The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program with Professor Michael Rectenwald ｜ 9⧸19⧸18

00:00:00.080 The Blaze Radio Network, On Demand.

00:00:06.000 Hi, everybody. Welcome to the podcast. Stu is here. So good to have you. We're here in beautiful, sunny Los Angeles, California.

00:00:14.560 Never want to leave until later on.

00:00:17.260 I could stay here until maybe Thursday night. It's just, it's one of those forever places.

00:00:23.160 Anyway, today's podcast is a lot of fun. We start with the, I think the controversy that we've all been waiting to have, but it's just been so politically oppressive that we haven't been able to speak our mind and ask the question, Burt and Ernie, are they gay or what?

00:00:44.400 Vitally important to our future to sort that one out.

00:00:47.460 You would not believe the conversation on social media yesterday about Burt and Ernie. It is, we've gone insane. They're puppets made of felt. They have glue on eyes.

00:00:59.580 We also have as close to a real answer to that question as is humanly possible with felt puppets.

00:01:04.520 Yes, we do.

00:01:05.300 And that is in the podcast today.

00:01:07.000 Also, we are going to cover a little bit of Kavanaugh and, and we look at it from the eyes of Clarence Thomas and what he said when he was being confirmed in 1991.

00:01:18.400 Yes. And we'll also get into the idea of, is there a way we can look at our addiction to outrage and quantify it from the perspective of looking at how we see the other side and how we see ourselves.

00:01:32.380 Yes. And that you kind of have a section of this in the book, which is out now if you, if you want to pick it up at bookstores or Amazon.

00:01:38.640 But it is a, it's, it's, it's weird because you answer these questions and you know you're guilty of some of them.

00:01:44.720 I know, at least I was.

00:01:45.680 Yeah, I was.

00:01:46.340 I was guilty of almost all of them.

00:01:47.840 Yeah, you look at the other side and you're like, okay, well, they are definitely doing this.

00:01:51.320 Which kind of goes to a little bit more of your outrage, but we break down in today's podcast, the three different kinds of outrage or the three tactics of those who are engaged in this peddling of outrage and what it does to them.

00:02:10.000 It's fascinating.

00:02:11.260 When you hear it, you will absolutely say, oh, yep, that's true.

00:02:15.280 That's absolutely true.

00:02:16.660 All on today's podcast.

00:02:21.320 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:02:31.340 It's Wednesday, September 19th.

00:02:34.120 Glenn Beck.

00:02:36.860 Did you see Frank Oz?

00:02:38.700 Did you see what Frank Oz, what here's Frank?

00:02:41.640 He's Yoda.

00:02:43.400 Okay.

00:02:44.080 Frank Oz is Yoda.

00:02:46.480 He created the character.

00:02:48.880 He voiced the character.

00:02:51.320 He's Yoda.

00:02:54.860 He's a well-known pansexual, by the way.

00:02:57.320 Right.

00:02:59.600 He also is the creator of, you know, the eagle.

00:03:06.760 What's that eagle?

00:03:07.660 Bert the Eagle or whatever he is.

00:03:10.080 Bert and Ernie. 0.82

00:03:13.680 Animal.

00:03:14.880 I think he did Miss Piggy.

00:03:17.060 Okay.

00:03:18.140 He's been there since the beginning.

00:03:20.060 So, he writes about the writer, Saltzman.

00:03:23.340 He tweets this yesterday.

00:03:25.720 It seems Mr. Mark Saltzman was asked if Bert and Ernie are gay.

00:03:29.640 It's fine that he feels they are.

00:03:33.620 They're not, of course.

00:03:35.200 But why the question?

00:03:37.140 Does it really matter?

00:03:39.220 Why the need to define people only as gay?

00:03:43.120 There's so much more to being a human being than just straightness or gayness.

00:03:48.180 Oh, my gosh.

00:03:49.640 We have to destroy Frank Oz now.

00:03:51.880 Did you hear what he just said?

00:03:53.120 Yes.

00:03:53.580 Oh, my gosh.

00:03:55.000 Okay.

00:03:55.520 So, Tom writes in, why are they not gay?

00:03:59.700 I'm not arguing.

00:04:00.980 I'm just wondering.

00:04:03.160 Why are they not gay? 0.99

00:04:06.900 Well, there's a couple of reasons. 0.99

00:04:08.420 They're puppets, for one.

00:04:11.540 Second, because they're not.

00:04:14.400 They're just not.

00:04:16.100 I don't know.

00:04:16.700 Why are you gay? 0.99

00:04:17.940 He said, because I created Bert. 0.98

00:04:21.940 I know what and who he is.

00:04:24.780 Then somebody else chimes in.

00:04:27.080 You may have created him, but you don't seem to realize or appreciate what he meant to thousands of little boys growing up.

00:04:35.460 You digging your heels in with what seems like disgust is disappointing.

00:04:43.760 Frank writes, how odd you see my feelings as disgust. 0.96

00:04:50.420 If your feelings are being perceived as disgust, it's because you're so adamant that they're not gay. 1.00

00:04:57.820 He's the creator of them.

00:05:01.260 It's him.

00:05:02.740 He's the one.

00:05:03.600 He knows.

00:05:04.720 He created them as best friends who live together.

00:05:10.000 It's the odd couple.

00:05:11.740 Was the odd couple?

00:05:14.340 Was that a gay couple?

00:05:16.560 Do you remember the show at all?

00:05:18.060 The Neil Simon, you know, Oscar Madison and Felix Unger?

00:05:23.760 Yeah, and they just brought it back, too.

00:05:24.820 At least it was a bad insult, yeah.

00:05:27.600 So, they're not gay. 0.77

00:05:32.920 They live together.

00:05:33.820 That's what those two are reminiscent of.

00:05:39.140 Two people that don't agree that live together.

00:05:43.660 What a concept. 0.95

00:05:45.360 Maybe we should stop listening and worrying about if they were gay and let's just concentrate on, wait a minute. 1.00

00:05:52.180 They were created for what?

00:05:55.220 To show that two people who disagree with each other, who aren't like one another, can live side by side.

00:06:07.660 No, Frank, you're wrong, and I need to shut you up.

00:06:12.840 Boy, did you miss the point of Bert and Ernie.

00:06:17.980 So, he goes on.

00:06:23.380 He writes, so Ben writes and says, representation matters, Frank.

