The Glenn Beck Program - 'Changing Your Approach' along with Malcolm Gladwell - 10⧸4⧸18

00:00:00.000 The Blaze Radio Network, on demand, Glenn Beck.

00:00:08.220 Let me discuss Spartacus.

00:00:12.300 I am Spartacus, said the New Jersey Senator Cory Booker.

00:00:20.200 Cory, of course, we all know, is a truth seeker, you know, in every witch hunt.

00:00:25.960 He's the one going, I know the truth, and let's go seek her out.

00:00:31.640 He is a man, despite having admitted to sexual harassment himself, is signaling virtue at every step of the process.

00:00:41.300 I am here to watch over for you, you little Cretan people that I want you to vote for me. 1.00

00:00:50.400 Booker has been excellent at diving to new lows.

00:00:55.960 Throughout this process, I think he, well, the Russian judge even gave him a 10 on his dive.

00:01:01.820 His ability to debase democracy and human decency is amazing.

00:01:06.660 He seems, now maybe I'm overstating it, incapable of shame.

00:01:14.100 His latest show of arrogance, Booker admitted that he does not care whether or not Kavanaugh is guilty.

00:01:22.600 He doesn't see that as the point.

00:01:26.700 Here it is.

00:01:27.180 So my hope is that beyond the vicious partisan rancor that is going on, beyond the accusations,

00:01:35.420 we don't lose sight of what this moral moment is about in this country.

00:01:38.780 And ultimately ask ourselves the question, is this the right person to sit on the highest court in the land for a lifetime appointment?

00:01:47.560 When their credibility has been challenged by intimates, people that knew the candidate well as a classmate.

00:01:53.580 When his temperament has been revealed in an emotional moment where he used language that, frankly, shocked a lot of us.

00:02:02.880 And then ultimately, not whether he's innocent or guilty, this is not a trial.

00:02:08.300 But ultimately, as enough questions be raised, that we should not move on to another candidate.

00:02:16.680 And that long list put together by the Heritage Foundation and the Federalist Society, move on to another candidate.

00:02:21.980 Because ultimately, the Supreme Court is not an entitlement.

00:02:26.660 Just because you went to Yale or a president of your class doesn't entitle you to the Supreme Court.

00:02:31.580 This is a sacred institution.

00:02:33.460 And the people that should be on it, whether you disagree with their political order.

00:02:37.340 So, Booker, what he's saying here is, quote, ultimately, it is not about whether he is innocent or guilty.

00:02:44.560 This is not a trial.

00:02:46.760 So, wait a minute.

00:02:48.360 Then why did we go through this process if it doesn't matter?

00:02:53.100 The next line is a riot.

00:02:55.360 The people who are on the Supreme Court should preserve the integrity of the court

00:02:59.820 and be beyond reproach of these difficult partisan times.

00:03:03.780 But those of us in the Congress and Senate, I'm Spartacus!

00:03:09.500 Party!

00:03:11.180 Wow.

00:03:12.540 Does this guy realize that his poisonous and calculated antics have largely inflamed the integrity of the court,

00:03:21.040 the integrity of the process,

00:03:23.000 that his outlandish behavior is beyond reproach and unique in American history?

00:03:30.600 That his divisive tactics have made these difficult partisan times more difficult and more partisan?

00:03:39.960 No.

00:03:41.240 No.

00:03:41.760 I really don't think he knows.

00:03:43.560 I really don't.

00:03:44.720 Because he is certain.

00:03:47.180 He is certain that he is correct.

00:03:49.740 100% without a doubt, he sleeps well because he knows the truth.

00:03:57.100 That is the sickness in our society.

00:04:00.500 Certainty.

00:04:01.540 Because when you're certain, if you disagree with me, you have nothing to teach me.

00:04:06.360 You're just a rube or worse, you're dangerous and need to be stopped.

00:04:11.780 Hello, China.

00:04:13.100 Here we come.

00:04:15.420 Booker serves as a perfect representation of the left's approach on this.

00:04:19.620 You badger Kavanaugh for literally hours, days, weeks on end.

00:04:24.200 You prod.

00:04:25.180 You antagonize.

00:04:26.360 You harass him.

00:04:27.600 You destroy his career.

00:04:30.160 You do everything under the sun except waterboard him.

00:04:34.440 And the moment he reacts and says, enough is enough,

00:04:39.240 you then say, oh my gosh, look at that.

00:04:40.980 We're right all along.

00:04:41.840 This is classic victim shaming and blaming.

00:04:48.220 This instills confirmation bias.

00:04:52.220 They are not interested in the truth.

00:04:54.560 They do not care about reality.

00:04:56.880 All they understand is orange man bad.

00:04:59.940 It's going to backfire on them.

00:05:03.320 But I will tell you, what's happening in Washington right now with the Democratic Party is far scarier than any dystopia they pretend to foresee.

00:05:16.360 It's Thursday, October 4th.

00:05:25.060 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:05:26.900 I want to talk to you a little bit about the book Addicted to Outrage today.

00:05:33.120 If you have read it or listened to it on audiobook, I want to talk to you about it.

00:05:38.220 We're going to we're going to do this again next week.

00:05:40.540 We were going to dedicate the show to this today, but we have Malcolm Gladwell, and I just don't want to cheat him on time.

00:05:46.500 And I don't want to cheat the book on time either, because there's a lot in there we have to discuss.

00:05:51.400 So Malcolm Gladwell is joining us next hour.

00:05:53.680 We will take your phone calls if you've read the book, if you have and you have, you know, something that you disagree with or, you know, you found really, really interesting or you want clarification on.

00:06:05.720 You can call 888-727-BECK if you make it on the air today or we're going to take some of these calls next week as well.

00:06:12.440 You will get a signed autographed copy of the book or of the audio, whichever you prefer.

00:06:19.120 Would you say there's a pretty direct tie between the stuff you talk about in the book and what we're seeing over the past few days off of the Kavanaugh thing?

00:06:27.240 Are you are you?

00:06:28.480 I hope you have recognized this and seen this.

00:06:31.980 This vindicates the book 110 percent.

00:06:36.260 What's happened because, as I've said, since since the trial or the hearing last week, the Republicans are playing this perfectly.

00:06:46.440 I have not seen the Republican Party ever behave in a way that I thought 10 from the American judge, 10 from me.

00:06:56.920 And this fits exactly to my point in Addicted to Outrage.

00:07:04.280 People think that and this is why it's taken the book to be able to.

00:07:10.320 It's taken me a year and I wrote I wrote the book once and then I rewrote it a second time because it wasn't right because I learned so much as I was writing it.

00:07:17.900 And the the point of the book, people look and say, that's a surrender.

00:07:25.380 You want us to surrender?

00:07:26.980 No, I don't.

00:07:28.520 I don't.

00:07:30.000 I want you to change your approach because that's the path to winning.

00:07:34.700 Now, let me show you in the book.

00:07:36.780 You will see it without Kavanaugh.

00:07:38.200 I wish Kavanaugh had happened before the book because I would have used this as the case.

00:07:44.020 First, lock yourself onto the truth, but be open enough for new information so you don't just stay blind.

00:07:56.020 If there is new information, you have to take that into consideration.

00:08:00.380 Right.

00:08:01.680 But you don't surrender what you know to be true.

00:08:06.580 So now let's watch what what happened with Kavanaugh for the first time a president.

00:08:12.160 This time it's it's Donald Trump took one of the bravest positions I think I've seen a president do.

00:08:21.160 This was I think this was worse than Clarence Thomas, because we are in the me to society where you just go along with it.

00:08:31.060 You don't chain.

00:08:31.900 You don't defend.

00:08:33.340 You're just everybody just blindly goes.

00:08:35.500 Oh, my gosh.

00:08:36.000 Yes, he did it.

00:08:36.620 He's a pariah.

00:08:38.480 So the stakes are higher than they were in 1991.

00:08:43.700 And also that the society has changed.

00:08:48.120 Remember, we were still tolerating, you know, monkey business and sexual harassment and everything else.

00:08:54.080 That wasn't what it is.

00:08:55.360 Now, the hierarchy has changed.

00:08:58.400 The power structures have changed.

00:09:00.560 Now, you must blindly believe the woman and you've seen people. 0.75

00:09:06.340 I mean, look at the hits we took on Bill O'Reilly because I said Bill O'Reilly.

00:09:09.780 I'm sorry.

00:09:10.600 I won't take it on somebody else's word.

00:09:14.780 I've worked with him.

00:09:16.220 We've seen him in social situations.

00:09:18.500 It may be true.

00:09:19.800 I've talked to him personally.

00:09:21.320 I I've heard his explanation.

00:09:23.540 I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt.

00:09:27.900 Oh, my gosh.

00:09:28.860 The world ended when I did that.

00:09:31.080 OK, I lost friends over that.

00:09:34.100 OK, well, whatever.

00:09:35.660 So you do not surrender.

00:09:38.260 But as I said with Bill O'Reilly, if I find new information and Bill O'Reilly actually is that dude, I'm going to be the first to torch him.

00:09:47.980 I've heard you say that to his face or on the phone.

00:09:51.200 Yeah.

00:09:51.540 You know, you've said it to him.

00:09:52.760 Yeah.

00:09:53.320 Look, if if this turns out to be something that I cannot be associated with, I'm going to torch you.

00:09:58.500 Absolutely.

00:09:59.220 Yeah.

00:09:59.600 And he was he was fine with that.

00:10:00.980 Right.

00:10:01.320 And so what did the Republicans do first?

00:10:03.680 They stood with Kavanaugh because they believed he had a right to answer these charges, but they didn't mock her.

00:10:14.560 They did say this is a sham because look at the facts.

00:10:20.080 If they would have if she would have appeared during the hearings and you said, well, this is a sham because look how it appeared.

00:10:29.000 No, no, no, no.

00:10:29.740 No, there's still time.

00:10:30.580 But because it came out in the 11th hour, there were facts that led the Republicans to say, and I think any human to say, OK, wait a minute.

00:10:39.900 I'm a slowdown on this.

00:10:43.540 But what did we do?

00:10:45.640 The Republicans then said, let's hear her. 0.94

00:10:50.220 They were gracious to her.

00:10:52.260 They said, we'll come see you.

00:10:54.260 What happened?

00:10:55.100 The Democrats lied.

00:10:56.920 The Democrats threw flaming insults to anyone who said that the Republicans had invited her.

00:11:07.220 And she said, no, you are a monster.

00:11:10.680 The Republicans did not respond in kind.

00:11:15.980 Then they sat down and they listened to her.

00:11:19.520 Did you see the way that she was treated in the line of questioning? 0.58

00:11:25.500 Nobody rolled their eyes on the right.

00:11:28.220 Nobody mocked her while she was there.

00:11:31.180 Everyone was deferential.

00:11:33.020 Everyone was kind to her.

00:11:35.380 Everyone wanted her to feel comfortable to speak in case she had something actual to present.

00:11:43.860 Most Republicans went into watching those hearings with an open mind.

00:11:50.980 I listened to her and I thought, OK, she has some credibility here.

00:11:55.680 Now, as time has gone on, that has gotten less and less as more facts have come out.

00:12:01.280 But I wanted to hear Kavanaugh.

00:12:03.400 If Kavanaugh didn't have a strong response, I would have probably been and said, you know, I don't know.

00:12:10.060 I think Kavanaugh is I don't know.

00:12:13.860 I was at least willing to consider that point.

00:12:19.460 Kavanaugh spoke.

00:12:20.640 I said, I believe Kavanaugh out of the two of them, I believe.

00:12:24.600 Then it came to the FBI.

00:12:26.840 They said, look, it's just I mean, you can't give us seven days.

00:12:31.300 Just give us seven days.

00:12:33.600 OK, I'm not for it because I know what the Republic or the Democrats are actually doing, which they did.

00:12:40.360 But OK, Jeff Flake said seven days.

00:12:42.540 So we gave him seven days.

00:12:43.840 It's still not good enough for them.

00:12:46.760 But nowhere has the Republican Party up until and this is debatable up until Donald Trump mocked her the other night.

00:12:57.600 And I don't think he did.

00:12:58.860 He mocked the process.

00:13:00.320 He mocked her evidence.

00:13:02.480 He didn't mock her.

00:13:03.640 He mocked the evidence.

00:13:05.620 The evidence is mockable.

00:13:08.420 The Democrats are mockable.

00:13:11.420 But you'll notice no one in the Republican Party has has taken her apart, called her names or anything else.

00:13:19.340 What they did do is they sided with righteous indignation.

00:13:27.280 If they continue to stand with righteous indignation based on evidence and facts, what's happening?

00:13:36.020 You're seeing you're seeing a shift in the polls.

00:13:39.100 You're seeing people start to say, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

00:13:43.360 You're starting to see people back the Republican Party.

00:13:46.840 You're seeing people start to back this entire process as being a sham because we allowed the people to come up with that.

00:13:57.140 We allowed the people, we just said, let's look for facts and the facts will speak for themselves.

00:14:04.720 But you will you will not be able to do that if you're punching back while you're looking for facts.

00:14:13.180 Now, this has never worked before.

00:14:16.660 That's what people will say.

00:14:18.140 Glenn, that doesn't work.

00:14:19.420 We always play the nice guy.

00:14:21.460 No, we don't.

00:14:22.620 We always play the nice guy and cave.

00:14:25.640 I am not suggesting that we cave.

00:14:29.340 I'm suggesting you stand immovable in that storm unless facts change.

00:14:37.480 If they change, you move.

00:14:40.020 If the facts remain where the facts are, you don't move.

00:14:44.660 You just don't punch people in the face.

00:14:47.640 You don't become them.

00:14:49.920 I do not want to be Cory Booker.

00:14:53.020 I do not want to be somebody.

00:14:55.180 You know, Jonah Goldberg pointed out in an essay he wrote yesterday that I thought was really good.

00:15:00.960 The press keeps asking the Democratic senators, well, seven days, the FBI did this.

00:15:07.860 Will this be enough?

00:15:09.760 Will this be enough for what?

00:15:11.320 For them to still vote?

00:15:12.600 No.

00:15:13.940 They didn't have any intention of changing their mind.

00:15:16.620 The Republicans actually went into it saying it better be good evidence or people might change their mind.

00:15:25.580 I talked to senators who are not on the list of changing their mind that were thinking I might change my mind.

00:15:34.320 I have to I have to think about this early on.

00:15:37.400 I want to see what the FBI now.

00:15:39.200 While they haven't said any of that out loud, I've talked to them.

00:15:44.480 We were open.

00:15:46.840 Democrats were not.

00:15:48.860 Americans are.

