Hello, podcasters. We get right into the controversy on today's podcast.
00:00:04.340
Yes, the thing that everybody is talking about, the most important question of possibly our age.
00:00:10.920
Tom Brady. Is he a good parent or a bad parent?
00:00:14.960
Pat choises for that. Also, Boris Johnson has won the election.
00:00:19.380
We talked a little bit about him with Alexander Hammond over in England.
00:00:23.780
Joe, the plumber has come up strangely again and waxing Romney.
00:00:30.000
You'll understand when you hear it all on today's podcast.
00:00:40.920
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:00:49.300
Home buying season is upon us. Real estate conditions are looking excellent for most of the country.
00:00:55.000
Equity is on the rise. Rates are low. Prices are affordable.
00:00:58.500
Your dream home is within reach. But if it's your first home, your next home, your forever home, you need to get the right financing.
00:01:10.940
In 10 minutes, you can start the pre-approval process.
00:01:13.800
I've known them for years. I started doing commercials for them after the crash of 2008.
00:01:19.500
They're the only mortgage company that I've ever done or would ever consider because they called me before the crash and they didn't get their people roped up into crazy loans.
00:01:33.660
So what happens? They find the right loan for you so you're not behind a giant boulder rolling down a hill when the economy changes.
00:02:12.840
So Ilana Marr, we have our special on her tomorrow.
00:02:16.480
And, you know, we were trying to find a way to explain this whole marriage between her and her...
00:02:28.880
I mean, we decided we were going to do it through kind of a...
00:02:46.440
We're trying to figure out a way because it's a very complex story.
00:03:02.800
Now, we're going to bring you up to a place to where I think this needs to be going to a grand jury.
00:03:08.540
There's just no way to go past this at this point.
00:03:19.320
And, you know, the FBI needs to be involved if anybody is interested.
00:03:24.740
By the way, while everybody is focusing on the racism of Donald Trump...
00:03:35.480
She has come out and asked Congress to stop supporting Israel and support the boycott and divestment of Israel.
00:03:47.420
I love that because people are like, well, one of the big pieces of evidence that she is anti-Semitic is this BDS movement.
00:04:04.000
They're like, oh, well, is Donald Trump racist?
00:04:06.540
He said, you know, he wanted that the people on both sides are good people.
00:04:20.440
In fact, we're going to write it into law that they get a national holiday.
00:04:30.460
She's just protecting the people, the Palestinian people, from the Israeli occupation.
00:04:36.760
First of all, there's never been a country named Palestine.
00:04:43.040
Well, there's never been 94 genders either, but that didn't stop anything.
00:04:47.960
So she says that everybody should boycott Israel.
00:04:51.400
And she says that Jews have hypnotized the world.
00:05:00.180
She has used tropes about, you know, the money-grubbing American Jews.
00:05:04.840
It sounds so much better with this music in the background.
00:05:07.540
With, you know, they have dual loyalties to Israel while spreading conspiracy theories about AIPAC.
00:05:14.860
She says also that the Jews own the Republican Party.
00:05:20.180
And she has also scoffed at the idea that Israel was even a democracy.
00:05:26.520
I would laugh at the idea that Jews own the Republican Party, except for the fact that that would be the typical way Republicans would do it.
00:05:33.380
Like, the Republicans are there, and they still only get, like, 25% of the vote from the group that runs them.
00:05:39.520
That may be the evidence that they do it, and they do it kind of crappily and never, ever get any credit for it.
00:05:45.940
So our Alana Mar update and our special is tomorrow.
00:05:57.760
We ask you to subscribe to The Blaze if you're already a subscriber.
00:06:05.900
I have a feeling there's a lot of comedy in this one.
00:06:08.520
There is, and I think it's most useful to people, besides the fact that you get to laugh and probably hear that song again.
00:06:23.360
But I think just being able to visually understand what she's being accused of is really important because it's really complicated.
00:06:31.320
Yeah, and that is honestly why we started with the Alana Mar is because it's so complex.
00:06:40.300
And so we started, you know, we started with one 70s show.
00:06:44.440
And then as we went, we were like, well, it might be more like this 70s show.
00:06:48.780
And I'm not sure if we're going to, I'm not sure if we're going to be able to decide by tomorrow.
00:06:53.100
It might be all of the 70s show to try to explain exactly what's happened.
00:06:59.760
Now, I will tell you that Stu claims to have run out of time to act out, be Alana Mar as a sock puppet.
00:07:08.180
But he claims that, you know, I guess he's used to Shakespeare where they have weeks and weeks to memorize lines.
00:07:17.600
And so I'm still trying to convince him to play Alana Mar as only Stu could play her as a sock puppet.
00:07:31.860
You get Steven Crowder, Mark Levin, all of them.
00:07:42.320
You'll save $10 if you use the promo code Glenn, blazetv.com, promo code Glenn.
00:07:54.380
I mean, you kind of have to believe that she's very safe in her particular district till the end of time.
00:08:06.480
Now, I understand that you get, you know, you get what you can take at, you know, places like her district.
00:08:16.940
She admitted to the New York Post that she voted for Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012.
00:08:36.720
You know, probably hard to find people who didn't do that.
00:08:40.620
Last June, when Ocasio-Cortez won against the Democratic incumbent, she tweeted, congratulations, Alexandria.
00:08:50.440
Queens is headed in a new direction, and it's time for new leadership.
00:08:56.640
Well, I mean, I guess you could say they certainly were headed in a new direction.
00:09:00.820
And now maybe that was just the person saying, look, it's time for new leadership.
00:09:05.520
So, like, almost like, you know, announcing the campaign, you know, maybe didn't mean Ocasio-Cortez, per se.
00:09:15.380
So, here's, I mean, that would be, you know, you could claim that if it wasn't that she also posted with her congratulations, the CNN article, with the headline,
00:09:29.440
28-year-old Democratic Socialist just ousted powerful 10-term congressmen in New York.
00:09:36.240
Okay, yeah, that takes a little bit of the shine off of my theory there.
00:09:40.140
Then she tweeted on Friday, because people are like, um, wait, are you really a Republican?
00:09:50.060
You know, she took on a Democratic political machine and won, but nothing's changed since.
