The Glenn Beck Program - Best of The Program ｜ Guest： Bill O’Reilly ｜ 3⧸12⧸21

00:00:00.000 Hello, America. It's Friday. Got a great podcast for you. Bill O'Reilly joins us. A lot of fun

00:00:05.920 towards the beginning of the show and the podcast. And I think a lot of deep, deep insight. And by

00:00:12.320 the end of the show, things that you need to hear some hopeful stuff on today's show. We also talk

00:00:19.400 about Biden's press conference yesterday, which really pissed me off, really pissed me off. It

00:00:28.900 was not a press conference, we should be clear. Yeah, it was a speech. Didn't take any questions

00:00:33.540 from the press. The longest that any president has ever gone is 33 or 34 days. And he's already

00:00:42.460 52 days into it and not talking to the press. We've talked about that and so much more on

00:00:48.380 today's podcast. Not to mention a couple of big time Democratic congressmen asking for the

00:00:52.580 resignation of Andrew Cuomo. Andrew Cuomo is awful. Dot com is the place to go to get your

00:00:58.200 Andrew Cuomo is awful gear. Don't miss that. And don't forget to subscribe to blaze TV

00:01:03.060 dot com slash Glenn. The promo code is Glenn for 10 bucks off because there's a special

00:01:07.000 show today. Yeah, special show today on blaze TV just for blaze subscribers. But also the

00:01:11.760 podcast is out for blaze TV subscribers. But on Saturday, the podcast one on one for about

00:01:17.620 an hour with Richard Grinnell, the former director of national intelligence. We talk about Hunter

00:01:23.200 Biden. Unbelievable stuff on that. We talk about what did the president know this president

00:01:31.560 current president about China? Can we trust it? One of our producers said he says more

00:01:38.580 without saying anything than anyone I've ever heard. He's extraordinarily careful and maybe

00:01:44.900 maybe running for the governorship of California. That's a podcast comes out on Saturday. Richard

00:01:52.580 Grinnell. Don't miss it.

00:02:00.760 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:02:05.040 Pat Gray is joining us from the podcast. Pat Gray unleashed. Pat, I want to play cut number

00:02:15.460 two, please. And I want to ask you if you have ever heard the president of the United States

00:02:20.680 ever any president utter these words. In the coming weeks, we will issue further guidance

00:02:28.580 on what you can and cannot do once fully vaccinated. Have you not? I have not ever heard

00:02:37.080 that because what's funny is tell me what I can and cannot do after I'm vaccinated. See,

00:02:41.820 just a short while ago, about 250 years ago, we issued some guidelines on what they can and cannot

00:02:49.140 do. And one of those, I'm pretty sure, is saying things like that. Yes. Yes. I loved the whole speech

00:02:56.160 last night. Yeah. We got some, we got some permission to be free. Well, maybe, maybe you

00:03:04.500 might be able to be free. Well, we were told we may get permission if we act the way we're

00:03:10.760 supposed to act. If we behave ourselves and we wash behind our ears and we eat all our vegetables

00:03:16.500 and we wash our hands, then maybe we can have a couple of people come to our house on the 4th

00:03:23.220 of July for a barbecue. Maybe, maybe, maybe. So maybe not. It's like, it's really like telling

00:03:28.820 your, your little kid exactly what's what Pat just said. If you behave yourself when we leave here,

00:03:35.760 we could stop and get some ice cream. We'll see, but it depends on how you act. Right. That's exactly

00:03:42.460 what he did last night. I know it depends on if we can't allow your backyard barbecue, it's going to

00:03:48.200 be your fault because you didn't do the things I told you to do. I am, I am so close to just

00:03:53.360 announcing the largest backyard barbecue. I know, I want to have 1500 people in my backyard. I am,

00:03:59.660 I am serious. I might just invite everybody to my ranch for a backyard barbecue this 4th of July.

00:04:07.300 Should do it. Cause I am, should I? Should do it. Should do it. Your house, not ours, but your house.

