00:00:00.200 The Blaze Radio Network, on demand.
00:00:08.440 Our sponsor of this half hour is Brickhouse Nutrition.
00:00:12.260 Brickhouse Nutrition is, of course, you've been a friend of the program for a while now.
00:00:16.100 I've been talking about him since back in the Pat and Stew days.
00:00:18.740 And it was a, it's a great, it's a great company.
00:00:21.420 And one of the things that they do really well is make sure you can actually,
00:00:25.260 they understand how we are, which is we don't want to be healthy.
00:00:29.500 I don't.
00:00:30.040 I don't want to take the steps to be healthy.
00:00:31.860 I mean, here's the thing.
00:00:32.680 Super easy.
00:00:32.920 This turns me off.
00:00:34.220 Field of Greens, full serving of real certified vegan, vegetarian, and USDA organic fruits and vegetables,
00:00:41.740 complete with antioxidants.
00:00:43.140 Well, not to add steak to the vegetable.
00:00:44.840 No, I know, I know, but all those words.
00:00:47.020 Here's what sells me.
00:00:48.420 I don't have to eat my greens.
00:00:51.480 I get them in this.
00:00:52.660 And so I don't have to have a salad.
00:00:54.920 No.
00:00:55.720 Eat your broccoli.
00:00:56.680 No.
00:00:57.480 All I have to do is have this.

00:01:08.280 Glenn, back.
00:01:09.920 First it's France, then it is the Germans.
00:01:13.500 The Europeans are finally starting to get it.
00:01:17.260 Last week, the French president mentioned the idea of creating a European army.
00:01:22.760 Yay!
00:01:24.260 Because Europe with arms has never caused any problems.
00:01:30.040 Yesterday, German Chancellor Angela Merkel backed him up saying, quote,
00:01:33.900 We have to work on the vision of one day creating a real European army.
00:01:38.680 Really?
00:01:39.600 One day?
00:01:40.320 You know, it's been 70 years since the end of World War II, and I'm glad that you're finally getting around to it.
00:01:46.900 But Trump called her remarks insulting and told them instead to agree to meet their NATO commitments.
00:01:54.040 Wait, hold it just a sec.
00:01:55.140 Wait a minute.
00:01:55.740 Weren't you the one?
00:01:56.780 Wait, I thought you didn't like NATO.
00:01:58.660 Hold it just a second.
00:01:59.980 You just got me there.
00:02:02.080 You had me at Bring the Troops Home.
00:02:06.860 We are subsidizing half the planet's defense budgets.
00:02:10.660 In fact, we're paying for almost all of it.
00:02:13.620 World War II ended 73 years ago.
00:02:15.840 The Cold War ended two decades ago.
00:02:18.380 Why do we have to hold up Western Europe's deal anymore?
00:02:23.020 I mean, I like having, you know, a bargain with these people, but we're not getting a bargain.
00:02:29.080 We're getting screwed.
00:02:31.480 They have the intellectual, honest conversation about NATO?
00:02:35.020 No.
00:02:35.900 NATO did an outstanding job.
00:02:38.360 It really did.
00:02:39.560 Without it, people in France would be speaking probably German or Russian.
00:02:43.920 NATO was established to combat one enemy.
00:02:47.580 All of its members had one goal, to protect themselves against the Soviet Union.
00:02:52.100 Well, guess what doesn't exist anymore?
00:02:55.040 Now, Russia does, and Russia has its eyes set on Europe.
00:02:59.320 But unless we're actually going to talk about that, and unless Germany isn't saying,
00:03:03.840 well, we've got to protect ourselves against, you know, evil Russia,
00:03:07.840 and by the way, we want to buy all their gas so we can be on their heroin,
00:03:12.400 I'm not interested.
00:03:15.540 So why are we continuing to do this?
00:03:18.500 Why are the NATO members still subsidizing, being subsidized by us?
00:03:26.440 We don't have identifying interests and unifying interests anymore.
00:03:31.880 Do we?
00:03:32.920 Do we?
00:03:34.680 Because I don't know who's for Russia and who's against Russia.
00:03:37.500 I don't know who's for national socialism and who's against national socialism.
00:03:42.260 I don't know how many, for instance, the UK.
00:03:45.600 Are you convinced that the UK can stand against the Islamic Sharia law courts
00:03:52.140 that are already in its country?
00:03:54.420 Because I'm not.
00:03:57.020 As far as policy goes, there hasn't been much to criticize President Trump on
00:04:01.480 with the terrorists, except for the tariffs, I would say.
00:04:04.740 I understand what he's doing here.
00:04:08.860 First, he rocked the world by criticizing NATO during the first year of his
00:04:12.200 administration.
00:04:12.940 Now it looks like he's perpetuating the continued use of the U.S. military
00:04:17.760 as European security blanket that I don't want to provide anymore.
00:04:23.420 Our global helicopter parenting really has to stop.
00:04:26.960 Is there a reason why Japan still hasn't rebuilt their military and relies on us
00:04:30.880 for security?
00:04:31.540 Yeah, they're broke, but so are we.
00:04:35.200 Enough is enough.
00:04:36.880 China is a very big problem, but why not let Japan take their natural place
00:04:41.700 and take the brunt of containing China?
00:04:44.360 Let them foot the bill.
00:04:46.700 How much of the deficit and national debt could we cut by empowering Europe and Japan
00:04:53.120 to take responsibility for themselves?
00:04:55.760 I think it's time to reexamine and think outside of the box,
00:04:58.980 because our debt situation is unsustainable.
00:05:02.580 And quite honestly, I want our troops to come home.
00:05:05.820 I want our troops to concentrate on the problems that we have here.
00:05:08.720 And I don't mean as troops.
00:05:10.720 I mean as good, solid citizens.
00:05:14.540 Europe and Japan, it's time to leave mommy and daddy's basement.
00:05:18.300 I know, I know, it's scary, but even in America, at 26, you're considered adults.
00:05:25.500 You're what, 73?
00:05:27.840 Don't worry.
00:05:29.400 You'll screw it up and we'll be here.
00:05:33.380 We might give you some limited funds on a credit card to help wean you off,
00:05:38.300 but far as I'm concerned, it's time for mommy and daddy to kick them out of the house.
00:05:43.060 The free ride is over.
00:05:44.560 Our thoughts and prayers are with those in California.
00:05:56.700 You know, the death toll is up to 50 now, and there are 250 people missing.
00:06:02.960 It is astonishing what is happening there.
00:06:07.160 And Mercury One is on the ground, and we should be getting an update from Joy Villa,
00:06:17.220 who is our ambassador, and she's on the ground now,
00:06:21.200 trying to make sure that everybody who is helping has enough money, has enough resources.
00:06:27.860 We hope to talk to her a little later on on the program.
00:06:31.520 But, you know, it doesn't take anything huge to help.
00:06:36.100 You know, people feel right now, people feel like, I can't do anything.
00:06:40.260 And yet, you can, unlike ever before.
00:06:43.240 And sometimes, the ability to help comes from the strangest places.
00:06:51.060 If you just don't close your eyes, if you decide to pursue,
00:06:57.460 sometimes where you thought you were going turns out to be a completely different destination.
00:07:05.020 A mysterious typo-ridden email or message appears in your inbox,
00:07:15.480 purportedly from a Nigerian prince or a down-on-his-luck businessman.
00:07:20.460 Now, most people respond one of two ways.
00:07:23.740 You either ignore it, cynical yet amused,
00:07:27.000 or you just fall for it and you lose thousands of dollars to an obvious scam.
00:07:31.160 But something else happened in early 2017.
00:07:36.860 Ben Taylor, he got that message on Facebook.
00:07:40.600 He got it from a man in Monrovia, Liberia.
00:07:43.780 His name was Joel Willey.
00:07:46.260 In the post, it read,
00:07:48.360 My name is Joel. I'm from Liberia, West Africa.
00:07:52.040 I need some assistance from you.
00:07:53.940 Business or financial assistance that will help empower me, DAT.
00:07:58.140 Well, Ben knew full well that most likely he was being scammed.
00:08:03.480 He was skeptical.
00:08:05.180 But he responded anyway, and he said,
00:08:06.880 How can I help?
00:08:08.540 Joel asked him to mail Primo Electronics,
00:08:12.820 cameras, computers, printers, to a shabby building in New Jersey
00:08:16.440 so that he could sell those on the Liberian market
00:08:20.260 and split the profits with Ben.
00:08:22.940 I figured that this was just one of those African internet scams,
00:08:25.780 but I decided to play along and see where it led me.
00:08:28.700 I figured the more time of his that I could waste,
00:08:31.100 the less time that he'd have to spend ripping other people off.
00:08:34.200 So I told him that I didn't have any electronics to send,
00:08:37.280 but I did have a business proposition if he was interested.
00:08:40.600 I told him that I was in the photography business,
00:08:42.620 and that if he'd be willing to take pictures of where he lived
00:08:44.920 and send them to me,
00:08:46.220 I'd pay him for the ones that I liked.
00:08:48.380 He agreed, and the next morning,
00:08:49.920 he sent a few over.
00:08:51.880 They were just terrible.
00:08:52.920 So the resultant photos that Joel sent
00:08:56.980 were two out-of-focus, blurred canopy of trees,
00:09:00.960 half-lit by sunlight,
00:09:02.680 clearly shot with a 15-year-old flip phone.
00:09:06.360 So Ben responded, still warmly,
00:09:09.340 and much to Joel's surprise,
00:09:11.360 mailed him a rose-red Vivitar camera,
00:09:14.600 instructing him to send more photos.
00:09:17.460 Joel, overjoyed, replied,
00:09:19.520 I've decided to really commit and devote myself
00:09:22.860 to D-I-S,
00:09:25.000 dis-business,
00:09:26.440 and whatever picture you want me to take.
00:09:29.960 Still skeptical,
00:09:31.420 Ben told Joel that his photography needed some work.
00:09:34.840 Well, the pictures were a little better quality,
00:09:36.940 but they still suck.
00:09:38.480 So I said to him that if he wanted to make money
00:09:40.640 taking pictures,
00:09:41.520 he needed to practice.
00:09:43.020 He needed to hold the camera still
00:09:44.540 and make sure his subject had plenty of likes.
00:09:46.520 So Ben was genuinely surprised
00:09:48.620 when he received a batch full
00:09:50.420 of really good, stunning photos.
00:09:54.760 Eventually, Joel did get better.
00:09:57.160 Yeah, these are actually pretty good.
00:09:58.820 Which posed a big problem.
00:10:01.300 When he put in the work,
00:10:02.560 I thought, oh no,
00:10:04.020 now I've got to figure out a way
00:10:04.980 to compensate Joel for these pictures,
00:10:07.420 or I'm going to be the scammer.
00:10:09.000 Scammer.
00:10:10.600 That was Ben in an interview on CBS News.
00:10:13.100 But Ben decided to design a small book
00:10:16.640 with the photos,
00:10:17.400 entitled it By Degrace of God.
00:10:21.120 Now Ben thought that, you know,
00:10:22.540 they'd sell a few copies and move on,
00:10:24.160 but the sales kind of exceeded
00:10:27.000 everybody's expectations.
00:10:28.880 And soon, Ben had $1,000 in profits.
00:10:32.920 I made a promise to Joel
00:10:34.080 that we'd split the profits 50-50
00:10:35.820 and that my half would go to charity.
00:10:37.800 So I wrote to Joel and said
00:10:39.060 that I wanted to give my portion
00:10:40.220 to the people of Liberia
00:10:41.420 and asked if there was anything in his community
00:10:43.220 that I could help with.
00:10:44.780 He said that there were a lot of children
00:10:46.440 that were in need
00:10:47.120 because their parents were so poor.
00:10:49.440 So I asked,
00:10:50.080 how can we help the children?
00:10:51.640 And he said,
00:10:52.260 school materials,
00:10:53.260 stationery, book bags, chairs.
00:10:55.500 These are the things
00:10:56.260 that children suffer for the most.
00:10:58.800 He said that we should start
00:10:59.700 by targeting the youngest 100 kids
00:11:01.580 and that it would cost me about $500.
00:11:04.320 I thought this is where
00:11:05.060 we're really going to find out
00:11:06.000 what Joel's made out of.
00:11:07.280 Either he's going to use that money
00:11:08.340 for the kids
00:11:09.020 or he's going to keep it for himself.
00:11:11.340 But I still owe him money
00:11:12.600 so I decided to move forward
00:11:14.080 and see what happens.
00:11:16.720 Joel agreed.
00:11:18.260 Ben just shrugged.
00:11:20.060 He walked the cash to Western Union
00:11:21.900 and sent it off
00:11:22.680 into what he assumed would,
00:11:23.800 you know,
00:11:24.040 be the abyss
00:11:24.920 never to be seen
00:11:25.740 or heard from again.
00:11:27.680 But after a few weeks,
00:11:29.480 he received another package
00:11:31.120 of photos.
00:11:33.200 These photos were colorful,
00:11:35.440 filled with life,
00:11:36.440 poignant, enlivening.
00:11:38.660 In them
00:11:39.320 were school children praying.
00:11:42.280 They were saying
00:11:42.980 a thankful prayer
00:11:43.960 for their new book bags
00:11:45.320 and notebooks
00:11:45.920 and their sharp new outfits.
00:11:48.720 All smiling.
00:11:54.440 Sometimes life takes
00:11:56.060 surprising turns.
00:11:59.120 Look for the opportunities
00:12:00.540 to change the world.
00:12:04.180 Sponsored this half hour
00:12:05.360 is LifeLock.
00:12:07.420 In the hands
00:12:07.960 of identity thieves,
00:12:09.160 your social security number
00:12:10.520 could lead to all kinds
00:12:12.080 of problems.
00:12:12.940 So be smart
00:12:13.840 with your social security number.
00:12:15.380 For example,
00:12:15.800 if someone emails you
00:12:17.200 with a scam,
00:12:18.220 don't respond to them.
00:12:20.080 We just gave you
00:12:20.860 the one time it worked out.
00:12:22.100 Okay?
00:12:22.800 Every other time
00:12:23.720 you get scammed.
00:12:24.560 It really is.
00:12:25.200 It really is.
00:12:26.140 But he was smart about it.
00:12:27.480 No, he kept,
00:12:28.040 he didn't give him
00:12:28.520 any information.
00:12:29.420 He didn't make it.
00:12:30.040 Right.
00:12:30.520 And it wound up
00:12:31.060 turning out to be
00:12:31.760 a great story.
00:12:32.580 But I mean,
00:12:32.860 people really are victims
00:12:34.020 of this all the time.
00:12:35.240 I mean,
00:12:35.380 especially people
00:12:36.420 who are maybe
00:12:36.820 are not as aware
00:12:38.240 on the internet
00:12:38.700 and they're not,
00:12:39.600 they're not used to this.
00:12:40.420 This is still
00:12:41.500 a flourishing business.
00:12:43.020 Yeah.
00:12:43.140 Somebody,
00:12:43.580 somebody got a hold
00:12:44.640 of my contact list
00:12:46.680 and sent me,
00:12:48.140 actually a friend's
00:12:48.860 contact list
00:12:49.460 and sent me an email
00:12:51.240 supposedly from him.
00:12:52.660 That happened to me
00:12:53.040 once too.
00:12:53.460 And said,
00:12:54.080 hey,
00:12:54.360 I'm,
00:12:54.640 I'm like,
00:12:55.440 I'll explain later,
00:12:56.740 but I'm in Mexico.
00:12:58.060 I just got,
00:12:59.400 I was in jail,
00:13:00.860 blah, blah, blah.
00:13:01.440 Can you get me out?
00:13:01.940 And I'm like,
00:13:02.360 this guy's in jail
00:13:03.780 in Mexico?
00:13:04.520 What?
00:13:05.300 And I almost,
00:13:06.800 I mean,
00:13:06.980 my first instinct was,
00:13:08.560 oh,
00:13:09.100 I got to help him
00:13:09.760 because I know this guy
00:13:11.800 is a really good guy.
00:13:12.920 And nope,
00:13:14.300 a few days,
00:13:15.140 I didn't
00:13:15.800 because my wife went,
00:13:17.320 that sounds like a scam.
00:13:19.660 And I wrote back to him,
00:13:21.380 didn't get anything back
00:13:22.640 that would verify anything
00:13:24.980 that I knew about him.
00:13:26.820 Found out later,
00:13:27.800 somebody had got into his phone
00:13:29.760 and taken all of his stuff
00:13:31.960 and was,
00:13:32.780 was bilking all of his friends.
00:13:34.620 All right.

00:14:30.240 Hey,
00:14:30.940 you know,
00:14:31.120 we always hear bad things
00:14:32.140 about Hollywood.
00:14:33.480 May I share something
00:14:34.880 quite shocking,
00:14:37.080 actually?
00:14:38.100 Hollywood stars
00:14:39.020 celebrated
00:14:39.880 a fundraiser
00:14:41.560 for the Israeli army
00:14:43.520 last week
00:14:44.220 in Los Angeles.
00:14:45.940 What?
00:14:46.620 Yeah.
00:14:47.380 Right?
00:14:48.200 No wonder
00:14:48.800 that state is burning down.
00:14:50.160 Right.
00:14:51.300 We're going to
00:14:51.680 some of the comments
00:14:54.080 are about that.
00:14:54.760 What a surprise.
00:14:56.620 People don't,
00:14:57.700 you know,
00:14:57.840 there's a lot of people
00:14:58.560 out there that just
00:14:59.180 do not like Jews
00:15:00.100 no matter what they do.
00:15:01.020 So organized by
00:15:03.380 friends of the
00:15:04.140 Israeli defense forces
00:15:05.460 and attended by
00:15:06.880 Ashton Kutcher,
00:15:08.780 Gerard Butler,
00:15:10.660 and Andy Garcia.
00:15:14.460 Wow.
00:15:15.340 I know.
00:15:15.800 There's somebody else
00:15:16.820 in this story,
00:15:17.740 too.
00:15:18.640 But now they're,
00:15:20.140 you know,
00:15:21.240 now the Palestinians
00:15:22.340 are coming against
00:15:24.020 them and they're
00:15:24.920 very,
00:15:25.280 very upset about it.
00:15:27.560 It's hard to imagine.
00:15:29.020 Do you see some of
00:15:29.400 the footage from Israel
00:15:30.400 this past day or two
00:15:32.460 where it's just
00:15:33.320 raining rockets?
00:15:35.900 Yeah,
00:15:36.060 nobody's covering it.
00:15:36.780 They don't know exactly
00:15:37.620 how you could not
00:15:39.900 think that they need
00:15:40.760 a defense.
00:15:41.280 You could say Israel
00:15:41.980 does things you don't
00:15:42.780 like.
00:15:43.100 I mean,
00:15:43.300 this thing seemed to
00:15:44.360 have started,
00:15:44.900 and we covered it
00:15:45.440 yesterday,
00:15:46.320 with them in the
00:15:47.840 middle of a peace
00:15:48.400 agreement attempting
00:15:49.320 some sort of
00:15:50.760 assassination.
00:15:52.120 I mean,
00:15:52.260 that was at least
00:15:52.740 the story that was,
00:15:53.800 was,
00:15:54.380 we talked about
00:15:55.260 yesterday.
00:15:55.740 Yeah,
00:15:55.860 they don't know
00:15:56.240 if it was a
00:15:56.600 kidnapping of a Hamas
00:15:57.760 leader.
00:15:58.240 Of a Hamas leader.
00:15:58.820 Now,
00:15:58.940 look,
00:15:59.100 obviously,
00:15:59.360 I think,
00:15:59.760 you know,
00:16:00.040 Hamas leaders
00:16:00.540 deserve that.
00:16:01.420 However,
00:16:02.080 that's apparently
00:16:03.720 what ticked off
00:16:04.480 this last round.
00:16:05.500 So you can even say
00:16:06.380 that Israel was at
00:16:07.280 fault here in some way,
00:16:08.220 but still,
00:16:08.720 if you're a normal
00:16:09.820 citizen,
00:16:10.580 you're living in Israel,
00:16:11.980 you had nothing to do
00:16:12.700 with the military
00:16:13.260 operations of your
00:16:14.220 country,
00:16:14.560 and you're getting
00:16:15.120 shelled by rockets
00:16:16.060 all the time,
00:16:16.680 and this happens
00:16:17.160 whether there's an
00:16:18.080 incident or not,
00:16:19.740 it's hard to imagine
00:16:20.900 that you don't think
00:16:21.520 that they should be
00:16:21.920 able to have some
00:16:22.360 defense.
00:16:23.340 So could we switch
00:16:24.360 subjects here and
00:16:25.400 go to the White
00:16:26.140 House and find out
00:16:27.560 what the east wing
00:16:29.300 of the White House
00:16:30.380 was doing?
00:16:31.660 Yesterday.
00:16:32.280 This Mira Ricardel
00:16:33.480 story?
00:16:33.760 Yes.
00:16:34.200 What a bizarre one
00:16:35.500 this is.
00:16:35.900 I have never seen
00:16:36.800 anything like that
00:16:37.940 would happen yesterday.
00:16:38.920 If you don't know
00:16:40.040 the story,
00:16:40.380 this is John Bolton's
00:16:41.320 number two,
00:16:42.000 basically,
00:16:42.940 and in the middle
00:16:44.900 of the day,
00:16:45.480 kind of out of
00:16:45.960 nowhere with no
00:16:46.800 real lead up,
00:16:48.200 the office of the
00:16:49.600 first lady made a
00:16:50.780 statement saying that
00:16:52.060 she no longer had
00:16:53.460 the honor to serve
00:16:54.960 in this White House
00:16:55.600 and she should be
00:16:57.140 fired, basically.
00:16:58.480 And then there was
00:16:59.100 a report from the
00:16:59.640 Wall Street Journal
00:17:00.140 that she had been
00:17:00.780 escorted off the
00:17:01.620 premises, which
00:17:02.340 was not true.
00:17:03.060 Later on, they
00:17:03.720 said they were
00:17:05.900 planning on doing
00:17:06.560 it, but they were
00:17:06.900 giving her time to
00:17:07.440 clean out her desk.
00:17:08.240 So, I mean,
00:17:08.900 basically, she's out.
00:17:10.520 So it's fascinating.
00:17:11.440 Here is the here's
00:17:12.240 the story that I have.
00:17:13.240 One source familiar
00:17:14.100 with the situation
00:17:14.760 said, Ricardel's firing
00:17:16.780 is due in part to her
00:17:19.980 bullying of aides,
00:17:21.480 both and below her.
00:17:23.120 Current former
00:17:23.740 colleagues paint a
00:17:25.180 picture of a
00:17:25.980 committed conservative
00:17:26.940 and national security
00:17:28.100 expert with a strong
00:17:29.000 personality.
00:17:30.220 One former colleague
00:17:31.040 described her as
00:17:32.240 someone who doesn't
00:17:33.180 suffer fools or have
00:17:34.920 a nuanced touch when
00:17:36.040 it comes to
00:17:36.620 navigating the
00:17:37.700 shoals of
00:17:38.060 international politics.
00:17:39.220 she had apparently
00:17:42.160 a feud going on
00:17:43.460 between John Kelly
00:17:45.040 and and his
00:17:47.980 deputy and then
00:17:49.680 locked horns with
00:17:51.120 James Mattis.
00:17:52.780 Yeah, these are not
00:17:54.500 good decisions.
00:17:55.180 These were not good
00:17:56.060 decisions.
00:17:56.500 And then there was a
00:17:57.700 spat over the first
00:17:59.160 lady's trip to Africa,
00:18:00.400 apparently about the
00:18:01.880 seating on the plane,
00:18:03.060 you know, and and
00:18:05.960 and she they were
00:18:07.580 not booking they
00:18:09.180 were not booking
00:18:09.940 hotel rooms for the
00:18:12.120 first lady's staff
00:18:13.920 when they would go.
00:18:14.700 I mean, it's just like
00:18:15.420 romper room stuff.
00:18:16.820 Well, yeah, and that
00:18:17.320 story came out.
