00:03:45.400
i don't know it's it's just too amped up do we have anything
00:03:49.680
that reflects the stress and the pain that people are going through
00:03:57.120
thank you there's a new study out and it shows it shows that three and five millennials
00:04:07.400
say life now is more stressful than ever before the survey pointed out numerous causes of the
00:04:17.760
frustration for this young segment they feel that their their overall stress and the stress level
00:04:25.740
is caused by the accumulation of daily microaggressions yes microaggressions micro stressors that are
00:04:35.420
seemingly trivial experiences to some but no when you put them all together it's it's a very very sad sad
00:04:46.280
tale like well let me let me here let me give you the let me give you the list and i'm going to start at
00:04:54.380
the least stressful number 20 on the list because it's i mean some would say washing the dishes
00:05:02.140
is not really that stressful no it's it's not but when you couple it with number 19 on the top 20 list
00:05:12.700
of stressors for millennials i think you can see the damage that it can do washing the dishes and number 19
00:05:20.540
choosing what you have to wear oh my gosh yeah they have to do that by themselves yeah they have to
00:05:28.600
do it by themselves i mean first of all think of the dishes and the water going down a drain
00:05:33.000
please don't make me don't make me what what are those small scraps of food going down a drain do
00:05:39.260
don't even add that i'm just focused on washing the dishes screw the environment i'm just wow no no
00:05:46.380
that's not a very millennial attitude number 20 washing dishes we haven't even gotten to the
00:05:51.340
environment yet so washing the dishes and picking out the clothes don't don't add more to their stress
00:05:57.500
right because you have you know that beanie hat and the the jacket thing whatever that is and and they
00:06:08.320
put that on and there's three or four of them in there they need to select which one and they also
00:06:14.100
have to worry about job security nobody nobody ever in human history has had to worry about
00:06:20.300
washing the dishes choosing what to wear and job security that's never happened before never yeah
00:06:27.140
that's number eight most people what had ate off dirty dishes and went to work naked that is how
00:06:32.700
society's always been if they even went to work yep uh number 17 is school loan payments
00:06:39.220
number that's that's a good one although the approach to it is an interesting it's an interesting
00:06:45.540
solution for millennials which is you should just give it to me all for free that that'll solve that
00:06:50.200
stress right you know the other thing in this i mean well in my day and we would just say
00:07:00.800
that's probably yeah yes it is exactly what we said you know here's what i said when i was 18 years
00:07:11.020
old what college are you going to can't afford one that's that's that's wrong glenn no i know that's
00:07:17.620
wrong everyone should go to college so that they can spend 95 of their time not doing work that's a
00:07:23.500
guaranteed right to all i mean if you if you don't go to college take it from me kids you're gonna live
00:07:30.160
under a bridge uh you're never going to amount to anything you'll just disappear into the darkness
00:07:36.780
anybody who if you don't go to college there's no way in america to make it no way no oh definitely
00:07:44.260
no way uh number 16 of the list of millennial stressors is check engine light comes on number
00:07:52.460
15 is credit card bills number 14 is phone screen breaking oh that's a huge one number
00:08:00.140
number number number 13 is job interviews number 12 is paying the bills number 11 now we're not
00:08:08.460
in the top 10 yet number 11 most stressful thing that millennials have to deal with they say
00:08:14.800
and i want to quote i want to quote 58 percent say life is more stressful now
00:08:23.040
than ever before so number 11 is losing and misplacing keys number 10 forgetting the phone charger
00:08:35.960
number nine credit card fraud number eight forgetting passwords number seven most stressful thing in a
00:08:46.760
millennial life phone battery dying every one of these things has already there's already a
00:08:53.180
technological solution for like all of these right you're you you are not really i'm just i mean
00:09:02.040
you just said adding more stress to these poor souls have extra batteries they're easy they have cases
00:09:07.640
whatever whatever whatever detectors that yeah but is there a solution for number six slow wi-fi
00:09:14.520
yeah number five arriving late to work number four stressor on millennials number four losing phone
00:09:25.120
yeah where's your where's your technology there they have a lot of don't don't don't don't
00:09:29.560
they'll find my iphone yeah like it's actually built into the software number three commute and delays in traffic
00:09:38.860
number two stressor is arguing with partner and the number one most stressful thing on millennials
00:09:50.540
losing wallet or credit card wow that is how do they how do they how do they make it
00:09:59.540
how do they make it seriously how do they make it with this it's very difficult we're not done
00:10:04.240
sarah get that music back up we're not no no this is no it's crushing it's crushing it's crushing now
00:10:11.620
let me ask you this there's not like you know polio in there anywhere i'm doing yeah there wasn't
00:10:16.380
there's no polio uh there you'll notice there is also no global warming you would think if we only had
00:10:22.660
12 years that would be pretty stressful right so no global warming also i'd just like to point out
00:10:29.520
no world war one or world war two or cold war nowhere nowhere is the fear of being vaporized
00:10:38.180
uh on this list which is interesting you know well but the keys i remember the keys it's hard to find
00:10:46.200
your keys sometimes right and that is a big deal right uh but i i would say if we're looking at
00:10:52.560
if if you're if you're the three out of five that say life is more stressful now than ever before
00:10:59.980
i mean i would just say uh amputation without any kind of medication that might be a life without
00:11:08.560
antibiotics might be yeah one plowing and growing plowing your own fields and growing your own food
00:11:16.300
and then having a drought or rain might be how about so many plagues they started color coding them
00:11:22.660