00:15:50.180 That is the point of the book.

00:15:54.300 This shows you how to fight.

00:15:57.540 We can win if we are kind, open minded.

00:16:03.200 We listen to others, but we don't give in when the facts are on our side.

00:16:09.180 That's how to win.

00:16:13.280 That's I'm sorry to say it.

00:16:15.560 That's what the Enlightenment was all about.

00:16:17.460 Oh, my gosh.

00:16:18.840 That's why postmodernism is taking over, because we are abandoning the Enlightenment.

00:16:27.100 Postmodernism is designed to collapse everything in the Enlightenment.

00:16:32.640 Reason.

00:16:33.720 Facts.

00:16:34.300 Stay with reason.

00:16:37.100 Stay with facts and be immovable and win.

00:16:50.060 All right.

00:16:50.520 I want to talk to you a little bit about filter by filter.

00:16:53.360 B-U-Y dot com. 1.00

00:16:55.260 If you are like me, I don't know when I'm supposed to change the filter.

00:16:58.380 I have no idea.

00:16:59.560 I am the worst husband in the world.

00:17:01.760 Yeah.

00:17:01.880 I was talking to Tanya about that a couple of weeks ago.

00:17:03.300 Hold it just a second.

00:17:05.620 But I was unrelated to filters.

00:17:06.780 It was totally unrelated.

00:17:08.140 Is that pillow talk you were admitting to here?

00:17:09.980 I'm wondering.

00:17:11.660 So do you know when to change the filter?

00:17:14.820 Yeah, absolutely.

00:17:15.840 When someone's there working on the air conditioner, when it's broken down.

00:17:21.060 Right.

00:17:21.180 And I say, hey, what's going on?

00:17:23.280 They said, you haven't changed your filter in six years.

00:17:25.700 That's why the air conditioning broke down.

00:17:27.020 I have had actually a guy said, when was the last time you changed the filter?

00:17:31.120 And I'm like, oh, I don't know.

00:17:33.360 And he's like, yeah, that's the problem.

00:17:34.780 Yeah.

00:17:35.320 Yeah.

00:17:35.560 That's when I noticed.

00:17:36.560 So we're all very much alike on that one.

00:17:38.300 Both terrible husbands.

00:17:39.480 Terrible.

00:17:39.960 This is terrible.

00:17:41.320 Okay.

00:17:41.600 So filter by can help you with that.

00:17:43.500 You go to filter by B-U-Y dot com.

00:17:46.140 And they're all made in America. 0.93

00:17:48.160 They have all the different sizes, even though custom make it for you and send it to you in

00:17:51.900 24 hours.

00:17:53.240 What you what I really like is you'll actually get a discount if you just say, OK, it says

00:17:58.780 here in the manual I'm supposed to change it every six or eight months.

00:18:02.220 Can you send it to me every six or eight months?

00:18:04.140 They're like, yeah.

00:18:05.260 And so then it just shows up.

00:18:06.500 And so then when it's there, your wife can leave it by the door for a few days and then 1.00

00:18:11.220 finally she'll bring it in and change the filter. 0.68

00:18:13.300 OK, I'm just saying filter by saves you time, saves you money, you breathe better and and

00:18:20.840 your wife, you know, does it for you.

00:18:23.820 So it's filter by.

00:18:25.000 I don't think that's part of their process.

00:18:27.460 Filter B-U-Y dot com.

00:18:29.960 That's filter by dot com.

00:18:34.420 All right.

00:18:35.160 If we're going to take Cory Booker at his word, then we would have to say that Cory Booker

00:18:40.940 would definitely be against Barack Obama being president of the United States.

00:18:46.160 Newly released audio of Barack Obama 2001.

00:18:50.300 Listen to this.

00:18:51.180 I think I was a thug for a big part of my growing up.

00:18:58.280 I was, I think I was a very typical, gregarious, mischievous child as a young boy.

00:19:12.960 I didn't take school that seriously.

00:19:16.960 I got into fights.

00:19:20.320 Not into fights.

00:19:21.040 I drank and consumed substances that weren't always legal.

00:19:31.820 Yeah, I might drink a six pack in an hour before going back to class.

00:19:39.620 Before going to class?

00:19:40.980 A six pack in an hour.

00:19:42.100 In an hour.

00:19:43.180 In an hour.

00:19:43.800 So, Cory, now that we know that, would you like to tell us how bad that president was?

00:19:52.660 Just, just based knowing, you know, what he was like when he was a kid and his temperament.

00:19:58.260 He was a thug.

00:20:00.080 He got into fights.

00:20:01.420 I don't know if it involved ice, however.

00:20:06.800 Let's go to Brian in Colorado.

00:20:08.480 Hello, Brian.

00:20:09.040 How are you?

00:20:11.040 Hey, good.

00:20:12.160 How are you doing?

00:20:12.780 Very good.

00:20:13.800 Thanks for calling in.

00:20:14.940 What's on your mind?

00:20:16.500 Yeah, so quick question, just kind of going off of your book.

00:20:19.220 Now with the whole Kavanaugh thing going on, all the attention seems to have turned away from Trump because there's no outrage there.

00:20:25.460 All the outrage is with Kavanaugh.

00:20:27.180 I'm just kind of wondering how you see the interplay between that.

00:20:31.400 Because Kavanaugh is an easier target because Donald Trump has not responded in the fashion that they probably expected him to respond.

00:20:41.820 And the reason why I would imagine is because, you know, he doesn't have a good record on speaking about, you know, moral issues.

00:20:51.280 And so somebody has said, hush up.

00:20:54.740 And he has that has that has that has given him real power because all the Trump is is involved on this is.

00:21:05.140 Is he going to keep standing?

00:21:08.220 And because he has a spine.

00:21:10.980 Yeah, he's standing.

00:21:13.480 And that's what the president needs to do at this point.

00:21:16.780 And it is also allowed for the very first time.

00:21:19.900 It's given a spine to the Republicans, so they had to go after Kavanaugh.

00:21:26.060 What what else are they going to do?

00:21:27.220 He's the he's the target.

00:21:29.340 But Kavanaugh also has remained cool until it was really appropriate.

00:21:36.540 Had he come out and made crazy, you know, angry statements prior to.

00:21:41.880 No, no, but his his timing of being angry is not a sign that he has a reckless temperament.

00:21:51.860 It was appropriate for the time.

00:21:55.260 If you are a thinking human being and you you are looking at things for you're looking at the fact level,

00:22:03.180 you completely connected with Kavanaugh's opening statement where he said, this is ridiculous.

00:22:10.000 You have destroyed me.

00:22:11.760 You've destroyed my family.

00:22:13.100 He made a statement that was full of facts, refuting the things that she had said.

00:22:18.440 It was totally appropriate.

00:22:20.620 What's the result?

00:22:22.440 The result is I think Kavanaugh is going to win the nomination.

00:22:28.440 If he doesn't, it will be because a Republican or maybe a couple of Republicans lose their spine because there is there are no facts on this.

00:22:42.300 So they lose their spine.

00:22:44.080 If they do it, they will be the losers in this.

00:22:47.880 Does that help you, Brian?

00:22:49.100 Is that what you were thinking?

00:22:50.600 Yeah, that doesn't make sense.

00:22:52.080 It's just kind of finding the weak target as opposed to the strong one.

00:22:56.160 And because that's what they do is they exploit the weak.

00:22:58.440 And, yeah, so I appreciate that.

00:23:01.260 Do you want it?

00:23:02.120 I'm going to send you a book for getting on the air.

00:23:04.700 If you get on the air, we're going to start sending you books.

00:23:07.780 Did you want the book or the audio?

00:23:09.600 Yeah, the book, please.

00:23:10.840 I would love it.

00:23:11.580 Okay.

00:23:11.900 And Brian, B-R-Y-A-N. 1.00

00:23:14.900 B-R-I-A-N. 1.00

00:23:16.140 Okay.

00:23:17.440 Glad I asked.

00:23:18.120 Thanks, Brian.

00:23:19.120 Appreciate it.

00:23:19.640 It's in the mail.

00:23:21.480 Let me go to.

00:23:22.800 Liar.

00:23:23.280 It's still sitting right in front of him, Brian.

00:23:24.960 Don't believe it.

00:23:25.640 It's not in the mail yet.

00:23:26.860 What a liar.

00:23:27.760 Let me go to Phyllis. 0.71

00:23:30.080 Hello, Phyllis.

00:23:31.680 Good morning, Glenn.

00:23:32.920 How are you?

00:23:33.480 I'm very good.

00:23:35.720 The reason for my call is I wanted to tell you a couple of things.

00:23:39.520 I appreciate you taking my call.

00:23:42.460 And I've learned a lot from you over all these years.

00:23:46.640 So I thank you for that.

00:23:48.180 You're welcome.

00:23:48.620 I was a victim of sexual child abuse.

00:23:52.480 Sorry.

00:23:52.700 My father was a pedophile.

00:23:54.620 And I suffered for many, many years until I put an end to it.

00:23:59.080 And unfortunately, Glenn, no one believed me.

00:24:02.140 No one.

00:24:03.740 So, you know, I just kind of felt I have to deal with this.

00:24:07.640 I have to get over it.

00:24:08.980 It's not easy to do that.

00:24:11.040 But I knew that blaming my, you know, what happened was not going to get me anywhere in life.

00:24:16.440 So I understand in a way why no one, you know, talked up in those days, you know, 20, 30 years ago.

00:24:23.940 It was not.

00:24:24.680 It was it was it was not.

00:24:27.660 We weren't we didn't think people were like that and we didn't want to look at it.

00:24:32.340 If it was, it's horrible that we've made good progress on that.

00:24:37.220 Yes, we have.

00:24:38.280 However, we've swung from one end all the way to the other with no middle ground.

00:24:43.540 So what I'm upset about is that everyone believes this this doctor.

00:24:49.200 OK, just on her testimony, which wasn't even, you know, significant.

00:24:57.860 And there they just believe it because of the health they went through.

00:25:02.480 And to me, I don't understand why they don't listen to the facts.

00:25:06.700 And this is one of the things that's so disturbing about this.

00:25:10.300 Obviously, the Me Too concept is really, really important and really important.

00:25:15.300 Like it really it could make a real difference.

00:25:17.620 And instead, what it's turning into is here's a tool for Democrats to use to destroy people's lives,

00:25:22.980 which is an awful outcome or what a great outcome would be out of this, in my opinion,

00:25:27.500 is that going forward, people like Phyllis would would be believed, would at least be taken seriously.

00:25:35.000 Not believed, taken seriously.

00:25:36.920 Believed if they have the evidence, right?

00:25:38.220 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:25:38.640 But taken seriously and would not fear coming out.

00:25:42.640 Because if you had evidence and you had a real story to tell, it would be believed.

00:25:49.180 Correct.

00:25:50.060 And that's that's that is the outcome that I think rational Americans are looking for.

00:25:55.860 They want this to end.

00:25:57.580 They think this is horrible, but they don't want to go the other way.

00:26:03.220 This is become a vendetta.

00:26:07.040 You know, Phyllis, as you said, you knew that the anger wasn't going to get you anywhere in life.

00:26:11.340 So you had to deal with it.

00:26:12.640 If you deal with the is the situation, you have a chance to grow.

00:26:18.640 It is much better if the person who has done it to you has has, you know, reaped its consequences or has has, you know, admitted it at least or something.

00:26:31.760 It's hard when people don't apologize or don't admit it and they just get away with it is really, really hard.

00:26:37.100 But that's sometimes what happens.

00:26:40.360 But by by moving on with your life, you're not trying to convict every man.

00:26:47.820 And that's what's happening right now.

00:26:49.740 There are these women who have suffered this and have not healed.

00:26:55.120 And so they want everybody to be believed because no one would believe theirs.

00:27:01.040 And so they don't they don't you know, they don't know if it's true or not.

00:27:05.100 But nobody believed me.

00:27:06.580 And this woman's going to be railroaded. 1.00

00:27:08.500 Well, no, your situation is not their situation.

00:27:12.840 And we have to base it on facts.

00:27:16.060 Phyllis, thanks for your call.

00:27:17.480 AJ in Oregon.

00:27:18.660 Hello, AJ.

00:27:19.220 You're on the Glenn Beck program.

00:27:21.220 Hi, Glenn.

00:27:22.080 Hi, Stu.

00:27:22.700 I'm a recovering addict of outrage.

00:27:26.000 Okay.

00:27:27.880 So what I want to call and talk about is I've been listening to the audio book.

00:27:31.900 It's great.

00:27:33.000 And I kind of my wife and I kind of have like pivot points.

00:27:36.140 And it really hit me when I was listening yesterday is the social media outrage is what's driving this country more than anything.

00:27:44.720 Like you say in the book, you know, Tommy 36, Becky, whatever.

00:27:50.320 Right.

00:27:50.580 And it's got to the point where we've just our life is so much happier by not engaging with politics online.

00:27:59.040 Yeah.

00:27:59.440 And part of that social media mob, it's it's it got to the point where my wife and I just were like looking at each other.

00:28:06.320 Oh, my gosh.

00:28:07.260 I can't handle this.

00:28:09.160 And I, I even took on more volunteer opportunities to help with youth basketball, different things like that.

00:28:15.440 And I feel so fulfilled now.

00:28:17.860 You get did you give up social media or did you did you just cut down on it?

00:28:23.660 I cut down on the outrage, the absolute engaging with some family members that were progressive, where you could you couldn't even talk to.

00:28:36.120 There's like beating your kid against a brick wall.

00:28:39.420 It was so frustrating.

00:28:40.760 I mean, we don't even when we go to family dinners, we don't even talk about politics.

00:28:46.860 And we're all you know, a lot of us are constitutional conservatives.

00:28:49.840 But we don't even talk about it because it's so bad right now.

00:28:54.260 It's it's what's it this book is perfect.

00:28:57.700 It's perfectly titled.

00:28:59.500 It's perfect for I think everybody should be reading it.

00:29:02.740 Thanks a lot, AJ.

00:29:03.460 I appreciate it.

00:29:03.880 I'm going to send you a copy of the book.

00:29:05.640 Do you want the book since you were listening to it?

00:29:07.600 Yes.

00:29:08.100 Autograph to you.

00:29:08.820 Absolutely.

00:29:09.360 I'd like a hard copy.

00:29:11.320 And God bless you.

00:29:12.020 You got it.

00:29:12.400 Thank you very much.

00:29:13.700 It is.

00:29:14.560 You know, the next step is once you have once you have calmly done this and you have backed

00:29:22.300 up, the next step is to reengage with your relatives, but on bigger principles.

