The Blaze Radio Network, on demand, Glenn Beck.
00:00:09.680
Things in your state are going to get even better.
00:00:11.480
You now have to have women on the board of directors for your company.
00:00:20.940
Government's going to tell you that's not enough now in California.
00:00:32.420
Governor Jerry Brown just signed into law, more or less, the same Obama-era law that regulated the Internet on a federal level.
00:00:40.520
So now, by the way, California, do you know why it costs you so much money to pump gas into your car?
00:00:47.320
In California, you can go right across state lines.
00:00:51.780
When you travel elsewhere, it's not because we have gas ferries.
00:00:55.080
It's because the government doesn't tell us that we need super special blends that only exist in California.
00:01:06.440
I'm sure this will be completely different when you just regulate the Internet differently.
00:01:10.840
Before we get into the dumpster fire that is this, let's take a look at the state of California.
00:01:19.120
The People's Republic of Californiastan, I'm just saying, I think they hate having business done within their borders.
00:01:34.660
It is literally you against the state and you, the American business owner, caught behind the Iron Curtain of California.
00:01:46.480
California, they have they have now responded with unprecedented rulings.
00:01:55.240
Companies are hightailing it out of California like never before.
00:02:02.720
That was the last straw, I think, for many businesses.
00:02:10.280
You can't believe how crowded and the traffic here is even worse than California.
00:02:28.360
You were just hit with six billion dollars in new taxes.
00:02:34.040
That kicked off the mass corporate excess out of the Sunshine State and here to Texas.
00:02:40.280
The companies included Carl's Jr., Toyota, Jacobs Engineering, Occidental Petroleum, Chevron, Kubota Tractors, Nestle.
00:02:52.260
Any more you can think of because they're coming in by the day here?
00:02:56.740
Since 2008, some analysts have calculated that up to 10,000 companies have left California.
00:03:06.580
I mean, when I was growing up, I always wanted to live in California.
00:03:27.360
California was the place that people went for opportunity.
00:03:31.120
People would pack up their entire family and they would brave the hostile Indian country to reach California in search of prosperity.
00:03:47.360
People are packing their bags and heading to the center of the country.
00:04:01.800
It threatens California's biggest asset, Silicon Valley.
00:04:05.380
What are you going to do, California, when big tech and Internet companies surrounding the Bay Area pack their bags?
00:04:12.200
They've already spent the past year lobbying heavily against this new state net neutrality law because no matter how hard the left tries to sell net neutrality as a law that protects consumers, what it really does is open the gateway to full government regulation of the Internet.
00:04:30.180
Are you a dreamer, creating a new Google or Apple inside your garage?
00:04:39.180
Well, in California, you're not going to have that opportunity.
00:04:45.640
Microsoft says Bill Gates couldn't do what he did.
00:04:50.000
Now with the laws that are on the books, you will never have the freedom that Larry Page or Sergey Brin enjoyed.
00:05:00.180
The mighty state of California will put its boot on your throat and choke the innovation right out of you.
00:05:11.240
As they have their boot on your throat, they'll talk to you about how fair it is.
00:05:16.980
The call for freedom and prosperity is no longer go west, young man.
00:05:21.940
You can't certainly say go east because if you go too far, you run into the same damn craziness.
00:05:29.180
It's just on another coast with a bunch of snow.
00:05:34.120
There's just a few bastions of freedom left in the country.
00:05:36.920
We're all huddled and squeezed directly in the middle.
00:05:48.580
Well, I would like to say they're waiting for you, but I don't know if they are really waiting for you.
00:05:53.340
I don't know if you'll be welcome in those communities over either.
00:05:57.740
Of course, you'll just move all of your people into the center of the country, and then you'll destroy the center of the country like you have the coasts.
00:06:10.400
You just took one more step at turning the once great state of California into the formerly great city of Detroit.
00:06:43.380
Have you seen the copy of Rachel Mitchell's memo?
00:06:53.780
Now, remember, Rachel Mitchell is the Maricopa County sex crimes prosecutor.
00:06:58.440
She is the one who interviewed Kavanaugh's accuser, Christina Ford.
00:07:04.420
She was the woman that was made fun of on Saturday Night Live this weekend.
00:07:10.160
She, well, she was a highly respected advocate for sexual abuse victims.
00:07:19.680
In fact, she was recognized by Barack Obama's head of Homeland Security as the sexual assault prosecutor of the year.
00:07:29.060
The woman that the woman that the Republicans selected to dig in and find out whether or not Dr. Ford's claims were legitimate or not was Barack Obama's head of Homeland Security sexual assault prosecutor of the year.
00:07:51.340
So she's not a Democratic hack and also not a defense attorney, right?
00:08:01.940
Her expertise is on old crimes to be able to go in and say, all right, how did this happen?
00:08:09.580
And be able to put it together to make sure that the prosecution can win.
00:08:17.000
Before I continue and tell you what's in her memo, let me just preface it with this.
00:08:22.940
You're not going to see any CNN is not going to be leading with this.
00:08:26.580
New York Times is not going to have this on the front page, but it should.
00:08:30.600
The reason why they won't is because it is devastating for Senate Democrats, left wing activists, the media.
00:08:41.280
I want you to know if you're easily triggered, you might want to turn off the radio for just a minute.
00:08:54.160
A he said, she said case is incredibly difficult to prove, but this case is even weaker than that.
00:09:04.860
So I've been saying he said, she said that that's pretty difficult.
00:09:19.200
Dr. Ford identified other witnesses to the event.
00:09:22.580
And those witnesses, I'm still quoting, have either refuted her allegations or failed to corroborate them.
00:09:30.440
She then adds, I do not think that a reasonable prosecutor would bring this case based on the evidence before the committee.
00:09:38.900
I don't think a reasonable prosecutor would bring this case, not to the court, not for prosecution, but before the committee, nor do I believe that this evidence is sufficient to satisfy the preponderance of evidence standard.
00:10:02.080
Again, like she's being portrayed as this Republican hack to go after this poor woman because she was a girl.
00:10:11.440
Barack Obama's Homeland Security Prosecutor Sex Crimes of the Year.
00:10:15.900
They picked someone who should have incredible amounts of credibility, even with the left.
00:10:20.900
So she's saying that it won't stand up in court.
00:10:27.960
And no prosecutor should even bring this to the committee.
00:10:30.620
This explains, in my opinion, why it was leaked in the final hour, because everyone who saw this knew exactly what it was.
00:10:47.060
She says, Ford has significantly changed her story several times in recent months in ways that are shady, have not been explained, and defy common sense.
00:11:06.260
It may look like she's credible, but based on what she said, not how she looked.
00:11:14.940
If you're looking at what she said, her story falls apart.
00:11:19.240
The most glaring issue with Dr. Ford's story is that she is given four different dates for when the attack occurred.
00:11:26.000
And we're not talking about the difference of a few days.
00:11:32.540
According to the Washington Post, the 2013 notes from her therapy session lists the attacks of having occurred when she was in her late teens.
00:11:42.480
Fast forward five years, July 6th of this year.
00:11:45.860
In a text message to the Washington Post reporter, Ford said the attack happened in the mid-1980s.
00:11:53.380
This would be consistent with her therapist's notes, since Ford was born in late November 66, and would have been in her late teens from 1984 through 1986.
00:12:06.840
Three weeks later, in a July 30th letter to Senator Dianne Feinstein's office, the date of attack changed to the early 80s.
00:12:17.280
Now, you might say, what difference does it make?
00:12:20.640
Well, if you say you're in your late teens, 16, 17, 18, 19, you're in high school, so you're 17 or 18.
00:12:33.220
Anytime you've ever talked about this, before it became political, mid-80s, late teens.
00:12:42.920
And how did it change within a span of three weeks?
00:12:53.980
This is, again, I'm quoting, I'm quoting the report.
00:13:00.540
One week later, when she goes to take a polygraph test with her lawyers, she was asked to write down a statement describing the events.
00:13:07.880
In that statement, Ford wrote, the alleged attack happened in the early 1980s.
00:13:17.360
If you look at her written testimony for the lie detector test, she scratches out the early 1980s and leaves it the 1980s.
00:13:32.420
Perhaps because she knew early 1980s was false.
00:13:36.500
And it was fresh in her mind and might set off the polygraph.
00:13:42.620
Then finally, by mid-September, on her first on-the-record interview with the Washington Post, Ford narrowed the date of the attack down to the summer of 1982.
00:13:54.360
Dr. Ford provided four different dates over the span of a couple of weeks for what was supposedly one of the most traumatic and important events of her life.
