The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guest： Ben Shapiro ｜ 2⧸1⧸24

00:00:00.000 Still, I mean, I think, I mean, we might have hit the limit on sarcasm today.

00:00:08.540 Our FDA allotment was exceeded.

00:00:11.060 I don't, I'm not sure if the audience likes the sarcasm.

00:00:16.360 I mean, you wouldn't like the show today if you don't get sarcasm.

00:00:19.660 You'd be like, Glenn's for what?

00:00:21.680 Because it took me about, oh, I don't know, an hour and a half before I could handle actually speaking like a decent human being

00:00:29.000 about the facts of the day.

00:00:30.440 It took about an hour and a half for you to say something you actually believed.

00:00:33.180 It was all sarcasm until that point.

00:00:35.140 Yeah, because it's like my go-to, let's not go insane device.

00:00:40.720 You know what I mean?

00:00:41.080 It's a defense mechanism.

00:00:42.280 Yeah, yeah.

00:00:43.060 In an insane world, you have to just adopt the other side's insanity and just run with it. 0.66

00:00:48.560 Yeah.

00:00:48.780 It makes you feel better.

00:00:49.820 Right.

00:00:50.160 And so you say things that, you know, if people don't understand sarcasm, they think you mean, by the way, lover.

00:00:56.920 Oh, thanks, Glenn.

00:00:59.200 Let's get to the podcast brought to you by Jace Medical.

00:01:03.420 Jace Medical and the Jace case.

00:01:05.320 We've been talking to you about it for a while.

00:01:07.460 You know there's critical shortages of drugs, Stu.

00:01:09.760 Did you know that?

00:01:11.100 Yes.

00:01:11.640 Yeah.

00:01:11.880 Over 290 or something?

00:01:14.120 Yeah.

00:01:14.300 Yeah.

00:01:14.780 Some of them, not pot.

00:01:17.320 No.

00:01:17.720 Or fentanyl or heroin.

00:01:19.580 We've got lots of that.

00:01:20.680 Yeah.

00:01:21.000 Lots of that coming across the border.

00:01:22.280 There seems to be no infrastructure shortage of those drugs, which is weird.

00:01:28.040 But there's 294 drugs that now are not available where they should be in America.

00:01:33.720 Jace makes a personalized emergency medication kit.

00:01:37.220 The first one is the Jace case.

00:01:38.480 Five essential antibiotics.

00:01:40.300 You can have them at home.

00:01:41.800 So if you need them, you have it.

00:01:43.460 Also, if you go online, you fill out a form for all the prescriptions that you take for your family.

00:01:49.580 They're life-saving medications, and they will be delivered right to your door.

00:01:54.060 So whatever your family is taking, check and make sure that Jace has it.

00:01:58.360 Jace could fulfill all of your needs and have those things in your kitchen counter for up to a year.

00:02:05.680 That is, I think, truly remarkable, because that's the only thing I couldn't figure out as a prepper.

00:02:14.180 And, Stu, by the way, if there's ever trouble, you are so invited to come up to the place.

00:02:21.380 I've got you, your family, your friends.

00:02:24.720 Oh, thanks.

00:02:25.240 I probably won't bother preparing myself if I could just come to you.

00:02:29.100 Oh, no, that's okay.

00:02:30.300 Oh, good.

00:02:30.940 Oh, great.

00:02:31.380 Thank you.

00:02:50.580 You're listening to the Best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:55.420 All right, I just want to go through some of the headlines today,

00:02:58.500 because we have a president who is absolutely on the ball,

00:03:01.900 and he's done everything he could for the border,

00:03:05.300 and he can do no more without his special emergency powers.

00:03:09.500 And I think the president is, yes, he is wonderful, and no, you're exiting the wrong way.

00:03:17.840 No, sir, turn around.

00:03:21.540 Turn around.

00:03:21.940 No, not towards the back of the...

00:03:24.200 Okay.

00:03:24.520 Anyway, let me just tell you the America that we have today.

00:03:28.900 Let me go through some of the headlines today.

00:03:34.440 Biden gun rule being drafted to effectively ban private sales of all guns.

00:03:41.080 That's good.

00:03:41.520 Federal judge rules California ammunition background checks unconstitutional.

00:03:45.640 Thank God.

00:03:45.980 But speaking of that, Sotomayor has admitted now that she's traumatized, quote,

00:03:53.020 traumatized every time conservatives win a court case.

00:03:56.460 I live in frustration.

00:03:59.000 Wow, that doesn't seem really impartial there, does it?

00:04:03.240 And by the way, Sotomayor, it's definitely, it was absolutely, positively,

00:04:09.760 definitely not her office that was the source of the leak of the Dobbs abortion case.

00:04:14.220 I just want to point that out.

00:04:15.840 Definitely not Sotomayor's people.

00:04:19.920 Biden finally getting around to visiting East Palestine, which is great.

00:04:24.460 I think, again, he was probably a little confused on...

00:04:29.100 I love the Palestinians.

00:04:32.540 And I'm...

00:04:33.220 I didn't know they had a train accident there.

00:04:37.700 He will not say, however, if he's going to drink the water in East Palestine.

00:04:42.980 A verdict in the New York civil fraud case is coming next week.

00:04:47.980 I'm all a tingle.

00:04:49.720 Everybody's talking about it.

00:04:51.220 We've got our champagne Reddit open up when the judge says, yes, yes, Donald Trump committed

00:04:58.560 fraud and they give him, they give like a, I don't know, take like another $350 million

00:05:03.600 from him.

00:05:04.860 Oh, I'm so excited.

00:05:06.460 Let's all go shopping.

00:05:08.000 Oh, wait a minute.

00:05:09.320 No, I'm on the other side.

00:05:10.660 Trump's next legal challenge could be about his Chicago skyscraper.

00:05:15.520 Don't worry.

00:05:16.400 Don't worry.

00:05:16.840 If they can do this to the president, I'm never going to do it to you.

00:05:22.840 Never, never.

00:05:25.260 Fannie Willis, meanwhile, she's great.

00:05:27.940 Uh, she apparently fired the, uh, whistleblower, uh, who blew the whistle on the misuse of federal

00:05:34.280 funds.

00:05:34.760 So, uh, whoops, but don't worry about it.

00:05:38.000 Nothing will happen.

00:05:39.180 Business partners of Fannie Willis, uh, alleged lover bankrolled her campaign and then she 0.99

00:05:45.220 gave them lucrative contracts, but she's out doing the people's work.

00:05:49.920 The, uh, former Trump official was a shot in the district of Columbia amid a crime surge,

00:05:57.220 but the DCAG said yesterday, the district can't prosecute or arrest our way out of crime.

