Comedian John Oliver reminds us that people still believe that socialism can work. Does he actually believe that communism can work? Glenn explains why it's not possible, and why socialism is not a socialist system at all. Glenn also points out that there are plenty of socialist countries that look nothing like Venezuela.
00:15:13.240The other reason is they have made kites, put the swastika on it, then put a incendiary bomb or or device underneath the kite.
00:15:27.380They launched the kites on their side of the border over the Israeli side into the into the farmland and the wheat and then tried to get the kite to crash down and set the fields on fire.
00:15:46.220But the thing that the press, you know, failed to mention, you know, beside the trying to light the fields on fire are the Nazi kites themselves.
00:15:57.240And when they did mention it, they wanted to make sure that they gave those people every single opportunity to claim.
00:17:17.080Now, in any other circumstance, if anyone, anyone in America was saying, yeah, well, I'm flying the Nazi kite because Jews freak out about Hitler.
00:17:32.700And I want them to know that I'm going to burn them.
00:18:04.380Would we not say that there is no place in our society and anyone who doesn't outright and clearly condemn people that think like this are part of the problem?
00:18:18.080There would be a witch hunt in America.
00:19:00.000And our media is defending it and and making it legitimate shows that I mean, they're just completely accepting all the casualty numbers from the Palestinian Authority from Hamas.
00:21:13.840When you're in possession of weapons that were able to withstand the occupation in the wars of 2006, 2008, 2012, and 2014.
00:21:23.700When you have weapons that are being wielded by men who were able to prevent the strongest army in the region from entering the Gaza Strip for 51 days and were able to capture and kill soldiers of that army.
00:23:49.920In Arabic, which nobody in the media cares to, you know, listen to what they're saying in Arabic.
00:23:57.700It only matters what they're saying in English.
00:24:00.720Well, don't you think it really would mean something important if they're saying something different to the people of the region in Arabic?
00:24:10.600By the way, this translation comes from memory.
00:24:15.640This is the Middle Eastern group that just monitors what's happening in Arabic and then translates it all to Egypt because it is important what they say, not to us in English through our press, but what they're telling their own people and the entire region.
00:24:57.800But now with the understanding that this is a statement from a senior Hamas official when you're in possession of weapons that were able to withstand the occupation in the wars of 2006, 2008, 2012 and 2014.
00:25:10.420When you have weapons that are being wielded by men who were able to prevent the strongest army in the region from entering the Gaza Strip for 51 days and were able to capture or kill soldiers of that army.
00:28:10.700Well, how many mental hoops do you have to jump through to be able to believe any of the nonsense that is coming out of the UN and coming out of the media?
00:32:30.000They don't they don't see they seem to be about totalitarianism European nations and the United Nations again socialism large groups and people who also just don't seem to like Jews all that much.
00:32:40.900You know, what's weird is these groups seem to have two things in common.
00:33:37.780Last night I got home and my son's allergies were so bad and he was just his eyes were watering and he was talking like this and it was all allergies.
00:33:52.120Companies lose about a quarter of a billion dollars every year due to employees just suffering with allergies.
00:33:58.280How much time have you lost in your own home with your own family due to not changing the air filters?
00:34:05.180When you change the air filter, it does two things.
00:34:10.220One, it helps everybody in the house or in the office breathe better.
00:34:15.360Two, it also saves you a ton of money on your HVAC system because as those filters get more and more clogged, it's harder to push the air through for the HVAC system.
00:34:29.120Small business, big business, homes, if you need a filter for your for your HVAC system, you need to go to filter by dot com.
00:34:40.300The filters are all made right here in America and they're shipped for free within 24 hours.
00:34:45.480And if you're like me and you never remember when the last time it was that you changed your filter, you can set up auto delivery.
00:34:53.220You'll never, ever need a reminder ever again because they'll just show up at your door and you will stop the sneezing in your house and you will reduce the wear and tear on your HVAC system.
00:35:04.820With over 600 sizes available, including custom options, you're going to find the right filter for your business or for your home at filter by dot com.
00:40:38.580And they closed a lot of the airports.
00:40:40.260Okay, so I read this last night, and I went, well, it's about time.
00:40:43.740And I'm thinking, what is it that they finally saw the Palestinian authority and Hamas saying that made them go, okay.
