00:00:11.560 our family all of our families if you have a dog if you have a cat i mean that's a totally different

00:00:16.220 thing but if you have a dog it's a member of the family pickiest eater in the world uno was

00:00:22.060 and had to stand there and practically hand feed him now he goes crazy for it all i do is put

00:00:29.360 this supplement on top of the food that we were already feeding him it's full of vitamins and

00:01:58.120 message to regional new south wales there are parts of regional new south wales that are currently open

00:02:02.680 the 70 roadmap does apply to the whole state so there will be individuals in regional rural new

00:02:08.340 south wales who choose not to be vaccinated who will lose their freedoms on the 11th of october so

00:02:13.240 my message to everybody in regional and rural new south wales is to continue to get vaccinated

00:02:18.060 there's new freedoms coming for those who are of vaccinated new freedoms but if you're not

00:02:25.340 vaccinated you lose your freedom saith the lord wow it's not like we're getting militant about things

00:02:35.060 here at all oh speaking of that we should probably also listen to the new yorker because they've got a

00:02:42.080 new idea should we for the sake of the planet start acting violently i mean let's be honest it is about the

00:02:55.360 planet and there are some people who just won't listen and we're the scary ones america time to wake up

00:03:04.800 listen to the new yorker in 60 seconds

00:03:07.960 let me tell you about car shield you're at point a why in the world are you in such a rush to get to

00:04:24.000 all right so you're gonna lose your freedom if you are in australia if you don't get vaccinated you're

00:04:33.840 gonna lose your freedom that's great for australia here's the here's the problem in america we have

00:04:40.500 this little thing called the declaration of independence and governments are instituted

00:04:46.280 among men to protect those freedoms and when a government becomes hostile to those freedoms

00:04:54.360 it is the people's right and it is their duty to throw off the chains of that and create a new

00:05:04.560 government that is not hostile to those freedoms so in other words you can't break away because you

00:05:11.320 want to have slavery but i think it's pretty clear you can break away if you want to just

00:05:18.080 live by the constitution and the declaration of independence because the old government started

00:05:25.460 forgetting about the whole freedom thing well i hate to even say that because people are saying he's

00:05:32.260 he's advocating violence he's saying we should go into a civil war which i'm not saying at all

00:05:38.320 oh my gosh these people on the right they're so dangerous i know let's do something let's do

00:05:47.920 something safe shall we let's just read the new yorker and listen to their podcast because they talk

00:05:57.020 about books and things like that uh and they had andreas malm on who is really great i just want you

00:06:04.200 to listen here's cut one andreas malm is a professor at lund university in sweden he studies the

00:06:11.020 relationship between climate change and capitalism yeah and he advocates for far more drastic action

00:06:17.120 than we've seen so far huh his recent book how to blow up a pipeline is a bit more nuanced than the

00:06:23.380 title suggests but at its core yeah he really does want environmental activists to rethink their

00:06:29.540 commitment to non-violence and embrace tactics of sabotage stop just a second let me let me get

00:06:35.680 this straight so stew i believe we have to discuss this like this i believe when he says it's more

00:06:42.100 nuanced than the title uh uh really kind of leads you to believe how to blow up a pipeline it doesn't

00:06:50.820 sound like it really does it that it is more nuanced because he then just went and said uh but it's more

00:06:59.060 nuanced than you know the title would uh seem but but he really does want people to think about

00:07:05.760 you know dumping the non-violence thing well glenn um the nuance that's associated with the title

00:07:13.400 how to blow up a pipeline just of course indicates that there are far more things that you can blow up

00:07:21.320 oh not just a pipeline you can blow up a pipeline thank you a tanker ship chip i can see things more

00:07:27.240 clearly now that you speak like this you could blow up a bunch of school children who exhale co2 all 1.00

00:07:33.940 these things are options well there are a future of environmentalism thank you very much back to the

00:07:39.080 podcast i spoke with andreas mom last week andreas you've been a climate activist now for a long time

00:07:46.680 and in 2007 you were part of a swedish group that started deflating the tires on suvs tell me about

00:07:55.000 that what was the impulse and how did it work yeah so what we did was we went through rich neighborhoods

00:08:03.320 and picked out suvs this was in the early career of suvs when they were still remarkable on streets

00:08:11.440 before they were 12 completely ubiquitous and uh it's very easy to deflate the tires of a car you

00:08:19.180 just unscrew the valve and you insert a little a little gravel or a piece of stone or something like

00:08:23.400 that and you know you screw the the valve back on and then the air will be out of the tire in a

00:08:28.940 couple of hours so this was not probably destruction it didn't damage anything it it created an

00:08:35.120 inconvenience for the owners of suvs okay all right all right so this began his journey towards

00:08:43.200 civil disobedience cut to what was the moment that you realized that your next book would have to be

00:08:48.400 about targeted sabotage and why that moment was very much the summer of 2018 which was unprecedented

00:08:58.660 in northern europe for the wildfires and the drought and the heat wave and during that summer i felt

00:09:06.020 panic and desperation uh as a lot of people did this was the summer that led greta thunberg to start her 0.99

00:09:13.280 later very famous school strike movement and that sort of changed the picture because in 2019

00:09:19.140 all the way up to the outbreak of the pandemic the climate movement of the global north reached its

00:09:24.000 zenith of mobilization really its its peak of popular force out of the streets so the book became

00:09:31.740 a became a product of the moment of 2019 but it's also a call for escalation a call for the movement to

00:09:39.300 diversify its tactics and move away from an exclusive focus on polite gentle and perfectly peaceful

00:09:51.840 civil disobedience right okay so here's the left now on in the new yorker uh and on the podcast talking

00:09:59.920 about how we you know it's not so bad to put rocks uh into people's airbag uh air valves with uh graval

00:10:09.460 otherwise known as gravel uh and uh let the air out it's a it's an inconvenience sure but it doesn't do

00:10:15.880 any harm but then now we really see that we really have to go away from non-violence because it's

00:10:23.060 really not working so here he is on blowing up a pipeline what actions are you recommending for the

00:10:30.440 movement well i am recommending that the movement continues with mass action and civil disobedience

00:10:38.500 but also opens up for property destruction so i'm not saying we should stop strikes or or

00:10:44.400 square occupations or demonstrations of the usual kind i'm all in favor of that but i do think we

00:10:50.740 need to step up because so little has changed and so many investments are still being poured into new

00:10:57.760 fossil fuel projects so i am in favor of of destroying machines property not harming people that's very

00:11:05.320 very important distinction very and i think property can be destroyed in all manner of ways

00:11:12.540 or it can be neutralized for in a very gentle fashion as when we deflated the suvs or in a more

00:11:18.320 spectacular fashion as in potentially blowing up a pipeline that's under construction that's something

00:11:23.240 that people have done yeah so you are recommending blowing up a pipeline you use the phrase intelligence

00:11:29.040 sabotage what is yeah what does intelligence sabotage look like in this context well let me give you a

00:11:34.660 very concrete example right now total the largest single private company headquartered in france is

00:11:40.580 constructing what will be the world's longest heated oil pipeline in uganda and tanzania and displacing in 0.95

00:11:49.280 that process about a hundred and thousand farmers all for the sake of carrying even more oil to the world

00:11:56.180 market to pour fuel on the global fire if people in that region were to attack the construction

00:12:04.480 equipment blow up the pipeline yeah before it's completed i would be all in favor of that i don't

00:12:09.840 see how that property damage could be uh considered morally illegitimate given what we know of the

00:12:17.760 consequences of such a project so the ends justify the means uh is what he's saying here uh remember you

00:12:25.520 are the dangerous one we're just a bunch of journalists uh the new yorker that are just exploring different

00:12:32.160 ideas uh today's idea blowing things up and destroying property very very very different than killing people

00:12:41.360 of course uh you know uh nobody was killed in uh the capital uh well some one person was killed but that

00:12:50.480 that was by a police officer but police officers in this case are all good and should never be questioned

00:12:56.000 but the property was uh destroyed there in the capital and that is completely different than blowing up a pipeline

00:13:05.520 and glenn i will note for the listeners that machines don't run on their own the people who

00:13:15.120 show up to work at these facilities are part of the machinery they are basically

00:13:23.840 parts of the machine and if they are parts of the machine they also could be destroyed mechanics

00:13:29.360 uh and that that sounds like a machine to me quite honestly yeah working on machines if they are not

00:13:35.920 there then these environmental uh cataclysms will not occur so obviously killing people who work

00:13:43.360 for these companies at the mission at the at the site and and honestly uh those people wouldn't show

00:13:48.640 up if they were not paid so the executives of the kind of company yes are also fair targets and to

00:13:55.920 maybe the clear maybe the banks well they fund they fund anyone who works at a bank i think would fall

00:14:01.040 street wall street would be a good target any shareholder of a company like this absolutely what

00:14:06.880 about the companies that provide electricity and water to the banks to these facilities uh they are 0.74

00:14:14.640 basically guilty yeah they're they're feeding they're giving aid and comfort to an enemy what if we killed all

00:14:20.560 people other than us well i think because we don't we just we just i've written out a plan i've had

00:14:29.440 yeah oh yeah we've had a plan for how to eliminate people for a long time oh wow i'm glad you brought

00:14:34.000 this up because oh thank you i've been carrying this around for so long and you know we all know

00:14:39.520 wink wink nod nod we're not gonna kill people oh my oh that's rich but i know it's not rich rich bad

00:14:48.560 oh i'm sorry rich is very very bad unless we're the ones that are rich then it's really really

00:14:55.200 very good you know what i mean here's cut four and yet climate activist groups like 350.org and

00:15:03.360 extinction rebellion have made clear that non-violence is central to their approach do you think that's

00:15:09.200 been a mistake or a tactical error yeah so i i have nothing against the tactics employed by these

00:15:15.280 groups i have very often participated in them myself what i have a problem with is when extinction

00:15:20.480 rebellion and people from 350 and elsewhere say that these are the only things that our movement can

00:15:27.280 ever allow itself to engage in as in what we're doing is as far as we will ever go we'll never escalate

00:15:35.360 beyond this and i think the the that idea this uh dogmatic commitment to non-violence is based on a

00:15:43.840 faulty uh history writing or understanding of social struggles over history because it's based on the

00:15:50.640 idea that the only thing that has ever worked for social movements is to stay completely peaceful

00:15:56.000 and that just isn't the case most social movements that have struggled against overwhelming odds against

