Transcript

00:00:00.060 The Blaze Radio Network.
00:00:04.760 On Demand.
00:00:06.700 Glenn Beck.
00:00:08.220 On the basis of sex.
00:00:11.020 Now I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that you probably didn't expect those words to come out of my mouth first thing today.
00:00:17.340 But it's not my version of clickbait.
00:00:20.180 Some sort of headline to get you to listen.
00:00:22.420 Although it may have just happened or may have just made everybody's stomach turn.
00:00:26.520 I'm not sure.
00:00:27.160 But this is the title to the new movie based on the life of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
00:00:35.460 Now progressives and liberals have been hovering over YouTube like a pack of rabid wolves anxiously awaiting for the first trailer to drop.
00:00:45.100 Three days ago, liberals all across the fruited plain got their wish.
00:00:51.220 I'm not going to ruin your day by playing the entire thing.
00:00:56.100 But I want you to hear just one piece of this trailer.
00:01:00.680 Listen carefully.
00:01:01.800 The word woman does not appear even once in the U.S. Constitution.
00:01:07.080 Nor does the word freedom.
00:01:10.100 Your Honor.
00:01:11.140 Oh my gosh, she got him.
00:01:14.060 Oh my gosh.
00:01:16.100 She got him.
00:01:16.860 Or did she?
00:01:46.660 Now my first thought after hearing that went something like this.
00:01:52.000 Oh, wait a minute.
00:01:53.840 Isn't the word freedom the fifth friggin word in the first sentence of the Bill of Rights?
00:02:03.240 I mean, who's counting?
00:02:04.900 But it's number five.
00:02:06.240 It shows up a second time, two sentences later.
00:02:10.960 Now, how do you screw this up?
00:02:14.380 Okay.
00:02:16.420 I've always assumed that liberal Hollywood, you know, had never really read the Constitution.
00:02:22.840 But this is remarkable because if this is based on what she believes, which it's supposed to be, then our own Supreme Court justice doesn't know the Constitution.
00:02:38.020 Now, this is my first thought.
00:02:41.020 My second thought is, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:02:44.240 Is the Bill of Rights technically considered the Constitution?
00:02:50.540 Could it be some sort of, you know, word game here that the Constitution is a Constitution?
00:02:57.040 This is the Bill of Rights, an addendum to the Constitution.
00:03:03.240 So, I actually called the National Constitution Center yesterday.
00:03:08.260 Uh, yeah, can you tell me, this might be a stupid question, but is the Bill of Rights officially considered the Constitution?
00:03:18.100 Uh, yeah, dummy, it is.
00:03:24.240 Okay, thanks for talking down to me for a second.
00:03:26.740 It's not a separate document.
00:03:28.880 It was ratified in 1791.
00:03:31.820 Really easy to check.
00:03:34.020 For anybody in Hollywood, it doesn't appear in the Constitution either.
00:03:38.960 Yes, it does.
00:03:40.820 Multiple times.
00:03:42.060 But then I had, and I, then I, then I took a journey in my head.
00:03:49.240 Why, why was that addendum put on to the Constitution?
00:03:55.700 Because our founders, who could never see anything coming,
00:04:02.160 really worried that at some time down the road,
00:04:06.200 somebody in Washington would start to pervert the idea of freedom.
00:04:12.540 And they would try to crush speech.
00:04:15.520 They would try to crush the press.
00:04:17.980 They would try to crush the individual choice of conscience.
00:04:22.940 They would try to crush your right to live free without somebody spying on you.
00:04:31.400 And so they said, you know what, I bet, I bet, no, people would never do that.
00:04:36.580 I don't know.
00:04:37.960 I mean, I know we can't see anything coming, or that's what they're going to say.
00:04:43.020 But I see the possibility of a government growing out of control
00:04:48.840 and then start to define rights as something other than the rights that we're all born with.
00:04:56.340 No.
00:04:57.020 Yeah, so that's why they added the Bill of Rights in 1791.
00:05:03.800 Now, either liberal Hollywood forgot that it changed in 1791,
00:05:07.980 or they actually prefer the vaguer pre-1791 version of the Constitution
00:05:15.460 where God-given and natural rights can be excluded if the state so pleases.
00:05:21.540 Now, think about this.
00:05:23.760 What is the greatest roadblock to the radical left's progress?
00:05:30.000 If you hate the fact that you can own a gun,
00:05:34.480 well, it would be the Constitution.
00:05:36.160 If you hate the fact that Fox News, or I, exist,
00:05:42.020 you'd have to destroy the Bill of Rights.
00:05:45.660 And it works both ways.
00:05:48.660 If you hate the idea of dissenting views,
00:05:53.060 or we've got to shut him up because he's just crazy.
00:05:58.180 The Bill of Rights is the clear and present danger to that agenda.
00:06:04.640 It's enemy number one.
00:06:06.640 You see, the new left, the left that is radically moving towards further and further and further,
00:06:15.740 the extreme, they hate 1791.
00:06:21.160 They hate it.
00:06:23.320 They wish it had never happened.
00:06:26.100 The Bill of Rights is, I think, the most important part of our Constitution.
00:06:31.380 It's a constant reminder that, I'm going to use that, I'm going to use the F word,
00:06:37.740 freedom isn't given by the government.
00:06:41.260 That they are granted by God and nature.
00:06:46.760 And that thought, you being aware of that,
00:06:52.880 scares the hell out of progressives.
00:06:56.580 Now, it is possible that I've put too much thought into this.
00:07:03.080 It is possible that the screenwriter just didn't know,
00:07:09.260 didn't do their homework,
00:07:10.780 probably thinks the Constitution is a dusty old document,
00:07:15.240 so why even read it?
00:07:17.920 And there's a possibility that the screenwriter made a mistake
00:07:22.840 and thought Ruth Bader Ginsburg was actually born before 1791,
00:07:28.660 so, you know, maybe she was going over the old one.
00:07:34.020 Personally, I can't see how you make this mistake if you're honest and intelligent.
00:07:39.500 But it is a sign.
00:07:41.380 It is a sign of the times that we live in
00:07:43.580 that the Bill of Rights is under attack,
00:07:46.060 now maybe more than ever.
00:07:47.700 And it has never been more important
00:07:50.780 to let the Constitution of 1791
00:07:55.340 be our guide, our true north, and our lighthouse.
00:08:03.660 It's Thursday, July 19th.
00:08:06.220 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:08:10.080 You know who I think one of my idols is?
00:08:12.280 I think I have a new, I think I have a new,
00:08:16.420 I hate to use the word idol,
00:08:20.020 but one of my new heroes is Jim Gaffigan.
00:08:26.340 Have you listened to his new concert
00:08:30.680 that is out now audio only, I think, called Noble Ape?
00:08:33.600 No.
00:08:34.240 Yeah, it dropped a couple of days ago,
00:08:36.140 and it is hysterical.
00:08:38.540 And I, you know, here's, he's going through,
00:08:42.640 he's had a really rough year.
00:08:44.340 You know, his wife had a brain tumor,
00:08:46.600 and it just,
00:08:47.720 Oh, wow.
00:08:48.320 You didn't know that?
00:08:49.180 Oh, yeah.
00:08:49.720 No.
00:08:49.880 She had a brain tumor.
00:08:51.720 You know, they have five children.
00:08:53.180 I know.
00:08:53.960 And really, I have a feeling,
00:08:56.220 I mean, he likes being a dad,
00:08:57.680 but I have a feeling, you know,
00:09:00.540 Jim may not have had five children
00:09:03.220 if it wasn't for her.
00:09:04.780 You know what I mean?
00:09:05.720 Uh, and, uh, and so she's like this mill.
00:09:10.000 He calls her a, uh, uh, what a jihadi Catholic.
00:09:15.320 Uh, and, and so there he's, you know,
00:09:18.120 she's always popping kids out.
00:09:19.960 And, uh, he had, they find out they're on the road.
00:09:24.420 They had just, she's the right.
00:09:27.340 They write everything together.
00:09:28.820 She's brilliant.
00:09:30.400 She's funny.
00:09:31.420 Uh, and, uh, they get along.
00:09:34.360 They're real partners in the true sense.
00:09:37.300 And, uh, they find out,
00:09:39.100 I don't remember what happens.
00:09:40.560 I think they were over in London
00:09:41.660 and she gets this blinding headache
00:09:43.880 and, uh, he takes her to the hospital
00:09:47.460 and they said that she has a brain tumor
00:09:50.240 and it's right in the center of her brain
00:09:52.880 and it's big and they don't know
00:09:54.640 if she's going to live.
00:09:55.640 So he's had a really bad year
00:09:59.400 and, and then he comes out with his album
00:10:03.940 and I'm listening to it yesterday
00:10:05.280 and I know that because they're writing partners,
00:10:08.660 uh, and she hasn't been in any condition
00:10:12.780 really to write, he's written most of this
00:10:15.660 and the way he takes on his wife's brain tumor,
00:10:19.660 I mean, we were just riddled with problems, right?
00:10:22.760 We just are, we get so tired
00:10:24.340 and we're like, oh my gosh,
00:10:25.380 I can't do it another day.
00:10:27.120 Look what's happening to the country.
00:10:29.240 I mean, I faced this half hour
00:10:31.220 where every day this week,
00:10:33.580 I have talked to you about Russia
00:10:35.700 and Trump and the press.
00:10:37.740 Every day this week at this time,
00:10:40.520 we've been talking about that.
00:10:42.320 And so I got in this morning and I'm like,
00:10:44.240 I can't do it another day.
00:10:48.120 And I thought, how did,
00:10:51.240 how did Jim Gaffigan find such great humor
00:10:57.400 in such a bleak circumstance?
00:11:02.160 I want to be more like that.
00:11:04.700 By the way, his, his CD is called A Noble Ape.
00:11:07.940 I don't even know if it's a CD.
00:11:09.260 It's just, it's been released on iTunes.
00:11:11.520 Um, and, uh, it's worth,
00:11:13.760 I mean, it's just so funny.
00:11:16.280 Here he is talking about his wife's brain tumor.
00:11:19.860 It's been a crazy year for me.
00:11:22.320 Crazy year.
00:11:22.900 I don't know if you know,
00:11:23.480 in April it was discovered
00:11:24.580 my wife had a brain tumor.
00:11:26.400 I'm not even making this up.
00:11:27.740 It was removed.
00:11:28.580 She's great.
00:11:29.680 Everything's good.
00:11:31.280 Thank you.
00:11:33.540 I didn't remove it.
00:11:34.920 I was in the other room soiling myself,
00:11:37.920 but the tumor is gone,
00:11:40.300 along with my ability
00:11:41.560 to ever win another argument.
00:11:43.400 It's not like I was winning a lot before,
00:11:47.600 but now I'm retired.
00:11:50.660 And luckily my wife's not the type to bring it up.
00:11:53.220 Well, one, she did.
00:11:54.100 She was like, you know,
00:11:54.740 I did have brain surgery,
00:11:56.700 and I couldn't be like,
00:11:57.600 yeah, that was like a month ago.
00:12:00.300 It's time to move on, you know?
00:12:02.900 What about my seasonal allergies?
00:12:07.360 We all have our cross to bear.
00:12:09.340 It was crazy.
00:12:13.640 You know, the surgeon told me
00:12:15.040 the tumor was the size of a pear,
00:12:17.560 which is scary, but also confusing.
00:12:20.120 I was like, did he go to med school
00:12:22.260 or a farmer's market?
00:12:25.500 But tumors are often compared to fruit.
00:12:28.740 A pear, a lemon, a grapefruit.
00:12:31.880 Interesting fact, worst tumor, grapefruit.
00:12:34.720 Worst fruit, grapefruit.
00:12:36.580 Play one more cut.
00:12:45.340 This is where he's talking about the doctors.
00:12:47.780 But I have a newfound respect for doctors.
00:12:49.980 I do.
00:12:50.620 Because when you think about it,
00:12:52.120 unless we're sick,
00:12:53.700 we listen to absolutely nothing doctors tell us.
00:12:57.400 They're like, you should lose weight.
00:12:58.880 Never gonna happen.
00:12:59.560 What else you got?
00:13:04.820 You should exercise.
00:13:06.620 Does eating french fries count?
00:13:09.220 Get out of my office.
00:13:12.960 You have to listen to Noble Abe.
00:13:15.620 You want to have some laughs today
00:13:17.960 at somebody else's expense?
00:13:21.480 Jim Gaffigan, Noble Abe.
00:13:23.180 So I want to talk to you a little bit
00:13:35.720 about selling your home.
00:13:36.920 If you are selling your home,
00:13:38.860 you need the right real estate agent.
00:13:42.320 You need somebody who knows your area,
00:13:44.760 knows how to sell the houses in your area,
00:13:47.400 how, you know, if it's worth,
00:13:49.640 your house is worth, you know, X number of dollars.
00:13:53.720 Somebody comes in and they don't know the area
00:13:56.160 and they don't know how to sell in your area.
00:13:59.140 They can completely screw you up.
00:14:01.520 So you need a real estate agent
00:14:03.300 that has a great track record,
00:14:06.160 has sold in your area,
00:14:09.680 knows what it's worth.
00:14:11.940 Now, when they come in,
00:14:12.980 they also need something else.
00:14:14.300 They need a good marketing plan.
00:14:16.580 You know, it's just not,
00:14:17.540 I'm just, please,
00:14:18.300 please just don't put balloons up
00:14:19.960 and a sign in my yard, please.
00:14:22.260 That's not a good marketing plan.
00:14:24.340 How are they going to sell your home?
00:14:26.520 Working with a right agent
00:14:28.000 makes a significant difference
00:14:29.880 in the outcome of buying or selling a home.
00:14:32.860 Mercury Real Estate has now over a thousand agents.
00:14:35.660 I actually think we have closer to 5,000 agents now
00:14:38.780 all over America
00:14:39.840 who are just like you.
00:14:41.240 Their word is their bond.
00:14:42.680 They're fans of the show.
00:14:43.740 They share your sensibilities.
00:14:45.080 And every single agent
00:14:46.420 has been individually fully vetted
00:14:49.140 and handpicked by my team
00:14:50.860 for their knowledge,
00:14:51.760 their skill,
00:14:52.340 and their track record.
00:14:53.660 And thousands of families
00:14:54.940 have already put
00:14:55.880 realestateagentsitrust.com
00:14:57.820 to the test.
00:14:58.940 And the results speak for themselves.

00:15:05.980 They're already helping people
00:15:07.400 who are moving to another area,
00:15:09.060 families who are taking care
00:15:10.540 of their parents remotely,
00:15:11.680 or just helping families
00:15:13.260 get the most for their home
00:15:14.520 as quickly as possible.
00:15:16.120 It's realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:15:20.260 realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:15:21.520 So I had a father-daughter date
00:15:27.720 last night
00:15:29.060 with my two older daughters,
00:15:32.240 Mary and Hannah.
00:15:32.920 They came over,
00:15:34.000 and my daughter Hannah,
00:15:36.160 well, both of them,
00:15:36.900 actually, Mary and Hannah,
00:15:38.000 have been watching Queer Eye,
00:15:39.280 the new Netflix series.
00:15:42.660 And they keep saying to me,
00:15:43.900 Dad, when are you going to watch
00:15:45.340 Queer Eye?
00:15:46.140 And I'm like,
00:15:46.580 well, when you have watched
00:15:48.320 The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.
00:15:52.940 And so they started watching Queer Eye,
00:15:55.600 and they came over last night,
00:15:56.660 and they were like,
00:15:57.140 gotta watch it, Dad.
00:15:57.940 One episode.
00:15:59.360 So I watched it.
00:16:00.540 Now, I was not a fan of the first one
00:16:02.860 just because I get it.
00:16:03.760 I got it.
00:16:04.200 I got it.
00:16:04.640 I got it.
00:16:05.060 I'm not...
00:16:06.200 I can only watch those makeover shows,
00:16:08.220 except for Chip and Johanna,
00:16:09.520 for some reason.
00:16:10.300 I can only watch those makeover shows
00:16:11.780 so many times.
00:16:13.460 And also,
00:16:14.640 my daughter is also addicted
00:16:16.280 to my,
00:16:17.860 what is it,
00:16:18.840 800-pound life,
00:16:20.520 or whatever that show is,
00:16:22.020 where they...