right the black plague right let me make sure you know it's there's a lot of other ones but don't
00:11:27.780
get the black one don't get the black one that's really bad uh you know slavery that was pretty bad
00:11:33.640
slavery was pretty bad you know being picked up in the middle of the night and just without charges
00:11:38.500
and just thrown into a prison because uh the government could do it i'm very surprised i did not hear a
00:11:44.120
uh incorrect pronoun uh stressor all right because that one is really rough i mean just let's can we
00:11:50.920
can we weigh these uh slavery oh incorrect pronoun oh i mean whoa i don't teeter-tottering on the scale
00:12:02.480
back and forth i don't know which one is i don't know which one is worse that's it's an amazing
00:12:08.780
testament to how good things are maybe that you know losing my keys to my automobile
00:12:15.360
is a little is is is your bigger stress than being scooped up and put into a concentration camp because
00:12:22.660
you're a jew yeah yeah sure yeah yeah it might be uh it might be an indication that your life is sweet
00:12:30.560
yeah what is wrong with you and it also shows they obviously do not care about global warming in real
00:12:35.940
life it is just a it's a an issue to an ends the means to an end uh well we're gonna say we'll say
00:12:41.920
global inequality inequality that's not even stressed anybody apparently no no no uh dead naming
00:12:49.160
didn't really didn't uh didn't put anything out there how about how about if if if what is it
00:12:56.200
seven out of ten women are raped on campus that didn't make this washing the dishes did great point
00:13:04.520
fear of being raped on campus didn't we have a situation that we are told that women are being
00:13:11.440
raped on college campuses at a rate higher than the rwandan genocide right right and i think if you
00:13:17.580
would have asked the 20 somethings in rwanda during the genocide might have been in the top five i don't
00:13:24.000
know genocide i mean below washing dishes though right oh of course okay of course oh that's good you
00:13:30.140
know my whole family being raped and killed in front of me might have made their top 20 you know
00:13:36.520
but uh being raped on campus no uh-uh not there almost as if that statistic isn't near accurate
00:13:45.080
almost almost almost it's so amazing like college debt is the thing they worry about in college now
00:13:51.900
more than half of women are being raped at college campuses you'd think maybe you wouldn't take the debt
00:13:59.040
on to go right like why go to the place where you're almost definitely going to get raped right
00:14:04.960
what's the point of taking on debt to do that right and it's almost don't go to college we all
00:14:10.120
know right in reality that's not the case no that's not true that's not true it's almost like we all know
00:14:17.780
that in 12 years we're not all going to die from global warming it's almost if what you're saying
00:14:23.620
it's almost by the way oh man i lost my i lost my whole family in the rwandan genocide it was
00:14:30.200
horrible but yeah yeah well i lost my iphone okay where is it that's that's how bad my life is oh
00:14:39.060
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah your your mom and everybody raped in front of you whatever i lost my iphone
00:14:48.260

00:16:13.240
yeah i'm gonna i'm gonna hit this one out of the park tony robbins had a great uh conversation about
00:16:20.300
this he said um he said if he said most people do uh not most people he said a lot of people do
00:16:28.360
a crappy job and when you do a crappy job you get uh crappy uh crappy rewards he said now people

00:16:47.140
a good job you get should be good results he said usually now it's crappy results he said you have to do
00:16:55.460
an excellent job an outstanding job to get good results and you have to go even beyond that to get
00:17:03.920
great results and i think that's true i think that's true you can't just do a good job you know how how
00:17:12.620
how is he as an employee he's good that's going to get you a substandard result oh you know i don't
00:17:20.000

00:17:27.640
you earlier i don't i don't know what world tony robbins is i'm like happy when people show up whether
00:17:32.340
they do the work or not i'm just like happy they're actually there wow no i no i i agree with you

00:18:22.880
this is the glenbeck program so you've heard this claim it was not in the millennial stressors we just
00:18:40.640
covered but you've heard this claim from every presidential candidate running for the democrats
00:18:45.260
and so far it's 64 percent of the u.s population is running as a democratic uh candidate that's a
00:18:51.400
new stat that just came out um but strangely all of them socialists yeah which is a little disturbing
00:18:57.240
uh bob frank o'rourke you're familiar with this guy yeah um he is a he's an irish guy from texas
00:19:04.640
who kind of wants you to think he's hispanic oh you mean beto yes so beto uh said the other day
00:19:11.640
and you've heard this from alexandria casio cortez as well this is our final chance the scientists are
00:19:18.140
absolutely unanimous on this we have no more than 12 years to take incredibly bold action on this climate
00:19:25.300
crisis he said that in iowa um so the ap decided to actually fact check this because this has been an
00:19:32.320
interesting refrain i mean casio cortez has been saying it like crazy it's become a democratic
00:19:37.020
talking point 12 years why 12 years like they always say it's about a decade in the future is our
00:19:42.860
last chance and you you're supposed to forget that a decade ago they told us a decade in the future
00:19:48.260
is our last chance so this one is 12 years why is it 12 years well it's supposedly based on the the
00:19:55.400
un uh ipcc the internet intergovernmental panel on climate change and they use 2030 as a benchmark for
00:20:03.540
the paris agreement okay remember this paris agreement that the u.s pulled out of um now first of all now
00:20:08.520
it's a it's 11 years right we're already in 2019 right um but they what is the truth behind this they
00:20:14.960
actually decided to ask uh the facts according to the ap quote there is no scientific consensus much
00:20:20.880
less unit unit i can never say that word unanimity unanimity unanimity unanimity whatever that yeah
00:20:29.420
unanimity you yes yes that's it that the planet only has 12 years to fix the problem glad to clear
00:20:36.460
