The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guests： Dr. Robert Epstein & Rep. Chris Stewart ｜ 10⧸7⧸19

00:00:00.200 Hey, podcasters. Welcome to Monday. Stu's with us, so it's going to be another iffy kind of show.

00:00:06.040 Yep. But we have we have Dr. Robert Epstein on again.

00:00:11.360 We have the review of the Joker. We also we also spend some time talking a little bit about what it's like to be throttled,

00:00:20.820 what it's like to be shadow banned as Twitter and Facebook and YouTube are now shadow banning.

00:00:28.800 And we have evidence that we get into right off the bat on today's podcast.

00:00:40.560 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:00:48.900 So we have some news about our special last week.

00:00:53.280 We want to thank you so much for being a Blaze subscriber.

00:00:57.940 I just got some data points last night.

00:01:02.360 It is it is now the most watched video on the Blaze platform that the Blaze has ever produced.

00:01:12.800 That's in nine years. This is the biggest video we have ever produced.

00:01:17.620 Most watched video we've ever produced.

00:01:20.140 That's saying something because it was a two hour special and just the chalkboard is 50 minutes long.

00:01:31.480 Now, here's where it gets weird.

00:01:33.700 If you go to YouTube or if you go and look for it online, it's not the biggest video we've produced.

00:01:47.700 Isn't that weird?

00:01:50.460 So inside the platform, it is gigantic.

00:01:55.480 It is the biggest thing we've ever done.

00:01:57.600 But if it's shared off of the Blaze platform, all of a sudden it's like, it's OK.

00:02:05.880 Now, it's still big, still has almost two million views now on all of the different platforms.

00:02:13.160 But.

00:02:14.700 Really?

00:02:16.500 Strange, right?

00:02:17.440 I mean, usually I mean, we've seen this a million times when we have something that hits with our audience here.

00:02:22.000 It tends to hit with the YouTube audience and with everybody, with everybody, with everybody.

00:02:27.500 Very, very standard procedure.

00:02:29.300 We're a media company.

00:02:29.900 We watch these things closely.

00:02:31.260 Uh huh.

00:02:31.800 Uh huh.

00:02:32.280 And so we've noticed that it's like somebody shifted us into first gear.

00:02:37.380 Now, it couldn't be Google and Facebook, could it?

00:02:42.420 Now we have something last night or yesterday, I guess, Brad Pascal, who is the Trump social media guy.

00:02:52.720 He's a big role in the campaign, I believe now.

00:02:55.200 Yeah.

00:02:55.560 OK, so last night he tweeted, investigate, or this was 17 hours ago, investigate.

00:03:03.800 Glenn Beck nails it.

00:03:05.240 The fake news media wants to ignore this.

00:03:07.480 If anything close to this existed, the GOP would play 24-7 on every channel.

00:03:16.020 He breaks down the origin of it all and the real collusion against real Donald Trump.

00:03:20.620 OK, then he embeds the link.

00:03:26.540 Then this morning he just tweeted, my average tweet gets 250 to 400,000 impressions.

00:03:35.280 A great tweet gets a million.

00:03:38.760 This tweet has 40,000, the lowest of any tweet since I became campaign manager.

00:03:47.340 Hmm.

00:03:48.100 Cards are so stacked against us, you won't stop me from getting this out, libs. 0.96

00:03:54.800 Then Charlie Kirk last night wrote to me and he said, just saw the video, Glenn.

00:04:05.100 It's unbelievable.

00:04:06.720 He said, tweeted it out right away.

00:04:09.800 Charlie just also tweeted, a typical tweet of mine will get 150,000 impressions and 36,000 engagements.

00:04:20.140 Yet when I shared the Parskal tweet about truth behind Ukraine, the video of mine, it only got 237.

00:04:30.000 I choose to believe that Google, Facebook, Twitter are all innocent and people just don't like you.

00:04:40.300 Now, I don't know if that's true.

00:04:41.480 That is what I'm hoping.

00:04:42.440 There is a possible.

00:04:43.400 That is possible.

00:04:44.180 So, if you look at this, this is, by the way, that's not engagements, okay?

00:04:51.000 Impressions, 159,000 is, you know, he just compared, his average is 150.

00:04:57.340 So, impressions, 159,453.

00:05:02.060 This is impressions, not engagement.

00:05:04.720 Impressions, 237.

00:05:07.980 That's not even possible.

00:05:09.760 No, it's not possible.

00:05:10.280 It's not possible.

00:05:12.440 237 impressions?

00:05:13.420 Impressions.

00:05:15.100 So, then, Pascal just, or how do you say his name, Pascal, he just tweeted this.

00:05:24.980 This appears that Glenn Beck's website URL is causing a conversation quality conversion.

00:05:33.440 What now?

00:05:34.880 I'm sorry, what was that?

00:05:36.100 He says it's a conversation quality conversion.

00:05:38.940 Ah, okay.

00:05:39.500 Which means impressions are not being shown on those links one step within those that follow me.

00:05:48.160 So, in other words, if you follow, you may get the link.

00:05:54.100 But if you are one step beyond, there's, the algorithm is stopping it and choking it right after those who volunteer, voluntarily said, I want your tweets.

00:06:05.980 So, not everybody's getting that, but no one's passing it on.

00:06:11.520 The algorithms are not passing it to anyone else.

00:06:15.420 Right.

00:06:15.540 It's not going to top tweets or, you know.

00:06:18.140 So, and they do that, and look, it's probably their right to do it, but it's an interesting thing that they are doing, and if you're going to get protections from the government.

00:06:26.540 How is this possible?

00:06:27.760 Yeah.

00:06:27.940 I mean, this, this, we should get Ted Cruz on, we should get everybody else that's on with Google.

00:06:34.860 I'd like to talk to Robert Epstein and have him look into this.

00:06:38.140 Yeah.

00:06:38.440 Because if he's seeing it happen as well.

00:06:41.200 There is, there is absolutely no reason why this video is not being shared.

00:06:48.740 There's no, it, by the way, it is, it's a banned video, you know, how they ban for that, that, it's only 2%, you know, where you can't watch it in, in college, you can't watch it in a school campus, you can't watch it.

00:07:03.360 It's restricted.

00:07:03.780 In a library.

00:07:04.920 Yeah.

00:07:05.300 Right.

00:07:05.640 It's restricted.

00:07:06.720 Yep.

00:07:07.300 It's any, they do it, like, it's a legitimate idea, the restricted mode thing, right?

00:07:12.180 Where, where you would say.

00:07:13.380 Well, yeah, if it's, if it has.

00:07:15.160 Like, let's say, you know, there's content.

00:07:17.500 Poor.

