California and Venezuela have an awful lot in common right now.
00:00:12.740
The governments of both Caracas and Sacramento are inadvertently forcing people out of the
00:00:19.500
state and the country, and they are leaving in catastrophic droves.
00:00:25.500
It shows the truth to America about what progressivism, hardcore socialism, has done and what they
00:00:34.480
They are killers, and ultimately they destroy countries and states.
00:00:42.160
From January to May, over 400,000 people have fled Venezuela.
00:00:51.680
NGOs in neighboring countries report the numbers coming out of Venezuela are increasingly
00:00:58.440
Since the beginning of the year, they report 4,600 new arrivals a day, a day.
00:01:04.760
That makes 700,000 people leaving the country this year, and we are barely halfway through
00:01:18.560
This year alone, 48,000 teachers have called it quits and moved to neighboring countries.
00:01:26.220
Venezuela is currently seeing a massive shortage of doctors, electricians, bus drivers, engineers,
00:01:48.560
But I find myself today, and I have said incredible things, into this device.
00:01:58.380
In my 40 plus years of broadcast, I have reported on some amazing things.
00:02:06.400
But I never, ever thought I would be able to compare any U.S. state with a collapsing communist
00:02:17.280
The similarities between socialist Venezuela and the progressive blue state of California are beginning to be very striking.
00:02:34.060
California now has the second largest amounts of residents fleeing the state annually.
00:02:40.280
They're right behind New York, their progressive blue sister state.
00:02:44.860
Taxes, the cost of homes and homelessness, sending people to places like Texas and Nevada.
00:02:53.040
But like Venezuela, the scariest sign for California is what's happening to business there.
00:02:59.760
In the past 12 to 24 months, listen to the list of companies that have decided they can't take it anymore.
00:03:08.220
They cannot do business in California because of the high taxes, the massive overregulation.
00:03:32.700
Nissan of North America, like Carl's Jr., went to Nashville.
00:03:45.700
This list is a lot longer and it's going to grow even more in the next 6 to 12 months.
00:03:51.280
Over two dozen companies have now announced they're looking into leaving California.
00:03:56.560
Some experts speculate that nearly 10,000 companies have left the state of California since 2008.
00:04:12.740
People are fleeing, jobs are leaving, businesses dying, progressives and socialists.
00:04:48.680
How about the guy running for office, congressional office in Virginia that is a pedophile and doesn't have a problem admitting it.
00:04:58.300
And he's like, ah, people are tired of being PC.
00:05:02.620
Should we start at, should the president be able to pardon himself for crimes?
00:05:16.300
Or should we continue on the road of California?
00:05:18.800
It is now against the law in California to shower and do laundry on the same day.
00:05:31.560
Two bills were signed into law Thursday to help California be better prepared for the droughts and effects of climate change.
00:05:46.440
Even though you haven't built a reservoir in like 40 years and the population has increased,
00:05:53.040
the last thing you want to do is build a reservoir.
00:05:56.600
Just let all that rainwater just go right into the ocean.
00:06:00.340
Instead, what they've done is put mandatory water conservation standards into effect permanently.
00:06:10.200
To make a long story short, now that these bills are the law,
00:06:13.600
it is illegal to take a shower and do a load of laundry on the same day
00:06:23.400
Senate Bill 606 establishes a governing body to oversee the water supply.
00:06:32.560
Assembly Bill 1668 establishes limits on indoor water uses for every person in California,
00:06:39.880
and the amount allowed will decrease even further over the next 12 years.
00:06:44.580
The bill, January 1, 2025, would establish 55 gallons per capita daily.
00:06:51.160
The standard for indoor residential water use will be 55 gallons.
00:07:27.460
If you have 55 gallons, you've done a load of laundry,
00:07:32.940
and one person in the family takes an eight-minute shower,
00:07:44.080
If you want to take a bath, that's 80 to 100 gallons, twice the limit.
00:07:54.040
If you want to clean your dishes with a dishwasher or water,
00:08:02.820
That doesn't count anything that you want to use for your dogs.
00:08:22.780
every single person will be over it and breaking the law on day one.
00:08:34.140
They'll fine you, which will provide the state with more money.
00:08:40.000
Cause more people and more businesses to leave California.
00:08:44.220
You know, the weird thing about the California population is
00:08:47.100
all of these people and companies have left the state in droves.
00:08:52.420
And yet the state's population has continued to rise.
00:09:07.740
This is a state that is going to have the widest income disparity
00:09:18.760
Because it will only be those people who are in the Hollywood Hills
00:09:24.560
and the people who are, quite honestly, trapped there.
00:09:33.980
the people who live in the Hollywood Hills won't stay
00:09:36.800
if you make them only have 55 gallons of water.
00:09:44.260
spas, and other water features will be included.
00:09:46.920
Yeah, you'll be able to, you know, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure.
00:09:50.960
they're not going to be able to have, you know,
00:09:52.820
God forbid they take a minute longer in the shower.
00:09:57.200
But I'll be able to wear, I'll be able to turn on my fountain.
00:10:04.440
Cause government never gets out of control with these types of things.
00:10:07.500
How are they going to find out how much water you're using?
00:10:10.260
Well, obviously there's some basic ways for things like showers,
00:10:21.860
or other best available technology to develop an accurate estimate of
00:10:45.140
when California can no longer afford to do the things and run the lifestyle that
00:11:02.520
I'm going to take a shower and I am not living by your rules anymore.
00:11:18.720
I am not going to make the choice between flushing my toilet and doing a load of laundry on the day.
00:11:33.220
what kind of third world country is California becoming?
00:11:51.840
they passed a zero emission rule that said that a certain percentage of cars,
00:11:56.860
20% of cars by a certain date had to be a zero emissions.
00:12:09.800
ridiculous electric cars to try to hit these standards.
00:12:19.780
the Chevy Volt is a thousand times better than what.
00:12:26.240
they actually churned out when they tried to hit those standards.
00:12:31.300
which is nothing but pleasing to environmentalists called a who killed the electric car.
00:12:36.280
And it was about this idea that they were going to try to force them to create these cars that didn't exist.
00:12:42.680
And so they tried and they were complete disasters for many reasons that the documentary doesn't talk about.
00:12:53.140
when they got to the end of this and these deadlines came up and they didn't have this percentage of cars,
00:12:59.000
what they had to do was just change the standards.
00:13:04.340
every car company was going to have to remove itself from California.
00:13:07.020
And obviously they know that that was not what they wanted.
00:13:34.960
The problem is they made it out of a composite up until like,
00:13:41.120
they made it out of a composite that cannot biodegrade in any way,
00:13:48.140
shape or form the earth until we're all covered in lava.
00:13:54.220
the bodies of these cars are going to sit in Eastern Europe forever.
00:14:11.120
It was not because the people of Eastern Europe wanted them.
00:14:15.680
They hated them because the government got involved and said,
00:14:27.700
And you are going to purchase this because we know better than you do.
00:14:44.880
somebody in the audience knows what those things are called.
00:15:00.200
We watched a documentary on this with the last couple of months.
00:15:04.380
and I think this one was built into like 2010 or 2008.
00:15:18.640
The June Fed meeting is coming up June 12th and 13th.
00:15:22.580
The economists overwhelmingly are predicting now that the Fed is going to raise rates.
00:15:27.880
If you have found a home that you're interested in financing,
00:15:30.400
or you're thinking about taking advantage of the low rates,
00:15:36.280
And American financing can help whether you're buying your first home,
00:15:41.760
let American financing customize the right loan program for you.
00:15:50.320
And American financing employs salary-based mortgage consultants,
00:15:57.080
A plus rating from the BBB and over 1700 Google reviews.
00:16:03.560
You can complete your documents from the comfort of your own home.
00:16:06.380
There's no upfront fees and you can utilize every single loan in the industry,
00:16:10.840
but they're going to find the right one for you.
00:17:02.000
There was a car back in the day that the former Soviet Union was building.
00:17:13.260
And now, all throughout Eastern Europe, there are just these giant fields full of these cars
00:17:22.300
cars because the body they built them on is non-biodegradable.
00:17:28.360
Because they want them to last for a long time.
00:17:29.860
And cannot be broken down, recycled, reused in any way, shape, or form.
