The Glenn Beck Program - 'Kowtowing To Insanity'

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

00:00:08.440 Feminists gather round, I've got great news for you.

00:00:11.500 You're not going to believe this, but while you have been fighting the patriarchy here

00:00:16.040 in the oppressive, toxic masculinity driven state of the Western world, women in Saudi

00:00:22.880 Arabia themselves have been fighting their own battle.

00:00:25.480 I mean, it's not as important as yours in this oppressive regime and hierarchy.

00:00:34.460 I don't know how you do it every day.

00:00:37.460 Anyway, you know how you've been fighting for the rights of transgender and non-binary

00:00:43.600 people to, you know, be able to mark X on their birth certificate, you know, or use the restroom

00:00:50.620 of their choice.

00:00:51.580 Well, women in Saudi Arabia have just earned the right to drive.

00:00:56.820 Well, not all of them.

00:00:58.380 That would be crazy.

00:00:59.840 Ten of them.

00:01:00.960 Ten of them did.

00:01:02.760 Ten women in Saudi Arabia can now drive.

00:01:06.760 You know, yes, there are 15 women, 15 million women in the country, but 10, not million, just

00:01:16.700 10 can now drive.

00:01:18.260 The women were only allowed to drive and have a license because they previously had a driver's

00:01:23.020 license in other countries.

00:01:24.580 You know, the evil Western patriarchal societies who gender norms are so oppressive.

00:01:30.820 Yeah.

00:01:31.080 Those countries that issued women the driver's license so they could go back to Saudi Arabia

00:01:37.880 and not drive.

00:01:39.080 Now, these 10 women, I mean, let's not be crazy.

00:01:43.260 They still have to wear, you know, full body hijabs, you know, and four of the Saudi women

00:01:49.940 rights activists are in jail for campaigning for women's rights to drive.

00:01:56.220 But hey, have you heard?

00:01:58.560 Have you heard the latest outrage on Twitter?

00:02:02.600 Oh, my gosh.

00:02:04.360 The oppressive regime just continues.

00:02:07.380 Anyway, back to these women and their right to drive in Saudi Arabia.

00:02:11.400 These 10 women do have the right to drive, but they also there.

00:02:14.520 I mean, there's got to be a guy in the car.

00:02:18.560 You know what I mean?

00:02:19.280 A, quote, male guardian has to be present, you know, as as it is in the case for all travel

00:02:27.300 and education and employment and opening a bank account and having surgery.

00:02:34.100 You know, I mean, you could have a woman like you let her have surgery, but you don't want

00:02:38.900 her to make the decision herself.

00:02:41.220 There's got to be a guy there, you know, and, you know, a woman has got to be able to show

00:02:47.220 sign permission slips if she wants to travel, you know, permission from a man that only

00:02:52.160 makes sense.

00:02:53.140 Can we please concentrate on the real oppression that is happening in the West?

00:03:01.200 Man.

00:03:02.860 By the way, in Saudi Arabia, women also need the permission oftentimes for a man or from

00:03:11.260 a man to answer the phone.

00:03:14.000 I mean, you can't answer the phone on your own, you know, they also have far fewer economic

00:03:22.180 rights.

00:03:23.020 They have no legal status.

00:03:24.560 They lack education.

00:03:25.920 They aren't allowed in sports.

00:03:27.700 There's no legal minimum age for marriage.

00:03:30.760 So, yeah, you can marry one of them.

00:03:33.960 It's seven domestic violence isn't even a thing.

00:03:37.880 Needless to say, feminists in Saudi Arabia are too worried about their lives to care about,

00:03:42.720 you know, maybe I'm another gender that doesn't exist in science, you know, is they don't

00:03:49.800 they they don't worry about that because, well, there's not a man there that will agree with

00:03:56.140 him.

00:03:56.400 Can you imagine?

00:04:03.820 Can you imagine how the campus feminists would react if they face this kind of terror?

00:04:11.540 Now, let me reverse that.

00:04:13.040 Who cares?

00:04:13.840 Who cares?

00:04:14.660 There's such frauds.

00:04:16.340 There's there.

00:04:16.980 You know, every person in America, both left and right, need to hear this one message.

00:04:24.100 Grow up.

00:04:26.060 Grow up.

00:04:28.440 Are you kidding me?

00:04:30.540 Oh, I'm so outraged by shut up.

00:04:34.280 In New York, they just they just allowed people now to put an X instead of male or female under

00:04:44.100 gender, you can just put an X because you're not going to oppress your child.

00:04:50.820 And the mayor said, well, that's going to make us more equal.

00:04:54.840 No, that's going to make us more stupid and more crying about my parents oppressed me.

00:05:02.600 Shut up.

00:05:04.760 You want to know what oppression is?

00:05:07.040 Saudi Arabia.

00:05:07.900 Don't think about, oh, what would the people in the campus do if they had to live just a

00:05:13.140 little bit of the life of Saudi Arabia?

00:05:15.640 Forget about that.

00:05:16.780 Do you know, feminists, how ridiculous you look?

00:05:21.800 What an insult you are as you stand up for the rights of women against this aggressive regime

00:05:30.620 here in the West while you're standing with people who are who are with Louis Farrakhan,

00:05:39.580 the Nation of Islam, the the Muslim Brotherhood, the free Palestine people.

00:05:47.460 You've got to be kidding me, right?

00:05:49.360 Do you know what a joke, what a terror you are to the actual feminists who are actually fighting

00:05:59.100 for real freedom in most of the world?

00:06:06.200 Did I say, by the way, all those people should shut up, grow a spine, grow up.

00:06:14.500 It's Tuesday, June 5th.

00:06:16.420 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:06:18.100 Hello, Stu.

00:06:19.480 How are you?

00:06:21.520 Better than you, apparently.

00:06:22.840 No, I'm in a good mood.

00:06:23.840 You're a little fired up today.

00:06:24.740 No, I'm in a good mood.

00:06:25.900 I just I you know, when I see these 15 million women in Saudi Arabia and the God only knows

00:06:33.940 how many homosexuals in the Middle East that are, you know, terrified, crucified, beaten

00:06:39.680 to death, thrown off of buildings.

00:06:41.600 I think of the civil rights leaders here in America, and I think they are fine, fine people.

00:06:48.100 Who really have perspective.

00:06:50.820 Oh, really?

00:06:51.360 Yeah, you are.

00:06:52.300 That's what I'm thinking.

00:06:53.400 That's interesting.

00:06:54.160 That's what I'm thinking.

00:06:55.000 Well, I'm glad you've hit on the the minor details of the Me Too movement.

00:07:01.100 The minor, minor details, because these aren't the important issues.

00:07:04.160 The important issues are happening here in America.

00:07:06.360 For women are really targeted.

00:07:09.120 Yeah, I know.

00:07:10.200 We're talking about all sorts of vicious treatment.

00:07:13.420 Horrible.

00:07:14.300 Horrible.

00:07:14.960 And, you know, like I it's funny you bring that up because it's good perspective as we

00:07:19.740 go into this conversation about Bill Clinton.

00:07:22.360 Now, Clinton, I want to get to this in a second.

00:07:24.780 This whole situation with his interviews, which are really going off the off the rails.

00:07:30.520 You know why?

00:07:32.120 He's no longer list.

00:07:34.120 Yeah.

00:07:34.240 Oh, my gosh.

00:07:35.020 I watched.

00:07:35.840 Can I sidebar your honor for just a second?

00:07:38.400 I I watched the Soviet story last night.

00:07:41.720 Oh, great.

00:07:42.580 Which is debuting on the blaze when coming up in the blaze in a couple of weeks.

00:07:47.160 I think a couple of weeks.

00:07:47.860 It's unbelievable.

00:07:49.840 It is just unbelievable.

00:07:52.580 So I'm watching that last night.

00:07:55.200 And now I can't remember why I told you that.

00:07:58.580 What were we talking about?

00:07:59.720 About the Me Too movement.

00:08:01.140 And I had a really good one.

00:08:04.420 He's no longer useful.

00:08:05.120 Oh, yeah.

00:08:05.420 He's no longer useful.

00:08:06.720 OK, so here's the thing.

00:08:09.240 How do how do these, quote, revolutionaries, these these Marxist not know enough about their

00:08:17.700 own history every single time that it gets to a point to where you've outlived your usefulness

00:08:25.920 and they kill you now here in America?

00:08:29.340 They're not killing anyone yet, but they are destroying the Clintons.

00:08:36.160 Why?

00:08:37.120 Because they don't have any power.

00:08:38.540 They didn't like them any anyway.

00:08:40.600 By the end, by the by the by 2005, they had had enough, but they just put up with her

00:08:48.140 because she could maybe get into power.

00:08:50.740 They look to the other way the whole time.

00:08:53.400 Now she lost against Donald Trump.

00:08:57.520 They have no power.

00:08:58.660 They're pissed.

00:08:59.400 And they are going to destroy destroy them now.

00:09:04.060 Yeah.

00:09:04.400 And I put the date a little bit later, probably when she leaves the Obama administration.

00:09:08.060 Right.

00:09:08.520 Like she's secretary of state.

00:09:09.680 She's still very popular.

00:09:10.900 They know that she's potentially the heir apparent.

00:09:13.080 They start to lose favor with her after that, when all the scandal starts happening.

00:09:16.700 And then as she goes into the presidency, they stick by her because they want her to to assume

00:09:22.240 the presidency rather than just run for it.

00:09:24.580 And but now they're done with the family.

00:09:26.680 They are done.

00:09:28.400 I mean, and and and this gets let me give you an example of it.

00:09:31.880 Yeah, Bill Clinton is currently being hammered in a Me Too fashion over the Monica Lewinsky

00:09:38.820 thing.

00:09:39.280 OK, and there is a lot to go through on this.

00:09:43.200 And the fact check of his interview about it is absolutely amazing for The Washington

00:09:48.140 Post.

00:09:48.740 Now, wait, hold it just a second.

00:09:50.140 Wait, a fact check?

00:09:51.880 Yes.

00:09:52.660 On Bill Clinton about the Lewinsky scandal?

00:09:56.360 Yeah.

00:09:56.640 And more than that, they just absolutely obliterate him.

00:10:00.100 They categorize it as fact checking Bill Clinton's meltdown on NBC's Today Show.

00:10:07.700 Meltdown?

00:10:09.000 Like, I mean, like, I'm fine with that categorization, but The Washington Post is, too?

00:10:15.640 We're on the same page?

00:10:16.600 So wait until you see how many Pinocchios The Washington Post and what they're saying.

00:10:21.440 They are they are suddenly conservatives.

00:10:25.880 It's amazing.

00:10:26.420 All the points you heard in the 90s on like Rush Limbaugh show have been now parroted by

00:10:31.060 The Washington Post as check as fact as fact.

00:10:36.500 And the reason why you shouldn't believe him on anything.

00:10:40.040 It's incredible.

00:10:41.040 We'll get to it here in just a second.

00:10:42.680 First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

00:10:49.440 We so want to thank LifeLock for their sponsorship and bringing this program to you and making

00:10:54.880 it possible.

00:10:55.640 The FBI released a report citing Internet crime complaints with losses over $1.4 billion.

00:11:01.380 $300,000, 300,000 complaints received by the Internet Crime Compliance Center in 2017.

00:11:08.380 Two top crimes that were reported, non-payment, non-delivery, and personal data breaches.

00:11:13.200 Now, non-payment, non-delivery, I am, I am a, I am a, I'm Anastasia.

00:11:22.480 And if I could just get back into my country of Russia, I'll send you a whole bunch of money

00:11:28.260 for a hamburger today.

00:11:29.760 The other one, 2,000 complaints were identified as ransomware.

00:11:36.240 That one's really bad.

00:11:38.060 That one is, uh, by the way, uh, I've got what was on your computer.

00:11:43.820 Woo.

00:11:45.460 Either people don't want to see what I've seen or, yeah, I know it's really important, but,

00:11:52.660 uh, you're going to have to pay me to get it back.

00:11:54.520 There were so many threats in today's digital world that LifeLock identity theft protection

00:11:59.260 now includes the power of Norton security for added protection.

00:12:04.080 LifeLock uses proprietary technology to help protect you against identity theft, like your

00:12:08.820 information being sold on the dark web.

00:12:10.980 And Norton protects against online threats like ransomware.

00:12:14.640 So if you, if you, uh, don't have time to be your own policeman, which none of us do, they

00:12:20.800 are the policemen.

00:12:21.740 And if you have a problem, they have the agents that work to fix it.

00:12:25.000 That's the real problem.

00:12:26.800 Nobody can stop all cyber threats, prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions

00:12:30.340 at all businesses.

00:12:30.980 But now LifeLock with Norton security, they are uncovered, they're, uh, they are able

00:12:35.720 to uncover the threats that you might otherwise miss.

00:12:39.240 So go to LifeLock.com, use the promo code back 1-800-LIFELOCK, 1-800-LIFELOCK or LifeLock.com.

00:12:58.260 Welcome to the program.

00:13:03.780 Glad you're here.

00:13:05.200 Saw a drift last night.

00:13:06.660 We'll talk about that coming up in a little while.

00:13:08.720 Um, but, uh, we're just talking about the press and how they've now turned on, uh, Bill

00:13:16.160 and Hillary Clinton.

00:13:17.400 And it was an ugly weekend for, uh, Bill Clinton, poor James Patterson.

00:13:23.240 He's doing an interview on NBC with Bill Clinton.

00:13:27.200 And they're like, yeah, yeah, we'll talk about the book.

00:13:29.080 So Bill, you're a rapist and just go after him.

00:13:34.640 And now here's, what's remarkable.

00:13:38.320 It was NBC that went after him and the Washington post has now done a fact check on Bill Clinton's

00:13:49.000 claims about, well, look, I didn't know this is not the story and they are ripping him

00:13:55.280 apart, right?

00:13:56.040 A fact checking Bill Clinton's meltdown on NBC's today show.