00:06:31.940 Frank says, yes, it does, when it's an honest representation.

00:06:37.500 What would you make the representation of these two characters as gay, honest?

00:06:43.060 Do we need to see them bang?

00:06:45.620 If a mother tells me her son's roommate is actually his partner, I don't say, that's not an honest representation.

00:06:54.360 Whew.

00:06:55.720 Frank says, okay, it really doesn't matter.

00:06:58.580 What matters is that people see positive views of themselves and others in Bert and Ernie.

00:07:04.520 Wait, but isn't it dishonest to call them just brothers or friends?

00:07:09.440 I thought this was about honesty.

00:07:11.840 Oh, my gosh.

00:07:13.940 It's important for characters to be explicitly declared queer, because the mainstream will quote them as straight by default.

00:07:21.940 Agreed.

00:07:23.140 Frank writes, when a character is created to be queer.

00:07:27.680 It is important that the character be known as such.

00:07:32.240 It's also important when a character who was not created queer to be accepted as such.

00:07:40.540 Oh, my gosh.

00:07:41.980 I, I, I, I want out.

00:07:45.840 I want out.

00:07:46.720 I want out.

00:07:47.360 I want out.

00:07:47.980 I want out.

00:07:48.500 I want out.

00:07:49.360 Okay, so here's the thing.

00:07:50.400 So I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, you know, just writing down some thoughts.

00:07:56.760 And I think about all of the joy that Sesame Street has brought all of us and brought me in particular.

00:08:03.600 I used to love watching the Muppets.

00:08:06.080 Sometimes I still do.

00:08:07.860 Uh, and I started thinking about all of the joy of Frank Oz.

00:08:13.800 And then I started to think of, uh, you know, uh, Jim Henson.

00:08:17.860 And then I remembered, you know, Kermit the Frog.

00:08:20.920 And I, I was like, oh, man, I, I love Kermit the Frog.

00:08:25.100 He is, he is so great.

00:08:27.820 Right.

00:08:28.300 And then I started thinking about the Rainbow Connection.

00:08:34.240 And I, I wanted to look, I wanted to play the song and, and listen to the words.

00:08:42.480 Why are there so many songs about rainbows and what's on the other side?

00:08:47.200 Because rainbows are vision, but only illusions.

00:08:50.600 And rainbows have nothing to hide.

00:08:52.840 Illusions.

00:08:54.940 And rainbows have nothing to hide.

00:08:58.300 Right.

00:09:00.200 So we've been told.

00:09:02.980 And some choose to believe it.

00:09:06.680 But I know they're wrong.

00:09:09.700 Just wait and see.

00:09:12.720 Someday we'll find it.

00:09:14.820 The Rainbow Connection.

00:09:16.860 The lovers.

00:09:18.660 The dreamers.

00:09:20.080 And me.

00:09:22.160 Okay.

00:09:23.060 Okay, so, all right.

00:09:24.160 Okay, so, all right.

00:09:25.520 That made me happy.

00:09:26.700 And I thought, oh, there's, there's kind of a lesson to be learned there.

00:09:29.640 I should have stopped there.

00:09:31.320 I should have stopped there.

00:09:32.920 But instead, because I have iTunes music, I noticed that there's other people who have

00:09:39.840 sung the Rainbow Connection.

00:09:41.920 For instance.

00:09:43.120 Other people.

00:09:43.660 You mean the first person?

00:09:44.560 The first one was a frog, right?

00:09:46.100 So this would be the first.

00:09:47.280 These would be.

00:09:47.840 No.

00:09:48.600 I mean, if you want to be technical.

00:09:50.160 It was a puppet.

00:09:52.740 And it was Jim Henson that sang the song.

00:09:55.260 That seems like.

00:09:56.380 And then I thought, oh, this might be nice to hear.

00:09:58.600 I didn't know.

00:10:00.100 Sarah McLachlan did it.

00:10:01.540 It doesn't even sound like her, does it?

00:10:09.880 No.

00:10:11.860 And I'm thinking to myself, okay, that's not good.

00:10:14.780 Gwen Stefani did a, a Rainbow Connection as, as well.

00:10:21.700 And she kind of sounds a little something like this.

00:10:24.540 Why are there so many songs about rainbows?

00:10:30.800 And what's on the other side?

00:10:34.980 Okay.

00:10:35.700 I thought, no, no, I can't handle it.

00:10:37.860 Oh, wait a minute.

00:10:39.020 Oh, the Carpenters did a.

00:10:45.700 Hmm.

00:10:47.900 Oh, my gosh.

00:10:51.740 Oh, boy.

00:10:52.440 Why are there so many songs about rainbows?

00:10:54.540 Why are there so many songs about rainbows?

00:10:55.540 Come on.

00:10:56.460 Okay.

00:10:56.860 How about Kenny Loggins did, uh, Rainbow Connection?

00:11:05.580 Um, you go to Kenny Loggins.

00:11:08.160 You can go to, uh, uh, Ben Martin.

00:11:12.360 You can go.

00:11:13.360 Here's my.

00:11:14.020 No, this is.

00:11:14.700 We don't need any more versions of this song.

00:11:16.620 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:11:18.920 You need this one.

00:11:20.220 This is.

00:11:21.240 This one's just.

00:11:22.420 Why are there so many songs about rainbows?

00:11:27.420 Willie Nelson.

00:11:28.580 Okay.

00:11:29.260 So, I just, I just, I just, I just want you to know, there are many things to be outraged

00:11:34.940 by.

00:11:35.580 Many things to be outraged by. 0.85

00:11:37.800 You could be outraged that they are straight instead of gay.

00:11:43.040 But then, there are real reasons to be outraged. 0.76

00:11:49.500 The Rainbow Connection should only be sung in the voice of Kermit the Frog.

00:11:54.160 Period.

00:11:55.320 No one else should do it.

00:11:57.520 And I am taking a very hard stand on that.

00:12:01.040 So that's a legitimate outrage.

00:12:02.540 Because.

00:12:02.680 That one is legitimate.

00:12:03.720 You talk about in the book that there are some things that you should be outraged about.

00:12:06.660 Yes.

00:12:06.920 And you're identifying.

00:12:08.360 Yes.

00:12:08.960 Forget about the Supreme Court.

00:12:10.520 Okay.

