The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guests： Pat Gray, Bill O'Reilly & Will Witt ｜ 3⧸8⧸19

00:00:00.000 Hey, welcome to the Friday podcast. We got a great one for you. We start with how to win the hearts

00:00:07.540 and minds of people. If we are going to beat socialism, we have to be better storytellers.

00:00:13.240 And I take a case of Ocasio-Cortez and something, a story that you probably heard in two lines from

00:00:20.640 your friends and you joked about it, but you missed the real story and how to make that point.

00:00:25.880 And we'll give that to you right at the top of the podcast. Also, Bill O'Reilly's here.

00:00:31.840 Where is AOC getting her money? Her fairy godfather here in Texas. Will Witt joins us. 0.71

00:00:37.300 The future of conservatism and the three things that he says are essential to build the left.

00:00:44.300 And also, I would encourage you, if you happen to be a subscriber to this podcast, you're going to see

00:00:47.840 one pop up on this weekend from Bob Goff. It's an interview with Glenn and Bob Goff. This guy is

00:00:53.320 an amazing guy. He's kind of like a superhero because he's the most positive person I've ever

00:00:56.960 met in my entire life. But he has a perspective on life that all of us should gain. It's hard to do,

00:01:04.560 I think, as well as he does it. But that's a really inspiring and a really good interview to put life

00:01:08.400 in perspective. It's going to be on this feed this weekend to look for. And it really kind of fits into

00:01:13.780 how to win friends, influence people, how to change the country. He's remarkable. Bob Goff,

00:01:20.240 on this podcast. It'll come out on Saturday, along with the other 25 interviews that we've done.

00:01:25.440 Just binge on those if you haven't listened to them. All right, let's get right to it. Friday's podcast.

00:01:36.320 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:01:40.200 So yesterday, Stu and I had quite a conversation, kind of lasted almost the whole show,

00:01:50.120 going back and forth in total agreement, but we couldn't let it go.

00:01:57.200 We're in agreement, but Stu finds it really irritating that we have to do this. And I suppose

00:02:03.080 he's right, but it is part of human nature. And that is people need the story. You need to connect

00:02:09.640 to the heart and conservatives suck at the story. And yesterday I was telling you, you know, all the

00:02:16.980 liberals will be on stage putting a show together and all of the conservatives will be running the

00:02:22.380 theater. And that's the way I actually want it because, you know, I want people who are really

00:02:29.220 focused on the facts and the numbers running the theater. I don't want those bean counters. I don't

00:02:36.720 want a show done by accountants. You know what I mean? I don't. And I don't want to work in a theater

00:02:41.580 where the accounting job are done by a bunch of actors. Even The Office, which was a show about

00:02:47.120 accountants, had to be done by liberals. So it's just the way the world is. So if we want to talk to

00:02:54.680 people, the best way to talk to people is through stories. And we suck at telling stories. And even

00:03:01.640 when they are handed to us, we screw it up. Even when they're handed to us, what happens?

00:03:09.240 We don't, we don't tell the story and we miss the opportunity because we speak our language only

00:03:16.300 to ourselves. And we expect everyone else to adapt to our language. Yeah. I think a lot of people too,

00:03:22.020 when they hear, well, we have to talk to the other side, think like gang of eight,

00:03:26.500 we need to have a compromise. No, it's, it's not about that. It's the whole point of having these

00:03:31.220 ideas and ideally eventually winning elections and, and implementing freedom for people is you

00:03:38.440 have to win people over who don't currently vote your way. Now, here's why this is going to become

00:03:44.040 increasingly important. Socialism is on the rise. Socialism. I'm telling you, if we go into a

00:03:50.780 recession, a deep recession during the Trump administration, I have a feeling we may be

00:03:57.620 looking at a real socialist in charge of this country and in charge of the house and the Senate.

00:04:04.380 We could be a socialist country that is moving away from the free market in 18 months. And when people

00:04:15.040 are panicked, they're not going to listen to facts. They're going to listen to, okay, he makes me feel

00:04:22.680 better. That makes me feel better. We have to talk about the heart because people are going to be

00:04:29.980 struggling much more than they are now, whenever this happens. And if we don't connect with people's

00:04:36.080 hearts, we are going to look like bean counters and, um, and we'll be talking stats and, and, and

00:04:42.820 everything that counts. But first you have to have the story. Then you move to facts. You have to capture

00:04:50.120 the heart first. So the conservatives had a great opportunity to do this this week. And we had it with

00:04:57.620 Ocasio-Cortez's mother. Now there was an article that was, was, uh, written. Uh, who was this by?

00:05:07.520 Uh, the guardian, I think. And it was a story that you probably heard about. And, and you did hear

00:05:14.960 about it from me in this exact way when it first came out. And that was, did you see the story about

00:05:21.040 Ocasio-Cortez's mom? Stu said, yeah, I did. It's crazy, right?

00:05:26.400 That's exactly how I said it too. Right. Yeah. I said, yeah. I mean, look, how, how are these people

00:05:33.580 so stupid? She, she struggled her old life. Then she moved to Florida to get away from the $10,000 1.00

00:05:40.860 taxes that she was paying on her property every year. What a hypocrite. I mean, she, 1.00

00:05:46.540 Ocasio-Cortez, what, 70% that she's moving because of $10,000. This shows that you don't know what they're

00:05:52.760 talking about. And it felt good, didn't it? To have that conversation. And it is a point.

00:05:56.860 It is. It's a very valid point that is worth making. Right. But if we want to expand our

00:06:02.100 circles, we need to be able to lead with the heart. Now, this is an amazing story. I went

00:06:09.420 back and I read this story and I thought this, this story tells everything you need to know

00:06:14.860 for our side. This is not a story for the socialists. This is a story for our side.

00:06:22.260 So let me give it to you. Blanca is a woman who makes lasagna for visiting relatives and watches 1.00

00:06:29.040 over her 78 year old mother who suffers from pulmonary fibrosis and often breathes oxygen from 1.00

00:06:35.800 a concentrator and allowed rescue mutt named Tammy. It's a story about mothers, but it's also a story

00:06:44.660 about daughters because Blanca always believed in her daughter, believed her daughter would be

00:06:49.740 important. And regardless of your opinion on Ocasio-Cortez, and believe me, you do have an

00:06:57.140 opinion on her daughter one way or another. There's no denying the wholesomeness of this story,

00:07:05.040 of this family. Now hear me out. Her dad and I were preparing for Alexandria's birth and

00:07:12.020 we were picking names, Blanca told the reporter. And he came up with Alexandria. I thought about for

00:07:18.820 a while and I thought, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, that's powerful. Yeah, that should be her name.

00:07:27.800 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the infamous millennial democratic socialist who represents New York's

00:07:34.880 14th district covering the Bronx and Queens in the House of Representatives. Her mother is

00:07:41.480 Blanca Ocasio-Cortez. Blanca married Sergio Ocasio in Puerto Rico and then moved to New York and she

00:07:48.380 knew very little English, but she learned. She worked the jobs that nobody else wanted. She mopped floors

00:07:55.520 at night. She drove school buses. She answered phones. She took orders. I'm going to come back

00:08:01.680 to that paragraph. Now, by the way, this was written by our staff. This is not the, this is not the staff.