00:06:04.420 Yeah.

00:06:05.000 Or you're right.

00:06:05.680 That's never worked.

00:06:07.180 Uh, no, our work.

00:06:09.020 I mean, let me just say this, and I'm not advocating for this.

00:06:12.380 I actually warn against stuff like this, but there's not a lot of crime in China, you know,

00:06:19.200 there were Philippines for a while.

00:06:22.260 No real drug problems. 0.58

00:06:23.920 You know, all you have to do is just execute the people, you know, not exactly an approach

00:06:29.080 to advocate for.

00:06:30.820 No, I'm not advocating for it, but I'm saying you went, since when can't you arrest and,

00:06:36.300 uh, and, and prosecute people for crime and it doesn't help crime go down since when

00:06:41.800 isn't that the whole purpose of law enforcement?

00:06:43.980 Like, why do you arrest anyone?

00:06:45.800 Why is there ever, ever law enforcement at all?

00:06:48.820 Correct.

00:06:49.200 Meanwhile, in San Francisco, they're now locking up $1.99 packs of gum.

00:06:57.860 $1.99.

00:06:59.680 I'm sorry.

00:07:00.540 You're going to have to wait for the man with a key to get the pack of gum.

00:07:04.760 Um, Gavin Newsom, uh, is now targeting, uh, target clerk because he went in and is like,

00:07:11.460 Hey, why, why didn't you stop that person?

00:07:12.900 I just saw him stealing. 1.00

00:07:14.280 And the clerk said, well, because of the stupid governor, the governor said, and that got him 1.00

00:07:19.040 angry. 1.00

00:07:19.500 And so now he's targeting this target person.

00:07:22.200 It's too many targets in this.

00:07:23.760 Um, oh my gosh, did he say the word target?

00:07:26.840 Call, get Sarah Palin into court. 1.00

00:07:28.980 Wife tries to kill husband after his ex from 60 years ago, sent a card. 0.64

00:07:34.960 He was 71 years old.

00:07:36.960 He had a relationship with this girl in the 1960s to say they're a good looking group of

00:07:42.420 people, uh, is kind of a little misleading.

00:07:46.840 Uh, but, uh, at 71 years old, he gets a card from a girlfriend in the night in the 1960s

00:07:54.200 and his wife tries to suffocate him with a pillow.

00:07:56.280 And I think that's perfectly reasonable.

00:07:58.700 And you know what?

00:08:00.500 Don't even call the police.

00:08:02.200 Don't even call the police.

00:08:03.660 There's nothing we can do.

00:08:06.480 Uh, CNN has now just said that the key democratic demographic is trending toward Donald Trump.

00:08:14.700 James O'Keefe.

00:08:16.000 Now this is going to come as a shock, uh, has a white house official caught on camera admitting

00:08:21.440 that Biden is in mental decline.

00:08:27.080 What?

00:08:28.900 New York community bank corp stocks plunge 38%, reigniting fears for regional banks.

00:08:35.100 But don't worry.

00:08:36.280 The Fed says everything is perfect.

00:08:40.020 And they're going to hold the interest rate steady.

00:08:42.860 They're not ready to cut them yet.

00:08:45.200 Maybe this summer.

00:08:47.320 Maybe this fall.

00:08:49.020 You know, like right before the election.

00:08:51.380 And the printers are going to be print.

00:08:54.280 I'm sorry.

00:08:55.040 We don't print money anymore.

00:08:56.680 We digitize it.

00:08:57.800 Glenn, it's entirely different.

00:09:00.020 New York Times has done a study.

00:09:02.600 Sit down for this one.

00:09:04.740 One big reason migrants are coming in droves to the United States. 1.00

00:09:11.840 New York Times confirms now.

00:09:13.840 And who saw this?

00:09:15.660 They believe they can stay.

00:09:17.560 What?

00:09:21.940 Nikki Haley says Texas has the right to secede from the U.S.

00:09:26.400 Governor Hochul suggests deporting illegals who attack.

00:09:30.080 Wait a minute.

00:09:30.460 Hold it.

00:09:30.720 It says Governor Hochul, Hochul, Hochul.

00:09:32.540 Which state is Hochul from? 0.54

00:09:34.940 Must be a hate monger state. 0.89

00:09:36.220 She wants to deport illegals. 1.00

00:09:37.820 Hochul, Hochul.

00:09:39.060 Can't remember what state she's from.

00:09:40.500 Oh, wait a minute.

00:09:41.680 Huh. 0.81

00:09:42.660 Anyway, she says that they should deport the illegals that attacked cops in Times Square. 1.00

00:09:48.200 If you haven't seen it, it's, you know, it's great.

00:09:51.240 It's really, it's, well, it ended with one of, do we have the full screen here?

00:09:55.740 There's the, there's the confrontation. 0.98

00:09:57.160 And just doing a beat down, kick down, these illegal immigrants are just beating the snot 1.00

00:10:02.480 out of, and then let me just show the picture of one of the illegal immigrants that were 0.98

00:10:07.680 leaving.

00:10:08.920 Yeah.

00:10:09.620 Oh, there he is.

00:10:10.660 He's, some would say he's a bird lover because on the ends of his hands, he's showing two

00:10:17.840 birds.

00:10:19.200 And that's, that's.

00:10:21.200 Flipping it in a way.

00:10:22.420 Yeah.

00:10:22.900 Flipping the bird, which is nice.

00:10:25.180 A Democratic governor slammed foreclosing rec center in black neighborhood to house

00:10:30.400 illegals in Boston.

00:10:32.060 Eh, don't worry about it.

00:10:33.780 Chinese hackers, ready? 0.98

00:10:36.180 Ready to wreak havoc on U.S. critical infrastructure, according to our FBI director.

00:10:43.820 Okay, that sounds really bad.

00:10:48.400 But the DOD is holding an event about the rise of far right terrorism in America.

00:10:54.500 It's one of their brown bag, uh, uh, you know, uh, get togethers.

00:10:58.580 They, they have these brown bag things where you just bring your brown bag.

00:11:01.520 Everybody's like, why, why is it?

00:11:03.140 Are you racist?

00:11:04.380 And they're like, no, that's, that's old timey talk for, you know, bring your lunch.

00:11:08.600 And then we're just going to sit around and talk.

00:11:10.360 And this time, the rise of far right terrorism.

00:11:14.360 Pay no attention to the, quote, Chinese hackers who are now ready to wreak havoc on critical 1.00

00:11:22.300 U.S. infrastructure.

00:11:23.800 Don't worry about that one.

