00:00:00.000 One of these days, maybe in our lifetimes, it is possible we will see the abolition of abortion.
00:00:06.300 The history books of our future will write about the generational trauma, the breaking down of
00:00:11.640 families, and the destruction of basic morality. How did it come to an end? But for now, we're still
00:00:19.400 in that historic era. What do we do? We can't just sit back and do nothing and think this too shall
00:00:25.240 pass. We need to stand. The Ministry of Preborn stands every day for the helpless among us by
00:00:31.060 providing free ultrasounds and postnatal help for up to two years. They are helping move the needle
00:00:37.460 tremendously. When an expecting mom hears the baby's heartbeat for the first time, the chances that she
00:00:43.060 will choose life for that baby double, and you can be a part of that. One ultrasound is $28. $28
00:00:50.900 to double the chances of saving that baby's life. Hit pound 250. Say the keyword baby and make a $28
00:00:59.360 donation, will you? Keyword baby pound 250, or you can go to preborn.com slash Glenn. That's
00:01:06.540 preborn.com slash Glenn. Preborn is our sponsor.
00:01:10.860 We got no room to compromise. We gotta stand together. It's gonna survive. Stand upside and hold the line.
00:01:40.860 It's a new day on time to rise. What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment
00:01:50.920 and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:01.920 If you were Devin Archer today, how would you be feeling? Devin Archer is the former partner of
00:02:10.520 the Bidens, Joe and Hunter Biden. He is the main partner that knows all about the books, was at all
00:02:18.140 of the meetings, knows that Joe was indeed a full partner in this. He has to testify. The DOJ, there was
00:02:27.560 a big kerfuffle. I think that it's not what all of the conservatives think it is. But imagine,
00:02:33.580 after seeing what happened, uh, with, uh, Jeffrey Epstein, which of course was just, he hung himself.
00:02:45.200 Imagine giving testimony today and then knowing that you're going to prison maybe as early as
00:02:52.960 Wednesday. What would you do? We start there in 60 seconds.
00:03:00.760 First, you sick, twisted freak. Let me tell you about Relief Factor. Connie lives in Nevada and she's
00:03:07.980 had some bad news a while ago. She was told that nothing could be done for the back and hip pain
00:03:11.860 that's been plaguing her for a while now. It just kept getting worse and worse and worse. And then she
00:03:16.780 saw an ad on TV for Relief Factor. She wasn't really hopeful, but she thought, what else do I have to
00:03:22.820 lose? So she ordered the Quick Start. She says it literally started working within two days. The pain
00:03:28.960 began to subside. Obviously, she kept going with Relief Factor. These days, she reports she has no pain.
00:03:35.000 She goes to bed pain-free every night, wakes up the next morning still pain-free. Connie got her life
00:03:41.940 back. Could you? Try the three-week Quick Starts, $19.95. It doesn't work for everybody, but if it
00:03:48.120 works for you, it's the best $19.95 you've ever spent. It's a trial pack, not a drug, developed by
00:03:54.020 doctors and hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor and 70% of them go on to
00:03:59.440 order more. ReliefFactor.com. 800-4-RELIEF. 800-4-RELIEF. ReliefFactor.com. ReliefFactor.com.
00:04:07.920 800-4-RELIEF. Feel the difference.
00:04:11.940 Well, welcome back to Stu. I'm glad to see that you have most of it
00:04:18.860 cleared up. You know, innocent until proven guilty, and I'm glad we don't have to go into
00:04:25.620 what you were doing last week in the court and all of the details. What? Hi, Stu. Hey, Glenn.
00:04:34.220 How's it going? That was a busy week. Good to have you back. Yeah, I bet it was. Now, let me go right
00:04:39.760 into Devin Archer. Have you been following this at all? Oh, my gosh. Well, I had other things going
00:04:47.640 on last week, and it was tough to keep up with all the news developments, so not as much as I would have
00:04:52.440 liked. Sure, sure. Yeah, well, in that cell, it has... Well, I don't know about the Wi-Fi situation.
00:04:58.900 Anyway, in the Biden's family foreign business empire, Devin Archer is ground zero. Devin Archer
00:05:09.240 is the guy who knows where all the bodies are buried. Perhaps, literally, we're not sure at this
00:05:14.660 point. However, he was supposed to testify last week. He's been talking to the committee in Washington.
00:05:24.380 He is not a friendly witness, but he's not exactly hostile either. He says he's just going to tell the
00:05:32.680 truth. I have no idea what he is going to say, but apparently, the committee knows at least his
00:05:39.940 opening statement. And there are some things that he is going to say, apparently, that will not go well
00:05:49.080 for the Bidens. Again, he knows everything that was going on. Now, if I were Hunter Biden,
00:05:57.560 I would think to myself, hmm,
00:06:00.260 I know I'm not suicidal, but I could be committing suicide by the end of this week.
00:06:09.460 He says his family has been threatened. It is really... I mean, we are in the place to where
00:06:18.320 who do you trust to keep you safe? Oh, don't worry, the federal government will keep you safe.
00:06:23.860 We'll keep you safe, all right. No, thank you. Who keeps you safe at this point? So who knows what
00:06:32.160 he's going to say? But here are the questions that can be asked. Why did Burisma hire Hunter Biden in
00:06:40.100 April 2014 on the eve of his father's vice presidency? His dad makes his first major visit
00:06:48.000 to Ukraine. What did Archer believe the firm wanted from Hunter Biden being on its board and working as
00:06:54.460 one of its lawyers? It's a really good question to ask about the hiring of a crack and hooker addict.
00:07:02.740 I mean, I think that's fair. He'll know. What did Joe Biden know about Hunter's business dealings in
00:07:10.380 China, Ukraine, Romania, and Russia? Apparently, there were several parties, apparently several board
00:07:19.300 meetings that Devin Archer knows happened and was there for those meetings. Why did Joe Biden phone
00:07:30.440 in to some of the Burisma board meetings and specifically phone in to the December 2015 meeting in Dubai
00:07:37.120 when the firm was panicked that Shokin, the Ukrainian prosecutor, was escalating his probe of the Ukrainian
00:07:44.100 firm? That one is really important. I have no idea of my son's business dealings, but I happen to call
00:07:55.180 in to a Burisma board meeting. What? To say hi? Hey, I hate to interrupt your board meeting. Son, I just
00:08:03.860 want to know, how are you? Are you okay? Is everything all right? Are you still making it with the hookers?
00:08:10.920 Do you need more money? Well, what was that conversation? It's like one of those wasn't
00:08:15.320 about the business dealings. Those old school party lines, Glenn. You remember you could just
00:08:19.100 call in and you wouldn't know necessarily who was on. It was just a bunch of people. And
00:08:23.040 sometimes it's the Burisma board meeting. You don't know. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank
00:08:28.180 you very much. Why did the Chinese approach Hunter Biden and Devin Archer in 2013
00:08:33.600 uh, to form a joint investment firm. And what did the Chinese say they wanted out of the
00:08:39.960 relationship? I mean, this one is important that 2013, they formed this new investment
00:08:45.940 house and immediately the Chinese are like, we are look, where are we going to put all this
00:08:52.240 money? We have so much money. We need somebody who's on the cutting edge of investing somebody
00:08:59.820 who has a really good track record. Oh, I know. Uh, how about, uh, uh, how about the Goldman
00:09:05.140 Sachs? No, no, no, no, no, no. They're no, we need somebody new. Hey, how about a crack
00:09:12.100 addict and his friend who have no experience at all? There's a good idea. Let's give them
00:09:18.540 more access to our market than anyone, including Bank of America, Citibank, and all the others.
00:09:25.820 Let's give them more access and more money than anyone else in the world. Does that make sense
00:09:33.920 to you? Uh, what did, uh, uh, uh, Bettrina once the richest female oligarch and the wife of the
00:09:41.920 former Moscow mayor reach out to firms associated with Hunter Biden, Devin Archer, and other business
00:09:47.400 partners back in 2013 to 14. And what did she get out of the relationship? Was Joe Biden ever promised
00:09:54.360 or sent any money from his son's overseas business partners? Or did Hunter ever confide that he paid
00:10:00.140 bills and expenses for his dad? Did Hunter have any role in the tribal bond scheme or did he derive
00:10:08.180 any direct or indirect financial benefits for the companies involved in it? Now, this one is important
00:10:14.520 because Devin has said the Bidens threw him under the bus. This is why he's going to jail. He was
00:10:22.940 ripping off an Indian tribe. Is there anything more politically incorrect today? Something that you'd,
00:10:31.920 you'd know, God, gosh, if I get caught, this would be a big, huge scandal. I mean, it's like stealing
00:10:39.680 money from orphanages. Uh, so he's stealing money from, and this is what he was convicted of a bond
00:10:48.100 scheme. However, the speculation is, is that Hunter was involved in that too. And it's a giant coverup.
00:10:55.900 We may find out today, did Hunter Biden have a strategy of targeting full foreign oligarchs with
00:11:02.860 legal troubles. That's the, uh, that's the last question that should be asked today with Devin
00:11:09.400 Archer. If now he has canceled several times and rescheduled. However, they were pushing, they,
00:11:17.560 it was really, it was quite interesting, uh, what they sent. They sent a letter on Saturday,
00:11:24.540 which the justice department, it is my understanding never does. Uh, they sent a, um, uh, they sent a
00:11:33.140 letter that said, Hey, I just want to remind you, uh, he should be in jail. Now people are reporting
00:11:38.780 this as the DOJ was saying that they want him in jail before Monday. The DOJ has said that is not
00:11:47.980 the truth. So on Sunday they did something even, uh, less familiar from the DOJ. They wrote a letter
00:11:58.280 to the judge, a follow-up letter to Ronnie Abrams. This is the United States district judge, Southern
00:12:05.620 district of New York. The government writes to follow up on its letter dated yesterday,
00:12:12.180 apprising the court of the second circuit's mandate, affirming the judgment of conviction in this matter.
00:12:17.420 The government understands that the defendant is scheduled to provide testimony to Congress
00:12:22.040 tomorrow. To be clear, the government does not request and has never requested that the defendant
00:12:27.980 surrender before his congressional testimony. As the court knows to surrender and, uh, commence his
00:12:34.240 sentence of imprisonment, the defendant must be, uh, uh, must be designated to a federal facility by
00:12:42.620 the Bureau of Prisons, a process that can take several weeks or months. Nonetheless, for the
00:12:47.140 avoidance of all doubt, the government requests that any surrender date should the court order one be
00:12:52.500 scheduled to occur after the defendant's congressional testimony is completed. Now, several speculations
00:12:59.460 reasons on why they did this. Why would they go into the office on a Saturday and write a letter that they don't
00:13:08.100 usually write? It can't be a computer glitch. It can't be, you know, anything that you could say, well, we were
00:13:15.540 super busy and, uh, you know, we're just burning the midnight oil. We got these guys here in the DOJ that just
00:13:23.240 won't sleep until justice is served. Uh, does anybody believe that it's the government? Why didn't they just
00:13:30.320 send it today? Don't know. Then they come out and they say, Oh no, no, no. I want you to know that's not what
00:13:38.220 that letter meant at all. Okay. So everybody was speculating that that's what that letter was about.
00:13:45.560 And then the next day they come out and somebody had to go into the office again and write another
00:13:51.440 letter that never happens on a weekend. Here's what I think they were doing. I think they were
00:13:57.880 reminding American Devin Archer is going to prison. I think this was a discrediting thing that they were
00:14:05.420 doing. So everyone could talk about Devin Archer as a guy who is going to prison. How many times do you
00:14:14.440 trust a guy going to prison? And is he just testifying because he wants his sentence lightened
00:14:21.400 or anything like that? That I think is as far as the conspiracy on this may go. Uh, I think it was,
00:14:31.480 it's just, does this sound reasonable to you, Stu? I think it's just to get them to say, to have
00:14:38.360 everybody in America put him in the right frame. And that is convicted criminal, right? They have to
00:14:43.280 give cover to the media to be able to dismiss everything that comes out of this.
00:14:49.080 Right. And to look good on the right side, like, cause they'll say, and conservatives over the
00:14:54.980 weekend said they didn't want him to testify. And that's why he was drawn to jail. But that was
00:15:00.860 nonsense. In fact, the justice department had to come out and tell these crazy conservatives that
00:15:06.340 that's not what was happening. And as it turns out, you know, his testimony was either really bad,
00:15:13.640 but let's remember, he's going to prison for this. Maybe he's looking to suck up or it wasn't as bad
00:15:21.360 as everyone said. And the justice department knew that they weren't trying to, to, uh, uh, bring him
00:15:28.320 into prison. They were very clear that they said, you know, it'll take months. Yeah. Just happen to
00:15:33.140 issue this letter. Trying to cover themselves on, on no matter which way this goes. And of course the
00:15:39.120 pressures are still there, right? Like they still want him to do quote unquote, the right thing in
00:15:44.440 their view, which is to protect, uh, whether that's still a legitimate possibility at this point. I
00:15:51.360 don't know. I mean, it, it seems like it's gone down that there's too much evidence. There's too much
00:15:55.720 coming out here, but that's basically their goal here is to still try to manipulate the levers of
00:16:01.540 power however they can to, to stop all of this. Well, uh, you know, he's, he has been, apparently
00:16:10.940 he and his family have received serious death threats. He has said several times that he is
00:16:16.960 concerned about the safety of himself and his family. You have a skeptical look on your face. Why?
