00:01:30.500 on the Blaze Radio and Television Network prior to this program, also available wherever you find

00:01:36.420 your podcast. Pat, I don't know if you listen to the Megan Kelly show yesterday. Stu, did you?

00:01:42.020 I did hear a good chunk of it. Yeah. Yeah, I listened to all of it this morning when I got up. It is

00:01:47.240 incredible. It is the story of the guy that Don Lemon assaulted in a Hamptons bar. Oh, wow. And

00:01:54.900 you know, I think I've read something about this, but not a lot. It's been around for several months

00:02:01.480 and or several years. Actually, it happened years ago. But you're not hearing anything when you heard

00:02:08.400 anything about Fox. It was everywhere. It was everywhere. But this guy's protected and CNN is

00:02:19.080 protecting him. And I want you to hear the accusation. And there are several witnesses of

00:02:26.820 it. So we know this did happen. And it's true. This guy walks in. His name is Dustin Heiss. He walks

00:02:32.900 into this bar in the Hamptons. He's a bartender. He has the night off. His boss is with him.

00:02:38.400 And they go into this bar. He sees Don Lemon. They're walking by. And he's like, hey, Don,

00:02:43.680 let me buy you a couple of drinks. How about some lemon drops? And Don Lemon said, hey, man,

00:02:50.740 I'm just trying to be left alone. And he's like, cool. Sorry. And walks away. He's standing at the

00:02:57.200 bar. A few minutes later, like 15 or 30 minutes later, Don Lemon walks up to him in the bar.

00:03:03.840 And I'm going to let him describe what happened.

00:03:05.760 So I walk around the bar. And about five minutes goes by. And he walks. He comes around the bar

00:03:12.620 and comes up to me. And he says, pardon my language, but he says, do you like me? Is

00:03:18.640 that why you're with me? And I said, no, I just wanted to say what's up. And I was just like,

00:03:25.240 what's this guy's problem? And I looked at my boss. And in that moment, he puts his hand down his

00:03:33.100 pants and starts aggressively. Can you start that over? You're talking about Don. Go ahead.

00:03:37.640 Yeah. So after he says, are you, do you like me? Is that why you're effing with me? And I said, no,

00:03:43.340 just wanted to say what's up, man. And I look at my boss and I look back and he has his hand in his

00:03:49.120 pants, rubbing himself aggressively. And he shoves his two fingers up underneath my mustache,

00:03:54.840 thrust my head back and says, do you like pussy or dick? And he said it like two or three times after 1.00

00:04:01.560 that. And I just said, what the hell, man? And I just ran out the back door. 0.93

00:04:07.140 So forgive my indelicate question, but when you say he put his hands down his pants,

00:04:13.560 what kind of pants was he wearing? And how do you know what he was doing in there?

00:04:18.260 Well, he was wearing shorts. And I mean, it was pretty obvious to everybody that saw what he did,

00:04:24.980 he was just rubbing himself. And, you know, with impunity, just pushed his hands up under my face

00:04:30.920 enough to thrust my head back. Okay. Stop. So this guy runs out of the bar. He doesn't do anything

00:04:36.800 except leave the bar. He leaves with his boss and they're just standing outside. And he's like,

00:04:42.120 I'm just like shocked. He said, and it's reminded me of me when we had an incident, wasn't sexual in

00:04:49.000 nature, but it was a violent incident. And I, when it happened, I said exactly what he did.

00:04:54.860 Did, did that just happen? Right. Yeah. I was hit by a guy and I'm like, was I just hit by an adult?

00:05:01.560 That's what I said to Pat. The same thing. That's what he said. He's like, did this just happen?

00:05:09.240 And he's like, yeah. And he's like, should I go back in and say something or do something? He's

00:05:14.480 like, no, man, leave it alone. Right. So, well, and as he points out in the interview, what is it,

00:05:19.480 what happens to that story if he goes back in and punches him in the face? Oh, he's right. He's a

00:05:25.020 homophobe, racist, racist, all these things. He's going to, they're going to lose in the 1.00

00:05:30.160 intersectionality battle there. Yeah. So he just leaves. And, uh, he, then the next day he's at

00:05:37.480 his bar cause he's a bartender and Jimmy Fallon is at the bar and there, you know, Jimmy is apparently

00:05:44.420 a very nice guy and knows everybody. And, and, uh, he was, uh, talking to him and one

00:05:50.200 of the guys said, Hey, did you hear what happened, uh, to, uh, Dustin with Don Lemon last night?