00:40:54.700Maybe the thing that we covered earlier today, which was when they admitted that it was not a peaceful protest and that they were intentionally lying to the media to fool Americans.
00:41:05.780But they weren't fooling Palestinians.
00:41:07.500They were using weapons in an armed conflict.
00:41:45.340For the better part of the past two decades, the establishment wings of both the Republican and Democratic Party have largely been pro-Israel.
00:41:53.840Both parties have at least, in their party platforms, maintained pro-Israel positions, including calls to recognize Jerusalem as the Jewish nation's capital.
00:42:03.740While the Republican Party has become more pro-Israel recently, it's unclear whether the Democratic Party will be able to maintain a pro-Israel tilt.
00:42:11.560Today, the Pew Research Center finds Democrats are less pro-Israel than they have been in decades.
00:42:19.480That drop has occurred in the period of just two years since 2016.
00:42:27.320This year, 27% of Democrats say their sympathies lied with the Israelis over the Palestinians.
00:44:31.060I mean, the only thing that, you know, maybe they don't have in common anymore is going to a university.
00:44:43.620OK, now, with that being said, I don't know how you can honestly have a pro-Palestinian stance, but hey, to each his own.
00:44:58.060If you've done your homework and you know who Hamas is and you know what Hamas is saying to their own people
00:45:06.040and to the world in Arabic, if you know all of those things, I really don't know how you have a pro-Palestinian view on what's happening in Israel today.
00:45:21.360Right. I can understand it from the perspective of Donald Trump was the guy who moved the embassy to Jerusalem.
00:45:30.040Like you're going to be opposed if you're a Democrat, you're going to be opposed because Trump's doing it.
00:45:34.320You know, conservatives generally seem and religious people seem to be defensive of Israel.
00:45:39.100If you're not one of them, you might just take the other side generally.
00:45:42.780And you might see some of the propaganda in the media where you see people like poor people dying at the hands of a military.
00:45:49.440Maybe you don't look into the details that closely.
00:45:51.400You can understand how you might waddle into that area.
00:45:54.640And you might even just say, look, I'm not going to pick a side, but I think the Palestinians just I mean, look, people are people just can't we all just get along and live side by side?
00:46:06.360And I would say yes, if you didn't have politicians winding people up to get them to strap a suicide bomb on or put their baby in harm's way at the front line of the of the, quote, peaceful protest.
00:46:22.180So I remember the elected politicians of this particular area are Hamas.
00:46:47.460The foreword has published a big expose on Jordan Peterson.
00:46:54.300Now, Jordan Peterson is a Canadian professor, not playing politics, not playing politics, just talking about mainly boys and men and and find meaning in your life.
00:47:09.120He's been on this program several times, and he is the most carefully he's the most careful person with words I've ever seen.
00:47:18.040He's he is intentionally a very slow talker at times because he wants to make sure he doesn't say anything on a big platform that is inflammatory.
00:47:27.480OK, he's carefully thought out and reasoned.
00:48:16.080Jordan Peterson is public intellectual adored by neo-Nazis.
00:48:19.920The neo-Nazi website Daily Stormer called Peterson the savior of Western civilization.
00:48:26.440Part of why people on the far right like Peterson is because he's not afraid to talk about the Jews.
00:48:32.420Peterson's followers range range from an avowed neo-Nazi community like the Daily Stormer to frustrated young men looking for a scapegoat, end quote.
00:48:41.560Now, this is what the Weekly Standard wrote.
00:48:46.920By the end of the article, you had the impression that a horde of jackboots marched behind air Peterson's goose steps.
00:48:53.800Wondering the the actual extent of Peterson's support at the Daily Stormer.
00:48:59.700I looked up the word savior and discovered it has three sentence blog posts written by a guy calling himself Joe Jones.
00:49:14.660He was likely being ironic about praising Peterson as the Messiah, because just the month before his ambiguous savior comment, he wrote Jordan Jordan Peterson.
00:50:07.980Jordan Peterson's fans are massive F words with daddy issues.
00:50:13.880So the guy who claimed in a vague three sentence post that he's the Messiah, he's the savior, had written two other articles.
00:50:25.020Saying that he's a gay slur and all of his supporters are gay slurs and rarely on daily stormer is my impression that they use any reference to gay people as a compliment.