00:09:54.480
Why? Because she's only been focused on her fame and politics of division and hate.
00:10:19.740
But the good news is, if you get her in, she's not going to stand in the way of any of these evil Republicans that want to cut spending.
00:10:31.320
Because they are, these fiscal hawks out there, it's, whoa, calm down, guys.
00:10:38.020
I mean, we have to have a few dollars to run the country.
00:10:46.180
There's almost nothing left, as Nancy Pelosi told us.
00:10:49.300
And we, at the time, I thought, disagreed, but apparently not.
00:10:54.520
Well, we know that Donald Trump doesn't disagree.
00:10:57.580
He said that in one of the, you know, one of the debates, that he doesn't have a problem with debt.
00:11:31.600
So the fact that we're going into all these deficits when the economy is good might lead
00:11:36.540
you to think there's a problem if the economy gets bad.
00:11:39.400
Well, the good news is, is saying that we're, we're spending it on all of our sunny days.
00:11:44.880
What's great is when the rainy day comes, there are going to be so much money in the bank for
00:11:51.920
Because we're beating many of the deficits from the economic collapse.
00:11:56.100
Now we're getting to the point where we're putting up trillion dollar deficits when we're
00:11:59.540
having a great economy with basically full employment.
00:12:02.980
So if the economy, and I'm sure it's obviously going to be good till the end of time, there's
00:12:09.700
As long as it stays as perfect as it is right now, we'll only have $24 trillion of debt or
00:12:17.220
a little more, plus $100 trillion in unfunded liabilities and more.
00:12:24.080
Did you hear that Elizabeth Warren is warning now of an economic catastrophe?
00:12:34.580
I'm sure that's what Elizabeth Warren is concerned about.
00:12:37.660
Well, she said, I warned about an economic crash for years before 2008, but the people
00:12:42.860
Now I'm seeing a serious warning sign in the economy again.
00:12:52.180
To act before another crisis costs America's families, their homes, their jobs, and their savings.
00:13:01.500
The odds of another economic downturn are high and growing.
00:13:05.660
Congress and regulators should act immediately to tamp down these threats before it's too
00:13:10.480
Now, she said that yesterday, and boy, do I have some commentary on it, but I thought
00:13:23.200
What do you bet CNN is going to say about Elizabeth Warren and her warning on the economy and that
00:13:34.980
I mean, with no knowledge on this situation, I would definitely say that they would probably
00:13:41.420
be harsh on Trump because they don't know how to do anything else.
00:13:44.580
So, I would think that they would blame Trump and say that's why Elizabeth Warren is right.
00:13:49.720
And seeing that she's a social justice warrior.
00:13:53.900
And Elizabeth Warren's solution's got to be wonderful.
00:13:58.300
She's proposing some solutions that actually might create another crisis.
00:14:05.700
Number one, she points to several data points that say, you know, the alarm bells should
00:14:12.320
Well, one of the things that she points to is the level of corporate debt.
00:14:15.660
Now, while risky loans to corporations have increased post-financial crisis, the ability
00:14:21.240
for those companies to keep up with payments has also increased.
00:14:25.180
So, we're not seeing the kind of default rates that would be alarming at this point.
00:14:30.060
Now, I'm not saying that's not a metric we should be paying attention to.
00:14:32.840
All I'm saying is that Elizabeth Warren is shaping this conversation in a way that's politically
00:14:39.020
Now, as far as her policy proposals, she is recommending lowering rents, offering affordable
00:14:51.380
And the American public should be asking, how do you pay for it?
00:14:59.580
This is the issue that the American people should be actually focused on, because many
00:15:04.500
experts say if we don't get control of our debt over the next 10 years, we could be facing
00:15:12.020
And that would be extraordinarily harmful to our economy.
00:15:25.040
I expected the door of her studio to be broken down and the CNN police come in and just gag
00:15:42.040
And you're also tearing down socialist policies.
00:15:53.980
Are we on yet another earth where occasionally somebody on CNN says something that just doesn't
00:16:02.980
bash Trump and instead bashes a progressive social justice warrior?
00:16:12.520
I'll let you know if she still has a job by the end of the day.
00:16:32.900
Maybe we should burst in with breaking coverage of Robert Mueller's testimony in which he reads
00:16:37.500
from the document he's already printed and handed and distributed to everyone.
00:16:42.000
This will be really fascinating at that time when he says the line that we already heard
00:16:46.800
but we had to read it last time and this time he's going to say it.
00:16:54.420
Remember when he was, when he gave his press conference and said,
00:16:57.840
Congress, don't call me to testify because I have nothing new to say.
00:17:08.640
It's amazing listening to the political analysts talk about this.
00:17:10.840
They're like, you know, this is going to be a huge moment in Washington.
00:17:13.060
And, you know, Robert Mueller has said he's not going to give any new information,
00:17:16.240
but, you know, in today's day and age, it is important for the person who did the report
00:17:21.380
to read from it so that you can, so people can hear it because they're not going to read
00:17:28.640
Well, I think maybe if there was something in the entire collusion part of it,
00:17:37.020
Like it's the fact that like you're, you're saying, well, there's no collusion,
00:17:40.160
but there could have been some things that may have, if people acted in a slightly different
00:17:49.940
And he's already said, if you ask me, what do I think he's guilty of obstruction of justice?
00:17:55.860
I'm going to say the thing that I said in the report, which is we couldn't clear him,
00:17:59.240
but we couldn't, you know, there wasn't enough there for.
00:18:03.180
Well, we couldn't clear, there's a 448 page document.
00:18:06.080
I hope, you know, I hope he, honestly, he does is he takes a copy of the document and
00:18:09.440
he just, every time they ask him a question, it'd go, hold on, let me refer to my document
00:18:20.540
And then he reads from page 271, the exact paragraph that where he answered the question.
00:18:26.680
I don't think anyone's saying that he was not, this was not a thorough analysis of the situation.
00:18:31.060
He, he micro analyzed every single thing that basically Donald Trump did from 2016, 2018.
00:18:38.980
And before that, and in some cases, uh, so I don't understand what they, they think they're
00:18:45.900
I think they're looking for that viral moment, which is, this is a, this is the freaking U.S.