00:05:55.080 And he's like, no. And, uh, they start telling him the story and, uh, Fallon looks at him and

00:06:00.800 goes, geez, why would he, what? I'm sorry that happened. And that's interesting because

00:06:05.800 in theory he would be able to testify that that story was told in the next day, next day.

00:06:11.620 Yeah. And this is by the way, the Hamptons. So, you know, lots of rich people, lots of

00:06:16.600 celebrities, celebrities, and they're all protecting themselves. It seems like a bizarre situation

00:06:20.600 where like Don Lemon's in a bar one night and Jimmy Fallon's in the next night, but that's

00:06:23.940 somewhat regular in that area. And, and it is a very tight community. Uh, one guy spoke

00:06:31.080 out, uh, in his defense, uh, and his employer found out about it and they fired him. He was

00:06:38.160 a private chef or some celebrity and they heard that he had spoken out against Don Lemon

00:06:43.920 and fired him for it. This guy, he said, at first, I didn't know what to do. I just kind

00:06:51.020 of laughed about it. He said, but as the summer went on, I became the laughing stock of the

00:06:56.460 community. He said, every bar I walked into, they're like, Hey, how about a couple of lemon

00:07:00.140 drops? Uh, and, uh, he was constantly mocked about it. And I don't know if it was necessarily,

00:07:08.740 uh, mocking, like making fun of him, but bringing up a bad incident in your life.

00:07:16.080 He didn't want to be known as that guy. Uh, and, and also he talks about it. He said,

00:07:21.940 you know, I felt, you know, afterwards I felt like my manhood was challenged. And as somebody

00:07:26.960 who is a, a lifetime weenie, uh, uh, I can tell you that I don't have the ability to punch

00:07:38.080 back. I mean, if somebody was like doing that to me, I, it wouldn't even occur to me to punch

00:07:43.540 back because, or to punch, because I don't, I don't even know how to, I think I would hurt

00:07:47.840 my hand. This is why I carry a gun. Right. I would, it is. It's what I would throw a punch

00:07:52.960 and I know I would be like, ow. And everybody who witnessed it would go, that's how you throw

00:07:59.020 a punch. Okay. We've seen you throw a ball and that's how we were exactly what we said

00:08:03.560 to you about that. Okay. So it's really bad. And as somebody who has, you know, uh, doesn't

00:08:11.580 have a lot of masculinity in the first place because of things like that and made fun of

00:08:16.100 as a kid, that would really bother me walking out and then not doing it. And then everybody

00:08:22.880 going like, Oh, you know, you're the lemon drop. It would have bothered me that I didn't

00:08:27.720 do anything. Well, he said he was trying to get past it until he heard Don Lemon give this

00:08:35.920 monologue.

00:08:36.820 There is no standard way survivors talk about sexual assault. It isn't always a police phone

00:08:42.900 call and a rape kit or a report filed with HR. Sometimes they don't talk at all for years,

00:08:50.720 even decades. Sometimes a little comes out in a conversation with a friend, a partner or

00:08:55.940 a doctor. And sometimes it comes out all at once. Why is it so hard to talk about? Well,

00:09:02.960 part of it is fear and part of it is doubt. Will I be believed? Will I be blamed? Will I have

00:09:11.580 evidence? Do I have to relive what happened? Will everyone judge me? And if I speak out,

00:09:20.200 will it even matter? People are tricky characters. Innocent until proven guilty must remain the law

00:09:28.340 of the land. But at the same time, some guilty people do cloak themselves in innocence. Remember,

00:09:35.240 after all, Bill Cosby was America's dad not so long ago. Are we interested in truth? Are we

00:09:43.360 interested in healing? Or is there, as there always seems to be these days, a political game being

00:09:50.960 played with people's lives? Okay. So he said, I couldn't do it. He's like, this guy is making him,

00:09:59.080 he said, he had to move away from the Hamptons. He moved back to Florida. He's like, I couldn't take

00:10:05.560 it anymore. And I just wanted to start my life over again. And so he moved back. And he said,

00:10:11.200 then that monologue happened. And he's like, this guy is holding himself up as being the pillar of

00:10:17.680 virtue and the Me Too movement against sexual harassment. And that's what he did to me. And he's,

00:10:24.620 and so his lawyers came up with a hundred, uh, sorry, $1.5 million to sue him civilly.

