00:00:00.000
The Blaze Radio Network, on demand, Glenn Beck.
00:00:12.940
Two days ago, President Trump, in all caps, warned the Iranian president not to threaten
00:00:18.420
the United States or to be prepared to suffer the consequences.
00:00:24.000
Yesterday, the Iranian foreign minister responded, in all caps, of course, color us unimpressed.
00:00:33.960
Then a bunch of rambling bravado and finally ending with his own identical electronic yell,
00:00:44.200
Now, Twitter wars aside, because they are pretty darn frightening, aren't they?
00:00:51.760
You can almost play a twisted and demented game of pick your caliphate with all of the
00:00:57.280
regional actors looking to hang on just a second.
00:01:00.460
I'm being handed this note from the New York Times.
00:01:04.120
Yes, caliphate is still a crazy conspiracy theory.
00:01:09.580
Anyway, all of the people that are looking to take advantage of the chaos that ISIS has
00:01:14.540
There's all kinds of people that are looking to build a caliphate, and none of them is in
00:01:19.360
a better position to benefit from all of that than Iran.
00:01:26.880
Iraq, Iranian-funded, trained, and directed militias have spread out all over the country.
00:01:36.580
Now, beyond Iraq, Iranians are pushing closer and closer to the heart of the Middle East,
00:01:43.880
where the next war will be or it will be all about.
00:01:48.000
Their militaries, their militias, their Revolutionary Guard Corps are all over Syria, and they're
00:01:54.140
pushing closer and closer to the Golan Heights.
00:01:57.380
There's only so much that the Israelis are going to put up with, especially when you get near
00:02:02.900
They've already begun striking Iranian groups with limited airstrikes, but there's only so
00:02:08.540
much, you know, anybody can do with Russian air defense assets protecting both Iran's
00:02:15.660
Meanwhile, both are seeing how close they can get to the Golan Heights.
00:02:23.560
Because I thought last week we heard how much Vladimir Putin loves Israel.
00:02:31.940
He's protecting Assad, and they are at the same time enabling Iran to turn Syria into another
00:02:42.100
In less than two weeks, Netanyahu has traveled to Moscow and spoken to Putin over the phone
00:02:48.720
and yesterday spoke to the Russian foreign minister in Jerusalem.
00:02:59.620
Russia suggested that the Iranian troops stay in Syria, but they can't come any closer than
00:03:17.480
So as all of this has been going on, a record amount of rocket attacks from Gaza have been
00:03:25.620
Iran is pressuring Hamas to up the pressure while at the same time moving their troops down
00:03:31.380
What are they doing exactly what they said they would do in circle Israel and Russia is helping
00:03:40.500
Listen to some of just the escalations in the past 72 hours.
00:03:45.080
On Monday, Israel fired missiles at two Syrian missile sites.
00:03:49.640
Just this morning, literally within minutes, Israel has shot down a Russian-made Syrian fighter jet
00:04:05.140
Iran, Syria, and Russia are showing that they are an Axis power.
00:04:27.680
But, Stu, let's talk about things that really matter.
00:04:43.720
Seems minor in comparison to whatever you're going to bring up next.
00:04:49.880
The money diaries are tracking the real strife in America.
00:04:55.900
And they're asking people to tell us, how are you fighting through it?
00:05:03.640
I mean, in this economy, you know, with really record low unemployment, difficult times.
00:05:08.900
Especially if you're living in, you know, a big city and you're a millennial female.
00:05:25.220
And I don't know how you make it when you're a millennial today.
00:05:28.600
So here is what the money diaries do is they ask people to track how they spend their money.
00:05:38.540
And like, it's seemingly like every little event in their life.
00:05:52.060
She lives in New York City and she lives on $25 an hour.
00:05:59.560
Now imagine, seriously, imagine, you know, that salary going in New York City.
00:06:07.000
By the way, the average salary right now, hourly salary right now is about $25 an hour,
00:06:11.740
which is pretty incredible when you think about that nationwide.
00:06:16.160
So weekly, she pulls in $747 plus $100 to $120 every one or two weeks from babysitting.
00:06:30.780
Her parents give her $800 a month in allowance.
00:06:34.380
And her grandfather also wires her $300 every month.
00:06:52.160
Well, actually, that money is not gone because her parents are paying her share of the rent.
00:07:01.840
Her roommate that lives in the den pays $1,900.
00:07:08.300
But her share of, just to be clear, her share of the rent is zero dollars.
00:07:15.700
You know, I have relatives who have been still 10 years into their career and they're still
00:07:24.180
I mean, she has student loans in her name, but her parents have taken care of that.
00:07:28.040
So her share of the student loan payment is zero.
00:07:45.580
I don't fully know what that is, but I don't really want to Google it either.
00:07:58.900
Then she has her Equinox pass so she can work out.
00:08:06.600
Well, that can get really pricey, though, Glenn.
00:08:09.200
With data plans and everything else, when you're a millennial, you're using your phone all the time.
00:08:12.220
I was going to say that she's not paying for her phone.
00:08:19.220
You know, she has to pay for Netflix and Spotify and Amazon.
00:08:41.400
By the way, we're going to have her on TV tonight.
00:08:49.680
It's the day after the 4th of July, and I'm beat from drinking all day.
00:08:54.480
I also had a panic attack last night, and I'm still feeling a little off.
00:08:59.240
Thankfully, my boyfriend slept over and helped calm me down.
00:09:06.960
And, you know, she's woman enough to say, I spent all day drinking.
00:09:14.940
That's how you celebrate independence that way.
00:09:20.420
And then she packs up workout clothes in her briefcase.
00:09:23.820
For breakfast, I make the classic avocado toast with feta cheese and a hard-boiled egg.
00:09:28.580
I mean, can you play into the stereotype anymore, avocado toast?
00:09:33.300
At 8.57 a.m., being that everyone had the day off yesterday, I think it'll be okay getting in to work a couple of minutes late.
00:09:50.420
And that's because she's not feeling well because of all the drinking.
00:09:52.980
Yeah, well, she had to stop by Whole Foods to pick up a bottle of cold brew to keep at the office.
00:09:59.420
That's her, she said, that's the easiest way to, you know, not spend too much for coffee.
00:10:11.660
11.26 a.m., I spent most of my morning working on a small project, then online shopping and journaling.
00:10:22.520
Because this is the first thing you said about her day, and she's including online shopping?
00:10:27.560
She says, the perk of being an intern is that I don't get too much work assigned.
00:10:37.040
12.30 p.m., check the Albert app I downloaded last month.
00:10:42.000
It's supposed to smart save for you by tracking how much you make and spend.
00:10:46.400
So far, I've saved $113 to pay for my Equinox membership next month.
00:10:52.600
It also reminds me that I spent $55 on coffee last month.
00:11:00.900
It's $55 on coffee in New York, especially if you're going to Whole Foods for it.
00:11:06.520
So, 12.35, she decides to go to the cafeteria in the building for lunch.
00:11:13.000
She takes her lunch outside, thankfully, because it's not too hot outside.
00:11:23.000
She online shopped, and then she went on an app about saving money for her gym membership?
00:11:26.340
Please do not try to downplay the struggle of this millennial.
00:11:30.320
At 1.05 p.m., she says, I sit around and do nothing until 3 when there's a meeting.
00:11:54.880
If she took a break from nothing, is she doing something?
00:11:56.740
She said, I'm eating an apple, and I'm going to drink some green tea.
00:12:00.100
I brought the apple from home, and I make the green tea in the office pantry.
00:12:12.900
Okay, Grandpa, I used to walk to work both ways uphill.
00:12:18.520
That is more than she's been doing for the last two hours.
00:12:24.120
It either didn't happen at 3 p.m., or it only lasted a half an hour because she had to take
00:12:31.600
At 4.42, she says, I'm finally done with all of my meetings.
00:12:35.580
My boss is going out of town for two weeks and has left me with a bunch of little tasks
00:12:43.020
5.01, I leave every day at 5 o'clock on the dot.
00:12:49.980
She's not staying after to do more online shopping?
00:12:56.220
You know, it doesn't matter if she's there, you know, a little late in the morning, but
00:13:02.720
And by the way, 5 o'clock on the dot, didn't she say it was 5.01?
00:13:06.560
I don't mind because I get to go work out and enjoy my afternoons every day.
00:13:15.660
So does that mean she's going to be doing her online shopping from home?
00:13:21.300
She'll make her tea, and she'll do nothing, and then she'll do some shopping.
