The Glenn Beck Program - 'Have a Fabulous Life'

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

00:00:10.340 Love. Courage. Truth. Glenn Beck.

00:00:16.660 Okay, I think I just goodwill hunted the math equation on the MIT chalkboard.

00:00:22.540 I think I have it cracked here. It goes like this.

00:00:24.780 H-C-P plus N-Y-A-G equals either T-P or M-S. I'm not sure.

00:00:36.380 So, you know, H-C-P stands for Hardcore Progressive plus N-Y-A-G, New York Attorney General.

00:00:45.340 So, I was thinking because of the crappy leftist policies, maybe toilet paper, total pervert.

00:00:55.940 But because he's such a leftist progressive, and I kind of equate that to a disease, I thought M-S would be good.

00:01:03.480 Not for the disease, but for misogynistic sadist.

00:01:08.900 I'm not sure if there is some sort of a New York Attorney General secret oath that they have to take, you know, that we're not aware of.

00:01:18.020 Do they publicly swear in front of the cameras and then slip back and head down to a basement,

00:01:23.320 taking some sort of a secret candlelit blood pack to treat women as sex objects?

00:01:28.720 I mean, first it was Elliot Spitzer, and now Eric Schneiderman.

00:01:32.560 Schneiderman, he's the latest member of the New York Attorney General Perv PAC.

00:01:39.220 Didn't we have McGreevy also?

00:01:40.860 That was New Jersey, though.

00:01:42.180 So, it was just across the river.

00:01:45.220 Schneiderman was accused of sexual assault yesterday by four women,

00:01:48.480 and it took three hours for him to offer his resignation.

00:01:54.500 Three hours.

00:01:56.640 How does this make sense?

00:01:58.120 I mean, Schneiderman is the noted and celebrated Me Too activist and champion of modern-day feminism.

00:02:09.160 Look, he even said this, and I quote,

00:02:12.120 A year before Roe vs. Wade, I graduated from high school.

00:02:15.920 I went to Washington, D.C., and I got a job working in an abortion clinic.

00:02:20.300 I learned an important lesson at a young age.

00:02:22.920 If a woman doesn't have the right to control her own body, she is not truly equal.

00:02:27.920 She is not truly free.

00:02:32.360 You see, he's implying that being pro-life is equivalent into making women slaves.

00:02:40.040 So, I mean, that guy's woke.

00:02:43.760 Well, I mean, it doesn't exactly jive with the language he's allegedly using in private.

00:02:48.960 But one of the four really credible accusers said Schneiderman would beat her until she would call him master.

00:02:57.960 Oh, and he also dated a woman from Sri Lanka, and he would call her his little brown slave.

00:03:08.600 So, he's so woke.

00:03:10.820 He's so progressive.

00:03:12.000 This is just the tip of the iceberg in a list of accusations that include serious assault charges.

00:03:19.560 Hmm.

00:03:20.560 That doesn't sound too progressive.

00:03:23.100 Is bigotry and misogyny now part of the left's midterm strategy?

00:03:27.760 I'm not really sure.

00:03:29.720 For years, Eric Schneiderman has been the gatekeeper for the progressive left.

00:03:34.000 He's been one of the main actors pushing progressive policy, actually trying to move the party away from traditional Democrats into really hardcore leftism.

00:03:47.540 He's, you know, he doesn't like the center.

00:03:50.420 He doesn't like the center.

00:03:51.260 He likes to play dangerously on the edge.

00:03:55.580 Why do I have a feeling this isn't the last progressive scumbag to be exposed to their in their hypocrisy?

00:04:01.120 Here's a guy who just won awards.

00:04:03.920 I think he was, I don't know, named Women of the Year there last year, the year before.

00:04:10.620 I mean, there are so many people on both sides that really fight hard, but they don't believe.

00:04:17.520 They don't believe all their identity politics.

00:04:20.340 They're sanctimonious and holier than thou narratives.

00:04:23.640 They don't.

00:04:24.600 They just weaponize a narrative.

00:04:27.920 It's a means to an end.

00:04:29.640 And thankfully, his end came yesterday.

00:04:41.420 It's Tuesday, May 8th.

00:04:43.440 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:04:46.220 Did you read the story from The New Yorker?

00:04:48.940 A good chunk of it.

00:04:50.160 It's a long, detailed story.

00:04:54.220 It is worth the entire read.

00:04:57.420 What was longer?

00:04:58.800 Does it the amount of time you need to actually read the story or the amount of time from when it came out to when he resigned?

00:05:04.200 It's pretty.

00:05:04.960 They're pretty close.

00:05:05.680 Pretty close.

00:05:06.260 Yeah.

00:05:06.480 Pretty, pretty darn close.

00:05:08.320 This is unbelievable.

00:05:12.220 Last month, this guy, you know, congratulated Time magazine for their joint Pulitzer Prize for covering sexual harassment.

00:05:21.000 The brave men and women who spoke up about the sexual harassment they'd endured in the hands of powerful men.

00:05:26.920 Without these women, there would be not the critical national reckoning that's underway.

00:05:35.260 Trouble.

00:05:35.820 You know, the problem was here is he said things like that.

00:05:40.340 And that made old girlfriends go, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't take it anymore.

00:05:46.300 I can't sit back.

00:05:47.480 I can't take it anymore.

00:05:49.040 I can't sit back and take it anymore.

00:05:51.080 So four women came out.

00:05:53.480 All of them went on record.

00:05:56.920 Another one came out, but she didn't want to go on the record because she didn't want her name involved.

00:06:03.040 All of them said they repeat that he repeatedly hit them often after drinking and doing drugs, mainly in bed, never with their consent.

00:06:14.880 And they said it was assault and boy, it, it seems like it, but they have doctors verifying that they had to go to the hospital afterwards or go to the doctor.

00:06:25.760 One woman, it was slapped so hard across the ear in her face that her ear was bleeding, had to go to a doctor for it.

00:06:33.820 Her ear wasn't the same for months.

00:06:36.040 She was also choked, you know, because, well, you know, because that's so exciting.

00:06:41.400 Uh, she was fully clothed, uh, just standing in the bedroom and he said, you're my little whore.

00:06:46.160 And then he slapped her across the face.

00:06:48.780 And then when she tried to push back, he took his arm and put it over her neck and forced himself on her, uh, and, uh, almost choked her to death, which was, you know, which was nice.

00:07:00.740 And then, oh, and then he also said he was going to kill her, uh, if she told anybody or if, uh, she left him.

00:07:07.240 Um, uh, he said in a statement yesterday, in the privacy of intimate relationships, I've engaged in role-playing and other consensual sexual activity.

00:07:20.120 No, no, not according to all the people that you were engaging in sexual activity with.

00:07:25.660 It's one, um, almost vital part of consent is the other party consenting.

00:07:31.720 Yeah, no, well, he explains that later, according to one of the girlfriends, um, he said, um, in fact, it wasn't the girlfriend.

00:07:40.020 It was the only one that actually stood up.

00:07:44.380 Uh, she went on a, she, she met him at a party and then his security guard, he said, you want to go to another party?

00:07:51.860 And she said, sure.

00:07:53.200 And his security guard drove to, uh, his house and there was no party there.

00:08:00.340 It was just him.

00:08:01.800 And, um, uh, they, um, they started making out, as she said, he started making out and then he slapped her.

00:08:12.280 And then he, you know, said, you know, you're, you're a little whore, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

00:08:19.020 And you're a dirty little slut.

00:08:20.980 You want to be my, uh, my whore.

00:08:23.140 She said, suddenly, at least in my mind's eye, he drew back.

00:08:27.080 And there was a moment when I was like, what is happening?

00:08:30.320 She said, then he slapped me across the face hard twice open-handed.

00:08:35.900 I was stunned.

00:08:37.200 Uh, she said the, the blow was so hard that it left a red handprint.

00:08:42.440 She screamed, what did you just do?

00:08:44.840 She started to cry.

00:08:46.420 I couldn't believe it.

00:08:47.300 She recalled for a split second.

00:08:49.280 I was scared.

00:08:50.520 She knows that on her years of dating, she has never been in a situation like the one with Schneiderman.

00:08:55.280 He just hit me.

00:08:57.620 Uh, when she told him that she wanted to leave, she recalls, he started to freak out saying, I'd misjudged you.

00:09:03.980 I, I, you'd be really surprised.

00:09:05.960 A lot of women really like this.

00:09:08.200 They don't always think they like it, but they do.

00:09:12.260 And then they'll ask for more.

00:09:16.780 Just a wonderful little love story.

00:09:18.940 Seems like, you know, what's amazing is these women were all, they're all very prominent.

00:09:28.420 They're all very progressive.

00:09:30.240 They all are Harvard educated, Princeton, Yale.

00:09:34.940 These are not dummies.

00:09:36.500 They're all very, very successful.

00:09:38.800 And yet, except for this one, they stayed with him.

00:09:43.780 Yeah.

00:09:44.240 For sometimes multiple years.

00:09:46.040 Yeah.

00:09:46.560 Stayed with him.

00:09:47.420 Which is, uh, it's so strange.

00:09:49.420 It's, but it's also pretty typical for abuse.

00:09:52.200 Abuse.

00:09:52.420 I mean, one of them was down to 108 pounds.

00:09:55.460 She had lost 30 pounds because he kept calling her fatty.

00:09:59.320 And so they, he would, he would humiliate them.

00:10:03.220 He would, um, uh, mock them, uh, tear them down all the time.

00:10:09.740 I mean, it was, you have to read this.

00:10:12.260 This is, this is absolutely incredible.

00:10:15.820 Uh, Schneiderman was violent.

00:10:17.960 He also made often made sexual demands.

00:10:20.140 He was obsessed with having a threesome.

00:10:21.900 He said, I have nothing to look forward to if you don't arrange this.

00:10:25.820 And he would hit me until I agree.

00:10:27.960 Sometimes he'd tell me to call him master and he'd slap me until I did.

00:10:31.920 Um, she is, she was born in Sri Lanka has dark skin.

00:10:35.800 And she said, he started calling me his Brown slave and demand that I tell him that I was

00:10:41.160 his property.

00:10:42.480 Um, he was then cutting off my ability to, uh, breathe.

00:10:46.840 We rarely had sex without him beating me.

00:10:49.760 He's a sexual sadist.

00:10:51.780 And yet for some reason,

00:10:54.520 well, it's abuse.

00:10:59.700 It's horrible.

00:11:00.840 He told her to get plastic surgery to remove scars, uh, on her torso that resulted from

00:11:05.960 an operation.

00:11:06.980 He criticized her hair, said she should get breast implants, buy different clothes.

00:11:11.680 He mocked her friends as ditzes.

00:11:14.260 Uh, when the women attended a birthday celebration for her, he demanded that she leave just as

00:11:19.080 the cake was arriving.

00:11:20.040 She said, I began to feel like I was in hell.

00:11:24.060 Then his emotional state seemed to worsen after the 2016 presidential election.

00:11:28.640 He had counted on forging an ambitious partnership with White House led by Hillary Clinton.

00:11:33.460 Instead, the presidency had gone to Donald Trump.

00:11:36.560 Schneiderman's office had sued Trump for, uh, Trump university for civil fraud and Trump

00:11:41.740 had countered suits, uh, Schneiderman personally.

00:11:44.460 Uh, on the morning of January 19th, the day before Trump's inauguration, Schneiderman called, uh, from a hospital emergency room to his girlfriend and said he had been drinking the night before and fell down.

00:11:58.020 He didn't realize he had cut himself, got up and, uh, went to bed.

00:12:01.020 But when he woke up, he was in a pool of blood and it hadn't stopped bleeding yet.

00:12:06.100 She said, I, I understand how incomprehensible may be that, that I stayed in an abusive relationship for more than a year, but I now see how independent women get stuck in one.

00:12:17.720 Uh, the physical abuse happens quickly.

00:12:20.080 He's drunk, you're naked, you're at your most vulnerable, it's disoriented, you lose a little bit of who you are.

00:12:26.360 She kept telling herself that she could help him change.

00:12:29.280 She tried to get him to see a therapist and at times she blamed herself for his behavior.

00:12:33.880 I was scared what he might do if I left him.

00:12:36.680 He said he would kill me if we broke up.

00:12:39.000 Now here's the, you, you just have to read the whole thing because it is really, truly amazing.

00:12:44.000 Um, but he was, he's accused of prescription drugs, you know, they would go fill their prescription for, uh, you know, Xanax or whatever.

00:12:54.700 And he would take half of it.

00:12:56.680 He's denied all of this by the way, but it seems pretty buttoned up.

00:13:01.400 Um, it's Ronan Farrow, by the way, uh, who did all, you know, so much of the other recent reporting on this topic.

00:13:07.740 Um, she said, um, that they started to, these women started to contact each other.

00:13:13.540 I wish somebody had warned me.

00:13:15.280 I wondered who's next.

00:13:16.520 I was not planning to come forward until I found out there was another woman.

00:13:19.260 The silence of the women before me meant that I suffered too.

00:13:21.900 I felt I would not be able to live with myself if I heard him doing this to another woman years or months from now.

00:13:28.580 So they sat together.

00:13:30.320 They decided they were going to go out, but listen to this.

00:13:34.840 A number of them were advised by their girlfriends to keep the story to themselves.

00:13:42.640 Arguing that Schneiderman was too valuable of a politician for the Democrats to lose.

00:13:50.780 They described the response as heartbreaking.

00:13:54.180 When Schneiderman heard that she had turned against him, she said he warned her that politics was a tough and personal business and she better be careful.

00:14:04.380 She took that as a threat.

00:14:06.180 But, so, what really has changed?

00:14:12.820 Yeah.

00:14:13.400 I mean, one of the, to me, one of the most powerful and disgusting moments in Chappaquiddick, the movie.

00:14:19.180 Yes.

00:14:19.460 Is when, you know, after, obviously, Mary Jo Kopechny is lost, she, they come back and they kind of tell the rest of the house, the party house, these are her friends.

00:14:31.100 Hey, you know, look, something happened.

00:14:33.120 Here's what happened.

00:14:34.320 And one of her friends says, how do we protect the senator?

00:14:40.600 That's her reaction to her friend dying.

00:14:42.180 How do we protect the senator?

00:14:44.240 The senator killed your friend.

00:14:47.060 At least it's very highly responsible for her death.

00:14:50.760 And in that particular case, they didn't necessarily know that.

00:14:55.480 They didn't know that on that day, at that time.

00:14:58.200 This one, their friends have evidence.

00:15:03.080 They all have pictures of the abuse.

00:15:05.480 They all have evidence of it.

00:15:07.580 They go to their friends and say, you know, I've been talking to his other girlfriends.

00:15:11.340 He's beating women.

00:15:13.940 He's beating women.

00:15:15.740 And your friend says politics, more important, you, you're in two abusive relationships.

00:15:23.100 You're in an abusive relationship with him and, quite honestly, an abusive relationship with your friends.

00:15:35.380 By the way, for those keeping track at home, two of the last three New York governors have had to resign or abandon re-election due to scandal.

00:15:42.720 The New York State Comptroller's immediate predecessor went to jail.

00:15:45.720 And now Schneiderman, that means three of the of New York's last five independently elected state constitutional officers have resigned in disgrace.

00:15:55.380 But other than that, it's going well.

00:15:57.700 Progressivism works.

00:15:58.840 It works.

00:16:00.160 All right.

00:16:01.680 Let me talk to you a little bit about filter by.

00:16:04.600 If you have bad allergies or anybody that you work with or that, you know, you live with has bad allergies.

00:16:12.480 When was the last time you as an employer or you as a homeowner changed the air filter in your home?

00:16:19.780 U.S. companies lose $250 million a year just from employees that suffer with allergies, $250 million a year.

00:16:28.980 Now, the changing of the air filter can make a world of difference in the workplace for those who have allergies.

