00:00:00.220 The Blaze Radio Network.
00:00:04.900 On Demand.
00:00:05.960 Today on the podcast, Democrats are still trying to delay the Kavanaugh confirmation.
00:00:11.300 I don't...
00:00:11.840 It's...
00:00:12.400 This is insanity.
00:00:14.360 I mean, get the... 0.99
00:00:15.120 Get your clown nose out and make sure you put it on your face to listen to that segment. 0.77
00:00:19.280 If you are a subscriber to this podcast, which you are, or at least you're listening to it, 0.86
00:00:23.080 you should listen this weekend as well.
00:00:24.220 A new interview podcast coming out.
00:00:26.280 This has Robert Spencer.
00:00:28.080 He's the director of Jihad Watch.
00:00:30.060 You know, it's 9-11 week.
00:00:31.580 What's the state of the jihad right now?
00:00:33.260 What's the history of it?
00:00:34.100 Yeah, this podcast, we have a little bit of it in this podcast, but also this weekend,
00:00:39.600 podcast stand-alone.
00:00:41.400 Something that you need to listen to and archive, because he's being deplatformed and worse.
00:00:48.420 Susan Collins is kind of almost being bribed to vote against Kavanaugh. 0.83
00:00:52.760 I don't think this is going to be effective, but we'll tell you that story.
00:00:54.820 It's going to be good.
00:00:55.040 Also, Bill O'Reilly joins us for the full hour.
00:00:59.000 Bill O'Reilly.
00:01:00.440 Talks about the Supreme Court.
00:01:02.620 Talks a little of Me Too.
00:01:04.260 Talks a bunch of stuff.
00:01:06.820 Also, how you can help with Hurricane Florence and relief with MercuryOne.org.
00:01:12.040 We'll get into that a little bit.
00:01:13.780 And a completely ridiculous New York Times story about Nikki Haley.
00:01:20.000 Now, the story has some interesting details in it, and Jake Tapper and CNN kind of go through
00:01:24.720 what really happened.
00:01:25.680 But it's an accusation of crazy spending from Nikki Haley that is not at all accurate.
00:01:30.300 But what's interesting about this is that Jake Tapper corrected it.
00:01:34.500 Jake Tapper, who is always fake news, fake news.
00:01:36.640 CNN, always fake news, fake news.
00:01:38.280 They corrected it.
00:01:39.200 But the New York Times actually had that in the article as well.
00:01:44.220 The headline was misleading.
00:01:46.000 The way they wrote it was a little misleading because they buried some of the facts.
00:01:51.200 But it really goes to show you it's everyone who takes a story, doesn't read it, or is counting
00:01:57.880 on you not reading the story and their spin on it that is really the fake news.
00:02:03.920 It's all on the podcast today.
00:02:12.560 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:02:18.600 It's Friday, September 14th.
00:02:21.480 Glenn Beck.
00:02:22.880 Spartacus has had his victory.
00:02:26.800 Four days.
00:02:28.720 Yes, the Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee have done it.
00:02:34.500 They have delayed Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation vote until Thursday.
00:02:39.640 What a victory for Spartacus. 0.97
00:02:42.020 All of the theatrics and utter ridiculousness of the past couple of weeks bought them four days.
00:02:48.660 In the meantime, I also want to extend my congratulations for what else they've done.
00:02:54.000 Nice work.
00:02:55.060 Democrats, you have done an amazing job turning the Senate Judiciary Committee into an absolute joke.
00:03:02.080 I seriously think everyone involved, well, maybe not Ben Sasse and Mike Lee, everyone involved
00:03:08.560 should just now arrive at work in one clown car. 0.98
00:03:13.300 This is ridiculous. 0.99
00:03:16.540 I mean, are you engaging knowingly into self-satire? 0.97
00:03:23.960 As if we needed any reason to look at big government in utter disgust, but nice work on giving us one more reason.
00:03:30.680 Just for a quick recap, this confirmation started off with Democrats shouting down the Judiciary Committee chairperson 0.93
00:03:36.200 during his opening comments.
00:03:37.840 Then it rapidly devolved into a showdown between future Democratic presidential hopefuls desperate for camera time.
00:03:45.680 Cory Booker calling himself Spartacus.
00:03:49.240 I am Spartacus.
00:03:52.320 Please, somebody pay attention to me.
00:03:55.380 Somebody call me Spartacus, please.
00:03:57.420 But they saved what I believe is the worst for what I hope is the last.
00:04:07.500 What do you do if all of your insane theatrics fail?
00:04:11.280 Well, you just allege sexual misconduct.
00:04:14.680 Obviously.
00:04:16.620 Dianne Feinstein, the ranking Democrat on the committee,
00:04:19.080 recently announced that she had forwarded information to the FBI regarding a possible case,
00:04:23.800 a possible case involving Kavanaugh.
00:04:26.800 She gave absolutely no details.
00:04:29.140 I wonder if it's Anita Hill.
00:04:33.520 But she did mention that there were unnamed sources in New York.
00:04:38.360 Oh, good, good, good.
00:04:39.740 New York Times claims it concerns sexual misconduct when Kavanaugh was in high school.
00:04:47.480 Let me say that again.
00:04:48.260 When Kavanaugh was in high school.
00:04:55.340 High school.
00:04:57.640 Okay, how many of us, you know, weren't exactly adults when we were in high school?
00:05:06.100 Oh, I don't know.
