The Glenn Beck Program - 'Burning It All Down'？ - 6⧸26⧸18

00:00:00.000 the blaze radio network on demand

00:00:05.840 did you have it yet i mean can you do you have a match

00:00:11.000 can you who has a lighter we need a lighter i'm sorry we were

00:00:17.200 look it's i mean i think we just have to come out and say it

00:00:23.080 okay a little house on the prairie needs to be burned it just needs to be burned

00:00:28.160 um you know along with a lot of other books turns out that laura from little house on the prairie 0.97

00:00:35.420 is a xenophobic racist and a land grabber now i'm not talking about melissa gilbert the actress who 0.63

00:00:43.940 played laura on the tv show no she's okay she's okay she's a progressive she's fine i'm talking 0.97

00:00:50.320 about the real life laura ingalls wilder she's the dead author of the beloved series little house on

00:00:57.920 the prairie that inspired the tv show now last weekend the american library association

00:01:05.240 voted to strip wilder's name from a children's book award that had been given the name the laura

00:01:12.460 ingalls wilder award for over 60 years the association cited anti-native and anti-black

00:01:20.920 sentiments in her work as their reason for wilder's work includes expressions of stereotypical

00:01:27.660 attitudes inconsistent with our core values of inclusiveness integrity and respect do you have

00:01:34.480 it lit yet can you just light the fire please i mean how hard is it just roll up some newspapers or

00:01:41.060 something her work contains a few lines that express the stereotypical attitudes that she's accused of

00:01:50.820 but uh should a few lines dismiss her entire body of work yes of course it should and out of all

00:02:00.860 literature um this is where we need to start little house on the prairie i i mean i i don't know about

00:02:07.080 you but we need to start getting rid of some of these these pages in some of these books uh they're

00:02:15.520 offensive yes yes they were written at a time when things and people were different but really history

00:02:22.260 doesn't matter anymore why why in our wildest dreams would we just put it in the fireplace

00:02:31.240 there's nothing better than a good book burning right she is i mean it's time for a cultural purge 0.87

00:02:42.240 let's work overtime on this can we please what books what books do you have what points of view should

00:02:50.180 we purge next i tell you what if you have any symbols crosses uh bibles of course any kind of flag

00:03:00.140 unless it's a rainbow flag statues we gotta we gotta get them can we get the can we get this hot

00:03:05.880 enough to melt some of those statues and we could melt those and then we can make them into some sort

00:03:10.900 of art that means nothing that would be really great so i thought we'd start today by joining in

00:03:21.600 the progressive bandwagon sure it's arrogant to judge all people you know of the past based on the

00:03:28.520 pristine standards of 2018 progressivism because they know what's right today and they'll never be

00:03:37.800 wrong they never be wrong the people in the future are not going to look back at this time and say the

00:03:43.740 progressives were wrong no they were right so what we need to do is burn all of the stuff that disagrees

00:03:50.660 with them now it would be nice to be able to time travel and then just circle uh laura ingalls you

00:04:00.380 know in in some sort of a mob circle and shame her sure sure but we don't have a time machine can't 1.00

00:04:07.980 stop slave owner thomas jefferson from writing the declaration of independence which you know which

00:04:13.620 really reminds me i don't know why we have the declaration of independence you know or the bill

00:04:19.960 of rights we should get rid of the bill of rights and if we're not going to burn them let's just at

00:04:26.480 least use our moral scissors to re-edit history based on current values but we have to look at them

00:04:35.640 through the lens of victimhood

00:04:38.580 and it feel good to stand by this fire

00:04:44.040 sure some will say the saddest thing about progressivism is that you know that it doesn't

00:04:50.260 trust you at all it doesn't trust that you can encounter difficult controversial or offensive things

00:04:56.580 and deal with them on your own no no no no no no no no there is no grace in the progressive mindset

00:05:03.900 not even for authors who have been dead for well over half a century and who lived in a completely

00:05:10.560 different life in different context than our own yes it's tragic grace is what we need

00:05:18.220 those religious freaks will tell you but i'm telling you now progressives have it right 1.00

00:05:23.980 a good mob and bonfire is always the thing to do

00:05:28.740 it's tuesday june 26th you're listening to the glenn beck program

00:09:05.840 all right let me just blow the fire out thank you um powerful lungs there well

00:09:17.320 just saying let me ask you this is it okay to not burn a book if you throw it at a republican

00:09:27.200 um are you going to hurt him or is he going to catch it oh definitely hurt and the intent would be to

00:09:36.420 hurt uh but again like i don't like i don't like an element of their immigration policy so if you know

00:09:41.920 then it's okay right yeah okay yeah if therefore immigration policy that isn't approved by the

00:09:47.320 hierarchy and i don't mean the hierarchy as in the patriarchy i mean the hierarchy of the new

00:09:53.120 non-cisgender the new non-cisgender normative okay so there's it's okay to have an a normal of course

00:10:02.640 of course we have it just has to be the opposite of what it's like yesterday when we were talking

00:10:07.200 about the people that were surrounding ice it was the uh it was the uh anarchist

00:10:13.580 planning community or commission so i thought that was the people that plan for the anarchist plan

00:12:42.120 he make we don't even care we don't even care to discover it because it might it might turn our

00:12:49.480 little world upside down if it happened if he happened to be a transgendered cross-dresser we

00:12:55.400 just put a hat and a coat on him wishing somebody a happy birthday on social media may seem innocent

00:13:02.520 enough but actually the people who want your information can piece together information from

00:13:07.640 various places to hack accounts and once they have that they could snatch the sensitive data

00:13:12.600 like payment information social media is a great way to connect but it's also important to think about

00:13:17.240 what uh what someone with malicious intentions can do with the information that you're sharing

00:13:23.160 there's so many threats in today's connected world and it takes just one

00:13:26.840 weak link and it's all done that's why the new lifelock identity theft protection has added

00:14:08.520 back at 1-800-LIFELOCK or lifelock.com there is something happening uh in iran that uh i i hope

00:14:21.800 we start to pay attention to as a nation and i i hope this president will act i assume he will

00:14:29.240 in a much different fashion uh than uh president obama did the protesters are beginning to come out

00:14:36.840 in iran and you could be seeing the collapse of the iranian regime if we play our cards right

00:14:44.840 what president trump did and how he has handled uh iran since he got into office could mean the end of

00:14:54.120 the regime right now people are um uh underway in a march at the bazaar in tehran um and they are

00:15:06.680 uh they are chanting free iran they are uh chanting uh down with the dictators that's they're calling

00:15:18.840 their own people dictators um close your stalls leave syria alone think of us instead uh they are now

00:15:28.920 uh calling for a major uh calling for a major strike they are also uh protesting and and saying

00:15:35.160 death to the dictator death to the dictator and death to palestine not israel not america death to palestine 0.98

00:15:47.320 if if iran falls it completely changes our world it is remarkable and if this president plays his cards 0.93

00:16:06.840 right and we support uh as president reagan did uh in uh with the berlin wall this president

00:16:17.320 may have been elected just for what's happening in the middle east that may have been divine providence

00:16:23.900 just for what is happening in the middle east i mean with him turning around on the iran deal

00:16:29.860 uh and supporting israel the way he did and then choking off the funds their currency is in a freefall

00:16:38.440 their currency has lost 50 percent of its value since january people are starting to be very hungry

00:16:45.920 and you know with this big you know march for the madi uh going across and sweeping you know into syria

00:16:55.220 the people have had enough the currency is now actually uh valued less than it was at the time of the

00:17:04.720 islamic revolution in 1979 holy cow when that happened it was 42 000 to 1 rial to dollar um and then uh it went

00:17:14.580 now it is at 70 000 to 1 and it keeps increasing you know so that's uh i mean for for the regime not good

00:17:26.020 but uh that's what george bush was trying to do to him and um and then um obama came in and gave him all

00:17:32.960 the cash and and reversed all of that and uh donald trump thank god reversed all that and now their

00:17:40.280 currency is collapsing and they're being squeezed on all sides and the people are starting to rise up

00:17:46.180 and they're not rising up against us i think the iranians uh will be very good friends if if this

00:17:56.200 revolution is supported uh and if we um if it ends up in their hands in the people's hands because the

00:18:06.700 people that you know iran was a very different place iran's very well educated iran was uh very

00:18:14.400 westernized for a long time and you know they just wanted to get rid of the shah and they said burn the 1.00

00:18:21.380 whole system down and there were some radicals that were willing to do it and here's what happened

00:18:27.220 yeah the people were not for the the the islamic state of iran it was just the few radicals that

00:18:38.120 promised a revolution and a free people that uh that brought that to be the people have not wanted

00:18:45.620 this that's not who they are and what would the results have been if not for ben affleck uh going in

00:18:51.020 there pulling those people out i don't know they almost definitely would have died in iran uh no

00:18:58.400 so it's a based on a true story uh what would have happened to i mean what we could have lost

00:19:04.460 batman versus superman oh my god ever do not go down that road don't go down that road people would

00:19:11.680 have lost that entire experience if if if the iranian revolution uh continued and did not step in

00:19:19.380 can i tell you something you've made me reconsider whether or not a revolution is a good thing

00:19:25.720 losing batman and superman movie i uh boy or slavery for an entire country it's borderline have you seen

00:19:34.820 superman and batman oh why can i just kind of may have sidebar what the hell is wrong with dc comics

00:19:42.780 what is wrong with them why would you do that how many times do you need to reset the story

00:19:48.760 of batman you had it you had it nolan did a great job leave that alone and build on that oh

00:20:00.300 gosh ben affleck oh okay you know what there's there's um a few things that are disappearing uh that uh

00:20:11.980 i sure sure would love your help on um i learned this from the smithsonian they said uh