00:16:02.480 enemies that have been very powerful have diversified and used diversification a number of different

00:16:07.920 tactics ranging into property destruction and confrontation with the police you saw this during

00:16:12.880 the the the uprising after the murder of george floyd where there was tremendous property destruction

00:16:18.960 and a conquering and burning down police stations in minneapolis and things like that that was an

00:16:23.360 integral part of an uprising that brought millions of people into the streets of the u.s than any

00:16:29.120 other in american history wow that is amazing it's a weird that the left seems to know that but wait i

00:16:36.240 i was told earlier well it was largely non-violent largely non-violent almost i don't think there was

00:16:42.960 any i didn't see violence what i saw was people that were committed to a cause by the way um the fcc

00:16:51.040 needs to investigate its own history of racism and examine how its policy choices and actions have harmed

00:16:57.840 black people and other communities of color now this is coming from uh this is coming from a left-wing

00:17:05.040 group that is funded by the center for american progress and george soros's open society foundations

00:17:11.200 uh they're they're wonderful they're called the free press you might remember them um but they said

00:17:16.880 what do we have to do uh do we have to how many how many are we going to have to just shoot republicans to

00:17:24.160 reclaim our democracy now you might think that that's violent um but it's not being covered in 0.98

00:17:30.560 the press at all even though that's a letter they wrote to the fcc are we going to have to shoot

00:17:35.440 republicans to reclaim our democracy um that is really not so important okay because they have a reason

00:17:45.680 to do that things are really really tough and uh you know they're not just they're not just saying

00:17:52.640 let's shoot republicans they're saying we have to reshape the media and that is so important uh and if

00:18:01.600 we can't get people to move then maybe we should shoot republicans and uh it's very nuanced it's very 0.98

00:18:10.480 nuanced we have been telling people that they're not allowed to have firearms so how will we be 0.99

00:18:17.360 shooting all the republicans 0.76

00:18:23.040 we'll uh we can have them right we can have them oh yes we can have them and they can have that's 0.99

00:18:29.120 right that's right that's right we're part of the elite i forgot yes okay let me tell you about relief

00:18:33.440 factor vanessa she had an experience with relief factor she wrote in uh about it talking about the pain

00:18:40.000 that was diminishing her way of life she said she was unable to bend over unable to safely navigate 0.75

00:18:46.240 stairs she was basically in extreme pain throughout most of her body and what was worse her chiropractor

00:18:51.840 told her that there really wasn't anything that he could do for her anymore thankfully she heard me 0.66

00:18:56.400 talking about relief factor and everything changed after only a few weeks of taking relief factor

00:19:01.520 vanessa now can bend over just fine she can walk up and down stairs with no problem she can even 1.00

00:19:06.640 pick up her grandchildren she wasn't able to do that for a long long time vanessa got her life 0.99

00:19:12.160 back by taking relief factor i did too so could you just give it a try relief factor developed by doctors

00:19:20.480 about 70 of the people who try relief factor go on to buy more because it works for them try the three

00:19:53.920 wow and we are the dangerous ones we are the dangerous ones

00:20:02.960 by the way uh good news my friends uh biden got his booster shot yesterday we were all worried

00:20:11.200 about it wondering when is he going to get it cut nine here he is getting his booster shot

00:20:16.960 we have plenty plenty of opportunity to make sure we get everyone in the world to play our part

00:20:25.200 how many Americans need to be vaccinated first to go back to normal what is the percentage of

00:20:34.320 total vaccinations that have to be deployed well i think look i think we get

00:20:43.760 the vast majority like it's going on in some of the some industries and some schools

00:20:49.120 97 or 98 percent before we're close yeah so uh is there a stop is there a is there an issue with

00:21:02.080 that still he's just asking for 97 or 98 percent of all people to be vaccinated before we could go

00:21:06.880 back to normal when your plan revolves around basically full compliance usually those plans

00:21:12.160 don't work they don't tend to work well they will people make decisions on their own patients

00:21:17.920 he is losing his patience with people yes and we have now fully seen uh 50 percent of the increases

00:21:24.320 of the last two months of vaccination rates have disappeared since he announced the mandate

00:21:29.200 half of the gains of the past two months have disappeared since he announced the mandate

00:21:33.360 which is a really good thing if you if you're one of those people who are thinking i'd like to get

00:21:37.120 more people vaccinated this would be the opposite of the result you desire however are you blaming it

00:21:42.800 on him i don't you know i don't know honestly when it first started happening i thought maybe it was a

00:21:47.840 weird labor day data quirk like you know a lot of people because they there's a couple days there

00:21:52.560 where they don't turn in you know really any any results from the data uh and the new vaccinations

00:21:58.240 but no it's it's ever since he ever since he went on television and said i'm losing my patients with

00:22:03.760 you uh our patients is running thin uh people have stopped going to get vaccinated in large numbers

00:22:10.240 wow why do you think that is stew i don't know it seems as if they're acting almost like their goal

00:22:17.120 is that everyone gets vaccinated except their political enemies that's that's it's almost like

00:22:23.280 that's what they feel like they're it's interesting it's almost like americans are acting like americans

00:22:29.280 uh you're not the boss of me you're not gonna tell me what to do does seem that way a little bit

00:22:36.800 maybe he's never had kids oh no he has this is the glenbeck program so say maybe he's never had

00:25:44.800 this case a little bit of a remix of that situation well i liked uh i liked um uh saki over the weekend

00:25:55.040 saying that she was just really tired of republicans blaming afghanistan and the border on this

00:26:01.600 administration she was just really tired of it yeah i'd be tired of it if i were her too because 1.00

00:26:08.160 everyone's doing it and she has to answer for it all the time yeah so i'm sure she is tired of it

00:26:12.320 problem is it is their fault yeah so that's a problem wow wow okay you're just gonna go there

00:26:18.640 without hearing uh millie uh let's listen to some more uh senator reed here about the viability of the

00:26:24.640 man he's good that's really good and how you know the thing about these hearings is uh they just all

00:26:31.840 the senate they don't they're not actually interested in what the person has to say have you know

00:26:37.760 so bad i hate i really do hate these hearings because it's all pre-written stuff by these 0.91

00:26:44.720 senators who just do a speech and when the person tries to answer the question they just cut them

00:26:50.720 off to get to their next big moment that i guess is going to raise dollars in their next fundraising

00:26:55.360 email yeah they want to have these like little youtube moments now occasionally we get something

00:26:59.360 out of that i think we've seen like for example ran paul be very effective with anthony fauci and these

00:27:04.080 things it's not without not entirely worthless but here mostly you're going to hear basically

00:27:10.640 the democrats say look how bad trump was and you're going to say republicans give their speeches about

00:27:16.240 about uh millie and how he shouldn't have talked to china these are both you know you can argue

00:27:21.680 whether they're valid points or not right but they're valid points for their own sides the question

00:27:25.760 do we get i want stuff from millie i want him to be asked questions i want him like like ran paul did

00:27:31.680 specific questions where you know we're giving where fauci answering them gave us something

00:27:38.960 gave us a better understanding of that situation it's a trap yeah it really was yeah and that's what

00:27:46.480 we want right we want someone who's going to actually ask a question that's going to elicit some

00:27:51.120 sort of response and the speech itself makes no difference right and uh not only elicit a response

00:27:57.200 but put them on the record one way or another you know did you make that phone call yes or no who did

00:28:03.840 you speak to about it who was on the phone call did you ever tell the president about that phone call

00:28:09.840 yes or no but we know he made the phone call i know and he's never he's never denied any of this no

00:28:16.880 well he can't i mean we've got him on record we've got him on you know recordings he's he's argued he has

00:28:22.560 responded and said that it wasn't bad right he said of course he says he didn't do anything bad

00:28:28.320 right uh yeah he did yeah he did i mean first of all this is what they got general oh yeah yeah you

00:28:34.320 did you should be on there yeah right um i mean this is what they got general flynn on remember

00:28:40.720 the logan act because he called and said look there's a new administration coming in

00:28:45.920 let's not escalate to the point where we we can't ratchet things back down don't do anything

00:28:53.360 okay and he got in trouble for that how dare him do that well i personally think that one is okay he's

00:29:00.240 calling on behalf of the incoming president and saying let's let's take a breath here just take a

00:29:07.120 breath don't do anything until we get into office you know because we're going to have a different

00:29:11.600 approach i think that was very wise of him to do i mean that's what they would argue they were

00:29:16.560 doing that's what millie would argue he was doing he called up and he said look when we know it's crazy

00:29:21.120 right now not on behalf of the president he worked for the president that's the problem he is he was the

00:29:26.720 the chief of staff a chief of uh staffs right so it would be okay for the you know incoming yeah

00:29:34.880 blinken to do that call up and say hey look things are going to be better in a couple weeks correct

00:29:38.880 hold on correct not for the guy who is currently the advisor to the president and telling him uh

00:29:47.280 that i'll call you if anything is bad's gonna happen and not telling the president he's making

00:29:53.200 that phone call did you hear woodward's excuse on this by any chance no it's it's interesting because

00:29:58.400 i i read the book peril and it is the the way conservatives and even in the media i think this this whole

00:30:07.520 millie china thing it has been taken is not how it was presented in the book it was presented in the

00:30:13.440 book as a way to illustrate how bad trump was it was not presented in the book as a way to show that

00:30:20.080 millie was undermining trump correct it was presented as a way to say look trump was so bad his general had

00:30:26.400 to call and say we promise we won't nuke you china it's it's a totally different spin so woodward is

00:30:32.160 saying like no what we were saying was trump was a a national security threat and that's why this guy

00:30:40.320 had to do this this guy would agree with you but that's what he's trying to say which to me is absurd

00:30:46.000 i mean you know that they're just trying it's interesting they thought it would be taken this

00:30:50.240 way by the media and i think even the media at some level has said you know this doesn't feel right

00:30:54.800 you can't just have your generals calling up and and doing things that are behind the president's back now

00:31:00.080 now they're they've argued since oh there's lots of people on this call and and i talked to esper and

00:31:05.600 we we you know not everything goes to the president but i i talked to my my superiors

00:31:11.440 but i i think it's pretty weak reasoning here it's it's way better when the president himself

00:31:16.960 says to like the president of russia hey after the election i'm gonna have a lot more leeway to do

00:31:24.720 whatever you guys want me to do so just hang on and then that's transmitted back to vladimir it's

