00:00:00.000 No matter how much they try it, oh, no matter how much they try to drive that wedge between
00:00:22.600 us and divide us, tear us apart as a nation, ha ha ha, it's not working.
00:00:27.440 That's some of the good news, and I've got some proof for that.
00:00:33.180 I'll explain coming up.
00:00:34.280 Justin Barkley in for Glenn Beck today on the Glenn Beck program.
00:00:36.620 Do you remember this commercial from the 70s?
00:00:38.500 What's your favorite sport?
00:00:39.780 Baseball.
00:00:40.300 Sandwich.
00:00:40.740 Hot dog.
00:00:41.160 Five.
00:00:41.580 Apple.
00:00:42.220 And what's your favorite car, America?
00:00:44.380 Chevrolet.
00:00:45.040 Let me see, that's baseball, hot dogs, apple pie, and Chevrolet, huh?
00:00:48.220 Right.
00:00:48.800 Well, you sure sound like America to me.
00:00:50.680 We are.
00:00:51.480 Well, then you better tell me again, because I just might forget.
00:00:54.720 We love baseball, hot dogs, apple pie, and Chevrolet.
00:00:59.380 Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie, and Chevrolet.
00:01:02.460 Now, I know it's superficial, the baseball, the hot dogs, the apple pie, yeah, even the
00:01:07.500 Chevrolet.
00:01:09.880 But there's a little bit of nostalgia to that.
00:01:12.440 Just watching that, thinking about all those things were uniting.
00:01:21.020 All of those things were pieces of the culture that we could gather around, that we could
00:01:26.420 somehow find a way to rally around.
00:01:29.360 Because it doesn't matter, you know, who you identify as.
00:01:37.400 It doesn't matter what you think you are today.
00:01:42.180 It doesn't matter the color of your skin or what church you go to.
00:01:46.580 But we could all rally around our favorite baseball team watching America's pastime.
00:01:55.440 We could all enjoy some sort of grilled product, I would think.
00:02:02.140 If it's not a hot dog, you'd still throw some sort of meat on the grill.
00:02:07.900 Nowadays, we can't even do that.
00:02:09.660 It's got to be maybe a plant-based meat.
00:02:11.440 Let's throw a plant-based meat on the barbecue.
00:02:13.460 It doesn't have the same ring to it, does it?
00:02:19.420 But, you know, even things like that are uniquely designed to divide us these days.
00:02:28.160 Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie, and Chevrolet.
00:02:34.820 Even in the commercials.
00:02:37.500 Even in the advertising.
00:02:39.000 Madison Avenue and the rest of them spent millions.
00:02:43.460 Putting all that together.
00:02:45.400 To sell some cars.
00:02:47.140 How do they sell cars now?
00:02:48.960 Oh, boy.
00:02:50.540 You and I both know.
00:02:52.080 Look at the commercials.
00:02:53.140 Now, here's why I think they're not successful.
00:02:58.700 And this is where I think the good news is.
00:03:00.360 I started this show off by saying, boy, I heard there was a shortage of fireworks this year.
00:03:09.660 Just like the other shortages.
00:03:11.040 Now, some of these shortages are real and some of them, I think, are a little artificial.
00:03:16.000 But we have issues in the supply chain for all kinds of reasons.
00:03:18.920 It's true.
00:03:19.420 Not just the inflation.
00:03:20.600 But, of course, we've got the issues with trying to even find folks to work.
00:03:25.180 A lot of them in many states, states like mine, blue states like Michigan, where they're being paid to sit at home.
00:03:33.240 Of course, they're not going to go back to work.
00:03:34.660 Why would you do that?
00:03:35.600 Summertime?
00:03:36.040 Go back to work now?
00:03:37.140 No.
00:03:37.820 And, of course, when the kids are back in school, yeah, I don't know if I could do that either.
00:03:41.580 If I'm still being paid, I'd probably need to stay home.
00:03:45.560 Because the kids are going to need help with their homework.
00:03:47.480 You get the point.
00:03:48.240 But, you know, there are issues.
00:03:53.060 While there are issues, I don't know that the fireworks were real or not.
00:03:55.640 Because I'll tell you last night, I heard more.
00:03:58.260 And I certainly heard plenty on Saturday.
00:04:00.480 But I heard more last night than I heard Saturday.
00:04:03.580 And if I recall, last year was very similar.
00:04:09.000 Because we were told last year to stay home and to hunker down and to shelter in place and to not leave.
00:04:15.160 Oh, my goodness.
00:04:16.200 By the way, over the weekend, Biden tweeted, or somebody tweeted for him.
00:04:21.020 Because, thank God, you went from a president who owned Twitter to a president who doesn't even know what a Twitter is.
00:04:26.920 I mean, this guy doesn't.
00:04:28.940 I don't think he's putting his own sentences together, let alone tweeting them on Twitter on the toilet at 4 a.m.
00:04:37.140 What I'm saying is, I don't know what Biden's doing.
00:04:41.880 And I don't think he does even.
00:04:43.060 But yesterday, or over the weekend, it was tweeted on his account.
00:04:47.920 Let's put it that way.
00:04:50.060 That the most patriotic thing that we can do as Americans is to go get the jab, if we haven't already done that.
00:04:58.020 And boy, oh boy, wouldn't you know it?
00:04:59.920 There's another thing that's being used right now to divide us.
00:05:03.340 Last year, they used all kinds of interesting tactics.
00:05:07.160 Our governor here in Michigan, she used masks to divide us.
00:05:12.800 And as I started to roll the language out, I said, you know, got to be careful with this.
00:05:17.620 Early on in the beginning, I caught that.
00:05:22.080 I said, you got to be, because she was telling people to go out and confront each other.
00:05:27.900 Okay, so which is it?
00:05:29.360 Are we supposed to stay six feet away from each other?
00:05:32.260 Are we supposed to go up to each other in our personal space and confront each other?
00:05:36.900 She told people to confront each other, and people died because of it.
00:05:44.900 I think there were a couple people shot at a dollar store of an argument over masks.
00:05:48.440 And in fact, I think one man stabbed some people waiting in line at an ice cream shop.
00:06:00.040 While another one, I think that man eventually fled.
00:06:04.920 Police caught up with him and shot and killed him.
00:06:08.600 People died because of this division.
00:06:10.380 So as I mentioned it, and I do believe it's good news, last night, I didn't see or hear any issues with division.
00:06:24.660 Not this weekend.
00:06:25.900 I saw a country more united, I think, than almost any time in the nation's history.
00:06:32.420 Because the truth is, every single one of us, I think, want very much, at least pretty similar,
00:06:40.600 very much the same thing.
00:06:44.080 We want to come together with our family.
00:06:46.620 We want to celebrate holidays like the Fourth of July.
00:06:50.920 But slowly, oh and surely, just like you would turn the Titanic,
00:06:56.580 they are trying to turn this nation.
00:07:00.980 And I think it's something that we should be aware of.
00:07:05.020 Just like everything else.
00:07:07.540 I think it's wise.
00:07:09.080 It's prudent to know what's going on.
00:07:15.860 But I think you ought to know the good news, too.
00:07:18.340 And the good news is, they haven't turned all of us.
00:07:21.940 And there were millions last night that weren't.
00:07:25.740 They weren't turned.
00:07:26.640 There were millions over the weekend.
00:07:32.100 They weren't turned.
00:07:32.840 So when I play this audio from this commercial, the baseball, the apple pie, you know.
00:07:39.620 Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie, and Chevrolet.
00:07:43.240 That's baseball, hot dogs, apple pie, and Chevrolet.
00:07:46.680 That's a little slice of Americana right there from the 70s.
00:07:53.700 I play that commercial, and I think about the stark contrast and the difference between the commercials we see on television now.
00:08:01.760 And I'm telling you, it's my gut instinct.
00:08:06.080 I just know for a fact.
00:08:07.300 And I think you would probably feel the same way.
00:08:10.740 If we saw those kind of commercials today, those products would fly off the shelves.
00:08:18.100 In fact, we do see those type of advertisements and commercials for certain products, certain niche industries.
00:08:28.280 Certainly things like MyPillow.
00:08:32.780 You know the advertisers, because they advertise right here on this program, and they support these programs.
00:08:44.840 But what if the car manufacturers and all the other companies out there, what if instead of advertising how woke they are to us
00:08:54.660 and signaling how virtuous they are to us in every single commercial,
00:08:59.220 and really, in a sense, trying to drive us apart?
00:09:04.100 What if they, I don't know, what if they tried to wrap everybody up in their arms and unite us together,
00:09:12.260 maybe under that flag?
00:09:18.280 I tell you, I think they would see a stunning return to those products in a response,
00:09:28.860 because of the fact that it would just resonate with so many different Americans.
00:09:33.840 These things are deeply embedded.
00:09:35.560 They're ingrained in who we are.
00:09:38.260 And although they're trying to turn us,
00:09:42.120 they're not winning.
00:09:45.240 They
00:09:45.720 aren't winning.
00:09:49.780 Even though the New York Times
00:09:55.460 is now suggesting
00:10:00.120 that the flag
00:10:04.820 itself
00:10:06.040 is problematic.
00:10:08.520 The flag itself.
00:10:10.740 They're getting hit back.
00:10:14.340 Today, flying the American flag,
00:10:16.340 this is from the Times,
00:10:17.160 from the back of a pickup truck
00:10:19.220 or even a lawn
00:10:20.560 is increasingly seen
00:10:22.640 as a clue,
00:10:24.260 albeit
00:10:24.620 an imperfect one,
00:10:27.000 to a person's political affiliation
00:10:29.360 in a deeply divided nation.
00:10:31.840 You know,
00:10:32.500 I often said,
00:10:33.500 like,
00:10:35.780 I don't know,
00:10:36.980 it's pretty clear.
00:10:37.860 If you
00:10:38.600 have a flag outside your house,
00:10:40.460 I probably know who you voted for.
00:10:42.080 You don't need
00:10:42.840 a lawn sign.