00:14:07.920
Well, because if the attack happened when she was in her late teens or in the mid-80s, as she first told the Washington Post and her therapist, Brett Kavanaugh would have been 300 miles away at Yale University as a full-time student.
00:14:23.480
So it couldn't have happened in the mid-1980s or in her late teens.
00:14:32.220
But this is a bombshell that no one will discuss.
00:14:38.180
It not only discredits Ford's allegation against Brett Kavanaugh, it obliterates it.
00:14:47.340
Now, maybe the FBI finds some new groundbreaking evidence.
00:14:52.780
But this allegation should be considered debunked.
00:15:05.700
Have you noticed now they're talking not about Ford?
00:15:09.220
Now they're talking about, was he lying about teenage fart jokes?
00:15:15.920
Was he lying about fart jokes and drinking games?
00:15:29.580
Now they're going to make him look like a liar.
00:15:39.220
Senate Democrats, the American people see what this is.
00:15:49.340
It's an attempted coup of the United States and the Supreme Court under the guise of the hashtag Me Too movement.
00:16:03.120
And if you don't, I think the American people will speak and stand in November.
00:16:10.720
All right, let me tell you about our sponsor this hour.
00:16:33.100
All great options that can help you save an incredible amount of money over the life of your loan.
00:16:37.520
You might even be able to save about $1,000 a month.
00:16:40.720
So why wait for interest rates to increase more?
00:16:45.040
If you are in an adjustable mortgage, get out of the adjustable mortgage.
00:16:50.200
If we have time today, I've got to tell you some stuff I found on the economy this weekend that is disturbing.
00:16:58.020
NAFTA has been redone, signed yesterday by Canada.
00:17:02.140
So Canada, Mexico, United States have redrafted NAFTA under Donald Trump's tutelage.
00:17:12.380
We should know more about it in the next few days.
00:17:14.920
But there are some other things that are very concerning in the economy.
00:17:21.180
And their salary-based mortgage consultants can help you get into the right loan for you.
00:17:29.660
They have access to every loan in the industry.
00:17:46.040
American Financing Corporation, NMLS 182334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.
00:17:56.860
We welcome back Mr. Stu from the south of France.
00:18:05.000
This is amazing to watch kind of from a different perspective.
00:18:11.280
They're just going about their lives, which is kind of how I want to be.
00:18:15.540
But it was interesting watching it in that I've never seen anything like this.
00:18:20.440
This is the people who are speaking with certainty about this.
00:18:25.740
She has provided no evidence whatsoever that this event has occurred.
00:18:31.420
The standard, instead of being innocent until proven guilty or innocent to the preponderance
00:18:35.800
of evidence shows otherwise, has become innocent until proven accused.
00:18:41.800
We now know that she's accused this Kavanaugh, so therefore he's guilty.
00:18:48.420
And how any woman or leftist who has a son could possibly support this standard.
00:18:57.460
Because this is not just evil Republican judges that have to deal with this for the rest of
00:19:04.600
If they go to a party in college, 30, 40 years later, when they're advancing through their
00:19:10.060
career, can be accused of this with absolutely no evidence.
00:19:14.800
And society is deciding, yes, we should just believe her.
00:19:18.420
There's not even, there's not even a 5% chance that she's shown.
00:19:23.040
Like it's not, we are at the point now where what we're requiring in this FBI investigation,
00:19:27.460
whatever it is, is can you come up with a 5% hint that you think maybe it occurred?
00:19:34.500
And even one that your parents, your parents and your siblings won't stand behind.
00:19:40.800
Her parents, her mom, her dad, and her siblings will not stand by her statement.
00:19:48.160
She's named people and they don't remember the party.
00:19:52.540
This is beyond a reasonable doubt that this should happen.
00:19:55.460
I've thought about this a lot over the weekend and I think I know what's happening and it's
00:20:08.220
Our Addicted Outrage Tour begins, when is it, August 25th or something?
00:20:19.140
We're going to wait about 10 months and then start a tour.
00:20:26.360
October 25th, 26th and 27th from Texas, November 1st in Virginia, November 2nd in Pennsylvania
00:20:35.180
Then we got Cleveland on the 4th, Kansas City, Evansville, Tulsa, Tampa, and December in Orlando.
00:20:41.360
Do you notice that those groups of dates, they all center around the midterm election?
00:20:48.060
We are going to have a lot to discuss on tour and it'll be a great place to hang out and
00:20:57.460
Grab your tickets now for the Addicted Outrage Tour.
00:21:02.140
You can find them online at glennbeck.com slash tour, glennbeck.com slash tour.
00:21:08.300
All right, we're talking about the Kavanaugh thing.
00:21:11.980
And I want to talk to those people who I think are reasonable, who can look at Ford and see
00:21:22.660
her testimony and say, okay, so why wouldn't we just do the FBI thing?
00:21:30.000
Okay, in a reasonable world, you're absolutely right.
00:21:36.120
But this is not about Ford and this is not about making sure that these charges stick.
00:21:43.600
It's why as soon as this happened, as soon as Jeff Flake said, no, no, wait a minute.
00:21:54.780
As soon as that happened, the narrative changed.
00:21:57.800
Now they're going after and saying he lied about drinking beer.
00:22:07.860
So this is just about how and the accusation is that he wasn't blackout drunk.
00:22:15.440
So we'll get into that later because I've as an alcoholic, I got a lot to say on that one.
00:22:21.800
But they've changed the narrative and they are playing the American people.
00:22:30.520
What they've done is they've turned this into something that is more than Kavanaugh.
00:22:37.720
Look, if Kavanaugh is a guy who did this, I don't want him on the Supreme Court.
00:22:49.660
So because of the lack of evidence, what they've done is they've not made this about Kavanaugh.
00:23:08.620
I told it because I recognized in Dr. Ford's story that she's telling the truth.
00:23:13.560
What you are doing is allowing someone who actually violated a woman to sit in the Supreme Court.
00:23:24.280
This woman has obviously a horrible experience in her life.
00:23:29.420
So when she hears an accuser, she immediately believes the accuser.
00:23:38.660
She's obviously very, very upset because of what happened to her.
00:23:43.620
And she wants to send a message that that's not right.
00:23:49.920
But that's not the standard of justice or the way we get justice.
00:23:56.500
I didn't understand America when OJ was let go.
00:24:04.140
How can the African-American community be cheering this guy?
00:24:11.160
Once you're away from it emotionally and you actually look into it, it's easy.
00:24:15.300
What was happening was African-Americans were feeling that there was no justice in America.
00:24:24.300
And then he goes to court and the white system puts him behind bars.
00:24:35.540
They wanted anyone to prove that a black guy couldn't could go to court and not be guilty.
00:25:00.820
Now that the emotions are gone, we're all in agreement that OJ Simpson was guilty.
00:25:27.740
Social justice is evil when it is when it is played the way the postmodernist and the progressives are playing it now.
00:25:43.300
That woman who was in the elevator, her plight, I'm sure, was real.
00:25:56.120
I don't even know if it happened here in America or where it happened.
00:26:04.040
We cannot help as a society if you don't ask for help.
00:26:12.700
If you don't ask anyone in your circle of friends for help.
00:26:17.740
We can't help you later, especially 35 years later.
00:26:23.640
Now, I'm I'm shocked that someone could be as traumatized as Dr.
00:26:28.660
Ford was and no one in her circle of friends in high school.
00:26:40.540
I'm trying to figure out when Kavanaugh is at Yale and they're both still in school.
00:26:50.060
Are you telling me that there is no one in her life?
00:26:55.520
Her mother, her sister, her best friend that wasn't told.
00:27:01.300
But now when told doesn't go, oh, my gosh, I remember.
00:27:06.800
And all of a sudden you didn't want to go to any parties anymore.
00:27:09.220
Would you go to a party if you experienced what she experienced?
00:27:17.440
Would you change fundamentally at parties enough for your best friend to at least now be able to go?
00:27:27.760
I remember that you were really weird that summer.
00:27:38.680
She doesn't remember the year that it happened.
00:27:41.080
And as the investigator has pointed out, she's changed this now four or five times.
00:27:58.560
We, I want to make sure that nobody goes to jail that is innocent.
00:28:20.780
And at the same time, you will not look at facts.
00:28:28.080
You only want to go with what is politically correct and deliver social justice.
00:28:33.980
You say you're against putting innocent people behind bars and that our justice system is so corrupt that it is put black men behind bars because of white society.
00:28:53.800
And if you were honest about the way you actually feel, think of the construct that is built by the left.
00:29:00.200
All police are really bad people that are going to throw innocent black people in jail.
00:29:09.220
How would, let's say, real racist cops and racist women deal with an African-American who they say has assaulted them in the past?