00:18:50.980
government that's running a hearing because they want to get a viral moment where he states
00:18:55.800
If, if I were to be fair, which is still stupid of them to do, but if I were to be fair, I
00:19:02.080
could say maybe what they hope is they see damaging stuff in there.
00:19:07.340
They see damaging stuff, but the American people just won't read it.
00:19:10.720
So we need to put on a little cake and circus show.
00:19:15.720
And, uh, that way when he says it and it's a cake and circus show, they're really going
00:19:23.300
You think that little of the American people, the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:19:37.860
And if you like what you hear on the program, you should check out Pat Gray unleashed.
00:19:41.860
His podcast is available wherever you download your favorite podcast.
00:19:47.760
Forget about, uh, you know, civil disobedience.
00:19:53.260
We brought Pat in to talk about the real issue of the day.
00:20:04.560
Finally, somebody, finally, somebody is addressing asking the question that must be asked.
00:20:10.240
Well, first of all, we had last year, you remember this.
00:20:12.780
And I think we disagreed on, on the, on the kiss with the 11 year old son.
00:20:28.760
And now he went cliff diving in Costa Rica, uh, with his six year old daughter.
00:20:35.040
This one's a little different because first of all, why do you post this on Twitter?
00:20:41.900
And whether or not Tom Brady's cliff dives with his daughter, that's not on my business yet.
00:20:47.100
He made it my business because he made it my business.
00:20:55.840
Uh, so it's, it's interesting because there's a lot of controversy and a lot of discussion.
00:21:00.900
A lot of people are saying, Hey, that's a good dad spending time with his daughter doing,
00:21:09.600
There are people that take their kids mountain climbing and all kinds of stuff that I would
00:21:18.540
I would not do this with my kids, but I wouldn't do it myself.
00:21:24.940
It's not that the, the, the jump height isn't as big of a deal as the rocks, as the rocks.
00:21:31.160
Cause if she lands on the rocks, you know, you're badly injured.
00:21:37.380
Cause he grabs her as he's jumping in and he sort of jerks her arm to make sure she clears
00:21:41.980
She kind of goes in sideways for those who, who are watching this on place TV.
00:21:55.640
Now he grabs her hand and he seems to be talking about what we're going to do.
00:22:13.840
He has to jerk her arm and separates her shoulder and separates her shoulder.
00:22:23.460
I think this is if, if, if, if he was like, you're going to jump, you're going to jump.
00:22:34.620
I think she was like, I think that was your dad.
00:22:39.280
At the moment of actually doing it, it's going to be different.
00:22:45.600
Is he, if, is he, should he have taken that risk?
00:22:49.600
Well, the risk you're saying once that, once the jump began and she didn't want to jump,
00:22:54.800
Because he had to pull her away from sudden death.
00:22:57.460
The question is, do you put her in that situation at six years old?
00:23:00.760
Now, let's stop treating our children like they're complete imbeciles.
00:23:07.340
So it said treat them like Acme anvils and throw them off of mountains?
00:23:13.940
She said, assuming that she said, I want to do that.
00:23:45.260
Because he knows he's going to grab her and pull her over in case.
00:23:49.240
And separate her shoulder and break her rotator cuff.
00:23:50.860
She did not break her rotator cuff or separate her shoulder.
00:23:59.640
We don't know that she's a very good swimmer, but she's a swimmer.
00:24:01.980
You skip over a very important part of the parenting there, however,
00:24:05.120
is when your six-year-old says, yeah, I really want to do that,
00:24:10.800
And that's when you as a father have to know your six-year-old kid
00:24:14.020
and know if they are capable of doing it or not.
00:24:18.140
And he obviously shows incorrectly in that she did not want to jump.
00:24:20.600
How many times, I've got the greatest, I have the greatest thing of Rafe and I
00:24:32.860
I used to have him in our bathroom in New York.
00:24:34.520
And there was this whole series of pictures of the two of us running.
00:24:38.320
And he's like, and he must have been about six.
00:25:02.280
He just at the last minute was like, I'm nervous.
00:25:06.560
Well, we know that's what happens with six-year-olds, right?
00:25:10.420
But there wasn't a rye cliff you were jumping from.
00:25:12.460
That's why I didn't grab his arm on the way in.
00:25:21.020
And I can guarantee you, it's not her just standing there that made him grab her arm.
00:25:52.500
I wouldn't do that with my 30-year-old daughter.
00:25:59.900
Would you do it if you had a very daredevil-ish kind of child at six?
00:26:07.580
She lives, my daughter Ainsley lives life head first.
00:26:11.960
And she is a daredevil, and she will do anything.
00:26:14.360
Would you take that risk if you were a world-class athlete
00:26:21.340
Yeah, put a hypothetical to a person who can just answer it.
00:26:34.260
Number one, so the social media thing here is overblown.
00:26:38.280
I mean, that's not the worst thing in the world, right?
00:26:39.800
Number two, Tom Brady in every way is a horrible human being,
00:26:42.920
and he should have all of his Super Bowl rulings taken away.
00:26:47.300
He should be in prison for his football cracks.
00:26:48.980
And then the Patriots won't have him as quarterback anymore.
00:26:57.080
What if he inflated his daughter just a little bit more than she should have been inflated?
00:27:03.820
The larger lesson here, though, more than anything else, because look,
00:27:09.440
It's one of those things that as soon as I started it as a dad, I'd be like,
00:27:16.460
So, like, I don't think it was a great decision.
00:27:18.020
That being said, the only real lesson here, though, is if you're thinking,
00:27:22.740
hey, it'll be cute to have this picture, and then it comes out like that,
00:27:25.980
where you have to jerk her arm into the water, and she almost lands on your head.
00:27:32.840
You just don't post it, and then you just avoid all this nonsense.
00:27:36.900
That's the only part that shows to me that he's just a bad judge of anything.
00:27:46.420
That you thought, yeah, I don't want to post this.
00:27:51.420
I mean, he's got, you know, what, six Super Bowls.
00:27:55.440
He's got, you know, unlimited amounts of money.