00:17:35.920
So, it's just this graveyard of millions of these cars.
00:17:40.540
And I'm trying to remember, Stu, do you remember?
00:17:43.300
It was like more than all of the American car industry combined for a while.
00:17:51.700
We should actually see if we can get James May on.
00:17:59.520
If you're a Prime subscriber, you can watch it as part of their package.
00:18:07.360
The first one, we've talked about it before, where they go through all of these really bad
00:18:14.800
And how every one of them turned out to be a disaster except for one.
00:18:36.060
The disaster was that the government said, here's savings stamps where everybody can have
00:18:42.320
So, send us your, you know, I don't know what it was, you know, 10 marks a month for
00:18:46.820
the next 18 months, and in the end, we're going to give you a car.
00:18:52.560
And they used it for other things like the war machine.
00:18:57.480
I feel safe saying that if you wanted to buy a car and instead funded the Nazi war regime,
00:19:03.160
I would say that potentially that's a disaster.
00:19:10.720
I wanted to point out that, yes, it was a disaster because of that, but the actual car
00:19:16.460
No, and it eventually turned into, obviously, a...
00:19:20.080
It was a great car when it was first shown, was it not?
00:19:24.400
I think, especially in comparison to these other ones.
00:19:33.640
You know, if you want to teach your kids in a fun way about communism and how bad communism
00:20:06.920
I am so excited for the weekend after next, Father's Day weekend.
00:20:14.880
We are doing our Mercury Museum, our exhibition.
00:20:19.140
It's a limited exhibition of some of the items in our collection.
00:20:24.740
And it is all about rights and responsibilities.
00:20:28.300
It's all about knowing these and knowing when they go wrong and what things are like.
00:20:39.040
What happens if you live in a world where man doesn't have any human rights?
00:20:43.540
Where it's not self-evident that you have a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?
00:20:50.300
I'm convinced that our unum, the one thing that we can all agree on, the Bill of Rights.
00:20:57.740
I'm also convinced that everything that we have going on or every problem that we face today is because somehow or another, we have found a way to violate the Bill of Rights.
00:21:08.760
So, the heroes who have stood up for rights and the stories of when they go wrong, you don't want to miss this.
00:21:19.640
Tickets are now available, general admission, or you can get private tours with me or David Barton or Stu or anybody else.
00:21:25.500
And we're going to be there all weekend and we would love, love to see you.
00:21:29.360
So, if you've ever been to one of our museums, this one's going to be over the top.
00:21:33.540
I think you're going to really, really like this one.
00:21:37.760
First time we've ever opened the entire studio.
00:21:43.200
And you're going to be taken through the floor of the entire first floor is open for the museum.
00:21:50.680
And we'll have pieces that are pretty shocking.
00:21:55.580
I don't have word yet on what is coming on one section.
00:22:00.840
We know we have a lot on Abraham Lincoln, but we have asked the Lincoln Museum up in Illinois if we could borrow a few items.
00:22:12.720
They haven't decided what they're going to loan us yet.
00:22:14.880
But what we've asked for is the original Emancipation Proclamation signed by...
00:22:29.940
I'm not sure, but I don't want to promise anything.
00:22:32.700
The things that we have asked for are remarkable.
00:22:36.840
For instance, I didn't even know this existed still.
00:22:44.880
Handwritten and, you know, I guess on the train by Abraham Lincoln.
00:22:50.580
And also the stovepipe hat and gloves that are all bloodied from the night that he was shot.
00:23:10.320
Yeah, we're talking about how these things come together every time a minute to go off the air.
00:23:13.940
And it seems like what usually happens is there's this great collection of stuff that if we get none of these items you're talking about, it's still great.
00:23:25.200
And then there's always these, like, three or four things that are, like, over the top that we request.
00:23:31.240
I think last time it was, hey, can we get the Bible that was actually taken over on the Mayflower?
00:23:42.660
You're standing there and you're like, well, that's really a pilgrim's hat and his clothes and that's his gun and that's the Bible that they were reading on the Mayflower?
00:24:00.520
You know, I think of how do I kill myself before I enter it.
00:24:03.920
I should take you through this one with your imagination today so you can know what I'm planning because this one is unlike anything that we've ever done.
00:24:12.860
This one is really, really unlike anything we've ever done.
00:24:18.960
I mean, we just like four weeks ago, I'm like, okay, guys, I'm sorry to throw this on you, but can we get an actual French guillotine anywhere?
00:24:33.520
And in the circles that we run in, somebody did.
00:24:36.940
And so one of the guillotine, the French guillotine is coming because we want to show the difference between the American Revolution and the French Revolution.
00:24:56.300
I think this week they're starting to reassemble the gallows in one part of the museum.
00:25:04.820
It's going to be an uplifting workplace for the next couple of weeks.
00:25:07.720
No, I tell you, the first 20% of the museum is a little dark.
00:25:12.720
In fact, we're talking about having a pass-through because you may not want to have your kids go through the first few minutes of the museum because it's really dark.
00:25:23.580
But the rest of it is really uplifting and ends with the choices that we have to make.
00:25:29.880
The possibilities of the future are unbelievable.
00:25:33.240
We can reach to the stars and beyond or we can be shut up in a cage.
00:25:40.660
And it will all be decided on what our future is based on our reaction to our rights and our responsibilities.
00:25:51.440
Really cool Father's Day weekend present because it's actually happening that weekend.
00:26:06.840
Yeah, there's a lot of great tours you could do or you could just come and check it out yourself.
00:26:18.220
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, June 15th through the 17th.
00:26:21.100
Here are the studios in Dallas, Texas, the Mercury Studios in Las Colinas.
00:26:32.580
We don't have time to do this real justice here, Stu.
00:26:38.100
Let's take a break and then we're going to come back so we can spend some quality time just asking a question.
00:27:02.580
There's a candidate that is running for Congress that is forcing us to ask this question.
00:27:12.180
It's a day of firsts on the Glenn Beck program.
00:27:20.340
If you run a business, you know, one of the hardest things you do is hiring people.
00:27:26.880
Because they have to mesh with the rest of everybody else.
00:27:33.740
But, I mean, really, how good are you at those things?
00:27:39.460
You know, you'll go to a website and you'll just post your job at a website and you hope that the right person sees it.
00:27:44.480
And you can identify them in the pile of resumes that you get.
00:27:52.700
So it learns what you're looking for and it sends your job to over a hundred of the web's leading job boards.
00:27:58.160
But then they scan thousands of resumes to find the right person with the right experience and then invite them to apply for your job.
00:28:07.180
So as the application comes in, ZipRecruiter analyzes every single one of these and then spotlights the top candidates so you don't miss what they see because it can scan so much information.
00:28:20.300
ZipRecruiter, it is so effective that 80% of the employers who post on ZipRecruiter get a quality candidate in through the site on the first day.
00:28:32.360
Try it for free and see who's coming through your front door that possibly will change your business.
00:28:50.300
There is a candidate running in Virginia that is an interesting choice for Virginians.
00:29:07.760
Now, he's a 37-year-old accountant from Charlottesville, Virginia.
00:29:12.240
He's running for Congress as an independent candidate.
00:29:16.500
Now, Stu, before I get into everything about him, can you just give me...
00:29:25.420
Give me the stats on, you know, like his tax policy.
00:29:39.560
He wants government out of everybody's business.
00:30:03.660
A lot of people are tired of political correctness and being constrained by...
00:30:12.120
People prefer when there's an outsider who doesn't have anything to lose and is willing
00:30:22.580
Maybe you don't want the swamp drained this much.
00:30:28.300
This is the creature that lives at the bottom of the swamp.
00:30:32.700
This 37-year-old accountant has bragged on website posts about raping his late ex-wife.
00:30:47.700
Now, he hasn't actually raped his ex-wife, right?
00:30:55.640
He also has confirmed that he created the now defunct websites, and I'm not going to
00:31:00.380
give them, but they served as chat rooms, as gathering places for pedophiles, and also
00:31:11.480
The websites are defunct, at least according to this report, so it's probably not going
00:31:18.320
But what I found was interesting about it was there's a bunch of things I didn't know
00:31:22.320
Like, we've only very recently discovered what an incel is, and that is...