00:10:44.800 I probably know
00:10:46.500 how you voted,
00:10:47.660 at least.
00:10:50.400 Although they're
00:10:52.000 drawing the connection
00:10:53.740 into a
00:10:54.880 disturbingly
00:10:56.360 divisive
00:10:58.620 place.
00:11:02.160 They say
00:11:03.300 a person's political affiliation
00:11:05.020 in a deeply divided nation
00:11:06.940 can't be
00:11:09.240 ascertained by that flag.
00:11:11.460 They say
00:11:12.480 deeply divided nation,
00:11:13.820 but see,
00:11:14.500 I see it differently.
00:11:18.340 We keep being told
00:11:19.500 that we're deeply divided.
00:11:23.920 We keep being told
00:11:25.220 that we're the problem.
00:11:29.340 I just don't think
00:11:30.260 that's the case.
00:11:32.560 I think
00:11:33.420 why they really
00:11:34.760 don't want us
00:11:35.380 getting together,
00:11:36.060 and they didn't
00:11:36.700 through the last year,
00:11:37.660 but especially
00:11:38.140 for holidays
00:11:39.080 like the 4th of July,
00:11:40.380 is because
00:11:42.080 when you do,
00:11:44.320 you turn off
00:11:45.500 the TV,
00:11:47.360 you step out
00:11:49.600 of your bubble,
00:11:51.340 you join
00:11:53.380 in towns
00:11:55.040 and cities
00:11:56.800 all across this country
00:11:58.000 with your neighbors
00:11:59.760 for fireworks
00:12:02.620 celebrations,
00:12:03.900 big displays,
00:12:05.400 right next to
00:12:06.580 each other.
00:12:07.000 regardless of
00:12:10.820 CDC guidance,
00:12:12.360 standing next
00:12:13.880 to one another,
00:12:15.020 having conversations
00:12:17.460 with a hot dog
00:12:18.200 in one hand
00:12:18.880 and a cold drink
00:12:20.540 in the other,
00:12:22.160 talking to your neighbors,
00:12:27.680 your friends,
00:12:29.680 your relatives,
00:12:30.340 the people
00:12:30.940 who make up
00:12:32.400 this country.
00:12:33.060 they're just
00:12:36.260 other folks
00:12:36.740 like you
00:12:37.140 and me,
00:12:38.380 the millions
00:12:39.680 of us,
00:12:41.340 who just
00:12:43.940 want the same
00:12:44.440 thing,
00:12:45.840 a better life
00:12:47.360 for our children
00:12:48.380 than the one
00:12:49.800 we had
00:12:50.360 before us,
00:12:51.880 the freedom
00:12:52.560 to do so,
00:12:54.400 get government
00:12:55.080 out of all
00:12:55.640 the rest
00:12:55.980 of the stuff
00:12:56.480 that causes
00:12:57.780 problems,
00:12:58.440 just let
00:13:02.480 me go
00:13:02.720 to work,
00:13:03.720 just let
00:13:04.220 me live
00:13:05.220 my life,
00:13:05.980 just let
00:13:06.280 me enjoy
00:13:07.220 the little
00:13:07.600 bit of
00:13:07.820 free time
00:13:08.220 I have
00:13:08.660 with my
00:13:08.980 family.
00:13:11.900 But we're
00:13:12.600 constantly
00:13:13.100 being pulled
00:13:13.820 into
00:13:14.360 political
00:13:15.180 fights.
00:13:20.440 We're
00:13:20.920 constantly
00:13:21.260 being told
00:13:21.740 that we're
00:13:22.220 the problem,
00:13:23.580 folks.
00:13:26.560 You're not
00:13:27.200 the problem.
00:13:28.440 you're the
00:13:30.020 solution.
00:13:31.260 Back after
00:13:31.920 this.
00:13:35.520 This is
00:13:36.720 the best
00:13:37.320 of the
00:13:37.680 Glenn Beck
00:13:37.980 program.
00:13:41.680 You know,
00:13:42.980 every,
00:13:43.780 every day
00:13:44.620 there is
00:13:46.080 something
00:13:46.520 insane
00:13:47.620 happening
00:13:48.820 in the
00:13:49.320 news.
00:13:50.000 Literally
00:13:50.660 every day.
00:13:52.480 and as
00:13:55.420 those
00:13:55.920 true
00:13:56.880 events
00:13:57.580 take
00:13:58.100 place,
00:13:58.920 I often
00:14:00.240 find the
00:14:00.720 need to
00:14:01.320 check in
00:14:01.940 with a
00:14:03.480 very specific
00:14:04.300 source.
00:14:05.980 It's not
00:14:06.680 the usual
00:14:07.960 go-to
00:14:08.940 that you
00:14:10.820 might think
00:14:11.260 of,
00:14:11.560 you know,
00:14:11.980 not the
00:14:13.060 New York
00:14:13.620 Times,
00:14:14.120 the paper,
00:14:14.700 a record,
00:14:15.340 people like
00:14:15.920 that.
00:14:16.220 No,
00:14:16.480 I actually
00:14:17.160 like to
00:14:18.600 check in
00:14:19.180 when I
00:14:19.720 hear some
00:14:20.620 of the
00:14:21.000 craziest
00:14:21.980 things
00:14:22.500 happening
00:14:22.980 with the
00:14:24.880 Babylon Bee.
00:14:26.160 Now,
00:14:26.300 don't laugh,
00:14:26.800 or actually
00:14:27.360 they may be
00:14:28.120 okay with
00:14:28.560 you doing
00:14:28.920 that,
00:14:29.220 because that's
00:14:30.940 their whole
00:14:31.260 intention.
00:14:32.240 They write
00:14:32.700 satire,
00:14:33.620 and they
00:14:34.400 are deadly
00:14:36.820 serious,
00:14:37.740 and boy,
00:14:38.440 does it sting
00:14:39.060 sometimes.
00:14:39.940 Isn't that
00:14:40.260 what satire's
00:14:40.940 supposed to
00:14:41.360 do?
00:14:41.560 And so
00:14:44.620 I thought
00:14:47.020 to myself,
00:14:48.020 you know,
00:14:48.400 when I
00:14:49.080 heard the
00:14:49.520 story that
00:14:49.900 they were
00:14:50.200 being targeted
00:14:51.020 by big
00:14:53.480 tech,
00:14:54.580 social media
00:14:55.340 censorship,
00:14:56.300 it's just a
00:14:56.860 matter of
00:14:57.200 time.
00:14:58.420 Why are
00:14:59.060 they coming
00:14:59.500 after the
00:14:59.980 Babylon Bee?
00:15:02.660 Because
00:15:03.100 they're
00:15:03.340 effective.
00:15:05.400 And their
00:15:06.000 chief,
00:15:06.840 Seth Dillon,
00:15:07.380 joins us now
00:15:07.960 on the
00:15:08.140 Glenn Beck
00:15:08.460 program.
00:15:09.140 Seth,
00:15:09.440 thanks for
00:15:09.740 being here
00:15:10.020 with us
00:15:10.240 today.
00:15:10.480 Appreciate
00:15:10.760 it.
00:15:12.300 Yeah,
00:15:12.700 thanks for
00:15:13.080 having me
00:15:13.400 on.
00:15:13.600 Glad to
00:15:13.820 be here.
00:15:14.840 So,
00:15:15.400 as I
00:15:16.380 mentioned,
00:15:16.980 I don't
00:15:17.360 think I'm
00:15:17.720 alone on
00:15:18.140 this,
00:15:18.360 but every
00:15:18.720 time I
00:15:18.980 hear something
00:15:19.360 crazy happening
00:15:20.060 in the
00:15:20.300 news,
00:15:20.540 which is
00:15:20.820 every day,
00:15:22.160 there's a
00:15:22.560 headline,
00:15:22.920 there's
00:15:23.060 something that
00:15:23.540 that's a
00:15:23.880 real story.
00:15:24.620 I then
00:15:24.820 got to go
00:15:25.220 find out,
00:15:25.720 okay,
00:15:25.840 how did
00:15:26.140 you guys
00:15:26.460 cover it?
00:15:27.160 Because
00:15:27.520 that,
00:15:28.680 in a lot
00:15:29.060 of ways,
00:15:30.160 it really
00:15:30.780 does.
00:15:31.300 It sort
00:15:31.640 of shows
00:15:32.280 me,
00:15:32.800 like,
00:15:32.940 okay,
00:15:33.500 and this
00:15:33.820 is how
00:15:34.240 I feel.
00:15:35.340 I think
00:15:35.560 a lot of
00:15:36.060 most of
00:15:36.700 us,
00:15:36.880 and I
00:15:37.160 think
00:15:37.300 that's
00:15:37.560 why
00:15:37.940 the
00:15:38.740 popularity
00:15:39.200 of the
00:15:39.480 bee
00:15:39.660 has risen
00:15:40.100 so sharp,
00:15:42.040 but it's
00:15:42.180 because people
00:15:43.240 feel this
00:15:44.020 way and
00:15:44.700 they relate
00:15:45.360 to that
00:15:45.880 humor.
00:15:46.880 There's
00:15:47.280 stinging
00:15:47.720 truth in
00:15:48.420 all of
00:15:49.020 it.
00:15:51.160 Yeah,
00:15:51.360 well,
00:15:51.540 it's a rich
00:15:52.260 environment
00:15:52.720 right now
00:15:53.140 for satire,
00:15:53.880 that's for
00:15:54.480 sure.
00:15:54.780 In some
00:15:55.040 ways,
00:15:55.280 it does
00:15:55.520 make the
00:15:55.860 job
00:15:56.060 harder,
00:15:56.460 though,
00:15:56.680 because
00:15:56.940 satire's
00:15:57.540 project is
00:15:58.140 to exaggerate
00:15:58.860 the truth
00:15:59.240 to make
00:15:59.580 its points.
