00:01:01.200 Yeah!

00:01:02.400 Woo!

00:01:03.060 We could just rip each other apart.

00:01:05.860 The good thing is, is that we're not going to be doing the ripping apart.

00:01:09.940 Yes.

00:01:10.080 This time.

00:01:10.920 It's a lot more fun than last time.

00:01:11.980 Yes, this time the left is going to be doing it, and the fun has already begun.

00:01:17.980 We go there in 60 seconds.

00:01:20.740 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:25.920 You know, I have to tell you, Stu, I don't think I can read the white man's propaganda here.

00:01:31.840 You people are just so...

00:01:33.920 Hmm.

00:01:35.100 I don't know.

00:01:35.720 I mean, I believe the land belongs to the great spirit in the sky, and you can't really own land,

00:01:43.580 and now you want me to read this for what?

00:01:46.100 For some of your, for some of your, your, your, what you call money?

00:01:50.660 No.

00:01:51.680 Not going to do it.

00:01:52.180 You're, you're white.

00:01:54.880 Uh, no.

00:01:55.660 No, sir.

00:01:56.760 No, sir.

00:01:57.220 I found out because of a company that run by white people, I'm sure, come up with your

00:02:02.460 white magic here.

00:02:04.500 Uh, I, uh, found that I am, uh, 1.3%.

00:02:09.320 Let me put it this way.

00:02:10.400 I am 13 times more Native American than, uh, Elizabeth Warren.

00:02:15.820 Really?

00:02:16.300 I'm just saying.

00:02:16.820 That's amazing.

00:02:17.360 I am just saying.

00:02:18.600 13 times more.

00:02:19.880 And my son is three times more black than she is Native American.

00:02:24.900 And I'm tired of the oppression.

00:02:27.980 You are a diverse family.

00:02:30.060 We are.

00:02:30.560 We are.

00:02:31.320 We are.

00:02:32.100 We are.

00:02:33.080 Uh, and I'm tired of the oppression.

00:02:34.900 And if you're tired of the oppression too, come on.

00:02:37.860 You can play this game.

00:02:40.100 Because I don't know how, what percentage I am Native American.

00:02:42.500 I could be even higher than you.

00:02:45.000 I have not had my 23andMe test.

00:02:46.760 Just like the white man.

00:02:47.200 Just like the white man.

00:02:48.060 You know how the white man will do you?

00:02:50.240 Really?

00:02:50.680 You want to take away my heritage?

00:02:51.940 You just want to claim my heritage?

00:02:53.400 Is that what it is?

00:02:53.840 I would like to know the truth of my heritage.

00:02:55.860 And then maybe, maybe I'll have an even better characteristic than you.

00:03:01.560 Uh, I don't think so.

00:03:03.040 Uh, but that's the way the white man will do you.

00:03:04.800 Why don't you just throw me some beads too?

00:03:06.680 And I can just, I can just, uh, I can just put my whole culture on the, on the altar of

00:03:10.620 the white man.

00:03:11.720 If you would like to join me in my tribe, uh, find out.

00:03:16.040 You can find out now if you're 1.3 or higher.

00:03:18.840 I don't accept anything lower than 1.3 in my tribe.

00:03:21.520 That's really the dividing line.

00:03:23.040 It really is.

00:03:24.140 Between the fake and the real.

00:03:25.780 1.3.

00:03:26.880 Yeah.

00:03:27.240 Uh, find out if you can join my tribe and you can do that now by going to 23andMe.com.

00:03:32.560 That's 23andMe.com.

00:03:35.040 Uh, use 23andMe.com slash back.

00:03:37.960 Uh, and who knows?

00:03:39.980 Who knows?

00:03:40.600 Maybe we're sitting around in the sweat lodge together.

00:03:44.020 Could happen.

00:03:45.100 Happened to me.

00:03:45.840 It's changed my life.

00:03:46.840 I've been able to reconnect just in the last, well, it's been about 36 hours since I found

00:03:51.860 out.

00:03:52.320 And all of a sudden I understand so much more.

00:03:55.100 Uh, I understand my, my, my draw really to Native American art.

00:04:00.960 I, you know, that's true.

00:04:02.120 That's true.

00:04:02.640 That's actually true.

00:04:03.320 I'm very much into Native American.

00:04:05.080 My wife is crazy.

00:04:07.440 I think it's that.

00:04:08.320 I think it's that.

00:04:08.820 I think it's that 1.3.

00:04:10.020 It's been, it's been inside of me.

00:04:11.900 Did your wife is crazy have anything to do with the rest of the story?

00:04:14.500 You just seen a throw out in, in the middle there.

00:04:16.400 I don't know.

00:04:16.980 My wife, my, my, my, I drive my wife crazy with all of the Native Americans.

00:04:19.720 Oh, that's not what you said.

00:04:20.740 You just said your wife was crazy.

00:04:22.140 Oh, no.

00:04:22.460 I meant to say my wife.

00:04:23.400 Well, I'm sorry.

00:04:23.940 I'm, I'm starting to drop prepositions now.

00:04:26.960 Uh, for some unknown reason.

00:04:28.420 I don't know why.

00:04:29.400 Uh, so, but, uh, you know.

00:04:32.500 This is a, this is a late acting Native American in heritage.

00:04:36.340 Yeah, it is very late acting.

00:04:38.360 It took a few decades to kick in.

00:04:39.840 Oh, you know, don't try to understand my culture.

00:04:41.520 And don't talk down to me.

00:04:42.900 Okay.

00:04:43.860 Uh, 23andme.com slash Beck.

00:04:46.660 We're going to change that to Chief Big Bone.

00:04:49.400 Uh, because that's what I am.

00:04:50.420 Chief Big Bone.

00:04:51.500 It's either Big Bone or Big Bones.

00:04:53.440 Uh, one might be a slam.

00:04:55.700 I'm not sure.

00:04:56.860 Uh, but, uh, we're going to change it.

00:04:58.940 But right now it's 23andme.com slash Beck.

00:05:02.500 I want that changed.

00:05:07.540 I want that to change to Chief Big Bones.

00:05:13.020 You did take a DNA test.

00:05:15.740 I did.

00:05:16.240 And actually, I want to talk to you seriously about this.

00:05:18.640 This is the, this is one of the coolest things I've ever done.

00:05:21.580 And not because I believe I, well, I am, you know, 1.3% Native American, but I, I, I do

00:05:27.800 have perspective on that, that that doesn't mean that I'm Native American or part of a

00:05:31.880 tribe or anything else.

00:05:33.360 You are going to include it on, on federal documents, though, right?

00:05:35.760 Oh my gosh, I'm going for grants.

00:05:37.640 I'm going for grants.

00:05:38.300 You've got to get some grants out of this.

00:05:39.100 I've got to get some grants.

00:05:39.960 You should get 13 times more grants than Elizabeth Warren ever has received.

00:05:43.680 That's exactly right.

00:05:44.340 I'm, I'm going to, I'm, you know, I've already gone to Yale, so I'm going to now, uh, apply

00:05:49.040 to Harvard.

00:05:50.140 And I'm going to mark Native American.

00:05:52.820 This, this is the plot of Soul Man, uh, the movie from 1986.

00:05:58.660 No, but what, did he have a DNA test?

00:06:00.420 He did not.

00:06:01.020 He just, he just went in blackface and everyone in the New York Times cheered it as a hilarious

00:06:04.880 romp.

00:06:05.500 Yeah.

00:06:06.000 Mm-hmm.

00:06:06.840 In 1986.

00:06:07.320 So now, here's the good thing is, uh, the good thing, I, I found out that I, I'm not a

00:06:11.040 carrier for any kind of like genetic diseases, which is great.

00:06:14.840 It's also shocking.

00:06:16.200 I mean, you seem to have every disease I've ever heard of.

00:06:18.560 Yeah, no, I mean, I, I, I think I, I did look at it.

00:06:21.740 And go, I think this, not because of the Native American thing, because that's absolutely

00:06:26.440 real.

00:06:28.460 But the disease thing, you know, no, no real problems genetically.

00:06:33.420 I don't believe that.

00:06:34.460 I don't believe that for a second.

00:06:35.800 So you'll believe the things that you want to believe out of the DNA report.

00:06:39.240 Maybe, maybe.

00:06:41.740 OJ did the same thing.

00:06:43.140 He was like, yeah, no, that's not my blood.

00:06:44.600 Sure.

00:06:44.760 That's what the DNA says, but that's not my blood.

00:06:46.520 It worked for him for a while.

00:06:48.320 Maybe that's why my people are, have a problem with alcoholism.

00:06:52.260 Maybe it is because of the oppression of the white man and you giving us fire water that

00:06:58.280 we can't handle.

00:06:59.540 Maybe that, oh my gosh, I've got, I've got to, is there a civil rights attorney?

00:07:05.800 Is there some, I don't even know who to go because the white man has oppressed me so much.

00:07:09.920 I don't even know who to reach out to that I could get special status because of the

00:07:17.320 white man's fire water.

00:07:18.800 It wrecked my life.

00:07:20.820 That's probably why I'm an alcoholic.

00:07:24.200 This is now you achieving the American dream, the new American dream.

00:07:28.340 Of being a victim.

00:07:28.820 Of being a victim.

00:07:29.840 Yes.

00:07:29.920 You've achieved it.

00:07:30.980 Yeah, now it might be a little offensive to some people.

00:07:36.620 White people?

00:07:37.380 Well, somebody, there's probably somebody out there that would be offended.

00:07:42.640 I don't know who would be offended by this, but they're not in my tribe.

00:07:46.480 Right.

00:07:47.580 By the way, I am not Cherokee.

00:07:50.120 I want you to know, I am not, I don't know what tribe I am.

00:07:52.980 I suspect, I suspect only because I come from such a noble line that I am Grand Cherokee.

00:08:00.160 Uh, which either we were named after the Jeep or the Jeep was named after us.

00:08:05.380 I'm not sure, but I believe, I believe I am not Cherokee.

00:08:08.660 I want to make that very clear.

00:08:09.660 I'm not part of any Native American tribe because, because you have a little blood in

00:08:13.580 you, does not make you Elizabeth Warren, does not make you a member of a tribe.

00:08:18.700 But I do believe I'm part of the Grand Cherokee tribe.

00:08:23.520 Is that above the normal Cherokee tribe?

00:08:26.220 I don't, I don't want to say that.

00:08:27.620 I wouldn't say that.

00:08:28.500 Some people.

00:08:29.420 It has more features.

00:08:30.480 Some people would say it has more features.

00:08:31.940 It has more features.

00:08:32.720 It has air conditioning.

00:08:33.640 Right.

00:08:34.060 It has air conditioning.

00:08:35.040 And that's, you know, that's an important thing.

00:08:36.680 In our, in our, in our sweat lodges, we don't sweat.

00:08:39.620 We have air conditioning and automatic windows.

00:08:41.900 I don't think it's a sweat lodge if you have air conditioning.

00:08:44.420 Well, it's a sweat lodge because it used to be, you know, everybody used to go in there,

00:08:47.980 but then the Grand Cherokee, you know, when chief, when chief big bones got in there, he

00:08:53.360 said, you know what we should do?

00:08:55.420 The great spirit told me air conditioning and automatic windows.

00:09:00.740 And so we installed electric windows that just go down.

00:09:03.760 You push a button.

00:09:04.260 You're sitting in their seat, really comfortable.

00:09:06.220 Some come with massage features and you sit there and you push a little button and the

00:09:10.780 windows go down.

00:09:11.900 We don't want to run the air conditioning because we know better than you, white man,

00:09:17.340 about the environment we care.

00:09:20.220 So we first just roll down the windows with our electric windows.

00:09:23.520 And then in our Grand Cherokee sweat lodge, we'll turn on the air conditioning.

00:09:28.380 It really gets bad, but we will roll the windows back up.

00:09:30.960 Seems to be a little wasteful of energy for someone that loves the earth so much, where

00:09:35.260 you'd open up the windows and run the air conditioning at the same time.

00:09:38.340 Well, we're using green energy.

00:09:40.320 Okay.

00:09:40.680 We're using the power of the, uh, power of, um, uh, fire.

00:09:45.380 We're using fire.

00:09:47.740 Fire power?

00:09:48.700 Fire power.

00:09:49.360 Okay.

00:09:49.860 Yeah.

00:09:50.480 Can I, I don't want to be insulting to you and your, your newly discovered Native American.

00:09:56.800 36 hours.

00:09:57.640 That, I wouldn't say that's new.

00:09:58.600 I say, I say, I say, I say, I say that is a, that is a, that's a, that's a, that's, you're

00:10:05.060 calling my ancestors young.

00:10:07.160 They weren't young.

00:10:08.100 This has been in, this has been coming for thousands of years, perhaps 80 years.

00:10:12.260 We don't know, but it's been a lot longer, but 36 hours is not just yesterday.

00:10:16.780 Well, but when 20 of them were spent sleeping, I mean, that's really not.

00:10:21.000 Well, 36 hours isn't yesterday.

00:10:22.420 You want to claim that 36 hours is yesterday?

00:10:24.740 No, you were not born yesterday.

00:10:26.380 You were born the day before yesterday in this particular example.

00:10:29.480 Whatever.

00:10:29.700 But did you, was there ever any sign of this heritage before you got the results from this

00:10:37.320 DNA test?

00:10:38.300 Was there ever any, anything that in the, in your past?

00:10:41.940 No, because the white man took away my way of life.

00:10:45.120 I mean, look, they took, they took the whole Grand Cherokee Nation and they, they put us

00:10:50.340 on this reservation and they took away our, our way of life.

00:10:53.640 They took away our tomahawk.

00:10:55.400 They took away our bow and knife.

00:10:57.780 They took away my native tongue.

00:11:00.660 Yeah.

00:11:01.700 And then, and then they taught the, you know, English to our young and, uh, and all the

00:11:07.780 beads we made in, you know, by hand, they're all now made in Japan.

00:11:11.780 You've never made a bead in your life.

00:11:14.680 Cherokee people, Cherokee tribe.

00:11:17.160 I mean, it's.

00:11:18.000 You mean Grand Cherokee people?

00:11:19.800 Grand Cherokee people?

00:11:20.580 Oh, you can say that.

00:11:21.780 Uh, I like to shorten it sometimes.

00:11:23.380 It's a little more lyrical.

00:11:25.540 Um, you know, but whatever.

00:11:27.400 I mean, Grand Cherokee, Cherokee, you know, uh, you know, so proud to live and so proud

00:11:32.480 to die.

00:11:33.020 I mean, taking advantage of the results of it.

00:11:35.940 You know, they took the entire whole Indian nation and they locked us on this reservation.

00:11:41.420 And though I wear a shirt and tie, I'm still part red man deep inside.

00:11:45.920 I'm 1.3 red man deep inside.

00:11:48.600 I just want you to know that Grand Cherokee people, Grand Cherokee tribe.

00:11:53.580 So proud to live, so proud to die.

00:11:57.220 So your reservation is Irving, Texas?

00:11:59.280 That was the, uh, the reservation you've been put on?

00:12:01.780 You know, maybe someday, maybe someday when you learn, the Grand Cherokee nation will return.

00:12:07.940 We'll return.

00:12:09.360 We'll return.

00:12:10.280 We'll return.

00:12:11.160 We'll return.

00:12:12.260 Maybe.

00:12:12.740 Now that's a, a, a powerful tale that you tell.

00:12:17.380 Thank you.

00:12:17.920 However, it does seem reminiscent of a song that your people stole, Paul Revere and the

00:12:27.640 Raiders.

00:12:28.480 Yeah.

00:12:29.320 Yeah.

00:12:29.760 It might, it might sound a little familiar.

00:12:32.280 Cause they stole it.

00:12:33.280 Why don't you just, you know what?

00:12:34.160 I'm going to take a 60 second break.

00:12:35.960 You just wallow in your guilt.

00:12:40.060 Well, look at, oh my gosh.

00:12:41.440 Look at.

00:12:43.120 Hang on.

00:12:43.800 I don't know.

00:12:45.060 I get blown.

00:12:46.140 What are you doing to your eye?

00:12:49.100 I, I, I, I was just thinking about trash and I think about what you've done to my nation.

00:12:56.880 You're blowing into your own eye.

00:12:58.720 It's not working yet.

00:12:59.840 It will.

00:13:00.340 See, that's, I'm only 1.1.3% Native American.

00:13:04.840 So if you were a good two and a half percent, the tear would just come down every time you

00:13:08.320 thought of trash.

00:13:09.140 Every time I thought of trash, it would just come right down off my face.

00:13:12.120 Yes.

00:13:13.220 Huh.

00:13:14.060 If you're an attorney that knows how to sue for oppression, would you please let me know?

00:13:20.100 No white man need apply.

00:13:22.940 All right.

00:13:23.540 What if they can get you a lot of money?

00:13:25.220 What if the white man can get you a lot of money on the case?

00:13:28.620 Well, there's about 98.7 of me that says that's okay.