00:08:08.960 This is not the story from the Guardian. In 1989, she gave birth to her first child, a girl in the

00:08:16.780 Bronx, New York City. Two years later, she gave birth to a boy. Until Alexandria was five,

00:08:22.640 the family lived in a one-bedroom condo in the Park Chester neighborhood of the Bronx.

00:08:27.380 Theirs is the typical American struggle. Sergio worked hard until he had his own business.

00:08:34.340 Then the small family pooled together their resources and took out a mortgage and he moved

00:08:39.200 into a small single family house with a yard in nearby Yorktown Heights. Blanca said,

00:08:46.560 we had a great life there. Alexandria was social. She always had a bunch of girls over. 1.00

00:08:53.380 She took over the shed in the backyard. She cleaned it up, put up curtains and photos,

00:08:57.160 made it look nice. It was like a clubhouse for her and her friends. Blanca talks about her daughter

00:09:02.520 in the way any good mother would, recalling her daughter. Always talkative. When I took her into

00:09:08.000 pre-K interview, she didn't ever let me talk. She kept going on and on and on about knowing the alphabet

00:09:13.720 and being able to count. In 2008, while Alexandria Cortez, Casio Cortez was a sophomore at Boston

00:09:21.060 University, her father, Blanca's husband, died of lung cancer. Overnight, Blanca had to become

00:09:28.640 the breadwinner. It was, I was cleaning houses in the morning and working as a secretary at a hospital

00:09:35.460 in the afternoon. It was difficult making ends meet. At one point, I had to skip the mortgage payments

00:09:40.780 and we almost lost the house. This is a story about a single mom. A single mom who raised her

00:09:47.800 family after her husband died of lung cancer. As the Daily Mail notes, Sergio's death put the family

00:09:55.140 into a tailspin. He didn't have any life insurance. He had two years of health care bills due to the

00:10:00.660 money his business brought in had dried out. Blanca recalls she faced foreclosure not just once,

00:10:06.560 but twice. It was scary. I had to take medicine. I was so scared. I had to stop paying for the

00:10:12.260 mortgage for almost a year. I kept expecting someone to knock on the door and to kick us out

00:10:17.700 at any time. There were even real estate people coming around to take photos of the house for

00:10:22.660 when it was going to be auctioned. The worst is I only had $50,000 left to pay on the loan.

00:10:28.400 But funny enough, it was the bank. The bank, not the welfare office, not the government or the local

00:10:37.540 church that helped her. It was the bank. I prayed and I prayed and I prayed that things would work

00:10:47.360 out. After the children graduated from college, I figured it was time for me to move to Florida.

00:10:55.440 These days, Blanca lives in Florida, a lakefront community of about 16,000 people near Orlando.

00:11:01.820 She moved there just before Christmas in 2016. She had been paying $10,000 a year in real estate

00:11:07.640 taxes in New York. Now she pays $600 a year. When she first got here, the world, her world was much

00:11:14.620 different. Her daughter was a bartender, hadn't filed paperwork. I love privacy and calm, Blanca said.

00:11:21.120 I don't like the limelight for myself and my family, but it seems that God's played quite a joke on me

00:11:26.400 with this politics stuff. Now, I don't know if the Daily Mail was sent there to do a hatchet job or

00:11:33.220 what. But the story is tempting. Taxes are so severe in New York that even a mother of the wild-eyed

00:11:41.480 Democratic Socialists representing that area can't even afford to live in the community.

00:11:46.540 But really, this is an amazing story of America. It is a tragic story of a love lost and a family

00:11:57.700 shaken apart due to illness, lung cancer. It's a story of perhaps the evils of smoking.

00:12:07.500 It's a hero story. A hero story of a mom who came to America not speaking any English, but didn't rely

00:12:18.700 and close up in her own community. She struggled and she fought at an older age to be able to learn

00:12:25.740 English and speak English and then immerse herself because she knew if she spoke English,

00:12:32.660 her family would have an easier time and her family, who knows, her children could go on to be 0.68

00:12:40.420 representatives, serve in the United States Congress in one generation.

00:12:48.280 It's a sad story. It's a sad story of the collapse of community. If she felt alone and felt that there

00:12:59.320 was no one in her community, that her church didn't come. She seems religious. She prayed and she prayed

00:13:08.320 and she prayed. But it is again that hero story that in America, if you're willing to work, you can not

00:13:18.320 only make it, but you can send your kids to a great college. No matter how hard you struggle, if you're

00:13:26.640 willing to sacrifice and work, you can send your kids to Boston University. They can have a great

00:13:35.200 education, not repeat your struggle. It is a story of the American family that struggles every day, but

00:13:46.240 finds joy in the struggle. It's a story of the idyllic, what we all dream of America being like that. Yes,

00:13:55.600 we might have a small little house, but we've taken this old garage in the back and we fixed it up and

00:14:01.280 we've hung some curtains and it is a place of imagination and joy for our children.

00:14:11.360 It's a story about

00:14:14.720 how the lie of Mr. Potter at the bank, who is just a greedy cigar chomping

00:14:23.120 monopoly guy

00:14:24.320 who will take your home, even though you only have $50,000 left to pay for it. You've struggled your

00:14:33.280 whole life. Then your husband dies. A tragic story. The evil capitalist comes in, swoops in, takes the

00:14:41.840 money, takes the house and destroys the family. No, this is the Jimmy Stewart view of America where the

00:14:51.520 bank comes in and the bank works it out because you only have $50,000 and you are working.

00:15:02.800 This is a great story, a great story for every conservative to tell because as I will show

00:15:11.840 you in one minute, it has every piece of our argument in it.

00:15:21.520 So listen to the Ocasio-Cortez story. What we said to you earlier this week when this story

00:15:34.080 came out was, can you believe it? Look at this. What hypocrites, right? We're not inviting anybody

00:15:40.800 else to join our group. If you don't agree with us, if you've read that story and you're like,

00:15:46.000 I like this family, you're immediately turned off by the people who are like, what about you hypocrites?

00:15:53.280 Instead, engage with the story. Tell the story. Make the story yours.

00:16:00.000 We as conservatives have to learn how to tell a story. Here is a couple that falls in love.

00:16:08.160 They are in Puerto Rico. They moved to New York. She knew very little English. Okay, now we have,

00:16:16.000 do we love immigrants or not? Yes, we love the immigrants who want to be here. She wanted to be

00:16:22.480 here. She wanted to be an American. She wanted a better life for her children. So what did she do?

00:16:30.720 She learned how to speak English. She mopped floors at night. She drove school buses. She answered phones.

00:16:38.960 Nowhere in this story is her welfare story. Nowhere in here is her complaining. Nowhere. 0.91

00:16:46.080 She and her husband, they come here. They live in a small one-bedroom apartment in New York.

00:16:54.000 I gotta believe it wasn't very nice. But he says, we're in America now. I can build my own business.

00:17:02.320 And he builds a successful business. He is an entrepreneur. He starts his own business. He

00:17:08.960 doesn't wait for a guaranteed government job. He has a dream. And he comes here and he starts his own

00:17:15.920 business. Now, I don't know why he had lung cancer. Maybe it was from smoking. I don't know.

00:17:22.240 But he dies tragically. And yes, he has bills that pile up because he's a small businessman.

00:17:30.800 Who in this audience who runs their own business cannot relate to that? You're the last one to get

00:17:37.120 the money. Everybody else comes before you if you're a businessman. So he tries to keep his business

00:17:45.120 going while he's struggling with lung cancer. The bills pile up. Then he dies.

