Transcript

00:00:00.120 The Blaze Radio Network, on demand.
00:00:06.000 Hi, it's Stu, along with Glenn Beck here.
00:00:08.040 Hi.
00:00:08.360 As we have a show that airs on 9-11.
00:00:12.260 We've done many of these now.
00:00:14.180 One of the first, a lot of people started listening to the radio show after 9-11 for the first time.
00:00:20.700 Well, we went national three days after 9-11.
00:00:23.600 We actually had a contract to take Dr. Laura's space with Premier Radio Networks.
00:00:32.780 On many of the East Coast stations.
00:00:35.540 And we were supposed to do that in January, like January 8th of 2002.
00:00:41.480 And September 11th happened.
00:00:43.380 They pushed it out.
00:00:44.560 The company called me on like Thursday and said, why aren't you doing your national show?
00:00:48.700 And I said, I thought that would be your call.
00:00:51.420 And I think our first national show was that following Monday.
00:00:55.480 I think you're right.
00:00:57.100 And a lot of people heard your voice for the first time around the country.
00:01:01.400 Sorry.
00:01:01.960 Yeah, that day.
00:01:04.060 So, you know, we go through a lot of that.
00:01:06.960 The show starts with something we've played every year for 17 years.
00:01:12.820 Taking you back to that moment, you'll hear a clip of Glenn talking on the radio on September 11th, 2001.
00:01:17.760 At that point, just locally in Tampa, as that went on.
00:01:21.720 We also have a great interview with Bob Beckwith.
00:01:25.240 He is the fireman who was next to George W. Bush when George W. Bush had the bullhorn moment, as kind of everybody remembers it.
00:01:34.880 You'll hear from him and his story is completely the opposite of what I thought it was.
00:01:40.480 Incredible.
00:01:40.860 And if I may, I'd like to end the podcast today with something that happened to me last night that is kind of a reminder that the postmodern movement is wrong, that words do have meaning.
00:01:56.300 On today's podcast.
00:01:57.680 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:02:10.300 It's Tuesday, September 11th.
00:02:13.640 Glenn Beck.
00:02:15.040 It's Tuesday, September 11th.
00:02:18.160 You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.
00:02:20.000 You're listening to the Glenn Beck.
00:02:50.000 Did you understand that transmission?
00:02:51.860 Yeah, that transmission, he said it was unreasonable.
00:02:53.720 It sounded like someone said they have a bomb on board.
00:02:56.240 Sir, did you hear the transmission?
00:02:57.600 Was that air probably just said he had a bomb on board?
00:02:59.500 He said there was a bomb on board.
00:03:02.700 That's what we thought.
00:03:03.480 We just, we didn't get it clear.
00:03:06.860 That aircraft, he can't get a hold of it.
00:03:08.200 Has he turned to the east now?
00:03:09.300 He's just turned to the east also.
00:03:11.980 956, we had a visual out of this standby.
00:03:14.140 Do you have a visual on him now?
00:03:15.720 We did, but we lost him at the turn.
00:03:17.340 If you can make a turn back to a 220 heading, let me know if you can see him.
00:03:20.060 We're making a turn at 950.
00:03:23.800 We just lost the target on that aircraft.
00:03:31.460 Man, Z100 852
00:03:36.740 Something weird is going on
00:03:39.080 The World Trade Center is on fire
00:03:41.880 Seriously, the top of the building
00:03:43.920 We're trying to get information
00:03:44.840 Top level of one of the
00:03:47.460 To unfold from New York
00:03:49.820 A plane crash
00:03:51.300 My sister's in that building
00:03:54.060 And I hope she's okay
00:03:55.520 And I gotta run to New York
00:03:56.640 Oh my god, it's complete pandemonium
00:03:58.680 First of all, calm down
00:03:59.620 There's raining papers and ashes
00:04:02.940 Oh my god, it was a huge explosion
00:04:22.440 People are jumping out the windows
00:04:26.120 A second plane has now flown in
00:04:31.900 Wait, explosion at the Pentagon?
00:04:33.140 A third location outside of New York
00:04:34.940 And outside of Washington
00:04:35.780 I don't have words to describe what I'm witnessing right now
00:04:39.440 Effective immediately until further notice
00:04:41.900 Flight operations in the national airspace system
00:04:44.480 By United States civil aircraft
00:04:46.400 And foreign civil and military aircraft
00:04:49.000 Are prohibited
00:04:49.740 Freedom itself was attacked this morning
00:04:52.920 By a faceless coward
00:04:54.740 And freedom will be defended
00:04:56.960 Oh my god
00:05:00.140 It just landed on Manhattan
00:05:02.660 Alright, so now we look back up to the TV
00:05:05.800 One of the World Trade Towers
00:05:07.360 Has collapsed and fallen
00:05:09.480 I've never seen anything like this
00:05:27.480 I've never seen anything like this
00:05:29.660 I've got five patients
00:05:36.360 They need to be
00:05:37.040 We've got an ambulance full of cops
00:05:38.260 And possessions
00:05:39.300 The building just collapsed
00:05:40.520 We don't have much more
00:05:42.020 We've got another tower
00:05:44.080 That just came down
00:05:44.980 Check that
00:05:45.460 Get all the cops away from the building
00:05:49.600 You've got a female officer down
00:05:52.980 Female officer, where are you now, King?
00:05:55.860 Where are you, King?
00:05:57.860 Where are you, King?
00:05:58.860 Where are you, King?
00:05:59.860 Where are you, King?
00:06:02.860 Where are you, King?
00:06:03.860 We're not going to be stopped
00:06:06.860 We're not going to be deterred
00:06:08.860 We're not going to stay at home
00:06:10.860 We're not going to be frightened
00:06:11.860 We're going to live our lives as Americans
00:06:14.860 I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America
00:06:19.860 We're all brothers
00:06:20.860 We've all got to stick together
00:06:22.860 We've all got to stick together.
00:06:31.860 My God, look at the skyline without the towers.
00:06:38.860 It is Tuesday, September 11th, 2001.
00:06:45.860 This is Glenn Beck.
00:06:49.860 Dateline, New York.
00:06:52.860 In one of the most audacious attacks ever, terrorists hijacked two airliners,
00:06:59.860 crashed them into the World Trade Center in a coordinated series of blows today
00:07:05.860 that brought down the twin 110-story towers.
00:07:11.860 Thousands may be dead, 58,000 people work at the World Trade Center.
00:07:18.860 Sean, it's me. I just wanted to let you know I love you and I'm stuck in this building.
00:07:23.860 A plane hit the building where mom went off.
00:07:25.860 We don't know, but there's lots of smoke and we just wanted you to know that I love you.
00:07:30.860 One plane, United Flight 93, crashed north of Somerset County Airport, a small airport 80 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.
00:07:43.860 United said that flight, calling 757, left New York at 801, and in for San Francisco with 38 feet.
00:07:56.860 That is the news of this day, September 11th, 2001.
00:08:09.860 The news of this day, September 11th, 2001.
00:08:22.860 Was that United 93.
00:08:25.860 Was that United 93 calling?
00:08:29.860 United 93.
00:08:32.860 United 93, United Niner 3.
00:08:41.860 United 93.
00:08:42.860 Was that United 93?
00:08:43.860 United 93.
00:08:45.860 People who were born around 9-11
00:08:53.700 are getting ready to vote for the very first time.
00:09:02.420 They don't remember an America that wasn't at war.
00:09:09.100 An America where Fox wasn't a powerhouse.
00:09:20.840 It wasn't us versus them.
00:09:29.800 Katie Couric was America's sweetheart.
00:09:33.260 Now most people don't even know who Katie Couric is.
00:09:41.640 It was a time before Matt Lauer was known as a predator.
00:09:50.960 Our home phones were still really our primary source of communication
00:09:55.140 and they were wired, usually on the wall in a kitchen.
00:10:01.180 There were no smartphones.
00:10:03.260 There were no text messages, no Facebook, Twitter, Instagram.
00:10:10.780 In fact, the largest social network in the history of the world
00:10:15.200 was still four years away.
00:10:21.920 And that social network was MySpace.
00:10:28.260 MySpace.
00:10:33.260 People who will be voting for the first time
00:10:37.320 don't remember a time before there was a TSA
00:10:41.900 being patted down at the airport.
00:10:45.660 The intrusions that are made with the people in the blue gloves and the blue shirts.
00:10:55.180 There was no homeland security.
00:10:59.800 There was no snooping that we knew of.
00:11:04.920 It was a time when it was rare to see amputations.
