The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guest： Dennis Prager ｜ 9⧸10⧸19

00:00:00.260 Hey, podcasters, it's Glenn and Stu, and we've got a good show for you today.

00:00:04.500 Of course, we're going to start it with some offensive things.

00:00:06.820 Chick-fil-A. Chick-fil-A, man, that's...

00:00:08.920 Sorry, I didn't even give you a trigger alert on that one.

00:00:11.820 Also, trigger alert. Stu does talk about...

00:00:14.400 Hey, guys.

00:00:15.200 Hey, guys.

00:00:16.140 And that's supposedly triggering people as well.

00:00:18.700 I mean, imagine the life you have to live when everything triggers you

00:00:21.820 and everything is a terrible tragedy.

00:00:23.760 But, you know, finally we are getting some positives

00:00:26.040 from some liberal presidential candidates.

00:00:32.260 Beto is positive that Americans are just ready to give up their guns.

00:00:36.300 And he doesn't have to confiscate them

00:00:38.480 because Americans are just going to buy into this

00:00:40.600 and they're going to give up their guns.

00:00:42.760 Also, it is 9-10, September 10th, the day before.

00:00:49.520 A date that changed America, and we're going to be talking about that a lot.

00:00:53.020 Also, Dennis Prager, he's got a new movie out called No Safe Spaces.

00:00:58.180 He's got a new book.

00:00:59.260 And, of course, he just came back from Washington, D.C.,

00:01:03.140 where he was testifying in a hearing about Google.

00:01:06.800 He stopped by our studios in Dallas to talk about that,

00:01:10.900 all on today's podcast.

00:01:12.000 You know, San Francisco just banned the word offender and addict

00:01:29.920 while changing convicted felon to justice-involved person.

00:01:35.740 Can you believe that?

00:01:37.760 Oh, my gosh.

00:01:38.780 Good thing they're on top of the important things

00:01:40.120 and not, you know, keeping poop off their streets.

00:01:42.520 When you ban words, you can no longer define right and wrong.

00:01:46.180 To ban words is to ban ideas.

00:01:48.420 It's just as bad as any book-burning in history,

00:01:51.520 and that is exactly what the left is doing.

00:01:54.500 Patriot Mobile was created to give conservatives a voice,

00:01:58.120 literally and figuratively.

00:02:00.120 Their plans are as low as $25 a month,

00:02:02.460 and you can get nationwide service

00:02:04.180 and U.S.-based customer service.

00:02:06.660 It's a great service.

00:02:08.800 Thousands of people in this audience have switched.

00:02:11.860 Right now, if you make the switch,

00:02:14.080 you can upgrade your phone, if you'd like,

00:02:16.140 to a brand-new Moto Z3 Play for only $5 a month.

00:02:20.000 It includes a 6-inch screen, expandable storage,

00:02:22.660 high-quality camera, and a whole lot more.

00:02:25.320 Switching is made really easy with Patriot Mobile.

00:02:29.720 PatriotMobile.com slash Beck.

00:02:31.860 This is the only phone company that is run by vets, 1.00

00:02:36.040 and it was started by vets.

00:02:37.880 They take some of their proceeds,

00:02:39.780 and they donate it to things like freedom of speech

00:02:43.040 on the conservative side.

00:02:46.020 Your phone company right now is probably in bed

00:02:48.780 with La Raza or Planned Parenthood.

00:02:52.700 Look it up.

00:02:54.000 You're giving your money to people

00:02:55.960 who are fighting against your values.

00:02:57.640 You need a great cell company

00:02:59.960 that gives you the same great cell service,

00:03:02.020 uses the same cell towers,

00:03:05.080 it saves you money, costs you less,

00:03:08.000 and it donates some of its proceeds

00:03:10.280 to go and help stand for the things that you stand for.

00:03:13.880 Go to PatriotMobile.com slash Beck.

00:03:16.400 That's PatriotMobile.com slash Beck.

00:03:18.920 Go there now.

00:03:20.240 PatriotMobile.com slash Beck.

00:03:22.820 Switch today.

00:03:23.900 You know what's really weird?

00:03:24.800 Have you seen the researcher?

00:03:26.840 We talked about him on Monday.

00:03:28.640 Have you seen the researcher in Sweden

00:03:31.000 that has said,

00:03:32.400 because of global warming,

00:03:33.760 we may have to start becoming cannibals? 0.59

00:03:38.300 Now, I'm not sure what canoe he rode over on,

00:03:42.820 but I don't think we need to become cannibals.

00:03:46.180 But you'll notice nobody was triggered by that.

00:03:48.980 The guy is saying,

00:03:50.560 global warming is going to get so bad,

00:03:53.300 we have to start eating people.

00:03:56.860 And no one was triggered.

00:03:58.980 Isn't that a little strange?

00:03:59.860 Because that would keep me up at night.

00:04:01.320 That'd be like one of those things,

00:04:02.440 are they going to come and eat me?

00:04:04.360 You know, I can't trust my neighbor.

00:04:06.340 He's all into global warming.

00:04:07.780 He may be making some sort of stew

00:04:10.240 that I'm going to be, you know,

00:04:12.260 the main ingredient in soon.

00:04:14.260 And you think that's scary to you.

00:04:16.280 Imagine if your name was stew.

00:04:17.940 That's really like you.

00:04:18.820 They're like, just add water.

00:04:19.940 They come for us first.

00:04:21.360 Right.

00:04:22.500 So you'd think that's the triggering thing.

00:04:25.380 However, nobody seems to be bothered by that.

00:04:28.620 Now, there's two stories here I want to give you.

00:04:31.020 Google has banned a family cafe in England

00:04:35.240 for promoting inappropriate and offensive,

00:04:38.700 hateful content.

00:04:39.680 Now, this is just a husband and,

00:04:45.120 I'm sorry, a woman and her friend. 0.88

00:04:48.420 She's 63.

00:04:50.060 He's like 65.

00:04:51.440 They have this cafe.

00:04:53.340 They decided to use this newfangled thing

00:04:56.000 to advertise.

00:04:57.680 And so they decided to buy some Google ads.

00:05:00.240 And they saw that their business

00:05:02.200 was really taking off.

00:05:03.620 And then they got a notice

00:05:06.040 that they were responsible for hate speech

00:05:08.740 and they were going to be banned by Google.

00:05:11.740 And they're like, hate speech?

00:05:13.060 Who's right?

00:05:13.540 Did you write something into the last ad?

00:05:15.820 What are we having, a Nazi rally here?

00:05:18.740 Apparently, it is because they were offering

00:05:22.140 a special on like Tuesday night 1.00

00:05:24.820 of faggots and peas. 1.00

00:05:29.320 Now, you might think that that's really bad 1.00

00:05:31.880 here in America to have faggots and peas, 1.00

00:05:34.420 but that's not what, 1.00

00:05:35.500 that's not what that word means.

00:05:37.580 Right.

00:05:38.100 I just don't know.

00:05:39.320 Right.

00:05:39.620 With it being,

00:05:40.360 with the American connotation.

00:05:41.960 But I'm talking about it in context.

00:05:43.400 I understand that.

00:05:45.120 We can come up with many examples

00:05:46.660 of ways that does not work on the air.

00:05:49.120 Well, anyway, it comes with an onion gravy

00:05:52.740 and it's a very, very traditional English meal.

00:05:59.500 Google has said they can't,

00:06:01.500 and like people,

00:06:03.300 I don't even know what it is.

00:06:04.140 Probably like eyeballs and brains. 0.99

00:06:05.780 I mean, the English eat really awful. 1.00

00:06:08.360 All of Europe. 0.87

00:06:09.240 All of stuff.

00:06:10.000 What's the thing from Kazakhstan

00:06:11.000 where it's like horse stew?

00:06:12.920 I don't.

00:06:13.680 It's like really.

00:06:14.980 I just, I don't want to.

00:06:16.360 You eat the horse before the human.

00:06:18.360 Right.

00:06:19.220 Do you?

00:06:20.800 I think so.

00:06:22.360 I mean, some people look delicious,

00:06:24.080 I suppose.

00:06:24.960 Right.

00:06:25.080 I don't know who does.

00:06:26.740 I've never looked at somebody who went,

00:06:28.600 hmm, I bet they taste delicious.

00:06:31.840 I've never thought that.

00:06:33.300 Yeah.

00:06:33.980 Well, you know, there's, it's a, it's a,

00:06:35.740 it's a, it's a niche market.

00:06:37.100 Yeah.

00:06:37.800 But I think some people.

00:06:39.240 I mean, I have looked at one of my cows

00:06:41.020 and thought, but it was more out of anger.

00:06:43.640 Somebody, one of the cows that is just like

00:06:45.420 mooing and waking me up in the morning

00:06:47.180 and I just look out the window and I like,

00:06:49.440 you are going to make a great steak.

00:06:51.060 You're taunting them with steak?

00:06:53.020 Oh, I do.

00:06:53.660 I do.

00:06:54.380 I don't think they know, but it still seems weird.

00:06:56.860 They don't know.

00:06:57.440 But when they misbehave,

00:06:58.400 I do talk to them about what a delicious burger

00:07:00.580 they will make.

00:07:01.500 You're like the mean farmer in a Charlotte's Web sequel.

00:07:03.960 I am, except, you know, I don't massage them,

00:07:06.920 but I take very good care of them.

00:07:08.340 I want them to be happy,

00:07:09.740 but I also want them to be hamburger at some point.

00:07:12.140 Happy on your plate.

00:07:13.160 Right.

00:07:13.480 Okay.

00:07:13.700 So here's the, so here's the thing.

00:07:16.020 People.

00:07:17.080 Okay.

00:07:17.520 Can we, can we stop now telling other cultures 1.00

00:07:20.740 what they can and cannot eat

00:07:22.340 while our culture in the West is telling people,

00:07:25.560 hey, by the way, we might be cannibals.

00:07:28.000 I mean, I mean, you know, you wouldn't want to say that,

00:07:31.260 but I mean, you know, you could say conservatives in peas

00:07:33.960 and a lot of people would be, okay, that's fine.

00:07:37.120 But if you said, and we're serving a dish,

00:07:39.520 conservatives in peas in brown gravy,

00:07:42.640 and it wasn't a traditional English dish,

00:07:45.480 it would still be okay.

00:07:46.880 Google would be like, that's fine.

00:07:48.700 You're slaughtering, you didn't have,

00:07:51.140 these aren't free-ranging conservatives.

00:07:52.800 You have them in a cage first, right?

00:07:54.740 You're torturing them just a little bit, right?

00:07:57.000 It's like the reverse of animal cruelty.

00:07:59.020 They want you to be more cruel to the meat you're eating.

00:08:01.460 Right.

00:08:02.680 This meat, we've tortured this meat,

00:08:04.780 this conservative meat its whole life.

00:08:06.960 It was born a conservative.

00:08:08.280 We've been torturing it.

00:08:09.380 It's now 87.

00:08:11.100 Have we skipped over the bugs though?

00:08:13.220 For a long time, they would,

00:08:14.960 you'd get these researchers to be like,

00:08:16.240 look, global warming's coming to keep everybody alive.