00:10:30.980 And he said in it, it's not about the money because she said, is there anything you would

00:10:36.060 settle for? And he said, uh, it would have to start with an apology and an admission of guilt.

00:10:42.440 He said, that's all I want is that I did that and it was wrong. And I apologize. And, uh,

00:10:50.280 that's the one thing lemon's not willing to do. CNN is smearing Dustin. Yeah. Uh, and I just,

00:10:57.440 I just, I think this is a really important story for a couple of reasons. Uh, one, uh, it's a horrible

00:11:06.580 story for, for Dustin Heiss. And it's an important story that these people can't sweep these celebrities.

00:11:13.760 What's the difference between this and, uh, and what's his name? The guy in Hollywood that did it for

00:11:19.720 all those years and everybody knew Harvey Weinstein. Harvey Weinstein. Well, no, no, no, no, wait,

00:11:23.700 wait, wait, wait. I know, I know on the levels, but sure their responsibility, they know this guy,

00:11:30.440 they know Don Lemon has done this and they're protecting him because he's part of their group.

00:11:37.340 Okay. It's the same thing when people see things and they're in their group, they don't say anything.

00:11:44.280 So me too means nothing. The second thing is this is CNN protecting Don Lemon, Cuomo and Jeffrey

00:11:56.120 Toobin. It is becoming a, a sick sexual club. It does seem to be the, uh, I don't know if it's 0.98

00:12:06.820 the price to get in. Maybe it's like one of those situations. It's, it's pretty creepy. I have one

00:12:11.860 other quick detail here, Glenn. I don't know if Pat, if you heard this either. Uh, he said that

00:12:15.540 Don Lemon has already offered him $500,000 for this to go away. Wow. So like that was really

00:12:22.140 compelling evidence that this did happen. Oh yeah. Uh, we know what's going to happen. It did happen.

00:12:27.040 You know, it's such a weird and sick thing to do to somebody that, you know, he didn't start with

00:12:34.360 that. That didn't, didn't just, that wasn't the first time it happened. He said anybody that acts

00:12:39.940 like that in public with, without any fear of what it might do to somebody or the consequences

00:12:45.140 it might have. That's a pattern. Yep. He's done it before. He's done something similar.

00:12:50.600 And again, we're talking about arrogance. Yeah. The arrogance, the arrogance of Cuomo on night

00:12:58.000 after night, after night, talking as a hero and a champion of women when he has sexually,

00:13:04.760 uh, uh, uh, uh, harassed, uh, a, a boss, as soon as she wasn't his boss, she, he harassed her. Um, 0.99

00:13:13.600 and, and he's held up as a champion to be the guy writing the words for his brother

00:13:19.920 and saying, I'm not involved at all in any of this. And it's all sexual harassment for Jeffrey

00:13:26.800 Toobin to, to, to do that. How can anyone look at him seriously? How could any woman that's working 1.00

00:13:39.380 at CNN look at him and not think of him in the corner of their screen masturbating? And now Don 0.99

00:13:48.020 Lemon look in their arrogance, they will fail. They are getting so arrogant, so arrogant. There's a 0.99

00:13:59.940 dark side to that, but the only thing that happens is failure with stupid and criminal arrogance. 1.00

00:14:11.560 Failure follows every time. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. 1.00

00:14:22.440 Andy McCarthy is, uh, with us, friend of the program. How are you, Andy?

00:14:27.320 I'm doing great, Glenn. How are you?

00:14:28.780 I am good. So I am, I am seeing a collision course here of arrogance and lies, uh, coming up right up

00:14:39.540 against the truth. And I'd like to get your opinion on, on these three stories and tell me what's

00:14:45.100 really happening. And can we start with the Rittenhouse trial? Sure. Okay. I want to play

00:14:52.960 you some testimony from the Rittenhouse trial that came out yesterday. Uh, here it is.

00:15:00.920 Cut four.

00:15:01.660 Right. Correct. It wasn't until you pointed your gun at him, advanced on him with your gun,

00:15:10.940 now your hands down, pointed at him that he fired, right? Correct. Okay. So this is the prosecutor's

00:15:21.160 case, the prosecutor's case. Um, and this is, I think the third witness that has shown that

00:15:28.980 there he, this was clearly self-defense, you know, one, one was like, he only shot when the other guy

00:15:37.100 lunged for his, his, uh, rifle. Uh, you know, this guy was pointing a gun at, at Kyle Rittenhouse.

