Glenn Beck talks about Michelle Obama and the Democratic National Anthem, and why it's a racist thing to do. Also, he talks about saving money, and how you can save thousands of dollars by refi'ing your home.
00:05:33.620When 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.
00:07:24.440I 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.
00:07:41.220She's an average looking person who does who.
00:07:44.600So who again, like I watch her speeches and I feel like I'm in another universe.
00:07:50.260I watch every blue check on Twitter say how it was the most amazing thing they've ever seen.
00:07:55.060And 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.
00:08:08.860And she's overacting it and overdoing it.
00:08:13.240And 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.
00:08:22.520Like, I just don't see her as this amazing, transformative person.
00:26:05.040And 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.
00:28:31.620And he was shot over a vizio by another black gentleman in that community.
00:28:36.040And 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.
00:28:41.820Despite the fact that there are more minorities in the police force than in the general population at large.
00:28:47.080And that's because they see it as a way to serve their community.
00:28:49.160We also see over 80% of black Americans who want at least as much police presence, if not more.
00:28:54.700So Black Lives Matter doesn't speak for them.
00:28:56.160They just have a megaphone with the media.
00:28:57.720But this is a man who not only is an example for the black community, but anyone, any young men.
00:29:03.360I 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.
00:30:02.520And 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.
00:30:11.040They were married police officers and they started programs to help youth in their community and even help them enroll in the police force.
00:30:17.760So 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.
00:32:57.700I'm just like with the hydroxychloroquine lady who clearly well, who I believe probably knocked off her husband.
00:33:03.560They didn't do any research and find out that she was an anti-Trump activist and donor to the DNC.
00:33:08.160I think this was a story that didn't interest them from the get go.
00:33:10.800Just 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.
00:33:18.940I just don't think that it suits their narrative.
00:33:20.760And I know that that's a phrase that's used a lot, doesn't suit their narrative.
00:33:25.480But I don't think it's ever been on more crystal clear display for everyone to see.
00:33:29.600Because if we're talking about black lives that matter and all black lives do matter and all lives matter.
00:33:34.820But let's say all black lives matter so that, you know, we're not accused of burning crosses and having a white hood.
00:33:39.300But if you say all lives matter, but all black lives certainly matter.
00:33:42.340Wouldn't it stand to reason to look at the number one cause of death?
00:33:46.200Number one cause of death for all black males under age 44 is homicide.
00:33:51.580Death from police officers doesn't even crack the top of the list.
00:33:54.020Do 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?
00:34:02.240So 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.
00:41:05.780If 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.
00:41:16.980It's hard not to look at it with all the flames lighting her up.
00:44:15.500Well, we know this week during the convention, it's going to be agonizing on a lot of fronts.
00:44:21.820But one of the fronts is climate change.
00:44:24.980And they're going to say that we're all going to die in the next 10 years.
00:44:27.760And 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.
00:45:21.700I 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.
00:45:28.720They're apt to be bringing all sorts of delightful new devices into your home.
00:45:32.460And it's awesome as if, you know, them suckling new technology hasn't sucked the souls out of them already.
00:45:40.100You can you can do something about this new devices, smartphones, tablets, laptops can mean real risks to your family's privacy.
00:45:51.540Your personal information or theirs could be exposed.
00:45:55.240And mere password protection does not block cyber criminals from hacking into those devices when they're on your home's Wi-Fi.
00:46:02.020Obviously, you want to keep prying eyes out, especially when it comes to your kids and their safety.
00:46:07.020The good news is you can help your family stay safe and more private and secure with Norton 360.
00:46:12.840Norton 360, a real time protection from existing and emerging cyber threats, as well as a VPN and a password manager.
00:48:02.480So we wanted to we wanted to talk to you about a couple of things, the alarmism.
00:48:08.180But first, who who is this book targeted to?
00:48:13.640So, 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.
00:48:23.680Lots of kids are saying, why should I study if there's no future for me because of this?
00:48:27.960And that certainly is what we're being told.
00:48:30.380A 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.
00:48:48.140But we need to get a sense of proportion.
00:48:50.040The 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.
00:49:02.560Remember, by then, the U.N. expect that we'll be two and a half times richer.
00:49:06.920So instead of being two and a half times richer, we'll be slightly less than two and a half times richer by 2070.
00:49:13.060If that's a problem, that's not the end of the world.
00:49:16.280So 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.
00:49:25.300So you are kind of in the category of Michael Schellenberger, that except you're probably more in line with the IPCC.
00:49:33.180You take those reports as as gospel and say, look, we're just going to accept this as fact.
