Glenn Beck is back with a brand new episode of the Glenn Beck Program. He talks about the latest in the Home Title Lock crime spree, and why it s so easy to steal your own house. He also talks about how much better it is to be a socialist than a capitalist. And finally, he explains why he doesn t believe in modern medicine.
00:02:59.700That's when we got the roaring 20s because we put that socialist revolutionary, you know, group back into the bag, at least for another, you know, 10, 12 years.
00:03:29.340If you believe in modern medicine, it shouldn't work because it's all natural and it's stuff from the earth and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:03:36.280It's a terrible tragedy when they give you something natural that you like and actually works for you.
00:03:41.420I am an old fashioned guy that, you know, is that four out of five doctors say, you know, menthol cigarettes are better for you than just plain old camels.
00:04:08.100And I don't remember these, but in the 1950s, they actually did ads where doctors would be in their doctor smock and there'd be like four out of five doctors smoke palm all because they're easier on the throat.
00:05:34.760We may need helium for this because look at the wonderful list of candidates that we have coming our way.
00:05:42.000And I don't think we need the helium quite yet, but there's a, we've been doing this.
00:05:46.320We have a beta, and I don't mean this as it relates to Beto, but a beta version of our power rankings.
00:05:51.900If you are a fan of sports, you'll see this all across all the leagues.
00:05:55.740They do like the ESPN power rankings of the NBA and what teams are, you know, the best teams in the league, which ones are the worst.
00:06:03.820And so we've done this with candidates.
00:06:05.840We've got a formula that takes into account about 30 different categories between polling, fundamentals, fundraising, various different things.
00:06:16.680And so we have an updated list that we've just put out.
00:06:20.820Again, and we're not completely final with the formula.
00:42:03.300But that is what you get from CNN and MSNBC, I'm sure.
00:42:06.140I want to give you the poll numbers, too, of Donald Trump, because the Politico just came out with a great story about he's going to steamroll if the economy stays the way it is.
00:46:27.920But I'd like him to spend just less than a minute telling us who he is, because he was nominated for a Pulitzer by Andrew Breitbart for a series that he did that I remember covering on Fox that was truly terrifying during the Obama administration.
00:46:51.140Tell people, remind them of what you exposed during the Obama administration on that particular topic.
00:46:57.080Yeah, back in 2009, I was invited to a White House conference call, and the meeting looked kind of weird.
00:47:05.100It looked like they were going to be trying to do some kind of a switcheroo with the big National Endowment for the Arts and potentially use it to put out propaganda.
00:47:15.720So I went to the meeting, and it was a conference call meeting, a bunch of people on it, 100 people or so.
00:47:25.240It was with my iPhone, and it was before we all started using these iPhones in that way.
00:47:32.260And I remember you asking me about that back then.
00:47:34.900So I recorded the call and basically caught them.
00:47:38.900What many people were saying, it was a violation of the Hatch Act, which is basically you can't use federal funds to push policy.
00:47:47.120And so I did a story on it, published it with Breitbart News.
00:47:52.200You helped me put it out there nationally on your show at the time.
00:47:57.660And somebody ended up, you know, they initially denied it and said that nothing was going wrong and kind of started attacking me behind the scenes.
00:48:04.460And then eventually somebody resigned from the White House.
00:48:08.220So it ended up being kind of my first big story, my first big foray into storytelling.
00:48:37.460We did a multiple series deep dive into Silicon Valley.
00:48:44.780And, you know, I think you speak a lot about AI and the problems with AI and kind of what it's going to be doing to us in society.
00:48:55.780And we take a real deep dive into Silicon Valley, and we kind of touch on this topic that basically some of our biggest fears are kind of already here.
00:49:06.240I mean, you have this huge collection of human beings and data and computing.
00:49:12.100And we look at Silicon Valley and some of these organizations as virtual organisms because they are – they have become so powerful.
00:49:47.140They have a political ideology as well.