00:13:34.100 Okay.

00:13:34.840 Okay.

00:13:35.680 Okay.

00:13:36.120 All right.

00:13:36.360 So you'll go with it.

00:13:37.680 Well, it's, I will have that.

00:13:39.380 We'll take it into the tribal lodge.

00:13:41.300 I'll take it into council.

00:13:42.580 The air conditioned.

00:13:44.060 Tribal lodge.

00:13:44.900 Yeah.

00:13:45.500 To be a cyber criminal, all the coffee, all the, all the thing you need is a coffee shop.

00:13:49.940 You just go to, you know, you just go to a Starbucks and check out the wifi and it's

00:13:54.180 a hunting ground where you hunted all of our buffalo.

00:13:57.360 Uh, except, uh, it could be an airport, could be a hotel.

00:14:02.060 Any place with public wifi is hunting ground for cyber criminals.

00:14:06.420 So if you're on, if you're on wifi, they can have access to everything.

00:14:11.580 Absolutely everything.

00:14:12.660 Now there is something that I think everybody needs today.

00:14:15.480 And that is Norton secure VPN.

00:14:18.140 I think this is a lot like, remember when we talked about life lock and, uh, you started

00:14:24.020 talking about it, you know, 10 years ago or whatever.

00:14:26.100 And you were like, okay, well, I'm not sure if everybody's going to need, you know, protection

00:14:30.380 on your identity.

00:14:31.240 Now everybody must have it.

00:14:34.280 VPN is the same thing, except this is going to happen real fast.

00:14:39.140 You're going to need a VPN.

00:14:41.360 You should, you should have one right now, but everyone will know what a VPN is soon because

00:14:47.200 what it's a virtual private network.

00:14:49.680 What it does is it allows you to log on, but not from your computer.

00:14:53.780 You are logging on to a network of virtual private network, and you might be using the computer

00:15:00.340 from, you know, Sweden or Holland or Germany or England, and then it jumps all around.

00:15:06.000 So people like Facebook or cyber criminals cannot know, they don't know who's online.

00:15:11.540 They can't grab your stuff.

00:15:13.380 It's a VPN.

00:15:14.540 The people who have been protecting you for a long time, when it comes to cyber crime is

00:15:21.120 Norton, Norton security.

00:15:23.460 I want you to go to Norton.com slash VPN and get a VPN.

00:15:28.800 It's easy to use.

00:15:29.900 You just go there.

00:15:30.980 Now it's $3 and 33 cents a month, and you can get it your own virtual private network.

00:15:38.840 Norton.com slash VPN, Norton.com slash VPN.

00:15:43.000 10 second break for station ID.

00:15:44.860 I'm going to go through the polls here.

00:16:00.140 Yeah, I have some bad news for your tribe.

00:16:04.500 Please don't insult my tribe.

00:16:06.540 I'm not insulting your tribe.

00:16:07.800 I'm trying to give you...

00:16:08.360 I would assume you're Elizabeth Warren voter because you're a Native American.

00:16:10.980 Oh, I am not.

00:16:11.240 She's a fraud.

00:16:12.360 She's a fraud?

00:16:13.100 I am 13 times more Native American than she is, and I'm tired of these people wearing their

00:16:17.920 little piece of my heritage on their sleeve and then claiming, oh, I'm Native American.

00:16:26.920 I'm 13 times more Native American than she is.

00:16:29.280 But anyway, tell me about the poll, white man.

00:16:31.300 Well, Joe Biden is leading a new poll of Democratic primary candidates in New Hampshire with 28%

00:16:38.800 of the vote.

00:16:39.380 Now, of course, he has not announced yet.

00:16:40.680 He is expected to announce at some point, although it's not confirmed.

00:16:44.640 20% said they'd vote for Bernie Sanders.

00:16:47.440 Now, Sanders won New Hampshire against Clinton, if I remember correctly.

00:16:51.100 So he's done well there.

00:16:53.660 In third place is Kamala Harris with 14%.

00:16:57.900 And then Elizabeth Warren in fourth place at 9%.

00:17:02.800 Now, there are approximately zero paths to the nomination that do not have Elizabeth Warren winning

00:17:08.660 New Hampshire.

00:17:09.360 She has to win New Hampshire.

00:17:10.760 It's the state right next door.

00:17:12.820 She can't lose New Hampshire.

00:17:14.680 If she loses the Northeast, she's toast.

00:17:18.360 She's done.

00:17:19.320 She's toast.

00:17:19.880 And she's already losing.

00:17:20.980 I mean, if you look at this as, okay, well, there's three candidates in her supposed lane,

00:17:26.980 right, where you have Bernie Sanders, Kamala Harris, and Elizabeth Warren all sort of competing

00:17:30.600 for the same voters.

00:17:31.800 Those voters are overwhelmingly going away from her.

00:17:35.120 Joe Biden is kind of a different candidate, or at least that's how he's expected to run,

00:17:38.640 as a tad more moderate.

00:17:40.680 I mean, now moderation is like Barack Obama.

00:17:43.820 Barack Obama is a right-wing candidate in the Democratic Party now, which is incredible.

00:17:48.480 What's strange is he's really actually not.

00:17:51.420 He just opened this door.

00:17:52.540 The fundamental transformation was to open the door for Marxism and get people to look at

00:17:59.300 it and embrace it and be comfortable enough saying it in their own party.

00:18:04.580 So he moved that ball down the road.

00:18:07.140 And by being able to cry race and racism, be able to shut people up as they were doing

00:18:15.080 these Marxist things.

00:18:16.240 So again, what he believes and what he said, and in this case, even what he did, he just

00:18:22.760 opened the door.

00:18:23.480 I mean, to give you a sense of how far it's gone, John Delaney, who is a former Maryland

00:18:29.000 congressperson.

00:18:30.000 He's the most conservative out of all of the candidates running.

00:18:33.580 Right.

00:18:33.740 Like that's what he's positioning himself as.

00:18:35.640 He says things like, I think capitalism is the greatest job creator that's ever happened.

00:18:41.200 Right.

00:18:41.280 Like he'll speak positively.

00:18:43.500 He's a businessman.

00:18:44.820 He's trying to say, hey, like we can be normal blue collar Democrats.

00:18:48.300 That's what we need to do.

00:18:49.120 That's the winning coalition.

00:18:51.380 He proposed opposition.

00:18:55.720 He had opposition towards the Green New Deal and said the Green New Deal is, you know, it's

00:18:59.980 it's crazy.

00:19:00.740 It's never going to happen.

00:19:02.060 It's socialism.

00:19:03.380 And, you know, that's not who we are.

00:19:05.720 He said, what I support is a massive carbon tax that will get rid of, I think he said,

00:19:12.500 95 percent of all carbon emissions.

00:19:14.480 So to give you a sense, this is the most supposedly the most conservative, most moderate Democrat

00:19:22.620 in the field.

00:19:24.280 And Barack Obama never fully embraced a carbon tax.

00:19:28.300 He occasionally said positive things, but never proposed it as as the plan to go on.

00:19:32.920 The most conservative guy in the field is considerably to the left of Barack Obama.

00:19:38.300 Same thing on health care.

00:19:39.740 He is he is demanding not Medicare for all.

00:19:42.540 That's crazy.

00:19:43.080 That's socialism.

00:19:43.600 What I want is a public option for everyone to go to.

00:19:47.260 Now, that's that's about equal with Obama as a candidate, but to the left of Obama as

00:19:52.480 a president.

00:19:53.640 Because Obama is a president with Obamacare did not get his public option.

00:19:57.940 I mean, think of that.

00:19:59.540 This is a guy who is has is pulling at one percent because he's completely out of the

00:20:04.420 mainstream of the party at this point.

00:20:05.860 And he is to the left of Barack Obama as president of the United States on multiple

00:20:10.680 major issues.

00:20:11.360 I don't know how Joe Biden is going to do it.

00:20:12.620 I don't know either sincerely.

00:20:14.040 I think he could just try to run more left, which is possible.

00:20:17.500 But he's going to no matter what he does, he's going to be more to the right of, you

00:20:22.260 know, Bernie Sanders and Kamala Harris and all these people.

00:20:25.260 So I think his argument is, look, we did this already.

00:20:30.260 All these people have all these crazy ideas.

00:20:32.300 We already did this.

00:20:33.260 We did.

00:20:33.540 I was there for eight years.

00:20:34.740 We won.

00:20:35.620 We won twice.

00:20:36.940 We can win again.

00:20:38.200 There's a good formula that has shown that, you know, this country goes in the right direction

00:20:41.720 when I'm when I'm involved.

00:20:43.060 And that's an argument that does not work for me, but would work on a lot of Democrats.

00:20:47.780 I think I think the the the people that aren't socialists, right, the people who aren't looking

00:20:53.580 for every crazy idea that for free can relate to a Joe Biden and say, look, this guy's at least

00:21:01.160 where do you see that coalition?

00:21:03.580 I mean, the Tea Party rose up because they the Republicans lost their values.

00:21:08.920 And and, you know, in the end, I think they just crushed the Tea Party, but we made an impact

00:21:15.580 as well.

00:21:17.340 And and as a result of it, you do have Donald Trump.

00:21:24.800 Where is the coalition to rise up against the socialism in the Democratic Party?

00:21:33.100 Where are the Democrats who are like, you know what?

00:21:35.260 I don't want to end the free market system.

00:21:37.260 Where are they?

00:21:37.860 There does not seem to be a lot.

00:21:40.000 However, I think that's largely because we're getting a representation from the media and

00:21:45.020 these candidates.

00:21:45.900 I think when you have actual voters casting votes, the average Democrat in Iowa that shows

00:21:51.960 up for a caucus might not be all that socialist.

00:21:55.240 So I agree with not in Iowa.

00:21:57.120 I agree with you.

00:22:00.380 I should say this.

00:22:01.460 I really want to believe that's true.

00:22:03.560 But if my party had gone off the rails this far on especially on things like life and

00:22:10.980 actually calling for an end of capitalism, I wouldn't just be talking about it with my

00:22:16.440 friends over dinner.

00:22:17.560 I would be actively saying, wait a minute, where are you going and not with me?

00:22:23.760 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

00:22:27.680 American Financing Corporation, NMLS 182334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

00:22:34.920 It's a bad time to be a renter, and I think it's only going to get worse.

00:22:37.220 According to new research, the national average rent rose 4.2% last year.

00:22:42.360 If you are a renter, it's only going to get worse.

00:22:45.440 And if you're feeling that pain, maybe it's time to consider other options, like buying

00:22:49.700 a home with help from American Financing.

00:22:52.500 You know, what I really love about American Financing, I was just talking to them yesterday,

00:22:58.620 and they get, sometimes they'll get bad reviews because they won't give people a loan.

00:23:05.120 They'll be like, no, we can't do it.

00:23:06.740 The CEO was telling me just yesterday that a friend was using their service and said,

00:23:13.860 you're going to lose money on this in the long run.

00:23:16.580 This is not a good idea for you.

00:24:13.560 Hello, pale face.

00:24:14.600 I'm upset about this cultural appropriation going on here.

00:24:17.980 Thank you.

00:24:18.560 Me too.

00:24:19.200 Are you?

00:24:19.720 For years, I've talked about my entire Cherokee Nation being put away on a reservation.

00:24:24.260 Yeah.

00:24:24.460 They took away all my ways of life.

00:24:27.100 The tomahawk, the bow, and knife.

00:24:29.320 I don't like this.

00:24:30.500 I don't like this.

00:24:32.360 I don't like it.

00:24:33.760 Language?

00:24:34.380 Are you 1.3?

00:24:35.680 Native tongue?

00:24:36.120 Are you 1.3 Native American?

00:24:38.820 Dang English, you are young.

00:24:40.300 Are you Native American?

00:24:41.620 Probably much, much more than 1.3%.

00:24:44.360 Well, I want you to go to 23andme.com.

00:24:47.040 I'm going to do that.

00:24:47.780 I am going to do that.

00:24:49.040 And I do have the kid at home, actually.

00:24:50.860 Do you?

00:24:51.360 Haven't done it yet.

00:24:52.220 Yeah.

00:24:52.600 Do it.

00:24:53.040 I need to spit in it.

00:24:53.900 Honestly, it is one of the greatest things I've ever done.

00:24:55.940 You have to do it, Stu.

00:24:57.000 Yeah.

00:24:57.620 I mean, I've never really even thought about it.

00:25:00.160 You know what?

00:25:00.560 Yours is going to come back?

00:25:01.520 What?

00:25:02.120 Terrorist.

00:25:03.040 Yeah.

00:25:03.220 Is that one of the categories?

00:25:04.600 No, but it probably will just, on you, it'll probably come back 99% French terrorist.

00:25:11.240 French terrorist?

00:25:11.960 Almost all terrorists are French.

00:25:14.140 Really?

00:25:14.880 Right?

00:25:15.660 Watch 24.

00:25:16.380 Well, now, wait a minute, wait a minute.

00:25:17.300 I've got a lot of French in me, so that's not true, you bastard.

00:25:20.340 Don't talk about my culture that way.

00:25:21.460 Well, there's sometimes South Africa, too.

00:25:23.840 Sometimes.

00:25:24.640 Those are the only two places terrorists come from.

00:25:26.420 Yeah, there's France and there's South Africa.

00:25:27.860 Well, no, you could be Serbian.

00:25:29.440 You could be a Serbian terrorist as well.

00:25:31.200 Okay, all right, okay.

00:25:31.780 So there's three white places where you could possibly be a terrorist.

00:25:35.140 Right.

00:25:35.520 Alaska.

00:25:36.240 You could come from Alaska.

00:25:37.360 Easy.

00:25:37.680 No, those are generally my people.

00:25:38.320 I've never seen it.

00:25:39.080 I've never seen it.

00:25:40.180 Yeah, those are generally my people.

00:25:41.660 Those are Glenn's people.

00:25:42.580 Yeah, Glenn's people up there.

00:25:44.100 Mm-hmm.

00:25:44.660 So, Pat, we were talking about, you know, off the air, about, you know, how wildly offensive

00:25:54.720 it is for me to, you know, just co-op.

00:25:58.120 Well, I'm not.

00:25:58.760 I'm not.

00:25:59.060 I'm not Cherokee.

00:26:00.140 I'm Grand Cherokee.

00:26:01.360 Jeep was named after me.

00:26:02.880 Oh.

00:26:03.140 You were named after Jeep.

00:26:03.820 We were named after the, and I say, I don't mean to say me, we, my people, named after

00:26:08.760 the Jeep, or the Jeep was named after us.

00:26:10.600 I'm not sure.

00:26:12.260 I like to think of it the other way around, because it's a proud, long heritage.

00:26:16.660 Mm-hmm.

00:26:16.760 Now, that could be offensive to some, but why would anyone on the left be offended by that?

00:26:25.120 I mean, you, you, you can just claim whatever you are.

00:26:30.380 I have the scientific proof.

00:26:33.020 You can just say, I identify as a black woman.

00:26:36.840 And you were 0% black woman, and that would still be okay.

00:26:39.740 Right.

00:26:40.120 Right.

00:26:40.360 You're 1.3%, so you're way ahead of the game on this one.

00:26:43.240 Right.

00:26:43.260 That is the beauty of it.

00:26:44.300 You can't identify as anything you want.

00:26:46.720 You can.

00:26:47.200 And, uh, we're, we're working on a third gender that's non-binary.

00:26:51.860 We're.

00:26:52.600 Yeah, big part of the Kirsten Gillibrand platform.

00:26:55.720 Yeah.

00:26:56.060 She wants to introduce this.

00:26:57.400 What is it?

00:26:57.600 Do you want to talk about science deniers?

00:26:59.500 Oh, my gosh.

00:27:00.300 Isn't it amazing?

00:27:01.360 It's incredible.

00:27:02.640 Between the gender, the identity thing, you could be black if you're white, white if you're

00:27:07.400 black.

00:27:07.740 You could be not a man or a woman, but some third or fourth or 97th gender.

00:27:14.260 I, you know, I just tweeted something.

00:27:16.040 I just tweeted something this morning, and it's really, really, I mean, it is like a,

00:27:21.200 it's like a fiery furnace for snowflakes.

00:27:25.360 Um, uh, and I can't even play it on the air because it would just be one solid beep.

00:27:31.120 Um, but it is a video here.

00:27:34.120 Let me see if I can get the name of it.

00:27:35.520 Uh, I saw it on YouTube.

00:27:37.140 But Joyner Lucas, I'm not racist.

00:27:39.920 Have you guys seen that?

00:27:40.940 No.

00:27:42.100 Okay.

00:27:42.820 Who's Joyner Lucas?

00:27:44.160 I don't even know who he is.

00:27:46.140 Uh, but it has 112 million views.

00:27:52.060 Okay.

00:27:52.600 Wow.

00:27:53.140 Yeah.

00:27:53.440 Joyner Lucas, I'm not a racist.