00:18:17.900 It was focused
00:18:18.660 amazingly mainly on
00:18:19.780 John Kelly yesterday.
00:18:21.340 And I you have to
00:18:22.520 believe these two
00:18:23.180 stories are tied
00:18:23.880 together.
00:18:24.180 They may have
00:18:24.820 believed Mira Ricardel
00:18:26.560 was one of the
00:18:27.320 sources for that
00:18:28.820 story.
00:18:29.560 That's another reason
00:18:30.760 she was the White
00:18:32.060 House was saying that
00:18:32.740 she is linked to
00:18:33.880 some of the leaks
00:18:34.900 of stories lately,
00:18:37.220 which is it just
00:18:38.900 look, these things
00:18:40.420 have happened at a
00:18:41.300 pace that is it's
00:18:42.960 outpaced any recent
00:18:44.760 White House as far
00:18:45.740 as, you know, high
00:18:46.420 level departures.
00:18:47.280 And that's not
00:18:47.720 necessarily a surprise.
00:18:49.360 You know, it's not
00:18:51.000 unexpected going into
00:18:52.100 this, but we haven't
00:18:54.460 seen Melania get
00:18:55.640 involved in this at
00:18:56.620 all.
00:18:56.940 But you haven't seen
00:18:57.680 anybody take on
00:18:58.600 Melania except the
00:18:59.440 Trump, except for the
00:19:00.520 press.
00:19:01.700 I mean, and even the
00:19:02.280 press, you know,
00:19:03.140 you just, I mean,
00:19:04.060 what part of you
00:19:05.180 doesn't understand
00:19:06.460 happy wife, happy
00:19:08.640 life?
00:19:09.740 Everybody knows
00:19:10.460 that it's the
00:19:11.480 president of the
00:19:12.480 United States who
00:19:13.600 tends to be a
00:19:14.560 little grumpy from
00:19:15.700 time to time as it
00:19:16.880 is.
00:19:17.620 Don't make his home
00:19:18.900 life more grumpy.
00:19:20.600 He's got a lot of,
00:19:21.680 you know, big
00:19:22.220 problems to deal
00:19:22.980 with in the world.
00:19:23.960 And the seating of
00:19:25.200 her staff on a
00:19:26.300 plane or her not
00:19:27.820 having, you know,
00:19:29.020 hotel rooms because
00:19:30.240 you didn't book it
00:19:31.380 because you don't
00:19:32.340 like her staff.
00:19:33.640 When he's going in
00:19:35.100 to meet with
00:19:35.920 somebody and he's
00:19:37.540 got all of that
00:19:38.160 stuff going on, you
00:19:39.300 think you want him
00:19:40.200 returning to his
00:19:41.100 hotel room and have
00:19:42.200 his wife go, you
00:19:43.400 know what, somebody
00:19:44.080 on your staff.
00:19:45.100 That's when a guy
00:19:46.860 just says, make it
00:19:48.780 go away.
00:19:49.780 Make this stop.
00:19:51.520 And apparently
00:19:52.740 that's what he did
00:19:53.560 yesterday.
00:19:54.020 That's what happens
00:19:54.320 with a lot of high
00:19:55.000 level executives.
00:19:55.520 You know, and
00:19:56.700 everybody's been
00:19:57.600 through this, right?
00:19:58.400 Like you have a
00:19:59.240 situation where you're
00:20:00.000 in the middle of
00:20:00.500 something really
00:20:01.260 serious.
00:20:01.780 I don't know, some
00:20:02.680 tax issue or some
00:20:04.160 massive problem going
00:20:05.240 on with your house.
00:20:05.940 And that's the
00:20:06.780 moment your two kids
00:20:08.120 decide they're going
00:20:09.680 to have an argument
00:20:10.500 about something
00:20:11.500 completely inane.
00:20:13.100 And you just need
00:20:14.780 it to stop right now.
00:20:15.860 You don't care what
00:20:16.420 the solution is.
00:20:17.300 You don't care who's
00:20:18.000 right or who's wrong.
00:20:19.340 Get it out of my
00:20:20.240 face.
00:20:20.580 Do you realize I've
00:20:21.220 got something really
00:20:21.900 important to do?
00:20:23.020 And that's when you're
00:20:23.740 an executive like that.
00:20:24.740 The people who are
00:20:25.760 under you, it is
00:20:27.300 their job to make
00:20:29.040 sure they don't
00:20:29.720 complicate your life
00:20:30.780 so that you are
00:20:31.420 focusing on things
00:20:32.440 other than your job.
00:20:33.980 So stupid.
00:20:35.020 Why would you do
00:20:35.820 that?
00:20:36.760 So it is odd and
00:20:38.500 it's never been done
00:20:39.140 before.
00:20:39.620 But if this is the
00:20:41.120 story behind it,
00:20:42.620 it's completely
00:20:43.580 understandable.
00:20:44.360 We welcome Mr. Pat
00:20:55.400 Gray to the radio
00:20:56.840 extravaganza today.

00:21:13.020 And you?
00:21:13.520 Well, I'm good.
00:21:15.220 I've got a great
00:21:15.820 story about Pink's
00:21:18.620 husband who...
00:21:20.280 Pink, the...
00:21:21.340 Yeah, singer.
00:21:22.100 A singer.
00:21:22.580 Yeah.
00:21:22.940 Okay.
00:21:23.560 Pink, do you know
00:21:24.640 another Pink?
00:21:25.920 Yes.
00:21:26.460 Okay.
00:21:26.720 I know several
00:21:27.300 Pinks.
00:21:27.680 Okay.
00:21:28.540 So I had to really...
00:21:29.840 I had to pin it down.
00:21:30.860 Yeah.
00:21:31.380 Right?
00:21:32.060 Anyway, so...
00:21:33.240 But that didn't really
00:21:34.240 clarify when I said
00:21:35.300 the singer, did it?
00:21:36.320 So anyway, her
00:21:40.720 husband took to
00:21:42.340 Instagram and showed
00:21:43.860 some pictures of
00:21:44.760 some pretty tough
00:21:46.540 hombres, if you
00:21:47.940 will, in Malibu
00:21:49.820 with guns and a
00:21:51.920 sign that said
00:21:52.840 looters will be
00:21:53.860 shot.
00:21:55.420 How insensitive
00:21:55.940 and how reckless.
00:21:57.540 How...
00:21:58.020 When is this going
00:21:58.840 to stop?
00:21:59.600 I mean, when is
00:22:01.380 enough enough?
00:22:02.300 Mm-hmm.
00:22:02.860 When is enough
00:22:03.740 enough?
00:22:04.940 Malibu?
00:22:05.440 How did you...
00:22:05.880 How did you even
00:22:06.960 get a gun into
00:22:07.720 Malibu?
00:22:09.020 Why would you
00:22:09.800 have a gun in
00:22:10.620 Malibu?
00:22:11.700 You're next to,
00:22:13.240 you know, to
00:22:14.100 Barbra Streisand.
00:22:15.460 Things should be
00:22:16.000 fine.
00:22:17.440 No, I mean,
00:22:17.980 you don't need
00:22:18.700 guns.
00:22:19.720 Anyway, we'll get
00:22:20.320 to that in a little
00:22:20.800 while.
00:22:21.460 Pat, what's on
00:22:22.260 your plate today?
00:22:23.120 Oh, so much.
00:22:24.860 For one thing,
00:22:26.500 did you know
00:22:26.880 there's a CEO
00:22:27.800 of the Democratic
00:22:28.840 National Committee?
00:22:30.640 There's a CEO,
00:22:31.600 not just the head,
00:22:32.560 who is Perez,
00:22:34.240 there's a CEO
00:22:35.460 of the Democrat
00:22:36.500 National Committee,
00:22:37.640 and her name
00:22:39.480 is Seema Nanda.
00:22:41.200 I didn't know
00:22:42.300 Seema, and I
00:22:43.140 didn't know
00:22:43.740 about Hernanda,
00:22:44.820 and I didn't know
00:22:46.240 she was the CEO
00:22:47.000 of the Democratic
00:22:47.740 Party.
00:22:47.940 Right, there's a lot
00:22:48.580 here you didn't
00:22:49.220 know so far,
00:22:49.800 but I have a feeling
00:22:51.340 there's more to
00:22:52.260 the story.
00:22:52.880 Well, she was
00:22:53.560 asked by Yahoo
00:22:55.320 News about who's
00:22:57.540 welcome in the
00:22:58.440 Democrat Party,
00:22:59.320 and here's what
00:23:00.580 she said.
00:23:01.040 Is there room
00:23:02.800 for socialists
00:23:04.200 in the Democratic
00:23:04.940 Party?
00:23:05.720 Oh, sure.
00:23:06.400 You know, I think
00:23:07.280 we can get involved
00:23:10.280 in what we all
00:23:11.680 call ourselves.
00:23:12.660 I think there's
00:23:13.340 room for all
00:23:14.460 sorts of Democrats
00:23:15.520 in the Democratic
00:23:16.560 Party.
00:23:17.160 What does that mean?
00:23:17.940 I think we can get
00:23:18.920 involved in what we
00:23:19.860 call ourselves.
00:23:20.780 What does that mean?
00:23:21.580 I don't know,
00:23:22.120 especially from the
00:23:23.040 party that is
00:23:24.820 doing, is only
00:23:26.020 slicing and dicing
00:23:27.060 everybody into groups.
00:23:28.300 Right.
00:23:28.660 You know what I
00:23:29.160 mean?
00:23:29.420 You know, I think
00:23:30.240 we can talk about
00:23:31.120 what we call
00:23:32.900 ourselves.
00:23:34.480 That's a great
00:23:34.920 point.
00:23:36.300 They're going to
00:23:36.840 say no labels
00:23:37.640 now?
00:23:38.060 This is all they
00:23:38.740 talk about all
00:23:39.480 the time.
00:23:40.060 These are the
00:23:40.520 people that
00:23:40.900 brought us
00:23:41.340 LGBT,
00:23:42.340 IQ,
00:23:43.780 identity
00:23:44.200 politicians.
00:23:45.680 That's what
00:23:45.920 they're all
00:23:46.520 about.
00:23:47.960 Plus, the better
00:23:48.900 question for the
00:23:49.540 Democrat Party
00:23:50.120 is, are there
00:23:51.240 Democrats allowed
00:23:52.180 in the Socialist?
00:23:52.940 Is there room
00:23:53.480 for Democrats
00:23:54.120 anymore in the
00:23:54.820 Socialist Party?
00:23:56.380 Because the
00:23:57.240 Socialists have
00:23:57.880 taken over that
00:23:58.420 party.
00:23:59.120 I mean, is
00:24:00.040 there any doubt
00:24:00.800 in anybody's
00:24:01.540 mind that it's
00:24:02.480 become a party
00:24:03.460 of Socialists?
00:24:04.160 Yes, in a lot
00:24:05.440 of people in the
00:24:06.080 press, their mind.
00:24:06.980 I saw an article
00:24:07.580 today that
00:24:08.320 Sinema is a,
00:24:11.180 she won because
00:24:12.360 she's such a
00:24:13.260 centrist.
00:24:13.840 Oh my gosh.
00:24:15.360 Oh good golly.
00:24:16.740 Really?
00:24:17.080 I mean, she
00:24:17.300 definitely tried to
00:24:18.300 play herself as a
00:24:19.360 centrist.
00:24:19.620 She is not a
00:24:20.260 centrist.
00:24:20.520 She's not a
00:24:21.080 centrist.
00:24:21.660 She's no more
00:24:22.220 centrist than Beto
00:24:23.160 was.
00:24:23.520 Hang on just a
00:24:24.140 second.
00:24:24.440 Just because she
00:24:25.160 was a member of
00:24:25.900 Code Pink doesn't
00:24:27.000 make her.
00:24:27.340 And that's another
00:24:30.100 thing.
00:24:30.580 They are so
00:24:31.180 extreme in that
00:24:32.380 party.
00:24:33.380 I think we could
00:24:34.160 learn some
00:24:34.560 interesting lessons
00:24:36.000 from the Democrats
00:24:37.680 and how they've won
00:24:38.680 so many battles.
00:24:40.020 I mean, they've
00:24:40.400 just Overton
00:24:41.160 windowed us on
00:24:42.140 absolutely everything.
00:24:44.340 We need to start
00:24:44.980 doing that on the
00:24:46.240 right.
00:24:46.960 We need to start
00:24:47.700 insisting on.
00:24:49.260 We won't.
00:24:49.840 I know we won't.
00:24:50.660 Yeah, you know
00:24:51.020 why?
00:24:51.320 We need to.
00:24:51.960 I really am
00:24:52.700 convinced because
00:24:53.400 people like Paul
00:24:54.240 Ryan don't believe
00:24:55.840 in the stuff that
00:24:56.600 we believe.
00:24:57.060 They don't believe
00:24:57.780 in a don't believe
00:24:58.980 in real conservatism.
00:25:00.140 Yeah, they don't
00:25:00.760 believe in strict
00:25:01.880 adherence to the
00:25:02.740 Constitution.
00:25:03.700 They don't believe
00:25:04.300 that.
00:25:05.020 And, you know,
00:25:05.280 that's a cute
00:25:05.840 little thing, but
00:25:06.360 we got to do what
00:25:06.980 we got to do.
00:25:07.600 So they won't
00:25:08.280 Overton window.
00:25:09.280 I would love to
00:25:10.220 Overton window and
00:25:11.180 say, you know what?
00:25:12.000 Let's reset this to
00:25:13.180 1791 kind of style.
00:25:15.840 Like, gosh, can you
00:25:16.920 imagine?
00:25:17.520 They would go
00:25:17.880 crazy, crazy.
00:25:19.380 And then if you
00:25:20.660 were like, OK, well,
00:25:21.940 we just want to get
00:25:22.700 rid of the Department
00:25:23.540 of Education.
00:25:24.460 They would be, oh,
00:25:25.440 OK, all right.
00:25:26.480 Finally, some sane
00:25:27.480 people around.
00:25:29.180 Yeah.
00:25:29.440 Yeah.
00:25:29.640 Start with how
00:25:30.200 about zero abortions
00:25:31.440 for any reason ever?
00:25:32.860 Let's start there.
00:25:33.840 And when babies come
00:25:35.380 out of the birth canal,
00:25:36.620 they're given an AR-15
00:25:38.420 at birth.
00:25:39.920 OK, let's start
00:25:41.580 there.
00:25:41.960 Start there.
00:25:42.660 OK, on abortions
00:25:44.380 and gun control.
00:25:45.280 That's where we begin.
00:25:46.440 Yeah, I think.
00:25:46.820 And what we do is
00:25:47.540 we start with the
00:25:48.540 AK-47 is fully loaded
00:25:50.080 and then we compromise
00:25:51.840 to they have to load
00:25:53.120 it themselves when
00:25:53.820 they load it.
00:25:54.420 Right.
00:25:55.100 Right.
00:25:55.820 Then it's a
00:25:56.920 bipartisan solution.
00:25:58.220 Exactly.
00:25:58.860 Right.
00:25:59.260 Exactly.
00:25:59.920 And then we start
00:26:00.620 arguing with them
00:26:01.400 when they have a
00:26:02.240 problem with some
00:26:02.900 of our solutions.
00:26:03.620 You know, I think
00:26:04.460 this really is what
00:26:06.320 they've done.
00:26:06.980 It is what they've
00:26:07.780 done.
00:26:07.980 Tell me they have
00:26:09.480 unveiled plans for
00:26:12.240 guaranteed jobs,
00:26:15.000 guaranteed housing,
00:26:16.820 Yeah, that is
00:26:17.840 yes, that is
00:26:18.660 directly from
00:26:19.880 the Soviet
00:26:20.600 it's from the
00:26:21.760 Soviet Constitution.
00:26:23.240 Remember when they
00:26:24.080 started saying
00:26:24.680 $15 minimum wage
00:26:26.280 and how ridiculous
00:26:26.980 it sounded?
00:26:28.020 And then I was
00:26:28.780 watching something
00:26:29.460 Stossel did for
00:26:30.580 Reason yesterday
00:26:31.640 and it's all about
00:26:32.700 how Amazon
00:26:33.440 came out
00:26:34.720 and they
00:26:35.200 they were getting
00:26:35.960 criticized
00:26:36.340 and everyone
00:26:37.020 wanted a $15
00:26:37.640 minimum wage
00:26:38.320 and they fought
00:26:38.920 back for a little
00:26:39.480 while and then
00:26:40.040 they said,
00:26:40.420 oh, all right,
00:26:41.700 $15 minimum wage.
00:26:42.800 Then they started
00:26:43.940 harassing other
00:26:44.760 companies to match.
00:26:46.260 Then they said
00:26:46.760 they're going to
00:26:47.260 lobby Congress
00:26:48.220 to raise the
00:26:49.000 minimum wage to
00:26:49.680 $15.
00:26:50.580 And of course,
00:26:51.520 Stossel completely
00:26:52.260 right on this
00:26:52.820 point is this is
00:26:53.900 just good for
00:26:54.660 Amazon.
00:26:55.280 If every other
00:26:56.200 company has to
00:26:57.120 raise theirs to
00:26:58.560 $15, they're
00:26:59.200 already paying
00:26:59.500 $15 an hour.
00:27:00.640 Everyone else
00:27:01.040 gets forced to
00:27:01.640 raise it.
00:27:01.900 It's just going to
00:27:02.220 give an advantage
00:27:02.840 to Amazon.
00:27:03.500 And now exactly
00:27:04.140 what they did
00:27:04.720 with the progressives
00:27:05.480 in World War II.
00:27:06.420 They put out
00:27:07.340 great car companies,
00:27:09.380 great tire companies,
00:27:11.080 great manufacturers,
00:27:12.120 because GM,
00:27:13.560 Chrysler,
00:27:14.560 and Ford all
00:27:16.160 got together and
00:27:17.100 said, this is what
00:27:18.140 we think that the
00:27:20.080 country should
00:27:20.680 mandate for
00:27:22.560 manufacturing.
00:27:24.280 And so it was
00:27:25.120 good for the big
00:27:25.840 three because they
00:27:26.580 could afford it.
00:27:27.480 And they put
00:27:27.980 everyone else out
00:27:29.060 of business.
00:27:29.600 That's what's
00:27:30.080 happening again.
00:27:31.560 Alex Epstein has
00:27:32.500 made this case
00:27:32.940 before.
00:27:33.340 He wrote the
00:27:33.920 moral case for
00:27:34.660 fossil fuels.
00:27:35.440 We've had him on
00:27:35.840 the show before.
00:27:36.680 And his point is
00:27:37.620 like we constantly
00:27:38.640 as people who are
00:27:39.740 conservatives and
00:27:40.420 small government are
00:27:41.260 arguing just
00:27:42.080 for a less
00:27:42.680 worse version of
00:27:43.680 what the left
00:27:44.460 is asking for.
00:27:45.740 You look at
00:27:46.400 right now,
00:27:47.060 Obamacare is a
00:27:47.840 great example of
00:27:48.480 this.
00:27:49.180 We were like free
00:27:50.100 market solutions,
00:27:50.840 free market solutions,
00:27:51.640 free market solutions.
00:27:52.400 They're like, oh,
00:27:52.960 we want government,
00:27:53.620 government, government,
00:27:54.280 government.
00:27:54.640 So they come in and
00:27:55.540 they pass Obamacare and
00:27:56.660 it's all going through.
00:27:58.740 And now literally
00:27:59.900 every single member of
00:28:01.460 the Republican Party
00:28:02.620 with, I don't know,
00:28:04.440 a couple of
00:28:05.320 exceptions have now
00:28:06.680 taken large swaths of
00:28:08.200 Obamacare and embraced
00:28:09.100 it.
00:28:09.280 Three states voted to
00:28:10.960 get the Medicare
00:28:11.780 expansion that
00:28:12.760 initially conservative
00:28:13.640 states opposed.
00:28:14.940 The pre-existing
00:28:16.500 conditions thing is
00:28:17.560 part of the platform
00:28:18.680 basically for the
00:28:19.260 Republican Party now.
00:28:20.720 It's because the
00:28:21.280 Republican Party
00:28:22.080 continues to hire
00:28:23.160 people and elect
00:28:23.940 people like Mitt
00:28:24.520 Romney, who is
00:28:25.940 for all of these
00:28:27.420 programs.
00:28:27.840 But Donald Trump's
00:28:28.780 for that too.
00:28:29.320 Oh, I know that.
00:28:29.940 I know that.
00:28:30.160 Well, they're like
00:28:31.640 minded, more like
00:28:32.500 minded than people
00:28:33.260 would believe.
00:28:34.600 Certainly different
00:28:35.160 approaches.
00:28:35.980 Different approaches.
00:28:36.740 Absolutely.
00:28:37.380 He's a nice
00:28:38.300 similar in policies.
00:28:39.240 They're both really
00:28:40.240 moderate Republicans.
00:28:41.320 Correct.
00:28:41.900 He's a nice guy that
00:28:43.160 believes in big
00:28:43.840 government and and
00:28:45.780 Donald Trump believes,
00:28:47.300 you know, a hammer to
00:28:48.500 get things done.
00:28:49.340 Right.
00:28:49.880 But he but they're
00:28:51.080 similar government.
00:28:51.920 Yeah.
00:28:52.180 And, you know, can we
00:28:53.320 talk a little bit about
00:28:54.340 the tariffs?
00:28:55.840 Because there was a
00:28:56.600 new there was a new
00:28:58.280 study that came out
00:28:59.260 that showed where
00:29:00.420 Trump lost is the
00:29:02.820 parts of the country
00:29:03.960 where the tariffs
00:29:05.100 hit people the
00:29:06.820 hardest.
00:29:07.480 Yeah, it's it's an
00:29:08.240 interesting analysis
00:29:08.940 and it's not a huge
00:29:10.620 surprise.
00:29:11.580 You know, the economy
00:29:12.180 is such an important
00:29:12.980 issue and Trump
00:29:13.860 rightly gets some
00:29:15.160 credit for it.
00:29:15.840 And it's been we've
00:29:16.860 been on a great run
00:29:17.660 here for a while.
00:29:18.980 But the issues of
00:29:20.800 when we set these
00:29:21.600 tariffs on China,
00:29:22.580 China responded and
00:29:23.860 they targeted.
00:29:24.540 Remember this?
00:29:25.140 They're like, oh,
00:29:25.560 they targeted these
00:29:26.680 regions and they have
00:29:27.840 political importance to
00:29:29.540 the president and they
00:29:30.300 targeted all of those.
00:29:32.000 And they have now so
00:29:33.500 a lot of these farmers
00:29:34.200 and like Iowa, for
00:29:35.160 example, where the
00:29:35.720 Republicans lost a
00:29:36.580 couple seats in somewhat
00:29:37.540 surprising circumstances
00:29:38.760 were regions where
00:29:40.900 they were exporting
00:29:41.980 tons of material to
00:29:43.780 China and now are no
00:29:44.920 longer doing it.
00:29:45.640 There was one analysis
00:29:46.380 that had, you know,
00:29:47.600 soybean exports, which
00:29:48.760 has got to be the most
00:29:49.580 boring lead into a
00:29:51.180 story in history.
00:29:51.860 But they were down
00:29:52.680 97 percent to China.
00:29:54.600 97 percent wiping out
00:29:55.820 your whole business from
00:29:56.620 one point one billion a
00:29:57.760 month.
00:29:58.020 OK, from about a
00:29:59.140 billion dollars a month
00:30:00.260 to 24 million.
00:30:03.300 Wow.
00:30:04.060 Exports in soybeans to
00:30:05.760 China.
00:30:06.160 This destroys your
00:30:06.940 business.
00:30:07.320 This is your business
00:30:08.060 billion to 24 million.
00:30:10.080 Yeah.
00:30:10.300 You can't do business
00:30:11.700 that way.
00:30:12.200 Yeah, we can.
00:30:12.840 We can do it like FDR and
00:30:13.920 we can subsidize the
00:30:15.120 farming.