00:07:17.520 Because, yeah, they don't put porn on YouTube, I don't think, but they don't, but it's stuff like, you know, sometimes there's violent videos, there could be, like, you know, sometimes the story with, of, let's say, even the Holocaust, right?

00:07:29.200 But with all the imagery might be in restricted mode.

00:07:31.700 It's really meant more for parents.

00:07:33.640 Right.

00:07:33.840 Than anything else.

00:07:34.680 Correct.

00:07:35.180 But again, like, your video, while it has, I mean, other than boring children to death, is not going to do anything harmful.

00:07:43.520 No, there's no swear words.

00:07:45.140 There's no swear words on it.

00:07:46.600 That there's, there's not even conspiracy.

00:07:48.820 I love the people who have been saying, oh, it's a conspiracy.

00:07:51.700 What conspiracy?

00:07:53.360 Everything we showed you was documented.

00:07:56.340 You can look into that.

00:07:57.180 Yeah.

00:07:57.480 I mean, in fact, I want you. 1.00

00:08:00.200 I, I engaged so many people who are just, uh, just haters, just haters that were like, oh, Glenn Beck, you're an idiot. 1.00

00:08:08.960 That's great. 0.99

00:08:09.580 Thank you.

00:08:09.960 I appreciate that.

00:08:11.120 I accept that.

00:08:12.140 Can you just tell me where we got it wrong?

00:08:15.920 I engaged over and over and over this weekend.

00:08:18.980 Just let's just stick to the, the documents, the court documents, the sworn affidavits, the audio recordings.

00:08:27.380 Can you just, let's just stick to those.

00:08:30.480 Don't, don't make this about me.

00:08:31.980 Stick to those.

00:08:33.280 Can you tell me what's wrong with any of those?

00:08:36.940 Nope.

00:08:37.520 Not a word.

00:08:38.200 Audio recordings, typically of, of officials on tape saying they worked with the Clinton administrator, the Clinton people to, um, to hurt Donald Trump during the election.

00:08:53.280 This is a hidden recording, by the way, of them at dinner.

00:08:56.400 So it's not like they were like on stage for some reason to try to, uh, send a message or anything like that.

00:09:02.720 Play the tape again if we happen to have it still here.

00:09:05.100 It's, it's, it's in, uh, it's in Ukrainian.

00:09:08.560 Uh, so you won't be able to understand it, but maybe you'll be able to understand the word Clinton in there.

00:09:15.500 And we had the translation, by the way, we had to go through multiple hoops to get the translation from an actual Ukrainian translation company.

00:09:22.420 Right.

00:09:23.100 Um, because there wasn't an English translation that existed in the video, which is weird.

00:09:27.460 Weird.

00:09:27.800 Cause it's, it was on the front page of one of the papers in Ukraine.

00:09:32.300 This was part of a trial where they convicted two people in Ukraine, two people, I mean, you want to talk about closely, uh, related to the Obama administration.

00:09:47.720 The guy who was running the anti-corruption bureau, really, to run this bureau that they put in because they thought Ukraine was too corrupt.

00:09:56.640 Right.

00:09:57.160 Right.

00:09:57.640 And then they lost $7 billion.

00:10:00.460 And as the, the government was trying to investigate the anti-corruption bureau with Obama was like, no, no, no, no, no.

00:10:08.500 It's not, we don't need to investigate that.

00:10:10.640 Let's look the other way.

00:10:11.540 Wow.

00:10:13.080 Here's the, here's, here's the video.

00:10:15.940 This is the audio.

00:10:18.080 Did those Russians help him? 0.99

00:10:20.720 Your people?

00:10:21.660 Speaking of Trump.

00:10:23.100 I think they did, but I helped them too.

00:10:25.940 Not him.

00:10:26.620 I helped Hillary.

00:10:28.000 Yeah, right.

00:10:28.700 But then her position tottered.

00:10:30.500 Well, this is how they write about it.

00:10:32.440 Right.

00:10:33.340 Human Hillary's humanitarian aid.

00:10:36.180 What the stop for a second.

00:10:37.680 What the hell does that even mean?

00:10:39.180 Her humanitarian aid.

00:10:41.760 They're bringing up, well, she, she, her position teetered. 0.59

00:10:45.060 Yeah.

00:10:45.300 Well, her humanitarian aid.

00:10:47.640 Why would two officials in Ukraine be talking about the Clinton Foundation when they were talking about how corrupt they were in helping win the election or helping Hillary try to win the election?

00:11:02.220 How is that?

00:11:03.220 I mean, think of that.

00:11:05.500 It's very strange.

00:11:06.640 It's almost as if the Clinton administration wasn't really a charity.

00:11:11.600 Right.

00:11:11.900 Right.

00:11:12.160 Like, right.

00:11:12.720 I mean, you think about it.

00:11:13.600 How much, I mean, maybe they're doing all sorts of incredible things right now and I'm just missing them.

00:11:20.000 Yeah.

00:11:20.340 But I haven't heard word one from any journalist about all the things the Clinton Foundation has done for people since the election ended.

00:11:28.180 I mean, it's been three years.

00:11:29.080 I haven't heard.

00:11:29.660 Are they even in operation anymore?

00:11:31.560 I don't even know.

00:11:32.540 I honestly don't even know.

00:11:33.400 Are they still in operation?

00:11:34.620 Are they still accepting donations?

00:11:35.600 Are they still doing things?

00:11:36.820 You know, I haven't heard word one about the organization.

00:11:38.140 It's really weird because all these.

00:11:39.940 If you lost, wouldn't this be like your retirement thing to do if it was really a charity?

00:11:43.740 At least Jimmy Carter went and built houses.

00:11:46.300 He's still building them now.

00:11:47.140 Right.

00:11:47.720 Right.

00:11:48.020 He's like 100 years old.

00:11:48.940 He's still nailing boards together.

00:11:51.160 It's strange.

00:11:51.820 It's almost like all those countries that gave money and then strangely got a meeting with the Secretary of State.

00:11:57.860 Yeah.

00:11:58.060 It's almost like that was the business.

00:12:00.740 Almost like it.

00:12:01.960 But definitely not.

00:12:02.820 But definitely not.

00:12:03.420 No, I'm not worth looking into.

00:12:04.960 No.

00:12:05.200 Okay.

00:12:05.360 No, not worth looking into.

00:12:06.660 So here are these guys on tape saying that they helped Hillary Clinton.

00:12:09.980 Um, and they don't know about the Russians.

00:12:13.120 I suppose they tried to help Trump, but these are Ukrainians and they're admitting that they 1.00

00:12:19.620 worked to help Hillary Clinton.

00:12:22.240 And the main guy who is speaking here is the guy who ran the anti-corruption bureau.

00:12:29.100 The guy who's like, yeah, I helped.

00:12:31.380 Yeah, you bet.