00:12:10.920 Forget about, forget about the Supreme Court.

00:12:12.940 Forget about what that means for justice for our children going forward.

00:12:18.100 Forget about that.

00:12:19.540 And Bert and Ernie being gay?

00:12:21.020 No.

00:12:22.200 The outrage that we should be concentrating on is the Rainbow Connection. 1.00

00:12:28.160 There's only one version.

00:12:29.460 And there should always remain only one version.

00:12:32.940 The best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:12:44.220 We are doing a Glenn Beck podcast this weekend.

00:12:48.660 It's an extra.

00:12:49.740 If you subscribe to the Glenn Beck Radio Show and the podcast on iTunes or wherever you listen to podcasts on the weekend.

00:12:57.700 And in fact, this weekend or next weekend, you're going to be getting two of these.

00:13:01.380 You get an extra show.

00:13:02.560 So on Saturday, you will receive the Glenn Beck podcast, which this week is an interview with a guy that most people have not heard of.

00:13:11.400 And I think he is fascinating.

00:13:13.120 I brought him in because I wasn't sure who he was.

00:13:16.880 I started reading his book, Springtime for Snowflakes.

00:13:21.220 And he was a, he's a former, what he describes as a libertarian communist in the interview.

00:13:28.900 I asked him, what the hell, how does that work?

00:13:32.240 And he had a really quite interesting answer.

00:13:36.060 But he has worked in the university system his whole life.

00:13:39.240 And he has been part of deconstruction.

00:13:41.620 And he knows the postmodern movement inside and out.

00:13:44.740 He has been part of the radical Marxist left until recently.

00:13:52.460 And he talks a little bit about what happened to him and why he woke up.

00:13:59.580 Let me give you cut one here.

00:14:00.960 He begins to wake up.

00:14:02.460 Yeah, it was a Twitter.

00:14:05.100 It was, I'm sorry, it was a Facebook post that I made.

00:14:07.480 It was a joke.

00:14:08.800 There was a student at the University of Michigan who posted, when asked by the university or given the right to use any pronoun he wanted and to enter it into the system under his profile, chose, quote, his majesty.

00:14:24.460 I thought it was hilarious.

00:14:27.160 And so I posted, I simply posted a link to that article, having, you know, thousands of leftist friends, a lot of trans friends at that time.

00:14:36.080 And the vitriol, the outrage, the hysteria was just unbelievable.

00:14:43.020 Why?

00:14:43.420 They called me everything from a transphobe to a, to committing discursive violence.

00:14:49.660 I love that phrase.

00:14:50.500 I will explain later.

00:14:51.860 Yes, please.

00:14:52.460 And of treason, you know, on and on and on, just for posting a link to an article with no comment.

00:15:00.300 And I said, this is, this is unbelievable.

00:15:02.900 And then I realized that everybody was, everybody was kowtowing to this kind of ideological pressure.

00:15:09.360 Everybody I knew, they were all careful not to say something that would offend this crowd, this trans crowd and this social justice crowd.

00:15:17.920 And they were scary.

00:15:18.980 So he goes on then to start his, his own Twitter handle.

00:15:25.800 And it was, what was it?

00:15:27.740 A deplorable NYU professor.

00:15:30.420 Now here's a guy who is a published communist.

00:15:34.520 He has written white papers, widely distributed for communists.

00:15:42.180 He's respected by the left and everybody else.

00:15:45.960 He decides, okay, this is getting out of hand.

00:15:49.280 And he decides to start writing Twitter posts.

00:15:52.960 Here's what happened next.

00:15:54.160 I had a NYU student newspaper reporter contact me and said, you know, these tweets are really something else.

00:16:01.760 Are you really an NYU professor?

00:16:03.540 This was through a direct message.

00:16:04.880 And I said, yes.

00:16:06.020 And so she asked me if I would sit down for an interview.

00:16:08.320 And I said, yes.

00:16:09.240 I wasn't sure I would go on the record, but I would talk to her.

00:16:11.940 So we did that.

00:16:13.080 And after I was done talking to her, I said, there's really nothing, what I've said here needs to be said.

00:16:18.540 And I actually want to put my name on it, frankly, because I think it's, there's, there's nothing objectionable into some, you know, there's nothing fundamentally abhorrent or deplorable about it.

00:16:30.180 And it's just, it's just another viewpoint and it's a vantage point I think needs to be aired.

00:16:35.920 And that, that went in the paper.

00:16:39.120 She took a picture of me laughing and that made the heresy, you know, somewhat doubled.

00:16:45.900 And then all hell broke loose within my university.

00:16:50.200 You were called in the middle of a class, were you not?

00:16:52.180 I was called out in the middle of the class by the dean and said, you know, can you come over to see me?

00:16:56.680 And he, and I said, sure, I've got, I had an idea what it was about.

00:17:01.000 Although I was saying that this really is happening.

00:17:02.980 I'm being called in for my political views.

00:17:05.680 And so I go over and he comes up really close to me, but pulls me into the office, I come into the office.

00:17:12.200 He pulls me real close with by a handshake, you know, Michael, I want you to know, this has nothing to do with your Twitter account or of the publicity you're getting.

00:17:21.120 I said, oh, and sure, sure.

00:17:24.380 And then he said, just after that, hang on before this.

00:17:27.560 Yeah.

00:17:27.780 You are a well-liked professor.

00:17:30.800 Well-liked.

00:17:31.660 You're, I was well-liked.

00:17:33.220 Students love me.

00:17:34.240 My student, you know, evaluations are very high.

00:17:37.120 I mean, I have done everything you're supposed to do.

00:17:40.260 And you were liked by your peers up until most of my colleagues like me.

00:17:43.680 Okay.

00:17:43.960 All right.

00:17:44.180 There was a few that didn't.

00:17:45.240 That's fine.

00:17:45.580 It's always going to happen.

00:17:46.580 And I had done everything that an academic is supposed to do.

00:17:50.020 Published widely, committee work, all that stuff.

00:17:53.320 I was a good citizen.

00:17:55.500 Okay.

00:17:56.360 I said the wrong thing.

00:17:58.060 Right.

00:17:58.580 Right.

00:18:00.480 And then he said, no, have a seat.

00:18:03.780 And if you don't mind, I would like the head of human resources to join us.

00:18:08.300 Uh-oh.

