And if your dog loves it as much as our dogs do, then order the bigger bag and see the difference in your dog.
00:00:56.300
What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:01:18.660
I have been looking at a story all weekend, a little perplexed.
00:01:25.160
It is the story of the largest gasoline pipeline in the country that was shut down by cyber hackers on Friday.
00:01:34.960
It's still down and it's dramatically going to affect gas prices, especially over the Labor Day weekend.
00:01:44.360
Here's here's the part of the story I'm confused by.
00:01:49.440
The journalists seem to care about the price of gasoline for the first time.
00:01:55.380
And is it because they actually care or is it because they're trying not to focus on the fact that this was an attack most likely from Russia?
00:02:05.180
And it isn't the first cyber attack from Russia of the year.
00:02:15.420
Maybe we should be paying attention to Vladimir Putin.
00:02:26.220
One of the things you should value most in your life is peace of mind.
00:02:33.980
For over two decades, American financing has been helping people just like you find financial peace of mind, helping you do whatever it is you need to do, like lowering your rate, paying off your debt or financing a new home, guiding you through straightforward mortgage experience without any pressure.
00:02:55.860
And if you're going to get a loan, if you think you might want to refi or make a consolidation loan or you're in the market for a new home, now is the time to do it.
00:03:10.520
Credit is going to become a lot harder to come by soon.
00:03:15.960
Saving money in the best of times is a great idea.
00:03:20.600
Saving money in the not so best of times is even a better idea.
00:03:24.460

The largest gasoline pipeline in the country was shut down on Friday.
00:03:54.460
It was a sophisticated ransomware attack, which experts are calling the most dramatic cyber attack on U.S. soil to date.
00:04:13.360
The most dramatic cyber attack on U.S. soil to date, specifically targeting our infrastructure.
00:04:22.440
The story goes on to say the president was alerted on Saturday.
00:04:43.900
The president was briefed on it and told of it on Saturday?
00:04:50.220
There's a little thing that maybe I think maybe we should probably look into.
00:04:58.660
There are now fears of major spikes in gas, oil, and diesel prices
00:05:03.740
after, quote, the jugular of the U.S. fuel pipeline system is forced to suspend operations.
00:05:16.800
Unless we sort it out by Tuesday, that's tomorrow, they're in big trouble.
00:05:22.340
The first areas to be impacted would be Atlanta and Tennessee.
00:05:28.460
He said oil future traders are now scrambling to meet the demand
00:05:37.560
is on the rise as consumers return to the roads and the economy recovers.
00:05:42.600
President Biden briefed on the situation on Saturday
00:05:49.540
it's the most significant and successful attack on energy infrastructure
00:05:56.900
The hackers are likely a professional cybercriminal group
00:06:10.460
The Bloomberg News cited people familiar with the matter
00:06:13.820
reported late on Saturday that the hackers are part of DarkSide
00:06:17.560
and it took nearly 100 gigabytes of data out of Colonial's network,
00:07:04.840
Well, I think he didn't even say World War III will be fought.
00:07:10.080
It's already started and the West doesn't know it
00:41:58.480
What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:43:10.700
You know those people that go around and they do the barbecue contests?
00:43:19.020
This was a group of guys who were like, we need a better grill.
00:43:22.000
And they built it so they could haul it around the entire country.
00:43:27.040
And then people started seeing it and go, where can I get one of those?
00:43:33.720
They are far superior to anything that you will find on the market.
00:43:45.860
And there's kind of a community of the people who do this.
00:43:49.300
And so they have a Rectech social media, which gives you all kinds of really great recipes and everything else.
00:44:01.600
Compare them to whatever grill you might be looking at.
00:44:21.720
Let's start with let's start with Roger Daltrey, who was with The Who.
00:44:32.940
I mean, The Who was they were a rebellious band.
00:44:36.300
I don't know when rock and roll went soft and lost its its real roots of rebellion, but apparently Daltrey hasn't.
00:44:47.040
This is from a podcast from Apple Music, an interview with DJ Zane Lowe.
00:44:54.360
Listen, it's becoming so absurd now with the AI doing all the tricks it can do.
00:44:59.360
And the woke generation is terrifying that the miserable world they're going to create for themselves.
00:45:04.380
I mean, anyone who's lived a life and you see what they're doing, you just know that it's a route to nowhere, especially when you've lived through the periods of a life that we've had the privilege to.
00:45:20.000
We came out of a leveled society, completely flattened bomb sites and everything.
00:45:27.680
We've seen the communist system failing in the Soviet Union.
00:45:33.280
They've been in those communist countries while they were communists.
00:45:48.520
I'm really concerned about his mental health because that's crazy talk.
00:45:53.440
You don't talk about the woke generation in that way.
00:45:59.640
I mean, quick, buy all the vinyl of the who you possibly can and of Roger Taltrey because it might get scarce soon.
00:46:09.660
Not to say that anybody would cancel anybody because we know that wouldn't ever happen.
00:46:26.540
You know, I don't agree with Liz on much politically, but, you know, that's how we grow as a country.
00:46:34.840
This whole thing that everybody ought to be marching in lockstep, that is what leads people to destruction.
00:46:48.240
We want to limit it to gender and sometimes to race.
00:46:57.700
My parents were Republicans, and I would love to see this party honor them.
00:47:02.140
But this party, Republican Party today, is showing so much dishonor to the people who made it possible.
00:47:09.560
The people who died from Abraham Lincoln kept this party alive on the basis of anti-slavery, which itself was a big lie.
00:47:29.620
They are perpetrating that which they argue that they're against.
00:47:45.540
And you're like, he's talking about how the Republicans are behind cancel culture.
00:47:51.060
And they're the ones, because of this Liz Cheney thing.
00:48:09.680
This is a party saying, you're out of step with our party.
00:48:15.380
Whether she is or not, that's for the party to decide.
00:48:18.320
And if you want to be a part of the party, then join the party and make those decisions.
00:48:26.680
There is, but there is something interesting, probably not worth hitting on, but it is odd
00:48:32.060
that you'd throw out someone who voted with Trump 93% of the time for someone who voted
00:48:38.020
for Trump 78% of the time and say it's a move toward, yeah, that's all totally different
00:48:46.120
Yeah, I think the problem, my problem with Liz Cheney is that she was, I think, underhanded.
00:48:53.600
She was part of this, you know, movement behind the scenes.
00:49:02.500
Yeah, no, it's just, it's interesting who they're, I don't know.
00:49:04.660
I mean, people get very, you know, a lot of people get, I think, tied up in the personalities
00:49:10.120
And it's like, well, it's interesting who the Republican Party is deciding to replace
00:49:16.160
I mean, it's just like, okay, she doesn't seem to be very much in line with Trump or
00:49:24.120
So we're going to take out someone who's voting with Trump 93% of the time and someone
00:49:29.900
who's in her last year in Congress, 67% of the time voted, voted with Trump and they're
00:49:41.620
This is going everywhere now, the cancel culture thing.