00:31:31.440 way better when that happens that's a good point but the democrats have this down they've they've got

00:31:35.920 the uh the treason aspect uh down to a real science here they do they do they do it's great um i'm

00:31:43.200 wondering how someone justifies that uh the last president was out of control who brought peace

00:31:51.280 peace and this one who is breaking all norms internationally um in in dangerous ways and

00:32:02.160 getting americans killed how this one is not somehow or another out of control yeah so it

00:32:10.400 it's amazing he he can get away with and you know and they're still they still aren't noticing 0.83

00:32:16.320 some of the most glaring things about this guy that i don't know he's losing his mind there's

00:32:22.960 another little aspect that they might want to pay attention to sometime in the near future because

00:32:28.480 you're gonna have to deal with it i'm wondering you know did you hear the uh opening of the show

00:32:33.440 today where we played the audio from uh the new yorker about how to blow up yeah it sounded like uh

00:32:40.240 they were interviewing a terrorist no no he's an environmentalist i meant an environmentalist yeah

00:32:46.160 yeah he just thinks that you know because it's so dire we just have to start blowing up uh pipelines

00:32:54.080 that's all they're saying that's all they're saying it's very nuanced it's very nuanced uh

00:32:58.720 uh and uh and that's that's that's totally fine yeah they they are

00:33:04.560 they are uh they are coming out and saying things that i never thought possible that they would ever

00:33:12.640 say um however i'm wondering now if democrats i mean the kind who used to live next door to you know

00:33:22.240 what i mean and probably still do live next door to that aren't crazies do they see that you're now

00:33:31.040 being spoon-fed environmental terrorism they're now starting to embrace terrorism

00:33:41.360 i don't know we're so divided we are so torn apart um on every issue that i don't know if there

00:33:49.440 are just normal democrats anymore not very many of them anyway i mean they they hate the other side

00:33:54.640 so much that they can't see any of this stuff well there's there has to be because there are

00:33:59.200 there are there are many groups that make up the right there are the people who are just get them

00:34:07.920 uh that's a small little fringe group then there there are the trump supporters then the people who

00:34:14.400 are reluctant trump supporters and then non-trump supporters you know that this the right is broken

00:34:22.400 up and fragmented are you saying it's just one lockstep feels like democratic party it does feel

00:34:28.320 like it because you never hear anybody speak out against it it does feel like that but i think

00:34:32.240 sometimes i i notice this with vaccines a lot right like who are the people that get highlighted you

00:34:36.400 get the people who are like you have the vaccine or you go to prison on one side and then you have

00:34:41.520 the people who are like i don't want your fancy medicine on the other and it's like i don't know you

00:34:46.800 talk to people about it and people like yeah you know i don't know i'm a little i don't really want

00:34:50.720 to get it i don't like getting shots i don't want the side effects right and then you talk to the other

00:34:54.320 people on the other side like you know i think it's a good idea but if you don't want to get it

00:34:57.440 you know whatever what are we going to do like i think that's most people in reality on the internet

00:35:02.720 in in in in the media those people never get highlighted but like i don't know when i have

00:35:08.160 conversations with people about this stuff they're not insane they don't they don't sound like they tweet

00:35:13.520 and i don't know if that's just a function of social media or what you know gets clicks online

00:35:18.960 or what but it definitely does seem different you know i i mean there are there are definitely people

00:35:25.760 i know but we live in texas yeah no that's true but i have it different i have a lot of people

00:35:30.560 friends who live around the country um and you know we've lived in every city basically we're in

00:35:35.840 radio so we've moved 46 000 times and when i talk to people they're like there are some people i

00:35:40.640 know who are like like hate donald trump with such a passion that no matter what is associated with

00:35:47.120 him they will you know revolt against it and say he's the worst person in the world but like i also

00:35:53.200 know people who voted for joe biden who are just like i don't know i mean like you know it just seemed

00:35:57.040 like he was a bet a better i don't know trump it seems like he's out of control but whatever it like

00:36:01.760 there's not like not everyone has that i think people do live their own lives they do actually like

00:36:07.200 care and a lot of these people by the way are very gettable on things like crt you know people

00:36:13.360 they might totally hate donald trump and i think the vaccine too and afghanistan yeah in afghanistan

00:36:19.520 in particular afghanistan's the one that i think we're closest on i haven't met one person who has

00:36:25.200 defended what happened in afghanistan including all my most liberal friends none of them say it was

00:36:32.160 acceptable let alone incredibly successful or whatever the terminology they used was yeah you

00:36:38.640 know i i haven't met anybody i don't think there i don't think there's a soul i don't there's anybody

00:36:43.200 inside the biden administration who thinks that went well hang on just a second he's uh the the general

00:36:48.400 is now speaking we want to give you an opportunity to have opening statements okay we're going to skip

00:38:29.840 all right let's see what uh general milley has to say in his opening statement here

00:38:37.120 a landlocked country no government a highly dynamic situation on the ground

00:38:43.440 and an active credible and lethal terrorist threat

00:38:48.480 in a span of just two days from the 13th to the 13th of august we went from working alongside a

00:38:54.560 democratically elected long time partner government to coordinating warily with a long time enemy

00:39:02.320 we operated in a deeply dangerous environment why and it proved a lesson in pragmatism and

00:39:09.760 professionalism we learned a lot of other lessons too about how to turn an air force base in cutter

00:39:16.560 to an international airport overnight why would you have to do that about how to rapidly screen

00:39:20.800 process and manifest large numbers of people why nothing like this has ever been done before and

00:39:26.640 no other military in the world could have pulled it off and i think that is crucial no everywhere

00:39:31.200 ends like this now i know that members of this committee will have questions on many things such

00:39:35.600 as why we turned over bagram airfield oh yeah yeah how real is our over the horizon capability oh that's

00:39:41.840 another good one and why didn't we start evacuation sooner right yes and why didn't we stay longer to

00:39:46.480 get more people out great questions so let me take each in turn okay all right retaining bagram would have

00:39:52.320 required putting as many as 5 000 u.s troops in harm's way just to operate and defend it and it

00:39:58.160 would have contributed contributed little to the mission that we've been assigned no and that was to

00:40:03.120 protect and defend the embassy which was some 30 miles away but the problem was the assignment that's

00:40:07.600 what the distance from kabul also rendered bagram of little value any evacuation staying at bagram

00:40:14.000 even for counter-terrorism purposes meant staying at war in afghanistan no something that the president

00:40:19.760 made clear that he would not do right that's the problem that's what we're talking about horizon

00:40:24.080 operations when we use that term we refer to assets and target analysis that come from outside the

00:40:30.160 country in which the operation occurs these are effective and fairly common operations this is how

00:40:37.680 you hit the people we conducted one such strike in syria eliminating why not talk about the one that

00:40:43.440 was in afghanistan yeah the high value target the high value the kids that were delivering water

00:40:48.880 but absolutely possible uh it's possible and the intelligence that supports them comes from a variety

00:40:54.160 of sources and not just are they the same sources on the ground told you that those kids delivering

00:40:59.520 water were the ones you should bomb yeah because the nice thing about that one glenn was that uh

00:41:03.840 they the kids were really excited to see their dad so they all ran out to the car to greet him and

00:41:10.320 that's when the car blew up that is so sweet but we have those over the verizon capabilities this

00:41:15.120 is the glenn back program thank you so much i want to talk to you a little bit about the covenant it's

00:41:20.160 about the old testament in fact you know hollywood has made a whole bunch of old testament movies

00:41:26.960 they've made biblical movies and they always change the story um the covenant is something that is will

00:41:33.360 be a multi-season tv series adaptation of the stories of the old testament and it's written by andrew

00:41:39.200 clavin who is a great writer and a good friend and respects uh the honest depictions of the bible

00:41:46.240 if andrew's involved in it it's going to be it's going to be great um and kayo films is producing

00:41:51.120 this series through crowdfunding which means if you want to see these things made you believe in the

00:41:58.640 old testament and you believe those things are important to teach um back the covenant you can have

00:43:57.600 anyway dan's been suffering from shoulder pain for quite a while and due to an injury he sustained

00:44:02.560 while lifting weights it was uh bad enough that he and his doctor were talking about getting a shoulder

00:44:07.600 replacement not fun he kept hearing me talk about relief factor on the radio began to wonder hmm

00:44:16.080 would that work for me he wasn't especially hopeful but the prospect of a soldier a shoulder replacement

00:44:22.880 uh didn't sound very fun he literally had nothing to lose everything in the world to gain he started

00:44:28.640 taking relief factor he says within a couple of weeks beginning to take it the pain started to go away

00:44:32.720 his mobility began to return dan got his life back didn't have to have surgery feel the difference

00:45:16.320 address those for a minute or two again i've submitted memoranda for the committee to take a

00:45:20.720 look at you may proceed mr chairman i've i've served this nation for 42 years i spent years in combat and

00:45:30.000 i buried a lot of my troops who died while defending this country my loyalty to this nation its people

00:45:37.840 and the constitution hasn't changed and will never change as long as i have a breath to give

00:45:43.120 my loyalty is absolute and i will not turn my back on the fallen with respect to the chinese calls 0.99

00:45:52.480 i routinely communicated with my counterpart general lee with the knowledge and coordination of civilian

00:45:59.120 oversight i am specifically directed to communicate with the chinese by department of defense guidance

00:46:07.040 the policy dialogue system these military to military communications at the highest level

00:46:12.640 are critical to the security of the united states in order to deconflict military actions manage crisis

00:46:19.040 and present prevent war between great powers that are armed with the world's most deadliest weapons

00:46:25.520 the calls on 30 october and 8 january were coordinated before and after with secretary esper and acting

00:46:33.600 secretary miller's staffs and the interagency the specific purpose of the october and january calls

00:46:40.640 were to generate or were generated by concerning intelligence which caused us to believe the chinese

00:46:46.960 were worried about an attack on them by the united states i know i am certain that president trump did not

00:46:56.240 intend to attack the chinese and it is my directed responsibility and it was my directed responsibility by the 1.00

00:47:04.240 secretary to convey that intent to the chinese my task at that time was to de-escalate my message again was consistent

00:47:15.680 stay calm that's not what the book says is it de-escalate we are not going to attack you

00:47:24.400 at secretary of defense esper's direction i made a call to general lee on 30 october eight people sat in that call with me

00:47:32.240 and i read out the call within 30 minutes of the call ending on 31 december the chinese requested

