00:00:05.420 chuck todd who i mean it was so bad they actually had to apologize for it but you need to hear how

00:00:10.560 bad the edit was that they made try to make someone in the trump administration look bad

00:00:15.300 um we also have some interesting information on ufos and there's you know it's maybe the most

00:00:23.540 interesting part of it is where it's coming from i mean it's the government saying it's true we'll

00:00:28.600 get into that as well also um we're going to talk about the tara reid interview with megan kelly that

00:00:33.960 happened over the weekend i think we have megan kelly on tomorrow's show uh to talk about it but

00:00:37.880 uh there's more you know she came off as pretty credible what do you think about it and also

00:00:43.400 carl manke he's the owner of a barber shop in michigan he is saying you know what i can't stay

00:01:37.060 welcome to the program on friday i took a show we were doing uh lightly i happen to believe what

00:01:52.100 carl sagan was true if we're alone in the universe it's a colossal waste of space um i don't believe

00:01:59.060 we're alone in the universe but i'm also not somebody who's like we gotta go to area 51 and get

00:02:03.740 those bodies and resuscitate them um i i don't know what i believe on ufos some of them i'm like i

00:02:12.740 don't know could be something the governments are developing you know i don't know i'm not an expert

00:02:19.660 in this well we had two experts on on friday's program on our television show the um glenn beck

00:02:28.980 exclusive on blaze tv and it was hair raising first guy was with the intelligence uh community

00:02:38.380 i think he was director of intelligence for um clinton and george w bush the other guy was the man

00:02:46.920 appointed to the role to look into ufos by general petraeus and i asked them at the very beginning

00:02:54.120 i said why is this all of a sudden coming out and why is the pentagon releasing stuff and they said

00:03:01.560 well the pentagon actually hasn't really released uh the stuff until this week they have come out and

00:03:09.060 they've said three pieces of film that you have seen uh are legitimate and they have no idea

00:03:18.440 what they are um they are officially unidentified flying objects the reason why they're doing this

00:03:27.800 is really important and i'll get to that here in a second let me show you one clip this is the one

00:03:33.500 that came out early 2000s this was after 9-11 and uh one of our one of our ships caught this

00:03:46.120 particular ufo and it doesn't look like anything here but what it does is remarkable it is something

00:03:56.580 the first time that we had caught an unidentified flying object on awack uh on uh ship radar the the

00:04:07.700 best radars we have it locked onto this both the ship and the plane the instrumentation

00:04:15.980 on the fighter jets that were dispatched to it also locked onto this uh and you had i think eight

00:04:23.220 eyewitnesses as well who were in the jet so this is the first time we had documented where the people

00:04:32.640 and the instruments all said the same thing and the reason why this is so significant

00:04:39.620 is because we were war gaming and this was uh engaging almost in a dogfight uh i had not heard this part

00:04:53.440 of the story uh but i had heard that there are these coordinates when you know when they say we're

00:05:01.840 going to dogfight they dogfight over an area and then there's like a safe zone it's outside of the

00:05:07.960 war gaming area and i had heard that when we had locked onto it and started to really get close

00:05:16.420 it went to the safe zone which to me would say um you know we don't want to fight we're just we're not

00:05:24.640 here to fight we're not hostile that's not what happened what happened is it went to the exact

00:05:31.620 coordinates of the center of the dogfight the the top secret coordinates that only the the fighters

00:05:43.460 had been given in a briefing so and i said to him what are the odds that that was you know by chance

00:05:51.160 and they said zero zero it was a message and the guy from the dia said it was a very clear message

00:05:59.580 now in the interview i found out why it's very clear and why this is starting to happen now why are we

00:06:07.300 starting to see more of this stuff and talk about it because they said things have changed not only can

00:06:15.140 we verify now but um they are targeting and examining and dogfighting if you will in very aggressive

00:06:28.060 manners our ships our military and we assume it's happening to others but it's definitely happened