00:49:45.940
And it's interesting that it's become such an issue and it's so universally sort of despised
00:49:51.900
that the two answers to it from the left are, one, it doesn't exist.
00:49:56.080
They just claim it doesn't exist when you bring up, you know, clear cut examples.
00:50:01.320
And number two, that actually it does exist, but they're the victims of it, right?
00:50:11.620
Let me, let me show you an example of just freedom of thought that Clyburn is looking
00:50:17.420
This is a, this is a, uh, a woman, Azra Nomani.
00:50:21.420
She is talking to the Fairfax school board about the double standards in the pursuit of
00:50:30.160
And then by the fall, every single one of you voted to remove the merit-based race-blind
00:50:38.720
And we pled with you as Asians, as an immigrant, I came at the age of four.
00:50:47.640
And now I sit here listening to this empty proclamations and declarations that you're making
00:50:56.700
You tell us about you going Melanie Marin to Japanese restaurant.
00:51:00.880
Well, do you know that just a few weeks ago in social emotional learning at TJ, our students
00:51:08.440
were told that if they do salsa dancing, it amounts to cultural appropriation and that
00:51:16.300
And that is our mostly minority, mostly Asian students.
00:51:24.320
And then today we get this vacuous survey from you, Dr.
00:51:28.360
Brabrand, and you dare to tell us that you're going to consider removing the one policy that
00:51:35.440
parents have to defend their students from indoctrination and activism.
00:51:41.200
The policy that makes certain that anything taught in our school that is controversial
00:51:49.780
You have to just think for yourself, if you have to remove a policy like that, how can
00:51:56.960
And then this survey, it's just a loaded survey.
00:52:08.500
They've asked us the questions for the contract that you have now signed.
00:52:15.000
That will allow them to spend millions of dollars.
00:52:59.980
You can't shut them down and treat them like garbage.
00:53:08.280
Now, let me give you a response to the woke culture and to all of the crap that is happening from these radical Marxists.
00:53:16.280
And I'm not going to call them radical Marxists.
00:53:21.480
And it is from a great author of a really, I think, important book.
00:53:27.540
And he has his kid up in a very, very prominent, snotty New York school that's very woke.
00:53:38.100
And all of these snotty progressives are coming to him and going, I can't believe these Marxist radicals.
00:53:55.400
We're going to share it with you in 60 seconds.
00:54:03.040
You know, I'm guessing that you would go through maybe 100 of those timeshare seminars if they would say, and your free gift is, you're out of the timeshare at the end.
00:54:28.040
And all you have to do is contact the attorneys.
00:54:38.940
And, you know, I help talk people into these things all the time.
00:54:42.380
Well, I did before I realized how wrong it was.
00:54:45.840
Now I'm going to call my former colleagues, and I'm going to get you out of this.
00:54:56.080
Get a whole firm of attorneys that know exactly how to legally and permanently get you out.
00:55:03.560
Well, I don't have that, but I mean, I could possibly get you another Mai Tai.
00:55:20.880
Make sure you tell them that Glenn Beck sent you, because if you do, you'll get 20% off when you terminate your timeshare.
00:55:32.560
I'm terrified of the woke radicals at my kids' school.
00:55:49.500
Rarely a week goes by when I don't hear some variation on this gripe from fellow parents in New York City.
00:55:57.140
Invariably, they lower their voices, lest prying ears catch them objecting to the official ideology.
00:56:03.560
These are solidly liberal Manhattanites, mind you.
00:56:07.120
They don't just want their children, uh, they don't, they just don't want their children being told they carry the unwashable stain of racial sin.
00:56:18.440
And they'd really rather have their kids master real knowledge instead of being taught to meditate endlessly on their own race, gender, and sexuality.
00:56:26.980
As they're only out conservative that they know, I'm often the only person these parents can pour their anguish out to.
00:56:37.120
I worry just as much about those rise of the woke as they do.
00:56:41.820
Yet, I've come to view the ambient liberalism these New Yorkers take for granted as a big part of the problem.
00:56:50.360
It doesn't suffice to overcome wokeness because it forms people to be selfish and self-maximizing to avoid deep commitments of any kind.
00:57:00.320
Put another way, there's a reason these parents can find their gripes to the one conservative they know.
00:57:05.540
At the end of the day, they're prepared to tolerate woke rule if it means passing on their elite status to their prodigy.
00:57:14.140
If history of the 20th century totalitarianism should have taught us anything, it's that radicals can usually get the better of such people by playing on their yearning to get ahead in life.
00:57:27.980
Whereas the true dissidents and resistors, those who refuse to profess that 2 plus 2 equals 5 draw strength from faith, from tradition, and from true authority.
00:57:41.180
It's a message I've inscribed quite literally in my own son's identity by naming him after St. Maximilian Kolbe, one of the greatest Christian martyrs in my opinion.
00:57:54.460
Born to a pious family in central Poland in 1894, Kolbe joined the Franciscans at the age of 16.
00:58:05.900
Following doctoral studies in Rome and ordination as a priest, Kolbe returned to his homeland where he started a newspaper, a radio station, a monastic community outside of Warsaw.
00:58:15.520
He campaigned against communism and secularism and went to far-flung missions in the Far East.
00:58:22.960
Then came the German invasion of Poland, and with it Kolbe's greatest hour.
00:58:27.360
In 1941, the Nazis arrested and sent him to Auschwitz.
00:58:32.300
Father Maximilian Mary Kolbe became prisoner number 16670.
00:58:37.600
One night in July, an inmate escaped from Kolbe's block.
00:58:43.860
The camp deputy commandment, Carl Fritz, carried out his protocol for when inmates escaped.
00:58:51.540
He just randomly selected 10 men to die of starvation as the collective punishment for the one escapee.
00:59:00.440
But once the commandant pointed to one of the men, that man cried out,
00:59:18.620
Kolbe told him, I'd like to take his place because he has a wife and children.
00:59:22.840
And so he did, for a complete stranger in Auschwitz.
00:59:30.440
The writer of this op-ed said, When I learned Kolbe's story, I decided to name my son after him.
00:59:36.960
I was awestruck by how he climbed the summit of human freedom at Auschwitz, of all places,
00:59:41.960
and how he did this precisely by denying himself, by binding himself to the moral absolutes of his faith.
00:59:49.340
We equate freedom with the mere ability to choose from the wildest range of options,
00:59:57.160
unhindered by the authorities and restraints that guided traditional peoples.
01:00:02.400
For the pre-modern traditions, not least the West classic and Christian heritage,
01:00:13.020
Freedom for the good, and that meant self-mastery above all.
01:00:20.340
We, by contrast, seek self-gratification and well-being,
01:00:28.740
In practice, our version of freedom leaves the modern subject confused.
01:00:40.600
But to be bound to religious tradition and authorities, as Kolbe was,
01:00:47.940
The person who knows where he comes from and where he's headed
01:00:53.640
and he is prepared to sacrifice even unto death.
01:00:57.900
As we prepare to sacrifice anything in resistance to our centuries totalitarians,
01:01:06.240
The wokes, for all their absurdities, have moral vision,
01:01:14.120
but it's more than their live-and-let-live opponents in the upper east side possesses.
