love courage truth glenn back well leave it to the comedians from the daily show to typify the
00:00:20.180
social justice warrior humor michelle wolf the comedian with a voice like a police siren
00:00:26.760
took her comedian and comic routine if you can call it that to the white house correspondence
00:00:32.880
dinner and and i mean this literally it was physically painful to listen to her voice for
00:00:41.460
11 minutes most of wolf's routine was crass and aggressively anti-pc but in a way that progressives
00:00:49.900
are somehow okay with like her bullying remarks about the white house press secretary sarah huckabee
00:00:56.020
sanders who was on stage for the event and took the derision with real grace and poise
00:01:02.900
i actually really like sarah i think she's very resourceful like she burns facts and then she uses
00:01:10.920
that ash to create a perfect smoky eye like maybe she's born with it maybe it's lies it's probably lies
00:01:21.220
and i'm never really sure what to call sarah huckabee sanders you know is it sarah sanders
00:01:30.180
is it sarah huckabee sanders is it cousin huckabee is it anti-huckabee sanders like what's uncle tom
00:01:37.760
but for white women who disappoint other white women oh i know aunt coulter
00:01:43.940
i wonder if she had the hard time figuring out what to call hillary rodham clinton is it hillary
00:01:52.500
clinton is it hillary rodham is it grandma uh clinton which which is it we saw this recently
00:02:00.760
with jimmy kimmel's nasty remarks about melania trump and it comes as no surprise that kimmel and
00:02:06.540
kathy griffin have praised uh michelle wolf's remarks cnn actually called out wolf in uh one
00:02:13.820
article at least quote being funny is one thing bullying people because you can is another and
00:02:20.580
wolf's treatment of sanders was bullying end quote amen largely though places like the new york times
00:02:31.100
and the washington post have written glowing defenses of wolf free speech isn't the issue here
00:02:35.720
who cares what a crude obnoxious comedian with a voice like nails on a chalkboard over a megaphone
00:02:41.320
has to say she can say whatever she wants the issue is that progressives and the mainstream media
00:02:48.060
are so hypocritical about this it makes my eyes bleed where is the pc brigade right now why aren't
00:02:57.140
they or their army of offended snowflakes out in the street with protest signs and macrame hats in the
00:03:03.400
shape of vulvas where are they these are the same people who throw a tantrum or lead a countrywide
00:03:11.540
protest every time trump says anything they disagree with and label him any number of pejoratives
00:03:18.360
so how is it fine for the left to do it i know i know i know i'm i'm asking for sanity in an insane
00:03:27.800
world but can we at least point it out they have led a crusade against offensive comedy they have
00:03:35.940
informed or formed entire international movements premised on women's rights they have railed against
00:03:43.940
bullying and misogyny and offensive language and dozens of other types of triggering phenomena
00:03:51.860
where was the safe space when they see somebody from the left doing it doing literally all of those
00:04:01.460
things at the same time they not only give it a pass they rally around it this is why the president
00:04:09.480
doesn't attend these dinners and he shouldn't no president should left or right
00:04:14.220
his remarks on the dinner were fairly spot on while washington michigan was a big success washington dc
00:04:24.260
didn't work everyone's talking about the fact the white house correspondence dinner was a very big
00:04:29.660
boring bust the so-called comedian bombed it doesn't do any good for us to fall into the same
00:04:38.140
negative feedback loop of outrage i'm not outraged by this i'm not outraged i'm kind of sad actually
00:04:46.100
when something is funny it's funny even if you don't agree with it
00:04:56.980
despite her cringe inducing inducing roast she actually did land a couple of funny lines
00:05:05.960
on both sides of the aisle i mean she's no dave chapelle but she did go after the media
00:05:13.280
listen to this you guys are obsessed with trump did you used to date him because you pretend like
00:05:21.020
you hate him but i think you love him i think what no one in this room wants to admit is that trump
00:05:29.040
has helped all of you he couldn't sell steaks or vodka or water or college or ties or eric
00:05:37.800
but he has helped you he's helped you sell your papers and your books and your tv
00:05:47.000
you helped create this monster and now you're profiting off of him
00:05:51.820
it's monday april 30th this is the glenn beck program who is that person it's insane it's as if
00:06:05.940
they're pulling a prank on us and they've just taken this person who's never been on tv or never
00:06:10.500
done an appearance before and just like like like we're like we're being like punked into feeling
00:06:17.040
old is how i felt like listening to this it's like i know that this person is really you should
00:06:21.720
really know who this is who is it i've i've never in my life heard her name until you until the white
00:06:29.240
house correspondence dinner yeah me neither now look i'm not i'm not saying i get that i'm not on the
00:06:33.620
maybe i'm not but i mean i i know lots of comedians no i mean look the the white house correspondence
00:06:42.520
dinner used to be you know it was back in the day it was done by bob hope and yeah you know milton burrell
00:06:51.020
and uh you know rich little i think did it for a while there were there were the big names of the day
00:06:59.100
you know jimmy fallon should have done it this year but nobody wants to do it is that it was i mean
00:07:05.820
i think especially with the president not there yeah right who wants to do this nobody wants to do
00:07:10.440
this so they're down to the bottom of the barrel i guess i mean you know i don't know like i she was
00:07:16.980
think of this she was she's apparently a writer um for uh the daily show with trevor noah which
00:07:26.140
anyone who knows i mean it's been a complete disaster right like this has been a complete like
00:07:32.520
i'm sure it makes john stewart cry every night the fact that his names even craig kilbourne cries over
00:07:38.740
that i mean like this is going back you know uh it has not worked the trevor noah thing right he's made
00:07:46.240
no impact on that show zero and so the fact that the fact that one of his writers did the appearance and
00:07:53.420
not him right well i guess she's not like so i i don't know she's still a writer there but i guess
00:07:58.660
that's her background and she had one she's had one hbo special which is a huge thing for a comedian
00:08:04.560
clearly so it's not but it was only a couple of months ago uh so i don't know i mean you look back
00:08:10.440
i mean you know you know you have steven colbert they have rich little little there after that craig
00:08:15.320
ferguson wanda sykes jay leno seth myers jimmy kimmel conan o'brien joel mccale again like you
00:08:21.840
kind of these are names you know right i mean jay leno drew carey uh daryl hammond uh aretha franklin
00:08:29.920
well because it used to be up until the 80s um it was more of a variety show okay i mean they used
00:08:38.200
