The Glenn Beck Program - 'Get Ready, Socialism is Coming'？

00:00:00.000 The Blaze Radio Network, on demand, Glenn Beck.

00:00:08.720 Jihadist training camp found in New Mexico.

00:00:12.880 That is the headline that should be everywhere in America today.

00:00:18.220 Let me say it again.

00:00:19.560 Jihadist terror camp found in New Mexico.

00:00:24.860 It's not the one you're reading, though, is it?

00:00:26.860 I would ask you to check out MSNBC to see how they're reporting this story.

00:00:31.820 They don't really find it newsworthy as just a few minutes before we went on the air.

00:00:36.280 Imagine that.

00:00:36.940 What about CNN?

00:00:38.360 Their headline reads, children found in New Mexico compound training for school shootings, prosecutors say.

00:00:46.260 That's their headline, which leads to all kinds of fake news on Twitter.

00:00:52.500 All of the people saying, thanks, Dana Lash and the NRA.

00:00:57.740 All of the people who are now betting that this is an NRA member.

00:01:02.780 Why?

00:01:04.060 Because they're not including all of the details in the story.

00:01:09.500 So let's do that for them.

00:01:14.040 You decide what this story is about.

00:01:16.160 Here's what we know so far.

00:01:18.400 Police raided a remote New Mexico property last Friday.

00:01:22.500 They were looking for a missing boy.

00:01:23.860 Now, here are the details.

00:01:26.660 See if there's an overriding theme here that might change a headline or two.

00:01:31.620 A Georgia woman had reported that her sixth son was kidnapped by her, now separated husband.

00:01:38.780 He had driven all the way from Georgia to New Mexico to perform an Islamic ritual on his son. 0.76

00:01:46.660 It's called Rukia.

00:01:49.620 Now, the arrest warrant claims the father wanted to perform an exorcism on his child, but the mother said it was a translation error.

00:01:57.980 So now, how can you screw up a word like exorcism?

00:02:01.040 Well, I'll come back to it.

00:02:04.260 See, if you use the word exorcism, oh, well, now it's a compound training kids to shoot kids out in the middle of nowhere, and they're performing exorcisms.

00:02:18.600 What does that sound like, Stu?

00:02:21.560 Huh.

00:02:21.960 Well, let's see.

00:02:22.980 It's a tough one.

00:02:23.720 Does it sound like a Muslim or a Christian camp?

00:02:27.560 I was going to go Jehovah's Witness. 0.98

00:02:29.740 Okay.

00:02:30.180 All right.

00:02:30.660 Sure.

00:02:31.520 The alleged kidnapper's name is Siraj Wahaj.

00:02:36.380 Ah, right in the pocket of the Jehovah's Witnesses. 1.00

00:02:39.140 His family, let's just say, has a little bit of a checkered background.

00:02:43.520 His father is a New York City area imam that heads a mosque there.

00:02:48.000 Oh, that doesn't sound so bad.

00:02:49.020 No, it doesn't, except he was also named as an unignited co-conspirator of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

00:02:55.200 He was also a character witness for the defense of the blind friggin' sheet in 1995.

00:03:04.140 A character witness.

00:03:05.680 When police raided the New Mexico property, they found 11 children, ages 1 to 15.

00:03:12.900 They were dirty, barely dressed, and had no food or water.

00:03:17.120 People who do this for a living said this is the worst squalor they have ever seen children found in.

00:03:25.020 The house was made into a makeshift protected compound with tires and wooden pallets creating a fortified wall.

00:03:32.460 Wahaj was armed with an AR-15 and four handguns.

00:03:40.520 In total, five adults were arrested.

00:03:42.900 Thanks a lot, NRA.

00:03:44.080 Three women, all wearing Islamic headscarves, and two men.

00:03:50.200 Got any themes yet?

00:03:52.260 I mean, it sounds like...

00:03:53.460 It sounds like it's directly from the National Rifle Association.

00:03:57.780 Great, great.

00:03:59.400 Now, Islamic extremism may be involved here.

00:04:03.600 What?

00:04:04.560 Well, the Taos County Sheriff said the kidnappers were considered heavily armed and, quote,

00:04:11.580 extremists of the Muslim belief, end quote.

00:04:15.380 That's the police and their, quote.

00:04:18.920 Let me give you the CNN headline again.

00:04:21.020 What's their motivation?

00:04:22.000 Well, I don't know, because...

00:04:23.160 We may never know.

00:04:23.880 No, CNN headline is children found in New Mexico compound training for school shootings.

00:04:30.800 Again, extremists of the Muslim belief, end quote.

00:04:34.920 They also said the children were being trained to perform school shootings.

00:04:39.740 Oh, and let me just go back to the exorcism.

00:04:42.380 That messed up translation on the word exorcism.

00:04:45.040 It's actually pretty easy to explain.

00:04:47.080 And this does make you an extremist, I just want to point out.

00:04:52.120 There is an exorcism.

00:04:54.760 It's a right in Islam called... 0.56

00:04:57.080 I think it's Ruqya.

00:04:58.260 It's R-U-Q-Y-A. 1.00

00:05:01.620 But jihadists use the same word as exorcism, or R-U-Q-U-A, when they pray over a sick person.

00:05:11.720 And not just any sick person.

00:05:13.800 When a Muslim believes that a child or someone else is sick due to Western medicine, they have to perform this ritual to get all of the Western out of them. 1.00

00:05:28.000 You know, the Crusaders and their evil modern-day medicines have to be taken out through religious ritual. 0.87

00:05:37.980 They don't sound like Muslim extremists at all to me.

00:05:40.600 Do you?

00:05:40.980 No, I haven't even sniffed a tie so far, other than the police saying it directly.

00:05:47.000 So let me ask you this.

00:05:50.480 How does anyone know these facts and write the headline,

00:05:56.380 Children found in New Mexico compound training for school shootings, prosecutors say?

00:06:03.800 Well, prosecutors also said they were extremists of the Muslim belief.

00:06:08.180 Isn't that interesting?

00:06:12.060 Well, they don't want you to focus on this story because there's something else that came out overnight.

00:06:18.860 This guy who was running this camp?

00:06:25.880 Yeah, he was a...

00:06:27.420 I want to get this exactly right.

00:06:31.300 If I have it here, do I have it?

00:06:33.460 I have it, I have it.

00:06:34.140 Yeah, here I have it.

00:06:35.700 I want to use the exact words.

00:06:39.020 He was a, quote, mentor, motivator, and encourager of mine.

00:06:44.680 You know who said that?

00:06:49.240 Linda Sarsour.

00:06:58.500 It's Thursday, August 9th.

00:07:01.180 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:07:03.260 All right, so let me just...

00:07:05.980 Who's Linda Sarsour? 1.00

00:07:07.140 Well, who's that?

00:07:08.680 Is that some right-wing activist?

00:07:10.840 Gun activist, I bet. 0.96

00:07:11.820 Is it Dana Lash's brother?

00:07:14.560 Let me explain to anybody who doesn't listen to the show all the time,

00:07:20.880 or if you happen to be listening, you know, at Media Matters or wherever.

00:07:26.300 This is why Americans don't trust the press.

00:07:32.100 Yesterday, they're still going on about collusion.

00:07:35.560 They have nothing.

00:07:36.140 They have opinions, they have speculation, and most of the news is opinions about speculation.

00:07:47.060 They don't have any facts.

00:07:48.640 But when they do have facts, and it doesn't fit their narrative, they don't cover it.

00:07:54.420 This is a really big story.

00:07:57.000 When you look at just, forget about Linda Sarsour for a minute, when you just look that we have found a Muslim extremist terror training camp, 0.99

00:08:09.200 and they were training children to go in and kill children, is there a more important story than that today?

00:08:17.580 Is there a more important story than that today?

00:08:22.860 I have said for a very long time, and if we have time today, we're going to cover this.

00:08:27.760 Beslan is the thing that would destroy this country, would tear us apart.

00:08:33.040 And that is what happened in Beslan, Russia, Chechnyan extremists, Muslim extremists, went in on the first day of school and slaughtered these children.

00:08:46.640 I mean, it was horrible.

00:08:48.260 You might remember it.

00:08:49.260 It happened right at the same time the Chechnyan extremists took over the, I think it was a theater, a ballet or something like that in Moscow,

00:08:57.360 and they ended up having to gas all of those people.

00:09:01.720 This was horrifying, absolutely horrifying what happened.

00:09:07.840 And it has been a shock to me, and thank you, FBI.

00:09:12.380 It has been a shock to me that they haven't done this yet.

00:09:16.560 Well, you're training 15 kids to go into schools and shoot people?

00:09:23.960 Hmm.

00:09:24.820 What do you think that would do to us?

00:09:27.360 And who do you think you'd be blamed on, Islam or the NRA?

00:09:34.580 How many people would defend the actions of these terrorists and blame it on the NRA, even if they knew it was a Muslim extremist camp?

00:09:49.620 I would think many in the press.

00:09:51.640 So it's not just their agenda on the NRA that is making them leave out all of the Islamic extremists.

00:10:03.480 It is also their, I don't know, coddling of Islamic extremists, the out-and-out denial that these things are happening in our country.

00:10:15.860 They don't want to say those things.

00:10:20.460 But this story goes deeper.

00:10:23.640 This story goes to Linda Sarsour.

00:10:27.140 Now, who is Linda Sarsour? 0.99

00:10:29.360 One of the founders and heads of the Women's March.

00:10:32.260 Oh, really?

00:10:32.740 You mean the Women's March that is going against Trump?

00:10:36.140 Yes.

00:10:36.800 The same Women's March that went and she brought all of these big leaders of all of these radical groups and the Democratic Party in to see Louis Farrakhan.

00:10:49.500 But it was no big deal?

00:10:50.540 No big deal.

00:10:51.280 That lady. 1.00

00:10:52.560 Okay.

00:10:53.440 Linda Sarsour.

00:10:54.360 You mean Linda Sarsour, the one who advises and counsels with the heads of the Democratic Party.

00:11:01.800 That Linda Sarsour?

00:11:04.420 Linda Sarsour came out at the last ISNA conference.

00:11:11.140 And this is how she started her speech. 0.93

00:11:14.380 And to my favorite person in this room, that's mutual, is Imam Suraj Wahaj, who has been a mentor, a motivator, an encourager of mine.

00:11:23.520 Someone who has taught me to speak truth to power and not worry about the consequences.

00:11:27.560 Someone who has taught me that we are on this earth to please Allah and only Allah, that we are not here to please any man or woman on this earth.

00:11:35.140 So I'm grateful to you, Imam Suraj.

00:11:37.000 And you might think this is weird, but every once in a while when I get into that deep, dark place, Imam Suraj comes and talks to me.

00:11:45.280 And then he helps me to emerge out of those spaces.

00:11:48.420 So I'm grateful to you, Imam Suraj.

00:11:50.060 And may Allah bless you and protect you and keep you for a long time for our community because we need you now more than ever.

00:11:57.100 They need him now more than ever.

00:11:59.840 Unfortunately, Allah did not protect him because his ass is rotten in jail today because he, her mentor, 0.99

00:12:10.280 was training 15 kids to kill other kids.

00:12:15.700 So you ask yourself, why isn't the media covering this?

00:12:22.400 Well, because this will hurt the Democratic Party.

00:12:25.180 That's why.

00:12:26.080 That is the only reason why.

00:12:28.600 This hurts the narrative of the left.

00:12:32.800 The narrative of the left that all of Islam is peaceful.

00:12:36.840 It is not.

00:12:38.480 About 10% is not.

00:12:41.020 And that's a lot of people.

00:12:42.920 The Islamist states, they are cruel, brutal, and as bad as any Nazi ever was. 1.00

00:12:54.980 But it's against women, not just Jews, women, homosexuals. 0.95

00:13:00.020 What the hell are you doing?

00:13:02.760 Fellow Americans who vote differently than me, but you still have compassion and a heart.

00:13:08.640 What are you doing?

00:13:09.560 These people want to kill.

00:13:14.120 They want to kill homosexuals.

00:13:16.560 They will abuse women. 0.99

00:13:21.040 Yesterday, I posted something on Twitter.

00:13:23.300 It's in Arabic.

00:13:25.640 I guess maybe we could play it and I could read the translation to you.

00:13:29.320 But it's an Arabic guy on the streets in the Middle East asking, what would you do if your sister went out and got a job?

00:13:42.560 I'd kill her.

00:13:46.220 That was the answer.

00:13:48.140 I'd kill her.

00:13:49.740 Why?

00:13:50.920 Because she's dishonoring me.

00:13:52.920 She's dishonoring my family. 0.66

00:13:54.300 Over and over and over again.

00:13:59.200 Please don't talk to me about how oppressive the hierarchy here in America is.

00:14:05.120 Can we focus on something a little bigger?

00:14:08.560 How can you possibly, possibly lay any ties down with people who believe that?

00:14:16.360 Well, I don't know who those people are.

00:14:19.760 Okay, we do know this.

00:14:22.040 Linda Sarsour, a person the DNC is in bed with deeply.

00:14:29.360 Linda Sarsour, somebody that the media all just airs like she is some princess from heaven. 0.95

00:14:36.020 She's a radical.

00:14:42.580 It's not a one-off that those people were sitting with Louis Farrakhan.

00:14:47.400 It's not.

00:14:48.960 This was her mentor.

00:14:52.540 And America, this is the kind of fake news that is being squashed.

00:15:01.840 This is why the media is not trusted.

00:15:06.220 Because we have her in her own words, praising, saying he comes to her in her darkest times to counsel.

00:15:15.760 He's a mentor.

00:15:17.140 He's a killer.

00:15:18.040 But the press can't even bring themselves to tell you that he's Muslim, let alone the ties to Linda Sarsour and the Democratic leadership.

00:15:32.620 Is there a bigger story still?

00:15:38.540 Has there been a bigger story since the Russian hacking of our...

00:15:46.620 It's a huge story.

00:15:47.560 Huge story.

00:15:48.280 I can't think of anything.

00:15:49.220 The Russia story is big.

00:15:51.520 But there's nothing new on it.

00:15:52.780 There's nothing new on it.

00:15:54.180 It's big.

00:15:55.020 Your point on CNN is great.

00:15:56.420 It's because it's like debating whether Episode IX of Star Wars is good or bad.

00:16:03.480 And it's like, well, we can all kind of have our opinion about what we think it will be, but it hasn't been released yet.

00:16:09.100 So we don't know.

00:16:09.880 So when it's released, we can all look at it and say, okay, here it is.

00:16:13.260 This is good.

00:16:13.760 This is bad.

00:16:14.240 Some people don't.

00:16:15.080 Look at Stu.

00:16:16.540 Look at Stu.

00:16:17.600 Coming up next hour, we're going to be doing an hour on the Star Wars deniers.