00:08:19.360 We need population control,

00:08:20.540 or we're going to have to start eating bugs.

00:08:22.000 That's the only place we can get protein.

00:08:23.460 This is not, this is not normal.

00:08:25.300 There is not anyone within the sound of my voice

00:08:27.760 that is a normal human being

00:08:29.440 that is saying to themselves,

00:08:31.440 yeah, I think that's where we're going to,

00:08:32.560 I think that's where we're headed.

00:08:34.040 We're going to have to eat bugs.

00:08:35.480 We might have to even go humans.

00:08:37.040 There's, there's no one.

00:08:38.140 There's no one.

00:08:38.900 Why are these stories huge?

00:08:41.940 Why are these stories about bugs?

00:08:43.740 Why do we see them on CNN and everything else?

00:08:47.040 There's nobody that actually believes that.

00:08:49.420 I think it's, the media chooses them.

00:08:51.440 First of all, they're somewhat salacious, right?

00:08:54.160 To the idea that we may be eating bugs one day

00:08:56.900 is a clickbaity story.

00:08:58.740 I think the other part of it though,

00:08:59.880 is it's another way to enforce

00:09:02.220 how dangerous climate change is.

00:09:04.660 And it's like, it's this bad guys.

00:09:06.980 You're not going to be,

00:09:07.840 Sonic is going to have cockroaches

00:09:09.860 instead of tater tots.

00:09:11.580 That's what you're going to have to deal with.

00:09:12.980 Later today, I'm having children in mac and cheese.

00:09:15.860 Children in mac and cheese?

00:09:16.860 Yeah, yeah.

00:09:17.580 You cut the children up

00:09:18.780 and then you just stir them in.

00:09:20.580 It's also good like in like beans,

00:09:23.880 children, pieces of children in beans,

00:09:25.980 also pieces of children in like SpaghettiOs.

00:09:28.420 You're not thinking of pork.

00:09:30.460 I might be pork. 0.99

00:09:31.040 I might be pork, okay.

00:09:31.900 I'm not sure.

00:09:32.640 I'm not sure.

00:09:33.320 Well, we were finding out in a trial in California

00:09:36.120 that apparently there's suppliers all over the place

00:09:38.260 if you go to Planned Parenthoods around America

00:09:40.320 in case you want to make some of these dishes.

00:09:42.160 That one didn't even... 0.81

00:09:44.100 Not even register.

00:09:44.780 That one didn't even register.

00:09:46.680 Didn't even register.

00:09:48.020 We have a story today of somebody

00:09:49.780 who is so triggered by you guys.

00:09:54.600 Now listen, you guys.

00:09:56.680 You can't say that.

00:09:58.360 That is so offensive.

00:10:00.200 That is triggering.

00:10:01.200 Can you imagine being so triggered

00:10:03.660 that when somebody walks in a room and goes,

00:10:06.460 hey guys, you're like, oh my gosh.

00:10:12.700 Please don't say that again. 0.99

00:10:15.300 That's a mental illness. 0.79

00:10:19.440 Yes, I think so.

00:10:22.440 You know now this,

00:10:23.420 are you familiar with this wonderful organization?

00:10:26.200 They are, I would say, largely responsible for the Beto thing.

00:10:31.660 They were the ones that...

00:10:32.900 What is the Beto thing?

00:10:34.380 Well, right now the Beto thing is 0%.

00:10:36.160 But the Beto thing was,

00:10:37.680 when he was going against Ted Cruz,

00:10:39.640 it sort of started with a viral video

00:10:42.560 about him talking about Colin Kaepernick.

00:10:44.540 Oh, okay.

00:10:45.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:10:45.420 So they were responsible for that.

00:10:47.160 They pulled a lot of Beto clips

00:10:48.660 and kind of made him into a little pseudo left-wing celebrity

00:10:51.280 for a while,

00:10:52.660 which is why he got into the race

00:10:53.940 when everyone told him,

00:10:54.780 you're going to win.

00:10:55.400 And then as soon as he got in,

00:10:56.440 he went from 15 to 12 to 9 to 6 to 4 to 2.

00:10:59.920 And it's about where he sits now.

00:11:01.660 So they came up with a new video

00:11:03.760 and it's to tell people

00:11:05.660 to understand that saying hey guys

00:11:08.840 to a group of people,

00:11:10.920 some of which might be women, 1.00

00:11:12.420 is just not okay.

00:11:13.640 It's not okay.

00:11:14.200 They want you to understand that.

00:11:15.300 And they're giving a very rational take.

00:11:17.060 Do we have this?

00:11:18.240 We do.

00:11:18.680 Let's listen to him.

00:11:20.000 Hey guys, welcome back to Now This.

00:11:21.780 Guys is a simple term.

00:11:25.080 It could mean boys

00:11:25.860 or if you're modern, hip,

00:11:27.760 it means people.

00:11:29.360 At first glance,

00:11:30.360 guys seems inviting,

00:11:32.000 friendly,

00:11:32.660 maybe warm,

00:11:33.580 even comedic at times.

00:11:35.000 Right.

00:11:35.420 But it,

00:11:36.520 like many male default terms,

00:11:38.700 should not be normalized.

00:11:40.240 Don't normalize.

00:11:40.920 It's an all-encompassing phrase.

00:11:42.580 Oh no.

00:11:43.180 Innocent as it may seem.

00:11:44.660 While we may understand

00:11:46.080 the word means no real harm,

00:11:48.140 with a deeper look,

00:11:49.260 you'll understand that we've been ignoring

00:11:50.860 the cognitive impact on women

00:11:53.180 as well as gender non-conforming folks.

00:11:56.260 Can you imagine living your life this way?

00:11:59.440 No.

00:11:59.640 Can I tell you something?

00:12:00.700 I understand why people do.

00:12:02.580 Okay.

00:12:03.220 I understand why people do.

00:12:04.420 There are those people

00:12:05.440 that are really triggered.

00:12:06.720 But then there are the do-gooders.

00:12:08.740 Look,

00:12:09.040 there are millennials that,

00:12:11.340 and people who aren't even millennials,

00:12:13.180 that are so desperate

00:12:14.720 for something of meaning.

00:12:17.380 Their life has no meaning.

00:12:20.200 There is nothing good to strive for.

00:12:23.760 And so the thing that you can strive for

00:12:25.740 is being wide awake

00:12:27.440 and not offending anyone.

00:12:29.940 And so when somebody says this,

00:12:31.900 you might think,

00:12:33.120 you know what, 0.99

00:12:33.580 that's ridiculous. 0.93

00:12:34.500 I'm not triggered by that. 0.91

00:12:36.280 But you know what?

00:12:37.360 Somebody might.

00:12:38.760 And so I'm going to dedicate my life

00:12:40.960 to making sure

00:12:42.180 that I'm bringing together

00:12:43.700 a better world.

00:12:44.840 They're actually living in this mindset

00:12:49.140 that they are doing good.

00:12:51.860 Oh, yeah.

00:12:52.200 They're doing,

00:12:52.760 they really are trying to do good.

00:12:54.900 Yeah.

00:12:55.260 Because nothing in their life has meaning.

00:12:58.520 There is no way to do real good

00:13:01.280 because everything is bad

00:13:03.300 except for this woke culture.

00:13:05.980 Right.

00:13:06.520 And it's like,

00:13:07.080 but it's fundamentally,

00:13:08.060 if you have to go on

00:13:09.880 an Indiana Jones-style

00:13:11.820 archaeological adventure

00:13:13.540 to find how it's offensive,

00:13:16.520 it's just not offensive.

00:13:18.020 Right?

00:13:18.620 Like, if you have to go through

00:13:19.640 and explain in multiple videos

00:13:21.400 as to why no one thinks it's offensive,

00:13:24.100 but it is,

00:13:25.640 it probably just isn't offensive.

00:13:27.760 Right?

00:13:28.040 Like, if what you're saying is,

00:13:29.520 look, everyone means this in a good way

00:13:31.540 and it doesn't seem offensive at all,

00:13:33.400 but it is,

00:13:35.200 well, maybe it's not.

00:13:36.240 Right.

00:13:36.680 Maybe there's somebody out there

00:13:38.620 that feels that way,

00:13:39.820 but there's also somebody out there

00:13:41.500 that thinks that John F. Kennedy

00:13:43.480 and Elvis are doing a concert,

00:13:45.920 you know,

00:13:46.180 someplace in Memphis Friday night.

00:13:48.340 It's not your job

00:13:49.020 to micromanage crazy at that level.

00:13:50.940 Right.

00:13:51.100 It's just not.

00:13:52.920 All right.

00:13:53.180 Back in just a second.

00:13:54.060 Speaking of Beto,

00:13:54.940 Beto says that he thinks Americans

00:13:57.660 are just going to give up their guns.

00:13:59.080 He trusts Americans.

00:14:03.460 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:14:06.680 Hey, it's Glenn.

00:14:18.040 And if you like what you hear on the program,

00:14:19.580 you should check out Pat Gray Unleashed.

00:14:22.180 His podcast is available

00:14:23.420 wherever you download your favorite podcast.

00:14:26.600 2010.

00:14:30.260 2010.

00:14:31.420 I'm sorry.

00:14:32.280 2001.

00:14:33.440 September 10th, 2001.

00:14:36.460 It was a different world.

00:14:38.160 It was a world where we,

00:14:39.580 we could go and wave goodbye to our family

00:14:43.560 as they went down the ramp to the airplane.

00:14:46.840 You didn't have TSA.

00:14:49.100 You didn't have people checking.

00:14:50.880 The doors on airplanes

00:14:52.220 that led to the pilot,

00:14:55.360 sometimes you would fly

00:14:56.420 and it would be open.

00:14:57.840 It wasn't a secure room.

00:15:07.540 The things we were worried about

00:15:09.560 are not the things

00:15:14.620 that we're worried about today.

00:15:16.100 We were still worried about politics.

00:15:17.780 We were still playing politics.

00:15:19.120 We were not that innocent.

00:15:20.800 We were still playing politics.

00:15:22.980 National Organization of Women 0.88

00:15:25.420 were in trouble on 2010.

00:15:29.260 Sorry, September 10th, 2001.

00:15:31.200 They were trying to get out of a scandal

00:15:38.860 that they were in about Andrea Yates.

00:15:41.400 Do you remember her?

00:15:42.860 The National Organization of Women

00:15:44.480 raised money for her

00:15:45.880 and then they had to backpedal real quick 0.99

00:15:48.540 and like, oh, she killed her kids. 1.00

00:15:50.300 That was in the news

00:15:54.100 we talked about on September 10th, 2001.

00:15:57.520 Gary Condit was in trouble for Chandra Levy

00:16:01.360 who he was not guilty of.

00:16:03.480 They finally found the person it murdered

00:16:05.060 but it looked like he was going to go to jail

00:16:07.540 at this point.

00:16:09.480 Yeah, Rudy Giuliani was in the news

00:16:11.820 because they had, I guess, come out

00:16:13.200 he had cheated on his wife

00:16:14.940 I think was when that was first coming out.

00:16:18.060 I was looking back at the show recaps.

