The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guest： Andrew McCarthy ｜ 12⧸11⧸18

00:00:00.000 The Blaze Radio Network, on demand.

00:00:08.380 Hello, America.

00:00:09.680 We had a great, great podcast for you today.

00:00:12.200 Are you ready?

00:00:13.040 We start with Planned Parenthood in the Supreme Court.

00:00:16.920 Oh, I'm so glad we had that knife fight over the summer.

00:00:20.160 Yeah.

00:00:20.680 It really all turned out to be true, didn't it?

00:00:23.180 Or that Kavanaugh is just going to just really take the world by storm when it comes to Planned Parenthood and abortions. 1.00

00:00:31.700 There's reasons to worry about Kavanaugh early.

00:00:33.780 And we talked about him before all this went down.

00:00:37.320 And so far, the indications are not good.

00:00:40.120 Also, Andrew McCarthy joins us.

00:00:41.840 He tells us a little bit about what is really happening in Washington with the president.

00:00:46.020 He says, as a big supporter of Trump, that they are going to indict him.

00:00:50.680 What does that even mean?

00:00:52.620 Andrew McCarthy joins us.

00:00:54.880 And J.P. Sears and Baby It's Cold Outside is now sexist.

00:01:02.380 It's a rape culture song. 1.00

00:01:04.180 Oh, I have so many shut-ups in me.

00:01:06.260 I get them all out in today's podcast.

00:01:15.780 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:01:19.840 It's Tuesday, December 11th.

00:01:23.840 All right.

00:01:25.100 Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

00:01:27.240 It's Brick House.

00:01:28.160 Just ate my salad and my greens and my fruit.

00:01:31.560 Just had breakfast this morning.

00:01:33.180 Put it in a little smoothie.

00:01:35.100 Just a scoop of it.

00:01:36.000 And I don't have to have any vegetables today.

00:01:38.800 It's your hall pass.

00:01:39.860 It is.

00:01:40.480 The hall pass to a skip salad.

00:01:41.400 And it's not bogus.

00:01:43.180 It's like the real deal.

00:01:44.580 Yeah.

00:01:45.280 I mean, it's true.

00:01:45.960 It's not supplements.

00:01:47.040 It's the real food.

00:01:48.240 The real food.

00:01:48.900 And you get all the stuff that you need out of fruits and vegetables from Brick House Nutrition.

00:01:53.100 It's called Field of Greens.

00:01:54.860 And you put that in.

00:01:56.140 You deal with it once a day.

00:01:57.860 And the good thing is it actually tastes good.

00:01:59.360 So it's not a chore.

00:02:01.460 But you get out of the way the actual chore of eating a real salad.

00:02:06.180 I'm so happy that I can say to my wife, nope, not going to have any of those.

00:02:09.340 Nope.

00:02:09.640 Already had them.

00:02:28.060 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:29.900 So, do you remember the hand-wringing?

00:02:32.980 Do you remember the wailing, the doomsday scenarios forecasted by the left during the Brett Kavanaugh Confirmation Circus?

00:02:39.980 He is going to end women's rights. 1.00

00:02:42.640 In fact, he might end up killing all women. 0.98

00:02:44.880 Do you remember the protesters that were dressed like women from The Handmaid's Tale? 0.99

00:02:50.960 The hysteria.

00:02:52.640 It all came down to one issue.

00:02:54.440 The left was scared out of its collective mind that Brett Kavanaugh would somehow single-handedly overturn Roe vs. Wade and force women into the dark ages and bootleg abortions.

00:03:08.520 This monster was going to destroy all women's rights. 1.00

00:03:14.600 And then, a little something of interest to the pro-abortion crowd came down from the Supreme Court yesterday.

00:03:23.280 We begin there, right now.

00:03:26.720 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:03:31.480 So, um...

00:03:33.280 So, the abortion thing.

00:03:35.960 Yesterday, Supreme Court.

00:03:38.060 The court dealt a blow to conservatives.

00:03:41.480 Wait a minute.

00:03:42.340 I thought Kavanaugh was the Antichrist.

00:03:45.400 Seems like we should have been the ones freaking out.

00:03:48.180 Now, there were several conservatives, us included, that said, wait a minute, this guy was not on the list.

00:03:55.640 Wait a minute.

00:03:56.580 This guy could be another Justice Thomas.

00:03:59.780 Or, um, not Thomas, but...

00:04:02.180 Souter? 0.91

00:04:03.180 No, the other guy that overturned Roberts.

00:04:06.840 Um, he could be another Justice Roberts.

00:04:10.440 And why is he added all of a sudden?

00:04:12.820 He wasn't on anybody's list.

00:04:15.100 They're freaking out.

00:04:16.460 But, we are all like, oh, we gotta have him now.

00:04:20.320 Well, I'm not sure he...

00:04:22.660 I mean, he teaches with Jesuits.

00:04:24.620 I'm not sure he's a real conservative.

00:04:26.880 Well, the two part...

00:04:27.900 There's two parts to this.

00:04:29.200 One is, you're right.

00:04:31.380 You know, the list that got Donald Trump elected did not have Brett Kavanaugh's name on it.

00:04:36.280 It was added after he was in office.

00:04:38.360 There are still 20 names on the original list that are not Supreme Court justices.

00:04:42.800 Why did the list need to be expanded?

00:04:44.540 I don't understand it.

00:04:46.100 There were real reasons why Kavanaugh was not on that first list.

00:04:49.580 And the Obamacare decision he was involved in was a big part of that.

00:04:52.760 The second unrelated issue here is, Brett Kavanaugh is absolutely a qualified justice.

00:04:59.280 And the attacks against him were absolutely unfair.

00:05:01.980 So, I mean, it was completely fine, I think, for once he was nominated, to say he is qualified.

00:05:07.840 And it is the president's decision.

00:05:09.460 Correct.

00:05:09.580 And I understand all that.

00:05:11.100 But he should not have been on the list.

00:05:12.520 There's 20 people still on the original list that were never named to be nominated as a Supreme Court justice.

00:05:18.420 There was no reason to go off that list.

00:05:20.300 The list is the big reason why Donald Trump was elected.

00:05:23.060 We get hundreds of calls over the election of people saying, look, I, you know, I don't like X, Y, and Z about Donald Trump.

00:05:29.440 But you know what?

00:05:30.060 That Supreme Court list makes me confident.

00:05:32.060 And we're going to have Supreme Court justices.

00:05:33.420 We have to get good ones.

00:05:34.100 And it's a logical argument.

00:05:35.480 But why the fact that no one paid any attention?

00:05:38.160 Because Gorsuch was on the first list.

