The Glenn Beck Program - 'Officially' Addicted To Outrage？ with Dennis Prager- 9⧸18⧸18

00:00:00.000 The Blaze Radio Network, on demand, Glenn Beck.

00:00:08.480 Well, this kind of escalated quickly, didn't it?

00:00:10.580 In four days, Christine Ford went from an anonymous letter writer to willing to testify

00:00:16.580 before the Senate Judiciary Committee, probably the most talked about person in four days.

00:00:23.400 Probably the most talked about person in America yesterday.

00:00:26.420 Now, what a surprise, she's a professor from a university in California who says that

00:00:33.620 the Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, sexually assaulted her at a high school party

00:00:37.940 in 1982.

00:00:39.700 I want to be really, really clear.

00:00:41.880 I don't want to discredit her.

00:00:44.440 I don't want to make a judgment on her or anything else.

00:00:51.140 I want to set the record straight as we know it.

00:00:57.280 She's made a serious accusation, which Kavanaugh unequivocally denies.

00:01:02.080 He said in a statement yesterday,

00:01:03.920 I have never done anything like what the accuser describes to her or anyone.

00:01:09.360 Because this never happened, I have no idea who is making this accusation

00:01:14.100 until she identified herself yesterday.

00:01:17.420 Kavanaugh said he's more than willing to talk to the Senate Judiciary Committee,

00:01:20.520 even though he's already spent four marathon days in the hot seat,

00:01:24.660 where Democrats had every opportunity to grill him, but they failed to do so.

00:01:30.040 Now, Christine Ford lawyer says Ford is also willing to do whatever it takes to get her story forth.

00:01:36.460 To get her story forth.

00:01:38.400 Is that your goal, to get your story out?

00:01:43.480 Or is your goal to find justice?

00:01:47.960 Interesting.

00:01:49.680 She said she's willing to do it no matter what,

00:01:52.440 even if it means testifying before the committee.

00:01:54.820 Democrats, of course, are also willing to do whatever it takes to tell her story,

00:01:58.840 which is probably why we were hurting hearing it in the first place.

00:02:02.120 Ford's lawyer, Deborah Katz, escalated the rhetoric yesterday,

00:02:06.180 calling Kavanaugh's alleged assault attempted rape.

00:02:10.820 Katz seems very convinced of Ford's story.

00:02:15.500 But she wasn't as convinced by one of Bill Clinton's accusers in 1990.

00:02:19.360 Katz told the New York Times in 1998 that she didn't think Paula Jones had a case.

00:02:24.020 She also accused Al Franken's alleged misbehavior

00:02:27.200 because he wasn't a senator at the time of the incident.

00:02:31.340 So it's really interesting.

00:02:33.940 You know, one woman can cry, you know, sexual harassment from a senator,

00:02:40.120 and she didn't have a problem with it.

00:02:42.360 It's interesting.

00:02:43.560 In the Me Too movement, it's kind of a one-way street sometimes.

00:02:49.320 Thus, postmodernism.

00:02:52.600 For now, Judiciary Committee Chairperson Senator Chuck Grassley

00:02:56.820 says the committee's vote on Kavanaugh will go through this Thursday,

00:02:59.960 but not if Senate Democrats can help it.

00:03:02.760 They were out in force yesterday, calling for a delay to the vote,

00:03:05.880 at least until they have full control of Congress.

00:03:09.140 You know, desperate times, desperate measures.

00:03:12.620 It's Tuesday, September 18th.

00:03:19.640 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:03:23.280 So, welcome to the program.

00:03:25.860 Today is September 18th.

00:03:27.020 This is the day that in ways I have dreaded.

00:03:32.680 It's weird because I've worked so hard on this book,

00:03:36.720 and today it is released out in the public, and everyone can read it,

00:03:42.140 and I'm very excited about it.

00:03:44.180 And at the same time, I'm sitting here kind of like, you know,

00:03:47.700 if you've ever watched the greatest, you know,

00:03:50.220 the great British bake show or bake off or whatever that is,

00:03:53.680 when Paul Hollywood is eating something,

00:03:57.360 and then he's just like, and you can't tell if he likes it or not.

00:04:01.640 I kind of feel like that today.

00:04:04.340 So, I urge you to go out today.

00:04:08.060 Oh, me too.

00:04:08.720 And grab it.

00:04:09.380 Yeah, definitely grab it.

00:04:11.000 Because, you know, today's the big day.

00:04:12.800 It's the day we find out if this thing sells like four copies.

00:04:15.580 You've poured your soul into it for like years.

00:04:18.860 And is this going to be a total failure?

00:04:21.280 We don't know.

00:04:22.060 We're going to know today, though.

00:04:24.240 I can't wait to see.

00:04:25.740 Okay.

00:04:26.060 All right.

00:04:26.380 That's not really.

00:04:27.520 Oh, yeah.

00:04:27.840 I'll be watching your reactions.

00:04:29.220 Okay.

00:04:30.040 All right.

00:04:30.260 Thank you, Stu, for the.

00:04:31.460 Okay.

00:04:31.860 Let me, let me, the reason why I bring that up here is because

00:04:35.380 that is the search for our unum.

00:04:38.560 In the book, I talk about, there's about,

00:04:41.720 there's a section where I think it's seven questions that we have to ask

00:04:46.160 ourselves.

00:04:47.020 And it boils down to, is this thing worth saving?

00:04:49.860 Is the Western way of life worth saving?

00:04:53.860 And you have to answer these questions yourself.

00:04:57.060 And if you, if you answer them honestly, you will be able to answer the last

00:05:01.620 question.

00:05:02.280 So is it worth saving?

00:05:03.340 If it is, we have to pay attention and we have to find our unum.

00:05:11.980 Now, our slogan as a nation has always been E Pluribus Unum.

00:05:16.240 Let me take the Brett Kavanaugh thing and put this together.

00:05:20.460 What is our unum?

00:05:22.160 What is it that brought people together?

00:05:24.100 What is it that brought people from all over the world to come here?

00:05:28.440 Was it capitalism?

00:05:30.080 No.

00:05:33.000 Was it the, you know, streets that were paved in gold?

00:05:37.040 No, they don't exist.

00:05:39.400 What was it?

00:05:41.880 It was the idea that this is a place that believes in the individual and the

00:05:47.240 Statue of Liberty represents that brazen giant that is going to stand there as a beacon and

00:05:55.100 protect you from the people who want to keep you down.

00:06:00.060 In America, we have the rule of law.

00:06:02.540 Now, have we always done the rule of law?

00:06:05.180 No.

00:06:05.480 Look, look, look at, look at Jim Crow laws.

00:06:09.120 It's slavery as we were trying to abolish it.

00:06:11.980 So, no, we haven't always lived up to that, but that has been our ideal.

00:06:19.440 So, we were a group of people that said, you know, there's a certain way to live your

00:06:23.440 life, and they happen to find that in the Judeo-Christian laws and writings.

00:06:30.040 The life of Christ, the teachings of Moses, that's what we set ourselves up for.

00:06:35.440 So, now, you're writing a law, what is that law based on?

00:06:42.800 On what society says is right and wrong.

00:06:46.760 And you're just codifying what you believe is fair and just.

00:06:52.420 Now, I'm setting this up this way because I'm going to talk to you about the law here

00:06:56.460 with Brett Kavanaugh.

00:06:58.340 And I know people want to say, well, that's the law.

00:07:00.960 We don't have that standard.

00:07:02.240 Yes, we do.

00:07:03.320 The standard of the law is our societal belief of how things should happen and what's fair

00:07:13.360 and what's just codified.

00:07:15.940 It came from us.

00:07:17.800 It's not this thing that's just floating out there, well, that has nothing to do with me.

00:07:22.740 No, our whole society is supposed to be that way.

00:07:26.960 And we've written it down to make sure it is that way in a court of law.

00:07:33.320 So, here's the story with Brett Kavanaugh.

00:07:36.680 Brett Kavanaugh is, he's gone through his hearing.

00:07:40.700 A woman decides she wants to come out with charges.

00:07:44.540 Let's not judge it for right now.

00:07:46.220 Let's just, let's say she actually believes this happened and Brett Kavanaugh actually believes it didn't happen.

00:07:54.900 Who do we believe?

00:07:57.860 Well, she had a lie detector test.

00:08:00.020 Well, a lie detector test is not scientific.

00:08:02.760 There are ways to beat lie detector test.

00:08:05.940 And in the case of memories, especially one that's 34 years old, you can actually believe that this has happened.

00:08:14.860 But that doesn't mean it did happen.

00:08:17.600 All right.

00:08:20.160 She comes forward and she says, I can't remember where I was.

00:08:24.540 I can't remember what year it was.

00:08:26.800 I think it was in the summer.

00:08:29.420 I don't remember the house.

00:08:31.460 I don't remember how I got there.

00:08:33.560 I don't remember anyone that was involved.

00:08:36.460 But I do remember Brett Kavanaugh.

00:08:38.640 I do remember that he put his hand over my mouth and he tried to grope me over my clothes.

00:08:44.300 I believe he was trying to rape me.

00:08:46.640 I believe he was trying to rape me.

00:08:50.440 Another person was there that I can't identify.

00:08:53.900 She tells years later, 2012, she tells her doctor, her psychiatrist about this.

00:09:01.580 And she says, according to the psychiatrist, that there were four guys involved, which is different than what she's saying now.

00:09:09.780 She says that the psychiatrist got that wrong.

00:09:14.300 Okay, hang on.

00:09:16.260 Which one do we believe?

00:09:17.620 Do we believe her or do we believe the psychiatrist?

00:09:21.040 Because both are being presented as people who are credible witnesses.

00:09:26.000 Did the psychiatrist get it wrong?

00:09:28.540 Because two sounds an awful lot like four.

00:09:31.080 Or did she get it wrong?

00:09:35.500 We don't know.

00:09:36.780 But you have to decide that she is more credible than the credible doctor she is trying to hold up and say, look, I told him about this.

00:09:46.860 Okay.

00:09:48.180 So you have one person who is a chain in this story from 2012.

00:09:55.480 She also has come forward and said, I also told my husband.

00:09:59.960 Okay.

00:10:00.580 So now you've got her husband.

00:10:02.440 We should also point out that in the husband and also to the therapist, the name Kavanaugh was not included.

00:10:09.360 It just said someone from an elite school.

00:10:12.000 Correct.

00:10:12.260 So that's another part of this that's important.

00:10:14.460 Right.

00:10:14.620 And the only one she knows is Brett Kavanaugh.

00:10:18.160 No, she knew the other guy, too.

00:10:19.420 And she named him.

00:10:20.520 And that person also has denied it.

00:10:22.000 Right.

00:10:22.260 And all of their friends denied it on...

00:10:24.540 Yes, 65 people.

00:10:25.720 Yes, 65 people.

00:10:26.560 So that's not who they are.

00:10:29.080 Okay.

00:10:30.060 Maybe it is.

00:10:30.680 Maybe it's not.

00:10:32.540 So now that's what we have.

00:10:34.660 Now on Monday, they're both going to testify in front of Congress.

00:10:38.100 And she's, let's just say, she believes that it happened.

00:10:43.780 And he says, and he believes it didn't happen.

00:10:48.760 Who do we believe?

00:10:51.100 Do we believe the girl, the woman?

00:10:53.980 Because why?

00:10:55.040 She's a woman?

00:10:57.800 Isn't that kind of talking down to women?

00:11:01.740 Oh, well, she's a cute little woman.

00:11:04.060 And they're always so hurt.

00:11:07.420 And she might have been hurt.

00:11:10.100 No.

00:11:11.920 Equal justice.

00:11:14.220 Now, if you want to get into social justice, which is now postmodernism,

00:11:20.180 okay, well, then you have your decision.

00:11:22.700 She is somebody who has been oppressed.

00:11:24.780 She's an oppressed class.

00:11:26.420 He is a cisgender male.

00:11:28.080 So, no.

00:11:29.680 We don't listen to the white man.

00:11:31.700 We listen to the woman.

00:11:32.780 Is that our social contract with each other?

00:11:39.620 So, let me take a break, and I'm going to tell you exactly how to judge this.

00:11:44.580 How do we figure out what's really going on logically, reasonably, without anyone being outraged?

00:11:55.220 Without having to engage in any of that?

00:11:57.560 Because the minute we get angry about it, the minute we start tweeting and getting angry because we feel our back is up against the wall,

00:12:05.980 we add to the chaos that is the goal of the postmodern professor.

00:12:12.420 We add to the chaos which just helps decay our society and the Western way of life.

00:12:19.600 So, we mustn't do that.

00:12:22.520 What we must do is use logic and reason and do not go over the cliff with the rest of humanity.

00:12:29.820 I'll show you how this works next.

00:12:42.840 We're in our Los Angeles studios.

00:12:45.180 I'm out here for the week, and I'm sitting here in this, I think that's a Staples chair, Stu.

00:12:51.120 That's a nice Staples chair, too, isn't it?

00:12:54.820 It's really comfortable.

00:12:56.280 It's super-duper comfortable.

00:12:57.620 Yeah, I know.

00:12:58.160 I'm sitting in this office chair, and I keep reaching back.

00:13:02.440 I told you yesterday, I'm sleeping on this crazy mattress out here, and it's just my back is killing me.

00:13:08.200 I keep reaching back to my chair to try to adjust my chair.

00:13:11.840 I can't.

00:13:12.380 It doesn't have any adjustments on it.

00:13:14.180 So, congratulations.

00:13:16.100 I have found a chair that I absolutely love.

00:13:18.580 They're a sponsor of ours, but I want you to know I'm not going to do a sponsor that I don't believe in.

00:13:23.880 I have this chair, and it's the best for my posture and the best for my lower back, but that's not what it's about.

00:13:33.220 This is just a great office chair.

00:13:36.120 It's called the X Chair, most modern, stylish piece of furniture that you can own.

00:13:49.580 He does all the airport chairs, which are horribly uncomfortable, and I can't remember what the name of it is.

00:13:56.000 They're the most popular worldwide because they're so beautiful.

00:13:59.920 Well, okay, they're not that beautiful, and they also cost you an arm and a leg.

00:14:05.160 Not the X Chair.

00:14:07.600 This is a piece of design that actually works.

00:14:11.800 The design means something.

00:15:25.860 Hello and welcome to the program.

00:15:28.220 Let me talk to you a little bit about civil and criminal law.

00:15:33.760 It is based now on our societal norms.

00:15:37.000 We have a court system, and we know that we don't want to put innocent people behind bars, right?