00:04:13.200 I mean, I'm really close to doing it cause I mean, it won't be anything, you know, we'll do some

00:04:18.200 fireworks and we'll, you know, have some burgers and whatever. Uh, and you just come and we're just

00:04:24.320 going to have a big, huge fricking, uh, uh, backyard barbecue with just a few friends.

00:04:32.040 Do me a favor, do it on July 3rd though, because I just want it to be one day before he says it's

00:04:36.640 okay. That's all I want. That's Saturday too. July, Saturday's July 3rd. Yeah. You know what?

00:04:44.840 Stay tuned. I might do it. I just, I can't take it. Does it depend on how the listeners act?

00:04:51.840 Does it depend on that? Well, if they, if they behave, if they behave, if you behave listeners,

00:04:58.300 I, we might, we might allow you to come to my backyard barbecue and, uh, I have a thousand acres

00:05:10.500 in my backyard. So a few friends could gather. Yeah. We won't see each other, but yeah, we'll be there.

00:05:17.220 Uh, all right. Uh, Pat, did you notice that we also, uh, now have a Pentagon going after Tucker

00:05:28.020 Carlson? That pisses me up. Many things do, but that is, uh, that's amazing. You don't have your

00:05:37.500 Pentagon taking on political issues or private citizens, private citizens. What business do

00:05:45.180 you have of commenting on what Tucker Carlson did on his show? The military protects all Americans,

00:05:52.020 right? And the military is not for internal politics, but external politics. And we are quickly

00:06:00.400 turning our military into a political force. It is extraordinarily dangerous. And I urge anyone in

00:06:10.080 the Pentagon that, that understands that to stand up. You cannot be quiet about it. You must stand up.

00:06:18.920 I know there are people there that are like, if I say something that I'm out and it'll all be

00:06:22.800 these radicals in there. You must stand up. People who are, are, um, seeing things happening in their

00:06:30.740 own communities, in your own, in your own churches or your own schools, you must stand up now because

00:06:39.860 this thing is growing out of control. In order to get outraged over this too, you have to ignore

00:06:46.840 his ultimate point there. The point was, you know, what are, what are the priorities of the U S

00:06:53.600 military, right? Are the priorities designing maternity wear for air force pilots, or are

00:06:59.620 they making sure that we're combat ready just in case? You know, my dad couldn't join the Marines

00:07:04.140 because he had flat feet. Now, why did you, why, why couldn't you serve in world war II if you had

00:07:10.500 flat feet? Uh, cause your feet would hurt if you were marching a long way. Okay. If you had flat feet,

00:07:20.780 wow, that was really the issue. Yeah. Your feet would hurt and you may not be able to accomplish all

00:07:26.800 that you had to accomplish because you were going to be marching a lot. You were going to be, you were

00:07:31.980 going to be climbing Hills and marching across Europe. Wait. So my dad couldn't join the Marines

00:07:38.760 because he had flat feet, but somebody's who's pregnant can be in our, I mean, does anyone think 0.99

00:07:47.560 that's a good idea? Haven't we been told for the past several decades that like the worst thing you

00:07:53.580 can do is not stand up when there's a pregnant woman on like the subway, you're supposed to stand 1.00

00:07:58.600 up and let them sit down. If you're on a train, you stand up and give them the seat, right? Hey,

00:08:02.520 don't treat them any different. Toots likes it. So what? They get a little pregnant. They take care 0.99

00:08:09.520 of that. You know what I'm saying? It's like, we don't want pregnant women to be killed. Is that a

00:08:14.880 bad, bad instinct? Babies. Yeah. And women, women and the babies like that. We'd like them both to 1.00

00:08:20.320 live. That's, I know this is crazy and controversial in the society. We want the children to live and the

00:08:24.900 mothers to live. I mean, imagine if you are captured and you're a woman, you know, you're 0.98

00:08:31.080 going to get worse treatment and I'm sorry, but it is in men and it should be, and we should never 1.00

00:08:37.020 squash this in men. It is in men to protect women and children first and never ever allow anyone to

00:08:46.380 squash that. So somebody is on your team and they're a woman and they're captured. It is in men 0.67

00:08:52.440 to just want to go and focus to save them, to make sure they're not captured because they know

00:08:59.900 they're going, they know what's going to happen to that individual. If they're pregnant, can you 1.00

00:09:05.980 imagine what, what they could do to the woman using the child? Are we insane? We're insane.

