00:00:00.000 The Blaze Radio Network, on demand.
00:00:30.000 We talked a little bit about tariffs and their effect on the economy.
00:00:33.460 There's a lot of kind of scary economy stuff going on right now, including the housing market seems to be drying up a little bit.
00:00:39.200 A little bit.
00:00:39.900 Hopefully this is not a long-term thing, but you're definitely worried about it.
00:00:42.560 Yeah, I'm very worried about it.
00:00:44.240 Today we kind of went into that.
00:00:46.460 Also, the border and what the media won't tell you.
00:00:51.200 I mean, even Pat came on and said, you know, I'm not one that likes the president when he says that the press is the enemy of the people.
00:00:59.700 But they're kind of being like the enemy of the people on this one.
00:01:03.200 So we're going to that, by the way, on tonight's TV show today.
00:01:05.160 If you happen to be watching, go back and the Tuesday TV show is all about the caravan, all the background of it, where the funding comes from.
00:01:13.880 What is the approach?
00:01:15.680 What are they trying to do?
00:01:17.000 It's all on the TV show tonight on the Blaze.com slash TV.
00:01:20.140 Also, Merrill Hodge and Peter Cummings are on.
00:01:23.840 He's an NFL superstar and Peter Cummings is a is a neuroscientist.
00:01:29.840 And they've written the book Brainwash about the destruction of football in America based all around what they say is incredibly faulty science of CTE.
00:01:41.100 Fascinating conversation, especially if you have a kid, you want to play football.
00:01:45.600 Well, this is a don't miss all on today's podcast.
00:01:55.600 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:02:01.460 It's Tuesday, November 27th.
00:02:04.260 We want to thank our sponsor today.
00:02:06.140 It is Brick House.
00:02:07.860 Brick House wants to remind you that superfoods aren't always super.
00:02:11.800 You have to really look at the labeling on them, because sometimes, you know, if you see something that says supplement facts, that means it's made from extracts and not real food.
00:02:24.220 Superfood is actual food.
00:02:27.760 Hmm.
00:02:28.200 It's an interesting concept.
00:02:29.420 Yeah.
00:02:29.780 You come up with that yourself.
00:02:31.060 Yeah.
00:02:31.360 When you have the word food in it.
00:02:33.640 It should usually be food.
00:02:35.120 It should be food.
00:02:36.100 It's an interesting line you're drawing.
00:02:37.320 Yes.
00:02:37.620 Yeah, but especially this week after, if you ate like I did over the past four or five days, you probably want your vegetables.
00:02:43.480 Field of Greens is what Brick House Nutrition has come out with, making your vegetables easy to get to.
00:02:49.360 You don't have to deal with downing tons of broccoli.
00:02:51.680 You just have a scoop of this and whatever you're eating, it's great.

00:03:02.480 Glenn Beck.
00:03:03.840 I feel a little like I did in 2007.
00:03:09.960 And for anybody who has been listening to me for a long time, you hopefully remember, you know, what that felt like and what we don't want to face again.
00:03:22.000 We are headed toward real economic trouble.
00:03:26.440 And we have a window of time to accomplish an awful lot of things.
00:03:31.580 Let's start with Tara Fageddon here. 0.97
00:03:33.840 It's not going away.
00:03:35.800 The tariffs, I don't know what this is, but it's not helpful.
00:03:42.540 We have been so fixated on the never-ending stream of breaking news that we are not seeing now the major economic storm that is coming.
00:03:50.940 And it is already over the horizon.
00:03:53.440 We are in a trade war.
00:03:55.140 And I don't think we've begun to see the full effects of the fallout yet.
00:03:59.540 This war has just started.
00:04:01.720 The bombs have barely begun to drop.
00:04:04.680 And we're about to start seeing the casualties.
00:04:08.280 And unfortunately, we are scrambling more fighters.
00:04:13.040 Let's not forget what tariffs really are, America.
00:04:16.960 They are not hurting or punishing the Chinese government.
00:04:24.000 They're not.
00:04:24.680 They're not hurting or punishing the European Union or Canada.
00:04:29.060 They are hurting you.
00:04:31.640 Because tariffs actually would be more aptly described with another T word, and that is tax.
00:04:40.020 It is a tax on you.
00:04:42.740 And there is nothing conservative about this policy.
00:04:46.840 This is about as progressive and big government as you get.
00:04:51.060 Ronald Reagan said it best.
00:04:52.980 Quote, government's view of the economy would be summed up in a few short phrases.
00:04:57.220 If it moves, tax it.
00:04:58.720 If it keeps moving, regulate it.
00:05:00.980 And if it stops moving, subsidize it.
00:05:04.220 When the Trump administration's tariffs hurt America's farmers, he subsidized with $12 billion in handouts.
00:05:13.800 This is not the American way. 0.96
00:05:17.640 They never needed a handout before this ridiculous trade war began. 0.56
00:05:22.600 Now they're being forced to live off the government.
00:05:25.760 To rely on the government.
00:05:28.020 To continue their own business.
00:05:30.480 There is nothing conservative about any of this.
00:05:34.120 Now according to the Tax Foundation, this trade war will result in nearly 300,000 jobs lost.
00:05:42.420 Yesterday, General Motors, the nation's largest car company, announced dramatic downsizing,
00:05:49.560 halting production at multiple plants and closing them in the U.S. and Canada.
00:05:55.540 Over 8,000 white-collar jobs are being eliminated.
00:06:00.240 More than 6,000 factory jobs gone.
00:06:03.640 Over 14,000 people in total will lose their livelihoods.
00:06:08.460 Oh, and did I mention that back in July, GM announced that the administration's trade war would cost the company $1 billion.
00:06:18.320 Now let's stick with American cars for just a second.
00:06:21.460 News from Tesla came out this morning.
00:06:23.760 They have announced their sales in China have fallen 70%.
00:06:29.600 Why?
00:06:32.600 Because we're in a trade war.
00:06:35.400 And China is taxing the crap out of everything American.
00:06:39.980 70% market share in the world's largest emerging market?
00:06:46.460 Are we insane?
00:06:48.520 Elon Musk said he's now weeks away.
00:06:51.540 Just a few weeks away of bad sales before they close the doors.
00:06:58.860 Apple also had its stock in free fall.
00:07:02.420 20% over the last three months.
00:07:05.180 As of this morning, they lost another 2%.
00:07:08.060 Why?
