The Glenn Beck Program - 'Denying What We Know Is True' - 5⧸31⧸18

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

00:00:06.560 Glenn Beck.

00:00:08.280 All right, the Kim Summit finally happened.

00:00:12.380 Now, it's not exactly what we expected,

00:00:16.620 but Kim was at the White House yesterday,

00:00:20.960 and policy was being discussed.

00:00:23.580 Now, I mean, I am talking about Kim Kardashian

00:00:27.160 and her meeting with the president regarding prison reform yesterday.

00:00:33.380 Now, that is one of the most bizarre sentences

00:00:36.100 that I think I have ever said.

00:00:39.400 Is it ridiculous?

00:00:42.480 I guess people want us to believe that it's ridiculous.

00:00:46.620 I mean, you had a reality TV star sit down in the Oval Office

00:00:50.020 and have a serious conversation on prison reform.

00:00:54.940 Wait, hang on, let me make sure.

00:00:57.160 We had two television reality stars sit down and talk about policy.

00:01:05.100 And everybody yesterday went nuts.

00:01:10.940 Everybody, oh my gosh, every president is rolled over in their graves.

00:01:16.700 Really? Really? Seriously?

00:01:19.320 Seriously?

00:01:21.680 Kim Kardashian is just another Hollywood starlet. 0.91

00:01:26.140 How many Hollywood people were in the Oval Office under Barack Obama?

00:01:31.640 Wait, Leonardo DiCaprio has more credibility than Kim Kardashian? 0.57

00:01:38.020 I don't think so.

00:01:39.320 And here's the thing.

00:01:45.260 Wasn't the cause admirable?

00:01:49.160 Wasn't the fact that yesterday the president sat down with anybody

00:01:55.760 and talked about prison reform.

00:01:59.100 Isn't that something that all of us can get behind?

00:02:02.700 Left and right?

00:02:03.660 I don't care if it was the mouse on a motorcycle.

00:02:06.660 Motorcycle.

00:02:08.360 If it makes progress.

00:02:12.480 Kim apparently first got interested in prison reform after hearing about Alice Marie Johnson.

00:02:17.540 And that's who they talked about yesterday.

00:02:19.100 This is the 63-year-old grandmother who was in prison for acting as an intermediary for a drug pusher.

00:02:25.740 Now, there was no violence or anything else.

00:02:29.040 And yes, she committed a crime. 0.98

00:02:31.060 She's 63 years old.

00:02:32.800 But she was given life in prison.

00:02:35.660 A nonviolent grandmother handed the same sentence given to murderers and terrorists. 0.97

00:02:42.920 Now, yes, she broke the law and she should go to jail. 0.85

00:02:48.400 But life in prison?

00:02:53.020 Everybody can make fun of Kim Kardashian goes to Washington.

00:02:57.600 Used to be Mr. Smith goes to Washington.

00:03:01.160 But can we not recognize the case that brought her there?

00:03:06.120 Yesterday, it was either laughs or everybody was outraged.

00:03:14.920 Jim Acosta, he wanted nothing to do with this.

00:03:19.940 Acosta was irritated at Sarah Sanders, not answering one of my questions.

00:03:26.660 So he went on with CNN's Brooke Baldwin.

00:03:31.080 And he just needed to get his hot take out.

00:03:34.880 He said, quote, forget about the fact that Kim Kardashian is here today at the White House

00:03:41.880 and what planet that that this is anything resembling normal because it's not.

00:03:50.880 She shouldn't be here talking about prison reform and quote.

00:03:56.640 Wait, wait.

00:03:58.260 Kim Kardashian should not be there talking about prison reform.

00:04:05.980 Why?

00:04:07.260 Well, she's not an expert.

00:04:11.260 That's really interesting.

00:04:14.260 Jim, don't you work for the network that has been giving airtime seemingly daily for months to 16 and 17 year olds

00:04:24.700 to talk about gun policy?

00:04:26.700 Does that, quote, resemble normal at all?

00:04:33.420 Oh, my gosh.

00:04:38.460 That wouldn't have been normal in the past.

00:04:41.800 And a Kardashian going into the Oval wouldn't have been normal in the past.

00:04:46.800 However, having a Hollywood starlet come into the Oval and talk about policies,

00:04:53.880 that's much more normal than 16 and 17 year olds given a daily forum to talk about gun control policies.

00:05:04.800 Is this normal?

00:05:09.480 I don't know.

00:05:11.360 How many times have you interviewed Stormy Daniels lawyer?

00:05:15.440 Fifty nine times in less than two months.

00:05:19.700 Does that resemble normal?

00:05:23.060 Here's the thing.

00:05:25.160 We don't live in normal anymore.

00:05:28.460 There is no such thing as normal.

00:05:30.980 I love this.

00:05:32.180 How dare you?

00:05:34.860 How dare you try to define what normal is?

00:05:38.180 Who are you to say what normal is?

00:05:41.720 I don't know.

00:05:42.780 I mean, there's normal things and things that are, you know, abnormal.

00:05:47.060 I mean, that's just how how dare you?

00:05:50.820 Do you know how damaging that is to psyche to be able to say you're abnormal or this is abnormal?

00:05:59.620 Who do you think you are?

00:06:01.220 Shut up. 0.95

00:06:02.180 Everything now is abnormal.

00:06:08.140 Nothing is predictable.

00:06:09.880 The only institution in the country lately that is actually delivering anything predictable is the media.

00:06:19.220 You can predict week after week, day after day.

00:06:24.340 You can predict exactly what they're going to do.

00:06:27.800 And that is forever be hypocrites and inconsistent.

00:06:35.940 It's Thursday, May 31st.

00:06:45.020 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:06:47.100 So I have to tell you, the make America great again hat is in the studio.

00:06:57.060 We we kind of we have it in a special place now.

00:07:01.200 And I need a glass case over it and a break in case of emergency.

00:07:06.900 But I mean, I gave the monologue that I gave, what, a week ago or two weeks ago, Friday that went everywhere.

00:07:15.500 Oh, my gosh.

00:07:16.240 Glenn Beck is fully on the Trump train.

00:07:18.100 I had given this monologue.

00:07:20.480 I don't know how many times, nine, ten.

00:07:23.240 Probably.

00:07:23.780 I mean, a very similar.

00:07:25.120 Yeah.

00:07:25.960 Monologue.

00:07:26.520 Correct.

00:07:26.720 The only difference is I wore a make America great again hat.

00:07:33.280 It really is a great example of what is wrong with the culture.

00:07:37.600 Yes.

00:07:37.920 Which is that you can say the same thing 20 times.

00:07:41.000 And again, there was slight variations and you went with an exclamation point.

00:07:45.040 Right.

00:07:45.100 Yes.

00:07:45.460 Yes.

00:07:45.720 And the only time anyone ever hears it is when you go with an exclamation.

00:07:48.480 Correct.

00:07:48.940 And they don't actually hear the thing you're saying.

00:07:51.100 No.

00:07:51.380 They just see the hat.

00:07:52.240 No.

00:07:52.900 No.

00:07:53.220 It really is fascinating.

00:07:54.100 They don't hear anything.

00:07:57.400 Nobody actually listens to anything anymore.

00:08:01.420 Because your point was, if I, let me try to summarize it.

00:08:04.220 You tell me if I'm wrong.

00:08:05.240 Yeah.

00:08:05.520 A, Trump's done some really good things.

00:08:07.700 And when he does really good things, we should celebrate them.

00:08:09.820 Absolutely.

00:08:10.180 By the way, implied in that sentence is when he does things that we don't like, we should

00:08:14.440 criticize them.

00:08:15.200 Yes.

00:08:15.580 Right.

00:08:15.940 We should say things are good when they're good and bad when they're bad.

00:08:20.580 Yeah.

00:08:21.140 This is a tough concept.

00:08:22.940 Yeah.

00:08:23.060 And, uh, secondarily, uh, you're talking about the media coverage being so ridiculously unfair,

00:08:30.720 um, towards Trump.

00:08:33.140 Kim Kardashian.

00:08:34.340 Right.

00:08:34.640 Like, that's crazy talk.

00:08:36.420 Yeah.

00:08:36.600 She shouldn't be able to, I mean, Barack Obama paraded almost every celebrity on earth through

00:08:42.540 that White House for eight years.

00:08:44.080 How many rappers?

00:08:46.100 How many rappers and athletes?

00:08:48.640 Yeah.

00:08:49.120 And his stuff was like parties.

00:08:51.000 Yes.

00:08:51.400 Like not, not actually talking about, by the way, uh, uh, uh, an issue that CNN would

00:08:57.040 have praised.

00:08:57.960 Oh yeah.

00:08:58.360 As enlightened if Barack Obama had taken it on.

00:09:00.820 Oh yeah.

00:09:01.000 Absolutely.

00:09:01.340 Uh, instead, because it's Kim Kardashian and Donald Trump, it's being criticized.

00:09:04.320 So again, it's stuff like that, that your point, I believe, and correct me if I'm wrong,

00:09:08.800 is the media is doing such a terrible job because they dislike Trump so much that it's driving

00:09:16.980 people towards embracing Trump really, whether he has good policies or not.

00:09:22.480 Well, yes.

00:09:24.480 And the fact that things are going well, and they're not recognizing any of it, it makes

00:09:33.600 you just go, these people are out of their fricking mind.

00:09:38.240 I don't like all the stuff that Donald Trump does in his personal life, but you know what?

00:09:43.820 You guys can't even recognize reality anymore.

00:09:48.460 Right.

00:09:48.640 I don't want it.

00:09:49.500 I feel bad for him.

00:09:51.660 I mean, the Donald Trump doesn't need anybody to defend him.

00:09:55.020 He's pretty good at defending himself, but you actually feel bad for him.

00:10:00.100 You're like, okay, this is, I mean, it's, this is just a dog pile every day.

00:10:06.840 And it makes people say, screw you guys.

00:10:08.640 I'm throwing the hat on.

00:10:09.560 And that was the point of that.

00:10:10.380 That was the point.

00:10:10.980 Right.

00:10:11.280 I mean, that's, and you had made that point over and over, over and over again.

00:10:16.700 And I also had on and everyone's like, oh, wow.

00:10:19.080 Glenn's like, and they still don't get it.

00:10:21.040 It's like, they noticed that you've now done a monologue about Trump, but completely missed

00:10:25.500 the point on it.

00:10:26.260 And they also missed.

00:10:27.140 I think there is a third point.

00:10:28.180 And that is, I told you during the election, and this is like the ninth monologue I've, I

00:10:33.240 did on this.

00:10:33.880 I told you during the election, if I'm wrong, I'm going to be the first to admit it.

00:10:40.040 I'll be the first to admit it.

00:10:41.960 You won't have to, well, how come you won't?

00:10:44.240 I'll admit it.

00:10:45.880 And I have over and over again, two weeks ago from tomorrow, I put the hat on and I said it.

00:10:54.740 Oh my gosh.

00:10:56.180 Well, you know what?

00:10:58.920 Isn't that what we're supposed to do?

00:11:02.740 Millions of Americans saw something that I didn't see.

00:11:08.900 They believed something that I didn't believe.

00:11:13.640 They were right.

00:11:15.680 They were right.

00:11:17.620 I would never have expected.

00:11:19.540 Did you hear?

00:11:20.040 The reason why I brought the hat up is because today is another day that I think all Americans,

00:11:26.900 first of all, Kim Kardashian, we're talking prison reform.

00:11:31.120 This is a good thing for both sides.

00:11:35.260 We all agree on this.

00:11:38.420 The other thing, did you hear that what bill he signed yesterday?

00:11:43.040 He signed the right to try bill.

00:11:47.020 Now, tell me how this is a bad thing.

00:11:51.760 We all say this.

00:11:53.480 If anybody we know, if you know anyone with cancer or, you know, a deadly disease and they're

00:12:01.520 trying to get, they're trying to get an experimental drug, but government won't, you know, let them

00:12:07.160 standing in the way in the FDA.

00:12:09.300 We all say this.

00:12:12.280 What could be worse?

00:12:15.280 They take the drug and it kills them.

00:12:20.780 They were going to die anyway.

00:12:23.980 Give them a chance to try it.

00:12:27.440 We've all said this.

00:12:29.900 Yesterday, Donald Trump signed that bill.

00:12:32.200 If you have a terminal disease, if you have cancer, you have the right to try experimental drugs.

00:12:42.180 Now, there's a lot to be done on this and we, you know, we want to make sure that it's, you know, as safe as possible.

00:12:49.080 But you're going to die.

00:12:53.740 And the media can't say anything nice about that.

00:12:58.360 Now, I'm not looking for anybody to say, I'm not looking for, I've got to praise the president or the media really should praise the president.

00:13:08.880 I don't care.

00:13:10.640 Here's what I do care.

00:13:12.380 Is there anyone who will recognize reality?

00:13:15.900 I mean, we are denying reality.

00:13:22.140 You couldn't find anyone that was more outspoken on Donald Trump on the right than me.

00:13:29.540 Would you agree with that?

