00:00:18.720
just the conversation just the part about the history of lynching uh because you can't say
00:00:23.460
that word now uh and by the way we debunk that also uh the frenchy frenchman uh mitt romney
00:00:29.920
what a coward uh what it's uh what's happening in the life of matt lauer john ziegler is on he just
00:00:38.160
sat down with him all day yesterday and he's like i think i think rowan farrow is the bad guy here
00:00:44.880
it's an unbelievable interview as is the interview with steven crowder all of it on today's big show
00:00:52.040
podcast you're listening to the best of the blend back program
00:01:03.980
you know another place that it's cold is uh in the dnc right now they're like ah
00:01:13.800
ah ah this could be mcgovern this could be like a massive massive loss really you think
00:01:23.080
do you think well you'd think if you were confident in a victory you wouldn't need impeachment
00:01:30.240
right if you thought that the american people would see things the same way you see them
00:01:36.160
why would you bother with all of this yeah you wouldn't you wouldn't do it you just win
00:01:40.180
you'd be like it doesn't matter he's gonna he's not gonna be around long anyway they have zero
00:01:46.340
confidence in a win which is amazing i mean like look for all the things there are things that we
00:01:51.220
really like that trump has done but it's not as if he's an invincible poll machine it's not like
00:01:57.640
you're looking at you know uh reagan 84 here no you're not it's not like you're looking at looking
00:02:03.760
looking at a guy who is wounded he's wounded and he is also a guy who a lot of people didn't like
00:02:11.660
yeah a lot of people didn't like a lot of people still don't like and and you haven't found anyone
00:02:18.460
on your side that can beat him they all that's incredible it seems like they do see the vulnerability
00:02:24.780
here and you know we've talked about the impeachment thing as a tactic when it comes to uh you know we go
00:02:32.620
back to clinton and people say well that didn't work eventually clinton leaves office in a very
00:02:39.720
popular state um but i think what what what a lot of people have not looked at here is that it's never
00:02:46.220
really been tested this way it's never really been tested impeachment before an election no it's always
00:02:52.800
been in the second term at least in modern times for sure after the person got re-elected right like
00:02:59.500
nixon you know had a landslide election for 48 or 49 states uh 49 i don't know i think it was i think
00:03:08.220
it was 49 um 49 states he wins it's an absolute landslide and he comes in and think of that moment
00:03:15.420
like is that moment even possible today in 49 states and people start looking at this information and
00:03:20.980
slowly the polls move and and they change and they flip from him being incredibly popular to being
00:03:26.420
incredibly unpopular and then he resigns before him i think if it wasn't for impeachment uh because
00:03:33.320
the polls strangely are moving in that direction if it wasn't for this impeachment process i think
00:03:38.520
he could have done 49 states um meaning 48 maybe 48 are you talking about trump trump i think come on
00:03:48.980
i don't see any i mean look you never know but i don't see any polling that would support that
00:03:53.900
you're not elizabeth warren head to head i mean like you're not gonna get there's there's 20 states
00:03:59.580
that are never gonna vote for a republican right now like they're never gonna vote for a republican
00:04:03.100
elizabeth warren you're gonna go in and win rhode island with donald trump you have you're gonna go
00:04:07.660
win you're not gonna win those states if you have okay all right so let's say let's say
00:04:11.580
let's say 40 40 states 35 states landslide in today's world landslide if you had elizabeth warren
00:04:23.940
yeah who is talking about yeah we're gonna get rid of the free market and yeah babies can be killed
00:04:30.200
after birth all of these things the the average the average democrat would look at that as you're
00:04:38.320
standing in the in the polling booth and you'd be like i just can't i just can't do it they are
00:04:46.900
they know this there's a why there's a group of people that you're i think you're right on and and
00:04:52.460
it's the group of people that changed the election for donald trump last time yes it's the people that
00:04:57.360
voted for barack obama no but still now it was to trump in 2016 it was still hillary clinton and
00:05:05.360
people didn't like her because she was corrupt they still saw her more in the vein of her or of
00:05:11.660
her husband that you know the clintons it was fine under the clintons you know what i mean they saw her
00:05:18.760
as corrupt and that's what they didn't like but they didn't see her as who she i think really is a
00:05:23.920
sololinskyite that wants you know wants to fundamentally change america these people are no
00:05:31.460
they're saying they're like yeah you know another thing i think we red white and blue who's sick of
00:05:38.020
that because i'm sick of it what do you say we have black and red is our flag red and yellow anyone
00:05:43.920
i've got a cool you ever see a hammer and a sickle intertwined i mean it's crazy no i know and i think
00:05:50.720
that that i do think the group is larger than last time with a person like elizabeth warren and it's
00:05:55.740
funny that how the democrats have quote unquote learned their lesson from last time hey let's run the
00:06:00.100
exact same candidate except more socialist yeah more overtly socialist than the last one so the
00:06:05.460
people in the middle can't bring themselves to vote for the person even if they don't like the way
00:06:11.160
things are going i mean this is what is being said in their press no it's true but it's that does not
00:06:17.040
mean you get to 49 states i mean like you are not that is not a borderline thing we're talking about
00:06:22.880
we are way too partisan uh at this point for that type of election um with the exception of some
00:06:30.780
massive event that we're not factoring in i mean you know we let's get rid of all health insurance
00:06:37.940
no private health insurance you look at those things and those things poll let's say they're
00:06:43.300