00:15:45.320 And that's when he shot him. Uh, I've never seen the prosecution put people on that should be for

00:15:52.560 the defense ever before in my life. Have you not to this degree. And I think Glenn, you know,

00:16:02.120 there's two alarming things that are going on here, which ought to upset people. One is there's

00:16:08.820 obviously a divide that makes, that should make you busy between what goes on in today's prosecutor's

00:16:19.080 offices where social justice is as important as constitutional justice in determining who gets

00:16:27.240 charged and with what, because this is a case I think where the prosecution was clearly driven by

00:16:32.820 the mob to bring a charge that shouldn't have been brought. And then the disconnect is in the four

00:16:38.400 corners of a trial. If the judge is doing his job and applying the law, then constitutional law still

00:16:45.160 applies. So when you try, when you take a case that should never been a case in the first place,

00:16:50.940 it's one thing to say a bunch of stuff about it in the media. It's quite another thing to bring it

00:16:56.100 into court. And as you're seeing what happens in court, where they have to prove beyond a reasonable

00:17:00.720 doubt that the person they charged with murder committed murder, the case is collapsing.

00:17:08.020 Collapsing in a spectacular fashion. I mean, I'm hearing the testimony, you know,

00:17:13.800 the prosecution, when that guy said that yesterday, just put his head in his hands.

00:17:18.680 I mean, it was a, it was a moment of incredible defeat. And I, I, I mean, I just feel like I know

00:17:25.860 it won't happen, but I've just feel like the judge should be saying, what the hell is this even in

00:17:29.860 my courtroom for? That's hopefully that's the question he'll ask at the end of the prosecutor's

00:17:37.540 presentation. Once they've decided to go forward with the trial, I guess they have to let the

00:17:43.140 prosecutors try to make their case or at least finish their presentation. But there is a point

00:17:48.820 of law in a trial where the defense gets to move for dismissal of the case before they have to put

00:17:54.520 on any evidence or decide whether to do anything. And so hopefully the case will end then.

00:18:01.020 Do you think it will? Do you think, do you think that will happen?

00:18:04.920 I think that there is at least one misdemeanor charge, which involves, and this is a vague charge

00:18:14.480 that the judge may throw out for legal reasons, but if he allows that to survive, there's an argument

00:18:19.000 that the jury should resolve whether Rittenhouse is guilty of possessing a gun illegally because he was

00:18:27.640 under 18 under the statute. But it's, the statute is very clumsily written. It's not clear it applies

00:18:33.560 to him, but that's the only charge that I can see so far that you could make an argument that the,

00:18:39.080 you know, maybe the jury should resolve that, but the murder counts, they should go.

00:18:44.080 So what does this tell you about Keith Ellison, who took and ratcheted the charges up to murder?

00:18:54.680 Well, you have to look at the murder statute that is involved. You're talking about Ellison,

00:19:01.600 um, Keith Ellison, the attorney general. Yeah. You know, I, I think for example, when you looked at

00:19:09.040 the, um, he was the attorney general in the Chauvin trial in, yeah. Was it, so am I talking

00:19:15.960 about a different case? Yeah. No, that's Minnesota. So who was the, who was the, it was the lead

00:19:22.920 prosecutor or the, somebody above the team, uh, came in and said, ratchet it up. And I, I was thinking

00:19:31.280 it was Keith Ellison, but I was in the wrong state. Yeah. Well, it's a good argument that

00:19:35.140 Ellison did that too, but, um, the, the, uh, I don't know what the name of the prosecutor is,

00:19:41.220 but the phenomenon you're talking about certainly happened, which is that the mob

00:19:44.820 pushed for these charges. And the thing is justice in a courtroom is not a morality play. You know,

00:19:52.680 you may look at the world and decide that we have, uh, endemic racism. And you may decide that

00:20:00.120 there's a lot of things that are bad that are unrelated to murder. Like, you know, a 17 year

00:20:04.640 old kid shouldn't have been out on the street in a melee like that. Um, you, you can have all those

00:20:09.420 views, but in a courtroom, the issue is the charges that you bring. Can the prosecutors prove the elements

00:20:17.980 of those charges beyond a reasonable doubt. And all the noise is supposed to be tuned out while we

00:20:23.120 decide those very important questions. Prosecutors are supposed to analyze those questions

00:20:28.660 objectively and dispassionately before they bring charges. But what you're seeing is that political

00:20:35.540 pressures being brought to bear on the prosecutors to bring the charges and look, sometimes they get

00:20:41.140 away with it in court. I think there's a lot of things that happened, uh, in the Chauvin trial that

00:20:46.740 we just alluded to that were very disturbing. And that case may be held up on appeal, but he's got

00:20:52.840 a lot of, uh, arguments to make about due process. All right. Um, I'm going to take a quick break.