00:29:21.780
Black people have been victims of this in the past where they were unfairly accused of crimes.
00:29:30.360
There's a lot of these things that have happened over the years.
00:29:36.360
How are you going to react when a black man is accused unfairly about some assault they didn't commit?
00:29:45.340
I, I, this standard they are creating is insane and I feel for the woman in the elevator.
00:29:54.320
But the one thing I do know about her story is Brett Kavanaugh wasn't responsible for it.
00:30:05.660
Now, the argument on the other side is we're only asking for five more days.
00:30:12.900
Well, if everyone was quiet for five days, that would be something.
00:30:26.500
They're using these seven days to come up with something new to move the goalposts.
00:30:40.740
And now they're saying, well, yes, you gave us the FBI investigation, but it's not thorough enough.
00:30:46.140
The only thing here is their delay tactics and that how you can tell this.
00:30:55.420
If Brett Kavanaugh, let's just say politics fail him and Flake and Collins and Murkowski bail and the vote comes down.
00:31:03.540
There won't be a soul who gives a crap about this woman's story.
00:31:11.360
She will not get a phone call returned because you can still investigate this, by the way.
00:31:16.520
There is no there is no statute of limitations on felony sexual assault in Maryland.
00:31:25.020
They will forget about her and she will be a non story because they don't care about her story.
00:31:30.540
They're just trying to delay this to try to get it past the election.
00:31:33.560
Now, here's the here's the the second point I want to make Republicans.
00:31:39.660
If this falls through and the very next day you don't have a qualified candidate that you're going to put through.
00:31:55.820
May I suggest right now that if Kavanaugh falls through, you don't have the spine, something comes up, whatever.
00:32:07.120
There is one guy that is already gone through all of the confirmation hearings.
00:32:12.260
One guy who is already had every FBI background check.
00:32:22.280
If Kavanaugh goes down in flames Monday morning or Saturday, the president should announce his next Supreme Court justice pick of Mike Lee.
00:32:34.100
And you should vote on it next week because there's no need to delay.
00:32:39.140
He's already had all those FBI background checks and each senator knows exactly who he is.
00:32:52.700
You could get that done long before the election.
00:32:58.480
If I hear the Republicans, if this falls through, we are not prepared.
00:33:03.420
We weren't prepared for the I'm going to lose my mind.
00:33:11.200
So that I won't bring up this story about what their plan is after.
00:33:23.260
We need to go through that today because you're right.
00:33:36.780
My Patriot supply from hurricanes, earthquakes, cyber warfare.
00:33:40.220
Every American should have a plan to get through an emergency, a natural disaster.
00:33:48.580
We have seen government response and repair to infrastructure can be a little slow.
00:33:52.680
Now, people want to say that it was racist about Puerto Rico.
00:33:57.480
I will tell you the overwhelming factor on why Puerto Rico was left in the condition it was is because FEMA had no money left.
00:34:06.780
There were no plans in the history of the United States to handle four major disasters in a year.
00:34:13.920
And that the year that that happened, there were four major disasters.
00:34:18.300
FEMA came out at the end of the year and said, you're on your own if another disaster happens in 18 because we don't have the money to do it.
00:34:28.740
My Patriot Supply is the place you go to help yourself, help your family.
00:34:37.480

00:35:09.860
So we have Larry Sharp on about a half hour from now.
00:35:24.160
Well, I just think we should go through the entire Sex and the City cast until we can
00:35:38.720
I think we just keep running through the entire...
00:35:55.200
It's just like, I would like to see somebody with some sense as governor of New York.
00:35:59.560
Imagine unleashing New York's economy with a libertarian approach.
00:36:05.380
I mean, I just can't think of it as even a realistic possibility.
00:36:08.560
This guy's a former Marine Corps vet and businessman, libertarian.
00:36:16.320
Imagine going the opposite direction that California and New York have been going.
00:36:25.140
Imagine getting some libertarians in there that says, okay, you know, what Detroit was doing
00:36:34.940
We're going to stop doing all the things that made Detroit Detroit today.
00:36:43.720
You know, that family, just let them rule until the end of time.
00:36:51.060
Glenn Beck is coming live to talk about the right path forward and to make fun of the
00:36:56.580
He might not be able to save the country, but at least we can all go down laughing.
00:37:06.880
So the FBI and the White House have both said that the FBI investigation into accusations
00:37:11.880
against Brett Kavanaugh will only concern the first two accusers and not the third.
00:37:23.740
She's one who accused Kavanaugh of, you know, it's like Mad Max in the Thunderdome and he's
00:37:37.560
They're now saying she's not going to be part of the investigation.
00:37:47.460
Guess who this woman is who accused Kavanaugh of being at 10 parties that she attended.
00:37:55.980
Where they were, where they were gang raping women.
00:38:11.280
You need at least 10 gang rape parties to prove that it's a negative concept.
00:38:15.480
So, I don't know if you know this, because I know you've been paying attention somewhat,
00:38:18.640
but you have been on the continent, and so you've been away from the country for a while.
00:38:24.760
If you don't know, can you guess who she got as her attorney?
00:38:37.880
Avenatti is essentially the Democratic Party at this point.
00:38:40.680
Everyone involved in the story has just turned into Avenatti, so why not have him involved?
00:38:46.460
He says, I'm still waiting for the FBI to contact me or my client.
00:38:54.260
Since this has come out, we have discovered that Ms. Swetnick might be far more dubious
00:39:01.800
Files have emerged from a lawsuit against her 18 years ago.
00:39:06.060
Quote, shortly after becoming employed with WebTrends, a co-worker reported to WebTrends
00:39:11.820
Human Resources Department that Swetnick had engaged in unwelcome sexually offensive
00:39:22.740
Rather than accept responsibility for her actions, she made false and retaliatory allegations
00:39:28.220
that other co-workers had engaged in inappropriate conduct toward her, end quote.
00:39:33.220
Ten years ago, she filed a sexual harassment complaint.
00:39:37.540
So that's two now against New York Life for the task.
00:39:53.980
The question is, when will people see through all of these games, all of these politics?
00:40:04.580
When are we going to see past even the people and start looking at the principles?
00:40:10.480
From the first moment of the Kavanaugh confirmation hearing, the Democrats have been nothing but
00:40:32.200
It would have been a down vote and nothing would have changed.
00:41:01.680
You still consider yourself a Democrat, Giancarlo?
00:41:08.760
I actually take these political quizzes every now and then, and my ideology has stayed the
00:41:14.860
What's happening, though, is that the party itself has gone absolutely insane.
00:41:24.140
I've been watching you on Twitter, and you've been one of the only Democrats that have come
00:41:34.660
Give me your view in the lay of the land from a Democratic point of view, from your point
00:41:42.280
I think it's perfectly legitimate to oppose Brett Kavanaugh's nomination on the basis
00:41:49.700
You know, if you believe certain things and he doesn't align with those beliefs, that's
00:41:56.520
Now, that being said, you leave it at that, right?
00:41:59.960
You don't go ahead and try to chop off someone's head and promote these outrageous accusations
00:42:06.160
against them, specifically the one by this woman, Julie Swetnick, who just don't even
00:42:15.620
I actually attended an all-boys Catholic school, too, so I could kind of speak to the culture
00:42:22.400
I mean, the thought that a group of 15-year-olds would be running a gang-rape cartel all throughout
00:42:28.560
high school, and that nobody would know anything about it up until now is just ludicrous.
00:42:33.980
And then that an adult, this woman who must have been like 20 years old at the time that
00:42:38.160
this happened, that she was frequenting parties with high school sophomores for two years.
00:42:43.920
I know, I know as high school sophomore myself, oh man, all me and my buddies, we were, the
00:42:56.080
Women, women usually look for a younger man, you know, especially those in high school.
00:43:06.800
Especially Brett Kavanaugh, who, let's just be clear, the guy sounds like he was a complete
00:43:14.160
This is somebody who kept, you can see on his calendar, he literally has notes of what
00:43:20.840
I mean, this guy was a complete dork in high school.
00:43:23.680
He's like the kind of guy who, if he comes home with your daughter or your sister, you'd
00:43:30.100
So the thought that this guy was running a gang-rape cartel in the suburbs of Maryland
00:43:37.040
But the thing is that we have entered, I think, that we've abandoned traditional forms
00:43:43.140
of religion, and now we're in the church of the social justice, right?
00:43:46.360
Where we just believe things based on a matter of faith, based on historical patterns of injustices
00:43:55.060
They want to believe that this guy did all these horrible things, because, you know, women
00:44:01.380
have had it rough for many years, and there has been a lot of sexism, and it still exists.