00:17:54.080 But before he dies, they had built a life to where they could get out of that small little apartment

00:18:02.400 and get a small little house. And I mean, it is that house, if you've ever seen it.

00:18:08.180 It's a miracle on 34th street. Remember when she's like, stop the car, stop the car. Oh, I knew if

00:18:16.420 I just believe that's what Santa told me. I believe, I believe, I believe that's the little

00:18:22.420 salt box house that they bought. That's an American dream. They bought it and they paid for it.

00:18:30.500 They got all the way to $50,000 away from paying that house off. They were good people that worked

00:18:37.540 hard. And when he died, she continued. But it was the bank, not the welfare office that swooped in.

00:18:45.380 Here's a woman who prays, who was comforted by God, who is now taking her mother in and taking care of

00:18:56.820 her family, not sending off to some government state institution, but bringing her into her home.

00:19:07.620 But because she wants to do all those things, she needs to move to Florida. Because the government, 0.64

00:19:14.100 who really in this story hasn't given her jack, except the opportunity to be an American.

00:19:21.060 What's the story, Pat, that you heard earlier this week about Ocasio-Cortez's mom?

00:19:37.140 Uh, she fled New York because of high taxes and went to Florida. 1.00

00:19:41.700 Did you have any idea her story was like the story I just told?

00:19:46.420 No idea whatsoever. Right. None. That little tidbit came from that story.

00:19:52.900 And conservatives only took that piece of it. It's a what a hypocrite.

00:19:57.860 Instead of looking at the entire story.

00:20:00.660 Which is legitimate. Yeah.

00:20:01.700 It's totally legitimate.

00:20:02.660 For her, for at least Alexandria. Yeah. Yeah. Right.

00:20:05.940 And I don't know anything about her mom, if her mom shares socialist values, or I don't know any of that.

00:20:10.980 I don't have any idea. Don't care if she does. Um, her story is the story of America.

00:20:17.940 Mm-hmm.

00:20:18.500 You're not going to, you're not going to Puerto Rico and, uh, having that story.

00:20:23.940 You're not going to Mexico and having that story. Here's somebody who didn't even speak English.

00:20:28.660 And fought to speak English. Yeah.

00:20:30.660 I mean, we, we would hear, I'm sure from Alexandria, the opposite, that she shouldn't be forced to do that.

00:20:35.540 Right.

00:20:35.700 But that's a, I mean, she did it to make her life, the life better for her family.

00:20:39.860 Right. And in one generation, one generation, her, your daughter's now in the, in Congress.

00:20:46.900 No, no, not just in Congress. She is the leading force in Congress, apparently, which is an amazing

00:20:54.100 thing. Amazing. In one generation, God bless the USA. Absolutely. And for the bank to show mercy

00:21:01.780 to people like you never hear that story. No, you never hear that.

00:21:04.820 You always hear about evil bankers and how dastardly they are as capitalists.

00:21:10.260 They had $50,000 left on this house that was not worth $50,000. It was a lot more.

00:21:15.380 So they had $50,000 left to pay on that house.

00:21:17.620 And they could have foreclosed. Yes.

00:21:19.380 Did you say it was a, it was a year of her not paying?

00:21:21.940 Of her not paying. Wow.

00:21:23.540 And they were going to auction the house, everything else. But in the end, she talked to the bank and

00:21:29.300 the bank worked it out with her. Amazing.

00:21:31.940 That's a great story. It's a great story. That's a great story. And that is a story that you,

00:21:37.380 you'll notice nowhere in that story is, and the government came down and shut down the evil

00:21:43.220 bank. No, the government in that story is charging her $10,000 a year in property tax is taking her 1.00

00:21:53.460 money if she had enough and taxing her. She nowhere in here is the government swooping in to save the 1.00

00:22:02.740 house. Nowhere in here. This is a story that was the typical American story. That was the American

00:22:10.500 dream that I could come here. I could build a business. I could do it my way. I could have a

00:22:15.300 little, just a little plot of land, a little house where I could raise a happy family. I could send

00:22:20.740 my kids to a great university and then I could retire and go someplace that she's lived the American 1.00

00:22:28.740 dream. I remember talking, this happens so often on the left. I remember talking about this years

00:22:32.660 ago because Pat, you read Barack Obama's autobiography back in the day. And I remember you

00:22:39.140 making this point. That's a real American story. Yeah. Incredible. And if he would have,

00:22:45.140 if he would have taken that from his story and, you know, and people talk about why he said that

00:22:51.380 before he said, he said it a couple of times that his life is a pretty charmed one. His,

00:22:57.300 if he would have been, he would have done that in every speech, if, and lived it, if he actually

00:23:03.220 lived what he said in his speech in 2006, four, if he would have actually lived that,

00:23:12.180 if that was who he was at his core, but he wasn't, he was, he was a redistribution of wealth. He was a

00:23:20.260 pay them back for all of these problems. He was vindictive in many ways. That's what the core of his

00:23:26.380 being, he had some, some, some resentment and it was time for payback. You sit in the back of the bus.

00:23:34.780 Somebody who really understands the American story knows that that quote that he did, you get in the

00:23:41.580 back of the bus. That is the exact opposite of what allowed him to become president of the United States

00:23:51.500 with while we're fighting people called Barack in the Middle East, he becomes president of the United

00:23:59.980 States. And he does it with a, a crazy, crazy upbringing and he becomes the president. And we

00:24:08.460 were excited and we heard, not all of us were because of his policies, but we were excited that

00:24:13.900 it broke the barrier of a black man. And if he would have just let that part and be a celebration

00:24:23.820 and say, look, if I can do it, anybody can do it. Except that wasn't his attitude. It wasn't his attitude.

00:24:30.700 He really took the opposite, which was like, you know, everyone's really racist when his own story

00:24:35.100 sort of disproves it. People don't care that people don't like people who lived in other countries.

00:24:39.100 They're foreign. They're different. Well, he lived in other countries and he came back here and became 1.00

00:24:42.860 president of the United States. It's too rough with the name of one of our enemies, Barack Hussein

00:24:47.580 Obama. And, and Hussein was the name of the guy we were fighting at the time. And Obama was one

00:24:53.740 letter away from the other guy we were fighting. Right. Like I, I remember hearing that, but when

00:24:57.500 he first started running and someone made that observation, look, this country is no way they're

00:25:00.940 going to elect a guy with those two names. And there it is. And we did happen. You know,

00:25:05.900 a guy who they talk about been transformative. They talk about life. He could have been

00:25:10.380 absolutely transformative. He was, he was transformative in the wrong way, wrong way,

00:25:14.780 just the way he chose to take those things. I mean, you know, it was always about how life is too

00:25:19.420 hard on people who don't have enough money. And look, life is hard at times. However,

00:25:24.380 he was able and his family was able, even though they had an unstable family for a large portion of

00:25:29.180 his upbringing, he was able to overcome that, get into college, achieve all these things,

00:25:33.660 eventually become president. He didn't even take the opposite.

00:25:36.220 He was never even on the American mainland until he was 19 years old. He was in Hawaii and Indonesia

00:25:43.900 the rest of his life. So it's a pretty amazing story, a broken family.