00:07:09.340 Because the president told the Wall Street Journal that he's considering slapping a tariff on iPhones.
00:07:15.000 If you want to buy an iPhone, you might want to buy one right now.
00:07:19.800 Because you may not be able to afford one soon.
00:07:23.480 President said we can all afford an extra 10% on our iPhone.
00:07:29.540 No, Mr. President, we can't.
00:07:33.660 Tariffs as they stand right now are bad.
00:07:37.160 But it looks like they're going to go even higher.
00:07:39.400 But right now, they're costing Americans over $40 billion.
00:07:44.920 That is more money than Obamacare's tax bill of $34 billion.
00:07:49.820 That is $915 for every American.
00:07:54.300 $2,400 per household.
00:07:57.380 And if the tariffs stay in place, it will cost you $17,300 by 2030.
00:08:06.320 Tariffs are a tax.
00:08:08.320 And they are a tax on you.
00:08:11.280 Americans are already starting to lose their jobs.
00:08:14.800 Please, Mr. President, please stop with the tariffs.
00:08:20.580 The workers of America are begging you.
00:08:25.180 Stop with the tariffs.
00:08:29.640 The best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:08:38.320 It's just an amazing situation that we're lied to every day in the media about.
00:08:45.480 Every day.
00:08:45.920 And they just don't care.
00:08:47.020 I think the media borders on treason.
00:08:50.060 I think it's such a problem.
00:08:52.960 So, wait a minute.
00:08:53.620 Wait, wait.
00:08:53.960 You were a guy who said,
00:08:56.640 I don't like the rhetoric of the press is an enemy of the people.
00:09:04.180 No, I don't.
00:09:05.120 But you're now kind of saying that?
00:09:07.300 I'm now saying.
00:09:07.580 He said bordering.
00:09:08.360 He didn't say it.
00:09:08.960 He said he crossed the border.
00:09:10.320 I mean, they are doing.
00:09:11.500 He's climbing the fence of that border.
00:09:13.180 He's climbing the fence of that border.
00:09:14.500 Yes.
00:09:14.920 All right.
00:09:15.140 They are doing everything they can to deny reality.
00:09:17.480 I know.
00:09:17.860 It's amazing.
00:09:18.380 Everything they can.
00:09:19.420 And to show, it's amazing.
00:09:21.360 Did you guys have the reporter from MSNBC?
00:09:24.460 Yeah.
00:09:24.620 Let's play this real quick.
00:09:25.940 Here's the unreal.
00:09:26.900 Here's the, I tweeted out last night.
00:09:29.360 This will be the last time you see this reporter.
00:09:31.220 That's for sure.
00:09:32.400 Listen to what he said.
00:09:33.720 Because some people look at these images and they listen to the president who says,
00:09:37.480 it's not women and children. 1.00
00:09:38.960 It's stone cold criminals.
00:09:40.960 So, my first question is, you're in that tent camp.
00:09:44.680 Besides that family, give us the profile of who is there mostly.
00:09:48.820 And what are they looking for?
00:09:50.500 You're going to see a lot of families here, a lot of women and children.
00:09:53.800 But the truth is, the majority of the people that are part of this caravan,
00:09:58.360 especially outside, if we can make our way all the way over there,
00:10:01.060 we'll show you the majority of them are men.
00:10:03.380 So, when this becomes a polarized political issue in the United States,
00:10:07.320 you have people on one side that point and say,
00:10:09.980 there are women and children here. 1.00
00:10:11.980 And that is true.
00:10:12.980 And then there are others who point and say,
00:10:14.940 these are men that are trying to cross the border.
00:10:17.700 And that's true, too.
00:10:19.320 From what we've seen, the majority are actually men.
00:10:22.680 And some of these men have not articulated that need for asylum.
00:10:26.460 Instead, they have talked about, you know,
00:10:28.720 going to the United States for a better life and to find work.
00:10:32.040 It's amazing.
00:10:33.120 He actually said it three times.
00:10:35.120 Yeah.
00:10:35.540 That the majority are men.
00:10:38.060 Now, I don't think anybody has ever denied that some women and children are there.
00:10:42.740 I've never denied that.
00:10:43.800 I've never denied it either.
00:10:44.600 The vast majority, however, are men.
00:10:47.600 Yeah.
00:10:48.100 And did you hear how these men were pushing the women and children to the front
00:10:57.380 on the storming of the gates?
00:11:01.160 Yes.
00:11:01.480 They were actually pushing the women and children.
00:11:03.660 It's exactly what happens with Hezbollah and Hamas on the Israeli border. 0.71
00:11:14.360 Sure is.
00:11:14.860 Exactly the same thing.
00:11:16.580 And the photo that you continually see when they rushed the border like that
00:11:20.240 and then had tear gas canisters fired at them was a woman with two children, 1.00
00:11:25.920 one on either side, both in diapers.
00:11:27.800 They're five years old, but for whatever reason, they're in diapers.
00:11:30.520 And that's the image that everybody shows to make you think, oh, my gosh,
00:11:35.380 they're just firing tear gas randomly at women and children.
00:11:38.680 Well, every other person, if you look in the background, is a man.
00:11:43.620 Gee, I can't believe the media found the woman with the children to take the picture of.
00:11:47.120 What a bad luck streak where they wouldn't capture the whole story with their picture.
00:11:51.500 It's so dishonest.
00:11:52.700 And I think it's hurtful to the country.
00:11:54.400 All of it is.
00:11:55.560 Have you seen any coverage on the protests in Tijuana?
00:12:01.200 How about what Luis Alexis Mendoza, a Mexican, said about these people?
00:12:07.660 Here's what he shouted.
00:12:10.300 And a reporter actually from the Los Angeles Times heard him say,
00:12:13.960 this is an invasion.
00:12:15.700 I love that.
00:12:16.460 We demand respect.
00:12:18.680 We demand that our laws be followed.
00:12:21.580 Huh?
00:12:22.120 Wait, what?
00:12:22.960 The mayor of Tijuana has been wearing a make Tijuana great again hat.
00:12:26.740 Try this out.
00:12:28.220 Listen, this is Patricia Reyes.
00:12:31.200 She's a 62-year-old Mexican protester. 1.00
00:12:35.080 She said, we want the caravan to go.
00:12:37.760 They're invading us.
00:12:40.100 They should have come to Mexico correctly, legally.
00:12:43.960 But they came in like animals.
00:12:46.980 This is a Mexican resident.