00:16:22.400 Those who believe you can't judge Star Wars yet because all the evidence isn't in.

00:16:28.960 We all know the science on Star Wars Episode IX is settled.

00:16:33.800 Now, I want to take you to Palm Beach letter.

00:16:37.160 Antika Tiwari is CryptoCourse.

00:16:38.600 Last night, he had two hours of question and answers online.

00:17:55.340 All right.

00:17:57.740 Let me ask you a question.

00:18:00.300 Let me show you the AP breaking news.

00:18:03.040 This is on Twitter.

00:18:04.780 Breaking.

00:18:05.660 Court documents say man arrested at New Mexico compound was training children to commit school

00:18:10.380 shootings.

00:18:10.960 Is that true?

00:18:11.720 Or is that fake news?

00:18:12.520 It's true.

00:18:17.140 It's true.

00:18:17.800 It's true.

00:18:18.460 It's misleading.

00:18:20.760 Yes, it's incomplete.

00:18:22.160 Incomplete is the better word.

00:18:23.160 It's incomplete.

00:18:24.180 Because of its incompleteness, you get retweets like this.

00:18:30.140 So he was an NRA member and a Donald Trump supporter.

00:18:32.740 Probably funded by the NRA.

00:18:36.200 Good guy with an NRA gun.

00:18:39.520 I'm willing to bet he's an NRA member.

00:18:42.120 So ridiculous.

00:18:43.060 Thanks, Dana Lash and the NRA.

00:18:45.560 I need to start a new business.

00:18:46.860 And when these stories break, I just need to find all the people who say I'm willing to

00:18:50.640 bet that it's an NRA member.

00:18:51.960 And they just bet them.

00:18:52.680 Bet them.

00:18:53.060 Because they're always wrong.

00:18:54.260 Yes.

00:18:54.540 I mean, they're always wrong on these things.

00:18:56.420 Isn't that crazy?

00:18:57.720 So you want to know what fake news is.

00:19:01.020 Fake news happens because of incomplete news.

00:19:06.740 For instance, on the Russia thing, we're arguing about fake news.

00:19:10.820 Well, I can tell you what some of the facts are.

00:19:14.800 But that's not what we're debating.

00:19:16.020 We're not debating the facts.

00:19:17.940 We're debating opinions about the facts.

00:19:22.220 Speculation.

00:19:22.820 In the old days, a journalist, a head of a newsroom, they would have come in and said,

00:19:28.720 hey, we think we have this.

00:19:30.260 Well, when you have it, let me know.

00:19:32.760 When you have it, we'll run that.

00:19:34.800 It was a thing at a time.

00:19:35.880 It was.

00:19:36.900 Now it's not.

00:19:38.160 Just like horse-drawn carriages were a thing.

00:19:40.540 Yes.

00:19:40.920 They were a big thing for a while.

00:19:42.860 No, it's about that old, I think.

00:19:46.280 It is, but I think it would be more like going from like a Bugatti and then saying,

00:19:52.520 we should go back to the horse carriage.

00:19:55.520 No, the Bugatti was right in the first place.

00:19:59.520 Check your sources.

00:20:00.380 When you have a fact, report it and nothing else.

00:20:04.140 Glenn Beck.

00:20:04.680 Mercury.

00:20:05.240 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:20:12.240 By the way, we are going to be taking your phone calls today on television at 5 o'clock.

00:20:20.480 Make sure that you join us live at 5 and we'll be taking your phone calls at the usual number,

00:20:25.880 888-727-BECK.

00:20:27.400 We're going to try to take your phone calls a little bit today on the radio as well if we can make the time.

00:20:33.160 But we have a full half hour just to talk to you on the phones today, 5 o'clock,

00:20:37.280 so you can voice your opinion and be heard.

00:20:40.380 We're talking a little bit about what happened with the arrest of a group of people,

00:20:47.640 men and women, Muslim extremists, who were training children to shoot other children in school. 0.93

00:20:56.340 Yeah, just that we should clarify this because I think some people are confused because it's the same name.

00:21:00.040 The dad and the son have basically, I think, the exact same name.

00:21:02.900 Yes.

00:21:03.100 So there are two of them.

00:21:05.740 It's junior and senior.

00:21:06.340 Right.

00:21:06.740 So this is an understandable point of confusion here because we didn't know anything about junior that was bad until yesterday.

00:21:17.160 We know about senior.

00:21:18.540 Senior we've known was bad for a long time.

00:21:20.660 Unindicted co-conspirator.

00:21:22.780 Also a character witness for the blind sheep.

00:21:27.180 I can't even believe this guy is in America, let alone the guy that Linda would say,

00:21:33.760 hey, by the way, he's a great guy and he's my mentor.

00:21:36.440 Right.

00:21:36.680 So a lot of people are thinking, oh, well, no, it's not that you can understand the confusion when you say,

00:21:44.320 hey, she was praising the son who we didn't know anything bad about until yesterday.

00:21:48.320 No, no, no, no, no, no.

00:21:49.340 She's praising the blind sheep character witness and the unindicted co-conspirator, the 93 World Trade Center.

00:21:55.440 The father of the guy who who raised a son who thinks that it's right to follow Allah to train kids to kill other kids.

00:22:06.160 That's a wow.

00:22:07.060 Wow.

00:22:07.560 I don't know which is worse.

00:22:09.120 I don't honestly know.

00:22:10.300 Honestly, I think the way it came out is worse.

00:22:12.800 The fact that you're praising someone who has been known to be bad for two decades.

00:22:17.580 If if you happen to know someone.

00:22:19.860 Right.

00:22:20.300 Right.

00:22:20.700 Like there could have been there are a lot of people who were friends with the BTK killer at church. 0.77

00:22:25.720 They may have praised them in speeches like crazy, but not knowing he was the BTK killer. 0.72

00:22:30.100 She's praising someone.

00:22:31.160 She knows was an unindicted co-conspirator in the 93 World Trade Center bombing.

00:22:35.760 And you know, it's much worse.

00:22:37.220 It's also something else.

00:22:38.320 Look, the crimes of the son did not go to the father and the crimes.

00:22:41.780 The father do not go to the son.

00:22:42.960 However, in this case, I think you could have a pretty strong case.

00:22:48.340 The guy who's saying, oh, the blind sheik, he is a prince of a guy. 0.98

00:22:51.760 I love him.

00:22:52.860 And a co-conspirator in terrorist operations.

00:22:57.320 He's raising a son who's just a terrorist.

00:23:01.800 I mean, that's not like following the same exact ideology, the same ideology again.

00:23:06.540 And what's interesting about here is not, there's a huge, massive point here to be made about Islamic extremism and the dangers we face. 0.93

00:23:16.040 The point with Linda Sarsour, however, is Linda Sarsour has been embraced by the mainstream left.

00:23:22.420 Has, is, the women's march was something that was universally praised by the left and the media.

00:23:29.060 And that's her baby.

00:23:30.980 That's her. 0.88

00:23:31.800 And she is the one saying, the mentor, my mentor is a person who is an unindicted co-conspirator in an attack on the World Trade Center.

00:23:41.360 But see, this doesn't matter.

00:23:42.860 And somehow that doesn't matter.

00:23:43.360 Wait, wait, wait.

00:23:43.800 This doesn't matter.

00:23:44.780 This doesn't matter.

00:23:45.920 We now have her connected to the father of the son who was training kids here in America to shoot children in school.

00:23:55.640 Okay, we, clear connection, and I'm sorry, but I don't, I don't buy that.

00:24:01.860 Oh, the, the, the son is just a fallen apple.

00:24:05.000 He fell way far from the tree.

00:24:07.420 Don't buy it.

00:24:09.400 Here, let me, let me teach you a little something about Linda Sarsour.

00:24:12.920 Okay.

00:24:14.900 Here's, here's a quote from her.

00:24:17.040 When I wasn't wearing a hijab, I was just some ordinary white girl from New York City.

00:24:22.020 But wearing a hijab made you know that I was a Muslim.

00:24:26.280 So I don't even know what that means.

00:24:28.160 Does that mean I'm white, but if I put the hijab on, I'm suddenly a person of color and, and oppressed.

00:24:35.040 I don't even know what that means.

00:24:37.120 She is the Obama White House designated, designated champion of change.

00:24:43.780 New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio sought out her endorsement.

00:24:47.500 Bernie Sanders used her as a surrogate in his presidential campaign.

00:24:52.620 Most recently, she is the lead organizer of the Women's March.

00:24:57.020 Also, the lead plaintiff in a lawsuit against President Trump's immigration order.

00:25:03.440 But who is she?

00:25:05.300 Well, she came out of nowhere about 2003.

00:25:07.700 She's a Palestinian-American community activist who served as the executive director of the Arab American Association of New York since 2005.

00:25:17.800 She's a board member of the Democratic, the Muslim Democratic Club of New York and a member of the Justice League.

00:25:27.600 Holy cow. 0.89

00:25:28.600 I didn't know.

00:25:29.980 She knows Wonder Woman.

00:25:31.560 I wonder if she's ever been in the plane.

00:25:33.980 Now, she claims to be a champion of Muslims, but in 2003, this is what she said about Saddam Hussein after he was captured.

00:25:45.440 I think he's done a lot of things that he shouldn't have done.

00:25:49.980 But I was hurt.

00:25:51.740 My Arab pride was hurt.

00:25:53.680 Palestinians are under so much oppression, and no other Arab country has ever helped them. 0.99

00:25:57.540 Okay, Linda, how many Muslims did Saddam Hussein kill?

00:26:05.420 How many Arabs?

00:26:07.040 How many Palestinians?

00:26:10.860 You don't excuse his murderous regime because he might be with you on a couple of other things.

00:26:20.000 She claims to be a champion of human rights.

00:26:25.920 However, she has boasted that she has family members and friends in the terror group Hamas.

00:26:32.380 In a 2004 article it appeared on the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism website, Sarsour acknowledged that a friend of hers, as well as her cousin, were both, Sarsour's cousin, were both serving long sentences, 99 years and 25 years, in Israeli jails because of their efforts to recruit jihadists to murder Israelis.

00:26:55.200 Moreover, she revealed that her brother-in-law was serving 12 years in Israeli prison because of his affiliation with Hamas.

00:27:05.180 So she's a champion of human rights.

00:27:08.480 She's added women's rights, of course, to her convenient activism. 1.00

00:27:13.020 She's one of the main co-founders of the Women's March.

00:27:17.020 So, you know, she loves women. 1.00

00:27:20.280 Have you ever heard of the name Ayaan Hirsi Ali?

00:27:23.360 Who is she, Stu?

00:27:26.200 Uh, relatively, I mean, certainly well known, I think, to conservatives.

00:27:30.840 Yes.

00:27:31.160 And people, she's, I would say, part of the ideological, intellectual dark web.

00:27:35.940 I would think so.

00:27:37.040 She is very outspoken and honest about what she's gone through.

00:27:43.060 She's the only person, I've interviewed presidents.

00:27:45.500 Yeah.

00:27:45.700 She's the only person I've ever interviewed that had a Secret Service agent stand at the camera lens right next to the main camera.

00:27:55.940 Never had that before.

00:27:57.360 Never seen that with anyone.

00:27:58.800 Her security is so tight because Muslims want to kill her because she was sold by her parents to somebody, I think, in Canada.

00:28:10.200 I can't remember exactly.

00:28:11.340 So she was, she was coming from the Middle East.

00:28:14.500 They had to make a stop somewhere in the Netherlands.

00:28:17.460 She got off the plane.

00:28:20.000 She immediately took off her hijab and she changed her name and disappeared. 0.94

00:28:24.700 Okay.

00:28:25.220 She lived in the Netherlands for a while and taught herself.

00:28:29.680 I mean, she pulled herself up.

00:28:32.240 She's really smart.

00:28:33.520 She's an amazing woman.

00:28:35.560 She was, she was subjected to female genital mutilation. 1.00

00:28:42.220 Okay.

00:28:43.020 She tells a horrifying story of what it's like to be a woman in radicalized Islam.

00:28:51.260 Here's what Linda Sarsour said about her. 0.89

00:28:53.280 I wish I could take her vagina away. 1.00

00:28:57.000 She doesn't deserve to be a woman. 1.00

00:29:00.860 This is the champion of women.

00:29:05.100 She also defends Saudi Arabia's treatment of women in November 2014.

00:29:10.160 In a tweet, she derided critics of Sharia law in Saudi Arabia for worrying about women driving.

00:29:18.740 The fact that religious custom in a country bars women from driving automobiles, it's much more significant that Saudi women receive 10 weeks of paid maternity leave, which puts us to shame. 0.97

00:29:34.860 You can't leave your house without an escort of a man.

00:29:41.300 But the maternity leave policy is solid. 0.86

00:29:44.180 Most recently, she has been accused of enabling sexual assault and body shaming while she was the executive director of the American Arab American Association, quoting one of the victims.

00:29:58.960 She oversaw an environment unsafe and abusive to women. 1.00

00:30:02.020 Now, this happened in the Me Too time.

00:30:05.580 This has happened in the last 18 months.

00:30:08.700 How come she hasn't been outed?

00:30:12.220 Witnesses have corroborated the story that a female staffer working for Sarsour was sexually assaulted by a man multiple times.

00:30:18.720 And Sarsour dismissed the allegations because the accused was, quote, a good Muslim and was always at the mosque, end quote.

00:30:27.480 Imagine saying that.

00:30:28.600 Oh, my God.

00:30:29.160 Well, he's always at church.

00:30:30.300 He's a good Catholic.

00:30:31.780 He's a good Christian.

00:30:32.740 He's always at church.

00:30:34.140 No one would accept that in the media.

00:30:36.960 She also said that there was no way any man would want to do such a thing to this victim because she was, quote, too fat, end quote. 1.00

00:30:46.680 The accuser claimed that Sarsour threatened legal and unprofessional damage or professional damage if any of this information ever came out.

00:30:56.500 Just wait until more people start to talk, she said.

00:31:01.120 Sarsour is no champion of women.

00:31:04.920 The accuser said she's an abuser of them.

00:31:09.660 Sarsour has also added Black Lives Matter to her list of causes because she's a friend of the African American.

00:31:15.560 Except in 2016 in Chicago, she said, and I quote, the sacrifice, the black Muslim slaves went through in this country is nothing compared to the Islamophobia today.

00:31:32.680 What?

00:31:35.800 But she's a friend of the African American as well. 0.96

00:31:39.020 Now, I just would like to point something out.

00:31:41.040 Do you know who went into the jungles?

00:31:46.000 Who went into the mainland of Africa and rounded people up?

00:31:50.800 Were they white people?

00:31:53.400 They were actually, for the most part, Muslims.