00:50:39.540That's not typically something they do there.
00:50:42.380A little more investigation on the site revealed that Joe Jones wasn't the only daily stormer contributor cracking jokes about Peterson being some sort of savior.
00:50:51.100Another guy, Roy Batty wrote listening to members of the Jordan B.
00:50:56.160Peterson cult, you might think he was some sort of Christ figure.
00:51:01.040You see, it's all an acting prop, a cheap stick to make normies think he's deeper and more fatherlike than he really is.
00:51:10.760Some I know someone else named Andrew Anglin added that Peterson wasn't simply an F slur word, but a pretentious smarmy F word and posted the article titled seven hour video on why Jordan Peterson is a piece of crap.
00:52:15.620Feldman also hid from the readers all the notable Jewish individuals from across the political spectrum who have written or spoken positively about Jew about Jordan Peterson and his work.
00:53:07.000New York columnist David Brooks and Barry Weiss.
00:53:09.900It's frankly astonishing that not one editor had the professionalism to insist on gathering some testimony on behalf of the accused from any of these reputable people.
00:53:23.660Evidently, the forward is perfectly acceptable to have journalists ask loaded questions about a man and then stack the deck against him, quoting only his accusers.
00:53:35.220Can we find any Democrats that are listening in this audience?
00:53:40.740Can we find one who will stand against the clear anti-Semitic lies that are happening and the smears on people?
00:53:53.160Can we find anyone in this audience who's a Democrat that will take a stand and say, I'm tired of this?
00:54:15.840All right, it's important to protect your home with home security, but how many home security companies are actually thinking, how can we protect your home and your privacy?
00:54:27.840They obsess over the little details that no other home security company does.
00:54:33.240Example, the SimpliSafe home security has a camera that you can control from your phone, but they want to protect your home and your privacy.
00:54:40.100So they came up with a brilliant idea, a privacy shutter for the camera.
00:54:45.360Now, SimpliSafe wanted you to be able to hear the shutter click so you knew it was closed.
00:54:51.160They wanted to have a light on it so you could easily tell after the and it opened, a light would go on so you'd know it was on.
00:54:59.800And they needed it to work for the entire lifespan of the system.
00:55:03.940So SimpliSafe got to work testing different metals and hinge designs for months and months and months and months.
00:55:09.440The result, an effective home security camera with thin, lightweight aluminum privacy shutter that will work every time that no other security system has.
00:59:56.080Now, of course, this is based on laws signed by both George Bush and Barack Obama.
01:00:01.580So, it's bipartisan, which we're going to give up to $7,500 to every person who buys an electric car.
01:00:08.180Many states also dangle their own mix of goodies for electric car buyers, including rebates as large as $5,000, additional rebates for vehicle chargers, and free use of public charging stations.
01:00:21.100California Governor Jerry Brown decreed 5 million electric vehicles must be on his state's roads by 2025, along with 250,000 charging stations.
01:00:30.660Eight other states are following California's lead.
01:00:32.980One California lawmaker has even introduced legislation to ban all internal combustion vehicles by 2040.
01:00:45.380All this might make sense if electric vehicles, as their supporters claim, were truly likely to reduce air pollution and tackle climate change.
01:01:15.160I use the U.S. Energy Information Administration's most recent long-term forecast for the number of new electrical vehicles through 2050,
01:01:21.280looking at three-click pollutants regulated under the U.S. Clean Air Act, as well as CO2 emissions.
01:01:26.160So that seems pretty right-wing right there, that information source.
01:01:28.720Yeah, it's a gift from the government.
01:01:29.560What I found is that widespread adoption of electric vehicles nationwide will likely increase air pollution compared with new internal combustion vehicles.
01:03:28.420Well, new innovations continue to improve those engines' efficiency and cleanliness.
01:03:32.720As for the electric car, the energy doesn't come from nowhere.
01:03:36.400Not magic elves, not hamster wheels in your wall.
01:03:38.980It's just from the, you have to have an outlet.
01:03:42.360We still generate power mainly by using fossil fuels.
01:03:46.280Natural gas is now our biggest source of electricity, which is cleaner than coal, but is projected to increase.
01:03:51.520Coal, while declining, will remain the second largest source of electricity for some time.