00:49:50.140And if you don't follow that political ideology, they hurt you.
00:49:55.480So we follow – we basically look at the story of YouTube, the origin story of YouTube, to kind of get an understanding of these big organizations and where they came from, how they got so big.
00:50:15.800And we look at them and see how basically YouTube stole the idea from them and how they basically created this – it was one of the hugest value transfers in modern history by using copyright and basically disregarding copyright.
00:50:33.520And they basically took Hollywood's value away from them and benefited from that.
00:50:41.140And they were able to use certain laws that they passed about a decade or so earlier.
00:50:46.600So we really – we go into the Silicon Valley thing.
00:50:50.080And the main point that I'm trying to get through with this series – and once again, it's Red Pilled America.
00:50:58.620The main point I'm trying to get across is we need to start looking at these companies differently because they've created digital town halls that we are having a problem having the ability to speak within.
00:51:12.800And conservatives in the right, we like to look at these things as private property and, oh, okay, we don't – we shouldn't be touching these things.
00:51:21.500But there's a completely different thing going on here.
00:51:23.920It's brand new, and if they've created the digital streets, the digital sidewalks, the digital town halls that we are going to be talking on, we have to be able to speak at these places.
00:51:37.820And there's been Supreme Court rulings on this, Marsh v. Alabama, where private property in these company towns back in the day, it's been ruled that even if it's private property, if they own the town hall, we still have the ability to speak at these locations.
00:51:58.740So we delve into all of these topics in this three-part series.
00:52:07.540You can find his podcast, Red Pilled America, on the iHeartRadio app, and it is well worth your time.
00:52:15.220He is looking at things and looking from the angle of, you know, red state America, but not a sellout to it, just asking the questions that you would ask.
00:52:29.420Patrick, have you read Surveillance Capitalism yet, the book?
00:52:36.880Okay, so I disagree with a lot of stuff in it, but it is a very good look at what is coming and what they truly are working on.
00:52:48.080And the most chilling understanding, I mean, as I read this book, I'm looking at this technology and what's coming out of Silicon Valley and all the algorithms and their search for the ultimate AI much differently now.
00:53:09.060I mean, I've understood it enough to be frightened by it and excited by it, but I'm understanding it in a new way, in this way, Patrick.
00:53:19.920And what they're looking for is 100% certainty.
00:53:25.140So they're looking at our patterns and, for instance, Facebook can tell you you're on your way, you're going to cheat or you're going to get a divorce.
00:53:35.320And they can just tell they know who's doing it or going to do it because the pattern is there and they have so much data.
00:53:42.800And they're looking for more and more data to be able to predict with absolute certainty.
00:53:48.480Once they can predict with absolute certainty, they can then shape us any way they need to shape us to nudge us.
00:53:57.340I mean, it is the ultimate Cass Sunstein.
00:54:00.120We don't need advertisers and people to nudge us.
00:54:05.900And that kind of power in anybody's hands, I don't care if it's government or the private industry, is very dangerous for any republic, any free people.
00:54:19.860You know, when we spoke to the creator of Vimeo, he's a programmer, and he had a very poignant comment that I think kind of touches on what you just said there.
00:54:30.220He said that the philosophy of the creator gets embedded in the creation, that their morality, their values, their crazy ideas, they all become part of the fabric of the algorithms that they create.
00:54:45.080So when you have these enormously powerful companies in Silicon Valley that are admittedly hard left, their values are embedded into this code.
00:54:58.880So like using the example that you just said about adultery or cheating, a lot of these algorithms are maximized for clicks.
00:55:10.480And so if they see that kind of behavior coming, they can actually encourage it because they understand what kinds of things is going to make this person in this state of mind click.
00:55:22.760And, you know, it becomes this very, you know, how do we solve this problem?
00:55:29.040And I think that's the big discussion that we need to be having right now.
00:55:33.100We all understand that there's a major issue.
00:55:36.160It's really now what do we do about this?
