The Glenn Beck Program - 'History On The Move'？ - 5⧸14⧸18

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

00:00:07.140 Glenn Beck.

00:00:09.680 Well, as we get ready to open the embassy in Israel today, we need to speak of the hate

00:00:16.140 that dare not speak its name.

00:00:19.120 Not the love that dare not speak its name, but the hate that dare not speak its name.

00:00:23.620 The hate that increasingly spreads throughout the world, ravaging civilizations, spreading

00:00:29.480 a doctrine of hate and violence.

00:00:32.200 But as if we're in some sort of abusive relationship and are afraid of speaking out, we can't say

00:00:39.040 exactly what it is for fear of our lives.

00:00:42.680 Yesterday, the hate that dare not speak its name attacked three churches in Indonesia,

00:00:49.380 three Christian churches on a Sunday, the day of worship.

00:00:52.800 The hate that dare not speak its name was disguised.

00:00:56.540 It was disguised as a family, a couple and their four children.

00:01:00.380 They all had bombs strapped to themselves.

00:01:03.560 They walked into churches and blew themselves up.

00:01:06.200 At least 13 churchgoers died.

00:01:09.440 Two police died.

00:01:10.980 More than 40 were injured.

00:01:14.080 You see what happened in Paris?

00:01:17.180 The hate that we dare not speak its name killed people, this time with a knife.

00:01:23.340 They don't have access to guns and in France, they're not enlightened enough to take away

00:01:29.100 the knives because after all, it's the knives.

00:01:32.220 It's not the hate.

00:01:36.180 We know this and have known this for a long time, but it bears repeating the hate that

00:01:43.220 dare not speak its name is spreading.

00:01:46.080 It's multiplying.

00:01:47.180 And as it does, it strangles the rest of the world just a little bit tighter.

00:01:53.320 In the Gaza Strip, we're seeing that hate.

00:01:59.320 But let's not talk about it.

00:02:02.520 Let's just live in fear.

00:02:05.840 Shuffle our feet.

00:02:08.200 And hear the rumble approaching.

00:02:11.340 The rumble of the hate that we dare not speak its name.

00:02:15.740 It's Monday, May 14th.

00:02:23.460 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:28.360 So, we are in the midst of opening the embassy right now in Jerusalem.

00:02:35.380 It is happening in probably the safest place in the world today, and that is Jerusalem. 0.80

00:02:44.400 They have the city, you know, locked down tight.

00:02:52.380 And one of the reasons why they have it locked down so tight is because of what is happening

00:02:58.900 on the Gaza Strip.

00:03:00.540 What's happening on the Gaza Strip is remarkable.

00:03:03.920 Apparently, just Israelis are just killing innocent Palestinians.

00:03:09.160 I don't know if you saw that, Stu.

00:03:10.920 Yeah, that's the big...

00:03:11.640 That's what I've heard on the news all day as dozens of innocent Palestinians who just

00:03:18.900 happen to be strolling by a fence that they didn't put up.

00:03:21.760 They didn't want that.

00:03:22.320 No, of course not.

00:03:23.360 And so, they were just walking by a fence and were just gunned down by Israeli troops.

00:03:28.360 This is what happens over and over and over and over again.

00:03:31.400 Just innocently gunned down.

00:03:33.000 And you know what?

00:03:33.620 It's something we knew was going to happen when Trump took these steps.

00:03:37.420 Yeah.

00:03:37.480 You know, Trump moved this, you know, this embassy to Jerusalem.

00:03:41.020 Now, of course, every other president has promised this for decades.

00:03:45.800 And Trump actually decided to do it to his...

00:03:49.820 I would say to his credit in an alternative universe.

00:03:52.860 But here, I want to make sure we focus on this just caused death.

00:03:57.400 That is legitimately how it's being covered.

00:03:59.400 It's like there's this unavoidable consequence.

00:04:03.300 When you move a building from one city to another city...

00:04:07.740 Oh, my gosh.

00:04:08.140 Of course, it's going to cause death.

00:04:09.320 Yeah, I mean, you saw what happened with the Wicked Witch of the West.

00:04:12.460 Didn't the building land on her?

00:04:13.980 I assume that's what's happening here because...

00:04:15.840 To the Palestinians. 1.00

00:04:16.860 Yeah, because the Palestinians. 0.99

00:04:17.840 Because the building must have picked it up in a plane...

00:04:20.980 No, they didn't.

00:04:21.700 ...and dropped it on a bunch of protesters.

00:04:23.440 No, they didn't.

00:04:24.240 Because they act as if it's an unavoidable consequence.

00:04:28.020 When someone moves a building from one city to another,

00:04:30.680 that you must rush against armed soldiers at a fence.

00:04:34.400 That's something that must occur.

00:04:36.300 It cannot be avoided under any circumstance.

00:04:38.500 Actually, this was planned before that.

00:04:44.940 The march of return.

00:04:49.280 Oh.

00:04:50.000 Yeah.

00:04:50.500 So that was planned before.

00:04:53.700 You have to understand this is a border between the Gaza Strip,

00:04:58.140 that's part of Palestine,

00:04:59.280 and, of course, Israel.

00:05:01.460 Another separate country that has nothing to do...

00:05:05.720 No, actually...

00:05:05.760 Hmm?

00:05:07.320 Hmm?

00:05:08.280 Actually...

00:05:09.160 No, it's all part of the same.

00:05:10.920 Oh.

00:05:11.840 Wow.

00:05:12.200 That's totally different.

00:05:13.340 It's almost as if they shouldn't be announcing it as the border between the Gaza Strip and Israel.

00:05:17.980 Because, really, there isn't one, is there?

00:05:20.540 No.

00:05:21.100 No.

00:05:21.500 No.

00:05:21.900 No.

00:05:23.060 And this is...

00:05:23.620 I mean, just watching this unfold,

00:05:25.740 they're saying now, you know, the Palestinians are saying 1,500 injured, 37 dead,

00:05:31.580 and that number is going to increase.

00:05:32.460 They just don't care about their own people.

00:05:34.080 Absolutely not.

00:05:34.820 And this is a point that needs to be made,

00:05:38.540 in that there is...

00:05:39.600 Have you heard any Arab pushback to the Jerusalem embassy?

00:05:46.600 Have you noticed?

00:05:47.440 Have you heard a word one from Iran?

00:05:49.920 Have you heard a word one from Saudi Arabia?

00:05:51.780 Have you heard a word one from anybody in this region other than the Palestinians? 1.00

00:05:55.080 Yes.

00:05:55.160 Saudi Arabia, I have.

00:05:56.500 Yeah.

00:05:57.620 Saudi Arabia said to the Palestinians, 0.79

00:06:00.140 you know, take a peace deal or shut up. 0.88

00:06:02.940 Yeah. 0.74

00:06:03.080 That was the actual quote. 0.99

00:06:04.260 Or shut up. 0.97

00:06:06.120 Jordan, Egypt, you haven't heard much of anything. 0.99

00:06:09.000 So for all of the effect that you're supposed to be feeling from the evilness of the Jewish state, 1.00

00:06:18.860 the region is not pushing back against this.

00:06:22.740 Because, I mean, look, you say what you want about this move.

00:06:26.520 Because you can say, well, it's going to cause violence.

00:06:29.120 What do you mean it's going to cause violence?

00:06:30.460 Who's responsible for that?

00:06:32.040 When you rush a fence, when there are people with guns behind it,

00:06:36.520 there's a fence there because they believe they're going to be attacked.

00:06:39.240 When 1,500 people rush the fence,

00:06:41.440 what the hell do you think that they believe is happening?

00:06:44.520 And it is happening.

00:06:45.800 You're rushing the fence.

00:06:46.860 It's an attack.

00:06:48.140 And yes, there are going to be, at that point,

00:06:50.400 you're going to have to fire and push back the attackers.

00:06:53.260 That is what's going to happen.

00:06:54.020 Why are you such a hater? 0.99

00:06:55.260 I mean, this is ridiculous. 0.99

00:06:56.580 Why are you such a hater? 0.98

00:06:58.960 I'm not a hater.

00:07:00.020 Yeah, you are.

00:07:00.840 I believe. 0.99

00:07:01.540 You just hate Palestinians.

00:07:03.240 I don't hate Palestinians. 0.97

00:07:04.300 Yeah, you do. 0.99

00:07:04.920 You hate Palestinians. 0.99

00:07:05.940 You just love the Jews. 0.91

00:07:07.760 I do love the Jews.

00:07:09.020 I'll say that.

00:07:09.640 Yeah, I do.

00:07:10.920 And, you know, they've earned that love.

00:07:14.620 Yeah, you know, this is the problem.

00:07:16.300 Can you name any other country that has been attacked

00:07:22.700 and then told to give the land back that they took in that war?

00:07:31.020 I cannot think, I cannot think of any.

00:07:37.100 No, I can't think of any.

00:07:39.560 They were attacked.

00:07:41.320 It's like, imagine, imagine if we were attacked by Canada 0.97

00:07:45.600 and we push them back to Montreal

00:07:50.580 and we took the land in between the United States border

00:07:55.680 and Montreal and we took it because it was strategic.

00:08:03.100 We could not have them living right on top of us.

00:08:06.920 And so we push them back.

00:08:10.140 And can you imagine?

00:08:11.540 Well, yes, you could.

00:08:13.060 You could.

00:08:13.680 America would be, they would demand that America do the same thing.

00:08:16.940 So let's reverse it.

00:08:18.540 Imagine that Canada pushes into the United States

00:08:24.420 and takes Chicago and Detroit

00:08:27.140 because we attacked them.

00:08:30.580 You think the world would say anything other than good?

00:08:36.560 Probably not.

00:08:37.520 I mean, look what they did to Germany. 0.98

00:08:41.140 Germany attacked in World War I.

00:08:45.660 They took the land that was theirs. 0.77

00:08:49.760 The Rhineland, they just took it. 0.56

00:08:51.700 Yeah.

00:08:52.300 And said, well, it's for reparations.

00:08:55.060 They didn't.

00:08:56.580 Wait a minute, what?

00:08:57.640 And later, Hitler did demand the land back, right? 0.92

00:09:02.200 Yes.

00:09:02.780 And gee, look what everybody did.

00:09:04.920 Yep.

00:09:05.780 Look, it's a, that's the only example I was trying to come up with.

00:09:09.080 That's about the only one I can think of.

00:09:10.340 And usually you don't want to use Hitler for an example of your side.

00:09:13.400 It's not, you don't normally want to be like,

00:09:15.120 hey, well, I do have that Hitler example. 0.90

00:09:16.680 It's not something.

00:09:17.040 No, but he didn't take the land.

00:09:19.060 No, he asked for it.

00:09:20.160 And they did give it for him.

00:09:21.740 Under, at the point of a gun, certainly.

00:09:24.520 But still.

00:09:25.420 No, no, I mean in World War I.

00:09:26.880 Okay, yeah.

00:09:27.340 In World War I, they took the land. 0.94

00:09:31.080 Germany lost.

00:09:33.520 The Allies didn't even occupy it.

00:09:35.780 They just said, and you're giving us this land.

00:09:37.820 Right.

00:09:38.140 Which was his motivation later on.

00:09:40.120 His first, his first real request.

00:09:42.520 And his quote unquote request.

00:09:44.100 Right.

00:09:44.500 And does anybody think that, you know, that was a good example?

00:09:47.440 No, that's what I'm saying.

00:09:48.560 I want to use Hitler as an example for your side. 0.93

00:09:50.800 No.

00:09:51.100 That's usually a bad example.

00:09:52.820 It's just, you know, look, we, this shouldn't, we all know this is true.

00:09:57.140 And this is an, you know, there is, there's violence going on over there and people are

00:10:01.800 going to focus on that because it's a loss of life and it's real.

00:10:06.220 But it's, it's unnecessary.

00:10:08.260 This is, this is true.

00:10:09.420 We all know what the facts are.

00:10:11.240 And this is because from a Trump perspective, an unqualified good day.

00:10:15.360 Because he's admitting something that everybody knows is true and is denied.

00:10:19.740 Yeah.

00:10:19.760 And if you want to talk about something central to Trump's victory and what people like about

00:10:23.720 him, it's that.

00:10:24.720 Right.

00:10:24.980 People like the fact that when you go, you watch every news channel today and none of

00:10:31.420 them are mentioning the fact that everyone on earth knows Jerusalem is the capital of

00:10:38.420 Israel.

00:10:38.680 There's a fundamental fact at the center of all of this that everybody knows is true and

00:10:45.980 everyone is denying and has been denying for multiple decades.

00:10:50.100 So, you know, what the, you know, what the next big movement is, the big, the next big

00:10:56.360 movement I'm convinced is the movement of no, the courage of, no, well, the capital is Tel

00:11:09.040 Aviv.

00:11:09.700 No, no, it's really not.

00:11:13.120 I know it, you know it, the maps know it.

00:11:15.860 It's the eternal capital of Israel is Jerusalem.

00:11:19.600 It was the historic capital of Israel.

00:11:25.680 Their seat of government is in Jerusalem.

00:11:28.900 That's where they have all of the buildings.

00:11:30.920 How can you possibly say that's like saying the capital building is in Washington, but our

00:11:34.960 real capital is Topeka, Kansas.

00:11:37.200 No, it's not.

00:11:38.040 No.

00:11:38.860 And I'm not going to play along.

00:11:41.140 You know, uh, just because you think you're a woman, even though you're a man, uh, I'm

00:11:50.980 not going to, no, I'm not going to tell you that you're a, you're a woman because you're 1.00

00:11:56.020 not, you, you just decided today that you're a woman and now I have to call you a woman. 1.00

00:12:01.880 No, no, because there's something called science.

00:12:06.880 No, that's the real movement.

00:12:11.140 That's the movement that is coming next and it will come from very brave people.

00:12:17.780 No, I'm not going to deny everything I know to be true.

00:12:22.640 Hmm.

00:12:23.620 No.

00:12:24.140 Yeah, but I really would like you to.

00:12:25.640 So you could just.

00:12:26.940 No.

00:12:27.620 Yeah.

