00:01:23.200
last week vladimir putin abruptly canceled an appearance in russia to attend an emergency
00:01:31.400
meeting with his defense minister now this usually would not get an awful lot of attention
00:01:37.300
but it also coincided with a flurry of other reporting vice president pence recalled back to
00:01:43.300
the white house at the same time meanwhile in the middle east f-22 raptors uh arrived in the gulf
00:01:50.680
same time and adding to the building hysteria several blue check marks on twitter started
00:01:57.560
reporting that the eu security council had like the russians called an emergency meeting what was this
00:02:05.580
all about all we know is something happened that uh would cause a catastrophe of a planetary scale
00:02:15.340
well that was what was reported let me tell you what really happened in one minute this is the glenbeck
00:02:25.140
uh so i don't know if you've been following what's been going on with uh with google and facebook and
00:02:35.060
everything else just in the last couple of days but things are heating up uh and they are not responding
00:02:40.740
uh to cries of hey can you can you not spy on me can you keep my stuff private they are silencing
00:02:49.700
voices they're changing algorithms uh i think they are going to mess with the uh 2020 election we already
00:02:57.060
know this from a researcher at harvard but this researcher at harvard he's so conservative he voted
00:03:03.500
for hillary clinton okay he's the guy who is doing the research on this and he is ringing the bell saying
00:03:10.500
i'm telling you we are about to enter the matrix if we don't get a handle on this soon you're not going
00:03:18.560
to know where you end your thoughts end and amazon google facebook's thoughts begin you're not going
00:03:28.480
to you're just not going to be able to tell did i really want that or was i kind of sold that and the
00:03:35.860
reason why this is going to happen is because you are being shaped and they are open about it they are
00:03:43.080
shaping opinions and they're shaping opinions many times just to make a sale for somebody who is
00:03:49.620
trying to sell something to you you need to stop giving your information out you need a secure vpn and

00:04:43.940
so let me tell you now last week vladimir putin abruptly canceled an appearance in russia
00:05:01.380
to attend an emergency meeting with his defense minister now they said at the same time vice
00:05:09.260
president pence was recalled back to the white house and the f-22 raptors arrived to the gulf at
00:05:16.580
the same time and then the eu security council like the russians called an emergency meeting
00:05:23.060
okay so let me just give you some let me give you a fact check just on that no pence was recalled to
00:05:31.580
the white house for an undisclosed non-national security related issue the f-22s had been ordered
00:05:38.320
to the middle east a long time ago and the surprise eu security council meeting well some of the some of
00:05:46.740
the blue check marks on twitter should probably do a little homework because the eu doesn't have
00:05:53.120
a security council so there couldn't be an emergency meeting now there is something that did happen
00:06:00.800
the the real thing that was going on uh was the emergency meeting with the russian president
00:06:10.500
it was called for putin and his defense minister but without all these events going on this single
00:06:18.420
event might not have gotten attention that it that it ended up receiving and that would have been a
00:06:23.700
bad thing quite honestly i can guarantee you that putin is pissed that all of those things happen
00:06:31.120
and people were tweeting about it because globally attention was turned on a government-run secret
00:06:38.740
military project that's exactly what we stumbled across last week and it's important that you
00:06:46.720
understand what happened this is what we know so far a russian nuclear submarine caught fire while
00:06:54.240
operating in the barrent sea now that's a coast off of northern russia the nearest countries are
00:06:59.860
finland and switzerland 14 russian sailors died trying to extinguish that fire that was reportedly
00:07:07.900
localized localized in the battery compartment the sailors were credited by the russians for preventing
00:07:15.120
quote a catastrophic a catastrophe of planetary scale now how is that possible well the first thing
00:07:25.940
we all think of is the word nuclear submarine fire it's another chernobyl right but if you were listening
00:07:34.900
to yesterday's program you know that most of what hbo showed was hysteria all right this is misinformation
00:07:46.240
this is disinformation a global catastrophe like chernobyl is not possible now this is going to sound
00:07:55.700
unsettling but it's actually not there are currently nine nuclear submarines sunk at the bottom of the
00:08:04.880
the ocean there's one right now just off the east coast of cape cod it's been there since 1963
00:08:14.340
in all there are two u.s and seven soviet or russian nuclear subs sitting at the ocean floor
00:08:22.720
so what happens to the reactors how come the reactors haven't you know had the china syndrome
00:08:29.100
well it's the ocean waters and they're providing a source of infinite cooling so they'll never explode so
00:08:38.120
no the russian sailors although very brave and heroic for you know perishing to save their ship did not
00:08:44.540
save the world from a planetary scale disaster this again is disinformation it's it's misdirection
00:08:52.340
look over here look over here if attention is being diverted intentionally what's the real story
00:09:02.680
attention is being moved through misdirection to get you off of the trail of the russian submarine
00:09:13.200
now this submarine is very special it's much smaller than the typical submarine with its nuclear reactors
00:09:22.320
it can stay submerged for very long periods of time it is considered one of the quietest submarines
00:09:28.540
in the russian fleet and it was built to go much deeper than any other underwater submersible
00:09:34.300
with two separate ship hulls so in other words imagine almost like a catamaran it's got two hulls
00:09:45.780
now why would the russians want a small nuclear power submarine that can skirt the ocean floor for
00:09:53.980
long periods of time and why is this project so secret
00:09:58.780
well i think most everybody except this audience is going to be really surprised when the next great war
00:10:09.680
between major powers breaks out i have talked to you for a long time about being prepared
00:10:16.460
being prepared save food store water gas secure some sort of power source get off the grid
00:10:23.740
why because world war three or the next major war is going to be unlike anything we've ever fought
00:10:34.420
before it is cyber warfare remember world war one was unlike any war the world had ever fought before
00:10:44.000
it was the introduction of tanks there were at the end of world war one there were almost no horses
00:10:50.140
left anywhere in europe because everybody grabbed their horse and they went to war well a horse isn't going
00:11:00.520
to stand up against a tank and so most of the horses were slaughtered in europe also the introduce the
00:11:08.500
introduction of chemical warfare and gas warfare that had never been seen before and it shocked the
00:11:17.980
world this time cyber warfare is going to shock the world and it's going to shock the world because
00:11:25.880
everything is going to change if you would look at a map of the ocean floor today
00:11:33.040