00:16:00.860 And like
00:16:01.120 you said,
00:16:01.480 when we
00:16:01.680 wake up and
00:16:02.140 we read
00:16:02.420 the news
00:16:02.780 every day,
00:16:03.260 the news
00:16:03.620 is so
00:16:04.140 insane,
00:16:04.780 so absurd,
00:16:06.040 it's hard
00:16:06.480 to exaggerate
00:16:08.140 things like
00:16:08.740 reporters
00:16:09.180 standing in
00:16:09.700 front of
00:16:09.920 burning
00:16:10.160 buildings
00:16:10.600 describing
00:16:11.140 the situation
00:16:11.760 as mostly
00:16:12.240 peaceful.
00:16:14.540 It's
00:16:15.060 difficult to
00:16:15.680 satirize.
00:16:17.540 It makes
00:16:18.400 the job
00:16:18.760 challenging,
00:16:19.480 but it's
00:16:19.900 also good
00:16:20.680 to bring
00:16:20.980 some levity
00:16:21.520 and get
00:16:21.860 people laughing
00:16:22.560 but also
00:16:24.880 thinking about
00:16:25.700 these things.
00:16:26.960 How often
00:16:27.560 does it
00:16:28.160 happen?
00:16:28.700 Because I've
00:16:29.100 seen this,
00:16:29.460 it's almost
00:16:29.780 like prophecy,
00:16:30.900 the Babylon
00:16:31.440 Bee prophecy
00:16:32.320 now,
00:16:32.760 where us
00:16:34.040 say like
00:16:34.360 you can't
00:16:34.800 make this
00:16:35.200 stuff up,
00:16:35.760 but apparently
00:16:36.220 you guys
00:16:36.780 did and
00:16:37.260 you did
00:16:37.600 it maybe
00:16:38.340 a little
00:16:38.640 bit in
00:16:38.940 advance and
00:16:40.220 now here's
00:16:41.180 life imitating
00:16:42.760 art right in
00:16:43.400 front of our
00:16:43.800 eyes.
00:16:45.860 Well,
00:16:46.020 yeah,
00:16:46.180 that's the
00:16:46.480 challenge.
00:16:46.900 So,
00:16:47.140 okay,
00:16:47.420 the challenge
00:16:47.800 is to stay
00:16:48.260 a step ahead
00:16:48.780 of reality,
00:16:49.520 right?
00:16:50.460 Because reality
00:16:51.320 is moving at
00:16:52.300 breakneck pace
00:16:53.340 towards insanity.
00:16:55.560 We exaggerate it
00:16:57.000 to make our
00:16:58.120 points and to
00:16:58.720 make our jokes
00:16:59.280 go through and
00:17:00.520 sometimes literally
00:17:01.680 within minutes
00:17:02.780 or hours,
00:17:04.040 something that
00:17:05.120 we've written
00:17:05.600 that was satirical
00:17:06.400 at the time we
00:17:06.920 wrote it comes
00:17:07.640 out in a real
00:17:08.160 headline.
00:17:08.780 So that's
00:17:09.740 happening pretty
00:17:10.260 frequently.
00:17:10.760 It doesn't
00:17:10.960 happen every
00:17:11.420 day,
00:17:12.220 but usually
00:17:13.320 every couple
00:17:13.960 of weeks,
00:17:14.340 there's something
00:17:14.900 that we
00:17:15.240 published either
00:17:16.680 very recently
00:17:17.420 or even sometimes
00:17:18.260 like one or two
00:17:18.940 years ago that
00:17:19.600 ends up coming
00:17:20.180 true.
00:17:21.440 Mark it down as
00:17:22.240 a fulfilled
00:17:22.620 prophecy,
00:17:23.280 which is,
00:17:23.840 you know,
00:17:24.180 it's comical on
00:17:25.300 the one hand,
00:17:25.800 but it's also
00:17:26.460 kind of depressing
00:17:27.700 on the other.
00:17:28.180 what is like,
00:17:30.100 if you think
00:17:30.520 back to this,
00:17:32.180 Seth Dillon is
00:17:32.920 on with us now
00:17:33.580 from Babylon
00:17:34.520 B.
00:17:35.600 If you have to
00:17:36.240 think back to
00:17:36.980 maybe the first
00:17:38.180 one that you
00:17:39.560 remember,
00:17:40.140 or maybe the
00:17:40.600 one that makes
00:17:41.100 the biggest
00:17:41.440 impact on you,
00:17:42.160 it was a story
00:17:42.760 that you guys
00:17:43.240 wrote or something
00:17:43.780 that you put
00:17:44.260 together and
00:17:44.860 then it just,
00:17:46.720 you thought this
00:17:47.460 was wild,
00:17:48.500 maybe it'll never
00:17:49.120 happen,
00:17:49.600 but then there
00:17:50.560 it was,
00:17:52.120 real life.
00:17:52.740 well,
00:17:54.940 I mean,
00:17:55.240 there's a,
00:17:55.660 there's a million
00:17:56.220 examples.
00:17:56.940 I mean,
00:17:57.060 some recent ones,
00:17:57.820 like even some
00:17:58.300 lighthearted ones,
00:17:59.060 like we made a
00:17:59.640 joke back in the
00:18:01.420 middle of the
00:18:01.880 pandemic when
00:18:02.540 things were bad
00:18:03.160 last year about
00:18:04.800 how,
00:18:05.380 you know,
00:18:06.760 there were
00:18:07.280 increased sales
00:18:08.300 of shirts,
00:18:09.980 but not pants
00:18:10.800 because everyone
00:18:11.380 was working from
00:18:12.080 home and we
00:18:12.580 showed a picture
00:18:13.080 of a guy sitting
00:18:13.660 there in his
00:18:14.020 boxers.
00:18:15.120 And then the
00:18:15.700 very next day,
00:18:16.700 Yahoo Finance
00:18:17.540 published a story
00:18:18.500 about how Walmart
00:18:19.760 was seeing increased
00:18:20.620 sales of tops,
00:18:21.480 but not bottoms.
00:18:22.240 Like almost to a
00:18:24.000 word,
00:18:24.380 like exactly the
00:18:25.100 headline that we
00:18:25.700 had joked about
00:18:26.500 was actually true.
00:18:28.480 But there's other
00:18:29.240 ones too,
00:18:29.760 where,
00:18:29.920 you know,
00:18:30.120 it just shows
00:18:30.720 that we're right
00:18:31.240 on,
00:18:31.600 we're right on
00:18:32.460 with our,
00:18:32.880 with our
00:18:33.240 criticism of,
00:18:34.720 you know,
00:18:34.860 the mainstream
00:18:35.640 or legacy media
00:18:36.720 and how,
00:18:37.200 and how they,
00:18:38.280 you know,
00:18:38.680 they just try to
00:18:39.320 distort things and
00:18:40.100 cover things from
00:18:40.720 their own narrative.
00:18:41.340 We did,
00:18:41.820 we did a story on
00:18:42.760 how President
00:18:44.460 Trump during the
00:18:45.300 Abraham Accords
00:18:46.700 was ignoring
00:18:48.700 COVID protocols.
00:18:50.540 And that's what,
00:18:51.080 well,
00:18:51.160 that was how CNN
00:18:51.880 was going to
00:18:52.320 cover it,
00:18:52.660 right?
00:18:53.060 Trump ignores
00:18:53.740 COVID protocols
00:18:55.300 and shakes hands
00:18:56.480 with foreign
00:18:57.280 leaders.
00:18:58.440 And then three
00:18:59.240 hours later,
00:19:00.020 CNN publishes
00:19:00.880 a headline where
00:19:01.520 that was what
00:19:02.180 they covered.
00:19:02.840 It wasn't the
00:19:03.280 monumental occasion
00:19:04.680 that was happening
00:19:05.300 on your screen.
00:19:06.020 It was Trump
00:19:06.880 disregards COVID
00:19:07.940 protocols and,
00:19:08.840 and,
00:19:09.360 and disregards
00:19:10.260 distancing at the
00:19:11.100 Abraham Accords.
00:19:11.840 It's like,
00:19:12.180 that's not the story
00:19:13.220 here.
00:19:13.640 That's not the story.
00:19:14.960 But that kind of
00:19:15.660 stuff happens all
00:19:16.760 the time.
00:19:17.140 I think maybe
00:19:17.620 one of the most
00:19:18.120 egregious was
00:19:18.780 when we,
00:19:19.180 we made a joke
00:19:20.060 about how
00:19:20.440 Black Lives Matter
00:19:21.140 had been nominated
00:19:21.880 for the Nobel Peace
00:19:22.720 Prize,
00:19:23.140 and then it
00:19:23.460 actually happened.
00:19:25.500 Incredible moments
00:19:27.340 in the history
00:19:28.660 of the Babylon Bee.
00:19:30.100 And,
00:19:30.260 Seth,
00:19:31.580 I just realized
00:19:32.360 you guys had
00:19:33.040 just reached
00:19:34.600 a big milestone
00:19:35.660 on Twitter,
00:19:36.280 too.
00:19:36.500 You now have
00:19:36.920 a million
00:19:37.620 followers,
00:19:38.360 followers there.
00:19:39.880 The popularity
00:19:40.940 growing by
00:19:42.620 leaps and bounds,
00:19:43.360 and I think
00:19:44.000 it's because
00:19:44.500 you're effective.
00:19:45.240 Matter of fact,
00:19:46.520 that's probably
00:19:47.240 why you guys
00:19:47.880 are under attack.
00:19:48.860 What's the latest
00:19:49.480 in what have you
00:19:50.180 found with big
00:19:51.580 tech and censorship
00:19:52.320 right now?
00:19:54.580 Yeah,
00:19:55.020 so that is a big
00:19:55.760 milestone.
00:19:56.320 A million followers
00:19:56.840 on Twitter.
00:19:57.360 We just recently
00:19:57.860 had a million
00:19:58.460 on Instagram,
00:19:59.360 too.
00:20:00.040 And a lot of
00:20:00.580 people will point
00:20:01.080 to that and say,
00:20:01.700 what's censorship?