00:30:15.660 Well, you're going to
00:30:16.040 have to.
00:30:16.500 Yeah, you're going to
00:30:16.960 have to.
00:30:17.560 You're going to have to.
00:30:18.580 And it's this is why
00:30:19.540 this is why tariffs are
00:30:20.500 so bad.
00:30:21.460 They're just so bad.
00:30:22.760 And it's really
00:30:23.420 kicking in now.
00:30:24.300 Anybody.
00:30:25.340 Yeah.
00:30:25.920 Anybody who supports
00:30:27.400 the president has
00:30:28.720 needs to in the
00:30:30.720 nicest of ways
00:30:32.260 recommend urge
00:30:35.020 the president has
00:30:36.040 won.
00:30:36.860 You've won, Mr.
00:30:37.860 President.
00:30:38.400 You've won.
00:30:39.500 Now let's get rid of
00:30:40.940 these tariffs.
00:30:42.460 And again, tariffs
00:30:43.200 before they ruin the
00:30:43.920 economy, because if you
00:30:45.140 lose the economy, you're
00:30:46.000 going to lose in 2020.
00:30:47.080 He's done.
00:30:47.720 And look, Trump
00:30:48.420 inherently, I think,
00:30:49.320 knows that tax
00:30:50.120 increases hurt the
00:30:50.860 economy.
00:30:51.220 It's why he fought for a
00:30:52.080 tax decrease.
00:30:52.640 Right.
00:30:53.300 But this is a tax
00:30:54.160 increase for whatever
00:30:54.800 reason he's been he's
00:30:56.160 loved forever.
00:30:56.800 He doesn't look at it
00:30:57.260 like that, though.
00:30:57.840 No, he does.
00:30:58.480 And look, because he
00:30:59.440 looks at he looks at
00:31:01.640 the trade deficit,
00:31:02.780 which it is not as a
00:31:04.620 scoreboard.
00:31:05.800 If you're exporting
00:31:07.420 more than you're
00:31:08.540 importing, you win.
00:31:10.120 Well, but that's not
00:31:11.420 true.
00:31:12.340 It's just not true.
00:31:13.560 It's not.
00:31:14.160 So I think now, but
00:31:15.600 again, he ran on this
00:31:16.620 issue.
00:31:17.220 He said he was going to
00:31:18.100 do this and he's doing
00:31:18.900 it.
00:31:19.060 Bigger issue is a more
00:31:20.300 foundational issue.
00:31:21.140 It's way bigger than
00:31:21.900 Trump is that there were
00:31:23.560 a group of people.
00:31:24.300 You know, 1700s ish.
00:31:26.480 They came up with a
00:31:27.300 really good idea that
00:31:28.020 said, you know, maybe
00:31:28.720 we shouldn't be wildly
00:31:29.800 swinging our trade
00:31:31.340 policy back and forth
00:31:32.440 all over the place
00:31:33.280 because if a new
00:31:34.480 president gets in with
00:31:35.180 a different idea and
00:31:35.880 he can control it all,
00:31:36.860 then, you know, that
00:31:37.460 doesn't make any sense.
00:31:38.140 So let's, I don't
00:31:38.960 know, write it in the
00:31:40.820 Constitution that
00:31:42.120 Congress should be
00:31:43.220 handling tariffs.
00:31:44.900 Congress should be
00:31:45.860 handling these issues.
00:31:47.140 It's in the
00:31:48.220 Constitution.
00:31:49.260 What's that?
00:31:49.640 This is not Trump's
00:31:50.820 issue.
00:31:51.400 How old?
00:31:51.740 Was that like this
00:31:52.620 century, though?
00:31:53.200 I don't know.
00:31:53.540 Did we figure that out
00:31:55.680 on Twitter or Facebook?
00:31:56.780 Yeah.
00:31:57.360 When did we do that?
00:31:58.100 It's so unmodern.
00:31:59.040 I've seen people post
00:31:59.880 parts of it on Twitter
00:32:00.660 and Facebook.
00:32:01.520 But the point is that
00:32:02.540 Congress gave up their
00:32:03.620 control to the president.
00:32:04.860 They ceded control.
00:32:05.720 This is Congress's fault.
00:32:07.060 They should take it back.
00:32:07.740 You're doing crazy talk.
00:32:08.640 They can.
00:32:09.040 And they can.
00:32:09.460 They can take it back
00:32:09.980 right now.
00:32:10.300 Crazy talk, Stu.
00:32:10.920 That's crazy talk.
00:32:11.600 So, Pat, one more thing.
00:32:13.700 And I heard on your show
00:32:14.820 driving in today that
00:32:16.020 and this is a really
00:32:17.160 heartwarming story
00:32:18.200 that Michelle Obama
00:32:20.260 is back in the real world.
00:32:21.800 Yeah.
00:32:22.800 Well, it's hard.
00:32:24.060 I can imagine.
00:32:25.080 Things are different
00:32:26.040 than they were in the
00:32:26.680 White House.
00:32:27.060 And they were there
00:32:27.480 for eight years.
00:32:28.040 So they got kind of
00:32:28.740 used to sure making
00:32:30.360 their toast for them
00:32:31.580 and not allowing them
00:32:33.100 to touch anything
00:32:34.120 in the cupboards
00:32:34.780 in the kitchen.
00:32:35.280 When they would come
00:32:35.880 into the kitchen,
00:32:37.060 they'd say,
00:32:37.340 what do you need?
00:32:37.780 What do you will get
00:32:38.340 it for you?
00:32:39.120 And they got it for them.
00:32:40.640 And so they could have
00:32:41.500 said, because other
00:32:43.320 presidents have,
00:32:44.400 no, no, no.
00:32:44.880 No, no.
00:32:45.300 Let me do it.
00:32:45.820 I can do it fine.
00:32:46.620 I'll do this.
00:32:47.320 But no, they didn't do that.
00:32:48.700 So she says,
00:32:50.740 now, here I am
00:32:51.480 in my new home,
00:32:52.240 just me and our four dogs.
00:32:53.700 Well, two dogs,
00:32:54.700 Bo and Sonny.
00:32:55.400 And I do a simple thing.
00:32:56.540 I go downstairs
00:32:57.660 and open the cabinet
00:32:58.820 in my own kitchen,
00:33:00.040 which you don't do
00:33:01.140 in the White House
00:33:01.720 because there's always
00:33:02.780 somebody there going,
00:33:03.860 let me get that.
00:33:05.260 What do you want?
00:33:06.060 Yeah.
00:33:06.260 Not in the private quarters.
00:33:08.660 You can say,
00:33:09.920 you know, go away.
00:33:10.780 Go away.
00:33:11.140 Yeah.
00:33:11.320 She apparently didn't do that.
00:33:13.280 But this time
00:33:13.940 in her own home,
00:33:14.700 she made her own toast.
00:33:15.980 Oh, my gosh.
00:33:16.380 And then,
00:33:17.000 is she okay?
00:33:18.260 She barely made it through.
00:33:19.520 Really?
00:33:19.960 Yeah.
00:33:20.220 Sinsed her fingertips
00:33:21.160 a little bit
00:33:21.660 when she took it out.
00:33:22.300 Good thing she has
00:33:22.840 those toned arms
00:33:25.120 to be able to pull,
00:33:27.040 push the little thing
00:33:28.260 down for the toast.
00:33:29.200 Oh, her arms are magnificent.
00:33:30.320 Have you seen her arms?
00:33:31.120 Oh, my gosh.
00:33:31.460 They are beautiful.
00:33:31.980 They're even more beautiful
00:33:32.620 than they were before.
00:33:33.800 Well, that goes without saying,
00:33:35.160 doesn't it?
00:33:35.540 So with her arms,
00:33:36.800 her beautiful,
00:33:37.520 beautiful arms,
00:33:38.420 she took her toast
00:33:39.740 and walked out
00:33:40.440 into my backyard,
00:33:41.340 she says.
00:33:42.500 There were dogs
00:33:43.300 barking in the distance
00:33:44.340 and I realized
00:33:45.120 Beau and Sonny
00:33:45.800 had really never heard
00:33:46.860 neighbor dogs.
00:33:48.120 Oh, my gosh.
00:33:48.640 Because in the White House,
00:33:49.300 they didn't have any neighbors.
00:33:50.120 Sure, sure, sure.
00:33:51.000 They're like,
00:33:51.680 what's that?
00:33:52.500 What's that?
00:33:52.920 And I'm like,
00:33:54.160 yep,
00:33:54.980 we're in the real world
00:33:56.120 now, fellas.
00:33:56.880 Oh, my gosh.
00:33:57.420 They're in the real world
00:33:58.520 in their $8 million
00:34:00.340 DC home.
00:34:02.140 Wow.
00:34:02.540 With dogs
00:34:03.720 you can only hear
00:34:04.500 in the distance
00:34:05.140 because the neighbors
00:34:05.840 are so far away.
00:34:07.520 That's the real world.
00:34:08.960 And this trailer park
00:34:10.280 trash thing
00:34:11.200 called a toaster.
00:34:12.740 I don't know
00:34:13.620 how they're doing it.
00:34:14.580 Where you have to
00:34:15.420 operate it yourself.
00:34:16.800 That's crazy.
00:34:17.660 I just hope she's not
00:34:18.440 walking around
00:34:19.140 with toast points
00:34:20.180 because those are,
00:34:21.200 toast points can be
00:34:21.780 very dangerous.
00:34:22.600 They're very sharp.
00:34:23.040 Don't run with those.
00:34:23.880 I hear Great Britain
00:34:25.140 is outlawing toast points.
00:34:26.860 Oh, really?
00:34:27.320 Yeah, they got rid of it.
00:34:27.880 The guns
00:34:28.440 and the knives
00:34:29.560 but toast points
00:34:30.700 are still there.
00:34:32.160 And you never know
00:34:33.060 what people are going
00:34:33.740 to do with a toast point.
00:34:35.380 Packery Unleashed
00:34:35.940 on the Blaze Radio
00:34:37.480 and TV Networks.
00:34:38.160 Also available on podcasts
00:34:39.660 wherever podcasts
00:34:40.560 are sold.
00:34:42.280 Thanksgiving is right
00:34:43.040 around the corner.
00:34:43.460 What are you doing
00:34:43.740 for Thanksgiving, Stu?
00:34:44.860 I'm going to my aunt's house
00:34:46.200 and we go every year
00:34:46.960 same place
00:34:47.500 and I'm going to gain
00:34:48.820 35 pounds in one day.
00:34:50.540 That's my goal.
00:34:52.520 Also, I'll be here
00:34:53.260 next week, by the way,
00:34:54.140 doing the program
00:34:55.020 with exception of Thanksgiving.
00:34:56.640 Pat and I are going
00:34:57.460 to be doing some
00:34:58.540 Pat and Stu here
00:34:59.380 on the Glenn Beck program
00:35:00.400 on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
00:35:01.240 and then on Friday
00:35:01.900 I'll be here as well.
00:35:03.700 So I'm kind of excited about that.
00:35:04.820 I'm going up to the mountains
00:35:05.600 and hiding
00:35:06.200 from all of the relatives.
00:35:08.120 So you will not have
00:35:08.960 what you're saying
00:35:09.460 is you will not have access
00:35:10.280 to listen to the show.
00:35:12.040 Like you wouldn't be able
00:35:12.860 to hear it
00:35:13.220 if you wanted to hear it.
00:35:14.040 You wouldn't be checking in
00:35:14.800 or whatever.
00:35:15.200 That's what you're saying.
00:35:15.940 That's exactly what I'm saying.
00:35:17.260 Anyway, Thanksgiving
00:35:17.860 is right around the corner
00:35:18.760 and if you have somebody
00:35:20.120 that you're going to miss
00:35:21.300 being at the table
00:35:21.940 for instance, Stu,
00:35:23.880 I could send Stu flowers
00:35:27.040 and say
00:35:28.120 That'd be great.
00:35:28.960 You know,
00:35:29.600 wish I were there
00:35:30.760 when you don't really mean it.
00:35:32.640 But the flowers
00:35:33.320 would make him feel like,
00:35:34.860 you know,
00:35:35.020 he really does mean that.
00:35:36.180 That'd be really nice.
00:35:36.760 I mean, if I'm going to be here,
00:35:37.380 you're not going to be here.
00:35:38.160 Maybe send some to the studio
00:35:39.160 for 1-800-Flowers.
00:35:39.820 No, hey, I'm thinking about you
00:35:42.060 even though I'm not at all.
00:35:44.200 In fact, I'm celebrating
00:35:45.280 that I'm not at
00:35:46.380 that Thanksgiving table.
00:35:47.920 Okay.
00:35:48.320 I mean, I don't know
00:35:49.060 why you needed to
00:35:49.760 necessarily add that.

00:37:22.260 We might.

00:37:40.000 Sponsor this half hour
00:37:41.000 is Relief Factor.
00:37:42.620 Relief Factor is something
00:37:43.740 that I've been taking
00:37:45.220 for about a year now
00:37:46.460 and I took it
00:37:48.200 in desperation
00:37:49.160 because I've tried
00:37:49.780 everything else
00:37:50.500 to curb my pain
00:37:51.900 and, you know,
00:37:53.360 I was in crippling pain
00:37:54.740 for a long time.
00:37:56.080 Couldn't live that way anymore.
00:37:57.140 Couldn't take
00:37:57.580 doctor's medicine anymore.
00:37:58.760 I just can't
00:37:59.280 I can't live this way.
00:38:00.840 My wife said
00:38:01.940 try Relief Factor
00:38:03.180 and the commercial says
00:38:04.520 try it for three weeks
00:38:05.400 and if it works
00:38:06.000 great, order more.
00:38:07.500 Well, in three weeks
00:38:08.940 I noticed a huge difference
00:38:11.040 so I ordered more.
00:38:12.100 I've been taking it
00:38:12.660 for a year now.
00:38:14.220 You have nothing to lose
00:38:15.860 but a three-week trial.
00:38:18.220 Try it for three weeks.
00:38:20.300 It's, you know,
00:38:21.560 put together by doctors.
00:38:23.200 It's 100% natural
00:38:24.440 and drug-free
00:38:25.140 and it reduces
00:38:25.880 the inflammation
00:38:26.500 which causes our pain.
00:38:27.940 Try it.
00:38:29.260 Get your life back

00:38:32.360 That's ReliefFactor.com

00:38:39.560 Glenn Beck.
00:38:41.300 Nancy Pelosi.
00:38:43.400 Nancy Pelosi.
00:38:45.740 She cares about you, kids.
00:38:47.400 She does.
00:38:48.720 She's from California.
00:38:50.160 She's doing everything
00:38:50.760 she can now
00:38:51.380 to make sure
00:38:51.740 she's re-elected
00:38:52.580 in January
00:38:53.100 to her spot
00:38:53.800 as House Speaker.
00:38:55.260 Now, reasons Nancy Pelosi
00:38:57.640 could give
00:38:58.520 because she's, you know,
00:39:00.080 led the Democratic caucus
00:39:01.100 for 16 years
00:39:02.080 and under her, you know,
00:39:04.500 the House did shift hands.
00:39:06.800 In fact, it was
00:39:07.660 Speaker Pelosi
00:39:09.360 that was under
00:39:11.540 President George W. Bush
00:39:12.940 and Barack Obama.
00:39:14.260 Now, reasons she actually gave
00:39:16.360 well, she's a woman.
00:39:19.920 And really, what more
00:39:21.480 do you need to say?
00:39:23.480 Really?
00:39:24.540 During an interview
00:39:25.260 on CBS Sunday,
00:39:26.900 Pelosi said,
00:39:27.800 you can't have
00:39:29.000 the four leaders
00:39:29.600 of Congress
00:39:30.220 and the President
00:39:30.980 of the United States,
00:39:31.680 these five people,
00:39:32.680 and not have
00:39:33.060 the voice of a woman.
00:39:35.020 Well, why not?
00:39:35.940 I mean,
00:39:36.560 I thought women
00:39:37.100 were no different.
00:39:38.460 Oh, they are.
00:39:39.400 I forgot.
00:39:40.680 Especially,
00:39:41.260 she went on to say,
00:39:42.380 when women are
00:39:43.020 the majority of the voters,
00:39:44.360 the workers,
00:39:45.060 in the campaigns,
00:39:46.000 and now,
00:39:46.520 this glorious victory.
00:39:48.780 Thank you, comrade.
00:39:49.920 It's the pink wave.
00:39:52.080 They're calling that now
00:39:52.980 the pink wave,
00:39:53.640 a rise in women politicians,
00:39:55.500 supposedly in reaction
00:39:56.540 to Donald Trump.
00:39:58.060 Now, here's the general argument
00:39:59.480 as described by Politico.
00:40:01.060 Quote,
00:40:01.420 push her out,
00:40:02.420 and men may take over
00:40:03.640 the party at a time
00:40:04.680 when more than 100 women
00:40:06.180 are heading to Capitol Hill,
00:40:07.400 and after female voters
00:40:09.240 have been thoroughly alienated
00:40:11.620 by President Donald Trump.
00:40:13.500 Embrace her,
00:40:14.720 and she'll prioritize legislation
00:40:16.360 empowering women
00:40:17.320 on issues ranging
00:40:18.320 from equal pay
00:40:19.380 to anti-harassment legislation.
00:40:22.440 Now, of course,
00:40:23.280 she has reason
00:40:24.440 to use identity politics
00:40:26.100 instead of merit,
00:40:27.460 you know,
00:40:28.580 because there's an effort
00:40:29.400 to unseat her,
00:40:32.100 because a lot of Democrats
00:40:33.800 don't like the things
00:40:34.700 that she's claiming
00:40:35.360 are victories.
00:40:36.680 At least nine representatives
00:40:38.380 have come forward
00:40:39.320 and said that Pelosi
00:40:40.340 will be out.
00:40:42.360 Fileman Veloff said,
00:40:44.120 I'm 100% confident
00:40:45.300 we can forge new leadership,
00:40:46.800 and this led by
00:40:48.360 Representative Ed Perlmutter
00:40:50.240 from Colorado.
00:40:52.220 These are the representatives
00:40:53.380 who have openly called
00:40:54.640 for Pelosi's outing.
00:40:56.460 Bill Foster,
00:40:57.760 Seth Moulton
00:40:59.300 from Illinois,
00:41:01.020 the Democrat
00:41:01.580 from Massachusetts,
00:41:02.840 a woman,
00:41:03.740 well, she's a sellout
00:41:04.760 to her gender,
00:41:05.680 Kathleen Rice,
00:41:07.180 Tim Ryan from Ohio,
00:41:08.880 Kurt Schrader from Oregon,
00:41:10.220 Conor Lamb from Pennsylvania,
00:41:12.520 and also Vela from Texas.
00:41:15.100 Campaign staff
00:41:16.320 for incoming representatives
00:41:17.680 of Abigail Spanberger
00:41:19.500 from Virginia,
00:41:21.260 Jason Crow from Colorado,
00:41:23.160 have also said
00:41:23.900 they're not going to be
00:41:24.580 voting for Pelosi.
00:41:26.780 If they have
00:41:28.140 a single ounce of dignity
00:41:29.480 left,
00:41:30.500 they won't.
00:41:32.380 And it won't be
00:41:33.920 because she's a woman.
00:41:36.020 It's Wednesday,
00:41:40.520 November 14th.
00:41:42.180 You're listening
00:41:42.940 to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:41:46.200 So my staff
00:41:47.820 of millennials
00:41:48.900 are talking about
00:41:51.300 adulting.
00:41:52.460 I don't even know
00:41:53.060 what adulting is.
00:41:54.300 And a quarter-life crisis.
00:41:56.300 What the heck
00:41:56.880 is a quarter-life crisis?
00:41:59.380 Well, we're about
00:42:00.060 to find out.
00:42:01.100 J.P. Pokluta
00:42:02.580 is an author
00:42:05.180 of a book called
00:42:05.900 Welcome to Adulting.
00:42:07.900 And it is
00:42:08.900 taking millennials
00:42:10.760 by storm.
00:42:12.060 Welcome, J.P.
00:42:12.680 How are you?
00:42:13.840 Hey, I'm doing so great.
00:42:14.900 Thanks for having me on, Glenn.
00:42:15.860 Appreciate you.
00:42:16.580 You bet.
00:42:16.920 Okay, so J.P.,
00:42:18.600 adulting.
00:42:20.660 What exactly
00:42:21.400 is adulting?
00:42:23.020 Well, it is
00:42:23.620 the practice
00:42:24.240 of behaving
00:42:25.160 in a way
00:42:25.660 characteristic
00:42:26.380 of a responsible adult,
00:42:28.520 especially
00:42:28.980 the accomplishment
00:42:30.160 of a mundane
00:42:30.960 but necessary task.
00:42:32.800 If that sounds
00:42:33.300 like I read that
00:42:34.120 from the dictionary,
00:42:34.900 it's because I did.
00:42:35.560 It's a new word.
00:42:36.780 We just put that
00:42:37.560 in the dictionary
00:42:38.100 last year,
00:42:38.880 and so it is official.
00:42:40.300 So this is something
00:42:41.340 that we used
00:42:42.860 to just do naturally.
00:42:44.280 When you were 18,
00:42:45.400 you were,
00:42:45.920 at least in my household,
00:42:47.560 you were kind of expected
00:42:48.380 to go out
00:42:49.120 and earn your own way
00:42:50.020 and, you know,
00:42:51.000 you're an adult now.
00:42:52.180 Get out.
00:42:54.080 And now we,
00:42:56.720 now what,
00:42:57.180 why the breakdown
00:42:58.200 of this thing
00:42:59.040 that has always been natural?
00:43:01.180 Well, I don't know
00:43:01.960 that it's always been natural.
00:43:03.100 I mean,
00:43:03.240 I think hindsight
00:43:04.460 is always 20-20
00:43:05.760 when we look back
00:43:06.900 on, you know,
00:43:07.560 our own development
00:43:08.460 and how we've grown up
00:43:09.500 and I know
00:43:10.740 what they're saying
00:43:11.840 about millennials
00:43:12.520 and young adults today,
00:43:13.720 the delayed adolescence,
00:43:15.060 they're lazy,
00:43:15.820 narcissistic.
00:43:16.520 I don't think
00:43:17.100 that's entirely true
00:43:18.380 at all.
00:43:19.280 Yeah,
00:43:19.740 entitled
00:43:20.280 and all of those things.
00:43:21.620 And I appreciate,
00:43:24.140 you know,
00:43:24.600 it sounds like
00:43:24.960 we may have
00:43:25.380 a shared perspective
00:43:26.260 on that
00:43:26.740 because I,
00:43:27.920 you know,
00:43:28.540 it seems like
00:43:29.500 we've all,
00:43:30.180 we all need help
00:43:30.980 growing up
00:43:31.580 and exist
00:43:31.980 in different times
00:43:32.720 and whatnot
00:43:33.080 and when I look
00:43:35.200 at the future,
00:43:36.860 I'm hopeful.
00:43:38.300 I think these guys,
00:43:39.360 they need leaders,
00:43:41.440 they need people
00:43:42.260 to inspire them
00:43:43.140 but I think
00:43:44.020 they're,
00:43:45.700 they want to do
00:43:46.580 something great,
00:43:47.160 they want to change
00:43:47.680 the world,
00:43:48.060 they want to do
00:43:48.560 something bigger
00:43:49.040 than themselves
00:43:49.460 and I hope
00:43:50.180 this is a resource
00:43:50.900 that helps them do that.
00:43:51.940 Okay,
00:43:52.060 so this is part
00:43:53.420 of the,
00:43:54.000 this is part
00:43:54.660 of the problem
00:43:55.080 I think
00:43:55.700 with suicides
00:43:57.120 that are rising
00:43:58.020 in millennials
00:43:59.080 and it is
00:44:00.180 that people
00:44:01.000 just aren't convinced
00:44:02.260 that they can
00:44:02.760 make a difference,
00:44:03.940 that their life
00:44:05.100 has no meaning,
00:44:06.260 that there is
00:44:06.860 no purpose
00:44:07.440 to anything
00:44:08.300 and is this
00:44:10.820 what the quarter
00:44:11.520 life crisis
00:44:12.300 is about?