00:05:39.560 And he's been great.

00:05:40.580 And he was right in this case.

00:05:42.420 So here we go.

00:05:43.440 So the conservatives were hoping to challenge the individual state funding of Planned Parenthood.

00:05:51.240 Six to three vote.

00:05:52.960 Court decided not to review the lower court decisions that blocked the states of Kansas and Louisiana from preventing Planned Parenthood from receiving Medicaid funding.

00:06:02.180 To accept the case, the court needed four justices to vote in favor.

00:06:06.920 Now, to be clear, Medicaid funding in question does not directly involve abortions.

00:06:11.840 Federal law already prohibits using Medicaid to fund abortions.

00:06:15.800 But it's going to Planned Parenthood.

00:06:18.600 Predictably, the court's four progressive justices voted against hearing the appeals.

00:06:25.080 Let the money go to Planned Parenthood.

00:06:27.880 I think also somewhat predictably, the court's chameleon conservative John Roberts voted with the progressives.

00:06:35.360 But wouldn't you know it?

00:06:36.360 The sixth vote against hearing the case came from Brett Kavanaugh.

00:06:41.840 In his dissent, Justice Thomas wrote that the cases in question were not about abortion rights.

00:06:47.680 He said,

00:06:48.600 What explains the court's refusal to do its job here?

00:06:52.260 I suppose it has something to do with the fact that some respondents in these cases are named Planned Parenthood.

00:07:00.920 Some tenuous connection to a politically fraught issue does not justify abdicating our judicial duty, end quote.

00:07:11.380 Justice Roberts, I'm sure, did this because he just wants everybody to get along.

00:07:16.900 He just wants to save the integrity of the Supreme Court while what, destroying it?

00:07:22.860 The point is not that Brett Kavanaugh is suddenly pro-abortion or Planned Parenthood supporter.

00:07:29.480 It's that he's already showing himself to be the kind of justice some of us thought he would be.

00:07:35.280 Someone who, like John Roberts, might lean conservative sometimes, but won't always side with the usual conservative block,

00:07:42.640 especially when it comes to things like life.

00:07:45.300 In other words, the left, the left was positive, the sky was falling, that women are just going to be abused. 0.91

00:07:56.300 And this is the linchpin on Planned Parenthood and abortion.

00:08:04.200 Yeah, the sky wasn't falling.

00:08:06.460 It appears it was an acorn.

00:08:09.000 I was thrilled to see how many people have been writing in and tweeting and Facebook posting how they are, how they're joining.

00:08:30.000 You know, it was Tyler Perry and Chris Rock and Kid Rock and me that went out and we did our local Walmart and took care of all of the layaways.

00:08:44.820 And it was such a cool thing.

00:08:46.940 And I still challenge people in my position to go out and do something amazing because it's really,

00:08:53.820 what's great is it's not only good for you, but it's spreading.

00:09:00.500 I had so much mail yesterday from people who said, I went and did this with my family and I just, we only had, you know, $50 or we had $100 or we had $25.

00:09:10.020 And it was so cool to do.

00:09:13.340 So engage in that.

00:09:17.540 Now there's, there's also a couple of things that I, I don't know if I, I don't even know where to begin.

00:09:23.820 Uh, we have 13% of Americans will boycott Christmas spending 13% still boycott Christmas spending.

00:09:32.640 Yeah.

00:09:32.720 They say that they do not want to be a part of this, this whole commercialization.

00:09:38.680 So they're not going to spend any money for the holiday season.

00:09:42.460 13% that's pretty high.

00:09:44.280 Allow me to roll my eyes a little harder at that one.

00:09:47.000 Uh, because you know what?

00:09:48.180 First of all, it's not going to be 13%.

00:09:50.300 13% of people are not, uh, that's just not true.

00:09:53.880 Secondly, we, why do we vilify commercialism so much?

00:09:57.420 What's so raw?

00:09:58.120 What's so bad about it?

00:09:59.320 What's so bad about having cool toys and fun parts?

00:10:02.100 It's not, it can't be the whole holiday.

00:10:03.920 And if it's the whole holiday, then you're right, you're doing it wrong.

00:10:06.400 But it was a great part of my childhood.

00:10:08.440 I loved getting cool things for Christmas.

00:10:10.500 My kids like doing it too.

00:10:12.480 Uh, you know, there's nothing wrong with materialism.

00:10:14.620 It's, it's like, it's, it's like this weird, like,

00:10:16.900 and I know this isn't the way you're thinking about it,

00:10:19.220 but I feel like a lot of conservatives have adopted what is essentially an anti-capitalism

00:10:25.380 liberal argument, which is like, oh, well, we can, you know, buying things makes it nasty

00:10:30.840 and, and, and dirty. 0.61

00:10:32.120 And you're sullying, uh, this, this season by getting involved in commercialism.

00:10:37.900 Commercialism is fine.

00:10:39.180 There's nothing wrong with capitalism and conservatism and commerce.

00:10:43.600 They're all pretty darn great.

00:10:45.220 And, you know, the fact is, if you let it become all about gifts, gifts, gifts, gifts, gifts,

00:10:51.120 gifts, gifts, gifts, gifts, yeah, you're, you're doing it wrong.

00:10:53.440 That's not the whole thing, but it's part of it.

00:10:54.900 And that's okay.

00:10:55.480 So I agree with you.

00:10:56.680 I agree with you.

00:10:57.640 I didn't think you would.

00:11:00.100 Yeah, because I don't, it is not about the gifts.

00:11:03.240 It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's how you embrace that.

00:11:07.360 But it's, uh, if you're making, for instance, I have grown to really not like the month

00:11:16.920 of December, um, because it has become about, I have to go do this.

00:11:23.480 We have to go do that.

00:11:24.820 We have to do this.

00:11:26.140 We have to do this.

00:11:27.100 Did you get the cards out?

00:11:28.980 Everybody's expecting this.

00:11:30.380 Did you get the presents for the people that you really don't even know?

00:11:33.780 And you, and you, have you sent those out and don't forget all the parties to do this 0.97

00:11:40.040 and the parties and all of this crap. 0.91

00:11:44.000 That's not what this holiday is about. 0.60

00:11:46.340 We've, we've made this the most stressful month ever instead of just making this the

00:11:52.260 coolest month ever.

00:11:53.480 Just go and just be with people and help people and, and give people presents.

00:11:59.640 There's nothing wrong with that.

00:12:02.160 Right.

00:12:02.320 And I think you're arguing against being overscheduled, which I find.

00:12:07.160 No, and also, and also just making it about stuff.

