Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly are joined by special guest Tucker Carlson to discuss the latest in the Mike Lee/Tucker Carlson saga. Glenn also talks about the dangers of having a burglar alarm in your home, and the fact that 99% of the time it's a false alarm.
00:06:31.140I have two perspectives I'd like to touch on, if I could.
00:06:35.240And I think they both maybe kind of boil down to the same root, which is a severe lack of introspection, I think, in this country.
00:06:45.660We are not taught to have introspection anymore.
00:06:50.140My perspective is from a social media standpoint, I don't even try to inform anybody on Facebook in a personal way, like on their Facebook page.
00:07:34.040And then from my husband's perspective, in the business world, he read this book called Quiet by Susan Cain.
00:07:42.260And in it, she documents how the Harvard Business School, they've moved from character to charisma.
00:07:48.720And now it's all about pretending that you know the answer.
00:07:52.440And it doesn't matter if the answer is right or not.
00:07:55.720It's whoever can convince the room that their answer is right.
00:08:01.100And my husband deals with this in business all the time where it's like, okay, we can't just solve the problem here.
00:08:08.580We have to grandstand and pretend we know what we're talking about.
00:08:13.600And it's so frustrating for him to try to get this done.
00:08:19.080Everything that I've ever taught my son and my daughters, everything I learned as a kid, I learned as a kid, if you don't have the answer, there is strength in saying, I don't know, but I'll find the answer.
00:09:02.220They can't believe, but they know that they can trust him.
00:09:06.000You know, they know that they can trust him to say, you know, put it the way things are.
00:09:11.440And my husband's all about, it's funny, I mean, same as Trump, winning.
00:09:15.400You know, hey, are we going to win in this business?
00:09:18.100Are we going to do the best for the least cost?
00:09:22.140Or are we going to go round and round and round in circles hoping that we succeed?
00:09:27.440So I think, and I think both of those things come down to, we have lost the ability to look at ourselves and say, hey, am I a part of the problem here?
00:09:36.500You mentioned, gosh, it's been a couple months ago now, but like maybe we should all treat ourselves like alcoholics.
00:09:42.920You know, maybe we should all go through a 12-step program.
00:09:46.460You know, because that really, that's the answer right there.
00:09:52.640I wish that was a required school, high school course, to be completely honest with you.
00:09:57.760I think you, you know, I've said alcoholics, recovering alcoholics, not the, you know, like, have I got another thing?
00:10:09.120It's the only way I can understand certain news, you know, like, and Bernie Sanders is, would be Donald Trump today if the election were held.
00:10:23.680Claire, I really think that recovery is what this country needs because you first have to admit that there's a higher power and you are powerless to fix the things that are out of control.
00:10:36.260And then you need to say, you know what, I've done a lot of things wrong and I apologize.
00:10:42.280Boy, those, just that would turn us around.
00:10:46.380And on top of that, my need to convince you that everything that I say is right, I can't be wrong.
00:10:54.820You know, there's that, like, we can't have a discussion that's back and forth anymore.
00:10:59.060It's like if you, you know, some of my friends, if I question them, which I'd done in the past on Facebook and got trounced severely, like, okay, I guess I won't touch that subject anymore.
00:11:09.280So I just hope that being a nice, sane person on Facebook who puts out some things but is not, you know, in everybody's face all the time will maybe allow some of my friends to check out some of the things that I post, PragerU, walkaway stories, you know, stuff like that.
00:11:33.160But unless it's face-to-face, the argument is doomed.
00:11:43.980I think you're on exactly the right track.
00:11:45.940But I have found that just living your life, as an example, not showing it off to anybody, just living your life and people seeing it and seeing how happy you are and how miserable they are, without you ever saying it, without, when you share something from PragerU,
00:12:12.300you share it because you found truth in it, and if people watch it or don't watch it, that's fine.
00:12:19.720You're not trying to win or start an argument.
00:12:46.920Yeah, I mean, we get thousands every day, so I don't know how we missed it, but I'm going to put you on hold, talk to our producer, and I'll get it right away, and we'll share it.
00:13:06.080I live in Raleigh, North Carolina, and I grew up in Maine, and you would think that I'm liberal, but I'm not.
00:13:14.560My dad was very libertarian, so I grew up with more of that sensibility.
00:13:20.540And my husband is a native of North Carolina, and in Raleigh, we call him a unicorn because there are so few natives around here.
00:13:27.280So as I was telling the screener, we have a lot of exposure and a lot of interaction with native North Carolinians who are very conservative.
00:13:38.280And when we are around each other, they talk very similar to Trump.
00:13:44.440They do feel kind of empowered, and sometimes it does bother me because I support a lot of Trump's policy.
00:13:49.400I like a lot of the action that has been taken under Trump.
00:13:53.620I don't love everything that he says and how he says it.
00:13:57.440And so I feel like, as Stu said the other day on the News and Why It Matters, if you could kind of see him as the presidency without an actual figurehead.
00:14:08.400And I thought, that's genius, because I do love what he's doing.
00:14:13.000And I find here, for the 2016 election, you didn't know that Trump supporters were in hiding.
00:14:26.380I can't say anything on social media that even remotely might be construed as supporting Trump or even any type of conservative agenda.
00:14:35.960Or I'm a racist, and I'm a terrible person, and I don't love children.
00:14:41.660So, Nikki, so wait, let me ask you this and take it down one more step.
00:14:49.320I think there are a lot of people that don't say things because they are afraid.
00:14:55.000But I also think, for the first time in my life, there are a lot of people that don't want to voice their support because we live in it.
00:15:03.700It doesn't mean they don't support him.
00:15:05.340But because we live in an all-or-nothing kind of world, if you say, well, you know what, I do support the president's policies, you're immediately with everything he says.