00:49:40.080But then you look for the things that we we can do that will actually make a difference.
00:49:46.380Would you put yourself kind of in Michael Schellenberger's kind of place?
00:49:52.120Sure. 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.
00:50:01.640But then you also insist we need to look at the economics of climate change and actually take the best science there.
00:50:11.680Remember, I take my starting point in the guy who actually got the only Nobel Prize in climate economics, William Nordhaus from Yale University.
00:50:21.100And he says, as do almost everyone in climate economics, that there is a real problem with climate change.
00:50:28.580So probably in the order of three to four percent GDP by the end of the century.
00:50:33.700That means if you can fix a substantial part for a low cost, that's a good idea.
00:50:39.180But 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.
00:50:50.780And that's what you're I mean, you did an article in USA Today, climate change, democratic alarmism leads to failing policies.
00:50:58.820Yeah. So, look, the Democrats have a good intention.
00:51:04.340They are pointing out, look, there's a real problem.
00:51:06.780But 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.
00:51:17.700If 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.
00:51:26.600You know, you just throw everything in the kitchen sink.
00:51:39.380It's a three to four percent problem over the next 80 years.
00:51:42.260And 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.
00:52:56.860And and remember, it would not fix global warming.
00:53:01.060It 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.
00:53:10.760And we're increasingly going towards just producing services, which emits very little CO2.
00:53:17.980So China, India, Africa, Latin America still want to get rich.
00:53:22.260They want to get to where we are today.
00:53:24.100And 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.
00:53:39.820But 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.
00:53:52.820You can't get them to talk about that.
00:53:55.100You 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.
00:54:06.540But in a clean way, we can help them get into the 21st century by giving them power.
00:54:14.380Nobody wants to nobody wants to help them get richer and live our kind of lifestyle.
00:54:20.420They're trying to just bring everybody down to their lifestyle instead of bringing them up to our lifestyle.
00:54:28.020There's certainly a lot of truth to that.
00:54:29.820I actually find that when you confront most people with this, especially well-meaning sort of left leaning people, they also want that.
00:54:38.620And 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.
00:54:50.300And, of course, what ends up is very often they throw the Africans under the bus because they care too much about climate change.
00:54:57.460Again, if you think it's because it's the end of the world, that makes sense.
00:55:02.180But 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.
00:55:11.080And 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.
00:55:22.680Talking to Bjorn Lomborg, the book is False Alarm.
00:55:26.400Bjorn, take us through some of this alarmism.
00:55:28.880One 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.
00:55:50.280I mean, so, look, if you just look at rising temperatures will mean rising sea levels.
00:55:56.240That's very simple, and that's very true.
00:55:58.280Rising sea levels, all other things equal, will mean that more people will get inundated and eventually have to move.
00:56:04.620And, of course, the more alarmist will tell us, oh, my God, they're all going to drown.
00:56:08.520But the reality is, of course, we actually adapt.
00:56:12.900All 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.
00:56:53.940And 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.
00:57:08.020But if you do realistic assessments of what people will do, you will see 305,000 people having to move.
00:57:16.920Remember, that's half the number of people that move out of California every year.
00:57:21.540Of course, we can handle that globally over the next 80 years.
00:57:25.520So you're being told a story that's 600 times more alarming.
00:57:31.900And if this was just one single example, maybe it wouldn't matter all that much.
00:57:36.280But unfortunately, this is almost entirely how we're seeing climate change reported.
00:57:41.840We'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.
00:57:51.820And, of course, in real world, you will do.
00:57:54.560So I want to talk to you, Bjorn Lomborg, when we come back.
00:58:16.540If you're a big fan of paying full price for things, even when you don't have to, just relax over the next minute and you don't have to listen.
00:58:26.080If you're somebody that wants to save money, I want to urge you to get the app Honey.
01:01:08.040Well, it's certainly the right way to describe this.
01:01:10.560So remember, the number of hurricanes hitting the continental U.S. has actually declined since 1900.
01:01:18.040That's also true for the major hurricanes of Category 3 and over.
01:01:23.400And 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.
01:01:34.040So remember, in Florida, in 1900, there was virtually nobody there.
01:01:38.380The population of the coastal counties in Florida has increased 67-fold since 1900, whereas the U.S. population has only increased about four-fold.
01:01:49.660So obviously, with much more stuff, much closer to harm's way, you're going to get much bigger damage.
01:01:55.720That does not mean this is because of cold warming.
01:01:58.100And again, if you want to fix it, as you point out, maybe you should stop subsidizing people's insurance.
01:02:03.600Then they would feel more responsible.
01:02:47.300What's causing that except global warming?
