The Glenn Beck Program - Overrated： Spelling and Grammar ｜ Guest： Jeffy Fisher ｜ 8⧸8⧸19

00:00:00.000 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Stu for Glenn, who will return on Monday, 888-727-BECK.

00:00:16.820 Wow, there was so much insanity going on. I don't know if it starts with the CNN town hall last night or with Cory Booker or there's just so much. Where do you even where do you even begin?

00:00:35.400 I love how nothing that the Republicans, even though the Republicans are bending over backward right now and many of them caving in to gun control mindset, that's not enough. Nothing's enough. Nothing's ever enough.

00:00:52.800 This is why you don't cave in. Yeah, because it won't be enough.

00:00:56.040 It will never be enough. We're seeing this now. Chuck Schumer, he's warning the GOP against settling for tepid red flag laws.

00:01:06.960 So the red flag law thing, which is completely controversial to conservatives, is a massive move to the left.

00:01:12.120 It is a constitutional violation. It is a the type of thing that we took calls all day yesterday, all day yesterday from people who love Donald Trump and are like, don't cross this line.

00:01:22.360 Please don't cross this line. This is really, really bad. I talked to David Harris Jr.

00:01:28.100 And David Harris Jr. is it's a pretty MAGA guy, you know, big, big Trump supporter.

00:01:35.020 He's not quite as pro Trump as Donald Trump, but he is more pro Trump than Donald Trump Jr.

00:01:40.820 He's in between those two. David's great. I love him. But he's like a big Trump guy.

00:01:46.080 Yeah. And he said yesterday, same thing on his social feeds.

00:01:49.000 Don't they said, like, you know, look, we love Donald Trump. He's done a great job.

00:01:54.180 Don't cross this line. It's too big of a deal. You know, and I think this this comes to the core of like Donald Trump, who's a guy who's he's he's lived in, you know, in New York as a rich guy behind security.

00:02:05.420 Like he's in that environment. I was born in New York.

00:02:09.000 I grew up partially in New York, partially in Connecticut, you know, in that region, you just it's just not part of your life.

00:02:16.740 You don't think about guns all that often. And especially if you're Donald Trump living in the top of a tower, like that's the last thing in the world you're concerned about.

00:02:24.020 It's not part of your core. You don't see the Second Amendment the same way, probably.

00:02:27.460 And, you know, so I don't know that he would understand what a big deal this would be to someone who really cares about the Second Amendment.

00:02:35.040 And we man, we heard it like crazy yesterday.

00:02:37.560 I mean, I think there was one caller yesterday who said, you know, I really like what he's I understand.

00:02:42.860 At least he's trying to address mental health, which I think is, of course, true. 1.00

00:02:45.580 But already the Democrats are saying, look, that's not enough.

00:02:50.600 You can't you can't just give us this.

00:02:52.440 This is what's so frustrating about being a conservative and having the only real representative for you being the Republican Party, because they are constantly folding on these things.

00:03:04.920 They're terrible.

00:03:05.440 And they just do stuff like, well, you know what?

00:03:08.220 The Democrats want seven hundred billion dollars for this project.

00:03:11.320 We only want to give them four hundred billion.

00:03:13.380 And you're like, well, yeah, but what about the one?

00:03:16.120 What about the option of not doing it?

00:03:18.100 You know, and there's no one who represents that side of these issues.

00:03:22.640 What about the option of spending less?

00:03:25.000 Yeah, that doesn't exist.

00:03:26.000 It doesn't exist.

00:03:26.480 It's impossible.

00:03:27.540 It's impossible.

00:03:28.540 Actually, I have a Republican congressman from Ohio, Michael Turner, who's actually talking about not just not just the red flag laws, but also a limit on the end of the magazine limits.

00:03:40.240 Yep.

00:03:40.960 And a ban on assault weapons.

00:03:44.060 Yep.

00:03:44.580 Assault weapons.

00:03:45.520 Assault.

00:03:46.140 Yes.

00:03:46.560 Because they assault people.

00:03:48.140 That one is really fascinating to me, because obviously, you know, every weapon is an assault weapon.

00:03:56.580 This is a breaking breaking news for you.

00:03:59.040 You can assault people with any weapon.

00:04:00.580 And I don't mean just guns.

00:04:02.020 No, you could have an assault knife.

00:04:03.520 There's a reason.

00:04:04.100 I can assault you with a knife.

00:04:05.600 Yeah.

00:04:05.820 There's a reason why we own 10 times per capita the amount of guns as Russia, and they have much double the murder rate. 0.98

00:04:11.660 Because people are able to kill other people with other things.

00:04:14.820 Pakistan, same thing.

00:04:16.180 Pakistan has almost no gun violence problem.

00:04:18.280 You want to move there?

00:04:19.260 Let me get you on Zillow.

00:04:20.460 I could jam a spoon in your eye right now, and that might be an assault. 1.00

00:04:23.660 Right.

00:04:24.160 It's like that.

00:04:25.340 I mean, does anyone remember Paris?

00:04:27.600 Right?

00:04:27.780 Right.

00:04:28.120 Or was it, I mean, Nice, I'm thinking of.

00:04:30.960 When they went down, you know, in the middle, you run over people with a street festival in your truck.

00:04:36.100 87 people, it seems.

00:04:38.480 It was a lot.

00:04:39.700 It was a lot.

00:04:40.320 It was a lot.

00:04:40.880 Does it seem, are any of those people like, oh, man, at least I wasn't shot?

00:04:45.020 No.

00:04:45.400 No, that's not the way that works.

00:04:47.080 You know, you can do these things.

00:04:49.340 There was a big stabbing yesterday, right?

00:04:50.940 Four people were killed in a stabbing yesterday.

00:04:53.400 Yeah.

00:04:53.580 And, again, that would qualify on the mass shooting list if it happened to be done with a gun.

00:05:01.200 But I guess because it's not with a gun and there's no political gain there, no one cares.

00:05:05.400 Well, the people who got, you know, who are victims of these crimes still care.

00:05:09.060 You know, the people who are in Chicago who do get shot in gun violence, but not the type of gun violence that moves the needle on your poles, those people care.

00:05:17.640 Which is why, I strongly believe, if they got some kind of ban on, let's say, rifles, let's say you ban assault rifles, then they'd have to go for handguns as well because the carnage will continue.

00:05:36.860 The carnage, like in Baltimore and Chicago, is not going to be abated by banning rifles.

00:05:43.360 Because you're going to have to, and they'll come after, they'll come after handguns as well.

00:05:47.900 It's just the beginning.

00:05:49.280 You open up this door, they're going to keep walking through it. 0.63

00:05:52.700 It's just, it would never end.

00:05:55.780 And that's why we just can't give in.

00:05:58.520 888-727-BECK.

00:06:00.840 More coming up in one minute.

00:06:03.560 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:06:05.740 Imagine if I only gave you part of a news story.

00:06:08.680 It'd be pretty hard to follow.

00:06:10.240 Well, that's what it may be like, relying on monitoring your credit and your bank statements to help protect your identity.

00:06:16.660 You could miss a really important part of the story.

00:06:19.420 Sure, your bank and credit card companies can help detect fraud, but it may not monitor all the other ways your identity can be stolen,

00:06:26.520 like when somebody opens up a new account or applies for a loan in your name.

00:06:30.640 That's why there's LifeLock.

00:06:32.520 LifeLock uses proprietary technology to alert you to a wide range of identity threats.

00:06:37.720 And if there is a problem, a U.S.-based specialist will work to fix it.

00:06:41.740 Now, nobody can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses.

00:06:45.920 But with LifeLock, they monitor more, and they can help you see the threats to your identity that you might otherwise miss on your own.

00:07:05.460 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program, 888-727-BECK.

00:07:15.540 It's gotten so the media people in the media don't even care.

00:07:19.820 They hate Trump so much, they don't even care if what they're saying about him is remotely accurate.

00:07:26.240 Like Nicole Wallace, who claimed that Trump has been talking about exterminating Latinos.

00:07:36.340 Her guest is like, yeah.

00:07:39.040 No.

00:07:39.560 No.

00:07:40.560 No.

00:07:41.120 He has not been talking about that.

00:07:42.200 That is something that the president has never, never done.

00:07:45.620 Well, a lot of times this stuff is like this game of telephone, right?

00:07:48.100 Like maybe she happened to hear, she happened to tune into TV when Beto O'Rourke was saying that Donald Trump was saying the same rhetoric as the Third Reich.

00:07:56.400 Right.

00:07:56.880 And maybe she heard that and thought, well, that's extermination.

00:07:59.400 I guess I can now say this.

00:08:01.080 I guess so.

00:08:01.280 Like they all just kind of pass it on just a little bit.

00:08:03.940 And then when she's called out on it, her only statement is, she tweets,

00:08:09.280 I misspoke about Trump calling for an extermination of Latinos.

00:08:12.880 My mistake was unintentional and I'm sorry.

00:08:15.940 Trump's constant assault on people of color and his use of the word invasion to describe the flow of immigrants is intentional and constant.

00:08:24.100 So it's still his fault.

00:08:25.520 It's still his fault, obviously.

00:08:26.960 It's not her mistake, really.

00:08:28.620 It's just that he's so awful.

00:08:32.040 You know what I found really?

00:08:33.400 I was thinking about this yesterday and it is remarkable where these people go.

00:08:40.040 We've talked about this at the beginning of the administration, Pat.

00:08:43.160 If the Democrats had, instead of launching a massive march and rally on literally the day after Donald Trump's inauguration,

00:08:52.840 saying how horrible of a president and person he was when he hadn't even done anything.

00:08:56.900 If they had approached this at going to him and saying like, look, we want a bunch of stuff.

00:09:02.280 We think you're, you know, we think you're the type of guy that can get a deal done and we're going to work with you and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:09:10.880 Trump would have gone along with, I think, a lot of these things because he, you know, I don't think he, I think he is much more in this, in the fight of this.

00:09:19.360 And when they attack him, he's going to attack back.

00:09:21.640 I think he, I mean, we saw it with criminal justice reform.

00:09:23.960 He's willing to work with the other side.

00:09:25.320 He is.

00:09:26.120 I mean, he's, that's been his whole life.

00:09:28.100 You know, he, so I don't think that's a crazy, crazy thing.

00:09:32.280 But, but the other thing, the lesson that, and I'm, by the way, I'm glad they didn't do that because God only knows what policies would have been passed.

00:09:39.980 But the, the, they hate him too much to do it.

00:09:42.140 Right.

00:09:42.500 Even if it was to their benefit, they just hate him too much to do it.

00:09:45.740 Yeah.

00:09:46.160 And I think that's true.

00:09:46.940 And it's, it's fascinating to see what's going on now where they are now calling every person who supports Donald Trump, a racist.

00:09:55.560 Yeah.

00:09:56.220 Go back to the 2016 election.

00:09:59.240 Have they learned the lesson of the basket of deplorables from Hillary Clinton?

00:10:03.920 You know, Hillary came out and, you know, you go back and, and that became sort of a thing, right?

00:10:08.300 Like the deplor, oh, we're the deplorables, we're the deplorables.

00:10:11.160 Go back and look at Hillary Clinton's statement.

00:10:12.880 You can, you can, you can argue with certain parts of it, but generally speaking, it's true.

00:10:19.600 And it's true about every candidate, right?

00:10:22.240 Every single candidate has supporters who are awful.

00:10:25.600 And Donald Trump is no exception to that.

00:10:27.700 Neither is Hillary Clinton, by the way.

00:10:29.680 But every candidate has, you know, she said it as a basket of deplorables.

00:10:34.180 There's some people who, who are, who are, who are supporters of a candidate who are doing it for really bad reasons, whether it's racism, whether it's socialism, whether it's extremism, whatever the thing is, everybody has that level of support in some way.

00:10:53.080 And her point was not, she was not, that point was not about talking about how bad Donald Trump supporters are.

00:11:00.460 If you go back and read the actual text of it, what she's saying is, yes, there are some supporters, she's talking to a Democratic audience and saying, yeah, you know, I know you guys are always talking about the really bad people, the deplorables, but they also have a lot of people who can be won over to the cause.

00:11:14.760 They're not, they don't, they don't like this stuff.

00:11:16.680 They don't like Donald Trump's evil rhetoric, blah, blah, blah, right?

00:11:19.500 Like, I'm not saying I agree with her point, but generally speaking, what she's saying is there's a separation.

00:11:23.740 There's good Trump supporters and bad Trump supporters, and we have to acknowledge there are good Trump supporters.

00:11:29.260 So Hillary Clinton is making the exact opposite point in 2016 that the Democrats are making now. 0.70

00:11:35.100 The Democrats are saying all of the Trump supporters are bad.

00:11:38.100 They've actually gone the other way.

00:11:39.860 They haven't learned the lesson that calling half of his supporters deplorables was a bad idea.

00:11:44.480 Their lesson is we should have called them all deplorables.

00:11:47.220 Yeah.

00:11:47.660 They've actually gone the other way completely.

00:11:51.440 Yeah.

00:11:51.620 And this is something that I think arguably lost them the election.

00:11:55.200 And hopefully we'll do so again.

00:11:57.040 And I mean, this is how bad they are at this.

00:11:59.680 Yeah.

00:11:59.960 Right?

00:12:00.240 Like, they have not learned a single lesson from the last two years.

00:12:05.420 And, you know, obviously because they're supporting socialism, this is a good thing for, I think, the Constitution and the American people in general.

00:12:14.280 But it's just fascinating to watch a party do this to itself.

00:12:18.420 Like, Donald Trump has got a 42%, 43% approval rating.

00:12:21.140 This should not be an unwinnable election, but they're trying to make it into one.

00:12:24.900 It really is.

00:12:25.880 Like, they've just, they're like, well, what if we raise the mountain even higher for us to climb?

00:12:29.640 And we should be thankful for that at least.

00:12:32.500 Yeah, sure.

00:13:35.440 Rules and restrictions do apply.

00:13:49.640 Just to prove your point, Stu, about what they could be doing, and maybe President Trump would even be on their side.

00:13:57.180 Remember this from last year, where they were sitting around a giant conference table, and the president was talking about taking guns early without due process.

00:14:09.220 Listen to this.

00:14:09.960 Yes, go ahead, Mike.

00:14:10.760 Well, in the category, you spoke about it, Mr. President, gun violence restraining orders.

00:14:16.600 They're called.

00:14:17.220 California actually has a version of this.

00:14:19.620 And I think in your meeting with governors earlier this week individually and as a group, we spoke about states taking steps.

00:14:29.720 But the focus is to literally give families and give local law enforcement additional tools if an individual is reported to be a potential danger to themselves or others.

00:14:41.140 I don't allow due process so that no one's rights are trampled, but the ability to go to court, obtain an order, and then collect not only the firearms but any weapons in the possession of that individual.

00:14:52.560 Or might take the firearms first and then go to court because that's another system.

00:14:57.000 Because a lot of times by the time you go to court, it takes so long to go to court to get the due process procedures.

00:15:04.360 I like taking the guns early, like in this crazy man's case that just took place in Florida.

00:15:11.240 He had a lot of firearms.

00:15:12.480 They saw everything.

00:15:13.860 To go to court would have taken a long time.

00:15:15.280 So you could do exactly what you're saying, but take the guns first, go through due process.

00:15:20.760 No.

00:15:21.880 No.

00:15:22.580 Maybe not.

00:15:23.360 No.

00:15:23.500 I have a bad feeling about that option.

00:15:26.060 Yeah.

00:15:26.420 I mean, again.

00:15:27.500 He likes taking them first and then worry about it later.

00:15:30.020 It takes so long to adjudicate things.

00:15:32.240 Let's not bother with that.

00:15:34.080 That's amazing.

00:15:35.000 Yeah.

00:15:35.200 A little unconstitutional, fortunately.

00:15:37.000 It's an amazing clip.

00:15:37.640 And I think, you know, if his supporters hear that they think that that's a bad idea, there's a good chance that he sees that.

00:15:45.820 Yeah.

00:15:46.000 I think he will.

00:15:47.120 We saw this back in the day when he was talking, he was being sort of cornered on the abortion issue in an interview.

00:15:53.720 And they were like, hey, Don, you know, what do you think happens to these women? 1.00

00:15:57.540 Do they go to prison if they have an abortion? 0.98

00:15:59.320 He's like, yeah.

00:16:01.140 I think they have to.

00:16:02.140 They have to.

00:16:02.740 Yeah.

00:16:03.080 Because he hadn't really thought about it.

00:16:04.520 Right.

00:16:04.720 It wasn't one of those things that, you know, this has not been his life.

00:16:07.320 Right.