00:12:32.340 Yeah, you bet.

00:12:34.440 That's the anti-corruption guy.

00:12:39.340 So here's the thing.

00:12:41.060 First of all, I told you this a few weeks ago that it is really important that you sign up for, um, my newsletter.

00:12:51.500 at glennbeck.com because that's a way that we have to directly contact you with no filter.

00:12:58.420 Nobody's, nobody's cutting our communication.

00:13:01.860 Um, it is important that you are a Blaze subscriber.

00:13:05.700 Uh, I, I almost, almost think maybe possibly have the purse strings almost open to be able to get the, uh, to get, to be able to hire some

00:13:20.580 investigative journalist and hole them up in a room like the New York Times does and really take this open.

00:13:27.500 Because nobody's going to do it.

00:13:29.480 Nope.

00:13:29.840 We're at the same position we were at at Fox.

00:13:32.740 Same place.

00:13:33.800 We have all the goods.

00:13:35.600 All it requires is some organization to take it on and actually do it.

00:13:41.420 And no one will.

00:13:42.860 Well, we just, that's probably a million dollars to be able to do an investigation like this.

00:13:48.940 We need you to support us and, and please subscribe to the Blaze.

00:13:54.740 And it is the only way that I can guarantee that you will see our videos.

00:14:00.780 Uh, our videos are now being blocked.

00:14:03.940 Uh, they are being throttled even on Twitter.

00:14:07.100 The president's people are being throttled.

00:14:10.200 Why?

00:14:10.540 Why do you fear this story?

00:14:15.400 Tell me that Google, what is wrong with this story?

00:14:19.240 We haven't violated any of your standards.

00:14:23.120 There's nothing offensive on it.

00:14:26.180 It's all documented.

00:14:28.480 There's no conspiracy here.

00:14:30.500 It's all documented.

00:14:33.180 Why are you so afraid of this?

00:14:35.240 Why is the media avoiding this?

00:14:37.780 And why is Google and Facebook doing everything they can to make sure that this word doesn't get out?

00:14:47.120 Join us at the Blaze, blazetv.com, uh, slash Glenn.

00:14:51.780 Do we still have the 20?

00:14:53.040 I'm just going to say GB20 off.

00:14:55.440 And, uh.

00:14:56.200 I, I don't think that's still active, but it's, uh, you can try, you can try it.

00:15:00.100 Give it a whirl.

00:15:00.820 Give it a whirl.

00:15:01.140 Or use Glenn and you'll get 10% off.

00:15:02.260 It's 10 or 20.

00:15:03.060 I don't know.

00:15:03.460 Try GB20 off.

00:15:05.900 See if it goes through.

00:15:06.800 Because I think it should be 20 off.

00:15:09.180 It should be more than that today.

00:15:10.900 We want everybody to join us at Blaze.

00:15:14.080 Um, blazetv.com slash Glenn.

00:15:16.480 Try GB20 off.

00:15:18.220 If not, just try promo code.

00:15:19.800 What is it, Glenn?

00:15:20.900 Yeah.

00:15:21.220 And that'll get you to the 10% off.

00:15:25.140 The best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:15:26.900 Hey, it's Glenn, and you're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

00:15:36.540 If you like what you're hearing on this show, make sure you check out Pat Gray Unleashed.

00:15:40.960 It's available wherever you download your favorite podcasts.

00:15:44.280 So I want to go to, uh, Dr. Robert Epstein.

00:15:48.060 Uh, he is a guy who we have, um, had on several times.

00:15:52.660 He is a guy that was a Clinton supporter, um, and voted for Clinton.

00:15:57.720 He's, he's from the other side.

00:16:00.580 The other side has eaten him now because he dare cross the line and say, hey, there's

00:16:06.200 something going on with, with Google and their algorithms.

00:16:09.700 Uh, and he has been watching the election and we've, we've got to help this man raise

00:16:16.180 enough money to be able to, uh, document what this next election, what is happening with

00:16:23.240 this next election because Google, we know they have said, we can't let this happen again.

00:16:29.920 Uh, and he's the only one that is, is in the position to document this.

00:16:36.020 And he is not a fan.

00:16:38.100 I don't think of either side.

00:16:39.220 He just wants the truth.

00:16:40.720 Welcome to the program.

00:16:41.860 Dr. Robert Epstein.

00:16:43.820 My pleasure, Glenn.

00:16:45.020 Nice to be back.

00:16:45.900 It's good to have you.

00:16:46.980 So I want to just touch base with you today because, um, we have, we have some, uh,

00:16:53.240 some interesting things happening.

00:16:55.080 We have, I produced the biggest video.

00:16:58.360 The, the blaze has ever published.

00:17:01.260 Um, it is a video that has more views on the platform by far than anything we've done

00:17:07.880 in almost 10 years.

00:17:09.620 And yet on YouTube and Facebook, it's, it's performing well, but not like that.

00:17:18.520 We now have two people who, um, have tweeted it, who have gigantic followings, uh, and they

00:17:28.160 can't, that one had engagement of 237 and they have, you know, uh, uh, millions of followers.

00:17:35.700 I have 2 million followers.

00:17:37.660 I can't get this thing over, you know, 2000, uh, likes.

00:17:42.280 How do we prove that we're being throttled here?

00:17:48.680 Well, uh, as, as you may recall in 2016, I built a monitoring system, uh, which allowed

00:17:56.460 me with people's permission to look over the shoulders of users, uh, around the country.

00:18:02.620 At that point, I had 95 field agents in 24 States and basically see what they were seeing

00:18:09.320 on their screens as they were conducting searches on Google, Bing, and Yahoo.

00:18:13.760 So we, we preserved more than 13,000 election related searches, uh, 2018, we built a bigger

00:18:20.000 system.

00:18:20.520 We preserved, uh, not only search results, but we also preserved search suggestions and answer

00:18:27.880 boxes, uh, 2020, we're going to build an enormous system with thousands of field agents, and we're

00:18:35.500 going to preserve lots of things.

00:18:37.880 I'm not going to go through the whole list, but among other things, we are going to preserve,

00:18:41.760 uh, tweets that will document, that will show without any doubt, that will quantify, uh, what

00:18:49.280 at Twitter is called shadow banning.

00:18:51.420 And that's what you and your colleagues are running into.

00:18:54.060 Uh, basically if Twitter, uh, personnel believe that you're violating any of their terms of service,

00:19:03.880 which we're not, uh, well, you know, that's very subjective though.

00:19:07.560 On their part, very subjective.

00:19:08.660 Uh, what they, what they do is they can either down rank you and they admit this by the way,

00:19:14.960 they can either down rank you.

00:19:16.840 So people don't, don't see you because you're not high in any lists.