00:12:49.020 The demonstrators held signs, no illegals, no to the invasion.
00:12:54.860 Amazing.
00:12:55.940 Have you seen any of this on TV?
00:12:57.940 No.
00:12:58.360 They don't show it.
00:12:59.300 They do not show it.
00:13:00.140 The mayor said, Tijuana is a place that welcomes anyone.
00:13:02.920 But you have to have papers.
00:13:04.980 You must identify yourself.
00:13:07.160 Wait.
00:13:07.540 You want your sovereignty respected?
00:13:10.080 Right.
00:13:10.360 I don't understand.
00:13:11.540 We work hard in Tijuana.
00:13:13.340 We don't get handouts.
00:13:15.000 The government shouldn't be giving these things to migrants when there are plenty of Mexicans in a difficult position.
00:13:21.260 Much of the protesters said the migrants should be detained and deported.
00:13:25.540 The mayor also said, I would dare say that not all of them are migrants.
00:13:35.520 Sure, there are some good people in the caravan, but there are many that are bad.
00:13:41.400 What a hater.
00:13:43.020 What a xenophobe.
00:13:44.460 He then said human rights are only for upstanding humans.
00:13:48.360 I don't know if that's true.
00:13:49.800 That's not true.
00:13:52.780 Christian Mendez, a Honduran traveling with his girlfriend, said, I'm not sure what we're going to do.
00:13:59.380 We all know we want to request asylum, but we have heard about the list.
00:14:04.520 We don't know how long it's going to take.
00:14:06.160 We don't know how long there will be food for us to eat.
00:14:09.860 The Tijuana mayor also said, Tijuana is a city of immigrants.
00:14:13.700 But we don't want them in this way.
00:14:16.500 Huh.
00:14:16.760 So you want them to come legally, perhaps?
00:14:19.800 Sure.
00:14:20.300 That's weird.
00:14:21.060 He said it was different with the Haitians.
00:14:23.140 They carried papers.
00:14:24.580 They were in order.
00:14:25.860 It wasn't a horde.
00:14:27.600 Pardon the expression.
00:14:29.080 An invasion?
00:14:30.060 Pardoned.
00:14:30.500 You've been pardoned.
00:14:31.560 It's truly amazing.
00:14:33.520 If you were, for instance, I about lost my mind yesterday with Ms. Cortez and her Holocaust comparisons.
00:14:41.860 Oh my.
00:14:42.720 Yeah.
00:14:43.000 Oh my gosh.
00:14:44.160 Yeah.
00:14:44.500 Oh my gosh.
00:14:45.420 And then Rihanna calling it terrorism because we fired canisters of tear gas.
00:14:50.620 Okay.
00:14:51.120 Everybody who feels that way should have to accept two dozen of these migrants into their home permanently. 1.00
00:14:59.940 I don't know.
00:15:01.180 That's what they're asking America to do.
00:15:03.620 Here's what I think.
00:15:04.280 It's our home.
00:15:04.940 Here's what I think is very, very reasonable.
00:15:07.980 You don't think two dozen is reasonable?
00:15:09.620 No, not necessarily.
00:15:10.480 She's got an 11,000 square foot house. 1.00
00:15:12.140 Here's what I would be happy with.
00:15:13.620 We just go back into your Twitter feed and we find all of the times that you were outraged
00:15:18.000 when the Obama administration was tear gassing people on the border.
00:15:21.620 Oh, can't find it?
00:15:23.080 Shut up. 0.95
00:15:25.140 You know, go back in your Twitter feed when you were outraged that President Obama put people in cages.
00:15:30.520 Can't find it?
00:15:31.740 Shut up. 0.95
00:15:32.880 I am clear I was against that when it was happening.
00:15:37.140 I was talking about it when it was happening.
00:15:38.500 To the point where we went down to the border and brought the kids Christmas presents.
00:15:41.780 Yeah, right.
00:15:42.700 And said, go home now.
00:15:45.220 Go home.
00:15:46.620 I mean, the other thing is I cannot take the lecturing from the left on the Jews and the St. Louis that was turned away.
00:15:59.300 Excuse me.
00:16:00.920 They were going to an extermination camp.
00:16:03.760 That's what fate had in store for them.
00:16:07.900 If you want to talk to me about asylum, then tell me that you have been leading the charge for the Christians and the Yazidis who are being exterminated and enslaved. 0.99
00:16:23.480 Oh, but nobody can talk about having helped those people.
00:16:26.360 No.
00:16:26.780 Right.
00:16:27.300 Well, yeah, we can.
00:16:30.220 They have never said anything about that.
00:16:34.080 That's an actual refugee. 0.55
00:16:36.840 How about Asia Bibi? 0.93
00:16:38.800 Are you talking about bringing her in?
00:16:40.460 Because she is currently in hiding in her own country because she will not say, I reject my faith and I accept Islam.
00:16:52.400 Nobody's taking her.
00:16:53.660 She's being passed around from country to country and nobody's taking her.
00:16:56.860 Where are you on that?
00:16:58.840 If you have said yes to those two things and you're on record, well, then let's talk about let's talk about the immigration status of these people, because I know you're an honest broker.
00:17:10.220 No one in the media is an honest broker on this.
00:17:14.900 No one.
00:17:15.540 And obviously, Pat's two dozen people for Rihanna to take in is a little ridiculous.
00:17:20.500 I would advocate one per thousand square feet of your home.
00:17:24.000 Okay, so you're talking 11 for her.
00:17:25.760 She would take in 11.
00:17:28.220 See, it's not 12.
00:17:29.580 It's not 12.
00:17:30.040 It's ridiculous.
00:17:30.940 It's not 12.
00:17:30.960 You know, two dozen.
00:17:31.940 You're right, Stu.
00:17:32.760 I was a little silly.
00:17:33.560 Can we come to a common sense ground in the middle where Rihanna just accepts 11 migrants? 0.57
00:17:39.680 Yes.
00:17:41.060 Thanks, Pat.
00:17:42.300 Pat Gray Unleashed on the Blaze Radio and TV Network.
00:17:45.560 You can also get it on the podcast as well.
00:17:46.780 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:18:02.320 Like listening to this podcast?
00:18:04.180 If you're not a subscriber, become one now on iTunes.
00:18:07.400 And while you're there, do us a favor and rate the show.
00:18:10.300 This is what the media has said.
00:18:12.860 This is what the media claimed.
00:18:14.780 Uh, this is what the media is still claiming.