00:13:59.700 Now this is not the fact check.

00:14:00.760 This is just the preamble to the fact check.

00:14:03.660 Uh, the former president responded with a defense that stressed how much he had done for women

00:14:08.560 as a politician to a considerable extent that is besides the point in today's context, as

00:14:13.660 we've seen with Eric Schneiderman, et cetera.

00:14:15.920 We are not going to fact check the entire statement again, like I'm not going to

00:14:19.000 This is still a preamble.

00:14:20.580 They're telling you what they're not doing.

00:14:22.120 They're not going to fact check claims like, you know, this one.

00:14:24.560 Clinton later in the interview admitted that he had not personally apologized to Lewinsky,

00:14:28.360 uh, the intern who he had an affair with.

00:14:30.140 He had simply apologized in general, which is not what the interviewer and originally

00:14:33.720 asked.

00:14:34.400 Okay.

00:14:34.640 This is never do they get that specific.

00:14:36.720 Never.

00:14:37.200 Never.

00:14:37.800 This is how they treat anybody.

00:14:39.340 This is how they treat people like Rick Santorum when they say something on there.

00:14:42.140 People they absolutely hate.

00:14:43.920 Yes.

00:14:44.160 Um, we were amused that Clinton slipped the phrase for the percentage in the bar when he

00:14:49.420 bragged about women were overrepresented in his office when he was a G from 1977 to 1979.

00:14:54.260 It was actually a low bar between 1918 and 1970, 1918 and 1970.

00:15:00.960 Only 164 women gained access to law, uh, Arkansas law licenses.

00:15:05.680 Only 22% of law licenses were held by women in 1998, two decades after Clinton was a G.

00:15:10.800 That's not them fact checking that as they say, two of his statements stand out as worthy

00:15:17.240 of deeper fact checking.

00:15:18.740 Right.

00:15:19.180 So that's not what they're, that's just like, Hey, we're not going to deal with that.

00:15:22.300 We're not going to deal with that now.

00:15:23.480 Here's all of his lies, but let's get to a couple of other ones.

00:15:27.460 I left the white house, $16 million in debt.

00:15:30.200 This is a curious claim.

00:15:31.880 This one drives me nuts.

00:15:33.080 And everyone knows this is a lie.

00:15:34.700 In 2014, after Clinton was criticized Hillary, um, for saying the couple was dead broke when they

00:15:39.980 left the white house, former president had a much lower number.

00:15:42.200 It's factually true that we were several million dollars in debt.

00:15:45.960 Senate financial disclosures show broad ranges, uh, from like, for example, 1 million to 5

00:15:51.600 million, but the highest possible assets added up to 1.8 million while the lowest possible

00:15:56.380 debts were 2.3 million.

00:15:58.300 That works out to $500,000 in negative net worth.

00:16:01.980 The form shows that the Clintons owed one to $5 million to two law firms.

00:16:06.540 So legal debts to the two firms could have been as low as 2 million or as high as 10

00:16:11.860 million on the high end.

00:16:13.520 The couple's net worth would have been a negative 9.8 million at the time, but it appears unlikely.

00:16:19.060 Listen to this.

00:16:20.460 The dictionary definition of several is quote more than two, but not many.

00:16:29.440 You know, here is what, here is what Bill Clinton should hear and Hillary Clinton should hear

00:16:34.060 now.

00:16:34.500 Every time the media approaches, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, run.

00:16:42.080 I mean, they are just, you are the, you are going to be taken because they can't stand Donald

00:16:48.620 Trump, but they blame her and him for Donald Trump.

00:16:52.720 So like, it's like the cause of their agitation is this couple, you know, let me just say it

00:16:58.700 is wrong for me to feel such glee, but that's okay.

00:17:03.480 Yeah, true.

00:17:04.500 I'm okay with that.

00:17:06.280 Uh, the, the definition of several is more.

00:17:09.540 Remember, this is, this is in a media, uh, as Jenna speaking as a whole, the media defended

00:17:15.960 him on things like the definition of the word is now they're hitting him with the definition

00:17:20.300 of the word several, right?

00:17:22.200 Right.

00:17:23.000 Uh, what is it?

00:17:23.680 The midpoint of these two options is four or 5 million.

00:17:26.560 The disclosure forms do not require the listing of homes used for, listen to the depth they're

00:17:30.260 going to, to get to this number.

00:17:31.240 The homes used for personal use and the Clintons had to, well, $1.7 million five bedroom home

00:17:36.120 in Chappaqua and a 2.85 million five bedroom room in the district.

00:17:39.820 The first one was bought in 1999 with a big loan by their pal and later Virginia governor,

00:17:44.700 Terry McAuliffe at this, the way they're talking about this is bizarre.

00:17:48.580 And by the way, their pal, Terry McAuliffe is turning on them now too.

00:17:52.860 Ooh.

00:17:53.780 Uh, Clinton's put $855,000 of equity into the second one.

00:17:57.400 If Clinton was adding all of his mortgages to his overall debt, it still would not add

00:18:01.560 up to 16 million.

00:18:02.500 And it hardly seems kosher to count such fat, fancy lodgings.

00:18:06.440 Oh my gosh.

00:18:07.860 Hillary Clinton.

00:18:08.560 In any case, Hillary Clinton had already signed an $8 million book deal by the time the couple

00:18:12.080 left the white house, which is true.

00:18:13.560 Bill Clinton was set to hit the lecture circuit or earning more than $125,000 per speech.

00:18:19.680 Um, Clinton's 2001 tax returns show that they, oh, they earned $16 million in income that

00:18:25.720 year.

00:18:26.080 Oh my gosh.

00:18:27.100 Maybe that's the 16 million Clinton had in mind.

00:18:30.460 That's how they, that is, that this is not the Washington post.

00:18:34.560 Amazing.

00:18:34.820 This is the, this is Fox news.

00:18:38.460 That is what Fox news said in 2000.

00:18:43.160 That's what all of us said in 2000.

00:18:45.080 We were all like, guys, that's not, no, that's not possible.

00:18:48.540 He's not in debt.

00:18:50.280 They have a great job.

00:18:51.840 It's the same argument.

00:18:53.020 The government gives us, you know, debt's not a bad thing if you've got enough money to

00:18:58.040 pay for it.

00:18:59.220 So please give it a rest.

00:19:01.700 No, they've never accept that.

00:19:05.040 Now, 18 years later, because they're done with them, they're given, they're making the

00:19:12.580 same argument.

00:19:13.360 And then they go into the Paula Jones case.

00:19:16.540 Listen to this.

00:19:17.180 This'll drive you out of your mind.

00:19:18.820 Clinton claims.

00:19:19.640 I had a sexual harassment policy when I was governor in the eighties.

00:19:22.440 The document actually came up in the Paula Jones lawsuit against Clinton for yes, sexual

00:19:27.580 harassment.

00:19:29.120 Again, it's just total disrespect to these people.

00:19:31.700 And, you know, he deserves total disrespect.

00:19:34.400 There's no doubt about it.

00:19:35.160 But where has this been?

00:19:36.260 Right.

00:19:36.400 And it doesn't feel good.

00:19:37.960 It doesn't feel good to me that, you know, somebody is destroyed.

00:19:41.300 It feels good to me that finally the press is holding these people who have gotten away

00:19:47.940 with rape, with rape, with rape and theft for so long.

00:19:53.700 It feels good that the day of justice is finally coming.

00:19:58.340 And man, wait until you hear the rest.

00:20:00.980 It's coming for the Clintons.

00:20:02.460 There is occasion where you enter into the restaurant and we dim the lights just a little bit.

00:20:18.420 And we say, oh, tonight, tonight you are going to have a five-star meal.

00:20:23.360 Well, we have got the chef that is preparing something just unbelievable for your consumption

00:20:32.000 and enjoyment.

00:20:33.900 Uh, today's one of those days.

00:20:35.960 Welcome to the cafe.

00:20:37.700 Today, good eating today on the menu.

00:20:40.500 We are eating the career of Donald.

00:20:43.840 I'm sorry, of Bill Clinton.

00:20:46.180 Uh, and Bill Clinton's career is being served up by the Washington Post and the media.

00:20:55.240 Fact checking Bill Clinton's meltdown on NBC's Today Show.

00:20:58.960 So we went through the, the overall debt situation, which they, with, with a CPA, uh, acuity, they

00:21:06.600 go through.

00:21:06.980 No, no, no.

00:21:07.460 And a dictionary.

00:21:09.060 Yeah.

00:21:09.520 And a dictionary.

00:21:09.960 They define the word several in there to make sure you understand that he was lying

00:21:14.200 about saying $16 million in debt.

00:21:17.000 But then they go on to, I had a sexual harassment policy when I was governor in the 80s.

00:21:22.060 The document actually came up in the Paula Jones lawsuit.

00:21:25.340 Now, again, for a Clinton in the past, they would, why would they bring that up when it

00:21:30.700 came, when the document came up?

00:21:32.600 They would just, if they wanted to fact check this, they could just go look at the document

00:21:35.480 or they could learn what they know about the document.

00:21:38.280 Instead, they bring up the Paula Jones lawsuit, which is not necessary here, though they do

00:21:43.400 refer to it a little bit.

00:21:45.420 Um, the document actually came up in the Paula Jones lawsuit against Clinton for, yes, sexual

00:21:51.420 harassment.

00:21:51.980 The document is listed as a deposition exhibit number five in exchange for Clinton's, uh,

00:21:58.120 in this exchange from Clinton's deposition.

00:22:00.260 This is January 17th, 1998.

00:22:01.840 The question, uh, is this copy of the sexual harassment policy that you signed when you

00:22:05.520 were governor of the state of Arkansas?

00:22:06.920 Uh, Clinton answers.

00:22:08.300 Yes, I signed it in 1987.

00:22:09.620 I'm fairly sure that I was.

00:22:11.120 We were the first or one of the very first states to actually have a clearly defined sexual

00:22:14.960 harassment policy.

00:22:15.800 Now, Clinton's been using this excuse since 1998.

00:22:18.300 Uh, the lawyer, uh, asks, Mr. President, the criteria here under Roman numeral three were

00:22:26.380 actually federal guidelines that you were adopting as the policy in the state, correct?

00:22:32.800 Clinton answers.

00:22:33.780 Yes.

00:22:35.080 Okay.

00:22:35.260 So basically he, it's a law, it's already a law.

00:22:37.720 He's just taking the law that already exists federally and making it his policy as he has

00:22:41.800 to about it, right?

00:22:42.540 He has to, it's a federal mandate, right?

00:22:44.660 Uh, the Washington post says, yikes, quite a burn by the lawyer.

00:22:49.980 Now this burn, so, you know, this burn was 20 years ago, 20 years ago.

00:22:57.260 In other words, Clinton is bragging today about a state policy that merely implemented new federal

00:23:01.140 guidelines.

00:23:01.680 Now, why could he get away for saying the same thing that he said 20 years ago?

00:23:05.980 How could he, how could he use that same worthless claim on NBC today?

00:23:13.200 Because no one has ever said in the mainstream media, you know, that's a lie.

00:23:18.780 That's just, it's a lie.

00:23:20.280 They go on to say that it was actually one of the bottom 12, uh, by women's rights organizations

00:23:26.080 and as far as worst places to live for any woman concerned with equal rights under the

00:23:30.620 law.

00:23:30.840 So it also, uh, talk, this is, and then again, they could have ended it there, right?

00:23:36.560 It's also worth recalling the allegations made by Jones that led to her sexual harassment

00:23:41.060 lawsuit in federal court.

00:23:42.740 1991, while Jones, think of this as, if this is how you've heard this story, because all

00:23:47.860 I've heard is she's nuts and just wanted money, right?

00:23:50.400 That was the, that was the narrative for two decades.

00:23:53.580 Paula Jones had nothing to it.

00:23:55.520 Here's the narrative now that they're no longer useful.

00:23:57.880 In 1991, while Jones was working at a state sponsored conference, a state trooper asked

00:24:02.180 her to meet with Clinton in his hotel room.

00:24:05.080 When she arrived, she says, Clinton tried to kiss her and then dropped his pants and underwear

00:24:09.420 and asked her to kiss it.

00:24:12.700 She refused and quickly left the hotel room.

00:24:15.620 Her account was backed up by people who said she told them at the time about the alleged

00:24:20.160 encounter.

00:24:21.720 Pamela Blackard, a state employee sitting at the registration desk with Jones said she noticed

00:24:27.780 she noticed Clinton staring intently at Jones and witnessed a state trooper asking Jones

00:24:33.220 to go to Clinton's hotel room.

00:24:35.420 She recalled that 10 minutes later, Jones returned shaking and she told Blackard in detail about

00:24:41.360 Clinton's actions.

00:24:43.000 Blackard told her to tell no one as she was afraid they would lose their jobs.

00:24:47.820 Ultimately, the Jones case.

00:24:49.680 Listen to the reasoning here.

00:24:51.200 Listen to the reasoning.

00:24:52.020 After everything we've gone through the past six months, a year, listen to the reasoning.

00:24:56.000 Ultimately, the Jones case was dismissed by a federal judge who ruled not that Jones was

00:25:01.580 lying, not that Clinton was telling the truth, who ruled that even if her allegations were

00:25:07.220 true, such boorish and offensive behavior would not be severe enough to constitute sexual

00:25:13.220 harassment under the law.

00:25:14.860 That ruling was under appeal when Clinton in 1988 settled for $850,000 with no apology or

00:25:22.400 admission of guilt.

00:25:23.200 In both cases, Clinton skirts close to four Pinocchios, says the Washington Post.

00:25:28.180 He did have large legal debts, but $16 million is clearly wrong.

00:25:30.980 In any case, he and his wife were able to quickly dig themselves out of that hole.

00:25:34.080 As for the sexual harassment policy, he was simply implementing federal guidelines, an odd

00:25:38.340 thing to brag about given the circumstances.

00:25:40.780 Okay, so the circumstance was, let's just use Paula Jones here.

