00:04:29.200 and i'm just opening up the phones what did we miss this week what are you feeling this week what's

00:04:34.480 the important story this week there's so much going on every single day uh but let me give you a couple

00:04:40.560 of things um the s p has dropped esg scale from its debt ratings that is huge absolutely huge uh

00:04:51.280 we have the wildfires that are still going on uh in hawaii and uh mercury one is there

00:04:59.920 the whole staff was like why why are we just sending money over to relief agencies over there

00:05:05.680 when churches why why can't we go over and help oh i'm on to you um we're making sure that uh hawaii

00:05:13.200 has exactly what they need we're sending over aid we're sending over uh whatever it is they need and

00:05:19.680 it's all because of you you can donate now at mercuryone.org mercuryone.org you know uh

00:05:26.800 i won't ever go back to hawaii um because of the way i'm treated because it's not like i'm going

00:05:34.880 over there for a convention i'm usually going over there for a vacation with my family i've only done

00:05:38.640 it twice um and it's beautiful i love it i love it however um the way i'm treated on the street by the

00:05:48.240 average person i mean we've been accosted twice in a park uh on the beach i mean it's just horrible

00:05:55.680 however hawaii is part of us and i don't care who you voted for and anything that we can do to help

00:06:03.680 the people of hawaii let's let's show them that we're not the monsters they think we are uh let's

00:06:09.840 help them in their hour of need uh and just love them mercuryone.org that's mercuryone.org all right um

00:06:21.440 i want to give you this story from charles schwab today

00:06:26.160 now this is why my book is called a dark future because schwab and his teams of technocrats

00:06:36.640 uh have a different future imagined for us but it's one where you have to do very very little

00:06:43.600 even vote you don't have to vote um let's just see if this is pure evil to you according to klaus schwab

00:06:50.880 we will soon have the technology so advanced that it will eliminate the need for elections

00:06:58.160 yeah oh the algorithm tells us exactly who you want to vote for so you don't have to vote

00:07:03.920 digital i'm quoting digital technologies mainly have an analytic analytical power so we can now go

00:07:11.760 into predictive power the next step could be go into prescriptive mode which means you don't even

00:07:18.000 have to have elections anymore because the algorithm can predict it wow that's weird maybe that's why

00:07:27.040 everyone you know we thought they were cheating we thought they were cheating maybe the democrats just

00:07:32.880 know this predictive power and they just know how the elections are going to turn out and that's why

00:07:39.280 they're not worried because of the predictive power uh why do we even why do we even need elections

00:07:47.360 because we know what the result will be can you imagine such a world yes yes actually klaus i can

00:07:55.840 and it's a dark dark world a dark future where you know men who had a very loving nazi father

00:08:04.240 are running the world and uh i think that's uh super special run for your lives the next thing that i

00:08:10.960 want to share with you is dark future the book this is the kind of stuff that we talk about and it is

00:08:17.840 we haven't even scratched the surface i got to get back to showing you some of the things that are in

00:08:22.480 the later part of the book where they are they are designing everything for us and you will love it

00:08:28.960 a prediction machine says you'll love it um dark future now in its what fourth or fifth week on the

00:08:37.200 new york times list is ranked at number 13 fine i've never had a book except my first book

00:08:45.920 debut outside of the top 10 they used to say oh it's number two it's number three but never out of

00:08:53.280 the top 10 um and especially when you can match the numbers so why is this a big deal i believe i may

00:09:02.720 have a lawsuit against the new york times because they are intentionally keeping my book out of the top

00:09:10.480 10 why because all of the bookstores and everything else they they buy books and place books according

00:09:20.720 to the new york times list so when barnes and noble sees that my book is at number 13 they don't order

00:09:27.920 more or move it to the front so i'm exposed to fewer all every airport they only cover the new york times

00:09:38.000 top 10 so when you're getting onto a plane you go and look for a book my book isn't an option in the

00:09:44.080 airport this is hurting my business let alone the truth so here's what happened uh if the list were

00:09:52.640 determined by raw sales alone this is a story from the glenbeck.com dark future would have been ranked

00:09:59.200 number seven on the list this week now greg gutfield who i love his book the king of late night

00:10:06.320 has fewer sales than dark future and it continues to outrank dark future in the number five slot

00:10:13.440 the current new york times best-selling non-fiction list excludes several books now that outperform the

00:10:20.240 top rankers on the list for example granger smith's faith-based non-fiction book like a river is excluded

00:10:28.160 entirely from the list even though it is twice has twice the number of sales as the number one

00:10:36.160 one book on the new york times so why is this faith-based non-fiction book not number one on the new york

00:10:44.160 times not even on the new york times the number one spot outlive by uh peter atta uh is uh also

00:10:54.480 is it has far fewer sales than these books um chadwick moore's new biography of tucker carlson

00:11:04.240 which he was on talking about it's a great book excluded from the list even though it outranks

00:11:12.080 gutfield's king of late night now why is that james patterson brought this up he holds the guinness

00:11:19.520 world records of the number one the most number one new york times bestsellers he said the new york

00:11:26.240 times list is inaccurate well i think it's beyond inaccurate um he said that they are derailing

00:11:35.600 uh all of these books they're derailing anything that they don't agree with and that is costing

00:11:42.240 authors money and the truth exposure our bestseller list according to the new york times based on

00:11:49.920 detailed analysis of book sales from a wide range of retailers tens of thousands of brick and mortar

00:11:57.360 stores of all sizes and numerous online book selling vendors to best represent what is selling across

00:12:04.400 america no wait a minute what's selling across america is showing in the raw numbers

00:12:11.680 okay that's how it used to be a mystery you'd have to call all the bookstores and that's what new

00:12:17.600 york time did how many sales blah blah blah now it's not now you can do books from every store and

00:12:25.120 every outlet in america they are purposely doing this to suppress the truth anybody see um ben shapiro

00:12:34.640 just did a special on the world economic forum covers the same things that we've been covering for a long

00:12:39.440 time and did a really good job on it did you notice that he's been demonetized for that

00:12:46.880 why to make sure that nobody makes any money on this and the next thing is to suppress the truth

00:12:58.320 this gotta stop it has got to stop but if you read dark future you will see why they're doing this and how

00:13:07.840 they're doing this they have to shut these people up they have to be able to shut up anyone who is

00:13:14.560 saying i don't like uh you know uh a bold men who love their really special nazi father

00:13:22.240 no uh-uh i don't think the guy who loves his nazi father uh should be the guy designing the world i'm

00:13:29.280 just saying especially a world without elections we will have predictive methods you listen to my

00:13:35.760 voice you will vote my way no thank you no thank you if you don't base it on raw sales sales as

00:13:44.560 patterson said raw numbers then you're cooking the numbers and that's what the new york times is doing

00:13:51.760 and i have always felt that they're doing it just because they don't like conservatives and they don't

00:13:56.880 want us to have number one best sellers but there's a reason my book has been

00:14:03.520 number one way out running any of the other books on the new york times

00:14:09.520 and i'm not even on the top 10 there's a reason for that

00:14:17.120 all right our sponsor this half hour by the way you can get the book wherever books are sold uh you

00:14:22.000 can also get them at bookshop those are the brick and mortar the mom and pop stores which i really

00:14:26.800 want to support but they're also the one this new york times says they count they count double they

00:14:32.480 count double for sales on the new york times list i'm telling you i could be number one at bookshop.org

00:14:38.160 and it still won't matter but if you want to buy it from some mom and pop store and which i really

00:14:43.520 support uh go to bookshop.org that's bookshop.org or you can get a barnes and noble amazon or wherever

00:17:41.440 beginning i would look at you right before a show and i'd say i think i'm about to vomit yes that was

00:18:40.640 question at all uh that he was going to ask that question do i ever get nervous no yeah that was one

00:18:45.280 question he sort of asked when you took him off guard and i started asking about his personal

00:18:49.520 life for some bizarre reason let's see how call number two goes with tim uh tim welcome to the

00:18:54.560 program hi thanks for taking my call i just know that uh six months ago or so glenn supported the idea

00:19:03.040 of keeping our uh coal fire power plant in delta utah going and we uh at our state senate look into that

00:19:11.440 and they passed a resolution to do something about it and since then i have not been able to find out

00:19:16.960 what's going on with it i just wanted to know if glenn knew anything about that i do know something about

00:19:22.560 it uh and i think uh i i don't know where it stands so i don't want to um i don't want to beat anybody to

00:19:30.720 the punch um but from what i understand some things are being done and you are really i think you're going to

00:19:39.280 really really like it i think utah may be one of the leaders uh out of this madness and this darkness

00:19:47.360 if they're doing what i think they're doing so we'll keep you up to date you kind of got your

00:19:54.400 finger on it then yeah i got my finger on it yeah i got my finger on it i'm watching it and uh i just

00:20:01.360 haven't checked in for about i don't know about a month uh i got a phone call on it a couple of weeks

00:20:07.680 ago but it was obliquely talking about that and i think things are progressing very well

00:20:13.680 all right let's go to larry larry welcome to the glenbeck program

00:20:16.720 how do you know he was done because we had hung up on him already

00:20:24.720 larry in louisiana thank you so much for your service to the country i don't know if you understand

00:20:31.920 how important you really are to us i'm a conservative um i was in the air force uh i'm

00:20:38.400 now 75 years old running up a fruit farm down here and trying to get by it in this by them

00:20:45.040 like army but the problem i see guys is much worse than anybody's talking about we've given up

00:20:54.400 conservatives in america the religious people of america we've pretty much given up

00:21:00.800 we realize how bad the republicans are even as bad as the democrats unfortunately

00:21:08.000 washington's just a cesspool i think it's lost i don't think that there's a way to get it back

00:21:14.160 the republicans aren't trying to change the election balloting system or anything and we're just very very

00:21:21.040 sad and frustrated so i agree with you i don't know if you heard this song i'm gonna play a song that

00:21:26.800 has just become viral overnight this guy went from i have no idea who he is uh to just a sensation

00:21:35.200 because he's saying the things that i think people are feeling and you'll relate to it however here's what

00:21:42.720 i would uh suggest to you if you do give up and i don't think you are but if you do give up uh then we are

00:21:51.520 lost then it is inevitable that's what they've been trying to do to you since 2008 to wear you out to

00:21:57.280 frustrate you to teach you to sit down and shut up um we can't do that uh and if you are frustrated 0.50

00:22:05.840 washington i join you with that that's why i highly recommend are you on a school board are you on your

00:22:14.160 town council are you part of the zoning committee have you talked to your governor are you campaigning

00:22:21.040 for the right kind of small government people in your own state if we save america it will be one

00:22:28.160 state at a time make sure you're active in local and state politics don't give up the future is bright

00:22:37.840 it's going to be a schlog getting there but that's the price of freedom the glenn back program

00:22:46.960 all right you sick freak let me tell you about a relief factor michael wrote in about his experience

00:22:57.840 a living that said i've had severe arthritis now for 25 years i've tried everything and nothing worked

00:23:52.160 dark future screw the new york times buy it anyway it's available at glenn's new book.com or wherever

00:24:04.880 you get your books we have something really really earth-shattering happening on monday's podcast

00:24:20.880 tucker carlson show was the largest platform i had to speak to uh to date this is tarik johnson

00:24:29.440 when i was called to do the show i was stunned this was back in late february and i was still

00:24:35.040 trying to figure out the best way to navigate through the situation do you know who tarik johnson