00:20:17.640 that i went and they they opened up this big drawer uh and uh it was in their you know their

00:20:24.900 their room of politics where they had shown me you know the the banners and the flags to get

00:20:30.660 thomas jefferson elected and everything else and they pull open the drawer and they say you're like

00:20:34.660 this they pull open a drawer and it's all the stuff collected from you from our rallies

00:20:41.040 and i looked at that and i said well what is what is this he said it's all all the stuff that you did

00:20:50.060 with the rallies and i said you're collecting it and he said uh well yeah he said we're not sure it'll

00:20:57.220 ever go on display or be worth anything he said but we found that it's easier to grab things from

00:21:03.760 history early and hold on to them than it is to go back and try to find them and buy them later

00:21:11.280 it's kind of a thing that they you know they have an advantage on i think that there are some things

00:21:16.880 that are going to disappear uh from history uh and it's it's already happening in north korea north korea

00:21:23.180 is getting rid of all of its anti-american propaganda posters and that is a staple in north korea

00:21:30.280 uh so you know if you happen to be in north korea can you send some of those uh but what i'm really

00:21:36.340 looking for are any of the flyers any of the posters anything are that are handouts uh that are

00:21:47.920 uh calling for you know revolution or mob justice or anything that marks today's political climate

00:21:57.060 if you have a chance to grab those please do and send them to me here at the studios at las colinas

00:22:04.240 in dallas texas uh because uh we need to uh we need to collect all of the things that are that's going

00:22:11.840 on today uh because it's it's remarkable if you have anything that you're getting from your kids

00:22:18.220 schools that are showing how you know these these post-modernist rules are starting to come in

00:22:25.940 please send them by the way stew you know we talked about uh starbucks closing 150 stores

00:22:32.760 yeah yeah nationwide and i wondered if it had anything to do with you know their their recent

00:22:39.260 debacle uh no it no it actually they're closing 150 stores uh the bulk of them are being closed in

00:22:49.500 large cities that are offering now or demanding a 15 an hour minimum wage and they're moving to cities

00:22:58.080 that don't have that required huh isn't that amazing that is very surprising yeah because they're a very

00:23:06.200 progressive company no i know that uh and they are embracing the important uh new guidelines on how to

00:23:13.980 operate in our society uh except they're they're moving out of the because i think they would want

00:23:20.480 to support the movement these are people looking for a a living wage here that's all they're looking

00:23:26.660 and that's uh and that's the sort of treatment they get that's amazing that's amazing um i there's

00:23:33.160 some other bias i wanted to talk to you about i want to get your opinion on this because it's it's

00:23:37.540 important and we've seen these stories before about bias in colleges usually by some right-wing

00:23:43.000 extremist group who says you know what i think they're the affirmative action is the wrong thing

00:23:48.880 there are people out there that believe this glenn there are people out there that believe you should

00:23:53.780 not have people admitted into college based on their skin color wow there are some people who think you

00:23:59.320 should judge them by like some antiquated standard of the content of their character rather than the

00:24:05.780 color of their skin and that is wow well i tell you you know the the the the the racist

00:24:12.500 that we you know we all know we all know the african american is racist um but nobody has said it but

00:24:21.060 we all know that of course um you know because they've just come out uh with a new poll i think

00:24:28.260 it was a pew poll that shows that african americans um want the people crossing the border sent back home

00:24:36.920 send back them send back them as the president of mexico said once send back them yeah yeah and that

00:24:44.320 weird that is very weird yeah they're or or not maybe they're not racist they just are just like

00:24:50.300 all the other you know americans of other colors that are just like no this is wrong and uh it's not

00:24:58.060 good for us to just have open borders well it's good policy i'm glad they're you know you know they're

00:25:04.040 saying that however we can't give them that of course and luckily uh the uh we've now reversed

00:25:09.700 the policy the controversial policy and it's now we're straight back to catch and release now as of

00:25:14.260 this morning in case you were wondering about how that was turning out uh the media pressure has now

00:25:18.800 turned the administration all the way back to catch and release so hopefully they can get something done

00:25:22.820 in congress because now it seems to be the only way that that's going to occur uh any border uh tougher

00:25:27.280 border uh policies because we are back to uh catch and release as of this morning

00:25:33.660 huh that's been a new policy change in case you missed that he was just saying like yesterday that

00:25:41.620 he thought we should be even tougher yep uh ice uh has uh they don't have enough space and uh surely

00:25:50.840 that has nothing to do with the media pressure it's just a spatial there's just not enough space out

00:25:54.400 there they had more than double yeah the obama administration obama was holding more than double

00:25:58.860 the amount of people that's a whole other issue but i never got to this bias in uh college story okay

00:26:03.880 all right so uh there are some upset people because apparently harvard believes that asians have 0.73

00:26:11.440 terrible personalities huh asians asians have terrible personalities according to harvard 0.94

00:26:21.660 they went through and they uh the they went through um all their admittance of policy and they went 0.95

00:26:30.000 through uh several years worth between 2000 and 2019 what they found is that asian americans outdid

00:26:40.000 everybody in uh in all of the actual school-based things like extracurricular activity and grades

00:26:48.800 they outdid everybody by a large margin so what harvard did was rate on the third area uh was

00:27:00.000 personality they just gave them really crappy personality scores so they didn't overwhelm the

00:27:04.840 college because obviously you don't want asians with all their bad personalities all over your school 1.00

00:27:09.100 you want to make sure that you keep them out now if you actually based it on the things that would

00:27:14.660 matter to get into a school instead of 19 of the eight of the harvard student body being asian it would

00:27:21.600 be 43 because they achieved at a higher level but no instead they decided to go the opposite way

00:27:31.900 and give them really crappy personality scores so that they wouldn't get into the school

00:27:36.360 asian american applicants receive a two or better of their personal score more than 20 of the time

00:27:42.860 and only uh in in uh only the top academic index decile this is this is the stew this is the same

00:27:51.920 group of people that um were not even classified as people uh in the 1800s right yeah they were had a

00:28:01.600 rough time in the 1900s too if i remember yeah and they they built the railroads kind of slave labor

00:28:07.420 yeah yeah anything happened in the in the 1900s yeah any progressive presidents step in well a couple

00:28:13.940 of times but to protect them yeah in uh with with fdr he hated them uh and uh even though all of the

00:28:22.580 evidence showed that uh they weren't a threat uh he just rounded all of them up okay but that group

00:28:31.820 that group of people that were have struggled so much they're doing fine they're doing incredibly

00:28:40.720 fine yeah they have to sex so much better that they have to actually make them seem as if they

00:28:45.220 have bad personalities to keep them out of harvard so here's here is the one time that um because i

00:28:50.740 hate this i hate statue of liberty is weeping today statue is it really it's a statue then you know 0.74

00:28:58.820 maybe we should maybe we should call the pope because liberty should be canonized because she's 1.00

00:29:04.000 crying now i don't know if she's crying blood but she's crying wow she's weeping the statue of liberty

00:29:10.240 is weeping today no no the statue of liberty metaphorically is not weeping it's not you know what makes the

00:29:21.500 statue of liberty weep when she challenges the other countries and says give them to me give me all

00:29:31.460 the people that you say can't make it give me all the people who you say are worthless give me all the

00:29:38.300 people that your system of government continues to oppress i'm going to set them free over here and

00:29:46.000 they're going to join and they're just going to they're going to have a dream and they're going to

00:29:50.240 be able to pursue it they're not going to live the same way that they were living in your country

00:29:57.120 generation after generation after generation because here we're going to take them and say

00:30:03.360 you're free to dream you're free to work what do you want to build and watch what they'll do that's

00:30:12.280 the message of the statue of liberty the torch is imprisoned lightning how does that mean imprisoned

00:30:18.560 lightning all those people all those people all of those ideas all of those things all of the power

00:30:27.760 behind those people you've kept them in cages i'm going to open it up you watch what happens when

00:30:37.260 they're set free statue of liberty is weeping yeah it is it's weeping today over harvard because what

00:30:45.800 you've done is you've taken the american dream you come over here you work hard no matter what no

00:30:52.680 matter what anybody has ever said about you or said about your your race or your relatives in the past

00:30:59.620 no matter how poorly you were treated the the statue of liberty weeps when we have those people here

00:31:08.960 and they are coming through the golden door for their chance to try and some guild or some university

00:31:20.720 or some union keeps them down that's when we have betrayed the promise of the statue of liberty

00:31:29.840 by the way one more interesting takeaway from this you might be uh you might find compelling in some

00:31:42.120 way asian americans only had the solid personality score on the top 10 of academic achievement

00:31:49.200 but whites got the solid personality score for the top 60 of achievement so i mean they a lot more

00:31:57.820 people got good personality scores if they were white however hispanics got in the top 70 and

00:32:04.920 african americans got in the top 80 so it's interesting like there's a level of this is how

00:32:11.940 they're manipulating their admissions right they're just saying well that person has a bad personality

00:32:16.640 and that person has a good personality we want them here i mean this this is the stuff you can't

00:32:22.300 you can't fix this stuff by quotas you can't fix this stuff by affirmative action take people who

00:32:29.780 if your school is 100 asian celebrate it if they're the ones that are actually doing the best work 1.00

00:32:38.720 and achieving the most celebrate it because your school is going to be known as churning out

00:32:45.220 the leaders and the thinkers and the inventors that will change the world

00:34:05.240 selena zito is um i think one of the best writers um in the country and probably has a better pulse

00:34:16.120 on america than 90 percent of the people that you see on radio or television um she's just written a

00:34:21.980 piece for uh town hall and she said it was blustery afternoon in april and i filled a van along with 10

00:34:28.580 students from harvard university we had just spent the last couple of days in chicopee massachusetts