to have you know barbara streisand did it a lot frank sinatra did it a lot there were these you know
00:08:44.020
it was a variety show and then it started to go into more of the roast and the comedy and it became
00:08:50.820
a celebrity thing back in the 80s i did some research on it this weekend we're gonna i'm gonna
00:08:56.000
share the history of the uh white house correspondence dinner uh with the nation tonight
00:09:01.040
at five because you should you should know it you should know it because trump is right should it's
00:09:06.380
just to be over i mean it is over yeah right i mean i think you know they're even apologizing for
00:09:11.380
it now oh my gosh even the white house correspondence uh yeah so we we okay so we we we try to do
00:09:18.560
something uniting did you really did you know was that your best effort if so you're a moron right
00:09:26.560
by the way 1961 the perro brothers uh hosted uh they were jugglers i mean that's a different show
00:09:34.720
no it was a different show in 1961 i don't think women were even allowed really yeah oh wow women
00:09:41.600
weren't allowed i think it was in 63 that kennedy finally said well it couldn't have been 63 uh
00:09:48.340
must have been 62 or i don't know um but he yeah he he finally it was helen thomas who said
00:09:55.260
you need to let women in that thing and so he said i'm not going unless women are allowed okay
00:10:01.180
yeah no i just was not impressive again it's a tough it can be a good moment i mean i i you know
00:10:07.020
you look back at imus when he did it back in the day uh it was uh you know it was a lot of talking
00:10:12.660
it was seen as rude but that's who imus was right like that was his that's yeah i remember saying you
00:10:16.900
know when everybody was like i can't believe don imus said that you you hired don imus you hired
00:10:25.040
imus to do it what did you think he was going to do of course that's what he's going to do that's
00:10:30.420
what he is that's what he does that was his yeah so i i don't know what's happened to it i get i i
00:10:36.160
will say this looking hasan minhaj a couple years ago apparently last year last i don't remember that
00:10:43.980
at all larry wilmore who had a show at the time and does no longer has a show i remember that being
00:10:48.080
really bad yeah uh you know yeah it's been it's been a downhill it's time to turn the thing off i
00:10:54.100
mean as you've mentioned many times and we you know i'm gonna go into this in detail tonight but
00:10:57.960
it's not it's not a good thing it's not something that we should ever celebrate the idea that the
00:11:01.420
media and the president are going to get together and and hobnob and make it all of the all of the
00:11:07.060
people from congress you don't want that no it's bad they should be there's they should be adversarial
00:11:11.840
as much as like we complain about the media coverage of conservatives when they are in power
00:11:17.320
and we it's i think that's totally okay to do it it's only okay because they don't do it on the
00:11:25.060
other side like i don't i want there to be adversarial treatment of of republican presidents
00:11:30.800
i want them to to be adversarial towards conservatives i just also want it towards
00:11:35.340
liberals and democrats yes you know i i want them to be questioning all the time i want them to err on
00:11:39.820
the side of questioning too much you know that is what they're supposed to do it's just that you
00:11:45.340
we just went through eight years of barack obama where you know the toughest question was is he
00:11:51.660
is he really communicating his greatness well enough yeah you know and that was the most
00:11:56.240
enchanting thing of the last year right what that's a legitimate question so it's hard to it's hard to
00:12:03.640
take yeah i think for a lot of people well here's i mean here's something though that that we all need
00:12:09.400
to be consistent on uh and that is if you didn't like what she did then you shouldn't like uh donald trump
00:12:20.500
saying you know rosie o'donnell that big fat slob yeah you know what i mean that's fair i mean
00:12:26.640
we we we kind of lost the moral high ground of saying hey let's you know let's have some decorum
00:12:33.400
here right it's the president and the white house correspondent no no no you can uh-uh you can go
00:12:39.700
either way by the way you can take uh all twitter insults or no twitter insults you can't get just your
00:12:47.060
side doesn't get insulted and the other side is getting insulted correct that's that's kind of a
00:12:51.240
i mean like you know like a good example here people are like oh well sarah huckabee sanders she
00:12:54.820
was insulted about her eye makeup and it's like okay you know and her appearance and like people
00:12:59.740
are really upset about that today i are they really i mean think about just think about what trump said
00:13:05.280
as president about mika brzezinski uh and her facelift right like bleeding all over the carpet
00:13:11.840
it's like okay we can't sit here and act like we're all offended and i'm fine especially in a
00:13:18.380
comedic sense like i don't know that i want it out of my president but like i'm fine with comedians
00:13:23.120
going after people's appearances i whatever if you can't deal with comedy this is what the event is
00:13:28.540
supposed to be and this is the same argument i made you know with don imus back in the day you
00:13:33.300
should be able to go to those uncomfortable places if it's going to be a roast hang on just a
00:13:37.680
second a roast is one thing for instance i did and i don't want to get into it here but do you
00:13:43.380
remember the roast i did in new york yeah okay oh no i i forgot about this moment in my life so i was
00:13:51.920
i was asked to close on a roast of uh of the president of clear channel yes but the president
00:13:59.140
of the company that syndicates this show correct and uh and every every media person was there i mean
00:14:06.820
every media person was there and uh and i closed the show and i leaned over to the company president
00:14:14.760
because they were going soft on him and i said i thought this was a roast and he said yes and i said
00:14:20.600
yeah mine is going to take you apart and he laughed and he said that's why i insisted you close
00:14:30.140
um there is something to be said about a roast when you know the person is is taking your your
00:14:39.680
your littlest flaws and expanding them into something and you still like each other right
00:14:45.460
there's a difference between a roast where the person who's being roasted laughs and a roast where
00:14:52.100
the person who's being roasted wants to walk out and that has something to do with not only the
00:14:58.520
person delivering the jokes but also the person on the other side of it right you can be too offended
00:15:03.620
like you know they go back to the famous the famous one with obama on stage talking about donald trump
00:15:08.640
while he was in the audience this is back in what 2012 2013 and uh and he was going after trump and
00:15:15.400
making jokes about trump and like they weren't funny jokes i mean barack obama was never really good at
00:15:20.000
that but i mean it wasn't anything to get really offended over it was just you know it's that's what the
00:15:25.980
spirit of the event is now they don't like each other obviously but like knocking a guy that you