00:31:57.120 They were Muslims who felt they had a right through Islam to round up those infidels that were not Muslim or not Muslim enough and sold them to the white slave traders. 0.98

00:32:12.900 A little fact of history that has been left out, and so the sacrifice of black Muslim slaves is kind of hard to believe, seeing that Muslims wouldn't sell a fellow Muslim in if they were Muslim enough. 0.99

00:32:33.340 Nothing has changed.

00:32:35.460 Nothing has changed.

00:32:36.560 And if you think that this woman is any less dangerous than Alex Jones, this woman is not being ridiculed in public all the time.

00:32:51.680 This woman is not like Alex Jones that has no hands on any levers of power. 1.00

00:32:57.320 She does.

00:32:59.100 She's starting movements.

00:33:01.380 She's consulting with the DNC.

00:33:09.040 And she thinks she has a right to, you know, and this is not hate speech in any way, shape or form.

00:33:14.920 This is no big deal.

00:33:16.260 You know, she just thinks that some women that she deems should have their vaginas taken away from them because they don't deserve to be women. 1.00

00:33:28.140 By the way, if you just joined us, why are we talking about her?

00:33:31.380 Well, she's good pals with Dad, who was a co-conspirator, unindicted co-conspirator, and also a character witness for the Blind Sheik in 95.

00:33:46.240 And he also raised the guy that was training children to kill children here in America, a compound that has just been raided by the FBI.

00:33:58.540 Thank you, FBI.

00:34:00.200 All right.

00:34:03.420 Hiring people is a real challenge.

00:34:05.200 I mean, if you are the DNC, where do you go, Stu?

00:34:08.280 I mean, you know, you're looking for somebody that is, you know, not connected to the Blind Sheik. 1.00

00:34:14.600 You know, not friendly with the family.

00:34:17.140 Yeah.

00:34:17.960 Doesn't want to take people's vaginas away. 1.00

00:34:20.160 Where do you go?

00:34:20.820 That's got to be.

00:34:21.420 That's a pretty high cliff to climb.

00:34:23.620 Well, the phone book's almost empty after you take those things out.

00:34:26.120 I mean, there's almost no one left.

00:34:27.320 There's almost no one left.

00:34:29.260 So you'd think that you'd be able to find somebody pretty easily.

00:34:33.020 But no, may I recommend to the DNC and also to you that if you're looking for the right candidate, it's a pretty low bar.

00:34:44.160 But I think you can find them.

00:34:46.380 We're going to be talking later on in the program about the Chinese spy that worked for Dianne Feinstein.

00:34:54.120 For 20 years.

00:34:54.520 For 20 years.

00:34:56.520 Dianne should probably pull ZipRecruiter up. 1.00

00:34:58.860 Yeah.

00:34:59.040 You know, maybe sort through the Chinese spies before you make your hires.

00:35:02.440 Are you a Chinese spy?

00:35:04.200 Are you Chinese?

00:35:04.820 That should be.

00:35:05.520 I don't know.

00:35:05.800 I don't want any Chinese spies. 0.88

00:35:08.200 You can put that in with ZipRecruiter.

00:35:09.680 Okay.

00:35:10.340 ZipRecruiter will not only send it out, but then they send it to 100 job boards to post.

00:35:15.320 But then they know that there are people that aren't going to see that.

00:35:18.080 And so they scour the Internet.

00:35:20.320 They scour all of the resumes to see who's out there that really fit.

00:35:25.220 And they invite them to apply for your job.

00:35:27.500 That's why in the first day, most people get a qualified candidate within 24 hours.

00:35:32.080 It's ZipRecruiter.

00:35:32.980 Try it out for free now.

00:35:33.860 ZipRecruiter.com slash Beck.

00:35:35.800 That's ZipRecruiter.com slash Beck.

00:35:40.780 You know, we have got to reunite all of these children with their parents.

00:35:46.800 How dare you?

00:35:48.380 How dare you say we should have a DNA test or I want some sort of identification?

00:35:53.780 They're just families coming across the border.

00:35:56.880 Am I right?

00:35:57.760 Thank you for finally admitting that.

00:35:59.840 Yeah.

00:36:00.000 Unfortunately, Ramon Pedro entered the U.S.

00:36:04.880 this April through a port of entry in Texas, where he claimed that the girl he was accompanying that he was with was his daughter.

00:36:13.380 Oh, that's nice.

00:36:14.160 Nice father.

00:36:14.860 Daughter date.

00:36:15.500 Daddy daughter date.

00:36:16.300 Yep.

00:36:16.600 Just going.

00:36:17.180 I just with my dad.

00:36:18.160 Yeah.

00:36:18.380 He likes to take me across the border.

00:36:19.760 Unfortunately, when they went into the hospital for a TB screening, the staff found out that Pedro was being was was sexually assaulting this little girl.

00:36:33.100 Oh, in fact, no, that was not his daughter at all.

00:36:38.120 Oh, well, it's only one case.

00:36:43.920 Can we stop, please?

00:36:45.260 And look at reason.

00:36:46.640 We would never accept these kinds of rules for our children.

00:36:50.880 Why would we expect less for others?

00:36:53.820 Back.

00:36:54.660 Mercury.

00:36:58.860 Glenn Beck.

00:37:00.800 Get ready, because socialism is coming, or at least a version of socialism.

00:37:05.080 Let's call it campus socialism.

00:37:08.280 You know, the kind of socialism that you can enjoy while sipping your venti soy latte at Starbucks and posting anti-Trump memes on Reddit.

00:37:16.400 The latest example is Rashida Taib.

00:37:19.600 She won the Democratic primary in Michigan's 13th district, and she's going to run unimposed in the November general election.

00:37:27.000 Here she is speaking with CNN about her motivation for running for Congress.

00:37:30.960 You were actually at an event, a Trump speech, this was two years ago in Detroit, and you, along with several others, were forcibly removed from that speech for heckling.

00:37:40.700 I mean, you tell me, Rashida, how much of your decision to run was shaped by this president?

00:37:45.680 Look, I say this a lot to people, but it's true.

00:37:49.700 I think President Trump being there in office, getting elected, was kind of a bat signal for women across the country. 0.96

00:37:56.500 It was like, it's our time.

00:37:57.740 We have to march on, and we can't stand outside of the ring anymore.

00:38:01.600 We have to actually run for office, and we have to demand to have a seat at the table, because it's obvious that everything else is falling apart.

00:38:09.200 And to have someone like him in office that talks like him, I mean, our children have to watch that, you know, hear that language and watch that kind of behavior.

00:38:18.100 And so, absolutely, I think a lot of that drive does come from, you know, President Trump being in office.

00:38:27.300 And so here she is.

00:38:29.400 Here's a woman who is running as a Democrat because things are falling apart, and it's Donald Trump's fault.

00:38:35.100 And she's speaking to us from the great city of Detroit.

00:38:39.120 So, first thing you should do is check out the video.

00:38:42.120 It is not the kind of unhinged behavior you want from an elected official, at least not one for me.

00:38:47.220 She was one of 14 protesters ejected from a luncheon for heckling.

00:38:52.700 You have to see it, because she didn't go without a fight.

00:38:55.580 Security literally had to drag her out backwards as she was screaming and wagging her finger. 1.00

00:38:59.800 Now, in an interview with Detroit Free Press after the incident, she said, we need to be heard.

00:39:06.220 You cannot stay silent.

00:39:07.900 You know, he doesn't love Detroit.

00:39:10.080 He doesn't love no one who isn't Donald Trump.

00:39:13.720 Help me out with that sentence, please.

00:39:15.080 He doesn't love.

00:39:16.580 So he does love people who aren't Donald Trump.

00:39:19.880 He doesn't love no one.

00:39:21.740 So he does love someone.

00:39:23.360 Yeah, he doesn't love no one who isn't Donald Trump.

00:39:25.860 Okay.

00:39:26.460 So ridiculous statement.

00:39:28.060 And, you know, it's easy to shrug off.

00:39:30.260 If the entire argument, you know, her entire argument, our entire argument is that that he's a monster that doesn't love Detroit.

00:39:41.560 And that allowed her to beat five Democrats. 0.97

00:39:44.560 The media has celebrated this so-called rise of women against Trump. 0.77

00:39:49.580 They've rejoiced that she will be the first Muslim member of Congress.

00:39:53.680 They love the fact that she's the daughter of Palestinian immigrants.

00:39:57.000 She won't be the first, right?

00:39:58.360 Keith Ellison.

00:39:59.980 First Muslim woman.

00:40:00.920 First Muslim woman.

00:40:02.100 Got it.

00:40:02.560 All of these things are just, I mean, this is a feast for them.

00:40:06.940 The very thought that they can check so many of the virtue points floods them with elation.

00:40:13.340 So let's go back to the idea.

00:40:15.100 One of her prime objectives is to impeach President Trump. 0.94

00:40:18.480 Here's what she said.

00:40:19.640 Quote, she doesn't cite any of the grounds for impeachment because she believes, and I quote, Donald Trump has committed a number of crimes that will come to light when we start the impeachment hearings.

00:40:36.100 I think that's the inquisition.

00:40:40.760 We could spend a week on pointing out the hypocrisy in this statement, but perhaps it's better just to keep it short.

00:40:48.680 It's time for all of us to get our houses in order or else tantrums like these are going to keep happening and happening.

00:40:55.980 And we are going to send more and more really angry people to Washington.

00:40:59.940 And that's not a good thing because angry people, they make less and less sense the more angry they become.

00:41:14.540 It's Thursday, August 9th.

00:41:17.080 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:41:19.120 I'm going to take phone calls tonight at five o'clock on the TV show.

00:41:23.160 Just a half hour of just you and me.

00:41:26.340 Voice your opinion and tell me where I've got it right.

00:41:29.200 Tell me where I've got it wrong.

00:41:30.260 Whatever you want to talk about.

00:41:31.160 The number is 888-727-BECK.

00:41:34.080 You can call now for the radio show or 5 p.m.

00:41:37.100 Eastern.

00:41:37.600 I would suggest that you call a few minutes earlier and get lined up for the show.

00:41:42.720 Starts at 5 p.m.

00:41:43.780 Eastern, only on the Blaze TV.

00:41:45.520 All right.

00:41:46.440 Let me go to Dan in Georgia.

00:41:48.160 Hello, Dan.

00:41:49.660 Hey, Glenn.

00:41:50.300 How are you doing?

00:41:50.860 Good, man.

00:41:51.180 How are you?

00:41:52.360 I'm doing good, but I'm extremely frustrated.

00:41:54.540 Oh, boy.

00:41:55.140 I think I have a bone to pick with you guys.

00:41:57.820 I want to give you an opportunity to clear it up.

00:41:59.920 All right.

00:42:00.420 All right.

00:42:01.060 So you're not outraged, but you could be outraged.

00:42:04.360 I am outraged.

00:42:05.200 Oh, you're outraged.

00:42:05.680 I'm not outraged with you.

00:42:07.140 Okay, but you're outraged with me.

00:42:08.580 I do have a bone to pick with you.

00:42:09.580 All right.

00:42:09.800 No, I'm not outraged with you.

00:42:12.100 I might be outraged with Stu.

00:42:14.220 All right.

00:42:14.760 A lot of people feel that way.

00:42:16.540 He is such a...

00:42:17.600 I'm a jerk.

00:42:18.380 He's a ticking timer.

00:42:19.580 Oh, he's Stu.

00:42:20.400 Right.

00:42:20.960 All right.

00:42:21.480 So go ahead, Dan.

00:42:22.080 Jeff, he's in jail.

00:42:22.800 Okay, so you just played a clip from the AP, or not a clip, but you read the title from

00:42:28.300 an AP presser, where they completely omitted facts, whether they did that intentionally or

00:42:33.680 not intentionally.

00:42:35.100 You know, who knows?

00:42:36.140 Okay, hang on just a second.

00:42:37.660 No, they...

00:42:38.320 I will...

00:42:39.380 I am willing to speculate that they did that intentionally, and I don't have it sitting

00:42:45.540 in front of me, but it was an AP story about the arrest of this guy that had a compound,

00:42:54.200 and he was training children to kill children in school shootings.

00:42:57.500 They never mentioned that he was Islamic.

00:43:00.400 They never mentioned that this was Islamic extremist compound.

00:43:04.960 They left all of that out.

00:43:07.720 Right, exactly.

00:43:08.640 Now, on a side note, I don't want to get sidetracked, but your top of the hour brief that you

00:43:15.620 just had, the girl that gave the headline, also admitted all those facts, except one quick

00:43:20.840 statement had ties to Islamic terror camp in the past.

00:43:26.820 I think there was one small little thing in there, but never mentioned his background,

00:43:31.620 and just so you know that, but that's not my...

00:43:33.380 Okay, well, I will check with the newsroom.

00:43:35.000 I don't know why they would do that.

00:43:36.080 But again, so they admitted it, omitted it, except when they said it?

00:43:39.380 Well, but...

00:43:40.240 They only said one little spot about the compound having ties in the past, but they didn't talk

00:43:45.560 about the seriousness of it today like you are.

00:43:48.140 Yes, okay.

00:43:48.860 You brought a whole new light to it today that nobody knew about until they listened to your

00:43:53.440 show.

00:43:53.760 That's my job.

00:43:54.560 So I thank you for that.

00:43:56.540 Okay.

00:43:56.660 I'm just letting you know your top of the hour presser missed that part.

00:43:59.120 And I appreciate that.

00:44:00.080 We'll check into it.

00:44:01.740 Donald Trump sits out there on an island by himself, and this is what I'm really paid

00:44:05.360 about, and he's telling us how the fake news media is the number one enemy of the American

00:44:10.860 people.

00:44:11.720 And if we cannot get on board and agree with that statement right now more than ever to

00:44:16.500 know that the fake news omitting facts consistently, omitting facts and making up stories is the

00:44:23.760 reason why these compounds like this can't exist, that is the number one threat to America. 0.59

00:44:29.520 When you have a 15-year-old child with an AR-15 lining up and going to a school to mow down

00:44:36.480 his peers, that's an issue.

00:44:39.280 That is a threat.

00:44:40.620 And they are weaponizing the First Amendment to use in a war against the American people.

00:44:46.280 And we are not doing anything about it.

00:44:48.740 We laugh about it.

00:44:49.780 We joke about it.

00:44:50.560 No, no, no.

00:44:51.320 I started a media company here.

00:44:53.680 We started a media company.

00:44:54.940 We are doing things about it.

00:44:56.560 We are educating right now.

00:44:59.520 Here's, I think, what you're looking for from me.

00:45:05.400 I think you're trying to say, why won't I say that the media is an enemy of the people?

00:45:11.400 No.

00:45:12.080 No.

00:45:13.140 You'll never say that.

00:45:14.200 And I don't believe the media is the enemy of the people, but I believe the fake news

00:45:18.660 media is the enemy of the American people.

00:45:21.120 Define that for me.

00:45:22.020 Define that for me.

00:45:23.940 News that is fake.

00:45:25.580 Fake news.