00:11:25.660 Now, another news in America that makes total sense.

00:11:28.960 It's five men dominate women's college volleyball.

00:11:33.720 Hang on.

00:11:35.300 Five men dominate women's college volleyball game.

00:11:41.180 They injure two female players.

00:11:43.380 Why are the men playing in the, oh, that's right.

00:11:46.560 Because we're protecting women. 0.99

00:11:48.140 That's right.

00:11:49.480 We're, we're really holding up women and we're protecting women's rights. 0.98

00:11:53.760 And that's why we have five men playing women's volleyball. 0.97

00:11:59.380 And what a surprise.

00:12:00.500 They won.

00:12:01.000 They won.

00:12:01.760 I didn't see it coming.

00:12:03.120 It was, it's crazy.

00:12:04.200 It's almost the New York Times should do some analysts, get some analysts together and do

00:12:09.220 an analysis on what exactly happened there.

00:12:11.380 I don't know.

00:12:12.000 I don't know.

00:12:13.520 The new state mandated tampon dispenser in Connecticut high school.

00:12:19.920 I should, this is the boys bathroom.

00:12:23.300 Okay.

00:12:23.440 I mean, it's not just the, you know, the boys didn't go into the women's tampon dispenser.

00:12:28.440 They have their own now.

00:12:30.780 What's wrong with you?

00:12:32.520 But some hate mongers ripped it down in just 20 minutes.

00:12:35.240 That's crazy.

00:12:36.620 Christian private school has now banned a mom from dropping off her kids in a car that has 0.96

00:12:42.600 an ad for her OnlyFans account. 0.90

00:12:46.820 These bigoted Christians. 1.00

00:12:48.840 Here's one that'll make you happy. 0.90

00:12:50.740 Make you say, you know, grandpa.

00:12:52.160 I know what you fought for.

00:12:54.720 I know.

00:12:55.260 I know.

00:12:55.780 I know.

00:12:56.120 You lived through the depression.

00:12:57.340 You warned me.

00:12:58.100 You told me things could happen.

00:12:59.500 But I told you, sit down, old man. 1.00

00:13:02.280 You don't know what's coming.

00:13:03.960 We're the greatest generation.

00:13:06.500 The new adult diaper therapy spa has now opened in New Hampshire amid community backlash.

00:13:15.240 What a bigoted community.

00:13:17.620 You think there's, what, what, what?

00:13:21.560 You don't want to go back to be treated as a baby, as a 50-year-old man, and have somebody

00:13:26.440 put a diaper on you, and then you go poopy in the diaper, and then somebody gets to clean

00:13:31.000 it up?

00:13:31.640 That's great.

00:13:32.540 I can't wait until I'm 95 years old, and I get to have people do that. 0.81

00:13:37.140 Oh, it'll be such a sexual turn on. 0.96

00:13:40.340 Baltimore Principal has, there's a recording out where he said black kids can't test their 0.99

00:13:46.880 way out of a paper bag, and all kinds of other horrible, horrible stuff.

00:13:51.220 Well, they don't know if it was really him.

00:13:54.080 He says it was AI.

00:13:55.320 I never said any of those things.

00:13:57.240 It's AI.

00:13:58.800 Oh, are we getting to that conspiracy theory time that Glenn Beck talked about, oh, I don't

00:14:03.980 know, 15 years ago, where things will start to be disrupted because you won't be able

00:14:08.840 to believe your eyes or your ears because of AI and deep fakes?

00:14:14.240 Oh, did you hear last week?

00:14:15.580 I don't know if you saw this.

00:14:16.740 They took it down right away because it was misinformation, but they took it down right

00:14:21.320 away.

00:14:21.620 It was the president apparently in an off mic moment at a speech where he didn't realize

00:14:30.500 the microphones were on, and you hear the crowd in the background, and he's apparently

00:14:34.660 backstage, and he's like, you know what?

00:14:36.660 I don't care about these Texans. 1.00

00:14:38.360 I'm going to send the F-15 fighters over.

00:14:41.760 You're like, F-15s?

00:14:42.960 Well, it's a classic.

00:14:44.200 He's sending at least the classic planes. 1.00

00:14:46.860 I'll just bomb the crap out of those Texans. 1.00

00:14:49.180 He says, wow, he said what? 1.00

00:14:52.060 No, he didn't say it.

00:14:54.720 Wow, it's weird.

00:14:56.300 I think I might have said this would be the election where deep fakes would play a role.

00:15:03.480 Huh.

00:15:04.260 Well, there you go.

00:15:05.860 So Frontier Airlines had a flyer, just a normal American. 1.00

00:15:11.140 I don't even know why this is news.

00:15:13.260 Frontier Airlines flyer, 60-year-old woman.

00:15:16.220 And she got up, and she announced to the plane.

00:15:21.260 She was on her way to Philly.

00:15:23.040 And she said, I got to pee. 1.00

00:15:26.180 And then she flashed, I'm quoting, she flashed her anus and genitalia on the plane. 1.00

00:15:34.680 But that's what makes the jet-setting groove just, I mean, it's exciting to get on a plane 0.99

00:15:42.380 now, isn't it?

00:15:43.440 It's like, whoa, where are we going to go?

00:15:45.360 And the stewardesses, they're all so nice and happy and sexy. 0.60

00:15:49.400 And you're like, whoa, this is what it's like to jet-set. 0.98

00:15:52.480 And then the next thing you know, some 60-year-old woman is just showing you her anus. 1.00

00:15:59.120 She's like, look, it's like a cyclops with one brown eye. 1.00

00:16:02.720 And you're like, okay, this is great.

00:16:06.640 But that's America today in a nutshell.

00:16:10.680 So I don't know what you people are complaining about.

00:16:14.260 Seems like everything is going great today.

00:16:17.420 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:16:24.220 I believe I can say rap legend, Ben Shapiro.

00:16:29.800 Welcome to the program, Ben.

00:16:30.900 How are you?

00:16:32.260 Yo, yo, yo. 0.99

00:16:33.100 What's up, Holmes?

00:16:33.960 Hey.

00:16:35.000 I would respond, but I'm a little uncomfortable.

00:16:39.980 How are you doing, man?

00:16:42.560 You know, it's been a journey.

00:16:45.020 It's been a journey.

00:16:45.620 There have been so many iterations of my art over time, from playing classical violin now to this.

00:16:53.480 There's just so many genres I've yet to explore, and I can't wait to explore all of them.

00:16:58.580 What are you going to do next?

00:17:01.340 Heavy metal.

00:17:02.420 Really?