00:15:30.980
don't like and and you're right taking their little flaws and blowing them up into something that it's
00:15:35.120
not is completely fair game in those things i don't think i don't think you can hit too hard if you've
00:15:40.120
ever watched the comedy central roasts i mean trump sat through one right um and it was really harsh go
00:15:48.280
back and watch that thing now that this guy is president and it's like holy crap the stuff he sat
00:15:54.000
through uh during did he laugh yeah he had a really good spirit throughout the whole thing i think
00:15:58.840
i think there's a difference now between you know it's one thing again you don't invite your enemies
00:16:07.340
to roast you because then they're just making a point you know what i mean yeah they're not telling
00:16:14.720
jokes they're making a point and i think that's what's happened is this has become very very mean
00:16:20.380
spirited to where the people aren't making a joke they're trying to make a point
00:16:25.540
but at least let's be consistent shall we i mean if you liked conway con conway kanye last week
00:16:37.080
uh he's the same guy he just disagrees with you this week all right whether it's a uh ballet recital
00:16:47.520
karate class or scouts my wife always seems to be on the road um she is always running the kids

glenn beck so mike huckabee was uh upset and i i actually feel for mike uh on this um watching your
00:18:48.940
daughter uh pounded into into sand it must have been must have been hard what was she pounded into
00:18:56.160
sand like i i thought it was i don't know it just felt yes i did it just felt it just felt mean it
00:19:04.120
just felt mean sometimes it's not the words um as much as it just it really felt mean now and that's
00:19:13.220
almost everything that's a tough standard for you oh i know i mean people they say that all the time
00:19:17.560
were like no wait a minute that's not what i said at all here's what i said yes i know right i mean
00:19:22.880
that's why i was gonna say everything she said sounded mean it may have just been her delivery
00:19:27.820
but everything she said sounded just mean and vicious again i have literally no idea who this
00:19:33.860
person is this comedian i've never heard of her before this weekend not once however the i didn't
00:19:40.440
watch the thing i've read a few of the stories about it and they keep going back to like i can't believe
00:19:44.240
they went after her appearance and they were very mean to sarah sanders clearly they were mean to her
00:19:48.880
because you know they were talking about her lying right but i mean the joke that everyone says is so
00:19:54.020
bad about her appearance seems to be about lies about about lies she burns up her lies and uses them for
00:20:01.700
the perfect smoky eye now i guess you could take that as a as a criticism of of the quality of her
00:20:08.060
makeup application i guess i've never heard that before but i mean that to me is a joke about her
00:20:14.560
lying whether you agree with it or not is one thing but it's not an appearance it just didn't feel like
00:20:28.060
you know i'm one of those people who are just completely amazed by our military and i think to
00:20:38.520
myself these people are like another species like they're so much better than me i mean i don't know
00:20:43.920
about you maybe you're a great person but i think to myself these guys are the best of the best if it
00:20:48.100
was if our country was defended by dolts like me we'd be screwed um thank god our military is there to
00:20:54.400
protect us but we need to be there for them too there's 72 000 veterans organizations in america
00:20:59.340
and they do a great job but they don't focus on this one part of of the really sad story of fallen
00:21:05.660
veterans which is you know they've got funerals they have to be that have to be paid for and the
00:21:09.660
families get stuck with these bills because the government only offers 300 to help the average
00:21:14.740
funeral costs 20 times that number dog tag furniture.com is the only organization that serves
00:21:20.560
veterans in this area and it's really important you support them dog tag furniture.com they have
00:21:25.960
great art for your house and cool merchandise as well or you can just give them a donation honestly
00:21:33.500
this is the glenn back program the counseling and mental health center the university of texas
00:21:49.660
has now launched a new program to help male students take control over their gender identity
00:21:57.120
and develop a healthy sense of masculinity the university of texas is now going to treat
00:22:04.820
masculinity as a mental health issue treating masculinity as if it were a mental health crisis
00:22:14.160
masculine ut is organized by the school's counseling staff and most recently organized a poster series
00:22:21.900
encouraging students to develop a healthy model of masculinity the program is predicated on a critique
00:22:28.720
of so-called restrictive masculinity men the program argues suffer when they are told to act like a man
00:22:36.680
you might enjoy taking care of people or being active but the university of texas now warns that many of these
00:22:45.660
attributes are actually dangerous being active i agree with that one actually okay i'm willing to sit
00:22:56.820
they say the traditional ideas of masculinity place men into rigid and restrictive boxes which prevent them
00:23:05.500
from developing their emotional maturity if you're a male student at ut reading this right now we hope
00:23:11.420
that learning about this helps you feel not guilty about having participated in these definitions of
00:23:17.160
masculinity and instead feel empowered to break the cycle yes you can be unsuccessful yes you cannot help
00:23:27.100
people program is currently without leadership but i have what it takes to what they're looking for
00:23:34.960
they're paying four thousand dollars a month for somebody to run the program uh here is uh here is one of the
00:23:42.000
posters uh that they have included and it's a picture of a uh of a boy uh standing a man standing and he's
00:23:52.880
they've drawn a cartoon dress on him and the other one shows him daydreaming about lipstick and nail polish
00:24:00.720
some examples of the captions on the posters uh i don't identify as masculine it's imposed on my body
00:24:11.820
one way i embrace my femininity is by wearing makeup and doing my nails even though i'm masculine i can wear
00:24:19.960
makeup and i can feel if i feel like wearing a dress i can do that too it's totally fine
00:24:25.040
something i've fallen in love with about being queer is that you can be vulnerable you don't have
00:24:33.060
to feel invalid in feeling strong or confident or feminine good for you glenn this is the oh that
00:24:39.700
was you're reading from some okay yes i thought you were just submitting something there's a recent
00:24:43.660
trend that going on on twitter called carefully carefree black boy aesthetic where men who are
00:24:50.380
traditionally masculine have flowers in their beard or something i'm glad they're trying to expand what
00:24:56.360
masculinity looks like but i wish it went further than that further than the flowers in the beard i
00:25:02.080
thought that would solve all the problems it certainly did with war you put the flower in the gun and that
00:25:06.360
