The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guest： Patrick Courrielche ｜ 5⧸8⧸19

00:00:00.000 Hey, podcasters, we have a lot. We kind of actually begin and end with the American dream

00:00:05.240 on our podcast today. What is the American dream? Because I don't hear any politicians

00:00:09.860 talking about it. The Democratic voter concerns, according to Politico. I don't think those are

00:00:16.160 actual concerns of actual people. And we kind of go through that we we talked to the podcaster

00:00:23.980 for red pilled America that talks about saving American jobs. And we kind of go into this just

00:00:29.680 a little bit and bring the bring the whole conversation around with the Biden polls.

00:00:35.040 There is a thirst in the Democratic Party for something other than socialism. Also, Joe

00:00:42.340 Biden, we talked to Pat about what happened with Joe Biden in China and in Ukraine and

00:00:49.280 some really great stats from last night's TV show that if you haven't watched it, you have

00:00:54.600 to we gave you a little bit of Cory Booker and and what Cory Booker has done as mayor

00:01:01.480 and senator. You're going to love that. And my favorite AOC being confused by the garbage

00:03:03.940 That's home title lock.com. All right. I, you know, my day starts the same way.

00:03:21.240 My day usually starts focused on what it should be focused on.

00:03:26.480 And I don't think we're all that different. I think our days start exactly the same.

00:03:36.360 This morning, my alarm went off about five o'clock. And every morning I just get up,

00:03:44.180 drag myself out of bed and I get showered. And then I stand for about five minutes in my closet,

00:03:48.620 just trying to find anything that still fits. I mean, I got a whole closet full of clothes,

00:03:53.460 nothing I can really still wear today. I'm going to start exercising. I tell myself,

00:03:58.340 I listened to a podcast. I try to get a quick update on the insanity that happened on the other

00:04:04.720 side of the world where the sun is now setting before we begin our insanity. I peek into my bedroom

00:04:11.640 where at least one of the kids are now fast asleep. They climbed into bed with us last night because of

00:04:17.220 the thunderstorm showers. And I wonder if he or she is going to be rested enough now to ace

00:04:23.340 that test that we studied for last night. I just want them to do well in life, but I don't even

00:04:30.520 know how to help them anymore. The nonsense taught in their school shocks me almost every time. And I

00:04:36.520 don't even know why anymore. Two plus two doesn't equal four. There is no gender. And I don't even 1.00

00:04:42.020 recognize the country that people are describing when they talk about America. And I care. I do.

00:04:47.960 I'm not a hater. I don't want to burn the whole system down. I don't want to spread fake news,

00:04:54.860 but I don't even know what's true anymore. Everything my parents taught me now seems out

00:05:00.120 of fashion. I worry about the economy. I worry about my job. I worry about other people's job.

00:05:05.680 I worry about illegal immigration. And I'm not stupid. And I'm not racist. I don't want kids in 1.00

00:05:11.100 cages. I'm proud of our history of Ellis Island, but I want to know who's here. My family came here

00:05:17.920 for the same reasons. They just wanted a chance. And that's all I want. That's all I want for my

00:05:25.680 children. And I'm tired of the political bickering. I think me and my friends, we could fix this

00:05:31.460 just by leaving people alone and recognizing that we're all the same. We just want a shot.

00:05:41.100 Isn't that the American dream? It's not two cars. It's just having a shot. And are our kids going

00:05:51.800 to have that shot? And I don't see a politician talking about this because I mean it. I think we

00:06:01.880 could get together with our neighbors and fix this. What does, what does no genders have to do with 1.00

00:06:09.360 fixing our country? So our children have a shot. 0.54

00:06:18.060 They're now talking about getting rid of capitalism openly. Forget about socialism. That was so 2016.

00:06:26.660 they're actually now talking about, Oh no, no, no. I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't want to be like

00:06:35.060 Sweden. They're now actually stating the free markets and they're now saying they want to abolish

00:06:43.380 capitalism. You know why they didn't want to stand by that stupid green jobs deal? Because if you read 1.00

00:06:49.720 what was in there, it says the fundamental transformation of our financial system from a

00:06:58.580 free market to a system of environmental and economic justice, that's what we're talking about.

00:07:08.920 Yesterday I saw this, I saw this article in Politico and here's the headline. Here's where the

00:07:21.980 Democrat candidates stand on the biggest issues of 2020. And let me ask you, mom, dad,

00:07:28.900 college student is, is, are any of these the biggest issues in your life? Supreme court expansion,

00:07:40.060 basically packing the courts. Is that something that you sit around with, with your friends?

00:07:45.460 And when you're really talking heart to heart about the country, do you really sit around and go,

00:07:50.160 you know what, you know what would fix this country? We got to do this right away. Pack the Supreme court.

00:07:55.540 Make that more political. You know, it would really fix this country. The thing I'm most worried

00:08:03.840 about legalizing marijuana. That's number two. Number three, abolishing the electoral college.

00:08:17.960 You know, let me go through all of these things and let me tell you what they're really about.

00:08:21.980 Supreme court expansion. Supreme court expansion. What is their goal? Is their goal really about

00:08:28.700 helping you in your job, helping you keep more of your money, giving your kids a shot?

00:08:39.040 Are they helping you raise your kids when you talk about Supreme court expansion? No,

00:08:47.040 no, no, that's about a fundamental transformation of America. That's what that is.

00:08:55.140 Legalizing marijuana. Okay. Maybe I'll be kind and say that has something to do with,

00:09:01.380 uh, with, um,

00:09:05.280 prison reform. And I'm, I'm okay with that. I'm a libertarian. I'm fine. Legalize drugs.

00:09:11.080 I'm fine with that. But is that what most people are talking about in their life?

00:09:19.060 Abolishing the electoral college. What's that all about? Fundamental transformation of the United

00:09:24.780 States. And it's about power. The electoral college is there to keep us balanced, to make sure that the

00:09:34.560 big cities don't dominate the rest of the country. You may not like the way the election, you know,

00:09:43.140 bears out, but the founders did it for a reason. We are not a democracy. We are a republic.

00:09:50.000 And a democracy is always number one or number two on any socialist or communist list of how to flip a

00:09:58.740 nation. Because then it becomes mob rule. When did we, when did we become these people where we were

00:10:07.720 like, Hey, 51% of us say it's this way. So shut your pie hole. We've always hated that. We're a country 0.97

00:10:16.360 for the underdog. This is why the left is so screwed up right now. They think we're against gay people. 0.99

00:10:24.700 I'm not against gay people. I feel bad when people have lived their whole life, feeling one way and

00:10:33.060 afraid to come out and say it. This is about bullies. And America has always been on the side of

00:10:41.220 underdogs. But you know, when you get enough underdogs together and they're led by a few bullies,

00:10:48.660 they don't, they're not the underdog anymore.

