00:01:06.020
Hello, America. It's Wednesday and the people are still in darkness in Venezuela. But you
00:01:17.660
know who has plenty of light, plenty of, plenty of stuff to eat, maybe got up in the middle
00:01:23.460
of the night, open up their refrigerator, just stood there and looked at all of the choices.
00:01:29.920
Hollywood, the people who did this to Venezuela, the people who championed socialism and Chavez
00:01:38.520
and Maduro. They've got plenty of light. We take you into the heart of darkness and the heart of
00:01:49.420
hypocrisy. Venezuela and Hollywood as we begin the show in one minute.
00:01:55.520
All right. Feeling great again today. Thanks to Relief Factor. It is, it is the best pain relief that you
00:02:09.040
can possibly imagine. If at least it is for me and 70% of the people who try it, they find the same kind
00:02:17.360
of relief and they order month after month after month. I mean, if you're living in constant pain,
00:02:21.740
if you're living with shoulder, neck, back pain that just won't go away, this is 100% drug-free.
00:02:29.320
It's created by doctors. You try it and you take it three times a day, breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
00:02:35.120
And within three weeks, if you haven't seen some reduction in your pain, it's not going to work
00:02:41.140
for you. And they're straight up with you. That's why they have you do it just for three weeks.
00:02:45.920
Try it for three weeks. 70% of the people who try it go on to order more month after month after
00:02:51.500
month because it works. 1995, the three-week quick start. You can get it right now at

00:03:21.500
Imagine a darkness, something darker and scarier than the deepest parts of the ocean.
00:03:33.560
Darker than that awful darkness of space, the darkness of night, a house shackled by darkness
00:03:40.220
because there isn't any electricity and there hasn't been for months. But then again, that's
00:03:45.480
not the dark I'm talking about. The real dark is the dark part that lives inside of
00:03:51.940
you. The things that you now have to do on a daily basis just to stay alive.
00:03:59.680
Around the corner, you hear the bestial shouts from a Caracas jail. The prisoners have taken
00:04:06.320
over. At least that's what you hear. They feel they can do a better job of controlling themselves
00:04:10.480
than whoever has been doing it lately. It was a hundred years ago that this country was
00:04:17.300
lavished in wealth. Not too long ago, you too were rich. You were healthy in that chubby
00:04:24.240
19th century Russian diplomat way. You ate well. You probably ate too much. Black turtle beans
00:04:31.280
and fried bananas. Asado negro. You drool just thinking of the tender shredded beef and the
00:04:37.560
carrot and oregano tinged broth. You strode through steakhouses on special occasions. You ate
00:04:45.080
T-bones like a Texan. You drank Chilean wines. Malbec from Argentina. Occasionally a glass of cognac.
00:04:54.700
Not because you were a drunk, but because you could. Because you enjoyed the sprouting goodness
00:04:59.340
that life had to offer. Man, that life, it seemed like it was never going to end.
00:05:03.600
Now look at yourself. You're a bag of bones. Bones jutting out like false teeth. At times,
00:05:15.500
you think about all the energy you waste just breathing. What happened? Now you can barely
00:05:24.720
afford a single egg. One egg. Eggs that fall out of the backsides of chickens and I can't afford
00:05:32.240
it. Your mouth quivers at the thought of a fried egg tender. So tender it pops open with just the
00:05:39.380
prod of a fork oozing onto the fried papaya and rotisserie chicken. You've lost 120 pounds since
00:05:47.700
it all started going to hell. And now, you're in it firmly. You weren't rich. You were middle class.
00:05:57.140
Lower middle class, even. That's just how good things used to be. Although there was always the
00:06:04.380
cinderblock hovels that you can see from the plane as you land in Caracas. Now it has spread.
00:06:12.620
The office where you used to work as an accountant is now empty, abandoned, overtaken by squatters.
00:06:19.060
People like you who lost everything. Who limp a little more each day toward their death.
00:06:25.100
Men all in black now patrol the streets with shotguns, black bulletproof vests, and black
00:06:32.180
tarp-like shirts, and black pants, black military boots. People hamper cars in the street because
00:06:38.880
there's nowhere to go. Nothing to do. Gasping a bit, you rest below a crucifix statue.
00:06:48.160
The left tilting head of Christ emblazoned in a soft and sad light. The burnished rise of daylight
00:06:55.240
breathing into a new day. Looking at Christ, perhaps for the first time you understand suffering.
00:07:03.480
You understand his defeated look. The look of hopelessness and violence and death.
00:07:09.240
The hopelessness of surrendering and surrendering until it stops mattering.
00:07:18.320
You hope. You have that one hope left that all things will change. But you really hope that just
00:07:28.640
anything begins to change. It was all so promising at the beginning. Everybody was going to be able to
00:07:37.700
live the high life. And now, only a handful are. And they are the ones that live behind the gates.
00:07:47.780
This, you think to yourself, this is the socialist utopia they promised all of us as Venezuelans?
00:07:56.100
As you sit there under the statue, you begin to replay it all in your mind and wonder,
00:08:06.180
where are all those Americans, those celebrities, those from Hollywood that praised our leaders
00:08:16.700
and helped convince us? And helped convince us that this was the road to prosperity.
00:08:38.100
This is why the media is an enemy of the people.
00:09:02.420
Where are the demands for the apologies from those who brought this socialism to Venezuela?
00:09:10.220
I can tell you right now that if a capitalist country would implode and you had the very rich
00:09:18.000
and the very elite of this grotesque capitalist system,
00:09:24.160
living the high life, taking the gold from the country currently,
00:09:28.560
holding it hostage, forcing people to starve, fixing elections,
00:09:39.520
They would be talking about it nonstop and saying,
00:09:48.960
Where are the leaders today that will actually stand up and say,
00:10:00.520
Can we stop and look at what socialism has done?
00:10:11.620
Hey, Sean Penn, do you remember when you said this?
00:10:15.940
He is one of the most important forces we've had on this planet.
00:10:20.100
He is one of the most important forces we have in this planet.
00:10:24.500
And I will wish him nothing but that great strength he has shown over and over again.
00:10:31.940
And I will wish him nothing but that great strength he has shown over and over again.
