00:01:22.860 welcome to the program we're so glad that you have tuned in today uh because we needed to have a talk

00:01:31.220 about what's really happening what's really happening uh and what we're facing and what choices

00:01:38.680 we have in front of us would you turn in your gun

00:01:44.120 would you turn your gun in if the federal government decided uh yeah we gotta we gotta confiscate guns

00:01:55.460 peter king now is uh is sponsoring a new assault weapons ban because it works so well the first time

00:02:05.880 so we have an assault weapons ban why well because people are panicking and republicans are falling in

00:02:15.720 line now donald trump seemed to take a step in the opposite direction yesterday but we need to talk

00:02:21.100 about that and i'd like to know from you you willing to turn in your guns

00:02:26.600 let's open up the phone line 888-727-BECK 888-727-BECK we go there next

00:02:35.480 this is the glenbeck program

00:02:38.280 you know on the average it takes police 45 minutes to respond to a home security alarm and

00:02:45.560 that's not because they're not doing something or a dunk of donuts or whatever joke it is

00:02:49.140 it's because whenever there is a burglar alarm that goes off in a house that usually is just a false

00:02:56.140 alarm i don't know how many times the police have shown up in my house and it's because we've had a

00:03:01.040 false alarm like i'm sorry they're like we're gonna start charging you lots of money here soon

00:03:06.220 and like i know i'm sorry anyway that's why it takes 45 minutes because your 9-1-1 call goes to

00:03:12.660 the bottom of the list however if you have simply safe because they're the only people that are

00:03:18.880 monitoring homes that have this ability now if you have simply safe and you put their security

00:03:25.360 camera there and you ask them no extra charge nothing they will give video verification now what

00:03:33.920 video verification means is they call the police when they're calling the police because your alarm

00:03:38.960 went off they call and say yes and we have eyes on somebody has broken into the house that changes the

00:03:46.980 response time from 45 minutes to seven minutes right now simply safe has a huge deal going on just

00:03:54.160 so you can get protection like no other company provides no contracts no fine print you own the

00:04:01.680 system and it's 15 bucks a month 14.99 i mean you can't beat it it's a hundred dollar value right now

00:04:08.880 you'll get the free hd security camera that will provide that video verification all you have to do

00:04:14.320 is go to simply safe beck.com that's simply safe beck.com

00:04:19.200 the assault weapons ban the democratic leaders have been reluctant to advance despite strong support

00:04:32.940 among their rank and file members in the house just got its first republican backer

00:04:37.200 yay it's pete king peter king said these are weapons of mass slaughter

00:04:45.120 huh i don't see any need for them in everyday society

00:04:52.240 huh i mean if pete doesn't see it then then it's i think constitution says there's a pete clause

00:04:59.060 yeah in the constitution that anyone named she'll not be infringed except by except by getting pete

00:05:03.700 right so that's why mayor pete is such a big candidate on the left right because he can step

00:05:07.520 in and ban anything at any time the pete clause right there is no pete clause you know it's really

00:05:13.420 amazing to me let me let me let me explain the constitution right now people are saying we have

00:05:21.400 to change the constitution and take that right away now what does it say in our declaration of

00:05:30.720 independence what is our mission statement we hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are

00:05:38.300 created equal there is no pete clause that all men are created equal and are endowed by their creator

00:05:44.880 with certain unalienable unchangeable rights among these are life liberty and the pursuit of happiness

00:05:53.520 so let me let me take it out of the political realm

00:05:56.000 what was the story yesterday stew oh um the story yesterday that talked about how uh 45 was it 45

00:06:07.580 or 35 children or 35 children 35 children uh have been killed in a hot car this year alone last year

00:06:17.620 it was like 56 people were killed in a hot car 52 and it was children 52 children children what happens is

00:06:24.340 the parents are so dumb they leave their kid in a hot car now your kid can die within 15 minutes

00:06:33.580 left in a hot car a car can go up in temperature within 10 minutes and a child can die in 15 now we all

00:06:46.200 seem to know not to do that to dogs but our children while they're sleeping yeah and it's 100 degrees

00:06:53.420 outside or it's 90 degrees outside and that car is a is an oven so what are you going to do about it

00:07:02.360 there are more kids that die in hot cars than there were kids that were killed by guns this year

00:07:12.480 well you're talking about mass shootings so yeah mass shootings am i misunderstanding because i mean

00:07:18.300 we talked about this a little bit yesterday the washington post made up a this big profile and they

00:07:22.740 said 54 years 165 mass shootings 1196 victims and they listed them all in very tiny print to kind of

00:07:29.420 give you this overwhelming yes feeling that like the hell the peg of a problem is well that winds up

00:07:34.540 to be 22 people per year which is a problem it is it is not nothing it's a big deal 30 35 children just

00:07:41.680 this year in a hot car last year it was 52 children that's a lot that's a lot that's way too many no kid

00:07:50.420 should die in a hot car that's crazy but we don't ban cars now here's the here's the other thing we don't

00:07:57.060 ban we also don't tell people you have to have a license and a background check to have a child

00:08:06.340 why now to adopt sure but to have a child no that is your in uh inalienable right

00:08:18.040 that power to have a child was bestowed on you with god so if your body is working the way god

00:08:28.700 intended it well you can have a child and no one no one in this country would say oh well let's

00:08:38.440 infringe on those rights you know i i want to see before you have a child i want to make sure that

00:08:45.420 you're a good parent i want to make sure that you're the right kind of people you know the only

00:08:50.240 people who ever infringed on that progressives progressives it's the reason we have a blood test

00:08:58.380 now why do we have a blood test today why do we have it does this i mean do they do anything with it

00:09:05.940 what what the hell is the blood test for the blood test was to make sure that you weren't marrying any

00:09:12.540 cousins you weren't marrying any undesirables you're not you're not gonna marry one of them

00:09:19.580 useless people it was the beginning steps of eugenics to make sure that we only allow the right

00:09:28.960 people to breed we don't want a country of imbeciles and idiots and quote coloreds

00:09:36.760 that's why we have the blood test and the marriage license it was an evil reason to start it

00:09:46.320 so now what the hell are we doing do they have a right to do that do you think they have a right

00:09:53.920 to tell you hey by the way you can only have one child no because it's a god-given right

00:10:00.640 that's what the bill of rights means that's what our declaration of independence means that's what's

00:10:11.960 different about us than any other country we say that man is born with certain rights and one of

00:10:19.760 those rights is to defend yourself well how are you going to defend yourself you're what you're going

00:10:27.400 to defend yourself against the united states military well yeah it seems to me that isis and

00:10:33.960 al-qaeda and everybody else was doing a pretty good job seems like the rebels in the middle east are

00:10:38.280 doing a pretty good job what is it that why are they holding up flags american flags and signs that say

00:10:45.920 we need a second amendment in hong kong today because yes if that's your own if that's the last resort

00:10:54.260 if your government has become so tyrannical yes i will defend myself against fighter jets and tanks i will

00:11:04.420 we all will

00:11:07.380 they come and they round people up in countries because they can't defend themselves

00:11:19.580 you have a right to self-defense you have an inalienable right now of course these guns are are mass

00:11:33.020 destruction weapons okay let's let's let's not equate any gun to what russia just blew up accidentally in one

00:11:44.780 one of their one of their towns oops there goes a nuclear weapon that's a weapon of mass destruction

00:11:54.060 a weapon of war any gun any knife any pair of hands is a weapon of war

00:12:06.460 what's happening right now is peter king and others on the democrat or republican side they don't

00:12:13.420 understand the first amendment the second amendment any of the amendments they don't understand them

00:12:20.620 shall not be

00:12:22.940 infringed

00:12:24.620 infringed shall not be

00:12:27.180 you can't change this right

00:12:30.380 it's the only one that has that

00:12:33.740 clause in it

00:12:35.820 you know it doesn't say a freedom of speech freedom of religion it says just says shall not

00:12:40.380 congress shall not do these things this one is no no no not only so you shall not take these guns

00:12:47.980 you shall not even infringe on them you can't even come close to this one well you know you're

00:12:54.620 what you're not gonna ban somebody crying fire from a crowded movie theater well that one doesn't

00:13:02.220 say shall not be infringed does it this one does

00:13:11.340 and it's not that i love guns it's that i love freedom i love freedom

00:13:18.460 what is the real cause of what's happening to us

00:13:27.100 i'll get i'll get to it here in 60 seconds stand by

00:13:36.220 you know as an employer you can sometimes find it difficult to motivate some of the people that work

00:13:40.620 with you exhibit a the hapless millennial you've hired him not off the street but off the floor of

00:13:47.020 his mother's basement filled with options of an empty of ambition he um he mostly breathes your

00:13:55.020 company's oxygen and collects a paycheck should you fire him well maybe maybe he's young maybe he's

00:14:04.380 lost his motivation because he's been in a system that has taught him everything that is the exact

00:14:09.660 opposite of the truth the weight of an entitlement and video game has given him terrible posture and

00:14:17.100 so you look at him and say you know what not only screwed up look at his posture maybe the first step

00:14:22.380 is to get that guy in x chair x chair patented dynamic variable lumbar support system even a millennial

00:15:20.220 i want to talk to you about the real problem in our society that no one seems to want to address

00:15:25.820 but it is everywhere we are in a society right now that is fundamentally changing

00:15:35.660 we are changing on many many levels we're changing we're changing jobs we know that

00:15:43.900 things are not going to be the same massive companies are trying to find their way through this

00:15:51.340 this change our towns are changing there's no jobs in many of our small towns in america farming

00:16:01.980 is seemingly dying in this nation we are we are a nation of farmers when you lose that you begin to

00:16:12.700 lose real meaning our our city skylines are so bright we can't even see the stars and ask ourselves

00:16:21.420 wow who who who are we let alone who am i

00:16:30.540 we are being filled with meaningless junk

00:16:35.580 we're a nation of shoppers

00:16:39.900 we're all trying to fill some empty hole

00:16:43.500 there doesn't seem to be any answers not from the ages no didn't look backward look backward and

00:16:52.380 see if you can find any answers no nobody at any time had any good answers

00:16:57.100 no it's all new answers that doesn't make sense

00:17:03.820 our children aren't talking to each other we're just texting one another we're we're becoming animals

00:17:09.580 online

00:17:15.020 there's a real problem with depression

00:17:17.020 suicides are through the roof what is the cause of mass shooters

00:17:27.100 most times it's loneliness

00:17:29.500 yes they've been ostracized they feel alone they don't have any meaning in their life