00:31:32.080
Because the only reason I say that we have is because a couple of the mass shooters fell
00:31:51.180
No one will do that with you, so you're an incel, and usually that leads to, you know,
00:31:59.160
Now, of course, you know, a lot of people are involuntarily celibate.
00:32:04.840
You know, like, go through every high school and college in America, you're going to find,
00:32:09.740
like, a lot of people who fall into that category, most of them not desiring to be celibate.
00:32:14.920
However, however, there is a certain wing of this group that seems to act out in violence
00:32:24.760
and talk about, you know, that they should not have to be celibate because they should
00:32:35.460
Uh, he, uh, he's written an essay about, uh, you know, father-daughter incest and about
00:32:44.100
In a recent interview, he was asked whether there was a grain of truth in his essay, and
00:32:49.100
he said, yes, but plenty of women have rape fantasies as well.
00:32:55.700
Well, look, maybe that's what he's talking about.
00:33:02.520
Um, he's claims in his campaign manifesto, his platform is a quasi neo-reactionary libertarian,
00:33:11.800
which includes protecting gun ownership rights.
00:33:30.800
Oh, he also has urged Congress to repeal the violence against women act.
00:33:39.660
He says, we need to switch to a system that classifies women as property initially of their
00:33:48.280
He showed sympathy for men who identify as involuntary celibates or incels, suggesting it is unfair
00:33:54.720
that they are forced to pay taxes for school welfare and other support for other men's children.
00:34:06.820
I mean, the tax policy doesn't seem as exciting.
00:34:23.160
And why doesn't every pedophile just focus on making money so they can get a pedo wife
00:34:29.060
and then either impregnate her with some young boy or adopt some young children?
00:34:38.900
That would accommodate both those who are and are not into incest.
00:34:44.740
And, of course, the adoption process lets you pick a boy or a girl.
00:34:53.060
Now, he has a child, by the way, with his ex-wife.
00:35:07.320
You'd think this is an upstanding member of society, but no, he could not get custody.
00:35:12.380
He also identifies himself as a hebephilic racist.
00:35:36.180
Well, today's word of the day, kid, is hebephilia.
00:35:39.940
This is an alert future people looking into investigations.
00:35:43.920
I did this on the air for informative purposes only.
00:35:50.060
Hebephilia is the strong, persistent sexual interest by adults in pubescent, early adolescent children,
00:36:02.840
What's the difference between that and pedophilia?
00:36:10.320
It differs from pedophilia, which is the primary or exclusive sexual interest in prepubescent children.
00:36:26.640
ephibophilia, which is the primary sexual interest in later adolescents, typically ages 15 to 19.
00:36:33.320
So, we're going to get this guy's website out to vote for him?
00:36:42.720
He also has just been released of, you know, from federal prison for threatening to kill the last president.
00:37:01.440
Because I just did a break where a guy in Virginia is running for Congress, and he's a pedophile, and he's open about it.
00:37:11.580
I think people are tired of, you know, these politicians not really being open.
00:37:20.120
Not when you're opening up your drawers for children.
00:37:24.860
So, I can't say this is the craziest thing I've heard, but it's on the scale.
00:37:36.480
America, regular news today, looks like one of the reasons why we're meeting in Pyongyang
00:37:42.460
and having negotiations with the North Koreans is because their leader wants a McDonald's.
00:37:51.760
Apparently, you know, Kim Jong-il used to have McDonald's flown in from China.
00:38:02.400
If you were running a country and you didn't have a McDonald's, but you ran a country where
00:38:08.680
you had no limits on your power, come on, you're telling me there wouldn't be maybe once
00:38:13.940
a month, every couple of months, at least you'd go, you know what?
00:38:17.140
I really feel like having a quarter pounder and a Big Mac.
00:38:21.480
Send one of those planes out to get one for me.
00:38:29.240
So, apparently, they think this is a really big deal that we might allow you to open a
00:38:42.060
Okay, I don't know if they know this, but that's not a big deal for us.
00:38:45.660
It's not like everybody in America has been like, oh, man, if we could just get McDonald's
00:38:58.980
Apparently, apparently, having a McDonald's in a closed country is a big deal.
00:39:09.900
Historically, when McDonald's franchises open in communist nations, it's usually a precursor
00:39:22.180
Like, somehow or another, everybody's going to have Big Macs and, and, and Filet-O-Fishes
00:39:31.760
I mean, I guess it is, but you know who wants to run the McDonald's?
00:39:37.000
Hey, of course, I'm sure they're all fat as well.
00:39:45.980
I think there is a legitimate argument that you plop a McDonald's down in some communist
00:39:50.080
dictatorship and it turns into revolution, into freedom.
00:39:53.800
People are like, wait a minute, this is available?
00:40:02.780
I mean, Bill Clinton's got to be kicking himself.
00:40:07.240
If this is the way that you get freedom in North Korea, Bill Clinton's like, why did
00:40:28.040
I'm, man, I'm, I'm, jeez, I, man, I'm glad you're here.
00:40:35.940
There's many, many wonderful places we could go to today.
00:40:42.400
None of them, I don't think any of them in the news today.
00:40:48.160
Right now, McDonald's is like, yes, come on, peace conference.
00:40:51.640
Well, there's such large disposable incomes in North Korea that would be able to frequent
00:41:02.940
They can't afford any food, let alone actual, like, food that's produced for you.
00:41:07.880
You know, it's like, you know, people will say about North Korea, well, why are people
00:41:11.200
Why don't they just go out into the fields and just, you know, because they've already been
00:41:17.060
They've destroyed it because people have no food.
00:41:30.760
If you just had a Whole Foods, everything would be solved.
00:41:42.040
Also, many of them are in prison and being tortured.
00:41:44.760
It's hard to get to the drive-thru when you've got, you know, needles pushed into under your
00:42:00.780
I believe it was over the last week or so that they're doing hotspots now.
00:42:07.240
You know, you have like a Wi-Fi hotspot where you might be at like a park.
00:42:10.820
Well, now Domino's is saying they will deliver not just to houses.
00:42:16.340
So like if you're just out in like a, if you're out in a park, get a pizza delivered to you in a park.
00:42:22.100
What if you happen to be at a playground and you want a pizza?
00:42:25.940
We are meeting, we are meeting with a, with a country that is starving their people to death
00:42:36.320
Centralized government somehow or another, they just can't make it work.
00:42:40.200
And we, on the other hand, are fatter than ever before.
00:42:44.940
And, and thinking to ourselves, man, I wish I could get a pizza here in the park.
00:42:55.160
And yet there's still a debate as to which way we should go as a government.
00:42:59.860
Like there's still people out there going like, I don't know, maybe the starvation one's better.
00:43:06.040
If we could perfect that one, we'd be able to nail this thing.
00:43:10.640
Cause it's working pretty well, even as corrupt and horrible as the system is, it's working pretty well.
00:43:19.300
It's kind of like, eh, let's dust it off a bit.
00:43:34.820
I should have spelled it R I T E because people are like riggets.
00:43:43.140
We are a country that has developed not one, but two separate individual tacos made out of a shell of fried chicken.
00:44:08.660
Well, the, the, the, the taco shell is fried chicken.
00:44:13.500
And then inside you have all the toppings that you would normally have.
00:44:17.360
Is it like the kind of, and I'm not saying this is a bad thing.
00:44:20.500
Is it like the, the, is it like the McRib where it was chicken that was sprayed out like some pancake batter?
00:44:30.860
I don't, I don't know what sort of anti McRib propaganda you're going with here.
00:44:36.660
I'm fine with, I don't think McDonald's needed to make it in the shape of ribs myself.
00:44:42.860
It would have been a little less disturbing because you don't want to eat the bone on ribs.
00:44:47.320
And then there's, I know, but I get the idea that this is from the rib without it being poured into a mold.
00:44:58.760
It's a, this is going to surprise you, but the chicken does not actually come in taco shape.
00:45:04.280
So yes, no, I know that, but there's a difference to me.
00:45:08.900
And maybe it's just because I'm a connoisseur and a snob, but there's a difference between like, you know, the old, you know, Italian grandmother who's just pounding the chicken into cutlets.
00:45:21.500
So it's really thin and the one that just kind of puts it in the machine and then it sprays out.
00:45:33.100
Taco Bell has hired tens of thousands of Italian grandmothers to pound it up.