00:16:20.120 This is from Friday, September 7th, 2001.

00:16:23.680 We couldn't tolerate Bill Clinton's cheating on his wife 1.00

00:16:25.780 but Rudy Giuliani is okay.

00:16:28.140 That was, then you had Michael Jackson

00:16:30.140 receiving a standing ovation

00:16:31.500 on the MTV Music Awards

00:16:32.740 and your question,

00:16:34.320 is there anyone in the audience

00:16:35.380 who doesn't think Jackson was fondling boys? 0.98

00:16:38.980 I mean, later on

00:16:40.160 you kind of have some more evidence on that

00:16:42.560 at least, I mean, now he's been convicted

00:16:44.140 via documentary

00:16:44.980 so we know he's guilty.

00:16:45.760 We know he's guilty.

00:16:46.660 Here's one.

00:16:47.760 We went back to the archives.

00:16:49.920 Do we have the audio

00:16:51.320 of the Shark Tank thing?

00:16:54.200 This is the Monday

00:16:55.420 before Tuesday, September 11th.

00:16:59.260 This is the Monday.

00:17:00.460 This is the broadcast

00:17:01.400 before we wake up the next day

00:17:04.260 and go on the air to say

00:17:06.200 we're under attack.

00:17:07.920 We were amazed at how

00:17:11.500 there was no real big news

00:17:15.960 at the time.

00:17:16.600 There was nothing that was really happening

00:17:18.300 at the time.

00:17:19.660 I want to show you

00:17:20.640 what the big thing on the show was

00:17:22.600 that week, that Monday.

00:17:25.020 Go ahead and play the Shark Tank.

00:17:26.200 No, this is not it.

00:17:30.700 The Shark Tank, if you have that.

00:17:36.040 Apparently not.

00:17:37.540 Do we just, yes or no

00:17:38.700 if we have it?

00:17:39.240 So the sheriff came in

00:17:41.320 to arrest, I don't know,

00:17:43.940 four, three, a hundred.

00:17:46.080 I don't really know.

00:17:48.500 We also had 14-year-olds

00:17:50.320 running in and out,

00:17:51.400 whole packs of them,

00:17:52.740 at least ten at a time,

00:17:55.520 running around.

00:17:56.640 They would go from one side

00:17:58.260 of the theater up the,

00:17:59.280 you know, because it was stadium seating.

00:18:00.960 We've got to stop.

00:18:02.040 We've got to stop.

00:18:02.360 That's a different thing.

00:18:03.180 Don't just play random clips.

00:18:04.400 That was just a random clip.

00:18:05.480 That one is about

00:18:07.080 a theater experience

00:18:09.320 that I had.

00:18:10.220 Yeah, which was,

00:18:10.920 I would, going back

00:18:11.940 and looking at the show,

00:18:12.540 it was about half the show.

00:18:13.720 The day before 9-11,

00:18:14.900 Glenn's whining about

00:18:15.860 going to see a movie

00:18:17.600 and there was loud kids in it.

00:18:19.080 Just like a get off my lawn. 0.90

00:18:21.100 It was bad.

00:18:21.980 I remember it now.

00:18:23.660 That's what grandpa always says.

00:18:25.420 Oh, he was.

00:18:25.960 It's always bad to grandpa.

00:18:27.140 It was.

00:18:27.980 But we were also,

00:18:28.780 just in the prior weeks,

00:18:31.860 we were talking about

00:18:33.420 facial recognition,

00:18:35.580 they were going to try

00:18:36.160 to use that in Ybor City.

00:18:37.880 They were going to try

00:18:38.780 putting cameras up in Ybor City

00:18:41.560 and we were talking about

00:18:42.560 how that's not good.

00:18:45.240 We were going to go swim

00:18:46.800 with the sharks

00:18:47.700 on the Friday

00:18:48.840 after September 11th.

00:18:50.960 It was,

00:18:51.400 that summer had been

00:18:52.420 a big summer of people

00:18:53.640 being bitten or eaten by sharks.

00:18:56.300 Meaning,

00:18:57.160 like one or two people.

00:18:59.180 And so,

00:19:00.560 we were going to,

00:19:01.960 I was going to,

00:19:02.740 and I was barely a swimmer

00:19:05.060 at the time.

00:19:06.000 I was definitely afraid

00:19:07.200 of water.

00:19:08.340 And so,

00:19:08.920 we were going to go

00:19:09.680 to some aquarium.

00:19:10.980 I don't remember

00:19:11.460 which one it was,

00:19:12.100 Atlanta or someplace.

00:19:13.960 Do you remember?

00:19:14.620 Where was that aquarium

00:19:15.520 that we were going to?

00:19:16.520 In Tampa.

00:19:17.200 Was it in Tampa?

00:19:18.020 Yeah, yeah.

00:19:18.340 Okay.

00:19:18.860 The aquarium in Tampa.

00:19:19.480 And I was going to go

00:19:22.340 swim with the shark

00:19:23.140 for charity that Friday.

00:19:26.260 And everything changed.

00:19:28.200 Now, let me show you

00:19:29.460 how much has changed.

00:19:31.900 Imagine Donald Trump

00:19:33.100 coming to town

00:19:33.960 or Barack Obama

00:19:34.860 coming to town

00:19:35.820 and you're the number one

00:19:38.320 local political talk show

00:19:40.460 and you don't mention

00:19:43.100 that the president

00:19:44.040 is actually coming to town

00:19:45.980 the next day.

00:19:47.100 This is the last thing

00:19:50.040 that was broadcast

00:19:50.940 on my show

00:19:52.260 the day before

00:19:54.480 September 11th.

00:19:55.320 This was the last

00:19:56.480 quote-unquote

00:19:58.080 innocence

00:19:58.800 of politics.

00:20:00.440 This was the only time

00:20:02.820 I talked about

00:20:04.340 President Bush

00:20:05.180 coming to read

00:20:06.220 to children

00:20:06.960 in Sarasota

00:20:08.460 the next morning.

00:20:09.920 Listen.

00:20:10.680 So, Mr. Beck,

00:20:29.520 your buddy W

00:20:31.620 is in town

00:20:32.820 this week.

00:20:34.620 I'm surprised

00:20:35.760 he's not going to be

00:20:36.460 on your show

00:20:37.160 since your lies 0.65

00:20:39.240 and false propaganda

00:20:40.300 is the only reason

00:20:41.540 he got elected.

00:20:42.380 I love this.

00:20:43.040 I'm still getting mail

00:20:44.800 on the election.

00:20:46.860 Let it go.

00:20:48.680 Please,

00:20:49.460 let it go.

00:20:52.540 Along with his

00:20:53.500 slimy brother,

00:20:54.600 Jeb,

00:20:55.100 that's the only reason

00:20:55.960 why he's in office.

00:20:57.320 I can't wait

00:20:58.440 to see Janet Reno 1.00

00:20:59.680 kick his butt. 1.00

00:21:02.200 Right. 1.00

00:21:02.680 So,

00:21:04.420 number one,

00:21:05.180 Florida can rebound

00:21:06.280 from the horrible funk

00:21:07.480 that it's been in

00:21:08.320 since Jeb took office.

00:21:10.000 And number two,

00:21:11.020 and most importantly,

00:21:12.380 I want to hear you

00:21:13.800 whine and eventually 0.67

00:21:15.200 collapse from frustration.

00:21:18.040 Frederick,

00:21:19.980 P.S.

00:21:21.240 Stop stealing our liberties,

00:21:23.240 harassing our Democrats, 0.75

00:21:24.740 and eating our food, 0.97

00:21:26.800 fatso.

00:21:27.880 We hate class!

00:21:30.160 Who's a Democrat?

00:21:30.960 We hate class!

00:21:32.820 Before 9-11,

00:21:34.340 saying that

00:21:35.940 I was not only

00:21:37.740 stealing their food,

00:21:38.520 but stealing liberties

00:21:40.520 from them.

00:21:41.440 So we were still

00:21:42.040 playing political games,

00:21:43.220 but the important part is

00:21:44.340 everyone remembers

00:21:46.520 where George Bush was

00:21:48.740 when he first heard

00:21:50.360 about the 9-11 Twin Towers.

00:21:52.760 He was in Sarasota.

00:21:53.920 He was in my market

00:21:55.300 at WFLA

00:21:56.300 in Tampa, Florida.

00:21:58.020 And he was reading

00:21:58.540 to children.

00:21:58.940 You remember those,

00:21:59.800 you know,

00:22:00.360 was it Andy Card

00:22:01.420 that came over?

00:22:01.860 Yes,

00:22:02.180 and whispered

00:22:02.760 into his ear,

00:22:03.820 Mr. President,

00:22:05.240 we're under attack.

00:22:08.480 The next morning,

00:22:11.100 everything changed.

00:22:14.280 And I am struck

00:22:15.520 this year

00:22:16.100 as we approach

00:22:16.940 the 20th

00:22:18.380 in a couple of years.

00:22:19.400 I am

00:22:21.140 impressed to share

00:22:28.100 with you

00:22:28.720 how far

00:22:31.640 we have come

00:22:32.860 in a negative way.

00:22:36.960 And the things

00:22:38.060 that we have lost,

00:22:39.540 much of it,

00:22:40.980 if not all of it,

00:22:43.260 stem

00:22:43.760 from the 9-11 attack.

00:22:46.840 both sides

00:22:49.940 have made

00:22:50.460 really bad mistakes.

00:22:52.940 Many Americans

00:22:53.980 have been wrong

00:22:54.640 about so many things,

00:22:56.580 including me

00:22:57.860 and this program.

00:23:00.580 We did

00:23:01.900 what we felt

00:23:03.120 was right.

00:23:06.800 And we've seen it now

00:23:08.280 come to bite us.

00:23:09.380 I want to

00:23:14.980 this week

00:23:15.640 spend some time

00:23:16.740 and just

00:23:17.220 look at things

00:23:18.600 in perspective

00:23:20.560 now.

00:23:21.100 Now we're far

00:23:21.860 enough away

00:23:22.500 and now

00:23:24.360 we should be

00:23:25.260 having the

00:23:25.780 conversations

00:23:26.460 asking ourselves,

00:23:31.300 wait a minute,

00:23:32.780 what was the

00:23:33.520 very first

00:23:34.280 piece of advice

00:23:35.300 we got?

00:23:41.000 Do you remember?

00:23:43.240 What are some

00:23:44.240 of the very

00:23:44.680 first things

00:23:45.420 that we did?

00:23:46.320 and our

00:23:50.720 kids do

00:23:51.480 not understand

00:23:52.760 the America

00:23:54.480 we lost

00:23:55.820 on September

00:23:56.420 11th.

00:23:59.780 I've told

00:24:00.400 this story

00:24:00.700 before,

00:24:01.040 my son and

00:24:01.500 I recently

00:24:02.180 were watching,

00:24:03.180 I think it was

00:24:03.740 The Producers

00:24:04.460 or something,

00:24:05.140 the old one

00:24:05.780 with Gene Wilder

00:24:06.800 and my son

00:24:08.400 said,

00:24:08.820 how did the

00:24:09.380 government

00:24:09.700 ever allow

00:24:10.540 this to be

00:24:11.020 made?