00:06:35.940 with the united states uh with our military and our nuclear missile silos they have been tracked

00:06:43.820 this this one that i just showed you if you're watching blaze tv they tracked it for six days for six

00:06:51.640 days here's another one this is can you go to the this one see this one over this is about 50 feet

00:06:59.620 in diameter and it's flying just over the surface of the ocean they're going to try to capture it here

00:07:07.480 now the reason why they're celebrating it is traveling at about 2 000 miles an hour

00:07:17.120 and they're a 50 foot object moving that fast hard to grab onto but they got it now watch

00:07:24.700 there's no system of propulsion it stops at one point dead stops and hovers and then it goes from zero

00:07:37.560 to 6 000 in two seconds

00:07:41.840 so i said so why so why are we why are why is the pentagon telling us this they said because

00:07:53.080 we don't know if it's a threat but it has to be thought of as a threat until we know what it is

00:08:01.420 and they are convinced it does not come from earth because there's no technology that's even close to

00:08:11.420 this we're the leader in this kind of technology but even if somebody else was surpassing us with

00:08:18.820 secret research everything that they would be producing would be so radically different because

00:08:25.300 of the advancement of this technology this is a hundred times more than what we could even

00:08:31.020 imagine at this point and apparently we have pieces of some of these things and the alloy is not from

00:08:39.400 around these parts

00:08:40.400 and they think that we need to wake the american people up because we are being probed

00:08:50.020 pat gray joins us pat

00:08:55.140 what do you think of that i got it makes me question i mean if they're that advanced

00:09:03.100 they already know what they can do right why would they be probing us testing us they already know

00:09:08.300 i mean so yeah i think it's a good thing that we've not been destroyed already

00:09:12.880 he's right he he said that's the message that he thinks they're trying to send don't even

00:09:19.600 don't don't mess with us they they were like there's no way they could get those coordinates

00:09:25.040 those are the most sophisticated encryption uh devices we have there's no way somebody could get

00:09:32.180 those coordinates and they had them and he said by the way they're dog fighting and he said it is

00:09:38.520 happening every day all the time really and he said yeah and he said the way they are pursuing us

00:09:46.120 is hostile in nature but trying to show us you don't have a chance you don't have a chance

00:09:53.000 whatever maneuver you do we beat you huh which is again if they wanted to shoot down our planes

00:10:01.420 they could have but they haven't so wouldn't that yeah i don't know wouldn't that tend to make you

00:10:07.620 believe that their their intent is not hostile it would for me yeah i would hope that they've watched

00:10:13.460 star trek and they're you know doing the the you know what is the united federation planets and

00:10:18.460 yeah the prime directive prohibits them yeah interfering in our in our affairs and they

00:10:24.200 and they're only gonna help us uh you know please suck all of our politicians up into the sky 1.00

00:10:30.720 please yes it would be fantastic yes and suck the virus up in the sky while while you're at it

00:10:37.340 suck that back up with you too that would be great yeah thank you so bizarre bizarre really weird but

00:10:45.180 really fascinating going from zero to six thousand and you would think outside of the atmosphere and

00:10:51.680 since they got here from somewhere else and there's nowhere in the neighborhood that's uh

00:10:56.020 that's uh inhabited they must have better technology even than we're seeing here oh yeah

00:11:02.920 i mean way better have to yeah have to but i mean there's nothing that there's no alloy there's

00:11:09.640 no metal there's nothing let alone bags of water that can take that kind of g-force yeah nothing

00:11:16.160 yes and he and they said that there's no i mean when you hear these guys talking you have just

00:11:22.640 if you're not a member of the blaze subscribe to blaze tv there's a 10 minute clip on my youtube page

00:11:28.440 um but uh but but watch this it is absolutely incredible tanya i said to her on friday i said

00:11:37.140 just did a show on you we've got to watch it with the kids we got busy we didn't watch it and i said

00:11:41.860 to uh i said to tanya she said oh it's like midnight 12 30 and she said we didn't watch that