00:16:22.460 600, I think.
00:16:23.300 Yeah.
00:16:24.020 And she's just like,
00:16:25.140 Dad, it's just so gross,
00:16:26.380 and I'm just so fascinated by it.
00:16:28.100 And I'm like,
00:16:28.600 okay, well,
00:16:29.000 I don't watch shows with you.
00:16:31.900 But...
00:16:32.540 So they came over.
00:16:34.540 The premise is
00:16:35.840 that this time
00:16:37.920 they're going into red states,
00:16:39.640 and they're going to find people
00:16:41.640 that,
00:16:42.840 you know,
00:16:43.380 typically,
00:16:43.920 you wouldn't expect
00:16:45.420 people in these towns
00:16:48.040 to accept gays
00:16:51.060 or for people from New York
00:16:53.480 to come to these towns
00:16:54.700 and find friends.
00:16:56.240 Okay?
00:16:56.640 Mm-hmm.
00:16:57.140 And so they're in Georgia.
00:16:59.980 Are they setting it up
00:17:00.760 for failure, though?
00:17:02.000 No.
00:17:02.600 No?
00:17:02.940 No.
00:17:03.320 Really?
00:17:03.720 No.
00:17:04.600 It's the best portrayal
00:17:07.240 of red state people.
00:17:12.340 I've seen it.
00:17:13.040 I've only seen one episode.
00:17:14.140 Saw the first one.
00:17:14.800 And Hannah and Mary tell me
00:17:15.980 they're all like this.
00:17:17.100 Their point is to unite.
00:17:19.460 Mm-hmm.
00:17:19.760 And it was remarkable.
00:17:23.660 The first episode,
00:17:25.360 you will cry through.
00:17:27.080 It's this guy in Georgia,
00:17:29.540 and he starts out.
00:17:31.520 He's just a normal...
00:17:32.540 I mean, everybody knows this guy.
00:17:34.700 At least everybody outside
00:17:36.320 of New York City
00:17:37.200 knows this guy.
00:17:38.340 And he's just a...
00:17:40.760 He's a nice guy,
00:17:42.220 but he's been divorced
00:17:43.260 a couple of times,
00:17:44.320 and he's, you know,
00:17:46.560 he's 57 and out of shape,
00:17:49.260 and, you know,
00:17:49.940 wears dad pants
00:17:51.740 and, you know,
00:17:52.860 the white socks with his shoes,
00:17:54.980 and has really kind of given up.
00:17:57.940 And it's kind of sad
00:17:59.820 because you like him
00:18:00.980 almost immediately.
00:18:03.240 And he's got...
00:18:05.160 I can't remember.
00:18:05.700 I think it's lupus,
00:18:06.560 so his face is all kind of scarred up.
00:18:10.400 And he's, you know,
00:18:11.740 he's like,
00:18:12.320 I'm just...
00:18:12.900 You can't do anything with it.
00:18:13.880 You can't fix ugly.
00:18:15.580 And you can see these guys,
00:18:18.440 these five guys,
00:18:19.760 that really bothers them
00:18:22.220 because he says it a lot
00:18:23.620 towards the beginning.
00:18:24.680 And they finally sit him down,
00:18:26.220 and they're like,
00:18:27.380 dude, we didn't know you.
00:18:30.260 We love you.
00:18:32.380 Stop saying that.
00:18:33.880 You're not ugly.
00:18:34.800 And they trim his beard,
00:18:37.440 and they give him a haircut,
00:18:38.640 and they work on his house.
00:18:42.820 And there's somebody
00:18:45.160 who works on his diet.
00:18:46.940 Another guy works on his,
00:18:48.420 you know, the house.
00:18:50.280 Another guy works on his style.
00:18:52.520 Another guy worked on his face
00:18:54.300 to help him with the lupus.
00:18:57.060 And in a week's time,
00:18:59.580 this guy's life had changed.
00:19:01.240 He said, you know,
00:19:03.200 I've been like this
00:19:04.060 for about 15 years.
00:19:05.300 I just kind of gave up
00:19:06.200 15 years ago.
00:19:07.260 He met a girl that he loved,
00:19:09.580 and they got divorced.
00:19:12.140 It didn't go into why.
00:19:13.960 And you could tell.
00:19:15.200 I mean, every time he talked about her,
00:19:17.000 you could tell how much he loved her.
00:19:20.180 And he just didn't have the confidence
00:19:22.100 to go back and say,
00:19:24.140 let's...
00:19:26.400 What did we do?
00:19:27.460 Uh, and, uh,
00:19:30.820 and in the end,
00:19:32.280 he calls her up
00:19:34.460 and, uh, asks her out for a date.
00:19:37.720 It goes really well.
00:19:39.760 Uh, they show it.
00:19:41.060 The, the postscript,
00:19:43.040 not in the show,
00:19:43.740 postscript is,
00:19:44.680 they got married.
00:19:46.280 The two of them got remarried.
00:19:48.000 That's pretty cool.
00:19:48.700 It is.
00:19:49.400 You have to watch it.
00:19:50.960 It is.
00:19:51.580 If you want to watch something
00:19:53.380 where people who are supposedly
00:19:56.240 not supposed to get along,
00:19:58.100 get along and end up loving each other,
00:20:00.600 Queer Eye, Netflix.
00:20:02.460 Oh, there's been a huge buildup,

00:21:05.840 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:21:08.280 So we have a,
00:21:09.240 we have a fascinating story.
00:21:13.120 A Monday,
00:21:14.640 while the president was giving his speech in Russia,
00:21:17.400 we were talking to Bill Browder.
00:21:19.140 Now, Bill Browder is the guy
00:21:20.920 whose attorney,
00:21:22.660 Magninsky,
00:21:24.080 was,
00:21:25.300 was beaten
00:21:27.720 and executed,
00:21:30.140 murdered
00:21:31.140 by Vladimir Putin.
00:21:33.900 He was a guy
00:21:35.540 who was trying
00:21:36.240 just to uncover corruption.
00:21:39.820 Bill was paying this attorney
00:21:41.880 to do some business
00:21:43.460 over in Russia.
00:21:44.860 This was a Russian attorney.
00:21:46.220 He found corruption
00:21:48.040 and he said,
00:21:49.240 I've got to expose this
00:21:50.520 as a,
00:21:50.960 as a Russian citizen.
00:21:51.940 I have to expose this.
00:21:53.300 So he brings it to the authorities
00:21:55.380 thinking that they,
00:21:56.720 they care.
00:21:58.020 Well,
00:21:58.640 they did care,
00:21:59.640 but just
00:22:00.800 to keep him
00:22:02.080 shut up
00:22:02.980 because the corruption
00:22:04.260 was coming from the highest levels.
00:22:06.160 So he's taken in,
00:22:07.800 he's arrested,
00:22:08.680 he's beaten
00:22:09.760 and then executed.
00:22:11.500 So the Magninsky Act,
00:22:14.840 this is the,
00:22:15.660 this is the big thing
00:22:16.800 with Russia
00:22:17.600 and why Trump
00:22:19.040 was meeting
00:22:19.760 with the Russians
00:22:20.520 in the Trump Tower
00:22:21.320 to get the Magninsky Act
00:22:23.220 repealed.
00:22:26.220 Bill,
00:22:27.100 the guy who hired
00:22:28.620 Magninsky,
00:22:29.460 the attorney,
00:22:31.080 he is the guy
00:22:32.760 responsible for that act.
00:22:34.860 He's the guy
00:22:35.640 who said,
00:22:36.560 you know what,
00:22:37.460 I,
00:22:38.220 we have to do something.
00:22:40.460 Putin is a really bad guy
00:22:42.440 and the only way
00:22:43.660 you're going to affect him
00:22:44.760 is by affecting
00:22:45.940 the,
00:22:46.380 the income
00:22:47.200 of the oligarchs
00:22:48.600 around him.
00:22:50.280 Now this has made him
00:22:51.840 enemy number one
00:22:52.980 to Putin
00:22:53.560 and all of the oligarchs
00:22:55.480 because
00:22:55.840 our sanctions
00:22:57.400 are based
00:22:58.520 on the Magninsky Act.
00:23:01.380 Bill
00:23:01.880 is targeted
00:23:03.220 and he's targeted
00:23:04.520 by Putin
00:23:05.240 and
00:23:06.320 the
00:23:06.920 truly amazing
00:23:08.380 thing
00:23:08.960 is that
00:23:10.640 Putin
00:23:11.780 hasn't
00:23:12.460 gotten a hold
00:23:13.080 of him yet.
00:23:14.160 He has tried
00:23:14.740 to have him
00:23:15.240 arrested
00:23:15.700 in Spain.
00:23:18.040 Bill,
00:23:18.720 we can't even
00:23:19.140 tell you
00:23:19.520 where his location
00:23:20.440 is
00:23:20.940 but here's
00:23:22.320 the update.
00:23:22.940 While we were
00:23:23.620 talking about him
00:23:24.460 Monday,
00:23:25.800 while we were
00:23:26.260 talking to him
00:23:27.140 on Monday,
00:23:28.300 Putin
00:23:28.660 and Trump
00:23:29.420 were talking
00:23:29.940 about him
00:23:30.820 in the press
00:23:31.540 conference
00:23:31.960 and Putin
00:23:32.940 made this
00:23:33.980 wonderful gesture
00:23:35.160 of,
00:23:35.900 look,
00:23:36.700 I tell you what,
00:23:37.380 I'll send
00:23:38.020 over my
00:23:38.520 KGB
00:23:39.000 agents,
00:23:39.800 you send
00:23:40.380 over some
00:23:40.940 people that
00:23:41.400 I want
00:23:41.720 to talk
00:23:42.040 to and
00:23:42.860 he mentioned
00:23:43.500 Bill Browder
00:23:44.100 by name.
00:23:46.040 Now,
00:23:46.280 Jason
00:23:46.640 Batrill is here
00:23:47.400 and Jason
00:23:48.180 is our
00:23:49.000 national security
00:23:49.780 guy and
00:23:50.700 when we
00:23:51.540 heard that,
00:23:52.320 we thought,
00:23:53.120 well,
00:23:53.180 there's no way
00:23:53.660 that's going
00:23:54.000 to happen,
00:23:54.380 right?
00:23:55.560 No way.
00:23:56.260 No way.
00:23:56.880 No way.
00:23:59.120 Donald Trump
00:24:00.180 yesterday,
00:24:01.400 we found out,
00:24:02.320 is actually
00:24:03.560 considering
00:24:04.760 sending Bill
00:24:06.920 Browder
00:24:07.500 to Putin
00:24:08.700 for questioning.
00:24:11.600 What does
00:24:12.260 that mean,
00:24:12.880 Jason,
00:24:13.920 to Bill,
00:24:14.720 you suppose?
00:24:16.040 The same
00:24:16.920 thing,
00:24:17.520 basically,
00:24:18.060 as Magnitsky.
00:24:19.200 I mean,
00:24:19.460 that's,
00:24:19.720 you're delivering
00:24:20.360 him up,
00:24:21.140 basically,
00:24:21.520 for the same
00:24:21.960 fate.
00:24:22.240 To be killed.
00:24:22.620 He has been
00:24:23.040 called a threat
00:24:24.280 to Russian
00:24:24.740 national security,
00:24:25.800 enemy number
00:24:26.480 one to
00:24:27.400 Vladimir Putin.
00:24:28.480 So,
00:24:28.780 the context
00:24:29.480 of this
00:24:30.020 is crazy.
00:24:31.120 They've been
00:24:31.380 going after him
00:24:32.340 for years,
00:24:33.320 he's been
00:24:34.000 on the
00:24:34.440 Interpol
00:24:34.920 list
00:24:35.340 six times,
00:24:37.360 actually detained
00:24:38.040 back,
00:24:38.360 I think,
00:24:38.540 in March
00:24:38.960 in Spain.
00:24:40.080 They want
00:24:40.620 him so
00:24:41.260 badly,
00:24:42.540 which is
00:24:43.260 just so
00:24:43.880 ludicrous.
00:24:44.580 I heard
00:24:45.640 Putin say
00:24:46.140 that,
00:24:47.140 and I
00:24:47.400 didn't even
00:24:47.760 think that
00:24:48.360 that was
00:24:48.760 a legitimate
00:24:49.440 request.
00:24:50.340 I'm looking
00:24:50.940 for Bill
00:24:52.600 to actually
00:24:53.080 get on the
00:24:53.460 phone,
00:24:53.700 and apparently
00:24:54.020 he's on
00:24:54.540 hold now.
00:24:56.260 I'm here.
00:24:57.020 Yes,
00:24:57.360 I'm sorry,
00:24:57.880 Bill.
00:24:58.060 We were
00:24:58.440 stalling until
00:24:59.060 you got on,
00:24:59.660 and I didn't
00:25:00.040 even see it.
00:25:01.300 Bill,
00:25:01.780 thank you for
00:25:02.300 being on.
00:25:03.320 What is
00:25:06.240 this like
00:25:06.800 for you?
00:25:09.280 Well,
00:25:10.060 let me just
00:25:10.880 add one
00:25:11.340 other layer
00:25:12.460 of horribleness
00:25:13.300 to this,
00:25:13.920 and then let's
00:25:14.720 talk about
00:25:15.080 what it's
00:25:15.400 like for me.
00:25:16.520 So Vladimir
00:25:17.340 Putin wants
00:25:18.580 me,
00:25:19.180 and he
00:25:19.460 announced that
00:25:19.940 he wanted
00:25:20.260 me in that
00:25:21.920 press conference
00:25:22.780 in Helsinki,
00:25:23.840 and Trump
00:25:24.220 said,
00:25:24.680 Trump said,
00:25:25.300 incredible offer.
00:25:26.160 But then,
00:25:27.400 and this
00:25:27.660 is the
00:25:27.940 really
00:25:28.220 shocking,
00:25:29.560 shocking,
00:25:30.080 more shocking
00:25:30.780 part,
00:25:31.120 I should
00:25:31.280 say,
00:25:32.000 is that the
00:25:32.440 next day,
00:25:33.180 they said
00:25:33.500 they wanted
00:25:33.800 me and
00:25:34.620 some Americans,
00:25:35.260 and they
00:25:35.620 made a list
00:25:36.140 of Americans
00:25:36.720 that they
00:25:37.080 also want,
00:25:38.320 and that
00:25:38.720 list includes
00:25:39.960 the people
00:25:41.460 who were
00:25:42.220 involved in
00:25:42.900 Washington,
00:25:44.360 in Congress,
00:25:46.080 in the State
00:25:46.600 Department of
00:25:47.760 passing the
00:25:48.380 Magnitsky Act,
00:25:49.180 and it
00:25:50.080 also includes
00:25:50.840 special agents
00:25:52.060 from the
00:25:52.480 Department of
00:25:53.040 Homeland Security
00:25:54.020 who were
00:25:54.940 investigating
00:25:55.540 money laundering
00:25:56.660 in the
00:25:57.060 United States
00:25:57.720 connected to
00:25:58.580 the Magnitsky
00:25:59.120 Act.
00:26:00.160 So,
00:26:00.860 basically,
00:26:02.160 what Putin
00:26:02.960 wants is to
00:26:03.560 go after
00:26:03.880 everybody in
00:26:05.180 the United
00:26:05.500 States at
00:26:06.260 a top level
00:26:06.980 who had
00:26:07.640 something to
00:26:08.120 do with
00:26:09.040 causing the
00:26:09.800 Magnitsky Act
00:26:10.460 and causing
00:26:10.880 all this
00:26:11.240 trouble.
00:26:12.220 So you
00:26:12.460 had to have
00:26:13.060 hoped that
00:26:15.640 on Monday
00:26:16.460 that the
00:26:17.260 president was
00:26:17.900 saying,
00:26:18.140 well,
00:26:18.300 that's an
00:26:18.540 incredible
00:26:18.820 thing,
00:26:19.180 and he
00:26:19.760 wasn't
00:26:20.080 serious and
00:26:20.700 it wasn't
00:26:21.040 going to
00:26:21.180 happen.
00:26:22.080 Yesterday,
00:26:22.780 we find
00:26:23.160 out that
00:26:23.620 he's still
00:26:24.540 considering
00:26:25.180 this.