00:45:40.040
I didn't think I was going to win that so easily, but you wanted to believe.
00:45:44.280
So they take a spatula, they cook it on one side, they take a spatula and flip it over.
00:45:53.840
Now, now is this, I just, I want to be, I want to be very clear and careful here because it took me a long time.
00:46:01.640
Well, it took me until I was old enough to where I didn't slurp the milkshake down from McDonald's that I actually left it, you know, someplace.
00:46:10.820
And then I came back an hour later and I'm like, this hasn't changed consistency before I realized it doesn't actually say milkshake.
00:46:23.620
So I want to, I just want to ask, this chicken taco, is it spelled with all of the same letters in the same way?
00:46:35.400
As a person who eats many chicken-esque products that are spelled C-H-I-C-K apostrophe N, I will assure you this is actual chicken.
00:46:50.400
So you're going to put the lettuce and the tomato and the cheese and the sour cream.
00:46:54.340
I think they have an avocado ranch sauce that happens to be part of this one.
00:47:03.720
No, I don't know, look, unless it's made right, you know the problem with avocado is, unless it is really, really, really fresh,
00:47:15.700
like I've just scooped it out of the peel myself and then mashed it into some sort of guacamole,
00:47:23.780
it turns dark green too fast and it's not an appealing color or texture or anything else.
00:47:34.720
That's why they keep, they say when they're like, come to your, there's these Mexican restaurants that will do the guacamole at your table.
00:47:42.160
That's only because it's only going to last like 18 seconds.
00:47:47.760
I believe it's, uh, Jim Gaffigan who says he saves time by just throwing the avocados out at the store.
00:47:55.540
That is exactly what happens to them every single time.
00:47:59.960
So you have the mild and the wild naked chicken chalupa, uh, available now at Taco Bell.
00:48:06.480
Again, like, do I think that if we brought a bunch of wild naked chicken chalupas to North Korea, would Kim Jong-un denuclearize?
00:48:14.060
Yes, that is what he would do if we just did that.
00:48:18.220
I lost interest when you started getting into North Korea.
00:48:21.060
I heard the beginning of that of, do I believe that bringing a bunch of these, and I thought you were going to say here to eat would make us happy.
00:48:33.080
Would you taste test one of these if we were, if we get them?
00:48:48.200
The wild has lettuce, tomato, cheese, and wild sauce.
00:48:54.740
Now, wild sauce is a, uh, obviously found initially by the pilgrims in the wild when they came to this country.
00:49:03.680
Uh, and it went immediately onto the Thanksgiving table.
00:49:09.740
Does that bother you that it used to be like cranberry sauce?
00:49:13.200
Now we don't even, we don't want to say what's in it.
00:49:20.760
You know, I just scooped this up off the floor.
00:49:24.360
They're actually going to great lengths to not tell you what it is.
00:49:31.820
It's not, I'm just, honestly, I realized I'm just assuming it's spicy.
00:49:39.400
Yeah, I'm just assuming it's wild, so it must be spicy.
00:49:57.340
But that being said, it's available now, and I'm assuming you want one?
00:50:08.580
Gee, should we do communism or the place that delivers wild, naked chicken chalupas with
00:50:19.860
And then the wild sauce is, I guess, what makes that wild.
00:50:24.460
I thought maybe there was something else wild as well.
00:50:27.620
I didn't want to get into like a double negative situation where one wild cancels out the other
00:50:35.300
Let's talk to you a little bit about something a little more serious.
00:50:45.320
I know enough about cryptocurrency to be dangerous to myself and to others.
00:50:51.980
And Stu, would you put yourself in that category?
00:51:02.380
It's when you, like the average person isn't going to lose everything they own on cryptocurrency
00:51:09.360
I'm dumb enough to lose every single dime I've ever made on this stuff.
00:51:12.080
And we're one of those people that we're like everybody's friend's expert on something,
00:51:19.120
But as soon as somebody who actually knows what they're doing comes into the room, their friend
00:51:24.320
is like, well, you know, I, you know, you tell them, Bob, because they know they know
00:51:31.020
Now, we found somebody, we found a smart person that walks in the room and we're like, hey,
00:51:38.180
Tika Tiwari is put together a crypto master course that will teach you everything that
00:51:43.940
you need to know about cryptocurrency, about blockchain, how to buy and sell crypto, why
00:51:54.920
Just trying to buy cryptocurrency unless it's one of the big three is really difficult.
00:52:06.960
All of those questions are answered now in a smart crypto course that we had Tika put together
00:52:11.760
because we were like, okay, our friends need to know this and we're not smart enough.
00:52:34.640
We just got the news in that the Supreme Court has ruled on the gay marriage baker cake controversy.
00:52:55.000
The Civil Rights Commission consideration of the case was inconsistent with the state's obligation of religious neutrality.
00:52:59.940
So the ruling comes down and I guess you would say it's always easy to put these Supreme Court rulings at a basic level first, which is it seems like it's a good ruling for us.
00:53:16.020
Well, even more than you're a baker if you care about religious freedom.
00:53:20.100
Now, what's interesting is if you look at the actual ruling, it was a 7-2 ruling.
00:53:25.060
Roberts, Breyer, Alito, Kagan, and Gorsuch joined Kennedy's opinion.
00:53:34.800
Ginsburg and Sotomayor are the only two no's on this.
00:53:40.340
The court writes, I'm just going to read some of this commentary.
00:53:44.220
SCOTUS blog is a great place to look if you ever care about this stuff.
00:53:47.560
The court writes that the delicate question of when the free exercise of the baker's religion must yield to an otherwise valid excuse of state power needed to be determined in an education which religious hostility on the part of the state itself would not be a factor in the balance the state sought to reach.
00:54:04.960
So, kind of what they're saying here is it's somewhat of a narrow win.
00:54:10.720
Basically, they're saying the commission erred in being biased in the ruling, but it's not necessarily saying, hey, every baker from now on will be able to make these decisions on their own, which is probably how you get it to be 7-2, right?
00:54:27.160
If you want to get a real ruling in a case like this, it's going to be 5-4 if you're lucky.
00:54:34.960
It's unclear whether the baker will have to go through another hearing in front of the commission.
00:54:41.560
The commission might just drop the case, but we don't know.
00:54:48.500
They basically just said the process was wrong.
00:54:57.100
I have been doing a lot of research because of the museum and then this book that I'm writing.
00:55:06.740
I went to home like noon on Friday and finally got up for my keyboard yesterday about midnight.
00:55:15.360
And the only times I moved was because the dogs would be like, please feed me.
00:55:22.820
And I've just been doing so much research on the Bill of Rights.
00:55:27.640
Freedom of religion and freedom of speech and the freedom of press.
00:55:35.360
I mean, just look at what the founders said about freedom of the press.
00:55:44.360
They went so far to say that the press has a right to even lie about things.
00:55:55.060
They have a right to I've got to find I have to find the exact phrasing because I found it this weekend.
00:56:02.340
I'm like, got to be kidding me because they were debating whether or not, you know, where the where the limits of freedom of speech went for the press.
00:56:12.680
And they so wanted to protect religion and speech and the press because of what they had just gone through.
00:56:20.420
They had this debate to where they were like, but wait a minute, you can say that's a lie, but it may not be perceived as a lie by this group that is printing it.
00:56:37.580
So even if their intent is malicious, they have a right to say it.
00:56:42.340
I'm going to give you the quote, how we can go from those people to what we just heard from the Supreme Court is remarkable.
00:56:52.100
A few years ago, I had to sell my home and we had moved out of state.
00:56:57.300
This is right after the real estate sort of collapse had happened.
00:57:00.660
And, you know, housing wasn't exactly flying off the market at that time.
00:57:06.340
We were living in Texas and trying to sell our house back in Pennsylvania.
00:57:12.860
I mean, you have to make sure that you have a really good real estate agent that can help you make sure that the house is marketed correctly.
00:57:20.020
Make sure that all the paperwork is correct because you're out of town.
00:57:23.120
You know, you're signing things that, you know, you're you're you're doing it digitally.
00:57:27.440
It's a complicated process and you need someone who's going to really keep you updated.
00:57:34.780
It's the place to go because you're going to have it's not going to be someone who just, you know, a family member or someone you just met recently that you kind of feel guilted into having as your agent.