00:16:07.640 So a lot of these issues, the nuance of some of these issues, he is not necessarily fully digested, but he doesn't have to make on the spot decisions on a topic like this.

00:16:17.940 Sometimes as a president, you do have to make those.

00:16:20.400 Most of the time you don't.

00:16:21.800 You have time to deliberate.

00:16:22.980 You have time to talk to your advisors.

00:16:24.660 You have time to have a room of people who disagree come in, fight it out in front of you and pick one.

00:16:29.820 I mean, I tweeted this yesterday, the both sides of the red flags law, well represented between an article by Dana Lash or column by Dana Lash and a column by David French.

00:16:41.860 David French is on the side of on this.

00:16:43.880 In this case, the president saying, you know, red flag laws are a good idea. 1.00

00:16:48.180 Dana Lash is on the side of saying, you know what? 1.00

00:16:49.720 They just don't work out well, even though they're well intentioned.

00:16:52.540 And you kind of read like there's really, I think, good reasoned arguments.

00:16:55.800 If you're a conservative for both sides of this, you know, I definitely.

00:16:59.880 Come down on team Dana on this particular issue.

00:17:03.020 I mean, she, you know, I think has it right when it comes to the Constitution.

00:17:06.480 And when you have these questions, especially about a constitutional issue, you need to side, you know, err on the side of liberty.

00:17:12.880 You need to err on the side.

00:17:14.120 Even some when, you know, I think with both both moves, you're going to have some negative output.

00:17:19.960 But there's going to be no solving mass shootings from red flag laws. 0.67

00:17:23.000 I mean, there's no evidence of that whatsoever.

00:17:25.600 No evidence of it.

00:17:26.400 There's never, as far as I know, has never been one case where they believe it's actually stopped a mass shooting.

00:17:32.840 There has been cases where they believe it stops suicides.

00:17:35.740 Which, again, is there's a reason to like that, obviously.

00:17:39.340 Yeah.

00:17:39.440 But that doesn't mean it gets constitutional because it works.

00:17:43.260 And a lot of people forget that.

00:17:44.720 It's like the thing with net neutrality.

00:17:47.500 People are like, well, these companies could just throttle my internet and then I can't watch my Netflix shows.

00:17:55.400 How am I going to watch Handmaid's Tale on Hulu?

00:17:57.820 It's going to be, it's going to buffer.

00:17:58.880 And I think people get confused, you know, there are some things that are human rights and some things that are just awesome.

00:18:09.660 They're not the same.

00:18:11.500 The internet's awesome.

00:18:12.920 It is not a human right.

00:18:14.720 It is not a right in this country.

00:18:16.860 There's no constitutional right for you to not have to buffer Handmaid's Tale.

00:18:20.460 That is not a constitutional right.

00:18:22.640 And just because you might really like the show and really want the show to work fast, that doesn't mean you get to force companies with the things that they built to treat you a different way.

00:18:34.340 That's not, that is not America.

00:18:36.940 That's not the way it's supposed to work.

00:18:38.520 Yeah.

00:18:38.900 The way it works is if somebody's buffering your Handmaid's Tale, you switch servers.

00:18:43.300 You switch companies.

00:18:44.480 You go somewhere else.

00:18:46.580 And by the way, that almost never happens.

00:18:49.280 These companies, with all the power in the world to buffer your Handmaid's Tale, decide instead to just give it to you really high quality 4K video.

00:18:56.400 Because they want to keep getting your money.

00:18:58.880 That's the free market.

00:19:00.040 Yeah.

00:19:00.360 It works really well.

00:19:01.020 And if it buffers enough, you're going to get pissed and you're going to stop paying them the money for it.

00:19:04.560 Yep.

00:19:05.400 You'll go somewhere else.

00:19:06.460 It's kind of, it's called capitalism.

00:19:08.660 And it works pretty well.

00:19:10.340 You know?

00:19:10.740 Yeah.

00:19:11.240 You hear all the time from the Democrat candidates that this is the richest, most powerful nation in the history of the world.

00:19:17.300 They never talk about the fact that we got there through capitalism.

00:19:20.800 And now you're trying to switch us to socialism, which doesn't work and wouldn't have gotten us there.

00:19:26.200 It doesn't make any sense.

00:19:27.760 No.

00:19:28.100 But we keep going down these things.

00:19:29.460 These rules keep popping up because we want to go down these roads of government control.

00:19:34.700 We all feel better, apparently, when the government tells us it's going to, everything's going to be okay.

00:19:39.380 And, you know, even with these mental health laws or mental health concerns and red flag laws, it's amazing.

00:19:46.360 Like, for example, there's a story in the New York Times talking about, you know, mental health and how big of a problem that is.

00:19:53.340 They say scientists find that only a small fraction of people with persistent mental distress are more likely than average to commit violent acts.

00:19:59.020 Patients with paranoid schizophrenia, which is characterized by delusional thinking and often so-called command hallucinations, frightening voices, identifying threats where none exist.

00:20:08.360 People living in this kind of misery are far more likely to be the victims of violence than perpetrators.

00:20:12.880 But they can act violently themselves, especially when using drugs or alcohol.

00:20:17.420 The clearest recent case is Jared Loeffner, the college student who opened fire at an event in Tucson, Arizona, hosted by Gabrielle Giffords in 2011, killing six and wounding 13.

00:20:29.840 Mr. Loeffner's online post demonstrated increasing drug use and paranoid fantasies.

00:20:33.980 I thought that was caused by a pamphlet that had the word target and reload on it.

00:20:40.580 Now, we are finally coming to the point where we're saying, oh, yeah, that was complete insanity, making sure I understand this.

00:20:47.400 Because at the time, you know, it was an ad that said, we're targeting these districts.

00:20:51.500 We can't retreat.

00:20:52.760 We need to reload.

00:20:54.520 And that was the cause of it for many years.

00:20:58.280 Now, we finally learn, oh, by the way, it's the most clear example of mental health in recent memory.

00:21:04.400 Now, now we're on that.

00:21:06.740 Now that none of the people involved are in office anymore, it's OK to say, by the way, this guy was just insane.

00:21:12.620 And his his he was his big concern literally was grammar.

00:21:17.360 You remember?

00:21:18.220 He was like he was he had some ideology based on the some new kind of grammar that he wanted to implement.

00:21:25.460 Insane.

00:21:26.280 Wow.

00:21:26.740 In every way.

00:21:27.420 Yeah.

00:21:27.600 Man, I'm really excited to welcome a brand new sponsor to the show to Kovus.

00:22:40.540 888-727-BECK.

00:22:42.940 Frank Figliuzzi on MSNBC had a powerful point to make about Donald Trump with the raising and lowering of the flags.

00:22:56.000 I mean, this is some pretty brainiac stuff here.

00:23:02.220 This is, well, you're saying from the Trump administration, who is, there's such white supremacists.

00:23:08.520 Yeah, that they've been.

00:23:09.580 This is like 50 dimensional chess that they're playing here with their white supremacy.

00:23:14.280 Listen to this.

00:23:15.920 He'll clue us in.

00:23:16.700 We have to understand the adversary and the threat we're dealing with.

00:23:19.120 Right.

00:23:19.640 And if we don't understand how they think, we'll never understand how to counter them.

00:23:23.620 Thank you, Frank.

00:23:24.220 The little things and language and messaging that matters.

00:23:26.820 The president said that we will fly our flags at half mast until August 8th.

00:23:33.560 That's 8-8.

00:23:35.560 Oh, my.

00:23:36.060 Now, I'm not going to imply that he did this deliberately.

00:23:38.840 What are you doing then?

00:23:39.440 But I am using it as an example of the ignorance of the adversary that's being demonstrated by the White House.

00:23:44.260 The numbers 8-8 are very significant in neo-Nazi and white supremacy movement.

00:23:49.640 Oh, my God.

00:23:50.180 Why?

00:23:50.400 Because the letter H is the eighth letter of the alphabet.

00:23:54.940 And to them, the numbers 8-8 together stand for Heil Hitler. 0.56

00:23:59.260 Oh, my gosh.

00:23:59.720 So, he's going to be raising the flag back up at dusk on 8-8.

00:24:04.720 That is unreal.

00:24:05.260 No one's thinking about this.

00:24:06.660 No one's giving him the advice or he's rejecting the advice.

00:24:10.620 Yeah, no one is thinking about it.

00:24:12.060 I'll give you that.

00:24:12.920 I'll give him that.

00:24:13.680 Yeah, he's right.

00:24:14.540 He's right about that.

00:24:15.500 Other than him.

00:24:17.120 That is unbelievable.

00:24:19.400 It is really one of the strangest things.

00:24:21.480 That's unbelievable.

00:24:21.920 Because there is a thing online.

00:24:23.540 This is something that is relatively well-known among people who cover white nationalism and white supremacy.

00:24:31.500 There's two big things.

00:24:32.800 The 8-8, which H-H, Heil Hitler, is a real thing that they do online sometimes.

00:24:38.080 And there's also a thing called, what was it, 14 words?

00:24:40.680 Do you know what I'm talking about?

00:24:41.760 I can't think of it exactly.

00:24:42.660 But it's something like that.

00:24:43.320 And it's a phrase that says something about how white people are being targeted or blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:24:48.440 Some nonsensical, you know, white supremacy thing.

00:24:51.280 And so those are two things that they talk about a lot in these extremist groups.

00:24:54.440 However, that does not mean everything that occurs on August 8th has to do with that.

00:24:59.020 Right?

00:24:59.460 Like, I don't know.

00:25:00.100 I don't know.

00:25:01.620 What's he supposed to do?

00:25:03.000 Like, he's supposed to hold it to August 9th, so then white supremacists don't think he's signaling Heil Hitler to them?

00:25:11.120 I mean, this is bonkers.

00:25:13.760 How do you bring this guy back on next time after that?

00:25:17.420 That's the type of thing that's like, you just don't come back on as an expert after that segment, right?

00:25:23.660 Right.

00:25:24.000 Instead, he'll be on tomorrow.

00:25:25.280 Yeah, he will.

00:25:26.200 Yes, he will.

00:25:26.660 Saying the same thing.

00:25:27.020 Now, if, come on, if people were doing that to Obama when he was in office, they would have been laughed off of the air and they wouldn't come back.

00:25:37.720 Because, you know, there'd be boycotts of the channel if you brought him back.

00:25:45.260 They would have boycotted Fox News if you would have done that kind of stuff to Obama.

00:25:50.060 Of course.

00:25:50.540 But I guess it's perfectly fine.

00:25:52.640 They did boycott it for much less.

00:25:54.420 Right.

00:25:55.000 And they're boycotting him right now.

00:25:56.100 Much less.

00:25:56.820 This is a funny thing that's going on with Tucker Carlson right now.

00:25:59.900 Because there's a thing that trended yesterday that said, fire Tucker Carlson.

00:26:04.400 Because he said that the white supremacy thing is a hoax.

00:26:07.780 Right.

00:26:08.180 And so if you look at...

00:26:08.940 Because there's nothing to it.

00:26:10.460 How many white supremacists do you know?

00:26:12.840 Oh, none.

00:26:13.820 None.

00:26:14.220 Obviously.

00:26:14.860 Zero.

00:26:15.260 I mean, look, there's a very small amount of white supremacists in this country.

00:26:18.620 It's a fringe element.

00:26:20.100 Incredibly small amount.

00:26:20.940 Just like we were told all the time with the Black Panthers.

00:26:23.380 Oh, that's a fringe element.

00:26:24.500 Why are you even talking about them?

00:26:25.960 Don't even talk about them.

00:26:26.960 But in both cases, I do think it is important to fight that ideology and show how stupid

00:26:31.720 it is.

00:26:32.120 Yeah.

00:26:32.520 You know, and it is important for people in the FBI to make sure that they understand

00:26:36.140 what the hell's going on.

00:26:37.060 Because it doesn't take a lot.

00:26:38.780 You don't need a thousand.

00:26:40.120 Right?

00:26:40.280 How many...

00:26:40.980 You're talking about, what, 24 people at 9-11?

00:26:43.400 Right?

00:26:43.520 You don't need hundreds of thousands of people to be damaging.

00:26:48.180 And so it's good that we fight these things.

00:26:49.900 But to act as if it's a massive problem, that is what he was trying to say.

00:26:54.400 It's ludicrous.

00:26:54.420 It's not a widespread ideology.

00:26:58.420 For example, and we talked about this, I think, a little bit earlier this week on this

00:27:02.100 show, if you want to say there's 250 plus mass shootings in this country, you can try

00:27:08.860 to say it.

00:27:09.360 Because by some definitions, and the definitions in my mind are completely ridiculous because

00:27:14.540 it does not at all identify as what we think of when we think about a mass shooting.

00:27:18.500 But if you want to use that number, you can.

00:27:20.980 And you're going to say it's from the Gun Violence Archive is the place that comes up

00:27:28.360 with that number.

00:27:29.900 And basically, they say anytime there's been an incident where four people have been shot,

00:27:33.920 whether anyone dies or not, whether it's police firing at people, whether it's a mistake,

00:27:42.140 you know what I mean?

00:27:42.740 Like a gun goes off and hits a couple times.

00:27:45.880 Who knows?

00:27:46.860 One person, domestic violence.

00:27:48.780 Gang, violence, anything all qualifies.

00:27:51.360 That's why we have some 250 mass shootings.

00:27:53.400 Somebody kills their own family.

00:27:54.920 Exactly.

00:27:55.440 That'd be a mass shooting. 0.95

00:27:56.240 Right.

00:27:56.540 So that is the reason they love that number is because it's so scary.

00:28:01.740 Holy crap.

00:28:02.560 There's been 250 of these.

00:28:03.660 I'm not even hearing about them.

00:28:04.660 That's how common they are.

00:28:05.700 That's what they want the average person to react to.

00:28:07.840 At the same time, they want to tell you the problem with mass shootings is white nationalism,

00:28:13.600 white supremacy.

00:28:14.600 Well, you can't have both of those things.

00:28:16.960 The problem with it is if you look at the faces of the people that have committed the 251 mass shootings in this country,

00:28:24.980 it's going to be hard to convince people that they're white supremacists because most of them aren't white.

00:28:29.680 The overwhelming majority of them are not white.

00:28:33.920 And that doesn't mean that anything like, oh, that race is bad or whatever.

00:28:38.840 What it means is the overwhelming majority of our crime problem is an inner city gang violence problem.

00:28:44.440 It's not white supremacy.

00:28:45.580 So you have to abandon your racial anti-white supremacy point to get the 251 number or you have to abandon the 251 number and go with a number that is a lot less impressive, which is six.

00:29:01.220 And six would be the number of the real mass shootings that we think about in this country.

00:29:04.820 Three of which were done by white people.

00:29:08.220 So you can go down these roads if you'd like.

00:29:12.140 But you're going to lose your little racial point and then tell us about how above race you are.

00:29:17.660 Please, please do that.

00:29:18.840 And I think like that's the type of thing that people don't realize.

00:29:22.840 Right.

00:29:23.180 You know, you go on Facebook and you see people that, you know, and they're people when you have conversations with them, they seem intelligent and is relatively well informed and have absolutely no idea the facts of these situations.

00:29:38.120 I have, Pat, I went on the air Monday and started talking about the issue with this manifesto where he goes into a large portion of the manifesto of the two complaints he has.

00:29:51.660 One is white supremacy and immigration.

00:29:53.560 One is environmentalism.

00:29:55.580 Very clearly outlines both cases in this manifesto.

00:29:58.980 I have yet to see one mainstream media source point out that he talked about environmentalism.

00:30:05.240 Yeah.

00:30:05.320 All of these people are like, well, if you look at his manifesto, it's white supremacy.

00:30:08.480 Well, yeah, it was partially white supremacy.

00:30:10.840 It was also so much plastic waste and we are over utilizing our resources and all of them.

00:30:17.400 We need to eliminate people because they're using up too many resources overpopulation scare that parroting that ideology that has been around in the environmentalist community forever.

00:30:27.500 This guy sounded like Jay Inslee in this in this manifesto.

00:30:33.540 Does that mean Jay Inslee is responsible?

00:30:35.960 Well, of course not.

00:30:36.640 Yes.

00:30:37.700 Oh.

00:30:38.300 Oh, sorry.

00:30:38.900 But I mean, the other side of that is you're doing exactly what the other side is doing.

00:30:43.220 I know.

00:30:43.720 They're saying Trump is responsible because.

00:30:45.340 Right.

00:30:45.560 And he's not even a white nationalist.

00:30:46.980 They are environmentalists.

00:30:48.580 They're not denying that.

00:30:49.400 They're running on it.

00:30:50.260 Yep.

00:30:50.460 They're running on the things he said in his manifesto.

