00:00:00.000 Welcome to the podcast. Now, it may sound like I'm in a bad mood, and it's probably because of Stu.

00:00:04.760 Stu, it was, I mean, we started with, uh, we started with, I started with great intentions

00:00:11.900 to have fun. Uh, it was, it was Helium Thursday. Sure did. And Stu wanted no part of it. You have

00:00:18.800 to say that. No, yes, you did. You, you, you didn't even smile. You didn't laugh. None of it during

00:00:24.120 Helium Thursday. And you'll have to be a judge whether Helium Thursday should reappear again or

00:00:29.240 not. I think it was fantastic. Stu's like, oh, that's so childish. I never said anything like

00:00:34.760 that. Um, but I appreciate your, uh, very poor retelling of the story, which you also ended the

00:00:40.900 show on a poor retelling of another story. Nope. Nope. So this is kind of what you do. Um, hopefully

00:00:45.640 you're a little bit more accurate when talking about the court and, uh, from, we had a Joe Biden

00:00:50.360 clip from packing about packing the court, whatever, back in 1983, whatever. We also had, uh, the, uh,

00:00:56.920 host of Red Pill America on its podcast series. Really good. Talking about the virtual organism

00:01:02.440 that is Google and Facebook and what the power of these tech companies are going to look like

00:01:08.660 in the future. Also, I saw a great movie, uh, Brexit. Uh, I saw it on Amazon. It's with, um,

00:01:14.980 Wilhelm Cumberbunch. It's not who it's with. Whatever. Cumberbatch. Whatever. Uh, maybe if I,

00:01:21.980 maybe if I set it in, uh, maybe if I set it in helium, then it would be hilarious for sure. 0.91

00:01:26.780 It would be. Trust me that that one works just as well as, as Hickenlooper, which by the way,

00:01:31.420 we get into with Hickenlooper. Uh, you don't want to miss that. Uh, all of this, all of this,

00:01:37.320 and so much more. The movie about Brexit, you can't miss. What do you pull from it? All on today's

00:01:42.800 podcast. Hi, Stu. Hi, Glenn. How are you? Oh, well, I'm, I'm pretty good. Uh, yeah,

00:02:02.780 at least I haven't had my home stolen. You know, that's, uh, that's true. Glenn, you have,

00:02:09.160 you have home title lock. So, yeah. So I don't have to worry about that. Yeah. That's,

00:02:13.000 is that why you're laughing at people? Well, yeah, because I've, I've gone down to the, uh,

00:02:16.680 I've gone down to the, uh, uh, to the courthouse and I'm just, uh, I'm stealing everybody's homes

00:02:22.280 because it's so easy to do 40 bucks and I can do it. Yeah. You just got a fake notary stamp,

00:02:27.120 forge a couple of documents. So it's like monopoly. I've got all of the houses on my,

00:02:31.380 on my street. Really? Yeah. I don't think you should admit that. Really? Oh, uh, get your a hundred

00:02:36.620 dollar search for free. When you sign up home title lock, uh, this is a really bad thing.

00:02:40.860 Fastest growing crime, according to the FBI, uh, where they can steal your home. You don't know

00:02:45.800 about it for quite some time. And then the longer it goes on, the worse it is. People have lost their

00:02:51.360 homes because of this. You can have one person guard and the only people that do it home title

00:02:57.460 lock.com home title lock.com go there now. All right, let's take a look at the candidate list.

00:03:03.060 We may need helium. I'm not sure yet, Sarah, we may need helium for this because, uh, look at the

00:03:09.940 wonderful list of candidates that we have coming our way. And I don't think we need the helium quite

00:03:14.460 yet, but there's a, uh, we've been doing this. We have a beta and I don't mean this as it relates

00:03:19.440 to Beto, but a beta, um, version of our power rankings. If you are a fan of sports, you'll see

00:03:25.360 this all across all the leagues. They do like the SBN power rankings of the NBA and what teams are,

00:03:29.800 are, uh, you know, the best teams in the league, which ones are the worst. And so we've done this

00:03:35.860 with candidates. We've got a, uh, a formula that takes into account about 30 different categories

00:03:42.180 between polling, fundamentals, fundraising, uh, various different things. And so we have an updated

00:03:49.880 list that we've just put out again, and we're not completely final with the formula. We're still

00:03:54.140 working through that. Uh, would you like to go through this here, Glenn? Sure. Yes. I'm, I'm,

00:03:58.420 we have a five, five, there's basically kind of five tiers of candidates right now. You have the

00:04:02.860 front runners. Uh, you have those that got a shot. Yeah. You have those who, I mean, if everything

00:04:09.780 goes right, maybe. Right. Then you have the fourth category, which is like, eh, probably not. And then

00:04:16.340 you have the fifth category, which is like, I mean, come on, what are you, what are you, what are you

00:04:20.320 doing? Well, I think that's where everybody put Donald Trump last time. That is yes. That is

00:04:24.020 the exception of a handful of people. This, that everybody was like, come on. Right. And that's

00:04:29.480 why it, it, it, it adapts. It, it, it takes the moment. It looks at the polling. It looks at all

00:04:35.280 the stuff at that moment. It's a snapshot. Okay. Go ahead. So very bottom category. Um, it's a zero

00:04:40.380 to 100 scale. Uh, uh, between 17 and 20, you have Marianne Williamson and John Delaney. They are in

00:04:47.060 the very bottom category. Marianne Williamson, the, the guru. Yes. The guru. She's running for president. 0.80

00:04:51.820 And that's, it's an interesting one because there's not a crazy, uh, there's a, there's

00:04:56.960 a couple of scenarios that actually could give her rise in that she's like a Kardashian's 0.99

00:05:03.660 guru, for example, if Kim Kardashian comes out and starts tweeting about her candidacy

00:05:09.200 a hundred times, you know what she is, she, she should be the Oprah guru, the Oprah candidate, 1.00

00:05:16.000 right? Oprah loves her. Yeah. That's loves her. She is actually has a very big social following. 0.98

00:05:20.920 She's the, one of these like new age gurus that's been on all those shows. And that's, 0.98

00:05:24.720 that's not your world. Right. Cause it's certainly not mine, but if it's, if it's not your world,

00:05:28.640 you might not be aware that she actually has some reach, whether she turns into a candidate.

00:05:32.640 I think me, she would need her celebrity friends to really pitch for her. Okay. Next category, 0.98

00:05:37.100 which is, you know, probably not going to happen guys. We have Andrew Yang, uh, Tulsi Gabbard,

00:05:44.500 Pete Buttigieg, Jay Ainsley, John Hickenlooper. They're all between on our scoreboard between

00:05:50.200 23 and 33. So again, this is a zero to 100 scale. They're towards the bottom of this.

00:05:56.940 You know, I don't know if you see, do you see anyone out of there? I mean, the Andrew Yang

00:06:00.220 has made some news, but I don't think he's coming out of that. Not necessarily good news. Right.

00:06:06.000 I mean, Pete Buttigieg is, is a favorite. I would not be, I would not rule him out for a vice

00:06:10.560 presidential candidate. It would be the first openly gay vice presidential candidate on either

00:06:14.920 party. I think the Democrats would like to set that precedent. I'm so sick of this.