00:17:39.180 they're looking just for something to make them feel or worse looking for something to make them

00:17:45.980 famous because that's how empty we are

00:17:54.220 do you know that scientists now say they're on the verge

00:17:56.780 of creating a pill

00:17:58.780 to make loneliness go away

00:18:04.700 what the hell what the hell does that pill do to you

00:18:10.380 it makes you not feel lonely

00:18:14.380 should we not be working on a pill

00:18:17.740 and be maybe perhaps working on ourselves

00:18:21.180 to be able to see people for who they are and where they're going and what's happening in their life

00:18:26.860 depression is something that hits and you think it's logical it starts someplace logical

00:18:44.140 and then it's like a snowball and if you're prone to clinical depression at all

00:18:51.340 and we all go through periods of time in our life

00:18:54.060 where this happens to us there's a chemical reaction you're not getting the endorphins in your brain that you need

00:19:04.700 and so what happens is it starts out logical and then it becomes clinical then it becomes chemical

00:19:10.700 and you go further and further and further down until you start thinking you know the answer is

00:19:16.140 the world's better without me but i'm not going alone

00:19:19.020 the world's better without me

00:19:21.660 who's having a serious conversation

00:19:28.700 about

00:19:32.460 the mental health of our society

00:19:39.420 who's having that conversation why do you think

00:19:42.140 drugs opioids are so out of whack right now

00:19:48.700 we're having an epidemic it's worse than anything i think we've ever had before

00:19:54.780 and i've lived a few years i remember how bad crack was

00:19:59.900 i remember the heroin plague i remember all of this this is worse because it's coming in pills

00:20:06.540 and it's going everywhere it's in the inner city it's in the heartland

00:20:13.500 it's happening with old people business people homeless people it's happening with everybody

00:20:21.420 and it's rotting us from the inside

00:20:27.260 it's an opioid crisis it's not an opioid crisis it's a gun crisis it's not a gun crisis

00:20:34.940 it's a human crisis it's a soul crisis it's a loneliness crisis it's a lack of meaning crisis

00:20:43.660 it's a lack of meaning crisis it's a depression crisis

00:20:52.220 people only shoot other people when they feel there's no meaning attached to anything

00:25:01.420 so we're talking about uh gun control now peter king is the first republican to sign on

00:25:12.220 on the gun control and the assault weapon ban because it worked so well the last time

00:25:20.780 the problem is not guns and i know people will roll their eyes at that it's not guns just like

00:25:28.220 the problem is not drugs the problem is not the internet the internet just is it's what you do with

00:25:34.780 it the problem is not video games it's just what you do with it the the problem is not the gun the

00:25:44.220 problem is that while the gun is fully loaded too many of us are empty inside

00:25:49.740 i told you i was reading this book um it's called the volunteer it's about a guy who had never heard

00:25:57.740 of um his story is just being told for the first time because it was lost under the soviet era

00:26:04.060 and it came out about 1975 and then wasn't really told and this is the first book it just came out a

00:26:09.420 couple of months ago first book about this guy he's an amazing guy he was a regular guy

00:26:14.220 in poland not jewish and um was seeing what was happening and he was in the underground and heard

00:26:22.860 that these people were being sent to auschwitz this is before anybody knew about gassing or anything else

00:26:28.460 and he said somebody's got to get into that prison and find out what's going on and let the rest of

00:26:33.180 the world know and so he volunteers to go in and he goes in and he's in this prison camp and it's you

00:26:42.620 know it's auschwitz and he goes through all of it all of it he's there for two solid years and he's

00:26:49.980 writing and smuggling things out to the west and the west isn't paying attention he can't get even

00:26:55.580 warsaw to pay attention they just blow it off and say it can't be true blah blah blah he he's there as

00:27:02.300 they're building bigger crematoriums and gas chambers okay he sees it all he sees that they're doing

00:27:10.060 five thousand people a day he finally says i've got to escape i got to get out of here

00:27:17.420 and i've got to tell the world myself so he does nobody listens to him again

00:27:24.380 he spent his whole life getting people trying just to listen then the soviets are coming in

00:27:28.620 he's trying to get people to listen and england and america won't listen to what the russians are doing to people

00:27:35.260 he's eventually rounded up by the russians and he's killed after five years of this just heroic

00:27:42.700 struggle of just this ordinary guy

00:27:47.500 before he's rounded up he just writes you know his memories of auschwitz and everything

00:27:54.220 and it said that his orientation had shifted no longer did he need his readers to understand an

00:28:02.220 evil that defied comprehension instead he only asked them to look within themselves

00:28:09.180 for that which they could share with those who suffer quote i have listened to many confessions

00:28:15.740 of my friends before their deaths they all reacted in the same unexpected way they regretted they hadn't

00:28:24.060 given enough to other people they hadn't given enough of their hearts of their truth sorry of

00:28:31.180 the truth the only thing that remained after them on earth the only thing that was positive and had a lasting

00:28:39.500 value was that that they could give of themselves to others that is the core of our sickness

00:28:49.980 we don't have any institution or anything else that is really training us to do those things

00:29:00.860 to be that person to be accountable to something higher not because you're forced to

00:29:09.100 but because it's right and it's the only meaning in life

00:29:13.900 that's the illness we have a hole inside of us and nothing of the world will be able to fill that

00:29:24.860 up service seeing the pain of others not gun control what a typical politician and

00:29:36.620 i don't know well western answer to just give you drugs have you no longer have loneliness to take

00:29:47.420 away your options so you no longer are violent what are you talking about i mean a pat gray is here

00:29:52.780 with us who's so you know i would say an expert on the constitution and he is very familiar with the

00:29:57.580 pete clause now this is a clause of course that allows all of your unalienable rights to be

00:30:03.820 overwhelmed if someone named pete says that they should be yeah and it's a big reason why pete

00:30:08.780 buddha judge is is in the race right now because he could really overwhelm anything he doesn't need

00:30:13.020 any laws passed right he just can just say i'm pete wow do you think the pete clause is very clear

00:30:18.780 though in the good and plenty clause oh yeah within it this the sub clause is the pete clause is the yeah

00:30:24.460 the good and plenty clause of course was actually quoted by who was it wrangle uh yeah

00:30:29.980 uh to to it was he didn't say it was verified might have been john conyers yeah it was john

00:30:36.860 conyers i don't think he actually said the good and plenty clause i think that's what it morphed

00:30:40.460 into i think he said something i think it was a good and welfare clause i like this is like the idea

00:30:45.260 that they can justify anything and these hidden like you know the words might be there they just mean

00:30:49.980 new things to them every day right yeah and they always make this argument that it's a living document

00:30:54.380 it's like well in a way it is a living document right you can be amended you can make it it can

00:30:59.580 always change but you can't just make it mean new things without amending it that's deconstruction

00:31:04.300 that's different that's progressivism that is uh post-modernism so uh pat they come to your door

00:31:12.540 this passes now last time this passed you didn't have to give up your gun it just you couldn't buy any

00:31:18.380 new you couldn't buy any new guns um and uh and that was it but i don't know if that's going to be

00:31:24.300 enough for these people they banned the guns so you can't buy anymore then they go and say you know

00:31:31.020 what we need to we need to round these guns up they're just too dangerous and they'll start with a

00:31:35.900 buyback yeah and i'm not selling it back not interested in selling not interested yeah not

00:31:41.740 interest first of all mandatory buyback yeah i know

00:31:49.020 yeah well i lost mine i lost my weapons uh yeah wow how many of them uh i just only had i only had

00:31:57.100 two and i i took them with me to a range and and then i i you know i just absent-mindedly left them

00:32:03.420 there holy cow yeah that's not responsible i did i called uh the authorities to let them know that hey i

00:32:09.500 forgot my guns at the range and i don't know where they are now i went back and they were gone

00:32:13.900 and my cell phone died i have to tell you you know me i'm a great sportsman i'm a great sports yeah

00:32:19.980 oh yeah all of my guns yeah uh-huh and i i had them in my my fishing boat because you know i i always

00:32:26.780 wanted to fish but i don't like to fish i can't get the the the well you know the fishing line gets all

00:32:32.700 tangled and stuff so i brought my guns and i was gonna fish with guns you're gonna shoot the fish in the

00:32:36.780 water yeah yeah and then just float to the top well little did i know i was i was in a lake with

00:32:43.660 flying fish oh no and they flew down and they like eagles in their claws they swooped down and

00:32:50.860 grabbed the guns usually what they do though took them to the bottom of the sea so i don't have did you

00:32:55.660 report that uh i you know i didn't have a video camera of the flying fish right and i was afraid that

00:33:05.180 people were gonna say oh you're you were you know hurting their claws and their ankles and stuff

00:33:11.260 and then pita would get a sure i didn't because i had a water accident with my guns as well did you

00:33:16.060 yeah i i uh i also took them out on a boat um to do some fishing and but and i used flex seal tape

00:33:22.380 to to flex to seal the entire it should have worked it should have worked because and then i got you saw

00:33:27.740 the boat in half first yeah i saw you flex i thought that was the way you're supposed to boat i'm not a

00:33:31.740 boatsman yeah so i thought the way you boated was to take a boat saw it in half then puts it back

00:33:37.500 together with flex seal tape yeah and so i tried that and i went out in the middle of water and i

00:33:42.140 know that i know the product works very well but i may have made a mistake and the way i applied it

00:33:46.620 you know it's weird sinks lose all the guns greg says the same thing he says he has lost his guns

00:33:53.260 how did you lose your guns greg hey how's it going it was he was boating oh no you had a

00:34:00.940 boating accident as well what happened yes what happened well i just forgot to put the plug in

00:34:08.540 the whole thing just sank to the bottom good thing you were a good swimmer i well it was you know it was

00:34:16.140 only six feet deep but oh wow you can't get to the bottom seems like that's dangerous it would

00:34:21.820 burst your eardrum oh the current courage carried them away yeah see it seems to me at this point

00:34:27.340 we shouldn't be banning guns we should be banning boats they seem very unsafe it does listen to how

00:34:31.180 many accidents we've heard about in the last five minutes okay so wait a minute wait a minute i want

00:34:34.700 to ask a serious question i'll start with you greg um greg you tell me if they ask you to turn in your

00:34:41.740 guns mandatory buyback you're a law-abiding citizen do you do it okay first thing how is it a buyback

00:34:50.220 if they never owned them right very good point the question is we could play this game all day

