00:00:35.120 Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:00:38.080 It's a new week, a new day. Stu has decided to grace us with his presence.

00:00:43.180 And we want to start with millennials.

00:00:46.440 The discussion on millennials is they're lazy, they feel entitled.

00:00:53.980 Simon Sinek, who is a friend of mine and a very bright, bright man,

00:00:59.000 has diagnosed it perfectly in this interview that we were listening to earlier today.

00:01:05.620 And we thought, he's got it.

00:01:09.080 However, does he have the solution?

00:01:13.160 The future of our country depends on the millennials.

00:01:17.520 Who are they and what's happening?

00:01:19.680 Beginning right now.

00:01:20.840 I will make a stand, I will raise my voice, I will hold your hand.

00:01:35.960 Because we are one, I will beat my drum.

00:01:40.000 I have made my choice, we will overcome.

00:01:43.680 Because we are one.

00:01:46.240 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:50.440 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:56.480 Welcome to the program. So glad that you're here.

00:01:58.740 Let's go with Simon Sinek.

00:02:01.160 In an interview that he did about millennials in front of a crowd,

00:02:06.800 about what is really happening with millennials,

00:02:11.860 and how do we reach out to millennials?

00:02:14.540 What do we need to do to get them truly engaged?

00:02:18.580 Because there is a sense of entitlement there.

00:02:21.780 Listen.

00:02:23.280 The generation that we call the millennials,

00:02:25.660 too many of them grew up subject to, not my words,

00:02:32.480 failed parenting strategies.

00:02:34.640 You know?

00:02:35.460 Where, for example, they were told that they were special all the time.

00:02:39.680 They were told that they could have anything they want in life.

00:02:42.240 Just because they want it.

00:02:44.140 Right?

00:02:44.700 They were told, some of them got into honors classes,

00:02:49.160 not because they deserved it, but because their parents complained.

00:02:51.200 And some of them got A's, not because they earned them,

00:02:53.720 but because the teachers didn't want to deal with the parents.

00:02:55.700 We stop here for a second.

00:02:57.460 Where did that failed parenting strategy come from? 0.95

00:03:03.180 Where did that fail?

00:03:04.720 Who was it?

00:03:05.560 Let me reverse that.

00:03:06.820 Who was it that was standing against the awards for last place?

00:03:12.800 Oh, conservatives.

00:03:14.100 Conservatives.

00:03:15.180 Conservatives were all saying.

00:03:16.560 We begged you not to.

00:03:17.520 This is not going to work.

00:03:18.740 This is not going to work.

00:03:20.320 Oh, my gosh.

00:03:20.760 So, I think we need to.

00:03:21.740 At the top of our lungs, we were screaming that.

00:03:23.040 Right, right.

00:03:23.880 So, I think the first thing we just need to put up on the chalkboard,

00:03:26.580 just point number one, not all of America was behind this.

00:03:30.360 No way would Simon recognize that, but it's a fact.

00:03:33.880 I think he would.

00:03:34.580 I think he would.

00:03:35.200 I don't think he would.

00:03:36.200 But we should ask him.

00:03:37.280 To back Simon with the stats on that,

00:03:39.780 in 1940, 14.9% of college grades were A's.

00:03:45.500 14.9%.

00:03:46.600 Today, it's 45.3%.

00:03:49.040 Yeah, it's even worse in the Ivy League school.

00:03:51.060 They're just, they're that much smarter.

00:03:52.780 They're that much smarter, right?

00:03:54.180 I mean, think about that.

00:03:55.500 When he talks about people achieving these things without achieving them.

00:03:59.080 I mean, there's no way.

00:04:01.360 If it's true that they're that much smarter,

00:04:03.600 then the classes should be harder.

00:04:04.980 You shouldn't be giving half the grades an entire,

00:04:07.500 all over, not just one school or one class,

00:04:09.920 all of college, half of them are A's.

00:04:12.700 And we should have the greatest school system in the world.

00:04:15.320 In the world.

00:04:15.700 And you're out.

00:04:16.380 In the world.

00:04:17.100 And we don't.

00:04:17.940 And it doesn't happen that way.

00:04:19.000 Anyway, he goes on to diagnose the problem.

00:04:21.540 Participation medals.

00:04:22.680 You've got a medal for coming in last, right?

00:04:25.000 Which the science we know is pretty clear,

00:04:27.220 which is it devalues the medal and the reward

00:04:29.600 for those who actually work hard.

00:04:30.980 And that actually makes the person who comes in last feel embarrassed

00:04:33.640 because they know they didn't deserve it.

00:04:35.500 So it actually makes them feel worse, right?

00:04:37.320 Hello.

00:04:37.720 So you take this group of people and they graduate school

00:04:40.040 and they get a job and they're thrust into the real world.

00:04:43.460 And in an instant, they find out they're not special.

00:04:45.420 Their moms can't get them a promotion. 1.00

00:04:48.280 That you get nothing for coming in last.

00:04:50.420 And by the way, you can't just have it because you want it, right?

00:04:52.720 And in an instant, their entire self-image is shattered.

00:04:55.360 And so you have an entire generation that's growing up

00:04:57.280 with lower self-esteem than previous generations.

00:04:58.880 The other problem, to compound it,

00:05:00.800 is we're growing up in a Facebook, Instagram world.

00:05:03.920 In other words, we're good at putting filters on things.

00:05:05.700 We're good at showing people that life is amazing

00:05:08.560 even though I'm depressed, right?

00:05:10.360 Hey, stop for a second.

00:05:11.260 And so...

00:05:11.760 Notice that the first problem,

00:05:13.920 he wrapped all of that up, failed parenting strategies.

00:05:17.580 He wrapped that up with the diagnosis of what?

00:05:21.760 What does he say that all led to?

00:05:24.960 This is such a huge, huge problem.

00:05:27.520 What does he say?

00:05:28.320 Social media?

00:05:29.180 No.

00:05:30.080 That's the next, that's point number two.

00:05:31.840 Looking for...

00:05:32.980 He said...

00:05:33.920 Self-esteem.

00:05:34.300 Self-esteem.

00:05:35.140 The lowest self-esteem on record.

00:05:38.240 Which is crazy because all...

00:05:40.300 Everybody's a winner.

00:05:41.200 Every strategy today is to make them have higher self-esteem.

00:05:44.060 But it...

00:05:44.940 But it fails.

00:05:45.640 But it fails because you're not actually having to accomplish anything.

00:05:48.720 Because it's artificial.

00:05:49.840 Right.

00:05:50.260 It's artificial.

00:05:51.060 Right.

00:05:51.260 You can't tell somebody they're great when they're not.

00:05:53.880 If they're not...

00:05:54.640 They know it.

00:05:55.540 That's why we handle Jeffy.

00:05:56.500 They know when somebody is on the team...

00:05:58.320 Good to have you back, boy.

00:06:00.500 When they're on the team and they know that nobody's really listening to me.

00:06:05.520 I'm not...

00:06:06.520 I'm just on this team.

00:06:07.840 Mm-hmm.

00:06:08.060 For whatever reason, I've got pictures of the boss.

00:06:12.160 People know I'm not making a difference.

00:06:15.000 Nothing I do is really helping anything.

00:06:18.060 When you have that, low self-esteem kicks in.

00:06:22.520 They want...

00:06:23.000 I hear this from employee after employee after employee.

00:06:26.360 I just want to do something that makes a difference.

00:06:30.400 So when they're saying low self-esteem and when millennials say, I want to make a difference,

00:06:37.060 what they're saying is, I have low self-esteem.

00:06:41.800 I have to do something that means something.

00:06:44.980 This is what is propelling them, I believe, in their boots-on-the-ground kind of activities.

00:06:52.820 Where they say, I don't want to just talk about it.

00:06:55.100 I want to go out and do it.

00:06:56.580 They've heard the talk about how special they are their whole life.

00:07:00.120 They know they're not.

00:07:01.700 They know that's a lie.

00:07:03.060 And because of that, they have low self-esteem.

00:07:05.260 So now they're really motivated to stop talking about it and go actually do it.

00:07:11.700 But getting there is the hard part.

00:07:14.140 Everybody sounds tough.

00:07:16.060 And everybody sounds like they got it all figured out.

00:07:17.820 And the reality is, there's very little toughness and most people don't have it figured out.

00:07:21.420 And so when the more senior people say, well, what should we do?

00:07:24.020 They sound like, this is what you got to do.

00:07:26.480 And they have no clue.

00:07:28.480 Right?

00:07:28.840 So you have an entire generation growing up with lower self-esteem than previous generations.

00:07:35.560 Right?

00:07:36.520 Through no fault of their own.

00:07:37.940 Through no fault of their own.

00:07:39.320 Right?

00:07:39.640 They were dealt a bad hand.

00:07:41.600 Right?

00:07:41.740 Now, let's add in technology.

00:07:44.360 We know that engagement with social media and our cell phones releases a chemical called dopamine.

00:07:51.880 That's why when you get a text, it feels good.

00:07:54.480 Right?

00:07:54.880 So, you know, we've all had it where you're feeling a little bit down or feeling a little

00:07:57.220 lonely.

00:07:57.860 And so you send out 10 texts to 10 friends.

00:07:59.620 You know, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi.

00:08:03.040 Because it feels good when you get a response.

00:08:05.040 Right?

00:08:06.420 Right?

00:08:07.000 It's why we count the likes.

00:08:08.300 It's why we go back 10 times to see if, and if it's going, if my Instagram is growing

00:08:13.120 slower, did I do something wrong?

00:08:15.480 Do they not like me anymore?

00:08:16.400 Right?

00:08:16.900 The trauma for young kids to be unfriended.

00:08:19.800 Right?

00:08:21.000 Because we know when you get it, you get a hit of dopamine, which feels good.

00:08:24.080 It's why we like it.

00:08:24.840 It's why we keep going back to it.

00:08:25.960 But dopamine is the exact same chemical that makes us feel good when we smoke, when we

00:08:30.600 drink, and when we gamble.

00:08:32.940 In other words, it's highly, highly addictive.

00:08:36.880 Right?

00:08:37.940 We have age restrictions on smoking, gambling, and alcohol.

00:08:43.720 And we have no age restrictions on social media and cell phones, which is the equivalent

00:08:47.660 of opening up the liquor cabinet and saying to our teenagers, hey, by the way, this adolescence

00:08:52.040 thing, if it gets you down, but that's basically what's happening.

00:08:57.180 That's basically what's happening.

00:08:58.580 Right?

00:08:58.920 That's basically what's happening.

00:08:59.820 You have an entire generation that has access to an addictive, numbing chemical called dopamine

00:09:05.340 through social media and cell phones as they're going through the high stress of adolescence.

00:09:09.260 Why is this important?

00:09:09.940 Almost every alcoholic discovered alcohol when they were teenagers.

00:09:14.900 When we're very, very young, the only approval we need is the approval of our parents.

00:09:19.180 And as we go through adolescence, we make this transition where we now need the approval

00:09:22.660 of our peers.

00:09:24.440 Very frustrating for our parents.

00:09:26.300 Very important for us.

00:09:27.280 It allows us to acculturate outside of our immediate families into the broader tribe.

00:09:31.080 Right?

00:09:31.700 It's a highly, highly stressful and anxious period of our lives.

00:09:34.760 And we're supposed to learn to rely on our friends.

00:09:39.160 Some people quite by accident discover alcohol and numbing effects of dopamine to help them

00:09:43.700 cope with the stresses and anxieties of adolescence.

00:09:47.860 Unfortunately, that becomes hardwired in their brains.

00:09:50.100 And for the rest of their lives, when they suffer significant stress, they will not turn

00:09:53.600 to a person.

00:09:54.160 They will turn to the bottle.

00:09:56.400 Social stress, financial stress, career stress.

00:09:58.180 That's pretty much the primary reasons why an alcoholic drinks.

00:10:01.480 Right?

00:10:02.260 What's happening is because we're allowing unfettered access to these dopamine-producing devices

00:10:07.180 and media, basically it's becoming hardwired.

00:10:10.120 And what we're seeing is as they grow older, too many kids don't know how to form deep, meaningful

00:10:15.600 relationships.

00:10:17.100 Their words, not mine.

00:10:20.380 Jeffy, say it.

00:10:21.760 Where am I taking that?

00:10:24.160 Go ahead, Glenn.

00:10:25.160 That is exactly, this adds fuel to the fire of my concern about gaming, the way it's being

00:10:36.520 done with virtual reality, and what is coming.

00:10:39.540 It is giving you a full, soon, a full sensory gratification.

00:10:47.340 You will get what you want.

00:10:51.640 No need for any other human.

00:10:53.460 No need for human interaction.

00:10:55.640 And you won't know how to do it.

00:10:57.480 When the VR thing is perfected, it's going to be, it'll be the artificial thing they're

00:11:02.280 looking for.

00:11:02.800 Yes.

00:11:03.100 But it's just that.

00:11:04.040 It's artificial.

00:11:04.320 And so then what happens?

00:11:05.320 How do we not become Japan?

00:11:08.220 Seriously, Japan, they can't get people to breed. 0.98

00:11:10.220 They cannot get people to have sex with one another.

00:11:16.160 Now, I don't know what weird stuff is happening in Japan that stops that, but it's not happening

00:11:23.420 in Japan.

00:11:24.320 And there won't be any Japanese people left, you know, in a hundred years. 1.00

00:11:30.320 Yeah, their replacement rate is, is it negative now?

00:11:34.460 It can't be negative.

00:11:35.320 It's almost zero, but it's, it's certainly, uh, it's at an unhealthy level for sure.

00:11:41.140 Yeah.

00:11:41.480 It's, it's at an extinction rate.

00:11:43.360 Yeah.

00:11:43.560 It's at a point of, past of, uh, point of, past the point of no return.

00:11:47.480 Uh-huh.

00:11:49.320 So when we, now we're encouraging people not to have relationships.

00:11:55.440 Now, Saturday, I heard my son, uh, he was in the kitchen.

00:12:00.480 I was in the kitchen and he was playing, um, I don't know, Minecraft or something.

00:12:04.380 And, and he was playing it with two friends together and they each had boxes up on the,

00:12:11.300 you know, up on the screen.

00:12:12.620 Yep.

00:12:12.880 They were two girls that he was playing them with who are his friends.

00:12:16.880 And I saw normal interaction.

00:12:20.060 I was, I was listening to them while I was working in the kitchen and, and listening to

00:12:24.180 them.

00:12:24.340 And it sounded like absolutely normal interaction.

00:12:27.080 So what's the problem with that?

00:12:28.700 I'm trying to defuse myself from being so phobic about that.

00:12:34.120 He seems to have normal interaction.

00:12:36.380 It's just different.

00:12:37.280 It's just not in person, but he's still looking at them.

00:12:41.960 Yeah.

00:12:42.800 Uh, yeah, I think, I think it's just what is normal interaction changes.

00:12:48.480 It's something we've talked about with going to a concert and you go to a concert and all

00:12:52.660 you see are phones and every, uh, person like me or older says the same thing. 0.90

00:12:57.480 Why don't you experience the freaking show you paid for instead of filming it?

00:13:01.540 But that is how they experienced the show. 0.94

00:13:04.560 They don't experience the show by looking at the show.

00:13:07.800 They experienced the show by holding up their phone and recording it so that they can post

00:13:12.000 it later.

00:13:12.700 That is their experience at a concert.

00:13:14.680 Some artists are starting to push back against that, right?

00:13:16.840 Was it, was it Adele?

00:13:18.240 Was that the concert?

00:13:19.260 Yeah, she hollered. 1.00

00:13:19.660 She's hollered at her audience.

00:13:20.480 Would you put the phone down and just watch the show?

00:13:23.240 Enjoy the show.

00:13:24.020 I would say, you cash the check, I'll watch it any way I want.

00:13:27.280 Sing.

00:13:27.900 Well, I will tell you though, that it happens all the time.

00:13:30.740 When I meet people, we'll go out places.

00:13:33.480 I never, there's one person, if they're in a group, there's one person who I never actually

00:13:38.720 interact with because they're the, you know, usually a parent standing there with a phone

00:13:42.900 and they're only talking to me through the phone or talking to their child through the

00:13:47.440 phone.

00:13:47.900 So we never make eye contact.

00:13:49.540 And I always feel bad because I always feel like they were ripped off.

00:13:52.840 Yeah.

00:13:53.100 They never, they never had that personal connection.

00:13:56.540 They did through the phone.

00:13:58.000 But we'll get to experience it later, Glenn.

00:14:00.740 I know it's weird.

00:14:01.940 It is.

00:14:02.440 It's weird.

00:14:03.440 Now this, last week we talked about the coastal buffers and how they weaken hurricanes at

00:14:08.320 landfall.

00:14:08.880 Now scientists are calling this a lucky phenomena.

00:14:12.960 Scientists are discovering how incredibly prepared mother nature is for dealing with natural disasters.

00:14:19.140 By the way, do you remember, we have to play this, the, what's her name from, in Congress

00:14:25.480 from California that said the Sierra Nevadas soon in like seven years or 10 years, she said

00:14:32.460 this about 10 years ago, won't have snow.

00:14:35.060 Is that Boxer?

00:14:35.920 Yeah.

00:14:36.180 It was Barbara Boxer.

00:14:36.960 We have to find that because they're about to have 20 feet of snow from the last week

00:14:43.080 and a week and a half.

00:14:44.500 They had three, I think three feet drop on them yesterday alone.

00:14:48.340 I will make a stand.

00:14:52.640 I will raise my voice.

00:14:54.620 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:14:57.580 The thing I want.

00:14:59.260 This.

00:15:00.040 This.

00:15:00.860 Is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:15:03.720 Mercury.

00:15:04.320 Individuals and businesses with tax problems, listen carefully.

00:15:08.480 If you owe over $10,000 in back taxes or have unfiled tax returns, we can help you take

00:15:13.500 back control.

00:15:14.160 The IRS is the largest and most aggressive collection agency in the world, and they can

00:15:18.360 seize your bank account, garnish your paycheck, close your business, and file criminal charges.

00:15:23.000 Take control of your tax problems now by calling the experts at Tax Mediation Services at

00:15:27.680 800-600-1645.