00:11:21.000 Robotic arms.
00:11:24.280 Robotic legs.
00:11:25.240 Feet and legs that have been replaced by a blade or a ski.
00:11:32.940 I don't even know what they are.
00:11:41.480 Before September 11th,
00:11:43.880 most people didn't really have a strong opinion on Islam.
00:11:48.920 They didn't even know what it was.
00:11:55.880 Nobody knew who Osama bin Laden was.
00:11:58.220 There was a time
00:12:07.180 so long ago now
00:12:11.040 where 21 soldiers
00:12:17.700 at best
00:12:19.360 killed themselves every day.
00:12:26.280 They killed themselves every day.
00:12:28.220 There was a time
00:12:39.920 before words were meaningless.
00:12:45.060 There was a time
00:12:46.740 when we could come together.
00:12:49.500 There was a time
00:12:53.740 when truth and justice
00:12:58.880 meant the American way.
00:13:07.200 And then September 11th happened
00:13:09.260 on a beautiful
00:13:14.700 Tuesday morning.
00:13:16.080 We woke up for a moment.
00:13:27.400 And then we went back to sleep.
00:13:29.360 But the good news is
00:13:34.200 we are as individuals
00:13:37.340 should we choose
00:13:38.480 stronger because of it
00:13:40.940 more wise.
00:13:43.700 We know
00:13:44.700 what our country is
00:13:46.220 what our country has done
00:13:47.480 what our country can do
00:13:49.840 who we are
00:13:51.580 as a people
00:13:52.500 who we hope to be
00:13:54.840 who we wish to be.
00:13:58.740 We're bogged down
00:14:00.260 in the smoke
00:14:02.200 and the dust
00:14:03.320 of all the old lies
00:14:05.240 coming down
00:14:06.540 tower after tower.
00:14:08.580 But should we choose
00:14:17.160 that dust will settle
00:14:19.280 and we can clean
00:14:21.980 ourselves up
00:14:23.320 and reunite.
00:14:26.220 because it's not
00:14:30.260 September 11th
00:14:31.640 that
00:14:33.440 is the memory
00:14:35.980 we choose.
00:14:38.860 It's September 12th
00:14:40.980 the day after.
00:14:43.960 That's the memory
00:14:45.360 that all of us
00:14:47.300 wish we could relive
00:14:50.180 over and over
00:14:51.300 and over again.
00:14:52.240 All of us
00:14:52.840 Republicans and Democrats
00:14:54.280 because that was the day
00:14:57.740 we came together
00:14:59.980 not with our fist
00:15:01.700 raised in our hand
00:15:03.340 fist raised in the air
00:15:06.680 but our hand
00:15:08.080 down
00:15:08.940 with palm open
00:15:10.580 willing to share
00:15:12.180 willing to help
00:15:13.380 willing
00:15:14.020 to lift up.
00:15:15.480 We thought it would be
00:15:15.980 really fascinating today
00:15:17.420 to give you
00:15:18.420 three perspectives
00:15:19.440 that you haven't heard before.
00:15:22.040 One of them
00:15:23.000 is from a guy
00:15:24.220 named Bob Beckwith.
00:15:25.720 You might remember Bob.
00:15:27.000 He was the
00:15:28.020 firefighter
00:15:29.040 that stood
00:15:29.880 next to George W. Bush
00:15:31.960 on the fire truck
00:15:33.680 and the famous
00:15:34.520 bullhorn speech
00:15:35.420 that George Bush gave.
00:15:36.980 I've kind of made
00:15:37.920 this deal with myself
00:15:39.220 that I'm not going to
00:15:39.940 spend another day
00:15:41.060 where I have access
00:15:43.060 to people
00:15:43.660 who have witnessed history
00:15:44.820 and not talked to them.
00:15:47.060 Bob is now
00:15:47.880 in his what 80s?
00:15:49.880 And we called him up
00:15:51.880 and said Bob
00:15:52.580 can you tell us
00:15:53.560 can you tell us
00:15:54.600 about that experience
00:15:55.300 and what happened?
00:15:56.660 He told us
00:15:57.580 the most amazing story
00:15:58.940 that we have
00:16:00.420 we've never heard
00:16:01.620 any place else
00:16:02.840 and I don't know why
00:16:04.000 because it is
00:16:04.660 a fascinating story.
00:16:06.100 He's coming up
00:16:06.980 in hour number three.
00:16:08.380 Also we thought
00:16:09.220 we would spend time
00:16:09.940 with two people
00:16:10.840 with very different
00:16:11.900 perspective.
00:16:12.680 One was on the
00:16:13.740 other side of the planet
00:16:14.880 and actually saw it
00:16:16.780 happen
00:16:17.520 in a bar
00:16:18.880 on television
00:16:19.760 but thought
00:16:20.480 it was just
00:16:21.240 a bad movie
00:16:22.340 and the other
00:16:24.440 was 20 blocks away
00:16:26.080 and watched it fall.
00:16:28.820 We want to welcome
00:16:29.420 to the program
00:16:30.520 Jason Patril
00:16:31.720 and also
00:16:32.960 Riaz Patel.
00:16:34.860 How are you Riaz?
00:16:35.460 We're all laughing
00:16:36.000 because we just
00:16:36.500 corrected you on our names
00:16:37.740 and now you're
00:16:38.280 very self-conscious.
00:16:40.440 I've known you guys
00:16:41.380 forever
00:16:41.900 and I can never
00:16:42.860 get your pronunciation
00:16:44.200 right now.
00:16:44.960 I never will.
00:16:45.680 To be clear
00:16:46.100 he went one for two there.
00:16:48.300 Patel and Buttrell.
00:16:49.400 Buttrell.
00:16:50.520 Jason Buttrell.
00:16:51.340 How are you?
00:16:54.440 Jason
00:16:54.880 you were actually
00:16:56.820 in the military
00:16:57.760 and you were on
00:17:00.700 shore leave.
00:17:01.540 Yep.
00:17:02.000 Where?
00:17:03.020 Darwin, Australia
00:17:04.020 which was like
00:17:05.180 a crazy bucket list
00:17:06.520 item for anybody
00:17:07.580 that's in the military.
00:17:08.220 Well I guess
00:17:08.580 really anybody
00:17:09.320 really wants to go
00:17:10.080 to Australia.
00:17:10.900 But like
00:17:11.680 you gotta think
00:17:12.340 about the time.
00:17:13.160 It was peace time.
00:17:14.460 You know like
00:17:14.740 all of us
00:17:15.360 that joined the military
00:17:15.980 were doing it
00:17:16.720 probably to pay
00:17:17.580 for college.
00:17:18.580 Like there was
00:17:18.980 no wars breaking out.
00:17:20.240 There was no sign
00:17:21.060 that it wasn't like now.
00:17:22.440 Like now you pretty much
00:17:23.500 expect if you go
00:17:24.500 into the military
00:17:24.980 you're probably
00:17:25.360 going to see combat.
00:17:26.160 But that was not 2001.
00:17:28.200 That was definitely
00:17:28.880 not then.
00:17:29.520 No we hadn't seen
00:17:30.140 combat really
00:17:31.520 since the Gulf War.
00:17:32.780 And even then
00:17:33.460 it was over so fast.
00:17:34.720 Yeah.
00:17:35.000 You know and it's
00:17:35.480 just over with.
00:17:36.440 But so that was
00:17:37.240 our mindset.
00:17:37.980 So like we were
00:17:38.500 our deployment schedule
00:17:39.480 was basically
00:17:40.020 just like a big
00:17:40.580 vacation schedule.
00:17:41.400 You go and do
00:17:42.240 a quick little
00:17:42.800 you know
00:17:43.320 you know exercise
00:17:44.180 which we were doing
00:17:44.920 with the Australian Marines
00:17:46.240 and but no one
00:17:47.800 really cared about that.
00:17:48.640 We were just going out
00:17:49.240 and having fun
00:17:49.760 in Australia.
00:17:50.960 But so that was
00:17:52.320 that was the day
00:17:53.560 of September 11th
00:17:54.520 was crazy.
00:17:55.280 So like they let out
00:17:56.040 everybody off the boats.
00:17:57.420 We hit you know
00:17:58.300 and you can imagine
00:17:58.980 if you've been cooped up
00:17:59.800 on a ship for two
00:18:00.640 or three weeks
00:18:01.300 you are ready
00:18:02.100 to have some fun.
00:18:03.200 So we ran out
00:18:04.260 sightseeing all day long.
00:18:06.680 None of us had a clue
00:18:07.840 about what was going
00:18:08.660 to happen that night.