00:12:12.080 Right.

00:12:12.240 But like a card is not about stuff, right?

00:12:14.520 A card is an acknowledgement to someone else.

00:12:16.460 Hey, I'm thinking about you in this time of year, right?

00:12:19.040 Like that's, but that is a task.

00:12:20.580 It winds up being a task because you want to make sure you get it to everybody.

00:12:23.640 And it doesn't feel like it's supposed to.

00:12:26.560 That's supposed to be a nice gesture, right?

00:12:28.940 That's not about like, oh, here's something they're going to, they're getting some cool

00:12:32.620 commercial gift.

00:12:33.840 Yes.

00:12:33.960 You're buying the card and you could theoretically make the card, but that's all about a message,

00:12:37.860 right?

00:12:38.020 To someone that you supposedly like.

00:12:39.460 But how many times are you getting cards from people?

00:12:42.160 Like, for instance, I get a Christmas card.

00:12:44.920 Last few years, I've gotten a Christmas card from Vince Vaughn.

00:12:49.000 Vince Vaughn doesn't think of me in the holidays.

00:12:51.920 He's not thinking of me.

00:12:53.880 You know what I mean?

00:12:54.640 I don't know how I got on his Christmas card list.

00:12:57.080 When I got onto his Christmas card list and I get a Christmas card from him.

00:13:00.800 First of all, it's pretty cool.

00:13:01.840 No, it's cool.

00:13:02.580 It is cool.

00:13:03.580 But it's like, he's not thinking about me.

00:13:06.940 He's like, you know, you know, pal, it's been another year.

00:13:10.420 No, that, and that's what I mean.

00:13:11.580 It becomes a task.

00:13:13.020 Correct.

00:13:13.180 You know, my wife is a classic, she loves Christmas and she's a classic overscheduler, 0.97

00:13:19.300 I would say, in Christmas.

00:13:20.640 Like, so she signs up for every Christmas tradition and she signs up for every, you know, the kids

00:13:26.400 are in every, you know, little Christmas thing.

00:13:28.600 And then every year we get here and she's like, next year we're not doing X, Y, and Z

00:13:31.900 because it's too much.

00:13:32.880 And it's true. 0.56

00:13:33.540 We run around like crazy.

00:13:34.780 Though I do love those things.

00:13:36.460 I do like going to those little traditional events and I like, you know, a lot of it's

00:13:40.820 just like going to see people and doing things that you wouldn't normally do the rest of

00:13:44.060 the year.

00:13:44.540 And, you know, we have two little kids, so they're in like 9,475 Christmas specials that

00:13:49.140 we go to.

00:13:50.260 And then there's multiple showings of those, so we're about 15, 20,000 of those.

00:13:54.320 But I mean, again, like, you don't trade those things.

00:13:56.880 Like, you want to go do them.

00:13:58.440 I feel like...

00:13:58.960 I don't know.

00:13:59.520 I'm kind of glad that Cheyenne's not in ballet this year. 0.99

00:14:02.640 They don't have to sit through the damn nutcracker twice. 0.99

00:14:07.460 I just... 0.99

00:14:08.360 I think because it gets stressful, because you're just adding it on to work, right?

00:14:13.480 And at times it feels like a job.

00:14:14.740 Like, I was on vacation last week, and I feel like I was running around more than any normal

00:14:21.380 work week.

00:14:22.320 You're running around to events and picking kids up, and you're shuttling to the other

00:14:26.300 thing, and then you got to make sure you get there on time, because if you're late,

00:14:29.420 you know, you'll miss it.

00:14:31.220 And then you just feel like you've just adopted a new full-time job for the month.

00:14:36.160 But that's not capitalism's fault.

00:14:38.600 That is not capitalism's fault.

00:14:41.060 Commercialism is a part of Christmas, and I don't...

00:14:44.380 I really don't think it's a bad part of Christmas.

00:14:47.140 I think it's great.

00:14:48.620 I like going to...

00:14:50.000 I like going and doing the shopping and giving people gifts that they don't...

00:14:53.240 You know, that you got to come up with and pick out, and especially with your kids, like

00:14:57.560 the stuff that you're able to get them.

00:14:59.640 I mean, yeah.

00:15:00.680 No, you're right.

00:15:01.660 It can't be your only priority, I think, is a better way of stating it.

00:15:04.240 I tell this story, I've told this story before, so I apologize, but there was one year that

00:15:09.000 we hit it, the first year that we really hit it, and I grew up in a family that, I mean,

00:15:13.720 I got one present one year, and, you know, we struggled as a family, and I always wanted

00:15:20.340 to do Christmas for my kids big, you know?

00:15:23.800 Oh, yeah.

00:15:24.280 And so I did.

00:15:25.540 We hit it big one year.

00:15:26.720 I can't remember this.

00:15:27.660 I remember this year.

00:15:28.420 Yeah, the presents, I mean, I really, honest to God, I went out and I bought everything

00:15:33.900 I've ever wanted to get my kids and my wife for Christmas.

00:15:36.920 I mean, everything.

00:15:38.040 The presents, the presents were like...

00:15:41.840 You couldn't even see the tree, basically.

00:15:42.980 You couldn't see the tree.

00:15:43.960 You really couldn't see half of the tree.

00:15:45.540 And it was the most empty and hollow Christmas we've ever had.

00:15:50.920 None of us recall that as a good Christmas.

00:15:53.140 And we got everything we wanted.

00:15:54.840 Yeah.

00:15:55.200 It's not about that.

00:15:57.400 It's a priority setting issue.

00:15:58.720 Yeah.

00:15:58.960 Right?

00:15:59.380 I mean, you have to have the more important things or it's not, you're not doing it right.

00:16:04.040 But the fact that you get the little...

00:16:05.240 It's like, you know, someone who is in shape might tell you, you know, eating nonstop ice

00:16:11.680 cream buffets is not the proper diet. 0.99

00:16:14.100 Shut up. 0.97

00:16:14.480 But a little ice cream at the end of a meal can be great. 1.00

00:16:18.820 Yeah.

00:16:19.060 It's balance in everything.

00:16:21.120 That's all it is.

00:16:21.860 It's just balance.

00:16:22.820 We swing from one side to the other and we swing so far.

00:16:28.860 The pendulum when it's in the middle is usually the right thing.

00:16:33.520 You know, an all ice cream diet is not good.

00:16:36.920 Ice cream occasionally is good.

00:16:38.880 You know, let's just say a lifestyle where you've never worked out a day in your life

00:16:46.180 in the end is not good.

00:16:49.380 I, this was a weird, I don't understand this part of it.

