The Glenn Beck Program - Pounds By the Second？｜ Guests： Blake J. Harris & Brad Polumbo

00:00:00.000 But I am concerned about home title fraud, and that's our sponsor here.

00:00:02.620 Glenn, of course, Home Title Lock.

00:00:03.760 Sure.

00:00:04.480 We talked about the Manhattan District Attorney's Office.

00:00:07.400 It had 2,000 complaints just in Manhattan on home.

00:00:11.240 Can you not get dressed in front of the camera?

00:00:13.960 I don't even understand.

00:00:15.380 Is this your first day?

00:00:18.600 Criminals, of course, look for these deeds to steal.

00:00:23.920 And just 2,000 in Manhattan, that's just one place.

00:00:26.260 I mean, can you imagine how many there are around the country?

00:00:28.080 It's one of the fastest growing crimes in America.

00:02:09.940 Gosh, what is this?

00:02:11.880 What is this?

00:02:17.360 Brookers.

00:02:19.240 I love Brookers.

00:02:20.740 Right?

00:02:21.380 Yeah, we're going to get to that.

00:02:22.900 Hang on just a second.

00:02:23.960 I want to get to.

00:02:24.680 There's a couple of things.

00:02:25.680 On today's show, I am going to prove that we never went to the moon.

00:02:31.720 You've got some evidence.

00:02:33.100 I do have evidence.

00:02:34.520 I was surprised about.

00:02:35.660 Okay, so I'm going to prove we never went to the moon, and NASA is still lying to us.

00:02:40.740 You saw that picture of the black hole?

00:02:43.560 Yes, I have.

00:02:44.480 I have a theory.

00:02:45.520 That is a glazed donut on a piece of black velvet, and he hit the lighting right, and

00:02:52.160 you just knock the camera out of focus, and that's a glazed donut.

00:02:56.380 That is not a black hole.

00:02:57.920 Oh, first picture of a black hole.

00:02:59.480 No, it's not.

00:03:00.140 It's a donut hole, and I can prove it, and we will do side by side.

00:03:04.840 To be clear, it is not a donut hole, which is something else you would buy, also known

00:03:09.580 as a munchkin, which is hateful, I believe, by Dunkin' Donuts.

00:03:12.800 Right.

00:03:13.020 But no, yeah, it's not a donut hole.

00:03:14.920 It's an actual donut with a hole in it that you believe represents what the black hole

00:03:19.160 picture is.

00:03:20.460 I'm telling you, NASA says, oh, look, we took a picture of the black hole.

00:03:24.160 No, you didn't.

00:03:24.760 You put a donut, a glazed donut, on a piece of velvet, and knocked the camera out of focus,

00:03:32.940 and that's what you're saying is a black hole, and I will prove it on today's program.

00:03:36.720 Now, before you do what you're about to do, because we're going to talk about Bernie Sanders'

00:03:41.980 Medicare for All thing, and so let's start it with something that's going to make us need

00:03:45.720 Medicare, at least for us.

00:03:48.660 We have, first of all, donut talk.

00:03:51.140 Second of all, we have tons and tons of ice cream to taste today during the show.

00:03:55.080 This is the greatest day of my life.

00:03:56.140 This is why, I mean, I don't know why we're doing anything else.

00:04:00.660 Forget Bernie Sanders.

00:04:01.640 He's a socialist, whatever.

00:04:02.920 I mean, whatever.

00:04:03.860 We got a socialist president.

00:04:05.020 We're all going to die someday.

00:04:06.660 No, we have Brooker's Founding Flavors, which you talked about a couple weeks ago.

00:04:10.160 Okay, these are people who started their own ice cream store, and I am not kidding you.

00:04:16.220 I've only had a couple of their flavors when I was out by their store, and they came and

00:04:21.120 they brought some ice cream a couple of weeks to me, a couple of weeks ago, and I said to

00:04:25.340 my wife, I want a franchise.

00:04:27.580 You actually came back legitimately pitching for a franchise.

00:04:30.900 You wanted to really do it.

00:04:31.600 I really want a franchise.

00:04:32.940 I want a part of this, because I could die happy.

00:04:36.340 I could retire and go work at an ice cream store.

00:04:39.420 It'd be the greatest thing of my life, and it's got the Founding Fathers stuff in it.

00:04:44.280 This is me.

00:04:45.300 I'm all in.

00:04:47.440 I wasn't necessarily all in until I've...

00:04:50.160 I mean, I like the idea of an ice cream store, but this is, what is it, 18% butterfat?

00:04:56.180 That is, I believe, what they said, yes.

00:04:57.960 So now the best ice cream I've ever had is Bluebell here in Texas, and people will talk

00:05:03.480 about Bluebell.

00:05:04.200 If you've ever been to Texas and you've had Bluebell, you talk about it, and everybody's

00:05:07.440 like, it is the best, and you don't think it could get better once you've had it, and

00:05:13.980 that is 14% butter?

00:05:16.400 13.

00:05:16.560 13.

00:05:17.120 13.

00:05:18.040 And Bluebell does not even hit the 14%, which is the level for super premium, I think it

00:05:23.200 is, or mega premium, or exotic premium.

00:05:26.460 So there's some level of ice cream where you get there, because...

00:05:30.760 It's like the ice cream of kings is 14%.

00:05:33.460 Bluebell's good ice cream.

00:05:34.640 But Bluebell's ice cream you go and you get in a half gallon at a grocery store.

00:05:38.460 Like, it's really good ice cream.

00:05:39.880 You know, there's a level of, like, craft ice cream that is available now, if you don't

00:05:44.540 mind spending $12 a pint for it.

00:05:46.620 Yeah, not craft with a K.

00:05:48.300 No, not craft with a K.

00:05:49.380 That's right.

00:05:49.880 It's like craft beer, right?

00:05:51.120 Like, now there's millions of these crazy varieties.

00:05:54.900 Now, this one is not one of them, because a lot of these are mail order, and I've actually

00:05:58.200 ordered some of these before, and it's insane.

00:06:00.420 It's like, you know, triple the calories per serving.

00:06:03.240 Have you had any of this yet?

00:06:04.360 I haven't had any of it.

00:06:04.820 I'm so excited.

00:06:05.640 So, we have two flavors to start off, okay?

00:06:07.820 Okay.

00:06:08.680 We've paired the Addams together.

00:06:10.740 There's Abigail Addams' Salted Crack Cookie Advice, and Samuel Addams' Father of the Cookies

00:06:16.380 and Cream Revolution.

00:06:17.460 Okay.

00:06:18.160 Which one is the...

00:06:19.400 Which one's the white one, and which one's kind of...

00:06:21.240 I mean, is that really a question from someone...

00:06:22.320 If someone knows ice cream, they know cookies and cream is obviously the one with Oreos in

00:06:25.340 it.

00:06:26.080 I know it's...

00:06:26.100 I can't tell which is...

00:06:27.480 What do you...

00:06:27.860 Oreo...

00:06:28.420 Okay, okay, okay.

00:06:29.300 I see it.

00:06:30.140 All right.

00:06:30.460 I see it.

00:06:31.260 One's caramel...

00:06:32.100 Oh, jeez.

00:06:32.880 All right, let's try it.

00:06:33.840 Oh, my gosh.

00:06:34.300 This is so good.

00:06:37.660 Which one are you trying?

00:06:39.080 The cookies and cream one.

00:06:40.320 I'm trying the other one.

00:06:41.660 Oh, my gosh.

00:06:42.320 Oh, my God.

00:06:42.980 Try the other one.

00:06:44.700 Okay.

00:06:45.140 The one with this has caramel in it and chocolate.

00:06:47.020 I'm a big caramel guy, too.

00:06:48.180 And notice the ice cream.

00:06:49.760 It is like...

00:06:53.680 It's...

00:06:54.280 This sounds gross, but imagine the creaminess.

00:06:58.480 It's almost like eating a stick of butter.

00:07:01.300 Not in a gross way.

00:07:04.240 It doesn't taste like that.

00:07:05.000 It doesn't taste like that.

00:07:06.240 It's just so creamy.

00:07:08.240 Oh, my gosh.

00:07:08.820 Yeah.

00:07:09.460 That's over the top.

00:07:10.580 Oh, my gosh.

00:07:11.280 It, like, sticks to your tongue.

00:07:12.780 This is the best ice cream I've ever had.

00:07:15.760 It, like, sticks to your tongue.

00:07:18.320 Oh, my gosh.

00:07:18.820 This is so creamy.

00:07:19.160 This is good.

00:07:20.260 And, like, this is why...

00:07:22.000 And we've talked about this a million times.

00:07:23.500 Oh, my gosh.

00:07:24.220 This is good.

00:07:24.860 This is why...

00:07:25.780 I haven't even had the cookies and cream one.

00:07:27.320 This is why our country was founded.

00:07:29.540 This is why our listeners are so great.

00:07:31.660 Well, yeah.

00:07:32.120 Listeners, whatever.

00:07:33.520 What I'm talking about is this nation was founded to create things like this.

00:07:37.960 You think they have this in North Korea?

00:07:40.660 No.

00:07:40.960 There's no ice cream that tastes like this in Cuba.

00:07:43.620 There's no fat in North Korea except on one guy.

00:07:50.020 This is...

00:07:50.820 This is...

00:07:52.540 Unbelievable.

00:07:53.880 Oh, really good.

00:07:56.080 Those are two.

00:07:56.700 And, like, we kind of started off with...

00:07:58.520 I mean, these are two flavors that look really good.

00:08:01.360 These are not...

00:08:01.940 We have a whole menu of flavors tonight to taste test.

00:08:04.360 This is not the one I would pick.

00:08:06.040 I don't think I would pick either one of these.

00:08:07.060 I do like cookies and cream.

00:08:07.900 I like cookies and cream.

00:08:08.800 I would not have picked the other one.

00:08:10.940 Is that the Abigail?

00:08:11.980 Yeah.

00:08:12.220 And that is...

00:08:13.480 I haven't even tried the cookies and cream.

00:08:14.980 That is unbelievable.

00:08:17.000 So, two flavors.

00:08:19.840 This is Brooker's.

00:08:20.980 Yes.

00:08:21.400 Brooker's founding flavors.

00:08:22.820 Mm-hmm.

00:08:24.000 You have the Abigail Adams one, which is smoked salted caramel ice cream with cracked cookie chunks.

00:08:29.280 And then the Samuel Adams, which is cookies and cream ice cream, chunks of chocolate sandwich cookies.

00:08:33.220 It is my goal today to do two things.

00:08:36.800 Blake Harris.

00:08:37.520 His book was 33,336 or 32, two days ago.

00:08:45.400 Yeah.

00:08:46.040 It had been out for a month.

00:08:47.380 Nobody had read it.

00:08:48.280 This guy is a liberal journalist who found out the truth about what was going on because of Donald Trump and the way the press was treating the supporter of Donald Trump.

00:09:00.840 And it's a huge story.

00:09:02.980 No one would cover it.

00:09:05.020 No one.

00:09:05.560 And this guy is a great writer.

00:09:07.860 Last night, I got a note that his book is up to number four.

00:09:10.800 Oh, really?

00:09:11.440 Yeah.

00:09:11.680 So, it's number four.

00:09:12.720 From 33,000 to number four because of this audience.

00:09:16.180 Wow.

00:09:16.280 He has no other interviews.

00:09:18.440 It's my goal to make that book number one.

00:09:21.220 And it is also my goal for everyone to gain at least three pounds with Brooker's, what is it, founding flavors?

00:09:31.640 Yes.

00:09:31.980 I've had three spoonfuls, so I already have gained the three pounds.

00:09:36.980 That's what it feels like, at least.

00:09:38.400 It is really good.

00:09:39.900 Oh, my gosh.

00:09:40.420 Just cookies and cream is, I've never tasted anything like that.

00:09:46.060 It is really good.

00:09:46.960 Really good.

00:09:48.080 Oh, my gosh.

00:09:49.560 This is good.

00:09:50.380 By the way, yes, we're eating ice cream at this time of day.

00:09:53.760 Yes, but we're looking at my retirement.

00:09:55.700 I'm going to buy a franchise.

00:09:57.940 When they start to franchise, they don't franchise yet.

00:10:00.200 When they start to franchise, this, you know what?

00:10:03.280 This makes Cold Stone Creamery look like, I don't know, Dairy Queen.

00:10:09.400 This is always the Glenn way.

00:10:10.680 He cannot give a compliment without insulting somebody else.

00:10:14.120 I've had to deal with this for 20 years.

00:10:17.460 20 years of this.

00:10:18.480 But it's been a sweet, ice cream-filled 20 years, has it not?

00:10:22.280 I will say I've had more ice cream at work than I would have expected getting into this business.

00:10:26.660 So thank you for that.

00:10:28.960 Should we take a quick one-minute break and then talk about the Bernie Sanders thing?

00:10:32.580 Because there are differences in this Bernie Sanders Medicare for All thing from all the other pitches that you are not going to believe.

00:10:39.080 This is worse than the NHS in England.

00:10:42.820 It is Venezuelan health care.

00:10:46.280 It really is.

00:10:47.260 It will blow your mind how far we have come.

00:10:51.760 From Obamacare, where you can keep your doctors.

00:10:54.940 Oh, remember that.

00:10:55.840 You will not keep your health care.

00:10:57.860 You will not keep your doctor.

00:10:59.540 No matter what.

00:11:00.640 Nope.

00:11:00.920 And this is a terrifying plan to be proposed in America.

00:11:05.680 In fact, this plan is so radical, it would not even fly in Canada.

00:11:11.400 This is way beyond Canada.

00:11:13.680 Unconstitutional in Canada.

00:11:16.660 In Canada.

00:11:17.440 This is really Cuban or Venezuelan health care.

00:11:20.700 We'll get to that in a second.

00:11:22.080 First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

00:11:24.500 It's ExChair.

00:11:25.160 ExChair is great because you could eat ice cream all day and it will not collapse under your weight.

00:11:34.060 It won't do it.

00:11:34.940 It won't do it.

00:11:35.360 We have 10 flavors.

00:11:37.280 Does ExChair guarantee its structural integrity?

00:11:40.820 No, but we're going to put both of them to the test.

00:11:43.180 We're going to disprove the black hole picture and prove that ExChair can withstand the weight of this program eating ice cream.

00:11:52.680 ExChair Basic.

00:11:53.460 You can get it now.

00:11:54.500 ExChairs comes with 30-day, no questions asked, guarantee of complete satisfaction and free shipping.

00:11:59.500 It's a little like this Brooker's ice cream that you have to kind of sit in it.

00:12:05.380 You have to, well, oh my gosh, sitting in ice cream.

00:12:09.820 Next time we do this, I need a bathtub.

00:12:12.060 Anyway, you're going to have to sit in the chair before you understand how great it is.

00:12:19.040 And you will see.

00:12:20.420 It's more of like a lazy boy than anything else.

00:12:23.180 I mean, it's a good office chair and you'll stay awake and stuff.

00:12:25.420 But if you want to kick back, you're dead asleep.

00:12:28.240 I'm telling you an hour and a half into this show with this much ice cream, I'm dead asleep.

00:12:32.500 ExChair.

00:12:45.520 I mean, are you just going to say...

00:13:03.820 It's the ice cream of kings, I'm telling you.

00:13:05.940 Okay.

00:13:06.460 So let's talk a little bit about Bernie Sanders.

00:13:08.500 And there's several layers of health care.

00:13:12.280 And so forget about the free market thing.

00:13:15.340 Oh, dead.

00:13:15.800 Dead.

00:13:16.340 Dead.

00:13:16.780 We start at Obamacare as it was passed.

00:13:19.960 Yeah, the five layers of crazy here when it comes to socialist medicine.

00:13:23.060 So you start off with Obamacare as it was passed.

00:13:24.740 We all know that system, right?

00:13:26.500 There's a marketplace.

00:13:28.840 If you don't have health insurance, you're, of course, forced to buy it.

00:13:31.820 And by the way, you're still forced to buy it.

00:13:33.600 The individual mandate did not go away.

00:13:35.280 They just zeroed out the penalty.

00:13:36.960 Right.

00:13:37.160 So you are technically in violation of the law.

00:13:39.600 Just your penalty is zero dollars.

00:13:41.600 So there's a marketplace set up.

00:13:43.960 They've got the gold and the silver and the bronze plans.

00:13:46.960 And you go and you choose your wonderful Obamacare.

00:13:49.680 We all know how crappy that is.

00:13:51.620 And we know it kind of clearly because, you know, 18 of 18 candidates are saying we need

00:13:57.460 to change this thing as fast as possible on the Democratic side.

00:14:00.860 Right.

00:14:00.980 It's not Republicans saying, I mean, sure, they're saying it too.