00:18:09.960 Because we were still
00:18:10.600 asleep.
00:18:11.700 Yeah that's right.
00:18:12.220 So it was like yeah
00:18:12.840 it was during the daytime
00:18:13.740 towards the end of the night
00:18:15.440 I guess it was
00:18:16.440 probably morning
00:18:17.300 or I don't even know
00:18:18.300 what time the actual
00:18:19.120 planes hit.
00:18:20.640 9, 8.50
00:18:22.300 something like that.
00:18:23.080 8.30.
00:18:23.760 9.02.
00:18:24.540 Yeah something like that.
00:18:25.360 Okay so we're winding
00:18:26.340 down our shore leave.
00:18:27.480 It's supposed to end
00:18:28.040 that night around 11
00:18:28.940 or 12 a.m.
00:18:30.840 I think that night.
00:18:31.700 So we're taking it
00:18:32.700 all you know in.
00:18:34.100 We're taking it
00:18:34.820 as much as we can.
00:18:35.860 We're soaking it all in.
00:18:36.880 I'm sitting at a sports bar.
00:18:38.720 Tons of Marines
00:18:39.440 tons of sailors
00:18:40.500 all over the streets
00:18:42.020 there's fights breaking out.
00:18:43.840 You can imagine how it is.
00:18:44.880 It's not very pretty.
00:18:46.640 So I glance over my shoulder
00:18:48.400 and I see what looks like
00:18:49.920 a bad Australian movie.
00:18:51.460 There's one of the towers
00:18:52.440 that's on fire.
00:18:53.280 I didn't even think
00:18:54.020 I connected it
00:18:54.700 to the World Trade Center
00:18:55.460 at the time.
00:18:56.320 I looked over
00:18:56.860 saw it
00:18:57.540 kept on having
00:18:59.160 a conversation
00:18:59.760 drinking my last beer
00:19:01.060 of shore leave
00:19:01.620 before we go back on ship.
00:19:03.660 And things started
00:19:06.020 getting a little bit crazy
00:19:06.900 maybe about an hour later.
00:19:08.540 A lot of commotion
00:19:09.180 out in the streets.
00:19:09.900 Tons of commotion.
00:19:10.580 You're screaming.
00:19:11.580 Everyone's freaking out.
00:19:12.460 I think more fights
00:19:13.180 are breaking out.
00:19:13.740 Stupid Marines.
00:19:15.600 That all changed
00:19:16.740 maybe about 15 minutes later
00:19:18.240 when all the military police
00:19:20.540 and the Marines on duty
00:19:21.740 and the Navy people on duty
00:19:25.220 came out
00:19:25.860 started
00:19:26.340 stopped all the music
00:19:28.020 like everyone
00:19:28.860 now
00:19:29.540 get to van
00:19:30.580 get to the vans
00:19:31.220 we have parked outside.
00:19:32.060 If there's overflow
00:19:32.700 get in a taxi cab
00:19:33.980 it's on you to make it out
00:19:34.920 because we are pulling out
00:19:35.880 in about 60 minutes.
00:19:37.740 Which was nothing
00:19:38.640 you had ever seen before.
00:19:39.980 No.
00:19:40.840 When you're in the military
00:19:41.920 sometimes they want
00:19:42.900 to test you to see
00:19:43.600 if you could be
00:19:43.980 a conscientious objector
00:19:45.040 and they want to see
00:19:45.900 like they'll trick you
00:19:46.760 into thinking
00:19:47.160 an attack happened.
00:19:48.360 Some of us thought
00:19:48.900 that's what was happening.
00:19:49.960 Like well this is just
00:19:50.500 an exercise.
00:19:51.220 Elaborate.
00:19:51.740 So you get into the van
00:19:52.780 you get to the ship
00:19:53.740 and what happens next?
00:19:55.880 Fox is you know
00:19:57.280 doing a compilation
00:19:57.960 of all the film
00:19:58.800 from 9-11
00:20:00.140 and Bob Beckwith
00:20:01.400 that firefighter
00:20:02.740 that we're going
00:20:04.460 to be speaking to
00:20:05.140 here in about two hours
00:20:06.260 you know
00:20:07.820 that was standing
00:20:08.240 next to George Bush
00:20:09.100 with the bullhorn
00:20:09.720 is up there
00:20:10.540 and we're all laughing
00:20:12.160 now going
00:20:12.800 how
00:20:13.160 how
00:20:13.540 we look at that
00:20:16.020 that video now
00:20:17.000 and you will too
00:20:17.800 in completely different ways.
00:20:20.060 We're like
00:20:20.500 he was afraid
00:20:21.680 of getting caught.
00:20:22.840 It's a fascinating story.
00:20:24.500 17 years
00:20:25.320 I thought about that.
00:20:26.020 I thought he ran
00:20:26.680 the entire recovery
00:20:27.740 operation down there.
00:20:28.660 That's why I thought
00:20:29.100 he was up there.
00:20:29.760 Wait until you hear
00:20:30.620 totally different.
00:20:31.400 Wait until you hear
00:20:32.020 the story.
00:20:32.540 It's amazing.
00:20:33.240 Okay so we were
00:20:33.920 with Jason.
00:20:34.720 He was in Australia
00:20:36.200 and you were
00:20:39.180 an enlisted guy.
00:20:40.860 This is
00:20:41.100 you joined
00:20:41.960 you know
00:20:42.820 get an education
00:20:44.140 go have some fun
00:20:45.220 and all of a sudden
00:20:47.940 you're being jammed
00:20:50.160 into a van
00:20:51.440 in the middle
00:20:51.920 of the night.
00:20:53.120 You've seen
00:20:53.760 the World Trade Center
00:20:54.620 on fire
00:20:55.620 but you thought
00:20:56.680 it was just
00:20:57.100 a bad Australian movie.
00:20:58.700 Right.
00:20:58.940 I'm still not
00:20:59.720 connecting anything
00:21:00.480 to that really
00:21:01.300 because we like
00:21:01.960 we were talking
00:21:02.480 in the break
00:21:03.000 how sometimes
00:21:03.560 they try
00:21:04.120 and do little tricks
00:21:04.860 on you to see
00:21:05.260 if you're a
00:21:05.540 conscientious objector
00:21:06.960 because literally
00:21:08.100 that was the time
00:21:08.820 we were in.
00:21:09.580 You know
00:21:09.720 the people
00:21:10.220 did not really join
00:21:11.180 because they thought
00:21:11.720 they were going
00:21:12.040 to combat.
00:21:12.740 It just was
00:21:13.180 that was not
00:21:13.860 the state of mind
00:21:14.640 during that time.
00:21:15.520 You went for
00:21:15.980 college education
00:21:16.880 or
00:21:17.160 Right.
00:21:17.920 Yeah.
00:21:18.760 But so we're
00:21:19.920 in the vans
00:21:21.220 and we're heading on
00:21:21.800 and there's a sergeant
00:21:22.860 that's in the
00:21:23.400 passenger seat
00:21:24.140 riding shotgun
00:21:24.700 and I'm like
00:21:25.440 sergeant
00:21:25.640 what's going on?
00:21:27.020 And he's like
00:21:27.780 well I don't know
00:21:28.700 fully myself
00:21:29.780 but thousands
00:21:30.680 of Americans
00:21:31.220 have just died
00:21:32.020 the United States
00:21:32.940 is under attack
00:21:33.700 and that's all I know.
00:21:35.580 And really
00:21:36.180 you're just like
00:21:36.720 I mean it was
00:21:37.160 it was like a gut punch
00:21:38.040 we're like what?
00:21:39.140 I mean I still
00:21:39.740 it's like is this real?
00:21:41.460 So we get back
00:21:41.980 to the ship
00:21:43.440 and it looks like
00:21:46.000 one of those
00:21:46.680 World War II movies
00:21:47.600 where there's just
00:21:48.460 hundreds and hundreds
00:21:49.440 of people getting
00:21:50.200 on the boats
00:21:50.700 because everyone's
00:21:51.420 getting on en masse
00:21:52.340 What kind of ship
00:21:52.760 were you on?