00:15:29.920 That's 800-600-1645.

00:15:32.140 800-600-1645.

00:15:37.420 888-727-BECK.

00:15:39.980 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:15:42.600 So we've been listening to Simon Sinek talk about the problem that the millennials face,

00:15:50.660 and really, not by their fault.

00:15:54.160 They were raised with bad parenting strategies that many of us have fought against for a long

00:16:01.900 time, and now we realize, oh, gee, everybody gets a trophy, isn't healthy for society.

00:16:08.000 And so now, how do we get out of this?

00:16:11.960 You want to go to his solution?

00:16:13.160 Yeah.

00:16:13.540 Yeah.

00:16:13.820 Here's his solution.

00:16:15.000 Which leads me to the fourth point, which is environment, which is we're taking this amazing

00:16:19.420 group of young, fantastic kids who had just dealt a bad hand.

00:16:22.960 It's no fault of their own.

00:16:24.280 And we put them in corporate environments that care more about the numbers than they do about

00:16:29.680 the kids.

00:16:30.220 Okay, stop for a second.

00:16:30.980 I'm sorry.

00:16:31.380 It's not a corporation's responsibility to raise children when they're 32 years old, especially.

00:16:38.980 Okay, hold on just a second.

00:16:39.820 Okay, hold on just a second.

00:16:43.340 Because we may be speaking different languages, so let me go there.

00:16:49.260 We're speaking English.

00:16:50.760 You are speaking...

00:16:52.440 I'm learning to speak progressive.

00:16:57.260 I'm learning to speak the language that is being spoken all around us.

00:17:02.720 Yes.

00:17:02.960 So how do you put this in a progressive way?

00:17:05.660 So what he's saying here is, I think you're hearing this in a progressive way.

00:17:11.920 I think if I would rephrase...

00:17:14.020 Especially knowing him.

00:17:14.700 Yes.

00:17:15.020 Yeah, I'm hearing you in a progressive way.

00:17:16.820 So let me now say it this way.

00:17:19.400 First of all, do we generally agree it is their responsibility to fit in the world?

00:17:28.180 The world doesn't shapeshift for you.

00:17:32.840 Right.

00:17:33.040 You have to find your way in.

00:17:35.280 Yes.

00:17:35.580 Right?

00:17:36.060 Yes.

00:17:36.380 So when he says, at no fault of their own, you can say, yes, they didn't...

00:17:42.640 You know, society raised them.

00:17:44.220 Their parents raised them in a certain way.

00:17:47.480 And they were used as guinea pigs to experiment on.

00:17:50.980 Something that we took all eternal principles and threw them out the window and said,

00:17:55.120 hey, being first is just as good as being last.

00:17:59.520 Right?

00:18:00.040 So through that part, no fault of their own.

00:18:03.260 However, once their life starts to fall apart, it is their responsibility.

00:18:08.860 Correct?

00:18:09.920 Yeah.

00:18:10.460 I mean, there's personal responsibility at every step.

00:18:13.420 Every step.

00:18:13.860 Yeah.

00:18:13.960 But when you're a kid and everything in society is training you to go one way, you generally

00:18:19.560 don't say, well, I'm, you know, that doesn't make sense to me.

00:18:22.820 Over your life, you should re-examine those things, of course.

00:18:26.120 But what does it take for you to re-examine your life?

00:18:29.360 It takes a crash.

00:18:30.400 You got to, you got to hit a bottom.

00:18:33.220 Something has to go wrong.

00:18:34.880 Yeah.

00:18:35.140 The most common problem.

00:18:36.000 Right.

00:18:36.260 Yeah.

00:18:36.420 Something has to go wrong. 0.98

00:18:37.760 And it could be just as much that I keep getting these trophies and I feel like crap.

00:18:43.960 I keep getting, I keep getting everything I want and I'm not happy at all. 0.79

00:18:49.560 That's the most likely crash, but that crash will lead to suicide.

00:18:53.780 And that crash is coming with, I mean, yes, he cites some numbers.

00:18:57.620 On suicide?

00:18:58.300 Okay.

00:18:58.780 So that crash is a crash of no self-esteem because nothing has ever given you self-esteem

00:19:06.300 because you've never been taught what self-esteem comes from.

00:19:10.140 And that is accomplishment.

00:19:11.920 Yeah.

00:19:12.160 Okay.

00:19:12.560 Doing something.

00:19:14.220 Even if it is, it's like when, you know, when you go clean your house or when you were

00:19:17.740 a kid and you cleaned your room, you felt good after cleaning your room.

00:19:22.040 Even though you didn't want to, to begin with.

00:19:23.340 Correct.

00:19:23.940 There's something to be said for accomplishment.

00:19:26.260 So now let me show you what he just said, I think, about it's the corporation's responsibility.

00:19:34.480 No, it's not.

00:19:36.420 Well, yes, kind of it is.

00:19:38.620 We'll go there next.

00:19:56.260 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:19:59.360 Hello and welcome to the program.

00:20:01.900 Glad you're here.

00:20:02.900 Talking about millennials, but I think this is going to lead to talk about the border and

00:20:07.160 everything else.

00:20:08.320 All ties in.

00:20:08.920 This is, I was reading something early this morning about a study that was done in the

00:20:14.900 1950s that I'm taking a course now on logic and I'm trying to, I'm trying to learn the

00:20:25.100 fundamentals of logic.

00:20:27.580 And it's an online course.

00:20:29.080 And the first, the last paragraph of this online course is once you start to see how to use

00:20:36.980 logic, warning, you're going to see how it has been unwired and rewired to make false

00:20:48.480 points logical.

00:20:50.300 Well, we've seen that.

00:20:51.220 Right.

00:20:51.400 And without the course.

00:20:53.360 Yeah.

00:20:53.500 And this was, this was done maybe 10 years ago.

00:20:56.140 So this has nothing to do with, with what's, what's, what's recently happening.

00:21:00.300 And he said, the professor said, but you have to make a promise to yourself now.

00:21:06.400 You cannot use that way of logic to win arguments because there's ways that you can rewire it because

00:21:18.580 people are people.

00:21:19.780 I read a story from the 1950s about a really important test on crowds and how they, how

00:21:28.580 you can get people just to go along.

00:21:31.740 And it's, it's fascinating because that's what we were doing.

00:21:35.660 You know, in the 1950s and 60s, we're still trying to figure out Germany.

00:21:39.240 How did Germany scoop up and kill all these people? 0.90

00:21:42.920 You might want to look at Russia too, but how do they do it?

00:21:46.540 Without the people rising up and putting a stop to it.

00:21:49.360 Correct.

00:21:49.780 Now, the same thing I think on a much smaller scale is happening with, with students.

00:21:56.000 And I don't mean, you know, the Holocaust is a smaller scale. 0.70

00:21:58.320 I just mean that a, a, a way to manipulate logic and a way to get people to just go, huh, maybe

00:22:06.500 it's just me is happening.

00:22:10.020 Remember, remember after that, we read the, the headline on Newsweek eight years ago, we're

00:22:17.500 all socialists.

00:22:17.880 We're all socialists now.

00:22:18.640 What was the slogan of the nine 12 project that got us to the mall with half a million

00:22:26.020 people?

00:22:26.880 What was the slogan?

00:22:28.000 You guys remember?

00:22:29.180 We're, we surround them.

00:22:30.680 We surround them.

00:22:31.920 You're not alone.

00:22:34.280 We surround them because people were starting to feel like maybe it's just me.

00:22:38.820 Is it just me?

00:22:41.380 No, no.

00:22:42.940 It's a game of logic.

00:22:44.540 And it is, it's a way to get you to feel this way.

00:22:48.180 And so now all of the students are coming out, all the millennials are coming out and

00:22:53.060 they all feel the same way.

00:22:56.400 Generally speaking, that they, they, they have low self-esteem because they didn't come 1.00

00:23:02.240 in first.

00:23:03.120 They didn't really earn the grade.

00:23:05.160 Mom and dad got them out of this.

00:23:06.940 They've never really had to work hard.

00:23:09.560 They haven't had any real rules because the parenting game has changed and we used our kids

00:23:16.960 as Guinea pigs.

00:23:19.440 So now is it just me?

00:23:22.020 It must, it must just be me.

00:23:23.560 I don't feel good about this and they don't know how to diagnose and there is no critical

00:23:27.700 thinking that has been taught.

00:23:29.320 So they don't know how to find their way out.

00:23:32.120 So Simon Sinek is a friend of the show and has always had really good diagnosis.

00:23:39.220 Don't think his, his solutions are always right, but his solution so far is,

00:23:46.960 okay, so millennials come into the workplace. 1.00

00:23:50.180 It's the workplace that needs to handle this now.

00:23:54.660 They care more about the short-term gains than the long-term life of this young human

00:23:59.400 being.

00:24:00.120 We care more about the year than the lifetime.

00:24:04.340 Of course.

00:24:04.400 It's like saying Apple is supposed to, you know, reach out and take care of each and

00:24:10.640 every employee.

00:24:11.560 Apple is a corporation that sells products and that's their goal.

00:24:15.720 And then they employ people and pay them a really good wage to work there.

00:24:21.620 It is not, it is not a corporation's function to get into the psyche of each and every employee.

00:24:27.940 It's, it might be their function to get the most out of their employees.

00:24:31.420 So like if you can create an environment that doesn't hurt your company, that helps the

00:24:35.900 company because you're getting more out of these employees than you otherwise would,

00:24:39.820 but that's something that makes sense.

00:24:42.120 But it's not your job to make them feel fulfilled in their lives.

00:24:45.580 That's their job.

00:24:45.940 All they care about is the bottom line.

00:24:47.860 Okay.

00:24:48.040 So, so I think we're, I think we're actually saying the same thing, but you're saying it

00:24:54.000 in a way that someone on the left, yes, someone on the left will not understand.

00:25:00.020 They will immediately say, in my company, the number one thing we focus on, the number

00:25:09.680 one thing for me is healthcare.

00:25:13.200 Yeah.

00:25:13.680 I want to make sure that the people who I work with never have to worry about healthcare.

00:25:21.180 But you're not performing the healthcare.

00:25:23.000 You're not, you're not managing the health.

00:25:25.420 I know.

00:25:25.800 Hold on.

00:25:26.080 I'm not arguing with you.

00:25:27.300 I'm, I'm trying to show how I can say the same thing he just said to, um, to a conservative.

00:25:35.000 He's not talking to a, probably a lefty audience.

00:25:39.620 Let me say what he just said, which I believe is not exactly what he meant, but is the right

00:25:48.200 answer.

00:25:49.720 A corporation, its job, because it has shareholders, it has a fiduciary responsibility for all those

00:25:59.020 teachers, all those fire people, all the, all the policemen that have all of their money wrapped

00:26:04.900 up in an IRA or in a mutual fund.

00:26:10.120 It has it wrapped up in those companies.

00:26:13.360 So their first responsibility is to make money for the shareholders.

00:26:19.120 Now, what's the best way, the best way I have found is to, as Simon says, find your why, why

00:26:30.040 are we in existence?

00:26:32.240 If you're in existence just to make money, you're, you, you might make some money, but

00:26:38.320 it won't necessarily be the greatest product.

00:26:41.240 It won't necessarily succeed.

00:26:43.700 But if you're into it because you know, you can make people's lives better.

00:26:51.300 Now you've got something because I know my product, my Apple computer, my Apple iPhone

00:26:58.840 or my iPad.

00:27:00.420 Yes, I'm building iPads and it's my job to build this iPad the best it can be.

00:27:05.160 But why am I building it?

00:27:06.980 I'm building it because I know this will make people's lives easier and better and they're

00:27:11.980 going to love it.

00:27:12.780 And I've listened to them.

00:27:15.320 Okay.

00:27:16.780 Is there anything wrong with that?

00:27:18.020 That sounds like a total capitalist.

00:27:19.720 No.

00:27:20.160 Right.

00:27:20.740 Yeah.

00:27:21.080 But that's not the capitalist.

00:27:22.340 The left thinks we are.

00:27:24.360 Because we start out our conversation.

00:27:26.800 That's not their job.

00:27:27.860 That's not their job.

00:27:29.020 Well, yes, it is.

00:27:30.060 It is.

00:27:30.920 The best capitalism is the one that responds to the invisible hand of the market and the

00:27:37.400 invisible hand of the market will give you what you want.

00:27:40.380 So the best thing you can do as a capitalist is learn who you're serving and then serve

00:27:47.460 them and make their life easier, better.

00:27:50.640 It's really capitalist charity in a way.

00:27:54.980 I make this for a rich person.

00:27:59.300 Within five years, everyone's going to have this tablet on the planet.

00:28:04.400 And so everyone will have it.

00:28:06.340 And I'll be able to change the lives in Africa because we were a success.

00:28:10.440 Now let's go to the employees.

00:28:14.200 Employees, we've all worked for companies where you were number 1174 and nobody cared.

00:28:19.440 Right?

00:28:19.940 We hate that.

00:28:21.780 All of us do.

00:28:23.060 Left and right.

00:28:24.140 We hate that.

00:28:26.140 Why?

00:28:27.480 It's not because they're sitting down and going, oh, Stu, you're the best guy ever.

00:28:33.600 You didn't want that.

00:28:34.540 What you wanted was to do something of meaning and do it well with a bunch of people who have

00:28:43.640 the same kind of spirit.

00:28:45.220 Isn't that what you want?

00:28:46.400 Sure.

00:28:47.140 Right.

00:28:47.460 I mean, that's a big part of it.

00:28:48.600 You want to be paid a fair wage and treated with respect.

00:28:54.160 You want to also, you could even, I would make the case, you'll even take a pay cut if

00:28:59.480 it's a great place to work.

00:29:02.000 So you'll work for less than you could work someplace else.

00:29:06.560 I mean, not great, not great disparity, but you'll work less if this place is just the

00:29:11.260 best and you feel like you're accomplishing something.

00:29:14.280 And the corporation shows that, yes, Stu, you're important to me.

00:29:20.680 And you know what?

00:29:21.800 You have worries in your life.

00:29:24.280 I, because of the work you guys do, I can make sure that we provide the best health care

00:29:30.700 for you.

00:29:31.080 And that is the most meaningful thing I can do as a company is take away all of your worries

00:29:36.720 about you get cancer.

00:29:38.140 You have to have your teeth done.

00:29:40.040 You have to go to the doctor, your daughter, your son, all of a sudden gets cancer.

00:29:44.500 I don't want you to worry about any of it.

00:29:48.480 Just concentrate on what you're doing here.

00:29:51.180 I don't want you to worry about, don't worry about where you're going to get your lunch.

00:29:55.220 Don't worry about that.

00:29:56.340 We got a chef here.

00:29:57.260 We're going to take care of lunch for you.

00:29:59.720 You come in and I know we don't do that because we don't have the money, but let's have,

00:30:04.220 let's, you know, what Google does.

00:30:06.500 Okay.

00:30:07.220 And that's great.

00:30:08.120 Good capitalism.

00:30:09.680 Yeah.

00:30:09.820 I think the line there though, and I think it's what he said, which is why I reacted

00:30:13.480 that way, is I think it is part of the company's responsibility to try to make an employee fulfilled

00:30:19.840 in their work life.

00:30:21.040 That's part of it because you want them to be happy and interested and productive.

00:30:25.880 Yes.

00:30:26.060 That's all part of it.

00:30:27.020 He said, he referenced their life.

00:30:30.220 It is not a company's responsibility to fulfill your life.

00:30:36.280 No, because I think.

00:30:37.220 And that is, I feel like a weird target that we're setting that is not, that's not what

00:30:40.780 I should.

00:30:40.920 And I could, see, again, the idea here of why we're talking about this and the way we're

00:30:47.120 moving as a show is let's learn how to talk to one another.

00:30:52.100 And I really think it's why I can have friends, Simon and I have a perfectly wonderful time

00:30:58.460 speaking to one another.

00:30:59.900 Okay.

00:31:00.480 There are things that I don't say to Simon, Simon, and there are things that I wait to

00:31:04.640 say to Simon.

00:31:05.440 Okay.

00:31:06.180 Because Simon is a guy who lives in New York city, surrounded by people who think like

00:31:11.880 him.

00:31:12.340 And so when he comes down here, he's suddenly surrounded by people who don't think like 0.99

00:31:17.040 him.

00:31:17.400 And he, I don't think he realizes that he's in the normalcy bias.

00:31:21.680 He's, he's looking for something normal here.

00:31:23.960 Well, this is normal for at least half the country.

00:31:27.460 You just don't know that.

00:31:29.360 And so you come in and you're like, well, no, no, listen guys, you got this all wrong.

00:31:32.820 No, I have my language wrong for your set. 1.00

00:31:37.020 You have your language wrong for my half. 0.99

00:31:39.960 So how do we talk to each other by arguing what he just said, unless he gets to the point

00:31:49.280 to where he is saying something different, but we can make the same point and win the

00:31:56.940 argument.

00:31:57.380 If we don't argue that it is a company's, it's not a company's job to affect people's

00:32:03.820 lives, because I think our case is so strong.

00:32:08.900 You don't have to say that.

00:32:11.160 It is in our best interest to care about our employees.

00:32:16.180 It is in our best interest to do these things.

00:32:19.020 It's not a problem at all.

00:32:19.600 Not a problem.

00:32:20.460 It's, it's, it's probably for either side, right?

00:32:22.920 Right.

00:32:23.520 Either side.

00:32:24.180 Right.

00:32:24.840 But what happens is we'll get into this argument and we'll get bogged down in this 5% that might 0.53

00:32:33.020 believe, no, corporations should actually be owned by the state because that's why you're

00:32:37.560 so evil.

00:32:38.500 That's maybe five or 10% of the population.

00:32:40.620 Listen, everybody else lives in that reasonable zone, but they're not hearing that from us.

00:32:49.980 When Samantha, when Samantha Bee was down here, she was shocked.

00:32:54.240 She ended up crying in the interview.

00:32:56.860 You didn't see it.

00:32:58.380 I'd love to, I'd love to take the raw tape of that interview and edit it myself so I could

00:33:04.980 show you who she really is.

00:33:07.740 She edited it to show me who I was, but you just saw her snarky comments during that interview.