00:28:02.660
You take his picture-perfect life, and you just assume that it's all good.
00:28:07.460
Do you realize how many times he has to drive to the bank?
00:28:16.420
Maybe he doesn't have to take the direct deposit.
00:28:22.700
He does have to look at the account, and there's a lot of numbers there to read.
00:28:25.760
It's easy when you don't have a lot of numbers or the numbers are small.
00:28:42.240
He's a good-looking, what, eight-time Super Bowl champion?
00:28:48.640
It would have been seven, but the Eagles beat him.
00:28:52.820
And do you know how many good-looking women he has to turn down every day?
00:28:57.560
Well, because he's married to one of the most beautiful women in the world.
00:29:01.160
It's interesting, when he started to get with that woman, it was because he was turning
00:29:14.320
Tommy, you really shouldn't post anything online.
00:29:31.160
Hey, it's Glenn, and if you like what you hear on the program, you should check out Pat

00:29:44.160
Stu, would you just do me, let's just make this into like a Mad Lib, and you just take
00:29:49.920
random words that you have, and you fill in the blank, okay?
00:29:57.220
Female waxer who has declined now to handle a male, that's where you fill in any, just
00:30:08.160
A female waxer who declines to handle male berries, well, there's more than just the
00:30:16.120
Twigs and berries, could face legal consequences.
00:30:20.040
At least, this might soon be possible in the woke insanity, otherwise known as Canada.
00:30:25.880
It comes from a recent British Columbia human rights tribunal hearing.
00:30:33.400
Doesn't that sound like it's like you're in real trouble?
00:30:44.040
So, Jessica Yaniv brought a complaint against Marcia Da Silva, a woman who runs a waxing
00:30:52.880
Complicating matters, Yaniv, despite identifying as a woman, sports the full package of male
00:31:09.020
I was hoping that you would, you know, come up with something a little less graphic.
00:31:16.640
Just said pick some random words and just throw them in there.
00:31:20.580
According to the Toronto Sun, Yaniv responded to an advertisement Da Silva posted on Facebook
00:31:29.320
However, upon learning that Yaniv retained her junk...
00:31:40.880
Da Silva said that she was no longer comfortable performing the waxing as she only offered female
00:31:47.620
waxing services and not services on male hoo-hahs.
00:31:52.880
I have no problem with the LGBT people, Da Silva said.
00:32:02.120
In fact, she was willing to offer her waxing services for a transgendered woman who had
00:32:44.220
Just open up a book and just start grabbing words.
00:32:50.660
First time a Tim Alberta's new book is used in this way.
00:32:56.660
Her waxing services for transgendered women who had undergone reassignment surgery and had
00:33:15.720
To the average outsider, this seems a perfectly reasonable response.
00:33:20.660
To the woke identitarian left, it's an act of bigotry.
00:33:24.560
Yanov charged that Da Silva was discriminating against her on the basis of her gender identity.
00:33:30.780
Such discrimination is barred under Canadian law.
00:33:35.380
During the hearing, Yanov even compared Da Silva's refusal to wax her...
00:33:51.540
Naturally, comedians and parody accounts filled the day.
00:33:58.580
She said, on another level, this is no laughing matter.
00:34:02.420
While, yes, wax my previous bigot case is just one isolated incident, but it shows how the
00:34:13.720
identitarian left is rapidly advanced from pursuing equality, which involves the freedom
00:34:19.620
from oppression to seek the justice and version of justice, which includes the freedom to force
00:34:26.420
your views or yourself on more literally onto others.
00:34:30.560
This version of social justice poses a threat to a free society.
00:34:34.720
If you could, if, if Yanov could have gone to a waxing service that accepted both the male
00:34:41.960
Bannon and the female Kushner or even be abandoned, it's actually, go ahead, sound those words.
00:34:57.040
Or even bought it a do your, do yourself at home kit.
00:35:02.260
Instead, she relentlessly pursued this case to try to browbeat her fellow citizens into submission.
00:35:10.820
Uh, you know, anybody who, you know, said, oh, they can just make a wedding cake.
00:35:16.500
Now you're having to, uh, also handle the man's Banner.
00:35:32.500
How can you not have a right to say no to touch another person's genitals?
00:35:37.860
How, how, how, like, are, isn't this the me too party?
00:35:42.640
You're going to force women to touch male genitals because of some ridiculous, uh, corner you've
00:35:54.520
But if you believe that someone should be forced to write words on a cake, then you absolutely have to go along with us.
00:36:06.800
And isn't it strange that you have to get permission to touch someone's genitals and they can, and they can take that permission away or say, I didn't give you permission.
00:36:19.340
And then it's sexual harassment and you're in trouble.
00:36:22.680
Um, but you can't say no to touching someone's genitals if they are asking you, uh, and paying you money as part of your job.
00:36:39.840
But I mean, I really don't understand how you disagree with it.
00:36:42.300
Like there is, you can make the, there's some sort of like, well, that seems like it's crossing the line argument, but you don't have a, you don't have an actual consistent moral argument.
00:36:52.840
I don't think there, I mean, look, the easy way here is to err on the side of individual freedom, which we do in this country and Canada, you know, it's not their gig, right?
00:37:02.680
Like that's not, that's not the, they don't have the constitution that we have.
00:37:07.040
So you expect things like this to happen in Canada, but that one's coming here.
00:37:11.100
Now, don't you think that maybe feminists would want to stand up for some, I'm going to be frank with you.
00:37:22.400
I mean, once you've had the reassignment surgery.
00:37:26.880
Um, you know, once you've had the Franks and beans removed, uh, you're still the same gender.
00:37:33.500
You're still a, you're still a guy on the inside.
00:37:37.300
However, you know, you've, you've, you've committed to it.
00:37:42.200
You've at least somebody who comes in and says, you know, I want my, my meat and vegetables polished.
00:37:50.320
Uh, that's, that's not, I mean, you're telling feminists are telling women you got to do that.
00:37:58.000
Right. And you know what, what's funny about it is the reason why they have to be consistent on this and say, yeah, you got to go up, you know, the, the Franks and beans are there.
00:38:07.760
You got to go do it on the Franks and beans is because for their worldview to have any level of consistency, they can't admit that that's a man.