it would almost look like a a giant circuit board underwater communication cables stretch out from new
00:11:42.600
york all the way to europe from the west coast to asia and literally everywhere in between it's how we
00:11:50.740
are so interconnected it's how you can skype with someone in africa or visit a website in poland
00:11:57.880
and the underwater circuit board if you will began a long long time ago in 1854 with the installation of
00:12:06.280
the first transatlantic telegraph cable these communication lines have been laid for decades and they have
00:12:17.060
been targets for decades they've been targeted for spies ever since think about it with just the
00:12:23.660
telegraph cable if you're germans and you wanted to hear what america and england were talking about
00:12:30.560
in world war one all you have to do is just tap into the telegraph table right well that's what this is
00:12:39.320
during the cold war a u.s submarine the uss halibut successfully located and tapped a soviet line
00:12:48.060
during operation ivy bells that is the foreshadowing of what is coming now our internet or our interconnected
00:12:57.780
world depends on the flows the flow of ones and zeros and they are currently racing at the speed of light
00:13:07.700
under our oceans this russian submarine was built to take advantage of that they can locate and attach
00:13:17.380
themselves to these deep cables they can siphon off all of the information they can insert malware
00:13:24.340
to attack anything from the electrical grid to the water supply stations to the defense department
00:13:30.960
and when the information has all been stolen and the weapons have all been unleashed
00:13:36.420
they can sever the cables and leave us in the dark this is modern day warfare deep under the sea which is as
00:13:46.360
unknown to most people as the dark side of the moon this will be a first strike weapon and i don't think
00:13:57.020
we're anywhere close to understanding it as people i hope our pentagon is on it i'm sure
00:14:06.340
they are but remember vladimir putin said we're already in world war three the west just doesn't understand it yet
00:14:18.060
all right x chair is a great great chair i don't have one in our studios in new york
00:14:30.360
we kind of get them all in our studios um don't have one in the studios of new york and this is i keep

00:16:38.920
shut up shut up uh you know i was having dinner with some people uh the other night and um we were
00:16:46.320
talking about you know the world and politics and what we think you're gonna you know the future holds
00:16:51.780
and and everybody asked me so are texans awake yet on how much money is being poured into texas to make
00:17:01.140
that uh a a blue state and i said no no i don't think they are i think texans are just like the rest
00:17:10.960
of america was in 2007 and 8 oblivious and they're just like oh no that'll never happen yeah we can never
00:17:19.420
have those things happen i don't think they understand how close texas really is uh to being a
00:17:26.500
a blue state it's very purple right now do you think so because i'm i'm not sure about that i keep
00:17:34.120
hearing texas is blue texas is turning blue it's a battleground state i'm if you look back at the
00:17:41.320
beto and cruz election um yeah you know the left plays the game really well where they just keep
00:17:48.260
repeating the same lie until a pretty decent segment of americans believe them but just because they say
00:17:54.620
it over and over and over and over again doesn't make it true i could say monkeys are flying out my
00:17:59.160
butt every day that doesn't make it true it's just no but it is true in that particular that's a bad
00:18:04.940
example that is a bad example so wait a minute why do you go back to the re-election go back to the
00:18:09.700
election with ted and and beto uh ted was re-elected essentially by 51 48 so about three points and the
00:18:17.400
media said oh wow just a three-point victory in texas well texas is in play we keep trying to tell
00:18:23.480
you but let's not forget what was going on at the time for whatever reason beto was the darling of
00:18:30.440
and the rock star of the democrat party he'd raised over 80 million dollars an all-time record for a
00:18:38.980
senate campaign uh the vast majority of that came from out of state the day after the election he had
00:18:45.620
about a dollar 98 left in his account i mean he spent every penny pretty much and he outspent ted
00:18:51.060
at least two to one maybe three to one and lost even though he had all the momentum he had an
00:18:58.980
adoring media on his side locally and nationally every step of the way um and you add to that the fact
00:19:05.860
that ted had some we you'd forget sometimes he had some serious issues at the time namely he had just
00:19:12.460
pissed off all of the trump supporters because of the rough campaign they had against each other
00:19:17.140
including the fact that ted refused to endorse trump at the gop convention okay they were really angry
00:19:23.760
about that so then what was it a week and a half later he turned around and did a 180 which didn't
00:19:32.080
really please the trump fans because it wasn't at the convention and now suddenly he just angered his
00:19:38.380
entire base of conservatives so the democrats hated his guts from the beginning and just to tie the
00:19:48.320
other hand behind his back too before the election he alienated everybody who would potentially be on
00:19:54.480
his side in a normal election but even with all of that even with all of that i mean he had every
00:20:03.680
reason to lose i think he had nearly everybody turned on him and he still won the election so i'm not sure i believe
00:20:09.940
that texas is turning blue thing so i i do um and i do because i've talked to um many of the republican
00:20:17.780
players who you know for instance the governor who is really paying attention to this and um the money that is
00:20:26.020
being spent in texas to turn us blue yeah i do know that it's not only the yeah it's not only the money
00:20:32.380
that's um happening you know we've we've had a what is it a 48 increase in illegals in texas uh over the
00:20:42.420
last couple of years i mean it's easily it's incredible what's happening to our uh to our state um and
00:20:49.880
and as always the progressives take the cities they have austin they have dallas now they have
00:20:57.020
houston and you know well they've had the major metropolitan grow and grow and grow they've had
00:21:02.320
the metropolitan areas for quite a while though you know it's always been the suburbs yes i know
00:21:06.440
correct but you're taking an influx of mass amounts of illegals and mass amounts of californians
00:21:15.300
are coming in we're getting a thousand people a week from california moving into texas um and that's
00:21:21.440
not counting that's that's just that's just the population growth uh that's not counting the people
00:21:27.420
who um are being affected by the money i just don't think that uh texans are aware of the efforts and i think
00:21:38.260
people are lulled into this false fence uh sense of security of saying texas will always be
00:21:44.400
it'll always be red it'll always be red i don't think it will be if we don't pay attention to it
00:21:49.740
i mean that part is true because like the constitution it doesn't just protect itself
00:21:53.480
you know and texas doesn't just protect itself we have to do the work both with the constitution
00:21:58.900
and with texas so you're right we do have to be aware of the efforts uh because they would like
00:22:04.900