00:18:19.480 And let me just take it piece by piece.
00:18:21.120 First of all, the tear gas.
00:18:22.580 We just, we just gave you that.
00:18:24.560 This is exactly the cages.
00:18:26.800 Everybody was outraged that Donald Trump had cages.
00:18:30.320 Well, no, they were built by the Obama administration.
00:18:32.840 In fact, Obama had twice as many children in cages than Donald Trump did.
00:18:38.380 He was actually reducing the number from its high under Barack Obama.
00:18:45.700 Same thing with the gassing.
00:18:47.500 We have pictures.
00:18:49.580 Hmm.
00:18:50.500 That was only for a hundred people.
00:18:52.400 Wow.
00:18:52.980 If they were out of control with a thousand, they were ten times out of control with a hundred.
00:19:02.320 I mean, that's crazy.
00:19:03.440 They only had a hundred back in Obama and he just threw the tear gas.
00:19:06.940 We have to be a welcoming country because we are, we are a welcoming and they are not going to come and push the fences down or climb the walls.
00:19:21.460 Remember Jim Acosta said, Mr. President, you showed in your campaign a video of protesters climbing walls and pushing down fences.
00:19:32.140 And that was racist.
00:19:33.820 No, Jim, that wasn't.
00:19:35.800 That was this group of people entering Mexico.
00:19:41.340 That's what that was.
00:19:42.960 President never said that, but that's what that was.
00:19:47.960 Well, then Jim Acosta says, well, but they're hundreds and hundreds of miles away.
00:19:52.640 They're probably not even going to make it.
00:19:54.620 Well, they did.
00:19:56.540 Shockingly, how did they get here so fast?
00:19:59.820 Because you were right.
00:20:00.880 They were hundreds and hundreds of miles away.
00:20:03.200 And many of them, as you pointed out, were barefoot.
00:20:06.720 Wow.
00:20:07.800 Barefoot.
00:20:08.620 And you made it weeks and weeks and weeks in advance.
00:20:13.820 You must be superhuman or have some assistance from someone.
00:20:20.980 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:20:23.740 These are just good people.
00:20:25.320 They're not going to be climbing the walls.
00:20:27.160 Yes, well, they did.
00:20:28.340 They're not going to be trying to storm the gates.
00:20:31.100 Well, yes, they just did.
00:20:32.700 They're not invaders.
00:20:34.800 And you're a racist for even saying that.
00:20:37.400 Well, wait a minute.
00:20:38.660 That's what Mexicans who were in the streets in Mexico yesterday protesting,
00:20:44.360 protesting their government's response to the migrants, which is just this.
00:20:50.520 You're going to stay here until the Americans process you. 1.00
00:20:56.760 They don't like that.
00:20:58.960 They don't like that at all.
00:21:00.400 Why should we be paying for these people?
00:21:02.600 They didn't come in peacefully.
00:21:04.500 They didn't come in the right way.
00:21:06.520 Well, wait a minute.
00:21:07.480 So are you, are the Mexicans racist against other Hispanics?
00:21:11.600 Or are they just making a point of law and order?
00:21:21.060 Well, they're only talking about this because of the election.
00:21:24.340 That's what CNN said before the election.
00:21:26.420 Well, we're talking about it now.
00:21:28.860 And so what election are we playing for?
00:21:31.780 Wrong again.
00:21:33.580 No Soros connection.
00:21:35.020 You're an anti-Semite if you even bring up Soros's name.
00:21:40.400 Well, I don't know.
00:21:42.560 You might be an anti-Semite if you like Soros or don't like Soros.
00:21:46.940 Talking about Soros does not make you an anti-Semite, either good or bad.
00:21:52.800 Anti-Semitism is hating Jews.
00:21:55.940 That's what that's all about.
00:21:58.140 I don't hate Jews.
00:22:00.260 You know, I have this really weird thing.
00:22:02.600 I think you should get to know people and judge them on the content of their character.
00:22:07.980 Then you can hate them for real legitimate reasons.
00:22:11.880 Why would you just lump everybody in?
00:22:14.380 This is not a difficult distinction.
00:22:16.100 It's really not.
00:22:16.860 If you hate Jews because they're Jews, you're an anti-Semite.
00:22:20.600 If you hate one specific Jew because of his actions unrelated to him being Jewish,
00:22:26.000 or as he seems to claim now an atheist, then you're not a Jewish.
00:22:30.700 You're not an anti-Semite.
00:22:32.340 Okay, so here's the thing.
00:22:34.240 We could have told you that George Soros was behind this whole thing.
00:22:39.700 We could have.
00:22:40.780 We didn't.
00:22:42.120 In fact, we said there's no evidence that we can find any evidence that George Soros is involved.
00:22:48.460 Now, you could assume, because George Soros himself wrote in a Wall Street Journal piece,
00:22:58.060 an op-ed piece, that he was going to spend $500 million on migrant issues.
00:23:04.400 $500 million.
00:23:08.820 Okay, well, maybe he was talking just solely about the European migrants.
00:23:14.420 Maybe that was it.
00:23:15.680 But you could have assumed that some of it was going to go to the migrants here.
00:23:20.680 But we didn't.
00:23:21.740 You could assume that he or his organizations would be funding this based on the fact that they finance the NGOs that organize the April caravan.
00:23:33.460 But we didn't assume.
00:23:36.680 We said no evidence that those people are involved at this time.
00:23:41.980 However, we have heard that once they reach Mexico, if they reach Mexico, then this organization will step in.
00:23:50.380 But that is just what we've heard.
00:23:52.980 They have not stepped in.
00:23:55.300 Well, today it's interesting that you open up the New York Times, and the New York Times is quoting the organizing organization, the NGO.
00:24:08.840 My gosh, it's the same NGO that was not the organizing NGO at the beginning, but is now the organizing NGO.
00:24:18.980 And it's the same one that organized the rally, the caravan in April, funded by George Soros.
00:24:27.600 You won't find the George Soros connection in the New York Times because they're all scared to death of him.
00:24:35.460 But they do point out that they were the ones who organized the caravan last spring.
00:24:40.140 Yeah, they do point that out.
00:24:41.340 They do point that out.
00:24:41.960 All they don't do is just say, and where do you get a lot of your financing?
00:24:45.960 Oh, George Soros organizations.
00:24:49.980 Okay.
00:24:53.280 Then we get to these.
