The Glenn Beck Program - Michelle Obama & the DNC ｜ Guests： Bjorn Lomborg & Steven Crowder ｜ 8⧸18⧸20

00:00:00.000 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:00:03.980 There is no way we're going to get to.

00:00:07.000 I don't think we're going to get past Michelle Obama's speech today.

00:00:09.980 I don't think we're going to get past that.

00:00:12.000 It was too wonderful for you.

00:00:13.100 Oh, it's too great.

00:00:14.200 Too great.

00:00:15.000 All right.

00:00:15.640 Let me tell you about rough greens.

00:00:18.200 If you love your dog as much as we love ours, you consider your dog a part of the family

00:00:23.480 and you want them to have a long and happy life.

00:00:27.640 And I've lost too many dogs.

00:00:30.120 It is so painful every time you lose an animal because they're not our pets.

00:00:37.060 They're not our pets.

00:00:38.040 They're our friends and family.

00:00:39.560 So you want to have the best health and the best life.

00:00:43.920 Put a supplement in their food that they love, will help them eat and help them stay active

00:00:49.920 and young.

00:00:50.860 It's a supplement called rough greens, and it's jam packed with vitamins and minerals and

00:00:56.240 antioxidants and omega oils and probiotics, all of the things that will promote health

00:01:01.240 for your dog.

00:01:02.600 All of these things are not in, especially if you're feeding your dog dry kibble.

00:01:06.820 It's not in dry kibble.

00:01:08.520 You need to put this.

00:01:09.500 It comes in a sealed bag because it's alive and it's all the things your dog needs.

00:01:15.140 Give your dog rough greens and see the difference in your dog.

00:01:19.180 And especially if you have a dog that doesn't like to eat their food, they will gobble the

00:01:24.540 food.

00:01:25.120 I mean, it's crazy how much they love this stuff.

00:01:27.900 Rough greens dot com slash back.

00:01:29.820 What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:54.980 You know, you've got to love Michelle Obama speaking from her 11 million dollar home right

00:02:05.760 on the Atlantic, which, of course, I mean, that island is going to be underwater soon.

00:02:12.440 Could be in five years.

00:02:13.920 We don't know.

00:02:14.600 I don't think we're going to get past the Michelle Obama speech today as we cover what

00:02:20.080 happened last night with the Democrats between that and opening with the national anthem.

00:02:26.520 Oh, OK, we begin there.

00:02:31.780 And this hour, Stephen Crowder.

00:02:34.820 We begin in 60 seconds.

00:02:37.400 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:02:40.540 So let me ask you, how's your financial health doing right now?

00:02:43.720 It's a critical thing to pay attention to, especially with the future being so uncertain.

00:02:48.640 You need to be asking yourself, what are some of the things I can do to save money?

00:02:52.840 How can I cut some of the monthly costs that's already draining my bank account?

00:02:57.380 Well, if you're a homeowner, one of the best things you can do is explore a refi of your

00:03:01.680 mortgage, refinancing the mortgage interest rates hovering in the four percent range.

00:03:06.900 Not that long ago.

00:03:07.980 Now we're talking now we're talking about in the three percent range and there's talk about

00:03:14.280 it going down into the twos.

00:03:16.180 You can save hundreds of dollars, especially if you roll in your high interest debt, credit

00:03:22.480 card debt.

00:03:57.380 Oh, my gosh.

00:03:58.460 When the when they started with the do we have the national anthem from the DNC last night?

00:04:04.580 Oh, my.

00:04:05.480 When this hit, I thought I was going to lose my mind.

00:04:14.340 Oh, look.

00:04:16.280 And nobody's kneeling.

00:04:17.840 Nobody's.

00:04:18.620 That's fantastic.

00:04:19.800 OK, stop.

00:04:24.860 I can't take it.

00:04:25.720 So you knew you were in for a very long night of agony, a very long night of programming.

00:04:31.900 Honestly, Sesame Street has a higher standard.

00:04:37.420 Sesame for education.

00:04:39.260 Sesame Street has a higher standard. 1.00

00:04:41.800 This thing was jam packed with information for absolute morons and idiots. 1.00

00:04:49.800 You start with the national anthem. 1.00

00:04:52.420 An educated person says, how can you start with the national anthem?

00:04:55.520 Because everybody's taking a knee.

00:04:57.340 You guys aren't defending the national anthem.

00:04:59.620 You guys are saying that the national anthem is racist.

00:05:02.520 So how are you doing that without any self-awareness?

00:05:06.660 They're totally self-aware. 1.00

00:05:08.680 They are programming to morons. 1.00

00:05:11.080 They don't think you're aware of it. 1.00

00:05:14.300 They don't think you know anything that's going on.

00:05:17.300 And the people that will buy this don't.

00:05:20.900 So you have to watch it in a different way.

00:05:23.120 Like Michelle Obama's speech.

00:05:25.860 I'm going to try to get through.

00:05:27.080 I just have, I think, 10 pieces of her audio to get through.

00:05:30.440 I don't think I can do it.

00:05:33.620 When you listen to Michelle Obama, first of all, the worst thing anyone can do on the right is tear Michelle Obama apart as a person or anything else, because she is so light.

00:05:48.120 That's different than likable.

00:05:50.880 You don't have to like her.

00:05:52.220 You don't even have to understand how other people like her.

00:05:54.780 But you need to understand how liked she is.

00:06:01.620 We don't feel this way because I'm sure she's a wonderful person if you agreed with her.

00:06:07.920 So I don't feel this way because I know so much about her.

00:06:12.160 I know that she doesn't love America.

00:06:14.720 She said the first time she was ever proud of her nation was when Barack Obama was elected.

00:06:21.280 The first time she was proud of her nation.

00:06:25.500 We have heard too many off camera comments from her.

00:06:29.080 I know who she hung out with.

00:06:30.900 I know her Marxist friends.

00:06:32.980 I know who she went to church with for 20 some years.

00:06:36.620 There's no way you can have the kind of love and appreciation for this country that maybe you have.

00:06:42.760 Now, maybe she appreciates it in a whole different way.

00:06:45.520 Like it's a great place to start all over again.

00:06:49.120 Maybe.

00:06:52.500 But we see her differently because we've been educated.

00:06:57.440 We've paid attention.

00:06:59.100 So let's listen to her speech.

00:07:00.880 Here's cut one.

00:07:02.160 Good evening, everyone.

00:07:04.360 It's a hard time and everyone's feeling it in different ways.

00:07:09.500 I don't like it so far.

00:07:10.260 And I know a lot of folks are reluctant to tune into a political convention right now or to politics in general.

00:07:16.860 Stop.

00:07:17.300 Believe me, I get.

00:07:18.220 Why do you hate it so far?

00:07:20.960 I just don't get it.

00:07:24.440 I know everyone thinks she's amazing and she's this incredible person and she's the most beautiful woman that's ever walked the face of the earth.

00:07:35.000 She's an average person.

00:07:36.500 She's like there's nothing wrong with being average looking.

00:07:39.720 But that's just what she is.

00:07:41.220 She's an average looking person who does who. 1.00

00:07:44.600 So who again, like I watch her speeches and I feel like I'm in another universe.

00:07:50.260 I watch every blue check on Twitter say how it was the most amazing thing they've ever seen.

00:07:55.060 And I look at it and I'm like that was that looked like the wife of a politician trying really hard to read a speech who was written by a pretty good speech writer.

00:08:08.860 And she's overacting it and overdoing it.

00:08:13.240 And she's not really great at this, but like, hey, let's get nice work out separating her from who she is and what we know about her and her politics. 1.00

00:08:22.520 Like, I just don't see her as this amazing, transformative person.

00:08:26.340 She has everyone else does. 0.81

00:08:27.840 OK, she has a way. 0.98

00:08:28.960 Now, remember, talking two different things, the way you see it and the way the half of the country sees her.

00:08:35.040 They have not been exposed, nor have they listened to all of the things that make you go.

00:08:41.360 She is not telling the truth here.

00:08:43.800 She's not telling the truth.

00:08:45.760 That's part of it.

00:08:47.220 So it's part of it.

00:08:47.940 But she hasn't said anything yet.

00:08:49.140 All she said was, you probably don't want to tune into a convention.

00:08:53.280 I was like, oh, she also says all of the things.

00:08:58.680 Now, this is a speech writer saying all of the things that everybody feels.

00:09:02.860 And she has a way.

00:09:05.180 She is good at one thing.

00:09:06.640 She can look into the camera and connect with an individual.

00:09:10.780 Maybe not you, but she can connect.

00:09:13.920 And that's a very rare skill.

00:09:16.740 And I do think she has that.

00:09:18.480 She seems overacting to me.

00:09:20.840 But if you're not predisposed to think she's a fraud.

00:09:27.760 You may not feel that from her.

00:09:30.400 All right.

00:09:31.180 Continue.

00:09:32.160 I get that.

00:09:33.880 But I am here tonight because I love this country with all my heart.

00:09:38.720 And it pains me to see so many people hurting.

00:09:42.600 I've met so many of you.

00:09:45.640 I've heard your stories.

00:09:48.040 And through you, I have seen this country's promise.

00:09:52.600 And thanks to so many who came before me, thanks to their toil and sweat and blood,

00:09:59.200 I've been able to live that promise myself.

00:10:02.280 That's the story of America. 0.71

00:10:06.640 Wow.

00:10:07.200 All those folks who sacrificed and overcame so much in their own times because they wanted something more,

00:10:15.120 something better for their kids.

00:10:16.720 There's a lot of beauty in that story.

00:10:21.140 There's a lot of pain in it, too.

00:10:23.420 A lot of struggle and injustice and work left to do.

00:10:27.920 Okay.

00:10:28.260 And I have to tell you, I, what, what, you see, this is the problem.

00:10:37.080 They say things they don't mean, because if you meant that we wouldn't have a problem.

00:10:45.680 Yes, there's a lot of pain.

00:10:47.400 And let's work through that pain.

00:10:50.260 But that's not what's being said.

00:10:51.920 And what's being said, there is no beauty in the people that struggled in their own time, as she said,

00:11:00.460 in their own time to make life better for their children.

00:11:05.540 They did in their own time.

00:11:08.640 Their times were different.

00:11:09.960 So they didn't meet today's standards, but they moved the flag forward.

00:11:14.940 And now it's our job to move the flag forward even more.

00:11:18.680 But that's not what the left is saying.

00:11:22.040 That's not what the Democratic Party stands for anymore.

00:11:25.560 They call for the destruction of America, a rewriting of our history,

00:11:31.980 a washing us of everyone in their time that was trying to do the right thing for their children.

00:11:41.080 That's a real problem.

00:11:43.240 Now, let's go to SOT2.

00:11:45.320 Listen to this.

00:11:46.660 Tell me who she's describing.

00:11:47.700 I am one of a handful of people living today who have seen firsthand the immense weight

00:11:55.400 and awesome power of the presidency.

00:11:58.440 And let me once again tell you this.

00:12:02.620 The job is hard.

00:12:04.920 It requires clear-headed judgment, a mastery of complex and competing issues,

00:12:11.600 a devotion to facts and history, a moral compass and an ability to listen,

00:12:19.000 and an abiding belief that each of the 330 million lives in this country has meaning and worth.

00:12:30.520 Okay.

00:12:31.300 All right.

00:12:31.720 Okay.

00:12:32.000 Stop.

00:12:32.560 Stop.

00:12:35.720 Now, remember, she's giving the speech for Joe Biden.

00:12:39.260 So let me just go through this.

00:12:40.680 She's seen it firsthand.

00:12:41.900 Immense weight and awesome power of the presidency.

00:12:44.000 She's seen it.

00:12:44.620 Can we say real quick, this country is not supposed to have an awesomely powerful president.

00:12:49.580 That's not how it's supposed to work.

00:12:50.600 Yes.

00:12:51.240 But she's seen that.

00:12:52.380 Yes, she has.

00:12:53.020 She's seen that.

00:12:53.740 Let me once again tell you this.

00:12:55.120 The job is hard.

00:12:56.100 Agree?

00:12:57.000 Sure.

00:12:57.440 Yes.

00:12:58.240 It requires clear-headed judgment.

00:13:01.460 Does Joe Biden have clear-headed judgment?

00:13:05.140 How could anyone say that with a straight face?

00:13:08.120 Can't.

00:13:08.460 How?

00:13:08.860 Can't.

00:13:09.800 A mastery of complex and competing issues.

00:13:14.220 He can't even get to multiple syllable words at this point.

00:13:17.320 He might have five years ago, ten years ago, certainly did when he was,

00:13:22.780 with Barack Obama at the beginning, certainly did.

00:13:27.200 Now?

00:13:28.300 No.

00:13:29.100 A devotion of facts and history?

00:13:32.440 No one on the left has that.

00:13:34.600 Biden didn't even have that back when he was going with Obama.

00:13:37.300 I remember the, what was it, FDR and the television?

00:13:39.640 Yeah, right.

00:13:40.040 I mean, he just didn't have it.

00:13:41.380 And if I may, a devotion of facts and history.

00:13:43.980 Let me go back to Michelle Obama in 2008.

00:13:47.960 And Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices.

00:13:51.160 We are going to have to change our conversation.

00:13:54.540 We're going to have to change our traditions, our history.

00:13:57.600 We're going to have to move into a different place.

00:14:00.680 So we're going to have to change our history.

00:14:02.300 So a devotion of facts and history.

00:14:05.140 Does she really mean that?

00:14:07.000 And does Joe Biden have that?

00:14:08.800 A moral compass, a guy whose son has built with his dad millions of dollars through gun-running,

00:14:21.480 drug lord, you know, mafioso-style people in Ukraine, 0.99

00:14:26.280 and gotten deeply in bed with the Communist Chinese Party and made millions of dollars.

00:14:32.840 Is that a moral compass that you think he has?

00:14:37.220 I'm not saying, let's not, we don't have to compare.

00:14:39.360 We could say, Donald Trump, just assume, haven't seen it, but just assume, 0.99

00:14:43.120 oh, his kids are dirty as hell, too. 0.98

00:14:45.280 Well, A, haven't seen that evidence. 0.99

00:14:47.440 But, B, we're talking about Michelle Obama saying we need a moral compass.

