00:06:14.140 different uh things that have happened all the huge guests that you've had all the it's amazing i

00:06:19.380 think if you as such an underachiever and in reality you've overachieved well past your time well there

00:07:22.400 all be over and we'll half of us will be dead so that's happy yeah well i thought so i thought about

00:07:27.220 as optimistic as he's been off the air so uh so pat what what are your what are your thoughts on

00:07:32.120 you know here we are just a oh my gosh we are five days away from the fundamental transformation

00:07:39.020 of the united states of america that's today yep five days away scary it's scary i'm trying to

00:07:48.640 inject a little hope though uh into this madness every day uh just so we can survive it just so we

00:07:55.500 can be sane and there's actually some things you know that lead you to believe that maybe there's

00:08:00.140 hope okay okay uh let me give you a few headlines yes yes yes from 2016 oh boy u.s news and world

00:08:08.480 report seven reasons why hillary clinton's win over donald trump is a done deal oh okay uh didn't work 1.00

00:08:16.940 out very well for him uh also this survey finds hillary clinton has quote more than a 99 percent

00:08:25.060 chance unquote of winning election over donald trump 99 percent well they're saying 96 percent now

00:08:32.360 uh so she lost after a 99 percent chance they were predicting uh she would have 312 electoral votes 1.00

00:08:39.380 uh she came up with 232 uh then there was this from reuters clinton has a 90 percent chance of winning 0.99

00:08:48.080 uh according to a reuters ipsos poll and then another chance of winning graph hillary clinton this 0.90

00:08:54.680 was the i think this was real clear politics overall uh average of all the polls together hillary clinton

00:09:00.800 had a 71.4 percent chance to 28.6 for donald trump did you read what hillary clinton said this week

00:09:06.580 i was born to be the president she believes it's her birthright right she does i was born to be the

00:09:14.540 president and that's what has made this so upsetting to me since when when excuse me

00:09:20.880 uh are we doing royalty now in the united states of america i was born to be the greatest television

00:09:27.780 star of all time and it was taken from me oh my gosh what kind of out of control egomaniac is that

00:09:36.040 one that isn't the president that's so kind okay i i like that we'll go there um uh did you see

00:09:45.480 one last thing i want to talk to you about did you see the tucker video last night yeah i saw i saw

00:09:52.760 it there you're talking about the one where he they lost the yeah can we play this real quick this is

00:09:56.760 the uh tucker uh the hunter documents have vanished this is from tucker carlson last night there's always

00:10:03.240 a lot going on uh that we don't have time to get to on the air but there's something specific going

00:10:07.960 on behind the scenes right now that we did feel we should tell you about so on monday of this week

00:10:11.960 we received a from a source a collection of confidential documents related to the biden

00:10:16.600 family we believe those documents are authentic they're real and they're damning at the time we

00:10:21.480 received them are my executive producer justin wells and i were in los angeles preparing to interview

00:10:26.120 tony bobulinski about the biden's business dealings in china ukraine and other countries

00:10:30.600 so we texted a producer in new york and we asked him to send those documents to us in la and he did

00:10:35.400 that so monday afternoon of this week he shipped those documents overnight to california with a

00:10:40.680 large national carrier a brand name company that we've used you've used countless times with never

00:10:46.040 a single problem but the biden documents never arrived in los angeles tuesday morning we received

00:10:52.520 word from the shipping company that our package had been opened and the contents were missing

00:10:57.080 the documents had disappeared now to its credit the company took this very seriously and immediately

00:11:02.360 began a search they traced the envelope from the moment our producers dropped it off in manhattan

00:11:08.040 on monday all the way to 3 44 a.m yesterday morning that's when an employee at a sorting facility in

00:11:14.920 another state noticed that our package was open and empty apparently it had been open so the company's

00:11:21.880 security team interviewed every one of its employees who touched the envelope we sent they searched the

00:11:27.800 plane and the trucks that carried it they went through the office in new york where our producer

00:11:32.120 dropped that package off they combed the entire cavernous sorting facility they used pictures of what we