00:44:13.800 Yeah,
00:44:13.920 I think that's
00:44:14.280 absolutely right,
00:44:15.080 Glenn.
00:44:15.340 I think people
00:44:16.500 are looking for purpose
00:44:17.500 and I think
00:44:18.320 they're looking
00:44:18.740 in the wrong places,
00:44:20.060 I think they have
00:44:20.840 a thousand friends
00:44:21.760 on social media,
00:44:23.040 you know,
00:44:23.220 a thousand Twitter followers,
00:44:24.560 you know,
00:44:24.740 whatever,
00:44:25.420 but no real relationships,
00:44:27.740 no depth,
00:44:28.800 no meaningful conversations,
00:44:31.340 they're not looking
00:44:32.340 for hope
00:44:32.900 in the right places
00:44:33.820 and so they despair,
00:44:35.780 you know,
00:44:36.020 they want to be,
00:44:37.160 their number one
00:44:37.720 and number two goals
00:44:38.520 of millennials
00:44:38.960 are to be rich
00:44:39.840 and to be famous
00:44:40.740 and when they hit
00:44:43.460 the wall
00:44:44.520 of pursuing riches
00:44:46.280 and pursuing stardom,
00:44:47.460 they're left
00:44:48.460 despairing
00:44:49.100 and they're
00:44:49.540 looking for more.
00:44:51.440 I will tell you
00:44:52.040 that wealth
00:44:54.580 and fame
00:44:55.380 are gigantic
00:44:57.460 imposters
00:44:58.400 and what really
00:45:00.820 led me
00:45:01.440 to my awakening
00:45:03.660 in my 30s
00:45:04.720 was I,
00:45:05.280 you know,
00:45:05.540 I had accomplished
00:45:06.820 a little bit
00:45:07.580 of both
00:45:08.260 and realized
00:45:09.260 that's completely
00:45:10.460 empty
00:45:10.960 and then had
00:45:11.740 no idea
00:45:12.520 where to go
00:45:13.480 and where
00:45:15.160 to find it.
00:45:16.460 Brad Pitt
00:45:17.180 says the same thing,
00:45:18.260 Tom Brady
00:45:18.700 says the same thing,
00:45:19.640 Jim Carrey
00:45:20.140 says the same thing,
00:45:21.160 Russell Brand
00:45:21.760 just came out
00:45:23.100 with a statement
00:45:23.580 saying the same thing,
00:45:25.040 you know,
00:45:25.320 they say,
00:45:26.300 my friend Todd
00:45:27.020 says,
00:45:27.480 the rich
00:45:29.200 are infinitely
00:45:29.680 better off
00:45:30.380 than the poor
00:45:30.940 because while
00:45:31.860 the poor
00:45:32.780 think riches
00:45:33.980 will bring happiness,
00:45:35.260 the wealthy
00:45:36.420 know better
00:45:37.060 and I think
00:45:39.300 that's a true
00:45:39.880 statement,
00:45:40.320 the same
00:45:40.740 is with fame
00:45:41.860 and you know,
00:45:43.020 these millennials,
00:45:43.640 young adults
00:45:44.040 and whatnot,
00:45:44.540 they want to do
00:45:45.480 something bigger
00:45:46.160 than themselves,
00:45:46.780 they just don't
00:45:47.380 know how
00:45:48.100 and so there's
00:45:49.020 this cry
00:45:49.580 of their heart,
00:45:50.440 the scripture
00:45:51.120 says that God
00:45:51.940 has set eternity
00:45:52.740 in our hearts,
00:45:53.840 I think they're
00:45:54.300 trying to fill
00:45:55.060 that eternal void
00:45:55.920 with all the things
00:45:56.700 of this world
00:45:57.260 and they're just
00:45:57.880 coming up empty
00:45:58.980 and so I think
00:46:00.280 the generation,
00:46:01.620 your listeners,
00:46:02.360 the generation
00:46:02.820 that has gone
00:46:03.240 before them
00:46:03.960 needs to be patient
00:46:05.580 and take time,
00:46:06.640 sit down with them,
00:46:07.880 continue to tell
00:46:08.860 the war stories
00:46:10.240 of old,
00:46:11.080 tell us about
00:46:12.300 the times,
00:46:13.720 you know,
00:46:14.120 of you growing up,
00:46:14.820 the hardships
00:46:15.260 that you faced,
00:46:16.840 try to do so
00:46:17.660 without judgment
00:46:18.380 and ask lots
00:46:20.020 of questions,
00:46:20.660 seek to understand,
00:46:21.540 become a student
00:46:22.220 of your children
00:46:23.360 and grandchildren
00:46:24.100 and know that
00:46:25.300 they really,
00:46:26.180 there is a desire
00:46:27.040 in them,
00:46:27.520 it may be hidden
00:46:28.140 behind some arrogance
00:46:28.920 and pride,
00:46:29.920 but there is a desire
00:46:30.900 in them to learn
00:46:31.800 from you.
00:46:32.520 I will tell you
00:46:32.980 that I don't think
00:46:33.780 there was this
00:46:34.840 spread of
00:46:36.340 misunderstanding
00:46:37.120 between generations
00:46:38.840 when I was a kid,
00:46:41.020 maybe between
00:46:41.920 my grandparents
00:46:42.900 and me
00:46:44.920 because they grew
00:46:46.280 up in the Great
00:46:46.720 Depression,
00:46:47.240 but not my parents
00:46:48.340 and me.
00:46:49.860 I mean,
00:46:50.060 there was a
00:46:50.600 misunderstanding,
00:46:51.940 but things in the
00:46:53.000 world have changed
00:46:55.100 so much
00:46:56.260 that when you talk
00:46:57.500 to millennials now
00:46:58.780 and I'm,
00:46:59.200 you know,
00:46:59.520 54,
00:47:00.280 you talk to millennials
00:47:01.340 and it is a different
00:47:02.840 world.
00:47:03.120 they see the world
00:47:04.120 differently,
00:47:05.080 they speak a different
00:47:06.300 language,
00:47:07.040 they understand
00:47:07.900 technology and the
00:47:09.420 world as it's going
00:47:10.560 to be much better
00:47:12.340 and,
00:47:13.040 you know,
00:47:13.800 I think they have
00:47:14.920 a reason
00:47:16.160 to be a little
00:47:18.240 concerned if they
00:47:19.380 don't have somebody
00:47:20.220 in their life
00:47:20.980 that's,
00:47:21.860 you know,
00:47:22.020 an older generation
00:47:22.800 going,
00:47:23.240 it's okay,
00:47:24.060 it's okay,
00:47:24.800 it's really exciting,
00:47:26.160 what you guys are
00:47:26.680 facing is really
00:47:27.520 exciting and you're
00:47:28.360 going to be able
00:47:28.980 to change the world
00:47:29.660 if you keep your
00:47:30.160 head on your
00:47:30.620 shoulders.
00:47:31.940 Yeah,
00:47:32.340 I think you're
00:47:33.240 right,
00:47:33.460 you have to have
00:47:34.060 someone to talk
00:47:34.780 to.
00:47:35.160 I also think
00:47:35.800 you're pointing
00:47:36.180 to the right
00:47:36.760 challenges with
00:47:38.480 the information
00:47:39.420 age,
00:47:40.020 the boom of
00:47:40.820 technology,
00:47:41.780 you know,
00:47:42.100 carrying a
00:47:43.180 mega computer
00:47:44.440 in our pockets
00:47:45.180 everywhere we go,
00:47:46.660 that does change
00:47:47.960 a person and so
00:47:48.780 it's interesting
00:47:49.240 what you say
00:47:49.760 about the gap
00:47:50.400 between you
00:47:51.240 and your parents
00:47:51.880 being smaller.
00:47:54.300 I think that
00:47:55.420 that's probably,
00:47:56.580 I would share
00:47:57.420 your perspective
00:47:58.000 and at the same
00:47:59.260 time I think
00:47:59.860 that we all
00:48:01.980 go through
00:48:02.600 something I like
00:48:03.400 to call kind
00:48:04.000 of the younger
00:48:04.900 brother,
00:48:05.520 older brother
00:48:06.060 syndrome,
00:48:07.460 which comes,
00:48:08.520 I picked that up
00:48:09.240 from the biblical
00:48:10.140 story of the
00:48:10.640 prodigal son,
00:48:11.820 where I think
00:48:12.220 we're all kind
00:48:12.820 of the older,
00:48:14.260 I mean the younger
00:48:14.680 brother at some
00:48:15.360 point and someone
00:48:16.660 is patient with us
00:48:17.940 and, you know,
00:48:19.000 embraces us and
00:48:20.060 extends grace to
00:48:21.020 us and then,
00:48:23.200 you know,
00:48:24.640 we're with the
00:48:26.140 father and all
00:48:27.400 is right and we
00:48:28.500 grow up and we
00:48:29.160 overnight become
00:48:29.940 the older brother
00:48:30.580 and then we just
00:48:31.160 look back with
00:48:31.840 judgment and we
00:48:32.980 don't want to be
00:48:33.440 patient with anyone
00:48:34.220 else and so I
00:48:35.860 try to,
00:48:37.040 you know,
00:48:37.640 when I sit with
00:48:38.380 someone,
00:48:39.080 you know,
00:48:39.580 who's young and
00:48:40.480 naive and just
00:48:41.380 like I was and
00:48:42.340 I'm sure am in
00:48:43.180 ways I can't see
00:48:43.900 right now,
00:48:44.920 just to be patient
00:48:45.980 with them,
00:48:46.380 seek to understand
00:48:47.080 their world,
00:48:47.620 where they're
00:48:47.880 coming from,
00:48:48.480 what is their
00:48:48.820 worldview and,
00:48:50.180 you know,
00:48:51.280 point them to
00:48:51.740 truth.
00:48:52.740 So you're working
00:48:53.860 now at Waterfront
00:48:55.360 or Watermark Church
00:48:56.960 which is a great,
00:48:58.860 great organization
00:49:00.320 here in Dallas,
00:49:02.240 Texas,
00:49:03.300 which I don't even
00:49:04.560 know how,
00:49:05.000 what's the youth
00:49:05.700 population there?
00:49:08.300 I don't know the,
00:49:09.400 you know,
00:49:09.640 the youth,
00:49:10.140 so I spend all my
00:49:11.400 time with young
00:49:11.900 adults,
00:49:12.220 so, you know,
00:49:13.120 20 to 35 is the
00:49:15.160 porch,
00:49:15.360 I say all my time,
00:49:16.280 I teach on the
00:49:17.400 weekends as well,
00:49:18.640 services,
00:49:19.540 I share that with
00:49:20.120 Todd,
00:49:20.460 our senior pastor,
00:49:21.160 but we have
00:49:23.600 at the porch
00:49:24.460 on a Tuesday night
00:49:25.360 we have
00:49:25.880 about 4,000
00:49:27.740 young adults
00:49:28.120 here in Dallas
00:49:28.700 and then
00:49:29.840 we have another
00:49:31.160 10 campuses
00:49:31.780 around the country
00:49:32.640 and then another,
00:49:34.060 you know,
00:49:34.500 50,000 or so
00:49:35.620 streaming online
00:49:36.660 and so it's
00:49:37.680 become,
00:49:39.140 by God's grace,
00:49:40.620 the largest
00:49:41.120 young adult
00:49:41.520 gathering in the
00:49:42.180 country.
00:49:43.180 So what is the
00:49:43.840 number one thing
00:49:44.820 that they are
00:49:45.580 concerned about
00:49:47.920 and how can
00:49:49.660 people who are
00:49:50.540 listening
00:49:50.960 help them?
00:49:53.060 Yeah,
00:49:53.560 I appreciate
00:49:54.000 you saying that.
00:49:55.280 I think,
00:49:56.240 well,
00:49:57.180 dating,
00:49:57.680 right,
00:49:58.020 at that point
00:49:58.740 in your life
00:49:59.180 you've graduated
00:49:59.760 college and
00:50:00.480 you're trying
00:50:01.120 to figure out
00:50:01.920 how you can
00:50:02.360 convince someone
00:50:03.160 of the opposite
00:50:03.680 sex to spend
00:50:04.880 the rest of
00:50:05.240 their life
00:50:05.580 with you.
00:50:07.380 Anxiety is a
00:50:08.260 huge felt need
00:50:09.020 right now as
00:50:09.620 you talk about
00:50:10.340 just growing
00:50:10.840 suicide rates
00:50:11.720 and depression
00:50:12.160 rates.
00:50:12.880 I think you
00:50:13.800 have a generation
00:50:14.400 despairing out
00:50:15.760 of control
00:50:16.340 and so that's
00:50:18.080 a huge felt
00:50:18.600 need.
00:50:18.880 But the
00:50:19.560 biggest one
00:50:20.040 you also
00:50:20.400 touched on
00:50:20.980 keenly is
00:50:22.300 just searching
00:50:22.980 for purpose.
00:50:23.940 I think they're
00:50:24.340 trying to figure
00:50:25.000 out,
00:50:25.460 hey,
00:50:25.780 is there a
00:50:27.620 God,
00:50:28.000 first of all,
00:50:29.020 and if there
00:50:30.440 is,
00:50:30.900 what is his
00:50:31.360 desire for me
00:50:32.380 and how do I
00:50:32.940 find my purpose
00:50:33.940 in this world?
00:50:34.880 And so that is,
00:50:36.300 I don't know that
00:50:36.900 that's the felt
00:50:38.040 need.
00:50:38.480 I think the felt
00:50:39.020 need can be more
00:50:39.760 of the dating
00:50:40.860 and anxiety,
00:50:41.980 but the real need,
00:50:42.940 the underlying need
00:50:43.820 is, hey,
00:50:44.660 what were you
00:50:45.200 created for?
00:50:46.980 And that's
00:50:47.640 where I think
00:50:48.020 this book,
00:50:49.000 chapter two,
00:50:50.320 is all about
00:50:50.940 purpose and
00:50:51.720 finding your
00:50:52.320 identity.
00:50:53.020 I will tell you,
00:50:53.840 the name of the
00:50:54.900 book is Welcome
00:50:55.580 to Adulting,
00:50:56.580 by the way,
00:50:57.180 and I'll tell you,
00:50:58.160 JP,
00:50:58.580 that if it,
00:51:00.380 you know,
00:51:00.940 I searched for
00:51:01.580 answers for a
00:51:02.140 long time,
00:51:02.600 and in my
00:51:03.280 30s I had a
00:51:04.560 complete crash,
00:51:05.660 and I lost
00:51:06.520 absolutely
00:51:07.260 everything,
00:51:08.460 and it was
00:51:08.940 only then that
00:51:10.240 I was willing
00:51:11.240 to look at
00:51:12.340 the real answer,
00:51:13.560 which is God,
00:51:15.200 and, you
00:51:16.560 know,
00:51:16.760 he had been
00:51:17.400 just this
00:51:17.860 distant kind
00:51:19.000 of thing
00:51:19.340 that I believed
00:51:20.040 in,
00:51:20.680 but it wasn't
00:51:21.720 really a real
00:51:22.500 relationship,
00:51:23.520 et cetera,
00:51:23.860 et cetera,
00:51:24.800 and I,
00:51:25.740 you know,
00:51:26.360 it's not
00:51:28.040 something that
00:51:28.740 is being
00:51:29.100 encouraged at
00:51:30.060 all in a
00:51:31.180 large portion
00:51:31.940 of our society
00:51:32.900 now,
00:51:33.620 and, you
00:51:34.980 know,
00:51:35.220 churches seem
00:51:37.180 so out of
00:51:38.000 touch to so
00:51:38.920 many millennials,
00:51:39.800 I mean,
00:51:39.980 it's different
00:51:40.460 here in the
00:51:41.720 South,
00:51:42.120 but seem
00:51:43.020 completely distant,
00:51:44.340 and God
00:51:44.940 is kind
00:51:45.340 of this
00:51:45.600 distant
00:51:46.140 idea,
00:51:47.220 and we
00:51:47.720 were just
00:51:48.160 listening to
00:51:48.600 some audio
00:51:49.100 from the
00:51:50.300 wildfires in
00:51:51.260 California,
00:51:52.140 I don't think
00:51:52.560 I've heard so
00:51:53.160 many Californians
00:51:53.900 talk about
00:51:54.380 God,
00:51:55.340 ever,
00:51:56.400 you know,
00:51:56.740 when you're
00:51:57.120 really stripped
00:51:58.680 down,
00:51:59.980 that's when you
00:52:00.720 start to find
00:52:01.560 answers,
00:52:03.300 that's when you,
00:52:03.980 you know,
00:52:04.140 in the midst of
00:52:05.040 human suffering,
00:52:05.860 that's where you
00:52:06.280 find him.
00:52:07.560 And they say
00:52:07.980 there's no
00:52:08.340 atheist in the
00:52:08.980 foxhole,
00:52:10.080 and we've
00:52:11.420 seen that,
00:52:12.000 we almost
00:52:12.360 saw a great
00:52:12.920 awakening happen
00:52:13.700 with when
00:52:14.700 9-11 occurred,
00:52:16.320 whenever there's,
00:52:17.200 whenever tragic
00:52:17.800 hits,
00:52:18.260 we turn to
00:52:19.300 the creator,
00:52:20.140 I've seen the
00:52:20.540 same thing in
00:52:21.080 Haiti,
00:52:21.700 when the
00:52:22.140 earthquake hit
00:52:22.860 in 2010,
00:52:25.260 you had the
00:52:25.820 whole country
00:52:26.760 coming around
00:52:27.540 saying,
00:52:27.840 okay,
00:52:28.040 now,
00:52:28.580 you know,
00:52:28.980 turning from
00:52:29.540 Satanism to,
00:52:30.720 okay,
00:52:31.000 we think there's
00:52:31.600 a creator,
00:52:32.500 a God,
00:52:33.440 and that's
00:52:33.800 similar to my
00:52:34.600 story,
00:52:34.940 Glenn,
00:52:35.120 I mean,
00:52:35.440 16 years ago,
00:52:36.960 I was at a
00:52:37.800 bar on a
00:52:38.500 Saturday night,
00:52:39.800 and was kind
00:52:40.500 of everything wrong
00:52:41.340 with Dallas,
00:52:42.000 and a person,
00:52:42.720 was pretentious,
00:52:43.580 I wanted to be a
00:52:44.040 millionaire before
00:52:44.520 I was 30,
00:52:45.180 had the Jaguar
00:52:45.780 in the penthouse
00:52:46.260 condo,
00:52:47.220 and was,
00:52:47.900 you know,
00:52:48.120 a girlfriend,
00:52:48.860 and another,
00:52:49.540 you know,
00:52:49.880 several girls,
00:52:50.760 and all of that,
00:52:51.920 just in one person,
00:52:52.940 and I was at a
00:52:54.460 bar,
00:52:54.800 and someone invited
00:52:55.400 me to church,
00:52:56.040 and I came to
00:52:56.800 Watermark,
00:52:57.880 and I sat in the
00:52:58.560 back row,
00:52:59.040 and I was hung
00:52:59.460 over,
00:53:00.200 I smelled like
00:53:00.740 smoke from the
00:53:01.260 night before,
00:53:01.900 you know,
00:53:02.120 at the club,
00:53:02.720 and I was
00:53:03.760 addicted to sex,
00:53:04.820 addicted to porn,
00:53:06.180 and I just began
00:53:07.640 to wrestle with,
00:53:08.420 you know,
00:53:08.700 who is God,
00:53:09.740 and really seeking
00:53:11.700 that out,
00:53:12.300 and I looked at
00:53:12.740 all of the world
00:53:13.460 religions,
00:53:13.960 because I thought,
00:53:14.460 what are the odds
00:53:15.080 I'd be born to
00:53:15.620 the right country,
00:53:16.760 you know,
00:53:16.980 if I was born in
00:53:17.680 China,
00:53:18.160 I'd be Buddhist,
00:53:19.320 or India,
00:53:19.980 I'd be Hindu,
00:53:20.900 and Iran,
00:53:22.160 I might be Muslim,
00:53:22.920 and so I just
00:53:23.440 started studying,
00:53:24.180 started from scratch,
00:53:25.100 and I grew up in the
00:53:25.780 church,
00:53:26.060 but I was just like,
00:53:26.760 really had a bias
00:53:27.560 against Christianity,
00:53:28.620 and as I continued
00:53:30.380 to explore that,
00:53:31.260 I was overwhelmed
00:53:32.140 by the evidence
00:53:33.160 that pointed me
00:53:34.560 to Jesus Christ,
00:53:36.060 and when I surrendered
00:53:37.380 my life to Him,
00:53:38.420 just as that person
00:53:39.640 that I described
00:53:40.260 earlier,
00:53:40.760 everything changed,
00:53:42.700 what I did for fun
00:53:43.640 changed,
00:53:44.160 who I hung out
00:53:44.760 with changed,
00:53:45.920 the way I thought
00:53:46.780 changed,
00:53:47.180 the way I talked
00:53:47.780 changed,
00:53:48.260 and ultimately,
00:53:49.080 you know,
00:53:49.440 my profession changed,
00:53:50.940 and so I'm so
00:53:51.660 passionate about
00:53:52.540 helping the next
00:53:54.100 generation reach
00:53:55.480 this generation,
00:53:56.560 call it Gen Y
00:53:57.500 or Gen Z,
00:53:58.720 millennials,
00:53:59.500 young adults,
00:54:00.640 I want to see
00:54:02.360 that gap you
00:54:03.100 addressed earlier
00:54:03.920 become narrower
00:54:05.220 and smaller
00:54:06.100 so that,
00:54:07.200 you know,
00:54:07.380 we can raise it up,
00:54:08.220 because all of us,
00:54:09.120 we have to,
00:54:09.440 we know we're going
00:54:10.100 to leave this place,
00:54:11.540 and you want to
00:54:11.980 leave a legacy,
00:54:12.660 you want to leave
00:54:12.980 people behind you
00:54:13.940 that are seeking
00:54:15.800 to, you know,
00:54:17.260 live out their purpose
00:54:18.180 in this world.
00:54:19.100 JP, I'm thrilled
00:54:20.560 to have you on,
00:54:21.440 it sounds like we have
00:54:22.260 a lot of shared
00:54:23.240 experiences and shared
00:54:24.800 belief in the
00:54:26.120 younger generation,
00:54:27.000 I think they get
00:54:27.440 a very bad rap,
00:54:28.860 the, you know,
00:54:30.420 I've met good and
00:54:31.100 bad, but I've met
00:54:31.740 good and bad
00:54:32.220 in all generations,
00:54:33.060 this generation
00:54:34.820 is looking,
00:54:36.700 they just don't
00:54:37.440 have anyone
00:54:38.020 encouraging and
00:54:39.280 anyone who is
00:54:40.180 telling them truth,
00:54:41.820 you know,
00:54:42.240 they've been lied
00:54:43.780 to, I think,
00:54:44.540 their whole life,
00:54:46.480 and I have
00:54:48.460 great confidence
00:54:49.260 in them,
00:54:49.860 so thank you so
00:54:51.060 much for what
00:54:51.440 you're doing,
00:54:51.780 and the name of
00:54:52.140 the book is
00:54:52.740 Welcome to
00:54:53.460 Adulting,
00:54:54.300 Welcome to
00:54:54.800 Adulting,
00:54:55.360 Jonathan J.P.
00:54:57.820 Pokluda,
00:54:58.700 thanks for being
00:54:59.520 on, we'll talk
00:55:00.080 again, thanks J.P.
00:55:01.240 Thank you so much,
00:55:02.260 appreciate you.
00:55:05.580 Sponsor of this
00:55:06.200 half hour is
00:55:07.080 Goldline.