00:10:57.480 Universal healthcare. They told you that they would give you $2,500 per family per year. That's how much

00:11:06.940 your savings would be $2,500 per year. Did you see the $2,500 in, in, you know, coming back to you? Did

00:11:15.660 you see that reduction in your healthcare costs? Because my healthcare costs have gone through

00:11:20.860 the roof. Everyone's healthcare costs have gone through the roof. This didn't do what they said.

00:11:27.020 You trusted them. They promised you. They even lied about keeping your doctor. They lied about it,

00:11:36.700 admitted to it later. They lied. And now they want to do more.

00:11:42.200 Well, why did they lie in the first place? Because this isn't about healthcare. This isn't

00:11:49.000 about you. This is about controlling that part of the economy. This is about them having more power

00:11:56.720 over you. It's about getting rid of the free market one sector at a time.

00:12:03.620 Taxing the rich. It's nice. But whenever you say, hey, how much is a fair share? And people actually hear how

00:12:14.500 much people are paying in taxes. They're outraged by it. How much is your fair share? Let me ask you this.

00:12:24.280 When it comes to reparations, how many people in your life, this is on Politico's top Democratic

00:12:32.760 candidates where they stand on the biggest issues in 2020. Is reparations really the biggest issue

00:12:39.380 that we're facing right now? Where, where is, where is just being decent to each other?

00:12:46.800 Reparations? Reparations? Reparations is about changing everything. It's about punishing people.

00:13:02.880 Is anybody else sick and tired of punishing people or being punished? Banishing people or being banished?

00:13:10.260 I am. I don't want to be other people's judges. I don't. I'm tired of it.

00:13:22.400 Free college. That's like healthcare. First of all, can't be done. Oh, it'll save everybody. No,

00:13:29.680 it won't. It will drive the cost of college through the roof, but you won't notice it because you'll be

00:13:35.240 paying taxes for it. This is about the government controlling all education. This is about the

00:13:44.800 government controlling your children and your children's chance just to have a shot.

00:13:52.960 Rejecting super PACs. Is that really on your priority list, America? Because that's about

00:13:58.320 political change. Late-term abortions. This one's not even about people.

00:14:12.320 This is about getting us to disregard people.

00:14:18.560 How many people do you know that are for late-term abortions? And I'm talking to the Democrats.

00:14:23.560 How many do you know that are for, you know, letting the child die after birth?

00:14:33.520 Killing the child the night before he or she could be born.

00:14:39.800 Is that your biggest priority? Is that how you see fixing America? 0.99

00:14:45.820 The new Green Deal. 0.74

00:14:47.180 What's that one about? Well, read the bill. I love it when people say, read the bill.

00:14:55.760 This one's pretty easy. You can read it.

00:14:59.460 It talks about the fundamental transformation of the economic system of America from a free market

00:15:04.860 capitalist society to one of environmental and social justice.

00:15:09.680 That's about their control.

00:15:14.100 Eliminating the filibuster is the last one on the list of the top priorities, the biggest priorities.

00:15:22.800 Ending the filibuster? Again, it's about changing the system for control.

00:15:28.120 We all have bigger things to worry about.

00:15:43.940 And I think this is why Donald Trump will do well again.

00:15:48.080 And it's why Joe Biden is doing well, because Joe Biden is not seen, even though he is part of this,

00:15:57.780 he'll do all of these things.

00:16:01.980 He's not out talking about it all the time.

00:16:04.760 And so Lunchbucket Joe, who is anything but Lunchbucket Joe, is doing well in the polls.

00:16:13.440 Because everyone else seems so radical.

00:16:18.080 The best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:16:27.460 Hey, it's Glenn, and I want to tell you about something that you should either end your day with

00:16:31.320 or start your morning with, and that is the news and why it matters.

00:16:37.320 If you like this show, you're going to love the news and why it matters.

00:16:40.860 It's a bunch of us that all get together at the end of the day and just talk about the stories that matter to you and your life.

00:16:46.960 The news and why it matters.

00:16:48.080 Look for it now wherever you download your favorite podcasts.

00:16:51.020 It's amazing to see, because you're talking about the priorities and if the politicians are actually addressing them.

00:16:57.420 And so often, the answer to that is just no.

00:17:00.140 No.

00:17:00.460 Right?

00:17:00.620 I mean, the Green New Deal is the perfect example of this. 1.00

00:17:04.920 Now, as you point out, when you read the Green New Deal, you find out it's not at all about really anything green.

00:17:11.920 It's more of a green is the new red deal.

00:17:15.240 Right?

00:17:15.380 They're trying to hide all of the policies they've been trying to pass for a million years under the sort of pretense of the environment.

00:17:23.300 But that's not really what it's about.

00:17:24.940 When you look at climate change and you want to look at the priorities for the American people, we see the same thing over and over and over again.

00:17:33.480 This is the list of the priorities.

00:17:34.700 Number one, the economy. 1.00

00:17:36.520 Again, it's the economy, stupid. 1.00

00:17:38.660 Is this a thing that is supposed to be true? 1.00

00:17:41.520 If it's true, Donald Trump's not going to have a problem getting reelected.

00:17:44.300 Yeah.

00:17:44.460 The first three are really the economy.

00:17:47.120 Yeah.

00:17:47.280 When you talk about things that people are worried about, these are things that concern me every single day.

00:17:53.220 The economy.

00:17:54.260 What is ahead?

00:17:56.060 Number two, what about health care?

00:17:58.300 What are they going to do to health care? 0.98

00:18:00.480 And it's specifically health care costs.

00:18:02.800 Yes.

00:18:03.220 So again, that is very related to the economy.

00:18:05.540 People just want to make sure that they can pay for their health care.

00:18:07.280 I just want to be able to take my kid to the doctor if they need something.

00:18:11.520 That's all I worry about.

00:18:13.160 And what are they going to do to it now?

00:18:15.660 And is it going to make it better or worse?

00:18:17.800 Listen to that.

00:18:18.740 What are they going to do to my health care?

00:18:24.100 With a complete disregard of the free market.

00:18:28.280 Health care is getting better.

00:18:31.020 But it's getting more expensive.