00:14:03.300 We need to get rid of Obamacare and come up with something else.

00:14:05.580 But the Democrats are also saying we need to get rid of Obamacare and come up with something.

00:14:09.360 And here's what's saddened our country today.

00:14:10.840 This is America.

00:14:11.880 And no one, no one is saying let the free market work.

00:14:19.080 This is the country that changed health care.

00:14:22.840 Let the free market work.

00:14:24.820 No, no, no, no, no.

00:14:26.500 It's not possible.

00:14:27.460 It is sort of a rare point of view.

00:14:28.900 Yes.

00:14:29.100 So we know what that is.

00:14:29.980 Now we go up an extra level to the next level of crazy, the second level of crazy in health

00:14:35.320 care.

00:14:36.020 And this is the Obamacare that Barack Obama ran on in 2008.

00:14:42.500 So this is, if you remember, there was a big battle between Hillary and Barack Obama in

00:14:46.700 2007 and 2008 on what the program was going to be.

00:14:49.560 Barack's solution was no individual mandate.

00:14:51.700 As he most famously said, if an individual mandate will work for health care, why don't

00:14:56.660 we just mandate that homeless people buy homes?

00:14:58.980 Then we'll get rid of homelessness, which is a really good point, except he completely

00:15:03.500 abandoned it as soon as he got in office.

00:15:05.520 So you have this situation where Obamacare with all your markets and your little marketplace

00:15:11.260 and everyone can go buy their health care.

00:15:12.660 And then one of the options there is a public option provided by the government.

00:15:17.980 It's one of your slew of choices as you go into this marketplace and you'll just see

00:15:22.480 that one pop up and you can take that one.

00:15:24.420 Okay.

00:15:24.780 That was Obama's idea.

00:15:26.160 He could not get that through on Obamacare.

00:15:28.300 So that is not part of the law now.

00:15:30.380 So let's go to the third level of crazy when it comes to socialist medicine.

00:15:34.160 You have this thing called Medicare for those who want it.

00:15:37.720 We're getting into the Medicare for all now.

00:15:39.500 And the now conservative approach from Democrats is something basically called Medicare for those

00:15:47.240 who want it.

00:15:48.280 So you could opt out of the whole system of Obamacare and your own private insurance.

00:15:53.460 However, those things would still exist if you theoretically you could keep them if everything

00:15:58.160 worked out for you and they didn't change the law on you.

00:16:00.560 But in the marketplace, there'd be those marketplace choices or you could just opt out of the whole

00:16:04.540 thing and you just be like, you know what?

00:16:05.820 I'm just in Medicare.

00:16:06.680 So just so you remember, this is really what conservatives said.

00:16:13.000 Why don't you just do this?

00:16:15.360 Why don't you just do this?

00:16:16.460 If you want, if we're going to have to put more people on government health care, why

00:16:22.340 not just expand Medicare for those people who really, really need it?

00:16:27.540 Which is essentially what Medicaid was.

00:16:30.000 Yes.

00:16:31.000 Yes.

00:16:32.180 So I don't know if they really, I mean, conservatives don't want to expansion.

00:16:35.900 I know that.

00:16:36.740 But I'm saying I'm saying the the the conservative that said we have to do something for the poor

00:16:44.500 and the blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:16:46.800 Conservatives were saying you'll make it cheaper if you let the free market work in the insurance

00:16:52.620 industry.

00:16:53.440 Of course.

00:16:54.220 Yeah.

00:16:54.400 I mean, if you think about this is like with global warming, a lot of people will say,

00:16:58.760 I want a carbon tax.

00:17:01.280 And then a lot of people on the left will say, I want cap and trade.

00:17:04.040 And most people who look at these things honestly and say cap and trade, you're just

00:17:08.280 trying to fool us into thinking we have a market.

00:17:11.240 Right.

00:17:11.640 Right.

00:17:11.880 Where where a carbon tax is really what you want.

00:17:14.800 You want a bunch of money so you can redistribute it and say it's about global warming.

00:17:18.600 Just go for the carbon tax.

00:17:19.660 So that's level three.

00:17:21.420 So Medicare, Medicare X is also what it's called.

00:17:25.220 Tim Kaine just proposed this in the Senate.

00:17:27.540 Obviously not going to pass, but that's the idea of it.

00:17:30.520 You'd have you'd be able to opt out of the system completely and just become a retired

00:17:35.260 person.

00:17:35.720 Right.

00:17:36.140 You're just on Medicare and everyone has a choice.

00:17:39.760 Now, Medicare for all is the fourth level of insanity on socialist health care.

00:17:44.080 And you've heard Medicare for all tossed around over a bunch of different products and proposals.

00:17:49.480 But the very basic idea of it here is your private insurance, if you have it through your

00:17:55.340 employer, that goes away.

00:17:58.520 There's no more private insurance.

00:18:00.360 We go to a real single payer health care vision for the future.

00:18:05.500 So this means that every time you go to the doctor, your bill, you don't do anything.

00:18:10.600 You don't have to pay.

00:18:11.420 Well, sometimes there's a copay involved in these, but generally speaking, it goes to

00:18:15.200 the government and the government pays all the bills.

00:18:17.140 The government is going to obviously eventually cut, you know, control costs.

00:18:21.020 They're going to set prices.

00:18:22.300 They're going to ration care.

00:18:23.920 All those things that we complain about all the time.

00:18:25.840 Very common with single payer systems, delays, et cetera.

00:18:30.500 So you go there, paperwork, hell for anybody in the health care industry.

00:18:36.540 And and and honestly, paperwork, hell for you.

00:18:40.340 If you think that you, you know, you and your doctor are like, you should have this test.

00:18:46.000 You may not be allowed to have that test.

00:18:48.300 You may not be allowed to have that medication.

00:18:50.700 No matter what your doctor says.

00:18:52.300 I'm sorry, it's not available.

00:18:53.480 I can't I can't make that available.

00:18:55.000 The government won't pay for it.

00:18:56.740 But in the Medicare for all world, there's a solution to that.

00:19:00.480 Yes.

00:19:00.780 OK, and it's something that like evil rich people like evil Glenn Beck would be able to do.

00:19:08.400 Right.

00:19:08.680 What would you do if you were in this government sponsored world where your only choice was Medicare?

00:19:14.740 I would do what I'm doing right now, which is I provide really good medical care for everybody in the office.

00:19:21.240 And I pay for I pay for almost all of it, don't I?

00:19:25.460 Well, for me, you pay for all of it.

00:19:26.880 I have a special arrangement.

00:19:29.120 Wait, we'll talk about it.

00:19:30.580 So anyway.

00:19:31.020 All right.

00:19:31.340 So anyway, so I do that for for everybody, but I can afford the daily medical care.

00:19:38.840 So if, you know, I got to go to the, you know, urgent care, I got to go get a shot or something like that.

00:19:44.720 I just pay for that.

00:19:45.820 I have insurance for catastrophic health care.

00:19:49.240 Right.

00:19:49.680 OK, because it's just it's cheaper for me and it's it's just better and I can get the care that I want when I want it because it's totally free market.

00:19:59.320 Right.

00:19:59.580 Totally free market.

00:20:00.280 Think about this as far as comparing it to education.

00:20:02.720 Right.

00:20:02.860 If you are unhappy with public schools, you may go to a private school.

00:20:09.560 And so people who have more money might go and decide to spend more of their money to get them out of the school system.

00:20:14.800 And you actually end up spending less because doctors will work with you and they'll say, OK, you know what would normally cost.

00:20:22.460 Right.

00:20:22.580 Yeah.

00:20:22.820 Yeah.

00:20:23.060 They'll say because they're not doing any paperwork.

00:20:25.720 OK, because you're just writing them a check.

00:20:27.680 So they're like, oh, my staff doesn't have to do anything.

00:20:29.960 I just can take this check and deposit it.

00:20:31.780 OK, and so the cuts down on their their time with red tape so they don't have to hire all those people.

00:20:40.140 And so what they do is they just lower the cost or many times they'll say, you know what?

00:20:46.320 There's a CAT scan or there's this test on over here.

00:20:50.620 It's a lot cheaper.

00:20:51.840 Why don't you just go there?

00:20:52.820 Right.

00:20:53.080 So we go to the fifth level.

00:20:54.060 This is Bernie Sanders plan would make what we're talking about this sort of concierge care or care above, you know, the normal or private insurance.

00:21:01.920 Private anything.

00:21:02.980 Private insurance is already gone in level four of this craziness.

00:21:05.940 Level five.

00:21:06.480 Bernie Sanders announced plan would make what Glenn is talking about illegal.

00:21:10.600 So if you just believe the care was bad and you prioritize saving up all your money to go and get medical care on your own, it would be illegal to do it.

00:21:18.260 You you have to leave the country.

00:21:20.500 You have the money.

00:21:21.720 You want to be able to go and have your child treated for something that the government is like, no, I'm sorry.

00:21:28.300 We're just not going to treat that.

00:21:29.780 You have to leave the country because it's illegal to pay anybody who can do that.

00:21:37.300 Incredible.

00:21:38.040 This is legitimately his proposal.

00:21:40.660 And and you'll hear this buzzword coming up a lot in these debates in the next few months.

00:21:45.120 It's called equality of care.

00:21:47.820 They're no longer talking about the best care.

00:21:49.960 They're talking about equality of care.

00:21:51.900 The problem with you, Glenn, is you have too much money and you're getting better care than other people.

00:21:56.480 But I am the guy who bought the ten thousand dollar flat screen TV that allowed the companies to then sell it for four hundred dollars, you know, two years later.

00:22:08.180 There's haves and have nots.

00:22:09.420 We need to make that illegal.

00:22:10.920 He's legitimately he's legitimately outlawing the best care.

00:22:14.860 That's that's his plan.

00:22:19.080 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

00:22:23.200 All right.

00:22:23.840 I want to talk to you a little bit about blinds dot com.

00:23:43.840 You have to see the Biden expose that happened last night.

00:23:46.260 We we have to touch base on something we've been working on all week, and that is the Biden bracket.

00:23:54.180 We we started out with the 32 creepiest pictures of Joe Biden and whittled it down yesterday.

00:24:02.060 We found out as the as the listeners spoke and each picture was pitted against another.

00:24:08.280 We found the the most creepy or at least voted by the by the audience, the most creepy picture of Joe Biden.

00:24:17.460 To talk about the Biden bracket, we go to our sports desk with Ted Stanley and Rock Rockwell.

00:24:22.980 Hi, everybody.

00:24:23.680 I'm Ted Stanley, along with Rock Rockwell.

00:24:25.820 Hi, Rock.

00:24:26.480 Hi, Ted.

00:24:27.200 How are you?

00:24:27.620 Very well, very well.

00:24:28.760 The Biden bracket was an incredible week.

00:24:31.080 We saw all sorts of incredible performances.

00:24:33.120 They were talking grope tastic things that happened well beyond what we believe is normal human interaction.

00:24:40.040 Some interesting things happened in the early rounds, I felt, and that the number one overall seat in the tournament, which was Joe Biden nuzzling up under a biker chick as her seemingly two boyfriends look on in horror.

00:24:53.480 That one I really thought was going to go far and got knocked out on the second round.

00:24:56.980 That was a huge upset, Ted, because that was a strong entry for for Joe.

00:25:01.360 So she was sitting directly on his lap and both the men in her life were were not looking happy about it.

00:25:09.180 Yeah.

00:25:09.320 And if you really look at the details of this photo, you'll notice that the the name on the biker guy on the right who looks horrified, his name is troll.

00:25:19.000 And if you look even closer, you'll notice it's actually President troll.

00:25:23.520 Now, that is actually on his jacket.

00:25:25.380 If you look at the photo, that is not something we expected.

00:25:28.720 But there it is.

00:25:29.700 Of course, we also had that one.

00:25:31.260 And I will say in the first round, it had a did win in the first round, but one against a very surprising competitor, which was Joe Biden leaning over a series of chairs to put his hand on the inner thigh of Samuel Alito, a Supreme Court justice.

00:25:43.900 I had never seen that one before.

00:25:46.700 It really, really made a difference.

00:25:49.160 Also, I'll say that the loss went to a an interesting photo with the former defense secretary of Barack Obama, Ash Carter and his wife, and he was speaking and focused on a speech while Joe Biden almost made out with his wife right behind them.

00:26:05.780 Seeing that in a public setting was shocking, Pat.

00:26:11.100 That was one of Joe's more impressive.

00:26:13.000 Rock, sorry.

00:26:14.240 One of Joe's more impressive performances.

00:26:16.600 Wait a minute.

00:26:17.380 This is starting to come apart.

00:26:20.860 He really nuzzled in there.

00:26:22.600 He got a good whiff of the hair.

00:26:24.220 He got his head.

00:26:25.340 He got his nose right up into those follicles.

00:26:27.720 I'm pretty sure there was a little tongue involved, too, in the back of her neck.

00:26:30.740 Ted, that was very, very impressive to me.

00:26:32.500 Great point.

00:26:33.000 We can ask Joe Biden later, how does hair taste?

00:26:36.940 We'll find that out on a future program.

00:26:38.960 Also, an early leader was Joe Biden as he's talking to, I don't know if it's the parents, another senator, and wrapping his hand only around onto the stomach of a young teenaged girl

00:26:55.860 and seemingly checking her to see if she has abs is how I would describe that motion.

00:27:02.220 Rock, I was surprised to see that.

00:27:04.760 It was a bold move.

00:27:05.680 That's one that makes you proud of Joe and his prowess in this event.

00:27:11.640 You know, I hate to break in as the anchorman here and delve into sports, which I know nothing about.

00:27:18.100 That's right.

00:27:18.580 That's right, Glenn.

00:27:19.220 You do know nothing about it.

00:27:20.600 When he was.

00:27:21.540 Because you're not a man.

00:27:22.500 He's not a man, is he, Rock?

00:27:23.620 When he was not a, he's about 98% woman.

00:27:26.780 He certainly is.

00:27:27.360 If we were doing a show about Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, you'd be able to comment over and over again.

00:27:32.260 Or Sound of Music.

00:27:33.440 If Sound of Music is the topic, Glenn, you're back.

00:27:35.400 So I'm just, what I'm saying here is he might have been checking for abs, but to me it appears he was just checking for any kind of lumps the young 13-year-old might have been developing.

00:27:47.380 Well, I think we'll leave that one alone.

00:27:52.280 So go check that one out on the internet.

00:27:54.200 There are some moments in which that does look like it could be happening a little bit.

00:27:57.840 We also have Chris Coons' daughter, who is a young woman.

00:28:02.960 And, you know, one of the interesting things, we've all seen people who want to say they're really advanced at groping, Rock.

00:28:11.760 But what sets someone like Joe Biden apart here is the ability to walk right through the obvious human signals of someone pulling away.

00:28:23.260 You know, it's one thing to grope someone against their will.

00:28:26.980 It's another thing to sniff their hair as they continually pull away and then try to land a kiss on their cheek.

00:28:32.240 Any good performer, Ted, needs to have amnesia.

00:28:35.820 And Joe seems to have no problem forgetting all of his past faux pas and just moving forward with the performance.

00:28:42.660 Like an offensive guy off the bench, a six-man who comes in and tries to put some offense in.

00:28:48.120 You've got to have no conscience.

00:28:49.960 You can't be sitting there.

00:28:50.780 No conscience, no fear.

00:28:51.180 You've just got to go for it.

00:28:52.380 And that's what Joe Biden always does, as he did with a reporter at a Christmas party where he wrapped his hands around her and seemingly inched towards her breastial regions.

00:29:05.620 As her breastial?

00:29:07.540 Her breastial regions.

00:29:09.280 As an anchor, I would just like to point out, again, I don't know anything about sports, but I don't think breastial is actually a word.

00:29:18.320 No, it actually should be snoobage.

00:29:20.140 Snoobage is actually the word that you're looking for there.

00:29:23.200 Thank you very much.

00:29:24.040 I appreciate that, Rock.

00:29:25.120 Also, you know, an interesting, I thought, moment in this tournament was Joe Biden reaching over, bringing in close an Eva Longoria inner prime and getting right again in there, sniffing every bit of that L'Oreal or whatever the hell she had on.

00:29:42.000 And I think that one did not advance too far in this tournament because she looks really good and people understood it.

00:29:48.780 What are your thoughts on that?

00:29:51.100 You know, I think he was like, all right, I kind of would have done the same thing if I were Joe.

00:29:56.280 Your thoughts on that rock rock well.

00:29:58.560 Yeah, that's an underrated performance from Joe because a lot of people might have been intimidated by the by the person on the other side of the affection.

00:30:07.420 But Joe had no such qualms.

00:30:09.860 He doesn't care.

00:30:11.000 Joe's aggressive.