00:24:55.200 We have to be a welcoming country, especially for women and children.
00:25:01.320 Okay.
00:25:02.820 I like consistency.
00:25:05.180 I like consistency of thought.
00:25:07.700 Chaos is not a way to run a country, not a way to run a life.
00:25:14.660 Consistency of thought.
00:25:16.040 If one of your thoughts is inconsistent with another one of your thoughts, one of them is wrong.
00:25:24.700 Or you are deciding to live in conflict.
00:25:29.440 Okay.
00:25:30.000 Because they should all come together.
00:25:34.960 Sometimes they don't, i.e. quantum mechanics.
00:25:39.380 We have to live in that state of, I don't know.
00:25:43.500 It doesn't seem like it would make sense because it violates all the things we thought, but we don't know.
00:25:51.420 I can handle that kind of chaos because you're still searching for the answer.
00:25:58.220 Not when you have the answer.
00:26:00.600 For instance, we must take in women and children who are persecuted.
00:26:06.300 Really?
00:26:07.260 Okay.
00:26:08.460 I believe that.
00:26:10.420 But do you?
00:26:11.440 Because if you do believe that today, could you please show me your Twitter account where you were talking about the women and children who are Christians and Yazidis who have been crucified, tortured, raped up to 20 times a day.
00:26:29.780 Can you please show me where you said we must take these people in?
00:26:33.020 Because the Nazarene Fund has been saying that for a while.
00:26:38.040 We have thousands of people that have gone to other countries, including Australia.
00:26:42.540 Australia has been an amazing country.
00:26:45.260 You know how many of the United States has taken?
00:26:47.380 One.
00:26:48.340 One.
00:26:49.200 These people face death, constant rape, slavery, beheadings.
00:26:56.340 We've taken one.
00:26:58.720 When Ocasio-Cortez said yesterday, oh, this is like the Jews.
00:27:02.800 No, it's not.
00:27:03.780 No.
00:27:04.140 The Christians. 0.69
00:27:05.660 The Christians. 0.69
00:27:06.860 That's like the Jews. 1.00
00:27:08.900 That's like the Jews. 1.00
00:27:10.140 The Christians in the Middle East. 0.80
00:27:11.520 And you're turning them away.
00:27:13.720 You want another example?
00:27:15.180 How about the Uyghurs? 1.00
00:27:16.900 Remember the Uyghurs that we turned over to China? 1.00
00:27:20.820 We turned them over to China. 1.00
00:27:22.400 They were facing execution.
00:27:24.800 We don't have to make this about, we don't have to make this just about Christians or Yazidis or atheists.
00:27:32.200 Let's make this about Muslims. 0.98
00:27:34.220 Can you show me your tweet and your Twitter feed where you are standing up to China and helping expose the one million Muslims that have been rounded up in China merely for being Muslim?
00:27:48.960 If you can show me your Twitter feed, I can have an honest conversation with you because I'll show you mine.
00:27:53.860 But if you only care about women and children today, if you're only caring about the migrants and the oppressed and the, oh, the huddled masses yearning to breathe free today, you have no credibility.
00:28:08.880 You have an agenda.
00:28:10.760 You have an agenda.
00:28:11.400 If you really cared about them, we'd see that action through your own words and works over a long period of time.
00:28:21.600 Now, everybody can change.
00:28:23.140 So if you want to join us with the Nazarene Fund today, you can because those people are enslaved.
00:28:31.520 Enslaved.
00:28:33.060 We're breaking them out.
00:28:35.060 We have a guy today.
00:28:36.380 You want to talk about Central America and South America?
00:28:38.920 We have a guy today that broke up a sex trafficking slavery operation.
00:28:46.300 He is testifying in this country wearing a bulletproof vest on the airplane all week until he gets off.
00:28:57.400 He has to testify against this ring.
00:29:00.400 They are very, very powerful.
00:29:02.880 Please pray for him.
00:29:04.120 He could lose his life because he was freeing slaves in countries like Honduras.
00:29:13.180 If you would like to have some credibility, join us because we're freeing those people.
00:29:20.600 You have no credibility.
00:29:23.000 You only have a political agenda.
00:29:26.720 Well, they're looking for asylum.
00:29:28.120 No, according to NBC's reporter, no, no, many of them are not.
00:29:34.620 In fact, most of them are not.
00:29:37.620 According to the Border Patrol, no.
00:29:42.240 All they have to do is come to the border, raise their hands and say, we need asylum.
00:29:48.060 That's what you have to do to get asylum.
00:29:50.060 You know who tells you that you don't have to get asylum, that you can't do that and get asylum here in America?
00:29:56.700 You know who says that?
00:29:58.160 Drug dealers.
00:29:59.460 The cartels that are making money on being human mules.
00:30:04.900 The people who are making money smuggling people across our border.
00:30:08.920 They're the ones that tell people, oh, no, you can't just cross the border and say you want asylum.
00:30:13.640 They're the ones, oh, well, and the media, oh, and the left, and all of the organizers for the left.
00:30:22.940 They're the ones saying that to people.
00:30:26.060 The truth is, all you have to do is come with your arms raised up and say, I need asylum, and you will be processed.
00:30:33.540 And I'm sorry that there is a process.
00:30:35.680 But the New York Times headline says it all.
00:30:39.400 Today, quote, no clear end to chaos as migrants confront U.S. border.
00:30:49.140 What have I told you for the last seven years would be the word that you need to look for.
00:30:56.100 And you'll know where to stand on the issue when you see this word.
00:31:01.400 Because it is the author of everything that is happening trying to destroy the West.
00:31:07.640 The word is chaos.
00:31:13.300 Chaos.
00:31:14.560 Anything that adds to chaos is not good.
00:31:20.740 Thank you, New York Times.
00:31:22.540 No clear end to chaos as migrants confront the U.S. border.
00:31:27.100 For anyone who is in doubt, chaos.
00:31:30.860 That is the objective of everyone who is trying to take the West apart. 0.99
00:31:38.040 Create chaos.
00:31:39.860 It's all in their own words.
00:31:42.460 You didn't know that?
00:31:43.860 You should read Addicted to Outrage.
00:31:45.840 Because I outline it there clearly.
00:31:48.180 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:32:03.540 When you're writing a book about football, you go right to the guy who knows everything about it, Glenn Beck.
00:32:11.300 That's the first.
00:32:12.260 The literary agents say, you've got to get on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:32:15.260 Number one on the press tour is definitely the first stop you want to do.