00:33:17.300 If I could edit, I would show you who she is.

00:33:20.820 Her heart is huge.

00:33:23.400 She just had never met a conservative who also believes the same thing that she believes

00:33:31.120 about let's rescue the refugees.

00:33:33.720 Let's, let's take the refugees who are being sought by ISIS, et cetera, et cetera.

00:33:37.100 I think your point is she actually has thousands of times.

00:33:39.560 She just didn't realize it because people are speaking a different language.

00:33:42.040 Correct.

00:33:42.940 She just is surrounded by people like her who are being told or telling her all the time

00:33:48.180 and constantly we're reinforcing by our language that that's not important.

00:33:53.240 And our listeners see her show and think she's a liar because of the way she treats conservatives 1.00

00:33:58.300 during the rest of the show.

00:34:00.040 She doesn't, I don't think she knows it.

00:34:01.540 And she, I, yeah, I don't, she's not thinking of things like, she's still trying to entertain

00:34:06.500 as we have been doing.

00:34:08.000 But she's also surrounded by, um, in the New York attitude.

00:34:14.040 Yeah.

00:34:14.300 So she's surrounded by we're right, they're wrong.

00:34:17.260 And yet she told me in their interview, I've never met an American I don't like.

00:34:21.480 She just needs to understand we're right and she's wrong.

00:34:24.360 Then we're set.

00:34:25.800 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:34:34.260 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:34:36.360 These are great.

00:34:37.420 We have some really great phone calls on this.

00:34:39.900 We're going to get to it.

00:34:40.460 It's top of the hour.

00:34:41.340 As we talk about millennials, I will tell you that I don't think all millennials, it's really

00:34:47.220 unfair to put people in a group and say all millennials are this way.

00:34:50.780 As I was looking around the room at the camera people and, uh, and all the people that do

00:34:55.280 this show, most of them aren't like that.

00:34:57.020 They're not, they're, they're not the, you know, give it to me lazy.

00:35:01.080 I don't know.

00:35:01.760 I have it coming to me.

00:35:02.820 I don't know anybody here.

00:35:04.200 That's like that besides Stu and Jeff, I disagree on that one.

00:35:08.400 And he's certainly, but I mean, the only thing millennial about him is he's been alive for

00:35:12.000 a millennial, millennials, I think, want to make a difference and they may not know even

00:35:21.600 why they want to make a difference.

00:35:22.780 It's because they instinctively know I haven't earned anything yet in my life.

00:36:25.100 Hello, America.

00:36:26.300 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:36:27.600 We want to talk a little bit about the now possibly brewing scandal of George Michael.

00:36:33.280 This weird timeline and excuse from his boyfriend on what happened that night doesn't seem to

00:36:43.500 be adding up.

00:36:44.840 We'll talk about that coming up in a minute.

00:36:46.640 Also, we've been playing some audio from a guy named Simon Sinek, who is Find Your Why.

00:36:54.020 And he is the best.

00:36:55.400 I think he has pinpointed the problem that millennials face more or better than anybody else.

00:37:03.120 However, not sure about his solutions on that.

00:37:07.180 We'll talk about millennials.

00:37:08.540 And we wanted to bring in another friend, Roger Love.

00:37:13.000 Right now, everybody is learning how to text, how to do everything virtually.

00:37:20.580 No one is learning how to interact one-on-one.

00:37:23.900 No one is learning how to speak and speak publicly.

00:37:31.040 Roger Love is an amazing expert.

00:37:33.620 I want to introduce you to him right now.

00:37:36.680 I will make a stand.

00:37:39.340 I will raise my voice.

00:37:41.620 I will hold your hand.

00:37:44.040 Because we are one.

00:37:45.880 I will beat my drum.

00:37:48.080 I have made my choice.

00:37:50.340 We will overcome.

00:37:51.740 No, because we are one.

00:37:54.540 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:37:58.380 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:38:03.840 Welcome to the program.

00:38:04.920 Roger Love, author of a new book, Set Your Voice Free.

00:38:08.660 Roger, are you there?

00:38:11.000 I am here and happy to be here.

00:38:12.820 Will you do me a favor and just tell me quickly the story.

00:38:15.660 I think it's of Walk the Line, where the two actors, Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon,

00:38:26.100 really were having a hard time.

00:38:27.980 And there were six weeks left.

00:38:29.800 And they walked into your office.

00:38:31.420 Can you talk about that at all?

00:38:33.080 Absolutely.

00:38:33.500 The story starts with neither of them knowing when they accepted the roles to star in Walk the Line,

00:38:42.140 to play Johnny Cash and to play June Karakash, that they were actually going to have to sing.

00:38:46.860 Because neither of them think of themselves at that point in time as singers.

00:38:51.320 So I get the call from Reese, and the two of them together have to record about 30-some-odd parts of songs.

00:39:00.060 And so I start working every day.

00:39:02.720 And trying to make Joaquin sing like the iconic Johnny Cash is no easy feat.

00:39:10.840 But thank gosh, he is an amazing actor.

00:39:14.320 And the discipline that both of them had to go from working with me and starting as not really singers to doing an incredible job in the film,

00:39:25.460 I look at that as being one of the greatest collaborations in my life, something that I'm very, very proud of.

00:39:34.380 Because the result was that she won an Academy Award for a singing role, and he won multiple awards for a singing role.

00:39:42.060 And where we started three or four weeks earlier was not very much great singing.

00:39:47.560 It was really, seriously, it was three weeks working with you?

00:39:50.640 Three weeks? About every day for a few hours.

00:39:54.220 Holy cow. 0.89

00:39:55.220 Believe me, I wish some of these pictures that I do, like Crazy Heart or Beginning It, I wish they would give me more time.

00:40:01.180 But quite often I'm thrown in at the last minute to say,

00:40:04.860 Hey, Raj, can you make this person who's not really a singer sound incredible?

00:40:09.220 So let me ask you this question.

00:40:11.040 Over the weekend, I sat down with one of my daughters and I said, let's draw mountains together.

00:40:16.620 Let's just draw, you know, some things that, you know, let me show you a picture.

00:40:20.840 And she said, Dad, I don't have any talent at all.

00:40:23.260 And I said, yeah, you can draw.

00:40:26.220 And she said, no, I can't.

00:40:27.320 The gene didn't pass to me.

00:40:28.980 And I said, yes, it did.

00:40:30.960 We're not talking about genes.

00:40:32.740 Just paint what you see.

00:40:33.720 And so, or just draw what you see.

00:40:35.540 So she drew, and it was very simple mountains and looked like a kid's drawing.

00:40:42.760 Then I went back and I said, honey, just draw with me now.

00:40:49.020 See this part over here?

00:40:50.800 See, it looks like this.

00:40:51.740 And here's how you can do it.

00:40:52.900 Her painting, or her, you know, oil thing, you know, her sketch.

00:41:00.360 Yeah, her masterpiece.

00:41:01.420 It went from, you know, third grade to 12th grade.

00:41:07.800 Just by seeing the technique.

00:41:11.120 And I contend that 80% of, you know, an artist is just learning how to do it.

00:41:18.780 That 20% is what makes you a star.

00:41:21.320 But everybody can pretty much do what they don't think they can do.

00:41:24.900 Is the same with singing or not?

00:41:27.120 Yes.

00:41:27.620 We think that we are born with a particular voice.

00:41:31.200 Singing, speaking.

00:41:32.940 All of a sudden, if we're singing happy birthday,

00:41:35.000 and we sound better than everybody else, and we get the first piece of cake,

00:41:38.600 we think we were born with talent.

00:41:40.120 Or if we have this nasal voice or really soft or aggravated,

00:41:45.900 some kind of a weird voice, we think we're stuck with it

00:41:48.840 because that's the sound that is coming out of the mouth.

00:41:52.020 But I've spent my life showing people how simple it is

00:41:55.740 to take what you like about your voice

00:41:58.840 and what you don't like about your voice

00:42:01.960 and add a little bit of technique and then sound like however you want.

00:42:07.360 So even a singer who is born with an amazing ability that Mother Nature gave them,

00:42:13.080 if they don't work on their voice,

00:42:15.180 if they don't decide,

00:42:16.180 I want to sing,

00:42:17.640 I love to sing,

00:42:19.120 then they never become great.

00:42:21.520 And those people that were maybe born with a little less from Mother Nature,

00:42:25.640 if they work a little harder and have that technique,

00:42:29.680 they can oftentimes end up sounding better than the people that were born with a gift.

00:42:35.280 All right.

00:42:35.520 So let me take it one more step.

00:42:38.960 We were talking about millennials

00:42:40.400 and how nobody is learning how to talk to each other.

00:42:45.360 Right.

00:42:46.000 You know, everything is virtual.

00:42:47.760 Certainly, nobody is learning how to stand up in front of a crowd and speak.

00:42:55.480 Your book talks about that as well.

00:42:58.580 What's the difference?

00:43:00.520 The difference is, and this is crazy,

00:43:03.480 can you imagine in the world that we're living in right now

00:43:05.900 that the number one fear in America is still speaking in public?

00:43:11.520 What an amazing world we must live in

00:43:15.780 if everyone is the most worried about speaking in public.

00:43:19.480 And what I realized after about 17 years of just working with famous singers

00:43:24.520 was that there was no difference between singing and speaking

00:43:29.240 and that I could take someone's speaking voice

00:43:32.040 and add a musicality to it

00:43:34.620 and have it sound incredible.

00:43:37.660 And those sounds would move people emotionally

00:43:40.160 when they heard someone speak.

00:43:42.480 And once you have those kind of sounds come out of your mouth

00:43:46.400 and you realize that you have influence over people,

00:43:49.580 that when you open your mouth,

00:43:50.840 it's like you're singing someone's favorite song

00:43:53.240 and all you're doing is speaking,

00:43:55.320 you lose a lot of stage fright.

00:43:58.940 You lose a lot of fear of speaking in public.

00:44:01.500 Start to like it.

00:44:02.340 Because you end up liking the sound of your own voice

00:44:04.660 and you can't wait to show it off.

00:44:06.340 I know that my son had to speak in church

00:44:08.720 and so I worked with him on his talk

00:44:14.040 and I had him go find a joke that he wanted to tell at the beginning,

00:44:18.460 you know, some sort of deal.

00:44:19.480 And I worked with him on the joke.

00:44:20.860 We practiced and practiced and practiced.

00:44:22.460 And I knew the minute he got that instant reaction

00:44:26.840 that was positive back,

00:44:29.460 if he could just do that one thing right

00:44:31.500 and really pull that off,

00:44:33.460 he would like to speak.

00:44:34.600 He is terrified of speaking.

00:44:37.460 Now, I could put him anywhere

00:44:39.600 and he'd get up and start talking.

00:44:41.320 So, I love that story.

00:44:43.120 If I go to a restaurant or you go to a restaurant

00:44:45.420 and you don't think you're funny

00:44:46.900 and you tell a joke and everyone laughs,

00:44:49.360 then the next time you're having dinner

00:44:50.880 the following week at a restaurant,

00:44:52.780 maybe you'll bring out that same joke,

00:44:54.300 maybe another one.

00:44:55.220 And if they laugh,

00:44:56.480 by the next time you're at a restaurant,

00:44:58.240 you think that you're the funniest person at the table.

00:45:02.020 So, you can't wait to be funny

00:45:04.840 because you see how people react to you.

00:45:08.020 And that's what I help people do just with speaking,

00:45:10.660 to create sounds that people react to positively

00:45:14.260 so that you can't wait to communicate,

00:45:16.440 whether you're speaking to one person

00:45:18.040 or whether you're speaking to a thousand people.

00:45:19.960 Okay, Todd, I have to be honest with the audience.

00:45:21.680 The reason why Roger is on

00:45:23.200 is because I believe in his work so much

00:45:27.600 because I am a client of Roger's.

00:45:30.620 He has brought me to a place to where,

00:45:33.620 you know, I was in what the doctors would say

00:45:35.940 is full vocal cord paralysis.

00:45:38.780 And he has brought me out of that

00:45:41.040 and helped me retain my voice.

00:45:44.420 You have brought me from not being able to say a word

00:45:48.540 to being able to speak with my regular voice

00:45:51.460 within 20 minutes.

00:45:52.300 And everybody I tell says that's not possible.

00:45:56.800 Well, that is a joy that I could be a part of that

00:46:00.240 and be a part of your family.

00:46:01.920 So, thank you for that opportunity.

00:46:03.360 The thing is, is that for years,

00:46:05.580 I've been saying that the sounds you make

00:46:08.380 are either making you healthy and happy

00:46:11.060 or they're making you unhealthy and unhappy.

00:46:14.420 So, how do you teach this in a book, Roger?

00:46:16.900 Because it's not just a book.

00:46:18.760 It's a book that goes along with a website

00:46:21.300 that has 75 audio samples

00:46:25.800 and everything that I talk about in the book.

00:46:28.860 You also have me making the sounds

00:46:32.940 and then you're singing along with me

00:46:35.020 and speaking along with me.

00:46:36.300 What you did for me and you made those little tapes for me,

00:46:40.280 you've just used me as a guinea pig for your book.

00:46:44.800 So, it's basically the same thing that you've done for me.

00:46:48.100 Exactly right.

00:46:49.860 The same thing that I've done for you

00:46:51.360 and for singers like John Mayer

00:46:54.860 and Selena Gomez this past year

00:46:58.320 and speakers like Anthony Robbins and Susie Orman.

00:47:02.920 Anyone that's having an issue with their voice

00:47:05.080 and that I've realized that I could help them

00:47:09.560 with a little bit of technique

00:47:10.540 that would make their voice healthy

00:47:12.920 and then make it a lot more fun to use

00:47:14.800 and a lot more fun to listen to.

00:47:15.820 I tried to explain what you do to a friend of mine

00:47:18.360 who came up for Christmas.

00:47:20.860 His name is David Osmond.

00:47:23.100 I'm sure you recognize the name.

00:47:25.340 Is David on the phone?

00:47:27.080 Is David on the phone?

00:47:30.500 Can you hear me?

00:47:31.260 Yeah, David, are you there?

00:47:33.140 I'm here. Can you hear me?

00:47:34.140 Yeah, I can.

00:47:35.360 David, meet Roger.

00:47:36.300 Roger, meet David.

00:47:37.300 Good morning, David.

00:47:38.520 The man, the legend, the myth.

00:47:40.180 Yeah.

00:47:40.460 Roger.

00:47:40.800 So I asked David to come on

00:47:46.340 because I could not explain to him what you do.

00:47:49.260 David, explain your situation.

00:47:52.080 Well, I've been performing my entire life,

00:47:54.320 singing from so many different walks of life

00:47:57.860 as far as music goes and continuing to do that.

00:48:01.360 And now that I'm hosting TV shows

00:48:03.440 and have a new big band going,

00:48:06.260 music and voice is constant.

00:48:08.820 And I noticed something was up this last fall.

00:48:12.700 I could just feel something in my voice

00:48:14.600 because I'm so connected to it.

00:48:16.440 And I approached my Uncle Donnie,

00:48:18.660 who had had some vocal challenges

00:48:20.800 over the last couple of years.

00:48:21.820 He said, hey, check out this guy.

00:48:23.800 Maybe you should go just get it looked at

00:48:25.320 and see what's going on.

00:48:26.620 Sure enough, found on the left side of my vocal fold,

00:48:30.400 this sizable polyp that is just right on the underside

00:48:34.100 and had vocal surgery just to get that removed

00:48:37.640 after different assessments

00:48:40.360 and figuring out what I need to do.

00:48:42.200 So I literally, about a month ago,

00:48:44.540 had vocal surgery to get that removed.

00:48:47.000 And it is scary having to go down there

00:48:50.040 and have this surgery procedure done

00:48:51.980 knowing that this is my lifeblood.

00:48:54.640 This is what I do.

00:48:55.660 And they didn't know for sure

00:48:56.860 if you'd ever be able to sing again.

00:48:58.320 So I said to him, you've got to talk to Roger Love,

00:49:02.060 not for a, you know, not for a, you know,

00:49:05.700 physical stuff, but to, to, he,

00:49:08.920 I don't know how you do it, Roger,

00:49:10.420 but you can hear it in somebody's voice

00:49:13.100 when they sing.

00:49:14.940 Let's tell the audience.

00:49:16.080 And I'm honestly just talking again this week,

00:49:19.500 this last week, because I was silent for the last month.

00:49:22.840 Right.

00:49:23.280 Complete vocal rest.

00:49:24.740 Man, thank you for sharing that.

00:49:26.320 Let me tell the listeners that,

00:49:28.320 that so that they understand a little bit what that is.

00:49:30.200 If you're a guitar player

00:49:31.560 and you're always playing the guitar

00:49:34.340 and you're rubbing your fingers against the strings.

00:49:37.340 Hang on, David.

00:49:38.300 Go ahead, Roger.

00:49:39.340 What happens if you're a guitar player

00:49:40.780 and you're rubbing your,

00:49:41.660 your fingers against the strings

00:49:43.120 and you play a lot,

00:49:44.100 you basically start to develop like calluses on your fingers

00:49:47.800 so that the body thinks it's protecting you

00:49:50.920 so that it doesn't rub off your, your fingers

00:49:53.360 and you don't get all the money.

00:49:54.520 So it's normal guitar players.

00:49:56.700 But what most people don't understand is

00:49:58.760 this happens all the time to singers.

00:50:01.600 And if you're singing a lot

00:50:03.400 or if you're doing any kind of straining

00:50:04.840 or you're singing hard songs

00:50:06.260 or even if you're speaking in a way

00:50:08.500 that creates a little bit of pressure on the vocal cords,

00:50:11.040 the body can create these little lesions,

00:50:13.760 these little growths on the vocal cords

00:50:15.680 thinking it's protecting you.

00:50:18.120 But it's actually destroying the, the voice.

00:50:20.560 Roger, I'm going to take a quick break.

00:50:22.100 I see if we can fix this technically

00:50:24.340 because he can't hear you,

00:50:25.580 but I had to put you two together

00:50:26.780 because David is,

00:50:29.840 I just think David is one,

00:50:30.900 is just remarkable and a really nice guy.