00:16:51.460 I'm still working on that and convincing myself and I can't really pull it off.

00:16:55.580 A little heroin is not, it's okay, but if you're doing it all the time, I mean, it just shakes

00:17:02.960 up your holiday season.

00:17:04.780 Exactly right.

00:17:05.640 So last night we finished the tree.

00:17:08.280 If you were listening yesterday, I was, I was abandoned at the tree.

00:17:12.820 Okay.

00:17:13.540 On Sunday, uh, because, uh, I was, I was decorating it the way my mother deck, you know, you kind

00:17:21.980 of, you are just who you grew up as and, uh, you don't really realize it.

00:17:27.360 And pretty soon I found myself as the only one decorating the tree.

00:17:31.380 And I was like, Hey, what, what happened?

00:17:34.840 How come is it me?

00:17:36.540 And my wife from the kitchen said, yep, it's you.

00:17:40.340 And it was because I'm really OCD.

00:17:44.520 I'm just so OCD on things, uh, and the tree.

00:17:48.500 And so I was doing it like my mother used to, which was, you know, okay, kids, you put

00:17:54.340 the big things to block the hollow parts of the tree and, you know, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:17:59.300 A real planning process you had.

00:18:00.260 Planning.

00:18:00.900 And it was not fun.

00:18:01.940 And so last night we decorated the tree and I, I let it go.

00:18:09.180 And, uh, it was, it was, it was, it was fun.

00:18:13.900 It was fun.

00:18:14.880 It was, I actually did enjoy it.

00:18:17.000 It was very difficult once I sat down because I couldn't, I couldn't, I couldn't stop.

00:18:22.980 And then I realized what I think it is.

00:18:26.160 We have a fake tree.

00:18:27.900 And fake trees.

00:18:30.660 Cause we, we have, uh, when we got a, when we spent our Christmas up at the ranch in

00:18:36.120 the mountains, we get a real tree in Texas, you know, on a real tree, you know, first of

00:18:42.520 all, you have to mortgage your house to get a real tree.

00:18:44.780 Uh, and, uh, and second of all, it's like a, you know, it's like a Charlie Brown Christmas

00:18:50.680 tree.

00:18:51.020 All the needles just fall off the minute, the minute the clock strikes 12, all the needles

00:18:56.880 fall off.

00:18:57.440 They've been dead for so long anyway.

00:18:59.860 Uh, so we have a real tree when we celebrate Christmas up at the, up at the ranch.

00:19:05.660 Cause we could just go out and cut one.

00:19:07.880 I'm not like that at the ranch.

00:19:10.720 I'm not like that at the ranch.

00:19:12.540 Cause the tree is imperfect. 0.99

00:19:16.160 The tree is just like, I sat down on the couch and I looked at this damn tree and I thought, 0.98

00:19:20.160 how did I ever like this tree? 0.99

00:19:21.620 It's like a perfect cone.

00:19:25.700 And I realized it was, that's not what a Christmas tree is supposed to look like.

00:19:31.060 It is supposed to just be like, you know, the handmade stuff and the stuff.

00:19:36.120 And it's just kind of imperfect.

00:19:37.960 I mean, so much of it is tradition, right?

00:19:39.180 Did you grow up with all real trees?

00:19:41.560 Uh, I didn't.

00:19:42.500 You had fake trees?

00:19:43.560 We had fake trees.

00:19:44.700 Really?

00:19:45.360 Fake trees.

00:19:45.840 That's surprising coming from you.

00:19:47.280 I know.

00:19:47.880 Cause I love the fake trees, man.

00:19:49.380 They're so much easier.

00:19:50.520 They are.

00:19:51.180 And that's where I got, but I don't, I don't know.

00:19:52.940 It just doesn't seem as authentic.

00:19:56.060 Maybe.

00:19:56.560 I don't know.

00:19:57.040 No, it's true.

00:19:57.720 You're trading convenience.

00:19:58.920 Yes, you are.

00:20:00.160 Authenticity.

00:20:00.780 You are.

00:20:01.540 I'm not always opposed to that trade, however.

00:20:05.020 Neither am I.

00:20:05.780 Not always.

00:20:06.760 Not always.

00:21:18.320 All right, we have Andrew McCarthy on with us, contributing editor of the National Review.

00:21:24.160 Andy, you are one of the only voices that have penetrated my world when it comes to what's happening with the Trump investigation because you have credibility.

00:21:38.140 And I know that you're a Trump supporter, so you don't have an ax to grind.

00:21:42.360 And so when you say, I think he's going to be indicted because this is the way this is being written, it carried some weight, and I wanted to talk to you about it.

00:21:51.040 How are you, Andrew?

00:21:52.440 I'm doing just great, Glenn.

00:21:54.520 How are you?

00:21:55.760 I'm great.

00:21:56.780 I've been, and I don't know if other people feel this way, but I've been really confused with all that's going on because it's all leaks or speculation.

00:22:05.500 And, you know, I'm just waiting for the thing to, just when the shoes drop, then we'll talk about it.

00:22:11.180 But you are a federal, a former New York federal investigator, sorry, prosecutor.

00:22:17.660 And so you used to write the things like you just read from Cohen's, what do you call it?

00:22:28.240 The Sentencing Memorandum.

00:22:29.640 The Sentencing Memorandum.

00:22:30.880 So you used to write it, those things, and you say, this is very telling.

00:22:36.600 Can you explain?

00:22:38.500 Sure.

00:22:38.820 I think, Glenn, you're right to be suspicious when you hear the leaked information because obviously the people who leak are telling you the, they're sort of mining the parts of the story they want you to hear and holding back other stuff.

00:22:53.480 Whereas when they do these court filings, this is a 40-page document that is customarily filed about a week or two in advance of the imposition of sentence by the court.

00:23:05.840 You get a full flavor of what the government's theory about the case is and where they're going with the investigation.

00:23:15.060 And it seemed to me that this sentencing memo is more directed at President Trump than it is at Cohen.

00:23:24.280 Sentencing memos are interesting in terms of legal filings because they're not kind of dry legal issue oriented submissions.

00:23:34.000 They're almost like jury arguments except they're meant to persuade the sentencing judge.

00:23:38.360 So they tend to be more forceful and colorful and sort of filled with their prosecution theory.

00:23:46.200 And here this one reads in the part of it that deals with the campaign finance laws as a testimonial to the importance of those laws to the integrity of the system and how they are meant to make sure that the rich and the powerful don't usurp all of the power in the system and designed to fight against public cynicism about money in politics.

00:24:14.200 I mean, it almost seemed to me like it was it was drafted with the president in mind more than Cohen.