00:16:34.340 But also, it will save you a ton of money because if you don't change your air filter, they get all clogged up and it makes the HVAC system just really hard and it helps them burn out fast.

00:17:37.800 Glenn Beck, Mercury.

00:17:51.240 Glenn Beck.

00:17:52.340 We're just talking about the primaries that are happening today.

00:17:56.120 West Virginia, Indiana.

00:17:57.620 There's a third one in there, Stu.

00:17:59.380 There's a bunch.

00:18:00.080 There's a bunch.

00:18:00.740 I mean, the big ones that really count.

00:18:02.720 But the primary, for instance, in West Virginia, I mean, I don't know.

00:18:08.660 You want the establishment guy, or do you want a crazy guy?

00:18:12.160 And there's three of them.

00:18:14.380 Yeah.

00:18:14.720 There's three choices.

00:18:16.440 Blankenship is the guy you're talking about with the China people, lad.

00:18:19.500 The famed China people approach to electoral politics.

00:18:23.740 Sarah, get that ready here so we can play that in a second.

00:18:26.640 Okay.

00:18:26.900 You have it?

00:18:27.360 Go ahead.

00:18:27.640 Hi, I'm Don Blankenship, candidate for U.S. Senate, and I approve this message.

00:18:31.840 Swamp Captain Mitch McConnell has created millions of jobs for China people.

00:18:35.820 While doing so, Mitch has gotten rich.

00:18:38.300 In fact, his China family has given him tens of millions of dollars.

00:18:42.040 Mitch's swamp people are now running false negative ads against me.

00:18:45.580 They are also childishly calling me despicable and mentally ill.

00:18:49.000 The war to drain the swamp and create jobs for West Virginia people has begun.

00:18:53.000 I will beat Joe Manchin and ditch Cocaine Mitch for the sake of the kids.

00:18:57.780 I love this.

00:18:58.640 First of all, he would not beat Joe Manchin.

00:19:01.960 I mean, I think you're looking at another Alabama if you go with this guy.

00:19:05.800 That's what both Donald Trump and Donald Trump Jr. both believe.

00:19:09.060 Yeah.

00:19:09.360 They both come out and said that.

00:19:11.420 This guy is frightening.

00:19:14.040 China people.

00:19:15.540 And they're spreading lies about me in their campaign.

00:19:18.460 And also, also, they call me insane.

00:19:23.220 Okay.

00:19:23.820 Well, okay.

00:19:25.160 You're not denying that.

00:19:26.420 There's a separation there.

00:19:27.380 That's not part of the false charges.

00:19:29.920 There's false ads.

00:19:31.220 And in addition to that, they are saying things like, I'm mentally unstable.

00:19:38.100 Now, by the way, for some reason, he wouldn't come on the show today.

00:19:40.920 Oh, did he say no?

00:19:42.160 I know he asked.

00:19:43.360 I didn't hear.

00:19:44.240 Yeah.

00:19:45.060 Yeah.

00:19:45.700 I'm pretty sure he said no, Stu.

00:19:47.120 Oh, that's unfortunate.

00:19:48.680 It would have been nice to talk to him.

00:19:49.980 Yeah.

00:19:50.340 I mean, these races are impossible to dissect.

00:19:53.760 We're going to have Frank Luntz coming up here in a couple of minutes to kind of tell

00:19:56.380 us what's the state of this.

00:19:57.560 What do the polls look like going into these races today?

00:20:00.420 But I mean, like, you look at the, you know, Indiana, for example.

00:20:04.960 Three people going back and forth.

00:20:06.960 I looked at the profiles of these guys.

00:20:08.980 I would have absolutely no idea to choose.

00:20:10.560 And if you're in Indiana today, good luck out there.

00:20:13.940 I hope you've done your homework better.

00:20:15.700 But we don't know.

00:20:17.580 I don't know who you should choose.

00:20:20.380 All right.

00:20:21.160 Back in a minute with poll numbers and what it means.

00:20:25.960 Glenn Beck.

00:20:27.900 Mercury.

00:20:28.260 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:20:42.500 You know, I'm not sure if labels labels mean anything or actually they maybe they have

00:20:47.160 more power than ever.

00:20:48.360 If you are a, you know, you're somebody, you know, who is who's part of the establishment.

00:20:54.540 I don't want that guy.

00:20:56.780 Well, you're you're you were a tea party guy, but you have kind of rocked the boat.

00:21:03.160 And I don't know.

00:21:03.980 What does that mean?

00:21:04.740 Does that mean you got better?

00:21:06.040 Yeah.

00:21:06.540 Worse.

00:21:07.120 What does that mean?

00:21:08.260 And there's crazy people now running on on all sides.

00:21:13.720 And, you know, New York is putting away yet another progressive politician today.

00:21:20.300 So we just have the best of humanity running.

00:21:23.200 Um, and we're looking for signs of of hope, looking for things that we can count on.

00:21:31.520 What does it mean if Blankenship wins in West Virginia?

00:21:36.820 And what are the odds of that?

00:21:40.120 We have Frank Luntz, founder and chairman of the Luntz Global about the primary elections

00:21:45.840 today, Frank, which which are the ones that you think are the most important to watch today?

00:21:51.440 Well, yeah, I've and I don't know if today is the most important, but I'm watching what

00:21:57.360 happens in Ohio for the same reason that you've got people from what you would call

00:22:03.980 the establishment, former elected officials who are coming back in, particularly the the

00:22:08.700 former senator from the state who wants to be the governor in West Virginia.

00:22:13.460 I am going to watch to see if Republicans nominate a convicted felon.

00:22:19.360 Uh, has that happened before?

00:22:21.600 Do you know, Frank, it must've, I mean, and it, you know, there's a place I don't want

00:22:26.320 my normal inclination would be to tell a West Virginia joke.

00:22:30.000 This is how much I've changed.

00:22:32.100 I'm going to let that one pass.

00:22:35.220 Congratulations, Frank.

00:22:36.260 That's amazing.

00:22:37.000 So what would you know?

00:22:38.400 That's how much I've changed.

00:22:39.580 But you know that that voters on the Republican side are still so fed up with the establishment,

00:22:47.880 with that label and the the idea of people who've been around for so long that they haven't

00:22:52.880 brought about the change they promised that they will vote for the most change oriented,

00:22:58.180 the most extreme candidate.

00:22:59.680 There are people who will vote for someone because they were convicted of a crime.

00:23:05.480 Because it's their way of saying to heck with all of you, I'm not going to do what you

00:23:12.020 want me to do.

00:23:12.820 And the problem with that is that you feel really good when you vote.

00:23:17.760 But in the end, what do you actually get done?

00:23:20.920 I'm watching now, and I got good numbers for your listeners.

00:23:25.900 This is the first time you've had me on when I actually have good news.

00:23:29.140 Donald Trump's favorability is up, that his job approval is now at 44%, which is the best

00:23:38.340 it's been at any time in the last 12 months, that he is actually approaching a majority who

00:23:45.000 like what he's doing, even though his favorability is only at 40%.

00:23:48.520 And there's a message there that sometimes how you do things is as important as what you

00:23:53.820 do, and that people still look at what he says and what he does with concern while they

00:24:01.060 like what he's doing.

00:24:02.900 So is it possible, a couple of things.

00:24:04.440 First of all, do you see the poll that came out yesterday about the right track, wrong track?

00:24:09.980 Trump is now experiencing numbers that at no time did Obama experience on right track, wrong

00:24:17.620 track?

00:24:18.820 There's, I feel it.

00:24:20.080 I feel it in my focus groups.

00:24:21.580 I feel it in the research that I'm doing, that there is a shift that's coming, and it's

00:24:26.900 because of the economy, that people really do feel better off.

00:24:30.560 They really do think next year will be better than this year.

00:24:32.860 They're beginning to feel the tax cuts, and they see that a lot of the promises are being

00:24:38.600 kept.

00:24:39.520 And I always do this.

00:24:41.160 So I can't make everyone fully happy.

00:24:44.620 He would be close to 60% job approval if he wasn't constantly insulting the people he

00:24:52.740 doesn't like.

00:24:53.920 And it is very entertaining, and it is very funny.

00:24:57.240 Every time he uses the word Pocahontas, I laugh.

00:25:01.260 There is a painting in the capital of Pocahontas, and I go up to it, and I say, everybody, that's

00:25:06.120 Senator Elizabeth Warren, right?

00:25:09.240 Half the people laugh, and half the people want to throw me out of the capital.

00:25:13.240 That said, that's not really what we should be about.

00:25:17.220 So is there a possibility, are you feeling this at all, that we're starting to kind of

00:25:23.960 get used to him a little bit more?

00:25:25.940 For instance, some things are paying off.

00:25:28.180 I would be much more concerned about what he was going to do this week with Iran if I

00:25:34.400 hadn't seen him do some of these things before that seem crazy and dangerous, but he's just

00:25:42.680 pulling them off.

00:25:44.540 He brought Korea to the table.

00:25:47.160 He got China to back down.

00:25:50.120 He is getting Western Europe to come to his point of view rather than the other way around.

00:25:55.260 Right.

00:25:55.380 Things are happening.

00:25:58.400 They're considering reforming food stamps on Capitol Hill and adding a work requirement

00:26:05.020 to that and to welfare, which is what Americans want.

00:26:07.900 They've been waiting for it.

00:26:08.880 We had it, and then Barack Obama removed it.

00:26:11.940 And that's going to be a vote later this week.

00:26:13.620 There's a rescission package, which means that they're going to cut more waste for Washington

00:26:17.880 spending.

00:26:19.000 These are the things that he ran on.

00:26:20.780 These are the promises that he gave to people who live paycheck to paycheck, struggling to

00:26:26.760 get by.

00:26:27.420 Right.

00:26:28.160 So they see a difference.

00:26:30.420 Frank, let me go back to West Virginia and Blankenship.

00:26:33.120 Is there, do you feel in any of the polling that you've done, are people, because I'm torn.

00:26:40.380 If I didn't care about the country, I would vote for Blankenship because I would think, you know what?

00:26:47.380 It's all worthless anyway.

00:26:49.240 I think it'd be funny.

00:26:50.560 Put that guy in because it's a show.

00:26:53.600 Is there anything to say about that?

00:26:56.180 Or are people really, are they embracing the China people, or are they just embracing somebody

00:27:05.660 who will go in and break the system?

00:27:08.260 Those people who are voting for him believe the system is broken.

00:27:12.540 And so breaking it is just the next step.

00:27:16.720 They see themselves as participating, in essence, almost in a revolution.

00:27:21.880 And there was a time in your career when you may have argued for that.

00:27:30.780 I think you know that I give you credit for creating the Tea Party.

00:27:34.440 I really do.

00:27:35.960 Because you spoke to people's anger, their frustration, their fear for the country and where it was headed.

00:27:43.740 And you gave voice that did not exist.

00:27:46.420 But there was a constructive outcome to that.

00:27:49.660 A change in the house.

00:27:50.800 Eventually a change in the Senate and a change in the presidency.

00:27:54.680 This, I know him a little bit.

00:27:58.140 And I don't care what he says.

00:28:00.160 I know what he did.

00:28:01.840 And I have a problem with it.

00:28:04.020 Blankenship.

00:28:05.160 Yes.

00:28:05.620 And I think if the public really understood it, they'd have a problem with it too.

00:28:09.520 But now, and this is a deeper point, do we trust our justice system?

00:28:14.140 Do we trust the FBI?

00:28:15.700 Do we trust the CIA?

00:28:16.980 No.

00:28:17.180 We now have lost faith in those institutions, in the legal institutions that are meant to keep the country running.

00:28:25.200 So, we don't trust Congress.

00:28:27.860 We don't trust the media.

00:28:29.960 We don't trust our legal system.

00:28:32.600 Where do we go from here?

00:28:33.800 I don't know.

00:28:34.360 Frank, I'm looking at the polling for the West Virginia race.

00:28:38.080 Really, the only piece of evidence that we have that Blankenship has a chance at this race is an internal poll that was leaked from one of his rivals.

00:28:46.500 And normally, you leak polls showing you're doing really well.

00:28:49.420 But perhaps, was this leaked because they wanted Donald Trump to jump into this and say that Blankenship was a bad guy?

00:28:59.100 Do you have any thoughts on that?

00:29:00.920 It's possible.

00:29:02.180 At this point, I don't believe primary polls because the turnouts are so low.

00:29:06.660 And this is one of the reasons why Trump's numbers were always underestimated in the primaries and underestimated on Election Day.

00:29:14.380 That there may be people who are voting for him that won't acknowledge it because of his background.

00:29:19.260 It's really dangerous.

00:29:21.620 Let us at least say this.

00:29:23.940 He has become a credible candidate, and it is possible that he will win.

00:29:28.200 I don't think he does, but it's still possible.

00:29:30.740 Any chance of him beating Joe Manchin?

00:29:33.800 He will not beat Joe Manchin.

00:29:34.960 West Virginia hates Barack Obama.

00:29:39.400 West Virginia hates Hillary Clinton.

00:29:42.020 But they're willing to give Joe Manchin a pass.

00:29:45.060 They know him as governor.

00:29:46.280 They've known him as senator.

00:29:47.260 It will take a great Republican upset to beat Manchin.

00:29:54.020 I think, actually, North Dakota is much more likely to flip.

00:29:56.780 Indiana is more likely to flip.

00:29:58.580 If he didn't have an insane situation in the Missouri governor's race, that seat is more likely to flip.

00:30:04.960 What we're not, and I, someone who believes that Democrats could win the Senate, but I can also make a case now, six weeks after I made that prediction, that Republicans could pick up two seats in the Senate.

00:30:16.340 Wow.

00:30:16.680 I don't think West Virginia is one of them.

00:30:18.520 All right.

00:30:18.760 Is there anything that we should be watching for as the results come in that you say it's a warning sign or a positive sign for the future?

00:30:27.420 I don't think that today is significant enough.

00:30:29.520 I don't, I just, in looking at states that are up this week and next week, these are not the weeks where I'm waiting up till two in the morning to get exit polls to see why people voted the way they did.

00:30:41.320 To me, the biggest, the biggest, most significant polling data is the fact that Trump's job approval is starting to approach 50%.

00:30:51.220 Frank, one last question.

00:30:52.760 You do this all over the world.

00:30:54.600 Are we different than the rest of the world when you're talking to people?

00:30:59.540 Is this the general feeling that you're getting from people all over the world, or we better, worse, or about the same?

00:31:05.740 We used to be the most optimistic.

00:31:07.180 When I was at Oxford for three years, America was the most optimistic country, and it drove the Europeans and the Asians nuts.

00:31:13.880 Crazy, yeah.

00:31:14.420 Now, we're the most pessimistic, and they can't understand why.

00:31:19.180 Wow, amazing.

00:31:20.460 Frank Lutz, thank you so much.

00:31:21.800 Talk to you again, my friend.

00:31:23.240 You got it.

00:31:29.400 So, you want, I mean, you really want to know how despicable people can become.

00:31:35.300 More than one million children are victims of identity fraud in 2017.

00:31:40.900 Now, this, according to a new report, the most common perpetrator was a family friend, somebody who knows the family.

00:31:49.060 With limited to no financial history, children are the most likely to become victims of new account fraud because nobody picks it up until they go and try to get a, you know, a loan.

00:32:00.080 And then, man, when they try to go out and buy their first car or they get, you know, their first loan for school or whatever, their credit history is destroyed.

00:32:09.880 There are so many threats in today's connected world that one leak is all it takes for the floodwaters to start rolling in.

00:33:02.960 Glenn Beck Mercury.

00:33:10.160 There is an amazing story that I read about a week ago and I wanted to see if we could get the guy on and he's going to be joining us in a few minutes.

00:33:34.640 It's incredible.