00:44:08.140
It's very similar to the rationale that we saw in the O.J. Simpson trial, but almost
00:44:13.760
This is like reliving the O.J. case again, where O.J. apparently, all the evidence pointed
00:44:19.020
that he was guilty, but he, like, half the country thought he wasn't guilty because the
00:44:27.140
So, you know, Giancarlo, I just did a monologue on this about a half hour ago, that African
00:44:33.560
Americans rightfully felt that the justice system had gone against the black man for so
00:44:41.200
Here is a black man fighting for his life, and they wanted him to beat the system.
00:44:48.480
I don't think at the time they actually believed he was innocent more than they wanted a black
00:44:56.760
You go back and you look at the polls then to the polls now in the African American community.
00:45:06.160
So what they were doing was saying they were rebelling against a system that was geared against
00:45:20.040
And let me tell you, I think Dr. Ford, who testified she's a serious person, she's as
00:45:25.820
qualified as a witness as someone could possibly want on the witness stand, right?
00:45:31.280
But when you actually start dissecting her testimony, I think, as you pointed out earlier,
00:45:38.340
It's just a series of inconsistencies that would make it physically impossible for Brett
00:45:45.300
Kavanaugh to have done this, or at least, at the very least, it severely limits the window
00:45:51.820
So the fact that the entire apparatus of the Democratic Party, which I understand how it
00:45:57.760
works, I used to work in communications, in political communication, so I understand how
00:46:02.860
talking points are circulated, and how people get on TV shows, the fact that everything
00:46:08.600
has been mobilized to support, look, the evidence just isn't there, right?
00:46:13.080
You don't crucify someone with zero evidence, and then what they're doing now is that they're
00:46:20.180
I saw Lawrence Tribe this morning, and he's tweeting, this guy's a respected Harvard scholar,
00:46:27.680
law professor, who's talking about, well, he must have drank when he was in.
00:46:37.440
I mean, I felt like tweeting at him, hey, Lawrence, those goalposts seem kind of heavy.
00:46:45.780
So, Giancarlo, we're talking to Giancarlo Sopo.
00:46:48.860
He is a Democrat who has not lost his footing with reason.
00:46:56.360
So, address people who are, let's say, a 20-something female that says, you know, but if there's a chance
00:47:08.580
that this guy did this, you know, I don't want that guy on the Supreme Court.
00:47:14.960
Yes, and there's also a chance that he was D.B. Cooper, right?
00:47:21.100
I mean, you have to go by the evidence in the case.
00:47:23.880
You have to evaluate cases based on the, you know, the unique dynamics of that particular situation.
00:47:30.680
There are other people that are just as qualified.
00:47:33.300
Why don't we just go, I mean, this guy, why don't we just go to somebody else?
00:47:36.940
Well, because what he's essentially being accused right now, he's essentially on a summary public execution trial
00:47:44.740
of the worst crime in the United States of America, in our legal system, short of murder.
00:47:52.880
So, the question now is, did he commit this, right?
00:47:55.760
And there's no evidence to reach that conclusion.
00:47:59.020
In fact, all of the evidence that has been presented is exculpatory, right?
00:48:13.380
And then, if you want to oppose his nomination based on his judicial record, that's absolutely fine.
00:48:17.660
That's a debate I'm willing to have with people.
00:48:19.980
But what we cannot do is become a banana republic where we just start convicting people, you know, air quotes, on mere accusations.
00:48:40.700
This would not meet any kind of legal standard, but it doesn't even meet a standard of common sense.
00:48:46.620
Because what you have here is a series of accusations that have been made with zero corroborative evidence, zero independent evidence to back this up.
00:48:56.280
And then, when you actually analyze the little evidence that exists, which is in the form of testimony of the alleged victim, her testimony, she contradicts herself in ways that are significant.
00:49:07.040
She changed the timeline of when this happened four times.
00:49:09.540
So I think people need to cast this aside unless the FBI finds something new.
00:49:15.520
Well, but that guy, that guy, that guy, you know, the friend, Judge Mark, Mark Judge, he sure seems like a bad guy.
00:49:27.700
But what we cannot do is play guilty by association, right?
00:49:34.400
Nobody, nobody, 99 percent of this country has never met this man, right?
00:49:40.000
And based off his own memoirs of somebody who was a very troubled person who had serious drinking issues, it's not Brett Kavanaugh.
00:49:47.540
We're not nominating Mark Judge for the Supreme Court.
00:49:50.040
It's Brett Kavanaugh is the one who's being nominated.
00:49:53.140
And if people want to take issue with his judicial philosophy, that's fine.
00:49:56.140
But what we can't do is destroy someone's life, destroy his family.
00:50:00.960
He coaches basketball for crying out loud, right?
00:50:03.480
We cannot destroy somebody's life based on mere allegations just because we disagree with them politically or ideologically.
00:50:11.820
That's what they do in banana republics and in third world countries.
00:50:15.520
It's not who we are in the United States of America.
00:50:19.600
When we come back, I want to ask you, if you don't mind holding on for a second, Giancarlo.
00:50:30.480
I really want to I really want to hear from people that can respond to what I'm hearing from the Democrats now, which is we just have to stop all of these people, the people, all the people on the all the people on the right.
00:50:51.240
You know, as I said earlier, one one prominent Democrat said we should.
00:50:57.000
What stops us from disturbing people where they sleep?
00:51:02.480
Well, that would be their home because these people are destroying our republic.
00:51:07.820
I have one question for people who think that the other side, either side is the enemy.
00:51:19.820
First, let me tell you about Mercury Real Estate.
00:51:22.660
Mercury Real Estate is actually a born out of frustration.
00:51:27.900
Myself and my wife, we were trying to sell our house years ago.
00:51:31.520
And man, we went through real estate agent, real estate agent, and they were all doing the same thing.
00:51:36.400
They're like, oh, no, we're going to have an open house.
00:51:39.620
So my wife can spend all day cleaning the house so you can have a bunch of real estate agents over or people who just, you know, are sightseeing for the day.
00:51:52.960
You ask that of the person that you are going to list your home with.
00:51:58.160
If they don't have an immediate answer and it's not impressive, move on.
00:52:02.240
We have looked now for the best real estate agents all across the country.
00:52:13.020
We vet all of these personally and handpick them for their knowledge, their skill, their track record, and their integrity.
00:52:21.240
Thousands of families have already put realestateagentsitrust.com to the test.
00:52:27.700
We are a person that just all we do is you say, I'm in this area, I want to sell my house, or I want to buy a house in this area.
00:52:35.620
We will line you up with the real estate agent in your area that can either buy your new home for the least amount of money or sell your home for the most amount of money.
00:52:57.820
Okay, here's the one question that I want to ask every single person in this audience.
00:53:07.180
Let's imagine for a second that every single person that you want elected,
00:53:12.220
from dog catcher to president of the United States,
00:53:22.080
and they are putting in all of the policies that you want.
00:53:37.100
There's 30% or 40% of the country that disagrees with your utopia.
00:53:46.580
What do you do with the 40% of the population that does not agree with you?
00:53:58.000
What do you do to make sure that those people don't start infecting the minds of others?
00:54:12.920
What happens with the ones who won't comply with these new rules?
00:54:16.680
What do you do to make sure that that utopia remains in place
00:54:26.540
And if history tells us anything, it swings the other direction.
00:54:31.820
Once you have the power, what are you willing to do to keep the power?
00:54:36.820
If your answer to all of those questions isn't nothing,
00:54:48.020
Because in America, the answer to what are you going to do
00:55:04.220
What are you doing to silence those who will not comply?
00:55:09.840
So anytime somebody says, we should shout these people down,
00:55:40.780
the more people that say we should round people up,
00:55:58.160
Be very careful on what you say and what you think.
00:56:03.260
The answer to these questions in America must remain nothing.
00:56:13.420
I will not do anything to my neighbor who disagrees with me.
00:56:18.860
I will not do anything and everything to hold on to power.
00:56:24.020
I will state my case and I will duke it out on the battlefield of ideas.
00:56:50.600
Back in a minute with the libertarian candidate
00:56:53.300
for governor of New York, Larry Sharp, when we come back.
00:57:03.040
You know, I'm so sick and tired of people saying,
00:57:09.960
and nobody's going to vote for the Republican in New York,
00:57:17.220
Why is nothing in life binary except elections now?
00:57:37.320
But you're not going to throw your vote away on a libertarian, are you?
00:57:41.360
In New York, there's a guy that I've been watching for a while.
