Welcome to the podcast. I want to tell you about something special we're doing this weekend. If
00:00:03.140
you're a member of Blaze TV or if you listen to Blaze Radio Network, you're going to be hearing
00:00:06.940
a marathon of Doc Thompson shows, The Morning Blaze. As you may have heard, Doc passed away
00:00:12.120
this week, tragically, and there's a fundraiser going on for his family. He has three kids
00:00:17.500
and a wife and, you know, obviously everything's in turmoil. So a lot of people were thinking
00:00:24.440
about all the good times with Doc and all the great shows he did. And so we're going to be
00:00:28.400
running a bunch of those this weekend and encouraging you to support him at his GoFundMe.
00:00:34.380
You can get there easily. Go to help.thompson.com and we really encourage you to do that if you
00:00:39.640
have the ability. If not, just listen and remember Doc Thompson this weekend. So this show today
00:00:48.360
was an interesting one. We started with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her wonderful New Green Deal,
00:00:54.600
which is really just an embarrassment. It is an embarrassment of riches for any conservative
00:01:00.420
talk show host. And we go through some of that today. She's kind of a gift to us, to anyone who
00:01:06.180
cares about the Constitution. She really illustrates the idiocy of socialism so, so well. Let me get
00:01:13.680
into the details there. You know, John Roberts with another terrible ruling in the Supreme Court. He's
00:01:18.460
been an incredible disappointment. We go through that and his role in the Louisiana abortion law
00:01:23.760
being overturned. Then we have Bill O'Reilly for a whole hour. This is a normal slot on Fridays in
00:01:29.920
hour two. He goes through a new book. He's writing about Donald Trump, which is going to be very
00:01:36.320
interesting. He interviewed Donald Trump for an hour just last week. So he has some insight there.
00:01:41.180
It goes into Nancy Pelosi and the Jeff Bezos story as well. And John Miller, who starts a new
00:01:48.020
podcast up. You should listen to that. It's called White House Brief with John Miller. It starts this
00:01:51.600
week. He's on Blaze TV as well. And he talks about the State of the Union and all the stuff going on
00:01:57.520
in the White House. And Dr. Gad Saad as well from Canada, a really smart guy. He's in town doing a
00:02:03.920
future podcast. So there's lots of really good material coming your way. And it all starts with today's
00:02:08.280
podcast. I think what the Democrats are doing now may have a may have a reverse effect on all of us.
00:02:32.620
It may actually take people who have taken years off their life may get them back. I it's like
00:02:39.660
Benjamin Buttons. I may be younger at the end of this story. It's become a South Park parody.
00:02:50.080
Alexandria occasional cortex has has just made things fun. Here it is. She is finally unveiled
00:03:00.820
to the world to the world via NPR, of course, the contents of her new Green Deal. I love this.
00:03:10.420
Now, all the front runners, the Democrats who will run for president, whether they've read it or not,
00:03:16.240
have already endorsed this. Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker, all of them. So now what's in it?
00:03:26.120
Well, I just want to give you some of the highlights. The Green New Deal proposes the following will be
00:03:34.800
completed in the next 10 years. Are you ready? Let's do you. I'm very excited to hear. I'm sure it's
00:03:43.680
all going to be very plausible. No, no, it's not only plausible. It's the moral thing to do.
00:03:49.960
Oh, good. Okay. A ban. Now in the next 10 years, a ban on 99% of the cars currently on the road.
00:03:59.860
Now, you think what? No, this is no biggie. There are only an estimated 270 million registered cars
00:04:06.560
out there. And I am sure that all 350 million Americans, you know, live in a place like Manhattan
00:04:13.220
where a car really isn't needed. So you just get rid of your car unless you're in that 1%. Now,
00:04:19.700
I don't know who that 1% is, but we know they won't be wealthy because we hate the richest 1%,
00:04:26.940
but we will not hate the 1% that is allowed to have their cars and ours are taken from us. Okay.
00:04:35.560
Okay. So she not only wants to ban all cars, she also, not all, I don't want to be hyperbolic on
00:04:43.780
this. I apologize to Mrs. Cortez. Uh, this is not all cars. It's only 99% of all cars. She also wants
00:04:53.980
to ban all oil, all natural gas, and all nuclear power. Now that's only about 80 to 90% of all the
00:05:07.300
power that, uh, you know, the country uses, but she doesn't ban coal, which is weird because coal is the
00:05:18.380
dirtiest of all of them. Nuclear energy is the cleanest and the next cleanest is natural gas, but
00:05:24.940
oil gone, natural gas gone, nuclear power gone in the next 10 years. How are we going to replace it?
00:05:35.660
Don't ask that question. She's doing moral work. Okay. Don't ask that. Don't ask that question.
00:05:42.700
Now she, she also has proposed in her new green deal. Now it doesn't sound extreme yet. Does it
00:05:50.480
sound silly? It just seems really rational, uh, based in completely, uh, pragmatic, uh, ways. I
00:05:58.200
mean, this is a, this is, this is simple, I think so far. So if you want to save the planet, yeah, of
00:06:02.900
course you're going to ban oil, natural gas, nuclear power. I mean, that's a no brainer. One, two, and
00:06:07.660
three. Right. Okay. You're going to ban all cars, right? Well, no, 99% of cars. Exactly.
00:06:12.700
Right. Thank you. No, she has gone the extra. Now this is because she's a thinker. All right.
00:06:19.060
Remember that she said just the other day that Donald Trump was, that was an incoherent speech
00:06:25.400
and it was like he never even thought about it or did his homework. That is what she said. Yes.
00:06:32.400
She's done her homework. She also wants every building in America to be gutted and rebuilt
00:06:41.400
so that it can be outfitted with energy efficient materials. Now notice that she uses the word
00:06:48.240
every right before building in America, every building in America. So in the next 10 years
00:06:59.100
without cars and without energy, we're going to gut every building in America and rebuild it
00:07:10.140
with energy efficient materials. Now, if you were to do this, of course, and you were to complete
00:07:18.220
this task, all of the materials you use would be completely outdated. Does she, is she aware
00:07:23.960
of that? They would no longer be the top of the line efficient. Oh yeah. Yeah, they would.
00:07:28.660
No, you don't have any energy. You're not innovating anymore. So these will be, okay. So this is,
00:07:35.280
you can't make them anymore, but you're certainly not updating anything. Okay. Now she's got rid
00:07:43.660
of the cars. We've, we've rebuilt every building in America in the next 10 years. Uh, she has a band,
00:07:52.400
all oil, natural gas, nuclear power. Um, and she says it doesn't go far and it doesn't go far
00:07:59.360
enough. We also need to ban all air travel, all air travel. Just, just ban the, shut down the
00:08:08.560
industry or just ban the planes. Don't know more planes. Is this a joke? No, it is not. Oh my gosh.