00:33:36.940 He was little in Germany growing up and he and his mother and his father were taken to Auschwitz.

00:33:48.140 His mother was separated and she was sent to the gas chambers and his father was approached by a guard afterwards and said,

00:34:00.660 your wife wanted me to give this to you.

00:34:02.360 He opened it up and it was the last letter of his wife before she was gassed.

00:34:10.740 I mean, who was the guard that delivered this?

00:34:14.060 She went to the guard and said, please find my husband.

00:34:17.220 Here's where he is.

00:34:18.600 Give this to him.

00:34:19.860 And when you read it, it is the most stunning letter you've ever heard.

00:34:25.360 The little boy never wanted to see the letter.

00:34:35.020 He was afraid of the letter at first when he was little.

00:34:38.140 His father had told him that your mom had written a letter.

00:34:40.700 He didn't want to hear it.

00:34:42.360 Eleven years old.

00:34:43.540 He's not interested.

00:34:45.780 All throughout his life, it's brought up again.

00:34:48.060 His father says, you know, you could read the letter and he says, no, no, no.

00:34:51.800 His father dies.

00:34:53.700 He's going through his father's stuff.

00:34:56.220 And in a book, I think, tucked inside is this piece of paper and it's all yellow and he knew exactly what it was.

00:35:04.860 Set it aside.

00:35:06.340 Had the courage to read it.

00:35:09.640 And it's powerful.

00:35:11.940 It's unbelievably optimistic, hopeful, beautiful, especially when you know where it was written.

00:35:19.300 But even if it was written on a beach somewhere, it is beautiful.

00:35:23.040 So we're going to have him come on and tell us the story of his mother and this letter.

00:35:28.400 And I'll share the letter with you coming up in just a little while.

00:35:31.100 Stand by for that.

00:35:33.780 Did you see the story here out of South Lake, Texas, which is just a suburb right here by our studios?

00:35:40.620 A Southlake, the Southlake couple was charged with arranging for a five-year-old West African girl to work in their home for more than 16 years without any pay or education.

00:35:56.760 What?

00:35:57.860 Yes.

00:35:59.120 Mohamed Tour and his wife, Denise, both 57, appeared in federal court in Fort Worth yesterday and were charged with forced labor.

00:36:08.440 If convicted, they'll face a maximum of 20 years in federal prison.

00:36:14.660 Apparently, the girl escaped the home with the help of some neighbors.

00:36:19.980 She was raised in the house from five, but she was a slave.

00:36:26.220 So here is a trafficked slave still from Africa coming to the United States.

00:36:37.580 By the way, the couple, I think they're African-Americans.

00:36:48.540 Hello?

00:36:49.060 Yeah, I mean, just like they talk about how the stuff with Schneiderman, for example, that came out today, the sexual assault, not necessarily about sex, right?

00:36:57.620 It's about power.

00:36:58.740 It's the same thing with slavery.

00:36:59.860 Slavery is not about race necessarily.

00:37:01.880 I mean, we've seen, you know, you've seen stories about this.

00:37:03.980 You talked about one last week.

00:37:05.080 One of the first, was it the first slave in America?

00:37:07.140 The first slave in America.

00:37:08.220 Was actually owned by an African-American.

00:37:10.540 Yeah.

00:37:11.380 And here we go again.

00:37:12.500 That is the story that I thought of when I read this last night.

00:37:15.500 I thought it's just a flaw in human nature.

00:37:20.880 It's not the guns that are killing people.

00:37:23.980 It's not, you know, that this race is racist and this race is not.

00:37:29.460 It's a human condition.

00:37:31.800 These are human conditions and we are missing the heart.

00:37:36.640 That's what has to change for the world to change.

00:37:41.700 Glenn Beck.

00:37:43.700 Mercury.

00:37:45.500 Love.

00:37:54.460 Courage.

00:37:56.160 Truth.

00:37:57.920 Glenn Beck.

00:37:59.220 Now, don't let socialists tell you that real socialism has never been tried because it's just not true.

00:38:03.980 Over the weekend in July, over the course of four whole days, the Marxist doctrine will finally be tried at the four-star Hyatt Regency McCormick Park in Chicago.

00:38:15.500 For the Socialism 2018 National Conference, get your tickets right now.

00:38:23.020 $50 for a student rate.

00:38:24.840 You have to bring your student ID.

00:38:26.220 $85 for the early bird rate and the solidarity rate will run you $150.

00:38:33.440 By the way, for $250, you can have the finest, most luxurious proletariat treatment imaginable with a sustainer plan.

00:38:43.100 You know, sustainer like how the Soviets sustained crops during periods of collectivization, which was really sustaining.

00:38:53.320 The conference kicks off Thursday, July 5th, you know, the day after Independence Day with a speech from third wave feminist, Demet, Demet, Demet, Demet Frazier.

00:39:05.880 I love her and all that she does.

00:39:08.760 The speech is titled, Decolonizing Socialism, Getting Radically Organized So We Can Be Free.

00:39:16.400 Now, here's a taste of what the guests in the audience can expect.

00:39:20.080 Through the lens of black radical feminist perspective and using historic, cultural, and material examples, the presenter offers cautionary tales of brilliant failures and questionable successes of progressive and radical organizations dedicated to a vision of radical economic equality.

00:39:40.020 We'll look at how the failure to address the full impact of white supremacist hegemony has had in its and continues to have an effect on the efforts at radical and progressive coalition relationship building that is necessary for fundamental substantial substantive subs for big change.

00:40:02.420 That sounds great.

00:40:04.220 Amy Goodman's going to be there.

00:40:05.400 She's a host of Democracy Now!, and a so-called journalist, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and professor.

00:40:14.160 He's got to be great, or she, who am I to judge?

00:40:17.260 And Boots Riley, the rapper and director.

00:40:20.940 Do you have all of Boots' work?

00:40:23.480 I do.

00:40:24.600 I am missing one of his works, but all the rest of the works I have.

00:40:28.940 Whichever one you were to ask me about would probably be the one I didn't have, unfortunately.

00:40:32.340 So hotel rooms are going to cost you about $355.

00:40:36.300 I'm sorry, I'm using, why would I use dollars?

00:40:38.840 The socialist conference.

00:40:40.540 24,814,502 Venezuelan boulevards.

00:40:46.660 Oh, that's not bad.

00:40:48.580 Yeah.

00:40:49.000 Yeah.

00:40:49.440 And seeing that you only in Venezuela now make 2 million boulevards a year.

00:40:55.700 A month, right?

00:40:56.880 It's 2.5 per month.

00:40:58.340 Is it a month?

00:40:58.920 Yeah, at least those are the numbers.

00:41:00.480 Oh, yeah, that's right.

00:41:01.280 That's right.

00:41:01.540 2.5 million a month because bread is 3.5 million.

00:41:06.140 It's going to be a little more than a month's salary.

00:41:08.240 Yes.

00:41:08.580 It's going to be a little bit more.

00:41:09.580 All right.

00:41:09.900 Well, the communist comrades can just relax in luxury at one of the three restaurants,

00:41:16.400 a hotel bar, and a to-go cafe.

00:41:18.920 Of course, comrades can have their food delivered via Instacart.

00:41:22.520 And there's a Trader Joe's right around the corner for vegetarians and vegans

00:41:26.200 and those who are lactose intolerant because, hey, socialists are people, too.

00:41:31.080 But don't stray too far.

00:41:32.280 You know, the neighborhood around the luxurious hotel is a bit dodgy.

00:41:36.100 But no problems because, you know, comrades, stay in your room.

00:41:39.620 Enjoy the complimentary Wi-Fi, the functional plumbing, the air conditioning, the flat screen

00:41:44.700 television, the proper bedding, the gorgeous views of the sunset over the city.

00:41:49.460 You know, all the things that those who are trapped in countries like Venezuela or Cuba

00:41:55.100 can't enjoy, but you can.

00:41:59.440 And Karl Marx would be so proud.

00:42:07.020 It's Tuesday, May 8th.

00:42:09.060 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:42:11.820 Why?

00:42:12.500 Why?

00:42:12.820 I mean, you know, it's one thing if you're like, hey, Venezuela is this great experiment

00:42:16.820 for socialism.

00:42:17.780 It is the socialism of the 21st century.

00:42:20.900 Okay.

00:42:21.680 All right.

00:42:22.540 Well, now you see the results.

00:42:24.240 Where are you?

00:42:26.260 Why are you not going?

00:42:27.360 Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

00:42:28.860 What went wrong there?

00:42:30.080 How did we go wrong?

00:42:31.940 What did we miss?

00:42:33.820 They just move on as people are starving to death.

00:42:38.280 Anyway, we talk about something happy.

00:42:41.000 Well, this is a hard turn, but it is actually happy.

00:42:46.520 I read a story about a woman who died in the Holocaust at Auschwitz.

00:42:50.780 I know.

00:42:51.140 I know.

00:42:51.500 It trusts me.

00:42:52.040 It gets really happy and positive.

00:42:54.980 And it's a story of a mother, a son, and a father that are taken to Auschwitz out of the ghettos.

00:43:04.100 And mom, she's on her way to the shower room, and she writes a letter to her husband and son

00:43:12.460 and gives it to a guard.

00:43:16.360 And the guard actually, for some unknown reason, delivers it to the father.

00:43:22.000 It goes unread for decades by the son.

00:43:26.260 Now, it is out, and you can see it in a museum, in the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C.

00:43:37.840 And it is a must-read.

00:43:40.300 It is one of the most inspiring things I've ever read.

00:43:44.660 And it would have been inspiring if it would have been written at sunset on a honeymoon,

00:43:49.900 not on your way to the gas chamber.

00:43:52.820 It is beautiful.

00:43:54.320 The son is Frank, Frank Grunwald, and he's on with us now.

00:44:04.220 Hi, Frank.

00:44:04.760 How are you?

00:44:05.900 Good morning.

00:44:06.700 Good.

00:44:07.400 Good to hear your voice.

00:44:08.220 What an absolutely amazing story.

00:44:12.240 You live in Indianapolis now, right?

00:44:15.860 Yes, that's correct.

00:44:17.480 And how old were you when you and your mother and father were taken to Auschwitz?

00:44:25.800 I was about 11.

00:44:29.780 So you have pretty good memories of it.

00:44:32.560 Oh, excellent.

00:44:34.080 Yes.

00:44:34.500 So can you tell me, before we get into the verbiage of the letter,

00:44:41.020 tell me who your mom was, who your dad was, and what this experience was like?

00:44:49.660 Well, she was, you know, I knew her, of course, really well,

00:44:55.260 because she and I had a really good close relationship, both she and my brother.

00:45:01.420 And I had a very tight relationship, and she was just a very elegant, emotionally and intellectually,

00:45:10.060 just a very elegant person that was full of positive attitudes, positive respect for everyone,

00:45:21.700 and absolutely refused to be considered a victim in any way.

00:45:26.580 So no matter what happened to her or to us, we were always told to keep our chins up and to be proud of who we are

00:45:38.400 and never feel like we are being victimized by anyone.

00:45:41.660 So you remember getting off of the train in Auschwitz?

00:45:45.580 I remember clearly, oh, that's as clear as it would have happened yesterday.

00:45:53.840 We got off the train after a two-day ride without any food,

00:46:00.580 and we got off the train in the middle of the night in Auschwitz.

00:46:04.220 We were immediately taken on trucks into the camp, into the main camp,

00:46:13.840 and we were put into what was called a Czech family camp,

00:46:20.120 because we were from Czechoslovakia originally.

00:46:23.280 And the Czech family camp was a total hoax.

00:46:26.500 It was put together by the SS or by the Nazis as a ploy to show the International Red Cross

00:46:37.480 in case they were going to come through to inspect Auschwitz.

00:46:42.360 It was totally put together as an artificial ploy to show the Red Cross that Jews are doing well,

00:46:50.020 they are fine, they are alive, and they are being kept together as families,

00:46:55.120 as grandparents, parents, and children.

00:46:58.380 And it was 10,000 of us, 10,000, 5,000 roughly, that came in September of 1943,

00:47:05.960 and another 5,000 that came in December of 1943, and that was us.

00:47:12.180 We were part of the December transport, middle of December.

00:47:15.580 How were you selected for that?

00:47:20.000 I mean, that's a...

00:47:20.680 The Internet, this was total luck, Glenn.

00:47:23.940 This was absolutely...

00:47:25.780 You're talking about life being sometimes full of luck.

00:47:29.020 Well, my life was filled with three or four such lucky incidents.

00:47:37.160 The International Red Cross apparently threatened the Germans

00:47:42.080 that they were going to come through and inspect some of these camps.

00:47:45.580 And as soon as they did that, the idea, the SS had this idea

00:47:52.020 that they'll put together an artificial camp

00:47:54.400 and show them at least 10,000 people that are alive and doing well.

00:48:00.040 So we were lucky because we were the only two transports

00:48:04.680 to September 1943 transport from Theresienstadt, which was the ghetto,

00:48:10.520 and the December 1943 transport also from Theresienstadt.

00:48:14.480 We got a total of roughly 10,000 people, grandparents, parents, children,

00:48:20.300 that were put into this artificial joke of a camp.

00:48:24.960 And I mean joke in a way that, not in a negative way.

00:48:29.320 I mean it was just a pretense.

00:48:31.860 And because we were put there, because I was part of it,

00:48:37.060 I somehow survived, the first 5,000, almost all of them were gassed

00:48:43.580 in the following March or April of 1944 when the SS found out

00:48:51.540 that the International Red Cross was not coming into Auschwitz.

00:48:55.720 So the first transport of almost 5,000 that came in September,

00:49:01.940 they were gassed in the March-April period of 1944.

00:49:06.620 And then our turn came up in July of 1944,

00:49:11.240 and we had to go through what was called a selection.

00:49:15.500 And a selection typically was a selection of whether you were going to end up on death row

00:49:21.440 and end up in the gas chamber or if you were going to survive.

00:49:25.840 And at that point, this was now spring of 19, summer of 1944,

00:49:31.460 at this point the SS became more selective in terms of who survives and who doesn't

00:49:38.440 in regards to using people for labor purposes.

00:49:42.760 So Germany was bombed severely by this time,

00:49:47.540 and they needed workers both in factories and in rebuilding Germany.

00:49:53.860 And they were trying to save some of the healthy people

00:49:57.140 basically for the purposes of slave labor.

00:50:01.400 So when I went through the selection and my brother went through the selection,

00:50:08.000 we were both put on death row.

00:50:09.980 We were both on the left side of the big table where Dr. Mengele

00:50:14.040 and a couple of the other SS people were choosing the children

00:50:19.920 that were going to live and that were going to die.

00:50:22.840 And we were, and at this point I did not know that I was in death row,

00:50:26.080 but I was put on the left side of the table.

00:50:28.580 And so was my brother who was limping at that point.

00:50:31.460 He had a slight deformity, and I believe it was his left leg

00:50:37.040 that was just a hair shorter than his right one.

00:50:39.980 And he was limping, and as soon as Mengele saw him that he was limping,

00:50:43.960 he put him on the left side of the table.

00:50:46.260 And as soon as he saw me, who was at this point less than 12 years old,

00:50:51.140 he put me also on the left side of the table.

00:50:54.020 So I'm standing there with about 50 or 60 other children,

00:50:57.780 and I noticed an older group of children, boys mostly,

00:51:04.060 on the right side of the table, about 50 yards to the right of the table.

00:51:08.980 And these were a little bit older boys, 14 and 15-year-olds.

00:51:13.040 And suddenly from out of nowhere comes a prisoner,

00:51:18.700 a fairly high-level German prisoner, not a Jewish prisoner,

00:51:22.040 but a German prisoner, whom I worked for as a runner, as an assistant.

00:51:28.340 I was running messages for him, and I knew him well, and he knew me very well.