00:32:18.520 I have a feeling we're not the number one stop.
00:32:21.740 But we're thrilled to have a couple of guests talking about the new book, Brainwashed, the bad science behind CTE and the plot to destroy football.
00:32:30.700 Yeah, very cool.
00:32:31.320 Dr. Peter Cummings, who's a board-certified forensic neuropathologist.
00:32:34.960 I'm never going to be able to say that.
00:32:35.900 Pathologist.
00:32:36.420 Pathologist, thank you.
00:32:37.340 And also, of course, Merrill Hodge, who everybody knows except for Glenn because Glenn doesn't know anything about sports.
00:32:42.140 But if he did, he would know.
00:32:43.540 But I would look at him in this well-tailored suit and say, you were a professional athlete.
00:32:48.560 He identifies athletes by the fashion.
00:32:50.760 No, no, no.
00:32:51.500 By the – he has to have that one specially cut because his shoulders are big and his waist is a little tight.
00:32:58.940 He's in good, good shape.
00:33:00.660 Thank you guys for doing this.
00:33:01.560 This is a really interesting topic.
00:33:04.200 The book, Brainwashed, is, I think, really important from the perspective of it.
00:33:09.600 It gives a little bit more context into a story that people have followed very loosely, I think.
00:33:16.640 You know, I think – I was joking before we came on the air that, you know, most people's understanding of this issue starts with Will Smith was a doctor.
00:33:23.780 And Will Smith actually was not a doctor.
00:33:25.540 He played that in – he was in a movie.
00:33:27.340 The movie was Concussion.
00:33:28.680 And I think that set the narrative for CTE and the NFL.
00:33:32.480 So let me take this because I'm not a football fan, and I have been following this, I think, like the average American who is not a big fan.
00:33:40.840 So let's start with – let's start with this.
00:33:42.940 And I may be below the average American.
00:33:45.400 Okay.
00:33:46.460 CTE is caused by repeated injury to the head because you guys are knocking heads over and over again.
00:33:55.080 The NFL knew about this.
00:33:58.040 You know, people are, you know, turning into vegetables.
00:34:00.720 They didn't care.
00:34:02.760 They hid all of this science from people.
00:34:05.660 And now people like you are out.
00:34:08.180 And we don't know if you have – do you have any of the signs of CTE?
00:34:12.580 Well, they don't know really what the signs are, symptoms are, to be honest.
00:34:16.000 If we go back to everything that you just mentioned there, actually, we are here because you're global.
00:34:22.120 And this actual message is global.
00:34:23.920 It's not just football.
00:34:24.920 You know, I tell people my first – my son's first concussion ever slipped in a shower.
00:34:31.700 Okay, now it's four days before his first bowl game ever, but he's now ineligible to play even though the concussion was not in an athletic environment or, say, practice in football.
00:34:41.180 He slipped in a shower.
00:34:42.720 Because for an hour I was trying to get – now, Bo, of all the things that you could have done, how did – and he's the best athlete I've ever seen.
00:34:51.120 How did you slip in a shower?
00:34:52.060 And now he can't play.
00:34:54.460 He can't play.
00:34:55.260 I mean, that's just – but concussions and head trauma happen –
00:34:58.520 All the time.
00:34:59.180 All the time in all kinds of environments.
00:35:01.240 It's not just an athletic environment.
00:35:03.320 So there are so many things that you said right there, and you say, you know, repetitive head injuries cause it.
00:35:09.480 Okay, there's no scientific evidence of that.
00:35:12.020 But in the media, they have – they used words like linked, cause.
00:35:17.620 There's not one piece of scientific literature that has those words in it, linked or cause.
00:35:23.020 So wait, is there any – is there any statistical proof that shows this happens to more football players than the average society?
00:35:31.980 Well, the issue is this, and the questions you're asking are great because they're the same questions we asked each other.
00:35:38.240 You know, I – you know, Meryl's a former NFL player, but I grew up loving football.
00:35:42.560 But I banned it in my house because I didn't want my son to play it because I'd seen this narrative that was being broadcast.
00:35:49.800 And this is your expertise.
00:35:51.180 And this is my expertise, right?
00:35:52.680 So when my son became interested in football, I took it upon myself to sit down proactively and go through the science and then look at the sport and see how that had changed.
00:36:02.120 And one of the things you start to notice is this narrative now that is sort of believed that if you play football, you're inevitably going to get concussions.
00:36:11.420 You're inevitably going to get CTE.
00:36:13.560 You're inevitably going to become suicidal, depressed, anxious, and demented.
00:36:19.200 And that just doesn't exist scientifically.
00:36:21.020 If you actually look at the mortality studies that have been done on – and this is NFL players, so it's really hard to bring this back to youth football players because 99% of the football players in this country are not going to play beyond high school.
00:36:33.540 So you'll see that NFL players live longer.
00:36:36.900 They have longer lifespans.
00:36:38.040 They have healthier lifestyles.
00:36:39.780 They have lower rates of – of suicide rates and homicide rates that are a fraction of the general population.
00:36:47.220 They have arrest rates that are lower than the general population.
00:36:50.460 I told you that's not the image that you think of now in the NFL.
00:36:52.580 Because you see it on TV, and they're superstars.
00:36:55.660 I mean, these are gods to us in our society.
00:36:58.400 So if you hear it –
00:36:59.140 You would even think that you could explain some suicide from – I mean, people identify with, what am I going to do with my life?
00:37:07.360 If you've wanted to play football your whole life, and then it's over, you can really go – that could really screw with somebody's head, even if you've not been hit in the head.
00:37:16.060 Well, you know, I try to use this with people to make them understand that.
00:37:19.160 Now, Glenn, I know you've been doing this for a long, long time.
00:37:21.120 Let's just say something happens to you, and I'm saying you can never do radio or TV again.
00:37:25.440 You're dying.
00:37:25.700 Now, that right there can put you in a depressive state.
00:37:29.420 That transition to, you know, what we call – Chuck Knoll was the greatest man I've ever been around, greatest leader and coach.
00:37:35.500 He used to always talk to us about our life's work.
00:37:38.420 He's like, men, it's not football.
00:37:40.160 You know, get your education.
00:37:41.680 Use the relationships.
00:37:42.820 You're going to have to do something else with your life's work.
00:37:45.540 Well, when you transition from football to your life's work, that's not easy for any football player.