00:11:38.200 had sent so that searchers would know what to look for they went far and beyond but they found nothing

00:11:44.360 those documents have vanished as of tonight the company has no idea and no working theory even

00:11:52.040 about what happened to this trove of materials documents that are directly relevant to the

00:11:56.520 presidential campaign just six days from now we spoke to executives at that company a few hours ago

00:12:02.840 they seemed baffled and deeply bothered by this and so are we i'm going to comment on this

00:12:10.280 an hour number three but i wanted to get your thoughts did you because i saw this last night

00:12:15.080 and then i went online and i saw comments about it and it's the stereotypical you know leftist stuff

00:12:21.640 saying this because they didn't exist you're just making this up etc etc etc any first thoughts on this

00:12:29.960 i mean it's incredibly strange right i mean obviously some packages do get lost they're not usually

00:12:34.840 opened though and then the contents removed i don't know exactly what would happen i mean i i i

00:12:39.960 assume they didn't write tucker carlson big hunter documents inside on the outside of the envelope

00:12:45.640 um so i mean unless i mean it's hard to know exactly what if it made it all the way across

00:12:51.000 the country till 3 44 a.m the day before someone would have had to know maybe the producer's name

00:12:56.760 and like it's just a it's a weird string of events that would lead to these things disappearing

00:13:02.120 but i i mean if this if the documents if the uh company went through all the records and they could

00:13:08.520 find it all the way here and this doesn't happen normally it is very very strange i assume please

00:13:13.800 tell me they took pictures of the documents and they still have them right i mean they didn't sell

00:13:17.640 one copy they got they got copies i hope across the country i assume and you would think there's also

00:13:23.880 video right that would be uh taken in the facility wouldn't you you would think there'd be video

00:13:30.920 surveillance here's why i think this is absolutely real did you notice he didn't say ups or federal

00:13:36.440 express he believes the company he believes the company and the company is upset about it otherwise

00:13:43.080 he would have named the company thrown them under the bus thrown under the bus and he believes that

00:13:47.880 there's a chance that they will find out who did this and uh i i have some uh i have some comments

00:13:55.480 coming up in the third hour because my wife and i talked about it last night she was like come on 0.89

00:13:59.320 and i just reminded her of a few things and she was like oh yeah so i will comment on this on hour

00:14:09.240 number three coming up she knows how tucker didn't call out the company but glenn did call out his wife

00:14:15.720 that's right and i have her i put her in a federal express bag and just now she's missing

00:14:22.360 now she's missing the bag i got the bag wow there are so many jokes in there

00:14:30.840 this is the best of the glenn beck program

00:14:42.360 seth dylan may he live forever is the ceo of the babylon b the world's most trusted

00:14:51.000 factually accurate news source we have seth on the phone with us now hi glenn thanks for having

00:15:00.680 me on you bet so i think one of the funniest thing i mean you guys are funny every single day and i

00:15:06.680 love what you do um thank you but one of the funniest things i've seen in a while and it was

00:15:12.120 because of the reaction was the was the post where you said senator hirono demands uh that amy coney 0.64

00:15:21.800 barrett be weighed against a duck to see if she's a witch uh yeah and the quotes were all from monty

00:15:28.920 python i mean it was really brilliant and you had a picture of her in the committee hearing with a duck

00:15:35.080 in a burlap bag next door and uh uh you were banned by facebook we were demonetized demonetized yeah

00:15:44.760 they didn't take down our page but they they threatened us well they didn't threaten they

00:15:49.320 penalized us with demonetization and said that this was an incitement to violence because

00:15:54.520 there was a line in that article that said we must burn her and anyway wait wait but wait

00:15:59.480 you can't just say that you have to say the entire line do you have the entire line from

00:16:07.400 because i i think i have it here someplace we do yeah you want to read her door no go ahead go ahead

00:16:14.600 i gotta find it hold on one second uh i just love this i just love this line i'm looking for it too

00:16:22.280 absolutely absolutely absurd oh she's a witch all right just look at her said senator hirono just 0.65

00:16:27.880 look at the way she's dressed how she's so much prettier and smarter than us i just know it we 1.00

