00:00:42.740 a new concept in socialism corporate socialism or corporate leftism michael rechtenwald joins us to

00:00:50.700 talk about how that's a thing he thinks that socialism is coming to america lock stock and

00:00:58.640 barrel and it's running down the road towards us and we're running into the arms he said but it's a

00:01:04.820 corporate socialism he explains we also have uh some sad news about the sales for both the al gore and

00:01:14.100 clinton family crusades across america trying to do theater shows hasn't been working out apparently

00:01:19.200 that well it's stunning ticket prices are lower than you think yeah we get into that and i'll say

00:01:24.160 also an interesting thing left out of the media when it comes to ms13 the gang that the president

00:01:29.440 has cited many times as a real danger and the press has gone to work to say no nothing that's a nothing

00:01:34.640 nothing nothing nothing burger uh we show you uh really what it is and it's pretty serious and this

00:01:40.280 is coming from the mainstream media now that we're past that particular crisis they're free to admit how

00:01:45.660 bad ms13 is we have that um plus uh gled's gonna eat some some locusts or something no next week 1.00

00:01:52.920 that's a story from cnn which is down by the way in prime time by 26 and they're stunned all this and

00:03:40.640 the israelis fired back then hamas decided let's go to town over 600 rockets 600 rockets fired into

00:03:54.720 israel four israeli civilians were killed the first civilians killed since the seven-week gaza war in 2014

00:04:02.060 why because they just fire rocket they're they're looking to kill anyone thank goodness that there

00:04:10.060 wasn't school uh yesterday because schools were uh were blown up uh kindergarten did you see the

00:04:18.800 picture of the kindergarten class i mean they were so lucky that nobody was in those classes

00:04:25.020 high-ranking uh hamas operative was killed now he's the guy responsible for transferring money from

00:04:31.340 iran to hamas and palestinian uh islamic jihad everybody was going crazy it is you know what's 0.65

00:04:41.080 really fascinating to me is how people on the left and i mean i shouldn't say on the left how democrats

00:04:52.400 the people that we know and love in our own family how these people don't understand

00:04:59.200 what side they're on if you saw this weekend uh you saw the um the liberals that were going after

00:05:14.620 the venezuelans uh in new york the anti-maduro venezuelans did you see that they were screaming

00:05:22.120 at them in new york uh about how um maduro wasn't so bad and and uh and these these anti-maduro people

00:05:33.480 are just they just want war and and um and they're just trying to help trump out it's it's it's nuts

00:05:42.260 what's happening uh then you have then you have uh rashida talib saying that um the new york times

00:05:53.440 is dehumanizing our palestinian people who just want to be free who are your palestinian people 0.99

00:06:01.340 rashid can we play the audio i just heard on the four minute buzz play the audio please of of uh

00:06:10.400 ilan omar listen to this most of the things that have always been aggravating to me is that we have

00:06:16.380 had a policy that makes one superior to the other and we mask it with a conversation that's about

00:06:23.740 justice and a two-state solution when you have policies that clearly prioritize um one over the

00:06:32.540 other such as um i mean just our relationship really with uh the israeli government and israeli

00:06:40.380 state and so when i see israel institute um law that that recognizes it as a as a jewish state

00:06:50.600 and does not recognize um the other religions that are that are living in it and we still

00:06:57.500 uphold it as a democracy in the middle east i almost chuckle because i know do you that if

00:07:04.120 you know we we we say we see that in in any other society we would criticize it we would call it out

00:07:12.480 we do that excuse me don't recognize others living in the area she goes on to compare it to saudi arabia

00:07:21.540 excuse me that's an islamic state and you can't even have a bible there are churches there are mosques

00:07:31.700 everywhere everywhere in israel everywhere there is a huge christian and muslim population in israel

00:07:43.860 there are christians and there are muslims in the knesset that's their house and senate what do you mean

00:07:53.480 why aren't you speaking out about places like i don't know iran or syria or turkey or saudi arabia

00:08:06.280 or libya is it okay to have an islamic state the day you come out and say it's wrong that it's an

00:08:15.780 islamic state i'll i'll listen to you i won't agree with you but i'll at least listen to you when you say

00:08:22.960 it shouldn't be a jewish state now we want to bring jason in he's our chief researcher and uh and 0.99

00:08:30.320 also um military affairs expert we sent the uss abraham lincoln over to stand guard um against

00:08:40.380 iran this is coming from iran tell me first of all the high-ranking hamas operative that was killed

00:08:46.760 responsible for transmit transferring money from iran to hamas what do we know about that this is

00:08:52.860 is all linked this is all linked so um that that specific high-ranking commander just like you

00:08:58.280 said that's his job is to take the funds that come over from iran and give that to to hamas give

00:09:03.840 it to palestinian islamic jihad and a number of other groups that iran supports in israel it's very

00:09:08.360 telling that uh islamic jihad that's the main iranian group that's in uh gaza um that they're the

00:09:15.500 ones that started all this they started it they knew exactly what was going to happen they knew israel 0.74

00:09:19.720 because we're going was going to retaliate hamas then responds with overwhelming force like you