00:25:49.020 And I think, yeah, and I think this goes back to a central progressive belief. Like Barack Obama,

00:25:56.460 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, they are both very aware that these things can happen, right? They've

00:26:03.180 happened to them. But they think they are special. Yeah, they're the only ones.

00:26:07.260 Most people, they are just, they just happen to be lucky and great achievers and they're amazing.

00:26:11.980 But there's so many people who just can't do it like I can.

00:26:14.380 See, that is the exact opposite. I mean, I have led a really charmed life. I came from a broken

00:26:21.420 family. My mother committed suicide. We had the same thing going on. My, my, my childhood was,

00:26:28.940 are we going to lose the family business? Uh, my mother, we moved to a very, very inexpensive

00:26:35.580 house. Uh, and my mom struggled to make the payments on that. I mean, we, I, I live that life.

00:26:43.100 And now look at me and I don't look at me and say, oh yeah, it's me. I'm special. I look at other

00:26:49.660 people and like, you can do it. Yeah. You can do it. Yeah. You know, you may get to the end and go,

00:26:56.620 I wish I wouldn't have done it, but you can do it. That's true. And it's, it's, it really is a

00:27:03.740 fundamental way of seeing the world differently. Yeah. You know, the progressives just, they see

00:27:08.460 it as I, I was lucky because I'm special, but no one else can do it. So I have to help them

00:27:14.060 because I'm so wonderful. Uh, and I'm the only one who could make these decisions appropriately

00:27:17.740 for these people where conservatives say, look, you know, cause I mean, I know we've all said this,

00:27:22.940 you know, uh, like we, you know, you feel lucky to be able to be in a position where

00:27:27.100 you're able to do a job that you love and, and, and live a, some comfortable life. And we've all

00:27:32.880 certainly married up all of these things that happen. And it's like, I look at that always as

00:27:37.580 like, gosh, I mean, how does this even happen? Right? Like you worked hard and you tried your best

00:27:41.460 and you fell into a couple of good things and, and, and wonderful things happen because there's a lot

00:27:45.500 of opportunity here and anybody can do it right. Like that's how I think conservatives look at the

00:27:49.800 world. And it's exact opposite. It's that it's the, uh, shepherd and sheep or the sheep, um,

00:27:54.360 and the rancher thing you've pointed out a few times where progressives just believe you have

00:27:58.020 to be a rancher to control all the sheep and conservatives believe, you know, people can

00:28:02.140 do these things on their own. They're not, we're not sheep. Yeah. And they think the ranchers think

00:28:06.300 that anybody who says I can do it on their own is a wolf. No, they're not. They're not.

00:28:12.560 People aren't sheep. There are wolves, but the person who says, I want to go do it on my own.

00:28:19.300 It's just because they're not a sheep. It doesn't make them a wolf. Everybody has a chance to be a

00:28:26.040 shepherd, a sheep, a rancher. You can, you go make your own way. And everybody who does make their

00:28:33.240 own way is looked at as the wolf. Now you're, you're a bad person. If you, uh, are successful,

00:28:38.820 it's, I mean, the people who are successful and who have, uh, achieved a lot like billionaires

00:28:46.180 are now looked at as if they're immoral. Well, well, why, how, for those who, I mean,

00:28:52.780 I think you could make the case that some are, I mean, you look back at some of everything is

00:28:58.220 everything, right? Yeah. There's a lot of poor people that are immoral. There are, there are 0.88

00:29:02.280 cops that are bad. Majority good. There are homeless people that are bad. Majority good. Uh,

00:29:10.820 there's just, just, it's, it's, that's people that's people, but we focus on the bad and we say

00:29:18.620 that's all of them. And it's not all of them. There are those bad ones. And the problem with

00:29:24.620 our system as we become more and more socialist is you get special deals. Well, now the system is

00:29:31.960 starting to be corrupted by the few bad because the few bad generally like to hang out where there's

00:29:38.860 lots of power. And so when you start to build this government with corrupt individuals and I, I

00:29:46.660 put, I put Facebook and, uh, and, uh, Google into that category, they are now spending more money than

00:29:56.280 anybody else in lobbying on Capitol Hill. But you don't hear about that. You just hear about the evil

00:30:01.100 Jews that do it. Google spends more money on Capitol Hill than anyone else. They, they are writing 0.99

00:30:08.680 laws. You don't hear about that. You don't hear about that. Why? And this thing yesterday, if, if the

00:30:17.100 Democrats don't wake up to how corrupt their party has become, and I don't mean corrupt in business or

00:30:25.900 money alone. I mean, corrupt with the hatred of Jews that make no mistake on Monday at five o'clock, 0.80

00:30:35.480 we're doing an expose of a couple of people in Congress and their, their, uh, their love for the

00:30:43.480 Jewish people, you know, they're from Somalia. And so they just don't know, uh, well, they knew how to 1.00

00:30:50.500 run for Congress. They knew how to get elected. They're not dummies. How did they not know that we

00:30:56.980 shouldn't say these things about Jewish people? Maybe, maybe then they're not smart enough or good 1.00

00:31:02.460 enough to be in Congress. We're going to show you how much they do know and their connections.

00:31:07.560 We're going back to the chalkboard on Monday. And if Americans don't see this Democrats, good

00:31:15.160 Democrats that are just your average person in the middle of the country who loves America just as

00:31:21.520 much as, as any conservative does. If they don't see that their party has jumped the shark and is now

00:31:30.520 a socialist, not Sweden, an actual end of the free market socialist, uh, uh, party that, that now is

00:31:42.020 a breeding ground for Muslim anti-Jewish hatred, uh, you're going to lose your country. You're going

00:31:52.260 to lose your country. And that country is worth saving for all of us.

00:32:00.520 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:32:14.520 Like listening to this podcast. If you're not a subscriber, become one now on iTunes.

00:32:19.280 And while you're there, do us a favor and rate the show.

00:32:22.820 Bill O'Reilly writes right at this second, four committees in the house of representatives are

00:32:27.680 thinking up more ways to investigate president Trump instead of concentrating on solving vexing

00:32:32.780 problems like a $22 trillion debt, a record trade deficit with China or thousands of poor people

00:32:39.680 trying to surge the Southern border. These Democrats in the house are worried about things like Ivanka

00:32:44.780 Trump getting security clearance from daddy, the liberal emergency. Bill O'Reilly is here to talk a

00:32:51.140 little bit more about it. Hi, Bill. Hey, you guys. How you doing? Good. So tell me about the liberal

00:32:57.780 emergency. Yeah, I know. I know. Okay. So it's a, the national emergency that Donald Trump declared

00:33:05.140 on the Southern border. Uh, the far left has declared a national emergency as well, but it's not

00:33:12.000 the same. Their national emergency is Donald Trump's president. Okay. That's the national emergency

00:33:18.520 for many in the democratic party in the far left progressive movement. All right. So everything

00:33:24.080 else, every other issue is subordinate to that. We got to get them out no matter what it takes.

00:33:32.680 We don't have to be honest. We don't have to be, uh, um, insightful. If people get hurt in the

00:33:39.380 process, well, that's collateral or damage because it's a national emergency. Donald Trump's got to get

00:33:44.220 out and we're going to get them. So that's where we are in this country. So if you're expecting

00:33:49.260 Congress over the next two years to solve any problems, they're not going to. And as you pointed

00:33:54.760 out, one of the, you know, they can't even get one of their members, the democratic party to say,

00:34:00.840 um, you know, maybe calling people who support Israel, uh, greedy money people. Um, that's not

00:34:09.280 really very nice or accurate. I'm sorry. I said that maybe that could happen. No, no, no, no, no.