just solved all the war problems so the website states its goals are to promote healthy models of
00:25:11.960
masculinities to prevent interpersonal relationship and sexual violence on campus at the same time this
00:25:18.660
program was created as a resource and support for students who want to learn more about their
00:25:22.680
masculine gender identities including students traditionally understood as male as well as female
00:25:28.620
wait what transgender gender queer and non-binary students who embody a diversity of masculinities
00:25:37.100
according to the program men suffer when they are told to act like a man or be successful or be a
00:25:44.920
breadwinner it's amazing because this movement theoretically seemed to start with the idea that
00:25:51.240
you know we reject your labels you know you you man woman well we were you know uh you know straight
00:25:58.580
all these things we reject those we reject your labels and now like it seems as if instead of
00:26:05.440
making labels less important they're completely owned by them all they talk about all the time
00:26:13.700
is labels all then here look we've got 25 different new labels that you can call each other and we have
00:26:19.480
to specifically break ourselves down in these tiny tiny labels they talk about uniting they talk about
00:26:25.360
uh all all of these grand concepts that their actions completely fight against it's just the idea that
00:26:33.460
you would focus so much of your energy to try to break down whether you're non-binary or gender
00:26:38.620
queer whatever the you know the the space is between those things is isn't it a complete waste
00:26:44.640
of time like at the end of the day if you figure out okay i'm gender queer and i'm not uh non-binary
00:26:51.460
what does that do for you where does that bring you in your life you know i have to tell you and i'm i'm
00:26:57.400
um anybody any any man who is listening to this right now reject everything you just heard from the
00:27:08.240
uh university of texas reject it there is something empowering about being successful striving for a
00:27:18.780
higher level taking care of others being the person who is the breadwinner who makes things
00:27:26.980
possible because your spouse makes things possible with the family now maybe in your family it's
00:27:35.200
reversed maybe she's the breadwinner and you're the one staying at home making things possible at home
00:27:41.020
it doesn't matter it doesn't matter but there's nothing wrong with feeling that way nothing and if
00:27:49.640
you're a woman and you want to be the breadwinner there's nothing wrong with that either
00:27:52.760
but stop tearing down men let me tell you something this is this is supposedly going to stop uh
00:28:15.360
and what the abuse required in my family was a man was a man stepping to the plate and say no more
00:28:29.720
because the men traditionally in my family were the enablers or the abusers
00:28:52.560
what is the problem with a man standing up and saying this is going to end
00:29:03.240
what is the problem with a man standing up and saying women are not to be treated that way
01:17:30.560
love courage truth glenn beck last week the man known as the golden state
01:17:48.560
killer was finally caught outside of sacramento california
01:17:52.620
now how the investigators tracked him down after so many decades is
01:17:58.160
commendable detective work it really is but it's also a cautionary tale about
01:18:03.060
privacy data that should give every american a pause
01:18:06.180
now i know well i haven't killed anybody so i'm not worried
01:18:09.780
okay i got it i got it but in this case the arrest of the golden state
01:18:14.620
killer would not have been possible without the
01:18:17.500
website gedmatch.com and no it's not a dating site for those who have earned
01:18:24.040
their ged or didn't earn their ged gedmatch.com
01:18:30.000
is a site where people voluntarily submit their own genetic information to try to
01:18:41.000
what could possibly go wrong people just upload their own genetic information
01:18:48.020
and then cross-reference it with others who have loaded theirs
01:18:51.720
in hopes of finding relatives again this is good but we're a little
01:18:57.760
early on the genetic thing you might want to hold your cards a little closer to
01:19:03.940
your vest now back to the murderer investigators you
01:19:08.980
use gedmatch.com to see if any of the site's family trees
01:19:12.900
match the dna samples that they had from decades-old crime scenes
01:19:16.960
the golden state killer wouldn't have had to submit his own dna information
01:19:21.860
for the cops to find him they just had to find a relative
01:19:29.000
then they could match the killer's dna to the family members
01:19:33.540
and narrow it down to potential suspects within the family
01:19:37.140
it took him only four months to do the dna mining and to get the right family
01:19:49.240
he had over a hundred relatives on gedmatch.com
01:20:11.500
gedmatch says investigators didn't approach them
01:20:15.980
but police didn't have to they didn't need a search warrant
01:20:20.940
and gedmatch warns users that their info is out there for everybody to see
01:20:33.300
supposedly protect their user data from outside parties
01:20:45.540
don't you think some dark web creep can't steal your dna information
01:20:50.820
i don't know if you're going to put your dna information out there
01:20:54.320
and how much personal information should the government have access to
01:21:02.760
where the government could have a database containing
01:21:16.620
now it's awesome technology that finally caught up to the killer
01:21:22.520
but what hasn't caught up as usual are the laws
01:21:30.040
do we want the government to have all of our genetic information
01:21:35.520
when the future ai rulers create a human version of jurassic park
01:21:42.040
do you really want a cloned version of me or you running around
01:22:01.220
see this is one of those things that bothers me because
01:22:14.200
i mean because this site seems to be almost like a social media for genetic information
01:22:21.340
napster hey uh go ahead and download my dna anytime you want
01:22:28.920
it's kind of weird it brings up a couple of things in that
01:22:36.960
was basically yeah you know people just didn't understand dna at that point it was brand new
01:22:43.760
people didn't understand what do you mean matching dna it could be wrong could be right
01:22:47.320
no one people did not put enough weight on that at the time
01:22:49.720
which is one of the reasons he was able to get off on the murder
01:22:52.680
where here like it starts to bring that back and that
01:22:56.020
anyone like if you wanted to frame someone it would be so easy
01:23:01.740
to you know be able to for a government or someone to
01:23:09.760
if you you could all they're doing is like we don't understand genetic stuff like they're just
01:23:13.660
telling us it's a match and we assume it's a match right you can you can you can you can
01:23:21.520
you we're close to being able to print a human heart
01:23:25.580
made from cells and dna from you so it won't reject yeah we're that close what do we what
01:23:32.760
that's that's really fascinating i mean think about that
01:23:35.880
you know any good criminal right they're not dumb enough to put their own dna on there
01:23:41.360