00:24:11.980 Because it's

00:24:12.660 so politically

00:24:13.180 incorrect.

00:24:13.820 I said,

00:24:14.320 how did the

00:24:15.160 what?

00:24:16.320 in my

00:24:17.840 house.

00:24:19.880 He has

00:24:21.100 never grown

00:24:21.940 up in a

00:24:22.740 world where

00:24:23.240 the government

00:24:23.980 hasn't been

00:24:25.340 dictating,

00:24:26.280 where the

00:24:27.100 mob hasn't

00:24:28.460 been dictating.

00:24:30.240 He doesn't

00:24:31.300 even understand

00:24:32.180 freedom the

00:24:32.920 way anyone

00:24:34.120 my age

00:24:34.900 understands

00:24:37.280 freedom.

00:24:38.360 We were

00:24:39.240 fighting for

00:24:39.860 freedom.

00:24:40.220 Listen to

00:24:40.540 what that

00:24:40.860 Democrat

00:24:41.220 said.

00:24:42.880 Stop

00:24:43.560 taking and

00:24:44.500 stealing my

00:24:45.160 liberties.

00:24:46.320 what were

00:24:49.940 the

00:24:50.080 liberties

00:24:50.360 that we

00:24:50.640 were

00:24:50.760 talking

00:24:51.040 about

00:24:51.260 then.

00:24:52.880 Look

00:24:53.420 where we

00:24:54.080 are

00:24:54.340 today.

00:25:01.560 So let's

00:25:02.440 start with the

00:25:03.640 first thing

00:25:04.360 that we were

00:25:04.900 told right

00:25:05.940 after September

00:25:06.900 11th.

00:25:07.660 and keep an

00:25:09.980 eye on where

00:25:10.620 we were on

00:25:11.760 September 10th.

00:25:12.700 Tomorrow is

00:25:14.460 the 18th

00:25:15.480 anniversary of

00:25:16.780 September 11th.

00:25:18.220 Let's try to

00:25:19.280 have some

00:25:19.660 perspective this

00:25:21.180 time around.

00:25:22.800 See where we

00:25:23.840 have been,

00:25:24.980 see where we

00:25:25.640 were,

00:25:26.540 see what we've

00:25:27.640 done,

00:25:28.700 and check it.

00:25:30.240 Is it making

00:25:30.940 things worse or is

00:25:32.020 it making things

00:25:32.640 better?

00:25:32.980 So why is

00:25:35.180 it we are,

00:25:36.600 well let's just

00:25:37.380 say that,

00:25:37.820 where are we

00:25:38.480 today?

00:25:40.000 Where are we

00:25:40.960 today?

00:25:43.200 We had mass

00:25:44.260 killings.

00:25:47.800 We had

00:25:48.960 Timothy

00:25:50.340 McVeigh.

00:25:52.100 We had

00:25:52.900 terrorism.

00:25:53.680 It was

00:25:53.960 overseas.

00:25:55.740 But we had

00:25:56.540 homegrown terror.

00:25:57.440 we were

00:26:00.280 arguing about

00:26:00.900 much of the

00:26:01.380 same stuff,

00:26:02.360 the debt,

00:26:03.260 deficit.

00:26:06.560 But where

00:26:07.280 are we,

00:26:07.700 where are we

00:26:08.520 today compared

00:26:09.720 to then?

00:26:11.040 Look at our

00:26:11.760 debt and our

00:26:12.300 deficit in

00:26:12.880 comparison.

00:26:15.980 We're now to

00:26:16.900 the point to

00:26:17.840 where we have

00:26:18.360 spent so much

00:26:19.300 money that

00:26:21.480 they're now

00:26:22.020 coming up with

00:26:22.860 quote,

00:26:23.640 modern monetary

00:26:25.120 theory,

00:26:25.700 which is

00:26:26.840 governments

00:26:27.280 can print

00:26:27.860 whatever they

00:26:28.440 want.

00:26:28.900 It has

00:26:29.280 never worked.

00:26:31.000 It is,

00:26:31.700 it will fail

00:26:32.500 every time.

00:26:34.000 Money is

00:26:35.460 a fee,

00:26:36.100 is fiat.

00:26:36.940 It is,

00:26:37.480 it replaces

00:26:38.300 something of

00:26:39.100 value.

00:26:39.500 It represents

00:26:40.160 something of

00:26:41.000 value.

00:26:42.060 And if you

00:26:42.840 don't value

00:26:43.740 anything,

00:26:44.400 it doesn't

00:26:45.880 have any

00:26:46.300 value.

00:26:47.340 Well,

00:26:47.940 full faith and

00:26:48.500 credit of the

00:26:48.800 United States,

00:26:49.500 check the full

00:26:50.220 faith and

00:26:50.620 credit in the

00:26:50.980 United States

00:26:51.480 of America

00:26:51.900 right now.

00:26:53.040 How do you

00:26:53.400 feel about it?

00:26:55.100 September 10th,

00:26:56.040 2001,

00:26:57.280 I still

00:26:57.680 believed in

00:26:58.280 our

00:26:58.420 institutions.

00:27:00.440 I thought

00:27:01.220 we had

00:27:01.560 problems.

00:27:04.620 And I

00:27:05.460 didn't like

00:27:06.400 the way we

00:27:06.900 were behaving.

00:27:10.360 But I

00:27:11.100 still believed

00:27:12.020 in,

00:27:13.780 I still

00:27:14.500 believed that

00:27:15.020 we believed

00:27:15.980 in the same

00:27:16.880 things.

00:27:17.380 you know,

00:27:25.580 the Patriot

00:27:26.080 Act wasn't

00:27:26.600 written after

00:27:27.220 September 11th.

00:27:30.280 The Patriot

00:27:31.060 Act was

00:27:31.380 written in

00:27:31.700 the 90s.

00:27:36.680 And the

00:27:37.200 Patriot Act,

00:27:37.880 it never was

00:27:39.320 introduced because

00:27:40.260 it,

00:27:41.740 nobody,

00:27:42.440 nobody,

00:27:42.900 everybody was

00:27:43.340 like, 1.00

00:27:43.500 you're crazy. 1.00

00:27:43.920 you're going 1.00

00:27:45.220 to put

00:27:45.360 everything,

00:27:45.780 you're going

00:27:45.940 to have

00:27:46.120 a Department

00:27:46.700 of Homeland

00:27:47.320 Security?

00:27:51.200 The worst

00:27:52.220 thing that I've

00:27:52.940 purchased at

00:27:53.820 auction,

00:27:54.520 historic piece,

00:27:55.900 is a chair

00:27:57.480 for the

00:27:59.100 questioning of

00:28:00.320 those people

00:28:01.400 of interest

00:28:02.600 by the

00:28:03.960 Nazis.

00:28:04.280 And I

00:28:06.100 bought it

00:28:06.600 because what

00:28:07.220 it is

00:28:07.520 branded on

00:28:08.440 the bottom

00:28:09.040 of the

00:28:09.880 seat of

00:28:10.580 this chair.

00:28:12.040 And in

00:28:12.840 German,

00:28:13.720 it basically

00:28:14.800 translates to

00:28:15.800 Department of

00:28:16.480 Homeland Security.

00:28:20.420 We didn't

00:28:21.200 have,

00:28:21.900 we didn't

00:28:23.800 have the

00:28:24.200 wiretapping

00:28:25.080 abilities.

00:28:26.700 We didn't

00:28:26.940 have FISA

00:28:27.600 courts,

00:28:29.120 secret courts,

00:28:30.560 being able to

00:28:32.280 go into a

00:28:32.880 library and

00:28:33.560 say,

00:28:33.820 I want

00:28:34.460 all of

00:28:34.840 this

00:28:35.040 information.

00:28:35.660 And by

00:28:35.900 the way,

00:28:36.280 if you

00:28:36.760 even call

00:28:37.680 for an

00:28:38.120 attorney,

00:28:38.840 if you

00:28:39.280 even tell

00:28:40.100 an attorney

00:28:40.900 you are

00:28:42.500 violating the

00:28:43.200 law and

00:28:44.040 you can go

00:28:44.800 to prison

00:28:45.220 for it.

00:28:46.060 We didn't

00:28:46.760 have any

00:28:47.180 of that.

00:28:50.400 We put

00:28:51.180 it in

00:28:51.480 because we

00:28:51.880 were panicked

00:28:52.660 for our

00:28:53.200 own safety.

00:28:56.420 You know,

00:28:57.640 the idea

00:28:59.500 that Donald

00:29:00.540 Trump is,

00:29:02.300 and I

00:29:02.560 shouldn't say

00:29:02.860 this,

00:29:03.020 that the

00:29:03.820 administration

00:29:04.680 has floated

00:29:06.240 out there

00:29:06.820 about

00:29:07.280 Harper.

00:29:08.780 That's

00:29:09.360 exactly like

00:29:10.340 the Patriot

00:29:10.920 Act.

00:29:11.220 That's not

00:29:11.600 coming up

00:29:11.960 now because

00:29:12.420 of gun

00:29:13.040 control.

00:29:13.760 That's been

00:29:14.460 in the

00:29:14.720 works since

00:29:16.380 about 2002.

00:29:18.700 And it

00:29:19.400 came about

00:29:20.220 because of

00:29:21.500 the Patriot

00:29:22.180 Act,

00:29:22.680 because everybody

00:29:23.800 was so

00:29:24.340 freaked,

00:29:24.880 we allowed

00:29:25.400 the Patriot

00:29:26.000 Act just

00:29:26.400 to roll

00:29:27.060 in.

00:29:27.440 and the

00:29:29.640 Patriot

00:29:29.980 Act said

00:29:30.340 we need

00:29:31.060 total

00:29:32.740 intelligence.

00:29:38.620 Total

00:29:39.300 intelligence,

00:29:41.180 meaning total

00:29:42.600 intelligence on

00:29:43.540 every person

00:29:45.040 in America.

00:29:46.480 America.

00:29:47.680 They wanted

00:29:48.540 to find a

00:29:49.320 way to

00:29:49.840 where we

00:29:50.460 could,

00:29:50.940 as a

00:29:51.380 government,

00:29:52.400 know exactly

00:29:53.440 who was who,

00:29:54.480 where they

00:29:54.920 were, what

00:29:55.560 they were

00:29:55.900 doing, and

00:29:56.580 can we

00:29:57.100 predict and

00:29:58.000 stop bad

00:29:59.000 things from

00:29:59.620 happening.

00:29:59.980 that's why

00:30:04.480 we're in the

00:30:04.820 situation now

00:30:05.640 where the

00:30:06.600 administration

00:30:07.060 is talking

00:30:08.440 about a

00:30:08.780 proposal to

00:30:09.440 use Google

00:30:10.500 Home,

00:30:11.840 Amazon Echo,

00:30:14.200 and Fitbit

00:30:15.660 and Apple

00:30:16.460 Watches for

00:30:18.220 everybody to

00:30:19.960 make sure if

00:30:20.600 there's somebody

00:30:21.180 that is

00:30:21.780 disturbed,

00:30:23.140 they shouldn't

00:30:23.600 have a gun.