00:20:58.380 First of all, this is a federal prosecution because it's murder charges state state. So can the feds come

00:21:04.600 in after this, if this is dismissed and recharge him? I don't see any evidence of a civil rights

00:21:12.180 violation, Glenn, but that would have to be there. That would have to be their basis for coming in.

00:21:16.420 I don't see it. Andy McCarthy is a former assistant U S attorney for the Southern district of New

00:21:22.240 York. He was the guy who led the prosecution in 1995, uh, on the first world trade center bombing,

00:21:30.280 uh, and the planning of a series of tax on a New York city landmarks. Uh, he has also, uh, been, uh,

00:21:38.740 um, contributor to the prosecutions on many, many terrorists. He resigned from the justice department

00:21:45.520 in 2003. Um, and as a, as a trusted, uh, uh, friend and guide here on some of these things,

00:21:52.960 um, Andy, let's, let's go to the Durham case. I had given up hope that anything was going to happen.

00:22:02.060 Now I'm not so sure. Can you tell me what you know about, uh, what the, um, what the indictments

00:22:12.940 mean and where you think they're headed? Glenn, it looks like the two indictments that have been

00:22:19.600 filed in the last six weeks, one against the Clinton campaign's lawyer, uh, Michael Sussman,

00:22:25.240 or one of the lawyers. And now this other one against this guy, Igor Danchenko, who was the main

00:22:30.400 source for the infamous steel dossier. Uh, they're very descriptive in terms of the narrative,

00:22:37.620 even though the charges are, you know, pretty pedestrian. They're, you know, lying to FBI

00:22:43.580 agents, but he lays out a theory where it looks to me like where he's going is that the Trump Russia

00:22:52.280 collusion storyline was essentially a concoction of the Clinton campaign, which not only formulated it

00:23:01.760 through the steel dossier, among other things, uh, but peddled it out to the media and to an all too

00:23:08.060 credulous FBI, which enabled them to argue that to the electorate, that Trump was a Putin puppet and that

00:23:17.380 he was under investigation by the FBI for being a Putin puppet. So I think that's what happened here. And

00:23:23.780 the issue has always been, is the government in on it or is, are they, uh, dupes? And Durham seems to

00:23:33.020 be going with the theory in these cases that the FBI was duped. I don't believe that for, well, yeah,

00:23:40.380 I, I've always thought they were pushing on an open door and let's not forget we have a, when I say

00:23:45.560 pushing on an open door, I'm saying the people who brought this anti-Trump information to the FBI,

00:23:50.140 these guys were predisposed against Trump and they figured that if they investigated long enough,

00:23:55.220 the evidence would bear out their predisposition. I think that's what happened, but that's a different

00:24:00.420 thing from saying that they, that they committed a fraud on the court. Um, and I think, uh, what about

00:24:06.780 the Pfizer stuff? Yeah, well, look, I think, um, what they did here was utterly irresponsible because

00:24:16.340 they didn't corroborate the information they brought to the Pfizer court. I would point out

00:24:20.980 that what they bring to the Pfizer court is called technically a verified application, which they make

00:24:27.600 under oath. And the reason for that is because they're supposed to corroborate the information

00:24:31.940 before they go to court here. They didn't interview Danchenko who was the main source until January of

00:24:39.380 2017, when they first went to court in October of 2016. And by the time they interviewed the source,

00:24:46.660 they're looking for their second 90 day warrant. So it's outrageous. It looks as though, uh, they,

00:24:53.380 they knew though, by 2017, uh, it, it, the, the, it looks as though now that in 2017, the Washington

00:25:03.600 Post knew, uh, and it was kind of an open secret in, uh, in the media, but they all continued to do

00:25:13.600 it. What does that tell you? Well, it, it, it, it, from Durham's perspective, I think what it

00:25:20.520 indicates is that the reason that Barr made him a special counsel. And remember when he started this

00:25:28.080 investigation, he was the U S attorney in Connecticut. So he's just like a regular federal