this up end quote says james scay co-chairman of the report and professor of sustainable energy at
00:20:42.460
imperial college london he told the associated press the panel quote did not say we have 12 years left to
00:20:48.420
save the world end quote i mean completely wrong these guys are out there telling us that there's
00:20:55.200
scientific consensus and almost 100 of scientists are saying it not near unanimity but 100 of scientists
00:21:03.640
are saying it and yet the people who actually did the report that are very alarmist on the climate by
00:21:09.960
the way they're not saying it's not a problem this is like this is the climate report people who have
00:21:14.980
been like the sky is falling the sky is falling these are the people that scare al gore when they're
00:21:20.940
talking about the climate and they say no the 12 years thing we don't know where that came from we're
00:21:26.080
glad to clear it up no period i mean that we did not say we have 12 years to save the world end quote
00:21:35.580
it can't be any clearer than this and they still are trotting it out all over the place it'll be
00:21:40.500
interesting if this finally puts uh this to rest i doubt it no because it's got nothing to do with
00:21:45.060
the climate it's got nothing to do with that that's why you're stressed out about your keys
00:21:48.020
you're stressed out about the vehicle you'll say is killing the climate you want to drive it more
00:21:54.100
you tell us you should be happy that you lost your keys yes you're not killing the earth finally
00:22:00.460
right i mean all of the things i mean think of almost every one of the the stressors has to do
00:22:05.580
with uh with some negative effect to the climate right all the technology that's using electricity
00:22:11.820
the cars they can't find the keys even the batteries even the batteries yeah they're terrible
00:22:17.940
for the environment if these were real worries wouldn't that be dominating the list of stressors
00:22:23.500
do you remember you're too young to remember i remember what it was like when we thought we were
00:22:29.420
going to be vaporized okay when we thought it was easy for someone in russia to launch missiles and we
00:22:35.920

slash podcast this is the glenn beck program there is a new book out the right side of history how reason
00:25:02.060
and moral purpose made the west great by ben shapiro ben joins us now hi ben
00:25:11.140
how are you oh there you are hi ben how are you um i'm doing well how are you i'm i'm good uh so so uh
00:25:20.000
the right side of history this really this book kind of came out of a few conversations that you had
00:25:27.320
with some of the members of the intellectual dark web did it not uh to a certain extent i mean it came
00:25:33.300
at the very beginning out of the 2016 election and just the generalized feeling that everybody
00:25:37.960
sort of hated each other and you looked around you wait a second everybody is living in the most
00:25:43.580
splendid sort of prosperity in the history of mankind people are living to record ages people
00:25:48.960
are living in the freest society where they're allowed to do pretty much anything they want so
00:25:52.080
long as they don't punch somebody else in the face and yet we are all really pissed at each other
00:25:57.040
yeah and so i and so i was i started to wonder why is it that everybody seems so unhappy why are
00:26:01.940
suicide rates going up why are we having this opioid epidemic why is everybody so unhappy in what should
00:26:06.620
be the happiest time yeah i just read a uh uh headline today i think it was maybe the wall street journal
00:26:12.580
um about the um the greatest job market in a century that's what they're calling this the greatest job
00:26:22.500
market in a century and you wouldn't know that you'd think we were in the great depression
00:26:28.040
yeah that's exactly right and and not just that you you would think that you know we are in the the
00:26:34.600
worst racial time in our history right that white supremacy on the one side and and you know anger on the
00:26:41.400
other side and that everybody just hates each other and you would believe that we are divided by class
00:26:47.700
in a way that we've never been divided before that it's the one percent against the 99 and none of this
00:26:52.800
happens to be true we happen to live in the most racially equal time in the history of mankind if
00:26:56.520
you could be born into any time this would be the time that you would choose and so the question
00:27:00.660
becomes why are we so angry and i think that the real reason is because anger fills something that we
00:27:05.880
are missing and that is a true sense of what happiness is and what politically we need in order to to be
00:27:13.880
happy we've sort of redefined happiness to mean feeling joy at a particular time or whatever our
00:27:19.580
subjective emotions tell us at a particular time self-esteem has been mixed up with happiness but if
00:27:24.180
you look back to the ancients if you look back to the the judeo-christian system happiness has nothing
00:27:28.560
to do with any of those things happiness has to do with pursuing moral purpose using reason and that
00:27:33.100
that was always the basis of western civilization and so i started thinking about maybe the reason that
00:27:38.360
we're so angry at each other is because we've lost what we used to share we lost what we had in common which
00:27:42.140
was this common adherence to a set of values that we used to call western civilized values
00:27:46.300
yeah we don't um you know nietzsche is often misunderstood when he's talking about you know
00:27:52.380
god is dead everybody's like oh he was declaring god is dead and that's a great thing no he's actually
00:27:56.480
saying it's a warning we've just killed god congratulations we've just killed god science is
00:28:02.240
reigning however god is he'll be found someplace else what are we going to replace him with
00:28:09.880
and you know it wasn't too many years later that they found national socialism and adolf hitler
00:28:15.100
replacing god and that's kind of the same thing now is we've we've we're destroying god and
00:28:21.880
everything we we always had moses and jesus as our as our archetypes well they're destroyed so who's our
00:28:30.000
archetype now that's exactly right i mean judeo-christian values didn't just lay the foundation for our
00:28:37.000
moral system they also laid the foundation for science they laid the foundation for the idea
00:28:41.200