nothing i mean if they do win texas then it's over right you will never win another uh national election
00:22:10.580
no no you flip texas that's bad flip the country uh and it is the it is truly the line in the sand
00:22:19.940
and it's interesting because texas is where that phrase came from davy crockett drawing a line in the
00:22:27.840
sand uh in uh in in at the alamo texas is the line in the sand for the republic if you lose texas
00:22:37.020
you lose the republic you're listening to glenn beck progress is a wonderful thing 10 years ago
00:22:48.920
we couldn't have imagined how amazon would make shopping so much more convenient but as we often
00:22:54.920
see with progress comes an opportunity for criminals to take advantage of us the porch pirate thefts
00:23:02.500
are now to the point where in texas you could be sent to jail for 10 years now what is a porch pirate
00:23:08.920
a porch pirate is somebody who comes up on your porch when they see a package and just steals it

00:25:43.320
my granddaughter each night i'm i'm going out because i started this stupid tradition when they
00:25:47.780
were like six uh of taking them out to a broadway show and every year we would go and they wanted
00:25:54.520
dad to wear a tux so they could wear a fancy dress and so we're still doing that and they're now in
00:26:01.060
their 30s um hannah is i think 26 and maybe 27 and um uh and we last night we went and you know look
00:26:11.640
at me i look like an old man i've got solid white hair i look like colonel sanders for the love of
00:26:16.180
beat so i'm standing there in a tux which the only people there in a tux uh and she's in this really
00:26:23.460
fancy sparkly outfit that she had um and she doesn't necessarily thank god for her uh look like me
00:26:32.100
and so we were laughing tanya and i were laughing about how everybody's gonna think that this creepy
00:26:37.300
old man i mean it was like jeffrey epstein i was like hey yeah i was i'm on the lolita flight a little
00:26:44.280
later uh and this uh this couples they all were looking at me all these older people were looking
00:26:50.500
at me with disgust and i'm like is that because you know who i am or because you don't know who i am
00:26:57.900
and you think i'm on date with this this pretty young uh you know 20 something or is it that you
00:27:03.840
know who i am and you think i'm on a date with a 20 something so i'm standing there and uh finally
00:27:10.240
this lady gets uh some courage and her husband is just giving me the just the devil look the whole
00:27:15.900
time and uh he walks away in disgust and my daughter happens to move away and this woman comes up to me
00:27:23.280
and she said so what's the special occasion we've been wondering uh because you're all dressed up with
00:27:30.160
that uh pretty young uh woman on your arm and i said now i'm i'm thinking to myself
00:27:36.640
it would be really funny if i said yeah i just like i'm young you know i'm on that lolita plane
00:27:44.940
jeffrey epstein uh he and he introduced us a little while ago but i decided to say no i'm on a father
00:27:50.900
daughter date and that's my daughter and you could see the woman when i said that you could see the
00:27:56.060
woman she just changed she was like oh thank god because we thought you were really creepy
00:28:01.600
and and she's like oh that is so wonderful oh that's the sweetest thing and she totally changes
00:28:10.460
and then i looked at her and i said you know but i mean i did buy dinner and so it's a good thing she
00:28:17.200
puts out no i didn't say that but i i i really wanted to say that but i didn't i was so i behaved
00:28:25.200
myself do you think she knew who you were uh and was disgusting no idea or did just i have absolutely
00:28:32.840
no idea she was like she i don't know because she was she said um she was she was testing my cultural
00:28:40.660
uh expertise and i made her sick i just know i made her sick um she said uh so what other shows
00:28:48.620
have you seen this season i'm like oh shut up you pretentious and i said well i just went to frozen
00:28:56.480
which i knew drove her out of her mind she was like oh oh and i said and they're gonna see wicked
00:29:04.620
tomorrow she was like oh my gosh i i would have rather thought of you having sex with that young
00:29:12.980
girl than this anyway um let's talk a little bit about politics here uh joe biden quickly losing
00:29:20.060
black voters support however he is picking up uh steam he's back to 15 point lead in some of the
00:29:28.180
polls he's back up to 30 percent uh which is is fascinating to me in a field of 25 people yeah
00:29:36.840
that's it's amazing it's amazing well i mean if you look at the field there's really only a field of
00:29:42.360
four people it's biden it's harris it's um sanders warren uh sanders and warren that's it everybody
00:29:50.520
else is like at one percent and i love this because any other candidate is now currently at three percent
00:29:59.820
so half more than half of the field is being beaten by anybody but you
00:30:06.780
and and no name attached at all right it's just someone else no name it's just someone else
00:30:14.560
which to me shows the lack of diversity uh in this and the lack of credibility of any of these
00:30:22.220
i mean i don't think you would have gotten uh anyone else i never saw a poll that asked that
00:30:28.280
maybe they did and they never printed it but i i don't think you would have gotten that
00:30:33.040
with the republican field we had a huge republican field and everybody i know was happy with the
00:30:40.600
selection everybody was like this is the best selection we've had you know usually we get jeb bush
00:30:46.800
and uh you know neil bush and george bush we're like okay do we have a deeper field than this
00:30:53.980
could you at least put tito marlin and jermaine bush in there too and i i would like that i mean
00:31:00.840
uh and so i don't think you would have gotten that with the republicans but you have it now
00:31:05.280
and there is a huge battle going on for the the heart of the uh democratic party i don't know if
00:31:14.880
you saw what the bet founder said did you see this i didn't okay the bet founder okay that's the black
00:31:23.360
entertainment television founder um and we know how they were under barack obama they loved
00:31:30.800
they loved everything that was going on this is the founder and i want to quote if i can what he
00:31:38.640
said now listen to way he he couches this the party in my opinion for me personally
00:31:45.440
okay we got it we got it you're just saying it's me it's just me it's me it's it's it's me it's not
00:31:53.560
you the party in my opinion for me personally has moved too far to the left wow and for that reason
00:32:01.580
i don't have a particular candidate that i'm supporting in the party at this time i think at
00:32:07.080
the end of the day if a democrat is going to beat trump then that person he or she is going to have
00:32:11.740
to move to the center and you can't wait too long to do that that's incredible he goes on to say
00:32:18.800
wow i think the economy is doing great i think the economy is doing great and it's reaching
00:32:25.740
populations that heretofore had very bad problems in terms of jobs and employments and the opportunities
00:32:33.300
that come with employment so african-american unemployment is now at its lowest level this is
00:32:40.420
the head of bet he goes on i give the president a lot of credit for moving the economy in a positive
00:32:49.700
direction that is benefiting a large amount of americans i think the tax cuts clearly helped
00:32:57.860