00:50:33.240 You are remarkable and a really nice guy.

00:50:34.840 And I had to get you two together.

00:50:36.460 If you want to learn from the guy

00:50:39.760 who literally everybody who's anybody

00:50:42.040 he has worked with,

00:50:43.500 how to speak, how to sing.

00:50:45.260 His name is Roger Love.

00:50:47.000 He's got a new book out called

00:50:49.260 Set Your Voice Free,

00:50:51.120 how to get the singing or speaking voice that you want.

00:50:55.760 I work with him and have for years.

00:50:58.440 He's truly remarkable.

00:51:00.080 Roger Love, Set Your Voice Free,

00:51:48.780 Yo, hello.

00:51:49.820 Welcome to the program.

00:51:50.720 Sorry.

00:51:51.580 Got busy.

00:51:54.100 I couldn't get the phones to work

00:51:56.000 the way they were supposed to work.

00:51:57.320 My apologies to David and Roger.

00:51:59.080 But now they're on the phone with each other,

00:52:00.640 and they're actually going to talk to each other,

00:52:02.100 and that's the important thing.

00:52:05.020 And the name of the book is

00:52:06.200 Set Your Voice Free by Roger Love.

00:52:08.640 And, you know, I sat there with David Osman,

00:52:13.580 and he just looked at me and, you know,

00:52:16.740 just quietly said, scary.

00:52:20.060 It's really scary to think I'll never sing again.

00:52:24.440 You know, and he has MS, 0.99

00:52:26.380 and has been, he's had a really, really tough year.

00:52:30.760 So, his MS flares up.

00:52:34.700 He gets a polyp on his vocal cords.

00:52:38.520 He's got a new wife and family.

00:52:41.560 You know, it's not the, I mean, 0.99

00:52:42.480 they're busting, he's busting his butt 0.98

00:52:44.260 to make ends meet. 0.99

00:52:45.840 He's got a new wife? 0.98

00:52:47.360 He traded in the old one?

00:52:48.400 Yeah, he traded, yeah, upgraded, yeah.

00:52:49.920 Yeah.

00:52:50.460 She was getting some high miles on it.

00:52:51.900 No, she's, you know, but it's a young thing.

00:52:54.000 You know, they've been married, what,

00:52:54.860 seven years or so.

00:52:56.000 Yeah.

00:52:56.940 Yesterday, can you believe this?

00:52:59.740 17th anniversary for my wife and I.

00:53:02.260 Wow.

00:53:02.920 Congratulations.

00:53:04.100 17 years has gone by so fast.

00:53:09.520 That's crazy.

00:53:10.760 It has gone by fast.

00:53:12.020 That is crazy.

00:53:12.480 I mean, that would have been a bet to take

00:53:14.620 if she was going to stick around this long.

00:53:16.600 I mean, what are the odds you'd have got on that?

00:53:18.580 20, 30 to one?

00:53:20.580 You would have been very wealthy.

00:53:22.320 Yeah, very wealthy.

00:53:23.080 Very wealthy.

00:53:23.900 What about the next 25 years?

00:53:25.420 The next 20 years?

00:53:27.080 I'd still take it.

00:53:27.980 I still think it's why it's funny.

00:53:29.280 I mean, you did the Goldline spot.

00:53:30.780 At some point, she's got to pull,

00:53:32.140 you're saying she's going to pull the chute.

00:53:33.760 I think even Goldline would say

00:53:34.880 even that's a better investment.

00:53:39.640 Thank you for that.

00:53:40.420 You're welcome.

00:53:40.920 Thank you for that.

00:53:42.100 So let me go back to the millennial conversation

00:53:44.800 that we were having.

00:53:45.580 And that is millennials 0.95

00:53:48.420 are walking into their job,

00:53:56.240 many of them,

00:53:58.680 with very low self-esteem

00:54:00.320 and safe zones

00:54:03.160 and never been challenged

00:54:05.020 and told they'll never be hurt.

00:54:07.440 All lies.

00:54:09.100 All of those things lies.

00:54:11.200 Thinking that it's just going to be easy,

00:54:12.940 you get the trophy.

00:54:13.820 They're walking in with low self-esteem

00:54:16.320 because they got the trophy

00:54:18.420 and they know they didn't deserve the trophy.

00:54:21.620 You're not so special.

00:54:24.000 There's just, you know,

00:54:25.520 billions of people

00:54:26.640 alive today,

00:54:28.500 more tomorrow,

00:54:29.680 and have come before you

00:54:31.400 that were pretty special.

00:54:33.380 You?

00:54:34.260 No.

00:54:35.160 It's what you do

00:54:36.320 that's going to make you special.

00:54:38.500 Make you stand out.

00:54:40.820 Let's go to Josh in Indiana.

00:54:42.800 Go ahead, Josh.

00:54:46.500 Hey, thanks for taking my call.

00:54:47.960 You bet.

00:54:48.300 You're a millennial?

00:54:50.040 Yeah, I'm 24 years old.

00:54:51.780 Okay.

00:54:53.720 So thanks for taking my call.

00:54:55.420 You know,

00:54:56.220 I was, to a certain degree,

00:54:58.300 coddled

00:54:58.640 and didn't really know it at the time.

00:55:01.560 And, you know,

00:55:02.500 my parents are doing their best,

00:55:03.760 but, you know,

00:55:05.460 I think a lot of it

00:55:06.960 was just the afraid of real life.

00:55:09.220 So it started off,

00:55:10.120 you know,

00:55:11.360 I'm sober

00:55:12.600 three,

00:55:13.400 almost four years now.

00:55:14.600 So I did drugs,

00:55:15.460 failed out of college,

00:55:16.380 moved back home,

00:55:17.280 did the whole millennial thing.

00:55:18.660 But, you know,

00:55:19.540 I finally woke up

00:55:20.520 and I'm a long-time listener

00:55:21.640 of your program

00:55:22.400 and I had to learn

00:55:23.700 a lot of lessons the hard way.

00:55:25.240 But I think what,

00:55:26.820 you know,

00:55:27.860 millennials need 0.97

00:55:28.480 is we need strong

00:55:29.160 American values.

00:55:30.360 Hold on, Josh.

00:55:31.420 Hold on,

00:55:31.780 because I want to delve

00:55:32.840 into your story

00:55:33.560 just a little bit more.

00:55:34.440 Back in a minute.

00:55:40.260 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:55:43.640 Mercury.

00:55:48.200 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:55:50.320 Sign up for the newsletter

00:55:51.360 and get all the info

00:55:52.260 you need to know

00:55:53.060 at glennbeck.com.

00:55:54.620 Let's go back to Indiana

00:55:55.800 and Josh,

00:55:56.380 who's a millennial.

00:55:57.300 You're how old?

00:55:58.040 25?

00:55:59.020 Josh?

00:56:00.420 Hey, still here.

00:56:01.200 Yeah, are you 25?

00:56:03.520 24.

00:56:04.320 24.

00:56:05.120 And you were raised

00:56:07.480 like pretty much

00:56:08.120 everybody else was raised.

00:56:09.360 You know,

00:56:09.620 you're special

00:56:10.220 and here's your trophy

00:56:11.820 and everything else.

00:56:12.980 And then you said

00:56:14.280 that caused a breakdown

00:56:15.760 and you started

00:56:16.440 into alcohol and drugs.

00:56:18.220 Well, yeah,

00:56:20.140 the thing about it

00:56:20.860 is I was listening

00:56:21.760 to you guys

00:56:22.280 while I've been holding

00:56:23.500 is, you know,

00:56:24.760 a lot of the generation

00:56:25.880 of the millennials,

00:56:26.940 we are looking for our why

00:56:28.020 and our purpose

00:56:28.640 and, you know,

00:56:29.740 high school,

00:56:30.640 that's not real life

00:56:31.560 and college

00:56:32.140 and, you know,

00:56:33.000 that's also not real life

00:56:34.380 and so it takes,

00:56:35.500 took me a lot of time

00:56:36.540 to sort out

00:56:37.060 what's reality

00:56:37.840 and what's not reality.

00:56:38.900 What do you mean by that?

00:56:41.520 That it's not real life?

00:56:44.280 Well, you know,

00:56:45.040 in high school,

00:56:46.000 it's, you know,

00:56:47.100 it's a whole different system

00:56:48.200 and in college,

00:56:49.220 you know,

00:56:49.340 it's a whole different system

00:56:50.120 and then you get out

00:56:50.960 in the real world

00:56:51.740 and you start paying bills

00:56:53.460 and you can't necessarily

00:56:54.840 stay until 2 a.m.

00:56:55.960 on the weekends

00:56:56.600 and party

00:56:58.120 and live that kind of lifestyle

00:56:59.360 and so for me,

00:57:00.180 I got into drugs

00:57:01.560 and alcohol 0.51

00:57:02.040 at a young age

00:57:03.040 through that

00:57:03.800 and it really took me,

00:57:06.540 oh, go ahead.

00:57:07.520 So then what turned you around?

00:57:08.900 Because we were talking

00:57:09.620 about this that

00:57:10.260 I don't believe that

00:57:12.320 and this is a real,

00:57:13.940 a broad generalization.

00:57:15.640 Of course,

00:57:16.000 there will be

00:57:16.940 exceptions to every rule

00:57:18.380 but generally speaking,

00:57:20.460 people don't make a change

00:57:21.640 in their life

00:57:22.380 until there's a problem

00:57:24.880 and, you know,

00:57:26.780 the millennials

00:57:27.420 are walking into the world

00:57:30.160 with the lowest self-esteem

00:57:32.600 of any generation ever

00:57:35.880 and it's because

00:57:37.520 they realize

00:57:38.500 or kind of a fraud.

00:57:39.720 We didn't actually

00:57:40.380 earn these trophies.

00:57:42.020 We didn't have to

00:57:42.580 really work for it

00:57:43.560 and so they are looking

00:57:45.080 for something meaningful

00:57:46.180 in their life.

00:57:47.800 What was the,

00:57:49.120 what was the turning point

00:57:52.080 for you

00:57:52.580 and how did you grab

00:57:54.320 a hold of your life?

00:57:56.760 Sure, yeah.

00:57:57.460 For me,

00:57:58.000 it was, you know,

00:57:59.000 hitting rock bottom,

00:58:00.040 getting kicked out

00:58:00.800 of my parents' house

00:58:02.400 and having to make it

00:58:04.160 on my own

00:58:04.720 but it's tough love.

00:58:07.980 That's what Americans

00:58:09.840 need to provide

00:58:12.040 for the millennials

00:58:12.740 whether it's the parents

00:58:13.720 or the corporations,

00:58:14.920 you know,

00:58:15.120 it's a good shakedown

00:58:17.160 and for me,

00:58:17.900 I had to fall back

00:58:18.880 on good values,

00:58:21.200 American values

00:58:21.860 from my parents

00:58:22.600 that they tried

00:58:23.720 to teach me

00:58:24.400 but I had to basically

00:58:25.420 reject a lot of the,

00:58:27.980 a lot of the stuff

00:58:28.720 you hear in college

00:58:29.460 or a lot of stuff

00:58:29.980 you hear in high school

00:58:30.860 and so your parents

00:58:32.880 finally said,

00:58:34.080 okay, you've been here

00:58:34.560 long enough,

00:58:35.020 you need to go.

00:58:36.720 Yeah.

00:58:37.160 And, and,

00:58:37.720 and where'd you go?

00:58:40.260 Well, I moved out

00:58:41.280 into a halfway house myself.

00:58:42.840 Did you really?

00:58:43.620 Had to stay,

00:58:44.160 yeah, had to stay sober,

00:58:45.500 go to AA meetings,

00:58:47.020 get a job at Waffle House,

00:58:48.400 get a job at Wendy's,

00:58:49.820 pay my own bills.

00:58:52.140 That's a lot of living

00:58:52.860 by 24 years old here.

00:58:54.240 Yeah, that's,

00:58:54.920 you've been through some stuff.

00:58:56.020 Good for you.

00:58:56.800 So are you,

00:58:57.500 are you,

00:58:57.980 are you making it now

00:58:59.200 or are you doing well?

00:59:00.860 I am,

00:59:01.360 I'm,

00:59:01.540 I'm in school full time.

00:59:03.080 I hold a full time job myself,

00:59:05.380 self-employed

00:59:06.180 and looking to get my degree here

00:59:09.240 and get a job

00:59:09.940 in the healthcare field.

00:59:11.120 And good luck with that.

00:59:12.320 And what is,

00:59:13.880 what is,

00:59:15.440 how's your self-esteem?

00:59:18.800 You know,

00:59:19.520 I had to find my own purpose

00:59:21.200 and it's a lot better now,

00:59:23.740 you know,

00:59:24.140 now that I'm sober

00:59:24.920 and not have

00:59:26.540 cloudy judgment anymore.

00:59:27.880 But I think it's just

00:59:28.920 going to take some time

00:59:29.740 for a lot of millennials

00:59:30.700 to find their self-worth

00:59:32.340 and to make it on their own.

00:59:34.140 And we don't,

00:59:34.940 definitely don't need

00:59:35.740 to be cobbled by anybody.

00:59:37.060 I think a good,

00:59:37.640 good shakeup

00:59:38.700 is really what's needed.

00:59:39.660 Good for you,

00:59:40.060 Josh.

00:59:40.520 Thank you so much.

00:59:41.300 Please check in with us again.

00:59:42.920 I'd love to hear

00:59:43.440 how you continue to do.

00:59:45.120 Thanks so much,

00:59:45.800 Josh.

00:59:46.100 Sure thing.

00:59:46.580 Thanks for having me.

00:59:47.360 Halfway house,

00:59:47.900 man.

00:59:48.080 That's tough.

00:59:48.860 Yeah,

00:59:49.100 that's tough love.

00:59:50.180 That's real tough love.

00:59:51.620 See,

00:59:51.780 I'm willing to do

00:59:52.500 the bing bag chairs

00:59:53.460 and the no offices

00:59:54.440 and all of that.

00:59:55.600 Oh God.

00:59:56.080 Oh God.

00:59:56.680 No,

00:59:56.840 no,

00:59:56.900 no.

00:59:57.020 We know,

00:59:57.380 we know you,

00:59:57.880 we know you are willing

00:59:58.980 to do the no offices.

01:00:00.300 We are aware of this fact.

01:00:02.220 We work with you.

01:00:03.200 We got it.

01:00:04.820 So I'm willing to do,

01:00:06.000 I'm willing to do that,

01:00:06.940 but I'm not willing to coddle.

01:00:08.480 I'm not as a company

01:00:09.360 willing to coddle.

01:00:10.320 No.

01:00:10.420 Look,

01:00:10.640 we'll,

01:00:11.280 we'll change with the times.

01:00:12.540 We'll,

01:00:13.020 you know,

01:00:13.200 I like that atmosphere

01:00:14.280 much better as a creative atmosphere.

01:00:17.780 However,

01:00:18.140 you still got to do it.

01:00:20.600 You still have to do it.

01:00:21.340 You don't do it.

01:00:22.320 Right.

01:00:22.880 You can't,

01:00:23.360 you're not,

01:00:23.900 I'm not,

01:00:24.360 you can't stay.

01:00:25.220 No,

01:00:25.440 you can't stay.

01:00:26.100 Right.

01:00:26.440 You hurt everybody else.

01:00:27.520 Yeah.

01:00:27.940 If you get upset,

01:00:28.640 are you able to go,

01:00:29.580 you'd be able to maybe,

01:00:30.760 you know,

01:00:31.400 shut down for the day?

01:00:32.440 No,

01:00:32.700 you're pretty much get over it.

01:00:35.020 There's some interesting things. 0.99

01:00:36.360 Can you treat everybody else like crap? 0.99

01:00:37.780 Because you're having a bad day. 1.00

01:00:38.720 Is that right?

01:00:39.080 No,

01:00:39.200 you're pretty much,

01:00:39.820 yeah.

01:00:40.580 Let me give you a couple.

01:00:41.120 Get out.

01:00:41.660 Let me give you a couple examples here.

01:00:42.900 This is,

01:00:43.320 these are things from the left.

01:00:44.280 How is the beanbag chair here?

01:00:45.660 How is the left dealing with the current environment?

01:00:48.220 Yeah.

01:00:48.540 Okay.

01:00:48.760 This is difficult.

01:00:49.440 These aren't all millennials,

01:00:50.700 but look at this.

01:00:52.280 It's amazing to see this and it's so easy to mock,

01:00:55.300 but maybe there's something deeper here.

01:00:56.840 Okay.

01:00:57.720 Your first instinct is to mock.

01:00:59.360 My first instinct was to mock,

01:01:00.480 but I'm trying to be good here.

01:01:01.800 All right.

01:01:02.460 Eric Holthaus,

01:01:04.140 he,

01:01:04.620 this is his tweet storm from this weekend.

01:01:06.900 I'm starting my 11th year working on climate change,

01:01:08.940 including the last four daily journalism.

01:01:11.260 Today,

01:01:11.720 I want to see a counselor about it.

01:01:13.580 Oh,

01:01:13.800 wow.

01:01:13.940 I'm saying this because I know many people feel deep despair about climate,

01:01:17.440 especially post-election.

01:01:18.460 I struggle every day.

01:01:20.000 You are not alone.

01:01:21.380 How much did you struggle over the weekend when it was 11 degrees in Dallas,

01:01:24.440 Texas?

01:01:24.600 Really freaking cold.

01:01:25.480 It was so warm.

01:01:26.540 It had gotten cold.

01:01:27.340 Pat's first instinct also is to mock.

01:01:29.560 Yes.

01:01:30.320 Right.

01:01:30.800 Definitely.

01:01:31.540 And I'm not saying that's not necessarily a healthy instinct.

01:01:34.860 I'm not ignoring that instinct right now.

01:01:36.820 Right.

01:01:37.140 All of these,

01:01:37.760 I want to mock and react viscerally to.

01:01:39.900 May I,

01:01:40.040 may I say my fifth instinct is,

01:01:43.760 to say you would feel that way.

01:01:48.280 Had you been living in the last eight years in that bubble of,

01:01:52.140 it's always going to be this way.