00:24:40.080 is he's the black uh police officer who uh tucker had interviewed who said no this was this is not what

00:24:49.440 they say it was he said when i got to florida and i spoke to tucker off camera i didn't tell him much

00:24:56.060 more than he already knew and the reason was i didn't want to be the center of this controversy

00:25:01.400 i wanted just to say enough to spark an investigation into the actions of assistant chief

00:25:07.040 uganda uganda or whatever you got not a pitman and chief thomas manger i just wanted to move on

00:25:15.780 but i wanted an investigation thinking back on it now there was no way i couldn't be the center of

00:25:22.800 all of this and i should have told tucker everything uh that i knew and let him decide what uh would air

00:25:30.620 he goes on to this and uh he talks about how there is a cover-up who was responsible what really

00:25:38.880 happened and he regrets not saying it well we reached out to tarik um a couple of i think about

00:25:46.840 a week ago and he is going to tell all the full truth and nothing but the truth uh on monday's

00:25:55.340 program he really regrets he really thought so naive uh i was exactly like this in 2006 he really thought

00:26:05.960 if you exposed what really was going on people would do their homework and uh you know somebody

00:26:12.240 in the press would uh take it and you just needed to give him some breadcrumbs they don't care about

00:26:18.920 breadcrumbs they're not hungry they're not looking for breadcrumbs they're with the witch in the candy

00:26:24.460 house so forget about that am i mixing metaphors there is that right breadcrumbs hansel and gretel and

00:26:32.940 were they the ones put in the oven by the witch in the candy house i'm not sure anymore uh all right

00:26:39.500 our phone is 888-727-BECK-888-727-BECK let's go to kenny in texas kenny welcome to the glenbeck

00:26:47.320 program hi how y'all doing um so my question is why there's more being talked about uh back in 2014

00:26:57.480 minsk protocol mix too uh in my opinion we u.s has

00:27:02.980 greatly involved in this war as we know um you know i i feel our government as well as russian

00:27:12.480 government is equally well ours more to blame uh i've been to russia many times i have a russian wife

00:27:21.620 uh i i know the american people and the russian people are very good people

00:27:25.860 i just know the governments aren't so i mean i agree more a lot more uh investigated into

00:27:34.480 uh victoria newland back in 2014 we have made on these agreements yeah um you know there's like

00:27:42.080 judgment calitano uh interviews with mcgregor stock stock ritter ray mcgovern yeah yeah it's

00:27:48.320 the other side of the story that we don't hear on the mainstream media and we'll never hear

00:27:52.260 so and it's it's programs like you i've been listening to you and rush and live in for years

00:27:59.040 and years uh so no i'm i'm up on this stuff but but we need to hear more of of these sides and and

00:28:07.340 what you know we went to vietnam iraq afghanistan i mean you know a lot of these things didn't need to

00:28:13.700 happen i know and i and i agree with you thank you sir you for your call um i agree with you that uh

00:28:20.420 we need to have more investigation but you brought up a very important name victoria newland 0.96

00:28:26.460 she is she's been involved in this ukraine russia thing for a decade at least um she has been a main

00:28:37.120 player in this and you know um biden comes out what does he want another 45 million or it's 24 billion

00:28:45.320 24 billion yes yeah 24 billion dollars he wants he's only asking for four for the border but 24

00:28:52.620 billion another 24 billion we don't know what happened to the other money we don't know what

00:28:58.240 happened to our you know they're finding u.s arms that we sent in ukraine in africa what happened to

00:29:06.140 those who's making money on that who sold those arms before we give them another dime those questions

00:29:13.580 should be asked especially because i think our last caller is exactly right america doesn't know

00:29:20.600 what's going on over there and i am convinced because of what was happening with victoria newland

00:29:27.820 and all of the other bidens and the biden scandal burisma even uh their current president

00:29:35.640 there is a money laundering system here and uh we are inching closer and closer to world war three

00:29:45.160 every single day and nobody is paying attention to it and i refuse to send my son my daughter or

00:29:52.160 anybody in my family to a slaughterhouse for what for what to completely collapse the system and put it

00:30:01.560 into the hands of people like biden and klaus schwab no i don't uh i'm sorry i don't i don't think i'm

00:30:06.320 going to play that game uh all right uh who's next on the phone uh let's go to rich in florida rich

00:30:15.640 welcome to the glenn beck program thanks guys glenn i grew up in west haven connecticut i just want to

00:30:21.440 say banana suit tommy case video

00:30:24.600 classic throwback somebody if somebody if you don't know what that is that is a flashback from

00:30:32.940 what 30 years ago or so i did a uh a fundraiser in a banana suit uh and we took a pool and we filled

00:30:42.840 it with uh styrofoam chips and we were the biggest bowl of cereal uh trying to raise money for food banks

00:30:50.000 i'm so glad i'm past the banana suit era anyway but you looked great anyway thank you i'm a trump

00:30:58.980 guy i voted for trump last time but yeah i vote for him again there's a lot that he says i agree

00:31:05.220 with some things he says i don't agree with but i'll still vote for him again i feel the same way

00:31:10.140 with rfk jr oddly enough there's a lot he says i agree with i'm sure there's things he says i don't

00:31:15.680 agree but i wonder what you think what are the real negatives with rfk because he seems actually

00:31:19.700 independent even though he's a democrat but he seems like yeah kind of doing his own thing

00:31:23.220 right don't be fooled don't be don't be fooled um by the way i hope to have him on a podcast

00:31:31.000 with me in the next few weeks when i return back to dallas i know we've been talking uh and trying

00:31:38.200 to figure something out of time that we can both uh meet and do an hour 90 minute sit down um let me

00:31:46.060 just tell you personally my experience with rfk and it's not going to affect the interview because

00:31:51.460 everybody has threatened my life uh he it seems he had at one point in the early 2000s when i was on

00:32:00.700 cnn um he was on my show he called me a traitor said i should be tried for treason and executed

00:32:09.380 because of my view on global warming is that not right he didn't say he said you should he said it was

00:32:15.340 you and rush limbaugh by the way that should be uh both convicted of treason and his word was i

00:32:21.040 believe treated as a traitor um which of course we all know is legitimately in the constitution exactly

00:32:27.380 what happens to them yeah you're executed so uh and he repeated and doubled down on that and

00:32:32.980 you know we all say stupid things i you know i i'm more forgiving apparently than the fbi is on

00:32:40.240 things like that um however um uh that's not the reason i disagree with him he has a very fascistic

00:32:49.220 streak to him uh and we are entering a time where people are looking for common sense and they're

00:32:55.880 looking for somebody who will just say i'll take care of it he will take care of it but he will also

00:33:01.620 double down on global warming uh he is he is not a guy that believes in freedom like he believes in

00:33:09.960 you know i don't have to take a vax if i don't want to take a vax i love him because he doesn't he

00:33:15.700 doesn't trust the fbi at all i mean wait until you hear his story uh about when he heard his father

00:33:23.640 uh take the phone call that rfk uh senior received from hoover and said your brother is in the hospital

00:33:34.740 then called back and said your brother is dead wait until you hear his experience he has a reason not

00:33:41.280 to believe the fbi and so i appreciate that he's right on many things but be very very careful he is

00:33:48.720 a statist uh and believes in freedom of speech as long as you agree with him yeah very true and i

00:33:56.460 will say too the difference between because i think a lot of people feel that way about trump and

00:34:00.640 honestly every candidate in the field right like you agree with them on a lot of things and there's

00:34:05.920 certain things you don't i i'd encourage people to think about the percentage they agree with with

00:34:10.400 rfk jr you it seems to me my experience with a lot of people in this audience is that they

00:34:16.300 agree passionately with rfk jr on like three or four things and then what what rfk jr is doing now

00:34:24.040 i mostly to raise money is he's realized that on those three or four things he has an audience on

00:34:30.680 the right and remember this is a guy running in the democratic primary like i no offense to you glenn

00:34:35.700 but why the hell is he even doing an interview with you i mean i like that because a lot of people

00:34:39.560 know a lot of people are and i have honest questions for him i mean i don't want to prejudge the guy

00:34:45.160 i haven't spoken to him in 20 years and i do like the things that he's saying right now but i want

00:34:51.240 to know has this uh this uh vision that you've had now and this awakening to the rights of man

00:34:59.640 does that include all rights are you are have you had an awakening here and see what a big government

00:35:07.260 can do or are you still in favor of big government if you agree with what big government wants to do

00:35:13.140 i want to know that maybe he's had an awakening yeah no and i think you know his bread is currently

00:35:19.480 being buttered on a side that would be open to that awakening so i my guess is you will hear about it

00:35:23.700 in this interview and i will be very skeptical of his big revelation uh but look it's important to

00:35:29.140 you know like we all have problems with candidates you know and donald trump's uh his let's call it

00:35:33.300 inattentiveness to spending is is an issue for me i don't i don't like that but i'm gonna agree

00:35:39.580 with donald trump on probably 80 of the stuff he talks about that's not the case i mean we've

00:35:44.940 talked to this audience for 30 years or 20 plus years now glenn this audience does not agree with

00:35:49.380 rfk jr on 80 of things no it's a couple things that he and by the way i completely agree with him on

00:35:55.180 vaccine mandates for example uh he's he seems to have an old school democratic understanding of the

00:36:01.440 border which is now right wing i think because of just the way the world has changed but i mean he has

00:36:07.900 this old sort of union understanding of the border right like we can't have people coming across the 0.99

00:36:13.020 border because you know it's going to change you know it's going to undercut the labor force and

00:36:17.700 like there's a lot to that but it's also an old school democratic labor point which he is correct

00:36:23.500 he that's what he is it's caesar chavez yeah he is an old school democrat which i think is why he's

00:36:28.880 found a little bit of a home in the primary right he's been hitting 15 to 20 percent a lot of the

00:36:33.820 points he's making now are points that the democratic party were main main arguments of

00:36:39.520 the democratic party in the 1980s and 90s they've just stopped making them like for example his

00:36:44.680 anti-ukraine war stance that used to be what every democrat said right correct and you know that is

00:36:50.720 we've obviously seen a major change in the way people especially on the left think about issues

00:36:55.420 like this all of a sudden if you don't support a war you're anti-america which i don't know going

00:37:01.400 through the the iraq years is a bit shocking uh to me but that is is where he is and he's found a

00:37:08.600 little bit of a home there so i i think he deserves to be heard everybody does and i i want to do fair

00:37:15.620 interview i will never sandbag somebody i mean you know rfk has been reminded by my producers

00:37:22.860 remember your culture cleanse you know execution or be tried for um so i would never sandbag somebody

00:37:31.020 no i i one of my number one rules is if i've invited you into my home into my studios i am not i'm going

00:37:40.400 to treat you as an invited guest now if you're saying like i gotta be on the air and sometimes that

00:37:47.820 never works but it has worked a couple of times i'm like okay come on come on in um but i never

00:37:55.640 ever i i will tell those people you're not entering a friendly room when it comes to the presidential

00:38:03.680 candidates i want to be a an open room not a necessarily friend or foe to anyone but an open

00:38:11.020 room to have a dialogue i think that is what's missing in america just an honest exchange of ideas

00:38:18.240 you know when you say uh i may not agree with a candidate the things we have to look for now

00:38:27.840 are beyond policies oh i'm anti-war i'm you know anti uh vax mandates i'm anti whatever we can agree