00:17:03.240 See, while you're dabbling in this kind of stuff, I'm learning new languages.

00:17:07.720 I'm learning currently, which is like rap legend Ben Shapiro.

00:17:16.500 I just said that, and the people who speak that language know it.

00:17:20.060 But anyway, some of us are serious.

00:17:22.060 It's amazing.

00:17:22.980 Listen, it's just a testament to the magic of my magnetic personality, my insane levels of riz, as they say, as the kids say.

00:17:29.920 You know, everyone can't get off the rap train now.

00:17:35.740 It's a station, and we will not be denied that number one status on Billboard number one.

00:17:41.980 Even Billboard is now admitting, by the way, that we're probably going to make the digital song downloads number one this week, just in time for the Grammys.

00:17:49.540 So, I can only hope that next year we get some inspiration for a Super Bowl halftime show.

00:17:58.300 Oh, that is so funny. 0.97

00:18:01.020 Will you be showing your nipples on that if you do get into the halftime show? 0.98

00:18:05.780 I'm going to go no on that. 0.99

00:18:06.840 Okay.

00:18:07.860 And America thanks you.

00:18:09.340 Something has to be left to the imagination.

00:18:11.500 You need them wanting more.

00:18:12.560 That's really the message.

00:18:13.440 Yeah, so I'm wearing my hoodie today, because, you know, you were wearing your hoodie in the video.

00:18:18.920 And you look good.

00:18:21.740 Whenever I see you, you look, you pull it.

00:18:24.020 I put the hoodie on, and I either look like Kenny, or I look like the Emperor from Star Wars.

00:18:33.240 I cannot make it, I don't, it's strange, but I can't make it cool, Ben.

00:18:38.320 It's very strange.

00:18:39.880 Yeah, well, you know, I didn't know that I could do it either.

00:18:42.400 So, the way that happened is that we were just filming that portion of the rap, and I looked around, and I was dressed as I normally do.

00:18:48.920 Yeah. 0.98

00:18:49.100 As a dork. 0.98

00:18:50.160 And I said, do we have a hoodie in the office? 0.97

00:18:52.740 And, like, actually, we do.

00:18:53.960 Somewhere in the back here, we have, like, a fax hoodie that we once marketed.

00:18:57.100 And I was like, bring it out.

00:18:59.020 Leo, he said that.

00:19:00.000 So cool.

00:19:00.340 Bring it out.

00:19:01.080 A piece of drip that is possible on planet Earth right now.

00:19:05.500 We have sold more of those hoodies, and it's basically funding my entire mortgage at this point.

00:19:10.940 That's so funny.

00:19:11.880 Hang on just a sec.

00:19:12.620 Let's play a little bit of the rap.

00:19:14.540 Let's look at the stats.

00:19:15.440 I've got the facts.

00:19:16.140 My money like Liz and my pockets are fat.

00:19:17.920 Homie, I'm epic. 0.96

00:19:18.700 Don't be a whap. 1.00

00:19:19.540 Dog, it's a yarmulke.

00:19:20.340 Homie, no cap.

00:19:21.160 Look at the graphs.

00:19:22.040 Look at my charts.

00:19:22.820 You're blowing money on strippers and cars. 1.00

00:19:24.380 You going to prison.

00:19:25.200 I'm on television.

00:19:26.140 Dog, no one knows who you are.

00:19:27.800 So funny.

00:19:30.580 So funny.

00:19:32.640 The joy that my art brings to others is really the reason I'm in the game.

00:19:38.460 So, Ben, let's change the subject here for a second.

00:19:41.380 What is the biggest threat to our country right now?

00:19:48.000 I think the biggest threat to our country is that there is a widespread conspiracy theory that's held on virtually every side of the aisle,

00:19:53.560 which is that success in a free market, free system is somehow emblematic of exploitation.

00:20:01.300 You see it mostly on the left is basically what DEI is, is this theory that the powerful in society control everyone else

00:20:07.420 and that you can tell who the powerful are by their success, and then you can group them by race.

00:20:12.200 And so DEI basically says that if you're a white male, you're on the top of the power hierarchy, you're unfairly exploiting others,

00:20:17.160 and therefore you need to be brought low.

00:20:18.700 So that tends to cross streams with anti-Semitism, obviously, because once you start talking about groups that are disproportionately successful in the United States,

00:20:26.480 you get into Asians, you get into Jews, it gets into really ugly territory. 1.00

00:20:29.580 But I also see some elements of this on sort of the far right, this idea that everything is conspiracy,

00:20:34.580 everything is a group of elites who are seeking to keep you under the boot,

00:20:39.380 and success is therefore belonging to this elite cadre of people.

00:20:44.820 Now, that doesn't mean there aren't institutions that aren't run by people who really do have your worst interests at heart.

00:20:49.540 I mean, the media are run by people who do not agree with your vision of America, the universities.

00:20:54.040 But we're talking just broadly speaking, the implication that success is unachievable in a free market society

00:21:00.120 or in a free speech society, that is enervating to the American public.

00:21:04.180 It leads us to see each other as enemies.

00:21:06.200 It's really ugly. It's destroying us domestically.

00:21:08.520 I think it's destroying us in terms of foreign policy as well.

00:21:10.580 So it's that sort of – it's that ideology, I think.

00:21:13.800 So I tell you, I don't know exactly what you're pulling from.

00:21:17.220 There's a couple of things like this horrible ruling, I think, about Elon Musk and the attacks on Elon Musk.

00:21:24.800 They're trying to destroy him, but that's because he doesn't agree with policy.

00:21:27.920 I have no problem with people making money and being successful.

00:21:32.040 My problem is with the elites that are – it's not a conspiracy.

00:21:36.360 We know who they are.

00:21:37.780 The World Economic Forum and all of the leaders around the world that are saying things like,

00:21:44.320 we've got to ban meat, we have to take control of private property,

00:21:50.780 and we have to do public-private partnerships.

00:21:53.800 I mean, those people, that's not a conspiracy, is it?

00:21:56.620 No, I agree with that.

00:21:57.720 And so that's why I was distinguishing between institutions that are absolutely doing that,

00:22:01.380 and they're saying it openly.

00:22:02.620 Yes.

00:22:03.040 I distinguish between sort of the conspiracy theories and the actual just people who are saying the thing.

00:22:07.520 Right.

00:22:07.820 The WF is not hiding the ball.

00:22:09.460 They're saying exactly what they want to do, and they're doing it out loud,

00:22:11.920 and they say that they control certain businesses, they control governments.

00:22:15.400 And again, they're doing it right out in the open.

00:22:16.900 That's why it's always weird to me when people say that the right is so focused on this WF conspiracy.