00:09:25.000 said that's conservative is 600 rockets it's probably closer to 700 absolutely insane in a two-day period

00:09:32.200 a two-day period now as soon as this aircraft carrier went into the gulf i was like i know exactly

00:09:38.100 what this is the rumors were saying that uh we decided to do this because we had gotten word

00:09:43.620 that iran was planning attacks on either u.s forces or u.s allies that to me says i uh israel all the

00:09:51.300 way they knew uh what the strategy is and the strategy is good uh glenn for for attacking israel

00:09:57.200 it was should have worked during the six-day war and it's all the arab nations surrounding them they 1.00

00:10:02.080 have more people than israel does it's a war of attrition so if they hit them from multiple sides

00:10:06.600 from multiple borders israel shouldn't be able to hold in fact it should israel should not be here today 1.00

00:10:12.140 it was divine intervention in my mind yeah from 67 it was divine intervention there was no way

00:10:17.780 what do you think could hold it this time besides divine intervention or the united states government

00:10:25.440 going in and helping them because with no one else will absolutely no one else will and now as the

00:10:29.960 people that you were just quoting are actually trying to change that they're trying to change public

00:10:33.440 sentiment so that they don't have the social contract to go in and and defend israel but um i it's it's

00:10:39.860 looking like we have the administration in place at least for now that's going to you know take a

00:10:44.980 stand with them but if we wouldn't show them that we were willing to put overwhelming force in the

00:10:50.080 area to respond because that's what this this was i guarantee if this would have escalated the next

00:10:54.880 level if we would have set this one out then i i can almost guarantee that hezbollah would have been

00:10:59.300 they probably already had the orders if nothing happens if no carrier moves into the area

00:11:03.900 hezbollah moves down into israel moves down into gaza and then this becomes that war just like the

00:11:09.500 six-day war multiple different borders and israel shouldn't be able to defend that egypt wouldn't 0.98

00:11:14.500 be in on it though this time egypt would not be up uh saudi arabia wouldn't be in on it this time

00:11:19.220 no uh so you would really only have what maybe syria turkey lebanon

00:11:27.620 iran yep turkey which is a very very strange bedfellows because like the the alliances are

00:11:35.900 different now uh turkey's muslim brotherhood but they also hate iran i don't know i i have a hard

00:11:41.220 time thinking that they would all come together in a six-day war type scenario but really that it

00:11:46.540 would be hard enough fighting with hezbollah i mean consider israel's already fought a war with

00:11:50.740 hezbollah and it didn't go very well did not go very well they've had years and years and years to

00:11:55.260 get the funding to get the weapons that's why the blockade is there and that's something that ilia

00:11:59.420 omar or rashid talib are not even talking about they keep calling this an occupation force there

00:12:03.680 are no occupying troops in gaza there are none yeah you know when when rashid said when you know

00:12:10.660 when are we going to stop dehumanizing palestinians well i don't know i'm not dehumanizing palestinians

00:12:17.000 i don't know anybody who does dehumanize palestinians except the palestinians and iran

00:12:23.180 they don't care about the palestinians yeah it seems like when you want to strap a vest that

00:12:29.040 explodes on a person you're kind of dehumanizing them even if it is to kill the jews and that 0.96

00:12:33.540 wonderful glorious goal you have when you push mothers and babies to the front line yeah knowing 0.99

00:12:39.200 that they're going to be slaughtered when you put them next to the the top terror targets to make sure

00:12:43.420 that you know you to kill them you have to also have other casualties that they can then exploit 0.67

00:12:48.940 yeah who's who's dehumanizing these people you know when they when they when they when their 0.90

00:12:54.400 leader when the hamas leadership when they fire rockets or when they make a decision from their

00:12:58.560 headquarters they know exactly what's going to happen they know a retaliation is going to come

00:13:01.880 they know a bomb is going to come from the idf what they do is they immediately abandon those 0.83

00:13:06.660 those buildings and they go into the the civilian buildings next door so that when you hear that

00:13:11.200 civilians die that's by design they do that on purpose and they know how the media is going to 0.85

00:13:16.420 cover it and the media falls for it every freaking time it's absolutely i don't see here here's where

00:13:23.200 i think this is falling apart i think i think the democrats are so overplaying their hand uh and not

00:13:31.820 by choice i mean did you see nancy pelosi come out this weekend going you know we really need to kind

00:13:36.680 of stay in the middle ground i don't know if you if you saw this but she's like you know we should be

00:13:41.860 you know we we really need to kind of remain moderate in the middle uh what she's saying is

00:13:47.880 we should just be crazy progressives not marxist social is socialist islamicists because that's 0.93

00:13:57.040 where they're headed and i just i i can't believe that the american people are are with open borders 0.60

00:14:07.460 they are with islamic terror i just don't see them standing with care i do see them caring about 1.00

00:14:17.960 things like the uyghurs you know i i tweeted something last night when i was going through

00:14:23.260 all of this i'm i'm for the uyghurs i think what's happening in china to the uyghurs is an atrocity 0.99

00:14:29.980 where's care on that one it's an absolute atrocity what's going on uh i mean they could