not popular by the way we should point out that medicare for all as a policy is not popular
00:06:47.180
um even among democrats it's not all that popular however uh there are still plenty of voters to win
00:06:54.580
20 states that like medicare for all and when you and you get it to medicare for all who want it it
00:07:01.300
winds up being relatively popular that is not something that i think is a sane policy certainly
00:07:06.440
not something that we can afford i don't know if anyone has an extra 30 40 trillion laying around if
00:07:11.420
you do let me know but it is a it is i think we are part the partisan divide is wide enough and the
00:07:19.660
voting splits in a lot of these states is wide enough that like you know if you had the best
00:07:24.200
democrat in the world some you know an incredible candidate and you had the worst republican in the
00:07:29.020
world like they're still not winning utah they're still not winning wyoming that's just not gonna happen
00:07:36.260
in a presidential election at this time these were you know reagan was the last one really who was
00:07:42.280
able to do this nixon before i mean i think you're right about that because we have proof mitt romney
00:07:47.060
wins in utah and he's probably one of the worst republicans i've ever seen he won with 61 of the vote
00:07:53.740
in that election yeah he's this guy is he's sad he's sad i feel sorry for mitt romney what is sad
00:08:03.220
about a guy who was pretty close to being president of the united states feeling the need to hide on
00:08:08.640
twitter yeah what is sad about that here's a guy here's a guy who said i could be president of the
00:08:15.300
united states and i'll stand up for what i what i believe really will ya here's a guy who ran bain
00:08:22.160
capital who has i don't know hundreds of millions of dollars it has a great family is loved in his state
00:08:32.060
one with 61 of the vote is a respected guy and he doesn't have the courage to voice his opinion on twitter
00:08:44.600
what a coward what a sad pathetic life i i don't understand it i mean look the things he would put on his
00:08:55.460
little account there were generally it's not like he was like uh but he also picked a french name
00:09:01.740
it's like french the french surrender to our ship there's no one on the ship it's just just
00:09:10.200
you know get a tugboat take one of our carriers over to france they'll surrender to the ship i mean
00:09:15.680
really it's pathetic it's right surrender is a great way he's surrendered essentially to twitter
00:09:20.560
oh my gosh he's embarrassed like he can't deal with the ramifications of his own opinions
00:09:26.140
this is a man who wanted to be president of the united states how sad and pathetic i you know
00:09:31.320
i just i feel sorry for him i feel sorry for him i feel sorry that he is so worried that he that he's
00:09:41.420
just going to be unpopular with somebody that he just can't really say what he believes i mean and
00:09:47.560
listen to what he does say so can you imagine how far out of the mainstream he really is if this is
00:09:55.940
his oh i'm i'm gonna say these things those things are not popular with conservatives is he just i mean
00:10:03.580
you look at the stuff he liked i mean it was you know certainly anti-trump pro-romney content but it
00:10:12.620
wasn't like he was you know i really like this content from elizabeth warren right i mean like
00:10:18.140
he's liking you know i don't know because i don't know who the guy is he's hiding behind
00:10:21.740
mr french frenchman right so i have no idea he may be a french spy i don't know but it's sad
00:10:28.280
imagine being a spy for france um let me just give you this one one quote here um there is speculation
00:10:37.160
i love this that hillary clinton uh may may run uh for the the the be the nominee of the party
00:10:47.800
those close to clinton speaking on the condition of amenity uh because they were not authorized to
00:10:53.580
comment on her behalf says that she has felt vindicated over the past few weeks after trump's
00:10:59.160
political difficulties and that sentiment was reinforced when the state department announced
00:11:03.420
its probe into email sent by her private server blah blah blah ultimately said one of the insiders
00:11:10.020
it's unlikely that she would run but put it this way it ain't zero and does she think about it all
00:11:17.800
the time i'm quoting and does she think about it all the time absolutely and quote hang on we have
00:11:26.200
pierre on the phone yes oh mr dick yes pierre yes i believe i heard you talking uh about hillary
00:11:39.080
clinton uh yes we were just talking about hillary if she does run for president what about vice president
00:11:46.000
mit romney would be perfect this is mit romney isn't it this is right okay thank you very much
00:11:55.380
thank you pierre the best of the glenn beck program
00:12:01.380
hey it's glenn and you're listening to the glenn beck program if you like what you're hearing on
00:12:11.940
this show make sure you check out pat gray unleashed it's available wherever you download your favorite
00:12:17.880
podcasts so i don't know if this is actually nick de paulo uh from nick dip.com uh or if it is his
00:12:28.120
his uh his french uh you know uh pseudo uh pseudonym here uh uh like mit romney i don't know do you have
00:12:38.600
one of those or because he was mit romney is so brave he's willing to hide behind a french alias on twitter
00:12:47.000
you know he's the biggest disappointment i actually believed in that stiff i did two years
00:12:54.000
ago i did too you know i saw a documentary i go he's a good family man yep he's very bright he destroyed
00:13:00.020
obama and those debates and you know even the second one i i think he won but but anyways uh but
00:13:08.440
now he's just it turns out he's just another backstabbing two-faced uh gop relic it's he really
00:13:16.060
he really disappointed me that's why i'm voting for a liz warren
00:13:18.880
okay so what do you think the odds are that hillary clinton is did you see the quote i gave it earlier
00:13:27.040
there was a quote from somebody on her staff that said look i'm i don't think this is going to happen
00:13:31.840
is it possible yes it does she think about it all the time absolutely that's a quote does she think
00:13:40.720