00:16:22.600 No, it's, uh, these things are very, very important. And, uh, you know, uh, they, they always,
00:16:31.040 this is always the excuse, right? There's always something like this that is bubbling under. There's
00:16:36.880 always pressures from the evil outside, uh, that are always conservatives. I mean, these things don't
00:16:42.640 typically ever come to pass, but we always hear about, Oh, I don't think really. You think that,
00:16:48.120 cause I've not read that it's conservatives. I haven't read who, which side it's coming from,
00:16:52.640 but, uh, I, I gotta believe, I mean, if I'm going to jail and I'm testifying against the president
00:17:00.580 and the first son, and I know that, uh, you know, somebody else that had the goods on powerful people
00:17:09.220 just hung themselves strangely and cameras stopped working. I I'd be very concerned. I would worry about
00:17:15.700 my life and my family's life as well. Oh, I'm sure in reality, that's what's happening.
00:17:20.460 I'm the reason it's being reported though, is, is usually the opposite of reality, but we'll see.
00:17:25.800 Uh, we'll see. I mean, I w I would certainly be scared in this, in this scenario with all of this
00:17:29.540 that's going on, if what we believe is true, right. And it, man, there's so much evidence now at this
00:17:35.200 point, there's so much smoke that it's hard to, you know, dismiss. This is the type of stuff that,
00:17:42.080 you know, you see happy, this is, you know, this feels movies, movie stuff. This is the stuff that
00:17:46.400 you see, you know, this is house of cards stuff at this point. And the house of cards is a good
00:17:51.000 analogy because it does feel like we're a couple of cards breaking down from the whole thing collapsing.
00:17:57.540 Back in just a minute. First, let me tell you about legacy box, uh, magnetic tape. Uh, we used to use
00:18:03.780 magnetic tape in radio. And the last time I saw tape edited was when I hired Stu and I was the one
00:18:10.340 trying to teach him how to edit tape. And he looked at me and said, why would I ever do it this
00:18:15.020 way? And I was like, what do you mean? And he opened up the computer and he edited something about
00:18:19.260 half the time. And I said, okay, you're good. Let's go. Um, edited, uh, tape is only, um, really
00:18:27.180 made to last about 10 to 20 years. And it becomes so hardened that the plastic that everything is on
00:18:34.980 remains, but then everything flakes off of that, especially if it's not stored away the right way.
00:18:41.160 Digitizing your old media with legacy box stops the fading process and the destruction of all of
00:18:47.800 those recordings. And you can save them forever for a limited time. Legacy box is running a $9
00:18:52.840 videotape sale, $9. It's usually like 30 at this special price. There's never been a better time to
00:18:59.380 convert your entire collection. Legacy box is the safest and easiest way to preserve your past.
00:19:04.960 Which is why it's been trusted by over a million families. They are, as soon as I send it in,
00:19:10.480 they are going to be, um, taking my entire lifetime archives and, uh, and documenting them
00:19:19.580 and making sure that they're all preserved. Uh, that is a huge, huge job. And the only person I would
00:19:27.040 trust to do it is legacy box. Don't let this summer's heat age, your videotapes and your film
00:19:31.920 reels and fade your photos, legacy box.com slash back shop, their $9 tape sale. It's huge savings
00:19:39.260 legacy box.com slash back unlock this exclusive offer. Now legacy box.com slash back 10 seconds,
00:19:48.400 station ID. Okay. There's a couple of other things. Um, the secret service has refused to turn over
00:20:05.900 the list of individuals who may have access the area of the white house where that cocaine was found
00:20:12.480 on the 4th of July weekend. Uh, it was just the white and the red was the, you know, was the blood
00:20:20.000 on his face after doing all so much white and the blue was just the cops that were turning their back.
00:20:26.000 That's, I mean, that's all that was. That's all that was. So, uh, a FOIA request, freedom of
00:20:31.540 information act, uh, went out and apparently the department of Homeland security said, yeah, well,
00:20:38.340 these are presidential records and, uh, they have exclusive legal custody and control of the white
00:20:45.320 house. Okay. That's not what the FOIA asked for. The FOIA asked for the list from the secret service,
00:20:53.260 which is not protected by the white house. So there is a list of everybody that comes in and you are
00:21:01.680 frisked. Dogs are there. They blow, you know, air at your face. They test you six ways to Sunday.
00:21:09.860 You have to empty all of your pockets. And if you go into this special section, you don't only get up
00:21:15.260 that, but you have to empty your pockets and put everything in a little cubby. Well, there are secret
00:21:20.480 service people everywhere. Now the white house has records and that's protected against the freedom
00:21:28.520 of information act. However, if you're a, the secret service and you said, I need to see that list.
00:21:36.900 So we know who we need to contact who was in this room. They made a list of the people that were on the
00:21:45.680 list that needed to be interviewed. If they didn't make that list that shows, they didn't really
00:21:52.880 investigate. They did nothing. So they were asking for the secret service list of who was in and who
00:22:00.280 did you talk to secret service? I don't know what lit list. What? And the white house is saying, no,
00:22:09.580 no, no, no, no. You want our list of who walked in and that's protected. No, that's not what they're
00:22:15.300 asking for. Why won't they produce the list? Why it is not protected under the presidential records act?
00:22:25.900 Why will the secret service not provide a list? More garbage from the DOJ, Homeland Security,
00:22:37.100 the FBI, and now secret service. More in a minute.

00:22:47.720 Let me tell you about real estate agents. I trust.com. What are you doing today to reach out to your
00:22:56.920 community and help people? Let me tell you a little bit about Aaron. He partners with an organization
00:23:02.940 that provides on the job skills to people entering the workforce. Another organization that helps
00:23:08.560 homeless people with the basic needs to get back on their feet. He's even personally donating,
00:23:13.120 putting his money where his mouth is, putting his time where his money is. On top of that,
00:23:19.580 Aaron and his family are very active in their church. He helps out with greeting and ushering
00:23:24.560 and scripture reading and retreats. With all of that on his place, he still has time to be one of the top
00:23:31.220 best-selling real estate agents in his region. I think it's because of all those things that's why
00:23:37.580 he is one of the top best-selling real estate agents in his reasons. There are many
00:23:42.840 reasons why I am glad that my company, Real Estate Agents I Trust, partners with Aaron
00:23:47.280 and the people just like him. I want you to work with the best of the best. You need a real estate

00:24:37.860 you know, a show about crack dealing and all of a sudden go, you know, I think I'm going to be,
00:24:44.540 I could be a better crack dealer than that guy. You just hope that something good happens and,
00:24:50.440 uh, and you don't ever want to stomp on their dreams. And I say this because my folks, they always
00:24:57.280 said to me, yeah, you know, that that business doesn't pay very well. And I'm like, I know,
00:25:03.000 and you have to be uber successful to be able to even eat. I know, but if that's what you want to do,
00:25:11.280 we recommend that you have some fallback, but, uh, you know, if that's what you want to pursue,
00:25:16.760 we're here to help you. And so I've done that with my son, uh, and he's now, I mean, my son
00:25:24.700 is now a coach of a college football team. And I'm like, how did that happen? How did that happen?
00:25:35.200 And his mom and I, we wanted to say all the time, not a chance, dude, not a chance. I mean,
00:25:42.920 not a chance. You didn't know how this game was even played four years ago. And everybody who wants
00:25:49.740 to be in football, especially in Texas, they started when they're two and, uh, uh, not a chance.
00:25:56.820 Well, now he's coaching college level football and it's crazy. Absolutely crazy. This weekend,
00:26:04.900 uh, my daughter was in a Broadway bootcamp and I have been begging people that I know in the industry,
00:26:13.240 please watch this and tell me she doesn't happen. She doesn't have it, that she's mediocre or
00:26:20.420 anything, please. I do not. And they all laugh, boy, you do not want her to go into Hollywood.
00:26:25.340 And I'm like, no, I don't, I don't want her in Broadway. I don't want her in Hollywood. No.
00:26:30.560 And, uh, my only hope has been that maybe my name would destroy her chance of being,
00:26:36.880 you know, in, in, on Broadway. And, uh, so it's a unique form of parenting you're doing there,
00:26:46.020 Glenn. I don't know how to describe it exactly. It's not in any book that I've read.
00:26:49.360 I know. Believe me, I have wanted to stand up in auditions and things like that and say,
00:26:54.740 just a reminder, she's my, that one, that's my daughter, but I don't. And so this weekend we
00:27:02.860 went to a Broadway bootcamp and it was Les Miserables and she played Madame, uh, what is it?
00:27:10.680 Thornier, Thornier, which is a very difficult role to play and it's all character. And she walked on
00:27:19.720 stage and she had told me that's the role she wanted when she was trying out. She told me, she
00:27:25.980 said, dad, I am going to push this. And I said, go for it, Lucy. And cause I've always called her
00:27:33.120 Lucy. Cause she's, she's since a kid, she's been Lucille ball. She is hysterical. And, uh, I said,
00:27:40.400 go for it, Lucy. And she did. And I sat there and I looked at my wife and I said, Oh, we have to
00:27:51.660 surrender. She clearly has it. So now what do we do to help her? She's got two years before she goes
00:28:01.520 out onto the open market. And I don't want her to go to colleges and art colleges and theater.
00:28:07.180 I don't want, I just don't want her there. And I'm like, where do you go? What do we do?
00:28:14.680 We have a friend who, whose daughter was so talented musically, and she's now in Nashville
00:28:21.660 making music. And we've had two friends that have done this and their family moved to Nashville
00:28:25.800 to be able to do it. And I'm like, but I don't want, we're not moving to LA. We're not moving to
00:28:32.620 New York. I don't want her there, but there's nowhere to go. There's nowhere to go. We saw a show,
00:28:39.420 uh, this weekend, cause we're up in Idaho. And so we went down to watch her at this bootcamp.
00:28:45.720 And then we went to a show on Saturday night, um, at a place called the hail theater. This is a
00:28:52.540 community theater that has for four or five generations said, we're not going to put crap
00:29:00.020 on the, on the stage. And when it by crap, I mean, there's no swearing. There's no, there's no sex.
00:29:07.120 And they have started to buy Broadway shows. You know, you have to pay royalties for that and you
00:29:13.600 have to do them word for word. Otherwise you're in violation of the contract. You do not change
00:29:19.660 what the playwright wrote. Well, they get playwrights to change it, to allow them to remove all the
00:29:27.700 swearing and everything else. They have a 2000 seat theater. I think they do as many as 22 shows
00:29:35.220 a week. They sell more tickets, 94% sold out year round, uh, and about 700,000 tickets a year.
00:29:48.460 It is incredible. And we watched that and we're like, this is a community theater. This is better
00:29:55.460 than Broadway. This is crazy. And you know, my wife looks at me and I said, don't look at me. I'm not
00:30:03.160 thinking that. And she's like, well, I'm not thinking that either. And I'm like, good. Well,
00:30:06.640 we can't think that we don't want to think that, which is, you know, move to Salt Lake city last
00:30:12.640 place I'd want to live. I think it's turning into Babylon myself. Um, it seems like it's,
00:30:18.640 but I don't know when I've been there. Is it that rough as a turn of the rough and tumble
00:30:22.980 Salt Lake is really going dark. Salt Lake is really going dark. It, you know, when I moved
00:30:29.440 there in the eighties, uh, I remember it was really, really good people. And then the people
00:30:36.140 who lived there were so anti the religion because it was so predominant then that they just went the
00:30:43.500 other way just to make a statement. We're not anything like you. And I think that caught hold
00:30:49.580 and it's, uh, it's got some real issues, real issues. Uh, and it will be destroyed. But anyway,
00:30:57.160 um, uh, I, uh, I just don't want to, so I, you know, now I talking to my wife and I'm like,
00:31:04.060 maybe we thought, maybe we start an acting school and I don't know, hire really good actors,
00:31:11.860 you know, like Caviezel or somebody like that, that is good at teaching. I don't know if he's good
00:31:17.240 at teaching, but find some actors that are really good. They don't have to agree with our politics.
00:31:23.980 They just can't be Marxist, socialist, crazy, you know, tree hugging. Uh, I don't know. Deers.