00:05:06.720 All of us.
00:05:08.160 Do we know if there was like a Billy Madison situation where he had to re-attend high school as an adult?
00:05:13.720 I don't know.
00:05:15.620 I don't.
00:05:16.120 Maybe.
00:05:16.800 Maybe.
00:05:17.120 This is her statement.
00:05:18.840 I have received information from an individual concerning the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.
00:05:26.420 Now, that individual strongly requested confidentiality.
00:05:31.840 They've declined to come forward or press the matter even any further than this.
00:05:37.180 And I've honored that decision.
00:05:38.680 But I have referred the matter to the federal investigative authorities.
00:05:44.220 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:05:47.420 The individual does not want to be named, does not want to come forward, refuses to press this any further, but you've turned it over to, you're honoring that request by turning it over to the FBI?
00:06:02.500 I have secret information about Senator Feinstein.
00:06:13.720 It is bad.
00:06:14.720 Oh, it is bad.
00:06:15.720 It is bad.
00:06:16.660 It is really bad.
00:06:18.420 It concerns golden showers with elephants. 0.97
00:06:23.080 She was humping Putin's leg.
00:06:26.240 Well, I don't want to say anymore. 0.95
00:06:27.440 I don't want to say anymore.
00:06:28.740 It's not coming from me, and this person, I can't identify, doesn't want to come out, will not testify, doesn't want to press this any further, but I'm going to whisper this into the ears of the FBI, and while I'm doing that, I'm going to tell all of the American people about it.
00:06:49.440 I'm just honoring the request of the person who refuses to be named, does not want to press it any further.
00:06:58.740 Are you kidding me?
00:07:02.040 The FBI has already commented saying they are not opening an investigation.
00:07:07.080 Why not with that kind of evidence?
00:07:09.380 How do you not just throw him in jail?
00:07:12.640 I'm sure they're probably a little pissed off at being brought into this theater of the absurd, but I would like to deliver the very hard truth to the Senate Democrats this morning. 0.98
00:07:25.840 You've lost your mind. 0.99
00:07:27.560 You've lost your mind.
00:07:29.300 Brett Kavanaugh, I mean, Brett Kavanaugh, when Glenn Beck is like, I don't know about Brett Kavanaugh, I don't think he's strong enough.
00:07:36.300 Are you kidding me?
00:07:39.200 There's parts of me that hope you turn him down.
00:07:44.120 Just hope you turn him down.
00:07:46.320 Because I would love to see this administration going, oh, okay, that guy was too extreme?
00:07:53.820 Well, let me show you what's behind curtain number two.
00:07:56.960 He'll be fully confirmed in two weeks.
00:08:00.920 He will sit on the Supreme Court.
00:08:03.180 Merit Garland isn't going to suddenly materialize and conquer a Supreme Court seat by his own hand like Conan the Barbarian.
00:08:12.100 Spartacus has failed.
00:08:16.760 You have embarrassed yourself.
00:08:19.700 You have embarrassed your party, and you have embarrassed the entire country.
00:08:25.560 Congratulations.
00:08:26.840 Here, we'll throw you another match. 0.99
00:08:28.700 September 11th, 2001, we looked at each other, all of us, all of us, and said, oh, man, doesn't it feel good that the nonsense has stopped?
00:08:42.120 Doesn't it feel good that we're actually talking about things that matter in life?
00:08:46.560 I'm never going to go back.
00:08:49.780 I'm going to stay awake.
00:08:54.340 I said I'm going to stay wide awake.
00:09:00.480 Look at us.
00:09:03.560 Let me ask you this.
00:09:06.300 We're still fighting a frigging war that started in 2001.
00:09:11.340 We're still fighting it.
00:09:13.320 Can you name where our soldiers are?
00:09:15.900 Can you name the countries where our soldiers are?
00:09:17.960 Can you name what we're doing?
00:09:19.320 Can you tell me what we're doing, who we're fighting?
00:09:22.200 God forbid you say who we're fighting.
00:09:24.520 You can't say who we're fighting.
00:09:27.340 Well, how can we possibly win if we don't even know who we're fighting?
00:09:32.040 September 14th, 2001, we were beginning to see who we were going to fight.
00:09:37.020 We were going to fight people with a perverted idea of what the world should be like.
00:09:43.720 People who blew up these beautiful ancient statues carved from a mountain of Buddha.
00:09:52.640 You remember that?
00:09:54.100 They were world heritage sites.
00:09:58.480 Blown up.
00:09:59.660 Because, well, it's Sharia law tells us to. 0.99
00:10:06.040 Molesting little girls, marrying them off at eight years old. 1.00
00:10:12.460 Female genital mutilation. 0.99
00:10:17.500 12th century, if that. 0.95
00:10:19.760 Might have even made the 12th century look like barbarians.
00:10:23.240 Or the other way around.
00:10:29.360 Now, can we talk about it?
00:10:31.400 No.
00:10:32.380 No, we really can't.
00:10:34.820 Robert Spencer is a guy that we're going to have on the podcast this weekend.
00:10:38.800 You need to hear him.
00:10:40.200 Robert Spencer.
00:10:40.920 And by the way, listen while you can.
00:10:43.700 This is the biggest message I have for you today.
00:10:46.460 Listen while you can.
00:10:48.240 Gather as much information from people that you can.
00:10:55.100 Print it out.
00:10:57.200 I read everything on Kindle.