00:14:37.400 all be killed before america even or the world even wakes up they are liquidating people in china 0.95

00:14:45.660 this entire muslim community and i'm all for standing up and making sure i mean i was very 0.98

00:14:52.900 disappointed when donald trump took that off the table in his negotiations uh this weekend he said

00:14:59.880 he wasn't going to he wasn't going to push for the uyghurs uh release i i have to tell you i was

00:15:06.620 really disappointed in that so how can i have islamophobia if i'm for the islamic people in china

00:15:15.480 but i'm against the people the palestinians because of the way they behave they're being used 1.00

00:15:24.480 and they're being used by the muslim brotherhood they're being used by hezbollah they're being used by

00:15:29.440 everybody including talib including omar they're being used i feel bad for the palestinian people

00:15:39.520 but i am not for their their cause because their cause is driven by terrorists

00:15:46.240 and i just i i find it hard to believe but you know hey i i told you once i've told you a thousand

00:15:56.880 times you won't recognize your country i don't recognize my country anymore so i don't know if

00:16:01.760 i can predict my country but if my countrymen are still awake or alive at all they're going to see

00:16:09.680 the things that are happening and they are not going to want to stand with the extremists in the

00:19:17.600 dynamic when people who actually have family members there who actually have been handed the uh the

00:19:24.320 downsides of this whole situation in real vivid ways are being protested by people who who walk

00:20:09.580 palestinian scarves they read poetry uh and they sang songs and the songs were about killing for allah 0.96

00:20:17.840 and killing for the mosque in jerusalem uh and uh and subjecting their enemies of allah uh to eternal 0.78

00:20:28.640 torture okay so in philadelphia at the mosque they were singing songs about beheading infidels 0.97

00:20:38.900 and sending allah's uh people to eternal torture anybody who is against allah 0.99

00:20:49.120 the best of the glenn beck program

00:20:53.700 like listening to this podcast if you're not a subscriber become one now on itunes

00:21:05.060 but while you're there do us a favor and rate the show uh welcome to the uh program we were just

00:21:10.320 talking off the air i just saw end game this weekend we won't go into details but it is

00:21:14.920 i found i i i didn't have anybody spoil it for me but i had people say to me oh it's the greatest

00:21:20.940 movie of all time it's a and i was like shut up i don't want to hear that because i don't want to 0.74

00:21:26.000 up my expectations yeah um but it was it was not the greatest movie of all time but it is

00:21:32.140 really satisfying it is i think it's solid yeah really solid and and probably the most satisfying

00:21:39.300 ending to it to a series i've ever seen yeah you know star wars is ending they've got what episode

00:21:46.220 nine coming out in december yeah i can't imagine that that's going to be half as satisfying as this

00:21:52.460 one was i can't either two solid movies in that series uh well yeah maybe two in the entire series

00:21:58.760 of star wars i love star wars movies but really i think the first three are solid the first three

00:22:03.600 the first two return of the jedi is a brilliant walk the third one's solid it's not that good

00:22:08.820 go back and revisit return of the jedi it is not that problem with that it's not nearly as good as 0.97

00:22:13.780 the first two walks were just so stupid yeah it was stupid it was the precursor to jar jar binks 0.90

00:22:18.920 and then it went to the prequels which we all know were disasters i thought one i'll give the first 0.98

00:22:24.000 one back even though it was basically just remade the first movie i'll give episode i guess seven

00:22:29.160 some credit oh i kind of like that one you know eight you know they really it has not been a

00:22:35.620 consistent success for one of the biggest series of all time i mean it's really been uneven is it

00:22:41.940 really has to be generous generous yeah and where marvel has well up until recently i thought has been

00:22:48.940 really pretty even it's been really really very good uh all the way along it's had some it's had

00:22:56.220 some clunkers but not like the consistency of star wars that thing was just destroyed it's a kind of

00:23:02.900 amazing that it's just powered through all that though i mean it's powered through three prequels

00:23:07.360 that universally everybody hates basically and that's why like because it had 30 years of love

00:23:13.060 yeah i mean we loved it so much we've endured the last five that have been totally subpar yeah and

00:23:20.820 we still look at it as oh my gosh the new star wars is coming out how is it possible i do i still look

00:23:28.860 i hated the last one and i can't wait for the next one oh i can't what other movie could you i i can't

00:23:34.840 think of another one like that that's how much to me it is to me it is turn it's i'm are you not

00:23:41.480 looking forward to it i'm looking forward to it but it's not like no no it's not like i've got to

00:23:46.820 be there like the new godzilla is out i want to see that i'm going the day it opens it looks

00:23:52.300 oh my gosh have you seen the reboot of the godzilla movies how many how many reboots have there been

00:23:58.900 the latest one the latest couple have been yeah i saw the latest one i think the one with uh

00:24:04.160 brian cranston brian cranston that was solid yeah rock solid is that related to this new one yes it is

00:24:09.240 yes it's a continuation of this i gotta say and just the height like the trailer has sucked me

00:24:14.200 in completely oh my gosh the trailer is fantastic rafe and i were just on the end of our seats we