00:31:33.840 I'm a deer. No, I'm a bunny rabbit. None of that crap. None of that crap. Cause we have to,
00:31:40.120 as an industry, we have to start picking from the tree and not from the barrel right now as an
00:31:47.480 industry, we get the rejects or the people who are so successful that, you know, they've got an
00:31:54.780 Academy award and they're like, I don't care. I gotta destroy me. Um, we have to not have our,
00:32:01.620 throw our kids into the lions. Cause I am, I'm terrified. My daughter has it and I don't want her
00:32:07.820 anywhere around it. She'll, she'll lose her soul. I'm convinced. And I'm not going to stop her from
00:32:13.480 doing it, but there's gotta be another way. Gotta be another way. Yeah. I mean, you're seeing that
00:32:18.880 with universities now, right? We're, we're seeing a bunch of these startup that are not necessarily
00:32:24.060 conservative universities. Some of them are outward, outwardly conservative. Some of them are
00:32:28.460 just like, Hey, we're going to not be completely insane. We're just going to get rid of all of the
00:32:34.500 craziness that is, you know, penetrated the universities and made them worthless. I mean,
00:32:39.520 the big names that we've been looking at for all of these years as the center of, of intellectual
00:32:45.420 thought are, have been completely destroyed, completely destroyed. And people are now stepping
00:32:51.340 up and the, the, the sane ones that were left from that world are stepping outside of it and starting
00:32:55.720 new things. And I don't know, maybe that's, it's interesting. You bring that up because it's,
00:32:58.940 it's, it's very central to what you like and, and, you know, love. And it's, you've always been
00:33:05.640 someone who's really loved the arts, but also something you have, you know, some influence
00:33:10.800 in and, and is consistent with what you actually believe. It's kind of an interesting idea.
00:33:16.960 Yeah. Especially now that Angel Studios is getting so much to be able to have the pipeline
00:33:23.760 to Angel Studios. You know what I mean? Look, you have talent, you want to really learn it and you
00:33:31.100 want to have, uh, at least a door open to those kinds of directors that are filming or doing stage
00:33:40.240 productions. You can, you can get the fast track over here. You still have to be good,
00:33:45.640 but if you have those morals and you're trying to stay on those morals, we'll teach you, then you
00:33:52.780 have to have the, it's a merit-based system and you go to, you know, Angel Studios or whoever.
00:33:59.720 I don't know. I haven't talked to Angel or anybody else about this. Why would I do that? I should
00:34:04.080 just instead just talk about it on the air because that's a smart thing to do. What an idiot.
00:34:09.700 Jeez. So you got into the Radio Hall of Fame right there. You're just, uh, blurting out
00:34:14.520 ideas you haven't really thought all the way through, uh, to, you know,
00:34:19.400 I have thought about this though for, I've thought about this for at least a decade
00:34:24.040 when she started sniffing around and I'm like, Oh no, no, no, no. And I've been thinking about it
00:34:29.940 and thinking about it and thinking about it and hoping somebody would do it, but I don't think
00:34:33.460 anybody's doing it. You know, you think about sending your kids to college. Now think about
00:34:40.420 sending your kids to a theater based college or a film college, right? That's a death sentence.
00:34:49.680 That's a death sentence. There's no chance they get out of there as themselves.
00:34:53.960 Another idea is, um, have you heard of the movie, the village? Um, it has, I think there's a real
00:35:01.580 possibility. My wife is making, my wife is making the costumes for that, uh, for that park. We're
00:35:10.980 suggesting that we all, it's a living role that you play. I mean, the Amish may have had it right.
00:35:19.320 You're honey. He can't get out of character now. It's method acting, sweetheart. You have to live
00:35:26.740 like the Amish for maybe the rest of your life, but man, you are going to know them inside and out.
00:35:35.360 So when they remake that Harrison Ford witness thing, you're there, you're there. All right. Um,
00:35:42.060 here's our sponsor this, this half hour. Our sponsor, uh, is lifelock. There's a report out from HCA,

00:36:00.340 If you weren't one of them, good for you. But, uh, what about the next breach?
00:36:06.000 The dark web just introduced, uh, a new, uh, chat GPT kind of thing that just searches for people's
00:36:18.380 information. And, uh, it's a super AI. That'll be, it'll be great for thieves. Congratulations on that.

00:36:55.980 Welcome to the, uh, Glenn Beck Program. There are a couple of things that we're going to be
00:37:18.140 talking about, uh, next hour that you don't want to miss. And we, we talk about it in the book Dark
00:37:24.900 future, but there's a couple of things that you need to be aware of. Um, it is called D growth
00:37:31.760 and it is happening everywhere. These companies are starting to collapse themselves intentionally,
00:37:42.020 and it's going to happen to everything. I want you to listen to this for, from John Kerry, our climate
00:37:48.900 czar. And he is speaking at the agricultural innovation mission for climate summit. Now listen
00:37:57.640 to what he says in this clip, John Kerry. Agriculture contributes about 33% of all the emissions of the
00:38:05.040 world, uh, depending a little bit on how you count it, but it's anywhere from 26 to 33. And we can't get
00:38:14.040 to net zero. We don't get this job done unless agriculture is front and center as part of the
00:38:21.720 solution. But with a growing population on the planet, we just crossed the threshold of 8 billion
00:38:26.720 fellow citizens around the world. We just crossed that in this last year. Emissions from the food
00:38:32.240 system alone are projected to cause another half a degree of warming by mid-century on the current
00:38:40.740 course that we are today. A two degree future could result in an additional 600 million people
00:38:48.920 not getting enough to eat. And you just can't continue to both warm the planet while also expecting
00:38:58.120 to feed it. Wow. How many times, how many times can they go down this road? I think, I know,
00:39:06.500 I think what they're saying here is we have to destroy our food manufacturing system to save our
00:39:14.440 few food manufacturing system. This is one of the most Malthusian things I've, I've ever heard.
00:39:24.460 They're going to mess with the food system from seed to fork. If you don't, if you don't think that
00:39:35.420 they will do this, you're living in a dream world. You're living in a dream world.
00:39:43.880 You know, what was going to have this credit score? I don't mind if I have a bad social score. I have
00:39:52.520 nothing to hide. Really? Let me play the audio here. Cut 12. Play the audio of the social credit score
00:39:59.740 when, uh, what your phone does when someone calls you that is behind in their bills. Listen to this.
00:40:08.980 Okay. So let's say Stu hasn't been keeping up with his bills and is in too much debt,
00:40:28.480 according to the state. Well, with all the legal trouble, what happens? Yeah. Yeah. What happens is
00:40:33.600 your, your, your, your phone goes off as a siren and it says, this person is having financial
00:40:40.020 problems. Your credit score will be affected if you talk to them. But if you do talk to them,
00:40:45.600 tell them they need to get their finances in order. Oh my gosh. You, you want that? This is what a social
00:40:55.200 credit score is. Do you want that? Because it's coming here and to the entire West. You know, people
00:41:05.500 think I'm crazy for saying, yeah, they're going to restrict travel. Oh no, no, no, no. No, you don't
00:41:10.920 listen to me on saying that, you know, read the book or let me show you what just was released
00:41:15.420 this weekend about travel. Yeah. The time of going on vacations, the way we think about vacations,
00:41:24.940 that time is over. That's a quote. More next. Uno is sitting down here by my feet, just in front of
00:41:35.220 the broadcast desk. And he was the pickiest dog, uh, for eating. Well, you could possibly imagine,
00:41:43.200 uh, just a little bit more. Um, but anyway, so picky, so picky and he would, uh, not eat his food.
00:41:53.240 And so we got him rough greens and now he eats and eats and eats and he loves his food. He gobbles
00:42:02.680 it down. And it's because I think it tastes good to him, but also his, his whole life has changed
00:42:10.260 now with vitamins, minerals, probiotics, antioxidants, you name it. If it's healthy
00:42:15.200 for your dog, it's probably in rough greens. Most dogs love it and will go crazy for it. Uno went
00:42:20.980 from the beginning of pickiest eater to now wolfing down his food and he's a lot better off because of
00:42:27.160 it. Roughgreens.com slash back roughgreens.com slash back or call 833-GLE-NN33. It's 833-GLEN-33,
00:42:34.680 roughgreens.com slash back.
00:42:37.520 We got no room to compromise.
00:42:59.840 We got to stand together.
00:43:01.880 What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:43:24.780 This is the Glenn Beck program.
00:43:27.360 So CNN, uh, the propaganda machine that it is, I think with a long, uh, with the W E F,
00:43:39.400 the world economic forum, just, uh, verified. One of the things that we write about in a dark
00:43:45.480 future is absolutely true. Vacations. You're not going anywhere soon. You're not going anywhere.
00:43:52.360 There are two stories that have come out about vacations as we know it are a thing of the past
00:43:59.540 and they have to be. We'll show you the cage that is being built for you right now. And if you don't
00:44:07.020 wake up, if our friends and neighbors don't wake up, they'll be looking at us from inside that cage.
00:44:13.220 We begin there in 60 seconds. The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing mankind that he
00:44:19.960 didn't exist. I mean, think about this. Think about the satanic temple right now saying,
00:44:25.860 Oh, come on. Satan's not real. You do satanic rituals. Yeah. We're not seriously. Oh, okay.
00:44:35.020 All right. Then we should stop looking there. That's insane. The second greatest was convincing
00:44:40.900 people that a child isn't a child, meaning a fetus isn't a human being. How else could it be the case
00:44:49.500 that so many women are choosing to end their baby's lives with abortion and abortion pills and abortion
00:44:54.960 clinics? Well, there's another lie. You're not worthy. You're not capable. You won't be able to do it.
00:45:01.600 Uh, it'll get in the way of what you want. Well, pre-born is trying to change all of that by showing
00:45:09.940 an expecting mom, the ultrasound of her baby. They double the chances that she'll choose life
00:45:15.140 because they get rid of one lie. And that is, it's not a baby that doubles. Then when, when pre-born
00:45:23.740 the ministry comes in and says, look, we are going to help you take care of the baby for the first
00:45:28.360 two years. We're going to help you close with clothing, with food and everything else.
00:45:34.300 Then the second lie is taken away that you just won't be able to make it. Will you help?
00:45:40.900 $28 buys an ultrasound. And if you have the means, would you consider a leadership gift to
00:45:46.020 save babies in a big way? Your tax deductible donation of $5,000 will sponsor pre-borns entire
00:45:52.740 network nationwide for 24 hours. That will help rescue 200 babies to donate, dial pound 250,
00:46:01.620 say the keyword baby that's pound 250 keyword baby, or donate securely at pre-born.com. That's
00:46:07.980 pre-born.com slash Beck sponsored by pre-born. All right. Last hour, I was, um, sharing with you a
00:46:17.820 a couple of pieces of audio. And I want you to hear them again for anybody who says credit scores,
00:46:23.620 social credit scores, they're not going to happen here in America. And they're not so bad. I have
00:46:29.820 nothing to hide. Let me show you how they are being used. This is if you get a phone call from an
00:46:38.120 undesirable caller, somebody who has a low social credit score, for instance, in this case owes more
00:46:46.760 money than the state thinks they should owe. Instead of getting a phone, just a regular ring,
00:46:54.100 and you look down and you see the name. This is what happens to your phone in China. Listen.
00:46:59.040 Now, this is an undesirable caller. The caller has a social lower social credit score than yours.
00:47:19.380 Also, just maybe somebody who owes debt. If you take the call, you risk getting a lower social score.
00:47:26.880 If you do take the call, you're told to tell that person, you got to change your score. Okay.
00:47:35.320 That's what's happening in China. Now, think of the effect that that would have on chilling conversations.
00:47:44.380 Then I played last hour a piece of audio from John Kerry. I need you to understand that WEF is working on
00:47:58.440 social justice and social control, social credit scores through ESG. That comes from the World Economic
00:48:05.760 Forum. You just heard that play out in China. They're also looking for a net zero world. And to get
00:48:13.600 there, we have to completely change their words, not mine, our entire food system from seed to fork.
00:48:23.500 Wow. And we have to do that by 2030. Hurry. What could possibly go wrong from an entire food industry
00:48:38.560 throwing out everything that it has taken millennias to learn, throwing it out, giving it to a bunch of
00:48:46.960 governmental eggheads, and they take it from the planting of the seed to fork. Here's what John Kerry, the
00:48:56.200 representative from the United States of America, said at the Agricultural Innovation Mission for Climate
00:49:04.360 Summit. Listen. Agriculture contributes about 33% of all the emissions of the world, depending a little bit on how you
00:49:12.740 count it, but it's anywhere from 26 to 33. And we can't get to net zero. We don't get this job done
00:49:21.660 unless agriculture is front and center as part of the solution. But with a growing population on the
00:49:28.680 planet, we just crossed the threshold of 8 billion fellow citizens around the world. We just crossed that
00:49:34.360 in this last year. Emissions from the food system alone are projected to cause another half a degree of
00:49:41.680 warming by mid-century on the current course that we are today. A two-degree future
00:49:47.920 could result in an additional 600 million people not getting enough to eat. And you just can't
00:49:57.920 continue to both warm the planet while also expecting to feed it.
00:50:03.100 Hmm. Hmm. So boy, that sounds dark, doesn't it? I mean, that sounds like maybe we should get rid of
00:50:14.680 people too. And if we just starve a few people to death, will it be that bad? It's for Mother Earth.
00:50:21.600 Now, they're not saying they're going to starve people to death. I'm saying their incompetence will
00:50:29.420 starve people to death. I'm also saying that we're starting to see a lot of information come out now
00:50:38.460 about what they did and didn't know about the virus and the vaccine. Are you that concerned? Really?
00:50:47.140 Are you that concerned about killing that many people? I mean, you know, the climate is at stake.
00:50:53.760 And if we could just, as Kamala Harris has said, reduce the population, that would be much easier.