00:18:33.020 Why?

00:18:33.380 Because they're tinkering with it.

00:18:36.740 Education.

00:18:37.380 They've driven up the cost of education to unbelievable sums of money.

00:18:45.700 And it's all because the United States government started guaranteeing loans.

00:18:50.600 Well, that way everyone can go to college.

00:18:52.560 Well, not everyone should go to college.

00:18:54.980 Some should go to trade schools.

00:18:57.840 And also, it's not guaranteeing everybody goes to college.

00:18:59.980 It is instead really subsidizing.

00:19:03.780 It's making sure everybody goes in debt.

00:19:05.860 Yes.

00:19:06.240 And it's subsidizing people who are more well off, who tend to go to college more often,

00:19:11.960 with money that is coming from the entire tax base.

00:19:17.440 So, again, it's almost a reverse of what the left says they want.

00:19:22.640 And they're guaranteeing these loans. 0.96

00:19:24.880 So, of course, colleges and universities who aren't, you know, they're not morons here.

00:19:29.460 They just keep hiking the prices knowing that everyone has to pay them.

00:19:32.760 Because, well, I mean, if the prices get too high, either the government comes in and bails everybody out,

00:19:38.220 which they've done before, or they come in and they say,

00:19:41.820 well, we'll change the program to make the loan more affordable.

00:19:45.580 So, more money goes to the college and less money goes to interest.

00:19:49.140 But what does that mean to the average person?

00:19:50.920 Nothing.

00:19:51.220 They're still paying it, and the principal's higher.

00:19:54.940 So, then they kind of wind up, this just keeps churning and churning and churning,

00:19:58.660 and prices go up and up and up.

00:20:00.120 And the result is that college costs have outpaced with inflation almost every other part of our society.

00:20:08.700 And you are going to college to be indoctrinated.

00:20:13.100 Never has it been more true to say Woodrow Wilson's dream of college education has finally happened.

00:20:21.220 His dream of a college education was to make a man or a boy more unlike his father as possible.

00:20:32.200 So, to try to change him so he doesn't reflect his father or his father's value at all.

00:20:41.100 Well, they're doing that.

00:20:44.840 Is that what you want?

00:20:46.920 So, the first three, economy, health care costs, and education.

00:20:50.940 All things all of us worry about.

00:20:52.580 But I want to go down this list and show you, I don't think I have ever seen a party more out of step with the items on the list of what people actually care about and how they rank them ever before in any election.

00:21:10.540 Listen, if the economy stays as solid as it is right now, Donald Trump has a big win in front of him.

00:21:23.360 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:21:25.980 Man, I'm so excited.

00:21:42.480 Can you feel the anticipation?

00:21:45.300 It's beginning.

00:21:46.340 I'm feeling it.

00:21:47.900 I am Spartacus.

00:21:51.160 When he said that, it was magical.

00:21:54.440 I am Spartacus.

00:21:57.880 Oh, my gosh.

00:21:59.280 Yes, you are.

00:22:00.080 I mean, not in any way, shape, or form.

00:22:02.080 But yes, I see you saying that you're Spartacus.

00:22:06.520 The magic of Cory Brook Booker really just kind of comes from him looking for the moment where he can look into the camera and say,

00:22:16.520 I'm some sort of superhero.

00:22:18.380 John Stewart actually introduced Booker once as the superhero mayor of Newark.

00:22:25.580 Look, I will tell you that I am trying to buy Cory Booker's cape right now because I think it needs a special place in our Museum of American History because superhero is really what he is.

00:22:39.880 And if he was a superhero, his name would be Stuntman.

00:22:42.520 Earlier this year, the Washington Post called Booker perhaps the true first social media influencer in politics.

00:22:51.500 Wow.

00:22:53.100 Now, he's the Don King of self-promotion.

00:22:56.160 He has done all kinds of stuff.

00:22:57.460 First, the first thing he did when he was elected to his first position in Newark City for Newark City Council, he was 29 years old and he went on a 10-day hunger strike.

00:23:07.320 Oh, my gosh.

00:23:09.700 Oh, my gosh.

00:23:10.400 He's that magical.

00:23:12.360 Yes.

00:23:13.420 He slept outdoors in a tent to draw attention to Cory Drug Dealing.

00:23:21.120 That's what he was trying to do.

00:23:23.660 Four million Twitter followers later, Stuntman has stayed busy.

00:23:28.920 Now, he was the mayor of Newark and when he was the mayor of Newark, he lived on food stamps for a week.

00:23:35.980 He helped shovel an elderly man's driveway and he rescued a freezing dog.

00:23:42.200 In one of his most viral stunts, he responded to a Newark mother who said on Twitter that she was snowed in and running out of diapers.

00:23:49.360 Now, this is a very touching story.

00:23:52.380 Okay.

00:23:52.680 Here's his mom. 0.94

00:23:54.180 She's run out of diapers.

00:23:56.000 She snowed in.

00:23:57.620 The mayor comes to deliver pampers?

00:24:01.520 Oh, my gosh.

00:24:03.940 This guy is such a superhero.

00:24:06.640 It's Stuntman to the rescue.

00:24:08.900 He went to her house, appeared on her doorstep with arms full of pampers.

00:24:14.920 And since that moment, a star was born.

00:24:18.260 He first ran for mayor of Newark in 2002, but he lost to a guy who's been around for a long time.

00:24:24.600 And the campaign, of course, was captured in an Oscar-nominated documentary titled Street Fight.

00:24:32.340 Four years later, he ran for mayor and again won.

00:24:36.840 Now, I know everybody was thinking, well, that means Newark, Newark, New Jersey was rescued by Stuntman.

00:24:43.960 Well, no.

00:24:46.260 In 2014, after he became a U.S. senator, Booker told The Atlantic, I want to deal with facts.

00:24:53.780 In God we trust, but I'm a man, and I'm a man of faith, but everybody else has to bring me data.

00:24:57.900 So let's bring Stuntman his data and report on his time as mayor of Newark.

00:25:06.080 One of his first acts as mayor was to pass an 8.3 tax increase.

00:25:12.400 Yes, 8.3% income tax on property taxes, and a new tax on rental cars.

00:25:19.700 And I got to tell you, if I had property in Newark, New Jersey, I would be thinking, now my city's fixed.

00:25:27.180 He's just raised my taxes.

00:25:29.060 Thank you, superhero Stuntman.

00:25:31.100 During his last three years of mayor, taxes rose 20% on residents.

00:25:39.760 Yeah.