00:51:33.840 And so he came out from this crowd of prisoners and grabbed me

00:51:38.140 and quickly moved me into the older group of boys and rapidly disappeared.

00:51:44.900 And this whole situation took about 15 seconds.

00:51:48.120 And at this point, I realized that I suddenly ended up on the proper side of the table,

00:51:55.260 that I came from death row, and that Willie Brockman, who was the prisoner,

00:52:00.620 just moved me into the group of older boys that were going to survive.

00:52:05.160 How did you deal with that, with looking at your brother on the other side of the table?

00:52:10.680 I was in shock, and I knew immediately that my brother was in deep trouble.

00:52:15.640 I mean, I knew that right away, that when this whole scenario came up,

00:52:22.420 and I realized what was happening, I knew that he was in very serious trouble.

00:52:26.940 Did you?

00:52:27.300 At that point, about 15 minutes later, I said goodbye to my mother.

00:52:32.300 She said goodbye to me.

00:52:34.240 And we spoke for about two or three minutes.

00:52:41.940 And she was convinced that I was going to survive,

00:52:44.740 and she reminded me of my uncle, who at that time was living in New York City.

00:52:50.000 And she said, make sure that you see Uncle Frank, who lives in New York City.

00:52:56.480 And she decided at this point, I also said goodbye to my brother.

00:53:01.240 And she decided at this point, which I didn't know that she decided this,

00:53:05.780 she didn't tell me, but she remained with my brother.

00:53:08.420 She did not want to let him go into the gas chamber by himself.

00:53:12.480 So she basically volunteered to stay with him.

00:53:15.380 And she stayed with him, and she was gassed four days later on July 11, 1944.

00:53:21.960 Okay, I need to take a break, Frank, and then we come back.

00:53:24.680 Your mother, when she left you and before the gas chamber,

00:53:27.900 she wrote a letter and handed it to a guard.

00:53:31.160 For some reason, he got that letter to your father.

00:53:33.980 You spent a lifetime not reading it.

00:53:37.360 But when you did, I can't imagine what your reaction was,

00:53:41.240 because my reaction was unbelievable.

00:53:43.900 It is such a powerfully positive letter.

00:53:47.640 Everyone needs to hear it.

00:53:49.960 Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

00:55:34.580 Glenn Beck.

00:55:35.580 It's quite fascinating to be able to reach out

00:55:42.800 and touch people who actually witnessed history,

00:55:45.700 which is one of my new goals,

00:55:49.100 is to find people that have seen things firsthand

00:55:54.320 and can tell us about them firsthand.

00:55:57.080 And we have Frank Grunwald on with us.

00:56:02.360 He is a Holocaust survivor.

00:56:05.040 He was 11 at the time he was in Auschwitz.

00:56:07.920 Wanted to talk to him today also,

00:56:09.800 because it's Mother's Day week,

00:56:11.600 and his mother was a remarkable woman,

00:56:15.080 woman, and while she didn't survive Auschwitz,

00:56:20.360 her words certainly did,

00:56:22.060 and we're going to get to those here in just a second.

00:56:25.200 Frank, I've only got a couple of minutes here,

00:56:27.640 so I don't want to get into the letter yet,

00:56:29.080 but let me ask you this.

00:56:30.520 When you were there at the camp,

00:56:35.540 did everyone know that the gas chambers existed?

00:56:39.880 Did you know what was happening?

00:56:42.600 Yes.

00:56:43.000 Yes, it was general knowledge

00:56:46.380 that this was an extermination camp.

00:56:49.500 Did you know that?

00:56:50.860 Go ahead.

00:56:51.700 Yeah, even the 11-year-olds and 12-year-olds knew it.

00:56:55.820 And when you were on the train,

00:56:59.220 did you know where you were going,

00:57:01.040 and did you know that was death?

00:57:02.180 No, we had no clue.

00:57:03.360 No, we had absolutely no clue.

00:57:05.620 Only a day or two after we arrived,

00:57:08.360 we were told by the prisoners that were already there

00:57:11.780 that this was Auschwitz.

00:57:13.980 And it was a terrible, terrible,

00:57:16.780 terribly threatening place.

00:57:18.920 It was full of smoke,

00:57:20.660 full of human ash in the air,

00:57:23.420 full of smell,

00:57:25.400 gray,

00:57:26.740 and very threatening in every possible way.

00:57:29.080 Now, you not only had to...

00:57:32.460 You escaped the death chamber.

00:57:36.160 You were freed by the Americans.

00:57:39.460 Correct.

00:57:39.680 When we come back,

00:57:41.100 I want to read the letter from your mother

00:57:43.940 and tell us how you came to read it yourself

00:57:47.960 much later in life.

00:57:49.420 And then your escape

00:57:51.780 from the communists in Czechoslovakia

00:57:55.480 and how you got here.

00:57:57.780 A blessed life indeed

00:58:00.480 and a remarkable mother

00:58:03.760 and her letter to her son and husband

00:58:06.780 when we come back.

00:58:33.740 He's now known as Frank.

00:58:35.500 Frank Grunwald.

00:58:38.260 And his mom was Vilma.

00:58:42.000 His dad was a doctor,

00:58:44.620 Kurt Grunwald.

00:58:46.620 And they found themselves in,

00:58:50.140 of all places, Auschwitz

00:58:51.860 as he's 11 years old.

00:58:53.580 Along with his brother,

00:58:54.960 who was handicapped

00:58:56.180 and was separated from the family.

00:58:59.240 His mother was then...

00:59:01.440 She chose to go to the death chamber

00:59:05.020 with Frank's brother,

00:59:08.340 her son,

00:59:08.960 and help him through that.

00:59:13.540 But Frank,

00:59:14.520 before she goes into the death chamber,

00:59:19.440 she writes a note.

00:59:21.960 Can you tell me about this?

00:59:24.960 Yes, she wrote this

00:59:26.480 very short letter

00:59:29.020 in pencil

00:59:31.300 to my dad.

00:59:33.340 and she gave it

00:59:35.060 just hours

00:59:36.920 or minutes

00:59:37.840 before

00:59:38.360 going into the gas chamber.

00:59:41.120 She gave it to a guard,

00:59:42.500 not to an SS man,

00:59:44.960 but to a military guard.

00:59:47.700 And she was a good

00:59:48.560 judge

00:59:49.640 of character

00:59:51.460 and she probably figured

00:59:52.760 this person

00:59:54.160 has got some compassion

00:59:55.340 and is going to deliver

00:59:56.720 the letter.

00:59:57.300 And he did.

00:59:58.440 He delivered the letter,

00:59:59.900 I don't know,

01:00:00.520 to my father

01:00:01.220 who was in a medical camp.

01:00:03.740 He was transferred

01:00:04.760 because he was a physician

01:00:05.880 to this medical camp.

01:00:07.220 How do you...

01:00:08.080 She gave it to him.

01:00:08.700 How do you...

01:00:09.700 Have you really thought

01:00:12.840 about who that man was

01:00:14.800 and how he lived with...

01:00:17.660 I mean,

01:00:17.860 he obviously had compassion,

01:00:19.660 but he was there

01:00:20.700 knowing what was happening.

01:00:23.760 Oh, yeah.

01:00:24.260 He was there

01:00:24.760 knowing what was happening.

01:00:26.100 He was a...

01:00:26.640 He was a passive observer,

01:00:29.640 obviously.

01:00:31.600 Probably an elderly,

01:00:33.320 I'm judge,

01:00:33.940 I'm just guessing,

01:00:35.440 probably in his 50s

01:00:36.820 or even early 60s,

01:00:39.300 too old to be sent

01:00:41.420 as a military fighter

01:00:44.580 on the Eastern Front

01:00:46.620 or the Western Front.

01:00:47.820 So they made him

01:00:48.980 into a concentration camp guard.

01:00:52.280 And I think my mother

01:00:53.780 could tell

01:00:55.320 that this guy

01:00:56.600 was not brainwashed.

01:00:58.140 He was too old

01:00:59.400 when Hitler came to power

01:01:01.340 to be...

01:01:01.980 He was not a 12-year-old kid

01:01:03.760 or a 9-year-old kid

01:01:04.840 that could have been brainwashed.

01:01:07.260 So she gave it to him

01:01:08.720 and she was right.

01:01:10.240 Her judgment

01:01:10.840 was absolutely perfect.

01:01:12.460 And he gave it to...

01:01:13.480 He gave the note

01:01:14.180 to my father.

01:01:15.820 So did you...

01:01:16.640 Were you told by your dad

01:01:17.960 when he got the letter

01:01:19.180 or did he expose you

01:01:21.740 to this knowledge

01:01:22.700 after you got out of Auschwitz?

01:01:24.680 After the war.

01:01:26.460 When I was reunited

01:01:27.600 with my dad

01:01:28.620 after the war,

01:01:29.700 after the American army

01:01:31.640 liberated me

01:01:33.260 in May of 1945,

01:01:36.020 I met with my dad

01:01:38.380 about four weeks later

01:01:39.620 in Austria.

01:01:41.200 He picked me up by car.

01:01:43.260 He found out where I was

01:01:44.440 and picked me up.

01:01:46.100 And then about a week or two,

01:01:48.420 shortly after that,

01:01:50.000 he told me that

01:01:50.720 he has a note

01:01:51.520 from my mother.

01:01:54.380 I never saw the note

01:01:55.760 until my father died

01:01:57.560 in 1967.

01:01:58.880 And you chose...

01:01:59.880 You chose not to read it, right?

01:02:02.760 I chose not to read it.

01:02:04.340 I was...

01:02:04.940 I was too afraid

01:02:07.000 that I was going to be too sad.

01:02:09.800 And I was still vulnerable

01:02:11.960 at this point.

01:02:13.320 And I really did not want to see it.

01:02:15.940 And then after he died

01:02:17.180 in 1967,

01:02:18.440 I found it in the desk

01:02:20.640 of his drawer,

01:02:21.500 one of his drawers,

01:02:23.060 in his bedroom.

01:02:24.420 And that's when I read it.

01:02:26.880 And then you took it home

01:02:29.520 and you didn't expose

01:02:31.660 or read it to anybody

01:02:32.840 for a few years after that,

01:02:35.860 which...

01:02:36.460 That's right.

01:02:37.100 I think I...

01:02:37.980 I think several years later,

01:02:40.020 maybe 10 or 15 years later,

01:02:41.760 I shared it with my wife.

01:02:44.500 I never showed it to my sons

01:02:46.800 until much later,

01:02:49.600 until maybe 30 or 40 years

01:02:51.180 after the war.

01:02:52.640 And even then,

01:02:53.760 I didn't intimately share it

01:02:55.740 in detail with them.

01:02:58.040 Do you mind if I read it?

01:03:00.020 Of course not.

01:03:02.340 You,

01:03:03.340 my only one dearest,

01:03:06.680 in isolation,

01:03:07.740 we are waiting for darkness.

01:03:08.960 We considered the possibility

01:03:11.620 of hiding

01:03:12.540 but decided not to do it

01:03:13.980 since we felt

01:03:14.780 it would be hopeless.

01:03:16.560 The famous trucks

01:03:17.580 are already here

01:03:18.660 and we're waiting

01:03:19.820 for it to begin.

01:03:21.720 I'm perfectly calm.

01:03:24.260 You,

01:03:25.040 my only and dearest one,

01:03:27.500 do not blame yourself

01:03:28.600 for what happened.

01:03:29.960 It was our destiny.

01:03:31.620 We did what we could.

01:03:33.800 Stay healthy

01:03:34.600 and remember my words

01:03:36.100 that time will heal,

01:03:38.200 if not completely,

01:03:39.640 then at least partially.

01:03:41.940 Take care of the little golden boy

01:03:43.940 and don't spoil him

01:03:45.220 too much with your love.

01:03:47.040 Both of you stay healthy,

01:03:48.760 my dear ones.

01:03:50.080 I'll be thinking of you

01:03:51.420 and Misa.

01:03:52.760 Have a fabulous life.

01:03:55.660 We must board the trucks.

01:03:58.180 Into eternity,

01:03:59.860 Vilma.

01:04:02.820 Wow.

01:04:03.380 What a remarkable woman.

01:04:08.500 Yeah,

01:04:09.080 it's very powerful

01:04:09.960 and very positive.

01:04:11.900 There was never any anger

01:04:13.720 or any hatred

01:04:15.240 that she expressed

01:04:17.060 against anyone,

01:04:18.840 which was amazing to me.

01:04:21.420 So you're reunited

01:04:22.560 with your father.

01:04:23.320 You go back

01:04:23.840 to Czechoslovakia

01:04:25.020 and now you're living

01:04:26.500 under the communists.

01:04:28.380 Yeah,

01:04:28.760 which was an absolute nightmare.

01:04:30.480 We were living

01:04:31.620 after being

01:04:33.800 in a concentration camp

01:04:35.120 for three years.

01:04:37.220 We were living

01:04:37.860 in another concentration camp,

01:04:40.040 which was the socialist,

01:04:42.280 communist country

01:04:43.920 of Czechoslovakia.

01:04:45.580 It was an absolute nightmare.

01:04:47.320 We did not get,

01:04:48.420 we couldn't get the literature

01:04:49.680 that we wanted.

01:04:50.980 We could not get

01:04:51.760 any Western newspapers.

01:04:53.700 We were isolated politically.

01:04:56.700 We were totally handicapped

01:04:58.480 handicapped economically

01:04:59.960 and my father

01:05:02.340 remarried after the war

01:05:04.200 and his,

01:05:05.460 my stepmother,

01:05:06.400 his new wife

01:05:07.180 lived in London

01:05:08.980 and we decided

01:05:10.020 that she did not

01:05:11.820 want to live

01:05:12.380 under the communists.

01:05:13.660 We did not want

01:05:14.340 to live under the communists.

01:05:15.920 So we decided

01:05:17.140 to escape.

01:05:18.720 How'd you do that?

01:05:20.820 It was,

01:05:21.760 it was fantastic.

01:05:23.060 It was again

01:05:23.740 a huge stroke of luck.

01:05:26.020 we,

01:05:27.860 my dad

01:05:29.140 went to the,

01:05:32.220 met by accident,

01:05:34.380 met a man

01:05:35.100 who worked on

01:05:36.660 the Ministry of Interior

01:05:38.420 in Prague

01:05:39.340 in Czechoslovakia

01:05:40.640 and this man

01:05:42.320 was also

01:05:43.180 running away,

01:05:44.520 escaping.

01:05:45.660 This man

01:05:46.340 had access

01:05:47.040 to passports

01:05:48.900 and he made

01:05:50.260 a false passport

01:05:51.420 for us

01:05:52.120 and put me

01:05:53.340 on the passport

01:05:54.040 which was illegal

01:05:54.920 because you have to be

01:05:55.920 under the age of 13

01:05:58.160 to be on somebody's passport

01:05:59.580 and I was already

01:06:00.440 17 years old

01:06:02.280 but he put me

01:06:02.880 on the passport

01:06:03.500 and we escaped

01:06:04.480 basically using

01:06:05.500 a false passport.

01:06:08.320 Came to the United States

01:06:09.540 and how was that?

01:06:11.040 Yeah,

01:06:11.380 to England first.