that reason matters because if you're a scientific materialist if you're somebody who believes that
00:28:45.840
all of humanity we're basically just wandering balls of meat firing neurons wandering through space
00:28:51.380
then not only is there no morality but there's also no such thing as reason why should we argue
00:28:56.740
with each other we are just again wandering balls of meat wandering through space why not use force
00:29:00.840
on one another what exactly do we share at that point why not why not side up with tribes and go
00:29:06.420
to battle with other tribes and that's what we're beginning to see is there's this god-shaped hole in
00:29:10.860
our heart we're filling it with anger we feel a sense of meaning and a sense of belonging by getting
00:29:15.580
angry at other groups whether it's other groups politically or whether it's other groups racially
00:29:20.220
and it's really ugly and it's really a problem this is this is a fundamental betrayal of what it was
00:29:27.340
that the west built in the first place the west was built on certain principles it's kind of
00:29:30.520
fascinating glenn when you look at this this manifesto from the shooter in new zealand and
00:29:35.840
nobody should read it because we don't want to give it any sort of play the one thing that that is
00:29:40.600
clear is he keeps using the term the west and he keeps using it to mean white supremacy and on the
00:29:45.600
left what you see is people who define the west in much the same way they'll say western civilization
00:29:49.740
has to go you know we shouldn't be teaching about it because all it really is is a system of
00:29:54.060
dominance by people who are more powerful it's a system of white hierarchy that's not what the west
00:29:58.680
is about at all what made the west unique is the fact that it was about the notion of individual
00:30:02.000
rights the notion that we are all made in god's image on the one hand on the religious sense and
00:30:06.620
the notion that we have to use reason to pursue the best outcomes on the other hand which is it which
00:30:11.600
is a greek notion and the combination of those two notions built america which i think is the greatest
00:30:17.140
exposition of western philosophy in the history of mankind and we're losing that we're losing
00:30:23.980
that because we've decided that that god should not and does not exist and so there is no actual
00:30:30.800
rationale for believing there's a higher morality we can sort of craft morality however we want
00:30:35.000
and on the other hand we believe that reason is no longer useful because you can't understand me after
00:30:39.540
all you don't come from the same background that i do and if you don't come from the same background
00:30:43.340
that i do then how can we have a common conversation so what is the role of the university you address
00:30:48.940
this what is the role of the university now and how do we how do we get it back to you know diverse
00:30:57.720
thinking and and reason and logic well i mean i think the only way to do that is for the american people
00:31:05.980
to actually demand it as always the responsibility lies with us it's certainly no question that universities
00:31:11.400
used to be the place where people studied greek and latin and actually learned the the ancients
00:31:16.940
in the original language and understood what were the foundational principles of the civilization
00:31:21.560
and they've become almost the reverse of that they've been taken over by the critical studies genre which
00:31:27.480
is devoted specifically to the idea that the west is basically just a hierarchy of power that has to be
00:31:33.480
torn out at its roots this is something that was done by the frankfurt school it was done by
00:31:39.120
post post-structuralist marxists in the university system and it's been seen as a
00:31:43.400
as a pseudo sophisticated argument against western civilization the truth is of course that the
00:31:49.160
university still rests as all of us do in the west on that we're still we're still working off
00:31:54.200
the fumes of a gas tank that we emptied ourselves so if you think of western civilization as having
00:31:59.640
these values and that's the gas in the engine and then we decide which way we want to steer the car
00:32:03.380
right now the car is empty because we haven't actually refilled that gas we're just living off
00:32:08.140
the fumes but we're pretending that we're moving as of our own momentum so how how how much longer do
00:32:13.200
we have on those fumes i mean i see i mean ben you know you and i were talking a year ago about how bad
00:32:22.040
things are they are they are so uh rapidly changing we are we are running towards socialism we are running
00:32:33.420
towards infanticide uh we're running towards our own destruction now how much longer do these does
00:32:40.680
this car run yeah i'm not sure that it runs too much longer absent a real re-examination of why
00:32:48.380
exactly america is fantastic and that starts with the premise that america is fantastic and the west
00:32:52.300
is fantastic and that's a kind that itself is a controversial proposition but if you really don't
00:32:57.020
believe the west is fantastic you should visit another civilization you should spend some time there
00:33:00.900
because the west is a pretty incredible place and the and as you say i feel like you know we are
00:33:07.840
running out i feel like those of us who are conservative we we need to become better better
00:33:14.460
representatives of our philosophy and it can't just be about we want lower taxes and we want less
00:33:20.480
government intervention we have to we have to say what what is it in human nature that demands these
00:33:24.940
things what is it in the system that means that human beings are happier under this because the
00:33:29.680
argument that's being made for socialism right now is not in fact an argument for prosperity it's not
00:33:33.520
that we're all going to be better off and we're all going to be more prosperous nobody believes that
00:33:36.800
you read the green new deal and you can see that the folks on the left don't believe that what they
00:33:40.600
are actually saying is that there's a sense of meaning to be found in some sort of shared quest
00:33:44.800
that's why they're constantly referring to sort of these wartime ethics that we're in a war and
00:33:49.280
because we're in a war therefore we should all mobilize in war-like fashion well you can mobilize
00:33:53.920
people that way but you're mobilizing them towards something that's not going to bring them