00:21:53.620 It was a
00:21:54.220 I think it's called
00:21:54.960 an LHA
00:21:55.460 so it looks like
00:21:56.480 an aircraft carrier
00:21:57.380 but it's a little bit
00:21:58.540 smaller than that
00:21:59.080 because it's for helicopters
00:21:59.780 so mostly just tons
00:22:01.960 of Marines
00:22:02.340 and tons of pilots
00:22:03.020 on this thing
00:22:03.520 so I hit the ship
00:22:05.220 first thing I went
00:22:06.080 was straight to the skiff
00:22:07.040 which is the place
00:22:08.520 where all the
00:22:08.800 classified information
00:22:10.100 goes into
00:22:10.400 Because you were
00:22:10.940 in intelligence
00:22:12.100 Right
00:22:12.440 and I went in there
00:22:13.960 I barely was able
00:22:15.180 to squeeze in
00:22:15.920 the captain of the ship
00:22:17.180 was there
00:22:17.640 everyone's there
00:22:18.520 This is the kind of room
00:22:19.700 that you need a combination
00:22:20.800 to get into the
00:22:22.060 into the room
00:22:22.900 It's one of those
00:22:23.540 you see them in the movies
00:22:24.300 where it's all red light
00:22:25.360 all red lights
00:22:26.340 Right
00:22:26.540 Go inside there
00:22:28.860 I barely was able
00:22:29.840 to squeeze in
00:22:30.540 instantly got kicked out
00:22:31.820 but I was able
00:22:32.360 to confirm that yes
00:22:33.420 the attack
00:22:34.000 on the Twin Towers
00:22:34.800 happened
00:22:35.240 they were tracking
00:22:36.320 everything
00:22:36.840 going on
00:22:37.380 at the Pentagon
00:22:37.780 everything
00:22:38.520 and I was like
00:22:39.560 oh my gosh
00:22:40.500 this is insane
00:22:41.300 I got kicked out
00:22:43.100 because I was
00:22:43.620 a very little man
00:22:44.200 on the totem pole
00:22:44.840 and went out
00:22:45.980 to go find my buddies
00:22:46.720 we were just starting
00:22:47.920 to push off
00:22:48.640 and something that I noticed
00:22:50.000 it's weird
00:22:51.140 the things you notice
00:22:51.840 it really have an impact
00:22:53.300 but we were always told
00:22:54.640 that you never see
00:22:55.700 the Navy manning
00:22:56.380 their big .50 cal machine guns
00:22:57.760 on the side of the boats
00:22:58.840 that just doesn't happen
00:22:59.560 unless they're going
00:23:00.180 through like the Persian Gulf
00:23:01.020 or something like that
00:23:02.000 well they were
00:23:03.340 the covers were off
00:23:04.640 the guns
00:23:05.440 they were manning them
00:23:06.680 the kids look scared
00:23:07.720 I remember
00:23:08.720 I'd never forget
00:23:09.360 the looks on some of their faces
00:23:10.420 their kids are like
00:23:11.080 18, 19 years old
00:23:12.300 and they're manning
00:23:13.220 these guns
00:23:13.640 not knowing what's going on
00:23:14.620 because at this point
00:23:15.340 only a select few people
00:23:16.620 know what's going on
00:23:17.480 at that point
00:23:17.920 so they have no idea
00:23:19.180 there's rumors
00:23:20.080 that we've been attacked
00:23:20.940 that's all everyone knows
00:23:22.220 at this point
00:23:22.760 but they're manning
00:23:23.680 these guns fully loaded
00:23:25.140 and we're pushing out
00:23:26.120 we're like
00:23:26.400 what is going on
00:23:27.620 so a couple hours later
00:23:29.840 everyone that's not on duty
00:23:31.280 gets called up
00:23:31.880 to the flight deck
00:23:32.520 and you know
00:23:33.980 it's your typical
00:23:34.520 like top gun scene
00:23:35.780 you know
00:23:36.020 everyone's up on the flight deck
00:23:37.240 we're all in formation
00:23:38.100 and I to this day
00:23:39.840 I cannot remember
00:23:40.540 what the captain
00:23:41.060 of the ship said
00:23:41.660 I have no recollection
00:23:42.700 of what he said at all
00:23:43.700 I think we were just
00:23:44.560 kind of just dazed
00:23:45.860 but I'll never forget
00:23:47.040 what the colonel
00:23:47.880 of the marine expeditionary unit said
00:23:49.740 full bird colonel
00:23:51.180 has us all
00:23:51.840 you know information
00:23:52.760 and it was very short
00:23:54.780 very sweet
00:23:55.560 and to the point
00:23:56.140 but it was something
00:23:56.980 along the lines of this
00:23:58.060 he said men
00:23:58.660 my father
00:24:00.240 and your grandfather's
00:24:02.100 day of infamy
00:24:02.760 was December 7th 1941
00:24:04.500 I remember he stopped
00:24:06.180 kind of collected himself
00:24:07.160 and he was like
00:24:08.440 that's in the history books
00:24:09.720 but that is their history
00:24:11.240 our day of infamy
00:24:13.240 will forever be known
00:24:14.400 as September 11th 2001
00:24:17.340 he said
00:24:18.780 men we've been attacked
00:24:19.960 we're going to war
00:24:21.600 and we're supposed
00:24:24.280 to not say anything
00:24:25.360 during those formations
00:24:26.520 but everybody
00:24:27.780 elated
00:24:29.300 everyone's
00:24:30.160 you know
00:24:30.500 it was basically
00:24:31.400 a roar
00:24:33.240 basically
00:24:33.820 is the best way
00:24:34.480 to describe it
00:24:35.120 everyone was pissed off
00:24:37.080 it was confirmed
00:24:39.000 it all hit home
00:24:40.140 at that point
00:24:40.700 that this is very real
00:24:41.920 what we've been training for
00:24:43.440 the reason why
00:24:44.200 we joined the military
00:24:44.960 was not to
00:24:45.980 you know
00:24:47.080 get our colleges
00:24:47.760 paid for
00:24:48.220 it was to protect
00:24:48.600 our country
00:24:49.060 and it was a weird feeling
00:24:51.480 it was you know
00:24:52.140 we were all mad
00:24:53.400 but we were all disappointed
00:24:54.500 there's a feeling of
00:24:55.640 this was our watch
00:24:56.860 this happened
00:24:57.440 under our watch
00:24:58.500 so what are you
00:24:59.340 going to do about it
00:25:00.140 well
00:25:01.000 brief humanitarian stint
00:25:03.800 in East Timor
00:25:04.500 that we did
00:25:05.040 from there
00:25:05.540 we immediately went off
00:25:06.720 to the coast of Pakistan
00:25:07.820 from there
00:25:09.440 we stayed in Pakistan
00:25:10.660 for about a month
00:25:11.400 this all went
00:25:11.940 very very quickly
00:25:12.780 so I had no idea
00:25:13.940 what was going on
00:25:14.520 back home
00:25:15.020 everything going on
00:25:15.920 but we were invading
00:25:16.860 Afghanistan
00:25:17.420 within just a couple
00:25:18.360 months later
00:25:18.960 this is the best
00:25:22.720 of the Glenn Beck program
00:25:23.940 when I was a
00:25:35.280 when I was a teenager
00:25:38.540 my mother died
00:25:39.360 right after that
00:25:43.200 my grandfather died
00:25:44.200 and then I moved
00:25:50.540 away from home
00:25:51.280 and I learned