00:11:48.280 uh ufo thing i really wanted to see it and i said uh i'm just gonna watch it here as we fall asleep

00:11:53.900 you you know watch she started watching it became wide awake and was like whoa whoa wait a minute

00:12:01.980 what i think we should watch this with the kids uh it's it's phenomenal it's phenomenal really and so

00:12:10.680 the pentagon must be somewhat concerned that they are in fact there might be hostile hostile intent

00:12:16.420 there though right it sounds like it sounds like as they said as they said because i tried to get

00:12:22.220 them to say a few things because it was clear what they were saying um you know that it wasn't from

00:12:30.420 here and the way they were talking about the dog fights and everything else and i said so

00:12:34.020 it how do we know if how do we know the intent and they kept saying we don't know how it even works

00:12:43.440 we don't know what it is so we have to assume it's a tent as warriors and protectors we have to assume

00:12:54.420 that it is hostile they said it's it's like if you locked your doors and windows put on all the alarms

00:13:00.600 had guards around your house and in the morning you woke up and there were muddy footprints across your

00:13:07.080 carpet and everything no one reported anything you would say okay guys what happened and you'd go

00:13:14.900 that's weird but if it kept happening and muddy footprints you would say guys there's something

00:13:20.420 in my house i don't know what it is i know it sounds crazy but i have to look at this as a threat to my

00:13:27.140 children why is it here what is it yeah and what is it that's the way they're looking at him what is it

00:13:32.980 that they have pieces of that they're analyzing and trying to figure out didn't say so you don't

00:13:39.620 know if it's aircraft or the allies no they said they had the al they had pieces of the metal of the

00:13:45.740 alloys and they said it's not it's got an extra neutron it's not from these parts wow and they don't

00:13:53.180 they they said they don't even know how to reproduce it does that mean that something one of them has

00:13:59.080 crashed here and don't i didn't they didn't say they wouldn't answer i said well wait wait what

00:14:04.100 it was how is it and they they wouldn't say they weren't really they weren't intentionally they

00:14:12.220 didn't seem like they were trying to throw anybody off or they just were very very good at not telling

00:14:17.580 secrets you know yeah they're just good at this and i have to tell you it reminded me and tell me if

00:14:26.120 this isn't exactly from the war of the worlds broadcast in 1939 in war of the worlds orson wells

00:14:35.840 opened up that broadcast with this paragraph listen to this we now know that in the early years of the

00:14:44.800 20th century this world was being watched closely by intelligences far greater than man's and yet as

00:14:53.200 mortal as his own we now know that as human beings human beings busied themselves about their various

00:15:00.240 concerns they were scrutinized and studied perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might

00:15:07.580 scrutinize the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water with infinite

00:15:14.780 complacence people went to and fro the earth about their little affairs serene in the assurance of

00:15:20.340 their dominion over this small spinning fragment this fragment of solar driftwood which by chance or

00:15:26.500 design man has inherited out of the dark mystery of time and space yet across an immense ethereal gulf

00:15:35.980 minds that are to our minds as ours our to the beasts in the jungle intellects vast cool and

00:15:45.360 unsympathetic regarded this earth with envious eyes and slowly and surely drew their plans against us

00:15:54.880 now i don't know about the last couple of lines but everything else is exactly what we're experiencing

00:16:03.280 right now last week was a very big day uh or a very big week for ufo supporters uh and should have been

00:16:13.680 front page news because for the first time pentagon verified yes they're out there and we have no idea what they are

00:16:25.280 this is the best of the glenn beck program

00:16:31.680 several years ago i uh talked about run from your church if your church church is teaching social

00:16:48.060 justice run from your church uh social justice does not exist in god's world there is only two kinds of

00:16:56.580 justice there's god's justice which is absolute permanent and fair and just then there's man's

00:17:05.340 justice man's justice goes from anywhere from you know stalin and the red trials to