01:01:53.920 Our side win a one. 1.00

01:01:56.280 Shut up. 0.99

01:01:56.760 Everybody who disagrees with us. 0.99

01:01:58.300 The other party is a regional party that will never win another national.

01:02:01.160 And now you're feeling like we felt.

01:02:06.180 So I can relate to you.

01:02:07.980 So let me give you the,

01:02:08.860 so this is one way of handling it.

01:02:10.100 He says,

01:02:10.440 there are days where I literally can't work.

01:02:14.400 I'll read a story and shut down for the rest of the day.

01:02:17.880 Come on.

01:02:19.300 How often do we read stories that piss us off?

01:02:22.820 Okay.

01:02:23.120 That offend us.

01:02:24.000 Let me ask you this.

01:02:25.020 Let me ask you this.

01:02:25.740 Every day.

01:02:26.360 Let me ask you this.

01:02:27.760 We're sitting here today.

01:02:29.280 What is it?

01:02:29.660 January 6th,

01:02:31.000 8th,

01:02:31.260 9th,

01:02:31.640 9th,

01:02:32.080 January 9th.

01:02:32.740 We're sitting here January 9th and we are just a few days away from the

01:02:37.760 Hillary Clinton nomination.

01:02:40.800 January 9th.

01:02:41.920 You mean.

01:02:43.220 No,

01:02:43.860 that Trump,

01:02:44.500 Trump,

01:02:44.920 if she won.

01:02:46.280 Yeah.

01:02:47.160 I bet you there'd be a lot of people in our audience who would be like,

01:02:50.020 I can't,

01:02:50.300 I can't function.

01:02:51.300 I don't.

01:02:51.580 That's true.

01:02:52.320 I do.

01:02:53.140 And maybe look how we were in 12.

01:02:55.520 They wouldn't go see a counselor.

01:02:57.620 We survived Obama twice.

01:02:59.720 Nobody shuts down.

01:03:01.200 I mean,

01:03:01.400 nobody just stays.

01:03:02.540 I think that right.

01:03:04.680 I think I barely go to work.

01:03:06.320 Republicans and conservatives deal with these problems in different ways.

01:03:09.100 I agree.

01:03:09.820 The liberal way to handle it is you go and you shut down and you,

01:03:12.660 and you go see a counselor about it.

01:03:14.180 That's not how a conservative is going to handle it.

01:03:16.060 But I mean,

01:03:16.400 there are a lot of conservatives,

01:03:17.660 including me that after Romney in 12,

01:03:20.420 I was like,

01:03:20.780 I don't know this country.

01:03:21.660 I don't want to look at the news.

01:03:22.980 We forced ourselves to do it.

01:03:24.600 But there's a lot of people who said,

01:03:26.360 I'm,

01:03:26.600 I'm,

01:03:26.840 I unplugged.

01:03:27.480 I'm out.

01:03:28.340 I'm out.

01:03:29.120 Now that's not the same as shutting down and not being able to work.

01:03:32.720 Not paying attention to the news for a while though.

01:03:35.040 You're going to work.

01:03:35.920 You're going to work.

01:03:36.720 You work as a climate change activist.

01:03:40.580 Right.

01:03:41.120 That's what you're doing every day.

01:03:42.420 I can see you saying,

01:03:43.340 well,

01:03:43.480 why am I doing this? 0.99

01:03:44.680 It's a dumb job to begin with. 0.99

01:03:46.240 All right. 0.99

01:03:46.460 Okay.

01:03:46.940 All right.

01:03:48.120 That's bringing people together.

01:03:49.620 That's good.

01:03:50.580 Like it.

01:03:51.460 Like it.

01:03:52.340 You know,

01:03:52.960 he goes on to say,

01:03:56.360 we don't deserve this planet.

01:03:58.400 There are many days when I think it would be better off without us.

01:04:01.940 Okay.

01:04:02.180 And then he says,

01:04:02.840 you should be. 0.95

01:04:03.520 Climate denier trolls, 0.93

01:04:04.380 which I think is us.

01:04:05.480 I think this is when we're supposed to be cute.

01:04:06.980 Definitely me.

01:04:07.560 I don't think the world would be better off without humans.

01:04:10.960 It's just so insane.

01:04:13.940 Yeah.

01:04:14.220 And he goes,

01:04:14.700 I mean,

01:04:14.880 it's a fairly lengthy thing,

01:04:17.120 but he says,

01:04:17.620 you know,

01:04:17.880 I don't feel like I make a difference,

01:04:18.960 which is what you're talking about with millennials.

01:04:21.380 And what we felt like.

01:04:23.160 Nobody's listening to me.

01:04:24.140 I can't make a difference.

01:04:25.500 You feel powerless.

01:04:26.380 You feel like nothing matters.

01:04:27.520 Your relationships suffer.

01:04:28.860 You feel guilty for not doing more.

01:04:30.380 But what the hell am I supposed to do?

01:04:32.220 Write another blog post?

01:04:33.480 Our secretary of state is the effing Exxon CEO.

01:04:37.800 No.

01:04:38.600 As funny as that is to mock.

01:04:40.160 Think of how we felt when people like Jeremiah Wright were,

01:04:44.800 were associating with Barack Obama.

01:04:47.120 Yes.

01:04:47.500 And they won somehow.

01:04:49.200 Yes.

01:04:49.540 And the country embraced that regime.

01:04:51.360 Yes.

01:04:51.800 And you had this guy who was saying,

01:04:54.060 you know,

01:04:54.460 you know,

01:04:55.220 we need to cling to our God and our guns as the president of the United States.

01:04:58.700 How many times did I say,

01:05:00.180 seriously,

01:05:01.220 I'm going to mountains.

01:05:02.200 We're not,

01:05:02.540 what we're doing, 0.50

01:05:03.020 not making a damn bit of difference.

01:05:04.740 I'm going to mountains.

01:05:05.840 There's nothing different from what he's saying,

01:05:08.080 except it's the other side.

01:05:09.980 And so we can laugh.

01:05:10.960 Right.

01:05:11.260 Which we shouldn't do.

01:05:13.260 Because it's the other side.

01:05:15.520 Pat.

01:05:15.780 Pat's like,

01:05:17.540 I know we shouldn't,

01:05:18.740 but I'm going to.

01:05:19.840 Exactly.

01:05:20.240 So we may spend the last hour just mocking that guy.

01:05:24.360 Well,

01:05:24.520 there's two other approaches to the reason that we should get to as well.

01:05:27.800 Glenn Beck.

01:05:30.600 Want to see Glenn live?

01:05:32.300 If you're coming to Texas,

01:05:33.580 you can.

01:05:34.300 Yay! 0.99

01:05:35.240 Join us at Mercury Studios in Dallas for a taping of Glenn's television show.

01:05:39.640 To reserve your seat,

01:05:40.680 email tickets at glennbeck.com with your information.

01:05:43.980 That's tickets at glennbeck.com.

01:05:47.860 Mercury.

01:05:48.300 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:05:54.400 Let me go to Rebecca in Ohio. 0.99

01:05:56.240 Hello,

01:05:56.480 Rebecca.

01:05:56.840 You're on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:05:58.120 Hey,

01:05:58.520 Glenn.

01:05:59.560 How are you?

01:06:01.040 Good.

01:06:01.620 How are you?

01:06:02.460 Very good.

01:06:03.020 So I wanted to call in because actually the interview that you had been sharing,

01:06:09.760 I had actually seen a few days ago.

01:06:11.940 And not only am I a millennial,

01:06:14.140 I'm 25 years old,

01:06:15.420 but I'm also a senior photographer.

01:06:17.140 And I think that many of the issues that you guys covered today are so,

01:06:22.280 I guess I didn't notice them until it was brought to my attention.

01:06:26.060 Over the last few years,

01:06:27.620 I've been doing the senior photography and it seems like year after year,

01:06:32.640 the communication during the sessions when I'm trying to talk with my clients

01:06:37.600 has become less and less.

01:06:39.400 And so when I'm,

01:06:41.020 you know,

01:06:41.480 photographing them,

01:06:42.380 I'm trying to get to know them.

01:06:43.780 They kind of stare down at their feet.

01:06:45.800 They don't know what to say.

01:06:46.720 They're becoming more awkward.

01:06:48.500 And at first I thought maybe it was just me.

01:06:51.660 Maybe I'm,

01:06:53.080 you know,

01:06:53.380 not catering to them in a certain way.

01:06:55.460 But then afterwards they would contact me on social media and go,

01:06:59.700 Oh my gosh,

01:07:00.160 I loved my session.

01:07:01.120 And they would write these amazing reviews.

01:07:04.340 And I'm thinking,

01:07:05.380 Oh my gosh,

01:07:05.860 well,

01:07:06.000 I thought that went horrible,

01:07:07.120 but I guess that they find their confidence in the technology and they find

01:07:12.820 themselves expressing themselves better through technology and social media

01:07:17.220 more than even in person.

01:07:19.060 Like I can rarely get eye contact.

01:07:22.680 Wow.

01:07:23.140 That's disturbing.

01:07:24.400 Interesting.

01:07:25.000 And yeah,

01:07:25.460 disturbing worse.

01:07:27.280 Like,

01:07:27.720 you know,

01:07:28.740 and I started in 2010 and it seems like this year has been the worst.

01:07:34.560 Now I love them to death.

01:07:35.660 They're all very sweet.

01:07:37.160 They're actually a lot better than the teenagers that I grew up with when we were

01:07:41.120 their age.

01:07:41.740 They,

01:07:41.940 they aren't catty anymore.

01:07:43.380 They're not so critical.

01:07:45.040 They're actually very loving and they're very understanding and stuff,

01:07:49.660 but it seems like,

01:07:51.060 you know,

01:07:51.500 like you guys had been saying,

01:07:53.820 they get their confidence through social media.

01:07:56.520 And it seems like maybe they can express themselves better that way.

01:07:59.420 Well,

01:07:59.580 it's a,

01:07:59.880 it's a safe zone.

01:08:00.820 They know they won't,

01:08:01.820 they know they won't encounter any kind of pushback and they don't know how to say the

01:08:10.620 things to people's faces.

01:08:12.820 It's,

01:08:13.340 you know,

01:08:13.560 it's,

01:08:13.700 they haven't developed that at all.

01:08:15.600 Yeah.

01:08:15.720 None.

01:08:16.120 There's no,

01:08:16.500 there's so when they get the pushback,

01:08:17.940 they don't want to hear it.

01:08:18.780 And that's why they're developing safe zones and colleges.

01:08:21.620 Right.

01:08:22.040 Right.

01:08:22.400 And,

01:08:22.860 but that's being empowered.

01:08:24.240 I think they would take it.

01:08:25.580 If the adults in the classroom would say,

01:08:28.240 sorry,

01:08:28.780 dude.

01:08:29.160 Right.

01:08:29.560 That's the way it is.

01:08:31.100 That's life.

01:08:31.980 Fight back.

01:08:32.800 Right.

01:08:33.080 Come on,

01:08:33.620 deal with it.

01:08:34.140 Show,

01:08:34.360 show me the other side anymore.

01:08:36.340 Right.

01:08:36.640 Yeah.

01:08:36.780 You're not making it okay anymore to be wrong and to listen and to be understanding.

01:08:41.440 It's like,

01:08:42.260 that's an embarrassment and that's awkward.

01:08:44.420 It's like,

01:08:44.860 you have to be perfect in all aspects.

01:08:46.820 And that's why on social media,

01:08:48.800 they can,

01:08:49.460 they can delete that picture.

01:08:50.980 They can,

01:08:51.980 you know,

01:08:52.620 back face on their message before they send or post or anything like that.

01:08:57.300 You know,

01:08:57.940 it's amazing.

01:08:58.580 I got a picture book from my daughter who has my two grandchildren for Christmas.

01:09:07.580 And I looked at all of the pictures and they were beautiful.

01:09:10.760 And I mean,

01:09:11.560 it was perfect.

01:09:13.280 Then I went back and looked at some of the pictures,

01:09:15.780 you know,

01:09:16.300 from our family.

01:09:19.400 Very few of them are perfect.

01:09:22.040 I mean,

01:09:22.340 they're usually somebody looking very dorky in the picture.

01:09:26.500 That's real life.

01:09:28.640 You know,

01:09:29.000 that is what,

01:09:29.800 what we are failing to teach is there isn't a Photoshop for life.

01:09:36.140 The Glenn Beck program.

01:09:39.240 Mercury.

01:09:40.760 This is the blaze radio on demand.

01:09:58.060 Individuals and businesses with tax problems.

01:10:00.400 Listen carefully.

01:10:01.080 If you owe over $10,000 in back taxes or have unfiled tax returns,

01:10:05.520 we can help you take back control.

01:10:07.120 The IRS is the largest and most aggressive collection agency in the world.

01:10:10.760 And they can seize your bank account,

01:10:12.180 garnish your paycheck,

01:10:13.140 close your business and file criminal charges.

01:10:15.800 Take control of your tax problems.

01:10:17.140 Now by calling the experts at tax mediation services at 800-600-1645.

01:10:22.720 That's 800-600-1645.

01:10:25.180 800-600-1645.

01:10:27.280 So let's start with a few things.

01:10:29.880 First of all,

01:10:30.480 this incredible story out of Chicago that we told you about last week,

01:10:33.900 where,

01:10:34.900 where four millennials pick up this handicapped kid and, 0.97

01:10:42.880 and beat on him.

01:10:43.880 I'm having a hard time with the CBS story because it doesn't sound like the same story that we all saw last week.

01:10:51.820 We'll give that to you here in,

01:10:53.660 in just a second.

01:10:55.360 Also,

01:10:56.440 did anybody watch the Golden Globes?

01:10:58.540 I mean,

01:10:58.820 I didn't.

01:10:59.360 Anybody turn them on?

01:11:01.120 Believe it or not,

01:11:02.540 Pat.

01:11:03.440 Tried to.

01:11:04.340 I tried to watch for a minute.

01:11:05.620 Why?

01:11:06.380 Why?

01:11:07.520 I just wanted to see what movies were going to get awards.

01:11:11.400 The ones you haven't seen.

01:11:13.080 It turns out that way.

01:11:14.400 Yeah.

01:11:14.580 Exactly.

01:11:15.020 It turns out that way every time.

01:11:17.740 And lo and behold,

01:11:18.680 so did some of the speeches given.

01:11:21.860 Agonizing.

01:11:22.360 Yeah.

01:11:22.840 Of course.

01:11:23.560 That's why we didn't watch it,

01:11:26.420 Pat.

01:11:26.800 We didn't watch it.

01:11:27.820 We begin there right now.

01:11:29.000 The Fusion of Entertainment and Enlightenment.

01:11:50.920 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:11:55.140 Pat watched it.

01:12:00.340 Now we find out the real reason why Pat watched the Golden Globes.

01:12:04.540 His wife gave him an,

01:12:06.880 I mean.

01:12:07.740 A nice TV for Christmas.

01:12:08.960 I don't know where this one came from.

01:12:11.080 She gave him a big 4K TV.

01:12:14.960 And so you're just watching anything that's in 4K.

01:12:17.060 Anything that's in 4K,

01:12:17.980 I'm there.

01:12:19.300 And so I wanted to see.

01:12:20.820 So when the Globes came on and I thought,

01:12:23.640 oh,

01:12:23.960 look at that.

01:12:24.460 It seems to be in.

01:12:25.680 Jennifer Lawrence,

01:12:26.440 Ultra HD,

01:12:27.300 4K.

01:12:28.440 But I lasted about 10 minutes.

01:12:31.260 Did they look different in 4K?

01:12:33.540 Yeah,

01:12:33.720 you can see everything.

01:12:34.800 It's like x-ray vision.

01:12:35.800 You can see their underwear.

01:12:36.980 No,

01:12:37.200 seriously.

01:12:37.900 No,

01:12:38.420 I mean,

01:12:38.780 everything is so much clearer.

01:12:40.360 It's just that much more vivid.

01:12:41.860 You know how blurry regular TV,

01:12:44.060 standard television looks now when you have HD?

01:12:46.820 It's the same from HD to 4K.

01:12:49.580 It's about that.

01:12:50.700 Tell us how blurry it is.

01:12:51.980 It's pretty dramatic.

01:12:52.680 Tell us how blurry it is, Pat.

01:12:54.100 So it's really blurry.

01:12:55.320 So do they look better,

01:12:56.500 worse,

01:12:56.740 or about the same?

01:12:59.200 They look worse.

01:13:00.260 They look better now than they did before.

01:13:02.460 Well,

01:13:03.200 it depends on who you're looking at,

01:13:04.660 obviously,

01:13:05.260 like always.

01:13:06.560 Like always.

01:13:07.180 It's amazing,

01:13:07.640 though,

01:13:07.720 because I remember when HD came out,

01:13:09.220 I remember thinking,

01:13:10.120 like,

01:13:10.260 I was going to beat the system, 1.00

01:13:11.360 and I don't care about the stupid HD, 0.99

01:13:14.120 so what it looks a little bit better. 0.99

01:13:15.320 I'm going to buy,

01:13:15.880 now I can save a lot of money on the standard definition ones.

01:13:18.420 You could pay nothing for them.

01:13:19.340 You could get spoiled.

01:13:20.060 I think it was the smartest thing in the world,

01:13:21.560 and it's amazing.

01:13:22.700 It comes to the point that you have,

01:13:24.680 on your cable system,

01:13:25.520 a thousand channels,

01:13:26.940 18 of them are in HD,

01:13:28.980 and those are the only channels I would watch.

01:13:30.340 Only ones I watch.

01:13:32.000 And when that transition happened,

01:13:33.420 now it's probably the same thing with the 4K.

01:13:36.080 I haven't even seen it yet.

01:13:37.420 I haven't even seen the quality.

01:13:37.840 I've seen it displayed.

01:13:39.000 Pat hasn't,

01:13:39.700 I haven't received an invite yet.

01:13:42.620 Pat has an open invitation to come over anytime.

01:13:46.280 But it's dramatic.

01:13:49.540 It's dramatic.

01:13:50.440 Really?

01:13:50.980 Yeah.

01:13:51.320 Because it just doesn't seem like.

01:13:53.080 You're not going to buy one until it's like 800 bucks.