00:25:54.920 not to deal
00:26:00.500 with things
00:26:01.100 as a recovering
00:26:06.200 alcoholic
00:26:06.600 I have dealt
00:26:07.580 with many
00:26:09.020 of my demons
00:26:10.220 but one
00:26:11.520 I have not
00:26:13.840 been able
00:26:14.260 to shake
00:26:14.880 to my shame
00:26:20.300 has been
00:26:22.900 hide from those
00:26:30.600 who you love
00:26:31.920 that you are losing
00:26:34.460 or have lost
00:26:35.780 and move on
00:26:39.760 last night
00:26:48.440 I went
00:26:48.760 home
00:26:49.860 and I was
00:26:50.260 just so
00:26:51.040 beat tired
00:26:52.040 and the phone
00:26:54.320 rang
00:26:54.580 and it was
00:26:56.920 a
00:26:57.320 wife
00:26:59.240 of a dear
00:26:59.680 friend
00:27:00.120 who has
00:27:03.580 cancer
00:27:04.100 and they
00:27:05.820 didn't know
00:27:06.280 if he would
00:27:06.680 make it
00:27:07.180 through the
00:27:09.600 night
00:27:09.900 he's battled
00:27:15.700 cancer for
00:27:16.460 years
00:27:17.700 he is a
00:27:18.660 spiritual giant
00:27:20.520 for the last
00:27:27.360 few weeks
00:27:27.860 I have
00:27:28.300 wanted to be
00:27:28.860 there
00:27:29.180 with everything
00:27:29.960 in me
00:27:30.480 and
00:27:31.900 everything
00:27:33.120 in me
00:27:33.840 at the same
00:27:36.320 time has
00:27:37.060 told me to
00:27:40.860 stay away
00:27:41.400 or
00:27:41.720 tomorrow
00:27:42.900 I
00:27:50.280 drove to
00:27:51.180 his house
00:27:51.540 last night
00:27:52.020 and I
00:27:52.400 my legs
00:27:53.840 were like
00:27:54.300 lead
00:27:54.720 as I
00:27:55.120 walked up
00:27:56.460 his
00:27:57.320 pathway
00:27:58.460 to his
00:27:59.100 house
00:27:59.600 hand in
00:28:00.600 hand
00:28:00.880 with my
00:28:01.300 wife
00:28:01.700 I went
00:28:06.820 into his
00:28:07.180 bedroom
00:28:07.560 his eyes
00:28:12.000 opened
00:28:12.360 and
00:28:12.600 he saw
00:28:14.580 me
00:28:14.880 and
00:28:15.120 tried
00:28:17.820 to smile
00:28:18.420 tried to
00:28:19.020 speak
00:28:19.380 but couldn't
00:28:20.320 I knelt
00:28:24.400 by his
00:28:24.860 bedside
00:28:25.340 last night
00:28:25.880 holding his
00:28:26.420 hand
00:28:26.820 I am
00:28:33.040 a
00:28:33.260 as you
00:28:34.580 can imagine
00:28:35.100 I'm
00:28:35.380 sometimes
00:28:35.900 a sloppy
00:28:36.680 crier
00:28:37.260 sometimes
00:28:37.880 I get
00:28:38.520 and I
00:28:39.140 think
00:28:39.300 we've
00:28:39.560 all
00:28:39.840 had
00:28:40.180 this
00:28:40.420 where
00:28:40.740 it's
00:28:41.840 that
00:28:42.020 ugly
00:28:42.300 cry
00:28:42.780 to
00:28:43.060 where
00:28:43.280 if
00:28:43.480 you
00:28:43.660 speak
00:28:44.100 you're
00:28:44.320 going to
00:28:44.500 blow
00:28:44.680 snot
00:28:45.180 all over
00:28:45.660 yourself
00:28:46.060 and it's
00:28:46.720 just
00:28:46.980 going to
00:28:47.280 be
00:28:47.460 ugly
00:28:47.880 I held
00:28:55.740 his
00:28:55.920 frail
00:28:56.260 hand
00:28:56.680 and for
00:29:00.720 20 minutes
00:29:01.420 I said
00:29:03.000 nothing
00:29:03.360 because
00:29:03.880 I was
00:29:04.360 unable
00:29:04.780 to
00:29:05.340 speak
00:29:05.700 he
00:29:07.960 was
00:29:08.320 so
00:29:09.480 weak
00:29:09.860 and
00:29:12.120 all
00:29:12.320 I
00:29:12.460 could
00:29:12.600 think
00:29:12.900 of
00:29:13.480 was
00:29:19.580 you
00:29:19.740 cannot
00:29:20.080 leave
00:29:20.580 here
00:29:20.980 without
00:29:23.700 saying
00:29:24.240 this
00:29:24.580 it was
00:29:29.160 nine
00:29:29.540 words
00:29:30.080 for
00:29:38.160 20
00:29:38.520 minutes
00:29:38.860 I
00:29:39.040 struggled
00:29:39.420 to
00:29:39.660 say
00:29:40.120 nine
00:29:41.240 words
00:29:45.280 I
00:29:56.700 thought
00:29:56.920 he
00:29:57.040 was
00:29:57.220 sleeping
00:29:57.740 and
00:30:05.400 I
00:30:05.540 had
00:30:05.720 composed
00:30:06.280 myself
00:30:06.860 enough
00:30:07.420 to
00:30:08.600 where
00:30:08.800 I
00:30:08.960 thought
00:30:09.120 I
00:30:09.260 could
00:30:09.400 get
00:30:09.600 those
00:30:09.840 nine
00:30:10.180 words
00:30:10.500 out
00:30:10.800 and
00:30:14.300 I
00:30:14.440 did
00:30:14.760 first
00:30:17.080 the
00:30:17.300 first
00:30:17.660 four
00:30:18.140 and
00:30:22.380 then
00:30:22.520 the
00:30:22.660 remaining
00:30:23.000 five
00:30:23.640 he
00:30:29.100 moaned
00:30:29.640 and
00:30:30.960 he
00:30:31.100 squeezed
00:30:31.520 my
00:30:31.820 hand
00:30:32.260 as
00:30:32.800 tightly
00:30:33.400 as
00:30:33.700 he
00:30:33.880 could
00:30:34.180 and
00:30:40.800 it
00:30:41.160 took
00:30:41.400 him
00:30:41.600 about
00:30:41.960 five
00:30:43.100 minutes
00:30:43.560 as
00:30:46.540 he
00:30:46.920 breathed
00:30:50.040 deeply
00:30:58.640 to
00:31:01.320 respond
00:31:02.040 and
00:31:02.420 say
00:31:02.940 the
00:31:05.100 three
00:31:05.400 words
00:31:05.880 he
00:31:06.860 needed
00:31:07.160 to
00:31:07.420 say
00:31:07.720 they
00:31:26.900 were
00:31:27.020 the
00:31:27.180 three
00:31:27.460 words
00:31:27.940 that
00:31:38.200 mean
00:31:38.480 everything
00:31:39.020 this
00:31:45.400 morning
00:31:45.700 I
00:31:45.900 got
00:31:46.100 up
00:31:46.420 I
00:31:47.340 started
00:31:47.620 looking
00:31:47.900 at
00:31:48.140 the
00:31:48.360 news
00:31:48.940 I
00:31:53.360 started
00:31:53.660 reading
00:31:53.980 the
00:31:54.200 stories
00:31:54.620 in a
00:31:55.720 world
00:31:56.040 that is
00:31:56.980 teaching
00:31:57.280 us
00:31:57.580 that
00:31:57.740 words
00:31:58.100 are
00:31:58.320 meaningless
00:31:58.860 or
00:32:04.160 have
00:32:04.520 or
00:32:06.260 have
00:32:06.500 for
00:32:06.700 power
00:32:07.180 purposes
00:32:07.960 words
00:32:11.740 meanings
00:32:12.140 have been
00:32:12.540 changed
00:32:13.180 or those
00:32:15.040 words
00:32:15.340 have been
00:32:15.640 thrown
00:32:15.960 around
00:32:16.380 so much
00:32:17.000 they
00:32:17.340 have
00:32:17.680 become
00:32:18.080 meaningless
00:32:18.580 but

00:32:36.140 have
00:32:36.320 the
00:32:37.020 power
00:32:37.360 to
00:32:37.640 create
00:32:38.260 the
00:32:49.700 power
00:32:50.000 to
00:32:50.340 lift
00:32:51.480 up
00:32:51.800 or
00:32:54.760 the
00:32:54.860 power
00:32:55.260 to
00:32:55.560 destroy
00:32:56.200 while

00:34:33.340 fascinating
00:34:33.940 person I want to
00:34:36.820 introduce you to
00:34:37.500 her name is
00:34:38.440 Heather
00:34:38.720 McDonald
00:34:39.180 and she
00:34:40.220 is a
00:34:40.540 fellow at
00:34:40.880 the
00:34:41.000 Manhattan
00:34:41.360 Institute
00:34:41.900 and she's
00:34:42.880 she's written
00:34:43.520 for just
00:34:44.060 about
00:34:44.320 everybody
00:34:44.840 and she's
00:34:46.920 seen