00:34:56.940 the question is it doesn't matter uh so you're a law-abiding citizen until you don't sell your guns

00:35:05.740 back to the government do you sell your guns to the government answer quickly we have we have a lock

00:35:14.380 on you now same answer i have for when they tell me what i can what religion i can go to okay all

00:35:23.340 right yeah thank you greg i you know what that is to me that's the right answer to the government

00:35:28.860 that's the wrong answer yeah to me that's the right answer but how many of we talk a big game now

00:35:33.900 yeah it's a lot harder but when they show up when they do they show up your door and they're like

00:35:38.620 as they've already done in new orleans after hurricane katrina and nobody gave up their guns

00:35:43.340 nobody they gave them up and they never got them back in many many cases yeah now you would hope

00:35:48.220 before it got to that point the supreme court intervenes and declares it unconstitutional so we

00:35:52.700 never have to worry about it because hopefully it's still america but if it's not uh you do have

00:35:57.740 to make a choice and i yeah and if it's not isn't the choice isn't the choice already made if you

00:36:03.740 believe in the declaration of independence well i mean look well yeah i mean it is your right it is

00:36:09.900 your duty yeah you got to believe though 90 of people even the people who would call in today and

00:36:15.660 say that they would keep their guns and no matter what would in in the face of a you know a raid

00:36:21.020 are giving them up however 10 20 of gun owners decide to keep them you have a civil war in your

00:36:26.540 hands that's still 30 million i think you have i think if they ever ever come for guns you have a civil

00:36:32.060 war i think there's enough people uh and and and they will just start shooting uh there's enough

00:36:40.620 people that will start a civil war and you will then be then the average person will then be in the

00:36:46.060 position of who i don't necessarily agree with everything those guys are doing or saying but i don't agree

00:36:53.420 with those guys who's more on my side and i think as always it will come down to personal

00:37:01.660 decision on i don't know how to feed my family i don't know what to do for almost everybody i mean

00:37:09.740 look we're all law-abiding citizens number one so when even i freaking pay my income tax and you know

00:37:15.820 what i don't feel like i want to there's a lot of things that i think the government does that are

00:37:19.420 that are wrong that violate my rights now that particular one is in the constitution unfortunately

00:37:23.820 thanks to the 16th amendment but when it comes down to things like the fourth amendment how many times is

00:37:29.180 that violated on a daily basis we're not all the time it gets all the time so i you know it is and

00:37:34.700 i'd like to i'd like to make the point real quick again so is the third so is the third we're the

00:37:38.380 only one saying it and so is the third they're quartering soldiers with the nsa in our homes right

00:37:43.820 now doing the same thing they're listening to our conversations and they are recording what our

00:37:48.780 papers and and personal papers are that is the third amendment it's just a modern version yeah

00:37:54.700 yeah but the point is though like we know our constitutional rights are being violated on a

00:37:59.580 regular basis and most people while they'll you'll fight against them we'll do shows we'll try to elect

00:38:05.340 politicians we'll do everything that we can within the system to try to make sure those constitutional

00:38:09.660 rights get respected when it comes down to it 90 of the people are going to say you know look this

00:38:15.820 is the law and i i'm just going to keep fighting for my rights there but there is a group of people

00:38:20.540 out there that are not going to go that way no and this is something this is one of the reasons why

00:38:24.380 the second amendment exists because let's just say this is just common sense reform blah blah blah

00:38:29.260 the it it doesn't always it's not always common sense reform it could be someone who's tyrannical

00:38:34.060 and the reason why that the this amendment exists in the first place is that if there if it is tyranny

00:38:39.100 then there is a way for people to fight just you just have to ask yourself both sides both

00:38:44.540 republicans and democrats think the other is either a communist or a fascist we both sides think we

00:38:51.100 are so close to being a totalitarian state we just don't see our side being the side that does it

00:38:57.260 why at that time when the one thing we agree on is the state is growing too much power why would we

00:39:06.300 give our guns up to that state and make ourselves more defenseless it's insanity it's

00:39:14.060 absolute insanity pat thank you so much for joining us you listen to the pat gray uh radio roundup in

00:44:02.380 i'm tired of the toxic tribalism infecting the very foundations of our democracy straining our

00:44:09.180 relationships and poisoning our view of our fellow humans the author of that paragraph joins me in 60

00:44:17.900 seconds this is the glenbeck program you know our our brains are not uh programmed to remember pain

00:44:27.580 accurately it's why we look back in the old days ah the old days those were good times no they really

00:44:33.340 weren't they sucked it's a biological defense mechanism that allows us to actually survive i

00:44:41.180 think the most tortured people on earth are those i think there's seven of them currently alive seven

00:44:47.100 people that have perfect recall of every day of their life perfect recall i can't imagine the hell that is

00:44:56.940 that is you remember exactly like it's happening right now your mom and dad died no way the brain

00:45:06.700 does some amazing things you know uh you fall out of a tree you break your leg you forget the pain

00:45:12.780 you remember the lesson hopefully but that pain doesn't go away for some of us sometimes it lingers

00:45:18.060 making life harder if you're suffering from pain and you want it to go away what price would you put on

00:45:25.180 on making that pain go away for yourself or for a loved one let me speak directly to wives um

00:46:14.220 Bridget Phetasy

00:46:19.260 she is a comedian she is a writer she's really screwed up uh and that's why i think i like her

00:46:30.140 so much because i can relate to her uh so much she joins us now she's just written uh an article for

00:46:37.980 the spectator called the battle cry of the politically homeless hello fellow traveler

00:46:43.900 how are you that's quite an intro she's really screwed up well i mean you are let's be let's be honest

00:46:51.260 yes uh so just for anybody who doesn't know you you were a writer for playboy uh you you've always

00:47:01.820 considered yourself a progressive but you're not somebody who really even thought about you just

00:47:06.780 did your life right yeah i kind of always refer to as my factory settings it was more you know it was

00:47:15.100 like i was in a google self-driving car and i just was born and raised a liberal democrat and worked

00:47:23.820 really hard and was chasing you know paycheck after paycheck and never really paid attention was told that

00:47:30.780 people like yourself are evil and um just kept moving until i came out of my coma and you came out

00:47:40.140 of your 13 you came out of your coma because you started saying things that all of a sudden

00:47:45.260 were not politically correct and you're like wait a minute yeah the culture i i mean i think that the

00:47:52.620 culture has shifted to the extremes in both directions so perhaps a lot of people haven't moved

00:47:59.980 the culture moved around us and yes so i was not aware of this i wasn't like i was online participating

00:48:07.580 in in the culture wars all of these years and i just stumbled into them and i think this is true for

00:48:14.060 a lot of americans and so now you write this for the spectator because nobody is i mean you've been erased

00:48:23.260 erased from playboy i mean that's saying they don't erase anything um but all of your all of your articles

00:48:30.220 that you wrote for them for a long time they're all gone very popular gone very popular and uh and you've

00:48:37.980 kind of been as the chinese would say disappeared i have a bit yeah right it's interesting time right and so

00:48:47.580 the people that are talking to you are people like me which you don't necessarily are you're not

00:48:52.860 necessarily thrilled about you're not like i'm thrilled what i'm thrilled to be talking to you

00:49:00.140 glenn how dare you no but i mean you know you never saw yourself two years ago going you know what i

00:49:07.020 might be friends with glenn back

00:49:08.060 no i would i always say this because i got sober in 2013 and i i say if you had told me in 2013 that

00:49:17.020 i would have been friends with glenn back i would have been like what drugs are you on give me more of

00:49:21.820 them so uh you you in this article you talk about how um you're just you're somebody with a brain

00:49:32.620 you have your own ideas you might disagree with people but you're not in a tribe and this has got

00:49:40.140 to stop i think you know i i get a lot of fair criticism on this obviously um from the tribes and

00:49:49.900 i'm not so naive to think we we live in a two-party system essentially when people might feel this way

00:49:56.460 but then when the going gets tougher it comes to voting day they have to pick something somebody they have

00:50:02.460 to make a choice but what you know i set up a uh an email for people to tell me how they felt about

00:50:10.060 this and some people say nobody's shifted politically they just are they just think they might be more

00:50:18.780 conservative but the culture has shifted which in a lot of cases is probably true and obviously the

00:50:24.940 what i'm hearing is self-selected because i represent these people who don't feel represented so

00:50:30.860 these are the people who are writing me now what is interesting are the people who have shifted

00:50:37.340 politically and are in swing states those are the ones who are fascinating to me like a woman wrote to

00:50:44.780 me from florida and she came center from the right because of trump's often demonizing rhetoric and

00:50:53.660 she just doesn't like the way that he speaks and as um she mentioned that she just doesn't know if she

00:51:02.300 can stomach voting for him but she certainly can't get on board with the left either and i said you know

00:51:08.860 i asked her what she would do and she doesn't know she my biggest fear is that people like that woman

00:51:15.100 will sit the election out completely that won't be good no that won't be good there's a lot of people

00:51:22.060 who are just saying i'm this it's disgusting to me on on both sides uh and not to be you know i think

00:51:31.340 ultimately to the other refrain that i hear over and over and over again are people who have been

00:51:37.580 alienated by their the left and essentially they say trump is a limited problem that we have to deal

00:51:48.940 with what they're seeing on the left socialism and um free speech erosion in a social way that kind of

00:52:00.860 approved message that everybody needs to get on board with or be canceled that that is more

00:52:07.020 insidious and dangerous in the long term than whatever is going on in the right so it's

00:52:13.020 interesting it's interesting my my inbox and if people want to email me they can i am politically

00:52:18.780 homeless at gmail feel free i'd love to hear from anyone so the criticism i get from the right the

00:52:25.260 most is that i'm of moral relativism and on the left it's that i'm um like a martin luther king kind of

00:52:34.060 white moderate what what is the left saying to you white i don't even understand that what that

00:52:42.380 i'm like the equivalent of a good german and and you know like or uh as they i heard like

00:52:50.140 a thousand times that uh martin luther king had a lot to say about white moderates which is is

00:52:56.860 ridiculous because not everybody right writing is white so this is bad argument we just we live in

00:53:04.940 a bizarre time listen to this um i'd love to get your thoughts on this we all both sides have worried

00:53:12.460 that our rights would be trampled by stormtroopers in the government right we all thought you know the

00:53:18.700 government's going to go fascist or communist or whatever and uh you know a bill of rights and and

00:53:23.660 and they're all going to be taken by the government but really it is insidious the way this is

00:53:29.340 happening the government's really the government is really becoming google amazon you know these