00:13:30.700 Sure.

00:13:31.380 Okay.

00:13:31.840 Couldn't find it.

00:13:33.820 I'm recognizing reality.

00:13:37.180 How is that so unusual in today's world?

00:13:41.900 This is the way we're supposed to be.

00:13:47.280 Wow.

00:13:48.080 Look, reality.

00:13:50.020 Not as bad as I thought it would be.

00:13:52.280 In fact, some really good things.

00:13:54.980 Yesterday, prison reform and the right to try.

00:14:02.420 There is nothing controversial about either of those things.

00:14:06.720 I mean, it's, this is just, it's, it's going to burn itself down.

00:14:14.160 It's going to burn itself down.

00:14:16.200 And it has nothing to do with Donald Trump and the chaos or the people who want to burn the system down or the revolutionaries on the, on the left, or it has nothing to do with any of that.

00:14:29.260 But Americans, Americans just want to hear the truth.

00:14:34.100 They just, they know what it is.

00:14:36.700 And they're tired of, I believe, a good portion, are tired of living in a world where we have to deny what we know is true.

00:14:47.100 And it's in every part of our life.

00:14:51.520 Every part.

00:14:52.920 How many genders are there? 1.00

00:14:54.300 Two.

00:14:54.900 There's two genders. 1.00

00:14:56.540 Two.

00:14:56.860 There's an X and a Y. 0.61

00:14:59.280 It's science.

00:15:00.680 Don't call me a science denier.

00:15:02.740 There's two.

00:15:05.500 It's science.

00:15:09.600 I have to deny this?

00:15:11.940 No, I'm not going to deny that.

00:15:14.740 Hey, are things getting better or are they getting worse?

00:15:18.820 Well, I don't know.

00:15:20.580 It feels like things are getting better.

00:15:23.080 The numbers show me that things are getting better.

00:15:27.340 Now, long term, I don't know.

00:15:30.120 But I can look along the way and say, wow, look at this.

00:15:34.660 Just yesterday.

00:15:37.060 Two things that every American agrees on.

00:15:39.840 And they're done.

00:15:42.340 Well, one of them is done.

00:15:44.200 One of them seems to be.

00:15:45.920 You know who's behind the prison reform thing besides Kim Kardashian?

00:15:49.460 Jim Acosta.

00:15:50.260 How dare you?

00:15:51.720 You know who's behind that?

00:15:54.480 Van Jones.

00:15:57.360 Van Jones is behind that.

00:16:01.880 Oh, wait a minute.

00:16:03.460 He works for CNN.

00:16:05.100 Man, this is a thing that you guys always hold up.

00:16:09.720 Here's the president actually talking about it and the Republicans moving towards it.

00:16:16.680 You know, the only reason why you don't report it like this is because you hate Donald Trump so much.

00:16:23.360 I wouldn't have been accused of hating Donald Trump.

00:16:26.260 I have reason to hate Donald Trump.

00:16:29.860 If you want to look at it this way, he has he has not helped me and I have not helped him.

00:16:36.140 So why should I hate him for doing to me what I have done to him?

00:16:41.200 If you want to look at it that way, I've been saying for the whole time, I don't hate him.

00:16:46.220 I just disagree with him.

00:16:48.180 But when I can no longer disagree with his policies or that he's not going to do those things.

00:16:54.580 You have to be driven by hate to deny reality.

00:17:00.880 You have to be the people who are yelling at us all the time.

00:17:04.280 This is a hate crime.

00:17:05.780 That's hate language that you're just trying to stir up hate.

00:17:10.100 Tell me about the hatred in your heart where you cannot admit that something good is happening that you have always wanted to happen.

00:17:22.760 The only reason why you wouldn't do that is because either you're just playing a game, which I think that's the usual answer, or in this case, you're just driven by hate.

00:17:39.480 Now, if I would have worn the hat, well, then.

00:17:54.480 Let me tell you about Liberty Safe.

00:17:57.940 Sorry, I'm losing my voice today, probably because I was screaming like a 14-year-old girl at Jordan Peterson last night.

00:18:04.180 It was like a crazy concert.

00:18:06.020 We have to talk about that.

00:18:07.000 Liberty Safe continues to just amaze me on the things that they do and the things that they come up with.

00:18:14.920 And now, the way they are making it easy for everyone to own a Liberty Safe.

00:18:20.300 Right now, you can buy a Liberty Safe at a really great price and get 12 months interest-free payments with zero down and zero APR.

00:18:30.400 Liberty Safes.

00:18:31.200 They offer them now for as little as $20 a month.

00:18:34.700 Liberty Safe, I've been in business with them for 8 or 10 years, and I've never seen them have a sale like this.

00:18:42.620 I've never seen, they've never done this before.

00:18:45.920 Peace of mind, lifetime warranty, in-house delivery that is unmatched in the industry.

00:18:52.180 You're going to put more things in your Liberty Safe than you even knew.

00:18:56.780 You're going to start going, well, that's kind of important.

00:18:59.340 I should have that in the safe.

00:19:01.080 That's why you should buy a bigger one.

00:19:03.560 That's the number one complaint.

00:19:04.780 Should have bought a bigger one.

00:19:26.540 Glenn back.

00:19:28.120 We have an update on prison reform and some news breaking on that front.

00:19:32.420 Donald Trump tweeting he will be giving a full pardon to Dinesh D'Souza today.

00:19:37.700 I love that.

00:19:39.680 I love that.

00:19:40.520 Dinesh has been very vocal in his advocacy for Trump.

00:19:45.420 However, what he was put in prison for was silly.

00:19:51.260 Oh, no, it was clearly.

00:19:53.180 I mean, I think he's one of the first political prisoners of my lifetime in America.

00:19:58.120 It was clearly he was a target.

00:20:01.520 Because Rosie O'Donnell has just done far worse. 1.00

00:20:05.420 And nobody's going after her.

00:20:10.520 We are so thrilled.

00:20:14.020 Monday, I hope to be making an announcement on a couple of pieces that are going to be coming for the Mercury Museum.

00:20:22.500 We have a limited exhibit that is going to be opened up for three days.

00:20:28.020 We're going to be making we're going to be showing you some really exciting things for the future.

00:20:35.640 But also the past correcting history and knowing what is true and what isn't.

00:20:44.300 It's our rights and responsibilities.

00:20:46.100 The Mercury exhibit part of our Mercury Museum effort.

00:20:51.020 It's happening on the Father's Day weekend, June 15th through the 17th.

00:20:55.660 Grab your tickets now.

00:20:57.620 You can just come for general admission.

00:20:59.260 We're all going to be there all weekend long.

00:21:01.260 I'm going to be giving tours.

00:21:02.340 You can sign up for special tours that are that are going to be given, you know, by me or Stu or or whoever.

00:21:08.680 But we're all going to be here and we would love to meet you.

00:21:11.480 It's Father's Day weekend.

00:21:13.280 The tickets are available now at mercuryone.org slash museum 2018.

00:21:19.780 Hopefully on Monday, I can announce one of the exhibits that is mind boggling, mind boggling that that it exists and that you're going to be able to see it.

00:21:33.120 But there's a couple of other things as well that correct history, correct history.

00:21:43.240 One of them is this letter I have in front of me here.

00:21:48.060 If you're watching, you want to bring the Russ, bring the camera over here.

00:21:51.340 If you're watching on on the Blaze TV, you can see this is a this is a handwritten letter from Thomas Paine.

00:22:01.180 And it starts out fellow citizens.

00:22:05.340 Now, Stu, what do you know about Thomas Paine?

00:22:08.060 Besides that he was a pamphleteer and what do you know about it?

00:22:11.460 Well, the big thing about him is that he's kind of like the left's favorite founding father.

00:22:16.380 Why?

00:22:16.820 Because he was an atheist, didn't care about God.

00:22:21.940 There were many aspects of larger government than the other founders that he appreciated.

00:22:27.020 Right.

00:22:27.180 He was he was a he was he's known as America's first atheist, the founding father that was an atheist.

00:22:35.560 Everybody else was a deist.

00:22:37.020 He's a straight out atheist.

00:22:39.860 Not according to this letter in his own hand.

00:22:44.160 He is responding to Benjamin Franklin and to Sam Adams in this letter.

00:22:50.760 And they both wrote him a nasty letter said, how can you possibly, you know, run the age of reason?

00:22:58.240 How can you possibly print that?

00:23:00.240 And you're denying God.

00:23:02.800 He says, no, that's not true.

00:23:08.400 Listen, listen to these words.

00:23:09.800 I have said in the first page of the part of the work that it had been long my intention to publish my thoughts on religion, but I reserved it to a later time in my life.

00:23:20.980 I have to tell you, first of all, why I published it at the time I did in the first place.

00:23:27.680 Now, remember, he goes over to France because he's a guy who sees the the French Revolution, has an argument with George Washington and says, you know, George, we how can you be how can you abandon the French?

00:23:43.200 They came here and helped us and their cause is our cause.

00:23:47.700 And Washington said, no, it's not.

00:23:50.560 You don't understand them.

00:23:53.900 No, this is not the same as the American Revolution.

00:23:58.080 Well, the two people that disagreed were Thomas Paine and Thomas Jefferson.

00:24:02.640 Paine went over.

00:24:04.220 Washington said, you go over there.

00:24:05.980 I am not lifting a finger when you're in trouble.

00:24:08.740 I will not involve the United States in that revolution, even if it means you're toast.

00:24:15.960 Just Paine never forgave Washington for that because Paine figured it out.

00:24:23.760 He got there and he he saw things and he was trying to write all the pamphlets defending the rights of the of the French and that this revolution was just.

00:24:34.480 And then they bring out the guillotines.

00:24:36.300 By the way, that's another thing that we have at the museum, a French guillotine.

00:24:41.480 It unbelievable stuff that you just don't want to miss at this museum.

00:24:47.640 So he sees the guillotines come out and he's like, guys, whoa, whoa, whoa, what what are you what are you doing?

00:24:52.840 This wasn't part of the American Revolution.

00:24:55.140 Then he sees that they desecrate the Cathedral of Notre Dame and they they name it the Temple of Reason.

00:25:01.620 And by the end of it, there are orgies on the altars there.

00:25:06.200 You know, we're talking human sacrifice.

00:25:08.540 It just goes crazy.

00:25:11.180 So he says in the first place, I saw my life in continual danger.

00:25:17.040 My friends were falling as fast as the guillotine could cut their heads off.

00:25:21.400 And as every day I expected the same fate, I resolved to write this work.

00:25:27.800 I appeared to my I appeared to myself to be on my deathbed for death was on every side of me.

00:25:34.780 And I had no time to lose this accounts for my writing at the time I did.

00:25:39.820 And so nicely did the time and attention meet that I had not yet finished the first part of the work when more than six hours before I was arrested and taken into prison.

00:25:50.420 So he finishes it and then he's taken into prison.

00:25:53.760 Now, listen to this.

00:25:56.300 In the second place, the people of France were running headlong into atheism.

00:26:04.820 And I and I had my work translated into their own language to stop them in that career.

00:26:15.000 So he's saying I'm trying to wake them up.

00:26:18.760 I'm speaking their language.

00:26:21.360 I'm trying to wake them up and make sure that they don't go into atheism.

00:26:27.240 He later goes on and says, let's see.

00:26:34.840 How could you possibly believe that I don't have reverential fear and love of a deity?

00:26:42.380 Did you not read my pamphlet?

00:26:46.680 And he quotes from it.

00:26:48.340 Do you want to contemplate his power?

00:26:50.540 We see it in the immensity of his creation.

00:26:53.120 Do we do we want to contemplate his wisdom?

00:26:55.780 We see it in the unchangeable order in which the incomprehensible world is governed.

00:27:00.700 Do we want to contemplate his magnificence?

00:27:03.640 We see it in the abundance in which he fills the earth, which he fills the earth.

00:27:09.200 Do we want to contemplate his mercy?

00:27:11.600 We see it in his not withholding that abundance, even from the unthankful.

00:27:17.820 Sounds like an atheist right there. 0.53

00:27:19.600 Totally.

00:27:20.320 Oh, my God.

00:27:20.940 Totally changes history.

00:27:23.040 Totally changes history.

00:27:24.440 I don't understand how we have that narrative if that letter exists, which you are currently holding, by the way.

00:27:32.040 I'm you will see it at the museum.

00:27:34.300 It's it's it's unbelievable.

00:27:36.600 We don't know which we're going to show for Lincoln, but there's a couple of things.

00:27:43.660 You know, they say that Lincoln didn't, you know, didn't care about black men and didn't care about slavery until halfway through the war.

00:27:51.060 Absolutely not true.

00:27:52.280 We have shown at other museum, you know, exhibitions here the letter that that Abraham Lincoln wrote to himself where he's trying to figure out how do I tell the American people that slavery is wrong?

00:28:09.160 How do I convince them of that?

00:28:11.400 It was written in the middle of the 1850s, long before he, quote, changed his mind and started to care about blacks and slavery.