00:20:02.420 What are you
00:20:02.640 talking about?
00:20:03.100 Look at you,
00:20:03.560 you've got a huge
00:20:03.940 following,
00:20:04.500 you know,
00:20:04.740 people are,
00:20:05.420 people are following
00:20:06.300 you in droves.
00:20:06.900 But,
00:20:07.320 but our success
00:20:08.540 on those platforms
00:20:09.320 is despite the fact
00:20:11.180 that we're facing
00:20:12.100 huge setbacks
00:20:13.100 from,
00:20:13.560 you know,
00:20:14.140 attacks from the
00:20:14.700 media and suspensions.
00:20:16.120 Like our Twitter
00:20:16.480 page has been
00:20:17.020 suspended.
00:20:17.580 Our Facebook page
00:20:18.340 has been,
00:20:19.100 our posts have
00:20:19.720 been pulled
00:20:20.080 and we've been
00:20:20.700 demonetized several
00:20:21.680 times.
00:20:22.140 We've been
00:20:22.400 threatened with
00:20:22.960 being deplatformed
00:20:23.760 there.
00:20:24.820 MailChimp suspended
00:20:25.700 us recently and
00:20:26.440 then apologized
00:20:26.920 and turned us
00:20:27.500 back on.
00:20:28.560 But there's this,
00:20:29.360 there's been this
00:20:29.860 like coordinated
00:20:30.500 effort between big
00:20:31.520 tech and the media
00:20:32.340 in the last couple
00:20:33.180 of years as,
00:20:34.720 as the crackdown
00:20:35.420 on fake news
00:20:36.280 was really happening
00:20:37.140 and they were
00:20:37.420 trying to stop
00:20:38.000 the spread of
00:20:38.540 misinformation.
00:20:39.920 You started
00:20:40.620 seeing our posts
00:20:41.300 getting fact-checked
00:20:42.160 all the time.
00:20:43.100 And rated
00:20:44.420 false.
00:20:45.720 And then,
00:20:46.400 and then we were
00:20:46.840 getting threatened
00:20:47.400 with being deplatformed
00:20:48.420 if we continued
00:20:49.000 sharing false
00:20:49.660 information.
00:20:50.160 And we had to,
00:20:50.880 you know,
00:20:51.240 defend ourselves
00:20:51.820 and say,
00:20:52.160 this is not fake
00:20:52.940 news.
00:20:53.280 This is,
00:20:53.820 well,
00:20:54.120 it is fake news,
00:20:54.940 but it's not fake
00:20:56.000 news intended to
00:20:56.720 mislead.
00:20:57.200 It's fake news
00:20:57.720 intended to entertain.
00:20:58.660 This is satire.
00:20:59.300 So we've been
00:21:00.960 constantly in this
00:21:02.080 battle to assert
00:21:03.180 our right to be
00:21:03.900 on these platforms
00:21:04.740 and the media,
00:21:06.600 what's really
00:21:07.060 interesting with the
00:21:07.660 media is that
00:21:08.860 they've been trying
00:21:09.560 to generate this
00:21:10.780 narrative where
00:21:11.660 we're not really
00:21:12.680 satire,
00:21:13.280 we're pretending
00:21:13.980 to be satire
00:21:14.920 to just get around
00:21:15.680 Facebook's rules
00:21:16.540 against the spread
00:21:17.760 of misinformation.
00:21:18.840 So that's what,
00:21:19.460 that's what happened
00:21:20.020 with the New York
00:21:20.460 Times recently where
00:21:21.280 they called us a
00:21:21.840 far-right
00:21:22.200 misinformation
00:21:22.600 site that
00:21:23.800 traffics in
00:21:24.500 misinformation.
00:21:25.920 And that kind
00:21:26.600 of stuff,
00:21:27.020 you know,
00:21:27.220 like on the one
00:21:28.040 hand,
00:21:28.320 you know,
00:21:28.460 we want to,
00:21:28.880 we want to joke
00:21:29.460 about that and
00:21:30.060 like,
00:21:30.340 and make fun
00:21:30.840 of them for
00:21:31.320 being,
00:21:31.800 you know,
00:21:33.420 for,
00:21:34.080 for,
00:21:34.540 for,
00:21:34.940 you know,
00:21:35.360 misrepresenting
00:21:36.060 us that way
00:21:36.760 and,
00:21:37.000 and,
00:21:37.360 and trying to
00:21:37.920 make people think
00:21:38.540 that there's
00:21:38.860 something malicious
00:21:39.440 about our,
00:21:40.000 our satire.
00:21:40.980 But on the other
00:21:41.640 hand,
00:21:41.780 we got to take
00:21:42.220 it really seriously
00:21:42.980 because next thing
00:21:43.820 you know,
00:21:44.140 we are going to
00:21:44.680 get the boot
00:21:45.140 from these social
00:21:45.700 media platforms
00:21:46.440 on the basis
00:21:47.240 of lies like that.
00:21:48.660 It's in fact,
00:21:49.420 New York Times
00:21:50.120 that's,
00:21:50.480 that's spreading
00:21:51.000 misinformation
00:21:51.400 about us,
00:21:52.460 not the other
00:21:53.140 way around.
00:21:53.760 So,
00:21:54.400 it's been an
00:21:55.100 ongoing battle,
00:21:55.900 but we've had
00:21:56.260 some successes
00:21:56.900 and we continue
00:21:57.520 to fight back
00:21:58.140 not taking any
00:21:58.820 of it lined
00:21:59.200 out.
00:21:59.840 What do you
00:22:00.480 make about
00:22:01.080 this latest
00:22:01.840 craziness
00:22:02.860 about,
00:22:04.020 and I've been
00:22:04.480 watching this
00:22:04.980 over the last
00:22:05.500 couple of days
00:22:05.880 with Facebook
00:22:06.520 and these
00:22:07.680 warnings about
00:22:08.400 you may have
00:22:08.860 come in contact
00:22:09.620 with extremist
00:22:10.460 content and
00:22:11.360 or you in fact
00:22:12.560 may be an
00:22:13.380 extremist.
00:22:14.020 It's almost
00:22:14.300 like,
00:22:14.980 you know,
00:22:15.360 do you have
00:22:16.260 an American flag
00:22:17.080 flying outside
00:22:17.740 of your house?
00:22:18.460 Do you,
00:22:19.000 do you have a
00:22:20.060 Bible?
00:22:20.340 Did you attend
00:22:21.040 church yesterday?
00:22:21.920 You may be an
00:22:22.660 extremist.
00:22:23.480 Right.
00:22:23.640 What,
00:22:23.900 what,
00:22:24.560 what do you
00:22:25.080 make about,
00:22:25.620 I mean,
00:22:25.940 it's so crazy
00:22:27.540 that this is
00:22:28.080 the world we
00:22:28.580 live in.
00:22:28.900 We're starting
00:22:29.280 to see Facebook
00:22:30.080 doing something
00:22:30.700 like this.
00:22:31.220 It's nuts.
00:22:32.840 Yeah,
00:22:33.320 it feels very
00:22:33.860 Orwellian,
00:22:34.500 doesn't it?
00:22:35.440 And again,
00:22:36.140 that's a rich,
00:22:36.740 rich atmosphere
00:22:37.420 for satire.
00:22:38.200 We're making
00:22:38.700 plenty of jokes
00:22:39.320 about this.
00:22:39.820 I'm personally
00:22:40.520 concerned because
00:22:41.500 I have not
00:22:42.280 been yet warned
00:22:43.520 that I might be
00:22:44.260 an extremist
00:22:44.820 or have affiliation
00:22:45.540 with extremists.
00:22:47.120 You know,
00:22:47.680 I think,
00:22:48.080 I think I should
00:22:48.640 have that warning
00:22:49.360 on me.
00:22:51.040 And I'm a little
00:22:52.080 concerned that
00:22:52.740 Facebook doesn't
00:22:53.360 think of me
00:22:53.760 that way.
00:22:54.880 I think,
00:22:55.680 look,
00:22:55.900 honestly,
00:22:56.320 it's a badge
00:22:56.840 of honor
00:22:57.220 when,
00:22:57.540 when,
00:22:57.800 when these,
00:22:58.760 when people
00:22:59.800 like the New
00:23:00.320 York Times
00:23:00.740 are coming
00:23:01.100 after us
00:23:01.620 and trying
00:23:01.960 to smear us,
00:23:02.760 I would much
00:23:03.340 rather have
00:23:03.840 them doing
00:23:04.260 that than
00:23:04.820 praising us
00:23:05.500 and saying
00:23:05.940 that we're
00:23:06.180 great.
00:23:06.660 So I think
00:23:07.840 it's a good
00:23:08.260 thing.
00:23:08.560 I mean,
00:23:08.780 I think it
00:23:09.200 means that
00:23:09.520 we're on
00:23:09.800 the right
00:23:10.040 track,
00:23:10.580 honestly.
00:23:11.720 But the
00:23:12.260 stuff with
00:23:12.600 big tech
00:23:13.140 and putting
00:23:13.520 out those
00:23:13.860 warnings,
00:23:14.360 I mean,
00:23:14.520 it's very
00:23:14.860 ominous,
00:23:15.360 isn't it?
00:23:15.680 It's no
00:23:17.960 laughing matter
00:23:18.560 on one
00:23:19.320 hand because
00:23:19.880 they're basically
00:23:20.760 looking for you
00:23:21.380 to rat on
00:23:22.140 your friends
00:23:22.720 and your
00:23:22.980 neighbors and
00:23:23.640 expose them
00:23:24.880 for being
00:23:25.220 extremists.
00:23:25.960 I made a
00:23:26.460 joke about
00:23:26.840 this.
00:23:27.140 I said,
00:23:27.420 you know,
00:23:27.600 I'm concerned
00:23:28.260 that some
00:23:28.760 of my,
00:23:29.180 some of my,
00:23:30.420 some of my
00:23:31.180 friends are
00:23:31.680 pro-abortion,
00:23:32.640 that they're
00:23:32.880 okay with
00:23:33.240 abortion.