about it all the time is that news no it's not this power hungry she's the most disgusting person
00:13:49.120
on the planet she's a sellout she was part of the lib revolution and and became a corporate shill
00:13:54.320
she slept with a guy who was very important and that's how she got to the top there's nothing
00:13:58.760
authentic about her she discussed me of course she's thinking about it and uh she's out there
00:14:04.240
touting her book with her daughter they had 11 people i think at the uh barnes and noble in san
00:14:09.980
antonio uh i have so i have so much to say about uh you know who would buy her book i thought i was
00:14:17.740
reading i bought it did you yes i did i took a shotgun in my backyard hanging up on my shed yeah right
00:14:25.460
through the eyes oh i uh i i tell you i i i thought who is paying her for another book and
00:14:32.360
then i realized oh crap it's simon and schuster the people who i'm publishing my last book with
00:14:37.640
so i'll save my there glenn i'll save my commentary and uh for a while what's it like to write a book i
00:14:44.860
can't even push out a pamphlet it's a nightmare it's a nightmare i'm in the middle i'm in the middle of
00:14:50.340
the final thing and i just said to somebody you know i know authors and they all say i can't talk
00:14:55.700
to anybody for like six months i've got to do all my jobs and write the book i have been sequestered
00:15:03.660
for the last few days except for this trying to get uh trying to get the final part on the book but
00:15:09.720
it's it's really good this one is about socialism and and elizabeth warren and aoc and all that you know
00:15:16.880
a lot about that didn't you spend your honeymoon in cuba was that you no that wasn't strangely
00:15:21.160
strangely not so uh uh let's go through some of the uh news of the day uh first of all the lynching
00:15:28.400
thing oh jeez please i and i was watching your friend hillary there she does a story she does a
00:15:36.260
story on uh you know biden and all these democrats back in the day using the lynching term then her next
00:15:41.840
story is about alzheimer's they have a new test for it i say they give it to the democrat party
00:15:46.820
and biden and uh and may i say the media did you see do we have the thing we played a little while
00:15:53.060
ago the ali velger thing from cnn please play this for so nick can see that this is crazy
00:15:58.900
that they all have amnesia or alzheimer's and they can't remember that the reason why they made
00:16:08.380
bill clinton the first black president was because they said his uh impeachment
00:16:15.500
was a lynching a modern day lynching here's here is msnbc yesterday trying to teach people
00:16:24.600
what lynchings really are listen to this president trump invoked lynching today when talking about
00:16:31.600
the constitutionally protected impeachment inquiry he said quote all republicans must remember what
00:16:37.460
they are witnessing here a lynching let's be clear lynchings were terrorism plain and simple slaughter
00:16:44.280
used to testify to terrify african i can't i can't take it nick i can't take it thank you for educating
00:16:51.640
me msnbc i had no idea that lynching was terrorism i'm sick of calling here's the problem glenn we always
00:17:00.220
call out the double standards i know i can't take it anymore but we do nothing about it i know
00:17:04.840
they're double and triple standards but we do nothing so what are we gonna do what do you do
00:17:09.340
what do you suggest oh okay let's change it now it's a raping it does that make you feel bad it's
00:17:14.140
not a lynching it's a rape i mean this whole thing where you can't use terms you know from back in the
00:17:19.380
day because i'm afraid to buy cool whip because you can't use slavery terms and and and you know we are
00:17:27.400
we are getting okay so i agree with you i come in every day every day i come in and i'm like i don't
00:17:34.740
want to talk about the double standard because it's just but then you just look at the news and
00:17:39.800

senator would you rule it out or you'd say i'd like to see the evidence i want to see you the case
00:22:41.360
or would you just rule it out i fight like the democrats i fight 30 i'd go i i rule it out i
00:22:47.080
wouldn't even think twice but this is all kabuki theater anyways glenn yeah let me ask you this okay
00:22:51.920
as from my understanding of impeachment if it passes in the house then the senate if there's an
00:22:57.820
impeachment trial becomes the jury yes this is how it works right you really think the republicans
00:23:03.380
are gonna convict trump and cut their own political throats and then no longer exist as a party
00:23:09.600
this is all but this is all symbolic on nancy pelosi's part and shift to cancers and blights
00:23:15.840
on this country it's all kabuki theater he's not going to get impeached just for that reason he's
00:23:21.920
actually i actually senate controls the the republicans control the senate what are we talking about here
00:23:27.140
wasting our time if it goes to the senate in a way i actually would like to see it go through
00:23:32.980
because they can call witnesses the other side and and if they're smart they turn this whole thing
00:23:39.080
around because the senate will the trump could make his case uh that is uh that i think is very very
00:23:48.260
clear that the media is just not covering bill o'reilly thinks i'm wrong on that because he said
00:23:53.420
nobody is gonna nobody's gonna watch it but i think people would i mean everybody watched the oj trial
00:23:59.820
everybody watched the impeachment of bill clinton i think they're gonna watch this yeah they also
00:24:05.440
watched american idol in record numbers and i'll be too sure i mean yeah yeah if this if there's
00:24:10.280
something on a and e that night but you're right uh about the kardashians it'll be uh neck and neck
00:24:16.420
that's why we're in this soup let me uh let me get your thoughts on this a new bill brought by a
00:24:21.560
massachusetts state legislature uh would make it a crime to maliciously call somebody excuse the
00:24:29.740
expression a bitch within the commonwealth that's the reason i moved out of massachusetts a couple
00:24:35.940
weeks ago i use that term a lot no you got that you got the three kids in connecticut who were