00:27:55.120 And it starts with a white guy, um, who looks like the typical racist, uh, and he's wearing

00:28:03.000 a MAGA hat and he's like, look, and he's talking.

00:28:07.140 To a black guy who is stereotypical, you know, dreadlock and everything else.

00:28:13.000 And, and he's like, and he's just lecturing him on, I'm not a racist.

00:28:17.320 These things are happening.

00:28:18.480 And he's making all the points that people are, are making, uh, you know, from, from the,

00:28:23.300 from the white side.

00:28:25.020 And then halfway through the black guy gets up and he is throwing it down and saying, I'm

00:28:33.840 not a racist.

00:28:34.460 And he's saying all these things to the white guy.

00:28:37.560 And both sides are true.

00:28:41.240 You listen to it and both sides are true.

00:28:44.620 Hmm.

00:28:45.420 And they're saying, if I could just, well, you know, the last line from the white guy

00:28:48.660 is if I just knew your story, maybe I'd know, but I'm not a racist.

00:28:54.460 And then the other guy's like, oh, that's really, that's your story.

00:28:56.920 Well, let me tell you about my story and it's ugly.

00:29:00.760 It's ugly, but it's true.

00:29:04.340 And it's because we are throwing, you're a racist around.

00:29:09.120 We'll never hear it.

00:29:11.780 We'll never hear the other side because we're trying to use race as a tool to divide us.

00:29:20.180 It's a battering ram, right?

00:29:25.340 Just because I am, just because, you know, I get my DNA test back and I'm German.

00:29:31.880 I'm French.

00:29:33.100 Doesn't mean I'm going to build a war machine or surrender.

00:29:37.220 I'll probably do both.

00:29:40.140 It doesn't mean that.

00:29:42.500 You'll surrender just as soon as you get across the Maginot line.

00:29:46.160 Yeah.

00:29:46.880 That's right.

00:29:47.380 The Maginot line worked well.

00:29:48.840 That was a good idea by the French.

00:29:51.520 Impenetrable.

00:29:52.000 Yeah.

00:29:52.380 Because for about a minute and a half.

00:29:53.940 Well, there was all those trees.

00:29:55.720 They're not going to come through all those trees.

00:29:57.460 Except the tank did.

00:29:59.500 Well, yeah, but you're not going to be able to hang on just a second.

00:30:01.920 You're not going to be able to decimate all of those tanks that are buried there in the dirt.

00:30:08.420 What are you going to drop something from the sky?

00:30:10.420 That's a great point.

00:30:11.760 Great point.

00:30:12.580 If we were meant to fly, we'd have wings.

00:30:14.860 Am I right?

00:30:15.760 Exactly right.

00:30:16.460 Bombs would have wings.

00:30:18.840 If you were meant to go through Belgium, the Germans would have been born in Belgium.

00:30:25.900 Anyway, so there's another big piece of news that has come out, and that is on civil asset forfeiture.

00:30:32.020 Now, this isn't direct to civil asset forfeiture, but it appears as though it is a good start.

00:30:39.480 It's a good start, and it was a unanimous decision by the Supreme Court, written by Ginsburg, and all of them were on the same page, and it is giving constitutional power to the local authorities, saying, you guys are just taking people's assets, and you can't do it.

00:31:03.600 And it applies to the states as well as the federal government.

00:31:06.640 And local governments.

00:31:07.580 That is great, because the states have been out of control on this, and I know that they think that this is an effective tool in the war against drugs, but they've been taking people's property, vehicles, and cash without any charge, without any crime, without any criminal activity.

00:31:28.660 And they've taken a lot of innocent people's property from them, who never get it back.

00:31:33.860 And have no recourse.

00:31:35.120 The guy in Utah, I just checked on this story, because I knew we wanted to talk about this.

00:31:38.900 The guy in Utah got $500,000 confiscated.

00:31:42.340 They took $500,000, they pulled him over for a signal light that was out.

00:31:48.240 A taillight was out.

00:31:49.880 And so they pull him over, and they do a search on his car, and they find $500,000 in cash.

00:31:55.440 Now, why was he carrying it?

00:31:56.820 I don't know.

00:31:57.260 It's none of my business.

00:31:58.400 It's not illegal to carry $500,000 in cash.

00:32:01.220 Might be dumb.

00:32:02.080 It's stupid.

00:32:02.880 Yeah.

00:32:03.340 And is it suspicious?

00:32:05.000 I don't know.

00:32:05.500 Maybe.

00:32:05.960 Yeah, but if somebody takes it, you could always call the police.

00:32:08.480 Oh, wait.

00:32:08.760 Oh, wait.

00:32:09.220 It's the police that took it.

00:32:10.720 And so three years later, he still hadn't gotten his money back.

00:32:13.560 He finally took it all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

00:32:15.860 And they said, you've got to give it back.

00:32:17.100 Last I saw, they hadn't.

00:32:19.100 They had not given it back yet.

00:32:21.460 $500,000.

00:32:22.800 The guy was never charged with anything.

00:32:24.680 Is it suspicious that you got $500,000?

00:32:27.360 Yes.

00:32:28.560 But so why?

00:32:30.140 Well, because people don't normally get out of normal behavior.

00:32:35.000 Yes, but so is what the Fed is doing.

00:32:39.540 That's true.

00:32:40.280 And they're changing the rules on the banks where you can't take your money out.

00:32:44.820 It's not your money.

00:32:46.080 It is flipped to where you're the last investor.

00:32:49.440 You're the last person to get your money.

00:32:51.340 If you have money in a bank and the bank goes belly up, you are the last in line.

00:32:56.380 And you're like, wait a minute.

00:32:57.260 I didn't invest in a bank.

00:32:58.880 Yes, you did.

00:32:59.700 Because the banks all changed the rules after 2008.

00:33:04.000 So I don't think it's unreasonable in today's world.

00:33:07.540 It is different.

00:33:08.920 It is risky.

00:33:10.540 But you can't go.

00:33:12.360 I can't have $500,000 in cash someplace and say, excuse me.

00:33:16.700 You actually can.

00:33:16.960 Yes, you can.

00:33:17.520 Yes, you can.

00:33:18.080 There's no law against it.

00:33:19.180 By the way, the case that the Supreme Court ruled on was a guy who actually did sell drugs

00:33:28.260 to undercover cops, but it was only $225 worth of heroin.

00:33:32.560 And so for that, they took away his $42,000 Land Rover.

00:33:36.200 Well, that's excessive.

00:33:37.720 That's an excessive fine.

00:33:38.960 That's an excessive penalty compared to what he did.

00:33:41.740 Because the actual fine was $1,200 for the crime.

00:33:45.100 And then they just took his $42,000 car on top of it.

00:33:47.640 The Supreme Court ruled he's got to get that back because that's an excessive fine.

00:33:50.960 So what about the people who've been charged with no crime?

00:33:54.900 They've got to get their property back.

00:33:56.480 Look at the way this is.

00:33:57.420 I think the way Thomas, the way that Thomas and I think it was Gorsuch were really strong

00:34:02.220 and talked about civil asset forfeiture.

00:34:04.300 And Thomas wrote in there, said, this is out of control and it needs to stop.

00:34:10.000 It does.

00:34:10.420 Listen to the way that, I think it's the New York, or the Wall Street Journal writes this up.

00:34:14.080 Supreme Court ruled unanimously Wednesday that states may not impose excessive fines,

00:34:19.380 extending a bedrock constitutional protection, but also potentially jeopardizing asset forfeiture

00:34:24.340 programs that help fund police operations with property seized from criminal suspects.

00:34:29.520 Like, police help funding?

00:34:32.460 That's not supposed to be the goal of justice, to figure out ways to fund your police department.

00:34:37.080 If someone has not committed a crime, or it's an excessive fine to a crime, that does not

00:34:43.560 give you the right, well, we really need the money, though.

00:34:45.740 That's not a good argument.

00:34:46.860 I will tell you this.

00:34:47.600 I have one of the most police streets, I think, in Texas, don't I?

00:34:50.820 Yes.

00:34:51.560 I mean, for speeding tickets.

00:34:52.940 And it's because a lot of rich people live around there, so they just soak them.

00:34:56.960 You still drive that way?

00:34:58.120 Mm-hmm.

00:34:58.480 Have you seen the new firehouse?

00:34:59.900 Yes.

00:35:00.340 Is that not the greatest firehouse of all time?

00:35:02.400 We comment on it every time we drive past it.

00:35:04.260 It is a palace.

00:35:05.480 It's the Taj Mahal of firehouses.

00:35:07.500 It is.

00:35:08.040 I have to send you a picture of it.

00:35:09.880 It's amazing.

00:35:11.340 It is.

00:35:12.480 It's ridiculous.

00:35:13.380 It's nicer than any home I have seen.

00:35:17.180 It is this.

00:35:17.680 It is all rock work.

00:35:19.460 It is.

00:35:20.380 It's columns.

00:35:21.420 Beautiful.

00:35:22.520 Arches.

00:35:23.240 It is beautiful.

00:35:24.740 It's amazing.

00:35:25.480 And funded mainly by Pat Gray.

00:35:27.140 Right.

00:35:27.660 Yes.

00:35:28.020 I drive by it every day, and I think it's beautiful, and I'm glad we have it, but I keep thinking

00:35:33.580 to myself, well, now I know why my property taxes are so high.

00:35:36.860 Exactly.

00:35:37.340 I mean, do we need to have it like that?

00:35:40.120 Do we really honestly need to have the firehouse look like that?

00:35:42.860 And when the economy goes down and all of these rich people who are really invested in the

00:35:49.140 market, they no longer can pay for it.

00:35:51.580 How are they going to pay for things like that?

00:35:53.520 Oh, I know.

00:35:54.460 Pat will be driving through.

00:35:56.300 And they will just go.

00:35:57.920 They'll have to fund all of this stuff.

00:36:00.200 It is so unreasonable and so wrong to do this.

00:36:04.800 And if we don't stop civil asset forfeiture now in the good times, every American is at

00:36:12.320 risk in the bad times.

00:36:14.440 Thank you, Pat.

00:36:17.480 I don't know a traditional Grand Cherokee goodbye, but...

00:36:22.200 Why don't you if you're really Native American?

00:36:25.420 It's very sacred.

00:36:26.040 It's very sacred.

00:36:27.000 So it's so sacred they don't even tell the people in the tribe about it?

00:36:30.200 Yep.

00:36:30.740 Well, I am the tribe, I think.

00:36:32.300 I am the tribe.

00:36:32.940 I'm going to invite other people in a tribe.

00:36:34.500 Well, you said my people.

00:36:36.440 Yeah, and I just don't know who my people are yet.

00:36:38.320 But I'll find them.

00:36:39.260 I'll find them.

00:36:40.080 They're part of the Grand Cherokee tribe.

00:36:42.320 Just saying.

00:36:43.560 So to get into your tribe, do you need to do a DNA test from 23andMe and come out 1.3%

00:36:48.700 or higher?

00:36:48.780 There might be other ways to get in.

00:36:50.260 Okay.

00:36:50.480 There might be other ways to get in.

00:36:51.400 I don't know yet.

00:36:52.960 You know, that's something that Chief Big Bones needs to counsel on.

00:36:58.480 I might have to have, you know, some sort of a vision quest on that one.

00:37:04.560 So I'll get back to you.

00:37:05.540 So realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:37:08.860 You want to sell your home?

00:37:10.020 You want to sell it on time?

00:37:11.660 You want to sell it for the most amount of money?

00:37:13.320 It's realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:37:15.900 These people are really, truly, they're the best.

00:37:20.100 This company started because I had a hard time selling my home.

00:37:23.680 And I thought there has to be a better way to pick a real estate agent.

00:37:27.220 How do you know?

00:37:28.740 Because usually it's just a friend or you're kind of guilted into it or there's just a family

00:37:32.920 member or something.

00:37:33.640 You're like, okay, I don't.

00:37:34.520 Because you think they're all alike.

00:37:35.640 They're not.

00:37:36.320 To be clear, you do live in a home and not a teepee?

00:37:41.300 Are you sure?

00:37:42.140 No, no, not a teepee.

00:37:44.320 But I am thinking about it.

00:37:47.240 I actually grew up in a home next to a teepee.

00:37:50.480 Really?

00:37:50.700 The people across the street from us lived in a teepee, had a teepee.

00:37:54.540 Really?

00:37:55.120 Yeah.

00:37:55.860 Yeah.

00:37:56.480 I grew up in the Pacific Northwest.

00:37:58.160 It gets weird.

00:37:58.860 On Mischief Night, did you teepee the teepee?

00:38:02.800 I find that offensive.

00:38:05.180 Anyway, I can't believe I lived my whole life.

00:38:08.640 I lived there as a teenager and I never even thought of that.

00:38:12.440 That's wrong.

00:38:14.400 All right.

00:38:14.620 Anyway, selling or buying a home, you need the right person.

00:38:16.920 The person that you trust.

00:38:19.220 Realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:38:20.700 These are the people.

00:38:24.440 Sell your house on time and for the most amount of money.

00:38:27.860 Realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:38:31.000 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:38:32.800 Joiner Lucas has done this video, 112 million views on YouTube.

00:38:44.480 And somebody brought it to my attention just yesterday.

00:38:47.840 And I'm watching it today.

00:38:49.320 And you're not going to agree with everything either side says, but you are going to hear the anger and the argument from the white and the black.

00:39:00.860 And the things that they throw around and the things that they may not say that people want to say that may not be right, but it's how they feel.

00:39:14.040 Does that make sense to you?

00:39:15.760 Yeah.

00:39:16.360 You know, it's the stuff that you're like, okay, I know what you're trying to say here.

00:39:20.380 I think, I mean, unless you are a racist, I think I understand what you're, I can understand where that is coming from.

00:39:26.760 But that's not exactly true.

00:39:28.600 Does that make sense to you?

00:39:29.360 Right.

00:39:29.380 It's like sort of the defensive side.

00:39:31.020 When you're being attacked, you.

00:39:32.660 Correct.

00:39:33.260 But you have problems, too.

00:39:34.640 Right.

00:39:35.100 That's the kind of arguments they seem to be.

00:39:37.180 Correct.

00:39:38.120 And it's this white guy and this black guy.

00:39:41.520 And they're just, it's a rap of just yelling at each other.

00:39:46.320 One makes his point.

00:39:48.400 And then halfway through, the other guy gets up and makes his point.

00:39:51.280 And it is, I think, really, A, really offensive, uses the N word and the F word and everything else.

00:39:59.920 It'll melt snowflakes quickly.

00:40:03.020 And it would be one of those things that one half would listen to it and go, yeah, that first guy, he's right.

00:40:11.080 And then dismiss the other.

00:40:13.140 Or that first guy is dismissal, but this guy at the end, the black guy, he's right.

00:40:18.780 And the point is, basically, we're not even hearing each other anymore.

00:40:21.220 Not even hearing each other.

00:40:22.300 Will we be seeing a rap video of you making the argument against white people from your Native American perspective?

00:40:29.060 Because that seems, that would be powerful.

00:40:30.940 That would be cultural appropriation of the black culture.

00:40:34.660 And me and my people in the Grand Cherokee Nation, we do not.

00:40:37.020 Well, your son could do it.

00:40:37.640 He's 0.3% black.

00:40:39.920 Well, he's 0.3% African.

00:40:42.900 So.

00:40:44.060 Okay.

00:40:44.620 Yes, he's black.

00:40:45.640 Sure.

00:40:45.960 He's African American.

00:40:47.060 We could say that.

00:40:47.740 Yes.

00:40:48.100 We don't know if he's black or not, but he's African American.

00:40:50.500 We know that.

00:40:50.960 Thank you.

00:40:51.260 Thank you.

00:40:52.020 Yes.

00:40:55.960 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

00:41:04.660 We want to tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

00:41:07.520 It's Patriot Mobile.

00:41:08.620 Patriot Mobile is more than just a phone company.

00:41:11.380 It really is.

00:41:14.400 I want you to understand the philosophy of this company.

00:41:17.420 They found out that elections were being lost and things were being swayed because these

00:41:23.660 giant phone companies were actually putting their board members on board members, you know,

00:41:29.120 as board members on other extremist groups like La Raza.

00:41:32.580 La Raza.

00:41:33.080 And they were donating all kinds of money to La Raza and Planned Parenthood.

00:41:38.260 They thought, you know what?

00:41:39.860 Who has got to stop?

00:42:38.120 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:42:39.920 So there's updates on the Jesse Smollett case.

00:42:43.680 And an important part of this, I think, is who really broke this case?

00:42:50.060 Who was brave enough to stand up?

00:42:53.420 There was one journalist in Chicago, and he hasn't been invited on any mainstream media except for Fox News.

00:43:02.520 And I think he's getting heat for that.

00:43:04.120 What are you?

00:43:05.200 Why aren't you going on CNN?

00:43:07.280 Well, because they're not inviting me.

00:43:09.580 I don't know his political background.

00:43:12.200 I don't care about his political background.