00:28:19.080 There's something else that the museum just acquired, and I don't think we're going to show it this time.

00:28:24.920 They always say that Abraham Lincoln, he didn't read the Bible.

00:28:28.540 He didn't do anything until halfway through the war.

00:28:31.380 Then he started reading the Bible, but he didn't believe in any of it.

00:28:35.080 He didn't.

00:28:36.020 It just was not him.

00:28:38.200 He was an atheist as well.

00:28:39.980 We've just acquired a letter from 1851 to Mary Todd Lincoln telling her who her husband is because I've had firsthand knowledge because I invited him in 1851 to preach at my church.

00:28:59.620 And he got up and he did sermon after sermon after sermon on all the stories on the Bible, and he had better grasp of theology and God than any preacher I've ever heard.

00:29:16.060 So wait a minute.

00:29:17.480 Which is it?

00:29:18.740 Is that preacher writing a lie to Mary Todd Lincoln?

00:29:23.100 Or are our history books wrong?

00:29:26.900 The history books are wrong.

00:29:28.140 They're wrong.

00:29:30.680 Find out for yourself and see things that you've never seen before.

00:29:35.980 Monday, I hope to announce one of the pieces on Abraham Lincoln, and it is mind-boggling.

00:29:42.820 I didn't even know this still existed.

00:29:44.920 Didn't even know it.

00:29:45.680 And it's one of the biggest pieces in American history.

00:29:49.840 And hopefully it will be on display for three days only.

00:29:55.220 June 17th, June 15th through the 17th.

00:29:59.440 That's Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

00:30:01.400 Sunday is Father's Day.

00:30:02.800 It makes a great Father's Day gift.

00:30:05.640 Come to the Mercury Studios here in Las Colinas, Texas, and join us for our rights and responsibilities exhibition of the Mercury Museum.

00:30:15.900 So excited for that.

00:30:19.380 So excited for that.

00:30:21.360 The other thing is, I hope we're able to show in the museum the ad from Ambien that talks about all of the side effects.

00:30:31.300 You know, may cause cancer.

00:30:32.620 May, you know, not to be taken if you have epilepsy.

00:30:35.740 May also cause racism.

00:30:37.760 Oh, wait, it doesn't say that, does it?

00:30:40.860 Did you see what the Ambien response?

00:30:43.040 Yeah, that was an amazing world we live in.

00:30:46.600 Yeah, it really is.

00:30:48.080 Drug maker is chiming in on some culture issue.

00:30:51.280 I can't even follow it anymore.

00:30:52.880 No, no.

00:30:53.460 But it's amazing to me that a drug maker comes out and says, A, that they are commenting on an issue that is ridiculous to comment on.

00:31:04.540 And they comment and they say, by the way, that is definitely not one of the side effects of Ambien.

00:31:12.820 Ambien does not cause racism.

00:31:15.400 Now, were they making a political statement?

00:31:18.720 I think they were.

00:31:20.160 Political statement?

00:31:21.080 I think they were just saying, look, don't blame us.

00:31:23.380 This is not our, it's like every, you know, there's a problem.

00:31:26.100 The other is, are they making an actual statement about their drug because they want everybody to know?

00:31:32.140 No, no, it doesn't cause racism.

00:31:34.240 I think they know, everyone knows it doesn't cause racism.

00:31:37.000 I think they're trying to say like, hey, Roseanne, don't throw, don't bring us into the middle of your nonsense.

00:31:41.920 It's like, you know, all these products, how many have there been over the years?

00:31:45.020 Ryder Trucks, Kool-Aid.

00:31:47.460 Like, as soon as you hear those, you know, there's been so many of those brands, like Kool-Aid you think of.

00:31:53.080 Jim Jones, drink the Kool-Aid.

00:31:55.580 Ryder Trucks.

00:31:56.660 Yeah, I mean, you know, when you get sucked into a story that has nothing to do with you.

00:32:01.420 I mean, Ryder Trucks, you know, it wasn't a Ryder, Timothy McVeigh used a Ryder truck.

00:32:06.580 It's not Ryder Trucks' fault.

00:32:07.980 It's got nothing to do with you.

00:32:08.700 They weren't taking on the government.

00:32:10.360 Right.

00:32:10.540 Right?

00:32:10.820 Like, they, but then they, people just get that in their heads.

00:32:14.260 Yeah.

00:32:14.620 And it's tied to it.

00:32:15.520 And I think that's what the, you know, for so long, these brands couldn't do anything about it.

00:32:19.460 Like, it just became part of the story.

00:32:22.160 Now, with social media, they're coming out and saying, like, look, hey, don't blame us for your racism, lady.

00:32:26.420 Last night, and we're going to talk about Jordan Peterson here in a few minutes, but I was with Dave Rubin yesterday.

00:32:33.180 We spent the day with him.

00:32:34.180 Did a great interview with him.

00:32:36.260 You don't want to miss, in case you missed yesterday's show on The Blaze TV, just go to theblaze.com slash TV.

00:32:42.800 Watch last night's episode if you're a fan of Dave Rubin, but I spent the day with him and then went to Jordan Peterson's event with Dave last night.

00:32:54.360 Dave opens up, and then Jordan comes out.

00:32:58.080 It is one of the most bizarre and best things.

00:33:06.560 It just felt historic to be watching that last night.

00:33:10.620 It really did.

00:33:11.540 It was phenomenal, and we'll talk about that here in a second, but we're in this weird place.

00:33:18.940 He brought up Roseanne just briefly.

00:33:20.820 He didn't talk about politics at all, or maybe it was Dave that brought up Roseanne, and the crowd booed, and Dave said, wait, is that you're booing Roseanne or you're booing ABC?

00:33:38.500 What are you booing?

00:33:39.940 And it was this weird moment of, I'm not sure either.

00:33:45.200 I'm not sure what people are saying.

00:33:47.320 And somebody said freedom of speech, and we're put in this position now to where we are so sick of people because 10 years ago I supported Prop 8, and now I'm fired for it?

00:34:05.320 It was 10 years ago, and that's my political view.

00:34:10.700 What does that have anything to do with me being CEO?

00:34:13.920 We're so sick of it that even when common sense comes into play and says, yeah, that's going to destroy ABC for saying something like that.

00:34:24.600 We want nothing to do with it, and it's all because, again, the press and their hypocrisy.

00:34:30.540 If you haven't heard the latest on Joy Reid, who is still working for NBC, we'll share that next.

00:34:39.460 It's been a year since the WannaCry ransomware swept the globe, and what it did is it encrypted computers and was wreaking havoc.

00:34:52.560 Despite the potential billions of dollars in damage caused, hundreds of thousands of computers still exist with unpatched systems.

00:35:02.740 They're still vulnerable.

00:35:05.020 Get your system up to date.

00:35:07.580 Now, the rest of it, unfortunately, is in mostly your hands on that.

00:35:13.240 Outside of that, there's nothing else you can do.

00:35:16.040 There's so many threats in today's digital world.

00:35:18.520 That's why I highly recommend you get LifeLock Identity Theft Protection, which now includes the power of Norton Security for your added protection.

00:36:35.560 You don't want to miss next hour on most of this program.

00:36:42.680 Glenn Beck.

00:36:44.600 Another Russian journalist was killed.

00:36:48.720 Yesterday, there was a press conference about the Russian war reporter that was brutally murdered.

00:36:59.980 And at the end of the conference, the police chief made a surprise announcement.

00:37:07.900 Let me tell you the story.

00:37:10.560 Bebchenko is his name.

00:37:12.300 He was killed while he was on his way just to buy some bread.

00:37:16.600 He was found by his wife, shot three times in the back while he was in the stairwell outside of his apartment.

00:37:23.120 The initial report said he died on the way to the hospital.

00:37:30.140 Now, this is a war reporter from Russia that fled Russia February 2017.

00:37:38.100 He was receiving death threats.

00:37:40.160 And if you're a reporter in Russia, you know, you're not going to get any protection from the police because they're the ones that are after you.

00:37:48.220 His family had received death threats.

00:37:50.640 His home address was published online, accompanied by new threats.

00:37:55.900 He was a target and he knew it.

00:37:58.520 He had to get out.

00:37:59.980 So he fled to the Ukraine.

00:38:02.080 Now, me, I fly.

00:38:04.420 I flee someplace else.

00:38:06.200 But where in the world are you safe from Vladimir Putin?

00:38:09.700 So he was shot to death, I think, on Tuesday, and then the Ukraine and Russia got into a spat of accusations.

00:38:20.800 And so the police had a a press conference and the police officials stepped to the podium.

00:38:28.420 They had answers.

00:38:29.300 In fact, better yet, they had a suspect.

00:38:31.600 They announced one arrest.

00:38:34.080 They showed the video of the arrest and the guy that they had arrested had been paid $40,000 to kill this guy, the dissident reporter, who was a thorn in Vladimir Putin's side.

00:38:49.500 Then the police chief said, but I want you to hear this story from Babchenko.

00:38:58.000 So, OK, you're going to show us a video and like a ghost, this man appears.

00:39:06.760 And he walks on stage and he says, I'm still alive.

00:39:12.440 Now, here's what happened.

00:39:15.180 He said, I know the sickening feeling when you bury a colleague and I am sorry that I put you through this, but there was no other way.

00:39:23.460 He's not just talking to the people he was working with.

00:39:29.000 The Ukrainian police had been aware of the murder plot for months, and so he in secret had engineered with the police an elaborate sting operation.

00:39:41.260 They decided they were going to fake his death, but it had to be absolutely airtight and believable or it wouldn't work.

00:39:50.960 Even his wife didn't know she was the one who found him with bread and milk laying in a pool of what she thought was his own blood.

00:40:06.100 Can you imagine your wife?

00:40:09.480 Can you imagine how much trouble this guy is?

00:40:11.380 I think I'd rather face Putin than my wife after I faked my death for 24 hours.

00:40:18.520 There's no way.

00:40:20.140 We don't know if he is still alive today.

00:40:22.880 But at the press conference, he was alive.

00:40:27.020 If he dies now, I think it's a 60-40 shot that it's not Putin, but it's his wife.

00:40:34.820 Let me give you some good news.

00:40:46.940 I read this story today, and this actually made me feel good.

00:40:51.880 Listen to this.

00:40:52.640 Denver police shut down a lemonade stand put on by a group of brothers over a permitting issue.

00:41:00.600 When Jennifer Knowles helped her son set up their first lemonade stand over the weekend, she thought it would be a lesson in entrepreneurship and charity.

00:41:08.800 The boys went online.

00:41:09.920 They decided they wanted to help a child in another country less fortunate, so we found a place in Colorado Springs called Charity International, and they picked a five-year-old boy in Indonesia.

00:41:19.980 But they also got an unexpected lesson.

00:41:23.480 Turns out you need to have a permit to open a lemonade stand in Denver.

00:41:29.820 This is about public health and safety.

00:41:34.040 Bullcrap.

00:41:36.340 Bullcrap.

00:41:38.060 All right.

00:41:39.540 How does that make me feel good?

00:41:41.860 Because do you remember the days when this was happening all the time?

00:41:53.380 Do you remember the days when it seemed like every day there was another city that was busting some kid for a lemonade stand?

00:42:04.100 And we were all like, what the heck?

00:42:06.400 This is America.

00:42:08.660 No, first of all, nobody but neighbors buy the lemonade stand.

00:42:13.200 And you're lucky if it's a neighbor.

00:42:16.280 I mean, I see the kids on the sidewalk with the lemonade stand, and I'm like, yeah, I'm not going to.

00:42:21.200 No.

00:42:22.160 I'd like to.

00:42:23.320 Sometimes I'll just roll down the window and say, here's 10 bucks.

00:42:26.140 I don't want the lemonade.

00:42:27.520 Nobody's drinking it except family, generally speaking.

00:42:32.200 At this point, I'm more scared if you pull up.

00:42:35.060 You're some normal person, and you pull up to a random kid's lemonade stand.

00:42:40.220 You're going to be accused of a crime.

00:42:41.400 Oh, yeah.

00:42:42.240 I mean, you'll be on YouTube, you know, people accusing you of being creepy.

00:42:46.180 Right.

00:42:46.580 I mean, you just don't do it anymore.

00:42:48.540 However, what makes me feel good is when that was going on last time, it just felt like it was the direction of the country.

00:43:04.000 It just felt as, and I know it wasn't, but it felt almost coordinated.

00:43:11.360 We're all socialists now.

00:43:13.200 And it was horrible.

00:43:18.020 And remember, we had the National Lemonade Day where we had everybody, you know, and people put lemonade stands up all over.

00:43:28.060 Because we were making the point, I have a right to do this.

00:43:31.980 And it just, while it's still going on, it just feels like that's something we need to be worried about and something we need to watch.

00:43:43.620 But it's not that we're not surrounded by Marxists, even though we are, that we're not surrounded by Marxists.

00:43:52.960 And I think that's worth recognizing.

00:43:57.720 We still have problems.

00:44:00.220 And, you know, we were with Jordan Peterson last night.