00:38:16.820
Uh, they have to say that that is a woman on the table with the Franks and beans.
00:38:24.280
Uh, or is it just forcing people to comply in all ways force people to comply?
00:38:30.820
But I mean, if you, you, you have to admit something that fundamentally they can't admit.
00:38:36.100
They can't admit that this is a, this is not a, uh, uh, a girl.
00:38:51.020
That's, that's the, the foundation of this entire issue is all of these conversations revolve around this premise that something we all know is not true must be, we must pretend that it is true.
00:39:04.000
And if we all pretend that it is true, maybe it will become true.
00:39:12.940
We can all say, Hey, we really care about the national debt, but you know what?
00:39:23.460
And I think it's one of those situations where the reality, there are certain things that test these realities.
00:39:30.340
And it's the only way I think you push back on it, honestly, like the, you know,
00:39:35.140
You know, when you're, you're 16 year old daughter gets destroyed by a 16 year old boy in a race that she's worked really hard for.
00:39:44.200
When you're 24 year old daughter, it works at a waxing place and is waxing guys,
00:39:49.300
Franks and beans every day because some activist is telling you that they're not Franks and beans or that women can have Franks and beans.
00:39:57.080
That is, that is a situation where it tends to test people's patience with your little story.
00:40:04.380
Things tend to break down like they're breaking now.
00:40:07.280
Right now, the, the Democrats are pushing these, uh, these ideas so hard and they are starting to be in,
00:40:15.080
they're starting to leave the classroom and actually be dealt in every person's house.
00:40:20.340
They're dealing with it now in everybody's house.
00:40:23.240
And you're, and we're all coming home with our kids going, wait a minute, what are they teaching you?
00:40:35.780
And, and people are, here's why it has gotten out of hand so far is just like political correctness.
00:40:48.920
And if that's what makes you feel better, fine, I'll, I'll do it.
00:40:52.500
But when push comes to shove and I've got to testify or I have to tell it to my children or I have to, whatever.
00:41:00.260
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:41:23.480
don't even believe it right if you're fighting back against a woman uh and that because she has
00:41:30.000
to wax apart she doesn't want to do where's your where's your feminism yeah you're admitting it
00:41:35.420
you're admitting that you don't actually believe these things you're just saying them over and
00:41:39.120
over again and trying to get people fired from their jobs if they say the opposite or getting
00:41:42.700
deplatformed if they say the opposite now this this franks and beans story is happening in canada
00:41:53.720
alexander hamill uh hammond we had on uh yesterday uh we wanted to touch base with him quickly here
00:42:09.900
boris johnson was elected he's the new prime minister welcome uh alexander
00:42:15.660
hi glenn thanks having me yes he has done it he is now or tomorrow he'll be um walking to number
00:42:22.940
10 downing street as a new prime minister to the uk you know that's one thing that we also don't do
00:42:27.900
we have like several months in between but you guys go through these people like water
00:42:32.120
we just get right to the point glenn 66 percent of a vote he's got a clear consensus to enter um and
00:42:40.660
become our next prime minister and he'll do so soon okay so how he gets along with
00:42:45.400
uh donald trump right yeah so a few years ago he maybe said not so nice things about donald trump
00:42:53.840
however since trump's been elected and since he's been in more senior positions um the rhetoric's
00:42:59.520
been far nicer um earlier today once it was announced that boris will be the next prime minister
00:43:05.400
trump tweeted him saying that he would be a great prime minister um similarly anka trump shared the
00:43:11.280
sentiment however she said he'll be a great prime minister of united kingston um a bit of a sparing
00:43:17.080
error there but that's okay still the same sentiment is being held so yeah they get on um and i'm seeing
00:43:24.260
across so many commentators today across twitter and everywhere else are saying how similar these two men
00:43:31.440
are however i couldn't disagree more i think they're fundamentally opposed in so many different
00:43:35.740
ways in what way well firstly boris johnson he ran the brexit campaign on the idea of creating more free
00:43:46.240
trades to open the uk up to the world whereas trump i feel has more protectionist uh sentiments in regards
00:43:53.660
to his trade wars brexiteers wanted a trade deal with china uh trump wanted a trade war with them
00:43:59.460
okay so hang on let me let me let me answer these as you go along i agree with what you just said
00:44:05.300
you're absolutely right however trump was one uh trump won because there was this feeling from the people
00:44:12.500
that nobody in government was listening to the people and they were sick and tired of it and that's what
00:44:19.400
put him into office kind of the same thing nobody was listening to the people on brexit and they got sick
00:44:25.180
tired of it okay sure so i agree that perhaps the sentiment behind people feeling disenfranchised and
00:44:33.800
angry with the government did propel both brexit and trump however the rationale behind both votes were
00:44:41.180
completely different it was for example uh boris johnson is pretty pro-immigration for example too he
00:44:48.800
favors the australian point style um system which basically sees immigrants fill our country um
00:44:56.700
depending on the skills they have and our current shortages in our economy um whereas trump i i think
00:45:04.040
is far far more different on that i think trump would i i think trump would be okay with if we had a
00:45:10.400
point system we don't have a point we have no system now you just come on in he like hey you know i i i i i like the
00:45:18.740
red in your flag and so i'd like to come in and we let you in you don't have to have any anything
00:45:24.160
to be let in okay good i've got your most final point so boris johnson he i see he is a classical
00:45:31.600
scholar he is a historian you mentioned yesterday how you read his book on churchill yes um he often
00:45:36.760
uses utterance from great ancient philosophers in his speeches he does that all the time um whereas i
00:45:42.920
don't think we can apply the same intellectual rigor uh to trump if you believe if you wish to dismiss
00:45:51.320
the ancient wisdom of fortune cookies you may be right they're definitely not the same person i mean
00:45:59.140
there's definitely differences um and i the trade thing is one of the biggest you know issues i think
00:46:03.960
i think the difference with trade in that like you know daniel hannon i thought was a great voice for
00:46:09.520
brexit and that he constantly uh emphasized wanting to open up free trade to the world and that's
00:46:15.780
definitely not what trump um ran on though i i will say it's a low priority issue i think for most
00:46:21.560
american voters it's just it's not something that i don't know that trump got elected because of his