00:53:37.500 giant corporations and the stormtroopers are just the mob neither one of those are covered by the

00:53:45.100 constitution so yeah the the google can isolate anyone they want the government couldn't because of the

00:53:53.580 first amendment but google can and the enforcers are not coming from the government they're coming

00:53:59.820 from the people yeah this is this is what's deeply concerning to me is when it is i you know on my good

00:54:10.780 days i feel like that kind of cancel culture in particular where i'm seeing it on the left and

00:54:18.540 progress and progressives nobody's pure nobody can pass these purity tests constantly

00:54:23.420 eventually this snake will eat it so it's like a snake eating its own tail eventually it has to

00:54:29.260 eat itself and maybe fizzle out but then i see something like what happened with sarah silverman for

00:54:35.340 instance last week where she went on a podcast and she was talking about how she got she lost a movie

00:54:40.700 role because of her um because of the sketch she did in 2007 in which she was in blackface and

00:54:49.340 and and and apologized for in like 2010 on her own show and apologizing yeah and and it was a i i believe

00:54:59.420 it was a it was a criticism you know she was making fun of racism and so this is the stuff that is

00:55:09.180 deeply worrisome to me because we have to offer people paths to redemption and when you're canceling

00:55:20.300 people for things that they've apologized for that they maybe have learned from

00:55:28.060 i don't know from from the perspective of somebody who was a democrat and looking at perhaps what the

00:55:33.900 democrats are doing going into 2020 i don't actually see how that's helpful to them now you know people

00:55:40.860 on your show are like good they're walking right into a brick wall again which i i understand but from

00:55:48.460 the perspective of somebody who's uh i often hear that you know if you're in the center all of these

00:55:56.620 youtube is creating this path to the right and there's only a path to the right well that's because

00:56:01.580 the far left has eroded the center left and there is no path to the left essentially if you're you if

00:56:10.700 you're a moderate even at all you're essentially you know i don't i don't even know if you're right

00:56:17.580 if you're right of bernie you're essentially a conservative now you're as bad as me yeah you're as

00:56:23.660 bad as me and i'm bad as hitler yeah um hang on um we're going to continue our conversation with uh

00:56:30.380 bridget phetasy you can find her and follow her at twitter at bridget uh phetasy and uh bridget

00:56:36.540 phetasy.com back in just a second more on the battle cry of the political homeless um i as a gun

00:56:45.740 owner you know that i am a second amendment a firm believer in the second amendment i'm sorry peter king

00:56:52.220 you're wrong you're wrong uh and most gun owners take owning and carrying a firearm seriously i know

00:57:00.540 you do too i firmly believe that continuous training and education i was just talking to my daughter

00:57:04.940 yesterday she just got a gun she had an incident she got a gun we went training and i said you carrying

00:57:11.100 your gun and she said no dad i haven't been training with it good that's a responsible gun owner this is

00:57:17.820 why the uscca always pairs their gun giveaways with a chance to activate the life-saving education

00:57:23.900 and training of their membership the uscca fully dedicated to education training and legally

00:57:30.060 protecting responsible gun owners like you and me right now they're giving away free guns every

00:57:35.340 single day just to introduce themselves to you if you're a responsible gun owner every day in august

00:57:40.460 a free gun is given away you could be a new glock kimber or even an ar yeah i'd say this is

00:57:46.620 politically incorrect and maybe a little politically risky i don't care it's 100 free

00:57:53.100 100 secure it ends august 30th what you need to do is text the word glenn to the number 87222

00:57:59.500 right now that's g-l-e-n-n to the number 87222 get more information and rules go to protect and

00:58:06.380 defend uh dot com standard message and data rights uh rates to apply it's glenn g-l-e-n-n to the number

00:58:14.460 87222 10 second station id

00:58:36.380 bridget you're new to the gun world are you not i'm new sorry i didn't you're new to the gun you're

00:58:45.980 new to the gun world right um yes right uh and were you just your factory default settings against guns

00:58:57.580 you know i think that when you when people ask me what um when i started really opening my eyes

00:59:05.980 to to the culture wars it was around probably 2014 2015 and there was i was writing for playboy there

00:59:17.260 was yet another mass shooting and i was emotionally reacting as is completely understandable in those

00:59:26.220 situations online and i was like i don't know anything about guns i don't know how to i don't know

00:59:33.980 anything about them i don't know any i don't know anything about the laws i don't even know how to

00:59:40.220 hold one or load one and and so i realized you know i understandably why i would react emotionally

00:59:48.300 but perhaps i should maybe get some information before i was spouting my mouth off and i go on can i

00:59:55.900 tell you something bridget that is something that no one in the media does

00:59:58.700 because the majority of them have zero idea i could i'm not a gun expert i could trap them in

01:00:06.380 two questions they have no idea what they're talking about and yet they're coming off and

01:00:11.500 pontificating and look i'll have a reasonable gun conversation with anybody if you know what you're

01:00:17.740 talking about right but if you're just if you're just making stuff up well an assault weapon what's an

01:00:24.140 assault weapon what is it can you define it well it looks spooky i mean you know that's you can't

01:00:30.780 have a conversation that's like trying to uh uh talk about if we should go back to the moon or not

01:00:35.820 with a kindergartner it's interesting because i put out a call to my listener or to my at that time

01:00:44.700 following it on twitter and i said you know i don't know anything about this i'd really like to hear

01:00:50.060 what you have to think about it and i got such thoughtful intelligent long written answers about

01:00:58.060 people's feelings primarily independence and conservatives about the um you know responsible

01:01:04.540 gun owners in most cases and then i started just doing my own research and um and being that uh and and

01:01:13.180 now i'm you know starting to shoot and i i oh you will be ours

01:01:24.700 i mean according to the left i already am yeah i know i know i know it's just crazy it's crazy

01:01:31.020 because i was told that the people that i wrote about that in the battle cry of the politically homeless

01:01:37.740 i was told we don't exist you know they're by both sides everyone's like and people like you don't

01:01:44.620 exist oh i think you're the i think you're the majority yeah but again the question is okay so

01:01:51.980 we're confused which and maybe feeling morally conflicted about what to do in the upcoming election

01:02:00.060 or politically conflicted or there's one you know there's one thing that we believe in that will

01:02:08.460 have us vote one way or another or are strongly against and so i understand when people say they

01:02:16.140 don't exist i i know what they're saying that at the end of the day people have to pull the lever and

01:02:21.580 vote yeah bridges it's a lot easier to just throw people in categories though we only have about one

01:02:25.740 minute left but i wanted to get your take on this joe rogan article that came out from the atlantic

01:02:30.780 you have an hour yes we do actually what's the problem with it i just think it's an insidious

01:02:39.340 attempt to undermine the very real need for men like joe rogan and masculinity what that his fans

01:02:47.180 represent and i know what they're doing and also comedy i know what pieces like this are doing because

01:02:53.420 they've been kind of implying that joe is this person who is you know a gateway drug to the

01:03:00.300 outright and pieces like this lay the groundwork very insidiously for that and this is where i want

01:03:06.940 i rage the alt-right is very specific and very small it's very small there's nothing about joe rogan

01:03:16.380 that the alt-right would go i like that guy i think he i mean they might like him to watch you but that's

01:03:21.820 not he is not alt-right oh these people i know it makes it i get frustrated because i i feel like

01:03:31.660 it's hard to put your finger on but i i'm like i know what you're doing i know what you're doing with

01:03:36.620 this piece it's ridiculous and it's undermining it's like oh why is this guy who's representative

01:03:43.820 of millions of men popular i what are you talking about why is that even a question

01:03:49.500 yeah it's it's it's a weird piece i mean it kind of it makes it appear as if what they're saying is

01:03:56.620 like look we're you know he he's really problematic he's giving voices to these people on the fringes

01:04:02.860 that don't deserve voices and like that's a who are they who are they who are they who decided that

01:04:11.100 they could have a voice in whatever magazine or whatever they who who gave them the right to speak

01:04:20.700 for everyone it's so passive-aggressive too just the way that it says things i think at the end his

01:04:28.620 conclusion is you know i tried on joe rogan's masculinity it's not for me but that kind of insidious

01:04:35.340 throwing under the bus of masculinity is um this is not good okay we'll come back i want to talk

01:04:45.580 to you a little bit more about that and the underlying problem is uh i think that no one is

01:04:51.180 willing to talk about and you are in a unique position to talk about it bridget phetasy we uh

01:04:57.740 continue our conversation with her coming up in one minute you're listening to glenn beck so i

01:05:07.980 don't know what you dreamt about when you you know thought about your your perfect home uh owning

01:05:13.100 your own home maybe you pick her the picket you know a picture of the white picket fence and the

01:05:17.500 tire swing under the oak tree and the breeze dancing across the blades of freshly mown grass

01:05:23.740 carrying on its back the sound of children laughing and birds chirping and blah blah blah blah blah blah

01:05:29.500 blah what you didn't dream of is when you needed to sell that home and that day came all romantic

01:05:35.740 notions you associated with your home fell right out of the bottom of the box pretty quickly and they

01:05:40.380 were like yeah you need to update this grapple and you're like wait what we created real estate

01:06:34.540 you know there's a lot of people that are really starting to wake up some of them have been

01:06:38.300 uh neutral and just kind of asleep at switch politically um and that's one of the people we're

01:06:44.860 talking to who i think is incredibly brave is bridget phetasy uh she's a uh writer a host of

01:06:51.820 the podcast walk in walk in's welcome um but we've had uh jamie kilstein i just had a podcast with jamie

01:06:59.340 kilstein what last week now this is a guy who i mean he was nasty to me had me on his resume as not

01:07:07.340 liking him uh and war is it a as a badge of honor and we had a great conversation bridget just great

01:07:16.300 yep i love jamie and he's and it's it's people who are saying wait a minute uh let me examine what

01:07:23.900 i've done let me examine what i really believe you know uh and those people are going to change the

01:07:30.380 world they're just because i think that's the majority they just need the majority just needs

01:07:37.100 to see people willing to take the hits and it's scary it is scary and it's easier for me because

01:07:44.460 i don't have kids in a school system i don't have a job that's corporate where i'm dealing with hr

01:07:51.580 i when people ask me what they should do depending on their situation i especially um coming from the

01:07:57.980 left in particular i i'm usually understanding of why they have to keep their head down and be quiet

01:08:06.380 i'm less so i used to be more so i'm less so now because it's not my country it's not your country