01:03:55.600Third is nuclear power, which, of course, environmentalists don't want either, even though it's emission-free.
01:04:00.320And they also want to stop fracking, which stops natural gas.
01:04:04.320The EIA projects that the nation's electric generating mix will be just 30% renewable by 2030.
01:04:11.380Based on that forecast, if the EIA's projected number of electric vehicles were replaced with new internal combustion vehicles, air pollution would actually decrease.
01:04:20.060From electric vehicles to combustion engines, air pollution would actually decrease.
01:04:26.500And this holds true even if you include the emissions from the oil refineries that manufacture gasoline.
01:04:31.280Now, a lot of these stories in the past, Glenn, we've talked about them, have done an analysis based on the manufacturing of the car,
01:04:37.440because it's a lot more strenuous on the environment to manufacture an electric car than it is a combustion car.
01:04:46.860As for greenhouse gas emissions, electric vehicles, now this is after production, will reduce compared to new internal combustion vehicles.
01:04:55.900But, the net reduction in CO2 emissions between 2018 and 2050 would only be about one half of 1% of total forecast U.S. energy-related carbon emissions.
01:05:08.960With such a small change, we'll have no impact whatsoever on climate and thus no economic benefit.
01:05:14.400So, what if we had these subsidies, who are they benefiting?
01:05:27.780A nationwide survey in 2017 found that 56% of people who claimed the subsidy, the free money from the government, had household incomes of at least $100,000.
01:05:40.58017% had household incomes of at least $200,000, which is almost four times the medium income of the United States.
01:05:47.760It's fair to say, this is Politico I'm reading.
01:05:51.240The only person, the only people I know that have electric cars, like a Tesla, are rich people.
01:05:58.180It's fair to say, subsidies disproportionately benefit the wealthy at the expense of the poor, who cannot afford to buy even subsidized electric vehicles.
01:06:08.400Not only that, the wires and charging stations need to charge all those electric vehicles will be paid for by rate payers, further increasing electric rates.
01:06:16.940And as more wealthy customers install solar panels to charge their electric vehicles, the cost to provide them backup power will fall on those who cannot afford to do so.
01:06:26.740In effect, the wealthy owners of electric vehicles will enjoy the benefits of their clean, silent cars while passing on many of the costs of keeping their vehicles on the road to everyone else, especially the poor.
01:06:47.100But there is no economic or environmental justification for the many billions of dollars in subsidies that America is already paying to speed their adoption.
01:06:54.760Congress should immediately terminate electric vehicle tax credits, which just benefit the wealthy.
01:06:59.420Congress should eliminate zero emission credits, which electric vehicle manufacturers have used to boost their bottom line.
01:07:05.440And we've said millions of positive things about Elon Musk, but he's got to be called out on this, which have increased the bottom line $860 million for Tesla alone in the last three years.
01:13:32.420Students at the embattled Evergreen State College, which made national headlines last year after it hosted an event that asked white people not to come to campus for a day of absence.
01:13:43.580Man, I wish that would have happened when I was going to school.
01:13:50.120Anyway, they've had to organize a new iteration of the event despite the administrator's efforts to shift gears.
01:14:00.480The administration of the school does not want this to happen.
01:14:04.600Students at the Olympia Washington-based public school have organized a three-day Day of Absence observance that includes a mix of events on and off campus.
01:14:15.180Some gatherings are advertised as open to all skin colors.
01:14:19.720Others ask that only people of color attend.
01:14:24.080A poster hung at the school obtained by the college fix, which is where I found this article, declares that the no whites allowed self-segregation events will be held off campus.
01:14:35.500It asks people to RSVP to a website that spells out no Nazis allowed in the URL.
01:14:43.680The events launched today and run through Friday, according to organizers who are not interested in any media coverage for their event.
01:14:52.180The screenshot of their Facebook page makes that very, very clear.
01:14:57.580Do not engage with these people because this is happening no matter what.
01:15:01.020The spokesperson for Evergreen State College did not respond to a phone call and an email on Tuesday seeking comment.
01:15:10.460The theme of this year's observance is deinstitutionalize and decolonize.
01:15:17.940The mission of this event is to bring people of color together in order to create a reclamation of space and move forward into the future.
01:15:28.660In reaction to institutions, consistent disregard for our safety, we are operating independently of the college.