00:09:16.000 A woman can't even, they're not even supposed to eat really spicy food, but they can fly 1.00

00:09:21.680 sorties over Afghanistan when they're pregnant. It's no sushi. It doesn't really make any sense.

00:09:28.140 It doesn't really work. Sure. Take some, dodge some bullets. Again, I, you know, like that doesn't

00:09:32.300 mean that they're, they're trying to like complete these two issues where like if a woman who's 0.95

00:09:37.740 working in the military should not like lose her job because you got pregnant. No one is saying

00:09:41.540 not. Right. But like to take them, to take someone who's pregnant who again, like we do 0.99

00:09:46.920 everything we can to try to help because we know they're doing something great for the

00:09:51.260 species and also it's very difficult. So we do what we can to move them out of the most 0.58

00:09:55.640 physically demanding roles. Uh, no, look, could we just boil it down? They were, they're talking

00:10:01.100 about body armor for pregnant women. Okay. That's what we're talking about. It's not like

00:10:06.720 talking about, Hey, you know, even the planes I want to fly. Well, can you fit between you

00:10:12.500 and the yoke of the plane? Okay. If you're that pregnant, we're not going to redesign the 1.00

00:10:17.220 planes, but if you're fine, I don't have a problem. We're talking about the entire military

00:10:22.980 when they start saying, well, we need bigger body armor. Excuse me, excuse me. No, I, I,

00:10:32.260 no, no, shouldn't be putting pregnant women in the place where they could get shot. Did 1.00

00:10:36.600 I miss it where we're, are we now using women on the front line? Because yes, women could 1.00

00:10:42.160 be in the military, but they were never frontline, uh, up until I think that's changed in somebody

00:10:50.120 from the military call. I think that is changed. So it's changed so much to the fact that now

00:10:55.500 not only can they be at the front line, but they can be on the front line. If they're pregnant, 1.00

00:10:59.460 you got a six month pregnant woman on the front lines, Jason Buttrell, who is, uh, you know,

00:11:05.240 our, our chief researcher and writer for the Glenn Beck TV program, uh, he was in the service

00:11:10.380 and he said at nine 11, when he was in Afghanistan, the biggest thing that they had to worry about,

00:11:14.800 he said, really, honestly, the only thing we were talking about was how many pregnant women

00:11:21.440 were part of the, the force. And how do we deal with all of these pregnant women? Wow. Really? 1.00

00:11:29.700 Yeah. I I've never heard that before. Yeah. I haven't either. So we've got, we're a little

00:11:35.500 out of control. The Pentagon should not be involved in politics at all. What they're doing is they're

00:11:45.300 politicizing the military. Does anyone who is a Democrat see how dangerous that is? You can say

00:11:55.120 whatever you want about Donald Trump. You can say whatever you want about Ronald Reagan, but they

00:11:59.600 did not politicize and they, and the Pentagon officials never would have allowed it. They must

00:12:07.760 stay neutral. That's why when you're, I mean, look at, they're doing purity tests and they're saying

00:12:14.260 if they were, if anybody was online and they were, uh, supporting anything that had to do with Donald

00:12:21.800 Trump losing the election because of, you know, shenanigans, uh, of any sort that was too

00:12:27.040 politically involved. They are now going after Tucker Carlson. I went through this when I was in

00:12:34.440 Tucker Carlson's position. I went through this. They perfected it on me. Well, it's been 10 years.