00:24:42.540
yelling racial slurs did you see that they got arrested yeah yelling racial so they got arrested
00:24:48.840
they were yelling so they were yelling the n-word uh in public but around a college campus and it
00:24:54.100
was fascinating the washington post wrote a whole story about it and at no point did they bring up
00:24:58.140
the first amendment question here can you get arrested for saying a word did you notice that
00:25:03.560
ali velchi what what he said on that msnbc thing the first thing he said was the constitutionally
00:25:10.140
protected impeachment it's the only time those guys ever talk about constitution oh yeah only time
00:25:15.940
only time well the other time they talk about it they say it's a living and breathing document
00:25:20.820
and i wish they i wish they felt that way about nine month old fetuses
00:25:33.000
what is a what's the life of a comedian really like my son wants to be a comedian
00:25:39.920
and uh he's not i suggest you find a methadone clinic real soon well it depends on what level
00:25:48.660
you're at it's it's uh it's fun when you're in your 20s you're on the road getting stds in every
00:25:54.800
city and you can laugh about it uh you know that part's fun then you hit your 30s and you're like
00:25:59.820
checking into the holiday express and and cleveland again for the eighth time and you're like do i really
00:26:05.060
want to see the bowling the bowling hall of fame again or the spam factory then you're like this
00:26:10.960
isn't that fun and then then you start calling escort services you know i called one call it was
00:26:15.960
called visiting angels i thought it was an escort service it turns out it's for all people health
00:26:19.540
care the nurse showed up with a bedpan we worked it into the fun but uh i i it's it's let me tell you
00:26:27.960
something you better be good at it because uh it can get pretty lonely out there it's when you're on
00:26:34.180
stage glenn it's the best thing in the world yeah uh when you come off stage like billy crystal
00:26:39.480
said mr saturday night all the guys want to be your friends all the girls over 400 pounds want to
00:26:44.140
sleep with you um it's it's great i haven't had a boss i haven't had a boss since 1988 and and you
00:26:52.440
know i used to be able to get up at noontime on a monday i was saying that till i met my manager
00:26:56.780
and we started doing this streaming show now now i keep the hours of a fisherman my alarm goes off at
00:27:01.560
5 a.m look at me i've aged 300 years and a lot so i know i'm actually only 20
00:27:07.260
tell your son to i mean if you got to get it out of your system you got to do it and if he goes up
00:27:17.200
and even two people laugh i'm telling you it's a drug i mean there's there can't be anything better
00:27:23.340
better than making people laugh and feel good and laugh hard that just i mean i can't imagine how
00:27:30.540
that's how they could not be addicting well the reason i did it somebody told me when i was young
00:27:35.840
if you can make a woman laugh you can make her do anything so that's why i get into it but i turned
00:27:40.340
i grew up and i loaded handgun has the same effect right but uh and uh in today's world that kind of
00:27:46.920
they're both kind of the same uh yes they are yeah so nick uh how's the special going we are at
00:27:54.320
about 920 000 views we only released this in may so i say we hit a million views by probably
00:28:01.340
thanksgiving uh breath of fresh air uh i'm the pioneer on this stuff folks i i hate to keep blowing
00:28:08.020
my own horn here but i was pushing these uh anti-pc things and doing this type of comedy
00:28:12.880
uh late 90s uh so i i've taken a beat and i've been i've been assaulted by a woman after a show
00:28:21.040
i i've been on the phone with the fbi uh twice this year uh about threats and uh i've put in my dues
00:28:27.860
anybody that comes out to my show it's not because they saw me on tv or because i'm famous it's because
00:28:32.720
of my comedy and uh i'm doing it the hard way but uh the special is a really it really is nick
00:28:40.400
apollo essence i i i let it fly and even billy burr said to me you know he's politically he's a little
00:28:46.580
opposite of me but he said this special is good for comedy so i think uh you know people are looking
00:28:51.940

become one today and listen on your own time you can subscribe on itunes thanks we have john ziegler
00:29:39.740
on the program today now if you're a longtime listener of this program you may have heard him
00:29:45.020
in the past and uh he generally uh seems to make a lot of sense he generally uh well he's not popular
00:29:53.400
and he's not popular because he's always on the other side of things always uh and many times he's
00:30:02.180
right now he just spent the day yesterday with matt lauer and uh and i thought you know we should have
00:30:12.680
we should have john uh on the on the radio program because we haven't heard matt lauer's side of the
00:30:21.080
story but i am i'm concerned that john ziegler because there isn't anybody that's you know
00:30:28.660
rushing and saying hey john i was part of the armenian genocide uh please defend me i think he
00:30:37.520
you know he may ah he may end up being the most hated man in america welcome to the program john
00:30:44.740
ziegler wow i've had a lot of interesting intros on this program but that one takes the cake wow
00:30:49.680
well i mean you know you don't you did and like i said you're generally right i think the things that
00:30:57.160
you've said i'm just afraid of where you're gonna where you're gonna take this one well look uh here's
00:31:03.960
the the bottom line of this um you know matt lauer as you guys obviously know was one of the biggest
00:31:10.160
media stars in the world in november of 2017 got fired in the midst of the post harvey weinstein
00:31:16.620
me too situation has never done an interview of any kind since then and now with ronan farrow's new
00:31:23.460
book uh alleging that he raped an nbc former nbc producer named brooke nevels in uh in the at the
00:31:31.700
socio olympics in 2014 uh something that she never claimed before until uh by any evidence until she
00:31:38.760
spoke to ronan farrow which i don't think is coincidental um i'm you know matt lauer who i
00:31:45.360