00:25:44.420 I, I, I was curious when I read, when I read this, you know, that's interesting coming from

00:25:50.580 the Washington Post, you know, when did they change their view?

00:25:55.020 And then I remembered, wait a minute, in 2016, Donald Trump brought Kathleen Willey, who was

00:26:05.020 absolutely raped by Bill Clinton, uh, in my opinion, looking at what Kathleen, you remember

00:26:11.860 her?

00:26:12.740 Yeah.

00:26:13.280 She's the one who's just, I'm having a rock solid, credible woman who said he came into

00:26:19.180 her hotel room.

00:26:20.440 She was asking for help.

00:26:21.860 He threw her down on the bed, bitter lip, raped her and then said, Hey, you were great.

00:26:27.760 I'm having a difficult time sorting through the rape victims of this particular person,

00:26:32.760 but yes, uh, I think I do remember.

00:26:34.840 Yes.

00:26:35.220 So what, remember they were brought in during the debate to unsettle Hillary Clinton.

00:26:41.620 What did the press do?

00:26:43.560 Nothing.

00:26:44.180 They didn't talk about those guys.

00:26:45.840 They never talked about those guys.

00:26:47.180 It was just a stunt.

00:26:47.940 In fact, what did the Washington Post say in 2016 when Clinton was confronting serious

00:26:56.940 accusations of abuse?

00:26:58.140 The country had a different attitude towards women.

00:27:00.700 They came forward with unverified and often unverifiable accounts of sexual abuse.

00:27:06.640 They were dismissed, blah, blah, blah.

00:27:09.000 Um, they lacked witnesses, evidence and immediate reporting to the authorities.

00:27:12.780 Whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:27:14.100 They're, they talk about the witness.

00:27:16.800 What?

00:27:17.240 No.

00:27:17.700 Specifically about the witness.

00:27:18.820 No, they lacked witnesses, evidence and immediate reporting to authorities.

00:27:21.820 And immediate reporting, not to authorities, but to this person.

00:27:24.560 I mean, they have the witness and there was immediate reporting right after.

00:27:27.700 No, no, no, no.

00:27:28.660 In 2016, the Washington Post, I don't know what your source is, but the Washington Post

00:27:33.580 said.

00:27:34.240 2018 Washington Post.

00:27:35.780 No, but this 20, this came first.

00:27:37.240 Always what comes first is always better.

00:27:38.980 That's a knockoff.

00:27:40.000 Oh, this is watch.

00:27:40.880 This is, this is like the Washington Post classic.

00:27:43.780 Okay.

00:27:44.740 So Paula Jones says that while working as a $6 and 35 cent an hour, Arkansas state employee,

00:27:52.040 she would summon to the hotel room of Clinton and the governor.

00:27:55.220 Look, look, why would you point out her, her, how much money she makes per hour?

00:28:00.900 That it's just no way a $6 an hour employee is going to be called up by the governor.

00:28:07.200 She's a stupid, stupid, ignorant trailer trap.

00:28:11.220 And if she is, she's got to know what's going to happen, right?

00:28:13.940 She's going up.

00:28:14.660 She's going up for money.

00:28:15.820 Yeah.

00:28:16.080 The $6 and 35 cents an hour.

00:28:18.580 I mean, she knows what she's going up there for, and all of a sudden now she has a problem

00:28:22.800 with it.

00:28:23.060 I mean, that is a, there's no reason to include that detail there.

00:28:26.240 No, but they did.

00:28:27.760 The Washington Post did in 2016.

00:28:30.400 She had hoped that she could discuss a promotion, but instead she said he grabbed her.

00:28:36.820 The Clinton defense strategy centered on blatantly misogynistic practices that they give them

00:28:45.600 quotas for that, uh, the progressive feminists, traditionally liberal late night comics did

00:28:50.920 their part to discredit and ridicule the women.

00:28:53.780 Um, but in an act of proto revenge, an, an ex boyfriend of Jones sold private sexual photographs

00:29:01.380 of her to penthouse a few months after her claim became public.

00:29:04.580 She immediately was a fodder for harsh jokes, many focusing on her appearance.

00:29:08.820 Several years later, she capitalized on her notoriety by posing nude for the magazine, further marginalizing

00:29:15.720 herself.

00:29:16.840 Well, wait a minute.

00:29:17.960 Well, you're now marginalized when you, when you take a, uh, a brave step.

00:29:23.760 Uh, I mean, how many times have we heard that sex work shouldn't be demeaned, right?

00:29:29.120 Uh, the fact that she, again, what was the first circumstance of those pictures?

00:29:32.560 Private photos.

00:29:33.620 Yes.

00:29:34.320 Private photos of the boyfriend.

00:29:35.840 So revenge porn.

00:29:36.900 Yes.

00:29:37.140 Yes.

00:29:37.540 Yes.

00:29:38.560 But that's now okay too.

00:29:39.860 It's in another justification to say that she's not, her claims aren't credible.

00:29:43.560 She was just going after money and that it was a revenge porn and then she had discredited

00:29:48.180 herself.

00:29:48.820 And so she had to make that money.

00:29:50.660 So she went and did penthouse, which only made things worse.

00:29:53.320 This is, look, I'm glad the Washington post is telling the truth about this.

00:29:57.820 Woke.

00:29:58.540 I'm glad they have now woken up.

00:30:01.160 Uh, and I'm glad, I think the kids nowadays just say, well, I'm glad they're woke.

00:30:05.480 I'm glad they woke.

00:30:07.580 My issue here is this is a, a lot of times, and I feel like I defend the media sometimes.

00:30:14.660 I mean, I think the idea that everything that's printed in the Washington post and the New York

00:30:18.700 Times is fake news is nonsense.

00:30:19.820 It's not, they do a lot of really good reporting, right?

00:30:22.500 But sometimes they get, sometimes they do both on the same story.

00:30:25.640 Yeah.

00:30:25.920 But the issue is they get so frustrated and so they're so apoplectic about conservatives

00:30:33.760 pointing out how frustrating, uh, their coverage is.

00:30:38.260 They get so upset about it.

00:30:40.580 And it's like, how can you look at stuff like this and not see that there is a double standard?

00:30:45.560 There does seem to be a massive agenda.

00:30:49.140 No, no, Stu.

00:30:51.380 I don't know.

00:30:52.220 No, I don't know.

00:30:53.200 Glenn.

00:30:53.500 No, no.

00:30:54.920 No, if I may loosely quote the Washington post in their defense, it was a different time.

00:31:04.400 It was a different time.

00:31:05.640 2016 was a different time.

00:31:07.400 It was a different time.

00:31:08.560 No, in 2016, they were saying that it was a different time.

00:31:12.580 Yes, we, we didn't pay attention to those things and who knows about the past, but now

00:31:17.900 it's different.

00:31:19.140 Now it's different.

00:31:20.360 Now we are, now we know back then women were seen as, you know, uh, people that would just

00:31:30.240 make up stories of sexual harassment for, for cash.

00:31:33.080 Ah, and now, and now something else.

00:31:35.980 Now they're not.

00:31:37.040 Now we don't think that some of these stories are made up for cash.

00:31:42.220 I mean, I mean, I mean, clearly they are because it still happens.

00:31:46.980 Some are, some are not, some are, some are not.

00:31:49.620 Can I ask you because you brought this up, how our standards change and you brought up

00:31:54.180 the term woke.

00:31:55.180 So let me, let me ask a question because you're obviously an expert on being woke.

00:31:58.960 Oh, I am Glenn Beck woke.

00:32:00.340 Yeah.

00:32:00.560 Woke Glenn Beck.

00:32:01.440 Yeah.

00:32:01.680 Um, is it woke, is it woke to do what we're doing now, which is to claim that Monica Lewinsky

00:32:13.880 was a victim of something.

00:32:17.400 Now I feel personally bad for Monica Lewinsky because of, after she made, I think a big mistake,

00:32:25.500 she really paid a high price for probably, probably disproportional, right?

00:32:30.980 Like way higher than anyone should ever have to pay.

00:32:34.100 So I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm with you on that, but this is a 23 year old woman, not a 15 year

00:32:40.900 old woman, a 23 year old woman, our own Marissa, who is our producer here is 25 and also married.

00:32:48.080 How many people are married?

00:32:49.880 My mom gave birth to me married at 19.

00:32:54.740 The idea that Monica Lewinsky doesn't have the agency to make her own choices about her

00:33:01.120 own sex life is not a woke sentiment.

00:33:05.320 No, Stu.

00:33:06.460 No, no.

00:33:07.580 Women are, you don't understand.

00:33:09.180 Women are powerful.

00:33:11.000 Okay.

00:33:11.880 Yes.

00:33:12.480 I would agree with that.

00:33:14.540 But you don't understand.

00:33:16.540 I don't.

00:33:17.320 He was a powerful man preying on a young woman.

00:33:21.760 And what was her choice there?

00:33:23.220 Did she have a choice to say, yes, I would like to enter.

00:33:26.420 What was by all accounts, a consensual sexual affair was the argument by all of the feminists

00:33:33.580 at the time.

00:33:34.700 Yes.

00:33:35.300 Now, all of the feminists of this time have convinced Monica Lewinsky that she really didn't

00:33:40.680 have a choice.

00:33:41.420 And that's what she's saying now.

00:33:43.040 She's saying I was, you know, look, I didn't understand the power structure was different.

00:33:46.820 Look, yes, he's the most powerful man in the world, right?

00:33:50.000 I mean, you know, yeah, he was very powerful.

00:33:52.080 However, each individual has agency to make choices about consensual affairs.

00:33:56.420 They don't have agency to make choices against Harvey Weinstein, who's forcing them to have

00:34:00.440 sex with them and trapping them and raping them.

00:34:03.220 They don't have choices there.

00:34:04.220 But they do have choices to enter into a consensual affair with another consenting adult.

00:34:10.680 The arguments that she was this little girl with no agency were arguments that conservatives

00:34:17.080 made in the 90s to say Bill Clinton was a predator.

00:34:21.860 However, we should all, and I said this at the time as well, when you're 23 years old,

00:34:27.200 you have a choice to be able to enter into a consensual relationship with someone else

00:34:31.800 if you wish.

00:34:32.540 You are a consenting adult.

00:34:34.980 Okay, Grandpa, thank you very much for that cute little opinion.

00:34:39.040 Look, 16 years old, you should be able to vote.

00:34:43.320 But at 23, if you get into a consensual relationship, you have every right to claim to be a victim

00:34:50.900 later in life.

00:34:52.900 I mean, it only makes sense.

00:34:54.300 It only makes sense.

00:34:56.580 All right.

00:34:58.580 Don't ask anyone to explain it.

00:35:00.600 Okay.

00:35:00.920 Okay.

00:35:01.480 Because you're obviously not woke enough to understand.

00:35:04.580 Okay.

00:35:05.620 Plans of a summer getaway.

00:35:07.680 They can quickly take a backseat if your car breaks down and you get hit with a huge auto

00:35:14.220 repair bill.

00:35:15.440 Have you ever...

00:35:16.860 Summertime's...

00:35:18.000 I remember I was dumb enough to buy a...

00:35:24.440 I mean, I just bought lemon after lemon after lemon when I was a kid.

00:35:28.120 Wow.

00:35:28.660 Kid.

00:35:28.960 23 years old.

00:35:31.360 But...

00:35:31.880 Look at the decisions you're making at 23.

00:35:33.640 I know.

00:35:34.140 I bought a DeLorean.

00:35:35.140 Yeah.

00:35:35.460 And I remember at this time of the year, that thing would literally drive about four blocks

00:35:40.440 and overheat.

00:35:41.160 It was awful.

00:35:42.960 Awful.

00:35:43.440 It was always on the side of the road.

00:35:44.560 And every time...

00:35:46.480 Ryan, I know what it feels like when that check engine light goes on or you see something

00:36:24.320 So excited.

00:36:25.620 Coming up in just a second, we're going to tell you about the new psychopath AI that

00:36:32.920 researchers at MIT decided that, you know, I wonder if we could make a computer into a

00:36:38.120 complete psychopath.

00:36:39.360 They did it.

00:36:40.220 Isn't that great?

00:36:41.000 Details on that and so much more when we come back.

00:36:44.360 Glenn Beck.

00:36:45.260 Mercury.

00:36:46.980 Glenn Beck.

00:36:48.520 Wow.

00:36:48.800 It is amazing to watch progressive politicians enact more and more progressive policies as

00:36:54.660 if the policies were the default wishes of everybody.

00:36:58.400 That we're all sitting around going, man.

00:37:02.480 I just, I just wish we could, you know, have some sort of a law in place where we only could

00:37:11.920 use 50 gallons of water.

00:37:13.400 A former advisor to President Obama, Ben Rhodes.

00:37:18.840 He wrote after Trump's election night victory, Obama asked his aides, what if we were wrong?

00:37:25.880 I mean, I wonder whether I was 10 or 20 years too early.

00:37:28.640 I don't know.

00:37:30.000 I could have put your, I could have put your administration off another 20 years and been

00:37:34.640 happy.

00:37:35.080 Maybe it's just me.

00:37:36.040 But what Obama was talking about was his administration's progressivism was just too

00:37:41.840 awesome for America to handle.

00:37:44.100 Now, in this thinking, America couldn't yet appreciate what he was bringing to the table.

00:37:50.400 It was exactly the same thing that happened with Woodrow Wilson.

00:37:54.400 What a surprise.

00:37:55.540 Who thought, you know, my League of Nations, everybody is the right thing.

00:38:01.480 Everybody's going to love it.

00:38:03.280 We just have to repackage it and call it the United Nations.

00:38:05.800 And he thinks he was so far ahead of his time that that is why people revelled and voted

00:38:13.200 in Donald Trump.

00:38:14.340 It's not because progressive policies go against human nature and more and more every day go

00:38:22.820 against established science.