00:12:41.280 They have every lever of power. I had five people in the white house, five white house officials

00:12:50.280 go after me personally and use organizations to come after me, my job, my business, my family five

00:12:59.920 that had never happened before, but that's a political station. The white house, we just never

00:13:07.100 had done it, but Obama started it. So why not? This is the military. You cannot allow the military

00:13:17.720 to be politicized, not for the left, not for the right. It cannot happen. If it does, you now have,

00:13:28.160 you have stormtroopers. I don't care whose side it's on. You now have a force to enforce everything

00:13:35.960 or anything one political party or the other wants. And you know who used to agree with that?

00:13:41.220 The military. The military. The military used to agree with that. Now they're just participating in

00:13:47.260 it. Yeah. By the way, so this is sort of coming back to me now. Wait, wait, wait, wait. I can't

00:13:52.320 let that slide. You know, the generals for the National Guard said they wanted to get out of D.C.

00:14:00.240 Yes. They said, there's no reason for us. We need to go home. And then it was the higher ups.

00:14:05.120 So it's not all the military. Right. Right. So this kind of coming back to me, I think it will

00:14:10.500 with you guys as well. 2015, there was a 1988 rule that made it so women couldn't do a lot of roles 1.00

00:14:16.700 in the military that was lifted in 1994. At that point, it got up to about, they could do about

00:14:21.640 90% of the jobs in the military, but not frontline combat. That's what I thought. In 2015, Barack Obama

00:14:27.420 issued and the military as well issued a statement that they could do all roles now. So they are

00:14:35.080 up to 100%. Now, I don't know how common it is. I mean, but pregnant women is, to me, 0.91

00:14:42.140 is a totally different situation. But I mean, just from a physically demanding thing, it's

00:14:47.140 very difficult. It's a heck of a burden, right? To carry another human being inside of you

00:14:53.600 for nine months. It's the most important thing anyone can do. It's the most important thing

00:14:59.100 and the most significant thing anyone can do. And I have no problem with women fighting. 1.00

00:15:03.980 I have no problem with that. You want to do that? Some women are built for that. Some 1.00

00:15:08.200 guys are built for that. I mean, Gina Carano kicked a lot of people's asses. 1.00

00:15:12.180 And let me tell you something. If you're actually fighting for your children, don't ever get between

00:15:18.960 a mom and her. They're more fierce than men ever are. So I have no problem with that. Let's just

00:15:26.840 not put pregnant women in the line of fire. It's bad for a bazillion reasons. 0.86

00:15:35.380 The left has already done a lot of effort to try to kill the babies over the years.

00:15:39.000 Can we keep the mothers alive at least? 1.00

00:15:41.000 This is the latest effort.

00:15:43.120 We're talking to Bill O'Reilly. It's Friday. Get a recap of what he thinks is the most

00:16:05.400 important. I want to ask his opinion on something that is brand new. I have never seen this.

00:16:11.860 I've seen the government politicized. I've seen all of the branches of the government

00:16:17.540 politicized. Those are political branches except for the Supreme Court. But that has been politicized.

00:16:25.160 Now it's a political body. The one thing that we have trust in and the one thing that Americans have

00:16:33.420 always had trust in is our military is our military. And it's essential that we have a military that is

00:16:41.040 trusted and deserves our trust. It's not been politicized until now. The Pentagon has attacked

00:16:49.680 now Tucker Carlson by name. The Pentagon website attacked a Fox cable news host, a senior enlisted

00:16:59.900 leader in the U.S. space command, attacked Carlson by name. Uh, and, uh, I've never seen that before.

00:17:07.960 Bill, have you, it might've happened before in Vietnam era. Um, but what's going on is that what

00:17:17.500 people don't understand about the military is that the top echelon of it is, uh, they're appointed

00:17:24.080 people. So the secretary of defense, the head, uh, of the joint chiefs, these are appointed by

00:17:32.260 civilian politicians. So they're all going to do what the left wants them to do at this juncture.