00:24:22.060 And then I look at the other attendance situations or attendance circumstances that you have here.

00:24:29.860 Number one, they didn't really need these campaign finance counts on Cohen.

00:24:34.620 His sentence is really driven by the bank fraud and the tax fraud counts.

00:24:38.780 These add negligibly at most to his case, but they're obviously critical, critical in connection with Trump at the guilty plea allocution.

00:24:50.520 They gratuitously had him say that he was directed by Trump.

00:24:57.020 In connection with these payments, that is not something that was necessary to the factual basis for Cohen's own plea.

00:25:05.580 And ordinarily, prosecutors in public proceedings do not go out of their way to implicate uncharged people in felonies.

00:25:15.960 So it seemed to me they were sort of reaching to do that.

00:25:19.780 And it doesn't I don't see that they have any other purpose of doing that, except that they want to lock Cohen in on this version of events.

00:25:29.040 And this is their chance of doing it.

00:25:31.380 And then the other thing I would point to is they have given immunity, I believe, to four different people in this campaign finance investigation.

00:25:41.720 Campaign finance is not a very serious felony in the greater scheme of things.

00:25:46.960 They've given immunity to two people connected to the National Enquirer.

00:25:52.280 And I believe two people connected with the with the Trump organization, which relates to the structuring of the reimbursement payment to Cohen.

00:26:02.420 I don't think they gave four people immunity to tighten up the case on Cohen that they didn't need.

00:26:08.540 So all right.

00:26:10.540 OK, so so what does that tell you they're going to do with Trump?

00:26:16.780 Well, it seems to be they're going to indict him.

00:26:20.800 One of the things, Glenn, that I should have said was that I think there's a lot of misunderstanding about what these two campaign finance counts allege.

00:26:31.820 Most people, I think, believe that because Cohen had a twenty seven hundred dollar limit as a normal contributor, that these payments were way above that limit.

00:26:45.140 And that's why he had to plead guilty.

00:26:47.100 But very interestingly, the first of the counts is not that Cohen made an illegal payment.

00:26:56.240 It's that he caused a third party, namely the the business entity that controls the National Enquirer to make a to make a payment that was illegal for the National Enquirer to make.

00:27:12.440 And the point here is it's the theory is even if a transaction would be legal as to you, if you did it yourself, it is still illegal to cause a third party to do something that would be unlawful as to that third party.

00:27:32.580 And it seems to me that that answers directly what Trump's lawyers have been saying about this, which is that the president, because he was the candidate, did not have a limit on what he could spend on his own campaign.

00:27:50.480 Now, I've always thought that was a kind of a flawed explanation because there's there's two parts that are important to campaign finance.

00:27:56.860 One is the limits, but the probably the more important one is reporting.

00:28:01.180 So even a candidate has to report what he spends.

00:28:05.180 But for for our narrow purpose here, if if Cone is being directed by Trump and they have Cone plead guilty to causing a third party entity to make an illegal contribution, it seems obvious to me that Trump also has to be guilty of that.

00:28:24.020 So it seems it at least looks to me like that.

00:28:29.720 That's the case they're trying to make.

00:28:31.320 Right.

00:28:35.380 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:28:43.380 All right. All right. Let me give you a couple of things here, Stu.

00:28:46.880 You can choose the news because I'm just not going to be able to get through everything.

00:28:50.460 Facebook has filed a patent to calculate your future location.

00:28:54.040 That one is fascinating.

00:28:55.400 Yes, it is. The new exercise guidelines.

00:28:58.200 Not bad news.

00:28:59.260 If you don't if you're like me.

00:29:02.940 Let's see here.

00:29:04.660 Right.

00:29:05.220 Because it's that time of year where I every time I pass a plate of cookies, there's no more cookies on the plate when I walk by it.

00:29:12.040 It's really it's amazing.

00:29:14.500 How can it be so hard to not eat a cookie?

00:29:17.280 But it is that hard.

00:29:18.180 And and what the trade war in China is really all about.

00:29:24.380 Where do you want it?

00:29:24.860 What do you want to do?

00:29:26.220 And definitely not the boring trade war thing.

00:29:28.560 I want.

00:29:29.340 Well, tell me that you got to tell me the exercise.

00:29:30.620 OK, so here's the exercise thing.

00:29:32.420 OK, for the first time in 10 years, new rules on exercising.

00:29:35.660 Remember.

00:29:35.960 I think we're at butter is OK again, aren't we?

00:29:40.220 Butter was OK.

00:29:41.080 Then it was bad.

00:29:41.920 It was really bad.

00:29:42.920 Then it was OK.

00:29:43.700 Then it was bad again.

00:29:44.600 And I think we're back to butter is OK.

00:29:46.440 I think you're right.

00:29:47.180 OK, so it's a little slower.

00:29:49.320 But for the first time in 10 years, they've come up with new exercise guidelines.

00:29:53.780 And when I say they.

00:29:55.960 I would have had to read the story a little bit more deeper to know who they are.

00:29:59.340 But I think we all know that's what they want you to believe.

00:30:03.460 I do think that's the problem with so much of this reporting on especially on health and

00:30:06.880 food and stuff is that it's not necessarily that the study is bad or has no value.

00:30:12.980 It's that the media is so horrible at reporting it where they just take like there's a study

00:30:18.740 on four mice that indicated something slightly change the way you eat.

00:30:22.640 Like that's not what any of those things are supposed to do.

00:30:25.360 Right.

00:30:25.980 OK, and I and this is all framed as good news.

00:30:28.740 OK, the new exercise guidelines aren't increasing the recommended amount of exercise for teens

00:30:36.380 and adults.

00:30:38.460 OK, that sounds like good news.

00:30:40.340 That does, but they're not decreasing them either.

00:30:42.880 Wow. 0.97

00:30:43.720 So that sucks. 0.97

00:30:45.300 However, they do change the definition of exercise a bit. 0.98

00:30:48.600 So it is easier to hit.

00:30:50.720 This comes from the Journal of American Medical Association and the Department of Health and

00:30:54.580 Human Services.

00:30:56.280 And if you're not if you're not hitting the guidelines that were released in 2008, don't

00:31:01.100 feel bad. 0.86

00:31:01.760 Eight in 10 people are like, I don't give a flying crap what they say. 0.89

00:31:05.940 But but here's the subtle but important change. 0.95

00:31:09.200 They no longer define exercise as an activity that lasts at least 10 minutes.

00:31:16.640 So now what how many minutes is it?

00:31:20.040 No, it doesn't just any kind of any kind of heart rate increase.

00:31:23.980 You can count that time for any length of time.