00:15:43.720 So we have, you're innocent until proven guilty, and to vote guilty on a jury, you have to be beyond a reasonable doubt.

00:15:53.720 Now, people will say, well, this isn't a court of law.

00:15:57.180 Well, we have societal norms, and right now, you're talking about destroying a man's life, destroying it.

00:16:07.220 But he is always, if he does not go on, he will always be known, and I believe he's already going to be known by some, as a rapist.

00:16:18.680 That's a pretty big black mark.

00:16:23.100 Just as heavy as going to prison.

00:16:26.480 So beyond a reasonable doubt.

00:16:28.560 Now, if you're somebody who says Brett Kavanaugh is guilty, beyond a reasonable doubt, may I ask what you are basing that on?

00:16:35.420 Because what we have is one witness, one person, who is making this charge.

00:16:42.480 There's only one.

00:16:44.340 Maybe now two.

00:16:46.300 Another woman apparently is coming forward and said, I was there too.

00:16:49.680 Well, wait a minute.

00:16:51.000 If that's true, then that goes against what the first woman has said the whole time.

00:16:56.900 It was just her.

00:16:59.140 So, is there another witness?

00:17:01.960 And does that hurt the credibility?

00:17:03.740 There's no detail, there's no place, no year, how she got there, how she got home.

00:17:10.000 My mother died when I was 15.

00:17:12.620 I can tell you the date, the year, what school I was in, what class I was in, when I found out.

00:17:22.380 I can tell you how I got to school.

00:17:24.540 I can tell you everything about that day.

00:17:27.960 Because it made an impact.

00:17:29.360 Are you really telling me that a woman who felt she was raped, she cannot tell you what year it happened in?

00:17:38.480 She can't tell you what house, where it happened?

00:17:41.640 You should be able to describe the wallpaper.

00:17:45.140 You should know exactly what it is because you were traumatized by it.

00:17:49.660 Okay, so beyond a reasonable doubt, innocent until proven guilty.

00:17:56.080 But let's just say you're one of those people say, well, that's criminal court.

00:17:59.560 Okay, let's go to the lower court.

00:18:01.800 Let's go to the civil court.

00:18:03.460 This is the one that doesn't need all the evidence.

00:18:06.580 This is the one that convicted O.J. Simpson.

00:18:09.180 Okay, beyond a reasonable doubt, they had enough.

00:18:13.060 If it doesn't fit, you've got to acquit.

00:18:15.380 So they let a guy that we all now know and admit, he killed his wife.

00:18:21.280 Reasonable doubt.

00:18:22.320 Okay.

00:18:22.860 Very high standard.

00:18:24.700 Let's go to the civil court.

00:18:26.260 Civil court is the preponderance of evidence.

00:18:31.260 May I ask what the evidence is?

00:18:33.200 The evidence is one person's word against another.

00:18:41.320 Why does this matter?

00:18:44.560 Why does this matter that we do not judge and destroy based on one person's word against another?

00:18:53.860 Even if that person is wildly credible, even if that person is the Pope, Pope Francis shows up and he's like, I was there.

00:19:01.720 I saw it.

00:19:03.820 Why do we not take one person's word?

00:19:09.920 Because depending on how you feel about that person, if you think the person who did it is a madman who's trying to take away all birth control, and the accuser is the Pope who is just the greatest, he's hung the moon and the stars, now it's a personality contest.

00:19:28.680 That's not justice.

00:19:30.940 That's not evidence.

00:19:33.200 And the reason why this is important is, may I ask you, do you want someone to be able to do this to you?

00:19:41.420 Do you want somebody to say, when I was in high school, you did, you raped me, and you will forever be branded as a rapist?

00:19:53.820 The answer to all Americans is, no, you don't want that standard.

00:19:59.040 You mustn't, therefore, deviate from our societal standards.

00:20:03.480 Glenn Beck, Mercury.

00:20:04.940 We continue to talk about the Brett Kavanaugh thing, but in a different way than being outraged.

00:20:17.500 This is what my book that came out today, it's available now, Addicted to Outrage, is about.

00:20:23.720 Without surrender, how do we change the dialogue?

00:20:29.020 I'm not going to back away from this Brett Kavanaugh thing.

00:20:33.980 I'm not going to back away from him.

00:20:35.820 I'm not going to accept something that I think is unreasonable.

00:20:39.580 But what society is doing right now is pitting two personalities or two parties against each other.

00:20:46.920 You get nowhere except anger and chaos.

00:20:50.960 That's what you're headed for.

00:20:52.840 So how do we change the dialogue?

00:20:56.920 We have to disconnect from what society is pushing, and we have to look for the bigger principle, the unum, the thing that brought us together in the first place.

00:21:06.200 And that is the rule of law and a fair society or a society that tries to be fair.

00:21:14.680 When you start looking at it that way and start arguing about it that way and you start asking your friends, would you want to be judged on this standard?

00:21:22.840 I know you believe her, but based on what?

00:21:26.300 Based on what?

00:21:27.580 And that's an important point to bring up in that this is being shown as like, okay, everyone aligns on parties here, right?

00:21:35.120 There's lots of Republicans saying Kavanaugh didn't do it and lots of Democrats saying that he did, right?

00:21:40.340 But these are not equal cases.

00:21:42.360 There are a million reasons to be skeptical of her claim.

00:21:46.260 It was years and years ago.

00:21:47.900 She can't remember any of the key details.

00:21:49.960 In the only piece of evidence she has, when she told her therapist, the number of assailants is wrong and Kavanaugh wasn't named.

00:21:57.560 You know, she brings it up, and most importantly, she brings it up in the middle of what is quite possibly the most important sexual assault claim in United States history.

00:22:10.540 We're talking about derailing a Supreme Court justice over it.

00:22:13.360 I mean, you can argue what Clarence Thomas, maybe Bill Clinton.

00:22:16.660 There's a couple that fall into this, but there's very few that would arise at this level.

00:22:21.100 And not only that, it is given to the opposing party two months ago.

00:22:26.960 They hold it.

00:22:27.640 If they hold it, if they felt this was credible, they would have taken it forward.

00:22:33.460 Right.

00:22:33.840 And just human nature, right?

00:22:36.180 When a claim comes up at the absolute best time to knock down one of the biggest things happening in American politics, you start with skepticism, right?

00:22:48.680 So just that is enough, I think, for everybody, if you took parties out of it, to understand you start here with some skepticism.

00:22:57.040 It doesn't mean a claim of assault shouldn't be taken seriously, as we all know.

00:23:00.900 However, on the other side of this, if you're a Democrat and you say, I believe her, you have absolutely nothing to support that.

00:23:07.500 There is not any, unless you have individual personal dealings with this woman and you found her credible over a long period of time.

00:23:16.300 Something that, by the way, they throw out all the time during Me Too, when we had, you know, like we talked about this with Bill O'Reilly.

00:23:24.400 Like we had a long-term relationship with Bill that we had seen him in many different scenarios.

00:23:30.140 And it didn't seem like these things were things that he would have done.

00:23:33.980 But even, but they dismiss that evidence, whatever evidence do you think that's worth, they dismiss that immediately.

00:23:39.420 But even that, I don't have 100% faith.

00:23:43.020 No.

00:23:43.940 I'm beyond a reasonable doubt.

00:23:45.700 As we said to Bill on the air.

00:23:46.380 Right.

00:23:46.700 I'm beyond a reasonable doubt.

00:23:48.340 You could present evidence and I could go, Bill, really?

00:23:52.040 Yeah.

00:23:52.300 And if the new evidence popped up, right, like you go into it.

00:23:54.700 But my point, though, is that unless you know this woman, you have nothing.

00:23:58.940 You have absolutely nothing.

00:24:01.020 And here you are claiming that you believe this person.

00:24:04.980 You can't believe this person with the information we have now.

00:24:08.340 Evidence may come out that may convince you.

00:24:11.040 But there is nothing on the public record that is convincing at this point.

00:24:14.520 It is only partisanship on that side of the argument.

00:24:16.860 Okay.

00:24:17.300 Here's what I, would you do me a favor?

00:24:18.900 Look up the Statue of Libertations for sexual assault in Maryland.

00:24:22.040 That's where this apparently happened.

00:24:24.960 Okay.

00:24:25.400 Yeah.

00:24:25.560 So we have, let's see.

00:24:28.140 So there's two standards.

00:24:29.960 And I think, of course, you'd see the parties align among these two standards.

00:24:33.320 If it's felony sexual offense, then there is no statute of limitations.

00:24:37.040 Well, what is a felony sexual offense?

00:24:38.580 He touched her over the clothes.

00:24:40.900 That is what was the, right.

00:24:42.020 So, I mean, I would, especially as a, what, 17-year-old, were they?

00:24:46.220 As a 17-year-old, I would assume that this, even as described, if accurate, would be a misdemeanor offense,

00:24:51.440 which would only have a one-year statute of limitations.

00:24:54.340 Now, let me go back, and I'm going to argue principle.

00:24:57.240 Let's not bring in Kavanaugh.

00:24:59.580 Let's not bring in the politics of this.

00:25:01.940 Let's just focus on our unum, the principle that brings us all together, a fair and just society.

00:25:10.140 Why do statute of limitations exist?

00:25:12.960 They exist because it is a well-known and established fact that memories change.

00:25:22.780 Also, people change.

00:25:25.860 Depending on how you murder somebody, you rape somebody, there is no statute of limitations.

00:25:30.780 But she is not claiming rape.

00:25:33.220 So, the statute of limitations in the state is one year.

00:25:40.820 We are now looking back 37 years.

00:25:44.640 37 years.

00:25:46.220 We have to look at her memory, his memory.

00:25:50.440 We have to look at the facts.

00:25:53.020 Well, there are no facts.

00:25:55.240 This is why I wrote in my journal today, you must alert the police, another societal norm.

00:26:04.680 You must alert the police.

00:26:06.960 Well, if I was raped, I don't want people to know it.

00:26:09.940 Okay, then write it down in your diary.

00:26:13.000 This is not talking about the past.

00:26:14.840 This is talking about right now.

00:26:16.420 What we need to do to fix this society is write these things down right now.

00:26:23.000 If something happened to you last night, write it down.

00:26:26.180 Tell a friend.

00:26:27.380 Tell a couple of friends.

00:26:28.780 People that you can trust.

00:26:30.420 Tell the police is the right answer.

00:26:33.700 Always.

00:26:35.080 However, because, you know, maybe you're not ready.

00:26:39.520 Maybe there's other reasons.

00:26:41.180 You must at least write everything down.

00:26:44.920 And I was, you know, especially today, you need to put it somewhere where it can be time-stamped

00:26:49.780 with every detail.

00:26:52.140 I don't know.

00:26:53.140 Honestly, it's got to be the police.

00:26:55.360 It's got to be the police.

00:26:56.200 And I understand that that's very difficult.

00:26:58.200 But I hope this is what we can achieve with Me Too.

00:27:00.820 Right.

00:27:01.080 We can all talk about how, well, I'm glad we got Harvey Weinstein in trouble because he

00:27:04.700 was a dirtbag many years ago.

00:27:05.760 And we can look back and all that stuff looking back.

00:27:07.400 I'm not going to say it's not important.

00:27:08.740 It is.

00:27:09.140 If someone committed a crime, they should be held responsible.

00:27:11.920 But going forward, hopefully the acceptance of Me Too and people encouraging it and obviously

00:27:20.280 thinking that it's a very positive development for people who did these crimes, hopefully

00:27:25.020 that cures the idea that you can't go to the cops.

00:27:27.600 Because if you go to the cops, we can get evidence.

00:27:29.780 We can look into it.

00:27:30.680 We can see.

00:27:31.180 People get a chance to defend themselves.

00:27:33.400 People get a chance to make the accusations with real evidence to support it.

00:27:36.520 And we can actually figure out who did these things.

00:27:39.720 Now, here's the problem.

00:27:41.240 This is why this makes a difference.

00:27:43.660 How old was Brett Kavanaugh?

00:27:45.580 How old was he when this happened?

00:27:46.740 17.

00:27:47.880 Right.

00:27:48.020 They think he's 17, but she cannot remember the year.

00:27:51.520 Yeah.

00:27:51.660 She said she thinks it is sophomore year.

00:27:55.000 She thinks.

00:27:55.500 And she thinks it was 1982.

00:27:58.040 Okay.

00:27:58.360 She thinks.

00:27:59.000 She certainly can't get the month right, which is really tough for a defense, right?

00:28:02.520 If Brett Kavanaugh went on vacation to Europe for six weeks in the summer she's talking about,

00:28:08.540 it would still mean nothing to the case because she'd say it happened in one of the other

00:28:11.620 weeks.

00:28:12.140 So, I mean, there's literally no way he could defend this claim.

00:28:15.140 Um, so he's 17, could be 16, could be 18, could be 15.

00:28:22.460 We have no idea.

00:28:24.140 She does not remember the year.

00:28:25.920 She doesn't remember the month.

00:28:28.880 Let's just say he's 17.

00:28:31.320 If it is a sexual assault, not felony, misdemeanor over the clothes, what, what does that mean?

00:28:40.680 It means most likely he would be tried as a juvenile.

00:28:43.980 Now, why do we have juvenile court?

00:28:47.160 We have juvenile court for this one reason, because we, as a society, feel that people

00:28:55.140 make mistakes and they even do things like murder.

00:29:00.300 And it needs to be tried as a child.

00:29:03.920 It needs to be tried as someone under 18, because even murder, our society feels, let's not destroy

00:29:14.900 their whole life.

00:29:16.200 Let's give them a chance because we all make mistakes.

00:29:19.260 I mean, I didn't murder anybody, but that's the most extreme case.

00:29:23.180 We all make mistakes.

00:29:24.600 It shouldn't haunt them the rest of the world or the rest of their lives.

00:29:27.820 So what happens to that record?

00:29:29.640 It's sealed.

00:29:31.340 Why is it sealed?

00:29:33.220 Because we know the pasts of your childhood, the past and the mistakes that you made at

00:29:41.200 17 and under can be opened up and used against you when that was something that doesn't represent

00:29:49.220 who you are at this time.

00:29:52.700 It's very unfair to anyone.

00:29:56.980 Accuser, the victim and the perpetrator.

00:30:01.960 If you're a kid and you're not allowed your day in court with real evidence close up to

00:30:11.080 it a year in in in Maryland, so, you know, all of the details, you can go and reconstruct

00:30:17.940 it 37 years later, you can't.

00:30:20.840 So we have the statute of limitations.

00:30:23.400 We also have criminal justice.

00:30:25.420 We also have sealed documents.

00:30:27.440 And why do we seal those documents?