00:14:54.740 Does Joe Biden have that moral compass?

00:14:57.720 Oh, and an ability to listen.

00:14:59.820 The only reason why he's listening is because he can't speak anymore.

00:15:04.220 I mean, who is she describing here?

00:15:07.440 I mean, it's almost as if she's just, she's making the case that they should not nominate Joe Biden.

00:15:13.180 It's almost like she's saying, like, you know what,

00:15:15.120 at least you give the job to me or Kamala or somebody else.

00:15:17.720 You know, it's almost like she says, look, you know me, and I've seen it.

00:15:22.640 Job's hard.

00:15:23.260 We're clear-headed judgment, mastery of complex and competing issues,

00:15:26.640 devotion of facts and history, a moral compass, and an ability to listen.

00:15:30.560 That's why we picked Kamala to be on the ticket, because she's got that. 1.00

00:15:36.860 Joe has lost it a long time ago, but he's not really going to be president.

00:15:40.680 You can, with a straight face, make that statement about Joe Biden.

00:15:47.200 All right, we're going to pick it up.

00:15:49.420 I've got two.

00:15:50.440 I'm only up to two.

00:15:51.580 We've got 12.

00:15:52.320 And Steven Crowder is coming up in just a second.

00:15:55.280 So stand by for that.

00:15:56.680 It's always entertaining to have Steven on.

00:15:59.680 All right, SimpliSafe.

00:16:43.520 this white family, where this mob just stopped in front of their house and started taunting them

00:16:51.160 and telling these white people to get out and they should give them their house.

00:17:26.080 Head to SimpliSafeBeck.com and get a free HD security camera.

00:17:30.200 That's SimpliSafeBeck.com.

00:17:33.840 10 seconds, station ID.

00:17:46.620 Sought four, please.

00:17:48.120 Here is Michelle Obama from last night.

00:17:50.900 And here at home, as George Floyd, Breonna Taylor,

00:17:56.380 and a never-ending list of innocent people of color continue to be murdered,

00:18:02.660 stating the simple fact that a Black Life Matters is still met with derision from the nation's highest office.

00:18:10.960 Office.

00:18:11.840 No, it's not, Michelle.

00:18:14.200 It's really not.

00:18:15.540 First of all, you named two people and then said,

00:18:20.580 and a never-ending list of innocent people of color that continue to be murdered.

00:18:26.780 I don't know if you've seen the murder list of Black people. 0.81

00:18:30.580 They do, but they seem to be murdered by other Black people, not the police. 0.99

00:18:36.780 Have you noticed that?

00:18:38.260 It's very much of an end to the list.

00:18:40.360 There is.

00:18:40.920 Nine in one year is what the end of that list was.

00:18:44.080 For the police.

00:18:44.640 For the police.

00:18:45.040 For the police.

00:18:45.900 Yeah.

00:18:46.420 This idea that you can just string together, in this case,

00:18:49.800 she didn't even go as far as they normally do with five or six names.

00:18:52.200 Yeah.

00:18:52.780 Two.

00:18:53.920 Listing a few names is not an argument.

00:18:55.720 No.

00:18:56.080 Especially when some of us usually go to five or six names and they start naming people

00:18:59.620 who are like attacking the police at the time of the shooting.

00:19:02.880 Right.

00:19:04.040 And then stating the simple fact that Black Lives Matter is still met with derision from

00:19:07.960 the nation's highest office.

00:19:09.520 Black Lives Matter.

00:19:12.660 Registered trademark.

00:19:14.820 Black Lives Matter.

00:19:17.160 Inc.

00:19:18.060 It is a company.

00:19:20.960 It's not a movement.

00:19:22.120 It's a literal company.

00:19:24.200 We can say that Black Lives Matter.

00:19:29.000 Absolutely.

00:19:29.920 They do.

00:19:30.680 Absolutely.

00:19:31.520 They do.

00:19:31.960 But when you say Black Lives Matter, that's a registered trademark for a company.

00:19:39.060 It's like saying, you know, just do it.

00:19:43.780 Just do it.

00:19:45.020 Oh, my gosh.

00:19:47.260 When it's met by with derision from from Adidas.

00:19:53.100 Of course, it's a slogan for another company.

00:19:59.100 I disagree with the company.

00:20:02.000 Black Lives Matter.

00:20:03.360 Not the idea.

00:20:04.420 Then she goes on and she says that, you know, we're seeing people shouting in grocery stores,

00:20:10.140 unwilling to wear a mask to keep us all safe.

00:20:13.160 They see people calling the police on folks minding their own business just because of the

00:20:17.040 color of their skin.

00:20:18.460 Excuse me.

00:20:20.140 We are seeing people beat other people because they're not wearing a mask. 0.98

00:20:27.220 We saw a black neighbor go out and shoot a kid point blank. 1.00

00:20:34.420 Why? 0.99

00:20:35.300 Because he was white. 0.73

00:20:37.580 What are you talking about?

00:20:41.580 Then sought five.

00:20:43.740 They see people shouting in grocery stores, unwilling to wear a mask to keep us all safe.

00:20:50.020 They see people calling the police on folks minding their own business just because of the

00:20:56.460 color of their skin.

00:20:58.780 They see an entitlement that says only certain people belong here.

00:21:03.460 I do see that greed is good and winning is everything, because as long as you come out

00:21:08.900 on top, it doesn't matter what happens to everyone.

00:21:11.980 Do you know anybody who says that who believes and they see what happens when that lack of

00:21:16.400 empathy is ginned up into outright disdain?

00:21:20.780 Unbelievable.

00:21:21.120 They see our leaders labeling fellow citizens, enemies of the state, while emboldening torch 0.83

00:21:27.860 bearing white supremacists. 0.80

00:21:29.440 Oh, my gosh. 0.98

00:21:30.500 They watch in horror as children are torn from their families and thrown into cages and pepper

00:21:37.000 spray.

00:21:37.620 Stop.

00:21:38.560 Oh, come on. 0.87

00:21:39.860 Stop.

00:21:41.240 Stop.

00:21:42.000 Your husband built those cages.

00:21:47.260 Your husband built those cages for them to claim at this time.

00:21:56.280 I didn't.

00:21:57.200 What?

00:21:57.680 I didn't know that.

00:21:58.540 I know. 0.99

00:21:59.260 I just saw the pictures is ridiculous, is absolutely ridiculous. 0.93

00:22:05.780 Shows an immense amount of confidence that no one will look into what they've done. 0.96

00:22:11.260 Incredible.

00:22:11.980 Because no one will.

00:22:13.700 Because no one will.

00:22:15.280 There isn't anyone sitting in the in the seat in the national press that is going to say,

00:22:22.720 wait a minute, wait a minute, guys, seeing people in cages.

00:22:26.600 Wait a minute.

00:22:27.360 That the, you know, people are unwilling to wear a mask to keep us all safe.

00:22:32.560 Yeah, we are seeing that.

00:22:34.060 But we're also seeing people beaten.

00:22:36.640 We're for that. 0.99

00:22:38.400 We're seeing white people shot and frightened off the streets because black people and not 1.00

00:22:44.560 all black people, just this small minority of of socialist and Marxist that want a revolution 0.99

00:22:51.300 are saying to white people, you have no place here. 0.97

00:22:54.780 They're literally saying that in the streets.

00:22:58.420 So isn't there some sort of balance?

00:23:02.500 Maybe that this is the Glenn Beck program.

00:23:06.700 Nope.

00:23:07.620 Steven Crowder is coming up next.

00:23:10.200 All right.

00:23:10.580 When I started real estate agents, I trust with my brother, Robert, a number of years ago,

00:23:14.740 I remember I was thinking, helping people like you to avoid having the same kind of bad real

00:23:20.460 estate experiences that Tanya and I have gone through over and over and again.

00:23:25.180 And you know, you know it.

00:23:27.120 You get a real estate agent, somebody who doesn't know exactly what you need.

00:23:31.320 They don't know how to get the house ready to put on the market.

00:23:33.580 They blow up balloons and they say, we're going to have a couple.

00:23:36.220 Please.

00:23:37.500 We need somebody who understands the nuances of price negotiation on the buying end.

00:23:42.140 We need somebody that when we need to fix something, they have that number programmed into their

00:23:47.660 phone.

00:23:48.700 We need to have somebody who understands the urgency of the market right now.

00:23:53.880 And it's a good thing we started it because now things are getting bad in parts of the

00:23:57.520 country and things.

00:23:58.820 If you live in the right parts of the country, things are getting really, really good.

00:24:01.980 So get the right real estate agent, both ends, selling or buying.

00:24:08.440 Go to realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:24:11.240 That's realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:24:13.760 Free service to you.

00:24:15.160 Get the right real estate agent now.

00:24:20.340 And go to blazetv.com slash Glenn.

00:24:22.820 Get the Glenn Beck program.

00:24:24.600 Stu does America.

00:24:25.500 And Steven Crowder.

00:24:26.580 He's coming up next.

00:24:29.720 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:24:31.300 I'm joined now by Steven Crowder, Lace TV host, Louder with Crowder.

00:24:36.260 Did you watch the did did you watch the convention last night, Steven?

00:24:42.080 No, we'll be live streaming Thursday because that's, you know, when Biden and Kamala Harris

00:24:49.000 will be there.

00:24:49.400 But we plan on live streaming every night.

00:24:51.500 And thank God we didn't because nothing happened other than Obama saying that Donald Trump is

00:24:56.000 not good.

00:24:56.520 So, oh, my gosh, it was bad.

00:24:58.180 It was bad.

00:24:58.620 How they opened with the Star Spangled Banner is beyond me.

00:25:01.660 But, Steven, first of all, congratulations on getting re-monetized on YouTube.

00:25:08.900 Let's just say next time we go out for dinner, you're picking up the check.

00:25:13.760 But I can pick up a portion of the hors d'oeuvres.

00:25:17.380 No, no oysters.

00:25:19.660 Let's just, you know, like like some mozzarella sticks.

00:25:21.880 Yeah.

00:25:22.080 I'll make sure it's nice.

00:25:23.180 And I actually wouldn't do that to you because I don't think it's going to last long.

00:25:26.060 How first of all, you have a great attorney.

00:25:29.960 How did this happen and how long do you think it's going to last?

00:25:33.720 Well, to answer the second part, your guess is as good as mine, probably a week.

00:25:38.180 But this has been going on for 14 months.

00:25:40.680 For 14 months, it's been going on with the Vox apocalypse.

00:25:43.100 People need to understand that YouTube changed their rules because we didn't violate any guidelines.

00:25:47.740 Those were the words uttered by the YouTube CEO, Susan Wojcicki herself.

00:25:52.460 So then they changed it and created new guidelines for advertising and then new community guidelines where you can't really insult people.

00:25:58.920 Because, listen, we understand that it's YouTube's playground and we play by the rules.

00:26:03.460 And then they've changed the rules.

00:26:05.040 And then there were some things behind the scenes where they tried to do a little more massaging and tweaking of the rules with which I was no longer comfortable.

00:26:12.140 And now here we are.

00:26:13.960 I sign in and it's a big re-monetized symbol.

00:26:15.780 But the weird thing is, you know, YouTube let us know that we will be re-monetized last Thursday.

00:26:19.780 And everyone knows us at the Blaze because we said, hey, this is going to happen.

00:26:22.840 Don't let anyone know.

00:26:23.980 We're going to announce it Thursday.

00:26:25.280 YouTube requested that.

00:26:26.320 It's just them and us.

00:26:27.520 We're the only ones who know.

00:26:28.860 And lo and behold, two days before that, it gets leaked to The Verge, owned by Vox and their little buddies at Mashable.

00:26:34.840 So I have no idea how that got out.

00:26:37.140 Wow.

00:26:37.480 But, you know, it's life.

00:26:40.500 Well, it wasn't anybody on your staff or our staff that leaked that to Vox.

00:26:47.380 Gee, I wonder how that happened.

00:26:48.800 I thought you have Ezra Klein on speed dial.

00:26:50.920 That's what I was thinking.

00:26:51.740 Let me you did an amazing interview with David Dorn, his wife.

00:27:01.100 David Dorn is the the former police captain in St.

00:27:07.080 Louis that was was guarding and helping out at a pawn shop.

00:27:12.160 And somebody came in to steal a T-shirt and killed him over that really a hair raising and gut wrenching scene.

00:27:21.780 Wasn't really didn't make a difference really to the mainstream media.

00:27:27.640 But anybody who really watched it was touched by this.

00:27:31.600 First of all, how did you how did you get the interview with with his wife?

00:27:37.540 Well, you know, I can't.

00:27:38.280 That's credit to my dad.

00:27:39.380 He's the booker for our show, and that really happened because everyone else was too afraid to book the show.

00:27:43.500 So thanks, dad.

00:27:44.180 So he's gotten a lot of these interviews.

00:27:45.640 You know, Stephen Williford after the Sutherland Springs shooter.

00:27:47.860 Yeah, I can't take credit for it.

00:27:49.600 Really, we've been blessed with that.

00:27:51.200 And to brief people in the story.

00:27:53.180 Yeah, we do have this shirt.

00:27:54.120 It's the David Dorn shirt.

00:27:55.100 You can go to lottowithcrowdershop.com.

00:27:57.100 100 percent of the profits are going to go directly to his family and his wife.

00:28:00.820 Excellent.

00:28:01.720 It was over 30 years that he was with the St.

00:28:03.720 Louis Police Department.

00:28:04.540 But I think the story is more important because he was off duty and he came in.

00:28:09.380 To help a friend to answer a call in distress, a pawn shop that was being looted.

00:28:13.240 And he was shot.

00:28:14.380 He was a black man, black police officer who served a black community for a very long time.

00:28:18.840 Served it well.

00:28:19.600 You can't really find any dirt on this guy, which in 2020 is it's almost impossible.

00:28:23.840 And believe me, we really tried to search to see if there were any skeletons in this closet.

00:28:28.460 No, there was nothing there that we found thus far.

00:28:30.460 You know, no one's perfect.

00:28:31.620 And he was shot over a vizio by another black gentleman in that community.