00:30:25.480 That's putting

00:30:26.360 all of us

00:30:27.280 under

00:30:27.900 surveillance for

00:30:29.400 the few that

00:30:29.960 might be

00:30:30.340 disturbed.

00:30:32.200 We would

00:30:33.040 have never

00:30:33.620 done that.

00:30:35.200 In 2001,

00:30:37.060 we were still

00:30:38.080 saying I'd

00:30:38.480 never give my

00:30:38.940 fingerprints to

00:30:40.960 the United

00:30:41.340 States, but

00:30:42.420 we gladly gave

00:30:43.600 them to

00:30:43.980 Apple.

00:30:44.880 We gladly

00:30:46.040 gave them

00:30:46.680 everything they

00:30:48.080 asked for.

00:30:52.480 The

00:30:53.160 horrors that

00:30:55.580 are happening

00:30:56.100 now in

00:30:56.680 China, I

00:30:57.600 believe we

00:30:58.220 are just

00:30:58.780 two to

00:30:59.640 five years

00:31:00.400 away from

00:31:01.740 I think

00:31:02.440 we're two

00:31:02.800 years away

00:31:03.320 from not

00:31:03.720 being able

00:31:04.080 to get out

00:31:04.480 of this

00:31:04.740 box.

00:31:06.620 And you 0.98

00:31:07.340 damn well 0.96

00:31:08.080 better hope 0.98

00:31:08.720 that we

00:31:09.480 come to

00:31:09.840 our senses

00:31:10.300 before that.

00:31:11.080 vote.

00:31:13.400 But all of

00:31:14.680 this is

00:31:16.900 because of

00:31:18.140 September

00:31:18.820 11th.

00:31:19.440 We have

00:31:20.060 done so

00:31:21.180 many things

00:31:22.400 to ourselves

00:31:23.340 and built

00:31:24.500 this box

00:31:25.500 that we're

00:31:25.940 all living

00:31:26.480 in because

00:31:27.420 the first

00:31:28.000 thing we

00:31:28.520 were told

00:31:29.060 to do,

00:31:29.820 our American

00:31:30.540 duty, does

00:31:31.320 anybody remember

00:31:32.060 it?

00:31:34.060 Go

00:31:34.780 shopping.

00:31:36.460 Go spend

00:31:37.820 money.

00:31:38.340 money.

00:31:39.380 We were

00:31:40.080 wrong from

00:31:40.920 the start.

00:31:44.380 The best

00:31:45.200 of the

00:31:45.440 Glenn Beck

00:31:52.760 Hey, it's

00:31:53.680 Glenn, and

00:31:55.220 program, you

00:31:55.820 should check

00:31:56.240 out Pat

00:32:02.360 Dennis Prager,

00:32:04.920 a dare I say,

00:32:06.200 a living legend,

00:32:07.040 a guy who

00:32:08.140 started talk

00:32:09.400 radio right

00:32:10.260 around the

00:32:10.580 time that we

00:32:11.060 did.

00:32:11.380 I think you

00:32:11.680 got into

00:32:12.000 syndicated talk

00:32:12.700 radio about

00:32:13.060 99, and we

00:32:14.040 started in

00:32:14.560 2000, syndicated

00:32:17.860 in 2001.

00:32:20.220 Welcome to

00:32:20.800 the program,

00:32:21.340 Dennis.

00:32:21.520 How are you?

00:32:22.900 Well, let me

00:32:23.480 just say, you

00:32:24.760 were totally

00:32:25.240 right in saying

00:32:25.920 we're friends,

00:32:27.140 and that's one

00:32:28.260 of my most

00:32:28.780 cherished terms,

00:32:30.100 and I'm very

00:32:30.760 touched by what

00:32:31.480 you said, because

00:32:32.400 coming from you,

00:32:33.380 it matters.

00:32:34.460 Thank you for

00:32:35.000 saying that.

00:32:35.220 I needed to

00:32:35.300 say that.

00:32:35.760 By the way,

00:32:37.540 I also use

00:32:38.280 Relief Factor.

00:32:39.260 Do you really?

00:32:39.800 Yeah.

00:32:40.180 Yeah.

00:32:40.920 He also told

00:32:41.760 me he listens

00:32:42.240 to this show,

00:32:43.160 driving in,

00:32:44.360 to do his

00:32:44.820 show.

00:32:45.740 Now I have

00:32:46.360 evidence that

00:32:47.080 I can, now

00:32:47.840 I can go

00:32:48.220 after him.

00:32:48.940 Obviously

00:32:49.400 stealing all

00:32:50.700 of our,

00:32:51.040 taking our

00:32:51.600 ideas and

00:32:52.200 then making

00:32:52.640 them actually

00:32:53.920 work.

00:32:55.360 And then,

00:32:56.180 so anyway,

00:32:57.220 Dennis, tell

00:32:58.780 me about what

00:32:59.360 happened with

00:33:01.040 Google in

00:33:02.040 Washington.

00:33:02.820 What's happening

00:33:03.520 with your,

00:33:03.960 your lawsuit?

00:33:05.760 We at

00:33:07.100 DePrager U,

00:33:08.200 let me just,

00:33:08.860 a very quick

00:33:09.600 background for

00:33:10.320 your audience

00:33:10.860 in case they

00:33:11.420 don't know.

00:33:11.980 I don't expect

00:33:12.580 everybody to

00:33:13.280 know.

00:33:13.520 We have a

00:33:13.920 billion views

00:33:15.120 a year.

00:33:15.640 That's a

00:33:16.160 very successful

00:33:17.140 thing, and I'm

00:33:19.080 very proud of it

00:33:19.900 because we do

00:33:20.420 very serious

00:33:21.040 work.

00:33:21.920 We put out a

00:33:22.700 video each week

00:33:23.580 of five minutes

00:33:24.340 each on everything

00:33:25.960 from the Electoral

00:33:27.600 College to the

00:33:28.540 Ten Commandments.

00:33:29.180 Which is fantastic.

00:33:29.780 Both of those

00:33:30.200 are fantastic.

00:33:30.760 Well, we work

00:33:32.100 very, very, very

00:33:33.580 hard, I

00:33:34.580 include it, on

00:33:35.420 every single

00:33:36.080 video.

00:33:36.940 We have

00:33:37.300 four former

00:33:39.240 prime, three

00:33:40.000 former prime

00:33:40.700 ministers, four

00:33:42.200 Pulitzer Prize

00:33:43.140 winners.

00:33:43.620 We're very

00:33:43.980 serious about

00:33:44.800 the people that

00:33:45.680 make the videos

00:33:46.620 for us.

00:33:48.280 And it is a

00:33:49.940 conservative voice.

00:33:51.640 It's fact-based

00:33:52.960 because truth

00:33:53.640 comes first.

00:33:54.400 And that's

00:33:56.300 why when people

00:33:56.920 say, oh,

00:33:57.480 Priggy University's

00:33:58.400 propaganda, but

00:33:59.300 they never have

00:34:00.040 once offered an

00:34:01.240 example of

00:34:02.080 anything we've

00:34:02.920 said that isn't

00:34:03.500 true.

00:34:04.920 And we're not

00:34:05.600 going to have,

00:34:06.080 you know, people

00:34:06.560 like Alan

00:34:07.080 Dershowitz or the

00:34:07.960 prime minister of

00:34:08.740 Canada, Harper,

00:34:10.720 they're not going

00:34:11.180 to make a video

00:34:12.920 for a place that's

00:34:13.880 propaganda.

00:34:14.640 Right.

00:34:15.160 We have professors

00:34:16.060 from Stanford and

00:34:17.200 Harvard and

00:34:18.120 Princeton and, I

00:34:19.460 mean, it's, but

00:34:21.140 that's all they

00:34:21.620 could say.

00:34:21.980 They could smear.

00:34:22.800 But we're very

00:34:23.320 effective in this

00:34:24.180 bothers people like

00:34:25.100 Google.

00:34:25.500 Google is a

00:34:26.000 left-wing operation.

00:34:27.140 I say it with no

00:34:28.200 joy.

00:34:28.680 It's not an

00:34:29.120 accusation.

00:34:29.680 It's a fact.

00:34:30.620 You saw the video

00:34:31.920 of their lamenting

00:34:33.480 the Trump election.

00:34:35.000 It was like a day

00:34:35.940 of mourning, if not

00:34:37.740 four years of

00:34:38.740 mourning at Google.

00:34:39.900 And they are, and

00:34:40.920 beyond mourning, they

00:34:42.240 are taking steps.

00:34:43.360 That's correct.

00:34:43.840 To make sure it

00:34:44.860 never happens again.

00:34:46.020 They said it.

00:34:46.840 Yes.

00:34:47.080 We have the video.

00:34:48.380 They say we can't

00:34:49.260 let this happen again.

00:34:51.120 Well, Prager

00:34:51.780 University is 65%

00:34:54.160 of our billion views

00:34:55.460 are people under

00:34:56.360 35.

00:34:57.740 That's another big,

00:34:58.980 big deal.

00:34:59.900 And that bothers

00:35:00.740 them because they

00:35:01.660 think that they own

00:35:02.800 youth.

00:35:03.480 And they do.

00:35:04.460 From elementary

00:35:05.200 school through

00:35:05.800 graduate school and

00:35:06.840 television and movies,

00:35:07.920 they do own youth.

00:35:08.820 But we're making an

00:35:10.180 inroad.

00:35:11.300 So they started

00:35:12.060 putting our videos

00:35:13.620 out of nowhere,

00:35:15.560 which are largely

00:35:17.420 aimed to young

00:35:18.420 people.

00:35:19.180 Right.

00:35:19.200 They started putting

00:35:20.500 some of them on

00:35:21.660 the restricted list.

00:35:22.600 Restricted means if

00:35:23.400 you have a filter

00:35:24.020 against pornography

00:35:24.860 and violence, you 0.79

00:35:25.840 can't see the video.

00:35:29.040 Similarly, schools

00:35:30.200 and libraries.

00:35:32.600 That's automatic.

00:35:34.280 And it's demonetized.

00:35:36.380 So what are some of

00:35:37.520 the examples?

00:35:38.160 I remember Victor

00:35:38.860 Davis Hanson, who's

00:35:39.920 as gentle a human

00:35:41.040 being as walks on

00:35:42.180 earth.

00:35:42.340 Is that correct?

00:35:43.200 Absolutely.

00:35:44.200 In the book of

00:35:45.940 opposites, there's

00:35:47.400 him and flamethrower. 0.95

00:35:49.400 Right.

00:35:49.780 Right.

00:35:50.340 Right.

00:35:50.640 He does a history

00:35:51.560 of the Korean War.

00:35:52.820 It was put on.

00:35:53.980 There's no rhyme or

00:35:55.340 reason except this.

00:35:56.240 If we have 15, we

00:35:58.060 have we have how

00:35:59.160 many videos have we

00:36:00.240 put out?

00:36:01.160 300 something.

00:36:02.800 15 of them.

00:36:03.780 That's one out of

00:36:04.320 20 is on Israel. 0.89

00:36:05.900 Half of them are on

00:36:06.860 the restricted list.