00:46:26.580
trade position no he got more elected i think you know some people really liked it some people really
00:46:31.160
hated it but they saw it as like it's you know it's it's way down the list and it was not a top
00:46:36.040
priority where brexit really that was a big focus i don't know settle this for us alexander i because
00:46:42.120
i would say that the trade thing was was probably bigger for the politicians and the elites but it was
00:46:51.100
the cultural things and the immigration uh standards and the living up to rules that weren't weren't coming
00:46:58.740
from england that was the main force and driver behind brexit which which one is accurate or more
00:47:05.740
accurate so i think the trade aspect is really crucially important and unlike with trump where
00:47:11.780
you say it was is more a minority issue for brexit on every single thing all the practices did it was
00:47:18.240
so we could create a free and open global trading britain that's what they said um and right but was
00:47:25.620
that what the people were saying for instance you could say you could say that donald trump and i don't
00:47:32.540
believe this to be true at all donald trump is a racist that just doesn't like mexicans you could
00:47:37.520
say that you could say that all you want and that's what you're fighting against but you wouldn't really
00:47:42.020
be fighting against something that was real because what the people are saying is we want to know who's
00:47:48.400
coming across our borders and we'd like it to be controlled there's nothing wrong with mexicans or
00:47:54.560
anybody else from honduras it's just we want to make sure that this is a controlled entrance so are the
00:48:01.740
political elite having that conversation um about trade but the people are saying no it's more visceral
00:48:09.520
than that it's about my heritage my culture my country yeah sure so following the when we did the
00:48:17.240
brexit referendum on 23rd of june 2016 um all the exit polls that persuaded for lead voters
00:48:24.440
showed the biggest issue was the diplomatic size the fact that laws were being made in brussels
00:48:31.280
um with very little say from the uk members of parliament um and how unelated officials were
00:48:38.660
creating our laws so that was the biggest and then beneath that i would say then trade and immigration
00:48:43.780
sovereignty is really i mean it encompasses all of these issues yeah um because i mean trade policy
00:48:50.440
is part of it and immigration policy is part of it and i think that's what we feel here in america
00:48:54.480
remember we're a collection of states we're the the union uh of states and uh we're feeling the loss
00:49:03.060
of our sovereignty as states not not the same we've lost it a long time ago compared to you guys but
00:49:09.340
we still feel that loss of individual sovereignty so let me ask you this you had a british ship taken
00:49:16.820
by iran uh our department of state issued a statement said you know great britain can take care of their
00:49:24.420
own uh you know issues so it's not something that involves us how is boris johnson uh when it comes to war
00:49:32.340
donald trump is is is not a hawk when it comes to war at all uh but he is he is at least a tough
00:49:40.680
talker um where's boris johnson so i'd say boris johnson is quite similar in the sense that he doesn't
00:49:49.860
want to be evading iran iraq afghanistan anytime soon he is um seemingly cautious about ground intervention
00:49:57.900
the same way uh donald trump is and when he was foreign uh minister of foreign secretary of the
00:50:05.940
uk between 2016 and 2018 that's when the russian spy incident in salisbury happened when uh russian
00:50:13.320
agents were uh caught using poisonous materials on uk soil and accidentally killed a member of our
00:50:21.200
public and he was foreign secretary at the time and instead of uh trying to jump to military action or
00:50:27.480
any sense he gathered the world gathered the nations of the world and in a joint effort under
00:50:33.440
his leadership expelled uh spy he got every nation to expel spies from their country um and he was more
00:50:42.460
pushing for sanctions on russia as opposed to any military intervention which is i think it's definitely
00:50:47.880
wise and in a similar category to trump i think that's good okay alexander thank you hold on one more
00:50:52.980
question before you go alexander so what i keep reading is if johnson comes in and tries to do a
00:50:58.800
no deal brexit they will uh they will wind up being very upset with him and then call for a new general
00:51:06.840
election and this whole thing could be changed again how does because i do not understand the the scope and
00:51:12.900
the nuance of the parliamentary democracy let me just let me boil it down to this you all seem to have a
00:51:18.840
stick up your butt when it comes to you know walking around a new tea time and then once you close the
00:51:24.340
doors you have somebody order order close the doors and you just wail on each other what's the deal
00:51:31.620
dude well yeah that's you're talking about john burke who's the speaker of the house of commons
00:51:36.820
famous whoa yeah um so it would be if a general election is called it would be because boris johnson
00:51:45.880
himself calls it and the reason he would do that is so that he can get more conservative members of
00:51:52.620
parliament into the government um and what that would mean is he has a greater mandate to pursue
00:51:59.140
brexit because at the moment the conservatives are in power but they're in power just by a little bit
00:52:04.180
they're in a minority government being propped up by other parties so a general election could be called
00:52:10.580
so the conservatives get a bigger proportion of the vote and that would give him the power
00:52:15.880
to more easily pursue a no deal brexit and so and let's just say they go in there and they just fight
00:52:23.260
with each other and they can't come up with any deal they can't come up with anything does it just
00:52:27.060
automatically go into effect a no deal brexit on the 31st yes the default setting in law is that we're
00:52:33.940
leaving on the 31st of october um and the only way they could overcome that is if a new law is created
00:52:39.700
but boris johnson and his cabinet and his cabinet will likely be brexiteers who have committed to the
00:52:45.900
no deal deadline um will have to sign it off so why would he why would he call for a general election
00:52:54.100
that he could lose if he if he could just wait and let brexit go through
00:53:00.460
well that would be it basically had given more legitimacy and a bigger mandate in the houses of
00:53:06.700
parliament um to push forward his agenda as opposed to creating more of an upfraud than it would
00:53:12.560
otherwise and do you think he uh would win that i think he would so when between 2008 and 2016 he was
00:53:21.540
mayor of london and london is a pretty far left liberal city and it had uh ken livingstone who was
00:53:27.860
essentially a marxist similar uh grain to jeremy corbyn and he managed to defeat him by a huge
00:53:34.120
margin and in the uk in the european elections which were held last in may uh the brexit party