00:24:19.140 were like yes i'm totally 11 years old when that thing comes on i don't know why yeah again i was

00:24:26.480 not a fan of godzilla no i was never we used to joke about godzilla it was so bad and isn't this like

00:24:33.220 doesn't it have like mothra in it it's a three-headed dragon and like it's all the big characters

00:24:37.040 together yeah and once it's it's what the japanese used to do occasionally they made godzilla the hero

00:24:42.500 and he fought off the evil monsters yeah it's so great that's what this one is right no that's what

00:24:49.220 he did the last one i still love it i don't know why it's again like i have no i sometimes will uh

00:24:55.760 make fun of superhero movies because i don't have any interest in them or i mean even like fantasy

00:25:01.160 movies like lord of the rings everyone's like the greatest movies of all time i have no interest in

00:25:04.440 at all and yet here i am pitching for godzilla yeah it's not i know it doesn't seem like your

00:25:08.360 style no it doesn't i don't know why giant monster i like the disaster movies like i like the giant

00:25:14.680 you know towering inferno yeah like earthquake they're just i don't know why there's no reason

00:25:20.500 for me to like good none of those good ones though none of them were good none of them were good and

00:25:25.560 there's no and there's no good disaster airport no i san andreas you saw san andreas i saw it was

00:25:32.300 horrible you had to see san andreas yeah that was fun i like the rock yeah that's what i thought it

00:25:38.480 was the rock and then he did a one called skyscraper yes i saw recently you saw yeah i saw that it's a

00:25:45.440 rock you gotta see the rock it's fun it's not the best one though it's worth an on-demand

00:25:50.840 it was fun though oh yeah yeah yeah yeah i mean you'll be bothered by some of the physics of it

00:25:56.560 that's a real understatement yeah it was it was well done for that type of movie just like san

00:26:04.400 andreas was like they're ridiculous over-the-top disaster things going on and so many times they're

00:26:09.700 running away from the earth falling behind them and oh yeah there's towers falling nine inches behind

00:26:14.780 them they're not moved they keep running it's that type of stuff as long as you don't mind

00:26:18.720 overlooking that and you sort of celebrate it as the ridiculousness that it is it's like it's like

00:26:23.560 a day after tomorrow where they outrun the instant freeze if we could just run into the library we'll

00:26:30.000 be fine because the cold can never come into the library no books repel cold we all know this no

00:26:37.340 it's the best insulation you can find yes yeah and if it's gonna if it's gonna instantly freeze

00:26:43.500 people animals every i mean instantly library library it's the only place new york public library

00:26:49.760 that's where you go everybody knows it the windows no they'll in a library even the windows are they're

00:26:56.200 fine they're fine they're fine they're fine all right you have to suspend uh disbelief in all of

00:27:01.600 these movies but um fair it's a fair assessment may i say this we're living in a time where you have

00:27:07.500 to suspend disbelief to live that's true i mean you know i gotta give you this headline i gotta give

00:27:13.980 you this headline then we're gonna take a quick break and come back with something else that pat

00:27:16.760 wants to talk about um oh where is it uh here here's one atlantic readers advocate for diversity

00:27:25.740 in medical schools no no i don't want diversity in middle i don't care if they're all hispanic all 1.00

00:27:32.400 black all white i don't care if they all belong that's what i want i just yeah if do they all 0.99

00:27:37.920 belong there do they belong in medical school um that's downright dangerous if that's how you're

00:27:45.920 gonna choose your students no i don't know what you're talking about no then there's another story

00:27:51.360 gosh where is it i don't have it now uh it's a great story about a biological man

00:27:57.140 who says he's a woman is a female is a male female opera star now playing a male on stage what

00:28:12.260 yeah wait what can't even follow that he's a male okay claims to be a female all right he he is a he is

00:28:20.720 a male female opera star playing the role of a male on stage so which he biologically is

00:28:29.480 so it's not much of a stretch not not really a stretch but i just i would just like to point out 0.80

00:28:35.600 wow and you think godzilla is ridiculous

00:28:38.620 this is the best of the glenn beck program

00:28:44.320 we go to michael rechtenwald uh now uh michael are you there yes hey how are you good how are you

00:29:02.620 are you still with um are you still with nyu or not i am quote unquote retired but it's you know i

00:29:12.260 can't really say more yeah okay all right i'll let the audience infer what what i mean okay all

00:29:17.440 right um so you're also the author of springtime for snowflakes which i think is a fantastic story

00:29:23.240 um and uh you are you are now writing a a new book um based on a question that i gave you that you

00:29:32.420 couldn't answer yes that's right and what was the question i think the question had to do with uh

00:29:40.580 you know what is it about uh the uh socialism that uh i guess it was more like why are so many

00:29:49.100 leftists out there and even in corporate america uh we see this leftism all over the place so i wanted

00:29:55.360 to investigate you know uh with all this woke capitalism going on with all this you know leftist

00:30:01.920 uh embraced by corporations of a leftist agenda i started trying this is really puzzling me i was

00:30:07.720 like what what are they doing what are they why are they promoting leftist ideals for like for

00:30:12.820 instance gillette uh they did the you know all that woke crap uh nike took colin kaepernick 0.78