00:17:12.700 honest people gathering together trying to really find the answer putting it through a court of law

00:17:21.560 and come what may that's what happened okay but that's not perfect it's not perfect social justice

00:17:29.440 is yeah well if he didn't do this he did something else it doesn't matter what we get him on he's a bad

00:17:34.620 guy they're good no matter what they've done they're good because they've had problems in their lives

00:17:41.840 and so we'll get this bad guy yeah i know he didn't do this but he's done something else that's where

00:17:47.220 the mentality is with donald trump they don't care what he actually did they just got to get him on

00:17:54.540 something that's what they did with michael flynn they didn't care what the truth was they just needed

00:18:01.500 to discredit him and get him out because social justice demands it mike pence you know last week the

00:18:11.540 story broke that uh he was delivering these empty boxes of ppe's no if you actually look at the

00:18:16.400 videotape no he wasn't no he wasn't but the new york times and everybody else reported that those

00:18:21.960 were empty boxes no they weren't you didn't even check because it doesn't matter empty box i don't

00:18:31.160 know i heard it i didn't check i mean that's probably what they do anyway and if they didn't do that

00:18:36.040 they're guilty of something else anyway this is dangerous this is why you do you know that um

00:18:45.420 do you know that joe biden if he were in college he would be found guilty of rape under his title

00:18:56.300 nine standard that he and obama put in his his life would be over because of the standards he said

00:19:05.340 you have to uphold in colleges and universities he's his life would be over

00:19:11.380 so why isn't anyone talking about wait a minute this is what he did in title nine

00:19:17.480 and if we don't agree with him here what about all those poor kids that are in college that are being

00:19:24.100 accused and convicted of rape socially with social justice yeah they don't go to jail oh well you don't

00:19:32.800 go to jail but your life is ruined 0.78

00:19:35.020 but nobody's talking about that why because it's connected to politics

00:19:41.400 do you know that the majority of americans still believe the now debunked dossier from steel and say

00:19:52.000 that that that was real that real stuff in it about trump and russia no it didn't no it didn't

00:19:59.900 but now 53 percent of americans believe that this discredited document had real stuff in it no that

00:20:08.880 was real no no and you know why they believe it because they want to believe it and the media

00:20:17.900 enables them the need media divides us let me give you another story there is a uh there's a story now

00:20:26.580 and this is the headline comes from the daily mail shocking video shows white cop repeatedly beating

00:20:33.240 a black man for not social distancing this is in jersey city the police officer who is white

00:20:41.320 repeatedly hits the man who is african-american while he's pinned to the ground now activists are

00:20:46.860 calling for the cops to be fired the film was the clip was filmed by a witness captured by a man trying

00:20:52.580 to raise his arms to protect his face according to the activists who shared the activists who shared

00:20:58.900 the details of the incident 20 cops showed up because they weren't social distancing well if you

00:21:04.740 actually watch the whole video no it wasn't that they were not social distancing they were in a brawl

00:21:11.300 the cops came in to break it up now i'm not defending this one cop but this isn't about white cop

00:21:19.180 comes for social distancing and beats man half to death that's not what it is this is an out of

00:21:26.260 control group of people cops are called they try to break it up one cop goes too far maybe maybe not

00:21:33.700 you'd have to decide to me it looks pretty bad for the cop that's a totally different story

00:21:40.340 but they have to keep us divided here's a here's one uh try this the the uh

00:21:52.860 the opinion in the new york times how sweden is dealing with coronavirus

00:22:00.300 swedes aren't battling coronavirus with broad lockdowns no president trump has described the

00:22:06.880 pandemic as our war with the invisible enemy the coronavirus that war metaphor is wrong and

00:22:12.140 misleading okay wait a minute so you're holding up sweden saying that they didn't put any of these

00:22:20.880 draconian things they kept their businesses open that's the exact opposite of what you're saying that

00:22:25.840 donald trump is doing which you're saying he's not doing enough of and by the way stew how sweden stack