00:29:29.000 Don't talk to them about Kavanaugh because they'll immediately go to the talking points.

00:29:33.700 Don't talk to them about that.

00:29:35.620 Talk to them about the bigger issues.

00:29:39.120 Everything that we need.

00:29:40.240 Our unum is the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights.

00:29:46.300 E pluribus unum.

00:29:48.180 I've spent a lot of time thinking, OK, so what what brings us together?

00:29:51.940 What is the uniting thing?

00:29:53.420 What can we all agree on?

00:29:55.260 Well, not all of us, but a grand majority of us should be able to agree on all men are

00:30:01.900 created equal, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and the ten amendments to the

00:30:07.320 Constitution.

00:30:07.900 OK, let's start there.

00:30:12.020 That's what brought people here.

00:30:14.320 And that's what's being lost in the conversation.

00:30:17.100 We're arguing over parties and personalities.

00:30:20.340 That's not what Kavanaugh is really about.

00:30:22.520 It's not about did he do it or did he not do it?

00:30:25.280 Is she lying?

00:30:26.040 Is she telling the truth?

00:30:27.220 It is about are you innocent until proven guilty?

00:30:32.800 Do we presume innocence?

00:30:34.820 Do we look for facts?

00:30:38.240 Is there a system in society outside of the legal standards?

00:30:43.920 Where did the legal standards come from?

00:30:45.980 The legal standards came from a group of people, our founders.

00:30:50.300 And prior to that here in America, they came here and said, you know what?

00:30:54.380 I can just be taken off the streets.

00:30:55.840 I can be destroyed if somebody just says, hey, I'm I'm I'm the king or I'm a I'm a lord

00:31:00.940 or I'm a duke.

00:31:01.600 And this person did that.

00:31:02.740 They're believed.

00:31:03.600 And I'm not no matter what the evidence is.

00:31:05.980 That's not right.

00:31:06.800 I don't want that.

00:31:08.540 Those are the big principles.

00:31:10.760 And those are the things that we need to slowly start to reengage our loved ones with, because

00:31:16.380 that's where you find unity.

00:31:19.640 And so much of the media coverage right now is just trying to give a justification to

00:31:25.460 someone for destroying Kavanaugh's life.

00:31:28.100 It's like, hey, well, we think that there's a chance of this because of this.

00:31:32.160 Have you seen Ronan Farrow lighting his credibility on fire over the past couple of weeks on the

00:31:37.120 story?

00:31:37.540 Yeah.

00:31:38.200 First, they came out and said, oh, well, none of the New York Times, none of the other

00:31:42.000 major sources would run the story about the woman who said that Brett Kavanaugh exposed

00:31:46.320 himself of the party.

00:31:47.460 And then Ronan Farrow, who has built up all this credibility with real reporting on things

00:31:51.700 like Harvey Weinstein, comes out and people take it seriously because it's him.

00:31:55.300 When you read the story, you find out about two thirds of the way through that they couldn't

00:31:59.520 find anybody, anybody who had any recollection of this.

00:32:03.260 And in fact, the woman who even brought it forward said she couldn't remember who it was.

00:32:09.240 She couldn't remember it was Brett Kavanaugh.

00:32:10.840 She just remembered it a couple weeks ago that it was Brett Kavanaugh.

00:32:14.480 How on earth would it?

00:32:15.520 No one would print that.

00:32:16.420 And no one did.

00:32:17.560 Right.

00:32:17.920 Now that's lumped into your multiple accusations.

00:32:21.180 They followed up on it.

00:32:22.480 Now, in one of the most amazing stories I've ever seen, they said, Ronan Farrow, again,

00:32:28.820 comes out and says, we found a witness to this story, to the exposing himself to the

00:32:34.180 college party.

00:32:35.040 When you read the story, what you find out is it was all hearsay.

00:32:40.340 They don't have anyone who was there.

00:32:41.620 It was people who said they heard about it at the time.

00:32:44.420 So this one person comes and says, I have a witness.

00:32:46.640 I know this person.

00:32:47.440 They'll know about it at the time.

00:32:48.900 Listen to this quote from the story.

00:32:50.720 This is incredible.

00:32:52.740 The person who was in the story says, he initially asked to remain anonymous because he hoped

00:32:56.860 to make contact first with a classmate who, to the best of his recollection, told him about

00:33:01.280 the party and was an eyewitness to the incident.

00:33:03.800 So the source of this person coming to the New Yorker, I want to talk to that person and

00:33:07.400 confirm it.

00:33:08.420 He said that he had not been able to get any response from that person despite multiple

00:33:12.040 attempts to do so.

00:33:13.240 Okay.

00:33:14.280 Really shady.

00:33:15.220 Why would you put that in?

00:33:16.360 Listen to this next sentence.

00:33:17.680 Remember, this article was printed.

00:33:19.060 The New Yorker did reach the classmate and he said he had no memory of the incident.

00:33:26.280 Oh my gosh.

00:33:27.800 I mean, they are so desperate to get this guy off the Supreme Court that they will do

00:33:33.380 anything.

00:33:34.120 Ronan Farrow is lighting his career on fire right now to try to stop this.

00:33:39.380 Here is the best thing Donald Trump has done during this whole thing.

00:33:42.820 He has allowed the press without mucking it up.

00:33:48.880 Generally speaking, he's been pretty good.

00:33:50.220 Yes.

00:33:50.460 Without tweeting stuff and becoming the story himself, he has allowed the press to prove

00:33:59.600 everything that he says about the press is true.

00:34:03.880 That is the way to fight.

00:34:10.260 This is the way.

00:34:11.620 And it's outlined in Addicted to Outrage doesn't mean surrender.

00:34:17.120 It means change the way you're fighting and don't surrender unless the facts change.

00:34:26.360 car shield.

00:34:28.840 If you've taken your car in and and all of a sudden you're like, oh, wait, how much is

00:34:34.720 that?

00:34:35.280 Can you not do that to the car?

00:34:37.400 Can you just can you just undo everything you just did?

00:34:40.740 Because I don't have the money.

00:34:42.740 You know, you have a sensor that goes off and it's, you know, by the way, I think all

00:34:47.580 cars, I think it should be free.

00:34:49.240 If you have a rush car in and the sensor light is faulty, so you bring it in and it's showing

00:34:56.140 you take your car in for repair, but it's the sensor that's faulty.

00:35:00.000 So your car doesn't need to be repaired.

00:35:02.080 The sensor life that tells you it's faulty is faulty.

00:35:06.300 I think the car company should replace that one for free.

00:35:09.000 That should just be their fault.

00:35:10.080 That one's on us.

00:35:10.940 That one's on us.

00:35:11.780 Anyway, sensors can cost like a thousand dollars.

00:35:15.280 Not to you.

00:35:16.180 If you have car shield, you don't have to worry about those surprises.

00:35:18.920 I want you to visit carshield.com and find all find out all about this.

00:35:23.740 If your car has, you know, 500 or 1500 miles on it to 150,000 miles, it doesn't matter.

00:35:31.100 You when your warranty runs out, you still need protection because it's too expensive now.

00:35:57.100 You know, this opioid bill in Congress yesterday, the Senate passed it 98 to 1.

00:36:05.980 Mike Lee was the one that voted against, which makes me wonder what the hell is in it.

00:36:11.600 I am.

00:36:13.740 I'm really bothered by this opioid stuff in government.

00:36:21.320 Opioids are not the problem.

00:36:24.980 Okay.

00:36:25.500 Drugs were not the problem.

00:36:26.740 Alcohol during prohibition.

00:36:28.060 Not the problem.

00:36:29.560 That's not the problem.

00:36:30.620 That's not the way you deal with it.

00:36:32.380 Opioids have given people relief and many people reason to live.

00:36:40.340 That's not the problem.

00:36:42.520 Glenn Beck is coming live to talk about the right path forward and to make fun of the people standing in the way.

00:36:47.940 He might not be able to save the country, but at least we can all go down laughing.

00:36:51.920 Glenn Beck Live.

00:36:52.900 The Addicted to Outrage Tour.

00:36:54.760 On tour this fall.

00:36:57.520 Glenn Beck.

00:36:59.020 The FBI investigation into Brett Kavanaugh has now been completed.

00:37:03.960 It was delivered to Grassley at 3 a.m.

00:37:07.260 And all of the senators, both left and right, are going to be able to read it this morning.

00:37:11.900 Now, this marks the seventh time the FBI has looked in to this Supreme Court nominee.

00:37:19.280 Seven FBI investigations.

00:37:22.600 Imagine the information the FBI must have on Kavanaugh.

00:37:26.020 I mean, it's still not as much as Google, but imagine.

00:37:30.020 I mean, he's got to have his own floor in the J. Edgar Hoover building.

00:37:33.900 So what do we know?

00:37:36.760 Well, the question now is, will any of those secrets include any corroboration at all to Dr. Ford's accusation?

00:37:46.040 Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley tweeted three o'clock this morning.

00:37:50.300 He has the papers.

00:37:51.340 Republicans and Democrats are going to have equal time to study it.

00:37:54.780 If everything goes as expected, we should see the vote tomorrow, a procedural vote tomorrow, followed by a final vote on Saturday.

00:38:03.180 After that, I guess we can, you know, crack open a beer and drink too much or not drink too much and take a collective sigh of relief that this national nightmare is finally over.

00:38:13.940 But will it be Washington, D.C. is a nightmare?

00:38:21.360 The best thing to come out of this is Donald Trump's silence while remaining completely rigid on letting this happen.

00:38:33.140 Let it go through.

00:38:34.660 Don't give up.

00:38:35.860 And then remaining silent because for the first time in, well, since he was running, he's not the story.

00:38:45.820 What's the story?

00:38:47.840 How insane everyone else has become.

00:38:52.920 His silence has allowed the press to prove absolutely everything he has said about the press to be true.

00:39:03.740 Capitol Police have arrested dozens of out of control leftist additional officers have been called in to maintain order in the Senate office buildings.

00:39:14.520 Protesters are screaming.

00:39:16.060 They're yelling.

00:39:16.660 They're blocking senators as they walk in the hall.

00:39:19.780 Senator Susan Collins has has been seen escorted now with a full on security detail.

00:39:26.420 Republicans are getting harassed at restaurants and their homes.

00:39:29.880 While the Democrats are encouraging this, they are also saying that the temperament of Kavanaugh is so bad because when he was young, he threw a glass of ice in somebody's face.

00:39:42.980 This is insane.

00:39:46.520 Let's flip this around.

00:39:49.020 Imagine how the left and the media would be freaking out right now if the shoe was on the other foot.

00:39:54.200 Imagine if President Obama had been accused of something and the Tea Party began acting the same way the Kavanaugh protesters are.

00:40:03.040 Imagine.

00:40:04.260 Imagine if the Tea Party would have been screaming at Democratic senators, cornering them in the halls and the elevators, getting arrested by Capitol Police, following them to restaurants and their homes.

00:40:18.020 What would the story from the press be today?

00:40:20.500 I can tell you for a fact, it would not be whatever Obama was accused of.

00:40:28.300 It would be all about the violence, the vitriol and how the Tea Party must be stopped because they're trying to tear down the republic.

00:40:41.680 There would be calls to label the Tea Party a terrorist organization.

00:40:46.460 And you know what?

00:40:47.580 They might be right if that would have happened, but it's happening now and nobody seems to notice.

00:40:55.900 Imagine the media headlines on CNN and MSNBC and the New York Times.

00:41:01.160 But everyone seems just to accept this now.

00:41:04.960 Why?

00:41:05.660 Because they are certain they are correct.

00:41:09.860 And if you want to have a different opinion, you have to do whatever you have to do to stop that opinion from being furthered, from being explored, heard, listened to.

00:41:26.700 America, hear me clearly.

00:41:28.540 Obviously, if this doesn't scare you yet.

00:41:33.280 What will?

00:41:36.100 This behavior on the left, whether it's Antifa or whatever is going down in D.C.

00:41:41.280 is the new norm.

00:41:43.660 There is my small hope that when Kavanaugh is passed, when he is accepted and put on the Supreme Court on Saturday, the left will learn, hmm, well, that didn't work.

00:42:00.520 If he is not confirmed, they will learn this works and it will get much worse.

00:42:11.800 There are no calls for the left to de-escalate, at least on the left.

00:42:18.920 Rand Paul's wife wrote an incredible op-ed for CNN begging, begging the Democrats to retreat from this and de-escalate. 0.92

00:42:30.960 They're out of control.

00:42:33.260 What happens on Saturday after Kavanaugh is confirmed?

00:42:36.840 What happens when the next big issue comes up?

00:42:39.560 What happens if the Republicans hold the Senate and Ginsburg dies?

00:42:49.200 What happens?

00:42:51.420 Democrats aren't reeling these people in and condemning their actions like Maxine Waters.

00:42:58.360 They are egging them on.

00:43:00.340 And the media is, too.

00:43:02.400 It is painfully obvious.

00:43:04.240 They hold the violent left to a completely different set of standards than the, quote, violent right.

00:43:13.940 I don't know who the violent right is, by the way.

00:43:17.740 The violent right, I guess they would say that's the National Socialist Party.

00:43:24.380 But as anyone who actually has a thinking cap on, you know, socialism is something the right is against.

00:43:35.540 It's Thursday, October 4th.

00:43:42.580 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:43:44.460 David Barton is here, and David is a friend of mine who was for Donald Trump because he kept saying in my ear, Glenn, he is going to be really good on judges.

00:43:57.380 And I kept saying, David, you're an idiot.

00:43:59.060 He's not going to do any of that.

00:44:01.160 And you were exactly right.

00:44:02.900 And I was wrong.

00:44:04.100 Welcome to the program, David.

00:44:05.320 How are you?

00:44:05.880 Good to be with you, bro.

00:44:06.680 So, your guess on Kavanaugh.

00:44:10.660 It's going to go down.

00:44:11.840 I think it'll happen.

00:44:12.900 I think the ones that are sitting on the fence will go the right direction.

00:44:16.120 The one that makes me the most nervous is Flake because he's retiring.

00:44:19.520 Yeah.

00:44:19.720 Everybody else is going to face the voters and be accountable.

00:44:22.780 But Flake has been his own guy since he was in the House.

00:44:25.660 Yeah.

00:44:25.820 So, he's the biggest issue, biggest problem.

00:44:28.740 But that would make it 50-50, and then Pence goes for it.

00:44:30.880 What did you think about Ben Sasse's comments yesterday?

00:44:34.640 You know, Sasse, it's like he's like Mike Lee, but he's a lot more vocal than Mike is.

00:44:41.880 He's a lot like an adult in this thing that every once in a while gets you a reality check.