00:30:12.040 Kids, adults, men.

00:30:13.760 None of it matters to Joe Biden.

00:30:16.180 Now, if we got down to the final four yesterday, we had the red dress girl.

00:30:20.300 He was checking for abs or lumps.

00:30:21.740 We have Chris Coon's daughter who was visibly pulling away.

00:30:26.680 And then after she pulls away multiple times, he goes in for a kiss.

00:30:30.160 That is something you don't normally see.

00:30:32.060 I'll tell you that much.

00:30:33.480 That is persistence.

00:30:34.520 You had the reporter.

00:30:35.940 Can you imagine someone from another party groping a reporter on camera?

00:30:41.900 What that would do to your news feed?

00:30:44.620 But you didn't even notice this one because it was Joe Biden.

00:30:47.820 And then you also had a young another young and this one was tough.

00:30:52.660 I thought this one picture, which actually made it all the way to the final two, was maybe it just seems like his hand is dangling in a very unfortunate place.

00:31:02.080 But I guess if you believe Joe Biden, you know, Rock, we talk about this all the time.

00:31:09.940 Unless it's Pat, you keep it.

00:31:11.660 You know, it was your fill in when you were sick last week.

00:31:14.360 But when you have these sorts of performers, when you go to the top, you have people who walk through anything.

00:31:23.320 You have people who do things unconsciously.

00:31:26.160 It's not like they're thinking through every moment.

00:31:27.960 They just go out there.

00:31:29.100 They just hit the ball.

00:31:30.020 They just pull up and nail the jump shot.

00:31:31.900 That might be Joe Biden this spot.

00:31:33.440 I don't know that he's intentionally groping this child, but he's just so good at it.

00:31:38.400 It almost happens naturally.

00:31:39.540 It is natural for him, I think, Ted.

00:31:41.420 I think that when Joe sees a female, or a male for that matter, and they're in close proximity, his hands just naturally go into action.

00:31:50.200 He's had so much training in this field.

00:31:52.100 Or he has the worst luck in the world.

00:31:54.420 Hands constantly just going into private parts of women.

00:31:57.940 And we also have the winner.

00:31:59.880 Yesterday was named on the Glenn Beck program.

00:32:03.400 I'm not sure.

00:32:04.340 Do you have any idea what they do?

00:32:07.140 I have no idea.

00:32:08.380 I don't know.

00:32:08.960 He looked like an insane conspiracy theorist.

00:32:10.760 He had all these magnets on the board.

00:32:12.140 He's thrown around and screaming about something.

00:32:13.780 I don't know.

00:32:14.960 But I will say, the girl in the red dress being checked for abs slash lumps was the winner.

00:32:20.560 And Joe, just the incredible achievement of doing that on camera in a public event, really, I think, is what put that over the top.

00:32:32.620 I think if it happened behind closed doors, you'd say to yourself, well, that is weird, and that person should be put in prison.

00:32:40.200 But this, to do it in front of cameras over and over again, wow, what an achievement.

00:32:46.000 Our champion in the 2019 Biden bracket, Joe Biden, while talking to the mom, gropes his daughter.

00:32:55.840 Well, not his daughter.

00:32:56.840 Her daughter, I guess.

00:32:57.640 Right, okay.

00:32:57.980 Whoever it was.

00:32:59.120 Right.

00:33:00.280 And I don't know.

00:33:01.540 We did not get any results of the lumps.

00:33:03.540 We don't know.

00:33:04.440 Hopefully, we never find out.

00:33:05.380 Test results will be returned soon.

00:33:08.580 Thank you, Ted Stantley and Rock Rockwell.

00:33:10.880 I do appreciate it.

00:33:13.100 This broadcast brought to you by Brooker's Ice Cream, Brooker's founding flavors.

00:33:16.720 They've got 10 flavors for us to try today, and we better eat them all.

00:33:20.180 Yeah, first, I want to tell you about our sponsor this hour.

00:33:22.120 It is LifeLock.

00:33:23.960 The IRS is warning about a scam email that's coming out with an attachment that says tax account transcript or something like that.

00:33:33.020 Don't open it.

00:33:33.960 Don't open it.

00:33:34.720 The IRS doesn't send you emails like this, like, hey, we lost your bank code.

00:33:40.800 So don't open anything from the IRS.

00:33:43.500 That's malware.

00:33:44.600 People right now are phishing.

00:33:46.140 The people that you need on your side is LifeLock.

00:33:50.780 LifeLock.com.

00:33:58.680 I can't tell you how many times that I have had problems, and they have alerted me, and they took care of all of the problems.

00:34:07.620 I just had a meeting with my security company that does security on my family, and they are currently tracking 700 threats to my family.

00:34:22.840 I was like, oh, but only 700.

00:34:26.420 They said the one thing that we have to do is we have to make sure we get on the dark web and start looking for things about you on the dark web.

00:34:35.440 Technically, it's 698 plus Ted Stantley and Rock Rockwell.

00:34:38.640 And the dark web is really frightening, and nobody's looking at it, but as they said, but a lot of people are there, and it's not just for people like me.

00:34:50.800 It's you.

00:35:22.460 Hi, Glenn.

00:35:23.300 Hi.

00:35:23.920 Now that's in my head all day.

00:35:25.300 I can only talk that way.

00:35:26.420 We have two flavors from Brooker's Founding Flavors.

00:35:29.760 Okay, now this is a local company that is out of Utah.

00:35:33.920 Uh, and it's, uh, there's only one store, and I am, I am telling you, guys, the minute

00:35:39.200 you go franchise, I want one.

00:35:41.520 18% butterfat in this ice cream.

00:35:43.580 Yeah.

00:35:43.720 I think I've only had, that I know of, as high as 14.

00:35:47.500 14 is, like.

00:35:48.580 That's pretty high.

00:35:49.360 Yeah.

00:35:49.620 Super premium.

00:35:49.920 14 is the super premium.

00:35:51.680 I don't know if they even make, anybody ever makes 18%.

00:35:55.140 You can taste the difference.

00:35:56.980 Uh, so they have two flavors here.

00:35:58.160 We have Thomas Jefferson's Declaration of Cookie Dough, which is salted milk chocolate ice cream

00:36:02.580 with chunks of chocolate chip cookie.

00:36:03.880 This is the lighter one in your bowl, Pat.

00:36:05.320 All right.

00:36:05.640 Um, and they also have chocolate white chocolate chip cookie dough.

00:36:09.160 Jeez.

00:36:09.700 Are we ready to try that?

00:36:10.480 Yeah, we'll try that one first.

00:36:11.300 Yeah.

00:36:11.500 Which one is the dark one?

00:36:13.100 The dark one is Patrick Henry's Give Me Chocolate or Give Me Death.

00:36:16.020 Dark chocolate ice cream with chunks of chocolate fudge chip brownie, chocolate truffle, and a

00:36:19.960 swirl of chocolate.

00:36:20.640 Oh, it's unbelievable.

00:36:21.540 I'm doing the Jefferson one now.

00:36:23.200 It's really good.

00:36:24.040 Wait, wait.

00:36:24.560 Try the.

00:36:25.000 The creaminess is unreal.

00:36:26.640 Unreal.

00:36:27.280 Try the, um, by the way, these are listeners of ours and, you know, they, they just decided,

00:36:33.580 you know what?

00:36:34.220 I want to start.

00:36:34.800 I want to go into business for myself.

00:36:36.480 I'm going to make ice cream.

00:36:38.320 Uh, and I want to.

00:36:39.340 And he's a big history buff, right?

00:36:40.480 Huge history buff.

00:36:41.360 Yeah.

00:36:41.700 And it's great.

00:36:42.720 And it's a family owned thing.

00:36:44.840 Try the Patrick Henry.

00:36:46.800 Hey, Patrick Henry's Give Me Chocolate or Give Me Death, which is not the right quote,

00:36:50.920 by the way.

00:36:51.140 I don't know if they know that.

00:36:53.900 Historian.

00:36:54.300 I will tell you, I will tell you this.

00:36:57.540 If he had that chocolate, it would have been the right quote.

00:37:00.960 He would have been like, I don't care.

00:37:02.520 Oppress me all you want.

00:37:03.520 Give me that damn chocolate or give me death.

00:37:06.700 I will say too, like I like chocolate, but I'm not usually a fan of the chocolate on top

00:37:11.400 of chocolate on top of chocolate ice creams.

00:37:13.000 Like that is usually really good.

00:37:14.660 Usually that is way too much chocolate.

00:37:17.180 Yeah.

00:37:17.340 It becomes because it becomes like, um, it's like a parlor trick.

00:37:20.600 It's like, how much can you jam into this thing?

00:37:22.380 Right.

00:37:23.000 This is actually a good taste.

00:37:23.840 That is really good.

00:37:25.580 But notice, notice it is almost black ice cream.

00:37:30.080 It's got so much chocolate in it.

00:37:31.780 It's like black.

00:37:33.320 Yeah, it is.

00:37:34.520 It's very dark.

00:37:35.680 And it is phenomenal.

00:37:38.140 It is better than Blue Bell by a lot.

00:37:40.440 Oh, by a lot.

00:37:41.340 And that I think is the best, the best ice cream in the country.

00:37:44.460 Would you agree with that?

00:37:45.840 It's the best mass produced.

00:37:47.240 Yeah.

00:37:47.380 Yeah.

00:37:47.560 Mass produced.

00:37:48.020 Oh, yeah.

00:37:49.300 This is, this is fantastic.

00:37:50.980 I mean, it is like, it's over the top.

00:37:52.560 I mean, it's really good.

00:37:53.440 We have to, they have to start selling this stuff online.

00:37:56.540 I know they're starting to just go to Brooker's founding flavors on Instagram and just follow

00:38:04.120 their page.

00:38:04.660 Cause they're going to start selling this nationwide.

00:38:06.360 How'd they get this to us on dry ice?

00:38:09.440 Yeah.

00:38:09.740 Miracle of, of overnight delivery.

00:38:12.180 Cause I got to do this.

00:38:13.520 That's incredible.

00:38:14.440 Isn't that the best ice cream you've had?

00:38:15.700 It is.

00:38:16.420 It is, I think by far.

00:38:17.720 I mean, I've had a lot of people say, oh no, that's the best ice cream I've ever had.

00:38:20.580 The only time I've ever felt that way was that lived up to the expectations was Blue

00:38:27.000 Bell.

00:38:27.380 Yeah.

00:38:27.840 And this is better.

00:38:28.820 And this is much better.

00:38:30.200 Yeah.

00:38:30.480 Did you know that 16 of the 18 Democratic candidates want to outlaw ice cream?

00:38:34.040 People don't know that.

00:38:34.700 No one's telling them.

00:38:35.320 No one's telling them that.

00:38:36.960 It's true.

00:38:37.060 I think that might be the one thing that would doom them all.

00:38:40.180 I don't know.

00:38:40.820 They're going after big screen TVs.

00:38:42.820 What?

00:38:43.280 What?

00:38:43.680 I was amazed at that.

00:38:44.720 Like, you know, when they talk about the environment and stuff, they're like, well,

00:38:46.940 we need to cut back on electricity.

00:38:48.100 Well, what should we do?

00:38:49.080 Should we change a coal plant to, you know, a solar plant?

00:38:51.900 No, let's get rid of people's big screen TVs.

00:38:54.420 They're not talking about that.

00:38:55.360 They are.

00:38:55.820 They waste too much energy.

00:38:56.900 Whose policy is that?

00:38:57.700 Well, it's not one of their policies, but it's one of these.

00:38:59.600 It's an environmentalist target.

00:39:01.400 They do that.

00:39:01.860 They do your nice cars.

00:39:03.360 They're not your nice big houses.

00:39:04.300 You're air conditioning.

00:39:05.180 They go after the things that make your life good.

00:39:07.640 When none of us, look, we would be pissed off about paying more, but the electricity that

00:39:12.300 comes from any different type, you know, nuclear, solar, wind, you know, when it gets to your

00:39:17.920 house, if it gets to your house, it's electricity and you use it the same way.

00:39:21.720 Taking away people's creature comforts, I think, is similar to what we were talking about

00:39:24.920 with Biden or with Sanders.

00:39:26.940 Bernie Sanders.

00:39:27.640 When it comes to not about getting the best health care, it's equality of care.

00:39:31.920 They don't want someone like Evil Glenn Beck to be able to pay to get better care than

00:39:36.540 the poorest person in our society.

00:39:38.520 Well, because you're awful in so many ways.

00:39:40.480 But I think that...

00:39:41.600 But I...

00:39:42.500 Wait a minute.

00:39:44.220 I just shared my ice cream with you.

00:39:47.020 No, I mean, it's true that this is...

00:39:48.800 You're going to start hearing about equality of care a lot, and that's how they justify

00:39:51.920 it.

00:39:52.360 When you say, well, wait a minute, what if I can't get the care that I want?

00:39:55.960 Well, the problem with the care that you want is it's better than what other people are

00:39:58.960 getting.

00:39:59.140 So you can't get it anymore.

00:40:00.980 And that'll resonate with people, because they've been working on this class warfare

00:40:04.120 for a long time, and they beat people down with it.

00:40:06.680 And I think there's a lot of Americans now that are responding to it.

00:40:10.860 Sadly.

00:40:11.380 But you know what?

00:40:11.880 Sadly true.

00:40:12.300 It is the evil people that have money that change the world.

00:40:17.120 I was on a machine last night developed by a fan of our audience that I think can help

00:40:23.460 our veterans and help people like myself and Pat out of pain like nothing else.

00:40:29.320 I want to share that with you coming up.

00:40:31.440 Thank you, Hillary.

00:40:33.480 We have realestateagentsitrust.com, our sponsor here for the spotlight.

00:40:38.480 I know a lot of people...

00:40:39.920 I mean, we're getting into that point now where this is like primetime home buying season.

00:40:43.980 Yeah, this is it.

00:40:44.940 This is it.

00:40:45.440 This is when people put their house up for sale.

00:40:47.580 They get them ready for sale.

00:40:49.260 And then they try to sell it before the next school season starts.

00:40:51.820 Yeah.

00:40:51.960 And you also don't want to sell it...

00:40:53.040 If you live in Texas, you don't want to try to sell it in the summer, because that's

00:40:55.680 death.

00:40:56.140 No one wants to walk into your home when it's 174 degrees outside.

00:40:59.120 Actually, I found the opposite.

00:41:00.320 Everybody wants to walk into your home.

00:41:01.920 They just don't want to get out of the car.

00:41:03.700 Yeah.

00:41:04.720 Run.

00:41:05.520 Quick.

00:41:06.240 Kids, run to the car.

00:41:07.720 Do not look back.

00:41:09.060 Just get into the house.

00:41:11.040 Anyway, it's a remarkable system that we have put together that helps you find the right

00:41:17.560 agent, because there is a huge difference between agents.

00:41:22.020 The people who really have the expertise, they have the systems, they know your market, and

00:41:28.520 they can price it right, and people you can trust.

00:41:30.940 I mean, that's a tall order.

00:41:33.760 Realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:41:34.820 This is where you go to find that agent.

00:41:37.320 We help you do it.

00:41:38.420 This is my company that we have spent a lot of time on and done all of the vetting of

00:41:43.940 these agents.

00:41:44.720 Realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:41:47.580 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:41:51.320 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:41:53.120 I want to tell you two remarkable stories.

00:42:00.900 And when I say I'm going to tell you, we found a guy this week who is telling a story that

00:42:08.120 no one, no one is telling.

00:42:12.440 And he is paying a very high price for it.

00:42:15.880 But it affects you directly.

00:42:19.360 And it is.

00:42:20.180 It's all about freedom of speech and freedom of thought and these big high tech companies

00:42:27.260 as they try to squash people.

00:42:29.660 And it's a story told by a guy who didn't think any of that stuff was true.

00:42:35.440 It was not a and still is not a conservative doesn't agree with the things that I say.

00:42:41.300 Yet, he was brave enough to tell the truth and paid a very, very high price for it.

00:42:50.220 I'm going to tell you that story in one minute.

00:42:55.260 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:42:57.600 We're entering the time now where people are buying and selling homes.

00:43:00.560 If you are looking for a mortgage, you can get qualified in about 10 minutes.

00:43:04.900 And it's not a one size fits all operation.

00:43:08.020 This is a family owned operation.

00:43:09.740 All of the people there do not work on commission.

00:43:13.020 They are all salaried.

00:43:14.220 So they are not taking kickbacks from the banks.

00:43:17.320 You know, the banks will come and say, hey, if you sell this mortgage, you just we're really

00:43:21.120 pushing this one.

00:43:22.040 We'll give you a kickback, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

00:43:24.660 They don't do that.

00:43:25.640 They look for the right one for you.

00:43:27.660 They work for you.