00:23:33.720 Does that
00:23:34.020 count?
00:23:35.120 You know,
00:23:35.780 it's,
00:23:36.160 it's just,
00:23:36.720 it's amazing
00:23:37.320 how views on
00:23:38.340 one side of
00:23:38.880 the political
00:23:39.280 spectrum are
00:23:40.300 considered
00:23:40.640 extremism,
00:23:41.380 but not on
00:23:41.680 the other.
00:23:41.940 Yeah,
00:23:43.840 it's,
00:23:44.220 it really
00:23:44.780 is something.
00:23:45.440 I mean,
00:23:45.740 when you guys
00:23:46.460 started this,
00:23:47.180 was this all
00:23:47.600 your,
00:23:47.920 always the
00:23:48.500 plan or
00:23:48.980 was there,
00:23:49.600 I mean,
00:23:49.940 what,
00:23:50.240 what was,
00:23:50.860 like,
00:23:51.440 what was the
00:23:52.000 kind of the
00:23:52.460 spark with
00:23:53.480 the Babylon
00:23:53.940 Bee?
00:23:54.280 I mean,
00:23:54.500 you probably
00:23:54.980 had no idea
00:23:55.720 you would be
00:23:56.100 where you are
00:23:56.500 today and
00:23:57.000 could see
00:23:57.560 this coming.
00:23:59.760 No,
00:24:00.300 but the guy,
00:24:01.140 Adam Ford is
00:24:01.960 the founder of
00:24:02.580 the Babylon
00:24:02.920 Bee.
00:24:03.260 He started
00:24:03.680 it in
00:24:03.980 2016 and
00:24:05.300 he did see
00:24:05.860 that there
00:24:06.180 was a
00:24:06.540 absolutely
00:24:07.240 huge
00:24:07.760 opportunity
00:24:08.400 to go
00:24:08.940 into,
00:24:10.300 to tap
00:24:11.740 into
00:24:12.180 the
00:24:12.500 untapped
00:24:13.340 market
00:24:13.840 where people
00:24:14.460 on the
00:24:15.260 right were
00:24:15.640 not,
00:24:15.900 you know,
00:24:16.040 the left
00:24:16.320 has always
00:24:16.680 been very
00:24:17.140 good at
00:24:17.480 satire,
00:24:18.040 at mockery,
00:24:18.560 at ridicule.
00:24:20.160 You know,
00:24:20.300 they've always
00:24:20.840 been great
00:24:21.500 at,
00:24:21.880 and I think
00:24:22.220 a lot of
00:24:22.540 the reason
00:24:22.820 is because
00:24:23.120 they don't
00:24:23.400 have great
00:24:23.780 arguments for
00:24:24.320 their position.
00:24:25.000 They resort
00:24:25.880 to ridicule
00:24:26.640 because,
00:24:27.520 you know,
00:24:28.160 that's how
00:24:28.460 they think
00:24:28.820 they're refuting
00:24:29.360 you.
00:24:30.160 But the
00:24:31.080 right has
00:24:31.500 historically
00:24:31.940 been much
00:24:32.580 worse at
00:24:33.040 that.
00:24:33.600 And so
00:24:33.980 there was a
00:24:34.400 huge void
00:24:35.140 there that
00:24:35.800 the Babylon
00:24:36.380 Bee
00:24:36.640 filled.
00:24:37.520 So the
00:24:37.960 site took
00:24:38.380 off like
00:24:41.740 credit to
00:24:42.140 Adam for
00:24:42.620 seeing that
00:24:43.100 opportunity
00:24:43.580 there and
00:24:44.140 executing on
00:24:44.880 it.
00:24:45.180 I think
00:24:45.720 the Babylon
00:24:46.100 Bee was
00:24:46.900 able to
00:24:47.240 do
00:24:47.540 conservative
00:24:48.840 Christian
00:24:49.360 humor that
00:24:50.020 wasn't
00:24:50.360 cheesy and
00:24:51.040 that really
00:24:51.440 connected with
00:24:52.000 people.
00:24:52.440 It was,
00:24:52.680 you know,
00:24:53.260 it was
00:24:53.560 snarky and
00:24:54.100 it was fun
00:24:54.540 and it
00:24:54.720 was biting
00:24:55.180 and it
00:24:55.760 stung on
00:24:56.520 both sides
00:24:57.260 and didn't
00:24:58.220 really pull
00:24:58.660 back,
00:24:59.380 pull any
00:24:59.620 punches on
00:25:00.120 anybody.
00:25:00.680 You know,
00:25:01.300 Trump was
00:25:01.960 one of our
00:25:02.300 biggest targets
00:25:02.900 during his
00:25:03.420 presidency.
00:25:04.160 So I
00:25:05.020 think that's
00:25:05.340 part of the
00:25:05.760 reason why
00:25:05.980 the Bee's
00:25:06.280 been so
00:25:06.580 successful.
00:25:08.260 So,
00:25:08.980 Seth Dillon
00:25:09.860 with the
00:25:10.320 Babylon Bee
00:25:11.060 right now,
00:25:13.360 just last
00:25:14.200 kind of
00:25:14.480 thing before
00:25:15.100 I let you
00:25:15.560 go is
00:25:16.080 you guys,
00:25:16.960 it must be
00:25:17.300 a fun
00:25:17.660 work environment
00:25:18.340 but you're
00:25:18.720 finding yourself
00:25:19.380 in some
00:25:19.740 serious places
00:25:20.580 too.
00:25:22.900 You know,
00:25:23.240 where do you
00:25:23.800 see all
00:25:24.800 of this
00:25:25.080 going?
00:25:26.340 You're so
00:25:26.820 much,
00:25:27.160 I don't
00:25:27.340 know if
00:25:27.620 it's a
00:25:28.520 prophetic
00:25:28.920 thing or
00:25:29.600 if it's,
00:25:30.080 you know,
00:25:30.620 I'm not
00:25:30.880 asking you
00:25:31.180 to get the
00:25:31.460 crystal ball
00:25:32.080 out or
00:25:32.380 anything but
00:25:32.900 just because
00:25:33.680 you're so
00:25:34.040 close to it
00:25:34.620 maybe,
00:25:34.980 where do you
00:25:35.360 see us
00:25:36.680 headed and
00:25:37.660 what's
00:25:38.660 resonating with
00:25:39.320 people on
00:25:39.880 your website
00:25:40.380 and the
00:25:40.700 things,
00:25:40.980 the
00:25:41.060 content you
00:25:41.500 guys produce
00:25:41.980 and where
00:25:43.120 we're headed
00:25:43.500 as a
00:25:43.820 country?
00:25:45.840 Well,
00:25:46.440 I mean,
00:25:46.760 just for
00:25:47.180 where we're
00:25:47.840 headed,
00:25:48.200 I mean,
00:25:48.420 we're going
00:25:49.120 to continue
00:25:49.520 to see a
00:25:49.960 lot of
00:25:50.140 these attacks.
00:25:50.860 You know,
00:25:50.960 we're seeing
00:25:51.300 the landscape
00:25:51.960 evolve a little
00:25:52.740 bit.
00:25:53.360 I think
00:25:53.620 these attempts
00:25:54.160 to label
00:25:54.660 us as
00:25:55.180 misinformation
00:25:55.720 and shut
00:25:56.460 us down
00:25:56.920 and suppress
00:25:57.540 our speech
00:25:58.160 have failed.
00:25:59.420 You know,
00:25:59.960 our victory
00:26:00.360 against the
00:26:00.760 New York
00:26:00.960 Times and
00:26:01.460 getting to
00:26:01.980 retract those
00:26:02.680 statements
00:26:03.040 is evidence
00:26:04.280 of that.
00:26:05.020 But now
00:26:05.440 they're switching
00:26:05.920 course and
00:26:06.540 they're attacking
00:26:07.360 from a different
00:26:08.040 angle and we
00:26:10.100 have Facebook
00:26:10.680 now saying
00:26:11.320 that satire
00:26:11.960 that is down
00:26:13.100 is not allowed.
00:26:14.020 That doesn't
00:26:14.300 count as satire
00:26:15.100 because it's
00:26:15.700 hate speech
00:26:16.220 disguised as
00:26:17.020 satire.
00:26:18.200 And now
00:26:18.620 you've got
00:26:19.020 media outlets
00:26:20.620 like Slate
00:26:21.260 writing articles
00:26:21.960 later after that
00:26:23.140 policy is announced
00:26:23.960 that the Babylon
00:26:25.220 Bee has a nasty
00:26:26.120 tendency to punch
00:26:27.180 down.
00:26:27.540 So I think
00:26:28.340 that's the new
00:26:29.000 line of attack.
00:26:30.060 They're going to
00:26:30.300 say that we're
00:26:30.860 spreading hatred
00:26:31.760 under the guise of
00:26:32.580 satire instead of
00:26:33.360 misinformation under
00:26:34.180 the guise of
00:26:34.580 satire.
00:26:34.900 So there's
00:26:35.700 this ongoing
00:26:36.580 battle where
00:26:37.260 we're defending
00:26:37.940 ourselves and
00:26:38.720 our right to
00:26:39.240 speak freely,
00:26:39.920 our right to
00:26:40.920 make these jokes
00:26:41.760 that me on the
00:26:42.600 left wants us
00:26:43.260 to make because
00:26:43.880 these are
00:26:44.220 protected targets.
00:26:45.860 I mean this
00:26:46.140 whole idea that
00:26:47.180 we're punching
00:26:47.700 down is just so
00:26:48.580 insane.
00:26:49.460 We are punching
00:26:50.360 back and we're
00:26:51.160 punching up at
00:26:52.100 all this top
00:26:53.840 down tyranny from
00:26:54.920 the progressive
00:26:55.700 left.