00:28:36.040 And this is someone, the reason I think it's an important story is not just because it's a black police officer and these people have been left out in the cold.

00:28:41.820 Despite the fact that there are more minorities in the police force than in the general population at large.

00:28:47.080 And that's because they see it as a way to serve their community.

00:28:49.160 We also see over 80% of black Americans who want at least as much police presence, if not more.

00:28:54.700 So Black Lives Matter doesn't speak for them.

00:28:56.160 They just have a megaphone with the media.

00:28:57.720 But this is a man who not only is an example for the black community, but anyone, any young men.

00:29:03.360 I mean, if we want to talk about heroes, a guy who served his community for 30 plus years was answering a call off duty and was shot dead while protecting his neighborhood.

00:29:14.200 That is a hero.

00:29:15.120 And you know why?

00:29:15.780 Because no one would have ever known if he never responded to that call.

00:29:18.240 That wasn't a police call.

00:29:19.640 There was no record of it.

00:29:20.940 No one would have cared.

00:29:21.900 No one would have judged him for staying home in his comfortable bedsheets with a soft pillow.

00:29:26.340 And instead, he was going out doing the right thing.

00:29:29.020 When no one was watching, no one cared.

00:29:31.860 And unfortunately, no one cared after he died in the media.

00:29:35.320 And so we've really tried to take it upon ourselves to make sure that his story gets told.

00:29:39.200 And you know, Glenn, I will say this.

00:29:41.020 I've watched you quite a bit in the past and present.

00:29:44.340 You've had a lot of big interviews.

00:29:45.500 And I always struggle with these because I never want to be, you know, I never want to exploit somebody.

00:29:50.940 Yes.

00:29:51.080 But I also want to ask the questions that I think everyone would like to have answered.

00:29:54.960 I don't want to be Barbara Walters, you know, asking what kind of tree would they would be or Oprah getting them to cry. 0.97

00:30:00.200 Yeah.

00:30:00.360 So it was it's always tough for me.

00:30:02.520 And I hope I struck that balance because I really do admire both the late officer Dorn and his wife, who, by the way, is also a police officer.

00:30:11.040 They were married police officers and they started programs to help youth in their community and even help them enroll in the police force.

00:30:17.760 So when people talk about reforming the police, when people talk about making it better, when people talk about tangible solutions, right, solutions that have observable metrics, these people dedicated their life to it, were shot dead for it.

00:30:30.540 And no one tells their story.

00:30:32.720 So that's a shame.

00:30:34.040 Let me play a couple of clips here.

00:30:37.200 Here she is.

00:30:38.200 This is Sergeant Andorn talking about why her husband's death wasn't covered in the media.

00:30:44.500 Listen, why do you think it is that this story with your husband has received comparatively so little media coverage?

00:30:53.200 And we've done everything that we can, but we're obviously only one show.

00:30:56.060 But the ABC, NBC, CBS, almost nothing.

00:31:00.480 The easiest answer is it doesn't fit their narrative.

00:31:03.280 It doesn't fit the narrative of, you know, a policeman killing a black man. 0.95

00:31:11.780 It doesn't you know, it's a black on black crime. 1.00

00:31:14.500 We have those every day in St. Louis. 0.91

00:31:15.900 And I hate to say that.

00:31:16.640 It's very sad.

00:31:17.420 That's one component that we need to fix with this peace march.

00:31:20.840 And then we need to address, you know, all lives are precious.

00:31:24.120 Right.

00:31:24.300 Every life out there is precious.

00:31:27.280 And he just didn't fit the narrative.

00:31:31.000 Yeah.

00:31:32.260 Then cut to, please.

00:31:35.360 He went out fighting, you know, the good fight, helping people.

00:31:40.280 You know, I believe everything happens for a reason.

00:31:46.540 And, you know, he's going to speak through me.

00:31:49.280 And I'm hoping the reason is to help heal the city, to realize, hey, he didn't have to die.

00:31:54.320 You know, the young man didn't have to pull that trigger.

00:31:56.960 Right.

00:31:57.280 You know, there's alternatives.

00:31:58.580 There was no reason to pull the trigger and take David's life.

00:32:02.740 Yeah.

00:32:04.300 David, you know, David went out honorably, you know, fighting.

00:32:08.900 So I can't I can't ask for anything more.

00:32:12.080 I don't I wouldn't have wanted it to happen that way.

00:32:14.280 I'd like to grow old with him.

00:32:15.520 Right.

00:32:16.300 But if he had to die, this, you know, like this thing, yes.

00:32:22.780 You know, he went out of here and I'm just hoping I can bring meaning to it.

00:32:26.080 And she was very composed up until that, when she started talking about growing old with him.

00:32:35.440 You can tell how much she she loved him.

00:32:39.980 Do you think that there is a problem and racism in the media itself? 0.81

00:32:45.780 The fact that she is white and he is black.

00:32:49.080 Do you think that played a role in this not being covered, Stephen?

00:32:52.860 You know, I don't even know if they got that far along the trail.

00:32:57.340 Wow.

00:32:57.700 I'm just like with the hydroxychloroquine lady who clearly well, who I believe probably knocked off her husband. 0.99

00:33:03.560 They didn't do any research and find out that she was an anti-Trump activist and donor to the DNC.

00:33:08.160 I think this was a story that didn't interest them from the get go.

00:33:10.800 Just like last last night or yesterday when a man was beaten within an inch of his life, dragged out of his truck by Antifa and Black Lives Matter activists.

00:33:18.940 I just don't think that it suits their narrative.

00:33:20.760 And I know that that's a phrase that's used a lot, doesn't suit their narrative.

00:33:25.480 But I don't think it's ever been on more crystal clear display for everyone to see.

00:33:29.600 Because if we're talking about black lives that matter and all black lives do matter and all lives matter.

00:33:34.820 But let's say all black lives matter so that, you know, we're not accused of burning crosses and having a white hood.

00:33:39.300 But if you say all lives matter, but all black lives certainly matter. 0.99

00:33:42.340 Wouldn't it stand to reason to look at the number one cause of death?

00:33:46.200 Number one cause of death for all black males under age 44 is homicide.

00:33:50.460 It's not even close. 0.66

00:33:51.580 Death from police officers doesn't even crack the top of the list. 0.96

00:33:54.020 Do you know that a black police officer, any police officer is actually 18 times more likely to be shot by a black man, a young black man, than he is to shoot them?

00:34:02.240 So if we're talking about, hey, all black lives matter and we want to help the black community, which is what David Dorn and his wife dedicated their entire lives to serve.

00:34:12.520 It wasn't a hashtag.

00:34:13.460 They were doing this when no one was watching before.

00:34:15.520 Hashtags were a thing.

00:34:17.340 We should be talking about how to curb homicide with young black males in the community. 0.89

00:34:22.900 And I want to be clear.

00:34:23.580 I'm not like a Nick Cannon saying that homicide is because of melanin in the skin.

00:34:27.540 You know, he thinks that white folks don't have souls because it's melanin.

00:34:30.060 No, I think we have a spiritual and a culturally broken problem in the United States. 0.96

00:34:35.080 I think it's across all colors.

00:34:36.840 But I think particularly in the black community and David Dorn obviously knew this because he served the youth.

00:34:42.240 They are raised in fatherless households and not only that, but in communities where there aren't other dads.

00:34:48.820 And so you have record numbers of black lives being taken by other young black males.

00:34:55.840 So, Stephen, I've got 90 seconds left.

00:34:58.380 Um, I've seen so many of your change my minds recently.

00:35:03.280 Um, and I, I, I wanted to get a sense from you when it comes to black lives matter, when it comes to Marxism and everything else,

00:35:10.540 are you seeing a turn at all, even a small turn?

00:35:15.540 Or is, is everyone just locked into that, that, you know, black lives matter ink is good?

00:35:25.400 Uh, here's the thing.

00:35:26.760 People hear the term black lives matter, think it's good, right? 1.00

00:35:29.320 If you pull people just like don't kick puppies. 0.59

00:35:31.120 Okay.

00:35:31.340 That's good.

00:35:31.840 When you actually read the demands and you read the history and the charter from black lives matter and their founders,

00:35:36.740 nearly everyone unilaterally disagrees with them.

00:35:39.800 Most of all black Americans.

00:35:42.180 So black lives matter, the idea we're all on board with black lives matter, the organization,

00:35:47.060 just like Antifa is a domestic terror organization, $600 million in property damage,

00:35:51.640 14,000 arrests, 900 officer casualties, over 20 people dead.

00:35:54.900 If you don't call that a riot, I don't know what is.

00:38:13.840 You're saying that voter fraud is a thing, and I'm telling you that it's not.

00:38:18.340 And you're money in the water.

00:38:19.820 Money in the water.

00:38:28.060 interference.

00:38:30.300 Watch The Enemy Within.

00:38:33.080 Tomorrow night, 9 p.m.

00:38:34.500 Eastern, only at BlazeTV.com slash Glenn.

00:38:38.000 So, we're just talking about the convention last night.

00:38:48.280 Big takeaway for you last night, Stu?

00:38:51.040 The most offensive thing of the evening was the fact that they would let Andrew Cuomo get

00:38:55.160 on stage and act as if he's something other than directly from the bowels of hell.

00:39:00.980 So, that part of it, I thought that was a mistake.

00:39:04.860 I mean, look, I think Michelle Obama is going to get the high billing here.

00:39:08.040 Again, I don't understand why people love Lord of the Rings so much.

00:39:12.580 Okay?

00:39:13.160 I don't understand that.

00:39:14.580 Everyone in this audience loves Lord of the Rings, I'm sure.

00:39:17.140 To me, it's a bore fest.

00:39:18.540 I can't get through it.

00:39:19.640 So, maybe I'm just different.

00:39:21.000 And this is why I don't see the Michelle Obama thing that everyone else seems to see.

00:39:26.460 This amazing woman who is transformative in her language and her ability as an orator.

00:39:33.840 I don't get it.

00:39:35.160 I don't see it.

00:39:36.460 But I know everyone else does.

00:39:37.720 So, I guess that's the big moment.

00:39:39.020 But I think you don't dismiss the power of the press and the power of persuasion of the press.

00:39:48.040 Nobody wants to say anything like, she's an average woman. 1.00

00:39:52.440 I mean, it's great and everything.

00:39:53.860 She may have accomplished a lot in her life or whatever.

00:39:55.760 But, like, you know, they make her out to be the most beautiful woman in the world.

00:39:58.420 Look, she's not.

00:39:59.140 She's an average looking woman. 1.00

00:40:00.740 And that's totally fine.

00:40:01.840 And I feel like the same thing is happening here that is happening, like, when they talk about, like, Caitlyn Jenner.

00:40:06.540 Caitlyn Jenner is the most beautiful woman in the world.

00:40:08.280 Well, look, she's not.

00:40:09.420 She looks like the guy who we just saw as Bruce Jenner two weeks ago.

00:40:12.640 Now, it looks like he, I guess he's a woman.

00:40:15.780 And, okay, that's great for his journey.

00:40:17.220 But, like, I'm not going to tell you that I think she's a beautiful woman.

00:40:20.460 Well, I don't think that Michelle Obama looks like a guy in a dress.

00:40:24.200 I mean, to say, to compare the two.

00:40:26.200 Michelle Obama is a very pretty, average woman. 0.99

00:40:30.320 As far as appearance goes.

00:40:31.500 Now, look, I'm way below average.

00:40:33.340 I'm not criticizing this.

00:40:35.500 I'm just saying that we all know we can look at Melania Trump and see someone who's ridiculously beautiful. 0.92

00:40:42.700 Right.

00:40:43.240 Model, supermodel beautiful.

00:40:44.500 Supermodel beautiful.

00:40:45.560 Right.

00:40:45.760 They act as if Michelle Obama is as good looking as Melania Trump or, honestly, much more, much better looking.

00:40:52.960 Yeah. 0.98

00:40:53.060 And it's just, it's just ridiculous. 0.64

00:40:54.860 Okay. 0.98

00:40:55.160 It's just ridiculous.

00:40:56.020 We should all be able to admit the fact that not everyone in politics is beautiful just because you like their policies of higher taxes.

00:41:01.400 That doesn't make them beautiful.

00:41:03.060 Okay.

00:41:03.600 It's okay.

00:41:04.220 She's just average. 0.99

00:41:04.920 That's fine.

00:41:05.320 Wow.

00:41:05.780 If that's what you took as the world burns itself down because of global warming, if that's what you took from it, Stu, it just shows how far out of touch you really are.

00:41:16.980 It's hard not to look at it with all the flames lighting her up.

00:42:40.520 It is it's keeps.

00:42:42.800 If you'd like if you'd like a head of hair like mine and not like Stu's.

00:42:47.580 I don't know why you what's wrong with my hair.

00:42:49.240 I think it looks a wig.

00:42:50.440 It's not a wig.

00:42:51.420 Why would I why would you buy a wig that looks like this?

00:42:56.980 It does nothing.

00:42:59.020 It's just sitting as your hair started to fall out at all.

00:43:01.440 You know, occasionally you get a little bit.

00:43:03.540 I mean, I'm getting older, but so far it's pretty much remaining in place.

00:43:06.940 Thankfully, I will tell you that my dad was bald.

00:43:10.380 So by the time I was maybe seven, I was checking my hair.

00:43:15.060 You can you can do it the old fashioned way.

00:43:17.340 You can go to the doctor.

00:43:18.220 You can sit there with a bunch of people who are like or you could just do it from your home.

00:43:23.400 You take a couple of pictures of your head.

00:43:25.740 You send it in to keeps, K-E-E-P-S dot com.

00:43:30.000 And and they will have a doctor look at that, evaluate and then send you a prescription for the right hair medicine for you.

00:43:39.160 And you'll be able to keep your hair.

00:43:41.080 It's keeps dot com slash save keeps dot com slash save.

00:43:45.500 What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:44:09.740 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:44:15.500 Well, we know this week during the convention, it's going to be agonizing on a lot of fronts.

00:44:21.820 But one of the fronts is climate change.

00:44:24.980 And they're going to say that we're all going to die in the next 10 years.