00:34:34.600 where we had chatted with the police chief and his force the mayor and his staff small business owners

00:34:38.780 waitresses firemen about the struggles of living in small-town america the undergrads were buzzing

00:34:43.240 with their impressions chicopee is about 90 miles west of the university in cambridge but when it comes

00:34:48.380 to shared experiences it might as well have been a thousand light years away we were only a few days

00:34:54.500 into a new political project that i had developed with harvard institute of politics called main

00:34:59.240 street and back roads of america a journalism workshop where students were immersed in small

00:35:04.820 town america even though these kids had almost all been raised in the united states our journey

00:35:09.940 sometimes felt like an anthropology course as they thought they were seeing the rest of the country

00:35:14.260 for the first time this was their opening lesson i've been a national political journalist for 15

00:35:20.260 years and wherever and whenever i travel in the country i abide by a few simple rules

00:35:24.340 no planes no interstates and no hotels definitely no chain restaurants the reason is simple planes fly

00:35:31.940 over the interstates the interstates swiftly pass by what's really happening in the suburbs the towns

00:35:37.100 and exurbs of this nation staying in a hotel doesn't give you the same connection i get in staying in a bed

00:35:41.940 and breakfast where the first person i meet is a business person who runs the place and knows all the

00:35:46.540 neighborhood secrets you also have to spend time in the community and really report on it parachuting in a few

00:35:52.120 hours to interview the locals when can lead to flawed evaluations when you're short on time your instincts

00:35:58.160 can get blurred and you can gravitate towards the shiny objects these simple rules are what intrigues

00:36:04.560 students the harvard institute of politics or iop after hearing me speak at the pizza and politics event

00:36:10.960 on the school campus last fall she goes in to talk about what had happened you have to read this i'll tweet it

00:36:17.260 out she said that it was eye-opening for the students they didn't think they would find anything

00:36:25.020 in common uh with these and students ranging from 19 to 21 they had come from the coasts they thought

00:36:34.020 the people would be backward and no longer useful undereducated or uneducated what they came out with 1.00

00:36:40.540 was a very different feel and both sides broke the barriers glenn back quote revolutionary movements

00:36:50.080 do not spread by contamination but by residents something that is constituted here resonates with

00:36:58.720 something a shock wave emitted by something constituted over there an insurrection is not like a plague or a

00:37:06.500 forest fire a linear process was spreads from place to place after an initial spark it rather takes the

00:37:13.140 shape of music whose focal points through dispersed though dispersed in time and space succeed in imposing

00:37:20.640 the rhythms of their own vibrations always taking on more density end quote that is from the book by the

00:37:30.660 invisible committee called the coming insurrection i shared that book with you in 2007 or 8 it was written

00:37:39.760 by radical leftists in france and it talks about quote the imminent collapse of the capitalist and western

00:37:47.160 culture it was published in france in 2007 it was split up in two different parts first part is a bunch of

00:37:54.240 marxist stuff basically complaining why they believe capitalism is so bad the second part is a little more

00:38:00.020 interesting beginning under the section get going the authors lay out a pathway for revolution and their

00:38:07.020 main strategy is to wait for a crisis economic environmental or political and then begin attacking

00:38:15.220 the government institutions the corporations and the police now think about what's been happening

00:38:20.840 think about what you've heard in just the last few weeks think about what's happening with the

00:38:26.040 department of homeland security over just the last few days the acting deputy secretary of homeland

00:38:31.800 security claire grady had to send out a department-wide memo warning employees of recent developments this is

00:38:38.100 on saturday she said and i quote the assessment is based on specific incredible threats that have been

00:38:45.640 levied against certain dhs employees and a sharp increase in the overall number of general threats against dhs

00:38:53.100 employees so grady goes on to instruct the dhs employees not to wear any identifying markings

00:38:58.820 outside of official buildings don't talk to anybody about where they work in public or on social media

00:39:04.220 and to keep their windows and their doors locked in their homes she warned them be alert and aware of

00:39:10.600 any unexpected changes in their neighborhoods this doesn't sound good this doesn't sound good not only for

00:39:17.840 the safety of dhs but it's a really bad thing to take a police force and isolate it from the community

00:39:26.040 and and then begin to plant the seeds that it's us versus them that's not going to end well

00:39:32.760 last week wikileaks they leak the information of over 9 000 current and former ice employees

00:39:40.360 they said they did this to increase accountability

00:39:42.840 accountability but what kind of accountability are you looking for by pointing you know radicals to

00:39:49.020 somebody's house it's not oversight they're looking for it's insurrection ever since that leak

00:39:56.580 the dhs has received over 20 credible threats in one instance a burned and decapitated animal corpse

00:40:03.720 was left on the uh was left on the porch of a dhs employee as the invisible committee describes it

00:40:12.100 this crisis is taking on more density anybody on either side that are stirring up anger and rage

00:40:22.220 are misguided at best because anger and rage begets terror and violence

00:40:30.780 it's tuesday june 26th you're listening to the glenn beck program alex benayan is uh is an author i guess

00:40:43.940 you could call him an author because he has a book but that's not really who he is he is a guy who

00:40:49.540 who looks at the world differently and has realized that there are three different doors in life there's

00:40:57.260 a door that everybody lines up in front of and takes their turn and waits patiently in line then there's

00:41:03.120 the one for celebrities and politicians and people with power or money and then there's a third door

00:41:08.920 that's the name of his book the third door and he has it's full of examples in his own life

00:41:18.480 of how that third door works welcome how are you alex i'm great thank you for having me

00:41:23.400 you were forbes 30 under 30 when you were 22 is that right yep exactly yeah um

00:41:31.760 wildly wildly successful because you think completely out of the box

00:41:38.420 right is that why you would say you were i realized when i was 18 that not only did i not know what i

00:41:46.060 wanted to do with my life i don't know how all the people who i looked up to how they did it

00:41:49.680 so i went on this quest to learn from all these people who i admired

00:41:53.500 and by coincidence not by design the lessons i was learning during these interviews

00:41:59.560 were starting to play out in my own life so this is really you kind of your own university because

00:42:05.220 you didn't get you didn't go to college your mom was not happy about that i'm still traumatized

00:42:10.400 from the tears you know having you know jewish immigrant parents and telling them you're leaving 0.71

00:42:16.820 college is the end of the world oh yeah i bet i bet what did she say it was what she didn't say

00:42:24.060 for weeks you know not talking crying and did you know that you would get this education or did you

00:42:32.220 just say no not now or how did you approach this what was your thinking so i i love college and when i

00:42:38.980 entered college i was the pre-med of pre-meds which happens when you're the son of immigrants i was you

00:42:44.820 know cradled in my mom's arms and then she stamped md on my behind and sent me on my way right and by

00:42:51.640 the time i got to college you know i was in my pre-med bio classes but very quickly i remember the

00:42:57.800 life being sucked out of me and at first i thought maybe i'm just being lazy then i realized maybe i'm

00:43:04.700 not on my path maybe i'm on a path somebody placed me on and i'm just rolling down so i always loved

00:43:11.520 college but i knew the answers i was getting weren't the answers i wanted so i just toured through

00:43:17.260 a bunch of books business books and biographies and self-help books looking for a specific guide of

00:43:23.860 how all these people i looked up to how they were able to break through when nobody knew their name

00:43:28.340 but eventually i was left empty-handed so very naively because i was 18 and i thought

00:43:33.800 why not just write it myself you know i thought i could just call up bill gates interview him

00:43:38.200 interview everybody else you know i thought he's just waiting to help out kids these days right

00:43:42.460 right to my surprise that's not how it played out right that was the original inspiration to go on

00:43:48.920 this quest to get the answers i was looking okay so i want to talk about a couple of things before we

00:43:53.160 get into your quest to meet these people first of all tell me about your dad because he's he's all

00:43:57.360 the way through this book my dad passed a year ago and you know what i'll tell you about a couple minutes

00:44:11.260 ago right before we started i closed my eyes and i told my dad you know you're here with me

00:44:16.680 the hardest and biggest lessons i've learned in life

00:44:32.460 came from

00:44:38.060 seeing my dad pass away before my eyes

00:44:42.620 and

00:44:45.000 i learned about the importance

00:44:48.980 of family

00:44:52.100 and the biggest thing is that you don't know how much you'll miss someone until they're gone

00:45:00.680 i will tell you

00:45:06.720 that if i were your father right now

00:45:20.360 my whole life was just worth living because my son feels that way about me

00:45:33.520 all right we're going to take a quick break and then we're going to come back and talk about

00:45:39.600 the third door the the quest to um find out how people did it the quest just to talk to

00:45:48.760 spielberg and gates and warren buffett and lady gaga in a minute

00:45:54.660 all right there's a lot of things that uh there's a lot of things that you

00:46:07.820 you can't do you can't go into a shoe store and take shoes out for a hundred day

00:46:12.820 you know test walk or a car for a hundred day test drive

00:46:16.840 um and this has always been the way with one of the things we spend at least a third of our life

00:46:21.720 sleeping uh and you go into a uh a mattress store and you roll around in your clothes and it's

00:46:27.960 awkward and it's you're wearing your shoes and it's just you just i don't care that one

00:46:32.320 and then you're uncomfortable in it casper is giving you a hundred nights to test the casper

00:47:17.340 alex benayan he is uh the author of the book the third door the wild quest to uncover how the

00:47:27.260 world's most successful people launch their careers uh he is 25 years old and uh going to

00:47:34.580 have a very successful uh life in front of them uh in front of him um first let's start with

00:47:41.120 what the third door is so after spending seven years interviewing the world's most successful

00:47:47.000 people i realized while on the outside they are completely different you know bill gates grew up

00:47:53.020 wealthy in seattle maya angelou in stamps arkansas at their core though they all treat life and business