00:44:46.060 Yeah.

00:44:46.520 He goes off and has these great speeches every once in a while like he's teaching a bunch of kindergarten kids.

00:44:52.100 Yeah, yeah.

00:44:52.580 Well, he is.

00:44:53.240 He is.

00:44:53.760 That's right.

00:44:54.040 He is.

00:44:54.560 And I love him.

00:44:55.760 I mean, I did not see that in him before he got there.

00:44:58.740 Yeah.

00:44:58.920 And he's been an independent guy that has been an independent thinker.

00:45:02.540 I really like him.

00:45:03.140 He is positioned for, I think, 2024.

00:45:06.160 Yeah.

00:45:06.280 He's positioning himself in a really, in a good place as being a reasoned, likable, calm individual.

00:45:13.900 A thinking individual.

00:45:15.000 Yeah.

00:45:15.320 He's, you know, he's very reasonable in the way he does his stuff.

00:45:18.980 He teaches.

00:45:19.640 He's great.

00:45:20.060 So, David has written a new book with another friend of mine, James Garlow, This Precarious Moment, Six Urgent Steps That Will Save You, Your Family, and Our Country.

00:45:30.000 And, David, it's a great book, and everybody should read it.

00:45:35.680 Again, it's a book that is talking about the steps that you take right now.

00:45:41.860 And what I love about this, David, is let's just start on the millennial step.

00:45:48.140 I have seen this work.

00:45:50.940 You know, it's kind of my book is I put it into action myself in my own life, and I've seen it work.

00:45:59.300 You've done the same thing, and you've seen this work with millennials.

00:46:02.800 Talk about the millennials a bit. 0.71

00:46:04.280 Millennials right now are one of the reasons we have a precarious or a dangerous moment, because we have 242 years of being an American nation under the Declaration 231 under the Constitution. 1.00

00:46:16.480 No nation's ever survived that long.

00:46:18.540 And so we just kind of think we'll always be here.

00:46:20.360 And yet, at the same time, you have 5,500 years of recorded history, and there's never been a socialist nation that's increased freedom or increased prosperity.

00:46:30.140 And yet, right now, 75% of students in college support socialism above all forms of government.

00:46:36.000 We cannot survive if that becomes the belief when they become leaders.

00:46:39.920 In the same way, four out of five millennials believe there is no absolute moral truth.

00:46:45.240 Man, if we can't agree that things like rape and murder are wrong, you've got no chance for having a nation in the future.

00:46:50.780 You've got 53% of millennials who believe that free speech should be limited, 19% who believe that violence is the right response to free speech you don't like.

00:46:59.720 You can't survive as a nation.

00:47:01.500 So that's why we call it a precarious moment.

00:47:03.160 But when you look at millennials, they are really easy to change relationally. 0.93

00:47:09.500 They are hungry.

00:47:10.400 If you create a relation, a one-on-one relationship, they really don't care about your age.

00:47:15.060 They don't care about how you look.

00:47:16.460 They care about whether you're sincere.

00:47:17.800 And if you are sincere and say, and what we have found works so well is just asking questions because they really have had a load dumped on them by their professors and by the culture, and they've not thought it through.

00:47:29.680 And when you start asking them questions and not trying to win.

00:47:34.780 That's right.

00:47:35.100 Not trying to win.

00:47:35.840 Just think about it.

00:47:37.700 That's an interesting thing.

00:47:39.460 Let me ask you a question.

00:47:40.460 How does whatever, fill in the blank, they start to engage and, and they, I find that they actually, they actually, um, begin to move toward you faster and not, not just blindly accepting things, but because you're engaging them and asking them to think as long as you're not trying to win.

00:48:04.680 That's right.

00:48:05.040 Nobody does that in college.

00:48:07.980 They're being told what to think, join in, chant this.

00:48:12.460 And, and if you have any other thoughts, so when you challenge them, they actually like that.

00:48:18.840 It's the first time anyone has done it.

00:48:21.400 They, they really do respond to thinking well, and once it gets going, they are killer with thinking.

00:48:26.880 They are really, I'm sorry.

00:48:28.840 That's an old school.

00:48:30.140 Oh, I'm sorry.

00:48:31.420 Trigger warning.

00:48:32.020 That's right.

00:48:32.200 I can't say that.

00:48:32.960 Trigger warning stations, edit that out.

00:48:34.420 Yeah, that's right.

00:48:35.380 But they really are.

00:48:36.940 And they're the most, uh, of all groups in polling for the hundred years of being in the polling, they're the most relational group in American history.

00:48:44.360 What does that mean?

00:48:45.120 They, they respond more to relationships.

00:48:47.940 For example, they're the only group in polling that wants to spend more time with their boss.

00:48:53.140 Everybody else wants to spend time with employees or get away from the boss or whatever.

00:48:56.120 They want time.

00:48:57.080 They want to be mentored.

00:48:57.980 I mean, they, they, they have a desire to spend one-on-one time with people who can influence them and help them and thank them.

00:49:04.800 Now that's not necessarily their motivation, but what is interesting is they respond really, really well to that.

00:49:10.360 And so when you create a relationship that is a genuine, as you said, not trying to win, just a genuine relationship, you can make so much progress in turning them in a different direction.

00:49:20.500 And we've seen it ourself more with David Barton here in a second.

00:49:24.080 This precarious moment is the name of his book, six urgent steps that will save you, your family and our country, uh, uh, by, uh, James Garlow and David Barton.

00:49:34.040 You can grab it wherever books are sold.

00:49:35.860 And we'll continue here in just a second.

00:49:38.220 Um, first, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

00:49:40.460 It is gold line.

00:49:42.040 All right.

00:49:42.580 Let me ask you and David, I'd love for you to chime in on this.

00:49:47.080 Do you think that it is, um, reasonable that the Democrats win the house reasonable?

00:49:56.300 Possible.

00:49:56.900 Okay.

00:49:57.140 I don't think reasonable.

00:49:58.120 I think possible.

00:49:58.840 Okay.

00:49:58.860 Possible.

00:49:59.460 That's good.

00:50:00.040 Um, if they win, do you think it's reasonable that they will impeach the president?

00:50:06.740 I think it's very likely they will make an attempt.

00:50:09.640 Okay.

00:50:10.220 Uh, I'm not, not convict.

00:50:11.700 That's right.

00:50:12.220 Impeach.

00:50:12.440 The Senate's not going to convict, but they will make an attempt.

00:50:14.560 Is it reasonable to believe that they will demand testimony or the president's tax records?

00:50:22.020 Reasonable.

00:50:22.560 It's not reasonable.

00:50:23.580 It is absolutely certain.

00:50:24.960 Okay.

00:50:25.200 Certain.

00:50:25.840 Is it reasonable if they do that?

00:50:28.120 The white house will say no.

00:50:31.200 Absolutely.

00:50:31.740 So I'm certain.

00:50:32.640 If they do that, it will go to the Supreme court.

00:50:35.860 Is it reasonable to believe that they would then challenge Kavanaugh because of what he

00:50:42.400 has written or because of his testimony?

00:50:45.020 He is hostile, so he needs to be removed.

00:50:48.640 And that will put two branches of the federal government into disarray.

00:50:53.940 That's certain.

00:50:54.700 That's certain.

00:50:55.480 It's certain.

00:50:55.960 Okay.

00:50:56.540 This is what's coming.

00:50:58.400 Now, how good is that for the economy?

00:51:01.660 How good is that?

00:51:03.380 What do you think is going to happen for the next two years if we have Democrats in the

00:51:09.620 House?

00:51:10.040 God forbid, Democrats in the House and the Senate. 0.59

00:51:13.400 Goldline has put together a special pamphlet for you.

00:51:19.840 It's just information that you can just get online from them.

00:51:22.360 And they have outlined everything that they say.

00:51:25.900 They say this is going to happen.

00:51:27.540 This is going to happen.

00:51:28.340 This is going to happen.

00:51:29.240 Or it's at least very reasonable that it might happen.

00:51:33.140 And what does that mean for the economy?

00:51:35.740 You really need to read their their work on what does a Democratic victory mean to you?

00:51:42.580 And you can get it for free just by calling.

00:51:45.300 You can get your copy now at 866-GOLDLINE, 1-866-GOLDLINE or goldline.com.

00:51:51.740 If you don't think that we are at, as David's book calls it, a precarious moment, you're

00:51:59.720 mistaken.

00:52:01.040 866-GOLDLINE.

00:52:02.660 Read their important risk information.

00:52:03.960 Make sure gold or silver is right for you.

00:52:05.820 866-GOLDLINE.

00:52:07.200 Call them and get this pamphlet now.

00:52:09.340 I want you to know and I want you to I want you to hear this clearly and know that I

00:52:15.940 there are many things that I believe that I shall never say, but I shall never say the

00:52:20.260 things I do not believe things are not as bad as you think they are.

00:52:26.000 They are bad.

00:52:27.200 This is a bad.

00:52:28.180 This is a pivot point for our country.

00:52:30.060 And if we fall down on our job, it will change and it will go away.

00:52:35.240 And I think it will become very bad.

00:52:37.080 However, it's not the battle that you think it is.

00:52:41.480 You've been convinced by media and social media that everybody is thinking this way.

00:52:47.460 They're not.

00:52:48.840 David has a David Barton is with us.

00:52:50.340 He has a book out called This Precarious Moment.

00:52:53.660 He's written it with James Garlow, who's just a great, great guy and good thinker.

00:52:58.820 And they have the stats in the book and they have different things.

00:53:02.500 We've we're concentrating just for a second on millennials, because I know David has seen

00:53:08.340 it and I've seen it because we're doing it with Mercury one.

00:53:11.880 And when you present the facts to millennials, if you're not trying to win, they say, wait

00:53:20.380 a minute.

00:53:21.020 What?

00:53:22.440 David, talk about a few of the millennials that we have had in for our two week training

00:53:27.380 course, and they have actually come a little hostile.

00:53:31.380 So that's right.

00:53:32.060 Yeah.

00:53:32.400 We have a number that have come as skeptics and they're here to disprove us and show that

00:53:36.040 we're all wrong.

00:53:36.780 And it's all right.

00:53:38.160 You know, we don't we don't run from that situation.

00:53:40.700 We just embrace them and say, let's have a conversation as long as you'll engage in the

00:53:44.340 conversation.

00:53:44.800 And so we start asking them questions and, you know, they have their opinions, but we

00:53:49.760 just ask them questions.

00:53:50.700 And it's kind of like they sit back and I don't know.

00:53:55.180 And so once you ask the questions that lead them to the information, it's amazing to see

00:54:00.320 that they then take those questions and go back to those that taught them and change them.

00:54:04.260 We literally we have a girl that came in that, you know, learned all sorts of stuff.

00:54:10.140 She went back to her professor, started asking her professor questions.

00:54:13.120 He got all befuddled because he didn't know the answers.

00:54:16.420 He now has asked her to meet with him once a week and teach her, teach him what she learned

00:54:21.580 in all these classes.

00:54:23.260 It's amazing.

00:54:24.260 It's amazing.

00:54:24.900 And he said she wrote a report and he said, you are either a liar and you're going to get

00:54:31.700 an F or this is the best paper.

00:54:34.260 See me in my office.

00:54:35.400 That's right.

00:54:35.940 And he said, OK, I want to talk to you about your sources.

00:54:40.280 And she had him nailed down.

00:54:41.780 And he had never here's a professor that didn't know this stuff, an economics professor.

00:54:47.720 And he found out that founding father, John Witherspoon, had the greatest impact of any

00:54:52.740 person in American history on American economics.

00:54:54.880 And he didn't know that.

00:54:56.140 And she showed him that and then showed him the documentation.

00:54:59.080 And he said, OK, I want more because I clearly didn't.

00:55:02.680 But that's the thing of asking questions with the relationships.

00:55:05.180 And we take these these guys that come in hostile or otherwise.

00:55:09.240 And just because of relationships.

00:55:11.240 But and as we tell them, we have a lot of fun with them.

00:55:14.000 I mean, quite frankly, we tell them that sarcasm is our love language.

00:55:16.680 If we don't make fun of you, it's because we don't like you.

00:55:18.900 So, you know, we we kid and joke and have a great, great time.

00:55:23.320 But they come out transformed and they are some of the most mature individuals.

00:55:28.140 And these these guys are all it's in their mind to become leaders.

00:55:32.700 And I tell you, they are so, so good.

00:55:35.520 It is just amazing.

00:55:36.620 We were in a meeting in February.

00:55:38.780 We I don't think I've announced this formally.

00:55:41.820 May I, David?

00:55:43.140 Go for it.

00:55:43.640 We are going to do Black History Month, a museum here at our studios in February.

00:55:51.500 If you don't think that's a little controversial, but we have worked on this and we're working on it with the Lincoln Museum.

00:56:00.900 And it's going to be a little mind blowing and really, really eye opening to a lot of people on both sides.

00:56:09.000 And it's black history, but, you know, not all the black history that everybody knows.

00:56:12.960 Let's tell the black history that really nobody knows.

00:56:17.480 And that's going to be here at our studios in the month of February.

00:56:21.260 And yesterday we decided that because they're they're going to we're going to have docents.

00:56:25.480 We're going to have people that are going to tell these individual stories about these people in here on stage 19 as you come through.

00:56:34.740 And they're all going to be.

00:56:36.640 I said yesterday, let's get some of the kids that we've met.

00:56:39.420 They're even 15 years old that just will learn it and really know it.

00:56:45.400 It's really quite exciting to see millennials what happens when they're unleashed and told the truth.

00:56:51.080 David's new book, David Barton and James Garlow's new book, this precarious moment, the six urgent steps that will save you, your family and your country.

00:57:06.720 Grab a copy of it.

00:57:08.040 It is really, really good.

00:57:09.820 And I agree with the steps and all the way through it.

00:57:14.000 You are you are making the case using facts.

00:57:18.080 This is this is a book that you can take and read and learn all kinds of facts about the country that you didn't know.

00:57:25.040 For instance, let's talk about immigration, David.

00:57:27.960 Immigration, a fact we didn't know is until 1875, 1876, the federal government had no part in immigration.

00:57:37.520 Immigration belongs solely to the states. 0.95

00:57:39.840 When you came to America, you didn't move into the United States.

00:57:42.660 You moved into Texas or Maryland or Virginia or wherever.

00:57:45.700 And it was the states that controlled immigration.

00:57:47.760 The U.S. Supreme Court in 1875, 1876, two decisions said, hey, we think we'll take this over now.

00:57:54.220 And so the first time we have federal immigration is in 1892 when Ellis Island opens.