00:36:07.820 They hate Israel and 0.99

00:36:08.720 they hate America.

00:36:09.640 So if America is

00:36:10.780 depicted as beautiful

00:36:11.880 and if Israel

00:36:13.300 depicted as beautiful,

00:36:14.420 we have the head of

00:36:15.360 British forces in

00:36:16.440 Afghanistan saying how

00:36:17.900 moral the Israeli 0.89

00:36:18.900 army is.

00:36:19.940 That's on the

00:36:20.680 restricted list.

00:36:22.020 Alan Dershowitz,

00:36:22.940 Professor Harvard,

00:36:24.280 Hillary Clinton,

00:36:25.320 Democrat, gives a

00:36:26.940 video on Israel's

00:36:27.940 founding, the legality

00:36:29.500 of Israel's founding.

00:36:30.560 It's on the

00:36:30.960 restricted list.

00:36:32.060 But the ultimate is

00:36:33.220 my video.

00:36:34.080 I did one on each

00:36:35.720 of the Ten

00:36:36.120 Commandments.

00:36:37.280 And what's crazy

00:36:38.740 about this is in

00:36:40.800 the testimony, the

00:36:42.580 guy from Google

00:36:43.420 said, well, murder

00:36:45.000 and a lot of

00:36:45.820 he led with

00:36:46.800 churches, a lot

00:36:47.680 of churches, you

00:36:48.960 know, they don't

00:36:49.520 want that kind of

00:36:50.340 stuff.

00:36:51.580 Thou shalt not

00:36:52.540 murder is something

00:36:54.320 in the churches.

00:36:55.420 It was crazy.

00:36:56.700 I was there.

00:36:57.580 This was in the U.S.

00:36:58.700 Senate.

00:36:59.060 Yeah, I was there.

00:37:00.520 So when he said

00:37:01.660 he was asked by

00:37:02.760 Senator Cruz, for

00:37:03.760 whom I give great

00:37:04.520 praise, he's really

00:37:05.420 pursued this.

00:37:06.260 Yes.

00:37:06.400 And so Senator

00:37:08.040 Cruz asks the

00:37:09.420 Google representative,

00:37:11.300 why if you put

00:37:12.640 Mr. Prager's

00:37:13.420 video on the

00:37:14.940 Ten Commandments

00:37:15.780 on the restricted

00:37:16.940 list?

00:37:17.140 We have his

00:37:18.020 response and then

00:37:18.800 I want to get your

00:37:19.380 response.

00:37:20.040 Here it is.

00:37:21.340 Listen.

00:37:21.920 Mr. Prager is a

00:37:23.400 YouTube success

00:37:24.200 story.

00:37:25.600 Mr. Prager has

00:37:26.780 more than two

00:37:27.620 million followers,

00:37:29.940 as I understand

00:37:30.600 it.

00:37:32.320 Mr. Prager is

00:37:33.800 and all of Mr.

00:37:36.080 Prager's content

00:37:36.820 is available on

00:37:38.220 YouTube, the main

00:37:40.560 YouTube channel.

00:37:41.940 We do have a very

00:37:45.120 small percent of our

00:37:46.900 subscribers who opt

00:37:48.560 for what we call

00:37:49.720 restricted mode.

00:37:50.900 These are mostly

00:37:51.620 institutions like

00:37:52.940 churches or perhaps

00:37:54.980 schools where

00:37:56.300 there's certain more

00:37:58.500 mature content that

00:38:00.640 they choose not to

00:38:01.680 have access to.

00:38:02.580 Now this is less

00:38:03.140 than two percent of

00:38:04.680 the overall YouTube

00:38:06.180 watchers, but we do

00:38:07.740 feel it's important

00:38:08.700 to give those

00:38:09.920 institutions that

00:38:11.320 degree of control.

00:38:13.180 There is a small

00:38:14.460 percent of Mr.

00:38:15.500 Prager's overall

00:38:16.840 content, as I

00:38:17.740 understand it, less

00:38:18.720 than a quarter of

00:38:19.440 his content that is

00:38:20.560 deemed to be in

00:38:21.840 that category of

00:38:22.840 more mature.

00:38:24.380 And so for that

00:38:25.380 very small percentage,

00:38:27.380 they will not have

00:38:28.520 access to Mr.

00:38:30.420 Prager's more mature

00:38:33.180 content.

00:38:34.240 Other than that, it

00:38:35.880 is complete.

00:38:36.480 And just to be clear,

00:38:37.640 this is content, for

00:38:39.200 instance, may be

00:38:40.000 perfectly acceptable to

00:38:41.760 watch, but for those

00:38:42.620 who perhaps references

00:38:43.820 to violence or war or

00:38:45.520 rape, things like that,

00:38:47.120 all of Mr.

00:38:47.920 Prager's, the Ten

00:38:49.180 Commandments, all those

00:38:50.020 are available to 98% of

00:38:52.700 YouTube viewers.

00:38:53.680 98.5, I believe.

00:38:55.420 1.5% of our viewers

00:38:57.900 have activated, again,

00:39:00.660 this restricted mode.

00:39:01.820 Churches.

00:39:02.660 Okay, stop, stop,

00:39:03.800 stop, stop.

00:39:04.800 Okay, so the key, the

00:39:06.200 key one is that he was

00:39:07.240 asked, well, why is

00:39:08.260 Mr. Prager's video on

00:39:10.000 murder restricted?

00:39:11.520 So, shall I give his

00:39:12.740 answer?

00:39:13.160 Yeah, go ahead.

00:39:13.640 Okay, so his answer

00:39:14.520 was because it mentions

00:39:15.620 murder.

00:39:16.760 So, I was sitting there

00:39:18.860 and I truly felt that I

00:39:20.800 had entered the

00:39:21.360 twilight zone.

00:39:22.920 Kids cannot hear.

00:39:25.320 An adult tell them,

00:39:27.340 thou shalt not murder.

00:39:28.960 I mean, I went to

00:39:29.780 Jewish religious school,

00:39:31.340 yeshiva, from kindergarten

00:39:33.020 and I learned that at

00:39:34.640 five, God doesn't want

00:39:36.180 me to murder.

00:39:37.520 Somehow the rabbis who 1.00

00:39:38.800 taught it to me didn't

00:39:39.680 think it was restricted

00:39:40.760 for people over 18.

00:39:42.720 Right.

00:39:43.140 They thought it was a

00:39:44.080 good thing at five to

00:39:45.480 know God forbids

00:39:47.240 murder.

00:39:48.720 So, when I got up

00:39:51.820 there, I prefaced my

00:39:53.580 comments, my prepared

00:39:54.660 remarks by saying, we

00:39:56.480 will now, now that I

00:39:57.680 know why that has been

00:39:58.820 restricted, we will

00:39:59.980 produce a Google

00:40:00.980 friendly Ten Commandments

00:40:02.560 titled The Nine

00:40:04.100 Commandments.

00:40:05.940 We will remove thou 1.00

00:40:07.820 shalt not murder.

00:40:08.660 By the way, as of now,

00:40:10.000 five of the Ten

00:40:10.960 Commandments are on the

00:40:11.740 restricted list.

00:40:12.540 They're so angry at us,

00:40:13.920 which proves that it

00:40:14.800 has nothing to do with

00:40:15.720 content, that they have

00:40:17.300 added another hundred

00:40:18.340 restricted since I

00:40:19.440 testified in the Senate.

00:40:20.900 that proves it has

00:40:24.240 nothing to do with

00:40:25.040 algorithms or violence.

00:40:27.100 Listen to what he's

00:40:27.580 saying.

00:40:27.940 Listen to what he's

00:40:28.380 saying.

00:40:28.920 He's saying 2% of the

00:40:32.700 population, Google

00:40:35.100 users, they opt out.

00:40:37.120 Correct.

00:40:37.220 So, he's saying it's

00:40:38.220 the user's choice.

00:40:39.560 That's right.

00:40:40.360 However, he then is

00:40:42.740 playing the role of the

00:40:43.780 MPAA and saying, we

00:40:46.020 decide which ones fall

00:40:48.120 into that category.

00:40:49.580 That's right.

00:40:50.220 And we think thou

00:40:51.520 shalt not murder is in

00:40:53.240 that where churches

00:40:54.300 wouldn't want it.

00:40:55.980 Churches wouldn't.

00:40:57.240 That's crazy.

00:40:58.440 I mean, I could see if

00:40:59.380 people don't want and do

00:41:00.360 not commit adultery.

00:41:01.580 I get it.

00:41:02.960 That's a toughie.

00:41:05.640 Thou shalt not murder.

00:41:06.980 So, he also said a very

00:41:09.080 small percentage.

00:41:10.320 Since when is 25%?

00:41:12.140 I only hear that from

00:41:12.840 Is that amazing?

00:41:13.780 That's amazing.

00:41:14.940 Why should they

00:41:16.080 complain?

00:41:16.720 Yeah.

00:41:16.920 A very small percent.

00:41:18.440 2% of the viewers.

00:41:19.840 Okay, 2%.

00:41:20.440 That's small.

00:41:21.420 It's millions and

00:41:22.440 millions of people.

00:41:23.580 I know that.

00:41:24.260 But 25%.

00:41:26.260 Think of that.

00:41:27.180 Millions and millions of

00:41:28.060 people at 2%.

00:41:29.080 And 25% of the

00:41:31.440 videos.

00:41:31.580 360 videos.

00:41:33.440 Right.

00:41:33.700 That's quite a number.

00:41:35.900 But the thing that your

00:41:38.780 listeners need to

00:41:40.260 understand is this is the

00:41:43.680 tip of the iceberg.

00:41:44.540 If they prevail, if they're

00:41:47.460 allowed to do this, then

00:41:50.780 that will be it for free

00:41:53.940 expression for conservatives.

00:41:56.600 That's, we're moving, the

00:41:58.640 internet is moving toward the

00:42:00.300 university.

00:42:01.220 The university is basically

00:42:03.540 conservative frei.

00:42:06.120 The German word free meaning

00:42:08.100 empty.

00:42:08.880 It's devoid of.

00:42:10.140 That's, that's where the

00:42:12.340 internet will be headed.

00:42:14.260 If, if they get a green

00:42:15.860 light from either Congress, I

00:42:18.340 don't want suppression of

00:42:19.760 private enterprise.

00:42:21.080 Of course not.

00:42:22.080 I'm a conservative.

00:42:23.160 I don't want the government to

00:42:25.060 interfere.

00:42:26.060 But the analogy I give to

00:42:28.400 which no libertarian has been

00:42:30.200 able to give me an answer is

00:42:32.120 what if Delta Airlines or better

00:42:34.180 Delta American and United

00:42:35.820 announced, all those who come

00:42:38.840 on board our plane with the

00:42:41.500 New York Times can come on.

00:42:43.580 But if you're carrying the

00:42:44.700 Wall Street Journal, you may

00:42:46.100 not fly with us.

00:42:47.220 After all, they're private

00:42:48.500 companies.

00:42:49.840 Why?

00:42:50.240 I want all the libertarians who

00:42:52.000 have attacked PragerU, believe

00:42:53.540 it or not.