01:01:20.380
Unless we recover our deeper roots and bequeath what we find,
01:01:46.660
Discovering the Wisdom of Tradition in the Age of Chaos.
01:01:56.940
We're afraid to stand up because we will lose our place.
01:02:16.440
We don't have a moral compass, it seems, anymore.
01:02:21.440
One that is rooted in standing up because it's right.
01:02:27.240
Not for us, per se, but for future generations.
01:02:35.900
We didn't go over there because we would receive punishment if we didn't.
01:02:42.140
We went over there because we knew what was happening was wrong.
01:02:46.900
For a long time, Americans stayed away from the fight.
01:03:01.100
Well, the totalitarians are bombing our schools relentlessly with critical race theory.
01:03:08.100
What will it take for us to stand up and have the moral conviction to say,
01:03:18.060
I care about my country and my children's freedom.
01:03:25.700
Not our job, not our money, but our children's freedom.
01:03:29.880
You know, if you're a homeowner, you're the type who's fiscally responsible.
01:03:47.840
Right now, you could be a phone call away from a massive change for the better in your financial life.
01:03:54.140
Mortgage rates have been going down for, I don't know, over a year.
01:03:57.320
They continued to plummet month after month for a while to the point where it's not weird to see mortgage rates in the 2% range.
01:04:09.380
May I suggest I have seen 18% and 19% mortgage rates.
01:04:17.880
And this feels a little like Jimmy Carter years.
01:04:21.780
May I highly recommend that if you want to refi or you want a consolidation loan,
01:04:32.900
Credit is going to be very hard to come by in the near future.
01:04:48.140

01:05:03.000
Axios reported last week a job report for the ages.
01:05:07.360
April could see more than 2 million jobs added.
01:05:12.020
Reuters, U.S. economy likely created nearly a million jobs in April.
01:05:17.440
CNBC, April jobs expected to top 1 million as consumers boost the economy.
01:05:25.400
That's how many Wall Streeters think the U.S. created in April.
01:05:29.840
Barron's, get ready for a blockbuster jobs report of 1 million or more.
01:05:34.920
New York Times, jobs report is expected to show a big gain.
01:06:02.920
There was still some growth, Glenn, but it was just...
01:06:06.080
They just missed it by, you know, four or five times.
01:06:15.780
What's a few hundred thousand jobs among friends?
01:06:28.960
I thought they were expecting about a million new jobs, and they got 225,000 new jobs.
01:06:34.880
Contrary to the bullish expectations, the unemployment rate actually ticked up a tenth of a point to 6.1% in April.
01:06:42.900
The economy did add 266,000 jobs, far fewer than the 770 revised number added in March, and the 536 added in February.
01:06:56.060
This jobs report actually is a job report of the ages.
01:07:01.180
You know what this is, is that, you know, I was going to say it was, you know, a misfire, but this president wants us to look at this differently.
01:07:13.580
Here's the audio of Joe Biden talking about the jobs report.
01:07:17.820
This month's job numbers show we're on the right track.
01:07:24.700
Stu, would you say that this jobs report shows that we're on the right track?
01:07:30.420
Well, the track, as you mentioned, was what, increasing for...
01:07:35.260
It was January, February, March, all increased, and then we had a major drop-off in April.
01:07:47.000
We should also point out that all of the job gains were in the hospitality areas, which, again, you know, look, it's good to see.
01:07:58.780
We like to see that the restaurants are coming back a little bit, and hospitality is popping back.
01:08:05.780
That doesn't make things that we can sell to other people.
01:08:10.600
Look, the service industry is an important part of our economy, no doubt.
01:08:14.300
You know, the fact that that, you know, restaurants are opening up because restrictions are being lifted in certain areas, but then we have...
01:08:26.480
And then we have minus jobs in all of the other areas outside of hospitality, where we're actually losing jobs.
01:08:33.800
And then you add on to the fact that we're in an era where we're spending multiple trillions of dollars to prop this economy up.
01:08:47.240
So, first of all, we're on the right track, according to this president.
01:08:53.360
This month's job numbers show we're on the right track.
01:08:58.960
As I said, my laser focus is on growing the nation's economy and creating jobs.
01:09:14.400
Making sure working people in this country, hardworking people, are no longer left out in the cold.
01:09:20.520
They're going to get a share of the benefits of a rising economy.
01:09:36.740
We're still digging that way out of a very deep hole we were put in.
01:09:55.220
He had laser focus, I know, on COVID and vaccinations.
01:10:08.860
I don't know if he's a cyclop, so he only has one eye.
01:10:13.200
But if so, his laser focus should move towards the economy.
01:10:17.860
Because without the economy, we really don't have anything.
01:10:20.940
And, you know, there's some simple things he could do, like, hey, cut the extra $300 from
01:10:30.120
unemployment that people are using as an excuse to not go back to work.
01:10:38.800
We can call it an excuse all we want, but people are making a pragmatic cost-benefit analysis
01:10:43.560
on whether it's worth going somewhere for 40 hours a week to make less money.
01:10:48.820
I can't blame them for saying that's a bad return on investment.
01:10:57.920
And, you know, they know exactly what they're doing.
01:10:59.980
The Chamber of Commerce just came out and said, can you cut that?
01:11:04.060
Because after the jobs report, I think it's pretty clear that's not the way to go.
01:11:11.220
Two states now are going to abandon it already.
01:11:15.800
It's going to continue to pass, especially in red states around the country.
01:11:22.560
Red states are recovering faster and will continue to lead the way and then be blamed for everything.
01:11:28.440
The other thing is that he missed on his laser focus was the cyber attack of the gasoline pipeline.
01:11:38.280
Kind of a big deal, you know, seeing that it is, what was it, 50% of the East's gasoline and jet fuel?
01:11:48.940
It was just, you know, somewhere between 40% and 60%.
01:11:55.300
But they say if they don't have this solved by Tuesday, then it's going to really skyrocket prices.
01:12:07.300
And fortunately, it's the most populated half of the country.
01:12:11.580
You take up from the Louisiana-Texas border, and if you're looking at the map and you go right, yeah.
01:12:23.580
You might have some problems with some oil and gas prices, maybe, you know, because there's going to be a shortage.
01:12:30.860
It's not like the driving season starts in a couple of weeks, you know.
01:12:36.120
If it's 50% of the gas, just drive half as far.
01:12:39.340
They're easy solutions that we can, common sense solutions.
01:12:42.040
I don't know why people don't listen to you more often, Sue, because that is really, really, really true.
01:12:48.800
You walked me through this because you're the historian around here.
01:12:53.060
You get this whole museum right across the walkway here.
01:12:55.640
And my impression of the job of president of the United States was you needed to focus on multiple things at once.
01:13:06.260
You came in, you kind of laser focused on one thing and let everything else go to crap.
01:13:16.700
But now it's, you know, you need a nap at 3 o'clock.
01:13:20.620
Take a nap, you know, after dinner, which is at 2.