00:48:01.900 and success the exact same way and the analogy that came to me because i was 21 at the time was it's

00:48:08.300 sort of like getting into a nightclub so there's always three ways in there's the first door the

00:48:13.260 main entrance where the line curves around the block where 99 of people wait around hoping to get

00:48:18.340 in and then there's the second door the vip entrance where the billionaires and celebrities go through

00:48:23.840 and for some reason school and society have this way of making us feel like those are the only two

00:48:30.320 ways in you're either born into it or you wait your turn like everybody else but what i learned is

00:48:36.280 that there's always always the third door and it's the entrance where you jump out of line run down

00:48:41.700 the alley bang on the door a hundred times crack open the window go through the kitchen there's always

00:48:45.680 a way in and it doesn't matter if that's how gates sold his first piece of software or how spielberg

00:48:50.320 became the youngest director in hollywood history they all took the third door do you think there's

00:48:55.120 anybody who's that does really truly game-changing remarkable things that hasn't done that i don't believe

00:49:03.840 i don't think so either i think the whole you know the very essence of your question game-changing

00:49:10.000 things right you have to think that how can you stand in a long line hoping life hands you what you

00:49:17.020 want if you're trying to do something that actually changes things so were you did you did you learn the

00:49:24.020 i don't think you learned this from them it was just verified in you because the way the first thing

00:49:30.720 you did was you thought it was going to be easy to get all these interviews right there's a power of

00:49:36.800 being naive right okay yeah there is there really is you just don't know any better and i love that

00:49:42.240 um but you thought it would be easy to get that you thought it would be hard to get the money to

00:49:46.900 publish the book right because i was you know buried and i was buried in student loan debt so i thought

00:49:52.180 there had to be a way to make some quick money because i figured bill gates of course would say come on

00:49:57.120 in immediately yeah so i needed the couple hundred bucks to fly to seattle right okay so two nights

00:50:02.500 before final exams this is my freshman year of college i'm sitting in the library doing what

00:50:07.120 everyone's doing in the library right before finals i'm on facebook and i'm on facebook and i see someone

00:50:14.500 offering free tickets to the prices right and the first thought that comes into my mind is

00:50:21.180 what if i go on the show and win some money to fund this dream you know not my brightest moment

00:50:29.120 right but i had a problem i had never seen a full episode of the show before plus i had finals in two

00:50:36.040 days right and you know my mom would kill me but i decided that night to do the logical thing and pull

00:50:42.380 an all-nighter to study but i didn't study for finals i said how to hack the prices right and i went on

00:50:48.180 the show the next day and executed this ridiculous strategy and ended up winning the whole showcase

00:50:52.880 showdown winning a sailboat selling the sailboat and that's how i funded okay so hang on just a

00:50:57.180 second what was the hack and how did you learn it so during my all-nighter what i realized when i was

00:51:03.880 on the you know 23rd o of a google search is that the price is right isn't what it seems you know they

00:51:09.900 make it look random glenn come on down as if they pulled your name out of the hat but what i learned

00:51:15.980 is that there's a producer who interviews every single person in the audience and then on top of

00:51:21.720 that there's an undercover producer who's planted around in casual clothing to verify those selections

00:51:28.540 so like everything in life there's a system to it it wasn't just luck so how did you work that system

00:51:34.700 so when i got there i didn't know who the undercover producer is so i just had to assume

00:51:40.660 everyone was so i'm you know flirting with old ladies i'm dancing with the custodians i'm break

00:51:45.520 dancing and i don't know how to break dance right and eventually i get in line and it's my turn to

00:51:50.660 be interviewed by the producer and the second i saw him i knew you know i knew everything about him

00:51:55.620 from my night of research i knew where he grew up i knew where he went to school and i knew he had a

00:52:00.360 clipboard but it's never in his hand it's in his producer's hand who sits right behind him

00:52:05.720 so it's finally my turn to be interviewed so he goes what's your name where are you from what do

00:52:10.480 you do and i go hey i'm alex i'm 18 i'm a freshman in college i'm studying pre-med and he goes pre-med

00:52:16.220 you must spend a lot of time studying how do you have time to watch the price is right and i go

00:52:20.920 oh is that where i am you know no laughter the joke falls flat so i had read in one of these

00:52:28.740 business books that i was reading that human contact speeds up a relationship so i had an idea

00:52:35.600 i needed to touch stan so i you know i called the producer over stan i'm like stan come over

00:52:42.380 here i want to make a handshake with you and you know we pound it and blow it up and he laughs and

00:52:47.100 he goes all right good luck and walks away doesn't turn around to his assistant she doesn't write

00:52:52.720 anything on the clipboard just like that it's over and i don't know if you've had one of these

00:52:57.960 moments where your whole dream is right in front of you and you can see it slipping through your

00:53:03.040 fingers like sand and the worst part is you know you didn't even have a chance to really prove

00:53:08.300 yourself so i don't know what got into me but i felt this rumbling in the pit of my stomach and i

00:53:13.300 started yelling at the top of my lungs stan and you know the whole audience shoots their head around

00:53:20.220 they think i'm like having a seizure and he runs over he's like are you okay are you okay and i have no

00:53:25.820 idea what i'm gonna say and i'm looking at him and he's looking at me and you know he's typical

00:53:29.960 hollywood you know goatee red scarf and i just look at him and i'm like your scarf and now i really

00:53:38.500 don't know what i'm gonna say and all i can do is with all the seriousness i can i just look at him

00:53:44.940 and i say stan i'm an avid scarf collector i have 362 pairs in my dorm room and i'm missing that one

00:53:50.460 where did you get it and he starts cracking up because i think he finally figured out what i was

00:53:55.700 doing and he was laughing more at why i was doing it so he gives me the scarf he's like look you need

00:54:00.380 this more than i do he turns around winks and his assistant makes a mark on the clipboard wow wow okay

00:54:07.160 so now this is this that you just took the third door you didn't learn this on the road i mean i want

00:54:14.420 to hear the stories for everybody else but you didn't learn this on the road you knew this instinctively

00:54:20.180 didn't you i didn't know consciously that i did right what i learned much later in my journey and

00:54:29.160 it's funny how life works this way you know the answer is sometimes if you're not ready for it

00:54:33.200 it waits until you're ready halfway through the journey of writing the book my grandpa finally

00:54:39.620 opened up about his life to me and what i learned is that he was in iran you know born into a family

00:54:48.600 where food could barely be put on the table in his story of making ends meet when he was five years

00:54:56.800 old his father passed away and in iran women couldn't work so it was really up to my grandpa

00:55:02.540 five six seven eight years old to make ends meet in his story of overcoming you know coming to america

00:55:12.400 rebuilding everything really following that american dream i didn't know it consciously

00:55:17.820 but when i finally heard the story i realized this has not only been in my blood this has been what i

00:55:24.180 was raised around i just didn't know it all right so who's the first person you want to meet

00:55:32.140 oh when i was 18 the first person i tried to meet was steven spielberg and i knew he was at a

00:55:39.720 you know a fundraising party in los angeles and i ended up going to the party sneaking in as part

00:55:47.040 of the catering staff and at the party i you know i had done all my research on him i'd read all his

00:55:52.440 biographies watched all his movies and when i was at the party i finally built up the courage to go up

00:55:57.580 and talk to him because he was you know talking to some you know bald man i didn't know who i later

00:56:02.260 found out was jeffrey katzenberg so i'm like oh this is a perfect opportunity he's talking to some

00:56:10.140 random guy yeah so i run up to him and i'm like you know mr spiel over mr spieler can i ask you a

00:56:15.880 question as you walk to your car and he swings around and throws his arms in the air and i flinch

00:56:20.580 and he gives me a big hug we'll pick the story up there when we come back the name of the book is

00:56:27.620 the third door so you need to sell your home you've made the decision it's time to move you

00:56:34.840 want to maybe take some money off the table lock in your profit or maybe you just want to go to a

00:57:30.520 this is the glenn beck program at the top of next hour we have an update on a couple of supreme court

00:57:40.060 cases that have come in favorable to the conservative point of view one was the travel ban and the other

00:57:46.380 there was this ridiculous law in california where uh if you were an adoption agency or you were a

00:57:54.200 christian agency you had to post the posters about abortion in planned parenthood it was crazy

00:58:00.920 but anyway we'll give you all of the information on that coming up in just a second

00:58:05.460 um um alex benayan is uh here he has a book called the third door and it is about his meetings with

00:58:14.920 these really famous people uh and he got in to see like everybody everybody um and and i let's finish

00:58:23.940 up on on steven spielberg so he gives you a hug at this party he gives me a hug and because i'm 18 i

00:58:30.840 don't have a pitch i just end up pouring my heart out to him yeah and when i ask him for an interview

00:58:37.020 you know his eyes clenched because you know that's the last thing he sort of wanted to hear

00:58:41.100 but he did something that was the most powerful thing he could have given me he sort of stopped

00:58:46.960 and he looked at me and he said i don't know why but i really think you're going to make this happen

00:58:53.660 go do it come back to me later and he walked away you know he said goodbye and walked away

00:59:00.680 and then he turned around right before getting in his car and walked back and said i really meant that

00:59:06.180 i believe you can do this and when you're 18 years old there's no power no more powerful gift

00:59:11.940 yeah at all did you go back to him yeah did he meet you what ended up happening and it's a pretty

00:59:18.640 wild story i ended up going out to the south of france where he was the judge of the can film

00:59:25.360 festival so i could get back in touch with him and i'll spare you the whole story but i ended up

00:59:30.720 taking a little dingy out to the middle of the french riviera to spielberg's yacht to deliver a

00:59:36.000 letter almost died um the story was so preposterous it actually didn't even make it into the book