00:58:00.720 That's the first federal immigration facility.

00:58:03.260 Everything before that was the states.

00:58:05.220 We have no clue.

00:58:06.860 And then when you look now, the founding fathers were very good because Article One, Section Eight of the Constitution says they can establish a uniform rule of naturalization.

00:58:14.640 So they did.

00:58:15.360 They passed three laws, 1790, 1795 and 1798 said, OK, we can set the rule of naturalization.

00:58:22.080 Here's what you got to do to come to the United States. 0.81

00:58:23.840 And let's go through first that what they set forward.

00:58:28.720 The immigrant must have good moral character.

00:58:31.580 Are we doing anything to check on good moral character?

00:58:33.620 No background check.

00:58:34.700 And by the way, Ben Franklin said that when you came, you needed to have a certificate from a religious society attesting to your good moral character from the country from which you left.

00:58:42.920 The immigrant must not only support the Constitution and our government laws, but renounce allegiance to any other nation or loyalty to any other system. 1.00

00:58:53.340 Sharia. 0.87

00:58:54.080 Sharia. 0.87

00:58:54.520 And by the way, we had Muslims in America since 1619.

00:58:58.340 But to be part of the country, you had to agree to the Constitution, not come here to overturn it.

00:59:03.500 The immigrant must believe in the equality of all Americans to renounce and renounce any title of nobility. 0.99

00:59:09.580 So would I have to if I was coming in, would I have to declare that I was not a member of the press title of nobility or professor or a professor?

00:59:20.840 Yeah, that's right.

00:59:21.560 Okay.

00:59:22.360 There must be residency requirement of five years in the United States before citizenship.

00:59:27.560 Now, let me hit that one because I was really shocked about that.

00:59:30.800 In the Constitutional Convention, seven of the 39 guys who signed the Constitution were immigrants.

00:59:36.440 They were themselves immigrants.

00:59:38.240 And so Alexander Hamilton was one.

00:59:40.300 He came from West Indies.

00:59:41.340 Pierce Butler was another.

00:59:42.520 And these guys said, and I mean, the debates are great.

00:59:45.860 They said, look, when we got here, if we had voted, we would have voted the way that we were thinking from the West Indies and Ireland and elsewhere.

00:59:53.300 And Pierce Butler said, you should not be allowed to vote until 14 years here because you need to learn to think like an American. 0.81

00:59:59.940 Oh, my gosh.

01:00:00.560 Would that Texas needs to do that with Californians? 1.00

01:00:03.800 Oh, you're right.

01:00:05.140 Oh, Texans. 1.00

01:00:05.820 Texans.

01:00:06.340 I'm telling you, we're going to lose Texas because of the Californians. 0.99

01:00:09.600 They are just going to vote the way they voted.

01:00:11.740 And we are not the same place.

01:00:14.300 We're not the same place.

01:00:15.440 We're not.

01:00:16.100 And they think like Californians.

01:00:17.880 Right.

01:00:18.080 It takes a while.

01:00:18.980 So Alexander Hamilton said five years.

01:00:20.940 And that's what they went with was five years.

01:00:22.560 But you could not vote in America till you've been here five years.

01:00:25.860 Otherwise, you would turn this place into wherever you just left.

01:00:29.160 No anchor babies.

01:00:31.080 Citizenship goes from parents to child, not child to parent.

01:00:36.960 Wow.

01:00:38.000 Security risks can be deported and permanently banned from the United States.

01:00:42.140 The government must protect the borders during times of war.

01:00:45.440 States will have a definite role in immigration.

01:00:49.160 So that is what they that's what they see.

01:00:51.000 Original immigration law.

01:00:52.100 OK.

01:00:53.100 Now, I found it fascinating in the book that we have argued as if these things were not settled long ago.

01:01:02.240 We have argued common language.

01:01:06.020 How dare you insist as if this was just some idea that a bunch of racists had.

01:01:13.300 Yeah.

01:01:13.440 Ben Franklin is a great example because Ben Franklin talked about how so many Germans were moving into Pennsylvania.

01:01:18.300 And they were.

01:01:19.660 And he said, the problem is they're speaking their own language.

01:01:22.740 They're starting to create signs in German.

01:01:24.860 They're starting to create documents in German.

01:01:27.460 You can't have a nation if you don't speak the same language.

01:01:30.460 So Franklin was one of the first ones out.

01:01:32.200 Then Thomas Jefferson, the same thing.

01:01:34.180 He said, we have immigrants coming in, which is great.

01:01:36.180 And by the way, they were so pro-immigration that in the Declaration of Independence, one of the 27 grievances was we're separating from Great Britain because he's trying to stop immigration.

01:01:45.960 We want immigration.

01:01:47.360 It's just we wanted assimilation with immigration. 0.93

01:01:49.660 They were huge pro-immigration.

01:01:50.980 Yeah, assimilation.

01:01:51.840 I mean, let's.

01:01:52.720 Here's Thomas Jefferson.

01:01:53.960 They will bring with them the principles of the government.

01:01:56.160 They leave imbibed with their own early imbibed in their early youth.

01:01:59.760 These old principles with their language they will transmit to their children in proportion to their numbers they will share with us in legislation.

01:02:07.560 They will infuse it into their old spirit, warp and bias its directions and render it as heterogeneous, incoherent and distracted mass.

01:02:17.560 He says the solution.

01:02:19.740 It is thought better to discourage their settling together in large masses, and they should distribute themselves sparsely among the native for quicker assimilation. 1.00

01:02:30.580 This goes right with with this.

01:02:33.000 It seems to me necessary.

01:02:34.560 This is Franklin.

01:02:35.640 It seems to me necessary to distribute the Germans, the Germans more equally, mix them in with English, establish English schools that are now where they are now too thickly settled. 0.82

01:02:49.540 I am against the I am not against the admission of Germans in general, for they have virtues, their industry, frugality, blah, blah, blah. 1.00

01:02:56.440 They're great farmers.

01:02:57.320 He's just saying we have to get them to be Americans. 0.86

01:03:01.940 This is the opposite of what we're doing now.

01:03:04.680 No Dearborn, Michigans.

01:03:06.000 I mean, we want people assimilating.

01:03:07.820 We don't want them creating a parallel culture where it's almost a no gozo now for police.

01:03:13.120 Somalians in Minnesota.

01:03:14.920 Exactly.

01:03:15.660 And we've got groups in West Texas creating their own separate communities.

01:03:18.880 And that's not it.

01:03:19.820 It's assimilation. 0.62

01:03:20.800 You want to become an American.

01:03:22.800 You don't come to America to take over and move it to whatever your country was.

01:03:26.660 You come here to be an American. 0.85

01:03:28.300 Now, that's where the professors, the elite groups really are in.

01:03:31.740 Well, America is really bad.

01:03:33.220 You know, we need we need to be like Europe or whatever.

01:03:36.060 One way to lose it is is to not pay attention to what they did.

01:03:39.120 And one of the things we try to do in the book is we don't we're not into government solutions.

01:03:43.020 We try to give things that every single individual can do because America gets healthy from the bottom up, not the top down.

01:03:50.080 You say that racial healing is fairly easy.

01:03:54.500 All we have to do is do it.

01:03:56.280 What is the plan for racial healing?

01:03:59.000 You know, there's several things.

01:04:00.180 One is you've got to change some of your knowledge base.

01:04:02.140 This is what we find with millennials.

01:04:03.600 They are taught about race from the way their professors see it.

01:04:06.600 And we show them seven things that everyone needs to know about race.

01:04:09.820 And generally they don't.

01:04:10.940 They're historical.

01:04:11.500 Do you remember off the top of your head what those are?

01:04:13.760 Oh, yeah.

01:04:14.080 There's several things.

01:04:15.120 The first permanent permanent slavery was introduced in America by a black man, Anthony Johnson, who sued to own other black men. 0.50

01:04:23.100 We show the fact that 43 percent of free blacks in South Carolina own black slaves.

01:04:29.780 That one out of one out of yeah, nearly half one out of eight Native Americans owned black slaves and major tribes.

01:04:37.560 And that didn't stop that with the Emancipation Proclamation.

01:04:41.500 When did slavery stop? 0.97

01:04:42.360 Well, it didn't even stop with the 13th Amendment when we abolished slavery because we only abolished slavery in the United States.

01:04:47.040 But Indian nations are their own nations.

01:04:49.080 They're not bound by American law.

01:04:49.700 So when did they stop?

01:04:50.920 It was years later.

01:04:52.100 It was probably a decade later before slavery stopped in Indian nations.

01:04:55.880 So what we do is show slavery is a human problem.

01:04:59.420 It is not a black, white problem, despite what your professors say.

01:05:02.960 It is a problem in the way you view humankind.

01:05:06.360 So we go through and show, for example, Tim Scott and James Lankford in the U.S. Senate have come up with with this thing where you invite other people from other races to come eat a meal with you on Sunday.

01:05:16.920 Come into your house and, you know, learn and touch.

01:05:19.240 You don't solve racism institutionally.

01:05:21.400 You solve it one person at a time, changing a heart at a time, seeing people different and not having this black, white polarization that we often try to make today.

01:05:29.300 How worried are you, David, about the level of anger now?

01:05:38.780 Level of anger is a real problem, but what it's what it's derived from is is the bigger problem.

01:05:44.240 And that stereotypes and all these things where we really don't know each other.

01:05:49.580 And once you get to know each other and once you do this interrelational stuff, like with millennials and like with folks of other races and other groups, once you start doing individual stuff, that's where it breaks down.

01:05:59.300 And that's where you're able to demonstrate that, you know, what you thought about me or what you thought about this group is not accurate.

01:06:05.500 We're individuals.

01:06:06.540 We're made in God's image.

01:06:08.000 We have equality and we can get along great if we'll sit down and talk.

01:06:11.360 It's what you're doing to your book, Glenn.

01:06:12.980 I mean, addicted to outrage.

01:06:14.520 That's exactly it.

01:06:16.120 You sit down and have conversations on bigger things.

01:06:18.660 So real quick, just one last.

01:06:21.020 Give me the six things that you say are these are the six urgent steps.

01:06:26.040 They're actually six urgent areas.

01:06:28.000 What we've got to do in immigration, what we have to do in our relationship with Israel, what we have to do with millennials, what we have to do with people of faith doing a terrible job right now as people of faith. 1.00

01:06:41.300 So we go through those six areas.

01:06:43.380 And let me just touch on Israel.

01:06:45.260 Our relationship with Israel is pretty good.

01:06:47.200 It is right now.

01:06:47.960 You're concerned in the book about Christians are starting to become anti-Semitic.

01:06:53.360 They are becoming anti-Semitic.

01:06:55.040 What has changed?

01:06:56.080 Well, we don't know the scriptures well anymore.

01:06:59.080 And we have the highest level of biblical literacy of any generation in American history.

01:07:04.120 And so we're seeing 1,600 anti-Israel events a year on college campuses.

01:07:10.380 People don't know much about the Palestinians, but they're told they're oppressed people and Israel's doing it. 0.98

01:07:15.300 So we have a real individual turn against Israel.

01:07:19.400 And a lot of denominations are coming out against Israel, denominations that used to be very pro-Israel now.

01:07:24.500 Really?

01:07:24.940 Yes, absolutely.

01:07:26.160 Absolutely.

01:07:27.060 Yeah.

01:07:27.340 These are the more liberal churches, though?

01:07:29.160 They're what are called mainstream denominations.

01:07:32.220 Okay.

01:07:32.500 So, you know, it's kind of like the United Methodist Church, PCUSA, those guys.

01:07:37.500 So they had never been anti-Israel before, but now they are.

01:07:40.180 They're coming out and they're wanting to do the BDS kind of stuff, the boycott, divestiture, and sanctions.

01:07:45.160 So there is a growing anti-Semitic movement among people of faith in America, which is certainly a problem.

01:07:52.260 Now, this administration has done a great job on restoring things.

01:07:55.560 It's just been absolutely amazing.

01:07:57.340 But that doesn't solve the individual problems we have at college campuses and at churches and people of faith.

01:08:04.540 David Barton and James Garlow.

01:08:06.640 The name of the book is This Precarious Moment, Six Urgent Steps That Will Save You, Your Family, and Our Country.

01:08:13.620 We are at the edge of the cliff, and as the Righteous Among the Nations woman that I met in Poland told me,

01:08:26.660 Were you there, David?

01:08:27.780 You weren't there, were you?

01:08:28.740 I don't think on that trip I was with you.

01:08:30.460 And she said, The righteous didn't suddenly become righteous.

01:08:34.440 They just refused to go over the cliff with the rest of humanity.

01:08:37.560 We are at that cliff.

01:08:40.560 Learn to stand.

01:08:41.940 Teach your family to stand.

01:08:44.200 This precarious moment available everywhere books are sold.

01:08:47.540 David, thanks so much.

01:08:54.980 All right.

01:08:56.340 From hurricanes to earthquakes, cyber warfare, everything.

01:09:01.380 Americans should have a plan for any kind of emergency.

01:09:05.180 It was not racism that stopped the United States from doing more in Puerto Rico.

01:09:11.220 It wasn't FEMA was out of money.

01:09:13.860 Never in the history of America have we had six major disasters happen in a short period of months.

01:09:21.220 There were six.

01:09:22.420 There's no plan for four or five natural disasters at once.

01:09:26.980 That's what happened.

01:09:28.400 FEMA was out of money, as they said at the end of that year.

01:09:32.140 They said everybody needs to prepare for themselves because we are not prepared for things like this.

01:09:38.580 A great place to start is storing your own food.

01:09:41.220 Last up to 25 years.

01:09:42.720 You can build it up over time.

01:09:44.740 My Patriot Supply are the people that have helped me with my food storage, and I remember being overwhelmed by it.

01:10:22.400 So you see FiveThirtyEight came out with their list of probable 2020 Democratic candidates.

01:10:29.320 Yeah.

01:10:29.860 Elizabeth Warren, I think, is number one.

01:10:31.680 The number one pick.

01:10:32.620 They do a draft every month or so.

01:10:34.780 We're going to do one on tour.

01:10:36.380 We're going to do one on tour.

01:10:37.420 Ours is going to be a little different, I feel like.

01:10:39.500 Yeah, I've got a couple of things.

01:10:40.680 We've got brackets, and we'll explain that while we're on tour.

01:10:43.220 You are really going to appreciate the brackets that we do.

01:10:47.600 And also, we are going to, I'm going to select, you know, the Democrats and the Democratic candidates.

01:10:54.020 I'll outline their platform.

01:10:55.980 And I may even help them with a speech or two or at least a slogan.