but just anyone in your family makes it so they could narrow it down to the family and then they
01:23:46.080
just look around there and like oh this person was here this many times and then they were able to
01:23:49.920
to put it together eventually by actually you know matching his dna uh to the crimes that's an
01:23:56.920
incredible it's incredible police work it's going to make an incredible movie someday probably
01:24:01.740
i mean how do you i mean seriously crime there is there's no future in crime i don't know no it's
01:24:09.000
i don't know if you know that but your future if you're thinking i'm gonna be a criminal there's
01:24:13.400
really no future in that no and that's a great thing it is it's a great thing and we've seen from
01:24:18.080
numerous documentaries such as demolition man where crime is very difficult to commit in the future
01:24:23.820
i would go for minority report minority reports another another good one all that one was just silly
01:24:28.120
i mean you know look there's not people really sitting around in milk predicting crimes there's
01:24:32.380
there's no there's much more civilized ways to do it we don't need the we don't need the milk bath
01:24:37.320
ladies you really don't um another thing i thought was really interesting in this was uh patten oswalt
01:24:42.320
the the comedian yeah remember a couple years ago his wife unexpectedly died out of nowhere and
01:24:47.720
they were really very close and she was a big uh novelist yeah she was a she's big into the true
01:24:53.000
crime sort of arena and she was in the middle when she died of writing a book about this killer
01:24:57.940
and like her life goal was this guy to finally be caught so they wound up finishing the book
01:25:03.920
without her you know used her all of her research and everything found out finishing the book and
01:25:07.840
released it i think earlier this year maybe last year and uh you know i don't necessarily think it
01:25:13.320
was the reason why but it certainly put a lot more attention on that case and now after her death
01:25:18.940
they actually you know supposedly allegedly allegedly allegedly i know can you imagine
01:25:26.140
i mean how old was the guy he was in his 70s i think he still is in his 70s um he was a you thought
01:25:32.900
you got away with it all this whole time all this whole time yeah and i mean it would this guy was
01:25:37.140
really really bad i mean he was hit the stories of what he did to these people i mean this is
01:25:45.840
it's it's it's amazing that we kind of let's let this one slide all these years i mean some cases
01:25:51.420
shouldn't go cold well did he just stop i you know it was a long time it was over a decade he was doing
01:25:58.560
these things so he's eventually i guess i guess stopped i mean maybe you get to i mean i'm curious
01:26:02.720
that i mean you stopped and you're just kind of like yeah that's that's the old me
01:26:08.960
well we all have you know we all i you know what i i i got bored some of us are eating healthy and
01:26:17.820
going to the gym others stop our murder spree mass murder yeah you know what was it that well i i
01:26:23.120
would be interested in knowing that what was it that made you go i think that's probably not good
01:26:29.540
for me or others that's in my past like you know i used to play a lot of video games and i don't
01:26:33.860
really play that many anymore it's not because i stopped liking video games i just don't have the
01:26:37.820
time and i'm you know it's not i grew past it yeah you know it was a phase i was going through
01:26:44.060
is that what happens i don't know i don't know maybe he's just going through his midlife crisis
01:26:49.160
you know some guys get corvettes i killed a bunch of people right well you know you kind of do this
01:26:54.540
with like painting right you kind of go in and out of it it's a hobby you like doing it you kind of
01:26:58.320
go in and out of it you stop in here but yeah to just stop completely yeah i was in it was in my
01:27:03.860
blue period right yeah i could see that uh it was a really horrible spree of crimes though i mean
01:27:12.180
that is it's one of those where you don't kind of don't want to go back and i wouldn't encourage you
01:27:16.400
to go find the article where they they list off all the details and the testimony about it it's
01:27:20.220
really well now you've pretty much guaranteed that i'm going to do that that was like that was
01:27:25.100
good sell you should go to read it at the blaze.com i should have thrown that in i don't know if it's
01:27:29.820
up there but i mean it's super dark i mean like he was uh beyond just wanting to commit these crimes
01:27:35.920
um and he was uh really sadistic about it uh and uh you know aren't you fascinated by what he's like
01:27:42.860
now oh yeah i mean i it's one of those that i mean very interested well what would you say i mean
01:27:48.840
he has to go pay his price but what would you say if he had like some real like you know massive
01:27:54.620
you know redemptive thing i guess it wouldn't be real because he would have to have turned himself
01:28:01.900
in well i mean if well i mean how weird would that be if he was like all of a sudden it was just like
01:28:07.820
your grandfather and he was a normal guy to you i'm sure he probably was to get away with it for this
01:28:13.300
long right i mean the btk killer was like that he was a guy who was like he loved her
01:28:18.820
at his church people thought he was a great guy and you know so you have to have that facade
01:28:23.620
right um if you really had a change of heart i mean that you still go to jail oh you still go you
01:28:29.820
still spend every moment of the rest of your life in prison at the very least however uh that's there's
01:28:36.020
always hope right i mean eternally right like that's the whole point of this you know there is there is
01:28:41.620
hope there and people have done it we've i mean we've talked to people who were terrorists we've had
01:28:47.420
them on the show who were former terrorists and now have changed their life and are fighting for
01:28:52.600
the right things that's part of it though the the redemption you know comes along with talking about
01:28:58.840
it reversing course yeah like admitting your mistakes like barsky the guy that we we know that
01:29:04.460
is a former communist spy was spying on the united states living as a spy in the united states
01:29:11.760
spying on us in on you know in wall street and uh you know was caught by the fbi but changed his life
01:29:20.280
and now is big time pro-american and you know you i mean okay yeah you could certainly i mean uh i don't
01:29:27.780
know if you you know if you're a sadistic serial killer i don't know if i'm ever like well okay
01:29:32.500
yeah so you know you're not going on care.com and hiring him as a babysitter i'm just saying
01:29:36.760
i'm just saying that you know i think it would be interesting to learn from someone
01:29:42.580
who went through that what's the show have you oh i love that show mindhunter yeah oh my gosh that's
01:29:48.120
have you seen it i haven't seen it oh you have to watch it it is really good it's on netflix right
01:29:53.220
it's on netflix and it is it's based on the fbi the the original two guys or three guys that said
01:30:00.400
wait we shouldn't just kill these serial killers something's changed here you know we had bonnie