00:11:00.160 I'm stopping.
00:11:01.660 I'm buying every physical book I can.
00:11:05.420 Because you don't actually own that.
00:11:08.000 They can take that off your Kindle at any time.
00:11:11.220 There's nothing better than a library that can be erased.
00:11:15.260 Especially if it's politically incorrect.
00:11:16.980 Now, there's no evidence that that's happening.
00:11:19.920 Or anybody's even thinking of that happening now.
00:11:22.220 But it can.
00:11:24.000 And in a few minutes, I'll show you what Google is doing.
00:11:26.440 And tell me that it won't happen.
00:11:30.520 Here's Robert Spencer.
00:11:32.600 Robert Spencer is a scholar.
00:11:36.520 And he has been trying to warn the world about what he says is Islam. 0.98
00:11:44.220 And he's technically correct if you look back to the Koran and you know what it means on how it's written, etc., etc.
00:11:55.880 This is the way.
00:11:57.380 The way they're practicing it over in the Middle East is the way Islam is supposed to function. 0.96
00:12:03.460 But there are millions of people, maybe 90% of those who are Muslim, don't agree with the old style. 1.00
00:12:17.560 But you have to know what the old style is because those are the people trying to kill us.
00:12:22.520 Here's a bit of the interview.
00:12:26.760 Some things that people would maybe disagree with.
00:12:30.480 Some things that people should do their own homework and go, wait a minute, he said this.
00:12:34.940 Let me look that up.
00:12:35.960 And go to original sources.
00:12:38.020 Yes.
00:12:38.220 But I haven't heard anything here that makes me say, well, I don't know anything that would make me say this, that you should be silenced.
00:12:50.360 Well, obviously, I don't think I should.
00:12:51.940 But I think that anyone who speaks honestly about the nature of this threat and the fact that there are elements of Islam that give rise to violence, this doesn't mean every Muslim is violent, but that the ones who are are able to justify their actions by recourse to the holy texts. 0.98
00:13:07.360 Anybody who speaks honestly about that is nowadays systematically targeted and vilified with an attempt to destroy and completely discredit him.
00:13:16.080 Do you, are we in, are we in McCarthy times?
00:13:22.960 Oh, yeah.
00:13:23.380 This is worse than McCarthyism.
00:13:25.200 Those guys could work.
00:13:26.960 You know, they may have worked under pseudonyms, but they could work.
00:13:30.800 I mean, I'm still doing this, but there's no chance I could get any other kind of work, even under a pseudonym, because it would be ultimately discovered and then that would be that.
00:13:38.860 And the idea that speaking honestly about the derivations of the jihad threat and its nature and magnitude today renders one a social pariah, I think, is ridiculous and evidence of how topsy-turvy the world is. 0.73
00:13:52.740 But that's how it is.
00:13:55.640 Here's a guy who's been deplatformed, completely deplatformed.
00:14:00.360 He is being squashed by all sides.
00:14:06.820 In fact, in something new that the left has discovered, which I think is absolutely insidious, MasterCard has come out and said, we won't do any transactions on anything related to him.
00:14:22.820 This is the latest.
00:14:24.140 This is what they're doing now with gun control.
00:14:27.980 New York State has encouraged those banking facilities to not do any transactions and not provide any financial services to those who manufacture guns or sell guns of a certain type.
00:14:46.200 You know, the weapon of war, otherwise known as the modern sporting rifle.
00:14:52.840 Is this the America you want to live in?
00:14:57.980 Now, shouting fake news is not going to help us.
00:15:04.280 Actually talking about the issues will.
00:15:09.260 And actually finding ways to reach out to people who are on both sides of the aisle.
00:15:16.140 And I'm not talking about the crazies.
00:15:17.880 I'm talking about people who are beginning to wake up on both sides and saying, wait a minute.
00:15:25.140 People are silencing speech.
00:15:29.900 We cannot even fight a war if we can't identify who we're fighting or what we're fighting.
00:15:37.320 If we said we were just fighting the Germans and we were told we could not ever talk about Nazism.
00:15:46.060 Let me ask you this.
00:15:47.420 If we couldn't talk about Nazism, if we weren't allowed to know what that was, would you feel comfortable with Germans today? 0.97
00:15:56.140 Because I wouldn't.
00:15:58.660 Of course you'd be racist.
00:16:00.900 Of course you'd be against the Germans and never trust them. 1.00
00:16:05.820 If you were told you can't talk about Nazism.
00:16:10.560 Because it was the Nazi ideology that actually changed those people. 0.61
00:16:16.820 And not all of them.
00:16:18.220 Hitler came in with 30%. 0.92
00:16:22.160 A lot of people went along with it.
00:16:25.940 But why did they go along with it?
00:16:27.620 They went along with it for the same reason that there are people here in America that stay silent.
00:16:33.560 Because their lives are at stake because of the zealots that will kill them.
00:16:39.960 I'm going to take you to Google next.
00:16:44.340 And I'm going to show you what's happening in Google right now.
00:16:48.220 But I want you to know that the voices are being silenced.
00:16:54.740 I want you to know that I ask Bill O'Reilly, Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro, Rush Limbaugh, everyone.
00:17:07.160 I think everyone on the right, we need to have a summit.
00:17:12.200 We need to have no press.
00:17:14.540 We need to have a summit.
00:17:17.620 Because voices are being silenced.