00:51:00.360 So we're going to control people by controlling what they eat and how much they can get.
00:51:07.740 We're going to control people through their social justice credit scores.
00:51:11.960 And also, if we can control the money, we'll be better off as well. Here is the latest from the
00:51:20.880 WEF on a CBDC. Now, I want you to know what a CBDC is. That is a central bank. So that's the Federal
00:51:29.560 Reserve or the Bank of England, a central bank, digital currency. It is completely unlike Bitcoin.
00:51:38.020 Bitcoin, Bitcoin and everything like Bitcoin is not controlled centrally. It has no ability to turn
00:51:48.100 on and off. A central bank digital currency does. This is from the WEF in their meeting about the
00:51:59.120 benefits of digital money. Listen.
00:52:01.620 And the one final note I will make is that if you think about the benefits of digital money,
00:52:08.220 there are huge potential gains. It's not just about digital forms of physical currency. You can
00:52:13.640 have programmability, you know, units of central bank currency with expiry dates. You could have,
00:52:19.560 as I argue in my book, a potentially better and some people might see it or a darker world
00:52:24.900 where the government decides that units of central bank money can be used to purchase some things,
00:52:30.060 but not other things that it deems less desirable, like say ammunition or drugs or pornography or
00:52:36.160 something of the sort. And that is very powerful in terms of the use of a CBDC.
00:52:40.740 So whatever it deems undesirable. Okay. So now let's see what we have here. We have a climate
00:52:53.560 emergency. We had Blinken come out this weekend and say our climate emergency is just as bad as a full
00:53:04.580 out nuclear war. Hmm. Okay. So climate emergency is just the same. We have a government that is trying
00:53:18.160 to control people, how they think, how they feel, where they move, what they buy, all of these things
00:53:27.720 to change the social structure. We also have ESG changing the small business relationship with big
00:53:36.320 business and big banks and small banks. We have a system being built unlike anything the world or
00:53:45.280 America has ever seen. So now when you see something like this story from CNN vacations,
00:53:55.500 as we know, it are over, it might take on a little more telling view. If you know, the things I just
00:54:10.060 told you, and I'm going to share this story with you in 60 seconds. Stand by first. If you own a dog,
00:54:18.400 you haven't, uh, you haven't, you know, watched him or her experience the joy of rough greens yet.
00:54:23.560 What are you waiting for? It tastes great. At least that's what the dogs tell me. And I speak dog,
00:54:28.300 by the way, did you see that Japanese guy who always wanted to be a collie and spent $15,000
00:54:33.580 on a collie outfit? So somebody can walk him around the park. Oh my gosh, it's just sick.
00:54:39.660 Anyway, uh, well, I hope the zipper gets stuck anyway. Um,
00:54:46.780 rough greens is extraordinarily good for them. It has all of the things that they need. Probiotics,
00:54:52.800 vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, you name it. If it's healthy for your dog, it's most likely
00:54:57.320 in rough greens. And the folks at rough greens are so confident that your dog is going to love it.

00:55:23.740 So let me give you two stories that came out this weekend. You can read all about this in my new
00:55:39.700 book, dark future, but two new stories have broken this weekend. One, a new study. This is from CNN,
00:55:48.380 a new study published earlier this week that showed that both the European and North American heat waves
00:55:54.300 would have been all but impossible with climate change. Stu, you're a climate change guy. Uh,
00:56:02.560 all but impossible. What does that mean? All but impossible. All but impossible without climate
00:56:09.040 change. Or you said with climate change. Uh, without climate change. Okay. We couldn't have had
00:56:15.880 these temperatures without climate change. That's the, that's the new study. The plague of heat and
00:56:22.600 fires that our world is experiencing today is one of consequence of a 1.2 degree Celsius hike in the
00:56:28.340 global average temperature compared to pre-industrial times, a two degree Celsius rise, which we are
00:56:34.980 currently on target for exceed by the end of the century would see the average number of heat wave
00:56:42.400 days increase six fold across Southern Europe. So that one in 100 year heat waves could happen every
00:56:49.500 other year, even Northern Europe, blah, blah, blah. The reality is that ongoing heat waves and wildfires
00:56:56.240 provide us with glimpses of worse to come. All right. So what is this story all about? I thought it was
00:57:02.180 about vacations. No, first we're setting the stage. It's horrible. And extreme weather is now endangering
00:57:11.520 much of the world. The events of last week in the Greek Island should then give us pause for thought,
00:57:17.940 not only about the weather, we should any longer be flying on holiday to places that may threaten us
00:57:25.620 and our loved ones. But the whole point of having a holiday for many of us jetting off every year to a
00:57:31.680 foreign break has almost become instinctive. Just something we do without really thinking about
00:57:36.360 it. If Southern Europe is out of bounds due to increasing heat, then the tendency for us, many
00:57:43.080 will find somewhere else that looks or on the face of it, at least less risky. But this isn't the answer.
00:57:51.020 Climate breakdown is now set to become all pervasive and affect every aspect of our lives and livelihoods.
00:57:58.400 And already extreme weather can happen pretty much anywhere. So what do you do? Well, we can't go on.
00:58:04.580 It can't go on, nor should it, both for the peace of mind holiday makers increasingly worried about
00:58:10.520 growing extreme weather or for the good of the planet. Holidays abroad need to be decoupled from
00:58:17.620 flying. Vacations need to return to their roots or at least move in that direction. In particular,
00:58:24.280 holidays abroad need to be decoupled from flying, which means as far as Europe is concerned, train,
00:58:30.080 car or coach. There are issues, of course. Just published Greenpeace analysis revealed that
00:58:36.660 traveling by train around Europe is on average four times more expensive than flying. Traveling by road
00:58:42.380 takes longer and is likely to involve hours of frustrating queuing at ports. But on the plus side,
00:58:48.480 if the journey itself becomes part of the holiday, airport scrums and delays are avoided. And most
00:58:55.520 importantly, for the climate, carbon emissions are massively reduced. So I wrote in the book about
00:59:02.500 how flying will become a thing of the past. I told you just a few weeks ago that airports are being
00:59:10.000 reduced in England already. Not the private ones, just the ones that you would fly into and I would fly
00:59:16.660 into. Now, let me give you another story from England. Want to jet off to Italy, Spain, or France?
00:59:25.340 Starting in 2024, that's next January, all travelers going to European Union countries will not only have
00:59:34.820 to book their flight and hotel and bring their passport, but they also must fill out an online
00:59:41.200 application before traveling on their trip. The online application requires authorization and to pay
00:59:48.000 a fee through the European Travel Information and Authorization System. The system is expected to be
00:59:53.720 operational in 2024. Travelers will be required to fill out personal information, including date, place of
01:00:00.620 birth, home address, parents' names, phone number, email, nationality, education, occupation, planned travel
01:00:07.120 destinations, and criminal history. Niall Gardner, former aide to the British Prime Minister Margaret
01:00:12.500 Thatcher, said this is Orwellian. I see this is a big government overreach here. It's quite Orwellian
01:00:18.940 with the amount of information that the EU officials are requesting. Most applications are expected to
01:00:24.540 clear in just a few minutes, but some applications could take four days and possibly up to 30 days to
01:00:31.120 process. Once approved, your authorization is valid for three years. U.S. travelers that wish to travel
01:00:37.880 through a European Union will have to go through this application process. It is intensely bureaucratic.
01:00:45.400 So what is this really about? Is this truly about, what, safety? Is that what they're saying? This is
01:00:54.320 going to provide safety? Wait, to a country or a group of countries that just open up their borders for
01:01:00.780 anybody to come in? They're now doing this for safety? No, they're not. They are going to make
01:01:10.440 your traveling on a plane such a hassle. You going over to Europe, so incredibly expensive, so time
01:01:21.660 consuming such a hassle that you will give up. And eventually, they will ban it.
01:01:31.620 That's what's really happening here. The vacations are a thing of the past because of global warming.
01:01:39.920 That's not true. It's to decouplize us and degrowth the United States, Europe, and the rest of the world.
01:01:50.260 This is so unbelievably Malthusian. This is a communist tactic.
01:02:02.200 Wait a minute. I have to do what? For every country I'm flying to, I have to what?
01:02:09.140 Well, you can just drive. Oh, well, I can't drive across the ocean.
01:02:13.620 You're going to take a vacation on the eastern seaboard if you live in Washington state. No, probably
01:02:22.440 not. This takes us back to the time of about 1960, 1950, 60, or 70. I remember in 1969, I was five
01:02:33.800 years old and I was going to Disneyland. And I remember very little of it, but I remember it from
01:02:41.980 the pictures. We had a dress and a suit. I had a little suit and a little Frank Sinatra kind of hat.
01:02:48.160 And we got dressed up. My sisters wore gloves on the plane because it was so rare.
01:02:55.360 And it was something very, very special. That's what we're going towards. We're going towards you not being
01:03:05.500 able to go anywhere. Now, by the way, all of this, all of this will be purchased through CBDC, a central bank
01:03:17.220 digital currency, not Bitcoin, a central bank digital currency. And if I might remind you what was just
01:03:26.460 played a second ago, the benefits of central bank digital currency is the programmability
01:03:34.060 with expiry dates. That way they can limit less desirable purchases. Notice he said what we deem to
01:03:44.580 be less desirable, like drugs. Well, aren't they now saying that air travel is less desirable?
01:03:52.580 Aren't they now ceding that ground to tell you that beef is less desirable?
01:04:01.320 That the food you eat is less desirable than protein rich insects? The answer to that is yes.
01:04:12.120 Find out all about it in the book, Dark Future, available now.
01:04:19.480 Our sponsor, this half hour is Relief Factor. Nancy lives in Texas, and she has always liked
01:04:24.840 riding horses. It was kind of her life's passion, but she had to slow down when she began to get a
01:04:29.360 little older. She had pain in her joints, head to toe, over, just overbearing. She couldn't ride
01:04:36.760 anymore. Then she heard on this program about Relief Factor. She decided she'd give it a try.
01:04:42.940 Here's the thing. It actually didn't work for her, at least not overnight. Nancy just didn't give up
01:04:48.480 hope. She kept up with it. After a few weeks, she did begin to notice a difference in the pain levels,
01:04:54.020 and after a month, her pain was nearly gone. Now she rides whenever she feels like it. Nancy got her life
01:05:01.660 back. I got my life back. Will you try to get yours back? Doesn't work for everyone. That's why

01:05:52.180 going on. So if we roll things back, uh, to the way things used to be, how many people are going to
01:06:00.580 be happy? Well, they claim that you'll be happy. You'll love it. And you won't own anything.
01:06:06.780 You may be temporarily happy, or maybe you're happy because you're drugged, or maybe you're happy
01:06:11.380 because you just live in the metaverse. Um, but I continue, you won't be happy generationally,
01:06:16.780 um, because the only way to change your station is, uh, the American way, which, you know, happened,
01:06:25.000 uh, in 1776 and changed the world. It was the only place you could go and, and succeed. If you weren't
01:06:34.660 from a family, uh, of, you know, uh, farmers, you, before you couldn't succeed. If you were a farmer,
01:06:43.240 you couldn't own the farm, then own the plant and everything else. You stayed in your station
01:06:49.680 and that's the way it was always. And the only reason why our parents and grandparents got better
01:06:56.140 is because they could own something. They could own land. They could own property. They could own
01:07:01.260 stock. And those things grew over time and they could change their station. They didn't once poor,
01:07:09.440 you didn't have to stay poor. Well, now we're planning on D growth. Now, let me just ask you,
01:07:17.320 what was the biggest problem with the Corona virus? What was the, who was, who was hurt the most?
01:07:30.040 7 million people died. Yes. Then who was hurt the most?
01:07:37.920 I would say it was the small business. I would say that it was the American way of life. And that
01:07:45.260 is not being told by the federal government, what you must and must not do. Uh, and I would say the
01:07:53.140 supply chain, you know, we will never get the supply chain back. There's no way to restart it the way it
01:08:00.220 was. We'll never get it back. And what we had was damn near perfect. It was a pipe dream, I think in
01:08:08.920 the long run, because they didn't consider disruptions just like the banks, you know, where we're not
01:08:14.620 considering economic collapse. The central reserve, they're saying, Oh no, there's no, the dollar's not
01:08:20.880 going anywhere. No one will plan for catastrophic collapse. And so they didn't. And there was
01:08:28.040 catastrophic collapse. I believe that was mainly engineered. So that supply chain stopped and it
01:08:36.500 taught us something very valuable. Go local. Why aren't we making more steel today? Why aren't we
01:08:46.000 making the thing? Why isn't Ford when they can't get a part from overseas? Why are they just waiting
01:08:52.040 and stay, instead of saying, you know what, it's just time to go back to making it ourself?
01:08:59.900 Because they believe that that's coming back. Cause that's not coming back. That's not coming back.