00:38:28.040 No, no, it's because people are too conservative or too stupid, too dumb to know what's good

00:38:33.500 for them.

00:38:33.980 Obama and his fellow progressives all across the land just don't get it yet.

00:38:41.740 Progressives continue to sprint towards the fringe of the left, thumbing their nose at

00:38:47.200 Americans that don't agree with him.

00:38:49.780 Common sense, science, rational thought.

00:38:54.320 This week's example, New York City.

00:38:57.160 The city council speaker, Corey Johnson, he's introducing a new proposal to allow adults to

00:39:02.460 choose the new gender category of X on their birth certificate.

00:39:07.280 Parents in New York City already have the option of declaring the sex of their baby to be,

00:39:12.840 you know, male, female or undetermined or unknown.

00:39:17.800 I don't know.

00:39:18.540 I need to look at it.

00:39:20.220 What do you think it is?

00:39:22.040 I don't know.

00:39:23.680 What's that thing?

00:39:26.560 I don't know.

00:39:27.640 Mark it down, unknown or undetermined.

00:39:31.940 It's really weird.

00:39:32.960 We don't have this problem with our pets.

00:39:35.380 Somehow or another, we're able to determine from birth whether Fido is male or female.

00:39:39.980 And with a name like Fido, I'm hoping it is a male.

00:39:43.540 Otherwise, the oppression of that poor slave dog that you have.

00:39:50.360 Yet city and state governments are now endorsing the lie that you can't trust whatever it is you have in your pants.

00:39:58.700 Okay.

00:39:58.940 You cannot trust the science of X and Y.

00:40:04.580 You have to listen to your heart no matter what science says.

00:40:08.220 Oh, oh my.

00:40:11.680 Now, Councilman Corey Johnson says,

00:40:13.760 this is about making it easier for people to be who they truly are.

00:40:19.680 No, no, no, no.

00:40:21.320 We can look at your DNA.

00:40:23.060 We can look at the genetic code and we can find out.

00:40:28.360 You're male.

00:40:29.180 You're female.

00:40:30.120 We can find that out.

00:40:31.660 It's an X or a Y.

00:40:32.500 That's it.

00:40:33.280 We do that with babies all the time.

00:40:34.780 We can just check.

00:40:36.160 It's male or female.

00:40:37.400 X or Y.

00:40:38.220 We do.

00:40:39.200 That's how it works.

00:40:40.880 I'm not a scientist, but I am a doctor.

00:40:44.340 He says it is important for people to be able to express who they really are and to let them know that New York City understands them and has their back.

00:40:55.360 Really, I lived in New York City.

00:40:57.260 The only part of my back that New York City had was where I kept my wallet.

00:41:03.880 Mayor de Blasio adds this policy, quote, will make our city fairer.

00:41:08.220 No, it won't.

00:41:09.360 It'll make it more insane.

00:41:12.160 It must be nice when you're a progressive to say things like that and not have to back it up.

00:41:16.740 Yes, by looking at our children in their crib and saying, I don't know, honey, it could be a male, could be a female, could be a turnip.

00:41:27.440 I'm not sure.

00:41:28.660 Somehow or another, that's going to make your city better.

00:41:31.820 By the way, I think it is appropriate that when you mark your birth certificate, if you want to be unknown or I don't know what that is, you want that?

00:41:48.520 All you have to do is mark it with an X.

00:41:57.060 Why is that important?

00:41:58.460 One of the most incredible and rare signatures that we have in our collection in our Mercury Museum, it's the only one that we know of that's in existence, is the autograph or signature of a guy named Peter Salem.

00:42:16.020 He is the hero of Bunker Hill.

00:42:19.300 He's a black man.

00:42:21.800 He was illiterate, couldn't read nor write.

00:42:26.680 His autograph is an X.

00:42:29.660 Back then, an X marking on a document used to be a sign of illiteracy.

00:42:37.840 It's funny.

00:42:40.660 Because now in New York City, it still is.

00:42:44.360 The sign of an X apparently represents those who are gender illiterate.

00:42:50.100 It's Tuesday, June 5th.

00:42:59.820 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:43:05.420 So somebody came up to me the other day and they started telling me a story of how they found out if St. Peter was actually buried under the Vatican.

00:43:15.240 And it has all the workings of a great story.

00:43:20.100 It's the Pope, but it's the Nazi Pope.

00:43:24.100 And it's happening during the Second World War.

00:43:27.360 All intrigued.

00:43:28.360 They don't want anybody to know that they're digging underneath the Vatican.

00:43:32.180 It involves the archives and all kinds of great stuff.

00:43:37.680 How do we know where St. Peter is?

00:43:39.560 Because at the time, people were starting to say St. Peter didn't even go to Rome.

00:43:44.260 He didn't even go to Rome and he wasn't crucified upside down.

00:43:47.100 None of that stuff.

00:43:48.200 You can't trust any of that stuff.

00:43:50.920 So the Pope starts to look for the fisherman's tomb.

00:43:55.740 That is the name of the book, True Story of the Vatican Secret Search.

00:43:59.260 John O'Neill is the author and he joins us now.

00:44:01.620 Hi, John.

00:44:02.000 How are you?

00:44:03.220 Hi, Glenn.

00:44:03.860 It's a great honor to be on your show.

00:44:05.620 Thank you.

00:44:05.980 So, John, I'm fascinated by this story.

00:44:10.060 In a nutshell, just tell the part of the story first about St. Peter and, you know, where he was supposedly buried and why they didn't know at the time where he was.

00:44:21.440 When St. Peter was executed by Nero around 65 AD, Nero, the Roman emperor, notorious bad guy, had burned down the center of Rome to build a huge new palace for himself.

00:44:36.120 And when people started to revolt, he blamed the fire on the Christians.

00:44:40.660 By legend, St. Peter was captured by Nero and then crucified upside down since he didn't want to be crucified in the same manner as Christ.

00:44:50.940 His body was thrown on a nearby hill where there was a dump, and the name of that hill was Vatican Hill.

00:44:58.920 Much later, Constantine showed up, legalized Christianity around 310 AD, and he built a great church, the first St. Peter's, on that hill.

00:45:09.560 He had to flatten the hill in order to do it, burying everything underneath the new church.

00:45:14.780 Legend said that he built it directly over the grave of Peter, but until these excavations, nothing new about it.

00:45:22.380 And in 1939, they began to bury the old pope under the Vatican, where he strangely wanted to be buried.

00:45:30.880 And the workman who was digging fell suddenly down into a room, about 30 feet into a room.

00:45:37.420 It was a room of fabulous Roman murals and statuary that no one had any idea was under the Vatican.

00:45:44.460 They looked a little further, found the tomb of a Christian woman from the early 2nd century.

00:45:50.080 And that's when Pius decided to pursue the legend that St. Peter was buried under St. Peter's.

00:45:55.900 That was 1940.

00:45:57.860 Okay, so it was legend, and it was also starting to be used against Christianity to discredit the Bible and everything else

00:46:08.560 and say that, you know, St. Peter never even came here.

00:46:12.380 All of that stuff is nonsense.

00:46:14.180 And quite honestly, some of the stuff that Constantine said was nonsense, or at least, you know, just on the word of his mother.

00:46:22.980 It wasn't scholarly at the time.

00:46:25.580 So the pope was motivated to find the truth.

00:46:30.800 And why did he think that he would find it there, or is that why he kept it secret, this hunt for St. Peter?

00:46:40.260 Well, he kept it secret for a couple of reasons, I think.

00:46:43.000 First, you know, Italy was ruled by the fascists and then by the Nazis.

00:46:50.280 Had they actually discovered that this search was in progress, they probably would have seized control of it.

00:46:56.000 Second, he didn't want any false rumors, either success or failure, to come out.

00:47:01.600 So he insisted that all the excavations be done by hand.

00:47:05.400 So you can imagine trying to excavate over a million, you know, square feet of fill by hand under this huge structure overhead.

00:47:16.060 Immensely expensive.

00:47:17.160 So they came here, amazingly, to Texas, secured financing from one of the wealthiest men in the world at the time, who provided it anonymously under express agreement that his name would never be known.

00:47:30.920 A man named George Strake, who gave away a great fortune anonymously, as the book relates.

00:47:35.560 I have to tell you, John, reading your book, I had no idea who this guy was, Strake.

00:47:41.920 I'd never heard of him.

00:47:43.540 I never heard of his oil strike.

00:47:46.600 What was the name of that?

00:47:48.700 It was the Great East Honroe Field.

00:47:50.600 It was the third largest oil field ever discovered in the United States.

00:47:55.600 He owned, he produced over 500 million barrels to his interest alone during World War II.

00:48:02.020 He would be thrilled, Glenn.

00:48:03.500 He gave away everything anonymously.

00:48:05.440 He would be thrilled to know that neither you nor anybody else had ever heard of him, that there was no Wikipedia entry.

00:48:11.300 He gave away many hundreds of millions of dollars, always under express condition that no one mentioned, his name that no one knew.

00:48:19.520 He believed in the biblical passage that said you can either claim credit in this world or in the next world.

00:48:26.120 After his death, things began to be named for him, like Strake High School and Strake scout camps all over the country.

00:48:36.260 But that was only after he died.

00:48:38.700 He doesn't even have a Wikipedia entry.

00:48:40.600 He believed strongly that the oil field was given to him by God to use the proceeds during his life to give them all away.

00:48:51.060 He said often the oil companies laughed at him.

00:48:53.520 He couldn't get anyone to back him when he drilled this great well.

00:48:58.160 And he said they didn't realize God was on his shoulder.

00:49:01.700 He was a wildcatter team of two.

00:49:04.000 And he gave it all away, all away during his life.

00:49:06.720 Yeah, he drilled that first hole with his last dollar.

00:49:12.200 And I love the promise that you write about that he says to his wife, you know, can we do that?

00:49:16.440 And she said, only if we hit it, you never, ever question my shopping bills.

00:49:23.260 That's exactly right.

00:49:24.360 George was sort of parsimanias, except incredibly generous in giving the money away.

00:49:29.180 His wife, Susan, said, look, George, you can drill as long as you promise you'll never question anything else I buy.

00:49:35.180 But she became one of the most famous shoppers in the world.

00:49:38.980 I bet.

00:49:40.360 They, of course, became close friends with Frank Sinatra, with many movie stars, all Susan's doing, as opposed to George.

00:49:47.860 So, John, I'm going to take a break.

00:49:49.480 When we come back, I want to take us now back to the Vatican and the part of the story where we have this woman who, at the time, women are not.

00:49:58.160 Women are not going to be doing this kind of work.

00:50:00.480 A very important woman that nobody's ever heard of.

00:50:04.160 And he, the Pope reaches out into the Reichstag to grab a priest from the Reichstag and how they found St. Peter's tomb and know that it is him.

00:50:17.340 We'll go there in just a minute.

00:50:19.520 Let me see if I can find this story here real quickly.

00:50:24.660 There is a really, really disturbing story.

00:50:29.380 Here it is.

00:50:30.120 Here it is.

00:50:30.780 Central banks observe sudden evaporation of dollar funding.

00:50:37.440 Warns of global turmoil.

00:50:39.860 Too hot?

00:50:40.480 That's why they're evaporating?

00:50:41.900 No, no, no, no.

00:50:44.240 No, we're borrowing too much.

00:50:46.620 The Fed is selling all of, you know, the stuff, the garbage that they bought up for, you know, quantitative easing, money printing.

00:50:55.060 So they're selling all of that stuff, trying to get all that money back.

00:50:58.320 And at the same time, the United States is just borrowing.

00:51:02.280 Nobody wants to loan it to us, wants to borrow.

00:51:05.120 And so we're eating up all of the dollars and we are crashing the economies in all of the emerging economies all around the world.

00:51:15.420 So the good news is, remember that prediction?

00:51:17.220 Hey, one day the whole world is going to look for somebody to blame it on and they're going to point to us and our greedy habits.

00:51:22.820 Yeah, that's this story.

00:51:25.380 Anyway, nothing to worry about.

00:51:26.800 If you believe that the world is on a crash course and is headed towards some, you know, possible turmoil or even real turmoil, you might want to consider gold.

00:51:41.980 The hedge for inflation, which is happening.

00:51:44.680 I have another story I have to share with you today about trucking.

00:51:47.040 It's unbelievable.

00:51:48.500 With inflation on the rise, gold is that traditional hedge.

00:51:53.100 I want you to call today, find out how easy it is to own gold or silver at 1-866-GOLDLINE, 1-866-GOLDLINE or goldline.com.

00:52:01.960 Make sure you do it now.

00:52:04.640 Make sure that buying gold or silver is right for you.

00:52:06.480 1-866-GOLDLINE or goldline.com.

00:52:09.240 Trust is a weird thing because I don't like trusting people.

00:52:32.400 I don't think anybody does.

00:52:33.700 I like to know that, you know, fundamentally what is true and what isn't true.

00:52:39.520 I want to know fundamentally that something is going to happen because I've been able to confirm that.

00:52:44.980 But when you're talking about a real estate agent, I mean, you meet someone in a restaurant or it's a friend of a friend of a friend, you don't know at all.

00:52:53.080 You have to trust.

00:52:54.640 And that's why just a loose relationship in your life is not enough when it comes to finding the right real estate agent.

00:53:01.160 You've got to find somebody who has gone through some sort of process, a screening process, a rigorous one where they look at how they advertise and how their performance has been in the past.

00:53:12.500 That's why realestateagentsitrust.com exists.

00:53:15.840 It's going to do that process for you.

00:53:17.920 Everybody that is on realestateagentsitrust.com has passed this rigorous testing, and that's why it's the right place to go to find a real estate agent.

00:53:25.240 Go to realestateagentsitrust.com right now.

00:53:31.560 So we're talking about the search for St. Peter underneath the Vatican, looking for his bones.

00:53:38.240 During the Second World War, Pope Pius brings in a guy named Klaus.

00:53:44.500 He's a priest.