00:22:33.180 up next to us aren't we we do pretty well actually against them uh our our numbers and our results

00:22:40.080 have i would say be been better uh in a in a pretty significant way yeah well let me just give you from

00:22:47.840 johns hopkins university an authoritative voice the united states has stronger performance in preventing

00:22:53.520 the deaths than sweden number one belgium span uh spain italy in the united kingdom france and the

00:23:00.200 netherlands but 38 of americans think that we are doing far worse why is that because the media has

00:23:08.700 one goal now a third of americans may refuse a coronavirus vaccine says a new poll well you don't

00:23:18.100 think they're going to let you walk around without a virus do you and or without a vaccine and if you

00:23:23.300 have a vaccine and you won't take it you're an immediate anti-vaxxer well why is it that people don't

00:23:29.960 trust the vaccines because we don't trust the press when they're debunking things we don't trust the

00:23:37.320 press to tell us the truth and we certainly don't trust the government

00:23:41.240 bill maher said about joe biden's accuser

00:23:49.860 it leaves us in a world where republicans don't care about this stuff so it's just a unilateral weapon

00:23:57.400 that's used against democrats trump rides the bus with the bus with billy bush and we throw al franken

00:24:03.480 under it i don't know if you've noticed but america's turned into a failed state that has done a worse

00:24:07.840 job keeping its citizens alive during the pandemic than cambodia unbelievable to me that's a little more

00:24:15.720 important than tara reeve tara reed achieving closure wow okay now why does this matter

00:24:25.700 well because there's two ways when people in power have truth and it's different than the actual truth

00:24:36.860 there's only a couple ways you can go you can do your part to try to convince people you can check

00:24:45.320 your own credibility and say okay so what is it that we have done that makes people believe this about us

00:24:51.740 but the media hasn't done that and neither has washington so okay uh social media have they

00:25:00.220 checked themselves nope nope they've doubled down now they've got teams of people from the institutions

00:25:07.000 we don't trust editing us the the head of product of youtube says that people in their basement they

00:25:17.360 can't have opinions on smart stuff on news what do they know excuse me that you built your platform

00:25:25.380 for those people you gave people a voice and now you're shutting them down because you don't like the

00:25:33.380 truth because somebody that the rest of america doesn't trust says to you they've got to come to us

00:25:42.180 for that news oh okay so they can check themselves but they're not doing that or they can start to

00:25:51.540 become draconian on any other voice and silence those voices

00:25:58.240 well they've already started but remember it's suggest shove shoot now we're already at the

00:26:10.220 shove part they're now demonetizing they're now calling you all kinds of names they're making you into a

00:26:16.620 pariah they're doing everything they can to shove you into silence the next one is well this story

00:26:24.140 on april 24th natali lev uh levveda a chief emergency medical service uh service uh training base for

00:26:36.640 russian astronauts fell out of a window at the hospital she was being treated for for covid 19

00:26:43.980 infection and she died next the top doctor at a hospital in siberia fell out of a window during a

00:26:52.800 conference call at her hospital and died may 1st the next day an ambulance doctor fell from a second

00:27:02.320 story window in the hospital where he had work where he was given treatment for covid 19

00:27:08.960 russian authorities are investigating all three incidences really are they are they they have a

00:27:16.440 problem with the windows in russia the first doctor was on a conference call with the top russian health

00:27:23.900 official about plans of turning one of the buildings of her medical facility into a coronavirus ward 0.93

00:27:29.180 she vehemently disagreed with the idea and then fell out of the window 1.00

00:27:34.880 the other one posted a video online the day he was admitted for the coronavirus care complaining that

00:27:43.340 he had been forced to work despite contracting the disease he then later retracted his comments on video

00:27:51.700 and then fell out the window

00:27:54.560 people for some reason just think these things don't happen they think that obama plotting

00:28:05.420 with joe biden the hillary team

00:28:09.480 with our former attorney general and heads of intelligence james clapper