00:33:56.840
happiness the truth is that happiness can only be brought by social fabric resting on a common
00:34:00.960
frame of morality and by the belief that individuals can make a difference in the world that we have
00:34:05.840
free will and reason to pursue and that we are bound to our neighbors not by force of government
00:34:09.900
by voluntary belief that these people are our brothers and sisters so the de toqueville said i looked for
00:34:15.400
the success of america and i couldn't find it anywhere until i went into its churches and there i saw it
00:34:21.140
burning on the pulpits uh it was it was the pulpit it was the priest and the pastors and the and the
00:34:28.740
rabbis and everybody else that that were speaking these truths that you're not seeing anymore you know
00:34:34.660
we were we were losing the uh civil war until about the middle of it when abraham lincoln said you know
00:34:42.440
what we got to make this about the end of slavery and we need a day of fast and prayer and humiliation
00:34:48.060
we needed we needed a day of atonement we didn't lose i think we only lost one more battle after
00:34:55.640
that day we lost everything before it and only one battle after you say today we have to i mean when
00:35:03.220
when you can't get the senate to say we won't kill babies after they're born when you can't get the
00:35:10.500
senate we have so withdrawn from from god there's just there's no protection left
00:35:17.180
you talk to people and say hey we should probably we should probably turn around and say hey forgive
00:35:23.000
us for everything that we've done and can you just can you help heal us nobody nobody's thinking that
00:35:29.940
way you can't say that in in regular open society no well i mean we we've become a very secular society
00:35:36.680
and here's the thing the argument of the book isn't that you have to be a religious person to be a
00:35:40.120
person i know you don't believe that either glenn right but what you do have to do is you have to
00:35:44.260
make certain assumptions about human nature that i think are religious in nature and if you don't
00:35:49.540
make those assumptions and if you try to rip away the the undergirding for those assumptions in the
00:35:55.340
in the religious belief system you're really hurting everybody else and and you see this for for a lot
00:36:00.240
of folks who live on the coast who still have sort of an ersatz social fabric created by country clubs
00:36:06.300
or by college or by social groups and they live very conservative lifestyles and this is a point that
00:36:11.080
charles murray has made and at the same time they're ripping on churches they're suggesting
00:36:15.500
that judeo-christian values are bad what do they think is holding up the value system that maintains
00:36:20.140
the country in the rest of the country outside of la and new york it really is it's not it's not
00:36:24.440
a tenant to yale guys yeah it's it's the argument that ben franklin made to thomas pain he's like you
00:36:30.920
know you grew up in this system created by these people you you you have a liberty because of that and
00:36:38.040
you're enjoying those fruits that are allowing you to to tear it apart but you it's it's a suicidal
00:36:44.540
task that you're on it's the difference between the french revolution and the american revolution
00:36:49.280
pain of course is a huge fan of the french revolution and edmund burke of course is not and
00:36:53.760
pain's basic argument was that we need to get rid of religion religion is what has stood in the way
00:36:59.200
of human progress and the burkean argument is wait a second it's religion that has stood behind
00:37:03.380
human progress that doesn't mean that judeo-christianity has always been free and wonderful
00:37:09.220
or that it's always been interpreted properly in accordance with freedom but this value system
00:37:13.700
the enlightenment these these values that i hold the same that sam harris militant atheist holds
00:37:18.240
those values didn't come out of nowhere they didn't spring into being in 1760 for no reason at all in
00:37:23.180
one place in one time in one one segment of history they sprang into being because there are foundations
00:37:28.960
to that that was the third story that was the third story of the philosophy that the foundations
00:37:33.340
were laid at athens and they were laid at sinai and ignoring all of that and deriding all of that
00:37:38.360
in favor of what tribalism and subjectivism it's it's it's tearing the country apart so we need to
00:37:43.840
get back to our roots because the truth is we still do have more in common than we than we have apart
00:37:48.980
you know as as lincoln said we still are brothers rather than enemies but the moment that we
00:37:53.260
lose what made us brothers than we are enemies uh ben shapiro from the dailywire.com he's got a new

uh sarah if we can get the television control room to play some of the the video that was just
00:45:31.480
played in the audio in the four minute buzz and let's start with uh elizabeth warren and what she
00:45:38.240
was talking about on health care the center is about making sure that every single person in
00:45:44.940
this country gets the coverage they need and that it's at a price that they can afford we start with
00:45:51.940
our values we'll get to the right place so theoretically though there could be a role for
00:45:58.280
private insurance companies under president or there could be there could be a temporary role
00:46:02.360
even bernie's plan has a runway before it gets there um because it's a look it's a big and complex
00:46:08.840
system and we've got to make sure that we land this in a way that doesn't do any harm everybody has
00:46:15.780
got to stay covered so focahontas is asking for a temporary role for the free market now remember
00:46:27.040
this is exactly what we told you they would do yeah and this is really far i mean this is not just
00:46:33.420
medicare for all this is eliminating private insurance this is something that the canadian
00:46:39.260
supreme court overturned because they didn't have access to private insurance and they famously said
00:46:45.860
access to a waiting list is not access to health care um but that was one of the things people wanted
00:46:50.900
like let me get my own health care then i can't get on the i'm get a waiting list forever i let me at
00:46:55.340
least buy my own health care and it was illegal in canada the canadian supreme court said no you
00:46:59.580