00:17:22.060 And someone needs to step to the plate that can provide a platform bigger than anything I can provide or you can provide.
00:17:31.700 That will guarantee voices not being silenced.
00:17:37.760 And it's going to require all of us to come out of our competitive nature.
00:17:44.220 It's going to require all of us to set aside our differences.
00:17:49.640 If I agree with you 80%, or if you agree with me 80%, that doesn't make you my enemy.
00:17:59.280 You're not 20% my enemy.
00:18:02.040 We agree on 80%.
00:18:04.160 We have to put our differences aside.
00:18:09.360 And the American people have got to start understanding what is happening in this country.
00:18:16.520 Because it's not happening in Washington.
00:18:20.480 It's happening in Silicon Valley and in the banking sector.
00:18:25.300 The world is very, very complex.
00:18:38.260 And there are many stories that are coming together.
00:18:40.600 Let me go back to Robert Spencer.
00:18:43.440 He is a guy who is being deplatformed.
00:18:49.060 He is being deplatformed with financial services as well.
00:18:54.620 MasterCard will not do business with anyone who does business with him.
00:18:58.840 It's really, truly frightening.
00:19:01.040 This is worse than the McCarthy era. 0.67
00:19:03.280 This is a guy who is a scholar who wrote the history of jihad.
00:19:07.900 He is somebody who is very buttoned up.
00:19:11.700 You may not agree with him.
00:19:13.140 But you have to know history before you start to make claims.
00:19:17.680 Have you read his work?
00:19:20.480 Or are you just knee-jerk reaction?
00:19:23.280 Here he is on the treatment he receives at universities.
00:19:29.800 And so I had a manual of Islamic law with me certified by al-Azhar, the foremost institution in Sunni Islam,
00:19:36.660 where Barack Obama went to give his outreach speech to the Muslim world in 2009. 0.99
00:19:41.060 And I opened it up and I started to read about how the homosexual should be killed, should be put to death, 1.00
00:19:47.340 both him who gives and him who receives, the whole thing, very set out. 1.00
00:19:51.040 The whole place started to boo and boo and boo.
00:19:54.020 And I held up the book.
00:19:54.860 I said, you think I wrote this?
00:19:56.440 You think this comes from me?
00:19:58.660 And a young man came over in a kufi and a kaftan with the beard,
00:20:02.660 and he hugged the Queers Against Islamophobia guy and said, this is my best friend.
00:20:06.260 And I said, look, I didn't originate these laws. 0.71
00:20:11.480 Gays are being killed, put to death in Iran, in Saudi Arabia, in the ISIS domains, elsewhere, anywhere where Sharia is implemented. 0.89
00:20:18.780 Listen, here's a guy, you could hear that whole interview.
00:20:21.900 It's fascinating, and I highly recommend it.
00:20:25.980 In fact, I would, I don't even know if you can do this, but I would burn it to DVD.
00:20:30.160 Um, uh, I highly recommend that you listen to this, this guy and make your own mind up, but do your own homework.
00:20:39.680 Find out why you disagree with him.
00:20:42.380 It will make you stronger either way.
00:20:47.260 So he's being silenced.
00:20:49.060 Now, we know that, um, Google, through some smuggled video, these guys think that, I mean, they, they just are terrified of America.
00:21:02.580 In fact, please play the Google executive, uh, on the move to Canada.
00:21:07.120 This is Eileen Notten.
00:21:08.920 She is the, uh, vice president of people operations at Google.
00:21:13.440 The second question is around internal mobility.
00:21:16.900 Can I move to Canada?
00:21:19.060 Now, listen to how she treats this. 1.00
00:21:23.800 This is after the election.
00:21:24.800 Now, one could guesstimate that at least 50% of Americans are interested in moving to Canada right now.
00:21:32.100 And that might mean maybe at least 50% of Googlers might be interested in moving to Canada.
00:21:37.340 Not a chance.
00:21:37.640 Uh, Toronto and, uh, Waterloo can't handle us all, I'm afraid.
00:21:42.500 But she goes on to say, but we will move people.
00:21:45.240 Are you, are you, are you that unaware of what America is, what we represent, how important it is that we retain our Constitution and the Bill of Rights?
00:21:58.660 You want to move to Canada because you're afraid, what, your voice will be silenced?
00:22:05.620 What, you'll be rounded up?
00:22:07.640 Did you see the story from England with the LBGP, TBQ, IS, LMNOP, uh, groups that are now talking about humane gulags for those people who are homophobic or transphobic?
00:22:26.480 Because they have to be removed from society.
00:22:31.920 We are not a people that burn books.
00:22:34.260 We are not a people that silence people.
00:22:36.640 We cannot ever become those people.
00:22:39.360 Right now, Google is in bed with China.
00:22:43.700 They are, they are developing Android devices, a Chinese search app for Android devices.
00:22:51.580 Now, they've turned this down before, but suddenly, for some reason, they want to get in bed with Google.
00:22:58.600 Or Google wants to get into bed with China. 0.98
00:23:01.460 So, this is, we've talked about this before.
00:23:04.500 This is extraordinarily dangerous.
00:23:06.320 If you know what's happening, China 2020, what their goal is, what they will unleash,
00:23:12.120 because it's already in operation in three of the cities of China,
00:23:16.860 this is their stated goal of complete control of people,
00:23:22.960 their communications, their thoughts, their actions, their spending, total control by 2020.