00:26:26.520 So he's
00:26:27.500 considering
00:26:27.860 handing over
00:26:28.660 people who
00:26:29.260 have been
00:26:29.560 serving the
00:26:30.220 country to
00:26:31.460 fight Russian
00:26:32.240 evil to
00:26:33.660 the Russians.
00:26:35.400 Just let
00:26:36.360 that sink in
00:26:36.980 for a second.
00:26:37.580 These are
00:26:37.880 patriots.
00:26:39.080 These are
00:26:39.860 patriots who
00:26:40.700 aren't making
00:26:41.440 money in
00:26:41.960 business,
00:26:42.800 who aren't
00:26:43.160 going out in
00:26:44.220 entertainment.
00:26:45.160 They're toiling
00:26:45.860 away in
00:26:46.400 Washington,
00:26:47.340 serving the
00:26:47.820 country.
00:26:48.220 There's
00:26:48.740 no way
00:26:49.020 this will
00:26:49.300 happen.
00:26:49.360 In the
00:26:49.440 service of
00:26:49.940 the United
00:26:50.200 States.
00:26:50.800 There's
00:26:51.020 no way
00:26:51.360 this will
00:26:51.620 happen.
00:26:51.640 Well, I
00:26:53.100 mean, they
00:26:53.700 said we're
00:26:54.280 considering it.
00:26:55.080 I will tell
00:26:56.740 you this, Bill.
00:26:57.600 I don't
00:26:58.400 believe the
00:26:59.020 American people
00:26:59.800 would ever
00:27:00.500 allow that
00:27:01.440 to happen.
00:27:02.120 I mean, look,
00:27:02.940 I'm a guy who
00:27:03.640 was against
00:27:04.380 Donald Trump,
00:27:05.380 and I'm for
00:27:06.400 some of his
00:27:07.020 policies.
00:27:08.100 I don't like
00:27:10.140 his character,
00:27:11.460 but some of
00:27:12.020 his policies
00:27:12.580 are good.
00:27:13.040 but I'll
00:27:13.560 tell you, I
00:27:14.540 am not an
00:27:15.400 impeachment guy
00:27:16.400 by any stretch
00:27:17.720 of the
00:27:17.920 imagination.
00:27:19.160 If Donald
00:27:19.700 Trump sends
00:27:20.560 you or
00:27:21.400 anybody else
00:27:22.580 over to
00:27:23.780 Putin, I'm
00:27:25.800 done.
00:27:26.320 I'm done.
00:27:27.060 And I think a
00:27:28.020 lot of Americans
00:27:28.700 would say,
00:27:29.540 okay, there's
00:27:31.100 the line.
00:27:31.860 There's the
00:27:32.300 line.
00:27:32.780 You cannot
00:27:33.800 send people
00:27:34.800 like you over
00:27:35.360 there.
00:27:35.820 Can't.
00:27:36.380 That's a death
00:27:36.880 sentence, is it
00:27:37.600 not?
00:27:38.740 It's a death
00:27:39.520 sentence, 100%
00:27:40.320 for sure.
00:27:41.560 There's no
00:27:42.320 ifs, ands,
00:27:43.760 or buts.
00:27:44.540 Vladimir Putin
00:27:45.180 wants to kill
00:27:45.860 me.
00:27:46.340 There's no
00:27:46.760 question about
00:27:47.420 that.
00:27:50.020 So, Bill, I
00:27:52.200 don't want you
00:27:52.880 obviously to get
00:27:53.640 into any
00:27:54.180 specifics, but
00:27:56.020 has your life
00:27:56.880 changed now?
00:27:57.980 Do you, I
00:27:59.200 mean, you've
00:27:59.620 always been
00:28:00.160 watching your
00:28:00.700 back, but
00:28:01.480 are you safe?
00:28:04.440 Well, I've
00:28:05.060 never been
00:28:05.380 safe.
00:28:05.820 I mean, so
00:28:06.260 I actually,
00:28:07.240 the Magnitsky
00:28:08.740 Act is a
00:28:09.740 piece of
00:28:10.040 legislation
00:28:10.580 which remarkably
00:28:12.420 hits, it's
00:28:14.140 like in a
00:28:14.460 game of
00:28:14.760 battleship.
00:28:15.340 You never
00:28:15.560 know whether
00:28:16.480 you hit the
00:28:16.960 ship or not.
00:28:17.680 We got a
00:28:18.240 direct hit right
00:28:19.480 between the
00:28:19.960 eyes of
00:28:20.340 Vladimir Putin
00:28:20.960 because the
00:28:21.900 Magnitsky Act
00:28:22.500 goes after
00:28:23.020 money and
00:28:24.160 their ability
00:28:24.680 to travel of
00:28:25.900 Putin and
00:28:26.420 his oligarchs.
00:28:27.740 And these
00:28:27.980 guys are so
00:28:29.180 terrified of
00:28:30.060 having all the
00:28:31.260 money that
00:28:31.640 they've stolen
00:28:32.140 in Russia
00:28:32.640 frozen in the
00:28:33.620 West.
00:28:34.120 It completely
00:28:34.840 hits them
00:28:35.880 where it
00:28:36.200 counts.
00:28:37.360 And as a
00:28:39.120 result, and
00:28:39.780 this is not
00:28:40.180 something that
00:28:40.520 just happened
00:28:40.940 on this week,
00:28:42.060 this has been
00:28:42.440 going on for
00:28:42.940 years now,
00:28:43.840 they've been
00:28:44.160 coming after
00:28:44.620 me.
00:28:44.840 As you
00:28:45.040 mentioned,
00:28:45.900 they're now
00:28:46.520 on their
00:28:46.800 seventh Interpol
00:28:47.920 arrest warrant
00:28:48.940 for me.
00:28:50.120 As you also
00:28:50.820 mentioned, I
00:28:51.200 was arrested in
00:28:51.800 Madrid, Spain
00:28:52.500 on May 30th on
00:28:53.820 a Russian
00:28:54.180 Interpol arrest
00:28:55.260 warrant.
00:28:55.960 I've been
00:28:56.300 stopped at
00:28:56.800 borders, all
00:28:57.520 sorts of
00:28:57.860 stuff, because
00:28:58.700 the Russians
00:28:59.140 are trying to
00:28:59.960 get me.
00:29:00.720 Now, fortunately,
00:29:01.500 up until this
00:29:02.160 moment, the
00:29:03.200 Western world
00:29:03.900 protected me.
00:29:04.660 And when I
00:29:05.300 say the
00:29:05.500 Western world, I
00:29:06.180 mean the
00:29:06.460 countries, the
00:29:06.920 United States,
00:29:07.600 Canada, Australia,
00:29:08.600 the United
00:29:08.820 Kingdom, Germany,
00:29:10.200 France, etc.
00:29:11.740 And now all of a
00:29:12.340 sudden, the most
00:29:14.360 powerful man in the
00:29:15.180 free world says
00:29:15.960 that's an incredible
00:29:17.000 offer.
00:29:20.040 It's truly
00:29:20.820 remarkable.
00:29:21.360 Well, you can
00:29:23.140 rest a little
00:29:24.560 bit that he's
00:29:26.680 pissed off, you
00:29:29.200 know, France and
00:29:30.120 England so much,
00:29:31.120 they might just
00:29:31.780 double their
00:29:32.280 protection of you
00:29:33.120 just to spite
00:29:33.880 him.
00:29:35.540 But I
00:29:36.840 can point out
00:29:38.080 that I emigrated
00:29:39.640 29 years ago to
00:29:41.000 England.
00:29:41.400 I'm a British
00:29:41.800 citizen.
00:29:42.320 I've been living
00:29:42.660 there for 29
00:29:43.280 years, and the
00:29:43.900 British government
00:29:44.400 fully protects me.
00:29:45.800 So, I mean,
00:29:46.500 Donald Trump
00:29:46.880 doesn't actually
00:29:47.340 have the jurisdiction
00:29:48.060 to hand me over
00:29:48.700 to the Russians.
00:29:49.480 But the fact that
00:29:51.160 he's even
00:29:52.120 considering it,
00:29:53.120 and most
00:29:53.800 shockingly, that
00:29:55.200 he's considering
00:29:55.880 handing over
00:29:56.880 people who
00:29:57.440 are serving the
00:29:58.920 American government,
00:30:00.800 who are serving
00:30:01.300 America, in
00:30:02.560 service to
00:30:03.080 America, in
00:30:04.260 fighting Putin,
00:30:05.320 to Putin, into
00:30:06.440 the enemy
00:30:07.000 clutches, that's
00:30:08.240 the most outrageous
00:30:08.880 part of this
00:30:09.400 whole story.
00:30:13.200 You know, I
00:30:14.900 said, what,
00:30:16.520 10, 15 years
00:30:17.380 ago, there's
00:30:18.280 going to come a
00:30:18.700 time when you
00:30:19.340 just do not
00:30:20.440 recognize your
00:30:21.340 country.
00:30:22.560 And I
00:30:24.300 felt that way
00:30:25.140 now for
00:30:25.700 probably about
00:30:26.320 five or six
00:30:27.660 years, where I
00:30:28.540 just, I'm like,
00:30:29.680 holy cow, every
00:30:30.940 day there's
00:30:31.400 something.
00:30:32.040 This is maybe
00:30:33.140 one of the
00:30:33.680 most significant.
00:30:36.740 The, you know,
00:30:37.700 the press
00:30:39.660 conference was
00:30:40.880 bad, the
00:30:43.060 kissing up,
00:30:44.900 you know, and
00:30:45.340 I can understand
00:30:46.720 both sides on
00:30:48.400 this.
00:30:49.040 I don't
00:30:49.720 excuse him by
00:30:50.960 any stretch.
00:30:52.600 However, this
00:30:54.780 finding out, you
00:30:56.060 know, yesterday
00:30:56.640 that he is
00:30:57.720 seriously
00:30:58.440 considering this
00:30:59.580 is, I don't
00:31:02.660 recognize my
00:31:03.420 country.
00:31:04.020 I do not
00:31:04.580 recognize my
00:31:05.280 country.
00:31:07.000 Bill, stay
00:31:09.820 safe.
00:31:10.340 let us
00:31:12.280 know.
00:31:12.860 Please count
00:31:13.500 us in your
00:31:14.120 corner.
00:31:15.220 If there is
00:31:16.200 any time you
00:31:17.100 need to ring a
00:31:18.040 warning bell, you
00:31:19.780 call us.
00:31:21.460 We will get the
00:31:22.520 word out.
00:31:24.440 You know, this
00:31:25.380 has got to
00:31:25.960 stop.
00:31:26.560 This has got to
00:31:27.400 stop.
00:31:28.560 England is
00:31:29.800 unshakable with
00:31:31.800 you.
00:31:32.100 They're
00:31:34.120 unshakable.
00:31:34.820 Nothing is
00:31:35.300 going to
00:31:35.480 happen to
00:31:35.820 me while
00:31:36.620 I'm in
00:31:36.820 England.
00:31:39.240 Unless Putin
00:31:40.060 goes in and
00:31:41.000 kills somebody
00:31:41.500 again on
00:31:42.180 English soil.
00:31:44.340 And you
00:31:44.540 don't have
00:31:45.200 anybody, you
00:31:46.600 don't have the
00:31:47.060 left in
00:31:47.620 England pussy
00:31:49.940 footing around
00:31:50.640 with you or
00:31:51.480 anything.
00:31:51.940 I mean, you're
00:31:52.340 good in
00:31:53.860 England.
00:31:55.680 In England, we
00:31:57.420 have a thousand
00:31:58.720 years of rule
00:32:00.020 of law.
00:32:00.440 the courts
00:32:01.660 would never
00:32:02.100 allow me to
00:32:02.960 be sent back
00:32:04.000 to Russia.
00:32:05.340 Bill, stay
00:32:06.680 safe.
00:32:07.380 Keep your
00:32:07.920 family safe and
00:32:08.760 we will pray
00:32:09.420 for you.
00:32:10.180 Please call us
00:32:11.200 if there's
00:32:11.660 anything that
00:32:12.380 you need.
00:32:13.940 Thank you,
00:32:14.580 sir.
00:32:14.840 Thank you,
00:32:15.180 Bill.
00:32:15.460 Have a good
00:32:15.760 day.
00:32:16.600 Bye-bye.
00:32:17.220 It's pretty
00:32:17.720 chilling.
00:32:18.620 It's amazing.
00:32:20.300 So there's my
00:32:21.240 line.
00:32:22.020 I think that's
00:32:22.580 my line.
00:32:23.480 I think that
00:32:24.340 is my line.
00:32:25.000 That's my line.
00:32:26.500 For me, too.
00:32:27.140 You can't turn
00:32:28.240 over.
00:32:28.740 Well, he's not
00:32:29.260 an American citizen
00:32:29.960 anymore.
00:32:30.300 So we don't
00:32:31.300 have the ability
00:32:32.020 to turn him
00:32:32.540 over.
00:32:32.800 If he turns
00:32:33.220 anyone over,
00:32:34.660 you know what?
00:32:35.220 I'm so close to
00:32:36.980 the line.
00:32:37.800 When he said
00:32:38.440 that on
00:32:39.380 Monday, I'm
00:32:41.040 thinking, okay,
00:32:42.080 he just got
00:32:42.980 out of a
00:32:43.420 meeting.
00:32:44.080 He hasn't
00:32:44.600 talked to his
00:32:45.300 advisors.
00:32:46.080 He hasn't
00:32:46.560 talked to
00:32:46.900 anybody.
00:32:47.740 You know, he's
00:32:48.400 in with Putin.
00:32:49.420 Putin's doing
00:32:50.060 what Putin
00:32:50.680 does.
00:32:51.580 He does this
00:32:52.520 conference.
00:32:54.880 Trump is doing
00:32:55.880 what Trump
00:32:56.380 does, all
00:32:56.980 hyperbole.
00:32:57.740 Well, that's
00:32:58.120 quite an
00:32:58.520 offer, blah,
00:32:59.560 blah, blah.
00:32:59.820 But to
00:33:00.500 come back
00:33:01.360 and on
00:33:02.460 Wednesday, you've
00:33:03.360 been home for
00:33:03.860 two days, and
00:33:05.700 on Wednesday, still
00:33:07.800 say, well, we're
00:33:08.700 considering that.
00:33:09.780 No, no, no, no,
00:33:10.740 no, no, no, no.
00:33:12.880 That's really,
00:33:14.660 that's very, very
00:33:17.000 disturbing.
00:33:18.100 Can I put into
00:33:18.440 context just how
00:33:19.080 dangerous Bill
00:33:20.020 Browder is to the
00:33:21.340 Putin regime?
00:33:21.820 So we've called
00:33:22.880 the Putin regime
00:33:23.460 kleptocratic, you
00:33:24.620 know, that's
00:33:25.700 basically, it's
00:33:26.240 not really a
00:33:26.580 democracy, it's
00:33:27.180 not really
00:33:27.500 anything else, it's
00:33:28.120 a kleptocratic
00:33:28.940 regime.
00:33:30.220 And the whole
00:33:31.000 way, this is an
00:33:31.660 example of how
00:33:32.440 Putin even got
00:33:33.280 into power to
00:33:34.000 begin with.
00:33:34.980 He was very,
00:33:35.940 very tight with
00:33:37.060 a man named
00:33:37.380 Roman Abramovich,
00:33:38.740 who actually
00:33:39.700 lived in the
00:33:40.260 Kremlin for a
00:33:40.860 time.
00:33:41.420 He started off as
00:33:42.180 a street vendor
00:33:42.880 selling toys.
00:33:44.300 Today, after
00:33:45.020 helping Putin get
00:33:46.020 into office and
00:33:47.200 intertwining himself
00:33:48.540 in the country, he's
00:33:49.820 one of the most
00:33:50.220 richest men in the
00:33:50.980 world, a gazillionaire
00:33:52.720 basically, he now
00:33:54.120 owns Chelsea
00:33:54.740 Football Club.
00:33:56.100 Look this guy up,
00:33:57.120 it's a crazy story,
00:33:58.360 but it shows you how
00:33:59.440 interconnected
00:34:00.260 oligarchs, big
00:34:01.760 businessmen are, and
00:34:03.120 how they get things
00:34:03.920 done in Russia.