can't do that that's what elizabeth warren is is arguing for this was overruled as nuts in canada
00:47:06.860
in the mid-2000s and now elizabeth warren and kamala harris has said the same thing and bernie
00:47:11.920
sanders is saying the same thing this is a step beyond what we thought of medicare for all which
00:47:16.160
was an option for people to get into medicare now you're forced into it because there's no private
00:47:21.420
options after a runway so i i want to just remind people and you need to say this to your you need
00:47:27.280
to say this to your friends and neighbors who are are democrats say look uh let's just step back here
00:47:36.320
for a second from all the rhetoric we told you that obamacare would not work okay you got obamacare
00:47:45.400
you had it and the democrats forget about donald trump the democrats were saying that we needed to
00:47:53.040
go to a single-payer system the medicaid or medicare for all while while barack obama was still in office
00:48:04.320
we told you that it wouldn't work and we went a step further we told you that the people that were
00:48:10.700
proposing this were socialists and wanted a single-payer universal health care system without
00:48:18.680
the private uh insurance and that they wanted to take over the hospitals just like in england
00:48:26.300
that's what we're talking about now you can listen to the people who lied to you who said that they
00:48:33.020
were never for a single-payer health care system that obamacare would absolutely work and that you were
00:48:40.680
going to get money back you were going to get up to two thousand dollars back you were going to save
00:48:47.720
that much money have you saved money the answer is no so why would you continue to listen to the people
00:48:55.840
who gave you this instead of listening to the people who said here's what's going to happen and
00:49:03.700
that's exactly what happened yeah and in what world is it rational to give the same people who argued
00:49:13.180
for the program they all admit now is failing why would you give them more control now this is what
00:49:20.840
eight years later their program that they said was going to solve your health care ills eight years later
00:49:27.820
they're all standing in front of you telling you it's such a disaster we now have to go to socialized
00:49:33.320
medicine you're going to trust them they're the people that got you into this they are the people
00:49:39.120
who design the system currently in effect that you're complaining about and you want to give them
00:49:44.720
in less than a decade of rolling out their last big solution you want to give them control for the next big
00:49:50.800
solution that's just insanity when they lied to you it's not just that they were wrong yep they lied to
00:49:57.320
you they said they were not for these things they said that they were not socialists and now you can't
00:50:04.220
get any of them to say that they're a capitalist they will all say that they're socialists but they
00:50:09.500
won't say that they're a capitalist or that the free market has a system other than in transition
00:50:15.200
that's a problem they also took an oath to the constitution of the united states now let me play
00:50:25.620
cory booker on what he's talking about doing with the supreme court i think we need to fix the
00:50:31.000
supreme court i think they stole the supreme court seat can we keep it at nine should we keep it at
00:50:34.580
nine i think i would like to start exploring a lot of options and we should have a national
00:50:38.060
conversation term limits for supreme court justices might be one thing to give every president to the
00:50:42.900
ability to choose three uh we have people holding on to those seats in ways that i don't think is
00:50:47.620
necessarily healthy so i want to figure out limit look i i think we term limits might be a better
00:50:53.740
way of saying that chris matthews is terrible how about using a sentence no no no yeah you know it's
00:51:04.280
what's amazing bananas how is this guy on television still he's been on television since before there was
00:51:14.380
television i don't know so you have cory booker and cory booker is saying well i think we should
00:51:22.360
explore all options they're now talking about packing the court should there only be nine
00:51:29.240
what's the option here packing the court because the congress decided oh about 150 years ago it should
00:51:41.560
be nine it should be nine the last time they tried to pack the court which just means oh we're gonna
00:51:48.960
have 12 or we're gonna put enough in there so so we have our our side has control it's packing the court
00:51:55.260
the last time they tried that was with fdr and it failed now they're coming back to it again
00:52:03.540
we're repeating all of the policies and all of the ideas that happened during the great depression
00:52:10.600
the thing that made congress i want you to think about this we we all look at um or we're taught
00:52:18.480
that fdr was one of the greatest presidents ever right well he's also the president that put the
00:52:25.920
japanese an entire race of people in internment camps he also almost single-handedly destroyed
00:52:35.680
the capitalist system if it wasn't for world war ii he would have destroyed us to the point to where
00:52:43.600
we got out of the war and the slogan for the republicans was have you had enough yet
00:52:51.360
because in 1946 they were still still in the same position that they were in in 1933
00:53:01.260
and by the way and the over overwhelming answer to the question have you had enough yet was yes
00:53:08.020
that's why they amended the constitution so that couldn't happen again exactly right so we all remember
00:53:13.160
him because we're taught that he was so great how could the country pass so quickly a resolution that
00:53:20.880
says that can never happen with the presidency ever again they were so afraid of totalitarianism
00:53:28.780
that they knew if we don't fix this now we will go to a totalitarian state so now what are they doing
00:53:36.440
they're talking about packing the supreme court which would make it a totalitarian state they love
00:53:43.560
the power of the executive branch i didn't like it with obama i don't like it with donald trump
00:53:47.980
they love the power of the executive branch they're now talking about taking away the electoral
00:53:53.860
college the electoral college makes it a totalitarian country it was there for a reason
00:54:02.380