01:30:07.200
and clyde you know we had you know we had people like al capone and we kind of understood where they
01:30:14.760
were coming from these serial killers we don't we don't have any idea why they're killing or how they
01:30:22.000
think and and i remember this growing up the big debate was oh you're just trying to say let's
01:30:28.580
understand them we don't need to understand them kill them uh and they were saying that these these
01:30:35.100
three they were saying no no no we agree with you they have no place in society but if we're going to
01:30:40.920
find new serial killers we have to understand these guys and uh profiling profiles and it's it is
01:30:50.880
hair raising these guys go in they don't know what they're dealing with at all it's it's set back in
01:30:56.140
the 1960s or 70s and they have absolutely no idea what they're dealing with is it based on yeah based
01:31:01.680
on the true story yeah and it's really good i mean what is it's one of the best cliffhangers of a
01:31:08.140
first season i've ever seen you're like i i have i have no idea of course i felt that way this weekend
01:31:14.100
i saw avengers no idea how they're going to change no idea how they're going to do part two of this
01:31:20.160
next year no idea i don't want to i don't want to say anything and spoil it but it's two hours
01:31:26.760
and 55 minutes which is about 243 too long let's be honest about it they're all gonna shoot things
01:31:33.600
at each other you don't like you don't like you don't like this i think marvel is i think marvel
01:31:38.960
is great not a big superhero movie guy admittedly i am it's getting a little complex i'm you know all
01:31:44.940
the way through i'm like okay wait a minute what happened with that guy last time how come
01:31:48.280
wait a minute weren't they friends before and it's like dad you you missed you know you missed
01:31:52.920
this episode and this episode and this episode no i saw them all with you i just don't remember them
01:31:57.840
yeah and so you're you're having to remember too many things um but it was i thought it was really
01:32:03.800
really good but it is one of those endings that you're like wait what wait what just happened
01:32:10.520
yeah i don't i was watching the preview of it and it looked uh someone don't like these i don't
01:32:17.120
like these movies generally but i mean uh this one just seemed like they just threw all the like
01:32:21.640
it was like it's like if my my son went into his toy basket and picked up all of his you know action
01:32:28.000
figures and threw them at me is what i felt like watching the preview you know you know what that
01:32:32.660
is that's dc comics that's when they did superman batman and wonder woman they put all of them
01:32:38.320
together and you were like okay stop it what's the what's the difference here i feel like i saw like
01:32:43.220
they have good storylines and they all come together and it all works i mean they marvel has
01:32:49.100
taken the time to actually think these things through where dc all of their movies are just like
01:32:55.100
we're greedy we want to make money here how about we put these guys together where where marvel is at
01:33:02.980
least thought out and thought through and and i i think well done i'll take your word for that i think
01:33:09.280
you're not gonna i'm not gonna go see it no no no two hours and 55 minutes for you would be
01:33:14.020
that's incomprehensible it was a little shocking but it did go by you know some movies are like
01:33:20.500
two hours and 55 minutes yeah what i did i don't know i know i've got like lots of other things to do
01:33:28.520
this one went by really fast it went by really fast i thought it was really good i liked it but you
01:33:34.860
know you know the savior is gonna be and this is i'm not spoiling anything is captain america but
01:33:41.020
captain america is a woman shut up shut up captain america is always a man always has been a man
01:33:53.600
women can be superheroes too i know i know but captain america was a guy
01:34:02.440
oh what so women can't be captains is that what you're saying shut up are you just saying that
01:34:09.960
women are representative of america here's what i'm saying shut up okay that's a good answer all
01:34:16.420
right all right i think i'd rather spend two hours and 55 minutes with the golden state killer
01:34:21.240
than i would actually go to see that movie has he turned over a new leaf i don't know if he has i
01:34:28.440
might go with you on that one if he hasn't uh uh all right if there's a vulnerability a cyber crook
01:34:34.600
can find it recently hackers uh accessed a smart thermometer at a casino and hacked into their
01:34:41.460
database of high rollers think of that they got in through the the the temperature the thermostat
01:34:49.440
they hacked into the thermostat and then from the thermostat could log on into their information
01:34:58.220
database it's almost like police hacking into a going to a public data site and finding a murderer
01:35:04.000
like i mean you the one weak link in your security and you were screwed screwed information can be
01:35:09.960
stolen and it has uh you know private details of this case of the casino's biggest spenders it's just
01:35:16.480
another example of hackers breaking into the internet of things soon your dishwasher is going to be
01:35:22.360
part of the internet of things your refrigerator internet of things it's connected everything is
01:35:29.800
connected so now how are you going to protect your standing guard really are you going to stand
01:35:33.920
guard over your over your dishwasher i'm going to make sure nobody hacks into my dishwasher
01:35:39.240
you're never going to think about it at one week link is where criminals get in i'm in a casino

oh boy i have to admit i was wrong you lead with your mistakes i lead with my mistakes
01:36:54.740
captain marvel was a woman from the beginning 1968 it's ms marvel that i was thinking of she was
01:37:01.960
kidnapped by you know the character marcus i assume we're not giving away and parts of this
01:37:06.520
no no no and and taken to the alternate dimension where she was brainwashed seduced and impregnated
01:37:11.540
um she later gave uh birth to it anyway that's that's ms marvel marvel um and not captain marvel
01:37:19.820
i a woman from the beginning yeah you said captain america which is your mistake earlier i was gonna say
01:37:28.520
captain america is pretty clearly a dude yeah i mean they've been no but he's yeah but no this is
01:37:34.540
another character this is too good let's be honest about this sucks this is all no it all sucks no no
01:37:40.400
captain marvel i have to tell you i don't i i you know i i never read the comic book so maybe it's
01:37:46.160
you know i'm sure all the comic book people are like oh captain marvel she was the best she was the
01:37:51.280
sexiest whatever named after the comic book company it's that there's no creativity left
01:38:15.960
welcome to the program pat gray is uh joining us and you have a uh you have a story i cannot make
01:38:27.420
heads or tails of yeah it's confusing um we we heard that troy walker from dog take furniture
01:38:33.960
we've talked about him a few times this is the guy who makes those beautiful american flags
01:38:37.780