00:57:42.820
These are people who have gone through a real rigorous screening process.
00:57:45.760
Realestateagentsitrust.com for the best agent in your area.
00:57:49.720
There's over a thousand on realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:57:53.080
So I'm I'm I'm reading the arguments back and forth of the founders of freedom of speech, freedom of religion.
00:58:16.540
And I finished a chapter this weekend on freedom of the press, and I just want to I just want to give you some of the things that they argued about when freedom of the press was so important to them.
00:58:33.560
So important because they had no freedom of press.
00:58:38.380
OK, it was it was sedition to print anything against the king.
00:58:45.040
Basically, pamphleteers were people that had access to a printing press and they would go and say, would you print this for me?
00:58:54.640
Sometimes they would have to break it up for several different printers because they'd get caught.
00:58:58.960
So they'd print them and then they would pass them out or sell them.
00:59:11.780
Somebody who has his own opinions and is writing and is publishing them and getting them in front of the public.
00:59:26.340
We take it so nonchalantly that it means nothing to us.
00:59:33.060
So everybody now is talking about, you know, fake news and, you know, opening up the libel laws or there should be a license for people in the press.
00:59:44.200
There should be a license for people on the Internet.
00:59:48.660
We're all citizens and we have a right to say what we believe, especially when it comes to the government.
00:59:56.760
So this was the this was the the mindset of the guys.
01:00:04.000
But soon as anybody had power, well, then they started saying, well, you can't say that.
01:00:12.160
You I mean, we have to be able to shut them down.
01:00:14.540
Now, I just I we just heard from the Supreme Court that the Baker case is being adjudicated kind of in the favor of the Baker.
01:00:31.500
And there's a caveat here that I think is is positive.
01:00:34.840
Right, because the debate that we've had over this case is if someone has a religious objection to participating in a gay marriage ceremony, should they be able to not make a cake for a gay wedding?
01:00:54.860
What we got was there's this battle between religious freedom and and the role of the government to protect the rights of a gay person.
01:01:04.020
Right. And like the debate on talk radio and in the media has been which can one the religious freedom right say, hey, you know what?
01:01:14.880
It doesn't matter what the government says about what they want.
01:01:18.660
So we didn't get that ruling, unfortunately, today.
01:01:20.840
What we got was you have to at least take religious freedom seriously.
01:01:28.420
Actually is a thing is what there's that's basically like religious freedom is a thing.
01:01:32.140
So this is why you got at seven to if you could if you could boil down the the rights that you have.
01:01:38.860
You have the right unless it violates the right of someone else.
01:01:49.080
This is why both parties need to just walk away because you cannot choose a winner here.
01:01:56.800
You cannot choose and say, especially when there are others that will serve you.
01:02:13.180
I don't care who what religious person is saying.
01:02:20.700
Now, can I not make a cake because of my religion?
01:02:46.680
But your but your rights are canceling each other right to cake.
01:02:49.440
Even if there's only one cake shop, there's no right.
01:03:06.060
This is so screwed up because we don't understand the basic right.
01:03:17.160
And the minute you start to water them down, you start to dissolve them the minute.
01:03:25.120
It's like Alka-Seltzer, where you just would take the tablet and say, you know what?
01:03:28.200
I'm just going to hold it up into the I'm just going to put part of it.
01:03:30.980
I'm just going to hold it here at the top and it's going to be OK.
01:03:38.120
You cannot just put a little bit of the tablet of Alka-Seltzer in the water.
01:03:57.800
Now, this is going to piss off both sides because both sides, one side wants to shut down people like me.
01:04:04.620
The other side wants to shut down people like, you know, CNN.
01:04:16.380
The founders were struggling with this because they were like, how are we going to cobble together a country if we have a bunch of people in the press and a bunch of people, you know, who are pamphleteers tearing us apart every step of the way?
01:04:33.280
They well, first they said, well, OK, no libel.
01:04:36.880
I mean, they have to express themselves in a manner that is decent at the time that meant you can't libel anybody.
01:04:50.200
Well, they went back and forth and back and forth, and then the sedition law came in and they're like, look, this isn't working.
01:05:00.240
Anyway, there was a there was a an essay written by Hay, who was was one of our key founders, and he said a citizen should have the right.
01:05:20.600
A citizen should have the right to say everything which his passions suggest.
01:05:30.240
Think of Roseanne, think of Samantha Bee, think of me.
01:05:37.880
Think of all of the talk that the president has done.
01:05:41.280
Think of all of the talk that Bill Bill Maher has done, all the talk that all of these people have said that some way or another has gotten them into hot water.
01:05:54.140
Every citizen should have the right to say everything which his passions suggest.
01:06:02.420
He may employ all of his time and all of his talents, if he is wicked enough to do so, in speaking against the government in matters that are false, scandalous, and malicious.
01:06:16.920
And despite this, still be safe within the sanctuary of the press, even if he condemns the principle of Republican institutions.
01:06:35.560
What right did we have to say, you don't have a right to believe that, to say that?
01:06:59.840
We should just use them perhaps more carefully.
01:07:05.560
He continued, the citizen has the right, even to the basest motives, even if he ascribes them measures and acts which had never had existence, thus violating at once every principle of decency and truth.
01:07:28.780
If, later, you should not think this, you have no right to tell any citizen, you shall not think this upon certain subjects.
01:07:43.680
We, we have to understand that there is a difference between the Bill of Rights for the government.
01:07:57.660
This bakery thing, this is a government saying, I'm going to penalize you for your actions.
01:08:11.060
But we also have to look at the Bill of Rights and understand that these were the things that brought us here.
01:08:19.580
These are the things, whether people realize it today or not, as they're coming across the border illegally, what they're really coming for is the Bill of Rights.
01:08:29.380
Because the Bill of Rights stops us from eating each other.
01:08:36.220
When the Bill of Rights are truly understood, it says we can live side by side with vast differences, vast ideologies and theologies.
01:08:48.960
And we can live next to one another, we can create with one another, we can trade with one another.
01:09:00.140
Because I respect your right to be entirely different than me.
01:09:06.700
And you, in return, respect my right to be entirely different from you.
01:09:12.500
We may have nothing in common and still live in harmony if we can only agree on that.
01:09:32.280
The next argument you have, no matter what it's about.
01:10:10.920
You know, I wrote a chapter this weekend about the Fifth Amendment.
01:10:22.020
And it just became so clear to me as I was writing this.
01:10:25.540
I don't even know where it came from, but I've just been marinating in this for so long.
01:10:28.980
That it's so clear to me, we don't have the right to do things to other people that we wouldn't want done to us.
01:10:44.220
We would, you would, the guy who has the coffee shop in Seattle, who kicked people out because they were pro-life.
01:10:57.080
And he was ranting and ranting and raving, get out.
01:11:02.720
I'll tell you who I can have in here and who I can't.
01:11:09.480
Not because of the way you were born, the way, your race or anything else, but because of the ideas that you hold.
01:11:26.100
I would never go in there and I would tell my friends not to go in there.
01:11:37.340
And I can guarantee you that that guy will be on the front line telling another business owner exactly what he must do to be in compliance with his belief.
01:11:52.600
And at the same time, violating the other man's belief.
01:11:56.820
The only way this works, the only thing that can bring us back together is finding our e pluribus unum from many one.
01:12:09.400
The only thing is the respect of basic human rights as outlined in the Bill of Rights.
01:12:30.960

This is a group of people who were just trying to solve a problem.
01:12:43.600
When capitalism, it is the very best, is when it doesn't set out to make money.
01:13:02.140
They couldn't install some wired, you know, system in a house because they were renting for a few months.
01:13:08.020
So they had a friend who was a genius and said, hey, can you help us on this?
01:13:13.700
So he put something together just for his friends.
01:13:18.160
And that problem is, I don't want somebody in my house wiring my house.
01:13:27.380
I want to be able to have complete control over it.
01:13:32.760
I don't want to spend a lot of money because I know that's just a sham.

01:14:00.200
The more I read this ruling with the Supreme Court, the worse it gets.
01:14:06.880
Yeah, the less, I mean, it seems to make a, draw a line that if you're a pastor, you don't
01:14:11.080
have to do, you don't have to participate in a ruling, but that's about it.