00:25:40.800 He wants to be your president.

00:25:42.100 That could happen to you.

00:25:43.040 The good thing is, though, people in Newark are just so flush with money.

00:25:46.780 They don't care about the tax increases.

00:25:48.820 They don't even notice it.

00:25:49.660 It's basically like you're in Greenwich, Connecticut.

00:25:52.280 Now, there was a 20% increase for taxes during his last three years as mayor, but they also had some shortfalls.

00:26:00.700 So, even with all that new money rolling in, he had to cut 1,100 workers from the city payroll, including 160 policemen.

00:26:08.960 That's 15% of the Newark police force.

00:26:11.900 But don't worry about that.

00:26:12.920 I mean, there's no crime in Newark, is there?

00:26:15.660 No.

00:26:16.240 Yeah.

00:26:16.580 Not at all.

00:26:17.240 People are so wealthy.

00:26:18.080 Why would they commit crimes?

00:26:19.260 School remained under state control.

00:26:21.160 The city's finances were such a mess that it couldn't even borrow money to fix the water system.

00:26:28.100 Oh, man.

00:26:29.520 Please vote Cory Booker.

00:26:31.760 New businesses came to town because of the superhero on Twitter saying all kinds of things.

00:26:37.640 But during his last full year as mayor, the outer wards of the city had a curfew because of shootings and drug dealing.

00:26:44.360 So, I don't know about you, but I want to go do my shopping right there in the inner city where the minute it gets dark, you better be inside.

00:26:55.480 I love that.

00:26:56.920 The share of Newark citizens living below the poverty line rose while he was mayor, maxing out at 36%.

00:27:05.080 Currently, the poverty rate in Newark still hovers around 30.

00:27:09.720 But that's double the national poverty rate.

00:27:12.680 When Booker left near the end of his second term to become a U.S. senator and Spartacus, he left behind a $93 million deficit.

00:27:23.760 They should have just raised taxes some more. 1.00

00:27:26.620 Here's what the New York Times says about Booker.

00:27:29.880 His constituents do not need to be reminded that six years after the mayor came into office vowing to make Newark a model of urban transformation,

00:27:38.280 their city remains an emblem of poverty.

00:27:41.320 But don't look there.

00:27:42.680 It's like there's nothing there.

00:27:44.340 I mean, he's a superhero.

00:27:45.680 Remember?

00:27:47.000 The same year as that New York Times quote, Ellen gave Stuntman the superhero.

00:27:54.300 She gave him a superhero costume after he was in the right place in time to help evacuate a woman from a burning apartment building.

00:28:01.680 Wow.

00:28:02.580 That is fantastic.

00:28:03.780 Now, what Ellen didn't point out is that Newark had to eliminate three firefighting companies because Cory Booker didn't know how to work on a budget.

00:28:14.620 And so they were way over budget.

00:28:18.220 And so they had to cut all these firemen.

00:28:20.300 And so Cory Booker, the right place, right time, maybe.

00:28:23.940 But it's his fault that there weren't any firemen there to help people.

00:28:28.520 By the middle of Booker's second term as mayor, even fellow Democrats started to complain that he was out of town too much.

00:28:34.440 Which, you know, in an 18-month period, he was only out of town 25% of the time.

00:28:42.540 But, I mean, he had fixed everything, right?

00:28:44.940 Now, to be fair, superheroes do give an awful lot of speeches.

00:28:50.260 I know, because I watch all the Marvel movies.

00:28:51.900 Stu doesn't know this.

00:28:52.660 He didn't see the Marvel movies.

00:28:54.000 But they're always constantly giving a speech.

00:28:56.360 Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:28:58.820 Between 2008 and getting elected to the Senate, Booker gave 96 paid speeches across the country, earning $1.7 million.

00:29:08.820 Now, he didn't use that to pay down the $93 million deficit.

00:29:13.200 He did give some of it to charity.

00:29:15.740 He gave $620,000 to churches and nonprofits in Newark.

00:29:20.860 So it's kind of superhero-ish, kind of, or what most of us would say, what you're supposed to do.

00:29:29.360 A heck of a lot more than Beto, though.

00:29:31.640 I mean, that's at least—

00:29:32.420 Well, no, but Beto's giving all of his time.

00:29:34.280 Well, 0.3% of his money, but all of his time.

00:29:37.580 All of his time.

00:29:38.140 All of his time.

00:29:38.840 Now, the New York Times said a growing number of Newarkers complain that he has proved to be a better marketer than mayor,

00:29:47.500 who shines in the spotlight but shows little interest in the less glamorous work of getting to do what it takes to run a city.

00:29:55.560 Business leaders say he dazzles at news conferences, but he flags on follow-through.

00:29:59.540 And just one more thing here, before we change subjects, remember the Newark mother?

00:30:07.740 The one who's like, oh, I don't have any pampers.

00:30:11.140 Oh, Mother Hubbard, I'm checking my cupboard, and there are no pampers to be found.

00:30:16.660 Well, yeah, she was.

00:30:20.780 It's true.

00:30:21.340 She didn't have any pampers, and it's true that Cory Booker showed up to deliver diapers because she was snowed in.

00:30:28.640 But here's the real story of it.

00:30:30.820 It's really—the story's not about Booker being a hero at all.

00:30:35.720 In fact, she was snowed in because while he was mayor, the city didn't have a contract for snow plowing the streets, so no one could move.

00:30:49.440 Quote, the only reason he brought me pampers was that it had been three days and our street hadn't been plowed.

00:30:57.960 I have five kids.

00:30:59.080 Trust me, I don't just run out of pampers.

00:31:00.820 All we wanted for him to do was to plow our streets.

00:31:05.300 It's all about knowing how to manage a city.

00:31:08.800 That is stuntman.

00:31:14.140 That is Spartacus.

00:31:16.060 How do you not vote for a guy like that?

00:31:17.800 Well—

00:31:18.260 That's an impressive record.

00:31:19.460 Well, there's a couple of other things that kind of came up that we talked about last night on the TV show at 5 o'clock last night.

00:31:38.680 Last night's episode, we did another socialist spotlight.

00:31:43.280 And Cory Booker was the guy.

00:31:45.000 And what's weird is he's really, really socialist right now.

00:31:49.900 He's like, I'm for free everything.

00:31:52.900 Except there's a couple of kind of capitalist things that he's done.

00:31:57.540 And some might even say crony capitalist.

00:32:00.980 Kind of the thing that everybody on all sides of the aisle hate that nobody's really picking up on that maybe you should hear.