00:22:20.960 That's not a conspiracy when you just say the thing, but that's a little bit different than a sort of, I think,

00:22:28.560 internalized sense that we're getting from a lot of Americans on all sides of the political aisle

00:22:32.500 that success is not possible in the United States, which I don't think is reality.

00:22:37.080 I think success is possible.

00:22:38.080 I think there can be institutional obstacles to that success that are largely discriminatory.

00:22:43.460 But again, this is an amazing country, and I think that it's worthwhile for us to remember just how amazing this country was

00:22:49.080 and what makes it amazing is the fact that we have a shared set, or we used to at least,

00:22:53.440 have a shared set of Judeo-Christian values and free market principles that have created the largest commercial republic

00:22:59.440 in the history of mankind, most powerful military in the history of mankind,

00:23:03.560 and the most powerful spreader of morality and decency in the history of mankind.

00:23:08.680 We are all part of that project.

00:23:10.860 There are obstacles to that project, but those are not insuperable.

00:23:14.120 And I think telling people that they will lose, that whatever is the next thing that happens politically

00:23:18.440 will cause them to be cast into the outer darkness forever, I'm not a big fan of catastrophism in this country.

00:23:25.440 I just, I don't think that, when we say that the next election is the last election, I don't believe that.

00:23:29.720 I think it's really, really important.

00:23:31.160 But I think it's also more important to build up from the local level, and I prefer that we all start to focus

00:23:35.280 on that, as opposed to sort of the catastrophic thinking that if the next election doesn't go the way we want,

00:23:42.260 then civil war is going to break out or something.

00:23:43.860 Now, I mean, as America's leading catastrophist, I do feel like that was a little pointed.

00:23:55.940 I don't mean it to be.

00:23:57.100 I mean, it really is not about, you know, the idea that there aren't serious threats lurking around the corner.

00:24:03.920 But I think that it's easy, and not just lurking, like here.

00:24:07.960 I mean, listen, we're living in a country where a significant percentage of the population

00:24:11.140 doesn't know the difference between male and female.

00:24:13.120 I mean, that's a serious crisis that is present right in front of us.

00:24:16.560 We're in a country where, again, a significant percentage of the population believes that free market capitalism

00:24:20.660 is actually evil and wrong.

00:24:22.260 It needs to be curbed.

00:24:23.280 That's a serious crisis right in front of us.

00:24:25.100 I guess the point that I'm making is that in our personal lives, in our daily interactions,

00:24:28.920 the things that we should be focused on are what can bring us success.

00:24:32.300 And I think that we can fight the crises that are political at the same time that we build success from the local level.

00:24:38.700 And what I'd prefer conservatives to do is do both at the same time.

00:24:42.260 We can walk and we can chew gum.

00:24:43.640 And I think there's been a lot of focus that's been poured into, you know, the crises that face us.

00:24:48.720 And, yeah, those are crises that we have to fight because otherwise we won't be able to do the things on a personal level we want to do.

00:24:53.340 But, you know, what I'm seeing right now is people feeling enervated about things like getting married,

00:24:58.560 people feeling enervated about things like getting a job, or if I work hard, will I succeed?

00:25:03.800 And we have to keep saying to people over and over that if you work hard, you will succeed.

00:25:07.880 And we are going to make sure that nobody stops you from succeeding if you work hard and make the right decisions.

00:25:12.020 Okay, I understand.

00:25:12.960 I understand what you're saying there.

00:25:15.020 I'm surprised that you picked that.

00:25:16.920 I'm glad you did because I hadn't thought of it the way you're thinking.

00:25:19.840 But I would say most people right now would say the biggest thing that is the biggest problem we have to address quickly is the border.

00:25:28.900 Yes.

00:25:29.400 I mean, on a political level, absolutely the border.

00:25:31.320 On a political level, 100% the border.

00:25:33.280 You know, when we're talking about the crises that face us right now, I think this is the crisis that's going to define not just this year, but maybe this generation.

00:25:40.420 Yes.

00:25:40.540 Not just on America's southern border, but all over the world.

00:25:42.920 This mass migration of peoples from areas that are not particularly friendly to Western values into places in the West is obviously breaking politics in Europe. 0.79

00:25:51.840 But in the United States, this idea that we can have an open border that is being openly pursued by Joe Biden.

00:25:56.500 I mean, there's just no question that Joe Biden has crafted the policy that is specifically designed to keep our borders open.

00:26:02.140 I was just down on the border and I was talking with Brandon Judd, who's head of the Border Patrol Union, and he was he was showing me the border.

00:26:09.060 I mean, we went 25 miles without seeing a single Border Patrol agent.

00:26:11.740 And that was in the area that did not have border gate.

00:26:15.000 I mean, it did not have border wall.

00:26:16.060 That was on the Native American reservation in Arizona.

00:26:17.900 And I mean, that place is so unoccupied by Border Patrol that when we sat there at night and we looked out the window of the car, there's a drone flying over us, monitoring us.

00:26:26.580 I assumed that it was an American drone.

00:26:27.700 It was not.

00:26:28.120 It was a Mexican drug cartel drone that was monitoring our car because and it was on American territory.

00:26:32.880 And I asked the Border Patrol agent, why don't you shoot it down?

00:26:35.340 He said we would have to get direct permission from Alejandro Mayorkas directly to shoot that down.

00:26:39.600 So it's not to create an international incident on the border.

00:26:42.660 So the border, the drug, the drug cartels are in control of the border.

00:26:45.380 They're playing this game that is fully taking advantage of what Joe Biden is doing.

00:26:48.960 So to understand what Biden has done, the basic answer is Joe Biden has now declared that if you say the magic words with regard to asylum, you will be allowed into the country.

00:26:57.860 Not only that, Border Patrol's first duty is to take you at the border and to process you and release you into the interior of the United States.

00:27:05.380 So what the what the drug cartels are doing is they will literally drive up in a truck yards from the border, unload a bunch of illegal immigrants.

00:27:12.740 These illegal immigrants will literally walk across the border where we were. 0.99

00:27:15.440 There is a sign with a button on it.

00:27:17.140 And if you push the button, it says push for Border Patrol help like they're bellboys.

00:27:21.360 And you would and you push the button.

00:27:23.400 The Border Patrol all rushes over to do what Joe Biden wants them to do, which is busing an administrative duty.

00:27:27.220 That leaves the border wide open for the actual scary people, because there are two groups of people, right?

00:27:31.660 There are people who shouldn't be in here because they don't actually have legal asylum claims.