00:18:08.600 Well, but this has nothing to do with what you, we just need to have a talk.

00:18:16.060 Turns out that his, um, he is presented with a choice.

00:18:22.240 We're very concerned about you.

00:18:24.160 We think these tweets, and this has nothing to do with the tweets, but we think these tweets

00:18:29.000 are a cry for help.

00:18:29.980 And your coworkers are beginning to be concerned about your mental health.

00:18:36.120 So we could either deal with this publicly and fire you, or you could just take a medical

00:18:44.300 leave of absence.

00:18:46.540 So basically agree with them that he's going crazy.

00:18:52.220 Here he is on why it was important to talk about this.

00:19:00.020 Cut three.

00:19:00.760 I said this from the beginning, uh, when Trump, uh, got into office or before he got into

00:19:07.800 office, even, oh, I guess it was after when they, we found that the resistance, I said

00:19:12.140 the resistance would be far worse than Trump.

00:19:14.680 And I think that's been the case.

00:19:16.440 I mean, the resistance is really unhinged and it's, it's fueled by all kinds of, uh, ideological

00:19:24.160 error, I think.

00:19:25.620 And it's fueled by a conviction, an absolute conviction of total moral certainty.

00:19:30.260 And that's what's scary.

00:19:31.920 When people believe they're absolutely morally superior and certain than, and they're absolutely

00:19:37.760 right, they become like Antifa.

00:19:40.840 Well, it is why totalitarianism always ends in massive death.

00:19:47.660 Bloodshed.

00:19:48.240 Because if, if you get to a point, I've asked this question from the left and the right.

00:19:53.180 Yeah.

00:19:53.700 Just let's imagine tomorrow you have your way and everybody you've elected is in and

00:20:00.040 every, all of it, you still have 50% of the country that doesn't agree with you.

00:20:04.360 That's right.

00:20:04.600 What are you going to do with them?

00:20:05.640 Well, even, you know, this is most Marxists want to admit this, but Marx himself said, 0.99

00:20:09.740 you have to kill them. 0.97

00:20:11.540 Uh, there has to be a terror. 0.99

00:20:12.900 And they got this idea of the terror from, of course, the French revolution and the aftermath.

00:20:18.460 Uh, you know, they said that there, that is the model after a revolution, you must go

00:20:24.120 on a terror spree.

00:20:25.100 You must get rid of ideological opponents and you must get rid of the bourgeoisie if they

00:20:29.920 cling to their bourgeoisie character.

00:20:32.260 Otherwise, you know, if they're willing to convert, then fine.

00:20:35.320 But, uh, people are killed for having the wrong thoughts.

00:20:38.880 It's that's, that's basically what it comes down to.

00:20:41.500 Now, this is a guy who claimed just a few years ago to be a communist.

00:20:49.300 And in you, you will understand it in this conversation that we, we have with him this

00:20:55.220 weekend, his communism was more theoretical.

00:21:01.420 I think it was more, you know, next time we can do it right.

00:21:07.260 You know, that's what you always hear.

00:21:09.000 Well, they did it wrong.

00:21:10.260 Next time we'll do it right.

00:21:12.580 But it was, so it was theoretical.

00:21:14.420 He believes in, you know, sharing and all of the stuff, the utopian stuff.

00:21:19.980 That's all good.

00:21:21.060 It's all good.

00:21:22.740 But when he started to see how people are being shut down, how you're being isolated,

00:21:28.900 how you're being chased out of the square, how you're being fired, what names you're being

00:21:35.060 called, he realized they're going to kill.

00:21:39.360 This is the way communism always begins.

00:21:43.180 It starts nice and then it goes wrong.

00:21:46.580 And he started to see the very first, uh, signs of this going wrong.

00:21:52.640 It's, it's no longer, uh, Hey, you know, we should be nice to each other.

00:21:57.520 We shouldn't, we should say handicapable instead of a handicap because it makes people feel good.

00:22:02.800 Now it is shove.

00:22:05.420 And the next step is shoot.

00:22:07.840 If you don't do it, they're going to, they're shoving people. 0.99

00:22:10.660 Now you will do this and we'll shove you into that position. 0.92

00:22:18.340 And if not, we'll banish you from society. 0.99

00:22:22.080 Well, the only thing left after that is shoot. 0.99

00:22:25.780 And he saw that happening.

00:22:28.400 And I asked him, you know, these are all intelligent people.

00:22:33.820 How do these intelligent people start using these postmodern tactics?

00:22:39.200 Here's what he told me.

00:22:40.660 One of the main things that has been inaugurated by the left is cultural relativism and cultural

00:22:47.480 relativism also brings with it a more relativism.

00:22:50.780 But the main thing about cultural relativism is that you can't, from your, from your culture,

00:22:56.340 you're not allowed to criticize people of another culture because you're in, you're,

00:23:01.060 you're suggesting that your culture is better than theirs.

00:23:04.200 And that's.

00:23:05.200 So when I meet, and this actually happened, I met, I asked for a meeting with people of GLAAD.

00:23:10.340 This is when the height of Ahmadinejad throwing people off the building, you know, 0.98

00:23:17.300 gay people off, torturing them, killing them. 1.00

00:23:20.140 Russia is starting to take driver's license away and, and absconding people at night. 1.00

00:23:25.000 And they're never seen again because they're homosexual. 0.99

00:23:26.580 You can say, well, their culture is different, so I can't comment. 0.75

00:23:31.700 Yeah.

00:23:31.880 But we all know.

00:23:33.880 Yeah. 0.99

00:23:34.500 Killing is someone because they're homosexual is a no go zone. 0.99

00:23:39.480 Yeah. 0.99

00:23:39.700 How come they, they won't make that step?

00:23:43.900 Well, there's another aspect to it.

00:23:45.480 Not just the relativism.

00:23:46.540 And the other thing is the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

00:23:50.220 And you're there, you, they are the enemy of, you know, Western civilization.

00:23:56.040 Yeah.

00:23:56.380 All right.

00:23:56.720 So intersectionality is how many times that's why.

00:24:00.500 Basically how many, yeah.

00:24:01.420 How many power vectors are intersecting you and subordinating you?

00:24:04.900 And does that give you the hierarchy?

00:24:06.760 Once you have more vectors, the lower you are, the higher you are.

00:24:10.480 Right.