00:44:03.180 We're sitting backstage with him.

00:44:04.320 We're talking.

00:44:04.840 And he's like, you know, the heart of this whole thing is coming out of the universities.

00:44:09.960 And, you know, we just got us with the university system.

00:44:13.340 It's just going to break down.

00:44:15.080 And there are seven reasons why.

00:44:19.140 Seven.

00:44:20.000 And he just starts lifting them off.

00:44:22.120 We're just having a conversation.

00:44:23.680 And he's like, well, point number one, point number two, point number three.

00:44:27.200 Like, man, this guy is so well thought out.

00:44:31.060 But there was something in going to Jordan Peterson last night that Dave Rubin said to me yesterday.

00:44:41.040 He's been opening for him doing some comedy.

00:44:44.060 And he said, he said, Glenn, there's just a different feeling.

00:44:49.000 You just walk in and there's just a different feeling.

00:44:50.820 And he said, but you'll understand when you walk in.

00:44:55.500 And there was a different feeling.

00:44:57.820 Now, here's the thing.

00:44:59.760 Jordan spoke before and after and even a little bit on stage.

00:45:04.240 He's like, I don't know why people come.

00:45:06.140 I don't know why this is.

00:45:07.380 I mean, it's sold out city after city after city.

00:45:10.040 Make sure you I think you can go to Jordan Peterson dot com and get tickets.

00:45:14.720 Make sure you go.

00:45:16.220 He's definitely coming to a city near you.

00:45:18.860 He's already done 30 cities.

00:45:20.320 He's doing another 30 in the next two months.

00:45:22.980 I sat there and I felt like I couldn't find the right person to attach it to because these aren't right.

00:45:37.800 But it was almost it felt like I was watching a Mark Twain and not because of his storytelling ability, because parts of it are like this so heady that you're like, what?

00:45:49.620 I don't know who to compare it to, but it felt like we were doing something historic that you were sitting there listening to this man in a way that I haven't heard anyone else do.

00:46:03.440 This was a this was a room full of regular people of all ages, black, white, young, old across the spectrum, and they were gathered to listen to stuff that made my head hurt.

00:46:22.700 The first 15 minutes, I'm thinking to myself, I said this to Jordan afterwards, I said, Jordan, I mean, I don't I hope I don't offend you, but I don't think this is going to come as a surprise.

00:46:34.220 But the first 10 or 15 minutes, I couldn't have been alone going.

00:46:39.600 I don't know what the hell he's even talking about.

00:46:41.780 It was so he's so cerebral that you're like, it takes him a while before you're like, OK, OK, I really have to concentrate.

00:46:51.280 And then once it starts in, you know, you get that first 10 to 20 minutes out of the way, then you're like, you kind of settle into it because you haven't heard anyone speak like this ever.

00:47:01.720 At least in a long time.

00:47:04.440 And there's no politics or anything else.

00:47:07.460 And so he said on stage and he said before and after, I don't know why people are coming.

00:47:12.100 I don't know what they're looking for.

00:47:14.000 And he said, I think they're not looking for a political solution.

00:47:18.000 He said there, I think they're looking to fix their own lives.

00:47:24.080 And I think I told him afterwards, I said, it's very clear to me why this is, why this, why you're, why you are being treated like the Beatles in England.

00:47:39.720 I mean, it's crazy what's happening with him.

00:47:43.320 And as I was watching it, it was so clear.

00:47:51.700 Here's a guy who has spent his life.

00:47:55.560 As a psychologist or psychiatrist and trying to figure out how the mind works.

00:48:02.700 I mean, he's probably, you know, a Freud or a young of our time and trying to figure out how humans work.

00:48:14.160 And he explains it so well and he's so thorough.

00:48:21.780 And you're listening and it's interesting.

00:48:24.820 And it's compelling.

00:48:27.320 But it's hopeful.

00:48:30.320 Because you know he knows what he's talking about.

00:48:33.580 And you know he's being honest and clinical.

00:48:39.180 And what he, what he says about halfway through, you're starting to, you're listening to him.

00:48:47.000 And all of a sudden you're starting to be filled with hope.

00:48:50.060 Because he really means we're going to make it.

00:48:53.700 We have, we're, it's going to be really dicey.

00:48:56.360 But he's not talking about, you know, the economy or anything else.

00:49:00.440 He's talking about you.

00:49:02.220 And he said, you know, when I, I study the Holocaust, you could get really depressed.

00:49:09.200 Or you could see that man always survives.

00:49:14.440 Even the worst that other humans can do.

00:49:18.840 He said, we're stronger than anybody thinks we are.

00:49:22.860 And he spoke highly of America and, and, you know, our rights and our understanding.

00:49:28.120 And he's like, America understands it better than anybody.

00:49:30.620 And he's like, we're going to make it.

00:49:33.300 As long as we choose, we're going to make it.

00:49:36.420 And it was so hopeful.

00:49:39.580 I think people are connecting with him.

00:49:42.560 Because he's not giving you a political solution.

00:49:45.580 I've been telling you for a while.

00:49:47.080 It's not, it's, it's not going to come from politics.

00:49:49.440 I don't have the answer.

00:49:51.020 But it's not going to come from politics.

00:49:54.340 That's what he's saying.

00:49:56.040 Except he's done, you know, 40 years of research.

00:49:59.840 To understand exactly why.

00:50:02.880 And it does go back to what we've talked about for a very long time together.

00:50:07.980 You just have to take care of yourself.

00:50:11.200 Clean up your own room first.

00:50:13.340 Clean up your own life first.

00:50:15.480 And just concentrate on, he said something last night I thought was really brilliant.

00:50:19.580 He said, people ask me if I pray all the time.

00:50:23.780 And he said, you know, depends on what you, how you define prayer.

00:50:28.740 And he said, I meditate and I do pray.

00:50:35.240 He said, but I pray in a different way.

00:50:37.560 He said, you have to be honest first.

00:50:41.200 He said, you have to be willing to receive the answer.

00:50:45.500 He said, a lot of us pray and then we want the answer that we want.

00:50:49.520 And we're not going to listen to, you know, another answer.

00:50:52.760 And he said, I don't want the big answer because it's too big.

00:50:59.100 I can't do that.

00:51:03.000 He said, so I pray every day that I find some small, doable, almost insignificant thing

00:51:14.320 that I know I can do that will make me a little bit better than I was yesterday.

00:51:21.380 Anyway, he explains, he explained, you know, it's, it's, it's not whether you win or lose.

00:51:34.240 It's, it's how you play the game.

00:51:37.260 And then he said, your kid, you said it to your kid.

00:51:40.900 They don't know what you're talking about.

00:51:42.940 And quite frankly, neither do you.

00:51:46.080 He said, none of us do.

00:51:47.260 And then he explained what that actually means.

00:51:53.500 I'll explain it in just a second.

00:51:56.220 And once you understand what little things like that actually mean to us and why that

00:52:02.340 phrase is so important, all of a sudden you're like, he's right.

00:52:08.600 That, that works.

00:52:11.000 That's what is going to make it across the finish line.

00:52:16.460 That's what's going to take us.

00:52:18.280 If we understand things like this, that's, what's going to help us move in a new direction

00:52:26.080 and, and bypass this temporary blip in our history where we've all in some way or another

00:52:35.180 gone insane.

00:52:36.180 I'll do my best to share what he shared last night coming up in a second.

00:52:43.320 But if you, you have to go see Jordan Peterson, uh, Dave Rubin opened up.

00:52:51.640 I mean, a conservative comedian.

00:52:53.640 What?

00:54:01.340 Glenn Beck.

00:54:02.220 So Jordan Peterson, uh, last night on tour here in Dallas, sold out.

00:54:07.100 Unbelievable.

00:54:08.380 Um, he, he broke life down into really, um, meaningful and easy applications.

00:54:16.580 He talked about how we tell our children, it's not whether you win or lose.

00:54:20.540 It's how you play the game.

00:54:21.560 And now we're starting to reject that.

00:54:23.500 We're like, ah, it doesn't, it's whether you'll enter.

00:54:25.780 No, it's not.

00:54:26.900 And here's why he said, this game is not your life.

00:54:34.260 Your life is a series of games over and over and over again.

00:54:40.040 You're going to be playing game after game, after game, after game, after game.

00:54:43.340 So it's not about this game.

00:54:47.360 What it is about is giving you the best opportunity to always be in the game.

00:54:55.360 And the only way that happens is if you don't lie, cheat, steal, you know, be a sore loser.

00:55:02.180 Because once you do that, the rest of people are going to say, I don't want to play with him.

00:55:07.820 I don't want to be with him.

00:55:10.300 And so he said, the best thing that we can do for our kids and for ourselves is to always play fairly and honestly.

00:55:19.380 Or we're not going to be welcome at the next game.

00:55:24.820 And we've got to be in the game.

00:55:28.360 To me, I don't know if that changed anything, but it's certainly clarified.

00:55:34.940 He did, it was a clarifying moment.

00:55:38.600 The entire night was like that.

00:55:40.760 You're like, that's why that's so important.

00:55:44.440 That's why.

00:55:45.200 Now I really understand that principle.

00:55:51.140 And when he got to the end and he's like, we're going to make it.

00:55:57.720 And he said it with tears in his eyes.

00:56:00.300 You believe him.

00:56:01.900 You believe him.

00:56:02.820 And I do.

00:56:04.400 Very, very optimistic.

00:56:06.440 And the media is missing the, what am I saying that for?

00:56:12.840 Duh.

00:56:15.200 But they just don't see it.

00:56:16.580 Not a word of politics in it.

00:56:18.900 And so uniting and uplifting.

00:56:21.740 That's the other thing that you're going to get from this is, here's a guy who will talk to anybody.

00:56:28.500 You know, we can't reach out to the other side.

00:56:30.340 Well, he is.

00:56:32.060 And it's working.

00:56:33.300 And it's showing we can have a civil dialogue and drill down to the things that are true and be decent about it.

00:56:42.680 There is an amazing article in the New York Times, how Trump's election shook Obama,

00:56:58.140 that has a moment of clarity for Barack Obama that I think is probably the best explanation I have heard on why Donald Trump won.

00:57:14.740 Yeah, the story is focused on Ben Rhodes, who is an Obama advisor.

00:57:18.860 You might remember him as the guy who admitted to fooling reporters about the Iran deal and saying how good it was.

00:57:26.620 Yep.

00:57:26.860 Ah, they're all 27-year-olds.

00:57:28.160 They don't know anything about this.

00:57:29.200 We can tell them whatever we want.

00:57:30.300 And he admitted that bizarrely on record.

00:57:32.620 Yep.

00:57:32.780 So that's that guy.

00:57:34.500 He has a new book coming out about the election and everything that was going on.

00:57:40.440 And HBO has a documentary coming out.

00:57:42.720 Now, the documentary is called The Final Year.

00:57:45.520 And so there's two things to this, the New York Times story and this video from HBO, which has gone very viral because it is, I mean.

00:57:53.580 I haven't seen it yet.

00:57:54.400 You haven't seen this yet?

00:57:55.120 No.

00:57:55.360 So Ben Rhodes, night of the election, he's just realized that Hillary Clinton did not win.

00:58:02.020 Here's how that went.

00:58:03.680 I just came outside to try to process all this.

00:58:12.760 It's a lot to process.

00:58:16.000 I mean.

00:58:16.300 I can't even.

00:58:25.820 I can't even.

00:58:35.260 I can't.

00:58:37.700 I can't.

00:58:38.700 I can't even say anything.

00:58:39.500 I mean, I, I, I, I can't, I can't, I can't put it into words.

00:58:53.800 I don't know what the words are.

00:58:55.060 I mean, it's.

00:58:56.740 That was this.

00:58:58.860 So you, this is breaking news.

00:59:01.420 Nobody else has heard this yet before.

00:59:03.680 But that was actually Hillary Clinton's speech that she was going to give that night.

00:59:10.100 That's why they waited till the next day.

00:59:12.780 Can you imagine?

00:59:13.440 That was what everybody, everybody in the Clinton camp, including Hillary Clinton, felt that way.

00:59:20.860 They were like, I don't, I, I don't even.

00:59:25.980 What happened?

00:59:27.780 You know, this doesn't, this just doesn't even look right.

00:59:31.060 What happened here?

00:59:32.360 Yeah.

00:59:32.900 They just didn't understand it.

00:59:35.540 Now, the internet being the internet has set that to all sorts of different famous sad music from history, which is pleasurable to watch, even though, I mean, it's very sad and it rips your heart out.

00:59:50.380 It is a little pleasurable.

00:59:51.900 It doesn't really rip my heart out.

00:59:54.000 Oh, you didn't feel for Ben there?

00:59:55.280 No.

00:59:55.880 The guy who basically lied us into a deal with terrorists?

00:59:58.560 Yeah.

00:59:59.020 No, I don't feel too bad for him either.

01:00:00.260 But it's interesting to see this because he has a new book coming out and it reveals some nuggets from right around the time of the election, including Barack Obama riding around in a limo right after the election, asking, what if we were wrong?