00:53:42.940
won a huge proportion of vote they won 31 percent of a vote whereas conservatives under the remainer
00:53:48.460
theresa may only won nine percent so what boris johnson basically represents is he can unite
00:53:54.620
the brexit vote to be able to defeat jeremy corbyn because he will unite all the people who voted for
00:53:59.980
farage because he stands on the same policies pretty much uh in regards to brexit whilst he maintains
00:54:06.140
the conservative vote which should keep jeremy corbyn out of power because uh both the brexit party and
00:54:12.620
conservatives definitely don't want a marxisting government and rightly so yeah yeah corbyn is bad
00:54:17.660
news um alexander thank you so much appreciate it we'll talk again thank you all right bye-bye uh alexander
00:54:23.460
hammond uh he is uh from young voices find him at young voices
00:54:28.980
you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program
00:54:36.500
we have uh stephen kent he is a spokesperson from
00:54:49.460
young voices he's also the host of beltway bantha's podcast which i am appearing on in a couple of
00:54:56.580
weeks we'll talk about that perhaps if we have time but he's responding to a huffington post story
00:55:01.300
behold the millennial nuns welcome steven how are you hey good morning glenn good morning so uh so tell
00:55:10.020
me about the story from huffington post yeah well i think we both read it and this story in the
00:55:15.060
huffington post by eve fairbanks sort of chronicles this young woman looking at her friend group growing
00:55:21.620
up all becoming more religious over time and not only becoming more religious but becoming catholic
00:55:27.220
and then a large amount of them seeking out the life of nuns and this is in a group of like social
00:55:33.060
media influencer type girls who travel the world their lifestyle instagrammers their bloggers they're
00:55:40.580
the kind who kind of like wear their faith on their sleeve and do it very loudly and proudly
00:55:45.540
but really seeking out a life of really rigid boundaries in a way that you just wouldn't expect
00:55:50.900
you wouldn't really expect this from millennials right um but it turns out and eve fairbanks looks into
00:55:56.900
this that numbers are rising across the country that people seeking out the life of nuns is actually
00:56:02.420
dramatically higher than it was years before and the average age is 24 uh blew my mind but it also makes
00:56:09.940
perfect sense why does it make sense well you said this on my podcast over the weekend uh that young
00:56:16.580
people are starving for truth they live in a subjective world it is a subjective generation by and large
00:56:25.060
where the world today seems to tell you that it can be whatever you want it to be and that there is
00:56:29.620
nothing that is right and wrong there is no black and white and i think that is not squaring with a certain
00:56:35.780
subset of millennials who are looking for something deeper i think that eventually um really falls
00:56:43.220
into recognition of the majority of people no matter what age you can live that life for a while
00:56:50.340
where you know it's just my truth that matters uh but it will cause massive pain in your life and if
00:56:57.140
you ever want to get out of it you're going to have to recognize that there are some universal truths
00:57:02.340
that are just not changed yeah there was this uh this girl in this study or in this piece that it said
00:57:07.540
that uh when she was speaking to the huffington post she said there is nothing consistent in the secular
00:57:12.500
world it all is a moving target catholicism by contrast truth is a fact and your obligations to other
00:57:19.300
people and god cannot be trumped by personal truth that spoke to me as well i mean this this is
00:57:24.900
sort of the thing that i deal with in my own life uh with my own generation and i think a certain
00:57:30.740
part of the protestant population i grew up presbyterian i now go to a non-denominational
00:57:36.900
church and there does seem to be in this religious community still a take it or leave it approach to
00:57:44.180
religion right pick what you want a la carte um and it's not authentic it doesn't really work there's
00:57:50.900
something wrong there yeah um the the end of the study had talked about um this this research that
00:57:59.060
was done by the barna group and it showed that millennials by and large when they are asked
00:58:04.100
about this issue millennials of faith they are asked about this issue and they prefer traditional
00:58:09.380
churches they prefer cathedral settings they prefer the p the preacher behind a pew as opposed to
00:58:15.700
standing up and being like a motivational ted talk speaker um we're swinging backwards i mean i think this
00:58:21.540
is this has everything to do with millennials like building carpenter style houses and wanting craft
00:58:27.460
coffee they don't want keurig they want the real thing um and some of them are going very far to
00:58:32.660
find it um none is quite extreme but i think that's the whole point they're the omg generation they do
00:58:39.300
everything a little bit over the top i think there's you know there's there's something to be said right
00:58:43.380
now um everything is personalized you know in in somebody's life you can get it exactly the way you
00:58:51.460
want it um i grew up in the generation where mcdonald's was like no it's the big mac that's
00:58:56.980
the way we make it you don't like it go pound it's in the heating lamp our big macs yesterday were very
00:59:02.020
customized i would like to say uh so it's uh yeah i mean that's just the way it was growing up
00:59:07.780
because we were still in the you know the mass production you know uh world where we thought mass
00:59:15.300
production was great because you know 100 years before it hadn't been mass production well now that
00:59:21.140
we've had mass mass production now we're looking for things that are unique and customizable and and
00:59:27.780
uniquely us the the the idea of of swinging back to the old world i think starts there it's it's
00:59:41.060
is something handmade is it is it for the individual that kind of stuff makes a difference and it goes back
00:59:49.620
to um making things by hand or being quiet when when the world is screaming they're going to be a a yearning
01:00:00.420
for a quiet place when everything is loud and uh and vibrant there's something to a big dark cathedral
01:00:10.420
that is absolutely silent i mean they would also speak to the rise and uh the rise in yoga and
01:00:16.100
meditation as being something that people are seeking out they're they're tired they're everywhere
01:00:20.660
they go they're stimulated um and people don't have the discipline now in their daily lives to actually
01:00:26.100
be in a place of quiet there's not um i was thinking about this the other day because i think we are at
01:00:31.620
the i think we're approaching the moment that the beatles did uh revolution which is 1969
01:00:39.780
okay and 1969 was the year that all this nonsense just started to come apart and fall apart
01:00:47.700
and um that was the year of altamont uh and there was stabbings at these peace festivals like woodstock