00:32:10.380 I will say one of my favorite parts is, like, let's say I had to get my—I wanted to get someone to mow my lawn every week.

00:32:18.740 I would be hesitant to hire a 15-year-old to do that job.

00:32:24.260 That's what I would be.

00:32:25.220 As a—just a homeowner, I would just be like, I don't know.

00:32:27.540 Well, let me tell you.

00:32:28.480 Let me tell you, he doesn't have any problem with the utes.

00:32:32.020 Okay?

00:32:32.360 Hey, the utes are fine with him.

00:32:35.020 We've got a story for you next about how much he appreciates the utes.

00:32:41.440 And what kind of jobs he'll give to 15-year-olds.

00:32:44.600 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:33:03.320 Patrick Karelchi is the host of Red Pilled America.

00:33:07.240 And, Patrick, I am on record saying anybody who tells you that manufacturing jobs—I'm going to bring all those jobs back to America. 0.99

00:33:16.820 Either an idiot or a liar because of technological changes that are on the horizon. 0.99

00:33:24.600 You did a three-part series for Red Pilled America called American Icon. 1.00

00:33:30.000 And it started exactly the same place I started years ago with just trying to find a baseball hat made in America.

00:33:41.840 Yeah, yeah, it did.

00:33:43.040 Thanks for having me, guys.

00:33:44.440 You know, we're like everybody.

00:33:46.560 We're trying to make some merch for our listeners.

00:33:49.440 And we got a sample.

00:33:51.140 And we got the sample back.

00:33:52.940 And it was like, man, this is pretty cheap.

00:33:54.420 Why is it so cheap?

00:33:55.280 And we looked at the tag.

00:33:56.660 And it said, made in Bangladesh.

00:33:58.540 And so we're like, well, we can't do this.

00:34:03.000 This is Red Pilled America.

00:34:04.240 So we decided let's make a made in America baseball cap.

00:34:09.460 And let's kind of look at the story of American manufacturing through the creation of this baseball cap and see what it tells us.

00:34:18.180 So we kind of went back to the beginning of baseball.

00:34:22.380 I mean, the thing about a baseball cap, it is an American icon.

00:34:25.740 I mean, it is an American creation.

00:34:28.540 That was made almost predominantly here in the United States for, you know, 150 years.

00:34:35.820 And then all of a sudden now.

00:34:36.440 I never thought of that.

00:34:37.540 Nobody else wears them.

00:34:40.260 I mean, we are.

00:34:41.280 It is an American creation.

00:34:43.640 And now it is a foreign product.

00:34:45.740 And so we were kind of like, how did this happen?

00:34:47.920 And so we go back to the creation of baseball and we follow it all the way up through to today.

00:34:53.200 And it was just this fascinating kind of look at how manufacturing kind of left the United States and the conditions that were kind of prevalent, the conditions that were around at the time to kind of make manufacturing flourish here.

00:35:10.020 And, you know, there is – I have to say I entered this – anyone that says that bringing back American manufacturing is going to be an easy thing that could happen easily is not saying telling the truth.

00:35:23.420 It's very complicated.

00:35:24.700 It's a complicated discussion.

00:35:26.640 But that said, I entered this in with a certain thought process, with my own bias and my own ideology, this kind of standard kind of conservative look of the world.

00:35:40.140 And I have to say that it did change.

00:35:42.640 My mind changed somewhat.

00:35:44.660 And what I learned from the specialists is we have to have a completely different mindset.

00:35:52.080 The only way that we bring back any of these jobs is if we completely change our mindset.

00:35:58.640 I spoke to a guy that actually has a hat manufacturing company here in the United States.

00:36:04.480 One of the issues that he's running into is that people don't even think about going into the manufacturing business.

00:36:11.200 We've lost our shop classes in high school.

00:36:14.200 There's no more shop.

00:36:15.540 I mean, I remember the day when I would go to wood shop and I would – you know, people would go into sewing class and –

00:36:22.220 You know what's crazy?

00:36:23.140 Have you ever been to Facebook?

00:36:24.940 Facebook on their campus, they have a giant shop class, and it is always packed.

00:36:29.420 It's always packed.

00:36:30.560 Really?

00:36:31.260 People love making things with their hands.

00:36:33.700 And what we forget is – but when we've lost manufacturing, you've lost more than just the ability to make things.

00:36:42.260 A perfect example.

00:36:44.120 Bangladesh isn't going to start by making the stealth bomber, right?

00:36:48.500 They start by making towels, and then they go on to making T-shirts, and then they go on to making the baseball cap, and then they go on to making – assembling our smartphones, and then they move up from there.

00:36:59.520 When you lose your base of manufacturing, you lose the ability to innovate in the future because people don't know how to work in a shop.

00:37:10.300 And so it was a very interesting – there's a lot of talk of tariffs now and whether they're good and whether they're bad.

00:37:20.420 And I feel like what we're using these tariffs for now is more to try to get fair – to actually get free trade because there are these relationships that we have with foreign countries are not reciprocal.

00:37:35.000 They do not – they manipulate their currencies.

00:37:40.140 They use slave labor in many cases.

00:37:41.900 In Bangladesh, 1,100 people died in the collapse of a building because they don't have certain kinds of building regulations there.

00:37:49.940 So I think at the end of the day – and we go through this story.

00:37:55.440 It's a three-part series on Red Pilled America.

00:37:57.180 You could see it on iHeartRadio.

00:37:58.520 So we really delve really deep into this entire process and come to the conclusion that we must start changing our mindset on this.

00:38:09.740 We must start valuing the ability to make things again rather than just become a service industry that feels like, okay, China is – we lose on our security.

00:38:21.980 We lose the ability to be able to purchase products, components for our military because the Chinese – we can't get components without Chinese parts. 1.00

00:38:33.540 So there's so many things that we lose by just pushing everything overseas besides the jobs.

00:38:41.240 I have to tell you, Patrick, my son and I are really into old cars, and he really wants to rebuild one from ground up.

00:38:53.680 And I'm like, I have no idea how to do that.

00:38:57.060 No idea.

00:38:58.240 But we've been looking into it, and the more we look into old cars from, you know, the turn of the century up until really after World War II,

00:39:07.220 there were all of these great cars that were made all over America that were just innovative and totally different.

00:39:16.380 And people would go into the car company business.

00:39:21.900 Most of them failed, but they failed because the big three would put them out.

00:39:25.800 But they would go in to build – you know, they'd only build 30 cars a year or 10 cars, you know, total.