00:55:41.440And I am in the same camp as you in that I fear that the government will try to grab the steering wheel and move it in their direction and try to take as much advantage of this as they possibly can.
00:55:54.600But I also fear that our representatives aren't speaking about this as much.
00:56:00.280We only have really Ted Cruz when Mark Zuckerberg was on the kind of being interrogated by the committee.
00:56:07.780Ted Cruz is really the only guy that was really asking the kinds of questions that we need to be asking right here.
00:56:13.760And that really makes me wonder why is it that Ted Cruz was the only guy that was really kind of hitting him on some of these questions.
00:56:20.820And I really – we need to be having a major, major discussion and put aside our rigid ideologies about how we should be dealing with these private companies because they are – this is a different thing that we have going on.
00:56:35.440They know more about us than any government agency has ever known about any U.S. citizen.
00:56:42.620Oh, if Hitler would have had half of this technology, there would not be a Jew left on Earth.
00:56:50.820So true. So true. And so, you know, we really – I want – I would really love if people would take the time, check out Red Pilled America.
00:57:01.180It's on the iHeartRadio app. Take the time to really delve into these issues and understand that there is something different going on here,
00:57:12.100that these people have – they're creating these digital nation states.
00:57:15.620It is our projection, our real-life projection of ourself is now being projected online.
00:57:24.040Facebook, for example, they have become the identity of our online identity.
00:58:21.900I've heard of people talking about transparency in the code, that if we have a transparency in what they're doing, that could help solve the problem.
00:58:33.900Breaking up is definitely, I think, should be on the table because they keep gobbling up their competition.
01:03:36.440I mean, it is a major question to wrestle with because you're getting, you're giving, you're, you're centralizing a lot of influence, uh, you know, for future generations among a very small group of people.
01:03:48.380That being said, I mean, what Patrick brought up, I mean, he hits on a lot of my worries about, about this talk, which is like, you know, again, they built this and, and I, you know, maybe this, you know, I have to, I was not familiar with the Supreme Court ruling that he, he mentioned.
01:04:03.540I mean, he, I know he goes through that in the podcast.
01:04:05.140I want to listen to that because the case is someone smart making the case that these things either should be broken up or, or action taken that would make conservatives uncomfortable is a very popular sort of idea right now.
01:04:18.040I'd like to hear somebody, you know, kind of smart, make the case that isn't just like, well, I, my Twitter shut down, darn it.
01:04:24.060Like a lot of it seems to be just sort of frustration, which is understandable because of the way that they're treating conservatives.
01:04:30.180But I, you know, you get really hesitant when you talk about Google who has created by them, you know, their, it's their business.
01:06:25.200So while you're subscribing to Red Pilled America on the iHeartMap app, you might want to also go over to, I don't know, the Glenn Beck Program.
01:06:33.540Also available there and anywhere you get your podcasts.
01:06:38.560Mary, the child you bear will become the greatest of men.
01:06:43.760From the network that brought you the Bible.
01:07:19.100Trump 2020 prediction from Politico that is interesting and I think true.
01:07:24.680Also, we have a sheriff from Washington State.
01:07:28.460He's going to be coming on with us to talk about the new gun laws and how the sheriffs are opposing this and what the state is doing to try to punish the sheriffs.
01:08:12.820I'm standing here this morning outside of police headquarters because one of our guests on the show, later on Twitter, who has a boy who was a son who was born a boy, then transitioned to a girl.
01:08:26.560They were referred to the wrong pronoun as a he or a boy.
01:08:31.600As a result of that, Susie Green said that she found this actually distressing and spiteful, made a complaint to Surrey police, who now tell us that they are actually investigating as a hate crime.
01:08:42.900Hate crime, have a maximum prison sentence of anything up to two years.
01:08:46.920This is at a time, of course, when we've been talking about a loss on the program with rising knife crime around the country.
01:08:51.980And also violence is soaring in the UK as well.
01:08:54.940Should the police be prioritizing crimes like this?