00:06:18.380 All they care about is, is identity. I know. I'm so sick of it. What group can we, you know,

00:06:22.960 can we take, can we use? Yeah, exactly. Can we use for our own benefit? Okay. Then, so next,

00:06:27.480 now we're up to if everything goes right, maybe, which is, uh, Kirsten Gillibrand and Julian Castro.

00:06:36.000 Now the exact opposite of everything going right is happening with Kirsten Gillibrand. I mean,

00:06:42.140 this is a zero of a candidacy so far. I mean, she has been invisible. She has had no success.

00:06:49.360 She's showing up South of Tulsi Gabbard in some of these polls. This is not a good start for her.

00:06:55.820 You never know. Maybe she could turn it around, but I think I honestly would not, if I had to pick

00:06:59.600 right now, the first candidate of any note to drop out of this race, it's her. She is, this has just

00:07:06.020 been a disastrous launch for, uh, for Gillibrand who's coming, you know, it's a New York Senator.

00:07:11.660 You'd think there'd be some disaster for a while. Don't you think? Yeah. I mean, zero. She's just

00:07:16.360 a zero. I kind of, I mean, but she's, she kind of tied herself into the news with the whole me too

00:07:21.960 thing. She was very publicly, she went after, she went after Al Franken, by the way. And one of her

00:07:26.780 big issues within the party is that, yeah, because people didn't like that. The me too standards got

00:07:31.600 applied to their guy. I think if you like that, I think the me too thing is so yesterday that it's

00:07:36.440 just, you're just, if you were big in the, in that movement, uh, in politics, I think that's just,

00:07:45.160 it's, it, it turned to scummy. I mean, it was just, it could have been good, but it became so

00:07:51.500 political. And so it was just marked in time, marked in time. Everyone knows the underlying premise

00:07:59.000 is good, right? That, that women, if they are abused should have justice. However, people who 0.98

00:08:04.800 jumped in to use it as for a political tool, don't come out looking so nice. She's a zero. 1.00

00:08:09.740 Okay. So the next one is, uh, they've got a chance three here in this category with a 48

00:08:14.620 score is Elizabeth Warren, 50, Amy Klobuchar, 54, Cory Booker. Those are the three in that category.

00:08:21.640 Okay. Out of that, uh, Cory Booker. Nope. I don't think it's happening. He's just a fake.

00:08:27.180 He's just a fake. Yes. He feels fake. He's he, he, that Spartacus moment. I, I, I would 1.00

00:08:33.480 love, love for him to be the candidate because he is so easy to mock and make fun of. He is

00:08:40.320 really, he is just, he's just a total fake. Uh, but I mean, when you're running in a field

00:08:45.680 with Focahannas, uh, I mean, fake is where it's at. Uh, Elizabeth Warren, zero chance, zero

00:08:56.700 chance. Again, I'm, I'm, I've stopped saying zero chance over the years. I remember I, the

00:09:03.520 first time I said, I will never say again, there's a zero chances when Howard Dean lost

00:09:07.360 Iowa. He was ahead by like a zillion points a week before that election in my recollection.

00:09:12.880 And then all of a sudden he lost and all of a sudden the whole thing fell apart. Yeah.

00:09:16.140 He was, he was killing it in that race for months. Yeah. And then it was, he was just gone 1.00

00:09:21.040 after one speech. I mean, remember he lost Iowa before that speech. So that was not the

00:09:25.800 cause of the campaign. Why did that fall apart? I mean, you know, Kerry just beat him. I think,

00:09:29.680 you know, Dean had a lot of the, the grassroots momentum and a lot of the far, far left. Now,

00:09:34.840 of course, Howard Dean would be an ultra conservative in this year's lineup. Oh my gosh.

00:09:39.000 An ultra conservative. Oh my gosh. Not only would he not be allowed to be the progressive

00:09:43.380 candidate, I don't think he'd be allowed in the, in the party. Yeah. I have a really, I have

00:09:47.100 something really good to share with you about, you know, the masks coming off. I have something

00:09:50.820 really good to share with you today. All right. And the final tiers are our front runners. So

00:09:55.540 in third place, as of right now, according to the, uh, Glenn Beck programs, uh, candidate power

00:10:00.460 ratings, uh, Beto O'Rourke is, or Bob Frank O'Rourke is his real name. Uh, he's at a 65 on this zero to

00:10:08.020 100 scale. Kamala Harris at 67 and first place, Bernie Sanders, 69. Now again, Joe Biden has not

00:10:15.780 announced yet. So he's not included in this. He will, I would be very surprised if he's not

00:10:20.000 leading this once he does announce, but you know, who knows how long that Joe Biden is going to be,

00:10:26.060 I mean, I have no idea how this is because they're just, they're just eating their own,

00:10:31.320 but Joe Biden is the one that could unite everybody that, that is a Democrat. And they could say, Oh,

00:10:37.260 you know what? Our party hasn't gone crazy. Right. It gives them an excuse. It's Joe Biden. He's not

00:10:44.580 crazy. Blah, blah, blah. It's who he puts on the under ticket. Uh, and I'm sorry, but Joe Biden was

00:10:51.200 the most progressive in the Senate before he became vice president. His point the other day,

00:10:57.260 when he said, I'm the most progressive person running for president, I mean, the person who

00:11:02.380 might run for president, that whole moment is true. People forget that he was a, I know the thing is

00:11:08.000 he's, he's been around a long time. He's 144 years old. So, you know, back in, you know, 1896,

00:11:15.840 his policies kind of seem conservative compared to what the, the, where the party is today. You

00:11:21.640 know, when he said, he said things like, and he was all of his old stances. We have one today,

00:11:26.440 I think. Uh, Oh, uh, yeah. And do we have this 1983 video clip here? We play this real quick.

00:11:31.380 This is a Joe Biden in 1983 on the Supreme court. President Roosevelt clearly had the right to send

00:11:38.840 to the United States Senate, the United States Congress, a proposal to pack the court. It was

00:11:43.020 totally within his right to do that. He violated no law. He was legalistically, absolutely correct,

00:11:50.020 but it was a bonehead idea. It was a terrible, terrible mistake to make. And it put in question 0.93

00:11:58.020 for an entire decade, the independence of the most significant body, including the Congress,

00:12:06.040 in my view, the most significant body in this country, the Supreme court of the United States

00:12:10.380 of America. No, first of all, no. But secondly, uh, you're not allowed to be against court packing

00:12:16.040 now. Now it's like a main plank in the democratic party. But if, can you bring that, can you bring

00:12:21.520 that, uh, video back up for a second? Cause he's changed. He's flip-flopped on positions on something

00:12:26.360 else too. If you look at the, uh, picture of the video of Joe Biden, go ahead and roll that,

00:12:30.740 please. Uh, president Roosevelt clearly had the right to send. Uh, he was also, uh, anti-hair plug

00:12:36.780 at that point. Oh yeah. Uh, if you, if you look, he, uh, clearly didn't have any hair plugs at that

00:12:43.780 point. And, uh, in 1983, I would have not have guessed. I would have guessed that was a pre-1983 job.