00:39:32.680 But there was this idea that you could do it, and now we've lost that.

00:39:39.220 We've lost the idea that, yeah, my friend – you know, you hear something – yeah, my friend is building cars.

00:39:44.600 You're like, what is he, nuts?

00:39:47.000 Yeah. 0.62

00:39:47.620 You know, I spoke to a guy that does a lot of work with aerospace business and military contractors,

00:39:54.040 and they are concerned – deeply concerned because we have lost the ability to bring people into their companies to build things and make things because it's just not taught.

00:40:08.180 It's almost frowned upon.

00:40:10.220 Parents look at, oh, okay, if you're going to go in that direction, you're a failure.

00:40:14.620 That said, people graduate with four-year degrees in whatever degree it is, and they can't get a job anywhere because of various other forces in play.

00:40:27.860 And until we start to really change our mindset and look at it as, you know what, we need this on our shore.

00:40:33.640 Yes, are we going to ever make toilet brushes again?

00:40:38.040 Maybe not.

00:40:38.840 Probably not.

00:40:39.560 But we can – if we start to value Made in America more and we start to see the value in it, I think that that starts to open the doors and you start to create a workforce.

00:40:51.580 But we're talking about, you know, a two-decade-plus –

00:40:55.920 And at the same time, Patrick, you've got technology passing you.

00:41:00.760 I mean, you have technology making most of the manual labor obsolete, even in China.

00:41:06.720 I mean, they're already going into technology where it's robotics and 3D printing, and you're just not going to need the humans to be able – which I think is even more frightening, because then we lose it entirely.

00:41:21.420 We don't even know how to fix it.

00:41:23.680 You know, it's like it's machine learning.

00:41:26.420 We don't even know how they're learning, and it's just they're teaching themselves to do things, and we don't even understand them.

00:41:33.960 And that's a problem.

00:41:36.260 We can't lose our intellectual and physical abilities to be able to step in.

00:41:43.220 Otherwise, the world's going to be just a magic show.

00:41:45.960 You know, that is probably one of the scariest things that we've been looking at, this AI and how technology changes lives and progress and things that look like progress.

00:41:58.040 What does that do to the human condition?

00:42:00.400 And I think that a lot of times – I mean, we're so conditioned to believe that all progress is a positive thing for human culture.

00:42:09.120 I think of one story that, you know, when the explorers first came here to the United States and decided to make contact with the natives, eventually 90% of the people died because of the germs that we brought with us.

00:42:25.760 And I often think, would we, knowing that, going back to that time, the progress that we made by making that contact with those natives, if we knew that 90% of them were going to die, would we have made that decision to make the contact?

00:42:44.420 Or would we have taken a step back and thought about how to better serve mankind?

00:42:52.780 And I think when we look at technology, we so often just run straightforward thinking any progress is a good thing.

00:43:02.080 But in a lot of cases, there's huge, huge impacts on human life that I think that we need to start thinking about a little bit more.

00:43:11.960 And it's very hard to think on those terms when you're talking about, you know, the bottom line.

00:43:19.660 I have to tell you, Patrick, I would love to talk to you about this.

00:43:24.300 I'm very much into technology and AI, ASI, AGI, and I'm telling you, nobody is asking that question.

00:43:32.900 Too few people are asking the question, yeah, we can do it, but should we?

00:43:37.000 And the entire world, I mean, what's happening in South Korea right now, where they're just running headlong into all kinds of things that you should stop and say, wait a minute, wait a minute, this changes everything.

00:43:51.980 But all these people want to be first.

00:43:54.500 And we're not asking the big ethical questions of what does this mean?

00:44:01.520 Because we're talking about alien life forms.

00:44:05.460 They're not going to think like us.

00:44:06.800 It's alien life forms.

00:44:08.660 And those alien life forms will not, they will be relentless.

00:44:13.440 They will not deviate from their course.

00:44:17.020 So if we program it to do something, it will do it.

00:44:22.480 Let's say, you know, we want new biofuels.

00:44:25.820 Great.

00:44:26.540 If that's what the program says, well, at some point it may look at humans as a biofuel and break us down.

00:44:35.260 I mean, we just have to be methodical and slow down.

00:44:41.320 Yeah, and I don't think people realize how quickly when these innovations come along, how quickly they come along.

00:44:49.640 I mean, think about the smartphone.

00:44:50.980 How long has it been since the smartphone has been in our lives?

00:44:54.860 I still have the first video of a waiter that came and served me at my table on my phone, on the phone that I'm using right now.

00:45:04.780 It wasn't that long ago that smartphones came along, but when these things happen and when these changes happen, they happen – they can happen overnight.

00:45:13.560 And we aren't – we worry about and we are concerned with biohazards, right? 1.00

00:45:20.420 We know that there's certain kinds of germs and certain kinds of viruses that we do not want cultivated because they will hurt human culture.

00:45:31.760 We have understood that now.

00:45:34.860 We need to start applying that to these AI and these technology-type discussions because they could have similar implications.

00:45:43.220 It might be drawn out over 10 or 20 years.

00:45:46.460 And I have a hard time saying this as somebody that considers themselves right of center, that we need to start thinking about these things because it goes against my capitalist kind of base.

00:45:58.360 But that said, there's real consequences here that I think that as anybody that comes from a right of center thought process, we really need to start opening up our mind and changing our mind on this and really start thinking about it more.

00:46:12.560 Patrick Karelchi, he is the host of Red Pilled America.

00:46:15.600 He's got a three-part series out now.

00:46:17.480 You can find it on iHeartRadio.

00:46:19.860 This three-part series, American Icon, manufacturing coming back to the United States.

00:46:26.400 Patrick, thank you so much.

00:46:27.420 Hi, it's Glenn.

00:46:39.060 Thanks.

00:46:39.920 When a woman gets pregnant, that is not a human being inside of her. 1.00

00:46:45.000 It's part of her body.

00:46:46.260 And this is about a woman having full agency and control of her body and making decisions about her body and what is part of her body with medical professionals.

00:46:58.300 Those are the facts.

00:46:59.420 And that is the law of the land.

00:47:01.240 And they can do whatever they want for that.

00:47:03.260 This is about a woman's body. 1.00

00:47:05.100 So they can name the baby.

00:47:06.160 Listen, you can argue that.

00:47:06.700 They can do whatever they want.

00:47:07.760 They can torture the baby. 1.00

00:47:08.660 The debate is fine.

00:47:10.980 You're so desperate here.