00:30:20.500 all of these things and you think that the answer has been that they are just placating and going along

00:30:28.540 with the times but you don't buy that not at all i mean i don't think that a corporate you know

00:30:34.140 corporate interests would uh you know just placate a one of their consumer contingents um and you know

00:30:41.600 but and embrace this kind of ideology you know unless it actually benefited them in the long run and i

00:30:47.800 think they did it does and i saw i thought that through and thought about all the ways in fact which

00:30:53.000 what i'm calling corporate leftism uh benefits uh these global monopolistic corporations okay so this

00:31:02.540 seems counterintuitive because you would say there's no way that these these companies now i can

00:31:08.940 understand it with tech like google and facebook if they're in bed with the government they have all of

00:31:15.640 the information that they could ever need and i can totally understand that um and it frightens the

00:31:21.960 crap out of me but how can a company that is interested in serving its shareholders be for socialism

00:31:30.200 well you know what they want is kind of like i call it a uh a kind of socialism with chinese 0.97

00:31:36.380 characteristics which is what they call china now and that that is that there's monopolies on the top

00:31:42.660 and everybody else is socialism for everybody else in effect it's you know what what is socialism

00:31:48.220 really but a monopolization of the means of production by the state and every other area of life

00:31:55.040 so all you do with corporate socialism is you replace the players who are controlling the means of

00:32:01.080 production with corporate players and they and their monopolies it's effectively the same to the people

00:32:07.500 on the ground so explain the difference between this and like national socialists where uh they did

00:32:18.980 let the entrepreneur or the the experts in in each field stay in charge of those companies

00:32:28.280 well this is this is globalist for one uh this is not nationalist it has to be globalist because

00:32:35.240 they need certain factors to be the case for example they need uh to erode the nation state the

00:32:43.460 sovereignty of the nation state stands in the way of global uh monopoly uh they need to um embrace

00:32:51.160 leftist ideas for reasons that i explained for example that these leftist ideas work perfectly for what

00:32:58.180 they're trying to establish and that is uh that you have they they promote these new identity types you

00:33:06.620 know transgenderism uh they're promoting agenda pluralism they're promoting the breakdown which 1.00

00:33:12.820 which will end in the breakdown of the family they're promoting all of these various elements that

00:33:18.260 actually serve them because this just makes the uh the entries the the i'm sorry it just makes it

00:33:25.860 impossible to oppose what they're up to how do you i mean again how do you mean by dividing uh dividing

00:33:36.020 people up all these all into all these groups how does that benefit them and can you go over that

00:33:43.440 first of all you create uh new niche markets you know so if you continually create new niche markets

00:33:49.720 then you just cater to them so i i did see i did see a story out this weekend that makeup for men

00:33:56.460 is the is the new right hot coming thing right and that's that's all intentional that they have to

00:34:05.040 get rid of a traditional or conventional gender because this you know is the basis of the family 1.00

00:34:10.720 if you get rid of a man woman you have you basically are half the way or more to getting rid of the family 1.00

00:34:17.280 as such and what's what's the reason for getting rid of the family the family is a space or a buffer space

00:34:23.160 between state or state or corporate power and you know so it's a space where people can learn

00:34:30.640 different things and have a different perspective that is not necessarily that of the dominant powers

00:34:35.160 like like the state itself or corporations who are taking the place of the state in effect now

00:34:40.560 so what i'm talking about is a corporate uh governance almost that's taking place for example if you look at

00:34:47.780 google and facebook and all of the big uh you know the big techs what they're doing is effectively

00:34:54.020 eliminating the public sphere or public space such in two ways one they make it irrelevant you know if

00:35:02.320 you're not saying something online you if you're not reaching people through social or mass or social

00:35:08.500 media you really have no voice right so they make the public sphere in effect irrelevant number two

00:35:15.460 then you control what's said on those very spaces because they don't have they don't have the obligation

00:35:22.780 of the state to grant you the first amendment rights and they're not granting them as we see

00:35:27.540 so i was in church this weekend and we were talking um about how the young men and young women in the church

00:35:38.840 are no longer really even talking to each other they're not they're all living in a virtual world

00:35:46.560 they don't they just don't behave the way um people have behaved for forever now they're just living in

00:35:56.060 this virtual world and that's what you're talking about how they control everything

00:35:59.500 yeah there's a couple reasons why that's happening i mean the you know marriage rates are down of course

00:36:06.800 birth rates are down this is basically a function of keeping a you know some sort of uh fractiousness

00:36:12.580 between men and women uh in order to to keep these uh birth rates down and so forth and this is of

00:36:19.360 course explains the immigration uh quite a bit but also yeah they're living in a virtual world

00:36:25.180 uh everybody is you know sort of like a monad sitting on the web and all of the real communications

00:36:31.760 are taking place there and then they're censored uh and they're controlled and you you know it's not

00:36:38.040 you know as you saw that they just threw off several people that are considered dangerous right from

00:36:43.640 from facebook and this is going to get worse they're curtailing they're already curtailing our rights