00:59:42.540 because my publisher is like this is too too much this is non-fiction that is crazy so did he answer

00:59:51.180 the letter spielberg sadly was not oh it's too bad and one of the things that i've learned about the

00:59:58.160 book is that well you know most things don't work out yeah if you don't ask you don't get yeah um

01:00:05.400 when you met um bill gates you wanted him after your interview with him you wanted to

01:00:11.520 get him to line you up with warren buffett and what happened is his office loved gates his office

01:00:18.060 loved the interview so much they actually reached out to buffett's office to vouch for me to try to

01:00:22.820 give me the interview but what had happened is i had spent eight months pounding on warren buffett's

01:00:30.500 door calling his office week after week sending him handwritten letters every single month i was so

01:00:37.980 persistent that when gates his office finally reached out buffett's office said oh we know all about alex

01:00:44.940 and it's not happening and i learned a very strong lesson for a young person which is there's a such

01:00:52.060 thing as over persistence did you meet with him with buffett what ended up happening is because i

01:00:59.560 couldn't get the official sit-down interview me and my five childhood best friends went to omaha for

01:01:05.680 buffett's annual shareholders meeting where there's 30 000 people there oh my gosh and there's a q and a

01:01:11.580 portion but you have to be selected for the q a it's a it's a random lottery but you've done the

01:01:17.960 price is right exactly so me and my best friends go to buffett's meeting and although there's only 30

01:01:24.500 people who ask questions out of 30 000 one in a thousand odds we find a loophole in buffett's lottery

01:01:30.400 and out of you know one in a thousand odds four of us get winning lottery tickets and that's how we

01:01:37.440 asked my questions to warren buffett in front of 30 000 people what was the what was the trick so

01:01:43.960 buffett didn't think out his system clearly enough what ended up happening is it's a big basketball

01:01:50.380 arena and there's 12 different lottery stations all around the arena and they're equally spaced out

01:01:58.080 assuming that everyone in the in this arena wants to equally ask questions but if you think about it

01:02:05.600 the people in the front rows are the biggest buffett fans who are dying to ask the question

01:02:10.520 the people all the way up in the shadowy top part don't want anyone to know they're even there

01:02:17.520 so no one's entering that lottery so you put your name in there and they pull equal amount from each

01:02:23.040 pocket wow so the odds are completely tilted so this is so so well first of all let me ask you met

01:02:35.020 uh maya angelou uh bill gates uh spielberg uh lady gaga uh and then jessica alba and i'm thinking to

01:02:46.580 myself hmm one of these things isn't quite like the other she's built a hell of a business though 1.00

01:02:53.860 she does have she does have a uh a business what did you learn from jessica alba i didn't expect to

01:03:02.160 learn it and we actually touched up on it in the beginning where i went into the interview with

01:03:07.000 jessica alba the week after my dad's cancer diagnosis and i went into that interview thinking

01:03:14.580 you know i need to be professional i need to stop thinking about death and as soon as i sat down

01:03:21.140 jessica alba for some reason i'll never know why she immediately started talking about how you never

01:03:28.600 know when your parents are going to go oh my god that is her biggest fear that helped spur her to

01:03:35.480 start this business so did you just start bawling or i tried to hold it in i tried to change the

01:03:41.260 subject so i changed the subject and asked her how she started her company she goes well when i had kids 0.97

01:03:45.320 i realized they can die just as easily and i'm like please stop talking about death and when i finally

01:03:52.820 blurted it out she for the first time made me feel not alone and not only did she make me feel that

01:04:03.040 she taught me lessons about how sometimes looking and using your biggest fear could be your biggest

01:04:08.920 advantage you have at 25 you have uh more real knowledge than i may even have now

01:04:22.580 uh what are you gonna do with it what i've learned is that when i set out to write this book my

01:04:30.020 original intention was to gather all of these tools and tactics and principles from all these people who

01:04:35.980 i looked up to and put it all in a guidebook and while that element still exists you know the saying

01:04:41.460 one person's hindsight can be your foresight while that still exists in the book what i've realized is

01:04:47.660 that the soul of the book goes much deeper and the soul of this book is really about possibility

01:04:53.660 and what i've learned is that you can give someone all the best knowledge and tools in the world and

01:05:01.520 their life can still feel stuck but if you change what someone believes is possible they'll never be the

01:05:07.960 same and that's the mission moving forward you know i have um i've told this story um a few times

01:05:15.680 but i just want to uh verify what you're saying uh i'm 30 i uh uh am an alcoholic i just start to

01:05:27.560 uh sober up and start to really look at my whole life and and everything and uh and uh somebody said

01:05:37.020 i said you know i just like to go back to i'd like to go to college as i didn't go to college

01:05:41.360 like to go to college and um somebody said well you live in new haven why don't you go to yale

01:05:46.560 and i said they're not going to accept me i was a loser i was i had horrible grades

01:05:53.100 well i sent for my transcripts i was an a student i was a really good student but i had talked myself

01:06:00.920 into not being a good student not being smart and i had allowed others to build on that

01:06:08.740 and um i said with a professor and uh because he said one of the one of the underclassmen said um

01:06:19.000 uh could you just could you just do you know it's finals week and would you just do what you do with

01:06:26.760 the professor uh all the time uh so we don't have to you know really listen and i said wow okay well

01:06:35.000 what is it that i do and they said you know you get him talking and it's because i was asking

01:06:39.460 questions i really wanted to know they just wanted to get through the class i really wanted to know

01:06:45.100 and um so we had kind of this exchange uh over a two-week period and um uh and he finally said i

01:06:53.880 want to see you after class and we sat down and he said what are you reading why are you why are you

01:07:00.080 here and i said i've realized i don't i don't really know anything myself he said what are you

01:07:05.600 reading i said i'm i'm trying to get through einstein i'm trying to get through emmanuel kant i'm

01:07:19.840 plato all of this stuff and uh he said who's guiding you through that and i said me and he said

01:07:27.640 and i said i feel so stupid i just can't it's so hard and he said he reached across the table he put

01:07:34.480 my hand his hand on mine and he said you know you belong here don't you that changed my life

01:10:44.700 it for safe keeping so let's look a little bit at a couple of the decisions that the court has just

01:10:51.020 handed down yeah two pretty big ones and and actually a third sort of uh piece of collateral

01:10:56.640 damage that's i think particularly interesting uh to this audience uh first of all uh the law in

01:11:04.660 california uh was basically required places you know like a christian um counseling center on

01:11:12.780 abortion to or an adoption center to give advice to people who come into it posting notices on the

01:11:20.480 wall to say hey don't forget you can also get an abortion i mean typical california right um and that 1.00

01:11:28.740 has been overturned on a 5-4 decision um it has possibly wider um uh consequences yes a little

01:11:38.720 in that they're basically saying you can't really force someone to say something just because you

01:11:44.620 call it professional speech so what the way the law kind of works is to say well we're not saying

01:11:49.580 you say this as an individual we're saying this as your role as a doctor you have to say this as

01:11:54.660 your role as a lawyer you have to you have to you have to make make these notices no i'm an individual

01:11:59.780 first right they're saying you're an individual first you can't compel the person to say things just

01:12:04.500 because they happen to be a professional and you know holding a job which is interesting i could

01:12:09.360 see a wider significance the other one is the travel ban travel ban uh was upheld by the court

01:12:15.760 um and uh so that can go forward uh this is wow reflecting one of trump's probably best decisions

01:12:23.540 in that he got rid of steve bannon who designed the first couple versions of it and failed miserably

01:12:29.160 with them uh this one is the you know the third or fourth take at it and this one actually passes

01:12:33.780 scrutiny um and is now okay to go forward um there's interesting parts of this in that um

01:12:41.820 one of the big arguments there's several arguments the uh other side made which was one hey we know

01:12:48.420 this is about banning muslims because the president said it over and over again in the campaign and as

01:12:53.160 presidency basically the court looked at those arguments and said he yeah whatever he said he could

01:12:59.000 say whatever he wants um however that wasn't actually in the text so they basically dismissed

01:13:04.220 all the stuff that he said they did not say that everything he said was okay they said the stuff he

01:13:07.820 said had nothing to do with this because it's not in the text of it wow you know wouldn't that be nice

01:13:11.260 if the media started doing that yeah actually looking at the argument looking at what's actually

01:13:16.080 going on and going i don't really care what he says yeah he says a lot of stuff and uh some of it

01:13:20.880 you should listen to some of it you shouldn't we should get into maybe uh the the way that that

01:13:26.640 was written about because it's pretty important uh and it also you know seems to overturn in the

01:13:34.620 ruling another case a famous one um that has something to do with one of the biggest progressive

01:13:42.160 presidents in history oh my gosh oh my oh my i think i again oh my don't know really

01:13:48.440 fdr woodrow wilson don't tell me don't tell me i want to wait until open this i mean it's like

01:13:53.820 christmas now give me a hint no don't give me a hint don't give me a hint let me dream

01:14:00.060 of what it might be and we'll come back with the supreme court in just a minute

01:14:05.880 glenn back there's a story today coming out a couple of things first of all california is

01:14:14.480 considering creating a fake news advisory group uh this a government group that the californians

01:14:21.700 are going to put together uh and uh they're going to figure out what's fake news what's not fake news

01:14:26.780 well that'll be helpful now also in the news today president trump uh still everybody is protesting his

01:14:34.580 now repealed immigration party uh policy he's now saying it is back to catch and release

01:14:41.340 every day we get a fresh example of outrage that is dubious or unsavory or sometimes now even

01:14:48.740 violent there was a graphic cartoon by occupy wall street just the last few days the abuse of floor

01:14:54.340 of florida's attorney general pam bondy she left a movie theater she'd been watching would you be my 0.78