01:13:24.220
So to have some dinner, go to sleep, wake up maybe 10 or 11 o'clock in the morning.
01:13:29.820
Do you remember how many times they said that Donald Trump is going to bed early?
01:13:35.760
All he does is watch TV and then he goes to bed early.
01:13:39.540
This guy, I think at least Trump was watching the news.
01:13:43.780
I think Biden, maybe at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, is watching Matlock or Murder, She Wrote, and then going to bed.
01:13:52.160
I have a 16-year-old pug that his entire day is just sleeping, waking up, eating, going to the bathroom, going back to sleep.
01:14:02.960
He's only up for, I think, legit an hour a day.
01:14:07.100
If you combine all the times he's actually up with his eyes open, you're at about an hour a day.
01:14:18.340
Let's pretend your dog was president of the United States.
01:14:25.900
And I find out that Russia, that Russian hackers, for the second time in just a couple of months,
01:14:34.900
have now given us a cyber attack where they cut, quote, the jugular of our oil and gas supply to the East Coast.
01:14:46.580
And it happens Friday, and we knew about the, you know, the hack in on Thursday because they took so much data.
01:14:59.700
And now they're holding this pipeline hostage for ransom.
01:15:04.480
And I come over to your house and I say, is President Miles available?
01:15:09.000
I've got some really, they've just cut the jugular of the oil pipeline.
01:15:21.580
He's mostly blind and basically completely deaf.
01:15:27.200
So, if you try to wake him up, he's always completely stunned.
01:15:36.900
Like, if he's awake and he's facing away from you, he never hears you coming.
01:15:40.440
So, he always is, you know, scared and stunned and jolted every time.
01:15:46.640
So, a lot of times I don't, I try not to wake him up or try not to.
01:16:03.680
So, maybe wait a little while to tell him about this incredible international incident that's
01:16:10.860
So, you would give the, you would say, wait until he's awake the next day?
01:16:14.880
Like, wait until he's awake and you're in front of him.
01:16:17.240
Don't walk from behind him because then he'll be scared.
01:16:20.040
But if you kind of are already in front of him and walking toward him, he'll see kind of your
01:16:26.560
So, you would give, if your dog Miles was the president.
01:16:32.200
You would give the same advice that apparently was given to, you know, the colonial oil pipeline
01:16:40.100
people or the NSA or anybody who should have seen this one coming.
01:16:47.200
They didn't brief the president until Saturday.
01:16:56.620
Like, if the missiles are in the air, you just say, we'll let him know if one's coming
01:17:16.780
And every country that was afraid of us just recently, they're now, they're like, hey, I
01:17:31.840
Let's go ahead and just hack into all of their financial stuff and their military stuff
01:17:39.900
We can shut them down within a week and they're not going to do anything.
01:17:46.000
Maybe we have a problem with our stance in the world.
01:17:51.580
But seeing that Hunter Biden keeps losing his dog tags at his Chinese secretary's apartment.
01:18:03.140
He might have been getting something for President Miles.
01:18:09.520
She writes about her dog's experience with Rough Greens.
01:18:19.360
Anyway, has been able to stop taking allergy shots.
01:18:24.760
Her spots have disappeared since adding Rough Greens to her food.
01:18:32.260
We spent the last several years trying to find the best dry dog food due to her skin issues.
01:18:45.560
It is really miraculous, and it's alive, especially if you're feeding your dog dry food.
01:18:52.200
They need all of the live things, you know, the probiotics and all that stuff.
01:18:56.480
They need that, and you can't get it in a dry dog food.
01:19:02.720
It's like a little, for my dog at least, it's a tablespoon.
01:19:05.380
And you put it on their food, and they love it.
01:19:08.960
Now, your dog may not love it, and if your dog doesn't love it, the last thing you need is to buy a big pack of this stuff.
01:19:16.660
It's as little as, I don't know, it's probably got 10 tablespoons in it.
01:19:23.640
Put this on his food or her food and see if they like it.
01:19:28.800
If they like it, then go back and order a full bag of Rough Greens and watch.
01:19:32.640
Over a couple of months, you're going to see changes in your dog you can't believe.
01:19:46.180
If you happen to listen to podcasts, make sure you subscribe to the Glenn Beck Program podcast wherever you get them.
01:19:53.980
Also, let me recommend you subscribe to Stew Does America, the podcast.
01:19:58.420
We're going to be talking about Disney going woke tonight.
01:20:04.640
Disney, this service, this company that so many people have trusted to teach their kids and entertain their kids for all these years.
01:20:13.620
Listen to what they're teaching their employees behind the scenes.
01:20:17.720
They have a new program out, and it's about diversity and inclusion.
01:20:23.880
Disney recommending that all employees atone for all of this white supremacist systemic nature.
01:20:33.000
By challenging colorblind ideologies and rhetoric such as all lives matter and I don't see color.
01:20:39.700
However, you must listen with empathy to black colleagues and not question or debate black colleagues' lived experience.
01:20:51.980
What you always thought was racism is now the thing you're supposed to do.
01:20:56.660
What you always thought was the opposite of racism is now the thing that is the enemy.
01:21:00.460
Another module of this program called What Can I Do About Racism, Disney tells employees that they should reject equality, reject equality with a focus on equal treatment and access to opportunities and instead strive for equity with a focus on the equality of outcome.
01:21:21.300
The training also includes a series of lessons on implicit biases, microaggressions, becoming an anti-racist, all of this crazy nonsense that leads to discrimination against other groups just changing the target from what people used to do back in the day that we were all trying to turn around.
01:21:42.140
We're going to have Christopher Ruffo, the guy who uncovered this on the show later this week.
01:21:54.480
I think you've seen the changes in my svelteness since I've been starting to eat Bilt Bars.
01:22:02.620
Not as much of an improvement as I was hoping for.
01:22:05.960
Well, you can't eat 14 of them at each sitting.
01:22:10.340
I know you know where nowhere on the label doesn't say that I will say that's true.
01:22:14.540
I don't think it does say that it does not say it does not say it says, you know, it says that it's good for you.
01:22:32.640
But if you eat 10 of them, then you have 30 net carbs.
01:22:39.180
I'm in the middle of eating another real chocolate Bilt Bar.
01:22:53.800
Use the promo code Beck 15 and you'll save 15 percent of your first order.
01:22:59.460
What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
01:23:35.320
Hey, Stu, I don't know if you saw this, but the president and his cabinet has made some changes regarding guns.
01:23:46.240
Just some minor tweaks here and there that don't really have to be discussed.
01:23:53.800
They're just changing the definition of of guns.
01:23:57.780
And it's not even worth mentioning, quite frankly.
01:24:03.100
Oh, also, Glock wins and Biden loses in a major liability suit against the gun manufacturers.
01:24:13.720
We have that and your safety coming up in 60 seconds.
01:24:18.760
So Warren Buffett's company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns Clayton Homes.
01:24:29.080
That's the largest builder of manufactured housing in the U.S.
01:24:33.200
Buffett said that Berkshire is seeing very substantial inflation and they're raising prices of the homes.