00:17:39.080 Okay. And so, uh, when Carlson came out and said, look, it's, uh, it's not efficient, uh, pregnant 1.00

00:17:48.000 women in combat units, which is true. Um, then these people, because they're virtue signalers, 1.00

00:17:56.680 politically correct people, right? Right. That's the crew. Oh, you can't do that. Is this an issue

00:18:06.800 that I think is going to erode the capability of the U S military? No, it just signal that the military,

00:18:17.300 like everything else in this country is now full of virtue signalers. Well, it bothers me because

00:18:24.040 the secretary of defense Lloyd Austin has said that there are enemies I'm quoting enemies within

00:18:29.300 the military ranks. Uh, and they're trying to root out extremists without defining what those enemies

00:18:36.460 or extremists are and conservative Trump supporters, right? I'll define it for you. Right. I know that,

00:18:43.340 but they're not saying that themselves. Why would they ever say that? Right. They can't say that.

00:18:47.820 They, they also claim that, uh, Carlson shouldn't be listened to because he never served in the

00:18:53.420 military, but we have a civilian run military. It is by design that our civilians can criticize the

00:19:02.840 military. I don't think Biden served in the military. Did he? Uh, don't think so. Yeah. I don't think

00:19:10.700 so. Look that up. Okay. So, uh, if, if there's a military person saying, don't listen to anybody

00:19:15.620 because they didn't serve in the military, that means Biden is resigning as current commander in

00:19:19.860 chief, right? It would. It would. See, a logical guy like me, I don't take a lot of this seriously

00:19:27.520 because I know what the game is. And I know that military people play the game just like civilian

00:19:35.880 people. It's a huge bureaucracy. Right. Which makes me nervous because they are trying to make

00:19:42.940 the military now into an arm of a political party. I believe it's impossible for them to do that in

00:19:50.880 the rank and file. So traditionally, most military people come from the South, come from military

00:19:57.000 people, uh, come from conservative families. So they're not going to be able to change that culture.

00:20:02.440 You know, here's a good example. The culture on the college campus is changed because now you have

00:20:11.840 a punishing atmosphere on most colleges toward traditional conservative students and teachers.

00:20:20.120 In the military, that's not going to take root in my opinion. I could be wrong, but I, my theme is

00:20:27.620 on billoreilly.com that there's going to be a ferocious backlash against all this PC virtue signaling

00:20:34.380 cancel culture stuff. And that backlash is going to be seen in the midterm election next year, 2022.

00:20:42.960 You're going to see that. Now people go, Oh, the whole election's rigged. Okay. Look,

00:20:48.480 this time around the Republicans made big gains in the house. All right. So yeah,

00:20:55.600 there are questionable things that happened to presidential vote, but by and large, think the

00:21:01.040 folks are going to be able to cast a ballot that's meaningful next year. Now, again, I could be wrong

00:21:06.080 on all of this, but I don't see the military deteriorating because of some politically correct

00:21:14.620 leadership. I think you've already seen the deterioration of the military now, not necessarily

00:21:20.420 in the rank and not necessarily in the rank and file yet, but bill, you can't have everybody up on

00:21:26.200 the top, um, saying one thing and expect the military, uh, not to eventually change and morph into

00:21:34.420 that culture, especially a while for the colleges. It's been going on on college campuses

00:21:40.700 probably for a decade or more. And they weeded out all the conservative and traditional professors.

00:21:47.620 Uh, now they're, I mean, the college that I went to Marist college in Poughkeepsie, New York

00:21:52.000 was a working class traditional school. Now it's Loonsville, Boston U, where I have a master's in

00:21:58.600 broadcast journalism. When I was there under the president, John Silber, it was reasonable.

00:22:04.420 Now it's ranked, um, I think the fifth most liberal college in the United States. So this takes a while

00:22:13.760 to do this because the captains and the lieutenants really run the military, as you know, not the

00:22:21.860 secretary of defense. Nobody even knows him. Joe Biden doesn't know who he is.