00:34:05.260 So it's the mafia,
00:34:07.240 it's big businessmen,
00:34:08.240 oligarchs, all working
00:34:09.460 in concert with the
00:34:10.580 government, basically
00:34:11.240 just to make
00:34:11.740 themselves richer, to
00:34:12.680 steal from their
00:34:13.120 people and to make
00:34:13.700 people richer.
00:34:14.520 Now what the
00:34:15.040 Magnitsky Act does is
00:34:16.400 it targets those
00:34:17.000 people, it lays the
00:34:17.820 blueprint to how to
00:34:18.900 bring Putin down and
00:34:20.260 Browder delivered
00:34:21.100 that.
00:34:21.820 That's why he's so
00:34:22.560 dangerous.
00:34:24.200 So one more thing
00:34:25.600 on Trump, I don't
00:34:27.640 believe that Trump
00:34:28.900 is, you know, I
00:34:30.160 don't believe he
00:34:30.880 would have people
00:34:31.860 killed and blah, blah,
00:34:33.080 blah, I don't
00:34:33.580 believe any of that.
00:34:35.240 However, the thing
00:34:36.660 about Donald Trump
00:34:37.660 living in New York
00:34:38.880 City, you kind of
00:34:41.180 like Donald Trump
00:34:42.340 when you live in New
00:34:43.200 York City because the
00:34:44.900 guy gets it done.
00:34:46.620 For instance, how
00:34:47.700 many times did we
00:34:48.380 say when they were
00:34:49.640 planning to rebuild
00:34:51.460 the World Trade
00:34:52.060 Center tower, let
00:34:53.200 Donald Trump do it.
00:34:54.100 Yeah, he'll get it
00:34:54.760 done.
00:34:55.120 He'll get it done.
00:34:55.960 And the reason
00:34:56.500 doesn't have to be
00:34:56.760 11 years down the
00:34:57.960 road.
00:34:58.280 Correct.
00:34:58.740 And he has many
00:35:00.280 examples.
00:35:00.840 For instance, the
00:35:01.700 ice rink in in New
00:35:04.880 York City in the in
00:35:06.020 Central Park.
00:35:07.200 They that was a
00:35:08.320 debacle that went
00:35:09.700 on for a decade and
00:35:12.020 they couldn't fix an
00:35:13.100 ice rink.
00:35:13.800 And finally, he
00:35:15.400 stood up and said,
00:35:16.340 you know what?
00:35:16.800 I'm going to do it.
00:35:17.960 I'm going to do it.
00:35:18.680 Everybody get out.
00:35:19.800 It was open within a
00:35:21.060 year and it was
00:35:22.440 great when they said
00:35:24.700 you can't develop all
00:35:26.260 of this land by the
00:35:27.540 West Side Highway,
00:35:28.760 you know, because it's
00:35:30.100 it's a garbage dump
00:35:31.580 and it's it's, you
00:35:32.620 know, right up against
00:35:33.520 the what he said.
00:35:34.300 OK, I'll do it.
00:35:35.740 Go down that West
00:35:36.380 Side Highway now.
00:35:37.260 Yeah, it's you go
00:35:38.240 underneath all of
00:35:40.020 the Donald Trump
00:35:40.700 hotels.
00:35:41.400 OK, and they were up
00:35:42.580 so fast.
00:35:43.800 I remember seeing a
00:35:45.960 garbage sanitation
00:35:47.040 building took about
00:35:48.480 three years to build
00:35:49.900 in that time.
00:35:51.340 Three Donald Trump
00:35:52.580 hotels were built.
00:35:54.820 OK, he gets things
00:35:56.460 done.
00:35:57.620 That's the thing that
00:35:58.940 he has in common with
00:36:00.300 Putin.
00:36:01.240 You don't want to ask
00:36:02.440 Donald Trump, how did
00:36:04.240 you cut that?
00:36:04.880 How did you get that
00:36:05.620 done in this city?
00:36:06.740 Don't ask.
00:36:07.860 Don't ask.
00:36:08.780 That's the part where
00:36:11.220 they connect is
00:36:13.240 they'll get it done.
00:36:16.820 Putin will just kill
00:36:18.040 people in elevators
00:36:19.140 to get it done.
00:36:22.480 All right, let me talk
00:36:23.320 to you a little bit
00:36:23.740 about simply safe,
00:36:25.100 simply safe.

00:36:30.160 you want cutting edge
00:36:31.720 technology that works,
00:36:33.520 that is almost
00:36:36.240 invisible.
00:36:37.160 I mean, really,
00:36:37.980 really small.
00:36:39.220 You'll never notice it,
00:36:40.820 but I'm telling you
00:36:41.620 something goes wrong

00:37:27.540 Welcome to the
00:37:28.340 program.
00:37:29.000 I'm so glad that you
00:37:30.820 have joined us
00:37:32.020 coming up next.
00:37:34.300 We have Selena
00:37:35.640 Zito.
00:37:36.140 She is probably the
00:37:38.100 only reporter in
00:37:39.440 America who I think
00:37:40.620 understands the red
00:37:42.520 state and how people
00:37:44.060 are thinking.
00:37:45.180 We're going to talk
00:37:46.280 to her about what
00:37:47.560 the media is thinking
00:37:49.000 and what her
00:37:50.480 perception of this
00:37:51.340 week is back.
00:37:53.240 Mercury.
00:37:56.500 Glenn Beck.
00:37:58.500 It's Thursday, July
00:37:59.680 19th.
00:38:00.940 This is the Glenn
00:38:01.940 Beck Program.
00:38:02.840 I want to start
00:38:03.900 with this audio of
00:38:07.360 Sean Spicer being
00:38:08.700 interviewed about the
00:38:09.940 president.
00:38:10.500 Is the president a
00:38:11.660 truthful person?
00:38:12.880 I believe so.
00:38:14.340 You never felt like he
00:38:15.720 had you go out there
00:38:17.040 and stick your neck out
00:38:18.080 for claims he knew to
00:38:19.380 be false.
00:38:19.780 I mean, look, he's the
00:38:20.840 ultimate salesman.
00:38:21.840 I think he talks about
00:38:22.620 it in his books, how he
00:38:23.500 uses hyperbole to sell
00:38:26.320 issues, and that's how
00:38:27.940 he is.
00:38:28.320 He's a salesman and a
00:38:29.320 negotiator and a
00:38:30.080 businessman first and
00:38:30.880 foremost.
00:38:31.260 But do you regret
00:38:32.000 sticking your neck out
00:38:32.840 for some of his more
00:38:33.680 outlandish claims that
00:38:35.000 were going to be false?
00:38:35.960 I'm thinking about, for
00:38:36.900 example, the inauguration
00:38:38.000 crowd size, the three to
00:38:39.720 five million fraudulent
00:38:40.900 votes during the
00:38:41.800 election, having tapes of
00:38:43.160 Comey in the Oval
00:38:43.880 Office.
00:38:44.300 I mean, those are three
00:38:45.020 examples of things that
00:38:46.200 are now known.
00:38:47.720 I appreciate you keeping
00:38:48.500 it to three.
00:38:49.120 Yeah, I mean.
00:38:49.580 OK, so what is she
00:38:51.200 saying here?
00:38:52.000 Is the president a
00:38:53.980 truthful person?
00:38:57.280 No, I think we can all
00:38:58.680 agree on that one.
00:38:59.680 No, no.
00:39:01.500 Hyperbole at best.
00:39:04.120 Hyperbole at best.
00:39:05.980 However, don't you feel,
00:39:07.520 she says, don't you feel
00:39:08.800 used?
00:39:10.240 Well, I don't know.
00:39:10.860 Could I turn that
00:39:11.360 question around on the
00:39:12.640 mainstream media?
00:39:14.240 Did you feel used by
00:39:16.280 President Obama?
00:39:17.800 I mean, because the
00:39:19.300 lies there were not
00:39:20.160 about crowd sizes.
00:39:21.180 That was about Benghazi
00:39:22.580 and a and a video that
00:39:25.560 got a bunch of people,
00:39:26.580 including an ambassador
00:39:27.580 killed and you
00:39:29.680 defended it.
00:39:31.000 You called anybody who
00:39:32.920 believed anything else
00:39:34.240 a conspiracy theorist.
00:39:36.500 So did you feel used?
00:39:38.380 How about did you feel
00:39:39.420 used when the
00:39:42.040 president was saying you
00:39:43.160 can keep your health
00:39:44.080 care, you can keep your
00:39:45.080 doctor if you like it,
00:39:46.100 when it was provably
00:39:49.440 false?
00:39:51.380 Did you feel used at
00:39:53.780 all when he said, no,
00:39:56.000 I don't want single
00:39:57.160 payer health care, but
00:39:58.480 that was the logical
00:40:00.300 conclusion and the
00:40:01.960 president in a video
00:40:03.940 said that before the
00:40:06.380 election, his first
00:40:07.360 election, that what we
00:40:08.900 have to do is we have
00:40:09.740 to get this health care
00:40:11.080 and then we'll get a
00:40:11.860 single payer health care
00:40:13.300 because that will lead
00:40:14.060 to that.
00:40:14.440 The only way it could
00:40:15.440 have led to it is a
00:40:16.740 collapse of the system.
00:40:18.880 Did you feel used?
00:40:22.000 Now, here's Mike
00:40:22.940 Barnacle on MSNBC
00:40:24.340 yesterday.
00:40:25.140 You're at the
00:40:25.620 Constitution and have
00:40:26.600 another president take
00:40:27.540 over right now.
00:40:28.820 Stop.
00:40:30.500 Did you hear what he
00:40:31.040 just said?
00:40:31.780 We need to rewrite the
00:40:33.960 Constitution and get rid
00:40:36.720 of Donald Trump right
00:40:38.240 now.
00:40:38.860 We need to rewrite the
00:40:43.080 Constitution.
00:40:45.240 You cannot say you love
00:40:47.200 the Constitution and this
00:40:49.580 man is unconstitutional
00:40:51.040 and then say, let's rewrite
00:40:53.400 the Constitution right now.
00:40:55.680 First of all, that's not
00:40:56.720 done in a back room.
00:40:57.920 You want to rewrite the
00:40:59.400 Constitution.
00:40:59.980 That's called the amendment
00:41:01.400 process and the amendment
00:41:03.360 process will take he'll be
00:41:05.880 out of office by the time
00:41:07.420 you get that passed.
00:41:09.140 You just you don't rewrite
00:41:11.940 the Constitution to get
00:41:14.120 rid of a president.
00:41:15.640 You impeach him.
00:41:18.220 But you don't have the
00:41:19.560 political courage to do
00:41:21.180 that because you don't have
00:41:22.920 the the evidence to do
00:41:25.000 that.
00:41:26.400 Bill Maher was was talking
00:41:28.800 to Ben Shapiro and he
00:41:31.900 said to Ben Shapiro, you
00:41:34.120 know, how can you guys be
00:41:36.460 for how can you be for
00:41:39.460 Donald Trump when he's for
00:41:41.220 tariffs and you guys
00:41:42.300 weren't for tariffs?
00:41:43.680 I mean, how is it that the
00:41:45.860 everybody's you know,
00:41:47.000 everybody on the right is
00:41:48.040 flip-flopping Bill.
00:41:49.980 Everybody on the left is
00:41:51.320 flip-flopping too.
00:41:52.900 Now, here's here's my point
00:41:54.840 of this monologue.
00:42:02.680 I'm not a big enough man
00:42:04.600 and a strong enough man
00:42:05.860 to not want to rip the
00:42:08.700 eyeballs out of people
00:42:09.940 as they're attacking me
00:42:12.580 or the right for being
00:42:14.300 inconsistent.
00:42:15.380 I'll at least admit our
00:42:17.780 side is being inconsistent.
00:42:20.200 I'll at least admit, yep,
00:42:22.340 we're not deficit.
00:42:24.220 No, we don't care.
00:42:25.880 But don't come to me and
00:42:27.660 say you now care about the
00:42:29.520 deficit.
00:42:30.680 You as a individual may,
00:42:33.900 but you can't tell me that
00:42:34.820 your side did.
00:42:37.680 Because you didn't do
00:42:39.780 anything about it.
00:42:41.080 Well, yeah, but that wasn't
00:42:42.180 our issue.
00:42:42.780 I don't know.
00:42:43.300 It was in 2008.
00:42:44.600 Remember, it's unpatriotic
00:42:45.900 to have a deficit like this.
00:42:48.900 So I just I would like I
00:42:52.160 wanted to talk to Selena
00:42:53.300 Zito because I think she's
00:42:55.220 a really probably one of the
00:42:57.140 best journalists in America
00:42:58.500 and she listens to the
00:43:01.240 center of the country and
00:43:02.880 she's surrounded by the
00:43:04.620 people also, you know, in
00:43:06.960 the media centers and I
00:43:09.700 don't know how to I don't
00:43:10.860 know how to deal with this
00:43:11.900 anymore and I just don't
00:43:13.220 want to deal with it the
00:43:14.240 same way I've been dealing
00:43:15.540 because it's not making any
00:43:16.640 difference.
00:43:17.120 Selena, welcome to the
00:43:19.060 program.
00:43:20.680 Hey there, Glenn.
00:43:21.900 Thanks so much for having
00:43:23.100 me on.
00:43:23.740 You bet.
00:43:24.000 Great monologue.
00:43:25.380 So in your book, The Great
00:43:28.960 Revolt, which everybody
00:43:30.040 should read, especially
00:43:31.020 everybody in the press.
00:43:32.840 By the way, question.
00:43:35.340 Have you have you talked to
00:43:37.100 many of your colleagues in
00:43:38.760 the press that have said,
00:43:39.820 wow, Selena, I read your
00:43:41.080 book.
00:43:41.780 What a great eye opening
00:43:44.380 experience.
00:43:45.220 Yeah, there have been a
00:43:47.880 handful that have read it
00:43:49.680 and have said that there
00:43:51.420 have been a handful of
00:43:52.840 Democrats, including elected
00:43:54.780 Democrats, who have said,
00:43:56.780 oh, my God, this is a
00:43:59.060 blueprint, not only of what
00:44:00.860 happened, but what's
00:44:02.380 happening now and what's
00:44:03.840 going to happen next.
00:44:06.080 So I have had that.
00:44:08.600 But honestly, I don't think
00:44:10.440 enough people have read it.
00:44:11.900 And I'm not saying that
00:44:12.760 because I wrote it with a
00:44:14.960 lot with my buddy, Brad
00:44:16.540 Todd, but because it's so
00:44:19.380 instructive, it's so real
00:44:22.180 time and it gives it.
00:44:24.400 It's a map.
00:44:25.460 It's a blueprint that tells
00:44:27.180 you this is what happened.
00:44:28.800 This is what is happening.
00:44:30.300 This is what's going to
00:44:31.400 happen next.
00:44:32.640 Dear God, why aren't you
00:44:33.780 paying attention?
00:44:34.700 I know.
00:44:35.180 I know.
00:44:35.700 And I tell you, Selena, you
00:44:37.720 and I've been friends for a
00:44:38.640 very long time, and I love
00:44:41.060 your writing.
00:44:41.860 I love it because you
00:44:43.160 always back it up with
00:44:44.280 history and you actually do
00:44:46.540 your homework.
00:44:47.360 You're fair.
00:44:49.220 But this book, you were the
00:44:51.620 first one, I think, to nail
00:44:53.040 Donald Trump.
00:44:54.240 I don't remember what that
00:44:54.940 phrase was exactly that you
00:44:56.240 said right after the election.
00:44:57.920 Do you remember?
00:44:58.640 Seriously, literally.
00:44:59.820 That was right before the
00:45:03.420 election.
00:45:04.160 And during an interview
00:45:05.920 with Trump for the Atlantic,
00:45:09.840 I just lost my job, and I
00:45:12.900 interviewed him the day after
00:45:15.000 I left my job, and that's a
00:45:17.620 phrase that actually Brad came
00:45:19.300 up with.
00:45:19.920 Say it again.
00:45:21.800 Voters take him seriously, but
00:45:24.320 not everything that he says
00:45:25.540 literally, whereas the press and
00:45:28.160 the political class take him
00:45:30.580 literally, sort of like Amelia
00:45:32.660 of Bicdelia, but they don't
00:45:34.800 take him seriously.
00:45:36.840 And because they didn't take
00:45:38.420 him seriously, they missed the
00:45:40.320 election.
00:45:41.040 And they are also currently
00:45:42.600 missing what is going on now.