00:45:26.620 Just that.

00:45:27.100 Exactly that.

00:45:27.840 Define fake news.

00:45:29.580 Define fake news for me.

00:45:31.180 I mean, if you're saying that...

00:45:33.200 Leading headlines.

00:45:34.900 Leading headlines.

00:45:35.580 Yeah, but who is that?

00:45:37.780 Because by saying that, that means different things to different people.

00:45:41.500 If I say, you know, fake news, the enemy of the people, there's a lot of people that

00:45:46.280 are on the left that will say, yeah, I know.

00:45:48.620 That's why we got to shut Fox down.

00:45:50.660 And you'd say that on the right, and they'll say, that's why we need to shut CNN down.

00:45:54.440 You have to be more specific than that.

00:45:57.640 You're absolutely right.

00:45:58.940 And you have the platform to do that.

00:46:01.140 And that's where I have a bone, is I don't know where you stand in support when Donald

00:46:07.180 Trump says those statements.

00:46:08.640 I do not support the statement that the press is the enemy of the people.

00:46:15.280 I understand what he's saying when he says fake news is the enemy of American people.

00:46:22.700 But I would state it as apathy, arrogance, and self-imposed ignorance is the enemy of

00:46:31.180 the American people.

00:46:32.340 There has never been a time in history, ever, where you have the ability to find the truth,

00:46:39.220 where it is so easy, it is in your pocket.

00:46:43.200 There used to be a time when I've done radio now for 40 years, and there used to be a time

00:46:47.800 when I didn't know a fact.

00:46:48.960 I'd have to call the research department at the library, and I would say, can you look

00:46:53.860 this up for me?

00:46:55.100 And they'd say, okay, sure.

00:46:56.540 Depending on the question, it could take days to get the answer.

00:47:00.560 Unless you worked at a giant newspaper or giant network or television station that had tons

00:47:07.060 of researchers, you couldn't find this information.

00:47:10.780 Dan, you can find the truth right now.

00:47:12.920 It's not just that people will take the AP story, which I showed you, had nothing to

00:47:20.300 do with Islam, had nothing to do with the extremists.

00:47:23.880 These guys are extremist Muslims. 1.00

00:47:27.060 They left it entirely out.

00:47:30.120 What happened?

00:47:31.260 People retweeted and commented, NRA.

00:47:35.420 Thanks, Dana Lash.

00:47:37.040 Oh, look, another NRA lover.

00:47:39.060 Remember, okay, who's doing the false media?

00:47:43.840 The AP left out critical information.

00:47:48.080 That's bad, but that's not fake news.

00:47:50.760 But people spreading it with the comment above it saying, here's another NRA member.

00:47:59.000 That's fake news.

00:48:00.980 So who do I go to?

00:48:02.380 I think, too, we have to look at this and his comments through that construct of the

00:48:09.180 Selena Zito construct of seriously and not literally.

00:48:12.800 Like, if I take Trump's point literally that the press is the biggest, the fake news media

00:48:19.000 is the biggest foe or enemy of the American people, that's, to me, a patently ridiculous

00:48:24.760 statement.

00:48:25.300 To the point of, when you talk about the thing that we're mad at them not covering, Islamic

00:48:30.980 extremism, is a much bigger threat to the American society than anything the media could

00:48:36.060 ever do.

00:48:36.560 Yeah, but I understand.

00:48:37.480 However, I understand when you take it seriously, what he's saying is the media is really bad

00:48:42.240 at times.

00:48:43.040 Yes.

00:48:43.300 And they do, some of them do really bad things and they report on things falsely.

00:48:47.400 Not all of his examples are accurate, but some of them are.

00:48:50.320 You know, like, if you take it seriously, I, not literally, but seriously, the university

00:48:57.980 system is the biggest enemy to the republic.

00:49:02.220 It is.

00:49:03.500 It just is.

00:49:04.980 The university system.

00:49:06.520 See, I mean, I wouldn't agree with that either.

00:49:08.860 Oh, literally, I wouldn't agree.

00:49:10.440 No, I didn't say literally.

00:49:12.160 Seriously.

00:49:12.600 It is a big problem.

00:49:14.200 Can you name a bigger one?

00:49:15.740 It's churning out people who know nothing.

00:49:18.360 Right.

00:49:18.540 But I mean, you know, China and Russia are bigger threats to the American people than 1.00

00:49:24.780 the university system.

00:49:25.780 We will, I believe.

00:49:26.920 Well, it doesn't matter.

00:49:27.880 But again, you can argue that.

00:49:30.060 Right.

00:49:30.180 That's the point.

00:49:30.700 Is it a problem?

00:49:31.600 Yes.

00:49:31.860 We can agree that it's a problem.

00:49:33.080 The same thing with Trump, right?

00:49:34.240 Like, I can totally agree that there are massive problems with the media.

00:49:37.600 You know, we have a story coming up from Vox, which, you know, Ezra Klein, who is making

00:49:43.500 a point that I can't believe he's trying to make.

00:49:46.680 Right.

00:49:46.920 However, Vox is also the source of going down the cost of the Democratic Socialist programs

00:49:54.320 and pegging it at two hundred and eighteen trillion dollars.

00:49:57.840 Is Vox fake news?

00:49:59.980 Sometimes they say things I think are completely false.

00:50:02.820 Sometimes they do really good work.

00:50:04.700 So it's hard to.

00:50:06.120 Did you read the end of my book yet?

00:50:08.980 Yes.

00:50:09.280 Okay.

00:50:09.760 Did you see the part where I'm talking about that thing on how do you decide what's fake

00:50:14.480 and what's not?

00:50:15.240 Yeah.

00:50:15.880 And sources.

00:50:17.420 It's an endless for the average person and almost almost too steep to climb.

00:50:22.300 But it's something that needs to be done.

00:50:24.220 But when you're looking at sources, does that source?

00:50:29.800 Occasionally piss you off.

00:50:32.020 If it doesn't occasionally piss you off, they are only placating you.

00:50:37.700 They are only they're only serving what they know you want to consume.

00:50:43.060 Right.

00:50:43.560 You should get pissed off occasionally.

00:50:44.760 In our lifetime, who is known as one of the best journalists ever?

00:50:51.780 I think they even have an award named after him in our lifetime.

00:50:55.560 I mean, Tim Russert.

00:50:56.800 Oh, yeah.

00:50:57.100 Russert always gets the.

00:50:58.020 Why did you like Tim Russert?

00:50:59.440 He pissed off both sides.

00:51:00.400 Yes.

00:51:00.840 He would go after one side and then he would go after the other side just as hard every

00:51:07.200 single episode.

00:51:09.040 If somebody is not pissing you off, they're not doing their job.

00:51:14.460 We're doing, what, 20 hours a week of this stuff between TV and radio and not to mention

00:51:19.880 all the other things.

00:51:21.320 If you don't come to a show like this and listen for a long period of time and not get

00:51:27.500 challenged in what you believe, what's the point of coming here?

00:51:31.140 I mean, we could sit here.

00:51:32.520 We can do a half hour saying everything that we think you agree with and just repeat it

00:51:37.280 if that's what you want.

00:51:38.400 I don't think that's what people want.

00:51:39.500 No, it's not.

00:51:39.860 People want to be.

00:51:40.480 I know this audience, at least.

00:51:41.760 I think there are people out there that just want that.

00:51:43.700 This audience, over a decade, we've seen this constantly.

00:51:49.120 They want to be challenged.

00:51:50.160 They want to be pushed.

00:51:51.100 They want to be so solid in their principles that when someone comes up to them and makes

00:51:58.100 a point they had never heard before, they want to be able to have a foundation in that

00:52:03.720 topic.

00:52:04.760 They want to know why they believe what they believe.

00:52:07.720 They don't want to just spout some tweet they heard some guy say.

00:52:10.700 This is not a 140-character show.

00:52:13.820 And here's the thing.

00:52:15.680 There are sins of commission and sins of omission.

00:52:22.220 And I take them seriously on both sides.

00:52:26.820 The sins of commission, Russia. 0.98

00:52:29.960 People intentionally lying.

00:52:33.040 Sins of omission, AP.

00:52:35.880 Leaving out all of the Muslim extremist stuff.

00:52:39.260 That dramatically changes the story.

00:52:42.180 That is a sin of omission.

00:52:45.000 And it's just as bad.

00:52:46.700 It's just as bad.

00:52:48.380 So both of those.

00:52:50.920 But words matter.

00:52:54.060 Words do matter.

00:52:55.320 And if you want to try to make friends and influence people, you have to be careful today

00:53:04.900 with your words.

00:53:05.960 And I'm not talking about being PC.

00:53:08.020 I'm saying, let's say what we mean and mean what we say.

00:53:12.180 We are not at war with the press.

00:53:15.280 We are now at war.

00:53:17.440 No, we can't even say war.

00:53:18.740 We are now struggling to find how to find the truth.

00:53:25.300 Because the truth does exist.

00:53:27.400 Maybe not the complete truth.

00:53:29.960 But we need to know what the truth is.

00:53:32.540 What we're looking for.

00:53:34.580 When it's incomplete.

00:53:36.420 For instance, the Donald Trump thing.

00:53:38.820 Any real journalist would say, okay, well, when you have something, let me know.

00:53:44.060 But they don't have anything.

00:53:45.140 So they're giving opinion on speculation on what they could have.

00:53:50.560 Well, that's not news.

00:53:52.180 That's not news.

00:53:53.740 That's speculation.

00:53:55.620 And that's different.

00:53:56.800 And we've confused the two of those.

00:53:59.340 The media has done that.

00:54:02.040 Well, that's a problem.

00:54:04.320 And that relies on you.

00:54:07.280 Nobody else.

00:54:08.500 You.

00:54:09.600 To do your own homework.

00:54:15.140 All right.

00:54:15.880 I want to tell you about Goldline.

00:54:17.620 They've got a new.

00:54:20.020 They've got a new.

00:54:21.120 I don't know.

00:54:21.640 What would you call this?

00:54:22.480 Card.

00:54:23.420 It's the Maple Flex.

00:54:25.500 And it looks like a credit card.

00:54:27.960 I think the size of a credit card.

00:54:29.100 Yeah.

00:54:29.740 And it's solid silver.

00:54:32.300 It's made of four pure silver Maple Flex.

00:54:38.560 Coins?

00:54:39.080 Bars? 0.98

00:54:39.520 What are they?

00:54:40.060 I always think of it like a Carmelo bar.

00:54:42.020 Remember Carmelo?

00:54:43.120 Yeah.

00:54:43.380 Where you could kind of just like break off the individual pieces of chocolate and caramel.

00:54:47.360 Which now I really want.

00:54:48.660 Yeah.

00:54:48.840 Well, this one.

00:54:49.300 If you look at this.

00:54:50.400 These are the smallest pieces of silver.

00:54:52.140 It's kind of like a Kit Kat.

00:54:53.380 Yeah.

00:54:53.860 You break it off.

00:54:55.160 It's a Kit Kat that will give you a lot more than just one taste of chocolate.

00:55:00.540 It's 19 individual bars that make up two ounces of silver.

00:55:05.180 And it's an innovative design.

00:55:07.260 We actually asked them to the Canadian Mint to make these.

00:55:11.460 This is all currency.

00:55:13.080 It's, you know, it's all, it's made for barter, but it is legitimate, you know, printed by

00:55:19.260 the Canadian Mint currency.

00:55:21.000 Real silver.

00:55:22.040 And you just kind of snap it apart and then you have coins, if you will.

00:55:27.280 And the thought is that they're all silver.

00:55:28.500 If things really hit the fan, you have something that you can easily break up for barter or

00:55:32.040 whatever you might need.

00:55:32.760 Plus, it's really cool.

00:55:33.640 Yeah.

00:55:33.820 It is really cool.

00:55:35.500 It can be put into your IRA or whatever.

00:55:37.720 But if things really hit the fan, if we see kind of, you know, any kind of real inflation,

00:55:43.260 this is going to be worthwhile at 10, 120 ounce bars, five, 110 ounce bars, four, one quarter

00:55:49.880 ounce bars, all pure silver guaranteed for its weight and purity by the Royal Canadian

00:55:54.580 Mint.

00:55:54.900 It is really made for investment and also for barter should things really go crazy.

00:55:59.780 But don't worry about that.

00:56:01.000 What could happen in today's world?

00:56:03.800 It's the Maple Flex Bar available now at Goldline.

00:56:06.380 Call them.

00:56:06.820 They're waiting for your call.

00:56:07.560 Now, get the information 1-866-GOLDLINE, 1-866-GOLDLINE or goldline.com.

00:56:16.120 So my new book, Addicted to Outrage, comes out in September.

00:56:21.940 And I want you to I want you to pick it up because it is it will it will show you a few

00:56:28.580 things that I think we're missing on being able to argue to win.

00:56:32.920 And it makes a strong case for not only for you, but your friends that may not be as in

00:56:40.760 touch on what's happening to us, why it's happening and why we have to stop our addiction

00:56:48.720 to outrage and then gives you some tips on on how to do that.

00:56:52.760 I'm going to go into that just real quick.

00:56:54.760 Next, bought some Powerball tickets the other day, turned them in four dollars.

00:57:00.240 I won.

00:57:00.780 Yeah, I know.

00:57:01.880 I know.

00:57:02.320 I'm thinking about retiring.

00:57:03.780 Problem is I did spend 20 on the tickets to win the four.

00:57:07.220 And I'm not sure financially how that works out in the end, but I'm pretty sure it's a

00:57:10.340 good investment.

00:57:11.440 I'm not maybe the best investment guy in the universe, but I do know how to pick a good

00:57:15.760 real estate agent.

00:57:16.700 That's because I know people who know how to do it.

00:57:19.760 You know, it's not me.

00:57:21.000 I just go to realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:57:24.180 realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:57:25.500 This is a website you can go to that will go through all the agents in your area, find the

00:57:30.500 best ones, see who's had the most success, see who has the best consistent reviews and

00:57:36.140 character, see who knows the business better than anybody.

00:57:39.200 And then you get to pick that person.

00:57:41.840 You don't have to worry about sifting through a bunch of really terrible agents.

00:57:45.760 You get the best at the beginning.

00:57:47.680 If you need to sell your house fast and for the most money, or if you're looking to buy,

00:57:50.960 go to realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:57:53.020 It's realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:57:57.440 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:57:59.820 So I was reading a book last night.

00:58:01.780 It's called Addicted to Outrage by Glenn Beck.

00:58:05.040 Wow, that's good.

00:58:05.620 Yeah.

00:58:06.120 Comes out in September.

00:58:07.160 I got an early copy though.

00:58:08.520 Yeah.

00:58:08.760 Because I'm lucky.