00:43:29.200 That's why they have an A plus rating with the BBB and 2,500 Google reviews.

00:43:32.800 It is the only mortgage company I have ever done any any work for nationwide or even locally.

00:43:41.580 I don't like the mortgage business because I because we all think, oh, I hope the bank

00:43:49.200 gives me a loan.

00:43:50.340 And they're charging you through the nose for that.

00:43:54.420 So please look at it from the other way.

00:43:58.260 You're you're giving them tons of money.

00:44:01.560 So they so they lend you money to live in your home.

00:44:07.140 No, no, no, no.

00:44:08.120 Make sure you look at it that way.

00:44:09.400 They're not giving you anything.

00:44:10.540 And the people who work for you are American financing.

00:44:13.820 Call 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440 or American financing dot net.

00:44:31.560 Glenn, I don't recall what time of day it was where my article went live, but I remember

00:44:45.880 it was Saturday and within 30 minutes of being published, I had already been called a

00:44:50.860 Nazi, a white supremacist, a stupid effing liar.

00:44:55.660 In fact, a longtime friend, one of my college roommates actually even tested me, texted me

00:45:01.140 and said that he was embarrassed for me and that it was really sad that I had gone from

00:45:06.100 a writer with so much promise to a misguided MAGA apologist.

00:45:10.980 I vividly recall reading that text message as I did.

00:45:15.400 I wanted to crumble.

00:45:16.560 I wanted to evaporate.

00:45:17.720 I wanted to go back in time and never have started work on this book in the first place.

00:45:21.780 I remember specifically thinking this is supposed to be a book about a scrappy tech company filled

00:45:27.020 with colorful characters.

00:45:28.100 This was supposed to be a book that had nothing to do with politics.

00:45:32.380 What had I gotten myself into?

00:45:34.860 And more importantly, what's the point?

00:45:37.440 Why was I going out of my way to try to set a record straight for a multimillionaire whose

00:45:41.820 political views I often disagreed with and who had supported a presidential candidate that

00:45:46.560 I found repugnant?

00:45:48.040 Why hadn't I just picked another fun, loving, beloved topic like Sega and Nintendo?

00:45:53.540 My last book that would make everybody happy and nostalgic to read and everyone.

00:46:00.300 Everyone would I would earn applause from everyone in the press and the pride from my friends for

00:46:07.540 several minutes.

00:46:08.200 I sat there feeling sorry for myself, continuing to wonder again and again.

00:46:12.160 What was the point?

00:46:14.060 What was the point of continuing to push my deadline to try to dig deeper into what really

00:46:18.680 had happened and then for all my extra works met with little more than ire?

00:46:23.520 Seriously, what was the point?

00:46:26.940 And then aided by a refreshing cup of coffee, the answer became overwhelmingly obvious because

00:46:35.260 that's what journalism is.

00:46:37.780 You follow the story wherever it takes you and never, however tempting it may be, the

00:46:43.800 other way around.

00:46:44.960 You follow leads.

00:46:46.600 You examine evidence.

00:46:48.060 You continue to dig deeper and deeper until you get to it.

00:46:51.740 You get to the truth, not for the praise you think you deserve, not to try to be everybody's

00:46:57.540 best friend, but because however fast or partisan or cynical the world has gotten, the truth

00:47:04.380 still matters.

00:47:05.800 It still matters so much, so, so much that from that moment forward, I knew chasing the

00:47:14.360 truth was more important than whatever it might cost me and my career, especially because

00:47:20.320 I could afford it both literally due to the success of my first book and figuratively due

00:47:25.680 to my having front row seats to see what Palmer, Lucky Palmer had gone through going from a beloved

00:47:32.640 high tech wonderkin to Silicon Valley's biggest pariah and my knowing no matter how bad things

00:47:39.940 might happen up for me.

00:47:41.480 They'd never be worse than what he had already gone through.

00:47:45.200 This is from a private letter that I received from Blake Harris.

00:47:52.900 I got it a couple of nights ago and I asked for his permission to share it.

00:47:56.840 He's with us on the phone now.

00:47:58.900 The book that he wrote that has cost him his career and his friends and his standing is the

00:48:05.840 history of the future.

00:48:07.800 When he was on the program, what, three days ago, his book was 33,000, I think, 332.

00:48:16.400 Last night, I got word that it hit number four.

00:48:19.900 The only exposure that he had had up until this program was this program.

00:48:24.780 No one wanted to support him because of the truth of this book.

00:48:30.540 Half of it is about the miracle of the free market and inventors and and and how one kid

00:48:40.360 in a trailer can change the world.

00:48:43.500 Then it takes a political turn and not by his choice.

00:48:48.100 Welcome to the program.

00:48:49.500 Blake Harris.

00:48:51.160 Thank you so much for having me on.

00:48:53.020 And I mean, I texted your producer the other day and also wrote in that email that my my

00:49:01.060 job is literally to come up with words, but I am still sort of speechless.

00:49:06.240 You know, before we get into it, I really just want to thank you again so much and your

00:49:12.940 listeners and your viewers, you know, to go from being my book being ranked 33,000 to number

00:49:19.820 three and even surpassing number three.

00:49:22.260 We're going to get it to number one.

00:49:24.240 Blake, you're going to have a number one bestseller.

00:49:28.120 It's life changing.

00:49:30.240 And beyond it being the greatest feeling in the world, a close second is just the dozens

00:49:38.120 of letters that I've received from your listeners over the past few days.

00:49:41.800 Um, just just saying, thank you.

00:49:45.420 I mean, like to the point is that I made in that email, um, you know, no one was saying

00:49:50.740 thank you.

00:49:51.160 And that's not why I do it, but it's certainly nice to hear and to hear it from people who

00:49:56.400 probably have pretty different views than me.

00:49:59.100 Um, that's wonderful because the point who can't, it's irrelevant.

00:50:03.040 It's not about left and right.

00:50:04.680 It's about right and wrong.

00:50:05.840 You know, I tell you, Blake, the, um, the media gets much of America wrong.

00:50:13.200 Um, and, uh, and the left and the right get much of America wrong.

00:50:18.700 We're not as in, uh, we're not as, uh, focused on winning as we are living truth and letting

00:50:28.400 the chips fall where they may.

00:50:30.340 We, we are very interested in everybody being free and being able to express who they want

00:50:35.780 to, to, you know, what they want to express and very much into, I mean, I've at the height

00:50:41.740 of my Fox days and for years after one of my key, uh, people on, on, uh, the daily line

00:50:51.600 of production was a San Francisco progressive that voted absolutely every time the complete

00:50:59.900 opposite of me.

00:51:01.220 And we're good.

00:51:02.660 We're good friends.

00:51:04.420 I appreciated her counsel.

00:51:07.100 I asked for her counsel.

00:51:08.980 I mean, it was an important thing to work and have many different views around me.

00:51:15.900 Otherwise you just get trapped in an echo chamber.

00:51:18.540 And I think people are sick of my way or the highway.

00:51:25.940 Well, that's, that's what I make these conversations even more important and timely is that at the

00:51:31.200 end of the day, Palmer lucky is just a proxy for what is going on with big tech.

00:51:37.060 You know, he is a high profile story, but it's a story that, that so many people have

00:51:42.320 experienced to some degree, either it's happened to a friend, some sort of censorship and, and

00:51:46.920 Facebook's my way or the highway mentality is, is just going to keep getting stronger unless

00:51:52.520 we push back on it.

00:51:53.660 In fact, um, you know, I mentioned on the show the other day that I basically spoken

00:51:57.980 into Palmer lucky, um, every day for the past three years for the book, but, but I still

00:52:03.280 continue to talk to him and let me pull this up.

00:52:05.360 But, you know, yesterday we were just chatting, um, about what is it?

00:52:09.880 It's a Facebook's new content policy.

00:52:13.000 Uh, where is it?

00:52:14.980 Um, yeah, they, they, they posted a new policy, um, to the Facebook newsroom.

00:52:19.720 It's called, uh, remove, reduce, and for new steps to manage problematic content.

00:52:24.180 Um, and you know, one of the things it says is if a meme doesn't constitute hate speech

00:52:28.140 or harassment, but it's considered in bad case, lewd, violent, or hurtful, it could get

00:52:32.280 fewer views.

00:52:33.420 And so, you know, that that's, uh, first of all, let me, I think I can guess what kind

00:52:39.380 of content is going to be considered, um, lewd, hurtful, um, inappropriate.

00:52:45.020 It, it, it's certainly not going to be, uh, equally, uh, from liberal content and, and

00:52:52.120 conservative content, first of all.

00:52:53.760 And then second of all, just the fact that it might get a few reviews, we don't, we have,

00:52:57.580 we, we, we talk sometimes about shadow banning, um, and basically not even, you know, that's

00:53:03.220 so bad because you don't even know that your content is being banned or, you know, mitigated.

00:53:07.760 And, and Facebook is here basically saying, yep, we've given ourselves the rise to do that.

00:53:12.180 Um, don't worry about it.

00:53:13.600 So it's our way or the highway, but we'll say it in a more eloquent manner.

00:53:17.880 So Blake, let me ask you, because you are a liberal, you don't necessarily, I can't even

00:53:22.340 imagine, uh, you know, what you and your friends and you're not real political.

00:53:25.580 So maybe you didn't have, but I'm sure some of your Silicon Valley friends had great opinions

00:53:29.920 of me.

00:53:31.160 Um, and, uh, and you don't need to reinforce that like that, but, um, but, uh, uh, they were

00:53:41.620 not your biggest fans, but, uh, yeah, I know that, I know that you appreciate, um, you

00:53:46.480 know, I've talked to them about, uh, I didn't share your private email, but, uh, I told them

00:53:51.780 some of the points that you made.

00:53:53.120 And, um, I guess at the end of the day, what I hope my book does, and it goes to what you

00:53:59.260 just said, that the left and the right don't really have a proper opinion of each other

00:54:04.720 or of the country is I, you know, I talked to my friends on the left and they have such

00:54:08.280 an inaccurate, crazy opinion of the right.

00:54:12.080 And a lot of my friends on the right, of the people that I talked to for this book that

00:54:15.460 were on the right, they have such a crazy opinion of the left.

00:54:18.140 And, and at the end of the day, I think that we're all so much more similar than we believe.

00:54:23.800 And I hope this book in some small way makes you realize, oh, the other side is not out

00:54:28.760 to get me.

00:54:29.460 They're not bad.

00:54:30.220 They're not evil.

00:54:30.860 They just think of certain things a little bit different.

00:54:33.260 So I agree.

00:54:34.080 So, so that leads me right to what I was going to say.

00:54:36.960 I agree with that.

00:54:38.320 And I went in to meet with Mark Zuckerberg about four years ago and I really liked him

00:54:43.160 and I really thought he was being sincere.

00:54:45.580 Um, and he wasn't trying to stifle people's voices and everything else.

00:54:50.280 And I stuck, uh, stuck up for him and I took massive amounts of heat for it.

00:54:55.800 Uh, but I was willing to do it because I believed him.

00:54:59.260 I no longer believe him.

00:55:00.900 Uh, and so there, there, there are, there are these questions that you say, well, wait

00:55:06.000 a minute, they're not out to get us, but yet their policies are going that way to stifle

00:55:13.040 the, the thoughts of people like me or anyone else and make me into a hate monger or my audience

00:55:20.120 into a hate monger.

00:55:21.140 And, and we're all racist and we have no platform.

00:55:24.960 Well, that is that, that is, uh, you know, the, the very definition of an enemy, somebody

00:55:34.020 who is trying to stifle my thought and categorize my thought into something that is not just another

00:55:40.360 opinion, but hateful.

00:55:41.940 Right.

00:55:44.180 And I think that that's what I've come to learn is that there's this compartmentalization

00:55:48.000 that allows for sort of that, uh, you know, double thing to quote George Orwell, where

00:55:53.360 I do believe that Mark would probably pass a polygraph that, that for many of the things

00:55:58.620 he says, and then he just plays this, uh, semantic gymnastics where, you know, if he believes,

00:56:05.680 of course, his, his Facebook is a platform for, uh, diverse views, but then you take

00:56:11.460 something as simple as, uh, abortion, you're pro-life versus pro-choice.

00:56:15.160 And then he would think, oh, well, well, pro-life is not a, just a diverse view.

00:56:19.060 That's immoral.

00:56:20.760 That's extreme.

00:56:21.820 Probably a better case to be made the other way around.

00:56:23.980 Right.

00:56:24.360 And myself even being pro-choice.

00:56:26.240 Uh, but you know, that, that's kind of what I started to see.

00:56:29.160 Once you do that, I just went down the list of, of conservative perspectives and thought

00:56:35.080 there is not a single one here, whether it's taxes or immigration that, that, that most

00:56:42.080 liberals I know would say is, you know, I disagree with, but that's, that's a fair perspective

00:56:46.700 to have.

00:56:47.080 Most people would just say, most liberals I know would say, well, well, that one's wrong.

00:56:51.880 So, you know, so here's here and, and then I'll take a break and let you think on this.

00:56:55.600 And then I want to talk a little bit about the book cause I, I started reading it.

00:56:58.920 It's fantastic.

00:57:00.120 Um, but, uh, the, um, uh, the, the, the one thing that comes to mind is I had dinner last

00:57:08.140 night, uh, with a guy who doesn't agree with her two nights ago that doesn't agree with

00:57:12.260 me on anything.

00:57:13.160 In fact, he was a big enemy of mine, you know, quote unquote, uh, and we had a very public

00:57:18.960 battle and it's not Van Jones for anybody who thinking it is.

00:57:21.720 Uh, and, um, we had a great dinner.

00:57:26.080 He asked to say, you know, I've seen a change in you and there's been a big change in me.

00:57:30.480 Can, can we just talk?

00:57:31.720 So we did.

00:57:32.540 And we, we discovered, we still don't agree with each other on anything, but we had a

00:57:36.940 really good conversation.

00:57:38.760 Then he wrote to me and he said, I saw you on Hannity.

00:57:40.940 And he said, I can't square the two.

00:57:42.940 He said, how, how are you saying this about the border?

00:57:47.100 Uh, and you know, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:57:49.260 And what it was, I had to write to him last night and say, look, there's one thing about

00:57:54.400 a welfare state.

00:57:55.580 You want a big welfare state and you want the free market and you want the constitution.

00:58:00.080 That's great.

00:58:00.860 There's another thing about saying, Hey, I want socialism and not Swedish socialism because

00:58:05.800 that's a free market.

00:58:06.620 They're more free than we are.

00:58:08.260 Um, that's just a big, big welfare state with a very free market.

00:58:12.260 Uh, and we can talk about that, but when you're starting to talk about things like banning

00:58:18.000 the free market on healthcare, then I got trouble with you.

00:58:21.500 But if you're a communist who is looking to overturn the constitution and you're trying

00:58:29.060 to do it intentionally through overwhelming the system, I don't have a lot of nice things

00:58:34.580 to say.

00:58:35.340 I mean, I think we should be all be able to agree that there are lines that you just say,

00:58:42.140 I can't cross that.

00:58:43.900 I can't, I can't cross that.

00:58:45.860 If we're going to have a civil society, there are a few things that we have to agree on.

00:58:51.940 And I think that the left is allowed to group everything from a big welfare state to communism

00:58:59.220 together and say, look, it's all the same.

00:59:03.260 No, no, it's not.

00:59:05.280 It's really not.

00:59:06.500 I want to get your opinion on that a little bit about the book in just a second.

00:59:10.280 I cannot please, he's up to number three.

00:59:12.940 We're almost there from 33,000 to number three.

00:59:16.020 Let's make this a number one bestseller.

00:59:17.660 And it's so worth rewarding somebody who has taken so much heat, the history of the future.

00:59:24.000 Just buy it on Amazon.

00:59:25.200 Now the history of the future by Blake Harris.

00:59:27.860 It is really a tremendous read.

00:59:30.420 Uh, all right.

00:59:31.860 Sponsor this half hour is filter by here's another great example of American ingenuity.

00:59:37.400 There's a guy on wall street.

00:59:38.860 He finds out that his grandfather's business is finally closing.

00:59:42.540 Many of it was his grandfather's business.

00:59:45.080 Uh, and, um, it's going to put this, it's a little teeny town.

00:59:49.520 It's going to put all these factory workers, uh, out, uh, out to pasture.

00:59:53.200 And it's the factory of the town.

00:59:56.140 And he's like, there's gotta be something we can do.

00:59:58.480 What that factory had been making was no longer relevant.

01:00:01.320 So he's like, okay, so if we've invest, what can we do?

01:00:04.320 He thought of filter by making air filters here in America for your HVAC system for business,

01:00:10.380 for home.