00:43:14.340 He could hate my guts.

00:43:16.140 That's fine.

00:43:16.880 I want to compliment him for actually doing the work of a journalist and following a story.

00:43:25.700 And I want to hear what he says may be coming next and what has happened in the last 24 hours.

00:43:31.400 You will meet this very brave journalist in one minute.

00:43:35.860 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:43:41.340 Latest data breach affects emails, passwords from 2.2 billion accounts.

00:43:47.560 What, that leaves a couple billion that we're not...

00:43:50.340 That's crazy!

00:43:51.760 ...billion people that didn't have it hacked.

00:43:53.520 That's a good thing.

00:43:54.340 2.2 billion people.

00:43:56.420 That's half the earth has had their information leaked.

00:44:00.940 But no one in Antarctica.

00:44:02.880 Right.

00:44:03.200 No one.

00:44:03.500 No one.

00:44:04.040 So that you're totally clear if you're from there.

00:44:05.740 All right.

00:44:05.960 So look, nobody can prevent all identity theft.

00:44:08.120 It's going to happen.

00:44:09.180 And the question is, are you going to find out about it before it really breaks up your

00:44:14.640 life and your credit and everything else?

00:44:17.240 It's so important because they not only steal your data, they may only steal one piece of

00:44:23.580 it.

00:44:23.660 Then they go on the dark net and they auction it off.

00:44:27.520 And so there are these people that buy, I want social security numbers.

00:44:31.520 Oh, I want addresses.

00:44:32.940 I want banking accounts.

00:44:33.860 And then they start matching them all together.

00:44:35.740 That's when you're really screwed.

00:44:37.460 Now, nobody can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses,

00:44:41.620 blah, blah, blah.

00:44:42.080 But LifeLock.

00:45:00.720 Rafer Weigel is a journalist, a reporter from Fox 32 in Chicago.

00:45:19.860 He was brave enough to do the work and actually report on the things that, it's my understanding,

00:45:26.200 most journalists felt in Chicago, most police felt in Chicago, but no one was willing to

00:45:32.680 really step up and pursue it because it was such a political hot potato.

00:45:38.500 Rafer, welcome to the program.

00:45:39.900 How are you, sir?

00:45:41.060 Mr. Beck, thank you so much for having me on.

00:45:43.360 And I heard what you said earlier.

00:45:44.680 And I just wanted to tell you that this is a personal coup for me, having me on your show,

00:45:50.920 because my girlfriend's family, they are huge fans of you.

00:45:55.060 And given the fact that I work for the mainstream media, as it were, they've always been kind

00:45:59.260 of looking at me with a side eye.

00:46:00.640 So this is giving me a lot of street cred in the Klan.

00:46:04.420 So thank you.

00:46:05.140 That's great.

00:46:05.860 So, Rafer, please tell me what it was like reporting on this story and what the things

00:46:14.540 were that started really early on.

00:46:17.240 And you couldn't have been the only one who said, something's not right here.

00:46:21.220 No, I mean, all of my colleagues in Chicago, the second we heard it, said, this doesn't

00:46:26.000 sound right.

00:46:27.040 You look at it.

00:46:27.480 At the end of the day, you know, our job as journalists is to be skeptical.

00:46:30.300 And it's the police's job to be skeptical.

00:46:32.740 And, you know, we work with the Chicago police on a daily basis.

00:46:35.540 We know these guys personally.

00:46:37.160 And from the get go, it did not sound right.

00:46:39.940 I mean, for one, you know, the area of the Streeterville with, you know, guys in red hats

00:46:44.920 and rope and bleach and the fact that nobody would have stepped in.

00:46:47.960 There would have been no witnesses.

00:46:49.940 Nobody would have pulled out a cell phone and taken some videos.

00:46:53.040 So very early on, police went on the record with saying this doesn't sound right.

00:46:56.620 And we at Fox 32 were very careful to report that the headline was Jesse Smollett says he

00:47:03.300 was attacked.

00:47:04.140 We didn't know if he was attacked or not.

00:47:05.940 We weren't there.

00:47:06.620 So, you know, for anybody who went with the headline, Jesse Smollett was attacked.

00:47:10.500 I mean, I, you know, I'm no partisan as a journalist.

00:47:13.440 We're supposed to keep it right down the middle.

00:47:15.060 But I mean, I did repeat at Joe Biden, who said, you know, I just said, hey, it might

00:47:19.300 be best to tone down the outrage until we know this actually happened.

00:47:22.420 Because very early on, police said, you know, we've got no evidence that this actually

00:47:26.720 happened.

00:47:27.220 And given that location, I mean, you do have to give credit to the Chicago Police Department

00:47:30.800 and the tech work that they did on it, you know, to now have this guy in custody.

00:47:35.660 But but no, from right from the get go, we were skeptical.

00:47:40.180 OK, so why were you the you know, one of the very few, if not the only one that was really

00:47:46.860 on this story telling the truth?

00:47:49.740 Well, I can't speak for my colleagues.

00:47:51.480 I can tell you that, you know, my managing editor also has a lot of contacts with police.

00:47:55.780 And so do I.

00:47:57.140 And we cross-referenced our sources.

00:47:59.400 You know, she would talk to her guys.

00:48:00.900 I would talk to my guys.

00:48:02.360 And then we would, you know, we would compare notes.

00:48:04.880 And then we'd say, you know, do you feel comfortable going with this?

00:48:07.020 She said, look, they're going, you know, they're they're giving me solid information

00:48:09.980 that they're not buying this.

00:48:11.260 So, you know, I did go with it.

00:48:12.980 It was I don't know.

00:48:15.200 Some would have said it was a risk, but I didn't consider it a risk because I you know,

00:48:19.520 my sources are solid.

00:48:20.820 I mean, they've never burned me before.

00:48:22.340 So, you know, I think there was other skepticism in the media here in Chicago.

00:48:27.900 I I didn't read as much from my colleagues.

00:48:31.340 But early on, you know, they were emphatic with me at TV, my sources that, look, this

00:48:36.720 is we're not buying this.

00:48:38.500 And and, you know, they said I can you know, you can go on the record with me, but just,

00:48:42.800 you know, quote me anonymously.

00:48:44.300 And, you know, we've always heard the debate about anonymous sources.

00:48:46.720 But at the end of the day, anonymous sources are the backbone of journalism.

00:48:50.060 And, you know, there's a lot of criticism from both the right and the left when there's

00:48:53.020 an article coming out quoting anonymous sources.

00:48:55.120 But it works both ways.

00:48:56.480 And in this case, my sources, you know, are reliable.

00:48:59.920 So I felt comfortable sourcing them.

00:49:02.460 I never said Jesse Smollett made it up.

00:49:04.720 I never said he was a liar.

00:49:06.260 I just said, hey, police are are skeptical.

00:49:08.940 And, you know, right now there's no evidence to suggest it actually happened.

00:49:12.980 And that was and that was an accurate statement.

00:49:14.780 It wasn't a partisan statement.

00:49:16.560 It's just at this point, there's no evidence to suggest this.

00:49:19.420 Isn't that what we're supposed to do, not just as journalists, but also as human beings.

00:49:24.520 We're supposed to say innocent until proven guilty.

00:49:28.600 And it's and say he has alleged this.

00:49:32.360 He says he was.

00:49:34.080 If it is true, it's a horrible thing.

00:49:37.120 But let the police do their work.

00:49:39.520 And when charges are filed and we hear all the details, then maybe we'll be able to come to a conclusion.

00:49:46.740 But we are we're not those we're not those people anymore.

00:49:50.160 You're just automatically either innocent or guilty.

00:49:54.540 And the phrase is you have a right to be believed.

00:49:57.080 No, you have a right to be taken seriously.

00:50:01.220 You don't have a right to be believed.

00:50:03.980 Right.

00:50:04.380 And especially, you know, when you're talking about, you know, something very detailed as this.

00:50:09.820 I mean, you know, yeah, I mean, I agree.

00:50:12.000 I mean, it's you know, a lot of people.

00:50:14.180 This has been a very politicized story.

00:50:16.680 And I think initially on because, you know, I look at I'm in the trenches of the foxhole here.

00:50:21.380 You know, I'm just looking at the specifics.

00:50:23.420 You know, I have no partisan motivation in terms of dissecting a story.

00:50:26.360 I would have done this if it was, you know, anybody else.

00:50:28.360 The police were giving me the same information.

00:50:30.400 And I think maybe I personally underestimated the degree of how much this is going to be politicized on both sides.

00:50:36.100 But a lot of people, you know, now they just they they want the narrative.

00:50:40.360 You know, I was attacked by a Black Lives Matter activist for saying I was giving out misinformation.

00:50:45.740 I just politely said, hey, well, what are your sources?

00:50:49.400 What do you know?

00:50:50.220 If you if you if you know what I'm saying is true, I'd like to hear it.

00:50:54.060 You know, so, yeah, a lot of people wanted this story to fill in a specific narrative on both the right and the left, in my opinion.

00:51:00.200 And all I did was stick to the facts.

00:51:03.020 And and I'm I got to say, it's a little bit odd to be.

00:51:06.540 And I'm so grateful to be on your show, Glenn.

00:51:09.040 But and I've been doing Hannity and Laura Ingram.

00:51:11.900 But for just doing my job is all I did.

00:51:14.720 And I don't know if that's a sad state of my profession, that all I did was my job.

00:51:18.740 And, you know, good people like yourself are acknowledging me for that.

00:51:22.480 You know, I mean, to me, this was nothing more than going in and punching a clock and going to work.

00:51:26.420 But, you know, I'm an old school journalist.

00:51:28.100 I grew up in a journalism household.

00:51:29.960 You know, the old ad is, you know, if your mother says she loves you, check it out.

00:51:34.160 I mean, that's just how we're supposed to do our job.

00:51:37.120 Yeah, but we we don't.

00:51:38.660 Are you surprised at how the media has ignored you and this story?

00:51:44.740 I wouldn't say that.

00:51:46.040 I mean, I know that I work for a Fox station.

00:51:48.480 Perhaps that had something to do with why other outlets didn't reach out to me.

00:51:53.480 You know, I'm I'm been reached out to by by conservative outlets and and, you know, mostly on Fox News.

00:51:59.800 They are my parent company.

00:52:00.760 So I think that makes sense.

00:52:02.460 But no, certainly at CNN called or MSNBC called, I would have gone on with them as well.

00:52:07.500 You know, so I think the biggest thing I'm more concerned about is I hope this is a little bit of a wake up call just because, you know, so many people went with the headline that this was true early on without getting more information on the national media.

00:52:20.560 And that surprised me.

00:52:21.940 I'll be honest.

00:52:22.660 I was I'm usually a huge defender of my profession.

00:52:25.840 We're constantly under siege.

00:52:27.260 And, you know, I used to say the media is not liberal.

00:52:30.800 It's just lazy.

00:52:32.060 And, you know, I don't know if this is an example of that or or or political bias, but it was incorrect.

00:52:39.640 So, I mean, I just felt that, you know, other of my colleagues and I'm not trying to get on a soapbox here and act like I'm you know, I feel bad talking this way.

00:52:48.960 But, you know, at the end of the day, you got it.

00:52:51.500 You got to check the facts before you run to the headline.

00:52:53.800 Rayford Weigel of Fox 32 Chicago.

00:52:56.220 Rayford, I think is there a possibility that this combined with several other cases in recent memory where the the initial narrative had changed so quickly and we see something that couldn't possibly be a hoax turn into a hoax potentially here.

00:53:11.300 I think there was a there's been a pattern over the past few years where we've we've used that, you know, journalists always will use the word allegedly or at least are supposed to in a case like this.

00:53:21.380 But it almost becomes like a disclaimer.

00:53:23.480 It's like you throw it in there because, you know, you have to.

00:53:26.360 So, shouldn't we be approaching every story?

00:53:29.700 This is whether a conservative says it, whether a liberal says it, white or black, anything with a real sense of skepticism or at least an inquisitive sense, because if we don't, we can get burned like so many in the media did.

00:53:41.120 And this is journalism 101, what you described.

00:53:44.460 I mean, and that's the journalism that I was taught is you have to be skeptical.

00:53:50.200 So, I mean, yeah, the Covington boys.

00:53:51.800 I mean, that was another example.

00:53:53.680 And, you know, I mean, it's like we don't need any more knocks on my profession for being perceived as being, you know, biased when things like this happen.

00:54:02.240 You know, yeah, you have to show restraint.

00:54:04.120 You just have to stick with the who, what, when, where, why.

00:54:06.480 I don't know if it's because now there's so many different media outlets and with social media and so forth that people are, I don't know, maybe they're fishing for clicks.

00:54:15.220 I'm not sure.

00:54:17.020 But at the end of the day, yes, you're 100 percent right.

00:54:19.460 I hope this is, I mean, my journalism professor, you know, who's probably very liberal, was the one who instilled these values in me, you know, and so did my parents.

00:54:31.460 I'm, you know, I just hope that people are a little more responsible kind of going forward.

00:54:35.640 You know, as far as this stuff goes.

00:54:38.020 So, Rafer, let me let me ask you one quick question.

00:54:40.480 I take a break and then I'd like to get an update on the other side on what the latest is.

00:54:44.100 But is there any truth to the idea that the police knew who these two guys were and they either they were they were waiting for Jesse to to walk into the trap or they were going to just kind of let this go until he went on Good Morning America and said, yes, that's them.

00:55:06.820 And I don't know why everybody's calling me lie liar.

00:55:09.420 But we have heard that Rahm Emanuel was outraged by that.

00:55:13.020 And everybody in Chicago was outraged by that, that really we're just going to kind of be cool about it.

00:55:18.500 And that changed things.

00:55:20.540 We've also heard that they knew who these guys were and they were waiting for him to make a positive I.D.

00:55:27.000 And the minute he did, that's when the case broke or either of those true.

00:55:31.400 Well, it's actually just a coincidence.

00:55:33.300 They didn't know he was going to go on Good Morning America.

00:55:35.560 And apparently that interview cannot be, according to my detectives, that cannot be used as evidence.

00:55:41.180 It's only what he tells them in a police interview.

00:55:44.940 The police rolled this, but it wasn't because they wanted to let Smola hang himself.

00:55:49.500 They did it because they knew who these two guys were, the brothers of Nigerian descent.

00:55:55.000 They are from Chicago, so I want to be clear on that.

00:55:57.320 They left town hours after this incident, and they went to Nigeria for two weeks.

00:56:03.020 So the real motivation behind police, going slowly on this, is they waited for these guys to get back in town.

00:56:08.980 They were at O'Hare Airport waiting for them when they got off the plane.

00:56:13.400 That's why.

00:56:13.940 And it happened to be the same day he was on Good Morning America.

00:56:17.820 Yes.

00:56:18.140 What a coincidence.

00:56:21.220 That's amazing.

00:56:21.980 Wow.

00:56:22.500 Okay.

00:56:23.100 Be back with Rafer Weigel.

00:56:24.820 I want to get the update because he has now been arrested.

00:56:28.120 Has he been arrested?

00:56:29.180 Yeah.

00:56:29.580 Jussie?

00:56:30.240 He has been arrested, and he is in custody.

00:56:32.320 He will be in bond court today at 1.30.

00:56:34.120 Okay.

00:56:34.420 So we'll get an update on that when we come back.

00:56:36.580 Give me one minute and then back to the program.

00:56:39.220 I want to talk to you a little bit about relief factor.

00:56:41.320 If you're in constant pain, you're not alone.

00:56:44.340 The majority of Americans are in pain.

00:56:46.200 About 60% of us, or sorry, about 50 million of us are in pain.

00:56:51.080 60% of Americans have an injury from high school days that they still drag around with

00:56:56.680 them all day.

00:56:57.160 Yeah.

00:56:57.360 A third of people say they no longer participate in their favorite sport or exercise because

00:57:01.780 of the pain.

00:57:02.300 That's crazy.

00:57:03.040 Yeah.

00:57:03.300 That's crazy.

00:57:03.880 I don't do it because I'm lazy.

00:57:05.320 Yeah, I don't do it because I never liked exercise.

00:57:07.120 Oh, okay.

00:57:07.460 And you don't have a favorite sport.

00:57:08.980 Nope.

00:57:09.400 I don't think theater counts as a sport.

00:57:12.140 I don't know why you always go there.

00:57:13.400 Just make it a point.

00:57:14.700 It's your pale face hatred.

00:57:17.100 By the way, if I'm now 1.3% Native American, which I am, does that make you my kind of pale

00:57:26.740 face tanto?

00:57:29.020 Well, pale face, yes.

00:57:30.320 I don't know if...

00:57:31.360 I don't know if you're very pale face.

00:57:32.620 I want to start calling you very pale face.

00:57:34.660 But I don't know if I'm...

00:57:36.060 I may be more Native American than you.

00:57:38.000 I am Chief Big Bones.

00:57:39.860 This is very pale face.

00:57:43.740 My squaw.