00:12:27.760 But what I'm saying is I have a new idea.

00:12:30.120 No.

00:12:30.620 What if I say science a bunch of times?

00:12:32.340 Will you then?

00:12:32.940 No.

00:12:34.180 No, but I really.

00:12:35.260 Nope.

00:12:35.460 But I feel that my, no, my feelings, no, no, no, that is going to become the cry of the

00:12:45.840 revolution.

00:12:47.420 Hmm.

00:12:49.260 No, no.

00:12:50.680 The June Fed meeting is really, really, it doesn't work for a flag.

00:12:55.980 It really, it doesn't, no, but how would you spell?

00:13:00.120 No, no, no.

00:13:02.180 I mean, it's almost like, no, no, it's meh.

00:13:04.320 Yeah, but it is.

00:13:05.000 I mean, think about that.

00:13:06.220 Think of the power of that now.

00:13:07.700 Right now, you know, it's guns that are causing all the violence.

00:13:13.360 Hmm.

00:13:13.980 No, no.

00:13:15.960 Well, it's, uh, it's poverty that is causing Islam to be. 1.00

00:13:20.260 Hmm.

00:13:20.900 No.

00:13:22.680 Think of that.

00:13:23.560 That is revolutionary.

00:13:25.220 You are saying two plus two equals five.

00:13:28.520 Hmm.

00:13:29.340 No.

00:13:31.160 It doesn't.

00:13:32.000 It's going to be the most dangerous word spoken.

00:13:34.880 May it come from your lips.

00:13:38.720 June Fed meeting.

00:15:43.240 This is exactly what happened in Colorado.

00:15:50.000 Some people were pulled over.

00:15:51.680 They were finally, finally captured and they were in jail.

00:15:55.500 And the police said, so whose plan was this?

00:16:01.980 And they said, um, uh, it was a homeless guy, a homeless guy.

00:16:07.720 And he, he kind of forced us into this.

00:16:10.900 He forced us, he forced us, really?

00:16:13.680 Yeah, his name was McCoy or McKay or McKay, but I, I'm not sure exactly.

00:16:22.320 Well, what was his first name?

00:16:23.640 It was John, no, it was, it was, uh, Jason, it was Josh.

00:16:27.580 Yeah, Josh.

00:16:28.920 It was John, Jason, or Josh, McKay, McCoy, or something like that.

00:16:36.340 So the police take that and they find a guy named Joshua McKay.

00:16:44.220 Well, he was, he had to be the guy.

00:16:48.840 They swear out a search warrant for him.

00:16:51.440 I'm sorry, an arrest warrant.

00:16:59.060 They found him it just in the DMV, um, database.

00:17:04.140 And they took his photo to two of the witnesses and said, can you identify this man?

00:17:10.480 They're like, yeah, that's him.

00:17:13.120 John McCoy.

00:17:17.260 And they're like, no, it's Joshua McKay.

00:17:19.060 That was the name.

00:17:20.840 That was the name.

00:17:26.120 Well, he was 80 miles away.

00:17:28.360 And, uh, he was living with his wife and his infant son, his, he and his wife had a hard

00:17:36.420 time, uh, getting pregnant. 0.97

00:17:38.340 She had finally gotten pregnant, had this infant.

00:17:42.560 Uh, nobody tried contacting him.

00:17:48.720 And unfortunately, um, the DMV revoked his license.

00:17:55.380 So he thought, okay, well, this is a big mix up.

00:17:59.820 And he ended up, uh, in jail, arrested and forced to fight his, for his freedom in court.

00:18:10.460 He was just cleared of this and he's going to be joining us here in a second.

00:18:15.040 Can you imagine the case of mistaken identity when guys just are making something up?

00:18:22.680 Yeah, I think his name was, uh, Greg Glenn Burke back.

00:18:29.340 Yeah, that was it.

00:18:32.340 This is, uh, all the outstanding warrants on me are also false identity cases.

00:18:36.040 I'm going to make that clear.

00:18:37.840 Wait, there's a warrant.

00:18:39.700 Oh yeah.

00:18:40.540 I didn't.

00:18:41.540 They have some video that looks like I was there, but, uh, you know what?

00:18:46.080 Can I tell you something that when you say that now, that doesn't make any sense.

00:18:50.280 You say that in three years, they're going to have video on all of us.

00:18:55.500 It's amazing because we've talked about that so many times of how they can alter these things already.

00:19:00.080 Right.

00:19:00.600 They're already putting famous faces in porn movies.

00:19:03.720 I mean, imagine what's like a government could be capable of, uh, you know, if they really wanted to.

00:19:09.760 And there's, there's that effective period to be between where no one can fake video convincingly,

00:19:16.560 where we've been in the past and everyone can do it.

00:19:19.380 So there's not necessarily as much impact.

00:19:21.720 There's a, there's a window in between those two areas that we're about to hit.

00:19:25.740 That we're about to hit is going to be very scary where it will work every time it's tried.

00:19:30.520 And, and, you know, the fact that they, they're already creating apps to allow people to do these things at basic levels in a few years.

00:19:38.260 So it's bad, it's bad if you are accused and you're innocent, it's really, really bad.

00:19:46.200 But what is that also going to do for those who are guilty?

00:19:51.260 Will any, over time, will anyone believe, well, no, I saw it.

00:19:56.020 I saw it.

00:19:56.800 I, you won't be able to believe your eyes.

00:19:59.060 Now the director, Alfred Hitchcock made some of my favorite movies because in, in every movie it's there by the grace of God, go I in almost every single one of his movies.

00:20:13.400 It's an innocent guy just getting trapped into something that you're like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait a minute.

00:20:20.000 I'm not that guy.

00:20:21.140 One of my biggest fears, I don't know why, as a kid, I think is because I grew up, I don't think, do you remember Scared Straight, Stu?

00:20:32.320 Oh, yeah, sure.

00:20:32.780 Okay.

00:20:33.400 And that first came out in the 70s and I was coming of age in the 70s and I remember seeing, you know, my folks sitting down, you know, like, we're watching this prison show on ABC.

00:20:45.260 You know, like, okay, and I was always afraid that I was going to be wrongly accused and end up in prison somehow or another.

00:20:52.400 Well, the good news is, won't be wrongly excused.

00:20:55.460 I learned that from George Soros.

00:20:56.980 Anyway, it's your worst nightmare.

00:21:00.860 Well, that, that kind of happened and could have been a lot worse than it was to a guy named Joshua McKay.

00:21:08.520 He's with us now.

00:21:10.780 Welcome, Josh.

00:21:11.720 How are you?

00:21:13.220 I'm pretty good.

00:21:13.760 How about yourself, Glenn?

00:21:14.460 Good.

00:21:15.260 So, you're living in Colorado.

00:21:17.720 How old are you?

00:21:19.200 I'm 26 years old.

00:21:20.840 26 years old.

00:21:22.520 Tell me what happened to you.

00:21:25.500 So, back in September, we get a letter in the mail that my license, my driver's license is about to be revoked.

00:21:35.240 And I thought, that's odd.

00:21:37.080 Maybe there's some sort of mix-up at the DMV, maybe, you know.

00:21:40.640 And so, I called the number on the letter and the lady at the courthouse said, you know, is your name Joshua McKay, social security number, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot.

00:21:48.260 And I said, yes, ma'am.

00:21:49.420 And she says, sir, you need to hire a lawyer.

00:21:52.180 You have a felony warrant for your arrest.

00:21:54.120 And, you know, I thought, since it was through the DMV, that I had some sort of parking ticket or something, and that's why they were taking my license.

00:22:04.500 And so, the first thing I said was, oh, my gosh, how old are those parking tickets?

00:22:12.160 I don't think you get a felony for old parking tickets, but go ahead.

00:22:15.920 And, you know, and so, and we called around, and sure enough, it was an actual warrant.

00:22:21.700 And so, we couldn't get any information from the court systems or the sheriff's department on what was going on until the warrant got quashed.

00:22:30.200 So, we figured that the best thing we needed to do, I had to turn myself into jail to at least get the warrant quashed.

00:22:36.360 So, I spent a night in jail, still not knowing why I was being charged, but I knew there were felony warrants, a felony warrant.

00:22:44.640 And then, over the next eight to nine months, I want to say it was nine months, the prosecutor in our case just basically kicked the can down the road and didn't, you know, didn't bother to look at the evidence we'd provided him.

00:23:04.100 My lawyer, James Ahern, I mean, just sent him piles and piles upon evidence showing that I had an alibi, and the prosecutor just kicked the can down the road.

00:23:13.300 But wait, what were you accused of?

00:23:16.220 Okay, sorry.

00:23:17.760 I'm a podcast listener, so I wasn't sure how much you were talking about it before the break.

00:23:22.300 Yeah, no, we touched on it briefly.

00:23:24.240 Go ahead.

00:23:24.600 Okay, so, what had ended up happening was three kids were out driving and drunk and, you know, messing around.

00:23:36.680 They were 19, 20-year-old kids, and they ended up getting in a high-speed pursuit with the police.

00:23:43.200 And they outrun the cops.

00:23:46.480 They get away, but the officers are able to get a driver's license.

00:23:50.280 So, the deputies run the driver's license.

00:23:54.780 They show up at the house where that license plate is registered to, and they confront these kids who were driving.

00:24:01.020 And the officers say, you know, we want to talk about what happened last night.

00:24:04.900 And they all said, oh, yeah, it wasn't me driving.

00:24:08.420 It was our friend, you know.

00:24:10.280 And so, the officers say, well, what's your friend's name?

00:24:16.020 Oh, we don't know him that well.

00:24:18.380 I think his name was, like, Josh, or sometimes people called him Eric, and it was, like, McCoy or McCoon or McKay.

00:24:25.760 And the deputies go tip, tip, tip, tap in their computer, and they pull up my photo, and they say, is this the guy?

00:24:31.040 And they say, yep, yep, that's him.

00:24:32.800 And here I am.

00:24:35.300 So, your attorney just kind of dismisses your evidence.

00:24:45.440 Why?

00:24:46.620 No, no, no, no.

00:24:47.200 My attorney did a fantastic job.

00:24:50.700 The district attorney, the prosecutor, is the one who just dismissed all of the evidence.

00:24:58.240 Why?

00:24:58.680 He, the emails that we got back and my lawyer got back basically just said, I'm too busy.

00:25:08.760 I will look into this later.

00:25:10.620 Oh, okay.

00:25:11.640 All right.

00:25:12.240 I'm looking into this.

00:25:14.900 You know, I'll get around to it.

00:25:17.220 And James even, my lawyer, sorry, he even, you know, he took the opportunity on my first court date to say, look, you know, if, if, if prosecutor Whitfield's not going to answer my emails, then we'll just talk to him in court and talk to him in person.

00:25:35.640 Because he, you know, he can't leave there.

00:25:38.160 And we show up for my first court date.

00:25:39.980 And the prosecutor didn't even show up.

00:25:43.140 Wow.

00:25:43.540 He sent his, he sent his assistant.

00:25:45.100 What did the judge say?

00:25:49.460 Well, he, the judge sort of had no, you know, we, we made a motion for dismissal and we made a motion to, you know, remove the identification and all the things that lawyers do that are smarter than I am.

00:26:01.700 And, and the judge says, well, you know, I can't really proceed without the prosecutor present.

00:26:07.580 So, you know, I'll grant your motion to, you know, cause we had a motion to move to my new job in Utah.

00:26:14.060 And, you know, he granted all those motions, but said the prosecutor's not here.

00:26:17.800 I can't really proceed with the case.

00:26:19.000 So, see you next, see you in a couple months.

00:26:23.420 How unbelievably irresponsible.

00:26:26.240 So, what happened to the kids for making this false claim?

00:26:31.920 So, at first, nothing.

00:26:36.340 It wasn't until the local CBS affiliate who first covered my story, you know, put the, put my story on the news and it got picked up by CNN and it got picked up by the blaze that they made an arrest of the actual people driving.

00:26:53.760 And are they charged with making a false claim?

00:27:00.780 Yeah, they're, they're now in custody.

00:27:02.880 I'm not, I'm not privy to their specific charges and I'm sure you could look it up somewhere, but I do know that they're in custody.

00:27:11.540 Okay.

00:27:12.400 So, Josh, you have your life back.

00:27:14.980 How did it finally resolve?

00:27:18.540 Well, it's, it's sort of ongoing.

00:27:21.120 We, we did have the, Douglas County Sheriff's Spurlock reached out to us and, you know, we've gotten a sincere apology and they've made steps to, to make this right for us.

00:27:34.520 And, and, you know, the, the Douglas County Sheriff's Department at least has, has been absolutely 100%, you know, fantastic as far as realizing that they made this mistake and, and trying to make it right.

00:27:48.960 Yeah, everybody makes mistakes and it's great that they would come clean the, you know, and apologize.

00:27:55.700 The question is, what about the court system?

00:27:58.520 I mean, obviously the, the prosecutor has a real issue.

00:28:02.240 You can't just issue a warrant for somebody's arrest and then that person be denied a speedy trial.

00:28:09.400 Well, and, and, and, and the, the, the issue Glenn is, is constitutionally zero of my rights were violated.

00:28:20.120 I was offered by the court system's definition.

00:28:23.280 I was offered a speedy trial within six months of going to trial.

00:28:28.620 Wow.

00:28:29.100 Um, but that doesn't mean that, that doesn't mean that the cost didn't add up, you know, constitutionally I was allowed an attorney.

00:28:37.480 I was allowed the right not to perjure myself on the witness stand.

00:28:41.980 You, I mean, you know, your constitution better than anyone else here.

00:28:45.380 I was not denied any constitutional rights.

00:28:48.080 Um, and so, you know, as far as the, the district attorney office goes and, and all that, like, I don't know, I, it's, it's sort of this weird purgatory of, I wasn't denied any rights, but I was definitely, you know, we definitely had to pay for it.

00:29:06.900 And we're, you know, you're young and don't have a lot of money.

00:29:12.980 I would imagine, um, Josh, how's your wife doing and your baby?

00:29:18.260 My wife is doing fantastic.