00:45:45.300 Let me compact this for you for a
00:45:48.220 second.
00:45:48.520 In terms of understanding, you
00:45:50.620 know, how voters react to what
00:45:54.300 has happened in the past few days
00:45:55.700 with Helsinki.
00:45:56.400 So, for generations, I would say
00:45:59.380 all the way back to Mark
00:46:00.620 Hanna, the first sort of campaign
00:46:02.440 manager for William McKinley in
00:46:04.140 1896.
00:46:05.580 For generations, politicians have
00:46:09.000 been, have said lovely things,
00:46:11.120 carefully scripted, and they're
00:46:13.580 beautiful, and they're flowery, and
00:46:15.140 they've been focus grouped to death,
00:46:17.800 but they never back it up with the
00:46:19.580 results.
00:46:20.620 Donald Trump, conversely, doesn't
00:46:23.300 really say what voters want to
00:46:25.440 hear, but he gives them results
00:46:28.020 that they want.
00:46:28.820 This is why everything is sort of
00:46:30.420 flipped on its head.
00:46:32.160 The pretty politicians with the
00:46:33.480 pretty words, you know, win
00:46:35.080 elections, but they never ever
00:46:36.440 actually follow through with the
00:46:38.000 results.
00:46:38.780 Trump, who is loose with his words
00:46:42.760 and loose with his facts, at the
00:46:44.920 end of the day, he actually gives
00:46:46.520 the voters their results.
00:46:48.080 And that's why people in the
00:46:50.180 political class look at this and
00:46:51.920 say, wait, what?
00:46:52.820 It's, he's not talking the way
00:46:54.380 everybody else talks, and voters
00:46:56.080 are like saying, wait, what?
00:46:58.400 He's actually doing what he said
00:47:00.000 he was going to do, but we don't
00:47:01.800 kind of like the way he says it.
00:47:03.740 You are, that is exactly right.
00:47:07.580 I mean, I, before the election,
00:47:10.300 you know, I was obviously not for
00:47:12.880 Donald Trump, and even, you know,
00:47:15.740 in the first six months, not really
00:47:19.080 for Donald Trump, because he had no
00:47:21.780 results, and I didn't believe he
00:47:24.820 would, he would run his
00:47:27.180 administration the way he's running
00:47:29.500 it with the, to get the
00:47:30.840 conservative style results.
00:47:32.700 He is, but I hate the way he does,
00:47:37.340 you know, the way he presents
00:47:38.820 everything.
00:47:39.460 I hate it, but I can't argue with
00:47:42.740 the results.
00:47:44.160 That's exactly right.
00:47:45.340 And that's why voters made a
00:47:46.840 pragmatic choice.
00:47:48.980 Donald Trump was not the cause of
00:47:51.240 this populist coalition.
00:47:52.440 And you know, you have read me since
00:47:54.400 2006.
00:47:55.740 I have been writing that this has
00:47:57.200 been coming since that first wave
00:47:59.280 election, when moderate, pro-life,
00:48:01.600 pro-gun, fiscally conservative
00:48:04.120 Democrats won the midterms.
00:48:06.620 It wasn't because they were
00:48:07.400 Democrats.
00:48:08.280 It's because they weren't Democrats
00:48:11.280 or Republicans.
00:48:13.320 That's when both parties sort of
00:48:15.220 started to fall apart.
00:48:16.540 He blew both of them up in this
00:48:19.900 last election.
00:48:21.580 And the problem, sort of the
00:48:23.940 hypocrisy problem that people keep
00:48:26.980 pointing their fingers at back and
00:48:28.860 forth with each other, is because we
00:48:30.880 are real time in the moment of the
00:48:34.120 political coalitions realigning.
00:48:36.260 And in previous times when this has
00:48:39.320 happened, we didn't have that, you
00:48:41.940 know, instant communication to, to,
00:48:44.980 to sort of, you know, write about it
00:48:48.480 in real time.
00:48:49.400 Well, now we do.
00:48:50.440 We're watching these, there isn't,
00:48:52.700 there are new coalitions.
00:48:54.100 Republicans are different than they
00:48:55.400 were four years ago.
00:48:56.660 Democrats are different than they were
00:48:58.260 four years ago.
00:48:59.100 And people don't know how to say,
00:49:01.760 wait, if I just look backwards a
00:49:03.820 couple minutes, I was for something
00:49:05.280 else before, and now my party isn't?
00:49:08.100 What's going on here?
00:49:09.240 And, and then instead of like being
00:49:11.460 reflective and thinking about it and
00:49:13.340 thinking about why it got to that
00:49:14.500 point, we just point fingers at the
00:49:16.480 other side and say, you're being a
00:49:18.140 hypocrite.
00:49:19.040 And, and that's sort of the biggest
00:49:21.020 problem that the, my profession has
00:49:24.400 in, in that this has caused a sort of
00:49:28.420 hysteria every time that Trump speaks.
00:49:32.560 So, you know, say Monday when, when the
00:49:34.780 whole Helsinki thing happened, I just
00:49:36.720 got done with interviewing Steve
00:49:38.200 Scalise and I was walking back to my
00:49:40.840 car.
00:49:41.220 I turned the car on.
00:49:42.460 I turned the radio on.
00:49:44.060 Sirius radio comes on.
00:49:45.160 I don't even remember what channel
00:49:46.400 news channel was on, but I hear the,
00:49:48.640 the announcer say, this is the worst
00:49:51.040 thing ever.
00:49:51.820 I can't believe Trump did this.
00:49:53.320 And the next person said, this is
00:49:55.340 unprecedented, unprecedented.
00:49:56.960 This has never happened before.
00:49:58.380 And I just turned it off because you
00:50:00.160 know what?
00:50:00.540 I hear that every day and so does
00:50:02.480 everyone else.
00:50:03.160 So we've lost faith in the press for
00:50:06.000 that behavior.
00:50:06.800 Okay.
00:50:07.060 So Selena, I, man, you are just so right
00:50:10.900 on there.
00:50:11.920 Sometimes, you know, people don't, um, uh,
00:50:15.900 sometimes people don't, uh, change.
00:50:18.540 Ronald Reagan said this, the time kind
00:50:20.920 of just catches up with them and it's
00:50:23.020 their time.
00:50:24.220 This is your time.
00:50:25.980 I mean, you, you get it more than
00:50:28.600 anybody else, um, and can explain it.
00:50:32.420 So when, when I was listening this
00:50:34.520 week, it seems to be that every time
00:50:38.620 the press, they just, they've gone
00:50:40.760 crazy.
00:50:41.520 And so every time they see Donald
00:50:44.300 Trump do something that they don't
00:50:45.880 like, um, they immediately pounce and
00:50:49.400 it feels almost like they, they say to
00:50:51.340 themselves, Oh, we got them this time.
00:50:52.700 And then it doesn't turn out that way.
00:50:55.840 And so it winds them a little tighter
00:50:58.200 and, Oh, he got them this time on Monday.
00:51:01.920 They were so convinced that this would
00:51:04.740 bring down his administration that they
00:51:08.400 went, I mean, they launched all of the
00:51:12.660 nuclear missiles.
00:51:14.640 When this doesn't take him out, where do
00:51:19.280 they go from here?
00:51:20.320 Well, what they've done is that why did
00:51:23.320 the trust gap once again, between
00:51:26.280 themselves and the people that consume
00:51:28.380 the news.
00:51:29.360 And, and so what they do is they sort
00:51:32.260 of isolate, uh, themselves and they only
00:51:35.280 pick and they only get the people who
00:51:37.380 want to believe what they say, rather
00:51:39.680 than the people that need to, um, you
00:51:42.520 know, rather than everyone.
00:51:43.960 I mean, the news, honestly, my idea of
00:51:46.760 the news is you got an anchor, they're
00:51:49.920 reading the news and it's read
00:51:51.400 dispassionately.
00:51:52.720 And, and, and that's it.
00:51:55.540 And that's my idea.
00:51:56.840 That's what I crave as, as a reporter.
00:52:00.020 Uh, but, but we don't get that anymore.
00:52:03.020 And, and, and, and, and if, and if some
00:52:05.120 journalists will say, well, you know, I'm
00:52:06.780 just telling the facts, well, there's
00:52:08.820 inference and people aren't stupid.
00:52:11.800 You know, I mean, our IQ isn't that of
00:52:14.540 a that people under see and feel and
00:52:18.060 hear and read inference.
00:52:20.420 It's there.
00:52:21.620 And even if they don't particularly love
00:52:24.700 Donald Trump or don't particularly like
00:52:26.540 him or didn't even vote for him, they
00:52:28.760 tend to gravitate more towards this
00:52:31.360 coalition, not saying him, but more
00:52:34.020 towards this coalition and, and siding
00:52:37.300 with it and exciting it and, and, and,
00:52:41.860 and, and current and are encouraged to
00:52:44.980 show up because there's part of them
00:52:47.380 that sees themselves in Trump.
00:52:49.960 Not that he's rich, not that he's a
00:52:51.460 billionaire, but because all the odds
00:52:53.500 are against him.
00:52:55.240 And, and, and so they, even if they
00:52:58.000 don't like him, they're like, you know
00:52:59.420 what, this guy, this guy right here, he
00:53:02.260 he's really taken it on the chin for all
00:53:04.380 of us.
00:53:04.680 I don't particularly like him, but I like
00:53:06.780 the results and, uh, and I don't like
00:53:09.600 the way the press, the larger
00:53:10.680 institutions treat him.
00:53:12.060 I'm going with this guy.
00:53:13.180 I'm going with this guy's team.
00:53:14.360 You're absolutely right.
00:53:15.520 Hang on just a second.
00:53:16.380 We want to continue our conversation
00:53:17.580 with Selena Zito here.
00:53:18.680 She's coauthor of a book called the
00:53:20.420 great revolt revolt.
00:53:22.020 She has been a reporter that I've
00:53:23.560 watched for years and just, I, she is
00:53:25.880 the best and she gets it.
00:53:27.780 She knows how America is, uh, is
00:53:30.720 feeling right now.
00:53:31.980 We'll continue our conversation in just
00:53:34.240 a second.
00:53:34.640 Um, first, uh, let me, um, let me
00:53:39.800 introduce you to the, the language of
00:53:42.760 FEMA.
00:53:44.040 FEMA said in December next year, meaning
00:53:47.960 this year is going to be totally
00:53:49.300 different.
00:53:49.740 If we are hit with real disasters, uh,
00:53:53.280 hurricanes and tornadoes and everything
00:53:54.880 else, FEMA will not be able to be the
00:53:57.500 first responder.
00:53:58.420 And they said every American needs to
00:54:00.820 prepare.
00:54:01.180 This is only going to get worse, uh, with
00:54:04.620 our deficits going through the roof.
00:54:07.040 Uh, we, we just, we just, we're, we're
00:54:09.680 out, we're out.
00:54:11.480 Uh, and FEMA is broke this year, believe
00:54:14.680 it or not.
00:54:15.700 So that means you have to take care of
00:54:17.840 yourself.
00:54:18.240 Well, that's what Americans have always
00:54:19.780 done best.
00:54:20.700 My Patriot supply understands that you may
00:54:23.620 not know exactly how to prepare.
00:54:25.620 And that's why they're helping you.
00:54:27.560 And this month, uh, or if I'm sorry, this
00:54:30.440 week, it ends, I think maybe over the
00:54:32.740 weekend, it may end tomorrow, this week
00:54:35.700 only, you can get a three month emergency
00:54:39.340 food kit and save $250.
00:54:42.680 Now they have never, ever offered this
00:54:45.240 before.
00:54:45.980 I don't know if they will offer it again.
00:54:48.260 It's this week, only three months of food,
00:54:51.980 breakfast, lunch, dinner, packed in rugged
00:54:54.360 slimline totes.
00:54:55.520 The food lasts up to 25 years in storage.
00:54:58.460 It is a $250 savings this week.
00:55:02.480 So call 800-271-63.
00:55:05.840 That's 800-271-63 or go online to
00:55:10.520 preparewithglenn.com.
00:55:12.780 That's preparewithglenn.com.
00:55:19.440 Selena Zito, who has her finger on the
00:55:22.240 pulse of America and, and also is, uh, you
00:55:27.860 know, finds herself in the belly of the
00:55:29.320 beast.
00:55:29.680 She is Jonah in the whale.
00:55:32.460 Um, and I don't know how you do it.
00:55:34.840 Uh, I did it for a while.
00:55:36.720 I could not take it.
00:55:39.760 Um, and, and Selena, I tell you, there's
00:55:42.200 been a change in me when I was on with
00:55:45.140 Brian Stelter.
00:55:45.960 Um, I was so disgusted that I had been
00:55:49.580 asked to come on to speak about why the
00:55:54.340 right is not listening to the media.
00:55:57.960 And then you're, you're asking for my
00:56:01.100 opinion, but you're arguing with me every
00:56:03.840 step of the way.
00:56:05.180 And I can't even make my point.
00:56:07.140 And then you just go on personal attacks.
00:56:09.600 Uh, and I, uh, I gave up on the media.
00:56:12.260 Uh, I, I really don't want anything to do
00:56:15.460 with them anymore.
00:56:17.260 Um, and I don't, I don't know what that
00:56:19.760 means yet, but I just, I, you don't really
00:56:23.400 actually want to know the truth.
00:56:24.740 So I'm not interested.
00:56:27.120 Um, well, you know, first of all, it's
00:56:29.840 not, I mean, just with your interview with
00:56:31.560 Brian, it's, it's, it's not what I think
00:56:36.160 the premise is ridiculous.
00:56:38.280 Uh, how to get people to listen to the
00:56:40.920 media, like to obey to what they tell
00:56:44.000 them.
00:56:44.340 I mean, that premise in of itself is, is,
00:56:48.620 is ridiculous.
00:56:50.320 You know, people are free thinkers and
00:56:52.280 they're going to, to, you know, they're
00:56:54.980 going to believe and read whatever they
00:56:57.160 want.
00:56:58.120 And that's why we have eliminated the
00:57:00.900 curators in this world, not just in our
00:57:02.940 shopping, but also in the media.
00:57:05.120 So you're, I don't believe you're alone,
00:57:06.840 Glenn.
00:57:07.080 I do believe that that is the trend as
00:57:10.140 opposed to, you know, an outlier.
00:57:13.020 So I, I, I want to talk to you.
00:57:15.000 We're going to take a break here in a
00:57:16.360 second.
00:57:16.640 I want to talk to you about a couple of
00:57:17.920 things you say in your book, you know,
00:57:21.060 your book is a blueprint.
00:57:21.940 So what comes next?
00:57:24.640 How do we move forward?
00:57:26.580 Uh, when no one will admit that they're
00:57:30.540 wrong, um, or played a role in anything.
00:57:34.140 And I also want to go back and talk to
00:57:36.600 you about this week.
00:57:38.360 Is there, uh, in the perception of Donald
00:57:41.380 Trump in the center of the country with
00:57:44.200 the people who support him, um, is there a
00:57:48.380 line there at all that he could cross?
00:57:51.920 Back in a minute.
00:57:53.080 When you walk in to buy a car, you really
00:57:54.860 don't have a choice of what salesperson
00:57:56.840 you use in most instances.
00:57:58.500 Whoever walks up to you kind of has the
00:58:00.780 rights to you and you negotiate with that
00:58:02.880 person. And if you're going down the wrong
00:58:05.520 road, half an hour in most people are just
00:58:08.240 going to stick with it and ride it out and
00:58:09.960 suck it up and deal with it.
00:58:11.700 You don't have to do that with real estate
00:58:13.060 agents. You can go another way.