00:23:32.820 Now, you would think that an organization like Google wouldn't want to have anything to do with that.
00:23:37.360 But instead, they are, they are doing, um, uh, development on a, an app codenamed Dragonfly.
00:23:46.920 It was designed to remove content that China's authoritarian government views as sensitive,
00:23:53.100 such as information about political dissidents, free speech, democracy, human rights, and peaceful protests.
00:24:01.040 Google is in bed with China. 0.82
00:24:04.340 If they will help remove speech in China, what makes us think they will not do the same to us, 0.70
00:24:11.780 or are not doing the same to us now?
00:24:15.320 I want to read something in a book that I find, um, frightening, uh, on multiple levels.
00:24:24.320 And I really, really want to, I really want to sit down and talk to this guy.
00:24:30.380 I don't know if he will.
00:24:31.760 We've had him on the show before, um, his name is Yuval Noah Harari.
00:24:37.600 And he's just written 21 lessons for the 21st century.
00:24:40.500 I just want you to listen, um, uh, to what he has, uh, what he has just, uh, said is, is coming.
00:24:49.480 The 21st century, what is it, what is it really going to look like?
00:24:53.940 He says, even more important, the twin revolutions of infotech and biotech could restructure not just economies and societies,
00:25:05.300 but our own bodies and minds.
00:25:08.500 In the past, we humans learned to control the world outside of us.
00:25:13.580 We had very little control of the world on the inside of us.
00:25:17.040 We knew how to build a dam and stop a river from flowing, but we didn't know how to stop the body from aging.
00:25:23.320 We knew how to design an irrigation system, but we had no idea how to design a brain.
00:25:28.460 If a mosquito buzzed in our ear and disturbed our sleep, we knew how to kill the mosquito.
00:25:32.460 But if a thought buzzed in our mind and kept us awake at night, most of us did not know how to kill the thought.
00:25:41.460 The revolutions in biotech and infotech will give us control of the world inside of us and will enable us to engineer and manufacture life.
00:25:53.680 We will learn how to design brains, extend lives, and kill thoughts at our discretion.
00:26:02.460 Still quoting,
00:26:03.660 Nobody knows what the consequences will be.
00:26:08.100 Humans, after all, were always far better at inventing tools than using them wisely.
00:26:14.000 It is easier to manipulate a river by building a dam than it is to predict all of the complex consequences that this will have for the wider ecological system.
00:26:23.980 Similarly, it will be easier to redirect the flow of our minds.
00:26:28.660 Similarly, similarly, I can't even say that word.
00:26:31.240 It will be easier to redirect the flow of our minds than to divine what that will do to our personal psychology and our social systems.
00:26:43.560 In the past, we gained the power to manipulate the world around us and reshape the entire planet.
00:26:48.980 Because we didn't understand the complexity of the global ecology, the changes we made has inadvertently disrupted the entire ecological system.
00:26:57.400 And now we face an ecological collapse.
00:27:00.380 You can agree or disagree.
00:27:01.740 In the coming century, biotech and infotech will give us the power to manipulate the world inside us and reshape ourselves.
00:27:11.780 But because we don't understand the complexity of our own minds, the changes we will make will we do not know the changes we will make that if they will upset our mental system to such an extent that we, too, may break down.
00:27:29.000 What are we doing talking about tweets?
00:27:34.000 What are we doing fighting about, you know, Norm MacDonald said something and so he's been kicked off the Tonight Show?
00:27:43.560 If we're kicking people off the frickin' Tonight Show for having an opinion, what do you think is coming our way?
00:27:52.840 If we have someone as powerful as Google getting in bed with a country as evil as China is and helping them silence voices and information, 0.98
00:28:06.260 what makes you think they're not already willing to do this here?
00:28:14.420 This week, I've presented evidence from Media Matters.
00:28:19.820 They are already receiving raw data on all of the interactions online with Twitter and Facebook and YouTube.
00:28:33.260 They have access to the raw data?
00:28:38.420 Who else has access to our raw data?
00:28:42.120 I certainly don't.
00:28:43.940 Boy, I'd love to see that.
00:28:45.960 I bet Google, Facebook, YouTube wouldn't let me see it.
00:28:50.620 They are also now advising Google, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter on what's offensive and what's not.
00:29:02.380 What's hate speech and what's not?
00:29:06.340 Are you comfortable with this?
00:29:07.980 Do you know they passed a big law in Europe?
00:29:13.560 Was it the UK?
00:29:14.540 Yes.
00:29:14.880 No, it was Europe.
00:29:15.540 Was it Europe overall?
00:29:16.840 European Union law?
00:29:18.300 That said that now all of these big tech companies have to, if you ask for it, prepare all of this information and show you exactly what they have and give it to you.
00:29:26.700 The idea being transparency, you own your data, all of that.
00:29:30.340 Of course, then you're giving all of this really important data to someone who's much less prepared and able to protect it from God only knows who's trying to find it from hackers and things like that.
00:29:41.940 But it's interesting to see because now they have, I think it's Facebook, has weekly standard.
00:29:47.400 They put them on the fact-checking team.
00:29:49.760 Good.
00:29:50.000 Right?
00:29:50.340 And it's a good thing, right?
00:29:51.420 You have a conservative organization that can actually look at these things.
00:29:55.080 Well, they fact-checked a think-progress piece.
00:29:58.800 And now the left is making all the same arguments.
00:30:01.680 Now, this has happened to them one time.