00:38:37.240 on a lot of those things but somebody like uh duerte also believes in many of those things

00:38:44.200 we have to agree on the constitution the bill of rights and the balance of power you know the

00:38:52.540 constitution people don't it's been so discredited by the left that nobody even looks at it they pay

00:38:59.420 lip service whenever it's you know whenever it's convenient for them the constitution isn't being

00:39:06.780 used the bill of rights are not being used and protected if we restore those things the ship

00:39:13.900 will right itself and right itself quickly so we're going to talk about the bill of rights

00:39:19.260 and uh and the things that government can and cannot do and it'll be i think a fascinating

00:47:11.380 who was

00:47:12.480 really not able

00:47:14.340 to get around

00:47:14.940 he was 75 years old

00:47:16.340 he was a guy

00:47:17.100 just blowing off

00:47:18.660 steam

00:47:19.320 now

00:47:20.120 i don't agree

00:47:21.660 with what he did

00:47:22.840 and what he said

00:47:23.980 i think the fbi

00:47:25.380 should have investigated him

00:47:27.120 but not

00:47:28.220 break his door down

00:47:29.780 at 6 o'clock

00:47:31.220 in the morning

00:47:31.980 uh

00:47:33.000 and come in with a tank

00:47:34.480 through his front

00:47:35.460 bay window

00:47:36.500 maybe

00:47:37.300 it's just me

00:47:38.540 let's go to steve friend

00:47:40.060 who was part of swat teams

00:47:42.260 for a long time

00:47:43.000 until he couldn't take

00:47:43.780 the fbi anymore

00:47:44.800 steve welcome to the program

00:47:46.680 thanks for having me today glenn

00:47:48.540 so the fbi swat team

00:47:51.140 tell me how this would work

00:47:52.640 you get a credible threat in

00:47:54.100 um

00:47:55.180 and you check it out

00:47:56.400 somebody goes and tries

00:47:57.500 to visit his house

00:47:58.520 he's like

00:47:59.900 you know

00:48:00.340 you don't have a warrant

00:48:01.140 and i'm not talking to you

00:48:02.380 bring a warrant back

00:48:03.520 then he makes more threats

00:48:05.600 uh

00:48:06.480 on uh

00:48:07.640 the social media

00:48:08.860 but you've seen him

00:48:10.160 you know him

00:48:10.780 do they do any investigation

00:48:12.200 about who this person is

00:48:14.640 or are they just

00:48:15.460 going to the house

00:48:17.340 well i think that's a

00:48:20.060 huge problem

00:48:20.840 with this particular case

00:48:21.840 because

00:48:22.240 those original threats

00:48:23.820 were made

00:48:24.300 about five months ago

00:48:25.320 and i

00:48:25.640 and the agents

00:48:26.380 went to his house

00:48:27.060 and assessed it

00:48:27.800 and either deemed

00:48:28.840 that he was not

00:48:29.600 an imminent threat

00:48:30.460 or they were having

00:48:31.500 a hard time

00:48:32.000 pushing uh

00:48:32.860 charges forward

00:48:33.860 but because he

00:48:35.060 made these recent threats

00:48:36.240 against the president

00:48:37.040 they used those

00:48:38.160 earlier threats

00:48:39.380 as additional leverage

00:48:40.740 in the write-up

00:48:41.760 of the affidavit

00:48:42.460 for his arrest

00:48:43.180 to make him seem

00:48:43.880 like a greater threat

00:48:44.800 and enhance the ability

00:48:46.300 and enhance the tools

00:48:47.180 and likelihood

00:48:47.680 that SWAT would be 0.97

00:48:49.460 a likely

00:48:50.580 means to bring him

00:48:52.140 into custody

00:48:52.660 and there's also

00:48:53.420 the fact that

00:48:54.300 the special agent

00:48:55.540 in charge

00:48:56.100 of the Salt Lake City

00:48:57.000 office

00:48:58.000 is brand new

00:48:59.260 and that's somebody

00:49:00.600 who basically

00:49:01.440 has their rank

00:49:02.040 on their sleeve

00:49:02.780 with their Velcro

00:49:03.580 and they're not

00:49:04.420 going to be

00:49:05.260 pushing back

00:49:06.400 against the predominant

00:49:08.160 line of thinking

00:49:09.480 that if there's

00:49:10.140 a threat of violence

00:49:11.760 against the sitting

00:49:12.460 president

00:49:12.860 that we need

00:49:13.440 to use the special

00:49:14.400 weapons and tactics

00:49:15.460 team to bring

00:49:16.660 them into custody

00:49:17.500 so is this

00:49:20.440 was

00:49:21.000 was this attack

00:49:22.820 on this man's home

00:49:23.960 was this to send

00:49:25.440 a message

00:49:26.060 was it

00:49:27.180 just

00:49:27.860 uh

00:49:28.480 incompetence

00:49:29.480 laziness

00:49:30.280 what

00:49:31.420 what happened

00:49:32.160 i think

00:49:34.180 that it

00:49:34.720 is

00:49:35.280 a result

00:49:36.900 of the fact

00:49:37.360 that

00:49:37.920 that the fbi

00:49:38.680 is now

00:49:39.780 viewing

00:49:40.300 uh

00:49:40.940 their agents

00:49:41.520 as case

00:49:42.100 managers

00:49:42.720 as opposed

00:49:43.420 to the agents

00:49:44.180 who investigate

00:49:44.920 the cases

00:49:45.420 and there's

00:49:45.820 this mentality

00:49:46.380 that permeates

00:49:47.180 and actually

00:49:47.580 in the software

00:49:48.380 where you

00:49:48.980 have your case

00:49:49.680 files housed

00:49:50.160 you're called

00:49:50.620 a case manager

00:49:51.340 and when you're

00:49:52.120 the case manager

00:49:52.780 you're sort

00:49:53.260 of moving

00:49:53.580 chess pieces

00:49:54.100 around the board

00:49:54.800 so if you need

00:49:55.440 financial analysis

00:49:56.320 done

00:49:56.720 you send the records

00:49:57.780 over to the

00:49:58.300 forensic accountant

00:49:59.000 and if you need

00:49:59.820 evidence to be

00:50:00.880 analyzed

00:50:01.240 you send it

00:50:01.740 over to the lab

00:50:02.460 and eventually

00:50:03.180 when it comes

00:50:03.620 time to arrest

00:50:04.280 the subject

00:50:04.720 you send the SWAT

00:50:05.560 team because

00:50:06.000 those are the

00:50:06.480 arrest guys

00:50:07.120 that do that

00:50:08.000 and and when SWAT

00:50:09.980 gets involved

00:50:10.520 they have a matrix

00:50:11.620 it's overly broad

00:50:12.880 you miss the

00:50:14.220 threat of violence

00:50:15.420 or the suspicion

00:50:16.480 that there might

00:50:17.160 be a firearm

00:50:17.920 is enough

00:50:18.500 to send SWAT

00:50:19.160 and that's

00:50:19.480 regardless of

00:50:20.160 whether or not

00:50:20.520 the person

00:50:20.820 is prohibited

00:50:21.380 from owning

00:50:21.900 a firearm

00:50:22.440 and SWAT

00:50:23.520 is going to

00:50:23.960 use its

00:50:24.560 protocols

00:50:25.160 it's going to

00:50:25.840 come in at

00:50:26.520 six o'clock

00:50:26.940 in the morning

00:50:27.340 that's the earliest

00:50:27.940 typically that you're

00:50:28.660 allowed to do that

00:50:29.360 because it's

00:50:30.000 speed,

00:50:30.500 surprise,

00:50:30.960 and violence

00:50:31.500 of action

00:50:31.920 you're hoping

00:50:32.300 to overwhelm

00:50:33.100 the person

00:50:33.540 so that there's

00:50:34.060 not going to

00:50:34.380 be a threat

00:50:34.860 but in this

00:50:35.900 case

00:50:36.200 they had had

00:50:37.220 a history

00:50:39.200 with this gentleman

00:50:39.900 and they obviously

00:50:40.740 knew that he

00:50:41.240 wasn't an imminent

00:50:42.460 threat or maybe

00:50:43.100 not even physically

00:50:43.800 capable of bringing

00:50:44.720 these threats

00:50:45.960 to fruition

00:50:46.540 and he wasn't

00:50:48.120 necessarily very

00:50:48.960 ambulatory

00:50:49.680 so I think there

00:50:50.240 was far better

00:50:51.080 options if they

00:50:51.860 had actually

00:50:52.640 taken a step

00:50:53.200 back and

00:50:54.140 had rushed

00:50:55.200 but I think

00:50:56.020 when there's

00:50:56.440 this threat

00:50:57.040 here there's

00:50:57.500 always this

00:50:57.920 pressure

00:50:58.260 so we have

00:50:58.800 to use

00:50:59.240 the tool

00:51:00.600 at our disposal

00:51:01.240 because it

00:51:01.820 breezes well up

00:51:02.420 the chain of

00:51:02.760 command

00:51:03.020 you don't want

00:51:03.460 to be the

00:51:03.740 leader that

00:51:04.100 said well I

00:51:04.720 sent two agents

00:51:05.380 to his house

00:51:06.020 instead of a SWAT

00:51:07.380 team when he

00:51:07.800 threatened to kill

00:51:08.300 the president

00:51:08.720 so what is the

00:51:12.300 purpose of a

00:51:13.940 flash bomb

00:51:14.940 flash grenade

00:51:17.600 is a

00:51:18.760 diversionary

00:51:19.860 device

00:51:20.980 it doesn't

00:51:21.800 shoot out any

00:51:23.020 sort of projectiles

00:51:24.220 you hold in your

00:51:25.940 hand you might