01:15:40.380In addition to POC centered events, there will be an anti-racist workshop for white people and people who do not identify as people of color.
01:15:50.000Please bring a dish or your own packed lunch and dishes, potluck style.
01:15:54.540No one whose intentions are to cause harm are allowed.
01:15:57.900The college's annual Day of Absence Day of Presence program has been observed for years.
01:16:04.680However, last year, following the objections by a white biology professor, Brett Weinstein, he's an amazingly brave man, they confronted him.
01:16:17.400And campus police told Weinstein that they could no longer protect him on campus.
01:16:22.320After that, his class had to meet at a nearby park.
01:16:25.780The situation prompted national headlines and criticism.
01:16:33.960Earlier this year, officials announced that they would revamp the controversial Day of Absence observance, instead offering an equity symposium.
01:16:43.060As for his part, Weinstein has weighed in in this year's Day of Absence.
01:16:57.700Last week, the Olympian reported that Evergreen State, quote, will look to cut more than 10% of its operating budget for 2018-19 and raise student fees because of declining enrollment.
01:17:28.080You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.
01:17:30.020We've had Michael Malice on a few times.
01:17:36.100He's the author of Dear Reader, the Unauthorized Autobiography of Kim Jong-il.
01:17:41.360He's a podcast host of You're Welcome and really a fascinating guy on all things North Korea.
01:17:48.520We wanted to have him on today just to give us an idea of what he thinks is going on with North Korea and the latest of, well, I'm going to pull out of these talks.
01:18:00.180Welcome to the program, Michael Malice.
01:18:04.480So, Michael, what is your take on the news of the day?
01:18:08.680Well, my take is it's just shocking to me how the media often gets played by North Korea.
01:18:15.060You remember a few weeks ago, everyone's ready to hand out the Nobel Peace Prize to Trump or the South Korean President Moon, and I said, wait a minute.
01:18:23.400This is like Hillary right before the election when she tweeted out, happy birthday to this future president.
01:18:38.700They're very, very bright, and they're very, very conniving.
01:18:41.240So if before a meeting, if, you know, me and you, Glenn, were having some negotiation, you want to sell me your car, and before we even sat down, you're like, I'll give you this.
01:18:49.580I'll give you free air conditioning for this, this, and that.
01:18:52.240Right away, you know, I'd be suspicious.
01:19:05.060Even if they were willing to give up all these things, why wouldn't they do that at the close of the meeting rather than up front?
01:19:11.800And we see here exactly what they're doing, which was a very successful effort to humiliate us on the world stage, even if it's just a short-term thing to flex their muscles, so to speak.
01:19:22.780Did they lure us essentially into being too eager to solve this problem?
01:20:14.280So if they were really upset about these things, they could have very easily, behind closed doors, said, look, you know, we're having second thoughts.
01:20:21.340We need these changes before the meeting.
01:20:23.700You know, you guys can make any excuses you want publicly, but this is something we need before we get to the table.
01:21:52.740Michael, I'm interested to, because we've talked about the sort of tough approach of Trump and the administration.
01:21:59.000And how that's been effective, maybe, in communicating to them.
01:22:03.920And I've seen that, because from our perspective, that's what's happened, right?
01:22:07.040Like, we've talked tough, we've held them to account, and they've actually come to the table.
01:22:10.480From their perspective, could you argue, hey, we, because they were doing these tests when we were talking tough.
01:22:18.740Now we're reaching out, and they've accepted us and are allowing the president from this world, you know, supposed world leader, come to our territory and beg us to make peace.
01:22:31.120Yeah, so, I mean, we have to keep in mind, last November or December, remember those days, we were so much younger then?
01:22:39.800They sentenced President Trump to death.
01:22:42.280So, you know, they are, and they were going to nuke Guam.
01:22:46.840These people have no problem just saying outrageous things.
01:22:49.580And the fact that President Trump responded in kind has clearly forced a change in their behavior.
01:22:56.080I see a lot of Twitter people are so desperate to attack the president.
01:22:59.600It's like, look, you know, under Obama, nothing really changed in North Korea.
01:23:04.200And I just want to make one more point.
01:23:05.880I was very, very saddened that after these three hostages were released, which is a great day for all Americans.
01:23:11.460I mean, it was just a wonderful thing.