01:15:00.320 neighbor and they're spitting on her and screaming at her similar abuse of department of homeland 0.57

01:15:06.300 security secretary kirsten nielsen the mistreatment of sarah sanders over the weekend and boy i just

01:15:12.660 have to say side note your honor i mean a group that calls itself feminist progressives do mistreat

01:15:18.260 an awful lot of women at least they have in the last week the bungled time magazine cover story which 1.00

01:15:23.460 saw the magazine use a photo of an immigrant girl being kidnapped from her parents which was false

01:15:28.980 the girl had never been taken from her mother but that didn't matter though time magazine concluded

01:15:33.680 it's the message that counts oddly enough a similar incident happened just again today alex wren

01:15:41.520 maxim's mexico cover girl in uh 2017 she's sports illustrated swimsuit rookie for 2018 she posted an

01:15:50.860 image of a sobbing child reaching through the chain link fence and she writes i'm effing disgusted right

01:15:57.480 now yes but are you are you wearing a bikini uh or would that be sexist of me to notice that she's 1.00

01:16:04.860 wearing a bikini if she's on the cover of sports illustrated i don't even know the rules anymore 1.00

01:16:09.600 the assumption is that she had posted evidence of a child being taken from their parents at the u.s

01:16:16.000 border but it wasn't until after the tweet went viral that people realized uh no that that uh that

01:16:22.440 photo has nothing to do with the current border situation not even close the photo was actually

01:16:26.520 taken last year for a metro uk article titled thousands of children separated from parents

01:16:33.840 during battle to free mosul from isis 0.96

01:16:37.820 now again i don't know you're wearing a swimsuit i mean she's a sports illustrated swimsuit model 0.92

01:16:47.300 who gives a flying crap what she has to say well strange as it is her tweets can have a real world 0.65

01:16:55.480 effect that is both divisive and precarious before wren deleted the tweet it had garnered 16 300 retweets 0.98

01:17:05.420 and 50 300 likes with roughly 12.2 million followers on instagram and 1.5 million followers on twitter

01:17:15.240 she had the ability to spread a false message to influence public opinion 1.00

01:17:21.740 i wonder if this is the kind of fake news that the new california board will be looking for

01:17:31.200 it's tuesday june 26th you're listening to the glenn beck program

01:17:43.360 all right supreme court rules 5-4 to uphold the travel ban now there's a couple of things

01:17:51.600 in these we're just going to go through them here uh the there are three uh decisions that have come

01:17:58.000 out right so just two big ones here yeah so let's let's uh let's go through uh what the supreme court

01:18:04.520 has just decided so there's a law in california uh basically that required uh you know some like an

01:18:11.900 adoption center or a christian counseling center to post uh notices hey did you guys know that you

01:18:18.900 could also get an abortion instead of going through adoption they wanted to alert people that they

01:18:23.120 could instead abort their children rather than get them for adoption this is a person who's already 0.67

01:18:27.340 walked into an adoption center we're trying to talk them out of adoption and get them over to the 0.93

01:18:32.700 abortion center now you can make that point if you'd like no you're certainly covered by the first

01:18:36.680 amendment to make that argument but you also can't make the argument that i want them rare

01:18:41.200 safe and legal no they did they've given up right it's just safe and legal and honestly like i don't

01:18:46.900 know that they care about safe really i think they care about legal but the the they are selling the

01:18:54.020 body parts that's true it's a good point they don't care about any of it they're all lying let's put

01:18:57.860 it that way so that they can make that argument you could say hey we think abortion is a wonderful

01:19:01.500 argument we can't force a catholic charity for example to say they have to say that abortion is

01:19:07.880 a great option for you um and that's you know your your compelling speech now uh it clarence thomas

01:19:14.740 wrote the decision um as we know on this program one of the basic tenets of this program is that

01:19:19.300 clarence thomas continues to be awesome um so we have to interview i want to interview him i don't i

01:19:25.620 don't think he should do that interview i advise against it yeah no i mean it wouldn't be an

01:19:28.420 intelligent interview but and he wouldn't take it but i want to interview no he would be i mean

01:19:32.660 fantastic yeah he's so i mean so smart and yeah we he's the most i i potentially the most important

01:19:38.880 man in america right now yeah he writes and this is a great summary of what he wrote the ninth circuit

01:19:44.260 uh did not apply strict scrutiny because this it concluded that the notice regulates professional

01:19:49.880 speech but this court has never recognized professional speech as a separate category of speech subject to

01:19:57.920 different rules speech is not unprotected merely because it is uttered by professionals

01:20:03.740 he's just awesome uh so that one is a great you know it's great five four uh down the line there

01:20:11.600 as you might expect with a decision like that um and it does wind up being the correct one i think

01:20:17.560 clearly you know i mean i think there's it's absolutely clearly the right decision uh and one i'm

01:20:23.880 very excited about um on the other side of this travel ban it's going to get a lot more uh press

01:20:28.180 than the abortion ruling um and it's also important the decision uh uh goes through and says the travel

01:20:34.380 ban can go forward uh there's a lot of nuance to it and some interesting uh things inside of it first

01:20:39.540 of all um one of the main arguments made by people by hawaii trying to say hey the travel ban should

01:20:45.840 not exist one of their main arguments was we know this wouldn't be constitutional if it was done

01:20:52.340 based on religion and we think that it was based on religion and here's our evidence donald trump

01:21:01.360 called it a muslim ban about 5 000 times okay here's all the people in his administration who

01:21:05.860 called it a muslim ban here's all the times he said it was to ban muslims blah blah blah blah blah blah

01:21:10.680 what the court said is they actually looked at those arguments and they said okay we you're right

01:21:16.660 donald trump did say those things however it's a it's not technically in the writing it's not

01:21:24.160 technically in what they call the proclamation which is what this is to uh what the travel ban is

01:21:28.800 so they're basically saying yeah it's his opinions aside we're not art we're not ruling on whether those

01:21:35.620 are good opinions or whether they're right or wrong what we're saying is they're not in here

01:21:41.000 technically and a lot of that's because it's the third or fourth version of so think of the far

01:21:45.780 reaching um uh ramifications of that because what he's saying here is that just be called because

01:21:55.080 it's called the patriot act doesn't mean it's patriotic right and that's at least the name of

01:22:01.780 the act i mean yeah yeah yeah no it's true i i think i would have loved this standard to be applied to

01:22:06.800 the obamacare ruling which it was not now of course clarence thomas didn't write that he dissented in

01:22:11.940 that opinion but i mean the same standard as applied to obamacare says you can't change a fee

01:22:17.700 to a tax or a tax to a fee after it's been written uh you can't you can't change the way subsidies are

01:22:26.420 given out afterwards because you think it's what they they probably meant that was the whole both of

01:22:32.940 the main obamacare rulings were decided on the basis that we think they meant this so therefore

01:22:38.460 it is that it's really weird because um you even asked them in those particular case you even asked

01:22:45.220 them and they told you yeah well yeah i kind of kind of screwed that one yeah two separate cases and

01:22:52.020 both times roberts was there saying you know we think they meant this now roberts gets on board with

01:22:56.960 this ruling he's on the correct side of uh or the i guess the conservative side depending on your

01:23:02.400 viewpoint of this particular ruling he's with thomas so in the 5-4 decision he's he here embraces

01:23:09.560 the idea that you shouldn't just insert things that you think they meant into a rule a law a

01:23:16.960 proclamation um that was to me completely different than what he said last time but uh in this particular

01:23:23.980 case it may uh uh help if you were if you like the travel ban all right so you promised you promised

01:23:31.320 some candy i did you you promised me that this has far-reaching possible far-reaching ramifications

01:23:40.040 it overturns something of real historical significance at least i think it does and you

01:23:47.120 tell me you're nobody but i can hope you can hope all right you tell me all right the idea one of the

01:23:53.340 other arguments made by hawaii uh in an attempt to overturn the travel ban was to say this is

01:23:59.540 basically the japanese internment camps okay you're taking people based on some group and you're

01:24:07.460 punishing all of them at the same time okay what the court said was wait a minute this is not the

01:24:13.160 same as japanese internment camps you can't compare the two one's about foreign nationals asking for a

01:24:18.420 privilege of admission the other is about citizens losing rights uh in their actual citizens uh in a

01:24:25.480 what they call a morally repugnant way however they go on uh to talk about uh of the let me read this

01:24:33.560 part for you forcible relocations of u.s citizens to concentration camps solely and explicitly on the

01:24:39.280 basis of race is objectively unlawful and outside the scope of presidential authority

01:24:44.620 now what's interesting about that is this is the reason why they were able to do the japanese

01:24:52.120 internment camps is a supreme court decision in 1944 which allowed for for that whole you know

01:24:59.060 disaster to take place so the argument here is this ruling as they call that the the uh the japanese

01:25:08.360 internment camps objectively unlawful and outside the scope of presidential authority

01:25:12.900 overturns the ruling that allowed internment camps in the united states um and that while you might

01:25:21.520 say well come on they're not gonna that could never happen again i know i know it's only happened

01:25:26.460 with two different presidents i certainly don't have to make that case to glenn beck yeah but i mean

01:25:29.920 to a lot of people will say well that's not not a big deal it's never going to happen again well

01:25:33.180 it has happened before multiple times it's happened all over the world is happening now in the world

01:25:37.280 right now george takai says it's happening on our border right now as we just found out we just heard

01:25:41.600 from george takai this is already going it's actually worse it's worse right than that uh so

01:25:45.300 that's a pretty big deal in that here is something that again from one of the biggest progressive

01:25:49.800 presidents of all time fdr one of the people who is consistently listed in the top five presidents

01:25:55.660 by progressive historians for interning an entire race of people multiple races of people by the way