00:25:33.200 prosecutor. Barr put him in the same designation class as Mueller. And I think he did that because

00:25:40.420 he recognized that there was a lot of abuse of power here and a lot of potential corruption here,

00:25:46.180 but that it might be hard to charge a lot of it as criminal activity, but a special counsel is

00:25:53.560 allowed to write a narrative report at the end, unlike normal prosecutors who just drop cases that

00:25:59.020 they can't, where they can't bring criminal charges. So I think we're going to get a report

00:26:03.280 and it'll be comprehensive. And what Durham's going to end up saying is that the Clinton had been,

00:26:08.540 the Clinton, uh, campaign is the main culprit here, but that the FBI was utterly irresponsible

00:26:16.120 in how they handled the allegations. So is anyone from the Clinton campaign? I mean,

00:26:21.380 is Clinton going to pay at all? Is there going to be any real ramifications on this?

00:26:28.000 Well, I think only in the sense that, you know, there'll be a historical document that lays this

00:26:32.820 at her feet. And you know, what I, what I always say when I get asked a question like that is,

00:26:37.480 um, we're not in the first year of the second term of president Hillary Clinton. I mean, it's not like

00:26:45.340 she hasn't, uh, you know, it's not like nothing happened here. She didn't get elected. Uh, so

00:26:50.780 there's some justice in that, but you know, look, I think if people want to see, uh, you know, a bells

00:26:56.940 and whistles indictment and people get drawn and quartered at the end, they should disenthrall

00:27:01.060 themselves because that's not going to happen. So people have asked me, why isn't this a coup?

00:27:06.400 Why isn't this an attempted coup? They knew what was going on and they, all they were trying to do

00:27:12.080 is to get the president either impeached, thrown out, stopped, whatever. Why isn't that a coup?

00:27:19.880 Well, I mean, for, for sort of as Trump did win the election, you know, the, the objective was to

00:27:25.180 stop him from winning the election and he did win. Yeah. But then when they knew they continued

00:27:29.820 with the impeachment and everything else. Yeah, no. And look, I think it's fair to say

00:27:35.120 that the law enforcement and intelligence apparatus of the government was used

00:27:42.000 as a weapon by the incumbent Obama administration and the holdovers from the Obama administration

00:27:47.640 who continued into the Trump administration to try to take Trump out. Uh, I guess it's not a coup

00:27:52.900 cause they didn't succeed, but that doesn't mean they didn't try. So no punishment for an attempted

00:27:58.920 coup. It depends on whether that's gone. It depends on whether they can find that he committed that

00:28:04.860 they committed criminal violations and gross incompetence and political dirty tricks are

00:28:11.960 reprehensible, but they're not necessarily violations of the criminal law. That's why,

00:28:15.820 for example, with impeachment, we don't require a crime for impeachment, right? Because a lot of times

00:28:22.040 very serious misbehavior is not misbehavior that's addressed by the penal code.

00:28:26.820 So even the fact, I have one minute and I got a break and I want to hold you over because I have

00:28:30.920 one more case that I think is, um, uh, the undoing of a lot of stuff. Um, the, uh, um, shoot. Now I

00:28:39.520 lost my, my train of thought. Uh, even the fact that the president, now this goes to the impeachment

00:28:45.280 trial that president Obama met with Joe Biden and they colluded against general Flynn, uh, against the FBI,

00:28:54.820 even that that's not illegal. Well, I, I think it could arguably have been illegal, but Barr said

00:29:02.380 during the Trump administration that, that Obama and Biden were not subject to the investigation.

00:29:08.560 So, you know, they decided that I guess a higher standard should apply if the law enforcement is

00:29:15.260 going to have impact on the politics. The best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:29:24.820 Yesterday at this time, Stu, uh, Stu, uh, asked a question, um, because he was noticing a trend in

00:29:43.940 our society, by the way, Bitcoin still at its highest level, isn't it? 67 real cool. Yeah. Really

00:29:50.680 close. I think it's 68 and change last night for an all time high, but it's at right around 67,000

00:29:56.040 right now. Incredible. Um, and you started on, on not Bitcoin, but cryptocurrency. So re lay it out

00:30:04.080 again. One of the things that, that sparked this was a tweet from Mark Cuban who noted that according

00:30:11.200 to a poll, 4% of people have left their job due to cryptocurrency profits. And you know, you might look

00:30:18.440 at that and say, okay, well, they made a lot of money. They can leave their job. However, the vast

00:30:22.500 majority of them were people who made less than the average salary. They were people who were making

00:30:26.540 like 25 to $35,000 a year in that range. And we were talking about this a little bit about the sort

00:30:34.980 of weird incentive. Our society is currently sending to people. I mean, if you think about gambling as a

00:30:43.700 whole, why don't you do it? Right. Everyone loves to win a gambling. Why don't you do it?