00:10:41.680
I just want to say that from my very American point of view
00:10:47.820
I want to say that from my very American point of view
00:51:50.080
is i'm tying myself in a knot here jeff because
00:52:03.480
america that at some point the rich will get so
00:52:06.280
rich they will kick the door behind them and not
00:52:11.880
now not all rich people do that but some do i i talked
00:52:15.620
to ray kurzweil and i said what makes you think that
00:52:19.300
google is not going to just notice what i'm doing online
00:52:25.140
and say they're trying to build a competition to me to google
00:52:28.740
and just start banning them start changing you know the information
00:52:36.540
you know do that and he said because people won't
00:52:40.440
like you don't know people people will always do that kind of stuff
00:52:44.020
so i don't know when you have that much power and you don't have the the morals
00:52:51.400
to to underpinning of saying you know no i don't want to screw people
00:52:56.400
i made it and somebody else can make it and competition makes will just make me
00:53:02.680
well i think i think i think you are helping solve it by advancing the
00:53:08.340
conversation i think one angle i think there are a lot of different angles
00:53:11.260
there's no one magic bullet but i think antitrust
00:53:15.020
is certainly part of the equation here and maybe re-evaluating
00:53:22.320
you know elizabeth warren proposed breaking up tech companies
00:53:25.020
i don't know if that's a good idea or not but that is one
00:53:31.980
i just did an analysis of social media you know
00:53:35.800
how much is social media impacting our democratic discourse and what i found
00:53:40.540
is that american use of social media is dominated by eight platforms and
00:53:46.620
facebook owned platforms facebook itself facebook also owns whatsapp and
00:53:59.040
google controls 90 of the search market so imagine all the times that you're
00:54:06.480
searching for information and and top of that they own youtube which is the most
00:54:11.760
used social media and the dominant video sharing one and they're an
00:54:18.320
investor in snapchat which as you know is really popular especially among young
00:54:22.960
people so you you look at the landscape and we have eight platforms with two
00:54:28.560
companies controlling um you know how we make sense of the world and filtering the
00:54:33.920
information that we receive right and social media is unique because it's
00:54:38.080
participatory it's not like we're sharing and creating
00:54:49.920
platforms and uh and publishers that they're trying to have it both ways they have
00:54:57.120
the protection of a platform because they could not survive
00:55:00.480
youtube couldn't survive if they were going to be sued for everything anybody ever posted
00:55:04.320
facebook couldn't survive but that's a platform and they have to say i'm an
00:55:09.440
editor i'm a publisher or i'm a platform if you're a platform you gotta let it ride
00:55:14.640
because you can't edit otherwise you are responsible for the content because you're
00:55:20.960
editing unless it's illegal why not just make them platforms or publishers and publishing is a
00:55:30.400
total different set of rules and congratulations on that you're going to get sued all the time
00:55:36.160
right well i think okay let's talk about policy and then politics because you're referring to
00:55:41.040
section 230 yes which is what protects these platforms from getting sued for the content that they're
00:55:47.680
searching so which seems like indexes seems like that's the root of the problem
00:55:53.680
well but it gets more complicated because let's be honest like i think that i think
00:55:58.640
threatening to revoke section 230 uh protection is really effective political move
00:56:05.280
saying listen we're going to pull this like we're not going to protect you anymore if you're
00:56:09.360
going to act like a publisher and tweak your algorithms and steer people to this politically
00:56:15.120
biased information and and and uh disproportionately bias everything against conservatives like
00:56:22.960
we're going to so i think it works politically to threaten it in practice i think it's a really bad
00:56:28.160
policy that would basically destroy the internet so i'm not sure that's exactly i'm not sure that's
00:56:34.000
exactly the right approach how would it destroy i i want to understand i'm not pushing back to be
00:56:39.600
if i could well well i think i think what if i could sue google for anything that google indexes that's
00:56:46.240
just going to be a nightmare correct and i think so so i think you're taking a grenade approach when
00:56:51.760
a smarter policy approach would be to to a more surgical approach and maybe change the language
00:56:58.880
of requirements around section 230 and get in there and say you know what here's we recognize this
00:57:05.600
thing is this protections vital to the internet um but we're going to tweak the language and if we find
00:57:11.680
that that you're having a disproportionate impact or bias against conservatives or against our
00:57:17.040
democratic anybody against anybody against anybody then then we're going to uh so i think a more
00:57:24.960
surgical approach to finessing that language and adding requirements might be a smarter approach than
00:57:31.040
just yanking it i just didn't i just assumed that no one in their right mind would take that deal they
00:57:36.640
would all back up and go okay okay okay okay because you're right it will it will shut
00:57:41.520
everything down um it it has that protection has to be provided because no company could handle it
00:57:49.120
um uh and i just assumed that they would all be wise enough to go okay we'll behave i mean the reality
00:57:55.840
is these big platforms do have too many legal protections so i do think that i don't want i'm
00:58:02.000
not a big fan of you know litigious culture no at all but i do think that that they are overly
00:58:08.160
protected and that we can finesse some of the language so i think when we look at policy solutions
00:58:13.760
looking at it more with a scalpel rather than a grenade is a much uh smarter approach and i asked
00:58:20.160
some friends what they thought made sense policy wise and they they specified with you know platforms
00:58:27.280
with more than several million users maybe that's when they should fall under certain requirements right
00:58:33.040
because when you have a global platform yeah that's different than having a local retail shop right
00:58:38.320
so okay uh jeff hang on if you can hang on the phone we want to continue our conversation
00:58:43.520
because this matters to everyone because it's not just the right the left is being censored as well
00:58:51.920
and it's not just celebrities or newsmakers it is also you and i'll give you an example of that coming up first
00:58:58.480
okay um let me tell you let me tell you about american financing most prospective homeowners
00:59:11.680
have blind spots when it comes to their mortgage needs when it comes to shopping for a mortgage
00:59:16.640
and coming up with a down payment there are tons of options most of them designed to help the mortgage
00:59:22.160
company and the underwriters not you this is why you have to have somebody who's working on salary
00:59:28.000
not working on kickbacks from the different banks or or underwriters you need somebody who's on your
00:59:34.320
side and that's american financing go to americanfinancing.net and you will see the difference
00:59:41.440
you go ahead go go to some other mortgage company shop around go to american financing then go to other
00:59:47.440
mortgage companies and you will see the difference americanfinancing.net 800-906-2440
00:59:54.720
1-800-906-2440 americanfinancing.net we break for 10 seconds station id and then back
01:00:02.720
we were talking um jeff about um being demonetized and um i'm wondering how much of that is just from
01:00:26.560
uh companies uh companies advertisers saying you know we're mercedes-benz i don't want anything
01:00:32.880
political i don't want anything that could be controversial and them just not having different
01:00:39.440
categories or levels and just saying okay no advertising because some advertisers don't want this
01:00:47.600
how much of it is that and how much of it is an agenda to silence
01:00:52.240
i definitely think there's an agenda to silence i mean look at you may be familiar with sleeping
01:00:59.920
giants that's the name of a left-wing advocacy effort that basically tries to remove threatened
01:01:08.080
advertisers who are advertising on tucker carlson show or on fox or whatever and they pulled the plug
01:01:14.960
on all of breitbart's advertising or a lot of their algorithmic advertising so it's pretty devastating for
01:01:20.880
a lot of these businesses and and um yeah so i definitely think the advertising censorship
01:01:27.200
issue is is big and it's a it's kind of a structural way to really take the uh legs out from under
01:01:34.720