00:30:29.640 Those documents can be seen if you start to murder people again.

00:30:38.460 But not by the public.

00:30:42.400 We believe as a society, and this is why we codified this, that what you do as a kid, as

00:30:49.280 long as you've changed your way, you go to jail.

00:30:52.820 Why punishment?

00:30:54.360 But also to change your ways in hopes that you will get out and you will be a better person

00:31:01.480 that never does that again.

00:31:03.300 Everyone in his life, everyone in his life says, that's not him.

00:31:09.420 That's not him.

00:31:10.280 I've dated him.

00:31:11.700 I dated him at the time.

00:31:13.420 That's not him.

00:31:14.560 He wouldn't do that.

00:31:16.700 All indications.

00:31:18.040 He lives an honorable life.

00:31:21.520 Well, isn't that what we want from our justice system?

00:31:25.720 Justice didn't happen back then because she didn't report it for whatever reason.

00:31:33.380 No blame on her.

00:31:34.500 She just didn't report it.

00:31:36.240 You lose the ability to inflict or to demand justice on some things if you don't report it.

00:31:50.920 So now, we're taking a guy who, if she would have reported it, would have served his time,

00:31:59.300 would have changed, which he did, lived a clean life.

00:32:04.100 Would it be fair for us to unseal those documents and say, oh, by the way, did you know that he

00:32:11.900 murdered someone?

00:32:13.720 Did you know that he raped someone?

00:32:17.300 That's not what she's charging.

00:32:20.420 She's charging sexual assault, which would have been handled by the courts.

00:32:26.880 He would have paid his price.

00:32:28.680 He would have hopefully changed and led the life that he has led.

00:32:34.140 What justice has done here?

00:32:37.080 Seriously, what justice has done?

00:32:38.860 If it was something that had no statute of limitations, rape, murder, maybe you could argue it.

00:32:49.300 Maybe.

00:32:52.360 But the part of the point of justice is to rehabilitate.

00:32:58.520 There's no indication he's ever been, he's not, he's like this.

00:33:03.160 No indication.

00:33:04.740 No, no.

00:33:05.540 And, you know, it's a, it's a situation where you have, you have a person who's gone through,

00:33:10.860 you know, this is, this is obviously, I mean, this is a guy who had never dealt with any of

00:33:14.400 this stuff.

00:33:14.740 He was not a political figure.

00:33:15.980 He's not an elected official.

00:33:17.280 So his family has never dealt with any of this.

00:33:19.440 And all of a sudden, you know, he's being called a rapist with no evidence at all.

00:33:22.980 And, you know, the reason why you want to, you want to go to the police and have a legal

00:33:26.720 view of these things early is because you can find evidence and prove things, prove.

00:33:31.560 Remember the word, prove.

00:33:32.940 Has this woman proved anything?

00:33:34.880 I mean, it's insane to think that.

00:33:36.360 She hasn't presented any reason, unless you know her personally, maybe, and just find her

00:33:41.060 credible, that, that, that you would believe her.

00:33:43.320 And what is the, what is the, what is the hearing on Monday going to do?

00:33:46.600 And it's just a, here's a public performance test.

00:33:49.360 That's it.

00:33:49.720 Will Kavanaugh stumble?

00:33:50.620 Will he say the thing, something the wrong way and phrase something?

00:33:52.980 Will she cry?

00:33:54.340 Will he be sweating?

00:33:55.700 And now that Supreme Court seat is going to come down to a little performance theater.

00:33:58.900 It's insane.

00:33:59.660 Those, that is not evidence.

00:34:02.740 That is not evidence.

00:34:06.540 You, ask yourself and ask your neighbors, do you want this standard?

00:34:14.260 And they'll say, well, I didn't, doesn't matter.

00:34:17.660 Because we seem to be in an ever changing world.

00:34:20.820 Do you want this for you or your children?

00:34:26.880 The answer, anyone who answers honestly will say no.

00:34:31.640 That's our unum.

00:34:34.180 CarShield is our sponsor this half hour.

00:34:36.040 CarShield is the best place.

00:34:37.880 I mean, CarShield is insurance really for your car that when it breaks down, you don't have to worry about it.

00:34:45.260 I took my car in last year.

00:34:47.280 It's a truck up at the farm.

00:34:48.960 Took it in, I don't know, eight months ago, a year ago.

00:34:52.100 And I brought it in for an oil change.

00:34:55.940 That's it.

00:34:56.440 Just an oil change.

00:34:57.200 Come back, and I think it was a $6,000 or $7,000 bill.

00:35:03.440 The reason why I don't know the exact price, I don't remember it, is because I didn't have to pay it.

00:35:08.740 I just remember going, wait, what?

00:35:11.560 And they said, don't call me.

00:35:13.540 Call CarShield.

00:35:14.280 Yeah, call CarShield.

00:35:15.640 Have you called CarShield?

00:35:16.740 They covered that.

00:35:17.860 It's because they cover the things that are really expensive in today's world that when they go bad, you don't want to pay for.

00:35:27.700 They do.

00:35:29.040 Now, deductibles may apply, depending on what's going on, and not everything is covered, obviously.

00:35:33.720 But if you have a car that doesn't have a warranty anymore, get your car covered by CarShield.

00:35:38.500 Believe me, one time, one time, it's all worth it.

00:36:05.320 In the book Addicted to Outrage, which comes out today, I talk a little bit about China and what they're doing now with monitoring their citizens

00:36:13.820 and what they are officially launching nationwide in 2020.

00:36:18.620 And it's terrifying.

00:36:19.300 It's already happening.

00:36:20.860 People are already going to jail.

00:36:22.440 People are already being oppressed.

00:36:24.220 They've rounded up a million people and put them behind bars, and they're building more re-education camps.

00:36:31.960 And it's all based on an algorithm of who you are.

00:36:37.400 Well, that algorithm is already here in America.

00:36:41.180 So far, the government's not doing anything about it, but we have it.

00:36:46.100 And I want to show it to you when we come back.

00:36:49.800 Hey, it's Glenn, and you're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:36:53.220 If you like what you're hearing on this show, make sure you check out Pat Gray Unleashed.

00:36:57.820 It's available wherever you download your favorite podcasts.

00:37:02.160 Glenn Beck.

00:37:05.380 Okay, how's this for some comedy?

00:37:07.260 You ready?

00:37:08.160 A crass, hacky, feminist comedian visits a crabby, delusional millionaire.

00:37:13.820 Let's say he's, uh, I don't know.

00:37:16.060 I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just brainstorming here.

00:37:18.560 Throwing stuff up.

00:37:19.800 Uh, let's say he's 77 years old and, uh, and he's in government and he is a Marxist

00:37:29.540 that wants to turn the United States into land of Che Guevara, uh, you know, and free money.

00:37:33.960 It's so far, this is really good, right?

00:37:37.000 Now, who do we get?

00:37:38.480 Uh, let's see.

00:37:39.200 We could get, um, Roseanne Barnaud, Sarah Silverman, oh, and Bernie Sanders.

00:37:47.660 So, uh, so Silverman meets Sanders as part of a, let's say she's doing a new show.

00:37:56.980 And they meet at the, the Senate office building where all these senators are there, including

00:38:02.900 Bernie Sanders, and they start to do an interview.

00:38:05.840 Listen, this is how it goes.

00:38:07.060 We can't even use dirty words.

00:38:08.940 This is the United States Senate.

00:38:10.360 I can't?

00:38:11.520 No, it's the United States Senate.

00:38:12.640 We, we, we just, um, starve little children.

00:38:16.520 We go bomb houses and buses of children.

00:38:20.520 We give tax breaks to believe that's what we don't use dirty words.

00:38:23.000 No, not the S word.

00:38:24.660 That means poop.

00:38:26.160 That's right.

00:38:26.580 We don't do that.

00:38:26.960 Okay.

00:38:30.640 See where I'm going with this?

00:38:31.760 See where I'm going?

00:38:32.880 Okay.

00:38:33.240 So he's talking about, you know, we starve children to death and we, and we bomb people.

00:38:37.100 And it's so, it's so funny.

00:38:38.720 Then at some point I see in this scene, now we just, just go with me this.

00:38:42.280 I'm just throwing it out there.

00:38:44.100 Uh, she, uh, uh, Sandra says, use your indoor voice cause you're too loud.

00:38:49.700 Okay.

00:38:50.740 And, uh, and then he says, we can't even use these dirty words as United States Senate.

00:38:54.340 I can't.

00:38:55.480 No, of course not.

00:38:56.560 We just starve children.

00:38:57.820 And, uh, and, uh, and we blow up buses of children.

00:39:01.260 Cause remember when we did that?

00:39:02.580 Oh, it'd be so funny when people remember how we blow up buses of children.

00:39:06.420 Uh, and then we give tax breaks to billionaires and stuff like that.

00:39:09.480 Boy, this is going to be, I'm giving this to you as my free gift, America.

00:39:14.340 If you're a comedian, maybe you're, maybe you're Sarah Silverman, celebrity voice impersonated.

00:39:19.320 Uh, and, and maybe you want to do this.

00:39:23.260 I think, correct me if I'm wrong.

00:39:25.760 I think there's a lot of money to be made off of the hatred for Donald Trump.

00:39:31.100 I just think you could just get rich right now.

00:39:34.340 You know, maybe Borat could do that.

00:39:37.020 Oh, I know Michelle Wolf.

00:39:39.500 Now, now she did it.

00:39:43.180 She's not funny.

00:39:44.180 And then she'd probably get a show and then be canceled right away.

00:39:46.320 Okay.

00:39:46.900 Scratch the Michelle Wolf idea, but pretty much everybody else.

00:39:51.180 I mean, imagine, imagine if they used all this talent and energy trying to find ways to

00:39:57.720 actually be funny, what they could accomplish.

00:40:03.220 It's Tuesday, September 18th.

00:40:05.840 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:40:07.720 Do you think that's, do you think that's much different than what Bernie Sanders actually

00:40:18.940 believes?

00:40:20.200 Um, no.

00:40:21.100 Yeah.

00:40:21.440 I don't either.

00:40:21.960 Not at all.

00:40:22.840 Not either.

00:40:23.860 Yeah.

00:40:24.280 That's pretty much it.

00:40:25.060 I mean, it's interesting.

00:40:26.300 This is a good moment, I guess, for this because you have been saying this forever and I think

00:40:30.940 you laid out in the book really well.

00:40:32.180 I think a lot, and a lot of people understandably have not, uh, been able to get on the same

00:40:38.320 page with you on this.

00:40:39.680 I'm putting that gently.

00:40:40.760 Yeah.

00:40:40.960 You're talking about addicted to outrage available everywhere today.

00:40:44.080 Go buy a copy.

00:40:44.840 Yes.

00:40:45.400 Uh, people translate when you're talking about, uh, changing the way we speak, changing the

00:40:53.340 way we attempt to win people over to our point of view or to just converse with them.

00:40:59.680 Um, people see that as a surrender, right?

00:41:02.940 You're just, you're just giving up.

00:41:04.160 You're surrendering the letter to keep hitting you in the face.

00:41:06.180 And when you hear things like this Bernie Sanders clip today, uh, I mean, it really highlights

00:41:11.580 it.

00:41:12.420 This is not a person who's looking to find common ground with you on the bill of rights.

00:41:17.540 Right.

00:41:17.720 This is not a person who's looking to say, you know what?

00:41:20.000 Capitalism's pretty darn good.

00:41:21.060 And we've come a long way.

00:41:22.040 This is a person who wants to tear down the foundations of this country.

00:41:25.180 I want you to know, I don't include anybody in Washington in that.

00:41:28.180 And, and what I'm saying about, Hey, we got to come back together.

00:41:30.860 We have to find our unum.

00:41:32.080 I don't include anyone in Washington because if they actually believed in the bill of rights

00:41:36.080 and the constitution, they would take their oath seriously and they'd already be protecting

00:41:39.440 it, but they're not protecting or defending.

00:41:41.480 They're tearing it apart.

00:41:42.880 So I don't include people, uh, in politics.

00:41:46.120 I also wouldn't include people who, uh, are, you know, radical Marxists, uh, who are, are,

00:41:54.460 uh, openly moving us down the postmodern war, uh, world.

00:42:00.240 You know, if you, if you're going down that road, the postmodernist goal is deconstruction to

00:42:08.100 deconstruct the Western world.

00:42:10.600 My thought is I'm looking for the people who don't want to do that, or maybe at some point

00:42:18.920 did, but it was more in theory.

00:42:21.760 And now they're seeing, Oh my gosh, everything is going to be taken apart.

00:42:26.980 I mean, there's not going to be society that the line keeps moving.

00:42:31.260 I, we had dinner last night in a private place with, uh, I would say a fairly famous person

00:42:39.660 last night.

00:42:40.240 Would you say that somebody that pretty much everybody knows, um, didn't have it in a public

00:42:45.980 place because it wouldn't go well for him, you know, just for you or me, uh, it just wouldn't

00:42:53.160 go well.

00:42:53.700 Um, however, now I'm not sure if this person means it because this person is a somebody

00:43:03.780 way on the other side has been, but spoke of, and not using these words, pivot points, pivot

00:43:12.160 points of seeing my son born and seeing what's happening in the world, seeing my son go to

00:43:20.840 school and then go on, wait a minute, wait a minute, this isn't right.

00:43:25.180 Seeing my son.

00:43:26.280 I mean, I don't know how many times this person said, there's not going to be a country left

00:43:31.620 for my son because it's all coming undone.

00:43:35.400 And I said to this person, yeah, it's kind of hard not to say, yeah, that's what you were

00:43:43.700 trying to do.

00:43:45.760 Uh, and the person again, talked about pivot points.

00:43:48.520 That person I can have a conversation with.

00:43:52.660 I don't necessarily know if I'm going to embrace because I don't know who's playing a game and

00:43:58.900 who's not, but I'm willing to have conversations with and then watch actions.

00:44:04.800 And this person said, we've been taking apart the columns and arguing about the columns of

00:44:12.580 the structure the whole time.

00:44:15.000 And none of us have paid any attention to the foundation and everything in me, everything

00:44:21.800 in me wanted to stand up from the table and say, uh, I've been talking about the foundation,

00:44:28.620 the principles of the bill of rights and the constitution.

00:44:31.660 And so have millions of others for years, but nobody wanted to talk about that, but I didn't.

00:44:39.840 Instead, I said, you're exactly right.

00:44:42.320 So what is, what is that foundation?

00:44:46.560 Well, a bill of rights in the constitution.

00:44:48.620 I didn't need to point at him and do that.