00:30:03.420 Once.
00:30:03.560 And it's happened to the right a zillion times.
00:30:05.640 But they're making all the same arguments.
00:30:07.520 What?
00:30:07.740 We're just going to have a weekly standard come in here and say that our article is wrong?
00:30:12.940 Now they're saying they're going to cut the access for this think-progress piece, which, by the way, weekly standard was completely right on.
00:30:18.900 It is a complete lie.
00:30:20.160 But they're going to cut the reach of that article by 80% because it's not true.
00:30:26.460 Now, they are right.
00:30:27.760 It isn't true.
00:30:28.420 It's typical think-progress, and they lie all the time.
00:30:31.440 Are you comfortable with anyone silencing anyone?
00:30:38.760 Because I am not.
00:30:40.640 I am not comfortable with the weekly standard telling anyone, don't run that story or reduce its penetration.
00:30:49.460 And I'm not comfortable with anyone, you know, media matters, politifact, or anything, telling anyone on the other side, don't run that.
00:30:57.980 I believe in the American people.
00:31:02.280 Treat us like adults.
00:31:04.620 And more importantly, respect the freedom of dissent, the freedom of speech.
00:31:11.920 No matter how ugly it is, it is the only way that people can remain free.
00:31:19.200 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and don't forget, rate us on iTunes.
00:31:35.080 Like listening to this podcast?
00:31:37.100 If you're not a subscriber, become one now on iTunes.
00:31:40.200 And while you're there, do us a favor and rate the show.
00:31:42.560 Cake bakers, quarterbacks, dresses, statues.
00:31:46.780 Much of America is getting outraged for outrage's sake.
00:31:50.760 And with all of the nonstop outrage coverage, we're actually missing out on the stuff we should be outraged about.
00:31:57.420 It's time to put the bottle down and end our bender.
00:32:00.320 In my new book, Addicted to Outrage, I talk about how thinking like an addict or a recovering alcoholic can actually help heal the country.
00:32:08.760 Addicted to Outrage.
00:32:10.400 On sale Tuesday, wherever books are sold.
00:32:12.560 So we started this conversation with Bill O'Reilly a few minutes ago where, you know, he said that it's not going to happen to where we're going to advise and consent anymore.
00:32:22.460 We're not going to find those people who are, you know, just wanting to read the Constitution as it was written because we're too highly divided now and we've politicized all this.
00:32:37.520 Do I have that right, Bill?
00:32:38.880 Yes.
00:32:39.260 And then the best example of sanctuary cities, the mayors and the governors take an oath upon their swearing in.
00:32:46.620 I'll uphold the Constitution.
00:32:48.080 The Constitution says that you follow federal, state and local law.
00:32:52.660 If you're a citizen, this is your duty as a citizen.
00:32:55.880 And all of a sudden, the governors and mayors say, no, we're not going to follow federal law on immigration.
00:33:01.360 We're going to do what we want.
00:33:02.300 Correct.
00:33:02.980 So when you reach a point, and that is an extreme point, people should understand it.
00:33:08.440 It's been mainstreamed by the media, but it isn't mainstream.
00:33:12.280 OK, this is basically repudiating the law of the land and embracing anarchy.
00:33:17.640 Once you reach that point where it's acceptable for public servants, whether they're judges or elected officials, to discard the Constitution at will, then you have what you have now where nothing matters other than my politics.
00:33:33.940 OK, so you said we're not going back there.
00:33:36.600 We're not going back to.
00:33:37.680 No, it's not going to happen.
00:33:39.000 So then this is an honest question.
00:33:41.720 This is an honest question.
00:33:42.620 Right now, we're in a world where if we're all being honest with each other, the left, the Democrats, they were not voting for Hillary.
00:33:52.320 Most of them were voting against Trump.
00:33:54.700 And most of the people that voted for Trump were voting against Hillary.
00:33:59.520 It's not what they were for.
00:34:00.920 It was what they were against.
00:34:01.960 And we are now entering a time where we are so afraid of my side being silenced that I will vote for someone that will silence them instead.
00:34:13.380 That's not good.
00:34:15.320 Am I just am I am I wasting my breath in my.
00:34:18.560 You know, I think there are Americans who are genuinely enthusiastic about liberal causes in the Democratic Party and vice versa, traditional causes in the Republican Party.
00:34:29.000 I think there are.
00:34:29.880 But the fear that we're going to be a socialist country does drive a lot of people to vote for Donald Trump and Republicans.
00:34:37.960 There's no doubt about right.
00:34:39.020 And it's not it.
00:34:39.740 And it's it's not it's it's not an unbased fear when you have candidates who last night in New York.
00:34:46.560 And I'd love to touch base with you on this.
00:34:48.460 You know, are socialists.
00:34:50.380 They're declared socialists.
00:34:51.940 And there's a difference between somebody who wants a welfare state and somebody who wants socialism.
00:34:57.240 I mean, even the the president of what was it, Denmark, I think, came over to the United States and said, I just want you to know, Bernie Sanders keeps saying we're a socialist country.
00:35:06.260 We're not.
00:35:07.100 We're a capitalist country that has a lot of welfare.
00:35:11.020 That's different.
00:35:11.860 So I get that.
00:35:14.120 But I just want to ask you again, this one last question, because I feel like you're saying to me, Glenn, it's not coming back.
00:35:20.820 Well, if it's not coming back, then I'm wasting my time fighting for something that means nothing to anyone.