00:57:45.440
His name is Larry Sharp, and he's running for governor of the state of New York,
00:57:57.220
If you're a voter in New York, I have 15 minutes or maybe less now,
00:58:03.800
12 minutes now scheduled with him, but I'm hoping that he has more time
00:58:08.020
because I think you're going to be fascinated by his story,
00:58:19.720
So I wanted to talk to you really from the beginning, if you have time,
00:58:25.600
to tell me the story of your life because you've had kind of a rough childhood.
00:58:45.520
Mom's family, she was afraid, wouldn't accept you.
00:58:54.580
I was born in Manhattan, as you said, biracial parents,
00:58:58.440
and my biological mom didn't think the family would accept me,
00:59:06.360
so I don't know what he was thinking, but he wasn't in my life.
00:59:09.980
So I was very lucky, and I was adopted by a biracial couple.
00:59:15.800
My mother was, my adopted mom, who was my mother, was German,
00:59:20.400
and met my father, who was black in the Army in Germany.
00:59:24.020
They brought me to the South Bronx, and that's where I was raised, by Yankee Stadium.
00:59:27.680
And you might know in the 70s and 60s when I was raised,
00:59:34.680
My father was a corrections officer at Rikers Island, the jail here in New York City.
00:59:39.000
My mother was a waitress and then worked in a bank.
00:59:45.260
We got enough money until we actually packed up and moved up to Long Island
00:59:53.540
We got out of the bad neighborhood and got to Long Island.
00:59:55.560
And when we got to Long Island, my father died.
00:59:59.000
And when he passed away, it was very hard for my mom because...
01:00:05.620
So when my father died, my mother's family was in Europe,
01:00:10.040
and they had basically abandoned her for leaving.
01:00:18.080
At that point, it was very hard for myself and my mom, of course, as you could assume.
01:00:21.680
So by the time I was 17, I was ready to get out of here.
01:00:26.080
I'm going to go off and I'm going to join the Army.
01:00:28.040
I'm going to go join the Army like my father, like my dad, and go join the Army.
01:00:33.500
And in this case, there are all four recruiters in the same building.
01:00:37.060
And I go to the Army recruiter and he tells me, son, it's going to be great.
01:00:43.300
And you're going to be, you know, traveling the world and meeting beautiful women.
01:00:46.680
And I'm 17 thinking, my God, this is going to be great.
01:00:49.280
And I walk out with all the go Army stuff in my arms and the book covers.
01:00:55.320
And he says, and as I'm walking out, the Marine Corps recruiter is there.
01:00:58.840
He has arms folded and he says, hey, son, can I talk to you?
01:01:04.160
He goes, that Army guy, he promised you a lot, didn't he?
01:01:06.400
I said, yeah, I'm going to be a general in like a month.
01:01:12.160
I'm going to get a doctorate degree in three days.
01:01:14.900
And he says, yeah, we call that the solar plan.
01:01:19.860
He goes, you know what I'm going to promise you?
01:01:31.920
But when I look back at that, I know I was desperately seeking positive male role models I didn't have.
01:01:41.280
Now, the Marine Corps, the military is not everybody.
01:01:47.380
And I said all the time, without the Marine Corps, I would have been a punk.
01:01:55.420
And when I got out of the Marine Corps about seven years later, my mom had really gone into a very bad place.
01:02:06.220
And she was addicted first to legal drugs and eventually illegal drugs.
01:02:14.340
And I used my whatever savings I had to try to get her back up and running.
01:02:23.100
If you've had a felon in your life, then you know how hard it can be.
01:02:29.700
And then when they get a job, they're a hostage to that job because they're afraid to do the job for them.
01:02:42.220
I figured if we're in charge and we're the bosses, you can't fire her.
01:02:58.340
I allow my mother to be hostage or I do something.
01:03:08.880
I never have and never will ever measure any plan I have against perfection because perfection doesn't work.
01:03:15.160
I measure my plan against status quo because status quo is what I have.
01:03:26.420
I actually left it and let her and my stepdad run it.
01:03:31.060
And when she retired, she did what too many New Yorkers do, and that is leave New York State.
01:03:36.640
So she did that, and she was fine until she passed away several years ago.
01:03:40.440
But after that, that's when I went off to do my own thing.
01:03:42.620
I had many different jobs and then decided, you know what?
01:03:53.160
And actually, believe it or not, that's when I first heard you back when you were on the Affiliate Station in the morning show.
01:04:02.500
That's when I first heard you doing your jokes about Afghanistan.
01:04:06.780
I remember I was driving around, and I would actually listen to you.
01:04:15.300
When you did your morning show, I remember listening to you back then.
01:04:17.880
And then I did that, and I sold that business off.
01:04:28.580
And then started this job now that I have, which I'm a trainer, consultant, teacher.
01:04:33.300
So I have large clients like Models and Estee Lauder and smaller clients like small law firms.
01:04:42.820
I've been an executive in a public company twice as a Band-Aid.
01:04:46.840
And I've taught in many colleges, at Baruch, John Jay.
01:04:49.200
And I've taught as a guest instructor at the graduate level of Yale and Columbia.
01:05:00.940
So you are a guy that, to me, seems tailor-made for the times that we live in.
01:05:08.200
I mean, I think Barack Obama was also, in some ways, tailor-made for the times that we live in.
01:05:14.600
And I don't think he lived up to his potential.
01:05:21.100
We need somebody that can speak to all sides with credibility.
01:05:26.520
Somebody who can speak to prison reform with credibility and not an axe to grind, but common sense and experience.
01:05:37.740
I mean, this is a thing that I've talked about all the time.
01:05:39.840
You know, I've dealt with and seen the prison system from both sides.
01:05:49.080
And that is, when you want to fix something, you don't walk in and start dictating.
01:05:57.380
The issue that we have, particularly in New York State, but throughout the country, is we have two-sided thinking, right?
01:06:04.520
Either every corrections officer is a thug and every single prisoner is a victim, or every prisoner is evil and should be killed and every corrections officer is perfect.
01:06:14.680
The reality of it is, to fix this situation in prison, we have to have the corrections officers as part of the solution.
01:06:22.380
And that's hard for people to understand because they think they're part of the system.
01:06:27.920
What I know for sure, in prison right now, we have people in jail who should probably never get out, ever, who are bad people who should never get out.
01:06:36.140
And there are people who made a mistake, should pay the debt of society, and should then get a second chance.
01:06:41.340
And people who probably shouldn't be in jail at all.
01:06:43.580
The issue is, I don't know which one is which, and I never will.
01:06:48.300
Corrections officers, who deal with them every day.
01:06:51.080
Those are the people who deal with the inmates every day.
01:06:54.920
You look at Massachusetts right now, they have the Humvee program, which is a program that has COs, corrections officers, and volunteers from outside together with a specific community.
01:07:06.720
But you can pick any community, a community that the COs know and that they see in prison every day.
01:07:11.280
You make that happen, and all of a sudden what happens?
01:07:13.400
You now have people who've had that problem come in as volunteers, know your tax money.
01:07:17.980
You also have corrections officers who know how to control people, know which people who can get in there,
01:07:23.520
know those who will be scamming, and will now see those who are scamming,
01:07:27.560
and will put the people who need to have the right to a second chance out there in this program.
01:07:33.120
The recidivism rate in Massachusetts in general is about 75%.
01:07:45.520
Here's a problem in New York State specifically for corrections officers.
01:07:54.100
Every corrections officer I've met either knows someone who's committed suicide
01:07:57.300
and or knows someone who is so ready to leave they have become completely apathetic to the system.
01:08:15.360
I already helped them out with all kinds of things.
01:08:18.900
There are so many COs who would happily shift into this world without having to change any,
01:08:26.320
They haven't had a contract in three years in New York State.
01:08:31.400
This is repairable if we actually use both sides and go in and ask the people who are there how to fix it.
01:08:44.520
I want to take a break because I want to talk to you about the economy.
01:08:48.740
I want to talk to you about business and the direction of California where they've just mandated that women now have to be on the board of directors.
01:08:59.540
We're going in a completely bizarre direction, and I would love to hear how you think you could make New York a more of a sane place.
01:09:14.880
Larry Sharp, he's running for governor as the libertarian, and I'm telling you, if you are looking for a candidate in New York, you can play the same game or you can try something different.
01:09:29.840
I want you to listen to Larry Sharp if you're in New York.
01:09:40.700
CarShield is a shield, really, not around your car as much as your wallet.
01:09:47.620
When you bring your car in for repair and your car has, I don't know, 5,000 to 150,000 miles and your warranty has expired, you're up for everything now.
01:09:58.780
And you have to replace a sensor and it could be 1,500 bucks, let alone replacing your engine or something massive, $5,000, $6,000.
01:10:08.940
I had some things that went wrong with one of my old trucks up at the ranch and brought it in, didn't know that this was going to happen, just was bringing it in for oil.