00:34:47.180 something that
00:34:47.840 she finds
00:34:48.440 really
00:34:48.820 disturbing
00:34:49.400 and she's
00:34:50.000 put it
00:34:50.240 together in
00:34:50.620 a new
00:34:50.820 book
00:34:50.980 called
00:34:51.140 the
00:34:51.280 diversity
00:34:51.780 delusion
00:34:52.580 how
00:34:53.420 race
00:34:53.720 and
00:34:53.880 gender
00:34:54.100 pandering
00:34:54.720 corrupt
00:34:55.240 the
00:34:55.720 university
00:34:56.860 and
00:34:57.220 undermine
00:34:57.660 our
00:34:58.040 culture
00:34:58.380 and
00:34:58.660 it
00:34:58.780 is
00:34:59.020 what
00:34:59.280 we're
00:34:59.620 all
00:34:59.920 feeling
00:35:00.360 now
00:35:00.980 and
00:35:02.060 it's
00:35:02.280 appropriate
00:35:02.680 that you're
00:35:03.060 here today
00:35:03.500 because
00:35:03.840 it's all
00:35:04.480 about
00:35:04.700 words
00:35:05.000 having
00:35:05.260 meaning
00:35:05.620 hello
00:35:06.040 Heather
00:35:06.280 how are
00:35:06.620 you
00:35:07.320 well
00:35:07.680 thanks
00:35:07.940 for having
00:35:08.200 me on
00:35:08.480 Glenn
00:35:08.660 I greatly
00:35:09.020 appreciate
00:35:09.380 it
00:35:09.640 sure
00:35:09.940 so
00:35:10.880 you know
00:35:12.380 I've
00:35:12.720 I've
00:35:13.020 just
00:35:13.320 my book
00:35:14.140 comes out
00:35:14.520 next week
00:35:15.080 and
00:35:15.400 it
00:35:15.840 it
00:35:16.280 really
00:35:16.600 revolves
00:35:17.060 around
00:35:17.340 the idea
00:35:18.040 of
00:35:18.540 postmodernism
00:35:19.560 that
00:35:19.820 most people
00:35:20.720 don't
00:35:21.160 even
00:35:21.440 understand
00:35:22.040 and
00:35:22.700 it's
00:35:22.880 what's
00:35:23.080 being
00:35:23.260 spoon
00:35:23.800 fed
00:35:24.240 to
00:35:25.040 our
00:35:25.560 children
00:35:26.200 in
00:35:26.860 universities
00:35:27.640 and
00:35:28.300 they
00:35:28.480 come
00:35:28.660 home
00:35:29.020 and
00:35:29.160 they
00:35:29.300 speak
00:35:29.560 a
00:35:29.680 different
00:35:29.880 language
00:35:30.280 and
00:35:30.600 we're
00:35:30.740 just
00:35:30.920 like
00:35:31.060 oh
00:35:31.240 that's
00:35:31.500 crazy
00:35:31.880 but
00:35:32.140 it's
00:35:32.460 not
00:35:32.780 it's
00:35:33.080 really
00:35:33.740 powerful
00:35:34.360 can
00:35:35.180 can
00:35:35.200 can
00:35:35.220 you
00:35:35.300 get
00:35:35.460 into
00:35:35.820 you
00:35:36.920 know
00:35:37.040 how
00:35:37.200 you
00:35:37.400 define
00:35:37.720 it
00:35:37.900 and
00:35:38.080 what
00:35:38.480 you're
00:35:38.660 seeing
00:35:38.960 well
00:35:40.280 that's
00:35:41.200 absolutely
00:35:41.760 right
00:35:42.240 what
00:35:42.520 you're
00:35:42.700 saying
00:35:43.020 Glenn
00:35:43.340 the
00:35:43.680 public
00:35:44.160 has
00:35:44.360 had
00:35:44.560 a
00:35:44.740 tendency
00:35:45.220 to
00:35:46.200 laugh
00:35:46.620 off
00:35:47.100 the
00:35:48.080 counter
00:35:48.900 intuitive
00:35:49.540 counterfactual
00:35:50.760 delusional
00:35:51.580 ideology
00:35:52.320 that's
00:35:52.740 coming out
00:35:53.240 of the
00:35:53.500 universities
00:35:54.100 that holds
00:35:55.300 that there's
00:35:55.720 no differences
00:35:56.360 between
00:35:56.860 males
00:35:57.200 and females
00:35:57.980 that
00:35:58.740 America
00:35:59.280 is
00:35:59.560 endemically
00:36:00.160 racist
00:36:00.700 and
00:36:00.940 sexist
00:36:01.700 that
00:36:02.260 any
00:36:02.660 differences
00:36:03.260 in
00:36:03.540 representation
00:36:04.140 in groups
00:36:05.720 must be
00:36:06.220 the result
00:36:06.660 of bias
00:36:07.320 rather than
00:36:07.920 different
00:36:08.700 inclinations
00:36:09.500 different habits
00:36:10.160 and they've
00:36:10.940 tended to think
00:36:11.680 ah
00:36:12.000 it's just
00:36:12.640 those silly
00:36:13.080 college students
00:36:13.800 once they get
00:36:14.540 out into
00:36:14.880 the real
00:36:15.300 world
00:36:15.600 they'll
00:36:16.020 stiffen
00:36:16.740 up their
00:36:17.080 spines
00:36:17.680 and
00:36:18.060 you know
00:36:19.520 the marketplace
00:36:20.180 will take
00:36:20.700 care of
00:36:20.940 things
00:36:21.060 that's
00:36:21.640 not
00:36:21.880 happening
00:36:22.420 the
00:36:23.440 delusional
00:36:25.060 ideology
00:36:25.860 that
00:36:26.160 believes
00:36:26.700 that
00:36:27.220 racism
00:36:28.240 and
00:36:28.560 sexism
00:36:29.140 are the
00:36:29.480 most
00:36:29.760 pervasive
00:36:30.420 features
00:36:31.220 of American
00:36:31.760 society
00:36:32.400 that society
00:36:33.520 and college
00:36:35.360 campuses
00:36:35.820 in particular
00:36:36.440 but society
00:36:37.020 in general
00:36:37.500 is divided
00:36:38.560 into victim
00:36:39.300 groups
00:36:39.840 they're
00:36:40.440 oppressors
00:36:41.160 and then
00:36:41.680 if you're
00:36:42.660 if you work
00:36:43.680 really hard
00:36:44.320 to get out
00:36:44.820 of the
00:36:45.040 oppressor
00:36:45.540 category
00:36:46.040 you get
00:36:46.540 to be
00:36:46.820 an ally
00:36:47.720 that is
00:36:49.320 transforming
00:36:50.040 the world
00:36:50.640 at large
00:36:51.360 we see
00:36:52.480 trigger
00:36:53.060 happy
00:36:53.920 reactions
00:36:55.220 to any
00:36:55.900 unorthodox
00:36:56.740 speech
00:36:57.300 the google
00:36:58.460 fired a
00:36:59.180 computer
00:36:59.580 engineer
00:37:00.100 who dared
00:37:00.900 to challenge
00:37:01.640 the
00:37:01.920 dominant
00:37:02.660 feminist
00:37:03.220 ideology
00:37:03.880 at that
00:37:04.320 company
00:37:04.760 other
00:37:05.700 other
00:37:06.340 Silicon Valley
00:37:07.160 companies
00:37:07.700 are obviously
00:37:08.500 likewise
00:37:09.440 under the
00:37:10.060 thrall
00:37:10.600 of
00:37:11.580 feminism
00:37:12.420 and
00:37:13.320 sort of
00:37:14.780 the diversity
00:37:15.420 thinking
00:37:16.000 so this
00:37:17.460 is happening
00:37:18.100 very quickly
00:37:19.020 and it
00:37:19.980 is worth
00:37:21.000 the public's
00:37:21.860 while
00:37:22.240 to pay
00:37:23.320 attention
00:37:23.800 to what's
00:37:24.380 happening
00:37:24.740 and to
00:37:25.180 start pushing
00:37:25.880 back against
00:37:26.720 this narrative
00:37:27.440 so i want
00:37:28.180 to i want
00:37:28.760 to talk
00:37:29.020 to you
00:37:29.180 about that
00:37:29.680 heather
00:37:29.940 because
00:37:30.460 there there
00:37:32.080 hasn't really
00:37:32.900 been a an
00:37:34.180 effective
00:37:34.680 dismantling
00:37:36.300 of of
00:37:37.500 this tool
00:37:38.140 because it
00:37:39.440 makes no
00:37:40.200 sense
00:37:40.700 it's it's
00:37:42.000 it's purpose
00:37:42.860 is to
00:37:44.100 destroy
00:37:44.940 language
00:37:45.600 families
00:37:46.620 people