00:53:45.460 He was working in the Reichstag and not popular with Hitler, believe it or not.

00:53:50.360 It would be kind of an unnerving place to be if you weren't popular with Hitler.

00:53:55.200 He was called back to Rome to help, but also another woman.

00:53:59.480 Her name is, is it Margarita Garducci?

00:54:01.720 That's it exactly, Glenn.

00:54:04.560 She was like you.

00:54:06.420 She was a person of great faith and great courage.

00:54:09.960 She was a diamond bit for the truth.

00:54:12.200 After everything had gone sort of, they had found the monument that supposedly marked Peter's grave 60 feet below the Vatican, but not the actual relics of Peter.

00:54:21.620 They brought her in.

00:54:23.060 She was one of the greatest archaeological experts in the world.

00:54:26.140 She was an agnostic.

00:54:28.320 They asked her just to take a look at what they had done.

00:54:30.760 She told them they had done a terrible job.

00:54:33.260 The Pope's solution was to fire everybody and put her in charge, which didn't go over very well with the Vatican bureaucracy.

00:54:40.140 I bet.

00:54:40.600 She became deeply a Christian as a result of what she saw.

00:54:44.680 She found the earliest Christian inscriptions really in the world, done generally in code.

00:54:50.740 Peter was a set of keys.

00:54:52.480 Christ was a Cairo symbol.

00:54:53.940 She found a wall within 16 inches of the plumb bob down from the top of the Vatican, and on the wall were 20 different prayers asking Peter to pray for various things.

00:55:07.620 And she found the words, Peter is within, and Peter is near.

00:55:11.640 She learned that there had been bones in the wall, and she got the bones, which had been placed in storage, turned them over to the best forensic anthropologist in the world.

00:55:21.980 They were the bones of a 60- to 70-year-old man.

00:55:25.280 He had been crucified upside down.

00:55:27.060 His feet were cut off when they took him down from the cross.

00:55:30.100 He had been about 5'8".

00:55:32.360 The bones had been buried in the soil under the monument the Christians had erected around 100 A.D., but moved into the wall about 250, probably to save them from Roman desecration.

00:55:44.500 They had been wrapped in a purple and gold cloth.

00:55:47.180 But after the forensic anthropologists looked at it, they concluded it was Peter, and the Pope declared it was Peter.

00:55:53.640 And there is a great deal of other evidence that it's Peter in addition to that.

00:55:57.620 But she was incredibly courageous.

00:56:02.060 She went to the Pope and said, hey, these guys have done a terrible job.

00:56:06.360 And she had no political skill, but she was probably the greatest archaeological detective of the 20th century, not only in solving this.

00:56:15.820 They were looking for a room with a golden cross and a large bronze sarcophagus that apparently Constantine had buried.

00:56:25.200 And they found this, and then there was nothing in it, right?

00:56:28.800 And it was part of what was called the Book of the Popes?

00:56:31.420 Well, yeah, there were three different things telling us, or early things, that told us Peter had been buried on Vatican Hill under St. Peter's.

00:56:40.860 One of them was the Book of the Popes, which described a grand burial with gold crosses.

00:56:47.380 It also said that Peter would be found directly under the center of the Vatican.

00:56:54.660 It was right on the second thing and completely wrong on the first thing.

00:56:58.400 There was no gold cross, there was no bronze sarcophagus, there were simply the relics of Peter himself.

00:57:05.120 And just the simple engravings that only she really had picked up on that said this is where he is.

00:57:15.420 They were less than 400 yards from Neera's palace.

00:57:19.380 If any of the people carving that into that wall had been caught, they would have been crucified or thrown to wild animals.

00:57:26.120 Their families would have been enslaved, everything they owned.

00:57:29.700 And they would literally sit and engrave it on this wall.

00:57:32.900 John, thank you so much.

00:57:35.740 The name of the book is The Fisherman's Tomb, The Fisherman's Tomb by John O'Neill.

00:57:40.840 It's available everywhere.

00:57:42.860 Pick it up.

00:57:43.340 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:57:50.380 I've spent a lot of time working on my new book, Addicted to Outrage, which covers a little bit of everything and explains why we are addicted to outrage.

00:58:01.840 How do you mean?

00:58:03.880 How did that happen?

00:58:05.200 And what does it mean if we can't get out of this cycle?

00:58:08.380 And it includes all kinds of things.

00:58:10.900 And one section is on tech and what is coming with tech.

00:58:15.800 And have you read that chapter yet, Stu?

00:58:18.400 Yeah.

00:58:19.420 Yes, I have.

00:58:20.180 It's a little...

00:58:20.840 It's a little...

00:58:21.620 Terrifying.

00:58:22.280 It's a little terrifying.

00:58:23.360 And it's probably literally one-tenth of what I want to put in the book.

00:58:28.380 But if I put the rest of it in the book, it becomes a tech book.

00:58:32.180 I mean, it is...

00:58:33.580 Yeah, you would have been fine writing a tech book, probably.

00:58:37.240 But...

00:58:37.580 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:58:38.100 This is a very high level, you know, 40 pages in the book of just, here's what's on the horizon.

00:58:45.180 And none of this is crazy talk.

00:58:48.400 These aren't flying cars.

00:58:49.700 This is on the horizon.

00:58:51.360 And it's not just...

00:58:52.820 There's not pointless, like, I want to talk about tech reasons.

00:58:56.100 It's why.

00:58:56.740 It's why all this other stuff matters.

00:58:58.760 Yeah.

00:58:59.180 It really is, like, it kind of boils down why this stuff needs to be talked about now and not later.

00:59:05.040 Yeah.

00:59:05.380 I had somebody last night read these three chapters that are just on, okay, here's why we need to act right now.

00:59:14.260 I talked to him this morning and he was like, oh, okay, all right.

00:59:17.560 But I couldn't, okay, I have to look all of that stuff up because that's true?

00:59:24.840 Yeah.

00:59:25.200 That's happening?

00:59:26.220 Yeah.

00:59:27.260 Holy cow.

00:59:28.460 It's happening and it's going to happen at record speed.

00:59:32.000 Let me give you something that just came out, I think, yesterday or a couple of days ago.

00:59:38.140 NVIDIA has just launched an AI computer that will give robots brains to be able to move, be able to do all kinds of 3D mapping, be able to have conversations with you, be able to recognize you, multiple faces, do multiple things.

00:59:56.540 And be able to exist in a 3D world, okay?

01:00:00.260 Now, that's quite a computer.

01:00:03.060 Let me tell you about the computer that they just released.

01:00:07.120 It is the new Jetson Xavier computer.

01:00:11.440 It's an incredibly compact piece of hardware and it has a number of processing components.

01:00:18.940 A lot of this is not going to make sense, but just hear me out for a second.

01:00:21.800 The Volta Tensor Core GPU, an 8-core ARM64 CPU, two NVDLA deep learning accelerators, and processors for static images and video.

01:00:34.880 In total, it contains more than 9 billion transistors, more than 9 billion transistors, and delivers over 30 tops, which is trillion operations per second.

01:00:49.420 One trillion, sorry, 30 trillion computations operations per second.

01:01:02.400 That's significant.

01:01:04.560 It consumes in power, I mean, it's pretty power draining, 30 watts to run, which is half of what it takes to run the average light bulb.

01:01:15.880 Now, let me give you, let me give you a, let me give you some perspective on 30 teraflops, 30 trillion operations per second on 30 watts of power in a mobile brain.

01:01:35.280 Let me give you this.

01:01:36.220 Do you remember way back if we got into our DeLorean time machine and we went back to, it was 19 years ago, next month or two months from now, August of 1999, Apple came out with something.

01:01:56.640 And it was the Power Mac G4.

01:02:00.660 Now, I remember because we bought one of these in about 2002, and I think it was about $10,000.

01:02:07.700 And it was state-of-the-art, fastest thing available.

01:02:13.040 I couldn't believe we needed a $10,000, you know, CPU, but we had to have it because of all the mixing we were doing and all of the processing and the crunching.

01:02:21.980 This was the only thing, this was the only thing, it was $10,000.

01:02:25.820 It was actually at the time banned from export because it was classified as a supercomputer that could be used to harm national security.

01:02:38.120 Okay.

01:02:39.260 The Apple G4.

01:02:41.120 It did 2,775 million operations per second.

01:02:51.960 That means this new computer is 1.08 million percent faster than the G4.

01:03:02.820 Can do, can, it can have 1.08 million percent increase in processing power.

01:03:13.080 The G4 was $10,000.

01:03:17.460 This is just over 1,000.

01:03:24.780 That is stunning.

01:03:27.780 Now, what this does, again, is allows a computer to be able to go out and be nimble and live and start to work in the real world next to other living things.

01:03:43.540 On a completely unrelated, on a completely unrelated note, researchers at MIT who are looking for algorithms and the search for AI, A-G-I-A-S-I got together and thought,

01:04:02.240 I wonder, I wonder, I wonder if we could make an algorithm that became psychopathic.

01:04:15.640 Now, when I'm with my friends of researchers who are studying algorithms, AI and A-G-I, I say, I don't know, but maybe we shouldn't find out.

01:04:29.240 But they decided that they were going to try to make a psychopathic algorithm.

01:04:38.160 And so what they did at MIT was they gave training of this AI.

01:04:46.200 They trained it all on data from the dark web.

01:04:50.840 So it showed it horrible films, horrible images all the time.

01:04:58.000 What on earth are they doing?

01:04:59.980 Right?

01:05:00.860 Right?

01:05:01.960 Showed people dying in the most gruesome circumstances and just fed it, all of this, to see what would happen to the algorithm.

01:05:12.680 Well, what do you think happened to the algorithm?

01:05:14.500 Got a little dark.

01:05:15.260 Got a little dark.

01:05:16.780 Did a Rorschach test, you know those tests where they show the ink blots?

01:05:20.900 Hey, what's this?

01:05:21.700 Every time.

01:05:22.860 Somebody being slaughtered in a bathtub.

01:05:24.280 What's this one?

01:05:26.120 Somebody be set on fire.

01:05:27.420 What's this one?

01:05:28.440 All the time.

01:05:29.100 It cannot think any other pattern other than psychopathic.

01:05:36.880 Now, I'm just saying that maybe we should look at that one and go, good.

01:05:41.920 Okay.

01:05:42.340 We know it can be done.

01:05:43.880 Let's erase all of that and never do it again.

01:05:47.960 Right now, one of the problems with where we're going with AI and researchers from all over the world, we are being left in the dust.

01:06:00.780 We have to decide whether or not we're serious or not, whether we believe that the West is the one that should have the key to AI and AGI and possibly ASI, super intelligence.

01:06:18.560 Because once we have general intelligence or super intelligence, whoever cracks this code, as Putin says, rules the world.

01:06:27.480 China is moving at light speed on it.

01:06:31.220 Russia is doing the same.

01:06:32.960 We're really kind of not.

01:06:35.000 I mean, some of our organizations, Google, we are, but we're not really working together.

01:06:40.460 And perhaps there needs to be some sort of a Manhattan project, but I do not want to give this technology to the government.

01:06:48.160 So I don't know exactly what to do because I don't trust anybody who is working on this anywhere.

01:06:54.320 Because remember, fear of the goals, fear what it is being taught.

01:07:00.960 Example, MIT.

01:07:03.680 Fear what it's being taught because it will have total control.

01:07:07.820 Now, the scientists have come around from all over the world and they have signed a treaty and said that none of us scientists should work on this, but they are.

01:07:20.660 None of us should work on this and governments should not be allowed to weaponize AI.

01:07:27.080 And the governments are getting around this and people are, you know, closing that loop in their head by saying, oh, yeah, but you know what?

01:07:35.000 Yes, yes.

01:07:35.900 I'm making an automated drone that does carry weapons and can seek people out by their faces and can kill them.

01:07:46.580 But.

01:07:48.560 Still requires the human to push the button to say, yes, I, I accept that's the target.

01:07:53.980 If we are training AI to search and kill humans and that is their goal and their job.

01:08:05.040 Remember, they don't have general intelligence.

01:08:09.520 Their intelligence is just to search and kill enemies.

01:08:14.160 Whoever is told that's an enemy, that's their job.

01:08:17.520 Just like the psychopathic algorithm at MIT.

01:08:22.000 It's only been fed information.

01:08:26.120 People need to be killed.

01:08:28.020 If it goes into AGI and has any kind of goal that says kill all of the enemies.

01:08:40.580 If it decides to change the parameters of enemies or it just shuts off our override switch and decides, you know what?

01:08:50.620 They're too stupid.

01:08:51.260 They don't even understand.

01:08:53.320 We cannot treat it.

01:08:55.320 We cannot teach these things to kill us.

01:09:01.820 Russia is doing it.

01:09:03.360 China is doing it.

01:09:05.220 India is doing it.

01:09:06.860 Everyone is doing it.

01:09:08.620 Should we not?

01:09:09.480 While we are sitting here and we are talking about nonsense, as we are sitting here talking about the things that, oh, what, did you see what he tweeted today?

01:09:27.400 Did you see what happened with Philadelphia and the Eagles?

01:09:30.220 We should be talking about ideas and thoughts and how to draw parameters around the things that will actually impact all of us every single day.

01:09:44.960 Because whether you know it or not, we look at our computers as, oh, yeah, OK, they've gotten faster.

01:09:51.720 Look at our phones.

01:09:52.420 Oh, it's just a phone.

01:09:53.780 No.

01:09:54.260 Now, look at what has happened in in the in the last 19 years.

01:10:03.080 Look at the speed of the computer, the size of the computer, the size of the energy consumption and what was a threat to national security.

01:10:18.800 Now, something that is a million times more powerful.

01:10:21.940 Yeah, it's just going to be used, you know, on the floors of Lowe's with their new little help bots.

01:10:30.000 It's not it's not a problem.

01:10:31.420 We just designed that for the computer here at Lowe's Hardware.

01:10:42.760 Let us not be the show that tries to minimize the impact of the Philadelphia Eagles.