00:13:36.860
The instructor has some technical difficulties getting the music set up, but the class is
00:13:42.700
Even though it's way out of my comfort zone, my booty is on fire.
00:13:49.660
Oh, was that part of the story, or were you just saying that?
00:13:54.500
I spend the rest of my afternoon packing for my Hamptons trip this weekend.
00:14:05.400
Like the most exclusive place on the East Coast to summer?
00:14:11.660
Now, remember, she said, I get to work from home, and it feels like Friday, inferring
00:14:27.960
So, when she's working from home, she's actually going to the Hamptons.
00:14:31.860
She said, I prepare a dinner with just some random findings.
00:14:37.960
During the school year, I cook a meal in my apartment.
00:14:42.120
I whip up whole wheat pasta with vodka sauce, roasted carrots and tomatoes, and a veggie burger.
00:14:51.920
I don't think I can handle more of this poverty tale.
00:14:58.080
11.36, I call it a night earlier than I have in weeks.
00:15:28.980
I thought you were going to work from home the next day.
00:15:33.440
She said, I quickly switch on my laptop to see if I have any emails per usual.
00:15:41.960
Why are people reaching out with important requests to the tasks in the office?
00:15:47.460
Head over to my boyfriend since we're getting breakfast together before we leave.
00:15:50.780
I call Lyft because I can't carry my purse and my weekend bag and my briefcase for a 20-minute walk.
00:16:09.840
After working out for a bit at my boyfriend's place, I don't even want to know what that is,
00:16:16.080
we head over to the local juice bar for, is it acai bowls and smoothies?
00:16:22.440
We had originally agreed on going to a diner, but boyfriend got up early to go to the gym,
00:16:30.560
I don't complain because he pays for his smoothie and my bowl.
00:16:48.380
We're going to do some online shopping, and we'll continue with.
00:16:58.060
How people are living in this country like this, I don't understand.
00:17:05.960
Owning a home has never been easier, and it continues to be a great investment.

00:18:27.940
American Financing Corporation, NMLS 182334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.
00:18:40.360
We're going to have this young lady on today at 5 o'clock.
00:18:47.960
What is it like to be a millennial, 21 years old,
00:18:54.160
and just trying to make ends meet in New York City?
00:18:59.320
This marketing intern in New York City, it's horrible.
00:19:39.960
She doesn't pay for the phone or Netflix or Amazon
00:19:46.280
And she's on insurance for Mom and Dad as well.
00:19:49.200
But we last left her on her way on a Friday afternoon to the Hamptons with some friends.
00:20:09.480
If you think you have it tough, I want to tell you the life of a young millennial.
00:20:17.200
She'll be joining me at 5 o'clock today on the Blaze TV.
00:20:21.260
And I don't know what I'm going to say to her because this is a terrifying story.
00:20:26.120
The question is, can you live in New York on $25 a month?
00:20:36.520
She also gets a $1,000 allowance from her parents
00:20:39.960
and a $300 allowance a month from her grandfather.
00:20:50.920
But she has to pay for her sugared Brazilian...
00:20:55.700
Her Brazilian sugaring that happens once a month.
00:21:02.920
Her folks pay for her phone and all of that stuff.
00:21:07.540
But she's responsible for the Brazilian sugaring.
00:21:14.180
Now, when we last left her, it was on a Friday.
00:21:22.360
She had been late the day before at 9 a.m. for work.
00:21:26.080
But it was because it was a holiday week and people...
00:21:39.240
When we last left her, she wasn't working from home.
00:21:41.720
In fact, she was getting ready to go to the Hamptons
00:21:54.520
So, anyway, she's checked her email in that morning
00:22:05.040
She says she's very thankful for her Equinox amenities
00:22:13.360
I arrive at my boyfriend's apartment to meet up
00:23:42.500
My friend texts me and asks if I want to go on a run.
00:23:46.280
But the idea of trotting along Sag Harbor Road sounds fantastic.
00:23:53.420
And then at 9.30, they make it back to the house.
00:23:55.840
And she said, we're just in time to make some avocado toast
00:24:08.560
At 11.12, she's ready to go out on her friend's boat.
00:24:13.260
Her dad offers to take us out in the water in the afternoon.
00:24:17.260
I grew up boating, and I absolutely love the ocean.
00:24:20.840
Few of us bring the dinghy out so we can tube and drive it up the beach later.
00:24:27.500
We get a piece of salmon, some salad, and cauliflower salad.
00:24:39.280
But all the rosé is gone by the time we raft up.
00:24:42.680
3.56, after being anchored for a little over an hour, we come...
00:24:47.500
Theoretically, she should still be at work, right?
00:24:55.060
We come back to the marina, help clean up a little bit,
00:25:00.180
We have pool and chill time now in the afternoon.
00:25:03.420
I lay by the pool and tan until I can go upstairs
00:25:18.820
At 6.15, my friend's chef prepares vegan tacos, chicken tacos, and veggie salad.
00:25:38.160
She said the party cost her $20, and it was way overhyped and not so much fun.
00:25:46.240
They have an open bar, so the ticket is like a drink voucher.
00:25:49.340
But by 1.06, that's at 10.35, she says it's no fun.
00:25:58.280
$20 for open bar is a pretty good price, isn't it?
00:26:02.640
My friends are too drunk and won't leave, so I call Lyft.
00:26:08.920
A couple of girls get in, but they pretend that they didn't know that they had to pay,
00:26:16.600
Do you believe when other people have to take responsibility for your life costs?
00:26:20.780
I mean, that is something this person cannot relate to.
00:26:23.680
2.06, I'm definitely too drunk and finally in bed.
00:26:34.860
I guarantee you on Monday she's going to need an alarm to get up at 9.
00:26:39.120
7.12 a.m. she wakes up because this is America.
00:26:54.300
Now, she did ingest several hundred calories of alcohol fairly recently.
00:27:24.620
So, that would have been what, fifth meal of the day she was looking at?
00:27:29.300
So, now she is, and I quote, I hate having to do this, but I snoop in my own friend's
00:27:42.200
I find a carton of blueberries and yogurt in the fridge, and I think this will be enough
00:27:48.960
So, this is just an effort to get her back to bed.
00:27:51.300
But, at 8.03, she says, I'm wide awake, laying in bed, with a brewing stomach ache.
00:27:58.740
I don't think having yogurt was the right thing.
00:28:06.540
At 9.15, she's at the bagel shop because she realizes that she feels so nauseous that she
00:28:19.000
I got to say, a bagel shop seems like a good call for me.
00:28:21.780
Something bready, a breakfast sandwich would be something I would think about in that spot.
00:28:29.460
Yeah, cheese, dairy products would be very bad, you see, for an upset stomach.
00:28:36.780
I know that after a night of drinking, I go to a breakfast sandwich.
00:28:39.640
Yeah, well, if you're really sick to your stomach, you like dry toast, crackers.
00:29:09.100
She, uh, then runs to the toilet and, uh, and, uh, you know.
00:29:19.220
She says, I'm so thankful I got rid of all of that toxic crap in my system.
00:29:35.380
Uh, she says, now we're just laying by the pool and enjoying the day.
00:29:54.260
You eat yogurt, raw fish, and then you follow it up with, what was it?
00:29:58.760
Uh, she, she has, uh, the goat cheese and avocado.
00:30:03.700
This is a, this is the worst diet I've ever heard of.
00:30:06.280
And then she says, uh, she has a vegan gluten-free, what is this, uh, Froyo?
00:30:15.260
I am so, man, I am, I mean, you get me at a McDonald's and I can tell you what everything
00:30:22.000
Anyway, uh, sugar-free, she gets one that's a sugar-free with mixed berry flavor and
00:30:26.920
shaved coconuts and cocoa chips and candied walnuts.
00:30:36.540
I guess in the Hamptons, though, there's probably a shot of yogurt.
00:30:39.060
So most of the girls start to head out at 416 on Sunday.
00:30:42.240
They all have trains and buses to catch, but I'm driving back.
00:30:45.520
Uh, you know, we decide to leave, uh, later so we can enjoy a yummy dinner.
00:30:51.380
She then at 627 packs her bags and decides to take a shower, but she's quote, she's starving.
00:30:59.140
And so they decide to head back into town for some sushi, uh, dinner is delicious, yada,
00:31:10.560
She is back at her boyfriend in the city at 1156 PM Sunday night.
00:31:16.700
Uh, she said, I have a mini panic attack, you know, because she's just full of anxiety.