00:08:16.960
You are so immoral. You are so immoral for not. Are you thinking, how do we do this? This isn't
00:08:24.640
possible. No one will do this. You know, there's a difference between being right and being moral
00:08:29.760
Stu. There sure, there sure is as she's, uh, as she's explaining here, but I don't, not only do I
00:08:34.300
not think it's possible to do these things, I don't want to do these things. I don't think anyone
00:08:38.380
would want you tell the American people, we're going to take your car. Now, remember this Kamala Harris
00:08:43.900
has endorsed this plan. Elizabeth Warren has endorsed this plan. Cory Booker has endorsed this
00:08:49.840
plan. All of them endorse this plan. Get rid of all cars, get rid of natural gas, oil, nuclear power,
00:08:58.500
gut every single building in America and rebuild it and ban all air travel. Now, sure, we're going to
00:09:06.960
miss our plane rides, but have no fear. She has a solution for that. We're going to ban all air
00:09:13.820
travel because we're going to, uh, have a massive amount of high speed rail and that will fulfill
00:09:24.620
all of your travel needs. How are you getting from the train station to the, to the house?
00:09:29.500
If there's no cars, stop asking these immoral questions. You're right. I'm sorry. Okay. I'm sorry.
00:09:35.600
Now I thought before when I was living in sin and I wasn't so moral, I thought how that's going to
00:09:43.820
suck for tourism in Hawaii or, you know, going to London or Europe. It's going to be a long ride
00:09:50.880
and a wet ride and a very wet ride, but it's on high speed train, uh, high speed train. So it probably
00:09:57.520
can go underneath the ocean and get there so fast. The train doesn't have time to, you know,
00:10:02.780
trap people in a, in a tube of water. Oh, okay. That's the plan. It'll be that high. I don't
00:10:07.720
know, but why do we, why do they always, they're so in love with 1900s technology. Like, Hey, you
00:10:15.400
know what we want to do is put it, we want trains, we want trains to go to the places, essential, uh,
00:10:20.940
areas where the people may or may not live. Is there anything that makes you more happy than this
00:10:26.460
sound? Yes. I mean, it really kind of makes it feel like old timey and kind of cool, you
00:10:37.540
know? Oh, it'd be great. Okay. So ban all air travel as well, but this is the thing because
00:10:48.580
we're doing all this, the government can guarantee jobs for life. Also a free house, free education
00:10:59.940
for life, guaranteed income. And, and I'm quoting whether the person will work or not. Oh, and free
00:11:09.160
healthy food for every American. This is fent. This is fantastic. I love that too. That's all in a
00:11:15.700
section entitled build on FDR second bill of rights by guaranteeing. And then she lists all
00:11:21.080
these things, including, uh, a job with a family sustaining wage, family and medical leave vacations
00:11:27.000
and retirement security. Um, but remember we didn't pass FDR second bill of rights. So this is on top
00:11:34.280
of that. Yeah. Uh, the second bill of rights was to reverse the constitution to an, uh, uh, uh,
00:11:41.980
charter of negative liberties to a charter of positive literature liberties, the things that
00:11:46.600
the government must do for all of, uh, all of humanity, not the things that the government must
00:11:52.320
never do. And by doing a second bill of rights, we follow the Soviet constitution, which by the way,
00:11:58.860
the Soviet constitution was, was changed. I don't know how many times, uh, over and over and over again,
00:12:04.560
because it doesn't work. Now she admits that this isn't a perfect plan. She said, we're not going
00:12:11.540
to get to zero emissions. And I want to pause for a minute because the healing factor is about
00:12:20.120
to be sprung loose and you're going to feel so much better because she's really thought this one
00:12:26.920
through. She says, we can't do it without this. What is that? The best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:12:41.540
Wait a minute. This can't be right. John Roberts, John Roberts voted against the conservatives on
00:12:53.640
abortion. I, Oh, what? It is impossible to overstate how worthless John Roberts is. It's
00:13:01.260
impossible. You can't overstate it. You cannot overstate it. He is no, Stu worthless. No, no,
00:13:06.880
no. He's working on a longterm plan. Oh, that's what we always get told every time Roberts would
00:13:12.060
come out and he has the wrong ruling on something. It's always, he's actually working on a longterm
00:13:15.780
plan. It's going to be even better. We really have a problem with the press to the way they
00:13:19.520
report this, that he sided with the liberal side of the court. No. Why don't you say that about Ruth
00:13:27.160
Bader Ginsburg? Ruth Bader Ginsburg sided with the liberal side of the court. He's just on the liberal
00:13:31.940
side of the court. That's it. He's just on that side. That's what he is. This idea, all the crap
00:13:38.640
that came up with, with Kavanaugh, like they're going to overturn Roe versus Wade. They'd be lucky
00:13:42.880
if they're within three justices of overturning Roe versus Wade. This law in Louisiana is completely
00:13:49.220
consistent with Roe versus Wade. It fits absolutely in the middle of the structure that was set up
00:13:54.840
by Roe versus Wade and they still overturned it. It's absolutely, if you are a liberal and
00:14:02.680
you are concerned about Roe versus Wade going away, there are 179 million other things you
00:14:09.060
should worry about first. They can't even get a basic restriction pass to get, to make it
00:14:14.460
safer for women to have abortions. They can't even get that done. I mean, he is a disgrace,
00:14:20.900
man. What a disappointment. John Roberts sucks. John Roberts, that's my professional
00:14:27.460
legal opinion. John Roberts was appointed by a bush. Yep. Now again, Alito has been pretty good
00:14:32.940
and he was right on this. Kavanaugh, by the way, on the right side of this one, as well as Gorsuch
00:14:36.340
and of course, Clarence Thomas. He'll change. Give him five years and he'll be. And Kavanaugh's
00:14:41.760
already one for two here on this, so he can't get too excited about Kavanaugh. Gorsuch may actually
00:14:47.220
be a real deal. Kavanaugh's not. Kavanaugh's not. If Donald Trump gets another chance, we must not
00:14:54.900
allow him to deviate from that original list. Which Kavanaugh was a deviation. Yes, he was.
00:14:59.700
Not on the original list, to remind everybody. He was. Now, Kavanaugh may, you know, it's too early
00:15:03.600
to judge Kavanaugh. We don't know. It's not too early to judge Roberts. Both Alito and Clarence Thomas
00:15:09.280
are very strong and Gorsuch looks to be very strong, though it's still probably too early to even
00:15:14.680
judge Gorsuch, honestly, at this point. But he's been, I've seen no signs of worry with Gorsuch
00:15:19.500
yet. But this is like, so, you know, Roe versus Wade goes through. And in there, they say, first
00:15:26.220
of all, it's first-term abortions. That is, you know what, you can't really restrict that.
00:15:31.600
The states can't restrict first-term abortions. After the first term, they can start restricting
00:15:35.900
it with health of a mother type stuff. And then after viability, which is, you know, basically
00:15:40.600
their alignment was the third term of that, which is, of course, not even true anymore
00:15:45.580
because now viability is much earlier than 28 or 24 weeks, which they said at the time.