00:27:34.920 They may be on the welfare system, but they're not necessarily people who are seeking to do violent crime or smuggle drugs or something.

00:27:41.160 And the drug cartels make money from from coyoteing them up, obviously. 0.73

00:27:44.720 But the drug cartels are making the real money from smuggling fentanyl over the border, from smuggling people of criminal records over the border, terrorists over the border.

00:27:52.500 And Joe Biden is leaving those swaths of the border completely unoccupied so that he can process more people who are claiming asylum.

00:27:59.500 I mean, it's not a shock that the criminals who just beat up the cops in New York the other day, they were claiming asylum.

00:28:04.100 I mean, that's literally what they said. They said, we are here. We are claiming asylum.

00:28:07.220 They don't have a legit asylum claim. And that is purely on Joe Biden, because under Donald Trump, we had a remain in Mexico policy, which was if you arrived at the border and said, I claim asylum, we'd say, great.

00:28:16.020 Now you wait in Mexico and then we'll adjudicate your case. And then their case would be adjudicated.

00:28:20.480 They wouldn't have an asylum claim and they would have to go back home.

00:28:22.760 Well, that's a pretty good incentive not to show up at our southern border. Joe Biden has done precisely the reverse.

00:28:26.500 Ben, obviously, is with The Daily Wire and he's got a new documentary out about his trip to the border and shows you all of these things.

00:28:37.020 And you can watch it on The Daily Wire if you are like me and you are a member of The Daily Wire.

00:28:44.640 Ben, as always, great to talk to you.

00:28:48.100 I appreciate talking to you and and keep the spark alive for the hip hop in your heart.

00:28:53.340 Well, I will. We'll do. We'll do. Thank you so much, Ben Shapiro.

00:29:01.220 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:29:07.960 So I want to ask you some questions that, you know, most people roll their eyes at it or, you know, just they haven't thought about it and they think they know and they don't.

00:29:14.960 Where do your basic rights come from?

00:29:19.380 Do you really have any rights?

00:29:23.240 Not the question that most Americans, you know, are spending any time thinking about, but we must.

00:29:28.340 We must begin asking our families and our friends these questions because you'll be surprised how many people don't have any idea.

00:29:37.380 When you grow up in America, freedom, individual freedom, it's really all, you know, and it's easy to assume that it's, you know, just kind of like water.

00:29:47.820 You know, it just is. I don't know.

00:29:50.380 Ask people at the grocery store. Where's that meat come from?

00:29:54.060 The grocery store?

00:29:55.680 They have no idea, especially kids today.

00:29:58.260 We've completely disconnected from the source of all things.

00:30:02.800 Now, the source for our rights is government.

00:30:12.640 Earlier this month, Rasmussen did a survey for the committee to unleash prosperity, and they divided respondents between elites, super elites, and the general public.

00:30:22.840 They defined elites as Americans who have at least one postgraduate degree and earn over $150,000.

00:30:29.940 Then you had the super elites.

00:30:32.660 The super elites are the same, $150,000 a job a year, plus one postgraduate degree, but they got it from the Ivy League colleges.

00:30:42.860 Then you have the rest of the people.

00:30:45.360 They found that 47% of elites and 55% of super elites believe the government allows Americans to have too much individual freedom.

00:30:58.040 Half of these people believe the government allows Americans to have too much individual freedom.

00:31:09.240 70% of the elites say they trust the government to do the right thing most of all the time.

00:31:15.020 That's twice the national average of any other category.

00:31:19.600 77% of elites and 89% of super elites would also support, quote, the strict rationing of gas, meat, and electricity.

00:31:34.320 Do you know anybody like that?

00:31:38.200 Because these are the people that are running our corporations and our government.

00:31:42.020 The strict rationing of gas, meat, and electricity?

00:31:48.180 This is an anti-American trend, and it's happening because we don't know.

00:31:54.660 We don't know where our rights come from. 0.90

00:31:57.600 And let me show you some of the garbage that's being shoveled.

00:31:59.920 One of the guys who is the elite and super elite, WEF member, everybody who's anybody, loves him.

00:32:10.720 At the World Economic Forum, well, it was in session this year, there was a clip from a TED Talk from Yuval Noah Harari.

00:32:20.560 It went viral.

00:32:21.820 It's several years old, but during this was people were starting to go, what is the WEF?

00:32:27.220 They looked for who is part of it, and what are they saying?

00:32:33.600 I want you to listen very carefully to what a super elite talks about when he talks about freedom and rights.

00:32:45.500 Today in the world, many, maybe most legal systems are based on this idea or this belief in human rights.

00:32:53.840 But human rights are just like heaven and like God.

00:32:58.460 It's just a fictional story that we've invented and spread around.

00:33:03.140 It may be a very nice story.

00:33:06.020 It may be a very attractive story.

00:33:08.400 We want to believe it.

00:33:09.740 But it's just a story.

00:33:11.260 It's not a reality.

00:33:12.980 It is not a biological reality.

00:33:15.920 Just as jellyfish and woodpeckers and ostriches have no rights,

00:33:20.420 Homo sapiens have no rights also.

00:33:22.000 The only place you find rights is in the fictional stories that humans have invented and spread around.

00:33:31.720 And the same thing is also true in the political field.

00:33:35.860 States and nations are also, like human rights and like God and like heaven,

00:33:42.360 they too are just stories.

00:33:45.360 A mountain is a reality.

00:33:47.140 You can see it.

00:33:48.340 You can touch it.

00:33:49.380 You can even smell it.

00:33:50.380 But Israel or the United States, they are just stories.

00:33:55.120 Very powerful stories.

00:33:57.060 Stories we might want to believe very much.

00:33:59.740 But still, they are just stories.

00:34:01.400 You can't really see the United States.

00:34:03.900 You cannot touch it.

00:34:05.080 You cannot smell it.

00:34:09.100 That is...

00:34:10.380 I've been in many parts of the United States that you could absolutely smell.

00:34:13.060 I don't know what he's talking about.

00:34:13.820 That is the ultimate disinformation.

00:34:18.440 First of all, listen.

00:34:21.040 There is...

00:34:21.560 It's just like heaven and God.

00:34:23.660 It's just make-believe.

00:34:25.440 That's what he believes.

00:34:26.720 So he doesn't believe that there is a creator.

00:34:29.200 And if you don't believe that there is anything higher than man,

00:34:33.800 then you probably would believe that.

00:34:37.800 That there is nothing bigger than me.

00:34:43.860 What a horrible way to live.

00:34:46.060 But he's wrong.

00:34:48.200 And he says there's no biological proof of rights.