conservative media and and they're winning on this front for sure uh they are how do we how do we fight
01:01:41.040
back without being them well glenn i mean uh i think we we may have to be them uh you know i think
01:01:53.360
conservatives like to be lofty and and pretend like you know everything's good and and wonderful in the
01:02:00.000
world and the left is taking this by any means necessary approach and and that's a recipe for losing and
01:02:06.800
there's a sense in which conservatives are just kind of perpetual losing losers right and so i think
01:02:12.640
i think part of part of it is bringing the fight back to them which isn't fun nobody likes playing
01:02:18.080
that game um but i think they only stop when they when we force them to play it by their own rules as
01:02:24.480
alinsky would say right exactly i think that's yeah so i think that's one step is to is to push back take
01:02:31.840
the offensive i think a second step is just to stop playing the game what tucker carlson did the
01:02:39.200
other night was phenomenal when he said no i'm not going to let you shame me no fox is standing by me
01:02:46.320
we're not going to be fired um that is really powerful when people learn to just not take the bait
01:02:53.760
with these outrage campaigns um especially when they're fake fake ones now with advertisers it's
01:03:00.960
complicated because you know tucker carlson's show still is losing advertisers i'm not exactly sure
01:03:07.520
what to do around that other than making our voices heard and felt with the advertisers and demonstrating
01:03:14.320
to them that like hey this is uh almost a mutually we need to get in the mutually assured destruction
01:03:20.800
mode where where okay we can play this game but that's going to be a nightmare for advertisers when
01:03:27.600
you're boycotting us and we're boycotting you and all this stuff or we could just not play this game
01:03:33.280
and i think the only way to get to that position is by threatening the left back and saying no you
01:03:40.240
know hope we don't play that we're not going to do that anymore yeah and and also i think one one
01:03:45.680
one third step is getting our dollars together astrazeneca if they're going to pull their ads from tucker
01:03:51.840
carlson you know well maybe that's not the best example because people need their bed but right
01:03:57.760
i like right you know pick your service if you're if you're gonna like not advertise we're gonna boycott
01:04:04.080
your service and so getting organized to make them pay a price for that behavior is another another thing
01:04:10.080
we can do jeff gc can i ask you to come back and uh maybe we'll have you come in and do a 90 minute
01:04:16.720

slash podcast that's micro.com slash podcast so let me let me explain the the real answer to censorship
01:06:48.640
okay what we're talking about is something different because the the technology has changed it used to be
01:06:57.840
that we all broadcasting was happening okay that's not what's happening anymore it's becoming more and
01:07:06.400
more narrow broadcasting is something from you know a generation past it's not the future narrow casting
01:07:17.600
is and what's interesting is it's not just out there you go searching for it now you would say
01:07:28.080
well facebook is different it's just out there okay let me compare facebook to a movie theater
01:07:34.240
because this is what is happening this is why we're reacting the way we do you go into a movie theater
01:07:40.960
and these kids are talking and everybody's uncomfortable but nobody is saying anything because
01:07:47.000
nobody wants to be that person you just don't want to get into trouble or something and finally
01:07:52.360
you just snap and you turn around and go knock it off shut up some of us are trying to watch this movie
01:07:59.640
and used to get applause now everybody just kind of sits there quietly to see like are they gonna get
01:08:05.800
they're gonna shoot him are they gonna shoot him okay call you a racist yeah or call me a racist or
01:08:11.880
whatever and then you would walk out of the movie theater and people silently would just look at you like
01:08:16.360
good job dude good job okay and you were frustrated for you you weren't frustrated necessarily for
01:08:23.480
everybody else that did enter your mind you're like how is no one else standing up is everybody else just
01:08:28.360
okay with this and you know everybody else wasn't but it was you you were trying to watch the movie
01:08:34.520
and so you had to take a public action to silence it because you wanted to watch the movie and others wouldn't do anything
01:08:45.960
that is a thing of the past now imagine you're going into a movie theater and you can mute people okay
01:08:56.520
okay just like tv you can just look around and take your remote control and go boop mute you can be in a
01:09:03.640
bar and somebody could just be an obnoxious pig boop mute you can't hear them you can't see them
01:09:11.480
they're just gone sounds wonderful okay it actually i think is an episode on the dark mirror yeah
01:09:17.640
black mirror or black mirror um well that's that's facebook has that facebook has that i use it all the
01:09:25.240
time right you just mute people because you don't want to see it you don't need to see it but what
01:09:31.960
happens is is everybody becomes the movie theater police i must stop it not just for me but for every
01:09:41.240
person in the theater it's not your job dude it's not your job it's their job they don't want to hear
01:09:47.560
it they can mute it by but what's happening is we can individually mute what we don't want to hear
01:09:57.000
but for power reasons nobody is talking about that nobody's nobody's saying oh by the way you can mute
01:10:03.560
this yourself if you don't want to hear it no because power reasons their people want to be the movie
01:10:10.040
theater police all you have to do is take care of it yourself you already we've done this in society
01:10:17.880
forever you're out of some place and everybody's talking like pigs and you just look at each other
01:10:21.960
and you're like let's get out of here okay that's what you do except this time you don't have to leave
01:10:27.320
right for example the bubble the love sponge audience was not offended by what tucker carlson was
01:10:31.720
saying but media matters took it upon themselves to go back and make sure you were offended 12 years
01:10:38.040
later movie theater exactly after someone going back and saying you know during lord of rings these
01:10:44.920
people were talking back there right you're like okay well that happened during the lord of the rings
01:10:49.720
the first episode when it first came out i wasn't even in the theater i wouldn't have chosen to gone
01:10:55.080
to that theater i would have said something at the time whatever it is right i think that's that
01:11:00.760
that's an interesting part i think you know but i hesitate to just fully commit to this because i want
01:11:06.440
to think it out all the way and i think part of it is because so many smart conservatives that i
01:11:12.520
respect it's not just crazy liberals saying these things like break up the tech companies a lot of
01:11:16.680
conservatives are on this bandwagon and they're saying this is a smart thing to do and so i want
01:11:21.880
to make sure i fully think it out but i keep coming back to this idea that did we have a first amendment
01:11:29.160
before 2004 when effectively facebook google and youtube banned every single person on the planet
01:11:35.480
because they didn't exist but we all had a first amendment then we never had we don't have a
01:11:40.040
right to to be able to put your thoughts your free speech on a particular website that someone else
01:11:48.120
built that is not your right it's not your it's not your right to be able to earn a living
01:11:54.600
on facebook it's it's their platform that they built with their money and the fact that they allow
01:11:59.640
you to go on there and use it it's as a private company it is it is really their prerogative and
01:12:06.120
i think you're right when it comes to legal protections there gets to be a somewhat of a
01:12:10.280
sloppy line there and i would agree that the right thing for people to do these these sites to do is to
01:12:16.280
say like let everyone put whatever they want on these websites unless it's something illegal and
01:12:22.840
people should be able to mute and you know block speech that they don't like etc which they can do
01:12:29.160
now control of your own algorithm yeah i think you should be able to play with that algorithm and say
01:12:34.040
if i move it this direction uh what happens what's my feed look like i move it this direction let give
01:12:39.720
people the control of what they want to hear and these companies just don't trust people i think it would
01:12:45.080
be better if they did more of that i think some of those tools already exist like the mute button you can
01:12:48.920
block certain words you can do lots of things like i example for example i've muted the word aoc