00:15:50.940
But that was, they said you could ban it after that period. The funny thing about it, though,
00:15:57.420
when you read Roe versus Wade, what it says is the reason why you can have abortions and
00:16:03.600
not restrict them in the first trimester is because it's healthier for the mom.
00:16:08.860
The idea that having an abortion is healthier than having a child, because you can die more
00:16:15.240
frequently from having a child than from having an abortion.
00:16:24.360
Also, by the way, it's, the entire thing is about health of a mother, right? Like, even
00:16:29.580
they, there's never been, I mean, at least in Roe versus Wade, there is no, hey, you can
00:16:35.280
have an abortion for any reason at any time. They say in the first trimester, you
00:16:38.840
can because the, this bizarre idea that no one has ever in an entire life of humanity
00:16:46.800
has ever done, which is, well, you know what? There's a 0.008% chance I'll die during child
00:16:52.840
birth. And there's a 0.001% chance I'll die during an abortion. So for that incredible
00:16:58.320
difference in health, I'm going to make the choice for the abortion. That literally never
00:17:03.620
occurs. Okay. Anymore. The progressives are so anti-progress. Always. They're anti-progress.
00:17:11.980
Look, you could have said that in the 1800s. Women did fear childbirth because you would
00:17:20.160
die. It was the second leading cause of death for women. The first being burning to death.
00:17:24.560
So the fun times. Oh yeah. Well, don't worry. They're going to come back. If Ocasio-Cortez,
00:17:31.140
you know, gets her way of banning oil, natural gas, and nuclear energy, we're all going to
00:17:38.020
be cooking on a fire. Anyway. So they did fear it back then, but you don't fear it in America
00:17:46.760
today. No, I mean, it's ridiculous. And plus, no one makes the decision that way. The other
00:17:53.500
part of this is they even talk about it in the ruling where if they know that line's going to
00:17:59.760
move, the viability line is going to move. It's now at what, 20 weeks? So we're already
00:18:05.300
in Roe versus Wade. They were talking about 28 weeks and 24 weeks. We're already at 20 weeks
00:18:11.020
when it comes to viability. And that's going to get younger and younger and younger. And by
00:18:15.020
the way, Roe versus Wade specifically says this includes artificial means. So it's not
00:18:21.260
just like the baby's born and will live on its own because it includes life-saving apparatus
00:18:26.520
by the medical community. You know, how close are we? I mean, we're already there.
00:18:30.780
We're so close. We're so close. Listen, here's the thing. I don't know how it's going to happen.
00:18:36.000
I really don't. But I am feeling strongly that there are several people all over the world
00:18:44.280
that have been put in position to do several things. And it's all going to start launching
00:18:50.000
soon. I really believe it. Last night, we saw the movie Unplanned. And I did not want
00:18:59.240
Well, I mean, you, you were interested, but, uh, no, I was really interested. It's, it's,
00:19:05.780
you know, one of these, you get a little bit of that, that face of what you're making right
00:19:10.080
now, which is the, Oh no, it's another Christian movie face, which is like understandable because
00:19:15.260
sometimes they suck really badly. Oh, not as bad as John Roberts, but they, they, they're,
00:19:20.240
So, and it's not that it's a Christian movie. It's that we're blowing our opportunity. We make
00:19:26.100
these movies and then we make them so preachy and so Christian-y that only Christians go and
00:19:30.840
you can't bring somebody who's not a Christian or, you know, not like, you know, going to church
00:19:36.260
three times a week. And so it just, it defeats the, the, uh, the goal of let's spread the word.
00:19:44.360
So I thought, Oh boy, this is bad. And, um, Steve Dace came in and he said, I've had that
00:19:51.320
feeling in the first five minutes of this movie. Um, but then it went away. So I looked at him five
00:19:57.280
minutes. I said, have we hit that part yet? And he said, you know, it's actually playing differently.
00:20:02.020
The second time I've seen it, he said, I don't feel this way. Now it did feel like a smaller
00:20:07.720
budget film at times, you know, cause you weren't working with the A-list actors and actresses,
00:20:14.220
but I thought the acting was really good. I thought the main, the woman who played Abby
00:20:18.200
Johnson is awesome. Yeah. Awesome. Halfway through that film, I was overwhelmed with a feeling
00:20:23.440
I might see in my lifetime, the end of abortion in America. I've never felt that way ever. Uh,
00:20:33.660
and I think that there are things that are going on right now and they are so overplaying their hand
00:20:41.180
on everything. I want to get rid of airplanes and 99% of all cars. That's insanity, insanity.
00:20:51.900
And only the insane will go down that road there. They are revealing themselves for who they truly
00:20:58.260
are because they are arrogant and naive and, uh, they think everybody is with them and they've never
00:21:05.900
gotten out of their New York district. They don't know who Americans are. They know their cult of
00:21:13.000
America, but nobody's going to do that. And I think they're overplaying their hands with abortions so
00:21:18.720
far. And when you see this movie, you will, they're, they're saying they're playing it for teenage test
00:21:24.840
audiences. And they said, teenage girls are, are becoming militant anti-abortion. They said,
00:21:33.000
even teenage boys are reacting to this going, that is wrong. When you see it, you've never seen
00:21:40.900
anything like it. And the power of this story is it's not a Hollywood script. It's true. Every word
00:21:47.380
in it, when they're having the dialogue with the Planned Parenthood people is an exact quote.
00:21:53.880
Everything that you see happen is exactly what actually happens and happened to this woman,
00:21:59.580
Abby Johnson. And she's, Abby Johnson's amazing. We've had her on the show before. Um, it's, it's
00:22:04.000
funny because you said this kind of a little bit after the movie and you described this feeling of
00:22:08.060
like, wow, maybe abortion's going away. And then that night, John Roberts is siding with the liberal
00:22:12.800
side of the court to shoot down a Louisiana law that is absolutely consistent with Roe versus Wade.
00:22:18.880
At this point, we are at a point in America where if we, if we, everyone's like, oh, don't overturn Roe
00:22:24.220
versus Wade, a great improvement would be to be go, to go back to it. If we could just get this country
00:22:30.300
to go back to where Roe versus Wade was, which was first term abortions, basically, that's it.
00:22:35.740
Then states can restrict it based on health in the second trimester. That's exactly what the
00:22:41.200
Louisiana law does. It says, hey, we got to have admitting, you have to have a physician with admitting,
00:22:46.300
uh, admitting, uh, privileges at a local hospital. And they said that's too restrictive, even though
00:22:52.880
specifically carved out in the Roe versus Wade ruling, which was a terrible ruling, but is way
00:22:58.740
more conservative than what we have now. That has been, these rights have been expanded and expanded
00:23:03.460
and expanded and expanded. And the idea that going back to one of the worst legal rulings in American
00:23:10.400
history is an improvement. It puts me on the exact opposite side of the feeling I had right after the
00:23:15.760
movie, which was, hey, there's a lot of hope. I am impressed to tell you that everything we said,
00:23:21.460
and I, this is all slotting into place with me in an amazing way. Everything we told you we had to
00:23:30.440
do. We, we, it's now here. It's now here. Now is the time when I said, you're going to need your
00:23:37.760
credibility. Don't become extreme. Don't become combative. Don't lie. Don't spread fake things.