have known in the past because i've done three major interviews with him on other issues um i uh
00:31:54.040
he called me uh about uh a week and a half ago and and and said can we talk i said sure and um you know
00:32:04.240
we've probably spoke about three hours on the phone partially about the the facts of uh the case
00:32:10.440
uh partially about negotiating a potential meeting and get together off the record interview uh and so
00:32:17.940
eventually uh we we did that and yesterday i this is so crazy only john ziggler would be dumb enough to
00:32:25.220
do this i i i took a red-eye flight from los angeles to new york drove out to the hamptons spent the entire
00:32:32.780
day with matt lauer and flew back also i didn't have to pay for a damn hotel room um so so um so
00:32:40.480
i'm a little a little tired right now because i'm back and i'm back in la oh good sleep deprivation
00:32:47.600
uh is like truth serum so so tell us what you're thinking john well well i can assure you that if
00:32:54.680
anybody uh if there was some way to have uh aired live video of the five and a half hours i spent
00:33:02.700
the grilling matt lauer uh yesterday uh in the hamptons and then that was somehow accessible to
00:33:09.340
the public though it would have been a super bowl rating oh i'm sure it would have um this was i have
00:33:15.480
done a lot of very high profile uh interviews in my career um and this was the most extraordinary
00:33:23.820
of its kind that i've that i've ever done um this is uh on multiple levels on a human level i'm talking
00:33:31.380
about just on a human level i mean this is a man who uh admits to making enormous mistakes uh and and
00:33:38.100
i grill him over those uh and by the way all this is in a column uh entitled after meeting with matt
00:33:46.300
lauer he has a compelling story but does he have a fair place to tell it which has just gone out on
00:33:52.720
media i thought it was going to go out a little earlier than it did but you know how these things
00:33:57.620
work in this business so that apparently is now out um and i urge people to read it we took a photo
00:34:04.780
together to prove that we had met that was one of the conditions of the of the meeting and uh i'll just
00:34:11.280
say it because um you know you this is the way i am i am convinced that the idea that he raped this
00:34:19.280
woman uh is absurd i mean i i it is and and i think that there are there are people who are very
00:34:27.220
very very close to the story and to her who know that the allegation is absurd and they have not been
00:34:36.200
willing to come forward publicly uh they've done so privately i would urge them to come forward
00:34:41.740
publicly and tell the real truth of what happened here but uh i i also think i said there's multiple
00:34:47.360
levels to this there's the human level there's the the allegation you know what actually happened and
00:34:52.120
then there's also the ronan farrow issue and i gotta tell you glenn uh you know i bought into the
00:34:57.400
whole ronan farrow thing back during harvey weinstein and then when he went after brett kavanaugh and what i
00:35:02.780
refer to as a an urban legend i started to go like so whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa what's going on here
00:35:09.340
and now after i've gotten deep into this matt lauer thing and when i read his two chapters on matt lauer
00:35:15.800
which are a freaking joke i mean they are a journal they are journalistic garbage this is page six meets
00:35:24.660
alex jones type stuff okay this is insanity what he was allowed to write and he's allowed to do it
00:35:32.300
because he's now a media darling who gets no scrutiny whatsoever he is a dangerous man glenn the the
00:35:41.420
idea that he is now the arbiter of of you know adult male female sexual relationships is just
00:35:49.180
unbelievable so because i thought this the kavanaugh thing was an interesting moment with ronan farrow
00:35:54.460
because he really tried to parlay his credibility with the weinstein thing into taking kavanaugh out
00:36:02.220
including embracing like the ninth string accusers of kavanaugh not even the main ones and he didn't
00:36:09.140
seem like the ones that avenatti was like okay this is ridiculous i mean he really he really went to
00:36:16.100
the well i thought it was the uh the moment where he jumped the shark yeah i i i thought and it was an
00:36:21.860
eye-opening moment i agree with you stew 100 that that's what he tried to do he tried to use his street
00:36:26.360
cred on weinstein to take out kavanaugh now at that point to me he was an activist but that doesn't
00:36:32.100
mean you're you're always wrong i mean maybe he just missed one maybe he just missed one on that
00:36:36.540
but now that i've gotten in the details on this uh like what have you like what did you find out
00:36:45.960
is that you know um ronan farrow met with matt lauer just before publication and ronan farrow
00:36:54.440
acknowledged to matt and to another person who i spoke to this other person as well that um brooke
00:37:01.860
nevels uh this is this is these are ronan farrow's words and it came to her uh uh conclusion that
00:37:09.340
blauer had or quote unquote raped her quote in hindsight in hindsight in other words after
00:37:17.940
with many years after it happens after the firing where she never tells nbc anything about a rape
00:37:26.200
she tells nbc about a consensual affair on company property that's why matt lauer got fired and that's
00:37:34.640
there's been a lot of media smoke surrounding all of that but people don't need they need to
00:37:39.200
understand that that's how this all went down it was in the midst of that moral panic post weinstein
00:37:44.640
me too nbc needs a scout because they're being attacked on their their rejection of the ronan
00:37:51.480
farrow weinstein story and they decapitate matt lauer in 24 hours uh for what i believe was more
00:37:57.920
political purposes than anything else the rules changed and by the way lauer never even fought that
00:38:03.440
he never fought his contract being broken he he didn't do an interview about it because he felt
00:38:08.900
horrible about what he had done to his family and he didn't want to fight it he accepted
00:38:13.220
responsibility for his mistakes and he thought that was going to be the end of it and now he's being