00:24:10.540 This is why there's a race to the bottom in the oppression Olympics, as it's called, rather derogatorily.

00:24:16.080 You want to rush to the bottom because when, by the time you get there, you're going to be on top.

00:24:22.820 This is a fascinating conversation.

00:24:26.060 And it is part of the message of the book that came out yesterday, Addicted to Outrage.

00:24:35.660 It is, this is a, an in-depth explanation of some, by somebody who has lived it and taught it.

00:24:45.760 And it's what gives me hope that things can change because a guy who was a published communist can come out and say, okay, wait a minute, wait a minute.

00:24:57.260 This is going off the rails right now.

00:24:59.440 And they are doing everything they can to destroy this guy.

00:25:02.820 You need to hear his voice.

00:25:06.140 You need to hear what he, what he can teach us because there's so much of this postmodern nonsense that our kids know.

00:25:16.240 If you send your kid to college and they're coming home, they're coming home with a different language. 0.99

00:25:21.800 They're coming home with, with ways and knowledge and a mission to deconstruct everything.

00:25:30.580 And if you can't speak that language, if you don't know what those words are or mean, everything changes.

00:25:38.460 You now look outdated.

00:25:40.400 You now look like old mom and dad that just don't get it.

00:25:43.820 And more importantly, I think we have to address this with our kids before we send them even to high school because it's all being taught.

00:25:55.940 And they need to be aware of it and have the ammunition to fight against it before they encounter it.

00:26:02.500 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:26:32.860 I love Home Title Lock.

00:26:33.840 This is one of those things that I'm telling you about a product in a commercial that I learned about in a commercial and from somebody else.

00:26:40.740 Yeah, they ran this a while ago.

00:26:42.300 I was like, oh, my God, like I started looking into it and you realize it like the FBI is saying this is like one of the fastest growing crimes in America.

00:26:48.080 This is the scariest thing.

00:26:49.480 It is.

00:26:49.880 Because it's it's if you don't know it, it destroys your life.

00:26:54.240 And the longer you wait, the harder it is.

00:26:56.940 And there's really, truly only one group of people that I think have the ability to stop it because they are the repository of all of the titles for all of the homes in America are like 98 percent of them.

00:27:11.660 Yeah.

00:27:11.860 So they know they can check it immediately.

00:27:27.900 OK, this is the point where the Brett Kavanaugh saga becomes absolutely toxic.

00:27:34.460 The Kavanaugh situation couldn't be any more flammable as it is.

00:27:38.160 Yet Senator Dianne Feinstein pulls out a flamethrower. 0.99

00:27:41.600 Hey, everybody, look what I just got from Elon Musk.

00:27:45.040 It is the favorite playground of outraged junkies. 1.00

00:27:50.140 She says Republicans are trying to block an FBI investigation into the allegation of the California college professor, Christine Ford, that Kavanaugh has been accused of sexually assaulting at a high school party in 1982.

00:28:04.320 Remember, her deal is we are trying to block an FBI investigation now.

00:28:11.280 Now, as a 126 year veteran of the U.S.

00:28:15.100 Senate, you would think that Feinstein would know the kinds of things that the FBI can investigate.

00:28:23.260 But apparently you'd be wrong.

00:28:25.540 Apparently, she and many of her fellow Democrats don't know. 0.87

00:28:31.220 Perhaps they forgot or they have such little respect for the American people that they think you just don't know because you're just a bunch of hayseed hicks.

00:28:45.280 They just don't know what the FBI does.

00:28:47.640 You hear FBI and you're like, oh, they investigate everything.

00:28:50.360 Listen, the feds do not.

00:28:53.720 They're not in the habit of looking into suburban high school parties that happened in the 1980s.

00:29:01.900 Really?

00:29:02.800 Wait a minute, Cletus.

00:29:04.440 What?

00:29:04.880 To explain to America's lawmakers what the FBI does, the Justice Department had to issue a statement.

00:29:14.340 It says, the FBI does not make any judgment about the credibility or significance of any allegation.

00:29:21.960 The purpose of a background investigation is to determine whether the nominee could pose a risk to the national security of the United States.

00:29:31.560 This allegation does not involve any potential federal crime.

00:29:37.360 So the Democrats were hoping for this epic, you know, Mueller-length investigation.

00:29:43.520 Risky business gate.

00:29:46.860 Spartacus will appear.

00:29:50.260 Unfortunately, they have to settle now for some testimony from Kavanaugh and Ford, which is scheduled for Monday.

00:29:56.740 That is, if Christine Ford even agrees to show up.

00:30:00.460 Late yesterday, her lawyer submitted a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee requesting that law enforcement do a full investigation before anyone testifies.

00:30:10.800 Oh, so we could delay some more.

00:30:13.120 Democrats turned Kavanaugh's Senate Judiciary Committee hearing into an embarrassing circus of sad clown activists. 0.67

00:30:21.360 Imagine what they might have up their sleeve or on their nose on Monday's testimony.

00:30:27.720 The left is already billing this as a sequel to the 1991 Anita Hill-Clarence Thomas fiasco.

00:30:35.240 Anita Hill herself wrote in the New York Times yesterday that the committee has a chance to do better by the country than it did three decades ago.

00:30:45.120 You've got to be kidding me.

00:30:46.960 Does anybody even know the Clarence Thomas-Anita Hill story anymore?

00:30:51.140 Apparently not.

00:30:52.160 But here's the good news.

00:30:56.300 If there's one thing we've learned from Hollywood, it's that sequels made 30 years after the original usually really suck.

00:31:04.100 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to thank you for listening.

00:31:12.740 So I don't know if you've seen, but while Maduro, the president of Venezuela, was having dinner the other day, he solved the economic problems of Venezuela.

00:31:37.540 Now, he was out having a steak.

00:31:40.480 This steak...

00:31:40.740 It's all good for him.

00:31:41.320 Yeah, this steak cost him $235.

00:31:46.680 Now, that's not because of inflation.

00:31:50.320 Those are American dollars.

00:31:52.660 He paid $234 American dollars for a steak for him in a restaurant.

00:32:00.800 I think I know what you're saying.

00:32:02.480 You're saying good for him.

00:32:04.240 Take a moment after your incredible leadership and rise from a normal, everyday bus driver to these heights of leading this incredible, glorious socialist revolution.