stimulate the economy i think business people have more confidence in the way the economy is going
00:33:03.940
end quote that's uh astounding did we slip through a worm did we slip through a wormhole last night
00:33:11.080
wow that is incredible absolutely incredible that sounds like he intends to vote for trump doesn't it
00:33:20.380
i just if you just heard that quote you would think that's a trump supporter trump supporter
00:33:25.060
that's that's that's that's remarkable yeah um then you have people and see they don't they really
00:33:32.980
don't understand this aoc is nothing but a twitter farm now she has she has her little lambs and her
00:33:41.740
little sheep that follow her um beyond twitter and in places like new york city but america is
00:33:50.620
believe me i'm here america is not new york city it's just not uh and they are playing to this very
00:34:01.380
small number uh in these cities like new york and it is it's just not cool in other i don't even think
00:34:11.140
it's cool in in chicago and places like chicago they are just too far left and they think that they
00:34:20.380
can get away with anything let me give you this from uh ilan omar she told a group of high school
00:34:27.400
students in a story which she claims she witnessed she said it's a story of america's injustice and
00:34:35.380
racism but the washington post decided to look into it uh let me say that again the washington post
00:34:45.400
not the examiner the post discovered that this story isn't true the washington post reports that
00:34:54.200
omar was speaking to an audience of 400 high school students when she told of visiting minneapolis
00:35:00.100
in a courtroom where she witnessed a sweet old african-american lady who had spent the weekend in jail
00:35:08.240
for stealing a two dollar loaf of bread for just to feed her starving five-year-old granddaughter
00:35:15.480
i believe this is the plot of les miserables i don't think did she get an extra 17 years for trying
00:35:25.440
to escape uh did she get her yellow ticket of leave this is this is les miserables uh she said the woman
00:35:34.440
was fined 80 for that crime and she said i could not control my emotions i stood up in the courtroom
00:35:41.520
and i said bullcrap except she didn't use the word crap now
00:35:48.540
it's not true um because city officials uh have they've told the washington post that police are not
00:35:58.300
allowed to arrest people for shoplifting think of this this is a whole nother problem they're not
00:36:03.520
allowed to arrest people for shoplifting unless there's a likelihood of violence or further crime
00:36:10.680
typically shoplifters are sentenced to attend a three-hour class so when the reporters from the
00:36:19.500
washington post went to omar and said hey uh this isn't true uh she said well i may have flubbed a few
00:36:28.460
facts like maybe any of it actually happening she said i might have flubbed a few facts um the woman
00:36:35.820
convicted of the crime might have had a prior arrest i i'm not sure uh the details may not have all
00:36:41.520
matched but that's what i remember oh is it now this isn't the first time recently she told a group
00:36:49.800
of veterans that about 45 percent of military families rely on food stamps she had one number
00:36:57.800
right it's five percent not 45 percent and last month an attempt to bring attention to a good
00:37:06.680
gun control bill she tweeted that 500 people on average are killed every single day by a gun
00:37:17.640
in the united states no no no nope nope that would mean 182 000 people died from gun deaths in the
00:37:29.000
united states every year 182 000 the number's a little smaller than that it's 39 000 and most of those
00:37:37.640
60 percent of those were suicides suicides so uh and i think they're just overplaying their hand i think
00:37:47.100
they are i think they've become oh i just think they are just becoming so toxic you know um uh a couple
00:37:58.300
of the guys went to the gym um here in new york and they were at the gym and this woman who was was
00:38:04.780
like running the gym or she was doing a class or something she was working out with with these women
00:38:10.440
right next to the guys and she loudly said for them to hear it was intentional oh i just hate men men are
00:38:19.300
worthless they are so ugly and i just hate them what is that and i think that is that is being heard
00:38:31.240
throughout the land things like that and americans just don't like it they don't they're not like that
00:38:38.100
and they don't want any part of it i'm convinced of it
00:38:41.500
all right tekovas tekovas makes great boots now when i say they're great boots here's what i mean
00:39:01.700

so aoc has claimed that kellyanne conway is sexist toward her uh and you know you might ask wait so
00:41:06.440
she's she's she's sexist against women to which aoc claimed patriarchy has no gender
00:41:15.980
which hmm because it does make it uh seem like well it could be the matriarchy
00:41:28.420
uh no uh so patriarchy uh has no gender does matriarchy now you might have a gender or
00:41:38.100
do we know of course it does of course okay of course it's stupid i'm sorry loving
00:41:42.920
it's stupid you're so stupid it revolves around women so
00:41:47.440
oh okay so it's perfect and wonderful patriarchy yes
00:41:50.800
okay it's perfect and wonderful has no flaws patriarchy on the other hand
00:41:55.020
is riddled with flaws we'll get into that next hour
00:41:57.700
i'm hillary that's your four minute buzz and now here's glenn and pat with the next hour of the show
00:42:05.280
thank you very much uh hillary we've got a great um next hour coming up in just a few minutes for the
00:42:12.100
radio uh broadcast i want to tell you um about brad thor's new thriller brad is a friend of mine
00:42:18.640
uh he's he's 19 i think he's out of 19 thrillers i think he's got i don't know about 12 number ones
00:42:27.600
uh and he churns them out every month and it's it's kind of like james bond where you don't have to
00:42:33.260
you don't have to read everything to get up to the latest his latest is backlash which is just really
00:42:40.680
great uh a navy seal turn covert uh counterterrorism uh counterterrorism operative uh it's his usual
00:42:49.500
character but this time the russians come in and scoop him up off the streets of uh america and he
00:42:57.560
has one chance to escape and he takes it it there's a reason brad thor is known as the master of thrillers
00:43:03.460
you can find at amazon or at brad thor.com backlash the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment
00:43:13.620
so kellyanne conway said yesterday that um uh that or i'm sorry that aoc said that kellyanne conway
00:43:26.820
was sexist uh and coming after her she's part of the patriarchy uh and someone responded wait a
00:43:36.720
minute kellyanne is sexist against women that makes sense and aoc responded patriarchy has no gender
00:43:45.600
hate in the patriarchy that's the main right isn't this the whole patriarchy has no gender
00:43:55.620
if you feel like you can't make heads or tails out of what the hell people are talking about
00:44:01.240
there's a reason for that but i have an actual flesh and bone decoder ring sitting next to me
00:44:09.940
we're going to talk to him next this is the glenbeck program
00:44:15.140
i want to tell you about our sponsor for 60 seconds then right back into the program
00:44:22.420
relief factor if you are suffering from pain the biggest part of our pain comes from inflammation

i'm a guy who had just significant pain uh for the last almost 10 years and i can get through my