01:00:10.800 And he said, if we can make them, uh, better and we can make them cheaper and we can reinvent

01:00:16.320 it.

01:00:16.640 So you're not just going to home Depot, but we send them to people when it's time to change

01:00:21.260 the filter.

01:00:22.200 I think we have a game changer.

01:00:23.840 I think he does filter by B U Y filter, B U Y.com.

01:00:45.120 Station ID.

01:00:46.860 She's wheeling.

01:00:47.600 Blake, I, I know you're not going to shout about this, but we're going to have to have

01:00:59.900 you on again.

01:01:00.440 I just looked at the clock and I've only got about three minutes here.

01:01:03.140 Uh, and I have, I've earmarked so much in this book that I want to talk to you about.

01:01:08.760 Um, uh, where do I start?

01:01:11.460 Uh, you know what?

01:01:11.900 I'm going to save the political stuff for next week.

01:01:13.760 Let me just ask you this one question.

01:01:15.760 Sure.

01:01:16.120 What, what is so inspiring about the first half of this book is the game changer that

01:01:22.540 Mark Zuckerberg, and I think Palmer Luckey really, uh, uh, really felt, um, uh, Oculus

01:01:30.480 was, he was looking at it as gaming.

01:01:34.200 Uh, Mark Zuckerberg had a bigger vision for it and he thinks it's going to change.

01:01:38.480 It's going to be as big of a change as the cell phone.

01:01:41.620 Do you agree with that?

01:01:43.980 Um, I certainly agree in the long run.

01:01:46.020 Um, that it will be, um, I think that, you know, the book opens with Mark comparing,

01:01:50.980 um, the VR and augmented reality, the revolution to the smartphone revolution.

01:01:56.580 I don't think it's going to be, uh, quite as quick as that, but at the end of the day,

01:02:01.280 we're going to have the computing power to, to literally, uh, you know, distort our realities,

01:02:08.000 um, by putting on a headset or eventually a pair of glasses or eventually contact lenses.

01:02:14.740 Um, so I do believe that it is going to be a game changer to that degree.

01:02:19.180 And that's why, you know, so much of, um, this book, because I couldn't talk to people

01:02:25.880 about it, um, because I didn't know who I could trust with the political stuff and stuff

01:02:30.680 I uncovered, you know, there was so much, uh, mental tug of war in my head.

01:02:34.460 And I did wonder, you know, am I abandoned the original story to go tell this political

01:02:40.060 story?

01:02:40.580 You know, the final hundred pages of the book are not that much about virtual reality.

01:02:43.880 Yeah.

01:02:44.100 Um, you know, is that, is that bad?

01:02:46.080 Um, no, no, it is.

01:02:47.760 I tell you, it makes this book, it makes this book, uh, so readable and so real because it

01:02:54.200 does all of a sudden take this twist.

01:02:56.980 That's today's life.

01:02:58.780 It's really an amazing book and a microcosm of what's happening.

01:03:02.080 The history of the future.

01:04:44.460 of the future, because it is such a microcosm of us.

01:04:47.960 And I started reading it, um, yesterday and I'm a good way, uh, through it, but there's

01:04:54.040 just some stuff in here that all of us, all of us have gone through and it's really the

01:05:00.520 key, except this is at the billion dollar level.

01:05:04.580 This is the guy who at 19 invents Oculus and he sells reality, virtual reality.

01:05:12.420 He breaks a 50 year code.

01:05:14.100 This is one of the most brilliant people in today's tech.

01:05:17.460 Okay.

01:05:18.340 Literally breaks a code that no one else could figure out for 50 years.

01:05:23.500 They've been trying to do it.

01:05:25.000 Couldn't figure it out.

01:05:26.160 He does it at 19 in the back of a trailer.

01:05:29.660 Okay.

01:05:30.660 With no money, nothing.

01:05:32.500 And he breaks it.

01:05:33.680 And all these companies come out of the woodwork and, and, uh, Facebook and Zuckerberg come

01:05:39.180 with a $2 billion check rumored to be maybe more.

01:05:43.040 Uh, and they come and they say, we want to partner with you, blah, blah, blah.

01:05:46.880 And you've got to run it.

01:05:47.860 So he, he does it.

01:05:49.220 And he gets a lot of heat from people like you sold out to Zuckerberg and not because

01:05:53.620 Zuckerberg is, is liberal, but because Zuckerberg is Zuckerberg and Facebook, you know, people

01:05:59.180 know.

01:05:59.540 Every time a small company gets bought by a bigger company, this people, the fans of

01:06:03.380 the small company say they sold out.

01:06:04.800 That's like, right.

01:06:05.300 So yeah.

01:06:05.680 Like those people wouldn't sell for $2 billion.

01:06:09.600 Totally would.

01:06:10.700 Screw this company.

01:06:11.760 $2 billion in my pocket.

01:06:12.760 I don't think I'd show up to work again.

01:06:15.180 So he's, um, uh, lucky is talking to, uh, a friend at Facebook.

01:06:20.940 Um, and they're talking about, you know, how you can be, how you can be, you know, nailed

01:06:27.120 for, um, speech in Europe.

01:06:30.700 You know, you say something and you could go to jail and they're like, that's crazy.

01:06:34.940 Blah, blah, blah.

01:06:35.740 Let me read this part.

01:06:36.660 The talk of the first, uh, the first amendment soon segue in the talk of the second, uh,

01:06:41.620 and then eventually the conversation spiraled in the upcoming presidential election.

01:06:45.480 Am I correct to assume that Bernie Sanders is super popular these days over at the commune?

01:06:50.220 Chen acts.

01:06:51.300 Lucky laughed.

01:06:52.080 Yeah, you'd be correct.

01:06:53.280 And you now the commune is, would be Facebook.

01:06:56.500 Uh, well, I think there's a lot to like about Bernie, but personally I'm jazzed about Donald

01:07:01.500 Trump.

01:07:02.660 Wait, what?

01:07:03.840 Joe 10 and Joe Chen asked taken aback.

01:07:06.700 Did, did you say Trump?

01:07:08.280 Yeah, I did.

01:07:10.520 Yeah.

01:07:11.160 So what's the, once again, what lucky wasn't shocked by Chen's tongue tied reaction.

01:07:17.860 This was actually mild by Silicon Valley standards.

01:07:21.220 Go tell anyone at Facebook or Google or anywhere else that you thought Trump had some fresh ideas

01:07:26.300 and you'd be lucky to get a response that didn't include an expletive.

01:07:29.860 For that reason, lucky had hardly told a soul.

01:07:33.140 It wasn't worth the argument.

01:07:34.980 It wasn't worth explaining that.

01:07:36.160 Of course he didn't think Trump was perfect.

01:07:38.180 Of course he didn't agree with anything, everything Trump said on every issue.

01:07:43.240 It's crazy.

01:07:44.340 Lucky said, it's like they all voted for Obama, who obviously I didn't vote for.

01:07:49.220 Chen asked, you were a Romney guy in 2012?

01:07:51.640 No, I was a Gary Johnson guy.

01:07:53.200 What about 2008?

01:07:54.780 Lucky said, I was 16.

01:07:56.720 But at that point, because they all voted for Obama, I don't mean, I don't take that

01:08:03.060 to mean they agree with him 100%.

01:08:04.860 I'm not like, oh, you voted for Obama.

01:08:07.100 I didn't realize you supported civilian drone strikes.

01:08:12.160 It's great.

01:08:13.120 Isn't it great?

01:08:13.480 And he goes on, and now it's starting to get out among the Facebook people, and he is talking

01:08:21.160 to one of the guys at Facebook, and the guy says, this is an email, text message back

01:08:29.240 and forth, one of the guys from Facebook.

01:08:31.920 All this is in the book, but all the evidence of these conversations, quotes, the actual text

01:08:36.420 messages, the actual emails from Mark Zuckerberg, it's all in the book.

01:08:39.200 It's in the book.

01:08:39.620 It's crazy.

01:08:40.800 So one of the head guys over at Facebook said, are you really pro-Trump?

01:08:44.760 I've heard this.

01:08:46.080 He writes, no, more anti-Hillary, but yes, why?

01:08:49.300 Come on, you're brilliant.

01:08:51.400 I didn't take that choice lightly.

01:08:53.120 It has a lot of thought in it.

01:08:54.500 I'll stay out of it.

01:08:55.760 But Trump is bad news.

01:08:57.700 He could be, Lucky said.

01:08:59.240 I just think Hillary would be worse.

01:09:02.200 And there are quite a few people who agree, including Peter Thiel.

01:09:05.140 I'm happy to discuss in person.

01:09:06.700 About 20 minutes later, Mitchell came in person to ask Lucky if he was really planning to vote

01:09:11.040 for Trump.

01:09:12.140 Yes, Lucky said.

01:09:14.940 Mitchell said, dude, I just thought you were way smarter than that.

01:09:22.160 Now, if you can't relate to that, and now then what happens is this guy is blackballed,

01:09:27.420 and it comes from a reporter reaching out to Milo Yapanopoulos.

01:09:33.580 Now, Lucky-

01:09:35.560 He says it like that's actually the name.

01:09:37.940 Yeah, it is.

01:09:39.340 Yapanopoulos.

01:09:39.900 Yeah, okay.

01:09:41.160 Yapanopoulos?

01:09:41.820 Yippee, yippee, yippee, yipp, yipp, yipp, yipp, yipp, yipp, yipp.

01:09:44.020 He's like a dog.

01:09:44.760 Yipp, yipp, yipp, yipp, yipp.

01:09:45.460 Yapanopoulos.

01:09:46.040 Anyway, so, you know, Milo's under attack at this point, and Lucky Palmer decides he

01:09:56.440 sees this pack that is making billboards for Hillary Clinton, and they're doing billboards

01:10:01.940 around the country that are very snarky that say, oh, if Donald Trump was so rich, how come

01:10:06.980 he didn't buy this billboard?

01:10:08.880 Okay.

01:10:09.540 It's a great line.

01:10:10.280 It is a great line.

01:10:11.060 Wow.

01:10:11.560 Really?

01:10:11.780 Because obviously he wants to own everything everywhere.

01:10:14.640 And all billboards, that's the top of his mind.

01:10:18.260 So, Lucky hears about this pack that's starting, that they want to do snarky billboards, but

01:10:27.160 nothing bad, nothing racist, nothing like that.

01:10:29.800 They want to do snarky billboards next to the Hillary snarky billboards, okay?

01:10:35.160 And so he donates $10,000.

01:10:37.660 It has nothing to do with it, $10,000.

01:10:39.500 Well, a member of the press reaches out to Milo and starts accusing him of all kinds

01:10:46.000 of stuff, and he's like, well, you're with this company, and you know who is giving all

01:10:51.560 this money.

01:10:52.520 And he's like, well, I actually do, but he has nothing to do with it.

01:10:55.940 He just donated some money, and I don't have anything to do with it.

01:10:59.780 And he said, well, and he backs, and all this exchange is in the book.

01:11:04.480 He backs Milo into kind of a corner where Milo's really freaked out at this point.

01:11:09.440 So he reaches out to Palmer and says, Palmer, this guy just wants to talk to you.

01:11:14.640 So far, he hasn't printed anything that I have said.

01:11:17.500 It's been off the record.

01:11:18.680 And he said, do you trust him?

01:11:19.700 And he's like, I don't trust anybody, but I think maybe this guy.

01:11:23.760 And he's like, well, I'm not the face of this.

01:11:26.740 I just gave money.

01:11:28.480 And he said, yeah, I know.

01:11:29.740 He just wants to talk to you, blah, blah, blah.

01:11:32.760 He said, yes, I'll talk to him, but he cannot use my name.

01:11:37.240 He can't do anything like that, blah, blah, blah.

01:11:39.920 It's got to be all off the record.

01:11:41.100 All of this is in transcript.

01:11:42.960 The reporter agrees.

01:11:46.360 They get on.

01:11:47.280 They start talking to each other.

01:11:49.400 And next thing you know, that reporter, who works for the Daily Beast,

01:11:54.840 writes an article about how this guy at Facebook, the founder of Oculus,

01:12:00.000 is responsible for some of the worst memes all over the Internet.

01:12:04.740 It had nothing to do with the Internet.

01:12:05.880 It had nothing to do with the worst memes that were out there.

01:12:08.960 He gave $10,000.

01:12:10.240 The entire conversation and the knowledge was supposed to be off the record,

01:12:13.140 and he broke that conference.

01:12:13.860 Right.

01:12:14.340 And it was broken.

01:12:16.300 And the reporter said, hey, you didn't say everything that we said.

01:12:20.880 All of our conversations were off record.

01:12:23.480 So typical of Daily Beast.

01:12:24.480 So typical.

01:12:25.700 So typical.

01:12:26.640 They're really bad.

01:12:27.580 And so Palmer then finds himself in a crap storm and doesn't know what to do.

01:12:33.040 And I mean, if this doesn't make you shut down your Facebook account,

01:12:38.440 I don't think anyone will.

01:12:39.620 Anything will.

01:12:40.580 I mean, it really shows you that they are not.

01:12:47.880 They're not fooling around when they will shoot themselves in the foot on a $2 billion acquisition

01:12:54.880 and force this guy out.

01:12:57.880 $2 billion.

01:12:59.480 They care about your tweets.

01:13:00.660 They freaking fired a guy that was worth billions.

01:13:03.040 They don't care.

01:13:03.780 Because of politics.

01:13:04.360 They really don't care about your tweets or your Facebook messages.

01:13:07.060 This story is told by Blake Harris, a liberal, and nobody will give him the time of day.

01:13:12.940 And I urge you to read this book.

01:13:15.820 Yes, do.

01:13:16.420 Yeah, history of the future or whatever.

01:13:17.480 So we have the ice cream.

01:13:18.220 This is now flavors five and six from Brooker's Founding Flavors.

01:13:23.460 Pat has made the selections here.

01:13:24.920 This is an ice cream company started by fans of the show.

01:13:28.560 Yes, and it's all based on Founding Fathers.

01:13:30.360 So they have James Armistead's Double Spy Undercover, which is chocolate ice cream with

01:13:35.120 toffee chunks, swirls of marshmallow cream, and caramel.

01:13:38.120 Oh, my gosh.

01:13:38.560 That's what this is.

01:13:39.480 Right here.

01:13:40.200 Try this out.

01:13:41.040 Oh, my gosh.

01:13:41.660 That's the brown one.

01:13:42.860 Mm-hmm.

01:13:44.540 That is fantastic.

01:13:45.840 Now, this has 18% butterfat.

01:13:49.280 Pat and I are ice cream connoisseurs.

01:13:51.120 Pat and I, and we look at us.

01:13:53.660 We've had ice cream literally ever since I was a childhood.

01:13:56.880 My dad started this.

01:13:59.160 A bowl of ice cream, and it is.

01:14:01.560 Nobody makes a bowl of ice cream like me.

01:14:03.360 No.

01:14:03.600 I've never seen anything like it.

01:14:04.920 This is completely true.

01:14:06.100 I remember going over to Glenn's at one point, and he makes dinner.

01:14:10.060 And it's, you know, like, again, it was really good food.

01:14:13.060 Like, Glenn knows his food, as you can see.

01:14:16.420 Wait a minute.

01:14:17.380 He makes food.

01:14:18.260 It's really good, but normal portions.

01:14:20.040 You're having this nice meal.

01:14:21.240 He's like, yeah, you want some ice cream?

01:14:22.140 Sure.

01:14:22.820 He brings out this bowl, like, that is, I think, like, used to store large, like, at

01:14:29.120 a produce store.

01:14:30.860 We picture, like, in the middle of the aisle, like a centerpiece.

01:14:34.380 It could store, like, 60 to 70 oranges.

01:14:36.660 It's like a gigantic salad bowl.

01:14:36.980 Right?

01:14:38.040 And every inch is filled with ice cream.

01:14:41.740 And then it's, like, and then it's piled up over the top, so, like, it's, like, maximum

01:14:45.020 structural possibility of how much an ice cream can fit in the bowl.

01:14:47.580 My father taught me well.

01:14:48.780 Yeah.

01:14:49.100 Okay, so I've been eating it my whole life.

01:14:51.260 I think this is the best ice cream I've ever had.

01:14:54.060 Me, too.

01:14:54.880 It's really, really, really good.

01:14:56.560 So, now, I mean, I'm positive about it.

01:14:59.060 Yeah, I am.

01:14:59.340 This is better than anything we've even made at home.

01:15:01.100 Yeah.

01:15:01.580 And we make pretty good ice cream at home.

01:15:03.400 Usually, you do.

01:15:04.340 The best ice cream you have.

01:15:05.820 This is better than that.

01:15:06.920 My gosh, what's this other one?

01:15:08.220 So, the other one is my favorite founding father, Ben Franklin.