01:12:53.880
because i don't want to hear one word about what she says it's just a bunch of nonsense so if you go
01:12:58.360
to uh uh back up a little bit though think of 1995 right glenn's in broadcasting for many many
01:13:05.320
years already i mean got decades already uh he there are people out there that had thoughts and they may
01:13:10.920
those thoughts may have been important they may have been better than yours or smarter than yours or
01:13:14.120
funnier than yours but you had a radio station and they didn't were there was their first amendment
01:13:19.720
right being violated like they there's a high car barrier of entry for them to get on the radio
01:13:25.240
right and so to get a competitor it was almost impossible so they just didn't get on the radio
01:13:30.040
and where did they not have for first amendment rights at that time i think they did this is really
01:13:34.760
difficult for me to go down this monopoly road now because the cost the barrier of entry is so low
01:13:40.040
right but this is a this is you could you could create competitors to twitter to youtube in your
01:13:45.320
sleep you can put a uh you can put these things up and you might say well then no one's going to see
01:13:49.880
it well you don't have a constitutionally right a guaranteed right to an audience and you have a
01:13:55.240
constitutionally guaranteed right to say things let's see but not to the audience that they built on
01:13:59.640
their site but that's the deal you had access to airwaves you had to buy because they were limited you
01:14:05.800
you had to buy i know i know um you had you had access to do those things and then it was up to
01:14:12.200
you as the person to use that in your personal way to be able to um express yourself i think having a
01:14:22.040
platform that is open to everybody so they can express themselves has been great for democracy has been
01:14:28.680
great for the capitalist system and uh i don't want to limit it in any way it's like a phone these these
01:14:35.640
utilities and i don't want them classified as utilities but that that's really what they are
01:14:40.440
now they're becoming public utilities it's a phone line okay um and i don't want to say oh you can't
01:14:47.800
have a phone no no you can't have access to a phone uh and that's kind of what's happening now is this is
01:14:53.720
this is a way that people communicate i'm sorry you can't have access now i'd you you should not be able
01:15:01.640
to um uh increase my my audience or decrease my audience i should have to do that on my own
01:15:10.600
everyone should just be able to do who they are be who they are use it the way they want to use it
01:15:15.960
yeah you're just going down a really i mean for example if you're saying that you have to you have a
01:15:19.720
right to be able to go on i don't say you have a right that's not a god-given right
01:15:24.840
should it be something that's controlled by the government no whether they because i run with you
01:15:30.840
if people should be able to ban whoever they want off of their own feeds correct but they should not
01:15:35.080
have protection because if they do yeah yes i think i agree with you on that i think that there's a
01:15:43.720
there's a line and i think probably the line when it comes to legal protection is slightly is slightly
01:15:50.200
different but i mean i think a lot of conservative uh organizations complain about whether they should
01:15:55.320
have access to this uh and and they they're mad about it which i understand but they don't have a
01:16:00.760
right to it and that is a that's a big it's a big difference and you don't you know you can't demand
01:16:06.440
that a company keeps you on there if like let's say i wanted to start a new social network and the
01:16:10.440
new social network caught up and it was you know stew's uh new fast food treats and philadelphia
01:16:14.920
eagles commentary.com and just millions and millions of people inexplicably signed up for this
01:16:20.040
now we're crazy enough country to do it now and people started saying you know what here's a new
01:16:23.880
kale treat and you know what let me tell you something about the kansas city chiefs and i said
01:16:28.360
no you're all banned wouldn't i have the right to ban every single person yes you would it's my company
01:16:32.680
i started it for a reason yes so facebook just like just like just like the blaze does but the blaze
01:16:40.520
is suitable but so if i put up a site and i said uh you know it's i wanted to ban people because of
01:16:47.080
the content and they started posting things like the lord of the rings in full version and i got a
01:16:52.680
copyright sued for copyright you know problems then i would not have i would be a publisher even though
01:16:59.720
i'm allowing people to openly post i'm going to be treated like a publisher that doesn't make any
01:17:04.760
sense either right that's probably the nuance jeff is talking about in the last interview no
01:17:08.840
if you're a publisher and you do not edit people then you then you get the full protection you say
01:17:16.280
i'm not responsible for what other people post okay so i can't be sued but i want specific content
01:17:23.240
if i'm doing a site that's cooking tips and people see posting links to porn why can't i stop them if
01:17:28.760
i'm a religious social network and people are then you're a publisher not not if it's a social network
01:17:33.480
and other people are posting on it all the time i'm not then you have to that what you have to do
01:17:37.240
is then you have to have the people read everything and say sorry reject sorry not going to do that
01:17:43.080
sorry not going to do that and if we go down that road too aren't we essentially guaranteeing just the
01:17:46.760
internet as a right because then i mean if people just doesn't everyone suppose i mean this is something
01:17:52.680
the left argues all the time the fundamental right for people to access the internet which somehow
01:17:56.360
didn't exist until the internet came along this is it's a strange way to talk about a fundamental
01:18:01.800
god-given right with something that didn't exist but i mean you you if you have a right to post on
01:18:07.720
facebook certainly you have a right to the internet correct right so and i don't are you comfortable
01:18:13.640
guaranteeing a right to the internet i'm not no write it in the constitution if you want it no i don't
01:18:18.520
think anybody has a right to the internet yeah i don't either i mean i just feel like there's a lot
01:18:23.400
of talk around that of where this is a first amendment infringement and just because facebook has all
01:18:28.040
the people on it doesn't mean that you get to post on it you can post you can post on
01:18:31.720
another network and it might have less audience but you're not guaranteed an audience okay let me uh
01:18:35.960
let me talk to you about a letter that came in because i think a lot of people i'm going to run
01:18:41.800
out of time a lot of people don't realize how important the silencing of voices is glenn i was
01:18:50.200
listening to your show um about the issue of tucker carlson and what he's facing i want to reach out and
01:18:55.800
share my story it's somewhat similar to what's happening to many people who are not towing the
01:19:01.160
leftist line a few weeks ago i was offered a job with the company it was very exciting
01:19:05.880
the position offered higher pay more upward mobility than where i was currently working
01:19:10.520
the entire process from the interview to the job offer took about a month the company contacted me
01:19:15.560
in late january asked if i would be interested in a position with them i did not apply with them first
01:19:21.080
they sought me out after five interviews i was offered the position on february 22nd the following
01:19:27.320
monday february 25th i signed my job offer in the new company and i turned in my two weeks notice
01:19:33.560
my new company was very interested in me starting earlier than two weeks and asked me to let me know
01:19:38.680
let them know if my current job would make me work out the two weeks or not well they didn't make
01:19:43.320
me work out the two weeks my last day was then was february 26th i let my new employer know that
01:19:48.360
i'd be able to start earlier and my new start date was to be march 4th rather than the 11th
01:19:53.320
i met with my new boss and my team that i would be working with on wednesday everything seemed fine
01:19:58.760
then late friday evening march 1st i received a phone call from the regional human resource manager
01:20:06.200
stating that my job offer would have to be revoked because another employee there had googled my name
01:20:12.840
and gone on to my facebook page the a uh the hr manager said the employee had found some posts from
01:20:19.240
back in october 2018 that violated their anti-bullying concerning the lgbtq community
01:20:26.360
the hr manager read me the posts and i honestly didn't even remember them but she turned uh but