00:35:28.080 I believe in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
00:35:31.640 I believe once we are somehow or another reminded that that's what stops all of this nonsense, we'll return.
00:35:39.140 But if we're not returning, then we should have a different discussion.
00:35:41.920 And that is, OK, socialism or what?
00:35:44.960 Well, there are politicians and there are people in the judiciary, i.e. judges, who will uphold the Constitution back.
00:35:57.640 I was told I was told by someone that you're whose name you would know in Congress just in the last few weeks.
00:36:05.520 And they said to me, Glenn, I can count the number of people in Washington in power that actually believe in the Bill of Rights and the Constitution.
00:36:15.460 I'm not that cynical.
00:36:17.240 I think there are people who do believe it.
00:36:20.980 And those are the people that you have to vote for and and and you have to promote what their policies are if you believe the person sincere.
00:36:30.400 But when when you see how Cynthia Nixon and I'll remind everybody that she played Nancy Reagan in my movie Killing Reagan. 1.00
00:36:40.420 I know the woman for a little bit how insane, insane her policies are. 1.00
00:36:48.880 They're not misguided. 0.71
00:36:51.480 They're not wrong. 0.99
00:36:53.160 They're insane. 0.99
00:36:55.300 They would destroy the state of New York. 0.82
00:36:59.140 OK, 35 percent of the Democratic Party voted for her. 0.99
00:37:05.300 Because, A, they don't know anything and B, they'd like to destroy the state.
00:37:11.460 They want to destroy the country.
00:37:14.300 May I try?
00:37:15.020 Wait, wait, wait.
00:37:15.540 May I may I translate and see if this is a fair translation?
00:37:19.640 They don't let me rephrase it.
00:37:22.480 And if it's not fair, tell me so.
00:37:25.120 When you say something like that, if I'm a Democrat, I'm like, you know what?
00:37:28.720 They don't want to destroy New York.
00:37:30.480 They live in New York.
00:37:31.660 So rephrasing.
00:37:33.960 They they are looking at her policies and they think that these are going to work.
00:37:40.140 And in my opinion, they're completely uninformed because we have a long list of history that shows they don't work.
00:37:47.460 And they don't think that what's happening now is working.
00:37:54.580 Wrong, Beck.
00:37:55.960 OK, why?
00:37:57.020 The money Democrats voted for Cuomo.
00:37:59.980 Sixty five percent.
00:38:01.700 Sixty five percent.
00:38:01.860 The people with assets, the people who have very expensive apartments in Manhattan and cars and jobs did not vote for Nixon.
00:38:13.500 But thirty five percent of people who live in New York City don't have anything.
00:38:20.360 They live in rent control.
00:38:21.820 They live in public housing.
00:38:23.540 They barely get by.
00:38:25.060 Right.
00:38:25.320 And they don't think that this blow it all because they don't think that this system is working.
00:38:31.340 Right.
00:38:31.820 Because no one is telling them and showing them that it is, but they just think it's not working.
00:38:37.040 So it's not that they I don't think the average Trump voter, when he says, I want to burn the system down, he doesn't mean I don't want to live in America anymore.
00:38:46.540 He means this what's happening in Washington, D.C. is not working.
00:38:53.040 Now, I'd like to.
00:38:54.520 But it's not the same thing.
00:38:56.300 I mean, one is real life and trying to get by and support your family and put food on the table.
00:39:03.760 And the other is theoretical.
00:39:05.200 We don't want a PC nation.
00:39:07.460 We don't want these politicians who lie to us.
00:39:10.720 We want a much more in your face situation where we know if Trump says he's going to do something, he'll do it.
00:39:19.180 So it's different.
00:39:20.340 But what I'm trying to get across to you is that the Gulf is so huge.
00:39:25.340 Huge.
00:39:26.300 Between Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly, Stu, people who have actually worked hard, got an education, tried very hard in the marketplace to succeed and have had actually gotten some success in a system of cap of capitalism.
00:39:44.980 No, but wait a minute.
00:39:46.120 But in a system in a system of in a system of capitalism, where, quite honestly, it was stacked against us.
00:39:53.680 I mean, I would be much more.
00:39:55.880 I don't want anybody feeling sorry for me.
00:39:57.480 No, no, no.
00:39:57.940 I'm not asking for that.
00:39:59.060 I'm not asking for that.
00:40:00.220 I'm just saying we do know what it's like to be in a.
00:40:05.300 We had to overcome.
00:40:06.540 Yes.
00:40:06.720 Yeah, I mean, not I don't use that phrase, but yes.
00:40:10.880 But there's but there's a cadre and it comes out of the university system in high schools and embraced by the media of victimization, the mob.
00:40:22.360 OK, that they tell you, you can't make it white privilege.
00:40:26.920 OK, you're never going to succeed no matter what you do.
00:40:30.520 This is the victimization movement.
00:40:32.740 And that's what you're seeing with Cynthia Nixon and Bernie Sanders.
00:40:37.900 They're they're trying to whip up this victimization that we'll we'll give stuff to you because you can't earn it no matter what you do.
00:40:48.340 Right.
00:40:48.660 It's an unfair system.
00:40:50.200 All right.
00:40:50.440 That's the gulf.
00:40:51.620 That's what we're seeing.
00:40:52.600 You wrote a you wrote an op ed today about evil.