00:22:26.060 Yeah, I did. I did. Who are you? Yeah. Or the, yeah. Or he didn't even really couldn't even

00:22:33.940 remember the name of that building over there, the Pentagon. Um, so let me ask you what is happening

00:22:42.540 with the troops in, uh, Washington DC. The general we found out this week of the reserves said,

00:22:51.020 we're pulling out. There's no reason for us to be here. And the Pentagon said, no, you're

00:22:56.980 not. Nope. You got to stay. Um, because this is what they call optics. So everyone knows that

00:23:06.460 the government's about to be overthrown by some guys in Idaho with bazookas. Everybody knows 1.00

00:23:12.320 that as soon as they can get a, you know, smirch Idaho. I mean, no, but I'm, I know, I know,

00:23:18.520 but the mountainous region back. Yes. Okay. Yes. All right. It's just my wife. My wife says

00:23:25.020 New England has a mountainous region in it too. So, all right. So let's, let's go to Vermont.

00:23:30.440 Okay. Yes. There's a few of them there. And as soon as they can get enough money for bus

00:23:35.200 tickets, you see, it's going to be a giant coup d'etat. So we've got to have the military

00:23:40.280 there. Meantime in Minneapolis, which could burn to the ground at any minute. All right.

00:23:45.660 They're, they're set up another zone like they did in Seattle where police are not allowed.

00:23:51.320 Well, they already have a, they already have a zone now. It's an armed military zone in,

00:23:57.440 uh, Minneapolis. And nobody seems to be covering that. No, no, you can't cover. I know, but the

00:24:03.660 governor of the state has called out the guard. Yes. Assume that the guard will go in and,

00:24:08.560 you know, knock over these cardboard boxes or whatever they're doing. Okay. But go ahead real

00:24:13.860 quick. I just have to, I have to get your thoughts on the border crossings. What is coming our way?

00:24:19.580 What is the strategy there, Bill? Here's the strategy. Everybody comes in. It's kind of like

00:24:24.300 an open house. Thank God it's Friday party. All right. Before COVID. Hey, I'm on no cover charge,

00:24:31.780 no minimum. Come on in. We'll have a blast. And, uh, again, Biden has no idea, but, you know, he's

00:24:39.500 Biden right now doesn't know where New Mexico is. All right. He is that someplace up by the Dakotas.

00:24:46.420 So you got an open border. That's what you have. And this is what people who voted for Joe Biden

00:24:54.680 should have expected. Okay. Again, next year, all of this has to stop or you're going to lose your

00:25:03.820 country. And that's the truth. Bill O'Reilly from billoreilly.com. You can pick up his book,

00:25:10.020 uh, killing crazy horse. And there's rumor that he has killing the mob. And you can read killing

00:25:15.340 the mob this weekend back. I don't have the book or someone to read it. I don't have the book. I can't,

00:25:20.540 I can't find the book anywhere. And if you refuse to send it to me, then, uh, what am I going to do?

00:25:26.640 Talk about a guy who doesn't know what's doing. Bill O'Reilly from billoreilly.com. We'll talk to

00:25:33.900 you next week. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:25:41.100 There's something happening in Texas that I think is really disturbing. Uh, governor Abbott,

00:25:54.900 who I've been a big fan of for a long time. I, I don't know what the hell is happening with him.

00:26:00.960 Uh, I just don't know. Uh, he has come out against gab and I think this is all about politics,

00:26:09.020 but you're messing with freedom of speech. I don't think there is a bigger defender in the media

00:26:14.120 of Israel than me. I am, uh, I have led campaigns against anti-Semitism. I've gotten the,

00:26:22.860 you know, the, uh, defender of Israel award presented, uh, to me by Benjamin Netanyahu. Uh,

00:26:31.420 and, uh, I mean, I, I got credibility there. Gab is under attack now by governor Abbott and saying

00:26:42.260 that they need to be regulated because there's anti-Semitic speech on Gab. I'm sure there is

00:26:49.600 because there's anti-Semitic speech in America and the world that doesn't make a platform that

00:26:56.980 doesn't edit people's material, uh, anti-Semitic. There are Jews and people who are pro-Jewish people

00:27:07.460 on Gab. You can't have a platform and then say, I'm going to make this a free speech platform,

00:27:14.220 but I'm going to pick and choose which speech I don't like is Gab. Their whole thing is we don't

00:27:23.340 edit speech. Now this looks to be like, uh, something where the Republicans are splitting

00:27:31.580 and governor Abbott is trying to, I don't know, play to, I don't know, Austin. I, I have no idea.