00:51:26.480 have a chance

00:51:27.420 of being burned

00:51:28.080 but it

00:51:28.780 essentially gives

00:51:29.520 the operators

00:51:30.660 about one and a

00:51:31.800 half seconds

00:51:32.600 where it would

00:51:33.760 temporarily make

00:51:34.960 the person

00:51:35.340 blinded

00:51:36.100 would impair

00:51:37.000 their hearing

00:51:37.640 for some time

00:51:38.400 afterwards and

00:51:38.940 it allows you

00:51:39.520 to get multiple

00:51:40.320 people into a

00:51:41.320 room before

00:51:41.880 they're able to

00:51:42.380 respond and

00:51:42.980 then maybe

00:51:43.260 fire on you

00:51:44.400 correct so

00:51:45.800 you're not using

00:51:47.040 it when you're

00:51:47.700 in the room

00:51:48.440 with the person

00:51:49.380 and you're already

00:51:50.720 positioned shouting

00:51:51.660 at each other

00:51:52.300 right

00:51:52.920 would play no

00:51:54.060 no I mean

00:51:54.520 obviously if you're

00:51:55.080 giving verbal

00:51:55.580 commands and

00:51:56.360 you've thrown a

00:51:56.920 flashbang they

00:51:57.520 might not actually

00:51:58.180 be able to hear

00:51:58.700 you

00:51:59.040 right okay

00:52:00.940 so there was a

00:52:02.540 flashbang right

00:52:03.740 before he was

00:52:05.060 shot but the

00:52:06.260 flashbang

00:52:06.900 was not in

00:52:08.880 the house

00:52:09.460 and there's

00:52:10.280 video

00:52:10.700 the flashbang

00:52:13.020 is actually

00:52:13.660 thrown

00:52:14.480 at like the

00:52:16.420 garage door

00:52:17.500 outside

00:52:18.420 why would that

00:52:20.700 have happened

00:52:21.280 again it's a

00:52:23.800 diversionary

00:52:24.420 technique so

00:52:25.060 you interrupt

00:52:25.920 what's called

00:52:26.400 the OODA

00:52:26.800 loop of the

00:52:27.520 person so

00:52:28.320 if they think

00:52:29.100 that there's

00:52:29.440 attention in

00:52:30.240 one area

00:52:30.880 they might be

00:52:31.480 distracted and

00:52:32.600 then you come in

00:52:33.180 through another

00:52:33.560 door it makes

00:52:34.360 it safer for you

00:52:35.420 to come into

00:52:36.000 that other door

00:52:36.840 no no no

00:52:37.740 wait wait wait

00:52:38.620 no they were

00:52:39.440 gun trained

00:52:40.360 they were already

00:52:42.020 in the room

00:52:42.780 they were shouting

00:52:43.560 at each other

00:52:44.900 and then somebody

00:52:46.180 throws it

00:52:46.820 outside

00:52:47.980 do you normally

00:52:50.500 I mean throwing

00:52:51.540 it in one part

00:52:52.440 of the house

00:52:52.960 okay but

00:52:54.320 why would you

00:52:56.000 throw it outside

00:52:56.920 to me if

00:52:58.000 somebody is

00:52:58.480 holding a gun

00:52:59.300 and I hear

00:53:00.480 what I think

00:53:01.340 is a shot

00:53:02.180 I might just

00:53:03.400 freak out and 0.59

00:53:04.180 shoot

00:53:04.500 yes I

00:53:07.220 think it

00:53:08.280 could have

00:53:08.560 been an

00:53:08.780 accident

00:53:09.040 I mean

00:53:09.400 sometimes if

00:53:10.340 you pull the

00:53:11.120 pin on a

00:53:11.900 flashbang

00:53:12.360 anticipating to

00:53:13.180 throw it but

00:53:13.700 haven't thrown

00:53:14.240 it you

00:53:15.000 actually have

00:53:15.560 to say

00:53:17.160 bang out

00:53:17.660 you have to

00:53:18.020 throw it

00:53:18.320 in a safe

00:53:18.620 area and

00:53:19.480 there's a

00:53:19.860 possibility that

00:53:20.460 that happened

00:53:20.880 that they

00:53:21.140 were anticipating

00:53:21.840 needing a

00:53:22.420 flashbang and

00:53:23.480 then for

00:53:24.000 whatever reason

00:53:24.520 he was

00:53:24.840 opening the

00:53:25.480 door and

00:53:25.820 was then

00:53:26.080 having a

00:53:26.460 conversation

00:53:26.920 engaging them

00:53:27.680 verbally and

00:53:28.340 they needed

00:53:28.700 to get that

00:53:30.400 flashbang so

00:53:31.040 that it wasn't

00:53:31.440 going to go

00:53:31.920 off in the

00:53:32.360 operator's hand or

00:53:33.740 anything like

00:53:34.160 that so

00:53:34.640 that's certainly

00:53:35.340 a possibility

00:53:35.960 they could have

00:53:36.940 been having a

00:53:37.740 verbal engagement

00:53:38.800 with him through

00:53:39.640 a door and

00:53:40.600 then eventually

00:53:41.020 decided that they

00:53:41.700 were going to

00:53:42.180 reach in order

00:53:42.860 to do that

00:53:43.300 distract him

00:53:44.100 throw the 0.65

00:53:44.740 flashbang in

00:53:45.380 another area

00:53:46.060 then reach and

00:53:47.080 enter and

00:53:47.540 hopefully that

00:53:48.420 will give them

00:53:48.760 enough time to

00:53:49.420 get to him

00:53:50.160 before he could

00:53:51.420 respond

00:53:51.960 does the FBI

00:53:54.820 do they wear

00:53:55.460 cameras on their

00:53:56.220 vests

00:53:56.600 they do not

00:53:58.700 there's a plan

00:54:00.280 in place to

00:54:01.200 implement body

00:54:01.940 cameras and

00:54:02.780 from my

00:54:03.240 understanding

00:54:03.660 there's been

00:54:04.220 training done

00:54:04.940 on that

00:54:05.460 but it's

00:54:07.140 not been

00:54:07.460 implemented

00:54:07.880 and I'm

00:54:08.900 concerned that

00:54:09.620 if the decision

00:54:10.440 is made to

00:54:10.920 actually wear

00:54:11.500 them that the

00:54:12.500 FBI will say

00:54:13.100 we don't want

00:54:13.560 to reveal our

00:54:14.160 tactics so

00:54:15.260 we're not going

00:54:15.920 to have them

00:54:16.680 rolling when we

00:54:17.740 do our SWAT

00:54:18.340 takedowns but

00:54:19.280 we'll use them

00:54:19.880 for after

00:54:20.460 effect to make

00:54:21.680 sure that we're

00:54:22.160 not mistreating

00:54:23.320 anybody after all

00:54:24.640 the smoke has

00:54:25.480 cleared so I

00:54:26.880 don't know what

00:54:27.340 extent they're

00:54:28.280 planning on making

00:54:29.240 those recordings

00:54:30.260 available especially

00:54:31.640 when it comes to

00:54:32.300 SWAT because that's

00:54:33.160 rarely necessary in

00:54:35.420 the prosecution of

00:54:36.480 an individual

00:54:36.940 you've already

00:54:37.560 built the case

00:54:38.680 against them but

00:54:39.220 that point it's

00:54:39.780 not really

00:54:40.180 evidentiary

00:54:40.820 yeah I'm not

00:54:42.940 looking to build

00:54:43.580 a case against

00:54:44.560 you know the

00:54:46.940 perpetrator here

00:54:48.060 and I'm not

00:54:49.280 looking to build a

00:54:50.100 case against the

00:54:50.900 FBI I am

00:54:52.120 interested in

00:54:52.900 seeing the truth

00:54:53.980 it's the same

00:54:55.220 reason that you

00:54:56.660 know people who

00:54:57.260 didn't trust the

00:54:58.060 police and you

00:54:59.300 know at times

00:54:59.780 it have good

00:55:00.280 reason not to

00:55:01.080 trust the

00:55:01.500 police they

00:55:03.240 demanded that

00:55:04.280 we have cameras

00:55:05.220 on so we

00:55:05.840 could make sure

00:55:06.620 the police were

00:55:07.420 doing their job

00:55:08.340 and not

00:55:08.940 overstepping if

00:55:10.480 the FBI is

00:55:11.940 going to get

00:55:12.460 involved in in

00:55:14.720 all of these

00:55:15.540 local things and

00:55:16.740 their their

00:55:17.400 response is to

00:55:18.740 always send in a

00:55:20.140 SWAT team I

00:55:21.960 think it's

00:55:22.360 important that they

00:55:23.300 have cameras on

00:55:24.240 them because I

00:55:25.640 don't trust them

00:55:26.580 and I don't

00:55:27.860 think the

00:55:28.140 American people

00:55:28.780 trust them

00:55:29.300 I agree with

00:55:30.920 you on that

00:55:31.480 100% and I

00:55:33.040 think there needs

00:55:33.760 to be an

00:55:34.500 evaluation of the

00:55:35.360 SWAT matrix it

00:55:36.240 needs to be

00:55:36.620 narrowed for

00:55:37.580 special circumstances

00:55:38.600 they're especially

00:55:39.260 risky and dangerous

00:55:40.340 and there just

00:55:41.180 needs to be more

00:55:41.820 critical thinking

00:55:42.500 when it comes

00:55:42.980 time to bringing

00:55:43.520 somebody into

00:55:44.100 custody using the

00:55:45.140 least amount of

00:55:46.060 force necessary

00:55:46.660 should be what

00:55:47.460 the premier law

00:55:48.260 enforcement agency

00:55:49.060 focuses on which

00:55:50.120 is one of the

00:55:51.260 reasons I objected to

00:55:52.140 what we were doing

00:55:52.680 on January 6th we

00:55:53.620 were sending a

00:55:54.240 SWAT team to

00:55:54.940 arrest an

00:55:55.420 individual who

00:55:56.280 had pledged to

00:55:56.920 cooperate with

00:55:57.640 us and I

00:55:58.220 thought that that