01:24:39.980
Now, I don't know about you, but Warren Buffett seems to be accurate a lot of the time.
01:24:47.740
And he's saying that inflation is here and it's here now.
01:24:52.020
What's funny is he doesn't have to go to a grocery store to figure that out.
01:24:57.060
Now, maybe in Omaha, he's still doing the shopping for the wife and kids.
01:25:03.780
The worst part is that nobody's really questioning us.
01:25:07.200
We're all just accepting the idea that inflation is transitory.
01:25:12.420
No, it usually comes and then massive, dramatic things happen, including revolutions, burning down the economy.
01:25:28.960
Anyway, may I suggest now might be the time to hedge your portfolio just a little bit.
01:25:37.220
Gold is a time-tested investment that can hold its own in periods of inflation, even when it's just transitory hyperinflation.
01:25:45.660
If you want to protect yourself and your family, call Goldline today.
01:25:49.280
They're offering a special on their graded $5 Liberty coins.
01:25:54.240
They are authenticated for their weight and purity.
01:25:56.800
Many independent grading agencies handle all of that.
01:26:00.380
That way, you know that they're not counterfeit coins from overseas.
01:26:04.800
Also, you can call Goldline to find out about their special limited time offer on this product.
01:26:12.260
These are the ones that I have or had until that tragic fishing accident, Stu.
01:26:19.020
I lost all my guns and the gold that I was saving.
01:26:26.020
And I was somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic.
01:26:33.020
Maybe it's near where the same thing, because the same thing happened to me.
01:26:37.240
It could be a weather phenomenon in that particular area of the Atlantic.
01:26:44.780
I had all of my food storage, all of any Liberty coins that I got, and all my guns.
01:27:10.620
Well, I never thought the day would come when I would welcome Spencer Corson to the radio program.
01:27:25.760
Spencer is, if you've ever been to any of our shows, especially, you know, gosh, how long has it been?
01:27:38.540
Spencer was the chief of my detail for security in the golden era of death threats, and it was a special, special time.
01:27:55.180
So you started your own security group, Corson security group, and you're a threat management expert now.
01:28:07.460
You were, let me, let me just say this and see if you know, see if you can respond.
01:28:29.740
I thought you were going to say when we were all sitting around the table, and I would just be like, boom, winning every time a card got thrown down, and that became the mantra of the weekend, which I almost got fired for.
01:28:46.420
No, you were with us and the family and our kids.
01:28:51.000
Up at our ranch, we have, you know, we measure everybody, and the kids wanted me to put my height there and mom's height and everything on the doorframe.
01:29:00.460
Um, you are about a foot higher because the kids said, I remember Mr. Spencer being so big and so tall.
01:29:16.980
Anyway, you've, you've, uh, written a book called The Safety Trap, and I wanted to have you on because I think it's really important, uh, that people understand, I mean, Spencer, we have had, uh, in an incredible time, you know that we still have great security.
01:29:39.540
We've had all kinds of stuff, uh, happen to us.
01:29:43.000
And you know us, we are really prepared and really secure, but I think that goes to what you're talking about called The Safety Trap.
01:29:53.540
I mean, as, as seriously as you take your security, I, I, you know, I take my own security very seriously.
01:30:01.760
And I had an attempted home invasion in my house on Monday.
01:30:21.060
And I look over and I see that my motion lights are turned on outside.
01:30:25.040
My alert notifications on my security system are going into overdrive.
01:30:29.560
Ronan is just like begging me to let him through the door.
01:30:34.440
I see that there's a bad guy trying to get in through my back fence.
01:30:39.980
I grabbed the shotgun and go out the front and I was like five seconds too slow.
01:30:44.900
And, and the guy got a lot, but, uh, made a report.
01:30:48.560
They wound up catching the guy about a half a mile down the road.
01:30:51.260
Cause he was trying to bring into other houses on the street too.
01:30:54.160
So the next morning, of course, all the neighbors start talking and he had attempted to get
01:30:58.120
into the apartment complex, which is to the left of me, hit my house, hit the house next
01:31:06.220
And we all just, you know, I got immediately on the phone right after I cleared the, cleared
01:31:10.120
of the property was like five, 10 gray shorts, black shirt, tan cap, red backpack.
01:31:15.820
And he had obviously known what we, what security, like I always talk about how you want to just
01:31:21.880
like, you know, present yourself as having a strong protective posture, you know, to sort
01:31:26.720
of make that a deterrent factor, which is the first level of, of, of deterrence.
01:31:30.660
And some people take that as just putting the sign in their yard with nothing else.
01:31:36.580
And the problem with that is that 85% of home invasions is because the guy can just walk
01:31:42.900
And on the security cameras, you see the brazenness of the, he see, he knows that I have the lights
01:31:46.900
and so he puts the, like his arm up to cover his face, but has no problem just trying the
01:31:51.980
front door to see if he can just walk right in.
01:31:55.620
Just, you know, drug seeking behavior was looking for, to raid a medicine.
01:32:00.660
And that's, you know, that's the thing you have to be really careful because people who
01:32:04.220
come to, you know, during the day are typically coming for your stuff, but people who come
01:32:11.660
So you really need to be of the mindset that you're willing to participate in your own protection.
01:32:16.880
That's the one thing that I learned from you and others is that robbers don't want to
01:32:22.560
meet you just as much as you don't want to meet them.
01:32:25.100
They come when the house is empty and they don't do it at night.
01:32:28.000
Like you see in the movies, generally speaking, they do it.
01:32:30.660
During the day, somebody comes to your house at night, they got a problem.
01:32:35.700
You know, they're either a drug person that's desperate or they do want to harm you or they're,
01:32:40.940
they're doing something more than stealing your stuff.
01:32:45.160
Of course, there's always exceptions to every rule, but yeah, more often than not.
01:32:48.000
And especially when they don't come through the front door, which I think this guy was
01:32:51.300
trying to do is by coming in through the back is if you hear, if your neighbors hear one
01:32:56.320
loud crash, they're probably going to go, oh, well, that was strange.
01:32:59.320
But if they hear a second loud crash, then they may investigate.
01:33:02.760
But if your front door is open or if it's a weak door that they can just get in with
01:33:06.980
one quick kick or, you know, just one break of a window, you know, you cannot expect your
01:33:12.200
neighbors to be willing to protect you any more than you are overly willing to protect
01:33:17.260
Yes, we all have a neighborly responsibility to look out for one another, but we no longer
01:33:23.540
live in a world where we can simply hope that nothing will happen and then solely rely on
01:33:28.760
the first responders to save us once something does.
01:33:32.420
That is something that came actually out of the Carter administration.
01:33:35.720
He's the one that started calling police and fire first responders.
01:33:39.760
Up until Carter, we all believed we were the first responders.
01:33:49.780
So talk to me about the paradox of the safety trap.