01:10:23.500
The reason why I don't remember exactly how much is because I didn't pay for it.
01:10:29.100
That's what it means to have your wallet and your car covered with CarShield.
01:10:35.180
CarShield, it's the ultimate in extended vehicle protection.
01:10:39.740
Before something goes wrong, call them right now, 800-CAR-6100, 800-CAR-6100.
01:10:46.340
Mention the promo code BECK or visit carshield.com and use the promo code BECK and you're going to save 10%.
01:10:51.640
That's carshield.com, promo code BECK, deductible, may apply.
01:10:55.940
We're talking to Larry Sharp, a native New Yorker, 15 years of experience, training, mentoring, international executives, entrepreneurs, salespeople.
01:11:11.080
He has taught at Yale, Columbia, John Jay College.
01:11:16.620
He is also a guest instructor for English management as well as business.
01:11:23.540
He's running for the gubernatorial position in New York City.
01:11:32.280
And I want to hold you over past the top of the hour if you don't mind because I want to talk to you about the economy and business.
01:11:46.040
Just in 45 seconds or a minute, what's your take on the Kavanaugh thing?
01:11:58.440
I mean, is there a bigger principle at stake here?
01:12:03.700
What should the average person do with the Kavanaugh information?
01:12:07.260
I think the, look, I'm not happy with the way it went at all, but I'm okay with an investigation.
01:12:16.000
We shouldn't assume someone's bad because one person says anything.
01:12:18.780
We do have to have innocent until proven guilty.
01:12:24.860
I do work with criminal defense attorneys all the time, and that's a critical issue.
01:12:29.720
We have a situation to where because someone's accusation is harsh, that means the person is guilty.
01:12:38.000
We want people to decide, are they guilty or not?
01:12:40.700
Otherwise, I can simply use accusation as a weapon.
01:12:46.120
And now, well, killing someone is a serious accusation.
01:12:49.580
Therefore, Glenn should lose his ability to be in the media because the accusation is so harsh.
01:13:00.220
That's the basic answer I would expect from somebody who is for prison reform.
01:13:07.040
That's the problem with our, that's why we need prison reform.
01:13:09.820
One of the reasons is because, you know, it has been unjust at times, and we need to make sure it's the facts and justice is blind.
01:13:19.960
Larry Sharp, running for the governor of New York.
01:13:24.840
We're going to continue our conversation, talk about the economy, trade, maybe if he has any insight at all on this new NAFTA deal, which we have very few details on, and how he can benefit the state of New York when we come back.
01:13:39.820
Glenn Beck is coming live to talk about the right path forward and to make fun of the people standing in the way.
01:13:45.200
He might not be able to save the country, but at least we can all go down laughing.
01:13:48.500
Glenn Beck live, the Addicted to Outrage Tour, on tour this fall.
01:14:01.440
So here we are about a month from the election, and things are changing.
01:14:06.080
Dynamic change is just over the horizon for our entire country.
01:14:11.340
And New York is trying to select, are we going to stay the course with Governor Cuomo, or are we going to change course?
01:14:21.640
Now, the Democrats are basically, they are Democratic Socialists now.
01:14:29.420
The Republicans, I think, are just the status quo is state by state.
01:14:45.680
He's a teacher and guest instructor who has taught English management business at Yale, Columbia, John Jay College.
01:14:55.760
He, his professional life, his mother was having some issues, and he's like, I got to find, help her find a job.
01:15:07.960
And then he's a serial entrepreneur from there.
01:15:14.720
So, Larry, let's talk about what it means to be a libertarian in New York.
01:15:21.960
It's actually a great thing, believe it or not.
01:15:23.920
I mean, to be forward with you, it's the only party that actually crosses the line.
01:15:28.940
Right now, we have a situation to where Republicans don't want to vote for Democrats, Democrats don't want to vote for Republicans.
01:15:34.380
And we have 70% of New Yorkers who actually don't vote.
01:15:39.540
It's an issue where people are saying it doesn't matter.
01:15:41.520
In fact, most New Yorkers, if you ask them, they're thinking about leaving the state.
01:15:45.440
We have over 100,000 leaving every single year.
01:15:47.840
Over a million have left in the past eight years.
01:15:50.380
You know, I will judge my term by a very simple number, and that is, are there still 100,000 New Yorkers leaving every year?
01:16:04.000
And as a governor, my customer is my population.
01:16:06.300
Am I drawing people into my state, or am I pushing them away?
01:16:13.020
The Democrats have basically run our state at a statewide level for about 16 years, give or take.
01:16:17.900
So if they were going to fix this state, they would have already fixed it.
01:16:21.020
The Republicans, they've been watching this for 16 years.
01:16:24.120
So my question to any Republican is, where's their plan?
01:16:30.360
I've been doing this for one year, and in one year, I have both a plan and a movement.
01:16:39.860
I am the only non-establishment candidate in this race, which is why we can win.
01:16:48.940
And I'm one who can actually, I can give the right what they want and the left what they want,
01:16:53.260
as long as you don't enforce your will on others.
01:16:58.640
I will tell you, Larry, I think that the libertarianism is really dicey, because sometimes there's libertarians who,
01:17:16.900
And there are those libertarians that I think the last candidate for president was still kind of big state on many issues.
01:17:25.960
The great thing about libertarianism is it allows the individual to be as socially liberal as you want.
01:17:36.240
But it also requires you to be fiscally responsible because it's turning things back to where they belong in the hands of the people.
01:17:49.960
We don't want one city running the entire state.
01:18:04.320
We have New York City, the biggest city in the entire nation.
01:18:12.140
I want to allow counties to be counties and regions to be regions and people to be people.
01:18:18.500
The issue becomes, why do I want to enforce my will upon you?
01:18:22.620
I want you to be as conservative or as liberal as you want to be.
01:18:26.900
People tease me and say, Larry, you're from Queens.
01:18:34.540
You don't know what's right for me in Queens either.
01:18:37.600
How about I let you be you, you let me be me, and we can all be free together.
01:18:51.900
So, Larry, tell me, day one, you're governor of New York.
01:18:59.740
And to be clear about this, when I win this thing, I can win this thing with about 30%
01:19:05.140
Because it's a five-way race in New York State.
01:19:07.080
And we are a plurality state, not a majority state.
01:19:19.160
So assuming that I win this thing, I'm going to have 30%.
01:19:22.400
30% of the vote for a third party is a mandate.
01:19:26.620
To be forward with you, Glenn, this is the most important single election in the entire
01:19:33.840
There are many other things that work more importantly as a whole.
01:19:38.300
If I come in first, it changes the entire nation overnight.
01:19:42.680
Not just for the Libertarian Party, but for any third party.
01:19:47.080
Yeah, this is, I think, if people thought Donald Trump was groundbreaking, a Libertarian winning
01:19:59.300
I mean, it would just change the political system overnight.
01:20:07.260
But first, it would literally change the nation.
01:20:09.240
It would give every third party a better chance.
01:20:11.340
It would make better Democrats and better Republicans.
01:20:13.640
Because right now, Republicans just have to talk about, I'll protect you from the Democrat.
01:20:19.980
They don't have to worry about smaller government.
01:20:23.840
It's just, I'll protect you from the evil left.
01:20:30.480
They're supposed to just go, I'm going to protect you from the evil right.
01:20:33.480
But when there's a third party there, when Libertarians can point the finger and say,
01:20:40.320
Republicans, what happened to smaller government?
01:20:47.360
So day one is I have to recover from the shock.
01:20:51.160
There will be a massive culture shock within the state and within the nation.
01:20:56.840
But something else, I don't have a career to protect.
01:21:03.400
So I can actually just do what I want, which is amazing.
01:21:06.300
I'm assuming that I will be in court my entire four years.
01:21:14.640
Two, a complete reboot of how we mandate every local county to pay for things that the people
01:21:20.620
don't want to pay for, a thing called unfunded mandates.
01:21:23.820
That's how Albany, which is our capital in New York State, and Washington, D.C. control every
01:21:29.340
local county and take the power away from local governments.
01:21:32.300
And next, I have to create a culture of transparency.
01:21:34.360
Because the problem with local governments now is they're enforcing the king's will.
01:21:43.380
And I don't want the state government to be, I'm the king and I enforce my will.
01:21:47.880
I want the state government to be, I will protect your rights of the individual against the
01:22:05.640
I want to make sure that, look, if we focus on the individual more, we will have better
01:22:09.460
individual families, better individual businesses, better individual people who are trying to
01:22:17.160
I want the local communities to provide more value to each community.
01:22:21.040
We don't do that well in New York State at all.