00:34:17.420 They're not even going to do that. And they're not doing that because they don't, they don't want

00:34:21.700 to pull apart the coalition that is trying to get Donald Trump. I mean, that was the word from

00:34:27.700 Joy Behar on the view. Why are they doing this? Why do they even have to talk about this? They're,

00:34:33.380 they're, they're separating themselves when our target is Donald Trump in 2020.

00:34:38.380 That's right. But it's even a little bit more than that because Jay, Joy Behar doesn't have the

00:34:43.200 intellect to really understand what's happening in the country. Um, it's a little bit more than

00:34:48.340 that. So you do have a genuine fissure in the democratic party. And you're going to see that

00:34:56.560 in the upcoming campaign. When Biden gets in, you'll, you're going to see it that that'll really

00:35:01.820 crystallize it for everybody. So there's a genuine fissure between the far left progressives

00:35:07.920 who want socialism and, and, uh, green, uh, whatever they want. Uh, totally, totally

00:35:15.740 remaking the country because they feel the country is bad. And the traditional grant Democrats,

00:35:20.700 Pelosi, uh, that the party apparatchiks who basically just want power. They don't want a big realignment

00:35:28.540 of the country. They just want to run the show. So that fissure is there and it's real. And when

00:35:36.000 these young women in Congress come forth and say these insane things, the traditional Democrats go, 0.99

00:35:44.540 Oh boy, this is going to make it even harder for us to obtain power. So that's what's going on in

00:35:50.520 that party. Well, Bill, it doesn't, there come a time like the labor party, the labor party over in

00:35:57.600 England has gone so far left. Uh, they're run by a guy who has never taken the side of England on

00:36:05.680 anything stood with the USSR during the cold war, um, has never ever stood with, um, great Britain,

00:36:14.180 same kind of stuff we're facing here. Um, and he is radically anti-Semitic and in, um, uh, uh, you know,

00:36:24.300 in negotiations and, and in cahoots, I should say with Hezbollah and Hamas, wildly anti-Semitic and 0.68

00:36:33.120 labor party members who are very left have now, I think seven of them have left the party and said,

00:36:41.280 this is not the labor party. This is becoming something entirely different. Do you see that

00:36:48.040 on the horizon at all? Are there any Democrats who will raise the flag and say, look, this is not

00:36:54.820 the democratic party? No, I really don't see it because they might think that, but if they do that,

00:37:05.280 the Twitter mob will descend on them and tear them to pieces. So you're saying that

00:37:11.260 British, British politicians have more, uh, courage than American politicians?

00:37:17.760 I can't generalize in that area, but I can tell you the fear among all politicians in this country

00:37:26.360 and the United States is they're going to get torn apart on the social media apparatus. So,

00:37:32.820 so you, you have to understand that this permeates into everything, everything. So no longer are you

00:37:39.440 going to have profiles and courage, you know, John F. Kennedy wrote a book profiles and that's gone

00:37:45.640 because if you stand up, if you're a Democrat in the house of representatives and you stand up and

00:37:51.920 you point fingers at the progressive movement and say, this is out of control. Not only are they,

00:37:58.040 uh, besmirching, uh, a great ally in Israel, but they're linking into anybody who supports Israel,

00:38:05.080 that they're money hungry. So this is out of control. And I, as a Democrat are not going to

00:38:11.040 tolerate it. I'm not going to tolerate it. Well, within 24 hours, your life is going to be, uh,

00:38:16.960 assaulted in a way that you cannot even imagine. You cannot even imagine. And, and these politicians,

00:38:26.220 they don't want that. They, none of them do. And, and neither do the media people. So if you're on

00:38:33.980 television, um, they haven't gotten a radio yet. I figured that's coming, but they haven't got

00:38:38.840 raised mostly television. If you're on television and you say what I just said, they're committing

00:38:44.420 sponsored boycotts. They're going to find somebody to accuse you of something. Um, and, and everybody

00:38:50.740 knows it now that this is, it's an extortion that is never before seen in the United States.

00:38:59.080 And I'm telling people, I'm trying to be Paul Revere here, that you've got to understand this,

00:39:04.680 the fear that is cloaked Washington DC and honest media people. How much outrage have you seen about

00:39:12.900 these comments about, uh, Israel and Israeli, uh, supporters? Well, I will have to see much,

00:39:19.060 much outrage from the powerful people in Washington. No, they merely mouth it. Yeah. And it's like

00:39:26.240 Pelosi, Pelosi yesterday goes, well, she didn't really mean it. Yeah, she did. Yeah, she did. Yeah.

00:39:33.480 I mean, if you try, if you trace her whole history, she absolutely meant it, but there's

00:39:39.280 Pelosi. Yeah. Yeah. She didn't really mean it. She doesn't understand the power of the word she says.

00:39:44.360 Just keep in mind what I'm saying to you. Never before in this country has there been such a threat

00:39:52.980 to honest reactions.

00:39:59.260 What do you mean? Honest reactions.

00:40:02.080 So if you feel that something is wrong and you stand up and that goes against the Twitter mob,

00:40:08.860 that goes against the progressive movement, they're going to try to destroy you.

00:40:13.520 Well, I mean, Bill, you and your family. Look, if you didn't get it from Brett Kavanaugh,

00:40:19.860 and I'm not saying you, Glenn Beck, you, Stu, I'm saying you, the listeners, if you didn't get it

00:40:25.000 from Brett Kavanaugh, if you didn't get what the potential for harm is now, then you'll never get it.

00:40:32.600 It is why, honestly, Bill, I have been trying so hard to try to bring conservatives together.

00:40:42.160 And we've we have to stand together, even if we vehemently disagree with each other.

00:40:48.200 We have to stay and stand together because they're going to pick us off one by one.

00:40:54.680 They're all they've been conservatives. It's not. Oh, it's anybody. Yeah.

00:40:59.600 You've got to go into the precincts of the independence and precincts of fair minded Americans.

00:41:05.640 I still believe maybe I'm naive after all these years that most Americans are fair minded

00:41:11.620 and that if they actually knew what was happening, I agree on a two on a two front basis,

00:41:18.160 the Twitter mob, the progressive movement funded by tens of millions of dollars combined with a corrupt media

00:41:25.920 that basically wants to run the country. These six media companies that control 90 percent of the national news flow

00:41:33.060 want to run the country. Jeff Bezos wants to run the United States.

00:41:40.640 They have all the money they want. They can't buy any more stuff.

00:41:44.040 So what's left? They want power. They're down at six companies.

00:41:49.660 They want to run the country. You know, that's what you're seeing.

00:41:54.500 It's amazing to me that the Democrats say that they hate money in the system and that these these these packs have too much money.

00:42:07.960 They have they're putting too much money into the system and look at Israel and and how Israel is just pumping all this money 0.69

00:42:15.900 and it's wrong and people should know about it. The leading.

00:42:21.920 What do you call it? Investment, I guess.

00:42:25.580 What do you call it, Stu? Leading lobbyists.

00:42:28.660 People who are putting more money in lobbying than anybody else are people like Google and you don't hear anybody saying a word about Google or Amazon or anybody.

00:42:40.680 That's that's where they're actually writing laws.