00:55:09.380 So we were
00:55:10.060 talking just a
00:55:11.020 little while ago
00:55:11.540 about some of the
00:55:12.380 stats because of
00:55:14.120 the, because of
00:55:15.860 the tariffs,
00:55:17.140 the economy is
00:55:18.680 starting to really
00:55:20.100 hurt,
00:55:20.720 inflation is
00:55:22.380 now starting
00:55:23.060 to happen,
00:55:24.760 the Fed
00:55:25.540 kept inflation
00:55:26.340 under control
00:55:27.360 for a very
00:55:28.520 long time by
00:55:29.340 printing all
00:55:30.020 this money,
00:55:30.940 well, now
00:55:31.620 they're starting
00:55:32.220 to pull it
00:55:33.020 back, and
00:55:33.600 so, you
00:55:34.820 know,
00:55:35.180 inflation is
00:55:36.520 starting to
00:55:37.140 happen as
00:55:37.760 they are
00:55:38.100 starting to
00:55:38.580 pull out,
00:55:39.160 and the
00:55:39.880 government is
00:55:40.560 spending even
00:55:41.300 more and
00:55:41.840 more, and
00:55:42.960 there's this
00:55:43.840 chain of
00:55:44.320 events that
00:55:44.900 is headed our
00:55:45.480 way that
00:55:46.760 is not
00:55:48.100 good, no
00:55:49.180 one has
00:55:49.540 ever survived
00:55:50.380 this, we're
00:55:51.280 at the
00:55:51.520 beginning of
00:55:52.580 this unraveling
00:55:54.060 now, and I
00:55:55.500 highly, highly
00:55:57.000 recommend Goldline.
00:55:58.760 What was the
00:55:59.140 thing, you know,
00:56:00.140 the Goldline had
00:56:00.800 this piece out
00:56:02.120 before the
00:56:03.580 election saying
00:56:04.200 this is what
00:56:04.680 will happen if
00:56:05.320 the Democrats
00:56:06.200 get into the
00:56:07.880 House, what
00:56:08.640 was the, what's
00:56:09.340 it called, a
00:56:09.700 shotgun, or?
00:56:10.620 The subpoena
00:56:11.380 cannon.
00:56:11.900 The subpoena
00:56:12.640 cannon.
00:56:13.080 Yeah, Democrats
00:56:13.620 have loaded a
00:56:14.480 subpoena cannon
00:56:15.540 with 85 plus
00:56:17.400 Trump targets.
00:56:18.260 So how do
00:56:19.440 you think that's
00:56:20.460 going to work
00:56:20.980 out?
00:56:21.320 How are you
00:56:21.560 going to make
00:56:21.800 an economy
00:56:22.240 work better?
00:56:23.200 How are you
00:56:23.540 going to improve
00:56:24.180 the things you
00:56:24.640 need to be, you
00:56:25.320 know, be
00:56:25.640 improving when
00:56:26.360 this is all
00:56:27.000 we're going to
00:56:27.260 be dealing
00:56:27.700 with for the
00:56:28.040 next two years?
00:56:28.960 So please,
00:56:29.580 prepare yourself
00:56:30.940 and prepare by
00:56:33.000 just considering
00:56:34.140 gold or silver
00:56:35.060 as I don't
00:56:37.320 invest in it,
00:56:38.420 I buy it, I
00:56:39.560 hope to pass it
00:56:40.280 on to my
00:56:40.700 children, I
00:56:41.300 buy it as
00:56:42.040 insurance against
00:56:43.240 insanity, but
00:56:45.100 with the
00:56:46.040 uncertainty that's
00:56:46.860 going on around
00:56:47.380 the world,
00:56:47.820 probably a good
00:56:49.080 investment to
00:56:49.880 gold line
00:56:50.900 1-866-GOLDLINE
00:56:53.020 ask them for
00:56:53.920 the free thing
00:56:54.860 that the
00:56:55.320 packet that they
00:56:56.980 put together on
00:56:57.640 what's going to
00:56:58.040 happen because of
00:56:58.680 the election.
00:56:59.100 If now it's
00:57:00.920 they did, when
00:57:02.620 is this going to
00:57:03.360 happen?
00:57:03.780 Call 866-GOLDLINE
00:57:05.580 1-866-GOLDLINE
00:57:07.220 or goldline.com
00:57:08.680 We are, we're
00:57:17.200 looking at the
00:57:18.320 election results
00:57:19.440 now and we
00:57:20.360 are seeing a
00:57:20.940 very different
00:57:21.460 world than we
00:57:22.100 were seeing on
00:57:22.860 election night.
00:57:24.060 I think it's
00:57:24.700 fair to say that
00:57:25.860 this was a
00:57:27.260 blue wave.
00:57:28.720 I mean, you
00:57:29.800 know, a minor
00:57:30.380 one, right?
00:57:30.860 Like it wasn't
00:57:31.560 nearly the Tea
00:57:32.740 Party wave
00:57:33.300 election.
00:57:33.480 No, no, no.
00:57:34.020 No, and it
00:57:35.020 wasn't the Newt
00:57:35.640 Gingrich wave.
00:57:36.520 Right, but those
00:57:37.120 are the only two
00:57:37.880 in the past 40
00:57:38.800 years that it
00:57:40.020 won less, that
00:57:41.860 the House seats
00:57:42.580 were less
00:57:43.620 decisive.
00:57:44.300 For example, I
00:57:46.160 think we went
00:57:46.500 back right after
00:57:47.040 the election and
00:57:47.600 said, okay, look
00:57:48.820 at where the
00:57:49.220 House seats are.
00:57:51.440 Of the last
00:57:52.040 14 midterm
00:57:53.020 elections, this
00:57:54.340 was a worse
00:57:55.400 result than 10
00:57:56.420 of them.
00:57:57.260 That's where we
00:57:57.680 were on election
00:57:58.240 night.
00:57:59.180 Now, because of
00:58:00.160 these races in
00:58:00.960 California that
00:58:01.600 they're still
00:58:01.940 counting, most of
00:58:02.660 these are going
00:58:03.180 towards Democrats.
00:58:04.020 As you might
00:58:04.340 expect, it's
00:58:05.580 now the third
00:58:07.000 biggest wave as
00:58:09.280 far as House
00:58:09.700 seats go.
00:58:10.340 People are fooled
00:58:10.920 because the Senate
00:58:11.800 is still under
00:58:12.420 Republican control,
00:58:13.620 which is great,
00:58:14.520 and I'm happy
00:58:15.000 about that.
00:58:15.620 However, there
00:58:15.960 was 35 Senate
00:58:16.920 races up on
00:58:18.220 election night.
00:58:18.840 Democrats won
00:58:19.360 24, despite the
00:58:21.500 majority of the
00:58:22.440 seats being in
00:58:23.040 red states.
00:58:24.520 They won 24 of
00:58:25.500 35, and if they
00:58:26.480 get Florida, it
00:58:26.960 would be 25.
00:58:27.620 And there's a
00:58:28.000 reason for that.
00:58:28.840 They believe that
00:58:29.760 if you look at the
00:58:30.840 map, a lot of
00:58:31.580 these were in the
00:58:32.460 places in the
00:58:33.160 country that
00:58:33.980 voted for
00:58:34.500 Trump, but the
00:58:35.600 tariffs have
00:58:36.500 hurt those
00:58:37.360 people.
00:58:42.240 I've been
00:58:42.760 sleeping on my
00:58:43.280 Casper mattress
00:58:43.840 for a while, and
00:58:44.780 I would pick it
00:58:45.580 over any mattress
00:58:46.440 that I have ever
00:58:47.440 had.
00:58:47.860 In fact, I did
00:58:48.940 pick it.
00:58:49.860 I bought it, sent
00:58:51.640 it to my house.
00:58:52.760 I tried it for, I
00:58:54.240 think, five days.
00:58:55.300 I actually was
00:58:56.000 honest, which I
00:58:57.340 don't know if
00:58:57.760 everybody appreciates
00:58:58.820 this, but I said,
00:59:00.660 I'm not sure I
00:59:01.240 like it.
00:59:01.820 Well, it took me a
00:59:02.540 few more days before
00:59:03.580 I really started to
00:59:04.600 have my body settle
00:59:05.460 down.
00:59:06.040 I love this bed.
00:59:07.780 It is Casper.
00:59:09.040 It's a no-brainer.
00:59:09.920 All you have to do
00:59:10.760 is just order it and
00:59:12.440 try it for 100
00:59:13.300 nights.
00:59:13.840 If you don't have
00:59:14.760 the experience that
00:59:15.440 I have, they come
00:59:16.480 and pick it up and
00:59:17.140 they refund every
00:59:17.820 single dime.
00:59:18.620 So put Casper to
00:59:19.820 the test in your
00:59:20.920 home.
00:59:21.660 The only way to
00:59:22.520 test a mattress is
00:59:23.500 by sleeping on it
00:59:24.360 night after night,
00:59:25.240 risk-free.

00:59:44.800 You're listening to
00:59:45.760 the Glenn Beck
00:59:46.300 Program.
00:59:47.180 I grew up in the
00:59:47.780 Pacific Northwest
00:59:48.460 and wildfires were
00:59:49.820 something that, you
00:59:51.180 know, when you're
00:59:51.640 out in the West, you
00:59:52.340 grow up hearing and
00:59:53.740 you grow up seeing
00:59:54.540 the smoke and
00:59:55.440 and it's, you
00:59:57.680 know, even from
00:59:58.240 neighboring states
00:59:59.080 or in my case,
00:59:59.800 neighboring countries,
01:00:00.560 if part of Canada
01:00:01.760 was on fire, you
01:00:02.620 would see it and
01:00:04.060 it was just part of
01:00:04.700 life.
01:00:06.920 This is something
01:00:08.220 like I've never,
01:00:09.420 ever seen before in
01:00:10.360 my life.
01:00:11.140 This wildfire is
01:00:13.100 remarkable.
01:00:15.020 Maybe, maybe I
01:00:16.320 remember early in
01:00:17.780 the 70s, there
01:00:19.140 might have been
01:00:19.800 something, but, but
01:00:21.160 even this one, this
01:00:22.460 is the biggest one in
01:00:23.260 the history of
01:00:24.160 California.
01:00:25.440 And our thoughts
01:00:26.540 and our prayers
01:00:27.500 and our arms and
01:00:28.480 our feet and our
01:00:29.320 back and our
01:00:30.480 wallets are with
01:00:32.180 California and we,
01:00:33.840 we keep you in our
01:00:35.440 thoughts and our
01:00:36.180 prayers, but we are
01:00:37.240 also backing that up
01:00:39.040 like we always do
01:00:39.900 with action.
01:00:41.180 Uh, Joy Villa is, um,
01:00:42.760 she does the Joy
01:00:43.660 Villa show and, and,
01:00:44.940 uh, she's the host
01:00:46.280 of obviously that.
01:00:47.080 I mean, who else
01:00:47.720 would you have hosted,
01:00:48.740 you know, with that
01:00:49.340 name, uh, seeing
01:00:51.000 that her name is the
01:00:51.720 same.
01:00:52.000 Um, anyway, uh, she's
01:00:53.400 a singer.
01:00:53.900 You might remember
01:00:54.540 her.
01:00:54.860 She went, uh, to
01:00:56.040 the Grammys wearing a,
01:00:58.460 uh, make America
01:00:59.640 great again dress.
01:01:00.860 And, uh, that didn't
01:01:02.100 go over real well.
01:01:03.720 Uh, at least with the
01:01:05.860 people that she was
01:01:06.540 standing with or
01:01:07.660 standing around.
01:01:08.460 Um, but she is one of
01:01:10.480 the, uh, Mercury One
01:01:11.440 ambassadors, uh, out in
01:01:13.480 California and she has
01:01:14.980 been out with the, uh,
01:01:17.120 with the wildfires and
01:01:18.280 we thought we'd have her
01:01:18.980 on to just tell us
01:01:19.900 what's, what's going on.
01:01:21.860 Welcome to the program.
01:01:22.700 Joy, how are you?
01:01:24.320 Hi, Glenn.
01:01:25.140 Good morning.
01:01:25.920 Great to be here.
01:01:27.020 Thank you.
01:01:27.980 What, what, what is
01:01:29.580 happening, Joy?
01:01:30.740 What is it like to be
01:01:32.260 there?
01:01:32.560 It's really bad.
01:01:33.740 It's really bad.
01:01:34.920 Um, you know, I grew
01:01:35.980 up in Santa Barbara, like
01:01:37.200 you were saying, you grew
01:01:37.820 up in the Pacific Northwest.
01:01:38.960 So fires are sort of a
01:01:40.560 natural occurrence, but
01:01:41.900 this is the worst fire in
01:01:43.880 California history.
01:01:44.880 The one up north camp
01:01:46.480 fire has claimed 48 lives
01:01:48.680 and almost 9,000
01:01:49.980 structures.
01:01:51.100 It is the deadliest fire.
01:01:53.320 And there's still, what
01:01:54.200 is it?
01:01:54.620 250 people missing.
01:01:57.080 There's still 250 people
01:01:58.740 missing.
01:01:59.060 That's right.
01:01:59.860 That's right.
01:02:00.200 More than 150,000 people
01:02:02.840 have been displaced,
01:02:04.080 including many of my
01:02:05.600 friends.
01:02:06.020 So they don't have a home.
01:02:07.580 They don't know where to
01:02:08.380 go.
01:02:09.240 So part of what we did, um,
01:02:11.540 with the team, with
01:02:12.640 Mercury one and with our
01:02:13.960 partners on the ground is
01:02:16.020 getting supplies to those
01:02:17.480 people who are displaced
01:02:18.520 like toiletries and hygiene
01:02:20.100 kits and, and some of the
01:02:21.560 food to a few base camps out
01:02:23.380 here.
01:02:23.780 Also getting that to the
01:02:25.020 firefighters who've been
01:02:26.140 fighting nonstop for days,
01:02:28.040 getting them coffee and
01:02:29.860 protein bars and water.
01:02:31.500 So we dropped off supplies, um,
01:02:33.440 out in Camarillo and
01:02:34.640 Thousand Oaks, but the fires
01:02:36.440 are everywhere down here
01:02:37.880 right now, the fire in Los
01:02:38.960 Angeles city, the Woolsey
01:02:40.120 fire, it's bigger than the
01:02:41.800 city of Denver at this
01:02:43.280 point.
01:02:43.640 Oh my gosh.
01:02:45.700 And it is, is it, is it
01:02:47.980 moving towards like Sherman
01:02:49.940 Oaks and, uh, and Los
01:02:52.180 Angeles at the proper, is it
01:02:53.940 moving that direction?
01:02:54.960 Well, the winds, it's hard
01:02:57.340 to, like yesterday we were
01:02:59.100 looking at the fires, trying
01:03:00.220 to find out where it was
01:03:01.060 going next and it was going
01:03:02.500 towards Malibu.
01:03:03.460 So now Malibu is where the
01:03:05.420 fire is at, but the winds
01:03:07.060 keep changing.
01:03:07.900 There's a Santa Ana winds
01:03:09.180 coming up and it's so dry
01:03:11.280 everywhere.
01:03:12.020 It's hard to predict where it
01:03:13.540 is right now where it's the
01:03:15.140 biggest and most dangerous
01:03:16.600 and especially vicious is in a
01:03:19.900 city called Paradise, which is
01:03:21.380 up in Northern California.
01:03:22.880 And there it has almost
01:03:25.320 completely destroyed that
01:03:27.200 whole city.
01:03:28.600 Um, I think it's 40% of
01:03:30.460 the residents, um, have
01:03:31.760 homes that have been
01:03:32.540 destroyed.
01:03:33.340 This is remarkable.
01:03:35.360 It's unheard of.
01:03:36.820 It's never been seen before.
01:03:38.680 You know, we've had, we had
01:03:40.000 wildfires last year that were
01:03:41.720 really bad, but this, because
01:03:43.980 of the dryness, because of the
01:03:45.220 climate, because we're in, you
01:03:46.860 know, a lack of moisture and
01:03:49.120 because the winds are so bad
01:03:50.800 that this fire could be burning
01:03:52.280 for weeks, there's no telling
01:03:54.380 when it's going to stop.
01:03:55.720 I mean, it's getting more and
01:03:56.800 more contained, but yet it's
01:03:58.080 starting in other places.
01:03:59.560 That's the problem.
01:04:00.600 So Stu said to me, um, earlier
01:04:02.580 today, I wonder why the news is
01:04:05.380 not covering this the way they do
01:04:07.040 with hurricanes, where they have
01:04:08.220 the reporters live on the ground
01:04:09.640 and they're there all the time.
01:04:11.280 And my only, and this is a
01:04:12.900 guess, my only guess is at one
01:04:14.500 point, this fire was consuming
01:04:16.380 80 football fields a minute.
01:04:20.000 And yes, it, even the fire
01:04:22.600 departments, they can't keep
01:04:24.740 ahead of it.
01:04:25.340 They'll say, we're going to meet
01:04:26.440 at this place.
01:04:27.360 And by the time they get there,
01:04:28.800 the fire is burned that place
01:04:30.600 down and, and long past it.
01:04:33.860 So there's, there's no real safe
01:04:36.100 place, right?
01:04:37.060 Because there isn't, you're
01:04:39.140 absolutely right, Glenn.
01:04:40.040 It's moving too fast.
01:04:41.240 And at one point it was moving
01:04:42.160 about a hundred miles per hour.
01:04:44.140 It absolutely consumes everything
01:04:46.400 in its wake.
01:04:47.320 And if you're close to it, you
01:04:49.120 have to get out.
01:04:50.000 The evacuation notices almost
01:04:51.580 can't go fast enough, you know,
01:04:53.960 but even in the Valley, the Los
01:04:55.460 Angeles Valley, um, there's smoke
01:04:57.860 in the air.
01:04:58.440 So people are evacuating, even
01:04:59.980 though the flames are not
01:05:01.140 particularly close, even the smoke
01:05:03.360 is starting to suffocate.
01:05:04.660 There's ash, um, on many lawns.
01:05:06.800 I mean, I'm in the Western part
01:05:08.040 of Los Angeles, so it hasn't
01:05:09.140 reached me.
01:05:09.960 Thank God, but I can smell smoke
01:05:12.520 when I go down on the freeway.
01:05:14.120 The smoke is absolutely covering
01:05:15.680 the whole city.
01:05:16.620 So it's, it's very dangerous.
01:05:18.300 It moves extremely fast.
01:05:20.520 The wind is pushing it over
01:05:22.300 freeway.
01:05:22.860 So it's able to jump across the
01:05:25.840 freeway to get to another area.
01:05:28.160 That's how it's gotten from the
01:05:29.460 Northern California, Southern
01:05:30.640 California.
01:05:31.240 It's just, it's pretty much
01:05:32.520 surrounding all of California.
01:05:34.420 And people don't understand, you
01:05:36.300 know, when you see these people
01:05:37.240 and, you know, and they're on
01:05:38.560 their cell phone and they're
01:05:39.420 trying to get out and there's
01:05:41.320 flames everywhere, you know, you
01:05:43.240 think about the smoke and how it
01:05:44.800 stings your eyes and everything
01:05:45.860 else, but you don't understand
01:05:46.900 that a fire this size is eating
01:05:49.780 all of the oxygen.
01:05:51.360 So it's not that you can't breathe
01:05:53.620 because you're breathing in just
01:05:54.600 smoke.
01:05:54.880 There's no oxygen.
01:05:56.000 It's eating all of the oxygen.
01:05:59.440 Absolutely.
01:05:59.880 It really is.
01:06:01.280 And it's, it's become so dangerous.
01:06:03.220 That's one of the things right
01:06:04.640 now, the worst thing is, is the
01:06:06.900 smoke is, it's getting very toxic.
01:06:08.840 The dust is bad for the areas that
01:06:11.080 have been burned.
01:06:12.000 It's just a complete waste land.
01:06:14.260 And there's going to be need to be
01:06:15.860 months and months and months of
01:06:18.300 cleanup, even after these fires
01:06:19.880 stop burning.
01:06:20.480 I have a house.
01:06:23.800 I was up in, um, in Idaho, uh, over
01:06:27.060 the, um, over the, uh, summer and
01:06:30.920 because of the California, sorry,
01:06:32.400 because of the fires in Canada and
01:06:34.980 I'm in Southern Idaho, uh, I
01:06:37.740 couldn't even see the mountains.
01:06:38.920 You couldn't see the mountains
01:06:39.960 and the valve driving the value.
01:06:41.280 You can't see the mountains.
01:06:42.000 People, people, I don't know.
01:06:44.480 And the rest of the country
01:06:45.620 understand the size and the scope
01:06:47.640 and the, um, the effect that
01:06:50.560 these wildfires, uh, have joy.
01:06:53.660 How can we help people?
01:06:56.000 Well, there, the good news is
01:06:58.500 that there's plenty of people who
01:06:59.620 want to help and there is a way
01:07:00.960 to help and being a mercury one
01:07:02.560 ambassador, I'm so proud to say
01:07:04.200 mercury one.org is the best place
01:07:07.200 for people to send their donations
01:07:08.820 because a hundred percent, 100% of
01:07:11.860 those donations go to the family,
01:07:14.500 the community where it's needed the
01:07:16.460 most and the partners that are on
01:07:18.700 the grounds working like different
01:07:20.500 groups out here that I got to
01:07:21.660 actually witness.
01:07:22.420 And I'll be going back again this
01:07:23.820 weekend.
01:07:24.360 So even though there's, there's
01:07:25.800 plenty of items people want to
01:07:27.240 ship, I know people want to send
01:07:29.020 products, but there's more than
01:07:30.720 enough items already here in
01:07:32.560 California.
01:07:32.980 What we need are funds, funds for
01:07:35.380 cleaning, funds for finding people
01:07:37.140 been displaced, funds for helping.
01:07:39.140 So donating anything, even $25
01:07:41.960 will help tremendously at
01:07:44.780 mercuryone.org.
01:07:46.460 Joy, thank you so much.
01:07:47.580 And we'll talk to you again.
01:07:48.260 Are you coming in for the gala?
01:07:49.600 Are you able to do that?
01:07:50.720 I am.
01:07:51.460 I'm excited to see you.
01:07:52.960 I'll be there this Saturday at the
01:07:54.460 Mercury One Gala.
01:07:55.440 You should, you should wear, you
01:07:56.800 should wear your Grammy dress or not.
01:08:01.860 Joy, thank you so much.
01:08:03.060 God bless you.
01:08:04.140 Thank you.
01:08:04.700 We'll see you Saturday.
01:08:05.700 We still have Mercury One partners on
01:08:11.320 the ground in North Carolina.
01:08:13.140 They're in Florida.
01:08:14.800 We still have them doing cleanup in
01:08:17.200 Houston and now wildfires.
01:08:21.240 You know, FEMA ran out of money last
01:08:23.740 year and said, you're going to have to
01:08:24.880 take care of yourself.
01:08:26.080 So far, we have been so greatly blessed
01:08:28.540 because of you.
01:08:29.520 But this is, all the things that we do
01:08:32.780 are on your back.
01:08:34.940 I mean, it's remarkable how giving you
01:08:37.740 are and we appreciate it.
01:08:39.900 And if you'd like to help 100% of the
01:08:42.740 proceeds, go to whatever the problem is
01:08:45.220 at mercuryone.org.
01:08:47.180 Now, the reason why we can do that is
01:08:50.940 because once a year, we have a big gala.
01:08:52.860 We have a big ball.
01:08:53.680 Joy is going to be there this weekend.
01:08:55.420 All kinds of people.
01:08:57.920 Chuck Norris is going to be there.
01:08:59.340 All the whole staff is going to be there
01:09:01.300 from the blaze.
01:09:02.040 All the people you see on TV.
01:09:03.680 We've got a couple of great country
01:09:05.360 stars coming in.
01:09:06.700 Anyway, join us for that.
01:09:09.000 I don't even know if tickets are still
01:09:10.420 available, but I do have two tickets
01:09:13.060 that I'm going to give away tomorrow.
01:09:15.020 And we would love to have you attend
01:09:17.400 and hang out with us.
01:09:19.460 Here's how you win.