00:44:53.080 He was already there.

00:44:56.800 Those are the people and those people are going to become more and more common now, not in

00:45:02.960 the political realm and not those who see everything through the eyes of politics, but I do believe

00:45:10.440 more will wake up.

00:45:12.340 Um, this person said, I mean, I, I don't want to, I don't want to quote this person at

00:45:17.600 all.

00:45:17.840 Can you characterize it all the things when we were standing in the kitchen and we're

00:45:22.720 all like, uh, are you willing to say that out loud?

00:45:28.200 Yeah, we should, we should be careful here.

00:45:30.140 Um, but many of the complaints I would say that the right has had, uh, over, uh, you know,

00:45:37.780 a myriad, uh, over a myriad of issues, um, were echoed from someone prominent on the

00:45:47.260 other side.

00:45:48.140 And it was, it, there's a common frustration, I think, between, you know, this audience and

00:45:53.820 a lot of people who look at the way, uh, the world has been twisted, uh, and, and the

00:46:02.360 line that is moving every day, what you said, you know, for instance, Obama was not pro gay

00:46:11.800 marriage.

00:46:13.200 It was Joe Biden that forced him into that position, right?

00:46:18.640 So he wasn't pro gay marriage.

00:46:21.480 He probably was, but he was, that was not willing to say it.

00:46:24.020 Right now, Barack Obama should be viewed as in a postmodern world as an oppressor because

00:46:33.720 he wasn't for gay marriage.

00:46:36.100 If, if you say something today and the standard from the postmodern left moves, you now have

00:46:44.760 to be 100% in locks lockstep and you now have to adopt that one too.

00:46:49.820 And this one and the next one and the next one, and it's constantly moving.

00:46:54.160 That's not reasonable.

00:46:55.540 Yeah.

00:46:55.960 And you go into this a lot in the book.

00:46:58.020 Um, uh, but it, it's, it's like the, the, the philosophical underpinnings of all the weirdness,

00:47:06.240 right?

00:47:06.980 Like, you know how you could just get, if you're like, what are you, what are you talking about?

00:47:09.540 You need a safe space.

00:47:10.740 What are you talking about?

00:47:11.680 You need, uh, you're, there's 180 genders.

00:47:15.080 What do you mean?

00:47:15.820 What this, what, where did this come from?

00:47:17.340 Why all of a sudden, if, if I'm in 2016, uh, I'm the worst hate monger in the universe

00:47:23.980 for opposing gay marriage.

00:47:25.440 But in 2000, you know, 11, you know, Barack Obama, the most liberal guy, uh, you know,

00:47:32.120 the president of the United States ran, he, remember he ran to the left of Hillary Clinton

00:47:35.420 when he won in 2008.

00:47:37.260 And, and he was, he said marriage is between a man and a woman.

00:47:40.820 How in that short of a period of time, can it go from completely acceptable for a hard

00:47:46.680 left person in our mainstream politics, Barack Obama, to have that position.

00:47:51.140 And then on, and then just a few years later, it's insane for anyone.

00:47:55.640 In fact, you can't even be a liberal and, and hold the position Barack Obama had five

00:48:00.260 years earlier, let alone a conservative.

00:48:02.660 And that, that, that is so jarring to everyone.

00:48:05.620 And it feels like the whole world is spinning out of control.

00:48:08.960 And we do one of a couple of different things.

00:48:10.820 We get really annoyed at it, outraged, right?

00:48:13.620 We laugh at it and mock it.

00:48:15.620 And those are understandable impulses, but the book outlines what the philosophy is behind

00:48:21.620 why that's happening.

00:48:23.140 It's intentional.

00:48:24.440 And why, I mean, I, I, I can say this now in the strongest terms and I can back it up.

00:48:29.980 You and Pat always were like, I, you know, Glenn, I love the heart of this.

00:48:34.780 I love it, but I just feel like I'm, it's a surrender.

00:48:38.160 Now I can fully say, cause it's, it took two years of research, uh, and, and trying to line

00:48:44.600 it all up.

00:48:45.780 It's not a surrender.

00:48:47.680 It's a path to win.

00:48:49.740 It's a path to save the Republic.

00:48:52.960 It's not a surrender.

00:48:54.220 You do not change your principles.

00:48:57.280 You do not stop engaging.

00:49:00.400 You, you engage differently.

00:49:03.860 Okay.

00:49:04.620 You have to begin to engage differently.

00:49:07.300 And if you understand the underlying philosophy of postmodernism, what is it in a nutshell?

00:49:13.940 It's deconstruct.

00:49:16.100 Deconstruct what?

00:49:17.580 Everything about the Western way of life, all the hierarchy, all the patriarchy, everything,

00:49:24.280 science, mathematics, don't get angry.

00:49:27.800 When somebody says math is racist, don't be confused.

00:49:32.100 Of course, it's racist to them because their job, their philosophy is to deconstruct anything

00:49:41.000 that helps prop up or build the Western way of life.

00:49:45.140 That includes math.

00:49:46.740 So you've got to take math and science out.

00:49:50.120 And that's what's scaring so many people who were Uber left.

00:49:55.520 They thought there would be reason, but there's never reason in radicals like this.

00:50:01.000 There's never reason.

00:50:02.120 This is why communism always ends the same way.

00:50:05.440 We have a guy who's on our podcast this weekend, Michael Reckenwald.

00:50:10.560 Amazing.

00:50:11.940 He was a communist.

00:50:13.860 He was a communist postmodernist professor.

00:50:17.680 Now, he deconstructed the English language and literature, but he wasn't, he didn't buy

00:50:25.380 into the whole postmodernism crap.

00:50:28.140 He tolerated it and understood it and used it in some cases.

00:50:32.360 But he was a, he describes himself as a libertarian communist.

00:50:37.320 I asked him, what the hell is a libertarian?

00:50:39.760 That's not possible.

00:50:40.680 It's an oxymoron.

00:50:41.620 He said, no, it's a communist in theory.

00:50:44.260 I think we can do it right next time.

00:50:46.660 He said, but as I see what's happening now, I realize we're not going to do it right.

00:50:52.480 This is going to end in millions dead.

00:50:54.880 If we just lump everyone together and we're swinging back at people who are trying to deconstruct

00:51:03.260 and cause chaos, we lose our principles.

00:51:07.840 We lose our reason, which is what they're trying to destroy.

00:51:11.580 Reason, science, thinking things through.

00:51:14.560 If you're angry, you cannot reason.

00:51:17.780 Reason, and you've got to reason.

00:51:21.080 And if you don't, if you just lash back, you actually aid the enemy in trying to destroy

00:51:28.840 us.

00:51:29.760 So like last hour, we talked about Brett Kavanaugh.

00:51:32.700 I showed you how to argue for Brett Kavanaugh, but it's not arguing for Brett Kavanaugh.

00:51:37.360 It's not picking a side.

00:51:38.860 It's showing what brought us together in the first place, which is our principle of fair

00:51:44.760 and equal justice.

00:51:47.580 We all want to live in a fair society.

00:51:49.800 We all want justice.

00:51:51.540 Okay, so let's apply those principles to the Judge Kavanaugh mess.

00:51:58.480 How do we navigate through those principles?

00:52:02.520 That is not surrender.

00:52:05.300 That is the winning path.

00:52:07.200 The path we're on now is swing back and call them names.

00:52:12.960 That is the path to chaos.

00:52:15.920 You can read all about this.

00:52:17.480 The book went on sale today.

00:52:19.060 It's in bookstores everywhere.

00:52:20.640 I urge you to pick it up.

00:52:23.540 Share it with a friend.

00:52:24.680 It has been written in a way that should appeal to anybody who is reasonable.

00:52:31.400 Even if they don't like me, they, I think, will be able to tolerate this enough because

00:52:38.120 I wrote it with them in mind and you in mind.

00:52:41.500 So it's a very different book, different than anything else I've ever written.

00:52:45.500 And I believe in this path of not, I hate to say the word winning, the saving the West, saving

00:52:56.940 our children, because that's what it's about.

00:52:59.640 All right.

00:53:00.260 Sponsor this half hour is my Patriot supply.

00:53:02.160 You know, one of the reasons, one of the reasons why we couldn't we didn't do anything in Puerto

00:53:10.880 Rico is not because of the president and not because we don't see them as Americans, but

00:53:15.380 because there were three major hurricanes and a massive wildfire in California all in the

00:53:22.800 same summer and FEMA had nothing left.

00:53:26.800 No scenario that FEMA has ever put together includes three major hurricanes and a major

00:53:33.340 wildfire.

00:53:34.380 That's why.

00:53:37.160 So now what does that mean?

00:53:38.620 That means when things really get bad, they're not going to be there.

00:53:42.580 You need to have your own survival tools.

00:53:45.520 You need to, you need to rely on somebody that can help you put them together so you don't

00:53:50.800 have to rely on anyone.

00:53:52.220 When the time comes, they have helped hardworking Americans just like you prepare and become

00:53:57.960 more self-reliant over a decade.

00:53:59.900 They sell hundreds of items, emergency survival food kits, gravity powered water filtration

00:54:05.380 systems, which are off the charts.

00:54:07.040 Great.

00:54:08.180 Mypatriotsupply.com.

00:54:09.220 Go there now.

00:54:10.700 Mypatriotsupply.com could be a category for hurricane and earthquake, wildfire, cyber attacks.

00:54:17.660 God only know.

00:54:19.060 You know what?

00:54:19.680 Martians could come down and I wouldn't be surprised at this point.

00:54:25.220 And if the Martians come down, I could predict what will happen.

00:54:28.260 The stores at the grocery stores, all the shelves will be empty.

00:54:33.220 Don't do it.

00:54:34.540 Just go to mypatriotsupply.com right now.

00:54:37.760 Mypatriotsupply.com.

00:54:39.000 So, have you been following the Sunspot Solar Observatory?

00:54:51.160 A little bit.

00:54:52.340 A little bit.

00:54:53.040 What do you know?

00:54:54.820 There's some solar observatory.

00:54:57.560 I mean, doesn't that bother you?

00:54:58.840 The first thing is like, don't look directly at the sun.

00:55:01.340 We've got a giant telescope looking directly at the sun.

00:55:04.060 And it closed down without explanation.

00:55:08.100 A lot of people jump to, it's got to be aliens, got to be sunspots.

00:55:11.520 We're all about to die.

00:55:13.280 And that was kind of the conspiracy theory that went around.

00:55:15.720 You know, one of the defenses of it was there was another nearby facility that was also evacuated

00:55:19.400 that had nothing to do with solar type of studies.

00:55:23.500 And then I lost track of the story, I would say, is where I am right now.

00:55:30.160 So, the one thing you left out is it wasn't just closed down.

00:55:33.020 It was closed down quickly.

00:55:35.340 And it was closed down by Black Hawk helicopters.

00:55:38.580 Yeah, I don't get into that.

00:55:39.600 Yeah.

00:55:39.760 Right.

00:55:40.260 And the FBI and Black Hawk helicopters arrived at the location.

00:55:46.120 They called the local sheriff and said, we need you to put a perimeter around this place.

00:55:51.640 It was the FBI and Black Hawk helicopters that came and shut this thing down.

00:55:57.320 Okay.

00:55:58.820 Why is the question?

00:56:02.140 Okay.

00:56:02.720 A couple of things.

00:56:03.520 And you kind of alluded to them.

00:56:04.920 And I don't believe any of these.

00:56:06.560 But I want to tell you what people have said.

00:56:09.760 Then I want to tell you what the FBI has just come out.

00:56:12.580 I'm sorry.

00:56:13.000 Law enforcement officials have just come out and said, which is supposed to calm our nerves.

00:56:18.680 But it doesn't.

00:56:20.040 To me, at least.

00:56:20.880 I just read it to stew off air to calm your nerves.

00:56:23.920 No.

00:56:24.840 No.

00:56:25.200 I actually wish it was aliens or sunspots.

00:56:29.000 And then I'll tell you what I think it is.

00:56:30.760 But people are saying that this observatory caught proof of aliens.

00:56:36.300 Okay.

00:56:36.560 I don't believe that.

00:56:38.580 Maybe.

00:56:39.080 I mean, I believe in aliens.

00:56:40.100 But I don't believe that.

00:56:42.080 They also said maybe they found that it was a, you know, there was a solar flare and it's

00:56:46.440 going to knock out everything.

00:56:47.880 And, you know, we're going to have this big thing that hasn't happened since 1860, which

00:56:51.220 would we'd all starve to death.

00:56:53.060 I also don't believe that because why only this observatory?

00:56:57.340 What they said to calm your fears is next.

00:57:01.260 Glenn Beck.

00:57:02.400 Mercury.

00:57:02.800 If you're a long time listener to the program, you know that I'm a big fan of Orson Welles.

00:57:13.120 In fact, Orson Welles is the reason, one of the reasons why I wanted to do my job.

00:57:18.040 I started listening to him and others, uh, not just war of the worlds, but, uh, you know,

00:57:23.200 the shadow, which he played because radio can radio can be so descriptive and it's, it's

00:57:29.800 a partnership.

00:57:30.280 It's a partnership between me and you.

00:57:32.640 As I describe things to you, you can see them, you can smell them.

00:57:37.080 They become real because you're using your imagination.

00:57:40.120 You're not just using me.

00:57:41.680 You're partnering with me and creating these, these images in your head.

00:57:45.980 I love that.

00:57:48.040 Uh, people are, people just think that, oh, you know, people back in 1929, they were old

00:57:54.300 timey and they thought, you know, Martians were coming in and, uh, and they were going

00:57:59.380 to, you know, destroy the world.

00:58:00.800 How could they be so stupid?

00:58:02.680 Well, if you actually know, actually it's not in 1929, it's 1939.

00:58:06.860 If you actually know what was happening in America at the time and why that story was

00:58:13.080 selected by Wells, uh, to be a broadcast, it was because we had heard of aliens coming

00:58:20.340 here to destroy us.

00:58:22.460 Germans that were coming from a far distant land, uh, and they were going to, uh, destroy

00:58:30.100 us with all of these super weapons that they were, that they were, um, uh, building.

00:58:35.680 So when people heard an invasion, when they heard, um, super weapons and heat rays and everything

00:58:43.000 else, that was already in their psyche.

00:58:46.200 And so it, it didn't take a lot to push people into hysteria because they didn't know what was

00:58:53.580 true.

00:58:54.020 They didn't know what wasn't true.

00:58:56.220 Uh, they trusted people more than we trust people now.

00:59:00.300 Uh, and, and so it became real to them.

00:59:08.960 Let me talk to you about aliens for a second.