00:16:31.800 must burn her i mean it's just it's absolutely ridiculous and the line about i know not only am 0.97

00:16:39.080 i a senator i know a few things about science and uh wood floats so do ducks and so if she weighs the 1.00

00:16:48.280 the same weight as a duck uh she can be burned because she's what it's i mean it's great stuff and

00:16:54.120 there's no there's no way anyone took that seriously no no and this is we've had this happen

00:17:00.840 before where there's just stories that i mean if you remember what happened with cnn uh the cnn story

00:17:05.960 we did and snopes fact checking it um you know we did we did a piece about how um cnn had bought an

00:17:12.920 industrial washing machine to spin the news in before they published it and it was just like on the face of

00:17:19.800 it's so absurd obviously they're not going to spin it like that it doesn't even make sense it's just

00:17:23.720 silly it's just a silly joke about their bias and their agenda right um but but they fact-checked it

00:17:30.040 and facebook uh threatened to penalize us for that because we were putting out misinformation so it was

00:17:35.640 a similar situation where i mean there are stories that we publish that that are close enough to the

00:17:42.200 truth reality everything is believable today right so i mean it's right it's very frequent that will

00:17:47.320 become close to the truth and that will even prophecy prophesy the truth because these things come true

00:17:52.600 all the time but um in these cases these are two examples where we've had run-ins with facebook

00:17:58.440 and these are the most outrageous stories you can imagine and plus this one this is a common reference

00:18:02.840 i mean money is a classic popular film so you know people who are reading this understand that this is a

00:18:09.480 joke so when you said to facebook well hang on just a second you allow the leaders of black lives 0.99

00:18:17.400 matter to say if we don't get our way burn this system down that's allowed but right this is a

00:18:24.840 violation of your your violence portion uh of your rules yeah this is the point that i make it it's not

00:18:32.920 that we're actually violating their community standards you know they did apologize and reinstate us

00:18:37.640 whatever if we made us think about it but we're not we're never actually violating their community

00:18:41.960 standards but they're always reaching to right to try to treat us as if we did and my question is

00:18:47.720 and the question that they won't answer is why why are they treating us that way you know there's

00:18:51.960 there's plenty of other sites out there there's movements there's groups there's there's groups

00:18:55.800 that call for violence promote violence they consider violence a justified option instead of discourse

00:19:02.920 uh and we're just simply we wake up every day glenn in the morning we look at the headlines and we

00:19:07.560 think what would be a funny take on that what would be a funny take on that and that's what we do we

00:19:11.960 go and write a funny you know uh satirical uh take on the issues whatever they are so that's how i mean

00:19:18.600 we have no ill intentions whatsoever but it goes beyond the social networks you have media coverage of

00:19:24.520 us too i don't know if you saw the piece in the new york times recently it was you know one more

00:19:29.080 instance of them questioning our motives and saying are they are they trying to misinform

00:19:33.560 people under the guise of comedy and this is how they circumvent facebook's rules imagine saying that

00:19:39.160 about nbc's uh saturday night live which i do believe is biased but i just did i don't watch it

00:19:46.840 if i don't like it i don't watch it right right but it only they say those things about us but i mean

00:19:53.560 look you know you've got you've got a lot of political statements being made over at the onion the

00:19:57.080 onion is the most popular satire site that's on the other side of the aisle from us in terms of

00:20:01.320 you know political meanings and and and their motives are never questioned they're just considered

00:20:06.120 a funny satire site um and we see that all the time the media's treatment the media's silent on on

00:20:11.720 on their stuff and then the fact checks that are done of the onion which are fewer and further

00:20:15.720 between than ours are so friendly if they're they're with kid gloves it's oh this is this is a satire

00:20:21.480 site the best satire site on the internet it's funny stuff just laugh at it that's the way they

00:20:25.480 handle those fact checks so uh we we are certainly treated differently there's double standards all

00:20:30.120 over the place and i'm not sure how people don't see it uh we're talking to seth dylan uh the ceo of

00:20:35.400 the babylon b um so you you won this uh they they re-monetized you but you know that doesn't help for