01:10:48.080 However, I just we do have to talk about that.

01:10:50.540 We do have to talk about that.

01:10:52.200 Unfortunately, I saw that last night.

01:10:53.540 I'm like, oh, she's going to talk just to us.

01:10:56.700 All right.

01:10:57.320 Let me tell you about Blinds.com.

01:11:19.900 You can have blinds, shades, shutters, drapes.

01:11:23.240 Stu put shutters in his house.

01:11:25.920 And I love the story.

01:11:27.620 Blinds.com coming over to his house because it's true.

01:11:29.680 This is the way they are.

01:11:30.940 They came over.

01:11:31.880 And I think it was your wife that picked out these shutters.

01:11:34.360 Right.

01:11:34.500 Stunningly, she selected the most expensive ones available.

01:11:38.660 And what they say?

01:11:39.460 They said, well, I mean, those are great.

01:11:41.480 But you know what?

01:11:42.140 We actually have this one that is just as good and actually costs a lot less.

01:11:45.800 So, I mean, we'd recommend these.

01:11:48.140 And that's what we went with.

01:11:48.960 And they're awesome.

01:12:33.980 Blinds.com slash back.

01:12:35.800 That's blinds.com slash back.

01:12:38.280 Rules and restrictions do apply.

01:12:41.620 All right.

01:12:43.480 I've got to hear about that.

01:12:45.080 I've got to hear about the.

01:12:46.740 The score was 41 to 33 as the Philadelphia Eagles triumphed over the New England Patriots.

01:12:52.280 I have to hear the Eagle propaganda now from.

01:12:56.080 I mean, I just, I, you know, I will never enjoy the insertion of politics into this particular realm.

01:13:01.940 I run from it as fast as possible.

01:13:03.860 I mean, look, the Eagles, you know, didn't kneel last year.

01:13:06.920 There was one player in the preseason who kneeled and never made the team.

01:13:10.220 And then did they go into the locker room?

01:13:11.980 No, they did not go into the locker room.

01:13:13.280 They did not.

01:13:13.820 Malcolm Jenkins was one of their star players is one of the most outspoken people on this issue.

01:13:17.700 However, he put his, his fist in the air for a few games this year.

01:13:22.980 But I mean, they're, they, they weren't, you know, they didn't have Colin Kaepernick on their team.

01:13:28.020 I don't know why they're, you know, why that's part of the narrative.

01:13:30.920 You know, look, a lot of them weren't coming.

01:13:32.700 You know, if you have a giant party and you invite 53 people and only four are coming, I don't know that you canceled on them.

01:13:38.180 Uh, but that's kind of the way that it's just a matter of making this into yet another cultural issue.

01:13:44.040 And I, I just wish, you know, it's not, they didn't come.

01:13:47.480 And I think that personally, I understand everybody has a freedom of choice.

01:13:51.840 Um, but, uh, would you have gone if, if Barack Obama would have invited us to the white house?

01:14:00.520 Would you have gone?

01:14:01.260 I mean, if you forced me to go, I would have probably gone just as a, as a work requirement.

01:14:05.160 However, I would not be interested in going.

01:14:06.980 Well, I didn't say I would be, well, no, I would be, I'd be interested.

01:14:09.580 Cause why, like, why are you inviting us?

01:14:11.400 Right.

01:14:11.580 Yeah.

01:14:11.880 But if there was some sort of thing that we had done and he was like, okay, we're going to honor, you wouldn't have gone.

01:14:17.280 No, no.

01:14:19.340 Can I tell you a story in history when we come back?

01:14:21.560 Yeah, definitely.

01:14:21.980 That should make the new, new, uh, the, uh, the, ah, the Eagles question what they've just done.

01:14:29.680 Beck, Mercury, Glenn Beck.

01:14:35.720 It's Tuesday, June 5th.

01:14:37.620 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:14:39.460 So the Philadelphia Eagles and Donald Trump are in a spat and they're in a spat because a bunch of them didn't want to go to the white house.

01:14:48.880 And I was thinking about this and I thought about this since Bill Clinton was in office.

01:14:53.920 When Bill Clinton was in office and he was doing despicable things, there were people that said, I won't shake his hand.

01:14:59.680 And I always said at the time, he's the president of the United States out of respect.

01:15:05.740 You shake the man's hand out of respect for the office.

01:15:10.080 Can we not be civil to one another?

01:15:13.220 So Barack Obama never in what a surprise never invited me or anybody else that I know to the oval office, uh, or to the white house just to meet.

01:15:25.960 And I said to Stu, if, if the president would have asked you to come and speak, Barack Obama, would you have gone?

01:15:35.840 And you said, I would politely decline.

01:15:39.480 Really?

01:15:40.980 Yes.

01:15:42.100 Why?

01:15:43.520 Uh, I'm not interested.

01:15:45.660 I don't, I don't, I don't hold, uh, the president of the United States up on some pedestal, uh, of subservience or anything else.

01:15:52.880 I think there's a, there's an idea that, you know, this is such an amazing power seat that you're supposed to bow down to it.

01:15:59.460 And I, I don't care.

01:16:00.140 I doesn't bow down to it.

01:16:00.940 Just go out of courtesy.

01:16:03.160 Somebody, the president.

01:16:03.980 I would offer him.

01:16:05.160 I mean, like, look, if, if, uh, Bob, who is a plumber in, uh, Montana, uh, asked me to come visit.

01:16:12.900 If I was really interested, I would go visit.

01:16:15.480 And if not, I would politely decline.

01:16:17.340 That's the same treatment the president of the United States should get.

01:16:21.400 So this is for any president.

01:16:23.400 I, I mean, I like, you know, if, uh, if a president who I absolutely adored wanted me to go there, then I probably would be interested enough to go.

01:16:31.480 Sure.

01:16:31.820 I mean, we, we've visited former presidents before for interviews and stuff.

01:16:35.020 And obviously there's work requirements and things like that.

01:16:37.140 But I think generally speaking, if I'm just asked to go, I, you know, I'm not, I'm not won over by the, it's a tradition that if you're the winning team, you go to the white house.

01:16:49.660 It is.

01:16:50.100 Uh, you know, when we were, when Obama was in office, there was a guy who was a fan of yours, who was the goaltender for the Boston Bruins.

01:16:58.700 Uh, and he, uh, big, no, he said, no, didn't want to go.

01:17:03.860 What was our stance on that at the time?

01:17:05.160 I mean, if you don't want to go, you don't want to go.

01:17:08.100 Um, at that time, of course, the media was all over him.

01:17:10.720 Yeah.

01:17:11.040 It was, it was a terrible thing.

01:17:12.600 That was an insult to that office, to the office.

01:17:15.840 How would you never go to?

01:17:16.980 I mean, and now, you know, I mean, look, there's reports that between four and 10 Eagles players were going to go to meet with Trump today.

01:17:25.740 Now, if you cancel that, the only people you punish are the people who actually wanted to go see you.

01:17:33.380 Right.

01:17:33.780 If I were the president, if I were Trump, what I would have done is I would have said, oh, there's only four.

01:17:39.960 Good.

01:17:41.260 Because we're going to area 51.

01:17:45.240 You know what I mean?

01:17:45.800 You guys are going to be able to launch weapons.

01:17:47.360 You know, I would show you, good.

01:17:49.660 I'm glad there's only four because we're going to do stuff that nobody's ever able to do.

01:17:55.540 And that way they all go home and go, we saw the aliens, dude.

01:18:00.020 You should have come.

01:18:02.300 That's what I would have done.

01:18:04.240 I'd show them something really cool.

01:18:06.440 But, yeah, I mean, the players that were going are the people who really wanted to meet him.

01:18:11.760 Right.

01:18:11.940 And I mean, especially when when most of your team isn't going to walk across that line is a real you're sticking your neck out a little bit to go see the president.

01:18:20.100 And then they cancel it.

01:18:21.140 So now remember, I'm the guy who went to the Oval after calling for the president to be impeached.

01:18:25.940 Yes.

01:18:26.800 Bush.

01:18:27.440 Yeah.

01:18:27.740 Now, and you have a different.

01:18:28.780 I mean, I really resist trying, you know, the attempt to feel won over by that office because I think it's a.

01:18:39.200 Oh, no.

01:18:39.480 And I think you are, too.

01:18:40.840 I mean, I think generally speaking, you are, too.

01:18:42.400 You're looking at it as a respectful thing, which I think is.

01:18:45.360 The office.

01:18:46.140 I don't mind being won over by the office and the principles the office that it stands for.

01:18:51.300 I'm not going to be won over by the man.

01:18:54.360 Right.

01:18:54.800 You know what I mean?

01:18:55.160 I'm not a fan.

01:18:55.840 I didn't go and and and look at George Bush and go, oh, he's such a great guy.

01:19:00.860 I like him now.

01:19:01.880 I still had deep issues with him.

01:19:04.420 My opinion of him changed because of private conversations, but I was still hostile towards him at the end of his relationship on my return.

01:19:15.400 I was positive on some of the things I was very negative about.

01:19:19.280 For instance, what we spoke about, which I wanted to speak about, was the border he refused to.

01:19:25.420 We did speak about the war, which I was also very much against at the time and thought you're fighting the way he was fighting it.

01:19:33.140 Yeah, we're fighting this to lose.

01:19:34.420 We're not fighting this to win.

01:19:35.660 What are we doing?

01:19:37.180 He we had a long hour long conversation about that.

01:19:40.180 And that changed my mind when, you know, we didn't talk about the border and the border guards and that pissed me off.

01:19:47.760 So I wasn't won over by the office and I'm not suggesting that what I here's we here's what I'm trying to get to.

01:19:55.080 If if President Obama or President Trump or, you know, Bush or Clinton or anybody invited me to the Oval Office, I would go.

01:20:02.760 And I would go and I would be polite and I would shake hands and I wouldn't be belligerent.

01:20:08.240 I would be clear on what I believe.

01:20:11.120 But I would listen.

01:20:12.440 And the reason reason why I say this, you should read the book Freedom's Forge.

01:20:17.660 There's one scene in this book, Freedom's Forge, and it's it's about how in 1939 we were we knew war was coming and we were in trouble.

01:20:27.560 I mean, our guys had to train, I think, in 1941.

01:20:32.320 We were still training with broomsticks.

01:20:34.980 Literally, we didn't have enough guns.

01:20:38.220 And so as soon as Poland was invaded, FDR knew, oh, crap, we're screwed.

01:20:46.420 And so he called he called somebody from Detroit.

01:20:51.940 His name was Bill Knutson, I think.

01:20:54.380 And Bill was this guy who was just a scrappy kind of fighter.

01:21:00.420 And he was when he was young, he actually was the guy who ran the floor for Henry Ford.

01:21:07.120 He's the guy.

01:21:08.140 He's the guy responsible for the assembly line, not Henry Ford.

01:21:12.020 Henry Ford screwed it up twice.

01:21:13.700 He opened it up assembly line.

01:21:15.520 It failed.

01:21:16.160 He opened up a second one.

01:21:17.320 It failed the third time Knutson was there and it succeeded because he said, no, you're doing it wrong.

01:21:23.940 You have to lay everything out so nobody is walking too far to get the stuff.

01:21:29.960 You have to line it up in a certain way.

01:21:31.900 So he's the guy who did that.

01:21:33.800 And he built the Ford into what it was.

01:21:37.660 By the time he, you know, had real juice at Ford and Ford was popular.

01:21:43.820 He was like, dude, we have got to get other colors and other models.

01:21:49.620 People are people want something else.

01:21:52.060 And Henry Ford was not into it and really hated that idea.

01:21:57.480 And so Bill went over to GM, which was this fledgling company.

01:22:02.140 He took it and he built it into a real challenger, which actually beat Ford in a relatively short period of time.

01:22:10.360 Now, during the Great Depression, Bill was looked at as an enemy of the people because he's just this rich guy, this powerful guy who's oppressing his workers and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

01:22:23.760 OK, and FDR was going after him because the unions didn't like the boss, the GM.

01:22:29.700 And so FDR was putting this guy's life in a ringer and anti-capitalist and everything else.

01:22:38.680 And this guy was a very big American freedom kind of voluntary service kind of guy.

01:22:46.620 FDR calls him.

01:22:49.520 Hitler's coming to Poland and he says, Bill, I need to see you in Washington on Monday.

01:22:56.680 So on Friday night, he's sitting down for dinner with his family and he says, Mr. Roosevelt called me today and said he wants to meet with me in his office.

01:23:07.320 I don't know what he wants to talk to me about.

01:23:09.200 And his family says, you're not going, are you, Dad?

01:23:12.580 And he said, why?

01:23:14.260 He said, Dad, this guy has tried to destroy everything we believe in.

01:23:19.500 He has tried to destroy you personally, our finances, your company.

01:23:24.540 We believe he's doing great damage to the capitalist system.

01:23:29.160 He is our enemy.

01:23:31.320 And he sat at the table and he said, no, he's the president of the United States.

01:23:37.420 And while I don't have to agree with him, I should at least hear him out and meet with him.

01:23:43.980 So here's this, quote unquote, these two enemies coming together and meeting.

01:23:49.660 And he says, Roosevelt says to him, Bill, we're in trouble and you're the only guy I know that can do it.

01:23:57.260 And he said, Mr. President, you're anti, you know, business policies and your government controls are killing us.

01:24:06.000 We can't do it like that.

01:24:07.240 He said, Bill, I'll give you power.

01:24:09.360 You can order what you need.

01:24:10.560 You can do what you need.

01:24:11.640 But we need stuff.

01:24:14.520 We need tanks.

01:24:15.220 We need airplanes.

01:24:16.840 So he's he did it.

01:24:20.620 1941, because he didn't have enough power from FDR, FDR fired him, got another guy, but it was already too late.

01:24:29.120 He got a new dealer in there, but it was already too late because Bill had set up this system with all of the factories to where they were just cranking stuff out.