00:59:12.840 How many of us at 20 years ago would have been shocked if all of a sudden the government came

00:59:16.780 out and said, oh, by the way, uh, there's alien life.

00:59:20.600 And, uh, and I don't mean it's like it living in a rock on Mars.

00:59:23.620 I mean, it's, it's got four legs, 16 eyes, and, uh, we've had a couple of visitors in

00:59:29.760 the Oval Office.

00:59:30.760 How many of us would have been, wait, wait, what?

00:59:33.720 And your world would fall apart today.

00:59:38.200 If you said, and it's got 16 eyes, you'd be like, oh, Bernie Sanders.

00:59:41.800 No, I mean, real aliens have been in the Oval Office.

00:59:44.780 Oh, what'd they say?

00:59:47.720 Right.

00:59:48.160 Would you be, would your world fall apart if you found out that aliens were real?

00:59:56.260 I wouldn't.

00:59:57.620 Would yours still?

00:59:59.040 You think most people's world would fall?

01:00:00.520 I mean, yes, there would be panic because the news would be like, ah, aliens.

01:00:05.400 Well, but they do that about everything.

01:00:06.480 So there's no longer, we're so constantly on alert for every huge problem.

01:00:12.220 Every little problem turns into a huge one.

01:00:14.080 So I think there would be people that would be like, oh, do they bring their vaporizing

01:00:18.440 gun?

01:00:18.840 Because, oh, I'm tired of this.

01:00:20.720 I mean, you get to the point where you're almost, almost praying for destruction.

01:00:24.500 Okay.

01:00:24.600 So, so let me, let me tell you now that I'm going to read to you the story about the closing

01:00:31.880 of the Sunspot Solar Observatory.

01:00:34.380 Now, this is from a credible source.

01:00:36.380 It's from the Kansas City Star.

01:00:37.940 They reported on it and they're, they're basically saying, you know, there's not aliens and, and,

01:00:43.100 and we're pretty sure there's not sunspots that are going to knock us all out back to

01:00:46.220 the Stone Age.

01:00:46.800 Let me read this.

01:00:48.520 The group that manages the facility announced on the observatory's Facebook page Sunday

01:00:53.380 that it had been cooperating with an ongoing law enforcement investigation of criminal

01:00:59.700 activity that occurred at Sacramento Peak.

01:01:02.900 That's where the observatory is.

01:01:04.880 Now, remember what this story is, is that Black Hawk helicopters and the FBI shut this observatory

01:01:13.680 down, told everybody you have to leave and you have to leave right now, get out of your

01:01:20.040 desk and leave.

01:01:21.820 People who were asked to leave, actually, I thought it was the FBI, but it wasn't.

01:01:25.420 It was the people that were asked to leave called the sheriff and said to the sheriff, we're

01:01:30.000 being asked to leave.

01:01:30.980 I don't know why, but can you guys come and just watch this observe?

01:01:34.400 Because they're not giving us any answers.

01:01:38.020 So it was the people that were being asked at the observatory to leave that were very

01:01:43.100 uncomfortable with this.

01:01:44.360 Now, the next question is, what does it take to get the Black Hawk helicopter keys thrown

01:01:49.760 your way?

01:01:51.340 I mean, it's not like, hey, there's something happening up at the observatory.

01:01:54.940 Can we just take the Black Hawk?

01:01:56.160 It's a lot faster.

01:01:56.940 That doesn't happen.

01:01:58.140 Not in U.S. airspace.

01:02:00.920 A Black Hawk helicopter comes and supports the FBI.

01:02:05.720 I don't know if you know this, but the FBI doesn't have the keys to one of those.

01:02:13.320 So we know that Black Hawk helicopter, at least one, accompanied the FBI.

01:02:18.740 They told everybody to leave.

01:02:20.940 Now, law enforcement saying is they were cooperating with an ongoing law enforcement investigation

01:02:26.760 of criminal activity that occurred at Sacramento Peak.

01:02:30.480 What kind of criminal activity would that have to be?

01:02:34.940 During that time, said the statement from the Association of Universities for Research

01:02:38.340 in Astronomy, we became concerned that a suspect in the investigation potentially posed a threat

01:02:44.300 to the safety of local staff and residents.

01:02:48.980 For this reason, we temporarily vacated the facility and cease science activities at this location.

01:02:54.060 Okay, so somebody was investigating there.

01:02:58.640 Officials have said very little about why the observatory near Almagardo, I guess, Almagardo,

01:03:07.260 was shut down.

01:03:08.460 Local law enforcement officials say the FBI was involved in the closure, which the feds have

01:03:13.660 not confirmed or denied.

01:03:15.700 It was our decision to evacuate the facility.

01:03:18.300 This is the scientist.

01:03:20.840 We made the decision to evacuate the facility.

01:03:24.060 I'm actually not sure when the facility was vacated, but it will stay vacated until further

01:03:29.440 notice.

01:03:30.500 According to the newspaper, Benny House, the sheriff of the county, said the FBI was involved

01:03:35.900 in what he described as an elaborate shutdown process and said the FBI is refusing to tell

01:03:42.040 us what is going on.

01:03:43.480 There was a Black Hawk helicopter.

01:03:45.540 I'm still quoting a bunch of people around antennas and work crews on towers, but no one

01:03:51.500 would tell us anything.

01:03:52.520 Okay, now this goes to a theory that is out and it seems reasonable that somebody was possibly

01:04:02.040 working for the Russians or this case, the main theory is the Chinese, and they use those

01:04:09.060 antennas and the infrastructure to hack into our governmental systems and be able to ride

01:04:18.420 on the backbone and be able to thwart some of our government systems.

01:04:23.360 That makes sense here.

01:04:24.620 And that would explain a Black Hawk helicopter and everything else.

01:04:27.720 I think he told the Albuquerque Journal.

01:04:30.520 His department got a call from folks that work at the laboratory asking if we could send

01:04:34.940 a deputy to stand by while they were evacuating.

01:04:37.180 The CNET noted that the U.S. military built the observatory in 1947 when it realized the

01:04:42.100 sun could interfere with radio communications.

01:04:43.960 The National Science Foundation ran the facility until the 1960s, until this year when operation

01:04:50.500 was transferred to ORA and the New Mexico State University.

01:04:54.380 The statement from ORA on Sunday said the observatory was closed, quote, based on the logistical

01:04:59.920 challenges associated with protecting personnel at such a remote location, OK, and the need

01:05:07.320 for expeditious response from the potential threat.

01:05:12.020 What threat?

01:05:13.940 ORA determined that moving the small number of on-site staff and residents off of the mountain

01:05:20.240 was the most prudent and effective action to ensure their safety.

01:05:25.200 The statement did not explain the criminal activity allegedly discovered at the observatory

01:05:29.560 or mentioned anything about arrests.

01:05:31.160 It did acknowledge how the lack of communication with the facility was vacated, and it was concerning

01:05:36.020 and frustrating for some.

01:05:37.560 However, quoting, our desire to provide additional information had to be balanced against the

01:05:42.720 risk that if spread at the time, the news would alert the suspect and impede law enforcement

01:05:48.920 investigation.

01:05:49.900 That risk was one we could not take, said the statement.

01:05:54.060 Well, I think the Black Hawk helicopter might have alerted him, too.

01:05:59.560 The observatory's quoting, the observatory staff of about nine employees should be back

01:06:05.220 at work this week.

01:06:07.360 And it shouldn't take long for nearby residents to be back in their home.

01:06:16.140 Wait.

01:06:18.080 You, not only the facility, but you told everybody that lives nearby they needed to leave their

01:06:26.280 home, too.

01:06:28.940 What kind of danger are we talking about?

01:06:32.860 This is so weird.

01:06:34.080 This is bizarre.

01:06:37.180 It's a weird story.

01:06:38.900 You know, it's a lot of times a weird story like this winds up in three weeks without fanfare

01:06:45.080 to have some sort of just, you know.

01:06:47.940 That's what they want you to believe.

01:06:48.980 Right.

01:06:49.200 Some sort of description that makes it a lot more boring.

01:06:51.740 Yes.

01:06:51.960 I mean, this happens often and you'll find out, okay, well, that kind of makes sense

01:06:55.700 and it wasn't a big deal.

01:06:56.920 Now, of course, the conspiracy theorists, and who knows, maybe they're right this time,

01:07:01.560 would say, well, they just, you know, they're just trying to hide it.

01:07:04.860 And maybe that's, you know, who knows.

01:07:06.340 But this one, I can't even come up with the legitimate, like, explanation that makes me

01:07:12.700 think it's not something really bad.

01:07:14.880 Right.

01:07:15.080 There's not an obvious, to me at least, explanation where it's like, oh, well, yeah, really big

01:07:21.400 roach problem.

01:07:22.380 You know, I mean, it was just like, ah, we're everywhere and there's crunch, crunch, crunch

01:07:26.460 everywhere you walk, just evacuate the place.

01:07:28.680 Right.

01:07:28.800 Like, it doesn't, there's not that.

01:07:30.120 No.

01:07:30.500 You don't call in a black hawk for that.

01:07:32.120 Right.

01:07:32.420 Unless they're really big bugs.

01:07:33.760 Right.

01:07:34.000 And I don't think it's, you remember that giant marshmallow man?

01:07:37.180 He's back.

01:07:37.720 Right.

01:07:37.940 I don't think it's that either.

01:07:39.080 No, no.

01:07:39.580 I think it is probably something to do with, with hacking white sands is right there.

01:07:46.320 So it's, it's not far from white sands.

01:07:49.640 But again, I go back to the keys of a black hawk.

01:07:53.160 That's not something you just take out for a spin over us, uh, in, in us airspace involved

01:08:02.040 in an operation training.

01:08:03.620 Sure.

01:08:04.100 Not involved with the FBI and what kind of threat that was possibly working there, were

01:08:16.040 they not trying to tip off, but they come with a black hawk and what kind of threat could

01:08:24.700 pose a danger to everyone on the mountain?

01:08:28.740 It's just bizarre.

01:08:30.080 I just don't, it just, I don't even think I need to say this.

01:08:34.480 Something's not right, but I will tell you this.

01:08:36.400 I'm actually hoping for the alien thing.

01:08:38.880 Really?

01:08:39.460 Yes, I am.

01:08:40.140 Because don't you think there is a better chance?

01:08:44.320 Let me ask you two scenarios.

01:08:47.340 One, all of a sudden, everybody in Washington starts to make sense.

01:08:50.960 Everybody's like, you know, oh my gosh, where have I been?

01:08:54.240 I'm sorry.

01:08:54.880 I don't know.

01:08:55.360 I must've been drinking or, or I had, uh, you know, some of those Roseanne, uh, sleeping

01:08:59.800 pills and I just been crazy for a while.

01:09:02.360 I don't know what happened.

01:09:03.540 Okay.

01:09:03.840 And they start to make sense.

01:09:05.940 Is that more likely than aliens invade and they say, people of earth, we've been observing

01:09:16.300 you and you're beginning to think that mathematics is racist.

01:09:20.220 We're here to control your planet because mathematics and science is not racist.

01:09:28.340 An alien dictatorship to get rid of our nonsense.

01:09:32.060 It just says, look, we're just here because we haven't lost common sense.

01:09:36.500 It's what built this ship.

01:09:38.060 And, uh, we think you need some help.

01:09:40.480 I think there's a better chance that friendly aliens come that are rooted in common sense

01:09:47.300 than anyone in Washington finding it.

01:09:49.540 So you want to buy a home, you want to refinance your home.

01:10:06.700 I highly, highly, highly, highly, uh, recommend refinancing your home, uh, because interest rates

01:10:15.160 are, are going up.

01:10:16.520 Stu, before I get, before I forget, did Donald Trump put another $200 billion tariff yesterday?

01:10:24.780 Just the $200 billion though.

01:10:26.160 No, but he said if they react, he'll do another $200 billion.

01:10:28.520 Oh yeah, he'll do more.

01:10:29.440 Uh, and of course they're going to respond as well.

01:10:32.340 This is not good.

01:10:33.420 The current estimate, by the way, for, think of all the hard work that was done on this

01:10:38.400 tax bill, right?

01:10:39.920 I mean, they got this thing through.

01:10:41.140 It was the main legislative accomplishment, right?

01:10:43.560 Of the last two years, uh, the tariffs have now reversed half of it.

01:10:48.140 Oh my gosh.

01:10:48.580 And that does not include the coming Chinese retribution, which they obviously will fire

01:10:54.520 back at the other side.

01:10:55.440 It's undone half of the tax bill.

01:10:58.300 And by the way, has redistributed it, right?

01:11:01.540 Like, no, it's, it's got, yeah, no, it's the worst.

01:11:04.180 This is horrible.

01:11:05.060 Horrible.

01:11:05.260 Horrible.

01:11:06.000 Anyway, it's not going to, if, if, if we kill the growth, we are going to pay a

01:11:13.520 very high price.

01:12:28.720 So, uh, only 60, only $60 billion hit back so far?

01:12:36.520 So far, uh, China has retaliated against the new tariffs.

01:12:39.440 Feels like a win.

01:12:40.180 Mm-hmm.

01:12:40.520 Feels like a win.

01:12:41.860 You know, again, it's, it's by far the worst part of his presidency.

01:12:46.400 Uh, you know, like people will complain about things like, you know, his actions and the

01:12:50.560 way he talks and, you know, all that.

01:12:52.880 And that's, we've discussed that.

01:12:54.360 But policy-wise, I mean, the trade stuff has been a horror show.

01:13:00.060 It's been a horror show.

01:13:01.300 It's by far the worst part of his presidency when it comes to policy.

01:13:05.620 And he is-

01:13:06.160 It could be the thing that, that, uh, undo, and does everything.

01:13:09.480 Yeah.

01:13:09.700 We've cut the, again, half of the tax cuts, the benefits of them have now been-

01:13:14.200 Erased.

01:13:14.600 You've raised it in taxes on, on people buying things.

01:13:17.860 Mm-hmm.

01:13:18.140 Uh, and, you know, we've cost a lot of jobs.

01:13:21.940 We don't know the total number yet, but they are adding up fast.

01:13:25.120 These industries that are affected by these tariffs are getting killed.

01:13:28.800 The, all four favors for, you know, the chosen one.

01:13:31.840 The government is picking winners and losers.

01:13:33.940 It's something we've never liked.

01:13:35.480 These are tax raises on, hikes on the American people.

01:13:38.720 On the, on the-

01:13:39.820 By Republican president.

01:13:41.060 On the lowest, because it is China.

01:13:43.740 Yeah, it's inexpensive goods.