01:20:31.880
the term she mentioned it being offensive is a term that is often used by people i think was coined by
01:20:37.400
rush limbaugh a term limbaugh that is is used uh in describing transition surgery from male to female i
01:20:44.600
don't know what that term is uh both of the posts the hr manager read to me were obviously only meant
01:20:50.280
as a joke i defended myself the best i could but to no avail as the hr manager repeatedly said there
01:20:56.440
was nothing that could be done and advised that i apply for unemployment as soon as possible i am not
01:21:02.840
aware as to yet if i have been approved for unemployment or not but i now have no employment
01:21:08.040
because of them revoking their job offer and me having already left my other job i have since
01:21:14.200
made my facebook page private but one did not have to be on my page for longer than two seconds to see
01:21:20.760
that i am a conservative i believe this is why i was targeted until something was found that someone
01:21:27.240
felt they could use against me like tucker carlson everyday individuals are facing this kind of attack
01:21:33.240
and we are suffering greatly for it i have no media platform for myself which is why i'm reaching out
01:21:38.760
to you to help get my story out conservative and independent thinkers must be on guard at all times
01:21:45.160
in everything we say and do we are under attack and the left is seeking whatever means necessary to
01:21:51.000
destroy us as in my case where i no longer have employment and i'm struggling every day to find another
01:21:57.240
job i'm just one of the millions of americans who live paycheck to paycheck we are all the target

01:24:48.920
maybe americans are these haters and all these things are happening or perhaps
01:24:55.880
a vast majority of them are hoaxes there is a professor of political science who has written
01:25:05.960
a new book and has done the research examining all of these uh hate crimes and he's come to a very
01:25:15.320
interesting conclusion we go there in one minute
01:25:19.560
this is the glenbeck program man did you see you know remember the hate hoax we told you about
01:25:28.760
last week remember that one stew where the uh the uh the mayor of this town this volunteer mayor of
01:25:34.360
this town i think it was in south carolina uh said somebody has spray painted my car and while there
01:25:39.480
weren't any words on it i know this is because i'm black and right well they put that yellow sticky
01:25:45.080
stuff all over their cars both of their cars too not just one of them yeah her husband as well and
01:25:50.200
several neighbors down the street that had parked you know i assume because it's maybe a a neighborhood
01:25:55.320
of color don't know well it was very yellow it turns out that was all pollen oh um and uh and you know
01:26:02.280
the trees are very racist we know i mean they they volunteered their use in several crosses that were
01:26:09.400
burnt years and years ago so terrible uh anyway it's uh it's that time of year though it's that time
01:26:15.160
of year for uh for pollen to do all kinds of hate crimes on you your cars and your sinuses uh right now
01:26:25.000
houston is going over uh a an alert it is one of the uh one of the worst cities for allergies

01:27:18.040
dr will reilly is uh with us now doctor how are you sir good how are you very good you should refer
01:27:27.480
to me as a doctor as well i'm uh of course a doctor of humanities which means i can operate
01:27:32.280
on any portion of the body i don't know if you know that but uh or at least the mind
01:27:38.680
or none of it anyway um you are a real uh professor a doctor of political science and you have uh
01:27:46.280
looked through all of the hate crimes that have been reported over the what last 15 years
01:27:52.520
well uh it's actually a closer time frame than that or a narrower time frame i mean my book focuses
01:27:59.320
in on really the last five years five my research window was 2012 to 2017 so i guess last six and a
01:28:07.080
half years now but yeah what i find is that a very large number i wouldn't say of all hate crimes if you
01:28:13.720
look at the allegation that someone had a word shouted at them outside of fraternity party and
01:28:17.560
either black or white individual but a very large percentage of the high profile widely reported
01:28:23.240
recent hate crimes more than half have been faked so i mean we saw jesse smollett uh a couple weeks
01:28:28.920
ago now man claimed that he was beaten up at two o'clock in the morning in chicago by two white
01:28:35.560
bodybuilders with maga hats on they turned out to be nigerian that had a rope a gallon bottle of bleach
01:28:41.480
um they chanted build the wall this is maga country that turned out to be a complete fraud he's
01:28:47.080
currently facing 16 felony charges um literally a week before that we saw covington catholic where
01:28:53.640
the claim was that this group of prep school athletes had surrounded a literal native american
01:28:58.680
indian elder i think he was a shaman they chanted build the wall they tried to take his tribe's sacred
01:29:04.040
rain drum um and going back through a whole bunch of these i mean you've got eastern michigan the
01:29:09.960
graffiti incidents targeting african-american students allegedly air force academy where a general
01:29:16.120
literally had to show up on campus and speak denouncing racism a young black girl in grand
01:29:21.240
rapids who claimed that boorish white men literally urinated on her pretty painful to read key in
01:29:26.840
college with the death threats wisconsin parkside with the nooses just a few more but i mean uva the
01:29:33.080
virginia quote-unquote rape scandal a couple of years ago where the fraternities were allegedly running
01:29:38.200
anti-feminist rape rings that made the front cover of rolling stone kind of the og scandal duke lacrosse
01:29:44.840
all of these turned out to be fake um and because i had personally had some connection with two fake
01:29:51.560
hate crime incidents in chicago as a graduate student one of the city's best known sort of young
01:29:57.000
hipster bars burned down the owner said that this was because he was a gay man that turned out to be
01:30:02.200
false i became interested in why there was this remarkably high rate of false reporting in this
01:30:08.600
category so i mean i think there's some good jokes and so on in the book but i used modern scientific
01:30:12.680
technology to look into why so what you found um i'll let you reveal but it is uh
01:30:21.880
it's very sol alinsky or in a way it's very progressive in a way that um people feel
01:30:30.680
justified in doing it yeah well i think they're that's it that's an excellent point um so i think
01:30:37.480
there are a couple of levels there the first is just that there are a very large number of hate
01:30:42.280
crime hoaxes and frauds this isn't as it sometimes presented i think there's an article in vox actually
01:30:48.600
after jesse smollett just a few cases being amplified by the right i mean putting together
01:30:54.040
hopes i was able to fairly easily compile a data set of 409 confirmed hate crime hoaxes
01:30:59.800
uh that's currently up to 516 almost all of these occurred within the last five years as i said that
01:31:06.280
data set's available to anyone who wants it by the way i've gone on a range of right and left media i'm
01:31:10.520
very confident in that would you would you would you put uh what was the kid's name that was killed
01:31:16.840
with the hoodie you know this could be my son trayvon martin would you put trayvon martin in that category
01:31:24.040
no actually i just because i think this is something that'll be challenged not just in that public sector where
01:31:28.920
i enjoyed debating and arguing but in academia i defined a hate crime hoax very narrowly actually
01:31:34.520
the data set usually could be three or four times as large as it is um and i explicitly didn't include
01:31:40.200
most sexual assaults there's a fairly high rate of false reporting there as well especially on the
01:31:44.520
campus uh and i explicitly didn't include a lot of these police shootings and the reason for that is
01:31:50.760
that there was no filed charge of hate crime the initial allocation was that this is a hate crime per
01:31:56.200
se but if you look at a bunch of those like michael brown that is i would say an additional example
01:32:01.240
a different type of example of a false created narrative if you remember hands up don't shoot
01:32:06.840
yes uh the gentle giant he was walking away from the police they said he had tears on his face right
01:32:12.920
and he was shot down in cold blood it turns out that michael brown had committed a strong armed robbery
01:32:18.680
of another person of color sympathetic local store owner well liked earlier that day
01:32:23.160
uh he came into conflict with the police because he was walking literally down the median of a busy
01:32:28.760