00:37:53.140 And I think the more that football was your life and the more you really worked on your life's work, that bridge over there, the bigger the struggle is, the longer that can take.
00:38:04.140 And then you add the things that we know cause – they have connections with our mental health, cancers, and every cardiovascular disease is drugs, alcohol, opioids, obesity, sugar, inflammation.
00:38:20.040 Those are all lifestyle choices that are scientific evidence.
00:38:24.080 They contribute to all the things I just mentioned.
00:38:26.700 Well, we control those choices.
00:38:28.340 Those aren't things like age or genetics where nobody can control age.
00:38:33.660 Nobody can really – if there's a genetic link, knowing it's good to me so I can be proactive, but I can't change my genetics.
00:38:40.120 They are my facts.
00:38:41.340 But a majority of all the things that create a lot of the cognitive brain health issues we have stems from all those things I just said, drugs, alcohol, opioids, inflammation, sugar, all of those things which are a lifestyle choice.
00:38:54.140 So – and again, excuse me for just being a regular layperson on this, I haven't paid attention, but are you saying that getting hit in the head did not increase the problems with people like Muhammad Ali?
00:39:11.380 Well, I think there's a difference between that because if you look kind of historically at this CTE science, the first original cases were from the 20s in boxers, and these were guys that boxed all year.
00:39:26.140 And after they finished their whatever tournament or whatever they were doing their season, they would go box in carnivals.
00:39:32.860 They would do sideshows.
00:39:35.160 So it was a constant thing.
00:39:36.740 So we know that there's a real thing that happens with boxers.
00:39:41.820 It has to be.
00:39:42.540 And it's been really well described in the literature.
00:39:45.160 And there's – so if you want to bring it up to football, I mean, nobody's going to say that hitting your head is okay one time or a hundred times.
00:39:52.940 And we do a lot of things to try to prevent that.
00:39:55.260 But that's not the same as boxing.
00:39:56.700 That's not the same as boxing.
00:39:57.780 And so if you look at the boxing population of people and what their brains kind of look like when they looked at them in the autopsies versus what the football players' brains look like, they have different pathologies in them.
00:40:11.080 And there are some people in Europe and Britain that say, you know, CTE doesn't exist outside of boxing.
00:40:15.700 The Americans are cuckoo. 1.00
00:40:16.700 You know, so we're not really sure.
00:40:18.940 And Merrill has said it so perfectly a million times, I'm going to steal his line, that with CTE, we don't know what causes it and we don't know what it causes.
00:40:27.840 And I think that is where the science is right now.
00:40:30.900 And you know something that I think – it was really the final spark that drove this book is when I went from neuropathologists and neuropathologists in this country and Canada.
00:40:40.100 And they all kept coming back to, guys, we don't – it's an observation state.
00:40:44.940 We do not know anything beyond that.
00:40:47.180 We have cases where they never played football.
00:40:49.540 We have cases where they have no history of head trauma.
00:40:51.660 They never played sports.
00:40:52.960 I'm like, well, time out.
00:40:54.140 If you have cases where you didn't even play sports and they have this pattern and they had no history of head trauma, how can we only hear about football ones and sports ones?
00:41:05.860 And now people think it's only in that arena when we have all these cases outside that arena.
00:41:12.040 And that's when the discrepancy of what science really says versus what we see in the media was so grotesquely off that I just believed that people needed all the information to understand the science, to help them with the choices that they're making with their families and their kids.
00:41:28.140 I did an interview with Dr. David Chow from San Diego.
00:41:30.860 He's a former head doctor of the San Diego Chargers and now does a lot of NFL injury stuff.
00:41:37.580 And talking to him was fascinating because it was the first exposure I ever had to any skepticism from the idea that you go in the NFL, you get CTE.
00:41:45.640 That's pretty much what the media says.
00:41:46.940 And he said there's much more that we don't know about CTE than we do know.
00:41:53.100 He talked about, is this true?
00:41:54.920 I mean, is it hereditary?
00:41:58.140 Is it other people in other sports and other professions?
00:42:02.500 What do we know?
00:42:03.920 What is the actual facts?
00:42:05.940 Well, let me just tell you this, and Dr. Cummings will build on this in a much better way.
00:42:11.220 But when you start, when I ask these neuropathologists about, you know, the pattern, since it's an observation state, you don't know what causes it.
00:42:18.560 You don't know what it causes, and they start sharing all of these cases where, you know, they find the pattern in somebody who never played football, you know, never had a history of concussion, never had a head trauma.
00:42:29.640 There's a four-month-old and a one-year-old that have found the pattern in.
00:42:33.820 Well, right there, you can't obviously blame sports or football, right?
00:42:39.440 But what was interesting in some of the literature, like even the science papers, if you read the science papers, there's clarity there, too, that they don't know.
00:42:49.100 They say it a hundred times in the paper, we don't know, we don't know.
00:42:51.800 But those people who wrote the paper are the ones that are in the media giving you the quotes where, oh, I've got to believe everybody has this that's played football.
00:43:00.760 How is it that you, because didn't you earlier say we don't even know really what it is?
00:43:05.880 You don't know, I mean, how do you, what are the symptoms?
00:43:08.940 Well, nobody knows.
00:43:10.120 Science hasn't been able to get that answer yet.
00:43:12.100 So how do we know what, you know, when you say babies had it, how do we know if there's no set of...
00:43:17.480 Good question.
00:43:18.160 You know, there's outside in the kind of football world, CTE papers, there's, and this is something you touched on a second ago, the voices of skepticism.
00:43:28.580 When I started this journey for myself, you know, I thought it was Don Quixote swinging at windmills.
00:43:34.280 You know, am I the only person that sees that this isn't matching up?
00:43:38.000 And that's not how you started.
00:43:39.380 That's not how I started.
00:43:40.160 I started with not wanting my kid to even watch football on TV.
00:43:42.600 So when I started doing some research on my own, looking these papers up, I found people like Dr. Chow, who's a fantastic guy.
00:43:50.820 We've talked a couple of times.
00:43:52.360 And I found out that, you know, a lot of the people, majority of the people in my neurotrauma world feel the same way I do, have the same opinion that I have about this.
00:44:01.180 And so they're, one of the things we try to talk about in this book is try to show that research that's out there that contradicts a lot of the things that we've taken to be truth about CTE.
00:44:11.880 So when you start looking, you find these cases of people who have never played football that have CTE, like this one epilepsy case series that had a one-year-old, a four-month-old, I think two one-year-olds.