00:44:38.500
days now we're out there most days i didn't think i could get through most days my wife would have to
00:44:43.940
get up and even button the buttons of my shirt and my hands were so they hurt so badly i just couldn't
00:44:50.160
do anything relief factor has helped me out and i have to be honest with you i was at the end of my
00:44:56.640
rope before i took it because i'm like what reduce the inflammation and it's all natural that's not
00:45:03.720

or just go to relieffactor.com that's relieffactor.com
00:45:43.980
almost a year ago i picked up a book called springtime
00:46:07.800
for snowflakes and i read it and i thought this guy is this guy is either a covert op that's making
00:46:18.640
us all think that he is on our side but he's actually not or he's the bravest guy i think i've
00:46:25.800
ever met uh and he turns out i mean this is what he wants me to believe he turns out to be uh a guy
00:46:34.000
who is really truly brave and uh and honest and his name is michael rechtenwald and he was a professor
00:46:41.720
at uh nyu uh who uh lost his gig uh at nyu it had nothing to do with him taking on the system
00:46:52.020
they made that very clear did they not michael yes you started tweeting that's right and what were
00:46:58.100
some of your tweets well i mean i tweeted i tweeted things like you know social justice warriors
00:47:03.720
there's a bunch of little stalin's running around you know i just imagine that and then wake up and
00:47:10.960
realize yes you're in that world uh you have a bunch of stalin's running around they're just
00:47:16.180
stalin just weirder sjw uh so i was trying to get at the idea like we were dealing with a bunch of
00:47:23.420
uh you know uh authoritarians all over the place uh and uh things like that and i wanted i talked
00:47:30.220
about some of the craziness going on on campuses for example you know the establishment of segregated
00:47:36.320
dormitories you know where they were you know african-american only dorms you know like a reversal
00:47:42.040
of of things that were supposedly progressive you know or moving forward and and uh uh the halloween
00:47:47.800
costume insanity where you couldn't dress up as anything you know that might be appropriating of
00:47:53.360
some culture meanwhile you have the left dressing up as a new person every day right i mean so
00:47:58.700
they're changing their identities on the fly right but nobody can wear a halloween costume for a night
00:48:03.120
and you were a guy you were one of the most popular uh professors at nyu which is not exactly a
00:48:11.740
conservative school you're not a conservative or weren't a conservative really no um and uh you
00:48:18.840
actually wrote white papers yeah for communists for marxists yeah yeah yeah and you you wrote that
00:48:26.160
you told me you wrote those things because in theory yeah right in theory yeah communism is great yeah but
00:48:34.680
in practice it never works right i was with like a group that called themselves left or libertarian
00:48:41.320
communists and every everybody on the other side of the middle thinks that's complete oxymoron of course
00:48:47.400
right but they believe that like the workers of their own accord without like the vanguardists or as
00:48:53.520
the leaders like the bolsheviks taking charge that if if it all has spontaneously erupted from the bottom
00:49:00.500
up then it'll be workers will have like control of everything and it's just wonderful and of course there's no
00:49:07.060
there's no greed there's no evil there's no bad people amongst the workers they're all pure pure
00:49:13.100
they're all saints i mean so what it is is you're born whatever you know rank and class you're born
00:49:18.640
into in the world according to the left that basically sanctifies you in effect so that you know
00:49:23.600
it's just a very weird theology right and you were part and you were part of it absolutely when you
00:49:29.300
realized that people were serious and they were starting to go for actual communism yeah well actually
00:49:37.780
when they were starting to go for people's heads you know starting to talk and act and attack people
00:49:45.020
in the way that like the red guard did in in the cultural revolution and under maoism from 66 to
00:49:51.900
76 and just insanity where they just routed out everything and they started destroying all the
00:49:58.020
cultural artifacts the historic anything that represented historical memory tradition convention
00:50:03.480
it had to be raised to the ground and i saw the same things happening here like literature being
00:50:10.460
thrown out of the curriculum you know of course we see statues being defaced all kinds of historical
00:50:15.660
memories being erased it's it's it's to me it started to see seem like the same what was mao's purpose
00:50:22.200
for doing that well he was he was very self-motivated first of all he's trying to eliminate any
00:50:27.120
competition that he was having within the party so if he got all these red guard and they were all
00:50:32.840
students very very you know gullible and enthusiastic and crazy and he got them like hey guess what you
00:50:40.380
can go in and basically overthrow the classroom how would you like to go in and kick your teacher out
00:50:45.920
or how would you like to put them on trial that's happening yeah that's happening now in america and so
00:50:51.480
he he actually turned the the populace against the state against the very social order itself
00:50:59.260
and to to dissolve it so that he would have absolute supremacy which
00:51:05.840
who is the mao of our time how is this how is this how is this happening it seems yeah there's a lot
00:51:15.240
of mini maos i call them mini maos it's like sort of like mini maos yeah yeah yeah because there's no
00:51:21.480
big figures like this that are that are able to i mean you have you know you have the the north
00:51:27.780
korean leader but i mean yeah that that doesn't count we're talking about like in our world
00:51:31.920
there there's a few people i mean there's a lot of people so where's it coming from it's coming from
00:51:37.260
these these people that are tapping into their moral superiority and their authoritarian impulses
00:51:42.860
and they their their their moral probity they think they're absolutely right and they think they have
00:51:49.220
the truth on their side and they're on the right side of history this is the key if you're on the right
00:51:54.880
side of history because they think history is going in a direction happens to be the direction
00:51:59.160
they want it to go in you know it's called this is called whiggish history because that's how the
00:52:03.620
whigs thought in in great britain they thought that you know there was a progress narrative of history
00:52:08.720
and of course the progress was all going the way that towards their types of policies and this is the
00:52:13.600
same thing these people hold they hold this progress narrative it's all going their way
00:52:18.140
basically anything new is good including any new genders anything but anything not new
00:52:25.160
is cis or x right you know and uh just like in the soviet union they started calling you know in
00:52:32.720
during the great terror anybody that was designated as an x ex that is your x official x this x that
00:52:39.980
from another from the earlier regime you you were uh going to the gulag so i i say that cis is kind of
00:52:46.520
like the equivalent of x it's a way of marking the antiquated who must go down how the obvious
00:52:54.980
question here michael how do these people who say they're fighting against authoritarians yeah how do