00:29:20.220 In fact, she's sitting right next to me, uh, listening in.

00:29:22.500 Um, and my son is, uh, actually over at his aunt and uncle's house because I don't think I could do this interview without, uh, him in the background screaming and tearing stuff up.

00:29:32.040 Well, they're, they're amazing and they're a blessing.

00:29:34.120 That's great.

00:29:34.820 That's great.

00:29:35.360 And I'm, I understand that there were some, there, there was heat after the blaze article.

00:29:41.340 Um, some people started giving the sheriff's department heat and I'm sorry about that.

00:29:47.420 I, I mean, you know, you never know who's going to read and how people are going to react.

00:29:51.140 I hope the article didn't, uh, didn't feel that way to you, uh, or to the sheriff's department, because we know that they, uh, have apologized and they, they took care of business right away.

00:30:02.680 So I apologize for, you know, trolls.

00:30:05.920 Well, and, and I don't, I don't want you to, listen, I, I have no problem with demanding accountability in your state and local governments.

00:30:13.600 I have no problem with being disappointed with, you know, our elected officials.

00:30:17.820 That's what our country is supposed to be about.

00:30:20.640 Um, I, but I don't, I don't believe in hate, you know, if, if I could get any message out there, it would be that, you know, people make mistakes and these, our elected officials make mistakes, but that doesn't give us the right to live our lives in hate.

00:30:36.820 You know, love fulfills all God, all God's commandments.

00:30:40.840 That's, that's how I try to live my life.

00:30:42.920 And that's, I don't want anybody to be hateful on my behalf.

00:30:46.140 Joshua, good for you.

00:30:47.540 Uh, my, uh, my, uh, uh, greetings to your wife and to your, uh, newborn.

00:30:52.620 And, and, uh, hopefully this is the last brush you have with the police.

00:30:58.080 I mean, at least with, you know, mistaken identity.

00:31:01.800 If you do something wrong, I hope this isn't the only brush with, with police.

00:31:06.320 God bless.

00:31:07.080 Thanks so much.

00:31:07.780 Thank you so much.

00:31:08.400 God bless.

00:31:08.760 You bet.

00:31:09.060 Bye-bye.

00:31:12.920 Do you think that's, do you think that's a speedy trial?

00:31:21.780 I mean, with the court system backed up, it probably is a legal definition of it, right?

00:31:25.720 I don't, but he had to delay his job and his move, you know, imagine that hanging.

00:31:30.840 That's like, that's like, I know that doctors have to do this because tests take time, but

00:31:38.700 it's kind of like, Hey, we think you have cancer.

00:31:42.440 We're, we need you to come in tomorrow and take a test.

00:31:46.260 You take the test.

00:31:47.620 All right.

00:31:47.960 It'd be about 10 days before you, that 10 days is hell.

00:31:51.500 Yeah.

00:31:51.900 Yeah.

00:31:52.120 You know what I mean?

00:31:52.520 Six or eight months would be incredible.

00:31:54.840 Six or eight months of, of, you know, possibly you're a felon would be really, would be excruciating.

00:32:02.660 It feels like there's an example there to how to handle, as to how to handle something

00:32:06.540 like this though.

00:32:07.200 Obviously terrible mistake made at one point, but then you have, you know, a guy saying,

00:32:13.100 let's go through the process, right?

00:32:14.580 It goes through the process.

00:32:15.900 The sheriff's office steps in, does a good job making it right and doing whatever they

00:32:19.920 can.

00:32:20.600 There's no huge lawsuit story at the end of this.

00:32:23.700 I think they had a GoFundMe page to pay for legal expenses.

00:32:27.060 Once it, once the issue got taken care of, they took it down rather than trying to make

00:32:30.380 more money off of the publicity it was then generating.

00:32:33.660 I mean, there's a lot of positives to look at.

00:32:35.580 These guys are good, good people.

00:32:37.380 All right.

00:32:37.860 Tornadoes in Alabama, earthquake, volcano eruption in Hawaii, three earthquakes in four days off

00:32:45.100 the coast of Oregon.

00:32:47.260 I mean, I, may I just say, this is not part of the commercial.

00:32:51.000 This is just a, and this, I, may I approach the bench your honor and just point out.

00:32:55.660 But I've read this someplace before wars, rumors of wars, earthquakes, hurricanes, volcanoes.

00:33:09.160 Oh, I remember it's Al Gore's book.

00:34:20.980 So, uh, Benedict Cumberbatch, who I really, I really like, I think he's unbelievable.

00:34:26.940 I'm a fan of, uh, Sherlock and became a fan of his because of that.

00:34:30.720 Uh, he came out this weekend with a bizarre statement, I thought, I mean, it was, you know,

00:34:35.920 nice and it's, you know, it's his money and his career, whatever.

00:34:39.640 But he said he's committed to on taking projects only if his female co-stars receive equal pay.

00:34:50.020 He, he, he calls pay equality, a central tenant of feminism.

00:34:54.820 And he's proud to be one of the, um, to be the only one of two men at his production company.

00:35:03.620 Wait, wait, you're, you're proud that your production company has all women except for two men?

00:35:10.060 Wouldn't that, I mean, wait, what?

00:35:12.960 I don't know.

00:35:13.400 I'm such a feminist, Glenn.

00:35:15.140 Yes. 1.00

00:35:15.320 That I want all men executed. 0.99

00:35:16.860 Me too. 0.98

00:35:17.560 That's, that's a stance I'm taking.

00:35:19.200 I'm going to show you how pro woman I am by wiping every man off the face of the earth. 0.85

00:35:24.500 That would be you. 0.81

00:35:25.540 Yeah.

00:35:26.160 I'd show, then people would really not get mad at me if I ever talked to a woman in a way that it was inappropriate in the past.

00:35:33.720 Doesn't it just feel like, it was like, I swear I'm pro woman.

00:35:37.440 Don't me too me.

00:35:38.820 I promise.

00:35:40.060 I love women. 1.00

00:35:41.320 Look at me.

00:35:41.980 Equal pay.

00:35:42.940 Equal everything.

00:35:44.300 It's like, everyone's trying to make this big statement.

00:35:46.920 He said, if she's not paid the same as men, I'm not doing the picture.

00:35:52.500 Okay.

00:35:53.160 Hang on just a second.

00:35:54.040 Hang on.

00:35:54.920 All right.

00:35:56.820 First of all, you know, whatever.

00:35:59.560 That's cool.

00:36:01.060 But are you, is she bringing the same things to the table that you, Benedict Cumberbatch, are bringing?

00:36:09.420 Is she bringing a name, star power, and everything else that you're bringing to the table?

00:36:16.060 Right.

00:36:16.220 And you know what?

00:36:16.800 If, I mean, I don't know, Scarlett Johansson is a cross from you.

00:36:22.160 She should make more than you. 1.00

00:36:23.820 You're right.

00:36:24.840 Right.

00:36:25.260 Do you believe in, do you believe in equal pay?

00:36:27.720 If she's making more than you, she should make more than you because she's a bigger star than you, Benny.

00:36:32.540 I don't, I mean, I just, I don't understand this.

00:36:35.860 There are differences and they have nothing to do with gender.

00:36:43.120 Glenn Beck.

00:36:43.860 You know what's all the rage?

00:36:46.420 Gender reveal parties.

00:36:47.980 Now, if you're not familiar with these patriarchy just continues to roll over people, you might be thinking it's a celebration where a person announces, you know, their true gender to family and friends, where everybody eats cake and toast the person's pending sex change surgery to become he or she or it, you know, who they've really been the whole time.

00:37:11.640 And it's just the enlightened way to go.

00:37:15.720 But no, that's not what's happening.

00:37:17.640 A gender reveal party is one where parents discover the sex of their own unborn baby and then pronounce it, not asking for permission. 0.91

00:37:27.900 Now, most of these parties now are including an element of surprise for the parents, family and friends and attendants as they find out the first time whether they're having a boy or a girl as if they know.

00:37:39.560 Gender reveal parties are a booming industry fueled by social media, expecting parents now must one up each other in intention, grabbing ways to announce their baby's gender.

00:37:52.280 Oh, my gosh, I can't keep saying this.

00:37:54.720 Event planners in Washington, D.C. are seeing gender reveal parties that cost up to twenty five thousand dollars.

00:38:01.520 Last week, a couple in Maryland arranged for a Ferris wheel to light up in the color of their baby's sex.

00:38:07.920 Is it going to be pink for a girl? 0.97

00:38:10.280 Oh, my gosh, pink for a girl. 0.55

00:38:12.840 What's next?

00:38:13.500 Blue for a boy.

00:38:14.840 How dare you?

00:38:17.040 As The Washington Post reported yesterday, some experts.

00:38:21.460 I'd like to put myself in this category.

00:38:24.320 After all, I am a doctor.

00:38:26.980 Experts are appalled by this gender reveal party trend. 1.00

00:38:32.640 And I think the experts are on to something. 0.99

00:38:34.780 How can modern parents be so narrow minded to think that they can actually identify their child's gender because they do or do not have a penis? 1.00

00:38:49.420 It is despicable. 0.99

00:38:51.420 It's the modern parent's job to be as gender neutral as possible.

00:38:57.600 So you don't unfairly tip the gender balance one way or another for your child.

00:39:03.420 At least have the decency to wait until they're four or five years old when they're capable of making up their own mind of who they are.

00:39:13.140 Old enough to decide for itself whether it's a boy or a girl. 0.62

00:39:18.620 Give the child a chance.

00:39:21.240 A name.

00:39:22.220 Give the child a number until they're at least six.

00:39:25.640 And make sure it's a gender neutral number.

00:39:29.340 What are we, cave people?

00:39:31.980 To think that we can know if someone's a boy or a girl because we have, oh, I guess we got that fancy medical technology.

00:39:38.420 This is crazy.

00:39:41.180 These gender reveal parties are grotesque. 1.00

00:39:45.180 If playing Mozart for a baby while it's in the womb can make it smarter.

00:39:50.220 Can you imagine what the brainwashing it undergoes when it hears mom and dad talking about which gender it is?

00:39:58.080 Oh, I'm about to weep for the child.

00:40:02.800 In highlighting this gender reveal party controversy, the Washington Post also referred to unborn babies throughout the piece as babies.

00:40:13.900 What?

00:40:15.800 What?

00:40:17.840 I expect a little more from a progressive media outlet like this.

00:40:22.760 Don't they remember the hard and fast rule that humans in the womb are not babies?

00:40:28.400 Certainly not babies with specific gender.

00:40:30.840 They're their fetuses, which is just a clump of cells.

00:40:34.820 Where's the consistency here?

00:40:38.560 As the Post likes to remind us on a never ending basis, democracy may die in the darkness, but not as fast as common sense dies in progressivism.

00:40:51.900 It's Monday, May 14th.

00:41:00.380 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:41:05.560 All right.

00:41:09.220 There is a new story out.

00:41:11.180 Residents in Maryland and Virginia are going to face a slight increase in premiums for individual Obamacare plans in 2019.

00:41:23.200 We're only letting you know this early because if you have it, you might want to save up just a little bit.

00:41:29.080 But Virginia is getting a 64 percent increase.

00:41:34.860 And in Maryland, it's a little bit better or worse, depending on which way you want to look at it.

00:41:41.720 Who am I to judge?

00:41:42.940 If you have Obamacare in Maryland, you're getting a 91 percent increase in your premiums.

00:41:49.080 So, that's good, right, Stu?

00:41:54.280 Right?

00:41:54.800 Oh, my gosh.

00:41:55.440 High numbers like that are always good.

00:41:56.740 Right.

00:41:57.200 91 percent.

00:41:58.120 People must love it.

00:41:59.280 91 percent increase because you can't just charge people more than 91 percent more for something that they don't absolutely love.

00:42:08.320 Oh, of course not.

00:42:09.240 Unless you, I don't know, maybe legally require them to buy it or something.

00:42:12.860 Yeah, or, you know, you were on your way to a single payer health system.

00:42:18.100 But, you know, the the single payer health system is coming.

00:42:23.220 And with that comes, dare I say it, death panels.

00:42:28.100 I read a story today about somebody who I think needed a liver transplant.

00:42:37.360 And the the insurance company said no.

00:42:42.520 And so what did the family do?

00:42:44.540 Well, they wrote a very open op ed and a open letter to the insurance company saying, please, please, please.

00:42:53.200 And it looks like that may be turned around for them now.

00:42:57.800 Why?

00:42:58.420 Because private companies, you know, don't like negative publicity.

00:43:03.700 Governments don't care. 0.99

00:43:05.260 Sarah Gonzalez is with us now, the host of the news and why it matters to tell us a story about something that happened here in Texas that is absolutely incredible.

00:43:17.160 Hi, Sarah.

00:43:18.100 Hi, Glenn.

00:43:19.320 So there was a gentleman by the name of Chris Dunn.

00:43:22.420 He lived outside of Houston, small town, Pasadena.

00:43:25.440 He had severe abdominal pain, so it got so bad.

00:43:28.940 He finally went to the hospital and they ran some tests.

00:43:33.100 They found a mass on his pancreas.

00:43:35.100 They sent him home with, you know, some pain meds.

00:43:37.820 He was uninsured, so he didn't want to, you know, do anything else at that time.

00:43:42.000 He said, let me just we'll figure out how to take care of it.

00:43:44.800 He applied for a Harris County gold card, which was what the people who didn't have a lot of money,

00:43:50.040 they could apply for that within their county and they can try to get, you know, some type of insurance.

00:43:55.020 So he's waiting for that.

00:43:56.600 He becomes too ill.

00:43:58.020 He's vomiting blood.

00:43:58.800 He goes back to the hospital where they put him on a ventilator.

00:44:02.000 No one was really sure why they were so quick to put him on a ventilator, but they put him on a ventilator,

00:44:06.560 transferred him to Houston Methodist.

00:44:08.740 Bigger hospital, you know, more capable of handling something like this.

00:44:12.500 They can run more tests, lab work.

00:44:14.680 So he goes into Houston Methodist.