01:00:16.020 Well, hang on, what?

01:00:18.480 What if we were wrong?

01:00:19.740 He's, Obama asked his aides riding around in the limousine.

01:00:23.740 He had read a column asserting that liberals had forgotten how important identity was to people and had promoted an empty cosmopolitan globalism that made many feel left behind.

01:00:32.900 Now, listen to that.

01:01:02.900 Then he loses it.

01:01:05.700 Maybe people just want to fall back into their tribe.

01:01:09.300 No, no, that's not what people that now.

01:01:14.600 That's where this is where the left and President Obama.

01:01:21.040 Lose every time, every time.

01:01:24.440 Listen to what he said.

01:01:25.440 Maybe people just want to fall back into their tribe, meaning there really are bad people.

01:01:32.740 Maybe just, you know, people are just bad.

01:01:36.780 No.

01:01:37.960 The first part that you said, what if we were wrong?

01:01:41.080 Okay, good.

01:01:43.340 That's the first sign of humility.

01:01:48.040 It was, you drove us into this ditch.

01:01:51.680 Go in the back of the car.

01:01:53.600 You wouldn't listen.

01:01:55.180 You wouldn't listen to half of the country.

01:01:58.280 So, some humility.

01:02:00.080 What if we were wrong?

01:02:02.080 Maybe we pushed too far.

01:02:04.340 Yes.

01:02:05.720 But it's important.

01:02:07.260 The column that he wrote.

01:02:09.620 How important identity was to people.

01:02:12.480 And he had promoted an empty cosmopolitan globalism that made people feel left behind.

01:02:18.420 This is what's happening in the entire Western world.

01:02:21.360 And the best way I can explain it is, because I live in Texas, the true Texan attitude, which

01:02:30.820 is starting to be lost, unfortunately, but the true Texan attitude is, they love Texas.

01:02:38.880 If you've ever run into a Texan, all they want to talk about is the great state of Texas

01:02:45.980 and how great that state of Texas is.

01:02:48.520 It's the greatest state in the Union.

01:02:50.040 You know that, right?

01:02:50.800 I mean, we're really even almost our own country, because we're just so great.

01:02:55.600 I mean, they go on and on and on.

01:02:58.120 However, they do not hate other states.

01:03:03.660 They'll always say the same thing.

01:03:05.420 A true Texan will always say the same thing.

01:03:07.620 Well, except for Oklahoma.

01:03:09.540 They will always say the same thing.

01:03:12.260 Where are you from?

01:03:13.600 Kansas.

01:03:14.380 Oh, that's a great place, I hear.

01:03:16.140 Not like Texas, but I hear it's great.

01:03:18.480 They don't hate other states.

01:03:23.120 What Obama is saying is, wow, maybe people just want to fall back into their tribe.

01:03:29.300 No, Mr. President.

01:03:31.440 No to all the Western world.

01:03:34.080 We're just proud of who we are and where we came from.

01:03:42.600 We're just proud of that.

01:03:45.400 I mean, how can a man who is so proud and discovered where he was from when he went for the dreams of my father,

01:03:55.220 where he was proud of where he came from?

01:04:00.420 Metaphorically, not with a birth certificate.

01:04:04.440 How does he not understand that others have that same pride?

01:04:08.080 And that doesn't mean we do want to identify ourselves as Americans and be proud of that.

01:04:16.400 But that doesn't mean we hate Canada or Mexico or Europe or anybody else.

01:04:21.560 We don't hate them.

01:04:23.960 We want to get along in the family of nations.

01:04:27.840 But we are unique.

01:04:30.160 And so are Germans. 0.95

01:04:31.600 They're unique.

01:04:32.540 You don't want to let them build a military.

01:04:36.780 I'm just saying.

01:04:38.420 Each country is unique.

01:04:40.560 And what's happening in Europe is it's not that they hate other people.

01:04:45.400 It's that they they're they're English.

01:04:49.600 They're English.

01:04:50.860 And they they they have been a great nation for a long, long time.

01:04:56.720 Why am I denying that we're we're a great nation?

01:05:00.300 That we've had our problems, we've done bad things, but we've also we've also done some amazing things.

01:05:07.080 Why should I be ashamed of that?

01:05:08.880 Why am I erased the French? 0.95

01:05:11.400 They actually are proud to be snots. 0.94

01:05:15.400 I mean, if that's what makes them happy, they're French. 0.93

01:05:19.520 Oh, OK.

01:05:20.900 They're proud of their heritage.

01:05:22.960 Doesn't mean that they hate the Spaniards.

01:05:25.580 No, Mr. President, we're not bad people.

01:05:31.140 We're good people.

01:05:32.740 And there's nothing wrong with recognizing your heritage.

01:05:38.480 It doesn't mean that we're monsters.

01:05:42.060 It means we're just like you.

01:05:44.200 When will you and others on the left begin to understand that?

01:05:52.380 And it wasn't even just borders, right?

01:05:55.900 Their entire campaign was designed to say, if you don't agree with us that evil white men have been oppressing everyone else and that you are partially guilty for that, even if you haven't done any of the actions of oppression, you haven't actually been racist or actually been homophobic or actually been anti whatever.

01:06:15.720 You're still guilty because you by association because of your privilege.

01:06:21.900 And that was essentially their entire campaign.

01:06:25.300 Their entire campaign was evil white men victimizing every other group.

01:06:30.480 And if you happen to be in one of these favored groups, you are guilty by association in that that culture of oppression.

01:06:38.480 And so people inherently feel violated by that, right?

01:06:43.340 You know, what are you talking about?

01:06:44.900 I didn't do those things.

01:06:46.360 I'm not that person.

01:06:48.040 So the idea that that wouldn't be successful isn't a surprise to me or to you.

01:06:54.500 I think everybody knew that Hillary Clinton was a terrible candidate with the exception of maybe Hillary Clinton. 1.00

01:07:02.520 And Ben Rhodes outlines this.

01:07:04.460 Again, Ben Rhodes is an Obama aide.

01:07:06.600 He writes this.

01:07:08.520 Mr. Obama and his team were confident Mrs. Clinton would win and like much of the country were shocked when she did not.

01:07:13.600 Quote, I couldn't shake the feeling that I should have seen it coming because when you distilled it, if you stripped out the racism and misogyny, of course, that's what they're going to say, right?

01:07:23.120 It's racism and misogyny.

01:07:24.400 But when you distilled it, when you strip out the racism and misogyny, we'd run against Hillary Clinton eight years ago with the same message Trump had used.

01:07:32.340 She's part of a corrupt establishment that can't be trusted to bring change. 1.00

01:07:36.600 Yes, that is actually a great observation.

01:07:40.880 It's amazing.

01:07:41.400 He made it.

01:07:41.800 You know what?

01:07:42.800 Without ever saying these words, that's what Trump was running on.

01:07:47.820 Hope and change just in a completely different way.

01:07:52.780 But you had both sides.

01:07:55.560 Remember, Barack Obama, you know, it 2008, you didn't have a lot of Republicans who were really thrilled to be voting for John McCain.

01:08:08.780 He didn't have anybody's like, oh, I love they may have been against Barack Obama because of because of his policies or Jeremiah Wright or whatever.

01:08:16.820 But they were not for John McCain.

01:08:19.680 They had never seen their side promise any kind of change.

01:08:24.420 And they wanted it because they knew it was corrupt in 2008.

01:08:29.280 And so what happened?

01:08:31.020 Hope and change comes in.

01:08:33.220 But that half of the country was completely ignored.

01:08:37.560 And so it got worse for half of the country.

01:08:42.900 Well, what do you think they're going to do?

01:08:45.160 They're going to find the guy with the biggest stick that will beat you back into the corner because, A, you've ignored them and they feel abused them.

01:08:55.520 They have not seen anything that is hopeful.

01:08:59.440 And at the same time, you've blamed them for everything, everything.

01:09:07.200 They want change, too, because they knew that it was corrupt.

01:09:11.960 And then you offer up a corrupt person that has been in the system forever.

01:09:18.460 And even, you know, she's corrupt. 1.00

01:09:21.540 Yeah, I mean, that was their tactic.

01:09:23.300 There was very little space policy-wise between Clinton and Obama in 2008, other than Obama being against the individual mandate and Clinton wanting it.

01:09:32.180 There wasn't much space in between them.

01:09:34.340 The space that they wound up creating was that she would not do anything to buck the establishment.

01:09:41.760 She is the establishment.

01:09:43.320 She's corrupt. 0.99

01:09:44.540 She's been there forever.

01:09:45.880 She's not going to change things.

01:09:47.280 That is the tactic Obama used.

01:09:49.080 And it worked.

01:09:49.700 And then they were all stunned that this same exact tactic worked again against the same person.

01:09:57.060 If you didn't want that tactic to be used, you shouldn't have run Hillary Clinton. 0.98

01:10:01.460 But it's amazing to me how the press said afterwards, we're stunned by this.

01:10:10.460 What happened?

01:10:11.960 How did this happen?

01:10:13.060 And they claimed that they really wanted to know.

01:10:20.300 I can tell you firsthand, they did not want to know.

01:10:23.320 They didn't want to hear it.

01:10:24.760 They just wanted to hear somebody.

01:10:26.700 They wanted somebody on our side to vent to.

01:10:30.340 But they did not want to learn from the lesson.

01:10:32.980 And in fact, I mean, we should probably talk about Samantha Bee.

01:10:37.180 In fact, just the opposite.

01:10:39.060 They are making things so much worse.

01:10:44.020 And they just they don't seem to care.

01:10:49.480 It's sad.

01:10:51.940 It's sad.

01:10:52.840 All right.

01:10:56.520 Let me talk to you a little bit about Goldline.

01:11:01.380 Last night and last few nights, I've been having some really kind of deep conversations

01:11:07.900 with people about the economy and and what we're headed for.

01:11:12.940 Jordan Peterson and I were we're talking and I said, so, Jordan, what what happens to us

01:11:18.180 if we have if we have massive inflation or if, you know, if we really head into trouble?

01:11:24.860 And that was the one thing that I think made him very concerned.

01:11:29.620 He was like, if if the economy falls apart, especially with high inflation rates, he's we're

01:11:35.820 in trouble.

01:11:36.640 We've got to fix this.

01:11:37.720 He's pretty optimistic until he's like, well, if there's a shock of a certain level.

01:11:42.480 Yeah.

01:11:42.840 We can't necessarily hold it together.

01:11:45.060 Yeah.

01:11:45.400 He's, you know, and he cited several examples from history.

01:11:48.260 Yeah.

01:11:48.960 Where that's been the there's been negative factors in an environment.

01:11:53.840 But when you introduce negative shock to an economy, it gets a lot worse.

01:11:58.520 But he said, you know, it takes about 20 percent.

01:12:01.200 He said, I think it's about 20 percent of the population that has fixed themselves and

01:12:05.920 are prepared.

01:12:06.440 And that will change everything.

01:12:08.100 And I completely agree with him.

01:12:10.320 Now, one of the things that you have to do, because inflation, high inflation, that hurts

01:12:18.440 the saver.

01:12:19.400 If you're way in debt, you're great.

01:12:21.700 If you have inflation and you are a responsible person, it's bad for you.

01:12:28.040 So you've got to find out if gold or silver is right for you.

01:12:31.780 It is for my family.

01:12:32.920 It is a hedge against inflation and insanity.

01:12:36.800 Call 866-GOLD-LINE, 1-866-GOLD-LINE.

01:12:40.840 Read their important risk information, but prepare yourself.

01:12:44.120 1-866-GOLD-LINE or goldline.com.

01:12:50.420 And there's a couple of things going on that you should be aware of today.

01:12:54.760 Hands on history premieres on our YouTube channel or the Blaze Facebook page.

01:13:01.820 Look for it today.

01:13:04.080 It is a different way of teaching history all through real life artifacts from the collection

01:13:11.220 and tied together in ways that you haven't seen.

01:13:16.480 It's called Hands on History.

01:13:17.940 It's on the Blaze YouTube channel and Facebook page.

01:13:22.380 It will premiere today.

01:13:24.860 You don't want to miss it.

01:13:25.800 Hands on history.

01:13:26.760 Hey, everybody.

01:13:31.780 The most senior North Korean representative to visit the U.S. in 18 years arrived in Washington yesterday.

01:13:39.180 Oh, I love this guy.

01:13:40.880 Kim Yong-chol.

01:13:43.040 He's great.

01:13:44.940 He is the trusted advisor to Kim Jong-un, which raises the question.

01:13:49.960 How much of a monster do you have to become to be one of Kim Jong-un's trusted advisors?

01:13:59.040 Because because Chol is I mean, he's great.

01:14:03.680 Former chief of the North Korean Military Intelligence Agency.

01:14:07.980 He's in Washington discussing a potential meeting between President Trump and Kim Jong-un.