00:20:44.200 the lost money and the lost exposure that you have uh you suffered during that time my problem is um

00:20:51.800 with this system you are guilty until you prove yourself innocent right this flips american the

00:21:01.720 thought of american justice and fair play completely on her head well i'd say let me say it's even worse 0.76

00:21:09.000 than that uh it's worse than that because we are only out of facebook jail because we have a platform we

00:21:16.360 have we are able to make noise we have a huge following a very vocal following that's loyal and

00:21:20.840 devoted to us we have reporters people in the media people like you that follow us on twitter and facebook

00:21:26.920 and and we'll talk about this stuff when we make people aware of it so we're able to um bring negative

00:21:34.040 attention to facebook's doorstep when they do this kind of stuff to us but what about the little guys

00:21:39.160 what about people who don't have a large following what about a small business who posts you know blog

00:21:43.080 article that was deemed you know an incitement to violence and they get shut down they have no

00:21:47.880 recourse whatsoever so they don't even have the opportunity to appeal or make no or make noise or

00:21:53.720 prove themselves innocent so it it you you have no uh you need a platform in order to do that we found

00:22:00.120 that we're only successful in this case this is a great example of this we we went through the formal

00:22:05.400 channels of appealing with facebook um they give you that option when this stuff happens and the person who

00:22:11.720 manually reviewed this article upheld the original ruling that it was an incitement to violence

00:22:17.560 so we got a firm no from facebook they said no you're demonetized until you fix this you got to

00:22:21.960 edit that article um and that's when we went public with it and brought attention to it because that's

00:22:26.360 just ridiculous but we're fortunate enough to be in a position where we can do that but not everybody

00:22:32.120 is how many people does this happen to and they have no recourse well they did this to me when you

00:22:37.000 you know when i was on fox i you know i this show started as a comedy show a lot of the stuff i do

00:22:43.480 you know i i've done in the past has been uh you know with a comedic bent to be able to make the point

00:22:50.120 they took everything that i did took it out of context made it seem like i really actually meant those

00:22:57.320 things and and it it was just not worth the hassle anymore which is so damaging because i think they

00:23:06.440 know the power of comedy yeah yeah they do it's a threat i mean i look we love this quote from gk

00:23:14.920 chesterton it's a it's a brilliant he puts it brilliantly and framing the effectiveness of humor

00:23:20.760 he said humor can get in under the door while seriousness is still fumbling at the handle and i love

00:23:26.360 that because it's it's true i mean humor is disarming when you wrap a message in the package

00:23:30.520 of humor it's easier to deliver it it's more easily received this stuff that more easily goes viral

00:23:35.240 even on really controversial or heated topics um so you know when we're making our points really

00:23:40.600 effectively using it then yeah they try to find ways to to uh to denigrate us to smear us to to shut us

00:23:47.960 up um and it's it's clearly you know a building of a predicate for censorship and in our view and

00:23:53.720 um and certainly dangerous have you have you been following at all the uh truth and reconciliation

00:24:01.240 trials and committees uh suggestions that that the democrats are seemingly wanting to pick up have you

00:24:09.400 been following that uh truth and reconciliation you're talking about identifying people um after

00:24:15.880 this election is over you know picking out these people who are problematic yes yes anybody in the media

00:24:21.880 you know anybody and i've heard mentions of that and you know trying to build lists you this is not

00:24:27.320 over you know we're going to come after you kind of stuff and a lot of that i don't know how much of

00:24:31.400 that is uh is an is an empty threat but i certainly wouldn't put it past them to to think in those terms

00:24:36.840 and and try to do something like that i think it's i think it's awful seth i'll have my well i'll have my

00:24:42.040 research team send you some information on this and their white papers on it it's not an empty threat the

00:24:47.800 extreme left is really pushing for this and that puts all of us uh especially you i don't know if you

00:24:57.560 know who um oh shoot what was his name uh i can't remember now he was the famous actor in germany uh he

00:25:06.360 was probably the number one box office uh comedy actor uh and he took on the uh the nazis for a long