00:30:48.760 Because you could lose everything. Because you could lose everything. Right. But what if you

00:30:53.080 couldn't lose everything? What if the government set a floor where you, that you couldn't pass below?

00:31:00.800 So this is the argument that we made against TARP. Against TARP. Right. Because you're incentivizing

00:31:06.280 riskier behavior. Because if you don't, if you socialize losses and privatize gains, you're setting

00:31:13.540 up a really bad system. Correct. And if you think for the, for the average person, or maybe someone

00:31:20.140 who's maybe earning enough money to keep themselves alive, but not enough money to give them the life

00:31:26.940 that they want financially, you might look at yourself and say, okay, I'm making $25,000 a year. I don't have

00:31:32.780 a lot of money. Why wouldn't I take a little, whatever extra money I do wind up getting a lot

00:31:37.540 of times in government handouts, stimulus payments. Why wouldn't I throw that at the riskiest possible

00:31:43.560 thing and get 10, 20, 30 X if I'm lucky. And if not, I'm left basically in the same position I'm

00:31:51.720 already in with a floor that the government is going to provide me with handouts and giveaways

00:31:55.840 that I can't pass below. So if you already think your life isn't that great, why would you save

00:32:02.660 why would you even, you know, make it rational purchases, save for a rainy day, pay some healthcare

00:32:10.420 bill off when in reality, uh, the government's going to, going to catch you there anyway.

00:32:16.300 And it creates this weird society that has the same problems as the banks had. If you hit on some

00:32:23.120 dog cryptocurrency and it goes up a hundred times, you get to keep that money. But if you miss it,

00:32:29.140 you could still get the handouts from the government on the other side.

00:32:31.680 Okay. So I said, you're not going to like the, the answer to this, um, yesterday. And let me give

00:32:37.960 you the historic context on this history is not, it does not just repeat itself. It is repeating

00:32:44.880 itself right now. Um, and it more than rhymes. Think about what you're asking. You're, you're asking,

00:32:52.280 and especially if by 2030, the 30 year old will have no recollection of America at all before nine 11.

00:33:06.400 Okay. 30 year olds. Okay. When, when I'm 30, you're, you're starting to shape society at that point.

00:33:14.820 Okay. Uh, you are the movers and shakers 30 year olds. This has happened before. Um, our nine 11

00:33:25.300 was world war one to the Germans world war one. Everything was, was okay in Germany. Um, and they 0.99

00:33:37.660 understood the Republic and everything else. They had some real rot there. Um, but the, you know,

00:33:44.260 the churches and everybody got on board and rah, rah Germany, and let's go in God's on our side. And

00:33:50.440 once, uh, once, uh, world war one ended and it was such a humiliating loss, the, the, the Republic kind

00:34:00.540 of split and it split between the people who were part of the old guard. Okay. The older people and

00:34:06.500 the younger people who really didn't know the Republic the way the older people did. Okay.

00:34:15.660 And then they had all kinds of problems. They had financial problems, et cetera, et cetera. Uh,

00:34:20.360 and then it seemed as though those financial problems were kind of a thing of the past because

00:34:25.440 there was this new era in Germany, it's called Weimar. Okay. And the Weimar Republic was all about,

00:34:33.160 uh, twisted, uh, views on everything, uh, and drugs were free flowing and sex and, and cabarets and,

00:34:43.500 and all of this stuff. The average person couldn't keep up with it because the average person had a

00:34:50.680 family. And so they had to take their money and leave the office and go to the grocery store and

00:34:57.940 cash their check as soon as they could. Okay. They got to the point where you were paid twice a day

00:35:03.280 and everyone would leave, go shopping, come back, get another paycheck, go shopping. Okay. That's how

00:35:10.700 bad it was because of the inflation, because of the inflation. Here's the difference. The average person

00:35:17.520 that had a family had to do that. The average 20 something didn't, the average 20 something that

00:35:25.420 didn't have any children got rich because when everybody else went shopping, they went out,