01:06:12.360 Now what was interesting

01:06:13.240 about it

01:06:13.840 was that

01:06:14.580 we got on a train

01:06:16.720 in Prague

01:06:17.440 and there were only

01:06:18.420 about 10 other people

01:06:19.740 on that

01:06:20.760 Pullman car train

01:06:22.260 and we found out

01:06:25.600 after we got

01:06:26.360 through the border

01:06:27.240 we found out

01:06:28.620 my dad was a doctor

01:06:29.640 of course

01:06:30.220 and there was

01:06:30.680 his

01:06:31.320 the fact that

01:06:33.440 he was a physician

01:06:34.260 was on the passport

01:06:35.700 and after we got

01:06:37.300 through the border

01:06:38.020 we found out

01:06:38.880 that the other

01:06:39.580 8 or 9 people

01:06:40.720 on the train

01:06:41.560 were all physicians

01:06:43.140 they were all

01:06:43.800 medical people

01:06:44.580 going to a

01:06:45.880 communist meeting

01:06:46.740 in Milan

01:06:47.380 in Rome, Italy

01:06:49.960 and when the inspector

01:06:51.480 came in

01:06:52.040 when the guard

01:06:52.620 came in

01:06:53.100 to inspect

01:06:53.640 everybody's passport

01:06:54.700 he assumed

01:06:56.200 that my dad

01:06:56.920 was with the other

01:06:57.800 9 communist doctors

01:06:59.740 going to a

01:07:01.020 communist meeting

01:07:01.880 in Rome, Italy

01:07:03.220 Wow

01:07:03.840 It was a total

01:07:04.560 totally coincidental

01:07:06.220 Wow

01:07:06.940 Have you had

01:07:08.200 a good life?

01:07:10.260 Yes

01:07:10.540 Yes, thank you

01:07:11.880 I have

01:07:12.560 Has it been

01:07:13.180 a happy life?

01:07:14.980 I think so

01:07:16.220 I've had a lot

01:07:17.140 of unfortunate

01:07:18.420 memories

01:07:19.220 and daily

01:07:21.900 flashbacks

01:07:22.800 of the

01:07:25.120 of the war

01:07:26.100 and of the

01:07:26.560 concentration camp

01:07:27.680 and those

01:07:28.820 flashbacks

01:07:29.480 are just

01:07:30.100 you know

01:07:30.680 very intrusive

01:07:31.560 and they come

01:07:32.200 they come every

01:07:33.220 15 minutes

01:07:34.220 or every hour

01:07:35.060 but other than that

01:07:37.320 I've had a very

01:07:37.940 good life

01:07:38.500 Wow

01:07:39.460 Frank, thank you

01:07:40.560 so much for sharing

01:07:41.340 this

01:07:41.660 thanks for sharing

01:07:42.680 your mom

01:07:43.200 with the world

01:07:44.680 and her

01:07:47.040 outlook on life

01:07:48.540 It's inspiring

01:07:51.220 Yes

01:07:53.420 She actually

01:07:55.000 gave me a lot

01:07:55.660 of strength

01:07:56.220 I think as a

01:07:57.440 result of her

01:07:58.400 you know

01:07:59.340 education

01:08:00.580 and her

01:08:01.260 her influence

01:08:02.760 I've had a good

01:08:03.820 life because

01:08:04.500 I've gained a lot

01:08:05.720 of strength

01:08:06.180 from her

01:08:06.740 Frank, thank you

01:08:08.760 so much

01:08:09.120 God bless

01:08:09.660 you and your

01:08:10.360 family

01:08:10.980 thank you so much

01:08:11.980 It was a pleasure

01:08:14.700 Bye

01:08:15.080 It's fine

01:08:15.620 He's in his

01:08:17.020 upper 80s now

01:08:18.140 and doesn't

01:08:19.440 sound it

01:08:19.980 at all

01:08:21.160 and has

01:08:23.740 I think

01:08:24.040 four children

01:08:25.060 and several

01:08:27.300 grandchildren

01:08:29.120 and seems

01:08:31.740 happy

01:08:32.160 That letter though

01:08:33.660 My name's happy

01:08:34.400 That's incredible

01:08:35.260 Isn't that beautiful?

01:08:36.640 Yeah

01:08:36.820 It was from

01:08:39.020 the Indy Star

01:08:39.520 This is the article

01:08:40.220 you read initially

01:08:41.020 called Into Eternity

01:08:42.580 She did not

01:08:43.900 survive the

01:08:44.420 Holocaust

01:08:44.680 but her words

01:08:45.400 did

01:08:45.700 and it's worth

01:08:47.080 reading and

01:08:48.140 passing around

01:08:48.920 It's beautiful

01:08:49.640 You can see

01:08:51.000 the actual

01:08:51.560 letter

01:08:51.840 He didn't

01:08:53.880 show it to

01:08:54.280 anybody for

01:08:54.840 the longest

01:08:55.180 time

01:08:55.560 and then

01:08:56.060 I wonder

01:08:57.040 if somebody

01:08:57.460 told him

01:08:58.160 or if he

01:08:58.760 just started

01:08:59.280 to think

01:08:59.700 you know

01:09:00.480 maybe everybody

01:09:01.100 else should

01:09:01.520 see this

01:09:01.960 and share

01:09:02.260 this too

01:09:02.660 so he

01:09:03.040 donated it

01:09:03.600 to the

01:09:04.020 Holocaust

01:09:04.560 Museum

01:09:05.040 and it

01:09:05.540 is in

01:09:05.960 Washington

01:09:06.300 D.C.

01:09:07.540 But I wanted

01:09:07.940 to share

01:09:08.340 that with

01:09:09.820 you for a

01:09:10.300 couple of

01:09:10.600 reasons

01:09:10.860 One

01:09:11.200 we're trying

01:09:11.960 to talk

01:09:12.340 to people

01:09:12.780 who actually

01:09:13.420 experienced

01:09:14.120 whatever it

01:09:15.700 was

01:09:15.940 moonshot

01:09:16.540 whatever

01:09:16.880 I want

01:09:17.680 to talk

01:09:18.020 to the

01:09:18.260 people

01:09:18.460 who lived

01:09:19.000 history

01:09:19.400 before they

01:09:20.120 pass

01:09:20.640 and I

01:09:22.440 thought this

01:09:22.740 was a

01:09:23.100 very unique

01:09:23.980 look

01:09:24.580 at that

01:09:25.840 time period

01:09:26.620 and it's

01:09:28.480 Mother's Day

01:09:28.980 and the

01:09:31.080 idea that

01:09:32.120 his mother

01:09:33.620 could have

01:09:33.960 lived

01:09:34.400 his mother

01:09:36.500 just had

01:09:36.880 to leave

01:09:37.280 her other

01:09:38.100 son

01:09:38.500 who

01:09:39.540 you know

01:09:40.980 was crippled

01:09:41.640 on the

01:09:42.740 other side

01:09:43.220 of the

01:09:43.440 table

01:09:43.700 with

01:09:43.940 Mengele

01:09:44.340 but she

01:09:45.520 chose

01:09:46.120 to go

01:09:46.800 to the

01:09:47.020 other

01:09:47.200 side

01:09:47.580 to comfort

01:09:48.880 him

01:09:49.360 and to

01:09:50.640 not leave

01:09:51.560 him

01:09:51.920 in that

01:09:53.020 terrifying

01:09:53.540 experience

01:09:54.280 what

01:09:54.860 an amazing

01:09:56.620 amazing

01:09:57.800 woman

01:09:58.180 remember

01:10:00.440 your mom

01:10:00.980 Mother's Day

01:10:02.100 is Sunday

01:10:02.500 all right

01:10:10.600 we've all

01:10:11.000 seen

01:10:11.240 volatility

01:10:11.720 in the

01:10:12.120 stock

01:10:12.380 market

01:10:12.720 and one

01:10:13.080 of the

01:10:13.300 reasons

01:10:13.720 investors

01:10:14.360 are becoming

01:10:14.900 a little

01:10:15.440 panicked

01:10:15.880 is because

01:10:16.440 of rising

01:10:17.100 inflation

01:10:17.760 now one

01:10:18.480 of the

01:10:18.720 few

01:10:18.960 investments

01:10:19.480 that can

01:10:19.960 thrive

01:10:20.460 with inflation

01:10:21.160 is gold

01:10:22.400 and it's

01:10:22.900 probably the

01:10:23.760 major reason

01:10:24.480 why I own

01:10:25.180 it

01:10:25.340 I don't

01:10:26.440 worry about

01:10:27.000 day-to-day

01:10:27.700 inflation

01:10:28.300 I worry

01:10:29.260 about what's

01:10:30.080 happening

01:10:30.360 in Venezuela

01:10:30.960 that you

01:10:31.980 wake up

01:10:32.380 one day

01:10:32.900 and your

01:10:33.620 dollars

01:10:33.920 are worthless

01:10:34.720 and you

01:10:35.360 don't have

01:10:35.700 any assets

01:10:36.200 to protect

01:10:36.920 you

01:10:37.200 now if

01:10:38.140 you think

01:10:38.540 this can't

01:10:39.140 happen

01:10:39.420 look around

01:10:40.260 Zimbabwe

01:10:42.180 is one

01:10:42.820 of the

01:10:43.080 countries

01:10:43.560 Goldline

01:10:44.380 by the

01:10:44.640 way

01:10:45.420 you a

01:10:45.840 free

01:10:47.160 10

01:10:47.700 billion

01:10:48.600 dollar

01:10:49.040 bill

01:10:49.460 just for

01:10:50.700 calling and

01:10:51.140 speaking

01:10:51.360 one of

01:10:51.660 their account

01:10:51.980 executives

01:10:52.400 about the

01:10:52.820 benefits

01:10:53.140 of owning

01:10:53.540 gold

01:10:53.900 you have

01:10:54.700 to have

01:10:55.000 one

01:10:55.120 keep it

01:10:55.480 in your

01:10:55.740 wallet

01:10:55.980 because

01:10:56.380 people will

01:10:57.060 say all

01:10:57.280 the time

01:10:57.520 oh you

01:10:58.120 know that

01:10:58.560 can't happen

01:10:58.960 really

01:10:59.320 here's a

01:11:00.220 10

01:11:00.660 billion

01:11:01.520 dollar

01:11:01.960 bill

01:11:02.420 they're

01:11:03.700 doing it

01:11:04.060 now in

01:11:04.480 Venezuela

01:11:04.880 it happens

01:11:06.440 usually happens

01:11:08.040 when the

01:11:08.500 government tries

01:11:09.160 to take

01:11:09.520 control and

01:11:10.080 control the

01:11:10.600 economy and

01:11:11.380 and they

01:11:12.620 don't stop

01:11:13.260 spending and

01:11:14.020 they just

01:11:14.360 start printing

01:11:15.040 their way out

01:11:15.800 of debt and

01:11:16.440 it doesn't

01:11:17.160 work ever

01:11:18.020 gosh that

01:11:20.500 sounds familiar

01:12:01.680 Mercury

01:12:02.620 Glenn Beck

01:12:17.820 an important

01:12:19.160 election update

01:12:20.620 from West

01:12:21.920 Virginia

01:12:22.480 Mr. Blankenship

01:12:25.840 who spent a

01:12:26.880 year in prison

01:12:28.180 for you know

01:12:29.580 his responsibility

01:12:30.580 of some many

01:12:32.700 of his workers

01:12:34.260 in the coal

01:12:35.300 mine that he

01:12:35.840 owned died

01:12:37.500 due to

01:12:37.960 negligence

01:12:38.620 his negligence

01:12:39.500 he's running

01:12:40.080 now for the

01:12:41.360 Senate for the

01:12:42.120 Republicans and

01:12:43.120 he's just

01:12:44.240 released a new

01:12:44.980 ad which I

01:12:46.920 hope is as

01:12:47.500 good as the

01:12:48.160 last ad

01:12:48.860 here it is

01:12:50.400 this is Don

01:12:51.100 Blankenship

01:12:51.580 candidate for

01:12:52.160 U.S.