00:57:45.560 Anyway...

00:58:05.440 10-second station ID.

00:58:06.560 Fox 32 reporter from Chicago, Rafer Weigel, the guy who really broke this story and refused

00:58:29.160 to give up on it, and the reason why we pretty much know it and was questioning from the beginning

00:58:36.220 tell us what is happening with the Jussie Smollett case now.

00:58:40.700 What's happened in the last 24 hours?

00:58:43.320 Well, it was an interesting day yesterday.

00:58:45.420 So in the morning, Jussie Smollett's lawyers went in to talk with police.

00:58:48.740 They tried to negotiate some kind of an agreement.

00:58:51.160 No agreement was made.

00:58:53.120 And so the grand jury was put in play by the assistant state's attorney.

00:58:58.280 What kind of a deal were they looking for?

00:59:02.140 I have no idea.

00:59:03.200 I have no idea what they could have possibly been trying to maybe bring down, perhaps.

00:59:09.740 It would just be speculation.

00:59:11.300 But once the grand jury was put in play, they brought in the two brothers.

00:59:14.820 They testified for two and a half hours, according to their attorney.

00:59:18.280 And then they got the warrant issued for his arrest.

00:59:21.680 He turned himself in this morning with his attorneys.

00:59:24.700 They spoke with his attorneys last night.

00:59:27.040 They negotiated his surrender.

00:59:28.340 He came in at five o'clock this morning, was processed, fingerprinted, and now is being held by the Cook County Courthouse by the Cook County Sheriff.

00:59:37.260 He's in a separate detention area.

00:59:39.840 As they said, that's common for high-profile detainees.

00:59:43.020 The Chicago police are coming down really hard on this guy.

00:59:45.540 I mean, the superintendent, Eddie Johnson, just says, you know, what the guy did essentially was shameful.

00:59:49.940 The police are describing how, I mean, these two men who allegedly, you know, whatever, these two Nigerian brothers who were in on this or somehow, you know, met with Millett at the time,

01:00:01.440 they were able to track their every move on security cameras to the cab they got into, and they were able to follow the cab to their home.

01:00:09.920 I mean, they combed through every single hour of video and tracked a cab, and this was a good two-mile ride for this cab, and they got it.

01:00:20.840 I mean, that's how they found out where these guys lived.

01:00:22.780 That's how they found out who they were.

01:00:24.780 So, I mean, they have a mountain of evidence against Jesse Smollett.

01:00:29.740 Now, what they don't have is the attack.

01:00:32.280 That's the thing.

01:00:32.940 I mean, that's the irony of it is that, you know, if he did do this and he wanted to get it on camera, they did it in the one place where there was no video surveillance of it.

01:00:41.260 So, at this point, Smollett is not disputing that there was an attack.

01:00:44.500 He, because of the leaks in the Chicago PD, he knows his defense.

01:00:48.040 He knows what he needs to be going against, and it's his word against theirs now.

01:00:50.880 They're saying, you know, that he put them up to this, that he orchestrated this hoax.

01:00:54.980 He's saying, no, these guys just randomly attacked me, and I didn't put them up to anything.

01:00:58.900 So, that's kind of where things are going to go.

01:01:01.900 And Smollett's legal team, you know, they released a statement.

01:01:05.140 They're mounting an aggressive defense.

01:01:06.880 They're going to fight this thing, you know, and go 12 rounds.

01:01:09.940 I think they have to.

01:01:10.980 I mean, the police, you have to put a stop to this, or the police are going to spend all of their time chasing down fake claims.

01:01:18.320 There has to be a heavy penalty paid for this kind of stuff.

01:01:23.720 And too many times, people are just let go, or they pay a fine.

01:01:27.300 This is, I personally, I think this is a hate crime.

01:01:30.560 He obviously hated people so much that he wanted to smear them, whether that was Donald Trump or whatever.

01:01:38.580 But is there any truth to the fact that this was motivated by his career, that he wrote the letter, that original letter, that, you know, was hateful towards him?

01:01:50.580 And I read last night that he was upset that there wasn't more of an outcry just on that letter that he allegedly had sent.

01:01:58.800 Are they looking into that?

01:01:59.860 Absolutely.

01:02:01.140 Now, I mean, I couldn't begin to speculate into Jesse Smollett's motivation if he did orchestrate this whole thing, why he would have done it.

01:02:08.480 You know, obviously, it was an attention-grabbing, you know.

01:02:12.340 If, in fact, he did orchestrate this hoax, it was obviously an attention-grabbing thing.

01:02:16.640 As far as the letter, though, that's key, and a lot of people are losing sight of that.

01:02:20.180 See, the FBI and the U.S. Postal Service, they are investigating that separately.

01:02:25.600 That is federal time.

01:02:27.980 That is potential terrorism charges and mail fraud.

01:02:33.180 And there are no leaks coming out of that investigation.

01:02:36.080 The Chicago police right now, they're doing this.

01:02:38.280 It's a class-4 felony being charged with for filing a police report, and that's also disorderly conduct.

01:02:45.000 That's one of three years in prison, potentially.

01:02:46.900 This letter is where the real trouble could come in for Smollett.

01:02:52.360 Shockingly, the one thing you don't mess with is the post office.

01:02:55.440 Hang on, there is breaking news on this, Stu?

01:02:57.360 Yeah, this is just coming down from the Associated Press and Washington Post, among others,

01:03:00.320 that the police are saying that Jussie Smollett did send himself the racist and homophobic letter

01:03:05.260 because he was dissatisfied with his salary on Empire.

01:03:08.700 Oh, my God.

01:03:09.160 Now, this is just an accusation.

01:03:10.600 As far as I know, he's not admitted this, but this is just coming down in the last couple minutes.

01:03:14.460 Do you have any idea, Rafer, what that would add to a sentence if the post office got involved?

01:03:21.200 Oh, man.

01:03:21.820 I mean, that's, again, that's federal.

01:03:25.200 Yeah.

01:03:25.800 I mean, you'd have to ask a legal expert on that.

01:03:28.460 That's real time.

01:03:29.400 I mean, that's not something you're going to negotiate down.

01:03:32.060 And I think that's, you know, I think that's going to be, you know, we'll see where this one plays out in terms of Chicago police

01:03:37.820 and the false police report, what your colleague just said with the Associated Press is reporting, you know,

01:03:43.060 as my guys at PD have told me.

01:03:44.780 That's a real problem for Jussie Smollett, potentially.

01:03:47.480 Rafer, thank you so much.

01:03:48.760 Great job.

01:03:49.400 Great job.

01:03:50.140 And please keep us informed and up to date on any new developments.

01:03:53.680 Appreciate it.

01:03:54.320 Rafer Weigel from Fox 32 in Chicago.

01:03:58.780 Back in a minute.

01:03:59.440 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:04:12.340 I want to talk to you a little bit about filter by.

01:04:14.500 Now, you're supposed to change your filter every month or two?

01:04:18.240 I didn't know that.

01:04:19.500 Is that true?

01:04:20.120 That's what they say if you live in a high pollen area or you have pets, which, you know, a lot of people do.

01:04:26.780 Wow.

01:04:27.140 That seems, wow.

01:04:29.840 That's, I'm not, I mean, I feel like every other decade is okay.

01:04:35.080 Basically where I've been my whole life.

01:04:36.280 Well, I've been when you buy a new house.

01:04:38.880 Well, you don't change them when you, you're actually changing them when you get into the new house?

01:04:42.840 No, that's something that the, that's something that, you know, you have the inspector check.

01:04:46.300 Right.

01:04:46.560 The clean filters.

01:04:47.500 No, so we need the filters changed.

01:04:49.140 The people who are selling you the house have to change them, though.

01:04:50.900 Yes.

01:04:51.220 Yeah, it's part of the deal.

01:04:52.340 And then you, you don't change them until somebody, you move out and they're smart enough to say,

01:04:57.100 have you changed the filters?

01:04:57.800 Listen, that's not the way to live your life.

01:04:59.720 No.

01:06:33.260 He is from Venezuela, and he has seen socialism up close, and he has a warning for America.

01:06:40.420 That's in about half an hour.

01:06:42.160 In about 10 minutes from now, nine minutes from now, we talk to Ben Sasse.

01:06:46.640 Ben Sasse is putting the, not even partial birth, the afterbirth abortion on the table

01:06:54.880 for the Senate, and they're going to go for a vote on that.

01:06:57.840 I believe it's on Monday.

01:06:58.900 We want to talk to him about that and how we can possibly help him.

01:07:03.920 That's all coming up yet on the Glenn Beck program.

01:07:06.600 We also have some new details on the Jussie Smollett story.

01:07:11.700 So he, the police believe basically he did fake this attack, as you kind of probably know

01:07:16.840 by now.

01:07:17.620 I also believe he faked this letter.

01:07:19.660 He received a letter that was homophobic and racist about a week before these events

01:07:26.080 started, and they believe that Jussie sent this letter to himself, and apparently they

01:07:32.760 believe the reasoning for this is that, at least partially, he believed his salary was

01:07:37.040 too low on Empire.

01:07:38.080 Um, maybe he believed he was not getting the attention he deserved and believed this would

01:07:42.960 raise his profile.

01:07:44.040 I mean, I, I'm, you know, reading into it a little bit there.

01:07:46.440 Also, they were saying that he spent about $3,500 on the attack.

01:07:51.040 So he spent, he gave them $3,500 for them to actually execute this false attack against

01:07:56.340 him.

01:07:57.240 Um, no word yet of a Subway sponsorship because that's where he was going for a tuna sandwich

01:08:01.340 and he held onto the tuna sandwich throughout.

01:08:03.660 I also don't know if, I mean, there's a story from CNN about Burberry.

01:08:08.580 They've, uh, apologized for, uh, a new fashion line and they have a noose around the neck.

01:08:13.280 Is it possible?

01:08:13.920 There's a misunderstanding.

01:08:14.560 He was wearing this fashion piece.

01:08:16.640 He's just wearing the hoodie with the noose around the neck.

01:08:18.540 I don't, I don't think so.

01:08:19.860 Well, we're going to find out about that as well.

01:08:22.020 It's incredible.

01:08:22.980 What, what is worse?

01:08:24.060 A guy who has done it for his political views and he's a social justice guy or the fact

01:08:29.440 he did it for his career.

01:08:30.960 I don't know which one's worse.

01:08:32.700 They're both pretty bad.

01:08:34.160 Like psychopathic bad.

01:08:35.420 Yeah.

01:08:35.920 I mean, the question is whether you're being selfish or do you want to paint an entire

01:08:40.360 race of people as horrible, which is essentially what he's trying to do in a social justice

01:08:44.780 world to say, you know, half the country that voted for Trump are a bunch of racists.

01:08:49.160 To me, that does feel worse than saying I want more money.

01:08:51.920 They're both pretty bad though.

01:08:53.500 They're both pretty bad.

01:08:54.180 It's amazing because that's how, that's how Chicago got Al Capone, uh, is through income

01:08:58.820 tax and, uh, looks like the real penalty may come through the U S mail service.

01:09:04.680 I mean, maybe that's the only reason why we still have, you know, postman and the mail

01:09:09.060 service so we could get, you know, get the bad guys and actually put them behind bars for

01:09:13.200 a long extended period of time.

01:09:14.400 Yeah.

01:09:15.040 But mail fraud is not a joke.

01:09:16.760 And we should be clear, even if he is doing this largely because he wants his salary to

01:09:22.140 be higher, he also is a social justice warrior and was promoting all of that stuff as well.

01:09:27.240 Cause surely there was, they were, it was at least part of it.

01:09:29.500 We know that.

01:09:29.980 Could we talk tomorrow about how crazy that cast is?

01:09:33.680 Oh, I would love to get this.

01:09:35.320 You're talking about my favorite topic.

01:09:36.900 The head guy at, uh, what's his name?

01:09:39.360 Um, he doesn't seem nuts.

01:09:41.160 The guy who's the head, uh, you know, the, the, the father on empire and I've never watched

01:09:45.640 the show.

01:09:46.360 Uh, but, uh, you've seen him before.

01:09:48.840 He, he was in, um, he was in a Robo cop.

01:09:53.160 Isn't that a new Robo cop?

01:09:54.740 No, the Robo cop wasn't.

01:09:56.100 Isn't he the guy?

01:09:57.100 No, no, no.

01:09:57.680 That's what I mean.

01:09:58.440 That's what I meant.

01:09:59.140 Uh, Iron man.

01:10:00.360 Um, yeah, he was sorry.

01:10:02.300 What year is it?

01:10:03.220 I don't know.

01:10:04.000 Uh, so he, he was in Iron man.

01:10:06.200 He's the, the black air force guy, right?

01:10:09.020 Yeah.

01:10:09.520 Uh, yeah.

01:10:10.040 Yeah.

01:10:10.700 Uh, and he seems like he's normal.

01:10:13.160 Is he?

01:10:14.360 I'm getting busy.

01:10:15.320 Yeah.

01:10:15.520 Cause I know I, I know.

01:10:17.100 Isn't Don Cheadle in those movies too?

01:10:18.580 John Cheadle is in it too.

01:10:19.520 He's in, I think he is in Iron man.

01:10:21.140 I just don't, I don't know if he's that.

01:10:22.660 I don't know.

01:10:23.240 Forget it.

01:10:23.820 John, Don Cheadle replaced him.

01:10:25.960 Oh, that's what it was.

01:10:26.880 Yeah.

01:10:27.220 Don Cheadle replaced him.

01:10:28.320 Well, the, the reason why you bring this up is because Terrence Howard is insane.

01:10:33.700 Insane.

01:10:34.140 And I don't mean insane.

01:10:35.000 Like he's a party animal.

01:10:36.160 He's like, he has developed his own, his own math.

01:10:41.660 The big, but I would love to do an interview with him because he is, he's functioning,

01:10:46.680 but completely nuts, but completely literally.

01:10:49.720 We'll tell you about it tomorrow.

01:10:50.960 It's really interesting.

01:10:52.320 Completely nuts.

01:10:53.760 Another, uh, interesting, uh, update here, Glenn, because this is, this has a little bit

01:10:57.760 to do with math too.

01:10:58.520 And this audience always comes through on this stuff, which is awesome.

01:11:01.060 Um, we talked about, uh, Josh Pinkert, who was one of the people shot in the mass shooting

01:11:05.780 in Aurora, uh, the other day and his, uh, family's reaction to it, his wife in particular

01:11:11.680 posting on Facebook, really celebrating his life and saying, uh, we know where he's going.

01:11:16.600 We know where he's going.

01:11:17.520 Thank you, Lord, for giving me this man, this mountain of a man.

01:11:22.160 Oh my gosh.

01:11:22.540 It was beautiful.

01:11:23.280 Yeah, it was, it was a really, you know, tough reaction because if you're going through

01:11:27.380 this, it's, it's impossible.

01:11:28.480 And she stayed true to her faith and has really held up as a great example, not only for her

01:11:33.180 family, but for other people of faith.

01:11:35.460 Uh, they had a GoFundMe going, which was about $25,000 when we talked about it yesterday,

01:11:39.940 they had a goal of $30,000.

01:11:42.480 Well, after we talked about it and the audience heard it, uh, as usual, they go into action and

01:11:48.020 help this family.

01:11:48.840 And now they are up to $62,000, uh, which is more than double their goal by now, which

01:11:56.880 is really great.

01:11:58.000 And you know, it's a great family and the way they handled this was so great.

01:12:00.820 So thank you for doing that.

01:12:02.480 Yeah.

01:12:02.600 And if you, if you want to help out, you can still go to the GoFundMe page and help this

01:12:06.940 family out.

01:12:07.440 I just think it's, I think it's great.

01:12:09.300 You can just change somebody's life that fast, you know, in $5 increments.

01:12:14.340 I love it.

01:12:15.700 What's the GoFundMe page again?

01:12:17.220 Uh, GoFundMe.com, uh, slash Josh-Pinkard-Memorial.

01:12:21.860 We'll also tweet it out from at World of Stew and at Glenn Beck.

01:12:24.940 Okay.

01:12:25.460 Uh, let me talk to you here about our sponsor this half hour.

01:12:28.420 It is CarShield.

01:12:31.040 CarShield is, you know, I was thinking of this.

01:12:32.980 My father, um, my father never had a new car.

01:12:37.360 I bought him his first new car.

01:12:39.700 My first big paycheck, that's what I did.

01:12:42.720 I went out and I bought him a new car.

01:12:44.360 He had never owned one in his whole life.

01:12:47.220 And now I'm realizing what a stupid thing to buy new cars.

01:12:53.020 Because you drive it off the lot and it just drops in value immediately.

01:12:56.640 Let somebody else drop it off and, you know, drive it off the lot.

01:12:59.540 And now, how we're so interconnected, you can find things with, you know, 5,000 miles on it.

01:13:04.940 It's like a brand new car.

01:13:05.960 Yeah.

01:13:06.120 You can find anything you want with any combination of features.