00:25:16.840 time finally escaped uh because they shut him down but he really thought he could get away with it in

00:25:22.680 the end he his story is remarkable uh those people who uh don't appreciate the uh the fact that they're

00:25:34.120 not infallible uh when they want to shut people up they become very vindictive and they go after

00:25:40.600 people who can rally or people that can make people laugh yep yeah well i mean it's all the more reason

00:29:58.840 of us uh are and why they're important sure um prager you did this fantastic series called stories

00:30:08.040 of us where um you know they just elevated personal stories of people who have realized uh the lunacy

00:30:15.560 of the left um who have come face to face with what the radical left is really trying to accomplish

00:30:21.480 in america and um we have seen the light so to speak um so it's a series of people who who tell

00:30:27.800 their personal stories of how they were once liberal or leftist or maybe even not necessarily

00:30:33.480 even an obama voter but um someone who identified as a liberal before and the veil was sort of pulled

00:30:39.800 back over the last three to four years um with the rise of president trump and um you know there's just

00:30:47.160 there's a shift happening right now so the series is is such a such a great representation of certain

00:30:52.360 people including myself who have really come around and seen all the ways that the media has

00:30:57.160 been lying to us um all the ways that we have been brainwashed and indoctrinated in higher education i i

00:31:03.480 tell that as part of my story as well um as someone who went to college and graduate school i left school

00:31:10.120 um truly hating america and and hating the country that gave me and my family so many opportunities so

00:31:16.440 this series is really a testament to to how people can change their minds once they see the light i

00:31:21.720 mean you hated it so much you moved i did i i was on the road for almost three years glenn i was on the

00:31:30.760 road internationally i said to myself in um at the end of 2000 i believe it was 2014 i said to myself i

00:31:38.680 said i'm out of here maybe it was even 2013 i left i went to australia for a while i went to south america

00:31:44.520 for a while i jumped around from peru to bolivia to chile and you know what's funny is i was in all

00:31:49.800 these different countries and especially developing countries in south america and seeing how they

00:31:54.440 lived and um and actually down the line what's funny is that all those experiences really helped

00:31:59.800 me understand that the united states of america is truly the best country to live in and it really

00:32:05.160 brought me back to realize what a blessing it is to even be born in this country so besides that what

00:32:09.960 was it that opened your eyes what what was it that started really making you say wait i i'm i'm wrong

00:32:19.160 about all of this stuff i was working as an editor and as a writer for mainstream media publications

00:32:26.200 a lot of digital publications that were geared towards women um you know these lifestyle slash news hybrid

00:32:33.000 publications are actually really the machine that that's producing the most information that's being

00:32:37.480 released to millennials and gen z and i was working in that industry and i realized after um working

00:32:44.760 full-time in the office day to day seeing how editors and editorial directors will censor content

00:32:52.440 and how they will frame all of their content depending on clicks views um because that's exactly how these

00:32:59.160 companies make money is that the advertisers will buy will buy ads depending on how many clicks and views

00:33:04.120 they get and i watched day by day in the office how it was almost like a cult um you if you were

00:33:11.240 working in this industry there was just no doubt that you are leftist you were liberal and um i actually

00:33:16.920 had a co-worker come up to me this young lady who said she whispered to me she said i am terrified that

00:33:22.120 our boss will find out that i'm a registered republican and all these little things bit by bit and and

00:33:27.720 seeing how they would censor my own content and whether it was have to whether it had to do with culture

00:33:32.040 and politics or whether it even had to do with health and fitness and that really started to

00:33:36.360 wake me up and then early 2017 i watched a full unedited speech of president trump's and that's in

00:33:43.640 that second i said to myself we are being lied to and that's when it all started to change for me

00:33:48.760 you um you actually said uh or wrote 10 new year's resolutions for people of color that they have for

00:33:57.400 white people that's right i mean i did write and it's not i didn't write that right and but that

00:34:05.000 didn't come from you right no no this is actually a really interesting um interesting point that i i

00:34:11.640 like to tell people is that when you're an editor and a writer for these mainstream media publications

00:34:16.920 what the directors do is they give you a long list of posts and articles that they want you to write