01:09:04.740 Why is it? Everything is being dismantled. We're dismantling our energy without replacing it with
01:09:13.960 whatever magic dust we are supposed to have by now. We're destroying everything. I'm going to tomorrow
01:09:22.160 ask James Lindsay to be a part of the part of the program. Cause he just tweeted out something over
01:09:27.880 the weekend. D growth equals neo-communism and they're pushing it right now. And he had a cover of
01:09:34.000 monthly review, the independent socialist magazine, and it has stories in it planned to growth,
01:09:40.880 eco-socialism and sustainable human development, the eco-socialist mode of cooperation on technology
01:09:48.040 and degrowth, democratic planning for degrowth, nine, a thesis on eco-socialist degrowth.
01:09:56.340 Degrowth is what's happening to us right now. That is truly what is happening.
01:10:06.340 And that is intentional. If you couldn't bring the rest of the world up to American standards,
01:10:13.380 what you need to do is bring America down and the West down to everybody else's standard.
01:10:19.720 And if you happen to believe that the West stole everything they have, then it's only makes sense
01:10:26.920 that you would want to take their wealth, punish them because there is no forgiveness in this religion,
01:10:33.080 punish them and take their money and give it to other countries.
01:10:38.080 Now, while we're all, we're all realizing that the system is broken.
01:10:47.760 While we all know that 19 out of the 21 pharmaceuticals that we get, the main ingredients that we get
01:10:55.320 are no longer had in America. They're Chinese that 80, I think it's about 80% of all pharmaceuticals
01:11:04.100 come from overseas. Why isn't Pfizer? Why aren't these big American behemoths making new factories here?
01:11:17.380 How come? That would seem logical to me. Why aren't we talking about a national movement
01:11:25.220 to reopen steel mills when most of our steel comes from overseas?
01:11:35.140 Why?
01:11:38.420 Because they are not planning on any growth.
01:11:43.060 Their target is two to 3% inflation, 3% inflation. If you have 3% inflation over 10 years,
01:11:54.100 your dollar loses 40% of its value.
01:12:00.100 Wait, in 10 years, everything I've saved loses almost 50% of its value. It's like 38 cents on every
01:12:06.980 dollar. Are you kidding me?
01:12:11.460 And that's acceptable to us?
01:12:14.980 No, they're just counting on you not knowing.
01:12:18.260 Ford reported in March they were going to lose $3 billion on electric cars in 2023.
01:12:29.140 They're now saying it's $4.5 billion they're going to lose.
01:12:36.180 I'm going to talk about this later this week, but why would you do that?
01:12:43.060 As a country, as a company, why would you continue to up the ante when your division is losing $4.5 billion?
01:12:56.180 And it appears as though their goal of 2 million annual cars is not going to be reached.
01:13:06.340 In fact, the sales numbers are going down.
01:13:15.620 EV sales for Ford dropped 2.8 for the quarter.
01:13:19.140 It's Mustang went down 21.1%.
01:13:23.700 It's e-transit electric van went down 23.8%.
01:13:28.740 25% any reasonable capitalist cuts their losses and says,
01:13:34.740 no, no, no, no, we're not expanding this business.
01:13:42.180 Now, while that is happening, nobody's buying these things.
01:13:45.540 They're wildly expensive.
01:13:46.900 They're more dangerous.
01:13:48.580 And we know for a fact we don't have the power grid to supply energy to all of these cars.
01:13:57.060 Connecticut announces that they're joining Rhode Island, Maryland, New Jersey, and New Mexico
01:14:01.780 to adopt tough rules to ban the sale of fossil fuel powered vehicles by 2035.
01:14:09.540 So you won't be able to buy anything but an electric vehicle by 2035.
01:14:22.580 What?
01:14:22.980 Is that in the people's best interest?
01:14:27.220 Or is that how you get the zil from the former Soviet Union?
01:14:31.780 You're making cars that no one wants, but you force people to buy them.
01:14:41.060 You know, I said, I think it was in January, the first year we were just finding out about it.
01:14:48.740 It was the end of January.
01:14:49.860 I had heard about this pandemic in China in December.
01:14:57.620 We started talking about it January 1st.
01:15:00.740 And by the end of January, I said, don't fear the virus.
01:15:07.300 Don't fear the virus.
01:15:10.580 Fear the effects of this virus.
01:15:13.860 And not life and death.
01:15:17.620 I think that will be the smallest casualty.
01:15:23.700 Turns out, I think that might be true.
01:15:27.220 When we were told billions would die.
01:15:30.580 Hundreds of millions would die.
01:15:34.180 No, no, that wasn't true.
01:15:40.820 Billions did not die.
01:15:44.100 But the thing that keeps so many people alive
01:15:49.700 was shut down.
01:15:52.100 And now, before it even can come back, they're talking about doing more damage to it.
01:16:03.220 When you read the book, Dark Future,
01:16:07.060 there is no other conclusion that you can come to other than
01:16:12.420 you are not important to the global elite.
01:16:16.660 If we really would learn our lesson, we would, we all know, we all know,
01:16:22.580 the solution is
01:16:24.500 de-globalization.
01:16:25.700 But they're not de-globalizing.
01:16:28.580 They say they're de-globalizing, but they're not.
01:16:31.380 They're just making sure that every single community answers to a global government.
01:16:40.660 So a bigger global machine is going to control.
01:16:46.420 And it's going to control all of the big financial firms, all of the big corporations.
01:16:52.020 And it will make sure that you cannot do the things that would keep your local community safe.
01:16:58.500 If you don't believe me, read Dark Future, or if you want to have a lighter look at it,
01:17:05.460 it's still the same information.
01:17:06.740 But I mean, I had to make it funny.

01:17:32.500 You know, the purpose of a parallel economy is, it's not meant to be something that has
01:17:39.540 to last forever.
01:17:40.500 It's about sending a message to companies that they can't drop the woke, that they can
01:17:45.220 drop the woke, or they can go broke.
01:17:48.260 In the meantime, until they do, we're going to create alternatives for goods and services
01:17:52.980 that don't compromise our values.
01:17:55.460 For a long time, that simply wasn't available to us with mobile phone company space.
01:18:02.660 It took a lot of infrastructure.
01:18:04.740 Now that has changed.
01:18:06.100 Everybody can be on the same towers.
01:18:08.900 You rent the tower space, and you build your own network.
01:18:12.660 Now, if you have all of the same towers, you're going to have all of the same coverage.
01:18:17.860 So you get the best possible service in your area, and you get it at a better price,
01:18:23.540 and you get it without the leftist propaganda.
01:18:26.500 I want you to go to patriotmobile.com slash Beck right now.

01:18:53.620 That's Patriotmobile.com slash Beck.
01:18:56.900 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:18:59.700 You know, Glenn, you were talking about these car companies and why they would make decisions
01:19:19.860 like they seem to be making, entering into expensive, unproven technologies
01:19:25.540 that the American consumer doesn't seem to want like electric cars.
01:19:31.140 Obviously, like Tesla's made some success there, but, you know, to take a successful product
01:19:36.740 and essentially new co-kit, right, into electric cars is seemingly what these companies are doing.
01:19:44.980 And as you were talking about it, it struck me as like this never-ending cycle, right,
01:19:50.980 where these companies have problems, they go to the government with their handout,
01:19:56.580 the government gives them this money, and while there might not be an overt string attached to it,
01:20:04.020 it's quite clear what is expected once you receive a giant bailout,
01:20:09.380 that you're supposed to listen.
01:20:10.820 You're supposed to play ball with the new policies that the government wants,
01:20:14.500 and they want you to go to electric cars.
01:20:16.420 And, you know, you think about the future for a company like Ford or GM,
01:20:21.620 where if they decided to do what consumers clearly want them to do,
01:20:26.820 which is make really good cars that work on gas, you know, that's what they want.
01:20:32.900 Yes, some people like electric cars.
01:20:34.660 If you make a great car that runs on gas or is a hybrid, I'm for it, as long as it's, you know, competitive.
01:20:42.340 Yeah, it's good to have those options, but for most people, what they want are gas-powered vehicles right now.
01:20:47.620 And the government is trying to force you into something different.
01:20:51.300 And slowly, they're succeeding.
01:20:53.720 And if these companies decided to do what consumers wanted and provide just gas-powered cars and say,
01:21:02.100 you know what, like, let Tesla do the electric thing, they're pretty good at that, people can have that,
01:21:05.720 we're going to do what we do well, their company, in a short time, will be destroyed.
01:21:11.420 Because they will be regulated out of existence.
01:21:14.460 And then, when they need the bailout again, they won't be able to get it.
01:21:19.500 Now, this way, they go down the road of building these electric cars,
01:21:22.900 which they know aren't going to sell very well, and they know they're going to lose money on all of them.
01:21:26.120 They know all this.
01:21:26.960 But they also know, if they play ball, when they come back to the government with their handout,
01:21:32.340 the government will once again take care of them and push them down this road.
01:21:37.040 Which puts us in a position that you've talked about in both The Great Reset and The Dark Future,
01:21:41.800 where the government is essentially running these companies.
01:21:44.860 These companies are just an arm of government policy.
01:21:48.720 And honestly, like, it makes it into an economy that none of us are familiar with.
01:21:53.360 It's a totally different system of government.
01:21:55.480 Well, I mean, in the old days, we used to call it fascism.
01:22:00.840 That is the definition of fascism.
01:22:04.480 Communism, the state takes all of the property, and the state runs it.
01:22:08.660 In fascism, they allow private people to own the companies,
01:22:13.400 but the government tells them exactly what to do.
01:22:16.100 And if they don't like it, they squeeze them.
01:22:18.380 Yeah, and that's fascism.
01:22:19.900 Not to get too deep into Hitler land here,
01:22:21.680 but a lot of the stuff that these corporations did in Nazi Germany,
01:22:25.480 was they were things that they believed would please Hitler, right?
01:22:31.960 It wasn't even a dictate from Hitler himself or even the government.
01:22:35.960 It were things that they thought would please him.
01:22:38.700 So they would make these massive moves in terrible, terrible policy
01:22:43.120 to try to win over his favor.
01:22:45.560 And gosh, are you not seeing that at the companies today in different ways?
01:22:48.640 Yep, and that's how we got Fanta.
01:22:53.440 Look it up.
01:22:56.800 I went to my Patriot Supply this weekend.
01:23:00.400 I saw my Red Hawk.
01:23:02.360 You would not believe this facility, Stu.
01:23:05.840 You want to talk about an entrepreneur.
01:23:07.340 This guy, they were overwhelmed by COVID,
01:23:11.520 and they realized they didn't have the truck supply chain was down,
01:23:16.580 getting the food prepared went down.
01:23:22.720 Everything went down.
01:23:24.300 So they have, I can't remember how many hundreds of thousands of square feet
01:23:27.960 he bought up.
01:23:29.160 And I went through it, and you could literally eat off the floor.
01:23:33.080 It was one of the cleanest factories I've ever seen,
01:23:36.260 and I saw the food firsthand that will help you and your family right now.
01:23:42.140 There's all kinds of problems with the food supply that are in the works.
01:23:46.260 I hope it doesn't happen, but prepare yourself.
01:23:49.280 Grab yourself a 25% discount on each three-month emergency food kit that you need.
01:23:54.400 It includes breakfast, lunch, dinners, and more 2,000 calories a day.
01:23:59.540 MyPatriotSupply.com
01:24:03.080 We've got no room to compromise
01:24:15.120 We've got to stand together, it's going to survive
01:24:20.920 Stand up, stand, and hold the line
01:24:26.260 It's a new day on time to rise
01:24:31.800 What you're about to hear
01:24:36.400 is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
01:24:40.820 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:24:44.080 Hello America
01:24:49.620 This program, this audience, never gets the credit for defending those that they disagree with.
01:24:56.520 We believe in the Bill of Rights
01:24:59.380 That all men are created equal
01:25:01.900 And they have certain inalienable rights
01:25:04.400 That no one can change or take away
01:25:06.680 And some of them are outlined in the Bill of Rights
01:25:11.000 If you agree with the Bill of Rights
01:25:13.520 Then I don't really have a political argument with you
01:25:17.020 Not a real serious one
01:25:18.620 But if you don't believe in the rights of man
01:25:23.200 And that government can't change these rights
01:25:25.600 Well then we have problems
01:25:27.520 There's a guy who I bet I don't agree with politically on anything
01:25:32.100 However, his Bill of Rights rights
01:25:36.680 Were violated, I think
01:25:38.500 Because he has been swept up in this mob of political correctness
01:25:45.840 And he dared move to Seattle
01:25:49.960 And then criticize the statue of Lenin
01:25:55.080 That they have in the Fremont District of Seattle
01:25:57.760 It's been there for decades
01:25:59.300 It was there when I was a kid
01:26:00.940 And it never made sense to me
01:26:03.120 Well, it didn't make sense to him either
01:26:06.340 Unfortunately, he was an editor
01:26:09.320 At the Seattle Times
01:26:12.980 He lost his job
01:26:14.440 We're going to talk to him in 60 seconds
01:26:18.040 Everybody's feeling the bite of inflation
01:26:23.340 One of the worst places you feel it
01:26:25.220 Is when you're making that monthly credit card payment
01:26:27.500 Because it just keeps going up
01:26:28.860 How much are you paying on interest versus the principal right now?
01:26:33.080 Would you love it?