00:44:27.760 And none of that is true as people who actually care about the planet, actually care about the environment and would like to see politics taken out of it.

00:44:37.200 What can we do?

00:44:38.600 What is nonsense?

00:44:40.260 What is real?

00:44:41.740 We thought we would get Bjorn Lumberg on.

00:44:44.600 He is the the skeptical environmentalist.

00:44:49.920 He is a guy who will take all of the ICP, the IPCC studies and say, let's just take the science at face value now or any of the solutions.

00:45:03.920 What should we prioritize?

00:45:06.920 What should be done?

00:45:08.640 His book is called False Alarm.

00:45:12.000 And he joins us in 60 seconds.

00:45:15.820 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:45:18.460 All right.

00:45:21.700 I want to talk to you a little bit about Norton, whether your kids are going back to school in person or, God forbid, continuing to attend school from home.

00:45:28.720 They're apt to be bringing all sorts of delightful new devices into your home.

00:45:32.460 And it's awesome as if, you know, them suckling new technology hasn't sucked the souls out of them already.

00:45:40.100 You can you can do something about this new devices, smartphones, tablets, laptops can mean real risks to your family's privacy.

00:45:51.540 Your personal information or theirs could be exposed.

00:45:55.240 And mere password protection does not block cyber criminals from hacking into those devices when they're on your home's Wi-Fi.

00:46:02.020 Obviously, you want to keep prying eyes out, especially when it comes to your kids and their safety.

00:46:07.020 The good news is you can help your family stay safe and more private and secure with Norton 360.

00:46:12.840 Norton 360, a real time protection from existing and emerging cyber threats, as well as a VPN and a password manager.

00:46:23.360 Nobody can prevent all cyber crime.

00:46:24.680 But Norton is committed to helping you make back to school easier and safer for your family.

00:46:34.500 That's Norton.com slash back for 60 percent off.

00:46:52.800 Bjorn Lomberg, author of False Alarm, president of the Copenhagen Consensus Center,

00:46:57.800 visiting fellow from the Hoover Institution.

00:47:00.680 I believe he was part of our first climate special that we did at CNN back when CNN actually would have opposing views on kind of.

00:47:12.320 It took everything in them to let us do that special.

00:47:15.580 But I am somebody who I own property out west in the mountains.

00:47:22.020 I believe in the environment.

00:47:24.020 I love trees.

00:47:26.100 I love animals.

00:47:27.240 And I want to keep our our water and our air clean and pure.

00:47:31.780 I don't know of anybody who doesn't care about that.

00:47:34.780 I'm sure they exist, but I don't know anybody who doesn't care about that.

00:47:39.420 The problem seems to be with taking the climate change attitude and then applying it into an emergency panic.

00:47:49.840 Everybody is going to die quickly.

00:47:52.240 And so we have to do this.

00:47:54.260 Well, what should we do?

00:47:55.520 Bjorn Lomberg is joining us now.

00:47:58.540 Bjorn, how are you, sir?

00:47:59.540 Hey, Clint.

00:48:00.620 I'm good.

00:48:01.140 How are you?

00:48:01.640 I'm very good.

00:48:02.480 So we wanted to we wanted to talk to you about a couple of things, the alarmism.

00:48:08.180 But first, who who is this book targeted to?

00:48:13.640 So, look, I talk to a lot of people and very many people are really, really worried about global warming and especially their kids are worried about global warming.

00:48:23.680 Lots of kids are saying, why should I study if there's no future for me because of this?

00:48:27.960 And that certainly is what we're being told.

00:48:30.380 A new survey showed that almost half of the entire global population now believes that global warming will lead to the extinction of the human race.

00:48:41.460 And that is simply crazy.

00:48:44.240 Look, global warming is a real problem.

00:48:46.480 It's something we should fix.

00:48:48.140 But we need to get a sense of proportion.

00:48:50.040 The U.N. climate panel tells us that by the 2070s, the impact of global warming will be equivalent to somewhere between 0.2 and 2 percent reduction in your average income.

00:49:02.560 Remember, by then, the U.N. expect that we'll be two and a half times richer.

00:49:06.920 So instead of being two and a half times richer, we'll be slightly less than two and a half times richer by 2070.

00:49:13.060 If that's a problem, that's not the end of the world.

00:49:16.280 So this book is really to all the people who are worried and, of course, all the people they know who are worried and telling, look, it's a problem, not the end of the world.

00:49:25.300 So you are kind of in the category of Michael Schellenberger, that except you're probably more in line with the IPCC.

00:49:33.180 You take those reports as as gospel and say, look, we're just going to accept this as fact.

00:49:40.080 But then you look for the things that we we can do that will actually make a difference.

00:49:46.380 Would you put yourself kind of in Michael Schellenberger's kind of place?

00:49:51.480 Oh, sure.

00:49:52.120 Sure. And I think there's a lot of people in that camp, because honestly, what that means is you take what the science is telling us there is a problem.

00:50:01.640 But then you also insist we need to look at the economics of climate change and actually take the best science there.

00:50:09.680 And most people don't.

00:50:11.680 Remember, I take my starting point in the guy who actually got the only Nobel Prize in climate economics, William Nordhaus from Yale University.

00:50:21.100 And he says, as do almost everyone in climate economics, that there is a real problem with climate change.

00:50:28.580 So probably in the order of three to four percent GDP by the end of the century.

00:50:33.700 That means if you can fix a substantial part for a low cost, that's a good idea.

00:50:39.180 But it's crazy to try to fix a three to four percent problem by incurring policies that will cost 15 to 30 percent of your GDP.

00:50:50.780 And that's what you're I mean, you did an article in USA Today, climate change, democratic alarmism leads to failing policies.

00:50:57.980 Can you take us through that?

00:50:58.820 Yeah. So, look, the Democrats have a good intention.

00:51:04.340 They are pointing out, look, there's a real problem.

00:51:06.780 But then they go on to say and much to, you know, as you as you pointed out, they believe that this is going to lead to the end of the world in 10 years.

00:51:15.880 And that's just not the case.

00:51:17.700 If it was the case, if this was a, you know, a meteor hurtling towards Earth, the only thing you should be doing would be to worry about global warming.

00:51:26.600 You know, you just throw everything in the kitchen sink.

00:51:29.180 Correct.

00:51:29.720 Send up Bruce Willis and everybody else and, you know, fix that meteor.

00:51:33.620 Right.

00:51:33.860 But the reality is this is a minor problem.

00:51:37.660 It's not a zero problem.

00:51:39.380 It's a three to four percent problem over the next 80 years.

00:51:42.260 And so the risk and what they're clearly suggesting is, you know, we should have no new gasoline cars by 2035 and fossil fuels and power sector in 2040.

00:51:53.500 Basically get the U.S. to net zero.

00:51:56.100 So emit no new CO2 in 2050.

00:52:00.520 That is going to be phenomenally expensive.

00:52:03.860 Remember, we only have one estimate that actually shows how costly that will be.

00:52:08.820 So lots of nations have promised only one nation was brave enough to actually ask.

00:52:14.080 So how much is that going to cost?

00:52:15.620 That was New Zealand. 0.82

00:52:16.620 So, you know, left wing New Zealand actually asked how much is this going to cost them?

00:52:21.300 Their preeminent estimate was this is going to cost us at least 16 percent of our GDP, more likely around 30 percent.

00:52:31.580 Oh, my gosh.

00:52:32.740 That for the U.S. is equivalent to paying five to ten trillion dollars every year.

00:52:38.920 Remember, that's more than what the entire national federal budget is right now.

00:52:45.880 Every year.

00:52:47.300 It's twice that five trillion is twice the revenues of the United States of America.

00:52:52.740 So you tax it's twice the revenues just for that.

00:52:56.520 Yeah.

00:52:56.860 And and remember, it would not fix global warming.

00:53:01.060 It would slightly reduce the impact because most of the problem from global warming does not actually come from rich countries because we've already sort of peaked.

00:53:10.760 And we're increasingly going towards just producing services, which emits very little CO2.

00:53:16.220 But most of the rest of the world.

00:53:17.980 So China, India, Africa, Latin America still want to get rich.

00:53:22.260 They want to get to where we are today.

00:53:24.100 And they will mostly be able to do that by using much more cheap and readily available energy and trying telling them, I'm sorry, you can't do what we did.

00:53:34.520 Unbelievable.

00:53:35.200 You just have to stay poor.

00:53:37.120 Yeah, it's it's it's absolutely irresponsible.

00:53:39.820 But you're not talking about when when you talk to global warming people, the the the zealots, you can't get them to talk about nuclear energy, the cleanest and the safest energy out there.

00:53:52.820 You can't get them to talk about that.

00:53:55.100 You can't talk to them about let's help Africa grow to be a richer and, you know, an industrial nation and go through the industrial revolution.

00:54:06.540 But in a clean way, we can help them get into the 21st century by giving them power.

00:54:14.380 Nobody wants to nobody wants to help them get richer and live our kind of lifestyle.

00:54:20.420 They're trying to just bring everybody down to their lifestyle instead of bringing them up to our lifestyle.

00:54:28.020 There's certainly a lot of truth to that.

00:54:29.820 I actually find that when you confront most people with this, especially well-meaning sort of left leaning people, they also want that.

00:54:38.620 And so you expose in some way a very clear twist in their minds between on the one side, they want to help Africa and the world's poor, but they also want to fix global warming.

00:54:50.300 And, of course, what ends up is very often they throw the Africans under the bus because they care too much about climate change. 0.99

00:54:57.460 Again, if you think it's because it's the end of the world, that makes sense. 1.00

00:55:02.180 But if you actually realize, oh, wait, this is a problem like many others we need to fix, you need to get much smarter on this issue.

00:55:11.080 And that's, of course, one of the reasons also why I wrote this book, that there are actually really smart ways to fix climate, just not the typical ways that we use right now.

00:55:22.680 Talking to Bjorn Lomborg, the book is False Alarm.

00:55:25.240 It's a great one.

00:55:26.400 Bjorn, take us through some of this alarmism.

00:55:28.880 One example you talk about in the book, and I've heard it from a million places, is that it's 170 million people are going to be displaced by climate change coming up fairly soon.

00:55:39.780 And that's what the science says.

00:55:41.160 You go through that claim and kind of show what it actually is trying, the story is trying to tell is a totally different perception.

00:55:48.080 Can you walk us through that one?

00:55:49.900 Yeah.

00:55:50.280 I mean, so, look, if you just look at rising temperatures will mean rising sea levels.

00:55:56.240 That's very simple, and that's very true.

00:55:58.280 Rising sea levels, all other things equal, will mean that more people will get inundated and eventually have to move.

00:56:04.620 And, of course, the more alarmist will tell us, oh, my God, they're all going to drown.

00:56:08.520 But the reality is, of course, we actually adapt.

00:56:12.900 All of these estimates, so one very, very highly quoted estimate said 187 million people are going to get flooded or are going to have to move by the end of the century because of global warming.

00:56:24.640 That assumes no one does anything.

00:56:26.960 So it assumes that everybody sit on the beach and watch as the waves start lapping up over their ankles and knees.

00:56:34.140 And eventually they have to move or they drown.

00:56:37.040 But, of course, in reality, over the next 80 years, we will adapt.

00:56:41.280 We will build better sea defenses.

00:56:43.420 We'll build more dikes. 1.00

00:56:44.520 We'll build more nourished beaches and all these different technologies that we've known since 5,000 or 6,000 years ago.

00:56:52.240 We know how to do this.

00:56:53.940 And that's why all the studies and this particular study that generated headlines across all of the U.S. and Washington Post and around the world, it tells you that if you do nothing, you're going to see 187 million people being displaced.

00:57:08.020 But if you do realistic assessments of what people will do, you will see 305,000 people having to move.

00:57:16.920 Remember, that's half the number of people that move out of California every year.

00:57:21.540 Of course, we can handle that globally over the next 80 years.

00:57:25.520 So you're being told a story that's 600 times more alarming.

00:57:29.280 And that's why you get really scared.

00:57:31.900 And if this was just one single example, maybe it wouldn't matter all that much.

00:57:36.280 But unfortunately, this is almost entirely how we're seeing climate change reported.

00:57:41.840 We're telling you stories that are only true under very specific and very unrealistic assumptions, like you don't do anything, that you don't make any adaptation.

00:57:51.820 And, of course, in real world, you will do.

00:57:54.560 So I want to talk to you, Bjorn Lomborg, when we come back.

00:57:59.700 I want to take a one-minute break.

00:58:00.660 But I want to come back and talk a little bit more about this.

00:58:03.000 For instance, hurricanes and the damage that is being done by hurricanes.

00:58:07.720 There's a real clear reason for that.

00:58:10.680 We'll get into that coming up in just a second.

00:58:13.460 First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

00:59:39.280 Author of the book False Alarm, Bjorn Lomborg.

00:59:43.440 Do you remember being on our special on CNN?

00:59:47.160 Of course I do.

00:59:48.060 It was a pleasure.

00:59:49.420 It was a different time back then.

00:59:53.600 And it's gotten worse because we can't talk about things anymore.

00:59:58.180 And you're immediately called a science denier.

01:00:03.300 And we've always wanted to base everything on science.

01:00:06.580 And I happen to believe that there is climate change.

01:00:11.120 It seems natural to me.

01:00:12.580 It also seems unreasonable to me that man, with all that we have done, is not affecting the earth in some way or another, of course.

01:00:21.100 So I want to get into some of the things that individuals can do, because that's the way it's always pitched.

01:00:26.260 You know, we all have to do everything we can.

01:00:29.740 So let's get to the real things that we can.

01:00:32.300 But before we go there, let's talk about the hurricanes.

01:00:35.280 Hurricanes, and this drives me nuts.

01:00:38.500 People are saying, oh, the cost of hurricanes.

01:00:40.700 Well, hurricanes are going up because we didn't used to live right on the beach.

01:00:44.840 And one of the reasons we didn't live on the beach is because the federal government didn't insure people.

01:00:51.020 You couldn't get insurance for your house if you lived right there on the beach where there's hurricanes.

01:00:56.500 But then the federal government said, oh, we'll insure you.

01:00:59.880 And now there's a right to live on the beach.