00:12:50.040 Yeah, it did look like it. It was like, it looks like one of those jobs where remember,

00:12:53.500 remember when they first came out and they were like, just like corn rows. They just like,

00:12:58.280 they just took a stock of corn and just planted it in your head. It was so bizarre. I would have

00:13:04.320 thought that, uh, as well, but that's a good look there on, uh, Joe. Uh, when I come back, I want to

00:13:09.040 share this. Um, uh, you know, I said at some point the masks will come off. Uh, I have a couple of,

00:13:16.400 uh, good friends that send me old books and everything else. They sent me something last night

00:13:21.520 and I want to, I want to share what they, what they sent, uh, because it shows where we are.

00:13:29.020 It's a little bit of history that was foreshadowing today with the guy that everyone says is the

00:13:38.180 architect of where we are today. The best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:13:44.960 Like listening to this podcast. If you're not a subscriber, become one now on iTunes and while

00:13:56.520 you're there, do us a favor and rate the show. This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:14:01.660 It's Helium Thursday. And, uh, Stu has already wrecked it.

00:14:13.820 I don't see why you say I wrecked anything. Well, you're a drag. You're a drag man. 1.00

00:14:20.120 Uh, okay. So you were talking about Hickenlooper. Yes. Yes. And Hickenlooper yesterday, uh, had 0.87

00:14:30.640 a town hall. I, I believe this was yesterday, but it was. The thing this happened is not important.

00:14:39.460 It was last night. It was last night. Okay. And he was with Dana Bash. CNN. And, uh, he revealed

00:14:47.640 something very important about himself. And, uh, you want to listen to that now? Yeah. You

00:14:53.920 want to see it? Yeah. I'd love that. All right. You want to see an X-rated movie? Wait,

00:14:58.220 wait, wait, wait, wait. We can't have him on Helium. Wait. You can't have Hickenlooper on

00:15:03.240 Helium. No. That's just ridiculous. It's hard to imagine a better word than Hickenlooper to

00:15:11.620 say on Helium. So I just want the audience to know that not once has Stu cracked even a

00:15:21.500 smile. He does not find this funny or entertaining in the least. It's a fair summary of where I

00:15:35.280 am. Yes. It's a fair summary. Hmm. Ah. All right. But here's John Hickenlooper on CNN last night.

00:15:45.460 You went to see an X-rated movie with your mother. You have the floor, sir.

00:15:56.840 Thank you so much for that question. Anytime. Um, I thought it was better to write a book to let

00:16:01.500 people really see who you were and, and the dumb things you did as well as the smart things. 0.72

00:16:05.520 And where is that on the spectrum? On the dumb side. Okay. I, I was the youngest of four. And as I 1.00

00:16:12.340 said, my dad died, uh, right after I turned eight. And my mother and I had a pretty tempestuous

00:16:18.000 relationship. She was just the most amazing person. And, and I went off to college and, and for the

00:16:23.160 first time she was alone in the house. And I didn't realize how powerful that was until I got home at

00:16:27.640 Thanksgiving. And I promised I called a friend in Philadelphia and these were X, I didn't know

00:16:31.720 what next movie was. We thought it was a little naughty, but we didn't think it was that bad.

00:16:35.160 Come on. Come on. I, again, you gotta understand I was 18 years old.

00:16:38.280 Oh yeah. And so I came home and my mother hated to cook. I mean, she, she was a strong. 1.00

00:16:43.560 Can we stop for just a second? Seriously.

00:16:47.600 An 18 year old. Right. Right. That didn't know what an X rated movie was. And wait till

00:16:58.360 you hear the title. That he didn't know it was an X rated movie. Come on. What's that?

00:17:05.360 Totally. All right. Go ahead.

00:17:07.560 Who got stuff done in her own right. And I got home and she had this huge dinner laid out. 0.75

00:17:12.300 And I said, I promised, you know, I promised Jed that we would go to the, the movie theater

00:17:17.540 and see this, this new movie. Uh, you want to come? And I, it's an X movie. I don't know.

00:17:24.100 I, you know, I just, and she, I was sure that she wouldn't say no. I made a mistake.

00:17:29.920 And she said, I'd love to go. Cause she didn't want to be left alone in the house again.

00:17:35.260 It was a pretty famous movie too.

00:17:36.620 So I took my mother to see Deep Throat.

00:17:40.960 Oh, my God. How bizarre is this? Okay.

00:17:44.060 The first scene is, I didn't ask the question.

00:17:48.000 Wow.

00:17:49.720 But, but I will tell you, I will tell you that my mother, my mother was, uh, I'm sure she

00:17:55.680 was mortified. And, and I said repeatedly, I think we should leave. I think we should go.

00:18:00.140 And my mother was the kind of person that rarely went to a movie. She thought almost every movie 1.00

00:18:03.860 would get on TV. Obviously not this one, but she was, she really, once she paid, she was

00:18:10.260 going to stay. And, and at the end, she knew that I was humiliated.

00:18:15.700 Yeah. Wow. Yeah. So John Hickenlooper went with his mom to Deep Throat.

00:18:25.420 But he, at 18, which is a lie, cause he was actually 20. Deep Throat didn't come out till

00:18:31.960 he was 20 years old. So he takes his mom at 20 years old to Deep Throat.

00:18:47.320 So let me just ask the listener, doesn't the world seem to make sense when we tell you this

00:18:56.180 story of a man who's running to be president of the United States? It makes so much more sense

00:19:05.140 when you say it in this voice.

00:19:08.360 Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. I know. I know. He wrecked it. He wrecked it. He wrecked it.

00:19:19.080 No, it was very, I thought you guys loved it. We could do that. You know what? You guys laughed a lot. I thought you'd love it.

00:19:22.580 From here on out, 8.30, Thursdays, Helium Thursdays. Helium Thursdays. I love it.

00:19:27.640 Helium Thursdays. I love it.

00:19:28.680 The stew. Yes.

00:19:29.880 Gone.

00:19:30.480 Perfect time for it.

00:19:31.000 Take a break.

00:19:31.920 Think about this Democrat field, though. You've got Hickenlooper who took his mom when he was 20 years old to Deep Throat.

00:19:39.020 Let me ask you this. He said it was an X movie.

00:19:43.140 Is that Triple X?

00:19:43.320 No, I've never heard anyone refer to an X-rated movie as an X movie.

00:19:49.220 No.

00:19:49.380 I never have either.

00:19:50.080 No.

00:19:50.180 I mean, he's still, I'm just being honest here. No, you're not. Nobody says X movie.

00:19:56.640 He's like trying to seem unfamiliar with the kind of...

00:19:58.920 Correct.

00:19:59.680 Correct.

00:19:59.980 Exactly. And for anybody at that time, in that moment, who's an adult, a 20-year-old human being,

00:20:07.560 everybody knew what that movie was about.

00:20:09.760 Everybody knew.

00:20:10.680 In college. It's not like...

00:20:11.360 Come on.