00:58:09.860 But one of the parts you were talking about, and I think this ties into what you were discussing

00:58:13.680 last half hour, is the science behind the way you talk to people about something you

00:58:20.200 might disagree with, disagree upon, including the way that, you know, if you are, let's

00:58:27.000 say to, you know, talk about something that you made a mistake on, it opens them up to

00:58:32.580 admit that they made a mistake on something.

00:58:34.380 So here's what that actual science is.

00:58:35.820 And this is why words matter.

00:58:37.520 And we have to change our approach.

00:58:39.520 We have to change our approach.

00:58:40.700 And you cannot be an absolutist because absolutists make no impact, no impact.

00:58:48.320 But if you start a conversation with somebody and you're at a disagreeing, you're, you're,

00:58:53.020 you know, arguing about something, find something that you were wrong about and say, look, I just

00:58:59.200 want you to know, hang on.

00:59:00.900 I'm not, I'm, I'm not that guy.

00:59:03.440 I can tell you that I used to believe this.

00:59:06.280 I used to say this and I was wrong about that.

00:59:08.760 So I'm not that guy.

00:59:12.380 Now, here's what I'm saying.

00:59:14.500 Researchers found that I can't remember the exact number, but it is a high percentage.

00:59:19.160 You go from zero impact to being able to influence somebody's mind between 60 and 90 percent to

00:59:28.800 where they're all of a sudden they drop the shield and they go, oh, OK, all right.

00:59:33.460 So it's important that we change our language and we change our approach.

00:59:38.800 Otherwise, we're just going to be screaming over top of each other.

00:59:42.340 That's why when when Trump says it's the enemy of the people, I want to give you a story, hopefully

00:59:47.460 next hour from Ezra Klein.

00:59:49.380 It's the same argument.

00:59:51.960 It's the same argument.

00:59:53.460 He is making an argument that, you know, kill white people doesn't actually mean kill white

01:00:00.640 people to the people on the left.

01:00:02.480 They understand what that means.

01:00:03.860 Kill the hierarchy and doesn't actually mean kill.

01:00:06.680 It means that the hierarchy is oppressive and should be changed.

01:00:09.880 OK, well, that's not what you said when you said kill white people.

01:00:13.020 When you say enemy of the press, that means something to you.

01:00:16.880 And it may mean something entirely different to the left.

01:00:22.100 And by by not being careful with your words, you immediately put shields up and nobody's

01:00:29.380 going to listen.

01:00:30.380 That's why it's really important to be careful, because there are really important issues.

01:00:37.420 We are under attack from all sides.

01:00:41.760 In fact, let me bring Ben Weingarten in.

01:00:44.080 Ben, he's a podcast host, Big Ideas with Ben Weingarten.

01:00:50.320 He started his own media company.

01:00:52.540 He's, I think, from the first graduating class of the Blaze and also with a Federalist.

01:01:00.300 Ben, welcome to the program.

01:01:03.140 Glenn, thanks so much for having me on.

01:01:04.860 So I wanted to talk to you about this article that you wrote about Dianne Feinstein, because

01:01:09.620 this is something that is really being buried.

01:01:11.720 And I think this is a really big deal.

01:01:15.680 She is in trouble now because apparently there was a spy in her office for about 20 years,

01:01:23.080 a Chinese spy.

01:01:24.620 Can you first give me any details that we have for sure on that?

01:01:28.480 Yeah, and of course, the media accounts differ from what she tweeted out and a couple basically

01:01:35.980 trying to obfuscate and deflect from the story.

01:01:39.400 But this employee, the person who matches all the descriptions that we've seen in the media,

01:01:45.140 worked for her for 20 years, was listed most recently as an office director out in her California

01:01:52.560 office, he was her driver, listed as her gopher for a bunch of assignments, and also her liaison

01:01:59.580 to the Asian community, where, of course, naturally, he would have coordinated and communicated

01:02:05.740 with Chinese authorities, among others.

01:02:09.640 And what we've been told by her and the media is that about five years ago, she found out that this

01:02:16.520 employee through the FBI was being investigated as a potential recruit of essentially China's KGB

01:02:25.200 or FSB, their Ministry of State Security.

01:02:28.260 And she says that she was mortified and immediately he was let go or fired.

01:02:33.960 It's not exactly entirely clear.

01:02:35.760 She said, she said, I learned the facts and made sure the employee left my office immediately.

01:02:40.560 Right, right.

01:02:43.720 And, of course, based upon our knowledge and given that this person, it appears, is operating

01:02:49.440 freely right now, working for a, quote unquote, social justice foundation out in California,

01:02:55.260 which appears to be actually doing a campaign that Chinese propagandists love to propagate,

01:03:02.360 an anti-Japanese one regarding comfort women.

01:03:05.620 It seems like he was never prosecuted, never paid any sort of price.

01:03:10.640 He was just let go and continues to operate freely.

01:03:14.180 Okay, so can I, I mean, I know this is not the crux of the story here, but can you give

01:03:19.340 me the comfort women's story?

01:03:22.120 What, who cares about, I mean, what is the social justice cause on that one?

01:03:28.420 Well, the cover for the story, and there's a great piece in a publication called Asia Times,

01:03:34.520 which talks about how the Chinese, of course, are engaged in all sorts of propaganda campaigns,

01:03:42.440 information warfare, which we care about so much when it comes to the Russians, but have

01:03:46.580 ignored when it comes to the Chinese, who are probably a far greater threat to us. 0.83

01:03:52.740 Essentially, they've engaged in a campaign to focus on Japan's human rights violations 0.72

01:03:57.700 during World War II, so-called comfort women, essentially taking female prisoners and pimping 1.00

01:04:05.720 them out, effectively.

01:04:06.980 The Japanese were, the Japanese, in some cases, were worse than the Germans. 0.95

01:04:11.260 I mean, they were awful, just awful.

01:04:14.420 But what's the point?

01:04:16.280 So, the Chinese like to propagate this story and basically try to cause a backlash against 1.00

01:04:22.220 the Japanese, force them to recognize this and repent, et cetera, as a means of deflecting 0.99

01:04:27.900 from China's modern-day human rights.

01:04:30.380 Okay, okay, okay.

01:04:31.280 So, they have a propaganda effort to hurt the Japanese and make themselves look better. 0.79

01:04:35.280 Okay, but he works with the Justice Foundation, the apparent spy who was let go, that deals

01:04:41.260 with putting forth that message.

01:04:42.880 So, does anybody care that he was just let go?

01:04:47.560 Why did the FBI say they had a spy, and then she dismissed him, and then they just let him

01:04:51.960 go?

01:04:53.680 Well, they claim that what he was passing along to the Chinese Ministry of State Security was

01:05:00.040 political intelligence, quote-unquote.

01:05:02.160 So, not anything that would have ever threatened national security, and that he never accessed

01:05:08.420 sensitive information, et cetera.

01:05:10.120 But that really doesn't pass muster when you consider he's in her office for 20 years.

01:05:16.020 And let's put Dianne Feinstein's seniority into perspective here.

01:05:20.520 This was someone who was the chairwoman of the Senate Select Intelligence Committee.

01:05:24.920 So, a committee in the Senate that's dealing with the most sensitive, highly classified,

01:05:29.840 top-secret kind of information.

01:05:31.840 So, imagine someone with the access, even if he was just a driver, which I really don't

01:05:36.320 believe, based upon what we've discovered, even if he was just a driver, while she's

01:05:41.120 having calls about very sensitive issues, or potentially there are listening devices

01:05:46.140 within the automobiles in which she was driven around in her office.

01:05:49.460 I mean, you're talking about someone of a very high rank, who had a relationship with

01:05:55.080 the Chinese for 40 years, in addition to this one person in her office.

01:05:59.160 And you're telling me that potentially there couldn't have been great exposure to sensitive

01:06:04.180 information?

01:06:05.260 And then the crux of this story is that she has this person in her office, the media is

01:06:10.320 minimizing the story, but the entire missed part of it is that she's had connections to

01:06:15.740 the highest levels of the Chinese Communist Party for 40 years.

01:06:19.600 Ever since we opened up diplomatic relations with China, Dianne Feinstein has had direct

01:06:24.920 ties to them.

01:06:26.040 And while she's taken a very pro-Chinese line in terms of expanding trade, dovishness when

01:06:32.040 it comes to the military, and then apologizing for China's human rights violations, and it's

01:06:37.460 all right there in this article laid out, while all that was happening, her husband's investment

01:06:42.540 portfolio was swelling with China-related investments that clearly, directly, and at the very

01:06:49.240 least, indirectly benefited from the policies she was supporting. 0.57

01:06:53.620 So that's a massive story that's being completely missed and dismissed by this idea that there

01:06:59.200 was one guy, low-ranking, in her office, who was let go immediately, and there was no national

01:07:04.920 security ramification to it.

01:07:06.620 So Ben, here's the problem.

01:07:08.140 You know, we were just talking about fake news, and you know, that the press is the enemy of

01:07:13.660 the people, which, you know, ignorance and apathy is the real enemy to the republic.

01:07:20.500 We all have a responsibility.

01:07:22.820 The press leaves things out.

01:07:24.820 They drop stories.

01:07:28.100 They underplay stories and overplay others for their own agenda.

01:07:32.260 We all know that.

01:07:34.680 What do you suggest?

01:07:36.560 Because the media, we can't change the media.

01:07:38.520 What do you suggest is done with, I mean, we have two stories today, yours, the one that

01:07:44.360 you're talking about here.

01:07:45.680 We also have the story where they were, you know, hey, look, this guy was just out in the,

01:07:49.760 you know, the boonies, and he just made a compound.

01:07:52.340 He brought some kids, and he was a religious zealot.

01:07:54.160 No, he was an Islamic extremist.

01:07:56.820 This was an Islamic terror camp here in the United States. 0.97

01:08:00.600 And there's a link to Linda Sarsour.

01:08:04.800 That's not being covered.

01:08:06.140 That's not being covered.

01:08:06.920 So what do we do, Ben?

01:08:10.080 Yeah, well, in this case, I think you have to look to the silent majority.

01:08:14.160 And if there is a big enough backlash in the public, even if, quote unquote, mainstream

01:08:19.680 sources, and by the way, I mean, I consider mainstream sources basically the communications

01:08:24.380 arm of the Democratic Party.

01:08:25.880 So you have to assume that they're going to minimize and ignore any story that doesn't

01:08:31.300 serve a narrative that they care about.

01:08:32.840 And in this case, I think in their minds, they hate this narrative because it's contrasting

01:08:38.040 Dianne Feinstein and China versus Donald Trump and Russia.

01:08:41.760 And here you have an actual spy and actual policies that were pro-China, an actual conflict of

01:08:47.300 interest on the business side.

01:08:48.660 And they don't want to make that contrast with Trump.

01:08:51.080 But I actually think that the political part of this is far secondary to the national security

01:08:56.980 implications and also the idea that a power like China would try to go after our government

01:09:04.080 and cultivate a relationship for 40 years with Dianne Feinstein.

01:09:07.240 And I have to imagine all sorts of other politicians because they're very strategic with this stuff.

01:09:12.780 And let's put it in even bigger context.

01:09:15.880 China conducted that Office of Personnel Management hack where they stole the information on well 0.69

01:09:21.400 over 20 million government employees and applicants to be in government.

01:09:25.480 Information that is the most compromising information possible.

01:09:29.840 The profile the government takes to make sure no foreign power, if they find out about this

01:09:33.800 stuff, can compromise you and go after you and your family.

01:09:38.260 China also destroyed our informant network on their mainland, killed our CIA operations there.

01:09:44.600 So put Feinstein in that broader context.

01:09:47.960 And I think there needs to be an outrage and a call for holding the other side up to account, 1.00

01:09:53.260 which is if we really care about foreign meddling, well, China is a far more dangerous threat than

01:09:59.560 Russia.

01:09:59.860 But let's explore foreign meddling from all powers, whether it's China, Russia, Pakistan,

01:10:06.160 Iran, North Korea.

01:10:08.020 And let's hold all of our politicians to account.

01:10:10.300 And I do think if there is a big enough outrage, politicians don't like outrage.

01:10:14.500 So the only way this becomes a story is if there is public pressure.

01:10:18.200 And that requires us communicating around, unfortunately, a media that is totally in the tank and doesn't

01:10:24.720 want to deal with these stories.

01:10:25.860 And I think ultimately what you'll see if this story continues to build and as people to continue

01:10:31.280 to dig on this is that Feinstein will be called to account.

01:10:34.900 But I think you're going to see other people in government close rank around her.

01:10:38.600 And that makes it an even bigger scandal, potentially.

01:10:41.300 I think, Ben, you're you're exactly right.

01:10:43.120 It doesn't stop with her and it doesn't stop with the Democratic Party.

01:10:46.360 I mean, both parties are very dirty from foreign money.

01:10:51.160 And, you know, you didn't you didn't do just one person for 40 years and leave it at that

01:10:57.600 or one side.

01:10:58.880 You've got to make bets on on several fronts.

01:11:16.920 to read it.

01:11:17.320 It's a in-depth read and it's there's a lot of information to take a lot of information,

01:11:21.360 a lot of questions it causes you to ask.

01:11:25.220 And we don't yet have all the answers.

01:11:27.740 Simply safe home security.

01:11:29.580 Great security system.

01:11:31.020 Fantastic protection.

01:11:32.440 Very easy to use.

01:11:33.540 And that's why they have just been they've just become a billion dollar company, which

01:11:38.680 is incredible.

01:11:40.320 Like we knew them when there was like five, five people there.

01:11:43.540 Yeah.

01:11:44.520 You know, I think we've we have taken clients.

01:11:47.900 I think we have made five or six companies billion dollar companies.

01:11:52.780 We started with they started with us and over a period of a few years, they've become billion

01:11:58.780 dollar companies.

01:11:59.580 It's amazing.

01:12:00.860 I mean, you know, just just saying to maybe kick us back some is what we're saying.

01:12:05.000 That's all I'm saying.

01:12:06.260 You know, like all I'm saying a couple of yachts.

01:12:08.340 You don't need all that money.

01:12:09.900 Here's some point.

01:12:10.660 You've earned enough money.

01:12:11.420 Right.

01:12:11.940 You don't even notice it.

01:12:13.800 Here's the thing.

01:12:14.820 Those companies, it's not because of us.

01:12:16.680 It's because they're the right companies.

01:13:13.680 Glenn back.

01:13:14.720 We have to make time for pet food, Stu.

01:13:16.900 We have to.

01:13:17.540 It's an interesting sentence.

01:13:19.040 Oh, let me just listen to this.

01:13:20.820 This is when my boyfriend and I got our first cat, Pete, a long legged tuxedo cat.

01:13:27.080 Pete, we fed him friskies.

01:13:32.660 Depending on the type of person you are, you either breeze through that sentence, finding

01:13:36.360 nothing remarkable or you immediately judge me for buying pet food, pet quotation marks

01:13:44.540 food made up of ground chicken bones, beef tallow, soybean hulls and other delightful byproducts.