01:15:13.580 He's brought with us Black Raspberry Republic, if you can keep it.

01:15:17.620 Now, you will not keep it in the bowl because you will eat it, but still.

01:15:20.760 So, you can't keep it.

01:15:21.560 This is Black Raspberry ice cream with dark chocolate chunks.

01:15:24.760 Like our republic, you can't keep this ice cream.

01:15:26.180 This is, like, not only the smoothest ice cream I've ever had.

01:15:28.420 This is, like, the best flavors I've ever had.

01:15:33.120 This guy's a genius.

01:15:35.680 Really a genius.

01:15:36.780 Yeah, this is going to be a thing, isn't it?

01:15:38.000 This is a dad.

01:15:38.640 Yeah, this is going to be a thing.

01:15:39.740 And if I'm not the first franchise, I'm telling you, I'm coming for you.

01:15:46.480 When they franchise, I really want to own a franchise.

01:15:48.840 I'm on the show, too.

01:15:49.660 I want first rate of refusal as well.

01:15:51.300 Are they planning to franchise?

01:15:52.960 I don't know.

01:15:53.980 They are now.

01:15:55.880 I don't know.

01:15:56.500 Oh, it's really good.

01:15:57.120 I think they should sell this in stores.

01:15:59.160 So far, I think they have two locations, right?

01:16:01.420 I think it was three.

01:16:02.600 Three?

01:16:03.660 And they're putting it online soon.

01:16:07.340 It's not yet online, but it will be.

01:16:09.800 If you are a fan of ice cream, it's Brooker's.

01:16:15.840 Brooker's Founding Flavors.

01:16:17.400 And in Utah.

01:16:17.940 It's in Utah, right?

01:16:18.820 And so, if you happen to be in Utah, you can go there.

01:16:20.820 Or, you know, you can plan a family trip.

01:16:22.640 Gosh.

01:16:22.940 You can charter an airplane and land near their location.

01:16:26.900 I would advise it.

01:16:28.340 And in Utah, we probably know.

01:16:30.380 Too bad you don't know anybody with an airplane.

01:16:32.060 You know Leatherby's ice cream?

01:16:34.480 This is way better than that.

01:16:38.020 I've never had Leatherby's.

01:16:38.620 Way better.

01:16:39.620 I mean, Leatherby's, I think, dominates.

01:16:42.560 But this.

01:16:42.980 We haven't had that.

01:16:43.860 How many flavors have we had?

01:16:45.200 Six.

01:16:45.780 Six.

01:16:46.400 We are not healthy people.

01:16:47.320 I have not had a flavor that I would go, you know, you go to, you go to look at ice cream

01:16:52.620 and you look in the, you look in the, you know, the freezer and you're like, I don't

01:16:56.600 know.

01:16:57.420 And you'll get stuff that you're like, eh, that's okay.

01:17:00.440 I haven't had one that I don't like.

01:17:02.200 Yeah.

01:17:02.620 Really, really good.

01:17:03.200 You can tell how real it is too, because it takes like a month to melt.

01:17:06.320 It just sits there.

01:17:07.820 It doesn't turn to soup.

01:17:09.360 18% butterfat.

01:17:10.940 Amazing.

01:17:11.780 Amazing.

01:17:13.760 I mean, the high reviews.

01:17:15.420 Brooker's Founding Flavors in Utah.

01:17:16.500 We have Arthur Brooks coming up in a couple seconds here.

01:17:19.460 I also want to give you this quick stat right now.

01:17:21.120 In these prediction markets we've been talking about with the elections.

01:17:23.620 Yeah.

01:17:24.120 And they can predict, you know, you can bet on who's going to win, essentially.

01:17:27.700 We've been talking about these for years.

01:17:29.400 Right now, these markets believe there is a 30% chance, so basically one in three, that

01:17:35.620 either the nominee for the Democratic presidential candidate will either be Pete Buttigieg or Andrew

01:17:44.220 Yang.

01:17:44.620 You've got to be kidding me.

01:17:46.500 A one in three chance that it's the guy from the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, or a tech

01:17:53.320 entrepreneur that you've never heard of until the last couple months.

01:17:56.020 I agree.

01:17:57.120 You're a big Buttigieg guy.

01:17:58.380 He's now tied for the lead with Bernie Sanders in the prediction polls.

01:18:01.180 I agree.

01:18:01.620 Now, his polling is not there yet, but he's got a good profile, and he seems to be getting

01:18:05.180 momentum.

01:18:05.780 Look, people are done.

01:18:06.520 One of the reasons why Donald Trump won is because people are done with these guys.

01:18:11.920 They're just done with them.

01:18:13.240 And I don't care what his qualification.

01:18:15.420 I know I don't trust any of you people.

01:18:18.680 And that's why.

01:18:20.300 That's what the border is.

01:18:21.620 The border is not about Mexico.

01:18:22.880 The border is about we don't trust the people in Washington to ever do what they say.

01:18:27.240 So build the damn wall, and I don't have to talk to you about it anymore.

01:18:30.700 That's what that's about.

01:18:32.280 These two are popular because they're completely out of the system.

01:18:36.260 Yeah, Andrew Yang.

01:18:36.980 If you watch Ben Shapiro's interview with Andrew Yang, I don't think in my entire life, legitimately,

01:18:42.460 I've ever seen a Democratic candidate do an interview like that.

01:18:46.480 I mean, it's all substance.

01:18:48.740 It's all policy.

01:18:49.620 There's no gotcha questions.

01:18:52.040 There's no like, you know, it's a real conversation.

01:18:55.520 And I've never heard a Democrat show up for an interview like that.

01:19:00.260 I mean, because, you know, again, like you maybe would see it on like Pod Save America

01:19:04.520 from the left, but this is from the right.

01:19:06.780 It's really interesting.

01:19:07.960 And Buttigieg has a lot of that sort of underground Obama era support.

01:19:13.480 Those people who supported Obama, they're not going to Biden.

01:19:16.380 They're going to Buttigieg.

01:19:17.380 All right.

01:19:17.600 I need to tell you about Field of Greens.

01:19:19.400 Field of Greens.

01:19:21.560 I got an email in, a couple of emails.

01:19:24.980 One said, hey, my whole family is getting sick.

01:19:26.720 And I realized I'm not getting sick because I, my immune system has been boosted.

01:19:31.780 Glenn, I have good news and bad news.

01:19:33.440 Good news is I'm still not sick.

01:19:35.240 Thankfully, the amoxicillin has helped my wife and daughter recover from the bug.

01:19:39.920 Thank you again for telling me about Field of Greens.

01:19:42.600 It boosted my immunity and I don't have time to get sick.

01:19:46.380 Bad news is my son fell off of the couch and broke his arm.

01:19:50.700 Field of Greens have anything to do with, you know, childhood carelessness?

01:19:55.300 Nope, sorry they can't help you there, but they can boost your immunity with real USDA organic fruits and vegetables.

01:20:00.300 It'll boost your immunity using antioxidants, prebiotics, and probiotics.

01:20:24.600 Welcome to the program.

01:20:26.820 Coming up in just a second, I want to pursue this conversation a little bit about Andrew Yang and Pete Buttigieg.

01:20:34.000 Because I think if the Democrats are smart, they'll nominate one of these two guys.

01:20:44.900 Because they're completely out of the system.

01:20:46.960 They're completely radical, different thinkers, especially Yang.

01:20:52.360 And one would be our first Asian.

01:20:54.640 One would be our first gay president.

01:20:56.480 So they got that going for them.

01:20:58.900 But more importantly, you don't have anybody who is really thinking completely out of the box.

01:21:06.640 And I think America is ready for a completely out of the box thinker.

01:21:11.480 There is real discrimination going on.

01:21:24.860 But it is criminalization.

01:21:26.960 Criminalization of homosexuality around the world.

01:21:31.760 And Trump is standing up against it.

01:21:34.740 And we all need to stand up against it.

01:21:36.760 But there is criminalization happening around the world with freedom of speech.

01:21:42.660 And it's getting closer and closer to our own shores.

01:21:45.640 And it's quite frightening what's happening.

01:21:49.540 There is proposed criminalization of private health care.

01:21:54.900 That comes from Bernie Sanders.

01:21:57.880 And you want to know what the big crime is?

01:21:59.740 I always thought we went to the moon.

01:22:01.520 I always thought NASA, we went to the moon.

01:22:03.560 Really? Really, NASA?

01:22:07.980 I saw your picture of the black hole this week.

01:22:11.940 And I know what game you're playing.

01:22:15.180 And I'm going to prove you a liar within the next 60 minutes.

01:22:21.880 And you will see it with your own eyes.

01:22:24.200 I'm on to you, NASA.

01:22:25.720 I am on to you.

01:22:27.020 Coming up.

01:22:30.040 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:22:31.860 All right.

01:22:33.640 Our sponsor this half hour is the United States Concealed Carry Association.

01:22:39.680 They really are a group of people that are pushing for education.

01:22:47.420 Pushing also to protect responsible gun owners like you.

01:22:51.660 Because there is a real battle coming up on guns.

01:22:55.280 And we need people like the USCCA.

01:22:57.440 And they need you.

01:22:58.400 But they want to open up the conversation by giving you a new free gun.

01:23:00.860 They're giving away 19 guns away.

01:23:03.400 But they just, they're kind of doing a little test.

01:23:06.600 You don't have to answer this.

01:23:07.680 You just have to, you can guess.

01:23:09.800 You can guess.

01:23:10.820 The gun they're giving away, 19 of them, is one of the most popular double action pistols

01:23:15.920 in the world today.

01:23:17.340 It's often the gun of choice for law enforcement officers, civilians, and our military.

01:23:21.620 And its accuracy makes it the ideal concealed carry gun.

01:23:25.420 Can be used as a perfect training gun right out of the box.

01:23:28.900 What is the gun?

01:23:31.500 I know.

01:23:32.680 But I've texted BECK to 87222.

01:23:36.960 Do it now and find out.

01:23:38.500 And you're automatically registered to win one of the 19 free guns.

01:23:42.720 You know, this is not a contest they're doing on MSNBC.

01:23:44.780 Text BECK, B-E-C-K, to 87222.

01:23:50.980 87222.

01:24:01.940 Before we get to Brad, and Stu will tell you the thing we're talking to Brad Palumbo about

01:24:08.320 in just a second, I wanted to introduce you to a concept that we've all known for a long

01:24:16.420 time.

01:24:16.920 Me, I never went to the moon.

01:24:18.780 By the way, did you hear that Israel failed to land their lunar rover on the moon?

01:24:24.880 I didn't even know they were going to the moon.

01:24:27.940 At the last minute, they lost contact with the ILM, and it crashed down on the moon.

01:24:33.900 So what, the cable at the top of the soundstage broke?

01:24:37.040 Exactly right.

01:24:37.740 And it crashed to the ground.

01:24:38.520 Exactly right.

01:24:38.680 Now, have you seen, do we have the picture of the black hole that NASA released?

01:24:44.540 Now, this is like 50 some million light years away.

01:24:47.860 Okay.

01:24:48.920 That's not a black hole.

01:24:51.120 I'm looking at it now.

01:24:52.220 I mean, what else would, I mean, what would you say it is?

01:24:54.700 Well, I am a son of a baker that is a glazed donut on a velvet background with an orange light

01:25:04.300 hitting one side really hard and the camera's out of focus.

01:25:08.680 So I brought Chance in.

01:25:10.400 Chance is an artist of ours and a cameraman of ours.

01:25:14.980 Connoisseur of Taco Bell.

01:25:16.620 Yes.

01:25:17.480 And do you think you can recreate that picture?

01:25:22.140 Do you think?

01:25:23.160 We're going to try.

01:25:24.180 I thought we can get close.

01:25:25.100 Okay, get close.

01:25:25.760 So now the camera is beaming the pictures to the control room?

01:25:29.240 Right.

01:25:29.800 Okay.

01:25:30.720 We have to have the lights off for this?

01:25:32.820 I think I can do it without the lights off.

01:25:34.860 Without the lights on?

01:25:35.440 With the lights on, yeah.

01:25:36.440 With the lights on.

01:25:37.040 Okay.

01:25:37.220 Yeah.

01:25:37.540 All right.

01:25:38.000 Go ahead.

01:25:38.680 So what we're going to do, and we'll see the first picture here and see if we can get

01:25:41.680 it close.

01:25:42.060 But my theory is that's a picture of a donut.

01:25:45.260 That is absolutely a picture of a donut.

01:25:47.800 I don't think you could get the picture of a donut to look like that.

01:25:51.520 I think you can.

01:25:53.380 I think you can.

01:25:54.400 Let's see what Chance can do.

01:25:55.760 Glenn, you're a very visual man.

01:25:57.140 It's true.

01:25:57.840 And you know photography.

01:25:59.480 You know the stuff.

01:26:00.600 And I know food.

01:26:01.960 And you know donuts better than literally anyone in human history.

01:26:05.680 It's not filmed.

01:26:06.680 It's not filmed.

01:26:06.940 Okay.

01:26:07.280 So let's go into the interview.

01:26:09.060 And if you're watching, and we'll tweet these pictures out.

01:26:11.440 But I'm telling you, by the end of the hour, we will have that picture of that black hole.

01:26:15.400 And the perfect lead-in to a real-life tragedy all around the world is, of course, talk about donuts.

01:26:21.860 But we go to Brad Palumbo, who is with Young Voices and National Review.

01:26:27.040 And Brad's been with us before.

01:26:29.240 He wrote an op-ed in the Washington Examiner.

01:26:31.580 Christians and LGBT advocates should come together and support Trump's fight against gay criminalization.

01:26:38.520 Brad joins us now.

01:26:40.200 Hey, thanks for having me on.

01:26:41.500 You bet.

01:26:42.320 So tell me what's happening here, Brad.

01:26:45.240 Yeah, absolutely.

01:26:46.360 So the Asian island nation of Brunei just enacted Sharia law.

01:26:50.880 It went into effect in early April.

01:26:53.360 So they're now one of 72 countries that criminalize homosexual behavior.

01:26:58.280 They make it illegal to be gay.

01:26:59.840 In fact, they even give people the death penalty by stoning.

01:27:04.360 So thankfully, I think this has triggered a bipartisan backlash.

01:27:08.060 But what I really called on everybody in this piece to do is to come together, whether you're

01:27:12.220 personally Christian, religious, conservative, or you're a wild progressive LGBT advocate.

01:27:16.920 Not going to happen.

01:27:17.460 You should all stand up for human dignity.

01:27:19.400 It might not happen.

01:27:20.140 No, I'll tell you, it won't happen.

01:27:22.160 I went when this was happening in Russia.

01:27:25.120 Remember, they started giving they started denying driver's license to people who were

01:27:29.520 gay in Russia.

01:27:30.400 And then there were the the the outlawed like PDA in public.

01:27:34.880 Remember the anti-PDA law?

01:27:37.380 Right.

01:27:37.580 And it was when it was voted on.

01:27:38.640 It was if I'm if I'm not mistaken, unanimous in the Russian legislative branch.

01:27:44.440 So they they also there were rumors that they were just scooping homosexuals up and they

01:27:50.240 were killing them in one of the provinces or districts or whatever they call them over

01:27:54.340 there.

01:27:54.700 Yeah.

01:27:55.400 Pardon me?

01:27:56.920 It was in Chichena, right?

01:27:58.280 And I want to actually give you give you credit on that, Glenn, because I listen to your show

01:28:01.640 all the time.

01:28:02.200 And I remember that you had some activists on undercover activists.

01:28:05.420 Yes.

01:28:06.080 And you were out there being, I think, one of the only ones that I was aware of, of religious

01:28:11.020 conservatives standing up for human dignity and standing up for human rights.

01:28:14.760 Well, I think I think that you were an example with that.

01:28:17.400 Well, Brad, I will tell you that long before that, three, four years before that, I went

01:28:22.760 and asked for a private meeting with GLAAD in New York.

01:28:26.220 And I said, look, we're never going to agree on a lot of stuff.

01:28:29.000 We're never going to agree on bakeries and everything else.

01:28:31.220 But we can agree on human rights.

01:28:33.740 And just because you're gay, you should not you should not lose your driver's license.

01:28:37.820 You should not lose your life.

01:28:39.100 You should not none of these things.

01:28:41.300 And we can stand on this and we have to come together.

01:28:45.160 Christians who do not agree with you on what you're pushing and you who don't believe with

01:28:51.360 Christians, we need to come together and say this cannot happen.

01:28:56.780 I spent a the one of the most frustrating hours of my life in a meeting.

01:29:02.640 They could not get past the cake.

01:29:05.620 And that bothers me to no end, Glenn.

01:29:07.960 I mean, it just showed me that you're not serious.