01:02:50.060So 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.
01:03:04.960It actually matters to most people to make sure it doesn't burn.
01:03:08.760So burning rates also in the U.S. have gone down by five to ten times compared to the early part of last century.
01:03:17.280But there is a problem with global warming.
01:03:19.980It's likely that global warming will lead to somewhat higher burn rates, still much less than what we used to have.
01:03:37.740If you want to help people, you should perhaps make them stop building in what is essentially tinder boxes.
01:03:43.960Those 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.
01:04:18.340There is part of this that's due to global warming.
01:04:21.040But 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.
01:04:37.600If 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.
01:04:51.660Well, I think alarmism hurts because it both makes us spend much, much more.
01:04:56.260We're going to spend trillions and achieve almost nothing.
01:04:58.960And 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.
01:05:06.700OK, we're coming back with Bjorn Lomberg.
01:05:09.420And we'll talk about the things that we can do that we should be talking about.
01:05:39.580But 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?
01:06:08.560Patriot Mobile is running a school days promotion until September 12th.
01:06:13.080Either 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.
01:07:54.000Well, 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.
01:08:05.480If everyone does a little, we achieve a little.
01:08:08.980If everyone does all of these things, we will still just have achieved a tiny bit.
01:08:15.020So 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.
01:08:22.440But we should we should not believe these stories that tell you that you can cut half of all emissions by going vegetarian.
01:08:31.780First of all, that's only if your food emissions.
01:08:34.160The real number is close to about four percent.
01:08:37.420But when you go vegetarian, vegetarian is also cheaper.
01:08:41.040And that means you have more money to spend on other things.
01:08:43.500So that means more emissions elsewhere.
01:09:13.540For 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.
01:09:28.060Well, we're destroying capitalism right now.
01:09:33.540And 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.
01:09:48.920Well, I mean, it's obviously a bad thing, and I think most people would have a hard time arguing anything else.
01:09:54.680But 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.
01:10:07.480So remember, all of this suffering means you were able to cut 10 percent.
01:10:13.960If you want to go to zero, that means you need to have 10 times the impact every year.
01:10:20.340That's 10 times the shutdowns and everything else that you've been exposed to this year.
01:10:25.300Now, of course, this was not intended to cut carbon emissions.
01:10:29.120Of course, we can cut carbon emissions smarter and less hurtfully than than COVID-19.
01:10:35.080But it does give you pause to realize cutting your carbon emissions is really hard.
01:10:41.780So remember, when environmentalists tell us, oh, drive a little less, fly a little less.
01:11:04.000Yet it has huge damage to almost everything we care and love.
01:11:08.860And obviously, millions and possibly billions of people have been negatively affected.
01:11:13.920Well, OK, then then I mean, clearly the Paris Accords, those that's something we should have done.
01:11:20.480Yeah, people love to say the Paris Accord has really fixed climate change.
01:11:25.520But 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?
01:11:37.600The 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.
01:11:47.500And remember, almost no country is living up to what they promised in the Paris Agreement.
01:11:53.120The truth is the Paris Agreement will end up costing somewhere between one and two trillion dollars yet by the end for every year.
01:12:01.980And yet by the end of the century, it will only reduce temperatures by about zero point three degrees Fahrenheit.
01:12:09.160So you will have a very tiny impact at an enormous cost, you know, 50 to 100 trillion dollars.
01:12:16.160That's a bad, ineffective way to try to tackle climate change.
01:12:20.540And of course, one that you will eventually lose voters from.
01:14:10.040I'm for fracking more natural gas, not less natural gas.
01:14:14.640But every time there's something that looks like it would be a help or a piece of a solution, it's shut down.
01:14:23.400So what are the things that we could do that that environmentalist will agree to?
01:14:29.940Because they don't seem very interested in anything once we get going.
01:14:36.120Well, 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?
01:15:07.140Of course, that was not actually on the agenda.
01:15:09.960And you wouldn't be able to get people on board with that.
01:15:12.520What did solve a very large part of the air pollution problem in Los Angeles was the catalytic converter.
01:15:18.500It was an innovation that you put on your car and then basically it pollutes a lot less.
01:15:24.080Now, it has a cost, but it's an OK cost compared to the immense benefit you get.
01:15:28.900The trick here is to recognize if we can innovate the price of green energy down below fossil fuels, we can solve global warming.
01:15:37.240But 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.
01:15:50.260What we need to do is to invest a lot more in innovation to get green energy to be cheaper than fossil fuels.
01:15:58.280Once we reach that, everyone will switch, not just rich, well-meaning Americans, but also Latin America, Africa, everybody else.