01:13:52.820 I know this.

01:13:53.940 I know because we were at the time living in Berkeley, California.

01:13:59.220 Pete came to us from a relative in Kentucky and has to make just make things easier.

01:14:04.940 We fed him the same friskies that he had been happily devouring. 0.93

01:14:10.220 But we're not monsters.

01:14:12.180 This story is about to get great when when Pete's parents go into a Berkeley pet food store and the guy says,

01:14:25.740 So what are you feeding?

01:14:26.700 What is this diet?

01:14:27.440 What is this diet?

01:14:27.540 Ben friskies?

01:14:29.680 Oh, my.

01:14:31.360 Oh, they are treated horribly and made to feel that they're horrible human beings.

01:14:36.240 And they believe they are and the links they now go to to show they're not monsters.

01:14:43.440 It's great.

01:14:44.480 Coming up.

01:14:45.860 Glenn Beck.

01:14:47.400 Has your absurdometer broken off?

01:14:49.420 The needle on mine is is is bent.

01:14:51.540 It just gets pegged every day.

01:14:54.420 This what's happening with the left and the Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh is.

01:14:59.820 Well, it busted my absurdometer.

01:15:01.480 I don't even know.

01:15:02.900 I mean, how many Connecticut primary voters realize that Kavanaugh, the guy who's supposedly licking his chops to get there and take your abortion rights away, he's moving into your uterus.

01:15:16.960 How many people in Connecticut know that he hasn't been confirmed yet, that the confirmation hearings haven't even started?

01:15:23.020 And even if he was on the court today, the odds that Roe versus Wade is going to be overturned are still pretty low.

01:15:33.040 And even if it was overturned, the odds of a woman still being able to have an abortion in this country would still be very good. 1.00

01:15:42.100 So what is everybody freaking out about?

01:15:45.340 Well, despite all of the fairly obvious logic surrounding Kavanaugh's nomination in the question of abortion, the Democratic Party has seized on this idea that abortion is in jeopardy and we got to save abortion.

01:15:59.760 I love that.

01:16:00.660 We've got to save death for children. 0.97

01:16:04.040 Joe Gannum.

01:16:05.400 How do we know Joe Gannum, Stu?

01:16:07.840 He's a Democrat in Connecticut.

01:16:09.680 We used to live in Connecticut.

01:16:11.140 I know the name Joe Gannum.

01:16:12.840 He's now running for governor in Connecticut.

01:16:15.720 And he says that the threat to abortion.

01:16:19.280 Let me just say, people in Connecticut, how do you do it?

01:16:24.540 Seriously, how do you do it?

01:16:26.940 Do you know, have you ever heard of Texas?

01:16:31.700 It's like they're not taxing you to death.

01:16:34.360 They're not driving jobs from the state.

01:16:36.520 They're not doing crazy stuff.

01:16:38.420 Our assembly, our government only meets every two years.

01:16:44.360 It's great.

01:16:45.480 They somehow run a much larger state.

01:16:47.700 However, I will say, growing up in Connecticut, I do remember when they said they had no state income tax.

01:16:55.100 Yeah.

01:16:55.220 And they said, we're going to implement it for an emergency purpose and it's going to go away really soon.

01:16:59.640 It's no big deal.

01:17:00.860 The governor ran and he said, you know what?

01:17:02.220 We're not going to implement it.

01:17:03.180 But when he got in, he realized how bad it was.

01:17:05.140 And they had to implement it for just a short time.

01:17:07.140 Just an emergency.

01:17:07.620 And I assume that expired a long time ago.

01:17:10.620 No, it hasn't.

01:17:11.520 No.

01:17:11.860 Are they still collecting?

01:17:13.200 Surprisingly.

01:17:13.520 They haven't raised it or anything, right?

01:17:14.900 No, surprisingly.

01:17:15.560 They haven't raised it higher than it was initially.

01:17:17.680 No.

01:17:18.020 Well, yeah, they have done that.

01:17:20.040 Yes.

01:17:20.440 Yeah.

01:17:20.580 But that was only for an emergency.

01:17:22.180 Oh, OK.

01:17:22.640 Good.

01:17:22.740 Anyway, so to get the threat of abortion, it is so urgent that he is vowing in his campaign to protect it by amending Connecticut's constitution.

01:17:33.080 Now, amending even just a state constitution isn't a small feat.

01:17:37.180 In Connecticut, it requires approval from both chambers of the state legislature.

01:17:41.620 If it passes, it requires voter approval through a referendum and then the governor.

01:17:46.680 So let me see if I'm finding the logic here.

01:17:49.840 You want to amend your constitution to guarantee your right to kill an unborn child just in case, just in case a judge whom you've already determined is the enemy gets confirmed to the Supreme Court.

01:18:05.340 Seems logical.

01:18:06.460 That's what if I were looking to vote for a governor, that's the one I would vote for.

01:18:10.960 You know, the hell with the taxes and the state falling apart and, you know, actually having to sell assets on the open market to be able to meet, you know, your bills.

01:18:21.240 Forget about all that.

01:18:22.520 I'd go for this.

01:18:24.720 Gattam says whether it takes two years or three years, certainly it is worth the effort.

01:18:29.160 Could take two sessions of the General Assembly.

01:18:31.220 He says if he wins the governor's race in November, he could, he could, not that he will, he could introduce this amendment as early as January.

01:18:40.900 Why the, why the rush to cement the right to exterminate more babies? 0.63

01:18:46.460 What, why is it everyone is so, this is the most important thing ever.

01:18:52.840 Narcissism, greed comes to mind, but mainly because Kavanaugh and the president who nominated him.

01:19:05.280 That's what's really driving this.

01:19:12.240 It's Thursday, August 9th.

01:19:14.800 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:19:16.800 Okay, if you, if you look at the headlines in the mainstream media, you are going to see a story about some guy.

01:19:25.660 We don't even know who he is.

01:19:26.940 Some guy who had, had, had, had 15 kids.

01:19:32.620 He was out in the middle of nowhere in a compound doing exorcisms.

01:19:39.380 And he's training kids to kill.

01:19:41.560 Why, my gosh, he's got to be an NRA member.

01:19:44.500 He's got to be a crazy Christian with those exorcisms. 1.00

01:19:47.700 No, no.

01:19:49.340 When you actually hear the names and then look the names up, you realize this is an Islamic extremist camp where they have 15 kids and they're training them to shoot other children in schools. 0.92

01:20:06.660 There's also a neat little tie to Linda Sarsour.

01:20:09.780 But the media can't be bothered with all of that.

01:20:13.580 This is really about guns.

01:20:15.140 This is what this is really about.

01:20:17.020 Andrew McCarthy is with us.

01:20:18.200 He's a contributing editor of the National Review.

01:20:21.520 Hello, Andrew.

01:20:22.100 How are you?

01:20:23.200 I'm doing great, Glenn.

01:20:24.560 I think, you know, I think probably we could say guns don't kill people.

01:20:28.620 Sharia supremacism kills people. 0.98

01:20:30.420 Yes, I would think that that would be a good headline.

01:20:33.240 It would be a good headline.

01:20:34.980 So, Andrew, tell me about this guy.

01:20:37.320 Tell me what this is.

01:20:38.460 Well, the guy who is at the center of this incident down in New Mexico, Glenn, is named Siraj Wahaj.

01:20:48.460 And that name is a blast from the past because he is a guy who came up in our investigation of the blind shake that led to the trial of those characters after the World Trade Center was bombed.

01:21:03.700 So if anybody doesn't know who you are, explain your connection to that, Andrew.

01:21:09.120 I was the lead prosecutor in the blind shake case back in the mid-90s.

01:21:13.580 And we convicted about 12 jihadists for actually the main charge was seditious conspiracy to make war against the United States.

01:21:24.540 And it included the World Trade Center bombing and a plot to bomb the Lincoln and Holland Tunnels, the FBI's Manhattan headquarters and the like.

01:21:33.660 So, OK, so now that I'm ahead of the curve, the father, the father, the guy who, you know, because he was a character witness for the defense of the blind shake.

01:21:46.420 So he got on the stand and he was all this guy's great.

01:21:49.440 Tell me about him.

01:21:50.400 You know, you know, it's very interesting, Glenn.

01:21:52.680 And he that's he precisely didn't do that.

01:21:55.660 And his testimony was one of the most interesting parts of the whole trial.

01:22:00.740 We I was a good, a much better weaselly lawyer back then than I am now.

01:22:07.460 So we had put out a letter at the beginning of the trial.

01:22:12.080 And most of these big conspiracy cases, the government's required to tell the defense who the unindicted co-conspirators are,

01:22:18.200 other people who come up in the evidence who aren't listed in the indictment.

01:22:21.300 And he was one of the names we gave, but we didn't identify him specifically as a co-conspirator.

01:22:27.840 We said that we reserved the right to call him that.

01:22:31.480 So he was somebody who hovered around the investigation, but he was not implicated in the main plots that we had.

01:22:39.500 So he wasn't he wasn't charged.

01:22:41.380 But the interesting thing about him is he is a committed.

01:22:46.100 Sharia supremacist, he was actually the first Muslim imam to give the opening.

01:22:51.300 Invocation in a in a session of Congress, he was a fairly prominent guy and he was very open about his beliefs,

01:23:02.900 which were, you know, he's a he's a dyed in the wool Islamic extremist.

01:23:07.540 And he was asked by I think some of these defense lawyers thought that he was going to be really helpful to them.

01:23:14.180 And one of them, who was a blind shakes lawyer, said, you never heard anything about, you know, 0.81

01:23:19.560 the blind shake coming to the to the mosque and saying that we should rob banks for the jihad.

01:23:25.260 And Sarai said, well, you know, as a matter of fact.

01:23:29.860 So wait a minute.

01:23:30.660 So is he just he's he's not a guy who thinks it's wrong.

01:23:36.100 He's just unapologetic about it because it correct.

01:23:39.100 OK, right.

01:23:40.060 Right. And and if you had such a person and he had a son who, by the way, was about, I want to say, 15 or 16 at the time.

01:23:47.540 And then you learned, you know, flash forward to 2018, that this is how the son turned out.

01:23:52.880 How shocking is that?

01:23:54.100 Not at all.

01:23:55.340 Right. So, yeah, I think there's two things, Glenn, if I made about this that are that are kind of disturbing.

01:24:02.440 One is I looked at the reporting from CBS and the AP this morning, and it seems to me like we're still doing the Obama administration countering violent extremism,

01:24:15.820 where we're not supposed to factor in the ideological component of this and we wait until something horrific happens.

01:24:21.920 So they say here that the FBI did an investigation here that went on for a couple of months,

01:24:28.760 and they decided that they didn't have enough probable cause to get a search warrant for the compound.

01:24:35.840 And I mean, that sounds crazy to me.

01:24:38.280 I don't mean to laugh about it, but I feel like I've been hitting my head against the same brick wall for 25 years.

01:24:44.580 If you've got a bunch of people who are operating under an ideological system where they consider themselves to be at war with the Western society,

01:24:58.340 and they're living in a parallel society, as it were, in New Mexico, and you don't think that that contributes to the probable cause,

01:25:07.820 given all the evidence we have of what the link is between the ideology and the violent action?

01:25:14.520 I just think that's crazy.

01:25:15.820 So, Andrew, tell me what they did find when they went in there.

01:25:20.140 Well, they found lots and lots of firearms.

01:25:25.940 Evidently, they have found human remains, which haven't been identified but are suspected of being the younger Wahaj's son.

01:25:35.060 We don't know.

01:25:35.620 We should stress that, at least as far as I know, that hasn't been confirmed.

01:25:39.720 And they have found evidence, as you pointed out at the beginning, that essentially they were schooling these kids who were there,

01:25:49.540 who, by the way, were being held in these really awful, dilapidated conditions.

01:25:54.320 But they were being schooled in Sharia supremacism, including the notion that they are at war with the West,

01:26:02.140 and they were being trained to commit violent actions in schools, which is, you know, I mean,

01:26:08.240 if you're going to take this ideology seriously, that's what it teaches.

01:26:12.600 So where did these kids come from?

01:26:15.400 They were 15.

01:26:16.060 Yeah, I'm not, I don't know exactly whether they're all local or, you know, whether people move from great distances to come there.

01:26:27.920 But I think the disturbing thing is that you do have some of these sort of parallel societies within a society that pop up in the areas of the South and the Southwest.

01:26:44.220 So they haven't gotten a lot of attention, but it happens.

01:26:48.340 Now, this weekend, the white supremacists, which is supposed to be a big zilch and very low turnout,

01:26:56.360 having a big white supremacist march, and the media is going to make that into the, you know,

01:27:00.980 they're the most dangerous people in the country.

01:27:03.240 Well, there's somebody that you should watch.

01:27:05.360 This is actual.

01:27:07.400 These are people who are actually training kids to kill.

01:27:10.740 And there's a connection to Linda Sarsour.

01:27:15.820 Have you seen this, Andrew?

01:27:17.760 Yeah, well, I know that there's a Siraj Wahaj, the elder connection to Sarsour.

01:27:22.960 And in my experience, Glenn, a lot of these people end up running in the same circles.

01:27:29.520 I mean, I used to have to look at this a little bit more carefully.

01:27:33.820 So you'd see these conventions that they would have every few weeks or so,

01:27:39.000 and it's always the same names that come up again and again.

01:27:42.200 And most of them have some kind of tie to an organization that is either, you know,

01:27:49.740 quasi-formally the Muslim Brotherhood or influenced by the Muslim Brotherhood or what have you.

01:27:54.620 But it's a network that's been operating here really since the 1980s.

01:27:59.280 So she gave a speech at the last ISNA conference, and she praised senior as her mentor,

01:28:07.060 a guy who meets with her on regular occasion, somebody that when she gets down, encourages her,

01:28:13.220 teaches her about Islam, et cetera, et cetera.

01:28:15.480 What does that say about her?

01:28:16.740 Well, you know, it says that when we talk about Islamic extremism,

01:28:24.420 nobody wants to talk about what it is they're being extreme about.

01:28:29.040 You know, we just sort of cavalierly use that expression.

01:28:32.820 And I am here to tell you that if you subscribe to this belief system,

01:28:39.580 that is the people who do,

01:28:41.200 whether they are trying to move the Sharia supremacist agenda

01:28:47.180 along the lines of, you know, legal action, media action, and that sort of stuff,

01:28:54.840 or you are the pointy end of the sphere

01:28:58.420 who are doing, you know, the kind of teaching and direct action

01:29:03.120 that Siraj the Younger appears to have been involved in,

01:29:06.780 this is all under the umbrella of the same threat to the West.

01:29:11.200 And I know, you know, people want to throw stuff at you when you say that,

01:29:14.620 but it's a fact that Linda Sarsour and Al-Qaeda 0.77

01:29:20.420 have a lot more in common than, say, Linda Sarsour and you and me.