street cop couldn't tolerate that got out of his car to confront him brown grabbed the officer's gun
01:32:34.280
these are big men i mean michael brown was 17 18 65 darren wilson was six four there's a vicious
01:32:39.320
struggle brown's fingerprints are on the slide of the weapon the trigger guard of the weapon i mean
01:32:44.200
i'm a pistol instructor i know that means wilson finally discharged i believe two shots and
01:32:48.280
unfortunately there's there's a death but the many of those narratives and this will be in my next
01:32:52.840
book actually but many of these narratives that come out of the black lives matter movement and
01:32:57.000
also the alt-right response to that by the way are in addition fictional but those those are not in
01:33:02.040
this book this is just about fake hate crimes and there were more than enough to fill up a book
01:33:07.000
you know i i i want to go deeper into this with you i'm going to take a break for a minute um but i have
01:33:12.440
to ask you this you're also a uh a gun instructor yeah i'm a pistol instructor for the national rifle
01:33:21.640
association i also do uh hand-to-hand combat martial arts but i mean the ability to kill your enemies is
01:33:26.440
exactly equivalent to the right to be free how the hell are you a professor i mean you are an oddball you
01:33:34.280
what what how did you get that job well or let me say that how did you keep that job well there's
01:33:41.560
there's a funny answer there and that's that i teach you the historically black college uh
01:33:45.560
political correctness minorities blacks and asians tend to vote for conservative but democratic
01:33:50.520
political candidates vote heavily for the democrats i'd like to see that change so there's more
01:33:54.680
valuation of your vote but the entire far left culture of outrage um whether that's the trans
01:34:02.120
movement perhaps or constant marches through campus against racism that's to a large extent absent
01:34:08.360
from the black colleges where everyone in leadership is an upper middle class black guy
01:34:12.600
so i mean i would say that probably 20 of our professors are conservatives i would say i've
01:34:18.120
gotten really no backlash about writing the book so it is interesting to contrast that at kentucky
01:34:23.080
wow wow to contract that with a primarily white institution of equivalent size and rank where you'd be
01:34:31.160
talking about evergreen state portland state drake um so again obviously heavily democratic voters to
01:34:39.480
some extent when we vote in the black community but every single one of the most extreme outraged
01:34:45.880
leftists i've ever met is a privileged upper middle class white kid so i actually think that where i am
01:34:51.160
teaching it is fairly accepted that i've written a right-leaning book all right hang on just a second take one
01:34:57.000
minute uh break i want to tell you about our sponsor it is field of greens
01:35:03.800
field of greens is the way i'm not a vegetarian like stew is i mean i love that of you i'm a vegetarian
01:35:11.880
that doesn't like vegetables how is that how do you exist uh well you eat what do you eat largely
01:35:18.040
cheese and sugar if i had to say i mean sugar is kind of a vegetable if you think about it it grows
01:35:25.240
it's a plant so your honor i'm telling you man your honor it is a vegetable it is absolutely
01:35:32.760
a vegetable i just happen to smoke it you've never roasted any tomatoes or chilies or anything
01:35:40.200
same thing dude um a field of greens is a way for you to get your fruits and vegetables that you need
01:35:47.000
every day um but you don't have to actually eat them which i like um you can you could just uh
01:35:55.400
you know you can sprinkle it in food uh you can mix it into whatever you're drinking it's just a
01:35:59.880
teaspoon full and you just drop but dump it into the whatever you're drinking and and drink it back and
01:36:05.000
you've got everything you need this is not a supplement this is the real nutrition this is the real
01:36:10.760
stuff out of the food you'll see ingredients not supplements supplements yeah supplements are things
01:36:17.160
that you know it's like rhino horn you drink that and it shuts your kidneys down this is the real
01:36:23.720
stuff all right brickhouse glenn.com use the promo code glenn get 15 off of your uh your first order of
01:36:31.240
field of greens at brickhouse glenn.com promo code glenn we break for 10 seconds station id
01:36:40.760
professor of political science uh dr uh will riley he is the author of hate crime hoax um so tell me
01:37:04.760
will why um people are doing this at such a great rate that's a great question i think that there are
01:37:13.720
two uh real reasons you can discuss first at the individual level uh i have a law degree as well as
01:37:19.800
a phd and i've always found that people commit crimes for sort of tawdry personal reasons money sex
01:37:26.600
local notoriety you see that at the individual level with hate crime hoaxers as well uh so for example
01:37:34.120
there was a case involving the business continental spices cash and carry which was a muslim arab american
01:37:40.760
owned business the owner burnt this to the ground essentially to commit an act of insurance fraud
01:37:46.520
and wrote things like arab go home throughout the business which he thought would speed up the
01:37:50.840
insurance investigation and make him sympathetic and that was that was nearly successful so that is
01:37:55.720
one level of motivation at the next level of motivation though the reason these cases get famous is
01:38:01.080
that you have an extraordinarily entrenched grievance industry in the usa and they have a problem
01:38:06.760
economically because at this point in history the demand for bigots greatly exceeds the supply
01:38:15.320
in entire areas of u.s public life whether that's affirmative action uh minority set-asides i mean you
01:38:23.320
might be interested no i could buy a radio station at about half price um whether that's the budgets for
01:38:29.560
the massive activist groups i always mention when i speak southern poverty law center's endowment is
01:38:34.520
up to 432 million last year yeah that's actually slightly more than my university which is a state
01:38:40.680
institution i mean that's just below the ivy league in terms of endowments i mean that's something very
01:38:45.720
different from current liquid capital and it is it is clearly clearly an organ of the left oh yeah i think
01:38:54.840
that's you've seen that pretty recently where fairly mainstream groups quilliam foundation family
01:39:00.280
research council certainly conservative but i think they were added to the list because of their views
01:39:04.120
on uh lgbt right but i mean very mainstream groups sort of center right entity like quilliam have been
01:39:11.080
declared hate groups and they've begun to sue i mean quilliam was awarded three million uh very recently
01:39:15.960
and i i agree with that verdict from a legal background but essentially the justification for the
01:39:21.560
existence of this entire substructure of society where you know one dollar and twelve interacts
01:39:27.240
in some way with an affirmative action program we say in business or spLC has a half billion dollar
01:39:32.120
endowment the justification is that we're still at war here in the usa there's still violent racial abuse
01:39:38.600
fairly frequently at a fairly high level and we find empirically that that is not true um the usa desegregated
01:39:46.200
in 1954 at that time the only remaining legally segregated region of the country was the deep
01:39:52.120
south uh civil rights act 1965 made racism criminally and civilly illegal pro-minority affirmative action
01:39:59.240
which didn't hurt me when i was applying to law school began in 1967 it's 52 years old so in fact
01:40:05.080
it takes a lot of effort to come up with enough bigotry to justify all of this and where none can be
01:40:10.680
found some might have to be invented so have you found a coordinated effort or like like like small
01:40:19.720
yet um i don't know what his motivation was some say it was for his profile or show or whatever but i
01:40:26.920
i believe there are a lot of people that believe that this this stuff is happening and we know it we
01:40:34.920
just have to get out and make the case and because it's all unreported or because of that i'm justified
01:40:41.720
in in creating this because it gets the word out well i think there are two levels of analysis there so
01:40:50.200
first of all although i view them as political opponents uh you know the other team obviously
01:40:55.720
the spLC isn't you know out there faking hate crimes but are individuals falsifying hate crimes because
01:41:01.960
they believe that they are contributing because they believe that they are falsifying something
01:41:07.240
that frequently occurs in reality absolutely yes um we saw a case at the university of michigan where
01:41:13.560
a young woman hayley bass claimed that she was brutally attacked because she was wearing pins symbolizing