01:08:12.060 it's all of our country and you're risking just as much i mean you are i'm risking i'm not risking my

01:08:19.420 livelihood because this is my livelihood so i i am understanding when you know that's not true

01:08:26.620 i have mouths to feed that's not true i've talked to you in times when you were like i don't know

01:08:31.580 what i'm going to i don't know what i'm going to do i don't know who i'm going to work for i don't

01:08:35.020 yeah that is true right and i've i've i've risked my livelihood you know i've put my livelihood and my

01:08:42.140 life in some regards my family's uh on on the line so um so let me change subjects because

01:08:51.020 i brought up guns with you a minute ago because uh we're now talking about banning assault weapons

01:08:56.700 which we've already done that it didn't work and so it was lifted um there was no statistics that show

01:09:04.540 that's effective at all period zero but i don't think that we should be having the gun debate quite

01:09:11.500 honestly i think this is because we're a society that is run by politicians that want to divide us and

01:09:17.820 nobody wants to actually talk about the truth the truth is we're having more shootings and mass

01:09:24.060 shootings and shootings in chicago because there's a hole in us we are a sick nation and a sick culture

01:09:32.700 and and all of us the the drug epidemic is because there's a hole in us it's so complex you know when

01:09:43.020 you really look at all of these situations and there are many different ones that you just mentioned

01:09:49.420 it is incredibly i'm fascinated about the psychology and the social psychology that

01:09:58.780 happen that's happening and i do feel like there's a certain amount of i always joke on twitter i say are you

01:10:08.940 okay america you know there it feels like collectively the entire country is careening

01:10:15.180 towards some kind of rock bottom like we're we are so so i'm i'm more concerned bridget maybe you're

01:10:23.340 saying this i i'm more concerned that um so many people feel lonely empty inside they have deep depression

01:10:33.660 nobody's nobody's talking about the mental health of our kids or of our society nobody's talking about

01:10:40.140 this and it's insidious or they do and it's it's in a way that um isn't helpful so if you're talking about

01:10:50.860 mental health it's in a way that's kind of still making it seem i feel like i don't know anybody who doesn't

01:10:58.860 have mental health issues i have mental health issues there's it's so rare to meet somebody who's

01:11:05.580 just balanced and doesn't struggle with some form of anxiety or depression and and well you live in

01:11:13.260 los angeles or california so in texas we're pretty stable we're pretty stable i i do think so yeah yes and

01:11:23.340 yes and no i think that a lot of it's hidden because people feel like they have to hide it

01:11:28.380 yes what i what i learned um in writing for playboy all those years was that men in particular there's

01:11:35.740 a lot of resources for women to kind of talk about their feelings and it's when i would reach out and

01:11:42.060 say hey guys how you doing or ask them a question i would get these long essays because they didn't

01:11:48.700 really feel like they could open up to somebody or they didn't feel like it was socially acceptable

01:11:53.740 to admit that they were struggling so there's a lot of secretive ness around struggle feeling like

01:12:03.580 you're struggling i think people feel isolated by their own struggles because they feel like

01:12:09.260 they don't want to admit that publicly because it will make them seem weak yeah they don't they don't

01:12:14.780 believe or know yet that everybody is going through something that they're hiding everybody

01:12:20.540 is going through something that they're shamed of or they think they're alone on and they're not

01:12:25.020 they're just they're just not alone you i'm a huge fan of therapy yeah you you are somebody who went

01:12:31.580 through uh an awful lot um your story your life story is amazing and if you missed it you listen to uh

01:12:39.180 my podcast uh just go to wherever you find podcasts and look for the one with bridgett

01:12:43.260 you can find it on youtube i think as well um but you have a fascinating life history but you got to

01:12:50.060 a place to where you thought you you had no value you right worthless and i feel like i hear this a lot

01:13:02.620 from people all across the board and i think what you're talking about this this hole that we're feeling

01:13:09.100 a lot of that a lot of people are relating to that there's this sense of meaninglessness hopelessness

01:13:17.180 and worthlessness and i am a huge advocate i had to build my core and my self-esteem basically from

01:13:26.780 the ground up and this is where i am an avid advocate for reaching out asking for help and personal

01:13:33.100 responsibility because no one can give that to us we have to go outward for help and inward to look

01:13:43.820 hold that mirror up to ourselves and truthfully look at where our weaknesses are where we are you

01:13:51.180 know a lot of people will be struggling and i'll be talking to them and i might email is always filled

01:13:56.700 with people telling me their stories and then you find out perhaps that they're drinking too much or

01:14:02.780 etc so there are certain things that people can do to change their life and they they're hard

01:14:08.620 choices and changes to make but the easy thing to do is sit around and wine and blame everybody

01:14:14.860 the hard thing to do is to look at ourself and say you know it truly is changing yourself and then

01:14:21.740 um then change the world kind of changes around you just by by the very act of you taking control over

01:14:30.380 what you can't control which is essentially your yourself bridget do you feel you still battle with

01:14:40.620 days where you're like i'm worth it all for yeah um more so less worthlessness because

01:14:51.420 i have deeply gone into i found god essentially and not to turn off all the non-believers but

01:15:02.540 hang on just a second our apologies then to fred okay go ahead

01:15:09.020 so i did find i do i i i think i struggle the most with nihilism and in in our culture today i feel

01:15:16.940 everything's so connected we're living in this 24-hour news cycle that just wears you down as you and

01:15:23.020 stew know probably better than anyone and it starts to you start to feel my biggest struggle is the

01:15:32.300 nihilism and i've written about this before when i'm in that place of what's it all for that is a

01:15:37.820 dangerous place for me so you know it's amazing if you look at the millennials you see that all of the

01:15:44.940 they just want to be a part of something of meaning and then the other side of the millennials is

01:15:53.500 life has no meaning it's either i mean it is there is this this that generation is yearning

01:16:01.180 for something of meaning and yet everyone you know in their life generally speaking in culture

01:16:06.700 is taking away everything that has meaning you know uh and so if you're not meaning go ahead right

01:16:15.820 i see what you're saying no i just i think that meaning and what i really had to learn particularly

01:16:20.780 getting sober is that meaning doesn't happen to you you you make meaning you have me i volunteer with

01:16:29.580 elderly people i go i volunteer i work with people who are addicts i feel like being of service

01:16:37.100 is a way to find meaning instead of hashtag resisting online all day and expecting the meaning to come find

01:16:45.100 you and this is i mean i think the biggest problem in america honestly other is a two-pronged

01:16:52.620 sense of entitlement and victim culture and this is all across the board left right and center i see it

01:16:59.340 everywhere and when i read my grandfather's letters from world war ii the tone in which he writes is so

01:17:06.460 inspiring and not whiny and i see it even in myself we live in just a whiny culture in general it is the

01:17:15.340 it's the air that we we breathe and live in and i have to cut you know he's writing about being

01:17:23.020 underway and getting bombed every day for two months and then calls himself out for self-pity

01:17:30.220 i'm like grandpa you can feel sorry for yourself you're getting bombed and he he's like i know that

01:17:37.660 nobody would want to feel you know nobody wants me to feel sorry for myself and i'm just having a moment

01:17:43.100 and it and we're out here like when you know that's why when you called me brave which thank

01:17:48.940 you i appreciate it i think it is some of the speaking out is an act of bravery but i mean i

01:17:55.100 read my grandpa's letters every day to keep me in check because that was a brave man who was fighting

01:18:01.500 for something that he believed in and with no self-pity or victimhood at all will you do me a favor

01:18:09.020 would you come back would you come back um go through your grandpa's letters and give us give

01:18:16.220 us examples of his writing and then come back yeah okay i will definitely good because i'm tired of

01:18:22.620 listening you're amazing listen to your grandfather maybe he had something yeah i'm tired of listening

01:18:27.500 okay bridget it's uh always great to talk to you and have you on uh and uh be here let me know when

01:18:34.620 you when you when you can apply you know compile some of your grandfather's uh words because i think

01:18:39.580 i think that'd be great to listen to okay yeah i would love to all my best thank you for having me

01:18:45.100 thank you bye-bye god bless

01:18:52.460 i love love people who are open to discovering new things and people who are taking charge of

01:19:01.420 themselves uh she her story is i mean she was a heroin addict uh she was you know uh raped when

01:19:12.220 she was you know in her teens and just i mean she has had one bad thing after another uh so yeah she

01:20:59.260 you know we just um i just did a commercial for uh norton vpn and and i was writing some uh notes

01:21:11.180 on it afterwards um because you have to understand why a vpn is so important and this is not a commercial

01:21:18.940 um uh and we were talking about ransomware that is going on right now there's a back door through uh

01:21:27.180 microsoft and the government had it and exploited it and then everybody else started to exploit it

01:21:31.980 and they're like hey you should fix this oh thank you uncle sam i appreciate that um but now it's

01:21:37.900 being used against state and local governments baltimore was was one of them that was hit where

01:21:43.580 they're just shutting down uh all of their systems and you got to pay x number of dollars in uh in

01:21:50.540 ransom how much money has been paid in the last year yeah they said last year the ransomware attacks

01:21:56.940 like uh i think it was five billion dollars they brought in for criminals um and that's across

01:22:03.980 you know all sorts of platforms a lot of it a lot of it through cryptocurrencies um and now there's i

01:22:09.100 think 12 different uh government agencies in texas that have been hit city governments by the same type

01:22:15.820 of thing and what's happening paxton or the governor on about this i'd love to hear it's fascinating

01:22:20.860 because i mean basically they're just shutting down the system and saying we can have all your data

01:22:24.460 back if you pay us you know whatever a couple hundred thousand dollars of bitcoin take a lot

01:22:27.900 more than that for them to fix the system so there's actually like city governments who are

01:22:31.660 paying criminals where is the federal government on this i i you know i mean i think they're doing

01:22:36.540 what they can to stop it but i mean you've messed with you've done 12 cities in texas all at once

01:22:42.300 you might be messing with the wrong state and is it legal for a government source to pay a criminal

01:22:49.500 ransom like is that a thing that you can do like i guess if i'm an individual or i'm a company maybe

01:22:56.620 you do that and i don't even know if it's legal in that case but i'm surprised that a government

01:23:01.660 agency would be able to pay some criminal in bitcoin to get their information back but i think they're

01:23:06.940 saying like look it's a lot better than trying to do it some other way we just got this one i mean

01:23:11.020 you know you think about it could go to a criminal yeah it also could go to isis right they think some