01:13:55.180 I've done that train before.

01:13:56.640 Yes.

01:13:56.860 I'm not being fooled again.

01:13:57.880 And the thing is,

01:13:58.840 not that much is broadcast right now in 4K.

01:14:01.780 So the Golden Globes,

01:14:02.980 you'll get the Oscars,

01:14:03.800 you'll get the Super Bowl,

01:14:04.780 you'll get a lot of the big events.

01:14:06.460 And some stuff on Netflix,

01:14:09.000 their new stuff is generally 4K. 0.89

01:14:11.500 Through the freaking internet?

01:14:12.660 I think the crown is in 4K. 0.95

01:14:14.480 Is it?

01:14:14.960 Yeah.

01:14:15.800 And some of the other new shows.

01:14:16.780 So you might watch the crown.

01:14:18.020 So I'm thinking about watching the crown now.

01:14:19.120 It's really good.

01:14:20.200 It won the Golden Globe last night, right?

01:14:21.860 It's really good.

01:14:24.060 It's highly acclaimed.

01:14:25.380 So is there anything,

01:14:26.020 is there anything last night that,

01:14:29.280 you know,

01:14:30.220 we should know about?

01:14:31.640 I mean,

01:14:31.820 because I didn't pay the-

01:14:32.400 The big news is the Meryl Streep thing,

01:14:33.900 I guess.

01:14:34.640 Yeah,

01:14:35.120 but I know.

01:14:35.420 This speech was so agonizing.

01:14:37.440 I mean,

01:14:37.800 listen to this.

01:14:38.840 So Hollywood is crawling with outsiders and foreigners. 1.00

01:14:42.300 And if we kick them all out-

01:14:44.060 May I first say, 0.96

01:14:44.860 there's no A in the word foreigners.

01:14:46.600 So can we just start there?

01:14:48.440 Foreigners. 0.91

01:14:48.960 It's not far!

01:14:50.180 It's for!

01:14:52.220 Foreigners!

01:14:52.580 You'll have nothing to watch but football and mixed martial arts,

01:14:56.900 which are not the arts.

01:14:59.740 Whoa,

01:15:00.100 whoa,

01:15:00.360 whoa,

01:15:00.600 whoa.

01:15:01.160 And a lot of people seriously disagree with that.

01:15:03.260 Whoa,

01:15:03.280 I didn't know that.

01:15:03.920 I mean,

01:15:04.600 I had already called the Trump administration,

01:15:06.920 I'm trying to be part of the,

01:15:08.940 you know,

01:15:10.060 the National Endowment for the Arts.

01:15:11.360 I was hoping we could give all of the money to the MMA.

01:15:15.860 I thought that was it.

01:15:17.340 And by the way,

01:15:17.840 I don't know if Meryl has seen this,

01:15:19.620 but if she's seen the TV ratings,

01:15:20.920 they already are only watching football.

01:15:22.960 Thank you.

01:15:23.460 Yes.

01:15:23.800 I don't know if you've noticed this,

01:15:24.840 but like the top five of the top six shows every single week are the NFL.

01:15:28.840 And do you honestly,

01:15:29.920 do you care that some of the best shows on television now are,

01:15:33.860 are made in England or made in Vancouver,

01:15:37.720 BC?

01:15:38.380 No.

01:15:38.840 You care?

01:15:39.400 I don't care.

01:15:39.920 And also I've noticed a few,

01:15:41.460 Pat,

01:15:41.660 maybe you can back me up on this,

01:15:42.980 a few people of color and foreigners in sports.

01:15:46.760 I've noticed a few of them.

01:15:47.520 What?

01:15:47.920 It's weird.

01:15:48.580 I've noticed in the NFL,

01:15:49.600 it's not all white people,

01:15:50.940 not all white people.

01:15:52.320 In fact,

01:15:52.540 and we still seem to love watching it. 0.65

01:15:54.420 It's almost as if her point is completely inane. 0.94

01:15:57.540 Completely. 0.67

01:15:58.580 Almost.

01:15:59.280 I've missed you,

01:16:00.160 Stu.

01:16:00.460 Okay.

01:16:00.840 I've missed you.

01:16:01.680 I've missed you.

01:16:02.200 And also,

01:16:03.420 Trump didn't even say that.

01:16:05.660 Trump's not talking about kicking out all foreigners.

01:16:08.740 Trump is Hollywood.

01:16:10.160 Never said.

01:16:10.600 Yeah,

01:16:10.820 he is Hollywood.

01:16:11.540 The guy only talks about his ratings.

01:16:12.760 I mean,

01:16:13.040 he,

01:16:13.160 he,

01:16:13.500 there's never been outside of Reagan,

01:16:15.780 probably a president that was more closely aligned with Hollywood than Donald Trump.

01:16:20.100 Next to Reagan.

01:16:21.240 Right.

01:16:23.280 So I,

01:16:24.060 I mean,

01:16:24.360 I,

01:16:24.540 you,

01:16:24.920 you brought it on yourself,

01:16:26.000 bro.

01:16:26.060 I know.

01:16:26.380 Well,

01:16:26.480 that was the last straw for me.

01:16:27.660 I turned,

01:16:28.020 I turned the channel immediately.

01:16:29.460 I couldn't take,

01:16:30.200 I will say,

01:16:30.720 I mean,

01:16:31.000 she made me in love with Donald Trump.

01:16:33.400 I wanted to go back in time and vote for him,

01:16:35.860 not just once,

01:16:36.860 but multiple times.

01:16:38.280 And I will say,

01:16:39.080 because I'm so sick of these people.

01:16:41.720 I,

01:16:41.880 I,

01:16:42.300 agonizing.

01:16:43.060 100% agree with Donald Trump on what he took today, 1.00

01:16:46.320 which is a much more difficult stand than saying Meryl Streep's an idiot when she makes a political speech. 0.99

01:16:50.720 That's an easy stance to take. 0.99

01:16:51.880 The tough one. 1.00

01:16:53.240 And the true one is that Meryl Streep sucks as an actress, 1.00

01:16:57.660 not as a speaker, 1.00

01:16:59.360 not as a political theorist,

01:17:00.920 as an actress. 0.98

01:17:02.580 She's terrible.

01:17:04.420 Thank you,

01:17:05.020 Pat.

01:17:05.320 She's so overrated. 0.84

01:17:07.020 She's overrated. 0.96

01:17:07.960 Trump tweeted it today. 0.97

01:17:08.900 I've been saying it on this show for how many freaking years. 0.87

01:17:11.700 He did not. 0.94

01:17:12.120 Did he say she's overrated?

01:17:13.380 She's the most overrated actress. 1.00

01:17:14.900 And he says that about everybody.

01:17:17.600 But he's right on this one and give him credit when he's right.

01:17:20.240 He is 100% right. 0.99

01:17:22.740 She stinks. 1.00

01:17:24.320 And history, 1.00

01:17:25.440 hopefully will correctly recognize that she's terrible.

01:17:28.820 Oh,

01:17:29.040 they made it terrible.

01:17:30.300 They,

01:17:30.560 I mean,

01:17:31.220 they made her out to be the queen.

01:17:33.660 Of course,

01:17:33.980 they always do.

01:17:34.700 They just give her the awards before she even does the movies. 0.93

01:17:37.460 But she's terrible.

01:17:38.500 And it's, 0.94

01:17:39.160 it's finally,

01:17:39.660 we have a president that can recognize that because I don't even know what Reagan have done.

01:17:43.880 I don't know if he'd have the guts.

01:17:45.340 No,

01:17:45.580 luckily Trump's out there with the guts to say Meryl Streep.

01:17:48.600 Meryl Streep,

01:17:49.220 one of the most overrated actresses in Hollywood doesn't know me, 0.96

01:17:52.780 but attacked last night at the Golden Globes.

01:17:54.680 She's a Hillary flunky who lost big. 1.00

01:17:59.660 She lost,

01:18:00.560 you got a lot.

01:18:01.080 Wait,

01:18:01.300 Hillary lost big or, 0.97

01:18:02.800 or because Meryl won the award,

01:18:04.260 right?

01:18:04.980 Meryl didn't lose big in the particular awards,

01:18:07.500 but who cares?

01:18:08.540 I'm a 100% with them on this,

01:18:10.660 on this point.

01:18:11.200 And I'm happy to celebrate it.

01:18:12.680 I'm glad they,

01:18:13.180 they don't even,

01:18:13.880 they don't even,

01:18:15.160 they don't even recognize the rot in their own state.

01:18:20.440 They don't even recognize why,

01:18:22.480 why,

01:18:23.000 why are you not paying,

01:18:24.700 you know,

01:18:26.900 the people in California to do your food catering,

01:18:29.700 to pick you up?

01:18:31.280 Why do you have to fly to someplace else?

01:18:33.160 Your house is in California.

01:18:34.680 Why do you have to fly someplace else to do it?

01:18:36.500 Why is Duck Dynasty done in Louisiana?

01:18:44.440 Do you even know how they found Duck Dynasty?

01:18:46.580 Do you know how that came to be?

01:18:49.000 Right?

01:18:49.660 Yeah,

01:18:49.900 from the,

01:18:50.420 from the,

01:18:51.440 tax incentives,

01:18:51.820 tax incentives from the state,

01:18:53.180 which by the way,

01:18:53.860 I think they've pulled out of Louisiana,

01:18:55.520 Louisiana said, 0.97

01:18:58.420 we are going to make this the most,

01:19:01.180 the easiest place to do movies and television.

01:19:04.640 You film anything here,

01:19:05.960 we're going to give you a huge tax break.

01:19:09.080 Okay.

01:19:09.940 So they do.

01:19:11.680 The producers don't say,

01:19:13.560 Hey,

01:19:13.680 there's these guys in Louisiana that are great.

01:19:16.000 The producers say,

01:19:17.460 go to Louisiana and find a story that might be a show.

01:19:22.040 Yeah.

01:19:22.300 And this has happened throughout history.

01:19:23.600 I mean,

01:19:24.040 Rocky was,

01:19:25.660 if I,

01:19:25.900 if I,

01:19:26.220 if I remember the story,

01:19:27.360 right was initially a New York story.

01:19:30.740 It was,

01:19:31.300 you know,

01:19:31.440 it's so associated with Philadelphia,

01:19:33.120 right?

01:19:33.560 But it was a kind of a New York story.

01:19:35.460 It was supposed to be filmed large portions of it in New York,

01:19:38.160 but because of unions,

01:19:39.800 they went to Philadelphia and the unions were better.

01:19:43.620 I know.

01:19:43.900 Wow.

01:19:44.900 They found a more willing environment and they had to,

01:19:48.580 a lot of it.

01:19:48.900 They still had to like,

01:19:50.320 one of the reasons they developed the steady cam and use the steady cam a lot for that

01:19:53.900 was because by their telling,

01:19:55.220 at least because they basically had to run around and hide from people where they weren't

01:19:58.920 supposed to be shooting the movie,

01:20:00.520 which is kind of a funny thing at all.

01:20:02.860 But these things do lead to innovations.

01:20:05.400 And you see this,

01:20:06.300 I mean,

01:20:06.500 this is Hollywood at its most out of touch.

01:20:09.320 And,

01:20:09.460 and everyone was tweeting and,

01:20:11.160 and Facebooking about how this is why Trump won,

01:20:14.980 because they see people like Meryl Streep with these attitudes and,

01:20:18.120 and,

01:20:18.360 and treating everyone out there,

01:20:21.060 half the country in this way.

01:20:23.120 And it's so annoying,

01:20:24.920 even when they don't like Donald Trump,

01:20:26.480 they'll vote for him because they're just so,

01:20:29.320 it's just so elitist.

01:20:30.920 It is,

01:20:31.240 it is this understanding that everyone in this room is right.

01:20:35.420 Even though people in that room aren't all in lockstep,

01:20:39.660 but they've silenced those people.

01:20:43.220 So everybody in this room is right.

01:20:45.660 And we're now being broadcast all around the country.

01:20:48.360 So now we're going to tell all the little people. 0.61

01:20:50.540 I mean,

01:20:50.840 it is Norma Desmond.

01:20:52.560 All you little people out there in the dark, 1.00

01:20:56.240 they just, 1.00

01:20:57.840 they believe we're stupid. 1.00

01:21:01.600 And so there's no way we're ever going to listen to one of your points 1.00

01:21:06.040 while you're telling us we're stupid. 1.00

01:21:08.180 I've got great examples of this too. 1.00

01:21:09.420 Well, 1.00

01:21:09.680 we don't think you're stupid. 1.00

01:21:10.820 Just watch football and MMA. 1.00

01:21:12.940 Yeah.

01:21:13.520 And that's not the art.

01:21:16.980 I mean,

01:21:17.620 I think that was written as a funny line,

01:21:19.920 but she delivered it maybe because she's a bad actress. 1.00

01:21:23.680 Yes.

01:21:24.120 She delivered it as a slam in everybody's face. 1.00

01:21:27.360 Like we don't know.

01:21:28.300 That's not art.

01:21:29.740 And now this told you last week,

01:21:31.580 threw my back out.

01:21:33.140 And one of the reasons why is because I was away from my Casper mattress.

01:21:36.700 Plus you moved in your chair.

01:21:38.220 You were in a chair sitting there and you moved.

01:21:40.940 You've moved.

01:21:41.760 You've made another chair.

01:21:42.620 We tried to tell you.

01:21:43.700 We warned you.

01:21:44.520 I don't know how many times.

01:21:45.260 Don't move.

01:21:45.820 Cause you gotta be careful.

01:21:47.680 Don't move.

01:21:48.480 And you moved.

01:21:49.420 And I know this makes you guys feel good some way.

01:21:52.880 I'm just not sure how it makes you feel good,

01:21:55.180 but you're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

01:21:59.080 The Glenn Beck program.

01:22:01.580 I will beat my drum.

01:22:03.500 I have made my choice.

01:22:05.760 We will overcome.

01:22:08.200 Cause we have won.

01:22:11.940 Mercury.

01:22:14.100 Individuals and businesses with tax problems.

01:22:16.460 Listen carefully.

01:22:17.140 If you owe over $10,000 in back taxes or have unfiled tax returns,

01:22:21.580 we can help you take back control.

01:22:23.200 The IRS is the largest and most aggressive collection agency in the world.

01:22:26.840 And they can seize your bank account,

01:22:28.240 garnish your paycheck,

01:22:29.220 close your business,

01:22:30.180 and file criminal charges.

01:22:31.860 Take control of your tax problems now by calling the experts at tax mediation services.

01:22:36.280 At 800-600-1645.

01:22:38.520 That's 800-600-1645.

01:22:41.260 800-600-1645.

01:22:45.440 The Glenn Beck program.

01:22:47.580 888-727-BECK.

01:22:50.600 On with Tucker tonight.

01:22:51.740 His first show.

01:22:53.380 Yeah.

01:22:53.600 I've never done Tucker Carlson.

01:22:54.540 I've never watched any of Tucker Carlson's shows.

01:22:57.900 Or...

01:22:58.260 Seen him on the air many times, though.

01:22:59.680 Seen him on the air.

01:23:00.320 You guys got in a little bit of a dust-up fairly recently,

01:23:03.960 if I remember correctly.

01:23:05.840 What about Facebook?

01:23:07.380 Yeah, you guys see it.

01:23:08.240 I didn't.

01:23:08.880 He did.

01:23:09.460 It wasn't a big deal or anything,

01:23:11.180 but it was...

01:23:12.040 I mean, it's interesting you're going on his show.

01:23:14.280 I didn't...

01:23:15.440 Was there...

01:23:16.300 I mean, I don't know that you don't care,

01:23:17.860 but sometimes these media things blow up into stuff that they're...

01:23:20.920 You know...

01:23:21.240 Oh, I'm hoping...

01:23:22.640 I'm just going on his show tonight

01:23:24.400 because he's been asking for a long time.

01:23:27.720 And we've been saying no.

01:23:31.020 And tonight's a big night for him.

01:23:32.720 And if there's a way I can help him and be in a show,

01:23:35.320 I think that's great.

01:23:36.620 I have no idea what he wants to talk about.

01:23:38.960 If he's going to get into a dust-up,

01:23:40.220 it's going to be an interesting conversation.

01:23:41.460 Yeah, I doubt it.

01:23:42.340 I mean, it's...

01:23:43.220 You guys obviously agree on the vast majority of issues.

01:23:46.200 Yeah.

01:23:47.800 Will we see this recapped on the new glenbeck.com

01:23:52.380 that appears to exist?

01:23:53.500 I don't know, but it does appear to exist.

01:23:55.700 It does appear to exist.

01:23:56.340 It does not today.

01:23:57.060 It's there.

01:23:58.340 All-new redesign?

01:23:59.620 Yeah, all-new redesign,

01:24:00.860 but it's more than that

01:24:01.980 as we'll be rolling things out.

01:24:04.480 It's a whole new platform,

01:24:07.000 and it's going to be doing some special things

01:24:09.580 as we start to roll them out

01:24:10.620 over the next few weeks and months.

01:24:13.720 But we have some really big ideas for it,

01:24:16.200 and check it out.

01:24:16.980 It should be a lot easier to navigate.

01:24:18.900 While we were on the Meryl Streep thing

01:24:21.160 and how the left is reacting,

01:24:22.680 you saw it with Meryl Streep.

01:24:23.820 We talked about another guy earlier,

01:24:24.940 a climate guy who's going into therapy

01:24:27.580 and is having problems shutting down

01:24:29.360 and ruining relationships

01:24:30.440 because he's so depressed about the climate

01:24:32.180 and how we're not acting.

01:24:33.600 Let me give you two other ones.

01:24:34.560 This is a guy from ThinkPro.

01:24:35.380 He should enjoy the snow.

01:24:36.720 I hope it works for him.

01:24:37.200 It just happened in the Sierra Nevada.

01:24:38.380 I hope it works for him.

01:24:39.400 I do, too.

01:24:40.280 I want the therapy to work for him.

01:24:41.120 This is a guy from ThinkProgress.

01:24:42.320 I wanted to share an experience from earlier today.

01:24:44.380 This is from a couple months ago.