01:26:01.900 multiple uh nationalities uh what we see here is i think and you know this is certainly not just my

01:26:08.220 speculation but other uh legal experts speculation that this essentially in effect overturns that

01:26:14.420 ruling they are saying that that was unlawful they are saying that that was outside the scope of

01:26:19.760 presidential authority that's really good i think it's really good because they did not need to go

01:26:24.340 that far um for example in the abortion ruling they go pretty far they say hey you can't force people

01:26:29.680 who are professionals to say things just because it's their job which is a big deal because that could

01:26:34.200 reach past just this one thing the masterpiece cake shop ruling that we talked about a few weeks

01:26:39.560 ago was the opposite it was very narrow and didn't apply to a large swath of these of these

01:26:43.980 arrangements so this i think is a is a much more further reaching um situation i will say this and

01:26:52.340 you're going to hear a lot about this if you want to tune into uh msnbc tonight and tune into a little

01:26:56.180 cnn later on today what you're going to hear a lot about is not the thomas ruling on this you're going to

01:27:00.540 hear a lot about the concurring opinion from justice kennedy now so kennedy is joins the majority

01:27:07.680 in this case in the 5-4 case and says yes the travel ban should up uh should be upheld his argument

01:27:13.500 essentially in his concurring opinion which he is alone in he basically says yes technically the

01:27:18.760 travel ban uh should be upheld however it's pretty mean and he goes through it's a two-page ruling it's

01:27:24.960 pretty pretty limited pretty mean i'm summarizing here all right but yeah he doesn't really say it's

01:27:29.680 pretty it's pretty mean okay he said we should we should re-evaluate kennedy's health if he said

01:27:35.180 right and you know what i think it's pretty mean and we're not a bunch of meanies no he he didn't

01:27:39.860 word it that way but it's essentially what he said he said a it's pretty mean b and other stuff and

01:27:47.580 other stuff no b the president shouldn't make this this thing as presented is technically okay for the

01:27:53.700 president to do there's a very low standard for the president to apply these types of immigration

01:27:57.200 restrictions based on national security so technically yes he can do it however he wanted

01:28:04.960 to make sure that everybody knew that a president and his job is to uphold the constitution and if

01:28:11.800 what he's doing is essentially rewording a thing over and over and over again to get it to pass

01:28:16.380 scrutiny when what he really wants to do is ban muslims that is wrong and while i think that is

01:28:24.020 actually i'm okay with that well first of all i completely agree with that point from right from

01:28:28.980 i think i'm okay with that however the larger scope of what people are going to read into this is

01:28:34.240 this is a a slap at the on the wrist of the president saying hey what you did passes here but

01:28:41.120 what you're doing i don't agree with or what you said you were going to do right what you said 0.95

01:28:47.420 multiple times what you're going to you know i'm going to ban muslims you can't ban muslims and if 1.00

01:28:51.700 you're just trying to play with the rules to try to get it past us that's the wrong thing to do i 0.87

01:28:56.100 can't stop you because i have a limitation as the court of what i'm supposed to do however what i

01:28:59.820 think of that is really wrong now of course you might say well who cares what he thinks he's you

01:29:04.680 know what doesn't matter if he's applying the law and he's and he's doing the job of the supreme court

01:29:09.120 it's not his opinion to say what's mean and what is it mean a you're gonna get a lot of media attention

01:29:13.500 on it so i'm just alerting you that that's going to be coming and when they have the quote from

01:29:16.980 kennedy saying it's mean yeah well then that's going to play i mean i could read it to you it's

01:29:22.520 two pages but basically what it says is it's mean yeah okay i got it in addition to that though um

01:29:28.100 it's going to lead to a lot of speculation that kennedy is not going to be stepping down anytime soon

01:29:32.620 because if what he says is yeah i have to approve that but what you're doing is wrong there's the

01:29:39.280 speculation that he's going to say well you know i can't i'm not going to step down at this point

01:29:45.320 and give this guy another supreme court pick if what he's going to do is this or these sorts of

01:29:50.980 shenanigans now i don't he's not critical of gorsuch at all and i don't think he has any problem

01:29:56.180 with gorsuch uh so i don't think that he's complaining about his his previous picks i think

01:30:01.420 he's saying hey watch how far you're going here um because i think if he's completely comfortable

01:30:07.520 with trump the idea is he's more um open to stepping down and he's been the one that everyone

01:30:14.180 talks about stepping down soon now everyone on the court's like 175 years old so any one of them

01:30:19.360 could step down at any time uh but kennedy's the one that's often tossed around and kennedy is no man

01:30:24.780 is the moderate right i mean you look at you look at uh uh ginsburg she is like walking death 0.85

01:30:33.360 i mean how old is she now ruth rpg ruth ruth like we know rpg how old is ruthie now she doesn't look

01:30:42.300 a day over a thousand she's she's not she doesn't look she doesn't look i mean her her mind is still

01:30:49.820 there and i actually have a lot of respect for her i don't like the way she rules at all but i really

01:30:54.980 respect her her and her the relationship between her and uh scalia is fantastic i love that they were

01:31:02.840 actually very good friends very good friends um she was born in 1933 so that would make her 85

01:31:09.960 well she she she doesn't look a day uh right younger than 86 okay

01:31:18.700 um but yeah i mean she just had a big documentary put out about yeah um and she's kind of a become a

01:31:26.180 a liberal lion s who's who would you compare her to because she she she's almost like a um 1.00

01:31:33.460 betty white you know how like betty white was always a popular she was very accomplished in her

01:31:39.060 job sure and then all of a sudden she became this sort of like she hit her celebrity hit another

01:31:44.560 crazy level and she's kind of just loved and respected the left loves her that way i don't know

01:31:50.060 if ginsburg would appreciate the comparison you know to betty white although i understand it

01:31:56.240 might be a little more gravitas uh because of her position but you ever you ever see betty white 1.00

01:32:02.060 no i actually love betty she's fantastic all right let me tell you about uh bitcoin cryptos most of the

01:33:37.500 and how it is all now starting to happen and what does that mean uh taking a look back at the

01:33:45.200 the long-term uh predictions uh of what was what the west was going to go through

01:33:53.400 and how it's on top of us right now and maybe people aren't really noticing what's happening

01:34:00.700 and they should tonight five o'clock only on the blaze.com slash tv back

01:34:05.300 you're listening to the glenn beck program we welcome to the program the one the only

01:34:13.620 mr pat gray hello pat how are you hello glenn i'm good good stew hi i'm well thank you for asking pat

01:34:20.400 good you didn't ask i didn't ask actually but i thought so uh what's on your mind today uh i'm

01:34:26.200 kind of impressed with the supreme court rulings two pretty good ones um it's a mystery to me why

01:34:32.640 they don't specify more things why they don't actually rule on on whether or not things are

01:34:39.720 constitutional they tend to rule on an ancillary issue you know well that's what they try to do

01:34:46.500 though i don't want them to let's definitively decide it and the travel ban i mean can we now tell

01:34:52.680 democrats that's settled law man i don't even want to hear about that anymore that is settled law

01:34:58.140 same with the uh abortion thing that the the ruling was that you don't have to tell them about uh

01:35:07.260 abortion as a possibility when uh a mother is considering adoption wasn't that the gist of it

01:35:13.800 you can't force speech on professionals just because they're professionals i mean that's amazing

01:35:18.640 that's because because of the way all of these things have been going no it shouldn't be but uh

01:35:24.560 but how does that work with the with the kind of the fuzzy uh you can colorado it looks like colorado

01:35:33.780 just misbehaved and made it about religion uh but uh you know maybe you can uh force people to make a

01:35:41.960 wedding cake well that's a professional too and your art is your speech yeah i think there's a lot of

01:35:46.660 inconsistencies here we mentioned the obama one before and that where they did say well sure it's

01:35:52.820 not the tax and the fee you know it's not in the document but but we know what they meant and therefore

01:36:00.320 now it's in the document it's the exact opposite of what they're saying here they're saying you know

01:36:04.920 and again this is clarence thomas writing it so of course it's better but you know thomas is saying

01:36:09.660 look you can't you can't do that and then in the travel ban uh case which in the travel ban case by the

01:36:14.620 way is roberts right i think roberts is the one who did the travel ban case so again like which is

01:36:19.460 bizarre i mean that was his it was his his ruling that said you can insert stuff into the bill if you

01:36:25.760 really want to you know there's a court there's no set number of supreme court justices it doesn't

01:36:30.740 have to be nine no don't don't don't it could be 12 or really one clarence thomas why can't we

01:36:38.240 just make him the supreme court it's a tad risky if he happens to die at any point

01:36:43.020 the next hundred years idea of franklin

01:36:45.780 it's just a thought you know i mean and it was a thought that was tried by franklin

01:36:52.420 roosevelt and everybody went crazy he just wanted to stack it with his people i'm just saying

01:36:57.080 you just want to eliminate i'm just putting one guy in there from a percentage standpoint you kind

01:37:03.180 of are stacking it pat so i tell you what pat we'll do that but we have to just draw blindly

01:37:09.400 for the name that gets that one slot no no okay no all right i think that's a good idea but it's uh

01:37:19.000 it's nice to have some sanity restored to the travel ban uh discussion because um as you were saying

01:37:25.660 earlier the argument against it was that it was it was just like the japanese internment camp yeah

01:37:31.620 yeah yeah um pretty soundly rejected that argument except they're not citizens oh and we're not

01:37:38.460 putting them in prisons oh and we didn't confiscate their property other than that it is exactly the

01:37:45.720 same thing well i'm sure george de kai would tell you that it's not as he said uh recently about uh the

01:37:52.820 and he was happening on the border he said in his he was he remembers being rounded up in an