00:30:53.020 Trump isn't running on the things that of white nationalism.

00:30:57.120 Yes, he's saying there's a problem at the border and he's used the word invasion, which apparently is like, I mean, it's basically a DNA test proving he was the murderer to the to the media.

00:31:06.880 Well, there's much more clear things that people are embracing on the left that were in that manifesto, and I don't think anybody knows it like that's what's incredible.

00:31:19.020 This audience knows it.

00:31:20.500 Maybe a couple of conservative sites have picked up on this since Monday, but very few and the mainstream media won't even admit it occurred.

00:31:28.220 That is a major problem, man.

00:31:31.260 They are falling down on the job, and they're falling down on the job because all they care about, they don't care about who was shot.

00:31:38.220 It's their hatred for Donald Trump.

00:31:39.540 They just want to make this into a thing, and they can take down Trump with it.

00:31:42.560 That's it.

00:31:43.120 It's incredible.

00:31:43.960 That's all it is.

00:31:45.420 I mean, when you turn on that town hall Chris Cuomo conducted last night.

00:31:54.420 Is that what you call it?

00:31:55.440 I guess.

00:31:56.800 I guess.

00:31:57.620 Yeah.

00:31:58.220 So bad.

00:31:59.660 I mean, it's embarrassing how bad that was.

00:32:04.640 First of all, he talked about inviting the NRA to the town hall.

00:32:08.440 Here's what Chris Cuomo said about inviting the NRA.

00:32:11.540 We also invited the National Rifle Association, the NRA, to be part of its conversation.

00:32:16.160 They declined.

00:32:16.920 They sent a totally disingenuous statement that they're open to honest discussion, but not this spectacle.

00:32:22.880 That's what you call this?

00:32:23.720 A spectacle?

00:32:24.260 Yes.

00:32:24.480 I guess they want to do their talking with propaganda ads and millions in lobbyists.

00:32:27.620 They came last time.

00:32:29.540 Besides, let's be honest.

00:32:30.660 The gun lobby is not going to be the answer.

00:32:33.140 And that shouldn't be expected any more than we expected big tobacco to help us expose the ills of smoking.

00:32:37.660 The reality is people like you are the answer.

00:32:41.380 Thank you.

00:32:41.840 And there can be no sides when it comes to wanting to be safer, better protected.

00:32:46.820 There just can't be.

00:32:47.840 Not anymore.

00:32:48.960 God, he's horrible.

00:32:50.380 He's so bad.

00:32:51.420 First of all, they act, oh, the NRA, they're cowards.

00:32:53.880 They came to the last thing that you did.

00:32:55.460 And they saw the spectacle.

00:32:56.140 Dana Lash was there.

00:32:56.680 Dana Lash was there.

00:32:57.880 You praised the Broward Sheriff on stage for an entire hour.

00:33:02.780 You had an audience there applauding.

00:33:05.500 And it was a spectacle.

00:33:06.800 It was a spectacle.

00:33:07.620 And by the way, you also had CNN employees talking to Dana Lash off the air and saying,

00:33:12.560 hey, I want to make sure you have security so you can get out of here.

00:33:15.440 Why on earth would they send somebody again to your event?

00:33:18.460 Why on earth would they do that?

00:33:19.920 You created a real security threat for the people who came to very respectfully argue and converse about a serious constitutional issue.

00:33:32.420 You had people screaming obscenities at them the entire time.

00:33:36.120 And you created a security threat for them.

00:33:38.920 Yeah.

00:33:39.560 And you're like, oh, well, now they won't show up to our little party.

00:33:42.360 I wonder why.

00:33:43.360 We bashed their brains in last time and it was completely unfair to them.

00:33:50.240 Why don't they want to do that again?

00:33:52.200 It's like, well, they're no fun at all.

00:33:55.920 We really wanted to do it again.

00:34:00.540 That's due for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

00:34:02.460 Triple eight, seven, two, seven, B.E.C.K.

00:34:04.460 Tucker Carlson.

00:34:05.100 We kind of got started on this and got sidetracked.

00:34:07.060 But Tucker Carlson's being targeted with this fire Tucker Carlson thing because of his rant.

00:34:11.280 And yesterday he announced he's going on vacation.

00:34:14.720 And of course, as is always the case, all of these boycott organizations take credit and say that, oh, well, he got suspended.

00:34:23.060 See, it worked. 0.76

00:34:24.300 And this is the great thing about being one of these organizations is when you're in constant boycott mode of every host on a network.

00:34:30.980 Eventually, one of them goes on vacation.

00:34:33.520 And so you get to take credit for it.

00:34:35.500 I can remember and I'm sure you can remember this as well, Pat.

00:34:37.760 When we were at Fox and I think at CNN, too, but I remember specifically at Fox when we would go on vacation every time they took credit.

00:34:46.640 They would take credit as if we were being suspended because of something that they did or some boycott, some advertiser they say pulled out that was never on the show or whatever.

00:34:54.240 Yep.

00:34:54.400 And we would have to go and dig out documentation, emails from months earlier where we set up our vacation schedules for the year and say this was scheduled all this time ago.

00:35:03.960 And we had the media was 100 percent willing to accept the reasoning of the boycott organizations unless we could prove our own innocence with documentation.

00:35:15.160 It was like we were being suspended unless you guys can come up with something that shows you you had a vacation.

00:35:21.600 It was never like, well, how about them having to prove that we're being suspended?

00:35:26.760 We just have to prove our own innocence.

00:35:28.600 We're guilty until proven innocent.

00:35:30.020 And still, many of these media organizations still ran with the idea that we were being suspended despite the fact that we gave them emails from months earlier saying when our vacation was.

00:35:43.040 It was impossible.

00:35:44.820 It really was impossible.

00:35:46.800 I mean, the media is so horrible with this stuff because you know what?

00:35:50.740 They can taste it.

00:35:52.500 They want him, Tucker Carlson in this case, or Laura Ingram another day or Glenn Beck another day.

00:35:57.400 They want them fired so badly so they can feel like they've accomplished something with their journalism degrees.

00:36:03.280 Yeah.

00:36:03.460 And they just dive into it.

00:36:05.860 And it is something that they have to know isn't real, but it doesn't matter.

00:36:11.420 It doesn't matter if they can come up with some justification to make people believe that in reality he's being suspended.

00:36:19.500 And I don't know.

00:36:20.000 I don't know the Tucker Carlson situation.

00:36:21.700 I just know with us that did not happen and it was not the case.

00:36:26.020 They did not suspend us.

00:36:27.500 I mean, you're watching the Showtime show about the era of us at Fox and the whole Fox founding.

00:36:33.380 It was called The Loudest Voice.

00:36:35.160 I don't know if they addressed that particular thing, but they did go into the Glenn targeting many times.

00:36:40.240 Yeah.

00:36:40.500 And they also, they also go in, this is an ancillary point maybe, but they also go into what Fox did to people from time to time.

00:36:51.460 And they did it to us from time to time.

00:36:54.360 They did.

00:36:54.740 Well, I will say that is an additional point.

00:36:56.720 Yes.

00:36:57.160 And probably what I should bring up.

00:36:58.980 Yes.

00:36:59.360 Fox occasionally helped with that.

00:37:01.520 You know what?

00:37:01.920 You're right.

00:37:02.240 I shouldn't bring that up because in the media's defense, there were people at Fox continually leaking against us too.

00:37:09.420 Which is strange.

00:37:10.940 And people have a hard time believing that, but now you see it and you can kind of understand why.

00:37:16.320 Because they didn't want anybody getting bigger than the network.

00:37:19.260 And anybody who started to get really big, they wanted to beat you down a little bit and let you know who was boss and who was in charge and who was really, you know, who was really in charge.

00:37:34.720 And they showed you every once in a while.

00:37:36.540 So there's a little element of that there, too.

00:37:42.160 Is the show good?

00:37:43.180 I've loved it.

00:37:43.980 I think it's really compelling.

00:37:45.040 Really?

00:37:45.380 Yeah, really compelling.

00:37:46.460 Is it?

00:37:46.900 I mean, obviously, it's from a left-wing viewpoint, but it's well done.

00:37:49.960 Absolutely.

00:37:50.580 And some total and complete lies about Fox and the making up stories out of whole cloth.

00:37:58.000 And it's just not true.

00:37:59.220 And then there's, you know, a few elements like we just discussed that are, in fact, quite true.

00:38:07.180 It's interesting to watch.

00:38:08.580 Interesting.

00:38:08.860 It really is.

00:38:09.520 We lived it.

00:38:10.340 It was a rollercoaster ride, man.

00:38:11.500 Yeah.

00:38:11.900 It was interesting.

00:38:12.600 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:38:20.360 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:38:22.460 Point of personal privilege.

00:38:23.800 He hers.

00:38:25.340 Yes, go ahead.

00:38:26.860 Thank you.

00:38:27.780 Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.

00:38:30.120 Now, apparently, you've got a story that's even more pathetic than the people we saw at the Socialist Convention.

00:38:36.800 I think it's at least on that level.

00:38:40.800 Really?

00:38:41.220 And it's really telling.

00:38:42.400 Because, you know, look, it's a socialist convention.

00:38:44.960 Maybe you would expect it to be a little nuts like that.

00:38:47.780 Honestly, I was surprised.

00:38:49.200 I didn't expect it.

00:38:50.780 I mean, I just expected socialism.

00:38:53.700 I didn't expect the weenie-ism that came out of it.

00:38:56.520 Right.

00:38:56.880 Because there is that level of, I need a cry space, a crying cave.

00:39:03.060 I need a safe space.

00:39:04.460 And I feel like we hear those stories from time to time.

00:39:06.940 And usually that's college stuff.

00:39:08.440 It's usually college stuff.

00:39:09.680 And it's usually, I don't know, for some reason, I don't want to say I dismiss it.

00:39:15.060 Because it is something real that's happening.

00:39:17.560 And it's so bizarre and extreme to me.

00:39:20.100 Yeah.

00:39:20.380 On the other hand, though, it's so laughable.

00:39:23.160 And I think it's one of those things that even when you, like, if you tell a story like that,

00:39:26.580 you know, I have plenty of friends who vote Democrat.

00:39:28.780 If I tell that story to them, they're going to laugh at it too.

00:39:31.320 Yes.

00:39:31.640 And they're going to be embarrassed by them.

00:39:33.280 They're going to be embarrassed by them.

00:39:34.460 If they, you know, that is very, it's so crazy.

00:39:38.240 Like, you know, it's not just a Democratic voter.

00:39:41.120 It's not just a Democratic Socialist voter.

00:39:43.060 It's not a Green Party voter.

00:39:44.400 It's a Socialist, like, you're in the Democratic Socialist Party.

00:39:48.020 So I guess it's Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez level craziness.

00:39:51.180 She's a card-carrying member.

00:39:52.300 Right.

00:39:52.680 But it's not your average Democratic voter.

00:39:55.900 Right.

00:39:56.020 Like, that is not who, people, they don't operate like that.

00:39:59.300 I don't think so.

00:39:59.960 I don't think so.

00:40:00.480 Yeah, I hope we're not quite there yet.

00:40:02.300 They're super liberal.

00:40:03.080 They want higher taxes.

00:40:04.140 They're wrong on all of these issues.

00:40:05.300 But they're not saying, hey, wait, guys, don't make noise.

00:40:08.220 You're, you know, what was it?

00:40:10.040 You're hurting my focus.

00:40:12.120 Yes.

00:40:12.680 And don't use non-gender pronouns.

00:40:14.340 Offending and sensibility is really sensitive to sound and smell and sight and taste.

00:40:19.720 Right.

00:40:19.860 And please stop all of my senses right now.

00:40:21.780 And apparently everything else.

00:40:22.980 Yes.

00:40:23.960 So there's a story by a, she told this story on Twitter.

00:40:30.200 And it's, I think, one of the more fascinating insights into what our future looks like in America.

00:40:37.340 And what if you happen to be a boss who is employing people from this generation and trying to figure out how the hell to do it.

00:40:46.640 Tell me this story does not relate to you.

00:40:49.080 We'll get into it in 60 seconds.

00:40:51.780 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:40:56.480 A good night's sleep is a must for any of us who have a crazy schedule.

00:41:01.300 I toss and turn an awful lot.

00:41:03.440 I have the right bed.

00:41:05.000 But I thought I had the right pillow.

00:41:07.320 Mike sent me a MyPillow.

00:41:56.160 Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

00:42:04.560 All right.

00:42:05.240 All right.

00:42:05.560 You're ready for this?

00:42:06.260 I'm ready for it.

00:42:07.360 Yeah.

00:42:07.640 Here's the story.

00:42:08.860 Here's hopefully a short synopsis of something that happened this week that I still don't understand.

00:42:14.220 In office space near a client, a young woman was meeting with her boss. 0.67

00:42:18.980 She was, by my estimation, in her late 20s.

00:42:21.680 The boss, also a woman, was giving her feedback and reviewing edits she had made on something that this young woman wrote.

00:42:29.920 They had been speaking in low tones, but their volume got louder toward the end of the conversation because the young woman was getting agitated about a particular edit.

00:42:37.560 So she wrote some article.

00:42:39.160 She's getting edits from her boss.

00:42:40.740 She doesn't like this one edit.

00:42:42.240 This happens all the time in this world.

00:42:45.540 The particular edit was correcting the spelling of hamster to hamster.

00:42:51.680 Now, I'm going to read the spelling.

00:42:54.100 She spelled it, the employee spelled it H-A-M-P-S-T-E-R.

00:42:59.520 Now, that is not what the word is, obviously.

00:43:01.800 It's hamster, H-A-M-S-T-E-R.

00:43:04.660 Yes.

00:43:04.980 Okay.

00:43:05.300 So she spelled it hamster, like a hamper where you throw your clothes.

00:43:09.640 Yeah.

00:43:10.020 Right?

00:43:10.340 But hamster, meaning the animal, there's no P in there.

00:43:14.200 Okay?

00:43:14.620 Pretty basic.

00:43:15.260 Right.

00:43:15.360 So she spelled it wrong and somebody corrected her and she's hacked off about it.

00:43:20.340 She had used the phrase, like spinning in a hamster wheel, in the draft, and it was like

00:43:27.180 they were talking about it being like an op-ed or a speech or something.

00:43:30.320 So spinning in a hamster wheel, H-A-M-P-S-T-E-R. 1.00

00:43:33.900 So the boss is saying, hey, we got to change that to H-A-M-S-T-E-R.

00:43:37.660 The young woman kept saying, I don't know why you corrected this, because I spell it 0.80

00:43:41.860 with a P in it.

00:43:43.720 And the boss said calmly, but that's not how the word is spelled.

00:43:47.520 There is no P in hamster.

00:43:52.220 Okay.

00:43:52.620 And the young woman replied, but you don't know that.

00:43:55.640 I learned to spell it with a P and that's how I spell it.

00:44:00.940 The boss, remaining very calm and professional, let's go to dictionary.com.

00:44:07.040 And look it up together.

00:44:09.060 Now again, as the writer points out, this is a woman in her late 20s, not a fifth grader.

00:44:16.600 The young woman insists she doesn't need to look it up because it's fine to spell it with

00:44:21.380 a P because that's how she wanted to spell it.

00:44:26.500 Okay.

00:44:27.360 The boss says, let's look over the rest of this piece so I can explain the rest of my

00:44:32.300 edits.

00:44:32.580 They do.

00:44:33.420 And I can see the young woman is fighting back tears.

00:44:38.200 The boss is calm, cool, and handles this with professionalism and empathy.

00:44:42.420 The boss says, I know edits can be difficult to go over sometimes, especially when you're

00:44:46.560 working on new kinds of things as you grow in your career.

00:44:49.160 But it's a necessary process and makes us all better at what we do.

00:44:53.120 Can't handle it better than that, right?

00:44:54.600 You can't handle this craziness better than that.

00:44:56.400 Yeah.

00:44:56.500 The boss gets up from the table and goes to her office and the young woman can barely hold 1.00

00:45:01.060 it together.

00:45:02.040 She moves to another table.

00:45:04.900 Is there a crying room in this workspace?

00:45:07.160 That's the problem.

00:45:08.080 I hope there is.

00:45:08.840 Apparently there was not.

00:45:09.780 Oh, no.

00:45:10.880 Because she goes to another table in the common workspace area, drops all her stuff loudly

00:45:17.160 on the tabletop and starts texting.

00:45:20.220 A minute later, her phone rings.

00:45:24.340 It was her mom.

00:45:27.460 So she called her mom.

00:45:28.600 Well, she had texted her mom to call her because it was urgent, and I'm sure her mother might

00:45:35.560 have thought, you know, I don't know, she's in the ER or something.