00:36:49.520 by by virtue of you know making the public sphere irrelevant and then controlling you know by virtue of being

00:36:55.580 private enterprises what happens or what is expressed on their platforms and then they're just saying okay

00:37:01.360 then they're also limiting anybody who might be challenging this perspective and that's why

00:37:07.180 these papers are being cut out so they're not they're not only doing they're not only doing the people

00:37:11.960 that are challenging um but they're also if you defend them you're also going to lose your status online

00:37:20.180 absolutely you can't defend them at all if you go online and you try to defend

00:37:24.840 some of the people that were just depersoned if you will friday uh you'll be just vilified like them

00:37:32.080 and you'll probably be next well it's facebook said facebook said even defense of those who have

00:37:38.820 been uh de-platformed uh is cause to de-platform you i could yeah i'm calling this this is a digital

00:37:46.560 gulag in effect they're they're putting people in effect in digital gulags where they can't reach

00:37:52.520 anyone else they're disappeared from society uh it's happening like crazy and it's a very pernicious

00:37:58.460 development so they're acting like both corporations and states at the same time they're exercising the

00:38:05.080 prerogatives of statehood and the uh corporate prerogatives of profiteering and this is a this is

00:38:12.620 this is a very serious danger okay michael rechtenwald uh author of springtime for snowflakes which is a

00:38:18.740 great book about his journey and what woke him up and finally got him at the university level to say

00:38:27.020 enough is enough and uh it's uh it's also the reason why he's now retired quote unquote michael

00:38:34.660 rechtenwald will continue uh in just a second with him first okay so the borders break down which allows

00:38:41.740 allows them to uh allows these corporations to do business anywhere one government uh it allows them

00:38:52.260 again to not have to worry about the laws uh everywhere else is there any is there any thought

00:39:00.040 to freedom uh michael how are they how are they getting past the idea of of what's happening to our

00:39:07.460 societies is not leading to more freedom not at all in fact i call it the simulation of freedom

00:39:15.060 so what they're doing is because they have these platforms where people are beautifully able to

00:39:21.060 express themselves you know across a grass a vast plethora of uh platforms it looks like freedom but

00:39:29.660 the terms of the of the of the discourse are completely set by them uh so they are constraining

00:39:36.680 it to such a degree and we don't know where this is going to stop you know this idea of the overton

00:39:41.760 window which is likely allowable space for political discourse it's going to narrow and narrow and narrow

00:39:47.780 and narrow and then sooner or later it'll even come down on the necks of liberals and they'll see that

00:39:53.040 they're you know they've been celebrating the the unpersoning and the the gulagging or the digital

00:39:59.040 gulagging of all these people that they consider enemies well this could happen to them

00:40:03.940 it will happen to them i think it already is into some regard i think it already is i i've had joe

00:40:10.960 lieberman who was a uh senator for the democrats for years presidential vice presidential nominee in

00:40:17.560 the year 2000 um and he told me that he felt a lot of the the old style democrats they're now terrified

00:40:26.740 of the new style democrats because they're not progressive they are radicals

00:40:33.940 right and they'll they could meet to them they could uh shame them for not being you know embracing

00:40:39.520 the green new deal they could do any number of things to totally ruin them i mean you know i'm not

00:40:45.280 that i have that much sympathy for him but i mean it's happening already of course to biden uh and you

00:40:51.080 know this is true yeah they they will turn on a lot of people you know and it happened in the soviet

00:40:55.920 union so even true believers were sent to the gulag were shot in the head and it really didn't matter

00:41:01.840 if they changed the terms just a slight bit you're done so michael when you watched the special last week

00:41:09.940 you wrote to me and said it's vital and then you said that um you're writing as fast as you can

00:41:17.340 because because you you sense the same thing i sense can you put into words what you're feeling

00:41:24.340 sure um like you're saying they're hastening for some reason uh a the development of a worldwide

00:41:34.400 socialism okay and it is going to be an erosion of our rights it is going to impoverish us for the

00:41:44.300 most part you know not everybody but a lot of people could suffer poverty over this and it's

00:41:50.180 going to be persecutorial just like the soviet union was and you know it's just a nightmare uh

00:41:57.280 and it's very frightening and i'm trying to you know i was trying to figure out how are they up to

00:42:01.540 this and why are they doing this and why are corporations in effect seeming to support it uh and

00:42:07.820 i think people like uh you know uh cortez and of course bernie sanders they're just chills for these

00:42:14.240 corporate socialists they're they they're spreading on the ground and trying to you know get the

00:42:20.460 permeation of socialist ideology everywhere they can because these this corporate this socialism

00:42:27.520 will benefit these monopolists in the end uh and that's really what i think is the full picture of

00:42:34.180 what's happening so who are these monopolists that you're talking about who are these well you've

00:42:40.720 you mentioned first the first the first said the avant-garde of this is of course what i'm calling

00:42:47.660 uh the google archipelago uh and that's the title of my next book google archipelago that they are the

00:42:55.560 leading edge the digital giants and they they're leaving the way for the rest of this and they actually

00:43:01.400 believe it uh these are believers and in in the chapter of your book that i i read um yesterday