01:14:18.440
It's about each of us being able to follow the conscience of our own dictate.
01:14:25.180
We'll be able to follow our own spirit and our own God.
01:14:52.080
Now some are saying that this is just a smokescreen to cover up his own misdeeds.
01:14:55.660
Last week he, um, he backed Samantha Bee, who faced criticism for her off-color comment
01:15:05.860
Most recently, Whedon has taken aim at Jordan Peterson, who is the subject of a piece in the
01:15:12.100
Los Angeles Times titled, hate on Jordan Peterson all you want, but he's tapping into
01:15:19.280
If feminists don't like his message, then maybe they should offer a better one.
01:15:24.820
Quote, feminism taps into a frustration that's been ignored of, uh, in all of history.
01:15:43.140
Uh, although I might point out that what you're doing here may be just, uh, the fact that you're
01:15:49.560
trying to cover up the hashtag me too accusation that you faced also last week.
01:15:54.480
Uh, in case you missed it, uh, it started in August of last year, uh, Kaya Cole, his ex-wife
01:16:01.640
penned an article exposed, exposing him as a hypocrite, preaching feminist ideals.
01:16:07.400
Quote, I want to let women know that he's not who he pretends to be.
01:16:11.180
She wrote, I want the people who worship him to know he is human and the organizations
01:16:19.120
You better think twice in the future about who you're honoring and honoring a man who
01:16:25.200
Stu, I cannot, I can't think of another case where that might've happened before.
01:16:34.780
Or maybe, uh, in, with, uh, the guy that New York just charged was another big vocal.
01:16:41.420
Harvey Weinstein was a big vocal supporter as well.
01:16:54.040
So maybe we should just all step off our high horse here for a minute and maybe we should
01:17:00.380
instead actually listen to what Jordan Peterson is saying.
01:17:05.140
I don't think people, most people are going to take the time to, uh, you know, stop listening
01:17:10.560
to themselves and reading the responses to their own tweets to do that.
01:17:14.160
But I highly recommend that maybe all of us can learn from just spending the time and
01:17:44.020
I, uh, we kind of had a curve ball thrown to us, uh, today and we're trying to figure it
01:17:48.660
Um, uh, but the, uh, court ruling has just come down, uh, for the, uh, Supreme court, the
01:17:56.260
case of the Colorado, um, a baker that said, I can't, my, my religious belief is that I, I
01:18:09.560
I'll sell you anything, any prepared cake, but I, not this, I can't take my art and apply
01:18:25.140
Well, that's not acceptable in color, uh, in Colorado.
01:18:28.760
And, uh, so they, uh, they tried to shut him down, find him all kinds of, he went to the
01:18:39.080
It looks like a mixed bag, but I don't think it is necessarily a mixed bag at this point.
01:18:43.820
It's starting to look like it's leaning worse, leaning negative.
01:18:50.120
It's hard to say that exactly, but in case you haven't followed this or heard the announcement
01:18:57.920
Um, so seven, two, obviously you're like, wow, there's that never happens anymore, right?
01:19:01.980
It seems it's always five, four in these, you know, these tough cases like this.
01:19:05.380
The reason though, it's seven, two is interesting.
01:19:08.360
A lot of people are complaining online at the AP and many others using the word narrow to
01:19:13.920
describe the ruling in a narrow ruling, a narrow seven, two ruling, right?
01:19:19.160
And people are saying seven, two, isn't narrow.
01:19:22.940
They're talking about the narrow scope of it in legal, in, in a legal sense.
01:19:27.120
They zoomed in and narrowed in on one part of this.
01:19:31.500
And that is that Colorado did not give enough deference or take his religious stance seriously.
01:19:41.440
They came with an agenda and dismissed his religious argument from the get-go.
01:19:48.020
And you, and what they're saying is, so the narrow isn't, is, is correct when it comes
01:19:52.720
They're not saying the baker can avoid making the cake.
01:19:55.720
They're not saying that, which is what conservatives wanted them to say.
01:19:58.720
Hey, bakers, if you, if you're, you know, you don't have to make a cake for a gay wedding.
01:20:02.040
If you, if your religious conscious says you don't, you don't, you can't, they are not
01:20:07.840
What they're saying is religious freedom is a thing.
01:20:18.500
It's not narrow in as, in as, as far as account seven to two, seven to two.
01:20:22.960
That's why you got a seven to two ruling though, because they only ruled on this little sliver
01:20:27.380
of this and basically said this one case in Colorado wasn't decided correctly.
01:20:31.840
They got a seven to victory with Kagan coming on and Breyer coming on, which is rare though.
01:20:37.000
I think you can make the argument at this point that Kagan is sort of turning into the
01:20:40.360
left's Roberts or like occasionally she's actually disappointing them.
01:20:44.600
They finally have someone who's occasionally disappointing them.
01:20:56.780
You're not getting the, oh yeah, of course you can force people to buy products like insurance.
01:21:00.780
They're not getting that, but at least they're getting a little disappointment, which is nice.
01:21:04.640
Um, but that is the big, uh, thing here is that they didn't decide the fundamental question
01:21:12.640
Which is, does the Supreme court think that religious freedom can allow you to not, you
01:21:19.660
know, avoid participating in a, in a, in a work of art, right?
01:21:24.420
Like photographers have been on this road as well.
01:21:33.660
Let's say I sell a product that is, uh, you know, it's, it's, I don't know, it's accounting
01:21:39.660
Uh, you're going to sell your accounting software.
01:21:43.680
You're going to allow it to be used, uh, by just anybody.
01:21:50.940
I'm not going to have a litmus test on who can buy it.
01:21:53.540
Well, do you know that Planned Parenthood is using it?
01:21:56.480
Well, yeah, I don't really like that, but it's a product that's on the shelf and anyone
01:22:04.380
That's different than Planned Parenthood coming to this firm and saying, I need you to develop
01:22:08.800
accounting software for us so we can, so we can really track how much money we've made
01:22:15.320
Ah, no, my, my conscience says, I'm not going to do that because I believe you're engaged
01:22:24.440
You want the product, you can go to the store and you can buy that, but I can't apply my
01:22:31.860
Now that's people would say that's not artistic, but I believe it is any of our skills.
01:22:40.080
Should I be forced to take what I do and say something for a product?
01:22:47.800
Just using my voice and likeness because, you know, Glenn Beck is, you know, repping this.
01:22:55.120
Should I be forced to do those things, especially if they're against my religion?
01:22:59.900
For instance, we have had, we have had alcoholic beverages that have tried to advertise on the
01:23:10.760
If they advertise, I'm an alcoholic and a Mormon.
01:23:13.640
Most of you don't go along very well, but I'm, I'm both of those things.
01:23:18.500
It seems like both of them say, stay away from alcohol.
01:23:22.800
So I'm not going to, but, but I, I'm, I'm a libertarian.
01:23:43.380
My religious belief says, no, it's not good for you.
01:23:50.320
But will I allow alcoholic beverages to be, uh, advertised on my program?
01:23:56.460
So we can, what about a little over a week ago, I drank one on the air and we were trying
01:24:07.840
Should a liquor company be able to come to me and say, we want Glenn back to endorse our
01:24:19.040
Uh, and he, he, he is the one that has to do it.
01:24:26.780
First of all, I would be bad at it because, well, I'm not actually on alcohol.
01:24:31.540
Cause I do have a finer appreciation of alcohol, but, um, I would be bad at it because I don't
01:24:44.640
Go find somebody else who would be better at that.
01:24:50.660
Why would a beer company want you to do a commercial for them?
01:24:56.880
My communist friend, George Lang, that this audience has always loved our photographer
01:25:04.200
So he is, he is diametrically opposed to everything.
01:25:07.900
I said, he speaks glowingly about the Obama years.
01:25:13.780
He, he, the reason why he's my photographer is because he thought for an hour and a half
01:25:18.820
and excruciating hour and a half photo session with him the very first time, all he did was
01:25:23.900
talk about liberal politics because I worked at CNN and just assumed that I was liberal.
01:25:29.800
And so we went for an hour and a half, maybe two hours before we took a break and I just
01:25:35.660
But I, I just sat through it and kept my mouth shut as conservatives always have to do.