00:31:22.240
Um, she's glad, she's glad that she's able to see her therapist tomorrow because, uh, she's
00:31:37.500
Was the panic attack related to the avocado toast?
00:31:41.080
I'm not, I'm not really sure, but, uh, let me just leave you here on day five.
00:32:00.700
I'm thinking that, uh, maybe people don't understand what being poor and working hard is actually
00:32:11.920
I don't think she's qualified to ever use the word grueling.
00:32:18.240
Well, cause it's one thing to live that life, which is a life that a lot of people would
00:32:24.620
Like if you could have everyone cover all of your stuff and work basically not at all
00:32:28.660
and go to the Hamptons every weekend, that's not, that's a life a lot of people would choose.
00:32:34.880
Uh, but a little shallow, it definitely seems shallow, but again, not, I mean, I don't,
00:32:40.100
I think there's a lot of shallow people, uh, right.
00:32:43.100
And there's a lot of, there's a lot of everyone that's shallow.
00:32:46.440
Like you, everyone likes creature comforts, right.
00:32:50.400
So there's a lot, there's a lot there to like, but to, to write it down, to type it, uh, like
00:32:56.680
it's one thing to admit it to yourself when you have that down and you're in the middle
00:32:59.600
of writing it to a blog or an actual website, don't you in the middle of writing that stop
00:33:12.320
Isn't there a moment where you reconsider participating?
00:33:16.200
If you are living in that kind of world that is that shallow, she doesn't look like an idiot.
00:33:26.140
She works out, you know, she's got the boyfriend.
00:33:29.420
She's got the apartment in New York for $4,000 a month.
00:33:34.260
Uh, she, yeah, she goes to the Hamptons every weekend.
00:33:37.600
I mean, this is, this is unfortunately the life that many people in America dream about.
00:33:50.180
Look, if you're, you're, you know, you're working, uh, in some hard job where you're doing
00:33:56.600
physical labor, like that sounds pretty nice, right?
00:34:00.300
Yeah, but those are the, these are the people I guarantee you.
00:34:07.880
You know, she's also somebody who really cares deeply about the situation.
00:34:21.840
I can't make it in this city on my $25 an hour guaranteed.
00:34:29.460
Meanwhile, the people who are out there busting their butt and aren't living off of mommy and
00:34:39.060
Uh, they don't have time to, uh, to go to their therapist.
00:34:50.700
Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.
00:34:54.260
Asking your smartphone for the weather is one thing, but how about asking it to send money
00:35:00.180
Soon, you're going to be able to do that just by telling your smartphone to send, uh, you
00:35:06.280
know, send money to Stu, which that will never be said.
00:35:11.760
Uh, there'll be security concerns such as cyber criminals who have been able to hack
00:35:16.060
now into a ton of devices and could access this kind of transaction remotely and do exactly
00:35:22.800
There's a ton of threats in our connected world today, and it only takes one week link
00:35:29.880
And it's only getting more and more vulnerable as every passing day goes by.
00:35:34.340
That's why the new LifeLock identity theft protection adds the power of Norton security
00:35:39.300
to help protect you against the threats to your identity and to your devices that you
00:35:46.640
So if you have a problem, their agents are going to work to fix it.
00:35:49.580
Now, nobody can stop all cyber threats, prevent all identity theft, or monitor all
00:35:54.500
But the new LifeLock with Norton security is able to uncover the threats you might otherwise
00:35:59.920
So go to LifeLock.com or call 1-800-LIFELOCK and use the promo code BECK.

00:36:20.000
Millennials between the ages of 18 and 37 now say that the perfect time to retire is 61.
00:36:38.320
Unfortunately, they don't have anything saved or very, very, very little saved for that retirement.
00:36:57.140
Do you remember when ESPN actually used to just cover sports?
00:37:04.960
I mean, it's kind of like it was the MTV of sports in a way when MTV actually played music
00:37:13.560
and then MTV stopped playing music and I don't know what it became, but it's not.
00:37:35.280
So one of the people that has been very controversial is Jemele Hill.
00:37:44.240
Large reason for the nonstop politicalization of the network and sports on the whole.
00:37:51.900
Hill gained attention last year on September 11th, calling Trump a white supremacist, a
00:37:57.440
bigot, and the most ignorant, offensive president of her lifetime.
00:38:04.360
That goes a little farther than anything that anybody else said about Barack Obama, doesn't
00:38:14.940
Following the tweet, Al Sharpton threatened to boycott ESPN if they fired her for her
00:38:25.500
Less than a month later, she called companies who advertise with the Dallas Cowboys to boycott
00:38:34.020
Bob Iger, CEO of Disney, ESPN's parent company, hinted that he didn't fire her because of her
00:38:39.860
race, saying it's difficult for him to understand what it feels like to experience racism.
00:38:44.420
Now, in a recent interview with Al Sharpton, she described Trump's stance on kneelers as,
00:38:50.900
quote, racial pornography, just to stroke his bias.
00:38:56.540
Now, most outlets ignored the comments, choosing instead to highlight the statements that she
00:39:03.120
said regarding her departure, even lauding her for her role in strengthening stories that
00:39:09.460
involve the intersection of sports, race, and politics.
00:39:13.260
Okay, I think a big newspaper in New York is going out of business.
00:39:29.140
When you are struggling as a industry, you have to ask yourself, why?
00:39:39.480
Now, they'll blame that on all kinds of things, but they never blame it on nobody wants to
00:39:48.240
But here we have Hill and ESPN being lauded for strengthening stories that involve the
00:40:01.500
And yet, I've never heard a single person in my life say, you know what I wish I had
00:40:09.340
Yeah, racial politics in particular is the flavor that I would like added to my sports.
00:40:14.580
So, she left her position at ESPN, 6 o'clock for SportsCenter, for a position at the Sport
00:40:20.720
Network's social justice-oriented website, The Undefeated.
00:40:25.460
Now, if I could just get some social justice with my sports, now I'm really set.
00:40:31.340
The Undefeated is a natural home for me, she wrote, given that it's a site about the
00:40:35.760
intersection between sports, African Americans, race, culture.
00:40:38.860
It mixes all of those things that I think are even more vital now to discuss.
00:40:43.000
And I wanted to do it on a platform that was deeply aligned with who I am as a person.
00:41:05.080
Obviously, some of the things that have happened to me in the last 10 or 11 months have played
00:41:08.920
But even before any of that stuff happened with Donald Trump, I was feeling, I just wondered
00:41:14.240
to myself, when my contract with ESPN was up in a few years, whether or not I would continue
00:41:24.060
There's still a real need about stories of women of color.
00:41:28.300
And that is going to be the huge focus of what I do.
00:41:31.020
Now, here's a little bit of her political insight that she shared.
00:41:35.840
To go one step further, we've already got a president who came from a non-political background,
00:41:43.960
Do you think we could get to the point where we have definitely political candidates, congressmen
00:41:49.800
in the Senate who come from a sports background, whether it be sports journalism or sports itself?
00:41:56.820
And in fact, now, if I had to pick the athlete, although he's not just an athlete, he's probably
00:42:02.840
one of the biggest entertainers in the world, that I could see being the president in the
00:42:13.740
I could definitely see that happening because he has a lot of elements that bring a lot
00:42:25.880
He represents those who kind of have that pull yourself up by the bootstraps mentality.
00:42:33.040
He obviously has an ethnic background being Samoan.
00:42:40.760
You know, I mean, I was like, nobody hates The Rock.
00:42:44.640
The Rock probably while we're up here talking, probably starred in seven movies like nobody
00:42:51.160
I guarantee you, if The Rock turns out to be conservative, lots of people will begin
00:42:56.860
to hate The Rock and it'll be led by voices like yours.
00:43:14.840
I went to a mall a couple weeks ago with my wife.
00:43:17.680
I haven't been to a mall in a long time and boy, it has changed.
00:43:23.040
And this is one of the nicer malls here in Texas.
00:43:25.200
And things are going well in Texas, but all these stores were just closed.
00:43:31.720
I read an article that Barney's, Saks Fifth Avenue across from Rockefeller Center, Saks Fifth
00:43:40.280
This is the, you know, the original Gimbal's store from, you know, Miracle on 34th Street.
00:43:50.080
They're talking now about selling it, tearing it down and making it into office space.
00:43:56.020
These all of these big, huge department stores.
00:44:02.980
What is what is the plan for these giant malls that are sitting empty all across the country?