00:31:27.000 So now if that's true, sex counts for most people.

00:31:31.340 There you go.

00:31:32.220 You know, you can I will say, too, I'm I'm not going to start exercising more, but I am

00:31:36.500 going to be closer to the minimum amount of exercise.

00:31:39.460 I need to do correct because zero is closer to whatever they're saying now than 10.

00:31:45.000 Yes.

00:31:46.420 So if you just park a little bit further away.

00:31:51.800 You know, from from your office, that counts now as exercise.

00:31:55.380 And that's a good thing to do if there are no spots that are closer than the one that

00:32:00.360 you're going to.

00:32:01.060 That's right.

00:32:02.060 They say you don't have to go to the gym for 10, 15 or 30 minutes, which I don't have

00:32:07.760 to worry about crossing that off my calendar.

00:32:10.540 Because I'm not doing it now, although that will lower your exercise.

00:32:13.580 Now they're swiping the calendar event off.

00:32:16.700 Right.

00:32:17.380 So I am exercising.

00:32:19.240 Well, no, I can't cross it off.

00:32:20.800 I could put it in and then cross it off.

00:32:22.460 I'm doing double the exercise.

00:32:23.760 They say it's still two to 2.5 to five hours of moderate intensity exercise or 1.25.

00:32:34.140 No, this is per week or 1.25 to 2.5 hours of vigorous intensity exercise per week.

00:32:42.600 Week is the seven day one, right?

00:32:44.920 I know I could watch five hours of television or Netflix, but I can't walk for five hours.

00:32:50.740 That's just, they do keep, I feel like, I don't know if these studies are actually showing

00:32:55.300 this or they're just dumbing it down.

00:32:56.880 Like there was a study that came out a few years ago that said it's as effective to do

00:33:01.760 10 minutes of high intensity exercise as it is to do like 45 minutes to an hour of lower

00:33:08.840 intensity exercise.

00:33:09.980 And that seems like, wow, 10 minutes.

00:33:12.380 Of course I can do 10 minutes.

00:33:14.220 And I don't, I mean, I, that's kind of makes some sense to me like, cause it's high intensity.

00:33:18.320 But the other part of me just thinks they're just like, well, let's get them to do one

00:33:21.540 minute.

00:33:22.160 If we say 10, maybe they'll do one.

00:33:26.240 They're just so round and, and blubbery.

00:33:29.440 Can we at least, you're not all Santa Claus guys.

00:33:32.720 We just don't want to look like the cartoon Wally.

00:33:35.880 You know, you don't want to look, cause I think that's what we're all going to turn into.

00:33:39.480 So when you're, when you're, when you're looking at the high intensity exercise, do you remember

00:33:44.760 when we first met Ray Kurzweil in 2006?

00:33:47.980 Yes.

00:33:48.540 Ray Kurzweil is a, you know, futurist.

00:33:52.180 He's a transhumanist.

00:33:53.600 He is, he takes, there's like 600 tablets of, of different minerals and everything else

00:34:00.660 a day.

00:34:01.240 Yeah.

00:34:01.660 Yeah.

00:34:01.880 He's like, I mean, you'd be swallowing pills all day.

00:34:05.000 Would you get full by that?

00:34:06.140 I don't know.

00:34:06.880 I feel like he wouldn't want to eat anything else.

00:34:08.220 He'd just be filled with pills all the time.

00:34:10.040 So he's taking all of these supplements, uh, every single day and he really watches everything.

00:34:15.620 And he invented this exercise machine that is a total body workout.

00:34:20.700 And, and I remember looking at it and cause he said, you do use it for five days or five

00:34:26.080 minutes a day and you got everything you need.

00:34:28.500 And the guy's in really good shape.

00:34:30.280 And when I met him in 06, uh, he had just started looking at his, about five years before

00:34:37.420 started checking his, uh, his actual physical age, uh, of his tissue.

00:34:44.800 I don't even know how you do this.

00:34:46.020 Uh, but he had gone back eight years in physical age when I had seen him the next time.

00:34:53.940 Uh, this is the thing that's not like the SkyMall magazine, isn't it?

00:34:56.480 It was like one of those devices where you're.

00:34:57.880 It might've been one of those, but he, but I think he came up with it and he uses it

00:35:01.780 every day and everybody then said, Oh no, that's nothing.

00:35:04.460 Cause you can't do it for five minutes and that's, that won't help you at all.

00:35:07.240 And he was a guy going, yeah, no, it helps a lot.

00:35:09.560 Do it.

00:35:11.240 So I'm only fat because the government said I couldn't not be fat in five minutes.

00:35:18.980 I, and that was too late show to blame the government for stuff.

00:35:21.320 So I'm with you on this one.

00:35:22.380 Amen, brother.

00:35:22.940 Thank you very much.

00:35:24.120 Okay.

00:35:25.400 Back in, uh, just a second.

00:35:27.160 As the, uh, program continues, we look at what Facebook is now doing to predict where

00:35:35.400 you're going next.

00:35:37.960 Oh, this sounds like fun.

00:35:39.840 Hello, China and George Orwell's 1984.

00:35:44.240 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:35:52.620 So you have, uh, the, uh, Google, uh, CEO today testifying, uh, before the house judiciary

00:36:19.080 committee and, um, they said, well, you know, you know, we don't have a political agenda.

00:36:27.920 You don't have a political agenda.

00:36:29.680 Really?

00:36:30.680 Did you watch your, your meeting the day after the election when you all got together and

00:36:37.600 said, you know, Hey, we think the world's going in a different direction, but there's

00:36:41.720 more we can do.

00:36:42.660 What are you, what are you talking about?

00:36:44.400 In some ways I almost feel like they actually believe it and that it's not a political agenda.

00:36:48.580 It's just right and wrong.

00:36:50.180 Yeah.

00:36:50.420 It's a religion, right?

00:36:51.620 It's like, you know, it's global warming is a good example of this, right?

00:36:53.820 Like it's, it's not a political agenda to say that when you just spend $500 trillion

00:36:57.880 to stop global warming, it's just, we have to, or we're all going to die.

00:37:00.660 Well, you know what you're not seeing there is there is a political agenda that you're

00:37:04.960 not, no, it's science and we're right.

00:37:07.160 Well, yeah, but you, what you're saying your solution is, there's a lot of debate on that.

00:37:11.660 And, uh, but they don't see it that way.

00:37:14.640 It's the same thing with like, when they're talking about de-platforming people, right?

00:37:17.780 And they're taking, well, you said something that was bad about Sharia law, or you said

00:37:22.560 something that was bad about, uh, transgenderism.