01:10:59.540 I think that's a good idea.

01:11:00.860 This is your ultimate 2020 preparation event.

01:11:06.060 You will know everything you need to know about the Democrats that are about to jump into the race.

01:11:11.940 And I think, you know, it's going to motivate some people.

01:11:14.680 Maybe, you know, I don't know.

01:11:15.620 I think so.

01:11:15.920 Will it win over some people in the audience?

01:11:18.040 I don't know.

01:11:18.600 And I will tell you that I've already put just a few lines down for a very non-dramatic speech for Cory Booker.

01:11:28.380 Oh, wow.

01:11:29.140 Yeah, and I give it to him for free.

01:11:31.240 Oh, so he can just use this as maybe his announcement?

01:11:33.340 My gift to him.

01:11:34.380 Oh, wow.

01:11:34.760 My gift to him.

01:11:35.420 That's really nice.

01:11:36.640 That's all part of our tour, the Addicted to Outrage tour.

01:11:40.380 You don't want to miss.

01:11:41.920 Bring a friend.

01:11:42.560 You're going to learn a lot and laugh a lot, hopefully.

01:12:00.240 I mean, just saying.

01:12:00.940 There might be.

01:12:01.520 There might not be.

01:12:03.600 There might be.

01:12:04.460 Oh, we should use this.

01:12:05.280 We can do better than that.

01:12:06.500 There might be a million dollars under your seat.

01:12:08.120 Well, there might not be.

01:12:09.240 Oh, no, no, no.

01:12:10.200 There might not be.

01:12:10.800 We don't know.

01:12:11.860 It's all up in the air.

01:12:12.680 I'm just saying.

01:12:13.360 In Texas, there might be.

01:12:14.940 I'm just saying.

01:12:16.340 Anyway, Addicted to Outrage, the tour.

01:12:19.680 You can find out all about it and grab your tickets.

01:12:21.780 You can find it at glennbeck.com slash tour.

01:12:26.140 So we have Malcolm Gladwell next.

01:12:28.880 Malcolm is.

01:12:29.940 He's an amazing guy.

01:12:31.240 Yeah.

01:12:32.140 Is he the one that did tipping.

01:12:33.640 But tipping point.

01:12:34.300 No, he did.

01:12:35.500 That was his first big book.

01:12:36.960 He said many.

01:12:37.940 I know.

01:12:38.240 I know.

01:12:39.060 Anyway, Malcolm Gladwell.

01:12:40.420 He does a podcast revisionist history.

01:12:43.380 And this season he did one on memory.

01:12:47.240 And as we are all talking about the memories that, you know, everybody had in high school.

01:12:52.680 I'm not.

01:12:54.260 I don't want to put Malcolm in this situation where I'm asking him to say, who do you believe?

01:12:58.420 Maybe he'll say it.

01:12:59.120 I don't know, but I'm not going to ask him.

01:13:00.380 Uh, I just want to go over the evidence of how bad memory is for everyone because he did extensive work on it.

01:13:12.940 And it is shocking how I don't even know if my parents were my parents at this.

01:13:19.180 It's really amazing how our memories can change and how most of our memories do change over time.

01:13:26.880 Malcolm Gladwell on the program next.

01:13:30.380 Glenn Beck is coming live to talk about the right path forward and to make fun of the people standing in the way.

01:13:37.180 He might not be able to save the country, but at least we can all go down laughing.

01:13:40.840 Glenn Beck Live, the Addicted to Outrage Tour.

01:13:43.780 On tour this fall.

01:13:46.560 Glenn Beck.

01:13:48.320 It's Thursday, October 4th.

01:13:50.780 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:13:52.620 I'm thrilled to have Malcolm Gladwell on with us.

01:13:55.000 I'm a big fan of his.

01:13:56.220 His writing also, Revisionist History is fantastic.

01:14:00.400 I think I started listening to the last season on a Friday.

01:14:04.480 I consumed everything.

01:14:05.420 It was like, you know, hey, the kids are throwing up.

01:14:07.660 They're sick.

01:14:08.180 They're on fire.

01:14:08.760 And I'm like, shut up.

01:14:09.640 I'm listening to Malcolm.

01:14:10.640 Malcolm, it's unbelievable.

01:14:13.580 His latest season on Revisionist History.

01:14:18.900 You don't really know until kind of, you know, towards the end of it that, oh, wow, this is all about memory.

01:14:26.420 And I've learned that everything I thought about memory is probably wrong.

01:14:31.440 I'd like to tell you what it was, but I don't trust my memory anymore.

01:14:35.260 So Malcolm Gladwell is here.

01:14:36.800 Hello, Malcolm.

01:14:37.300 How are you?

01:14:38.480 Hey, Glenn.

01:14:39.320 I'm doing very well.

01:14:40.460 I thank you for your podcast.

01:14:42.280 There's just so great.

01:14:43.860 Oh, thank you.

01:14:44.560 That's very kind of you.

01:14:45.440 I wanted to.

01:14:46.700 I've been thinking about you a lot lately because of the Kavanaugh hearings and everything else.

01:14:51.560 And I don't want to get into the Kavanaugh hearings.

01:14:53.220 What I do want to talk about is our memory and how it can be changed, manipulated, how it's natural for these things to happen.

01:15:05.420 I mean, you explained the Brian Williams story in in such a different way because you didn't condemn him and you didn't exonerate him.

01:15:18.160 You just said, let's look at the facts on memory.

01:15:21.740 Yeah.

01:15:22.180 Can you take us through it?

01:15:24.580 Yeah.

01:15:24.880 The memory is something that in the last generation, psychologists have spent an enormous and neurologists have spent an enormous time, amount of work and effort trying to understand how it works.

01:15:38.920 And the more we learn about memory, the more we realize how fallible it is.

01:15:43.540 And we more and when we systematically go back and we test our memories, we find they don't do very well.

01:15:50.160 So there's a famous set of studies that are called flashbulb studies where a famous event happens, 9-11, the Challenger explosion.

01:15:59.680 And you go to a large group of people, the incident happens, and you say, tell me everything you were doing, thinking on the moment when you heard that news.

01:16:09.560 Where were you?

01:16:10.320 Who did you talk to first?

01:16:11.380 How did you feel?

01:16:12.820 You know, what happened that day?

01:16:13.920 And then they go back to the same group of people a year later, five years later, 10 years later, and they ask them the same set of questions, and they compare their answers.

01:16:23.000 And lo and behold, what you discover is that, not everyone, but many of the people substantially alter their memories of the event without realizing it.

01:16:34.340 In other words, they are, the first time they'll say, when I heard, when I saw the towers fall, I was standing in the streets of Manhattan with my best friend Jim, tears streaming down my face.

01:16:44.420 And then 10 years later, they'll say, when I first heard the towers fall, I was watching it on television in my dorm room, and I ran out, you know, and then I ran and called my friend Jim, who was in Boston.

01:16:58.000 And they're as convinced 10 years later that's what their memory was, as they were the first time they related their memories on the day of 9-11.

01:17:09.120 And so that kind of stuff, my point in doing the Brian Williams thing was, when you understand how fallible memory is, you are a lot more forgiving of what he did.

01:17:19.500 He did something which, it turns out, a lot of us do all the time, which is we make what's called a time slice error.

01:17:26.960 We confuse the timeline in our minds, and we think we're one place when something happens, and we're in another place.

01:17:34.980 Or some, we've heard a story, been told so many times, that we slowly incorporate ourselves into the story without realizing that we're doing it.

01:17:44.060 And my point was that these are not sins of character.

01:17:48.440 These are just facts of human memory.

01:17:52.180 And we so often want to make someone's faulty memory into a test of their character, and I think that's a mistake.

01:17:59.820 You know, there are people who deliberately lie, absolutely, but a lot of what we think might be deliberate lying is just a manifestation of the frailty of human memory.

01:18:12.640 So I really don't want to get into politics on this, but I do want to ask you this question to see if the way I'm...

01:18:19.820 When I finished with the hearings last week, I felt, okay, I think she believes that, and it may have happened that way.

01:18:29.580 I don't know.

01:18:30.860 And I felt Brett Kavanaugh.

01:18:33.120 I believe he believes that.

01:18:35.240 They both could be telling the absolute truth, correct?

01:18:40.420 Yeah.

01:18:41.200 Yeah.

01:18:41.800 Yes.

01:18:42.640 They both...

01:18:43.280 I don't think either of them are deliberately lying.

01:18:47.140 I think, I mean, the thing about memory is that we may honestly believe that this is what happened, even though it isn't.

01:18:58.240 You know, my best friend, Bruce, I honestly believe I met him on the first day of first grade.

01:19:03.540 I can picture it in my mind.

01:19:05.960 He honestly believes that we met in the principal's office at the end of first grade, and we didn't even meet throughout that entire year.

01:19:14.220 Right?

01:19:14.460 This is one of the most important events of my life, my best friend, and we are off by eight months, right?

01:19:20.320 And he thinks we met because we had got into a fight, and I think he came up to me and introduced himself, and we were best friends, you know, from the beginning.

01:19:29.480 Like, you know, I'm not lying about it.

01:19:32.480 It's what I remember, but one of us completely made up that memory from whole class.

01:19:37.500 In fact, when you were talking about the 9-11 study, there were people who came back ten years later.

01:19:46.000 They wrote out, you know, within a few days, if I'm not mistaken.

01:19:51.600 Was it a few days or was it a year after 9-11?

01:19:54.720 The original writing...

01:19:55.780 Well, the original time, they went to the next day.

01:19:57.820 Okay, so the next day, they asked them to write out exactly where they were, what happened.

01:20:03.280 Ten years later, some of them said, I don't know why I even wrote that.

01:20:08.380 This is a lie.

01:20:09.240 This is not what happened.

01:20:10.360 I don't know why I was lying then.

01:20:12.680 And they were convinced, somehow or another, they made something up that was different than what they knew to be true now.

01:20:20.520 So, yeah, people, one of the most important things that memory researchers will tell you is you cannot confuse confidence with accuracy.

01:20:31.020 In other words, the fact that I am absolutely certain that what happened happened is not a reliable guide to its accuracy.

01:20:42.580 So, you can't, like, so I am convinced I met my friend Bruce on the first day.

01:20:47.580 That should, that does not mean it's more likely to be true than if I said, you know, if I expressed it with more doubt.

01:20:55.940 So, I think what it, a lot of what this, the lesson of all of this is, is that we just need to approach our memories, and not just our memories, our entire lives, with a lot more humility.

01:21:09.020 You can't, we're not, our brains are not Superman.

01:21:13.400 They don't, they're not, we don't have a video recorder up there taking down everything perfectly, you know, and we need to, when I say I remembered something one way, I need to be, I need to check it, I need to talk to others, I need to be open to the possibility I might be wrong.

01:21:30.240 I need to, that's why we have legal systems and investigators and, right, to compensate for the fact that our memories are not what we would like them to be.

01:21:41.040 Everyone outside, let's take it outside of this political nightmare.

01:21:46.580 This Me Too movement, I think, has been very good.

01:21:49.180 On whole, it's been very good.

01:21:51.420 I am concerned about the, the women need to be believed. 0.59

01:21:58.560 I don't care if it's a man or a woman. 0.88

01:22:00.720 No, they need to be heard and taken seriously.

01:22:03.040 But we can't just believe what someone says for a myriad of reasons.

01:22:11.460 And I fear it's dangerous, this road that we're going down, because we need more than just your word and your memory.

01:22:21.660 Because you might believe that's true, but it might not be.

01:22:26.280 Yeah, well, so it's funny, this is exactly the point that Ronan Farrell, you know, the journalist who has been responsible, more so than anyone else, for breaking these Me Too stories.

01:22:39.120 I went to see him give a public interview, and he was, he was interviewing the actress who was the source, I've forgotten her name, of course, because my memory is very faulty.

01:22:49.780 He was the source of many of the Me Too allegations, and they were talking about this very point, and he very explicitly said, my job as a journalist is not to believe the women.

01:23:02.260 It is to listen to them and then try and corroborate through careful reporting those aspects of their story that are, corroborate their stories through careful reporting.

01:23:13.180 And if I can't corroborate them, then I can't write the story, right?

01:23:18.280 My job as a reporter is to compensate for the frailty of human memory.

01:23:22.120 And that is a beautiful way of expressing what the responsibility of media investigators is in these cases, is, okay, someone has gone, clearly believes they've gone through something very traumatic.

01:23:37.720 Let's systematically try and figure out, did it happen that way?

01:23:43.320 And if it didn't happen that way, let us not then judge the person and say they're a liar, right?

01:23:50.420 That's the crucial part.

01:23:52.320 When it's like, it is, we can't lose our humanity over this.

01:23:57.120 We have to say, we have to say if we do an investigation, and it's not the way that person says, we have to very respectfully say,

01:24:05.100 you have, you, like all of us, have a memory that is imperfect.

01:24:09.300 That would be wonderful if we lived in that world.

01:24:16.260 But Malcolm, I am, I'm so concerned that, and you've said it now twice, and it is, it's what made me successful in the first place.

01:24:26.400 And I am so glad that I have discovered how dangerous it is.

01:24:32.700 Certitude.

01:24:34.320 We are a population that is certain about everything.

01:24:39.820 And it's good to have a core set of beliefs and principles.

01:24:43.080 But you must be open to hear new information and other information that doesn't give you, what is it, cognitive dissonance is good.

01:24:57.440 It's good.

01:24:58.720 That's a sign that something in you isn't quite right.

01:25:03.480 Don't shout your way through it.

01:25:04.900 Stop back, step back and go, okay, which one of these two don't fit with the principle I believe?

01:25:11.600 Do I need to change the principle, or do I need to throw out that information that I'm now acting on?

01:25:19.920 Right?

01:25:20.480 Yeah.

01:25:20.960 But that's scary.

01:25:21.760 People don't want to do that.

01:25:23.980 Yeah.

01:25:24.940 You know, it's funny.

01:25:25.640 I had a conversation last night with a friend of mine who was a Mormon, and who was talking about the tradition among Mormons of keeping journals, which I had not known about.

01:25:36.260 And she had years and years and years of journals.

01:25:38.380 And she was talking about what that means for when you have a contemporaneous account of your life, your feelings, your actions, your interpretations of what you've done.

01:25:51.540 You can go back, and it obviously serves a function far greater than simply checking your memory.

01:25:57.300 Yeah.

01:25:57.520 But it's a way of keeping yourself honest.

01:25:59.600 And what I loved about that was that notion of if we live in such a kind of difficult and flawed world, then we have to take responsibility for our own stories.