00:38:18.060
accused of rape because as you guys know once the media decapitates you now they feel like they can
00:38:23.380
feed off your carcass oh yeah and and and so and so this is what's happened here farrow is promoting
00:38:29.600
what i believe in to be an activist position on on me too using matt lauer's carcass well now matt lauer's
00:38:37.920
like well wait a minute i gotta fight back and but he doesn't know how to do it because we don't
00:38:42.240
live in a world where there is any sense of media fairness on this issue especially and and so you
00:38:48.880
know and he's being bombarded with interview uh requests constantly and of course you know it's
00:38:54.420
perfectly logical that when that happens you go to john ziggler instead which well i will tell you
00:38:59.060
this john i mean i wouldn't go to the mainstream media i wouldn't i'd go to somebody like you i'd go
00:39:05.400
someplace where the guy has a reputation of listening to the other side because i've done
00:39:13.160
too many interviews and seen and matt is you know matt knows this too many interviews where the
00:39:20.360
interviewer is just coming in for a ratings hit or to increase their popularity or whatever they don't
00:39:28.020
actually care to listen they know what they're looking for and that's the way most people are
00:39:35.400
a hundred percent on this issue that's exactly what has happened and as far as you know me assessing his
00:39:41.480
credibility let me just tell you how um the uh how this went down i mean i am the person who told matt
00:39:50.920
lauer i don't know what percentage but a huge percentage of what is in ronan farrow's book because
00:39:57.640
he didn't even want to read it he's so disgusted by it so i'm i'm getting his reaction to in real time
00:40:04.400
real time to the allegations now if you've done a million interviews as well that's about as as
00:40:11.420
as credible as it gets in determining someone's uh you know whether or not their story makes sense
00:40:16.900
because this isn't a cover story he's coming to me with let me tell you my version of events and
00:40:21.500
i've got x y and z all nailed down he's literally reacting to me in real time to things he's never
00:40:28.360
heard before and has extraordinary detail extraordinary detail in his responses he didn't
00:40:36.240
uh sidestep any of my inquiries i mean you you guys know me i mean we spent five and a half hours
00:40:42.300
talking about this we weren't talking about why the yankees didn't make the world series okay i mean
00:40:46.160
this was this was as excruciating uh at five and a half hours as matt lauer could possibly have ever
00:40:52.680
experienced uh you know verbally in his life uh i mean there's it was emotional at times uh it was
00:40:59.460
extremely fact-based he was as open as i could have possibly imagined he has an incredibly compelling
00:41:07.060
story and this story goes way beyond matt lauer
00:41:16.160
like listening to this podcast if you're not a subscriber become one now on itunes
00:41:31.700
and while you're there do us a favor and rate the show we welcome to the program
00:41:36.440
the host of louder with crowder steven crowder hey steven how are you
00:41:44.960
uh not good glenn not good what did you just not good i just go ahead you had me i was listening to
00:41:53.600
your advertisements your sponsors and wonderful you do a great job thanks i will say this glenn
00:41:58.700
you're probably one of the best guys i know when i used to watch uh on fox when you would use a
00:42:04.020
a prompter and i know the scandal prompter right because you're doing a full hour show it's really
00:42:07.960
hard to tell if something is written or you're off the cuff and that's really just the performance
00:42:13.060
artist in you it's it's a real skill and i envy it but i'm not doing well because um i was waiting
00:42:18.360
here while you're doing your sponsors and i found uh found myself reading a buzzfeed listicle i guess
00:42:22.900
they call them you know yeah i mean now now i just now i want to kill myself why what is it what
00:42:28.780
is the listicle about what did you find it doesn't matter it's the fact that it's buzzfeed
00:42:33.500
so i know it's national awareness day and i just think these are these are the these are the issues
00:42:40.480
that slide in between the cracks and if we were to look at you know the current uh suicide epidemic
00:42:45.080
it's a pandemic i i think there's some responsibility of buzzfeed articles i think buzzfeed articles lead to
00:42:50.440
mass suicide theory i think it's a pretty good theory myself uh it's why i don't go to buzzfeed
00:42:57.540
uh just you know what that's maybe that's why no one's talking about it yeah probably has a
00:43:02.500
it sounds like a relatively simple solution yeah i've got a listicle uh number one don't go there
00:43:07.240
and yeah uh all right so steven yesterday your show was really compelling uh and you were trending
00:43:15.420
uh on youtube as you were as you were taking youtube apart uh i love this about you because
00:43:23.040
they they don't want to hide you anymore because you're just exposing them tell it tell the audience
00:43:29.920
go ahead i think there's stuff between a rock and a hard place i know i want to make sure people
00:43:34.660
understand like with my channel and the monetization all that stuff is separate from from what we stumbled
00:43:39.520
across so for people who haven't found uh who haven't watched this video yet it's available at youtube
00:43:43.400
it's available at the blaze listen we were demonetized last summer and so when that started
00:43:48.060
happening that wasn't really what concerned us what concerned us was this all of a sudden drop off in
00:43:52.660
organic reach and search and we realized that we weren't you know we weren't showing up if you type
00:43:57.720
in steven crowder change my mind my stuff doesn't show up and we told people in the audience hundreds of
00:44:04.700
thousands of people responded or sent screenshots and some of them said we were lying saying no you show
00:44:08.800
up perfectly fine well why is there such a discrepancy in the search results well we realized that
00:44:13.260
if people were searching in the united states exclusively my content wouldn't show up but if
00:44:18.720