00:47:12.780 You're so desperate here.

00:47:14.000 No, no, no.

00:47:14.220 Listen.

00:47:14.380 You're bringing up fake stories.

00:47:15.500 I'm just asking questions.

00:47:16.760 No, you're not.

00:47:17.420 You're not.

00:47:18.000 You're asking provocative things that are trying to make people angry about what's done.

00:47:21.600 And that's okay.

00:47:22.660 All I'm saying is you guys go too far when you pervert the facts.

00:47:25.880 We have the president of the United States saying that a baby is born at the end of full term, swaddled in a blanket, and then to decide whether or not to execute it.

00:47:34.800 You know that's BS.

00:47:36.220 It divides people.

00:47:37.780 Nobody said it.

00:47:38.860 It's not the law.

00:47:39.580 The governor of Virginia said it. 0.99

00:47:41.800 One person said something stupid, and you want to make it something that you can use for advantage. 1.00

00:47:46.700 That doesn't help your cause. 1.00

00:47:47.860 Talk to the survivors of abortions.

00:47:49.540 And it's certainly not square with your religion.

00:47:53.260 There's lots of instances, Chris.

00:47:54.040 I'll tell you that.

00:47:54.540 Go ask a priest if he's okay with you arguing the case that way and see how he feels.

00:47:58.500 Oh, yeah.

00:47:59.280 I love that.

00:48:00.260 If you get to the right place by lying and distorting the facts, no priest is going to like that.

00:48:04.960 No priest is going to condone lying.

00:48:07.000 What did I lie about in the way I presented my case?

00:48:08.940 You tell me what state allows you to swaddle a full term baby and then have a side conversation about whether or not to kill it. 0.87

00:48:15.500 Look.

00:48:16.340 The conversation was Virginia.

00:48:18.220 Say none.

00:48:18.840 Say none.

00:48:19.800 No. 0.98

00:48:20.260 The state of New York allows a baby to be killed. 1.00

00:48:24.360 Allows a baby to be killed. 0.98

00:48:25.720 A full term baby to be born. 0.99

00:48:28.360 That is a love.

00:48:28.380 Up until the moment that baby is born.

00:48:30.280 I can't take it.

00:48:31.040 I can't take it.

00:48:31.580 I mean, look. 0.99

00:48:32.420 This is so ridiculous. 0.99

00:48:34.400 This is the Virginia governor. 0.99

00:48:36.940 That is clearly what he said.

00:48:40.460 New York.

00:48:41.280 No, no. 1.00

00:48:41.560 He was just one guy who said something stupid. 1.00

00:48:43.320 Even though we had the representative who was talking specifically about this law. 1.00

00:48:49.920 This is what started.

00:48:50.620 This was before Virginia was in another state.

00:48:52.900 Was it Vermont?

00:48:53.440 When she was presenting this in front of, you know, the assembly and saying, asked specifically those questions and said, yes, it would be legal under my bill.

00:49:05.340 But, by the way, I just want you to know, if it's so outrageous, then why wouldn't any Democrat vote for the born alive bill?

00:49:14.520 Let's just clear it up.

00:49:15.540 Yeah.

00:49:15.820 Can't happen.

00:49:16.640 There you go.

00:49:16.960 Can't happen.

00:49:17.440 Can't happen.

00:49:17.740 Yeah.

00:49:17.840 So, and to flip this around to a moral case, ask a priest if you would be happy.

00:49:25.960 Ask a priest about the abortion position and your position on it, Chris.

00:49:29.260 I'm thinking you're going to like the, you should do that.

00:49:31.020 You should go in there and ask them about that.

00:49:32.920 Ask the Catholic Church what they think about abortion.

00:49:36.420 You go do that, Chris.

00:49:37.640 Maybe you learn something.

00:49:38.960 Maybe we learn something.

00:49:39.740 The idea of abortion a minute before birth is totally fine. 1.00

00:49:45.040 That's what they were arguing.

00:49:46.220 How dare you say we could swaddle it?

00:49:48.480 Well, okay.

00:49:49.240 All right.

00:49:49.660 So, no.

00:49:50.560 Can't swaddle it.

00:49:51.460 Let's just say that.

00:49:52.200 All right.

00:49:52.640 I'm with you on that.

00:49:53.600 Can't swaddle it. 0.99

00:49:54.880 Can you kill it a minute before you swaddle it? 0.98

00:49:59.760 Is that still not a baby then? 1.00

00:50:01.860 Right.

00:50:02.540 And Santorum's point is really interesting there.

00:50:05.900 Because let's just say we have a weird society, right?

00:50:08.940 We have people who can do plastic surgery to make themselves look like cats.

00:50:12.840 Yes.

00:50:13.100 Right?

00:50:13.240 We have people who...

00:50:15.240 You can pierce everything of your body.

00:50:17.300 Everything of your body.

00:50:17.580 I've seen people with piercings that are disturbing.

00:50:21.940 Disturbing.

00:50:22.580 Disturbing.

00:50:23.120 But that's their choice and they get to do that.

00:50:25.720 There are people who are known as cutters who actually physically harm themselves and cut

00:50:30.080 themselves.

00:50:30.640 And we obviously think that's a real problem.

00:50:33.120 But, you know, that's not...

00:50:34.140 It's their body.

00:50:35.060 It's their body.

00:50:35.480 Should they have a right to do that?

00:50:36.560 And obviously, that's a real thing in our society, though it is an outlier, admittedly.

00:50:41.520 Let's just say we had an individual who decided, you know what is cool to me?

00:50:47.640 I've got a baby growing in me.

00:50:49.300 I'm going to go in there and every day chop off an inch.

00:50:52.140 Just chop off an inch and see what happens.

00:50:53.620 I think it turns me on.

00:50:55.420 Let's say this person says.

00:50:56.820 For whatever reason, you'd say, well, that's crazy.

00:50:59.080 No one would do that.

00:50:59.700 I can't imagine someone wanting to do it, but I can't imagine trying to look like a 1.00

00:51:03.080 cat through plastic surgery either.

00:51:04.280 Yeah, I can't imagine having somebody put plastic, through plastic surgery, horns on

00:51:09.080 my forehead.

00:51:10.120 And they do it.

00:51:11.140 Different strokes for different folks.

00:51:13.360 Yeah, it's their body.

00:51:14.360 They can do whatever they want.

00:51:15.280 So let's just say someone got excited about torturing this thing that's not a human baby

00:51:20.880 in their belly a month before it was about to be born.