01:01:02.780 And, of course, we're doing more damage.

01:01:05.800 Is that reasonable?

01:01:08.040 Well, it's certainly the right way to describe this.

01:01:10.560 So remember, the number of hurricanes hitting the continental U.S. has actually declined since 1900.

01:01:18.040 That's also true for the major hurricanes of Category 3 and over.

01:01:23.400 And exactly what you say, the main reason why damages keep going up is because many more people live much closer to harm's way with much more stuff.

01:01:34.040 So remember, in Florida, in 1900, there was virtually nobody there.

01:01:38.380 The population of the coastal counties in Florida has increased 67-fold since 1900, whereas the U.S. population has only increased about four-fold.

01:01:49.660 So obviously, with much more stuff, much closer to harm's way, you're going to get much bigger damage.

01:01:55.720 That does not mean this is because of cold warming.

01:01:58.100 And again, if you want to fix it, as you point out, maybe you should stop subsidizing people's insurance.

01:02:03.600 Then they would feel more responsible.

01:02:05.040 So let's talk about another thing.

01:02:07.660 The Amazon, of course, everybody knows now that this is the planet's lungs.

01:02:14.180 True or false?

01:02:16.700 That's false.

01:02:18.080 A stable ecosystem like the Amazon emits no net oxygen.

01:02:25.500 So it's one of those many, many myths that we hear.

01:02:28.240 The world is on fire.

01:02:31.940 You know, you're clearly a denier here.

01:02:34.340 The world is on fire.

01:02:35.460 The lungs were on fire.

01:02:37.980 Down on the bottom end, there was a ring of fire in Australia.

01:02:45.240 California is on fire.

01:02:47.300 What's causing that except global warming?

01:02:50.060 So fundamentally, we need to recognize that we've seen a dramatic decline of fire over the last hundred, hundred and fifty years, basically because we've gotten richer and we've gotten much more careful with our environment.

01:03:04.960 It actually matters to most people to make sure it doesn't burn.

01:03:08.760 So burning rates also in the U.S. have gone down by five to ten times compared to the early part of last century.

01:03:17.280 But there is a problem with global warming.

01:03:19.980 It's likely that global warming will lead to somewhat higher burn rates, still much less than what we used to have.

01:03:26.320 But it is a problem.

01:03:27.900 And again, we need to ask them, is the right way to deal with this?

01:03:31.720 Is that to cut CO2?

01:03:33.680 We should probably do that a little bit.

01:03:35.560 We shouldn't do this because of fire.

01:03:37.740 If you want to help people, you should perhaps make them stop building in what is essentially tinder boxes.

01:03:43.960 Those are simple ways to make sure that you zone people out of very, very dense doors where they're likely to get burnt like in paradise and other places in California.

01:03:54.480 Do you believe in controlled burns?

01:03:56.520 I mean, we stopped that in the 70s.

01:03:58.500 Sure.

01:03:59.220 Yeah.

01:03:59.620 And it seems, again, it seems like that is a very good idea in most places.

01:04:04.820 And we know how to do that.

01:04:06.420 That's also one of the reasons why we've seen much, much less burn.

01:04:10.200 Global, we've seen burn rates decrease about 25 percent just over the last 25 years.

01:04:15.700 So we've seen a dramatic reduction.

01:04:18.340 There is part of this that's due to global warming.

01:04:21.040 But again, the extrapolation, the alarmism that we see in the media makes us very hard to understand, partly that this is not mostly caused by global warming and that our best efforts, our best policies have virtually nothing to do with global warming.

01:04:37.600 If you actually want to help 30 seconds before the 30 seconds before the break is this alarmism is really hurting because people won't pay attention once it doesn't happen.

01:04:49.540 Right. Don't you think?

01:04:51.660 Well, I think alarmism hurts because it both makes us spend much, much more.

01:04:56.260 We're going to spend trillions and achieve almost nothing.

01:04:58.960 And it makes us fail to focus on the things that really will matter, both solutions to climate, but also all the other problems that still are there.

01:05:06.700 OK, we're coming back with Bjorn Lomberg.

01:05:09.420 And we'll talk about the things that we can do that we should be talking about.

01:05:18.480 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:05:22.100 We have to focus our energy.

01:05:23.860 There are too many fronts to fight on.

01:05:25.160 We have to focus our energies and we quite honestly have to focus our money where it can be best used.

01:05:32.340 For instance, right now you are making phone calls.

01:05:36.360 You're going to continue to make phone calls.

01:05:37.900 You're going to need a cell service.

01:05:39.580 But are you working with a cell service that is spending money like the big cell service to stop your freedom of speech or the Second Amendment or fund abortions?

01:05:52.040 That's what's happening.

01:05:53.220 They take some of their profits and they spend millions of dollars propping up things that you may be against.

01:05:59.340 I mean, if you're for those things, great stay.

01:06:02.020 If you're against those things, there is an alternative.

01:06:04.920 You can get the same great service.

01:06:06.600 Everybody's on the same towers now.

01:06:08.560 Patriot Mobile is running a school days promotion until September 12th.

01:06:13.080 Either choose a free phone or a free month of service when you switch and they will make a donation to students for life, which is fighting for life.

01:06:26.200 You believe in that switch now.

01:06:28.000 Do it.

01:06:28.560 It's 972-PATRIOT, 972-PATRIOT, or PatriotMobile.com slash back.

01:06:35.500 More with Bjorn Lomborg here in a moment.

01:06:37.240 The book is False Alarm, How Climate Change Panic Costs Us Trillions, Hurts the Poor and Fails to Fix the Planet.

01:06:48.740 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:06:51.100 We have Bjorn Lomborg on with us.

01:06:53.620 He is the author of the new book called False Alarm.

01:06:56.440 If you remember, we had Michael Schellenberger on, who is an environmentalist, and so is Bjorn.

01:07:02.140 And he believes in climate change and all of that.

01:07:05.580 He just doesn't believe in all of the things that we're saying are going to fix them and the Green New Deal, et cetera, et cetera.

01:07:12.100 And he also believes this panic is ridiculous and actually harming us.

01:07:19.300 So, Bjorn, I want to I think I want to start with what can the individual do?

01:07:26.180 Like, you know, I know somebody who brings, you know, Tupperware and doesn't use anything plastic, tries to keep the recycling down.

01:07:34.800 Does all of that stuff.

01:07:36.080 Does that matter?

01:07:36.820 I would love to be able to tell you, yes, that really fixes everything.

01:07:42.280 But the honest answer is no, it doesn't matter very much.

01:07:45.640 It's not that.

01:07:46.340 OK, but it does fine.

01:07:47.660 And please, OK, all means do it.

01:07:49.400 Right.

01:07:49.640 It has a very tiny impact.

01:07:52.360 But if we all did it.

01:07:54.000 Well, one of the advisers to the U.K. government climate, he once wrote, you know, look, we've got to stop with that myth of every little bit helps.

01:08:05.480 If everyone does a little, we achieve a little.

01:08:08.980 If everyone does all of these things, we will still just have achieved a tiny bit.

01:08:13.860 Let me give you one example.

01:08:15.020 So I'm vegetarian and, you know, I think it's wonderful more people becoming vegetarian because it means I can get better food at restaurants.

01:08:22.440 But we should we should not believe these stories that tell you that you can cut half of all emissions by going vegetarian.

01:08:31.780 First of all, that's only if your food emissions.

01:08:34.160 The real number is close to about four percent.

01:08:37.420 But when you go vegetarian, vegetarian is also cheaper.

01:08:41.040 And that means you have more money to spend on other things.

01:08:43.500 So that means more emissions elsewhere.

01:08:46.260 Totally.

01:08:46.860 You will reduce your emissions about two percent to give you a sense of proportion.

01:08:51.100 You could have bought the offset from one of the many carbon trading centers for about $1.50 per year.

01:08:58.700 So you can buy offsets for about $1.50 and you can eat all the meat you want.

01:09:04.260 This is not what's going to fix climate change.

01:09:06.780 It's a tiny bit, but don't believe this is what's going to fix it.

01:09:10.160 OK, so we got to look at big things.

01:09:13.540 For instance, it kills me that people look at COVID-19 and these environmentalists have come out and said, this is the best thing that could have happened because all we have to do is just keep it right here.

01:09:28.060 Well, we're destroying capitalism right now.

01:09:31.980 We're destroying the free market.

01:09:33.540 And I believe that it's going to be the free market and invention and capitalism that actually will solve these problems is are things like COVID-19, where we all shut down.

01:09:47.340 Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

01:09:48.920 Well, I mean, it's obviously a bad thing, and I think most people would have a hard time arguing anything else.

01:09:54.680 But I think it's also a very illustrative case because the U.S., if you get a second wave in the second half of this year, you will probably have reduced your carbon emissions about 10 percent.

01:10:07.480 So remember, all of this suffering means you were able to cut 10 percent.

01:10:13.960 If you want to go to zero, that means you need to have 10 times the impact every year.

01:10:20.340 That's 10 times the shutdowns and everything else that you've been exposed to this year.

01:10:25.300 Now, of course, this was not intended to cut carbon emissions.

01:10:29.120 Of course, we can cut carbon emissions smarter and less hurtfully than than COVID-19.

01:10:35.080 But it does give you pause to realize cutting your carbon emissions is really hard.

01:10:41.780 So remember, when environmentalists tell us, oh, drive a little less, fly a little less.

01:10:46.620 The world has just done that.

01:10:48.540 It's like they all collectively decided to do all of that.

01:10:52.420 Yet the total impact by the end of the century will be to reduce temperature increases by about one five hundredth of a degree Fahrenheit.

01:11:01.280 So it'll have no impact in 100 years.

01:11:04.000 Yet it has huge damage to almost everything we care and love.

01:11:08.860 And obviously, millions and possibly billions of people have been negatively affected.

01:11:13.920 Well, OK, then then I mean, clearly the Paris Accords, those that's something we should have done.

01:11:20.480 Yeah, people love to say the Paris Accord has really fixed climate change.

01:11:25.520 But if you actually do the estimates and again, the U.N. did that, you want the organizers of Paris Agreement from 2015 actually made an estimate of how much would this reduce carbon emissions in the world?

01:11:37.600 The answer is it'll reduce so little that it's less than one percent of what most politicians claim will come out of the Paris Agreement.

01:11:47.500 And remember, almost no country is living up to what they promised in the Paris Agreement.

01:11:53.120 The truth is the Paris Agreement will end up costing somewhere between one and two trillion dollars yet by the end for every year.

01:12:01.980 And yet by the end of the century, it will only reduce temperatures by about zero point three degrees Fahrenheit.

01:12:09.160 So you will have a very tiny impact at an enormous cost, you know, 50 to 100 trillion dollars.

01:12:16.160 That's a bad, ineffective way to try to tackle climate change.

01:12:20.540 And of course, one that you will eventually lose voters from. 1.00

01:12:23.940 Is this is this just stupid people? 1.00

01:12:27.340 Is this a cash grab? 1.00

01:12:30.240 What is stopping reason from from working here?

01:12:35.720 I think there's a number of things at play.

01:12:38.140 We talked about the alarmism at first.

01:12:40.180 If you're really, really worried, if you think and I think a lot of people genuinely believe this is the end of the world.

01:12:46.980 You're willing to do anything and you'll do it in panic.

01:12:49.520 Of course, you won't do very well.

01:12:51.160 You won't be very smart about it, but you'll simply try to throw everything in the kitchen sink at it.

01:12:56.200 That's one part of it.

01:12:57.740 The other part is, remember, what is it that drives most media?

01:13:01.780 That's scary news.

01:13:03.240 Scary news sells.

01:13:04.280 And so you get this constant inundation of scary news.

01:13:09.660 And global warming is a wonderful provider of that.

01:13:12.940 Any storm, any drought, any flood, anything really from the weather can be branded as climate change.

01:13:20.580 So it's great for selling a lot of media.

01:13:23.480 And of course, it's great for politicians because politicians live from getting your vote.

01:13:28.240 They get to say, you were doomed, but if you vote for me, I can save you.

01:13:34.540 That's the best thing a politician could possibly do.

01:13:37.180 And often they get to say this and the cost will only come in the election cycle after next.

01:13:43.300 So I don't even have to worry about that.

01:13:45.140 I just got all the applause, all your votes, and then we'll worry about having to pay for it later.

01:13:49.240 All right.

01:13:49.820 So let's talk about real solutions and the solutions.

01:13:53.340 It seems to me, I mean, I was a big proponent of the hydrogen car.

01:13:57.260 You can run nuclear power plants all day long while everybody's up and then use that dip at night to make hydrogen.

01:14:05.480 They had a way to distribute it.

01:14:07.340 It was I've driven the car.

01:14:09.080 It was great.

01:14:10.040 I'm for fracking more natural gas, not less natural gas.

01:14:14.640 But every time there's something that looks like it would be a help or a piece of a solution, it's shut down.

01:14:23.400 So what are the things that we could do that that environmentalist will agree to?

01:14:29.940 Because they don't seem very interested in anything once we get going.

01:14:36.120 Well, Glenn, so I think the real realization is to recognize that most big problems in the world have never been solved by telling people, I'm sorry, can you do less of that?

01:14:49.180 Can you feel less joyful?

01:14:50.860 Can you have less welfare and prosperity?

01:14:53.640 That's just not going to work.

01:14:55.160 So think back in the 1950s in Los Angeles.

01:14:58.160 It was terribly polluted, mostly from cars.

01:15:01.080 The standard environmental approach would be to tell people, I'm sorry, could you drive a little less?

01:15:05.540 Or maybe stop driving at all?

01:15:07.140 Of course, that was not actually on the agenda.

01:15:09.960 And you wouldn't be able to get people on board with that.

01:15:12.520 What did solve a very large part of the air pollution problem in Los Angeles was the catalytic converter.

01:15:18.500 It was an innovation that you put on your car and then basically it pollutes a lot less.

01:15:24.080 Now, it has a cost, but it's an OK cost compared to the immense benefit you get.

01:15:28.900 The trick here is to recognize if we can innovate the price of green energy down below fossil fuels, we can solve global warming.