00:58:14.540 You can go with someone who's already been
00:58:16.000 screened, who already has been qualified by a
00:58:19.320 pretty intense system from realestateagentsitrust.com
00:58:22.800 Go to realestateagentsitrust.com and find one of
00:58:25.300 the 1200 agents all over America that have
00:58:28.180 already been qualified that, you know, share your
00:58:31.160 values. A lot of these people listen to the
00:58:32.900 show. They understand business, how it's
00:58:35.580 supposed to be done and how it's, it was
00:58:37.540 done in the past. And they make sure that you
00:58:40.700 can get the right real estate agent. They make
00:58:43.000 sure you get the right deal for your house and
00:58:45.120 they make sure you're treated with respect. Go to
00:58:47.120 realestateagentsitrust.com if you need to sell
00:58:49.280 your house fast and for the most money. It's
00:58:51.200 realestateagentsitrust.com
00:58:53.020 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:58:58.440 Selena, yesterday we were talking to Selena Zito. She
00:59:02.060 is an amazing writer. She wrote the book, The
00:59:04.900 Great Revolt. Everyone in America should read
00:59:08.440 this, especially the press. It was really good for
00:59:11.920 me to read because it, she went and she, you
00:59:16.680 know, she travels the country, but unlike the
00:59:19.120 press corps, she does it in her car. She stays, you
00:59:22.400 know, in, in non-named hotels. She eats where the
00:59:26.000 locals eat and she learns what people are really
00:59:29.240 feeling. And she found out some amazing things
00:59:33.740 about Trump supporters that completely take the
00:59:37.080 narrative of the media and turn it upside down. It's
00:59:41.300 called The Great Revolt and you should read it. She
00:59:44.020 joins us now. Let me ask you a couple of questions
00:59:46.080 yesterday during the, um, uh, during the cabinet
00:59:51.580 meeting, President Trump, uh, and I read this from a
00:59:55.820 press report and I had not listened or watched the
00:59:59.180 video. And, uh, the report came out that he had
01:00:03.060 answered in a press, uh, in the answer to a presser
01:00:06.240 that, uh, that he was, uh, that, that Russia was not
01:00:11.620 targeting the United States anymore. And I was about to
01:00:15.740 go off on that when, uh, one of the, uh, one of my
01:00:19.820 co-workers said, wait, wait, have you seen the video?
01:00:22.540 And I said, no, do I need to? And she said, yep. Played
01:00:27.320 the video. That's not what happened. Do you agree
01:00:30.060 with that?
01:00:31.380 Yeah. He was answering no about, uh, not answering a
01:00:35.740 question. Yeah.
01:00:36.740 He was, uh, this is what gets my profession in
01:00:40.940 trouble. And it's where everybody swarmed around and
01:00:44.420 where everybody said, this is what happened. This
01:00:46.340 was half a treason, you know, he, he, you know, he
01:00:49.100 can't make up his mind, blah, blah, blah, whatever the
01:00:51.840 hysteria of the moment is. And, and turns out it's not
01:00:56.860 true. Yeah. And it makes everybody look bad. Okay. So,
01:01:02.060 so here we are in a place where we can't trust really
01:01:07.540 anybody. Um, you, you, everybody is working on an
01:01:12.680 agenda and it could be to take the president down or
01:01:16.360 defend the president. Um, and what we're seeing is
01:01:19.980 exactly what you said a few minutes ago, that we are
01:01:22.920 seeing a shift in politics here. We're seeing, we're
01:01:27.620 seeing the old go away and there is new, there is a new
01:01:31.800 form of politics, um, that I see on the horizon. And I
01:01:35.640 wanted to get your opinion on this, that the, the
01:01:38.820 Democrats, the old Democrat that everybody, you know, the
01:01:42.900 blue dog Democrat and the Democrats of my father, even
01:01:45.640 the FDR Democrats, they're dead. They're gone. Yeah. Um,
01:01:49.980 yeah. Yeah. And so they, they're becoming more and more
01:01:53.100 radical. And what I said on Fox is eventually they're just
01:01:56.460 going to take the mask off and they're going to say, yep, I
01:01:58.660 am socialist because this doesn't work. We're now seeing a
01:02:02.400 democratic socialist, uh, kind of party form that is
01:02:07.340 becoming more and more radical. The, you know, in your
01:02:11.020 book, you say, I think it's 21% of the Trump supporters are
01:02:15.320 people who voted for Barack Obama, uh, and are kind of that
01:02:18.820 Reagan Democrat. So you have, you have that, which leaves a
01:02:23.900 couple of places, uh, when you have extreme on one side, you're
01:02:28.680 going to have the extreme of the alt right. Um, and they do
01:02:32.440 not fit in the Trump category. Uh, and, and they don't fit with
01:02:37.380 the others that are left, which are the traditional small
01:02:41.100 government constitutional American. What comes next? How are
01:02:48.060 we net? What do you see on the other side of this? Well, you,
01:02:52.700 you know, as the great revolt explains, we're in the middle of
01:02:57.320 building two new coalitions. The, uh, the, the Republican side has
01:03:00.920 more of those new deal Democrats. I would argue that probably
01:03:04.940 entitlement reform is probably dead for a generation, right? Um,
01:03:10.080 because they're a new part of this Republican coalition, this
01:03:14.940 populist coalition, but on, on the, on the democratic side, because
01:03:19.060 they shed their new deal Democrats, because they shed their
01:03:22.220 moderate, because pro-life, pro-gun, fiscal responsibility, and, and,
01:03:26.940 um, and pro-military have sort of been elbowed out, their party has
01:03:33.520 gone more left, more cosmopolitan, more international, um, more
01:03:38.340 multicultural. Look, you saw Barack Obama actually take that step in
01:03:43.040 2012. In 2008, his election was all about bringing people together,
01:03:46.600 and, and which included the new deal Democrats. In 2012, he changed the
01:03:52.440 calculus that has been in this country since the 1930s. We went from sort of a
01:03:56.680 Goldwater, uh, New Deal argument to a multicultural, you know, um, uh, the,
01:04:03.480 the world first, as opposed to America first. Yes. And, and that is what has
01:04:08.920 happened to the Democratic Party, and you see traces of it, um, sometimes
01:04:14.400 blatantly within, within the press, because not only did they, they tend to be
01:04:19.940 more aligned with the Democratic Party, but also you become what your neighbors are.
01:04:24.900 They live in these super zip codes where people don't, you know, have the same sort
01:04:30.480 of lifestyle, the same sort of values, you know, the same sort of, um, attendance to
01:04:35.420 their, to what they believe community should be about, than the people that live
01:04:39.740 outside of, of those more super zip codes. You know, they don't go to church as much.
01:04:45.060 They don't own a gun. They're probably not pro-life. And, and so it's a
01:04:48.980 completely different sort of, you know, world. America isn't first. They're more
01:04:53.840 of a, uh, they see themselves as a citizen of the world first, and then an
01:04:58.700 American. Where if you go outside of those areas, people see themselves as, like, of
01:05:02.800 course I'm an American first.
01:05:05.880 I saw a poll today that said, uh, it's, uh, there are more Democrats that believe in
01:05:12.840 UFOs than there are Democrats that believe in the traditional America. Oh my
01:05:19.420 gosh. That doesn't shock me. That actually doesn't shock me. So though they're not
01:05:24.340 just citizens of the world, they're then citizens of the universe? Yeah, they're,
01:05:29.660 they're, no, they're citizens. They're, they're, they're citizens that, you know,
01:05:34.200 don't believe in the, the typical constitutional rule of, uh, of law. So, so what does that mean
01:05:44.260 for, um, this move to the Uber left? Um, there was a, I'm going to give a story here in about
01:05:53.320 20 minutes in, uh, South Dakota. There was, uh, a, a guy who, uh, the, the, the, the feds
01:06:02.160 raided, uh, his house. Um, and they found all kinds of bomb making materials. He was, uh,
01:06:08.640 Antifa, uh, extreme anti-government, uh, very, very lefty. This hasn't been reported by anyone,
01:06:18.300 anyone, anywhere. Uh, and it's happened days ago. We're, we're, we're not looking at what
01:06:25.340 the left is actually doing. Will Americans, are we at a, let's explain it this way. Are we at a
01:06:35.540 ultimate moment, uh, with the left? Are they going to overplay their hand or because of the lack of
01:06:44.940 education? Are we, are we going to go for it this time? No, I think they're overplaying their hand.
01:06:52.440 I spend much too much time on the road and in communities across the country. Just drove from
01:06:58.020 Savannah to Pittsburgh, all going all back roads. I think it took me 14 hours. Um, uh, I don't see
01:07:03.940 evidence of, of, it didn't matter what race or what gender or what community I was in. I don't see any
01:07:10.760 evidence of that. You know, uh, the, God is still very much important in the lives of Americans.
01:07:17.940 The American flag is very important into the lives of the American and American people. And,
01:07:22.800 and localism is, and if localism is important, that means America is important because everybody
01:07:29.860 wants their community to be stronger. And if their community is stronger than the country is stronger,
01:07:33.760 this is a, this is a moment of overplaying their hand. This is something that we have seen
01:07:38.880 throughout history. Uh, and the, the reason that it's so extreme at this moment and so on the present
01:07:45.440 is that because we are so connected 20 years ago, we wouldn't be connected to a guy in South Dakota
01:07:52.140 or the South Dakota. Did you say? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And he would have done his thing,
01:07:57.880 peaked and went away. But because we are so connected, we know about it. Now that knowledge
01:08:04.480 isn't bad. We learn from it and use it, but we don't believe it's a title way. That's going to
01:08:10.500 change something. And that's why I look at, you know, you read the great revolt. Well, you see
01:08:16.720 much, so much pragmatism in these voters. It's really an aspiration. So it's really kind of uplifting.
01:08:25.840 So talking to Selena Zito, the coauthor of the great revolt. Um, so with that being said, let me go the
01:08:32.160 opposite direction, uh, where the press is just saying this guy is a traitor. This is treason. First
01:08:39.060 fault's the only crime in the constitution that is, that is defined. It is not treason. And let's be
01:08:47.140 a little careful with that. Um, but they're, they're playing this so huge and it, uh, you could make
01:08:57.880 the case while they're making the case, you know, where are all the people, all the Americans that
01:09:02.500 were against, uh, Russia, you know, all the conservatives, they knew who Vladimir Putin
01:09:07.360 was. Is there a line that Trump could cross? For instance, I just had Bill Browder on and
01:09:15.180 yesterday, uh, you know, Trump was still considering the, well, maybe we'll ship some people over to
01:09:22.140 be questioned by Vladimir Putin. Uh, and Bill Browder is one of the ones that Putin wanted is,
01:09:29.180 is, is there a line that he could cross?
01:09:34.460 I, uh, you mean to lose his voters or to make it to, to make people say, yeah, yeah. Yeah.
01:09:41.640 You know what he would do? Join the swamp, become part of the swamp. That is literally it. As long
01:09:48.380 as he doesn't do that, he's going to be fine with it. And what does that mean? Well, then he
01:09:53.940 becomes Mitch McConnell, um, or, you know, you know, it becomes, you know, part of the system,
01:10:01.900 the establishment, and he has proven every day that is not who he is. So, uh, it is good points
01:10:09.380 and it is a bad point. So I said a couple of weeks ago, Selena, that I think what's, what I'm seeing
01:10:15.400 here with, with Donald Trump is, is very much like what happened with the black community with OJ Simpson.
01:10:23.940 Um, I couldn't understand how people were cheering for his release. And at the time everybody was
01:10:30.700 saying, no, he's innocent. He's innocent. Now you look at the polls from African Americans and they're
01:10:34.640 all like, no guilty as sin. Um, but what it was, was they were tired of the system always beating
01:10:41.920 them down. And so it didn't really, it wasn't about him. It was about anyone that could beat the system
01:10:49.240 that was black. Is, is that how you think Americans in some cases, look at Donald Trump, that they are
01:10:58.260 tired of the press. They're tired of the system of government always, they're always losing.
01:11:06.140 And here's a guy that's winning. Yeah, absolutely. He's not polished. He's not, he's not, he's not
01:11:13.880 the David messenger, but he certainly, um, uh, is someone who bucks the system. They see that with
01:11:19.980 him every day, every single day. He doesn't just blow up Democrats in the press. He also blows up
01:11:27.500 establishment Republicans. And, and they like that because they believe that those systems in place
01:11:35.480 have left them behind or ignored them or have, you know, taken them for granted. And we always know
01:11:44.620 we'll get the Christian vote if you're a Republican. We always know you're going to get the, um, um, uh,
01:11:51.040 the, the, um, minority vote because you're a Democrat. Right. And everyone's like, no, wow, wow. Wait,
01:11:57.000 you know what? Right. Absolutely done. A part of, part of what to this, uh, was culture, you know,
01:12:06.140 and, and how people view people who run culture, which is in government and in the, um, media and in
01:12:14.020 the entertainment business and the sports business and how they view people in the middle of America. Um,
01:12:19.960 but it's also in how government viewed them and how the press viewed them. And so it's a burden
01:12:25.720 against all institutions. Look, modern populism, very different from 1830s, very different from
01:12:34.100 1890s populism. Modern populism is a healthy skepticism of all things big. Okay. Um, Selena, I, I need,
01:12:42.900 I'm sorry, I have to have a break. If you could just give me a very short answer for this.
01:12:48.420 Are you optimistic for the American, the traditional American culture long-term?
01:12:57.120 Absolutely. Absolutely. I'm saying that as someone who is literally on the road right now,
01:13:03.360 um, on a back road in Ohio. And I, you know, I see evidence, evidence of it everywhere. Here's the
01:13:12.640 thing. They, they don't show up and protest. They don't show up with signs. They're working.
01:13:20.000 Right.
01:13:20.240 You're taking care of your family. Right.
01:13:22.420 You know, they're getting on with the business of life. They're not obsessed with their smartphones.
01:13:26.700 They're obsessed with their community, their family, their lives.
01:13:30.120 Selena Zito, thank you so much. Great talking to you. The, uh, name of the book is The Great Revolt.
01:13:36.280 It's a must read. If you really want to understand what nobody in the mainstream media is telling you
01:13:42.460 about Trump voters and what's really happening. Selena Zito. All right. I want to tell you a little
01:13:49.080 bit about Goldline. Uh, Goldline has, uh, just minted a brand new, uh, thing with a Royal Canadian
01:13:56.120 mint. It's actually called a maple flex bar. And it is, uh, comprised of 19 individual little teeny
01:14:03.920 bars of silver. They make up two ounces of silver and it's, it's flat like a credit card and about
01:14:11.220 the size of a credit card. And it makes it possible for you to break them off into smaller
01:14:16.720 bullion coins and keep the bar, the bar hole for a larger investment. But it is great for,
01:14:24.120 you know, things really start to melt down. What are you going to carry around? Even, even two
01:14:29.720 ounces of gold, if things really melt down and you need to barter, what is that? $20,000 here's,
01:14:37.960 here's, you know, two ounces of, of, of silver, which I think is what? 18 bucks. If things melt
01:14:44.680 down, it's all in the right size. So you can be able to break it off and buy groceries, buy gas,
01:14:51.640 do whatever you need to do. And it's all from the Royal Canadian mint. It's pure silver. It's called
01:14:58.380 the maple flex bar. I want you to check this out and see if it's right for you. Call Goldline now
01:15:04.440 1-866-GOLDLINE. 1-866-GOLDLINE. Read their important risk information. Make sure it's right
01:15:11.160 for you at 1-866-GOLDLINE or goldline.com. Glenn Beck. So yesterday I had Tika Tuari on
01:15:21.280 and he made an incredible claim that Bitcoin will go to 40,000 by the end of the year.
01:15:32.700 I talked to him off the air yesterday. I said, you know, that's kind of risky to say that.
01:15:38.340 He said, no, I'll, I'll make a good case. He joins us next.
01:15:43.340 Glenn Beck. It's Thursday, July 19th. This is the Glenn Beck program.
01:15:48.780 This has been a pretty remarkable week. I think we have, um, I think we've seen it all
01:15:54.100 this week. And then Tika Tuari joined us yesterday and said something, uh, on the broadcast that was
01:16:02.420 even more remarkable. Uh, and that is Bitcoin is going to go to 40,000 by the end of this year.
01:16:10.740 And then we ran out of time. And so I said, you know, I think we should have you on tomorrow
01:16:15.380 to explain that Tika is in town because he's doing a, uh, a webinar with me tonight
01:16:20.700 on cryptocurrency and it's free to join. All you have to do is go to Beck crypto show.com
01:16:27.400 Beck crypto show.com. And you'll be able to watch it starts at 8 PM Eastern time. Uh, and we're going
01:16:34.160 to talk about some of the evidence of what he's going to speak about here, uh, on, on,
01:16:40.820 on Bitcoin and some of the, the others, you're going to give three cryptocurrencies. Yes. That
01:16:47.360 you're saying is they're going to explode. I believe they are going to explode in value. Correct. Okay.