00:45:38.480 She then, in the common workspace, puts her mom on speakerphone. 0.58

00:45:44.540 Okay.

00:45:46.220 She bursts into tears and wants her mom to call her boss. 0.99

00:45:54.280 Now, I'm guessing, if I don't know this story, I'm guessing mom will do that because this

00:45:59.680 is obviously how she's been brought up.

00:46:01.300 How else could she be this way, right?

00:46:03.400 Okay.

00:46:03.840 Yeah.

00:46:04.040 She bursts into tears, wants her mom to call her boss, and tell her not to be mean about 0.71

00:46:08.420 telling her how to spell words like hamster.

00:46:11.020 Oh, my gosh.

00:46:12.480 The mother tells her that her boss is an idiot.

00:46:16.180 This is, again, on speakerphone.

00:46:17.520 And she doesn't have to listen to her.

00:46:19.620 Wow.

00:46:19.820 And she should go to the boss's boss to file a complaint about not allowing creativity 0.99

00:46:24.800 in her writing.

00:46:28.980 Why don't you just spell every word the way you want, then?

00:46:32.280 Why not?

00:46:32.680 How would anyone communicate with each other if you could just spell words however you want?

00:46:38.020 The young woman kept saying, quote, unbelievable.

00:46:43.360 I thought what I wrote was perfect, and she just made all these changes and then had the

00:46:48.680 nerve to tell me I was spelling words wrong when I know they are right because that is

00:46:53.540 how I have always spelled them.

00:46:56.120 Now, that is not the way you figure out whether something is right or not.

00:47:01.120 This is that world, right, where, like, every fact is morally relative, right?

00:47:06.660 Yeah.

00:47:06.800 Like, there's some relative thing.

00:47:08.860 Well, I think it's right, so therefore it's right.

00:47:10.780 I have my truth, right?

00:47:12.440 Mm-hmm.

00:47:12.620 It's that sort of rationale.

00:47:14.660 Yep.

00:47:15.020 Um, she says, she then went on, still on speakerphone, to tell her mom that I'm very great and often...

00:47:23.360 By the way, there's no embarrassment factor here.

00:47:25.420 No, I know!

00:47:26.400 Everybody's hearing this?

00:47:27.940 You're in a common workspace on speakerphone.

00:47:29.940 I always have those thoughts when you're, like, in an airport and someone's, like, in a fight

00:47:33.900 on their speakerphone, like, sitting on a bench around...

00:47:36.560 Like, what person thinks that's the right thing to do?

00:47:39.160 It's incredible.

00:47:40.060 Like, you go to the corner, if you have to have this conversation right now, and you do

00:47:44.000 it quietly and calmly, you don't put it on speakerphone and yell swears at the person,

00:47:48.740 but yet that happens, like, every other time I'm at an airport.

00:47:51.060 Um, the woman then, uh, the employee, uh, then went on, still on speakerphone, to tell

00:47:56.700 her mom, I'm very great and office inappropriate detail, um, about how hungover she was and

00:48:03.980 what she did with her friend and with some guys the night before.

00:48:07.560 So she's saying how wonderful she is, but then also talking about how she's hungover at

00:48:12.740 work on speakerphone in public, and then, uh, her mom laughed and laughed. 1.00

00:48:18.720 The colleagues in and around the workplace kept looking at one another, some even put

00:48:23.140 earbuds and headphones on.

00:48:24.680 It appeared as though this was a regular thing with her.

00:48:27.900 She ended the conversation asking her mom how she should bring this up with a boss's 1.00

00:48:32.020 boss.

00:48:32.820 I mean, this is a quote, I mean, I always spell hamster with a P, she has no right to criticize

00:48:38.320 me.

00:48:43.000 She walked into the office kitchen for the rest of the call, so I don't know what happened

00:48:46.380 next.

00:48:46.680 I always get five when I add up two plus two.

00:48:49.600 You've got no right to correct me on that.

00:48:52.840 Isn't that incredible?

00:48:54.020 Where does that end?

00:48:55.300 There's no place that ends.

00:48:56.820 Right.

00:48:57.500 Except with total chaos in society.

00:48:59.860 And we've talked about, how many times have we talked about the idea that you have to be

00:49:03.120 able to have a foundation in truth?

00:49:05.280 We all have to be able to agree on some common principles for a country to operate.

00:49:09.500 Yes.

00:49:09.860 And like the spelling of words should be really easy.

00:49:12.160 That should be one of them.

00:49:12.900 That's a no-brainer right there.

00:49:14.380 Yeah.

00:49:15.020 And like Glenn says all the time, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, those should be a no-brainer.

00:49:18.740 We should all agree on that.

00:49:19.940 Okay.

00:49:20.180 That's our foundation.

00:49:21.380 It's literally the foundation of this country.

00:49:24.260 And then facts such as, I don't know, spelling and math should kind of be in concrete.

00:49:32.360 They really should.

00:49:33.560 You can't just spell it that way because you always have been wrong spelling it that way.

00:49:40.040 And you're going to keep doing it.

00:49:43.400 It is really incredible.

00:49:45.060 And of course, you're going to keep making...

00:49:46.120 So what came of this?

00:49:47.340 Do we know the outcome?

00:49:48.040 She kind of goes into a, you know, look, I don't know, maybe she has some learning disability

00:49:53.300 and maybe...

00:49:54.540 Oh, it's possible.

00:49:55.560 She's trying to find some way. 0.95

00:49:57.320 She's basically covering every basis in case she's being mean and doesn't realize she's 1.00

00:50:00.740 being mean.

00:50:01.400 Because in our society today, that's another thing that's happening.

00:50:04.340 Yes.

00:50:04.680 Because a lot of times it happens, like if you say, oh man, that guy's got a crappy haircut.

00:50:08.080 He fell on his head when he was four years old, you bastard.

00:50:11.720 It's like, all right, I didn't know that.

00:50:14.000 Okay.

00:50:14.300 And, you know, okay, I'm sorry.

00:50:16.460 Like, all right, you know, I guess it's not his fault, right?

00:50:19.300 Like, but this is this, you know, of course there is the outlying possibility that there's

00:50:22.800 something.

00:50:23.300 But again, like she's writing op-eds and, you know, you know, it doesn't seem like a normal

00:50:29.500 arrangement, but she's allowing for the complete outlier of the possibility that she's missing

00:50:34.540 something significant here.

00:50:36.260 She goes on to say, this is the writer of the story.

00:50:39.280 I think I was more perplexed by the insistence of wanting to spell something the way that she

00:50:43.820 wanted to because she wanted to, ignoring the fact that there are rules and dictionaries

00:50:47.440 and seeming offended that anyone would suggest the use of an outside resource as reference.

00:50:53.500 She goes on and say, you know, obviously if there's something I don't know about, you

00:50:58.580 know, she needs help or whatever.

00:50:59.620 I hope she gets it.

00:51:00.300 But it seemed like more like someone who had never been told no or that she is anything

00:51:04.180 other than 100% perfect and amazing and can do nothing wrong.

00:51:08.000 And it's going to be exhausting for her and anyone in her orbit.

00:51:11.500 I asked a colleague about it and he relayed a story about the time he gave an early 20

00:51:15.400 somethings, 20 something feedback on a writing assignment.

00:51:18.560 The young man quit the next day and had his parents call to tell him what a terrible boss

00:51:22.860 he was for correcting work that didn't need correcting.

00:51:25.040 I worry about how kids are being raised sometimes.

00:51:29.200 I really do.

00:51:30.560 That's how she wraps it up.

00:51:33.260 How are they going to get along in the workplace?

00:51:35.740 This is the problem.

00:51:36.920 You know, parents like that have allowed that behavior the whole time.

00:51:40.780 They haven't challenged them.

00:51:42.140 They haven't corrected them.

00:51:43.800 And everything they've done is right.

00:51:45.620 So where do you go with that in the workplace?

00:51:47.820 Yeah.

00:51:48.480 And you see this, like there are funny examples of it.

00:51:52.060 Like, I mean, this is an extreme example.

00:51:53.640 I assume, I mean, I hopefully I will say we work around people in their 20s and they don't

00:51:58.460 seem that way.

00:51:59.300 Right.

00:51:59.540 So it's certainly not widespread.

00:52:01.820 However, I mean, it may be widespread, but at least people who come work at the blaze

00:52:05.860 aren't like that.

00:52:06.480 I guess that's the only statement I can actually make on that particular topic.

00:52:09.360 People who are, you know, might be leaning conservative, maybe have a different profile.

00:52:14.100 But it is a situation where, you know, it's the American Idol effect, right?

00:52:20.060 They start that first episode and all these people come in that can't sing at all.

00:52:23.960 And they've been told their whole life how good they are.

00:52:26.180 Yeah.

00:52:26.340 And they have no idea that they can't function in this world that they think they can function

00:52:31.400 in.

00:52:31.820 Yeah.

00:52:32.160 They think they're great.

00:52:34.340 And Simon Cowell is just mean.

00:52:36.860 Simon Cowell is just telling you the truth.

00:52:39.700 And at some point you have to believe that people in this generation that have been raised

00:52:45.760 this way bump their heads really hard into a wall called reality.

00:52:50.640 The scary part is not that, though, to me.

00:52:52.920 The scary part is at some point that generation is now the boss.

00:52:58.020 We're only, what, 20 years away from that.

00:53:00.320 And when that generation is the boss and those people who think that way, if they're not,

00:53:05.540 if they don't have a change of thinking by then, they're running the country.

00:53:09.460 What the hell happens then?

00:53:10.600 It's over.

00:53:11.340 It's over at that point.

00:53:12.980 More in 60 seconds.

00:54:30.060 Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

00:54:32.640 Wow.

00:54:33.840 Well, you know, that's what's come of our participation trophy generation, isn't it?

00:54:38.420 We gave them trophies for participating.

00:54:41.320 We gave them game balls for participating.

00:54:43.740 We changed the grading system so they wouldn't be offended by getting low grades.

00:54:49.360 We stopped keeping score.

00:54:51.480 Sometimes we stopped grading people.

00:54:54.160 You know, the whole society bent over backwards so there wouldn't be any sort of embarrassment

00:55:01.020 or offense to these kids.

00:55:03.560 And now that's the result of at least that one girl in the workplace. 1.00

00:55:09.440 I would love to.

00:55:10.240 I mean, there have to be stories like this that people have seen.

00:55:12.860 If you have one, I would love to hear it.

00:55:14.300 888-727-BECK.

00:55:15.700 Because these things do happen.

00:55:17.360 They do happen.

00:55:19.020 And, you know, there is an entire industry that basically writes stories about millennials

00:55:26.240 and how terrible they are and get lots of clicks.

00:55:29.160 Like, that's a whole business.

00:55:30.700 Yeah.

00:55:30.960 And a lot of it is BS, right?

00:55:32.120 Like, I mean, you know, we deal with, unfortunately, millennials all the time. 1.00

00:55:36.280 And, you know, they work here.

00:55:37.400 And many of them are okay.

00:55:40.700 That's as far as I would go.

00:55:41.560 Many might be a stretch.

00:55:43.080 You know, that's true.

00:55:43.620 Some are okay.

00:55:44.040 Some are okay.

00:55:45.180 Yeah.

00:55:45.500 Now, look, people don't realize this.

00:55:47.380 But, you know, I was basically the first millennial.

00:55:50.600 Oh.

00:55:51.280 I don't know.

00:55:52.060 Yeah.

00:55:52.340 There are studies that identify my year of birth as at the very first year of being

00:55:58.000 a millennial.

00:55:58.860 So, I have a sort of like, I'm like the Obi-Wan Kenobi of all millennials. 0.73

00:56:05.660 That's how they look up to me in that way.

00:56:07.340 Because I was born in like the second month of millennialism.

00:56:11.280 So, in addition to being a Canadian sports celebrity, you're also a millennial guru?

00:56:16.700 Yes.

00:56:17.140 Oh, nice.

00:56:17.860 Yes.

00:56:18.180 That's me.

00:56:19.040 Uh-huh.

00:56:19.360 Um, but I, there is that sort of industry.

00:56:22.740 Like, there was a story that came out the other day.

00:56:24.260 There's like, you know, 22% of millennials have no friends.

00:56:27.460 And it's like, well.

00:56:28.060 I saw that.

00:56:28.500 Yeah.

00:56:28.820 And like, you look at the story and it's like, well, 18% of the next generation has no friends

00:56:33.300 too.

00:56:33.800 But it doesn't, that's not what they put in the headline.

00:56:36.080 Because people like to just, millennial bashing is objectively fun.

00:56:40.740 Like, it's objectively a fun pastime.

00:56:42.120 And it's almost a cottage industry right now.

00:56:44.220 It is.

00:56:44.820 And it's a little bit, it's a little bit fakey, right?

00:56:47.360 What was the article, there was a woman who was complaining about millennials going to 1.00

00:56:52.220 Disney World by themselves with no kids.

00:56:55.840 Like, because they like Disney World.

00:56:56.700 I'd love to do that.

00:56:57.660 Well, every, it's.

00:56:58.640 I would love that.

00:56:59.180 It's legitimately like, why it was created.

00:57:01.860 Yes, kids are part of it.

00:57:02.960 But the whole point is escapism, right?

00:57:05.040 Yep.

00:57:05.520 And the article was like, these millennials are going there just to escape because they 1.00

00:57:09.400 don't like real life.

00:57:10.320 Well, that's what Disney World is.

00:57:11.780 It's a different world called Disney World.

00:57:15.280 That's a dumb article.

00:57:16.780 Come on.

00:57:17.780 That did not need to be written.

00:57:19.240 But viral like crazy, right?

00:57:20.880 Tweeted everywhere.

00:57:21.720 And of course, did I, did I send it to multiple millennials that work here?

00:57:24.880 Yes, I did.

00:57:25.820 And I, with no commentary about how ridiculous it was.

00:57:28.480 I just wanted them to think they were bad people.

00:57:31.160 Okay.

00:57:31.580 Nice.

00:57:31.760 That's a totally different situation.

00:57:35.280 I don't know why.

00:57:36.260 There is something interesting about it, but it is, there is, and I think it's worse as

00:57:42.740 the generations go, right?

00:57:44.320 Look, I know I sound like I'm a thousand years old when you say like, well, my generation

00:57:48.160 was good and these other, these, these darn kids these days need to get off my lawn.

00:57:52.000 I got that.

00:57:52.720 I mean, I know it's, it's what happens to you when you get old and you start saying things

00:57:56.660 like that.

00:57:57.040 And I'm completely comfortable with it.

00:57:59.040 Um, but there's a legitimate issue here in that the reason why things like socialism are

00:58:07.320 popular among these generations is because they see it as mommy, right?

00:58:12.100 Their impression of it is mommy will take care of me.

00:58:16.720 All of these things that are problematic in my life can be handled by this giant government

00:58:21.940 thing that can, that can deal with it.

00:58:23.560 So I don't have to deal with it.

00:58:25.060 I don't have to have those problems and those tough decisions.

00:58:28.260 I don't have to face something like, well, there's this person who doesn't make enough

00:58:32.080 money for, to, to afford the surgery that they need.

00:58:34.620 How do we deal with that as a society?

00:58:36.280 Well, what if we just let Bernie Sanders handle it?

00:58:38.960 Then I don't have to make any tough decisions.

00:58:40.880 I can just let Bernie Sanders and Bill Gates handle it.

00:58:44.480 You know, Bernie Sanders can tax Bill Gates and then everything will be fine.

00:58:47.460 And then I never have to worry about a thing again.

00:58:49.640 And it's, it's understandable that they relate to that philosophy of government because that

00:58:54.360 philosophy of government takes all personal responsibility away from them.

00:58:58.080 Sure.

00:58:58.940 And I do think it's, it's not a minor problem.

00:59:02.240 They've also been indoctrinated to the fact that that is the way to take care of things

00:59:05.640 through massive governmental programs.

00:59:08.040 Yeah.

00:59:08.240 And so, you know, so many millennials didn't have a chance because that's what they've

00:59:12.660 been taught their whole life.

00:59:14.380 And that's how they've been coddled their whole life to the point where they have a nervous

00:59:19.160 breakdown when they find out a P is not in the word hamster.

00:59:24.180 Are we sure about that?

00:59:25.660 Nah, well.

00:59:26.540 Because I don't believe dictionary.com.

00:59:28.560 Wait, I've always spelled it.

00:59:30.020 I don't know.

00:59:31.840 Why should I change now?

00:59:33.460 I've always spelled it that way.

00:59:34.980 Reality's hard, man.

00:59:35.980 It is hard.

00:59:36.440 It really is.