01:26:33.480 If you could find a way to not be doing that
01:26:36.020 And paying all that money to the bank
01:26:37.620 The same bank most likely
01:26:39.780 That took all the money
01:26:41.600 And TARP
01:26:42.300 And still is taking money from the Federal Reserve
01:26:45.040 That we dare not talk about
01:26:46.940 Love to get out from underneath
01:26:49.760 Those high interest rates
01:26:51.580 Because they're only going to go up
01:26:53.540 I don't know if you saw the bond rate
01:26:55.000 What happened on Friday
01:26:56.120 But bond and interest rates
01:26:58.940 Are directly tied together
01:27:01.240 And the bond rate went through the roof
01:27:04.320 On Friday
01:27:05.220 What's going to happen to interest rates?
01:27:07.980 Anybody's guessed
01:27:08.860 Right now
01:27:10.260 On average
01:27:11.120 The people who are looking for a consolidation loan
01:27:13.900 Can save about $700 a month

01:27:38.600 David Velotzko
01:27:43.220 Is a journalist
01:27:44.700 Formerly with the New York Times
01:27:47.300 And I want to just read something
01:27:49.200 That he wrote
01:27:51.340 Just last week
01:27:52.760 That I shared with you last week
01:27:54.060 I was fired from my job
01:27:55.600 At the Seattle Times
01:27:56.420 After defending Hitler
01:27:57.980 The only problem is
01:27:59.820 I never defended Hitler
01:28:01.500 In fact, my family was hunted
01:28:03.380 By the Nazis
01:28:04.380 My grandfather was a Nazi killer
01:28:06.900 Who almost later died
01:28:08.340 In a concentration camp
01:28:09.600 And some of my best journalistic work
01:28:11.920 Has been exposing
01:28:12.840 Neo-Nazi lies
01:28:14.180 But if you want to hear a story
01:28:15.840 About intolerance
01:28:16.880 In our country's
01:28:17.760 Most tolerant city
01:28:19.200 And the erosion
01:28:20.000 Of civil discourse
01:28:21.280 In American life
01:28:22.300 Read on
01:28:23.960 He moved to Seattle
01:28:27.300 He's lived all over the world
01:28:30.000 He has been a journalist
01:28:31.960 That has covered
01:28:33.200 Everything
01:28:34.860 All of these
01:28:36.680 Grabs for
01:28:38.220 Power
01:28:39.020 He was living in Georgia
01:28:41.740 He was offered a job
01:28:43.760 At the Seattle Times
01:28:44.620 To be an editorial board member
01:28:46.380 And a columnist
01:28:47.200 He said
01:28:48.080 I only knew Seattle
01:28:48.880 By reputation
01:28:49.720 The great outdoors
01:28:51.720 Of the Pacific Northwest
01:28:52.720 A vibrant Asian community
01:28:54.600 Strong Latino community
01:28:55.820 Where our son or daughter
01:28:56.780 Could grow up
01:28:57.400 With Spanish-speaking friends
01:28:58.540 And residents
01:28:59.620 Who routinely approved
01:29:00.900 Tax hikes
01:29:01.540 To ensure that those in need
01:29:02.820 Help receive it
01:29:03.600 I should mention
01:29:04.760 That our politics
01:29:05.580 Fit the bill of Seattle
01:29:06.860 I'm a democratic socialist
01:29:08.540 And my wife
01:29:10.060 Is a DEI trainer
01:29:11.760 Suffice to say
01:29:13.100 The city felt like
01:29:14.220 A great fit
01:29:14.920 I'm sure it did
01:29:15.720 He thought to himself
01:29:17.260 What a beautiful new home
01:29:18.680 How inclusive
01:29:20.080 How tolerant
01:29:21.380 How naive
01:29:23.380 He joins me now
01:29:26.420 David, welcome to the program
01:29:27.940 Thank you for having me
01:29:30.240 You bet
01:29:31.980 You know, coming on this program
01:29:33.700 Is not going to help you
01:29:34.660 With a lot of people
01:29:35.340 In Seattle
01:29:36.540 Or who
01:29:38.280 Who generally might be
01:29:39.920 On your side
01:29:40.760 But
01:29:41.220 I don't know if you heard
01:29:43.100 Any of the broadcast
01:29:43.860 From last week
01:29:44.860 I think
01:29:46.580 That what is happening
01:29:47.900 To you
01:29:48.400 Is absolutely
01:29:49.840 Un-American
01:29:50.540 I mean
01:29:53.620 I mean
01:29:55.240 I engage people
01:29:56.420 As far right
01:29:57.000 As you can imagine
01:29:57.620 As far left
01:29:58.340 As you can imagine
01:29:59.020 I believe
01:30:00.200 In talking to people
01:30:01.020 I think that
01:30:01.700 That belief
01:30:02.440 Is partly what
01:30:03.260 Landed me
01:30:04.220 In this situation
01:30:05.600 I find myself in
01:30:06.700 I was on Twitter
01:30:07.420 I was having a conversation
01:30:08.600 And
01:30:09.280 You know
01:30:11.960 I've covered
01:30:12.720 I've covered
01:30:13.260 A variety of issues
01:30:14.160 That have had
01:30:15.340 Communists
01:30:16.500 Come after me
01:30:17.060 In the past
01:30:17.680 Neo-Nazis
01:30:18.360 Have come after me
01:30:18.900 In the past
01:30:19.400 Generally speaking
01:30:20.240 You ignore these people
01:30:21.220 Online
01:30:21.720 And generally speaking
01:30:23.540 Your bosses
01:30:24.180 Don't even care
01:30:24.860 To hear about it
01:30:25.580 They're trolls
01:30:27.080 On Twitter
01:30:27.560 But I wasn't
01:30:29.420 I was
01:30:30.360 Brushing aside
01:30:32.460 The ones who are
01:30:33.180 Trolls
01:30:33.580 The tankies
01:30:34.100 Obviously
01:30:34.500 That's what you do
01:30:35.220 In these situations
01:30:35.980 There were a few people
01:30:37.300 Who seemed to be
01:30:38.060 To some degree
01:30:38.800 Of good faith
01:30:39.600 And
01:30:39.980 I don't know
01:30:41.960 Maybe it's my
01:30:42.740 Achilles heel
01:30:43.500 I believe in
01:30:44.280 Civil discourse
01:30:45.020 Good faith dialogue
01:30:45.960 And
01:30:46.660 Even in listening
01:30:48.120 To your harshest critics
01:30:49.600 To see if
01:30:50.120 There's a point
01:30:50.920 To anything
01:30:51.220 That they have to say
01:30:51.960 And that is what
01:30:52.960 I was doing
01:30:53.540 In this situation
01:30:54.320 I was engaging
01:30:55.020 People who seem to
01:30:55.980 I said something
01:30:56.940 On Twitter
01:30:57.320 That was poorly phrased
01:30:58.700 And people were
01:30:59.380 Asking me
01:31:00.140 What exactly
01:31:01.020 Do you mean by this
01:31:01.740 Are you
01:31:02.260 What are you saying here
01:31:03.140 And I was
01:31:05.260 Responding to them
01:31:06.120 And I was engaging them
01:31:06.980 And people were
01:31:07.580 Accusing me of
01:31:08.360 You know
01:31:09.920 We can get into it
01:31:10.580 But people were
01:31:11.200 Accusing me of
01:31:11.840 Being a Nazi
01:31:12.500 Of
01:31:13.260 Defending Hitler
01:31:15.260 Of supporting Hitler
01:31:16.180 Of being a
01:31:18.020 Holocaust denier
01:31:18.900 All of this stuff
01:31:20.080 I
01:31:20.360 Ignored that
01:31:22.100 And I tried to
01:31:23.320 Focus on people
01:31:23.920 Who had
01:31:24.340 Who seemed
01:31:25.000 To have genuine
01:31:25.800 Questions
01:31:26.320 Who seemed
01:31:27.300 To want to
01:31:27.640 Have a conversation
01:31:28.360 You can't do that
01:31:32.120 You can't do that
01:31:33.500 Anymore
01:31:33.860 I don't know
01:31:34.300 Where you've been
01:31:34.720 Living David
01:31:35.260 But you know
01:31:37.280 I have been
01:31:38.020 Doing this
01:31:38.560 Forever
01:31:39.440 And I happen
01:31:40.060 To agree with you
01:31:40.940 That you know
01:31:44.460 People aren't
01:31:46.440 Really looking
01:31:47.060 For the truth
01:31:47.860 Anymore
01:31:48.580 And even my
01:31:50.120 Harshest critics
01:31:51.020 I have
01:31:51.560 I listened to them
01:31:52.880 For quite a long
01:31:54.240 Time
01:31:54.560 And really
01:31:55.100 Did soul
01:31:55.640 Searching
01:31:56.060 Wait a minute
01:31:56.460 How can
01:31:57.000 So many
01:31:57.420 People say
01:31:57.980 This about me
01:31:58.520 What am I
01:31:59.060 Doing
01:31:59.540 That maybe
01:32:00.540 Is causing
01:32:01.240 This
01:32:01.660 And so you
01:32:03.120 Can clean up
01:32:03.900 What you can
01:32:04.460 Clean up
01:32:05.180 That you know
01:32:05.820 You're like
01:32:06.180 Okay I see
01:32:06.840 How they see
01:32:07.300 That but
01:32:08.340 There's a good
01:32:09.160 Portion of
01:32:09.760 America now
01:32:10.560 And I think
01:32:11.600 More on the
01:32:12.720 Left but some
01:32:13.460 On the right
01:32:14.080 That just don't
01:32:15.060 Care you're
01:32:15.820 Either with
01:32:16.380 Them or
01:32:16.900 Against them
01:32:17.560 And you know
01:32:19.420 There's there's
01:32:20.160 No place for
01:32:21.140 Actual bill of
01:32:22.740 Rights unless
01:32:23.500 You agree with
01:32:24.340 Me and that's
01:32:25.120 Death to our
01:32:26.020 Republic
01:32:26.500 No I agree
01:32:29.020 There there is
01:32:30.620 There is a
01:32:31.700 Contingent of
01:32:32.320 Individuals who
01:32:33.360 So there was
01:32:36.020 Something different
01:32:36.480 About this
01:32:36.880 Experience I
01:32:37.560 Noticed in my
01:32:38.240 Past with
01:32:38.940 Tank you know
01:32:39.520 I used to
01:32:39.900 Cover China
01:32:40.760 And North
01:32:41.620 Korea and
01:32:42.420 You get
01:32:42.840 Tankies coming
01:32:44.160 After you
01:32:44.880 For those who
01:32:45.940 May not know
01:32:46.340 The term you
01:32:46.900 Know those
01:32:47.120 Are basically
01:32:47.420 Communists who
01:32:48.220 Defended the
01:32:48.920 Use of Soviet
01:32:49.360 Tanks in the
01:32:49.960 Hungarian
01:32:50.300 Revolution these
01:32:51.040 Are people who
01:32:51.540 Are pro-violence
01:32:52.680 Communists basically
01:32:53.760 They're the
01:32:54.240 Worst sort and
01:32:55.980 They're on a
01:32:57.020 Lot of them on
01:32:57.460 Twitter who
01:32:58.520 Knows to what
01:32:59.020 Degree they
01:32:59.360 Actually believe
01:33:00.300 In in
01:33:01.480 Enacting
01:33:02.720 Violence but
01:33:03.480 You ignore
01:33:04.160 Them and
01:33:04.620 Usually their
01:33:05.120 Attacks are
01:33:06.260 In the form
01:33:06.820 Of you know
01:33:08.360 They'll look at
01:33:08.880 Your account and
01:33:09.800 For instance mine
01:33:10.680 I have a
01:33:11.440 Ukrainian flag so
01:33:12.760 They'll say oh
01:33:13.520 You know they'll
01:33:14.140 Make some argument
01:33:15.120 About that or
01:33:16.160 They'll look at
01:33:16.500 My last name and
01:33:17.500 Or they'll attack
01:33:18.580 Me they look at
01:33:19.540 David Joseph and
01:33:20.280 They assume that
01:33:20.760 I'm Jewish they'll
01:33:21.340 Attack me for
01:33:21.900 That things of
01:33:22.900 This nature it's
01:33:23.700 Ad hominem it's
01:33:24.520 Very simplistic but
01:33:26.020 What was happening
01:33:26.700 And the neo
01:33:27.480 Nazis that come
01:33:28.180 After me they do
01:33:28.680 The same thing but
01:33:29.840 What was happening
01:33:30.440 Here is
01:33:31.460 Was different in
01:33:33.000 That there was a
01:33:34.300 Lot of attempts to
01:33:36.100 Take what I'd
01:33:37.020 Said and then
01:33:38.120 Warp it and then
01:33:39.440 Claim that I was
01:33:40.240 Saying the
01:33:41.620 Opposite so
01:33:42.600 People even dug
01:33:43.400 Up into my
01:33:44.100 Past they went
01:33:45.020 Back years one
01:33:46.040 Individual a
01:33:46.980 Journalist in fact
01:33:47.740 Found a thread
01:33:48.700 That I'd written
01:33:49.340 Which was basically
01:33:50.060 Arguing it was a
01:33:52.340 Gay rights argument
01:33:53.440 And they were
01:33:56.020 Insinuating that I
01:33:56.900 Was homophobic by
01:33:58.740 Using and I'm
01:33:59.740 Thinking well
01:34:00.200 Anybody that
01:34:00.800 Clicks on this and
01:34:01.540 Reads it is just
01:34:02.820 Going to see that
01:34:03.620 You're lying but of
01:34:04.720 Course many people
01:34:05.920 Will not know
01:34:06.420 They'll just and
01:34:07.980 And this was
01:34:09.120 Happening so there
01:34:10.360 Was another example
01:34:11.160 Where somebody was
01:34:12.220 Arguing you know I
01:34:12.820 Was going back and
01:34:13.380 Forward and somebody
01:34:13.980 Said we were having
01:34:17.120 This discussion about
01:34:18.180 You know Hitler
01:34:19.220 Versus Lenin Hitler
01:34:20.040 Versus Stalin and
01:34:20.920 Somebody said well
01:34:21.560 You know Stalin did
01:34:22.460 A lot of good
01:34:22.900 Things and I
01:34:25.260 Well Hitler built
01:34:27.400 The highways oh my
01:34:29.320 Gosh well well no in
01:34:31.620 Fact in fact what I
01:34:33.580 Responded was really so
01:34:36.300 Hitler had environmental
01:34:38.120 Protection policies and
01:34:39.560 Some kind of food aid
01:34:40.560 Program for children so
01:34:42.600 What that was my
01:34:44.080 Response people took
01:34:45.500 That response and said
01:34:46.420 Look look he's he's
01:34:48.040 Defending Hitler look at