01:41:19.320
american and european conservative causes turned out to be a fake and sympathetic character there's no
01:41:23.560
reason to even discuss that in great depth but the motivator for her doing this was another claim on
01:41:29.400
the michigan campus that a hijabi muslim woman had been threatened with a beating with being set on
01:41:33.800
fire she didn't take off her hijab and that turned out to be fake and the case that inspired that one
01:41:39.080
turned out to be fake so yeah i think that there very definitely is at the individual level a narrative
01:41:44.920
of i'm fighting for social justice by doing this i think that the more dangerous or influential level
01:41:50.840
there though occurs when you start talking about the media or about discursive creators
01:41:55.400
so i mean there's a very old line from mark twain it's always a problem to pick a fight with people
01:42:00.600
that buy ink by the barrel and you can add have you know professional video and movie cameras to that
01:42:05.960
today so many of the things that are presented to the average american taxpayer by the msm the
01:42:12.120
center-left mass media are not real and i talk about this in the book actually you brought up black
01:42:17.320
lives matter i hadn't seen this done by anyone but heather mcdonald who is an actual scientist so i
01:42:22.440
used resources like killed by police dot net to find out how many brothers how many african-american
01:42:27.960
men were actually being killed by police in a typical year and it turns out to be a tiny infinitesimal
01:42:33.480
number um in the year i used 2015 there were less than 1200 people killed by police in any way including
01:42:39.960
auto wrecked in the whole country of those only 258 were african-american of those only 200 were
01:42:47.640
actually killed by violence and so on down the line so what you finally wound up with was and my
01:42:52.200
numbers might be off by one or two but 17 unarmed black men in the country of 350 million people
01:42:58.440
were killed specifically by white police officers the reason we think this is a narrative is that
01:43:03.560
every single one of those cases is going to be broadcast by media resources like cnn and msnbc
01:43:11.240
and this kind of narrative creation occurs in a lot of different arenas for example so interracial
01:43:17.240
crime is something that people with phds in the media sector have found attracts the attention of
01:43:23.240
all major races it's clickbait if you will but the problem here is that interracial crime itself is
01:43:29.000
not a problem in the united states uh if you look at murder 85 of white murder victims 94 of black
01:43:35.320
murder victims that's unbelievable are killed by people of the same race a person most likely to kill
01:43:40.360
use your ex-wife further when murder does occur interracially or when crime occurs interracially
01:43:46.680
that's about 70 plus percent black on white not vice versa so to get this entire narrative of whites
01:43:52.520
frequently attacking law-abiding middle-class black people you essentially are taking a tiny number of
01:43:58.200
cases and either exaggerating them wildly or simply repeating the same stories over and over and that's
01:44:04.120
what i mean by narrative creation so um first of all let me tell you what i got out of uh that
01:44:10.760
and i got a lot but the main thing was um kill your ex-wife before she kills you um the definitely
01:44:16.920
you hit on the high points uh you're just how do you respond to you're just somebody that is you know
01:44:27.320
another white racist that is trying to cover the tracks uh of of you know your you know your uh
01:44:37.320
your the your masters that are pulling your strings oh glenn i mean you kind of gave me a softball
01:44:43.000
there the quickest answer is that i'm black um but i mean being being a bit less glib i mean i'm a pro
01:44:49.240
black black professor at a you know nationally respected black college i mean there's still
01:44:54.440
130 odd hbcus that rank pretty well among the nation's colleges so no i'm not a racist at all
01:45:01.160
and i think the the labeling in the u.s this is actually something that goes beyond partisanship
01:45:07.560
the sort of internet troll culture that's spread out of 4chan where any liberal debater is you know
01:45:13.160
a damn red commie and any conservative debaters are racist i don't think that's really productive at
01:45:16.920
all no i'm center-right politically i am not racist i'm not caucasian for that matter so i
01:45:24.040
think that if you're a normal taxpayer and someone comes up to you and says you're a racist the
01:45:28.680
default response should be you're a bleepin idiot it shouldn't be it shouldn't be an attempt to defend
01:45:34.760
yourself like i mean i played high school varsity sports with mostly black teams and a lot of black
01:45:38.840
buddies because i'm black i wouldn't say that at all i would just say you're an idiot i would i would
01:45:45.080
love to have you back and talk some more you are very funny and well informed uh and have a message
01:45:52.440
that america needs to hear the name of the book is hate crime hoax you're listening to glenn beck
01:46:00.200
that's some real meat uh on the bone to help you argue uh with your friends all right um let me uh
01:46:07.240

01:47:03.720
on the early side of it but it's not the only place it's being attacked on glenn tv tonight
01:47:08.280
we get into the other part of it it's justice back
01:47:13.720
well i'm i'm glad you're here today this is the glenn beck program
01:47:20.920
i'm breaking a what about an 18 year tradition uh this weekend of avoiding tony robbins
01:47:29.560
tony the motivational speaker yeah i watched him like 18 years ago something like that and
01:47:35.720
i was like man i got this guy is great this guy is great and i was so excited when i watched him
01:47:43.240
and i ordered that stupid you know 39 set cdvd thing to get yourself motivated it arrived cost
01:47:51.480
me i don't know how much it cost me it arrived i never had the motivation to open it i really i was
01:47:57.480
like i i'd like to open it but oh it's not really your fault they should put a message on the outside of
01:48:04.120
the box that gets you motivated to open the box i mean it's really tony's fault i agree like if they
01:48:09.720
need a recorded message that just constantly plays once it gets delivered so i called him
01:48:13.800
you can open this box you can do it you know something like that so i called him a couple
01:48:18.360
of years ago and i'm like tony tony tony i just need some motivation and he's like dude come on out i'm
01:48:27.320

something i don't want to deal with that so even though i know i have an issue that i want to solve
01:50:38.600
i don't want to actually i mean what's really horrible is i pursued tony i i called tony right
01:50:44.520
and i'm like tony i really and he's like dude yeah i'll help you man that's easy let's go
01:50:53.400

01:51:00.120
around a bunch of people who are like hey i mean generalized shush too much energy yeah you know
01:51:07.160
what i mean it's like like a morning people yeah he's kind of like a constant morning person yeah
01:51:11.240
it's like tony can we get it when do we i'm motivated to take a nap when i'm gonna take a nap
01:51:17.720
it'd be really funny if you got out there he was just like slounging around on his couch all day
01:51:21.240
he's like i got nothing i got nothing i'm just in my boxers he doesn't even get dressed when he
01:51:24.840
here's the deal just uh just go home and do what you were doing before and just be cool with it
01:51:31.160
just this is this is just an excuse for the wife tell her you came out here you got motivated let's
01:51:34.840
just watch netflix that like that i'm cool with that that would be a cool by the way i saw i was
01:51:40.200
very motivated to see the ricky gervais uh show on netflix very yeah there's a new one right what's
01:51:46.680
the name um after death after after life after life it is so good really
01:51:54.680
it is so good now i want you to know that it's english and they use the c word there but the c
01:52:02.360
word doesn't mean the same thing there as it does here okay that should have been tucker carlson's
01:52:07.560
defense right right i'm english i swear i don't think he used the c word oh oh did he that was part
01:52:12.760
of the tape okay um anyway but they use it they use it in a different way it's not it doesn't mean
01:52:19.560
the same i think i honestly think he used it in that way what does it what does it actually mean
01:52:25.400
uh tucker carlson does what does it mean in in great britain uh where's craig somebody don't don't
01:52:31.800
no no he'll still say it we can't know he won't say it he won't but he'll tell you what it was because
01:52:36.360
i asked him i i'm like what is your deal he's craig is my new assistant uh and uh he is from scotland
01:52:43.320
yes and uh and and i and i just asked him at one point what is your deal meaning you people that