01:37:58.380 internment camp and he was four yeah and he said uh i remember it and it was horrible but

01:38:03.720 what's happening on the border now is worse than the japanese internment camp that's such a an

01:38:09.620 asinine that is it's an insult yeah to the injury that was the japanese internment well i mean we did 0.53

01:38:16.880 give him 20 grand like 30 years later so oh yeah twenty thousand dollars that's great changed their

01:38:22.460 whole lives and the lives of their grandchildren generations of people imagine losing absolutely

01:38:28.120 everything and then coming home and you don't have anything you don't have anything your your land is

01:38:33.420 sold and you got nothing i i wouldn't even know where to start what to do i wouldn't either i mean that

01:38:39.480 had to devastate people can you imagine how hard it was to restart your life if the country

01:38:44.520 you know had just deemed that you were a possible enemy

01:38:49.600 and now you come back how did you even start your life again

01:38:53.360 how did you fit back into the community because they didn't give you anything to restart your life

01:39:00.060 no nothing hey sorry you were here for the last four years oh well i mean that's really what they

01:39:06.240 got until what was it late 80s or early 90s when we finally compass compensated the families twenty

01:39:11.840 thousand dollars each uh that would have been good at the time you know to help them get their stuff

01:39:16.800 back or maybe you don't take their stuff in the first place that might have been a good idea yeah

01:39:20.600 that's a good idea oh by the way they kind of harken back to this era with the uh the abortion ruling

01:39:27.020 as well and with thomas writing in the majority basically like you can't force professionals to say

01:39:33.300 things just because they're professionals we've noticed this in history you know kind of a guy named

01:39:37.940 adolph did this uh kind of made uh doctors around the country come up with forced to kind of agree on a

01:39:44.700 certain things like certain people were inferior for example um and he goes to the point of like

01:39:50.760 you can't a government cannot gather a bunch of a group of professionals and make them say things

01:39:56.700 or do things right like in the case of the bakery uh all the bakers shouldn't be forced to do that and

01:40:03.440 by the way thomas is very consistent he yeah he's probably one of the few that would be in his concur i

01:40:08.180 mean he's all he's he does what you want pat which is and i want as well which is don't just try

01:40:13.380 to make it this little tiny narrow thing say what the principle is when it applies i mean i'd rather

01:40:18.620 have them keep this the scope of these things narrow if it's not a larger principle but with

01:40:23.980 something like this where it's like okay it's in the constitution written very clearly that you

01:40:30.080 should have freedom of religion and freedom of speech it's two parts of this very blatantly you

01:40:35.400 should be able to do x y and z right um and that i think you should really you should rule as you

01:40:40.980 know in a more broad sense it's like you know they say like oh you know there's a roe versus

01:40:46.000 wade comes through like oh there's a right to privacy so i guess yes forever you can never

01:40:49.400 challenge that ruling it's like wait a minute how does this happen our rulings never get that sort

01:40:54.080 of treatment they're never treated like that well it's and it's a good thing otherwise uh the united

01:41:00.360 states would still be living under the democratic jim crow laws if you can't ever question the supreme

01:41:07.120 court you have to be able to you have to be able to including this one by the way where they basically

01:41:11.100 overturned the japanese internment case you have to be able to go back and say no and at least now

01:41:16.040 there's a is an idea that if anyone ever tries this again uh i mean i don't know how much value the

01:41:22.840 supreme court has in that moment but i mean at least there's some way to push back on it the other

01:41:28.100 thing that's pissing me off today is oh we're back to catch and release oh yeah yeah it's pretty

01:41:34.200 amazing what really well yeah we're completely out of room even though obama had double the people

01:41:42.460 detained well yes but there were much smaller people back then and they fit in there a lot

01:41:48.260 better uh do you know how big these people are some of them are 16 17 feet tall weigh 800 900 pounds

01:41:54.400 we don't have space for them anymore they were like eight inches yeah years ago yeah people were

01:41:58.480 eight inches remember what it was like in 2010 oh yeah they all see some people they all slept in

01:42:03.320 shoe boxes it was amazing it was amazing we had like a whole country full of lilliputians yeah

01:42:09.000 that were detained uh now you can't say that these are normal and gigantic people yeah you don't hear

01:42:16.020 us use the words little people anymore little people midgets little people you don't hear even

01:42:21.300 little people anymore and that was the politically it's just mexicans now really yeah that's now that's 0.99

01:42:27.160 okay yeah yeah yeah right except they're not anymore not anymore they grew or you don't call

01:42:32.920 them you don't call them you know little people or little people mexicans now no they're giants in

01:42:38.060 the last two years they've gotten extremely big down there i don't know what it is must be something

01:42:42.900 in the water so why they tell us not to drink it drink it that's right so what what what so are we

01:42:48.020 now for catch and release i guess i'm trying to keep up or if if you're on the conservative side

01:42:54.460 are you now that is such a good question yeah that's gonna be fascinating to hear today i bet you've

01:43:00.200 been just because i know i filled in for pat uh last week and was just berated with calls of people

01:43:05.160 really angry that the you know that there was kind of a turn back to a more lenient immigration policy

01:43:10.100 people really upset about it oh yeah they were just infuriated by they weren't the what i did get one

01:43:17.300 call i got one call i got a lot of calls i got one call who actually said you know what i'm kind

01:43:21.900 of annoyed we had a tough border policy we've just we just put we just turned it around based on media

01:43:26.440 pressure isn't that a problem i got one call one call about that i was fascinated to see if people

01:43:31.880 would call because i know in it in a in a parallel universe somewhere there's a guy doing a radio talk

01:43:36.080 show and he's getting berated by calls that a republican president has turned back from a tough border

01:43:40.860 policy to a much more lenient one based on media pressure that's happening somewhere in the ether

01:43:46.280 not here we've not had many calls about that that's in a place called 2006 yeah i know certainly

01:43:52.140 if mitch mcconnell did it we'd be getting george bush george bush we got calls all the time about

01:43:57.320 george bush was a globe globalist and that might just be people are you know more like for example

01:44:03.420 you know and there's some evidence here right like we just talked about two great supreme court uh

01:44:07.340 decisions that theoretically if you know if mcconnell didn't uh hold up the you know merrick garland

01:44:15.500 uh uh nomination from obama and then wound up getting a republican president and then trump

01:44:20.780 naming a very good justice seemingly in in gorsuch who's been very solid so far if those three things

01:44:26.580 didn't happen uh you would have potentially it could have got these both of these rulings could

01:44:31.760 have gone the other way and so maybe you're just willing to kind of overlook that stuff yeah no i mean

01:44:36.820 i i think we have to be able to get to a place to where we we don't overlook it but doesn't mean we

01:44:45.060 don't accept it doesn't mean we're like okay you know what i got this this and this which i never

01:44:49.640 thought i would get i will i'll tolerate this uh because it is about compromise you're never going

01:44:56.560 to get everything that you want um however that's not the way it's going that's not the way it is it's

01:45:01.840 it's i'm i'm thrilled with this this is the that's the policy we're actually working for the whole time

01:45:07.520 what i mean you have to at least be consistent because there's no love catch and release that

01:45:13.000 you hated under obama you love that now i mean that's that's the way it goes too i mean you know

01:45:18.060 sam alito is a pretty good justice too and george bush never got the you know oh well yeah but he

01:45:24.800 gave us alito we never got those calls i don't think we ever got a call that said oh they gave us

01:45:30.120 alito has been fantastic conservatives didn't side with bush when he was weak on immigration but here's

01:45:35.040 but here's the thing let me just point out before i go into this um remember this is the one thing

01:45:41.720 that everybody called during the election we said okay what is the one thing is there anything and

01:45:47.340 what we heard was immigration immigration if he backs off of immigration but i don't think that's

01:45:52.180 true anymore i just don't think anybody's going to care i think that's true i mean i think that's

01:45:57.540 at least partially because something you've explained uh and uh illustrated by putting on the hat

01:46:03.400 right in that like the media is so ridiculous against trump that it's almost hard to you know

01:46:11.640 for a lot of people to get on the bandwagon of any criticism of him because you feel like he's had an

01:46:16.560 unfair shake though i will say that he was really bad on george to be bush too this is not a new thing

01:46:22.020 for for republican presidents no but you you now have it's more you have 15 years behind that yeah i mean

01:46:28.580 we've been doing this for 18 years now listen to this remember my my the reason why i put on that

01:46:33.440 red hat was to show say to the media you're driving people into his arms you're just driving them because

01:46:38.360 if you can get me to feel bad for this guy and feel like he's being picked on if you can get me to do

01:46:44.760 that right you're gonna you're you you're gonna lose everything you're so far off the track

01:46:50.180 here's the here's the latest gallup polls gallup uh has trump's approval at a new high since the

01:46:56.300 beginning of his presidency 45 that's the same as others at the same point barack obama 46 bill

01:47:02.980 clinton 46 ronald reagan 45 jimmy carter 43 support among republicans is at 90 among independents

01:47:13.060 he's up to 42 tied for his personal best and the only uh and only the fourth week in his presidency

01:47:20.180 that he has been over 40 percent trump's attacks on uh muller are working special counsel now has

01:47:27.340 a 53 unfavorable uh uh rating uh and a new high a whopping 26 point spike since uh 2016 trump thinks he

01:47:39.460 has the winning winning formula and he may be right the more he trashes a muller the more he trashes the 1.00

01:47:45.880 media and then the media trashes him the more republicans want to see save his back and the

01:47:53.020 more casual viewers see everything like the russia probe as messy and muddy but they don't see trump

01:48:00.780 as messy and muddy we're growing more and more tribal and this is what i was trying i wanted to

01:48:07.080 explain to uh to brian seth uh selter but they don't want to hear it but they are truly responsible