01:23:16.300 of these payments have gone to places like isis and north korea right i mean hey there's a good

01:23:20.460 idea let's pay those guys yeah it's really scary more coming up you're listening to glenn beck

01:23:46.300 i'm hillary that's your four minute buzz and now here's glenn and stew at the last hour of the show

01:23:54.220 thank you so much uh hillary we'll we'll try to uh work that out in the smokehouse a little bit later

01:24:00.860 um i love being at my ranch but it's also a cruel irony that i'm in the most pain at high elevations

01:24:09.100 because i'm at about 7 000 feet and elevation is something that really really increases my pain

01:24:16.220 so trying to just relax up there has not been easy until recently when i started taking relief

01:24:21.660 factor it has changed my daily life in dallas but it is also allowed me to not just be crippled in

01:24:28.620 pain while i'm up in the mountains i love relief factor i every day feel like i'm begging you try it

01:24:34.780 just try you don't have anything to lose yes 20 and that may be a lot of money 20 but that's like

01:24:40.700 uh you know what four cups of coffee or one at starbucks uh and and if you if it works for you

01:24:47.260 like it does for 70 of the people you're out of pain relief factor.com relief factor.com get your

01:24:54.300 life back go to relief factor.com all right final hour of the broadcast and we want to talk about guns

01:25:03.100 some more a new way to look at it next

01:25:11.180 the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment i want to take a look at the bill of rights and

01:25:18.940 the second amendment stew pull that up and i want to compare the second amendment what it says

01:25:24.220 to what uh presidential hopeful elizabeth warren says she's going to do and has a right to do

01:25:34.540 with guns and ammunition you want to talk about it you want to talk about an assault i don't know what

01:25:41.820 an assault rifle really is uh but i know an assault on our constitution when i see it

01:25:48.780 we go there yes even for you uh peter king who thinks as a republican that you can ban assault

01:25:58.860 weapons weapons of war we'll we'll explain it to you and a new way to look at this argument

01:26:07.260 in one minute this is the glenbeck program

01:26:10.540 something i've talked about a fair bit for a long time is the danger of cyber crime through various

01:26:19.340 means criminals can hack into your bank account drain your money from it overnight you could

01:26:23.820 literally watch your entire life savings disappear before your eyes the same thing could happen with

01:26:29.340 just an emp anything that you really have in the bank can be lost even through the quote good guys

01:26:37.740 the way they rewrote the banking bills you know that you are the creditor of last uh of last resort

01:26:45.500 so in other words you if if there is a crash if you have money in the bank you're the last person

01:26:52.460 that gets paid yeah check your bank uh statements it says that in it now they changed it after the collapse

01:27:00.380 of 08 this is one of the reasons why i consider putting at least a portion of my money into gold

01:27:08.220 gold it is it's it's gold it's the gold standard it is the thing that the world always comes back to

01:27:16.140 you know the burnt fool's wobbling finger eventually goes back to the fire we always go back to gold

01:27:23.500 after we've learned our lesson right now um if you just uh if you just call them up you call them today

01:27:29.980 ask them about their legal tender bars and if you do you'll qualify for these uh little silver coins

01:27:35.580 they're a little silver bars actually uh and they have uh myb on it this comes from benjamin franklin

01:27:43.100 uh putting on our money the first coins we printed as a nation and i just love this said mind your

01:27:50.220 business it meant get your nose out of everybody else's business but also pay attention to what you're

01:27:57.100 doing i love that mind your business you can uh you can get these just free just for asking just call

01:28:04.700 them up and talk to them about their legal tender bars but please consider gold or silver as a hedge

01:28:10.060 against insanity and the world is getting more and more insane every day 866-GOLDLINE 866-GOLDLINE or

01:28:17.580 dot com elizabeth warren is proposing she's not alone you also have peter king the republican out of new

01:28:32.620 york now signing up for the assault weapons ban uh but elizabeth warren is now proposing additional

01:28:39.980 unconstitutional act actions against the second amendment and her idea is to tax americans out of

01:28:48.060 their guns here's what's going to happen the federal government is going to uh squeeze the

01:28:54.300 banking and financial community to stop people like mastercard and visa and big banks from doing

01:29:00.780 business with gun manufacturers giving them loans uh even offering financial services uh to not only the

01:29:07.660 gun makers but also the gun sellers so if you go in to buy a gun they'll be eventually they'll say i'm

01:29:13.340 sorry i can't i can't take visa mastercard american express they don't do business with gun sellers so

01:29:19.660 then what do you do you got to go to the bank okay so you go to the bank or you write a check will it

01:29:24.940 will the bank cash that check is the bank willing to give a loan to either the guy that wants to open

01:29:29.660 up his gun store or the the people who are making the guns and then if after all of that is done

01:29:36.860 imagine the price of guns after all of that is done then she wants to tax you an additional 50

01:29:44.140 for the guns and the ammunition okay now listen i want i just want to read what she wrote for an op-ed

01:29:51.260 in medium i want to give you one paragraph and i want you to see if anything sticks out here because

01:29:55.340 something stuck out to me that is that bothered me increasing taxes on gun manufacturers since

01:30:03.260 1919 the federal government has imposed an excise tax on manufacturers and importers of guns and

01:30:10.380 ammunition now i know if you're a long-time listener you heard 1919 you're like he's gonna go

01:30:14.620 for woodrow wilson yes that's a grant no matter if it said 1919 or not yes that's going to happen

01:30:20.460 handguns but that's not what i was talking about handguns are taxed at 10 percent and other

01:30:25.260 guns and ammunition are taxed at 11 these taxes raise less in revenue than the federal excise tax

01:30:32.060 on cigarettes domestic wine or even airline tickets it's time for congress to raise those taxes to 30

01:30:39.980 on guns and 50 on ammunition both to reduce new gun and ammunition sales overall and to bring in new

01:30:48.700 federal revenue that we can use for gun violence prevention and enforcement of existing gun laws

01:30:55.260 oh my gosh what a pile of crap now what sticks out to you there's a lot there right for the

01:31:02.700 prevention and enforcement of existing gun laws please you can use that revenue for to stop gun

01:31:10.060 violence how what throw more money at it yeah it's working so well with education it doesn't work

01:31:15.820 maybe it stuck out 30 and 50 percent on ammunition nobody's going to go to the range good so now if

01:31:23.580 you do own a gun you can't afford to go to a range and uh so you're sloppy with a gun oh that's brilliant

01:31:31.580 no here's what stuck out stuck out and it was the stumbling block of 1919

01:31:35.900 since 1919 i immediately thought woodrow wilson i hate that guy and then i continue to read the

01:31:44.380 federal government has imposed an excise tax on manufacturers and importers of guns and ammunition

01:31:50.460 wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute that's an excise tax now i i know what an excise tax is but i

01:31:56.460 wanted to know what the what is the definition of an excise tax but what is that the excise tax is a tax

01:32:06.540 that the government can levy on companies products and privileges

01:32:16.220 hmm privileges yeah things like you need a license for so in other words if you live anywhere near a beach

01:32:24.620 your city with a beach you might have to pay an excise tax so you can get the beach sticker so you can

01:32:29.980 go down and park by the beach or you can use the beach right that's an excise tax that's all good

01:32:37.020 because we all have to work together and the beach is a privilege the beach is a privilege the government

01:32:43.980 says the beach is a privilege now think about think about how screwed up that one is

01:32:52.060 so what are they saying guns are a privilege no we know this is 1919 we know that people in 1919

01:32:59.980 took the constitution seriously this was at the beginning of the progressive movement and so they

01:33:06.060 were a little by 1919 they were a little back on their uh on their heels and they're like whoa whoa

01:33:11.740 wait wait what's going on here by 1919 americans were paying attention so you couldn't have a direct

01:33:17.500 assault on weapons so you couldn't say hey i'm going to tax this because like that beach it's a privilege

01:33:27.340 you're going to say instead to make guns is a privilege to sell guns is a privilege

01:33:35.980 yes all men are created equal and yes i know these rights shall not be infringed you have a right to a gun

01:33:42.300 but it's a privilege to make and sell a gun and that's how they got around it and now now that we

01:33:51.820 just accept this excise tax as a privilege to make a gun because i can't make a gun can you make a gun

01:33:59.100 can you make and sell a gun still i cannot no you can't you'd go to prison right you have to have a

01:34:04.540 license to make and sell a gun no it's a privilege it's the privilege they're just selling you a license

01:34:10.860 that's all they're doing and they're just they're just going to give it a little tax on here just for

01:34:16.380 the privilege of everybody to do this business uh that's infringement that's infringement but we let

01:34:22.940 it slide because we could still buy and sell guns and it was only 10 11 we're used to taxes right okay

01:34:33.020 now here's where i want to here's where i want to take this and i just want you to just fix reason

01:34:37.900 firmly in her seat it is a privilege to make a gun but it's a right to own a gun so wilson went around

01:34:48.380 and said yes but it's a privilege to make or sell or buy but you have that right to carry it around so

01:34:57.180 now the government made this a privilege instead of a right and yet with health care which is a privilege

01:35:07.740 god did not give you a blue cross blue shield card when you were born it didn't it didn't come

01:35:14.060 and ah quick we have to spank the baby so he coughs up his health care card that comes with him that's

01:35:21.820 not an inalienable right it is a privilege and it is a privilege we want to voluntarily share with one

01:35:29.340 another and it's a privilege to uh be able to buy into it or to live in a place where it is offered okay

01:35:37.900 but it's not a right but access access my right to try to find uh health care remedies

01:35:48.300 is my right if i have cancer i have a right to try whatever i have to try to stop my cancer is that

01:35:59.260 accurate stew i should have a natural right to defend myself whether that is somebody with a gun

01:36:06.540 or with somebody or with an a a virus or a uh a disease like cancer right right to try is a law

01:36:15.020 we shouldn't have to pass correct a natural right it's a natural right i have i believe if i eat these

01:36:21.420 berries and pray to this elephant which is me uh you know i have a right to do that strange religion

01:36:29.740 but yes i'm praying to glenn beck the elephant however that's not the right here in america

01:36:36.940 you have a right to health care and so what did the government do the government is making things so

01:36:44.140 onerous on private individuals private companies that were helping people gain access to that health

01:36:52.940 care privilege they made it so onerous that they're now cornering the market and now they're starting

01:36:58.540 to say we should make all pharmaceuticals you know we should have a single-payer system we should have

01:37:04.300 a national government-run health care system because it's a right to health care yet they're violating