01:52:50.680
lived on that island what is your deal with the use of the c word and he's like it's crazy he's
01:52:57.320
like it's just it's what we call blokes you know he's like that's that's we that's what we call each
01:53:02.600
other he said it's not like it is here and i'm like well it is here and he's like oh no i learned
01:53:09.240
that quickly quickly not to use that word oh that's that's true because they also have the the
01:53:17.000
f word uh slur for gays but that means cigarettes and i mean that's uh that could be a real problem
01:53:24.760
cultural can be it can be a problem if if you know there might be like some country and you know
01:53:30.520
in the world where like the n word means you know cereal and it's like that would be a real problem
01:53:37.320
if you came over to visit right so but what this show is i have never seen a show like this and
01:53:43.400
this is truly an example of the golden age of television um there's no network that would have
01:53:51.560
ever allowed this to go on not not because of just the language which is strong at times um but
01:53:58.920
because it's real it really is real it starts out with this guy who uh lost his wife
01:54:07.880
um and she died of cancer and they were and that's ricky gervais it's his wife and he's just
01:54:14.520
devastated he loved her you know uh like like nobody like i love tanya just crushed without her okay
01:54:25.080
and so he's really depressed and and suicidal and just is like you know he's decided why am i
01:54:32.440
accepting any social norms and these aren't funny social norms i mean he is in the first episode he
01:54:38.520
is so dark he's just telling people uh you know hey you've got a great opportunity no you don't
01:54:45.960
life is horrible people are horrible they're a virus it would be better if everyone was dead
01:54:51.800
i thinking about killing myself i thought about it this morning i might just go upstairs and throw myself
01:54:56.280
off the building and i mean it and you're like okay uh and so he's really dark and the way the show
01:55:05.080
is it's only five or six episodes and it shows him healing and it shows him figuring out no wait it's
01:55:15.080
not about me and because he's an atheist and he's like you know well i don't i'm not living i'd rather
01:55:21.160
be nowhere than here without her and uh you know i don't believe in god so i don't have to be nice to
01:55:29.240
anybody i don't have to do anything i can just die tomorrow and i'm going to the same place and i'd
01:55:34.200
rather die and it shows it through this series of people that he meets and friends and and and
01:55:40.600
things that he does how he gets through that and by the really in the by the second episode you love
01:55:48.920
this character and it's not you know and he's not likable this is it all serious is it just a drama
01:55:55.240
or so the first one is the first one it said it's comedy in the first one i watched the first episode
01:56:00.200
i'm like that wasn't funny and then the second one was like that had some funny parts and the third
01:56:06.520
one this is getting funny fourth one the fifth one which is the one is six episodes the fifth one i
01:56:13.880
watched last night with tanya i love listening to my wife laugh it is my favorite thing in the whole
01:56:20.200
world you i what heaven will be to me is tanya laughing i just love it she has the funniest laugh and i
01:56:29.560
love it when she's happy and you lost the ability to make her laugh approximately 20 years ago no but
01:56:34.040
i gained it last night i said honey honey honey come here you have to watch you have to watch this
01:56:39.000
scene and it was a scene that we laughed so hard she couldn't breathe i couldn't breathe and when we
01:56:45.960
caught our breath i said let's watch it again and she was like no no i heard i heard and then we
01:56:50.120
watched it again it was hysterical one of the funniest things i have seen in a forever forever
01:56:59.400
you will love this oh no you sold me i have to watch this it is it is uh it's an atheist just
01:57:07.080
want to warn you going in if you're somebody who's like i don't like atheists well you're not gonna like
01:57:11.240
this show then if you if you can't handle rough language it's very rough uh language if you don't
01:57:18.920
like darkness and i don't mean darkness like an evil i mean they deal with i mean he starts taking
01:57:26.680
heroin he's like why not why not i've never tried heroin i thought the same thing this morning why
01:57:31.960
not i never tried it it's probably great people seem to really like it want some anyway uh um
01:57:38.840
uh the it you know it's it's it's a rough yeah it's yeah it's a rough show but it is really good
01:57:46.520
ricky gervais is brilliant if you could just give this sell to tony robbins there's no way you're doing
01:57:51.480
any work this don't see i'm just be like we can watch this it's great you've got to see it tony
01:57:56.520
and give him the whole cell i wonder who's better at selling him or me i tell you what tony by the
01:58:05.240
end of the week i'll either be walking on the coals or you'll be watching ricky gervais with me
01:58:12.120
i think there's a chance that he turns out this weekend is just never motivated again
01:58:15.560
like you ruin his entire career because he just becomes a sloth like you i have to call him
01:58:20.680
banana hands and i haven't done that yet and and and and i hope that i mean he's six seven do i risk
01:58:26.600
the no he'll kill you but that'll be funny it was it was in a movie he was called banana hands yeah
01:58:31.240
oh yeah brilliant controlled script environment you'll get killed right you think so yeah i mean
01:58:35.560
he seems like he you know he's got a sense of humor well yeah find out you should try it definitely i'm
01:58:41.320
going to i'm gonna say that's what i'm gonna say because we've not met each other we've talked
01:58:45.400
to each other but we've not met each other and that's how i'm gonna go i'm gonna i'm gonna walk
01:58:49.160
right up to him put my hand out banana hands and then see how it goes from there i bet well you
01:58:56.120
should definitely try it and also have it filmed just how much how much i i mean what are the odds
01:59:01.480
that i don't do that stew yeah you probably will because that you're thinking it might get you out
01:59:05.640

02:01:17.800
posted uh you need to share it with some friends we shared that with you part one today part two
02:01:22.840
tomorrow uh also we had a lot of conversation about freedom of speech today and what is freedom of
02:01:30.120
speech and how are we how are we empowering those who are are stopping freedom of speech uh well we
02:01:38.520
looked at uh we've looked at media matters a little bit last couple days because the tucker carlson story
02:01:43.000
daily caller decided to go back and look at uh what was the head of media matters writing at the time
02:01:49.720
tucker carlson was going on bubba the love sponge like what what were his words like at that point
02:01:54.760
apparently had a blog uh you know and he's not a person who's known for really anything but he had a
02:02:00.360
blog uh and he wrote about um how uh derogatory uh references to trannies uh jewelry oh my gosh not
02:02:11.160
jewelry but jewelry um and bangladeshis uh he said uh he couldn't believe that uh they would use the
02:02:20.520
word attractive in describing someone who was from bangladesh he said uh that he called he wrote about
02:02:27.640
an author is that writer a tranny lover um he went on to say that people who um should go should stay
02:02:35.880
away from tranny bars and stay away from places where eddie murphy and robert downey jr are visiting
02:02:41.320
don't effing kiss a transvestite and don't bring a group of transvestites back to your room um he went
02:02:49.480
on and on and and and also called uh people from japan japs oh my gosh uh yep uh so of course this is
02:02:58.600
exactly and this is part of a strategy it's bigger than just him being as bad as he is and he obviously
02:03:05.160
not not a good guy but this is why you put a giant zilch in front of one of these on top of
02:03:10.280
one of these organizations because there's no loss right it's why it's why terrorists put on you know
02:03:15.720
they put uh vests not on osama bin laden but on some dolt down the street so they can walk out there
02:03:21.400
and blow themselves up to do the damage that's the theory behind media matters why david brock isn't
02:03:25.640
there anymore he's doing other stuff he's living the high life and he puts dolts like this in this
02:03:30.440
position of power so that if he gets taken out it doesn't matter it's essentially a terrorist
02:03:34.920
attack he blows himself up with a suicide vest he blows himself up with a suicide and you know
02:03:38.760
what's amazing is there's been no pushback on him i bet you he still is that guy i bet he's still
02:03:44.840
that guy because yes you're right he doesn't have any he doesn't have anybody pushing back on him
