You know, we have lost our journalistic integrity
00:05:03.500
Well, he didn't ask permission to say bad things
00:05:12.440
You're supposed to be able to take this criticism
00:05:50.180
This is all funded by the United States government
00:05:58.600
Yeah, I don't really want to even talk to those people
00:45:51.060
While CNN is trying to figure out now why consumers
00:46:01.780
They don't have anything left i don't know maybe that's it
00:46:04.900
We'll talk about that and the dark stuff the dark side of living in today's society
00:46:13.940
That we we we actually have kind of stumbled onto something that we
00:46:22.020
But not really i mean yeah we're ashamed of it you're ashamed of it oh absolutely absolutely ashamed of it but
00:46:32.340
We'll tell you about it coming up in just a second first make no mistake we are fighting a spiritual battle
00:46:37.540
As we protect the most innocent among us babies and their moms
00:46:42.580
Preborn stands on the front line of this battle and their network of clinics are positioned in the highest abortion areas
00:46:51.300
They're they it's unspeakable evil that takes place every single day preborns offers god's love and life to protect hurting women
00:47:00.500
And precious preborn babies everything that enters your mind when you hear the words planned parenthood preborn is the opposite of that
00:47:08.500
They have a 100 charity rating so you can give with confidence
00:47:15.620
They come in they take care of the mom make sure that she knows that she's not alone
00:47:20.340
Um, that she's going to be cared for two years after the birth
00:47:25.140
Uh, and they start with giving her a free ultrasound so mom can see the baby on an ultrasound
00:47:31.860
And know that it's not a clump of cells or a tumor
00:47:35.860
It is a it's a baby it's life inside of her preborn.com slash back dial pound 250 say the keyword

00:47:53.860
For uh, preborn so give now pound 250 preborn.com slash beck that's preborn.com slash beck
00:48:04.660
All right, so we were talking about the palestinians that are well, let's let's show them again here's
00:48:14.020
Hassling people who are getting out of their car and they're like i'm just trying to get home
00:48:20.980
Okay, so surrounding a guy in a way that is borderline illegal. I mean you're not you have to let people pass
00:48:27.620
Right, like I mean certainly the blocking of the road is illegal, but
00:48:33.620
Is it illegal is anybody where then where are the police?
00:48:37.060
Where the if it's illegal where are the police they should have them stationed
00:48:42.820
At the bridge there should be bridge police, right?
00:48:45.140
Like when you know, these things are going on you get police there and remove these people immediately immediately and you push oh
00:48:49.540
What a surprise. That's what's happening in florida and you what I heard the word push
00:48:54.580
You know again, it was another sentence. It was an edited sentence. Okay, you heard the editing in real time
00:48:59.300
I'm just thinking of your the location right of where you are is at a top of a bridge and that's okay
00:49:05.620
I had a thought and I stopped giving the thought here are these protesters in chicago
00:49:14.260
And oh, they got the drums too. So it's even better even more annoying. Yeah
00:49:18.820
And people are just getting out of their cars and they are just walking in the median dragging their suitcases behind them
00:49:25.700
I for I hate them all i'd want to do is to support israel
00:49:31.140
Yeah, like the rest of my days would be spent giving money to just the idf directly
00:49:36.500
You know what there should be that they should do that
00:49:39.060
They should have idf soldiers just right with the venmo scans just standing there want to give to us
00:49:53.540
Stu revealed something that I that I had never heard before that happened on the train
00:50:06.260
He would take a train, uh to go do the show there
00:50:11.380
Now we work there for five six years something like that. Yeah, and uh
00:50:18.180
Which is when you hear the story not kind of interesting that I never heard it because it it I mean it wasn't a story
00:50:26.020
Often, you know, I would say every between four to six months
00:50:29.940
You'd be on the train commute and you're going, you know
00:50:33.060
80 miles an hour or 70 miles an hour down the the train, you know
00:50:38.980
With all sorts of weird smells of cultures. You don't recognize all around you. Oh, man
00:50:49.140
All of a sudden the train would stop and you just roll your oh, no what's going on now?
00:50:52.740
And you don't know what it is. It could be a stupid delay in the tracks. There could be traffic. There could be a technical issue
00:50:59.060
Uh, and some of them mean you stop for two minutes and they keep moving some of them mean it could be hours
00:51:03.780
And then you get the the the news filters its way down the train car to train car and you find out that no this time
00:51:13.460
It's one of those times where someone has decided they want to kill themselves and have jumped out in front of the train
00:51:20.020
Have killed themselves now the train is stopped
00:51:22.740
We cannot move because the police have to come and investigate this person who's killed themselves
00:51:31.060
I just want to point out this is different anybody wants to know what it's like living in new york city right there
00:51:40.020
He never once came in to work and said oh, geez man
00:51:45.540
Gosh the worst thing worse thing happened somebody killed themselves now
00:51:48.820
He would be late and he would just say trains. Yeah, that's all he would say trains
00:51:58.020
Somebody jumped in front of our train and killed themselves
00:52:01.060
You wonder why some of the people in the media are dead inside. This is part of it. It really is like just living in that city
00:52:06.820
It makes you have all sorts of calculations of like yeah. Hey, hey
00:52:10.500
This person who was obviously mentally ill and probably is going to go murder someone
00:52:19.220
Rats crawled on over over my leg on the way in like you have all these weird things
00:52:25.940
Uh, and you justify as normal living in this place
00:52:29.620
And that was one of the things and by the way the reaction was never like a solemn. Oh my gosh
00:52:34.740
What would that what was that person going through?