00:53:02.980
they not see that they are exactly what they despise it's amazing i i if i was a cartoonist yeah i would
00:53:12.180
draw a picture of an antifa uh character who's looking in a mirror and he sees on his forehead a
00:53:20.640
swastika okay but you know because they are absolutely replicas of what they think they're
00:53:27.740
against they are the brown shirts or the black shirts yeah it's very frightening but what's frightening
00:53:32.760
about it is the unselfconsciousness of that how do you how is the self-delusion so thick that you could
00:53:40.480
actually be the incarnation of what you think you're against a lot of people will say that it was
00:53:45.880
people like you work around or or may have been on the campuses that are that are just filling
00:53:52.500
people's heads with gobbledygook oh i can't i can't even tell you i mean it's so sad to me it's so sad
00:54:00.100
what's happened i think that like for example what happens the college curricula they've turned it into
00:54:05.260
like um basically it's a moral program based on social justice as the main creed and they've read
00:54:14.200
anything that's that doesn't fit you know like for example at so as in in london it's a university
00:54:20.880
that they threw out all white male philosophers from the from the philosophy curriculum okay that's all
00:54:28.540
western philosophy that's everybody yeah that's everybody there's a you know maybe it leaves um
00:54:33.340
in rent but i mean i'm not going to teach her no so there's not much left and uh you know whatever
00:54:39.980
reason still you know these are people that contributed a great deal to our society yeah yeah
00:54:45.180
and our culture you read plato today and you can learn a lot oh yeah a lot and i mean however you
00:54:51.500
want to think about it you know there is a great connection between platon uh plato is platonic
00:54:56.700
thinking and christianity for example there's a great deal of connection there whether you think
00:55:02.860
that you know christianity borrowed from it or it was a precursor that sort of set the stage
00:55:07.700
you know it works either way but it definitely is deeply foundational to the way we are so how many
00:55:14.720
people this is the argument i think uh people are having in themselves or unfortunately it's keeping
00:55:23.660
them blind because they think that there's not enough people that actually believe in these things
00:55:30.140
and so they're gonna you know this is just gonna stop at some point and you do see evidence that people
00:55:36.220
are waking up yeah because they're pushing way too far right um but how many people do you think on the
00:55:43.620
campuses if you look at it you know through polls 70 80 percent are buying into it yeah what i heard was
00:55:53.100
uh at nyu the students would tell me that the that the worst places weren't even the classrooms the
00:55:58.780
dormitories where the students were self-patrolling each other in the social justice creed and they
00:56:05.900
were correcting each other if they you know were saying or doing or acting in a wrong way according to
00:56:12.220
the creed so there was a lot of like censorship going on within the dormitories and stuff like that and
00:56:17.820
like a lot of you know like blackballing students and it was sounded like a horror show and i was i
00:56:24.140
was living the worst of it as a professor who's not you don't get out in four years yeah unless they
00:56:29.820
throw you out right uh you know they only have a short term there it's not going to last forever but
00:56:35.580
you know i had to live with that and uh it's spooky all right uh more with michael rechtenwald we're
00:56:42.540
going to talk about his new book uh that is coming up that uh i think is tremendous just tremendous
00:56:49.420
and something that everybody needs to read but if you're if you're like me you're going to need to
00:56:54.140
read it two or three times because it's very very deep but really important we'll talk about that coming
00:57:00.380
up in just a second um uh our sponsor is x chair uh i wish we had the x chairs up here in our studios in

00:57:13.420
they are tremendous chairs uh they are unlike these cheap chairs that we have sitting here

00:58:31.180
so michael i think a lot of people think um where the hell did that come from where did that word
00:58:40.780
come from all of a sudden you know the patriarchy is something we're talking about and we never talked
00:58:47.020
about that before right and the patriarchy has no gender well then what is it yeah they like to keep
00:58:54.140
it nebulous you know because then they can move it around and and put it on anybody but yeah but
00:58:59.900
the patriarchy was supposedly you know of course domination by the patriarchs by male you know
00:59:06.220
authority figures and so forth and the west does not have a patriarchy okay this is very clear there are
00:59:12.700
some middle east the middle east has a page yes it does that is a patriarchy and interestingly enough
00:59:17.980
the western feminists have no problem with the with eastern patriarchy yes they so that they don't
00:59:25.500
critique it and they actually will scold you severely if you talk about the hijab and anything like that
00:59:30.700
so it's it's a very weird thing the reason why they they keep it this way like so the patriarchy has no
00:59:36.780
gender so they can paste it on anybody particularly what they like to do is people that are supposed to
00:59:43.100
be in a victim class and don't behave properly for that victim class category they go after those
00:59:49.740
people with more vengeance than they do anyone and that's the scariest thing like um this you know the
00:59:56.140
um the the president of the harris foundation african-american woman uh k jones i think it was her last last
01:00:02.300
name but she's she was uh elected to be on the advisory board of google right and um because she is
01:00:09.660
conservative the google what i call them the red guard within the google woke force as i put it in
01:00:16.540
the book uh they went mad i mean and they they called her everything from uh you know transphobe and all
01:00:23.900
that to a white supremacist they went after her with more vehemence than they go after the the oppressors
01:00:32.780
so this just shows me that they're not interested in serving the subordinated and i'm not saying
01:00:39.500
there aren't subordinated people in this world what i'm saying is the left uses them they're just
01:00:45.340
props oh yeah and do historically speaking yeah do we wake up from this before it's too late
01:01:00.540
let's just say this the waking up is going to be scary for a lot of people and i think it's going to have to
01:01:06.780
be like they're going to be woken up by knocks on the door in effect metaphorically you know at night
01:01:12.780
you know just like when the when the uh they start coming for when the check-up starts coming to your
01:01:18.060
door and and hauling you off to the view log not effectively in the exact same way but the more
01:01:23.260
people that are going to be ripped down called down rip me too whatever right the people that are uh
01:01:29.420
right now um being uh you know kicked off of of twitter kicked off of youtube facebook everything
01:01:38.300
else they include people like you you know they include people who are effective and from you know
01:01:45.980
formally from their group yeah when you when you wake up and come out and go wait a minute wait a
01:01:51.740
minute this is really dangerous they stifle you and at some point i mean they'll you know the