00:47:38.880 another call with me the deputy assistant secretary of defense for asia pacific policy helped coordinate

00:47:44.960 my call which was then scheduled for 8 january and he made a preliminary call on 6 january 11 people

00:47:53.120 attended that call with me and readouts of this call were distributed to the interagency that same day

00:47:58.720 shortly after my call ended with general lee i personally informed both secretary of state pompeo

00:48:05.840 and white house chief of staff meadows about the call among other topics soon after that i attended a

00:48:12.960 meeting with acting secretary miller where i briefed him on the call later that same day on 8 january

00:48:20.400 speaker of the house pelosi called me to inquire about the president's ability to launch nuclear weapons

00:48:25.760 i sought to assure her that nuclear launch is governed by a very specific and deliberate process

00:48:33.600 she was concerned and made very or made various personal references characterizing the president

00:48:40.560 i explained to her that the president is the sole nuclear launch authority and he doesn't launch them

00:48:47.280 alone and that i am not qualified to determine the mental health of the president of the united states

00:48:54.960 there are processes protocols procedures in place and i repeatedly assured her that there is no chance

00:49:03.200 of an illegal unauthorized or accidental launch by presidential directive and secretary defense

00:49:10.560 directives the chairman is part of the process to ensure the president is fully informed when

00:49:15.760 determining the use of the world's deadliest weapons by law i am not in the chain of command and i know

00:49:21.760 that however by presidential directive and dod instruction i am in the chain of communication

00:49:28.720 to fulfill my legal statutory role as the president's primary military advisor after the speaker pelosi call

00:49:37.120 i convened a short meeting in my office with key members of my staff to refresh all of us on the

00:49:42.720 procedures which we practice daily at the action officer level additionally i immediately informed acting

00:49:49.520 secretary of defense miller of sec of uh speaker pelosi's phone call at no time was i attempting to

00:49:57.280 change or influence the process usurp authority or insert myself in the chain of command but i am expected

00:50:07.120 i am required to give my advice and ensure that the president is fully informed on military matters

00:50:14.560 i am submitting for the record a more detailed and unclassified memoranda

00:50:17.920 that i believe you all now have although late and i welcome a thorough walk through on every single

00:50:23.040 one of these events all right so still happy give me the uh because that's not really how it's

00:50:28.080 portrayed in the book is it yeah a couple different incidents here on the china call the the book does

00:50:35.520 does indicate that he called uh china and tried to de-escalate the the impression you get for the

00:50:42.800 the book is that they had intelligence that the chinese were worried about this so how did they

00:50:48.720 acquire that some sort of uh espionage or whatever that they thought that they were worried about us

00:50:54.400 attacking because they saw the the unrest here and they don't you know the chinese wouldn't necessarily 1.00

00:51:02.960 understand that and he tried to explain to them oh this is just the messiness of democracy it's just

00:51:08.000 the messiness of democracy um but in the book it's portrayed as they shouldn't have read it as this

00:51:14.080 is the biggest attack on democracy since the civil war yeah it's odd very different to spin that we've

00:51:19.280 even heard from millie now obviously you could excuse him for lying to the chinese i would have no problem

00:51:24.880 with him sure whatever but there's i don't know what i mean my guess is he's lying to us yes however the

00:51:31.920 book itself portrays it much more like it's a secret call than he's saying here there's not all that

00:51:37.440 detail about there's 11 people on and all of that it's portrayed more as like a he was so distraught

00:51:45.360 by the happenings here sure uh that he had to call to make sure that this was uh this this a possibility

00:51:53.120 of an attack was put down at no point did they indicate as he mentions there that he actually

00:51:59.040 believed trump was going to attack there's they now there seems to be worry from pelosi on that and

00:52:05.280 that's the other part of that call pelosi calling him and he mentions there in his testimony um you

00:52:12.960 know talking about how he you know look i don't know i have no way of uh i'm not a medical doctor

00:52:22.160 he has no way of uh determining whether the president's mental health is at stake or not

00:52:28.080 however in the call multiple times he tells nancy pelosi that he agrees with everything she's saying 0.77

00:52:34.800 and says it and she's because she's the one saying he's insane he's crazy and they have a transcript

00:52:41.040 the full transcript in the book and he replies uh i don't have the the uh i agree with you but i agree

00:52:48.720 with you on it's like he says something like i agree with you on everything that you're saying we are in

00:52:53.200 100 agreement uh that's a little different than i'm not a doctor fancy i can't comment on that i

00:53:02.880 can't comment on that that's that's for you to say not for me to even and weigh in on now when you read

00:53:08.800 the book you get the very very strong suspicion especially if you know anything about woodward's

00:53:14.960 past writings that general milley is a big time source for the book uh many of these uh conversations

00:53:22.080 are in detail he's involved in them and he comes off looking like the hero which is always how you

00:53:28.160 can tell in a woodward book who who is the source correct because he just you know he gives them the

00:53:33.440 most positive treatment which is why he gets people to participate because if you don't participate with

00:53:38.160 him he makes you look like a criminal so people participate all the time i mean even donald trump

00:53:43.360 talked to bob woodward about one of his books even though he knew it was going to be a negative book

00:53:48.240 because if you don't talk to him they just take everyone else's lies as fact so you have to at

00:53:52.960 least attempt to push back it's a nice little uh uh circuitous system woodward's got going on with

00:53:58.800 these books but you get the strong sense that milley is a source for almost all of this type of intrigue

00:54:05.600 in the book all right um the leaders are facing questions about the afghan withdrawal we want to stay with this

00:54:12.560 a bit uh uh today um because this is i mean this is the worst thing that has happened militarily and

00:54:23.440 i would frame it a little bit differently i would say you can't call it anything but a success that's

00:54:28.400 how i would frame it is it that's how you would frame it i also have red hair and a dress on right

00:54:34.240 now you don't have either of those if i did if i was jen saki i would say this was anything but a

00:54:39.040 success okay what's interesting about um milley's testimony is as he's beginning the testimony as we

00:54:46.640 were coming back to the show he said it's obvious the war did not end on the terms we wanted now i

00:54:54.480 thought it was you couldn't say it was anything but a success but now he's saying we didn't these are

00:55:00.720 not the terms that we wanted so i don't know i guess there's some little uh through way you can come

00:55:06.640 through and make both of those statements make sense or maybe they were just hoping for failure

00:55:12.400 and then they got a success and that's can i tell you they got a they have a i believe i actually do

00:55:22.080 believe that there are those that were involved in this that did want a failure and so this was wildly

00:55:29.360 successful in accomplishing all of the goals that they wanted which was demoralize america

00:55:36.240 make people question our our um military and uh also drive a wedge between us and our uh uh our allies

00:55:47.920 if that was your goal there is no other way to describe this other than a complete success

00:55:53.800 by the way i did an interview with general flynn uh yesterday and uh it's going to be the podcast

00:56:01.500 on thursday for blaze tv subscribers if you haven't subscribed yet you kind of want to see this one

00:56:07.020 he had a lot to say about general milley which was weird uh he had a lot were the the tight tight

00:56:14.740 buddies would you say i wouldn't i wouldn't characterize it that way no no i wouldn't characterize

00:56:21.340 it that way um and he had a lot to say about afghanistan oh and he had an awful lot to say about

00:56:28.480 the justice department and a lot to say about the media he had generally a lot to say i bet general

00:56:36.760 flynn the first interview with him uh that comes up on thursday only on blaze tv back in 60 seconds

00:57:50.660 rec tech r-e-c-t-e-q dot com that's rec tech with a q rec tech dot com 10 seconds station id

00:58:00.880 let's go back to uh general milley to the recommendation 2500 in hoff what i said in my

00:58:18.060 opening statement and the memoranda that i wrote back in the fall of 2020 remained consistent and i

00:58:24.380 do agree with that this committee is unsure as whether or not general miller's uh recommendation

00:58:29.920 ever got to the president um you know obviously there are conversations with the president

00:58:35.880 but i would like to ask even though uh general mckenzie i think you've all made this statement

00:58:41.240 did you talk to the president about general miller's recommendation sir i was present when that

00:58:46.960 discussion uh occurred and i'm confident that the president heard all the recommendations

00:58:51.580 and listened to them very thoughtfully so one of the recommendations that was made by the three

00:58:56.960 of you would be the recommendation that originally it was made by general miller's uh it uh two uh two

00:59:04.900 weeks ago um during the august 18th interview on abc george seppernopoulos asked president biden

00:59:15.140 whether u.s troops would stay beyond august 31st if there are still americans to evacuate

00:59:21.600 president biden responded and this is a quote if there's american citizens left we're going to stay

00:59:29.060 to get them all out um this didn't happen the president's uh biden's decision resulted in all

00:59:37.740 the troops leaving but the american citizens are still trying to get out um how many is how many

00:59:46.220 american citizens uh is your opinion are still there uh just just go down the line each one of you

00:59:53.100 here comes uh anyone general austin for to the state department for that uh for that uh assessment

01:00:02.720 but that's uh that's a dynamic process they've they've been contacting the uh civilians that are in

01:00:10.700 in afghanistan and uh and again i would defer to them for definitive numbers

01:00:15.520 here comes general mille just same uh as secretary just said there were numbers at the beginning of

01:00:26.540 this whole process with a uh the f-77 report out of the um out of the embassy um and we know that we

01:00:33.220 took out uh almost 6 000 i guess it is american citizens but how many remain okay do you do all of

01:00:39.100 you agree that uh secretary of state blenken when he made his analysis as to how many people would

01:00:45.440 be here but would still be there he talked about the 10 to 15 000 citizens left behind and uh the and then

01:00:54.660 evacuated some 6 000 that would mean a minimum of 4 000 would be um would still be there now would

01:01:03.480 anyone disagree with that by your silence i assume yeah you agree i i have no uh i don't i personally

01:01:15.320 don't believe that there are 4 000 american citizens uh uh still left in afghanistan but i cannot confirm

01:01:21.320 or or deny that uh senator so you think secretary of state was probably wrong in his analysis thank you

01:01:28.840 mr chairman thank you and just for the record the chair and the and the vice chair's last ranking

01:01:34.220 member have each divided by the five minute room so it is fair good analysis mr chairman and thank you

01:01:42.380 secretary austin general milley and general mckenzie for being here this morning and secretary austin

01:01:47.920 and general milley thank you for your effort to put into some historical perspective what happened in

01:01:54.020 afghanistan and for recognizing the incredible service and sacrifice to keep you updated uh