00:44:17.360 And according to his mom, who I spoke with at the time, this was in 2015, his mom said

00:44:24.160 that a doctor, a world-renowned doctor, she will never forget his name, she says, came into the room

00:44:30.100 and he said, we're going to operate on Chris tomorrow.

00:44:34.300 I'm going to get, you know, I'm going to get it out.

00:44:36.100 If I have to take a little bit of his small intestine as well, that's okay.

00:44:39.260 But we're going to see what it is.

00:44:41.080 And if we need to take it out, we're going to take it out.

00:44:43.400 And she said, I didn't know that you could live without a pancreas. 0.90

00:44:47.800 And he said, you can live without a pancreas.

00:44:49.620 You'll just, you'll need insulin.

00:44:51.260 You'll be a diabetic for the rest of your life, but you can live without a pancreas.

00:44:54.120 Now, when she told me that, I didn't even realize it.

00:44:56.020 I looked it up to verify.

00:44:57.500 So you can live without a pancreas. 0.95

00:44:59.300 That would be, that's part of my Glenn Beck weight loss.

00:45:02.540 Yeah.

00:45:02.960 Just start removing organs. 0.71

00:45:03.740 Just start removing, yeah.

00:45:04.720 So you start to look a little thinner, but go ahead.

00:45:06.940 So apparently that doctor never showed up and things changed drastically for them.

00:45:12.720 What do you mean that doctor never showed up?

00:45:14.500 Well, I mean, she said, Sarah, I never saw him again.

00:45:18.700 He came into the room.

00:45:20.140 He told me, you know, they were going to operate.

00:45:22.240 And I don't know why, but I never saw him again.

00:45:25.340 So something changed from the time that, you know, he was admitted.

00:45:28.240 Of course, she thinks that it's because that doctor found out that he was uninsured, but

00:45:33.640 you know, we don't know.

00:45:35.160 So, um, you know, so Chris is there.

00:45:37.460 They, they never bothered to confirm any kind of cancer diagnosis, anything like that.

00:45:41.520 They just assumed that since it was a mass, it was cancer.

00:45:44.580 Um, and after, you know, I think it was eight weeks that he was on this ventilator with no

00:45:50.060 one really bothering to do any further testing, any further diagnosis.

00:45:53.860 Um, the hospital board walks into Chris's room and hands Evelyn a letter, uh, Chris's

00:46:00.560 mom, Evelyn, and they say, um, we are turning off his machines in 10 days.

00:46:07.060 And she says, I don't, you, you can't do that.

00:46:10.880 Who gives you the right to do that?

00:46:12.640 And, um, the gentleman in charge said George W. Bush does.

00:46:17.140 So there is a law and it is called the Texas Advanced Directives Act.

00:46:21.780 And it gives the doctors the ability to give 10 days written notice and they can turn off

00:46:28.220 your machine for any reason they determine if they say that it's futile care.

00:46:33.440 Now, legally, they don't have, um, a responsibility to inform the, uh, the family or the patient

00:46:40.580 whether or not the reason has anything to do with finances, any financial type of reason,

00:46:46.220 nothing.

00:46:46.800 They have no legal responsibility to tell them what reason it is.

00:46:50.140 They just have to get together as a board and determine that it's futile care and they

00:46:55.080 can give you 10 days and they can turn your machines off in Texas.

00:46:59.160 Okay.

00:46:59.740 So now was he, was he still aware at this time?

00:47:03.980 He, there is video of him out there.

00:47:06.220 He was still conscious.

00:47:07.380 He was still coherent.

00:47:08.440 He was literally begging for his life.

00:47:11.380 They were asking him, they have him on video saying, Chris, do you want to live?

00:47:14.800 And he puts his hands together and he's begging them to keep him alive.

00:47:20.460 He knew exactly what was going on.

00:47:23.480 So what happened?

00:47:25.480 What happened next?

00:47:26.560 So, uh, the family got in contact with Texas right to life and Texas right to life, uh,

00:47:32.760 worked with them.

00:47:33.740 They filed, you know, an injunction.

00:47:35.420 They asked for a, a two week extension, uh, took it to court.

00:47:39.180 The court allowed them the two week extension.

00:47:42.000 So they're busy trying to, you know, fight to keep Chris alive, to keep him on the machines,

00:47:46.960 to try to figure out, you know, at this point there, he's been on the machine eight weeks.

00:47:51.640 His lungs can't breathe on their own anymore.

00:47:54.460 And they actually, the family had a pulmonary, um, technician come in and tell them, quite frankly,

00:48:00.960 I have no idea why they had him on this machine for this long.

00:48:04.280 After two to three weeks, you, you're not supposed to keep them on.

00:48:06.980 Yeah, you're, once you train your body, it's like, uh, taking, um, uh, painkillers.

00:48:13.820 Right.

00:48:13.960 Your body stops making its natural painkiller.

00:48:17.780 Right.

00:48:18.320 And if you, if you are on a breathing machine after so long, you don't, you no longer breathe

00:48:23.640 on your own.

00:48:24.240 Right.

00:48:24.800 So, you know, they had, so why did they put him on the machine in the first place?

00:48:28.520 They never told them why they never gave them an explanation of why they put him on the

00:48:32.720 machine in the first place.

00:48:34.380 So was he having problems breathing?

00:48:36.260 Uh, no, lung, lung function was never, never his problem.

00:48:41.060 The ventilator, the, it would, they put it in and lung function was never his problem.

00:48:45.320 And they, I mean, she, the family specifically told me in 2015 at the time that it was happening,

00:48:50.380 they were never given a reason by the Pasadena hospital.

00:48:53.800 Do you think this is their way of killing him?

00:48:57.360 Yes, I do. 0.94

00:48:59.020 Does the family?

00:49:00.080 Yes.

00:49:00.420 Wow.

00:49:03.220 Yeah.

00:49:03.460 So, so now he didn't, um, he didn't actually, they never got a chance to turn off his machines

00:49:09.100 because this got stuck in court and he actually ended up, you know, no one's treating whatever

00:49:15.080 this mass is.

00:49:15.960 No one's trying to treat it or find out what it is.

00:49:17.900 And he did end up going into organ failure, but he was alive for eight weeks.

00:49:21.560 They told him when he came into Houston Methodist that he only had two to three weeks to live

00:49:26.460 and he was just going to die. 0.52

00:49:27.740 And he didn't, and they didn't want to do anything about it.

00:49:30.620 Try to figure out why he was still alive, anything like that.

00:49:33.560 So Chris died while they were, while they were in battle in court, but this law is on the

00:49:38.660 books.

00:49:38.960 And if this family had not found Texas right to life and gotten them involved, he, he

00:49:44.200 would have been gone in 10 days.

00:49:46.000 What's amazing about the stories we've talked about, you know, Charlie Gard and these stories

00:49:49.960 where these, you know, other countries.

00:49:52.640 And we think this, imagine if we don't act, this is going to come here.

00:49:56.800 It already is.

00:49:57.580 And you brought this up on the news and why it matters when we were talking about the last

00:50:00.840 one of these stories where it actually is here.

00:50:03.700 This is not a baby, which, you know, is just, as we all know, a fetus a couple of weeks later.

00:50:10.600 That's just a fetus. 0.95

00:50:11.960 And a couple of weeks after that, it turns into something else, which has very limited

00:50:15.560 value to half of the country.

00:50:17.160 Seemingly, this is a, an adult that's conscious.

00:50:20.900 That's, that's, that's communicating.

00:50:23.300 And it's still happened in Texas.

00:50:25.740 Yes.

00:50:26.180 That is how far the, the culture has, has moved.

00:50:29.720 And do you remember when we were fighting the Terry Schiavo things, Stu, when we were

00:50:34.180 fighting Terry Schiavo, I remember having the arguments on the air with people who said,

00:50:40.880 shut it down.

00:50:41.700 You know, you don't know what she wanted.

00:50:44.400 That was the excuse at the time because she was, they said, brain dead and you couldn't

00:50:51.500 communicate.

00:50:52.220 Well, okay, this guy could communicate.

00:50:58.680 This is a death panel.

00:51:00.500 You don't have the money.

00:51:02.160 You don't have insurance.

00:51:03.680 And if you think that, well, that's because there isn't universal health insurance.

00:51:08.960 Oh, so we can then do what they're doing over in Europe and in the UK, which is just saying

00:51:16.460 your life isn't worth living.

00:51:18.120 You're going to cost too much money.

00:51:20.260 You know, I remember making this argument at the time.

00:51:26.260 There aren't any, but there, there weren't people dying on the streets.

00:51:29.880 Okay.

00:51:30.440 If you go to a hospital, the hospital is required to treat you.

00:51:34.100 Okay.

00:51:34.680 It was causing all kinds of problems, but that's a better problem to have than just saying,

00:51:41.700 well, you know what?

00:51:42.520 If you don't have the money, you don't get treated.

00:51:44.680 Even that is, is more fair if you can find the money for another, in other words, if

00:51:54.080 I can go, you know, uh, online and, and start a, you know, some, some sort of a movement

00:51:59.840 where people are sending me money so I can get my loved one to have, that's better than

00:52:05.940 having a government just say, nope, because you have no recourse, none.

00:52:11.780 And that's the one we're rushing towards.

00:52:13.720 The fact that this is happening under multiple different kinds of systems shows, it's not

00:52:17.660 an actuarial problem, right?

00:52:19.260 This is not a pro, this is a problem of how we respect life as human beings.

00:52:24.140 This is bigger than like, oh, well, you know, this charge on this insurance plan and we

00:52:28.280 could solve it with this piece of legislation.

00:52:30.340 We should change the law, you know, that you're talking about here for sure, because it just

00:52:34.680 has obvious negative consequences.

00:52:36.460 But I mean, look at, we just don't, this whole pursuit of life, the life, liberty, and the

00:52:41.620 pursuit of happiness, a lot of that seems to just be out the window at this point.

00:52:45.120 Yes.

00:52:45.820 And that is a much deeper societal problem.

00:52:48.740 Yes.

00:52:49.260 Than some healthcare policy.

00:52:50.820 I will tell you in about 10 minutes, I'm going to tell you, so we just now, you don't

00:52:55.000 have a right to life.

00:52:57.380 Liberty.

00:52:57.780 We still kind of have that, but property, pursuit of happiness is the other one.

00:53:04.300 That's about to go to the wayside.

00:53:05.980 Wait until I show you what the Fed just suggested for the pensions in Chicago.

00:53:11.860 Property.

00:53:13.320 Nope.

00:53:14.700 It's unbelievable.

00:53:15.860 We'll do that in just a second.

00:53:17.280 Sarah, thank you so much.

00:53:18.480 We'll talk to you the news and why it matters today at 530, immediately following my program,

00:53:24.580 which we have a chalkboard series begins today.

00:53:28.320 Yeah.

00:53:28.500 Talking about the, the rise of progressivism in the form of presidential overreach of how

00:53:33.940 progressives have for the last century or so changed the way the founders really intended

00:53:41.280 that whole branch to be.

00:53:42.600 And you're going to be amazed at where we begin because we begin with the founders tonight

00:53:49.940 only at five o'clock on the blaze.com slash TV.

00:53:56.200 All right.

00:53:57.000 Watch out for links being sent via Facebook messenger.

00:54:00.160 According to a leading cybersecurity firm, they may contain what's called face X worm malware.

00:54:07.240 If you click on the malware link, you're going to be taken to a fake YouTube page in which

00:54:12.120 you'll try to get you to install a browser extension.

00:54:14.700 From there, it can steal passwords, cryptocurrency funds, such as Bitcoin or personal computers

00:54:21.060 for cryptocurrency mining mining.

00:54:24.040 There are so many threats in today's connected world.

00:54:27.040 It takes one week link for criminals to get in.

00:55:15.220 Do you own your house or do you rent your house?

00:55:20.940 Now that's, that's a, you know, that's a one question of a little, well, I know I bought

00:55:25.660 my house.

00:55:26.220 I have a mortgage for my house.

00:55:27.300 No, no, no.

00:55:28.480 No, I'm asking that only for those who have actually signed mortgage papers.

00:55:33.420 Do you rent your house or do you, do you own your house?

00:55:38.980 I always thought a mortgage was really just a rent to own.

00:55:42.740 Let's say you pay it off 30 years down the road.

00:55:45.780 You've paid it off.

00:55:46.780 Okay.

00:55:47.400 Do you own your house or do you rent your house?

00:55:49.380 Then you own it, right?

00:55:50.860 Hmm.

00:55:51.580 Do you?

00:55:52.820 Well, you just have to pay the taxes.

00:55:55.760 Oh, what?

00:55:56.680 The taxes.

00:55:58.340 Oh, but.

00:55:59.220 The property taxes.

00:56:00.240 Yeah.

00:56:00.460 Why?

00:56:00.960 What is that?

00:56:01.480 That's, is that rent so I can live on the property that I own?

00:56:08.680 Hmm.

00:56:09.200 It's an interesting question because it's yours, but it's not really yours because if

00:56:14.820 I don't pay the tax, what happens?

00:56:20.720 This is an important question and one that many, many Americans are going to start

00:56:25.480 asking themselves, especially if you live in Illinois.

00:56:29.480 Something that is in the newspaper that, uh, isn't getting an awful lot of attention, but

00:56:36.380 should next.

00:56:37.560 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:56:43.460 The sun did not shine.

00:56:45.420 It was too wet to play.

00:56:47.940 People sat in their houses all that cold, cold, wet day.

00:56:52.680 Too wet to go out.

00:56:53.820 Too wet to play ball.

00:56:54.880 So people sat in their houses doing nothing at all.

00:56:57.680 And then something went bump.

00:57:00.600 And that bump made us jump.

00:57:04.060 Someone was indeed out somewhere out in the muck.

00:57:07.860 Yes, out braving that cold wind and gray of the city, right at 230 LaSalle Street on the

00:57:14.840 third floor of the building.

00:57:16.340 A group of men gathered there, sitting around a big table with suits and voices as gray as

00:57:23.300 they were able.

00:57:24.780 A sign on the door read gravely, pension reform, with a question asked after, what lies ahead?

00:57:32.000 One said, I know some good games we can play.