01:23:14.660Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, none of them mentioned it in their Twitter.
01:23:21.600I checked that afternoon, and I couldn't even wrap my head around it.
01:23:24.940They could very easily take a dig at Trump or just say, hey, you know what, co-opt it.
01:23:30.040Meet with the hostages and make it your thing.
01:23:32.780So the fact that this is being made into a partisan issue is really disturbing to me.
01:23:39.400Yeah, because, I mean, even if nothing comes to these talks, the three hostages, that's a big deal.
01:23:43.400So one of the best explanations on what's really happening that I have heard, it was from Bill O'Reilly.
01:23:51.620And I said, because I was a believer in, and I still kind of am, that it is Donald Trump speaking the language that a dictator understands.
01:24:01.760Dictator understands strength and being shoved back against the wall.
01:24:07.720And that's the guy with a twitchy eye.
01:24:10.020And they've never seen an American president do that.
01:24:12.660And they didn't know how to handle it.
01:24:14.160And they thought, OK, all right, maybe this guy is different.
01:24:20.320But Bill said that he felt that the tweets and the positioning had very little to do with it.
01:24:26.080Instead, he said it was Trump's trade war with China and then going to China and saying, I'm going to do these things unless you get the short little guy under control and you take care of it.
01:24:40.720And it was it was after the meeting with China, he believes, where they called him on the carpet and said, look, knock it off.
01:24:50.740Do you believe do you believe that's true?
01:24:54.620I said from the beginning of the Trump administration, when he met with the Chinese president at Mar-a-Lago, they're doing a good cop, bad cop.
01:25:02.980Trump, which is Trump is the foaming at the mouth, crazy person.
01:25:31.720There's clearly several factors that are forcing him to alter their behavior in such extreme ways.
01:25:37.020I mean, again, this is the first North Korean leader to ever go to South Korea to have his sister go to the Olympics and engage with the outside world contradicts decades of North Korean ideology.
01:25:48.000Is North Korea looking for us to come over there and accept them and welcome them as a nuclear power, as we have with Pakistan?
01:26:02.000Or are they expecting us to demand that they remove all those weapons and give us all of their technology or dismantle all of that technology?
01:26:12.660Which are they really – what are they going to do, do you think?
01:26:17.960They made a very shrewd point last night into this morning, which is if you are going to insist on unilateral denuclearization, that's not fair, whatever term they used.
01:26:32.540And in a certain sense, there is a validity to it.
01:26:35.260That said, North Korea was on the state's sponsorship of terrorism list for blowing up a South Korean jet.
01:26:43.260They sell their military technology worldwide.
01:26:45.840So it's not even like Pakistan because there's a possibility of nuclear proliferation through their technology, and that's why it's a concern.
01:26:52.040So they are going to demand – and why wouldn't they demand the world?
01:27:00.660At the same time, I don't think President Trump or most people in the administration would have any problem getting up and walking away from the summit.
01:27:09.860I don't think he needs – I mean the classic example, which everyone in the right uses fairly, is Reagan at Reykjavik, where they had these negotiations with Gorbachev.
01:27:20.700You know, they're agreeing to everything, and at the very end, Gorbachev very shrewdly says, well, you know, this all depends on you giving up SDI, Star Wars.
01:27:29.300And Reagan blew his top and walked, and as a consequence of that, he ended up taking the steps that led to the end of the Cold War.
01:27:36.660So I know there's a lot of people in the administration who are very familiar with that scenario.
01:27:42.000And here's the other point that I think this is Trump's greatest strength.
01:27:45.060If you're working with New York and international real estate for decades, you know all the negotiating shenanigans and dealing with the bad actors.
01:28:52.540The June meeting of the Fed is coming up June 12th and 13th.
01:28:57.400Economists overwhelmingly predict that the Fed's going to raise rates.
01:29:00.280If you have found a home and you're interested in financing, and if you're interested in taking advantage of today's competitive low rates,
01:46:41.020We've then repatriated all of these dollars.
01:46:43.480And they've been sitting here in a slow economy as those dollars pick up velocity and meaning as they are spent more and more and people buy more stuff and they hire more people.
01:49:13.940And Stu was trying to explain to me he had a hard time understanding that because we just happen to be in the universe that, quote, makes sense.