00:34:22.920 right because they have very specific traffic goals that they need to hit every day and every

00:34:26.600 week every month and so the list would be you know just some of the the most radical stuff i've ever

00:34:32.840 seen like you know 10 new year's resolutions that um intersectional feminists have for men everywhere 1.00

00:34:38.600 um 10 ways that cultural appropriation hurts everyone especially minorities um you know 10 ways that

00:34:45.240 president trump is causing mental illness in the united states of america and these are the kinds of

00:34:50.200 things that we were assigned and we were told to write and um and we really there was no choice 0.94

00:34:55.080 in the matter you either wrote this or you didn't have a job so give me the chicken and the egg if if

00:35:01.240 you're writing this because the editor says to but the editor is only looking at what people are consuming

00:35:07.320 what they want who's leading who that is that's the question that's that's really the question and that's

00:35:15.000 something that i found myself asking um too and and you know the funny thing is once you start to

00:35:20.040 ask these questions in in media once you are a person who works in the industry and you start to

00:35:25.240 just raise some questions to your director or your boss whoever it might be you're shut down very

00:35:30.600 quickly um and i remember asking very specifically there was one year at the last media company i worked

00:35:36.040 for they had a ton of layoffs we weren't hitting traffic goals they had to lay off a ton of people

00:35:40.440 and they told us specifically we're we're not going to spend any extra money guys we need to tighten

00:35:45.240 up on everything and the next thing i knew they hired an external team to come in and teach about

00:35:49.720 unconscious bias and diversity and i i asked the question i just posed the question i thought we

00:35:55.480 were supposed to cut back on unnecessary expenses and i asked them i said how does this how does this

00:36:01.800 unconscious bias workshop directly contribute to revenue growth in our company directly contribute to

00:36:08.920 ensuring that we don't have more layoffs in the company and as soon as you start asking these

00:36:12.760 questions that's that's when you know they either tell you to shut up or leave

00:36:18.520 how important is this election and can you believe that you are fighting for the exact opposite side you

00:36:27.080 ever thought you would um sometimes i wake up and i have to pinch myself because i i did spend so you

00:36:34.520 know several years in the machine of higher education um and i know that people say this i feel like people

00:36:40.600 say it almost every election but i do truly believe that this election is the most important that we

00:36:45.560 have seen because it really is we're at a crossroads where we're asking ourselves do we want to preserve

00:36:51.480 america do we want to preserve american ideals and values or do we want to create destruction and chaos and

00:36:58.760 tear it all down and um a lot of women a lot of a lot of women especially in the suburbs believe that

00:37:05.080 that that's what donald trump brings is just nothing but chaos they do believe that and that's because

00:37:11.240 of the content that they've been consuming and that the content that's been shoved down their throats

00:37:15.640 for so many years um and and that's really the sad thing that's why i did this series of prager you

00:37:21.320 because i really i wanted young women especially to understand that we have been lied to so much

00:37:27.800 especially when it comes to president trump who objectively when you look at his record when you look at

00:37:32.760 the fact that he was a billionaire who who then decided to go into public service and work for

00:37:37.080 free to serve our country that's when you can really see that president trump he is the man

00:37:41.000 who cares about america he is the man who cares about law and order and he's the man who's going

00:37:45.000 to preserve american ideals and values and so that's why i say that this election really is the most

00:37:49.960 important and and now is now is not the time to back down or or um you know be scared at these threats

00:37:56.600 of being racist or sexist or misogynist whatever it might be because at this point the left is overplaying

00:38:01.960 their hands right they're doubling down on the same thing they did four years ago and i think

00:38:05.640 people are really starting to wake up to it i hope so gina and thank you for helping that i i watched

00:38:11.320 your video this weekend i thought it was just tremendous and i retweeted it uh it's prager you

00:38:16.680 new series stories of us people who have been in the system and have spat themselves out because

00:38:25.240 something's not quite right uh i mean you'll go down a wormhole or a rabbit hole of just watching

00:38:31.640 one after another after another they're very inspiring and yours is available now at glennbeck.com