00:34:51.840 Well, it's weird because there is biological proof of sex and gender,

00:34:55.860 but you don't want to recognize that.

00:35:00.120 Why?

00:35:00.840 Because you don't believe in God.

00:35:02.640 So you reject that science

00:35:04.760 while taking scientific avenues and shortcuts

00:35:11.880 to back up something that you believe over here.

00:35:18.060 This is the basic question.

00:35:20.080 And we all have to answer this.

00:35:23.980 Do you have rights?

00:35:28.500 Or is it just something we all made up?

00:35:32.940 A lot of people now believe that if we have any rights,

00:35:35.580 it's given to us by government.

00:35:37.540 Now, that's a little terrifying

00:35:40.440 because a government that can issue rights

00:35:42.720 can take all rights away.

00:35:45.280 According to that new survey I mentioned,

00:35:47.920 America's elite class already thinks we have too much freedom

00:35:50.920 and they trust the government to figure out the right balance

00:35:54.040 for our rights.

00:35:56.740 His commentary on human rights

00:35:58.780 is the polar opposite

00:36:00.480 of the view of natural rights

00:36:03.420 in our declaration.

00:36:06.420 Nature's God

00:36:07.520 gives us natural rights.

00:36:12.920 If you can't do it in the animal kingdom,

00:36:18.440 you can't do it.

00:36:20.040 And then God also sets aside

00:36:22.780 some certain rights

00:36:23.800 and some rights and wrongs.

00:36:27.080 Our mission statement

00:36:28.880 as a country

00:36:31.000 is our Declaration of Independence.

00:36:34.560 It's an amazing thing.

00:36:36.220 It's our DNA.

00:36:36.980 But they've intentionally,

00:36:40.160 since the 1920s,

00:36:42.060 stopped teaching it.

00:36:44.760 It is our mission statement.

00:36:47.000 It is the DNA of freedom.

00:36:50.940 And it follows a logical progression.

00:36:54.520 All people, all people,

00:36:56.280 are created equal.

00:36:58.120 God gives all people

00:36:59.680 certain inherent rights

00:37:01.100 that cannot ever be changed

00:37:02.960 or denied by anyone.

00:37:04.160 These essential rights

00:37:06.680 are the right to life,

00:37:08.120 liberty,

00:37:08.760 and the pursuit of happiness.

00:37:10.500 To protect those rights,

00:37:12.960 we set up government.

00:37:14.580 Men set up government.

00:37:16.840 What is the government's job?

00:37:18.520 To protect the rights of people.

00:37:22.240 Then it goes on,

00:37:23.160 when a government fails

00:37:24.180 to protect these inherent rights,

00:37:26.260 the people have the right

00:37:27.380 and the responsibility

00:37:28.360 to change or replace it.

00:37:30.800 Now, these are the principles

00:37:32.300 that make the Declaration

00:37:33.720 just as relevant today

00:37:35.560 as it was when it was,

00:37:37.040 before it was an old dusty document.

00:37:39.820 Government exists

00:37:40.900 to protect humans' basic rights

00:37:44.620 that no government issues,

00:37:47.520 but God does.

00:37:49.600 These,

00:37:50.360 the existence of these

00:37:51.940 inalienable rights,

00:37:53.340 that's what led to the Constitution,

00:37:56.720 not the other way around.

00:37:59.860 The Declaration of Independence

00:38:01.840 is our mission statement.

00:38:04.360 The Constitution

00:38:05.800 is the operator's manual

00:38:08.220 or the how-to blueprint

00:38:09.900 to implement

00:38:11.540 that mission statement.

00:38:13.680 And our founders

00:38:14.600 were so freaked out

00:38:15.920 by government

00:38:16.680 and people who were corrupt

00:38:18.660 and just felt

00:38:19.920 that they could lord over you,

00:38:21.380 literally,

00:38:22.220 they wrote the Bill of Rights,

00:38:24.660 which was the insurance policy.

00:38:26.680 It was a writer

00:38:28.540 on the Constitution.

00:38:30.100 By the way,

00:38:30.900 I know you just read

00:38:31.880 the instruction manual,

00:38:33.200 but just to reinforce,

00:38:35.280 you can never

00:38:36.560 violate these things.

00:38:39.980 And it's worked remarkably well

00:38:42.340 all over the world.

00:38:44.860 Imperfectly.

00:38:46.180 But it's worked.

00:38:47.660 The foundation

00:38:48.440 is solid.

00:38:52.040 Unfortunately,

00:38:52.680 we have a slab leak.

00:38:54.140 You know what that is?

00:38:56.120 It's the progressive idea

00:38:57.780 that the truths

00:39:00.020 change over time.

00:39:01.860 That is seeped

00:39:02.820 into our foundation.

00:39:04.860 Now it's all about

00:39:05.920 my truth,

00:39:06.760 your truth.

00:39:07.440 There is no such thing

00:39:08.840 as my truth

00:39:09.640 or your truth.

00:39:10.480 There is only truth.

00:39:12.080 And we may

00:39:12.920 misunderstand that truth.

00:39:14.880 We may evolve

00:39:16.200 in our understanding

00:39:17.120 of that truth.

00:39:18.660 But we are

00:39:19.740 on a constant search

00:39:21.300 for truth.

00:39:22.380 Not your truth,

00:39:23.160 my truth,

00:39:24.140 the truth.

00:39:27.300 And if according

00:39:28.340 to progressivism,

00:39:29.480 the truth changes

00:39:30.460 over time,

00:39:31.760 then so can rights.

00:39:34.600 According to this

00:39:35.640 my truth,

00:39:36.320 your truth world,

00:39:37.660 rights are not inalienable.

00:39:39.620 Rights of a child

00:39:40.520 to be free

00:39:41.560 from sexual predators.

00:39:44.520 Rights of a child.

00:39:47.940 Well,

00:39:48.540 no.

00:39:49.140 If we change

00:39:50.060 the meaning

00:39:50.840 of pedophilia

00:39:52.340 and say,

00:39:52.900 no,

00:39:53.160 you know what,

00:39:53.540 that's their right,

00:39:54.280 then that child

00:39:55.260 doesn't have the rights

00:39:56.460 that you and I

00:39:57.040 always thought

00:39:57.520 they had.

00:40:01.660 Post-modern

00:40:02.540 progressivism

00:40:03.580 would have you believe

00:40:05.260 that we as people

00:40:06.560 have evolved

00:40:07.160 so far past

00:40:08.780 the America

00:40:09.940 of our founding documents

00:40:11.480 that they're irrelevant.

00:40:14.740 We have science.

00:40:15.860 We have experts.