01:12:52.500 Senate

01:12:52.700 the establishment

01:12:54.520 politicians are

01:12:55.420 getting desperate

01:12:56.020 and more hostile

01:12:56.860 they are calling

01:12:57.900 me a bigot

01:12:58.500 a moron

01:12:59.360 a despicable

01:13:00.080 character

01:13:00.580 and mentally

01:13:01.120 ill

01:13:01.420 but even if

01:13:02.680 all this is

01:13:03.260 true I will

01:13:03.940 do a better

01:13:04.380 job than

01:13:04.840 they have

01:13:05.200 done

01:13:05.440 they have

01:13:06.540 resorted to

01:13:07.080 this childish

01:13:07.540 name calling

01:13:08.180 because they

01:13:08.700 don't want

01:13:09.260 us to focus

01:13:09.980 on the

01:13:10.360 issues

01:13:10.780 the issues

01:13:11.800 are that we

01:13:12.360 need more

01:13:12.760 West Virginia

01:13:13.280 jobs

01:13:13.760 we need to

01:13:14.480 end the drug

01:13:14.920 crisis

01:13:15.320 and we need

01:13:16.260 an honest

01:13:16.600 government

01:13:16.980 we do not

01:13:18.160 need more

01:13:18.620 childish behavior

01:13:19.440 like you may

01:13:20.040 have witnessed

01:13:20.440 at the Fox

01:13:20.980 debate

01:13:21.340 the fake news

01:13:22.540 is also

01:13:22.980 pretending to be

01:13:23.700 offended by my

01:13:24.560 use of the

01:13:25.040 words China

01:13:25.560 people

01:13:25.920 they seem not

01:13:27.260 to realize that

01:13:28.000 China is a

01:13:28.600 country not a

01:13:29.280 race

01:13:29.560 the establishment

01:13:30.740 has given

01:13:31.240 millions of our

01:13:31.900 jobs to China

01:13:32.580 people and left

01:13:33.400 many West

01:13:33.940 Virginia people

01:13:34.600 to fend for

01:13:35.220 themselves

01:13:35.760 send me to

01:13:37.040 the Senate

01:13:37.420 and I will

01:13:38.300 represent West

01:13:39.060 Virginia people

01:13:39.740 not China

01:13:40.320 people

01:13:40.660 I am an

01:13:41.980 America person

01:13:42.780 and I will

01:13:43.780 put America

01:13:44.500 first

01:13:44.960 so he

01:13:47.860 just he

01:13:48.380 essentially

01:13:48.740 seems to

01:13:49.320 just put

01:13:49.900 people after

01:13:50.900 all of the

01:13:51.480 places they

01:13:52.100 reside

01:13:52.540 yeah it's like

01:13:53.860 people from

01:13:54.320 West Virginia

01:13:54.920 instead he

01:13:55.580 calls them

01:13:55.980 West Virginia

01:13:56.540 people

01:13:56.960 you know

01:13:58.420 people from

01:13:59.140 China

01:13:59.520 they're putting

01:14:00.780 people from

01:14:01.300 China first

01:14:02.000 they're putting

01:14:03.600 China people

01:14:04.300 first

01:14:04.740 it's it's

01:14:06.980 economy of

01:14:07.760 words

01:14:08.300 sure is

01:14:09.500 and he's an

01:14:10.560 America person

01:14:11.280 yeah

01:14:11.800 which he wants

01:14:12.420 you to know

01:14:12.940 right

01:14:13.340 I like the

01:14:14.560 fact that

01:14:14.840 he's

01:14:15.060 they're calling

01:14:16.100 me mentally

01:14:16.500 ill

01:14:16.820 even if all

01:14:18.120 this is true

01:14:18.840 but you know

01:14:20.500 what I'm a big

01:14:21.080 that's actually

01:14:21.960 my favorite part

01:14:23.000 yeah it's kind

01:14:23.600 of because you're

01:14:24.220 kind of you're

01:14:24.560 you're like

01:14:25.220 yeah that's true

01:14:26.460 that's probably

01:14:27.760 true

01:14:28.220 essentially even

01:14:28.940 a bigot an

01:14:29.960 insane bigot

01:14:30.840 could do a

01:14:31.200 better job than

01:14:31.900 they're doing

01:14:32.460 which is

01:14:33.100 probably

01:14:34.820 at least

01:14:36.900 worth

01:14:37.220 consideration

01:14:38.100 of being

01:14:38.660 true

01:14:39.080 oh man

01:14:41.140 it gets

01:14:41.920 it's

01:14:42.720 it's a little

01:14:43.200 crazy

01:14:43.620 you read

01:14:44.260 through these

01:14:44.700 the election

01:14:45.380 reviews as I've

01:14:46.060 gone through

01:14:46.400 the last few

01:14:46.900 days and

01:14:47.420 and you

01:14:47.920 you there's

01:14:49.220 no obvious

01:14:50.780 choice to me

01:14:52.320 in any of

01:14:52.720 these things

01:14:53.120 I have no

01:14:53.640 idea which one

01:14:54.280 of these guys

01:14:54.740 would be good

01:14:55.520 or they're all

01:14:56.640 they're all kind

01:14:57.280 of doing the

01:14:57.760 same thing

01:14:58.340 which is I

01:14:59.600 mean there's

01:14:59.840 one candidate

01:15:00.420 who's bringing

01:15:00.940 cardboard

01:15:01.400 cutouts of

01:15:02.860 Donald Trump

01:15:03.540 to the rallies

01:15:04.220 with him

01:15:04.560 which I guess

01:15:05.560 the Trump

01:15:05.900 campaign had to

01:15:06.440 say hey

01:15:06.820 we didn't

01:15:07.680 endorse you

01:15:08.340 so you can't

01:15:09.180 don't bring

01:15:09.620 the cutout

01:15:10.160 I didn't say

01:15:11.340 you did

01:15:11.940 no he just

01:15:12.700 I just

01:15:13.220 I travel around

01:15:14.900 with a mannequin

01:15:15.740 and a cardboard

01:15:17.320 cutout of

01:15:18.220 whoever is

01:15:18.820 president

01:15:19.240 it was harder

01:15:20.640 for me to get

01:15:21.340 people's attention

01:15:22.060 on the right

01:15:22.560 when I was

01:15:22.980 traveling around

01:15:23.560 with Barack

01:15:24.060 Obama's

01:15:24.640 cardboard cutout

01:15:25.480 but that's

01:15:27.140 just the way

01:15:27.560 I roll

01:15:28.160 back

01:15:28.680 mercury

01:15:29.840 love

01:15:40.500 courage

01:15:41.700 truth

01:15:43.440 Glenn

01:15:45.160 Beck

01:15:46.060 okay

01:15:46.380 anybody remember

01:15:47.660 the promise

01:15:48.300 program

01:15:48.960 this was the

01:15:50.380 initiative adopted

01:15:51.400 by the department

01:15:52.060 of education

01:15:52.620 under Barack

01:15:53.380 Obama

01:15:53.720 basically keeps

01:15:54.920 teenage criminals

01:15:55.920 out of jail

01:15:56.760 and back in

01:15:57.460 classrooms

01:15:58.060 and the rationale

01:15:59.480 is if we

01:16:00.780 counsel teenagers

01:16:01.820 instead of

01:16:02.400 arresting them

01:16:03.000 for committing

01:16:03.440 small crimes

01:16:04.400 those teens

01:16:05.460 could avoid

01:16:06.100 developing a

01:16:06.920 criminal record

01:16:07.700 at such an

01:16:08.380 early age

01:16:09.180 I personally

01:16:10.580 think that

01:16:11.260 makes sense

01:16:12.040 as long as

01:16:12.880 you're coupling

01:16:13.400 it with

01:16:13.880 common sense

01:16:15.160 this way they

01:16:16.500 have more of a

01:16:17.160 fighting chance

01:16:17.840 to escape the

01:16:18.500 life of crime

01:16:19.200 that society

01:16:19.940 you know

01:16:21.080 and if you're

01:16:21.800 on the left

01:16:22.200 especially

01:16:22.660 Republicans

01:16:23.360 want to

01:16:24.180 pigeonhole

01:16:24.680 minority

01:16:25.160 students into

01:16:26.020 we know

01:16:29.220 that what

01:16:29.600 we're doing

01:16:30.040 isn't working

01:16:30.720 but one of

01:16:32.580 the things

01:16:32.980 we're also

01:16:33.800 adding to

01:16:34.640 this bonfire

01:16:35.680 is the

01:16:36.920 fact that

01:16:37.780 we're losing

01:16:39.400 common sense

01:16:40.220 you must

01:16:42.540 couple this

01:16:43.400 with common

01:16:43.880 sense

01:16:44.320 now Broward

01:16:45.600 County School

01:16:46.240 District

01:16:46.540 says the

01:16:46.980 program

01:16:47.360 quote

01:16:47.680 focuses on

01:16:48.700 the situation

01:16:49.380 as being

01:16:50.400 the problem

01:16:51.020 rather than

01:16:51.880 the individual

01:16:52.500 being the

01:16:53.040 problem

01:16:53.440 okay

01:16:54.580 that

01:16:55.100 no

01:16:55.340 no

01:16:57.000 sometimes

01:16:58.340 most times

01:16:59.600 it's the

01:17:00.380 individual

01:17:01.300 in fact

01:17:02.880 almost every

01:17:03.600 time

01:17:04.040 it's the

01:17:05.340 individual

01:17:05.880 it is your

01:17:07.740 fault if you

01:17:08.340 make a bad

01:17:08.860 choice

01:17:09.280 now what are

01:17:10.120 we going to

01:17:10.380 do about it

01:17:11.120 we'll give you

01:17:12.060 another chance

01:17:12.960 because you've

01:17:15.280 you know

01:17:15.900 had a difficult

01:17:17.280 upbringing or

01:17:17.980 whatever we're

01:17:18.620 going to work

01:17:19.200 with you

01:17:19.680 not all the

01:17:21.100 time

01:17:21.420 that's where

01:17:22.240 common sense

01:17:22.920 comes in

01:17:23.500 now the reason

01:17:25.120 why I'm

01:17:25.340 talking about

01:17:25.820 this is after

01:17:26.560 the high school

01:17:26.980 shooting in

01:17:27.520 Parkland

01:17:28.080 there were

01:17:28.480 many questions

01:17:29.320 about the

01:17:29.720 shooter and

01:17:30.160 the dozens

01:17:30.800 of warning

01:17:31.360 signs that

01:17:32.340 apparently the

01:17:33.080 authorities just

01:17:33.780 missed

01:17:34.240 well how is

01:17:36.140 it that

01:17:36.420 really the

01:17:37.740 police were

01:17:38.380 called

01:17:38.820 he went over

01:17:39.900 to the

01:17:40.180 shooter's house

01:17:40.920 as many as

01:17:41.540 45 times

01:17:43.240 and yet he

01:17:44.100 still has

01:17:44.520 access to

01:17:45.100 firearms

01:17:45.580 what is that

01:17:46.760 how's it

01:17:47.840 possible

01:17:48.400 well even

01:17:50.140 senator

01:17:50.520 marco rubio

01:17:51.380 dared to

01:17:52.260 ask whether

01:17:52.760 the shooter

01:17:53.200 had been

01:17:53.540 part of

01:17:53.900 the promise

01:17:54.500 program

01:17:55.280 well in

01:17:57.160 the days

01:17:57.480 after the

01:17:57.960 tragedy

01:17:58.400 broward

01:17:58.840 county

01:17:59.060 school

01:17:59.340 district

01:17:59.640 superintendent

01:18:00.320 robert

01:18:00.840 runcy

01:18:01.320 repeatedly

01:18:02.340 insisted

01:18:03.340 no

01:18:03.920 no

01:18:04.520 connection

01:18:05.040 there's

01:18:05.400 no

01:18:05.640 he was

01:18:06.020 never

01:18:06.320 promise

01:18:06.880 program

01:18:07.520 absolutely

01:18:08.460 not

01:18:09.060 well over

01:18:11.140 the weekend

01:18:11.720 the school

01:18:12.620 district

01:18:13.100 meekly

01:18:13.980 admitted

01:18:14.540 well no

01:18:15.160 one was

01:18:15.520 listening

01:18:15.880 that

01:18:16.300 yeah in

01:18:17.300 fact he

01:18:17.640 was a part

01:18:18.380 of the

01:18:18.760 promise

01:18:19.880 program

01:18:20.440 he was

01:18:21.300 part of

01:18:21.980 that since

01:18:22.580 2013

01:18:23.300 he was

01:18:23.900 could you

01:18:24.460 speak up

01:18:24.920 just a

01:18:25.240 little bit

01:18:25.680 no I

01:18:28.140 really can't

01:18:28.620 he was just

01:18:28.960 vandalizing his

01:18:29.620 middle school

01:18:30.080 in 2013

01:18:30.680 okay

01:18:32.380 did he ever

01:18:33.260 attend the

01:18:33.860 program

01:18:34.340 well we

01:18:34.880 don't we

01:18:35.240 don't we

01:18:35.540 don't know

01:18:35.860 that

01:18:36.120 oh okay

01:18:36.860 all right

01:18:37.620 okay

01:18:38.180 so you

01:18:40.100 took his

01:18:40.660 behavior and

01:18:41.620 his criminal

01:18:42.100 activity and

01:18:42.920 you swept

01:18:43.420 them under

01:18:43.920 the rug

01:18:44.400 and you

01:18:45.840 prevented him

01:18:46.560 from showing

01:18:47.040 up on

01:18:47.600 any criminal

01:18:48.420 background

01:18:49.180 check

01:18:49.720 45 times

01:18:51.920 police are

01:18:52.520 called to

01:18:52.840 the house

01:18:53.360 now

01:18:54.280 superintendent

01:18:54.980 robert runcy

01:18:55.840 are you

01:18:57.480 incompetent

01:18:58.420 or were you

01:18:59.720 lying about

01:19:00.840 the school's

01:19:01.500 connection to

01:19:02.000 the promise

01:19:02.420 program

01:19:03.040 see you know

01:19:04.220 what the

01:19:04.520 problem here

01:19:05.100 is this

01:19:06.660 is beginning

01:19:07.280 to seem

01:19:08.180 like this

01:19:09.320 was almost

01:19:10.980 a group of

01:19:12.220 people getting

01:19:12.780 together right

01:19:13.600 after the

01:19:14.200 shooting and

01:19:14.660 going how do

01:19:15.280 we spin this

01:19:15.900 because boy are

01:19:16.580 we in deep

01:19:17.160 crap

01:19:17.600 because we

01:19:21.120 we've already

01:19:21.560 found out that

01:19:22.220 the sheriff's

01:19:22.840 office that's

01:19:23.620 dirty we

01:19:25.240 know now that

01:19:26.160 the the school

01:19:27.240 superintendent and

01:19:28.360 the the the

01:19:29.460 school district

01:19:30.080 that's clearly

01:19:31.020 dirty what else

01:19:32.500 are you guys

01:19:32.920 covering up did

01:19:34.380 you tear the

01:19:35.020 entire country

01:19:35.900 apart to save

01:19:37.180 your butt

01:19:37.880 well he was

01:19:40.440 likely at least

01:19:41.340 covering his

01:19:41.900 backside because

01:19:42.940 the promise

01:19:44.100 program is

01:19:44.880 his baby

01:19:45.640 he developed

01:19:46.540 the program

01:19:47.120 in 2013

01:19:47.840 so this is

01:19:49.040 one of his

01:19:49.560 first students

01:19:50.840 he's the guy

01:19:53.380 who actually

01:19:54.200 developed it

01:19:54.960 and it caught

01:19:55.580 the eye of

01:19:56.340 the Obama

01:19:56.820 administration

01:19:57.400 so if the

01:19:59.020 Obama education

01:20:00.080 department liked

01:20:00.920 it you can't

01:20:01.760 take it down

01:20:02.440 there in that

01:20:03.300 county you can't

01:20:04.140 take down the

01:20:04.780 guy who started

01:20:06.280 it because that

01:20:07.040 might make people

01:20:07.720 question it around

01:20:08.460 the rest of

01:20:09.020 the world

01:20:09.480 oh

01:20:10.780 superintendent

01:20:14.040 robert runcy

01:20:15.140 broward county

01:20:16.680 sheriff scott

01:20:17.540 israel are

01:20:19.420 they going to

01:20:19.620 be held

01:20:19.920 accountable for

01:20:20.560 their lack of

01:20:21.100 candor about

01:20:22.560 their out and

01:20:23.000 out lies about

01:20:24.940 the promise

01:20:25.560 program when it

01:20:26.740 comes to the

01:20:27.400 parkland shooter

01:20:28.200 and other lies

01:20:29.880 because i warn

01:20:31.740 you if they're

01:20:32.600 not held

01:20:33.160 accountable it

01:20:34.460 will reinforce

01:20:35.320 the key flaw in

01:20:36.920 the promise

01:20:37.480 program

01:20:38.120 absolving

01:20:40.300 individuals from

01:20:41.300 any responsibility

01:20:42.300 for their own

01:20:43.640 actions

01:22:35.520 yeah about

01:22:36.120 someone in the

01:22:36.540 white house

01:22:36.880 number one you

01:22:37.460 can't say that

01:22:37.940 they're not

01:22:38.280 culturally american

01:22:39.480 yeah you can't

01:22:40.400 say so in other

01:22:41.040 words let me just

01:22:41.680 see if i have

01:22:42.120 this right

01:22:42.520 to make sure

01:22:43.900 i'm on the

01:22:44.240 right track here

01:22:44.820 let's say you

01:22:45.980 have somebody

01:22:46.460 in the white

01:22:46.860 house that

01:22:47.400 was that

01:22:48.080 grew up

01:22:48.840 in a distant

01:22:50.400 land not

01:22:51.300 canada europe

01:22:52.700 or asia let's

01:22:54.460 say okay

01:22:55.200 indonesia maybe

01:22:56.060 yeah maybe

01:22:56.720 and grew up

01:22:57.940 and spent all

01:22:58.660 of their time

01:22:59.120 so they didn't

01:22:59.860 have the you

01:23:00.900 know the

01:23:01.260 fourth of july

01:23:02.000 parades and

01:23:02.920 they they didn't

01:23:03.920 grow up in

01:23:04.640 america so they

01:23:05.400 didn't have that

01:23:06.580 same experience

01:23:07.700 so they weren't

01:23:09.060 fully culturally

01:23:10.780 american now

01:23:12.340 are you saying

01:23:12.680 that they're a

01:23:13.080 bad person

01:23:13.740 because no i'm

01:23:14.540 not okay

01:23:15.020 no i'm just i'm

01:23:15.740 just pointing out

01:23:16.460 that they don't

01:23:17.060 have the same

01:23:18.420 experiences which

01:23:20.320 then my gosh

01:23:23.340 creates a sense

01:23:24.860 of otherness

01:23:26.280 which is racist

01:23:29.640 so again i go

01:23:32.800 back to april

01:23:34.180 as a black woman

01:23:36.980 looking at a

01:23:37.700 white woman why

01:23:38.580 are you creating

01:23:39.720 this sense of

01:23:40.620 otherness why is

01:23:42.900 it you are

01:23:43.520 holding her

01:23:44.500 out like this

01:23:45.660 and and

01:23:46.780 focusing on

01:23:48.120 her otherness

01:23:49.360 she's absolutely

01:23:50.680 american all of

01:23:52.060 us are american

01:23:52.740 no matter what

01:23:53.700 your background