01:14:12.980 And he can't rule, you know, he can't rule out the possibility that he's really here to shop at Costco for Kim Jong-un. 0.66

01:14:22.200 I'm not sure, but there's pallets of Diet Coke that are hard to come by in Kim's communist paradise. 0.72

01:14:29.140 And he loves it.

01:14:31.160 So now the last time there was such a high level contact between the U.S. and North Korea in Washington was when Joe Mong-Young Rock, I think I love Joe.

01:14:44.840 He or she is there.

01:14:46.480 Right.

01:14:47.140 Anyway, that's the person who met with President Clinton in 2000.

01:14:52.540 That meeting was so productive that we're here now 18 years later, starting over from scratch.

01:14:59.100 And I think that's great.

01:15:00.700 So South Korea considers Chol one of the most powerful people in North Korea.

01:15:06.620 He is the director of the United Front Department, which oversees relations with South Korea.

01:15:13.260 He's the vice chairman of the ruling Workers Party Central Community.

01:15:18.580 He's also a four star general.

01:15:21.260 I've heard that he I think he is the guy who leaves the leaves the mints on Kim Jong-un's pillow and then reads in bedtime stories, which.

01:15:28.900 Good night, President Moon is supposed to be his favorite.

01:15:33.200 Chol was North Korea's official envoy to the Winter Olympics in South Korea.

01:15:39.420 He was the guy sitting right next to Kim Jong-un's sister, which was great.

01:15:45.520 You know, remember all the slaves behind them?

01:15:48.000 They got so much attention.

01:15:49.360 So those two are there.

01:15:50.740 No word yet if they're an item, you know, but we'll I'm sure TMZ will be all over that TMZ in the DMZ is it's an idea TMZ.

01:16:02.000 I'm just giving it to you for free.

01:16:03.160 The State Department has now had to grant Chol special permission to visit Washington because he's kind of on Santa's naughty list. 0.98

01:16:13.500 He's been blacklisted for his involvement in the 2014 cyber attack on Sony.

01:16:19.580 But that was so long ago.

01:16:22.680 Sony, I'm sure, doesn't even remember that.

01:16:25.100 And because of his aggressive past, South Korea has been shocked by his sudden willingness to talk peace.

01:16:36.760 Hmm.

01:16:37.980 Now, I'm a fan of movies.

01:16:40.640 And just because you see him in the movies, it doesn't make it real.

01:16:46.120 And it's probably it's probably not going to.

01:16:49.460 Well, I can guarantee you a giant fish face guy is not going to say it's a trap.

01:16:55.280 But I think somebody should say it's a trap.

01:17:00.600 It hasn't always been smooth sailing for Chol, though.

01:17:04.600 Well, just two, two years ago, he was demoted to a three star general because he fell asleep during a meeting.

01:17:13.140 But, you know, the last guy who got caught catching some Z's in a meeting with Kim was executed and he was executed. 0.93

01:17:22.800 But I mean, at least they have a sense of humor.

01:17:25.500 They tied that guy to the front of an anti aircraft gun and then just blew his guts into the sky.

01:17:34.160 Ah, that's so great, isn't it?

01:17:38.280 You know, that's the way the cookie crumbles in Kim Jong Un's world.

01:17:42.220 You know, if they had cookies there.

01:17:47.960 They don't they don't have cookies.

01:17:51.080 It's Thursday, May 31st.

01:17:54.000 You're listening to the Glenn Beck program, especially fortune cookies.

01:17:58.700 You're going to be sent to a labor camp.

01:18:01.160 That's what all of them said.

01:18:02.900 But so on this program, I've been saying for a while, really, the thing that kind of set this off to two people that I I was invited to see Andy Williams.

01:18:16.640 Andy Williams called me.

01:18:17.880 I was in Los Angeles and he said, Glenn, it's my Christmas show.

01:18:20.980 So that Christmas album from Andy Williams was a classic in my family.

01:18:25.660 And it reminded me of my mother for a story we don't have to go into.

01:18:30.040 But it was very, very sentimental to me.

01:18:32.600 And to have Andy Williams call me and say, Glenn, I want you to come out.

01:18:35.880 My Christmas show was so cool.

01:18:38.900 And I didn't do it because we got busy and there was a snowstorm.

01:18:42.520 So we had to leave.

01:18:43.980 Otherwise, I wouldn't.

01:18:44.960 And he died right after that.

01:18:46.540 And it just it's bothered me when we bought Tokyo Rose's microphone and I found out that she had died about three years before I was devastated.

01:18:58.400 I would have loved to talk to her, but we just never think that we can talk to people.

01:19:04.120 We need to.

01:19:05.280 I want to talk to remember baby Jessica, not a baby anymore.

01:19:09.360 I'd love to talk to her.

01:19:10.540 I want to talk to the guy who was standing next to George Bush when he grabbed the bullhorn and he said, I hear you and the whole world here hears you.

01:19:21.360 I want to talk to that guy.

01:19:23.280 Is he even still alive?

01:19:25.680 So I've been talking about this for a while and I wanted to introduce you to a guy.

01:19:29.260 His name is Rishi Sharma.

01:19:31.420 He is the founder of a nonprofit group, Heroes of the Second World War.

01:19:36.220 He has the most incredible childhood story I think I've ever heard.

01:19:42.300 Rishi, welcome to the program.

01:19:44.840 Hi, sir.

01:19:45.380 Thank you for having me on to talk about the heroes of the Second World War.

01:19:49.120 So, Rishi, you're 20 now?

01:19:52.000 Yes, sir.

01:19:52.780 OK.

01:19:53.620 And you live in California.

01:19:57.080 And that's where I grew up.

01:19:58.460 I haven't been back home for the past two years.

01:20:00.700 I've been on the road interviewing World War Two veterans every day.

01:20:04.100 That's crazy.

01:20:04.740 So can we take you back, Rishi, to how old were you when you started reading books on World War Two?

01:20:13.200 Ever since I was a little kid, sir, I've always been interested in World War Two.

01:20:17.060 I would read as many books as I could get my hands on.

01:20:19.940 I would watch the television programs.

01:20:22.620 And I just was always fascinated with it.

01:20:26.000 You know, when I was a little kid, all I ever wanted to be was a Marine.

01:20:29.400 But when I thought of a Marine, I thought of an 18-year-old with nothing but the shirt on his back and a rifle in his hand,

01:20:35.560 fighting in the jungle's Iguano Canal or the Sandra Diwajila, this good versus evil fight.

01:20:41.980 And, you know, as I got older, I just really got interested into talking to these veterans.

01:20:47.940 So I started calling some of them up from the books I had read.

01:20:52.520 Okay, now hang on just a second.

01:20:53.680 Wait, wait, wait, Rishi.

01:20:54.680 You've got to tell the story right.

01:20:56.720 When you say, when I got older, how old were you when you got older?

01:21:03.160 13?

01:21:05.000 I think I was 13 or 14.

01:21:07.160 Okay, all right.

01:21:07.740 So you're the ripe old age of 13 years old, and you decide just to start calling the guys out of the blue that you've just read about.

01:21:18.220 Well, yeah.

01:21:18.840 I mean, a lot of the World War II books, you know, it's like memoirs.

01:21:22.000 And so all I would do is I would just look up the veteran's name on Google, and, you know, there would be an online phone book.

01:21:27.980 And I would just call them, and it was such an amazing feeling that I could actually talk to this real person who I'm reading about, and to hear his take on what happened and everything, it made me realize, oh, my God, these heroes are out there.

01:21:43.080 And so when I was in high school, I just started riding my bike to the local retirement homes to start interviewing the veterans in person, and I just fell in love with it.

01:21:53.380 And I eventually started a ditching class to go do interviews because I was learning more from the veterans than I was in school.

01:22:01.120 And by the time I graduated high school, the local paper had done stories about my mission, and I had people calling me and telling me about veterans they knew.

01:22:10.060 I realized that, you know, I should not go to college.

01:22:13.440 I'm learning more doing this, and I'm helping these heroes.

01:22:15.920 So I made it my mission to meet and interview two to three World War II combat veterans every single day until the last one passes away.

01:22:25.280 And to date, I've interviewed just over 870 World War II combat veterans.

01:22:31.300 Awesome.

01:22:31.680 So this is, you're inspiring, just truly inspiring.

01:22:35.760 So, Rishi, are you, you're recording these?

01:22:41.880 Yes, sir.

01:22:42.560 So all of the interviews, they're in-depth filmed interviews of the veterans.

01:22:46.660 What I do is I meet the veteran, we interview, we talk about growing up in the Great Depression, how they heard about Pearl Harbor.

01:22:52.660 But the majority of the interview is focused on their time in combat overseas.

01:22:56.940 And then we wrap it up, you know, with life advice they want to give to future generations and how they want to be remembered.

01:23:02.700 I put those interviews on a DVD.

01:23:04.660 I mail it to the veteran for them and their family.

01:23:06.760 A lot of the veterans are open with their experiences, and they'll let me share it online, like on YouTube, or I'll end up donating it to museums.

01:23:15.520 We're currently trying to make a TV series about these World War II veterans.

01:23:19.740 I just want people to realize that these heroes are still among us, and that we shouldn't wait until there's only five of them left to give them the media attention that they deserve.

01:23:29.820 Because what I like to say is if a Civil War veteran suddenly came up from the grave, all the world's media would be hounding him, begging for an interview on their knees just for five minutes of his time.

01:23:41.580 They'd be using the nicest cameras, the fanciest equipment, and we have this opportunity with the World War II veterans.

01:23:48.300 You know, everyone has a smartphone with a camera.

01:23:50.580 Instead of caring about what the Kardashians are wearing, we should be caring about recording the experiences of the brave men who fought for our freedom at 18, 19 years old.

01:24:01.340 You know, they were men before they were boys.

01:24:04.700 And I just, I mean, the youngest World War II combat veterans, 92 now.

01:24:09.340 So I don't know what people are waiting for.

01:24:12.180 We have these heroes among us.

01:24:14.060 But I just hope anyone listening to this realizes that you shouldn't wait, you know, next year or next month to go interview your grandpa or to go talk to your elderly neighbor.

01:24:24.800 The time is now.

01:24:26.420 You know, you can preserve their stories forever.

01:24:30.100 Rishi, you said you're going to continue to do this until the last one is gone.

01:24:36.260 Have you done the math?

01:24:37.420 Have you done the math on that?

01:24:38.640 What date do we start to be in danger that they're all gone?

01:24:44.760 Well, in all honesty, sir, I can't give you an accurate answer when it comes to math.

01:24:48.560 I can just tell you, in the United States, there's 520,000 World War II veterans still alive.

01:24:54.100 About 300 die every day.

01:24:57.100 And that was from an original number of 16 million of people who served in the war.

01:25:02.020 Now, not everyone was in combat, but, you know, they all served in one way or the other.

01:25:08.220 I expect to be interviewing World War II veterans at least for the next five to seven years.

01:25:13.060 So, Rishi, what is the, first of all, tell me, tell me individually the most compelling thing that you have heard from one of these guys and then what you've learned collectively from them.

01:25:26.140 Sure.

01:25:27.860 So, thank you for asking.

01:25:29.420 So, I focus on combat war for two veterans.

01:25:33.420 And some of the stories, you know, I've heard from these veterans, it's just, it makes you really wonder just how bad the world was at one time and just how fortunate we are to be alive today, even with all the problems we have going on today.

01:25:48.500 I interviewed one veteran in Ohio named James Kreps, whose twin brother and him, they served together and they were best of friends and they were, I call them the dynamic duo.

01:25:59.660 They each got the Silver Star, which is the third highest award for valor.

01:26:03.420 They were fighting the Germans and they took out four German tanks.

01:26:07.400 They were a bazooka team.

01:26:08.440 They took out four German tanks, three machine gun nests, and three mortar positions within half an hour.

01:26:16.740 And that was one day.

01:26:18.660 And then about a week later, they were running through a field and right next to one another.

01:26:22.900 And James Kreps, his brother, Jack, was shot right next to him.

01:26:28.740 And he was dying.

01:26:30.560 And they were very religious, so James was giving his brother the last rite.

01:26:35.540 And as he was performing his last rite, a sniper shot his brother in the neck again and killed him instantly.

01:26:42.760 I mean, to imagine, you know, not only to have your brother be killed in the war, but to be right with him when he was killed.

01:26:50.300 But, you know, I interviewed one veteran.

01:26:54.660 Most people in the U.S. aren't familiar with the Baton Death March.

01:26:58.620 But basically, we had a bunch of American soldiers in the Philippines during the time of the attack on Pearl Harbor.

01:27:04.080 And the Japanese were horrible. 1.00

01:27:06.120 They captured these Americans. 0.90

01:27:07.660 We fought for four months, but we had to surrender because they outnumbered us eight to one.

01:27:12.440 And they made 5,000 Americans and about 50,000 Filipino soldiers who worked with us at the time march 65 miles without stopping.

01:27:24.640 No food, no water.

01:27:26.700 And I interviewed one veteran.

01:27:28.940 He said that on the march, if they tried to help someone up, you know, who had fallen down, they would be bayoneted.