00:26:56.680 There are ideas
00:26:57.800 that are being
00:26:58.820 imposed on
00:26:59.420 everyone from
00:27:00.060 the biggest
00:27:00.460 corporations,
00:27:01.400 celebrities,
00:27:02.020 politicians.
00:27:02.860 It's all coming
00:27:03.520 from high up.
00:27:05.040 And so when we
00:27:05.600 push back on
00:27:06.360 that and we
00:27:06.800 fight back,
00:27:07.420 they try to say
00:27:07.980 that we're
00:27:08.240 punching down.
00:27:09.020 That's just
00:27:09.340 absurd.
00:27:10.040 And the idea
00:27:10.480 that you can
00:27:10.860 punch down
00:27:11.360 anyway that,
00:27:12.120 you know,
00:27:12.280 oh, don't
00:27:12.620 make jokes
00:27:13.020 about women
00:27:13.440 that's punching
00:27:13.920 down.
00:27:14.280 Why do you
00:27:14.640 say that?
00:27:15.120 Are women
00:27:15.440 beneath me?
00:27:16.720 I don't think
00:27:17.500 that.
00:27:18.320 So, you know,
00:27:19.260 it's just we're
00:27:19.900 in a crazy
00:27:20.620 environment right
00:27:21.400 now where we're
00:27:21.820 still defending
00:27:22.340 ourselves against
00:27:22.980 a lot of that
00:27:23.500 nonsense.
00:27:24.220 But as far as
00:27:24.840 where this is
00:27:25.280 all going, I
00:27:25.820 try to stay
00:27:26.280 optimistic and I
00:27:27.060 hope the pendulum
00:27:27.580 swings back the
00:27:28.300 other way.
00:27:29.480 Seth Dillon,
00:27:30.100 thank you so
00:27:30.680 much for being
00:27:31.180 here with us.
00:27:31.680 Good luck to
00:27:32.120 you, man.
00:27:32.500 And we
00:27:32.760 appreciate it.
00:27:33.460 Keep up the
00:27:34.580 great work at
00:27:35.160 the Babylon B.
00:27:36.960 Thanks so much.
00:27:37.760 Appreciate you.
00:27:38.160 The best of the
00:27:41.140 Glenn Beck
00:27:41.540 program.
00:27:48.020 People are
00:27:48.900 fighting back.
00:27:49.960 They are
00:27:50.260 standing up.
00:27:51.060 I mean, even
00:27:51.500 when it seems
00:27:52.300 like all may be
00:27:53.320 lost and it's
00:27:56.260 hopeless at times,
00:27:57.140 there is some
00:27:57.660 good news.
00:28:01.320 You know, it's
00:28:02.140 one of the
00:28:02.680 things I talk
00:28:03.240 about in my
00:28:06.280 book, Good
00:28:06.700 News, that there
00:28:07.760 are things
00:28:08.500 happening in
00:28:09.780 the world, I
00:28:10.800 think, that are
00:28:11.480 worth celebrating.
00:28:13.600 And we ought to
00:28:14.300 do that more
00:28:15.280 often.
00:28:15.900 You're not going
00:28:16.320 to hear it in the
00:28:16.860 headlines and
00:28:17.380 nightly news.
00:28:17.940 You're not going
00:28:18.260 to see it from
00:28:19.500 the usual
00:28:19.860 suspects.
00:28:20.820 But when we
00:28:21.340 see it, we
00:28:21.700 ought to make
00:28:22.100 sure that we
00:28:22.480 share those
00:28:23.000 things and we
00:28:23.580 definitely tell
00:28:24.300 those stories
00:28:24.920 with each other
00:28:25.580 and together.
00:28:28.060 There's one
00:28:28.680 such video I
00:28:29.400 wanted to share
00:28:29.880 with you.
00:28:30.140 This comes from
00:28:30.800 a dad in
00:28:31.680 Arizona who's
00:28:32.740 gone to a
00:28:33.220 school board
00:28:33.620 meeting.
00:28:34.620 First of all,
00:28:35.720 I congratulate
00:28:36.280 him for that.
00:28:36.940 parents, you've
00:28:38.360 got to go to
00:28:39.080 school board
00:28:39.560 meetings.
00:28:40.620 We've got to
00:28:41.380 be engaged
00:28:42.160 civically.
00:28:43.860 We've got to
00:28:44.520 be engaged in
00:28:45.100 our kids in
00:28:46.180 their education.
00:28:46.880 If you're going
00:28:47.460 to send them to
00:28:47.840 public school,
00:28:48.500 especially, we've
00:28:51.100 got to be engaged
00:28:52.020 in that process to
00:28:53.160 let these people
00:28:53.780 know that we're
00:28:54.380 watching, that
00:28:55.980 we're going to
00:28:56.240 be a part of
00:28:56.800 it, that we're
00:28:57.440 actively participating.
00:28:59.800 This man is
00:29:00.740 speaking up and
00:29:01.440 it's also what he
00:29:02.380 says.
00:29:03.480 From his
00:29:04.100 perspective as a
00:29:04.860 black man, a
00:29:06.340 father, what
00:29:08.320 he says about
00:29:08.920 what they're
00:29:09.340 teaching, the
00:29:10.600 critical race
00:29:11.160 theory, and the
00:29:12.240 divisive things
00:29:13.380 that they're
00:29:13.700 teaching in
00:29:14.240 schools.
00:29:15.160 Take a listen.
00:29:16.220 From Chandler.
00:29:19.340 Thank you.
00:29:21.360 I'm not part of
00:29:22.380 any group.
00:29:23.040 I just came
00:29:23.520 here because my
00:29:24.260 kids are 8,
00:29:25.340 10, and 12.
00:29:26.840 And we start
00:29:29.940 to experience
00:29:30.860 things as far
00:29:31.660 as Black
00:29:32.180 History Month.
00:29:32.820 my kids will
00:29:34.140 come home and
00:29:35.020 they will be
00:29:35.280 afraid.
00:29:36.340 And I would
00:29:37.020 always ask them
00:29:37.540 what was going
00:29:38.040 on, and then I
00:29:38.800 start realizing
00:29:39.440 that they were
00:29:40.140 teaching stuff,
00:29:41.220 they taught my
00:29:42.060 kids about
00:29:42.520 slavery, and
00:29:43.720 then civil rights,
00:29:45.020 and nothing in
00:29:45.660 between.
00:29:46.240 And now you
00:29:46.820 got CRT, and
00:29:49.280 I ask you guys
00:29:51.500 not to burden my
00:29:52.380 kids with something
00:29:52.980 that's going to
00:29:53.340 hold them back.
00:29:54.240 30 seconds.
00:29:55.100 I don't really
00:29:55.600 teach them all the
00:29:56.900 history because I
00:29:58.080 want them to soar
00:29:58.880 as big as they can
00:29:59.760 be without the
00:30:00.800 burden of someone
00:30:01.440 saying where
00:30:02.020 you're oppressed
00:30:02.780 or I'm being
00:30:04.740 nice to you is
00:30:05.320 why you're
00:30:05.740 succeeding.
00:30:06.540 I want my
00:30:07.120 kids to just
00:30:07.760 thrive and
00:30:08.720 continue to be
00:30:09.360 kids and grow
00:30:10.480 as much as
00:30:10.900 they possibly
00:30:11.320 can.
00:30:11.600 So I ask you
00:30:12.100 guys, just
00:30:13.540 take a look at
00:30:14.580 what you're doing
00:30:15.060 and what the
00:30:15.680 future is going
00:30:16.180 to hold for
00:30:17.640 the kids that
00:30:18.220 are experiencing
00:30:18.720 all this right
00:30:19.380 now.
00:30:20.240 That's pretty
00:30:20.820 much all I have
00:30:21.360 to say.
00:30:21.900 The father
00:30:22.340 making a plea
00:30:23.300 at a school
00:30:23.920 board meeting.
00:30:26.340 It may not
00:30:27.140 seem like
00:30:28.140 he's doing
00:30:32.200 anything
00:30:32.840 too grand.
00:30:35.320 It may not
00:30:35.680 seem like he
00:30:36.260 is wielding
00:30:38.520 a sword
00:30:39.060 and just
00:30:41.920 completed a
00:30:43.220 battle and
00:30:46.060 come out
00:30:46.620 victoriously.
00:30:47.360 But I
00:30:47.920 applaud that
00:30:48.980 man because
00:30:51.380 he's done
00:30:51.800 what a lot
00:30:52.540 of folks
00:30:53.060 more and
00:30:54.100 more are
00:30:54.460 doing every
00:30:55.000 day.
00:30:57.100 And we
00:30:57.780 ought to
00:30:58.200 consider doing
00:30:59.100 ourselves.
00:31:00.540 Whether you
00:31:01.040 got kids or
00:31:01.480 not, if
00:31:01.820 you're a
00:31:02.060 taxpayer, you
00:31:02.620 live in the
00:31:04.040 area that you
00:31:05.020 live in, a
00:31:05.640 lot of times
00:31:06.280 your home
00:31:06.660 values are
00:31:07.300 even tied
00:31:08.600 to the
00:31:10.180 schools.
00:31:10.860 Like where
00:31:11.120 we live, it's
00:31:11.780 a great school
00:31:12.300 system, their
00:31:14.380 home values are
00:31:15.140 tied to that,
00:31:15.980 you're paying
00:31:16.420 taxes on it,
00:31:17.280 etc.
00:31:19.120 So you
00:31:19.680 ought to have
00:31:20.120 some input.
00:31:23.060 especially in
00:31:24.540 that system.
00:31:26.240 Another place
00:31:26.800 where they're
00:31:27.100 seeing right
00:31:27.560 now critical
00:31:28.380 race theory
00:31:28.960 and divisiveness
00:31:30.120 sort of rearing
00:31:31.900 its ugly
00:31:32.340 head is a
00:31:34.820 place that
00:31:35.300 is very
00:31:35.920 concerning.
00:31:37.180 In fact,
00:31:37.560 that's the
00:31:37.920 military.