01:02:00.720 democrats like the military right now general milley that'll change soon in a hearing before the

01:02:05.580 senate appropriation you are a democrat and you wonder what you're supposed to like or not like

01:02:10.020 today i explicitly raised concerns about the flight of at-risk afghans until we start talking about

01:02:15.280 january 6 then they're good i ask about the department's plans to evacuate them

01:02:19.220 um now you indicated today that you you thought we might be facing the kind of desperate situation

01:02:27.360 that we saw in kabul um but your response at that time was that quote lots of planning was ongoing

01:02:37.840 and this is end quote and the state department was leading efforts pertaining to evacuating our afghan

01:02:45.560 partners and you explicitly told the committee that in your professional opinion you did not see

01:02:51.820 saigon 1975 in afghanistan so i i'm just trying to figure out why we missed or from a public perception

01:03:04.740 it appears that we didn't anticipate the rapid fall because it wasn't saigon 1975 afghanistan that was far

01:03:13.800 worse and the rise of the taliban and the way we saw it play out on television in afghanistan what did

01:03:21.940 we miss i think senator we absolutely missed the rapid 11-day collapse of the afghan military and the

01:03:32.960 collapse of their government i think there was a lot of i ask you something stew did you miss that

01:03:37.700 did you miss that did that did that sneak up on you not at all i saw it all happening on television

01:03:43.760 right and before when they just said we're just gonna come out and the troops are gonna be fine and

01:03:49.800 everybody's gonna be great did you believe that or did you have some intel uh i had some secret

01:03:56.680 intel secret intel because i must have had secret intel because i didn't think that was going to work

01:04:02.220 out uh at all i didn't i wasn't surprised by the collapse of afghanistan 0.64

01:05:34.740 hello and welcome to the glenn beck program we're really glad that you are uh really glad that you're

01:05:51.040 here thank you so much for listening i want to play a rant from joe rogan that i just think is

01:05:56.700 inspiring now he's in trouble for this because somebody made a video of it and then put some

01:06:04.900 images to it that include the the nazis and they're not happy so joe rogan must pay but listen to his words

01:06:14.920 as soon as you give politicians power any kind of power that didn't exist previously

01:06:21.100 if they can figure out a way to force you into carrying something that lets you enter businesses

01:06:28.020 or lets you do this or lets businesses open historically they are not going to give that

01:06:34.100 power up they find new reasons to use i'll be back we have to protect those freedoms at all cost

01:06:40.520 whether you agree with people's choices or not because it is the foundation that this country

01:06:44.800 was founded on freedom this idea of freedom there's so many people that think it's frivolous

01:06:51.680 it's not important it's not the main thing that we should be focused on but it is the literal

01:06:56.560 structure that allows this country to be so amazing every single country that's ever existed

01:07:04.140 other than the united states up until 1776 every country that has ever existed was run by dictators

01:07:13.580 all of them this is the first experiment in self-government that actually worked and it

01:07:18.740 created the greatest superpower the world's ever known it created the greatest cultural machine

01:07:22.980 the greatest machine of art and creativity and innovation right here and how did it do that

01:07:29.540 it did it through freedom and as soon as you see something anything that comes along and inhibits

01:07:35.380 your freedom you should be very cautious about it should be very suspicious because anything that

01:07:41.840 comes along that can inhibit your freedom is by definition anti-american all right that's horrible

01:07:49.440 isn't it that's horrible now why is he in trouble why is he in trouble because he says

01:07:58.460 uh you know that anybody's trying to take your rights away and as he's saying that images of the

01:08:04.740 holocaust and that apparently can't be done right that's their big their big line i guess the the group of

01:08:11.640 people that told you that donald trump was adolf hitler for the past five years now suddenly has problem

01:08:18.220 with holocaust comparisons that is a uh that's an interesting new discovery from the left i don't know

01:08:26.940 how they came across it wow and by the way we should point out that joe rogan didn't compare

01:08:31.400 uh no that at all he that's that's the who the filmmaker who uh who put images to his words

01:08:38.800 used some nazi uh nazi because and a lot of other images too dictators from dictators dictators and

01:08:47.380 whenever anyone starts to say uh you know certain things those are signs that you're on the wrong path

01:08:53.940 right the wrong path is the best way to put this because at the end of the path if the end of the

01:08:59.500 path is nazi germany you don't take two steps down that path you don't take five steps down that path

01:09:07.220 you take zero steps down that path you avoid the path at all no one is saying that currently

01:09:14.500 we are in the middle of murdering millions of people however when government takes control

01:09:21.100 sometimes bad people wind up with the power behind that government and they are able to use those

01:09:29.260 controls against the people i will give you for the left an example of someone that might concern you

01:09:35.480 with lots and lots of power his name's donald trump remember how much you remember how you were saying

01:09:40.400 he was hitler well what if he had all of this power what if you gave him all of that power what

01:09:46.260 if this person that you've been saying is adolf hitler for five years what if he had all of this power

01:09:52.400 how would you feel about it this is why it doesn't matter about the man it doesn't matter who the

01:09:58.540 person is doesn't matter the party you limit the country is designed so that no matter how crappy

01:10:05.740 your president is they can't do those things right no matter how crappy congress or the senate yep or

01:10:12.400 the supreme court or anybody because you can't do it but it requires all of those people to stand with

01:10:18.980 the constitution of the united states and they're not and they're not doing it because of their own

01:10:24.440 power and their own money etc etc or their own arrogance they think they know better and that's where

01:10:32.760 dictators usually start they just know better than everyone else and that's what we were designed to

01:10:40.220 stop and we're the only one designed to stop it now they say you know just because it's a like a like

01:10:47.600 it doesn't mean it's gonna end in the holocaust well okay but i don't really think that we should be 0.98

01:10:54.800 going down the german road in any way shape or form uh yeah it may not lead to the ovens but

01:11:03.540 i don't think i want to even go down that road at all i mean maybe we'll have some strudel but

01:11:10.640 that's as deep into germany as i care to go but if you look at the this this was developed uh by genocide

01:11:18.900 watch uh along with the united states department of state the eight stages of genocide uh and here

01:11:29.000 they are so would you say that we want to go down this road at all or if we want to make sure that

01:11:36.620 it never happens again we shouldn't do any of these things here's step one people are divided into them

01:11:47.060 and us all right well that's been done that's done okay so step one on our road to the holocaust 0.89

01:11:55.480 has already been done step two symbolization when combined with hatred symbols may be forced upon

01:12:04.320 unwilling members of pariah groups to combat symbolization hate symbols can be legally prohibited

01:12:12.400 uh as hate speech okay well i don't think that that that star has been sewn on to anybody

01:12:21.440 i think the hate symbol that has been given by the left is the make america great hat anything that

01:12:31.820 identifies you as a trump supporter you are now part of a group that it's okay to hate

01:12:38.700 would you agree with that yeah uh i would say that's true i mean you look at i mean

01:12:46.920 uh there's a there was an episode of uh curb your enthusiasm from this past year where

01:12:53.000 larry david decided he didn't want to talk to people so he wore a maga hat so that people wouldn't

01:13:00.120 talk to him anymore because he knew no one would want to interact with him if he had it on i mean i think

01:13:04.960 that that's obviously a comedic way of telling it but i think that that's kind of true i think it is

01:13:09.880 large swaths of the country oh yeah large swaths of the country the other symbol that is okay to hate

01:13:15.440 is not wearing a mask if you wear a mask you're fine you can scream at the person you can scream

01:13:21.040 at the person that's not wearing a mask remember we had that whole you know punch a nazi movement for a

01:13:26.280 while there uh it's you know related to the antifa stuff where you know you see someone who 0.84

01:13:31.200 you quote unquote think is a fascist it's okay to punch them right it's okay to attack them because

01:13:36.020 they're we're anti-fascists so there is definitely a a movement and and a powerful one so we're on that

01:13:44.040 road yeah but we're not yeah we're not there we're not we're not officially assigning a symbol

01:13:49.340 but the symbols exist uh discrimination is the third one law or cultural power law or cultural power

01:13:58.260 excludes groups from full civil rights segregation or apartheid laws denial of voting rights okay

01:14:06.560 well law or cultural power we have that um denying groups full civil rights or segregation we are now in

01:14:16.860 our colleges segregating we're segregating instead of black people out we're now segregating white 0.79

01:14:23.320 people out new york city is most most younger african americans are not allowed to go into

01:14:29.320 restaurants yes you got it on that direction right so you have multiple places there i mean certainly

01:14:35.080 not full civil rights have eroded to that level but but again you are being want to go down this road

01:14:40.180 you're being told that their patience is running thin and you will not be able to do things if you

01:14:46.700 don't have the vaccine they are that's definitely again that's not civil rights but there there are

01:14:53.820 problems right uh step four we're halfway to the ovens we're halfway to the ovens no well you're saying

01:15:01.960 this is half of this list yeah yeah yeah yeah but we haven't done all the things so far on the list

01:15:07.300 we've done no but some of them on the road yeah we're on the road on all of all of them so far right

01:15:12.160 uh four dehumanization one group denies the humanity of the other group members of it are

01:15:19.500 equated with animals vermin insects or diseases already done that's that's done i don't know that

01:15:26.120 that's well it's done by some by some like for example you watch jimmy kimmel the other night

01:15:31.520 saying like yeah let let the people who are unvaccinated die in the hospital yeah it's not

01:15:35.440 just jimmy kimmel you have doctors saying that you have some but i mean i don't know that that's

01:15:39.700 the entire society or the entire apparatus of the government saying that but it is

01:15:44.180 it's becoming more popular yes becoming more popular uh organization this is where it this is

01:15:52.800 where the metal meets the road or the uh the rubber meets the road uh you have terrible tires

01:15:58.500 you have the first four and those can be done culturally or through official means the four of

01:16:08.500 these have been done culturally now you get into organization genocide is always organized special

01:16:15.540 army units or militias are often trained and armed um i think we're going through that now with our

01:16:23.540 military and being trained on crt and you know they're out searching for people who are trump supporters

01:16:31.420 because they're radicals etc etc it's the beginning of it or what could be the beginning of it

01:16:38.700 do you disagree with that i mean i i see what you're saying i mean the idea that

01:16:44.700 the the emphasis on domestic terrorism yes um is a problem i mean that does that mean that we have

01:16:52.840 organized militias going after no no no i'm not saying that i'm saying this is the beginning