01:29:12.060 You're not serious because cake is cake.

01:29:16.500 These homosexuals here can get married and they could go buy a cake someplace else.

01:29:20.920 These people are being killed.

01:29:23.640 Where are your priorities?

01:29:26.680 Yeah, I've never had any trouble obtaining cake.

01:29:29.280 I can tell you that, Glenn, too.

01:29:30.740 But what it shows me, and I've been a longtime critic of kind of the progressive LGBT movement

01:29:37.920 for exactly this reason.

01:29:39.420 You know, Trump derangement syndrome is real, guys.

01:29:42.640 I remember after Trump announced this initiative to fight the decriminalization of homosexuality

01:29:48.460 worldwide.

01:29:49.340 It's an initiative led by Ambassador Rick Grinnell.

01:29:51.960 The progressive reaction to it was kind of ridiculous.

01:29:56.360 I mean, one op-ed in Out magazine, an LGBT publication, well, it went viral because it

01:30:01.380 bizarrely argued that Trump's plan to decriminalize homosexuality is an old racist tactic.

01:30:07.740 Oh, my gosh.

01:30:08.280 These people are not discussing these issues in good faith, and they're more interested

01:30:12.640 in weaponizing them for political purposes than actually coming together and getting

01:30:16.380 things done.

01:30:16.940 And that's a shame.

01:30:18.880 And where has Donald Trump ever, ever given any indication that he was anti-homosexual?

01:30:28.340 Ever?

01:30:29.600 I think as far as Republican presidents go, he is, on issues of gay rights, definitely the

01:30:35.320 best that I've ever known.

01:30:36.700 In fact, I mean, he came into the Oval Office with a neutral position on same-sex marriage,

01:30:42.360 right?

01:30:42.620 States should have the right to legalize it.

01:30:44.240 It's settled law.

01:30:45.360 That's better than what Barack Obama was saying in 2008.

01:30:48.340 So I give him credit on that, even if he does, in general, have some positions maybe I wouldn't

01:30:52.940 personally agree with.

01:30:54.480 On homosexual rights?

01:30:57.160 No, but I do think some of his stances on transgender issues are more controversial.

01:31:02.600 But I think on gay rights, he absolutely has been probably the best president in modern

01:31:07.940 history, definitely the best Republican.

01:31:10.420 So, Brad, what do you suggest that people do?

01:31:15.360 So I think that we can all do something to stop these atrocities that are going on in

01:31:20.220 Brunei and going on in 71 other countries, regardless of our partisan feelings.

01:31:24.660 One thing you can do is you can support President Trump's initiative, right?

01:31:28.200 He's already taking diplomatic steps to punish countries that are violating the human rights

01:31:33.000 of gay people.

01:31:33.780 Look at how tough he's been on Iran.

01:31:35.940 Iran is one of the worst countries in the world to be gay.

01:31:38.360 And he's taken all sorts of diplomatic actions against them.

01:31:41.660 Another thing we can do is boycott the American hotels that Brunei actually owns.

01:31:46.640 The Brunei Sultan and Royal Family own a number of hotels in America.

01:31:50.220 Which are they?

01:31:50.580 What are they?

01:31:51.780 So I don't have a list in front of me, but you can actually go to George Clooney's Twitter

01:31:55.240 account, and he's tweeted them all out.

01:31:57.240 I wouldn't normally be, I think, allies with George Clooney, but hey, that shows you how

01:32:00.820 we should all be able to come together on this.

01:32:02.320 Another thing I would encourage people to do is to donate to the charity Rainbow Road.

01:32:07.520 A lot of these LGBT charities are extremely political, extremely partisan.

01:32:11.940 Rainbow Road is not one of those.

01:32:13.480 What they do is they help LGBT people escape and flee countries where their lives are in

01:32:18.400 danger from oppressive governments.

01:32:20.240 So most importantly, I think everyone's just got to love thy neighbor, you know, and embrace

01:32:24.880 an attitude of human dignity and mutual tolerance.

01:32:28.940 I feel like this is a little bit too heavy an issue to ask this question.

01:32:31.980 But do you think the NASA photo was faked with a glazed donut?

01:32:37.680 Well, I haven't seen the rest of your show yet.

01:32:39.680 I haven't seen the hard evidence.

01:32:41.460 Brad, when you see it, if we can get it right, do we have the first photo?

01:32:46.160 Let's bring up the first photo.

01:32:47.540 Bring up the first photo.

01:32:49.360 Okay.

01:32:50.260 Okay, now let's see.

01:32:51.040 It doesn't work.

01:32:51.720 Oh, no.

01:32:52.120 It's closer than I thought it would be, though.

01:32:54.320 I mean, but that's not right.

01:32:55.780 You're right.

01:32:56.040 It's not right.

01:32:56.700 It's not right.

01:32:57.200 That could be something, but it does still kind of look like a donut.

01:33:00.940 We'll tweet these photos out individually, by the way.

01:33:02.920 We've got to get rid of it.

01:33:03.660 I think we have to hit some of the lights.

01:33:06.060 Okay.

01:33:06.720 All right.

01:33:07.720 Brad, thank you so much.

01:33:09.100 Appreciate it.

01:33:09.940 Assistant Editor for Young Voices.

01:33:13.880 Would you write down, what is it, Rainbow Road?

01:33:16.040 Rainbow Road, yeah.

01:33:16.720 Would you write that down so we can look into that organization?

01:33:19.220 I will.

01:33:19.520 You know, I think that's an organization.

01:33:20.660 If that's really what they do, I support that organization.

01:33:24.340 Yeah, absolutely.

01:33:25.380 I mean, you know, this is the issue of focusing on low-hanging fruit, right?

01:33:29.160 Like, this is low-hanging fruit.

01:33:30.720 The ability that, you know, the idea that we can step together and say, okay, Donald Trump,

01:33:36.200 yeah, he's the guy you don't like on the left, but you know what he's doing?

01:33:39.220 He's going after people who are victimizing these groups you say you care so much about.

01:33:46.320 Instead of arguing about politics here in the United States, here's something that we

01:33:50.340 can all actually be on the same side on.

01:33:52.520 It doesn't raise money, though.

01:33:53.740 No.

01:33:54.200 It doesn't get clicks.

01:33:55.360 It doesn't get clicks, and it doesn't raise money.

01:33:57.400 I know.

01:33:57.800 And that's, I mean, that is a huge problem.

01:34:00.480 And I don't care if it never gets a click.

01:34:02.420 It's worth talking about, because there are a million issues like that, where, you know,

01:34:06.920 Arthur Brooks, who's on your podcast this weekend, who's awesome.

01:34:10.860 He's one of my personal heroes.

01:34:12.380 Mine, too.

01:34:13.660 Legitimately, he's able to do all the things I say in my head I want to do.

01:34:18.320 He's somehow able to do them.

01:34:20.060 Me, too.

01:34:20.200 You know, right?

01:34:20.900 Yeah.

01:34:21.400 And he's super smart, and he's run American Enterprise Institute.

01:34:25.980 Go watch his TED Talk on capitalism and what it's done in the world.

01:34:30.500 Again, it's a TED Talk.

01:34:31.560 This is not a conservative audience.

01:34:32.540 He's able to go to these places where people don't even hear these ideas about how good capitalism

01:34:36.620 is and tell these stories.

01:34:38.560 And, you know, he does that really, really well.

01:34:41.280 And one of the ways he does it is that.

01:34:42.920 There's a million issues in which we can find common ground and both all be right on.

01:34:48.880 And his point is, instead, we are incentivized by the media and all these other things to

01:34:55.700 focus on the slight differences and make them as expansive as possible.

01:35:00.180 And now, look, we have real differences with people like Bernie Sanders.

01:35:02.840 And this is, you know, Arthur Brooks is a conservative.

01:35:05.360 He's not arguing we adopt his policies by any means.

01:35:08.280 But instead of constantly looking for the outrage and the conflict, trying to instead

01:35:13.660 find those things where we can actually persuade people to our point of view.

01:35:19.180 Yeah.

01:35:19.260 He's a brilliant, brilliant guy.

01:35:21.900 And he's going to be on the podcast this weekend.

01:35:24.280 That's the Saturday podcast.

01:35:25.540 Wherever you get podcasts, make sure you sign up for the Glenn Beck podcast.

01:35:28.260 You get this show every day.

01:35:30.460 And then on Saturdays, you get an amazing interview with somebody that has just something

01:35:35.860 incredible to tell.

01:35:37.660 Arthur Brooks is one of the most hopeful people I think I've ever met.

01:35:41.480 He'll make you believe that, you know, wait a minute.

01:35:43.640 Hang on just a second.

01:35:44.900 No, freedom might actually win here.

01:35:47.500 And he's right.

01:35:49.680 He's right.

01:35:50.380 If we just start looking at the right things.

01:35:54.720 All right.

01:35:55.380 Let me tell you a little bit about SimpliSafe.

01:36:26.260 a few rented apartments that they were getting broken into.

01:36:29.900 Now, they're completely changing and disrupting an entire industry.

01:37:17.620 tells you, okay, here's what you need to do.

01:37:20.360 Makes it easy.

01:37:21.000 Walks you right through it.

01:37:21.840 Yeah.

01:37:22.480 SimpliSafe.

01:37:23.260 SimpliSafeBeck.com.

01:37:24.220 That's SimpliSafeBeck.com.

01:37:27.720 10 seconds break for Station ID.

01:37:29.840 All right.

01:37:47.120 We have the second picture out.

01:37:50.660 We have chance.

01:37:51.860 Let's put this second picture up for the, I should have just sent it to you.

01:37:57.460 Oh, we're going to, okay.

01:37:59.840 All right.

01:38:01.120 We're getting close here.

01:38:02.380 See?

01:38:03.580 I'm telling you.

01:38:04.700 Because with the orange, it now has an orange hue to it.

01:38:06.940 It looks very similar.

01:38:08.200 We put the orange light on it.

01:38:10.120 So in case you missed this setup here, the NASA photo came out about the black hole.

01:38:15.160 And Glenn, instead of celebrating incredible scientific achievement, decided he believed

01:38:19.760 it was not real and believed it was just a photo of a glazed donut with an orange light

01:38:26.020 on it.

01:38:26.600 With a black velvet background.

01:38:29.020 So you don't see the background.

01:38:31.340 And, but that's not, that's not right.

01:38:34.220 Because it now, it does look like an orange circle now, but it doesn't have the light.

01:38:37.560 Okay.

01:38:37.780 Just took another one.

01:38:38.640 Do we have another, we have another photo?

01:38:43.280 Okay.

01:38:43.640 So what are you?

01:38:44.280 Okay.

01:38:44.480 So wait a minute.

01:38:44.980 What are you, uh, you padded down one side?

01:38:48.500 What did you do?

01:38:49.040 Or just adjust the light?

01:38:50.640 Uh, just adjusting the light right now.

01:38:52.520 Just adjusting the light.

01:38:53.760 It's getting close.

01:38:54.440 I will say it looks, it is amazingly close considering this is just a picture of a donut.

01:38:59.920 It does look close to the NASA photo.

01:39:04.640 Now it's not exact.

01:39:06.260 I mean, I, but I mean, if they released, I will say this, Glenn, if they just released,

01:39:11.820 if they didn't release the actual NASA photo and just released your photo of a donut as

01:39:16.760 the actual NASA photo, I would have believed it.

01:39:20.320 Legitimately, I would have been like, oh wow, look at that.

01:39:21.720 That's amazing.

01:39:22.420 Okay.

01:39:22.660 Hang on.

01:39:22.960 He's going to take another one here.

01:39:24.800 Hitting it with a little harsher light.

01:39:28.540 All right.

01:39:29.180 Grab one of those.

01:39:30.260 Yeah.

01:39:30.400 Try that one.

01:39:33.320 Hang on.

01:39:34.060 Because the light is bright.

01:39:35.540 Okay.

01:39:35.820 Not white, but it's getting, it's getting very close.

01:39:38.540 And now because one of the things you notice is the lower side of the photos.

01:39:42.400 And if you want to see these photos, you can get them.

01:39:43.920 That's the hard part.

01:39:44.720 Glenn Beck's Twitter.

01:39:46.240 We'll tweet them out from there.

01:39:47.500 But you'll notice one side getting hit with a light a lot brighter than the other is something

01:39:51.120 you'd notice in the initial NASA photo of the black hole, supposedly.

01:39:57.200 Go to the next one.

01:39:58.200 Go to the next photo because he took a couple.

01:40:02.740 Well, that one.

01:40:04.680 Did you take a bite out of the donut?

01:40:07.160 I don't know what you're talking about, but.

01:40:11.120 That one looks like.

01:40:12.000 I don't.

01:40:14.720 I don't think that was appropriate.

01:40:16.020 I don't think.

01:40:16.640 Because I think we've ruined our chances.

01:40:19.860 I think we got pretty freaking close before you took the bite.

01:40:23.920 Go back to the.

01:40:25.120 That was for me to take the bite, not you to take the bite.

01:40:27.880 I mean, geez, man.

01:40:29.940 All right.

01:40:31.500 That's pretty close.

01:40:32.440 Is that the closest one, would you say?

01:40:33.580 Is that the closest one we can get?

01:40:34.820 I think that's probably as close as I can get with the lighting in here.

01:40:38.320 Right.

01:40:38.760 Because the brights are a little bright in here.

01:40:40.320 So we're having issues with that.

01:40:41.600 But it's pretty close.

01:40:42.820 Honestly, like if that was released from NASA, I would not question it.

01:40:47.020 And that's, that's, that's the, we are sheep.

01:40:50.220 That is, can I tell you something?

01:40:51.920 Can I tell you something?

01:40:53.220 Honestly, that just looks like you could interchange those two and you would not, you would not know.

01:41:00.360 You would not know.

01:41:01.460 You would just say, oh, here's another picture of the black hole.

01:41:03.560 Yeah.

01:41:03.700 Can we tweet those two side by side?

01:41:07.520 Can tweet those two, you know, from my account.

01:41:12.020 We can tweet those two side by side.

01:41:15.160 It is close enough that people would not know one is a donut and one is a black hole.

01:41:20.260 What if we say like, this is another additional image of the black hole has been released by NASA and see if people can tell.

01:41:26.460 Because I don't think they could tell.

01:41:29.400 I do not think that they could tell.

01:41:30.960 So, that is a, it's a pretty close, it's a pretty close and apparently to chance delicious recreation.

01:41:38.320 I mean, did you have breakfast?

01:41:39.120 I hope that actual black hole tastes as good.

01:41:40.920 Yeah.

01:41:45.200 All right.

01:41:46.220 It's dense, dense calories in a black hole.

01:41:48.160 By the way, speaking of dense calories, where's our ice cream?

01:41:50.080 We need more ice cream.

01:41:50.860 We still have four to try before the end of the show.

01:41:53.020 Four?

01:41:54.080 We've, I think so.

01:41:55.260 You know what's amazing about this is we've had a couple of spoonfuls of ice cream of all of these flavors, which I would say that probably comes to a normal bowl.

01:42:04.000 Maybe.

01:42:04.820 I am so full.

01:42:06.780 It's so good.

01:42:07.760 It's so heavy and good.

01:42:08.620 And it's so good.

01:42:10.340 We're trying Brooker's ice cream.

01:42:12.620 If I would have had a donut, it would have been good with it.

01:42:14.720 Oh, you have extra ones?

01:42:15.580 I've got one extra.

01:42:16.240 Brooker's Founders Flavors.

01:42:20.260 It's this family that is a fan of the show, and they decided to go into the ice cream making company, or ice cream making business, and tie it to our founding of our nation.

01:42:31.280 And it's delicious.

01:42:34.200 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:42:36.900 Are you one of those people who's eaten 5,000 pounds of ice cream in a morning?

01:42:41.480 Then maybe you need a sturdy chair, one that can support you in a lot of places you didn't need support earlier in the day.

01:42:47.200 Hey, friend, how about if I told you about the new X chair?

01:42:50.460 Oh, that's perfect.

01:42:56.340 So if you've had 10,000 calories of ice cream, you can go and sit in your X chair and fall fast asleep.

01:43:58.780 Make sure you watch this one.

01:44:00.820 So, a fan of our program, a listener to the show, Scott Bertrand, I met last night.

01:44:10.320 He flew into Dallas with this machine that he invented.

01:44:15.880 And it is, it's incredible.

01:44:19.240 He's a doctor.

01:44:20.420 He'd been working with veterans and people with cerebral palsy, people who have really, really bad backs and people in wheelchairs.

01:44:32.160 And he thought, you know, everybody always says when you have a bad back, oh, you got to do sit-ups.

01:44:37.580 And he's like, that's the worst thing for your back.

01:44:40.100 You know, you start doing sit-ups and everybody's like, well, that's bad for your back.