01:13:08.620 It's really, yeah.

01:13:09.440 So the problem becomes the warranties.

01:13:12.060 If you have a car that is 5,000, 150,000 miles out and it's out of warranty, you need protection.

01:13:18.440 That's where CarShield comes in.

01:13:20.140 Call CarShield.com at 1-800-CAR-6100.

01:14:00.500 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:14:07.260 This weekend is the first day of mourning and I think we should have more of these.

01:14:17.680 I want you to go to dayofmourning.org.

01:14:19.840 Mourning spelled with a U.

01:14:21.840 Mourning and asking for forgiveness for all of the deaths that have been caused through abortion

01:14:27.780 and all of us who have sat by idly and not said anything, in my case, because, to my shame,

01:14:34.900 I'm carrying enough water, I can't carry that one too.

01:14:39.660 I wish I would have never said those things because things on life revolving around life

01:14:44.920 are getting worse and worse, and it seems daily.

01:14:49.000 We have Senator Ben Sasse with us, representing the great state of Nebraska.

01:14:53.300 He has, the Democrats blocked him when he said, I want just an up or down vote on whether we kill

01:15:01.500 children after they have been born, one of the senators blocked that from happening,

01:15:06.460 so he got together and put together the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act.

01:15:12.200 It comes up for a vote on Monday.

01:15:14.560 Welcome to the program, Ben Sasse.

01:15:16.960 Glenn, good to be with you.

01:15:18.300 Thanks for the invite.

01:15:19.140 You bet.

01:15:19.600 So tell me what this prevents and what you think is going to happen.

01:15:25.560 Well, so first of all, I'm as pro-life as anybody comes in the U.S. Senate.

01:15:31.700 I'm an original co-sponsor of all the pro-life legislation, but this really isn't about that.

01:15:36.760 This is about babies that survive an abortion.

01:15:40.040 This is really a vote Monday night about infanticide.

01:15:43.960 So I've been the lead sponsor for three years of the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act.

01:15:49.700 There is this phenomenon where when babies survive an abortion, doctors don't proactively kill them,

01:15:57.360 but they passively back away from the table and allow the babies to die of exposure.

01:16:03.120 I mean, it is clear infanticide.

01:16:05.300 Now, I read your point.

01:16:06.380 I'm sorry.

01:16:07.140 I remember a story a few years ago in Chicago where they were putting babies in the closet.

01:16:12.780 Yeah.

01:16:12.960 Yeah, some of these places have a room for this where they just move the baby to die as she's on a cold table struggling for life.

01:16:22.360 I mean, if equality and an American belief in universal human dignity mean anything,

01:16:29.280 they surely mean that a baby that's fighting for life has rights and dignity and is an image bearer,

01:16:35.600 and we have a moral obligation to provide some care.

01:16:37.680 So that's really all this is about is once a baby has already survived a botched abortion,

01:16:43.140 do you have to provide care for it, the same level of care you provide for any other baby at that stage,

01:16:47.660 or can you kill it by exposure?

01:16:49.840 And bizarrely, there are states that are actively having this as a debate right now.

01:16:54.540 So you say you've sponsored this for three years.

01:16:57.740 Has it been rejected or has it never gotten a vote?

01:17:00.940 It hadn't gotten a vote before.

01:17:02.720 And then after what has happened in New York and Virginia over the last month,

01:17:07.580 I pushed to get it more floor time.

01:17:09.760 I've been pushing in the past to get a recorded vote.

01:17:11.900 But as you know, the vast majority of whatever gets accomplished in the U.S. Senate gets accomplished 100 to 0 by unanimous consent.

01:17:19.300 Senators work out their disagreements for weeks or months or years in private.

01:17:23.480 And then you bring something to the floor and you say, you know, Mr. President, Madam President,

01:17:27.200 I believe we have unanimous consent.

01:17:29.000 Everybody agrees we should pass this.

01:17:30.380 Condemning infanticide should be done that way.

01:17:33.400 It shouldn't need a recorded vote, but we need one now because a Democrat from Washington State has decided to block us from a unanimous consent passage.

01:17:42.060 But this is sort of triggered in the public mind by what happened in New York and Virginia over the last month,

01:17:47.360 where in New York, Governor Cuomo lit up the World Trade Center site in pink to celebrate pro-abortion legislation

01:17:55.640 that repealed protections for an infant that had been born alive during an abortion.

01:18:00.220 So at the moment of birth, they were stripping away protections.

01:18:03.600 And New York decides to celebrate it by lighting up the World Trade Center area in pink,

01:18:09.060 which has historically been the color to celebrate the persistence and grit of women who beat breast cancer.

01:18:14.820 I mean, literally, the color was a symbolic color celebrating life.

01:18:18.560 And now they decided to reverse it and use it to celebrate death.

01:18:22.340 It's really perverse.

01:18:23.940 And then in Virginia, the disgraced governor there in Northam obviously has massive problems with human dignity across a whole bunch of dimensions.

01:18:32.420 He's been on the radio defending infanticide.

01:18:36.100 And so it became an opportunity to try to focus the public mind a little bit.

01:18:39.480 And happily, we've been able to get through all the procedural hurdles that we get a floor vote next Monday night.

01:18:44.100 So what do you think is going to happen?

01:18:47.480 I think that the abortion zealotry industry has decided to try to intimidate a bunch of Democratic senators.

01:18:56.280 And I honestly don't know what the vote's going to be.

01:18:58.580 I know we're going to have a bunch of people opposing it now.

01:19:01.060 A number of quasi-public health organizations, many of them really just abortion advocacy groups,

01:19:08.720 have put out a letter condemning this Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act as getting in the way of private health care decisions.

01:19:19.580 We're talking about babies that have actually been born alive and are on a table fighting for life,

01:19:25.040 trying to cry and breathe and want food and warmth.

01:19:27.780 And they're saying that's a private decision, which is truly bizarre.

01:19:32.640 So I can't tell you what the vote's going to be.

01:19:35.120 But the decision you made was to kill it.

01:19:38.640 Okay, now it's no longer in your body.

01:19:41.680 If you don't want that baby because you said kill it,

01:19:44.540 that is an individual now that should be mandated to go to an adoption agency.

01:19:51.460 I mean, you have to preserve that life.

01:19:54.500 It's no longer connected to mom.

01:19:56.160 So mom has no right to that baby if she said she wanted it killed.

01:20:01.340 I mean, does she?

01:20:03.320 We're talking about something pretty basic here.

01:20:05.400 I mean, everybody, it shouldn't be politics.

01:20:07.360 It shouldn't be right versus left.

01:20:08.760 We're talking about do you have a heart?

01:20:10.220 And I mean, I think it's important to have some historical memory on this.

01:20:14.220 Infanticide has been a practice through lots of human history.

01:20:17.060 It's gross and repugnant, and we should be well better than that.

01:20:22.040 But the ancient Aztecs, the ancient Greeks, they would kill kids that were regarded as undesirable by exposure.

01:20:28.920 You'd take a 12-month-old baby and decide, we don't want this one anymore.

01:20:32.940 She's got X problem or Y problem.

01:20:35.140 Let's go leave them on the mountainside in the cold to die.

01:20:38.620 That is really the practice we're talking about here.

01:20:42.200 I'm sorry to interrupt.

01:20:43.500 It's one of the main things that happened with the Romans and the Christians.

01:20:46.980 The Christians looked so bizarre because Romans would have babies, and they'd throw them on a garbage barge, and they would just die from exposure.

01:20:54.560 And the Christians felt that was wrong, and they would go get those children out of the garbage barges and take them and care for them.

01:21:02.900 Yeah.

01:21:03.580 We have a culture that claims to believe in universal human dignity.

01:21:09.360 We believe kids are image bearers.

01:21:11.200 We believe they have worth and value.

01:21:14.080 And, you know, the Senate is a weird place.

01:21:16.600 I'm one of eight people out of the hundred there who's never been a politician before.

01:21:20.020 There isn't a piece of legislation that will be introduced where somebody won't claim you have to be for it because you're fighting for the poorest and the most vulnerable among us.

01:21:28.840 And it feels like half of the Senate Democratic Caucus is running for president right now.

01:21:32.840 And they're constantly out there telling people they fight for the little guy.

01:21:36.100 Well, here's a chance to actually prove it.

01:21:38.340 Fight for the little guy and the little gal.

01:21:40.200 I mean, we are literally talking about the poorest and weakest and most vulnerable among us.

01:21:44.300 When these babies are fighting for life on a cold table, you don't back away.

01:21:48.900 You provide care and comfort.

01:21:51.560 Senator, we have about one minute.

01:21:52.540 Is there any way that Democrats could say, well, this does more than just save babies that have been born?

01:21:58.560 There's a slippery slope here and we see what they're trying to do.

01:22:01.180 Is there any legitimate complaint that they can have over this bill?

01:22:04.600 Or is it clear?

01:22:05.320 No.

01:22:06.000 No, it's clear.

01:22:06.800 There's no legitimate complaint.

01:22:08.720 But the distinction they're trying to draw is that you don't need a bill to prohibit infanticide because we already have laws to prohibit murder.

01:22:15.500 And so the distinction they're trying to weasel around is saying nobody is taking a baby that survives an abortion and taking a pillow and putting it over her face and actively suffocating her to death.

01:22:26.580 We're just backing away from the table and allowing the baby to die on her own.

01:22:31.080 Under this logic, you can kill 12-month-olds the same way.

01:22:33.780 And you can also kill people like Terri Schiavo the same way.

01:22:36.600 We're not killing her.

01:22:37.800 We're just not giving her any food.

01:22:39.600 We're just letting her die.

01:22:41.640 I mean, it always happens on both ends of the spectrum.

01:22:44.280 And we're seeing the result of this evil, evil practice and doctors that are not living their oath.

01:22:54.000 Senator Ben Sasse, thank you so much.

01:22:56.140 We'll be watching on Monday.

01:22:57.780 We wish you the best of luck.

01:23:00.240 And thanks for being on the program.

01:23:01.480 Senator Ben Sasse from Nebraska.

01:23:03.780 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:24:20.820 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:24:40.360 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:24:42.160 So the socialism that we hear being preached now from the Democrats, is it really Sweden, the Swedes say no, or is it the beginning of Venezuela?

01:24:54.240 We have a guy, he is a junior in college here in America.

01:24:59.020 He came to America in 2016 from Venezuela.

01:25:03.660 Now his country is in dire, dire trouble.

01:25:07.940 He is going to talk to us about socialism, Venezuela, and where America is headed.

01:25:14.820 We do that in 60 seconds.

01:25:19.620 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:25:22.400 You know, I love to paint.

01:25:24.700 It allows me to relax and slow down and escape from another place, at least for a while, away from the chaos of life.

01:25:31.720 And without relief factor, I mean, I have a real problem with my hands to where they don't work sometimes.

01:25:40.720 And they are in, they cause me, they just, they're troublesome.

01:25:45.900 It's like having meat mitts.

01:25:48.020 And the pain that is, that goes along with some of this is just outrageous.

01:25:53.520 I'm sure you have more pain than I do.

01:25:56.640 We all have something.

01:25:58.040 We all have something.

01:25:59.820 Uh, how do we get around it?

01:26:02.360 How do we live?

01:26:03.560 How do we function?

01:26:05.080 How do we do the things that we wanted to do?

01:26:08.200 Well, for the last five years, I've been struggling on and off, trying to find something.

01:26:13.260 Relief factor has given me the most consistent pain relief of anything that I have tried.

01:26:18.520 It is something that is all 100% natural, drug-free, and it, uh, you take it three times a day.

01:26:24.520 And what it does is it reduces inflammation in your body, which is the biggest source of our problems in our body.

01:26:31.060 And I mean, for cancer and, but, but, you know, mainly for pain as well.

01:26:35.060 Causes all kinds of things to happen.

01:26:37.760 Reduce the inflammation by taking relief factor.

01:26:40.340 Take it three times a day.

01:26:41.480 Look, they know that it works at about 70% of the people who try it.

01:26:44.820 So, are you part of the 70% or the 30%?

01:26:47.820 They are straight up with you on the get-go.

01:26:50.360 If you don't see any results in the, in the first three weeks, it's probably not going to work for you.

01:26:54.600 Um, so, try it for three weeks.

01:26:56.800 Take it as directed.

01:26:58.580 If it works for you, like it does, 70% of the people that order it, order again, month after month after month.

01:27:05.200 Because for, like me, it works.

01:27:07.660 It is Relief Factor.

01:27:09.660 Please try it.

01:27:10.600 800-583-84.

01:27:12.560 Do the things you want to do again.

01:27:14.840 800-583-84.

01:27:17.920 Relieffactor.com.

01:27:27.200 A contributor to Young Voices and, uh, a Venezuela expatriate.

01:27:31.980 His name is Daniel DiMartino.

01:27:34.340 He was born and raised in Venezuela, where he went to high school, and saw the, the wonderful experiences and consequences of socialism.

01:27:43.860 In 2016, he left Venezuela to go to college at Indiana University, Purdue, in Indianapolis.

01:27:50.700 He is a junior majoring in quantitative economics.

01:27:54.980 He writes and talks about economics and politics, specifically the importance of freedom, taxes, regulations, and internal affairs.

01:28:02.940 Welcome to the program, uh, Daniel DiMartino.

01:28:07.160 Hi, Glenn.

01:28:07.960 Thank you for having me.

01:28:08.920 You bet.

01:28:09.360 First of all, how is your family?

01:28:10.720 You still have family back in Venezuela?

01:28:13.060 I do have a lot of extended family and friends.

01:28:15.620 My, uh, my parents and my grandparents, they thankfully left at the end of 2017, and now they live in Spain.

01:28:21.100 What is life like now in Venezuela?

01:28:26.440 It is, it is very, very terrible.

01:28:28.860 Um, you can, you can hear it.

01:28:30.920 You can look at it on videos, and I can tell it to you from firsthand experience that I suffered constant blackouts.

01:28:38.740 I had to make lines for hours for food.

01:28:41.440 I had to, well, don't even think about getting sick.

01:28:44.260 Thankfully, I was young and healthy, but many of my friends who got sick, then, uh, they got terrible treatment in the hospitals because there was just no medicine to treat them with.

01:28:53.300 Now, people will say that this is just Maduro because he's not doing socialism right, uh, that things were different under Chavez.

01:29:01.780 He did it right.

01:29:03.120 True or false?

01:29:03.920 Well, completely false.

01:29:06.040 Uh, I suffer from blackouts and water shortages and, uh, food shortages from way before Maduro, uh, definitely with Chavez.

01:29:13.420 And it is Chavez who implemented the policies that took us here, of course, and that have accumulated in their mistakes.

01:29:21.020 Chavez was the one who took away the electricity, uh, water, uh, oil industries from the private hands and nationalized them.

01:29:29.400 He's the one who hired masses and masses of government employees just to get their votes.

01:29:34.680 And he's also the person who, with all this government control, started using it to, uh, bribe people, to steal money.

01:29:44.080 It was just terrible.

01:29:45.520 So as you hear our politicians, uh, here talk about socialism, they always try to tell us that we want Sweden.

01:29:54.000 But Sweden is not a socialist country.

01:29:56.240 It's a capitalist country with a giant welfare net.

01:29:59.500 Um, tell me the difference and tell me what you feel when you watch the Democratic Party and half of America start to embrace socialism.

01:30:10.480 Is what they're saying different than what you heard politicians in Venezuela say?

01:30:15.400 It is not different at all, Glenn.

01:30:18.240 And let me tell you what is a very, very key difference between what would be Sweden's and their, uh, proposals of the Democrat Socialists here.

01:30:26.860 They want to expand the welfare state in America, yes.

01:30:29.920 But they want to expand it even beyond what Sweden has.

01:30:32.660 They want to increase taxes even beyond what Sweden has.

01:30:35.500 And even worse, they, they're not even going to be able to raise enough tax revenue for all their proposals.

01:30:41.180 Sweden is a very physically responsible country, uh, Glenn.

01:30:44.400 Like their, their debt is under control.

01:30:46.800 They don't have a large budget deficit like the United States.

01:30:49.660 So if the Democrats really don't want to turn the United States into Venezuela by having to print money and create hyperinflation, then they will have to tell Americans the truth.

01:30:59.920 They want to tax poor people at 50, 60, and 70% rates, not just the rich.

01:31:06.120 You, you, you, you are going to college now.

01:31:10.980 You're a junior in college.

01:31:12.360 I imagine that, uh, you meet a lot of young socialists.

01:31:17.900 Um, that is the, that's the rage right now.

01:31:21.180 Can you tell us what the attraction is to people your age, to socialism?

01:31:27.320 And when you talk to them, what is the aha moment?

01:31:30.800 What is the thing that you say or start to discuss where they listen and go, oh, wait a minute?

01:31:36.820 Yeah, they, they do understand what's, uh, going on in Venezuela.