00:20:11.680 It's not like Jimmy Stewart where they're on the dance floor and it opens up to be the pool.

00:20:16.120 Right.

00:20:16.520 You know what I mean?

00:20:17.100 While they're doing the Charleston.

00:20:18.120 While they're doing the Charleston.

00:20:19.120 It wasn't that world. He was in college. What year was that?

00:20:22.300 72.

00:20:23.780 1972 in college.

00:20:25.840 I don't know what an X movie is.

00:20:28.440 Come on.

00:20:29.380 Stop it.

00:20:30.820 So you got that guy. You got Beto, who we found out yesterday, took poop out of his baby's diaper,

00:20:36.300 put it in a bowl, and served it to his wife, telling her it was an avocado.

00:20:40.180 And that's different from him fantasizing about running over children.

00:20:42.900 About killing children when he was 15 years old.

00:20:45.040 You got Andrew Yang, who suddenly desired or decided that circumcision is a presidential issue somehow.

00:20:53.500 And says that we should not circumcise anymore.

00:20:57.000 You got Bernie Sanders, who sat around naked at a dinner table with a bunch of Soviets in the Soviet Union on his honeymoon. 0.91

00:21:05.980 You've got... 1.00

00:21:06.980 Not to mention, he said that women fantasize about being raped over and over again. 0.99

00:21:12.820 Right. 0.99

00:21:13.100 Another weird one.

00:21:14.460 I think we should go back to the helium.

00:21:18.540 It would be more tolerable.

00:21:20.460 It would be.

00:21:21.060 Right?

00:21:21.440 Much more tolerable.

00:21:23.100 Oh, man.

00:21:24.060 Thank you so much, Pat.

00:21:25.560 I appreciate it.

00:21:26.220 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:21:41.820 We have Patrick Karelchi.

00:21:43.840 He is the host of Red Pilled America.

00:21:46.980 But I'd like him to spend just less than a minute telling us who he is.

00:21:51.640 Because he was nominated for a Pulitzer by Andrew Breitbart for a series that he did that I remember covering on Fox that was truly terrifying during the Obama administration.

00:22:06.340 Welcome to the program, Patrick.

00:22:08.400 Thanks for having me, Glenn.

00:22:09.400 You bet.

00:22:10.200 Tell people, remind them of what you exposed during the Obama administration on that particular topic.

00:22:16.120 Yeah, back in 2009, I was invited to a White House conference call, and the meeting looked kind of weird.

00:22:24.160 It looked like they were going to be trying to do some kind of a switcheroo with the big National Endowment for the Arts and potentially use it to put out propaganda.

00:22:34.760 So I went to the meeting, and it was a conference call meeting, a bunch of people on it, 100 people or so.

00:22:40.140 Media was on it.

00:22:41.120 Artists were on it.

00:22:42.460 And I recorded the phone call.

00:22:44.300 It was with my iPhone, and it was before we all started using these iPhones in that way.

00:22:51.300 And I remember you asking me about that back then.

00:22:54.060 So I recorded the call and basically caught them.

00:22:57.960 What many people were saying, it was a violation of the Hatch Act, which is basically you can't use federal funds to push policy.

00:23:06.160 And so I did a story on it, published it with Breitbart News.

00:23:11.300 You helped me put it out there nationally on your show at the time.

00:23:16.720 And somebody ended up – they initially denied it and said that nothing was going wrong and kind of started attacking me behind the scenes.

00:23:23.540 And then eventually somebody resigned from the White House.

00:23:27.260 So it ended up being kind of my first big story, my first big foray into storytelling.

00:23:32.240 It was a multiple-part series.

00:23:33.580 And now here I am.

00:23:35.420 Now here you are.

00:23:36.140 And you don't have a – you never went to school for this.

00:23:40.440 You're an actual and applied physicist.

00:23:42.600 But now you're doing something that I think is really important.

00:23:46.880 And you've got a podcast called Red Pilled America, and you're on the third part now, the virtual organism.

00:23:55.420 Explain what this is.

00:23:56.520 We did a multiple-dive – a series deep dive into Silicon Valley.

00:24:03.600 And, you know, I think – you speak a lot about AI and the problems with AI and kind of the – what it's going to be doing to us in society.

00:24:14.840 And we take a real deep dive into Silicon Valley, and we kind of touch on this topic that basically some of our biggest fears are kind of already here.

00:24:25.100 I mean you have this huge collection of human beings and data and computing.

00:24:31.200 And we look at Silicon Valley and some of these organizations as virtual organisms because they are – they have become so powerful.

00:24:40.060 They control so much of our lives.

00:24:42.540 We speak a lot about Hollywood and how basically – and, you know, we criticize Hollywood and the way that they come at us.

00:24:48.940 Hollywood is a one-way street.

00:24:50.960 They spew their ideas and their messages at us, but it's only one way.

00:24:56.300 With Silicon Valley, it's a two-way street in that they follow us everywhere that we go.

00:25:01.960 They know everything that we do.

00:25:03.720 They know all of our friends.

00:25:05.460 And guess what?

00:25:06.180 They have a political ideology as well, and if you don't follow that political ideology, they hurt you.

00:25:14.320 So we follow – we basically look at the story of YouTube, the origin story of YouTube, to kind of get an understanding of these big organizations and where they came from, how they got so big.

00:25:26.560 And that's what we do in part one.

00:25:29.220 We basically look at the Vimeo, which really was the very first video hosting site.

00:25:34.300 Right.

00:25:34.400 And we look at them and see how basically YouTube stole the idea from them and how they basically created this huge – it was one of the hugest value transfers in modern history by using copyright and basically disregarding copyright.

00:25:53.080 And they basically took Hollywood's value away from them and benefited from that.

00:26:00.180 And they were able to use certain laws that they passed about a decade or so earlier.

00:26:05.640 So we really – we go into the Silicon Valley thing.

00:26:09.120 And the main point that I'm trying to get through with this series – and once again, it's Red Pilled America.

00:26:15.300 Red Pilled America.

00:26:16.320 It's on the iHeartRadio app.

00:26:17.680 The main point I'm trying to get across is we need to start looking at these companies differently because they've created digital town halls that we are having a problem having the ability to speak within.

00:26:31.840 And conservatives in the right, we like to look at these things as private property and, oh, okay, we don't – we shouldn't be touching these things.

00:26:40.560 But there's a completely different thing going on here.

00:26:42.960 It's brand new, and if they've created the digital streets, the digital sidewalks, the digital town halls that we are going to be talking on, we have to be able to speak at these places.

00:26:56.860 And there's been Supreme Court rulings on this, Marsh v. Alabama, where private property in these company towns back in the day, it's been ruled that even if it's private property, if they own the town hall, we still have the ability to speak at these locations.

00:27:17.800 So we delve into all of these topics in this three-part series.

00:27:21.840 We're talking to Patrick Karelchi.

00:27:23.220 He is from redpilledamerica.com.

00:27:25.860 You can find his podcast, Red Pilled America, on the iHeartRadio app, and it is well worth your time.

00:27:34.260 He is looking at things and looking from the angle of, you know, red state America, but not a sellout to it, just asking the questions that you would ask.