01:09:41.860And he made a great point, which I had, I had never really thought about, which is they talk about misgendering on social networks, which is okay.
01:09:50.180They, as they just explained, a man has transitioned to a woman and you call them a man.
01:10:49.480There's this movie out called Brexit and I watched it last night and it is really worth your time watching.
01:10:56.300Because I had the impression, I saw about half an hour of it and I DVR'd it.
01:11:00.200I watched it with one eye and I don't know British politics well enough to know how, in fact, we've got a guy from Scotland who's now my executive assistant and I'm going to ask him to watch it and tell me the subtle things that I might have missed.
01:11:29.860And no, they split the leave side into two camps, the Steve Bannon camp, because Steve was part of that, and the Steve Bannon camp that was using race to say, we got to get out.
01:11:42.180And then the, not Nigel Farage, Daniel Hannon, Daniel Hannon's side.
01:11:48.900And that's, you know, Cumberbunch's side.
01:11:53.740And you see, and you see, you see them find, they're starting to use algorithms and this new company comes in from Canada and, and Bannon is using Cambridge Analytica.
01:12:08.360And he's finding all kinds of stuff out, but the, the other side of exit, they don't know any, they're, they're not dealing with them at all.
01:12:19.480In fact, they say, we don't want anything to do with those guys, but they're using this new scientific data as well.
01:12:25.100And they find that people are really seething under the surface and the government people, they just don't get it.
01:12:35.420The exit people or the stay in people, they don't see it coming at all until this scene.
01:12:40.340And I want you to, I want you to listen to this.
01:12:42.460Now this is a, a scene from the movie and it is, um, a, uh, focus group where the focus group person is, is not making the case to the focus group, uh, that the government really wants to make that.
01:13:02.420These things are not true and they're really going to hurt you and blah, blah, blah.
01:13:06.020So they have everybody, a representative from all of these different viewpoints in society and you can, the first time they meet, it's not so clear, but as the exit people find them first and start to listen to them and amplify the voice of those who feel unheard, those who feel unheard.
01:13:30.060And it felt unheard for a long time, start to express it, uh, uh, loudly in this focus group.
01:20:50.200Simply safe back dot com will help you do that at an amazing price with the highest of technology, the latest technology in a way that's so unintrusive that you won't even notice it.
01:21:03.040It's all wireless and there's no contracts.
01:21:26.620Now, I I want to play some audio that came out earlier this week, but we never really spent some time on the radio show talking about Ted Koppel and what he said.
01:21:45.460You know, he came out in a discussion with the Carnegie Endowment for international police or for peace.
01:21:55.880And he said, you know, Donald Trump is right.
01:22:12.260But the notion that most of us look upon Donald Trump as being an absolute fiasco.
01:22:18.780Well, he's not mistaken in that perception and he's not mistaken when so many of the liberal media, for example, describe themselves as belonging to the resistance.
01:22:34.220That's not that's not said by people who consider themselves reporters, objective reporters of facts.
01:22:43.960That's the kind of language that's used by people who genuinely believe and rather suspect with some justification that Donald Trump is bad for the United States.
01:22:56.320And the better, you know, the sooner he's out of office, the better they will like it.
01:23:00.460Whether that happens by virtue of indictment, impeachment or election, we'll see.
01:23:14.120I mean, that is exactly where so many, you know, so many journalists are.
01:23:19.120And it's why it's why fake news is a thing.
01:23:22.360It's why it's an effective tactic for people on the right to mention, because so much of it it's, you know, sometimes there's basis or at least a hint of basis behind these stories.
01:23:34.220But they blow them up into these ridiculous proportions and do everything they can to magnify it.
01:23:39.280They do everything they can to make it as bad as possible for the president because they believe that to get him out with any means necessary is the right thing to do.
01:24:39.440And he's described as a segregationist in Durham, North Carolina.
01:24:43.900But he was actually the Grand Cyclops, the exalted Cyclops of the Klan.