00:15:19.280And, you know, I don't want to be a guy who says, oh, I love President Trump, because I don't.
00:15:26.960I have real significant issues with him on policies and some principles, but I'll vote for him this time.
00:15:36.840I'm pretty darn sure because the other side is going to destroy the economic world.
00:15:45.060If Elizabeth Warren comes in and she implements her, you know, end of the free market system kind of policies, it's global chaos and an end to America as we know it.
00:15:59.020But that doesn't mean that I agree with everything he does because I'm a little nervous about him at times as well.
00:16:07.020So do you think there's that extra, what did you say?
00:16:10.300I feel the same way. I feel like I don't have a choice in voting Democrat.
00:16:18.380I wouldn't, but I could never vote for any of the Democratic candidates.
00:16:22.280And, again, I do like his politics, and I do agree.
00:16:26.880I think that it is the second you, even if you don't say I support Trump, if you just say something about supporting or being thankful for something that's happening in the economy, the job market,
00:16:40.400or, you know, our presence as just as a country, as a sovereign nation, where he's finally standing up to other countries and saying, no, you cannot walk over the United States anymore.
00:16:53.540We have to start taking care of our own, and we have to respect that we have borders, and we have to respect that, no, China, you can't take over everything.
00:17:03.740And it's scary. It's very scary to think that it could affect our economy negatively, even doing that.
00:17:10.700But if you say, I like the direction that is going in, immediately you and Trump are synonymous.
00:17:18.920And that is a thing, I think, thank you, Nikki, I think that is a huge, huge problem for Donald Trump, and America.
00:17:32.180It's going to last long after Donald Trump.
00:17:35.860But it is, it's a real problem, because if it suppresses the vote, it'll be bad.
00:17:44.760And I'm hoping, you know, I've, I've, I've taken heat from both sides for questioning, and then for, oh, Glenn Beck's in love with him.
00:18:55.120And I'm, I'm really hoping that people will stand up and, uh, at least in the voting booth, uh, and say, I, I just, I don't have any other choice here.
00:19:08.480I don't have any other choice because there is no one sane that, uh, that is running on the left.
00:19:15.540All right, let me pause for one minute.
00:19:18.440Do you know what probably the single greatest enemy of gun rights in this country, it's not a party or an individual.
00:19:25.420It is ignorance or self-imposed apathy.
00:19:28.500Having only the basic understanding of what the second amendment is, what it's designed to do and all the laws surrounding it, uh, can be dangerous.
00:19:38.780If you don't, if you don't know what you're talking about, or if you're just oblivious to it, you never, if you ever have to use a gun in self-defense for you or your family,
00:19:50.100the legal battle that you're going to face afterwards is crazy.
00:19:55.060That's why the U.S. Concealed Carry Association exists.
00:19:59.480Ending today, they've been giving away 17 guns every single day to responsibly armed citizens like you and me.
00:20:06.320All you have to do is text the word G-L-E-N-N to 87222 and claim your free entries.
00:31:24.580There's never been an excuse where they're like, look, what he probably meant here was this.
00:31:29.380They actually jump on it the complete opposite way.
00:31:32.300They look for anything he says that's the slightest bit off and then act as if he's making a major policy statement.
00:31:39.260And, you know, this goes back to things like even going back to the very classic example from 2015 where he came down the escalator and said, you know, look, we've got rapists coming across the border.
00:31:51.400Everybody who listened to that speech could easily tell that what he is talking about is are there some?
00:33:31.020We all knew when we voted for him or, you know, when people voted for him that that's baked in.
00:33:40.000There's not a single person that I know that really, when it comes down to it at the dead of night, doesn't know that Donald Trump just kind of is loose with the facts, to put it kindly.
00:37:39.040I mean, certainly not the fire and fury thing.
00:37:42.000Donald Trump has a long history of wanting to avoid conflict internationally.
00:37:46.520And as you've seen in the past few months, when they're firing missile after missile after missile and he's just like, well, look, they're not violating the agreement.
00:38:58.320And a lot of that has to right to win.
00:39:00.140And if he believes that winning is the trade war, he'll say what he believes at that time that will give him an advantage in that negotiation.
00:39:11.120And if you see how he negotiates for real estate deals, he plays hardball and then it's over.
00:39:19.660And then he's like, that's my best friend.
00:39:22.020He is just negotiating and no one can see that.
00:49:33.680One, any various economic and political theory advocating collective or government ownership and people running the means of production and distribution of goods.
00:49:53.760So, that's the really hardcore socialism kind of thing.
00:50:03.000That's where – hey, that's not Sweden, I'll tell you that.
00:50:07.220And so, maybe we can find Sweden under number two.
00:50:11.300Two, it's a system of society or group living in which there is – well, in which there is no private property.
00:55:25.120On his August 20th Fox News show, Tucker Carlson detailed how Senate Antitrust Subcommittee Chairperson Mike Lee
00:55:33.920transformed one of Google's harshest critics into one of his most loyal defenders faster than you can say monopoly.
00:55:43.080From 2011 to 2015, Lee pressed the Federal Trade Commission to pursue antitrust violations against Google for its Internet search dominance,
00:55:52.780grilled its CEO, Eric Schmidt, for the company's abuses,
00:55:57.200and supported the European Union's investigation into the search engine giant.
00:56:02.480After the FTC slapped Google on the wrist,
00:56:05.320he said he would investigate the Obama White Houses in proper interference with the investigation.
00:56:11.100But now, according to Tucker Carlson, he has done a complete 180.
00:56:16.700As a possible explanation for the flip-flop,
00:56:19.120Carlson pointed to investments in Utah by Google and Facebook,
00:56:27.860along with Google's fundraising for Lee.
00:56:30.620The two-term senator declined an invitation to discuss the issues on the show.