00:27:48.960 Patrick, I am – have you read Surveillance Capitalism yet, the book?

00:27:54.560 No, no, I haven't.

00:27:55.760 Okay, so I disagree with a lot of stuff in it, but it is a very good look at what is coming and what they truly are working on.

00:28:07.120 And the most chilling understanding – I mean, as I read this book, I'm looking at this technology and what's coming out of Silicon Valley and all the algorithms and their search for the ultimate AI much differently now.

00:28:28.100 I mean, I've understood it enough to be frightened by it and excited by it, but I'm understanding it in a new way in this way, Patrick.

00:28:38.780 And what they're looking for is 100% certainty.

00:28:44.760 So they're looking at our patterns and, for instance, Facebook can tell you you're on your way – you're going to cheat or you're going to get a divorce.

00:28:53.620 And they can just tell – they know who's doing it or going to do it because the pattern is there and they have so much data.

00:29:02.200 And they're looking for more and more data to be able to predict with absolute certainty.

00:29:07.180 Once they can predict with absolute certainty, they can then shape us any way they need to shape us to nudge us.

00:29:16.380 I mean, it is the ultimate Cass Sunstein.

00:29:19.140 We don't need advertisers and people to nudge us.

00:29:22.860 The algorithms will nudge us.

00:29:24.940 And that kind of power in anybody's hands, I don't care if it's government or the private industry, is very dangerous for any republic, any free people.

00:29:38.900 You know, we spoke to – when we spoke to the creator of Vimeo, he's a programmer, and he had a very poignant comment that I think kind of touches on what you just said there.

00:29:49.260 He said that the philosophy of the creator gets embedded in the creation, that their morality, their values, their crazy ideas, they all become part of the fabric of the algorithms that they create.

00:30:04.260 So when you have this enormous – these enormously powerful companies in Silicon Valley that are admittedly hard left, their values are embedded into this code.

00:30:17.940 So like using the example that you just said about adultery or cheating, a lot of these algorithms are maximized for clicks.

00:30:27.120 They want to – they want interaction.

00:30:29.540 And so if they see that kind of behavior coming, they can actually encourage it because they understand what kinds of things is going to make this person in this state of mind click.

00:30:41.800 And, you know, it becomes this very – you know, how do we solve this problem?

00:30:48.080 And I think that's the big discussion that we need to be having right now.

00:30:52.140 We all understand that there's a major issue.

00:30:55.220 It's really now what do we do about this?

00:30:58.360 What policies should be enacted?

00:31:00.480 And I am in the same camp as you in that I fear that the government will try to grab the steering wheel and move it in their direction and try to take as much advantage of this as they possibly can.

00:31:14.120 But I also fear that our representatives aren't speaking about this as much.

00:31:19.260 We only have – really, Ted Cruz, when Mark Zuckerberg was on the – kind of being interrogated by the committee.

00:31:26.280 Ted Cruz is really the only guy that was really asking the kinds of questions that we need to be asking right here.

00:31:32.820 And that really makes me wonder why is it that Ted Cruz was the only guy that was really kind of hitting him on some of these questions.

00:31:40.680 And I really – we need to be having a major, major discussion and put aside our rigid ideologies about how we should be dealing with these private companies because they are – this is a different thing that we have going on.

00:31:54.440 They know more about us than any government agency has ever known about any U.S. citizen.

00:32:01.660 Oh, if Hitler would have had half of this technology, there would not be a Jew left on Earth. 1.00

00:32:10.040 So true. So true.

00:32:11.620 And so we really – I want – I would really love if people would take the time, check out Red Pilled America.

00:32:20.220 It's on the iHeartRadio app.

00:32:22.340 Take the time to really delve into these issues and understand that there is something different going on here, that these people have – they're creating these digital nation states.

00:32:34.660 It is our projection, our real-life projection of ourself is now being projected online.

00:32:42.980 Facebook, for example, they have become the identity of our online identity.

00:32:51.200 They actually authenticate our online identity.

00:32:54.980 When they take you off of Facebook, you lose the ability to easily log in to thousands of websites from there.

00:33:02.760 And what does that do to human beings when that happens?

00:33:06.780 How are they ostracized when that happens?

00:33:10.780 These are the kinds of things that we need to be talking about.

00:33:13.880 I've heard a lot of people speak about, okay, we need a digital bill of rights.

00:33:17.300 I think we already have a bill of rights, and we just need to basically apply it online.

00:33:22.060 Real quick, Patrick, and then I'll cut you loose. 1.00

00:33:27.180 Should we be breaking them up?

00:33:30.060 You know, it's something that a lot of people are talking about.

00:33:33.520 I'm not a policy expert.

00:33:36.420 I've heard multiple different approaches to this.

00:33:39.840 Breaking up is one of them.

00:33:40.940 I've heard of people talking about transparency in the code, that if we have a transparency in what they're doing, that could help solve the problem.

00:33:52.940 Breaking up is definitely, I think, should be on the table because they keep gobbling up their competition. 0.98

00:33:59.740 Facebook gobbles up Instagram.

00:34:01.580 Anytime they gobble up WhatsApp, anytime another one of these social media things start to rise up, Google gobbles up YouTube.

00:34:10.860 There's a reason why they're doing it.

00:34:12.300 They understand the network effects of having these massive, massive amounts of users and how they could benefit from that.

00:34:19.440 So I do think that it should be on the table, but I think there's also other things that we should be looking at as well.

00:34:25.500 Patrick, thank you so much.

00:34:26.440 It is Red Pilled America. 0.80

00:34:28.020 You can find it at redpilledamerica.com, the podcast.

00:34:31.380 Really well worth your time.

00:34:33.560 This is the third in the series, is it not?

00:34:36.260 Yes.

00:34:36.720 Yes, it is.

00:34:37.280 And they're all worth listening to, and you'll find it on the iHeartRadio app.

00:34:43.040 Patrick, thank you so much.

00:34:48.740 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:34:51.500 Matt Kibbe is joining us.

00:35:04.140 Matt does a podcast on the Blaze Network and Blaze Media, and you need to watch it.

00:35:12.800 And he's doing something different.

00:35:14.140 He is really targeting those libertarians and especially the youth that are not into the GOP.

00:35:22.960 You know, they're not necessarily listening to, you know, Mark Levin or Glenn Beck.

00:35:26.900 They're coming at it from a different place.

00:35:29.640 And Matt has put together a great coalition, actually globally, of people who are thinking about freedom in the way a millennial does.

00:35:39.040 So it's well worth your time to check out Matt Kibbe's podcast.

00:35:43.800 Matt, we saw last night New Zealand just banned everything, went farther than anybody has ever talked about in New Zealand, and they're celebrating today.

00:35:56.180 Did they not just make this crazy shooter the king of New Zealand?

00:36:00.480 He now owns their fears, right? 0.97

00:36:03.800 Right.

00:36:04.080 And they're seizing guns that were legally purchased and owned by citizens of New Zealand, and they just did it in a panic overnight.

00:36:14.800 And you hope something like that could never happen in America.

00:36:17.960 And you get into all of these definitions.