00:44:25.940 You know, how do they have, and they have temporal lobe resections.
00:44:29.100 They take out a piece of temporal lobe out of their brains, and you look at them under the microscope for this protein tau, which we all have.
00:44:36.140 It's a normal protein that helps stabilize nerve cells, but if something happens to the nerve cell, the tau becomes what's called hyperphosphorylated.
00:44:45.320 A lot of phosphate groups get stuck on it, it gets sticky.
00:44:48.580 And so they found this same pattern in these children and in all of the epileptic cases that they looked at who had never played contact sports.
00:44:58.080 So when you start looking at these cases and you have to say, well, did they even have symptoms of CTE or what we think might be symptoms of CTE?
00:45:06.440 They didn't.
00:45:07.540 So we haven't been able to figure any of that out yet in science.
00:45:10.100 All we know is we have this pattern.
00:45:12.380 And like I said, we don't know what causes it, and we don't know what it causes.
00:45:15.940 Well, there's a lot of money at stake for, you know, against the NFL.
00:45:24.500 The NFL is spending a lot of money to try to help people along, are they not?
00:45:30.700 Actually, but see, the NHL and the NFL have already settled.
00:45:33.960 So, like, people ask me this, well, what will NFL players say about your book?
00:45:37.400 I'm like, wouldn't you want to know the truth?
00:45:39.860 I mean, at the end of the day, wouldn't you want to know all of the facts, everything, somebody to do the work and explain it to you?
00:45:45.020 And then, listen, I'm not telling you to like football.
00:45:47.100 I'm not telling you how you should change your mind.
00:45:49.680 I'm just asking you to open your mind to all of the information you use how you want.
00:45:54.040 Well, the settlement for NHL and the NFL is done.
00:45:56.740 Now, what people don't know, it's settled with unsettled science.
00:46:00.900 The science is not confirmed one way or the other.
00:46:03.140 It's just settled.
00:46:04.260 So, this has no bearing on it.
00:46:06.260 The NFL got nailed a billion dollars.
00:46:07.740 That billion dollars is for players and health issues, cognitive health issues,
00:46:13.100 which is, I could do a whole other show on just how much money is going to be sitting there going to waste
00:46:18.360 when it could go to other things that were football-related.
00:46:21.380 And the NHL did the same thing.
00:46:22.800 So, it's over.
00:46:24.020 So, this is not going to change any of that.
00:46:25.900 They're not going to go back to court and go, hey, we read the book Brainwashed,
00:46:29.640 and I think we've got to make them prove the science before we settle.
00:46:33.540 Right.
00:46:33.840 Because nobody can prove the science.
00:46:35.380 That's just a problem.
00:46:36.180 You can't prove it because there's no science there for it.
00:46:39.980 But being just settled.
00:46:42.120 So, if it doesn't affect any of that, your main motivation for writing the book is?
00:46:48.540 Families.
00:46:49.380 Kids.
00:46:49.880 Kids.
00:46:50.040 My passion for kids.
00:46:51.160 My passion for youth football.
00:46:52.140 That's why I went.
00:46:53.280 In 2009, I was the first person, player, coach, parent, dad, that stood in front of Congress
00:46:58.860 and go, listen, my career ended because of this in 1994.
00:47:02.620 We changed what we do in the NFL.
00:47:04.240 Okay.
00:47:04.660 This is 2009.
00:47:05.920 I'm in front of Congress.
00:47:07.000 We're doing stuff in the NFL, NCAA.
00:47:08.840 Ninety-nine percent of our football players are ages 8 to 18, and we're doing nothing there.
00:47:14.760 Let's establish a protocol, and actually what I challenged them to do with all of sports, because what I'd found out, even to that point, I'd been implementing a head trauma protocol in my youth program for years, that if we do these things, if your son or daughter has any type of head trauma in any environment, do the one thing that's most important.
00:47:33.740 Remove them from that environment and don't let them return.
00:47:35.940 If you just do that.
00:47:37.580 So your son's never showered.
00:47:40.840 You know what?
00:47:42.160 That's a great point.
00:47:43.560 It's a humorous side, but a realistic one.
00:47:46.360 It could happen anywhere in our life.
00:47:48.000 So wouldn't it be better to know about it?
00:47:49.600 So you remove them.
00:47:50.720 And you know what?
00:47:51.740 Evaluate them.
00:47:52.280 If you need to get them to a neuropathologist or a medical professional to be evaluated before they return to that activity, that's the best thing and safest thing you can do for your kids.
00:48:00.440 So at least do that for them.
00:48:02.240 So that's why I went to Congress.
00:48:03.440 Can we do that?
00:48:04.280 Can we get a protocol to really help create a safer environment for our kids when they're being active?
00:48:10.720 It's fascinating, too.
00:48:11.700 I am going to talk to him about that shower deal.
00:48:13.320 The way they've gone after the NFL, I think, has been interesting in this because the way they portray it is this doctor from Nigeria comes up.
00:48:22.440 He discovers this, goes to the NFL, proves it to them.
00:48:25.320 They ignore it because they want money.
00:48:28.080 Now, in reality, they have some of the top doctors there.
00:48:30.220 There was disagreement at the time and still is to some level.
00:48:34.920 Not to some level.
00:48:36.060 There seems to be a lot.
00:48:37.180 Major disagreement.
00:48:38.820 But was there a time that they didn't act fast enough?
00:48:41.520 Did they slow play this at all?
00:48:43.560 Well, here's where you – actually, my career and my history is interwoven in all of those people.
00:48:49.600 Dr. Rune and Dr. Lovell were the first group of doctors to ever do cognitive testing in 1991
00:48:54.140 before any neuropathologist, neurologist in the world was even thinking of doing something like that for sports
00:48:58.880 because Chuck Knoll challenged them to give him subjective and objective information, not just one.
00:49:05.240 Give me two.
00:49:05.820 That's why that test was created.
00:49:08.120 30 seconds here before we get rid of it.
00:49:09.340 If you look at my career, what they got nailed for was not reacting quick enough.
00:49:14.900 It wasn't like they're hiding stuff.
00:49:16.580 They just choose.
00:49:17.920 They didn't react fast enough.
00:49:19.380 They didn't get the cognitive test established quick enough.
00:49:22.380 It wasn't like they knew something that everybody else didn't know.
00:49:24.780 It's not like the tobacco industry.
00:49:26.660 Nothing like that.