01:16:57.420 the the training is beginning to see things uh as uh parts of the country however you vote or if you

01:17:06.320 won't play along with the woke game you're a problem you're an extremist that's the beginning of the

01:17:12.360 training um then polarization hate groups broadcast polarizing propaganda but we're already doing that

01:17:21.480 right now in this program that's what we do every day uh no remember i i mean i think this is coming

01:17:27.780 from this is aimed at the victim group and i think that propaganda is coming out uh already preparation

01:17:36.020 mass killing is planned thank god i don't think that's happening uh persecution that's when people

01:17:42.220 are rounded up and put into ghettos or concentration camps and then extermination by the way the 10th step

01:17:49.920 the perpetrators deny they committed any crime

01:17:53.940 how hard that must be you know we've always seen this and we saw this in germany uh and we still see

01:18:04.960 this in germany they're they're you know people like i didn't have anything i well no i we didn't do

01:18:10.220 anything wrong that was just that was what was going on we didn't know how hard it must be for the

01:18:16.440 people who lived through that and know their new their neighbors did know

01:18:20.320 i mean how many times do we have people denying things like for instance right now the democrats

01:18:27.320 not anywhere in the scale but the democrats denying that they were the ones that were holding kids

01:18:33.760 out of school but they were the ones they now claim they were fighting for the schools to be open

01:18:38.840 it was the evil republicans that were trying to keep the schools closed

01:18:42.560 i mean how do how do you survive that how do you i mean how do you make that so your brain just

01:18:47.940 doesn't explode and i'll say like as important it is to warn about these roads it's also important

01:18:55.260 to note you know like it doesn't things it does things are standing in the way still big things we

01:19:00.540 have a constitutional structure that stops this we have great people in in the military and our in our

01:19:06.380 police that stop this and like look i'll be honest you know everyday life it seems normal i mean i like

01:19:13.180 these things escalate slowly but these problems are problems that you you get rid of now now so you

01:19:20.280 don't worry about these bigger problems correct correct and as edwin black told me um these problems

01:19:27.200 we have this means the holocaust may never ever come to america but it also means that we've done a lot 0.71

01:19:37.220 of the work where it could happen tomorrow we just have to be aware of when you're polarizing when

01:19:44.180 you're dividing when you are excluding people when you're denying the humanity of people you are on the

01:19:51.100 same road and once enough people are convinced of those things then the government can make the

01:25:24.480 rates now they said they weren't going to do that for at least a year they've changed their mind they

01:25:30.300 said i am we're going to do that probably really early next year that is a sign inflation is coming

01:26:25.400 19 time emmy winner john stossel hailed by the dallas morning news as the most consistently

01:26:35.040 thought-provoking tv reporter of our time and then he then he figured out that regulation causes

01:26:42.420 more problems and uh decided to report on how the government is really screwing things up and

01:26:48.840 that's when things went bad for john uh but went great for america john stossel joins us now hi john

01:26:55.260 how are you great for america wow i wish i had that much power i i think you have had a massive impact

01:27:03.700 john i think you've had a massive impact on america um you know i i've watched you for years and years

01:27:10.280 and the things that you uh you exposed i think changed a lot of people open their eyes not you know

01:27:17.680 not all of the you know party people in new york and all the people that you know are fashionable but

01:27:23.420 i think a lot of regular americans why are you suing say facebook now well i i don't like lawsuits um

01:27:32.140 but it's just unbelievable what facebook is doing now some of what we complain about

01:27:39.160 they can do legally they can take people off if they want uh they can censor subjects like whether

01:27:49.460 the virus might have been man-made in china uh that's legal but it's not legal them legal for

01:27:56.760 them to just lie about people and that's what they've done about me with the help of their fact

01:28:03.980 checker which uh they have a bunch but a big group called science feedback oh climate feedback oh

01:28:12.720 yeah that yeah and they made up a quote about me they put it in quote something i never said

01:28:21.980 and when we pointed this out to them they just don't change it and when we try to talk to facebook

01:28:28.520 they say uh-huh uh-huh well here's how our algorithm works and they don't change it and it's just a lie

01:28:35.560 and that is illegal and i thought well i should with a lawsuit teach them that they just can't do that

01:28:44.260 that's defamation so how are you planning on going up against i mean facebook has more money than god

01:28:49.600 um you have good attorneys i mean what are the chances of one guy standing up against them

01:28:57.020 that they that you win

01:28:59.040 small but the lawyers took it because in my case it wasn't just about an unfairness

01:29:08.780 it was a flat-out lie and that is defamation but you're right it's going to cost me a lot of money

01:29:16.860 and take a long time and who knows but i thought i'd try yeah well thank you for doing that um tell me a

01:29:26.680 tell me a little bit about um what your thoughts are on the virus and the vaccine and all of this

01:29:33.440 there america is so strangely split on this because it became all about politics so what are your

01:29:41.500 thoughts on that john i was listening to what you just said about that and biden on 98 that's just

01:29:49.400 not going to happen and the country is different from how it's been before just the level of hatred

01:29:57.380 on the part of people around me for anybody who listens to you listens to fox doesn't maybe doesn't

01:30:05.540 get vaccinated it's just they are in a rage what's it i mean i'm working on a video on this i release a

01:30:15.060 new video every tuesday and we're researching different countries and china and australia are

01:30:22.080 a little bit like america at its worst in terms of lockdowns but denmark just lifted all restrictions

01:30:29.540 yep belgium has just allowed people to be maskless sweden eliminated almost all restrictions

01:30:37.280 britain just got rid of its plans to create a vaccine passport so many countries are wising up

01:30:44.680 and saying look this is never going to go away uh there's always going to be some around and we

01:30:51.500 have to resume normal life and by doing that people will get covid but it doesn't kill most of them and

01:30:58.080 people will acquire natural immunity and that's the only way to move on what do you think about

01:31:04.720 how americans and the world have reacted to this i mean i remember when it was breaking out in beijing

01:31:12.400 and if you remember right there were times that they were welding people into their into their homes

01:31:17.440 they were sealing these iron doors so people couldn't leave their homes uh and i remember

01:31:22.600 saying on the air this would never have we would never put up with this kind of stuff here in america

01:31:29.440 we're two years into this and we're still putting up with it what happened to us john

01:31:34.860 we became wimps now in fairness we're not locking nailing people into their houses no and we're not

01:31:44.460 as bad even as australia which has come close to china um on the other hand those countries have

01:31:53.320 stopped deaths and some people think the only thing that matters in life is whether you die of covid

01:31:59.980 and then china and australia have winning arguments at the moment it's three deaths per million people

01:32:06.200 in china 40 in australia versus 400 in denmark and 2 000 per million in the united states so

01:32:15.920 so far they're saving lives with this repression yeah but i mean if you want to use that logic then

01:32:22.900 we should take every car off the road we should take every pool out of every backyard we should take

01:32:27.160 every steak knife out of every dishwasher very true and certainly forbid people from driving in the

01:32:34.460 rain john stossel always good to talk to you sir uh when do you go to court do you know

01:32:41.080 ah um 400 years from now that's our legal system good to talk to you john thanks a lot you too yeah

01:32:51.820 john stossel uh suing facebook um over defamation and he's absolutely right and that climate group

01:32:59.140 has been responsible for um getting us banned or having our hands slapped or whatever it actually

01:33:06.540 turned out to be remember there was something they were claiming that we said something that we never

01:33:12.380 said we never said but we quoted uh something that was accurate that came out of a a study

01:33:20.160 where in that study they said in that study this particular quote we didn't even know it was in

01:33:27.640 the study we had nothing to do with that quote um we weren't quoting it we weren't even holding up the

01:33:33.080 study we were just using that as a footnote on where we got that particular information all the

01:33:39.280 information in the study was accurate that quote is what they disagreed with and they attributed it

01:33:44.700 to us said we were we were saying that we never said that yeah the problem with a lot of these

01:33:50.520 groups is they're just sloppy let alone ideological and antagonistic to conservative values they're just

01:33:56.900 bad at their jobs too which is a pretty big problem when you're talking about the livelihood of a

01:34:03.360 business you know i mean you know john stossel you know as he said he releases a new video every

01:34:08.080 tuesday um you know like when you throw them off of uh off of these platforms how do you how do

01:34:14.080 people see them you kill them how do people see his work you don't you don't all right back in just

01:34:18.500 a minute first let me tell you about rough greens angela writes in about her dog's experience with

01:34:22.720 rough greens i ordered rough greens a few weeks ago while uh listening to glenn beck on the blaze

01:34:28.520 oh angela how sweet uh my dog if his dog loved it i'm sure mine would well not necessarily

01:34:35.960 my four-year-old miniature dachshund parker loved it right away put it in his bowl he lapped it up

01:34:42.480 much to my surprise quinn my 14 year old shepherd boxer mix was a bit more reluctant didn't seem

01:34:48.860 enthusiastic at first but i kept sprinkling it on her food every day and after a week she eagerly

01:34:54.720 awaited it in the morning now she's gobbling it down i've noticed a definite increase in energy in

01:35:00.400 both dogs thank you so much angela you are more than welcome i'm glad your dogs are loving it although

01:35:06.180 your german shepherd should be skeptical and i'm surprised that your miniature dachshund because i used

01:35:11.880 to have dachshunds and uh they eat anything uh but maybe that was just mine rough greens not a dog

01:35:19.620 food it's something that you sprinkle on the dog food and it's a supplement filled with all the

01:35:23.900 things that make your dog healthier and happier try it get a free bag of rough greens just to try out

01:35:29.440 see if your dog will eat it then order the big bag of rough greens and and put it on your dog's food

01:35:34.600 for a couple of months and just watch the difference in your dog 833 glenn 33 833 glenn 33 it's

01:35:41.220 roughgreens.com slash back 10 second station id

01:35:45.460 can we go to the uh audio um from i believe it was general austin for answering a question from

01:35:59.160 tom cotton here it is i understand that you're the principal military advisor that you advise you

01:36:04.140 don't decide the president decides but if all this is true general milley why haven't you resigned

01:36:09.820 listen to this senator as a senior military officer

01:36:16.620 um resigning is a really serious thing it's a political act if i'm resigning in protest

01:36:22.760 my job is to provide advice my statutory responsibility is to provide legal advice or best military advice to

01:36:29.000 the president and that's my legal requirement that's what the law is um the president doesn't