01:27:36.580 The Japanese guards would randomly just shoot people just for the fun of it.

01:27:39.820 He saw one of his closest friends get pushed in a shallow ditch, and the Japanese guards buried him alive.

01:27:47.060 I mean, they were inhumane, the way they treated these people.

01:27:51.080 And then, after marching to the prisoner of war camp, they were put on a hell ship, which is about like a little cargo ship.

01:27:58.680 And you can imagine 1,000 guys in the bottom of a hold.

01:28:02.240 Again, no food, no water.

01:28:03.920 They all had dysentery.

01:28:05.080 And guys were literally dying in the ship, on the hold, and the dead bodies would stay there because they were on their way to Japan.

01:28:13.420 People were licking the sides of the rusty ship for water because of the condensation.

01:28:18.540 And then they were sent to Japan, and he worked as a slave laborer in a Mitsui mine for the next three years.

01:28:25.800 Those are just some of the individual stories.

01:28:29.700 I've been very fortunate.

01:28:31.000 I interviewed a veteran up in Oregon.

01:28:33.560 He's a huge hero, still alive, and God willing, he will be for a long time.

01:28:37.460 He's named Robert Mastro.

01:28:38.940 He's the nation's oldest Medal of Honor assistant.

01:28:42.160 And this hero, is all I can say, is he jumped on a grenade knowingly to harm that it would cause him.

01:28:48.920 He jumped on a grenade to save four other men's lives, and he survived.

01:28:54.140 And these are just inspiring stories.

01:28:57.340 But overall, the biggest thing that these veterans have taught me is don't take your time on Earth for granted.

01:29:04.300 Make the most use of your time, because you never know when you may not live anymore.

01:29:10.140 We're so fortunate to be alive.

01:29:11.840 We need to make the best of what we have, and we need to make an effort to understand the immense sacrifices that the veterans made for us.

01:29:20.140 And I would just like to say, if anyone knows any World War II combat veterans, please reach out.

01:29:25.080 The organization's website is heroes, H-E-R-O-E-S, of the Second World War dot org.

01:31:16.820 Yeah, he was awesome.

01:31:18.800 I cannot believe.

01:31:20.420 I mean, I just feel so pathetic.

01:31:21.980 I had to bring it back to yourself, but it's like 16 years old, right?

01:31:25.160 His bike are 15 years old, right in his bike to nursing homes to do interviews with World War Two vets.

01:31:31.600 And now that he's 20, he's been on the road for two years and he's talked to 870 of them.

01:31:39.380 I mean, man, do I feel like a slug.

01:31:47.820 What an inspiring guy.

01:31:50.500 That is so cool.

01:31:51.400 And, you know, the other thing I loved about it is like, here's a here's here's a kid who grows up in California, California and really appreciates the country and what people have done to protect it.

01:32:05.220 I mean, that is not you could just tell talking to him that that's not a BS thing.

01:32:08.340 That's not a no, you know, this isn't just a project for him.

01:32:11.220 He loves it.

01:32:12.540 I mean, it's so great.

01:32:14.060 And he's so smart saying, why would I go to college?

01:32:16.840 I'm learning more on the road with these guys.

01:32:18.960 I like that.

01:32:19.360 You know, I love that.

01:32:20.900 I love that.

01:32:21.780 I mean, there's a reason to go to college.

01:32:23.600 Yeah.

01:32:23.860 I can't think you want to be a Marxist.

01:32:26.280 I mean, that's the place to go.

01:32:27.400 You want to engineer Marxism?

01:32:31.580 You're you're set.

01:32:33.580 But I mean, I love the fact that we live in a time where you can do that.

01:32:41.300 When I was growing up, when I was 20, you were still getting a license just to talk on the air on a on a radio station.

01:32:51.240 Here's a guy who doesn't need a film crew, doesn't need anything.

01:32:55.820 He just packs his stuff in his car.

01:32:57.920 He calls people up and says, hey, can I come visit you and talk to you?

01:33:01.860 He does it.

01:33:02.660 I mean, we live at a time where you can be the master of your own destiny.

01:33:07.880 You just have to have the the gumption or the willpower or just, you know, you need to be less of a slug than I am to just get out and do it.

01:33:21.820 A couple of people you might be aware of Glenn Beck and his wife, Tanya Beck, started realestateagentsitrust.com because they personally were frustrated trying to sell their home.

01:33:31.160 I remember being around Glenn in this period and he was tougher to deal with than even normal.

01:33:36.340 It was actually worse.

01:33:38.080 Most people have a bad experience because they hire a family member or some friend that's forced on them and they're too nice to say no.

01:33:44.400 And you think of this as like, well, they're just helping me sign some paperwork.

01:33:47.980 That is not what a real estate agent needs to do for you.

01:33:50.020 They can do a lot more.

01:33:51.340 A good agent makes a huge difference.

01:33:54.060 A home is the biggest investment we will make in our entire lives.

01:33:57.140 You need to have rock solid advice because if you screw up buying or selling a home, it can have financial impacts that last for many, many years.

01:34:04.380 If you need to sell a house fast and for the most money, or if you're looking to buy, go to realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:34:10.240 You're going to be introduced to the best agent in your town.

01:34:13.140 This is really important and let these agents earn your business.

01:34:17.140 Get moving with realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:34:19.840 It's realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:34:22.380 That's realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:34:30.020 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:34:32.600 All right.

01:34:34.080 So the Blaze has a good story up about Joy Reid.

01:34:40.380 Apparently there's another post that was written.

01:34:43.840 I think this one was written possibly by the cat that lives next door to her, hacked into her old blog site, and was on Ambien, and just started writing crazy stuff.

01:34:58.280 I've seen it before.

01:34:59.120 Yeah.

01:34:59.460 I've seen it many, many times.

01:35:02.760 Apparently they have discovered new posts on her blog site.

01:35:08.640 Oh, no.

01:35:09.080 This one, she was promoting the video entitled Loose Change, 9-11.

01:35:14.480 Do you remember that?

01:35:15.680 Yep.

01:35:16.500 Oh, yeah.

01:35:16.960 That's the, yeah, Alex Jones.

01:35:18.860 Yeah.

01:35:19.160 The 9-11 truther documentary.

01:35:21.960 He was one of the producers of that.

01:35:23.300 Yeah.

01:35:24.020 Wonderful movie.

01:35:24.780 So what's the problem with that?

01:35:26.860 Everybody at NBC.

01:35:28.080 It's been completely and totally discredited.

01:35:30.760 Everyone at NBC loves Alex Jones and all of his conspiracy theories.

01:35:35.960 Yeah, I'm glad this is happening for one particular reason, which is to remind everyone that Alex Jones is not a conservative.

01:35:44.640 They constantly call him far right.

01:35:46.920 Oh, my gosh.

01:35:47.460 The far right conspiracy theorist.

01:35:49.200 Why the hell was Joy Reid writing about him then?

01:35:52.260 Was Joy Reid also far right?

01:35:54.800 Remember when he was all about, what's her face, Cynthia McKinney?

01:35:58.300 Yeah.

01:35:58.940 Cynthia McKinney.

01:35:59.420 Who is, what, a socialist, at least?

01:36:01.340 And by the way, Cynthia McKinney, one of the very few people in public life who endorsed Roseanne Barr for her presidential run.

01:36:08.660 I forgot about that.

01:36:09.900 So here's what she wrote.

01:36:11.180 She said, the fundamental question is, do you believe the official story of 9-11?

01:36:16.740 If you do, Muslims did it? 1.00

01:36:19.300 Muslim extremists were?

01:36:20.880 That's ridiculous.

01:36:22.180 They never do anything.

01:36:23.540 Never.

01:36:23.600 She said, if you do, great.

01:36:25.580 If you don't, then everything that happened after that is called into serious question.

01:36:31.460 Serious.

01:36:31.880 Serious question.

01:36:32.880 Even if you're agnostic or you tend to believe that Al-Qaeda attacked the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and the government had no warning that such a thing could happen, it's worth taking a second look.

01:36:46.980 Yes.

01:36:47.140 No, it's really not.

01:36:48.120 No?

01:36:48.640 What?

01:36:49.440 I mean, people have taken a second look at it and a third look.

01:36:52.640 A thousandth look.

01:36:53.300 And they've realized it's all bogus.

01:36:55.380 Okay, you're right.

01:36:56.040 All of it.

01:36:56.400 On that one.

01:36:57.040 Okay, on that one.

01:36:58.080 But they've also found another post.

01:37:01.960 Okay?

01:37:02.860 This one, written by the dog that lives next door to the cat, but also on Ambien.

01:37:10.880 Oh, boy.

01:37:12.740 Another post seems to criticize illegal immigrants.

01:37:18.720 Uh-oh.

01:37:19.380 What?

01:37:19.940 What?

01:37:20.540 Yes.

01:37:20.820 In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, she wrote, who's rebuilding New Orleans?

01:37:29.280 Low-paid Mexican workers, legal and illegal, or the American citizens evacuated from the...

01:37:37.260 Is it them or the American citizens that were evacuated from there?

01:37:43.300 Hmm.

01:37:43.580 Oh, I...

01:37:44.280 Things change pretty quick.

01:37:46.220 Yeah, but don't worry about her.

01:37:48.020 No, she's fine.

01:37:48.460 You gotta get Roseanne Barr off the air. 1.00

01:37:51.760 Now, again, you pointed out, she did admit to writing some tweets that were called homophobic.

01:37:58.320 And then other...

01:37:59.820 It's not tweets, blog posts.

01:38:01.320 Then more blog posts came out that were almost identical in tone and message.

01:38:07.360 Yeah.

01:38:07.580 Those, she was hacked. 0.98

01:38:08.920 So, people hacked in many years ago to write posts that sounded just like her, which is a really weird hurdle to try to clear.

01:38:17.340 Because she's already writing those things, and she's admitted to it.

01:38:19.880 And then some outside source would break into her website and write the same stuff she was already writing.

01:38:26.020 Well, and then to find out that she's also got a dog on Ambien writing about illegal immigrants, and then a cat also on Ambien writing an endorsement of Alex Jones and his theory and movie.

01:38:43.100 Nothing to see here.

01:38:44.460 Mm-hmm.

01:38:44.940 Nothing to see here.

01:38:46.620 It's crazy.

01:38:47.740 And again, she has come out and said, I can't prove that...

01:38:50.720 I've tried to prove through forensics that I was hacked.

01:38:53.780 I'm sorry, I can't prove it.

01:38:55.200 Yeah, you can't prove it, because she wrote it.

01:38:57.080 Right, because obviously she wrote it.

01:38:58.480 Right, or someone on her staff wrote it, at the very least.

01:39:00.640 And she's now trying to deny it.

01:39:02.000 I don't think she had a staff then.

01:39:03.340 Yeah, I don't think so really either.

01:39:04.440 I mean, it seemed like she...

01:39:05.200 They're all written in the same...

01:39:06.080 She wrote it.

01:39:07.180 And not to be demeaning to AM Joy, but they're all written in a very poor way.

01:39:15.340 It's not just bad points.

01:39:16.640 They're terribly written.

01:39:18.720 And they're all in the same style with the weird sort of punctuation and stops and sentences that are...

01:39:24.460 They don't really make full, you know, a lot of sense.

01:39:27.020 Yeah.

01:39:27.960 So, I mean, it's hard to believe.

01:39:29.640 And again, it doesn't seem like NBC cares.

01:39:31.500 No, they don't.

01:39:32.180 Well, they don't.

01:39:32.640 Because I honestly, I think you could totally excuse this.

01:39:35.260 Remember, half, half of Democrats in polls believed 9-11 conspiracy theories at this time.

01:39:42.600 Half of them.

01:39:43.160 So, the fact that she was promoting 9-11 conspiracy theories is not weird at all.

01:39:48.680 It was half of Democrats.

01:39:51.520 The problem here is that she continues to lie about it. 1.00

01:39:55.520 Why do you assume that she's on the left?

01:39:57.300 Good question, Glenn.

01:39:57.800 Good question.

01:39:58.460 What makes you think she's on the left?

01:40:01.200 She was echoing a far-right conspiracy theorist.

01:40:03.720 Alex Jones.

01:40:04.620 Exactly right.

01:40:05.060 Maybe she was a conservative. 0.99

01:40:06.480 Yeah.

01:40:06.760 As soon as she gets fired, she will turn into one. 1.00

01:40:08.540 I'll tell you that.

01:40:08.940 What about her homophobia?

01:40:09.700 There's no homophobes on the left.

01:40:11.220 That's right.

01:40:11.860 She sounds like a right-wing activist. 1.00

01:40:13.560 You can't be.

01:40:14.540 Can't be.

01:40:15.020 Can't be a homophobe and be on the left.

01:40:16.880 You can't.

01:40:17.340 It's not the blog post.

01:40:18.220 It's her lying about it, right?

01:40:19.240 I mean, she's constantly lying.

01:40:21.060 It is kind of interesting.