00:19:20.720 You're, you're, you're, you're popping up very, very low or actually shadow ban, which means

00:19:26.540 you send out a tweet to your 2 million followers, but your 2 million followers aren't getting

00:19:32.800 the tweet period, uh, or just a small portion of them are getting it.

00:19:36.880 But we now have a way of actually documenting this, recording it, quantifying it.

00:19:43.880 Uh, so we're going to have rock solid evidence in 2020.

00:19:47.600 If Twitter is doing this, uh, we are going to, we are going to document it, prove it, and

00:19:53.400 we're going to release our findings to the media and to a federal election commission to

00:19:58.680 various authorities.

00:19:59.480 So we're going to be tracking all kinds of things with a very large panel of field agents

00:20:05.100 in all 50 States, including shadow banning.

00:20:08.800 So we also are having a problem with YouTube and, uh, it's not, it's not popping up the way

00:20:15.640 it should in, in YouTube.

00:20:18.480 So, uh, it's part of Google, right?

00:20:21.600 Yeah.

00:20:21.780 It's part of, it's part of Google.

00:20:23.220 Are you going to be watching YouTube as well?

00:20:25.220 Positively.

00:20:27.340 We're going to be watching YouTube, uh, many, many different, uh, ways in which affect five

00:20:32.460 different ways in which Facebook, uh, suppresses material.

00:20:37.620 Um, I'm not even going to tell you how many ways we're going to be monitoring.

00:20:40.540 No, don't, please don't.

00:20:42.260 Don't Google, Google, Google is the biggest threat there is, uh, to the free and fair election.

00:20:47.340 Uh, but I can tell you, I am, I am positive that these companies, uh, if there's no monitoring

00:20:53.400 system in place, these companies are going to go all out and together, uh, I calculate

00:20:59.420 that they can shift 15 million votes next year with no one knowing that they've done

00:21:05.720 it and without leaving a paper trail for authorities to trace.

00:21:10.080 I'm having real problems getting my, uh, my space posts to even be seen.

00:21:14.380 No one's looking at it at all.

00:21:15.740 My spaces.

00:21:16.620 I don't know if you can look into that for me, doctor.

00:21:18.680 Um, so, um, the, the, the, the scary thing here is, is that this is such an obvious,

00:21:27.040 uh, shadow ban, uh, there's just no way these metrics are even right.

00:21:33.020 And they don't care.

00:21:34.700 They don't care that I'm on the air talking about them doing this.

00:21:37.740 They don't care that you're doing, they don't care.

00:21:41.320 I mean, well, they don't, they don't care.

00:21:43.300 In fact, uh, you know, we learned a lot about shadow banning January of 2018.

00:21:48.680 Uh, from a project Veritas investigation.

00:21:51.800 And let me just read you a quote from, uh, a, a former software engineer.

00:21:57.120 His last name is Vadrevu, V-A-D-R-E-V-U about shadow banning.

00:22:02.400 So here's a former Twitter software engineer quote, the idea of a shadow ban is that you

00:22:08.380 ban someone, but they don't know they've been banned because they keep posting and no

00:22:14.420 one sees their content.

00:22:15.540 So they just think that no one is engaging with their content when in reality, no one

00:22:20.700 is seeing it and quote, uh, so, uh, uh, project Veritas interviewed about a half a dozen current

00:22:29.020 and former employees of Twitter.

00:22:32.680 Uh, and they all admitted that this occurs.

00:22:36.520 Then Forbes magazine did a fabulous piece.

00:22:40.160 I recommend people look that up, which is entitled is Twitter really censoring free speech?

00:22:45.440 Uh, where Forbes went to Twitter and asked, you know, ask these tough questions.

00:22:51.600 And in this wonderful article, they report, uh, Twitter's responses.

00:22:57.040 Twitter, uh, like Google, like Facebook, they answer questions about, about content suppression,

00:23:03.720 about censorship in very creepy ways.

00:23:08.000 Uh, because Twitter said, no, we don't shadow ban, but oh yes, we do down rank.

00:23:14.540 Uh, and we make decisions about how to protect, uh, you know, our users from content they shouldn't

00:23:20.480 be seeing.

00:23:21.460 Right.

00:23:22.080 That is, that's, that is an amazing, it's an amazing quote.

00:23:26.320 Um, yeah, they, they, uh, let's, I have it here.

00:23:29.020 Let's see.

00:23:29.540 Uh, uh, here we go.

00:23:32.540 Ah, it's just now my computer screen.

00:23:34.420 But there's no external audits.

00:23:35.900 They won't allow any external committees or, you know, to come in and look, look over what

00:23:41.100 they're doing.

00:23:41.620 They don't allow that.

00:23:42.420 And they will not release the demographic characteristics of the people they use to

00:23:49.540 make decisions about suppressing content.

00:23:52.020 It's amazing.

00:23:52.880 That's important too.

00:23:53.460 Uh, here's a quote.

00:23:54.100 Uh, Twitter does not shadow ban accounts.

00:23:56.000 We do take actions to down rank accounts that are abusive and mark them accordingly so that

00:24:00.980 people can still click through and see the tweets if they so choose, which of course no

00:24:05.280 one does, right?

00:24:05.960 Like that's not the way people use Twitter.

00:24:07.840 They don't go, they don't click on the named accounts.

00:24:10.500 And we know this happens, right?

00:24:12.140 This is essentially their own mute feature.

00:24:15.140 I use it all the time.

00:24:16.200 I freaking love the mute feature, but I'm choosing to do it.

00:24:18.520 There's tons of people who are calling me a Nazi every single day that I don't see, but

00:24:22.640 they think I see it.

00:24:24.060 Like they're wondering, they tweet all the time negative things to me and I'm just like

00:24:27.760 mute, mute, mute, mute me because I don't care.

00:24:29.780 Uh, but that shouldn't, that should be something that the user does.

00:24:32.340 That should not be something that Twitter is doing for us.

00:24:35.940 Well, this, this is the problem, or I should say one of the big three problems.

00:24:41.140 Uh, the, the, the first one is the surveillance.

00:24:43.260 Uh, second is the, uh, the censorship and the third is manipulation.

00:24:48.920 And here we're talking about the censorship problem.

00:24:51.640 And, uh, you know, you don't know what you don't know.

00:24:55.180 So censorship is so dangerous because, uh, you know, if material is being suppressed, content

00:25:02.220 is being suppressed, how would you know that?

00:25:05.180 And of course, what I, what I study is how, uh, you know, these kinds of, uh, of activities

00:25:11.320 shift people's thinking, uh, beliefs, attitudes, and of course shifts their voting preferences.

00:25:17.340 And it is astonishing, uh, the impact that these kinds of manipulations have on people's

00:25:25.260 thinking and behavior and on their votes.