wait the electoral college getting rid of it get rid of a getting rid of it leads to a totalitarian
00:54:09.500
society where the the big cities and the biggest states control how everyone else lives
00:54:17.460
i'm sorry this is a very big country new york should not tell texas how to live texas should not be
00:54:27.020
able to tell you know uh wyoming or or rhode island how to live and i think honestly the the issue with
00:54:34.580
the national popular vote is a little different than that in some ways in that it's really just going
00:54:41.280
to be cities telling rural areas where i don't even think it's going to be austin texas telling
00:54:47.600
you know uh some rural area of texas what to do because why would you ever campaign in any place
00:54:54.000
other than a city if you're going for the maximum amount of votes all they'll do is go to the cities
00:54:58.940
all the time and pass and the states well yeah i think states too where wherever the largest group of
00:55:04.820
people are going to iowa no you're not going to iowa no you're going to go to ohio you'll go to
00:55:10.740
texas to california uh new york and florida and to the cities you'll go to you'll pass everybody will
00:55:18.580
be um trying to pass policies that do things for cities because that they will be trying to please
00:55:27.680
large groups of population rather than rather than going to the entire state in all of their
00:55:32.780
interest there's no reason to go to the entire state they're not even states at that point we
00:55:37.260
don't even have states you won't even if as far as the national you know we are discussion five or
00:55:42.580
eight uh seats away here in the house uh here in texas in our legislature we're under 10 seats away
00:55:50.980
from losing control to the democrats people don't have any idea how much money has been spent here in
00:55:58.560
texas they're trying to flip texas blue oh and how and how bad 2018 really was i mean it was uh
00:56:04.740
it was worse than advertised when especially when you go to the lower levels i mean the senate was
00:56:09.920
the only thing that was positive and that was almost exclusively structural i mean the the republicans
00:56:14.900
had a real structural advantage going into 2018 so they they were able to pick up a seat or two
00:56:19.540
but the house was a disaster the and and below that it was really really bad as well state houses
00:56:26.120
i mean you lose texas and we've lost the country with the electoral college you lose texas and it's
00:56:33.560
over republicans will never win a national never again you say never these things do change i mean
00:56:38.320
ronald reagan won california right i mean these things do change over time but i mean it's going
00:56:42.880
to be really freaking hard i don't know what your path is if you start losing texas so now we have this
00:56:47.640
i want to show you i want to show you another guy andrew yang and what he is what he is uh his policies are
00:56:55.480
he's running for president and he's getting a lot of millennial voters they're calling him the ross

i want to know what the postal banking system is
00:59:46.600
and he says the only way to do that is to impose a vat tax
01:00:27.840
you know it's good whenever you have imperial in it
01:01:42.040
that's exactly what's one thing that rhymes with yang
01:01:43.760
i didn't want to say it because i thought i might get arrested
01:02:16.980
think of how many jokes you could make with the amount of words that rhyme with yang
01:02:28.880
because we got to do something with these uh these malls
01:02:39.500
uh and it would it would be the legion of builders and destroyers i'm quoting uh with a commander instead of a secretary
01:02:52.820
i mean usually people don't like dictator wasn't a bad word when people called each other dictators
01:03:00.800
it became an insult after people started becoming dictators and then killing all their citizens
01:03:06.180
it became a little bit of an insult but back in the day it was a positive thing
01:03:09.280
usually you don't intentionally name things that are
01:03:14.100
what a commander of the legion of builders and destroyers
01:03:20.380
uh by the way uh he does not he is not for universal basic income
01:04:10.060
you notice a stranger following you into the stores
01:04:21.020
because it's going to make your shopping experience easier
01:04:23.260
you would never go to that creepy place ever again
01:04:29.020
that's why i recommend that you get norton secure vpn
01:05:45.820
if you've been out in the movie theaters lately
01:07:00.580
you're deprived of oxygen and and everything else
01:07:47.420
we had some incredible miracles happen in the room
01:07:50.760
because not only was he without a pulse for an hour
01:07:54.600
um when joyce walked in the room and prayed holy spirit
01:08:23.180
and one of the most iconic pictures in the story
01:48:09.460
when they can predict anywhere from 93% certain
01:50:35.540
comes out you completely change the way society
01:50:45.780
have a lot more prosperity what technologies do
01:50:49.080
is they challenge existing orders and it doesn't
01:51:00.340
incentive that while that change is occurring to
01:51:03.220
try to figure out how to best manage it how to best
01:51:05.500
utilize them how to adapt to the new world they
01:51:07.960
create and then you find this equilibrium where
01:51:10.860
things are slightly better or much better or slightly
01:51:23.720
uh well you're still against the printing press as
01:51:27.160
far as i understand yeah right right i mean i agree
01:51:29.920
with him on this uh however he takes on a few other topics
01:51:35.200
uh for instance ai and agi and says that he doesn't
01:51:40.520
yeah that was i haven't heard that that it's not going
01:51:43.840
to happen a lot i think some people believe it's going
01:51:45.560
to be mostly positive results but he didn't really didn't
01:51:48.920
even think that it was going to happen at least in the
01:51:50.740
short term i mean he he didn't think that we would
01:51:56.180
transhumanism you know he's a really he's very well
01:52:00.380
read he is he has studied this he knows it he and he
01:52:05.940
is he is warning of people uh the same kind of people
01:52:10.300
that i am that just go blindly into this and haven't really thought things
01:52:19.320
optimist on these things are not going to happen
01:52:22.460
did he say where he wanted transhumanists to go to the bathroom
01:52:24.800
like which one did they go in that that's something we need to get into
01:52:28.320