00:59:37.660 You know, sometimes the P just isn't there and you got to deal with it.

00:59:42.940 It's a tough one.

00:59:44.120 And how many times has this person written this word hamster?

00:59:47.240 Why are they so sold on it?

00:59:48.800 So, by the way, it's a patent stew for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

00:59:57.660 Glenn returns on Monday.

00:59:59.420 We were talking a little bit off the air here about the way the media and big tech have can

01:00:05.000 censor materials and speech and how big of a problem that is.

01:00:10.920 And it's one of the issues that I think it makes a really clear point on why the red flag laws for guns are a real problem.

01:00:17.840 Because if you think taking away your speech is easy, you put it past a law where taking away guns, a Second Amendment right is easy.

01:00:26.440 That's not a good road to go down.

01:00:28.020 We've seen how this works, right?

01:00:29.840 You know, people are not capable of making these decisions very well.

01:00:34.320 And so it creates real problems.

01:00:36.160 It's also fascinating that as they're talking about how tyrannical and oppressive Trump is, they're also talking about taking guns from people.

01:00:42.700 So they should understand, shouldn't they, the risk involved here?

01:00:47.340 And it kind of tells you that they don't actually mean it.

01:00:50.380 Right.

01:00:50.740 Like, for example, how long have they been asking for these red flag laws, the Democrats?

01:00:54.480 A long time.

01:00:55.160 And, of course, Republicans are like, well, it's a Second Amendment issue.

01:00:57.640 You can't really do it anyway.

01:00:59.320 Plus, we're worried about the slippery slope and all of these different issues.

01:01:02.920 We're not going to go ahead with that.

01:01:04.900 And they said, we have to have them.

01:01:06.300 This is vital.

01:01:06.960 Why will they not do it?

01:01:07.920 And then so these shootings happen and Trump is like, all right, like, let's do it.

01:01:11.960 Let's do the red flag thing. 0.77

01:01:13.060 We played the clip earlier.

01:01:13.900 I mean, he's signaled before that he's very much on board for this type of legislation.

01:01:17.780 And typically, Second Amendment people around him have said, look, it's not a good idea.

01:01:22.520 His supporters, I mean, if our audience is any indication, they are not at all for this.

01:01:30.080 And, you know, it's not just our audience.

01:01:31.880 It's big time pro-Trump audiences.

01:01:34.160 I mean, I know there's a lot of Trump fans, certainly, in this audience.

01:01:36.940 But there is even like online, we talked about David Harris Jr., who's a big Trump supporter.

01:01:42.060 And he said the same thing to me, that the overwhelming reaction from his people yesterday

01:01:46.780 was like, look, no, just don't cross this line.

01:01:49.920 Well, listen to this quote from Schumer.

01:01:51.820 He's now warning the GOP about the red flag laws.

01:01:55.700 This is what Schumer said yesterday.

01:01:57.060 The notion that passing a tepid version of a red flag bill alone is even close to getting

01:02:03.400 the job done in addressing rampant gun violence in the U.S. is wrong and would be an ineffective

01:02:08.780 cop-out.

01:02:09.960 We Democrats are not going to settle for half measures so Republicans can feel better and

01:02:14.640 try to push the issue of gun violence off to the side.

01:02:17.580 And you're never going to win with these people.

01:02:20.660 And we know that these laws don't do anything to stop mass shootings.

01:02:24.200 So why bother here, right?

01:02:27.140 Why bother?

01:02:28.340 If you give them one inch, they will demand one mile and say, if you give any less than

01:02:34.740 one mile, you are Satan.

01:02:36.360 So what's the point of dealing with someone like Chuck Schumer?

01:02:38.620 And of course, Chuck Schumer, if what his goal was, was really to get a red flag law

01:02:44.240 passed, would not treat it this way, right?

01:02:46.780 He is saying, no, Republicans, don't do it.

01:02:50.080 He's telling them in advance, it's not going to work.

01:02:52.240 It's not going to help.

01:02:53.180 We're still going to kill you for it.

01:02:54.700 So why bother?

01:02:56.180 Why bother going down this road unless you really believe it's the right thing to do?

01:02:59.580 And there's a lot of questions about that.

01:03:02.000 Same thing kind of goes with the speech issue.

01:03:04.220 You have a red flag law where people can say, this person's problematic.

01:03:07.520 We should take his guns away, then figure out whether he's guilty or innocent.

01:03:10.260 Same thing is happening online.

01:03:12.140 Now, these are not government issues.

01:03:13.500 These are private company issues.

01:03:15.340 But these private company issues can move millions of votes.

01:03:23.480 It is a very serious thing.

01:03:27.300 And Ted Cruz did a little bit of work on this in a Senate committee hearing, talking to Robert

01:03:34.420 Epstein.

01:03:34.900 We've had him on the show before.

01:03:36.040 He's a Harvard professor.

01:03:37.720 He's a guy who supported Hillary Clinton.

01:03:40.640 He is not a Trump supporter at all.

01:03:44.060 But his case is, look, big tech is able to manipulate votes and they could change elections

01:03:50.240 in the favor of different candidates with no paper trail.

01:03:54.720 Listen to some of this exchange from earlier this week.

01:03:56.820 And in 2020, you can bet that all of these companies are going to go all out.

01:04:06.200 And the methods that they're using are invisible.

01:04:10.060 They're subliminal.

01:04:11.640 They're more powerful than most any effects I've ever seen in the behavioral sciences.

01:04:17.260 And I've been in the behavioral sciences for almost 40 years.

01:04:19.480 You know, our Democratic colleagues on this committee often talk about what they view as

01:04:24.460 the pernicious effect of big money and big corporate dollars.

01:04:28.300 What you are testifying to is that a handful of Silicon Valley billionaires and giant corporations

01:04:35.600 are able to spend millions of dollars, if not billions of dollars collectively, massively

01:04:42.320 influencing the results of elections.

01:04:46.020 And there's no accountability.

01:04:48.760 You said we don't know.

01:04:50.580 We have no way of knowing if Google or Facebook or Twitter sends it sends its Democrats or Republicans

01:04:55.420 or how they buy us it because it's a black box with with with with no transparency or

01:05:00.880 accountability whatsoever.

01:05:02.100 Am I understanding you correctly, Senator?

01:05:04.320 With respect, I must correct you, please.

01:05:06.440 If Mark Zuckerberg chooses to send out a go vote reminder just to Democrats on Election Day,

01:05:12.120 that doesn't cost him a dime.

01:05:13.620 Fair enough.

01:05:17.060 Do you happen to know who the Hillary Clinton campaign's number one financial supporter was

01:05:24.560 in the year 2016?

01:05:28.440 I think I do, but please remind me.

01:05:31.160 The number one financial supporter of the Hillary Clinton campaign in the 2016 election was the

01:05:36.100 parent company of Google, Alphabet, who was our first witness.

01:05:39.380 They were her number one financial donor.

01:05:41.820 And your testimony is through their deceptive search methods, they moved 2.6 million votes

01:05:47.860 in her direction.

01:05:48.740 I would think anybody, whether or not you favor one candidate or another, should be deeply

01:05:55.580 dismayed about a handful of Silicon Valley billionaires having that much power over our

01:06:01.420 elections to silently and deceptively shift vote outcomes.

01:06:07.440 Again, with respect, I must correct you.

01:06:10.160 The 2.6 million is a rock bottom minimum.

01:06:14.540 The range is between 2.6 and 10.4 million, depending on how aggressively they used the

01:06:21.600 techniques that I've been studying now for six and a half years.

01:06:25.180 Wow.

01:06:25.800 That's breathtaking.

01:06:27.020 Yeah, it is.

01:06:27.600 And this guy, again, is a Clinton supporter.

01:06:30.400 He is not a conservative.

01:06:31.580 Testifying was a Clinton supporter?

01:06:32.980 Clinton supporter.

01:06:33.980 He voted for Hillary.

01:06:35.720 Oh, my gosh.

01:06:36.480 And he said at the beginning, Cruz's first question was like, hey, so would you describe

01:06:40.760 yourself as a conservative Republican?

01:06:42.360 And he just laughed.

01:06:44.120 He goes, uh, no.

01:06:46.240 He's no fan of Republicans as far as policy goes.

01:06:50.740 Okay, none of this is a problem.

01:06:52.240 No.

01:06:52.800 But the Russian deal.

01:06:53.860 The Russian deal was a big deal because they put ads on and they retweeted people a bunch

01:06:58.940 of times with Russian bots.

01:07:01.140 When you listen to this testimony and what he's told us on the show as well, I think Glenn

01:07:05.960 did a podcast with this guy.

01:07:07.720 I think he did.

01:07:09.060 We've definitely had extended interviews with him.

01:07:11.700 So it's worth going back and listening to.

01:07:13.320 But he describes the methods, Pat.

01:07:15.300 And first of all, he says, if you take a 50-50 issue, let's say abortion or whatever, some

01:07:21.100 that one's probably too core of an issue, but a big issue, but it's a 50-50 split by

01:07:26.060 reordering the search results, not by changing them, but just by reordering them, his research

01:07:32.720 shows you can turn it from a 50-50 issue to a 90-10 issue.

01:07:36.980 Wow.

01:07:37.660 90-10.

01:07:38.940 Because again, the amount of people who have principles on an issue who have really thought

01:07:43.440 it all through and are, you know what, I am rock solid in this belief, it's minimal in

01:07:47.380 this country.

01:07:48.500 So they can switch people like that.

01:07:50.780 He said they did research where they monitored people's individual computers and what they

01:07:57.520 are seeing.

01:07:58.760 And I think a lot of people, and this is the way the internet was at the beginning, have

01:08:02.920 the impression that you type something in, oh, that's the number one search result.

01:08:06.520 So if I type it in, it's the number one search result.

01:08:08.440 When you type it in, you see the same number one search result.

01:08:11.060 Well, that's not true anymore.

01:08:12.080 So like, if I go, if I were to right now show you, you know, my page, my homepage on

01:08:17.360 yahoo.com, what it would tell you is apparently all of America loves the Philadelphia Eagles

01:08:24.020 because every other story is a Philadelphia Eagles story because that is the most likely

01:08:29.020 story for me to click on when I happen to go to yahoo.com, right?

01:08:32.620 Yep.

01:08:32.860 Or whatever site it is, it's all customized for me.

01:08:35.820 So there's no way to be able to monitor what they're doing with individual people.

01:08:41.320 So Epstein's point is they can determine because of what you're doing on the internet

01:08:46.460 and all the data that they have on you, whether you're going to be likely to vote for, let's

01:08:51.960 say, Bernie Sanders or Donald Trump.

01:08:55.100 And then they can, his extreme example is they could put a get out and vote alert to just

01:09:01.660 one side, just to the Bernie Sanders people, just the Elizabeth Warren people, and not send

01:09:08.060 it to the Trump people.

01:09:09.200 And it is possible, he said, that in the last election, up to 10 million people were influenced.

01:09:15.280 Yeah.

01:09:15.460 That's what his research said, because he actually was monitoring computers and seeing that.

01:09:18.900 Wow.

01:09:18.920 That's amazing.

01:09:20.700 And it's really incredible.

01:09:21.760 And I don't know, like, it is, it's like, if you think of it with the Russian bot situation,

01:09:30.640 right?

01:09:30.940 What were they able to do?

01:09:32.300 Well, afterwards, they were able to investigate, they were able to look back at all the public

01:09:36.360 Twitter posts, all the ads that were placed, and piece together a narrative of what Russia

01:09:40.260 did actually legitimately really try to do.

01:09:42.600 And they were really trying to do this.

01:09:44.020 They went after websites.

01:09:45.100 The whole Russian hoax thing has more to do with whether it affects Donald Trump, not

01:09:49.760 whether they actually tried to manipulate the election.

01:09:51.820 They did.

01:09:53.040 And so you look at that, and they were able to trace that back.

01:09:55.660 It was a difficult process, but they were able to do it.

01:09:58.220 If Google did something similar, they wouldn't be able to, because it only appeared on your

01:10:02.620 computer.

01:10:03.520 Plus, Google was far more successful than the Russians were at manipulating people. 1.00

01:10:07.540 Yeah.

01:10:07.780 And obviously, they're much better at this overall.

01:10:10.360 They're the best.

01:10:11.780 I mean, there's a reason why this is one of the most valuable companies in the world, is

01:10:14.700 because they do things really well, with the exception of place YouTube ads in the middle

01:10:18.420 of sentences and videos, which I will never understand.

01:10:21.560 Yeah.

01:10:21.800 I know.

01:10:22.820 This is a total side point, but here's a company that is internationally known for their user

01:10:28.440 experience.

01:10:29.200 You go to, like, is Gmail better than every other email?

01:10:31.840 Yeah.

01:10:32.320 Is Google Maps better than every other map?

01:10:34.440 Yeah.

01:10:34.960 Is Google Search better than every other search?

01:10:36.820 Yeah.

01:10:37.520 YouTube, it's this great service.

01:10:39.700 Let's just stick the ads in the middle of sentences of the videos you're watching.

01:10:44.700 It just stops, plays a 20-second ad, and then it goes back to the second half of the

01:10:50.100 actual sentence that you're watching.

01:10:53.920 How is that possible that this is how the system works?

01:10:56.520 It's definitely a way to make sure you see the ad.

01:10:58.700 I guess, but all it does is piss you off against the advertiser.

01:11:01.480 I know.

01:11:01.760 It's like, I would never buy something from these people.

01:11:06.240 How dare they?

01:11:07.160 No, it's not their fault at all.

01:11:08.720 My understanding is you can, if you want, place those ads in a place.

01:11:11.860 Like, if you're the one uploading the video, you can place it, and people just don't.

01:11:15.540 But still, like, how does Google?

01:11:16.840 They automate everything.

01:11:18.360 They're automating basically our elections at this point.

01:11:20.860 They can't automate where they put these freaking YouTube ads? 0.70

01:11:23.340 Unbelievable.

01:11:24.240 God, Christ, drives me nuts.

01:11:25.920 888-727-BECK.

01:11:27.820 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:11:30.360 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:11:33.720 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:11:35.720 You can check out my show, Pack Ray Unleashed, from 6 to 8 Central.

01:11:40.160 It'll be 7 to 9 Eastern, right before this show, or on podcast at any time.

01:11:46.520 Glenn returns on Monday.

01:11:47.760 We've been talking about many things.

01:11:50.220 Earlier, we had this story about the millennial who was so confident that hamster was spelled with a P

01:11:57.280 and couldn't be bothered to change it, didn't want to even look it up,

01:12:01.680 and then called her mommy because she was so offended that her boss was changing the spelling of the word hamster with a P. 1.00

01:12:09.420 Let's go to Scott in Texas.

01:12:11.980 Hey, Scott, you're on the Glenn Beck Program with Pat and Stu.

01:12:14.980 Hi.

01:12:15.300 Hey.

01:12:15.620 I'm calling as a former English teacher to share.

01:12:20.360 I think that story Stu was telling about, I think that that was one of my students.

01:12:25.580 Really?

01:12:27.320 There's a reason I say that.

01:12:29.000 I assigned a research paper, typical, go do this research paper, five pages, MLA format, the whole bit.

01:12:37.760 She turns in a paper that is a bunch of pictures with captions.

01:12:44.580 Okay.

01:12:45.220 I'm like, no, this is not a research paper.

01:12:48.000 It doesn't sign any sources.

01:12:53.240 It's just a bunch of pictures with captions.

01:12:56.240 Zero.

01:12:57.480 That's just an Instagram feed is what that is.

01:13:00.520 Yeah.

01:13:01.320 Mom comes in.

01:13:03.080 Oh, boy.

01:13:03.900 And why did you fail my daughter?

01:13:07.480 Well, because it was a research paper.

01:13:09.700 But she was being creative.

01:13:11.840 She was being creative.

01:13:13.600 But I'm an English teacher.

01:13:14.840 I'm supposed to be judging and helping them understand.

01:13:18.000 Develop skills for writing.

01:13:21.180 There's no writing here.

01:13:22.760 It's just pictures with captions.

01:13:28.020 She did not fulfill the assignment.

01:13:30.520 Right.

01:13:31.120 This seems pretty basic.

01:13:32.420 What was the mom's response?

01:13:35.060 But she was being creative.

01:13:36.940 Doesn't she get credit for that? 0.96

01:13:38.760 Oh, man.

01:13:39.780 Redo the paper.

01:13:40.700 I'll consider it.

01:13:42.940 And did she redo it?

01:13:45.180 Yeah.

01:13:45.620 It was three pages.

01:13:47.720 It was okay.

01:13:49.280 Right.

01:13:49.900 But one of the things that to go to hamster.