00:55:58.640 presented an

00:55:59.180 unnecessary risk to

00:56:00.040 his safety and to

00:56:00.800 our own you know

00:56:02.620 there is there's

00:56:04.240 something to be said

00:56:05.180 for local police the

00:56:07.240 reason why local

00:56:08.080 police can be much

00:56:09.380 more effective is

00:56:10.760 because they know

00:56:11.680 the people of the

00:56:12.620 community now maybe

00:56:13.620 none of them knew

00:56:14.580 this person on the

00:56:17.080 local police but I

00:56:18.060 don't think they were

00:56:18.660 even asked you know

00:56:20.800 when you used to

00:56:21.440 have officer O'Malley

00:56:22.900 and he was walking

00:56:24.460 the the beat he

00:56:26.260 he knew everybody

00:56:27.200 because he lived on

00:56:28.380 that block the

00:56:30.920 local police should

00:56:32.100 be involved in

00:56:33.000 things like this as

00:56:33.940 much as possible to

00:56:35.140 where they're saying

00:56:36.540 wait a minute wait a

00:56:37.160 minute wait a minute

00:56:37.660 Bob don't you know

00:56:39.180 his neighbor don't you

00:56:40.540 know because that

00:56:42.100 person can knock on

00:56:43.060 the door and it's not

00:56:44.380 an FBI SWAT team the

00:56:47.180 federal government

00:56:47.960 doesn't seem to care

00:56:49.860 about anything other

00:56:51.620 than their power and

00:56:53.860 and it's got to stop

00:56:56.060 it's got to stop it

00:56:58.400 does and the prime

00:56:59.580 director of the FBI

00:57:00.420 should be to assist

00:57:01.400 these local agencies

00:57:02.260 that actually have the

00:57:03.320 real world knowledge the

00:57:04.220 mainstream knowledge and

00:57:05.620 I would propose even

00:57:06.480 now that they the

00:57:07.440 Republicans in the

00:57:08.300 House use appropriations

00:57:09.740 to defund the armed

00:57:11.480 agent of the FBI and

00:57:13.140 force them to partner

00:57:14.000 with locals because

00:57:14.880 those are the agencies

00:57:15.820 that know the usual

00:57:16.840 suspects they know the

00:57:18.400 community and when you

00:57:19.700 get their approval to do

00:57:20.560 an investigation and get

00:57:21.500 their participation that

00:57:22.980 creates a bulwark between

00:57:24.100 an out of control FBI

00:57:25.200 because the sheriff is

00:57:26.600 accountable to his

00:57:27.440 constituents and he can

00:57:28.460 protect them from the

00:57:29.420 FBI coming yes hang on

00:57:31.720 just a second Steve if

00:57:32.780 you don't mind we're

00:57:33.300 talking to Steve friend

00:57:34.020 former FBI and a

00:57:35.400 whistleblower from the

00:57:36.300 FBI more in just a

00:57:38.220 second first Jane lives 0.71

00:57:39.680 out in California and

00:57:41.680 she's 71 she's experiencing

00:57:44.120 pain in her knees now if

00:57:45.560 it was in you know a

00:57:47.300 little higher on the

00:57:48.200 other side of her body I 0.98

00:57:49.300 would say it was Gavin

00:57:50.080 Newsom in the government

00:57:50.920 but it's not it's in her

00:57:52.160 knees and right arm most

00:57:54.880 of the things that she

00:57:56.080 tried doing to tried to

00:57:58.160 do during that time to

00:57:59.580 combat the pain she said

00:58:01.140 didn't do much for her

00:58:02.160 she started to think she

00:58:03.160 was just gonna have to

00:58:03.760 deal with the pain for

00:58:04.360 the rest of her life

00:58:05.100 that's when she heard me

00:58:06.680 hi Jane talking about

00:58:08.600 relief factor on this

00:58:09.520 program she decided she

00:58:10.540 would give it a try after

00:58:11.580 all it didn't work it was

00:58:13.300 20 bucks for the trial

00:58:14.420 pack and it was worth a

00:58:15.380 try good news is pain went

00:58:17.380 away within a couple of

00:58:18.320 weeks Jane has her life

00:58:19.920 back now Jane see how

00:58:22.060 much pain is relief when

00:58:23.220 you move from California

00:58:24.680 the three-week quick start

00:58:26.500 is only 1995 it's trial

00:58:28.440 pack it's not a drug but

00:58:29.820 it was developed by

00:58:30.480 doctors hundreds of

00:58:31.400 thousands of people have

00:58:32.220 ordered relief factor and

00:58:33.740 70 percent of them go on

00:58:35.020 to order more so call

00:58:36.000 relief factor at 1-800 the

00:58:37.640 number for relief that's

00:58:38.900 1-800 for relief or

00:58:40.900 relief factor dot com feel

00:58:43.140 the difference 10 seconds

00:58:44.600 station ID so Steve it

00:58:56.280 used to be that even

00:58:57.740 bank robbers Bonnie and

00:58:59.700 Clyde weren't stopped by

00:59:01.000 the FBI they were they

00:59:02.740 were stopped by state

00:59:04.140 troopers and they would

00:59:05.100 work with the states etc

00:59:06.380 etc and yes it took a

00:59:08.060 little more time but the

00:59:09.660 FBI came in and said we're

00:59:11.660 going to do bank robberies

00:59:12.760 because of crossing

00:59:14.500 state lines however they

00:59:17.380 have they have wormed

00:59:18.820 their way into almost

00:59:20.300 everything that was a a

00:59:24.100 state crime and still is a

00:59:26.660 state crime they just have

00:59:28.840 to try it federally or try

00:59:31.320 it in the state why why did

00:59:34.040 we give them this much power

00:59:35.620 isn't the local and the

00:59:37.020 state police good enough to

00:59:39.760 be able to handle most of

00:59:41.060 these things they are good

00:59:44.060 enough and in my my

00:59:45.280 experience local police

00:59:46.480 tend to be actually

00:59:47.440 superior investigators they

00:59:49.260 have the experience they

00:59:50.340 have the guys in the

00:59:50.940 detective office they're not

00:59:51.980 straight out of the academy

00:59:53.320 and thrown into an

00:59:54.380 investigative role they're

00:59:55.560 guys who were on the

00:59:56.360 street and then cut their

00:59:57.560 teeth there and then

00:59:58.280 eventually ascended into

00:59:59.300 the detective's office but

01:00:00.840 in my experience those guys

01:00:01.600 are actually superior I

01:00:03.060 think the FBI brings a lot

01:00:04.620 of resources to bear it

01:00:05.560 certainly gets over 11

01:00:07.080 billion dollars in funding so

01:00:08.500 there's a lot of cash

01:00:09.200 strapped agencies out

01:00:10.240 there that could benefit

01:00:11.820 from the tools that the

01:00:12.800 FBI has but certainly not

01:00:14.340 the tradecraft that the

01:00:15.700 FBI brings to bear and

01:00:16.740 and and the FBI is a

01:00:18.660 self-licking ice cream

01:00:19.480 companies like any other

01:00:20.380 government bureaucracy

01:00:21.300 mission creep sets in and

01:00:23.840 the opportunity to expand

01:00:25.420 and look for opportunities

01:00:26.620 is is just too much for

01:00:29.280 them to resist look no

01:00:30.820 further than this radical

01:00:31.860 traditional Catholic memo

01:00:33.040 that was exposed further to

01:00:35.240 me the most disturbing word

01:00:36.820 in that entire document is

01:00:38.080 the word opportunity

01:00:39.020 because it means the FBI is

01:00:40.820 looking for opportunities

01:00:42.260 to recruit forces and as it

01:00:44.840 looks for opportunities to

01:00:46.020 collect intelligence it looks

01:00:47.540 for opportunities to find

01:00:49.120 vulnerable people who can

01:00:50.320 entrap in domestic terrorism

01:00:51.720 plots so they can pad their

01:00:52.920 stats

01:00:53.260 so there was some interesting

01:00:56.540 news that came out about that

01:00:57.860 yesterday that it looks like

01:00:59.860 our director lied to Congress

01:01:01.680 he said it was only one local

01:01:03.840 guy that was doing this we now

01:01:06.300 find out it was several FBI

01:01:08.100 districts that were doing this

01:01:09.740 any comment or thought on that

01:01:11.640 well Christopher Wray lied

01:01:14.260 multiple times when he

01:01:15.120 testified he lied about that he

01:01:16.560 lied about not moving agents

01:01:17.980 from child pornography to

01:01:20.020 investigate January 6th because I was

01:01:21.840 assigned to do that and he lied

01:01:23.320 about sending agents to school

01:01:24.860 boards to surveil parents which I

01:01:26.680 was also sent to do so this is

01:01:28.660 clearly a man who doesn't expect

01:01:29.940 to be held accountable and it's

01:01:32.240 going to be incumbent that the

01:01:33.380 Republicans can make a referral

01:01:35.440 over for perjury against him they

01:01:37.440 owe that to people like Garrett O'