they switch their vpn you know effectively which is like a digital web kind of address to germany or
00:44:23.160
spain anywhere that's not the u.s it would show up so we said okay let's run some more tests on this
00:44:28.220
and we just happen to be running some tests because we've been going back and forth with youtube
00:44:32.380
on tulsi gabbard because everyone was talking about some you know everyone had some suspicions that
00:44:37.160
she's being kind of silenced by the dnc and uh what happened was immediately the night when hillary
00:44:43.540
clinton accused um tulsi gabbard of being a russian asset which by the way apparently i'm paid by the
00:44:49.060
russians to reveal this information as well that that was another that's really good you know steven
00:44:53.780
steven honestly honestly hang on just a sec i have to ask you this aside question as a comedian as a guy
00:44:59.620
who makes a lot of money writing comedy and delivering comedy this you couldn't have even
00:45:06.540
come up with a hillary clinton story that she is peddling now about her the election tulsi gabbard
00:45:12.620
i mean it's beyond reason right no i mean last week we just had a sketch with donald trump twitch
00:45:19.700
streaming uh minecraft and it's less absurd than the current story with hillary clinton right um yeah so so
00:45:26.620
so what happened was if you search tulsi gabbard anywhere not in the united states her channel
00:45:31.880
showed up and videos from her channel showed up she switched her vpn exclusively to the united states
00:45:36.860
she was nowhere to be found and then it switched right back when she stopped trending so effectively
00:45:43.720
she was not able to defend herself and keep in mind tulsi gabbard has a lawsuit a pending lawsuit
00:45:48.360
against google and youtube for shutting her out from google ads during the debate and you and i know this
00:45:53.800
glenn you have a window of opportunity with a debate especially if you're kind of seen in the
00:45:57.780
second tier candidate and you gain some momentum and that's what's happened with tulsi she's kind
00:46:01.940
of like the left uh carly fiorina you know she's done really well in the base impressed a lot of people
00:46:07.000
and then people can't find her when they search her so this is one of those it was so bizarre to me
00:46:12.020
youtube says well it's geographically based and we want to best serve our audience i would love for
00:46:17.660
youtube and google to answer me you anyone particularly their shareholders why they think it is best
00:46:23.780
serving the audience to not offer them up the channel of a sitting representative who is
00:46:29.580
currently running for president of the united states only in the united states it doesn't make
00:46:35.940
any sense uh we don't know exactly what's happening but we do know that we tested this for multiple
00:46:41.660
different dpns and the same results came up all the time okay so let me let me let me just break this
00:46:47.580
down for people in case you one more time in case you didn't you didn't get this tulsi gabbard was
00:46:54.380
trending outside of the united states where you would think the trend would be lower because why does
00:47:02.860
somebody in spain care about this right you know this thing with tulsi gabbard most americans don't
00:47:08.820
even know tulsi gabbard how do the you know how do the spanish why are they why is she trending there
00:47:14.660
okay not trending here until she stopped for spanish pardon me her defense she has that sort
00:47:21.820
of she could be confused for spanish in her in their defense she has that really very uh very
00:47:25.980
appealing generically like abercrombie ethnic look where you're like
00:47:28.840
they're polynesian i will say this i find her very attractive her and nikki haley very attractive but i
00:47:37.060
do have to correct you tulsi gabbard was trending in the united states on twitter and on facebook
00:47:42.240
so she was trending even in the united states but right search tulsi gabbard on youtube where she
00:47:47.700
has a channel by the way you didn't find tulsi gabbard content you found other content from people
00:47:54.140
uh accusing her or news outlets accusing her being a russian outlet so she was trending okay so wait a
00:47:58.780
minute wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute so her content and that includes one
00:48:02.620
of the things she was doing on her channel that was live right i i can't confirm that she was doing
00:48:08.840
something live at that moment but again it was her channel wasn't showing up nor videos from her
00:48:14.080
channel so she was trending and then if you're on if you go onto youtube from any country that's not
00:48:19.340
the united states and you search tulsi gabbard boom tulsi gabbard's direct uh channel and video show up
00:48:25.240
the only place where it was like a ghost she didn't show up at all was the united states do we have any idea
00:48:31.480
yet of what their defense is of of this steven well you know in our case we stumbled across it because
00:48:38.460
they've been doing this with change my mind like i don't know why if you type in even crowd or change
00:48:42.320
my mind someone i don't know why youtube would serve them you know a rebuttal video from an atheist
00:48:46.820
with two subscribers saying that i work for the russians but that's what happens usually when we
00:48:51.520
talk with youtube they offer three defenses right it's an algorithm okay well an algorithm is created
00:48:55.900
by a person right and here's the thing we've talked with youtube quite a bit and they actually
00:49:00.960
switched our channel recently to whatever it's called like an official verified preferred channel
00:49:05.140
when we complain so someone flipped the switch so that our channel shows up now which means it's
00:49:10.140
not an algorithm we are in a position to prove and say no no we spoke with high reps at youtube
00:49:15.260
they fixed our channel so that would be one defense that's not true that it's just an algorithm
00:49:19.620
another ultimately is someone who makes this call then they can say well the algorithms are
00:49:23.620
geographically based to best serve an audience again how does it best serve the american audience for
00:49:28.680