00:36:20.220 You know, they say they're targeting military-style assault weapons, which is not a thing.

00:36:25.380 It's not.

00:36:25.920 It's not a thing, and so there'll be an arbitrary line where they decide, is that gun still legal, is that gun not?

00:36:32.860 They don't know.

00:36:34.120 All they know is that people have to turn in their guns.

00:36:36.480 You know what's amazing to me is Hannah, my second oldest daughter, I took her shooting.

00:36:43.380 Now, she's never gone shooting, but we had a family scare that kind of put the fear of Jesus in all of us.

00:36:49.080 So we went out to the shooting range, and she finally said, I'll carry a gun, Dad, and I'll learn how to shoot.

00:36:54.740 She came down.

00:36:55.720 Now, she's been with us forever, but she's always avoided guns.

00:37:00.680 She bought into the fear of them.

00:37:04.660 And so we're at the shooting range, and she says, so, Dad, what's the difference between that rifle and that one?

00:37:12.540 And I said, what do you mean by that one?

00:37:14.600 She said, that one, I mean, that looks scary.

00:37:17.520 And I said, because it's painted black.

00:37:19.360 They're the same.

00:37:20.360 Yeah.

00:37:20.780 They're the same.

00:37:21.640 Yeah, there is a cultural divide, and I think it's grown starker.

00:37:26.060 I mean, we talk about red versus blue, but there is a different culture of people who grew up with guns, are taught how to use guns, are comfortable around guns, and protect their families with guns,

00:37:36.960 versus people primarily that live in cities are just afraid of them.

00:37:40.760 They've never touched one.

00:37:41.860 They've never seen one.

00:37:42.820 They don't know what it is.

00:37:43.940 And so when political demagogues show up and say, this is how we're going to empower terrorists to kill all of us, as Chuck Schumer just said about 3D-printed guns, and you don't know any better, that's a problem.

00:37:57.800 So part of what I learned the hard way, I had a very similar experience when I worked on Capitol Hill.

00:38:03.680 I worked for a member of Congress.

00:38:05.360 He was inclined to be a liberty guy, but he'd never been around guns.

00:38:09.140 And we were debating assault weapons bans, and I used all the Second Amendment arguments.

00:38:14.100 I used the philosophical arguments, the libertarian arguments about the right to defend yourself, deaf ears.

00:38:19.960 He didn't understand what I was saying, so I said, okay, let's go shoot some of these things.

00:38:24.000 And we asked the guy at the FBI range, like, so we're going to ban these ones, and we're not going to ban these ones, and he said the same thing.

00:38:31.980 That one's painted black, and it looks really scary, but it's exactly like that one with the wood stock.

00:38:38.920 And after that, he's like, okay, I get it.

00:38:41.840 So you've got to help people actually sort of see what it is, understand what it is, and put your hands on it.

00:38:49.000 It's an empirical thing.

00:38:50.080 It's also what we've talked about a lot.

00:38:54.120 We make, you were talking to him logically.

00:38:57.740 Right.

00:38:58.320 And conservatives try to, you know, use facts and figures and everything else and speak logic, where the left generally tells a story and speaks from emotion.

00:39:09.460 Right.

00:39:09.660 And so they're telling you this good story of this scary black gun and all the scary things that it can do.

00:39:16.880 And emotionally, that imprints on people, and it imprints it so hard that they are, it exaggerates the fear that you should have.

00:39:27.320 I spent some time talking to my daughter about separating your fear.

00:39:31.380 There is the fear of, that's a black scary gun, and then there's the fear of, this is a deadly weapon, and this is just as deadly as this one.

00:39:41.480 And you should have a healthy amount of fear.

00:39:44.660 If you lose your fear of what this thing can do, you should not have a gun.

00:39:50.080 Yeah.

00:39:50.620 You know, you should always have a healthy amount of fear of, this is a deadly weapon.

00:39:54.940 But it's the irrational fear, and we don't ever approach that.

00:40:00.060 But getting people into the range and having them fire, they experience something else.

00:40:05.040 Fun.

00:40:05.800 Yeah.

00:40:06.360 Yeah.

00:40:06.720 So, you know, we set out this video that you mentioned about 3D guns.

00:40:10.840 It's a young guy named Matt LaRousse.

00:40:13.060 He's one of the young voices.

00:40:15.180 I think you've had some of those guys on.

00:40:16.960 Young libertarians that are very into explaining things on camera.

00:40:22.140 And he's an interesting guy because he's actually a legal scholar at the Cato Institute.

00:40:27.080 But before that, he was a machinist.

00:40:29.200 And he's a gun enthusiast, and he's reconstructing all of these old, like, World War I rifles that don't exist anymore.

00:40:37.580 And he's kind of a hobbyist about it.

00:40:39.220 So he understands the law.

00:40:40.700 He understands the technology of 3D printing.

00:40:43.200 And we just had him sort of show people, this is what this actually is.

00:40:47.860 So when some senator says something ridiculous about ghost guns and how we're going to be empowering terrorists by allowing 3D printers,

00:40:57.800 3D printers where you can, you know, you can actually empower kids that need prosthetic limbs with 3D printers.

00:41:04.900 These are good things.

00:41:05.720 This is technology.

00:41:06.600 And everybody wants to control it in Washington.

00:41:10.560 And you could make the philosophical arguments.

00:41:12.780 This violates the First Amendment.

00:41:14.040 This violates the Second Amendment.

00:41:15.740 Or you could just show people the ridiculousness of the idea that you could build a ghost gun.

00:41:22.700 It's not a thing.

00:41:24.320 It's a mythology.

00:41:24.740 Why is it not a thing?

00:41:26.100 Because by ghost, they're talking about something.

00:41:29.600 In your mind, you're thinking that's a totally plastic assault rifle, right?

00:41:34.560 Yeah, that won't work.

00:41:35.320 And it doesn't work.

00:41:36.160 It explodes.

00:41:37.460 Right.

00:41:37.760 And the person that shoots it is the one that dies.

00:41:41.080 And so everybody has this vision of people sneaking these guns on airplanes or whatever.

00:41:47.360 And it's just not a thing.

00:41:49.700 I'm fascinated to see this reaction, too, on the emotion.

00:41:53.660 Because the emotion can be helpful to convey a message.

00:41:56.820 You guys have talked about that a lot.

00:41:58.000 Yeah.

00:41:58.160 But you see in New Zealand where emotion makes a lot of bad decisions.

00:42:02.540 And it forces you into bad decisions.

00:42:04.760 With this ban, I mean, if you think about this, because it's being praised by the media and the left and people all over the world as,

00:42:11.560 look, they know how to do it right.

00:42:13.360 Right.

00:42:13.640 They had this incident and they took action, period.

00:42:15.700 They took action based on that incident.

00:42:18.140 I mean, you could make the same argument that if there is a terrorist attack by a Muslim,

00:42:24.980 that's the great reason to go round up Muslims all across the country. 1.00

00:42:29.500 Exactly right.

00:42:29.840 Because we don't know.