00:23:43.860
Make sure you do your homework. So you're not unwittingly doing that. You have to be credible
00:23:48.980
because the world is not going to know which direction and you're going to need to have that
00:23:54.320
credibility. Right now is the time. If you still have your credibility and if you don't work on
00:24:00.620
fixing it, because right now you can go peacefully to your, to your friends and family and say,
00:24:07.460
hey, I don't want to talk to you about politics. Let's just talk about the actual abortion bills.
00:24:13.380
And here they are. Here's what happened. Here's Roe versus Wade. Let me show you what is happening to
00:24:20.400
us. And we're now literally talking about killing children after birth. And I know that's not what
00:24:26.960
the leadership is saying, but that is what the leadership is actually putting into practice and
00:24:32.500
in law. And if you can have reasonable conversations with reasonable people on the democratic side,
00:24:40.200
but what's not going to work is bashing anymore and, and fighting over Trump. Don't do it. Let
00:24:49.080
Trump fight his own battle. He is fine. There's nobody better at fighting battles for Donald Trump
00:24:54.680
than Donald Trump. He doesn't need your help. He, he is fighting his battles, fight the things that
00:25:02.680
actually matter in the long run, because it's so polarized. Now the minute you bring up Trump,
00:25:09.860
it's over, it's over, it's over. You will not make any progress. So don't mention it. You can
00:25:15.500
fight for Donald Trump in other ways, et cetera, but don't mention it with your friends. In fact,
00:25:21.380
go the opposite direction and point out the things that you disagree with him on. Say, look,
00:25:26.720
you disagree with him on everything. I disagree with him on some of the things, but he's,
00:25:31.020
that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about returning to common principles that we don't
00:25:37.360
kill babies after birth. Well, we don't. And that's just a light. No, no, no. Wait, I, I, I, I want to
00:25:44.340
show you the actual law. I want to show you the actual lawmakers who are making this case on the
00:25:51.300
democratic side. They are doing things and lying to you because of a few radicals. I'm not against
00:25:58.540
Democrats. I'm against the democratic radicals who have hijacked your party. And there's a few of them.
00:26:05.420
And here's what they're saying and doing. One quick thing about Trump before we go. Yeah.
00:26:10.180
Uh, people say he has a big ego. Uh, he, at least he's not putting his ego ahead of the lives of
00:26:15.460
60 million children because that's what John Roberts is doing. He's putting his ego and his legacy
00:26:19.840
above the lives of 60 million people who should be alive and are not because of this. And he continues
00:26:27.260
to do this in big spots over and over again. He is worthless. Yes. And egos always lose in the end.
00:26:35.160
Yeah. Casio Cortez. She put this out and she, she obviously had sixth graders working on it with
00:26:41.960
her, but she's so self-surrounded by, by people who are like, Oh, this is great. Uh, she had the ego
00:26:49.620
to put it out on writing and even Nancy Pelosi is now running from it. Yeah. So it's, it was this
00:27:12.020
Hi, it's Glenn. If you're a subscriber to the podcast, can you do us a favor and rate us on

iTunes. Thanks. Another book from Bill O'Reilly. Now here's the good news. At least in this one,
00:27:30.400
he's not killing someone. Bill O'Reilly. How are you? What do you mean? The good news? What,
00:27:37.260
what does that mean? Well, I mean, they're, they're just killing books of 17 million copies in print.
00:27:43.500
Come on. And I remember you mocking me. Uh, all right. Bill O'Reilly. Yes. You were on an
00:27:51.700
airplane, but not just any airplane on Friday. No, last week I had to do the Beck program on
00:27:57.700
Thursday because Friday, um, I was fortunate enough and I, I really believe fortunate is the
00:28:05.600
best word to ride down, uh, Florida with the president of the United States on air Ford or air
00:28:12.120
force one. So I was looking around for Harrison Ford. He wasn't there and I was happy. So there's
00:28:17.860
not going to be any shootout on the plane. Did you see the pod that he can escape with? Yeah. Listen,
00:28:23.700
that thing, you can live in that thing. That's the biggest machine I've ever seen. Um, it's got,
00:28:30.720
all right, all right, all right, all right. Here's how crazy it is. Yes. It has M&Ms with
00:28:36.420
Trump's name on it. I believe that. I believe that. There you go. All right. So tell me about
00:28:42.500
the book that you're writing. Okay. It's a history book. Um, we're going to announce in a few weeks
00:28:49.120
the title. I have a title in mind, but you know, I'm giving my publisher a chance to come up with one
00:28:53.260
as well. Um, it's not a pro Trump book. It's not an anti Trump book. It's why he believes what he
00:29:02.460
believes. And it's a complicated, he's a complicated guy. I've known him more than 30 years. So I'm
00:29:09.300
probably the best guy to write the book because I'm not looking to hurt him and I'm not looking to
00:29:14.220
help him. Um, so I'm already writing it. Um, and it's, I think if you don't hate him, if you hate
00:29:24.100
him, you don't want to read this, but if you're curious about him and you like him or like him,
00:29:30.360
you're going to want to read it. It's going to be a big book, Bill. I think so. Yeah. You'll
00:29:36.180
finally be able to retire. Hard book to write. Um, I was writing it last night and banging my head
00:29:42.360
against the wall. Here's why it's hard. He doesn't want you to know about this stuff.
00:29:49.320
See, most people, they like talking about their childhood. I mean, I know you love talking about
00:29:54.320
your time in reform school and how, you know, you were incarcerated for most of your childhood.
00:30:01.600
Well, I was kept in an iron lung. He doesn't want that. And, and it was so hard to interview him
00:30:09.860
about it because we're sitting in the office. He's got a big office on the plane, but in front
00:30:15.740
of him is this giant TV screen. Does he just turn it off? No. Oh, he's Fox news is on the screen.
00:30:24.000
So his eyes keep darting, particularly when the chyron mentions his name onto the screen,
00:30:29.980
I've got to focus him back. So I'm trying to bring him back to the 1950s. Trump was born in 1946.