00:51:23.380 Not torturing it, just cutting it off.

00:51:25.660 Whatever. 0.97

00:51:26.140 Whatever it is.

00:51:27.460 It doesn't matter what it is.

00:51:28.440 They could torture themselves and no one would complain.

00:51:30.940 No one would complain if they, we have, you know, if someone's sadomasochistic and they're 0.80

00:51:36.460 going on frigging Craigslist and inviting people over and paying them to do these things

00:51:40.140 to them.

00:51:40.620 So let's just say they did the same things.

00:51:42.720 We do surgery on babies in the womb. 0.56

00:51:45.200 Someone decides to open up a service where they're going to do this.

00:51:47.960 Is it unlikely?

00:51:48.960 Sure.

00:51:49.280 But let's just say, would it be legal under your idea that that's not a human baby?

00:51:53.760 Could you do that?

00:51:54.540 You couldn't do it to a dog.

00:51:56.060 You couldn't do it to a cat.

00:51:57.280 You couldn't do it to even a cow.

00:51:59.320 You couldn't do it to any animal species, but you could do it to that baby in the belly.

00:52:04.560 Well, because if you believe that the baby is not a baby, then you have to allow that

00:52:11.080 because it's whatever the mother wants to do with her body. 1.00

00:52:13.780 Whether that's pierce herself, make herself look like a cat or cut an inch off her baby 1.00

00:52:19.160 every day just because that's what she wants to do. 0.91

00:52:21.740 That's not a baby.

00:52:22.900 So to be consistent, you would have to say, yeah, it's perfectly legal.

00:52:27.420 Here's the problem.

00:52:28.780 No one would allow that to be legal.

00:52:31.980 Right.

00:52:32.520 Why?

00:52:33.740 Why?

00:52:34.940 There's no...

00:52:35.560 The morally consistent view here, of course, is the absolute nine-month thing, right?

00:52:41.740 Let them up to the last second.

00:52:43.060 Why are you stopping in the middle?

00:52:44.360 If it's a baby at any point, if you're ever admitting it's a baby, then of course you're

00:52:48.360 not going to be able to kill it. 0.95

00:52:49.340 That's morally reprehensible.

00:52:50.080 The idea that Chris Cuomo is taking this moral stance, oh, how dare you say we could swaddle 0.99

00:52:56.020 a baby and then kill it? 0.98

00:52:57.760 Well, one minute before birth. 1.00

00:53:00.980 You're fine.

00:53:01.280 So a six-minute difference, let's just say it takes six minutes to swaddle.

00:53:06.140 There's a process there.

00:53:06.840 The first time you do it as a dad, it's really hard to do.

00:53:09.140 So a six-minute difference, 10-minute difference, 20-minute difference, an hour difference. 0.94

00:53:14.800 You can kill it. 0.97

00:53:15.820 It's absolutely fine. 1.00

00:53:18.160 Or it's murder.

00:53:19.560 And how dare you even suggest that?

00:53:22.260 Gosh, that is an...

00:53:23.220 It makes no sense.

00:53:24.360 An unbelievable segment.

00:53:26.100 This is why Joe Biden, I think, is doing well in the polls.

00:53:30.460 And if he runs to the left, he's going to have real problems.

00:53:35.040 You're going to lose that.

00:53:35.760 Because everybody, if you look at everybody who's running, Bernie Sanders, I mean, the 0.98

00:53:40.980 guy's nuts. 0.98

00:53:41.900 Okay. 0.92

00:53:42.380 If you're somebody who says, look, I don't want to burn the whole thing down.

00:53:45.820 I just, you know, I think we can do a better job, you know, and I like the Constitution

00:53:49.880 and free market works for me.

00:53:51.520 You don't want Bernie Sanders.

00:53:53.140 Kamala Harris, you don't know really who she is.

00:53:56.100 She said some crazy things, but she's kind of likable.

00:53:59.140 But I don't know.

00:54:00.580 Amy Klobuchar, Cory Booker, Elizabeth Warren, Bob Frank O'Rourke.

00:54:07.940 Okay.

00:54:09.940 You're looking at people who have said crazy, crazy things.

00:54:15.260 Crazy things.

00:54:16.200 And saying things on the level of when you're pregnant, it's not a human baby.

00:54:20.540 That's such a crazy position that no one actually believes.

00:54:24.000 Because the argument is not really, is it life?

00:54:26.220 We talk about, is it life?

00:54:27.380 Of course it's life.

00:54:28.380 The question is, does that life have any rights?

00:54:30.360 That's what the question is.

00:54:31.580 Does that life have any rights?

00:54:35.460 Do we treat that like it's a slave?

00:54:38.140 Like it's property?

00:54:39.420 Like it's some other thing that we can do whatever we want to for our own pleasure?

00:54:43.260 Is that what we do?

00:54:44.220 And if we do that, that's a decision that people back in the days of slavery made.

00:54:49.200 They liked that argument.

00:54:50.880 They thought it was a great thing.

00:54:51.600 That's just property.

00:54:52.420 Don't worry about what you do to that thing.

00:54:54.360 Well, you know what?

00:54:54.980 It's not just a thing.

00:54:55.860 It should have rights.

00:54:57.320 And that's the argument here.

00:54:58.800 It's not about whether it's life.

00:55:00.420 Everyone on earth knows it is life.

00:55:03.420 Everyone on earth knows it with certainty.

00:55:05.980 The question is, do you give any respect or any rights to it?

00:55:09.180 Do you treat it like it's a human being?

00:55:10.940 And the question is, they're saying, no, it's just property.

00:55:13.000 It's just this thing you can fiddle with however you will.

00:55:15.440 They've gone.

00:55:16.700 They've jumped the shark.

00:55:19.080 They've gone to the absurd.

00:55:21.400 They've gone to things that, look, when you were arguing abortion and you would say,

00:55:25.480 look, you don't want your daughter to face this kind of decision.

00:55:28.520 What happens?

00:55:29.380 Then you have sympathy on your side.

00:55:33.340 It was a smarter argument by them, although I don't like it, but it was a smarter argument.

00:55:38.000 It was more effective.

00:55:38.640 Right, because it was reasonable.

00:55:40.980 It put people in this conundrum that they don't want to think about it.

00:55:45.440 Right.

00:55:45.860 Okay. 0.89

00:55:46.360 People will think about killing a baby a minute before they're born and they'll make a decision.

00:55:52.760 There's no reason for that.

00:55:54.040 There's no reason for that.