01:15:37.240 But as long as we keep telling everyone, and especially China and India and Africa, I'm sorry, you've just got to be poor because we can't actually make you rich while you don't emit a lot more CO2. 0.55

01:15:49.120 That's never going to work.

01:15:50.260 What we need to do is to invest a lot more in innovation to get green energy to be cheaper than fossil fuels.

01:15:58.280 Once we reach that, everyone will switch, not just rich, well-meaning Americans, but also Latin America, Africa, everybody else.

01:16:06.620 And so your point to the hydrogen car, that may very well be the solution.

01:16:11.820 Remember, there are lots of people out there who believe that they know what is going to power the rest of the 21st century, and all of them are still too expensive, hydrogen car included.

01:16:21.340 But the point is we should invest a lot more in the research of those because we just need one or a few of those technologies, and those are the ones that will then power the 21st century.

01:16:32.020 I mean, everything changes when we can get the right battery.

01:16:34.600 Everything changes, and we should be spending all of our money on research in batteries and then looking for things like hydrogen cars that could be coupled with those batteries, and then the problem is solved.

01:16:51.220 I don't understand how people can block every single thing.

01:16:58.520 And then, say, wind power, which is so far away from reality, the land alone that it would take just to build enough windmills for a third of our energy need would be a third of the country almost. 0.58

01:17:12.840 It's ridiculous.

01:17:15.120 And, I mean, you're so full of common sense. 0.76

01:17:17.960 If this was the green energy movement, what you talk about here was the green energy movement, we would all be in lockstep.

01:17:25.820 But I've got to believe that you have been called a climate denier and science denier every step of the way as well, even though you're not disagreeing with any of their science.

01:17:37.740 Oh, of course.

01:17:38.760 Now, a lot of people find it's a lot easier to argue by just calling you names than actually engaging in this conversation.

01:17:44.680 And, of course, the real surprise is if you're really, really worried about global warming, why would you be proposing the same solutions that have failed the last 30 years?

01:17:55.020 If you really think this is the end of the world, is that a smart move?

01:17:58.140 Of course, you need to find better ways to fix this.

01:18:01.980 I would probably be a little bit more technology agnostic than you are because, obviously, some people believe very much in batteries.

01:18:08.440 Some people believe very much in hydrogen cars.

01:18:10.980 Other people, like Craig Benter, the guy who cracked the human genome back in 2000, he's arguing that we should put out algae on the ocean surface that grow oil from sunlight and CO2.

01:18:24.380 How cool would that be?

01:18:25.440 We'd basically be able to keep our entire fossil fuel economy, but we'd power it with oil that we just produced, and hence, it would be CO2 neutral.

01:18:33.560 Again, there are lots of these ideas.

01:18:35.500 All of them are not cost-effective right now, which is why they haven't taken over the world.

01:18:40.520 But the point is, research and development can make that difference, and it just needs to make a difference to one of these many technologies.

01:18:47.900 Most of them will fail.

01:18:48.920 That's fine.

01:18:49.860 We just need one or a few of them to come through.

01:18:52.580 And that's why I think we need to challenge people who are very, very worried and tell us, we're going to spend trillions of your money on ineffective solutions.

01:19:02.020 No.

01:19:02.440 Look, you have the right problem, but you're fixing it badly, and you're wasteful with the money.

01:19:08.060 Let's do it smartly through innovation and make sure that we actually find something that will not just work for rich, well-meaning Americans, but for everyone on the planet.

01:19:18.300 Is socialism the way to go?

01:19:20.640 Will that help?

01:19:21.220 Well, clearly it's not.

01:19:23.420 I mean, I think we've already sort of found out we need some sort of managed capitalism, as we have in most countries in the world.

01:19:30.680 But the idea is to recognize what solves most problems is not wringing your hands or making command dictates on what you need to do.

01:19:40.420 It is innovation.

01:19:42.000 Think back in the 1970s.

01:19:43.860 We worried about the fact that there would be almost no food for India and Africa.

01:19:48.200 The solution was not to tell people in which world, I'm sorry, could you stop eating so much and send it to the Indians? 1.00

01:19:56.160 The solution was the Green Revolution, that we found a way to make much more food, much cheaper, much more effectively for Indians, which is why India today has not had a huge hunger catastrophe.

01:20:08.980 They're actually the world's leading exporter race because of innovation instead of just telling people you're doomed and we've got to do less.

01:20:17.120 And also, I would add silencing of people with dissenting opinions.

01:20:22.360 We need everybody thinking and working and being free to be able to work on their own style solutions, because it could come from somebody we least expect.

01:20:34.500 Bjorn Lomborg, thank you very much.

01:20:36.260 The name of the book is False Alarm, How Climate Change Panic Costs Us Trillions, Hurts the Poor and Fails to Fix the Planet.

01:20:44.180 These books that are coming out by Bjorn and also by Michael Schellenberger, they need to be read to your teenagers.

01:20:51.580 You need to give them to your teenagers because your teenagers are being filled with all kinds of despair.

01:20:59.240 And the truth is that despair is a lie.

01:21:03.760 Bjorn, thank you so much.

01:21:05.420 We'll talk again.

01:21:06.440 Great to talk to you.

01:21:07.300 People all over America are discovering now what a joy it is to cook on a rec tech, and they're talking about it on social media, from pro tips to reviews to recipes for just about anything you would think about cooking on your rec tech.

01:21:24.500 And a lot of things that I would have never thought of.

01:21:27.360 We just cooked some ribs on the grill over the weekend.

01:21:30.700 They were so good.

01:21:31.720 And my wife was putting I don't even know what it was.

01:21:33.660 And I'm like, what is that?

01:21:35.000 And she's like, it's a rec tech recipe.

01:21:38.060 Shh.

01:21:39.260 I'm like, OK.

01:21:40.480 It was delicious.

01:21:42.660 It is the top name now in modern grilling.

01:21:45.760 It's rec tech with its smart grill technology.

01:21:49.400 Sturdy design, hopper full of heat and delicious wood smoke.

01:21:52.920 The rec tech stands head and shoulders above any of the competition.

01:21:56.680 It's rec tech.

01:21:57.820 It'll be the last grill you're ever going to want to buy.

01:21:59.560 If you haven't taken the time to go online and look at rec tech, you're holding yourself back from the best grilling experience imaginable.

01:22:06.860 Visit rec tech.

01:22:08.040 Follow them on all social media and sign up for their newsletter.

01:22:10.700 That's R E C T E Q with a Q at the end.

01:22:18.420 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:22:21.800 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:22:37.060 You know, the the problem with Marxism and and social engineering and all of this stuff that the Democrats are doing right now is it goes against human nature.

01:22:48.880 Yesterday, we told you about New York City and how it's just it's over.

01:22:52.220 It's over.

01:22:52.780 And the reason why it's over is because of tech.

01:22:56.040 People have realized now because of covid, I don't need to go to work.

01:23:00.800 So why would I go to work in a city that charges me 10 to 15 percent more in a city tax?

01:23:08.480 I have to spend gobs of money to get anywhere, to go anywhere, to cross a bridge is 20 bucks to, you know, to live and have an apartment is like a mortgage anyplace else.

01:23:22.500 The Democrats, one of their things to solving climate change is just pay everybody and then have them just do whatever it is they want to do.

01:23:35.120 And they have to live in a city.

01:23:37.340 Well, if I don't have to be in a city, I'm not going to be in a city.

01:23:40.720 I want to be out someplace where I can see how beautiful it is.

01:23:43.980 It just goes against human nature.

01:23:46.560 All of it.

01:23:47.680 More on the National Convention coming up.

01:23:49.240 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:24:19.240 What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:24:27.840 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:24:34.200 So let me give you just a quick highlights of the DNC convention last night.

01:24:38.240 First of all, Michelle Obama outlined the qualities of president needs, clear headed judgment, understanding complex issues and a moral compass.

01:24:50.940 She's not describing Joe Biden.

01:24:53.360 I don't know who she is.

01:24:54.700 Then the DNC focused on the Constitution.

01:24:58.160 But they opened up with the Star Spangled Banner.

01:25:06.040 I didn't know who these people were last night.

01:25:08.800 It's like you keep using these words.

01:25:10.540 I do not think it means what you think it means.

01:25:13.180 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:25:15.900 We begin there in 60 seconds.

01:25:20.400 Stand by.

01:25:21.300 First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

01:25:24.180 It's a gold line.

01:25:25.380 The Federal Reserve is out of control.

01:25:30.920 I don't know if you've heard about this or not, but the Federal Reserve is currently working with MIT to hypothetically develop a digital currency for them to play around with.

01:25:41.000 I mean, I mean, to help manage the economy, they're also now talking about opening Fed bank accounts for every citizen that way they could just deposit money into every citizen's bank account.

01:25:53.980 You just have to go and have a Fed bank account at one of the Fed banks.

01:25:59.120 Oh, that is fantastic.

01:26:01.680 Oh, no middleman, just money just pours in on an unrelated note, meaning that very sarcastically.

01:26:11.200 Gold continues to rise in value.

01:26:14.260 Projections for the next year are through the roof.

01:26:16.240 I saw somebody yesterday comment on a tweet of mine said, yeah, he's been selling gold to his audience, causing fear for years now.

01:26:27.300 Specifically since gold was three hundred and twenty eight dollars an ounce.

01:26:31.660 That's when I started saying buying buy gold.

01:26:34.300 That three hundred and twenty dollars an ounce is now worth two thousand dollars an ounce.

01:26:38.240 So, I mean, you're right.

01:26:39.720 Whoa.

01:26:40.280 What a bad investment, huh?

01:26:43.540 Goldline, please.

01:26:45.120 I've told you, don't I don't buy it as an investment.

01:26:48.080 I buy it as a hedge against insanity.

01:26:51.300 And the world, as you can see, is more and more insane every day.

01:26:56.580 Everything the Fed said they wouldn't do.

01:26:58.520 They have done.

01:26:59.880 We've printed more money in the last 90 days than we've printed in the last 90 years.

01:27:06.460 What do you say you call Goldline?

01:27:08.460 Tell them you want to find out now about their five dollar gold Liberty coins.

01:27:11.840 I just got some of these a couple of months ago.

01:27:14.460 They have them in stock again.

01:27:16.480 Please tell them I sent you.

01:27:17.740 Call Goldline at eight six six Goldline.

01:27:19.840 Just get the information.

01:27:21.100 Don't make any rash decisions. 1.00

01:27:22.880 And don't don't be stupid. 1.00

01:27:24.200 Balance things out. 1.00

01:27:26.580 Spread out your risk.

01:27:28.100 Eight six six Goldline.

01:27:29.500 Gold or silver.

01:27:30.840 Eight six six Goldline or Goldline dot com.

01:27:34.120 Tomorrow night.

01:27:35.200 The Democrats plan to rig election 2020.

01:27:39.120 You're saying that voter fraud is a thing.

01:27:41.900 And I'm telling you that it's not.

01:27:43.720 And you're money in the water.

01:27:45.200 Money in the water.

01:27:47.580 Glenn exposes the dangerous truth about mail-in voting.

01:27:50.840 And who is behind the real election interference.

01:27:55.200 Watch the enemy within.

01:27:58.340 Tomorrow night 9 p.m.

01:27:59.900 Eastern only at blaze tv dot com slash Glenn.

01:28:04.200 So last night the Democratic Convention happened and it was bizarre.

01:28:11.020 But I want to I want to actually I want to go to Michelle Obama speech and and find points of agreement.

01:28:19.560 Sot eight please.

01:28:21.480 Here's Michelle Obama.

01:28:22.200 Joe Biden wants all of our kids to go to a good school, see a doctor when they're sick, live on a healthy planet.

01:28:31.620 And he's got plans to make all of that happen.

01:28:34.940 Joe Biden wants all of our kids, no matter what they look like, to be able to walk out the door without worrying about being harassed or arrested or killed.

01:28:45.560 He wants all of our kids to be able to go to a movie or a math class without being afraid of getting shot.

01:28:53.960 He wants all of our kids.

01:28:54.960 He wants all of our kids to grow up with leaders who won't just serve themselves and their wealthy peers, but will provide a safety net for people facing hard times.

01:29:06.700 OK, is there anybody within the sound of my voice?

01:29:09.140 Take out Joe Biden wants all of those things.

01:29:11.360 Is there anybody within the sound of my voice that disagrees with that?

01:29:14.380 That I want kids to go to a good school, good school, all kids.

01:29:19.680 I want a doctor to be able to see those kids when they're sick. 0.99

01:29:23.180 I want to live on a healthy planet.

01:29:24.840 I want all of our kids, no matter what they look like, to be able to walk out the door without being worried about being harassed, arrested or killed.

01:29:33.600 Harassed is a really interesting word because I would like my kids to be able to go to college and have a different point of view and not be harassed.

01:29:43.380 I would like to have a different point of view, not be arrested.

01:29:47.200 I don't want you arrested because you're a different color or different point of view. 0.99

01:29:50.960 I want you arrested if you've done something wrong.

01:29:53.440 And I would happen to put looting into that category.

01:29:58.620 And I certainly don't want our kids walking through the door and feeling afraid that they might get killed. 0.94

01:30:05.820 But that's now happening with whites and blacks. 0.98

01:30:08.740 And it's happening with blacks more than whites, not from the police, but from blacks. 1.00

01:30:14.200 Black on black killings is what's killing most blacks. 1.00

01:30:19.040 He wants our kids to go to a movie or math class without being afraid of getting shot. 1.00

01:30:24.960 Me, too.

01:30:25.360 He wants all the kids to grow up with leaders who don't serve themselves and their wealth and their wealthy peers, but will provide a safety net for people facing hard times.

01:30:34.100 So do I.

01:30:35.760 So do I.

01:30:36.400 Tell me about tell me about tell me about Barack Obama.

01:30:38.900 Tell me about the Clinton Foundation.

01:30:41.520 Tell me about the Obama Foundation.

01:30:43.860 Tell me about how you went to a public office to serve and you still had student loans.

01:30:50.380 And now you're living in an 11 million dollar house.

01:30:52.840 Tell me.

01:30:54.120 Tell me about that.

01:30:56.980 See, this is the problem.