00:40:16.720 We have AI

00:40:17.400 to guide us now.

00:40:18.600 We have science.

00:40:19.580 We have experts.

00:40:20.380 We have AI.

00:40:21.360 Except for AI,

00:40:22.600 that's exactly

00:40:23.420 what the Germans had.

00:40:25.380 They had scientists,

00:40:26.940 doctors,

00:40:27.700 nurses,

00:40:28.460 experts.

00:40:29.100 President Lincoln

00:40:34.200 wrote

00:40:35.260 that the truths

00:40:38.540 that are found

00:40:39.140 in the Declaration

00:40:39.980 of Independence

00:40:40.820 are applicable

00:40:42.840 to all men

00:40:44.140 at all times.

00:40:46.360 That today

00:40:47.360 and in all coming days

00:40:48.780 it shall be a rebuke

00:40:50.160 and a stumbling block

00:40:51.440 to the very harbingers

00:40:52.760 of reappearing

00:40:54.060 tyranny

00:40:54.740 and oppression.

00:40:55.460 We need to renew

00:40:59.260 our commitment

00:41:00.120 to the essentials

00:41:01.220 of our founding.

00:41:03.300 There are people

00:41:04.260 on both sides

00:41:05.240 now that are saying

00:41:06.740 you've got to get rid

00:41:07.680 of the Constitution.

00:41:08.800 We have to do things

00:41:10.160 that are not

00:41:11.040 in the Constitution.

00:41:12.620 There are people

00:41:13.280 that are

00:41:14.180 that don't even know

00:41:16.760 what real

00:41:17.400 religious nationalism

00:41:18.860 is.

00:41:20.040 Christian nationalism.

00:41:22.300 They misunderstand it.

00:41:24.260 What the real meaning

00:41:25.380 of that

00:41:26.060 and if you're

00:41:27.920 with somebody

00:41:28.660 who says

00:41:29.080 they're a Christian

00:41:29.700 nationalist

00:41:30.200 you need to know

00:41:31.280 if they understand

00:41:32.400 what that means.

00:41:34.600 That doesn't mean

00:41:35.600 go by the Constitution.

00:41:37.040 It means

00:41:37.480 we've got to

00:41:38.340 force people.

00:41:40.180 We have to have

00:41:40.920 a government

00:41:41.540 that enforces

00:41:43.220 our Judeo-Christian

00:41:46.040 values

00:41:46.980 by bringing

00:41:49.200 the church in.

00:41:52.220 No.

00:41:53.040 We need the church

00:41:54.020 to do their part.

00:41:56.560 We need the church

00:41:57.340 to stop

00:41:57.960 can you stop

00:41:59.200 having a concert

00:42:00.020 for five minutes

00:42:01.040 and actually

00:42:02.300 talk about

00:42:03.420 the truth

00:42:04.120 and apply it

00:42:05.560 to today's America.

00:42:07.220 we are about

00:42:10.900 to become

00:42:11.480 dark

00:42:12.180 monsters

00:42:13.320 and is

00:42:16.980 who's talking

00:42:17.680 about it

00:42:18.060 from the pulpit

00:42:18.660 and if you want

00:42:21.180 the solution

00:42:21.840 it's always

00:42:23.260 look back

00:42:24.060 to God

00:42:24.800 tyranny

00:42:28.600 and oppression

00:42:29.300 are scratching

00:42:30.260 at the door.

00:42:31.820 I don't want

00:42:32.180 a strong man

00:42:33.040 from any political

00:42:34.280 party

00:42:34.680 to fix

00:42:35.500 things.

00:42:37.060 The fix

00:42:38.120 is already

00:42:38.860 here.

00:42:40.000 It's in the

00:42:40.980 blueprint

00:42:41.420 instruction manual

00:42:43.140 and the

00:42:44.180 Bill of Rights.

00:42:45.300 That restrains

00:42:47.060 government

00:42:47.520 from getting

00:42:48.320 a strong man.

00:42:49.600 And then

00:42:52.740 our personal

00:42:53.660 responsibility

00:42:54.640 to be

00:42:55.820 worthy

00:42:56.260 of those

00:42:56.940 rights

00:42:57.340 is our

00:42:57.740 commitment

00:42:58.100 to God

00:42:59.420 however you

00:43:00.120 define him.

00:43:03.320 Mr.

00:43:04.120 Harari

00:43:04.480 is wrong.

00:43:06.720 America

00:43:07.060 is not

00:43:07.780 a nice

00:43:09.020 story.

00:43:11.100 It's a

00:43:11.940 complex

00:43:12.380 story.

00:43:14.040 The ideas

00:43:15.260 were new

00:43:16.540 250 years

00:43:18.220 ago.

00:43:18.520 he's

00:43:23.240 right on

00:43:23.600 one thing

00:43:24.320 when he

00:43:26.100 says

00:43:26.500 it's a

00:43:28.320 story.

00:43:30.580 Well it

00:43:31.220 will be a

00:43:31.860 story if we

00:43:32.460 don't recognize

00:43:33.260 the principles.

00:43:35.200 It will

00:43:35.960 just be a

00:43:36.820 story and

00:43:37.360 that's how

00:43:38.080 everyone will

00:43:39.100 frame it.

00:43:40.240 As yeah

00:43:40.700 people said

00:43:41.380 that there

00:43:41.660 was this

00:43:42.040 country once

00:43:42.800 and they

00:43:43.060 believed in

00:43:43.660 rights and

00:43:44.240 they didn't

00:43:45.100 do that.

00:43:45.800 They didn't

00:43:46.160 do any of

00:43:46.720 that thing.

00:43:47.240 They didn't

00:43:47.600 have the

00:43:48.040 right to

00:43:48.500 fly in

00:43:49.220 an airplane

00:43:49.720 or have

00:43:50.260 their own

00:43:50.740 cars.

00:43:51.320 That was

00:43:51.620 crazy.

00:43:53.020 They were 0.98

00:43:53.300 very very

00:43:53.900 dangerous.

00:43:54.780 A new

00:43:55.300 story is

00:43:56.080 being written

00:43:56.660 right now

00:43:57.620 and unless

00:43:59.160 we know

00:43:59.840 the true

00:44:00.460 story and

00:44:02.300 stand up to

00:44:03.000 defend that

00:44:03.860 story will

00:44:06.520 be a

00:44:06.800 byword.

00:44:08.340 Freedom is

00:44:09.160 a choice.

00:44:10.220 It's not

00:44:10.660 naturally

00:44:11.220 occurring in

00:44:13.080 nature.

00:44:13.760 It's a

00:44:14.540 choice.