01:01:57.180
niemuller poem is true at first they came for the trade unionist and i wasn't trade unionist so i
01:02:02.940
didn't care that's right exactly until they come for you you know i wasn't even talking about my type
01:02:07.660
i'm talking about like african-americans like uh for example uh candace owens who doesn't behave
01:02:13.020
properly according to the victim conny west yes and uh you know even clarence thomas i mean it would not
01:02:20.460
conform and so they you know he said well you know he went through an electronic lynching yeah now it's a
01:02:26.060
digital lynching and digital disappearances which is really what scares me yeah the depersonization
01:02:32.620
yes the depersoning or unpersoning yeah unpersoning because once everybody is and first of all they've
01:02:38.780
they've made the public sphere basically irrelevant or limited to the digital sphere so there's nowhere
01:02:45.340
to really get to anybody with any message outside of the digital sphere then they have complete control
01:02:51.660
over it and it's privatized so there's no state sanctions of anything there's no rights and so
01:02:58.380
they're they're just erasing any opinions that they don't like and what's crazy is so many people in
01:03:04.060
silicon valley that i've talked to they all talk about the end of the nation state they want it they
01:03:09.820
want it because of that there is no constitution there are no laws they make the laws and they'll be
01:03:17.420
able to shape society any way they want yeah i've never i'm a capitalist i've never been you know one
01:03:23.740
that jumps on these you know anti-capitalist anti-corporate kind of bandwagons but these corporations
01:03:30.940
are truly becoming frightening yeah because and they're telling us what they're going to do i want
01:03:37.020
to get into that with you when we come back we're going to take a quick break and back with um michael
01:03:41.820
rechtenwald um he's got a new book out that is talking about the digital ghetto if you will uh
01:03:50.460
the walls that are being built and uh it's it's pretty uh frightening and pretty amazing and something
01:03:58.780
that everybody should read we'll get into that coming up in just a second
01:04:28.780
you're listening to glenn back porch pirates may soon face felony charges in texas god bless texas
01:04:39.660
anybody who is stealing a package from somebody's front porch could face up to 10 years now and texans

think that just a delivery man is just a man that person them can go in and put that package in the

01:06:01.260
a former professor at nyu a guy who knows the left because he was inside the left uh and is now using
01:06:11.420
their language uh exposing them uh to and i think hopefully to many who are on the left exposing and
01:06:21.100
having them see oh crap i'm on the wrong side yeah um tell me the name of your book it's called google
01:06:28.620
archipelago and there's a subtitle the digital gulag and the simulation of freedom there was another book
01:06:36.380
yes similar in title uh and uh when you if you know what it is uh it's a little breathtaking to use
01:06:46.380
that title the gulag archipelago as opposed to google that's correct um obviously intentional yes uh and
01:06:56.700
uh you're going to get a lot of pushback yeah i'm ready are you yeah okay uh and you say that google
01:07:05.100
is is doing the same thing uh that the soviets were doing just in a different way yes i mean i
01:07:13.340
say very clearly uh from the start that listen when i say gulag and i'm comparing saying comparing
01:07:19.500
the google to gulag i'm not saying that it's a prison camp that will have necessarily you know
01:07:26.140
assassinations uh forced uh labor uh slavery in effect that's what it was interesting for a workers
01:07:33.180
paradise um and so on and so forth i'm saying that as the good as the gulag was the you know the
01:07:41.740
most uh articulated high-tech uh power structure and uh control mechanism in the world at the time
01:07:51.020
so google archipelago as i called is the most widespread powerful and far more penetrating and
01:07:58.860
far more extensive uh system of control and power we had dinner the other night with a group of people
01:08:06.460
yes and uh china came up and um there was somebody at the table who just would not give that china is
01:08:17.580
this horrible monster yeah uh because hey they're using the free market and they're pulling all these
01:08:22.700
people up but the way they're using the digital surveillance is truly terrifying yeah most people
01:08:31.100
he didn't he was a very smart individual yes he didn't even really understand what was coming
01:08:38.140
and and let's talk just a little bit about the silencing of voices and where that's headed we're
01:08:44.860
already seeing the silencing of voices we're seeing credit card companies and banks starting to get
01:08:50.780
involved in saying this person you can't do business with them anymore that's right when you have
01:08:57.340
lost your uh uh status yeah so you cannot be heard yeah you can't access the mainstream conversation
01:09:08.220
you you you're being erased as if you've never existed all of the stuff you've ever written or
01:09:14.060
said or done or anything gone yeah uh and now you can't access financial services aren't you in a gulag
01:09:23.660
this is pretty this is a frightening prospect i mean you know there's the there's of course the
01:09:28.460
surveillance there's the tracking of everything you'll ever do there is the you know there's going
01:09:33.500
to be basically everyone will have a digital signature when you walk outside my argument is that
01:09:38.620
you'll be we are going to be in the internet this idea of going on the internet will be so quaint
01:09:45.260
it's the internet anachronistic i mean the internet is going to be everywhere it's cyberspace everywhere
01:09:50.940
effectively so everywhere you go you're going to be a piece of data that is tracked and every move you
01:09:57.420
make will be known they'll have in china they have this they have digital fences for people whose social
01:10:03.900
credit score is not high enough to leave the city for example or even say the neighborhood
01:10:09.580
or you go to grocery shopping yes so they what they do is they they said there's an immediate alert
01:10:15.340
sent to the proper authorities and they pick them off the street right you know so china is exporting
01:10:20.860
their ai already the city are trying to get all over the country all of the countries to buy into it
01:10:27.660
the first place that bought into it interestingly is a town called darwin australia they bought into
01:10:33.500
the smart city idea uh they they said they were more concerned for their safety that safety was
01:10:40.940
such a concern to them that i guess they were willing to forfeit liberty entirely and that's pretty
01:10:48.300
curious we have some we have some people in our country you know in our history that our tradition
01:10:53.260
have talked about that yeah right yeah franklin said you you will uh lose both and deserve neither
01:10:59.900
that's right so um bring it to google yeah and show how google is doing this yeah first of all i want
01:11:11.020
to say that google is just an emblem right so that's why i call it the google archipelago the it's it's the
01:11:16.620
whole chain of islands yes that's right there's big digital and it consists of all of these gargantuan
01:11:21.980
digital people don't talk about amazon right they're part of it but they are part of it they're part of it
01:11:27.580