00:42:45.240 Google is actually writing bills and you don't hear anything about that.

00:42:50.540 They they want the power. They have the money.

00:42:54.860 They have the technology.

00:42:56.020 They want the power. But here's the best example that everybody can understand.

00:42:59.620 A congresswoman, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, we learn, is now being run by a multimillionaire out of Fort Worth, Texas,

00:43:08.000 who pays all her bills, who financed her entire campaign and is now being accused of funneling eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars out of that campaign into his private companies.

00:43:21.920 You know, the story, correct?

00:43:23.440 Yes. Well, I know some of it. I didn't know.

00:43:25.340 I know I know about the funneling money.

00:43:27.860 I didn't know about the the person right here in my own backyard.

00:43:34.540 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:43:38.000 You know, we have a really hard time talking to people right now, talking to people who disagree with us and our families are broken up.

00:43:52.980 Our friendships have been broken up and there is a podcast this weekend.

00:43:57.040 It's my podcast and I urge you to go to wherever you get your podcast and subscribe to the Glenn Beck podcast.

00:44:04.040 You will get every Saturday a one on one interview.

00:44:08.400 They last anywhere from an hour to 90 minutes.

00:44:10.920 They're uncut. They're they're very candid.

00:44:14.140 And a lot of times with people that I disagree with or people that I really admire.

00:44:19.120 Bob Goff is one of those that I really admire.

00:44:23.260 He is a guy who was an attorney and just changed his life, just totally changed his life and has this great attitude about, hey, I'm I'm I'm going to be friends with everybody.

00:44:36.040 I'm going to talk to everybody and I'm not going to sell out.

00:44:39.020 And but I can make a difference so much easier if I just listen to people.

00:44:46.120 Let me give you two cuts from this weekend's podcast.

00:44:49.200 Here he is, Bob Goff on dealing with difficult people.

00:44:53.160 I think you nailed it.

00:44:54.080 I think there's a lot of people that have awesome doctrine and lousy theology.

00:44:57.820 And this idea of it's easy to say to love your enemy until you have an enemy, until you have somebody that you feel disconnected.

00:45:05.100 I don't feel like I have enemies, but there's certainly people that are difficult for me to be around.

00:45:10.120 One of the realizations that I've had is that this idea of loving, difficult people, that I'm one of them.

00:45:16.320 I'm actually among the difficult people in other people's lives.

00:45:20.220 And I'm trying to say, how could I interact with people?

00:45:25.140 There's a for some people in faith communities, they're familiar with a verse that talks about like being ready to make a defense for the hope that's within you.

00:45:32.620 And everybody wants to like grab their swords and they leave out the second half.

00:45:38.040 And it said to do with kindness and respect.

00:45:40.760 And I think there's something beautiful about that.

00:45:43.000 Like take Switzerland.

00:45:43.940 They're not mad at anybody and I'm not mad at them.

00:45:46.620 So I, if you just walk around with a bobsled and a bar of chocolate, you can decide who you are in everybody's trying to decide what role am I playing in this?

00:45:58.220 And I think there's a tremendous latitude in that, but I just, the role of grace, the idea of when people just been kind to me, even when I've been wrong, that they just care more about our relationship than they do about winning an argument about something.

00:46:13.260 And there's something really respectful.

00:46:14.800 What has helped me with the people that, uh, like creep me out the most is to try to think of what is it that's driving this?

00:46:22.520 Like what's the thing underneath the thing?

00:46:24.580 And oftentimes it's just that they're really insecure.

00:46:28.180 Me too.

00:46:29.280 Like, uh, how do you respond when you get insecure, uh, in a setting?

00:46:33.840 Like, how do you deal with that?

00:46:35.860 I get really funny.

00:46:36.800 I get like, just, I get so, I start talking really fast and I get funnier and funnier than other people get mean as a rattlesnake.

00:46:44.640 So how do you deal with your feeling?

00:46:46.620 You get quiet and reserved.

00:46:48.440 You go turtle on that, like head, legs, tail, everything inside.

00:46:53.060 And so that even in our relationships that matter the most to us to just say, how do you deal with that?

00:46:59.060 And to say, how are we like, uh, going to react to people?

00:47:04.100 I, you know what I wear?

00:47:05.220 I'm muttering.

00:47:06.300 I remember those things from the seventies.

00:47:08.360 My wife's got one too. 0.99

00:47:09.820 And there's something actually beautiful.

00:47:11.220 What we do is we talk about, uh, how we feel more than what we want.

00:47:15.680 It would be an interesting experiment.

00:47:17.380 Try that for a week to take the people that you love the most and say, don't say, I want a hamburger.

00:47:22.580 Say I'm feeling hungry.

00:47:24.220 If we could get in touch with how we're feeling about something, I'm not a touchy feely guy, but that has been so helpful in my relationships to just talk about.

00:47:32.520 I'm feeling really insecure right now.

00:47:35.320 I know this sounds like, uh, you know, California crap.

00:47:39.620 Um, but he is, he is, he's so grounded and so successful.

00:47:47.500 When you hear his story, he's wildly successful, um, and grounded.

00:47:52.620 And I believe he has the answers.

00:47:55.140 If we are going to make it this next step, this is an important podcast.

00:48:00.120 Here he is on having picky conversations.

00:48:03.240 Listen to this.

00:48:03.760 I've never lost a case and it's not because I'm an awesome lawyer.

00:48:07.960 I'm an awesome picker.

00:48:09.280 I only pick an awesome picker picker.

00:48:11.360 Yeah.

00:48:11.640 I don't lose.

00:48:12.440 I only take cases that nobody could lose.

00:48:14.740 And so, so there's one of these things that just be a little bit pickier about the conversations that you're having with people.

00:48:20.960 And when you see this, say like, you know what?

00:48:23.260 I wouldn't trade our friendship for the trajectory of this.

00:48:26.880 And I don't, you don't have to work for NASA to know the trajectory of where this is going.

00:48:30.800 Say that wouldn't be worth it.

00:48:32.860 Um, you'll know that I am disinterested when I start talking about sports, but if you know why you're doing, you will not see me very often without wearing a Boston Red Sox hat.

00:48:45.260 And, uh, I'm not a Red Sox fan, never even gone to a game, but my neighbor, Carol was a huge Red Sox fan.

00:48:53.140 And she, we knew she was going to be in heaven by the end of the weekend.

00:48:56.020 So we made a deal.

00:48:57.440 I told her, Carol, I'll wear your Red Sox hat for the rest of my life and represent the Sox here on earth.

00:49:03.340 But in exchange, every time Jesus walks by you, you need to mention my name.

00:49:09.780 There's a person said, I knew you not, but here's the deal.

00:49:14.040 When I go through New York, people hiss at me and they just be like, cause they're rooting for the other team, evidently.

00:49:20.140 And if they knew that I was wearing my dead neighbor's hat, they would just actually have a different angle on that thing.

00:49:27.740 And I don't stop people to tell them the backstory, but I think if I could just assume in people that I don't understand, there's probably mountains of stuff going on there that I don't know about.

00:49:38.340 Uh, Bob Goff, uh, this weekend on the Glenn Beck podcast.

00:49:45.040 Um, I urge you to listen to it and send it to your friends, subscribe to the podcast.

00:49:50.620 And, uh, this one you don't want to miss.

00:49:53.140 There's a few of them that are just really remarkable people.