00:40:56.740 And I want to talk to you about this because it does revolve around your book a bit.
00:41:00.060 And you're saying that it's it's you know, people historically don't stand up against evil.
00:41:09.340 And I think I think there is a chance that people stand up against evil.
00:41:15.560 But we have to be very, very careful on encouraging them to do so because we can push them into the arms of evil really easily.
00:41:24.600 And I think that's happening right now.
00:41:26.660 There are two aspects of my vantage point on evil.
00:41:30.020 And you were right.
00:41:30.980 It comes off writing Killing the SS.
00:41:33.440 And then one of the shocking things about that book is that the concentration camp guards of Nazi Germany were merchants and farmers and bankers.
00:41:42.680 And, you know, they average person.
00:41:44.480 Yeah, they were just people before the war was walking down the street and all of a sudden they're killing babies and walking away having dinner.
00:41:51.800 All right.
00:41:51.940 You need to read that.
00:41:53.000 You need to absorb it because there's evil in every human being.
00:41:56.880 Every single human being has a capacity for evil.
00:42:00.180 And you have to recognize it and you have to fight against it.
00:42:03.600 Now, externally, we're living in a country now where we have mass killings in high schools.
00:42:08.940 We have thousands of poor black people being shot in the streets in Chicago. 0.91
00:42:14.480 We have clergy molesting children. 0.96
00:42:17.460 What do you think that is?
00:42:18.800 It's evil.
00:42:19.200 That's evil.
00:42:20.660 All right.
00:42:21.140 And on a much lesser basis, but something visible.
00:42:25.100 We have betrayal of human beings by their spouses.
00:42:30.040 We have the media trying to tear people apart for ideological reasons.
00:42:35.420 We have a justice system that doesn't render justice many times.
00:42:40.340 All of this is evil.
00:42:42.200 And we're not seeing politicians say, you know what?
00:42:45.640 We got to really get the Chicago situation under control.
00:42:48.900 Have you seen anybody do that?
00:42:50.840 No.
00:42:51.120 No.
00:42:52.000 No.
00:42:52.460 And I'm sitting there going, how much evil do you have to see before you mobilize against it?
00:42:59.380 And that's why I wrote this Killing the SS, because Germany before World War II is not different than the United States in 2018.
00:43:09.300 No, it's really not.
00:43:10.040 It's the same people doing the same things, trying to struggle to make a living in an atmosphere that was increasingly difficult.
00:43:21.280 And what did they do?
00:43:22.520 They surrendered en masse to evil.
00:43:25.320 And you need to know what happened there, because it could certainly happen here, and is happening to some extent.
00:43:32.940 This Holocaust that we're seeing in Chicago, this bothers me to the core of my being. 0.99
00:43:39.540 We're letting poor blacks who are defenseless, okay, and we don't do anything about it? 1.00
00:43:47.700 Where's the National Guard? 0.97
00:43:49.680 Why aren't they on the streets of Chicago stopping the 150 shootings every weekend?
00:43:56.520 Why?
00:43:57.980 They could be there, but they're not there.
00:44:01.040 Who gives a damn about them?
00:44:02.940 No one.
00:44:04.340 That's evil.
00:44:06.580 Bill O'Reilly, it is always good to talk to you.
00:44:08.640 We'll talk to you again next week.
00:44:11.180 You can find Bill O'Reilly at BillOReilly.com, BillOReilly.com.
00:44:14.960 His new book comes out the 18th, Killing the Nazis.
00:44:19.460 The 9th of October.
00:44:20.240 Oh, the 9th.
00:44:21.540 The 9th of October.
00:44:22.320 You're going to be first in line, even though I sent you a free copy.
00:44:25.320 I read it, too.
00:44:25.980 You'll buy another one.
00:44:26.680 I read it, too.
00:44:28.000 I don't know about that, but I read it.
00:44:30.060 It's excellent.
00:44:30.660 It's excellent.
00:44:31.180 Thank you.
00:44:31.540 The 9th of October.
00:44:33.200 Bill O'Reilly, thank you so much.

00:44:41.520 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:44:44.080 If we want the government to do less, then we ourselves have to do more.
00:45:02.100 That was the founding principle of Mercury One, and that's why we have hundreds of semi-tractor
00:45:08.320 trailers that are now moving into the Carolinas.
00:45:11.220 We have volunteers.
00:45:13.220 We have people that are prepared to feed 30,000 meals a day for the next few.
00:45:20.900 We have people who are going to help clean people's houses out and take down the walls.
00:45:27.240 If you've never been in a hurricane before, you've never seen anything like it.
00:45:30.700 What happens to your home is, I mean, it just has to be literally gutted, taken down to the studs.
00:45:37.800 If it can be saved, taken down to the studs, and everything is just destroyed.
00:45:42.200 Every bit of anything you've had in that is gone, and it's sad.
00:45:50.240 It's actually really sad.
00:45:51.500 But anyway, we already have the people on the ground there, but we so need your help.
00:45:56.700 Mercury One was stretched to the limit last year, and we need you to help us out.
00:46:02.800 Even if you made a $10 reoccurring donation, $10 a month to Mercury One, it would be helpful.
00:46:11.480 But a $5 donation just for today would be helpful.
00:46:15.780 MercuryOne.org is the charity where when you donate to a specific thing, 100% of that dollar goes directly to that thing.
00:46:28.560 Please help us help others.
00:46:32.300 Do more so the government can do less.