01:23:54.320 was no matter

01:23:55.220 how long you've

01:23:56.500 been here we're

01:23:57.440 all americans

01:24:04.260 playing the

01:24:04.760 progressive game

01:24:05.540 because it's so

01:24:06.480 easy it is

01:24:07.640 really fun it's

01:24:08.560 fun and easy

01:24:09.840 because you're

01:24:10.140 just constantly

01:24:10.780 accusing people

01:24:12.020 of things that

01:24:13.180 you're guilty of

01:24:14.360 right like that

01:24:16.300 is the progressive

01:24:17.240 way yeah you know

01:24:18.540 you can sit there

01:24:19.140 and say that it's

01:24:19.900 okay to say those

01:24:20.520 things now because

01:24:21.520 it's and i never

01:24:22.740 got to number two

01:24:23.340 but the other two

01:24:23.980 number two thing

01:24:24.560 you can never do is

01:24:25.240 call a president

01:24:25.720 racist i can

01:24:27.140 never ever ever

01:24:28.800 do something like

01:24:29.620 that no no no

01:24:31.320 no no no no

01:24:33.360 no no no

01:24:34.460 completely off

01:24:36.400 limits didn't you

01:24:37.440 hear there's been a

01:24:39.120 revision of this

01:24:40.140 at the entertainment

01:24:41.760 and technology summit

01:24:43.100 in new york city

01:24:44.220 for variety magazine

01:24:46.340 okay this isn't

01:24:48.340 this is not some

01:24:49.240 backwards

01:24:50.080 heck show

01:24:51.020 this is powerful

01:24:52.660 right variety

01:24:53.760 entertainment and

01:24:54.540 technology summit in

01:24:56.140 new york city

01:24:57.020 so

01:24:59.040 don lemon said

01:25:01.860 it's tough when

01:25:02.840 you have more

01:25:03.340 respect for the

01:25:04.140 office than the

01:25:04.840 person who's sitting

01:25:05.700 in the office

01:25:06.600 it is tough isn't

01:25:08.740 it all you have to

01:25:10.340 do is look at the

01:25:11.340 evidence

01:25:11.960 he went on to list

01:25:14.100 what he called

01:25:15.080 evidence such as

01:25:15.980 trump's insistence

01:25:16.980 that former president

01:25:18.000 barack obama was

01:25:18.780 not born in the u.s

01:25:19.760 and comments about

01:25:20.460 immigrants from

01:25:21.180 mexico who are

01:25:22.020 rapists

01:25:22.480 lemon also mentioned

01:25:24.220 trump's comments on

01:25:25.220 the charlotteville

01:25:25.960 protesters who he

01:25:26.940 described as fine

01:25:27.720 people critical

01:25:29.040 thinking is important

01:25:30.460 as a journalist

01:25:31.460 and if you cannot

01:25:33.520 surmise that this

01:25:34.800 president if he's not

01:25:36.300 a racist he certainly

01:25:38.560 is racist

01:25:39.960 uh adjunct

01:25:41.560 uh adjunct

01:25:43.360 if you if you have

01:25:45.840 the evidence that

01:25:47.040 shows you that

01:25:48.040 indicates that

01:25:49.320 leads you to

01:25:50.220 nothing else but

01:25:50.900 this president being

01:25:51.660 a racist then i feel

01:25:53.080 it's my obligation as

01:25:54.440 a journalist to

01:25:55.200 say it

01:25:55.900 so i didn't call

01:25:59.780 the president a

01:26:01.080 racist

01:26:01.440 i said i think

01:26:04.760 this guy has a

01:26:05.700 a deep-seated

01:26:07.380 hatred

01:26:08.000 something something's

01:26:09.480 right and maybe i

01:26:10.680 was thinking out

01:26:11.400 loud i'm not

01:26:12.560 really sure

01:26:13.360 i should have said

01:26:15.700 maybe it's his

01:26:16.980 hang on just a

01:26:17.740 second that he's

01:26:19.080 not fully culturally

01:26:20.720 american

01:26:21.600 and surely they

01:26:23.680 would have been

01:26:24.000 completely okay

01:26:24.700 they would have

01:26:24.820 been fine with

01:26:25.720 that because i

01:26:26.840 said he's not a

01:26:28.060 racist he has a

01:26:29.580 deep-seated problem

01:26:30.760 with the white

01:26:33.120 culture

01:26:34.000 meaning the

01:26:36.900 american

01:26:37.780 culture the

01:26:39.560 american culture

01:26:40.600 has traditionally

01:26:42.320 been that white

01:26:44.340 waspy kind of

01:26:45.940 culture that

01:26:46.920 everybody says is

01:26:47.860 so oppressive

01:26:48.480 now they didn't

01:26:49.380 know what white

01:26:50.100 culture was

01:26:51.120 you know when i

01:26:52.200 said that you

01:26:53.380 know they were

01:26:53.740 all what do you

01:26:54.420 mean by white

01:26:55.160 culture you know

01:26:56.120 the one that you

01:26:57.220 say is oppressive

01:26:58.200 and the one he

01:26:58.960 wrote in his book

01:27:00.140 correct that when

01:27:01.660 he used the words

01:27:02.840 white culture in

01:27:03.880 that order yeah

01:27:04.720 and he also said

01:27:05.900 that's the way white

01:27:06.820 people will do you

01:27:08.120 you know i i can

01:27:10.260 play the same

01:27:11.060 things that don

01:27:12.160 lemon did he

01:27:13.380 just chose not

01:27:15.220 to see what i

01:27:17.020 saw he just

01:27:18.380 chose because he

01:27:19.420 liked his policies

01:27:20.680 and trusted him

01:27:21.620 he just said

01:27:22.600 well there's not

01:27:23.200 a problem he's

01:27:24.080 not like that

01:27:24.920 okay but can

01:27:26.800 you take a second

01:27:27.540 and see how

01:27:28.260 others might

01:27:29.480 say i think

01:27:30.960 he might be a

01:27:31.800 racist i think

01:27:32.420 he might have a

01:27:32.940 problem with

01:27:33.680 white culture i

01:27:34.800 think he is not

01:27:36.120 culturally american

01:27:37.880 yeah and this is a

01:27:39.580 it's an interesting

01:27:40.300 tie to the big

01:27:41.280 story in the new

01:27:42.120 york times today

01:27:42.860 about the

01:27:43.540 intellectual dark

01:27:44.520 web it's a

01:27:46.280 kind of a profile

01:27:47.220 of a lot of

01:27:47.680 people you've

01:27:48.100 heard on this

01:27:48.740 show right

01:27:49.420 to people who

01:27:50.160 we've had on as

01:27:50.920 guests who are

01:27:52.360 talking about a

01:27:53.940 lot of these

01:27:54.420 issues that are

01:27:55.420 divisive and can

01:27:58.000 be controversial

01:27:58.700 but they talk

01:27:59.620 about them in a

01:28:00.120 civilized and

01:28:01.200 and smart way

01:28:02.320 and you and

01:28:04.000 the spectrum is

01:28:04.840 interesting because

01:28:05.500 there's it's not

01:28:06.000 all conservatives

01:28:06.560 people think oh

01:28:07.220 well because ben

01:28:07.760 shapiro is part of

01:28:08.660 it or glenn beck's

01:28:09.540 part of it or

01:28:10.080 whoever is part of

01:28:10.940 it it's all

01:28:12.060 conservatives and

01:28:12.800 it's all these

01:28:13.140 people it's not

01:28:13.780 it's not i mean

01:28:14.480 jordan peterson i

01:28:15.180 don't know that

01:28:15.500 you'd necessarily

01:28:16.080 look at him and

01:28:16.760 say he's a

01:28:17.600 hardcore conservative

01:28:18.580 he's coming out

01:28:19.560 and saying hey

01:28:20.600 here's what i think

01:28:21.580 about these issues

01:28:22.220 here's why i think

01:28:23.300 this is obvious he

01:28:24.680 certainly pushes back

01:28:25.580 against the left

01:28:26.280 but there are people

01:28:27.660 who are in that

01:28:28.340 group as well that

01:28:29.640 are on the left

01:28:30.960 but they're all

01:28:31.820 racist adjacent

01:28:32.760 though aren't

01:28:33.300 they they probably

01:28:34.200 are adjacent to

01:28:35.000 racism yeah it's

01:28:36.200 all adjacent to

01:28:37.040 racism but that's

01:28:37.860 the point here is

01:28:38.420 that like you could

01:28:39.600 say i think fairly

01:28:40.560 right you could look

01:28:41.340 at glenn beck's

01:28:42.900 comments on fox news

01:28:43.980 all those years ago

01:28:44.900 about the president

01:28:45.940 being racist and

01:28:46.720 say you know what i

01:28:47.220 don't think he is

01:28:47.760 racist here's why

01:28:48.560 that's never what

01:28:49.820 happened no they

01:28:50.620 called me a racist

01:28:51.280 they just said you

01:28:51.820 were and i think by

01:28:52.900 the way still to this

01:28:53.800 day probably the only

01:28:55.100 person in history who

01:28:56.180 was called a racist

01:28:57.080 for calling someone

01:28:58.300 else a racist because

01:28:59.840 i mean al sharpton

01:29:01.200 has called people

01:29:02.240 racist for a hundred

01:29:03.380 million years with no

01:29:04.780 evidence on any of

01:29:05.780 them and no one ever

01:29:06.540 went back to him and

01:29:07.420 said hey the reason

01:29:08.160 you're a racist is

01:29:09.100 because you've used

01:29:09.800 that word no but

01:29:11.020 bowing is though that

01:29:11.840 is that could have

01:29:12.800 been an an

01:29:14.240 interesting intellectual

01:29:16.380 conversation should

01:29:17.400 have been right i

01:29:18.320 mean you know it was

01:29:19.640 such an interesting

01:29:20.560 intellectual conversation

01:29:21.620 that barack obama spent

01:29:22.860 a very large part of

01:29:24.360 his book talking about

01:29:25.680 his struggles his

01:29:27.080 struggles about trying

01:29:29.000 to find his identity

01:29:30.480 as it related to the

01:29:31.980 people around him the

01:29:32.820 communist professors the

01:29:34.340 people who were a race

01:29:35.960 activists and trying to

01:29:37.400 say here's a guy who

01:29:38.720 had a white mom i

01:29:40.140 didn't connect with all

01:29:40.940 that stuff and i but

01:29:42.220 i still found myself

01:29:43.640 agreeing with a lot of

01:29:44.600 it and he struggled

01:29:45.780 through his life which

01:29:46.780 is one of the reasons

01:29:47.660 he he wrote the book

01:29:49.060 in the first place it

01:29:50.300 could have been a

01:29:51.840 really interesting

01:29:52.880 conversation if people

01:29:54.680 approached it civilly and

01:29:56.260 didn't just try to

01:29:57.080 boycott you the second

01:29:58.180 you said it when you

01:29:59.080 say when you say things

01:30:00.420 like he did in his book

01:30:01.640 that his grandmother had

01:30:03.920 a fear of black people

01:30:06.200 bred into her that's a

01:30:09.380 racist statement that

01:30:10.800 was yeah that was in

01:30:11.460 an interview but yeah i

01:30:12.480 mean he was talking

01:30:13.480 about his history that's

01:30:14.780 right it wasn't that

01:30:15.660 was an interview yeah but

01:30:16.540 i mean those were the

01:30:17.680 kinds of things now if

01:30:19.820 if i could quote don

01:30:21.240 lemon if you might not

01:30:23.080 agree but i can list the

01:30:26.460 evidence that makes one

01:30:28.160 think that way and isn't

01:30:30.820 it isn't critical thinking

01:30:33.160 important as a journalist

01:30:35.000 now don lemon i like don

01:30:38.180 he's a fine guy he's he's

01:30:39.960 nice and you've had good

01:30:41.180 conversations and i don't

01:30:42.400 agree with him very often

01:30:43.580 but i he's a nice guy um

01:30:46.280 i i will tell you this

01:30:47.900 though wait a minute don

01:30:49.560 because you raked me over

01:30:51.120 the coals for the same

01:30:52.300 thing now i haven't raked

01:30:53.920 you over the coals because

01:30:55.620 i can see how somebody might

01:30:58.320 think that i don't think

01:31:00.460 that's who he is but i can

01:31:02.560 understand that you'd like

01:31:04.140 to have a conversation

01:31:05.080 that's great but let's

01:31:07.060 have the full conversation

01:31:08.620 can you understand how

01:31:10.300 other people might have

01:31:11.720 thought that way in the

01:31:12.560 same thing with april ryan

01:31:13.880 april you never gave

01:31:16.440 anyone the benefit of the

01:31:18.200 doubt you immediately i

01:31:19.920 guarantee it would have

01:31:21.980 thought anybody who said

01:31:23.360 well barack obama isn't

01:31:24.740 culturally american you

01:31:26.360 would have gone crazy and

01:31:28.680 surely did i mean i i i

01:31:30.520 i don't remember april from

01:31:32.460 that i don't even know who

01:31:33.540 she is she's not actually

01:31:35.240 a cnn she's just a

01:31:36.440 contributor to cnn she's

01:31:37.500 the white house correspondent

01:31:38.780 for the american urban

01:31:40.240 radio networks um but

01:31:42.720 still i mean like it's it's

01:31:43.740 a it's a it's an

01:31:46.280 understandable thing to

01:31:48.380 react the way that so many

01:31:50.720 people do you jump to

01:31:53.120 defend your team to defend

01:31:54.600 your flag to defend whatever

01:31:56.240 your side is and attack the

01:31:58.220 other side because that's the

01:31:59.200 way people do things but

01:32:00.420 again i think what what the

01:32:01.520 story today in the new york

01:32:02.460 times is talking about with

01:32:03.940 the intellectual dark web is

01:32:05.280 a is a way for people to

01:32:06.580 approach these issues and

01:32:08.120 actually do it in a sane

01:32:10.100 calm civil smart way so

01:32:14.540 let's talk about that let's

01:32:15.820 talk about the intellectual

01:32:16.740 dark web and for instance

01:32:18.860 did you see the catholic

01:32:20.840 themed met gala last night

01:32:23.260 most people didn't thank god

01:32:26.080 but you do need to look at it

01:32:28.140 for a second and let's have a

01:32:29.820 reasonable conversation

01:32:31.900 especially about you know the

01:32:35.360 appropriation of other

01:32:36.480 people's culture

01:32:37.560 okay the head of fema came out

01:33:57.560 glenn back

01:34:09.440 you know i i know nobody pays

01:34:16.520 attention to the met gala but i think

01:34:19.900 we should it's it's one of fashion's

01:34:22.000 biggest events of the year and this

01:34:26.080 year it was put on your sunday best

01:34:29.600 because it's catholic theme that's

01:34:33.200 appropriate yeah now how many how many

01:34:35.760 people do you think that attend the gala

01:34:38.780 and run the gala are deep

01:34:43.000 practicing catholics no more than uh

01:34:47.460 point

01:34:48.000 zero zero zero zero percent yeah no

01:34:54.360 more than that so so they all came out

01:34:58.020 yesterday uh one was one celebrity was in

01:35:01.060 a leather bondage mask that was draped in

01:35:03.540 rosary beads i don't know if you know

01:35:05.700 this but the rosary to catholics is a

01:35:08.420 really sacred thing it's not a party uh

01:35:11.880 tire it's not um you know it's accessory

01:35:14.940 that you go out on a night in the town

01:35:17.020 okay it's actually that would be i would

01:35:21.880 be taking somebody's culture and mocking

01:35:23.660 it would it be appropriate well i don't

01:35:26.520 know if i'd go that far okay okay now

01:35:29.040 maybe rihanna dressed as the pope in a

01:35:32.920 very short skirt that might be

01:35:36.100 appropriation of uh culture but okay

01:35:39.600 right because i'm see i'm having a hard

01:35:42.100 time with this i'm trying to figure out

01:35:44.520 how it is that they're okay with this

01:35:50.020 and we're okay with this and just let

01:35:53.780 them get away with it while they yell at

01:35:56.520 us about cinco de mayo mercury

01:35:59.080 you're listening to the glenn beck

01:36:15.680 program i'm sending uh two of our best

01:36:20.260 writers uh over to israel uh this week

01:36:23.340 and i would ask that you would cover

01:36:25.000 them in prayer uh as it is uh it could

01:36:28.180 be very dicey next next week is the 75th

01:36:31.020 anniversary we open the u.s embassy in

01:36:34.420 jerusalem next week palestinians are not

01:36:37.260 happy with this uh also we are on the

01:36:40.220 verge of i think pulling out of the

01:36:42.180 iranian deal which will not make the

01:36:44.480 iranians and and those in the middle

01:36:46.460 east happy um and we're in just a very

01:36:49.500 precarious situation here in the next

01:36:51.940 few days and we want to remember you

01:36:56.560 know why israel is there in the first

01:36:57.980 place 75 years it's the first 75 years

01:37:03.180 that the jewish people have had a place

01:37:05.340 to call home where no one could take

01:37:07.080 their guns no one could say no no no you

01:37:09.260 you have to live over here or no no no

01:37:11.720 that they for the very first time in

01:37:14.880 2000 years they have control over their

01:37:17.420 own life and everyone has a has a right

01:37:20.200 to defend themselves you can't i don't

01:37:22.820 think you can understand the importance

01:37:25.300 uh to the jewish people of their own