00:27:40.340 Uh, and Colonel Allen West is on the other side and Colonel Allen West is saying we have got to get

00:27:46.760 our, our foundation right and back to Texas principles, which is you may not like it, but

00:27:55.260 everybody has the same right. Uh, and I, I worry about Texas. I really, you lose Texas. You lose

00:28:05.020 the country forever. Yeah. I'd like to hear more about his explanation. I'd love to talk to Abbott,

00:28:09.400 but he won't come on. Uh, less than a week ago, he went, I mean, here's the headline,

00:28:14.560 Governor Greg Abbott backs bill to stop social media companies from banning Texans for political

00:28:18.660 views. Right. So he's, he's, he's in the middle of legitimately supporting like anti big tech type

00:28:23.860 of stuff. We've had his hard to, I mean, we we've had his attorney general on and I've asked him point

00:28:29.660 blank. Are you going to support people's right to free speech? I mean, we are the largest subscription,

00:28:37.640 uh, service for right of center, uh, viewpoints in the world. And we are based in Texas for a reason.

00:28:47.200 Are you going to defend us when people start to come? He said, yes, but how can you say that and

00:28:54.940 be consistent? If you're also going after gab, I'm missing something here. I think it's politics,

00:29:00.800 which I would be very disappointed in. Yeah. There does seem to be kind of a little power struggle

00:29:05.120 going on in Texas, uh, in the Republican party. I don't know. I mean, I don't, I'm not talking

00:29:09.680 about Texas values. Yeah. I'd like to hear at least his explanation of it. Yeah. I would too.

00:29:14.120 Um, but they, they, there's, you know, the gap, I'm not on gab. I don't, I don't know much about it

00:29:19.080 either. Um, but, uh, you know, certainly that's been the one that's been most highly, uh, presented

00:29:24.500 as like a, a home for speech that is, that everyone would disagree with. Right. Um, and that's been

00:29:31.720 the thing, you know, it's tough because the free speech social network thing is a tough platform

00:29:35.980 because you say that and you're like, okay, we're gonna give everybody free speech. So the people

00:29:39.220 that go there are the people that get banned from the other services. Right. And then they're also

00:29:43.060 the ones who want to push it to the limit. And they're the ones that want to push it to the

00:29:47.320 limit. So you wind up getting more as a percentage basis, more toxic content that maybe you don't

00:29:52.600 want as a, as a user though, obviously you should be able to control your own. You can control your

00:29:57.520 Ken. Right. I mean, I, I, I mean, at least I know on parlor, you can't, you know, I don't

00:30:01.480 know about gab, but you can control what you see and don't see. And you can do that on Facebook.

00:30:07.580 Yeah. Uh, you know, I mean, and you should be able to, right. Should be able to, but that's

00:30:12.480 your choice. Again, this is the thing that I think people, cause that's true. They have

00:30:16.460 all those tools on Twitter, on Facebook, everywhere. You can control your experience pretty closely.

00:30:20.720 The issue is the left does not want you to control your experience because they don't like

00:30:25.060 the way you're controlling it. Correct. They want to be able to control your experience

00:30:28.240 for you. This is the social media is the modern telephone. It is. Are you going to ban telephones

00:30:36.500 because some people say on telephones, things that you don't like, and some people just shouldn't

00:30:42.200 have telephones because they can organize people. That's insanity. It's insanity. This is the way

00:30:49.280 people communicate and there is going to be speech. You don't like become a free speech.

00:30:56.200 Absolutist. That does not make you an extremist. That makes you a constitutional American.