00:35:32.600 grabbed something, but then they went to the stock market today's Bitcoin and they put it all in

00:35:40.300 Bitcoin. They put it all. And the, the society had changed in, in a way that would have been

00:35:48.360 completely unrecognizable to the old guard and bankers were now 25 years old. People were Titans

00:35:57.060 and they became very, very powerful and very wealthy because the average German, uh, was,

00:36:04.260 was fighting for their life with their family and also part of the old guard. And so this new kind of

00:36:11.060 group rose up that I think is our 20 somethings and 30 somethings right now. Um, and it came with

00:36:19.960 great arrogance. Okay. And they just knew they were right. Get out of here, old man. Does any of this

00:36:27.300 sound familiar, get out of here, old man, it's a new world. And they had great arrogance to get

00:36:33.800 inflation under control. Germany, uh, elected a new prime minister who came in and figured out how to

00:36:43.060 reset the Reich mark and he reset it and he was old guard and he came in and he was the same kind of

00:36:52.980 guy that you and I would probably vote for, uh, because they were like, uh, he understands Germans

00:36:59.580 and he understands Germany. Okay. And thank God we're going back. So he was in charge and things

00:37:06.340 were starting to really come back, but there was another problem as it was coming back to the old

00:37:12.820 Germany and common sense was being restored. All of the kids, all of the young people that had gotten 0.98

00:37:19.260 rich and powerful, they're suddenly losing their jobs to the old guys again. They're suddenly kind of 1.00

00:37:26.000 in this, this place to where now they're on the receiving end of, of things. Socialism is rising up at

00:37:35.180 the same time. And socialism says, we'll take care of all of it. All of it. National socialism is part of

00:37:42.940 it. Most Germans don't want the Nazis, the ones who were the most favorable for the Nazis.

00:37:49.240 were the young that had become wildly successful because they saw that the Nazis were all in a 0.88

00:37:58.360 hierarchy that you could kind of buy your way in or move in and kind of muscle people. It was just for

00:38:05.540 the meanest of the mean. And so if you were ruthless, like our left is becoming now, if you were ruthless,

00:38:13.640 there was a place for you and, uh, you could be, you could be rich and powerful. You just work with

00:38:21.700 them. Okay. Then the prime minister was, uh, he, I think he died of a heart attack. He dies. Now we go to

00:38:32.800 a vote. Hitler wins because socialism, socialism is important. 30% of the population voted for the Nazis. 0.78

00:38:43.620 And I believe a lot of those people also just kind of voted for socialism. It was this new idea.

00:38:51.380 It was happening over in Italy. And there were tons of people that wanted a different world and they

00:38:59.500 no longer understood what it was to be a German. Okay. They had this new definition of a German.

00:39:08.580 So let me world war one in that story is our nine 11. The Weimar Republic is really kind of right now,

00:39:19.180 uh, where things, the truth doesn't matter anymore. All of the old things are just being rejected

00:39:24.900 because they're old. Uh, and, uh, you know, Hey boomer, that kind of attitude. Um, they are also,

00:39:32.020 you have people who are doing really risky things. That was the big thing in Weimar. If you had the

00:39:38.300 money, you're doing really risky things. Um, the next crash, the next crash is coming and we will have

00:39:48.520 the downside of the downside of the Weimar Republic with inflation. There's two Americas and you see 0.51

00:39:56.620 them. One that says hard work, ethics, ethical behavior, truth, put those things back in place and

00:40:09.040 we'll be fine. The other side is doubling down. They're becoming more and more extreme and they

00:40:19.540 care less and less about the people who disagree with them. We are repeating exactly the same pattern

00:40:28.280 thing. And you have to decide right now, which side you're on because of what Stu just pointed out. We will

00:40:39.020 most likely all of us, and I include me in this most likely all of us are going to struggle to put food

00:40:45.920 on our table at some point. If they change the dollar to a Fed coin, if the world stops using our dollar as

00:40:55.460 the reserve currency, which is likely to happen, experts will tell you, no, I'm telling you it's likely to

00:41:02.580 happen. When that happens, we will all have trouble putting food on our table. And with the things that this

00:41:10.460 administration is doing to our farmers, to our entire system through the Great Reset, it's going to be a tough

00:41:18.100 slog. And we're going to need each other or we will turn to the government. A lot will turn to the

00:41:28.820 government. They're counting on it.