00:57:35.040 I know some new tricks, he said to the group.

00:57:37.500 A lot of good tricks.

00:57:39.040 I will show them to you, and your mother and father will not mind if I do.

00:57:46.760 Yes, it was April 17th, and a man did stand in a room.

00:57:51.800 And something went bump, but not many people heard.

00:57:56.980 230 LaSalle Street is the Federal Reserve Building in Chicago, and he spoke to a group

00:58:02.820 of luminaries that were federal board members.

00:58:05.200 There was the state governor, the county commissioner, the mayor of Chicago, just to name a few.

00:58:11.140 All of them were there to discuss one topic.

00:58:14.120 How do we handle the crumbling, insolvent pension system of the state of Illinois and the city

00:58:21.440 of Chicago within Cook County?

00:58:23.860 At all levels of government, pensions were dramatically underfunded, collectively facing

00:58:29.020 shortfalls of $150 billion as of today.

00:58:33.920 The state pension by itself is underfunded by $112 billion and growing at a rate of $20

00:58:41.940 million of unfunded promises every single day.

00:58:46.340 Where are they going to get this money?

00:58:49.320 Every day in Illinois, 1,400 baby boomers reach retirement age every day.

00:58:57.460 According to the Illinois Policy Institute, with more workers leaving the workforce than entering

00:59:03.840 it, the pension gap is going to grow to over $130 billion by 2024.

00:59:11.100 But there is hope.

00:59:13.360 It's the Federal Reserve.

00:59:16.220 You see, on April 17th, an idea was floated by the Federal Reserve that went bump.

00:59:22.780 Since Illinois already has one of the nation's highest state income taxes, you can't, you

00:59:31.860 cannot tax people more, right?

00:59:35.600 Where else could revenues be raised to cover the promises made by the government to millions

00:59:40.640 of state, county, and municipal employees to provide them full pay during their retirement?

00:59:47.880 Well, that's when somebody stood up from the Federal Reserve.

00:59:52.860 It's simple.

00:59:54.640 We can't tax incomes anymore.

00:59:56.720 We need to raise the property tax as well.

01:00:01.040 This new proposal is to add an additional 1% annual tax on the value of all homes and real

01:00:08.040 estate.

01:00:08.520 Now, Illinois already has the highest property tax rate in the United States.

01:00:13.420 It averages 2.5% across the state, but adding another 1%, that's no big deal.

01:00:20.600 I mean, people won't even notice it, right?

01:00:25.200 Imagine you're a retired factory worker.

01:00:27.480 You're living on a fixed income in a home with a value of $315,000.

01:00:32.840 You currently pay property taxes every year of $7,465.

01:00:38.360 But to cover the current $150 billion pension shortfall, the Federal Reserve is recommending

01:00:46.120 that you now pay a property tax of $10,710 a year.

01:00:52.600 That amounts to a 41% tax increase on every homeowner, every farmer, every rental property

01:01:00.740 owner in the entire state.

01:01:03.540 $892 per month.

01:01:08.360 Now, how are you going to do that on a fixed income?

01:01:10.680 That was probably what you paid for that mortgage on your house.

01:01:17.500 Under the Fed's new program to cover overbloated pensions, the residents of Illinois are basically

01:01:23.380 being asked to buy their homes all over again, except not really buy them.

01:01:28.500 Because buying implies that you own it and you have possession of it.

01:01:32.960 But this is more of renting every month for the rest of your life with no additional equity,

01:01:39.680 no real ownership, because under this program, you don't own your property because the government

01:01:46.140 does.

01:01:46.780 You're a serf.

01:01:48.280 You're being asked to pay the government for the privilege of living on land that you paid

01:01:53.980 for.

01:01:54.440 And then living inside the home that you paid for.

01:02:00.260 Oh, that's too harsh.

01:02:02.100 That's not right.

01:02:03.900 You think it's not true?

01:02:06.580 Miss a few payments.

01:02:08.200 What happens?

01:02:08.820 To get the taxes, the rent you now owe them for your own land, the government will just

01:02:16.340 take your home, sell it off to pay the taxes, keep their share and give you whatever remains

01:02:22.220 after ye olde tax collector has filled the government's coffers.

01:02:30.060 Wait a minute.

01:02:30.780 It's my land.

01:02:31.420 No, it's not.

01:02:32.760 No, it's not.

01:02:34.280 You know, we had Bill O'Reilly on the show last Friday.

01:02:36.620 And do you remember what he said?

01:02:37.600 He said the government has got itself so far in debt, taxing income no longer works.

01:02:43.620 Even if they tax the tax incomes of 70, 80, 90 percent, it will not raise enough money

01:02:50.120 to cover the empty promises that they have made.

01:02:53.180 So they have to start confiscating resources from wherever they can get them.

01:02:59.620 Most people's wealth wealth is in their homes.

01:03:02.460 The family home represents the largest single investment and asset for over 85 Americans.

01:03:10.540 Bill O'Reilly said it plainly last Friday.

01:03:13.240 Most Americans don't realize and haven't yet accepted that the government will come for you.

01:03:18.320 They will take your home to pay for their promises.

01:03:21.600 As crazy as that sounded on Friday, here it is.

01:03:28.620 We have it actually proposed by the Federal Reserve of Chicago to go beyond taxing income

01:03:35.380 and start confiscating the American dream, the family home, the farms, the corner store.

01:03:41.840 You want to know what's funny about this or sad?

01:03:47.660 I'm not sure anymore.

01:03:48.620 According to the Federal Reserve's proposal, the 41 percent property tax increase on property

01:03:57.980 owners in Illinois will only cover the first five to seven years of the pension shortfall

01:04:03.300 for the state's largest four pensions.

01:04:06.600 That's it.

01:04:07.980 So confiscating the wealth and property of Illinois property owners only kicks the can down the road

01:04:13.020 about five years.

01:04:14.760 But don't worry, they'll have a fix for that.

01:04:19.260 In five to seven years, they'll add just another one or two percent to the property tax rate.

01:04:24.700 And if you can't afford it, then, well, they'll just take your home.

01:04:31.180 Oh, dear, said the man.

01:04:33.260 You did not like our game.

01:04:35.100 Oh, dear.

01:04:35.920 What a shame.

01:04:36.880 What a shame.

01:04:37.740 What a shame.

01:04:38.740 And with a huff and a bump, the man was indeed gone.

01:04:43.980 That is good he is gone.

01:04:46.840 He has gone.

01:04:47.920 Gone away.

01:04:49.540 But your mother will come home and she will find this big mess.

01:04:53.160 And this mess is so big and so deep and so tall.

01:04:57.800 We cannot pick it up.

01:05:00.560 There is no way at all.

01:05:03.600 By the way, so you know, when the Chicago Reserve unveiled its solution, apparently in the room there was an audible gasp.

01:05:23.600 But they'll get used to it.

01:05:30.780 They'll get used to it.

01:05:31.960 All right.

01:05:35.140 I want to share some feedback from the from our partners at Palm Beach, the Palm Beach letter and Tika Tiwari's crypto course.

01:05:42.760 Ninety seven percent of the listeners that he has given his crypto course have rated it four to five stars.

01:05:51.120 Ninety seven percent.

01:05:52.260 Here's some of the comments.

01:05:53.160 The lessons are easy to understand and straight to the point.

01:05:56.300 It helps me understand how to go about investing in crypto currencies as well as blockchain check technology.

01:06:03.000 Thank you for the good work.

01:06:04.520 Well done.

01:06:05.780 Another one.

01:06:06.660 I was very satisfied with these lessons, especially lessons five and six, which clarified some misconceptions I had about buying and selling crypto currencies.

01:06:14.800 Thank you guys for these valuable tools to learn more about the new way of investing.

01:06:21.060 This is this is everything that you need to know when it comes to investing in cryptocurrency.

01:06:27.620 It's confusing.

01:06:29.140 You don't like how do I even find this?

01:06:31.960 How do how do I buy it?

01:06:33.980 How do I sell it?

01:06:34.940 Especially when you go off of the top three or four available options and you go deeper than that.

01:06:40.040 And people have no idea.

01:06:41.260 Yeah.

01:06:41.480 And they and the top three or four are pretty stable now to really make the money.

01:06:46.780 You've got to go find these these other ones.

01:06:48.780 And there's hundreds of them.

01:06:50.940 How do I find them?

01:06:51.840 How do I buy them?

01:06:52.580 How do I sell them?

01:06:53.400 What does it mean?

01:06:54.180 Which ones?

01:06:55.400 It's a big deal.

01:06:56.400 What is blockchain?

01:06:58.480 You need the smart crypto course dot com.

01:07:01.680 This is something that we had put together for us at the Palm Beach Research Group.

01:07:07.880 And it's a course that will just give you all of the basics and help you understand the world that is coming your way.

01:07:16.020 Smart crypto course dot com.

01:07:18.140 Go there now.

01:07:19.720 Smart crypto course dot com.

01:07:22.340 So a few weeks ago, we had a program called Make America Dinner Again, and we invited everybody from the political spectrum.

01:07:33.320 And the idea was, let's not talk about politics first.

01:07:36.900 Let's just get to know each other as human beings.

01:07:39.460 Then we'll talk about, you know, policies and what's going on.

01:07:42.480 Well, there's one one guy at the at the dinner.

01:07:45.900 I mean, he's probably twenty five, twenty eight years old.

01:07:47.980 He's super libertarian, really good guy.

01:07:51.920 He's a musician.

01:07:53.300 Well, in the Dallas Observer today, there's a story.

01:07:58.020 And I love this.

01:08:00.060 Glenn Beck is really a nice guy.

01:08:01.960 And I know I had dinner with him.

01:08:05.420 Listen, listen to what he says.

01:08:07.460 And for anybody who says, oh, we shouldn't, we're never going to convince anybody.

01:08:13.160 Just listen to this.

01:08:15.380 Glenn Beck's a really nice guy.

01:08:16.820 I can remember sitting up on school nights with my conservative parents watching Fox News each night.

01:08:21.320 This chair of face, baritone voice, middle aged man with silvery blonde hair would work my family and millions of others like mine around the country into near frenzies of paranoia as he scribbled gibberish, gibberish diligently on his chalkboard with a team of experts to uncover what he considered the hidden truth.

01:08:37.460 Did you know FDR was pen pals with Mussolini?

01:08:41.860 Oh, yes, I did.

01:08:43.240 Did you know the progressive left of the 1930s were friendly with the Nazis?

01:08:47.340 Did you know the founding fathers weren't all racist who loved slavery?

01:08:51.400 These were the kind of real humdingers that middle America thrived on in the age of Obama, when conservatives like my parents desperately wanted to believe that his reign was a secret plot from Satan to destroy the universe.

01:09:04.640 My parents would sit wide eyed and receptive like diligent students excited for the chance to know something that maybe their neighbors didn't.

01:09:11.640 I later often modeled my social media presence after after the sensationalism like Beck's long rants on Facebook about history, the dangers of socialism, problems with the military industrial complex and even, yes, conspiracies about the Federal Reserve and 9-11.

01:09:29.280 Even embarrassingly, a large part of my school media post in my 20s. 0.95

01:09:33.840 Well, I could have helped you on that one, but I made a lot of Facebook fanboys and girls who followed my boys post and a lot of people thought I was an idiot.

01:09:41.460 It was a real shock when I received a phone call from two-time Emmy nominee Riaz Patel, a producer, asking if I wanted to have dinner with Beck and some different-minded people to chat about the world's problems.

01:09:54.480 Apparently, one of the show's producers had read my Facebook page.

01:09:58.020 Patel is, in his own words, the poster boy for modern liberal Americans, a married gay man with two small children who, after Trump's election, spent the last year and a half trying to learn as much as he could about the political landscape to the right.

01:10:10.520 Not surprisingly, that journey landed him at Beck's doorstep, and the two men had become great friends as well as co-producers on many of the Blaze's newest offerings.

01:10:19.720 Patel's most recent idea was to partner with a group called Make America Dinner Again, which small dinners are filmed as people from all walks of life discuss their differences over a meal.

01:10:30.080 I was invited to Beck's studios in Irving along with a transgendered man, a liberal college professor, a conservative Christian, a Venezuelan immigration activist, and a radio DJ from K-104.

01:10:43.100 I was to fill the role of the young white libertarian musician who likes to talk a little bit about everything.

01:10:49.280 When I arrived at the studios, Patel and Beck's staff met me with open arms, serving me as much coffee and snacks as I wanted while I waited for the other guests to arrive.

01:10:56.760 None of us had ever met. After makeup and getting outfitted with Mike's, Beck finally walked out to the dinner table to greet all of us.

01:11:04.980 He's taller than I had imagined, the edge of his shoulders towering slightly above the top of my head.

01:11:10.620 He shook my hand and said he was glad to meet me and was excited to hear what I had to say.

01:11:15.440 Don't worry about being too intellectual, he said. Be as intellectual as you want.

01:11:18.800 The dinner began with a prayer from Trenton, the transgendered man, and we started passing around food prepared by Beck's chef.

01:11:27.440 Patel and Beck began asking the group a series of general questions about the current events and the feelings we had about political minefield that is America today.

01:11:37.160 Beck seemed conscious of adding follow-up questions designed for each individual at the table.

01:11:41.100 Many subjects wandered and blended into others. Questions about personal feelings became discussions about technical economics.

01:11:47.880 Questions about democracy became discussions about religion. Worries about gun violence became discussions about the threats of terrorism.

01:11:54.760 The socialist college professor across the table from me quickly became the most outspoken and impassioned about his sureness of the validity of his proposed solutions. 0.84

01:12:03.660 He seemed to imply, often, that anyone on the right who disagreed with it was foolish and just buying into propaganda.

01:12:11.880 He remarked, to a cross-look from Beck, that Fox News was really just an arm of propaganda for the state.

01:12:19.460 Beck chuckled and redirected the conversation back to its original point.

01:12:23.440 But the most moving moment was when Trenton opened up about his struggles.

01:12:27.260 He and I had spent some time before the dinner talking about our shared experience of growing up in South Dallas and swapping locations of our favorite barbecue locations.