00:25:28.360 And again, you don't know what you don't know.

00:25:31.400 You know, it's really interesting because I read the New York times.

00:25:34.560 I listen to the daily every day, you know, cause I want to be informed on what they are

00:25:39.200 talking about.

00:25:39.880 I, I need to understand all sides of an issue and I want to see what, you know, what they

00:25:45.600 are publishing or what they aren't publishing and what their spin is when they do.

00:25:49.040 Uh, and it is incredible to me that there are many people who, uh, are on the right who don't

00:25:57.340 necessarily know they'll blame the New York times for never covering such a, and they will

00:26:01.320 have, but it's the New York times.

00:26:03.920 It's not the mainstream media.

00:26:05.760 However, the mainstream media in bulk, they don't watch, listen, or pay any attention to

00:26:12.920 what people on the other side are saying and report it as fact, or even just, this is the

00:26:20.100 way half the country feels.

00:26:22.200 And after the last election, I had a friend come down who was a liberal and paid no attention

00:26:27.760 to the other side.

00:26:28.660 And we told him about all of the different things that had happened in the Obama administration,

00:26:33.440 like the IRS investigation.

00:26:35.620 He had never even heard of it.

00:26:38.200 And so they can report things, but by the way they report it, or by the way they downplay

00:26:44.560 it, et cetera, et cetera, half the country isn't, doesn't even, isn't even aware of what

00:26:50.360 the other half thinks.

00:26:51.500 That's a real problem.

00:26:53.580 Well, this also is, is a, is a, is a worse problem than any censorship in history, because

00:27:01.160 when these big tech companies suppress material, there's no way to counteract it.

00:27:06.920 In other words, uh, Google has no competition, has no competitor really anywhere in the world.

00:27:13.000 Uh, neither does Facebook, uh, neither does Twitter.

00:27:16.200 I mean, there, there, you know, if, if these platforms want to suppress material, you can't

00:27:21.600 counteract it.

00:27:22.280 In other words, if you, if, if the newspaper published, you know, on one side of, uh, Pittsburgh

00:27:27.700 wants to suppress something, well, you know, chances are there's a newspaper, something or

00:27:32.580 other on the other side of Pittsburgh, uh, where they're going to bring that material out.

00:27:36.400 Right.

00:27:36.840 But you can't, you can't counteract it when, uh, Google, Facebook, or Twitter suppresses

00:27:43.120 material.

00:27:43.840 There's no way to counteract it.

00:27:45.600 In fact, generally, unless someone like me builds monitoring systems, you can't even detect

00:27:50.980 what they're doing.

00:27:52.340 Uh, Robert, I, I can't thank you enough for all of the hard work that you are putting through.

00:27:56.820 If you would like to donate, um, please donate.

00:28:00.780 And if there happens to be wealthy people that are listening right now, please donate

00:28:05.360 generously to my Google research.com, my Google research.com.

00:28:11.020 This is a guy who's actually just searching for answers and the truth.

00:28:14.540 It is legitimate research.

00:28:16.840 And, um, and right now he happens to be on the outs with the left because, uh, that's,

00:28:22.680 you know, who's generally, um, controlling these companies.

00:28:26.840 Um, but you do the same if it was controlled by the right.

00:28:29.960 Um, please donate my, to my Google research.com.

00:28:34.340 Thank you, doctor.

00:28:35.100 I appreciate it.

00:28:35.720 We'll talk to you again.

00:28:37.100 Thanks, Glenn.

00:28:37.820 You bet.

00:28:38.200 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:28:54.180 Hey, it's Glenn.

00:29:14.820 Thanks.

00:29:15.580 And Congressman Chris Stewart joins us now as he's getting on an airplane to,

00:29:20.660 God forbid, go back, uh, to Washington, DC.

00:29:24.640 Chris, uh, he's not, he's not on yet.

00:29:28.720 Okay.

00:29:29.080 Hang on just a second.

00:29:30.040 You know what it is?

00:29:31.360 Google, Facebook, Twitter.

00:29:33.320 It's screwing with our phones.

00:29:34.680 Yeah.

00:29:34.800 I'm curious to ask Chris, uh, you know, obviously these latest developments, what

00:29:39.480 he's seen, what he can talk to us about.

00:29:41.440 Cause he can't talk to us about a lot of it.

00:29:43.220 Right.

00:29:43.480 He's on the Intel, uh, he's going through security.

00:29:47.200 He's taking off his belt and shoes.

00:29:49.240 Uh, so, uh, yeah, when he gets, when he picks his phone back up out of the

00:29:53.360 little round cup, uh, we'll, uh, we'll have him on.

00:29:57.460 Cause has he seen the second whistleblower?

00:29:58.780 He's seen the second whistleblower and we want to talk to him about that.

00:30:01.480 That'd be interesting.

00:30:02.400 I don't know how much he can talk about with that.

00:30:04.600 I don't, I, I think he can, I don't know.

00:30:07.040 They say this is like, not only the smoking gun, it's the second smoking gun.

00:30:10.220 Yeah.

00:30:10.360 Like they, the first one wasn't really smoking.

00:30:12.500 Now what is the smoking gun?

00:30:13.620 When Rudy Giuliani was on television saying he was going to do these things.

00:30:16.820 I kind of thought that was a smoking gun that they were doing it.

00:30:19.380 Well, that was kind of a interesting turn of events.

00:30:21.980 Now there is more to it, I guess, with the money being withheld and maybe we'll

00:30:24.720 learn more about that.

00:30:25.660 We still haven't, but there's still, you know, we, I do want to ask Chris if he's,

00:30:29.600 if he's also seen the full testimony or was present of this person, of the

00:30:34.820 people talking about Volcker and the other people involved here talking about

00:30:38.380 the texts that came out last week.

00:30:40.020 Oh yeah.

00:30:40.340 Yeah.

00:30:40.440 Cause if you remember, this was like when some of the Trump officials were saying

00:30:43.960 things like, look, you know, it's my, is it my understanding that we're supposed

00:30:47.220 to withhold this security assessment, the money essentially for until this

00:30:52.840 investigation starts.

00:30:53.820 And then the other guy's like, Oh no, you misunderstand what the Trump

00:30:57.280 administration would like to do.

00:30:58.620 We want to do only the best things with unicorns and puppy dogs.

00:31:01.180 It's like one of those things of where you could tell both of them are trying to

00:31:04.060 get on record.

00:31:04.760 They're not actually talking to each other.

00:31:06.120 They're just both texting to get on record.

00:31:08.400 But predictably after this testimony happened, the Democrats bring out everything

00:31:13.820 that I would assume is the worst, most damning information.

00:31:17.260 And we haven't heard anything from the other side of it.