01:25:41.320
And finally, during the lunch break, uh, he told me a story about how he was asked to
01:25:48.440
shoot, uh, with a camera, George Bush and he, how he just couldn't do it.
01:25:56.700
And he just, he just, his policies are just so horrible and he's just, he just doesn't
01:26:01.860
like children and he wants to kill everybody, you know, whatever.
01:26:06.700
So called the white house back and said, look, uh, this is my art and I won't see the
01:26:15.020
president the way he should be seen because my, I will only see a man I don't like.
01:26:22.540
And so I'm not going to take flattering pictures.
01:26:28.820
Think about that as a photographer, turning down the opportunity to take pictures of the
01:26:33.140
president of the United States, especially when you have the ability in art to make him
01:26:40.460
And which has happened to you and John McCain with the same photographer, uh, who took photos
01:26:45.500
and then intentionally made them look bad because they didn't like you.
01:26:49.520
So to George have been forced to take a picture.
01:26:57.720
It was after he told me that story sitting there in that very uncomfortable outnumbered
01:27:04.780
room where I finally said to him, George, I have to tell you something.
01:27:12.700
I like George Bush, not everything that he's done, but I like him.
01:27:15.660
Almost everything that you've said, I disagree with for the last hour and a half.
01:27:21.980
But, and I said, but may I shake your hand and tell you how much I admire you because
01:27:29.800
of that last story, you had the integrity to say, I cannot apply my art because I see
01:27:46.520
And that's not even a religious reason when it comes to religious reasons.
01:27:52.200
If what the court on this narrow ruling kind of said was Colorado just dismissed the religious
01:28:11.640
We have to get over this idea that nobody can be discriminated against.
01:28:17.800
It's just not going to be very popular, but you can do it.
01:28:24.640
She paid a price for it, but should she have the right to say it?
01:28:35.180
Well, they're saying, well, they didn't, they just didn't look at the religious reasons.
01:28:41.460
You have to, and it's not just for priests and pastors.
01:28:50.560
But beyond that, even if you don't have religious reasons, I go back to the sign maker, to the
01:28:59.140
photographer like George, to me, to you in your business, whatever it is.
01:29:05.160
Should someone be able to come into your business and say, hey, we've got the, we're opening up a new store here.
01:29:13.680
It's called the, the coffee cup cafe, which is a real place here in Texas.
01:29:20.340
And we just want a big sign, but we want to spell coffee with a K and cup with a K and cafe with a K.
01:29:30.420
And we'd like those three K's there to be all together and big.
01:29:40.220
Do I have the right to say, I ain't making that sign, dude.
01:29:49.480
And it doesn't even have to be because my religion teaches this.
01:29:55.800
It violates me and everything I stand for and everything I believe in.
01:30:08.540
See, the problem is we all want exceptions based on our feelings.
01:30:14.480
Yeah, but this one makes me feel the rights that we have to defend.
01:30:21.080
The only ones that need defense are the ones that all that make us all feel like crap.
01:30:39.220
We have we have some amazing, amazing artifacts that are coming into town and and are are currently being stored in Liberty safes.
01:30:54.300
You don't take something like the the handwritten by Abraham Lincoln, you know, Gettysburg address.
01:31:03.660
And just put it in any old safe that you got off the shelf.
01:31:08.080
You need something that, you know, nothing is going to happen.
01:31:15.080
We take the articles that we have for our museum and we secure them the best way we can.
01:31:22.900
Now, your documents, my documents at home, my guns, your guns, where are you going to put them, put them in the same state in the same safe where we have the writings of Jefferson and Lincoln and Washington, a Liberty safe.
01:31:37.440
And now you can have it installed in your home with 12 months interest free payments for as low as $20 a month on approved credit.
01:31:43.980
You can act now and protect what you value most at Liberty safe dot com, the best built safes on the planet.
01:31:55.500
Then bring the whole family to the rights and responsibilities exhibition presented by the Mercury Museum.
01:32:00.380
Take a glimpse of what the world was like before men had rights and tyrants rule.
01:32:04.280
Join us Father's Day weekend, June 15th through the 17th here at Mercury Studios in Dallas.
01:32:09.120
Get your tickets at mercuryone.org slash museum 2018.
01:32:16.320
Supreme Court ruled today and it was a very narrow decision, wide margin, but very narrow on on how they decided this.
01:32:26.420
So it's going to end up back in the Supreme Court at some point, I think.
01:32:30.780
And it's relatively good for the people at Masterpiece Cake Shop.
01:32:35.480
We're looking at this a broader, like, you know, societal thing, but it's good for them because they get to go back.
01:32:41.940
They might have to do this all over again, though, which is a big problem.
01:32:45.540
But there's two things that we've talked about that are interesting here, and they are in this one paragraph.
01:32:49.760
One, what is the worst case scenario we've talked about?
01:32:52.060
If these things get out of control, maybe a priest or a pastor would have to perform a gay wedding, right?
01:32:56.880
That's like the word, we've always talked about that, like, it could go to, within the walls of the church.
01:33:01.600
So that one, they have a pretty bright line around that here, which says,
01:33:06.200
when it comes to weddings, it can be assured that a member of the clergy who objects to gay marriage on moral and religious grounds
01:33:12.460
could not be compelled to perform the ceremony without denial of his or her right to free exercise of religion.
01:33:18.820
This refusal will be well understood in our constitutional order as an exercise of religion,
01:33:22.640
an exercise that gay persons could recognize and accept without serious diminishment to their own dignity and worth.
01:33:27.680
Now, so that's the, you know, kind of that real invasion.
01:33:32.100
But the rest of this, I think, embraces a very left-wing version of your right to worship as opposed to your right to express your religion.
01:33:41.540
Does religion exist only inside the church walls, right?
01:33:46.580
We obviously would argue, no, you can live that every day of your life.
01:33:49.260
And people like Debbie Wasserman Schultz will say, well, of course, when you're at church, you can talk about whatever you want.
01:33:52.700
No, that's the problem with churches right now, is they exist in their walls and not outside of their walls.
01:33:59.540
So what they say in the ruling is, yeah, you know what, a priest or a pastor shouldn't have to do a gay wedding.
01:34:05.600
Yet, if that exception were not confined, then a long list of persons who provide goods and services for marriages and weddings
01:34:11.800
might refuse to do so for gay persons, thus resulting in a community-wide stigma inconsistent with the history and dynamics of civil rights laws
01:34:19.300
that ensure equal access to good services and public accommodations.
01:34:22.520
My reading of that is that it seems like they would rule against the baker in a certain circumstance.
01:34:27.020
It's not exactly clear if they would with this, but they're leaving that open for sure.
01:34:30.960
All right, we'll have more on the Supreme Court ruling, on the same-sex couple wedding cake controversy coming up in a little while,
01:34:43.220
and a lot on it tonight, full analysis on that tonight.
01:34:46.660
Plus a lot more important things, like the Taco Bell naked chicken chalupa, both wild and mild.
01:34:53.540
Now, I was promised that these would, had been hand-pounded by some Italian grandmother.
01:35:02.680
Yes, Taco Bell hired tens of thousands of Italian grandmothers, Pat, Pat Gray, who joins us,
01:35:06.900
to pound these individual patties and make them authentic.
01:35:13.600
I just don't want to be reminded that it was poured into a mold.
01:35:19.680
Because it shows the, like, bumps where the bone would be, but they're made of meat.
01:35:24.020
Because I'll tell you, the result is delicious, and I don't want to know how you get there.
01:35:30.680
I don't like things, I don't like meat that has been poured into it.
01:35:37.200
Okay, now you said, now, Stu, how did the Italian grandmothers pound these two in exactly the same shape
01:35:51.520
Sounds to me like your chicken comes in, boop, boop, boop, boop.
01:35:54.880
Yeah, look, I mean, it's a fast food restaurant.
01:35:57.660
As Pat and I have noted many times in our very frequent visits to Taco Bell over the years,
01:36:07.060
We don't want to know what it is, just feed it to us.
01:36:15.880
No, I mean, remember when we used to, you know, eat, you know, we'd go to McDonald's
01:36:25.420
You'd use the burger as a bun or you'd use the lettuce as a bun.
01:37:10.600
You did the same thing I did, which is I just assumed wild was hot, but I couldn't actually
01:37:25.900
I think it's wrong to call something wild because, I mean, hot sauce.