01:30:57.940 We agree.

01:31:00.020 Just not everybody actually does those things.

01:31:07.480 Does Joe Biden want all our kids to do all these things?

01:31:10.160 Yeah.

01:31:11.180 But is it do his policies reflect those things?

01:31:14.340 No.

01:31:17.380 We want a chance to pursue any of these goals.

01:31:20.420 I want you to listen.

01:31:21.320 Here's number nine.

01:31:22.480 Listen to this.

01:31:22.940 And if we want a chance to pursue any of these goals, any of these most basic requirements for a functioning society.

01:31:34.140 Stop.

01:31:34.780 We have.

01:31:35.480 Stop.

01:31:36.360 What do we have to do?

01:31:37.860 What do we have to do?

01:31:38.740 If we want to pursue any of those goals, any of these most basic requirements for a functioning society, what do we need to do?

01:31:49.160 We need to have everybody agree on a few social contracts like looting is bad, that intimidation is bad, that shutting people up because they have a different opinion is bad.

01:32:12.700 We need to have a functioning society, but she says, no, no, no, we have to what?

01:32:23.360 Continue on the thought, please.

01:32:25.260 We want a chance to pursue any of these goals, any of these most basic requirements for a functioning society.

01:32:33.700 Then we have to vote for Joe Biden in numbers that cannot be ignored because right now folks who know they cannot win fair and square at the ballot box are doing everything they can to stop us from voting.

01:32:48.960 How true it is, Democrats. 0.88

01:32:50.000 They're closing down polling places in minority neighborhoods.

01:32:52.640 They are?

01:32:53.740 They're purging voter rolls.

01:32:55.960 They're sending people out to intimidate voters and they're lying about the security of our ballots.

01:33:03.820 These tactics are not new.

01:33:06.120 No, they're not.

01:33:07.260 And it's funny because these tactics were used by the Democratic Party to stop blacks from voting. 0.70

01:33:14.220 And you're doing it again.

01:33:16.600 This was this is the galling part of this.

01:33:26.060 This is why people can't listen to the other side and the other side can't listen to this because they don't believe any of us believe it because too many of the politicians don't.

01:33:36.460 They don't believe it.

01:33:37.680 They say one thing and they do another.

01:33:39.760 But these things, the actual people do believe. 1.00

01:33:46.580 And last night's convention was was programmed for morons, self-imposed morons. 1.00

01:33:57.680 They're not they're not morons. 1.00

01:33:59.620 They just aren't paying attention. 1.00

01:34:02.120 They don't feel like they have to do any work.

01:34:04.140 They just trust that.

01:34:05.380 Oh, yeah, I'm getting there.

01:34:06.320 I'm getting the news.

01:34:07.060 I'm getting the straight news because I like them.

01:34:09.760 And that's on both sides because you like somebody doesn't mean you're getting the truth.

01:34:14.360 I urge you do your own homework.

01:34:16.220 Don't don't ever take anything I say as gospel. 1.00

01:34:20.500 Don't be a moron. 0.99

01:34:22.540 I've done my best to make sure that it's right. 1.00

01:34:25.580 But I get things wrong.

01:34:27.300 Everybody does. 1.00

01:34:29.380 Don't be a moron. 1.00

01:34:31.620 People had to fight for freedom. 1.00

01:34:33.800 We're not even willing to look beyond what's being spilled out onto our couch.

01:34:41.260 Oh, yes, that's true.

01:34:42.780 Yes, that's true.

01:34:45.040 No, it's not.

01:34:46.160 Do your homework.

01:34:48.760 We ask people to fight and die and sacrifice everything for our freedom.

01:34:53.620 And this generation, our generation's not willing to actually pop the hood and even look at the engine, let alone fix it.

01:35:03.300 Michelle Obama said, even when it all feels so overwhelming, working parents are somehow piecing it all together without child care.

01:35:24.380 Teachers are getting creative so their kids can still learn and grow.

01:35:29.520 Our young people are desperately fighting to pursue their dreams.

01:35:36.860 That's kind of true.

01:35:39.360 It does feel overwhelming.

01:35:41.020 Working parents are somehow or another piecing it all together. 0.89

01:35:45.640 And any times they can't afford child care because their jobs have been destroyed.

01:35:52.640 Teachers are getting creative.

01:35:54.120 Yes, but so are the unions.

01:35:56.740 The teachers unions are destroying our children's future.

01:36:02.380 Our young people are desperately fighting to pursue their dreams.

01:36:05.800 Yes.

01:36:06.140 While you tell them that they shouldn't dream because we'll all be dead in 10 years because of global warming.

01:36:15.140 Is that compassionate?

01:36:16.980 Are we being told and being shown to be resilient?

01:36:24.160 Who's talking about the average mom and pop business?

01:36:32.420 I'm tired of seeing Wall Street go up.

01:36:35.620 I know why Wall Street is going up.

01:36:37.660 I know why the stock market's going up.

01:36:39.580 Because the Fed is in bed with big business and the Fed is printing money and giving it to big business.

01:36:48.220 And then on top of it, they are buying their stocks.

01:36:52.660 Compassionate, resilient, and decent people.

01:37:06.700 Take heart.

01:37:07.940 You will be the ones that save the republic.

01:37:13.560 Not our democracy.

01:37:15.060 We don't have a democracy.

01:37:16.620 You will be the ones that save the republic.

01:37:23.940 And it's not only saveable.

01:37:26.080 It's worth saving.

01:37:28.660 It's worth doing everything we can to save it.

01:37:32.160 Where is somebody standing up and saying, hey, why don't we help the businesses out?

01:37:40.800 The small businessman.

01:37:43.620 Here's what we can do.

01:37:45.420 They want to open up and they want to open up responsibly. 0.72

01:37:50.340 They're not stupid.

01:37:52.280 They want to open up responsibly. 0.91

01:37:57.440 I can't open up my building.

01:37:59.680 I can't open up my building now.

01:38:02.160 Because if anybody gets sick in my building and I've opened it back up, I could get sued by anybody.

01:38:08.120 Comes in, walks off the street.

01:38:09.940 I can get sued.

01:38:13.120 Where is somebody saying the small businessman needs protection from lawsuits over COVID?

01:38:21.720 Because you know that's coming.

01:38:25.240 That's the final finishing off bullet.

01:38:28.760 That's the bullet where the guy is just laying on the ground.

01:38:32.920 You know he's bleeding out.

01:38:34.420 You know he's dead. 1.00

01:38:35.660 But you look at him because you have spite and you put one last bullet in his head. 0.99

01:38:46.840 Litigation is that last bullet. 0.98

01:38:48.980 Governor Abbott.

01:38:51.920 Governor Abbott.

01:38:53.600 Governors around the country.

01:38:56.520 President Trump.

01:38:59.360 Members of Congress.

01:39:00.860 Members of the Senate.

01:39:02.020 Where are you?

01:39:04.760 Help us.

01:39:06.080 Because we know the Fed is already helping those who have helped themselves over and over and over again with our tax dollars.

01:39:20.840 We need somebody who actually believes in America, that actually believes in us, that the American people will do the right thing because we're good and decent and honorable.

01:39:36.840 And the only guy I see standing on that horizon, the only guy who actually I think believes in America, who just won't take no for an answer, is a guy that I'm like, really?

01:39:58.160 Donald Trump.

01:39:58.840 Donald Trump.

01:39:59.320 That's the guy out of all the guys in the out of everybody in the country.

01:40:05.760 That's the guy that we can count on now.

01:40:08.960 Yep.

01:40:09.520 Seems like it.

01:40:12.040 Seems like it. 0.98

01:40:13.800 All this crap you heard last night from the DNC is just really good writing and production. 0.98

01:40:22.780 That's all it was. 0.99

01:40:24.720 They don't believe a word of it.

01:40:29.320 Because if they did, they wouldn't be surprised. 0.96

01:40:31.180 They wouldn't be supporting the riots on the street and cutting of our police departments and all the other crazy crap that we're all seeing on television every single day.

01:40:45.760 I want to talk to you about AMAC.

01:40:47.120 If you're looking for an alternative to the AARP, I've got some good news for you.

01:40:51.260 The Association of Mature American Citizens, or AMAC, the fastest growing 50 plus organization in America.

01:40:58.880 When you're with AMAC, you're going to get discounts on your car insurance, your hotels, roadside assistance, dental plans, even cell phone service options that you might not otherwise have.

01:41:09.180 And many more benefits to make your life easier and save you money.

01:41:13.700 AMAC stands for the kind of American values that you stand for.

01:41:17.760 Courage, faith, reasoning.

01:41:20.160 All of the good things that are lost right now.

01:41:23.760 And AMAC fights for the freedoms we hold dear, like individual liberty, free speech, freedom of religion, the Second Amendment, the sanctity of life.

01:41:31.860 Wouldn't you rather belong to an organization that fights for your values, stands up for your God-given freedoms?

01:41:37.980 Stand with AMAC as they fight the good fight by becoming a member today.

01:41:41.960 The benefits are great, but the cause is even greater.

01:41:44.220 Join right now at amac.us slash beck.

01:41:47.860 That's A-M-A-C dot U-S slash beck. 0.98

01:41:51.960 AMAC is better.

01:41:53.700 Better for you.

01:41:54.640 Better for America. 0.62

01:41:56.620 Ten seconds.

01:41:57.340 Station ID.

01:41:57.820 I, uh, before we go any further today, I just want to thank so many people for the really kind emails that I've gotten from, I mean, Nikki Haley reached out yesterday and said, congratulations on the, on the induction in the Hall of Fame.

01:42:25.140 Really?

01:42:25.400 Yeah.

01:42:25.660 I mean, some really amazing people.

01:42:27.820 Um, but I don't think I did an adequate enough job yesterday because I was trying to be funny and everything else.

01:42:34.900 Um, on thanking you, the audience, you make this job so easy to do.

01:42:40.960 You make this job, uh, a pleasure to do.

01:42:44.760 And the only reason why I'm still doing it is because of you.

01:42:49.640 Uh, it's not for the money.

01:42:51.900 It's not for any of the other stuff.

01:42:54.180 Uh, it is because I think we have a connection and I know you count on us and we count on you.

01:43:04.640 We get as much from you, uh, and maybe more, uh, than you ever get from us.

01:43:10.020 Uh, I also really need to sincerely thank, uh, Stu and Pat and Jeffy and Sarah and everybody else that has been with me for 20 years.

01:43:22.300 Um, um, that saw this thing through from the beginning and always believed and never doubted and has never ever, uh, turned their, their back or given a sideways glance towards what we were trying to do.

01:43:40.880 And I can't thank these people and especially Stu, our executive producer enough.

01:43:47.780 Thank you, Glenn.

01:43:49.240 And as much as I hate to say it, you absolutely deserve to be in the radio hall of fame and it's a place you do deserve to be and should be.

01:43:58.160 So I'm glad that I'm glad you're going to be going.

01:43:59.580 I have to tell you, I looked last night at the radio hall of fame, uh, the, just the bees, you know, you can find alphabetically just the bees.

01:44:08.940 Um, it is, it's, it's, it's crazy who I'm joining, uh, you know, Jack Benny and, uh, Gary Burbank, uh, and, uh, gosh, I can't think of all of them now.

01:44:25.320 Um, uh, George Burns, all of these, I take it back.

01:44:30.320 You don't deserve.

01:44:31.320 Yeah, really.

01:44:31.860 I don't, I don't, I mean, the, the names that were there, people don't appreciate radio.

01:44:37.160 Like I think they used to, uh, and so, you know, you've gotten down to people like me in the hall of fame.

01:44:43.420 No, it's not, it's not true.

01:44:44.440 I mean, you really do deserve it.

01:44:45.400 And it's, it's, uh, you know, you went from, uh, you've been doing this a long time and you've built an amazing thing here and, uh, it's been a hell of a ride.

01:44:55.360 Really?

01:44:55.680 It really has.

01:44:56.340 I thought about that the other day.

01:44:57.380 I'm like, geez, like that's, what else do you do?

01:45:00.320 You're kind of like, you meet the radio hall of fame.

01:45:02.500 Like, it's kind of like, that's it, right?

01:45:05.600 You should just go home again.

01:45:07.180 And you know what I'm saying?

01:45:07.980 I think I'm being taught.

01:45:08.640 I mean, go home and just turn, turn the bath water on, a little warm, maybe bring a razor in with you.

01:45:14.820 I mean, it's, it's basically the ultimate honor of this industry.

01:45:19.080 It is.

01:45:19.580 It really is.

01:45:20.200 It is.

01:45:20.460 It's just like the baseball hall of fame.

01:45:22.020 If you're a baseball player, it's that big of a deal.

01:45:23.880 And, uh, it's a great organization is sincerely, and, uh, it's amazing that you're in it and congratulations.

01:45:30.720 It really is.

01:45:31.700 So thank you.

01:45:32.840 That's all I wanted to say.

01:45:35.780 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:45:42.640 Let's, uh, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

01:45:46.260 Our sponsor is Relief Factor.

01:45:48.260 And I want to talk to you about Alicia.

01:45:49.700 She, she lives in Kentucky.

01:45:51.540 She's just about 50 years old.

01:45:53.220 She worked at the local grocery store throughout the COVID stuff.

01:45:56.520 And as a result, her knees, which weren't in great shape to begin with, have gotten a lot worse in the last few months.

01:46:01.980 It got so bad by the time of the day that, you know, she was, uh, ready to go home.

01:46:07.260 She was literally limping.

01:46:09.440 Then she heard about Relief Factor on the radio and she decided that, I don't know, that radio hall of famer probably wasn't steering her in the wrong direction.

01:46:18.040 So she started, uh, you know, taking Relief Factor.

01:46:23.440 She said she started seeing a reduction of pain within a couple of days.

01:46:26.640 Within a couple of weeks, it was gone.

01:46:29.040 Alicia got her life back.

01:46:30.640 No more limping for her.

01:46:32.360 Relief Factor, not a drug, but developed by doctors.

01:46:35.020 And 70% of the people who try it go on to order more.

01:46:38.240 So order the three-week quick start for only $19.95.

01:46:41.520 What do you have to lose?