00:44:20.820
He is a young guy who is a city planner and a guy who is a libertarian.
00:44:29.400
And he just received last week the Young Voices Award at Freedom Fest in Las Vegas.
00:44:35.900
It's a new award from Reason Magazine that goes to libertarian policy writers who who work
00:44:41.440
actively to to translate ideas into actual results that are free market ideas.
00:44:55.040
So, first of all, congratulations on the award.
00:44:58.780
Now, you are a city planner, which a libertarian city planner is almost an oxymoron, isn't it?
00:45:11.980
Well, yeah, I went into the admissions office and I told them, find me the most libertarian
00:45:21.980
Um, it's something that has a huge impact on the places that we live.
00:45:26.780
Uh, it's an area of policy that, you know, for obvious reasons has mostly been neglected
00:45:31.320
by people who care about, uh, freedom and liberty.
00:45:34.700
Um, and so it just seemed like a place to have a really big impact.
00:45:37.640
So how, what is your, what is your opinion of Houston?
00:45:40.200
Houston is the only city in America that's left without, uh, city planners, I believe.
00:45:46.300
Uh, or at least it used to be, uh, and it seems to be doing fine.
00:45:56.620
They're the only major U.S. city to not have zoning, uh, which is where cities break up,
00:46:01.460
uh, parts of the city into different districts for certain uses or certain densities.
00:46:07.700
They're actually the only city that voted on zoning.
00:46:12.120
Every other city sort of quietly adopted it through administrative means.
00:46:16.560
Um, and is it, is it, is it failing in any way?
00:46:20.560
Well, if you look at the population growth numbers, I mean, revealed preferences, right?
00:46:32.460
I mean, like any city, it has its challenges, right?
00:46:36.220
Um, but you know, I mean, relative to cities that are much more heavily planned, it's not
00:46:40.740
entirely obvious what Houston is missing in a lot of respects.
00:46:44.920
So, uh, so what is the, what is the, what is the city of tomorrow, uh, look like, especially
00:46:52.700
And, uh, do you, do you agree that, you know, Saks Fifth Avenue and Macy's and Lord and Taylor,
00:46:58.480
I think just went out of New York city, but you know, uh, you know, you, you, you have
00:47:03.560
huge, uh, traditions and swaths of property that are these giant department stores.
00:47:12.980
Um, yeah, well, we're talking about hundreds of acres of urban land in many cases and prime,
00:47:21.980
Um, so all sorts of different things are really happening with it.
00:47:24.880
Uh, my hometown, uh, of malls set empty for about a decade and then turned into a mega
00:47:30.880
Um, in a lot of cases they're being redeveloped as office space, um, you know, more housing,
00:47:37.300
so new apartments or new little single family homes.
00:47:43.600
Um, and they've sort of locked in this mall zoning where the only thing that really can
00:47:53.440
It's not entirely clear what can happen and the policy status quo.
00:47:57.120
So if I'm not mistaken, you would know better than I do, but I believe the first mall in
00:48:04.940
Um, and it was in the fifties or sixties and mainly because it's fricking.
00:48:10.380
It was freezing in Rochester, uh, and nobody wanted to go, you know, down the streets.
00:48:17.540
What happens to those, uh, cities where I'm not walking down the street in Phoenix, Arizona,
00:48:24.240
uh, in the summer, and I'm not walking down the street, uh, you know, in, uh, uh, in
00:48:34.400
Do, do, do, do, like malls of America, do they play a role because of the weather?
00:48:41.280
I, you know, I always heard that they'd kind of gotten their start in, uh, Minnesota.
00:48:45.160
So I think that's probably a pretty similar story.
00:48:47.340
Nobody wants to walk around six months in Minnesota.
00:48:52.180
You know, I, I think there's always going to be some malls.
00:48:56.940
I think that most of the midsize and smaller malls are probably going to disappear.
00:49:01.500
You're really only going to have the huge ones where, um, you know, like the malls of
00:49:07.800
Um, but they, they're almost tourist destinations, right?
00:49:10.940
You know, like I remember when I was a kid growing up in Kentucky, people would come to
00:49:15.200
the local midsize city and go to the midsize mall.
00:49:20.060
Those people are just going to go, uh, you know, one state over to a mega mall in a place
00:49:29.520
I mean, what are you going to do in a place like Phoenix?
00:49:31.600
I think probably most of the retail corridors are going to retool around what's called experiential,
00:49:38.140
So they've got to be experiences that you can't get through Amazon.
00:49:41.700
If I want to buy anything for the lowest price, I'm just going to do it on Amazon now.
00:49:49.940
It might be like a spa or like a bar with a lot of different options for beers, uh,
00:49:55.980
where it might be maybe if you're buying a custom or personalized item.
00:50:02.040
Uh, so, you know, this could be, for example, apparel stores that are much more concerned
00:50:07.900
with helping you find maybe specific clothes or specific sizes, um, that you really need
00:50:15.200
Um, and so you can kind of see, you know, a lot of the big box stores are sort of scrambling
00:50:20.660
to, uh, go in this direction where they're trying to have more customer service.
00:50:25.760
You know, you know, and traditionally they've understood that you walk into, well, I was
00:50:29.540
going to say HH Craig, but they, they already disappeared.
00:50:33.680
And like four people rush over to try to help you.
00:50:40.120
In here in, in Texas, there are these little towns that are sprouting up.
00:50:44.360
They're just like main street and they have urban housing and apartments and restaurants
00:50:54.580
When I was growing up before the malls hit is our millennials starting to go back into
00:51:03.080
I think one of the new sort of things you're seeing is called lifestyle centers, uh, where
00:51:10.040
And the original vision for the mall was not just retail.
00:51:12.640
The original vision for the mall was, we're going to have community spaces, maybe churches.
00:51:20.200
Um, this is going to be a place where people live and they work and then they, they come
00:51:26.220
But in practice, what the mall became was much more just exclusively retail, uh, maybe
00:51:31.980
And so I think probably what you're going to see is a return to that, where you have these
00:51:34.920
sort of, uh, retail centers that are trying to mimic the traditional main street.
00:51:39.620
Maybe, you know, professional offices, uh, some retail, some apartment, things of that
00:51:46.840
Uh, Nolan, it's, um, great to talk to you and, uh, we need more libertarians, uh, in
00:51:52.560
all walks of life, but certainly with city planning, uh, that can help us, uh, remain free and,
00:51:58.340
uh, and, uh, and, and, and, and tamp down some of the, um, insane ideas and regulations from,
00:52:12.200
You can follow him at, uh, M Nolan gray, uh, dot, dot com.
00:52:26.500
I was just looking at, um, I was just looking at the, the, uh, the numbers of things that
00:52:32.680
are happening where we are, Russia just last week, just dumped, uh, what is it?
00:52:38.380
$85 billion of treasuries over the last, uh, over the last, uh, two months.
00:52:45.540
They have, they have gotten rid of almost all of the U S treasuries.
00:52:52.500
If that happens, we're in trouble and, uh, the value of our, uh, of our debt goes away.
00:52:58.520
And that means we're going to be paying higher interest rates on our debt as a, as a country.
00:53:08.000
So gold line has gone to the Royal Canadian mint and they've made something called the
00:53:13.660
Now, this is an idea that I had a few years ago and they made them in gold, but gold,
00:53:17.620
if, you know, if crap hits the fan, gold is going to be worth way too much.
00:53:22.380
So this is a way for you to get in at an inexpensive price and it would actually be day to day.
00:53:28.260
It makes up two ounces of silver and the design makes it possible for you to take and break
00:53:37.780
Um, you break up the silver into pieces and, uh, then you can spend it.
00:53:44.940
So like this is a, uh, there's 10 of these, uh, one 20th ounce bars.
00:53:52.160
And then there are four quarter ounce bars, fully silver, each bar guaranteed legal tender
00:53:58.280
weight, purity, everything by the Royal Canadian mint.
00:54:01.940
They're all marked for that 19 legal tender coins.
00:54:05.880
You can only get these at gold line maple flex.
00:54:09.640
You can put them in your, um, uh, your, uh, IRA, uh, your precious metals, IRA.
00:54:14.720
You can, you can buy them, uh, at, at gold line, same price for credit card check or bank
00:54:20.540
wire qualifying orders can take advantage of gold lines price shield program.
00:54:32.960
Make sure buying gold or silver is right for you.
00:54:34.700
It's one eight, six, six gold line or gold line.com.
00:54:46.240
Um, Australia, uh, some people are saying now, uh, does not exist.