00:52:37.140
And I started thinking about that in the the concept of the uh, the uh
00:52:40.340
conversation about the palestinian protesters because
00:52:42.980
The conversation of the people in the cars is not gosh, maybe pal the palestinians have a point here
00:52:51.700
These people are the worst people on earth. I hate their cause. I hate everything about them
00:52:56.900
And when we were on the train that was the same thing like all right
00:53:03.140
Like let's just keep going and we'll tell the police where it was they can come look at it
00:53:08.260
Is this a new thing or when when people were crossing the mountains?
00:53:12.660
You know with the wagon trains and poor old jebediah, you know drop dead halfway through sure
00:53:19.860
Were there people the people in the wagon train where they're like, it's it's jebediah it's gonna die anyway
00:53:26.340
Let's keep going and everybody was like no, we've got to stop and and pray and bury him properly
00:53:32.740
Were there the were there people that were like come on?
00:53:37.220
Oh, they're like, you know, I mean look jebediah's six-year-old daughter died a few miles back and he was fine leaving her behind
00:53:44.100
We got to leave it would be what jebediah wanted for us to keep rolling through the mountains
00:53:48.580
He wanted us to get to the other side quickly before the snow came
00:53:53.300
I think this is a rather modern thing. Maybe it's not it's cold and it's you know, it the it is a
00:54:04.100
It's somewhat cold, but it's also somewhat understandable
00:54:07.460
I will say in the moment like because you look you're living your life and like it felt you know what it felt like
00:54:12.400
I'll be honest with you on the train. It felt selfish
00:54:14.980
It was like you you could have jumped off a bridge and no one way and it would have been the same
00:54:20.940
It would have been sad for the family the same way would have been sad for you the same way
00:54:24.900
But it wouldn't have stopped us from getting home to see our families and that is how
00:54:29.500
I know it sounds really cold and dark, but that's how every person on the train thought about it
00:54:34.060
So now I have a worse story than you that I've never told you
00:54:37.280
Okay, and this happened probably 20 years ago and there's been a lot of shame on this story. Really?
00:54:47.280
Well, not so bad, but I felt bad enough to not share the story. Okay. Okay
00:54:53.200
Um, because I was I mean, I think I was just surrounded by monsters. It wasn't me
00:54:59.620
It was the other monsters the other people there sure sure
00:55:03.700
So my wife and I we were in brussels or some godforsaken place over in europe and um
00:55:09.980
We're over there and we didn't have the best of times and uh, we were flying back
00:55:20.480
And i'm like and we're we're landing in new york city
00:55:25.560
So that doesn't make you know, it's not like hey, you got a prize at the end
00:55:29.320
Uh, and it's direct from brussels to direct from brussels to new york
00:55:34.520
So, you know, there's probably all those frenchy french politicians europeans on board
00:55:45.060
And uh, I just keep seeing you know, you they show you the little airplane and you're like, oh look
00:55:54.020
And I so i'm calculating in my head by the time we get out of traffic and we get
00:55:58.860
It's gonna it's gonna it's gonna be like 4 a.m. by the time we get home and I got to be at work
00:56:18.440
Is there a pilot on board? It's better than that one
00:56:21.100
Yes, it is. Yeah, yes, it is. Okay. So, uh, is there a doctor on board? Uh, okay
00:56:27.680
So everybody starts looking around and I see this guy
00:56:33.460
And uh, the stewardesses are all around him and he's clearly dead
00:56:42.440
I think he had a heart attack, you know, and just kind of like, you know went down
00:56:46.900
And uh, wow yeah, and so a doctor comes and he's doing the chest compressions and everything
00:56:55.600
They ask everybody in the row to move all the people in the row are all standing there
00:57:02.000
Okay, and I understand, you know, you're trying you got to lay him down flat and you're gonna try to
00:57:27.180
But they ask everybody else in that row to move
00:57:30.080
And I start feeling bad for the people in the rest of the
00:57:36.560
I'm like, wow, they paid a lot of money for that
00:57:38.780
And they're gonna go back, sit in the last row with the bathrooms
00:57:55.020
But it looks like we'll be heading back to London to land
00:58:03.760
You have a choice of, well, he's dead and we should get him to a morgue or whatever
00:59:08.560
And we're getting further and further away from London
00:59:28.200
We have decided that we are indeed going to land in New York
01:50:04.080
In fact probably the best college basketball player of all time
01:50:15.020
In fact one unnamed general manager in the league
01:50:17.580
Said they would trade their entire team for just her
01:50:41.480
Higher ratings than Major League Baseball games
01:50:44.000
Higher ratings than most of college football games
01:50:56.660
Because those bastards at the NBA won't let her play
01:51:02.140
But I don't think she'd enjoy that experience all that much
01:51:18.780
Do you know what her salary is going to be in the WNBA?
01:51:31.520
And work for the witness protection program of sports
01:51:41.020
She's pretty much in the witness protection program
01:52:15.740
So it could be a male or a female singing that song
01:52:19.440
Now you know who else doesn't know who the Indiana Fever are?
01:52:30.480
She's gonna be making I think $75,000 a year or something
01:52:58.100
And you know she should block a highway outside of O'Hare Airport
01:54:07.540
They also were not making millions of dollars a year
01:54:13.660
Then it turned into a multi-million dollar factory