01:12:37.620 The revelation that he had spent the first half of his life as a woman came later in the dinner when Beck asked him to share his story.

01:12:44.360 I was surprised to see looks of genuine sympathy on everyone's faces.

01:12:48.720 Trenton was optimistic about the fate of transgendered people in America, but expressed serious concern about the levels of depression and suicide among his community.

01:13:00.320 But the most surprising person of all at the table.

01:13:05.020 Oh, no.

01:13:07.160 Oh, I have to leave it there. 0.99

01:13:09.620 Shoot.

01:13:11.040 Wait until you hear the most surprising person at the table. 0.98

01:13:14.840 It wasn't me.

01:13:16.080 Most surprising person at the table.

01:13:18.720 When we come back.

01:13:22.240 Glenn Beck.

01:13:24.080 Well, looks like we made it through the day.

01:13:26.320 I mean, unless you were one of the Palestinians that didn't understand what was coming. 0.93

01:13:31.320 If you pushed your way through a fence and started throwing things at soldiers.

01:13:37.000 The the embassy is now open in Jerusalem.

01:13:41.960 Forty three people were killed in protests.

01:13:44.720 But not as bad as I expected.

01:13:49.240 We have two guys out on the streets now in Israel.

01:13:53.440 Dan Andros and Jason Betrill, who are in Israel for a few days.

01:13:59.740 Been looking at the situation on the on the Gaza border, if you will.

01:14:05.380 And trying to figure out exactly what's going on and what the media is missing.

01:14:10.780 Hello, Dan and Jason.

01:14:12.100 Welcome.

01:14:13.660 Thanks, Glenn.

01:14:14.660 Hey, Glenn.

01:14:15.300 What is the feeling?

01:14:16.400 First of all, let's start with the embassy.

01:14:19.060 What is the feeling in Israel today about the embassy?

01:14:23.300 I think that pretty much what we've seen over the past couple of days is that I mean, it depends on who you talk to.

01:14:31.640 We talked to some people in the old city and a couple of days leading up to when it opened just a couple of days ago.

01:14:36.820 And we talked to a bunch of Palestinians in East Jerusalem.

01:14:40.120 They pretty much they were all about talking to the camera and telling us what their problems were and what made them mad.

01:14:44.960 And they pretty much just said that, you know, opening up the embassy was, you know, didn't have anything to do with Israel.

01:14:50.160 They had no right to do that.

01:14:51.900 And they were obviously, you know, angry, but they also just wanted the situation over with because most of their, like, business dealings were in the old city.

01:14:59.480 Now, we also talked to some Christians.

01:15:01.280 Now, the Christians had an interesting perspective.

01:15:03.640 We talked to one Christian that said, hey, we kind of feel like we're always the one played off the other. 0.58

01:15:07.380 We always feel like that the Jews are one soccer team and the Muslims are another soccer team. 1.00

01:15:12.620 And we're the ball. 0.94

01:15:13.860 We're basically the ones that are kind of getting kicked around.

01:15:16.280 So they didn't really have an opinion.

01:15:17.880 They just wanted it to be over with.

01:15:20.160 But, I mean, really, it seems like, you know, the media has descended upon Jerusalem.

01:15:25.520 Dan and I have spent the time trying to go where they're not because it seems like they're all chasing the same story,

01:15:31.800 which is basically that the story is that the opening of the embassy is a bad thing,

01:15:36.760 that, you know, that Trump is doing something, the United States is doing something that is going to, you know, start a fight, basically.

01:15:43.860 And they don't have any, you know, business doing it.

01:15:46.140 That's what the media is saying.

01:15:47.840 So we've been trying to go away from that.

01:15:52.200 Go ahead, Dan.

01:15:52.960 Well, it's interesting when you look.

01:15:54.460 I was going to say it's interesting when you look at the way the media's tone is towards this.

01:15:59.640 They always take the side of, you know, Jason and I heard all different perspectives, but they always take the one perspective.

01:16:05.020 When you actually go around the city, I mean, we saw all over the city were signs that are saying, Trump, make Israel great.

01:16:11.460 And, you know, the American flag next to the Israeli flag is everywhere, all over the place.

01:16:16.780 I mean, they had petunias set up.

01:16:19.180 Obviously, it took time to put that out.

01:16:20.960 I tweeted out that picture today on my Twitter account if you want to look.

01:16:23.560 But obviously, they care about this relationship, and yet the media doesn't bother to try to figure out why.

01:16:30.660 So where are you guys now?

01:16:32.020 Are you down at the border?

01:16:34.700 Yeah.

01:16:35.060 So we're right now, we're like, Dan and I right now are standing looking at the Gaza border.

01:16:40.180 It's engulfed in flames.

01:16:42.800 There's smoke everywhere.

01:16:44.020 There's sporadic gunfire.

01:16:45.380 And there is the media row up here, which is all kind of waiting to basically get the bad news.

01:16:51.300 The problem is there's no context.

01:16:52.820 Well, we're sitting here looking at everyone reporting on the same thing, and you'll see, like, in the New York Times and all these other places, where they're saying that, okay, there's now 40-plus people that have been killed.

01:17:00.580 But they're not providing any context.

01:17:02.400 And we don't understand that because I was in Bethlehem at another riot earlier in the day, and we wanted to see what it was like to be on the other side, to be on the Palestinian side.

01:17:11.380 So we waded on into that riot, and that was not a peaceful protest.

01:17:16.520 That is not what's going on.

01:17:18.100 We were rolling rocks.

01:17:19.260 They were tearing up the street, anything they could to fashion a weapon and to hurl it down at the IDF.

01:17:24.560 I mean, it was crazy.

01:17:25.500 The IDF was responding, but purely just to disperse the crowd.

01:17:28.560 If they cannot do that, then you're seeing what's happening in Gaza right now, which is, I mean, maybe I'm missing something.

01:17:35.260 But in every other part of the country, when a border is stormed and invaded, there's no other way to respond.

01:17:41.380 But you're not hearing that from the media.

01:17:43.140 You're just not hearing that.

01:17:45.440 Well, would it be—

01:17:46.140 Yeah, Glenn, you've got to hear this.

01:17:48.100 Go ahead.

01:17:49.140 One headline from the New York Times real quick, which says,

01:17:51.460 Breaking news, Israel responded with rifle fire to a mass attempt by Palestinians to cross a border fence.

01:17:57.620 So technically correct, but the framing of that is so interesting.

01:18:01.340 And, you know, like Jason said, most countries would react the same way, but yet somehow these guys are vilified.

01:18:09.580 Well, do you think it would be any different if they were coming across our border? 0.93

01:18:14.300 I mean, when we had the March for Freedom, you know, come up from Guatemala onto our southern border,

01:18:21.800 if they would have been more militant than they were, if they would have tried to actually crash our gates,

01:18:28.320 we would have done the same thing.

01:18:29.720 And I think the media would treat us as the monsters in the same way.

01:18:34.400 I think you're exactly right.

01:18:36.160 I think it's media manipulation.

01:18:38.740 I really do.

01:18:39.320 And if you want to know what it's going to look like, the more some of these groups are funded,

01:18:45.000 coming up through Guatemala and South America, coming up to our border,

01:18:48.540 stay tuned, America, because, you know, what you're seeing right now in Gaza could very well happen

01:18:53.060 coming in the very near future where we have no choice but to respond.

01:18:57.580 But I think that's exactly what they want,

01:18:59.040 because you'll see exactly what Dan and I are looking at right at this moment,

01:19:02.060 which the media row with their cameras turned on waiting to see and report not what caused us to respond,

01:19:10.320 but just the casualties on the other end, not what they did to make this happen,

01:19:15.220 but only the way we responded.

01:19:16.900 I think that's what's coming.

01:19:18.440 Who are these people that are storming the gates?

01:19:21.480 Do you have any idea?

01:19:22.260 Yeah, we actually talked to a really great former IDF intelligence officer just yesterday,

01:19:32.180 and she went through, and we'll have all this in our special,

01:19:34.060 but she went through all of the different forces that are combining to kind of ignite these agitators here.

01:19:41.260 And, you know, a lot of it is Iranian influence.

01:19:43.280 You've got Hezbollah. 0.97

01:19:44.220 You've got Hamas. 0.92

01:19:45.160 And so that's what's infuriating when you hear all this going on down there.

01:19:48.220 We've only been down here a few minutes, and we've already heard volleys of gunfire.

01:19:51.940 Now, we can't know for sure we're far back, but, you know, I mean, are they, you know,

01:19:57.020 it would be nice if the media could try to find out whether or not they're being,

01:19:59.940 has anyone asked the IDF if they're being shot at?

01:20:02.820 I mean, it sounded like a volley, but, you know,

01:20:04.960 but it would be nice if someone at least asked the question.

01:20:07.680 But that's the thing that keeps, you know, being left out of these reports is, you know,

01:20:12.920 if we know that Hamas, Hezbollah, and all these terrorist organizations are there,

01:20:17.820 why is that not being included in the report?

01:20:19.600 Or we're about to have an interview with the, you know, IDF spokesperson,

01:20:23.660 and we're going to find those answers out.

01:20:25.360 All right, and we'll talk to you this afternoon at 5 o'clock on the TV show

01:20:29.340 and hope to see your faces there and maybe some of the footage that you are gathering as well.

01:20:33.520 Thank you so much, guys.

01:20:34.520 Stay safe.

01:20:35.440 Thanks.

01:20:35.980 Thanks, Glenn.

01:20:36.520 So before we took the break, I was reading this story from the Dallas Observer,

01:20:56.660 and I don't think the Dallas Observer is, you know, necessarily friendly to the Glenn Beck cause of the world.

01:21:07.140 Do you, Stu?

01:21:08.300 I've not read the Observer.

01:21:09.840 No.

01:21:10.200 Yeah, okay.

01:21:10.980 I would doubt it.

01:21:12.220 Yeah, but who knows?

01:21:13.600 Okay.

01:21:14.300 So it's written by one of the guys who was invited to our Make America Dinner Again dinner,

01:21:22.000 and we invited people from all walks of life to sit down.

01:21:25.340 Now, the guy who wrote this is a libertarian, and he wrote, finishing the article,

01:21:31.640 for me, the most surprising person at the table was Riaz Patel.

01:21:37.180 Now, this is the reason why I wanted to share this article with you.

01:21:41.340 People say to me all the time, you're not going to change people's minds.

01:21:45.800 You're not going to change people's minds.

01:21:47.860 That's not true.

01:21:49.280 It's just not true.

01:21:51.540 Now, it is true unless they come with an open mind, and you come with an open mind.

01:21:58.600 Are you really willing to listen to them, and when they have something right, say,

01:22:06.260 yeah, I have to give you that one.

01:22:07.820 Yep, you're right.

01:22:09.260 And are they willing to do that?

01:22:11.220 Not everybody is, but some are, and those are the people that we need to spend our time on.

01:22:17.240 He said, whenever the leftist college professor made a dismissive quip about the right or fired off the popular tropes of the left about gun violence,

01:22:27.220 Patel was often the first to criticize the narrow-mindedness of his reasoning.

01:22:31.700 Those stats aren't actually completely correct, he might say, after some statistic about gun deaths and gun ownership.

01:22:38.480 Beck, of course, was also quick to counter such statistics with data of his own, but the shocking thing was watching Patel be willing to remove his political bias and admit errors of leftist reasoning.

01:22:51.240 He talked at length about his experience working for liberal media outlets and the pressure to conform language in programming to fit politically correct standards to the point of interfering with decent journalism.

01:23:03.340 He discussed his fears about attacks on free speech from the left and how the obsession with identity politics was dividing people rather than bringing them together.

01:23:13.500 In this midst of intellectual tempest, I did my best to get a word in without dominating the conversation,

01:23:19.360 but my shining moment for the evening came when the socialist professor's solution to the world's problems was a new utopian market socialism,

01:23:27.620 which blends the best parts of capitalism with socialism.

01:23:31.260 Here was my chance.

01:23:32.360 I rattled off the history of socialism in America and the world and the many forms it had taken, including market socialism and the many ways it had failed.

01:23:40.860 Fascism in its original form was supposed to be that balance between market and the socialist,

01:23:46.520 and the professor claimed the solution was the solution for the world's ills.

01:23:52.540 Beck looked at me with a knowing smile of pride, like he were my distant uncle watching his nephew score a touchdown.

01:23:59.580 It goes on, but that he, he's a really smart.

01:24:04.520 He came to me beforehand.

01:24:05.720 He said, I didn't realize how smart everybody was going to be said.

01:24:10.500 I don't know why I was invited.

01:24:12.000 I'm just a band member.

01:24:14.000 And I said, don't worry, don't worry about it.

01:24:16.320 You know, don't worry about the intellectuals.

01:24:18.320 You'd be as intellectual as, as you want to be.

01:24:20.800 And it was, uh, so he sat down and I didn't know what to expect from him.

01:24:27.360 He was really super smart and really well-read.

01:24:31.220 We really knew who he was and knew what the facts were.

01:24:35.580 Appreciated it.

01:24:36.220 And it's usually the people who don't think they're smart in those scenarios that wind up being smart because, and the ones who think they're really super smart end up being the ones that like, no, I mean, it's interesting.

01:24:46.940 I, I, I like the professor, but he was, uh, it was interesting to hear him say, well, those are just verifiable facts.

01:24:55.500 And it was Riaz, I, cause I said, ah, and Riaz says, no, actually that's wrong.

01:25:01.620 That's not a verifiable fact.

01:25:03.800 Right.

01:25:03.980 And if we're not, I mean, honestly, if we're going to give up talking to people who are not convinced of our worldview, I mean, what, what's the point of this?

01:25:11.340 Right.

01:25:11.460 I mean, the point of it is to try to tell, you know, try to inform people and, and, and hopefully maybe they see your, your, your, you know, see the light as far as you see it.

01:25:21.020 But that doesn't, that's not the entire, uh, breadth of, of human interaction either.

01:25:26.440 Um, but I mean, when you're talking about talking politics or talking about these issues, convincing people who already believe them is not exactly a task.

01:25:36.640 No.