01:34:48.940 Him he's talking about
01:34:49.640 How Hitler had
01:34:50.200 Environmental programs
01:34:51.080 This guy loves
01:34:51.700 Hitler that's what
01:34:52.340 They did with that
01:34:53.080 Statement and I'm
01:34:54.220 I'm like I finished
01:34:55.760 It with so what I
01:34:57.220 Mean I say wasn't I
01:34:59.220 Clear enough obviously
01:35:00.480 Not I guess I had to
01:35:02.180 Write a paragraph
01:35:02.700 Afterwards explaining
01:35:03.660 Exactly what I meant
01:35:04.560 But the point is you
01:35:06.920 Realize very quickly
01:35:07.840 That there's a this
01:35:09.640 Wasn't your basic
01:35:10.980 Ad hominem attack this
01:35:12.220 Was a sort of
01:35:13.000 Coordinated effort to
01:35:14.240 Spin everything I said
01:35:16.520 Into the most bad
01:35:18.420 Faith interpretation you
01:35:19.800 Could possibly imagine
01:35:20.900 I mean the crux of it
01:35:23.280 Comes down to the
01:35:24.320 Statement that I made
01:35:25.580 Which listeners can
01:35:27.000 See if they if they
01:35:28.100 If they read the
01:35:28.860 Free press essay that
01:35:29.880 I wrote I quote the
01:35:30.700 Full thing but it was
01:35:31.460 Basically saying that I
01:35:33.300 Was basically arguing
01:35:34.200 That I believe that in a
01:35:38.080 Psychological sense
01:35:39.180 Lenin was more evil he
01:35:42.080 Wanted to kill more
01:35:43.420 People I believe that
01:35:44.560 More killing is more
01:35:46.900 Evil I clearly said that
01:35:49.020 Hitler was more evil in
01:35:50.180 Terms of how many he
01:35:51.260 Actually killed let's not
01:35:52.860 Be confused about that
01:35:54.120 But I think that
01:35:55.560 Psychologically if Lenin
01:35:57.260 Had had the military
01:35:58.260 Machinery of you know
01:35:59.940 1920s Russia wasn't
01:36:01.080 1940s Germany and if he
01:36:02.440 Had had that at his
01:36:03.080 Disposed
01:36:03.400 Correct
01:36:03.820 Who knows what he
01:36:04.480 Would have accomplished
01:36:05.260 My argument was poorly
01:36:07.440 Phrased I will say that
01:36:08.760 I wish I had been more
01:36:10.020 Careful but it's
01:36:11.540 Tantamount to saying that
01:36:12.840 You know if I had said
01:36:13.960 Hey look killing my
01:36:15.720 Family entire family is
01:36:17.440 Worse than killing my
01:36:18.260 Sister this does not mean
01:36:19.760 That I am defending the
01:36:20.980 Murder of my sister it's
01:36:22.520 Absurd this is the logic
01:36:23.860 That people were coming
01:36:24.880 At me with oh you think
01:36:26.880 That killing your whole
01:36:27.560 Family is worse than just
01:36:28.660 Killing your sister then
01:36:29.520 You you you are pro
01:36:31.420 Sister killing this is the
01:36:33.200 You know this is this is
01:36:34.720 What was being thrown at
01:36:35.540 Me and and I'm a Nazi
01:36:37.360 Now and I and I I'm pro
01:36:39.740 Hitler you know and the
01:36:43.840 So thing about this that
01:36:45.380 Go ahead no no no go
01:36:48.360 No go ahead finish I was
01:36:49.960 I was just going to say
01:36:51.240 Another aspect of this was
01:36:54.380 The the the point was
01:36:58.540 Made to me that well look
01:37:00.720 You can't get into these
01:37:01.800 Comparison arguments in the
01:37:02.900 First place you can't be
01:37:04.160 Comparing who was you know
01:37:06.400 So I agree that you you
01:37:09.000 Weren't saying you weren't
01:37:10.380 Defending Adolf Hitler I mean
01:37:12.500 My god but maybe you
01:37:15.100 Shouldn't be comparing these
01:37:16.200 Things nobody you know it's
01:37:17.320 A bad idea and I thought
01:37:20.000 About that I was like but
01:37:22.280 There's a rich and very
01:37:23.660 Well respected 70 year
01:37:25.980 Tradition of historical
01:37:27.120 Scholars doing exactly that
01:37:29.100 I mean Hannah rent wrote
01:37:30.520 An entire book the origins
01:37:32.360 Of totalitarianism is
01:37:33.320 Basically all about
01:37:34.240 Comparing Hitler and
01:37:35.940 Stalin I mean the AL
01:37:38.700 History professor Timothy
01:37:40.060 Snyder recently wrote an
01:37:41.360 Article I think it was in the
01:37:43.320 New York review of books and
01:37:44.900 The title was Hitler versus
01:37:46.980 Stalin who was worse and I
01:37:49.300 Read this article and his
01:37:51.160 Argument is essentially my
01:37:52.280 Argument that but I'm but I'm
01:37:54.040 Saying you know Hitler v
01:37:56.220 Lenin not Hitler v Stalin and
01:37:58.160 Nobody called him a Nazi
01:37:59.640 Nobody said oh look Timothy
01:38:01.740 Snyder is defending him
01:38:02.820 Nobody even thought to make
01:38:04.880 That accusation so clearly
01:38:07.120 Something else is happening
01:38:09.180 Here and I think what was
01:38:10.180 Happening here what do you
01:38:11.160 Think that was I think you
01:38:13.920 Couple things but one of the
01:38:16.540 Things I think that no I'm
01:38:18.300 Speculating so for whatever
01:38:19.580 This is worth yeah I know
01:38:20.980 But you're you know in
01:38:25.120 Seattle the political
01:38:25.980 Spectrum runs from
01:38:27.340 Essentially Leninist to
01:38:29.940 Democrat the Democrats are
01:38:32.620 The right-wingers of
01:38:34.020 I think there are some
01:38:39.880 Conservatives but I've got
01:38:41.520 Family up there you're you're
01:38:43.080 You're pretty right broadly
01:38:45.000 Speaking you're right the as
01:38:48.240 I wrote in my essay the the
01:38:50.120 The Seattle Times editorial
01:38:51.480 Board is seen as arch
01:38:54.360 Conservative and I think
01:38:55.420 That's an unfair
01:38:56.060 Characterization but that is
01:38:57.940 A perception I would I had
01:39:00.820 Experiences introducing myself
01:39:02.440 To people for an interview or
01:39:04.840 For information on background
01:39:06.860 Research and some of them
01:39:08.260 Were they were quite rude
01:39:10.800 Because when as soon as they
01:39:11.960 Heard I was on the board they
01:39:13.320 Were oh oh what are you are
01:39:14.980 You you must be pro-Trump and
01:39:17.620 I thought well but wait I why
01:39:20.540 Would you assume that just
01:39:21.640 Because I work just because I'm
01:39:22.780 On the board I thought the
01:39:24.060 Board I mean this is a liberal
01:39:25.060 Paper this is like a very
01:39:26.320 There's like a tradition sort of
01:39:28.660 A democratic pro-Biden I would
01:39:30.860 Argue type you know not not a
01:39:33.500 Right Trump but that's the
01:39:34.960 Anyway that's the perception and
01:39:36.700 So here you you you have this
01:39:39.900 Contingent of individuals on the
01:39:42.100 Left who um and then including
01:39:46.140 Includes journalists who see the
01:39:48.020 Board in that way fairly or
01:39:49.800 Unfairly and um they have it out
01:39:53.100 For the board and then they see
01:39:54.880 This journalist who's saying
01:39:57.100 Something inflammatory uh and
01:39:59.040 There's not really an effort to
01:40:00.780 Have a meaningful good faith
01:40:02.740 Engagement with this person it's
01:40:04.820 More just oh there's there's a
01:40:07.040 Window of opportunity to attack
01:40:08.480 This entity that we oppose we can
01:40:11.360 Leverage this to go after the
01:40:12.900 Board and I think I mean I
01:40:16.800 Understand the sort of political
01:40:18.520 Machinations there but um I think
01:40:21.520 Maybe if uh if if the situation
01:40:24.380 Had just been paused for about a
01:40:26.380 Week these these types of twitter
01:40:29.700 Mobs they tend to move on to the
01:40:31.180 Next target even in my experience
01:40:33.600 When I've said things and riled up
01:40:35.520 The right pro north korean tankies
01:40:37.560 They come after you and then
01:40:38.500 They're gone in five days so yeah
01:40:41.920 Not this not this one so David
01:40:43.960 Hang on just a sec I have to take
01:40:45.420 A quick one minute break and then
01:40:46.520 We'll come back and I I want to
01:40:48.120 Talk to you about so what do you
01:40:50.220 Take from all of this what what do
01:40:52.960 You what do you think the lesson is
01:40:55.560 In all of this back in just 60
01:40:58.520 Seconds first our sponsor if you

01:41:58.360 David Velazco is a journalist in
01:42:11.440 Seattle he was just like oh by the
01:42:12.900 Seattle Times and David I I have to
01:42:16.180 Tell you I have heard this story from
01:42:18.640 People that you know I would deem on
01:42:21.580 The left and sometimes on the far left
01:42:25.660 But generally not and I just kind of I
01:42:29.680 Just it's it's hard to listen to because
01:42:32.260 I'm like I know I know I've been saying
01:42:34.260 This for 20 years but nobody would listen
01:42:35.980 To me and then they experience what they
01:42:41.260 Experience and generally speaking they
01:42:45.340 Start to look at things completely
01:42:47.740 Differently what is it that you have
01:42:50.040 Learned from this
01:42:51.040 Well I mean I've seen these types of
01:42:54.600 Experiences play out obviously I'm in
01:42:56.900 The media so I I've paid attention to
01:42:58.740 These in the past and you know it runs
01:43:01.120 The gamut from I guess what you would
01:43:03.300 Say reasonable quote-unquote
01:43:05.380 Cancellation to you know you can't even
01:43:08.200 Believe that somebody was was penalized
01:43:10.720 Or even lost their job over you know
01:43:12.560 There's examples that just boggles the
01:43:14.120 Mind and I suppose mine falls into the
01:43:16.660 Latter category but so I'm not someone
01:43:19.980 Who is suddenly waking up and and like
01:43:23.000 Whoa this is so unfair because now it
01:43:26.120 Happened to me I've been thinking that
01:43:28.020 This is a serious problem for some time
01:43:30.120 But I was largely outside of America
01:43:33.540 For the better part of two decades so
01:43:35.660 Kind of looking at it from a distance
01:43:37.300 And I think the trend that I noticed is
01:43:40.980 You know there's there's really a lot
01:43:44.760 Of these examples are that's the same
01:43:46.260 You see the same pattern with this sort
01:43:48.560 Of a reputable institution caving to
01:43:51.460 What amounts to nothing more really than
01:43:53.600 A twitter mob mob role that should be
01:43:57.500 Ignored they should be ignored they should
01:43:59.440 Be relegated to the dark corners of of
01:44:02.080 The of twitter essentially nobody should
01:44:05.040 Pay them any mind but I see it happening I
01:44:08.000 See the sensitivities over perceived you
01:44:11.520 Know negative reputational damage getting
01:44:16.160 Getting higher and higher and the funny
01:44:18.260 Thing about that is that you know these
01:44:19.960 These groups for instance in my case the
01:44:24.000 Idea that that by firing me perhaps there
01:44:26.820 Would be some appeasement of these
01:44:28.260 Individuals these individuals many of them
01:44:31.180 Exist they exist to hate the Seattle times
01:44:34.380 They're never going this is the this is
01:44:36.400 The equivalent of trying to pet a rabid
01:44:38.520 Dog you're never going to you know don't
01:44:42.120 Do that yeah so I think what I've what I
01:44:46.440 Feel now or what I've felt for a while
01:44:48.400 But perhaps more more strongly now is
01:44:51.300 There needs to be I hope there would be
01:44:57.960 A stronger stiffness in the reaction to
01:45:02.860 This just ignore it don't react to it
01:45:06.000 Don't don't throw good journalists to
01:45:11.120 The wolves to lighten your sled
01:45:12.680 Essentially and then you see a
01:45:16.420 Transition of course this plays out many
01:45:18.640 Times where these journalists they
01:45:20.260 Quickly move over to sub stack or
01:45:21.620 Something I will tell you David I wish
01:45:25.660 You the best of luck what I hope comes
01:45:27.820 From this is a strengthening of the spine
01:45:29.680 For the bill of rights from all side
01:45:32.600 David thank you so much for being on the
01:45:35.660 Program that was pretty brave of him

01:45:41.600 Half hour it's Tuttle Twins so why is
01:45:44.160 Jordan Peterson so controversial to some
01:45:46.980 People his books his speeches his advice
01:45:49.600 Are timeless but he's under attack in
01:45:54.020 Fact he's being told by the psychiatric
01:45:56.880 Society up in Canada that he has to go
01:46:00.160 Through a re-education hmm well his real
01:46:04.480 Problem is he promotes personal
01:46:06.020 Responsibility and that is something that
01:46:08.660 The writers of the Tuttle Twins books