00:30:37.760
And, and to have him describe what his childhood was like, his father and mother, his four siblings,
00:30:44.860
uh, his neighborhood and how that all affected him. I mean, it was, uh, I mean, it's like the
00:30:52.220
dentist at one point, he didn't want to do this at all. He only did it because I'm so annoying and
00:30:58.620
he's known me for a long time. Okay. So he goes, he looks at me, he goes, where's Melania? Where's my
00:31:03.980
wife? Get her in here. So instantly Melania Trump appears in the office and he looks at, he goes,
00:31:11.660
he's torturing me. He's torturing me just like he did on television. Tell him to stop. And Melania is
00:31:19.540
like this frozen smile. Doesn't say a word. Doesn't say anything. Just looks at him, looks at me and
00:31:26.760
vanishes. Boom. She's got, and I go, can we just get this over with, you know, because he, that was
00:31:34.420
the last thing on earth he wanted to talk about. Yeah. Now I did get an hour of stuff and some of it
00:31:42.620
is fascinating, but the rest of it is our researchers. And, and did you know that he,
00:31:48.280
his, his father who he idolized, uh, pulled him out of the she, she school in Queens and sent him
00:31:55.460
to military school. All right. Um, do you know about his uncle? Are you going to include the stuff
00:32:01.740
on his uncle? His uncle was an MIT person. His uncle was an MIT guy. His uncle was the guy. And this
00:32:09.560
really comes from when, when Donald Trump says, you know, I come from the best stock and, you know,
00:32:15.820
I just brilliant family. It comes really from his uncle who is at MIT, but his uncle was selected by
00:32:22.120
the government when Nikolai Tesla died to go in and look at all of the papers, uh, of Nikolai Tesla,
00:32:30.540
Tesla, and which ones should be kept by the government and which ones shouldn't be kept. Uh, and they could
00:32:36.760
go to, uh, his, his home country. So he was the guy. The uncle didn't have any influence really on
00:32:42.620
Donald Trump. It was all a father and the father wasn't there very much. Um, but we get into it and
00:32:48.640
I'll just give the, your audience, uh, just how different this book's going to be. His father was
00:32:54.200
arrested at a Klan rally and nobody, and nobody knows any of this. And I asked him about it. I asked
00:33:01.500
Donald Trump about it. Uh, when his father was a young man, his grandfather, Trump's grandfather
00:33:07.340
went up to Alaska in the Klondike gold rush. Um, it, I mean, it's so much in there that nobody has
00:33:17.480
any blank and clue because the books that Trump wrote about himself were all about the real estate
00:33:24.420
business. You know, all of that, nothing about what he did as a kid and how it all, and his,
00:33:30.760
and his sister, of course, eight years old as a federal judge. So is it fascinating study? I think
00:33:37.080
at the time is right for a history book on the president of the United States. Um, let's knock
00:33:42.600
the myths out and get to the real person. All right. That's Bill O'Reilly. When's the book coming
00:33:46.460
out, Bill? Probably September. Okay. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:34:06.500
Blaze Whitehouse correspondence, uh, correspondent, John Miller. What is it like to sit in that room?
00:34:12.440
What is it that you see that nobody else sees, John? Uh, I think it is the disdain for, uh, the
00:34:21.080
average American to be quite honest. I think that you see the conversations you hear happen when people
00:34:26.280
think either you're not listening or people think that you're like-minded would genuinely shock, uh,
00:34:32.380
uh, Americans. I mean, everything from them saying that, you know, this administration just,
00:34:37.140
you know, was trying to keep the Brown people out of the country to, uh, the fact that the president
00:34:42.000
works a cult to, uh, I don't know if everyone remembers, but the president spoke to a room full
00:34:47.620
of, uh, of black students. It was, I think, 400 students and reporters from major outlets, not,
00:34:54.680
you know, crew, but actual reporters rolling their eyes saying, this is a waste of everyone's time.
00:34:59.640
The president speaking to one of the largest groups of black people to visit the white house,
00:35:03.180
uh, more so than Obama had people rolling their eyes saying, this is a waste of time. I can't believe
00:35:07.320
we had to sit through this. Can we just get through it? Um, I, it's incredible. They think
00:35:11.540
that everyone thinks exactly like them and therefore they are unfiltered in what they say.
00:35:15.040
And that is very revealing. I, you know, I, I felt the same way the, when, when watching the state of
00:35:21.260
the union, the arrogance of the left, they know they have cover from the mainstream media and they
00:35:27.560
get away with murder. I mean, they really do. The, the, the attitude in the state of the union,
00:35:33.780
the, the hissing that went on, the laughing that went on, they were taking selfies, uh, during the
00:35:40.100
state of the union. It was, it was so incredibly disrespectful to the process, to the country,
00:35:48.280
to the president. I was shocked by it. And, and I don't, you know, me, John, I don't think highly
00:35:54.960
of these people. Yeah. I mean, you, you say they were hissing. Like that's not, you're not
00:35:59.440
exaggerating. They were actually hissing during the speech. No, they were hissing twice. They hissed.
00:36:04.980
And, and it's, it was also incredible. I saw on Twitter and Jonah Goldberg, surprisingly saying
00:36:09.660
that he found it incredibly tawdry that people were chanting USA during the speech, which I mean,
00:36:15.320
that was one of the least offensive things I think during the speech that happened during the
00:36:18.220
audience. It's USA chanting. I thought it was interesting because USA, USA was about, you know,
00:36:23.200
job growth and, or no, no, no, it was about women, right? No, no, no. The first one, there was a first
00:36:28.460
one. And I think it was either about job growth or, uh, or the military and only the right, uh, said USA,
00:36:35.760
USA. Uh, then when they did women, the women, Ocasio-Cortez led the, everybody standing up USA,
00:36:45.180
USA, USA, that was about women, but both sides of the house were proud of, of that women were,
00:36:52.240
you know, at the highest work level that they've ever been. I think that's something that we could
00:36:57.420
debate whether our homes are, are any better because of it, whether our children are any
00:37:01.460
better because of it. Um, but, uh, everybody was shouting USA, USA, but when it came to something
00:37:07.400
that was a, a, uh, another real uniting concept, um, they didn't, they didn't, they didn't, they
00:37:14.660
didn't do that. They didn't, they didn't cheer. And it's incredible. Notice how they sat for abortion.
00:37:20.820
I mean, you know, it was right after, uh, women's accomplishments in the workplace. And then it
00:37:24.600
came to late term abortion and they sat. And I think it really just showed you the disparity
00:37:30.680
between, um, the representatives who really just reflect a fringe left group, maybe some special
00:37:37.880
interests and the American people. Cause you look at the numbers for people who want a late term
00:37:42.120
abortion ban, it's 80% of women. And the number of people who support abortion bans is actually
00:37:48.760
going up. So they're wildly out of step with the American people. Um, and it goes, the same thing
00:37:53.640
also goes for the, for immigration. I mean, you know, there was definitely divided down the middle
00:37:57.620
when it came to the president's remarks on immigration, but the American people are much
00:38:01.860
more unified on that matter. So it was interesting when the president said he wants to give a
00:38:05.860
unifying speech. I think he did that. I think the reason why it wasn't unifying was because,
00:38:10.200
uh, of the representatives who are representing, uh, uh, something that the vast majority of American
00:38:16.000
people don't believe in, i.e. socialism. So John, John, you were with me during the, uh, during the
00:38:21.700
whole time at Fox. Um, and you started with me, uh, I think shortly before that time, uh, and you were
00:38:28.040
going to Columbia university and you were a conservative and African American and, and tight
00:38:33.780
lipped. You didn't say anything. If I, if I recall, you didn't say anything until the very last
00:38:37.820
day. Um, and I advised you not to say anything. Um, but, uh, uh, you were with me at those times
00:38:46.760
and you know how radical they were, um, and, and how bad things, uh, got behind the scenes and the
00:38:54.420
things that they were willing to do and say, I think they're worse right now. I think this is
00:39:00.460
much worse. And that was bad. Yeah. I mean, that, that's, I would, I would dream to have those
00:39:07.100
days back because, you know, that they, they were, you know, they were just big government people.