00:31:20.640 Republicans universally that have seen this information seem to be coming out and

00:31:24.440 saying, if you see the full testimony, you're going to understand what was going

00:31:27.620 on.

00:31:28.400 Why don't they release the full testimony?

00:31:30.120 And the Democrats have it.

00:31:31.460 So that's interesting.

00:31:32.420 And it's an interesting point, but you know, it's also predictably partisan lines.

00:31:37.000 This is breaking on.

00:31:37.780 I wonder if Chris has any more insight.

00:31:39.400 Obviously he is a Republican, but he seems to be pretty honest.

00:31:43.540 He's putting his belt in his shoes back on right now.

00:31:46.280 So welcome Congressman Chris Stewart.

00:31:48.860 How are you, sir?

00:31:50.320 I got to get my shoes here, Glenn.

00:31:51.900 Just give me another minute.

00:31:52.840 All right.

00:31:52.980 All right.

00:31:53.720 So Chris, good.

00:31:55.300 Did you, did you see the whistleblower report and can you talk about it?

00:32:01.700 Yes.

00:32:02.640 And somewhat.

00:32:04.140 Okay.

00:32:04.860 We've, we've seen it.

00:32:06.020 I think, I think much of it has been released.

00:32:07.840 There's been some redacted portions, but this is pretty much in the public realm.

00:32:12.180 So we can talk about almost all that except for some small portions.

00:32:15.580 Okay.

00:32:16.060 So go ahead.

00:32:17.120 Tell us, tell us your POV.

00:32:19.820 I mean, this seems like just another guy who's saying, yep, that phone call happened.

00:32:24.980 Well, we know that.

00:32:26.060 Yeah.

00:32:26.880 Right.

00:32:27.240 You're talking about this.

00:32:28.220 You're talking about the second whistleblower.

00:32:29.580 Second whistleblower.

00:32:30.620 Yeah.

00:32:31.000 Yeah.

00:32:31.180 Yeah.

00:32:31.400 Well, no, it was obvious.

00:32:32.900 I mean, I said yesterday on some media that I thought this was going to come forward because

00:32:36.500 it was obvious that this guy had been having some, this guy or girl had been having conversations

00:32:40.920 and that they were, that they were interested in talking about it.

00:32:44.220 But as I said yesterday, what difference does it make?

00:32:46.600 All they can say is, as you started to say, Glenn, yep, I listened or I read the transcript

00:32:53.000 and yep, that's a phone call.

00:32:55.280 Well, again, we already have that information.

00:32:58.380 You could, you or any of your listeners could read that in seven seconds.

00:33:02.540 And other than that, what, what can he tell us that's helpful at all?

00:33:05.920 And the answer to that is nothing.

00:33:07.600 We can read it.

00:33:08.340 We can make our own judgment.

00:33:09.260 I don't need some, you know, some secret analyst who tells me what this means.

00:33:14.040 It's very simple what it means.

00:33:15.280 Anyone can read it themselves.

00:33:17.100 All right.

00:33:17.340 So tell me about, if you can, the, the text messages that were last week, they were revealed.

00:33:26.500 Can you talk about those at all?

00:33:28.660 Yeah.

00:33:29.380 Although a little more limited because it was an executive session and, and we have to

00:33:33.960 be, you know, have to be careful on it.

00:33:36.020 But this is, this is just the bottom line on this.

00:33:38.260 And this is so malicious and it's so deliberate because what they have done is they've taken

00:33:43.720 little snippets of it, not even, not even an entire short text in its entirety, but little

00:33:50.020 pieces here and there.

00:33:51.460 And they leak that because once again, this is an executive session and it's not supposed

00:33:55.940 to be released.

00:33:56.900 And it creates an impression that is absolutely 100% contrary to the facts or the entirety of

00:34:03.720 this hearing.

00:34:04.280 And that is Mr. Volker and others came and they said there clearly was no quid pro quo.

00:34:10.340 There clearly was no linkage.

00:34:12.020 He has very plausible, very, very reasonable explanations for the timing of the meetings.

00:34:17.760 Uh, you know, the timing of their intention to withhold this, uh, this age of Ukraine that 0.91

00:34:22.920 was based entirely on them trying to pressure Angela Merkel and others in the EU.

00:34:28.880 And, uh, these guys will take little pieces of it.

00:34:31.720 They'll leak it to the media.

00:34:32.920 The media course runs with it.

00:34:34.620 And by the time the truth comes out, when they'll release a transcript that will show in

00:34:39.580 its entirety what it actually means to the damage is already done.

00:34:42.260 So, Chris, I, I did a special last week.

00:34:46.040 I don't know if you've seen it.

00:34:47.380 Um, but, uh, I laid a chalkboard out and it took me about 50 minutes.

00:34:52.140 Everything in it, we have verified sources on there's, there wasn't a bit of conjecture

00:34:57.960 or maybe this happened or whatever.

00:34:59.760 100% based on fact, uh, and it outlines that the Democrats did in Ukraine exactly everything

00:35:10.620 that they are, are accusing Donald Trump on.

00:35:14.200 And yet no one in the media cares to cover this.

00:35:17.560 We're being throttled like nobody's business.

00:35:19.520 It's the biggest video we have done in almost the 10 year history of the blaze on the platform.

00:35:27.520 It's gigantic, but we are being throttled down.

00:35:31.540 Um, you know, Charlie Kirk said he gets, uh, about 150, uh, about 150,000 views of everything

00:35:40.140 that he does.

00:35:40.980 When he retweeted this link, it got 237.

00:35:45.980 Uh, and I'm wondering where anyone is on, on, on turning this around back on the Democrats.

00:35:56.420 Is there, is there anybody who is on this trail?

00:36:01.000 Well, we're trying Glenn.

00:36:02.440 I mean, there's a number of us who are trying and, and I was actually listening to you earlier

00:36:06.660 as, as I was running and talking about this 50 minute chalkboard and the, and the lack

00:36:11.740 of response on Twitter.

00:36:12.680 And, uh, and I would ask, I mean, I'm not terribly surprised.

00:36:16.500 In fact, frankly, I would have been surprised if you wouldn't have had that kind of response

00:36:20.180 from them and that kind of throttling. 0.99

00:36:21.680 I don't think it's muted, but it's clearly throttled, but, but this is just one example.

00:36:26.160 And Glenn, let me give you another one that we've been talking about for years that is

00:36:29.140 ignored.

00:36:30.040 I mean, the Democrats are making this argument that the president needs to be impeached and

00:36:35.020 removed from office because of one sentence in one conversation that he readily made available.

00:36:42.380 He released that thing within a few days of, of anyone asking for it.