01:00:56.740
um we had gone through the shootings of mark uh jfk malcolm x rfk mfk uh m uh martin luther king
01:01:06.500
uh and people were sick of it they were just sick of it and there was this this moment where the
01:01:16.500
beatles stepped out and said you want to hold and carry around pictures of chairman mao we want to
01:01:22.580
change your head anyhow no one will follow you um and they made a statement of you know what we're not
01:01:28.660
with you and that one iconic band even though they had all of this music that was supporting
01:01:36.980
this debauchery which they don't have now there is no cultural um there's no cultural tie that ties all
01:01:48.820
of this progressivism and uh and uh nonsense of how many genders there are there's no iconic look or
01:02:00.580
music you know like there was in the 1960s the one thing that accompanied the change
01:02:07.780
was a revival of the churches there was the jesus movement and it wasn't it wasn't it didn't go back to
01:02:16.340
the cathedrals it went to hey you know jesus is a cool guy and jesus that was a good example
01:02:24.340
changed my relationship status to in a relationship with the lord yeah right and that is that's the one
01:02:32.100
thing that's missing when that starts to happen i think it will officially be on the downslope
01:02:38.660
of this insanity yeah i mean i just relate with this this entire thing um you know where i've been on
01:02:44.100
the search for my own church for the past 10 years since i since i left home i'm 29 i'm 29 so i went to
01:02:50.580
college fell out of church then tried to get back in but started going to sort of these like rock band
01:02:54.980
churches right where it's like a ted talk and then there's bands playing i just i just felt oppressed
01:03:00.660
by the cheese just i couldn't do it and i've just found myself over the time just longing my presbyterian
01:03:08.580
church growing up where they sang hymns right and you were like the only young person in the pew they
01:03:14.100
didn't have any projectors to show you the words on the screen yeah i thought i was an outlier but
01:03:19.220
this entire piece in the post says that is actually a trend right now that is swinging it's really
01:03:24.180
strange because the my faith if we don't have projectors it's it's against rules to use projectors
01:03:31.060
very traditional right very traditional all old hymns it's an organ i mean it is as traditional as it
01:03:37.460
comes and a lot of people in my faith are like could could we can we turn the lights on is that
01:03:43.300
possible yeah could we have heat i mean uh and this whole thing has come and gone or is starting
01:03:52.340
to wane yeah of the big loud churches and i i like occasionally going in i mean yeah i'm not as
01:03:59.460
negative as on it but like i think that's the whole point right like but there's good ones and bad
01:04:03.460
yeah the choice is important right i think there's some things that it depends on what serves you
01:04:07.940
best right and what and what what uh furthers the the end mission and you go to a really good one
01:04:13.620
though you go to a really good gateway is a good uh yeah but they are that yeah the particular music
01:04:19.300
and your past guest mark batterson i used to go to his churches when i lived in washington dc
01:04:23.860
fantastic really great balance and that actually was not necessarily a rock band style churches
01:04:29.860
right ted talk speaker it was the movie theater church and i actually really liked that i connected
01:04:33.700
with it um just being right there seat to seat next to everybody it was very cool um that was a model
01:04:39.140
that worked for me a lot of people are going to church's chicken here in texas which is it's where
01:04:43.460
i get all of my religious experiences there's no preaching but jesus this is good chicken
01:04:50.020
uh yeah okay different steven uh it's uh good to talk to you good to have you wait wait before you
01:04:55.620
go star wars what about it what like so we have your podcast is about star wars and politics like
01:05:00.740
the fusion yeah intersection of those what is happening we have this the ninth star wars coming
01:05:05.540
out this is back to jj abrams right it is give us a little rundown of like the news of star wars because
01:05:09.700
it's really i care about it much more than okay star wars news here we go all right so this movie is
01:05:13.940
coming out december 20th episode nine the rise of skywalker it is going to be good i think if you're
01:05:20.580
trying to come out of the last jedi downturn we're going to end with jj abrams back of the helm as a
01:05:25.780
cinematic guy and we are going to get a more basic approach to star wars i think that actually rounds
01:05:31.860
this all down now what i want to say is that i'm not nearly excited about episode nine as i am about
01:05:38.500
what's coming out on disney plus the new disney equivalent of netflix here in november the mandalorian
01:05:45.220
how many people in your audience grew up wanting that boba fett movie wanting to be the bounty hunter
01:05:51.380
oh yeah well now you're going to get it ladies and gentlemen the mandalorian stars pablo pascal
01:05:56.980
from game of thrones and it's going to be an old west style sort of desert uh flick where uh the
01:06:03.700
mandalorian bounty hunter unnamed at this point is roaming an imperial owned planet uh to hunt down
01:06:10.260
sort of like people deserting the empire oh i'm all in on this i mean that's all that you need
01:06:16.260
from star wars i'm gonna have to get another subscription i'll cancel the police yeah that's
01:06:20.020
all that's amazing that one sounds great oh yeah so it's not boba fett per se but it is a bounty
01:06:26.500
hunter yeah just another mandalorian all right and you said the guy who did ryan johnson did the last
01:06:31.060
one he did i wasn't he did and he was slated for his own trilogy that was going to uh start in a
01:06:36.340
brand new timeline not involve skywalkers there were rumors it might be the old republic where
01:06:41.220
you had like jedi armies and sith armies um but disney went back on the agreement and they have
01:06:48.020
actually moved away from doing another movie with ryan johnson well um uh well i mean you just have to
01:06:53.380
assume that the last jedi just was so it was so tough so there's so many people so is this the do we
01:07:00.900
know is this is the last of the original story that is what they say right but kind of they always
01:07:08.900
say this yeah it's like no we are done with this jk five years later they'll be right right but they
01:07:14.740
they have been very clear that the skywalker story as we know it that's the that's the standout quote
01:07:20.980
as we know it is over after episode nine well who's left there is no one left right and that's
01:07:27.220
so it kind of really but that goes to the whole name the rise of skywalker who are they talking
01:07:32.420
about and then i have my theory would you like to hear it can i take a break and come back i'm
01:07:37.540
gonna take a break i don't know do we want a theory though i feel like sometimes i love theories
01:07:41.940
i love theories okay loves it the blaze radio network on demand