00:28:20.360 they they just think that there's no way he would ever do this but they'll believe that from any

00:28:27.560 republican but no way he would do it they're people gang they're people who like power they're people who

00:28:36.140 will do anything to run for president and become president they're not normal no normal human being

00:28:45.460 says i'm willing to put my family through this you have to really believe in something and so what is it you believe in

00:28:52.440 well barack obama believed that america was not a great place the way it was and he needed to be fundamentally

00:28:59.660 transformed and he was the first president that was actually able to do something about it and he wasn't going to have

00:29:06.520 somebody change all of the policies so when he left yes it makes sense that he would do that

00:29:13.680 feeling justified because they all believe the same thing and they all believe the other people were stupid

00:29:20.940 you need to find sources of truth you need to learn how to do your own homework you need to not accept

00:29:38.140 things that people if you happen to agree with me like me do not accept them on face value do your own

00:29:46.500 homework a i can and have gotten it wrong at times b i want you to call me out when we have it wrong because

00:29:56.440 it keeps me honest no one is calling the media out that they care about

00:30:02.660 that's the problem government and the media have become one they're not afraid of you

00:30:13.440 you must let your voice be heard

00:30:18.320 this is the best of the glenbeck program and don't forget rate us on itunes

00:30:27.420 welcome to the glenbeck program it is monday i can't wait to talk to this guy he is uh he's the

00:30:40.360 owner of carl manke's barber and beauty shop he's in oasso uh michigan he has been told that he has to

00:30:49.540 close his business uh he said and i want to quote him he said i'm not trying to be a scofflaw which is

00:30:56.620 one of my favorite words from the prohibition era uh i'm just trying to make a living i tried for

00:31:02.860 unemployment i was denied twice on unemployment i haven't seen any one of those other checks from

00:31:08.760 the government so last week he opened up and he was told you have to close down don't come back

00:31:16.840 here monday um i want to give you i want to give you what the court said or what the governor's office

00:31:23.240 said mr manke has been given every opportunity to voluntarily comply with the governor's executive

00:31:28.960 order in the order of michigan's department of health and services director as a result of his

00:31:33.380 continued operation today his business was deemed an imminent danger an imminent danger to public

00:31:39.520 health in order to be shut down by the dhs director if he refuses the department of attorney general will

00:31:46.020 request an order from the uh county circuit court on monday to close his business mr manke's actions

00:31:52.640 are not a display of harmless civil disobedience his actions are counterproductive to the collective

00:31:58.780 effort businesses and communities everywhere have made to slow the spread of covid19 and by opening

00:32:04.480 the doors to his business he's putting the lives of many more michiganers uh at risk 1.00

00:32:09.900 he said to us on friday he was opening up he had no intention of keeping his doors closed let's talk to

00:32:16.940 him now on this monday morning how are you sir very well carl uh it's great to talk to you uh did you open

00:32:26.980 your business today i i most certainly did okay i did i hope my tell me i had uh six or eight

00:32:35.880 troopers that came in here last friday i believe it was the days are kind of starting to kind of

00:32:41.840 mull together but i believe it was friday they were kind of handpicked by the governor you know i don't

00:32:46.540 think anybody wanted to do it but they had eight uh troopers that came in here and i'm a family shop

00:32:52.240 you know i've got i had a mom in here with quadriplets and they're bouncing around playing 1.00

00:32:57.740 you know one thing and another the best they can and of course everybody you know else that's in

00:33:02.460 here they're all family people and they had this show of force it was really kind of uh it was awkward

00:33:08.400 in so many ways you know but uh i was respectful to them you know i i had a matter of fact i had a

00:33:15.100 state policeman in my shop at that time waiting to get a haircut so you know he's kind of watching

00:33:20.420 told me at that time so governor had to handpick those people he says nobody else would have wanted

00:33:28.740 to do it so he says they were pretty well picked out who she wanted to to do that stuff so yeah it