01:16:06.620And so your point to the hydrogen car, that may very well be the solution.
01:16:11.820Remember, 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.
01:16:21.340But 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.
01:16:32.020I mean, everything changes when we can get the right battery.
01:16:34.600Everything 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.
01:16:51.220I don't understand how people can block every single thing.
01:16:58.520And 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.
01:17:15.120And, I mean, you're so full of common sense.
01:17:17.960If this was the green energy movement, what you talk about here was the green energy movement, we would all be in lockstep.
01:17:25.820But 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.
01:17:38.760Now, a lot of people find it's a lot easier to argue by just calling you names than actually engaging in this conversation.
01:17:44.680And, 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?
01:17:55.020If you really think this is the end of the world, is that a smart move?
01:17:58.140Of course, you need to find better ways to fix this.
01:18:01.980I would probably be a little bit more technology agnostic than you are because, obviously, some people believe very much in batteries.
01:18:08.440Some people believe very much in hydrogen cars.
01:18:10.980Other 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.
01:18:25.440We'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.
01:18:35.500All of them are not cost-effective right now, which is why they haven't taken over the world.
01:18:40.520But the point is, research and development can make that difference, and it just needs to make a difference to one of these many technologies.
01:18:49.860We just need one or a few of them to come through.
01:18:52.580And 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.
01:19:02.440Look, you have the right problem, but you're fixing it badly, and you're wasteful with the money.
01:19:08.060Let'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.
01:19:43.860We worried about the fact that there would be almost no food for India and Africa.
01:19:48.200The solution was not to tell people in which world, I'm sorry, could you stop eating so much and send it to the Indians?
01:19:56.160The 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.
01:20:08.980They'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.
01:20:17.120And also, I would add silencing of people with dissenting opinions.
01:20:22.360We 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.
01:21:07.300People 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.
01:21:24.500And a lot of things that I would have never thought of.
01:21:27.360We just cooked some ribs on the grill over the weekend.
01:21:57.820It'll be the last grill you're ever going to want to buy.
01:21:59.560If 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.
01:22:37.060You 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.
01:22:48.880Yesterday, we told you about New York City and how it's just it's over.
01:22:52.780And the reason why it's over is because of tech.
01:22:56.040People have realized now because of covid, I don't need to go to work.
01:23:00.800So why would I go to work in a city that charges me 10 to 15 percent more in a city tax?
01:23:08.480I 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.
01:23:22.500The 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.
01:24:34.200So let me give you just a quick highlights of the DNC convention last night.
01:24:38.240First of all, Michelle Obama outlined the qualities of president needs, clear headed judgment, understanding complex issues and a moral compass.
01:25:25.380The Federal Reserve is out of control.
01:25:30.920I 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.
01:25:41.000I 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.
01:25:53.980You just have to go and have a Fed bank account at one of the Fed banks.
01:28:22.200Joe Biden wants all of our kids to go to a good school, see a doctor when they're sick, live on a healthy planet.
01:28:31.620And he's got plans to make all of that happen.
01:28:34.940Joe 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.
01:28:45.560He wants all of our kids to be able to go to a movie or a math class without being afraid of getting shot.
01:28:54.960He 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.
01:29:06.700OK, is there anybody within the sound of my voice?
01:29:09.140Take out Joe Biden wants all of those things.
01:29:11.360Is there anybody within the sound of my voice that disagrees with that?
01:29:14.380That I want kids to go to a good school, good school, all kids.
01:29:19.680I want a doctor to be able to see those kids when they're sick.
01:29:24.840I 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.
01:29:33.600Harassed 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.
01:29:43.380I would like to have a different point of view, not be arrested.
01:29:47.200I don't want you arrested because you're a different color or different point of view.
01:29:50.960I want you arrested if you've done something wrong.
01:29:53.440And I would happen to put looting into that category.
01:29:58.620And I certainly don't want our kids walking through the door and feeling afraid that they might get killed.
01:30:05.820But that's now happening with whites and blacks.
01:30:08.740And it's happening with blacks more than whites, not from the police, but from blacks.
01:30:14.200Black on black killings is what's killing most blacks.
01:30:19.040He wants our kids to go to a movie or math class without being afraid of getting shot.
01:30:25.360He 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.
01:31:38.740If we want to pursue any of those goals, any of these most basic requirements for a functioning society, what do we need to do?
01:31:49.160We 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.
01:32:12.700We need to have a functioning society, but she says, no, no, no, we have to what?
01:32:25.260We want a chance to pursue any of these goals, any of these most basic requirements for a functioning society.