01:26:12.460 And that, to me, is what that tradition of keeping a journal is about.

01:26:18.440 It says, as a human being, you have a responsibility to yourself and to others to understand the road that you have taken, right?

01:26:27.540 And write it down so that when you, 20 years later, you can look back and you say, I had forgotten.

01:26:34.760 I did this then.

01:26:35.880 You know, maybe I regret it now, or maybe I've learned from it.

01:26:38.640 But that, to me, I just thought that was lovely.

01:26:41.480 I really did.

01:26:42.140 I thought that was as an example of a kind of a practice.

01:26:48.000 And you, well, you know, obviously know much more about this than I do, but the idea that that is part of what it means to be a righteous actor in the world is to take your history seriously.

01:27:02.060 Have you heard from Brian Williams since your podcast?

01:27:04.500 No, no, I have.

01:27:08.140 I sure one day I will run into him.

01:27:11.180 And, I mean, he can't be, he can't publicly say, that's true, that's great, right?

01:27:17.280 You know, poor man.

01:27:18.240 I think he was like, part of him, I'm sure, was like, I can't believe he's bringing this up again.

01:27:25.060 Malcolm, thank you so much for being on the program.

01:27:27.460 I really appreciate it.

01:27:28.300 Pleasure as always.

01:27:28.940 You bet.

01:27:29.340 Malcolm Gladwell.

01:27:30.700 You'll follow him on Twitter at Gladwell.

01:27:32.320 And also, if you have not heard this podcast, it is so relevant for what we're going through right now.

01:27:40.340 It especially listened to, I wish I would have asked him about the German, the spies.

01:27:46.340 Oh, my gosh, that's a great story.

01:27:48.640 But listen to the one.

01:27:50.260 It's a two part about the German spies.

01:27:52.020 Listen, just even start with the Brian Williams.

01:27:55.220 And you will see, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

01:27:57.980 No, do not believe people on their memory alone.

01:28:03.100 Take them seriously.

01:28:04.940 Season three, episode three and four are the two that you're talking about.

01:28:07.760 It really is.

01:28:08.600 And the Brian Williams thing was incredible because I 100% just thought he was just trying

01:28:13.180 to lie to make himself look better.

01:28:14.780 And when you look at like the way he did it and all the details around it, it will at least

01:28:19.760 make you uneasy about that conclusion.

01:28:21.120 You know what?

01:28:22.960 I always say, do something this week that makes you uncomfortable.

01:28:26.820 Listen to this, because it will, especially if you think that Brian Williams, absolutely,

01:28:30.700 he's just a pig.

01:28:32.140 Listen to this, because it will challenge you.

01:28:34.180 And you, if you're honest with yourself, will go, well, wait a minute.

01:28:37.580 I'm not quite sure.

01:28:40.020 And if you're really honest, you'll go, gee, I wonder how much of that has happened with

01:28:44.080 me.

01:28:44.420 Liberty Safe, number one safe manufacturer in the nation.

01:28:48.820 They are the people that are sponsoring the program, and we appreciate their sponsorship.

01:28:55.780 Did you see the tweet I sent out the other day?

01:28:59.820 I felt so, you know, because I don't allow sponsors to tweet stuff for, you know, I don't

01:29:05.440 tweet stuff for sponsors.

01:29:06.700 And this one, I kind of felt weird because I was like, well, it's a sponsor, but I just

01:29:10.800 did it because I loved it.

01:29:11.820 And they have a new video on LibertySafe.com.

01:29:16.000 It's phenomenal, Stu.

01:29:17.280 You have to watch it.

01:29:18.540 Amazing.

01:29:18.980 They take, I think it's a thousand pound block of concrete, and they bring it up on a crane,

01:29:25.940 and they drop it.

01:29:27.380 They drop it on their safe and the competitor's safe.

01:29:30.680 And it's unbelievable.

01:29:31.900 And we know these guys from Liberty Safe.

01:29:33.780 This is only 10% they're doing it for business.

01:29:36.740 They just want to have fun.

01:30:12.420 They're both really good.

01:30:15.140 Check them out right now.

01:30:16.100 LibertySafe.com.

01:30:17.160 That's LibertySafe.com.

01:30:18.420 You know, we're just talking about memory, but let's talk about another thing that is misunderstood or underutilized, you know, or gone, lost, forgotten in America.

01:30:31.620 And that's bravery.

01:30:32.720 I have no idea what Malcolm Gladwell's political bent is.

01:30:36.380 I don't really care.

01:30:37.500 I like him.

01:30:38.280 I think he's smart.

01:30:39.460 What he votes for, I don't care.

01:30:41.620 He could be conservative.

01:30:43.140 He could be liberal.

01:30:44.140 Don't know.

01:30:45.000 Again, don't care.

01:30:45.920 But let's let's just say maybe he's liberal, maybe 50 50 shot.

01:30:52.620 He just came on this program and he talked to me about a portion of the Kavanaugh hearings without expressing either condemnation or support.

01:31:06.320 He spoke about memory and how it applies to both Kavanaugh and Ford.

01:31:12.900 Do you know how dangerous that is for him?

01:31:15.920 You were on the Glenn Beck program.

01:31:17.800 Strike one.

01:31:19.040 You talked to him about Kavanaugh.

01:31:20.580 Strike two.

01:31:21.360 You didn't say an opinion on Kavanaugh.

01:31:24.120 Strike three.

01:31:24.820 You're out.

01:31:25.920 Yeah.

01:31:26.140 I mean, whether regardless of his personal politics, a lot of his listeners would be from the left.

01:31:31.660 And so, you know, but that's like.

01:31:34.620 But he doesn't care.

01:31:35.540 Well, he doesn't care.

01:31:36.620 It's something that we need.

01:31:37.940 It is.

01:31:38.420 It's something that we need people just being willing to be honest and just talk about just about what we can talk about things without making everything about politics, even though this story.

01:31:49.740 The reason why I had him on is because it's very relatable today.

01:31:54.160 But that's he did the podcast before Kavanaugh.

01:31:57.040 Yeah.

01:31:57.240 Nothing to do with nothing to do with it.

01:31:58.840 So can we talk now in light of this?

01:32:02.100 Can we just talk about what you found on memory?

01:32:05.040 Right.

01:32:05.320 Because it's important.

01:32:06.360 And it's the reason why, honestly, I would listen to him on Brian Williams.

01:32:10.980 Yes.

01:32:11.240 Because he's credible.

01:32:12.580 If Rachel Maddow came out and said, if Brian Stelter did that.

01:32:16.140 I wouldn't, you know.

01:32:17.320 Never.

01:32:17.980 But like Malcolm's so credible because he's not doing, he's actually looking for an answer.

01:32:23.880 Right.

01:32:24.420 Yes.

01:32:24.600 And that's what I think is so absent in so many places right now.

01:32:30.080 I mean, it's, you know, it's, you don't always, your side's not always right.

01:32:34.280 But it's okay to keep your principles and maintain your arguments and believe things are morally correct the way you do.

01:32:42.360 But there's no reason why you can't entertain and be challenged by someone who has a different opinion.

01:32:47.400 I feel like that's what, you know, one of the things that's been interesting about the Kavanaugh thing is because those on the left here and, you know, the prominent ones on the left have been so, I mean, I want to use the technical term bonkers on the story.

01:33:02.240 So over the top, so ridiculous in so many ways.

01:33:07.480 It has taken, it has increased, you know, enthusiasm for Republicans, which would be something you'd expect.

01:33:13.440 But it's also taken people who are already planning to vote and changing their minds towards Kavanaugh.

01:33:20.340 And that is something just because it, I don't even know if it's because of details of these stories.

01:33:25.620 It's because one side looks unhinged and the other one doesn't.

01:33:29.080 It's what you talked about in hour one today.

01:33:30.780 It is the point of Addicted to Outrage.

01:33:34.320 And this Kavanaugh hearing and the way the Republicans and Donald Trump have played it is perfect, is perfect.

01:33:40.960 It is the plan in Addicted to Outrage.

01:33:43.760 It works.

01:33:44.720 Back.

01:33:45.540 Mercury.

01:33:48.560 Let's go to Gabe in Florida.

01:33:49.960 Hello, Gabe.

01:33:52.260 Gabe, are you there?

01:33:53.300 Thanks for taking my call.

01:33:54.340 You bet.

01:33:55.100 Thanks for holding.

01:33:55.940 Hey, no problem.

01:33:57.560 I got a question for you.

01:33:59.440 I wanted to see what your thoughts are.

01:34:01.160 It seems like the Democrats now with these press conferences coming up this morning are kind of moving the goalposts, going after limited time and six previous investigations that actually something might have been in there.

01:34:14.380 I know, I know.

01:34:17.260 Do you think this is going to have any traction or do you think like Murkowski and Collins and No, it's not going to have a mansion.

01:34:24.100 It's not going to have it's not going to have any traction.

01:34:26.880 It's not going to have any traction.

01:34:27.860 The polls are all moving towards Kavanaugh.

01:34:31.380 The behavior of the Democrats has has actually gone against them because the Republicans played this right because they remained calm, cool, collected.

01:34:44.880 They treated the witness with respect when it was an FBI deal.

01:34:50.000 Everybody thought it wasn't.

01:34:51.240 But one of the guys stood up and said, I think we should have seven days.

01:34:54.880 OK, we'll have seven days.

01:34:56.860 Well, I want the FBI not to be told what.

01:34:59.700 OK, they can go any way they want.

01:35:02.060 Well, they like to expand it.

01:35:04.040 OK, they can expand it.

01:35:06.680 Well, there you go.

01:35:07.840 What are you going to do?

01:35:08.680 They the the Republicans have played this exactly the right way, calmly and coolly and openly.

01:35:20.160 And now all they have to do is just say enough is enough.

01:35:23.520 And the American people are going to put put that as a mark for the Republicans.

01:35:31.520 I really believe that.

01:35:33.460 And I think I think some of these.

01:35:34.820 Hey, Glenn, do you think some of these Democrats that are in, you know, like Manchin who are in tough battleground states?

01:35:41.320 Do you think they're going to I sure will over just to save their, you know, save themselves, come over to the Kavanaugh side?

01:35:48.080 Yeah.

01:35:48.320 Yeah, yeah, I think they will.

01:35:50.220 I mean, I don't know what's in the FBI report, but assuming that there's nothing new in the FBI report and, you know, this this whole argument of, well, they didn't talk to her.

01:35:59.140 Well, no, because they they interviewed her for three hours.

01:36:04.540 What did she have anything else to say?

01:36:07.020 What are you talking about?

01:36:09.180 So I think if I were Manchin, I think, Stu, you'd be better at this.

01:36:13.780 You think those guys are going to cross?

01:36:15.900 I think they probably will because of their own personal interest.

01:36:21.920 Right.

01:36:22.440 And I think the party will actually let them.

01:36:26.200 Yeah.

01:36:26.500 It looks like it's going to pass.

01:36:28.320 They're going to let them because they care more about votes than they do about principles.

01:36:33.900 And, you know, I'd say this, if you look at the prediction markets, the highest percentage of likelihood is 53 votes, not not 51 or 50, which would be the Republicans, but 53 votes.

01:36:46.760 And I think, you know, Manchin and Heitkamp are the two that you probably see most likely.

01:36:50.300 And that's a big thing about if you're in West Virginia, I would love to understand that because here's a guy, here's a state that Trump won by over 30 points.

01:36:58.820 Right.

01:36:59.540 I mean, think about the squishy senators that you throw out there from Republicans, Orrin Hatch, Mitch McConnell, Lamar Alexander, Lindsey Graham, Bob Corker, Jeff Flake, John McCain when he was around, Murkowski, Susan Collins.

01:37:11.480 All of those people vote with with Trump and the White House far more often, not even close.

01:37:19.860 The closest one is Susan Collins, and that's 18 percentage points.

01:37:23.400 She votes with Trump more than Manchin.

01:37:25.700 You want that guy in representing you if you're in West Virginia?

01:37:30.800 And if he comes out today and decides to go the other way on Kavanaugh, I mean, he seems to be leading in the polls.

01:37:38.220 How is that possible, West Virginia?

01:37:39.360 But if this guy comes out and goes against Kavanaugh with this ridiculous of a nonsensical situation surrounding it, how can you let this guy go back to the Senate?

01:37:49.660 Thanks, Gabe.

01:37:50.240 I'm going to I just made a book out to you and I'm going to send it to you.

01:37:52.620 Addicted to Outrage will pop it in the mail today.

01:37:54.700 Real quickly, let me go to Eddie in South Carolina.

01:37:56.820 Then Pat, Pat's here from the Pat Gray Radio Roundup, otherwise known as Pat Gray Unleashed, which you can find on which you could find on podcast iTunes or Stitcher.

01:38:09.100 wherever you get them and on the Blaze Radio Network.

01:38:12.100 Eddie, go ahead.

01:38:13.480 How are you doing, Glenn?

01:38:14.520 Good.

01:38:14.760 How are you?

01:38:15.660 All right.

01:38:16.380 All right.

01:38:17.340 Let me ask you.

01:38:19.360 Well, let me set this up and then.

01:38:21.620 All right.

01:38:22.040 Tell me what you think.

01:38:23.260 All right.

01:38:23.660 I watched the last when they were going to vote it, vote him out to go to the floor.

01:38:32.220 And when I know you've been talking about Booker, I can't.

01:38:37.640 I just can't.

01:38:39.060 Yeah, I know.

01:38:40.620 Well, he sparked us.

01:38:41.480 OK, go ahead.

01:38:42.440 But he made the statement right before he got his little ball and his little nameplate and left the room.

01:38:51.380 He said, I was in Senator Feinstein's office when she got Dr. Ford's letter.

01:39:02.920 Yes.

01:39:03.540 That's a pretty thorough statement there.

01:39:05.400 All right.

01:39:06.080 OK.

01:39:07.000 So did he know about the letter, too?

01:39:10.960 Yeah.

01:39:11.320 I mean, Eddie, it is really clear.

01:39:13.180 I thank you for your phone call.

01:39:14.420 And it's kind of like talking to Lindsey Graham, you know, it's obvious that this leak came from somebody.

01:39:23.900 I personally think the, you know, the authority should should look into the leak.

01:39:29.340 I think it's really rotten.

01:39:31.400 What what happened to Ford?

01:39:33.540 Pat, welcome to the program.

01:39:35.720 Thank you.

01:39:36.220 Good to be here.

01:39:37.080 It really is.

01:39:38.940 It really is.

01:39:39.880 You wouldn't.

01:39:40.460 I wouldn't just say that.

01:39:41.660 No.