00:37:47.680 self
00:37:48.340 you know
00:37:49.000 everything
00:37:49.440 absolutely
00:37:50.140 everything
00:37:50.700 reality
00:37:51.380 is destroyed
00:37:52.320 under this
00:37:52.840 and because
00:37:53.840 it's so
00:37:54.740 nonsensical
00:37:55.740 uh it
00:37:57.520 it has
00:37:58.360 built
00:37:58.780 this
00:37:59.300 this
00:38:00.420 i don't
00:38:01.380 even know
00:38:01.840 what it
00:38:02.340 is but
00:38:02.980 a way
00:38:04.140 for
00:38:04.880 you know
00:38:06.960 reason
00:38:07.940 to be
00:38:08.960 dismissed
00:38:09.400 because
00:38:10.320 reason
00:38:11.080 is part
00:38:11.720 of the
00:38:11.920 problem
00:38:12.320 so how
00:38:12.880 do you
00:38:13.440 dismantle
00:38:14.080 this
00:38:14.440 by pointing
00:38:16.720 out the
00:38:17.100 facts but
00:38:17.600 you're
00:38:17.800 absolutely
00:38:18.140 right to
00:38:18.680 be sort
00:38:19.320 of apocalyptic
00:38:20.120 in your
00:38:20.680 rhetoric
00:38:21.060 this is
00:38:22.000 very profound
00:38:23.000 we are
00:38:23.720 we are
00:38:24.440 playing with
00:38:25.400 the legacy
00:38:26.140 of and
00:38:27.040 of the
00:38:27.480 enlightenment
00:38:28.060 of reason
00:38:29.260 of science
00:38:30.180 science is
00:38:31.180 now coming
00:38:31.820 under
00:38:32.240 enormous
00:38:33.120 pressure from
00:38:33.920 the national
00:38:34.580 science
00:38:35.080 foundation no
00:38:35.920 less to
00:38:36.840 hire by race
00:38:37.820 and gender
00:38:38.300 instead of
00:38:38.820 merit we
00:38:39.640 are we
00:38:40.020 are putting
00:38:40.460 our scientific
00:38:41.200 competitive edge
00:38:43.060 at risk
00:38:43.740 what i have
00:38:45.340 to what i
00:38:45.980 do is
00:38:47.020 simply point
00:38:48.000 out the
00:38:48.360 facts i
00:38:48.960 start with
00:38:49.660 the college
00:38:50.220 campuses
00:38:50.860 the conceit
00:38:52.700 is that
00:38:53.520 to be a
00:38:54.440 female let's
00:38:55.360 say on a
00:38:56.000 college campus
00:38:56.780 today is
00:38:57.920 to be the
00:38:58.980 target of
00:38:59.920 lethal threat
00:39:00.880 this is
00:39:01.820 absurd
00:39:02.700 there has
00:39:03.820 never been
00:39:04.480 a more
00:39:05.200 tolerant
00:39:06.320 compassionate
00:39:07.100 environment in
00:39:08.060 human history
00:39:08.880 for society's
00:39:10.300 traditionally
00:39:10.840 oppressed
00:39:11.320 groups than
00:39:11.860 a college
00:39:12.300 campus
00:39:12.900 as far as
00:39:14.640 race goes
00:39:15.340 and i have
00:39:16.180 never been
00:39:16.760 discriminated in
00:39:17.680 my life as
00:39:18.560 a female
00:39:19.080 i was at
00:39:20.680 yale in
00:39:21.500 the 1970s
00:39:22.380 right after
00:39:22.940 it went
00:39:23.280 co-education
00:39:24.320 co-ed
00:39:25.440 if ever
00:39:25.900 there would
00:39:26.200 have been
00:39:26.360 a time
00:39:26.980 when yale
00:39:28.280 was discriminating
00:39:29.460 against females
00:39:30.280 it would have
00:39:30.740 been men
00:39:31.140 not a chance
00:39:32.420 every professor
00:39:33.440 i ever had
00:39:34.580 wanted me to
00:39:35.800 succeed
00:39:36.300 we also hear
00:39:37.480 that colleges
00:39:38.260 pose a lethal
00:39:39.220 threat to
00:39:40.360 minorities
00:39:40.940 that they are
00:39:41.740 hostile to
00:39:42.640 people of
00:39:43.160 color
00:39:43.460 the reality
00:39:44.460 is this
00:39:45.020 glenn
00:39:45.400 there is not
00:39:46.160 a single
00:39:46.680 college campus
00:39:47.860 today
00:39:48.460 whose
00:39:49.260 administrators
00:39:49.980 are not
00:39:50.760 twisting
00:39:51.140 themselves
00:39:51.620 into knots
00:39:52.640 to try
00:39:53.680 and hire
00:39:54.300 and admit
00:39:55.420 as many
00:39:56.020 underrepresented
00:39:56.820 minorities as
00:39:57.600 possible
00:39:58.000 they employ
00:39:58.540 vast racial
00:39:59.380 preferences
00:39:59.920 and admissions
00:40:00.700 to try to
00:40:01.900 bring in
00:40:02.320 blacks and
00:40:02.840 hispanics
00:40:03.360 this is a
00:40:03.880 misguided
00:40:04.400 policy
00:40:05.020 it's
00:40:05.640 extraordinarily
00:40:06.240 destructive
00:40:06.980 to its
00:40:07.420 alleged
00:40:07.700 beneficiaries
00:40:08.360 but they
00:40:09.200 insist on
00:40:09.840 doing it
00:40:10.420 so we
00:40:11.800 have an
00:40:12.280 environment
00:40:12.680 that's a
00:40:13.080 test case
00:40:13.900 it is
00:40:14.660 demonstrably
00:40:15.580 false
00:40:16.260 to say
00:40:17.200 that these
00:40:17.620 are racist
00:40:18.220 sexist
00:40:18.780 environments
00:40:19.300 and yet
00:40:20.060 there's a
00:40:21.120 massive
00:40:21.560 diversity
00:40:22.220 bureaucracy
00:40:22.700 on all
00:40:24.380 large college
00:40:25.260 campuses
00:40:25.760 today
00:40:26.280 costing
00:40:26.820 millions
00:40:28.180 and millions
00:40:28.840 of taxpayer
00:40:29.640 dollars
00:40:30.140 and tuition
00:40:30.660 dollars
00:40:31.100 devoted to
00:40:32.320 indoctrinating
00:40:33.060 students
00:40:33.600 into this
00:40:34.300 narcissistic
00:40:35.660 ideology
00:40:36.380 of victimhood
00:40:37.320 the
00:40:39.140 university
00:40:39.900 campus
00:40:41.240 is a
00:40:42.560 threat
00:40:43.000 but it
00:40:43.980 is
00:40:44.220 I believe
00:40:45.220 only a
00:40:45.920 threat
00:40:46.160 and by
00:40:46.960 design
00:40:47.520 and people
00:40:48.160 need to
00:40:48.900 understand
00:40:49.620 this
00:40:49.920 this is
00:40:50.300 not
00:40:50.880 hyperbole
00:40:52.200 it is
00:40:53.500 it is
00:40:54.300 designed
00:40:55.240 to take
00:40:56.280 apart
00:40:56.740 the western
00:40:57.760 world
00:40:58.400 it is
00:40:59.300 by design
00:41:00.480 taking apart
00:41:01.960 everything that
00:41:03.140 the enlightenment
00:41:03.780 gave us
00:41:04.620 and what the
00:41:05.200 enlightenment
00:41:05.560 gave us
00:41:06.120 was a way
00:41:06.580 out of the
00:41:07.160 dark ages
00:41:07.800 it's why they
00:41:09.080 can say that
00:41:09.660 math is
00:41:10.640 racist
00:41:11.200 again I
00:41:13.820 applaud
00:41:14.680 Glenn
00:41:15.600 your sense
00:41:17.060 of urgency
00:41:17.900 you're the
00:41:18.840 only person
00:41:19.480 I've
00:41:19.760 encountered
00:41:20.260 that is
00:41:20.720 willing to
00:41:21.400 say what
00:41:21.940 is at
00:41:22.220 stake
00:41:22.540 because
00:41:22.940 frankly
00:41:23.800 it sounds
00:41:24.900 unhinged
00:41:26.260 you know
00:41:26.880 a university
00:41:27.800 the university's
00:41:29.060 duty
00:41:29.560 is to
00:41:30.620 serve
00:41:31.180 as the
00:41:31.860 transmission
00:41:33.160 belt
00:41:33.640 for our
00:41:34.240 precious