01:16:52.640 Now you have credibility with me because I've been watching you for a while. Uh, I get your
01:16:57.340 newsletter, uh, and, uh, you also came to me with this webinar about, I don't know, three months ago.
01:17:05.520 Correct. And you said to me around the end of July, uh, you're going to see Bitcoin starting to make
01:17:13.300 moves again. And, uh, and we, we, and we need to do a broadcast on it. And I was like, really in July
01:17:23.800 it's going to, because I, if you remember, right, I was freaking out. You were freaking out. I was
01:17:28.000 freaking out. And you're like, don't worry. All of my analysis shows that it's going to, uh, in the
01:17:33.480 middle of the summer, mid July to end July. And I showed you that chart. Remember? Yeah. What,
01:17:37.700 what, what made you go there and what makes you say it's going to go to 40,000? Okay. So there's
01:17:44.780 two different parts to that. So I was around during the early nineties when the internet boom
01:17:49.260 exploded. And so what I noticed early on was that the way the cryptocurrency market was growing
01:17:54.840 was mirroring the way that the early tech boom was happening in the late eighties and early nineties.
01:18:00.860 And so I put the charts side by side and they're up to 87% correlated. Wow. Um, the, the difference
01:18:09.220 is, is that the moves in crypto happen a lot faster because crypto is global and we're, we're much more
01:18:14.460 connected than we were in the nineties, right? Information moves a lot faster. So when I saw you
01:18:19.880 the last time I had analyzed the move from the nineties and it, and it looked as if July was going
01:18:26.180 to be when Bitcoin were bottom and it would start to move higher. And that's exactly what's happening
01:18:31.800 right now. And why I wanted to do this event, uh, in July, you know, you don't want to do it as the
01:18:36.980 trains going into the station, right? You want it as, as it's just leaving the station. And that's
01:18:42.060 what's happening now. And it, I mean, yesterday, the last couple of days, what is it? What is it
01:18:46.860 up? 15%, 10%? Yeah. It's had a nice move. All right. It's just the beginning.
01:18:51.140 And so now you said, you know, and I'd like to talk you out of this because he, you know, it's,
01:18:59.120 it's one thing to say, it's going to have a great year end finish. Could be 10,000. You're saying
01:19:06.260 it's going to be at 40,000. It will be at least $40,000 before the end of the year. Yes.
01:19:13.360 Wow. You know, a lot of confidence. I know, you know, I'm, I have you on tape that destroys your
01:19:19.520 credibility. Only if it's not 40,000. Right. It was 39.99. If it's 20,000, I give you a lot of
01:19:29.440 credit, but that is a gigantic move. It is a gigantic move. It's not as big as a, as a move
01:19:36.340 as we saw last year when we were down 40% in July and we went from 1850 to 20,000. I was called
01:19:43.300 insane for calling for 10 K Bitcoin when we were below two. If I had said 20 K Bitcoin,
01:19:50.660 somebody would have Baker acted me and they would put me in a 72 hour psych watch, right? There's no
01:19:55.620 way people would have thought that. So what people don't understand and to get to your question,
01:20:00.540 you know, why do I think it can move that quickly? Is it a Bitcoin? There are only 16 million Bitcoins
01:20:06.920 and about 5 million of those Bitcoins have been lost forever. So there are 11 million total.
01:20:11.640 What do you mean lost forever? How have they been lost?
01:20:13.160 They've been lost because people have lost the private key. And so if you lose your private key,
01:20:18.320 you can never get access to those Bitcoins again. They just sit there on the blockchain. So it's like
01:20:23.580 having a, uh, a chest full of gold coins at the bottom of the Marianas trench, right? You can't,
01:20:30.560 you can't get to it. So, wow. Right. So think about this. There are only 11 million left and there
01:20:38.160 are 35 million millionaires in the world. There is not enough Bitcoin for just not, I'm not even
01:20:46.220 talking about the 7 billion people in the world, but the 35 million millionaires, there's not enough
01:20:50.120 Bitcoin for them to each have one. And so what's going to happen is later this year, and I'll talk
01:20:54.840 about this more tonight, there are going to be a series of events that is going to bring a mass
01:21:00.440 adoption of Bitcoin into the marketplace. That's going to make it much easier for millions and
01:21:07.100 millions of people, uh, to buy Bitcoin. And that it's the, it's the scarcity with this enormous
01:21:14.100 onrush of new buyers, those two forces coming together that will take Bitcoin to 40,000.
01:21:19.340 What do you say to the people? I just had somebody in my office last week and they said, uh, Glenn,
01:21:25.920 people don't know the major institutions. They are, you know, telling credit cards and other
01:21:33.240 companies, you take Bitcoin and we don't do business with you. They're, they're doing everything
01:21:39.420 they can to shut Bitcoin down. That that's absolutely not true from my perspective. And I travel
01:21:45.680 all over the world and I speak to banks. I speak to development companies. I speak to people in
01:21:50.860 credit card companies and payment processors. Two days ago, MasterCard just got a patent that would
01:21:56.480 allow them to use Bitcoin on their credit cards and not have to deal with the 10 minute wait time.
01:22:02.120 They figured out a way to get around that. Why would MasterCard do that? Do you know who the biggest
01:22:06.700 holder of blockchain patents is in the world? Bar none. Bank of America. Do you know who has filed for
01:22:13.980 more patents, uh, uh, uh, uh, but hasn't got as many as bank of America? JP Morgan, right? Goldman Sachs
01:22:21.960 now has their own trading desk. So, uh, the old narrative a year ago was yes, Bitcoin's just for
01:22:28.840 criminals, Bitcoin's just for people on the dark web. But what I'm seeing now is a rate of institutional
01:22:37.120 adoption that is just massive. So you taught me something yesterday because we found out a listener
01:22:45.460 called, um, two days ago and said, why should we believe what the CIA or NSA is saying about these
01:22:55.080 Russians? We do, we just get this from the, you know, the Democrats and you know, their Intel. And, uh,
01:23:01.020 I said, you know, I don't know. I don't know how they indicted those guys. I don't know what the
01:23:05.180 evidence was. I said, so let me look it up. So we looked it up and what we found is the NSA,
01:23:11.040 um, found these, was it 13 guys, 13 guys, 19 guys, something like 12. Yeah. Um, and, uh,
01:23:18.920 they found these guys that were from GRU, which is the old KGB in the military. Um, and, uh, and trace
01:23:27.740 them to their, I don't know what they were using, but their PayPal wallet or their, you know, their
01:23:32.340 Bitcoin wallet. And then they tracked their purchases to purchase a, uh, VPN, which allows
01:23:41.020 you to go on the dark web. And then they use the Bitcoin on the dark web to access a server,
01:23:47.220 which set up Guccifer and everything else. And I had for the life of me always heard that
01:23:54.180 these are untrackable, that you're, you're not able to, that nobody could, nobody could follow you.
01:24:00.940 And that was one of the things, cause that's why drug dealers use Bitcoin.
01:24:05.000 It's a narrative that law enforcement, uh, uh, uh, continues putting out because they love it
01:24:11.600 when people are dumb enough to use Bitcoin to commit crimes, because they only have to tie you
01:24:16.800 to one transaction and they can unwind everything through the public blockchain. So I've mentioned
01:24:23.060 this before, but I speak to different prosecutors and they say to me kind of, uh, you know, kind of on
01:24:28.040 the side, they say, Tika, we love it. When people use Bitcoin, it's like leaving a whole string of
01:24:32.940 breadcrumbs over what you've done. You look, if you're going to break the law, you're better off
01:24:37.680 using cash than you are using Bitcoin. So this whole idea that Bitcoin is only for drug dealers,
01:24:43.040 it's for dumb drug dealers. You know, the whole idea, it's just for doing things, illegal things.
01:24:48.820 It's for doing dumb, illegal things.
01:24:50.980 So wait a minute. Cause then this kind of goes to the key that you said these five,
01:24:55.820 5 million Bitcoins are lost forever. Correct. Because all they, because it was my understanding
01:25:00.600 that the NSA would have had to gone in and cracked the Bitcoin to find out where it was going.
01:25:07.320 No, that's not true. As long as they know, if I walked into a seven 11 and I bought a pack of
01:25:12.780 M and M's with a Bitcoin and right. And they saw that, the camera and they saw Glenn bought it
01:25:17.720 when they saw the address. Yeah. They saw the number. They could then take that address
01:25:22.260 and do a forensic study of the blockchain and look at every single transaction that address has been
01:25:28.680 a part of. So it's just like a, it almost is like a credit card. If they have, if they can tie you to
01:25:33.520 one address, they can unwind all your transactions. Yes. Now there are other coins that do deliver
01:25:40.720 complete privacy. Why the Russians didn't use them. I don't know. Um, but Bitcoin is it's highest and
01:25:47.120 best use is not privacy. So Bitcoin is the narrative is Bitcoin. In fact, didn't you say
01:25:54.860 this yesterday, Pat? Bitcoin's not good to use as cash, right? Can you explain that, that because
01:26:02.900 people look at Bitcoin as, um, uh, you know, is gold. I want to have Bitcoin. I'm going to put it
01:26:10.100 away, but I can't really spend it. And it's a hassle to use. And so a lot of these other
01:26:14.900 cryptocurrencies have been saying, no, no, we're a lot easier to use. Bitcoin is changing
01:26:20.700 though, right? Is this Bitcoin? Bitcoin is changing. There are a couple of, uh, technological
01:26:25.640 changes that are going to be happening later this year, which I'm going to go into much
01:26:28.840 more detail. Is this part of the 40,000? It's absolutely part of the 40,000. And one key
01:26:35.280 rule that, uh, everybody listening should know is that it's usage that drives the ultimate
01:26:40.520 value of a coin. And so when you're analyzing a coin, even though it might not be, you'll
01:26:46.320 be utilized much now, what you've got to look at is, okay, what are the things that are going
01:26:50.180 to be happening in the path, the technological path of development that will increase usage
01:26:56.640 dramatically? And so there are two things happening in the Bitcoin network right now that will explode
01:27:02.800 usage, uh, later this year. And, and again, I don't want to do a deep dive on it here, but
01:27:06.940 tonight I absolutely will. But I'll, I will say this, um, that for me right now, the primary
01:27:14.840 use case of Bitcoin is an alternative to gold. And even if that was all it ever was, uh, Bitcoin
01:27:22.000 is still fundamentally incredibly cheap. Um, but as I mentioned, there are two things happening
01:27:27.400 later this year that will drive the usage of Bitcoin much, much higher and make it more
01:27:32.200 like a, more of a traditional currency that we're used to.
01:27:35.140 And when that happens, does it stabilize the price to where this, the floor is not as low
01:27:40.700 as it is right now?
01:27:41.980 No, Bitcoin will continue to be, it will continue the wild fluctuation.
01:27:46.460 It will continue to be, have wild fluctuations. The best analogy I control is Microsoft. For
01:27:51.960 the first 20 years, Microsoft was around. It was a wildly volatile stock for the first 10
01:27:57.760 years. And then the second 10, not so much, but now it's worth almost a trillion dollars and
01:28:03.040 it's not as volatile, but it had to be that volatile in order to get to its ultimate value.
01:28:09.080 So Bitcoin is going to follow a similar trajectory. Ultimately, Bitcoin will be worth
01:28:13.600 hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars, but between now and then we'll have the
01:28:18.880 volatility. And thank goodness we have it because it gives us the opportunity to make an enormous
01:28:22.560 amount of money.
01:28:23.260 We talked to a guy, was it last year who told us that while he believes everybody should
01:28:30.120 have at least some Bitcoin, one or part of one, it could be within five years, it could
01:28:37.800 be zero or it could be worth a million dollars a coin. Do you subscribe to that theory?
01:28:43.840 I don't think Bitcoin will go to zero. I think if Bitcoin was going to go to zero, it would
01:28:48.240 have happened when we had the Mt. Gox hack way back when. So I don't think we're going
01:28:53.760 to zero. Could we go to a million dollars a coin? Could that happen in our lifetime?
01:28:59.400 In order for that to happen, fiat currencies around the world would have to completely collapse
01:29:05.720 in order for that to take place.
01:29:07.480 So you don't necessarily want to root for that.
01:29:09.400 I don't want to root for that. That would be just so disruptive for everyone. I'm not looking
01:29:15.440 for that. What I'm saying is that Bitcoin is a brand new asset class. It's an important
01:29:20.680 asset class. It's wildly undervalued. And we have a multi-year long-term trend in front
01:29:26.500 of us of upward prices.
01:29:28.040 So I look at the blockchain for sure. Cryptocurrency, pretty sure. And Bitcoin, fairly sure.
01:29:40.280 Like the internet. The other cryptocurrencies, I kind of look at as, oh, I don't know. Some
01:29:51.600 of them will be pets.com.
01:29:53.260 Correct.
01:29:53.740 You know what I mean? So you can bet on these other ones, but the Bitcoin, blockchain, that's
01:30:01.100 and cryptocurrency, that's the internet.
01:30:04.300 Right.
01:30:04.720 Would you agree with that?
01:30:05.700 Yeah, I would say for now that's true. I would say the blockchain, the blockchain technology
01:30:12.040 is akin to TCP IP, which allowed the internet to blossom. What I think will happen is that
01:30:20.420 I think the Bitcoin blockchain will continue to be one of the most important blockchains
01:30:24.700 out there, but other blockchains will also be very important. Where I think that next level
01:30:30.640 of value will be unlocked, Glenn, is when these blockchains can start talking to one another.
01:30:37.400 So the protocols for the internet were around since the 70s, but it wasn't until Cisco came
01:30:42.960 around that made routers that actually allowed these different disparate internet-enabled systems
01:30:49.360 to talk to one another and transmit data to one another that you saw that explosion of value.
01:30:54.980 Yeah, because before that, it was like one university could use their system, and then it was only
01:31:02.480 the university systems, but then eventually you could go into their system.
01:31:08.260 Eventually, and that was Cisco was the key technology behind that. And so there is another
01:31:12.000 project that is linking all of those.
01:31:16.720 How far away are we from that?
01:31:18.800 Under a year. Under a year, we'll have the ability to connect blockchains together.
01:31:24.580 So it's another network effect, an order of magnitude, right? It's a whole nother level
01:31:30.360 of growth that we're going to see once these can communicate together.
01:31:34.360 Tika, thank you so much. Tika Tiwari, he is a former hedge fund guy that has made a lot
01:31:40.940 of people a lot of money on cryptocurrency, and we're doing a webinar tonight. If you'd like
01:31:48.720 to sign up, it's absolutely free. There's going to be lots of information that you can take.
01:31:53.980 I urge you to do all of your own homework. Please do not invest in any of this stuff
01:32:00.540 that you can't afford to lose. It's extraordinarily volatile. But if you are somebody who considers
01:32:07.400 yourself on the cutting edge, this is something that you really don't want to miss tonight,
01:32:12.260 8 o'clock. You will only find it online at beckcryptoshow.com. That's beckcryptoshow.com.
01:32:22.200 You can watch it tonight. It's absolutely free. 8 o'clock. We'll be taking your questions. And I think
01:32:27.200 you and I are going to do Facebook taking questions.
01:32:29.560 We will.
01:32:30.200 So right after this program as well, if you have any crypto questions,
01:32:34.240 Tika and I are going to take them right after this broadcast. You can go and find that at Facebook
01:32:40.540 and my Facebook page, Glenn Beck. Tika, thank you so much.
01:32:44.900 Thank you.
01:32:45.400 See you tonight.
01:32:46.860 All right. Ironically, as people improve the cybersecurity on their computers, thieves are
01:32:52.560 turning back to stealing from mailboxes. And they are using old tech. Now, they're actually using
01:32:57.660 rat traps and making the rat trap really, really sticky. Then they put a string on it,
01:33:02.480 and then they actually put it down. I mean, does this seem like 1800? I don't even know who writes
01:33:06.920 letters anymore, but they stick it down into the public mailbox. The rat trap that springs and it
01:33:14.640 catches a bunch of letters. They pull it out. And that's how they're actually getting, you know,
01:33:19.580 gift cards and and personal information like social security numbers. Who knew mailboxes still existed?