00:43:09.260 you are uh you you lay it out very clearly that the problem is is their ideology is everywhere it's in

00:43:20.000 all of the base code yes it's even in the technology and i'm going to show how it's actually in the

00:43:27.640 algorithms of course but it's in the very infrastructure of the entire internet and web

00:43:33.980 uh it is unbelievable but i couldn't believe it when i started putting the pieces together

00:43:38.740 it starts with this very utopian leftist communalist idea of you know the commons right and the internet

00:43:48.000 is going to be this free space of sharing this is the whole story in the 90s now just like the

00:43:54.360 soviet union turned from that utopianism to say a centralized state authoritarianism that's exactly

00:44:00.880 what's happening here that it's going from this utopian uh commons to the cloud which is utter control

00:44:09.080 of information in a centralized place by by a particular elite it just happens to be digital and it just

00:44:16.540 happens to be private in this case and they don't see themselves becoming the bad guys because

00:44:24.940 they're just so convinced they're the good guys yeah i mean they think they're spreading you know

00:44:31.040 the wealth of technology to the rest of the world that you know it is the you know they're still they're

00:44:36.700 still trading on this idea that the internet would would serve to enlighten everybody that it would

00:44:42.560 spread literacy far and wide you know everybody will have access to information and all that so they're

00:44:49.080 still trading on the old utopian ideals of the um of the commons and while they're closing the gates

00:44:55.960 as as it were on the centralized control michael rechtenwald you can follow him at anti-pc-n-y-u-prof

00:45:05.720 this is the best of the glenn beck program

00:45:10.880 hey it's glenn and if you like what you hear on the program you should check out pat gray unleashed

00:45:26.720 his podcast is available wherever you download your favorite podcast uh male makeup is catching more

00:45:33.920 men's eyes now as an expert in male makeup i wear it every day i wear it every day too and i

00:45:41.720 hate it it is the worst thing about being on television they're like you're like i don't 0.82

00:45:46.620 want to wear makeup forget it i'm you know people know what i look like and then they say yeah i know

00:45:51.200 that's why you need makeup uh we've we've seen you without it and you're awful so they put it on us

00:45:57.580 every day to tell us how awful we are it's like a daily reminder of how hideous we are as as people

00:46:02.220 who's the guy i interviewed on friday what was his name again uh uh shoot the navy seal he worked

00:46:10.120 with oh yeah jaco so navy seal this guy is a man's man okay uh he he got us out of ramadi and he would

00:46:22.120 chris kyle was on his team zero sense of humor zero sense of humor at least with me uh and uh

00:46:31.840 interviewed him on friday and he's the first person to say no to makeup and and our makeup

00:46:38.580 artist was like well but you're on uh you're gonna be on television under lights it's gonna

00:46:42.460 he's like nope don't care she's like well but you have like a really bad spot it looks like a cut on 1.00

00:46:49.440 your nose don't care okay well i i'm gonna get in trouble with it nope no makeup so he sat down with

00:46:57.020 no makeup uh and because he's a man's man and uh it's an interesting interview because i i liked him

00:47:07.480 you weren't here for no no i had yeah i i liked him uh because he's fascinating guy but i don't think

00:47:15.340 we'd be hanging out because he's just there's no humor in him at all he's done some serious things

00:47:22.180 yeah i mean he led seal team one seal team two seal team three and seal team seven and i said to

00:47:29.160 him not good enough for six did not laugh did he kill you i mean that's almost and he just didn't

00:47:37.380 he just he just stared at me and i went i'm i'm i'm kidding i'm kidding well they do some pretty

00:47:42.980 serious things no i i oh boy oh wow that must have been fun oh it was interesting because i went

00:47:51.000 back several times to try to get that humor thing going with him and uh not really there not there

00:47:57.580 not there with you not there but so anyway jocko will not be wearing male makeup the male makeup but

00:48:02.700 it is true i will say you know there was a time where a lot of these things like manscaping right

00:48:07.680 totally not a thing back in the day the uh the what is the body spray the axe body spray they're

00:48:13.600 selling god only knows how much of that stuff i mean that's just like that's stuff that women 1.00

00:48:17.540 used to put on themselves these are just in just guy sense right i mean all of these things that

00:48:22.120 used to be just women female now i've just crossed over for male with a different market isn't this 0.98

00:48:27.440 kind of what uh michael rechtenwald was kind of talking about today he's talking about there's

00:48:32.920 this new corporate socialism they're behind these things because if they can divide people

00:48:39.500 into more categories they can sell more product and they have more control over you i mean it's it's

00:48:47.940 it's really it's crazy and it's international which was interesting too i mean it's yeah really a lot

00:48:52.880 of things you just he describes kind of straight up like corporatism or even some elements of fascism

00:48:57.580 that's why we're not building a border wall that is the reason because the borders are gone the

00:49:02.800 borders are just going to be gone if they get there this is international socialism this is one

00:49:07.900 world government no borders this is it's just that's just what everybody's after you don't think

00:49:16.040 uh no certainly not everybody's after that but yeah you're saying that this is the underlying

00:49:20.460 philosophy yeah yeah there's not going to be a border there it's it's an interesting thought i mean