01:13:45.480 Yeah, it's the inexpensive goods that you're buying from China.

01:13:48.140 It's the taxes on the lowest.

01:13:50.540 Glenn Beck, Mercury.

01:13:53.760 Hey, it's Glenn, and I want to tell you about something that you should either end your day

01:13:57.040 with or, um, start your morning with, and that is the news and why it matters.

01:14:03.140 If you like this show, you're going to love the news and why it matters.

01:14:06.980 It's a bunch of us that all get together at the end of the day and just talk about the

01:14:10.480 stories that matter to you and your life.

01:14:12.960 The news and why it matters.

01:14:14.000 Look for it now, wherever you download your favorite podcast.

01:14:18.020 Glenn Beck.

01:14:20.200 Hey, have you found yourself not worrying about enough stuff?

01:14:24.620 I mean, are you, are you thinking to yourself, you know what, Glenn?

01:14:28.560 I mean, yes, the world is a mess, but I'm pretty optimistic.

01:14:31.580 Things are looking okay today.

01:14:33.920 I feel pretty good.

01:14:35.120 Well, soon you won't, because I'm here to give you some news about Russia, a Russia military

01:14:43.300 plane shot down over the coast of Syria.

01:14:46.660 Fifteen Russians were killed.

01:14:49.520 The Russian turbo prop plane was conducting electronic reconnaissance when suddenly it came

01:14:57.320 under attack by what it called at the time, quote, enemy missiles.

01:15:03.780 Okay, that's not good.

01:15:05.860 Now, before you start freaking out, we neither did this, nor are we being blamed for it.

01:15:12.580 Somebody else.

01:15:13.480 I think you can imagine the worldwide freak out that would be ensuing right now if this

01:15:20.180 accident had between been between the U.S. and Russia, but it wasn't.

01:15:24.240 Just imagine what would be happening right now if one of our planes inadvertently shot

01:15:29.200 down, you know, 15 Russian boys and killed them, or if the situation was reversed.

01:15:36.200 I think we'd be calling for blood.

01:15:39.580 Hopefully that won't happen.

01:15:41.500 But we had nothing to do with this, but that's not the dispute.

01:15:46.420 The Russians described this as enemy missiles.

01:15:50.000 Where were they coming from?

01:15:51.980 Well, it turns out that Russia's plane was actually shot down by their ally, the Assad regime.

01:15:57.600 It was a mistake.

01:15:58.520 Syrian S-200 battery hit the plane as it was returning to a military base used by the Russians

01:16:04.680 in North Syria.

01:16:06.200 Now, here's why this is troubling.

01:16:09.020 This is where it becomes interesting and perhaps a little bit frightening.

01:16:13.240 At the same time the Syrian missiles were taking out Russia's plane, the reason why they were

01:16:20.040 shooting is because four Israeli F-16 fighter jets were striking targets near the Russian base

01:16:27.160 in northern Syria.

01:16:28.920 Russia is livid.

01:16:30.480 They're calling Israel's actions, quote, deliberately, a deliberate and a hostile provocation.

01:16:38.360 Oh, I love it when Russia starts using language.

01:16:40.920 It's so hot.

01:16:41.860 The implication here is that the Israeli jets were masking their position behind the Russian plane, in effect, using it as cover to commence their bombing run.

01:16:53.020 But as the Russians are accusing Israel of using one of its planes as cover, Iran is doing exactly the same thing with their forces near the Russian military bases.

01:17:04.600 Russian assets are among some of the most heavily protected areas in Syria.

01:17:08.720 They're the hardest to penetrate Iranian forces from the Iranian Republican Guard Corps and Hezbollah are basing all of their troops with Russia's approval near Russian bases.

01:17:20.880 It's the perfect protection and security to guarantee for Iran to operate inside of Syria directly on Israel's borders.

01:17:30.020 The downing of this plane is tragic, but it also shows how dangerously close the world is to a world war.

01:17:38.560 The situation in Syria is not sustainable.

01:17:42.240 Iran wants control over Syria and Russia is helping them do it.

01:17:47.420 Israel knows this and cannot let it happen.

01:17:50.880 This, of course, is maintained.

01:17:54.040 And if it if it is, the incident is not going to be the last.

01:17:59.980 If Russia begins actively targeting Israeli jets from striking Hezbollah and Iranian forces, how long do you think Israel will allow that?

01:18:10.600 How long will we allow that?

01:18:13.140 This situation is a powder keg.

01:18:16.800 Anything could set it off.

01:18:19.160 But you know what?

01:18:19.880 You and I, we're not going to do anything about it.

01:18:22.460 We can't do anything about it.

01:18:24.040 So now that you know the information, let it go.

01:18:27.520 Let it go.

01:18:29.760 It's Tuesday, September 18th.

01:18:32.400 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:18:36.100 Hello, Stu.

01:18:37.420 Mr. Beck.

01:18:38.320 Welcome to the program.

01:18:39.220 Thank you.

01:18:39.700 I've been here for a couple of hours, but I appreciate your welcome.

01:18:41.900 I didn't even notice earlier, but welcome.

01:18:44.820 I thought you just sat down.

01:18:46.180 It's good.

01:18:47.240 Okay.

01:18:49.160 I want to give you a story here about the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.

01:18:54.960 There's a couple of economists up there.

01:18:56.840 And they have taught machines to guess a person's income, political ideology, race, education, and gender based on either their media habits, their consumer behavior, or their social and political beliefs.

01:19:11.300 Even how they spend time.

01:19:14.160 Okay.

01:19:14.460 So this is like one of these algorithms you see on social networks, right?

01:19:18.000 Where you could say they're taking all of your information, the things you buy, the things you do, and trying to figure out maybe what your political leanings are or other characteristics about you.

01:19:29.100 Correct.

01:19:29.400 Now, they just tested this.

01:19:31.060 And they've omitted variables that would have been a dead giveaway.

01:19:33.920 For instance, if we're predicting whether somebody's liberal or conservative, you can't use the question,

01:19:39.240 Oh, what party did you vote for?

01:19:41.140 Right.

01:19:41.480 Okay.

01:19:41.720 Now, some of the things are obvious, and some of them aren't.

01:19:49.800 Spending predicts gender, they say, with almost perfect accuracy.

01:19:56.580 Now, that's amazing.

01:19:57.660 Now, it's not on something, I mean, like, when's the last time you went out?

01:20:00.800 Wait, we're at a time where our genitals don't predict it with perfect certainty.

01:20:06.020 But our spending habits can?

01:20:07.660 Yes.

01:20:08.040 Okay.

01:20:08.320 They're saying that women will buy aftershave or shaving lotion, but not as much as a man will.

01:20:20.020 Okay.

01:20:20.460 So, that's kind of a little dicey there.

01:20:22.180 But men rarely go out and buy mascara.

01:20:25.920 Okay.

01:20:26.340 Well, that's...

01:20:26.800 Okay.

01:20:27.100 Yeah.

01:20:27.380 All right.

01:20:27.660 Again, rarely.

01:20:28.560 Rarely.

01:20:28.960 You're not being judgmental, I know, when you say that.

01:20:31.140 Oh, no.

01:20:31.640 Men who buy mascara, I think they're very manly, if they want to be manly, or very feminine,

01:20:36.680 if they want to be...

01:20:37.340 You know, the whole thing is fluid, Stu.

01:20:39.060 All makeup ability is equal.

01:20:41.620 Well, yes.

01:20:42.780 Mm-hmm.

01:20:43.020 Yes.

01:20:43.940 Okay.

01:20:45.840 In the world of television, some of the top ten predictors of whiteness.

01:20:52.000 If you are white, top ten.

01:20:55.460 Screams you're white.

01:20:57.980 Number one?

01:21:00.200 That's not how you do a countdown.

01:21:02.320 You're doing a countdown, you're starting at number one?

01:21:04.360 Come on, Casey.

01:21:05.460 All right.

01:21:05.860 Number four, the Kentucky Derby.

01:21:12.360 Okay.

01:21:12.860 Horse racing, I would say, a whitish sport.

01:21:16.500 Right.

01:21:16.900 Okay.

01:21:17.300 All right.

01:21:18.320 Number three, the Big Bang Theory.

01:21:23.220 Yeah.

01:21:23.820 Okay.

01:21:24.380 I mean, I can see that.

01:21:26.140 Maybe.

01:21:26.400 I guess, yeah.

01:21:27.660 American Pickers, number two.

01:21:30.160 Hmm.

01:21:30.700 Interesting.

01:21:32.020 People...

01:21:32.860 I don't know why.

01:21:35.360 Yeah.

01:21:35.560 I don't know why.

01:21:36.480 Again, I wouldn't...

01:21:37.800 You know, there's certain shows that obviously target certain communities, right?

01:21:41.380 I don't know that American Pickers targets white people, but I don't...

01:21:44.480 I wouldn't say it's targeted as another...

01:21:46.720 It's not good.

01:21:47.000 No, it's just Americans.

01:21:48.300 Maybe.

01:21:48.720 Maybe.

01:21:49.080 Not even that.

01:21:49.720 It's just, you know, the American culture, and maybe that's what it is.

01:21:52.900 Maybe, you know, we look back on, you know, our childhoods and things with fondness

01:21:58.720 in culture.

01:22:00.800 Mm-hmm.

01:22:01.040 You know, when they find an old sign of something, we're like, oh, that's cool.

01:22:04.500 I'm not sure that's the same for the African-American community.

01:22:07.320 Sure.

01:22:07.900 You know, so maybe that's what it is.

01:22:09.920 Number one, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

01:22:13.420 What?

01:22:13.940 Did you watch Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer?

01:22:15.980 That's the number one predictor on television.

01:22:18.260 Well, it's because you're white.

01:22:20.080 Is it because I'm white?

01:22:21.220 It's because you're white.

01:22:22.100 I mean, I would say it was because...

01:22:23.400 What's the snowman?

01:22:23.920 He's white.

01:22:25.140 Santa.

01:22:25.580 He's white.

01:22:26.240 Well, so is the abominable snowman, however.

01:22:28.020 He's white.

01:22:28.380 He's white.

01:22:28.700 But not a good positive character.

01:22:30.020 It's an early white story.

01:22:31.380 Most of the beginning, at least.

01:22:32.340 Oh, excuse me.

01:22:32.900 Spoiler alert.

01:22:33.200 The abominable...

01:22:34.200 Spoiler alert.

01:22:35.480 He turns around in that one.

01:22:36.420 You know, the monster is the best part of that story.

01:22:39.640 I think Santa's a bigger monster than...

01:22:41.740 Oh, Santa's a jerk in that thing.

01:22:43.400 I hate...

01:22:44.080 I'm beginning to hate that thing.

01:22:46.200 I watch it because...

01:22:47.620 Oh, but every time I watch it, I look at my wife and I'm like, how was this ever cool?

01:22:52.320 How was this ever good?

01:22:53.760 I love it.

01:22:54.520 I mean, I love it.

01:22:55.920 I absolutely love Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, but that is a weird part of it.

01:23:00.440 Santa is portrayed in that movie differently than in every other movie about Santa Claus, right?

01:23:06.420 I mean, you know, he's such a jerk to Rudolph.

01:23:12.560 Rudolph, he's a jerk to his dad.

01:23:15.620 I mean...

01:23:16.240 His dad?

01:23:17.140 Oh, yeah.

01:23:18.260 Yeah.

01:23:19.420 Blitzner, whatever it is.

01:23:21.200 Like, you know, very...

01:23:21.840 Hey, you know, hey, you're...

01:23:23.140 Like, when he finds out, hey, your kid's got something a little bit different than him,

01:23:26.800 you should be ashamed of yourself is not the way you handle that situation, Santa.

01:23:30.580 Right.

01:23:31.280 And he's really...

01:23:32.560 And then when he goes to the elf practice, I mean, here, these guys, they're just singing

01:23:36.840 for him.

01:23:37.460 That's all they're doing is singing for him.

01:23:38.820 And he's like, I've had enough.

01:23:40.920 Yeah.

01:23:41.220 What a jerk.

01:23:42.240 Yeah, he doesn't...

01:23:43.240 He's a bad boss.

01:23:44.920 He's wildly politically incorrect on all the things that I think you should be politically

01:23:49.760 correct on.

01:23:50.860 You know, let's be decent to each other.

01:23:52.740 Oh, he's got a red nose.

01:23:55.200 He's a leper.

01:23:56.280 Put him on a colony.

01:23:57.620 You know, I mean, that's crazy.

01:23:58.980 Send him to an island.

01:24:01.700 Oh, anyway.

01:24:03.320 And he's not...

01:24:03.840 Well, look, everyone has a bad day.

01:24:05.820 And maybe he had a couple of bad weeks.

01:24:07.720 You know, he wasn't going to be able to...

01:24:08.920 Christmas was almost canceled, right?

01:24:10.520 I mean, he's had a lot of stress going on at the time.

01:24:13.240 Maybe give him a break.

01:24:13.960 Certainly, the rest of his body of work is positive.

01:24:18.100 I would like to see...

01:24:19.280 I'd like to see Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer the pivot point.

01:24:23.660 I'd like to see the Santa pivot point.

01:24:26.500 Well, the Santa pivot point is clear.

01:24:28.040 The Santa pivot point is once...

01:24:30.220 He's a utility to Santa.

01:24:32.160 Once Rudolph can do something for Santa, all of a sudden, he's won over by him.

01:24:36.300 I know.

01:24:36.600 I know.

01:24:37.140 I hate that.

01:24:37.760 I hate that.

01:24:38.820 I remember the guy...

01:24:39.560 You know, Rudolph is flying better than all of the other reindeer at this time when they're

01:24:43.880 young.

01:24:44.400 They're doing the reindeer games.

01:24:45.520 He's the one kicking butt.

01:24:47.180 And because his nose is a little different, he gets tossed off to some island with a bunch

01:24:52.540 of misfit toys.

01:24:53.360 It's not right.

01:24:54.280 It's not right.

01:24:54.940 And look, you know, we can look back at history and hold this against him forever.

01:24:58.880 I think the statute of limitations probably run out on this case as well.

01:25:02.420 I don't know.

01:25:02.880 Santa...

01:25:03.400 There's a woman that's come out on Santa.

01:25:05.400 Oh, no.

01:25:06.000 Yeah.

01:25:06.200 When Santa was in high school...

01:25:07.560 Oh, no.

01:25:08.220 Yeah.

01:25:09.120 What did he do?

01:25:09.660 He raped her.

01:25:10.600 Full on rape.

01:25:12.740 Well, he was young.

01:25:13.600 He was athletic.