01:31:42.960 Once they hear from somebody who's actually from, from Venezuela, in my experience, I think that they believe that, um, you know, the Chavez, like you were saying, was a good person.

01:31:52.640 And Maduro was not, but when you actually explain them what's going on, they do change their minds.

01:31:57.180 Most of them, some of them are just, I would say lost.

01:32:00.620 Um, but most of them do change their minds and they're not radicals.

01:32:04.240 And I don't think most Americans are radicals, but that's why we need to, to spread the word this way.

01:32:09.180 And, you know, that's why I think that Venezuelans and victims of communism around the world are playing a very key role in the United States to fight against these lives of the Democrats.

01:32:20.620 If we, if we didn't have people who experienced socialism, how would we be able to, to fight it here?

01:32:25.060 You know, but are you making a difference in your age group?

01:32:29.660 I mean, what are the things that you say that, and if there are any, teach us how to speak to a millennial about socialism?

01:32:40.140 I tell them, uh, about the facts in, in Venezuela.

01:32:44.860 They, that socialism doesn't lead us to equality, which is what they want.

01:32:48.440 And you have to speak to people relating to their goals.

01:32:52.360 You're, it's going to be basically impossible to change somebody's values or inherent goals for their society or for their perfect ideal society.

01:33:00.880 Well, the reality is that socialist societies are not equal at all.

01:33:04.080 They're even more unequal than capitalist society.

01:33:06.240 Right. So, but Daniel, you have to understand, at least in my opinion, that capitalism has never been about equality.

01:33:15.200 It's not. It's about, uh, the free market. It's about each individual.

01:33:20.020 So, it's, it does create an unequal society.

01:33:24.560 However, socialism, as you just pointed out, also creates, but they always say, well, that's because it wasn't done right.

01:33:31.980 But it also always creates, um, uh, an unequal, uh, standard of living.

01:33:38.280 Even if it was run honestly, it would, it, the equality would be misery.

01:33:45.900 That it is true. It is true. That's capitalism's goal is not equality.

01:33:50.040 And I'm not saying that that's my goal either, but I'm saying that it's, it's very hard to, to persuade somebody, uh, one conversation and tell them that, you know, they need to change completely.

01:34:01.100 I think it's basically impossible. So, what I do think is that you can persuade millennials, and that's what I've done, uh, by telling them the truth.

01:34:10.920 Nobody will ever implement your ideas perfectly, just like there are still subsidies, just like there's still government intervention in free market societies like the U.S. or Hong Kong and any other country.

01:34:22.920 So, if we want to live in a near, uh, livable world, then we need to live with a country, in a country of freedom, and that still allows for inequality.

01:34:32.740 What is, uh, what does this mean to you and to your family when you see America teetering this close?

01:34:43.900 We have never, ever been this close to losing the free market from the inside.

01:34:50.920 Yes. It is, it is scary. It is scary, Glenn. Um, I came to the United States specifically because of my university that sponsored me, of course, but I, I could have gone to, you know, to Spain with my parents, but I, I didn't because I think that the United States is a country where I thought, and I still think, though, that it is less likely for socialism to be implemented in the U.S. and in any other country in the world.

01:35:15.800 And it's like Ronald Reagan said at the, the shining city on a hill. And if the, the only way to keep it that way is for us to fight, uh, against these murderers ideology, not just here in the United States, but everywhere around the world, because Venezuela is exporting this ideology by funding, uh, socialist movements abroad in Europe specifically.

01:35:36.800 You have several Dallas Cowboy stadiums, full of people listening to you right now.

01:35:44.700 What should Americans know that you think maybe we don't know or understand?

01:35:49.420 That the only, no country is safe from, from false promises and lure for false promises and that not every measure that the left will propose will take us to Venezuela, but little by little taking away our, our freedoms, they are going to eventually lead us into a terrible society, a society that is stagnated like in Europe, or even worse, a society that is in decline, like in Venezuela.

01:36:19.420 Venezuela. So we need to do everything we can to vote, to protect, to speak out in favor of freedom. That means lower taxes. That means responsible government. That means freedom to, uh, immigrate freedom, to trade all these freedoms that are necessary for a country to stay free.

01:36:38.420 When you hear people talk about oppression and, oh, my life has been so tough. Is that hard for you to sit through and listen to?

01:36:49.360 It's, it's, it's, it's a little laughable to be honest. Uh, I, I understand that some people, like everyone goes through very difficult things, but, but I've, I've had people, I've had even college professors tell me that what's going on in Venezuela. Uh, it's not worse than what, uh, the low income individuals in the United States go through.

01:37:10.040 And it's real laughable because the United States, yes, it has poverty, but poor people in the United States even have internet, electricity, water. That's not what happens in Venezuela, right? Right. People are starving in Venezuela.

01:37:23.400 How can, how can, how can, how can we help the people of Venezuela? What's the best thing we can do?

01:37:30.220 The best thing that the United States can do is in part what it's currently doing. President Trump is taking the right actions by leading the world in pressuring Maduro to get out.

01:37:40.740 And what's the, what's the best thing that we can do as individuals?

01:37:45.100 As individuals, we need to, uh, advocate first for that not to be implemented in the United States,

01:37:51.620 but also we need to advocate for, so that, and support president Trump's actions.

01:37:56.320 There are Congress people in the United States, such as Ilhan Omar, Tulsi Gabbard, who are spreading lies about Venezuela, Glenn.

01:38:04.160 They're saying that we, the opposition are some kind of far right armed group.

01:38:09.180 Like, like if we were terrorists, when in reality, we have a regime that is killing us and starving us purposefully, a genocide.

01:38:16.540 So what we need to do is support the change of, uh, regime in Venezuela with our democratic president, who is Juan Guaido,

01:38:25.340 and push the countries in the region to take even more forceful action so that Maduro can get out.

01:38:32.240 Daniel DiMartino, thank you so much.

01:38:34.480 Um, I'm glad you're here in America.

01:38:36.620 I'm glad your family is safe.

01:38:38.600 We pray, uh, for your, uh, for your country of Venezuela.

01:38:42.360 Thank you.

01:38:43.020 And I hope to talk to you again, Daniel DiMartino.

01:38:45.800 He is a contributor from young voices and a Venezuelan, uh, expatriate.

01:38:50.120 You can follow him on Twitter at Daniel DiMartino.

01:38:53.940 You can also find him at young hashtag, or I mean, uh, young, uh, dash voices.com.

01:39:01.840 That's young dash voices.com.

01:39:04.440 You know what I'm not having for lunch today?

01:39:10.380 It's going to come as a surprise to you, Stu.

01:39:13.120 Um, what?

01:39:14.360 What could I do?

01:39:14.680 Not going to have a salad.

01:39:16.020 Really?

01:39:16.540 Yeah, not going to have a salad.

01:39:17.800 You know what I'm not going to have for lunch tomorrow?

01:39:19.720 Probably also a salad.

01:39:21.040 Yeah.

01:39:21.380 Yeah.

01:39:21.720 For the rest of my life, hopefully, not a salad.

01:39:24.460 Do you even put lettuce on cheeseburgers?

01:39:27.380 Uh, depends.

01:39:28.060 If it's really, really fresh, yes.

01:39:29.500 If it starts to get a little droopy, no.

01:39:31.080 Okay.

01:39:31.300 Yeah.

01:39:32.000 And I don't really consider McDonald's.

01:39:34.020 I don't really consider that lettuce.

01:39:35.480 I'm not sure what that stuff is.

01:39:37.540 So anyway, um, you, you don't ever have to eat a salad ever again.

01:39:42.820 If you want your, your nutrients and your vitamins and everything else, you can get it

01:39:48.140 now in field of greens.

01:39:51.160 This is, this is not a supplement.

01:39:54.760 This is the actual nutrition.

01:39:56.780 When you'll know something as a scam, when it says a hundred percent, uh, organic, and

01:40:01.800 then you look down and it says supplements.

01:40:04.220 This is not supplements.

01:40:05.760 This is real USDA, organic fruits and vegetables complete with the antioxidants, the, which will

01:40:11.540 please tell me it has iodics in it.

01:40:14.280 I only eat things that have iodics.

01:40:16.480 Well, it has, uh, antioxidants.

01:40:18.880 It has, uh, it has probiotic.

01:40:21.780 It has prebiotic.

01:40:23.560 Okay, good.

01:40:23.860 Does not have antibiotic.

01:40:25.680 Okay.

01:40:26.480 Okay.

01:41:10.940 I don't think people know how close we are to that.

01:41:14.140 Yeah.

01:41:14.600 I mean, if you really think about it, you have people that I think most would recognize

01:41:19.020 are either socialist, democratic socialists.

01:41:22.180 I mean, we talked about the clip of, uh, the article written by a democratic socialist

01:41:25.840 that said, our long-term goal is to end capitalism period.

01:41:29.440 And that's the Ocasio-Cortez wing of the party, which is now every main, uh, democratic

01:41:35.580 nominee.

01:41:36.020 And you might think, well, there are never, people are not going to vote for socialists

01:41:40.260 in the end, but when it comes down to a one-on-one, anything can happen.

01:41:44.060 Anything can happen.

01:41:45.180 If there's a, if there's a scandal or the economy turns negative at the wrong time, anything

01:41:50.460 can happen.

01:41:51.200 And you could wind up with a Bernie Sanders as your president.

01:41:54.180 And that is changing the entire fabric of our society.

01:41:58.180 I think it's amazing, um, in, in the response to AOC on what happened with Amazon.

01:42:03.620 I mean, first of all, there's a billboard that was put up in Times Square.

01:42:07.020 It says 25,000 jobs lost $4 billion in lost wages, 12 billion in lost economic activity

01:42:14.840 for New York.

01:42:15.580 Thanks for nothing, AOC.

01:42:18.500 Now she's coming back and say, so some billionaire spending money on a billboard.

01:42:22.360 That's no big deal.

01:42:23.180 I'm with the people.

01:42:24.000 I don't know the people are with you on this.

01:42:26.800 I mean, I really don't know.

01:42:29.020 Maybe there was a few people that are, you know, wanted to keep the lifestyle exactly the

01:42:33.900 way it was, but this, the mayor of New York, the governor of New York is pissed at her.

01:42:39.580 Yeah.

01:42:39.740 And this is your difference.

01:42:40.960 You've been highlighting between the hip Democrats and the hip replacement Democrats.

01:42:46.180 Right.

01:42:46.380 Because they, because the guy she, uh, replaced would not have attempted to stop an Amazon

01:42:52.480 deal.

01:42:52.960 And by the way, you, you say, you know, she's with, she says she's with the people.

01:42:56.000 The polling overwhelmingly shows that New Yorkers are in favor of Amazon being there.

01:43:01.520 So this is what Cuomo wrote.

01:43:03.940 Amazon chose to come to New York because we are the capital of the world and the best place

01:43:07.800 to do business.

01:43:08.680 Uh, I don't think you've been there before, Governor.

01:43:10.920 We competed in and won the most hotly contested national economic development competition in

01:43:16.840 the United States, resulting in at least 25 to 40,000 good paying jobs for our state and

01:43:22.040 nearly $30 billion in new revenue to fund transit improvements, new housing, schools, and countless

01:43:27.740 other, uh, life improvements.

01:43:29.700 Bringing Amazon to New York, diversified our economy away from real estate and wall street,

01:43:34.840 further cementing our status as an emerging center for tech.

01:43:38.200 It was an extraordinary economic win, not just for Queens, New York city, but for the

01:43:42.420 entire region from long, from Long Island to Albany's nanotech center.

01:43:47.320 However, a few politicians put their own narrow political interest above their community,

01:43:53.180 which poll after poll shows overwhelmingly supported bringing Amazon to Long Island city,

01:43:58.220 the state's economic future and the best interests of the people of this state.

01:44:02.080 The New York state Senate has done a term has done tremendous damage.

01:44:06.260 They should be held accountable for this lost economic opportunity.

01:44:09.940 The fundamentals of New York business climate and community that attracted Amazon to be here,

01:44:14.800 our talent pool, world-class education system, commitment to diversity and progressivism

01:44:20.160 remain, and we won't be deterred as we continue to attract world-class business communities

01:44:25.960 across New York state.

01:44:27.300 I will tell you the, he, he put the one word in there, progressivism, that that's,

01:44:32.800 that's a job killer.

01:44:34.100 That's a job killer.

01:44:35.580 And progressivism is just the slow progressive, uh, the slow progression, uh, from a free market

01:44:43.720 to a socialist market.

01:44:45.840 That's, that's what that is.

01:44:50.160 That's what you're getting now.

01:44:51.480 You're just at the end of it.

01:44:52.840 So now you're getting the actual revolutionaries that want to get rid of the free market.

01:44:58.560 Now she came out and she was tweeting about this.

01:45:01.860 I don't think she understands the tax code at all.

01:45:05.160 I don't think she understands almost anything she talks about at all.

01:45:07.900 She has a degree in economics.

01:45:10.160 That does not change my analysis.

01:45:11.800 No, I know that.

01:45:12.660 But how did she get, I mean, BU should be, BU should be questioning their entire,

01:45:17.380 if I had a kid that went to BU for economics, oh my gosh, and they turned her out, I would

01:45:22.880 be quite, I would ask for my money back.

01:45:25.440 How, how is, when you hear her talk about, we could have used all of that money and given

01:45:31.220 it back to the taxpayers.

01:45:32.380 We could have, we could have used all that money and, and built things.

01:45:36.160 Excuse me.

01:45:38.260 They, they give them a tax break.

01:45:41.760 They give them a tax break.

01:45:43.220 So it's not like you have that money sitting in a bank.

01:45:47.520 They come in, they make money, you lower their tax rate to attract them.

01:45:54.600 The taxes that they do pay and all of the workers pay go to rebuild infrastructure, et cetera,

01:46:00.960 et cetera.

01:46:01.240 She has no idea how the system even works.

01:46:04.240 No clue.

01:46:04.960 Did she even listen when she went to university?

01:46:10.920 No.

01:46:11.280 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:46:14.240 No, she did not.

01:46:15.840 I want to tell you a little bit about Goldline.

01:46:18.540 Let's see if you even listened.

01:46:20.740 Why is gold important in a situation like what we're headed into?

01:46:24.800 Well, it's important because when you take the wrapper from the outside off, there's chocolate

01:46:27.900 inside.

01:46:28.400 And so hungry people are able to get food.

01:46:31.240 Why is it?

01:46:32.080 Why is it important?

01:46:33.280 Yeah.

01:46:33.520 I mean, it's, it's been the hedge against disaster for all of human history.

01:46:38.060 So when things go bad, you have gold there to, uh, you know, it's a system that's set

01:46:44.620 up.

01:46:44.820 That's always there to be used if you need it.

01:46:46.980 And man always gets arrogant and says, we don't need gold.

01:46:50.400 We have this and it doesn't matter what it is.

01:46:53.340 Literally there's, there are cultures in the world that have used giant rocks and the biggest

01:46:58.240 rock was, you know, you were the richest man in town.

01:47:01.040 That's true.

01:47:02.260 Um, that doesn't work.

01:47:03.800 Gold is always the thing that the world comes back to.

01:47:08.160 Please find out if you should be invested in gold or silver.

01:47:11.120 The real stuff call 866 gold line, subscribe to blaze TV, blaze tv.com slash back.

01:47:17.680 I don't think they take chocolate coins at this point, but we're working on that big rocks.

01:47:21.600 Yeah, big rocks are mine.

01:47:31.140 Eric Early, he is an attorney.

01:47:34.700 Um, he is actually a managing partner at his firm, uh, that is usually involved in really

01:47:42.600 complex, uh, litigation matters, uh, focusing on business, entertainment, real estate, title,

01:47:48.960 escrow related litigation, yada, yada, yada, yada, but he also is, um, involved in a case

01:47:58.640 in California that everyone should be paying attention to very, um, clear cut on the outset,

01:48:04.860 but he is fighting, uh, Hydra, uh, his, um, uh, his clients are suing to block in, um,

01:48:16.260 inclusivity teaching in the schools in California.

01:48:21.420 And Eric joins us to tell about it, uh, right now.

01:48:24.320 Hello, Eric.

01:48:24.860 How are you?

01:48:25.940 I'm good, Glenn.

01:48:26.880 Thanks for having me.

01:48:27.720 You bet.

01:48:28.300 Um, all right.

01:48:28.860 So the parents, they don't want to be inclusive.

01:48:32.500 How hate mongering of them.

01:48:35.020 Yeah, uh, they are so hate mongering.

01:48:37.160 Uh, this, uh, this outfit, uh, I was contacted about, uh, a couple months ago by a group of

01:48:45.200 concerned citizens in Santa Barbara, California.

01:48:48.140 Uh, they knew that I had run for California attorney general as a Republican.

01:48:52.220 I had gotten almost a million votes.

01:48:54.720 I had never run for public office before.

01:48:57.100 And they contacted me and they said, listen, we have a problem up here and, and we need some

01:49:02.440 help.