01:33:25.820 There are so many threats in today's connected world. It takes just one week link and criminals
01:33:32.440 are in. That's why the new LifeLock Identity Theft Protection adds the power of Norton's
01:33:37.440 security to help protect you against the threats to your identity and to your devices that you can't
01:33:43.460 easily see on your own. And if you have a problem, their agents are going to work to fix it.
01:33:48.620 That's the key. Now, nobody can stop all cyber threats or prevent all identity theft or monitor
01:33:53.260 all transactions at all businesses. But with LifeLock, with now Norton's security, they're able to,
01:33:58.880 you know, uncover all of the threats that you're going to miss on your own.

01:34:19.300 So there's a story that, you know, just been kind of, excuse the pun, bubbling up under the
01:34:29.180 surface here for a while now. They keep talking about this, you know, big volcano in Yellowstone
01:34:36.700 Park. Well, apparently a little fissure opened up by the Grand Tetons, which is part of the
01:34:45.860 Yellowstone Park area. And it was just, it was just a fissure of about barely a crack. Yeah.
01:34:52.720 A hundred feet. And they're now worried about rock slides and everything. They closed the park
01:34:58.960 or part of the park because of this fissure. And they're afraid that it is a sign that, uh-oh,
01:35:07.200 Big Mama is waking up. Um. That wouldn't be good. No. 6,000 times the force of Mount St. Helens.
01:35:17.500 If you've ever seen the radius of, say, the ash fallout and lava. It's two-thirds of the United
01:35:25.180 States of America. Two-thirds would be uninhabitable. I'm hoping this Yellowstone thing isn't. Yeah.
01:35:34.380 Let it get its own picnic basket.
01:35:38.700 We've had a long buildup for this one, but it's here tonight. Glenn Beck, Tika Tiwari,

01:36:40.340 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:36:42.600 I'm going to give you a story here that, um, I find a little interesting. Uh, authorities,
01:36:49.580 uh, have found bombs and guns while serving a search warrant for burglaries. While serving a search
01:36:58.880 warrant, detectives found that they, um, they say were bomb making materials. The police bomb squad
01:37:05.240 were called to the residents and authorities evacuated the surrounding area. Authorities say
01:37:09.640 they found multiple explosive devices as well as aluminum nitrate and aluminum powder, which they
01:37:16.880 say have no other uses other than for explosive devices. Authorities also seized multiple firearms
01:37:23.040 and a homemade firearm silencer from the residents. Einer world, who is the name of the guy they
01:37:30.120 arrested was arrested on multiple burglary charges and for the sale or transportation of a destructive
01:37:37.560 device. More charges may be coming. Authorities say they found multiple bombs and bomb related items,
01:37:45.560 as well as multiple items related to Antifa, the anti-fascist militant group, as well as other items
01:37:54.880 indicating an extreme hatred for law enforcement and the government. Now this, this happened, uh, a few days
01:38:04.480 ago, um, in, uh, in South Dakota. And I was a little shocked that I haven't heard about it because it was
01:38:14.680 like, you know, it's almost like, um, uh, the, uh, occupy wall street thing that of course never happened
01:38:23.720 where they were actually caught occupy wall street people with bombs going to the bridge. And where
01:38:32.640 was it? Cleveland? Yeah. Okay. You never heard that story. Most people don't even know that existed.
01:38:38.620 They arrested people who were trying to blow up a bridge while they were media was on the hunt for the wicked
01:38:47.660 tea party that happened and nobody reported on it. So I did a Google search and I, uh, I, I ran, uh, Mark
01:38:55.920 Einer wold and Antifa, uh, no coverage from MSNBC, from CNN, from NBC, from CBS, from ABC, from PBS, from the New York
01:39:06.280 Times. Not even Fox News has covered this. Uh, in fact, no news outlet in the world has covered this except
01:39:15.780 KDLT.com, the Washington Examiner, the Sioux Falls Argus leader, and us. I find that kind of interesting.
01:39:27.420 Here's a, here's a guy connected to an Antifa movement. And remember, Antifa is their, their cells.
01:39:34.300 So this guy might've been just a lone wolf, but he was a fan of Antifa and not a fan of the
01:39:41.900 government or police, you know, making some bombs, but, ah, who's to, who's to judge? It's a couple of
01:39:50.120 bombs among friends. Exactly right. Exactly right. Uh, let's go to the, uh, let's go to the straw
01:39:57.320 controversy. Um, well, there's no controversy. Um, you know, there's a movement now to ban straws
01:40:03.720 because they're so bad. Straws are, they're actually choking the planet to death. Now,
01:40:11.700 I didn't know that. Yeah, I didn't know that. Yeah, they are. They're systematically strangling
01:40:16.440 planet earth to death. Um, you know, I remember you're old enough to remember these. Do you remember
01:40:22.320 the paper straws that we used to have with milk? I do. Yeah. Okay. In school, they'd give us paper
01:40:26.460 straws. And, uh, the argument against them was something about the trees, blah, blah, blah. My
01:40:33.000 argument was they were worthless. They were worthless. They were good for about four sips
01:40:39.060 and then they're made out of paper. Uh, so I was kind of happy to see the whole plastic straw thing,
01:40:45.960 but, uh, I think a lot of people were, uh, but then we found out the extensive research about how
01:40:51.320 many straws are dispensed every day. Yeah, no, we learned from Stu about every day, two years ago.
01:40:58.800 And, uh, the press still hasn't really picked up on it. No, they haven't. Um, although there's fine,
01:41:04.840 there was finally a story that I found last night about the 500 million drinking straws we use every
01:41:10.740 day. 500 million. Wow. Wow. How did they come up with that number? They must've done extensive
01:41:16.480 research. Well, by them, I mean, he must've done extensive research. Who is, who is he? A nine
01:41:24.900 year old boy named Milo Kress. Now Milo, he's a straw expert and a straw expert and a genius. He was,
01:41:33.020 he in college, he's doing this for a dissertation at nine. No, he was, uh, he was actually in third or
01:41:40.020 fourth grade. Ah, and he, uh, saw that a lot of kids took straws back to their table, uh, during
01:41:48.800 lunch break in the cafeteria at school. He's like, a lot of those kids aren't even using them.
01:41:53.360 What a waste. And so he called around a little bit to find out how many straws were dispensed every
01:41:58.980 day. And he got too many different answers. So he decided to go with 500 million because it was right
01:42:07.220 around the area where it was in the middle of some of the numbers that he'd heard thrown around.
01:42:12.100 Really? Yeah. So this fourth grader did this. Yes. Uh-huh. And he came up with the, with the, uh,
01:42:18.980 number of 500 million per day, just started campaigning about it. Let's, Hey, let's stop the
01:42:24.840 waste. And everybody, including the New York times, uh, national geographic USA today, the national park
01:42:35.040 service, all of them picked up this number as if it were absolute hardcore fact done by, you know,
01:42:42.860 scientists. And, uh, that's where the 500 million drinking straws daily comes from this nine-year-old
01:42:50.560 kid who was upset, uh, at school because some kids weren't using their straw. So now they've been banned
01:42:56.980 at Starbucks. They've been banned at McDonald's. Uh, they're banned in several, uh, metropolitan
01:43:04.660 jurisdictions. And it all began in 2011 with this, uh, he was nine years old at the time. He's 16 now.
01:43:12.120 Well, I know that, I know that Starbucks, um, you know, they, they, they bought into this and
01:43:17.620 they've gotten rid of the straws there at Starbucks. And last week it was announced that the lid that
01:43:23.880 they replaced the straws with, cause they needed a new kind of lid. Um, that's about twice as bad
01:43:30.500 as the straws. Yeah. It was, it was a lot more plastic. Yeah. And if they, if they went back
01:43:37.220 and said, you know what, those lids were really bad and they started using straws, no one would
01:43:42.780 care. Everyone who is on the straw bandwagon would condemn them for having straws. No question.
01:43:50.500 They'd be like, no, no, but the replacement was twice as bad for the environment. Nobody would care.
01:43:54.680 No, absolutely not. And how much do I care? Not at all. If you get between me and my straw,
01:44:01.240 however, I do care. I do care. But the whole 500 million straws. Nope. You know why? Because I grew
01:44:10.040 up in a time when we used to have paper straws and we liked it. No, we didn't actually. No,
01:44:17.340 we didn't. We, we would watch, we would walk 20 miles backward in the snow, both ways to school.
01:44:23.560 And we didn't like that. But you know, the thing we liked less paper straws. Let me give you a story
01:44:32.660 out of the Netherlands. Pat, it's a story about a mistress. Okay. Now I, I just want you to imagine
01:44:41.940 your wife, my wife finds out that we're cheating on them. Okay. What do our wives do?
01:44:51.180 Uh, I think at least attempted murder on each of us. Right. Right. Well, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.
01:45:00.720 So they'd come after him. What would they do with the, the mistress? I, my wife would be, I think,
01:45:08.100 more pissed at me. I think her anger would be directed toward me. Yeah. I mean, she would,
01:45:12.460 I don't think she'd do anything to the mistress. No, I don't think so either. I think my wife would
01:45:15.820 just pity her. My wife would be like, wow, your life was that really bad taste. You went for him.
01:45:21.380 I mean, look at me, look at me. He may seem funny and entertaining or interesting, mildly interesting
01:45:28.060 from time to time. Live with him. Yeah. And then see, marry him. It's over. I think your wife might
01:45:34.120 do the same. Oh, absolutely. Yeah. Cause our wives think too much alike. Anyway. Um, remember the day
01:45:39.280 when they thought we were funny. It's been a while, that's been a long time. It's been a while
01:45:43.240 or interesting. Yeah. Yeah. That's been even longer. Yeah. Okay. So anyway, uh, so this woman
01:45:48.360 found out that, uh, her, uh, her husband had been cheating on her for five years with one of her
01:45:56.500 friends. So she calls up the friend in air quotes and says, uh, Hey, I'm just, you know what? I'm
01:46:06.980 watching a movie or doing something that you really want to do. Why don't you come on over
01:46:12.040 to the house? And, uh, because they're in the Netherlands, you know, the mist, the mistress
01:46:18.220 said, uh, yeah, sure. And so she came over and, uh, the, uh, the wife overwhelmed her, uh, and
01:46:27.280 tied her down. Uh, and then she took out a, uh, hot Indonesian, uh, chili pepper sauce.
01:46:36.980 Now, when you're, you know, you're talking about hot sauce. Okay. You know, pace, get a rope. I got
01:46:42.840 it. You go to Indonesia to get your hot sauce. I think we're talking a different level. She, um,
01:46:50.520 uh, she says, you've been, uh, you've been, uh, messing around with my husband and, uh, oh no,
01:46:57.240 no. Yeah, sure. And, uh, so then she, the, the, the, the wife shaves the woman's head
01:47:03.140 and then gets the hot sauce. And then she, um, I don't want to get graphic here. She, uh, took,
01:47:12.260 uh, uh, took her, uh, uh, panties and then she, uh, applied the Indonesian chili sauce, uh, to a,
01:47:20.880 a very sensitive part of her body, which probably wasn't that funny to the person it was being done
01:47:28.160 too. I don't think it's really funny. Not even to us, but you seem to have, I mean, it's a good
01:47:33.580 die. That's, it probably doesn't cause permanent damage, right? And that's a good, I mean, shave
01:47:40.380 the head and that you've made a statement. You've made a statement. Yes. I don't know if it's a
01:47:47.840 statement you should make. Probably not. But so, so why was she so upset? Uh, because she,
01:47:54.660 it's not like she even loved this guy. All right. Uh, she said, uh, you know, I, I, I married him,
01:48:04.460 uh, and I became, uh, pregnant unexpectedly. Well, I can't be really unexpected. I mean,
01:48:15.060 you, you know how that works. Right. And she says, I, I wanted a divorce, but then I became,
01:48:20.660 uh, uh, married, uh, then I became pregnant again. So I, I have two young children, uh, and, uh,
01:48:29.160 and then here comes this woman, my friend, and she betrays me with my husband. So she has said,
01:48:37.360 I talked to my mother about it. I don't know if her mother knew about the hot sauce thing or was
01:48:42.080 involved in that. She said, I talked to my mother about it. And she said that I should take my husband
01:48:47.680 back. And, uh, so she, uh, has forgiven him. Uh, but she said, I have not forgotten about it.
01:48:58.980 Now, I'm not sure if she's taken the friend back as well. Um, or if you were a friend, you know,
01:49:06.860 if you were the one, you know, with a hot sauce on you, I don't think I'm going back into your life.
01:49:12.540 I don't, you know, it's a little, it'd be a little awkward. I, I think I'm, I think I've, I've,
01:49:20.380 I've had enough of everybody in this house, but thank you.
01:49:27.380 Uh, by the way, the, um, the neighbor was sentenced to three months in prison.
01:49:32.560 Um, the, the neighbor, because the neighbor helped hold the woman down. Uh, and what did
01:49:42.660 the woman who applied the hot sauce get her husband back? Okay. All right. Congratulations.
01:49:48.500 Perfect. Yeah. Well, all right. So Tika Tiwari, uh, we just had him on. He is our go-to expert
01:49:56.440 on cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin. He's actually been teaching a class, uh, for our listeners and it
01:50:02.280 gets, you know, uh, an a plus rating. It's, I think it's 97%, uh, give it four stars. It's,
01:50:10.060 it's, you know, it's quite a good deal. He's a great teacher. Anyway, he said that, uh, here's
01:50:16.400 your last chance before Bitcoin goes to, he says 40,000 by the end of the year. That is pretty
01:50:25.720 incredible, but he's going to explain it tonight. And he, I mean, he's been working on this thing
01:50:32.260 for about three months and he told me three months ago in the middle of June, you're going to start
01:50:36.960 to see Bitcoin, uh, start to recover and it's going to start to recover quickly. And, uh, he comes into
01:50:44.080 town and in the last two days, it's up what? 11%, 15%. Yeah. I mean, it's like, it's happening
01:50:49.860 again. Uh, and he said, I can explain why. And I'm also going to give you the name of three different
01:50:56.080 cryptocurrencies to invest in that are not as expensive as Bitcoin, but he is really urging
01:51:02.740 Bitcoin. I always urge you to do your, uh, your own homework. Um, so please, if you, if you watch
01:51:11.840 tonight, do your own homework and think all of this through, but he's going to bring you all of the
01:51:16.640 information tonight. It's all free. You don't have to be a blaze subscriber or anything. It's free.
01:51:21.140 You go to Beck crypto show.com Beck crypto show.com. I am there to just kind of, uh, facilitate and ask
01:51:30.240 questions. And, and also we're going to be taking questions from the, uh, from the audience. So
01:51:35.740 you'll be able to ask questions tonight, 8 PM Eastern live. You have to register to be a part of
01:51:42.640 this. Go to Beck crypto show.com and register. Now it's at eight o'clock tonight, Eastern time.
01:51:49.080 You want to be a part of this. Also, he's going to be taking some questions here in about 15 minutes
01:51:54.320 on Facebook with me. So go to my Facebook play page. Is it my page or the blaze my page? Um,
01:52:00.440 and, uh, we're just going to be taking questions from the audience. Uh, and we'll do that for about
01:52:05.600 10 or 15 minutes, uh, right after this broadcast. And then we prepare tonight. You don't want to miss
01:52:11.860 absolutely free Beck crypto show.com.
01:52:20.220 So they've, um, they've stopped California from splitting into three States, which I'm really
01:52:26.820 bummed about. Um, the California Supreme court, uh, has said, no, you can't really do that. You have
01:52:33.620 to have, uh, three quarters of the legislature vote for it. And then it can go to the people,
01:52:38.700 which stupid. It sounds like a typical California thing. Yeah. No, I got to have the people in
01:52:46.440 charge decide if that's okay for the little people to decide. I would also think the federal
01:52:50.480 government has some say there. I thought it did. I apparently not. Yeah. I don't think you can
01:52:54.560 just do that and create, I think four more senators. I think you can, uh, cause it was my
01:53:01.500 understanding in the constitution that it, no state could subdivide. No state could accept Texas.
01:53:08.700 It's always, it's always that except for Texas. You can't hide aliens except Texas. Uh, okay. So
01:53:17.120 anyway, uh, Pat's going to be talking about that on his show coming up next on the blaze radio network.
01:53:21.440 I'll see you tonight, five o'clock on the blaze. And then for the crypto show,
01:53:25.320 that crypto show.com Facebook next mercury.