00:54:57.240
It's going to, how long do we have until Australia goes away?
00:55:18.320
He is anyone who claims they're from Australia.
00:55:22.460
Uh, and I think you're going to be pretty wowed by the facts, uh, of this story, but it
00:55:27.960
was a, it was a government, uh, conspiracy to cover up the mass genocide.
00:55:40.180
They know, no, all those people that were said going to prison.
00:55:46.880
So they're all, they, they, I mean, I guess that theoretically you think that there's really,
00:55:51.200
how come you can't find the kangaroo any place, but Australia, come on, they have them
00:56:03.840
I'm, cause I, I guess you could say, okay, the, they were a bad empire.
00:56:08.540
They murdered all these people and didn't actually send it to the call.
00:56:10.820
I guess you could theoretically argue that it's not true, but you can theoretically argue
00:56:17.220
Uh, no, uh, they are, um, uh, that's actually a computer, um, algorithm.
00:56:24.740
It's a computer, a computer algorithm has, what about the people that live there and have
00:56:32.600
I've met people that have, I've never been myself, but any of the pictures, any of the
00:56:37.840
I, you know, let me just give you the story when we come back.
00:56:41.280
Because when you hear the full story, I think you'll see the, um, uh, the, uh, method to
00:56:47.620
the, well, the madness, you'll see the madness when we come back.
00:57:00.420
Uh, Stu just said to me something that is so disturbing because I completely relate.
00:57:06.320
He's, he's like, I hope, uh, Tika Twari is right about Bitcoin, uh, which we'll get into
00:57:12.560
He said, cause you know, I, I just, I, I just, I don't, I don't want to get up in the morning.
00:57:16.420
And I said, and he's like, I don't want to even move.
00:57:21.400
I'm, I'm at the point to where, I just want to keep my front door unlocked and then order
00:57:26.520
things and have people bring them up to my bedroom and they can just put them on the
00:57:32.060
And, and you know, I mean, that's, that's about it.
00:57:35.000
And I was going to say, your wife would be the, your wife would be that enabler, you
00:57:39.160
know, cause you would end up on the 800, my 800 pound husband.
00:57:43.100
800 is underselling what I would do with Bitcoin.
00:57:48.520
You're going to see a, well, who's the, the Goodyear blip.
00:57:58.820
Uh, anyway, uh, so we'll get into that here in just a second.
00:58:02.460
And what's happening with a cryptocurrency, uh, in just a minute.
00:58:05.780
Uh, but first I want to give you the story about, uh, you know, a new theory.
00:58:10.340
Now this started at the flat earth society forum, uh, but it's not just flat earthers.
00:58:16.460
And I want to talk to somebody who is, I wanted to talk to somebody who believes this.
00:58:20.860
Um, uh, if you believe in Australia, you're sadly mistaken because it doesn't exist.
00:58:30.560
Everything you have ever heard about it was made up.
00:58:33.620
Any pictures of it you've seen faked by the government.
00:58:37.640
If you've talked to people on the internet to claim to be from Australia, they're actually
00:58:42.220
government agents who are surfing the internet to enforce these false beliefs that Australia
00:58:49.740
Do you know if we lost technology and we lost civilization, do you know how fast people
00:59:02.560
They were making all of that up to cover up for crimes.
00:59:07.400
Do you know anybody who was there in one generation?
00:59:12.100
I mean, we are back to this people living there.
00:59:19.900
You trapped me into believing that there were people in Australia because there is a, yes,
00:59:26.320
I'm just saying for the people like over here, people, any place where you're, you're, you
00:59:33.620
Imagine how, um, look at, look at what we think about, uh, medicine now and how it's killing
00:59:40.140
us and how capitalism is killing us and, and airplanes are evil because of what they did
00:59:47.920
Imagine, imagine that kind of philosophy, this nihilistic postmodernism.
00:59:54.560
If it took over, you wouldn't be able to restore civilization for a while.
00:59:59.800
And by the time you got back, what would be lost would be incredible.
01:00:09.340
People will believe anything these days, you know, so when people take off and they go
01:00:16.820
on a vacation to Australia, where are they flying them?
01:00:22.000
They're flying them to another area and they're just calling it Australia.
01:00:27.880
So Australians, Australians, uh, are all actors or computer generated personas.
01:00:38.340
This is according to the, the lead, you know, quote, scientist on this.
01:00:44.040
It's a hoax made for us to believe that Britain moved their criminals to someplace.
01:00:49.000
In reality, all of these criminals were loaded off of the ships into the water drowning before
01:00:56.100
And it's a coverup for one of the greatest crimes of mass murder in history, uh, made by
01:01:02.980
one of the most prominent empires, England, but people in that era did all sorts of really
01:01:12.140
They created it for, for criminals, not even innocent people.
01:01:22.360
So now they're just covering too deep into it and the Western world is going on.
01:01:27.740
No, you think you have, I think, you know what?
01:01:41.260
All the things that you can call proof are well-fabricated lies and documents made by
01:01:48.800
Your Australian friends, they are computer generated.
01:01:57.440
And when you say, I want to go to Melbourne, they don't fly you to Melbourne, Australia,
01:02:03.740
They fly you to islands that are very nearby, or in some cases, parts of South America, where
01:02:12.700
they have cleared a space where everybody pretends to be Australian.
01:02:19.400
So we don't know where, but we do know, you know, continental wise, we do know that it's
01:02:32.040
I, I, I will tell you, I will parts of the fake Australia.
01:02:34.860
I've seen parts of the fake Australia where you're like, wait a minute, this isn't Australia.
01:02:41.400
If you've been to an outback steakhouse, that was, that's an Australian embassy, right?
01:02:49.000
Uh, Australia, one of the biggest hoaxes ever created.
01:02:54.740
I mean, if you've created a continent, I think it would be.
01:03:01.680
I mean, I guess the moon landing though, is the moon real or did we just not go to it?
01:03:08.500
Is, does, is the moon real or did we just, or do we just fake our landing on it?
01:03:14.480
Like, is the moon a real thing that we faked our landing on or is the moon fake?
01:03:26.020
You know, you know, you've never seen the dark side of the moon.
01:03:32.760
Sarah, do we have the MSNBC where they have the theory about Donald Trump?
01:03:38.140
Now, remember, this is, these are not conspiracy theorists.
01:03:43.940
So, um, you know, that CNN, you know, MSNBC and CNN, all these guys, they, they hate conspiracy.
01:03:52.360
So while you were on vacation, an article in the New York magazine came out, uh, and it
01:04:01.400
Uh, and it said, you know, this is probably not true, but if it were, it would be a very
01:04:20.940
So, um, they came out with the theory that, uh, Donald Trump is actually a Russian spy
01:04:27.440
that went over in, uh, 1987 for the very first time and, uh, met with the Soviets and they,
01:04:35.500
they made him an operative and, uh, and a sleeper.
01:04:40.500
And then he came back and you'll notice around the eighties is when he started becoming famous.
01:04:58.340
And you, and they were critical of your theories.
01:05:04.960
Or that Barack Obama was, uh, a democratic socialist.
01:05:09.740
You remember when that was an insult to the left?
01:05:12.700
So, um, that was, uh, that was insulting and a conspiracy theory, but this is not.
01:05:19.180
Now we delved a little further into it last week and it brings me to the moon, the moon,
01:05:32.120
Um, when did you first start hearing about Donald Trump?
01:05:42.940
Um, you'll notice that you really don't hear about Donald Trump at all, at all.
01:05:55.960
Now, this probably isn't true, but think of the impact if it works.
01:06:06.900
There are some that believe that Donald Trump is a space baby, that he is from the dark side
01:06:14.320
And he was out, you know, out and about on the moon.
01:06:17.340
And Neil Armstrong was like, what is this baby doing here?
01:06:25.740
Um, and have you heard the audio where they said, what's this baby doing here?
01:06:32.120
They've, they've taken that out and a doctor to all the images.
01:06:35.120
And, uh, so then, uh, but so Neil Armstrong, what do you think he's saying?
01:06:46.560
He's not taking a little teeny, those are baby steps.
01:06:53.100
And this baby is from a, a master race on the other side of the moon, the dark side,
01:06:59.760
which if you look into it, it's completely dark.
01:07:06.420
If you look into the barrel of a cannon, don't you think it looks pretty much the same?
01:07:13.460
Well, yeah, but wow, it was because when this moon, again, probably not going to happen,
01:07:18.640
but if it did high impact, when the moon turns around at the space baby's command,
01:07:25.340
we're actually looking into a giant barrel of a giant space cannon.