01:13:55.680 I'm an English teacher.

01:13:57.060 I grew up going to Catholic schools.

01:14:00.480 So it was drilled into me grammar, spelling, all that stuff.

01:14:05.380 When I'm having my annual visitation by the administration, principal comes in one day to observe the class.

01:14:14.400 And afterwards, in our feedback session, he says, why are you wasting your time on grammar and spelling?

01:14:22.740 Jeez.

01:14:24.240 Wow.

01:14:24.940 So those just don't matter anymore?

01:14:26.500 No, the idea was that as long as the student can express themselves and get the ideas across, that's all that really matters.

01:14:36.840 Wow.

01:14:37.120 So we don't waste our time with grammar and spelling.

01:14:40.800 It's amazing because that's really what's happening even with math now, too, where it's like, well, show your work and show that you kind of understood how you could get to the right answer.

01:14:47.680 And that's enough.

01:14:48.600 And that's what's important.

01:14:49.300 I mean, we were a country that destroyed Dan Quayle's life because he misspelled potato once.

01:14:56.380 And now it's like, my God, if we could.

01:14:59.080 And he spelled potato with an E, which was the way potato was spelled predominantly before.

01:15:05.220 Right.

01:15:05.580 Yes, it was.

01:15:06.320 It really kind of can spell it either way.

01:15:10.000 And I was amazed by that clip.

01:15:11.980 If you go back and watch it, no one else in the room has any problem with what's happened.

01:15:16.540 Like, they all are fine with it.

01:15:18.080 And, like, for some reason, because the media decided they didn't like Dan Quayle and they wanted to call him an idiot, they used that to call him an idiot and ruin his life.

01:15:25.720 And it literally destroyed his career.

01:15:27.260 Destroyed his career.

01:15:28.220 One word being misspelled once.

01:15:29.780 Now these guys are out on freaking Twitter every day misspelling, like, they can't even form sentences anymore.

01:15:34.460 Well, that's how I've always spelled it.

01:15:35.520 I'm going to keep doing it that way.

01:15:37.640 Who are you to tell me?

01:15:39.980 Wow.

01:15:41.200 888-727-BECK.

01:15:42.920 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn.

01:15:46.540 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:15:52.400 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:15:54.580 With Pat and Stu this week for Glenn, 888-727-BECK.

01:15:59.880 You know, we never did play the Chris Cuomo babbling at the town hall for gun control last night.

01:16:11.580 And Chris has all the answers.

01:16:13.040 It's pretty amazing, some of the things he had to say.

01:16:17.960 I love it when he gets into that serious voice and it's like, okay, I'm going to tell you things that nobody's ever told you before.

01:16:25.420 And then it's all the same, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

01:16:28.220 I'm being a tough guy by taking the position every other member of the media is currently taking.

01:16:33.060 Am I not brave?

01:16:34.060 Because, yes, everybody's on my side.

01:16:37.080 Guys, we just have to stand up to this NRA.

01:16:39.740 I mean, sure, they can't even keep their own operation going at the moment.

01:16:44.560 Which is amazing, yeah.

01:16:45.540 And it's sad and scary because they are very important.

01:16:48.580 But, I mean, they're having real troubles internally just keeping the doors open with sort of infighting going on right now.

01:16:56.040 And again...

01:16:56.660 But we're still supposed to be...

01:16:57.740 They're still the boogeyman.

01:16:58.820 Oh, yeah, they're the boogeyman, even though they were outspent in the last election by a large amount by anti-gun organizations.

01:17:07.780 Like Everytown, USA.

01:17:08.820 Everytown, USA, and many others, you know, that are supported by people like Michael Bloomberg, who just...

01:17:13.560 By the way, a billionaire.

01:17:14.620 Yeah.

01:17:14.840 A billionaire.

01:17:15.560 So, it's a fascinating thing.

01:17:17.460 Like, this comes up a lot where people are like, well, look, they're folding to the NRA.

01:17:22.400 They're just folding to the NRA.

01:17:23.940 Well, first of all, the NRA has no power in and of itself.

01:17:26.420 The power comes from the members, and they represent millions and millions of individual people who care about the Second Amendment.

01:17:32.820 So, you're not folding to the NRA.

01:17:34.380 If anything, you're folding to the people who are in the NRA, the actual members.

01:17:38.700 Which, that's American citizens.

01:17:40.740 American citizens and voters, right?

01:17:42.580 But they're not...

01:17:43.280 Like, the idea that a few million dollars that the NRA spends, which used to, by the way, go to a lot of Democrats.

01:17:49.560 I mean, there was a time where they had, I think it was 60 or 70 Democrats they gave an A rating to.

01:17:54.760 Now there's like two.

01:17:56.860 Because...

01:17:57.460 Are there two?

01:17:57.960 I'm surprised there's two.

01:17:58.940 Yeah, if there's even two.

01:17:59.860 I mean, I just read the stat, and I want to say there was a couple of them, but I can't tell you their names off the top of my head.

01:18:04.660 But the bottom line is, like, this is a situation where the Democrats have fled the gun rights position.

01:18:12.580 They've abandoned it, just like they've abandoned the pro-life position.

01:18:15.260 There used to be pro...

01:18:16.200 I mean, like, one of the most famous Supreme Court cases in history has the name Casey in it.

01:18:20.740 And then now you have...

01:18:22.080 Because he's a very famous last name in Pennsylvania in Democrat politics.

01:18:27.140 Now, I mean, you can't even find anybody.

01:18:28.900 They're kicking people out for being pro-life.

01:18:30.420 Oh, yeah, you can't.

01:18:31.320 No, I mean, so it is...

01:18:33.260 It's one of those things that's very strange, because politically, forget the Second Amendment.

01:18:39.360 Forget the fact that you should have, you know, the rights that you should have that come from God to protect yourself.

01:18:44.940 Forget all those things for just a second.

01:18:46.560 If you're just looking at politics, why wouldn't you ban assault weapons?

01:18:50.400 Who cares?

01:18:51.560 Like, you've got...

01:18:52.640 Most people don't have a quote-unquote assault weapon, and I know that's not really a term, but, like, I'm using it for the ease of conversation here.

01:19:00.040 Yeah.

01:19:00.600 Why wouldn't you?

01:19:01.840 There's, what, five million of them out there, they say.

01:19:04.440 You know, a lot of them, a lot of people own multiple assault weapons.

01:19:08.660 It would be the easiest thing in the world to say, yeah, background check, sure.

01:19:12.520 And, yeah, assault weapons, sure.

01:19:14.240 And what else do you want?

01:19:15.620 Oh, yeah, sure.

01:19:16.460 Like, it looks like I did something, and it'll help, you know, at the polls.

01:19:21.000 Mm-hmm.

01:19:21.780 These are things that are generally, that poll pretty well.

01:19:25.740 You know, not as much the assault weapon ban, but things like, you know, the background checks and stuff.

01:19:31.640 Or, even though they're kind of misleading, they poll very well.

01:19:34.660 You could be the person out there saying, you know what, I did something.

01:19:37.560 I got that legislation passed.

01:19:39.080 You could brag about how difficult it was.

01:19:40.920 Like, Kirsten Gillibrand, when she said, when people told me that giving health care to 9-11 victims was impossible, I continued to fight for it.

01:19:50.700 Oh, wow.

01:19:51.760 Impossible.

01:19:52.400 Yeah, you remember when everybody was saying that to her?

01:19:54.140 Oh, divisive issue that one is.

01:19:56.560 Whoa! 0.71

01:19:57.360 No one wants to give health care to 9-11 victims.

01:20:00.160 That was just way out there.

01:20:02.240 And how did we get that across the finish line without Kirsten Gillibrand?

01:20:05.400 And, like, you could do all that self-aggrandizing nonsense and say that you did something.

01:20:11.760 The politics of it are easy.

01:20:13.320 The point is that we actually have rights and a constitution, and that's why you fight for them.

01:20:17.880 You fight for them because it's the morally right thing to do.

01:20:21.260 Not to mention, the process makes it impossible for you to do the things you're trying to accomplish.

01:20:27.440 There's a constitution you can't violate it.

01:20:30.680 Shall not infringe is a big, it's a really restrictive wording.

01:20:35.180 Seems like it.

01:20:35.840 They didn't leave it open for interpretation.

01:20:37.540 No.

01:20:38.040 It was certainly in that part.

01:20:39.640 And yet, here's all the, here's the compelling argument from Chris Cuomo last night.

01:20:46.440 I want you to stop saying that this is going to be about the president.

01:20:49.020 No.

01:20:49.160 He's not going to solve this problem.

01:20:50.780 You can argue the reasons why in different ways, but it doesn't matter.

01:20:53.840 He says he's open to making changes, but he has yet to act in a real way.

01:20:58.060 And this really shouldn't be all about him.

01:21:01.440 Agreed.

01:21:01.700 All major movements in this country start with you.

01:21:04.120 Not them.

01:21:04.800 Not the politicians.

01:21:05.780 True.

01:21:06.140 Sure.

01:21:06.540 When they run, they all have plans and ideas and promises, thoughts and prayers, sympathy for those who suffer.

01:21:11.680 Let's rock the prayers again.

01:21:12.400 They just rarely act on it because it really is for you to lead with your voices and your votes.

01:21:19.080 Thank you.

01:21:19.520 And I believe there's reason for help.

01:21:21.280 Okay.

01:21:21.720 For one, we can't continue to be this stupid.

01:21:25.080 It just defies common sense.

01:21:27.200 What?

01:21:27.740 We have a clear consensus among Americans of wanting better and more protection.

01:21:33.040 This is amazing.

01:21:34.260 This is just advocacy.

01:21:34.900 You're in El Paso.

01:21:35.480 All right.

01:21:35.860 He's running an anti-gun charity right here on television.

01:21:38.700 This country rejects hate.

01:21:40.880 And the idea of white nationalists preying on certain part of them.

01:21:43.060 Pause it for just a second.

01:21:43.960 Because there's a lot of countries that openly embrace hate.

01:21:48.520 There's a lot of places where hate is the thing they love the most is hate.

01:21:54.560 I mean, there are.

01:21:55.680 There actually are.

01:21:57.220 I mean, if you go through the Middle East, you can find a lot of people who hate Jews.

01:22:01.320 Right.

01:22:01.700 In polling, it's 70 and 80 and 90 percent.

01:22:04.740 So, there are those societies.

01:22:07.300 It's the ones you're constantly defending, by the way.

01:22:09.820 That's for sure.

01:22:10.600 Those are the ones that when we are critical of the culture in those countries, you say we're hateful.

01:22:16.020 All right.

01:22:16.420 He had more.

01:22:17.180 See if we can get through this.

01:22:18.580 Part of us is unacceptable.

01:22:19.940 And I believe your revulsion will force lawmakers to treat people like them as the terrorists they are.

01:22:27.720 People point to the 94 assault weapons ban as a model.

01:22:30.880 But is it really?

01:22:31.740 No.

01:22:32.140 Barely found political consensus.

01:22:33.940 It didn't do anything.

01:22:34.560 2.16 and 2.14.

01:22:35.900 And to be honest, it really was easily run around by manufacturers.

01:22:39.300 Oh, is that what happened?

01:22:40.100 I would argue we've never really taken this on.

01:22:43.860 And yet, change is obvious.

01:22:44.500 Now they got the ban for a decade and they're saying it doesn't count.

01:22:46.980 What good argument did you hear tonight?

01:22:47.960 It's every socialist argument.

01:22:49.260 Well, we had a socialist government, but it didn't count.

01:22:52.300 That data really shouldn't be shared with relevant agencies.

01:22:55.960 These fears of some mystery database where they'll know what you have.

01:22:59.300 And then when you have to go against the government someday, you'll be unprepared, ill-equipped.

01:23:03.560 It's not even journalism.

01:23:06.480 No.

01:23:07.180 It's not even moderation.

01:23:08.360 He's not moderating this thing.

01:23:09.940 All right.

01:23:10.220 We got enough of him because it's pathetic.

01:23:13.040 This is just a guy saying, like, we are dumb if we don't take the government action that I want.

01:23:19.260 Right?

01:23:19.820 Yes.

01:23:20.300 Because conservatives have a million different things that we think would help the situation.

01:23:23.980 You just don't like any of them.

01:23:25.800 Exactly.

01:23:26.200 Right?

01:23:26.300 Like, you don't like having extra security.

01:23:28.200 You don't like having people getting rid of gun-free zones.

01:23:31.540 You don't like those answers.

01:23:32.700 So you say we're being dumb because we're not adopting your answers.

01:23:36.300 Well, that's just advocacy.

01:23:37.560 We can have a debate about which one of those issues is better than the other, and that's what we've done.

01:23:43.940 Sure, we can all say white nationalism sucks, and we should fight against that.

01:23:47.320 But, of course, you're going to tell us it's a much bigger problem than there's any right to believe that it is.

01:23:51.340 You know, I mean, you have individual actors that have terrible ideologies, but, I mean, you can't.

01:23:57.100 These arguments, they're not even attempting to be fair.

01:24:01.400 Oh, absolutely not.

01:24:02.380 Not even attempting.

01:24:03.220 888-727-BECK.

01:25:06.560 That's MyPillow.com.

01:25:08.160 Remember, promo code BECK.

01:25:10.460 So I came in here on Monday after these shootings and was talking about the motivation behind them

01:25:22.020 because everyone was saying it was white supremacy.

01:25:24.700 It took the time to actually read, you know, the actual document from this murderer.

01:25:29.960 And he does describe white supremacy and he does use the word invasion,

01:25:34.480 which is the entire link basically to Donald Trump.

01:25:37.960 We can blame Donald Trump because he used the word invasion and Donald Trump's used the word invasion.

01:25:42.580 That's their big link.

01:25:44.460 So I came in here and I said, well, the media, what they're not telling you

01:25:47.960 and they're not even linking to the document for you to find out yourself

01:25:50.420 is there's an entire section.

01:25:54.000 It's basically equal parts in the document of white supremacy, anti-immigration sentiment on one hand.

01:26:00.200 And on the other hand, anti-corporate and environmentalist rhetoric.

01:26:07.420 And here we are now, four days later.

01:26:10.320 And I have still yet to see one example of the mainstream media even mentioning that it appears in the document.

01:26:22.380 I'm not saying they have to say it was the overwhelming motivation or even that it was on equal footing.

01:26:27.760 You could even give me an argument if you want and say, well, you know what?

01:26:31.040 I don't think he meant that one.

01:26:32.320 I don't think he meant the environmentalist stuff.

01:26:33.800 We only think he meant this stuff.

01:26:35.220 You can say all of that, but the idea that they would continually blame Donald Trump without even mentioning it is remarkable.

01:26:42.960 I would love if you happen to see any mainstream media source that has mentioned this once, send it to me.

01:26:51.840 Tweet it to me at world of stew.

01:26:53.260 I would, because I, it's very possible I missed one or two, but the overall narrative here has been very clear.

01:26:59.540 It has been Donald Trump, use the word invasion, and that means that he's responsible.

01:27:06.860 But take a step back for a second, because I don't think it's even this, it's much worse than the way I'm describing it.

01:27:12.380 If you want to say Donald Trump is responsible for this shooting, which they are just saying as if it's fact,

01:27:18.340 you have to, you have to complete multiple magic tricks to get to that, right?

01:27:22.580 You have to say that invasion, which is a colorful way of run-of-the-mill conservative border analysis, right?

01:27:34.340 Like, the point is that we're not doing anything, and millions of people keep coming into the country when we're saying,

01:27:40.100 please don't come into the country. 1.00

01:27:41.680 So, like, is that an invasion?

01:27:43.320 You know, it's not the word that I would use, but I mean, it is not, it's a bunch, it's millions of people breaking the law.

01:27:50.500 Now, it's something bad if you care about the law, okay?

01:27:55.900 If you care about rule of law, it's certainly something undesirable.

01:28:00.000 And obviously, for decades, the conservative analysis of the border, and about 15, anytime before 10 or 15 years ago,

01:28:10.780 the democratic version and analysis of the border was the same, which was,

01:28:15.500 we can't just have people flooding over the border and screwing with our economy and committing crimes and doing all these bad things.

01:28:21.280 It was not a controversial issue.

01:28:24.140 So, but to get to Donald Trump inspired this person, you have to say, okay, invasion, invasion, yes.

01:28:31.440 But also, that invasion is a real code word, and that code word is a code word for white supremacy and white nationalism,

01:28:38.100 when there's no evidence that Donald Trump supports white supremacy or white nationalism.

01:28:42.120 There's no evidence of it whatsoever.

01:28:44.000 You can say he's racially insensitive at times.

01:28:46.260 You can say he says things that are bad.