01:40:21.900 One of the blog posts that people were going crazy over was her saying that she preferred

01:40:30.340 to see or not to see men kissing men or women kissing women or something to that effect.

01:40:36.440 Yeah.

01:40:36.860 And, you know, is that homophobic or is that just your preference?

01:40:41.060 There used to be a sexual preference.

01:40:42.200 There used to be a sexual preference.

01:40:43.660 Right.

01:40:44.240 You prefer to see something else.

01:40:45.800 And I know gay people who are like, I look at me.

01:40:49.220 Oh, they're skeped out by heteros?

01:40:50.900 Skeped out by heteros.

01:40:52.680 Okay, I get it.

01:40:54.100 I get it.

01:40:55.180 It doesn't affect me or what.

01:40:57.100 I'm not like, oh, you are heterophobic.

01:40:59.440 I don't care.

01:41:01.700 And like if you were a gay person and you thought it was super duper sexy to watch heterosexual

01:41:06.760 people have sex, you'd probably just be heterosexual. 0.53

01:41:09.460 Right.

01:41:09.640 And the same thing I would think it would apply to straight people who are if you were super

01:41:13.000 you thought it was super hot to see two men have sex, you'd probably just have sex with 1.00

01:41:17.620 men.

01:41:18.080 Yeah.

01:41:18.200 Right.

01:41:18.360 Like there's no laws against it.

01:41:19.920 You can do it.

01:41:20.380 If you if you think it's awesome, you just do it.

01:41:22.100 But so I don't know why that's what a sexual preference was.

01:41:26.800 It was supposed to be at one time.

01:41:28.820 It was okay to it doesn't seem like sexual preference.

01:41:31.100 Honestly, does sexual preference exist anymore?

01:41:33.480 Because it used to be that's my sexual preference, but one has been declared superior to all others.

01:41:39.520 But I mean, you can't have a preference anymore.

01:41:41.700 What is just better?

01:41:43.320 I don't know.

01:41:44.300 Maybe that's I don't know.

01:41:45.120 I mean, it's just better.

01:41:46.360 It's built into you now, though.

01:41:47.500 It's not a preference because a preference.

01:41:49.020 No, it's not.

01:41:50.120 No, it's not.

01:41:50.760 It's you're born that way.

01:41:52.220 So it's not a question.

01:41:53.340 Questioning.

01:41:54.900 Questioning.

01:41:55.460 Oh, yeah.

01:41:56.160 I'm I'm I thought he was queer or and questioning queer and question. 0.94

01:42:00.940 Well, have you seen the what is her name?

01:42:02.920 Tig Notaro or something?

01:42:05.540 Oh, my God.

01:42:06.040 Of course I have.

01:42:06.920 She's got a comedy special.

01:42:08.380 Really?

01:42:08.940 She's pretty funny on Netflix.

01:42:11.440 OK.

01:42:11.760 Is she bouncy, bouncy fun? 0.56

01:42:14.400 No.

01:42:15.120 OK.

01:42:16.220 I only know one other Tig.

01:42:19.460 OK.

01:42:19.900 You're talking Tigger.

01:42:20.920 Yes.

01:42:22.060 This particular Tig is is lesbian and is her living and her her wife believed her whole 1.00

01:42:30.420 life that she was hetero until she met Tig and that was her first homosexual encounter. 0.71

01:42:38.600 And now she's gay. 0.99

01:42:41.180 So was she born that way and just made a mistake for the first twenty nine years of her life?

01:42:46.640 I don't know.

01:42:47.840 I don't know.

01:42:48.620 But that's an interesting question.

01:42:50.040 Yeah.

01:42:50.660 She just messed up for twenty nine years. 0.96

01:42:52.900 I don't know.

01:42:54.080 It's kind of weird because it wasn't one of the situations where she tell that story that,

01:42:57.520 you know, she thought she was hetero. 1.00

01:42:59.900 So it wasn't one of those stories where and we've heard this many times, where someone

01:43:03.180 who grew up and always had these feelings towards, let's say, other women.

01:43:07.140 And then somebody tried to pray the gay out of them. 0.78

01:43:10.560 They prayed the gay out and they were heterosexual for a while. 0.89

01:43:14.100 And then they finally found their true calling.

01:43:16.300 Right.

01:43:16.400 That's the normal story.

01:43:17.540 This is one where she actually didn't find her.

01:43:19.460 She would believe she was heterosexual.

01:43:21.380 And then just.

01:43:22.140 And then just fell in love with a woman.

01:43:26.560 So she just messed up for the first twenty eight, twenty nine.

01:43:29.040 People make mistakes.

01:43:29.940 Yeah, they do.

01:43:30.440 You know, and she made a lot of them, apparently. 0.99

01:43:32.140 Apparently a lot of mistakes.

01:43:33.280 What are the odds that you've made a mistake?

01:43:36.320 That I'm actually gay?

01:43:37.740 Yeah.

01:43:38.220 And I've just been married to a woman.

01:43:39.720 You haven't watched.

01:43:40.700 You haven't watched a good gay man on man film.

01:43:48.800 And I haven't.

01:43:49.860 You haven't.

01:43:50.640 Weirdly enough.

01:43:51.300 Yeah.

01:43:51.740 So you don't really know.

01:43:53.640 He's admitted your narrative.

01:43:55.100 I mean, he's just admitted your narrative.

01:43:57.300 You might be on to somehow.

01:43:59.620 Yeah.

01:43:59.980 I'm going to explore that.

01:44:00.860 Yeah.

01:44:01.240 I'm going to explore that.

01:44:02.120 I may have screwed up for fifty five years.

01:44:04.460 You and Joy Reid might have a lot in common.

01:44:07.640 You're strangely skeeved out by that.

01:44:10.120 What we're saying is on today's Pat Gray Unleashed on the Blaze Radio TV networks, there

01:44:13.640 could be a closet door opening a little bit.

01:44:15.720 Just a crack.

01:44:16.720 Just a crack.

01:44:17.880 Yeah.

01:44:18.480 Yeah.

01:44:19.160 Yeah.

01:44:19.940 Just saying.

01:44:20.700 I'm pretty excited.

01:44:21.520 This is going to be a good show.

01:44:22.900 Yeah.

01:44:23.320 Thanks.

01:44:23.840 You never.

01:44:24.700 Thanks for woking me.

01:44:27.380 Yeah.

01:44:27.660 What is the main thing that you think is important other than your homosexuality? 0.92

01:44:34.220 Does anything else matter?

01:44:36.120 I'm going to talk about the teen activists wanting to lower the voting age to 16.

01:44:39.900 Oh, my.

01:44:40.700 So not only are our friendly friends from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High trying to get the Second

01:44:46.680 Amendment repealed, but also you want to lower the voting age to 16.

01:44:51.240 Why don't we do it?

01:44:52.320 Terrific idea.

01:44:53.180 Why don't we do it at like eight?

01:44:57.340 Yeah.

01:44:57.980 You know what I mean?

01:44:58.660 That way the teachers can just, they can, we already have voting booths in schools. 0.84

01:45:04.660 Yes.

01:45:04.820 That's right.

01:45:05.620 Yes.

01:45:05.940 The teachers can teach them about the system and, you know, who should, you know, who they

01:45:13.120 might want to consider voting for.

01:45:15.640 Right.

01:45:16.000 And then just line up.

01:45:17.780 Send them in.

01:45:18.340 That is great.

01:45:19.720 Thank you.

01:45:20.160 We're going to hear that on the Pat Gray extravaganza coming up in just a few minutes, only on the

01:45:25.860 Blaze radio and TV network.

01:45:29.100 All right.

01:45:31.700 Let me ask you this, Stu.

01:45:33.380 Was there a spike in Bitcoin this week?

01:45:37.160 I mean, you know, I don't know that I would call it a spike because it would be following

01:45:42.740 a rough couple of weeks.

01:45:46.220 So it did go up from its lows.

01:45:48.540 However, what's it at?

01:45:52.080 I'm surprised.

01:45:53.320 I'm surprised because this week the world had a massive shock, massive shock.

01:45:59.360 It's about 7,600.

01:46:01.100 However, it had fallen to about 7,000.

01:46:02.800 So it is up about 10%, almost 10% this week.

01:46:05.900 It's 10%.

01:46:07.420 The only 10%.

01:46:08.720 I know what I'm saying.

01:46:09.360 It's crazy.

01:46:10.240 Yeah, it's crazy.

01:46:12.360 Listen, you need to think out of the box and be able to.

01:46:18.540 Get your arms around the world that is coming our way.

01:46:24.200 You know, you will not recognize the world in 2030.

01:46:29.880 You just won't.

01:46:31.780 Tika Tiwari, he is from the Palm Beach letter.

01:46:35.600 He is probably one of the biggest experts on investing in crypto.

01:46:41.240 And he was in the office, I don't know, sometime, I think, before Christmas.

01:46:46.180 And we were talking to him about, you know, crypto, cryptocurrency.

01:46:50.660 And what did he think?

01:46:51.640 And he was talking about stuff.

01:46:53.380 And he was running circles around us.

01:46:55.040 We were like, I don't even know what that is.

01:46:56.640 And so we asked him if he could put together a course on what cryptos are, how they work, which ones he would recommend.

01:47:06.660 How do you buy them?

01:47:08.160 How do you sell them?

01:47:09.720 What is the world of cryptocurrency?

01:47:13.520 What does it really look like?

01:47:16.120 And why is it important?

01:47:18.180 So he set this course up because he was so great just explaining it to us that he put this exclusive Glebeck course up right now.

01:47:25.160 It's smartcryptocourse.com.

01:47:27.580 Go there now.

01:47:29.960 Smartcryptocourse.com.

01:47:31.220 Or you can call 877-PBL-BECK. 0.79

01:47:34.320 That's 877-PBL-BECK. 0.99

01:47:38.300 Smartcryptocourse.com.

01:47:41.380 Hey, Hands on History is being released today.

01:47:45.260 All you have to do is go to the Blaze Facebook page or also, I think it's YouTube, the Blaze YouTube channel.

01:47:56.280 Hands on History.

01:47:57.160 It is premiering, and there are shorts that we take the actual artifacts from history and connect history to today.

01:48:09.460 And so there's no memorization of facts and dates and wars and all of that.

01:48:13.740 It's just, what does this mean to us today?

01:48:17.120 Yeah, it's really good.

01:48:17.940 I hadn't seen it until.

01:48:19.160 Oh, you hadn't seen it?

01:48:19.860 I'd seen, you know, little bits and pieces as it was being put together, but I hadn't seen the final thing.

01:48:23.320 It came out great.

01:48:23.840 Yeah, it's really, it's very, very different and something that I think the whole family can enjoy.

01:48:29.520 Hands on History, it is at youtube.com slash theblaze.

01:48:35.080 It will be first episode, I think, or the trailer, I'm not sure which is coming out today.

01:48:39.140 I think it's first episode, is premiering today.

01:48:43.460 Which brings us to the museum.

01:48:47.700 Yesterday I was out, Dave Rubin came in, and he walks into the office, and he said,

01:48:55.280 I have heard so much about the collection of history that you have here.

01:49:02.440 And he said, and just to walk into your office, and we were preparing for the museum, so we have all kinds of items that are coming in and that we're taking a look at and trying to narrow things down.

01:49:17.640 And in my office yesterday was the cup of the carpenter from the last scene of Indiana Jones and the Holy Grail.

01:49:25.640 The ruby slippers, Darth Vader's mask from A New Hope, the Thomas Paine letter to Franklin saying, I'm not an atheist.

01:49:43.960 You guys have misread this.

01:49:46.120 All of these things.

01:49:47.100 And he was like, I said, oh, I got to take you upstairs.

01:49:49.920 I got to show you what's in the vault and everything else.

01:49:52.100 I mean, it's incredible, the stuff that you're going to be able to see.

01:49:58.440 And I don't think, I think the Darth Vader mask and the Thomas Paine letter, I think, are going to be on display.

01:50:06.500 And the rights and responsibilities kind of are a sneak preview and a temporary exhibition of maybe a fifth of what we have in items.

01:50:18.540 And, Don, if you've ever been to any of our museums, they're always great.

01:50:23.800 This one I think you're really going to enjoy.

01:50:25.980 We've kind of upped our game on this.

01:50:28.120 And you can grab your tickets.

01:50:29.540 It's happening June 15th through the 17th.

01:50:32.960 And this one is to really show you what our rights are here for, what our responsibilities are to keep them,

01:50:40.500 and why they're uniquely American and why this has changed the world.

01:50:46.160 You want to come.

01:50:47.140 And it's great for Father's Day.

01:50:48.620 It's Father's Day weekend.

01:50:50.560 Mercury1.org slash museum2018.

01:50:54.600 We'll all be there all throughout the weekend.

01:50:56.220 And we would love to see you.

01:50:57.960 You can get general admission tickets or you can, you know, just buy into one of the special tours that one of us will be giving.

01:51:05.240 And it's, again, at mercury1.org slash museum2018, perfect for Father's Day weekend.

01:51:13.040 We'll see you there.