01:37:54.140
Because 18 was the only number that Jeff could say.
01:38:28.200
We're like, where are the calories coming from?
01:38:30.080
All they did was dip this in hot oil for a couple minutes.
01:38:39.780
The chicken should not be holding the oil inside.
01:38:46.440
Not necessarily in Taco Bell, but I mean, in normal places, it would go in raw.
01:39:00.500
Again, this is going to abandon my Italian grandmother philosophy, but I think potentially
01:39:04.620
they might come frozen, already made that way, at Taco Bell, and then they throw them
01:39:13.180
Again, none of these arguments make any difference because you like them.
01:39:21.720
It's something in there that just makes you want to continue to eat it.
01:39:25.140
Now, Pat, you were not here for the beginning of this when we discussed how we got here was
01:39:29.660
instead of bringing a McDonald's to North Korea to make peace, if we brought a Taco Bell,
01:39:39.500
That would definitely warm up relations between us and North Korea.
01:39:45.000
Also, if we would bring five guys, it'd be better.
01:39:48.380
Just because, I mean, we'd have a great burger place, but we'd also have five guys there.
01:39:56.720
The more stores they open up, you know, the second one, we have 10 guys.
01:40:05.420
And then we can vote Kim Jong-un out of office.
01:40:08.760
I love the fact that we're paying for his hotel room, too.
01:40:13.420
Apparently, we didn't go to Priceline or Trivago for that.
01:40:16.680
I think it was maybe a little bit cheaper option.
01:40:30.300
But, you know, they can afford a nuclear program, but they can't afford a hotel.
01:40:35.360
You know, that says something, too, that they're willing to say they can't afford it.
01:40:39.980
I don't know that they're saying that publicly, right?
01:40:42.600
I think they're just saying we're doing you a favor of being there, so you're going to
01:40:46.540
And I will say, for the narrative of we've scared them into meeting with us because we're
01:40:59.400
Unless you go to Priceline and find a Super 8 for them.
01:41:08.420
I'm surprised they're not giving him better stuff than the president had.
01:41:14.580
I don't even know where Trump is staying, but he's staying at this...
01:41:17.460
It's a neoclassical hotel on the mouth of the Singapore River.
01:41:23.940
No, I haven't, David, but maybe Buffy has heard of that neoclassical hotel there at the
01:42:02.380
And you know that I couldn't answer that question.
01:42:05.240
How many people could you pose the question to?
01:42:07.520
Do you know of the neoclassical hotel that's right there at the mouth of the...
01:42:16.060
I know approximately one person, and I happen to be sitting in the room with him right now.
01:42:21.680
Because he's the one person that might actually...
01:42:31.180
If I had a jawbone right now with an ass, I'd kill you both.
01:42:54.800
Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.
01:43:02.720
Just saw an FBI report that cited that internet crime with losses over $1.4 billion is now
01:43:16.320
From the 300,000 complaints received by the Internet Crime Complaint Center in 2017, two
01:43:22.680
top crimes reported as non-payment, non-delivery, and personal data breaches.
01:43:27.920
So, in other words, I'm a very rich prince, but you need to send me some money and I'm going
01:43:36.140
to send something back or I'm going to buy something and then they never send it to me.
01:43:42.740
Almost 2,000 complaints were identified as ransomware, which the FBI is now saying is
01:43:48.680
really bad and getting worse because it targets both human and technical weaknesses.
01:43:53.840
So, there are so many threats that are starting to compound now.
01:43:57.260
You don't have time or the capacity to be able to watch over all of this stuff.
01:44:04.160
That's why LifeLock has now entered not just the identity theft protection business, but
01:44:10.660
also securing your software, securing your phone and your computer, everything in your
01:44:20.940
Norton Security now has been added for protection.
01:44:24.040
LifeLock uses proprietary technology to help protect you against identity theft, like your
01:44:29.820
And Norton will help against the online threats, like ransomware, so nobody gets into your stuff.
01:44:36.220
If you have a problem, they have the agents that will work to fix it.
01:44:40.180
I want you to go there now, 1-800-LIFELOCK, 1-800-LIFELOCK, or go to lifelock.com and use
01:44:49.280
Now with Norton and LifeLock relentlessly protecting you, night and day, 1-800-LIFELOCK or
01:44:59.820
Let's go through some audio here in the last few minutes of the broadcast.
01:45:07.940
Apparently, Bill Clinton is no longer getting completely safe interviews from the media anymore.
01:45:15.180
He was on the NBC Today show with Craig Melvin.
01:45:19.000
He's an NBC reporter, and he was asked about some things in his past.
01:45:37.780
One of the things that this Me Too era has done, it's forced a lot of women to speak
01:45:44.420
One of those women, Monica Lewinsky, she wrote in an op-ed that the Me Too movement changed
01:45:55.580
With enough life experience to know better, he was at the time, at the pinnacle of his
01:45:58.940
career, while I was in my first job out of college.
01:46:02.520
Looking back on what happened then, through the lens of Me Too now, do you think differently
01:46:18.540
And nobody believes that I got out of that for free.
01:46:25.840
But you typically have ignored gaping facts in describing this, and I bet you don't even
01:46:41.300
Two-thirds of the American people sided with me.
01:46:46.300
I had a sexual harassment policy when I was governor in the 80s.
01:46:51.640
I had two women chiefs of staff when I was governor.
01:46:54.080
Women were overrepresented in the attorney general's office in the 70s.
01:47:01.620
I've had nothing but women leaders in my office since I left.
01:47:10.880
Mr. President, I'm not trying to present a side.
01:47:17.560
And I asked if you'd ever apologized, and you said you had.
01:47:24.080
I made a blanket apology for all things to all people.
01:47:30.300
By the way, listen how old he's starting to sound.
01:47:34.980
It's interesting, too, because, I mean, Hillary sounds relatively the same as she did from
01:47:39.480
back in the day, which was awful the whole time.
01:47:41.840
But she doesn't seem to have that same process.
01:47:46.000
It's also, it's interesting how, as soon as you're not able to help, you're done.
01:47:58.560
Now, all of a sudden, they're really questioning him.
01:48:03.940
And I don't know, I'm not an expert on such matters, but is it a good defense if someone
01:48:08.800
says, hey, you seem to have harassed a bunch of women to say, I had a bunch of women working
01:48:23.480
There are a lot of people, a lot of women working for him.
01:48:33.540
And it's essentially, his defense is the Mitt Romney binders full of women defense.
01:48:38.460
Now, Mitt was supposed to, it was only saying it not because of abuse accusations, but because
01:48:42.140
they were saying he did, he was, I don't know, anti-woman in some policy sense.
01:48:51.100
They're like, how dare, you had a binders full of women?
01:49:01.740
And also, you're accusing me of abusing a bunch of women.
01:49:11.480
He also had some opinions on whether, what would be happening right now if Trump was a
01:49:16.500
I think they have tried, by and large, to cover this investigation based on the facts.
01:49:23.980
I think if the roles were reversed, now this is me just talking about it based on my experience.
01:49:31.300
If there were a Democrat president and these facts were present, most people I know in Washington
01:49:35.820
believe impeachment hearings would have begun already.
01:49:41.100
And most people I know believe that the press would have been that hard or harder.
01:49:47.320
I do believe that the Republicans probably would have gone for impeachment.
01:49:51.400
Maybe not against Barack Obama, but a less forceful or popular president.
01:50:01.800
This president is beginning to galvanize the right.
01:50:07.340
He has a higher approval rating than anyone in Republican history since World War II, with
01:50:22.940
If it says two things, one, we are becoming more polarized, partisan, right?
01:50:28.200
Like we're more on our teams than we've ever been.
01:50:31.900
But also, I mean, you know, he's pleased the party, right?
01:50:36.120
He's generally speaking, he's pleased the party.
01:50:38.180
I mean, with the exception of the tariff stuff, which has a pretty wide opposition within the
01:50:44.800
party, there's not much he's done outside of the personal stuff that people have spoken
01:50:50.420
And what is the difference between the scandal that we were told to leave it alone, leave
01:50:55.140
alone, can't talk about it, of him spending 20 years with Jeremiah Wright and all of these
01:51:00.400
radical Marxists all the way up until he ran for senator.