00:36:46.660 On the other hand, versus this story, Hillary Rodney Clinton and the DNC paid a foreign agent

00:36:53.900 who then worked with other Russian, Russian agents to do what to dig up dirt on their political

00:36:59.920 opponent in order to affect the outcome of an election, which is the room that you hear

00:37:04.340 all the time regarding president Trump, what he said to Ukraine.

00:37:07.280 We know that they did that.

00:37:08.500 They did it far more brazenly.

00:37:10.140 And when does the media ever talk about that?

00:37:12.880 I just think it's one more example.

00:37:14.720 Your experience here is just one more example of them.

00:37:18.400 Look, to call them biased is an incredible understatement.

00:37:21.520 They're advocates now and they're dishonest advocates.

00:37:24.960 And, uh, and we, I don't know what to say.

00:37:27.060 We just have to accept it and do what we can.

00:37:29.000 Well, so the only, the only solution here is, is that the Senate, because you can't in

00:37:34.160 the house, that the Senate, uh, starts to look into this, this corruption with the, with

00:37:41.020 the Democrats, I mean, why are we playing defense when we should be playing offense?

00:37:47.200 Why isn't the Senate taking this on and saying, you know what?

00:37:51.460 We'd like to, we'd like to find out exactly what was happening in Ukraine.

00:37:55.040 And you go ahead and investigate the president.

00:37:57.200 We're going to be investigating what was happening in Ukraine and why people went to prison or

00:38:04.460 were convicted.

00:38:05.180 I think it was overturned, but it's back in court today, but they were convicted, uh,

00:38:11.040 for interfering in the U S election.

00:38:13.340 We have them on tape on that, on the video.

00:38:17.440 We have a tape of the guy who was the head of the anti-corruption bureau in Ukraine, actually

00:38:25.220 admitting to helping Hillary Clinton win the election.

00:38:29.360 Or, I mean, uh, you know, tried, tried to win the election.

00:38:33.980 Well, and as you said, they're in the house.

00:38:35.800 I mean, I'm as powerless as a kitten in the house being in the minority, unfortunately,

00:38:40.040 which is why we got to change that.

00:38:41.920 But, uh, but as you said, the Senate, Lindsey Graham and others in the Senate do have the

00:38:46.320 authority to investigate this.

00:38:47.560 And I think Lindsey's indicated, uh, more than a willingness to do that.

00:38:50.820 And there's one other tool that we have that I think may be more effective.

00:38:54.300 And that is attorney general bar.

00:38:57.080 Oh my gosh, this guy is a hero to me because he is fearless.

00:39:01.800 He's committed.

00:39:02.880 He had, he's not out to make a name or a reputation.

00:39:06.040 He's been there, done that doesn't need to do it again.

00:39:08.580 And I believe he is, as I said, committed to investigating not only the origins of the,

00:39:14.340 of the FISA warrant and the other, um, as we know, the other activities going back to

00:39:18.960 2016 in Russia.

00:39:20.060 But I think, uh, I think it'd be surprised if he didn't look at Ukraine as well.

00:39:25.340 That FISA warrant is going to fall apart.

00:39:27.760 We have, we have documented evidence, Chris, um, uh, please watch that, uh, that video.

00:39:35.100 We have documented evidence that a DNC operative will, uh, uh, put all of this information

00:39:42.900 together, um, and sent it to, uh, Michael Isikoff.

00:39:47.840 Now I'm not saying that Michael knew what he was, what he was, that he was being used,

00:39:52.220 but in that text message, she, or that email, she's alluding to the Steele dossier, which

00:39:59.600 is one of the things, if I'm not mistaken, that was used, uh, for the FISA report was,

00:40:05.280 uh, an article from Michael Isikoff.

00:40:07.720 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure, Glenn.

00:40:09.880 I mean, look, this, this was talking about circular reasoning or circular logic.

00:40:13.640 Big time.

00:40:14.000 This was a FISA document based on the Steele dossier, which I just described the origins

00:40:19.540 of that to, by the way, painfully, painfully hidden under there was the fact that they

00:40:25.300 knew that it was paid for by the DNC.

00:40:27.560 Yeah.

00:40:27.780 But in a, in a footnote that I defy anyone to read that footnote where they describe where

00:40:32.920 they got this information and who funded it and to actually understand who did it it's a very

00:40:37.540 clear effort to to be uh to be deceitful and deceptive in that but then as additional evidence

00:40:43.860 what do they use as you just said michael isikoff's reporting and which where did he get his

00:40:48.580 information from from christopher steel uh so i mean their backup is the same document it was

00:40:55.120 just leaked to a reporter and they claim that that is a secondary source when clearly it's not

00:40:59.420 and they knew that it wasn't chris thank you so much we'll talk to you again thanks for the hard

00:41:04.460 work you're doing on this i appreciate it this is the best of the glenn beck program

00:41:11.000 like listening to this podcast if you're not a subscriber become one now on itunes

00:41:26.500 but while you're there do us a favor and rate the show so i went to uh i went to joker and not it not

00:41:34.220 knowing what to expect um but after hearing so many people talk about it uh i was expecting the most

00:41:41.200 violent movie ever filmed uh and uh i was quite surprised on the way there i even you know said

00:41:49.860 to myself if it turns out to be that kind of gratuitous violence where it's man's inhumanity

00:41:56.420 demand i'm leaving uh and i'll walk out um because i just don't want to put that in to me i just don't

00:42:03.700 i don't like i just don't like watching you know torture say pretty much any mel gibson movie there's a

00:42:12.500 part where they're always just torturing mel and he's hanging from chains and and you know you're like

00:42:17.220 okay i got it i got it i got it um so i expected joker to be really really really twisted and what i

00:42:26.200 found was the opposite in many ways um this movie is unlike any superhero or any comic book uh movie i've

00:42:39.120 ever seen uh this one is realistic um this takes place in the 1970s they even open with the old warner

00:42:50.340 brothers uh logo from the 70s it looks like it's you know made on film at least at the beginning i mean

00:42:57.280 it is really uh it's really really well done joaquin phoenix is brilliant in this movie

00:43:07.440 but what i didn't expect was that for the first three quarters of the movie

00:43:14.920 i would find myself saying this is a tragedy this is so incredibly sad

00:43:27.000 because he's clearly disturbed and and joaquin phoenix really plays this very very well um and

00:43:37.920 he plays a character who is a clown and the first scene i won't give anything away the first scene

00:43:46.100 um opens with him getting you know mugged by some kids he's doing a you know a clown thing on the street

00:43:54.060 and um uh and he gets mugged and beaten by these these kids and you come to find out that that's

00:44:02.940 kind of the life he lives he has lived this life where he's always been picked on always been bullied

00:44:10.560 he's obviously clearly very mentally unstable he had already been been in arkham uh when he was 0.64

00:44:20.780 when he was younger he lives with his mom he has no real life none whatsoever uh and nobody sees him