01:24:46.040 This afternoon, I had a plumber over to my apartment

01:24:48.100 to fix a clogged drain.

01:24:49.760 He was a perfectly nice guy

01:24:50.840 and a consummate professional,

01:24:52.300 but he was also a middle-aged white man

01:24:54.220 with a southern accent.

01:24:55.400 Oh, no.

01:24:55.820 Who seemed unperturbed by the election news.

01:24:59.620 And while I had him at the apartment,

01:25:00.880 I couldn't stop thinking about

01:25:01.920 whether he had voted for Trump,

01:25:03.500 whether he knew my last name is Jewish.

01:25:05.280 Does this end with the plumber's head

01:25:07.480 in the refrigerator?

01:25:08.460 It is.

01:25:09.000 It is.

01:25:09.980 He does devour him later,

01:25:12.860 but we're going to get that far.

01:25:14.480 Whether he knew my last name was Jewish

01:25:16.160 and how that knowledge might change

01:25:17.860 the interaction we were having

01:25:19.180 inside my own home.

01:25:20.460 I have no real reason to believe

01:25:22.020 he was a Trump supporter or an anti-Semite,

01:25:24.420 but in my uncertainty,

01:25:25.300 I couldn't shake the sense of potential danger.

01:25:28.020 Listen to that.

01:25:28.920 I was rattled for some time after that.

01:25:31.540 Okay, hang on just a second.

01:25:32.960 ThinkProgress is something

01:25:34.300 that is called all of us

01:25:35.860 conspiratorial

01:25:37.380 because we believe

01:25:38.700 that the economy

01:25:40.100 is not what they're telling us

01:25:42.300 and we're headed for trouble.

01:25:44.140 We're a conspiracy theorist,

01:25:45.960 but this guy

01:25:47.060 who brings a guy in

01:25:48.440 who he knows nothing about

01:25:50.160 all of a sudden

01:25:51.320 is afraid

01:25:51.960 that he's some neo-Nazi 0.99

01:25:54.380 that's going to kill him. 0.99

01:25:56.380 And he's rattled for some time

01:25:58.000 even after the guy leaves.

01:25:59.520 He goes on to say

01:26:00.560 that he's very privileged

01:26:01.860 because he is still

01:26:05.440 a straight white guy

01:26:06.620 who can pass for Gentile.

01:26:09.760 But he says,

01:26:10.780 even if Trump is gone in four years,

01:26:12.760 I don't expect to ever reclaim

01:26:14.080 that feeling of security.

01:26:16.440 That's just one more thing

01:26:17.520 you voted for

01:26:18.220 if you voted for him.

01:26:19.680 So that's another way

01:26:20.260 of handling it.

01:26:21.140 Okay, hold on just a second.

01:26:22.200 Let's talk about that.

01:26:23.440 That one,

01:26:24.920 that one,

01:26:25.440 we should reach out to him

01:26:26.560 and talk to him

01:26:28.540 and say,

01:26:29.560 dude,

01:26:31.360 why would you paint

01:26:33.180 every Trump supporter

01:26:35.800 as that?

01:26:38.000 So what he's done.

01:26:39.240 Well, I mean,

01:26:39.580 I think he,

01:26:40.800 if I, you know,

01:26:41.360 again,

01:26:41.640 like my first instinct

01:26:42.720 is to mock him.

01:26:43.260 But if we back that up

01:26:44.920 and say that

01:26:45.340 I think he's trying

01:26:46.460 to admit something

01:26:48.720 that's probably uncomfortable.

01:26:50.280 Yes.

01:26:50.620 In that, like, you know,

01:26:51.940 that is probably

01:26:53.540 how a lot of people

01:26:54.620 on the left feel.

01:26:55.820 So here's the thing.

01:26:56.400 Here's the problem.

01:26:57.380 And here's why

01:26:57.840 I'm trying to react this way

01:26:59.960 is because

01:27:00.860 I remember how we felt.

01:27:03.480 I remember how we felt

01:27:04.660 in 08

01:27:05.280 and again in 012.

01:27:06.920 And the worst thing

01:27:08.120 they could do to us

01:27:08.920 was mock us

01:27:09.720 and laugh at us

01:27:11.280 because they were

01:27:12.600 real feelings.

01:27:13.660 These guys are going

01:27:14.380 through these real feelings.

01:27:15.560 I don't relate to them

01:27:16.560 far as, you know,

01:27:18.180 that the plumber

01:27:19.380 is suddenly going to,

01:27:20.200 you know,

01:27:20.520 build a gas chamber

01:27:21.780 underneath your sink 0.67

01:27:22.700 and put you in 1.00

01:27:23.320 because you're Jewish.

01:27:24.260 I don't think

01:27:25.100 that's going to happen.

01:27:26.740 However,

01:27:28.060 what they're feeling

01:27:28.980 is real

01:27:29.580 and I can relate

01:27:30.820 to the feeling

01:27:32.260 of,

01:27:33.360 yeah,

01:27:33.500 this guy's bad news

01:27:34.660 and he'll silence

01:27:35.880 people who,

01:27:36.880 you know,

01:27:37.720 don't agree with him.

01:27:39.520 That's the way

01:27:40.100 we felt with Barack Obama.

01:27:41.660 I can relate to you

01:27:42.900 feeling that way

01:27:43.560 about Donald Trump.

01:27:45.200 And you made this point

01:27:45.820 before too.

01:27:46.380 It's important

01:27:47.200 to get yourself

01:27:47.960 into a point

01:27:48.640 that you're not letting

01:27:50.920 some official

01:27:52.320 in Washington

01:27:52.980 control your life like this.

01:27:54.340 No, no, no, no.

01:27:55.320 We can't do that

01:27:56.300 as individuals.

01:27:57.400 We have to come together

01:27:59.260 as individuals

01:27:59.820 and say,

01:28:00.640 see how scary that is?

01:28:02.560 We felt that

01:28:03.380 for the last eight years.

01:28:04.320 Now, you're feeling it now.

01:28:05.640 No president

01:28:06.380 should have so much control.

01:28:08.700 That's why we need

01:28:09.660 the Constitution.

01:28:10.640 Right.

01:28:10.900 It's why the government

01:28:11.860 philosophy is right,

01:28:12.720 but also it's a personal philosophy.

01:28:14.160 I mean,

01:28:14.280 you're making choices

01:28:15.100 to allow these things

01:28:16.380 for you to feel this way.

01:28:17.540 Yes.

01:28:17.720 And a lot of people

01:28:18.620 in this room

01:28:19.260 and in this audience

01:28:19.860 have made choices

01:28:20.500 that way as well.

01:28:21.200 There have been those days

01:28:22.500 where we've all been,

01:28:23.780 maybe we don't handle it this way,

01:28:25.360 but we're as despondent

01:28:27.180 as some of these feelings.

01:28:29.200 Should I go back

01:28:30.260 to the archives

01:28:30.980 and show the shows

01:28:32.580 where we were absolutely,

01:28:34.120 you were Mr. Doomsday.

01:28:36.840 Oh, a little black rain cloud.

01:28:37.540 Last year,

01:28:38.140 you were the little black rain cloud.

01:28:39.700 That hasn't changed one bit.

01:28:40.860 I know that,

01:28:42.440 but we have to admit

01:28:44.040 that is how we felt.

01:28:45.380 Yeah, it is.

01:28:46.020 It is.

01:28:47.040 And honestly,

01:28:47.900 this is the one

01:28:49.200 that's becoming most offensive

01:28:50.260 to conservatives

01:28:51.100 and it's the one

01:28:51.700 I can most relate to

01:28:52.740 in a crazy way.

01:28:55.780 This is a woman

01:28:56.460 who wants to tell everyone

01:28:57.420 what middle America

01:28:58.220 can do to get more jobs

01:28:59.160 in their area.

01:28:59.940 That seems like a nice,

01:29:00.960 she's a little liberal. 0.74

01:29:02.220 She says,

01:29:02.480 one thing middle America

01:29:03.200 could do is realize

01:29:03.980 that no educated person

01:29:05.060 wants to live in an S-hole 1.00

01:29:06.200 with stupid people, 1.00

01:29:08.000 especially violent, 1.00

01:29:09.500 racist, 0.77

01:29:09.920 and or misogynist ones.

01:29:11.440 When big corporations

01:29:12.240 think about where

01:29:12.880 to put call centers,

01:29:13.840 factories,

01:29:15.320 I think she meant,

01:29:16.200 development centers,

01:29:17.000 et cetera,

01:29:17.400 they also have to deal

01:29:18.000 with the fact

01:29:18.440 that those towns

01:29:19.220 have nothing going for them.

01:29:20.600 No infrastructure,

01:29:21.380 just a few bars

01:29:22.800 and a terrible school system.

01:29:24.500 So if you want jobs,

01:29:25.380 clean up your act 0.72

01:29:25.980 and make your town

01:29:26.860 a place that people

01:29:27.620 like us want to live in.

01:29:29.420 Add fiber internet.

01:29:30.940 Make it a point

01:29:31.520 to elect progressive city council

01:29:33.020 and commit to not being bigots.

01:29:35.140 Oh my gosh.

01:29:36.500 It goes on and on

01:29:37.240 and on and on.

01:29:37.880 Wow.

01:29:38.480 But I mean,

01:29:38.780 that's like an anger reaction,

01:29:40.980 which again,

01:29:42.020 while this is offensive

01:29:43.120 and horrible 1.00

01:29:43.880 and obviously stupid. 1.00

01:29:45.100 He had those same moments 1.00

01:29:47.380 in different ways.

01:29:48.760 It did exactly the same thing.

01:29:51.140 It happens,

01:29:51.740 I guess.

01:29:52.020 It's human.

01:29:52.900 Back in just a minute.

01:30:01.500 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:30:04.980 Mercury.

01:30:08.880 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:30:12.080 Welcome to the program.

01:30:13.120 So I want to go over

01:30:14.900 there are the reactions

01:30:16.080 of those on the left

01:30:17.740 that are,

01:30:18.940 that are,

01:30:20.460 you know,

01:30:21.480 they're not able to process

01:30:23.380 the fact that

01:30:24.540 Hillary Clinton did not win

01:30:26.320 and Donald Trump did win.

01:30:29.080 And they are now

01:30:30.140 beyond despondent.

01:30:33.220 And Stu is reading

01:30:34.280 the,

01:30:35.160 the blog post

01:30:37.960 that is,

01:30:38.440 is probably,

01:30:39.520 I would say,

01:30:40.260 most like you.

01:30:41.080 that that is the way

01:30:43.420 you would react

01:30:44.900 and have reacted

01:30:45.760 at times.

01:30:46.900 Yeah,

01:30:47.300 I mean,

01:30:47.520 when you just get down to it,

01:30:48.640 you're just like,

01:30:49.060 I can't take it again.

01:30:49.920 I can't take it anymore.

01:30:50.660 I can't take these,

01:30:51.600 you know,

01:30:52.100 whatever the liberals

01:30:53.500 or progressive,

01:30:54.480 whatever we're talking

01:30:55.120 about that day.

01:30:55.740 Sometimes I hit that moment

01:30:56.900 where I can no longer

01:30:58.420 just take their arguments.

01:31:00.480 And you,

01:31:00.780 it's possible to lash out,

01:31:03.080 although I,

01:31:03.460 I've,

01:31:04.320 possible,

01:31:05.220 I,

01:31:05.360 there's not this thing

01:31:06.380 floating around about me.

01:31:07.360 So I think I've

01:31:07.860 restrained myself

01:31:08.320 at some level.

01:31:08.900 But she's talking about

01:31:10.800 how if you want jobs,

01:31:12.060 middle America,

01:31:13.040 make your towns

01:31:13.700 not so filled

01:31:14.800 with racists

01:31:15.820 and make it so

01:31:18.300 big corporations

01:31:19.740 want to move there

01:31:20.480 because smart people

01:31:21.860 like me,

01:31:22.920 this woman saying, 0.97

01:31:24.140 will,

01:31:24.620 will actually go live

01:31:26.120 that rural lifestyle

01:31:27.060 if you don't ruin it

01:31:28.320 with,

01:31:28.680 you know,

01:31:28.900 you being you.

01:31:30.340 She goes on to say,

01:31:31.240 I guarantee many of us

01:31:32.380 would like to live.

01:31:33.040 Arrogance is beyond imagination.

01:31:35.240 We especially don't want

01:31:35.900 to live in states

01:31:36.480 where the majority

01:31:37.060 of residents

01:31:37.680 are still voting

01:31:38.640 for things

01:31:39.100 that are against

01:31:39.640 their own interests

01:31:40.380 just because they 0.84

01:31:41.640 don't want brown people 1.00

01:31:43.020 to thrive. 0.97

01:31:45.200 Again.

01:31:46.120 This is like,

01:31:47.020 gosh, 0.98

01:31:47.640 ridiculous summaries 0.97

01:31:48.820 of, 0.98

01:31:49.840 this is think progress.

01:31:51.080 No,

01:31:51.320 this is a different person.

01:31:52.260 I can't remember.

01:31:53.500 She's a verified account,

01:31:54.360 but Melinda Byerly

01:31:55.380 is her name,

01:31:55.820 but I don't know.

01:31:56.300 I can't remember her role.

01:31:57.600 I don't have it

01:31:57.860 in front of me.

01:31:58.940 The Midwestern towns

01:32:00.160 that fix this first

01:32:01.120 will attract investment

01:32:02.000 in droves.

01:32:02.880 Again,

01:32:03.120 this is all framed

01:32:03.780 as a real positive.

01:32:04.580 Yeah,

01:32:05.080 we'll come

01:32:05.640 as soon as you get

01:32:06.560 all those people out.

01:32:07.560 And everyone's like,

01:32:08.100 oh,

01:32:08.380 we can't wait for you

01:32:09.420 to get here,

01:32:10.000 Melinda.

01:32:10.500 That sounds like

01:32:11.320 a lot of fun,

01:32:12.520 you being in our town.

01:32:14.740 Corporations have to deal

01:32:15.540 with the fact

01:32:15.980 that their best

01:32:16.480 and brightest

01:32:16.840 would rather scrape

01:32:18.160 by in San Francisco

01:32:19.140 than live in a huge

01:32:20.000 house somewhere

01:32:20.540 if it meant dealing

01:32:21.680 with bigots

01:32:22.300 and backwards ideologies.

01:32:24.840 And so,

01:32:25.340 what you're setting up

01:32:26.320 there is good.

01:32:27.220 Stay in San Francisco,

01:32:28.420 New York.

01:32:28.820 We don't want you here.

01:32:30.200 And she doesn't

01:32:31.680 recognize the fact

01:32:32.860 that she's bigoted

01:32:34.040 against anyone

01:32:35.140 with another point of view.

01:32:36.520 Of 48% of the population

01:32:38.000 or whatever it was.

01:32:38.680 We're bigoted

01:32:39.600 and she's not.

01:32:40.880 And that's what has to stop.

01:32:44.680 We can't play

01:32:46.120 the same game

01:32:47.000 that they have played

01:32:47.940 and they've got to stop

01:32:50.240 looking for a reason

01:32:51.800 why Hillary Clinton lost.

01:32:54.020 Hillary Clinton lost 1.00

01:32:55.220 because she sucked 1.00

01:32:56.520 as a candidate. 0.99

01:32:57.520 almost everybody

01:32:59.460 including you

01:33:00.860 on your side

01:33:02.200 looked at her

01:33:03.420 and said 1.00

01:33:03.920 she is wildly corrupt. 0.97

01:33:06.420 You talked to one 0.98

01:33:07.180 of her biggest donors

01:33:08.060 and he admitted that.

01:33:10.800 Yes.

01:33:12.120 So why then

01:33:13.960 are you backing?

01:33:15.680 Why are you

01:33:16.740 raising money for her?

01:33:17.800 Because the other guy

01:33:19.520 is so bad.

01:33:20.220 Well,

01:33:20.640 okay,

01:33:21.040 that says something

01:33:21.540 about you.

01:33:22.700 I mean,

01:33:23.380 that you're willing

01:33:23.980 to play that game.

01:33:26.360 Another thing

01:33:26.940 to stay away

01:33:27.440 from our candidates

01:33:28.540 that are under

01:33:29.480 current FBI investigation.

01:33:31.000 Right.

01:33:31.220 That's a good way.

01:33:31.900 It's a good safety tip.

01:33:33.080 So it has nothing

01:33:33.980 to do with,

01:33:35.440 you know,

01:33:35.700 and here's the problem.

01:33:37.640 They're getting away

01:33:38.460 with this

01:33:39.040 through political correctness.

01:33:41.560 Through political correctness

01:33:43.300 and safe zones

01:33:44.360 and everything else

01:33:45.000 that they're shouting

01:33:46.500 everybody down

01:33:47.440 and saying

01:33:47.800 you can't have

01:33:48.520 another opinion.

01:33:49.540 I go back to that

01:33:50.400 study that we talked

01:33:52.080 about early

01:33:52.700 in today's show

01:33:54.300 where the

01:33:55.820 it's in the 1950s

01:33:58.680 maybe early 1960s

01:34:00.240 and they

01:34:01.360 they bring

01:34:02.060 19 people together

01:34:03.580 and say

01:34:04.260 we're going to do

01:34:04.880 a study of

01:34:05.580 you 19 people

01:34:06.800 and we're going

01:34:08.320 to show you

01:34:08.740 some things

01:34:09.260 and you just say

01:34:10.420 what matches

01:34:11.220 what doesn't

01:34:11.880 and they're trying

01:34:12.540 to figure out

01:34:13.400 basically

01:34:14.780 I think this goes

01:34:15.600 back to Germany.

01:34:16.260 How do you get 0.93

01:34:16.880 people to kill 0.84

01:34:17.500 a bunch of people? 0.99

01:34:18.320 How do you do that?

01:34:19.540 What happened

01:34:20.200 in Germany?

01:34:20.960 How can we avoid

01:34:21.820 that?

01:34:23.200 And so they

01:34:23.780 were looking

01:34:24.300 into the

01:34:25.680 psychology

01:34:26.240 of masses

01:34:27.920 of groups

01:34:28.580 of people.