00:32:16.180 Reward yourself.

00:32:17.140 People are literally eating doctors, lawyers, eating...

00:32:22.180 Wait, they're eating doctors and lawyers?

00:32:23.260 No, doctors and lawyers.

00:32:25.600 People who are very successful and wealthy are having one meal a day, and many people are eating cats, dogs.

00:32:34.260 They've already eaten the animals in the zoo, and they're down to now rats that the people are eating.

00:32:39.720 Huge amounts of people have left as well, millions.

00:32:43.920 Many of them doctors and lawyers in going to other islands and becoming sex workers, right?

00:32:50.420 Hundreds of thousands, by the way, have come to the United States in this process as well.

00:32:54.820 Hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans escaping that regime have come here.

00:32:59.960 And they've gone all over the hemisphere, really.

00:33:04.740 And it's terrifying.

00:33:06.360 And it's so amazing to look at how far we've come so fast.

00:33:10.960 It is not that long ago that people like Sean Penn were visiting and praising, you know, Hugo Chavez, Danny Glover, you know, Michael Moore.

00:33:20.900 These people who were telling us that this was the future and that this, our experiment was failing compared to theirs.

00:33:31.840 And it was a very common conception.

00:33:34.100 I think we have a montage.

00:33:35.400 This one came from Mike, Sarah, I think, audio montage about some of the comments from Venezuela from a few years back.

00:33:41.480 Listen to some of these.

00:33:43.280 Venezuelans head to the polls this Sunday, and President Hugo Chavez is almost certain to win re-election.

00:33:48.120 He's apparently as popular at home as he is unpopular with so many people in this country.

00:33:53.700 He's made Venezuelans feel proud to be Venezuelan again.

00:33:57.800 And that is something I think that really no other leader has ever done in that country before.

00:34:04.320 In fact, they were doing the opposite.

00:34:06.040 Here we go in Venezuela.

00:34:07.120 In 2002, we were much, if we had succeeded in Iraq, I do believe that Mr. Chavez would have been under even more pressure.

00:34:14.060 It's the most colorful media.

00:34:15.860 You can say anything you want in Venezuela.

00:34:19.040 They have a better election process than we have.

00:34:21.020 Juan Fugo Chavez is a thorn in the side of the U.S., but polls in Venezuela show that that's going to continue.

00:34:28.120 He is one of the most important forces we've had on this planet.

00:34:32.180 And I will wish him nothing but that great strength he has shown over and over again.

00:34:39.960 I do it in love, and I do it in gratitude.

00:34:42.960 My friend, President Chavez.

00:34:44.940 Made headlines when he stood before the United Nations and told President Bush the devil.

00:34:50.000 I didn't plan to call him a devil, but it came from my heart.

00:34:56.780 And if it comes from my heart, then that's because for me, it's true.

00:35:00.800 Well, no one else is Hugo Chavez.

00:35:02.840 There's not two Hugo Chavez's in the world, never mind in Venezuela.

00:35:06.060 You remember how much they loved that whole devil thing?

00:35:12.760 They loved that.

00:35:14.220 They loved that Bush smelled of sulfur.

00:35:17.180 Remember this?

00:35:18.220 And people were making trips down there and praising this regime and the system behind it.

00:35:24.900 That was only 10 years ago or less.

00:35:27.940 Some of those quotes were even more recent than that.

00:35:30.300 In fact, if you go back and you look at popular culture, you will see, as we will show you here, in the show Parks and Recreation, there was a whole episode that was building the economy of Venezuela up and denigrating us.

00:35:50.860 The concept was, and it's a funny show, and it was a funny episode, but the concept was the Parks and Rec Department had the Parks and Rec Department from Venezuela, their sister city.

00:35:59.240 Some city in Venezuela, come visit them.

00:36:01.440 And, you know, it was just one of these dumb government things. 0.94

00:36:05.260 And it was interesting to see, because you saw the streams they went down with the comedy. 0.97

00:36:10.260 They were militaristic.

00:36:11.160 They were chauvinistic.

00:36:12.400 They were, you know, dismissive.

00:36:14.800 But one of the big threads was how great it was in Venezuela as compared to the United States.

00:36:20.400 They couldn't believe how bad it was in the United States because Venezuela was so good.

00:36:24.860 Listen to this.

00:36:25.520 This is only from a few years ago.

00:36:26.980 So, this is, let's start with Venezuela doesn't have budget issues.

00:36:32.880 Now, think of the state of affairs down there right now.

00:36:36.620 This is how this was being portrayed to the American public just a few years ago.

00:36:39.840 Listen.

00:36:40.520 I'm trying to turn a giant dirt pit into a community park, but I need $35,000.

00:36:46.200 The city doesn't have enough money in its budget.

00:36:48.920 I do not understand.

00:36:50.680 You've never had a budget shortage?

00:36:51.740 That was a Marxist philosophy.

00:36:59.120 Venezuela is blessed with massive oil reserves.

00:37:01.660 Massive.

00:37:02.200 True.

00:37:02.380 Tremendous.

00:37:02.960 I do not believe.

00:37:04.620 The state sells the oil and keeps all the money and we build whatever we want.

00:37:10.920 Wow.

00:37:11.640 Well, now I do not understand.

00:37:14.760 I feel like my English was very clear.

00:37:21.500 Can I repeat?

00:37:22.620 Venezuela, Venezuela, my country, has a lot of oil.

00:37:27.040 Oil is food for cars.

00:37:28.940 The Venezuelans are very confident people.

00:37:30.720 So, again, they've never faced a budget crisis.

00:37:34.980 They don't even understand it.

00:37:36.560 Remember, Venezuela, when we were going through a heating oil crisis, Venezuela, through the

00:37:45.160 Kennedys, if you remember right, were giving the United States free oil for poor communities

00:37:55.000 in the Northeast, and it was all from Sitco.

00:37:58.780 Kennedy was doing commercials for the Venezuelan government, basically.

00:38:04.620 Propaganda to say how much they were helping us.

00:38:08.660 Here's another clip from Parks and Rec.

00:38:10.480 This is when the delegate comes after their town called Pawnee.

00:38:14.520 We are also sister cities with Kaesong, North Korea.

00:38:18.540 Their town is far nicer.

00:38:20.340 We haven't been here for a very long time, but what we have seen is really, from the bottom

00:38:23.940 of our hearts, truly depressing.