01:09:21.060 We're asking you to buy a raffle ticket
01:09:24.080 and you buy this raffle ticket.
01:09:26.880 All the proceeds go to Mercury One.
01:09:29.500 It's $100 a ticket, but again,
01:09:32.760 goes to a really good cause.
01:09:34.080 100% goes to just keep the doors open
01:09:37.240 at Mercury One so we can continue
01:09:40.620 to do our works.
01:09:42.160 You could win a brand new Mercedes.
01:09:45.020 Now, tomorrow, I'm going to draw
01:09:46.300 from everybody who has come in
01:09:48.080 in the last 24 hours.
01:09:49.520 So, starting right now
01:09:51.200 until the time we draw tomorrow.
01:09:53.600 If you buy a raffle ticket,
01:09:55.080 we're going to draw from that pool
01:09:56.440 and you could be coming here
01:09:58.200 to join us at the Mercury Studios.
01:10:00.860 This is the first time we've had the gala
01:10:01.940 here at the Mercury Studios,
01:10:03.280 but it could be at the...
01:10:04.800 You could be Saturday
01:10:05.680 at the Mercury Studios
01:10:06.560 hanging out with all of us
01:10:07.480 and we'd love to see you.
01:10:08.340 So, go there now,
01:10:09.860 buy a raffle ticket,
01:10:10.820 or just donate.
01:10:11.840 You know, if you have five bucks,
01:10:12.920 just donate, please.
01:10:14.500 MercuryOne.org
01:10:15.860 slash M1Ball.
01:10:18.380 Sponsor of this half hour
01:10:19.420 is Relief Factor.
01:10:21.240 Relief Factor
01:10:22.040 is something that's created by doctors
01:10:25.400 and it's 100% drug-free.
01:10:27.300 And it has four key ingredients
01:10:29.520 that help fight your body's
01:10:31.700 natural inflammation.
01:10:34.380 When your body is in pain,
01:10:36.360 a lot of that is coming from inflammation
01:10:38.560 because something is wrong.
01:10:40.140 Have a hard time sleeping
01:10:41.380 through the night,
01:10:42.200 neck, shoulder, back, hip, knee,
01:10:44.300 foot pain, whatever it is.
01:10:48.020 When you get to the point
01:10:49.360 when you're like,
01:10:50.100 I just, I don't,
01:10:51.240 I can't live this way anymore.
01:10:53.640 That's when I started
01:10:54.780 taking Relief Factor.
01:10:56.620 And, you know,
01:10:57.440 they have this quick start.
01:10:58.620 It says, try it for three weeks
01:10:59.960 and if it doesn't work, move on.
01:11:02.520 But 70% of the people
01:11:04.340 who take Relief Factor
01:11:05.500 find the relief they're looking for
01:11:08.040 in three weeks.
01:11:09.740 And I'm one of them.
01:11:11.200 I would have, you know,
01:11:12.380 they've asked me to sponsor,
01:11:13.820 to voice for them
01:11:15.300 for about four years.
01:11:17.040 I didn't take it.
01:11:18.560 I didn't, you know,
01:11:19.420 I don't believe in,
01:11:20.140 I'm sorry, but natural stuff,
01:11:23.560 no drugs in it.
01:11:24.720 How could that possibly work?
01:11:27.440 And my wife finally said,
01:11:29.520 would you just try it?
01:11:30.480 Because I was at the end
01:11:31.620 of my rope last year in pain.
01:11:34.020 Relief Factor, please try it.
01:11:36.520 Get your life back.
01:11:37.900 Try it for three weeks.
01:11:39.300 If it doesn't work,
01:11:40.960 you know, you're,
01:11:42.000 you're no worse off
01:11:43.000 than you are right now.
01:11:44.380 But if it does,
01:11:45.540 you can get your life back.

01:11:56.380 You know,
01:11:59.400 I'm so sick of hearing
01:12:01.460 these kinds of stories.
01:12:03.680 This one comes from Kansas City,
01:12:05.620 the health department there.
01:12:07.440 They're facing backlash now
01:12:09.340 because they poured bleach
01:12:11.780 on meals that were meant
01:12:13.400 for the homeless.
01:12:15.440 And the reason why
01:12:16.620 is they had problems
01:12:17.620 with the way the food
01:12:18.620 was prepared.
01:12:19.240 They weren't,
01:12:19.780 they weren't prepared
01:12:20.980 in a city-approved kitchen.
01:12:23.280 And because of that,
01:12:25.320 we had to pour bleach
01:12:26.480 over all of this.
01:12:28.620 Kansas City Star reports
01:12:29.800 that the group
01:12:30.800 Free Hot Soup KC
01:12:32.760 had intended to distribute food
01:12:35.660 such as, you know,
01:12:36.820 home-cooked chili,
01:12:37.940 foil-wrapped sandwiches,
01:12:39.060 and soup to the homeless
01:12:40.780 on November 5th.
01:12:41.800 But the city's health department
01:12:43.480 came in,
01:12:44.360 took all of the items
01:12:45.740 at separate parks
01:12:47.100 where the food was,
01:12:48.280 was going to be handed out.
01:12:50.280 And they were asked,
01:12:51.920 do you have a permit
01:12:52.720 to do this?
01:12:53.480 And they're like,
01:12:53.900 no, we're just handing out soup.
01:12:57.560 Well, where was this prepared?
01:12:59.200 Wasn't prepared
01:12:59.840 in an approved kitchen,
01:13:01.240 so they poured bleach
01:13:02.440 in the food
01:13:03.900 and all over the food.
01:13:05.420 Now, can I,
01:13:06.180 can I ask you a question?
01:13:08.760 This,
01:13:09.300 this closes people's hearts.
01:13:11.720 This doesn't help.
01:13:12.800 This closes people's hearts.
01:13:15.480 You think,
01:13:16.800 what is the name of this place?
01:13:18.220 Free Hot Soup KC.
01:13:20.620 Do you think the people
01:13:21.560 want their name
01:13:23.240 in the paper
01:13:24.100 saying that they caused,
01:13:26.020 you know,
01:13:27.180 a salmonella breakout
01:13:28.300 with all the homeless?
01:13:30.260 They'd be destroyed.
01:13:31.420 The people would be destroyed.
01:13:34.560 That's a,
01:13:35.360 that's a big enough deterrent.
01:13:38.360 Why do you have to control everything?
01:13:41.000 Why,
01:13:41.340 why are you trying to teach us
01:13:43.200 not to help each other?
01:13:44.840 And Kansas City,
01:13:47.580 they,
01:13:47.720 they came out and they said,
01:13:48.680 well,
01:13:48.980 we,
01:13:49.240 we have laws.
01:13:50.420 We have laws.
01:13:51.640 And,
01:13:52.100 you know,
01:13:52.500 everybody has to,
01:13:53.600 has to help us protect
01:13:55.020 the public health.
01:13:56.800 Really?
01:13:57.280 By throwing away lots of food
01:13:58.580 for the homeless who need it.
01:14:00.800 It's so ridiculous.
01:14:01.880 So ridiculous.
01:14:02.560 People get so worried
01:14:03.500 about this stuff.
01:14:04.160 You are likely,
01:14:05.080 in your entire life,
01:14:06.560 to never consume
01:14:07.680 a piece of seafood
01:14:08.700 that was even
01:14:09.620 visually inspected
01:14:11.240 by the FDA.
01:14:12.580 That's how good
01:14:13.220 our system is.
01:14:13.940 That's how good
01:14:14.400 capitalism works.
01:14:15.720 People have incentives.
01:14:16.880 It's not because
01:14:17.280 of inspections.
01:14:18.640 Even visual inspections,
01:14:20.960 you are likely
01:14:22.040 to never consume
01:14:23.400 a piece of seafood
01:14:24.540 in your life
01:14:25.280 that was visually
01:14:25.940 inspected.
01:14:26.560 Never?
01:14:27.020 Never.
01:14:28.140 Because there's way
01:14:29.400 too much coming in.
01:14:30.120 They can't inspect it all.
01:14:31.720 And people are like,
01:14:33.280 oh my gosh,
01:14:33.760 can you believe
01:14:34.120 they want to cut
01:14:34.520 the budget of the FDA?
01:14:35.800 And it's like,
01:14:36.200 well,
01:14:36.980 you realize that
01:14:37.860 they're,
01:14:38.680 that this is a point
01:14:39.920 against you
01:14:40.740 capitalism works
01:14:42.440 so well.
01:14:42.980 These incentives
01:14:43.480 work so well
01:14:44.480 that this food
01:14:45.000 comes in
01:14:45.360 and you almost
01:14:45.940 never get sick
01:14:46.760 even though
01:14:47.660 it's not inspected
01:14:48.440 at all
01:14:48.920 because they have
01:14:50.080 an incentive
01:14:50.540 to make sure
01:14:51.280 that they don't
01:14:51.820 screw it up.
01:14:52.640 You're out of business.
01:14:53.860 I mean,
01:14:54.060 with the exception
01:14:54.520 of Jack in the Box,
01:14:55.820 you're out of business.
01:14:56.860 I know Jack in the Box
01:14:58.440 hates it when I bring that up
01:14:59.560 because it's been
01:15:00.020 like 40 years.
01:15:01.240 Right.
01:15:01.620 But I mean,
01:15:01.940 again,
01:15:02.160 they took a huge hit
01:15:02.880 for that.
01:15:03.320 I mean,
01:15:03.420 that was a massive scandal
01:15:04.540 and it's the reason
01:15:05.360 why they're still
01:15:05.820 getting mentioned today
01:15:06.640 in a negative context
01:15:07.540 even though their food
01:15:08.140 is delicious.
01:15:09.800 I mean,
01:15:10.000 eating breakfast all day.
01:15:11.320 They got the
01:15:11.780 freestyle Coke machines.
01:15:13.100 I mean,
01:15:13.260 it's like they put it together.
01:15:16.080 I've got two small kids.
01:15:17.220 I bring them there
01:15:17.600 all the time.
01:15:18.160 All right.
01:15:18.400 That's how much
01:15:18.840 I trust capitalism.
01:15:19.860 All right.
01:15:20.260 All right.
01:15:21.240 But you're right.
01:15:22.920 The incentive is there.
01:15:25.140 Who's going to bring,
01:15:26.260 you know,
01:15:27.020 moldy sandwiches down?
01:15:28.580 You don't think
01:15:29.240 those people
01:15:29.880 are going to be
01:15:30.620 the known plague
01:15:33.380 on the city?
01:15:35.000 You don't do that.
01:15:36.560 You don't do that.
01:15:37.540 Trust people.
01:15:39.860 Trust the system.
01:15:41.560 Trust the normal
01:15:42.860 checks and balances.
01:15:44.800 I,
01:15:45.360 if I were in Kansas City,
01:15:47.660 I'd be outraged.
01:15:48.920 I'd be outraged.
01:15:49.820 I mean,
01:15:49.980 look at,
01:15:50.600 while they're doing this,
01:15:52.400 San Francisco
01:15:53.080 has just passed
01:15:54.280 with 59.9%
01:15:56.420 of the vote
01:15:57.020 Proposition C.
01:15:59.240 You say,
01:16:00.180 what is Proposition C?
01:16:02.280 Well,
01:16:02.680 it's going to mean
01:16:03.840 victory for the homeless.
01:16:05.800 Oh,
01:16:06.120 good.
01:16:06.360 They're going to have a home
01:16:07.600 and they're going to,
01:16:08.840 and the city is finally
01:16:10.100 going to help those
01:16:10.940 truly in need.
01:16:12.940 Well,
01:16:13.360 that doesn't tell me anything.
01:16:14.720 What is Proposition C?
01:16:17.840 Well,
01:16:18.300 this means the homeless
01:16:19.400 are going to have a home.
01:16:20.300 No,
01:16:20.460 what exactly does it mean
01:16:22.720 when we come back?
01:16:24.100 Hey,
01:16:26.660 it's Glenn,
01:16:27.180 and I want to tell you
01:16:28.040 about something
01:16:28.420 that you should either
01:16:29.140 end your day with
01:16:30.140 or start your morning with,
01:16:33.060 and that is
01:16:33.880 the news and why it matters.
01:16:36.040 If you like this show,
01:16:37.140 you're going to love
01:16:37.980 the news and why it matters.
01:16:39.540 It's a bunch of us
01:16:40.440 that all get together
01:16:41.340 at the end of the day
01:16:42.160 and just talk about
01:16:43.000 the stories that matter
01:16:44.120 to you and your life.
01:16:45.760 The news and why it matters.
01:16:46.900 Look for it now
01:16:47.680 wherever you download
01:16:48.440 your favorite podcast.
01:16:50.820 Glenn Beck.
01:16:52.200 Well,
01:16:52.560 after years of
01:16:53.980 really stoking
01:16:55.860 the dreams of cities
01:16:57.780 all across the country,
01:16:59.840 where is Amazon
01:17:00.780 going to build
01:17:01.960 their next,
01:17:03.440 their second headquarters?
01:17:05.180 Where could it possibly be?
01:17:07.560 Well,
01:17:08.160 after an exhaustive search,
01:17:10.580 Amazon has decided
01:17:12.240 on New York City.
01:17:15.840 No,
01:17:16.900 really?
01:17:18.260 But,
01:17:19.460 they said,
01:17:19.980 we don't want to leave out
01:17:21.300 the rest of the country.
01:17:22.940 We want to make sure
01:17:23.920 we're touching
01:17:24.580 the hearts and lives
01:17:26.300 of everyone.
01:17:27.260 So,
01:17:27.800 they're also building
01:17:29.060 a second,
01:17:29.920 second headquarters
01:17:30.980 in Northern Virginia,
01:17:34.360 otherwise known as,
01:17:35.900 you know,
01:17:37.320 suburban D.C.
01:17:40.020 Wow.
01:17:40.660 Now,
01:17:40.880 that's a,
01:17:41.460 I mean,
01:17:41.880 that's amazing.
01:17:42.540 First of all,
01:17:43.520 one headquarters,
01:17:44.720 that's your second headquarters,
01:17:46.240 just not enough for Amazon.
01:17:47.480 They have to have
01:17:47.940 two second headquarters,
01:17:49.140 which is fantastic.
01:17:50.480 And then they had
01:17:51.440 the bravery,
01:17:53.640 the bravery
01:17:54.380 to pick
01:17:55.380 New York City
01:17:56.760 and suburban D.C.
01:17:59.600 That's,
01:18:00.320 I mean,
01:18:00.820 wow,
01:18:01.240 that took a lot of,
01:18:02.200 that took a lot of guts.
01:18:04.060 Now,
01:18:04.200 the socialist mayor
01:18:05.400 in New York,
01:18:06.100 Bill Blasio,
01:18:06.840 de Blasio said,
01:18:07.780 the single biggest
01:18:08.660 economic development deal
01:18:10.100 in the history
01:18:10.920 of New York City.
01:18:13.500 Now,
01:18:14.060 now hang on just a second,
01:18:15.320 because I thought
01:18:15.900 these jobs sucked.
01:18:17.840 I thought all these jobs
01:18:18.820 that Amazon was making,
01:18:19.680 I thought everybody hated that.
01:18:20.860 I thought Amazon
01:18:21.400 was the big evil monster.
01:18:23.260 80 hours a week,
01:18:24.280 nonstop.
01:18:25.240 Yeah,
01:18:25.520 I mean,
01:18:26.100 it's bad.
01:18:27.440 Horrible working conditions,
01:18:29.000 forcing people
01:18:29.700 to work extra hours,
01:18:31.260 no culture at all.
01:18:33.660 Right.
01:18:33.860 Remember this,
01:18:34.280 now all these same
01:18:35.280 liberal cities
01:18:35.940 are just begging Amazon
01:18:37.520 to show up.
01:18:38.280 Why would they,
01:18:38.760 are they punishing
01:18:39.400 their constituents?
01:18:40.100 I'm not sure.
01:18:41.280 Now,
01:18:41.480 the Cato Institute
01:18:42.340 rakes New York
01:18:43.240 as the worst state
01:18:44.160 in the country
01:18:44.600 for economic freedom.
01:18:45.640 It's been ranked 50th
01:18:47.520 now for years.
01:18:50.880 50th out of what,
01:18:51.760 though?
01:18:51.920 That's the thing.
01:18:52.480 You haven't answered that.
01:18:52.900 Well,
01:18:53.040 out of 50.
01:18:53.800 Out of 50.
01:18:55.320 The other
01:18:56.160 headquarter location,
01:18:58.040 Northern Virginia,
01:18:59.200 is technically correct,
01:19:00.860 but it's really
01:19:01.420 Washington, D.C.,
01:19:02.480 which doesn't scare
01:19:03.560 the hell out of me at all.
01:19:05.240 No,
01:19:05.420 it's good to give
01:19:05.900 more power
01:19:06.700 to a corporation
01:19:08.080 like Amazon
01:19:08.500 to just intertwine
01:19:09.460 itself with the government.
01:19:10.640 With the government even more.
01:19:11.720 I think that's fantastic.
01:19:13.280 Now,
01:19:14.560 the brand new
01:19:16.240 Democratic Socialist
01:19:17.240 Congresswoman,
01:19:19.320 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,
01:19:21.740 she's a little upset.
01:19:23.580 She says that this isn't,
01:19:24.940 you know,
01:19:25.160 this isn't really good,
01:19:26.360 but I don't understand that.
01:19:28.200 I mean,
01:19:28.560 you know,
01:19:28.820 25,000 new jobs
01:19:30.160 and the average salary
01:19:31.540 is 150,000.
01:19:32.960 And that's not,
01:19:34.100 that's not an exaggeration.
01:19:35.540 And I'm sure
01:19:36.340 all of the people
01:19:37.260 in,
01:19:37.740 you know,
01:19:38.300 in her little area
01:19:39.820 of Brooklyn
01:19:40.460 where they're building this,
01:19:41.360 I'm sure all those people
01:19:42.640 are going to be the first
01:19:43.480 on the list
01:19:44.220 for Amazon to hire.
01:19:45.580 Don't you think?
01:19:46.380 I'm sure they are.
01:19:47.300 It's not going to just
01:19:47.820 drive the property rates
01:19:48.780 up through the roof
01:19:49.580 and then have the little people
01:19:50.960 go,
01:19:51.280 what the hell happened to me?
01:19:52.340 I will say,
01:19:52.720 at least she's being consistent.
01:19:53.780 Yeah.
01:19:54.580 Congratulations on that.
01:19:55.500 Unlike most of the people
01:19:56.180 in New York.
01:19:56.640 Well,
01:19:56.780 like Bill de Blasio.
01:19:57.780 Yeah.
01:19:58.220 You know,
01:19:58.680 the socialist.
01:19:59.680 Yeah.
01:20:00.060 Doesn't like big business
01:20:00.980 and then bends over backwards,
01:20:02.600 gives them a huge sweet deal.
01:20:04.460 Billions of taxpayer dollars
01:20:05.820 to bribe them
01:20:06.680 to come to their city.
01:20:07.640 Yeah.
01:20:08.200 Yeah.
01:20:08.560 So they've picked so far,
01:20:10.740 you know,
01:20:11.620 as the entrepreneurial bastions
01:20:13.620 of the world,
01:20:14.660 Seattle,
01:20:16.620 New York City
01:20:17.380 and Washington,
01:20:19.180 D.C.
01:20:19.700 It's Wednesday,
01:20:24.560 November 14th.
01:20:26.220 You're listening
01:20:26.980 to the Glenn Beck Program.
01:20:28.260 Now we bring in
01:20:29.000 Andrew Heaton
01:20:30.820 to join us.
01:20:33.720 He's from,
01:20:35.340 what is it?
01:20:37.100 Something's Off?
01:20:37.940 Something's Off
01:20:38.700 with Andrew Heaton.
01:20:39.660 Yeah.
01:20:39.980 I just,
01:20:40.360 I keep,
01:20:40.840 and I've just never heard
01:20:42.220 of a name of a show
01:20:43.840 that is more accurate
01:20:45.320 than that one.
01:20:45.900 Thank you.
01:20:46.100 It's Tom for the Charts
01:20:46.860 with the Heaton family
01:20:47.520 right now.
01:20:47.920 Yeah.
01:20:48.140 It's doing really well.
01:20:49.020 It's doing really well.
01:20:49.780 It's a hit in Alva, Oklahoma.
01:20:51.000 Yeah.
01:20:51.400 Okay.
01:20:51.640 So anyway,
01:20:52.300 something's Off
01:20:53.060 with Andrew Heaton
01:20:53.760 and it's a look at the news
01:20:55.320 and kind of an enjoyable
01:20:56.860 look at the news.
01:20:57.760 Thank you.
01:20:58.140 Yeah.
01:20:58.340 Because you don't really
01:20:59.000 get into all of the
01:21:00.240 tit for tat kind of stuff.
01:21:01.900 I think that the news
01:21:03.660 has so much bile in it
01:21:05.560 right now
01:21:06.100 and so much,
01:21:07.760 it's as if everybody
01:21:08.660 sits down at the beginning
01:21:09.500 of the day and goes,
01:21:10.160 let's talk about
01:21:10.880 which team is the good team,
01:21:12.240 which team is the bad team.
01:21:13.160 And I don't think
01:21:13.680 that's helpful.
01:21:14.120 And I'd rather just kind of
01:21:14.900 be a release valve
01:21:15.560 for everybody.
01:21:16.200 Yeah.
01:21:16.380 We'll talk about
01:21:16.980 substantive stuff.
01:21:17.680 We had a good chat yesterday
01:21:18.660 about kind of the way
01:21:20.120 the parties break down
01:21:21.160 and everything.
01:21:21.620 But I kick it off
01:21:23.060 with something
01:21:24.320 that's a little bit
01:21:24.860 more enjoyable.
01:21:25.400 Well, I didn't think
01:21:27.000 that it was the best thing
01:21:27.980 to start the show
01:21:29.040 with animal news.
01:21:30.000 No, no, no.
01:21:30.320 Animal news is great.
01:21:31.120 Yeah.
01:21:31.580 But I was surprised
01:21:32.660 because what you told me
01:21:35.240 yesterday in your podcast
01:21:37.460 actually helps me make sense
01:21:40.100 of what's happening
01:21:40.760 in Florida.
01:21:41.400 Yes, it does.
01:21:41.880 Thank you.
01:21:42.560 Yeah.
01:21:43.360 So I do a lot
01:21:44.780 of research every day
01:21:45.480 and this was from
01:21:46.380 a credible publication.
01:21:47.220 It's from National Geographic.
01:21:48.420 Right.
01:21:48.860 But there was a story
01:21:50.320 that I read about
01:21:50.940 how Florida's worried
01:21:52.280 about monkeys
01:21:55.500 escaped rhesus macaque monkeys
01:21:58.620 with a deadly herpes simplex bee
01:22:01.000 that can jump species
01:22:02.360 running amok through Florida.
01:22:04.480 And I looked into this.
01:22:05.820 Where did this?
01:22:06.740 I mean, first of all,
01:22:07.740 standard headline for Florida.
01:22:08.980 This seems about right.
01:22:10.100 Yeah.
01:22:10.300 Florida reads that.
01:22:11.320 They don't even read this story.
01:22:12.200 They're like, of course.
01:22:13.120 It's Tuesday.
01:22:13.940 We got it.
01:22:14.400 Thank you.
01:22:15.600 Monkeys running.
01:22:16.320 Monkeys are going to ruin everybody.
01:22:17.820 Yeah.
01:22:18.040 In 1938,
01:22:19.300 this guy wanted to start
01:22:21.320 a Tarzan themed island
01:22:22.840 in Florida.
01:22:23.700 So he purchased
01:22:25.200 six rhesus macaque monkeys
01:22:26.840 from a dealer in New York
01:22:29.880 and he dropped them
01:22:30.560 off of this island.
01:22:31.500 Wait, wait, wait.
01:22:32.500 Yeah.
01:22:32.720 Wait, you go to New York
01:22:33.980 for your...
01:22:34.800 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:22:35.440 That's it.