00:39:12.200
Uh, and, and, you know, they believe that government was the solution to a lot of things. I mean,
00:39:16.720
now they're just bat crap crazy to the point where I'm wondering, is this an act? I mean,
00:39:20.900
you look at the, the green new deal that they're pushing, which I, you know, I'm sure you've
00:39:24.920
discussed. I mean that it's not, and these are people who, I mean, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,
00:39:29.660
uh, is not, you know, she went to Boston university. Apparently I, from what I've
00:39:33.800
heard, she did well there. Um, you know, she grew up in New York. So it's not like she's
00:39:38.220
out of touch with, uh, with everyday life. She has a degree in economics from BU.
00:39:44.600
So how could this, that's my question. She has to know that. I mean, they want to eliminate
00:39:50.100
planes. Uh, and I mean, this is someone who has to travel for a living. She's trying to get
00:39:54.120
rid of planes. It's, it's unrealistic. And anyone with a brain and common sense, uh, knows
00:39:58.980
this is not going to work. So I'm really at the point where I'm wondering, are they
00:40:01.620
just saying this stuff? Cause we're in the age of social media. You can say anything.
00:40:04.760
Um, and five presidential candidates are getting behind it. You can just say anything. It doesn't
00:40:08.680
matter if you get it done. You know, I'm worried that the president now is just saying, you
00:40:12.260
know, we're going to build this wall and, you know, and, and whether or not he's going
00:40:15.360
to get done is still up in the air. But I'm at the point where, are they just saying this
00:40:19.340
stuff because they know it will rile up the base? There's no way any of these are not,
00:40:23.660
uh, you know, complete idiots. I mean, someone would argue against me on that, but these are
00:40:28.960
people that have to understand that what they're proposing in this thing is completely outrageous.
00:40:33.120
I would, I would contend, John, that that's, that's not the case because they've never had
00:40:40.980
pushback. When you say a crazy idea and nobody pushes back your idea, you're like, okay, well,
00:40:48.440
everybody thinks that's good. You know, I also think in this and you get crazier and crazier
00:40:52.300
and everybody is, if no one is pushing back and you are getting to be a bigger, bigger
00:40:57.480
star, you start to believe that all of your ideas are great and you don't have to back
00:41:05.340
It's like a toddler with a, you know, a parent who spoiled, it spoils their kid and just
00:41:09.100
says, you know, Oh, everything you do is wonderful. Everything is great. And you know, that kid
00:41:12.520
turns out to be complete disaster because they've never been told that that's not a good idea
00:41:16.440
and you shouldn't do that. But I, it, it, it's gotten to the point now where we're not
00:41:20.740
talking about ideological differences. We're talking about sane versus completely outrageously
00:41:27.780
John Miller is on with us, host of the White House Brief on Blaze TV, also a podcast starting
00:41:32.080
here really soon. Was it a start today, John, or is it this week?
00:41:35.060
It started yesterday. What it is, is it is a podcast version of the White House Brief. So
00:41:40.700
we do, you know, five to 10 minute video every day. We're turning that into a podcast and we're
00:41:45.720
going to keep an extended portion on it. So, you know, I usually cover one topic in the
00:41:50.400
White House Brief. What we're going to do is then kind of develop the idea. So whether
00:41:54.100
it's go into a, whether it's go deeper into a subject or, you know, talk about some of
00:42:00.380
the other big stories that are important coming out of the White House each day, or sometimes
00:42:03.780
it might even be stuff that's not even White House related. There's so much crazy stuff in
00:42:09.100
the news right now. For instance, there, you know, that we, we were going to do some
00:42:12.880
interviews and actually, you know, I recently wrote a piece on how I think Black History
00:42:18.480
Month is completely useless at this point, needs to be eliminated.
00:42:23.680
Yes. Yeah. Just put that out there. But I mean, I think, I think another Blaze writer,
00:42:31.100
Aaron Colon, wrote an article, brilliant, and it's a great article, it's a great rebuttal to
00:42:35.720
my piece. He completely disagrees with me. I'd love to have him on to, to, to, to debate
00:42:40.620
that. I mean, I think we both raised legitimate points and, and, you know, that is absolutely
00:42:44.700
what we're trying to do here at, at Blaze TV is, is, you know, we're not Stalinists.
00:42:49.160
We can accept diversity of thought and we can hash out those ideas in a friendly, respectful
00:42:54.080
and fun way. And so I'd love to do some of that. And so on the podcast White House Brief,
00:42:58.700
we're going to be doing some more exploration and extending it a bit so that we can cover some
00:43:04.840
And John, because you're in the middle of DC, you're dealing with these people every
00:43:08.660
single day. Let me take your temperature on this idea. Ocasio-Cortez, she is, yes, she's
00:43:15.160
a socialist. And yes, she believes, I think most of the stuff that every Democrat believes,
00:43:20.960
but doesn't admit. But the thing with Ocasio-Cortez is she's not just a socialist, she's an embarrassing
00:43:26.380
socialist, right? Like she's constantly making these gaffes and making this ideology look
00:43:34.000
silly. And to me, I wonder how long is the leash here when they, at some point, I feel
00:43:41.100
like Democrats get so embarrassed by her, they put her, quote unquote, back in her place.
00:43:47.820
Stu, I think it's insane because you would think that as a rational thinking person, you
00:43:53.620
would think that, but that's not what we're seeing happening.
00:43:55.800
I mean, Glenn mentioned, I went to Columbia University. I have very many liberal friends
00:44:02.740
at Columbia University who are educated and have many, many degrees, some of them. And
00:44:10.160
they love her. They think she's the greatest. And I don't understand how someone who appears
00:44:16.060
not to understand basic economics, all the way down to how our government functions, to
00:44:21.460
the point where, you know, she can't name the three branches of government and thinks
00:44:25.700
that there are three chambers of Congress. I mean, there are gaps in her knowledge. And
00:44:32.480
she's not interested. She's not curious. And yet the left, educated people on the left
00:44:37.400
love her. And you see the politicians who you would think would kind of try to get her out
00:44:40.980
of the way and say, you know, this is kind of crazy. Let's kind of ignore her. They're
00:44:45.320
endorsing her proposals. Cory Booker's coming, endorsing her proposals. Kamala is too.
00:44:49.860
So, you know, you would think that at some point people would say she's embarrassing.