01:36:34.680 have to agree with that advice he doesn't have to make those decisions uh just because we're generals

01:36:39.020 and it would be an incredible act of political defiance for a commissioned officer to just resign

01:36:46.200 because my advice is not taken this country doesn't want generals figuring out what orders we are going

01:36:52.520 to accept and do or not that's not our job is that basically what he was doing is absolute it's

01:36:58.920 critical to this republic in addition to that just from a personal standpoint you know my my dad didn't

01:37:04.460 get a choice to resign at iwo jima and those kids they're at abbey gate they don't get a choice to resign

01:37:08.860 and i'm not going to turn my back on them uh i'm not going to reason they can't resign so i'm not going

01:37:13.800 to resign there's no way uh if the orders are illegal uh hold it we're in a hold it just a second

01:37:18.640 stew stew um just because the president won't listen to you doesn't mean you resign i agree with

01:37:26.040 that we don't need we don't have a country where the country doesn't want a general that resigns every

01:37:31.700 time the president disagrees with him i agree with that however when the when the president is making

01:37:38.100 decisions that put our troops and our country in danger real danger and unnecessary danger

01:37:46.620 you should resign you should go you should lay your stars down on the desk and say mr president

01:37:54.280 i can't be a part of this this is too dangerous for our troops it's not going to work out the way

01:38:01.420 you think it will and all of us have advised you of that and you continue to say that you're going

01:38:09.040 to do it well that's fine i just won't put those kids lives in jeopardy for something this foolhardy

01:38:16.600 because it won't work sir and if it does i apologize but all my experience shows no it won't

01:38:24.580 you do that for two reasons in hopes that the president would change his mind and if he doesn't

01:38:31.860 to be able to warn the people the president is is making foolhardy decisions

01:38:37.880 yeah i mean that's kind of in a way what general mattis did yes right i mean he did not agree with

01:38:46.760 what was going on and the decision making be made around syria and he decided he didn't want to be

01:38:52.560 part of it right i don't think there was a lot of criticism of mattis for doing that i mean you might

01:38:57.200 disagree with his analysis of the situation but the fact is that if he didn't want to stand by

01:39:01.920 what was going on and the decisions he didn't want to stand behind those decisions then removing

01:39:06.740 yourself is a very realistic uh idea and possibility for for a military official and again he's right

01:39:13.420 and to say that he can't if it's a legal order he does need to follow it correct or resign right

01:39:19.920 and that which also goes to then why didn't you tell the president that you were making a phone call

01:39:26.540 to china and saying hey listen he's not going to do anything and if he does i'll call you first

01:39:31.960 you work directly for the president you are the chief military advisor did you as the chief

01:39:40.340 military advisor go into the oval office and said hey china is freaking out they think you're going to

01:39:45.020 bomb them did you did you go he says he went to esper but we'll see i mean we don't we don't know

01:39:53.140 isn't his isn't he the chief advisor for the president i mean you should go to the president

01:40:03.000 that's kind of important mr president uh china thinks you're going to bomb there's i mean i know

01:40:09.600 there's no chance of you may i just call them and tell them that's not in the cards of course call them

01:40:15.960 yeah and and i think the bigger part of that call too was what you just mentioned which was

01:40:21.500 if we're going to attack you i will warn you now he could of course if he actually did that

01:40:27.420 there's no doubt it's treason if he calls up underhandedly and warns the chinese government

01:40:35.080 that we're about to attack them when we're about to attack them that's absolutely open and shut treason

01:40:40.920 now he didn't actually do it of course because we weren't going to attack china uh and so we it's

01:40:48.220 we're in hypothetical land but really the answer needs to be that he was lying to china i was telling

01:40:55.920 china whatever i felt like telling them even though obviously in that real circumstance i wouldn't call

01:41:01.620 them is the only acceptable answer there right it's the only thing like it's totally fine for one of our

01:41:07.780 people to call up and say look we're never going to spy on you when we are spying on them right that

01:41:12.480 stuff happens all the time honesty is not exactly always the hallmark of foreign affairs but actually

01:41:21.480 doing it would be i think unquestionably treason honesty i think is the hallmark you don't make

01:41:29.820 a phone call to lie to somebody but you make it you could make a phone call it look you know look

01:41:34.900 if he makes a phone call say look i'll absolutely call you if that's going to happen

01:41:38.480 now if we're actually attacking and he calls that's treason if we actually are attacking and

01:41:45.820 he doesn't call that would not be a surprise no it wouldn't be but it would be also i could see

01:41:52.740 that being something very very important for the president to know the president totally if he's

01:41:59.080 negotiating with a country he has to know what all of his people are saying yeah this is not the

01:42:06.720 congress it's not the senate these are his people it's funny you say that because a large portion

01:42:12.800 of this book peril would by bob woodward and robert costa is talking about one of the main issues they

01:42:18.240 found with the trump administration is that there were so many warring factions inside of it there

01:42:23.680 would be one group saying one thing to china and another group saying something else to china

01:42:27.720 and donald trump you know again this is their analysis of the situation was he liked some of them on

01:42:35.360 one day and he liked the other group on another day so one group would get priority they would say

01:42:39.900 something to a foreign uh country and then the next group would go in there having no idea what group

01:42:45.440 one said and disagree with them and so there was all these mixed messages and this is one of the

01:42:50.160 things they claim was frustrating to other countries we were dealing with you can go through whether you

01:42:55.140 believe that or not so they don't that's their criticism they're saying that that's a bad thing

01:42:58.980 they're saying that's a bad thing so if a president said um to a group of people that burned the country

01:43:06.440 to almost to the ground uh that that's okay and that's you know that's part of democracy

01:43:13.120 but then uh went and claimed that somebody who came in and did some damage to some windows wasn't trying

01:43:24.520 to burn it down uh and did some damage in the capital those people should be in solitary confinement

01:43:31.420 those would be mixed messages totally and that would be bad i thought that's what i was told as well

01:43:39.460 but you're right that's exactly what they did about january 6th in the call millie says to the chinese

01:43:44.660 hey i know you guys you know basically you guys got your dictatorship over there we know you would

01:43:50.640 never allow any of this stuff but when you got a democracy you have to understand these things

01:43:54.900 happen sometimes there's going to be riots at the capital that's essentially what they told what

01:43:59.820 millie told the chinese to make them calm down about january 6th you guys don't understand culturally

01:44:06.400 this isn't that abnormal but then it even says in the book but in reality general millie thought this

01:44:12.500 was the worst thing ever okay so he was lying to china twice i i and they can verify that he's a liar 0.77

01:44:19.700 now because he said it's no big deal and now you know they have tvs and satellite over there

01:44:26.280 they're gonna know now they're gonna yeah he's not gonna know that he was lying to them and that's why

01:44:31.900 i think the back and forth of this at some level is is immaterial to whether general millie should

01:44:38.380 continue in his role and the answer to that i think is absolutely he needs to leave leave he he can't

01:44:44.640 even if the best case scenario is true here that he told robert costa and bob woodward about all of

01:44:54.920 this behavior which shows him to be a liar to china only that's the worst thing he did was he's not a 0.84

01:45:01.920 reliable source to our adversaries anyone if that's true then he can't be trusted for foreign affairs

01:45:08.020 going forward correct he's either lying to china bob woodward the american people the press donald trump

01:45:14.760 or the current administration or today congress no one can rely on the guy and that guy can't be in

01:45:21.340 that role correct correct back in just a second this is the glenn back program wow did you see time 0.98

01:45:31.200 magazine last week of course you didn't know what he reads that piece of crap but they laid out the 0.93

01:45:36.200 potential death of the dollar in kind of a fascinating and terrifying piece last week 0.96

01:45:41.020 china opened up its digital currency to foreigners next year when they host the winter olympic games

01:45:46.260 they expect the whole visiting world to utilize their new digital dollar if you will china estimated to 0.76

01:45:52.340 be about 10 years ahead of the united states mark my words we're not 10 years away from digital money

01:45:57.640 when this happens this is what the article says other countries are sincerely interested in finding ways

01:46:03.840 to decrease their dependence on the dollar the u.s facing a world in which it may not control or

01:46:08.660 even the lead the world's payment systems when that happens your lifestyle is completely different

01:46:49.940 this is the glenn back program

01:47:02.680 there is uh something that's coming out of the world of science

01:47:08.420 they look like they have found physical evidence for one of the most infamous bible stories

01:47:15.540 the story of sodom and gomorrah uh they have been working on this now for about 15 years

01:47:23.320 the city of sodom is called tal el haman it's uh it was from about 3600 years ago

01:47:34.320 uh and it's right uh right at the edge it was an urban center right at the edge of the dead sea

01:47:41.520 and we know from the bible that god destroyed it with fire right just like incinerated the place 1.00

01:47:51.500 right okay well the bible is so stupid 0.99

01:47:56.000 scientists have been looking now uh at their 15 years worth of excavation 1.00

01:48:05.300 and they have found a roughly five foot thick jumbled layer of charcoal ash melted mud bricks and melted pottery

01:48:16.260 they call it the destruction layer as they've been looking into it and what caused it

01:48:22.940 they believe that it was hit by a meteor a space rock

01:48:30.040 that was coming in at 38 000 miles an hour to sodom and uh and kind of did some damage

01:48:39.700 they to to to make this ash and this destruction layer as is they knew that it had this whatever

01:48:51.700 happened was had to hit at least 3600 degrees fahrenheit

01:48:56.040 kind of hot so we know it wasn't a you know like a a candle fire right um and what they what they

01:49:03.920 believe now is that a rock exploded about 2.5 miles above ground listen to this creating a blast around

01:49:15.620 a thousand times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on hiroshima

01:49:21.000 a thousand times more powerful they say the massive shock wave would have followed moving at roughly

01:49:31.160 740 miles and 740 miles an hour faster than any tornado ever on record it would have demolished every

01:49:39.080 building and killed all inhabitants which is kind of what the bible story says

01:49:45.100 uh so that's kind of weird by the way the last thing in the story just just to make your day

01:49:55.200 make you make you feel a little better uh scientists tell us there are currently more than 26 000 near

01:50:00.720 asteroid near earth asteroids uh and 100 short period near earth comets that could cause an impact like

01:50:08.840 this on earth uh they added one will inevitably crash into the earth uh but uh don't worry about

01:50:16.740 the 26 000 because millions more remain undetected and some may be headed towards the earth right now

01:50:24.420 so oh that's good yeah what could possibly go wrong let me ask you something let me ask you something