01:28:48.160 You can say that he's not a uniting force in our country, blah, blah, blah.

01:28:53.000 But there's no rational argument to say that he supports white nationalism,

01:28:58.620 because just at a very simple level, he hasn't overtly done it, right?

01:29:02.860 Like, you could say he didn't quickly enough denounce the people in Charlottesville,

01:29:07.100 or he said there's good people on both sides.

01:29:08.780 But he's never overtly said, I believe this is a white country, and we should only have white people in it, right? 0.92

01:29:16.720 There's no evidence of that whatsoever.

01:29:18.160 None.

01:29:18.500 Right?

01:29:19.520 However, in the environmentalist part of this, there is evidence that all of these candidates have said specifically the things he mentions in the manifesto.

01:29:29.500 They are all running a campaign currently based on the things he cites in the document as his motivation for the killings.

01:29:40.140 They all are saying we are a consumer society.

01:29:44.060 They all are saying corporations are hurting our environment.

01:29:46.940 They are all saying that we are at an apocalyptic tipping point with the environment.

01:29:51.540 They are all saying so much plastic waste is in our oceans and ruining our environment.

01:29:56.920 They are all saying we're overdoing it with our resources and over-harvesting those resources.

01:30:04.000 They are actually overtly saying the exact same things with no qualifiers.

01:30:10.020 It's not like with white nationalism where you have to say, well, invasion, what he means is he doesn't want any Hispanics in the country. 0.78

01:30:15.200 What he means is that means that he must mean white nationalism.

01:30:18.640 You don't need any leaps.

01:30:19.940 He's basically quoting the debates that you're seeing on stage.

01:30:22.880 And so if you are going to say with certainty that Donald Trump is responsible, you must say with even more certainty that the Democratic candidates are responsible for this attack.

01:30:34.860 Now, alternatively, you could have a morally defensible position and say that the killer is the one responsible for his killings, that you could also go that direction.

01:30:47.980 But you can't just say that the one half of the manifesto with a bunch of magic tricks and gymnastics to try to mentally bend your way into finding that Donald Trump is responsible.

01:31:00.600 You can't say that just that half is part of it when the Democrats are saying everything word for word from the other half of the document and say they have no responsibility.

01:31:11.000 And not even that, not even mentioned that it occurred in the document.

01:31:15.100 This is the biggest.

01:31:17.000 I have never in my life seen anything like this.

01:31:21.140 The media malpractice, which is completely intentional.

01:31:25.980 I have never seen a worse example of it in my entire life.

01:31:29.640 I've been doing this for 20 years and I've never seen anything like it.

01:31:33.840 They are absolutely denying that half of this document exists.

01:31:37.880 I, I, I, it's blowing my mind that they're at least not mentioning it and dismissing it, but they are not.

01:31:46.460 And they are blaming Donald Trump with certainty when there's, if you want to go down that road, there is more evidence.

01:31:54.160 Again, more evidence that the Democrats are responsible for the El Paso shootings.

01:32:00.440 More evidence.

01:32:01.820 It's just that they're just, just not mentioning it.

01:32:04.280 And, and you know what, no mainstream media lets him get away with it.

01:32:08.280 It's incredible.

01:32:09.360 Yep.

01:32:14.500 Health concerns are a sad part of life.

01:32:17.200 I mean, it seems like there's always something that either hurts or bothers us health wise, right?

01:32:21.780 Well, if that's you, you really need to see what CBD products can do for your health.

01:32:26.600 CBD may offer many of the health benefits of marijuana, but without the high.

01:33:14.400 Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

01:33:30.320 And despite all you just said, Stu, this snowball continues to roll down the hill.

01:33:36.220 And it's gathering momentum and it's really picking up steam and it's getting bigger and stronger every single day.

01:33:43.260 And it's actually rolling over the top of a lot of Republicans because Republicans are just giving up on this and they're caving into it.

01:33:52.080 And so I'm pretty sure they're going to at least get their red flag laws passed. 0.92

01:33:58.040 It really looks like there's going to be a federal red flag law put into place.

01:34:05.080 Which is, I think, a bad thing.

01:34:07.180 I think there are good motivations to it and good arguments for it.

01:34:10.440 I just don't think, A, it's constitutional or B, a good idea.

01:34:13.080 I don't either.

01:34:13.980 I would add, too, that I think, honestly, there's a good chance that they don't get the red flag laws for a very bizarre reason.

01:34:24.660 Which is, the Democrats will oppose them.

01:34:28.000 That is the only thing that will save us.

01:34:30.360 They want to be able to say that the Republicans aren't doing anything.

01:34:33.220 They might push too hard and go too far.

01:34:34.000 Right.

01:34:34.240 They want to say, look, Republicans have these problems.

01:34:36.780 They won't do anything.

01:34:37.640 Yeah.

01:34:37.900 Because if they pass the red flag laws, the Republicans will be able to say, look, we passed this big legislation on red flag laws.

01:34:43.080 They want the argument to be able to say they didn't do anything.

01:34:47.420 So the way that they would accomplish that is to block the passage of the red flag laws on the basis of it's not going far enough.

01:34:55.820 Yeah.

01:34:56.160 And that may very well be the outcome of this, which is better than the outcome of them getting the red flag laws, in my opinion.

01:35:01.500 What they also might get is going a little bit further.

01:35:07.720 A red flag law and, let's say, a limit on magazines.

01:35:11.020 I don't know what kind of capacity is too much, but they're going to come up with some number, whether it's 10 or 8 or 5 or who knows what it is.

01:35:24.160 But, I mean, there are Republicans caving in on the magazine limit as well, which would not surprise me to see them do.

01:35:32.440 No.

01:35:32.940 And even some Republicans are going further, and they're bringing up, like this guy in Ohio, who has also said there should be a ban on rifles, as he calls them, military-style weapons.

01:35:48.460 Yeah.

01:35:48.920 Because they're only created for one purpose.

01:35:50.820 I don't know if you're aware of this.

01:35:53.060 To kill people.

01:35:54.260 Oh, really?

01:35:54.780 Yeah.

01:35:55.140 To kill people.

01:35:55.620 I was not aware of that.

01:35:56.420 That's what they do.

01:35:56.700 That's what they do.

01:35:57.600 I've seen many women say that they're very easy to shoot, and as a defensive weapon, it's one of their preferred choices. 1.00

01:36:04.540 Yeah.

01:36:05.180 Yeah.

01:36:05.760 Women, with AR-15s or AK-47s. 1.00

01:36:08.280 Yeah.

01:36:08.560 Yeah, they love them.

01:36:09.540 It's true.

01:36:10.140 I mean, because it's a very easily fired weapon.

01:36:14.000 It's accurate.

01:36:14.760 I mean, look, the things that make a weapon deadly also make a weapon effective in defense.

01:36:20.620 Like, the Democrats say this all the time.

01:36:22.200 They're like, yeah, what?

01:36:22.700 These weapons, they fire with such precision.

01:36:25.320 You just want bullets flying all over the place? 0.79

01:36:27.080 What the hell is your argument here?

01:36:29.080 Like, I want my bullets to go to the left of wherever I'm shooting.

01:36:32.920 Like, well, they're supposed to hit the thing that you're pointing it at.

01:36:37.100 The point is how you use them, right?

01:36:38.640 When you pull the trigger, do you want the bullet to be delayed, like, 30 seconds?

01:36:44.100 Or how is that supposed to work?

01:36:45.920 It's like saying, oh, these knives, they're so sharp.

01:36:49.400 Why aren't they dulling these knives?

01:36:51.600 Well, I mean, the point is really, like, if someone's stabbing, that's the issue.

01:36:56.320 You want the knife to be sharp so it can cut the food or wherever else you're using it for.

01:37:02.320 Yes, we know people.

01:37:03.660 It's the same thing.

01:37:04.280 It's like, oh, the steering wheel goes exactly where these people want it to go when they're running people over.

01:37:09.420 Do you want it to go to the left of where people want it to go?

01:37:12.140 That's your argument?

01:37:13.960 They're not good arguments, I'll say that.

01:37:15.700 Not at all.

01:37:16.060 Not at all.

01:37:17.220 Still, they might work.

01:37:18.500 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn and joined by Jeffy to chew the fat a little bit, which is also the same title as your podcast.

01:37:29.220 It is.

01:37:29.740 Thank you.

01:37:29.760 Which you can pick up at pretty much anywhere podcasts are available, if I'm not mistaken.

01:37:33.700 Correct.

01:37:34.180 No, you are not mistaken.

01:37:35.220 And all Home Depot locations.

01:37:37.160 Oh, good.

01:37:37.800 Okay.

01:37:38.360 That makes it really handy.

01:37:39.600 You're getting some lumber.

01:37:40.680 Yeah.

01:37:41.040 You know?

01:37:41.500 Oh, and a Jeffy podcast.

01:37:42.940 Yes.

01:37:43.180 Uh-huh.

01:37:43.740 I'm a fan of that.

01:37:45.080 It's in the back left, like, by the toilet.

01:37:47.400 Okay.

01:37:47.920 The, like, industrial toilet.

01:37:49.960 Yeah.

01:37:50.380 That they have.

01:37:50.740 And just to be clear, it's exclusive Home Depot, not Lowe's.

01:37:53.140 No, yeah.

01:37:53.560 You can't go to Lowe's to get Jeffy's podcast, unfortunately.

01:37:58.120 So this story that I have, a couple stories today, before we get, I do want to talk a little

01:38:01.920 bit about the polls because they're exciting news breaking about the Democratic presidential

01:38:06.120 candidate polling.

01:38:07.220 But this is not for you, those two.

01:38:08.860 Okay.

01:38:09.080 Uh, this is people that would love bacon, uh, and I know that you, uh, you know, you

01:38:13.100 might love the smell, but you can't eat it.

01:38:14.580 It's only every other person on the planet other than me, basically.

01:38:18.040 But there's a, uh, bacon intern job being posted.

01:38:21.660 You get $1,000 for one day for just testing bacon.

01:38:25.140 What?

01:38:25.360 Uh, that's a pretty good deal.

01:38:26.660 Uh, there's a burger chain in, uh, California that's saying, hey, uh, post, uh, why you should

01:38:31.400 be our intern on, uh, Instagram, and, uh, we'll pay you $1,000 for a day to test our

01:38:36.140 bacon.

01:38:36.580 Oh, that's incredible.

01:38:37.480 That's a good, that's a good gig.

01:38:38.300 $1,000 and you get to eat bacon?

01:38:40.700 All day?

01:38:41.460 Come on now.

01:38:42.280 What a country this is.

01:38:43.320 Come on now.

01:38:43.720 Come on.

01:38:43.980 So just, uh, you know, post it at Farmer's Boy, Farmer's Boy's Food, uh, on their Instagram.

01:38:48.760 Tell me that's available in China or the former Soviet Union.

01:38:52.580 No.

01:38:53.100 Probably not.

01:38:53.840 Probably not.

01:38:54.580 Not even close.

01:38:55.420 Almost nothing's available in the former Soviet Union as defined by the word former.

01:39:01.760 But you couldn't get it even when it, before it was former.

01:39:04.200 Right.

01:39:04.260 So that's the point.

01:39:05.060 Or, or it's current satellite nations.

01:39:07.740 No, thank you, Pat.

01:39:08.560 Yeah.

01:39:08.880 Thank you.

01:39:09.320 Yeah.

01:39:10.080 Also, can we, uh, can, I know it's getting close to football season and I'm pretty excited.

01:39:15.460 Yes.

01:39:15.780 Preseason tonight.

01:39:17.080 Oh, that's right.

01:39:18.220 Eagles are on tonight.

01:39:19.020 I'm excited.

01:39:19.520 Can we, uh, can we make a common sense decision?

01:39:24.140 Point of personal privilege decision.

01:39:25.880 Go ahead.

01:39:26.120 That we can no longer hear from Colin Kaepernick.

01:39:28.440 Oh, please.

01:39:29.220 Please, please.

01:39:29.780 Oh, I love that.

01:39:31.160 Can we just do that?

01:39:32.140 Point of personal privilege.

01:39:33.260 Thank you.

01:39:33.540 I second it.

01:39:35.080 That's all he has, though.

01:39:36.480 I mean, that is.

01:39:37.000 He just posted his, on his Twitter account yesterday.

01:39:39.360 Again.

01:39:39.900 What?

01:39:40.380 No.

01:39:41.080 He started, started the Twitter feed with denied work for 889 days.

01:39:46.280 Denied weeks, but he.

01:39:47.700 Oh, I can't take it.

01:39:48.540 I can't take it.

01:39:48.960 I can't take this guy.

01:39:50.100 And then it just shows him working out in a gym, and he says, 5 a.m., five days a week

01:39:56.300 for three years, still ready.

01:39:59.480 And then it shows him working out for a minute.

01:40:01.060 Still ready?

01:40:01.680 You weren't ready.

01:40:02.660 You lost your starting job to Blaine Gabbert.

01:40:05.680 Yeah.

01:40:06.460 Which, by the way, hurts me even more than you know.

01:40:10.140 No.

01:40:10.780 Come on.

01:40:11.320 The guy's been offered three jobs since he lost his job to Blaine Gabbert.

01:40:15.680 And I thought we were done.

01:40:16.540 He turned them all down.

01:40:17.940 I thought we were done, too, after the collusion case.

01:40:20.240 Yeah.

01:40:20.600 Good gosh.

01:40:20.820 Right?

01:40:20.980 He settled the collusion case with the NFL.

01:40:22.440 Got $20 million out of him.

01:40:24.520 Some reports were even more than that.

01:40:26.080 And I'm curious.

01:40:26.660 Are you denied work when you're making millions of dollars from Nike?

01:40:30.980 Because I think a lot of people would say, especially people that you're going to whine

01:40:34.200 about when you talk about income inequality, but those people would say, you know what?

01:40:37.460 I think I wouldn't mind having that I stand there, do nothing, and make millions

01:40:40.900 of dollars job that he has with Nike.

01:40:42.740 Yeah.

01:40:43.360 And then if they post something, if they make a product that he doesn't like, they pull it.

01:40:47.060 Yeah.

01:40:47.260 He's like the Nike ombudsman.

01:40:48.800 And somehow he's got that gig, and that's a gig.

01:40:52.220 Yes.

01:40:52.520 He's making a lot of money doing it.

01:40:54.120 And it's just being reported that Conn Kaepernick sends a message to the NFL.

01:40:58.420 Oh, shut up. 0.99

01:40:59.320 And this is the thing that's most frustrating about all of this, is that people are now

01:41:05.080 romanticizing him as if he was a good quarterback.

01:41:08.120 He was not.

01:41:08.460 Right.

01:41:08.940 He lost his job, not because he kneeled.

01:41:11.340 He knelt after he lost his job.

01:41:13.640 He lost his job to Blaine Gabbert because of play, the levels of play being so terrible.

01:41:21.060 Think of what I just said.

01:41:22.600 And this is not something that is controversial.

01:41:26.060 He was bad.

01:41:27.460 He had a couple of good years before, and not even, I mean, they're not even good years

01:41:31.780 when you look back at them.

01:41:32.700 They're okay years.

01:41:33.520 He ran around a lot.

01:41:34.060 He ran around a lot with a league's best defense.

01:41:37.000 And because, you know, he has a lot of athletic ability, which is true, and that's what he's

01:41:41.120 proving when he's working out.

01:41:42.180 Not that he's a good quarterback, but that he can work out.

01:41:44.040 He works out.

01:41:44.580 And he ran around a few times, but he was a very mediocre passer.

01:41:49.060 The year he came back into the league, after the second year, they almost won the Super

01:41:55.560 Bowl.

01:41:55.640 Yeah, they were.

01:41:56.240 They brought it back, and they said, you know what?

01:41:57.580 We think Kaepernick is a star.

01:41:59.460 And so they decided to start throwing it on every play.

01:42:02.100 And you know what happened with that team?

01:42:04.140 Jim Harbaugh is now in Michigan.

01:42:05.460 That's what happened with that team.

01:42:07.260 So it is completely revisionist history to say that Colin Kaepernick belongs in the

01:42:13.680 league for his level of play.

01:42:15.140 He does not.

01:42:16.380 He is not a good quarterback and does not belong in the league because of his ability.

01:42:20.400 Yeah, but I mean, for three years now, he's still ready.

01:42:22.700 Well, good.

01:42:23.420 He works out at 5 a.m. five days a week.

01:42:26.140 Right.

01:42:26.440 Well, you know what?

01:42:26.900 If he cares about football so much, go play in one of the other leagues.

01:42:29.500 He's not doing that.

01:42:31.220 But he's been denied work, Stu, for 889 days.