01:37:28.980 home land unless you go through auschwitz

01:37:33.740 or or one of the concentration camps and

01:37:37.200 you realize that that wasn't the first

01:37:38.580 time that was i think the 24th time that

01:37:41.380 there had been an extermination attempt

01:37:42.980 of the jews um there is a um a filmmaker

01:37:46.520 uh his name is john keen he has done a

01:37:50.240 couple of films and he seems to be a

01:37:52.000 really thoughtful guy that is searching

01:37:53.540 uh for more than just the regular story

01:37:58.340 uh and he's got a new film out it's

01:38:01.500 called after auschwitz and it and what it

01:38:03.380 is is it's a it's a story of the women

01:38:06.000 who came here to america they survived

01:38:10.460 they came here and their life here in

01:38:13.880 america and how they first perceived it

01:38:16.300 how they they wept when they saw the

01:38:18.000 statue of liberty and then what their

01:38:21.380 experience was like and how it was kind

01:38:23.580 of left in the closet uh for a very long

01:38:26.240 time john welcome to the program oh

01:38:28.380 thanks so much glenn i appreciate that

01:38:29.900 sure you're you're a guy who um has

01:38:33.060 taken on i mean you've taken a

01:38:34.600 controversial uh stance with you know

01:38:37.720 swimming at auschwitz um or or it was a

01:38:40.980 controversial film i should say when it

01:38:42.480 came out um and now you're you're uh

01:38:45.580 embracing um uh this message which i have

01:38:49.780 never heard this angle before and i think

01:38:51.920 it's really important uh for at least for

01:38:55.280 americans what is it you're looking for

01:38:58.020 what is it you were what is it you're

01:38:59.720 looking for well well and to just address

01:39:02.820 the first thing real quick i think

01:39:03.960 swimming in auschwitz the only thing that

01:39:05.320 was controversial about it was the fact

01:39:07.160 that i was studying laughter as a survival

01:39:09.100 tool yeah and people thought i was maybe

01:39:11.180 being uh not not recognizing the horrors

01:39:14.040 which is farthest from the truth right

01:39:15.900 for this film you know we as we we tend

01:39:18.580 to study history it just ending holocaust

01:39:21.400 39 to 45 you're free go home that

01:39:24.180 chapter's over move on and we never stop

01:39:26.460 to think about what happens next and i think

01:39:28.840 it's something that we do in our natural

01:39:30.140 our consciousness as a country we tend to

01:39:33.080 study something study something then we

01:39:34.540 just fly away to the next thing and the

01:39:36.500 add history i think that we you know this

01:39:39.200 has been a fascination of mine i think

01:39:41.420 it's why we haven't really healed as a

01:39:43.800 nation all of the wounds that we have to

01:39:45.520 heal um you know after lincoln was killed

01:39:48.500 we just moved on after martin luther king

01:39:50.860 was killed we just kind of moved on uh and

01:39:53.900 right if you don't have the conversations

01:39:55.720 about what happened about what you're

01:39:57.800 facing you don't move on that's a that's a

01:39:59.940 major theme of the film so i remember the

01:40:02.660 world war ii generation i'm old enough to

01:40:05.120 have grown up with grandparents that lived

01:40:06.960 through it and they didn't want to talk

01:40:09.520 about it but your film your film follows uh

01:40:13.920 these women who came here and you know each

01:40:17.520 led their own life but they had kind of a

01:40:20.120 different experience it wasn't that

01:40:21.760 necessarily they didn't want to nobody

01:40:24.240 wanted to talk to them exactly they wanted

01:40:27.120 to talk they came here assuming they would

01:40:29.000 talk about what happened and they were

01:40:30.800 either told that what they did was wrong

01:40:33.000 after liberation or you know hey we don't

01:40:36.000 don't talk about it you're in america put

01:40:37.840 it behind you as if everything could be

01:40:39.760 okay by that um it it's it's it's a great

01:40:43.660 sense of denial that they had to face for

01:40:45.340 35 plus years until we as a country started

01:40:47.840 asking what happened i was amazed to see in

01:40:50.160 the in the film that it was really one of

01:40:52.760 the things they talked about as as a

01:40:54.240 changing point in in them talking about

01:40:56.400 their experiences was a tv mini series yeah

01:40:59.100 can you walk us through that well there's a

01:41:02.160 there was a mini series in 78 that came

01:41:03.860 out on nbc called the holocaust family of

01:41:06.300 the story weiss and it was nbc's response

01:41:09.460 to roots roots was so successful nbc wanted

01:41:12.960 their mini series so they they commissioned

01:41:15.740 this one because it was close to being

01:41:17.340 ready on a different project and that

01:41:19.880 project not only changed america was the

01:41:22.140 second highest program at that time it

01:41:24.220 changed holocaust education in germany and

01:41:26.840 the germans started addressing their history

01:41:28.520 as well because of that film it's not a

01:41:30.960 great film it's very rudimentary and and

01:41:33.400 and but but it it started a conversation

01:41:36.340 so in germany do you think people didn't

01:41:39.560 talk about it because i mean you you didn't

01:41:43.040 know you know what you were going to find in

01:41:45.720 your own family if you weren't jewish you

01:41:48.540 didn't know if you had a relative that was you

01:41:51.800 know i don't want to ask mom and dad what

01:41:54.000 they were what they were thinking exactly

01:41:56.000 do you know what i mean yeah or grandpa

01:41:57.900 germany's a fact i don't know if you've

01:42:00.120 traveled to berlin or spent some time in

01:42:02.240 germany it's a fascinating place because

01:42:04.340 they have so many things to commemorate the

01:42:06.700 holocaust so many monuments so many

01:42:08.640 buildings but none of them have signage on

01:42:10.940 them it's like they've they've they've gone

01:42:13.720 90 of the way but just can't do that last

01:42:16.520 little bit even the hitler bunker um there's

01:42:19.680 no real signage to it it's a sign facing

01:42:21.780 away to a parking lot because they don't

01:42:23.660 want to advertise it they don't want to

01:42:25.460 make it a flashpoint for something else

01:42:27.320 so it's barely recognized you have to know

01:42:29.600 what you're looking for it's a fascinating

01:42:31.500 place so what did you find with these

01:42:33.220 women

01:42:33.480 i found they've made me a better person

01:42:37.380 they really have they've made me look at

01:42:38.920 life differently i was in new york a few

01:42:41.180 months ago looked at the statue of liberty

01:42:43.100 for the first time and it meant something

01:42:44.400 to me i've been seeing the statue of liberty

01:42:46.420 since i was born and i've never had a visceral

01:42:48.780 reaction to it i did for the first time two

01:42:51.520 months ago why because it meant something

01:42:54.780 different to me now it meant what it was

01:42:56.580 intended to mean it it meant we we are

01:42:59.600 welcoming the the tired and the poor and i

01:43:01.580 can't remember the whole poem now and i

01:43:03.200 should but before it was just a place i went

01:43:07.100 to for school field trips or the place that

01:43:09.280 you looked at across the across the water

01:43:11.080 when you were doing something else in new

01:43:12.900 york they given me a perspective i'm seeing

01:43:15.680 i see the world through different eyes and

01:43:17.660 that's what we need to do we need to try to

01:43:19.500 see what other people are seeing sometimes

01:43:21.880 communication tell me tell me tell me about

01:43:25.200 their their view of america before they got

01:43:27.880 here and then after they got here and and

01:43:30.740 started to age some here right well america

01:43:33.940 was it was it was the golden land the

01:43:35.800 streets were paved with gold we live in

01:43:37.360 castles america was this was this fantasy

01:43:39.900 to them and and they got here and you know

01:43:43.960 you're living in hoboken or you're living

01:43:45.580 in allentown you're living in detroit and

01:43:48.100 it's one foot in front of the other it's no

01:43:49.840 fantasy it's a survival day to day how do i

01:43:52.200 pay my rent

01:43:52.840 um you lost almost the whole cast during

01:43:57.680 this film this has taken you how long six

01:43:59.880 six years seven years the idea was 15 years

01:44:02.620 in the making the film itself was probably

01:44:04.280 about four or five

01:44:05.240 and so yeah and so tell me tell me about

01:44:08.900 how you selected them and then how you lost

01:44:11.580 them one by one yeah that it you know i i

01:44:14.580 started out for the first film swimming in

01:44:16.220 auschwitz which i told you laughter as a

01:44:18.280 survival tool didn't work as a movie but i

01:44:21.000 had 18 survivors on camera the women stood

01:44:24.660 out to me i'd never heard stories of war from

01:44:26.940 female point of view and women i'll

01:44:29.620 generalize here have much more emotional depth

01:44:32.300 than men do they tap into relationships

01:44:35.220 communication and they're much more fun to

01:44:37.160 interview i find you've interviewed more

01:44:40.000 people than i have maybe you have a different

01:44:41.640 different no i i would agree with you

01:44:43.420 yeah generally speaking the women just just

01:44:45.320 jumped off the screen to me they're

01:44:46.720 beautiful their stories are incredible

01:44:48.580 they're powerful i just went with it and

01:44:51.500 you can't get away from it when you find

01:44:53.540 somebody you're that tied to you just

01:44:55.120 can't get away and yet we've lost three we

01:44:57.700 have uh we have three ladies with us still

01:45:00.220 and it you know we're getting to this time

01:45:02.480 where we're not going to have first-hand

01:45:03.700 witnesses it's a terrifying time so we're

01:45:06.140 doing all the work we can do now so i mean

01:45:07.760 kudos to you for getting getting this story

01:45:09.880 out there we all we've all got to tell

01:45:12.220 this story while we have the witnesses

01:45:13.660 yeah you know i i've um you know tokyo rose

01:45:16.760 i i own her microphone and uh uh and you know

01:45:22.320 when you know the story of tokyo rose who

01:45:24.580 was horribly wronged by the press here in

01:45:26.960 the united states uh there were six or seven

01:45:29.660 tokyo roses the one we know was actually a

01:45:31.780 patriot and she served two prison sentences

01:45:34.340 one in in japan and one here and uh finally

01:45:37.800 was pardoned in the 70s um but it uh you

01:45:41.720 know when i really kind of found her story

01:45:43.360 she had only died about three years before

01:45:46.540 and i thought man my whole life i could

01:45:50.100 have interviewed her i could have talked to

01:45:52.360 her and it's this new kind of feeling for

01:45:55.460 me and i i want to talk to people who who

01:45:58.040 lived it whatever it was i want to they saw

01:46:01.340 it with her own eyes tell me about it i bet

01:46:04.180 that you're you're so right you cannot ask

01:46:06.000 questions of a grave you cannot so when you're

01:46:08.680 with people the other thing too is oh i don't

01:46:11.040 want to ask the survivor that question it might

01:46:13.020 bring up the past it might bring up bad

01:46:14.660 memories the past and bad memories are there

01:46:16.780 you don't have to bring it up they they have

01:46:18.800 it in their blood that's in their dna

01:46:20.840 but when you ask them a question they are

01:46:23.720 connected they're connected to you they're

01:46:25.580 part of our world they want i've had

01:46:27.820 questions with survivors about being next to a gas chamber seeing your

01:46:32.020 family walk into a gas chamber about sex about what what you saw in

01:46:37.080 camps physicality abuse um in the film we mentioned just the

01:46:41.800 this the rampant sexual abuse of women at liberation

01:46:44.980 yeah these are heavy conversations to have

01:46:47.860 but they frame going forward when you see what

01:46:50.820 people can become in their lives after what they've been through

01:46:53.600 we all move on from trauma we all choose how we're going to move on from

01:46:57.420 trauma the resiliency is there you only learn that by asking questions

01:47:01.040 yeah there's nothing wrong with asking a question of somebody they can always

01:47:04.400 just say i'd rather not say one uncomfortable topic that you kind of

01:47:08.060 talk to cover is the women come to the united states and they're not sure

01:47:12.420 whether they want to build families here right what what did you find well why

01:47:18.560 would you want to put a child into the world that did that to you how can you

01:47:21.200 protect that child ever i i don't know i don't know if you have

01:47:24.680 children going i know when i my kids were born it's this odd feeling of i must

01:47:29.240 you know papa bear i must protect these little helpless beings and i never had

01:47:33.900 the nazis knock on my door yeah i have i have four children and it never

01:47:38.080 gets easier i'm still thinking that they're you know my oldest is 30 and i'm

01:47:41.680 still thinking that i'm still thinking so we all have that they just have it in

01:47:46.440 spades yeah we're talking to uh we're talking to john keeney's director of uh

01:47:51.000 after auschwitz john the movie obviously starts with such tragedy right and one of

01:47:57.280 the worst things that's ever happened on the planet but do you consider it to be

01:48:00.880 in some ways a happy movie you know i consider it to be a movie about life and

01:48:05.940 and i choose to believe that life is happy um have you ever i don't know if you

01:48:09.980 were ever a fan of jim valvano there's a speech that he makes uh before he

01:48:17.840 emotions move you to tears and you should laugh because that's a heck of a

01:48:21.620 day laugh think cry and that's life to me that's life doing it all today is a

01:50:32.140 glenn beck

01:50:43.340 a recent study conducted by cornell and the university of michigan has researchers baffled

01:50:51.280 after finding that climate change skeptics are more likely to engage in sustainability efforts

01:50:58.720 in their everyday lives than global warming alarmists entitled believing in climate change

01:51:05.880 but not behaving uh evidence from a one-year longitudinal study published by the journal of

01:51:13.020 environmental psychology environmental psychology the study of 600 people divided participants into

01:51:19.580 three groups according to their beliefs on climate change either highly concerned cautiously worried or

01:51:25.000 skeptical researchers concluded that the respondents who identified themselves as highly concerned were

01:51:30.640 most supportive of government climate policies but least likely to report individual level actions

01:51:37.700 whereas the skeptical opposed policy solutions but were the most likely to report engaging in individual level pro-environmental behaviors

01:51:47.520 hmm

01:51:49.080 that so everyone can do their little part uh so you're welcome alarmist for us skeptics carrying you yes

01:51:56.840 exactly right amazing well that even that goes back to the george bush's house remember that whole controversy back against john

01:52:03.840 carrey back in 2004 wasn't it yeah and al gore's house al gore uses more than what 12 21 times 21 times more energy than the average home

01:52:12.660 uh huh and every year that comes out again that same story it's not the same story they just keep finding the new numbers on it

01:52:19.060 and i am i am skeptical of climate change i mean i'll believe the numbers i'm skeptical more of of the scientists uh and their science than actual science

01:52:30.720 and more than that the solutions applied to whatever that science finds correct so i know that if we're going to do something we have to do it

01:52:37.420 ourselves i i live in a very well i don't live in it my my my ranch is very green i'm not going to put solar panels down here

01:52:47.840 it's not going to do it it's not going to do it it's texas it's against the law in texas yeah i want an oil