00:31:39.680 Joining us to
00:31:40.180 talk a little
00:31:40.500 bit about
00:31:40.860 that, author
00:31:42.240 Adam Davis,
00:31:43.020 good friend of
00:31:43.480 mine, he's
00:31:43.980 written several
00:31:44.600 books, multiple
00:31:45.380 on different
00:31:46.520 topics, but
00:31:47.140 they all
00:31:47.460 really revolve
00:31:48.760 around the
00:31:49.040 same theme.
00:31:49.740 He's a
00:31:49.980 retired police
00:31:50.640 officer.
00:31:51.160 Supporting
00:31:52.900 those folks
00:31:53.380 who go out
00:31:53.800 and serve
00:31:54.240 for us,
00:31:54.820 whether it's
00:31:55.760 in the
00:31:56.660 line of
00:31:57.100 duty on
00:31:57.680 the call
00:31:58.520 here on
00:32:00.080 our streets
00:32:00.740 or in
00:32:01.320 battlefields
00:32:02.740 all throughout
00:32:03.420 the world.
00:32:04.100 Adam,
00:32:04.500 appreciate you
00:32:04.960 being here
00:32:05.260 with us
00:32:05.500 today.
00:32:05.720 How are
00:32:05.980 you?
00:32:07.120 Justin,
00:32:07.640 always an
00:32:08.100 honor to
00:32:08.400 speak with
00:32:08.740 you, my
00:32:08.980 friend, and
00:32:09.580 doing well,
00:32:10.440 doing well
00:32:10.900 here in
00:32:11.700 South Alabama
00:32:12.480 down in
00:32:12.900 Dothan,
00:32:13.300 Alabama, and
00:32:14.040 wonderful to
00:32:15.000 be able to
00:32:15.640 speak with
00:32:16.000 you again on
00:32:16.480 such an
00:32:16.820 important
00:32:17.020 matter.
00:32:17.340 So, recently
00:32:19.060 the military
00:32:20.000 is now
00:32:22.680 going through
00:32:24.780 this woke
00:32:25.400 process, and
00:32:26.620 it's something
00:32:27.400 that a lot of
00:32:27.960 folks, as we're
00:32:28.460 watching it, very
00:32:29.720 concerning, because
00:32:30.560 you think about
00:32:31.300 this, and you
00:32:31.800 think, wow, if
00:32:32.840 this falls, I
00:32:35.080 mean, some of
00:32:35.760 the real last
00:32:37.780 havens in
00:32:38.600 government and
00:32:40.920 service is our
00:32:41.860 military.
00:32:42.280 You've got
00:32:42.820 patriots there
00:32:43.640 that are
00:32:44.900 conservative, that
00:32:45.980 are traditional,
00:32:47.340 they might
00:32:47.980 call them
00:32:48.340 extremists
00:32:48.860 now, but I
00:32:49.880 think the
00:32:50.160 real extremists
00:32:51.060 are the
00:32:51.320 ones who
00:32:52.760 are the
00:32:53.520 Marxists, who
00:32:54.480 are trying to
00:32:55.200 drive a wedge
00:32:56.600 and drive this
00:32:57.560 ideology into
00:32:59.180 places that it
00:33:00.020 doesn't belong,
00:33:01.020 like the
00:33:01.560 military.
00:33:03.380 Yeah, well,
00:33:04.100 that's the thing
00:33:04.920 you have to
00:33:05.300 realize, and I
00:33:06.000 think more and
00:33:07.420 more people are
00:33:08.060 realizing it now,
00:33:09.620 is that for the
00:33:10.380 true extremists,
00:33:12.420 which are the
00:33:13.640 liberal, the
00:33:14.360 woke crowd,
00:33:15.740 whatever you
00:33:16.920 want to label
00:33:17.360 them as, the
00:33:18.320 ones that want
00:33:18.840 to destroy the
00:33:19.520 very foundation
00:33:20.340 of fundamental
00:33:21.060 truths of our
00:33:22.240 nation.
00:33:22.980 There is nothing
00:33:23.920 sacred to them,
00:33:25.180 not our
00:33:25.700 constitution, not
00:33:26.620 our way of
00:33:27.020 life, not the
00:33:28.540 military, the
00:33:29.440 church, the
00:33:29.880 school system,
00:33:30.480 they want to
00:33:30.920 attack the
00:33:31.380 very core of
00:33:32.800 who we are,
00:33:34.040 and there's no
00:33:34.980 place for such
00:33:35.700 divisive teaching
00:33:36.740 in the military.
00:33:38.580 Like, you know,
00:33:39.220 law enforcement,
00:33:39.920 you have to move
00:33:40.500 as one, you have
00:33:41.400 to be united, and
00:33:43.440 they want to
00:33:44.240 divide every
00:33:44.980 facet of
00:33:45.800 America so
00:33:46.520 that they can
00:33:46.980 conquer America
00:33:47.800 with their
00:33:48.360 socialist and
00:33:49.840 Marxist ideas,
00:33:51.000 where their
00:33:51.260 communist
00:33:51.740 propaganda, they
00:33:53.320 want to destroy
00:33:54.020 America and turn
00:33:54.820 it into what
00:33:55.580 they want.
00:33:56.100 They want to
00:33:56.400 make you a
00:33:56.860 slave to their
00:33:57.700 rule.
00:33:58.640 That's what they
00:33:59.180 want, and this
00:33:59.920 is just part of
00:34:00.480 their strategy, and
00:34:01.840 it has to be
00:34:02.360 stopped immediately.
00:34:04.200 It's happening in
00:34:05.020 the military, but
00:34:05.760 you're also seeing
00:34:06.420 it with the
00:34:08.240 police officers, and
00:34:09.140 I know you
00:34:09.600 served as a
00:34:11.540 police officer, but
00:34:12.300 now you serve
00:34:13.140 police officers,
00:34:14.140 and you serve
00:34:14.780 first responders,
00:34:16.980 and folks in the
00:34:18.140 military as well.
00:34:18.980 As an author, you
00:34:19.660 write books, a lot
00:34:21.120 of times devotionals.
00:34:22.300 These are things
00:34:23.120 that are directly
00:34:24.860 serving the souls
00:34:25.840 of these folks who
00:34:27.860 probably need it
00:34:29.180 more than any of
00:34:31.440 us these days.
00:34:32.500 They're constantly
00:34:33.320 under attack, but
00:34:34.100 you see the same
00:34:34.760 thing that we're
00:34:35.860 seeing now in the
00:34:36.400 military, been
00:34:36.940 happening with
00:34:38.200 police and police
00:34:40.580 departments all
00:34:41.220 across the
00:34:41.640 country.
00:34:41.740 We heard all
00:34:42.000 across the
00:34:42.580 country last
00:34:43.320 year about
00:34:43.800 defunding the
00:34:44.600 police, and
00:34:45.180 now we're
00:34:45.580 starting to see
00:34:46.260 some of those
00:34:46.880 places where
00:34:47.420 they tried that.
00:34:48.680 It didn't work
00:34:49.940 too well, and
00:34:50.560 of course, they're
00:34:51.120 having the
00:34:51.460 backtrack on
00:34:52.160 that, but it
00:34:53.280 can't be easy to
00:34:54.840 serve in the
00:34:55.320 line of duty
00:34:55.720 these days.
00:34:57.180 No, well, you
00:34:58.320 know, the fact
00:34:58.840 is that they
00:34:59.300 want to erase
00:34:59.960 truth, and they
00:35:00.680 want to redefine
00:35:01.440 truth, but you
00:35:02.240 can't redefine
00:35:03.060 what the truth
00:35:03.620 is, and we
00:35:05.020 have to go back
00:35:05.680 to the basics of
00:35:06.560 who we are as
00:35:07.140 a country.
00:35:08.820 Yes, you can
00:35:09.560 believe differently.
00:35:10.360 In fact, you can
00:35:11.360 speak things that
00:35:12.540 are against what
00:35:13.800 I believe, but
00:35:15.200 that's the beauty
00:35:15.900 of America, is
00:35:17.600 that you can have
00:35:19.240 a different belief
00:35:20.000 without being
00:35:21.060 persecuted, but the
00:35:22.460 people who are
00:35:22.980 behind this
00:35:23.680 critical race
00:35:24.340 theory and
00:35:24.860 behind defund
00:35:25.940 the police and
00:35:26.720 all these divisive
00:35:27.680 movements, they
00:35:28.860 don't believe the
00:35:29.720 same way.
00:35:30.620 They want to
00:35:31.140 silence and censor
00:35:32.580 the people who
00:35:33.580 speak the truth.
00:35:34.500 They want to
00:35:34.880 silence the
00:35:35.440 conservative movement
00:35:36.220 and label us
00:35:37.080 extremists, and the
00:35:38.700 only way that
00:35:39.240 we can see
00:35:39.800 America grow
00:35:40.700 and continue
00:35:41.420 to be a
00:35:41.980 country, a
00:35:43.600 land of liberty
00:35:44.400 and freedom, is
00:35:45.820 where we all
00:35:46.380 have the freedom
00:35:47.020 and liberty to
00:35:47.780 speak, and
00:35:48.420 speak truth, and
00:35:49.480 silence those who
00:35:50.360 want to divide
00:35:51.100 America.
00:35:54.040 You know, we've
00:35:55.380 talked about this
00:35:56.200 earlier today, but
00:35:57.420 why are they
00:36:00.040 trying to divide,
00:36:01.580 and not just
00:36:02.300 each of us, and
00:36:03.720 by the way, I
00:36:04.640 don't think it's
00:36:05.080 working.
00:36:05.540 I don't think
00:36:05.940 Americans are as
00:36:07.300 divided as they
00:36:07.960 want us to
00:36:08.400 believe, but why
00:36:09.320 is that their
00:36:10.540 goal?
00:36:11.120 Why are they
00:36:11.780 trying to do
00:36:12.260 this?
00:36:13.420 You can't
00:36:14.220 defeat a
00:36:14.900 united front.