01:24:38.380 But it hadn't hit yet.

01:24:39.660 We were making what do we make?

01:24:41.880 Forty billion.

01:24:43.400 I think 40 billion bullets in like, I think, a year was crazy amounts.

01:24:50.460 We were we provided three quarters of all of the armaments for all of the allied forces, three quarters of the ships, the airplanes, the bullets, everything.

01:25:01.200 And it's all because of that one guy and all because of that one meeting and all because he said, look, I don't have to agree with him.

01:25:09.760 I don't have to like him and he didn't have to like me, but I should take the meeting.

01:25:14.600 I think there's something important about that.

01:25:17.840 And it's the way we move.

01:25:20.100 You know, I heard a song today and it said there was just a line.

01:25:26.000 It takes a lot of rain.

01:25:26.860 I don't remember what the song was.

01:25:27.960 It takes a lot of rain.

01:25:28.800 And I thought to myself, I don't even know what this song is about.

01:25:32.460 But man, it does for us to grow.

01:25:36.360 It does take rain.

01:25:37.960 It takes those those hard, rainy, cloudy, stormy days to be able to grow.

01:25:46.040 If we if if he wouldn't have had that day, we were building liberty ships.

01:25:52.180 We were building ships, releasing an entire ship from start to finish in five days, say five.

01:26:05.720 Can you imagine that five days for a liberty ship?

01:26:10.760 And those are the ships that save the world.

01:26:13.400 Yeah.

01:26:13.980 I mean, you know, look, he was uniquely qualified to help something really important.

01:26:17.940 And luckily, I have no discernible skills, so I would never be in that position.

01:26:23.840 Right.

01:26:23.940 Yeah, I guess.

01:26:24.640 But I mean, you're right.

01:26:25.440 There are certainly circumstances when you're talking about fighting off the Nazis and you're

01:26:29.500 the one guy that can make it happen.

01:26:31.180 Yeah.

01:26:31.400 You take you take the freaking meeting.

01:26:33.400 Right.

01:26:34.240 And I think, you know, look, as I said, I would, you know, if you had to go and it was

01:26:38.380 part of my work requirements and whatever.

01:26:40.940 Oh, stop it.

01:26:41.600 I can't get you to I couldn't get you to go to Canada with me.

01:26:45.000 I'm a Canadian sports hero.

01:26:46.480 Of course, I go to Canada.

01:26:47.940 But yeah, no, I would not go to some of the those crazy, you know, risky places that

01:26:52.580 you like to go like, you know, Mexico, like Southern Texas, all those places, California.

01:27:01.240 But yeah, no, I mean, look, you're right.

01:27:03.220 I think there's a respect for your office.

01:27:05.260 That doesn't mean that necessarily, you know, there's a there's a there's a temptation, I

01:27:10.780 think, by people that, you know, like, hey, wow, what an amazing thing it would be to

01:27:15.000 meet with someone with all that power.

01:27:16.820 And like, I you got to fight that instinct off.

01:27:20.500 Right.

01:27:20.960 Like, I appreciate the fact that you can go and say that you're a free citizen and the

01:27:25.140 president can beckon and say, hey, I want you to stop by and you can say, no, I really

01:27:29.560 cannot take you.

01:27:30.780 I cannot take you.

01:27:31.660 And I I'm not going to give you the opportunity for a photo opportunity with me.

01:27:38.780 You know what I mean?

01:27:39.580 And that's what a sports figure could feel like or something like that.

01:27:42.500 So I I guess I can understand that.

01:27:44.520 You know, I'd love to hear our opinion from when that sports figure did that in under Obama.

01:27:53.540 Oh, Thomas.

01:27:53.980 Yeah.

01:27:54.300 Yeah.

01:27:54.700 It would be interesting to see where we where we stood on that.

01:27:57.820 I mean, I think he did.

01:27:58.620 And he did it outwardly because he was not a fan of the president.

01:28:01.300 Right.

01:28:01.560 And I and I agree with your right to do that.

01:28:04.600 I mean, I have no hard feelings on that.

01:28:06.620 I just wonder, you know.

01:28:08.540 Uh, is there no decorum?

01:28:14.120 Is there no decorum?

01:28:15.480 And maybe there shouldn't be.

01:28:16.960 Maybe Stu is right.

01:28:17.900 There shouldn't be.

01:28:18.880 I'm not saying there shouldn't be anything.

01:28:20.400 No, you know what I mean?

01:28:21.740 That you don't say, you know, this is a tradition.

01:28:24.640 We go.

01:28:25.700 We have our photo taken with the president and yada, yada, yada.

01:28:29.960 I mean, here's what I don't like.

01:28:31.180 The president has been outwardly, outwardly antagonistic against the league.

01:28:36.760 Right.

01:28:37.200 I mean, it's not just it's not just that they disagree with him on a policy.

01:28:41.200 Even he's been outwardly antagonistic against the league where they get their their salary.

01:28:48.080 Uh, they're the eagles.

01:28:49.900 They should be used to people being outwardly against them.

01:28:54.000 That's a fair point.

01:28:55.160 That's a fair point.

01:28:56.940 I mean, I think the president did the right thing.

01:28:59.280 You might get an ice ball in the head.

01:29:02.500 You don't invite the eagles to the to the White House.

01:29:07.200 Um, all right.

01:29:10.320 I want to talk to you a little bit about filter by filter by will, um, uh, will help you in many different ways.

01:29:19.880 Uh, it is so hot in Dallas right now.

01:29:25.880 And the air conditioning is on all the time now.

01:29:30.880 And you can't let those things overheat and work so hard.

01:29:35.680 I mean, it is, it is really, really, um, pushing our air conditioning units and our air handling systems, our HVAC systems to the max.

01:29:45.220 It's 105 or 107 outside.

01:29:48.060 And it's 62 in this studio or 65 in the studio.

01:29:52.240 You don't want to replace that.

01:29:53.960 You want to make sure it's running the way it's supposed to.

01:29:56.720 And changing the oil filter is the best thing you can do for your, your HVAC system, for your home or for your business.

01:30:04.840 Now, filter by carries 600 sizes.

01:30:08.560 They ship for free 24 hours.

01:30:10.280 They're made right here in America.

01:30:11.640 And they have auto delivery, which I personally like.

01:30:15.100 You don't have to use this, but, um, they will send them to you every six months or however often you're supposed to change that thing.

01:30:21.760 Um, see, that's how, that's how I think that's how most of us are.

01:30:24.960 I have absolutely no idea how long at six months, six weeks, six years.

01:30:31.960 When I sell the house, I have no idea.

01:30:35.160 If you get on the auto delivery, they'll knock off 5% save time, save money, breathe better.

01:30:40.760 However, do yourself a favor so you're not paying high repair bills on your HVAC system.

01:30:46.320 Change your filters.

01:30:58.140 I get maybe I'm, maybe it's my age that is making me, I don't know.

01:31:03.960 I've always felt, I mean, you worked with me during the Clinton Lewinsky years.

01:31:08.080 You're always very respectful of the office, the presidency.

01:31:11.960 I may not like the president, but I, I am going, I haven't, I've never had a president be nice to me ever.

01:31:23.960 No, George W. Bush was a fairly, you didn't have a bad meeting with George W. Bush.

01:31:27.880 Did I tell you what happened with George Bush?

01:31:30.560 Well, there's, I'm not saying every moment of your life.

01:31:33.560 I think I'm going to, I got to tell you what happened with George W. Bush.

01:31:36.400 No, no, no.

01:31:36.880 You don't, I don't think you know this story.

01:31:38.620 So we get a call.

01:31:41.420 Um, somebody, somebody in my office is talking to somebody in his office about something.

01:31:46.480 And they were like, oh, we were doing something for charity.

01:31:48.880 And you know, those paintings that I did of George W. Bush.

01:31:51.540 And so it was for charity.

01:31:53.260 And, uh, so I was going to have him run over to Bush and have him sign it.

01:31:58.020 Not for my charity, for, for Chuck Norris's charity.

01:32:01.120 Right.

01:32:01.620 And, uh, and, uh, so we call and the person says, um, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm,

01:32:09.700 I'm not sure that, uh, that, that will, that will, that will work.

01:32:16.140 That he would sign the picture.

01:32:17.900 Yeah.

01:32:18.600 And why, I mean, I'm not saying you've had a great relationship with a guy, you've

01:32:21.660 been critical of him on the air and such, but because quote, because of what Mr.

01:32:27.300 Beck did with the Dalai Lama and George Bush's speech.

01:32:35.100 And I was like, and so that's what she comes.

01:32:37.480 My, my assistant comes back to me and she's like, what the hell did you do?

01:32:40.460 And I'm like, nothing.

01:32:42.060 What are you talking about?

01:32:43.180 Did I say something out there?

01:32:44.100 She said, no, it happened apparently at his speech.

01:32:48.120 And you had met with the Dalai Lama and he was there.

01:32:52.340 And then he started giving a speech and something happened.

01:32:55.460 And I'm like, what?

01:32:58.220 So she comes back.

01:32:59.880 Apparently you walked out of his speech.

01:33:02.480 I'm like, I would never walk out of the president's what I would never do.

01:33:07.840 Because you know me, I would show deference to the president.

01:33:11.120 And I would never, oh my gosh, I did.

01:33:15.540 Oh my gosh, I did.

01:33:17.820 And all of a sudden it came rushing back to me.

01:33:21.980 I have a medical condition and occasionally it will get so bad.

01:33:26.920 And Stu has seen me.

01:33:28.340 It doesn't, it doesn't happen often on the ground.

01:33:32.020 Almost every flight I'm on.

01:33:33.560 It does where it's almost like a seizure, but it's, it's not, and it's not good.

01:33:40.520 And it's not something that you really, you really want to do in public.

01:33:44.760 And, uh, I was sitting next to my wife and George Bush was being introduced.

01:33:50.440 And I said, good God, honey, one of these things are coming on.

01:33:54.320 And she said, you better get out of here before you cause a scene during his speech.

01:34:02.240 So I got, he started speaking and I get up and I'm getting up.

01:34:07.400 Cause I like, I've got to get out of here.

01:34:09.060 So I don't wreck his speech.

01:34:10.400 And he saw me and he's like, that son of a bitch can't even sit here while I'm speaking

01:34:18.220 about the Dalai Lama.

01:34:20.180 Wow.

01:34:20.540 You're a jerk.

01:34:21.920 Unbelievable.

01:34:23.160 All right.

01:34:23.680 Back in a minute.

01:34:24.320 I, you know, I couldn't take, welcome to the program, Pat Gray.

01:34:31.340 Um, I could not take last night.

01:34:33.000 The, the tweets still at, you know, 11 o'clock at night.

01:34:38.680 The media is so dumb.

01:34:40.840 They're saying this was a narrow victory.

01:34:44.880 No, it's not.

01:34:46.220 I mean, really it's, you've had 14 hours to process this.

01:34:52.800 Normally that's a, you know, that's a, you know, that's not a long time, but in today's

01:34:57.560 media world and with Twitter and Facebook corrections like that, the whole world gangs up on you.

01:35:05.380 Usually within five minutes stuff, that dumb is, is, is squelched still last night.

01:35:11.900 So narrow.

01:35:13.700 No, it wasn't a narrow margin.

01:35:16.520 It was narrow in, it was narrow in its scope.

01:35:19.900 That was what it was.

01:35:21.400 And seemingly nobody got that.

01:35:23.340 And also a lot of people were celebrating.

01:35:26.320 And, and I think also a lot of people on the, on the left, like Nancy Pelosi, very upset because

01:35:33.320 there is no equality.

01:35:34.440 I agree with her.

01:35:35.520 There is, there is no equality.

01:35:37.640 If, if you must kowtow to someone's belief that goes against your belief, then there is

01:35:48.540 no equality.

01:35:49.440 They are greater than you.

01:35:51.600 You cannot say, no, you know, you can't do, you can't live with them because you think

01:35:58.500 that you're that way.

01:36:00.220 You can't, you can't do that.

01:36:02.780 Just like they can't say, you can't object to whatever because you think that there is

01:36:10.360 a God.

01:36:11.560 No, you don't have to believe.

01:36:14.500 You don't have to accept.

01:36:16.260 You don't have to be a part.

01:36:17.620 That's the point.

01:36:18.360 I don't have to be a part of your religion.

01:36:22.660 I don't have to be a part of your relationship, whether it's heterosexual, homosexual.

01:36:29.060 I don't have to be a part of it.

01:36:30.500 I don't have to be a part of your faith, your church.

01:36:33.900 I don't have to leave me alone.

01:36:36.400 I will leave you alone.

01:36:39.320 What's what, what, why can we not get this?

01:36:42.760 Way too much.

01:36:43.300 It is.

01:36:43.880 I was amazed at all the conservative sites celebrating the ruling.

01:36:47.520 I don't think so.

01:36:49.280 It wasn't that great.

01:36:50.020 I think it wasn't that great.

01:36:52.120 Can we talk about this one more time?

01:36:54.360 I really think that what happened here was the Supreme Court saying, no, dummy, don't,

01:37:04.580 don't make fun of the religious stuff.

01:37:08.560 Ask them seriously.

01:37:11.140 Think about it a while and then say no.

01:37:14.880 I mean, I think you can come away with that conclusion.

01:37:17.640 I mean, you could also come away with the conclusion of, look, Colorado really did a bad job and

01:37:22.780 they're saying just that they did a bad job and you have to take it seriously.

01:37:25.740 Well, that's what I mean.

01:37:26.580 Right.

01:37:26.720 But yeah, but it does send that signal, right?

01:37:29.040 Yeah, it's a signal.

01:37:29.780 It does.

01:37:30.000 It means just don't do a bad job on this.

01:37:31.920 You could absolutely come to the same conclusion, just not the way you did it.

01:37:35.000 And why won't the Supreme Court rule on the religious liberty issue?

01:37:39.320 Why don't you just make the ruling?

01:37:41.940 It's so easy.