01:22:23.060
We have things called regional economic development corporations, which Albany, which is our capital
01:22:30.000
And Albany decides where taxpayer money is spent within an individual county.
01:22:34.280
How about instead the counties can start to budget at zero so they can decide what they
01:22:43.780
One, instead of me focusing on lowering taxes, how about I focus instead on raising money through
01:22:49.400
ways other than taxation and through lowering spending?
01:22:54.740
We have bridges right now in New York State, and one of them is named the Mario Cuomo Bridge.
01:23:00.300
We literally have an imperial bridge named after our royal family.
01:23:04.740
How about instead that bridge is named the Staples Bridge or the Verizon Bridge or the
01:23:09.240
Apple Bridge, and we can lease naming rights for the bridge.
01:23:22.220
These are companies that are paying billions of dollars right now every year on marketing.
01:23:25.740
They drop $20 million on a stadium name that's used on the weekends.
01:23:29.120
I got a bridge you can name, and that bridge gets mentioned hundreds of times on every
01:23:33.540
single day during rush hour in a 16-million-person metro area, and hundreds of thousands of cars
01:23:41.760
You will easily drop $50 million on that, if not more.
01:24:07.120
We're not spending money on the repairs, lower spending.
01:24:20.760
We'll actually have safer bridges, less money, and guess what?
01:24:28.880
If you're a truck driver, I know if you're a truck driver, you pay by the axle.
01:24:35.780
Less money, less corruption, safer, better service.
01:24:42.020
This is just one idea, and there are many of them.
01:24:46.000
This is what we have to work on in New York State.
01:24:48.780
So, Larry, it's amazing to me how we are running headlong, just willing to give up everything that we have already, the freedoms that we have, and embrace democratic socialism.
01:25:14.120
How do you get the common sense Democrat and Republican who has been raised in New York, so their mentality is, I mean, this would sell in Texas.
01:25:26.760
How do you get them in New York to see, guys, this works?
01:25:35.600
The Democrats think, I'm afraid, so let's just vote Democrat.
01:25:40.800
The reality is, again, 70% of New Yorkers don't vote.
01:25:46.180
We can't have fear be the reason why people vote.
01:25:51.320
But I would say that in reality, I'm trying to change this to make it so that people stop voting for the less of two evils and instead vote for someone.
01:25:59.640
I am actually using, if you've noticed, I'm using nontraditional media.
01:26:04.440
Traditional media does not want to cover me, and polls don't want to deal with me.
01:26:07.120
But nontraditional media is working, and I'm getting out there, and people are seeing me.
01:26:11.820
They're responding to me, and this is what's working.
01:26:14.320
The way to make this happen is through nontraditional media.
01:26:20.080
And I hear all the time people say, Larry, I don't agree with everything you're saying, but you actually answer questions.
01:26:44.200
Okay, I'll hold you over and tell me how we fix education and higher education.
01:27:01.780
When we come back, Larry Sharp, I have to tell you, if I was living in New York and I was a Republican, I cannot imagine a reason why I would not vote for him.
01:27:12.240
The Democrat is going to win against the Republican.
01:27:17.540
Why would you not get into this camp and shake things apart?
01:27:26.640
First, our sponsor is Liberty Safe, the number one manufacturer of safes in the nation.
01:27:38.800
I get to I get to do business with these sometimes a little nutty, you know, inventors or these these crazy people.
01:27:49.280
And they start out advertising with us years ago.
01:27:52.600
And they were they were, you know, just they were people who had a great product, but it was local.
01:27:59.720
When Liberty Safe started with us, they'd been in business for a long time, but they weren't like they are now.
01:28:04.800
Now you go into Cabela's, if you see a safe and it says Cabela's, that's a Liberty Safe rebranded.
01:28:10.220
And in fact, it's my understanding that Cabela's is actually saying you don't need to rebrand us because your brand is now known to Cabela's and Cabela's customers.
01:28:20.140
And they're asking for a Liberty and they're like, well, that's just that is the Cabela safe.
01:28:28.040
And and it's this great company of Americans doing it right.
01:28:35.400
You want to be protected from fire or, you know, tornado or or just a burglar coming in?
01:28:53.700
We don't have any of the details, but I'm anxious to see this deal and see what Donald Trump has brought to NAFTA.
01:29:07.700
How do we how do we change education in New York?
01:29:17.340
We dropped twenty two thousand dollars per kid and at best get mediocre results.
01:29:21.620
And the first thing is ending standardized testing until high school.
01:29:26.640
Standardized testing is an unfair way way of grading teachers, an unfair way of rewarding schools.
01:29:32.560
It makes kids who are 10, 11 and 12 who don't test well feel stupid and create a second class of student in elementary school.
01:29:40.480
And it is absolutely no indication of success in life for the future.
01:29:44.300
But when that goes away, a couple of things will happen.
01:29:49.000
I don't have a problem letting Common Core go away.
01:29:51.260
I'm the only guy who says let teachers teach and then does not add administrators.
01:29:57.400
My goal is to remove administrators to allow teachers to actually teach.
01:30:01.480
We have school districts in New York State where there are more administrators than teachers.
01:30:06.340
So once we do that, we'll find all of a sudden we'll be able to get rid of a lot of administrators.
01:30:11.240
An average teacher in New York State makes about 80K.
01:30:14.300
The average administrator makes over six figures.
01:30:16.900
You get rid of two administrators, that's either two new teachers or raises or more equipment.
01:30:22.000
And to our point earlier, I don't decide what that is.
01:30:26.200
They know what they need and they can repair how they want to repair.
01:30:32.320
I mean, the unions in New York are out of control.
01:30:35.680
Well, with the Janus decision, it helps, obviously.
01:30:38.520
But the issue here becomes I'm not anti-union in any way, shape, or form.
01:30:41.980
The union leadership hates me because they're establishment.
01:30:45.300
The union workers love me because I'm the only one who would tell them I would negotiate openly,
01:30:52.320
Unions are literally, in the First Amendment, they are freedom of speech.
01:30:57.240
But as long as they're not forced to join, I don't have a problem with them at all.
01:31:04.620
But I was asking you about the unions are in such control that you're paying,
01:31:09.840
the state is paying for teachers that have abused children,
01:31:18.920
Most of that is happening because of both Albany and D.C. control and Albany and D.C. money.
01:31:25.600
From D.C. we get about $4 billion every year, and that controls a lot.
01:31:30.920
When that money begins to go away, number one, that will help.
01:31:33.620
But the second thing is I'm not beholden to union leadership.
01:31:39.320
Union leadership is not going to vote for me anyway.
01:31:41.280
I don't need 70% of New Yorkers to vote for me.
01:31:46.040
You just said $4 billion goes away from the federal government.
01:31:54.320
And the first thing is we're going to lose administrators, which will make things a little bit better,
01:32:02.540
The last two years of high school for too many kids is gym, study hall, playing video games.
01:32:10.680
The first year of college for too many kids is 13th grade.
01:32:15.700
And it takes over six years for the average kid to graduate college.
01:32:19.800
So how about instead at 16, you get your high school diploma if you pass the test.
01:32:25.580
Option one, if you think college is good for you, awesome.
01:32:29.560
Go to a very good two-year prep school to get you into the school you want.
01:32:36.260
You can take advantage of incubators, of internships, maybe graduate in three years.
01:32:47.980
Start your path onto your doctorate right away.
01:33:06.880
Which is why we have a desperate requirement for tradesmen and foreign labor.
01:33:10.160
We need our kids to be jumping into trades like there's no tomorrow.
01:33:13.340
And we push them away if they're not important.
01:33:18.620
I'd love to have you back before the election because I would like to talk to you about finances
01:33:23.020
and the financial sector, which I think is abused in New York and abuses New York.
01:33:55.500
I'm interested to see the details of the new NAFTA plan.
01:33:58.860
Donald Trump says instead of jobs leaving America, they are excited that jobs will be
01:34:15.800
He's got the Pat Gray podcast and and on the Blaze Radio Network right after this show.
01:34:22.620
Some people would call it Pat Gray Unleashed, but I know you wouldn't.
01:34:25.540
No, I wouldn't because I'm not good at those things.
01:34:37.700
So anyway, Pat Gray Unleashed, you can find it on iTunes and Stitcher and wherever you
01:34:41.580
find your your podcast or you listen to on the Blaze Radio Network.
01:34:48.460
This license plate collection that's going on by the government.
01:34:51.300
You know, those little signs that tell you how fast you're going.
01:34:54.300
They're starting to use those to collect license.
01:34:56.240
It's not just to warn you, hey, you're going 33 instead of 30.