00:49:58.280 This guy, this guy lives in a neighborhood where the whole neighborhood changed, not just because of him, but a guy who lives down the street.

00:50:06.640 Um, when he took out his trash to the, to the, to the curb, you know, the big trash bins, he would go from house to house and he would take everybody's trash bin and take it and put it by the curb.

00:50:20.100 And then the next morning he would go and he'd put them all back.

00:50:24.580 Nobody asked him, nobody said anything.

00:50:26.320 And he just, he was like, that's what I want to serve my neighborhood.

00:50:29.720 I just want to be a good neighbor.

00:50:31.100 I mean, it's incredible.

00:50:33.920 Yeah.

00:50:34.460 How the bubble this guy lives in because people are just choosing to be different.

00:50:41.020 He's at the whole lineup of podcasts is really interesting when you have everything from like really amazing personal stories of, of people going through incredible things.

00:50:48.380 A guy who committed murder, who you just want to hug at the end.

00:50:51.540 Yeah.

00:50:51.980 Yeah.

00:50:52.440 Uh, people who are doing amazing things, you know, a young guy who's like, who's going across around the world to document world war two veterans, uh, making no money, making no money, but just doing it because he cares about it.

00:51:03.040 He's like in his early twenties.

00:51:04.420 He loves these veterans.

00:51:05.900 Yeah.

00:51:06.180 And everything too, you know, dissecting real like conservative, uh, you know, ways of thinking of, you know, deep into these books and talking, talking about with Deborah.

00:51:16.360 So about, you know, transgenderism and all of this stuff.

00:51:21.100 I mean, it there, it's a great podcast comes out every Saturday, 25 episodes of it or something like that.

00:51:26.800 26.

00:51:27.300 Yeah.

00:51:27.560 Subscribe now and then just start to binge on them.

00:51:30.340 You will love these a very, very different approach to, uh, what I do.

00:51:36.940 The Glenn Beck podcast available wherever podcasts are found.

00:51:39.880 The best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:51:46.880 Will Witt is a social media influencer.

00:52:02.980 He's with PragerU.

00:52:04.340 He's a guy who, um, knows his own mind and is now on a speaking tour, uh, talking about the three ways to beat the left.

00:52:12.660 Welcome to the program.

00:52:13.820 Thank you for having me.

00:52:14.740 I love being here.

00:52:15.380 So how old are you?

00:52:17.020 I'm 22.

00:52:18.300 So I'd be graduating as a senior in college, uh, right now if I would have stayed in.

00:52:24.980 How are you not a monster?

00:52:27.360 Seriously.

00:52:28.060 I mean, I watched you at CPAC.

00:52:29.560 You were, you're like Brad Pitt.

00:52:31.400 You're walking around and all the girls are like, oh, Will is so great and he's so smart.

00:52:36.800 I just love, I'd be a monster if I were you at 22.

00:52:40.180 Yeah, it's, it's tough, but it's hard sometimes.

00:52:45.300 But, uh, you know, Dennis has been such a huge mentor to me and has taught me so much that, I mean, that's why I work for PragerU specifically because of Dennis and his, his teachings to me has made me not a monster.

00:52:57.140 And he's wonderful.

00:52:58.280 You are lucky to have, uh, have that as a mentor.

00:53:01.820 He is, he is a remarkable man, uh, and has made such a huge difference, um, uh, in our country.

00:53:09.280 So you're, you're traveling now.

00:53:11.160 Are you speaking on campuses?

00:53:13.160 Yeah.

00:53:13.360 So I'm speaking at campuses.

00:53:14.360 I'm speaking at events.

00:53:15.420 Just last night I was in McAllen, Texas, speaking at the Lincoln Reagan day dinner down there.

00:53:19.680 That was a fantastic event.

00:53:21.180 I've never been down there or that close to the border.

00:53:23.260 Yeah.

00:53:23.460 It's great that there were so many Republicans there.

00:53:25.300 Yeah.

00:53:25.540 It's fantastic.

00:53:26.140 And, and you're talking about three ways to, to beat the left.

00:53:30.280 Yeah.

00:53:30.660 What are they?

00:53:31.180 So the first one is that we have to convince liberals that there are friends.

00:53:36.180 The left has duped liberals into believing there's a difference between left and liberals.

00:53:40.320 You can't use those terms synonymously.

00:53:41.940 Yes.

00:53:42.360 And that liberals need to be convinced that conservatives share the same values as them.

00:53:46.000 They believe in, um, the values of America.

00:53:48.480 They believe in the constitution, freedom of speech, the second amendment.

00:53:51.300 They don't like socialism.

00:53:52.700 Uh, the only difference really between liberals and conservatives in a lot of ways is that liberals believe in bigger government,

00:53:58.280 they've been duped by the left to believe that leftists are their friends and the leftists don't stand for any values that America was founded on.

00:54:04.840 Yeah.

00:54:05.100 And so we have to convince liberals that they are with conservatives.

00:54:08.400 Liberals used to fight for, you know, the, the bill of rights.

00:54:12.880 Right.

00:54:13.120 Um, and, and they, they were, they were radicals on those things, which was good.

00:54:21.520 A few weeks ago, I was painting this painting over here, which is, uh,

00:54:26.180 I love it.

00:54:27.000 Thanks.

00:54:27.440 It's, it's, it's, it's big government in bed with big tech and big social media.

00:54:33.500 And, and as I, as painting that, I thought, I can't believe Glenn Beck is the one painting that that should be coming from the left.

00:54:43.840 Right.

00:54:44.620 And, and they don't see it there.

00:54:46.960 They are actually promoting those things.

00:54:49.920 Right.

00:54:50.360 And the liberals who, who should believe this are blind to it right now.

00:54:55.560 Right.

00:54:56.160 It's crazy.

00:54:56.880 Yeah.

00:54:57.520 No, they've completely changed.

00:54:58.940 Right.

00:54:59.140 The left is, is so out of touch with America and what the common people want that they, I mean, their main mission is to destroy America with what they want.

00:55:06.000 They are for socialism.

00:55:07.440 They are against freedom of speech.

00:55:08.740 They want to silence you if you disagree with them.

00:55:11.200 These, these are not the values that classical liberals have ever stood on.

00:55:14.900 They'll tell you that socialism, Oh, stop using that and trying to scare people.

00:55:19.440 I don't want scary socialism.

00:55:21.860 We want Swedish socialism.

00:55:23.980 That's what they always say.

00:55:25.540 But now the, these people like Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders, they used to have to hide that they were socialists, right?

00:55:31.720 Now it's just, they say it proudly that they're socialists and they say democratic socialists.

00:55:36.440 Like that makes it better.

00:55:37.200 It's, it's ridiculous that we have people in Congress and, and in our, our country that proudly support these ideas.

00:55:44.400 But they've wanted to for a long time.

00:55:46.160 It's when I, when I was at Fox, I said, because I was getting heat because calling somebody a socialist, apparently it was, you're a racist for doing that.

00:55:55.080 Um, and they were calling me a racist and I, and I said this, and in a way I was trying to call them out because they want to tell you who they are.

00:56:03.960 You know, they really want to, they're proud that they are socialist and yeah, that's right.

00:56:09.660 And you know what?

00:56:10.920 There will be a few people that'll have to go, you know, they want to do it.

00:56:15.500 And I said, look, this is who they are.