01:37:12.540 the right because if you have a sick baby and somebody over in the vatican says we'll take care of

01:37:18.460 him we'll pay for it we'll pay for the flight we'll pay for everything you don't have a right to say

01:37:23.420 i'm taking my baby out of the hospital you don't have a right to do that they're cloaking

01:37:31.420 health care right but they're making it a privilege they're giving you an excise tax

01:37:41.260 for the privilege of accessing the health care they want you to have

01:37:46.940 so they've taken a privilege health and made that a right while stripping away all your actual

01:37:56.860 rights there and then they've taken a right defending yourself with a gun that shall not be infringed

01:38:05.100 and they're making that a privilege that's what's happening and if you notice both of these things

01:38:14.860 really can only be explained in one way it gives them control over two of the most important things in

01:38:27.740 your life health and safety the other one is who you are what you believe what you think

01:38:40.620 and that's on the ropes as well

01:38:49.660 now you can do that online you can be a you can absolutely i want you to be a reporter you just have

01:38:55.340 to have a license somewhere in america within the sound of my voice there is a man whose frontier was

01:39:02.060 warfare in a dense rainy jungle a place where if the incessant noise of buzzing insects didn't drive

01:39:09.420 you crazy the fear of of of what you felt when they went silent would the only comfort you had was

01:39:18.700 knowing that whether anyone recognized it at home or not you were fighting for your country

01:39:25.900 since a kid with this man that has been his frontier the whole time it's where

01:39:30.860 he wanted to be but it wasn't his fate he was just a little too young when all that business

01:39:36.860 over there ended instead he marches every day through a concrete jungle feet resplendent in a pair of

01:39:43.580 to covis boots he wears them because they're comfortable they're stylish but more importantly he wears them

01:39:49.340 because they remind him of the spirit of the country that he would have fought for it's alive and well

01:39:55.500 inside of him when he walks into a room everybody knows he's different to covis boots they're all

01:40:03.580 handmade by some of the finest boot makers in the world some of the most exotic leathers i love mine

01:40:09.100 you're gonna love yours as well find your pair right now to covis.com slash back that's t-e-c-o-v-a-s

01:40:18.140 dot com slash back to covis boots western goods for your frontier 10 seconds station break for station id

01:40:34.700 you know i never i i i thought about this last night when i was going through that monologue and i

01:40:47.100 and i thought i never realized what we we keep saying health care is not a right

01:40:53.020 it's a privilege but we never we've never tied it together with wait a minute they're saying it's a

01:40:59.900 right while taking away our fundamental right they're jamming us into this thing while saying

01:41:07.020 oh by the way you can't do that no no you can't do that you can't do that you can't have that medicine

01:41:12.300 you can't go see that doctor you have to do it our way if it's a right then i should be able to do it

01:41:19.340 any way i want i have a right to breathe well no no no you have a right to breathe four times an hour

01:41:26.860 no i i i could breathe a hundred i could breathe a thousand i could it's a right i it's it's it's in

01:41:32.380 me it's that's what i am they're taking all of our rights and making them privileges they're there

01:41:40.780 and they're taking our privileges and making them right because we don't even understand what a right

01:41:45.500 is anymore and it seems like there's this temptation to say well that's just an annoying

01:41:52.300 process argument right like we these things are good and therefore whether the one of the constitution

01:41:58.220 says whatever it says we need to get these things done because they're positive right they're good

01:42:02.460 things you know that you hear that a lot with guns right it's like well yeah sure it's not supposed

01:42:07.100 to be infringed but come on bump stocks come on that's crazy it's like well there's a reason this

01:42:13.100 process exists and there's a reason why the united states has had a consistent constitution for

01:42:19.820 several or a couple hundred years here and everyone else running in the world in the world

01:42:24.220 and that's not a that's not there's not like that's not a coincidence that we have the longest

01:42:28.860 constitution in the world plus are the most successful country in the world right like there's

01:42:33.900 not a there's not a that's not those things aren't disconnected at all they're completely connected

01:42:38.460 and because we've stayed somewhat close to the constitution unlike other countries who have

01:42:43.740 either violated or rewritten it completely when it seems convenient it's given us given us the the

01:42:49.820 ability to prosper the way that we have it's given us the ability to create all the medicines that save

01:42:55.660 lives around the world with very few exceptions all the medical innovations that are around the world

01:43:00.700 with very few exceptions all the things that this country has been able to accomplish which includes

01:43:05.580 lifting billions of people who don't live in this country out of extreme poverty all of those

01:43:11.340 things are consistent with the concept of having not only a very well written and well thought out

01:43:17.020 constitution but also one that we've actually followed and stuck with that consistency is not

01:43:23.180 just something you toss away when it feels like a good idea i mean like you think about go back to like

01:43:28.300 things like um interracial marriage right like there were times when progressives they came to the

01:43:34.460 people and said look yeah i know sure you should be able to you know do what you want to do uh and

01:43:39.660 you know we really don't have anything that's going to restrict race in there but look it's obvious

01:43:44.140 black people and white people shouldn't be getting married i mean can you imagine the consequences of

01:43:48.540 black people and white people get married and so they came in and said well you know what you don't

01:43:53.180 you shouldn't be able to do that there you have to remember that we're not always right in the moment

01:43:59.500 you think you're right because science never is right forever no and they're they're the only ones

01:44:05.980 that can tell you that they were wrong um but which of course then means that they're always right in

01:44:10.540 the moment which is a fantastic trick to play but it's one of these things where like with guns you

01:44:14.780 know you might think that right now you know the the priority is mass shootings and we need to pass

01:44:20.140 laws that are going to stop mass shootings we all want mass shootings to stop but i mean again we had

01:44:25.500 more than double the amount of people that die every year in mass shootings die children in cars

01:44:29.820 because it's too hot you know how many people die because of cows in this country the same amount of

01:44:34.540 people that die because of mass shootings cows cows kill 22 people per year cows are slow shootings kill

01:44:41.340 22 people per year cows and mass shootings have the same death count per year uh and this is not a

01:44:47.820 country that i don't think we're banning cows unless it's for global warming it's not for tax right

01:44:52.620 they could be the cows that are all black they're much scarier than the ones that are black and white

01:44:57.340 when they have the attachments at the bottom did you see all those attachments where they pull the

01:45:00.780 milk out of them those attachments they're yeah they're they're very scary the the truth is we

01:45:05.820 don't keep we are not capable of keeping these things in perspective which is why you have a

01:45:12.860 foundational document that makes you do it you can't rush into these things you can't violate these

01:45:18.620 principles when it feels good that's why these documents exist and they exist for really good

01:45:22.460 reasons so joe rogan i watch his comedy special his recent comedy special and i'm i'm not i'm a fan

01:45:50.460 talking about the constitution he said if jefferson came back he said i think the first thing he'd say

01:45:54.220 was you didn't write any new words i wrote this with a feather

01:46:03.100 but it does that's true it's not that you don't write new words you don't amend it you have to amend

01:46:09.980 it we're not amending the constitution that is the way it was laid out you should change it but

01:47:55.820 elana mar elana mar elana mar yeah elana mar unleashed a series of false statements about israel

01:48:17.980 yesterday in response uh to the nation blocking her from entering elana mar after she planned on

01:48:26.440 meeting with organizations that she said this is what this is what she said uh and that's what she

01:48:32.960 said she said i was just going to take this trip to palestine which doesn't exist on the map uh and i

01:48:39.480 i had um plans to meet with israeli officials okay she was lying about that she didn't have any

01:48:47.920 uh any plans to meet uh she what she did have was uh meetings with groups that praised suicide

01:48:54.960 bombers who killed jews promoted neo-nazi screeds and had connections to designated terrorist organizations

01:49:01.700 so she had that going for her and maybe a stop at rashid uh talib's uh grandma's house i'm not sure

01:49:09.960 yeah i'm sure she might be a wolf i don't know it could be like the little red riding hood

01:49:14.700 it's possible grandma might be a wolf it's it is possible at this point i know rashida came out

01:49:19.980 and said that she would look i'll visit when i'm going to visit as a free a free citizen and it's

01:49:24.900 like well if your grandma's really 92 93 years old and in failing health like do you not step up and

01:49:33.060 just make the trip i think if you're the grandmother at this point you just have to realize

01:49:36.400 rashida doesn't want to see you she was lying about it she was using this as a thing to vilify

01:49:42.860 israel she doesn't want to see grammy she doesn't care about grammy she's not interested whatever

01:49:48.380 you're like you know your home-cooked apple pie or whatever the thing is that you make that you

01:49:51.880 think she loves she doesn't she doesn't like it you imagine if one of your kids said oh i haven't been

01:49:57.460 home for so long and mom and dad are sick this might be the last christmas we have with them right

01:50:02.440 uh and you know i also am gonna you know rekindle the love with my one boyfriend that i had he's back

01:50:44.580 is uh cookies and uh food and uh family yeah yeah we get down to the jesus thing eventually but

01:50:52.740 after about oh 45 minutes of hard laughs of of how ridiculous we become at christmas time

01:50:59.420 uh i'm talking about the christmas show we haven't done this in years um we used to we used to travel

01:51:07.460 like 40 cities uh every every christmas and we would do christmas stories uh with glenn beck haven't

01:51:32.500 right now you remember i mean these i'm like really excited i wish we were doing more than one show

01:51:38.460 but uh i'm really excited because this this was our christmas tradition for a long time yeah we used

01:51:45.860 to do it all the time and wind up being i mean we used to do weeks of these tours weeks but it's

01:51:50.160 wind up being you know expense and all now with tv and all these other things it's been impossible to

01:51:54.800 be able to pull down the road for that long yeah but i know it's one of the funniest shows you have

01:51:59.540 ever done i mean that is it's probably my favorite because it's not your family right i like laughing at

01:52:05.660 your sorrow if you think your family is crazy wait till you meet mine at christmas it's nuts

01:52:12.220 uh yes i can verify this you've told many stories about this and you didn't and how many of these

01:52:18.260 stories did you not believe until you met my family oh all of them i don't know that any of

01:52:23.180 them i actually they seem like funny juiced up stories juiced up stories that you're doing for

01:52:28.760 stand-up comedy right and that's how a lot of these things they're not not in this case not in this case

01:52:32.920 these are real stories there is you know what's amazing is this is the only show that we do that we

01:52:38.520 never have to write we don't have to write it because stew will be in a meeting and stew will

01:52:43.640 say and glenn will tell the the nut story and we don't need a punchline we don't need work on it