01:42:35.460 Because he sucks.

01:42:37.800 He could have been the backup in Seattle.

01:42:39.700 He could have been the backup in, I believe, Denver.

01:42:42.160 Could have been the backup in one other place.

01:42:45.720 And was it Miami, maybe?

01:42:47.940 Might have been.

01:42:48.560 I don't remember.

01:42:49.200 He's been offered jobs.

01:42:51.120 I'll tell you this.

01:42:51.660 I've been denied work in the NFL for 15,695 days.

01:42:56.440 No one's given me a gig.

01:42:58.620 Are you still ready?

01:42:59.580 I am still ready.

01:43:00.820 I work out every day by walking to my car, by shoveling food into my mouth.

01:43:05.960 A lot of people think you're beyond your prime.

01:43:07.880 But I think that's a...

01:43:09.840 Oh, no.

01:43:09.960 I think that's a...

01:43:10.760 I mean...

01:43:11.680 Who?

01:43:12.400 I don't want to name names because I don't want to offend Stu.

01:43:16.640 But every NFL team.

01:43:18.180 Right.

01:43:18.920 And again, when it comes down to this ridiculous idea that he's being banned because of his political speech.

01:43:24.760 Shut up. 0.95

01:43:25.400 It's so ridiculous.

01:43:26.260 They love his political speech in the NFL.

01:43:28.180 They promote it like crazy.

01:43:29.220 The biggest sponsor is Nike and they promote it like crazy.

01:43:31.680 But go over to...

01:43:32.540 Malcolm Jenkins is one of the starting safeties for the Philadelphia Eagles.

01:43:35.900 He...

01:43:36.660 Now, he made the mistake, I guess, of doing...

01:43:40.320 Having a little bit of credibility and that he never wore I hate the pigs socks or anything like that.

01:43:46.180 But he has been very much...

01:43:47.940 Like Kaepernick did.

01:43:48.260 Right.

01:43:48.480 Like Kaepernick did.

01:43:49.480 But he's been very much on the side talking about violence when it comes to police officers

01:43:55.900 and points that I do not agree with at all.

01:43:58.440 But he's a starting safety for the Eagles.

01:44:00.180 You know why he keeps his employment?

01:44:02.160 Because he's good.

01:44:03.520 He's a good player.

01:44:05.160 He makes plays defensively that other players can't make.

01:44:09.000 So he continues to hold on to his job.

01:44:11.200 With Colin Kaepernick, he sucks.

01:44:13.560 So he doesn't have a job.

01:44:14.740 That is...

01:44:15.580 It is black and white.

01:44:17.060 I know.

01:44:17.260 Is it theoretically possible that Colin Kaepernick could currently hold a third string quarterback job in the NFL without the activism?

01:44:25.520 Maybe.

01:44:26.760 I mean, Eric Reid also kneeled and he had his job for multiple years afterwards.

01:44:30.980 And then as soon as he lost his job, he also started complaining about that's why he lost his job.

01:44:35.000 And he was part of the collusion deal.

01:44:36.700 Of course.

01:44:37.420 With Kaepernick.

01:44:37.980 And won that deal.

01:44:39.420 And then he got re-signed.

01:44:40.580 And then he got re-signed.

01:44:41.780 For another, I think, two or three year deal.

01:44:43.580 That's really bad.

01:44:44.400 You're really bad at colluding.

01:44:45.880 Yes.

01:44:46.300 They're terrible at it.

01:44:47.420 When you give somebody money for it and then they get a job.

01:44:51.300 Yeah.

01:44:51.760 What the heck is that?

01:44:52.620 I mean, that's the point.

01:44:54.320 That's wrong.

01:44:54.980 It's just wrong.

01:44:56.260 When you're a really good player and you belong in the NFL, they're going to keep you in the NFL.

01:45:01.700 Yeah, they are.

01:45:01.980 Because they want to make lots of money.

01:45:03.380 Yes.

01:45:03.560 And you know what?

01:45:03.900 They might even want to make lots of money so they can donate it all to Donald Trump because they're evil.

01:45:07.320 Whatever your freaking view of the world is, you can still apply it to the fact that Colin Kaepernick sucks.

01:45:15.940 That's just a fact.

01:45:17.040 I love the fact that he's turned down jobs and continues to say that they won't give him a job.

01:45:25.800 And he won a massive lawsuit for it.

01:45:27.520 All kinds of money.

01:45:28.260 But it wasn't true.

01:45:29.740 And there's all kinds of reports where he doesn't want to take the third string, right?

01:45:36.020 Yes, he will not be back up.

01:45:37.720 And look, if you're an NFL team, the only thing that I could say that the NFL teams are thinking about is, do you want a third string quarterback that's going to take up all the news for your team?

01:45:49.540 Yeah.

01:45:49.760 No, you don't.

01:45:51.140 The third string quarterback is supposed to be over there.

01:45:52.960 You know who learned that really well?

01:45:53.980 Tim Tebow.

01:45:55.020 The same thing.

01:45:56.520 Right.

01:45:57.160 Tim Tebow has a good record in the NFL.

01:46:00.720 He's won a playoff game.

01:46:01.960 Everything about Tim Tebow says you should keep him around because, you know what, he can make plays, he can do different things.

01:46:10.600 Nobody wants that hassle, that distraction.

01:46:11.760 Nobody wants the hassle when he's talking about a second and third string quarterback.

01:46:14.740 Right.

01:46:15.640 There's a part of it that's true at that level.

01:46:18.800 Like, why bother bringing him to camp?

01:46:20.420 Because the whole camp is going to be about Tim Tebow or about Colin Kaepernick.

01:46:24.800 But if you had enough ability, look, Tim Tebow is a great athlete and one of the best college football players in history.

01:46:30.880 But is he a big-time NFL quarterback?

01:46:34.020 The answer to that is probably no.

01:46:35.700 If he was, he'd be in the NFL.

01:46:37.680 You know, he really would.

01:46:39.200 And a lot of these teams don't want that hassle.

01:46:42.700 The same thing, even though Tebow, I would argue, is really, there's no reason to not want that hassle.

01:46:48.620 But he dominates the coverage.

01:46:50.460 He makes you, you're constantly in front of the press answering questions about your third string quarterback.

01:46:56.080 They don't want that distraction.

01:46:56.920 And it's just a pain.

01:46:57.760 Yeah.

01:46:58.000 It's not your focus.

01:46:58.760 So he loses, does he lose a job?

01:47:02.240 I mean, maybe he loses a job at the fringe of the NFL.

01:47:04.500 But if you are a person who is good enough to be a starting quarterback, certainly this is not an issue.

01:47:10.780 If he played like Patrick Mahomes, let's face it, he'd be a starter in the NFL.

01:47:14.520 Or Ryan Fitzpatrick.

01:47:15.800 Yes.

01:47:16.160 If he played like a mediocre quarterback, he would be in the NFL.

01:47:19.640 Instead, he played like a bad quarterback.

01:47:21.340 And he has the hassle.

01:47:22.560 So why would you bother with that?

01:47:24.040 I don't know how many days Tim Tebow has been denied work.

01:47:26.020 But I do know that Kaepernick has been denied it in 89 days.

01:47:28.980 It's more than that.

01:47:32.160 A lot more.

01:47:34.120 I just know that we also, we talked a little bit about it on Pat Unleashed yesterday that, you know, the planet Earth is dying.

01:47:42.600 Oh, it is?

01:47:43.000 And it's going to be over like in...

01:47:45.020 Well, either 10 or 12 years, we know that much, right?

01:47:48.780 It could be five now.

01:47:50.980 I don't know.

01:47:51.440 I don't know how long it's going to take.

01:47:52.700 But we have found a potentially habitable super Earth.

01:47:55.900 Yeah, this is good.

01:47:56.800 Oh, cool.

01:47:57.200 Because we're going to have to leave and go there pretty quick.

01:47:59.200 So the planet, we might want to work on a new name.

01:48:01.400 It's called GJ357D.

01:48:04.540 Yeah, it's not exactly catchy.

01:48:05.780 No.

01:48:06.040 We'll need something else.

01:48:06.960 We do have to come up with a new name.

01:48:07.880 Do we also need, I don't know, light speed technology?

01:48:10.920 Well, that's silly because it's six times larger than the Earth.

01:48:13.680 Yeah.

01:48:13.880 It orbits a dwarf sun.

01:48:15.260 Right.

01:48:15.520 And it orbits, we'd be a lot older because it orbits every 55, almost 56 days.

01:48:20.440 So we would be a lot older.

01:48:21.860 But it is, Pat, you're right.

01:48:22.920 We're going to have to find a different mode of transportation.

01:48:26.280 I mean, it's right around the corner.

01:48:27.600 Just 31 light years away.

01:48:29.360 So at the speed of light, it'll take you 31 years to get there.

01:48:32.660 No problem.

01:48:33.740 No problem.

01:48:34.460 We're there.

01:48:34.580 We could really use some warp speed technology, actually.

01:48:37.660 Desperately.

01:48:38.000 Yeah.

01:48:38.600 Desperately.

01:48:39.360 Maybe something at Area 51 has that technology.

01:48:42.280 Maybe.

01:48:43.060 Maybe.

01:48:43.420 I don't know.

01:48:43.720 But I'm looking forward to it.

01:48:45.120 And they're also saying that it's either, if it has a thick atmosphere, it could be too

01:48:50.420 cold, like negative 60 or 70 degrees.

01:48:53.580 Or if it doesn't, it could be too hot.

01:48:55.880 You know, it'd be burning up with hundreds of degrees.

01:48:58.040 Or it might have just the right amount of atmosphere.

01:48:59.760 Or it might have just the right amount.

01:49:01.260 Because it is in the Goldilocks zone where it could be not too hot and not too cold.

01:49:05.940 I mean, I found this fascinating.

01:49:07.500 I mean, that NASA's space telescope, the Kepler, has observed 300,000 stars more and found

01:49:14.700 more than 4,000 exoplanet candidates since 2009.

01:49:18.660 So we have a shot to get off the Earth.

01:49:20.440 We have a shot.

01:49:21.180 That most, some of them are less than 31 light years away.

01:49:24.480 Oh, wow.

01:49:25.000 I mean.

01:49:25.580 Really?

01:49:25.900 So, yeah.

01:49:26.560 That's great.

01:49:27.080 I mean, some of them are, you know.

01:49:29.280 Literally in our neighborhood.

01:49:31.760 Right next door.

01:49:32.640 Right next door.

01:49:33.760 And this is sad news.

01:49:35.560 And I, I, no, I'm going to bring it to you anyway.

01:49:39.080 Celebrities are being cheated into buying fake diamonds.

01:49:41.920 And you might be.

01:49:42.560 Don't say that.

01:49:43.120 Oh, don't say that.

01:49:44.060 I worry about celebrities.

01:49:45.260 You might have this problem too.

01:49:46.400 Because you're buying diamonds that are fake.

01:49:48.580 Well, they're not fake.

01:49:49.560 They're just lab grown here in the United States.

01:49:51.860 This is pretty fascinating.

01:49:53.560 Because they're growing them and instead of mining them.

01:49:56.300 But they're the exact same thing.

01:49:57.900 Correct.

01:49:58.040 So is that bad?

01:49:58.960 Well, I guess not.

01:50:00.540 I don't know.

01:50:01.080 Right?

01:50:01.300 I mean, they're lab grown.

01:50:02.600 Using this chemical reaction is how they make them.

01:50:05.520 I know they tried to take a hit at Leonardo DiCaprio for giving misleading information about it.

01:50:13.020 Because he's invested in this company.

01:50:14.520 Right.

01:50:14.840 That makes the diamonds.

01:50:15.760 And, you know, by the way, he also gave a misleading gem to a woman on a ship.

01:50:20.720 Who then tossed it into the ocean because it was so fake.

01:50:23.780 I didn't want to bring up that documentary.

01:50:25.220 Wow.

01:50:25.580 Yeah.

01:50:25.820 That documentary was powerful.

01:50:27.100 Wow.

01:50:27.440 But his words are, look, his words, he says that he's proud to invest in this company

01:50:32.380 and that these are to be cultivating real diamonds in America without the human and environmental

01:50:39.040 toll of mining.

01:50:40.720 That's not.

01:50:41.720 I mean, it's essentially the same thing, the impossible burger argument.

01:50:46.000 Right?

01:50:46.200 Like, it's pretty much the same stuff chemically.

01:50:48.740 Right?

01:50:48.940 Like, it tastes the same.

01:50:50.180 Which I want to talk about.

01:50:51.040 And you don't have to kill any animals.

01:50:51.320 Coming up here in just a second, we'll finish up in just a minute or two here.

01:50:56.380 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:50:59.080 Pat and Stu.

01:51:00.020 For Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

01:51:01.340 Also, Jeffy joins us.

01:51:03.600 Hmm.

01:51:04.760 New Iowa poll out.

01:51:06.340 Pat, would you like the results of this?

01:51:07.660 Because the debates have moved.

01:51:09.100 I would love.

01:51:09.640 They've moved things in Iowa quite a bit.

01:51:11.700 Have they?

01:51:12.240 Mm-hmm.

01:51:12.980 Oh, everybody who had a really good performance like Cory Booker.

01:51:16.440 Cory Booker was huge, right?

01:51:17.500 Yeah.

01:51:17.680 Everyone told us.

01:51:18.700 Skyrocketing.

01:51:19.140 Oh, he is.

01:51:19.900 He's moved quite a bit.

01:51:21.460 In fact, he's moved by 67%.

01:51:24.880 Wow.

01:51:25.360 Holy cow. 0.89

01:51:26.240 He's gone from 3% to 1%.

01:51:28.140 So he actually went down.

01:51:31.120 That's true.

01:51:31.640 I love that.

01:51:32.460 Good.

01:51:33.180 Good.

01:51:34.200 So these are all the people that showed up at more than 0%.

01:51:37.340 Okay?

01:51:38.120 Okay.

01:51:38.380 John Hickenlooper, Tulsi Gabbard, John Delaney, Steve Bullock, and Cory Booker all at 1%.

01:51:44.220 Hmm.

01:51:45.040 Wow.

01:51:45.580 Andrew Yang and Kirsten Gillibrand at 2%.

01:51:48.520 It's a nice poll for Gillibrand.

01:51:49.680 She doesn't normally hit 2%. 0.99

01:51:51.220 Here's an interesting one.

01:51:52.540 And if you look at my candidate rankings that came out right before the debates, I had him

01:51:57.260 in the middle of the pack where nobody had him.

01:51:59.600 But Tom Steyer shows up at 3%.

01:52:02.640 Wow.

01:52:03.280 Does he really?

01:52:04.140 My little model that I've built likes Tom Steyer's potential because of all the money

01:52:09.280 and the idea that you could hire a lot of really good campaign people.

01:52:12.820 And he has not shown it yet, but this is the first time he's showing up at anywhere near

01:52:16.200 3%.

01:52:16.700 So it does seem like he's doing something.

01:52:19.160 Has he qualified for the next debate?

01:52:21.240 Not yet.

01:52:21.780 But I think he has a good chance of getting there.

01:52:25.200 Buttigieg is at 8%.

01:52:27.060 Wow.

01:52:28.560 I'll give you Kamala Harris at 11% and Joe Biden at 28%.

01:52:31.760 Pretty much stable.

01:52:32.480 Well, Harris was actually up from 7% to 11%.

01:52:34.760 Biden from 27% to 28%.

01:52:36.440 Here's the two big things, though.

01:52:38.780 About two-thirds of the, a little bit over half of the supporters for Sanders and Warren

01:52:43.660 flipped.

01:52:44.620 So Sanders went from 16% to 9%.

01:52:47.540 Warren went from 7% to 19%.

01:52:50.120 Wow.

01:52:50.820 So people are choosing between Warren and Sanders.

01:52:53.280 7% to 19%?

01:52:54.580 Yeah.

01:52:54.900 Warren now second place behind Biden at 28% in Iowa.

01:52:58.180 That's good.

01:52:58.440 They're going after the female communist. 0.99

01:53:00.000 Wow.

01:53:00.440 If you're going to pick a communist, she's the better one, probably. 1.00

01:53:04.420 Yeah, probably.

01:53:04.860 Although she is, I mean, how she could beat Donald Trump is beyond me.

01:53:09.500 Lab grown to lose to Donald Trump.

01:53:15.320 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:53:17.740 Thank you.

01:53:18.020 Thank you.

01:53:18.880 Thank you.

01:53:19.440 Thank you.

01:53:28.020 Thank you.

01:53:35.520 Thank you.

01:53:36.200 Thank you.

01:53:36.600 Thank you.

01:53:36.700 You're listening to Glenn Beck.