00:41:34.720 inheritance
00:41:35.400 who would
00:41:36.420 think
00:41:36.940 that
00:41:37.720 the people
00:41:38.740 who are
00:41:39.120 the faculty
00:41:39.800 who are
00:41:40.260 so privileged
00:41:41.260 to be the
00:41:42.600 bearers of
00:41:43.340 this inheritance
00:41:44.040 they should
00:41:44.500 be down
00:41:44.980 on their
00:41:45.340 knees
00:41:45.660 in gratitude
00:41:46.620 to be the
00:41:47.860 curators
00:41:48.380 of
00:41:48.740 greatness
00:41:49.300 beauty
00:41:49.960 and
00:41:50.280 sublimity
00:41:50.920 instead
00:41:51.840 they
00:41:53.160 dismiss
00:41:53.940 it
00:41:54.180 they
00:41:54.440 disparage
00:41:55.240 it
00:41:55.480 I
00:41:56.200 was
00:41:56.540 the
00:41:57.660 subject
00:41:58.000 of
00:41:58.220 one
00:41:58.380 of
00:41:58.520 these
00:41:58.720 massive
00:41:59.200 violent
00:41:59.700 silencing
00:42:00.360 efforts
00:42:01.480 at
00:42:01.780 Claremont
00:42:02.200 McKenna
00:42:02.600 College
00:42:03.100 in
00:42:03.440 Southern
00:42:04.240 California
00:42:05.000 two years
00:42:05.720 ago
00:42:06.080 to prevent
00:42:06.560 me
00:42:06.760 from
00:42:06.940 speaking
00:42:07.300 about
00:42:07.620 the
00:42:07.840 police
00:42:08.340 and
00:42:09.220 afterwards
00:42:09.840 black
00:42:11.040 students
00:42:11.620 at
00:42:11.900 Pomona
00:42:12.340 College
00:42:12.840 another
00:42:13.180 of the
00:42:13.540 Claremont
00:42:13.960 colleges
00:42:14.560 wrote a
00:42:15.560 manifesto
00:42:16.260 against
00:42:16.640 me
00:42:16.880 that
00:42:17.040 I
00:42:17.200 quote
00:42:17.540 in
00:42:17.700 my
00:42:17.880 book
00:42:18.260 that
00:42:18.860 is
00:42:19.040 just
00:42:19.380 a
00:42:19.700 stunning
00:42:20.460 example
00:42:21.720 of
00:42:22.100 student
00:42:22.500 ignorance
00:42:22.960 it
00:42:23.260 purports
00:42:24.180 to talk
00:42:24.760 about
00:42:25.060 the
00:42:25.260 enlightenment
00:42:25.780 it
00:42:26.640 purports
00:42:27.200 to argue
00:42:27.780 through
00:42:28.160 a
00:42:28.560 sort
00:42:29.180 of
00:42:29.340 a
00:42:29.980 inept
00:42:31.680 version
00:42:32.320 of
00:42:32.800 high
00:42:33.260 theory
00:42:33.860 of
00:42:34.260 Foucaultian
00:42:35.380 postmodernism
00:42:36.460 that you're
00:42:36.820 so aware
00:42:37.380 of
00:42:37.500 to argue
00:42:38.480 that
00:42:39.060 the
00:42:39.640 enlightenment
00:42:40.300 is the
00:42:40.900 source
00:42:41.200 of
00:42:41.360 oppression
00:42:41.860 they say
00:42:42.620 that the
00:42:42.940 search
00:42:43.360 for truth
00:42:44.160 is a
00:42:45.340 way
00:42:46.000 of
00:42:46.300 oppressing
00:42:46.860 minorities
00:42:47.560 the
00:42:47.880 thinking
00:42:48.280 is so
00:42:48.900 unbelievably
00:42:50.260 garbled
00:42:51.160 and yet
00:42:51.880 they're
00:42:52.760 picking this
00:42:53.540 up from
00:42:53.960 their
00:42:54.160 professors
00:42:54.740 this
00:42:58.280 is the
00:42:59.420 best
00:42:59.680 of
00:42:59.820 the
00:42:59.920 Glenn
00:43:00.120 Beck
00:43:00.320 program
00:43:00.860 the
00:43:10.840 picture
00:43:11.240 seared
00:43:11.740 in the
00:43:12.120 nation's
00:43:12.640 memory
00:43:13.000 president
00:43:13.540 bush
00:43:14.020 at
00:43:14.660 ground
00:43:15.040 zero
00:43:15.440 three
00:43:15.920 days
00:43:16.340 after
00:43:16.740 the
00:43:17.000 attacks
00:43:17.580 a
00:43:18.020 bullhorn
00:43:18.580 in one
00:43:19.040 hand
00:43:19.320 the other
00:43:19.740 draped
00:43:20.080 around
00:43:20.400 firefighter
00:43:21.140 Bob
00:43:21.340 that
00:43:21.520 firefighter
00:43:22.240 with
00:43:22.680 president
00:43:23.040 bush
00:43:23.320 was
00:43:23.500 Bob
00:43:23.760 Beckwith
00:43:24.200 stood
00:43:25.880 shoulder
00:43:26.340 to
00:43:26.520 shoulder
00:43:26.720 with

00:43:27.220 Bob
00:43:27.580 Beckwith
00:43:28.140 a
00:43:28.360 firefighter
00:43:29.140 from
00:43:29.340 Queens
00:43:29.820 New York
00:43:30.420 in his
00:43:30.720 mid-60s
00:43:31.640 that day
00:43:32.440 he stood
00:43:33.320 alongside
00:43:33.780 the president
00:43:34.520 and stepped
00:43:35.140 onto the
00:43:36.060 national
00:43:37.000 patriotic
00:43:38.060 stage
00:43:38.680 Bob are you
00:43:41.600 there
00:43:41.900 yes
00:43:43.860 hi Bob
00:43:44.620 how are
00:43:45.020 you
00:43:45.280 very good
00:43:46.200 and yourself
00:43:46.620 I'm very
00:43:47.280 good sir
00:43:47.880 very good
00:43:49.120 I uh
00:43:49.980 I just
00:43:50.460 wanted to
00:43:50.900 touch base
00:43:51.560 with you
00:43:52.080 um
00:43:52.740 the
00:43:53.420 your
00:43:53.700 experiences
00:43:54.400 with
00:43:54.760 9-11
00:43:55.320 because
00:43:55.840 I
00:43:56.140 I
00:43:56.740 painted
00:43:57.080 a
00:43:57.400 painting
00:43:57.860 of
00:43:58.340 of
00:43:58.740 you
00:43:59.060 a
00:43:59.520 couple
00:43:59.700 of
00:43:59.860 weeks
00:44:00.040 ago
00:44:00.240 for
00:44:00.440 an
00:44:00.600 auction
00:44:01.020 and
00:44:02.200 as
00:44:02.500 I
00:44:02.620 was
00:44:02.800 painting
00:44:03.160 you
00:44:03.580 I
00:44:03.860 thought
00:44:04.280 you know
00:44:05.920 I know
00:44:06.340 this man's
00:44:07.040 story
00:44:07.340 but not
00:44:07.840 really
00:44:08.700 and now
00:44:09.480 that you've
00:44:09.880 had
00:44:10.120 you know
00:44:11.160 almost 20
00:44:11.800 years to
00:44:12.340 digest it
00:44:13.180 I'd love
00:44:14.100 to hear
00:44:14.640 first of all
00:44:15.860 where were
00:44:16.520 you on
00:44:17.520 9-11
00:44:18.220 when it
00:44:18.780 happened
00:44:19.240 when it
00:44:20.560 happened
00:44:21.060 my daughter
00:44:22.580 had called
00:44:23.300 me that
00:44:24.320 my grandson
00:44:25.220 going to
00:44:26.540 school on
00:44:27.140 his bicycle
00:44:27.780 was hit
00:44:28.320 by a car
00:44:29.080 about two
00:44:30.300 blocks away
00:44:30.880 from me
00:44:31.300 and I ran
00:44:32.820 over there
00:44:33.320 to see
00:44:34.140 what was
00:44:34.900 happening
00:44:35.260 and I
00:44:36.500 saw him
00:44:37.060 on the
00:44:37.280 ground
00:44:37.680 but he
00:44:38.140 was moving
00:44:38.640 so I
00:44:39.260 that was
00:44:40.260 a plus
00:44:41.000 and I
00:44:42.180 found out
00:44:42.640 from the
00:44:43.080 ambulance
00:44:43.920 driver
00:44:44.460 what hospital
00:44:45.440 they were
00:44:45.800 taking him
00:44:46.320 to
00:44:46.600 and I
00:44:47.960 came home
00:44:48.620 to get
00:44:48.960 my car
00:44:49.620 I
00:44:50.320 listened
00:44:50.780 on the
00:44:51.180 radio
00:44:51.500 and I
00:44:51.860 heard a
00:44:52.800 guy say
00:44:53.280 a plane

00:45:04.240 said that's
00:45:05.880 a little bit
00:45:06.320 bigger than
00:45:06.720 a small