01:52:49.920 because that's what happened you just tell it in chronological order and it's just that ridiculous

01:52:56.460 it's crazy yeah it's crazy so if you think your family is nuts come meet mine do we get the uh

01:53:03.560 the couch story i think i have to do the couch story i think i have to is utterly amazing yeah

01:53:12.480 you must do the couch and word for god is my way stew god is my witness 100 true i've i actually

01:53:23.020 confirmed it with other family members yeah uh back in the day because i did not believe it there

01:53:27.400 are things in our family that are so crazy i've asked i've called up my i've called up my aunt she's

01:53:34.060 like 80 now and i i call her up and i'll be like hey i just want to make sure that i'm remembering

01:53:40.840 this right is this what happened she'd be like oh yeah crazy as a loon i mean it's yep and then she

01:53:48.560 says are you gonna come visit me soon you're like i got banned i'm sorry i just can't make it real

01:53:53.020 yeah i gotta go to israel and i'm visiting rashid to leave's grandma you know that's what we should

01:53:58.280 do oh we're gonna be in israel in about eight months let's go visit oh my gosh we should go say

01:54:03.760 hi we have she needs the visitors she we won't hopefully get banned uh maybe she would like maybe

01:54:11.420 we can ask rashida to leave if there's anything that she would like us to bring to her grandmother

01:54:16.500 since we're gonna be in israel anyway fall into the category it has someone that you don't really

01:54:21.460 know giving you anything before you boarded this flight it may be it might fly into that yeah that

01:54:27.780 might be a way for yeah but it's only from rashid to leave it should be fine it should be fine okay

01:54:32.900 i did not think that went out uh fully in retrospect bad idea we will not be doing that israel no i just

01:54:39.480 yeah but rashid to leave gave me

01:55:10.580 look for the christmas thing and glennbeck.com all right

01:55:15.540 i gotta get this off my desk i i steve king would there be any population of the world left if it

01:55:25.140 wasn't for the rape and incest come on i mean what you know this is drunk news that's what this is

01:55:31.720 well what what what if we went back through all the family trees and just pull pull out anyone who is

01:55:39.660 a product of rape or incest would would there be any population left in the world if we did that

01:55:46.920 oh boy just it's not steve what are you doing i don't know why he feels the need to chime in on so

01:55:53.640 many things to speak just to

01:55:55.620 inside voice it doesn't make a lot of sense to me uh i don't know exactly where he's going with that

01:56:03.380 stuff um but this is uh this is typical uh of i think our uh of our world because we look at um

01:56:10.480 there's so many strange things that come out uh from public figures in the media as well can i give

01:56:16.640 you this story this is a very random story but i'd like to give this is more than steve king yeah i

01:56:21.520 think so all right this is cnn um and they have a story about how salmon are dying now it's very sad

01:56:30.160 usually in my grill well that's the fair point yeah uh listen to cnn's report about uh why salmon

01:56:36.920 are dying in alaska nearly about a thousand of these alaskan salmon have have gone through this

01:56:42.260 what they call a die off and again we'll never know the exact number of exactly how many die but

01:56:47.020 they're attributing this to the hot temperatures not necessarily just from this week although it was

01:56:50.780 very hot in alaska this week but they're thinking that most of the damage was actually done about a

01:56:55.300 month ago when they were first coming up that main stem of the yukon river temperatures in the

01:56:59.640 river would have been about 70 degrees now that may not sound all that bad to us but they're using

01:57:04.080 temperatures closer to 60 degrees and not much of a difference is too much for the fish okay so maybe

01:57:09.280 a day or two they can handle it but for that long-term journey that they make that becomes too much

01:57:14.320 heat stress takes over and they end up dying from that and yes and unfortunately that's a thing but

01:57:19.320 it's the economic impact in the short term yes people this is a big tourist thing people fly to alaska

01:57:24.640 just to be able to go salmon fishing but the thing is you're talking about a thousand out of a migration

01:57:29.840 that they expect is about two million so in the short term it's not going to cause too many issues

01:57:34.140 but here's the main concern wait those fish are no longer now going to spawn eggs four to five years

01:57:39.160 from now when they would have made that migration trip themselves now they have to start worrying about

01:57:43.500 are those numbers going to be there okay so it's more of a long-term concern rather than a short-term

01:57:48.960 what's happening now let's think about this one a little bit all right okay so there's two million

01:57:52.700 this so far so of course not i don't want fish to die before i get there with my hook right now

01:57:57.980 which is where you're gonna when you would normally see it's hurting the fishing industry up there

01:58:02.700 because people fly up to alaska so many people and they're not flying up now because the fish are

01:58:07.320 dying and so i mean so the fish are dying and so no fishermen are coming up to kill the fish so what

01:58:13.560 happens when those fish who died of natural causes as opposed to my hook don't spawn in a few years

01:58:19.040 it's a long-term problem but anyway go ahead it is a long-term problem you really have to use your

01:58:23.160 thinking cap to get through it so there's two million fish making this journey and 850 of them

01:58:28.140 850 out of two million um apparently have uh passed away is tragically in this heat related

01:58:35.800 incident but we really don't know the numbers it could be five million it could be could be more than

01:58:40.660 even make the journey i think the interesting thing though is is the concern for these eggs

01:58:46.440 i mean it's not life we know that this isn't life right like we're not worried about a salmon's eggs

01:58:57.200 no we're talking about the salmon that have eggs that choose to go upstream choose to go upstream

01:59:04.540 right in a few years and they were going to lose their eggs so we're concerned about future

01:59:08.980 generations of salmon yeah but these are wanted salmon these are wanted by people who eat salmon

01:59:15.860 on very nice little plates and you know and around new york city exactly now 850 uh salmon doesn't sound

01:59:23.840 like um a ton especially when you know that bears eat you know about 40 salmon a day so that would get

01:59:32.020 you to about 1200 a month which is more than would die in this entire incident in of course

01:59:38.960 in addition what we're talking about is them going to a place in which the object of them getting there

01:59:43.780 is to die like the whole point is they want people to be able to fish because it's going to hurt

01:59:48.680 tourism beyond why don't you just kill one bear for a month you kill one bear for a month and you save more

01:59:56.740 which would be which would be just put them to sleep for a month um and it kind of had me thinking

02:00:00.740 too of like we toss this number around all the time which is devastating when you think about it

02:00:05.340 of what 60 million abortions that have gone on in this country but we never price in the generations

02:00:11.780 lost it's not just the person who's aborted it's all of the people that would be born from those

02:00:17.920 people that were aborted good i mean what would happen to our overpopulation problem if that that's

02:00:24.180 exactly what they'd say and it's a fascinating but think about that because you know they're always

02:00:27.340 like well what if we lost an albert einstein what if we lost uh you know we have we've probably lost

02:00:32.560 hundreds of hundreds of them i would also say that a human life is valuable whether you're good at

02:00:36.600 science or not so really a lot of crappy people we lost too but those are also valuable people

02:00:40.620 um but we've also lost generations entire family lines we're over a billion abortions worldwide now

02:00:48.960 over a billion we only have seven billion people here think of just a billion and then bring it down

02:00:55.440 the lines one eighth of everyone alive today potentially could have been alive and then more

02:01:03.620 than that right an abortion that happened in 1975 right that person would have had a baby

02:01:10.220 uh because i was born in 1976 right so abortion that would have happened if they would have

02:01:14.240 aborted me i know a lot of people rooting for that if they would have aborted me in 1976 i have also had

02:01:18.780 another child right so my mom had a child that child had a child and hang on just a second two would

02:01:25.460 you remind me after we get off the air marissa um go back to work on the time machine okay go ahead

02:01:30.580 you were saying that that's all i had to say all right okay good

02:01:33.820 let me know if you get it i've got some dates i'd like to go back to myself

02:01:39.660 me too don't do that 1998 was a year in which i started on this program wait a minute

02:01:47.260 uh one of um one of the people that i work with was on a three-hour car trip last week when the

02:01:53.960 air conditioning suddenly went out in his car now if you haven't been paying attention uh i believe

02:02:01.040 this summer has produced the heat of a thousand suns here in texas and uh this person and his wife

02:02:08.820 uh got to positively simmer with the windows rolled down all the way back home now if he'd

02:02:16.660 been thinking ahead which i'm betting he will be from now on out because i can't imagine what that

02:02:23.960 trip would be like in texas driving across texas in this heat with no air conditioning

02:02:30.560 i'm betting i'm guessing my wife would be in a really good mood so if you'd like to make sure

02:02:38.120 she stays in a really good mood may i suggest car shield in addition to providing 24 7 roadside

02:02:44.940 assistance and rental car while yours is in the shop the thing that sucks about stuff like this is

02:02:49.600 it goes out and you're like how much is this gonna cost and you're hot until it's fixed car shield

02:02:56.420 makes the process of fixing your car for a covered repair extremely easy you can even have your

02:03:01.160 preferred mechanic or the dealership do the work it doesn't matter most companies won't give this

02:03:05.060 choice to you but you can have it done at the dealership if you want they're the ones using all

02:03:08.580 the products and they know the car best blah blah blah blah blah blah get them to do it and you don't

02:03:13.020 have to wait for the check coming from car shield because they pay the mechanic directly call 800 car

02:03:18.260 6000 800 car 6000 mention the promo code beck or visit carshield.com use the promo code beck and save

02:03:24.860 10 10 carshield.com promo code beck 800 car 6000 promo code beck you're listening to glenn beck

02:03:36.140 so i just saw that google employees are marching around this is an honest question i don't have the

02:03:58.100 answer they're marching around google protesting their employer because they want google to stop

02:04:04.760 working with ice now my my thought first was oh yeah but china is totally cool and then i thought

02:04:13.280 to myself well wait a minute i know what they're doing with china what what what what exactly is google

02:04:20.280 doing with ice now if it's hey they use our cloud service okay well i mean it's your right as a company

02:04:27.240 to do that but are you really going to sort through every single company it's just you're not working

02:04:32.680 with them if you're working with ice what are you providing what do you have information that you're

02:04:40.200 do you have surveillance do you you have some sort of way to tell who's who and are you providing that

02:04:48.180 what i think that's an interesting question of what what is google doing with ice i mean i'm a supporter

02:04:57.120 of ice but uh gosh are they providing information for the government on things is that uh seems like

02:05:07.620 something all of us should be concerned about no more on that tomorrow

02:05:13.380 you're listening to glenn beck

02:05:19.740 you're listening to glenn beck