01:33:53.740
So the safety trap is a turn of phrase that I came up with a few years ago to explain to
01:34:01.500
my clients the false sense of security that tends to hide behind our own outlook when our
01:34:12.880
So if we take a school shooting, for example, tragic event happens, there's this rush that
01:34:20.680
we have to do something, the politicians, you know, say we're going to, we're going to
01:34:24.740
ban guns and, you know, public safety officials say we need to do something about mental health,
01:34:33.480
The fear has abated, but the risk is still there.
01:34:36.200
We have done absolutely nothing to, you know, maybe we'll do some things that will help to
01:34:40.800
mitigate that risk once it has been realized, but we don't do anything.
01:34:45.940
We don't put any kind of like preventative countermeasures in place to prevent that bad
01:34:52.360
And that is the very essence of the safety trap.
01:34:55.380
We are sometimes the most at danger when we feel the most safe, because when we have just
01:35:03.180
a little bit of fear or when we're a little bit hesitant or we're a little bit aware, we
01:35:10.300
But then, you know, things, things go on, nothing else happens.
01:35:15.160
And we have this, this, this swinging of the pendulum between hyperplacency and, and hyper
01:35:21.120
complacency and vigilance and everyday safety is really about finding that happy middle,
01:35:27.120
a healthy sense of skepticism, a moderate dose of vigilance, very simple strategy.
01:35:31.620
You know, I have a story that probably very few can relate to, but I tell it for a reason
01:35:39.220
because you don't appreciate the skills that you actually have.
01:35:44.380
These warning signals, these things in you that you, you will see without, without recognizing
01:35:53.260
that you're not consciously looking or listening for things.
01:35:56.340
You just notice things and that gives you that sense of, I should be a little hesitant.
01:36:03.140
When you were the head of my detail, I had gotten so used to, and I think we may have
01:36:09.200
I got so used to always 24 seven having protection with me.
01:36:15.080
And usually it was more than one guy in the bad times.
01:36:19.940
And, uh, and so I just knew that I was safe no matter where I was and, or at least I felt
01:36:30.560
And I remember distinctly, maybe 10 years ago, the first time I went out again, just
01:36:36.600
by myself, just to go to the store, Spencer, I was so freaked out because I didn't have that
01:36:45.580
I mean, it came back, but it was so foreign to me.
01:36:51.720
It's, it's this weird balance of still sensing the danger, but not living in fear.
01:37:05.360
And I, and I use a couple, I cite a couple examples in the book.
01:37:07.940
One, the way I structured the book was I identified these like 16 quote unquote safety traps that
01:37:14.900
all of my clients throughout the years kept falling into, whether that be complacency,
01:37:20.460
whether that be avoidance, whether that be false equivalents.
01:37:23.380
And what it really always comes down to is everything in our normal everyday life.
01:37:29.820
Like most of us are never going to experience a terror attack or be in an active shooter situation
01:37:34.540
or, or experience a home invasion or, or any other like horrific incident.
01:37:39.260
But that doesn't mean that the risks aren't real.
01:37:43.620
The, you know, one of the things my global experience has, has always shown me is that
01:37:51.640
There are always warning signs that come before the bad thing happens and staying safe is about
01:38:00.760
When we drive our cars, we are looking for the person who's flying up behind us.
01:38:06.640
We're looking for the person who's erratically changing lanes.
01:38:09.620
We're looking for the person that may be, you know, in, in leadership, they always talk about
01:38:16.160
Safety is about anticipating the idiocy of others.
01:38:19.000
Is this person going to like, and if we could just like apply those same, um, safety defense
01:38:28.260
strategies that we employ when we're driving to our everyday life, we would have that ability
01:38:34.540
to notice, Hey, you know, this person, even when I was on your security detail and we had
01:38:40.380
all of the advanced teams and the overwatch and the counter surveillance and everything,
01:38:44.280
you would still very often come up to me and be like, something just doesn't feel right
01:38:49.920
And all of that, and we would absolutely take that into our, into our route planning or our
01:38:56.320
threat matrix or whatever, because you not negotiating against your own survival instincts
01:39:06.060
Um, Spencer, I thank you for all of the years of service that you gave my family, uh, and
01:39:12.060
kept us safe in some really terribly frightening situations at times.
01:39:18.900
I want to come back cause I want to ask you some questions cause the world has changed and,
01:39:23.460
um, you talk about in the book, you talk about don't necessarily go where everybody tells
01:39:30.920
And that is advice that my uncle who used to do, uh, civil defense research back in the
01:39:41.240
That's the first thing he said to me when I moved to New York city, if anything happens,
01:39:47.620
And I want you to kind of explain cause the world has changed so much.
01:39:52.040
How do we, how do we prepare for things that could happen in the future?
01:40:08.240
I, when they make the best version of a product on the market, I mean, it would be hard to get
01:40:14.260
up every morning and go, yep, I'm just like the other guys who are making that, uh, lawnmower
01:40:18.660
that doesn't last and doesn't cut like mine, uh, deck sizes as small as 34 inches, which
01:40:25.600
can fit through most residential gates all the way up to 104 inches.
01:40:30.180
They have the perfect size for whatever you need.
01:40:35.820
The 104 inch, uh, deck will cut a football field in 10 minutes.
01:40:46.220
I mean, it is, it's going to shave off the time for you to cut your lawn in unbelievable
01:40:53.900
The latest and greatest from hustler turf is their new 2021 Raptor series built for homeowners
01:41:03.460
Find the hustler dealership around you and take a hassle free test drive.
01:41:14.680
They have thousands nationwide hustler turf.com hustler turf.com.
01:41:22.200
So the, the, the two things Spencer, I want to talk to you about is why is it in the book
01:41:39.940
you, you answer the question, why is it so many emergency response plans do more harm
01:41:49.020
Those are both things that we're told we have to pay attention to.
01:41:52.500
And you're saying, nah, bad ideas, horrible ideas.
01:41:57.000
So on the evacuation protocols, why you don't want to go where everyone else is going.
01:42:05.060
Let's say that one of the reasons, okay, let's just accept the premise that everyone who calls
01:42:11.520
in a bomb threat is, there's no bomb because to get the components for that bomb, to build
01:42:17.220
it, to construct it, to then breach security, to get it in place, to do, why are you going
01:42:22.660
But what you do have readily available is where is that evacuation zone?
01:42:29.860
And that's typically outside of the security zone.
01:42:32.860
So I can put it and I can go on, I can put in hashtag fire drill or hashtag a bomb threat.
01:42:39.420
And I can see on social media where everyone's gathering points are.
01:42:42.700
I can very easily put an explosive device there.
01:42:54.560
There's a movie called The Kingdom where they put a small diversionary explosive device
01:43:01.100
inside a building to get everyone to the evacuation point.
01:43:04.480
And then that's where the real, the real bomb goes off because schools, buildings, office
01:43:08.980
places are all these like interconnected compartmentalized pockets of protection.
01:43:13.520
And then you give all of those up to, you know, to all move to one centralized, collective,
01:43:21.420
well, we're all going to go to the parking lot.
01:43:25.180
If there's ever a fire drill or an evacuation drone, or even if it's just a rehearsal, go
01:43:31.100
anywhere else than where they're telling you to go.