00:33:35.400 was kind of kind of comical so carl you said you're not trying to poke fun at the law you're not trying

00:33:44.240 you're not trying to make light of this situation tell me about that no no no no listen i'm i've been

00:33:51.980 a law-abiding citizen my entire life and when the legislative branch said that they had decided that

00:33:58.400 she can't do this she's gone over her 28 days she defied them she broke their law then and decided

00:34:07.280 that she was going to arbitrarily fall back on on a 1945 law that you know gave her eminent power 0.66

00:34:15.320 you know and uh no you know i really i'm not uh i'm not here to to uh create a big ruckus i came

00:34:22.660 in this barbershop a week ago on monday you know and uh i was a concern i was afraid i was fearful

00:34:30.020 but you know i couldn't go another 30 days without an income you know i'd already gone from march 21st

00:34:38.100 until the first of may that six weeks i went you know and i could not i couldn't go another month

00:34:45.540 you know i have bills to pay i have obligations you know and uh i just couldn't do it so i decided

00:34:52.400 you know i'm i'm going to that that old serenity prayer you know god grant me to accept the things i

00:34:59.260 cannot change and the courage courage to change those things that i can and the wisdom to know

00:35:05.920 the difference and i've uh that prayer has been in my life for quite a few years and you know i i took

00:35:11.720 that courage and opened my shop and uh i thought i'm going to twist in the wind here by myself you

00:35:17.680 know i thought but i'm going to i'm going to stand my ground and i have had thousands thousands and

00:35:24.820 thousands of people you know just supporting me it's unbelievable it's overwhelming the support that

00:35:31.280 i've gotten in this and i'm not a scufflaw no i'm not you know and i made the statement that i would

00:35:36.960 uh i'd close my shop the day they they come in here with handcuffs or jesus comes one or the other

00:35:42.520 whichever comes first you know i'd close my shop but until that time i'm open

00:35:47.440 so carl what do you expect they they said on friday that if you don't comply they will charge

00:35:58.880 you with contempt of court and uh they'll close you down today well you know i i had an attorney

00:36:05.100 come forward he's uh he's pretty good you know and he's so far he's been able to hold them off so

00:36:10.780 i'm not that's the legal end of it you know and that's i'm a i'm a barber by trade by profession

00:36:17.060 i'm not a lawyer i can't make those kind of decisions at all you know and i don't even know

00:36:22.180 you know how the law stands i just have a sense a common sense that there is no way that a

00:36:29.440 government you know i've been under 14 different presidents i'm 77 i was born in 1942 so i'll be 78

00:36:36.160 pretty soon and you know i've never had this kind of oppression in my life not even during the 60s

00:36:42.380 you know during those oppressive days back then and it was funny because the democrat party at that

00:36:47.500 time they were the ones who were for uh equal rights and civil civil rights and freedom of speech

00:36:54.400 and now it's completely turned around where we have this oppression coming from the left i i don't get

00:37:00.780 it i i mean they've just completely done a turnaround you know and it's uh it's not my uh it's hardly my

00:37:08.700 country anymore in so many different ways you know it's going to have to be these younger people are 1.00

00:37:12.920 going to have to pick up the baton you've seen younger people um supporting you oh heaven yes i

00:37:21.320 got them sitting right here i'm looking at them you know these guys are all yeah they're all younger

00:37:25.840 than me i mean they're all younger than me but there i do i have some young guys here probably

00:37:31.460 in their 20s early 30s you know that there's one lad over here he looks like he might be in about

00:37:37.180 eighth grade you know so he's yeah i do i have a whole bunch of people here that are just uh

00:37:42.300 real happy about it yeah there you go keep your distance carl keep your distance um so so carl um

00:37:52.960 you uh uh you're talking about the right to that you feel trampled on yes she would say i would assume

00:38:03.740 she would say you're trampling on people's rights to be safe how would you respond to that

00:38:09.640 yeah i believe if people feel that they if they're so fearful you know that they can't leave their