00:56:18.220 And, and right now they're saying this, but there's going to come a time when the masks will come off and they'll just say, you're right.

00:56:24.640 Because you know what?

00:56:25.560 This free market system doesn't work.

00:56:27.600 And that's right.

00:56:28.700 If you, if that's what, if that's, uh, uh, what a socialist is, then I'm proudly that that's exactly what they're saying now.

00:56:36.360 Right.

00:56:36.500 And I think it's funny that these same people like Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders, Elon Omar, they claim that they love America.

00:56:43.060 Like when, at the state of the union, when Trump is chanting USA, they're chanting back USA, USA, but that it doesn't make any sense because you can't say you love America, but you want to radically transform it.

00:56:54.140 You know, Dennis always talks about how, if you have a wife, you don't love your wife, if you want to radically transform her.

00:56:59.840 Right.

00:57:00.500 And so it's the exact same thing.

00:57:01.740 These people don't love America.

00:57:03.140 They want to radically transform it.

00:57:04.620 Yeah.

00:57:05.300 I used to talk about how, uh, when Barack Obama said we want fundamental transformation.

00:57:10.980 No, if, if you have the Mona Lisa and you respect it, you restore it.

00:57:18.060 Right.

00:57:18.620 You don't fundamentally transform it.

00:57:21.460 Right.

00:57:21.780 And the new green deal, I don't think they're even serious about, I mean, I'm sure there are many are, but I think the people in Congress are not necessarily so serious about the green new deal being green.

00:57:35.340 Because the, the part that disturbs me in that bill, the one that actually was being presented, not the, you know, not the, the Ocasio-Cortez thing, talks about the fundamental transformation of America's economic system.

00:57:51.840 Right.

00:57:52.240 That's what they care about.

00:57:53.640 The whole green thing is a cover to get you to go in and fundamentally transform it and take away the free market.

00:58:01.100 Right.

00:58:01.660 Well, I just tweeted about this this morning is that there was an article from 1989 from AP news where they talked about, yeah, by 2000 entire nations, we're going to be destroyed by global warming.

00:58:12.000 Right.

00:58:12.300 Right.

00:58:12.540 And now it's 2019.

00:58:13.840 And that's of course never happened.

00:58:15.160 Ocasio-Cortez says 12 years.

00:58:16.520 It's a front for, for votes and for creating hysteria to get you to them, their side.

00:58:21.420 And they want to say that conservatives, Republicans are so anti-environment and they don't care about if seals are dying, you know, these sorts of tropes.

00:58:29.480 And that's so that they can win over votes, make us look bad because we don't care about something that is really a false narrative.

00:58:35.640 Of course, the climate is changing, but not in, not in any sense that these, these people are professing.

00:58:40.740 I, I, I grew up, uh, in the seventies and I remember when I was about your age, the joke was, where's the ice age?

00:58:50.300 Yeah, exactly.

00:58:51.040 You know, and, and they were saying at the time we, this was in time magazine.

00:58:55.000 We have to put soot black soot on the polar caps to melt them, to draw the heat in from the sun to melt them because we're all going to be living under ice.

00:59:08.880 It's amazing.

00:59:09.620 It's crazy.

00:59:10.500 You know, approximately 75 years before Will was born, there was a movie called the money pit that came out with Tom Hanks and Shelley Long.

00:59:17.280 And it happened to be on like HBO or something.

00:59:19.100 They're not even watching it.

00:59:20.060 And one of the recurring jokes throughout is, you know, this is a house that's like all, you know, it's a disaster to try to fix up.

00:59:25.480 And they're trying to get all these contractors to come over.

00:59:27.240 And every time they ask how long, whatever project it is, is going to take to finish, they always just say, ah, two weeks.

00:59:33.720 And three months later, they come back.

00:59:35.000 How much longer?

00:59:35.600 Two weeks.

00:59:36.060 And it happens over and over and over again.

00:59:37.760 That is the global warming argument.

00:59:39.440 It's always 10 or 12 years from any point.

00:59:42.600 From now, it's 10 or 12 years in the future.

00:59:44.420 From 10 or 12 years ago, it was 10 or 12 years into the future, which is today.

00:59:48.060 30 years ago, they said 10 or 12 years ago, there was a turning point.

00:59:51.400 They are never held accountable for these promises, they say, of doom that are coming our way.

00:59:57.080 And if they get their way, then it will be systematic.

01:00:01.780 Then it will be, well, because of what we did, we've postponed it another 10 or 12 years.

01:00:08.540 But we've got to take this next step.

01:00:11.280 Well, you have to realize this is our World War II, okay?

01:00:13.740 This is our World War II, which we're fighting against.

01:00:16.160 How insulting is that?

01:00:18.280 Oh, my God.

01:00:18.900 I can't believe that that would even cross someone's mind to say.

01:00:22.920 Think of the people that fought and died in World War II.

01:00:27.620 And we're like, yeah, you know what?

01:00:29.700 And I'm going to tweet that we should all have a 70% tax.

01:00:34.200 Because that's my World War II.

01:00:37.640 Wow.

01:00:38.340 The World War II actually ended in some vaporization of people.

01:00:42.280 Exactly.

01:00:42.820 Getting people to shop at Whole Foods is much different than World War II.

01:00:47.180 Our World War II is 0.9 degrees centigrade?

01:00:51.160 Really?

01:00:51.880 That's your World War II?

01:00:53.320 Is that even a full Celsius degree?

01:00:57.080 It's just incredible.

01:00:58.480 It's astonishing.

01:00:59.260 I was in West Hollywood a little while ago.

01:01:02.040 I'm sorry for that.

01:01:02.840 Yeah, I know.

01:01:03.200 Well, I live in Hollywood myself.

01:01:04.620 I'm sorry for that.

01:01:05.700 Well, no, I like it.

01:01:06.440 Because I like to be in places where there are people who disagree with me.

01:01:10.240 That's how I've always thrived.

01:01:11.360 Yes.

01:01:12.020 I have had a better life in Texas.

01:01:17.580 But I am not as sharp as when I lived in Manhattan.

01:01:22.140 Right.

01:01:22.360 Because when you're living and you're the only person within a three-block radius that believes what you believe,

01:01:30.120 you have to always be on your toes.

01:01:32.440 Right.

01:01:32.600 And there is something to be said for that.

01:01:34.360 Right.

01:01:34.700 Yeah, no, I'll tell you a story.

01:01:35.980 I was actually, I was out, this was a few months or about a month and a half ago, two months ago.

01:01:41.060 And I'm out and I meet this girl and we're talking and it's a lot of fun.

01:01:44.780 And then I show her my social media.

01:01:46.360 She's like, okay, I got to go.

01:01:47.420 Like, let's go out some other time.

01:01:48.920 I show her my show and my social media.

01:01:50.240 And the first thing on there, it's a picture of me with some guns.

01:01:54.380 And then she tells me, she says, oh, F off and then leaves.

01:01:57.840 That's like, this is the tolerant left of, I've made girls cry when I tell them who I voted for all the time in L.A.

01:02:03.460 So breaking hearts, breaking hearts, that's how it goes in L.A.

01:02:07.760 Oh my gosh.

01:02:08.700 Yeah, I love it.

01:02:10.100 He was so good looking and then he turned into the devil.

01:02:13.600 Yeah, I didn't know he was Hitler reincarnated.