00:36:16.380 It doesn't
00:36:16.800 matter if
00:36:17.200 there's three
00:36:17.620 people or
00:36:18.160 30 million or
00:36:18.920 300 million.
00:36:20.340 If an enemy
00:36:21.520 of 1 billion
00:36:22.320 comes against
00:36:23.060 300 million, but
00:36:25.040 that 300 million
00:36:26.040 is united and
00:36:27.380 arms locked
00:36:28.140 shoulder to
00:36:28.780 shoulder, that's
00:36:29.260 why military and
00:36:30.380 law enforcement
00:36:30.900 operations are so
00:36:31.900 successful.
00:36:33.000 They move as
00:36:33.580 one, they're
00:36:34.140 united.
00:36:34.740 They have one
00:36:35.240 mission.
00:36:36.140 They move as
00:36:36.660 one body.
00:36:38.000 You think
00:36:38.720 about marriages,
00:36:39.940 marriages where
00:36:40.880 the couples are
00:36:42.520 on different
00:36:43.100 terms, where
00:36:43.980 they're on
00:36:44.240 different pages,
00:36:44.960 where they're
00:36:45.200 not united, they
00:36:46.060 face conflict, they
00:36:47.000 fall apart.
00:36:47.860 If they're united
00:36:48.560 as one in every
00:36:49.520 aspect, they're
00:36:50.800 more successful in
00:36:51.720 everything.
00:36:52.480 Unity is the
00:36:53.900 beautiful joy.
00:36:54.840 It is truly the
00:36:56.820 greatest thing of
00:36:57.620 all.
00:36:58.140 When you're looking
00:36:58.620 at a country, when
00:36:59.440 you're looking at a
00:37:00.060 family, when you're
00:37:00.680 looking at a
00:37:01.160 business, you need
00:37:02.420 to be united.
00:37:03.280 An opponent cannot
00:37:04.200 come from the
00:37:04.880 outside and take
00:37:05.580 down a united front,
00:37:06.420 no matter how
00:37:06.900 much they're
00:37:08.420 outnumbered.
00:37:09.560 You see foreign
00:37:11.400 interference, you
00:37:12.680 see foreign
00:37:13.380 adversaries.
00:37:15.080 They love the
00:37:16.480 division that they
00:37:17.560 see coming from
00:37:18.820 the media in the
00:37:20.360 United States because
00:37:21.280 they see us as an
00:37:22.220 easy target.
00:37:23.420 It is all an attack
00:37:24.540 to divide America,
00:37:25.740 to further their
00:37:26.680 propaganda, to
00:37:28.160 take down Christian
00:37:29.020 ideals, to take
00:37:31.020 down the Christian
00:37:31.680 fundamentals, the
00:37:33.640 foundation of who
00:37:34.460 we are, to
00:37:35.840 redefine, to
00:37:36.640 fundamentally reshape
00:37:38.100 America.
00:37:39.020 They want to
00:37:39.560 further the
00:37:40.300 communist propaganda,
00:37:41.620 the Marxist
00:37:42.140 movement.
00:37:42.560 They want everything
00:37:43.740 to go their way or
00:37:45.500 it's not the right
00:37:46.140 way at all.
00:37:46.940 This isn't about
00:37:47.780 liberty and freedom
00:37:48.820 for them.
00:37:50.000 This is about
00:37:50.720 taking over and
00:37:52.220 conquering America.
00:37:53.280 Adam Davis, author
00:37:56.040 of several books.
00:37:56.720 By the way, we'll
00:37:57.400 tell you about those
00:37:58.020 coming up here in
00:37:58.540 a second.
00:37:58.880 But as you're
00:37:59.820 serving those who
00:38:00.780 are in service to
00:38:01.520 others, what are
00:38:02.240 you hearing from
00:38:03.120 whether it's
00:38:03.600 military or police
00:38:05.320 or what are you
00:38:05.960 hearing, what
00:38:07.180 they're facing, some
00:38:08.060 of the issues they're
00:38:08.660 facing on a daily
00:38:09.320 basis?
00:38:10.740 You know, law
00:38:11.180 enforcement, one of
00:38:11.860 the biggest things is
00:38:12.620 you see these just
00:38:15.040 absolute idiots calling
00:38:16.420 for defunding police
00:38:17.700 and that's all you can
00:38:18.860 label it because they
00:38:20.300 think that they're
00:38:20.880 hurting police and
00:38:21.840 they are.
00:38:22.300 But the people
00:38:23.420 that are hurting are
00:38:24.260 themselves.
00:38:25.700 So defund the police.
00:38:27.000 That's one of the
00:38:27.560 biggest things.
00:38:28.220 But you know what?
00:38:28.840 The beauty of it all
00:38:29.660 is through all of
00:38:30.420 this, you don't hear
00:38:31.100 about this on the
00:38:31.760 news.
00:38:32.000 And I know you talk
00:38:32.820 about this.
00:38:33.520 We don't hear the
00:38:34.200 good news.
00:38:35.080 You don't hear that
00:38:36.520 over 70% of Americans
00:38:38.380 trust and support
00:38:39.240 law enforcement.
00:38:40.040 You don't hear the
00:38:41.240 good things that are
00:38:41.900 happening and the
00:38:42.420 people who let them
00:38:43.060 know they appreciate
00:38:43.800 them and support
00:38:44.400 them.
00:38:45.120 So out of all of
00:38:46.240 these cries that get
00:38:47.180 media attention for
00:38:48.040 defund the police, the
00:38:49.920 vast majority of
00:38:51.180 Americans support and
00:38:52.280 love law enforcement,
00:38:53.840 support first
00:38:54.480 responders, and love
00:38:55.280 the military.
00:38:56.260 And we've got to get
00:38:56.900 back to where we
00:38:57.560 highlight that more
00:38:58.340 than we highlight the
00:38:59.060 idiots.
00:38:59.440 Take the microphone
00:39:00.140 away from the people
00:39:01.160 who hate America and
00:39:02.520 give it to the ones
00:39:03.160 who love our country.
00:39:04.560 You know, it's an
00:39:05.380 interesting stat.
00:39:06.140 You just said over
00:39:06.600 70% support the
00:39:08.000 police, 70% of
00:39:09.340 Americans.
00:39:09.720 And so we just had
00:39:10.480 that study.
00:39:12.220 In fact, it's in my
00:39:13.320 book, Good News, that
00:39:14.240 the U.S. ranks last
00:39:15.480 among 46 countries in
00:39:16.940 trust and media.
00:39:18.520 Reuters reporting that
00:39:19.660 that trust level is down
00:39:22.040 the lowest of all the
00:39:24.020 countries, but down the
00:39:25.060 lowest it's been ever in
00:39:26.940 the history.
00:39:27.460 And I think when you
00:39:28.120 compare those two
00:39:28.860 numbers, wow, it's easy
00:39:31.460 to see who Americans
00:39:32.780 trust and why, and
00:39:34.500 probably because of their
00:39:36.420 track record and who they
00:39:38.220 are, I mean, we can be a
00:39:40.200 judge of that fairly
00:39:41.240 easily.
00:39:42.120 Adam Davis, people can go
00:39:44.480 grab your book today if
00:39:45.720 they'd like to.
00:39:47.500 You've got a couple
00:39:48.380 though, so quickly, let's
00:39:50.500 run through them.
00:39:51.780 TheAdamDavis.com is the
00:39:52.940 website.
00:39:53.800 But you've got a couple
00:39:54.560 of different books because
00:39:55.640 I know we're coming up on
00:39:56.940 the 20th anniversary of
00:39:58.140 September 11th, and I
00:39:59.780 know Americans haven't
00:40:00.580 forgotten.
00:40:00.980 I've seen the way we
00:40:01.620 celebrated over this
00:40:02.500 weekend.
00:40:03.220 You may want to give a
00:40:04.380 copy to someone that you
00:40:06.240 know, that you love, that's
00:40:07.260 serving, whether it's
00:40:08.060 a police, fire, some
00:40:11.080 sort of EMT or front
00:40:12.680 liner, or somebody who
00:40:13.740 is in the military.
00:40:15.020 What would you
00:40:15.880 recommend?
00:40:17.380 You know what?
00:40:18.420 For, first, well,
00:40:19.880 specifically law
00:40:20.660 enforcement, we've got
00:40:21.540 Behind the Badge, which
00:40:22.480 is by far the best-selling
00:40:23.660 book I have out.
00:40:24.620 Behind the Badge is
00:40:25.300 365 Daily Devotions for
00:40:27.040 Law Enforcement.
00:40:28.300 And we have one for
00:40:29.320 military and first
00:40:30.160 responders on spiritual
00:40:31.240 combat, a co-authored
00:40:32.320 by Lieutenant Colonel Dave
00:40:33.320 Grossman.
00:40:34.440 It is the absolute
00:40:36.240 essential handbook that
00:40:38.340 you need to understand
00:40:39.380 the source of everything
00:40:40.260 you see going on in the
00:40:41.200 world today.
00:40:42.260 And then the latest book
00:40:43.100 I co-authored with a
00:40:44.020 Force Recon Marine named
00:40:45.100 Chad Robichaud, called
00:40:46.340 Behind the Lines.
00:40:47.240 It's 365 Daily Challenges
00:40:49.000 for Military Personnel.
00:40:50.680 But we also have
00:40:51.760 Bulletproof Marriage, 90-
00:40:53.260 Day Devotion for Military and
00:40:55.040 First Responder of Married
00:40:55.880 Couples.
00:40:56.760 I co-authored with that
00:40:57.500 with Lieutenant Colonel Dave
00:40:58.400 Grossman.
00:40:58.860 Of course, you can find all
00:40:59.940 this on my website,
00:41:01.040 theadamdavis.com.
00:41:02.580 And we'd always love to hear
00:41:03.940 from your listeners and
00:41:05.720 connect with them in the
00:41:06.900 future.

00:41:11.120 those who are serving