00:38:15.620 homes then i suggest that they stay in their homes but as an adult as an american adult you know i

00:38:22.520 believe that people can make their own decisions we have guidelines here you know we have the social

00:38:26.800 distancing here we got the chairs separated i got hand sanitizers i've got a sanitizer i keep my

00:38:32.400 equipment in i was spraying the chair down after every person you know and it's just that people

00:38:37.540 can they come in with a mask i can't cut their hair with very well with a mask some only want to leave

00:38:42.220 it on some take it off so you know it's it's as americans you know i believe that we have as long as

00:38:49.000 we have those guidelines and we're following them you know if they can do it in the walmart stores they

00:38:53.540 can do it the kmart stores they can do it in the grocery stores you know then i believe that i'm

00:38:58.420 being discriminated against if they think that my clients are so immature that they can't handle this

00:39:03.820 you know so i believe that as americans we have this right she's not my mother by any stretch by any

00:39:10.320 stretch of the imagination i mean i'm sure her mother loves her and yesterday she probably celebrated

00:39:15.020 mother's day but i've been in business longer than she's been alive and there's no way that i'm going

00:39:20.380 to close my business down you know for i i get this sense and i'm not sure i'm right or wrong but i get

00:39:27.040 this sense that every time the the washington administration kind of chides her a little bit

00:39:32.820 she digs her heels in i believe she has and i can only assume this she wants to be a rock star 0.99

00:39:39.640 in the democrat party and she's going to show her base how tough she is and i'm just a little guy here

00:39:45.160 in a while from michigan but i'm going to hold my ground i don't care you know how is she 1.00

00:39:49.820 how is she perceived how is she perceived carl up um is your is your net wide enough to be able to

00:39:58.960 talk to all kinds of different people and and and how do you think people in michigan are reacting to

00:40:04.820 her i had a group out here yesterday or a day before yesterday that had signs democrats against

00:40:13.000 whitmer so that was the democrats against our governor and there was a whole group of them

00:40:20.080 out there so you know i don't believe that she's getting the support that she is hoping to get

00:40:25.760 i think that they you know that the people in michigan uh you know we're we're pretty independent

00:40:30.960 bunch here you know we're we're uh there are people that are fearful enough to stay in their

00:40:36.880 homes and that kind of thing but um yeah so i'm not going to live my life in fear there's enough

00:40:43.060 landmines i can step on you know inadvertently just walking out of my house any given day

00:40:48.280 so i've been through the swine flu i bet matter of fact i went through the polio scare back in the day

00:40:54.600 and i'm not diminishing any of these any at all but i do think you know with the precautions that are

00:41:00.360 laid out for the walmarts the kmarts the big box stores i can also comply to the same same

00:41:06.700 standards carl you remind me of my father it is good to talk to you sir well it's good to talk

00:41:16.720 you so much carl yeah i've been following your career for years yeah i'm behind you oh well thank

00:41:21.920 you very much thank you very much we're behind you carl manke uh owner of carl manke's barber and

00:41:27.420 beauty shop up in uh in michigan i love that uh you know i do too what he i've been looking forward

00:41:34.180 to this all weekend uh what he just said uh i i want you to recognize the language that he just

00:41:41.880 used and how it probably resonated with you he kept saying you know there's this sense that i have this

00:41:47.880 i don't know i just i'm just applying common sense there's this sense that i have that is the

00:41:54.820 revolutionary phrase that rocked the world that is what thomas paine wrote about common sense there's

00:42:04.380 this common sense that just says this isn't right that i i have these rights and you can't as the king

00:42:13.780 tell me that i can't do business or i can't do it this way or i can't trade my goods or i can't live

00:42:20.820 over here and mind my own business you can tell me that i can't kill people but you can't you can't

00:42:26.860 come round me up because i disagree with the king or i won't play by some of his rules that don't make

00:42:32.940 any sense carl that uh message that he just delivered is a modern day common sense