01:50:32.000 if i gave you a choice you could live through the rest of your life

01:50:38.700 going through all the stuff that we know is coming right okay or a giant space rock could come 0.94

01:50:47.020 and blow up two and a half miles above your head and you'd be vaporized immediately

01:50:53.740 i think immediately immediately so no pain no no pain no no pain at all you're like

01:51:00.680 if you're inside maybe you hear the maybe maybe you hear the uh you know emergency broadcast system go

01:51:09.320 off maybe and it's like stations a giant space and that's all you hear and then you're all vaporized

01:51:17.240 okay uh but uh probably not going to get the ebs system you know if you're outside you might look up

01:51:24.560 and go what the hell is and then you're dead or you could live the rest of your life on the road 0.85

01:51:31.600 we're on right now because there was an interesting movement behind a presidential candidate recently 0.93

01:51:37.540 called sweet meteor of death and the idea was that kind of this like would you vote for a sweet

01:51:46.320 meteor of death just come and take us all out and take us out of our uh never-ending excruciating

01:51:51.680 pain i think i would well i don't want to speak for other people i wouldn't want to vote vote for that

01:51:56.580 because you know other people would be involved so if i choose the meteor and i knew it was coming i

01:52:04.020 would say hey by the way you should all leave the area uh maybe about 25 miles around me because it's

01:52:13.080 coming now i don't know if more people would leave or would flock to me right they'd run toward you

01:52:20.260 yeah they might run toward me there was a um in the documentary film real genius uh from 1985

01:52:25.940 there was a defense system created that would bounce lasers off of mirrors in space

01:52:35.020 and then it would come down and it could vaporize a target a human target from space and oh that's

01:52:41.800 the jewish uh that's the jewish space laser yes jewish space you know in the film they didn't talk

01:52:47.100 about it being jewish yeah well but the jewish who runs hollywood you know what i mean that's a great

01:52:52.400 point right right or maybe not yeah uh but jewish space laser so the because that's a way of doing

01:52:59.400 that instead of wiping out an entire community with a sweet meter meteor of death you could do

01:53:04.920 it in an individual laser way and just just evaporate yourself from society no i don't want to know it's

01:53:13.600 coming well let's just say well you said you were going to vote for the sweet meteor of death

01:53:18.760 oh and i said i wouldn't because then it would involve other people right so what is the solution

01:53:23.560 i'm presenting one that will not affect other people this would just be you being vaporized as you

01:53:28.740 maybe we could just give this to like amazon and so if you're ever talking and you didn't say siri 0.87

01:53:36.040 you know it's still listening to you and you'd be like man would i just love to be vaporized today

01:53:42.420 then siri could have that and they would report back to you know whomever uh probably right to

01:53:53.780 the head guy there uh and he'd say oh i got the space laser the jewish space laser

01:53:59.700 and siri would say he wants to be vaporized and then you're just vaporized

01:54:05.440 and you wouldn't simplify things would i will say it wouldn't it would it would i will say we would 0.64

01:54:12.580 avoid a lot of dumb commentary from aoc if we were hit with a space laser and didn't have to hear her 0.93

01:54:18.700 speaking that would be one positive of being hit with a jewish you know i never thought of it this 1.00

01:54:23.900 way before but maybe they're not the problem maybe me being alive and hearing it you know what the

01:54:29.360 funny thing is they have thought about that before you may not have yeah yeah but they have realized 0.93

01:54:36.720 that you are the problem damn it stew could we please talk about science for a second of course okay 0.98

01:54:41.540 let me talk about science uh this is from the scientific american the acronym jedi has become a 0.99

01:54:50.300 popular term for branding academic committees and labeling stem science technology engineering

01:54:56.320 mathematics and medicine initiatives focused on social justice issues used in this context jedi

01:55:04.560 stands for justice equity diversity and inclusion this is again from scientific

01:55:11.520 american american okay uh in recent years it has been used uh and been employed by a growing

01:55:18.920 number of prominent institutions and organizations including the national academic academies of sciences

01:55:25.160 engineering and medicine at first glance jedi might simply appear to be an elegant way to explicitly build

01:55:33.380 justice into the more common common formula of dei an abbreviation for diversity equity and inclusion

01:55:43.780 however it shares the name with super heroic protagonist of the science fiction star wars franchise wait it does

01:55:54.360 it does i had only heard it in the scientific no uh context and thus it is inappropriate

01:56:00.760 wait so dei is something that existed in science apparently diversity equity and inclusion yes yes and they have now

01:56:11.960 changed it to jedi because people will actually remember it correct justice equity diversity and inclusion and we can't

01:56:20.760 use jedi not because i thought you were gonna say it was a copyright reason no you're saying it's because why

01:56:26.620 what what well um through its connections to star wars the name jedi can inadvertently

01:56:33.980 associate our justice work with stories and stereotypes that are a galaxy far far away from the values of

01:56:40.720 justice equity diversity and inclusion so we have to ask ourselves a few questions

01:56:46.880 these connections are are they ones that we want to have

01:56:51.820 for instance the jedi are inappropriate mascots for social justice this they're 0.97

01:56:59.220 ostensibly heroes in star wars the jedi are inappropriate symbols however for justice work

01:57:05.180 they are a religious order of intergalactic intergalactic police monks prone to what can't be

01:57:14.060 real this is a real article this is a real article from scientific american

01:57:20.460 oh it only gets better from here does it

01:57:25.180 prone to white savior saviorism and toxic masculine approaches to conflict resolution princess leia was 1.00

01:57:36.220 toxic masculinity oh she's still she's in here oh good oh she's in here the jedi are also an 0.99

01:57:42.680 exclusionary cult uh membership with to which is partly predicated on the possession of heightened psychic

01:57:49.400 uh and physical abilities strikingly force wielding talents are narratively explained in star wars

01:57:57.280 they're not merely in spiritual terms also in ableist and eugenic terms these supernatural powers are

01:58:06.020 naturalized as biological hereditary attributes so it is that force potential is framed as a

01:58:11.880 dynastic property of noble bloodlines for instance the skywalker dynasty

01:58:17.480 dynasty this i'm not making this up this is i can't believe this is real look it up it's in

01:58:24.480 scientific american here here it is why the term jedi is problematic for describing programs that

01:58:32.120 promote justice equity diversity and inclusion let me take a break while you look it up verify that

01:58:38.220 it's real because it's it's it's so it gets a lot better than this it gets a lot better than this

01:58:44.140 so we'll um see look it has one two three four five different scientists weighing in on this

01:58:52.560 okay i i have it i have an announcement okay no no wait wait wait for you now can we should we

01:59:00.100 wait for you now well i i think i can at least give you this part of it i am praying now for the

01:59:05.220 sweet meteor of death he just found out that it was real i have a challenge for you it's going to

01:59:13.540 take a little bit of your time not much but a little but in the end probably going to save you

01:59:16.840 a buttload of money even better you become a jedi and you fight for the things that you

01:59:24.720 you have value in uh i want you to make the switch to patriot mobile do it today do it now so you don't

01:59:31.660 forget you'll thank me later patriot mobile the only christian conservative mobile company and it's

01:59:37.720 on the same towers as all the major carriers so you get the same great service although half the cost

01:59:43.400 patriot mobile has affordable customized customizable plans for families they donate a portion of what

01:59:50.180 they make to conservative causes unlike the big mobile companies that are donating things like

01:59:56.380 planned parenthood can we stop supporting these companies that we disagree with go with a company

02:00:02.900 that is fighting for you and your rights and will give you the same great service and at a fraction of the

02:00:09.760 cost patriot mobile.com slash back make the switch today patriot mobile.com slash back you can call

02:00:17.940 972 patriot you'll get free activation with the offer code back they have special discounts always for

02:00:24.440 veterans and first responders and for multi-line accounts so i want you to switch right now to

02:00:30.880 patriot mobile.com slash back patriot mobile.com slash back or 972 patriot the glenbeck program

02:00:40.220 i'm just reading again from scientific american why the term jedi is problematic for describing programs

02:00:52.560 that promote justice equity diversity and inclusion uh that's becoming popular to say that those

02:00:59.160 those warriors are jedis and they're saying this is really bad um very inappropriate um they're

02:01:07.400 intergalactic police monks uh and uh and and they also gaslight people by means of jedi mind tricks 0.50

02:01:17.880 i'm quoting jedis are also an exclusionary cult membership to which is partly predicated on the

02:01:25.720 possession of heightened uh psychic and physical abilities uh force sensitivity um uh and these are

02:01:33.680 not just merely spiritual terms but also biological and hereditary uh attributes the skywalker dynasty is

02:01:41.780 is is is part of that how but how could anyone write this star wars oh it took five five scientists to

02:01:50.500 write the star wars also has a problematic cultural legacy the space opera franchise has been critiqued

02:01:58.540 for trafficking in injustices such as sexism racism and ableism think for example of the so-called slave

02:02:09.100 leia costume infamous for stripping down and chaining up the movie series first leading woman 1.00

02:02:16.280 as part of an oriental or orientalist subplot i didn't know it was an orientalist subplot i had no

02:02:26.280 idea but the leia thing is presented negatively no one thinks that it's a good idea to chain people up in

02:02:33.160 the movie he's the he's the evil villain they're they're making it like an orientalist subplot so

02:02:39.600 so wait it's bad because ori oriental populations chain their women up and therefore we shouldn't 1.00

02:02:47.180 criticize oriental populations i am shocked that you would even use that word i was talking about an

02:02:53.300 orientalist subplot you're luckily you can't say it so you can't get right i'm not getting in trouble

02:02:58.460 you're not guilty i'm not guilty uh yeah i can't say it and he's just throwing around these oriental 0.98

02:03:04.520 people i don't even know what you mean stew you did just say so i guess quoting you i guess i guess

02:03:11.900 so because it is trying to make this look like something that would have happened in asia right thank

02:03:20.760 you if and that's true the problem is not that they change her up the problem is that we're criticizing

02:03:26.060 a foreign culture i think that's what it means i think we haven't even gotten to the good stuff

02:03:32.660 we'll have to start the show with this tomorrow we should but the best stuff is that yes even though

02:03:37.900 i feared in the middle of that segment you were reading from the babylon b uh this is an actual

02:03:43.840 real article from five scientists and scientific american scientific remember when they used to talk

02:03:49.800 about scientific stuff yeah and not jedi knights this is the glenn back program