01:49:03.140 And they told me the story that they had learned right about that time.

01:49:07.380 Uh, a parent and a teacher had gone to one of these programs where they were supposed

01:49:11.980 to learn about, uh, implicit bias training.

01:49:16.120 And they were, they were told they were, they soon were separated out because they were white.

01:49:21.820 They were separated out into a group separate from all the other parents there.

01:49:25.940 Uh, and they started being told how they were racist.

01:49:29.500 Uh, meanwhile, the people teaching this class had never seen them before, didn't know them.

01:49:35.220 The parents said, what are you talking about?

01:49:36.780 We're not racist.

01:49:37.560 The more they try and fight back, the more they were attacked by these people, uh, so-called

01:49:43.040 doing the teaching.

01:49:43.820 So what this has amounted to is that the Santa Barbara Unified School District has hired a

01:49:50.240 group called Just Communities Central Coast.

01:49:52.300 And they've been working with this Just Communities group for several years now, paid them more

01:49:58.360 than a million dollars in taxpayer funds.

01:50:00.900 And this group goes in and indoctrinates the teachers and the students.

01:50:04.540 And their programming is just outrageous.

01:50:07.940 So, uh, so a, a nonprofit called Fair Education Santa Barbara was formed by these, uh, concerned

01:50:15.060 parents.

01:50:15.840 And we recently filed a lawsuit on their behalf, uh, in federal court here in Los Angeles against

01:50:21.600 both the school district and this Just Communities outfit.

01:50:25.900 It is amazing, Eric, is it not?

01:50:27.840 How things have flipped.

01:50:29.640 It's like we're back in the 1950s, except white is black and black is white.

01:50:34.780 I mean, that's a very good point.

01:50:37.340 And, and things have totally flipped.

01:50:39.740 And one of the ironies of our cases, uh, is that we are bringing the case based on constitutional

01:50:47.260 or statutes based on the U.S. Constitution that were put in place to protect, uh, minorities

01:50:54.320 such as, uh, blacks, uh, Hispanics, Asians, et cetera.

01:50:58.540 Now we're relying on those statutes to protect white people.

01:51:02.700 This is hard.

01:51:03.560 So when you talk about inclusivity, uh, training, what exactly are they teaching?

01:51:09.840 Because they would make the argument, well, of course it's good to be inclusive.

01:51:13.080 Of course these things are okay.

01:51:14.380 What exactly are they teaching here?

01:51:17.080 Well, just, just stepping back a second, this, this, this so-called implicit bias training

01:51:22.740 is being taught all over the place now.

01:51:24.820 Uh, it's, it's required, uh, sort of education, uh, for federal workers, uh, ever since sort

01:51:32.240 of a, an executive order came down, uh, during the Obama administration as being taught more

01:51:37.060 and more in schools.

01:51:37.840 So implicit bias training in and of itself is, is basically becoming the norm, whether

01:51:43.920 you like it or not.

01:51:44.960 The problem with this group is it goes way beyond the pale of, uh, your standard implicit

01:51:52.300 bias training.

01:51:53.540 And is, uh, here, let me read you something right from one of the, the documents that these

01:51:58.640 parents gave us, uh, which we've attached to our complaint.

01:52:01.940 It's called forms of oppression and it's, it's a chart and in the left column, it says form

01:52:07.160 of oppression and it uses the, and it says underneath that racism.

01:52:11.100 And then just to the right of that, there's a column says privilege group says white people

01:52:16.060 in the target group.

01:52:17.440 It says, it says people of color go back to the form of oppression column.

01:52:22.140 It says religious oppression, privilege group, Christian people, target group, all others.

01:52:28.960 So this is the kind of, yeah, this is the kind of insanity that's being taught to the

01:52:33.620 kids of the Santa Barbara Unified School District.

01:52:36.360 And most of the parents out there we've spoken to had no clue this was going on in the schools.

01:52:41.040 Wow.

01:52:41.880 How your kid would have to come back if you're talking to your kid, they would have to come

01:52:47.980 back and say some of this stuff to you.

01:52:49.620 Well, that's how some of these people have been finding out about it.

01:52:54.120 And, and I've spoken to one parent and he had, uh, I thought it was a great suggestion.

01:52:58.980 He said, you know, we have to sign a permission slip for our kids to go on a field trip and we

01:53:06.180 should have to sign a permission slip if we want our kids, our young kids to sit through

01:53:13.820 this kind of training.

01:53:15.280 Uh, but of course the school district basically keeps it under wraps.

01:53:20.280 They'll say they don't keep it under wraps, but, but they basically do.

01:53:24.700 And, uh, and so now, uh, thanks to our lawsuit, thanks to the attention this is getting in

01:53:29.680 Santa Barbara, uh, people are becoming aware of it.

01:53:32.720 Uh, another thing that we learned in this case that people are also becoming aware of is

01:53:37.100 the, the school board up there, which hires, uh, which hires this group and is so enamored

01:53:43.920 with this just communities group is, is made up mostly of, of the same, what I call, you

01:53:50.320 know, alt left social warrior types.

01:53:52.460 It's, it's really, really troubling.

01:53:55.000 And this is just another example of how this creeping, you know, Alinsky-esque kind of programming

01:54:02.920 has been going through the schools and, and, and, and, and this is, uh, this is what the

01:54:07.400 kids are learning growing up.

01:54:08.880 Eric, it would be bad enough if this stuff was just being taught to kids in school, but

01:54:13.620 this is actually costing the taxpayers a lot of cash too, isn't it?

01:54:17.700 Eric, that's correct.

01:54:19.060 Uh, over the course of the last several years, this school district has, has authorized a

01:54:24.860 payment of more than a million dollars to just community center coast of taxpayer funds.

01:54:29.740 And the latest contract that was just entered in October, uh, is for another $300,000 for

01:54:36.480 the next school year.

01:54:37.840 And, uh, you know, it's remarkable and all of this is being brought to the attention of

01:54:42.760 the federal court.

01:54:43.460 So, uh, you know, we've got some, some really important claims.

01:54:47.880 It's a strong case and we just hope we, uh, we get the right ruling.

01:54:51.940 Who is that group?

01:54:53.220 Who makes up that group?

01:54:54.460 Who sponsored that group?

01:54:55.680 Who created that group?

01:54:57.660 This just community central coast?

01:54:59.460 Yes.

01:55:00.220 Uh, you know, it, it started, I believe in St. Louis, uh, and it's, uh, these, these sort

01:55:07.980 of social justice types, uh, very left wing and, uh, and basically like a, it can't like

01:55:15.080 a cancer.

01:55:15.700 It, it has spread out to California and they created a base in the Santa Barbara area.

01:55:20.940 And now they're trying to spread this orthodoxy throughout the state of California.

01:55:26.400 Uh, it's, it's very troubling.

01:55:28.360 And, you know, one thing about, one thing you learn about people on the left is they are

01:55:34.080 great at organizing.

01:55:35.260 They're much better at organizing than the conservative folks I know, you know, conservative

01:55:39.720 people I know are much more independent, believe in liberty, believe in, uh, in free speech

01:55:46.660 and, and, and I want the government out of our lives.

01:55:48.600 But these groups on the other side are just the opposite.

01:55:52.060 Uh, they want the government to take over everything and they, they're, they're just passionately

01:55:57.080 organized to, uh, do what they're seeking to do.

01:56:00.160 So, uh, you know, they're putting up a fight.

01:56:02.240 They're using their, their, you know, typical tactics.

01:56:05.260 Have started to try and, uh, silence us.

01:56:08.480 Uh, but we won't be silenced.

01:56:09.860 And, and I, you know, and, and along those lines, we have a few people that started this,

01:56:14.480 uh, fair education, Santa Barbara that are really brave people because in this day and

01:56:19.120 age, if you make these kinds of arguments, uh, I'm sure most of your listeners know the

01:56:23.660 kind of attacks that we become subject to.

01:56:26.120 How can we help?

01:56:26.940 Uh, well, www.fareducation.org is, uh, is the website that's been set up by fair education.

01:56:37.220 And I would, uh, ask your listeners to go to fair education.org and, and, uh, read about

01:56:43.720 what's going on and, uh, donate to the cause.

01:56:46.820 It's a, uh, tax deductible donation and support us in any other way that, that you can think

01:56:51.980 of.

01:56:52.160 Are you, uh, are you confident you're going to win or?

01:56:59.140 Well, our lawsuit is very strong.

01:57:03.080 And, uh, you know, in this day and age in California, in the court system, you don't

01:57:09.440 know what's going to happen, but, uh, if the court follows the law and the facts, we should

01:57:14.440 win this case.

01:57:15.900 Big F, but, uh, good luck.

01:57:17.720 Yeah.

01:57:18.100 Good luck, Eric.

01:57:18.960 And, uh, stay in touch with us.

01:57:20.060 Let us know what happens.

01:57:20.880 Okay.

01:57:21.500 Great.

01:57:21.920 Thank you very much.

01:57:22.800 All right.

01:57:23.140 News for, uh, this school district.

01:57:24.980 You don't need $300,000 to teach kids that white people are racist.

01:57:29.800 Just flip on MSNBC for the afternoon.

01:57:31.960 I mean, you can get this all over the place.

01:57:34.020 Very low cost.

01:57:35.460 Very low.

01:57:35.840 I mean, let's just be bargain hunters.

01:57:37.720 If we want to call white people racist, we can get that all over the place for free.

01:57:42.340 Why bother spending $300,000 for it?

01:57:44.560 At the very least, that's a good cost.

01:57:46.380 That's what we were talking about yesterday about, uh, uh, John Wayne.

01:57:50.060 I think that's why John Wayne was taken apart yesterday.

01:57:52.280 I mean, when are they going to take a, when are they going to take apart Lyndon Baines Johnson

01:57:55.760 for all the things that he said?

01:57:57.440 When are they going to take a Woodrow Wilson, FDR?

01:58:00.460 When are they going to take Margaret Sanger to task for what she said?

01:58:03.860 They're not.

01:58:04.220 They excused that.

01:58:05.300 John Wayne, John Wayne, nobody's going to hire him.

01:58:08.620 I don't know if you know this, but he's dead.

01:58:10.500 So he's not going to make any more movies.

01:58:12.280 Why would you do that?

01:58:13.320 They're doing that so they can attack every single American icon and have it destroyed.

01:58:20.180 That's why they attacked John Wayne.

01:58:22.100 What he said in 1971 wasn't great by any stretch of the imagination, but who would have even

01:58:27.400 known it?

01:58:28.200 And what difference does it make now?

01:58:30.840 John Wayne's not influencing anybody.

01:58:32.760 John Wayne is, you know, is dead.

01:58:34.980 It's hard to do when you're dead.

01:58:37.400 It's so difficult.

01:58:38.680 I know.

01:58:39.080 And he sent us an application and yesterday I had to say no.

01:58:42.700 Liberty Safe is the best built safe on the planet, bar none.

01:58:46.660 Are they making the ice cream locks yet?

01:58:48.240 Liberty Safe?

01:58:49.280 Ooh.

01:58:49.980 Ben and Jerry said there's new locks for the ice cream so people can't steal stuff out of

01:58:53.860 your pints in the freezer.

01:58:55.740 Seriously?

01:58:56.260 Yeah.

01:58:56.580 They've actually built a combination pint locks from Ben and Jerry's.

01:59:00.200 Oh my God.

01:59:00.720 And you put them on the top of your ice cream and then no one can steal the rest of your ice

01:59:04.240 cream.

01:59:04.400 See, I've been trying to get Liberty Safe just to put refrigeration and freezing in the

01:59:09.560 safe.

01:59:09.940 Oh, then that's where you would store all your ice cream valuables, which is anything with

01:59:14.900 a certain fat content and sugar content goes in there.

01:59:18.420 Goes in there.

01:59:19.020 So people can't steal it right.

01:59:20.600 I'll keep my chocolate at a nice temperature, you know, freeze the Snickers bars.

01:59:26.020 Oh, now you've told me what I'm eating for the rest of the day.

01:59:52.660 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

02:00:02.820 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

02:00:04.860 There's a couple of stories here about AI that I think are disturbing.

02:00:08.940 First of all, new AI can guess whether you're gay or straight from a photograph.

02:00:12.220 I mean, I thought that I thought that was I thought that was just us.

02:00:17.200 Right.

02:00:17.680 I thought we were supposed to stop doing that.

02:00:19.840 Now something smarter than us says it can do it.

02:00:24.040 Yeah, I'm very confused as to the level of AI.

02:00:27.340 AI is an interesting topic, artificial intelligence, because you listen to Glenn and it is all about

02:00:33.200 how, you know, we could we could be basically dead.

02:00:37.140 All of us could be dead.

02:00:38.520 Now, of course, every topic Glenn brings to, you know, the idea that we could all be dead.

02:00:42.320 Yeah.

02:00:42.740 But this one in particular is a real threat.

02:00:46.240 And a lot of people, a lot smarter than Glenn, believe the same thing.

02:00:50.680 But then at the same time, it's AI.

02:00:52.460 Can it guess whether you're gay or straight from a photograph?

02:00:54.880 And at the same time, the artificial intelligence network of a gigantic company with the biggest

02:01:02.000 company almost in the world backing at Google on YouTube.

02:01:05.280 They can't stop a network of pedophiles from watching videos with kids playing and like

02:01:13.620 they're highlighting when they're doing splits in their underwear and all of this.

02:01:17.940 It's horrible what's going on.

02:01:18.660 And they're recommending these videos.

02:01:20.900 So you like if you are one of these people, according to Wired magazine, want to make sure

02:01:25.100 I tell you I did not do the research on this myself.

02:01:27.640 This is one of those times I do not want to take credit for the research.

02:01:29.720 But they went on and were linking, were watching a video and they were able to get recommendations

02:01:36.980 from YouTube to go watch videos that pedophiles are commenting underneath with time codes of

02:01:43.680 when, you know, kids bend over in certain ways and all this other creepy nonsense.

02:01:49.280 And for some reason, YouTube can't get control of that with their AI.

02:01:53.480 Now, maybe this is because we're too early in the artificial intelligence game.

02:01:58.160 And I mean, you could argue, I guess, maybe you think YouTube doesn't care.

02:02:01.380 But I mean, I think just from public relations, they do care.

02:02:04.060 I think they would love to stop this, but they can't seem to figure out a way to do it.

02:02:08.340 I mean, it's weird.

02:02:09.540 Here is here's something really interesting.

02:02:13.160 The open open AI researchers were trying to come up with an AI that will that will predict

02:02:21.040 what you're writing and help you write with prompts.

02:02:24.380 OK, so we see it now if you're on Gmail's doing that Gmail.

02:02:28.480 Yeah, you it just suggests the words and you can pretty much just type just by going up

02:02:32.740 and clicking on the words.

02:02:33.960 Um, well, open AI research researchers have come up with something that is so good.

02:02:40.020 The creators will not allow it to leave the laboratory.

02:02:47.400 Here's the thing.

02:02:48.860 Let me read this from The Hobbit.

02:02:51.480 The orc's response was deafening onslaught of claws, claws and claws.

02:02:56.880 Even Elrond was forced to retreat.

02:02:59.160 You're in good hands, dwarf, said Gimli,

02:03:01.420 who had been among the first to charge at the orcs.

02:03:04.280 It only took two words before their opponents were reduced to a blood-soaked quagmire

02:03:08.900 and the dwarf took his first kill of the night.

02:03:13.500 That was written by a program that they fed the trilogy into AI and said,

02:03:22.540 write some additional scenes for The Hobbit.

02:03:24.800 For The Hobbit.

02:03:26.240 Is this nuts?

02:03:27.620 I mean, that sounds like it could absolutely be in one of the books.

02:03:30.060 I mean, it is, it's crazy.

02:03:32.000 They're saying that this is so good that they believe that it could nonstop generate news

02:03:38.020 that is fake, that everybody would believe.

02:03:40.700 It could nonstop generate homework that would, would pass.

02:03:45.980 Oh, for kids getting homework, they could just go to the AI.

02:03:49.400 Oh, yeah.

02:03:49.860 Oh, wow.

02:03:50.400 And all you have to do is tell it what you want it to do and it will do it.

02:03:53.940 I will say the AI is better than daddy doing it.

02:03:57.160 I gotta say that.

02:03:58.000 Can we talk about that?

02:03:58.800 Yes.

02:03:59.940 Oh.

02:04:00.460 I don't want to do the kids' homework.

02:04:01.860 Let the AI do it.

02:04:02.940 That's why I'm doing homework.

02:04:05.180 Look, I tell my kids I did my homework when I was a kid.

02:04:08.280 I didn't.

02:04:08.780 My parents did my homework when I was a kid.

02:04:11.240 Now, I'm having to build volcanoes and class projects.

02:04:15.420 This is wrong.

02:04:16.280 It's got to stop.

02:04:17.040 And we're not as good as AI.

02:04:18.040 We're barely I.

02:04:18.880 You're listening to Glenn Beck.