01:07:30.100
And the moon is, is going to be shot out of that cannon at the earth.
01:07:37.880
Now you think this is crazy, but answer me this, riddle me this, Batman.
01:07:43.460
How, how come, uh, Donald Trump is the first one to be talking about a space force.
01:08:00.620
This is what happens when you talk to people who still believe in Australia.
01:08:08.180
Last Thursday night, cryptocurrency expert Tika Tuari revealed the details on why he believes Bitcoin
01:08:14.160
is going to be at $40,000 by the end of the year.
01:08:24.180
Please let that happen so I can sit on my bed and order things.
01:08:29.400
Now, uh, last week before he got here, it was, uh, 60, 100, I think.
01:08:39.620
I mean, anyone who watched that conference, uh, with you last week, if they invested that
01:08:55.020
If this guy calls this, I mean, if he even gets close, if it's 30,000.
01:09:02.220
So anyway, uh, whether you believe in Bitcoin and the technology behind it or not, I urge
01:09:08.440
you to take a few minutes to review what Tika has to say at midnight Wednesday night, the
01:09:14.720
best deal he, uh, he will offer on his Palm beach confidential service will expire.
01:09:23.460
It's an extraordinary opportunity to see the gains that he has helped others achieve.
01:09:29.400
I met the people who have been following him for the last two years, uh, or longer.
01:09:34.340
And, uh, these people, like one woman said, you know, my husband, he's disabled.
01:09:41.680
I was had another, we were barely making ends meet.
01:09:44.380
I decided to, uh, invest my money the way Tika was.
01:09:48.320
And she said, I don't have any concern about money anymore.
01:09:55.320
Anyway, watch the replay, uh, for free through midnight Pacific tomorrow.
01:10:17.520
if you ask yourself, why is Elon Musk in so much trouble?
01:10:26.440
I had a big debate over last week about whether he was a good guy or a bad guy in this mining
01:10:35.780
And it's like, everyone's saying that he's like this terrible guy and he's taking, he's
01:10:40.240
taking advantage of publicity and he didn't do anything to help.
01:10:43.440
And I'm going to tell, I'm going to, I'm going to give you the reason.
01:10:45.840
I think I'm going to have to push it till tomorrow.
01:10:47.400
I'm going to give you the reason why all that is happening.
01:10:49.440
I'm going to lay out a pretty good case for you.
01:10:55.060
Um, also, uh, we have another conspiracy theory.
01:11:00.040
This one is Rachel Maddow's, uh, conspiracy theory.
01:11:03.600
Listen to this, the way that he, um, responded to Putin when we saw him face to face.
01:11:09.200
And then the fact that he took under consideration, all of these demands from Russia, including
01:11:14.120
handing over Americans to Russia for interrogation.
01:11:16.860
Um, that just, you know, the, it makes the worst case scenario really palpable.
01:11:21.020
The worst case scenario that the president is a foreign agent, uh, suddenly feels very
01:11:25.600
You know, the more that I talk to intelligence professionals and people who have brought
01:11:29.500
espionage cases and all this kind of stuff, people who've really dealt with these
01:11:32.940
spy movie scenarios in real life, the more you hear that the sort of the behavior of
01:11:38.820
a compromised person, person who is effectively coerced because of something that a foreign
01:11:44.940
leader, a foreign government, foreign intelligence service has over them, um, the more subtle
01:11:53.900
It may not be, we've got this thing about you that we're going to expose unless you do
01:12:08.520
I said the president was hanging out with Marxists, that he had hired a communist in the
01:12:13.300
White House, that he had all kinds of connections to democratic socialists.
01:12:22.760
That was the biggest conspiracy theory and, and evil you could possibly have said they
01:12:31.780
wouldn't look into Jeremiah Wright or anything else.
01:12:37.600
Now, some were Donald Trump was, you know, with the, where's, where's the birth certificate?
01:12:46.680
So Alex Jones, Alex Jones was saying that kind of stuff.
01:13:01.820
It's, it's, again, it goes back to why is the, why are the media centers crumbling?
01:13:17.720
They're playing to a smaller and smaller fraction of America.
01:13:29.700
You've, you're doing things far worse than you've ever blamed me for.
01:13:42.180
Yesterday, the New York Daily News announced it's laying off 50% of its editorial staff.
01:13:49.260
Tronk, a company that owns the Daily News, says it's fundamentally restructuring the newspaper,
01:13:57.220
Daily News reportedly lost $90 million over the last three years.
01:14:02.100
Like all other companies and all other newspapers around the country,
01:14:06.140
it is having to refocus its resources on digital media to be able to survive.
01:14:11.360
Now, knowing that this is the harsh reality of the media business,
01:14:14.840
why did Governor Andrew Cuomo release this strange statement yesterday, shortly after the Daily News layoffs were announced?
01:14:22.840
It reads, in part, these layoffs were made without notifying the state or asking for assistance.
01:14:29.640
I urge Tronk to reconsider this drastic move and stand ready to work with them to avert this disaster.
01:14:40.860
I understand that large corporations often only see profit and dividends as the bottom line.
01:14:47.760
We're not concerned about profit at this point.
01:14:50.040
They're concerned about losing, losing $90 million or $30 million a year.
01:14:57.080
Anyway, but in New York, we also calculate loss of an important institution, loss of jobs, and the impact on families effective.
01:15:04.020
I hope Tronk does the same and recalculates its decision.
01:15:11.300
Wait, New York, new frickin' York, can afford an additional $30 million to bail them out, to have them break even?
01:15:28.860
Wow, if I could only get the state to help fund the newsroom.
01:15:39.100
Could he be thinking about a plan like New Jersey's legislature passed last month?
01:15:48.940
This established a non-profit organization with the main purpose of supporting your local news.
01:15:56.220
New Jersey funded it with $5 million in taxpayer money.
01:16:00.040
And the non-profit will operate in conjunction with five different public universities in New Jersey.
01:16:05.000
Oh my gosh, so we have the government and the universities helping tell us, the average working people,
01:16:13.020
the schlubs of America that never really seem to get it, exactly what's going on.
01:16:19.380
A government-funded news organization to be coordinated by select public universities.
01:16:25.540
This is the ultimate progressive utopian dream.
01:16:30.820
This would actually be hilarious if it wasn't so terrifying.
01:16:44.840
But as their neighbors in New Jersey are about to find out,
01:16:48.000
a government-funded press will certainly not be robust and definitely no longer free.
01:17:08.420
Hey, welcome to, if you're in the Dallas or Texas area,
01:17:22.680
And yeah, Phoenix is, you know, there's nothing like 117.
01:17:28.220
But you know, the nice thing about Texas is it gets really, really super hot and humid.
01:17:40.560
It's like 30% humidity, which is, you know, not 0%.
01:17:46.300
But it's a heck of a lot better than, I'd much rather have this.
01:17:49.180
Then remember, we went to, I think it was Charleston a few years ago.
01:17:57.240
It was, you know, from one of those tragic events.
01:17:59.120
And we were walking around town and we were meeting people.
01:18:02.120
And we, I mean, it was, it was really an incredible city.
01:18:07.860
The weather, I don't know how anyone dealt with it.
01:18:12.080
We walked around and I had to go do, you know, do a public event.
01:18:19.520
We walked around and we want to see what was going on.
01:18:21.820
I had to stop at a store and buy a shirt because mine was sopping wet.
01:18:26.400
I mean, you'd be outside for a minute and just dripping in sweat.
01:18:32.840
I like took a, I stole a hand towel from the hotel and I just brought it with me for the walk.
01:18:39.420
I would, I mean, I'd rather have this than that.
01:19:04.520
Now the rest of the country apparently is not suffering from this heat wave.
01:19:09.120
Now there's certain areas from, I read somewhere that's something like three quarters of the
01:19:13.400
country is actually left the summer heat early this year.
01:19:22.560
But you know, the amazing thing is I read a story because California, Arizona is having
01:19:32.920
Now California is, uh, is a little different than Texas.
01:19:37.560
And I would like to speak directly to those people who moved to Texas from California.
01:19:54.040
Well, you might say, well, I kind of, I didn't want to necessarily live in Texas, but my job
01:20:04.260
How come your job didn't leave you in California?
01:20:08.860
Is it maybe perhaps, I don't know, because of regulation and taxes that you can't create
01:20:16.960
Why is it that Texas is creating 50% of all jobs for the nation?