01:25:14.400 You know, he was...

01:25:15.380 Oh, okay.

01:25:15.840 This is before he started to drink and get fat and everything else.

01:25:18.560 He was a football player, and he just out and out raped her.

01:25:23.260 Okay.

01:25:24.460 This is sad.

01:25:25.060 This is forgetting.

01:25:26.080 We've left...

01:25:27.020 Remember the little Dolly?

01:25:28.440 No, no.

01:25:28.940 It's on the...

01:25:29.460 We've left cute analysis of TV special-ville.

01:25:34.000 That was her.

01:25:34.320 And we've entered into creepy-ville.

01:25:35.960 I swear to you, I swear to you, Dolly was raped by that fat man, and I know, because

01:25:42.480 I'm a Charlie in the box.

01:25:43.860 All right.

01:25:44.760 All right.

01:25:45.260 I'm just saying.

01:25:45.760 All right.

01:25:46.760 So, now here are the top 10 items.

01:25:51.960 Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait.

01:25:53.040 Let me get to this first.

01:25:54.740 So, this will tell you if you're white on consumer products.

01:25:58.620 Okay.

01:25:58.840 Okay?

01:26:00.320 You own a pet is number one.

01:26:02.960 That's like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

01:26:05.060 If you watch that, and you watched it with your pet, you are the whitest white man alive.

01:26:10.760 That's interesting.

01:26:11.620 Wait, wait, so minorities don't own pets?

01:26:13.820 Is there a difference in minority pet ownership rates?

01:26:15.360 I would like to hear from...

01:26:17.060 I'd like to...

01:26:17.780 Can you look at it?

01:26:18.440 I'm going for it.

01:26:20.160 Now, I said, now, I don't know if this is true or if this is a joke on me, but I had

01:26:24.820 a Jewish friend come over to my house, and I have two German shepherds, and he wasn't

01:26:29.360 happy about that.

01:26:30.640 And I kind of like...

01:26:31.800 I was like, oh, yeah.

01:26:33.280 Yeah, you know, it's probably pretty bad, and I've heard from him, so this is only just

01:26:39.420 him, but he said, yeah, Jewish people don't usually have dogs.

01:26:42.740 We don't like dogs.

01:26:44.400 Now, I don't know if that's from the Holocaust or, you know, from I don't know when, but he

01:26:49.280 said, we don't usually have pets.

01:26:52.080 This is, I would say, pretty revealing.

01:26:56.180 The pet ownership rates, this is 2011, the most recently available number, by race, ethnicity.

01:27:04.420 Um, black, uh, 22% own pets.

01:27:09.020 Asian, 27%.

01:27:10.680 Hispanic, 40% own pets.

01:27:13.840 White, 61%.

01:27:15.780 We just can't give up...

01:27:17.520 It is a white thing, isn't it?

01:27:18.140 We cannot give up that slave thing.

01:27:21.400 Like, we have to release our people.

01:27:23.160 I'm getting a dog.

01:27:24.380 Then I'm getting a dog, and I'm going to put a chain around his neck, okay?

01:27:27.460 Wow.

01:27:27.900 That's what it is.

01:27:28.540 That's deep.

01:27:29.280 You've really...

01:27:30.320 I nailed it there.

01:27:31.580 Wow.

01:27:31.760 I think I nailed it there.

01:27:33.360 That will be taught in universities all across America within the next 10 days.

01:27:38.360 I would not be surprised at all if there's a liberal professor who's done that exact rant

01:27:42.860 in front of a class.

01:27:44.320 I can guarantee you.

01:27:46.160 Why do you think it's three times as high for whites?

01:27:49.120 Because they see these pets as slaves.

01:27:51.820 They can boss them around.

01:27:52.900 They can put them in cages.

01:27:54.380 They can feed them whenever they want.

01:27:55.800 They can throw them outside in the heat.

01:27:57.280 It is something in the white jeans.

01:27:58.720 That's all it is.

01:27:59.440 God, that's definitely...

01:28:00.140 You're going to see that on Huffington Post in about a week.

01:28:02.760 I think I might have read it about 10 minutes ago on the Huffington Post.

01:28:06.980 Simply safe.

01:28:07.660 Home security.

01:28:08.760 Great security system.

01:28:10.460 Fantastic protection.

01:28:11.640 It is easy to use.

01:28:13.160 This is a company.

01:28:14.400 Don't you love seeing companies and good people succeed?

01:28:19.600 Oh, I love that.

01:28:20.340 I do, too.

01:28:21.040 I love those stories.

01:28:22.880 Remember when they first started with us?

01:28:24.700 Oh, yeah.

01:28:25.680 It was a five?

01:28:26.960 Yeah, it was five people.

01:28:27.900 They were nobodies.

01:28:29.180 Now, they're billionaires.

01:28:30.480 Well, their company is.

01:28:31.620 Company's worth a billion bucks.

01:28:32.920 That's amazing.

01:28:33.600 That's incredible.

01:28:34.520 Oh, they just had a really good idea and well-timed, great product and something that people get

01:28:38.900 something out of, something that they can...

01:28:40.320 But don't you think now that they're successful, we should tear them down?

01:28:43.220 No, I'm not...

01:28:44.260 You don't think so?

01:28:44.860 I don't think that's a good idea.

01:28:45.800 I feel like that's a bad idea.

01:28:46.440 Usually when people get, you know, they're successful, we like to see them, but then we

01:28:50.000 like to tear them down.

01:28:50.840 And then when they get to the bottom, we're like, oh, we love a comeback story.

01:28:54.200 Yep.

01:28:55.360 So...

01:28:55.840 Just ripping people down and building them back up.

01:28:57.780 I don't know what to do.

01:28:58.480 I'm still on building them up.

01:28:59.960 Okay.

01:29:00.300 Because they've got a great product and it is simply safe.

01:29:52.020 So here's how you decide.

01:29:53.540 Here's how this algorithm is showing if you are white and you own your own home.

01:30:00.260 Okay.

01:30:03.280 In let's just let's go back in time tunnel here for a second.

01:30:06.040 In 1992, a predictor of how people you could tell if you're white or black was whether you

01:30:12.380 owned a dishwasher.

01:30:14.660 You owned a shovel.

01:30:15.900 You owned a smoke and fire detector.

01:30:19.660 You own a pet.

01:30:21.280 Own a microwave.

01:30:22.740 Own a flashlight.

01:30:24.260 Use suntan or sunscreen products.

01:30:27.280 Owns a hand-held electric mixer.

01:30:32.720 A lot of these are related to home ownership, too.

01:30:35.080 Yeah.

01:30:35.240 Which is part of this difference, I think.

01:30:36.660 So I think you can look at this.

01:30:38.160 Okay.

01:30:38.400 So owns a dishwasher.

01:30:39.560 That's a home.

01:30:40.460 Shovel.

01:30:40.920 Home.

01:30:41.480 Smile.

01:30:41.900 A smoke detector.

01:30:42.660 Home.

01:30:43.740 Owns a microwave.

01:30:44.940 Home.

01:30:45.300 Home.

01:30:45.620 Flashlight.

01:30:46.220 Home.

01:30:47.760 Handheld electric mixer.

01:30:49.180 Probably home.

01:30:50.420 Owns a house.

01:30:51.540 Owns a hose.

01:30:52.520 Home.

01:30:52.960 Owns a coffee maker.

01:30:54.760 Those were predictors in 1992.

01:30:56.440 Mm-hmm.

01:30:57.240 Now, owns a pet is number one.

01:30:59.940 That still blows my mind.

01:31:01.360 Slavery.

01:31:02.200 Get over your white privilege.

01:31:04.800 Owns a flashlight.

01:31:06.140 Owns a dishwasher.

01:31:07.560 Owns a sport and or recreation equipment.

01:31:10.860 Would that include, like, a basketball or a football?

01:31:15.580 Yeah.

01:31:16.020 I don't know.

01:31:16.280 I guess.

01:31:17.500 Owns glass ovenware.

01:31:21.420 Owns a gas grill.

01:31:23.460 Owns a smoke and fire detector.

01:31:25.180 Owns an air conditioner.

01:31:26.820 Owns a hot water heater.

01:31:28.400 Owns a built-in dishwasher.

01:31:29.440 A lot of those are just if you own a home.

01:31:31.620 Right.

01:31:32.080 Are white people the only ones taking smoke inhalation seriously?

01:31:35.640 No, I think the key there is own.

01:31:37.640 Yeah.

01:31:37.740 If you rent.

01:31:38.240 If you're renting.

01:31:38.860 If you rent, you don't really own it.

01:31:40.220 Mm-hmm.

01:31:40.720 And obviously, the white population's higher in suburbs and places where homes are owned

01:31:45.200 rather than city urban areas where minority populations are higher.

01:31:48.740 So, these are social attitudes that predict you're white.

01:31:52.260 Okay?

01:31:52.720 In 1976.

01:31:54.280 Now, listen to this.

01:31:55.480 In 1976, number one predictor that you were white, spending on blacks isn't too little.

01:32:02.540 So, now that isn't too little, which is a double.

01:32:07.820 Almost a double negative.

01:32:08.580 Almost kind of like a double negative.

01:32:09.880 So, it's not too little.

01:32:10.780 That means it's too, it's not too little.

01:32:14.560 That means that there's no room to grow, I think.

01:32:18.080 It's not too high.

01:32:19.400 I mean, it's not.

01:32:19.780 Right.

01:32:22.300 It's not.

01:32:22.880 Isn't too.

01:32:24.200 It's a weird phrasing of that.

01:32:25.900 Now I'm completely.

01:32:26.780 Right?

01:32:27.460 Yeah.

01:32:27.940 It is too little.

01:32:30.160 It would say you want it higher.

01:32:31.520 It's higher.

01:32:31.820 So, it's not too little.

01:32:32.900 You want it lower or the same.

01:32:34.340 Or the same.

01:32:34.860 Okay.

01:32:35.560 Number two, not a Baptist.

01:32:39.120 You're white.

01:32:40.760 1976.

01:32:42.260 The best predictor.

01:32:43.460 The second best predictor that you were white.

01:32:45.720 You were not a Baptist.

01:32:48.040 Number three, not a fundamentalist.

01:32:52.220 Number four, trusts people.

01:32:55.560 Believes people are helpful.

01:32:58.140 Voted for a GOP presidential candidate.

01:33:00.120 Approved of striking, of police striking citizens, 63%.

01:33:05.720 Approved of police striking citizens?

01:33:09.340 Isn't that a little insane?

01:33:10.640 Well, it's insane because, of course, no one would want that in a normal everyday circumstance,

01:33:16.000 but everyone would support it if a police officer was being attacked.

01:33:19.540 Right.

01:33:19.680 So, I don't know what...

01:33:21.540 Now, think of this.

01:33:22.160 This is 1976.

01:33:23.140 Right.

01:33:23.320 This is 10 years after the, you know, police were hosing people down.

01:33:27.620 So, that was 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.

01:33:32.940 That was 7th best predictor.

01:33:35.220 And it was 63.3% said, yeah, that's good if you're white.

01:33:40.640 All right.

01:33:42.120 2016.

01:33:43.780 What's the number one indicator on social attitudes that says you're white?

01:33:51.640 With 66.6%...

01:33:55.120 Love of mayonnaise?

01:33:55.780 No, but that'd be products.

01:33:59.160 I'm sorry.

01:33:59.560 This is social attitude.

01:34:01.700 Approve of police striking citizens.

01:34:06.140 That's now number one.

01:34:07.600 What?

01:34:08.240 Number two, own a gun.

01:34:10.100 Favor the death penalty.

01:34:11.320 Own a rifle.

01:34:12.200 Vote a GOP.

01:34:13.900 Spending on blacks isn't too little is next.

01:34:16.220 Glenn.

01:34:16.980 Back.

01:34:18.060 Mercury.

01:34:18.540 So, today's the day the book, Addicted to Outrage, comes out.

01:34:26.260 And I urge you to get it and get one for a friend of yours that you think, you know, may not even like me, but, you know, is open because they know this is not going to work.

01:34:40.100 And share it and read it together.

01:34:42.360 However, I wrote the book so it can be disarming enough to, you know, appeal to everybody except, you know, probably the hardcore zealot who is just playing for, you know, team marks or whatever.

01:35:00.540 And a lot of people have misconstrued what I have been leading to, which is this book, as surrender.

01:35:08.840 But I wanted to have somebody on that is the quintessential example of what I'm talking about.

01:35:15.860 What I'm talking about is changing the way we make our arguments, basing them in reason and fact, and finding a way that will appeal to the most amount of people.

01:35:30.240 Prager University is that example.

01:35:33.700 Prager University.

01:35:34.500 There's no hyperbole there.

01:35:36.560 There's no craziness.

01:35:38.260 There's no name calling.

01:35:39.680 You don't get angry.

01:35:40.820 Now, the left does.

01:35:42.400 But that's because they've they've they've disconnected from reality.

01:35:46.260 But the average person who will watch that and it's making an impact.

01:35:52.040 Dennis Prager is with us now.

01:35:53.600 Dennis, you guys up to a billion views yet?

01:35:57.640 Is Dennis there?

01:35:58.520 Great question.

01:36:00.160 You don't hear me?

01:36:02.040 Yeah, I do now.

01:36:02.800 Yeah.

01:36:02.900 Hello?

01:36:03.960 Yes.

01:36:04.280 Okay.

01:36:04.580 You're on.

01:36:05.240 Okay.

01:36:05.400 First of all, it was a beautiful introduction and I wish you would have continued because I've I'm just reveling in your praise.

01:36:14.400 I so because coming from you, it's a big deal.

01:36:19.820 But anyway, are we up to where we're well beyond a billion views collectively this year?

01:36:25.320 We'll have a billion views.

01:36:26.740 We're now, I think, at about 700 million for this year.

01:36:31.220 That's incredible.

01:36:32.140 And when you started this, Dennis, did you have any idea it would be this big?

01:36:38.060 Glenn, I give you my word.

01:36:40.180 When we started it, if somebody would have said you will have 10 million views within five years, I would have said, give me a break.

01:36:49.260 Come on.

01:36:49.840 I live in reality.

01:36:51.480 I wrote a chapter in my book on happiness about not having expectations.

01:36:55.740 Give me a break.

01:36:57.440 Right.

01:36:57.960 So what is the...

01:36:59.700 So why does it work, Dennis?

01:37:04.040 Why does it work, do you think?

01:37:06.100 It actually...

01:37:07.240 You actually did summarize it.

01:37:09.000 If you give good ideas in a totally accessible and rational...