well i don't even know what the little symbol looks like
01:52:31.260
as a transhumanist he also talked about uh technology and unemployment listen
01:52:35.740
yes retraining is hard for people over 50 and this is what's happened in almost
01:52:43.500
um we remember the industrial revolution as being
01:52:47.180
we have all these new technologies the world is much more productive we're all
01:52:52.880
people living through it who had to uproot themselves from rural communities
01:52:55.760
and pack into unsanitary urban centers it took time for us to learn how to
01:53:02.460
develop the institutions and the kind of governance needed to
01:53:06.880
make sure that this is better than it was before that this
01:53:10.160
opportunity was taken advantage of and we're going through a similar
01:53:13.500
upheaval right now and the people that are most affected by
01:53:17.180
the kinds of um automation occurring are usually older
01:53:22.140
people who have been at one company for their entire life
01:53:25.480
who've learned something very specialized and applicable to that company
01:53:28.800
when that job disappears they don't really know how to apply those skills to
01:53:32.900
something different correct and number two are young people
01:53:36.440
just entering the workforce a lot of them do routine work routine work is
01:53:42.580
and i think this pretty well parallels the two types of
01:53:46.360
um people who are most frustrated with the current political scene
01:53:49.980
young millennials looking for work and older people who've lost their
01:53:53.960
classical jobs and so you're right we have to talk to them we have to
01:53:58.080
figure out how do we address their concerns but the second point that you
01:54:01.520
brought up is silicon valley doesn't talk to 90 percent of the country but
01:54:05.300
they're going to get their way anyways i don't agree that that's the case and
01:54:09.240
the reason why that's not the case is most of these technologies um if you look
01:54:14.220
at the cool advancements happening in artificial intelligence right now
01:54:17.380
they're not being filtered into the real world at all they're fancy lab
01:54:21.840
experiments and the reason why is most people have no idea how to use them
01:54:26.500
they don't know how to put them into their businesses they don't know how to
01:54:29.740
reorganize their their factories to make to leverage these improvements
01:54:33.140
and unless the silicon valley talks to the other 90 percent
01:54:37.000
these technologies will be for them and you'll have a couple people be really rich
01:54:41.080
off of them they don't really make that wide of an impact though
01:54:43.640
i i i so strongly disagree with you look at google but i want you to hear both
01:54:50.280
sides of the argument and he is he's probably one of the best to be able to
01:54:56.080
make the other case and he's very optimistic and very smart and uh and and
01:55:01.440
really well worth your time it's our free podcast it comes out on saturdays this
01:55:06.960

this is a guy who um was really deeply screwed up as a kid was hearing voices and
01:55:32.340
everything else and uh the voices told him go to the golden gate bridge and kill
01:55:39.120
yourself and he didn't want to and he was hoping someone he was praying actually that
01:55:46.000
someone would stop him and they didn't and he thought he had to kill himself
01:55:53.400
and he goes over the rail and as soon as he let go he realized what have i done and
01:56:02.340
he prayed god save me the miracle of this guy and what happened to him is incredible how
01:56:13.340
he was sale how he was saved when we tie it up all at the end it's an absolute miracle and if you
01:56:22.380

01:59:47.820
potatoes and gravy which was delicious they still have that thing i liked when kfc went down the road
01:59:53.580
of like you know what people are they just want to eat the fried chicken let's just make that the bun
01:59:57.680
remember when they did that they were like what they just had the bun of the sandwich were two
02:00:03.600
chicken patties you held it by the chicken patties with no bun the bun was the chicken and then in
02:00:09.900
the middle they just jam some like cheese and bacon and sauce and so you're just i don't remember
02:00:14.760
those days those are good days it's called the double down that's what it was called the double
02:00:18.660
down wow that's innovation that's you know that's when you know the thing i didn't like about kfc
02:00:23.800
is stop being afraid of saying fried right it's fried you're a fried chicken place ain't no
02:00:32.280
hiding you know that at least there's at least 10 percent of the country out there is like you
02:00:36.520

02:00:42.020

02:01:07.940
country that's going to vote for somebody like beto or bernie sanders or uh elizabeth warren
02:01:15.340
i mean you're telling me that the kfc thing doesn't work to fool people into being healthy
02:01:20.440
seriously i have i think it does are you telling me can i've never seen any man card that needed to
02:01:29.860
be revoked more than beto's oh well when beto said when he said yeah you know i'm on the road
02:01:36.560
working and my wife is at home she's really raising the kids really without me what the hell is wrong
02:01:42.300
with that she's he's trying to give her credit to she's doing a lot of which she most likely
02:01:47.180
deserve sure and then he comes out and he's like i'm sorry i didn't have my pantyhose on right and
02:01:53.600
oh i should wear a dress and i'm so sorry and i didn't notice that that was really bad but i'm
02:02:00.720
never gonna say that again that was such a weird apology what are you apologizing oh my gosh being a
02:02:06.120
being a uh a beta male he's not he's he is nowhere near uh an alpha male no way no way and that's
02:02:16.720
coming from you yes currently training is colonel sanders that's what i mean yeah isn't there isn't
02:02:22.220
there's never been a better case than a man's uh a man card being taken from him than that particular
02:02:29.280
thing just hang your head in shame i don't even think eating a double down sandwich gets your man
02:02:34.900
card back after that you almost have to put chicken in the middle of a chicken sandwich with
02:02:38.860
the two buns or chicken and the chicken has to be live right it has to be just two chickens feathers
02:02:44.080
and all i'm eating it anyway that's what it needs to be that coming from colonel sanders
02:02:51.440
who knows what's good for chickens and what's bad for america is socialism