00:42:30.820 Yes, we're going to be taking a lot of law-abiding Muslims off the streets, too. 1.00

00:42:34.240 Yes, I understand that.

00:42:35.300 But look, this just happened and we have to act.

00:42:37.800 That's a terrible approach.

00:42:39.360 This should be recognized.

00:42:40.120 Well, that's where the Patriot Act came from.

00:42:41.820 Yes.

00:42:42.260 We acted out of emotion instead of reason.

00:42:44.300 Yes.

00:42:44.580 And that's where the Constitution should kick in and say, uh-uh, you can't do that.

00:42:50.460 It was meant to slow you down or to stop you from doing things because you had an irrational amount

00:42:58.360 or even a rational amount of fear that would make you sell your liberty or someone else's liberty because of your fear.

00:43:06.000 You know, Terry and I reacted out of emotion a couple years ago and finally learned how to shoot pistols,

00:43:13.580 and we bought pistols in the District of Columbia, which is not an easy thing to do.

00:43:19.520 But it wasn't.

00:43:20.360 I mean, I've always understood the importance of our right to bear arms, but I'm not a gun guy.

00:43:26.340 Yeah.

00:43:26.540 But I watched, you know, the emotional trigger for me was watching the shooting in Paris that the Eagles of Death Metal

00:43:34.040 and their audience was gunned down by terrorists.

00:43:36.880 And I go to a lot of concerts and I'm like, you know what?

00:43:39.520 I live right by the Capitol.

00:43:41.200 I better do something.

00:43:42.140 I better be prepared to defend my family if I have to.

00:43:47.540 And there's almost that safety security sense.

00:43:51.420 The same reason that people react against guns.

00:43:54.540 We react saying, you know what?

00:43:57.820 The police aren't going to help me.

00:44:00.040 The government's not going to help me.

00:44:01.780 They can't possibly keep us all safe.

00:44:04.080 I got to do it myself.

00:44:04.920 And it's amazing because you learn that time and time again.

00:44:09.720 And yet the media never covers it when you have a disaster like Katrina, where help cannot come.

00:44:19.100 And it's not there.

00:44:20.260 You have 72 hours before it completely breaks down.

00:44:23.680 And what did the government do?

00:44:26.080 Went in and took guns.

00:44:27.660 And you say the media doesn't cover it, but that's why Matt Kibbe has a podcast.

00:44:30.220 That's why it exists with fantastic guests like Glenn Beck, right?

00:44:34.660 Thomas Massey's been on already.

00:44:36.620 That is an amazing plug.

00:44:38.880 And I fully endorse everything that you just said.

00:44:43.920 Where do people go to get it?

00:44:44.960 They can get it anywhere podcast.

00:44:46.060 You can get it anywhere.

00:44:46.720 Blaze TV, YouTube, anywhere you download a podcast.

00:44:50.580 And we'll talk about guns.

00:44:52.420 And we'll talk about it from a perspective about safety.

00:44:56.080 And we're going to talk about all sorts of cool stuff.

00:44:58.240 Matt Kibbe, grab the Matt Kibbe podcast.

00:45:01.620 Matt, thank you for stopping by.

00:45:05.420 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:45:18.040 Well, there is something that has happened in Washington state.

00:45:22.420 Uh, that I believe is unconstitutional along with others.

00:45:25.880 Uh, it was voted on in November, uh, of last year.

00:45:30.760 And it was initiative 1639.

00:45:33.300 And it was a vote.

00:45:34.460 It was approved by voters in Washington state.

00:45:37.540 And the deal is, is that you have to have more restrictive, uh, gun laws.

00:45:42.980 Uh, you can't buy a gun if you're, or a rifle with, if you're 21, uh, unless you're 21,

00:45:50.560 anybody under the age of 21 cannot purchase.

00:45:53.180 You have to have an enhanced background check, which goes into medical records now, which

00:45:58.020 is also a violation.

00:45:59.180 Uh, and you have to always have that gun locked up.

00:46:03.340 Uh, and you know, as I was taught growing up, you know, in Washington state by my uncle

00:46:09.440 in Puyallup and my grandfather who had guns loaded, an unloaded gun does nothing to protect

00:46:15.500 you.

00:46:15.760 Uh, the, the problem is the sheriffs are starting to say, we're not going to enforce

00:46:21.280 this.

00:46:22.420 And the sheriffs are now in trouble with the state.

00:46:24.900 And we have Bob Songer.

00:46:26.320 He is a, uh, uh, sheriff of, uh, Klickitat County in, uh, Washington state.

00:46:33.060 Bob, welcome to the program.

00:46:35.120 Thank you, uh, Glenn.

00:46:36.540 And you know, you're spot on with your opening remarks here.

00:46:39.860 Um, Bob, you are, you're one of the sheriffs and there's a lot of you around Washington

00:46:45.320 state that are saying, I'm not going to enforce this.

00:46:48.700 What does that mean?

00:46:50.220 Well, first of all, let me say that, uh, I'm a constitutional sheriff.

00:46:54.680 The rule of law is the constitution, U S and Washington state constitution.

00:46:59.500 So based on that, I believe it violates the citizens that I serve, their, uh, their second

00:47:07.500 amendment, fourth amendment, and probably several other amendments of the constitution. 0.91

00:47:12.500 And, uh, it's a ridiculous thing.

00:47:15.180 And, and be honest with you, Glenn, Bob Ferguson, our attorney general and, uh, governor 0.78

00:47:22.300 Inslee, uh, this is a political move on their part.

00:47:25.960 Uh, Ferguson wants to be governor.

00:47:28.080 And of course, um, our governor has already announced he wants to be president, which would

00:47:33.040 be a disaster, but in any event, in any event, they're violating, uh, good, honest citizens

00:47:40.800 rights.

00:47:41.360 And I've been in this business 48 years in law enforcement and this 1639 or any of these

00:47:47.720 other anti gun laws will do nothing to make a safer community.

00:47:53.120 Nothing. 0.97

00:47:53.600 That's why crooks are crooks.

00:47:56.720 They don't pay any attention to the laws.

00:47:58.960 Uh, and so what they're doing is making it more restrictive and criminalizing honest citizens

00:48:05.320 for possessing certain firearms. 0.94

00:48:07.000 And it's ridiculous.

00:48:08.320 And also criminalizing those who just served in the military, uh, and were given a rifle by 0.81

00:48:14.120 the military and they were, they were okay for the use of a gun, but not when they come

00:48:20.200 home, they can't have a gun. 0.94

00:48:21.720 Isn't that ridiculous? 0.88

00:48:23.780 We put our young people on battlefields over overseas and they come back, some of them 0.97

00:48:29.520 missing limbs, some of them shot up.

00:48:31.600 And the lucky ones that come back that haven't been injured, they go down to buy a semi-automatic

00:48:37.320 rifle, which by the way, they're calling all semi-automatics assault weapons, which is 0.91

00:48:42.340 just ridiculous. 0.60

00:48:43.120 It's modern sporting rifle. 0.96

00:48:44.480 Exactly.

00:48:45.480 So they go down to buy a gun for whatever reason, because they have a constitutional right

00:48:50.680 to that firearm.