00:37:26.060 Well, they don't see politics in that because it's so obvious what's right and what's wrong

00:37:29.880 to them.

00:37:31.100 They're in a bubble where a hundred percent of the people around them agree.

00:37:34.500 So this is not a political issue. 0.98

00:37:36.200 That's why Jack can go to, uh, to Burma and they're, they're killing Muslims. 1.00

00:37:41.840 They're killing Christians. 1.00

00:37:43.840 They're just, they're erasing the whole populations and he's fine. 1.00

00:37:47.980 He's fine.

00:37:48.600 No, it's beautiful.

00:37:49.160 And I'm here for meditation because, uh, it's a perfect place to meditate and, and figure

00:37:53.780 out what the next good thing is we can do.

00:37:56.220 Well, here, here's an idea.

00:37:57.540 Don't, don't, uh, don't, don't go to Burma.

00:38:00.480 Um, here's an idea.

00:38:01.640 Go to Burma and speak out about the atrocities that are happening.

00:38:04.420 And how's that one, Jack?

00:38:06.080 I mean, I don't need even to meditate on those ones.

00:38:08.400 I got them pretty quickly.

00:38:10.120 Ooh, that one just came to me.

00:38:11.440 Wow.

00:38:11.780 And I'm still not meditating.

00:38:14.040 Um, today, uh, we have Google testifying in front of the house judiciary committee, uh,

00:38:21.580 about what do they do?

00:38:23.820 What is it they do?

00:38:24.920 What are you tracking people?

00:38:27.420 Are you banning people?

00:38:28.420 You blocking people?

00:38:29.440 They're going to bring up today that Google employees sought to block Breitbart from Google

00:38:36.320 AdSense less than a month after president, uh, Donald Trump took office.

00:38:42.020 Now this is, this according to leaked emails, uh, internal emails where they were just saying,

00:38:47.820 we got to stop Breitbart.

00:38:48.860 And that is, that's goes right in line with what, you know, they were talking about in

00:38:56.040 that Google meeting, you know, that big corporate meeting, they were very open about it and it

00:39:01.720 doesn't have to come from the top.

00:39:03.180 It can come from just a group of people.

00:39:05.200 And, you know, in, in a room that just says, Hey, turn this down, turn that down, change

00:39:09.260 the algorithm a little bit.

00:39:10.460 Nobody up in the upper end even needs to know.

00:39:12.400 Not right.

00:39:12.940 Even if it's only one person, right?

00:39:14.800 I mean, you know, we saw that with, what was it?

00:39:16.740 It was on Twitter.

00:39:17.560 Didn't they ban Donald Trump one person on their way out of the building?

00:39:21.200 Cause they were leaving.

00:39:22.160 Yes.

00:39:22.400 And that's a minor example.

00:39:23.440 They were able to turn it around pretty quickly, but of course those people exist.

00:39:26.520 They exist in every organization.

00:39:28.180 Both sides.

00:39:28.680 Yeah. 1.00

00:39:28.920 Especially when you're told all the time that here's a guy who wants to kill all immigrants 0.99

00:39:33.040 and gay people and all the horrible things, you know, that Trump and every Republican 0.99

00:39:37.600 is accused of. 0.98

00:39:38.900 Well, of course you have to stop them.

00:39:40.000 It's the only right thing to do.

00:39:41.300 Right.

00:39:41.680 And it's, and it would happen on both sides.

00:39:43.840 If we had a site, I mean, if we had, if we had a Google or Twitter or Facebook, I imagine

00:39:51.040 that there would be people that would want to do that as well to the other side.

00:39:55.380 We got to stop, got to stop and shut down the Antifa voices because it's just the right 0.84

00:40:00.260 thing to do.

00:40:01.540 Right.

00:40:03.200 So it's human nature and they just like all progressives.

00:40:08.460 They just deny human nature.

00:40:11.140 It's in pretty critical places.

00:40:14.340 Now, Facebook has just filed for a patent to calculate your future location.

00:40:23.000 They have several patent applications for technology.

00:40:30.560 That uses your current location data to predict where you're going and when you're going to

00:40:37.640 be offline.

00:40:38.420 The Facebook spokesperson says that doesn't, just because we filed a patent doesn't mean

00:40:46.320 that we have an, you know, an intent or is any indication that we want to follow you

00:40:51.800 while you're not offline or predict where you're going.

00:40:54.960 Might be a problem with our patent system, by the way, if that is a legitimate excuse.

00:40:59.080 Like, we all know that they do have some use for it, but like you shouldn't be filing

00:41:02.920 patents if you have no intention on ever using them.

00:41:05.880 It's like, oh, well, I came up with an idea that theoretically could be possible.

00:41:09.560 Let me patent it so that someone, when they actually come up with the idea in 20 years,

00:41:12.860 has to pay me a bunch of money or can't use it at all.

00:41:15.920 That's why so many, I mean, this is, that's just a separate issue, but it is a, it is a,

00:41:20.800 it's a bad one in the United States right now.

00:41:22.580 So what it's going to do is it's, it's the, the application is called offline trajectories

00:41:28.680 and it's a method to predict where you're going to go next based on your location data.

00:41:35.440 Technology described in the patent would calculate the transition probability based at least in part

00:41:42.260 on your previously logged location data associated with a plurality of users who were at the current

00:41:54.120 location. It will also use the data of other people, you know, as well as that of strangers to make

00:42:01.620 predictions. So it's going to be able to predict you based on what you've done before.

00:42:08.680 It will also predict you because it will go out and look at your friends and what they've done.

00:42:15.220 But also if I'm reading this right, it will look at your friends and where they are.

00:42:22.840 So if your friends are gathering at some place and you're driving in the general area,

00:42:27.620 likely you're going there.

00:42:32.000 Okay. You're still not convincing me. This is a good use of, uh, of technology.

00:42:36.940 What do you mean? It's just going to make it easier.

00:42:38.920 It's going to make our lives easier. So you get ads in places where you don't even have the internet.

00:42:41.980 That sounds horrible. I don't like when I get them when I do have the internet.

00:42:45.620 No, they just need to know where you are at all times.

00:42:48.060 Oh, that's it.

00:42:49.020 That's it. They just, that's it.

00:42:51.220 Do you, I mean, cause a lot of this stuff is, I've noticed this with like, you know,

00:42:54.680 like Uber and Lyft type of apps and where they will, you know, you go a certain way,

00:42:59.840 a certain amount of times they say, oh, this must be your house. This must be your work.