01:39:41.760 And you can't think of any other place, could you know that I'd rather be?

01:39:44.880 Yeah.

01:39:45.140 No.

01:39:45.660 So your experience with Kavanaugh, because we went into this last night on the news and why it matters.

01:39:50.940 If you if you missed last night's podcast, the news and why it matters, you should listen to it because.

01:39:56.440 There was quite an expose.

01:39:57.980 Really?

01:39:58.420 It's two nights ago, I believe.

01:39:59.680 Startling revelations.

01:40:00.820 Yeah.

01:40:01.060 Yeah.

01:40:01.480 Before last.

01:40:02.160 Yeah.

01:40:02.260 Night before last.

01:40:02.960 It was starting startling.

01:40:04.220 And you'll notice the press never picked up on it.

01:40:06.460 No.

01:40:06.980 I know.

01:40:07.380 I went to.

01:40:08.420 Yeah.

01:40:08.500 They don't.

01:40:08.860 They don't care.

01:40:09.840 Yeah.

01:40:10.060 When this happens to particularly men.

01:40:13.140 Right.

01:40:13.440 I think.

01:40:13.800 And then men on the right.

01:40:15.020 Right.

01:40:15.560 They don't care.

01:40:16.180 They don't care.

01:40:17.340 I'm not going to go into it here, but you were there.

01:40:20.380 I was there.

01:40:21.000 I was.

01:40:21.380 You know it.

01:40:21.840 I was there.

01:40:22.380 So.

01:40:23.020 Well, we lived very near Yale for three years.

01:40:26.860 Three and a half years.

01:40:27.560 I went to Yale.

01:40:28.260 You went to Yale.

01:40:29.020 Yeah.

01:40:29.460 So.

01:40:30.120 And so did Kavanaugh.

01:40:31.600 Right.

01:40:31.720 And I distinctly remember.

01:40:33.820 Yeah.

01:40:34.080 Oh, I don't even want to bring it up.

01:40:35.180 Yeah.

01:40:35.380 Don't even.

01:40:36.180 I wouldn't.

01:40:36.620 It's why I have a fan in my bathrooms.

01:40:42.520 You know, when you turn on the light in my bathrooms, I have a fan there.

01:40:45.260 Yeah.

01:40:45.580 Everybody does.

01:40:46.440 Because of that memory.

01:40:47.660 But anyway.

01:40:48.760 So what do you.

01:40:50.020 So really?

01:40:51.080 Yes.

01:40:51.580 Okay.

01:40:52.140 So.

01:40:52.900 So what?

01:40:53.440 Just code.

01:40:54.200 Yeah.

01:40:54.500 So.

01:40:56.900 So.

01:40:57.760 So, Pat, what's on your mind today?

01:41:00.020 Well, of course, Kavanaugh is on my mind.

01:41:02.500 He's always on my mind.

01:41:03.760 He's never far from my thoughts.

01:41:05.220 Yes.

01:41:05.980 And I.

01:41:07.740 It's fascinating to see how, you know, just kind of outlined how the Democrats wanted

01:41:13.200 an investigation, got one, wanted it expanded.

01:41:16.300 So.

01:41:16.420 Got it.

01:41:16.640 They did.

01:41:18.480 Wanted it delayed.

01:41:19.440 So it was.

01:41:20.540 And now, now that it's all been done and we're wrapping it up and they found nothing.

01:41:25.780 Now they want even more investigations.

01:41:27.740 When would this ever end?

01:41:29.600 I think in 2020 is when it would end.

01:41:32.480 If you, if you, if you let him continue this process.

01:41:36.340 But the latest thing from the roommate who knows, who knows for a fact that Kavanaugh

01:41:43.580 was lying about his drinking habits and those words in his yearbook in high school.

01:41:49.340 Don't bring them up.

01:41:51.200 No, don't, don't bring up the words.

01:41:54.260 No, don't.

01:41:54.860 Booth, don't say it.

01:41:56.360 And Devil's Triangle, don't say it.

01:41:57.920 No, because you know what those are about.

01:42:00.080 Obviously, they're well, at least his roommate knows that they were sexually charged words,

01:42:07.820 which would make a huge difference in whether he should be a Supreme Court justice 40 years

01:42:12.080 later.

01:42:12.480 If he was using terms that were about sex, he's off the Supreme Court as a teenager.

01:42:18.560 Then it's OK.

01:42:19.500 Yeah.

01:42:19.680 As a teen.

01:42:20.340 Right.

01:42:20.800 As a teenager.

01:42:21.600 Because teenagers don't do that.

01:42:23.320 No.

01:42:23.440 Only the most reckless, heinous serial killers that usually start to show signs of serial

01:42:29.820 killing are around 60.

01:42:32.360 Yeah, that's usually what happens.

01:42:33.260 Most serial killers are around 60.

01:42:34.560 I think we talked about this the other day.

01:42:35.980 Do you guys, are you guys familiar with the word boofed?

01:42:38.100 Because I'm pretty familiar with that.

01:42:40.380 And it's pretty widely understood to be flatulence.

01:42:44.080 It's interesting.

01:42:45.160 All three of us.

01:42:46.220 Boft is a different thing.

01:42:47.620 Yeah, boft.

01:42:47.960 All three of us had different recollections of what that word meant in school.

01:42:52.660 Mine actually was the sexual use.

01:42:54.980 I remember that.

01:42:55.580 It wasn't boof?

01:42:56.160 Yeah.

01:42:56.460 Or boff?

01:42:57.440 Well, boff, I think both.

01:42:58.880 I think it's both would be the sexual connotation.

01:43:00.500 Booft is, OK.

01:43:01.900 All right.

01:43:02.020 Which is interesting.

01:43:02.540 But like Glenn had a drug reference.

01:43:04.860 Yeah.

01:43:05.120 And I thought maybe I'm wrong.

01:43:06.880 But I looked it up in the Urban Dictionary.

01:43:08.760 And it is.

01:43:09.220 It's also a drug reference.

01:43:10.260 And then Pat.

01:43:11.200 To smoke and pot?

01:43:11.840 Yeah.

01:43:12.200 Was the farting thing.

01:43:13.180 Yeah.

01:43:13.460 Which is amazing.

01:43:14.320 I mean, I honestly, when I read that, I was like,

01:43:16.260 Ah, he's probably trying to cover for himself.

01:43:17.980 Because in my thought, that is actually what it was.

01:43:19.980 It was like a sexual term.

01:43:21.340 But then everybody, I mean, all three of us at the table have different recollection

01:43:24.720 from different areas, right?

01:43:26.060 Different schools.

01:43:27.000 It's weird.

01:43:27.400 Different backgrounds.

01:43:28.480 Different, you know.

01:43:29.000 I mean, like that.

01:43:29.860 So it could mean anything, really.

01:43:30.920 It really could.

01:43:31.520 You're not going to get poetry on that.

01:43:32.100 Now, Devil's Triangle I've never heard of.

01:43:33.220 I don't know what that is.

01:43:33.880 Yeah.

01:43:34.320 I don't know what that is.

01:43:35.420 Well, let me explain it.

01:43:38.600 But the way everybody cares about this stuff when, and I think you guys mentioned this

01:43:44.560 earlier in the show, when there was a president who admitted to far worse than this stuff.

01:43:50.100 No.

01:43:50.700 Far worse.

01:43:51.340 And we don't have it on tape.

01:43:52.720 And if we did have it on tape, we certainly couldn't play it right now.

01:43:56.060 I think I was a thug for a big part of my growing up.

01:44:03.380 That's funny.

01:44:04.280 I think I was a very typical...

01:44:11.200 Gang rapist?

01:44:12.340 ...begarious, mischievous child as a young boy.

01:44:18.120 Mischievous?

01:44:18.680 By the time I was an adolescent and had moved back from Indonesia and was struggling with

01:44:25.080 these issues of racial identity and a father not being in the house.

01:44:29.600 Wait, what?

01:44:30.700 You struggled with racial identity?

01:44:32.180 I think that I reacted by engaging in a lot of behavior that's not untypical of black males 1.00

01:44:45.200 across the country.

01:44:47.580 Wait, what's that?

01:44:49.100 I played a lot of basketball.

01:44:50.140 Did you just stereotype black males?

01:44:51.900 I didn't take school that seriously.

01:44:55.120 What?

01:44:55.480 That's what black people were? 0.99

01:44:57.900 Got into fights.

01:44:59.400 What?

01:44:59.900 Black people.

01:45:01.380 Black males. 0.93

01:45:02.920 Drank.

01:45:03.560 Drank.

01:45:04.480 He drank.

01:45:05.340 It's totally different than whites. 1.00

01:45:07.100 Consumed.

01:45:07.960 Substances that weren't always legal.

01:45:11.480 Yeah.

01:45:11.800 Not legal.

01:45:12.560 And, you know, I think generally was acting out in ways that when I look back on it, I

01:45:25.280 understand.

01:45:26.560 You understand.

01:45:27.020 I think that what got me through those years was a natural aptitude for schooling, which

01:45:35.140 meant that I didn't have to pay attention too much to be able to keep my grades up.

01:45:41.300 I see.

01:45:42.040 Right.

01:45:42.280 All right.

01:45:43.200 He goes on to say, I think, you know, it takes him too long to say that, but he goes

01:45:48.320 on to say that he would drink a six pack in the hour before class.

01:45:51.560 Yeah.

01:45:51.820 In an hour.

01:45:52.600 A soul six pack.

01:45:53.340 Then go to class drunk.

01:45:54.540 Yeah.

01:45:54.800 I mean, nobody cared about that stuff.

01:45:57.440 No.

01:45:57.820 No one cared about it.

01:45:59.960 And by the way, where was that stuff when he was running?

01:46:02.700 Where was that?

01:46:03.580 Right.

01:46:03.880 Where was it?

01:46:04.320 We have to have Judge Kavanaugh's calendars.

01:46:07.640 Uh-huh.

01:46:08.460 But this guy has that.

01:46:10.460 The press never did it.

01:46:11.680 And no one in the press, and they would be right to not do it, would hear that and say,

01:46:19.660 oh, well, look at his temperament.

01:46:22.520 I mean, he was, he admitted to fights.

01:46:25.580 He admitted to fights.

01:46:27.120 He admitted to chugging beers within an hour.

01:46:30.240 And illegal activity.

01:46:31.360 His temperament.

01:46:32.260 They would have never said that.

01:46:33.880 And which is more important?

01:46:35.060 He's, there's only one executive.

01:46:37.920 Kavanaugh is going for a position where he's one ninth of the court.

01:46:41.820 It's far more important for the one guy to be able to have that disposition, to be able

01:46:47.080 to have that temperament, to be able to have that judgment.

01:46:49.040 Here's why.

01:46:49.600 Here's why.

01:46:50.580 Here's why.

01:46:51.200 Mm-hmm.

01:46:51.900 Because he's not white. 0.85

01:46:55.360 And he's fighting the patriarchy.

01:46:58.920 That is the real reason why it doesn't matter.

01:47:03.880 Yeah.

01:47:04.120 If you're fighting the patriarchy and the white history of colonialism, and I know this sounds

01:47:12.300 ridiculous, but read the book.

01:47:14.740 It's postmodernism.

01:47:17.400 If you are doing that.

01:47:18.660 Did you see the, did you see the, the, um, the, the bogus studies that were just published?

01:47:24.920 Have you guys read that?

01:47:25.740 Yeah.

01:47:25.900 Amazing.

01:47:26.960 Incredible.

01:47:27.480 We haven't even talked about it.

01:47:28.420 We have to talk about it tomorrow.

01:47:29.280 Um, these studies where they, where these, these three, um, uh, scientists realize this postmodern

01:47:37.860 stuff is crap and it's changing science and it's completely unhinged.

01:47:42.820 So they started writing papers to see if they could get them peer reviewed and published.

01:47:47.240 They wrote papers about how the rape culture is really even fostered in dog parks because dogs will hump each other and the, the one dog will be, uh, traumatized and the other dog didn't ask permission.

01:48:04.180 And, uh, it's, it's just perpetrating a rape culture in America. 1.00

01:48:10.400 It's published and it was an award winning essay and it was totally made up and bogus.

01:48:17.300 Okay.

01:48:18.020 Wow.

01:48:18.500 That's how insane this is.

01:48:20.480 So if, and they, they found if they, if they just said that they submitted and it went nowhere, but if they made it about the white hierarchy,

01:48:31.480 they had seven, seven studies that were completely ridiculous and bogus in one year, they got seven studies published.

01:48:42.780 Amazing.

01:48:43.480 Didn't one of them, wasn't one of them like a rewrite of Mein Kampf?

01:48:46.640 Yeah.

01:48:46.880 Mein Kampf, except it took out Jews and it replaced it with white males. 0.70

01:48:51.760 And it was a feminist study. 1.00

01:48:53.320 It was a chapter from Mein Kampf.

01:48:57.660 Wow.

01:48:58.240 That's how unhinged.

01:48:59.380 That's how unhinged.

01:49:00.580 Uh, all right.

01:49:02.100 Our, that's how unleashed.

01:49:03.740 That's how unleashed it is.

01:49:04.900 That's how unleashed the situation is.

01:49:06.640 Thank you.

01:49:07.080 You're welcome.

01:49:07.660 Thank you.

01:49:08.500 Pat Graham.

01:49:09.020 Well, that ties into the name of your show.

01:49:10.460 Yeah.

01:49:10.680 Your podcast.

01:49:11.320 Yeah.

01:49:11.520 Which you can hear now.

01:49:12.580 See if it were the radio roundup, that wouldn't tie into the name.

01:49:15.320 Exactly right.

01:49:16.360 Yeah.

01:49:16.500 Pat Gray and his orchestra coming up on the blaze radio network and on podcast.

01:49:20.280 All right.

01:49:20.700 I want to talk to you about American financing.

01:49:22.400 Uh, if there are many benefits to refinancing your mortgage right now, you can lower your interest rate.

01:49:27.400 You can shorten your load loan term.

01:49:29.300 You can get cash out of it.

01:49:31.040 You can even consolidate high interest debt.

01:49:33.780 These are all great options that can help save like sometimes a thousand dollars a month.

01:49:39.000 Would that give you a little extra breathing room?

01:49:41.600 Don't wait.

01:49:42.600 The interest rates are increasing.

01:49:44.700 The next step should be a 10 minute call to American financing, to their salary based mortgage consultants.

01:49:51.480 Uh, there are never any upfront fees.

01:49:53.600 They have access to every loan in the industry.

01:49:55.720 So, they're not trying to sell you or jam you into something.

01:49:58.780 They're looking at your budget.