01:01:39.240 Boyle who testified next to me

01:01:40.520 and the Democrats proposed for

01:01:42.300 perjury charges because he mistook his

01:01:44.380 legal fees as being paid for by a

01:01:46.120 charity when in fact they were done

01:01:47.340 pro bono but the Democrats didn't

01:01:49.340 hesitate to try to besmirch his

01:01:50.760 reputation the Republicans owe my

01:01:53.280 friend Garrett O'Boyle the uh the

01:01:55.760 the referral for Christopher Wray

01:01:57.920 perjury in front of them

01:01:59.020 Steve I appreciate everything that

01:02:01.820 you're doing I don't find it to be a

01:02:03.580 coincidence that they have

01:02:04.780 reimagined our police and weakened

01:02:06.580 all of our police in the city while

01:02:08.780 they are trying to grab more and

01:02:10.260 more power on the federal level but I

01:02:12.580 am grateful for whistleblowers like

01:02:14.280 you that are telling the truth and

01:02:16.260 have the guts to stand up and tell

01:02:18.480 the truth and have their lives

01:02:19.620 destroyed so thank you Steve

01:02:21.400 thank you very much Glenn God bless

01:02:23.780 you bet Steve friend FBI whistleblower

01:02:27.560 he objected to being part of a

01:02:30.000 January 6th raid a SWAT raid exactly

01:02:32.960 like what happened in Provo he said

01:02:35.460 this is this is way out of line we

01:02:37.460 don't need to do this and he has been

01:02:39.860 blowing the whistle on the FBI and has

01:02:41.920 been testifying in front of Congress

01:02:43.340 several times hopefully he will be part

01:02:46.640 of the team that convinces Congress to

01:02:48.780 defund the FBI defund it clean it out

01:02:55.000 and then if we have to have one and I'm

01:02:58.580 not sure we do very very small the

01:03:00.920 Glenn back program

01:03:02.020 Mike concern on that is it never stays

01:03:06.140 small concepts like the the customer is

01:03:09.440 always right used to shape the way we

01:04:35.480 Friday there is a really interesting story in

01:04:39.380 the Washington examiner today we've seen

01:04:42.960 the headlines over and over again local

01:04:44.780 school board bans tag no more dodgeball it's

01:04:49.160 too dangerous well here's something that

01:04:53.280 is happening in England they are now

01:04:57.920 noticing injuries on the playground and

01:05:03.080 the reason why there's an uptick in in

01:05:05.520 injuries is because kids don't know how

01:05:10.220 to play anymore listen to this there's an

01:05:13.960 article from the athletics fitness website

01:05:16.540 stack the real problem actually goes much

01:05:19.740 deeper than schools being over cautious the

01:05:22.540 truth is modern kids are lacking some

01:05:25.260 fundamental skills needed to safely play

01:05:28.780 tag what was once considered a simple and

01:05:33.780 honest game of good fun has become a

01:05:36.180 nightmare on the playground children are

01:05:38.620 starting to hit with such force that they

01:05:40.760 often end up whacking their opponent across

01:05:42.860 the back with a monstrous slap modern kids 0.97

01:05:45.900 often lack the innate ability to judge how

01:05:49.340 much pressure to apply during games that

01:05:51.840 require human contact largely do to an

01:05:59.640 underdeveloped sense of play specifically

01:06:03.000 children aren't forced to use their

01:06:05.080 strength enough so they don't have what

01:06:07.820 athletes would call touch the muscle memory

01:06:10.980 that teaches you how much force to use what

01:06:14.040 is causing this lack all sorts of things

01:06:17.020 video games adversion to manual labor

01:06:21.320 unavailability of a parent for wrestling

01:06:24.300 daycare workers are much less likely to

01:06:26.560 wrestle with a child than the mother and 0.82

01:06:28.100 father is yeah i bet so schools should

01:06:31.780 allow tag but parents and schools should

01:06:34.340 also make sure their children wrestle and

01:06:35.920 play with large rocks more this is bad news

01:06:40.320 our kids are becoming absolute uh

01:06:43.820 wally creatures where it is

01:06:47.100 we're just not able to do anything

01:06:54.900 anymore and our kids got to get physical

01:06:57.760 again we have to be able to play tag you

01:07:03.320 know i think i i i just wish

01:07:06.120 i wish walt disney would have lived

01:07:10.880 another 10 years uh because i think he

01:07:14.600 might have changed the world even more

01:07:16.700 than he already did um and that's because

01:07:19.720 ebcot was not a it was not an amusement

01:07:25.420 park it wasn't a theme park it was an

01:07:28.680 experimental prototype city of tomorrow

01:07:31.600 and for instance all of the houses had parks

01:07:36.300 in between them so the houses would face

01:07:40.640 the park and there wasn't a street in front

01:07:42.880 of the house it was a park in front of the

01:07:44.480 house because he felt neighbors were losing

01:07:46.980 contact with themselves because they would

01:07:48.800 go in the front door and then they would go

01:07:51.320 into their backyard where everybody had a

01:07:53.260 fence and they wouldn't sit on the porch

01:07:55.440 anymore their kids wouldn't play out in the

01:07:56.940 front yard anymore it was always in the

01:07:58.400 backyard with a fence so he thought in the

01:08:01.300 this in the 1960s and late 1950s let's put

01:08:05.340 houses with a park in between them so

01:08:08.160 they could go and play i think that's an

01:08:11.280 ingenious idea and especially today when

01:08:14.040 no pedophile can live within a mile of a

01:08:16.920 park imagine if all of our towns had the

01:08:21.660 houses with a park in front huh but i think

01:08:27.080 that our kids need to just go out and play

01:08:29.120 and not organized play stew did you ever have

01:08:34.480 your mom or dad organize a play or bring you i

01:08:38.660 mean i'm not a sports person so i'm sure

01:08:40.700 that you brought you went to little league

01:08:42.180 and things like that but my parents would

01:08:44.780 always say go outside and play go find some

01:08:49.600 friends and play i mean 90 percent of that i

01:08:53.040 mean yes i did little league you had

01:08:54.600 occasional like basketball leagues or

01:08:56.160 something you'd jump right to but generally

01:08:57.760 speaking 90 percent of the athletics you'd

01:09:00.360 you'd participate in would be in someone's

01:09:02.760 backyard that in a game that you arrange on

01:09:05.520 the fly correct you know make up the rules as

01:09:08.160 you go along that's kind of how it works

01:09:10.020 right and it doesn't work that way now i mean

01:09:12.680 i might you know and i they don't know how

01:09:14.840 as guilty as uh as anyone with this like my

01:09:17.840 kid is you know both of my kids are in

01:09:19.640 organized sports they play them all the time

01:09:21.840 you know they'll have their friends over and

01:09:23.600 they'll make up games and they'll go swimming

01:09:25.420 and they'll do all those things but it's it's

01:09:27.800 you know the percentage of time they spend on

01:09:29.960 just you know improv rather than something that

01:09:33.500 is uh separate from that you know it's i mean it's

01:09:36.620 it's totally upside down and if they can't rule

01:09:39.600 themselves if they can't put a game themselves

01:09:43.040 and when people were arguing they didn't go run

01:09:46.140 for mom my mom would have said work it out work

01:09:50.040 it out if you can't work it out if you're always

01:09:53.900 looking to an adult an authority a figure to tell

01:09:58.760 you what to do to tell you what the rules are and

01:10:01.240 to settle all the scores you have no ability to

01:10:05.340 actually rule yourself in a free society none you

01:10:08.900 don't understand it

01:10:09.860 i think that's true i think it's it's you know it's

01:10:14.860 this is something that you know we've talked about

01:10:17.360 before with the the free range kids program which is a

01:10:20.540 really great idea of talking about how kids should be

01:10:24.580 able to kind of roam and they should go to parks by

01:10:28.040 themselves and and i will say as a parent even a

01:10:32.920 parent who spends a good chunk of his time you know

01:10:35.880 researching crime statistics knowing that it's safer

01:10:40.300 now for kids than it ever has been to do such

01:10:43.120 activities it is safer than it ever has been

01:10:45.580 and yet even as a parent who knows that information it's really hard to think

01:10:50.420 of you i just let my kid wander the neighborhood that that seems

01:10:53.660 insane to me despite the fact that i live in a relatively safe community

01:10:57.920 and despite the fact that kids i don't know about

01:11:01.120 lately but just as early as five years ago

01:11:04.680 your kids are safer than they were in the 1970s

01:11:08.920 crime had gone way down kidnapping of children all of that stuff

01:11:14.040 the odds of your children running into real trouble

01:11:17.460 had gone dramatically down since the 1970s when i was a kid

01:11:23.900 and yet we all just feel like they're everywhere they're everywhere you got to

01:11:27.980 keep the kids locked in the house yeah no i mean no you don't i'm a lot of

01:11:32.460 this is media based right i think people it is now consume so many news stories

01:11:36.480 they see terrible things that happen in one community a thousand miles away and

01:11:40.380 it's hard not to apply that to your own life and worry about it but i mean like

01:11:44.840 the stat that blows me away i mean you know we talk about stats all the time

01:11:47.900 you know i'm a bit of a numbers geek but like the stat i think is maybe the

01:11:51.840 most shocking statistic that i've ever found in

01:11:55.720 in all the time i've been doing this show and all the other shows that we've

01:11:59.500 worked on is that when i was in high school

01:12:02.080 when i was in high school this is in the 1990s

01:12:05.000 when i was in high school i was four times as likely to die in a school

01:12:10.120 shooting than i am today four times as likely to die in a school

01:12:16.660 shooting in the 90s than people are today

01:12:19.300 was that because there was just there were no mass shootings there were just

01:12:23.240 shootings of one kid at a time yeah like you know and i i a lot of it's that

01:12:27.580 like there were tons and tons of shootings that happen one and two people

01:12:31.600 rather than a spectacular horrible 13 14 and we know about those stories

01:12:37.380 much more but i i hesitate to believe that if you go back and ask one of those

01:12:41.560 parents whose one kid was shot in a school shooting whether they'd care if

01:12:45.020 they were shot in a one person shooting or a 30

01:12:47.200 person i don't think they'd care at all you know the bottom line is that you

01:12:51.380 actually a lot of these things have improved now we've seen a bit of a

01:12:54.920 turnaround since the summer of 2020 or so

01:12:57.460 uh where we've seen these rates rise up in in ways that are really you know

01:13:02.340 scary and and increasing and giving us trends that look bad

01:13:06.240 but still the improvements from when i was a kid and when you were a kid

01:13:09.420 are incredible i mean they've been it's been a

01:13:12.220 real miracle um and it's despite the fact that we've tripled the amount of guns

01:13:16.460 in this country it's i know this is going to sound

01:13:19.360 really harsh and i don't mean it as harsh but i i want to make a point here

01:13:23.300 um it's almost like in the old days we were like oh yeah i mean of course he

01:13:28.600 was shot he was you know bad kid or you know whatever uh and you would but now

01:13:34.240 it's this psychopathic yeah you know blood lust that is so hard to understand

01:13:39.680 yeah i don't know i don't know downplay the school shooting thing i mean part of

01:13:42.420 the reason why it's so uh terrible today is because it feels like it happens in

01:13:47.660 these communities to innocent children not kids that were like you know and i had i

01:13:52.380 remember in drug gangs yeah yeah i remember bad things happening to kids

01:13:55.300 you know in my area back in the day and usually it was the kids who were

01:13:59.680 wrapped up with the wrong crew and it's like you could be the best kid in the

01:14:03.380 world walk into school ready to hand in your a plus book report and get shot i

01:14:07.580 understand why that's a news making thing and i also understand it because

01:14:11.040 it's such a difficult problem to solve you know you're talking about people who

01:14:15.780 generally don't have records they don't have these problems a lot of times they

01:14:20.480 get a hold of guns that they didn't even buy or they got is somehow illegally they

01:14:24.960 come in and they just decide they're going to do these terrible things of course i

01:14:28.880 understand why they're big news stories but i do think we cover them completely

01:14:32.720 inappropriately we give the people who are the murderers in these cases the

01:14:37.040 attention that they are desiring which is a horrible horrible reason and every

01:14:41.620 study shows it it causes more of these things to happen and yet especially when

01:14:47.060 especially when people don't have a purpose in their life kids are looking

01:14:51.940 for meaning they're looking for a purpose in life and the only thing society is

01:14:57.780 handing them is victimhood and celebrity if they do something crazy uh and that

01:15:07.280 gives them meaning i counted for something i'll be remembered uh you know as you

01:15:13.060 grow older at least i have you know i've i've i've known some really great people

01:15:20.240 and i mean even billy graham if billy graham's son weren't still doing things

01:15:26.300 in just a few more years no one would remember billy graham you know what i mean only the old

01:15:33.780 people who experienced him you don't the average person no matter how big they are they don't

01:15:39.680 make a lasting impact for people to remember them in history and in this particular time of life

01:15:49.440 our kids are being taught that's the only thing that matters is fame

01:15:54.900 that that's a very dangerous thing yeah i think that's true yeah and again you know people will

01:16:02.440 replace these foundational beliefs with something we're not capable of having nothing so people 0.81

01:16:08.640 create when they have when they don't have the struggles when they don't have the the foundational

01:16:14.260 beliefs they will apply those things find it they'll find it now you know what the matrix glenn a lot of

01:16:19.300 people bring up uh the you know the red pill blue pill everyone's got a colored pill and of course that's

01:16:23.540 a big part of the movie but i think an underrated part of the movie that just happens briefly is they

01:16:28.960 talk about how the first plan for the matrix was this idea that you know they created where everyone

01:16:37.280 would have the perfect life they tried it instead of giving everyone this horrible life that you know

01:16:42.800 neo got later on they the first version of the matrix for the people yes they were harvesting their organs

01:16:49.980 but the matrix itself was actually great and it prevented no problems everything was wonderful

01:16:56.540 and human beings rejected it because they couldn't possibly live in a in a world where they couldn't

01:17:04.000 create these problems for themselves and you see this but like with like uh you know back in the

01:17:08.480 day you were facing horrible racists that were murdering people and now we're facing statues of

01:17:15.600 those people and we're our big conflict is oh my gosh will they let this statue of this bad person exist

01:17:22.160 the bad person doesn't exist anymore now it's a statue of the person we're supposed to be worried

01:17:25.880 about we create these problems no matter what it is amazing i real quickly and then i've got to take a

01:17:31.000 break it reminds me of the uh do you remember the old twilight zone series and there was uh one

01:17:36.460 episode with this like mob guy he was a card player he was a card shark he used to play around with the

01:17:41.540 dames you know and an angel came to him and uh he died and he's like look but don't worry you get

01:17:49.060 everything you want what do you want i want some dames and i want to win at cards and he won every time

01:17:56.000 he got any beautiful woman every time he had whatever he wanted at the end he was like i don't

01:18:03.600 like it here i want to go to the other place and he's like what other place i want to go you know to

01:18:07.980 hell where all the bad guys are i don't really belong here and he's like what makes you think you're in

01:18:12.400 heaven this is hell and that's kind of the same story you have to have resist resistance is important

01:25:14.080 are you hey glenn so good to be with you yeah thank you for the introduction and let me just say that

01:25:19.980 in the opening chapter of my book i have a quote from you uh so you are even more famous than you

01:25:28.200 already are because you take a central role in the first chapter what really what is what is the quote

01:25:34.040 you used well it was basically when i think we spoke last when you came when you kindly came on my show

01:25:40.160 and you said you know i was walking into the studio today and i don't know why i was happy but i was just

01:25:45.640 filled with happiness and then i realized i was about to speak to gad sad and that made me happy

01:25:50.900 i said what a perfect quote for a happiness book yeah yeah well it's true gad i just love you

01:25:56.220 because you are a happy warrior um and you are a warrior i mean you're fighting the the good fight

01:26:02.640 and you know what is is going on up in canada boy you guys are in real trouble um but you are happy

01:26:10.080 and and whole and when you when you look at this book and i haven't read it yet but you talk about

01:26:18.160 several things that i want you just to highlight here um how to live the life you want not necessarily

01:26:24.780 the life expected of you and my father said to me when i was young there are two words that are so

01:26:32.500 important especially because the third word is the empowering word i am blank you better fill that

01:26:41.320 in or somebody else will fill that in for you and that's who you'll become perfectly said so look

01:26:48.680 imagine your father is a pediatrician and so he thinks that you should become a pediatrician because

01:26:54.760 you come from a long lineup of pediatricians but the reality is you are always interested in

01:26:59.520 architecture and being an artist suddenly you wake up at 70 years old after a full successful

01:27:05.860 career in medicine and realize you didn't live your authentic life you lived the life that was

01:27:10.740 expected of you from your parents from your community and that's a really terrible way to

01:27:16.160 live life because these are types of regrets that when you look back on your life are hard to change