01:44:42.780 So, don't do the sit-ups.

01:44:43.640 Well, you're telling me to strengthen my core.

01:44:45.260 How do I do it?

01:44:45.840 And he said, I think it was, he was, was it golfers or something?

01:44:51.960 And he started to realize that, you know, the body, where in nature are you actually doing the sit-up?

01:45:01.080 When are you ever doing, when are you laying flat in nature and all of a sudden you just have to sit up and sit back and sit up and sit back?

01:45:07.320 It's like, that's not, that's just not a natural movement.

01:45:10.540 And, and to, to strengthen the core, if you're only strengthening the back or the stomach, what about the obliques and everything else?

01:45:18.860 So, he invented this machine and it sounds crazy, but he invented this machine and it's now being picked up by hospitals, especially veteran hospitals and, and, and, and rehab centers.

01:45:35.640 But it's now being picked up by sports medicine.

01:45:37.900 Some of the, some of the big football teams are starting to buy this thing.

01:45:41.140 It's amazing.

01:45:42.460 It's called all core three 60.

01:45:45.320 I did it.

01:45:46.140 And he said, uh, I'm going to kind of go easy on you.

01:45:49.480 And I'm like, look at me.

01:45:50.400 I'm the picture of health.

01:45:51.460 You can go hard.

01:45:52.580 Uh, and what you do is you sit in a chair and you're strapped in your legs and everything are strapped in.

01:45:57.500 And he said, if your legs begin to feel like they're working out, he said, you're doing it wrong.

01:46:01.540 All you have to do is sit up straight.

01:46:03.740 That's all you have to do.

01:46:04.800 You put your hands on your chest and you just sit up straight and your, your legs and your, your waist all strapped in.

01:46:10.400 Okay.

01:46:11.320 Then the things tilts between I'm sitting at 90 degrees straight.

01:46:16.080 It tilts between 90 and zero degrees.

01:46:20.020 Okay.

01:46:21.500 So you're either flat on your back sitting in this chair or you're, you're flat on your face facing the ground.

01:46:30.500 Okay.

01:46:31.080 But your job is to sit up straight and you have to sit up with the back of the chair.

01:46:36.380 Don't touch the back of the chair.

01:46:37.920 Just keep your shoulders.

01:46:39.020 Like, you know, so you're, you're sitting up straight the whole time.

01:46:42.200 So you're working the core as this thing spins around.

01:46:45.240 I only did it to 70 degrees and that was like, when it stopped, he said, ah, good sound is going to happen here soon.

01:46:52.140 And it was 10 minutes, five minutes, one way, five minutes, the other way.

01:46:56.620 It was the hardest workout I've ever had in my life.

01:46:59.620 And he said, you know, he was telling me some of the success stories of people who are in wheelchairs, who don't have any core strength to them.

01:47:08.440 They, uh, people who have like cerebral palsy, who have bad balance problems and how their lives are changing.

01:47:16.160 I believe it.

01:47:17.260 It is, it is an amazing, amazing invention.

01:47:20.880 And it goes very much into the line of Ray Kurzweil, where Ray Kurzweil said, you only need 10 minutes a day, but you have to work all of your muscles at the same time.

01:47:30.660 And he invented a machine, but that was like $15,000 and he does it and he does it 10 minutes a day.

01:47:36.860 And it works every muscle in your body.

01:47:38.420 This one works 50 muscles at the same time, all at the same time.

01:47:43.000 And it's amazing because you're not doing anything.

01:47:45.080 And by the time you get out of the chair, you're like, okay, that was good.

01:47:50.700 And you, all you did was sit there.

01:47:52.400 That's interesting.

01:47:52.860 It looks like it.

01:47:53.400 I mean, it almost looks like fun.

01:47:55.880 I mean, I'm sure it's not because it's exercise, but.

01:47:58.560 I tell you, it would, uh, it would be a machine that I would go and work out on.

01:48:05.020 Well, because you, you're just sitting there, right?

01:48:07.880 The Glenn Beck.

01:48:08.660 No, because you know what?

01:48:09.400 Honestly, I felt that I stood up and I felt that I felt that I've never felt it.

01:48:14.860 All the way around my core.

01:48:16.760 I felt every muscle.

01:48:18.880 Oh yeah.

01:48:19.120 And then a couple of days later, we'll be killing you.

01:48:21.040 Yeah.

01:48:21.420 Um, speaking of that.

01:48:23.220 Yeah.

01:48:23.720 Um, maybe we should have some more ice cream.

01:48:27.240 You know, it has been a tough week.

01:48:28.760 You know, we've done, I mean, we've solved the border thing.

01:48:31.240 We exposed Joe Biden.

01:48:32.760 Joe Biden.

01:48:33.280 Well, he didn't expose Joe Biden.

01:48:34.440 Joe Biden exposed himself.

01:48:36.160 And that's a nice flavor.

01:48:37.200 One is like a lava rock.

01:48:38.840 We have one is gray, like a lava rock.

01:48:40.660 It is their vanilla.

01:48:41.960 What?

01:48:42.440 So it's called black Madagascar vanilla ice cream.

01:48:44.860 This is Brooker's, Brooker's founding flavors.

01:48:47.780 It's also called Aaron Burr's murderous shot, which is a little dark, but I mean, I guess

01:48:51.580 the ice cream's dark.

01:48:52.840 Uh, so I'm going to eat, which one are you eating?

01:48:54.300 I'm trying the vanilla herb.

01:48:55.980 Okay.

01:48:56.320 I'm trying the other one.

01:48:57.020 What's the other one?

01:48:57.840 The other one is Sybil Luddington's heroin hash.

01:49:03.500 Does it have actual heroin in it?

01:49:05.340 No, I don't think so.

01:49:06.180 Has malted vanilla ice cream with peanut brittle and chocolate fudge swirl.

01:49:09.760 We're getting into the peanut butter areas, which is this my favorite place to explore.

01:49:13.180 It's not my place to explore, but that is really good.

01:49:16.220 Vanilla is really good.

01:49:18.240 Vanilla?

01:49:18.740 The black vanilla.

01:49:19.800 I'm not the type of guy who goes to an ice cream shop and orders the vanilla ice cream.

01:49:23.720 No.

01:49:24.320 I want, I want toppings and I want everything jammed in there.

01:49:27.940 I basically want to be eating a mouthful of candy.

01:49:30.160 That's cold.

01:49:31.320 What makes this?

01:49:32.120 What makes this black?

01:49:32.980 The, the bean that would be the brown on it.

01:49:35.220 Yeah.

01:49:35.280 No, it's the, it's a black Madagascar bean.

01:49:38.320 I don't know.

01:49:39.000 Who knows?

01:49:39.600 Who cares?

01:49:40.120 Why do we care about that?

01:49:40.840 Is it good?

01:49:41.240 It's good.

01:49:43.380 Oh my gosh.

01:49:44.140 That's, the vanilla is like really good.

01:49:48.000 Really good.

01:49:49.640 This is again from.

01:49:50.380 I've never tasted a vanilla quite like that.

01:49:52.140 Have you?

01:49:52.520 No, it's different.

01:49:53.460 It's very different.

01:49:54.140 You got to do something with a vanilla.

01:49:55.860 I mean, you know, I, I, I, I hear that vanilla is still the most popular flavor of ice cream

01:50:00.820 in America and it's like, I just don't, I mean, vanilla is fine.

01:50:03.400 It's fine.

01:50:04.400 But I mean, how can it be the most popular in a capitalist society, society with all these

01:50:09.140 amazing innovations?

01:50:10.400 Well, Hershey, Hershey makes vanilla good.

01:50:16.040 This peanut butter ice cream is.

01:50:17.660 No, I've mixed the two together.

01:50:21.060 Oh my God.

01:50:22.240 It's so good.

01:50:22.940 It's so overwhelming.

01:50:23.620 I just feel like I just sat on a core machine for the last half an hour, except it was working

01:50:30.100 the opposite.

01:50:30.780 Like it destroyed my core.

01:50:32.040 So I feel like I'm probably going to sit on a evacuation machine for a little while.

01:50:39.100 I don't think today to hear that while we were eating.

01:50:41.840 I mean, I'm just saying.

01:50:43.260 I don't.

01:50:44.140 Can we just, my core is like, okay, okay, dude, I give up.

01:50:47.960 I can't sit upright anymore.

01:50:49.760 I can't.

01:50:50.620 Uh, what a perfect, um, as you're talking about the evacuation machine, let's transfer

01:50:55.000 to Arthur Brooks, Brooks's podcast this weekend.

01:50:57.300 Now you might say that's not a very good transition.

01:50:59.740 And I would agree.

01:51:01.080 Uh, we talked about Arthur Brooks just a minute ago.

01:51:03.020 No, Arthur Brooks, in case you don't know who he is, he went to college.

01:51:06.240 You've got some black Madagascar ice cream on your mustache.

01:51:08.300 Just, I can't take you seriously.

01:51:09.800 Well, I can't take you seriously ever.

01:51:11.460 Why do I have?

01:51:12.280 No.

01:51:12.760 Oh, I'm just an idiot.

01:51:13.600 Okay.

01:51:13.820 Yeah.

01:51:14.140 Uh, so yeah, he's, I mean, he's a, well, relatively well known.

01:51:18.380 I mean, he's a big guy in the conservative circles, but he's been able to cross those

01:51:22.060 lines and convince people in the middle and on the left that things like capitalism actually

01:51:27.160 work.

01:51:27.660 I think he has that skill in him because he's an artist.

01:51:31.440 Do you know what he went to school for?

01:51:32.620 No.

01:51:33.740 The French horn.

01:51:35.860 Really?

01:51:36.580 I did think he was.

01:51:36.880 He played the French horn.

01:51:37.880 He went to school and I bet his dad was like, oh, that's money well spent there, son.

01:51:42.020 And he wanted to be a professional French hornist.

01:51:45.440 And so he went, I think that's the right way to say it.

01:51:49.000 And so he, uh, he went on tour.

01:51:52.000 He ends up, I think in India and he stays in India for a while.

01:51:58.080 And then he lives abroad, I think in maybe Spain and he stays in, in Spain and he's playing

01:52:04.600 the French horn.

01:52:05.320 But at the time he's seeing, you know, how bad things are in, in India and how bad things

01:52:12.780 are in Spain and the, the socialism that's happening.

01:52:16.060 And he decides to go, I think he goes back to school and, uh, he decides to start the

01:52:21.740 American enterprise, uh, Institute.

01:52:23.860 He does that for a while.

01:52:25.180 He just quit.

01:52:26.280 And now he's going to be a professor at Harvard and it couldn't be a better professor at

01:52:32.280 Harvard than, than Arthur Brooks.

01:52:34.580 I spent the day, uh, talking to him for this podcast.

01:52:39.000 Here's a clip of what's coming out tomorrow.

01:52:41.500 We're the Americans.

01:52:42.560 We always were, but it's a hard time.

01:52:47.140 It's a hard time because after a financial crisis and all the stresses and strains, the

01:52:53.560 belief that people in Washington, people who are in charge have left us behind.

01:52:57.620 We get a dignity gap.

01:52:59.920 There's a lot of despair when you travel around this country and that despair is metastasized

01:53:04.380 into something really dangerous, which is contempt.

01:53:07.980 The belief that somebody who disagrees with you is utterly worthless.

01:53:11.320 The populism in Washington, the despair in the country, the, the fact that economic growth

01:53:17.060 has largely been focused on just the top 20% of the income distribution.

01:53:20.520 This is kind of made up nasty mix of circumstances and ecosystem.

01:53:24.920 That's really dangerous.

01:53:25.740 Now put in social media and anonymity, all this together has created this environment that

01:53:33.000 we see today where we, we're still Americans.

01:53:35.420 We're just not our best selves.

01:53:38.360 Are we, are we, are we misjudging each other?

01:53:43.260 For instance, the, the border.

01:53:45.000 I, I'm convinced that the cry for a border wall is not really a cry for a border wall.

01:53:53.420 It's a cry.

01:53:54.540 It's, it's a, I have trusted you to take care of our problems.

01:54:00.660 I've trusted you that you cared about somebody coming in with ill intent, somebody coming in

01:54:07.100 with drugs, um, people coming in and, and doing nefarious things.

01:54:12.160 I trusted you for so long and you keep telling me you want to fix it.

01:54:15.880 And then you don't, I want a wall, not because I'm afraid of America, uh, because of Mexicans.

01:54:21.500 I want a wall because I don't believe you actually mean this.

01:54:27.300 And if I don't have a permanent wall, you can do whatever you want.

01:54:31.880 But when the next guy comes in or when you don't have to be reelected, you're going to

01:54:36.420 stop taking care of these things.

01:54:38.000 And, and I think a lot of the frustration that's happening that is being, being made

01:54:44.680 into, Oh, you're a racist is actually, I don't trust the government anymore.

01:54:52.940 I don't trust people in power anymore.

01:54:56.240 And I want something fixed that used to be common sense.

01:55:01.380 You know, there are a lot of issues like this that happen in times of real political

01:55:06.120 polarization where it's not about the specific political case at hand.

01:55:10.320 These are avatar issues where, you know, we'll see, by the way, the left on the political

01:55:15.300 left in America, we're talking effectively about open borders.

01:55:18.480 You know, the, the democratic party doesn't want open borders.

01:55:21.320 They've never talked about open borders before, but the reason they are is to be in contrast

01:55:26.420 to what they think Trump is talking about.

01:55:28.040 And the people who support Donald Trump are saying what they're saying about the wall to

01:55:31.460 be in contrast to what they believe the other side believes.

01:55:34.940 And, you know, in these times of incredible polarization, we, we do theater.

01:55:38.520 This is kind of, and again, I understand it's important to have sovereignty.

01:55:42.360 I understand it's important to have rule of law, but a lot of the times in the discussions

01:55:46.460 that we have, we're trying to set ourselves apart from the other side.

01:55:50.260 We're actually making issues that have traditionally not been at the center of the American conversation

01:55:55.060 into those that are, because we can get the daylight, the maximum amount of daylight between

01:55:59.620 the two sides.

01:56:00.260 And I think that's a perfect example.

01:56:05.340 That's Albert Brooks.

01:56:06.500 Sorry, Albert.

01:56:07.340 I keep calling him Albert.

01:56:08.740 Arthur Brooks.

01:56:10.680 And he's going to be a part of our podcast on Saturday, tomorrow.

01:56:15.540 Make sure you get it wherever podcasts are found.

01:56:17.960 Make sure you subscribe and rate and review.

01:56:20.860 That helps other people discover it.

01:56:22.520 All right.

01:56:24.000 Let me tell you our sponsor this half hour.

01:56:25.520 It's LifeLock.

01:56:26.760 Scammers are out there.

01:56:27.720 It's tax season.

01:56:28.760 Monday is tax day.

01:56:30.240 Oh, man.

01:56:30.600 I can't wait to feel so charitable on Monday.

01:56:32.980 How about you, Stu?

01:56:34.120 How much money did you give to charity this year?

01:56:36.160 Oh, I had a nice big fat.

01:56:38.060 Well, it's not right.

01:56:38.700 I didn't write the check.

01:56:39.460 They're just going to suck it out of my bank account on Monday.

01:56:42.020 Yeah.

01:56:42.320 And I'm really excited about it.

01:56:44.080 I had to sign the forms and stuff last night and mail all this stuff out.

01:56:47.640 And Matt, man, that's a giant chunk.

01:56:49.460 I could have done something else with it.

01:56:50.760 Yeah.

01:56:51.120 Could have.

01:56:51.400 I mean, I get the opportunity to pay taxes four times a year.

01:56:54.880 Oh, the quarterly thing.

01:56:55.740 Yeah.

01:56:55.900 I love that.

01:56:57.020 They just vacuum and just Hoover stuff up four times a year.

01:57:01.380 So I get to feel charitable four times a year.

01:57:03.300 Do you want to?

01:57:03.840 I mean, you can publicly ask for this.

01:57:05.320 What if they were to do it every month, like 12 times a year?

01:57:08.260 Maybe every day they just suck money out of your account.

01:57:10.500 Wouldn't that be so much fun?

01:57:11.420 You can have that excitement every day.

01:57:12.960 See how much they're going to take now.

01:57:14.200 I love that to do good things with.

01:57:16.180 Oh, yeah.

01:57:16.460 Things that I know I support.

01:57:18.420 Anyway, if you get an email from the IRS, it's not an email from the IRS.

01:57:23.920 Most likely the IRS is not sending emails with attachments that you have to open.

01:57:29.680 This is a scam and the the subject line will say tax account transcript or something like that.

01:57:38.380 Don't open it.

01:57:39.400 It's a scam and they're trying to steal your identity.