yeah um it's it's harder to work them in but they have they're doing things that are very similar
01:11:32.380
that you know if you don't do business like they want if you don't practice this that and the other
01:11:36.380
thing you're correct but they also um i mean they are going to be uh a in their own words a delivery
01:11:44.300
company more than a sales company they're going to just deliver it before you buy it that's right
01:11:50.460
which means they have to have so much information on you that they can predict you 95 percent of
01:11:57.580
the time they're using out we're going to use algorithms to to to to mail to sell immediately to
01:12:04.380
people products they haven't decided to buy yet but the algorithms have said they will buy right
01:12:09.980
and they'll send it to your house and which which leads you to the question where is the tail and where
01:12:17.100
is the head because with google and all these algorithms yeah they're going to be marketing to
01:12:23.980
you they're going to know you so well they're going to be marketing to you oh yeah and before you know
01:12:29.020
it you want that product that's just arrived at your door yeah but do you really want it or have you been
01:12:37.420
shaped to want that yes um there's a big question of whether you've been led down an algorithmic trail
01:12:44.060
over time through particular processes of of presenting this that and the other thing to you
01:12:49.900
and excluding many other things of course and a lot of the things of course that are excluded are
01:12:55.100
alternative ideas to theirs sure i mean let's not get forget they have an explicit political agenda
01:13:03.100
they're not some neutral or uh collector and distributor of information they have this agenda they
01:13:10.380
to make the world better improve the world wherever in their sense which is you know based
01:13:16.140
on again the social justice creed all the way down the line and uh and so this is this is the steering
01:13:22.620
they're doing they're steering you through algorithms and so there's there's going to be the idea of
01:13:27.900
whether you're you know there's going to be a question about free will very shortly oh yeah very
01:13:32.860
whether it exists because if you're being algorithmically uh led and and steered and
01:13:40.540
and all your choices can be predicted in advance by these algorithmic patterns then
01:13:48.460
this causes a philosophical problem but also the question of like who's who's running me here correct
01:13:53.740
yeah and and you know if for anybody who's listened to me for a long time i used to talk about cast
01:13:59.260
sunstein and uh you know his work on nudge and it's always bothered me that political people were
01:14:07.580
using nudge that we were being nudged as a society but just by putting the french fries uh in the back
01:14:15.740
and the apples in the front well this is a much more sophisticated nudge to where you won't be able to
01:14:24.460
find it i mean try to find some information if you can't find it after a couple of searches on google
01:14:30.860
you just think it doesn't exist that's right it's buried they have blacklists for everything
01:14:36.620
now i want to say one thing to to qualify where i'm coming from i'm not a luddite i'm not a technophobe
01:14:42.460
i worked for five years in an ai lab as a writer and the robotics institute at carnegie mellon while
01:14:48.060
i was writing my dissertation simultaneously so like i know where this is where this all came from
01:14:54.300
i studied it i was at you know the new assignment and i love i love this i i the the technology that
01:15:01.580
is coming our way is going to either enslave us unlike any time ever before that's right or it's
01:15:08.940
going to free us unlike anything anyone's ever imagined and you know i i say this is this these
01:15:14.780
dystopian possibilities are just that i'm not saying this is inevitable if i if i thought it
01:15:19.900
was inevitable i wouldn't write the book but michael it is becoming more and more inevitable yeah because
01:15:25.740
it's moving so fast yeah and unless people wake up right now yeah and educate themselves on what is
01:15:34.780
really happening yeah we're just going to accept it yeah one thing after another because it's going it's
01:15:41.020
1984 is happening in china we're brave new world it's being wrapped up in things that we like that's
01:15:49.100
right toronto has already bought into the sidewalk project of uh of alphabet google's partner sidewalk
01:15:57.740
is like the smart cities of china it tracks every it says that and in fact they'll not only know what
01:16:04.460
kind of porch furniture you have how long it takes you to cross the street what exactly you're
01:16:10.780
your habits uh and every move you make and they're buying it because they think it's wonderful that
01:16:17.260
there's so much knowledge to be had but when the knowledge is about like intimate details of people's
01:16:23.180
lives and that it's contained in the cloud in this very centralized place which is like you know owned
01:16:31.100
by a private organization and they're also they're changing the laws of toronto to do this i have to tell
01:16:37.740
you i don't know why we haven't passed a law already saying my private individual information about me
01:16:45.900

the muslim brotherhood and he's a jew uh so i mean courage is contagious and we're going to uh
01:19:59.820
share his story coming up in uh just a second um have you seen that the uh digital erasing of the
01:20:08.540
history now of bill clinton and the plane uh with uh epstein oh they're definitely worried are they
01:20:15.740
erased oh are they scared oh my gosh wikipedia has already changed everything uh they've taken bill
01:20:23.020
clinton's uh trips out uh she had 27 trips he has only said he took four uh but you know we have the
01:20:33.500
flight logs you you have to file the manifest so they have the flight manifest uh as part of record
01:20:39.660
uh they also now have the pilots manifest where there's some real trouble because he said my secret
01:20:46.700
service was always with me we now know because of federal documents which flights he took and which
01:20:54.460
ones he didn't have uh secret service with and on those flights the pilots um in their own log book
01:21:03.260
uh kept a log of everybody that was on and every time bill clinton was on without secret service there
01:21:09.020
were underage girls on the plane oh my oh yeah oopsie daisies yeah this this very well might be payback
01:21:19.500
uh for the uh for the trump uh lies uh but we'll see because there's also some speculation that these
01:21:29.020
guys are never going to pay for their crimes because they are so well connected we'll see
01:21:37.420
we'll see this is the this is the closest i think the clintons have ever come to having to face justice
01:21:45.020
for the things that they have done this is the closest this might be the one taboo that still
01:21:52.380
remains that you you can't have sex with underage girls you you can't do that i mean i think as a
01:22:00.380
society and a civilization we can still agree on that right i i hope we can i don't know if you're
01:22:07.180
clinton i don't know yeah i don't know i don't know we'll see if you're really really well connected
01:22:12.620
and you have others alec baldwin involved in these things how many people are going to be taken down
01:22:20.700
by this and i mean this this is this will shoot right into the heart of the democratic uh establishment
01:22:28.780
oh yeah uh and that's gonna be uh real damaging we'll see how strong uh justice is compared to politics