01:37:19.800 I am in love with reason.

01:37:22.320 Reason is not enough to make a good world.

01:37:25.400 You need God and reason.

01:37:27.560 God without reason is fanaticism.

01:37:29.840 Reason without God ultimately just doesn't work.

01:37:33.540 So the two are needed for a good world.

01:37:35.820 My preoccupation since high school is goodness.

01:37:38.960 It sounds corny.

01:37:40.580 I admit it.

01:37:41.980 But it's just true.

01:37:44.620 That's all.

01:37:45.020 I hate evil.

01:37:46.840 My favorite biblical verse is, those of you who love God must hate evil.

01:37:51.420 I wish every priest, minister, and rabbi quoted it every Saturday or Sunday.

01:37:58.380 But if you make it, just as you said, there's no name-calling.

01:38:02.780 Here, dear viewer, are the facts in the most rational and entertaining way we can present it.

01:38:11.400 It apparently is phenomenal.

01:38:13.660 And my other belief is that it's universal.

01:38:17.620 I was invited by young people in Romania to speak this summer.

01:38:22.000 And I went to Romania.

01:38:23.800 1,500 people, mostly young people, who knew English.

01:38:29.960 There was no translator.

01:38:32.040 Came to hear me in two Romanian cities, Bucharest and Cluj.

01:38:35.980 And only because they view these videos.

01:38:39.280 When you, I mean, you just turned 70.

01:38:44.740 Happy birthday.

01:38:47.200 And you, you were, I mean, you were appointed by Reagan for the Helsinki Accords.

01:38:52.960 You were there for that.

01:38:54.120 You've seen the world.

01:38:56.080 You've seen the world on the brink of, of launching missiles.

01:39:00.420 I mean, I remember that time, Dennis.

01:39:02.140 I mean, I wasn't, obviously I wasn't around in the administration, but outside of the administration, it sure felt like we were close to something either really good or really bad.

01:39:12.180 Now it just feels like we're really close to something really bad.

01:39:16.900 Would you compare the times?

01:39:18.640 I mean, in your 70 years of life, where does this fall, what we're experiencing now?

01:39:24.820 What, can you compare it to any other time?

01:39:26.800 I, I think that the crisis in America is the greatest in my lifetime and the greatest since the actual civil war.

01:39:37.140 I never engage in hyperbole.

01:39:39.860 I, I may, I may like anyone be wrong, but I took a vow 35 years ago when I started radio that I, not only would I try to tell the truth and I've never been accused of a lie.

01:39:52.500 I am proud to tell you, I've been called every word, but, but not liar.

01:39:56.800 And, uh, I, I took another vow.

01:39:59.960 Don't even exaggerate because it, it works for about a year, but it, it gradually people understand.

01:40:07.820 Well, he doesn't really mean that he's just overstating the case.

01:40:11.300 So I am not overstating when I say we are in a civil war in the United States.

01:40:16.820 It is largely, thank God, not violent.

01:40:20.060 I pray it remains not violent, but there, the gap between the left and the rest of the country,

01:40:26.800 uh, is tremendous.

01:40:28.960 Uh, I mean, that, that it is now normative.

01:40:32.560 I mean, normative in schools, not to call children, boys or girls, because you don't want to impose a gender identity.

01:40:40.820 That is, it is sick to the point of child abuse, but it is normative.

01:40:47.580 We are watching crazy people take our country.

01:40:52.760 So this is the interesting thing, Dennis, that, that I read about in the book.

01:40:56.740 And I don't think the average person understands this.

01:41:00.520 They look at the average Democrat as the problem.

01:41:04.280 The, the average Democrat is not the one coming up with the cisgender normative speak.

01:41:10.460 It is, it is the postmodernist Marxist radicals that are really in the institutions of higher education that have formulated this whole system.

01:41:21.360 And now they're just rolling it out and the Democrats are just going along with it.

01:41:26.500 I think some of them are starting to be a little freaked out by it, uh, but it is, it's the postmodernist movement that is all about destruction of the Western way of life.

01:41:38.260 There is no, there's no cohabitation here with that philosophy.

01:41:44.660 Yeah.

01:41:45.380 The problem, however, is that the people who don't really believe in it among Democrats, let's say, don't fight it because, and this is, this is the tragedy.

01:41:58.180 This is the tragedy.

01:41:59.660 Liberals, with the exception of a guy like Alan Dershowitz, liberals don't understand that their enemy is not conservatives.

01:42:07.860 Their enemy is the left.

01:42:10.820 Conservatives do not want to undo the liberal order.

01:42:13.840 The left wants to undo the liberal order.

01:42:16.860 Yes.

01:42:18.040 You mean classic liberal when you say that?

01:42:21.940 Yes.

01:42:22.440 No, yes, even, no, even, even the modern liberal.

01:42:26.200 I mean, Alan Dershowitz is, I don't know if he's a classic liberal or a modern liberal.

01:42:30.700 Alan Dershowitz, professor of law at Harvard, lifelong Democrat, Hillary Clinton supporter, said to me,

01:42:36.860 it is on film, not just, not, not only on, uh, on audio, said to me, Dennis, as an American, as a liberal, as a Jew, I, I don't fear the right.

01:42:48.940 I fear the left.

01:42:51.120 Dennis, I, I have had people, I, I just had a dinner last night with somebody that would shock you.

01:42:57.080 Um, and privately said exactly the same thing and is wondering how to present this.

01:43:05.720 So he's not just destroyed, uh, by his own friends and his own side.

01:43:11.480 I mean, there are people that are coming out.

01:43:13.360 I've had people tell me this over and over again.

01:43:15.340 I'm more afraid of our side than your side now, because my side's unleashed.

01:43:21.180 They're just, every, all standards are changing overnight and you have to adopt 100% or you're destroyed.

01:43:27.980 Well, that's right, because all leftism is totalitarian.

01:43:31.840 There's never been an exception.

01:43:33.920 They, you are either totally with us or if you deviate, uh, you need to go to a re-education camp.

01:43:40.460 We allow, see, we allow people who deviate among conservatives.

01:43:45.140 Our intent is gigantic.

01:43:47.860 Uh, their intent is, is you, you, if you, if you say there are only two genders, you're a bigot.

01:43:56.840 That's, that's the, it's the end of the issue.

01:43:59.960 So, uh, you know that there are, do you know that there are girls, uh, teenage girls, I mean,

01:44:06.840 and even in the early teenage years who have their breasts removed because they think they're boys.

01:44:12.740 I think this is, why is that, why is that not mutilation?

01:44:18.220 Totally, totally.

01:44:20.160 It is.

01:44:21.280 When you're turning, when you turn 18, you know, you do what you want.

01:44:24.640 I mean, whatever.

01:44:25.900 Uh, but, uh, you know, when you are, before you have settled, and I don't even know if 18 is,

01:44:31.240 is young enough to mutilate your body like that.

01:44:33.620 Uh, I mean, studies are showing now that, that already some of these kids who are doing this,

01:44:39.300 the suicide rate's going through the roof because they're changing.

01:44:43.000 That's what they feel at 13.

01:44:44.780 That's not what they feel at 18.

01:44:46.380 Right.

01:44:46.900 Changing.

01:44:47.760 Johns Hopkins, Johns Hopkins University was the leader in sex change surgery,

01:44:52.860 and they abandoned it.

01:44:55.160 They eventually abandoned it.

01:44:57.940 And Johns Hopkins University.

01:45:01.840 Go ahead.

01:45:02.580 Go ahead.

01:45:02.740 Now, the Johns Hopkins University was, was, is the progressive hospital.

01:45:08.500 It was built based on, you know, all of the universities over in Germany.

01:45:13.180 They were the, they were the first one that brought all of this stuff, uh, over here.

01:45:18.240 It's Johns Hopkins, uh, Johns Hopkins University.

01:45:20.360 It's a progressive, uh, uh, university that, that is, is hard left in its origins as you can

01:45:27.480 possibly get.

01:45:30.320 I didn't know about its origins.

01:45:32.200 I, I've certainly known that it's on the left, but that's almost redundant with regard

01:45:36.320 to any university today.

01:45:37.960 Yeah.

01:45:38.340 Yeah.

01:45:38.480 By the way, I wish you were only confined to universities when president Trump said in

01:45:44.920 Warsaw that we need to protect Western civilization.

01:45:47.640 He was attacked by the New York Times editorial board.

01:45:50.880 I know.

01:45:51.600 It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, these people don't just dominate the universities and

01:45:56.400 now the high schools.

01:45:57.640 They also dominate the media to, to say, you know, I'm more concerned.

01:46:03.000 I'm more concerned.

01:46:04.020 I'm more concerned about the new media, Dennis, on what they're doing to people like you.

01:46:07.860 How many videos have, have been, uh, have been banned from Prager university?

01:46:13.580 Well, that, that's another story.

01:46:16.540 It's actually restricted.

01:46:17.740 In other words, uh, YouTube owned by Google has taken about 80 of our 340 videos.

01:46:25.100 We, they're all five minutes videos just for your, for your listeners who don't know.

01:46:29.280 Uh, and they come out every week and, you know, have you found a, have you found a pattern

01:46:35.300 in the ones that have been banned or, or restricted?

01:46:38.480 Have you found a pattern?

01:46:39.920 It's a, uh, there were two patterns.

01:46:43.160 One is if, if, if it, well, here, here are almost guarantees.

01:46:49.580 If it speaks about how wonderful the United States is, if it defends Israel or if it's

01:46:55.820 critical of, of Islamist thought, that it's almost definitely going to be restricted.

01:47:01.480 Uh, beyond that, it is completely random.

01:47:05.660 I, I mean, when, uh, you know, Victor Davis Hanson, who was about as soft-spoken a professor

01:47:11.480 as exists in, uh, in the world today, gives a course on, uh, in five minutes on the Korean

01:47:18.380 war, it goes on the restricted list.

01:47:20.640 I mean, folks, I think people need to understand the restricted list is supposed to be for

01:47:25.960 pornography and violence.

01:47:28.280 Alan Dershowitz gave illegal defense of Israel and that, that was put up on the, uh, on the

01:47:33.700 restricted list.

01:47:35.380 Dershowitz.

01:47:35.880 That's what's so crazy.

01:47:37.180 Dennis, I got to run.

01:47:37.880 Thank you so much.

01:47:38.760 Uh, Dennis Prager, uh, you can follow him at, you bet, DennisPrager.com, uh, Prager

01:47:44.140 University.

01:47:44.780 Uh, I wanted to have him on today because this is really the approach of the book that

01:47:50.220 I'm putting out.

01:47:50.780 It's not a surrender.

01:47:52.140 It's not anything.

01:47:53.040 It's, it's how do we fight this?

01:47:55.620 We have to fight this in a different way.

01:47:58.920 Prager University is a great example of that.

01:48:01.780 It works.

01:48:03.020 It works.

01:48:04.280 Back in just a second.

01:48:07.340 I want to tell you a little bit about Goldline.

01:48:09.020 Goldline, I've been telling you about their, uh, new Maple Flex card, which, which breaks

01:48:14.660 off into smaller pieces for barter and trade, but don't forget about the importance of small

01:48:19.260 gold bars as well.

01:48:20.380 I mean, really small gold bars.

01:48:21.840 They're like, you know, 10th of an ounce when it comes to protecting ourselves and our

01:48:25.500 families, our portfolios, we have to make sure somebody has something left.

01:48:30.380 Uh, if you look at what is happening with inflation, you look at what's now happening

01:48:35.100 with trade yesterday, we went and put another $200 billion in China.

01:48:39.020 We got another $267 trillion that are a billion that are coming.

01:48:42.900 It's just not, this is not going to end well.

01:48:45.640 It's just not.

01:48:46.800 So what happens when people start to flee from the dollar?

01:48:51.320 I asked Goldline to create smaller bars of gold and silver that people could carry with

01:48:57.280 them in case of a, you know, you know, horrible event.

01:49:00.200 In addition to considering the new silver Maple Flex, remember Goldline also has the exclusive

01:49:05.620 credit card size holder containing five individually sealed 10th of an ounce gold bars, which are

01:49:11.380 also minted by the Royal Canadian Mint.

01:49:14.440 Legal tender, gold and silver.

01:49:16.940 Things go horribly.

01:49:18.420 You'll be protected.

01:49:19.820 You owe it to yourself to find out if this is right for you.

01:49:23.180 Goldline.

01:49:23.740 Learn more about these gold and silver bars by calling 866-GOLDLINE or going to goldline.com.

01:49:29.580 Call them right now.

01:49:30.640 They're good people that are waiting for your phone call at 866-GOLDLINE.

01:49:35.260 866-GOLDLINE or goldline.com.

01:49:41.080 Welcome back to the program.

01:49:42.520 Good question from a listener at World of Stew at Glenn Beck on Twitter.

01:49:46.180 When does Addicted to Outrage come out?

01:49:48.660 I can't remember.

01:49:50.360 And that's a great question.

01:49:51.640 That is so weird.

01:49:52.040 It's today.

01:49:52.380 It's today.

01:49:52.920 Have we not mentioned that today?

01:49:53.900 We haven't mentioned it yet, but I wanted to make sure people got that because it is out

01:49:57.100 today and people need to know that it's available.

01:50:00.960 Here's one of the things.

01:50:02.340 We're beating it so hard because we are not going to use mainstream media because I don't

01:50:07.660 believe that a four-minute interview where they're yelling at you for three and then

01:50:11.040 say in the last 20 seconds, so tell me about your book.

01:50:13.780 Oh, it's on sale today?

01:50:14.740 Great.

01:50:15.560 It doesn't do anything.

01:50:16.520 And I don't want to be a part of that.

01:50:17.780 So we're doing all digital media.

01:50:20.840 Talk radio.

01:50:21.640 And talk radio.

01:50:22.360 And if it can, if it can be, you know, top three with all digital media, that says something

01:50:31.260 you don't need.

01:50:33.180 You do not need the mainstream media at all.

01:50:37.500 They are clueless.

01:50:39.140 They don't know what's happening in the world.

01:50:42.940 And it's a nice signal to send.

01:50:44.520 I'll say we complain about the media a lot, but, you know, showing the power, I think,

01:50:48.060 is an interesting way of demonstrating.

01:50:49.900 We just really don't even need them.

01:50:51.380 And you know what?

01:50:53.020 It's, if I'm going to tell you, stop, stop with the media, then I have to do the same

01:50:59.000 thing.

01:50:59.680 Dismiss them.

01:51:00.920 They're old and outdated.

01:51:03.440 Addicted outrage available everywhere today.

01:51:05.540 Mercury.