00:43:03.100 The one that's really funny is the, uh, we have the GPS in my wife's car and it now draws new roads

00:43:09.640 on the map because if we go to a place where they don't have a, um, uh, a road mapped a certain

00:43:16.160 amount of times, it realizes, oh, there must be a road there and then draws the road on the map.

00:43:21.860 It's actually remapping kind of in real time, which was very funny because one time I was driving down

00:43:26.200 the street and I looked over and I saw this circle on the side of the road and it kind of looks like

00:43:30.520 almost like a dirt road when they draw a new road on there. It was a circle. It was like a well-defined

00:43:34.680 circle and there was lines all around it. I'm like, what the heck is that? And I pull up and I

00:43:38.540 realized it was Krispy Kreme. It was where my, my, my wife had gone to Krispy Kreme with a kid so many

00:43:43.120 times. It thought it was a road. It really, it really happened, which is probably not good for

00:43:49.020 the diabetes future of my children. No, but you know what? Seriously, if that happened, think of the,

00:43:55.260 think of the implications. If that happened and you did have a problem with weight or something else

00:44:01.380 and your health insurance would be alerted that you are going to Krispy Kreme a lot.

00:44:07.840 Too many times. Yeah. That's a great point. And that is, that is all, that data is so valuable to

00:44:14.600 them that they will do everything they can to give you things so that you will give that data to them.

00:44:21.160 Right? Like, you know, there's a new, um, uh, Google phone service out. Um, and I, you know,

00:44:26.400 this struck me as interesting as you've been so. Don't do it. Don't do anything. Google do not.

00:44:33.300 Don't have an Android. Don't use Google Chrome. I gotta put you, I keep saying this. I gotta put

00:44:37.660 it in my Google calendar or remind myself to get myself off of Google. I know. Um, but it's true.

00:44:41.840 Like they have, um, the phone service and it had like a, uh, a cool feature to it. I think it was

00:44:45.760 like, there's like thousands of like wifi hotspots that you automatically get access to if you sign up

00:44:50.500 to their plan. And I was thinking to myself, well, you know, I use so much freaking data. It would be

00:44:54.200 great to have, just be able to hop on wifi when you're at some, you know, wherever these things

00:44:58.440 are, it's kind of a cool, it's kind of a cool thing. And you don't have to learn all the passwords.

00:45:02.600 It just automatically does it. And you know, what's great about that is Google pays for all of those

00:45:07.520 access for your data. So they're just paying it out of the goodness of their heart. They just want

00:45:13.040 your life to be easier. And so this giant corporation is just paying those billions of dollars to give you

00:45:19.580 all of those free, uh, wifi hotspots all over the world for everybody because they're just those,

00:45:25.500 they're good. They're good people. Or they found a way to make more money off of you because your

00:45:35.860 information you'll, they'll have greater access to your information. When you think it's the second

00:45:43.160 one still, Hmm. And you're, you're, you're just negative. I just being negative. I know. And

00:45:49.080 it's true. I mean, like, I, I think these things a lot of times do actually make your life better.

00:45:54.840 And because of that, we are losing brave new world. Yeah. You said this before you said this

00:46:00.920 when we were on, we were doing our stage tour, you know, China is doing 1984 and we're doing brave

00:46:05.520 new world. Um, and it's true. We're doing this completely willingly. We're giving them all the

00:46:10.160 technology. We're giving, we're giving them all the information so they can use with their technology

00:46:13.580 and you know, it improves your life by like one 87th of a percent. And we're like, eh, all right.

00:46:19.740 So they know where I am all the time. Right. And, and, and now predictive technology. Remember I told

00:46:25.920 you was yesterday, there was a new thing out now that shows that they can predict. There's this new

00:46:31.440 scan that can predict. They've only tried it on animals where an animal is going to move next.

00:46:36.440 And they, it's a, it's an incredible thing. Just, just look it up through brainwaves,

00:46:40.920 right? Brainwaves. And so they're shooting this thing at an animal and it can see their brain and

00:46:46.520 the way it sees it, it distorts the animal. It actually like sees the movement of the animal

00:46:54.020 before the animal moves. Okay. And they can predict all kinds of behavior on this. Well, this is here,

00:47:01.360 there, here's Google saying, Hey, we're going to have predictive, uh, technology to just

00:47:05.740 based on what we know about you and your friends, et cetera, et cetera, on where you're going.

00:47:11.180 Just look at France. What's happening in France. This is the closest to a revolution that France

00:47:16.080 has had for a long, long, long time. Um, this could end in actual revolution in France.

00:47:24.520 You think with all this technology that the governments are not going to say, Hey, we need

00:47:29.660 to know where these people are. Of course they will. Of course they will. I mean, China's already

00:47:34.420 way down that road. If you tried to have a revolution in China right now, especially in a 0.88

00:47:38.400 major city, you'd have no chance of being able to pull it off. Now, again, like revolutions

00:47:42.220 are a lot of times not so positive, um, but most times, most times, there's one, there's

00:47:48.460 one example I can think of that was pretty good. Yes. Uh, here in America. Yeah. American

00:47:52.980 revolution. I think it's the only one that, that ended this way. Well, ends with the people

00:47:57.020 who started, right? I mean, it's one thing to start with the original goal and the original

00:48:00.740 people. And why a lot of times we saw this in, with the, uh, in Egypt and, and throughout

00:48:04.860 the, the Arab awakening, um, where it was, it winds up being some other powerful group.

00:48:11.200 That's not the first powerful group, but not the kids, the teenagers don't wind up taking

00:48:14.720 over and they're like, Oh, we're really passionate about this this week. And then now we're being

00:48:18.120 crushed by the new government next week. We talked about this yesterday on the news and

00:48:21.780 why it matters that this is what's happening in France could very well be what happened in

00:48:27.700 Hungary. You know, it was, uh, top down, bottom up inside out. And you want that, you want 0.82

00:48:35.500 that, that, that core of protesters to rise, cause chaos in the streets to make everybody

00:48:41.340 say to the government, you got to stop this. And so the government does little do they know

00:48:47.040 the government is not necessarily on their side and it comes down, clamps down and you have

00:48:53.240 communist Hungary. So it had, that's exactly how it happened in the 1950s. They did not

00:48:58.160 want to be a Soviet satellite, but there were riots in the streets and enough people in high

00:49:04.320 places that, uh, said, you know, we've got to do this. We have to do that. And next thing

00:49:09.280 you know, the Soviet tanks are rolling in and they're a communist Soviet satellite. We could 0.85

00:49:15.480 see this except this time they have the technology to stop anybody who is, um, even literally even

00:49:24.600 thinking that that's a good idea. The blaze radio network on demand.