01:25:37.220 And, and if we don't, what are we going to do?

01:25:40.120 We're going to win the next election, then eliminate everybody who disagrees with us.

01:25:43.900 Or is that what the left is going to do?

01:25:45.820 Right.

01:25:46.620 I mean, we, we have to, we have to find some common ground.

01:25:50.320 And, and, and that, that, every time you say it like that, it makes you squeamish.

01:25:55.920 I got to be honest.

01:25:56.460 Well, no, because it's like, cause it's, you know, I don't mean it that way.

01:25:58.760 I know.

01:25:59.400 I know you don't.

01:26:00.260 I mean, finding common ground makes it seem like, you know, I don't know, John McCain or Lindsey Graham.

01:26:04.940 Oof.

01:26:05.320 Right.

01:26:05.520 Like where you're just going to like, well, I'll just agree with the Democrats about 50% of the time.

01:26:09.060 That's not what we're talking about here.

01:26:10.260 I don't mean about policies at all.

01:26:11.780 Find our common humanity.

01:26:13.400 Yeah.

01:26:13.800 Find the things that bring us together.

01:26:15.460 And the things that bring us together should be the bill of rights.

01:26:18.800 Once we agree on the bill of rights and that all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights among these life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, we have it.

01:26:28.240 But that's the thing that always brought us together was we believed those things.

01:26:34.160 There's a lot of people that don't believe those things anymore.

01:26:37.000 There's, there's people who believe in, in Marxist principles.

01:26:41.620 Well, those go against the bill of rights.

01:26:43.600 So I can't, I can't agree with you.

01:26:46.120 I have to, I have to agree to disagree with you because those, those philosophies are not found in our constitution and they don't work.

01:26:56.560 Right.

01:26:57.320 They just don't work.

01:26:58.260 And demonstrating not only their, their pragmatic ability to solve the world's problems is part of it.

01:27:05.140 Arguing it from a moral perspective is another.

01:27:07.880 But the, the bottom line is if you can't make these points and you don't make them with the idea of converting someone who doesn't believe them.

01:27:19.400 I mean, Teen Vogue ran a thing this, this week about Karl Marx, like the ninth, how great is Karl Marx article that we've seen in the past couple of weeks.

01:27:30.300 Karl Marx, remember when you said the president was a, was a Marxist and it was, you were accused of being a, a hater.

01:27:40.960 Racist.

01:27:41.480 And a racist. 0.99

01:27:43.700 Teen Vogue is in love with Karl Marx. 0.98

01:27:47.360 What the hell kind of magazine is Teen Vogue at this point?

01:27:49.620 I don't even understand it.

01:27:50.740 You're, you're a 13 year old girl looking for makeup tips and you get Karl Marx praise.

01:27:55.400 I don't understand it.

01:27:56.440 By the way, Revlon is not a Marxist company.

01:27:59.420 I don't know if you know this.

01:28:00.120 None of the things that you advertise in your magazine, you know, your capitalist magazine has anything to do with Marxism.

01:28:07.240 Unbelievable.

01:28:07.940 You have to be able to talk to people who believe that.

01:28:11.040 Yes.

01:28:11.360 Who read that and be, and actually be won over by it.

01:28:14.320 Well, so let's use this example.

01:28:16.540 Seattle.

01:28:17.940 Seattle and Amazon.

01:28:19.340 What's happening there?

01:28:20.260 We have to be able to find the answer to that.

01:28:25.920 And unfortunately, I don't think, I don't think capitalists win that one in Seattle, but let me frame the argument and tell you what's going on.

01:28:34.100 When we come back, we want to thank our sponsor this half hour.

01:28:39.720 It's Mercury real estate.

01:28:41.620 Listen, you want to sell your home.

01:28:43.660 It's really tough.

01:28:45.060 It's tough.

01:28:45.940 If you don't know the right real estate agent.

01:28:48.020 And when I say, you know, the right real estate, they're not all created the same.

01:28:51.120 They really are not.

01:28:52.460 And I love this thing where people are, you know, I just, um, I, I, I got a guy cause he's, he's cutting his, uh, he's cutting his, uh, uh, his, uh, percentage and I'm getting a discount from him.

01:29:04.100 You're getting a discount from him.

01:29:05.780 If he doesn't know the value of his own work, how's he going to know the value of your home?

01:29:09.980 You need a great real estate agent that has a track record of knowing the price, helping you set the price and then selling for the highest price, uh, available.

01:29:24.020 Now that takes an agent who is like you does their own homework, um, where their word is their bond, where they just want a fair deal.

01:30:03.600 So America 2020, 2024 is really going to be at a crossroads.

01:30:08.240 Are we a capitalist society or a Marxist socialist society?

01:30:13.060 Um, and that's going to require people to actually do more than just listen to their college professor.

01:30:18.940 They're going to actually have to think.

01:30:20.800 A showdown is now looming in Seattle where the city council planned on taking, um, a, uh, a vote on big businesses.

01:30:30.040 And, uh, levying a new tax on these businesses, a tax of about $526 per employee.

01:30:38.480 So Amazon, uh, would be hit with a $25 million tax and the, the city's like, well, it's Amazon.

01:30:49.180 They can afford it.

01:30:49.940 Well, Amazon said, no, no.

01:30:52.480 And they halted construction on a development site in Northern, uh, Seattle and, and said, we're not going to lease space.

01:31:01.800 We're not going to build any more space if you approve the tax.

01:31:05.140 So they've postponed the, the vote.

01:31:08.600 Well, no, no, I, if I'm Amazon, I want you to answer the question.

01:31:13.660 Yeah.

01:31:14.040 They're just going to impose the tax. 0.99

01:31:15.520 Once you start building again, once you're done, they'll be like, oh, by the way, that tax is back on the table.

01:31:19.880 Okay.

01:31:20.600 So here's, here's what Seattle and King County declared a state of emergency over homelessness because the, the average home, the median price for a house now in Seattle is $777,000.

01:31:36.580 Well, let's, you're not alone.

01:31:38.740 I mean, there's city after city after city that is like this.

01:31:42.000 So the, the, the businesses are saying, yeah, we've got to do something on homelessness, but listen to the city council.

01:31:52.460 This is a message to the working people of America from Amazon saying that if you dare fight us, we'll threaten you with taking away jobs.

01:32:02.340 They're not taking away jobs.

01:32:04.620 They're a business.

01:32:05.640 They owe it to their shareholders to make the most amount of money for the shareholders.

01:32:13.140 And if you do business in Seattle and they're charging you all kinds of taxes, it is their fiduciary responsibility to look at another space.

01:32:25.280 They're not threatening jobs.

01:32:27.840 You are, especially in this environment where dozens and dozens of cities are producing videos to try to lure the next Amazon.

01:32:35.320 Headquarters to their, to their city.

01:32:37.620 The city council said people need to know what Jeff, Jeff Bezos is a bully and people need to fight back against his attempted extortion.

01:32:47.020 Wait, that's what you're doing.

01:32:49.300 You're the one putting a new, a new term of, of, of business, right? 1.00

01:32:55.580 They're having to add a whole new line on their business model to figure out how to pay for your stupid tax. 1.00

01:33:00.800 That's you changing the rules, not them. 0.97

01:33:02.260 A hundred companies, Alaska Airlines, Expedia are opposing this and 300 small business leaders, you know, from coffee shops, mom and pop places all across the sea, all across Seattle said, this is only going to hurt small business in our community.

01:33:18.760 Stop it.

01:33:19.360 City council back mercury.

01:33:21.660 Welcome to the program.

01:33:28.400 Pat and I had a shared miserable experience on Saturday.

01:33:32.140 I call it a nightmare.

01:33:33.340 Who would you call it a nightmare?

01:33:34.560 Yeah.

01:33:34.860 Yeah.

01:33:35.040 We went to a, uh, we went to our, you know, our, our, our, my, my daughter's ballet recital, a recital.

01:33:42.080 And my, and my granddaughters, cause they're in the same, they're in the same ballet unbeknownst to us initially wound up there at the, cause there's these Russians that are really good, but they're intense, man.

01:33:54.740 Oof.

01:33:55.140 They're really intense.

01:33:56.000 And I, and Mr. Uli, um, who is the, is the husband of the mother who was a Russian ballet person who taught her daughter and who's now in the Russian and the daughter is the teacher of the class, right?

01:34:13.340 I don't know that convoluted story.

01:34:15.440 I think so.

01:34:15.960 I think so.

01:34:16.520 Yes.

01:34:16.820 Okay.

01:34:17.100 So, all right.

01:34:18.120 So, uh, the father at these ballet recitals comes out and he's, speaks of the heavy Russian accent.

01:34:25.000 You couldn't understand a word he said.

01:34:26.660 Yeah.

01:34:26.960 And he honestly is the best part of it.

01:34:30.400 Okay.

01:34:30.620 I mean, besides watching your, he's the best part of it.

01:34:34.420 First of all, you have to mention that every catastrophe on earth, whether it's war, famine, lava, earthquakes has happened on the freeways and streets of Fort Worth.

01:34:47.100 They are so torn up.

01:34:49.600 It is so hard to get anywhere in that town.

01:34:52.760 I hate like poison.

01:34:54.320 I'd rather chew off my arm than drive to Fort Worth, Texas.

01:34:58.400 A couple of fathers did, which is where this thing is.

01:35:01.740 And, and so you get there and then ballet, please don't do this to me.

01:35:08.960 Please.

01:35:09.360 I'm begging you with all that's in me by all that is holy, good and right.

01:35:13.980 Don't make me do this.

01:35:15.040 It's your granddaughter.

01:35:15.860 I don't think I do it for my granddaughter.

01:35:19.500 Wait, so you did it for your daughter. 1.00

01:35:21.880 Oh no, but I've been telling her she sucks for a while. 1.00

01:35:25.000 Just so she would, and she doesn't. 0.99

01:35:26.920 She's very, very good.

01:35:28.140 She's really good.

01:35:29.140 But just so you don't have to go to recitals anymore.

01:35:31.120 You're just discouraging her.

01:35:32.320 I can't do it. 0.98

01:35:32.680 You're the worst. 1.00

01:35:33.680 You're terrible. 1.00

01:35:34.160 I wouldn't do this anymore. 0.81

01:35:35.000 It's like, it's ballet.

01:35:37.600 It's like, it's got like three songs.

01:35:39.280 Have you noticed that?

01:35:40.140 Yes.

01:35:40.340 They're like three songs and you have to sit there for sometimes three hours and they play

01:35:46.140 the same three minute song.

01:35:47.900 Like every third song.

01:35:49.320 You're like, oh dear God, I've already seen this dance.

01:35:52.380 I've seen it with a four year old.

01:35:54.280 I've seen it with an eight year old.

01:35:55.820 I've seen it with a 12 year old.

01:35:57.340 They do the same thing every time.

01:35:58.480 And soon Mr.

01:35:59.540 Uli's daughter is going to come out and do it for 40 minutes. 1.00

01:36:03.220 Oh my gosh, please.

01:36:05.240 Can I pay you more not to watch your daughter dance? 0.96

01:36:08.740 I honestly sat there and I thought, you know how we should do this is we should all have

01:36:13.400 appointments, you know, Beck family at 615 to 6, you know, 21.

01:36:19.780 Watch your, watch your daughter and leave. 1.00

01:36:21.240 You watch your daughter.

01:36:22.080 Next family comes in, watch, watch your granddaughter and leave.

01:36:25.000 Yes.

01:36:25.540 Yes.

01:36:25.760 I can barely tolerate watching my own family dance.

01:36:29.960 I can't tolerate other people's children. 0.99

01:36:32.520 So Cheyenne, Cheyenne was dancing.

01:36:35.640 Cheyenne was dancing and I didn't see this cause I gave up.

01:36:38.220 I left, but you missed Cheyenne.

01:36:41.560 No, I saw like four of them and they were all great and I cheered.

01:36:45.360 She was good.

01:36:46.080 She was good and I cheered and everything else.

01:36:48.080 But then the second half, the second half is the, the ballet teacher dancing.

01:36:53.880 I don't want to see the ballet teacher dancing.

01:36:56.740 I don't care.

01:36:57.940 Only if you enjoy, enjoy ballet itself.

01:37:00.160 Do you stay for that?

01:37:01.520 Which is, which, which narrowed it to four people in the world.

01:37:04.820 Right.

01:37:05.240 Right.

01:37:05.460 And they're all on stage, but Cheyenne,

01:37:08.220 Cheyenne was at one point she's doing this, you know,

01:37:11.260 she's dancing behind with the, with the whole troop and, you know,

01:37:14.480 they just, they're standing there or sitting there with their hands over

01:37:17.160 their head.

01:37:17.620 And at some point, I love this.

01:37:20.780 At some point, she is so bored herself.

01:37:23.660 She just puts her hands down on her head and she's, she's just kind of like zoning.

01:37:28.520 And the girl next to her, she's like, Oh my gosh, I forgot.

01:37:31.780 I mean, she, she was bored.

01:37:34.040 I mean, if the ballerinas in the back are bored, you gotta believe, you know, the audience

01:37:38.800 wants to hang themselves.

01:37:40.200 Yes. 0.93

01:37:41.140 It's painful.

01:37:42.100 Painful.

01:37:42.520 It was a painful experience.

01:37:43.300 But I like Mr. Uli because he, you don't understand him.

01:37:46.380 I had no idea what he was saying.

01:37:47.680 Yeah.

01:37:48.000 But here's, he could have been, he could have been announcing executions of Russian dissidents.

01:37:53.560 I had no idea what he was talking about.

01:37:55.240 Is this the first time?

01:37:56.180 Here's Yuri Andropov, Skaya, who's about to be hung by the neck until dead.

01:38:00.960 I don't even know what he's saying.

01:38:02.580 It could have been that.

01:38:03.540 So he usually comes out and he's, this time he did it behind the curtain, which I was very

01:38:08.520 upset.

01:38:09.240 I, I want my money back because I go for Uli.

01:38:13.280 So Rafe and I go for Mr. Uli and, uh, and cause he comes out and he's always like, and

01:38:19.300 the, so the girls are going to dance now. 0.98

01:38:22.420 Um, they're not quite ready.