01:27:21.880 so try as best as you can to know thyself so that hopefully you can make the right decisions

01:27:27.240 you know i was talking to somebody um a few months back and he said glenn you've got to learn something

01:27:32.440 new you got to spend an hour every day learning something new and uh i took that to heart and

01:27:39.940 you know i just started painting about five years ago and i love it and i've become a pretty decent

01:27:44.960 painter um and as i was as i was painting i was thinking about you know how great this is that i'm

01:27:52.020 finally painting i've wanted to paint my whole life if you know if i had nothing but time that's

01:27:56.620 probably what i would do um and i am living my authentic life i i know who i am i love what i do

01:28:04.360 but i also have other things and the other thing as i was sitting there painting one day was

01:28:08.200 you know i've always wanted to play the piano so i bought a piano and when i return home i'm going

01:28:14.940 to start taking lessons to learn the piano it's not just not living the things that others tell you

01:28:22.140 to do it's also doing the thing you might have a great job that you're pursuing it's great but don't

01:28:28.160 sell yourself short and just say oh i only do this would you agree with that oh absolutely i'll tell you

01:28:34.960 an amazing story so uh this is in the uh chapter on regret where i say that for many things it's never

01:28:41.380 too late to to change course so there was a gentleman who escaped around the start of when the nazis

01:28:48.540 were coming in moved to montreal became a businessman but i decided that you know he just

01:28:53.760 couldn't go to school to university because you know life circumstances would not allow him to do

01:28:58.000 that in his 60s when he retired he said you know what i'm healthy i'm i'm i have time on my hands let

01:29:04.160 me enroll in an undergraduate degree now he's in his 70s he says hey i'm healthy let me enroll and finish

01:29:10.660 my master's and then at the age of i think 91 or 92 love it he finally finished his phd so when

01:29:18.600 students come into my office glenn telling me well i feel too old i'm 28 years old professor i can go

01:29:25.060 back and do my mba i tell them sit down let me tell you a story i tell you it it you once you stop

01:29:33.500 learning i think you begin to die um i've got two other things i really want to talk to you about and

01:29:39.660 and will you please come to town so we can sit down and and do a 90 minute oh i would love to

01:29:45.680 talk on this okay so um you write in the book that your career needs to have a higher purpose than

01:29:52.700 a paycheck which i absolutely believe the thing that gets me through every day is i know my life and

01:29:59.480 my job have a purpose that is much bigger than success or fame or money or anything else

01:30:06.780 and it's multiple levels of purpose but i think we have a whole society that is looking for purpose

01:30:14.840 their purpose has become you know fame or fortune for so many people how do you find your purpose

01:30:22.700 so i in in the chapter where i talk about how to find your optimal profession i say that all other

01:30:30.420 things equal if you can find a profession that allows you to instantiate your creative impulse

01:30:36.760 you're well on your way to having purpose and meaning now i define creative impulse very broadly you can be

01:30:42.480 a podcaster you could be a chef you could be an architect you could be a professor or author in other

01:30:47.700 words there are many many ways by which i can immerse myself in the creative process and that by

01:30:55.200 definition is more likely to you know grant you purpose and meaning so well you know we need

01:31:01.360 insurance adjusters and i respect all honest jobs but i'm willing to bet that the insurance adjuster

01:31:07.280 doesn't wake up in the morning and say thank god i'm an insurance adjuster he has to find his purpose

01:31:11.940 and meaning elsewhere if you can find it in your job by being creative boy you won the lottery

01:31:16.600 yeah i i will tell you though um that um all thought is creative it's just whether you recognize

01:31:24.640 it or not and i was just talking to somebody who uh was telling me a story i'm trying to remember of

01:31:30.160 a friend of his who he went over i think he went over to his house and he was sitting there at the

01:31:34.760 kitchen table and he was reading algebra books and he's an accountant or a cpa and he's like 0.96

01:31:42.900 huh dig in the algebra book huh and he's like oh yeah no i really i mean numbers are so fascinating

01:31:49.780 to me i just i just like to read and reread this stuff i mean i don't get it but some people do

01:31:56.460 have that passion for things yeah indeed uh look when i was doing speaking of algebra so my undergraduate

01:32:03.220 degrees in mathematics and computer science and so you know i had a very technical quantitative training

01:32:09.000 and because because i'm sort of a broad-minded person i like to pursue many interests i try to

01:32:15.460 take all of my electives in fields that were as different as possible from mathematics so to your

01:32:21.400 point about you know starting to paint recently i took a ceramics course i mean right so imagine

01:32:27.900 someone who is in mathematics you know the most technical theoretical yeah well sitting with a bunch of

01:32:34.320 fine art students but that's what's beautiful about life you need to sample from the full buffet

01:32:39.920 of what life offers you the other thing that is you talk about in the book that is uh so important

01:32:47.060 is choosing the right spouse and uh you know you have to look for certain traits and i mean for me

01:32:56.380 the second time around i i got it i was old enough to understand i i i found a woman who saw me for the

01:33:04.020 man i had hoped to be which made me a better man and made me want to be a better man and a woman who

01:33:09.700 loved the eternal truths of god and she was hot uh so it i i finally got it but i don't know if people

01:33:19.960 understand what the important traits are in the right person so as a general maxim i would say look

01:33:27.980 in evolutionary psychology there are two opposing maxims there's the opposite attract adage and then

01:33:34.000 there's the birds of a feather flock together adage and it turns out glenn for long-term success of a

01:33:41.620 marriage or relationship it's overwhelmingly the case that birds of a feather flock together meaning

01:33:47.600 you have to choose a partner with whom you share you know life goals values belief systems so for

01:33:54.220 example if you glenn uh you're a religious person and you know you you center god and you know at the

01:34:00.600 center of your life then probably marrying someone who's a non-believer is going to put a lot of

01:34:05.940 fissures in your marriage so look for someone with whom you share these fundamental beliefs

01:34:10.860 and that increases your chances of being successful in your marriage greatly what is really interesting

01:34:16.900 to me is i married a woman and intentionally and she intentionally married me for well i mean there was a 1.00

01:34:25.040 gun involved but um she married me for the same reasons we had and this was her insistence and i

01:34:33.560 understood it you know after she explained it to me uh that if we don't have the basic fundamentals

01:34:41.500 in lockstep we'll never make it but we are both birds of a feather in in the basic core we never have

01:34:51.140 arguments on any of the core values uh unless you know i come home and i'm like what but no i'm

01:34:57.800 telling that fits you know then she's like no it doesn't anyway we don't have real wrestles on that 0.99

01:35:04.280 and we are also opposites attract and i think it would have been the death of us if she would have been

01:35:11.600 like i'm very creative and and vision uh vision driven and visionary she doesn't have the vision when i

01:35:19.320 explain something she'll go i can't see it until i draw it out for her she is very pragmatic she is

01:35:27.120 the opposite of me on those things and i i think that both of those things can be true at the same time

01:35:35.620 you're absolutely right that there are some contexts where the complementarity of the two people

01:35:41.880 makes a better union but as you said at the start of your response when it comes when i'm talking

01:35:47.720 about birds of a feather i'm specifically talking about those fundamental non-negotiables if you have

01:35:53.780 differences of opinion on those then it just increases the likelihood of you failing in your

01:35:59.200 marriage because those are the fundamental mindsets that shape your life so i agree with you

01:36:04.620 opposites attract can apply but not for sort of the deontological yes non-negotiable elements

01:36:10.960 yes um dr gad sad the name of the book is the sad truth about happiness hang on 60 seconds gad we'll

01:36:18.320 come back for uh one final uh one final segment let me tell you about relief factor sleep it is not

01:36:29.780 to fix sometimes you might have a hard time getting to sleep don't take a drug or a pharmaceutical

01:36:36.640 don't and don't just lie there in bed staring up at the ceiling for hours it sucks i know because i've

01:36:44.800 done it i can't stop my head sometimes thankfully relief factor sleep has got me covered and got you

01:37:38.580 relieffactor.com 10 seconds station id

01:37:41.500 talking to dr gad sad uh his book is the sad truth about happiness he is an evolutionary behavioral

01:37:58.940 scientist who has put his work to uh and his knowledge toward good instead of evil um and uh gad i want to

01:38:07.880 talk to you a little bit about canada because it is changing so rapidly and i fear for canada as much

01:38:16.660 as i do for the united states um i've always found canadians to be just much more less flighty you know we're

01:38:25.480 we're much more like let's get it and canada is like okay all right slow down a bit but what's

01:38:32.060 happening now especially in the field of death is terrifying because i think people are being trained

01:38:40.480 now to look at suicide as a reasonable option for anything any kind of discomfort and that never leads

01:38:50.080 to a good place are you there on that or not uh yeah i mean i don't know i'm not too familiar with

01:38:56.780 some of the latest laws that have been passed uh but i agree with you that uh we we might have a slightly

01:39:03.560 more uh tolerant view of euthanasia than i would like it to be uh but i can tell you that canada in general

01:39:11.160 and quebec in particular are just off the charts when it comes to the woke meter i uh recently not

01:39:18.760 it it causes me great pain to talk about this but i recently got into huge trouble in quebec because

01:39:26.540 i made a innocent you know fun-loving joke about the quebec accent on the joe rogan show

01:39:32.960 and that ended up being covered you know for probably a week by every single media outlet in quebec

01:39:39.620 i mean i could i could criticize islam and receive less hate than having criticized the quebec accent in

01:39:46.360 a fun way so uh we've got a lot of work to do up there to try to preserve some of these foundational

01:39:51.520 values that we we hold so dearly what is happening with jordan peterson in terms of uh the ontario uh

01:40:00.660 psychology yeah where he has to yeah where he has to go to a re-education camp or lose his license

01:40:08.260 absolutely unbelievable i mean what what protects jordan of course is that he he is in a sense too

01:40:15.300 big to be intimidated and so he i don't know what the final result is of that thing but again it speaks

01:40:21.860 to such a dreadful reality where as you said you need to be sent to gulag 13 for re-education for the

01:40:29.380 criminally insane it's unbelievable can we be we were just talking about this in the you know the

01:40:35.760 matrix the first matrix um you know was they said in the first movie uh was to give everybody make

01:40:42.020 everybody happy and everybody had a perfect life and humans rejected it are we capable of truly being

01:40:48.780 happy in a good state i mean america has had some really bad things but the west generally speaking

01:40:57.240 has been good for mankind uh and we have a lifestyle bigger and better and easier than

01:41:04.320 anyone's ever had it but with the removal of some of that conflict it seems like

01:41:09.440 we just go to hell in the handbasket and start finding things to bitch and whine about 1.00

01:41:15.160 right well i mean that's one of the reasons why uh you know the the difficulties that i went through in

01:41:21.040 the lebanese civil war paradoxically actually actually make me a happier person because

01:41:26.040 right having experienced the horrors of what societies can typically dish out then i can always

01:41:33.700 contextualize whatever is causing me to whine about some issue in the day i can sort of stop myself and

01:41:39.420 say wait a minute stop whining you escaped miraculously the lebanese civil war and that quickly

01:41:45.820 kind of jolts me back into reality whereas i think the west takes for granted all of these foundational

01:41:50.780 values and therefore they go into hysteria because you make fun of someone's accent or you misgender

01:41:56.080 someone at wellesley put it in context and there are a lot more things to be worried about

01:42:01.000 well i i don't agree with what you just said about people from quebec but i mean if that's what you