00:44:53.380
Let's get her out of the party. I will tell you, I hear in Washington, D.C., when you hear
00:44:57.680
people chattering and all the buzz, there are elements within the Democrat Party that are
00:45:03.640
very upset with her because she doesn't work with them and she doesn't work with the
00:45:07.400
establishment Democrats. And that is upsetting a lot of staffers on the Hill. So what they
00:45:11.560
are doing is now I hear whispers of people trying to orchestrate a way to get her and the
00:45:17.040
other radical Democrats who are kind of on her team out and they are trying to work and
00:45:21.000
find a way to to get them out of office. So I'd be very curious to see if her if her time
00:45:26.540
in Congress lasts long, because there are still very powerful elements of that caucus that are
00:45:31.440
I am thrilled to be able to sit down here in just a few minutes with Dr. Gadsad from Concordia
00:45:51.520
University. He's a professor of evolutionary behavioral science. He's got to spend some time
00:46:00.320
talking down because I, you know, I understand about a third of what he's saying, but he is
00:46:06.600
fascinating. We had dinner last night. I wanted to bring him in before we record the podcast
00:46:10.640
just for a few minutes to kind of introduce him to you in case you don't know who he is.
00:46:16.460
He's he's big online. Very, very funny on Twitter. Welcome. How are you?
00:46:21.700
Oh, so nice to be here. Thank you for having me.
00:46:23.220
So you are you study evolutionary psychology indeed. Okay. Uh, is that please excuse my
00:46:32.100
ignorance, but is that like why we become so tribal?
00:46:36.960
That would be one manifestation of our evolutionary imperatives. Okay. You know, social scientists
00:46:42.800
are perfectly happy to accept that our opposable thumbs arose out of evolution and that our liver
00:46:49.180
arose out of evolution, but they reject the idea that the thing that defines us, our personhood,
00:46:55.140
our minds are due to evolution. And so what evolutionary psychologists do is simply apply
00:47:00.000
the lens of evolutionary theory to explain our emotional system, our cognitive system,
00:47:06.000
why we think the way we do, why we act the way we do. And so it's simply applying the evolutionary
00:47:13.920
So we could either go to politics or consumerism. Sure. Uh, where, where do you want to start on?
00:47:23.460
We can do consumer behavior since that's the place where I've most applied. Okay. All right.
00:47:27.600
So I'll give you maybe just to make it very tangible, I'll give you a few examples of actual
00:47:31.180
studies that I've done and I'll just give the audience a clear sense of what I do. So I did a study
00:47:35.900
with one of my former, uh, graduate students where we looked at how the menstrual cycle affects
00:47:41.740
women's behaviors. So for example, how they dress. Can you even say this in today's world?
00:47:48.820
Well, you can't even say that there is such a thing as men or women. So I mean, I'm, I'm Satan.
00:47:53.400
Right. I know. I'm way beyond having violated every tenet. Right. Right. Um, and so what we basically
00:47:58.940
did is we tracked women's behaviors, preferences, desires over 35 contiguous days, 35 days because
00:48:07.280
the average menstrual cycle lasts for 28 days. And we showed that during the maximally fertile
00:48:12.660
phase of a woman's menstrual cycle, when she's actually in the ovulatory phase, this is when
00:48:17.020
she dresses most sexually. Now she doesn't do that consciously, but it turns out across many
00:48:22.260
animal species, there are very clear signs when females enter into estrus. Now in the case
00:48:27.660
of human females, they don't show you engorged genitalia. What they do is they simply beautify
00:48:32.920
themselves more. So that would be an example of applying a biological mechanism to human behavior.
00:48:38.040
In this case, women's clothing. Feminists must gone crazy on that. Oh, there's a very,
00:48:42.620
very long lineup of people who go crazy about this stuff. Right. And is that universal? I mean,
00:48:47.420
was it overwhelming that that was happening? Oh, absolutely. The effect is unbelievably strong
00:48:51.560
and it's been documented in, in many, many different ways. Um, with one of my other, uh, graduate
00:48:57.300
students, I looked at what happens to men's testosterone levels when they engage in conspicuous
00:49:03.920
consumption. So in the same way that the peacock shows off by demonstrating that he's got a big
00:49:09.120
tail, a, a, a, uh, with bright colors, he's saying, look, I'm here. Despite the fact that this tail
00:49:16.020
will increase the likelihood of my falling prey to a predator. I'm here. Choose me as a mate.
00:49:20.920
Well, a Ferrari is the human equivalent of a peacock tail. So tell me why Jeff Bezos would
00:49:28.040
take pictures of his junk and send it out. Have you heard this story? I have not. Okay. So Jeff
00:49:33.300
Bezos. I know of Andrew, Andy Wiener or Andrew? Anthony Wiener. No, no, no. Yeah. Okay. So you
00:49:37.500
know who Jeff Bezos is. Of course the Amazon guy. Right. Yeah. Okay. Richest man in the world. I didn't
00:49:42.580
know that. He was taking pictures of his junk. And sending it to? Of a girl that he wasn't married
00:49:49.100
to. And why would it, why would you do that? I mean, that's actually a great, a great question
00:49:55.180
because it demonstrates how men and women don't always know one another's psychology, right?
00:50:02.200
Because men are very much visually enticed, sexually aroused by visual stimuli. They erroneously think
00:50:09.740
that the same principle will apply to women, right? To the extent that you and I might find a, you know,
00:50:14.680
a woman with an hourglass figure is very intoxicating. So Jeff Bezos reasons, well,
00:50:19.720
she must be equally aroused by, you know, seeing my penis, my pants, whereas she's a lot more aroused
00:50:26.140
by what's in his bank account. Yeah. What's in his wallet. It is in your pants. It's just not in the
00:50:30.620
front. Exactly. Just not in the front. Yeah. So, um, I love this, uh, term that you coined
00:50:36.520
collective Munchausen. Yeah. You want me to tell you about that? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So that came,
00:50:41.080
actually, I, I'd written a paper in a medical journal back in 2010 on Munchausen syndrome by
00:50:46.800
proxy. Munchausen syndrome is a psychiatric disorder where someone feigns an injury or feigns
00:50:53.140
a medical condition to garner empathy and sympathy. Munchausen syndrome by proxy is where you take
00:50:58.380
someone who's under your care. Let's say your biological child, you harm them so that you can
00:51:03.220
garner that sympathy by proxy. And then I started seeing how people were engaging in sort of a
00:51:09.500
victimology hysteria. Um, is it safe for me to go to school because I'm a woman of color now that
00:51:15.100
Trump is, is president. And I thought that that was a perfect manifestation of this full victimhood,
00:51:21.640
this Munchausen syndrome applied collectively in a hysterical context. And hence I coined it
00:51:27.340
collective Munchausen. Uh, that had to be popular. How are you still teaching?