01:38:24.700 So wife told me, come out and talk a bit about, uh, ballet and I don't know much about

01:38:32.900 what they're, okay.

01:38:34.120 They're ready now.

01:38:34.980 Okay.

01:38:35.380 Here they are.

01:38:36.420 He does it.

01:38:37.260 I swear to you, just like that.

01:38:39.240 Yeah.

01:38:39.540 And I love it.

01:38:40.500 And Rafe, we were driving.

01:38:41.740 He's like, dad, this time I want you to watch Mr. Uli, but, but I want you to watch him

01:38:48.440 with some empathy.

01:38:49.720 And I said, what do you mean?

01:38:51.480 And he said, I have a theory that he's basically just coming out and saying, please, someone

01:38:59.460 killed me.

01:39:00.480 I married the woman. 0.99

01:39:02.280 She was dancer. 0.94

01:39:03.240 She was beautiful.

01:39:04.400 Now I'm doing this.

01:39:05.980 I don't know why. 0.99

01:39:07.020 Please, someone killed me.

01:39:11.840 I think Rafe's a dark sense of humor is pretty dwarf yours. 0.67

01:39:15.120 Oh my gosh.

01:39:15.880 Yeah.

01:39:16.180 Oh yeah.

01:39:16.680 Oh my gosh.

01:39:17.500 That's insightful though.

01:39:18.980 It is.

01:39:20.700 It is.

01:39:22.060 Cause he walked out in the beginning.

01:39:23.660 He's like, I'm not going to do this in front of crowd.

01:39:26.380 I do this behind stage this time.

01:39:28.460 And Rafe just looked at me and went, that's sad.

01:39:32.420 So he can fashion his noose.

01:39:34.200 That's why.

01:39:35.200 That's sad.

01:39:36.120 He's almost, he's almost dead.

01:39:38.600 He's dead inside.

01:39:39.880 But I, what I do like about them is they're no nonsense and they expect a lot of your

01:39:45.700 kids.

01:39:46.100 The Russians. 0.71

01:39:46.640 They don't.

01:39:47.380 Yeah. 0.94

01:39:47.500 These Russians don't baby American children. 1.00

01:39:51.160 They treat them like they're in the old Soviet union.

01:39:54.740 Oh yeah.

01:39:55.060 And if you don't do well, they don't say nice job.

01:39:58.540 They say, you did not do well.

01:40:00.380 That's bad.

01:40:01.280 Do again.

01:40:03.120 Okay.

01:40:03.940 Yeah.

01:40:04.360 You know, and it takes our kids to be able to handle a Russian artist who is the same.

01:40:09.160 Yeah.

01:40:09.340 She is exactly the same.

01:40:10.620 Our kids both had Russian ballet from these Russians who were like, you dance like Claude.

01:40:17.320 You are a spastic person. 1.00

01:40:20.380 You should have, in my country, we would have had legs removed from kids like you. 0.99

01:40:28.320 And it's the same in our class. 0.97

01:40:29.580 Right.

01:40:29.820 In our class.

01:40:30.360 You do something and you think it's pretty good.

01:40:32.440 No.

01:40:33.380 Bad.

01:40:33.880 Do again.

01:40:37.320 Nyet.

01:40:38.580 Oh, okay.

01:40:39.600 All right.

01:40:40.620 And fortunately, it never seemed to work in the Soviet union. 0.99

01:40:45.400 You know, they made crap all the time. 0.88

01:40:48.440 It just seemed to work in gymnastics and ballet. 0.99

01:40:52.740 That's it.

01:40:55.400 But please don't allow your kids to go into ballet.

01:40:59.880 Don't.

01:41:00.600 No.

01:41:00.820 It's a racket.

01:41:01.840 Terrible idea.

01:41:02.760 Absolute racket.

01:41:04.140 Little girls look at the end product of that and think, I would love to be that. 1.00

01:41:08.320 But that's, it's a moment when you're on stage and you're doing your little thing that they do and getting the applause.

01:41:15.360 And that's it.

01:41:15.800 No one wants to actually stand on their tippy toes for that long.

01:41:18.120 I will tell you.

01:41:18.960 No one wants to watch it.

01:41:19.600 I was really impressed.

01:41:21.200 I went to Cirque du Soleil, you know, years ago.

01:41:23.560 And I'm like, look at these kids and how they can, they're so flexible.

01:41:27.760 Now, go to, go to, go to, go to ballet.

01:41:30.620 The kids are unbelievable. 0.99

01:41:34.240 They're like, Cheyenne can, Cheyenne, you know, people say, you know, you're talking out your butt. 0.99

01:41:41.180 She can do that. 0.96

01:41:43.200 She can bend in ways that I don't think the human body is supposed to do.

01:41:48.280 There's something, there is something about staying that limber and nimble.

01:41:53.480 I often think about, um, if I were to spend every moment, uh, that I had while awake for the rest of my life, I do not believe I could touch my toes once.

01:42:04.080 No, I can't.

01:42:05.340 Like I, I can't even when I was legitimately spend multiple minutes per day, trying to figure out how to do things that are on the floor without going to the floor.

01:42:17.480 Like trying to scoop up my, my, my foot and like, you know, a shoe and like, you know, I get it on it.

01:42:23.920 Sometimes the lip of the back of the shoe, you can't get, you can't get on.

01:42:27.160 Yes.

01:42:27.400 It's, I, I, it's why I'm, that's why I'm, I'm always looking for new shoes.

01:42:32.060 It's the shoes fault, right?

01:42:33.600 Well, that's what I've been thinking.

01:42:34.700 But I've been thinking like, okay, I, you know, maybe I'm just getting to the point to where, you know, all people get to where you're like, I just want Velcro.

01:42:44.680 You know, but I don't want Velcro.

01:42:46.020 You know, like those Velcros. 1.00

01:42:46.780 Velcro's too much work.

01:42:47.480 It's too much work.

01:42:48.440 I want Velcro.

01:42:49.540 I want, I just, I think I can handle, if I can just put on my socks and then I have Velcro in the soles of my shoe, but I don't have to have anything on the outside of it.

01:42:59.380 So the Velcro just sticks to my sock.

01:43:03.600 Cause I can put socks on on Monday, wear them all week.

01:43:07.400 Right.

01:43:08.020 I mean, if I cut out the showers, then I could just.

01:43:11.600 Well, that's why they should have socks made out of water resistant material.

01:43:15.580 So you could take showers with the socks on and then you don't have to change them.

01:43:20.020 Well, if you go, oh my gosh, if you made it out of that scuba stuff, you know, that kind of rubbery stuff.

01:43:25.700 Yeah.

01:43:25.920 Right.

01:43:26.160 And then you just, Stu, you're a genius.

01:43:30.400 Cause then we sew the Velcro, the sticky part on the bottom of that.

01:43:37.740 You got scuba socks.

01:43:39.900 There you go.

01:43:40.580 And regular shoes that don't look like old men's shoes.

01:43:43.460 You're like, I just got out of, I just, I just, I was scuba diving.

01:43:47.040 I just, I just got out of that.

01:43:48.540 Well, I think too, a lot of people would look at this and it sounds like, like we're old and lazy and perhaps out of shape and not flexible.

01:43:57.460 But isn't this real, at this point, isn't this the shoemaker's fault?

01:44:00.820 I mean, Hey, we are, we got to put ties.

01:44:03.720 We got to put laces or Velcro on the shoes to make them fit properly.

01:44:07.280 How about making them fit properly?

01:44:09.260 Is that an option?

01:44:10.360 How about you make the shoe that fits my foot so that I don't have to tighten it.

01:44:14.880 It's not going to fall off because I don't know it's the right size.

01:44:17.640 And then I don't need to bend.

01:44:19.380 How about that?

01:44:20.680 What kind of country do we live in in which we're supposed to bend down and tie our shoes?

01:44:26.140 I'm an adult.

01:44:27.240 I stand two feet.

01:44:29.220 That's the way it's supposed to work.

01:44:30.860 See, you are dismissing technology and the truth of shoes.

01:44:34.980 And the truth of shoes is we're not going to need them much longer because everything will be delivered into our house where we have carpeting and comfy floors.

01:44:45.040 And so everything will be delivered to us.

01:44:47.560 So we just stay inside.

01:44:48.880 Stay inside.

01:44:49.960 I, we need delivery to actually open up the door for us.

01:44:54.660 I mean, I need them to go the extra mile.

01:44:57.700 I don't want to go to the door. 0.96

01:44:58.920 No, I, that's ridiculous.

01:45:01.640 There should be some sort of moving walkway at the very least.

01:45:05.620 Right.

01:45:05.980 I guess if I have to get up, I'd rather just have them bring it to the couch when they say the address, you know, what's your address and say, well, I'm going to give you the address.

01:45:15.260 But also just come on in, go down the main hall, turn right.

01:45:20.000 I'm in front of the TV.

01:45:21.200 Just drop it there on the table.

01:45:24.000 I may not even say anything to you because I'm paying because I'm paying for it now and I'm adding the tip.

01:45:30.380 Yes, sir.

01:45:31.180 Good.

01:45:31.640 Then I'm not talking to the person.

01:45:32.900 Just, just bring it in.

01:45:35.160 Drop it on the table in front of me.

01:45:36.760 Don't block the TV.

01:45:38.160 I'll grunt for wonderful service.

01:45:39.900 Right.

01:45:40.160 You'll know I'm still alive.

01:45:44.640 And would you pick up the old pizza boxes that you delivered through the last week, please?

01:45:56.780 Hey, you need a security system for your home.

01:45:59.640 Maybe you don't own your own home.

01:46:03.760 Maybe you do, but you don't want to pay $50 a month.

01:46:06.680 Maybe you have a business that needs an alarm system.

01:46:12.100 The best thing you can do is check out SimpliSafe.

01:46:15.440 How can, how can you protect your home and your privacy?

01:46:21.260 SimpliSafe has found the way to do it.

01:46:23.300 Look, SimpliSafe, they're, they're really a group of people just like you.

01:46:26.980 They're not like other security companies.

01:46:29.120 When they came to me with the, uh, SimpliSafe camera, uh, that you can control from your own

01:46:35.100 phone.

01:46:36.040 They, they said this about, I don't know, about four years ago, coming out with a camera

01:46:39.440 and they gave me the camera and it was a really nice camera.

01:46:41.980 And they said, here's, here's the first one off the line.

01:46:44.760 We wanted you to have it.

01:46:45.820 And I said, oh, that's great.

01:46:46.740 Thank you.

01:46:47.240 And it was really nice.

01:46:48.820 Then the camera didn't come out.

01:46:50.920 Well, the camera has just been released.

01:46:52.760 And so when I was talking to him, I was like, why didn't, why didn't you ever put out the

01:46:55.520 camera that you gave me?

01:46:56.220 And they said, because we were thinking about it and it has a lens and I don't know, it kind

01:47:00.400 of creeped us out that, you know, are somebody watching all the time.

01:47:03.700 And so we wanted to put a lens cover on it and something that you could hear.

01:47:08.980 It had to be metal.

01:47:09.780 So you could hear it.

01:47:11.080 Something that would work over and over and over and over and over again for years to come,

01:47:14.760 but you could hear it goes.

01:47:18.320 So when it opened, you'd know, okay, it's on.

01:47:23.580 I thought that was, I mean, that's the kind of thinking that they do.

01:47:26.680 They also put a little light on it.

01:47:28.260 So not only can you hear it open, but a light goes on.

01:47:31.240 They want you to know, yep, this system is now armed and it's watching this room.

01:47:36.260 And if you don't want it to watch that room, you punch your phone and it closes down.

01:47:41.440 Just punch the phone.

01:47:42.540 Anytime that's the function.

01:47:44.760 You just punch your phone. 0.99

01:48:06.740 Did you read the latest on, is Jordan Peterson enabling Jew hatred?

01:48:13.480 Oh, no.

01:48:13.940 Is he?

01:48:14.800 Shouldn't have done that.

01:48:15.960 Yeah, I know.

01:48:16.500 He's enabling it?

01:48:17.360 So he's not doing it.

01:48:18.380 He's not doing it.

01:48:19.160 He's enabling it.

01:48:20.020 And I think he's enabling it by, you know, appearing with Ben Shapiro.

01:48:27.220 The guy who's the target of the most anti-Semitic attacks on the entire internet?

01:48:32.220 Yeah.

01:48:33.180 You can't see how that's working?

01:48:35.180 No, I can't.

01:48:36.380 Also, Dave Rubin, another Jewish guy who he's on the road with currently. 0.96

01:48:41.380 He's enabling the Jew hatred. 0.96

01:48:43.940 How is he doing this? 0.85

01:48:45.200 So appearing with Jews enables Jew hatred? 0.83

01:48:49.280 I'm very confused, as usual.

01:48:51.640 I'm not going to sit here and try to break it down for you, Stu.

01:48:54.240 Oh, yeah.

01:48:54.820 I didn't think you would.

01:48:56.420 I honestly don't understand it, quite honestly.

01:48:59.560 You know, he's answered, this is a quote from the book.

01:49:04.360 He has answered questions about global Jewish influence several times in person and online.

01:49:09.560 And in April blog post, he attributed that alleged influence to Jewish intelligence.

01:49:14.280 An old anti-Semitic dog whistle.

01:49:19.020 Wait.

01:49:20.260 What?

01:49:23.000 In other words, he was saying.

01:49:25.120 Because they're smart.

01:49:25.840 The reason why some Jews are, because he was answering questions about how, you know, 0.95

01:49:33.060 how anti-Semites say, well, they control the world.

01:49:36.600 And he's like, no, they don't control the world.

01:49:39.600 Maybe, maybe, just maybe, people are successful because they're intelligent.

01:49:44.220 Oh, my gosh.

01:49:45.000 Now I see it.

01:49:45.720 Oh, my gosh.

01:49:45.940 Now I see it. 0.95

01:49:47.060 What an anti-Semite this guy is. 0.93

01:49:49.800 It's despicable, despicable what they're trying to do now to Jordan Peterson. 0.95