00:42:54.020 In Reason Magazine at the

00:42:55.340 American Enterprise Institute,

00:42:56.700 they have attacked us.

00:42:58.060 They have defended Google on

00:43:00.280 libertarian grounds.

00:43:01.480 Well, it's private enterprise.

00:43:02.660 So fine.

00:43:03.140 So if the only conduit or the

00:43:06.080 conduit of almost all

00:43:07.280 information is bigoted, that

00:43:10.080 doesn't matter to you.

00:43:11.020 It's still just private

00:43:12.020 enterprise.

00:43:12.720 So here's the that is the

00:43:13.760 problem.

00:43:14.340 And and the way to

00:43:16.780 for me, at least, to express

00:43:18.960 this is Google,

00:43:21.440 Microsoft, Apple,

00:43:24.380 Facebook, all of that, that

00:43:25.960 has become the public

00:43:27.940 square.

00:43:28.640 That is the place to express

00:43:30.880 yourself.

00:43:31.800 That's right.

00:43:32.300 So if yes, if you if you are

00:43:34.620 not allowed, a platform is a

00:43:37.920 public space that everyone

00:43:40.220 can gather, no matter your

00:43:41.700 view.

00:43:42.060 You can't fly.

00:43:43.380 Correct.

00:43:44.280 Correct.

00:43:44.600 Dennis, have you heard a good

00:43:46.780 solution to this?

00:43:49.520 I mean, I know there are people

00:43:50.760 talking about regulation.

00:43:52.060 I do not.

00:43:52.900 They want regulation.

00:43:54.860 Those those organizations want

00:43:56.800 it because they'll decide they'll

00:43:58.820 design it just like the big three

00:44:00.920 automakers did in in under

00:44:03.540 Franklin Roosevelt.

00:44:04.940 We can't let them design the

00:44:07.460 regulation because it will it will

00:44:09.080 make it too onerous for anybody

00:44:11.080 who's coming up.

00:44:11.900 It can be a competitor.

00:44:13.740 So what do we do?

00:44:14.700 Well, they're they're they have

00:44:18.300 been granted by Congress the they

00:44:22.280 have been granted the ability to

00:44:26.100 avoid all lawsuits.

00:44:27.600 Correct.

00:44:29.660 Because they're a platform.

00:44:31.520 Right.

00:44:32.200 An open forum.

00:44:33.400 Right.

00:44:34.600 They they operate, though, as if

00:44:37.140 they're a publisher.

00:44:38.620 See, the New York Times does not have

00:44:40.620 to publish Dennis Prager or PragerU.

00:44:42.820 Clearly, we totally understand.

00:44:44.820 Yeah.

00:44:45.220 But the New York Times is liable for

00:44:47.720 for what they do.

00:44:50.020 Yes.

00:44:50.320 Because I'm not a libel for libel.

00:44:52.220 Right.

00:44:52.400 They're not an open platform.

00:44:54.240 That's right.

00:44:54.680 Right.

00:44:54.980 So they want it both ways.

00:44:57.180 I've I've talked to people in

00:44:59.320 Congress and the Senate and many

00:45:01.440 of them who agree that they're a

00:45:02.940 real problem are like, well, that

00:45:04.260 that's really not going to work.

00:45:06.000 We can't.

00:45:06.400 I don't understand the argument

00:45:07.960 against that.

00:45:08.900 I don't either.

00:45:10.160 Have you heard that from anybody?

00:45:11.480 No, no, I agree with you.

00:45:13.460 It's.

00:45:15.200 At least the thing that bothers

00:45:17.220 me when when I read conservatives

00:45:19.100 who who are agreeing with

00:45:21.920 Google, which is amazing, but it

00:45:23.960 happens.

00:45:25.580 The the the thing that I don't

00:45:27.840 understand, they don't recognize

00:45:29.420 that it's even an issue.

00:45:30.940 They will say, well, I Google

00:45:32.380 PragerU is and I came up with some

00:45:35.320 positive things.

00:45:36.240 Uh, because normally if you do

00:45:39.100 PragerU is you will find

00:45:40.960 propaganda lying.

00:45:42.980 There's usually a negative after

00:45:44.660 but that's we that's we don't build

00:45:46.460 our case on that.

00:45:47.360 We build it on the censorship

00:45:48.420 issue, but they don't even

00:45:50.840 acknowledge there are conservatives

00:45:52.520 who don't acknowledge the threat

00:45:54.740 to conservative thought inherent to

00:45:56.860 what is happening.

00:45:57.580 It's not even that.

00:45:59.180 I mean, I'm sure you have talked

00:46:01.740 to what's his name up in Boston

00:46:03.860 that is is running the running

00:46:06.520 the tests on our election.

00:46:07.980 Yes.

00:46:08.580 Robert Epstein.

00:46:09.860 He's amazing.

00:46:11.100 He's amazing.

00:46:11.520 He's amazing.

00:46:12.240 And he is a liberal Democrat.

00:46:14.540 Right.

00:46:14.820 He's a guy who I mean, I talked to

00:46:16.560 him a couple of weeks ago.

00:46:17.520 He was heartbroken about Hillary

00:46:20.220 Clinton coming out against him.

00:46:21.560 He's like, I'm I'm a supporter.

00:46:23.260 No, no, no.

00:46:23.580 And they're destroying me.

00:46:25.340 Yes.

00:46:25.600 And he's saying and I think this is

00:46:27.300 true.

00:46:27.560 The more I study up on on

00:46:30.740 AI and Google and everything

00:46:32.920 else, these algorithms, I think

00:46:35.480 we're about two years away from

00:46:36.680 being in a trap.

00:46:37.460 We're not going to be able to get

00:46:38.580 out of.

00:46:39.200 That's right.

00:46:39.680 He says that this may be the

00:46:41.600 last election that is, quote,

00:46:44.400 free.

00:46:44.740 And he said, I'm not even sure if

00:46:46.360 this one's going to be free.

00:46:48.540 Well, I did a search just as an

00:46:50.040 example.

00:46:50.420 I did a search on global warming

00:46:52.280 or climate change or both.

00:46:55.140 And there is a lot of stuff out

00:46:57.600 there by scientists that is

00:47:01.280 that is skeptical, not that the

00:47:03.760 world is getting warmer, but why

00:47:05.980 why why it is and especially

00:47:08.060 about the solution.

00:47:09.240 Correct.

00:47:09.720 There are many reasons why the

00:47:11.240 world might be getting warmer and

00:47:12.720 it and it also is probably not a

00:47:14.480 catastrophe.

00:47:16.260 You can't find that page after

00:47:18.780 page of results is the same

00:47:20.880 thing, just the exact same thing.

00:47:24.620 And I remember reporting on my

00:47:26.680 radio show years ago, 10,000

00:47:28.920 scientists who signed a petition

00:47:30.560 saying, wait a minute, we're not so

00:47:32.680 sure that it's anthropocentric, that

00:47:34.860 it's human made thoughts.

00:47:37.240 10,000 scientists, no coverage.

00:47:39.340 So this is this is a we live in

00:47:43.700 different worlds, the left and the

00:47:45.200 right.

00:47:45.720 I live in their world because I'm

00:47:47.660 immersed.

00:47:48.180 I watch CNN, MSNBC.

00:47:50.080 I read the New York Times every day,

00:47:51.800 but they don't read us or hear us or

00:47:54.060 study under us.

00:47:55.560 That is why we win all the debates

00:47:57.640 with them.

00:47:57.980 I've debated the left.

00:47:58.940 In fact, you'll love this.

00:47:59.940 This is the best yet.

00:48:01.440 I debated a guy at a San Francisco

00:48:03.100 synagogue, a left wing Jew, which is

00:48:05.320 almost redundant, but not entirely.

00:48:07.300 I could say it because I'm Jewish.

00:48:09.180 So I debate this guy at a San

00:48:11.300 Francisco synagogue and I don't try

00:48:17.180 to defeat opponents.

00:48:18.760 I I'm I'm hang on.

00:48:20.580 I got to take I got to take a break

00:48:21.880 and I don't want to wreck the end of

00:48:23.060 the story.

00:48:23.420 You will love the story.

00:48:24.940 Hang on just a just a second.

00:48:26.960 That's why he wins, by the way, is

00:48:28.980 he is not trying to win.

00:48:31.260 You go into a debate and you're trying

00:48:33.100 to convince the other side or win.

00:48:35.320 And you're going to lose.

00:48:36.800 Just speak the truth.

00:48:37.660 Dennis Prager from the Dennis Prager

00:48:39.080 show.

00:48:39.980 Also Prager University.

00:48:41.960 More with him and his new movie.

00:48:44.140 No safe safe spaces.

00:48:46.740 Dennis Prager from Prager University.

00:48:50.620 He also is the author of a great

00:48:53.160 series of books called The Rational

00:48:55.500 Bible.

00:48:56.200 We'll talk to him about that in a

00:48:57.700 little bit.

00:48:58.100 His documentary No Safe Spaces, which

00:49:01.460 is fantastic.

00:49:02.440 That is coming out.

00:49:03.920 And he was just talking about a

00:49:06.560 conversation that he was having in a

00:49:08.580 synagogue debating a very liberal

00:49:11.980 individual at a synagogue in San

00:49:13.920 Francisco.

00:49:14.700 Correct.

00:49:15.260 So all I wanted to tell you was so

00:49:17.020 this was this is on YouTube.

00:49:18.580 You could watch it.

00:49:19.660 I guess Dennis Prager debates San

00:49:21.640 Francisco synagogue or something like

00:49:23.220 that.

00:49:24.280 So whenever I debate people on the

00:49:27.880 left or anybody, I have no desire to

00:49:31.520 humiliate anyone.

00:49:32.600 In fact, Jewish law forbids me from

00:49:35.040 humiliating.

00:49:35.860 I take that very seriously.

00:49:37.100 That's why I banned Monica Lewinsky 1.00

00:49:40.340 jokes on my program.

00:49:41.680 No one no one could call in and tell

00:49:43.140 us.

00:49:43.400 As I said, the woman is created in God's

00:49:45.360 image.

00:49:45.620 You cannot mock her on my program.

00:49:47.100 So I take that stuff very seriously.

00:49:50.460 But I won the debate.

00:49:51.900 I mean, I knew inside I won the

00:49:53.700 debate.

00:49:54.160 And I always win debates against

00:49:55.440 leftists because they don't know any

00:49:57.920 of our arguments and we know all of

00:49:59.620 theirs.

00:49:59.960 I mean, just on that alone.

00:50:01.140 Forget whether I'm a good debater.

00:50:02.880 But the only point I wanted to make

00:50:04.560 was that's on the restricted list.

00:50:08.320 That is.

00:50:08.960 Yes.

00:50:09.900 Because the lefty lost the debate.

00:50:13.260 What were you debating?

00:50:15.300 Israel.

00:50:15.740 Well, it should, you know, Jews and 0.99

00:50:17.660 Israel, Jews and American policy and

00:50:20.300 so on.

00:50:21.900 So violent, Dennis.