01:46:10.340 Believe they should be teaching in our

01:46:53.380 Return tonight on Blaze TV blaze tv.com
01:46:56.220 Slash Glenn promo code is Glenn
01:46:57.680 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program just
01:47:10.500 Had a guest on who was a Democratic
01:47:12.720 Socialist somebody who was an editorial
01:47:16.200 Writer for the Seattle Times wrote his
01:47:19.400 First article about how outrageous it is
01:47:22.520 That the Fremont section of Seattle would
01:47:24.920 Have a statue of Lenin and you know his
01:47:27.720 Family is Jewish was pursued by the
01:47:30.920 Soviets and Lenin his father was or his
01:47:35.400 Grandfather I think was a Nazi hunter and
01:47:38.680 Against the Nazis and because he came out
01:47:40.760 And said this guy is a monster they called
01:47:44.240 Him a Nazi lover which is so ridiculous and
01:47:48.440 So he was fired welcome to Seattle that's I
01:47:52.120 Think welcome to Seattle that's the thing
01:47:53.360 That's changed right it's hard it was
01:47:55.960 Interesting listening to him because I
01:47:57.180 Think sometimes we have these people on
01:47:59.500 Who are maybe of the left or you know
01:48:02.520 Certainly more left than us and go through
01:48:04.820 One of these experiences and they come on
01:48:06.700 And they somewhat sound like Ronald Reagan
01:48:08.660 Like 1986 like they've had full conversions
01:48:11.380 And they're like this is like I right now I
01:48:13.740 Want low taxes to but like that's not who
01:48:16.760 This guy was guy it was interesting to hear
01:48:18.700 Because he's you know he still believes the
01:48:21.120 Things he believes he's just become
01:48:23.040 Victimized by this machine that honestly
01:48:25.340 Has largely been built by his side of the
01:48:28.020 Argument and it's I think it's really
01:48:30.460 Interesting to hear from people like that
01:48:31.940 Even if we don't agree with him on a lot
01:48:33.240 Of this stuff because you know there this
01:48:37.200 Is not someone who's like friendly to all
01:48:39.600 Of our policies these are people who are
01:48:41.900 Getting beat over the head by a complete
01:48:44.840 Change in our culture that is incredibly
01:48:47.520 Unhealthy
01:48:48.080 So I agree with you I didn't expect him to
01:48:53.440 Change his policies he's a well thought out
01:48:55.500 Guy you know he's been he's been homeless
01:48:58.960 In I think Mumbai you know you're homeless
01:49:02.300 In Mumbai well you probably think about
01:49:04.540 Things and he's lived all over the world and
01:49:08.380 He has you know been on the front lines
01:49:11.000 With ukrainians and so he's thought about
01:49:15.200 Things deeply and you know he says that he
01:49:19.160 Is not the kind of democratic socialist that
01:49:22.300 Wants to destroy capitalism he believes in
01:49:24.760 Capitalism etc etc I think he believes in the
01:49:27.900 Bill of Rights and and and it doesn't
01:49:32.060 Matter though it really doesn't matter the
01:49:34.460 One thing he said that I disagreed with
01:49:36.120 Him on was you know there's the kind of
01:49:38.860 Cancel culture that you know should happen
01:49:40.900 And then there's the other kind of
01:49:42.520 Cancel no I don't think there should be
01:49:44.140 Any cancel culture there's no cancel culture
01:49:46.560 Well what is that yeah you can say I
01:49:50.240 Disagree with this person this person is
01:49:53.060 Crazy dangerous whatever but there shouldn't
01:49:57.120 Be this machine that kicks in to cancel them
01:50:00.980 For all time no yeah because if you get it
01:50:04.940 Wrong that's all that's remembered about that
01:50:07.700 Individual you just destroyed that individual
01:50:10.140 Forever forever and that is I mean I think
01:50:15.440 That's evil if you don't like him don't listen
01:50:18.220 To him don't support him you can speak out
01:50:20.700 Against it but the cancel culture no yeah it's
01:50:25.500 Weird I don't know nobody what that change
01:50:27.980 Is I mean I think it's certainly internet
01:50:30.160 Related like you go back in the day there
01:50:32.200 Was always people who had like newsletters
01:50:34.220 Sending it to you know to people's houses
01:50:35.980 Around America that had you know outlandish
01:50:39.120 Views that most of society would not like
01:50:41.520 And they weren't like it wasn't like an all-time
01:50:44.340 Focus on people to cancel them and punish them
01:50:46.700 Beyond the idea that they wouldn't listen to
01:50:49.240 Them they would disprove their ideas they
01:50:51.400 Would show that they were wrong they would
01:50:53.020 Say hey this is idiotic they would not pay
01:50:56.100 Attention to them at all you know that is
01:50:59.900 Of course you know the indifference being
01:51:02.700 Almost the worst punishment that you could
01:51:05.400 Give someone looking for attention like that that
01:51:08.420 Was there difference is the opposite of love
01:51:12.100 Indifference is not hate not hate and and it's
01:51:17.960 It's it's it's always fascinating to me when
01:51:21.820 People think they know what has been going on
01:51:26.920 In the country and then they realize oh wait
01:51:32.280 That means me too yeah the the people who are
01:51:36.020 Actually and it's a small number of people but
01:51:39.140 They are they hold power many of them and
01:51:43.280 They hold sway in our communities and on social
01:51:46.200 Media and that small number of people create
01:51:50.500 Big damage and you will never be you know
01:51:55.500 Left enough for them or correct enough for
01:51:58.840 Them or environmentally friendly enough there
01:52:01.760 Is nothing but their way yeah and their way keeps
01:52:05.620 Getting more and more bizarre and more and more
01:52:08.520 Anti-human yeah and i'm so it's it's really
01:52:12.040 Shocking at the in the places it's showing up
01:52:14.400 Right like like there's some logical through
01:52:17.120 Line that i don't agree with but there's a
01:52:18.840 Logical through line between okay these people
01:52:21.220 Back in the day used to have their newsletters
01:52:23.100 Or whatever they were really let's take talk
01:52:24.500 About the really outlandish person whoever you
01:52:26.620 Think that is and now they have access to the
01:52:29.560 Internet and can get their message to so many
01:52:31.800 More people that we have to do something now i
01:52:35.020 Don't agree with this line of thinking at all
01:52:36.820 But you can understand how someone could come
01:52:39.140 To this idea it's too accessible they're getting
01:52:41.400 Too many followers it's making too much of an
01:52:43.760 Impact of our society we have to do something
01:52:46.420 At the level of social media to ban someone
01:52:50.020 Who believes in some crazy conspiracy theory or
01:52:52.160 Nazi beliefs or whatever and again i don't
01:52:54.700 Agree with this at all i'm i want the free speech
01:52:56.980 Side of this but like you can almost understand
01:53:00.640 Why it would become an issue today and it
01:53:02.740 Wasn't years and years ago but in a at a place
01:53:06.220 Like the seattle times like this is these should
01:53:10.360 Be the people who are pushing back entirely
01:53:13.120 Against this especially we we expect it on the
01:53:16.700 Right but especially with someone on the left
01:53:18.780 Making a you know arguments on the left all
01:53:21.180 The time and now being fired from their job it
01:53:24.420 Just shows how far this has come and there's
01:53:27.500 No coincidence that you know he's writing this
01:53:29.680 Essay for the free press which is barry weiss's
01:53:32.000 You know publication and she's you know i like
01:53:34.480 Barry weiss a lot she's great but she came went
01:53:36.580 Through the same thing at the new york times
01:53:38.040 Where like these organizations that might have
01:53:40.120 Leaned liberal but still always fell back on this
01:53:43.240 Okay well we'll defend these viewpoints even if
01:53:45.760 Because we need that free you know free speech that
01:53:48.740 Discussion at least it was somewhat ingrained in
01:53:53.600 Their stated beliefs now it's the opposite i mean
01:53:57.640 They know this isn't true they know this guy is
01:54:00.380 Not a nazi they know that and they still fired
01:54:03.560 Him i mean that is a a remarkable change in
01:54:06.900 American culture that we should full with it
01:54:10.400 Should have a full-throated rejection by our
01:54:13.020 Society especially in the media and we're
01:54:15.160 Honestly seeing the opposite in the media we're
01:54:17.200 Seeing it from people on the right we're
01:54:19.320 Seeing it from people like elon musk at some
01:54:21.260 Level we're seeing it from people like barry weiss
01:54:24.360 That have to leave these publications and start
01:54:26.580 Their own things just to be able to have green
01:54:29.260 These conversations glenn greenwald is another
01:54:30.880 One yeah it's sad it really is it's pathetic that
01:54:33.720 That these institutions have fallen as far as they
01:54:36.400 Have well it's it's not just the institution the
01:54:40.380 Institutions couldn't fall this far if people
01:54:44.220 Inside wouldn't go along with it yeah you know
01:54:47.220 Like like disney is that coming from the top or is
01:54:51.660 It just tolerated from the top and now the bottom is
01:54:55.240 Absolutely in control and there's nothing the top can
01:54:58.400 Do about it you know i wonder you know you look at
01:55:02.600 The people that the new york times has hired and it is you
01:55:07.340 Know what one generation will tolerate the next will
01:55:10.940 Embrace new york times tolerated a lot of bullcrap and once the
01:55:16.260 Older generation died out and let go then the toleration was
01:55:20.860 The top of the line the next generation embraces it and goes
01:55:26.320 Full throttle with it yeah i mean that's just where the new
01:55:29.260 York times and all these people are yeah i mean glenn we
01:55:31.420 Did a decade of shows complaining about the new york times and
01:55:34.980 How liberal they were right and we kept we talked about it all
01:55:38.020 The time most of the people making the decisions that we were
01:55:41.920 Complaining about being too liberal have all been fired and
01:55:45.800 They've been fired because they made decisions that were too
01:55:48.440 Conservative they made decisions that allowed for free speech and
01:55:52.440 Just opinions to be printed that were from the other side those
01:55:55.600 People have all been blown out now and it's a whole new crop of
01:55:59.360 People being run by seemingly i don't know 23 year old twitter users it
01:56:04.720 Really it's it's become a complete embarrassment even to the people
01:56:09.120 That we were complaining about 10 years ago that were too liberal those
01:56:13.320 People are embarrassed by it most of them have either been fired or
01:56:16.300 Quit and started doing something else entirely because they can't get
01:56:19.280 Anything done
01:56:20.080 So i tell you new brands are being made every day
01:56:23.920 um the new york times
01:56:26.460 uh was known as uh you know pushing the edge and
01:56:32.160 Finding the truth and and i don't think any of the generation that's coming up now
01:56:38.400 Believes in any of that uh they don't get their news
01:56:41.760 Dead it's dead from the new york times they don't get their news from
01:56:46.000 cnn or fox or anything else and they don't trust those institutions
01:56:50.940 And the same is going to be said i think that the when uh people like
01:56:57.500 zuckerberg got into facebook it appealed to so many people because it was not a
01:57:04.700 giant global corporation it was started basically like by kids and you had
01:57:10.060 freedom and the older it gets the more like a old corporation it becomes the more
01:57:17.100 like that horrible awful you know corporation that nobody wanted anything to do with
01:57:24.140 it's just a matter of time before all of these things are looked at it exactly the same way
01:57:30.700 if not worse because i i don't think there were a lot of companies that were as bad as everyone
01:57:38.060 said they were you know maybe some of them were but i think most of them were trying to just make
01:57:43.580 a profit listen to their shareholders yada yada yada some of them were very bad now all of them are