01:43:36.200
If, if the, if the crisis is so severe that they had to stop what they were doing and
01:43:40.280
get everyone out, they have bigger problems than getting you back in.
01:43:45.380
Go just participate in your own protection, be disagreeable and go away.
01:43:49.540
And this gets us to the run, hide, fight thing.
01:43:54.080
Cause I've, I've got about 30 seconds here and I don't want to cut you off on this.
01:43:57.160
Cause I think this is important with, you know, the number of shooters that we have had,
01:44:02.820
the murderers that come in and, uh, we had another shooting, I think on the, on an air
01:44:08.120
force, or a, uh, I think it was at Fort Bragg this weekend.
01:44:12.320
Um, and run, hide, fight is what everybody preaches.
01:44:23.420
It is the safety trap, a new book available out, uh, this week, the safety trap more in
01:44:40.960
Looks like from Russia, uh, this last Friday, you're not going to hear this talked about
01:44:49.900
Uh, and he attacked our, our, what's called the jugular of our Eastern, uh, uh, fuel source.
01:44:58.380
All of Eastern America now is lost about 50% of their fuel because of a cyber attack.
01:45:06.980
They're becoming more frequent and they are state sponsored.
01:45:10.480
Um, you don't want to come under a cyber attack.
01:45:15.520
You don't want, you want to make sure you're as protected as you possibly can be.
01:45:20.180
And knowing that somebody is going to get through at some point or another.
01:45:24.540
That's why when LifeLock has the restoration specialist, the whole team dedicated to, in
01:45:31.720
case something happens, they're going to help clean it up.
01:45:34.500
That's what's happening right now with Colonial Pipeline.
01:45:38.600
Uh, I hope they have somebody as good as LifeLock to help clean it up.
01:45:50.140
It's the safety trap of security experts secrets for staying safe in a dangerous world.
01:45:57.200
Spencer Corson is a threat management expert, founder of Corson Security Group.
01:46:09.400
And, uh, probably the least impressive part of his resume.
01:46:13.460
He was the head of my security detail for about 10 years.
01:46:23.160
You can get it on Amazon or wherever you, uh, purchase books.
01:46:30.160
Um, uh, not only because, uh, he's a friend, um, and I'd like to see him sell a lot of books.
01:46:37.140
More importantly, he is the guy who protected my family and, um, many times in very frightening
01:46:47.680
And, uh, so I not only wish him well, but I know he has a lot to teach because I learned
01:46:55.040
And, uh, as you're going through the book, I hope you won't sue me if you can pick out
01:47:00.000
those times that those stories, um, are definitely not about you.
01:47:10.500
Uh, so you use us as examples kind of disguised.
01:47:14.780
I think that if someone knows, I think that you will be able to determine where I'm talking
01:47:24.700
Oh, now I want to do a good way or is like, I had this client.
01:47:27.820
I think you'll be able to do to, uh, as you're going through the book, figure out the times.
01:47:34.980
No, obviously I just, we, uh, full confidentiality that in legal review and your lawyers and my
01:47:39.200
lawyers of course had their back and forth, but of course, but I think, yeah.
01:47:43.040
Um, we were just before the break, we were talking about the idea of run, hide, fight.
01:47:56.580
So the, the, the original premise of run, hide, fight was, uh, what they taught pilots
01:48:10.700
He's going to run as far away from the enemy as he can.
01:48:13.060
If he gets too tired or, or, you know, is injured, he's going to hide until he can get
01:48:17.400
And then if he's going to start running again, and if the enemy should cut, catch up to him,
01:48:23.020
His life depends on it because it absolutely will.
01:48:25.960
So then you have a Sandy hook, you have Columbine, you have all of these tragedies and this cottage
01:48:32.060
industry starts coming up of run, hide, fight, which is great on an individual level,
01:48:37.260
but is a horrible, uh, protocol for a collective because what it has now been, uh, reduced to
01:48:47.140
And anyone who has ever played tee ball or has played baseball, which is harder to hit
01:48:52.380
the ball that is coming across the plate at 90 miles an hour, or the ball that is sitting
01:48:59.020
I would say both equally for me, both equally, but athleticism being a constant, but in standard
01:49:09.200
safety, if the threat is inside your house, you want to get outside the house.
01:49:12.700
If the, if the threat is outside your house, you want to barricade yourself inside the house.
01:49:16.960
What has happened is that there's, there's this wide divide between survivability and accountability.
01:49:22.880
If someone was to break in here right now, I would try to, I would try to take that guy down
01:49:28.880
while all, all of you got as far away from here as possible, because the hardest thing to hit
01:49:33.500
is someone that is taking his time is increasing time and distance, putting as many steps
01:49:39.220
between you and the bad guy as possible and getting, and getting farther and farther away
01:49:45.340
Schools have, have just basically want schools and, and police aligned authors of these security
01:49:53.040
programs want everyone to be compartmentalized, want everyone to be contained because now they're
01:49:59.880
A lot of people have this misconception that the police are there for your personal safety.
01:50:03.480
They're not, they're there for the public safety.
01:50:05.860
And in the interest of the collective safety, keeping that threat contained is better for them
01:50:13.360
because now we don't have to worry about where else he's going.
01:50:17.120
So I always urge clients, families, teachers, parents, students, if you ever are in a situation
01:50:26.380
where there is a known threat inside the building, get outside that building as quickly as you possibly
01:50:34.440
But this is different than, because you were the one who designed my first safe room when we
01:50:42.960
And the idea was get all of the children in there and you and stay in there.
01:50:48.940
So it's different if you're talking about, you know, you have a, some sort of a safe room
01:50:56.240
where nobody can get in at least for residential security, where that was one small part of an
01:51:03.340
overarching, very comprehensive security program.
01:51:08.420
We had multiple levels of concentric rings of security from the outerness of the property
01:51:15.240
to the, to the immediate access to the, to the compound, to the driveway, to the house,
01:51:20.140
to inside the front door, and then more so inside.
01:51:23.480
So if it got to the point where multiple things were breached and all of us were dead, the safest
01:51:28.440
place for your family to be was in that safe room until the police could get there.
01:51:31.860
We were buying you the time for a police response, right?
01:51:35.360
That is completely different from a school or a movie theater or a mall or a shopping
01:51:41.700
center, which may have all of those, uh, false senses of security because you see the, the
01:51:48.440
cameras and you see the guard and you see all the domes up in the, in the ceiling, but
01:51:52.500
all of those things are there to protect the products.
01:51:57.640
So if you are in a situation where your life is on the line, you are your own authority.
01:52:05.660
And I will tell you right now, if it's a matter of life and death is not a game of hide and
01:52:15.020
You would not hide from a fire in a building and hope the fire doesn't find you.
01:52:20.000
But an active shooter is just as unpredictable and just as violent as a fire.
01:52:25.420
So would you hide from a fire or would you run?
01:52:32.940
Do you, so that is first, because it is, uh, it's hide.