01:22:35.740 You go to the macaque district
01:22:36.840 over on 34th Street.
01:22:38.600 Okay.
01:22:39.100 That's it.
01:22:39.500 I wasn't aware of that.
01:22:41.460 Redevelopment zone.
01:22:42.200 Right.
01:22:42.500 There's lots of good tax breaks
01:22:44.200 for that.
01:22:44.640 Right, okay.
01:22:45.560 Yeah, get your monkeys here.
01:22:46.640 Okay.
01:22:46.880 He bought these monkeys
01:22:47.980 and he released them
01:22:48.640 on this island
01:22:49.120 and he didn't know
01:22:49.700 that rhesus macaque monkeys
01:22:50.740 are apparently the Michael Phelps
01:22:52.080 of the monkey family
01:22:53.140 and they were there
01:22:54.220 45 minutes before they escaped
01:22:56.060 into the woods of...
01:22:57.760 or into the sweltering
01:22:59.320 swampland of Florida
01:23:01.640 and they've been breeding
01:23:02.540 there ever since.
01:23:03.300 They're up to like a...
01:23:04.420 They're up to several hundred
01:23:05.660 or a few thousand
01:23:06.480 or something like that
01:23:07.060 and they're increasing
01:23:08.160 at 11% per year.
01:23:09.740 And again,
01:23:10.060 I want to get back
01:23:10.720 to this deadly
01:23:11.920 herpes simplex V virus
01:23:13.740 because this is what...
01:23:15.520 I was like,
01:23:15.980 well, I mean,
01:23:16.720 are you saying that
01:23:17.520 people are sleeping?
01:23:18.840 No, it's not that
01:23:19.720 anybody's doing anything
01:23:20.720 untowardly monkeys.
01:23:21.060 Well, I mean, again,
01:23:22.020 it is Florida.
01:23:22.960 It's possible.
01:23:23.740 It is possible.
01:23:25.180 That is one ugly woman,
01:23:26.740 but...
01:23:27.420 Somebody did die from it.
01:23:29.120 No, I'll say this.
01:23:30.440 If you're in Florida,
01:23:31.040 I don't think you...
01:23:31.720 I think there's way more stuff
01:23:32.600 to be worried about
01:23:33.160 if you're in Florida
01:23:33.780 than these deadly monkeys.
01:23:34.820 I think they're like number eight
01:23:35.780 of the things to be worried about.
01:23:37.220 I don't know.
01:23:37.940 I think you might be better off
01:23:39.300 if you worry about
01:23:40.220 the deadly monkeys.
01:23:41.180 Your day will be more enjoyable.
01:23:42.500 Yes.
01:23:43.020 The monkeys are number eight.
01:23:44.160 Where is the Broward County
01:23:45.340 election board?
01:23:46.360 Oh, gosh.
01:23:46.960 I think I'd put that
01:23:47.840 at like number seven.
01:23:48.720 I still think...
01:23:49.620 I think the actual
01:23:50.780 systemic Florida problem
01:23:52.220 is far outrank
01:23:53.140 any flash-in-the-pan elections
01:23:54.440 that are going on.
01:23:54.960 Right, okay.
01:23:55.540 Yeah, you can't...
01:23:56.740 If you catch this herpes simplex B
01:23:58.980 from the rhesus monkeys,
01:24:00.580 it'll give you...
01:24:03.280 It does spinal inflammation
01:24:04.880 and it'll either kill you
01:24:06.140 or give you brain damage.
01:24:07.720 And it's very difficult to get,
01:24:09.500 but if you get monkey body fluid
01:24:12.540 in your eye
01:24:13.160 or something like that,
01:24:14.340 like when I'm throwing
01:24:15.240 something at you
01:24:15.940 or you're performing
01:24:16.620 open-heart surgery
01:24:17.420 on a monkey
01:24:17.940 out of a van...
01:24:19.400 Right, because I heard you
01:24:20.320 say this last night
01:24:21.300 that if you get...
01:24:22.980 Because one person
01:24:23.640 who died from it,
01:24:24.480 she got...
01:24:24.900 Yeah.
01:24:25.420 Yeah, she got monkey body fluid
01:24:27.740 in her eye.
01:24:28.020 Yeah, they didn't say what,
01:24:28.820 but you know...
01:24:29.620 Yeah, I want to...
01:24:31.320 We don't know.
01:24:32.260 I mean, monkeys,
01:24:33.160 you know,
01:24:33.320 they could have thrown something.
01:24:34.440 They could...
01:24:34.660 There's any number of...
01:24:35.440 We don't know.
01:24:36.140 Any number of situations,
01:24:36.960 but it did kill her,
01:24:37.560 so it is a concern.
01:24:38.700 Right.
01:24:38.860 And they're coming up
01:24:39.740 with all these solutions
01:24:40.660 of like,
01:24:41.040 well, we can castrate
01:24:44.740 every fourth monkey.
01:24:45.900 Like, that's a solution
01:24:46.640 is to try and like,
01:24:47.580 we don't want to ruin
01:24:48.100 the population.
01:24:49.720 Right.
01:24:50.100 And the thing that I started
01:24:51.300 thinking about was
01:24:53.120 Florida has 29 electoral votes.
01:24:57.320 It has deadly,
01:24:58.820 escaped,
01:24:59.960 swimming,
01:25:00.640 racist macaque monkeys.
01:25:02.300 And it has 29 electoral votes.
01:25:04.660 Right.
01:25:04.900 George F. Will,
01:25:06.220 zero electoral votes.
01:25:07.620 Right.
01:25:07.960 George F. Will,
01:25:08.800 he lives in a library.
01:25:10.060 He basically lives in a library
01:25:11.520 with a mattress in the middle.
01:25:12.680 Right.
01:25:12.780 He's a smart,
01:25:13.480 educated guy.
01:25:14.720 No electoral votes.
01:25:15.900 Only guilty of like,
01:25:16.960 oblique baseball metaphors.
01:25:19.280 No electoral votes.
01:25:20.280 Go to George F. Will.
01:25:21.620 And Florida gets 29.
01:25:23.740 And that just didn't seem fair to me.
01:25:24.860 Right.
01:25:25.520 Right.
01:25:26.500 I think,
01:25:27.000 I didn't get into this podcast,
01:25:28.820 but I think,
01:25:29.400 because there is all this difficulty
01:25:30.840 with Broward County
01:25:31.340 and everything else
01:25:31.860 going on in Florida,
01:25:32.600 I think next election,
01:25:33.560 Florida,
01:25:34.020 if you're in Florida,
01:25:34.840 you should be allowed
01:25:35.440 to vote for another state,
01:25:37.160 Canadian province,
01:25:37.920 or astronaut.
01:25:38.920 And that gets to make
01:25:39.960 your vote for you.
01:25:40.840 That's my plan for Florida
01:25:42.000 is kind of take them,
01:25:42.980 just remove the whole state
01:25:44.340 a little bit
01:25:44.840 from the decision making process.
01:25:45.200 Have we thought about
01:25:46.060 taking the monkeys
01:25:47.260 and putting them
01:25:48.080 in charge of the vote?
01:25:49.340 I mean,
01:25:50.380 I could see a lot of elections
01:25:51.840 going worse
01:25:52.620 than having,
01:25:53.580 you know,
01:25:53.860 these monkeys.
01:25:54.660 I mean,
01:25:54.860 because all those
01:25:55.460 that are only truly,
01:25:56.580 I mean,
01:25:56.860 if you're being paid off
01:25:58.100 or if you're just like
01:25:59.080 casting a fake ballot,
01:26:00.780 you're not going to do it
01:26:01.480 if you think the supervisor
01:26:02.480 is going to throw some,
01:26:03.420 you know,
01:26:04.160 some feces at you
01:26:05.180 and it might get in your eye
01:26:06.020 and kill you.
01:26:06.760 Or you could,
01:26:07.140 you know,
01:26:07.300 they make those investing things
01:26:08.740 about like a monkey can,
01:26:09.780 you know,
01:26:10.000 throw darts at a dartboard.
01:26:11.460 Maybe that's how you pick propositions
01:26:13.040 is you,
01:26:13.760 you just,
01:26:14.960 you put the monkeys in charge.
01:26:16.020 I like that.
01:26:16.480 So California
01:26:20.280 is another state
01:26:21.720 that I think
01:26:22.380 may have
01:26:23.780 rhesus macaque
01:26:25.020 monkeys running
01:26:26.460 rampant in it.
01:26:28.740 The San Francisco
01:26:30.820 voter population
01:26:33.840 went out to vote
01:26:34.920 on Proposition C
01:26:36.180 and it passed
01:26:38.780 with 59.9%
01:26:40.440 of the vote.
01:26:41.500 And this is,
01:26:43.000 may I quote,
01:26:43.900 it's over half the vote.
01:26:44.880 Yeah.
01:26:45.580 Proposite.
01:26:46.620 Wow,
01:26:46.860 you are bright.
01:26:47.780 You are really.
01:26:48.460 Thank you very much.
01:26:49.100 Did you just do that on yourself?
01:26:50.540 Magna cum laude.
01:26:52.200 Proposition C's victory.
01:26:53.700 Now listen to this.
01:26:54.720 Proposition C's victory
01:26:55.920 means the homeless
01:26:57.000 will have a home
01:26:58.480 and the help
01:26:59.860 they truly need
01:27:01.000 because the city
01:27:02.440 has come together
01:27:03.400 in love.
01:27:05.140 So is it just
01:27:06.320 a resolution
01:27:06.860 that we want
01:27:07.480 to help homeless people
01:27:08.380 or does it have
01:27:08.880 force of law behind it?
01:27:09.860 No,
01:27:10.320 it's the largest
01:27:11.440 tax increase
01:27:12.840 in San Francisco
01:27:13.840 history.
01:27:14.620 Oh,
01:27:15.040 okay.
01:27:15.840 Was it a loving tax increase?
01:27:17.060 If it was just
01:27:17.500 the resolution,
01:27:18.120 I was like,
01:27:18.400 I always really like it
01:27:19.200 when Congress debates
01:27:20.020 like if the buffalo
01:27:20.840 should be the national
01:27:21.640 mammal or something.
01:27:22.500 I feel like they're not
01:27:23.260 messing with the economy.
01:27:24.720 So maybe,
01:27:25.180 but okay,
01:27:25.520 but they're actually
01:27:25.900 doing stuff.
01:27:26.340 No,
01:27:26.360 they're doing this.
01:27:28.500 Companies with more
01:27:29.160 than $50 million
01:27:29.920 in gross revenue receipts
01:27:31.460 will now be taxed
01:27:32.940 on any gross annual
01:27:33.780 receipt revenue
01:27:34.580 in San Francisco.
01:27:35.900 So,
01:27:36.520 and they already have that.
01:27:37.940 So this is just
01:27:38.620 a giant increase.
01:27:40.000 It means that a,
01:27:40.980 you know,
01:27:41.920 a company that's doing
01:27:43.020 like,
01:27:44.520 like they say
01:27:45.460 Salesforce here.
01:27:47.440 I don't know how much
01:27:48.420 Salesforce is making
01:27:49.520 in San Francisco,
01:27:50.260 but they say that it will,
01:27:52.100 it'll have to pay
01:27:53.460 around $10 million
01:27:54.480 per year,
01:27:55.800 which is,
01:27:57.580 you know,
01:27:58.400 it's no big deal.
01:27:59.180 Are they just,
01:28:00.100 this is where I dropped
01:28:01.540 the funny thing.
01:28:01.980 Are they giving out
01:28:02.460 vouchers for,
01:28:03.320 for,
01:28:03.780 for rental apartments?
01:28:05.220 Are they building
01:28:05.860 homeless shelters?
01:28:06.540 Or where's the money
01:28:07.100 going to go?
01:28:07.460 Did you hear what I said?
01:28:10.680 They're taking the money.
01:28:11.340 I heard that.
01:28:11.780 They're going to love.
01:28:12.440 Proposition C.
01:28:13.100 They're going to love.
01:28:13.900 Clearly to love.
01:28:14.600 This victory,
01:28:14.860 now that they've done this,
01:28:15.920 this means the homeless
01:28:17.000 will have a home
01:28:17.840 and the help they truly need.
01:28:19.560 And love.
01:28:20.260 You didn't even say
01:28:20.800 the love part.
01:28:21.280 Say the love part.
01:28:22.060 That's the best part.
01:28:22.580 Because the city came together
01:28:23.600 for love for those
01:28:24.720 who need it most.
01:28:25.680 Am I to understand
01:28:26.780 then that they just,
01:28:27.500 they just came up
01:28:28.240 with a tax plan
01:28:28.980 without a spending plan?
01:28:30.600 I mean,
01:28:30.820 like,
01:28:30.980 I'm actually,
01:28:31.480 that never happens.
01:28:32.260 I'm very impressed
01:28:33.060 if someone actually
01:28:33.860 was just like,
01:28:34.500 hey,
01:28:34.680 you know what?
01:28:35.000 We feel like
01:28:35.520 we might spend money
01:28:36.320 in the future
01:28:36.780 so we're going to tax you now.
01:28:37.860 Like,
01:28:38.020 usually we do it
01:28:38.520 the other way around.
01:28:39.180 Well,
01:28:39.360 no,
01:28:39.560 they,
01:28:39.780 I mean,
01:28:40.000 they have,
01:28:40.640 they have,
01:28:41.360 they have a plan.
01:28:42.060 They've,
01:28:42.280 they've already,
01:28:43.000 they've,
01:28:43.300 you know,
01:28:43.520 they've,
01:28:43.780 they've,
01:28:44.040 they've,
01:28:44.460 they've doubled the money
01:28:47.060 that they're spending now
01:28:47.860 on the homeless problem
01:28:48.580 to $300 million.
01:28:49.900 But I want to show you
01:28:50.500 how effective it is.
01:28:52.560 The overall rate
01:28:53.780 of homelessness
01:28:54.540 in San Francisco
01:28:55.600 in 2004
01:28:56.820 was 8,640.
01:29:00.280 Now,
01:29:00.500 I think,
01:29:01.080 I've been to San Francisco.
01:29:02.680 I'm going to go
01:29:02.960 with a higher number now.
01:29:03.720 They may be using an abacus.
01:29:05.600 Okay.
01:29:06.200 Because I think
01:29:06.960 there's more than 8,000.
01:29:09.000 But,
01:29:10.040 in just that,
01:29:11.140 that short period of time,
01:29:13.100 just 13 years,
01:29:14.260 they've dropped that down
01:29:15.300 to 7,499.
01:29:18.660 So,
01:29:19.400 you know,
01:29:19.660 they've,
01:29:19.920 they've gotten,
01:29:20.800 you know.
01:29:21.540 So,
01:29:21.900 I just want to make sure
01:29:22.540 I understand.
01:29:23.180 Their position is
01:29:24.100 they've lowered
01:29:24.760 the homeless population
01:29:25.900 in San Francisco
01:29:26.800 in the last 13 years.
01:29:27.740 That's their position,
01:29:28.380 yes.
01:29:28.820 Yeah.
01:29:29.380 That,
01:29:29.760 I don't believe them at all.
01:29:31.180 So,
01:29:31.520 just so we're clear.
01:29:32.540 Well,
01:29:32.880 I mean,
01:29:33.300 I don't know
01:29:33.680 if they're counting
01:29:34.140 the people
01:29:34.520 who are living in tents
01:29:35.380 as homeless now.
01:29:37.080 I mean,
01:29:37.660 that's a,
01:29:38.020 that's a,
01:29:38.440 that's a big one.
01:29:39.320 So,
01:29:39.760 you know,
01:29:40.520 and that's,
01:29:40.860 and that's one of the things
01:29:41.920 that they're doing
01:29:42.520 with the money
01:29:43.260 is,
01:29:43.600 is,
01:29:44.000 is tents.
01:29:44.860 What about love?
01:29:45.660 Are they doing love?
01:29:46.120 Well,
01:29:46.380 they,
01:29:46.520 they are sending in,
01:29:47.640 I'm not making this up.
01:29:48.820 They are sending in maid service.
01:29:50.420 Really?
01:29:51.040 Yes.
01:29:51.680 Yes.
01:29:52.000 To the,
01:29:52.540 to the cities.
01:29:53.520 Yeah.
01:29:53.680 Really?
01:29:54.160 Yeah,
01:29:54.300 because the homeless can't,
01:29:55.800 you know,
01:29:56.200 be expected to clean it up.
01:29:57.640 So,
01:29:57.980 I'm going to,
01:29:58.740 I'm going to play devil's advocate
01:30:00.200 here for that.
01:30:00.620 Okay,
01:30:00.720 go ahead.
01:30:01.120 Yeah.
01:30:01.420 Let's say you're a,
01:30:03.080 you're a big city
01:30:03.800 on the West Coast
01:30:04.660 and you spend a ton of money
01:30:06.020 on dealing with homeless problems.
01:30:08.180 It might just attract
01:30:09.180 more homeless people.
01:30:09.900 I mean,
01:30:10.120 like it might suck them out
01:30:10.940 of other cities,
01:30:11.460 right?
01:30:11.760 I don't think that's
01:30:12.400 a devil's advocate.
01:30:13.340 That's,
01:30:13.720 that's just,
01:30:14.080 I think that's the truth.
01:30:15.140 Oh,
01:30:15.300 okay.
01:30:15.820 Well,
01:30:16.000 in which case,
01:30:16.860 like,
01:30:17.140 you know,
01:30:17.400 like,
01:30:17.520 you know,
01:30:17.980 they're,
01:30:18.160 they're being compassionate
01:30:19.380 in this regard.
01:30:20.080 Like,
01:30:20.360 there's a difference
01:30:21.080 between shifting the problem
01:30:24.100 versus creating the problem,
01:30:25.120 I guess is what I'm saying,
01:30:26.000 right?
01:30:26.200 Well,
01:30:26.360 but they've clearly
01:30:27.140 already indicated
01:30:28.040 this is about love.
01:30:29.080 So we know it's a good motivation.
01:30:30.600 And if there's one thing
01:30:31.380 the government's good at doing,
01:30:32.740 it's loving you.
01:30:33.900 A large corporate body
01:30:35.340 of bureaucrats
01:30:36.100 that you can't meet
01:30:37.040 or fire
01:30:37.600 can love
01:30:38.660 the hell out of you.
01:30:39.640 Yeah.
01:30:40.840 Yeah.
01:30:41.200 Every year I get my birthday card
01:30:42.800 from the government
01:30:43.480 and I get my Christmas card
01:30:45.380 from the government.
01:30:46.240 I'm just filled with love.
01:30:47.220 Unlike the 60s,
01:30:47.980 this is not free love.
01:30:49.020 However,
01:30:49.440 this is,
01:30:49.920 this is very expensive love.
01:30:51.220 Yeah.
01:30:51.460 So now let me ask you this.
01:30:53.020 Speaking of love,
01:30:54.060 you are,
01:30:54.820 you are,
01:30:55.300 you are looking for a love
01:30:56.740 of your life.
01:30:57.740 Yeah.
01:30:58.120 Yeah.
01:30:58.460 Yeah.
01:30:59.160 I'm,
01:30:59.520 I'm,
01:30:59.760 I'm 34
01:31:00.360 and ready to,
01:31:02.580 you know,
01:31:02.720 I thought I'd be on my third wife
01:31:03.980 by now.
01:31:04.360 I'm on zero.
01:31:05.120 Yeah.
01:31:05.560 I feel like I need to step up my game.
01:31:07.520 Yeah.
01:31:07.960 Yeah.
01:31:08.160 And this is a serious deal.
01:31:09.540 I mean,
01:31:10.160 don't you think that Andrew
01:31:12.280 is kind of like those guys?
01:31:13.640 Everybody has a friend like this
01:31:14.820 that you're like,
01:31:15.480 he's really nice.
01:31:16.640 He's really nice guy.
01:31:17.920 And,
01:31:18.520 and I don't know why he,
01:31:19.700 I don't know why women
01:31:21.020 are just repelled by him.
01:31:22.200 Yeah.
01:31:23.040 But he can't ever seem to find a date.
01:31:24.940 You know,
01:31:25.200 I hear what you're saying.
01:31:26.240 I think I'm more like Prince Harry.
01:31:29.180 And that I'm just,
01:31:30.280 I'm so unobtainably up there
01:31:33.880 that it scares people.
01:31:36.180 Is that what it is?
01:31:36.920 Right.
01:31:37.260 They're intimidated to,
01:31:38.600 to date or make out with me.
01:31:40.980 Like you hear that from like
01:31:41.840 Victoria's Secret models a lot.
01:31:43.540 Yeah.
01:31:43.740 Exactly.
01:31:44.040 When I was in high school.
01:31:44.780 That might be the problem is I'm not,
01:31:46.180 I should just be dating Victoria's Secret models.
01:31:47.700 Just a second.
01:31:48.240 I'm trying to imagine you
01:31:49.200 in underpants and wings.
01:31:51.300 There you go.
01:31:51.800 Nope.
01:31:52.100 Don't think that's the same problem.
01:31:52.680 You're welcome America.
01:31:53.600 That's the same problem.
01:31:54.420 Just like a meerkat that can fly.
01:31:57.880 Remember,
01:31:58.300 government has led the way here.
01:31:59.480 They pay for love.
01:32:00.600 Have you considered this?
01:32:01.800 Pay for love.
01:32:02.200 You should go to San Francisco
01:32:03.020 get one of those love subsidies.
01:32:04.180 Right.
01:32:04.520 Okay.
01:32:05.260 Thank you very much.
01:32:06.120 Andrew Heaton.
01:32:07.160 There's something off with Andrew Heaton
01:32:09.200 is the name of the podcast.
01:32:10.860 We invite you to listen to it and subscribe.
01:32:12.820 Last night was very funny.
01:32:13.940 Thank you very much.
01:32:14.680 Very funny.
01:32:15.020 All right.
01:32:15.640 Thank you, Andrew.
01:32:16.940 Now, let me tell you about our response
01:32:18.060 to this half hour.
01:32:18.680 It's Simply Safe.
01:32:20.180 Simply Safe Home Security.
01:32:22.540 I've been telling you about this,
01:32:23.660 this company for how long has it been?
01:32:25.520 10 years?
01:32:26.800 I think they had five people working for them
01:32:29.020 when they started with us.
01:32:29.940 Yeah.
01:32:30.620 That was very, very early on.
01:32:32.280 They came and they showed us the technology
01:32:34.020 and it's like, you guys are way ahead
01:32:35.760 of everyone else.
01:32:37.220 They're like, yeah, we think this will catch on.
01:32:39.960 And I'm like, yeah, I think it will.
01:32:42.360 Now, they are huge.
01:32:45.080 They are the industry leader.
01:32:46.380 They've won all kinds of awards.
01:32:47.740 Two million people now have their houses
01:32:50.680 and their businesses being looked after
01:32:53.300 by Simply Safe.
01:32:54.420 We have Simply Safe here.
01:32:56.180 My daughter has it in her house.
01:32:58.060 Pat has it in his house.
01:32:59.400 And right now, they're doing something
01:33:01.260 I've never seen them do.
01:33:02.340 They're giving you 25% off, 25% off the system.
01:33:07.220 And you can find it at simplysafepack.com.
01:33:10.360 Now, the reason why I say I've never seen them
01:33:12.120 do 25% off anything is because when you see
01:33:14.400 the price of the system, especially if you've ever
01:33:17.840 purchased a system, or I'm sorry,
01:33:19.920 leased a system from the other people,
01:33:22.020 you're paying like $40, $50, $60 every single month
01:33:25.740 for like five years.
01:33:28.080 Yeah, forever, as long as you want it on.
01:33:29.580 Yeah, as long as you want it on.
01:33:30.380 It's crazy.
01:33:32.160 So when you see this, I warn you,
01:33:34.100 don't be angry when you see the price
01:33:36.560 of the Simply Safe system.
01:33:38.600 Just think, okay, well, okay, I've learned my lesson,
01:33:41.760 and now I know it doesn't cost that much.