00:51:33.380
Uh, you know what? Uh, I often ask myself that question. That's why the politicians who argue
00:51:42.120
that we should get rid of tenure, I'm living proof that you should never do that because imagine what
00:51:47.720
would have happened to me if it were easy to simply send me an email and saying, you're saying
00:51:52.180
a lot of stuff that's pissing us off. You're out. They can't do that precisely because I'm protected
00:51:57.180
by tenure. So you were a guy, you and Jordan Peterson are friends and you were, you were doing
00:52:02.720
this long before, uh, Jordan Peterson and, and speaking out. And he actually called you at the
00:52:08.220
beginning and said, can you help me, dude? I, I, I, I'm, I'm entering into your waters here and I
00:52:14.920
don't, they're treacherous. So he, he, he contacted me because he had gotten into some hot waters with his,
00:52:19.380
uh, position on the gender pronoun issue. He felt that it wasn't appropriate for the government to
00:52:25.180
engage in compelled speech. I mean, sure he should, if he's a good person, he should address someone by
00:52:30.220
their preferred pronoun, but there shouldn't be the, the weight of the governmental laws saying
00:52:35.740
that you better do it. And because he took that position in a few, uh, YouTube videos that were
00:52:40.500
very popular and started getting a lot of flack, no academic would support him. So he reached out to
00:52:45.320
me and said, Hey, can we talk? He came on my show. We became friends and the rest is history.
00:52:49.380
So when, why is it that this is happening from so many Canadians where Americans are kind of asleep
00:52:56.720
at the switch? Yeah. I mean, the only thing I could think of is that Americans have the protection of
00:53:03.320
the first amendment. So maybe they're complacent thinking that it'll never go away. You'll always
00:53:08.680
be protected. Whereas maybe we have to be a bit more proactive and repeatedly protecting our freedom
00:53:13.800
of speech because we don't have regrettably your protections. It's amazing because those protections
00:53:18.720
don't seem to matter anymore. You know, people have to know them to be able to get them to be,
00:53:24.640
um, enforced and, and Canada, are you further down the road than we are or because it feels like we
00:53:33.880
are from a political correctness perspective and just crazy out of control. It's, it's outland. I mean,
00:53:40.740
it's especially due to the fact that we have, uh, the social justice warrior in chief, Justin Trudeau
00:53:46.700
as the head of our country. I mean, he epitomizes all of the, you know, parasitic, idiotic, moronic
00:53:53.220
ideas that I've been fighting against for, you know, 20 plus years, uh, because he is a product of
00:53:58.340
the educational system that brought these idiotic ideas, post-modernism, cultural relativism,
00:54:03.840
moral relativism, right? So everything that he does now is about gender equity, transgender equity,
00:54:09.120
and so on. Uh, and again, I'm a fervent believer that everybody should be free of bigotry,
00:54:14.080
but you don't dish out Nobel prizes based on whether you ovulate or not.
00:54:17.940
Right. Uh, right. So you got in trouble, um, uh, in the, uh, parliament because, yeah,
00:54:25.300
because you went and you had to testify that there is a difference between men and women,
00:54:30.140
right? Right. Yeah. So I, I actually was invited twice once to appear in front of the Canadian Senate.
00:54:34.580
And then I gave a lecture on parliament Hill in front of the Canadian Senate. I was trying to argue
00:54:38.900
that bill C-16, which is the bill that would incorporate gender identity and gender, uh,
00:54:44.880
gender expression under the hate, uh, you know, rubric. I argued, yes, of course we should protect
00:54:50.140
everyone's rights to live a dignified life, but there's a slippery slope here, right? It's very
00:54:55.620
easy for someone in my class who doesn't hear his or her personhood covered to say, Hey, Professor
00:55:02.000
Saad is being transphobic because he's only talking about sex differences in his classes. And so I tried
00:55:06.860
to warn them not so much that we shouldn't be trying to protect everybody, but that there are,
00:55:11.260
you know, ill consequences of some of the legislation that was coming. And I was accused
00:55:16.080
of being pro-genocide by one of the senators. Pro-genocide. Pro-genocide. Which you're a Jew
00:55:21.500
that grew up in Lebanon. That's right. So you're pretty clear on it. I'm pretty clear on the ugliness
00:55:25.920
of genocide. And actually that's, I, I did remind him of my personal history and that I think, uh,
00:55:31.860
had them second guessing his stupidity. Wow. Um, uh, we are entering a time where truth
00:55:39.960
doesn't seem to matter at all. And, and because of that, things like the term justice have been
00:55:49.460
turned into social justice. Uh, define the word justice. What is justice?
00:55:56.160
Well, it's certainly not what the social justice warriors think it is. To me, it's really the
00:56:01.040
protection of individual rights and individual dignity, right? I mean, everybody should be able
00:56:06.060
to pursue their lives free of bigotry, free of institutional, you know, hatred. Someone who grew
00:56:11.440
up in Lebanon as a Jew, I certainly know about that, but, uh, we shouldn't be forced to celebrate
00:56:16.720
your unique personhood, right? Uh, transgender people have every right to live dignified lives free
00:56:23.280
of bigotry, but I don't have to walk into class every, every Wednesday and, and pull everybody
00:56:30.380
about what their gender pronouns are that day. Because by the way, Harvard university has argued
00:56:35.640
that your gender identity could fluctuate on a daily basis. So Monday I'm male, Tuesday I'm female,
00:56:42.120
Wednesday I'm Xeer. I mean, right. So it's, it's, it's a level of insanity that could only be explained
00:56:47.500
as, as a parasitic worm that has entered people's brain and has removed their ability to think clearly.
00:56:52.540
Okay. So just, what are you on Wednesday again? Xeer. Xeer. Yeah. X-I-R. This is, I think a,
00:56:59.140
one of the pronouns where you're non-binary, neither male or female. See, I'm learning. We're
00:57:04.320
all learning here today. There you go. We're all learning. My feeling is, is it, am I wrong to
00:57:08.700
think that maybe some of this stuff hasn't hit Texas as hard as, uh, New York or? No, not as hard
00:57:14.640
as New York, but it is getting here. I mean, it's, it, Texas has, has changed, um, to the point
00:57:20.580
to where, I mean, when you think of Texan history, what do you think of? You're Canadian. What do you
00:57:26.040
think of Texan history? Independence. Yeah. Is there any event that comes to mind? No, no. You're
00:57:33.060
Canadian. Yeah. The Alamo. Okay. Sure. Okay. The Alamo. And that's all about really independence.
00:57:39.040
That was saving the Mexicans, trying to fight for the Mexicans to be independent of a tyrant.
00:57:47.500
Right. You can't even teach that now because it's oppressive. In Texas, you can't teach that.
00:57:53.680
That's nuts. That is absolutely nuts. We've just gone off the deep end. Um, I can't wait to talk to
00:58:01.000
you some more. Um, likewise. Uh, so thank you so much for being here. We're going to take on
00:58:04.320
everything, uh, religion and, and all of it, uh, in the podcast. Thank you so much. Cheers. Yep. God