01:24:50.220We have to spend some time just on that at some point.
01:24:52.880But anyway, they were on this committee together and they were told you guys work out this, you know, school resegregation or or desegregation.
01:25:48.040There is a a very optimistic prediction about Donald Trump and the 2020 election, but it comes with a pretty big if if we're going to start there in one minute.
01:26:30.040For instance, if if somebody can hack into a doctor's files and get your file, that's worth a thousand dollars and they'll make a lot of money on that because that has your place of birth, your email addresses, credit card information, social security number, everything.
01:26:48.640So now they can really go after you and your money and your credit.
01:26:52.760There are hackers that are doing this 24 seven and most doctors in a 2017 survey showed that the health care providers, only 16 percent of them had fully functional cyber security on their files.
01:28:33.020I want to give you this from Politico and Ben White.
01:28:35.020He says economic models, economic models point to a Trump blowout in 2020, but a faltering economy or giant scandal could change everything.
01:28:47.380Donald Trump has a low approval rating.
01:28:49.700He's engaged in bitter Twitter wars and facing metastasizing investigations.
01:28:54.160But if the election were held today, he would likely ride to a second turn in term in a huge landslide, according to multiple economic models with strong track records of picking presidential winners and losers.
01:29:11.000A strong U.S. economy featuring low unemployment, rising wages, low gas prices are the reason.
01:29:19.480This is also a historic advantage held by incumbent presidents, and they usually win.
01:29:26.580While Trump appears to be in a much stronger position than his approval rating and conventional beltway wisdom might suggest, he could also wind up in trouble if the economy slows markedly between now and next fall.
01:29:40.180Other legal bombshells could explode the current scenario.
01:29:44.100Trump's party managed to lose the House in 2018 despite a strong economy, so the models could wind up being wrong this time around.
01:29:52.420The 2020 election, the new Congress, the Mueller investigation, all of these things are going to play a role.
01:30:00.500But the economy is, quoting, so damn strong right now, and by all historic precedent, the incumbent should run away with it.
01:30:08.640That's the chief investment offer for trend macro analytics.
01:30:12.260I don't see how the blue wall could resist this economy.
01:33:25.100And I think the president, if he gets the trade deal done with China, because I want to give him the benefit of the doubt that he has good people around him.
01:34:06.820Now, if that's true, when you get the deal, take this tariff away.
01:34:12.060If you take this tariff away, you are going to flood money back into the system and you'll be able to juice the economy again and you'll see even better results than what we're seeing right now.
01:34:24.920Because we have a good economy right now.
01:34:31.340I mean, if you want to be, you know, this is obviously high risk and it's probably not what's happening.
01:34:35.620But if you want to be cynical about it, if the economy is fumbling at all as we approach the election, this is a major bullet in the chamber for Trump to utilize.
01:34:49.420Because if he were to free the economy, let's say a month before the election or two months before the election, excuse me, it probably would make the economy, even if it's just for a short term sugar burst, the economy would go crazy when they thought this was over.
01:35:05.700If he could signal that at the right time, it would really increase his chances of being reelected.
01:35:11.720If he did it any time this year or in the second quarter of 2020, if he did it in spring of next year, it would give a sugar burst.
01:35:22.660I think it has to be a little earlier than two months, but maybe as late as spring of next year, he could get away with taking that foot off that brake and putting it on the gas and it will help.
01:35:35.960Because I think there are people that are willing to do what they have to do.
01:35:49.640I mean, there are those who will do bad things.
01:35:53.300I'd like the president to know he has a bullet in his in his gun and he all he needs to do is just pull the trigger and stop with the trade war.
01:36:02.740And it could ensure his presidency for another four years.
01:36:10.120A lot of crazy things happening with guns.
01:39:37.060But there there is a different culture of people who grew up with guns, are taught how to use guns, are comfortable around guns and protect their families with guns versus people primarily live in cities are just afraid of them.