00:44:30.580 and nobody listens to him and when they do they beat him up and you will go through the first uh three

00:44:39.960 quarters of this movie uh i think feeling really bad for him and i don't like movies that turn the

00:44:50.580 villain into the villain into the good guy and the good guys into a bad guy which i thought was

00:44:56.100 where they were going with it um it's not um and i was greatly relieved of that i don't know the

00:45:06.400 director and the writer's uh pov i don't know what they were trying to do but the joker pretty much

00:45:14.920 is leading you know in the end we all know that he you know becomes a leader wait what that's total

00:45:22.480 spoiler alert no and he hates batman oh my god okay thanks for giving the whole i don't have to

00:45:27.840 watch the sequel but this is this is occupy wall street this is antifa yeah um i've heard that from

00:45:35.660 several people who said the politics of this are not yeah they've been advertised no very left he's a

00:45:41.640 left winger essentially well he's or at least the group he's not here's here's where here's where

00:45:48.160 you could see it as left is if you think that the left cares about people but uh really because he's

00:45:59.180 he is genuine on i just can't we be nice to each other it the the social media uh commentary that at

00:46:08.480 least i got from it they don't talk about social media this is taken in the 70s um but uh to me

00:46:14.980 his rant is about us you know nobody's nice to each other why does everybody mean to one another

00:46:22.000 why does everybody just say horrible things about one another um that's not what the crowd is doing

00:46:29.000 the crowd is getting you know the anti-rich uh hate the wealthy hate those in power disrupt the

00:46:36.960 system burn it all down that's not what that's not what he's saying and i would guess in future

00:46:44.100 movies i i'm hoping he is asked to be playing the joker again in uh in sequels because i i thought he

00:46:51.260 was brilliant he deserves an oscar for sure um but uh uh he's gonna end up again i think just being used

00:47:01.900 and beaten because he's he's clearly insane and not smart enough to be putting things together 0.74

00:47:08.460 he's not like the joker that we've all seen where he's this mastermind right he's not he's not 0.94

00:47:14.880 that's interesting i mean it does seem like the the media is ridiculous right they make these fake

00:47:20.880 controversies out of everything and this was the you know the initial push on this was well it's

00:47:26.040 gonna cause mass shootings well if it does it'll be because of the left because it is a message of

00:47:31.620 the left not the right it's antifa they keep saying it's incels it's gonna make incels essentially

00:47:38.900 involuntarily involuntary celibates i believe just just used to be the losers well it might i mean it

00:47:46.560 look if you are unstable yeah uh and you go to see this you will relate to him and so it's the same way

00:47:54.820 people would relate to um uh edward norton in fight club right yeah like you kind of like there's

00:48:00.660 these anti-heroes that wind up being heroes to certain segments of the society he's not a hero

00:48:06.020 he's not a hero in any way but that but neither i mean could you know edward norton i mean again

00:48:12.720 spoiler alert was a terrorist i think there's it's impossible to to see him as anything else if you

00:48:18.060 actually watch the movie seriously right not edward norton the person by the way i'm talking about his

00:48:21.900 character in this particular movie um and you know it's one of those things where that happens

00:48:26.020 a lot what's his face um what was the one where where uh anonymous was using it um guy fawkes right

00:48:32.420 yeah yeah yeah guy fawkes was not a good guy but guy that was 1600s but the movie was not 1600s the

00:48:40.200 movie came out you know relatively recently yeah and was used as a symbol for uh a lot of but he was

00:48:47.600 for occupy wall street and that fits they weren't good well but they they they thought mass shooter

00:48:55.080 says that they're heroic i know right like i know everybody thinks you know hitler thought he was

00:49:00.240 heroic right everybody thinks they're heroic or comes up with a way to justify their hero i personally

00:49:05.860 think that if we all saw joker and we could all be adults we could have a very good conversation i think

00:49:14.740 it's a great conversation starter you know it's one that you can walk out of and and say so what does

00:49:22.680 that say about society who are who's he talking about and and and have a real conversation because

00:49:30.880 it's i mean how many of these shooters do we know are crazy they're not they're they're they're not

00:49:38.720 getting proper care you know and they feel isolated and bullied well that's what's really happening our

00:49:46.360 our society is sick it's sick and i i think this is the movie of our day i really do i think i don't i

00:49:56.340 don't know what to um compare it to um but it is i i think it's the the maybe saturday night fever

00:50:08.320 of the 70s where it was it just encapsulated that time and it was like that's that's that year

00:50:16.320 this is now so two questions for you yeah number one i like movies that do challenge me make me think

00:50:24.080 maybe have conversations after however that needs to be paired with it actually being a freaking

00:50:28.460 good movie okay so here's how i here's how i by itself is it a good movie here's how i reviewed it

00:50:32.640 this is a great film 100 great one of the better films made it is also one of the best movies i've seen

00:50:45.600 in a long time wow yeah okay so it's not a do not go to it thinking that you're going to be preached

00:50:52.240 too i'm not no you're not going to be preached to take it if you want to find it you can add

00:50:55.900 additional layers of conversation if you want to but you don't have to you don't have just a good

00:50:59.860 movie yeah it's a good movie nobody's preaching to you um it's still a gotham movie but it is the

00:51:06.860 least batman it's probably the lowest body count batman even on television i mean from adam west i mean

00:51:15.460 it's it's a for a movie in today's world of you know violent movies this a very low body count okay

00:51:23.240 my second question is more personal yeah i find myself falling into a very familiar pattern which is

00:51:29.240 i don't like superhero movies and then everyone starts talking about a superhero movie and i think

00:51:34.620 maybe this one's going to be good and then i go to see it and it sucks this one's not a superhero

00:51:39.640 movie did you like the batman christopher nolan batmans i liked batman begins i remember really

00:51:46.880 liking the that was the is that the one before the one with heath ledger the the one before that

00:51:52.600 okay very dark and i liked it right that's that's christopher nolan yeah christopher nolan i think did

00:51:57.940 the best batman you know the batman series it was very dark yeah yeah and it was realistic ish

00:52:05.400 you know what i mean yeah this is you could say you could say that this is not in gotham it's in

00:52:14.860 new york city and there is no batman and you could you would be comfortable even the way he dresses in

00:52:22.080 the in the outfit with the green hair you would go i could see that a realistic it's very it's a very

00:52:29.060 it's the most realistic batman uh or any super movie that i've ever seen if you make me go see

00:52:36.100 this movie and it sucks i am holding you personally responsible it's going on your record you will be 0.95

00:52:41.300 noted i i just i just want everybody else to know i'm only giving this review so he will go to this 0.97

00:52:46.760 it's awful it's awful don't fool me again you always know you gotta go you gotta go to it i i think