01:34:59.920
They're also recording your license plate number in there and keeping it on file just in case
01:35:04.920
you ever commit a crime, which is fantastic, because point zero zero five percent of people
01:35:13.400
that they're recording and collecting their data are actual criminals.
01:35:26.320
Why don't you feel comfortable with the government having your whereabouts?
01:35:30.120
Well, because I don't know what the government is going to consider, you know, bad in the
01:35:36.720
You know, between between this, the NSA collection of email and phone calls and civil asset forfeiture,
01:35:50.440
And I would like to add one other deal that Brett Kavanaugh me to kind of stuff.
01:35:56.340
Where the first step is that's a thing to dumping stuff out.
01:36:00.220
Have you seen that we're not even innocent until proven guilty anymore?
01:36:03.680
There's the you know, we've been talking about deep fakes for a while now, and I don't think
01:36:07.020
most people even know what a deep fake is, but deep fakes, they have just hit another
01:36:12.320
milestone, and that is your gait and your mannerisms that it can now mimic.
01:36:19.320
It can take a video of you and it can take another video or they can just type in what
01:36:25.940
they want it to say and they can take a video of you moving, talking, walking, doing whatever,
01:36:32.460
and then they can shape a fake you doing and saying whatever they want it to say.
01:36:39.960
And now the mannerisms, the gait, the in your in your voice, in your voice, the voice is
01:36:56.680
You cannot tell the difference with an exception of just a few things are glitchy in by 2020.
01:37:13.500
Can you imagine the stuff we can get Jeffy convicted for now?
01:37:22.620
So Jeff Fisher is also joining us because he's starting a new podcast today.
01:37:29.680
Been doing a segment on Pat Unleashed for a few months now.
01:38:02.320
It starts today, Monday through Friday, every afternoon.
01:38:05.840
And remind me again why I thought it was worth paying you to do this.
01:38:20.520
Look, you can worry about the end of time, blah, blah, blah.
01:38:25.040
We need to worry about the saving of the Constitution.
01:38:30.880
People want to be able to go home and laugh with their kids a little bit.
01:38:35.980
Instead of going home wanting to, you know, end it, end their life.
01:38:43.700
So, you know, I just want to be able to have people know what's going on in the world.
01:38:51.400
I mean, my favorite Internet poll of the weekend was, if your 16-year-old daughter needed
01:38:55.920
to get a ride home at night alone, who would you want to give her a ride?
01:39:08.060
I mean, I think we all know what the answer is.
01:39:26.640
I mean, if those are your choices, I would pick Brett and he could take him home.
01:39:31.360
I was talking to somebody who has a son who's about to go to college.
01:39:38.980
Like, this is a different era you're going into.
01:39:41.200
And their advice was, if you're ever at a party and there is a girl who is, you know,
01:39:46.320
drunk, what would you normally do in the old days?
01:39:50.600
You'd make sure they were taken care of for that night.
01:39:54.260
Because if you do that, you're the person alone with this girl.
01:39:57.820
God only knows what happens four decades later.
01:40:10.960
Are you thinking of a word that starts with N and ends in Otsie?
01:40:23.140
It is, it is making us afraid to do what the Lord would have us do.
01:40:45.400
And if the good guy doesn't step in to make sure the girl gets home alone, she's left with
01:40:53.420
And God only knows, it could actually increase these incidents.
01:40:59.480
I mean, I think this is going to, this is, eventually, if this doesn't stop, perpetrators
01:41:15.780
We know that racism exists, but it has been so overplayed.
01:41:21.820
It really takes somebody to say, I think that guy's a racist.
01:41:31.800
You have to, there has to be like legitimate convincing evidence.
01:41:36.760
And he's a, he's a, he's a bigot misogynist as well.
01:41:42.880
Well, one of the things I'm excited about on the Jeff Fisher podcast, Chewing the Fat
01:41:46.880
If you search for Jeff Fisher on iTunes, it'll come up, um, is in this week, we experienced
01:41:50.940
this back in the day with a show on Pat and Stu.
01:41:54.600
Jeffy has a unique ability to find these stories and they, they always make me a tad uncomfortable
01:42:02.900
But, uh, that's kind of the world Jeffy lives in and it's, it always, he always adds something
01:42:07.860
to, uh, to, to your understanding of the news and the, the bizarre trends that are just
01:42:14.520
Uh, so I am excited to see this in full, I'm excited to do it.
01:42:18.360
Look at there's, you know, I I'm here to help to, you know, reminding people that, you know,
01:42:29.820
30 some days left until the election that we're all worried about coming on.
01:42:42.840
Anyway, we're going to have it for you, you know, 4 PM central, 5 PM, uh, Eastern.
01:42:52.460
Um, I saw that you, uh, vetoed, uh, the, uh, logo for the show.
01:42:58.500
And I don't know if you know this, but you don't veto here.
01:43:06.740
No, I didn't say I really don't like the other one.
01:43:11.560
The one that does seem to have Jeffy's face seared into a steak?
01:43:21.420
His cheek is right on the fat to the marbling of the steak.
01:43:30.040
That will be up when you go by this afternoon, when you go to download, uh, chewing the fat
01:43:48.020
I mean, even if you don't get to listen today, you have to at least go and check out the logo.
01:43:52.400
You just go to, go to iTunes and subscribe right now, just because you don't even have
01:43:58.760
It'll make you laugh every day when it pops up, you'll just see him in a marbled steak
01:44:23.000
Those are the two podcasts you should go subscribe to right now.
01:44:25.380
The one, you'll see the one with the steak marbling his face later on.
01:44:37.280
Let me tell you about our response to this half hour.
01:44:44.160
You know, there's nothing, there's nothing worse than, oh, sitting around and waiting
01:44:53.340
Once you've made the decision to make, to buy the house, then you have to wait for them
01:44:58.260
Well, yeah, because they, a lot of places treat it like it's a gift to you.
01:45:04.920
I'd rather have someone who's honest with me about it and says, hey, look, this is
01:45:08.720
You got to make sure you're doing it the right way.
01:45:16.800
I don't know how many houses I've bought in my life.
01:45:19.540
No bank has ever said to me, okay, so let's start here.
01:45:25.840
No, this is like you winning the lottery, right?
01:45:31.360
Anyway, American Financing takes all of the pain out of it for you.
01:45:37.820
They have access to every loan in the industry.
01:45:40.380
They're not a bank, so they are not trying to sell you one instrument or the other.
01:45:50.000
They have an A-plus rating with the BBB and over 1,800 Google reviews.
01:46:02.440
You need to refinance or you need a new loan, AmericanFinancing.net.
01:46:19.340
American Financing Corporation, NMLS 182334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.
01:46:33.700
He says he was bullied behind stage by the Saturday Night Live crew and staff saying,
01:46:44.160
And then he gave a pro-Trump speech that was edited out of the show.
01:46:52.040
But on the way back, he tweets on his airplane, just him in the Trump hat.
01:47:00.820
And he tweets something about, you know, we got to abolish the 13th Amendment.
01:47:09.500
And they're just all about, oh, he wants to bring slavery.
01:47:22.420
I just want you to Google 13th Amendment Huffington Post.
01:47:32.240
That is about saying that we never abolished slavery.
01:47:40.220
That we went from the plantation to the prisons.
01:47:56.520
They're going to act as if that isn't what he was talking about.
01:48:04.180
It is interesting that the 13th Amendment did not outlaw slavery.
01:48:08.700
It said, neither slavery nor involuntary servitude.
01:48:29.000
Which is something that we all kind of understand.
01:48:39.260
And there should be an amendment that says that, you know, you can have this.
01:48:51.920
Are saying that basically you're arresting black people to get them to be slaves.
01:48:57.700
This is post-modernist nonsense to the nth degree.
01:49:08.480
He obviously likes some of the stuff Trump is doing.
01:49:10.420
But this is not a conservative argument by any means.
01:49:14.520
But he is, I mean, that's his language of saying we need prison reform.
01:49:24.720
But he's using the reason why the left is getting away with, you know, making his tweet
01:49:30.980
look racist is because they know this language.
01:49:37.920
And again, shows that they don't care about the issue as much as they care about political
01:49:41.340
The fact he's supporting their far left viewpoint.
01:49:45.800
Kanye West is echoing a far left rallying cry of activists.
01:49:51.020
And they'd rather trash him because of the hat he wears.
01:49:59.500
You think you think the left cares about prison reform.
01:50:02.880
Kanye West and his wife have done now more with Donald Trump on prison reform than a lot
01:50:10.020
of presidents have done and a lot of celebrities.
01:50:12.560
They're more interested in killing his career and reputation and smearing him than actually
01:50:22.260
That should tell you something about who they are and a little something perhaps about how