and all the proceeds go to uh help pay the cost of the funerals for veterans whether they've committed
01:38:45.140
suicide or otherwise because the va only sends them up to three hundred dollars right um like we
01:38:51.340
have a story of a woman here who was killed by her boyfriend in a murder suicide and she was sent
01:38:57.140
seventy one dollars and sixty seven cents for burial and so they just left her there except troy claimed
01:39:04.260
her body and and is uh trying to hold a decent funeral for which is coming up on on friday we'll have some
01:39:09.160
details about that but so if somebody called us or uh tweeted us that troy was in some trouble and so
01:39:17.240
we sent him an email and said is everything okay and he wrote back no we're not okay we in fact have
01:39:24.000
been shut down temporarily by the city last year when i was doing everything in my driveway the city
01:39:28.740
tried to shut me down a reporter came to our rescue and reported uh on the following and then he's got a
01:39:34.620
link there of the report they did since that aired i have constantly been slandered and falsely accused
01:39:40.760
for things uh i have not done and have multiple witnesses for alibi we left everything alone tried
01:39:48.140
to turn the other cheek the city treasurer has driven past our house several times taking pictures of
01:39:53.700
our house and her excuses to ensure we're in compliance with city ordinances what is her deal i don't
01:40:01.080
know uh i maybe the neighbors have complained about sawdust because he was making this stuff in his
01:40:07.940
driveway last year but he's moved his operations outside the city limits i think now he's he's outside
01:40:14.300
of the city limits and he's at a he's on a farm right yeah so she's that's where he's making all
01:40:18.940
the stuff she's driving by by his i think in town residence and and taking pictures of what's going on
01:40:26.100
there then uh they said they came into his home and they wanted to turn over their business computer
01:40:37.640
and he says we refuse because our attorney told us they can access our donor list and make their
01:40:44.180
information public also i had a duty under law not to make their personal information public um because
01:40:52.320
this is so ridiculous i thought i was making a big deal out of nothing maybe i was being short
01:40:56.860
tempered going insane or just being paranoid after all i did nothing wrong well yesterday everything
01:41:02.120
changed i received a phone call from a detective they had a search warrant to gather all our electronics
01:41:07.520
on the property they took uh all our phones and even the chargers my aunt and cousin are visiting us
01:41:17.180
and they took their ipad they took my son's phone and tablet they took our business computer and phone
01:41:23.480
they tore apart our house left it in disarray and again we just thought there has to be some kind of
01:41:29.380
misunderstanding here we were told it will take about four to six months to get everything back
01:41:34.800
that i mean that's nuts it's nuts this guy makes furniture for veterans who have died
01:41:41.320
and just uses the proceeds to pay for their funerals and this is the way he's being being treated by this
01:41:49.780
city so why what city is it i i have i have an email that uh troy says was sent to him from the city
01:42:00.480
treasurer uh i'm not going to give the name or the treasurer's name because i i i want to make sure
01:42:07.860
i want to make sure it's her but listen to this troy you need to leave town before i really get
01:42:13.140
pissed i'm going to make sure you suffer my scorn from now on if you so much as have one piece of
01:42:18.520
sawdust on your driveway or one of your flags i'll declare it a nuisance you may think your stunt of
01:42:23.620
going on glenn beck spelled wrong i'm just saying yeah and trying to discredit me would have worked
01:42:28.720
you've got another thing coming i want you and the rest of your pathetic brothers and sisters to kill
01:42:33.460
yourself uh do us all a favor and kill yourself before you end up shooting the neighborhood
01:42:37.720
with your ptsd remember it's your word against mine uh treasurer that cannot be can't be real can
01:42:45.520
it i mean well he says that he has gone he's taken it to the city and he's asked him did somebody
01:42:51.140
several times right yeah did somebody on your staff write this and he can get no answer they've given
01:42:57.220
him no answer one way or the other just confirm or deny that this is from your city treasurer
01:43:02.440
but they won't all right so let's give this information to leon at the blaze okay let him
01:43:08.420
assign a reporter to this and get an answer yeah what the hell is going on because if that's real
01:43:15.500
i've never seen anything like it from a city official that's that's about as bad as it gets
01:43:20.800
telling a vet that he should kill himself like so many other vets have done wow that just sounds like uh
01:43:28.720
twitter trolls so you're gonna you're gonna find out kind of the the details behind this today
01:43:33.400
on the show you get them on you're gonna have we're gonna have uh troy on in the third hour
01:43:37.340
yeah top of third hour because that there's there's the bottom there's gotta be something else to this
01:43:41.600
story some long that's what i keep saying or something i know yeah can i tell you that's gotta
01:43:46.060
be more than sawdust in a driveway right so geez that is the problem apparently over in england
01:43:53.600
with uh alfie evans and uh charlie gard is people just keep thinking to themselves no and there's
01:44:02.620
got to be something here i'm missing right right that's a normal human instinct and many times by
01:44:07.720
the way many times very much true i mean it's a good it's a good question to ask yourself when you
01:44:12.180
when you hear a story that seems too amazing to be true but in either of those cases but yeah there
01:44:17.580
wasn't charlie gard or alfie there was nothing else right the the hospital just would not let them be
01:44:23.020
released they had to die i don't understand that you know the state-sponsored murder uh seems like
01:44:30.920
a bad thing to me and again there doesn't seem to be any coherent argument against it i asked this
01:44:35.500
uh earlier if you've read a good piece that explains the case in favor of the uk and what they've done
01:44:42.160
here you know send it to me because i can't find one have you have you heard i can't find one and
01:44:47.000
people keep sending me like the court documents which make a legal case for their ability to do it but
01:44:51.700
that's not what i'm asking for i'm asking for like could they theoretically do it in this in the
01:44:56.000
country in which you know they're ruled by those laws right like i'm i'm disagreeing with the laws
01:45:00.700
so you know i want to know the reason for the laws i want to know a reason why is it the hospital
01:45:07.300
doesn't just say we can't treat him yes we have the legal right to hold him here but we're not going
01:45:15.000
to because there's another hospital that nobody in england is paying for go there and good luck
01:45:20.560
their argument seems to always be well that wouldn't be good for alfie but it's like that
01:45:24.660
doesn't make any sense you're dying good for alfie come on saying it's guaranteed death by staying
01:45:30.800