01:29:26.800 And, you know, that's the world we're living in,

01:29:29.360 whether people want to face up to it or not.

01:29:31.300 Andrew, you've always been a clear thinker

01:29:36.200 and an outspoken advocate for actually looking the problem in the eye,

01:29:42.740 and I appreciate your service and your time today.

01:29:45.000 Thank you so much.

01:29:46.580 Thanks so much, Glenn.

01:29:47.520 You bet.

01:29:48.080 Andrew McCarthy, he's a contributing editor of the National Review

01:29:51.800 and lead prosecutor on the Blind Shake case back in the 1990s.

01:30:01.320 How long will it be before?

01:30:03.360 Do you think anybody will do a serious story in the mainstream media

01:30:05.820 on Linda Sarsour and the Blind Shake and the father and the...

01:30:10.080 Think anybody will tie those together?

01:30:11.740 I mean, I did see CBS did talk a little bit about the ties

01:30:17.160 between this incident and the father.

01:30:22.440 But it won't take it any farther than that.

01:30:24.160 You know, I don't know.

01:30:24.880 I mean, again, you take the little bits and pieces

01:30:27.900 where you can grab them.

01:30:29.820 All right.

01:30:30.460 I want to talk to you about My Patriot Supply.

01:30:33.560 I don't know if you've seen the headlines recently,

01:30:36.180 but, wow, things could change quickly.

01:30:38.740 You imagine if they would have taken these 15 kids,

01:30:41.140 put them in 15 different schools?

01:30:43.300 They would have had a coordinated attack on one day.

01:30:46.740 Can you imagine what that would have done to our country?

01:30:49.860 I mean, it changes it completely.

01:30:53.460 If you do what, you know, Beslan, look it up.

01:30:56.860 Be careful because it's horrifying.

01:30:59.740 But if you look at the attack that happened in Russia,

01:31:02.760 if that would happen here in America,

01:31:04.140 I think it would shut our economy down.

01:31:05.580 Nobody's going to let their kids go to school.

01:31:06.940 If you had serious terrorist attacks on schools here in America,

01:31:12.860 you're not sending your kids.

01:31:13.860 You hate to even talk about it.

01:31:14.880 But, I mean, we could take a more recent example

01:31:16.880 of the shooting at the softball field one year ago,

01:31:20.880 which, I mean, thankfully was not as successful

01:31:23.760 as the guy wanted it to be.

01:31:26.760 But if it was, you're talking about, you know,

01:31:29.080 10% of all elected Republicans?

01:31:31.480 It's crazy.

01:31:32.440 It's really, really crazy.

01:31:33.540 It's a big deal.

01:31:34.620 We have all kinds of things that could happen overnight.

01:31:37.140 And, you know, you don't want to worry about them.

01:31:39.080 I don't anymore.

01:31:41.680 It's a little shocking how relieved you feel

01:31:44.980 once you have a food supply ready for you.

01:31:47.840 Once you know that, you know,

01:31:49.000 it doesn't matter what comes with my job,

01:31:50.580 doesn't matter what comes in the world,

01:31:51.780 I'm going to be able to take care of my family's

01:31:53.660 and my family's needs.

01:31:56.520 It's shockingly, it's a real relief.

01:32:00.040 So whether you're in California

01:32:01.500 and you've been looking at these wildfires,

01:32:03.360 have something that you can grab and go with.

01:32:06.160 My Patriot Supply has it.

01:32:07.920 Dozens of emergency food kits,

01:32:09.860 as well as, you know, water filtration systems

01:32:12.080 that are gravity powered,

01:32:13.200 all at mypatriotsupply.com.

01:32:16.720 mypatriotsupply.com.

01:32:18.060 Take the pressure off of yourself.

01:32:20.360 Get yourself prepared.

01:32:22.020 Bite by bite, step by step,

01:32:23.860 mypatriotsupply.com.

01:32:25.780 Okay, so right, so right, I don't know,

01:32:33.580 I don't understand my country anymore.

01:32:35.640 Right now, Vice President Pence is giving a speech

01:32:40.640 to drum up support for a new space force.

01:32:47.640 Now, I don't know why I want to say it.

01:32:49.860 Space force! 0.99

01:32:51.580 It does feel that way.

01:32:52.200 And they want a new space force.

01:32:54.600 And, you know, I...

01:32:57.480 What do they know that we don't know?

01:33:01.400 Why do we need a space force all of a sudden?

01:33:04.120 This is the open of every mediocre sci-fi movie in history.

01:33:08.700 Like, they just...

01:33:09.380 We're not...

01:33:10.100 We don't have a reason, but...

01:33:12.360 We need a space force. 0.93

01:33:14.040 We're going to put that together.

01:33:15.140 Who's going to run that?

01:33:17.260 Jeff Goldblum.

01:33:18.540 Yeah, that would be good.

01:33:19.960 That's exactly who's going to run it.

01:33:21.740 Yeah, I like that.

01:33:22.560 Okay.

01:33:23.240 So you have Jeff Goldblum running our space force.

01:33:26.040 And you're right.

01:33:26.780 It's like, there's no...

01:33:27.740 You know, we got some satellite issues.

01:33:29.520 We're going to go up there.

01:33:30.380 No, there's a big, huge asteroid coming towards us.

01:33:32.600 That's what it is.

01:33:33.260 And again, this is not like, hey, we want to explore space.

01:33:36.720 This is, we need a sixth branch of the military.

01:33:39.240 That is how they're selling it.

01:33:40.620 They need a military space force. 0.92

01:33:42.440 I mean, I'm trying to give the benefit of the doubt

01:33:44.520 that it's not just, that sounds cool.

01:33:47.280 Let's do that.

01:33:48.800 You know what I mean?

01:33:49.000 It does feel like that.

01:33:50.060 It does feel like that.

01:33:52.000 Because it would be cool.

01:33:53.000 Like, there's...

01:33:53.740 Jason, who works here, has a space force t-shirt.

01:33:57.360 Does he?

01:33:57.960 Yeah, you haven't seen him wearing it?

01:33:58.940 No.

01:33:59.340 He was worn it to work a couple of times.

01:34:01.320 It's actually...

01:34:01.800 It looks like it says Star Wars,

01:34:03.000 but if you read it, it says Space Force.

01:34:05.140 Because it is kind of like a fun thing.

01:34:08.180 It's a toy that sounds like a fun thing to have.

01:34:10.620 I don't think we need to be buying toys.

01:34:12.160 In the situation we're in,

01:34:13.840 which I don't know if anyone's noticed,

01:34:15.700 incredible...

01:34:17.280 The amount of debt we are currently putting on,

01:34:20.180 and by the way, it's getting worse.

01:34:21.900 Not better, worse.

01:34:23.020 Right.

01:34:23.700 I don't know if building a space force

01:34:25.720 is really what I'm looking for at the moment.

01:34:27.580 I mean, I know they're making the case,

01:34:29.920 but I don't know why this sounds...

01:34:33.180 Just doesn't sound good to me.

01:34:36.240 It just doesn't sound like

01:34:37.240 what we should be concentrating on a space force.

01:34:39.740 But, you know, Jeff Goldblum,

01:34:42.360 he's never wrong in those movies.

01:34:43.960 Never.

01:34:47.120 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:34:48.660 I'm just...

01:34:49.160 I'm sorry, but I am just...

01:34:50.460 I realized I am just...

01:34:52.520 I am sitting in a room full of

01:34:54.840 just Neanderthals right now. 0.79

01:34:56.980 I asked Pat,

01:34:57.700 what do you feed your dog?

01:34:58.680 What do you feed your dog?

01:35:00.080 No idea.

01:35:01.000 No idea.

01:35:01.620 What do you feed your dog?

01:35:02.140 I don't even know if my dog eats.

01:35:04.220 Does it eat?

01:35:04.640 Is it alive still?

01:35:05.580 I think.

01:35:06.700 I think so.

01:35:07.520 Probably eats then.

01:35:08.360 See, it's obnoxious yapping from time to time.

01:35:11.000 Yeah.

01:35:11.180 Hear it.

01:35:11.940 What do you feed your dog?

01:35:13.500 Whatever Amazon ships on our subscribed delivery.

01:35:17.780 I earlier started this story.

01:35:19.440 We haven't been able to finish it yet,

01:35:20.620 but I want to just give you a little bit more.

01:35:22.580 When my boyfriend and I got our first cat, Pete,

01:35:25.960 we fed him friskies.

01:35:27.160 I didn't know you had a boyfriend,

01:35:27.980 but that's cool.

01:35:28.820 No, this is a story that I'm...

01:35:30.420 Oh, I know because...

01:35:32.760 It's important clarification right there.

01:35:33.400 Yeah.

01:35:33.720 I know that we were being judged for buying pet...

01:35:41.540 This is a quote, quotation marks, food.

01:35:45.120 So how are they spelled?

01:35:45.880 It's pet, then what?

01:35:47.380 Dash, dash?

01:35:48.220 Dash, dash.

01:35:49.140 A-H-E-M. 1.00

01:35:52.260 Pet, quotation marks, food.

01:35:54.640 Because we were at the time living in Berkeley, California,

01:35:56.960 Pete came to us from a relative in Kentucky,

01:35:58.700 and to ease the cross-country move.

01:36:01.820 We just fed him the same friskies that he'd been happily devouring. 0.97

01:36:04.900 Oh, no.

01:36:05.840 But we're not monsters.

01:36:08.100 Oh, you could have fooled me.

01:36:09.680 Yeah.

01:36:10.040 It sounds like it.

01:36:11.960 So they go into how the person at the pet store looked at them

01:36:17.520 and gave them this horrible, you're a monster look.

01:36:21.520 Because they feed their cat friskies? 1.00

01:36:23.520 Yeah.

01:36:24.360 Mm-hmm.

01:36:26.040 Pet food has become a fraught for me now.

01:36:28.480 What once was a simple choice between wet and dry food

01:36:30.860 now entails selecting from a dizzying array of corn-free,

01:36:33.980 potato-free, rice-free, oat-free, organic, grass-fed, cage-free,

01:36:38.140 frozen raw meat, alternative proteins like kangaroo and alligator,

01:36:41.920 specific diets for purebreds from Maine Coons to miniature schnauzers,

01:36:47.300 and, of course, vegetarian and vegan formulas.

01:36:50.400 Plus, you're not going to feed it anything that has gluten in it, are you?

01:36:54.640 I hope not.

01:36:55.600 I hope not.

01:36:56.240 I hope not.

01:36:56.840 So when I heard about a Berkeley-based startup called Wild Earth

01:37:00.260 that was experimenting with sustainable clean protein for pets.

01:37:05.000 Finally.

01:37:05.640 Made from a fungus called koji for dogs and lab-grown mouse meat for cats.

01:37:12.120 I've been an advocate of this for how long?

01:37:14.360 As long as I'm in the 40s, I think.

01:37:16.440 I was intrigued.

01:37:17.620 Okay, hang on just a second.

01:37:19.680 Lab-grown mouse meat.

01:37:23.960 Now, this is not like, hey, we got a scientist together,

01:37:28.480 and we're pulling some protein from this.

01:37:29.720 This is meat grown in a lab.

01:37:33.380 Okay?

01:37:34.300 She met with the, in June, I met him at a vegan dog-friendly cafe

01:37:38.080 in the Bay Area.

01:37:39.440 And he ordered cheese rolls made with tapioca and coconut.

01:37:46.760 Anyway, he goes on to talk about how it's super intense what you feed your animals.

01:37:51.120 And so he's working with biotech startups, and they measure or they make new meat for these animals.

01:38:04.340 He said, you know, why am I feeding animals to animals?

01:38:08.220 Okay?

01:38:08.660 It's just not consistent with my personal ethics.

01:38:11.380 Well, I mean, animals eat animals.

01:38:12.960 That's what animals eat.

01:38:14.480 Some, not all.

01:38:15.900 Okay?

01:38:16.400 He said, so they launched it, and they first made dog treats made from koji.

01:38:20.360 It's a fungus.

01:38:21.820 That sounds good already.

01:38:23.500 It's traditionally grown on grain to make soy sauce, miso, sake, and vinegar.

01:38:28.280 Later, it's become popular among foodies.

01:38:32.320 I know I eat it all the time.

01:38:34.260 He then says, lest we forget about the cats, mouse meat now is being made in a bioreactor.

01:38:42.640 A bioreactor.

01:38:44.220 Mm-hmm.

01:38:44.880 Mm-hmm.

01:38:45.760 By the way, he says, by the way.

01:38:47.600 Maybe we do need a Space Force. 0.92

01:38:49.280 He does.

01:38:49.860 This is the type of story.

01:38:50.720 I'm moving off this planet soon.

01:38:52.280 I have to.

01:38:53.380 He does say that he is a dog food and cat food manufacturer that believes that all CEOs

01:39:00.280 that make this should eat their own product. 1.00

01:39:03.400 And so he eats the dog food, and he's proud of it.

01:39:05.800 Okay?

01:39:06.460 And he doesn't have a problem with it.

01:39:08.080 But this new thing that they're making, it's mouse cells that grow the mouse meat from the serum derived from fetuses inside of slaughtered cows.

01:39:31.320 So when they slaughter a cow, if there's a fetus, a baby cow, they take that cow, and then they get all the yummy stuff out of that.

01:39:41.260 And they put it in a lab.

01:39:44.940 There's yummy stuff in that?

01:39:45.540 Oh, yeah.

01:39:45.940 Oh, okay.

01:39:46.420 I wouldn't have thought.

01:39:47.540 The serum.

01:39:48.280 Uh-huh.

01:39:48.500 The serum.

01:39:49.640 The serum.

01:39:50.280 He says it grows mouse meat.

01:39:55.540 And he said, right now, it has kind of a runny texture.

01:40:00.180 Hmm.

01:40:01.360 Hmm.

01:40:02.220 But it's the same as mouse meat.

01:40:05.040 When she asked, would you eat the mouse?

01:40:09.120 Would you eat that?

01:40:10.020 And he said, you know what?

01:40:13.220 This is a quote.

01:40:13.960 You know what?

01:40:15.780 Yes.

01:40:16.440 Yes, I would taste it.

01:40:18.240 No, tasting and eating, not the same thing, dude.

01:40:21.500 Yeah, what was it, Fear Factor?

01:40:22.560 They used to eat, like, spiders.

01:40:24.320 They didn't decide, I'm going to start eating spiders now.

01:40:27.540 They tasted it.

01:40:28.720 Mm-hmm.

01:40:29.720 Mm-hmm.

01:40:30.380 That was a weird show.

01:40:31.100 This is a whole story.

01:40:32.800 This story goes on forever.

01:40:34.760 And it's an Atlantic story about how this person in Berkeley is so tortured by friskies. 1.00

01:40:40.660 And, you know, what are the ethics?