00:38:26.380 Really, really sad stuff.

00:38:27.760 It's funny because Antonio said to me, can we turn this car around and say we're sick

00:38:32.480 or something, or that we lost our way?

00:38:34.080 Of course, that would be rude to you.

00:38:38.040 All right, and this is, they actually go to visit the park.

00:38:41.000 Now, the concept of the show at the beginning is there's this big pit, dirt pit, and she 0.96

00:38:44.640 wants to turn it into a park.

00:38:45.940 So, she brings the Venezuelan delegation.

00:38:49.600 Not to the dirt pit.

00:38:50.740 Right.

00:38:51.180 But to a very nice park in America.

00:38:53.340 Here's that clip.

00:38:54.500 Here we are.

00:38:55.480 Take it in, boys.

00:38:56.960 This is an embarrassment to America.

00:38:58.700 I'm sorry?

00:38:59.300 You are right to want to correct this.

00:39:01.380 Correct what?

00:39:02.180 This is the giant pea of dirt you were telling us about, is it, no?

00:39:05.660 The one you want to turn into a park?

00:39:08.000 No, no.

00:39:09.560 This is already a park, and it's one of our best-loved parks.

00:39:12.960 Why are the trees so small?

00:39:15.380 They're not that small.

00:39:17.280 Besides, size doesn't matter.

00:39:19.460 Yes, it does.

00:39:21.000 Our trees are huge.

00:39:21.880 We build tunnels through them.

00:39:23.980 The parks in Baraco are far superior.

00:39:27.440 The park in my hometown, Parque del Este, we have a monorail, and we have an aquarium.

00:39:33.480 The Haripa Amphitheater is huge.

00:39:35.780 Lady Gaga played there last week.

00:39:37.520 Great.

00:39:37.800 Well, we don't have Lady Gaga, and I don't think she's going to come here unless her career takes a very bad turn. 0.98

00:39:44.420 But we have something more beautiful than Lady Gaga.

00:39:47.360 Democracy.

00:39:47.840 Right.

00:39:50.440 Right.

00:39:50.960 But let's make sure that everyone knows that the Marxism and the utopia, the socialist utopia that is Venezuela, is thriving while we are not.

00:40:05.580 Until they're not.

00:40:07.900 Just a few short years later, and no one is being held accountable for their shower of praise for Hugo Chavez and the plan of bringing Venezuela into the leadership of the world.

00:40:28.160 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:40:33.220 Where did all of this outrage come from?

00:40:49.460 Because it's truly a brilliant system that has flipped this thing upside down and made the conservatives look like the angry ones.

00:41:01.400 That we're the ones that have started this outrage.

00:41:06.360 No, no, no, we're not.

00:41:09.680 Because you have to look at what kind of outrage people are expressing every day.

00:41:15.980 Just on today's program, we have talked about how many different stories, Stu, that are not outrageous. 0.61

00:41:24.180 Beginning with Bert and Ernie are gay.

00:41:28.140 And Frank Oz, the guy who designed and created Bert and Ernie, saying, no, they're not.

00:41:36.040 They're just good friends.

00:41:37.220 They are two people that I put together, that I made out of felt, I want to remind you, that are like the odd couple.

00:41:46.100 They're two people that don't agree, but it teaches kids that we can live together side by side.

00:41:52.140 Well, that's not good enough.

00:41:54.180 People were outraged yesterday when he said this. 1.00

00:41:57.120 They must be gay. 1.00

00:42:00.860 Wow. 1.00

00:42:02.420 That seems pretty worthless. 0.98

00:42:04.980 They're puppets.

00:42:07.580 Is that real outrage?

00:42:10.040 Is that coming from the left or from the right?

00:42:13.800 Well, that's coming from the left, right?

00:42:15.520 The outrage is coming from the left.

00:42:16.960 And so how do we respond?

00:42:21.200 Usually either laughing very hard at them or, you know, getting a little angry at the way the world is turning into insanity.

00:42:30.920 Okay.

00:42:32.200 How effective has been laughing at them?

00:42:36.040 How effective has that been?

00:42:37.280 It feels good.

00:42:38.300 Feels good.

00:42:38.900 How effective has it been?

00:42:40.300 It doesn't change a lot of minds.

00:42:42.120 No, it doesn't change anything.

00:42:43.660 In fact, they don't care.

00:42:45.280 They don't care. 0.93

00:42:45.840 We, by us dismissing this and saying, you know, it's just a bunch of few crazies.

00:42:52.120 Look at how a few crazies have changed the world. 1.00

00:42:55.240 We just laugh and say they're pathetic. 1.00

00:42:57.200 They're ridiculous. 1.00

00:42:57.940 There's just a few of them. 1.00

00:42:59.060 And there are just a few of them.

00:43:01.540 This is just a very powerful group of people, but it's very small.

00:43:06.360 We laughed at them.

00:43:07.600 We dismissed them and look where we are now.

00:43:10.460 So now we've been pushed to the wall and we get angry.

00:43:13.880 But let's look at outrage here for a second.

00:43:17.240 And this is part of the book that was released yesterday.

00:43:20.360 I urge you to pick it up for you and a friend addicted to outrage.

00:43:23.940 Let's just look at the three different or four different kinds of outrage.

00:43:29.860 There are actually three.

00:43:31.040 It leads to the fourth.

00:43:32.560 Outrage that signals virtue.

00:43:38.840 This is chapter three.

00:43:40.100 One of the most effective ways to demonstrate one's own social value is by wearing the trappings of outrage on behalf of others, especially if the others are in a minority social group.

00:43:51.060 The earlier you are and the more loudly you demonstrate that you're outraged, that some or another group has been wronged, the more virtue you demonstrate.

00:44:01.540 Got it?

00:44:04.220 If you want to build yourself up, if you want to be popular, all you have to do is signal virtue.

00:44:13.640 And that requires you to be the leader and the most loud voice in the room.

00:44:24.360 Next, outrage as a shield. 0.98

00:44:32.140 Another reason why it's effective is because it acts as a shield from judgment.

00:44:39.100 If you are morally outraged, it functions as a mechanism to protect the purveyors of the outrage against any evaluation of their own actions, tactics, honesty, or morality.

00:44:55.320 Now, think of this.