yeah that's unbelievable and not only that guaranteed death now by starvation right because
01:45:36.680
they're like oh they want to they want to help uh ease his pain well easing his pain is an argument
01:45:40.460
for euthanasia right if they were saying we are going to give him a bunch of medication and kill
01:45:44.760
him right now at least it would be a terrible argument just you know still is horrific but at least it
01:45:49.200
would be an argument this is just like i was going to let him expire over a few days and not let him
01:45:52.800
get any treatment it makes no sense it doesn't because even if it was the cost like if there
01:45:59.880
was no one willing to pay for it you could at least make this argument there's there's there are ways
01:46:03.700
case they've had people they've always had them they've been lined up with people ready to take
01:46:07.880
them to italy yeah and the pope has intervened and still they don't care the problem is with people
01:46:15.100
like troy is he's such a regular guy and he you'll sound crazy yeah you know what i mean the reporters
01:46:24.020
would listen in the town you know the town has credibility so the town clerk is like no you don't
01:46:29.160
understand this guy is just whatever okay all right well i'll talk to him and then you get a guy like
01:46:35.080
troy who's like look i i don't know i don't know what's happening and all of a sudden he sounds
01:46:41.060
paranoid and everything else and and and he has mentioned and wouldn't you he he knows that it
01:46:47.940
could sound that way he doesn't want to sound insane he that's why he kept dismissing it and
01:46:52.820
then it's gotten to this point where they came and took all of his electronics why why would you do that
01:46:58.340
to a guy who is who is making american flags to help pay for veterans funerals why would you do that
01:47:06.680
i can tell you usually people self-diagnose now maybe there's something i doubt it but maybe there's
01:47:15.920
something that you know was going on but if the city just said you know what he's making this furniture
01:47:23.020
and he's just he's just pocketing all the money he's not really doing all that that's because they
01:47:28.960
don't know anybody who would right you know what i mean the people that they know would would lie
01:47:35.080
about something like that and pocket all the money yeah and so now they're trying to prove their
01:47:40.920
theory yeah apparently yeah so get to the bottom of this send it to the blaze send it to leon so leon
01:47:47.600
can assign in a reporter to that and let's find out because one way or another it needs to be
01:47:53.680
yeah on the radar taken care of and we'll talk to him uh troy coming up at hour three thanks pat
01:47:59.080
so you know what uh tanya got lot last year for mother's day
01:48:11.720
more extra time with you and there's no better present than that

01:51:10.200
you know we just crossed a uh another red line in the media and it's not the white house press corps we
01:51:32.520
we know what that is but on the other side uh with uh red state red state and uh and salem
01:51:41.280
uh just made a uh i i think an a shocking move to fire all of the reporters that weren't pro donald
01:51:50.980
trump enough in in and it's it doesn't seem like it's a hundred percent of the reporters who were
01:51:56.940
skeptical of trump but all the people they fired were skeptical of trump there's still a few i guess
01:52:01.380
there and you know a lot of good writers and you could say that you know you could say we're
01:52:05.220
downsizing we're changing whatever but one of them that they fired was responsible for a third of all
01:52:11.980
traffic last month media is reporting that one of the one of the reporters they fired was one third of
01:52:17.060
all of their readership that why would you why would you do that but but you know skeptical of trump
01:52:22.600
and it does seem that like that's their the writers who have been let go many of them have cited that
01:52:27.720
as the as the reason they were let go uh you know i don't think that's something that red state is
01:52:33.380
admitting um but uh that that is at this time what a lot of the writers believe um well i hope that's
01:52:41.340
not true yeah i hope i hope not too because i mean look whether you like trump or not you know i think
01:52:46.340
hearing smart well-reasoned uh critiques of him from the conservative perspective is needed it's just
01:52:53.500
like it was needed during bush like they need it's important yeah you gotta it's important you gotta
01:52:58.080
have it i don't i mean i you know i enjoy reading critiques of you know other politicians that i
01:53:04.360
really like because you know sometimes they turn out to be true i mean later on there's been several
01:53:09.720
cases where people warned us about a particular politician uh and wound up uh wound up being accurate
01:53:16.680
in the end so you know i can't think of who you might be i can think of many yeah i'm not even
01:53:23.380
thinking about a specific one but i i am thinking of one one or two specific ones but i mean there's
01:53:27.560
multiple this administration not from this no this is years ago but i mean many many examples of that
01:53:32.140
of course right i mean yes and that's that's the whole point of having a conservative media it's not
01:53:36.660
so you can come up with arguments to generally hit the left on raising taxes though that's important
01:53:41.580
like you need to make sure that the facts get out there uh but you know the the dissecting a a topic
01:53:48.400
from multiple perspectives within conservatism is really important that libertarian to maybe
01:53:53.380
establishment sort of uh range i want to hear from all those voices like i there are certain people that
01:53:59.340
i follow and read that are super pro trump and i read them because i want to make sure i understand
01:54:04.040
where they're coming from where uh you know what what's their argument what's their reasoning
01:54:08.520
is it something and there are people who are super uh libertarian yeah that don't like anything
01:54:15.380
at all i mean almost anarchists that i also want to read yeah i mean that's how you get better you
01:54:20.940
don't get better by someone telling you this thing you want to hear over and over and over again you
01:54:24.800
don't get smarter you don't you know you're not you're never gonna you're not gonna improve your
01:54:29.060
ability to argue points to the left by just hearing the same talking points by the same people over and
01:54:35.020
over you know what it is it's a helicopter parent it's just helicopter media you're your guy your
01:54:40.980
point of view because it'll make you feel bad uh we're never going to say anything bad about it
01:54:45.940
well we all know that's that's part of our problem our problem is with schools and the
01:54:50.840
helicopter parents and the schools that won't give your kids bad grades even though they did poorly
01:54:56.200
they they'll just say whatever needs to be said to make everybody happy because everybody needs
01:55:00.960
to be happy no we need the truth we need the truth these guys weren't telling the truth or if
01:55:08.160
you had to just make a business decision that's one thing you're doing it because you're not
01:55:12.400
partisan enough that's trouble glenn back mercury