01:20:40.160
It's almost like living in America, not California.
01:20:43.740
Now, here's why I bring this up connected to the heat, California having a power grid, uh,
01:20:53.960
So the California grid operator Monday issued an alert to homes and businesses that they need
01:21:04.640
Uh, and they're on now what's called a flex alert due to the high temperatures.
01:21:15.200
Well, can customers are, are asked now to reduce natural gas.
01:21:19.720
If you use natural gas, um, you're supposed to, uh, you're supposed to turn off the lights,
01:21:25.440
you know, at night, you don't need them during the day, but if you just keep them also off
01:21:33.060
So use natural light during the day and then no light at night.
01:21:41.940
It'll be like, it'll be like living in the prairie in the 1800s.
01:21:47.180
It is so great when, when there's no electricity, it's fun.
01:21:55.620
Now you have to ask yourself, California, why don't you have any, any electricity?
01:22:08.080
We cannot keep up with the building of businesses and houses almost literally here in Texas.
01:22:18.140
And yet we're not having a problem with our power grid.
01:22:24.940
Because our power grid is free and unencumbered.
01:22:31.080
We haven't made all kinds of laws and restrictions.
01:22:38.040
We have plenty of wires going to everybody's houses.
01:22:41.920
We have plenty of power plants that are making plenty of energy.
01:22:48.540
Now you could say, well, that does have a downside.
01:22:52.900
I'm thinking, I'm thinking, what could that downside be?
01:22:58.880
So in other words, the more kilowatts that are used, the higher the demand, the higher the price.
01:23:10.760
However, the price of electricity and for anybody who is a big user of electricity in Texas, you can go in and pretty much tell the power companies.
01:23:25.020
Because energy is so plentiful here that you can pretty much get it everywhere.
01:23:31.360
It's kind of like, I'm sure, Marty, plutonium is easy to find in 1985.
01:23:41.900
I mean, there's so many options and so many different places to go.
01:23:46.600
So California, you refuse to make your own energy.
01:24:04.980
No, you'll just build huge cables on the other side of your border and you'll have somebody else burn all the coal so you can feel good about yourself while condemning coal plants.
01:24:36.760
You have a drought because you won't build any reservoirs.
01:24:45.100
Yeah, you mean all the rainwater that should be held that could generate clean electricity could also be used to to plant and water crops so you have food.
01:24:57.540
But instead, you just let it run right out into the ocean, but instead, you just let it run right out into the ocean.
01:25:08.320
But they have a handy tip that fans are good to circulate air.
01:25:21.060
I didn't know what a fan was until they explained it to me like that.
01:25:26.040
Do you have a monkey on a bicycle that's running that fan?
01:25:30.740
That is what most people in California, I guess they buy them at the zoo and they bring them home.
01:25:43.260
You're a parent of a monkey because monkeys are people, too.
01:25:49.640
So I don't know how you power that fan of yours, but apparently fans and the other safety tip.
01:25:55.680
And I think this is good is the beach is a great way to get away from the heat.
01:26:17.260
They should just live right there by the ocean.
01:26:19.740
There's got to be little towns along the ocean front.
01:26:23.840
Well, global warming is coming, so people have all moved away from the water.
01:26:33.300
No one wants to live near the water anymore because they know those global warming.
01:26:38.360
It goes back to, I think it was Inconvenient Book.
01:26:40.740
And there's a picture of a map of Florida and where all the projected global warming floods are going to occur.
01:26:49.360
And then a little helpful guide of all the celebrities' homes that they've bought in those zones.
01:26:55.980
People who are saying global warming is this huge threat but then keep buying homes in the flood zones they say are coming.
01:27:03.000
If you really believe the flood zones are right around the corner, why on earth would you buy?
01:27:10.920
Back when I was growing up, we were afraid of the Russians.
01:27:18.940
So we were afraid of the Russians and we were afraid 12 minutes, 12 to 18 minutes and you were dead.
01:27:25.260
And so I remember we were talking about where do you want to be?
01:27:28.760
I mean, do you want to be in a fallout shelter or do you want to be at ground zero?
01:27:32.160
You want to be vaporized so you don't have to live through it?
01:27:37.860
When it comes, I'm going to be the first online.
01:27:41.540
I'm going to be wiped out by the evil that is because because the earth is going to be so bad that I just don't want to live through it.
01:27:50.100
Wouldn't you instead buy the inland property that will soon be on the coastline?
01:27:58.680
No, because you could predict it of the future to the exact centimeter.
01:28:05.140
So why not just purchase beautiful waterfront properties?
01:28:18.400
There's this beautiful beach property right there in Omaha.
01:28:35.140
Um, their alarm system is, I mean, I put their alarm system in, um, the house five years ago.
01:28:47.920
I mean, when, when we put it in five years ago, it was state of the art state of the art.
01:29:01.020
Um, the SimpliSafe, they've run over 10,000 live glass break simulations.
01:29:08.620
This is the kind of thing they do on absolutely every piece of the product.
01:29:16.900
Most of the glass break technology, they can't tell the difference between a, you know, a glass breaking in your kitchen or somebody breaking glass in a door.
01:29:24.960
It can't tell the difference between a broken plate and a broken window.
01:29:28.560
And sometimes they can't even tell the difference between a baby crying.
01:29:34.720
So 10,000 simulations until they could dial it in just right.
01:29:42.260
SimpliSafe, a system designed that you won't even notice it, but it will notice all the things that are going wrong and call police or fire 24 seven.
01:29:53.900
It's the best around the clock protection that you can find.
01:30:03.020
But when you see the price of the actual system, you're going to feel so.
01:30:07.580
The alarm system you have in your house, you have paid for at least 25 times.
01:30:30.720
The News and Why It Matters, which is a great show that we do on The Blaze every day at 530 Eastern Time.
01:30:42.300
Just go to iTunes or wherever you get your podcast.
01:30:51.540
And sometimes Doc Thompson, he's usually there.
01:31:10.400
You might think we're doing shots in the commercials.
01:31:21.560
And you can find that wherever you listen to your podcast.
01:31:30.920
I mean, assuming you're going to give us a good rating.
01:31:34.260
That actually helps every time, especially if you listen to the Glenn Beck podcast or
01:31:38.440
the News and Why It Matters, when you subscribe and rate it, it helps it move up to be discovered
01:31:46.480
And that's really what we are looking for is make sure that we're up towards the top so
01:31:51.800
it can be discovered by other people who are just looking for the news.
01:31:58.900
That would be something that people could listen to if they maybe caught part of it on
01:32:01.700
the way in and they want to hear the rest of the show.
01:32:14.220
No, I was hoping you'd say it was free so that everyone could enjoy it.
01:32:16.300
Well, it is, but not for the device that you have.
01:32:21.800
Everybody else can watch it free on their device or listen to it.
01:32:25.620
The podcast, again, on iTunes, the Glenn Beck show, the Glenn Beck radio program, and
01:32:35.680
So there's a new Austrian politician that wants to make Jews register to buy kosher meat.
01:32:45.160
I don't see why any in that region of the world, why anyone would fear a bad consequence
01:32:54.300
And the Jews are slaughtering too many animals.
01:32:59.200
So I just want a list of all of the Jews in the area so they can be licensed to go ahead
01:33:09.160
As far as I understand, anytime you give an Austrian a list of Jews, it's a good idea.
01:33:16.580
When an Austrian says, hey, can we make a list?
01:33:37.160
Donald Trump could be on tape going, yeah, you got that hooker for me?
01:33:41.760
And you're going to pay her off so she doesn't talk, right?
01:33:48.220
Well, I mean, nobody made that point better than Donald Trump himself.
01:33:51.260
He said he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue in broad daylight
01:34:00.720
There's nobody that, I'm sorry, but this, you know, Pastor Jeffers
01:34:09.880
He took down Ronald Reagan to try to prop up Donald Trump.
01:34:20.280
We, we, he was people like you that said, we don't have to, we're not electing a Pope.
01:34:33.200
So now he's apparently going to be on tape talking to his attorney about paying off some, you
01:34:46.780
And it doesn't seem like there's anything bad on the tape.
01:34:50.120
I mean, it was clearly discussed at some level, but it, it seems to be that the Trump
01:34:55.080
administration is responsible for making it public at this point.