00:48:52.060 And, um, they're told, no, you can't have it regardless whether you served our country

00:48:56.500 or not.

00:48:56.960 And, and yet the same people who have this, uh, you know, uh, 21 year, uh, age limit on

00:49:02.980 buying guns want to give you the power of the vote at 16, but that's a different story.

00:49:07.960 So, um, the, your attorney general in the state says that you guys, by not enacting, uh, this

00:49:14.600 and, and by not enforcing this, you are in violation and the sheriffs work for the governor

00:49:21.340 and I'm sorry, Glenn, I'm sorry.

00:49:27.800 So you, you disagree with the sheriff's work for the governor, the governor or the attorney

00:49:33.400 general is not my boss.

00:49:35.320 The only boss I have under the constitution is the people that elected me to office in

00:49:40.660 our County.

00:49:41.400 That's it.

00:49:42.560 Commissioner's not my boss.

00:49:44.360 Um, so I mean, they would probably love to have that position where they could, uh,

00:49:48.960 reign me in, but no, that's not going to happen.

00:49:51.940 And I think, uh, uh, Ferguson and them, uh, they're pushing this for political reasons.

00:49:57.260 And I might add, the only reason this passed in the state is because they blew a bunch of

00:50:02.060 smoke at the far left in King County, Snohomish, Tacoma, the heavy populated areas of the state.

00:50:09.180 And, uh, and was able to squeak it by, uh, they wanted, of all the voters, I think there

00:50:14.840 was like a turnout of 30% of the voters in the state of that.

00:50:18.960 Of course, they, uh, I think they got close to a 60% vote on it, but, uh, most counties

00:50:26.040 on the East side of the state voted it down.

00:50:30.000 The majority of them.

00:50:31.160 Uh, this is another reason, uh, in a microcosm, uh, of why we have the electoral college for

00:50:38.160 the presidency.

00:50:40.140 Western Washington is very different than Eastern Washington.

00:50:44.240 Most people think, Oh, it rains all the time in Washington, not on the East side of the

00:50:47.640 mountains.

00:50:47.980 It's, it's, it's a desert in parts of Washington.

00:50:51.060 Uh, it is, it's remarkably different, uh, state and different mentalities.

00:50:57.100 Um, so, uh, what are you as a sheriff and the other sheriffs that are with you?

00:51:04.800 What are you going to do?

00:51:06.000 Because they said they are coming after you.

00:51:10.080 Well, then they need to do that.

00:51:12.360 I will not back down from Ferguson or Inslee or governor.

00:51:16.720 They are not my boss.

00:51:18.260 I serve the citizens of my County and I believe I am serving their, their constitutional rights

00:51:24.860 to prevent that from being violated.

00:51:26.600 So if they want to come into our County, then they need to do that. 0.99

00:51:30.300 Uh, and, and, and I think the governor said, well, we'll have the state patrol.

00:51:33.920 Uh, no, they don't want to go down that route.

00:51:36.640 And, uh, uh, let me say one thing, I will not take arms against fellow law enforcement

00:51:43.780 officers.

00:51:44.400 Will not, but I also will not allow the state to come in here and start pushing us around

00:51:50.900 in this County.

00:51:51.860 It's not going to happen.

00:51:53.680 Um, the other thing, uh, if I could, uh, Glenn, here's what bothers me is the health records

00:52:00.600 that when you, they do that enhanced background check, you sign a waiver, basically giving up

00:52:07.900 your health records, uh, which I believe is coercion in order for you to get the gun.

00:52:13.260 And you have to sign this in order for you to get the gun that you're entitled to God given

00:52:18.480 right under the second amendment, you have to sign this waiver and I don't have any problem

00:52:24.600 at all.

00:52:25.280 And I would even support if somebody has been committed to a mental institution or under

00:52:31.740 psychiatric care for violent type behavior, then yes, only that, only that would be released

00:52:38.980 so that they could be checked in a background, but they don't have it.

00:52:43.260 You don't have any reason to have your complete health records to know what, what's going on

00:52:48.480 there.

00:52:49.480 Unfortunately, under that 1639, Glenn, they don't even show who makes that decision.

00:52:56.580 I don't know if it's some clerk at DOL department of licensing makes that decision or whether

00:53:02.020 it's a board of psychiatrists, you know, it, it's just vague.

00:53:05.380 And I think that violates your fourth amendment, right?

00:53:08.320 When they coerce you into signing that form in order to get a gun, mandatory training, the

00:53:13.560 same thing.

00:53:14.200 I'm a big one for training.

00:53:15.460 I'm a big one for safety, but it should not be government mandating.

00:53:19.760 You have to have that before you can have your rights, uh, having a gun. 0.92

00:53:23.640 And it's just ridiculous.

00:53:26.940 One of the things I'd like to read real quick is fairly short.

00:53:30.860 The NIF under the 1639, the initiative would make government employees or any contractor

00:53:39.620 or private agency working for the government immune from lawsuits for failing to recognize

00:53:47.400 the rights of a person to legally buy or possess a firearm, including unlawful denial of a

00:53:57.020 concealed weapons permit under this initiative, under the initiative, citizens could not sue

00:54:02.900 if their civil rights are violated.

00:54:05.400 Oh my gosh.

00:54:08.220 Unreal.

00:54:09.300 Unreal.

00:54:10.040 Oh my gosh.

00:54:11.740 Uh, Bob stay strong.

00:54:13.640 Let us know how we can, uh, help the sheriffs up in Washington state.

00:54:17.400 We, uh, appreciate you standing for the constitution, sir.

00:54:21.140 Thank you, Glenn.

00:54:22.040 I appreciate your support.

00:54:23.400 You bet.

00:54:23.860 Bye-bye.

00:54:24.240 You'd feel really confident, uh, that someone like that was actually guarding the constitution

00:54:28.320 if you lived in that County.

00:54:29.480 I will tell you, this is what we talked about.

00:54:31.320 Remember how many years ago did we say you've got to support your local sheriffs, get to know

00:54:35.580 your local sheriff because constitutionally they don't report to anybody.

00:54:41.140 They don't, they report directly to the voter and they are your last line of

00:54:47.380 defense for the, um, uh, for the constitution.

00:54:51.440 So the most important vote you can cast in your lifetime, uh, when things start to get

00:54:58.600 scary is your sheriff because he's the last line of defense for the constitution.

00:55:04.640 And think about it simultaneously.

00:55:06.420 You have a bill that includes a piece that will not let you sue if they violate your second

00:55:14.240 amendment rights or civil rights or civil rights at the same time, they're now saying you can

00:55:20.680 sue gun manufacturers.

00:55:22.700 If someone uses a gun in a crime, right?

00:55:26.920 And they can sue you and you will be held responsible.

00:55:30.860 If somebody steals your gun and uses it in a crime, you are held responsible for that crime

00:55:37.980 as well.

00:55:39.200 That's in this, this new law in real.

00:55:42.100 Yeah.

00:55:42.260 I mean, you want to talk about oppressive, that is the beginnings of a totalitarian state.

00:55:48.320 The blaze radio network on demand.