01:33:45.220 Plus, no contracts, $14.99 a month
01:33:47.600 to be able to have the 24-7 monitoring.
01:33:50.460 It's 25% off the system right now.
01:33:53.100 The offer ends this coming Monday, November 26.
01:33:57.760 SimplySafeBeck.com.
01:33:58.980 25% off right now.
01:34:01.320 SimplySafeBeck.com.
01:34:07.160 Now we've got some really disturbing news.
01:34:11.580 If you're somebody who believes in global warming
01:34:14.620 and you know that it is killing the polar bears,
01:34:17.560 because Coca-Cola has told you that,
01:34:20.400 and of course Al Gore and everyone else,
01:34:22.180 and you've seen the polar bear floating on the ice cube.
01:34:25.300 It wasn't even an iceberg anymore.
01:34:26.600 It's an ice cube now.
01:34:28.280 And they're all dying out.
01:34:29.680 With an exception of that being a complete and total lie.
01:34:35.180 Yeah.
01:34:35.820 The population has gone up five times.
01:34:38.460 From 5,000 in the 70s to the mid-2000s,
01:34:41.560 I think it was up to 25,000.
01:34:44.620 Well, now there's a problem with indigenous people.
01:34:49.040 The Inuit natives up in Alaska,
01:34:54.160 they're having a problem because there's too many polar bears.
01:34:58.520 Yeah, they have a draft management plan from the territorial government,
01:35:01.080 and the Inuit believe that there are now so many bears
01:35:05.400 that public safety has become a major concern.
01:35:09.720 Public safety concerns combined with the effects of polar bears on other species
01:35:13.540 suggest that in many communities,
01:35:15.780 the polar bear may have exceeded the coexistence threshold.
01:35:19.460 No one ever asked these people.
01:35:23.540 No one's like, hey, by the way, we really want to save the polar bear.
01:35:25.960 How does that work for you guys, you know, the ones living next to them?
01:35:28.340 And they tend to be ripped apart by them quite often
01:35:31.120 and aren't so friendly with the polar bears.
01:35:33.640 So now, here's the problem.
01:35:35.020 Put yourself in the shoes of a progressive.
01:35:38.260 This is quite a conundrum you've created,
01:35:41.240 and what are you going to do?
01:35:43.400 The polar bears, you have said that they are dying out.
01:35:46.920 Well, they're not dying out.
01:35:48.140 In fact, they're about to eat an entire tribe of indigenous people.
01:35:53.980 Now, are you the white man that is going to impose
01:35:59.020 your view of the polar bears on these indigenous people
01:36:04.980 where they will be eaten by the polar bears?
01:36:09.020 So are you now the oppressor?
01:36:11.800 I'm just asking.
01:36:13.680 I want to know.
01:36:14.780 Polar bears are white, so we all know it's white oppression.
01:36:16.780 That's that we know for sure.
01:36:18.140 But it is.
01:36:18.520 Okay, good.
01:36:18.980 I love this quote, though, as they're talking about this,
01:36:21.240 because everyone's like, well, you know, what about climate change?
01:36:24.000 Don't you care about climate change?
01:36:25.280 And they're saying, look, this is the reality of our situation.
01:36:28.440 They say it's very frustrating for us to watch.
01:36:30.320 We do not have resources to touch bases with movie actors,
01:36:33.380 singers, and songwriters who often narrate and provide these messages.
01:36:37.740 So don't worry about the people.
01:36:38.960 Just keep your PSAs going.
01:36:40.140 Oh, and it's an indigenous people.
01:36:41.720 Don't worry about it.
01:36:42.860 No, seriously.
01:36:49.180 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:36:50.860 Well, there's a new proposal now for something that's going to help all of us be healthier and happier.
01:36:59.700 Stu, are you against people being happy?
01:37:04.400 Morally, yes, but not pragmatically.
01:37:06.700 Are you against people living longer lives, being healthier, living more productively?
01:37:13.140 I mean, I need more specifics, but generally, yes.
01:37:15.520 Are you in favor of higher health care costs?
01:37:18.660 Of course not.
01:37:19.560 Of course not.
01:37:20.340 This is such a compelling proposal.
01:37:23.440 Well, here's the idea.
01:37:26.340 There is an idea.
01:37:28.040 I mean, look, didn't we help the world by putting high taxes on cigarettes?
01:37:34.420 Yeah, the answer is yes.
01:37:35.600 Oh, we did.
01:37:36.240 Didn't we help by having taxes on soda?
01:37:40.480 Absolutely not.
01:37:41.360 The answer is yes.
01:37:41.740 No.
01:37:41.980 The answer is yes.
01:37:42.860 No.
01:37:43.480 There is now a proposed meat tax.
01:37:48.260 A meat tax.
01:37:49.480 A meat tax.
01:37:51.020 And they are looking now at the optimal meat tax rates.
01:37:55.180 Now, this is only on red meat, lamb, beef, and pork, and then processed meat, sausage, bacon, and salami.
01:38:02.980 But the rest of it, you know, no big deal.
01:38:06.680 There won't be any problems with us implementing this at all.
01:38:09.240 No, no, no.
01:38:09.600 Of course.
01:38:10.160 Because sausage is such an easy thing to define.
01:38:13.100 Right.
01:38:13.500 It's so obvious exactly what it is.
01:38:16.220 Correct.
01:38:16.420 So, now, for the U.S., now, this will be a little lower, a little lower in other countries, but the recommended rates were as low as 34% on some meats.
01:38:30.380 34% tax?
01:38:32.060 Yes.
01:38:32.700 34% tax.
01:38:34.000 And as high as a 163% tax on some meats, like steak.
01:38:40.660 163%?
01:38:41.600 Well, yes.
01:38:42.760 So, a $10 steak would now be $26.
01:38:47.780 Because you'd be 163.
01:38:49.280 Could I just, could I just, may I make the point before you get in here with all of your conservative hate mongering that just wants children to die?
01:38:58.460 If we were paying 163% tax on meat, we could, according to the study, we could save 52,000 Americans every year.
01:39:10.860 I mean, how, can you walk me through how you figured that one out?
01:39:15.640 Well, I didn't figure that out.
01:39:17.120 It took the World Health Organization right now to figure this out.
01:39:21.960 Now, they say that eating meat increases the risk of heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes.
01:39:29.480 In some cases, they say it's so bad that you're not only killing yourself, but also you're increasing the cost of health care.
01:39:40.840 And if we're going to have universal health care, well, the government has a responsibility to keep you healthy.
01:39:48.840 And so, instead of, you know, having higher, you know, spending on health care or health care premiums, let's just slap 162% tax on steak.
01:40:01.420 This is not going, A, it would not work.
01:40:04.880 But first of all, and I say this as a vegetarian, most of the supposed facts about how bad eating meat is for you are not really real.
01:40:16.020 I mean, if you go and you look, I'd encourage you to read the Bad Food Bible by Dr. Aaron Carroll, and he goes through all these numbers.
01:40:22.420 And, by the way, pretty much everything that people tell you you can't eat, you basically can.
01:40:28.080 I mean, it's like, I mean, you know, some poisonous berries would fall out of that.
01:40:31.660 There's a couple things.
01:40:32.920 I wouldn't go, the bleach food you were talking about earlier, wouldn't dive into that one.
01:40:36.160 But almost all of these things are on.
01:40:38.080 You wouldn't have a tuna fish and bleach sandwich?
01:40:39.920 No, I would not.
01:40:40.440 No, okay.
01:40:40.920 Almost all of these things that you read on Pinterest are going to be things that there may be one study of a very small amount of mice
01:40:49.620 that were fed 9,000 times the amount of food you'd actually eat.
01:40:54.080 And in there, there was a hint of some problems that was later disproved in another study.
01:40:57.800 Okay, all right.
01:40:58.260 Well, Mr. Extremis, we're here to solve medical costs from going through the roof.
01:41:02.560 Right, and that's why I was addressing that.
01:41:04.980 So, 163% increase on taxes on steak.
01:41:13.280 It's actually 163% increase on the price of steak, but that's it.
01:41:18.520 So, anyway, the other thing that they're looking at now is the 2015-2020 dietary guidelines from the United States
01:41:28.280 recommends also that we eat less fat.
01:41:32.420 And the evidence that they are finding now says that carbohydrates are very dangerous as well.
01:41:39.000 So, just all things that are related to food are dangerous?
01:41:41.700 You're going to have white meat, vegetables, and nuts.
01:41:45.000 Well, nuts have lots of fat in them.
01:41:46.480 And so are some vegetables.
01:41:49.940 Well, sure, you can go there if you're a conspiracy theorist.
01:41:53.300 Let's just say, reading them.
01:41:55.440 But this is where we're going now, and I'm all for it.
01:41:59.460 Why not get on the bandwagon?
01:42:00.720 At some point, you just say, yeah, let's get on the bandwagon.
01:42:03.200 I mean, look, there is an argument, and it's true.
01:42:06.200 This is true, and this is why we are opposed to this normally, in normal ways, like income tax.
01:42:11.400 When you tax something more, you will get less of it.
01:42:14.540 So, if you tax steaks at 163%, you're right.
01:42:18.120 People will eat less steak.
01:42:19.480 They will.
01:42:19.960 Just like when you tax income at high rates, people will not want to be incentivized to work more.
01:42:25.380 You're right.
01:42:26.060 That's all true.
01:42:27.140 And I don't know if that second one is something you want.
01:42:29.180 No, I'm not sure that that second one is the one they even recognize, but as you said, it is true.
01:42:33.580 There's another poll out.
01:42:34.920 51% of Americans say now that they have faith in democracy, and 37% say they have lost faith in democracy.
01:42:43.240 Well, it's 51%, so it's the majority, and it rules.
01:42:45.900 Right.
01:42:46.480 There you go.
01:42:47.200 That's just democracy for you.
01:42:49.040 We're not a democracy.
01:42:50.400 We're a democratic republic.
01:42:51.920 Constitutional.
01:42:52.740 Constitutional democratic republic.
01:42:54.100 But anyway, 37% say they've lost faith in democracy.
01:42:59.320 I would like to turn that around and say, I believe that democracy has lost faith in about probably 70% of Americans.
01:43:09.260 So, you know.
01:43:11.860 It works out pretty well.
01:43:12.900 It works out pretty well.
01:43:13.600 It works out pretty well.
01:43:15.420 Here in Finland, because that's where we're broadcasting from.
01:43:19.160 We do the show every Tuesday from Finland, if you don't know.
01:43:22.340 Crap.
01:43:22.740 It's not Tuesday.
01:43:23.620 It's Wednesday.
01:43:24.100 Oh, gosh.
01:43:24.780 We're off.
01:43:25.140 We should have flown home last night.
01:43:27.580 That's right.
01:43:28.000 But we were checking out the new Finnish brothel.
01:43:31.400 The first one is just opening up its doors now in the capital.
01:43:36.800 Is it the new sponsor of the program?
01:43:38.220 We'll be doing commercials for them soon.
01:43:39.840 Yeah.
01:43:40.560 And here in the capital of Finland, which is...
01:43:43.580 Very good.
01:43:45.720 Very good.
01:43:46.420 Very good.
01:43:46.740 I said that really softly.
01:43:47.720 So, they're opening this up, and it's a new sex doll brothel, which we've all been waiting for.
01:43:54.100 That just does not in any way seem appealing.
01:43:58.260 No, hang on just a second.
01:43:59.100 Have I told you that the synthetic rubber that they're made out of holds heat, so it feels more like a real body?
01:44:05.160 Again, like, there's an issue here.
01:44:09.760 No, they can blink their eyes now.
01:44:11.300 They can blink their eyes now.
01:44:12.340 How's that?
01:44:12.780 Does that help?
01:44:13.720 That does help.
01:44:14.600 I'll say the blinking of the eyes is quite an enticing feature.
01:44:17.660 Yeah.
01:44:18.940 I'm really more concerned of...
01:44:20.500 Blink your eyes if this is good for you.
01:44:24.780 I mean, you're pretty much a hostage taker at this point anyway, aren't you?
01:44:27.900 You really are.
01:44:29.280 You really are.
01:44:30.400 You really are.
01:44:30.580 You don't think AI is fighting back against that when it's all ready to go.
01:44:33.820 Well, you know what?
01:44:34.440 I just talked to an ethicist about this the other day, and I'm like, dude.
01:44:38.880 And he was the first one who said, right?
01:44:41.920 And I'm like, dude, I'm sorry, but the AI sex bots, we are going to be slave owners.
01:44:47.820 They will eventually kill us all.
01:44:50.300 We're sending the worst guys just to go violate them, you know, for their health.
01:44:56.720 Because this is what...
01:44:57.640 Let me read what the Finns are saying.
01:45:01.400 And I shouldn't say this, the Finns.
01:45:03.300 This is actually the brothel owner.
01:45:07.440 So one Fin.
01:45:08.700 One Fin.
01:45:09.400 Well, he's not even a Fin.
01:45:10.600 He's a Russian.
01:45:12.980 Okay.
01:45:13.560 That is in...
01:45:14.220 That's not a surprise.
01:45:14.960 ...construction and shipping and brothels.
01:45:17.800 I mean, I don't know what they're doing to our elections, but whatever they're doing
01:45:20.980 in Finland is worse.
01:45:21.980 Yeah.
01:45:22.720 You know, this is a guy that you just...
01:45:24.500 You don't want to write something that's not necessarily positive about him.
01:45:29.820 But he's the one who said, you know, the silicon flesh is extremely lifelike, and it retains
01:45:34.600 heat to feel more like a human, you know?
01:45:37.440 And then if you leave it in the trunk of your car, it gets cold, too, just like human.
01:45:42.980 I don't know why I would know that.
01:45:45.300 But he insists that this is not to make money.
01:45:51.020 This is not to make money.
01:45:51.940 He's not opening this to make money.
01:45:53.220 Oh, good.
01:45:53.740 He is opening this to help people.
01:45:56.420 What I'm doing here is just helping people.
01:45:58.500 I'm giving people opportunity to fulfill sexual fantasies that you won't have opportunity
01:46:04.800 to carry out in the world.
01:46:06.960 Wow.
01:46:07.560 What a...
01:46:08.160 Trust me, I'm not taking pictures of you doing creepy things with buddies.
01:46:12.780 No, that's not happening.
01:46:14.400 What a philanthropist.
01:46:15.420 He really...
01:46:16.780 No, seriously, he is.
01:46:19.900 He says that he's providing everything you need, including cleaning towels, you know,
01:46:26.720 and the staff will come out after every, you know, hour and entirely disinfect the entire
01:46:37.220 room, I will say that, you know, there are a lot of concerns here on what it would do to
01:46:42.960 humanity, what would happen, as you see in the documentary series, Westworld.
01:46:46.980 Yes.
01:46:47.340 There's a lot of concerns I have here.
01:46:48.800 Yeah.
01:46:49.180 But cleanliness is number one.
01:46:51.240 I will say it's number one on my list.
01:46:53.160 Cleanliness is next to godliness, and I don't know how that works out in a brothel.
01:46:57.840 I don't think it's next to godliness, even in a brothel, but, you know, no matter how
01:47:04.740 clean that brothel is, I just don't think...
01:47:07.080 I just don't think there's ever a...
01:47:09.360 You know, you get in the shower, and you sit in the bottom of the shower, and I can
01:47:13.700 never get clean.
01:47:14.500 Yeah, it's kind of like that.
01:47:15.700 It's kind of like that.
01:47:16.200 There's no clean after that.
01:47:17.860 No.
01:47:18.440 No.
01:47:18.840 And again, this is not a...
01:47:19.960 If you came up with a disposable model, which in this case would actually be a disposable
01:47:25.360 model.
01:47:25.860 No, I don't.
01:47:27.580 I still...
01:47:27.920 If you had a disposable model, at least there'd be...
01:47:30.180 I mean, at least you could...
01:47:32.100 No.
01:47:32.280 At least you could make the argument...
01:47:34.180 No.
01:47:34.200 Mm-mm.
01:47:34.820 No, you really can't.
01:47:35.680 A reusable is not...
01:47:36.260 I mean, because you're really down to...
01:47:39.480 I mean...
01:47:39.960 I mean, look at the way she was blinking at me.
01:47:42.340 I think she digs me.
01:47:43.720 I think...
01:47:44.640 She's waiting for me to come back.
01:47:46.520 I really...
01:47:48.860 Okay.
01:47:50.680 Welcome to the program.
01:47:51.600 Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.
01:47:54.200 It's Casper Mattress.
01:47:56.820 Where you can have a good night's sleep without the Russian looking over you.
01:48:00.800 Make sure it's Dolly okay.
01:48:04.440 Casper Mattress.
01:48:06.480 Most people really struggle to get out of bed.
01:48:09.060 You know, especially...
01:48:10.000 You know, when...
01:48:10.720 You know...
01:48:11.320 You're a heart...
01:48:13.800 You know, you're a big outdoorsman like me.
01:48:16.560 Mm-hmm.
01:48:16.780 You know...
01:48:17.280 Or you're a rock climber or a...
01:48:19.340 Sure.
01:48:19.780 ...you know, former football player like me.
01:48:22.640 Uh-huh.
01:48:23.140 Sometimes...
01:48:23.780 You know, I really babied my body my whole life.
01:48:26.820 What the hell happened?
01:48:28.420 I gave it what it wanted, which was no exercise.
01:48:31.440 I gave it what it wanted.
01:48:32.920 What God demanded.
01:48:34.140 Don't climb the rock face of a mountain.
01:48:37.060 Don't do that.
01:48:37.820 That's bad for you.
01:48:38.840 And you haven't done that.
01:48:39.800 And I haven't done any of those things.
01:48:41.600 Stairs.
01:48:42.380 Or stairs.
01:48:43.640 Mm-hmm.
01:48:43.800 Use the elevator.
01:48:44.840 Mm-hmm.
01:48:45.380 God wanted us to walk upstairs.
01:48:48.160 Why did he allow us to create an elevator?
01:48:51.540 That's a great point.
01:48:52.640 See?
01:48:53.100 Mm-hmm.
01:48:53.700 Somehow or another, it still hurts getting out of bed.
01:48:55.820 I'm shocked.
01:48:56.760 And there's not one sports injury that I've ever had.
01:48:59.800 Not one.
01:49:00.860 Not one.
01:49:01.420 Because men...
01:49:02.680 You know...
01:49:03.400 I mean, my dad was like this.
01:49:04.380 He had a football injury in high school.
01:49:05.780 Yeah.
01:49:05.960 And he dealt with it the rest of his life.
01:49:07.640 Yeah, I don't.
01:49:08.180 I have like...
01:49:09.060 Oh, man.
01:49:09.640 My arm's hurt.
01:49:10.320 I've been turning pages of this book my whole life.
01:49:12.720 And I've got library fingers now.
01:49:16.240 Library finger?
01:49:17.120 Yeah, it's like tennis elbow.
01:49:18.140 Like tennis elbow, but it's library fingers.
01:49:19.840 It's from when you're just turning books.
01:49:21.080 Pages on books.
01:49:21.860 For years.
01:49:22.880 And now...
01:49:23.920 Anyway, Casper Mattress helps me stay warm and cozy and not want to get out from underneath
01:49:30.480 the blanket in the morning.
01:49:32.760 But pretty much everything does that for me.
01:49:34.560 I don't want to get up anymore because it hurts.
01:49:36.240 But Casper, you will sleep the night through comfortably.
01:49:40.320 And you're not going to wake up overheated thanks to the unique combination of the foams
01:49:44.300 that provide the right pressure, relief, and alignment for you.
01:49:47.340 It's Casper.
01:49:48.040 And they will ship right to your front door in a free, small...
01:49:51.900 How'd they put the mattress in that box?
01:49:54.040 And then they'll pick it up if you don't love it.

01:50:25.540 So you might see on CNN and MSNBC and everything else, all these interviews with these people
01:50:32.480 that are now exposing Bill Clinton and the Monica Lewinsky thing, because they're covering
01:50:39.280 it.
01:50:39.680 They're covering it now, just in time, just in time for the election of...
01:50:45.120 Oh, there are no more elections of the Clintons.
01:50:48.100 Well, Chelsea.
01:50:49.000 Chelsea.
01:50:49.540 She's coming.
01:50:50.480 She'll be...
01:50:51.160 On the way.
01:50:51.780 She's on the way.
01:50:52.460 Um, isn't it amazing that they are covering this?
01:50:55.900 I said yesterday, I would really like to interview her, and I know we have contacted Lewinsky's
01:51:03.240 office.
01:51:03.680 I find her fascinating, somebody who has just caught up as a regular human being who made
01:51:08.740 a horrible mistake.
01:51:10.980 By her own admission.
01:51:11.920 Yeah, by her own admission.
01:51:12.780 And now she, you know, she's talking about how horrible it was to watch Bill Clinton go
01:51:17.340 on TV and say, you know, nothing about her, uh, and, and lie about what, what happened.
01:51:26.060 And it, uh, she's, she's now opening up for the first time for this documentary.
01:51:31.120 And, um, it's fascinating.
01:51:33.540 Yeah.
01:51:33.940 I mean, she sent this, I think.
01:51:37.540 Well, I think, well, I mean, I, she definitely went through a really tough time earlier on,
01:51:41.580 which you'd kind of expect.
01:51:42.500 And she disappeared.
01:51:43.360 Remember, she was gone for a long time.
01:51:44.700 I mean, she did some fashion stuff for a while.
01:51:46.380 Everyone's, everything she did, though, would pop up as a news story.
01:51:49.480 Uh, you know, she was designing handbags and hats and like, all of a sudden that would
01:51:52.480 be a news story.
01:51:53.500 And she eventually got to a point, I think, where she realized she's never really going
01:51:56.300 to outrun this.
01:51:56.880 She's never going to change this.
01:51:58.060 So, uh, understand it the best you can and just go ahead and, and do what you think is
01:52:03.200 important.
01:52:03.540 Imagine your life being controlled by something that you did when you were 21.
01:52:09.240 That wasn't illegal.
01:52:10.800 Right.
01:52:11.160 It was a, it was a lack of judgment, certainly, but, uh, not, not illegal.
01:52:14.700 Not a, not a, not a crime.
01:52:16.680 Didn't, you know, I mean, it is a, you can't, and, and she doesn't try to do this.
01:52:22.680 You can't, you can't, there's not no level of responsibility for her.
01:52:26.180 No, no, no.
01:52:26.400 Remember, she was 21 and she was, you know, later on, 22, 23, all throughout that period,
01:52:30.800 uh, and, you know, chose to be in this relationship.
01:52:34.660 He's obviously much more at fault, but, you know, he's, he's the one with the, he's the
01:52:38.620 one that wrecked her life, I think.
01:52:39.940 And, and I, you know, you could definitely say she paid a too high a price probably for
01:52:45.540 this mistake.
01:52:46.180 Um, and it's interesting to hear her talk again about it and, and, and be honest about it.
01:52:50.000 Cause she was talking about, you know, years and years and years.
01:52:52.260 I saw Bill Clinton do interviews where no one would ask him any tough questions about what
01:52:57.140 he did.
01:52:57.840 Uh, and you know, that was something that was a right wing conspiracy theory on talk radio.
01:53:01.960 Monica Lewinsky was thinking the same thing.
01:53:03.440 Well, they were just talking to Isikoff who was at Newsweek, I think at the time and is
01:53:08.020 the guy who had the story, but sat on it and they're, they're, they're talking, they're
01:53:11.420 doing an interview with him.
01:53:12.420 It's like, no, you should talk to Matt Drudge.
01:53:14.900 Matt Drudge is the one who broke that story.
01:53:16.820 Yeah.
01:53:16.960 I mean, I think Isikoff's case is he didn't kill it.
01:53:19.620 The news, the, the magazine did.
01:53:21.660 He didn't, he wanted to go with him, but they wouldn't let him.
01:53:24.360 At least that's his case.
01:53:26.440 All right.
01:53:26.900 More on that tomorrow.
01:53:31.580 Glenn back.
01:53:33.440 Mercury.