01:46:42.640 And then when it works, please tell me about it.

01:47:04.560 I want to tell you a story here about a family with a disabled daughter who the family had saved up to go to Disney World for a long time.

01:47:18.580 And I'll get into what is happening with a seven-year-old daughter.

01:47:25.600 But she can't wear a mask.

01:47:27.940 And covered by the ADA.

01:47:30.360 They went to the Magic Kingdom.

01:47:33.660 And Richard, the dad, says it was an absolute nightmare.

01:47:39.320 Nightmare.

01:47:41.000 I want to talk to Richard.

01:47:42.500 This is his first interview on the air.

01:47:45.080 Hello, Richard.

01:47:45.660 How are you?

01:47:47.120 I'm good.

01:47:47.760 How are you?

01:47:49.220 I'm good.

01:47:50.140 I really am heartbroken by this story.

01:47:54.400 But I also have a few questions for you because it's a tough situation.

01:47:58.780 So you live in Pennsylvania.

01:47:59.740 Absolutely.

01:48:00.680 You live in Pennsylvania.

01:48:02.440 What do you do for a living?

01:48:05.000 I used to be a maintenance and production supervisor.

01:48:09.060 I was in an industrial accident.

01:48:11.020 Both of my legs were crushed.

01:48:12.460 We were actually supposed to have this trip last September.

01:48:15.840 But because of the accident, it got delayed.

01:48:20.480 Okay.

01:48:20.880 So your daughter has already been delayed.

01:48:26.360 And tell me the situation with your daughter.

01:48:30.640 She has, what is the diagnosis?

01:48:33.060 Well, my daughter's high-functioning autism, but she has a severe sensory processing disorder.

01:48:40.440 Normal sensory signals, whether it's feeling or textures with food or sounds, her brain can't process them properly.

01:48:50.840 It becomes overloaded.

01:48:51.840 It sends her into a full-blown panic attack.

01:48:55.480 You know, I can hard-boil an egg for nine minutes.

01:49:01.060 If I do it for eight minutes or ten minutes, the second she bites into it, she'll vomit because the texture is different and her brain can't process it.

01:49:10.960 Holy cow. 0.89

01:49:11.200 She can't wear certain clothes because of the way it feels against her skin when we're sitting and watching a movie.

01:49:17.440 I can't put my arm around her because any type of restriction, she, again, you know, her heart starts pounding out of her chest.

01:49:26.340 She can't breathe.

01:49:27.080 She goes into a panic attack feeling like she can't breathe.

01:49:31.780 She does, you know, special therapy. 0.99

01:49:34.880 It's called TheraPlate at, you know, it was great before Corona.

01:49:39.100 I mean, we conquered sound.

01:49:40.480 There was a time that we tried to go to a fair and a balloon popped and she ran into a four-lane highway that was next to it.

01:49:46.980 Because of the sound and the feeling of needing to escape, but not knowing why she needs to escape because she's a child.

01:49:56.800 And they overcame, you know, a lot of those issues and got us to the point that we could actually take this trip.

01:50:03.940 First of all, Richard, just hearing that you can't put your arm around your daughter is just soul-crushing.

01:50:13.580 I truly feel for you.

01:50:17.860 So tell me what happened.

01:50:20.040 So you went down to Disney.

01:50:24.800 Yes.

01:50:25.540 So we arrived Wednesday evening.

01:50:29.920 Disney's doing things where you have magic bands and there's a My Disney Experience app.

01:50:35.120 So Wednesday morning it gave me our room number.

01:50:38.180 So we arrived at the hotel, walked down the sidewalk to our building, and we used our magic band to get into our room.

01:50:45.140 No need to check in for the front desk or anything.

01:50:48.060 We got up Thursday morning because we didn't arrive until late on Wednesday.

01:50:52.740 And we went, got on, I don't know if you've ever been to any of the Disney resorts, but they have shuttles that run to all the different locations.

01:51:02.400 So we got on the shuttle to Magic Kingdom because we had a breakfast reservation at Chef Mickey based on her needs with food and only being able to eat certain foods. 0.76

01:51:14.620 When we were getting on the bus, the driver asked about her mask.

01:51:18.580 I said she had a medical condition and he said, OK, we got on the bus.

01:51:22.540 We went over to the Magic Kingdom.

01:51:24.560 We weren't even going into the Magic Kingdom that day.

01:51:28.160 We needed to get off there and walk down the sidewalk to a different resort where the restaurant was located.

01:51:36.640 When we got off the bus, there was a security checkpoint, and that's where they stopped her about the mask.

01:51:43.300 I tried explaining, you know, we're just walking down the sidewalk.

01:51:46.280 We need to go to our breakfast reservation.

01:51:49.980 She has a medical condition.

01:51:51.280 She can't wear one.

01:51:52.420 At that point, they asked us to step to the side while a manager came.

01:51:59.800 My daughter, you know, everyone else that was going through the gate staring at us,

01:52:05.280 and my daughter started to instantly regress, start covering her ears and trying to run away.

01:52:12.980 My wife had a corraler. 1.00

01:52:15.600 And, you know, I tried to explain to them, listen, I don't even,

01:52:19.540 and today we're not even supposed to go to Magic Kingdom.

01:52:23.320 That was supposed to be the next day.

01:52:24.980 We were supposed to go to Animal Kingdom that day.

01:52:27.280 We're just here to go to breakfast.

01:52:29.160 We just need to walk through this metal detector and walk down that sidewalk to the restaurant where she doesn't even need a mask anyway. 1.00

01:52:36.440 And they wouldn't let us go, so, you know, we went back to the resort.

01:52:42.160 And there I tried talking with the management because it's day one of an eight-day vacation.

01:52:49.720 You know, what am I supposed to do?

01:52:51.360 All of our reservations to eat are based on what park we're supposed to be in which day,

01:52:57.820 based on what she can and can't eat.

01:53:00.320 And, you know, what am I supposed to do?

01:53:03.740 And all they kept saying was two-layer cloth mask firmly covering nose and mouth or she can't leave her room.

01:53:15.180 And I'm like, you know, so I asked to speak, you know, well, I need to speak to someone.

01:53:19.320 I need to figure something out because I need to be able to feed my daughter.

01:53:23.100 I'm from Pennsylvania.

01:53:24.440 I can't just turn around and go home.

01:53:28.360 So they told us to go back to our room, told me, you know, someone will contact me shortly.

01:53:35.820 This was 930 in the morning.

01:53:38.720 Finally, at 3 o'clock, the same person called me back and was like, you can send an email to guest services,

01:53:47.400 but you have to stay in your room or the pool.

01:53:51.320 And she can't go anywhere besides those two areas.

01:53:55.740 So I sent the email Friday morning.

01:53:59.480 Someone called me, you know, same thing.

01:54:02.720 You know, I'm trying to figure something out.

01:54:05.300 Like, can I, can I use a face shield?

01:54:07.080 You know, what kind of accommodation can you make?

01:54:10.440 Like, you know, we need to figure something out.

01:54:13.920 It's almost the weekend and no one's going to be here.

01:54:17.420 And again, they told me they would call me back and all day we waited in our room, 445 rolled around.

01:54:25.720 And they called me back and said they still hadn't heard back from their boss.

01:54:30.700 So they wouldn't hear anything till Monday.

01:54:33.440 Oh, my God.

01:54:33.980 At that point, my daughter had been begging us to go home.

01:54:38.720 You know, she didn't want to be there anymore. 0.98

01:54:41.560 She didn't want to be trapped in her room.

01:54:43.520 So we ended up booking a flight home for Saturday morning.

01:54:48.420 They told us they, you know, refund our money if we left.

01:54:52.260 So we booked a flight home and we went home and we finished our vacation in Gettysburg, PA, because, you know, they were specs.

01:55:04.880 Yeah.

01:55:05.540 You know, people, some people just, they medically can't wear a mask.

01:55:08.960 This isn't even a healthy adult we're talking about.

01:55:11.600 You know, it's a child who was made a little bit different.

01:55:14.580 And you see what happened with Southwest Airlines and Disney candidates.

01:55:19.280 You know, it's a disgrace.

01:55:20.180 These kids have needs.

01:55:21.280 And especially with the school year coming up, this is something that really needs to be addressed.

01:55:26.480 What are these kids going to do?

01:55:28.620 So, first of all, I can't believe Disney treated you and your daughter like that.

01:55:34.680 They usually are not like that.

01:55:36.480 But it just seems like everybody is, you know, no one is willing to take responsibility for anything.

01:55:44.600 Isn't she covered by ADA? 1.00

01:55:46.360 So they are trying to cite the direct threat clause under the ADA, which gives them the ability to take people's rights away and ADA protections, which I find appalling.

01:56:00.980 You can't tell me that COVID is not that big of a threat and it's safe enough for casinos and theme parks to be open, but then turn around and say it's such a threat that you can't give equal rights to a disabled person.

01:56:16.360 It can't be both ways.

01:56:18.440 Either it's a huge threat or it's not.

01:56:22.640 Can you, did you know that they required face masks prior to, did you, did you call them and talk to them about it in advance?

01:56:31.940 No.

01:56:32.140 So, you know, I got a message on the app when I opened the app, you know, or face mask policy.

01:56:41.320 And I really didn't pay no mind to it.

01:56:43.280 I take responsibility for that because where I live, it's everywhere has it.

01:56:49.940 There's not a single store that doesn't have a face mask policy, but they all.

01:56:54.540 Right.

01:56:55.120 And you're wearing a, you're wearing a face mask.

01:56:57.720 You were wearing one and your wife was wearing one. 0.97

01:57:00.920 Right.

01:57:01.440 And technically my wife should be exempt because she has severe asthma and breathing problems, but we both wear one so that to try to avoid problems with our daughter. 0.99

01:57:12.600 We don't want people to think we're just anti-mask and flaunting the law or, you know, we want to avoid problems for our daughter because she legitimately can't wear one.

01:57:23.340 So we do.

01:57:23.940 So where does it stand now?

01:57:28.960 What do you, what are you going to do now?

01:57:32.640 Well, you know, I, so Disney told me they would refund me when I checked out.

01:57:37.200 They told me they couldn't, I had to contact a travel company and they gave me to run around and had me call someone else.

01:57:43.820 And they had me send an email to billing.

01:57:46.200 I got a majority of my money back.

01:57:48.160 They won't give me a breakdown showing me what I was charged for the money I didn't get back.

01:57:54.400 Like, you know, three nights at X amount.

01:57:56.860 They won't show me any of that.

01:57:58.320 They won't give me a complete breakdown.

01:58:00.260 Um, but now, you know, my, my, I'm just from the support groups I'm on, on like Facebook with other autism parents, you know, the big concern is what happens to these kids when school goes back.

01:58:15.380 I mean, these kids lost all their services since March, you know, their in-person therapy, their therapy, their education, their in-class support.

01:58:24.260 Now school's coming back around and they want the kids to wear masks.

01:58:30.360 Well, what's going to happen?

01:58:31.800 Are you going to start suspending these children from school because they can't wear a mask?

01:58:37.620 Are you going to refuse them entry?

01:58:39.940 Just like, you know, kids need social skills.

01:58:42.760 They need these kids, especially ones on the higher end of the spectrum, are one day going to be adults that have to have jobs.

01:58:53.020 And live in the real world.

01:58:55.580 And in order to be successful, they need the services and programs that were designed to help make them successful.

01:59:02.120 They need the social skills that they get from interacting and being around other people.

01:59:07.960 They are, if they're healthy physically, they're the lowest risk category there is for COVID.

01:59:15.800 So to punish them because other adults either made poor life choices or, you know, are older and aren't taking the steps to protect themselves.

01:59:29.360 You know, there is some people like my mom who didn't choose to have the type of cancer she has. 0.96

01:59:34.740 She's high risk, not because of anything she did herself, but she takes steps to protect herself.

01:59:40.700 No, she doesn't demand other people stay inside to protect her.

01:59:44.580 She knows that's her responsibility.

01:59:49.060 Okay.

01:59:49.900 Well, thank you for sharing this story.

01:59:52.660 This story is up on TheBlaze.com.

01:59:55.880 And thank you for sharing it.

02:00:00.200 I'd like to take this story back and meet with my staff and see who we know.

02:00:05.780 I was just going through the Rolodex of my mind here of who I know at Disney.

02:00:12.200 And unfortunately, the two heads of Disney that I did know have just left.

02:00:15.900 But we're going to find out what we can do.

02:00:19.840 And it's not really about Disney.

02:00:21.320 It is more about what's going to happen with services for your kids at school.

02:00:27.200 So let me give me some time on this.

02:00:30.200 And I don't know if we can do anything.

02:00:32.320 But let us look into this and see if there's anything we can do.

02:00:37.220 And and let me get back in touch with you.

02:00:41.180 I don't think the end of this story is is here.

02:00:43.940 Well, I appreciate that very much.

02:00:46.800 Like I said, from the support groups for other, you know, children, other parents who have children with extra needs.

02:00:55.080 You know, there's a lot millions of parents around the world hanging in the balance because there's no real guidance coming down, you know, to put an end to this kind of stuff.

02:01:09.160 There's no official word either way coming down.

02:01:12.860 And we're just in an awkward position.

02:01:15.160 And I thank you.

02:01:16.560 Thank you so much, Richard Ross.

02:01:19.740 Thank you.

02:01:20.720 And we will not leave the story there.

02:02:55.260 We have Abbott and Costello, Mel Allen, Gene Autry, Jack Benny, Harry Carey, Dick Clark, Jimmy Durante, Rick Dees, Bing Crosby, Mike Francesa, Bob Hope.

02:03:11.360 This is disturbing.

02:03:12.900 I think they should take it away from you.

02:03:14.560 This should not be.

02:03:15.640 This is not right, guys.

02:03:17.300 I was reading a partial part of that list yesterday, and I was thinking it's like, you know, Cary Grant, Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, and Kermit the Frog.

02:03:31.740 It's like, you know, one of them doesn't really work.

02:03:34.460 It doesn't really work.

02:03:36.100 But it's an honor to be inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame, and I want to thank you for being such a great audience.

02:03:44.340 You make this job a pleasure to do every day.