them to exclusively not find someone running for president of the united states right then they might try and
00:49:33.640
say well just some lower level employee but i've got to imagine because my name is i mean they've been
00:49:39.640
watching our our narcos parody and our our transgender breastfeeding hitler sketches at youtube headquarters
00:49:46.280
because they've talked with us about it they've talked with us about these sketches which to me it's
00:49:49.880
hysterical that in palo alto they're watching a lot of the kind of content i can just imagine the
00:49:54.560
counseling that has to take place i'm trying to imagine that the management of a channel of a sitting
00:50:00.660
presidential candidate who is currently suing the company wouldn't be passed off to some patsy for
00:50:05.980
the higher up and while we're talking about preferred channel status because that's a new change youtube
00:50:10.580
has made shouldn't all people running for president of the united states right now shouldn't there be a
00:50:16.540
meeting that all of them have official verified channel status why would Tulsi Gabbard not so they can
00:50:22.560
make those arguments i don't think it passes the sniff test and i don't think it passes the common sense
00:50:27.660
test most people will go well of course i assume that if google who by the way control 90 percent
00:50:33.520
of the search market globally google if we talk about you know the example i use is if jfk were not
00:50:40.480
able to get on nbc abc cbs back in the day they blacklisted him he would have never been the candidate
00:50:44.720
he would have never been president well google has at least that much power much more globally and
00:50:49.700
they're in more households and used by more americans than all tv networks combined and if they are not
00:50:56.220
acting truthfully or at least most americans would assume well if i'm going on to google or if i'm
00:51:00.280
going to youtube i just like Tulsi Gabbard and debate i want to see what she has to say i don't
00:51:04.480
think anyone in their right mind would ever assume that youtube would be preventing them from seeing
00:51:09.980
Tulsi Gabbard's content but that's the that's the problem with there's there's a bias by uh proactive
00:51:15.400
lies which we see but this is far more subversive because people never know it and and that really
00:51:21.560
really worries me this is the most powerful company in the history of the world and i mean that i mean
00:51:28.440
that you go to the west indian trading company you can look at the english empire no one has the
00:51:33.600
influence over the delivery of information right now that google youtube have maybe if you add up
00:51:39.840
facebook twitter and all of them tend to be lean significantly less i will tell you steven that
00:51:44.420
this is the first time i've said this uh recently a couple of times and uh and i and and maybe
00:51:50.200
somebody can correct me on this but this is the first time that i think that our founders
00:51:55.400
just couldn't even imagine and you know it's not like they could imagine that we weren't you know
00:52:01.160
we're going to go to the moon or something like that i mean that when they're putting the constitution
00:52:04.920
together they couldn't imagine that people in power in the government would cede their power to each
00:52:13.280
other and then to a corporation and a corporation would be bigger than any government and possibly
00:52:22.420
all governments of the world they just would have never seen that right and like you said i don't
00:52:29.160
want to go down that slippery slope of you know people say well the first amendment doesn't apply to
00:52:32.700
iphones no it applies to everything but in this case it's a little different because youtube and google
00:52:36.820
by the way have hosted political debates people send in their questions via youtube they have chosen
00:52:42.900
to engage in the political sphere right now and they have come out and said we are a public platform
00:52:49.240
they are not a publisher but if they are creating algorithms or if someone is manually removing search
00:52:55.100
results from a current presidential candidate that is not acting like a platform that is acting like
00:53:00.500
a publisher what we need is transparency what we need are answers and i want to be really clear
00:53:04.780
i can't stand most of tulsi gabbard's policies i you know and when people say well she's one of the
00:53:10.480
more reasonable ones that's because she's the only current democratic candidate who said there should
00:53:14.240
be some cutoff for abortion and it was 28 weeks that's seven months so she says let's stop abortion after
00:53:20.840
seven months how about that and they go russia russia russia russian plan so it's odd to me that google and
00:53:26.640
these tech companies like tulsi gabbard isn't far left enough it's it's it's mind-boggling and i i i think
00:53:33.900
it's super important because listen i think donald trump's going to win and of course i don't want
00:53:38.520
tulsi gabbard to be president of course i don't want bernie sanders to be president but i want it
00:53:42.500
to be an honest win i want the democrats to still get the candidate that they've chosen right donald
00:53:47.660
trump was not supported by donors that's a great example how did donald trump become president
00:53:51.760
people wanted him and he was using new media social media right it wasn't if you were to compare
00:53:57.320
the power that's wielded from big money be it the coke brothers or big oil to google and big tech
00:54:03.480
it's not even close because we have a president who don't have the backing of that big money he had
00:54:09.340
his own mediums on new media and that and they've come out and said we didn't do anything to stop
00:54:14.120
donald trump and now it looks like they're trying to stop tulsi gabbard i can't say it one with 100
00:54:20.000
percent fact but i can absolutely say that when this was trending if you search tulsi gabbard on youtube
00:54:25.160
you did not get tulsi gabbard and that is either an oversight there's such complete ineptitude that
00:54:31.600
they cannot be running 90 percent of search information that needs to be more transparency
00:54:36.400
or they need to answer for something more sinister going on stephen crowder from uh from louder with
00:54:42.840