01:32:33.700Then 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.
01:33:16.600This was this is the galling part of this.
01:33:26.060This 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.
01:39:06.080Because we know the Fed is already helping those who have helped themselves over and over and over again with our tax dollars.
01:39:20.840We 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.
01:39:36.840And 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?
01:40:29.320Because if they did, they wouldn't be surprised.
01:40:31.180They 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.
01:40:47.120If you're looking for an alternative to the AARP, I've got some good news for you.
01:40:51.260The Association of Mature American Citizens, or AMAC, the fastest growing 50 plus organization in America.
01:40:58.880When 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.
01:41:09.180And many more benefits to make your life easier and save you money.
01:41:13.700AMAC stands for the kind of American values that you stand for.
01:41:20.160All of the good things that are lost right now.
01:41:23.760And AMAC fights for the freedoms we hold dear, like individual liberty, free speech, freedom of religion, the Second Amendment, the sanctity of life.
01:41:31.860Wouldn't you rather belong to an organization that fights for your values, stands up for your God-given freedoms?
01:41:37.980Stand with AMAC as they fight the good fight by becoming a member today.
01:41:41.960The benefits are great, but the cause is even greater.
01:41:57.820I, 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.
01:42:54.180Uh, it is because I think we have a connection and I know you count on us and we count on you.
01:43:04.640We get as much from you, uh, and maybe more, uh, than you ever get from us.
01:43:10.020Uh, 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.
01:43:22.300Um, 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.
01:43:40.880And I can't thank these people and especially Stu, our executive producer enough.
01:43:49.240And 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.
01:43:58.160So I'm glad that I'm glad you're going to be going.
01:43:59.580I 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.
01:44:08.940Um, 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.
01:44:25.320Um, uh, George Burns, all of these, I take it back.
01:44:45.400And 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.
01:46:09.440Then 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.
01:46:18.040So she started, uh, you know, taking Relief Factor.
01:46:23.440She said she started seeing a reduction of pain within a couple of days.
01:46:26.640Within a couple of weeks, it was gone.
01:48:51.840It sends her into a full-blown panic attack.
01:48:55.480You know, I can hard-boil an egg for nine minutes.
01:49:01.060If 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.
01:50:29.920Disney's doing things where you have magic bands and there's a My Disney Experience app.
01:50:35.120So Wednesday morning it gave me our room number.
01:50:38.180So we arrived at the hotel, walked down the sidewalk to our building, and we used our magic band to get into our room.
01:50:45.140No need to check in for the front desk or anything.
01:50:48.060We got up Thursday morning because we didn't arrive until late on Wednesday.
01:50:52.740And 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.
01:51:02.400So 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.
01:51:14.620When we were getting on the bus, the driver asked about her mask.
01:51:18.580I said she had a medical condition and he said, OK, we got on the bus.
01:55:46.360So 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.
01:56:00.980You 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.
01:57:01.440And 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.
01:57:12.600We 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.
01:57:58.320They won't give me a complete breakdown.
01:58:00.260Um, 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.
01:58:15.380I mean, these kids lost all their services since March, you know, their in-person therapy, their therapy, their education, their in-class support.
01:58:24.260Now school's coming back around and they want the kids to wear masks.
01:58:55.580And in order to be successful, they need the services and programs that were designed to help make them successful.
01:59:02.120They need the social skills that they get from interacting and being around other people.
01:59:07.960They are, if they're healthy physically, they're the lowest risk category there is for COVID.
01:59:15.800So 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.
01:59:29.360You know, there is some people like my mom who didn't choose to have the type of cancer she has.
01:59:34.740She's high risk, not because of anything she did herself, but she takes steps to protect herself.
01:59:40.700No, she doesn't demand other people stay inside to protect her.
02:00:46.800Like I said, from the support groups for other, you know, children, other parents who have children with extra needs.
02:00:55.080You 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.
02:01:09.160There's no official word either way coming down.
02:01:12.860And we're just in an awkward position.
02:02:35.220Tomorrow, we've got a great special for you, Brave New World.
02:02:38.740We have the look into what is actually happening with the Postal Service.
02:02:44.920You're not going to believe it because it's not the story you'll find anyplace else tomorrow night.
02:02:49.080I'm looking at this list of names that have been inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame that your name will now be up with.
02:02:55.260We have Abbott and Costello, Mel Allen, Gene Autry, Jack Benny, Harry Carey, Dick Clark, Jimmy Durante, Rick Dees, Bing Crosby, Mike Francesa, Bob Hope.
02:03:17.300I 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.
02:03:31.740It's like, you know, one of them doesn't really work.