01:39:53.220And so when political demagogues show up and say, this is how we're going to empower terrorists to kill all of us, as Chuck Schumer just said about 3D printed guns and you don't know any better, that's that's a problem.
01:40:06.700So so part of part of what I learned the hard way, I had a very similar experience when I worked on Capitol Hill.
01:41:07.520And conservatives try to, you know, use facts and figures and everything else and speak logic where the left generally tells a story and speaks from emotion.
01:42:24.280I think you've had some of those guys on young libertarians that are very into explaining things on camera.
01:42:31.660And he's an interesting guy because he's actually a legal scholar at the Cato Institute.
01:42:35.900But before that, he was a machinist and he's a gun enthusiast and he's reconstructing all of these old, like, World War I rifles that don't exist anymore.
01:42:49.980He understands the technology of 3D printing.
01:42:52.700And we just had him sort of show people this is what this actually is.
01:42:57.140So when some senator says something ridiculous about ghost guns and how we're going to be empowering terrorists by allowing 3D printers, 3D printers where you can, you know, you can, you can actually empower kids that need prosthetic limbs with 3D printers.
01:44:07.660But you see in New Zealand where, you know, emotion makes a lot of bad decisions and it forces you into bad decisions with, with this ban.
01:44:14.900I mean, if you think about this, because it's being praised by the media and the left and people all over the world as, look, they, they know how to do it right.
01:44:22.920They had this incident and they took action, period.
01:44:24.960They took action based on that incident.
01:44:26.920I mean, you could make the same argument, uh, that if there is a, a terrorist attack by a Muslim, that that's the great reason to go round up Muslims all across the country.
01:44:38.600Because we don't know, of course, yes, we're going to be taking a lot of law abiding Muslims off the streets too.
01:44:54.460And that's where the constitution should kick in and say, uh-uh, you can't do that.
01:44:59.100But that's, it was meant to slow you down or to stop you from doing things because you had an irrational amount or even a rational amount of fear that would make you sell your liberty or someone else's liberty because of your fear.
01:45:15.400You know, Terry and I, um, uh, reacted out of emotion a couple of years ago and finally learned and how to shoot pistols.
01:45:22.880And we bought pistols in the District of Columbia, which is a, is a, not an easy thing to do, but it wasn't.
01:45:29.580I mean, I've always understood the importance of, of our right to bear arms, but I'm not a gun guy, but I watched, um, you know, the, the emotional trigger for me was watching the, the shooting in Paris that the Eagles of death metal and their audience was gunned down by, by terrorists.
01:45:46.120And I go to a lot of concerts and I'm like, you know what?
01:58:43.040You'd feel really confident, uh, that someone like that was actually guarding the constitution.
01:58:47.020If you lived in that County, I will tell you, this is what we talked about.
01:58:50.120Remember how many years ago did we say, you've got to support your local sheriffs, get to know
01:58:54.380your local sheriff because constitutionally they don't report directly to the voter and they are your last line of defense for the, um, uh, for the constitution.
01:59:10.020So the most important vote you can cast in your lifetime, uh, when things start to get scary is your sheriff because he's the last line of defense for the constitution.
02:00:53.120Not that they also don't brush their teeth and they eat their own poop.
02:00:55.640But, uh, they don't find it enjoyable either.

02:02:52.560I have to come on national radio and television every day and be called Stu because of you and your incompetence when it comes to hearing and understanding their English language.
02:03:00.980No, because of a drunk, uh, uh, person at a party, at a, at a, at a club, uh, they were drunk.
02:03:07.960They introduced you, uh, they slurred and it was very loud and I heard Stu.
02:03:14.080And what does a normal person, let me, let me ask, this is a very shady story.
02:03:19.160Let me ask, let me ask Marissa, uh, if, if, uh, somebody introduced you and, and they, they said, ah, here's my husband.
02:03:28.780And you said, and then that person looked at you and said, oh, Marilyn, nice, nice to meet you.