01:34:59.080
Like the, you can say like, well, they're trying to get out ahead of it, but like, I
01:35:05.300
Uh, the way, you know, because he's talking about it and he doesn't, he's not like embracing
01:35:09.420
I mean, the rumors are, no one's heard the tape yet, but you know, the rumors are that
01:35:13.200
it doesn't, it doesn't make it seem like he really had that much interest in it.
01:35:18.220
It doesn't seem like it was a big part of his, you know, it's a two minute conversation.
01:35:26.380
And the, I mean, the press just doesn't, I mean, boy, are they just, they're self-destructive.
01:35:32.800
What it shows, and I'd love to get Pat's perspective on this.
01:35:34.840
What it shows more than anything is Michael Cohn is the worst lawyer of all time.
01:35:38.700
How this guy has maintained a high paying job for anybody for this long, he's recording
01:35:45.120
his clients, private conversations about payments to playboy models.
01:35:53.640
Once the guy becomes president, like what, this is the worst attorney of all time.
01:35:59.040
Well, he probably kept them because he could have said attorney client privilege and he kept
01:36:05.700
But if it's an insurance policy, you got to stash it somewhere, you know, not to be
01:36:12.300
And it's, it's, it's kept in like cold storage somewhere.
01:36:15.620
You know, I mean, it's the worst idea in the world.
01:36:25.360
If they didn't care about Stormy Daniels, they're not going to care about Karen McDougal.
01:36:32.960
And unless you have something, I don't know about you, but I didn't vote for a pastor
01:36:46.620
And when, when you went and bought to Donald Trump and took them off and you were looking
01:36:50.980
at the package, you're like, Oh, it's got some, it's got some chemicals in this thing,
01:36:57.020
I like the guy in the front of the box and, uh, makes me feel good to eat them.
01:37:02.640
And so we did, we know it's like, you know, you went and bought captain crunch and the media
01:37:07.980
is saying, I just want you to know there's a lot of sugar in that cereal.
01:37:15.180
Well, you're like, yeah, I know I bought it and I kind of liked the sugar.
01:37:20.440
I mean, that's, it's ridiculous what they're doing.
01:37:27.740
Uh, this atrocious story, uh, from Odessa, Texas, where of course we know it's the headquarters
01:37:34.440
of racism, uh, worldwide worldwide capital of racist racism.
01:37:43.680
Proclaim it with neon signs when you're driving to town.
01:37:52.380
I mean, these hateful, nasty American Texan people.
01:38:06.960
By the way, the hats and the spurs are usually now worn by Mexicans.
01:38:38.320
And then at the top right, we don't tip terrorist.
01:38:48.700
So not only are they racist, which by the way, what race is Muslim?
01:38:53.140
But not only are they racist, but they're illiterate as well.
01:39:09.920
And so I'm sure these hateful people just assumed.
01:39:19.740
Therefore, you'd understand in that circumstance, you wouldn't want to tip.
01:39:22.340
Because you wouldn't tip Osama bin Laden if you were going to sell crafts.
01:39:26.220
You realize at the end of dinner, was that Osama who's been serving?
01:39:29.320
I don't think we should give him any extra money.
01:39:31.900
I'll pay for the meal, but I'm not going beyond that.
01:39:37.160
But, you know, I am a little black rain cloud at times.
01:39:41.540
Um, I think I would say we shouldn't eat this food if I thought they were a terrorist because,
01:39:52.500
I mean, you're just, you just, you don't, you don't tip terrorists, but you allow them
01:40:05.540
I'm not saying they were thinking clearly the entire night.
01:40:15.460
He doesn't understand why anyone would write that about him.
01:40:22.960
Well, and, but the white people in Texas say he is.
01:40:25.600
If he would have talked to the white people, they would have told him, clearly, you're a
01:40:31.920
So, I don't think any of those, I don't think any of that is true.
01:40:34.720
Well, it's so true that this customer was banned for life from all saltgrass restaurants.
01:40:44.420
And the reason we know about this is because there was a social media post, right?
01:40:58.620
But that doesn't make up for the hurt, the sting, the pain.
01:41:04.240
The psoriasis that could happen because of that.
01:41:06.580
So, as happens in every case, yesterday he admitted, eh, sorry, I made that up.
01:41:16.620
I'm the one who wrote, we don't tip terrorists.
01:41:28.340
Now, does he get banned from all Saltgrass Grill locations?
01:41:35.960
Well, you know, when they said they were going to ban them from all Saltgrass, I thought
01:41:41.000
that was a little hasty and a little, maybe a little too much.
01:41:45.140
Because how could you go through life without going to another Saltgrass?
01:41:52.460
So, I would just like to say to progressives, wake up.
01:41:59.720
And every time this receipt thing, some nasty message like, I don't like black people or
01:42:04.960
go back to Africa or I don't like lesbians or whatever.
01:42:13.020
Do you not go into this with any degree of skepticism at this point?
01:42:19.480
It's the stuff that happens on campus most of the time.
01:42:22.760
When there's like a hate, you know, words, you know, on a wall.
01:42:29.600
Maybe we have this tonight on the News and Why It Matters.
01:42:32.920
Here, the conversation is, we just said progressives, people, Democrats, people on the left, you
01:42:45.220
And I don't mean that as like, you know, it doesn't matter because there's such hate
01:42:50.340
If you believe in postmodernism, which is where we're at now, postmodernism believes it is
01:43:06.600
Anything that tears apart the Western culture is not a lie because there is no truth.
01:43:17.680
He said initially he showed the receipt because it proves that this kind of attitude still exists.
01:43:29.500
Because, of course, there's still some racism somewhere.
01:43:37.960
But you're really hurting the credibility of anybody who actually has a racist incident
01:43:48.140
As soon as I saw this story, I thought, no, it's not real.
01:43:55.980
Good luck in five years getting anybody to listen to you because of everybody saying,
01:44:12.780
Destruction of everything that is based in reason and truth.
01:44:21.300
It also is self-evident that there is not this big of a problem because if there was
01:44:29.140
this big of a problem, you wouldn't need to fake the receipt thing every two weeks.
01:44:39.840
There are people who are religious bigots across not just Muslims, but Jews and every
01:44:45.780
And it's like, but it is luckily in the United States of America, a pretty contained situation.
01:44:54.480
We have to make sure we watch it every time it happens because you don't want it to get
01:45:00.180
But the bottom line is, if it was such a big deal, if it was as bad as they claim, they
01:45:06.340
wouldn't need to manufacture evidence to prove it every couple of weeks.
01:45:17.840
She on Monday was in high school and she was giving a, you know, I don't know, rally pep
01:45:26.180
I don't know what she was doing in high school, but she was speaking to a group of high school
01:45:29.460
students and she said, raise your hand if you've ever posted anything online to quote unquote
01:45:43.900
So vast majority raised their hands in response, then erupted in spontaneous applause.
01:45:53.600
Quote, I know that's fun and it can feel good, but step back and think, what are you
01:46:08.400
We've all been guilty of it at some point or another, but this kind of speech is not
01:46:18.900
It's about bringing people around to your point of view, not by shouting them down, not
01:46:23.980
by showing them, but by showing them how it's in their best interest to see things the way
01:46:37.100
I mean, we are all because it feels good because when they do this, they've been winning, but
01:46:45.420
I'm telling you, they are beating themselves right now.
01:46:51.160
This I heard Ben Shapiro say the other day, this is not a referendum.
01:46:55.240
2020 will not be a referendum on Donald Trump because we've already made up our mind on who
01:46:59.520
Everybody has an opinion and his numbers are not moving no matter what said they don't
01:47:06.140
So if everything would stay stable, the economy and everything else stays stable, this won't
01:47:13.120
This will be a referendum on who is running against Donald Trump and the media and the
01:47:25.480
Who do the Democrats put up against him and what are they?
01:47:32.700
They keep going left because they want to activate their base.
01:47:39.640
That is not connecting with the average person.
01:47:48.100
All you have to do is just say, hey, brother, don't go that way.
01:48:12.980

The mechanic was like, yeah, you know, I found something else.
01:48:50.040
You're hit with a repair ability that you didn't expect.
01:48:55.560
I remember I hated the summer, you know, when for most of my life.
01:49:00.900
Because I'd have a car that, you know, was just always breaking down.
01:49:09.180
You can get extended vehicle protection now, like I have, from Car Shield.
01:49:14.520

If your car breaks down after the warranty expires, you can be out of pocket for thousands of dollars.
01:49:23.000
And replacing your engine can cost you thousands.
01:49:26.220
I brought my car in, my truck in for an oil change.
01:49:33.220