01:52:41.880
Your, your point, your, your distinction here is you're not running to a place to hide, which
01:52:53.200
I would love to see schools put, I would much rather schools invest in threat management
01:53:00.040
programs and start helping those who are hurting, who, and especially now with like all, so
01:53:13.360
But all of the money that typically would go to security programs has now been shifted
01:53:24.440
And one of the reasons we're seeing such a rise in active shooter engagements and domestic
01:53:30.420
violence and child abuse is because one of the, of the after effects of a year long spent
01:53:36.980
in pan, in this pandemic is isolation has been solitude.
01:53:41.120
And that has had a catastrophic impact on those with mental illness.
01:53:46.460
And I'm not talking about, you know, people like me who are in therapy.
01:53:49.380
I'm talking about those who are, have serious mental illness.
01:53:55.480
Oh, I've been in therapy for a better part of six months now.
01:54:08.260
Are you, are you, I don't want to use the word predicting, but are you warning that we
01:54:17.000
What I am saying is that if you are expecting your school to be able to save your child,
01:54:31.380
And I am telling you right now, would, when you go to a, a, a movie theater or you go
01:54:37.500
to a ball game and that you see the guy in the security windbreak and you ask him where
01:54:41.340
your, where your seat is and he says, it's over there.
01:54:45.320
But would you trust that same person in a mass casualty event?
01:54:51.160
Uh, and I thought it was really fascinating because, you know, at first you guys could,
01:54:57.780
uh, uh, couldn't carry guns in New York, New York city, you, they no guns and they do it
01:55:05.980
They're doing it for the pension of the police officers.
01:55:09.080
And if you hire a police officer, then you have a gun, uh, and you'd never wanted to
01:55:15.420
And you, you said, because that's the opposite kind of training.
01:55:22.040
If you have, if you are, it kind of relates to this is what you're saying.
01:55:27.980
First off, uh, if you are a, if you are, so when I was in the army, I was an assaulter.
01:55:35.260
It was my job to initiate a violence of action on a known target for God and country.
01:55:42.760
As a protector, my job is to cover and evacuate my principal off the X.
01:55:47.760
So if I have time to draw, aim and fire, I have time to, to cover and evacuate you.
01:55:54.940
When you saw Ronald Reagan coming out of, uh, the Hinckley Hilton and John Hinckley shot
01:56:05.600
Because their job was to protect the president, to put themselves between a bullet and a target
01:56:17.980
Now it's a firearm would be different for say, like a home invasion where it's a known
01:56:21.280
target and you have assets in place where you can see how they're coming in.
01:56:24.060
Like, like I did on Monday, but you know, the, the number one argument against, uh, using
01:56:31.780
a handgun for self-defense is to watch the everyday citizen try to take a selfie of a
01:56:44.940
Cause they're like, Oh my gosh, Mr. Beck, Mr. Beck.
01:56:51.560
Now the average person can take a photo of their breakfast with, with, you know, photographic
01:56:57.240
expertise that'd be worthy of framing in the MoMA.
01:56:59.580
But you know, have Taylor Swift walk into the room and like, Oh, no, imagine that's a handgun
01:57:05.580
and tell me that person can, can, you know, do the same thing.
01:57:25.560
I mean, they will help with that, et cetera, et cetera.
01:57:27.340
But their primary job in those situations is to get the bad guy.
01:57:33.740
Where a defender is someone who says, get out, get away from the bad guy.
01:57:40.200
And what's the, like, watch any, any like crime TV show.
01:57:44.080
What's the first thing you hear the detectives talking about is like how much they're yelling
01:57:53.060
Then the, then the detectives will come in and, and, you know, interpret what's what and
01:57:57.500
what's relevant and what, who can go and who needs to stay and who needs to be interviewed.
01:58:01.180
They're the ones that solve the case, but to expect, and don't get me wrong.
01:58:08.300
I am very pro police, but I would not expect, you know, my local firemen to change my oil.
01:58:18.000
You would not, so, and therefore you can't expect.
01:58:27.200
I will tell you that we talk about you often still after these years.
01:58:35.040
You were a great impact on their life and a real impact on mine.
01:58:44.420
Spencer Corson, he's the author of the book, The Safety Trap.
01:58:56.940
Linda lives in Texas and she was living with a ton of pain for a really long time.
01:59:03.160
The biggest thing was her knee, which was just was swelled up so much of the time.
01:59:07.960
And it constantly hurt when, when she would try to walk.
01:59:10.860
She also had frequent pain in her legs and her back, especially bad at night.
01:59:16.360
It would keep her awake all hours in the morning.
01:59:24.040
Then she heard about a product called Relief Factor on the radio.
01:59:34.220
None of them really had done that much for her.
01:59:37.020
Within just a few weeks, to her utter astonishment, she says all of her pain was gone completely.
01:59:50.980
It's not a drug, but it was developed by doctors.
01:59:52.960
Seventy percent of the people who try it go on to order more.
01:59:55.980
You can order the three-week quick start for only $19.95.
02:00:23.840
They were talking to a guy named Joe Hall, who had just been injured by Antifa.
02:00:32.640
Partially collapsed left lung, two lower vertebraes fractured.
02:00:40.200
That's on top of five broken ribs, a broken collarbone, and head trauma.
02:00:44.860
I stood my ground, and I would do it all over again.
02:00:48.120
Hall, a local handyman, says he was trying to defend himself after getting stopped in his pickup by a crowd in the street and other vehicles along North Alberta near Michigan Avenue.
02:00:58.060
All of a sudden, these agitators come out, screaming, pounding on my truck.
02:01:04.280
He said he tried to go around the group, but stopped and got out of his car after he thought he hit something.
02:01:09.980
By this time, I've got five people surrounding my vehicle, AR-15s, AK-47s.
02:01:15.920
Hall said people in the crowd were calling him derogatory names and pointing guns at him.
02:01:20.900
While his door was open, Hall told me someone took his keys and his less lethal firearm, so he grabbed his pistol.
02:01:27.380
I pulled my .38 out of my right pocket and pointed it at the ground and told them if a weapon points at me again, I will shoot to eliminate the threat.
02:01:40.660
Shortly after that, Hall said someone tackled him to the ground and took his gun.
02:01:45.000
Videos posted to social media showing the event unfolding with posters praising the crowd's disarming of the man.
02:01:52.140
A neighbor telling me she saw part of the scuffle from her window.
02:01:55.260
It looked like he was face down and then the people were kneeling on top of him.
02:02:01.220
Hall wonders why Portland police didn't intervene.
02:02:04.580
More 911 calls were made from other intersections Thursday, including Interstate Avenue and Killingsworth,
02:02:10.520
where a driver reported a crowd smashed out their back window and slashed their tires.
02:02:20.360
You know, I'm shutting my business down, and I'm probably not going to be coming back.
02:02:29.080
The biggest threat to our democracy, our republic, since the Civil War.
02:02:35.420
Oh, tomorrow, I tell you what's happening to those prisoners from January 6th.
02:03:09.900
At Rough Greens, we know that dogs need live nutrition, just like we do.
02:03:14.520
For dog food to last, it needs to be shelf-stable,