01:42:08.320 want to say yeah uh again thank you so much i really appreciate it we'll uh we'll fly you down let's do a uh

01:42:17.020 uh let's do a podcast together because i i miss you and even though we don't know each other very

01:45:25.000 seen on joe rogan conan uh showtime all kinds of stuff uh and he was very very liberal and uh

01:45:34.400 i would say a little angry and depressed

01:45:38.040 just a bit just a little bit did that have to do with who i was hanging out with i don't know maybe

01:45:46.680 a little bit uh you have you've changed your life so much jamie and it's it's real and i would

01:45:55.840 have never pegged you for somebody who's like i found jesus i know uh and i bet you know it's like

01:46:02.760 it's me when i became a mormon i was like no that's crazy i don't want what do you i don't want to do

01:46:09.640 right it was just not something i wanted to do yeah but i but i found it to be true and i'm like okay

01:46:16.200 well then i gotta go uh is that kind of where you were yeah when you find it to be true that's the

01:46:22.220 big thing because yeah you know i would have mercilessly mocked someone like me you know 15

01:46:31.040 years ago where it's like okay you lost your friends and then you found jesus okay buddy like

01:46:36.660 when's the book tour coming uh right when's the merch of you and jesus holding hands on the beach or

01:46:42.400 whatever and the thing i mean you know like when you find god it's just you feel something you've

01:46:48.880 never felt and you don't feel the need to defend it you just kind of feel permanently changed and you

01:46:54.880 let it affect your life in the way it's supposed to affect your life also it is hard i wish it was

01:47:01.240 easy i wish i was just like yeah sure i found jesus and then i get a christian podcast and i go on like

01:47:06.380 the 700 club and all that stuff but being a buddhist was super easy i had to sit still and 1.00

01:47:11.360 meditate for 10 minutes a day and occasionally do psychedelics and i was like this is great

01:47:15.800 being a christian super hard dude like i feel like the merch like the baptism merch that's like you

01:47:21.780 know i was saved it should just say christianity is hard because you feel like you are constantly

01:47:27.180 holding yourself accountable to be the best version of yourself that you've ever been like i catch

01:47:32.880 myself whether it's in traffic or an argument with a girlfriend or you know about to blast some

01:47:37.720 stranger on instagram i just it's that cliche of like i know jesus wouldn't do this i shouldn't be

01:47:44.000 on stupid instagram and then you know um but the reward the reward is worth it because even when uh

01:47:49.900 even when i'm depressed i just i feel even when it's hard i feel different i still feel loved and i

01:47:55.940 never had that before it is interesting that you know the bible says you know the truth shall set you free

01:48:01.520 what the bible should say is the truth will make you miserable first so miserable it's like so

01:48:08.660 miserable it's like a hazing that happens right yeah it is it is especially in today's world i want

01:48:14.760 to play a comedy sketch uh from your uh back row podcast uh this is you and uh your girlfriend

01:49:19.460 love it let's change your instagram bios godly husband to anna stop stop this isn't meant to be

01:49:26.800 right stop this is this is so funny that uh i mean this isn't the clip i was looking for but it's just

01:49:34.320 as funny as the other one this is uh the two of you and i it's so funny being in utah where so many

01:49:42.720 people you know actually believe oh we shouldn't have we shouldn't have sex i'll talk to people who

01:49:49.640 are just married oh how long guys how long ago did you guys meet uh what three weeks ago

01:49:55.440 i mean that was one of those things where even i remember i got baptized and i'm like okay i got

01:50:02.780 baptized in november and i was like i'm not gonna have sex and then i was like well i'm not gonna

01:50:06.620 hook up and then i was like well let's just see what happens and but i went the longest it was the

01:50:11.800 longest i ever went without um hooking up i was saying no to people i felt really good but then

01:50:16.620 i mean this is where it it does get hard and i think that what here's what i'm trying to do on

01:50:21.220 the podcast what i'm trying to do on the podcast is not turn into the christian version of who i

01:50:25.760 was on the left and not suddenly be like if you don't find jesus you're gonna go to hell but be like 0.85

01:50:30.040 hey i'm still messed up dude i'm still struggling um it's still hard i still get depressed even when

01:50:35.520 i am christian because the problem is sometimes you get these christians that um the only solution

01:50:42.160 to their problem or to a problem you have is like we'll go read the bible more

01:50:46.520 and i'll tell you as a new christian i go to read the bible and i go i don't understand half of this

01:50:51.620 and it makes me feel almost worse i need to go to church i need my pastors to explain what things

01:50:56.580 mean i'm new and so you know on the podcast i talked about me trying to take sex off the table

01:51:03.100 but then suddenly i became like a porn guy and i've never even liked porn before and i think porn's

01:51:08.560 super insidious and um uh but it's kind of like uh when you start listening to taylor swift ironically

01:51:15.340 and then suddenly you like taylor swift like i was i was watching porn just to be like okay i don't

01:51:21.260 want to hook up so i'm just going to do this and this is and this is the better option and then

01:51:24.960 suddenly i was just like am i addicted to porn and so it is this constant everyday struggle it's not you

01:51:32.360 get baptized and you're perfect and i think that the the reason a lot of people stay away from god

01:51:37.660 or christianity or the church is because they think they kind of have to be perfect going into it

01:51:42.280 and so i am the podcast and the sketches i make i mean these were things i legitimately

01:51:46.940 thought about um i'm not making fun of christianity because i'm a christian i'm making fun of me

01:51:52.420 trying to do christianity and i i have been shocked by the amount of like long time christians the

01:51:59.760 amount of pastors who are writing me who are like thank you for talking about this stuff it's

01:52:03.480 ridiculous i can't talk about it and so that's kind of i think they have to yeah that's what keeps

01:52:09.400 people away from church i think yeah i don't want to be or i don't go i look at church as a hospital

01:52:15.600 right okay and it's triage yes and some people are nearly like you know and it's usually me i'm like

01:52:21.840 i really need to be here today yeah okay yep they just have a little booboo over there i'm hemorrhaging 0.64

01:52:27.300 yes and you if you look at it as a hospital of sick people not as a room full of doctors

01:52:34.840 yeah too many people look at it like a room full of doctors we're we're struggling you go to church

01:52:41.620 to be able to hold on hold the path and have just enough all i want is sunday go to church and can you

01:52:50.160 just fill my tank up with wanting to be a better person so i can make it through this week yeah and

01:52:57.420 then i'll see you here again and then if you screw up everybody forgets that's why forgiveness

01:53:05.300 is the main point jesus was trying to make dude i it's so funny i had to go to lunch with one of my

01:53:11.820 pastors and because of the old circle that i used to hang out with this sounds like a bit and it's not

01:53:18.120 this is true i legitimately did not know what the word grace meant like i knew forgiveness i knew love

01:53:24.060 but because there was just no grace in that you know liberal world that i was in i i legitimately

01:53:29.400 was like hey can you tell me what grace means and he like sent me a sermon explaining what grace is and

01:53:34.820 i was like oh and and the thing is back to what we were talking about before the reason i never went

01:53:40.900 to church is i would see these judgmental very flawed hypocritical christians who weren't acting like

01:53:47.040 they were hypocritical and i go okay i want nothing to do with this but then if you're actually

01:53:52.660 following jesus you realize that like christians should be the least judgmental people because

01:53:57.480 we know that we need jesus because we're all screw-ups and so the quicker most of us can admit

01:54:03.740 that like like my pastors do i'm so lucky i walked into the church i walked into because they talk about

01:54:09.740 it every sermon they're like hey don't listen to me i'm screwed up i'm i'm i'm i'm a human that's why

01:54:15.160 i need jesus let me lead you to jesus i think it was you maybe off air who told me to when i pray pray

01:54:21.940 like a conversation and that helped me so much because you know the first sketch i made was about

01:54:27.400 not knowing how to pray and it was just me having a mental breakdown trying to pray correctly and i

01:54:31.960 think a lot of people don't even pray because they think that and with you when you told me to treat

01:54:36.720 it like a relationship and that's what my pastors say as well oh man i mean that's that's life-changing

01:54:41.880 but that's not on a ton of youtube clips you know like a lot of youtube clips just make you feel worse

01:54:47.220 i tell you i uh my son just uh went to college and uh i miss him so much and i was checking my text

01:54:58.400 messages because now he's you know just working working working working all the time and uh and i

01:55:04.520 want to hear from him yeah and and i wrote to him and i said dude text your dad and then i thought to

01:55:12.160 myself oh my gosh have i even checked in with god have i checked in today with god and you know

01:55:19.820 who's who is my dad my spiritual dad you know i i think that's part of the things that we miss

01:55:27.620 to be able to get a true great relationship is just like hey dad thank you yep thank you for that i'm

01:55:34.980 just driving down the car right now and i'm just looking at how beautiful things are i just wanted

01:55:39.040 to check in say i'm doing great yep thank you that you nailed something i i literally thought

01:55:44.500 about this while jogging this morning at the hotel where i didn't believe the whole god is your father

01:55:49.320 analogy until i started thinking about this morning how badly i want his approval and how much i'm

01:55:54.000 disappointing him and i'm like ah that's the dad i know yes okay and i like stopped to write that down

01:56:00.780 because i was like okay i get it um but i what you said about gratitude because i've caught myself so

01:56:07.940 many times i'm an overthinker um i've been through it i've been homeless the amount of times i've

01:56:13.140 probably emailed you i've been like if you need any writers i am sleeping in my car uh it's been

01:56:18.460 such a struggle and i've been used to just fighting for myself fighting for myself and it's so ironic

01:56:24.060 because when things are good i'll be praying to god and you know all this gratitude and then when

01:56:28.960 things get rough again i automatically go back to that habit of i'll just take care of this or

01:56:34.100 literally being like i don't want to bother god like i have imposter syndrome like i don't deserve

01:56:38.500 to talk to him and when i don't know what to do because i've been going through a lot i mean honestly

01:56:45.360 this week i've been going through a lot and i i wrote myself to pray more because a lot of times

01:56:51.560 that's when we stop praying because we don't want to seem desperate or whatever and what you said is so

01:56:56.720 important if you don't know what to pray or if you don't know what to ask for um or you feel shame

01:57:02.280 about it show gratitude because when i don't know what to do when i don't know what's going on in my

01:57:06.320 life i will look at the sky i will put my phone away and i just go man thanks for this like things

01:57:11.480 suck right now and i don't know what i'm doing but like you look at the trees and the bird it sounds so

01:57:15.660 cliche and the bird in the sky and you just go this is nuts dude like this is still pretty cool thank you

01:57:20.020 for this and that gratitude i mean changes everything changes everything changes everything and you know

01:57:26.140 i don't know if you look you know god is our god is like the ultimate dad not like our real dad right

01:57:34.980 yeah well it's hard for people when they say you know treat him like your dad i was like oh that's not

01:57:40.180 that wasn't a good relationship no no and and this is like the ultimate dad and i'll tell you as you

01:57:46.720 growing become a dad yourself yeah you will understand him even more you'll understand him how

01:57:53.180 he when you know when the lord says you know love everyone love your neighbor it's the dad thing

01:58:01.800 in you i don't ever if my all these are my children i don't pick the children uh that i like and i don't

01:58:09.220 like i love them all and i want them all near me and i i'm certainly not like you you know what kid

01:58:15.580 you went to the wrong school i told you to go to yale go to hell yeah it just doesn't happen right 0.87