00:49:23.920 michael kind of brought it up it's really something i haven't heard uh you know really argued all that

00:49:30.060 but michael's very smart and he's uh kind of going to make this uh case over the next couple weeks

00:49:35.180 with us as well and on more often probably on tv as well cnn now remember cnn has dropped 26 percent

00:49:43.160 in prime time ratings maybe maybe because of stories like this maggot sausage and insect ice cream can

00:49:50.180 help feed the world scientists say after all lobsters aren't pretty but dip these unsightly creatures

00:49:57.960 into warm butter and they instantly become a different matter to most of us why then do we

00:50:03.900 gag at the thought of eating insects because they're insects and i'm not eating them i don't

00:50:10.880 want to eat them that doesn't answer the question why why not if it tasted good would you eat maggots

00:50:17.160 no why but seriously why if they tasted good why wouldn't you eat maggot sausage if you liked it

00:50:24.560 because they're maggots well that's not an answer that's not a why that's just a statement if dogs

00:50:30.040 tasted good would you eat your dog i would not i would not you notice that i don't yeah but not not

00:50:35.720 eat your dog you don't eat any meat right yeah that's what i mean though i mean like if the reason

00:50:40.640 what's the difference why don't you eat your dog because i have a relationship with my dog

00:50:45.240 right right yeah i view different animals in different ways that's a fascinating thing to

00:50:52.940 explore yeah no i do it's true it's true all across my daughter doesn't eat meat she's gone

00:50:58.060 full-fledged vegan okay so it's making your life fun and so we have i've said to her she because she

00:51:03.720 didn't when you know we have a cattle ranch and we slaughter our own cattle for our own beef

00:51:08.420 and uh and she's like i don't like the idea i'm like honey then you can't eat meat if you don't

00:51:16.800 like the idea and she agreed with me she led the way on this one if you don't like the idea if you

00:51:22.700 look at the pretty cows and go oh those are pretty cows i don't want to think about the butcher

00:51:27.060 well then you shouldn't eat meat and that's i think i mean unless you grew up on a farm like one guy

00:51:33.660 who works here grew up on a farm he was telling me like that was just their life like they were nine

00:51:37.860 years old you know slaughtering animals that was mine too and that's a lot of people grew up that

00:51:42.080 way right and that's if you're on a farm that's kind of very standard to you i think if you didn't

00:51:45.820 do that though most people fall into that camp i mean pat says it all the time okay i want to eat

00:51:50.680 the meat i just don't want to think about it i don't want to think about where it comes from

00:51:52.980 and so like it's just that is you see and maybe that's the deal with like spiders i could not eat

00:51:59.200 insects and spiders and couldn't eat that that's the question if that big blob of that hairy australian 1.00

00:52:08.480 fight a spider yeah was like a really good piece of tender filet inside still wouldn't need it well

00:52:15.400 if they shelled it took out the hair no you know no i still would not eat it there's a i think it's

00:52:21.860 kazakhstan that has a very uh legit delicacy in their country very standard uh traditional cultural

00:52:28.500 dish that's horse stew like it's a stew legit made out of horses and there was a controversy a

00:52:34.320 while ago because we kept shipping our we're not allowed to have horse meat here but we would just

00:52:37.780 ship them over there and then the horses i think that's a problem if you got horses and they're

00:52:42.740 going to die if you're slaughtering them you know just again like the this that doesn't answer the

00:52:47.740 question right like there's no it is a weird cultural thing that we do in every country does it 0.99

00:52:52.840 which is you pick certain species you're like ah those are just totally fine to kill and eat

00:52:56.480 whatever you want and those that's crazy you'd be nuts if you ate one of those and it's like well

00:53:00.700 the really that the separation factor there if you're gonna eat meat right is it should be taste

00:53:05.380 right like which ones taste really good if maggots tasted delicious why would you care and there is a

00:53:12.720 an internal sort of guttural like factor but like it's not explainable there's no re if they put that

00:53:20.360 if they made sausage out of maggots they didn't say like you didn't know it was maggots you started

00:53:24.800 eating it and you liked it and then later on realized it was maggots you would stop eating it

00:53:30.020 that's not a that's not a coherent decision well then is it a coherent if i made if i made sausage

00:53:37.580 out of people and it was delicious well i you don't so there's no separation between people and

00:53:43.860 animals we are animals we're just intelligent animals with souls but i mean really right there's

00:53:53.740 lots of people that just look at people as animals we're just an animal okay so why not just

00:53:59.140 yeah i mean there are certainly people who do that right but i mean you don't do it but what's the

00:54:05.340 difference it's an animal it's still an animal product a pretty large religious one if you want

00:54:10.140 to start there well no let's say we're not killing them we're saying instead of burying them we're

00:54:15.040 we're we're we're using all of their there you go well like you know what there you go maybe maybe

00:54:21.980 we don't kill people because that's against the law and against many different things but maybe when

00:54:26.800 they die we think about giving people the option there's human composting now in washington first

00:54:32.040 state that just passed it i know maybe we offer you know a little bit of a uh soylent green option