01:37:42.780 Yeah.

01:37:43.400 It's in black and white in the Constitution.

01:37:45.400 It's so easy.

01:37:46.720 Just make the ruling.

01:37:47.820 Right now, you have people in the media saying Donald Trump cannot pardon himself.

01:37:54.580 Well, he cannot pardon himself from impeachment that if he's impeached, he's out.

01:38:01.840 If he's convicted, he's out.

01:38:03.540 He cannot pardon himself from that.

01:38:05.640 Can he pardon himself for a crime?

01:38:10.060 There's nothing in the Constitution that says he cannot.

01:38:13.540 There's everything in the Constitution that says he can pardon anyone he wants.

01:38:17.820 So it doesn't specifically say he can't pardon him.

01:38:21.620 Now, it seems pretty slimy if a president is like, I'm going to pardon myself.

01:38:27.100 But there's no answer on that one.

01:38:29.920 Everybody in the press is insisting that he cannot pardon himself.

01:38:36.100 I don't think he would.

01:38:37.820 No.

01:38:38.580 I don't think a president should.

01:38:40.880 But could he?

01:38:42.880 I don't know.

01:38:43.560 Maybe.

01:38:44.700 Constitutionally, maybe.

01:38:46.080 It's definitely an open question and there's no resolution to it.

01:38:49.380 We know you're right.

01:38:50.380 Impeachment is one limitation and it's only federal crimes.

01:38:53.820 Yes.

01:38:54.100 Like it's a state level crime.

01:38:55.800 Theoretically, he could not pardon himself from.

01:38:57.560 That being said, I think honestly, he could.

01:39:00.220 I think he could do it.

01:39:01.620 I think he could.

01:39:02.460 I think in theory, he could.

01:39:04.880 I think he'd be suicidal if he did.

01:39:07.540 But I think he could.

01:39:08.940 You know, I don't know if that's true.

01:39:11.540 Well, it might not be now.

01:39:13.760 I don't think it is suicidal as far as your base goes.

01:39:16.620 I think by the time you went through that entire process, you're talking multiple years.

01:39:20.620 You'd have your base so convinced it was completely unfair that I don't even think they'd care.

01:39:25.080 Yeah, maybe.

01:39:26.080 And I mean that from both parties.

01:39:27.700 I want to go back to SCOTUS.

01:39:29.220 I mean, here's the media telling us where shall not infringe.

01:39:38.780 Okay.

01:39:39.540 They will make no laws respecting than establish of religion.

01:39:44.540 Or prohibiting the free exercise.

01:39:45.960 Right.

01:39:46.900 Right.

01:39:47.300 It is that clear.

01:39:48.860 That clear.

01:39:50.140 They are crystal clear on whether the president could pardon himself when the Constitution is anything but clear.

01:39:56.460 Here, the Constitution is 100% clear.

01:40:01.100 And they find ambiguity.

01:40:03.300 I mean, you just can't.

01:40:04.620 Words are not rubber.

01:40:06.140 They're just not.

01:40:08.640 Clarence Thomas is the only one doing this job.

01:40:10.900 I mean, I really, let's be honest about it.

01:40:12.760 Because even the other justices that went on along with this, Thomas wrote a separate concurrence, which Gorsuch joined, by the way.

01:40:19.900 So Thomas and Gorsuch, give him a lot of credit here.

01:40:21.920 But he went through and actually took on the case.

01:40:23.760 He's the only one that actually did the actual job that he was supposed to do there.

01:40:27.580 Listen to this.

01:40:28.480 Consider what Phillips, the baker, actually said to the individual respondents in this case.

01:40:32.720 After sitting down with them for a consultation, Phillips told the couple, quote,

01:40:36.060 I'll make your birthday cakes, shower cakes, sell you cookies, and brownies.

01:40:39.920 I just don't make cakes for same-sex weddings.

01:40:42.180 It's hard to see how this statement stigmatizes gays and lesbians more than blocking them from marching in a city parade,

01:40:48.160 dismissing them from the Boy Scouts, or subjecting them to signs that say God hates the F word,

01:40:54.540 all of which this court has deemed protected by the First Amendment.

01:40:58.500 So if those things are protected by the First Amendment, you're telling me saying,

01:41:01.640 ah, yeah, I don't want to make your cake, is not?

01:41:03.800 Moreover, it's also hard to see how Phillips' statement is worse than the racist, demeaning,

01:41:08.460 and even threatening speech towards blacks that this court has tolerated in previous decisions.

01:41:13.880 Concerns about dignity and stigma did not carry the day when this court affirmed the right of white supremacists

01:41:19.360 to burn a 25-foot cross, conduct a rally on Martin Luther King Jr.'s boulevard,

01:41:24.520 or circulate a film featuring a hooded Klan members who were brandishing weapons

01:41:29.140 and threatening to bury the N-words.

01:41:32.140 That's all protected, but you have to be forced to make a cake?

01:41:36.640 Wow, that's amazing.

01:41:37.880 Again, Clarence Thomas is the most important person in America, period.

01:41:43.960 He is the only one there.

01:41:46.200 I mean, he's not the only one, but he's the best one, and he continues to do an amazing job.

01:41:52.140 Okay, so now we have that bakery, but I think that's going to open up all kinds of problems for other bakeries.

01:41:58.880 However, in the realm of Starbucks, which was interesting that Schultz left yesterday, wasn't it?

01:42:04.420 In the realm of Starbucks, employees had been fired at yet another bakery because of discrimination.

01:42:12.740 In Northeast Portland, they were fired because a black woman came in, and they told her that they were closed.

01:42:21.780 And they were closed.

01:42:22.760 Unbelievable.

01:42:23.160 So they were open, and they just closed the doors on her because she was black.

01:42:26.180 Typical.

01:42:26.280 They were actually closed.

01:42:27.480 It was 9.

01:42:28.140 They closed at 9.

01:42:29.140 It was 9.06.

01:42:30.980 It was 9.06.

01:42:31.580 And so she came in because she was still helping some whiteys, and they had ordered before closing time, however.

01:42:39.280 So they were finishing up their order.

01:42:40.980 Yeah, but I mean, if another white person would have walked in after 9 o'clock, they would have said it.

01:42:44.680 Yes!

01:42:45.360 Thank you, Glenn.

01:42:46.160 Thank you.

01:42:46.760 Okay, whitey, come on over here.

01:42:48.160 That didn't happen.

01:42:49.280 Two white women walked in before the black woman.

01:42:52.120 And they served them.

01:42:52.980 And they served them.

01:42:53.660 9.04.

01:42:54.700 And they were also told they were closed.

01:42:57.840 They were closed.

01:42:58.340 They were closed.

01:42:58.820 So, because they were insensitive to the black woman, though, they were fired.

01:43:04.420 They were fired?

01:43:06.020 They were fired.

01:43:06.880 And it's interesting because...

01:43:08.460 Wait, were they insensitive to the white woman?

01:43:10.300 The two white women?

01:43:11.640 No, apparently not.

01:43:13.220 No, okay.

01:43:13.760 Apparently not.

01:43:14.320 All right, okay.

01:43:15.780 They were fired, even though the employees were not being racist, admittedly, by the owner.

01:43:22.960 They were not being racist.

01:43:23.960 And they were following the business's protocol of closing at 9 o'clock.

01:43:29.840 But they were fired anyway because sometimes impact outweighs intent.

01:43:34.800 And what are you going to do about that?

01:43:36.320 I mean...

01:43:36.880 Impact outweighs intent?

01:43:38.540 What was the impact?

01:43:39.620 The impact was that the black woman felt bad.

01:43:43.620 And their intent wasn't to hurt her feelings, but apparently they did.

01:43:47.040 It doesn't matter that they hurt her.

01:43:48.120 It doesn't matter.

01:43:48.680 That the intent was.

01:43:49.560 No, it doesn't matter what the intent was.

01:43:51.420 Did they hurt the feelings of the white people?

01:43:53.620 The white people I have not seen come forward, and we don't really care about those two.

01:43:57.700 Okay, so how do we know that the black person's feelings were hurt?

01:44:02.280 Because she is a black activist, and she made her feelings known.

01:44:05.960 Ah!

01:44:07.000 In fact, she's known in the area as a professional equity activist.

01:44:13.600 Ah!

01:44:13.860 A what now?

01:44:14.600 A professional equity activist.

01:44:17.000 So her job is to be an activist for equity?

01:44:21.000 So you've got to wonder, did she come in at 9.06 after the business closed on purpose so that she could...

01:44:27.640 Or was she just running late, like sometimes people do?

01:44:31.020 But then when they said that, she thought, you don't know who I am.

01:44:34.780 You're not going to mess with me.

01:44:35.820 Could be that too.

01:44:36.460 I need my loaf of bread and my cupcakes.

01:44:39.640 And so she left, and I'm going to teach those people a lesson, and she did.

01:44:44.100 So the impact is not that she felt bad.

01:44:46.800 The impact is, once again, someone chose the wrong target.

01:44:53.460 Yeah.

01:44:54.140 It wasn't a target.

01:44:54.920 If it was not, no, but if it was a non-activist, like these two people should have known, okay, well, it's an activist.

01:45:04.200 No.

01:45:05.240 If it was a regular person, black, white, yellow, doesn't matter, a regular person who has a life would be like, oh, sorry.

01:45:14.460 Yeah.

01:45:15.160 You know what I mean?

01:45:15.700 You might even be like, you know what?

01:45:17.260 Come on.

01:45:17.640 I just need a loaf of bread.

01:45:19.440 I'm sorry.

01:45:20.420 No, I can't.

01:45:21.100 I got to close.

01:45:21.680 Okay.

01:45:22.020 All right.

01:45:22.800 You might even be pissed a little bit, but you're pissed at yourself because you were running late.

01:45:28.840 Yeah.

01:45:29.320 I've gone into places where it closes at, let's say, 10 o'clock, and it's like 940.

01:45:34.500 And they're like, yeah, it's too close to closing.

01:45:36.960 I'm up to.

01:45:37.760 Am I annoyed?

01:45:39.380 Do I internally punish that business by saying, you know, I'm not going back there?

01:45:44.940 You know?

01:45:45.560 Yeah.

01:45:46.020 It kind of annoys me, and maybe I don't go back there next time.

01:45:48.960 But, I mean, not because of...

01:45:51.280 Again, you're the one assigning the racial intent here.

01:45:55.120 And, in fact, the business, in this case, seems to even acknowledge it was not racist.

01:45:59.340 Yeah, they did.

01:45:59.880 But, yet again, they get fired.

01:46:01.240 So, what are you doing?

01:46:01.840 What are you doing?

01:46:02.580 So, I think you're saying that as long as minorities want to come into your place of business, you can't close.

01:46:07.540 As long as minorities want to do anything or any protected class, you cannot stop them.

01:46:14.100 Right.

01:46:15.800 That's where we are right now.

01:46:16.900 It's chaos.

01:46:17.320 That's where we are.

01:46:18.520 It is chaos.

01:46:19.920 One last question.

01:46:21.600 Schultz leaving.

01:46:23.520 Any...

01:46:24.960 Any...

01:46:26.800 He's the CEO of Starbucks?

01:46:28.300 Yeah.

01:46:28.580 Any thoughts that this...

01:46:30.220 I think he's setting up a presidential run.

01:46:32.700 It does seem that way.

01:46:33.680 He's hinting towards it, for sure.

01:46:34.980 And the way he dealt with this most recent thing, which was patently absurd, right?

01:46:41.140 I mean, the fact that he closed all of his restaurants because two guys came into one of his stores and said they wanted to sit there without buying anything.

01:46:51.320 They called the cops.

01:46:52.240 And the cops are the ones that were...

01:46:53.380 Not Starbucks.

01:46:54.180 The cops are the ones that removed them.

01:46:56.260 Starbucks doesn't get to boss the cops around and say, please arrest these people.

01:46:59.460 That's not how it works.

01:47:01.180 And yet he closed all the restaurants and did this penance, which was bizarre.

01:47:06.680 It certainly signifies that he's trying to show you how much he cares about these topics that are important to Democrat voters.

01:47:14.120 One more big name that thought they were going to run for president, Mark Zuckerberg.

01:47:19.660 How is his empire burning down to the ground?

01:47:23.600 You know, just a year ago, two years ago, people would, on the left, would be like, I don't know, Mark Zuckerberg, he might run, blah, blah, blah.

01:47:30.440 This guy would never run.

01:47:32.080 You would never trust.

01:47:33.440 Big data?

01:47:34.900 You would never trust that guy.

01:47:37.980 With Facebook the way it is right now?

01:47:41.020 Uh, no, I don't, I don't, no, I don't think so.

01:47:45.580 You disagree, Stu?

01:47:47.260 The second they thought he could knock off Donald Trump, they'd embrace him wholeheartedly.

01:47:51.180 It's just a matter of whether they think they can get him there.

01:47:53.580 I'm not talking about the political people.

01:47:55.400 I think average person.

01:47:57.640 I don't think, I don't know.

01:47:58.640 The average person's still on Facebook, right?

01:48:01.140 Like, what have they done?

01:48:02.180 I mean, yeah, I think it's honestly more of a media creation.

01:48:05.040 They do this whole thing about fake news and they make this big deal about it.

01:48:07.680 Well, people are clicking yes to these pages.

01:48:10.580 They're not the ones that want them limited.

01:48:12.880 They want, they want to get the, the, the information that they want to access.

01:48:15.960 You know, we talked about this with art.

01:48:16.960 We're going to, every, every media company is going through this right now.

01:48:20.000 But like, if you're a big fan of the blaze, you might not be getting these posts, the posts

01:48:23.340 that go up there, glenbeck.com.

01:48:24.860 If you're following Glenn, you might not be getting the posts going up there because Facebook's

01:48:29.220 trying to limit the amount of news generally that people are getting.

01:48:32.980 Right.

01:48:33.240 You have to actually seek it out and change your settings.