00:44:58.080 Use Brett Kavanaugh.

00:45:00.120 Now, the people who are outraged that the Republicans could just go on and dismiss this woman, they are so outraged that Brett Kavanaugh might or might not have done this, it stops any charges of saying, wait a minute, this is immoral what you're doing.

00:45:27.640 Don't you talk to me about morality.

00:45:30.120 I don't see you standing up for the woman. 1.00

00:45:32.840 Right?

00:45:33.880 So it acts as a shield.

00:45:36.380 If you are outraged, the outrage excuses you from having to tell the truth or exhibiting any moral behavior.

00:45:45.460 It just opens up the runway.

00:45:50.320 Next, outrage as a weapon.

00:45:53.180 Outrage is also an exceptional weapon that can pierce the armor of nearly any foe.

00:45:57.960 It's like a bow with three magically tipped arrows.

00:46:01.760 Shame, guilt, and fear.

00:46:04.140 Moral outrage expressed against opponents can strike them with any one or all three of these instruments at any given time.

00:46:12.200 The instant that someone outside of your tribe slips up, says or does something that you think has the slightest chance to work to your advantage, if you can paint them as insensitive, racist, politically incorrect, outdated, judgmental, insulting to a protected class or group,

00:46:32.400 that person has opened up the opportunity to attack with a weapon that they cannot possibly resist.

00:46:39.120 So, look at this again.

00:46:41.680 What happened?

00:46:43.180 Signaling virtue.

00:46:45.060 Outrage one.

00:46:47.480 I cannot believe.

00:46:49.580 I cannot believe.

00:46:50.860 Brett Kavanaugh wants to take away birth control. 1.00

00:46:54.760 And he's a guy who has raped a woman. 1.00

00:46:58.100 And if you don't see this, you are a bad human being. 1.00

00:47:04.880 Wait a minute. 0.95

00:47:05.460 Wait a minute.

00:47:05.980 He's not going to take away birth control.

00:47:08.060 Are you telling me that you're supporting the guy who you have no sympathy for this woman who has come to the table?

00:47:16.840 You have no sympathy.

00:47:18.360 You are so hard hearted that you can't see her plight.

00:47:22.960 That is shield from moral judgment.

00:47:26.980 But it also is, I'm going to inflict fear into you.

00:47:34.880 I'm going to drive fear deeply into you by shaming you, by guilting you, by calling you out.

00:47:42.960 So now there's two targets.

00:47:44.940 Now there is Brett Kavanaugh and you.

00:47:49.680 And you can't do anything about it because they have the arrows of shame, guilt, and fear.

00:47:55.860 And they have the shield.

00:47:58.460 And they have already projected themselves to the world as the knight in shining armor.

00:48:05.080 So, first thing we have to do, before you look to dismantle it, you have to understand what happens to the person that is doing that.

00:48:19.500 What happens to the person that is addicted to outrage in the way that I've just described?

00:48:26.500 Now see if this doesn't fit the way you look and understand or feel about the left.

00:48:34.260 And I probably would assume that they feel this way about us.

00:48:37.640 What happens to that person?

00:48:42.100 Who are they after they've used all three of those tactics of outrage?

00:48:48.820 I'll describe that person and tell me it's not spot on the money.

00:48:54.560 So, outrage, first, signals virtue.

00:49:00.640 Next, it shields that person from any moral judgment themselves.

00:49:04.860 And it provides the greatest weapon that can pierce anyone who disagrees.

00:49:11.000 But here's what it does to the person using outrage as this tool.

00:49:17.140 Listen to this.

00:49:18.840 This is page 22 of Addicted to Outrage.

00:49:22.660 By far the most destructive aspect of outrage addiction is that over time, it tends to overtake and replace the addict's identity.

00:49:34.340 They surrender the responsibility of developing a caring, rational human persona.

00:49:41.060 Hallmarks of genuine and healthy human personalities tend to be smothered below a facade of impulsive, manic, emotional responses driven by the addiction.

00:49:51.080 Rather than actual empathy for the misfortune or suffering of others, addicts respond with oversized and obnoxious levels of self-righteous indignation,

00:50:02.380 always scattering blame against the alleged perpetrators of the crime, against some victims, or against humanity itself.

00:50:09.720 Rather than quiet, reasoned introspection, addicts instead make a grossly obvious grand spectacle of their sympathy and protestations that bespeaks their inner disquiet and self-loathing.

00:50:24.880 Wrongdoers didn't simply make a mistake.

00:50:27.420 They've acted in a subhuman manner and must be castigated from the tribe, fully and wholly shamed in the public square, 0.83

00:50:35.280 ostracized from the group, and ultimately destroyed.

00:50:39.500 Only this victory will fill the void, the hole that has been left in the moral outrage addict,

00:50:46.920 the hole left by the absence of an actual human soul.

00:50:51.900 This is why outrage addiction is so dangerous to our culture and mankind.

00:50:56.480 It deprives human beings of genuine humanity, replacing it instead with an outwardly facing caricature of the virtuous human being wrapped around a rotting corpse.

00:51:10.700 Look, it's not that all outrage is wrong all the time.

00:51:14.320 There are times, of course, when outrage is perfectly appropriate and reasonable as a response to actions we see in others.

00:51:20.960 As with any addiction, the problem is not the chemical or the behavior itself of the addiction.

00:51:29.700 America isn't having an opioid crisis because opioids are inherently bad or evil.

00:51:34.660 It's the abuse and the involuntary need of the object of the addiction.

00:51:40.920 The unhealthy dependence upon the thing in order to feel or to function.

00:51:45.320 Expressing moral outrage has become the automatic, compulsive response to anything that we see or hear that challenges our tribe's beliefs

00:51:55.320 and instantly and automatically supports the outrage of others is even more important.

00:52:02.800 That's the concerning thing.

00:52:04.940 Moral outrage is simultaneously a badge of honor and a shield against any objective judgment.

00:52:12.760 And that makes it destructive and divisive.

00:52:17.000 Outrage addiction has replaced constructive dialogue and suppressed genuine empathy and warmness.

00:52:23.660 It's no wonder suicide has become the 10th leading cause of death in America.

00:52:29.020 Because we don't have any authentic conversations anymore.

00:52:33.020 Or express actual sympathy when others are suffering or being abused.

00:52:38.400 We only express outrage instead.