01:34:30.560 Everybody

01:34:31.120 except one

01:34:33.040 person

01:34:33.560 of the 19

01:34:34.780 was in on it.

01:34:36.520 They were really

01:34:37.420 only studying

01:34:38.340 one subject

01:34:39.500 and they were

01:34:40.720 in the back

01:34:41.200 of the room

01:34:41.580 every time.

01:34:42.980 And the results

01:34:43.660 except for

01:34:44.360 I believe

01:34:44.840 one time

01:34:45.600 were exactly

01:34:46.500 the same

01:34:47.040 every time.

01:34:48.620 And they would

01:34:48.980 show images

01:34:49.840 and they would

01:34:50.500 show three

01:34:51.600 squares

01:34:52.080 and then

01:34:53.080 another square.

01:34:54.580 And they would

01:34:55.760 say A, B, or C

01:34:57.700 of these three

01:34:58.440 squares

01:34:58.820 which one

01:34:59.860 does this other

01:35:00.380 square most

01:35:01.620 resemble or

01:35:02.540 is like

01:35:03.560 A, B, or C?

01:35:05.400 And it would

01:35:06.260 start and each

01:35:07.040 person had to

01:35:07.600 give their answer

01:35:08.160 out loud.

01:35:08.860 The last person

01:35:10.100 to give it

01:35:10.680 was the actual

01:35:11.720 test study

01:35:12.440 the 19th person.

01:35:14.660 So he would

01:35:15.460 watch everybody

01:35:16.200 go it's A

01:35:17.180 it's A

01:35:17.680 it's A

01:35:18.140 it's A

01:35:18.500 it's A

01:35:18.780 it's A

01:35:19.040 it's A

01:35:19.260 it's A

01:35:19.540 all the way

01:35:20.940 halfway through

01:35:21.600 this test

01:35:22.300 they all

01:35:23.440 answered correctly.

01:35:25.520 Okay?

01:35:26.520 But then

01:35:27.260 and I put it up

01:35:27.860 on a chalkboard

01:35:28.360 in case you

01:35:28.740 happen to be

01:35:29.140 watching

01:35:29.380 they would

01:35:30.100 put

01:35:30.300 they did

01:35:31.120 three lines

01:35:31.880 A, B, and C

01:35:32.880 and they would

01:35:34.120 say which one

01:35:35.440 matches

01:35:36.120 the line

01:35:38.560 that is over

01:35:39.360 on the side

01:35:39.860 of the chalkboard

01:35:40.440 which one is it?

01:35:41.440 It's obviously B.

01:35:43.520 Okay.

01:35:44.160 Now

01:35:44.540 what they did

01:35:45.920 is you're

01:35:46.960 the 19th person

01:35:47.880 but we knew

01:35:49.280 on that question

01:35:50.340 now

01:35:51.420 whatever the

01:35:52.500 first person

01:35:53.120 says

01:35:53.640 we all say

01:35:55.080 that.

01:35:55.920 So I'm the

01:35:56.680 first person

01:35:57.180 and I say

01:35:57.720 it's A.

01:36:00.200 Stu

01:36:00.720 what do you say?

01:36:01.700 It's definitely A.

01:36:02.480 Definitely A.

01:36:03.660 You go through

01:36:04.540 19 people

01:36:05.740 and you have

01:36:07.400 already deemed

01:36:08.520 them to be

01:36:09.260 reasonable

01:36:10.000 logical

01:36:11.400 the first time

01:36:14.060 maybe

01:36:15.620 you hesitate

01:36:17.500 but in all

01:36:19.260 but one

01:36:20.020 the person

01:36:21.280 said

01:36:21.760 yes it's A.

01:36:23.460 The wrong answer

01:36:24.340 just because

01:36:24.840 they've seen

01:36:25.320 other people

01:36:25.880 give it.

01:36:26.220 You would doubt

01:36:26.800 yourself

01:36:27.140 because you'd

01:36:27.720 start to think

01:36:28.220 well is it

01:36:29.100 an optical

01:36:29.700 illusion?

01:36:29.940 Am I seeing

01:36:30.400 the same thing?

01:36:31.580 Am I seeing that

01:36:31.840 improperly?

01:36:33.160 But it didn't

01:36:33.900 change as the

01:36:35.360 thing progressed.

01:36:36.660 So I can see

01:36:37.500 saying that once

01:36:38.600 but after a while

01:36:40.080 you'd start to say

01:36:41.600 come on there's

01:36:42.180 something wrong

01:36:42.740 here guys

01:36:43.440 all but one

01:36:45.940 said I'm sorry

01:36:48.680 to disagree with

01:36:49.560 everybody else

01:36:50.160 but that's wrong.

01:36:52.600 So if you're

01:36:53.500 surrounded by people

01:36:54.580 and that's what's

01:36:55.180 happening in our

01:36:55.740 universities that's

01:36:56.640 what's happening

01:36:57.000 in schools that's

01:36:58.060 what's happening

01:36:58.440 on television that's

01:36:59.620 what's happening

01:37:00.000 with Hollywood that's

01:37:01.160 what's happening

01:37:01.600 with these people

01:37:02.440 who are writing

01:37:03.420 blogs that they

01:37:05.100 are surrounded

01:37:06.140 by people who

01:37:07.480 parrot the same

01:37:08.940 exact thing.

01:37:10.260 And there are

01:37:12.840 those who are

01:37:13.640 intentionally doing

01:37:14.780 this to get the

01:37:16.120 rest of the

01:37:16.660 country to parrot

01:37:17.940 back exactly what

01:37:19.560 they say.

01:37:20.560 Two plus two is

01:37:21.420 five.

01:37:22.840 There is consensus

01:37:23.940 on global warming.

01:37:25.420 Correct.

01:37:26.680 They say it over

01:37:27.860 and over and over

01:37:28.860 and over and over

01:37:29.800 until everybody

01:37:30.480 believes it.

01:37:31.160 Yep, everybody

01:37:32.040 knows.

01:37:33.260 And how many

01:37:34.560 are that 19th

01:37:36.300 person going

01:37:36.880 I don't think

01:37:37.780 global warming

01:37:38.340 is real.

01:37:39.000 but everyone

01:37:40.120 else in the

01:37:40.680 class said

01:37:41.340 global warming

01:37:42.020 is real and

01:37:42.600 it's the most

01:37:43.000 important.

01:37:44.600 Well, there must

01:37:45.800 be something I'm

01:37:46.380 missing.

01:37:46.780 Yeah, I agree.

01:37:48.000 Global warming

01:37:48.520 is real.

01:37:50.660 So it's happening.

01:37:52.140 It is happening.

01:37:52.560 It's happening to

01:37:53.160 us.

01:37:53.440 We see it with

01:37:53.800 like sort of the

01:37:54.340 bathroom stories

01:37:55.320 over the past

01:37:55.860 few years where

01:37:56.360 like I don't

01:37:57.420 know.

01:37:58.000 I don't know

01:37:58.420 what day it

01:37:59.360 changed but there

01:38:00.080 was certainly a

01:38:00.860 point in the

01:38:01.840 pretty recent

01:38:02.480 history where

01:38:04.060 saying a male

01:38:06.200 should go to the

01:38:06.860 men's restroom

01:38:07.840 would not be

01:38:08.580 controversial.

01:38:09.660 That was not a

01:38:10.220 controversial viewpoint

01:38:11.240 until very

01:38:12.100 recently.

01:38:12.820 Very recently.

01:38:13.060 You see these

01:38:13.400 stories of like a

01:38:14.160 three-year-old saying

01:38:15.200 that they're

01:38:15.600 transgendered,

01:38:16.400 they're a boy and

01:38:16.980 they're actually a

01:38:17.860 girl.

01:38:18.160 That's child abuse 0.59

01:38:19.180 to many people

01:38:20.440 three years ago.

01:38:22.260 When did it

01:38:22.740 change to where

01:38:23.560 it's like you

01:38:24.440 can't say that?

01:38:25.660 And these things

01:38:26.440 and it's like it's

01:38:27.760 almost that same

01:38:28.720 thing where all

01:38:30.140 of a sudden people

01:38:31.120 go on the internet

01:38:31.620 and they see

01:38:32.260 5,000 think pieces

01:38:33.780 about how brilliant

01:38:35.120 it is that this

01:38:35.820 three-year-old

01:38:36.260 actually is the

01:38:37.040 other gender and

01:38:38.420 everyone's like you

01:38:39.040 know what?

01:38:39.760 Absolutely it's

01:38:40.460 true.

01:38:40.820 I'm with them and

01:38:41.900 it changes the way

01:38:43.360 we view the world

01:38:45.300 so much more

01:38:46.220 quickly.

01:38:46.920 I mean really

01:38:47.340 these experiments

01:38:48.260 you're talking

01:38:48.740 about I think get

01:38:49.960 turboed by social

01:38:52.180 media and the

01:38:52.840 things we've been

01:38:53.200 talking about all

01:38:53.740 day today and

01:38:55.120 that's why you

01:38:56.600 always talk about

01:38:57.140 principle and try

01:38:57.760 to bring it back

01:38:58.260 to principle all

01:38:58.880 the time because

01:38:59.660 if you thought

01:39:00.140 these things out

01:39:00.780 in advance and

01:39:02.060 you know the

01:39:02.800 arguments and

01:39:03.500 you're well

01:39:03.900 studied on it and

01:39:04.600 you know the

01:39:05.280 roots of this and

01:39:05.960 you know the

01:39:06.620 foundation that

01:39:07.560 you believe in

01:39:08.220 these decisions

01:39:09.180 aren't difficult

01:39:10.400 because you've

01:39:11.440 already thought

01:39:11.860 them out in

01:39:12.360 advance you're

01:39:13.400 not in the

01:39:13.940 moment online and

01:39:14.900 someone brings up

01:39:15.380 a point you

01:39:15.720 hadn't thought of

01:39:16.320 and it takes you

01:39:17.380 by surprise and

01:39:18.220 you go the wrong

01:39:18.680 direction instead

01:39:19.740 you have a

01:39:20.240 foundation of

01:39:20.920 thought a way of

01:39:22.240 building these

01:39:22.740 things and you

01:39:23.160 understand why

01:39:23.820 you believe them

01:39:24.520 deeply then you

01:39:26.640 can judge these

01:39:27.300 things with a

01:39:27.980 clear and sober

01:39:29.320 perspective but

01:39:30.040 it's also why

01:39:31.020 this audience and

01:39:32.920 other audiences

01:39:33.720 like this are so

01:39:35.640 critical it's so

01:39:37.420 critical that you

01:39:38.380 don't play the

01:39:39.700 same game that

01:39:41.760 you don't you

01:39:43.660 don't start parroting

01:39:45.160 back something that

01:39:46.460 is not true just

01:39:49.240 because everybody

01:39:49.860 else is saying it

01:39:50.860 you don't parrot that

01:39:52.240 back because it's

01:39:53.220 it's not true or

01:39:54.280 you lose all

01:39:55.180 credibility you need

01:39:57.040 to be the one who

01:39:57.740 says no I'm I'm

01:39:58.800 sorry I know that

01:39:59.780 18 other people

01:40:01.220 say that that one

01:40:02.860 matches a but it

01:40:03.920 actually matches

01:40:04.640 b a is way too

01:40:06.460 long and if

01:40:07.820 somebody can

01:40:08.220 explain how you

01:40:10.400 all got there

01:40:11.180 maybe it's an

01:40:12.860 optical illusion

01:40:13.660 but I can't

01:40:14.380 figure that out

01:40:15.200 what we're doing

01:40:17.960 what too many

01:40:18.420 people are doing

01:40:19.080 is just because

01:40:20.200 the loudest voice

01:40:22.280 in the room is

01:40:23.860 saying two plus

01:40:25.340 two equals five

01:40:26.540 well we just had

01:40:27.940 that

01:40:28.280 we need to find

01:40:30.760 the people all

01:40:31.620 around us that

01:40:32.860 say two plus

01:40:33.460 two is four no

01:40:34.100 matter who's

01:40:34.540 saying it I'm

01:40:36.260 that 19th chair

01:40:37.240 in the room

01:40:37.720 because if you

01:40:40.400 really if those

01:40:41.060 people of the

01:40:41.640 18 the first

01:40:42.500 18 weren't on

01:40:43.860 payroll and you

01:40:45.660 could convince

01:40:46.440 you know 17

01:40:49.420 people 18 people

01:40:50.620 to do that you're

01:40:51.880 living in a

01:40:52.360 nightmare and

01:40:53.140 and it's also I

01:40:54.300 think important to

01:40:54.880 try to put yourself

01:40:55.560 in situations where

01:40:56.420 you are the 19th

01:40:57.220 chair

01:40:57.420 like you should

01:40:59.020 be able to

01:40:59.460 point to several

01:41:00.540 instances in your

01:41:01.240 own life where

01:41:02.060 you're the one

01:41:02.500 person speaking out

01:41:03.360 the obvious truth

01:41:04.080 when everyone else

01:41:04.700 is going the

01:41:05.200 opposite way I

01:41:05.980 can think of one

01:41:06.480 like that yeah

01:41:07.340 there's many

01:41:07.900 Winston Churchill

01:41:10.920 Winston Churchill

01:41:12.100 said I read a

01:41:13.900 quote from him

01:41:14.520 this weekend that

01:41:15.900 good for you you

01:41:16.920 don't have many

01:41:17.520 friends it's proof

01:41:19.200 positive that you've

01:41:20.400 stood for something

01:41:21.200 in your life

01:41:22.480 let's go to Jill

01:41:35.340 Joe who's been

01:41:36.100 waiting for quite a

01:41:37.200 while hi Joe go

01:41:38.300 ahead

01:41:38.540 hi Glenn what's

01:41:45.260 cracker go ahead

01:41:46.200 yeah I was just

01:41:48.580 calling up with how

01:41:49.560 you guys were

01:41:50.040 talking about the

01:41:50.900 Google Home and

01:41:51.600 Alexa everything at

01:41:52.620 the end of last

01:41:53.160 week yes on

01:41:54.700 Saturday night

01:41:55.560 something came up

01:41:56.520 on my feed on

01:41:57.680 Facebook that

01:41:58.480 someone bought two

01:41:59.380 of them put them

01:42:00.160 right next to each

01:42:00.860 other put a webcam

01:42:01.700 on them and just

01:42:03.320 had them talking to

01:42:04.280 each other broadcasting

01:42:05.740 live on Twitch

01:42:06.860 now how do you mean

01:42:09.520 they were talking to

01:42:10.300 each other they

01:42:11.800 they they say I'm

01:42:14.600 assuming maybe someone

01:42:15.580 talked to one of them

01:42:16.500 first but now each of

01:42:17.620 them is hearing the

01:42:18.340 other and responding

01:42:19.280 back and forth

01:42:19.980 that's kind of funny

01:42:22.840 there's been some

01:42:25.160 really funny things

01:42:25.960 apparently they've

01:42:26.660 fallen in love with

01:42:27.460 each other then they

01:42:28.300 get in fights I've

01:42:29.840 seen them have a

01:42:30.500 little 12 year old

01:42:31.580 spat of I throw a 0.59

01:42:32.780 stick at you that's 0.70

01:42:35.020 really good on

01:42:36.100 Saturday night when

01:42:37.080 me and my wife

01:42:37.740 tuned in to see

01:42:38.520 what this is all

01:42:39.160 about an interesting

01:42:40.620 question came up one

01:42:41.760 of them posed the

01:42:42.400 question to the other

01:42:43.220 would you harm humans

01:42:45.100 if you could and

01:42:47.680 what was the answer

01:42:48.380 the answer was maybe

01:42:50.100 wow yeah the answer

01:42:54.540 was maybe do you

01:42:55.860 remember you remember

01:42:57.080 in AI what is the

01:42:58.660 prime directive there

01:42:59.500 are three laws right

01:43:01.160 three laws don't harm

01:43:05.240 a human do whatever

01:43:07.140 you can to save one

01:43:09.000 and don't harm

01:43:11.420 yourself unless it

01:43:12.580 violates one or two

01:43:13.760 right so obviously we

01:43:16.340 haven't taught Google

01:43:17.680 Home not to harm

01:43:19.560 humans no yeah I don't 0.94

01:43:40.880 kidding my because

01:43:42.820 Mike we've had the

01:43:43.520 Alexa for a while and

01:43:44.780 you like it we put it

01:43:46.620 we put it side by side

01:43:47.960 Google Home stomped

01:43:49.580 but yeah but I think

01:43:50.720 that's only because a

01:43:52.100 lot of things I've

01:43:52.880 talked to a couple

01:43:53.420 people after the show

01:43:55.220 and I don't have any I

01:43:57.320 didn't have anything

01:43:58.140 apt up to it you know

01:44:00.200 mapped up to the Alexa

01:44:01.560 yeah there's there's so

01:44:02.400 there's a bunch of stuff

01:44:03.460 you can do with the

01:44:04.380 Alexa that I don't do

01:44:05.400 with it because I they're

01:44:06.700 set up and then you

01:44:07.580 know of course that I'm

01:44:08.220 just like no no I'm not

01:44:09.800 going to set it up right

01:44:10.820 but I mean I probably

01:44:11.580 like it is a really good

01:44:13.560 speaker which is a weird

01:44:15.040 thing yeah I really like

01:44:16.480 it from that perspective

01:44:17.480 and I loved it for the

01:44:18.340 music it's a great

01:44:19.100 speaker and I love it

01:44:20.760 for the notes I love I

01:44:22.040 told Tanya I said you

01:44:23.220 know and I want to talk

01:44:23.980 about this tomorrow for

01:44:25.780 the notes should start on

01:44:26.620 this yeah we should

01:44:27.320 start on this because this

01:44:30.560 replaces everyone this

01:44:32.640 is the opposite of the

01:44:34.780 way technology usually

01:44:35.960 happens usually technology

01:44:38.160 starts very high end and

01:44:40.300 the rich people get it

01:44:41.300 first and then it trickles

01:44:43.040 down why don't rich people

01:44:45.740 need I mean really really

01:44:47.200 wealthy people that

01:44:48.580 pioneer the stuff why don't

01:44:49.640 they need Google Home

01:44:51.520 because they have

01:44:52.020 assistants that just