00:50:23.160 Oh, it's all the San Francisco

00:50:25.140 synagogues. 0.84

00:50:25.880 I mean, the synagogues are known for 1.00

00:50:28.180 orgiastic moments.

00:50:30.140 Exactly.

00:50:30.940 It's beyond belief.

00:50:32.320 Yeah.

00:50:32.900 You're reading your rational Bible.

00:50:36.500 It is.

00:50:37.640 I think I actually wrote a review of it

00:50:39.560 someplace.

00:50:41.120 It is not.

00:50:43.340 When somebody says this is my life's

00:50:45.080 work.

00:50:46.180 Yeah, whatever.

00:50:48.040 With you, this is your life's work.

00:50:50.080 And it reads that way.

00:50:52.400 You this is a lifetime.

00:50:54.760 That's right.

00:50:55.340 It is.

00:50:55.720 Of of learning and wisdom that you

00:50:58.420 have poured into this.

00:50:59.520 And it for conservatives that are Christian.

00:51:03.840 If you haven't gone through the Old Testament

00:51:06.360 with a rabbi or somebody who really,

00:51:11.440 really knows Hebrew, you're you are you're 0.96

00:51:15.300 water skiing over the Old Testament.

00:51:17.820 I mean, it's it's phenomenal how deep it is.

00:51:22.520 Well, thank you.

00:51:24.000 Yes, it is deep.

00:51:25.380 And I hope Mike.

00:51:26.160 It's called the rational Bible.

00:51:28.320 Your listeners should just read the reviews on

00:51:30.440 Amazon.

00:51:31.540 I I want to when I wrote this, I wanted a peasant 0.98

00:51:36.360 in China who never heard of Moses to be moved.

00:51:41.460 That's my that's the reader I have in mind.

00:51:44.180 Will this make sense to a rural Chinese person?

00:51:48.200 Because that's why I call it the rational Bible.

00:51:50.580 It either has something to say to everyone or it has

00:51:53.500 nothing to say to Jews and Christians.

00:51:55.200 That's my view.

00:51:56.580 And the number of people who have said, you know

00:51:59.360 what, I came into this in atheist reading.

00:52:01.960 People could read it on that.

00:52:02.980 Anyway, I just I'm always self-conscious about

00:52:05.620 promoting something I've done.

00:52:06.820 I can only say this.

00:52:07.740 Nobody writes a Bible commentary to get wealthy.

00:52:10.220 So I'm not grounds.

00:52:12.420 I feel but it is Dennis.

00:52:13.600 It is.

00:52:14.520 It is.

00:52:16.380 That's what we've lost.

00:52:17.960 That's it is what we've lost.

00:52:19.300 No, because that's where this country is rooted

00:52:22.700 in the wisdom of the Bible, period.

00:52:26.120 Abraham Lincoln didn't go to church,

00:52:27.860 but he kept the Bible on his nightstand.

00:52:29.860 That's the difference.

00:52:30.860 I have any Reddit.

00:52:31.600 I have a I have a letter right after his death

00:52:35.100 from the guy who was his preacher in in Illinois,

00:52:39.200 who said back in early 1850, he would come and he

00:52:44.680 I would invite him to preach.

00:52:46.500 He knew the gospel and he knew the Bible better than I did.

00:52:49.960 That's his preacher.

00:52:51.900 Nobody nobody understands that.

00:52:54.080 He read it.

00:52:55.020 He knew it.

00:52:56.120 He he may not have been your average churchgoer.

00:52:58.860 Right.

00:52:59.080 There's deep, profound wisdom.

00:53:01.140 It's the deepest book ever written.

00:53:02.640 And anyway, I've tried to explain it.

00:53:04.160 And I hope your listeners will read it.

00:53:05.840 So no safe spaces is coming out at the end of October.

00:53:09.260 Adam Carolla and I are this quote unquote stars.

00:53:12.320 But I give I give all the credit to the to the terrific

00:53:15.720 people who made the movie.

00:53:17.060 You sound humble, but I should let you know that Dennis

00:53:20.000 is is all blinged out.

00:53:21.440 He's gone totally Hollywood.

00:53:23.160 I mean, just look at that's right.

00:53:24.380 He's totally Hollywood now that he's in.

00:53:26.080 Yeah, exactly.

00:53:27.220 No, no, it's really it's really good.

00:53:29.880 The film.

00:53:30.500 I've seen it four times.

00:53:32.020 I get bored very easily.

00:53:33.920 It's one of the reasons I'm interesting.

00:53:35.600 God God gave me a very short attention span in order to be

00:53:39.580 interesting.

00:53:40.460 I'm serious.

00:53:41.340 I turned I turned the deficit into a plus because I remember

00:53:45.660 one of my first talks.

00:53:47.120 I swear to you in the middle of the talk.

00:53:49.360 I was 22, 23 years old.

00:53:51.280 I started very early.

00:53:52.380 And I said to myself while I'm talking, Dennis, you're boring

00:53:55.700 me.

00:53:56.560 And I will.

00:53:57.460 And I never.

00:53:58.460 That was the wake up call.

00:53:59.940 You must constantly be interesting.

00:54:02.300 Anyway, no safe spaces.

00:54:03.920 It's about what is happening to free speech on campuses.

00:54:07.900 Do you see a positive coming here, Dennis?

00:54:10.760 Do you see?

00:54:11.280 Do you?

00:54:11.660 Did you find positive things on campus?

00:54:14.120 Because you're you're you were targeting those people who were there.

00:54:17.240 There are a handful of courageous individuals.

00:54:19.400 We have a thing on Brett Weinstein, for example.

00:54:22.300 Brett Weinstein.

00:54:23.160 He is.

00:54:23.660 The guy's a total liberal.

00:54:26.080 He's at this college in Washington state.

00:54:28.700 And he one day they announce all whites should leave campus for a day.

00:54:32.920 He goes, I'm sorry.

00:54:34.100 I don't believe in that.

00:54:35.840 And you you want people will see what happened to this man in this movie.

00:54:41.200 It is.

00:54:41.580 It's a movie in a movie.

00:54:43.080 It is crazy.

00:54:43.940 It's crazy.

00:54:44.440 He has left the he has left that college.

00:54:46.320 He can't teach there anymore.

00:54:47.620 His life was endangered.

00:54:49.360 The his the the he was told by the university.

00:54:53.120 We can't protect you, nor will we.

00:54:55.240 Yes.

00:54:55.500 And he went to a public park.

00:54:58.040 Right.

00:54:58.560 And and held his class there.

00:55:00.400 I mean, it's an amazing brave guy.

00:55:03.540 It's yes.

00:55:04.120 And his story will rivet people.

00:55:06.780 So anyway, again, it's no safe spaces.

00:55:09.260 When's it open at the end of October?

00:55:11.320 OK.

00:55:16.500 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:55:19.180 Dennis Prager is going to be on television with us tonight.

00:55:31.720 We're going to go over some of the movie with him.

00:55:33.640 But also, I really wanted to talk to him about the changes that he is seeing.

00:55:37.780 If any, he lives kind of, you know, in the Los Angeles area.

00:55:41.060 And I've seen a change there.

00:55:43.360 I've seen people who have never voted for a Republican who are now quietly saying, 0.96

00:55:48.640 oh, I will vote for Donald Trump over these crazy people. 0.99

00:55:51.440 They have gone crazy. 1.00

00:55:54.040 And they don't they don't really even notice it.

00:55:57.680 The crazies, you know, did you see Jim Gaffigan when he was on Joe Rogan's podcast?

00:56:05.360 Yeah.

00:56:06.120 I want to play this.

00:56:07.580 Listen, listen to him discuss.

00:56:11.020 Being friends with conservatives, listen to this.

00:56:13.520 And it is weird because like six years ago and I did this interview and I talked about

00:56:19.580 it and and I could see the interviewer go, you're friends with someone that works at

00:56:24.520 Fox and I'm like, yeah, you know, it's like it's OK.

00:56:30.460 Yeah, it's OK.

00:56:31.520 He's not a monster.

00:56:32.940 Yeah.

00:56:33.120 He's not killing, you know, he's not putting children in cages.

00:56:37.500 Well, I'm good friends with Steve Hilton.

00:56:39.540 He has a show on Fox.

00:56:40.820 He interviewed Trump about my family and his family going on vacations together.

00:56:45.040 And it's like, why?

00:56:48.380 Like it's it's it's this strange thing where I'm like, I can understand how important these

00:56:56.960 beliefs are and I can understand how threatening democracy is and I can understand how we have

00:57:03.600 to face our history and and all these things.

00:57:06.780 But it's like the discourse has to remain, doesn't it?

00:57:12.300 Yes.

00:57:12.620 We have to be able to talk to each other.

00:57:14.000 And I think that's one of the things that kind of died with the Trump election.

00:57:17.780 People were like, you're with us or against us.

00:57:19.980 You're either for him or you're for the future and compassion and caring about everyone or

00:57:27.020 you're a monster and there's no there's no discussion about finances or the best way

00:57:34.020 to run the economy or international trade. 0.99

00:57:36.520 No, no, no, no, no, no.

00:57:37.300 You're you're with the good or the bad.

00:57:39.320 You're binary.

00:57:40.060 It's one or zero.

00:57:40.960 You're black or white.

00:57:41.880 You're one or zero.

00:57:43.260 And that is the same thing that they criticized about W saying you're either with us or against

00:57:49.980 that says, which, by the way, being a father of daughters, you know, is also a line from

00:57:55.080 Beauty and the Beast.

00:57:56.500 Yeah.

00:57:59.060 But it is.

00:58:00.280 And appropriately so, right?

00:58:01.780 It's like very childlike.

00:58:03.720 Like that perspective is very childlike.

00:58:05.840 There's a lot of people that are conservative that are very good people.

00:58:08.420 Absolutely.

00:58:09.360 That's I, you know, here's another thing that I find very frustrating.

00:58:14.780 I feel as though I'm sometimes and sometimes I'll get messages on social media and they'll

00:58:21.820 be like, you know, that some of the people that like your comedy are Trump supporters.

00:58:27.040 And I'm like, I hope so.

00:58:29.840 I hope that I appeal to a lot of different people.

00:58:33.660 You know, I it's it's a very strange.

00:58:37.100 Like, I remember the success I had and I'm so grateful for the success that I've had

00:58:43.980 on Beyond the Pale.

00:58:46.160 I remember like I came back to New York after I had done this tour and you don't know with

00:58:50.280 stand up.

00:58:50.680 You don't know how long it's going to last.

00:58:52.120 You don't know what's going on.

00:58:53.400 And I came back and I remember someone reading an article.

00:58:56.940 Maybe it was in Time Out New York.

00:58:58.340 And they're like, he's very mainstream, mainstream.

00:59:02.040 And there was recently a New York Times article.

00:59:05.100 He's very conventional.

00:59:07.000 And I'm like, what is that?

00:59:08.780 Do you mean like conventional in that people want to go and see me perform?

00:59:13.480 Like that's a crime.

00:59:15.820 Yeah.

00:59:16.960 Jim Gaffigan, I will tell you, it's weird to hear that.

00:59:21.280 The Blaze Radio Network.