01:40:42.440 Because I'm a cat parent.

01:40:44.760 No, you're not a cat parent.

01:40:46.320 You're not a cat parent.

01:40:47.680 No, you own a cat.

01:40:49.320 And you control the life of that cat.

01:40:51.380 Set it free.

01:40:52.520 Set it free.

01:40:54.200 I think this is a sign, though, of our society really improving.

01:40:59.700 Is it?

01:40:59.960 Because if you can, I do, I do.

01:41:01.440 Because if you can be bothered by that, I mean, people in the middle of World War II in London

01:41:07.300 were not bothered by what they were feeding their cat, right?

01:41:09.920 We were eating cats.

01:41:11.040 Right.

01:41:11.580 In Venezuela right now, they're legitimately, literally eating dogs there to stay alive.

01:41:17.700 It is a good sign. 0.56

01:41:18.960 If it didn't come with all the angst.

01:41:20.780 Oh, I don't know.

01:41:21.660 No, I mean, mouse meat.

01:41:23.380 So, I mean, they don't even think about, wait, that's a slaughtered cow.

01:41:28.700 Oh, I want to be ethical.

01:41:29.900 It's a slaughtered cow that had a fetus.

01:41:32.720 So, you're taking a fetus out of a mama cow and just harvesting new kinds of meat out of it. 0.99

01:41:40.720 It's a very strange story.

01:41:42.300 But if you believe, like, the documentary, The Matrix, I don't know if you guys have ever seen that,

01:41:48.480 but they talk about how people are always going to have angst.

01:41:53.500 They're always going to have angst.

01:41:54.820 They're always going to have their problems.

01:41:56.100 And the people who controlled The Matrix had to make The Matrix a little bit more negative

01:42:00.640 because people couldn't deal with it when it was so positive.

01:42:03.760 That's kind of the situation here, right?

01:42:05.420 People are always going to have angst.

01:42:06.580 You might as well have it be about things that are in comparison trivial.

01:42:11.480 Yeah, I can see that.

01:42:13.740 I would like to be outraged by Friskies. 1.00

01:42:16.180 That would be great.

01:42:17.800 Yeah, it would be.

01:42:18.580 If that was our biggest problem.

01:42:19.840 Think of the list of problems you've got to clear out before you get to Friskies.

01:42:22.860 Yeah.

01:42:23.300 It's way down there.

01:42:24.480 Also, think of the list of problems we haven't cleared out, and that's still what they're focused on.

01:42:28.720 Yes.

01:42:28.920 That's the problem.

01:42:29.480 They're going to have something to answer to on the other side.

01:42:31.200 We all do.

01:42:31.720 But, I mean, that's ridiculous.

01:42:33.640 That's asinine.

01:42:34.500 So, help me out, Pat, with the latest from Michael Moore.

01:42:38.500 Oh, that fat lump is...

01:42:40.500 No, that's not.

01:42:41.620 Brilliant.

01:42:42.100 No, that's not.

01:42:43.600 That's not the way to approach it.

01:42:45.240 I can't approach it any other way today.

01:42:47.780 I just can't.

01:42:49.020 It's beyond me.

01:42:50.560 His new thing is, Donald Trump is the last U.S. president.

01:42:55.840 Oh, really?

01:42:56.260 His thing is F hope, because it's the lazy way out.

01:43:00.820 F hope.

01:43:01.320 F hope.

01:43:02.380 Seriously, F hope.

01:43:04.740 F despair, too, but F hope.

01:43:07.260 Hope is passive.

01:43:08.540 Hope gives you permission to let someone else do the work.

01:43:11.100 Hope leads people to believe that tax returns or a pee tape or the FBI or an adult film star will save the country.

01:43:17.300 Hope and the passivity that comes with it is what helped us get here to begin with.

01:43:21.600 It's the lazy way out.

01:43:23.120 Do you think there's anyone, anyone on the left, anyone that now looks at me and says, he was pretty rational compared to this.

01:43:32.900 He was downright positive about Barack Obama.

01:43:35.140 Compared to these guys, we were.

01:43:37.600 Compared to the absolute absurdity that's going on now, we were Barack Obama fans.

01:43:46.360 It's almost that crazy.

01:43:48.100 It is almost that crazy.

01:43:49.280 We almost celebrated him in comparison.

01:43:51.880 He, and he claims he's got this new documentary coming out on September 21st, Fahrenheit 11-9.

01:44:02.260 I heard, is that clever or what?

01:44:04.560 It is.

01:44:04.940 No, what does 11-9 mean?

01:44:06.180 I think it's the day after the election.

01:44:08.600 The day after the election.

01:44:09.640 The day after.

01:44:10.340 I heard you going through, I think the other day on Pat Gray Unleashed on The Blaze, by the way, that you can listen and watch every day.

01:44:17.120 I heard you going over the all-time documentary numbers.

01:44:20.540 Yeah.

01:44:20.720 And there's a reason why he's coming back to Fahrenheit 11-9.

01:44:23.380 Yeah.

01:44:23.580 Because Fahrenheit 9-11 was the most successful documentary by like a thousand percent.

01:44:32.740 Yeah.

01:44:33.180 It is.

01:44:34.000 By a ton.

01:44:34.240 Yeah.

01:44:34.560 I mean.

01:44:34.760 Well, he got an Oscar for it.

01:44:36.480 He did.

01:44:37.000 That's right.

01:44:37.560 No, he got an Oscar for, wasn't it Bowling for Columbine he got an Oscar for?

01:44:40.660 I can't remember.

01:44:41.180 He made the speech in that era, though.

01:44:42.840 Yeah.

01:44:42.980 The famous speech where he got, where even Hollywood booed him, which is one of my favorite moments.

01:44:47.380 I don't remember that.

01:44:48.560 Oh, please refresh my memory.

01:44:49.880 Oh, I was like, I want to say 2004-ish.

01:44:52.080 And he had made, I think he got an Oscar for Bowling for Columbine, if I don't, if my memory doesn't fail me.

01:44:58.840 And he went on stage and he just started going, we oppose you, Mr. Bush.

01:45:03.660 And he started making this ridiculous like political thing and the crowd just starts booing him.

01:45:07.380 This is at a point where they hate George W. Bush.

01:45:10.180 I mean, the entire nation on the, when it comes to Hollywood, because they obviously see themselves as their own, like, they've seceded.

01:45:17.060 And they see themselves as their own nation.

01:45:18.840 Everyone there hates him.

01:45:20.160 Even they started booing him.

01:45:22.080 For making it so overtly political and ridiculous.

01:45:25.020 I remember loving that moment.

01:45:26.480 It was, uh.

01:45:27.260 Wow.

01:45:27.540 I'm going to have to go back and revisit that.

01:45:28.780 Yeah, I know.

01:45:29.180 I think it's a fun one.

01:45:29.880 That should be on a best of.

01:45:31.180 I think it was.

01:45:31.860 Hey, rainy day gets you down.

01:45:33.360 Watch this.

01:45:34.260 Uh-huh.

01:45:34.720 Yeah.

01:45:35.320 But, yeah, what was it?

01:45:36.320 I mean, if he, it was, he's well over, he's the only documentary that's ever made it into, uh.

01:45:41.080 A hundred million plus.

01:45:42.000 Nine figures, right?

01:45:42.760 Yeah.

01:45:43.060 He, it was a hundred and twenty million, I think, hundred and twenty-five million, something like that.

01:45:46.720 And I think number two was twenty-five, maybe?

01:45:49.580 Yeah.

01:45:50.440 Which, I think one of Dinesh's is.

01:45:52.600 Dinesh's are up there.

01:45:54.160 Twenty-five, yeah.

01:45:54.460 He's up there, yeah.

01:45:55.540 Yeah.

01:45:56.100 And this one's going to do pretty well.

01:45:57.480 He's, he made, what, two point three, I think, the first week.

01:46:00.540 And it's, it was only in a thousand figures.

01:46:03.060 Yeah, he thinks it'll make about thirteen, fourteen.

01:46:04.960 Yeah?

01:46:05.340 Yeah.

01:46:05.700 Which is good.

01:46:06.260 That's really good.

01:46:07.100 Really good.

01:46:07.500 Here it is.

01:46:07.860 Number one, uh, Fahrenheit 9-11, $119 million.

01:46:11.300 Number two is March of the Penguins.

01:46:13.080 So, again, we're not in, uh, this is including that type, which is at seventy-seven.

01:46:17.260 Justin Bieber, seventy-three.

01:46:18.960 Michael Jackson, seventy-two.

01:46:20.700 The next one is Dinesh.

01:46:21.820 Uh, 2016, Obama's America made thirty-three million dollars.

01:46:25.240 So, the next political one would be, uh, Dinesh.

01:46:28.100 Uh, and then after that, you know, Michael Moore's Sicko, 24 million, An Inconvenient Truth.

01:46:34.220 I mean, here's a, here's a movie that affected a generation of political debate.

01:46:39.280 It made twenty-four million dollars.

01:46:41.080 And won an Oscar.

01:46:42.200 And won an Oscar.

01:46:42.980 That won an Oscar.

01:46:43.540 Yep.

01:46:43.820 Bowling for Columbine is also, it was the one he won an Oscar for, 21 million.

01:46:48.200 Um, and then, you know, the next one is, um, Won't You Be My Neighbor?

01:46:52.020 This one that's out now.

01:46:52.940 Oh, haven't you seen that?

01:46:53.360 The new Fred Rogers.

01:46:54.420 Everybody's raving.

01:46:55.480 He's saying he's like the greatest guy of all time.

01:46:58.020 I, I, I'm really interested in seeing it because it's very rare that you see a movie get so universally praised like this.

01:47:03.340 I'd like to see the dirt on him.

01:47:05.280 I'd like to see the, I'd like to see the dark underbelly of Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood.

01:47:09.880 Sometimes his shoes were dirty.

01:47:11.160 Yeah.

01:47:11.500 Not all Mr. McFeely.

01:47:12.920 Come on.

01:47:13.580 Come on.

01:47:14.280 Who names that guy?

01:47:15.820 Even as a kid, I was like, Mom, I shouldn't trust, when you're talking about Candy from Strangers, it's that guy, right?

01:47:23.100 Mr. McFeely?

01:47:23.980 Come on.

01:47:25.660 What's up with that?

01:47:27.620 It's questionable.

01:47:29.000 Questionable on that one.

01:47:29.840 Yeah.

01:47:30.200 Could have been like Mr. Smith.

01:47:32.220 Yeah.

01:47:32.440 Might have been better.

01:47:33.160 Yeah.

01:47:33.820 Jones.

01:47:34.440 Yeah.

01:47:34.620 Something like that.

01:47:35.160 By the way, Rotten Tomatoes, 99% for Won't You Be My Neighbor.

01:47:39.180 Who's the one critic who's like, you know what?

01:47:41.220 I just don't like Rogers.

01:47:42.620 He seems like a bastard to me.

01:47:44.180 That trolley.

01:47:45.040 I don't trust it.

01:47:46.620 But you shouldn't trust the trolley.

01:47:48.900 And the king, he was stupid.

01:47:50.660 I don't know what was happening to us at that point.

01:47:54.000 So I'm going to be interested to see.

01:47:56.160 He says, Michael Moore claims there's a real insurgency taking place and it's not coming

01:48:00.880 from the Democrats.

01:48:01.440 He doesn't want to divulge too much, but he says there's true resistance.

01:48:05.700 Oh, there is.

01:48:06.280 It's called Antifa and the Socialists.

01:48:08.600 That's what I think he's talking about.

01:48:10.280 And apparently he's going to feature some of that in the movie.

01:48:12.600 So it's an interesting time to turn your party overtly to democratic socialism.

01:48:19.900 And the radicals.

01:48:21.080 It really is an interesting time to do that.

01:48:23.380 Because, I mean, you can do that at any time, right?

01:48:25.100 Yeah.

01:48:25.320 But right now, let me give you the highest.

01:48:27.860 These are the worst performing currencies against the U.S. dollar.

01:48:31.440 Okay.

01:48:31.640 You know, like, for example, India minus 7% over the past year.

01:48:34.880 Okay.

01:48:35.400 Haiti minus 8%.

01:48:36.840 That's not good.

01:48:38.460 Ethiopia minus 18%.

01:48:40.280 That's really not going well, right?

01:48:42.480 Argentina minus 57%.

01:48:44.620 That's terrible.

01:48:46.040 The Sudan.

01:48:46.800 I mean, look, we know what's going on in the Sudan.

01:48:48.520 It's the worst thing that's probably ever happened.

01:48:50.080 It's a national, a global, you know, catastrophe.

01:48:53.660 Minus 170% for the dollar.

01:48:56.680 Venezuela minus 2 million percent.

01:48:59.440 2 million percent.

01:49:01.700 In the moment where that is occurring.

01:49:04.160 They're like, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the way to go.

01:49:08.460 That's incredible.

01:49:11.900 Thank you very much, Pat.

01:49:14.580 Pat Gray.

01:49:15.480 I wish I could listen to him for like two or three hours.

01:49:18.500 Yeah.

01:49:18.820 Like, maybe like if he had his own show on like Pat Gray Unleashed or something.

01:49:21.840 That'd be good.

01:49:22.240 Where you could watch him on the Blaze Radio and TV networks.

01:49:23.760 And if you didn't get enough there, maybe you could watch him on the news and why it matters.

01:49:27.160 It's happening at 5.30 p.m. on the Blaze as well.

01:49:30.320 Right after my show.

01:49:31.180 Top news podcast as well.

01:49:32.640 Huh.

01:49:33.600 Yeah.

01:49:34.120 You get on iTunes and you get to hear me and you get to hear Glenn and you get to hear Pat and Doc and Sarah.

01:49:39.420 It's a great, it's a great crew.

01:49:40.960 Fun.

01:49:42.660 Owning a home has never been easier and it continues to be a great investment.

01:49:46.340 But, you know, whether you're buying your first home, your next home, an investment home, or you're refinancing, let American Financing customize the right loan program for you.

01:50:12.420 This is, you're not going to be talking to a salesperson when you call up and you go to a bank loan.

01:50:19.560 You know, gee, I hope they give us the loan.

01:50:21.260 No, no, they're selling you a loan.

01:50:23.380 You're paying a lot for that service.

01:50:26.740 They're not giving you a gift.

01:50:28.980 At American Financing, they don't, their salespeople, if you will, are not salespeople.

01:50:34.820 They're customer service representatives.

01:50:36.340 And so, when you are there, they're working for you, and they're going to the banks, and they're saying, this one, this one, this one, what's going to happen?

01:50:44.140 This is the best loan we can find.

01:50:45.960 It fits your financial needs.

01:50:47.780 And they're not making money on that deal with you.

01:50:50.480 They're licensed in all 50 states.
