Glenn Beck talks about the N-word, Howard Stern's big hat, and why we need to stop Howard Stern. Glenn Beck is a conservative radio host and host of the radio show "The Glenn Beck Show" on SiriusXM Radio. He is a frequent contributor to the New York Times, CNN, CNN Worldwide, and many other media outlets.
00:15:46.820Because we'll come for you, the apex predator, because we just ate the polar bear.
00:15:53.920So they will come after you wave after wave to make it harder and harder for people who like you to explain because they don't have the context.
00:16:05.500It's not it's not it's not in a viral video.
00:16:09.340And if you put together a viral video, it will be it will be censored, dropped or seriously algorithmed out of existence because you are going behind not only a paywall for Spotify, but you are now entering the digital ghetto.
00:16:31.820And they will put you behind a wall and they've already started to do it.
00:16:36.440So their goal is to take you out and they don't care about anything.
00:19:05.480And then they started seeing the war on the streets.
00:19:08.460And they're like, you know, the first responders.
00:19:09.940I think we should probably take care of the first responders, too.
00:19:12.620And what they do is they pay off any mortgages to lift the financial burden of families that have lost a loved one who has been standing up for us, either in our community or across the world.
00:19:27.960Our nation's heroes who put their lives on the line for us, our communities, our country, our values, the people who need our help now.
00:19:38.080Help these heroes and their families join Tunnel to Towers on its mission to do good in their honor.
00:20:44.260But they're power groups that make tons of money and are working hand in hand with the left.
00:20:52.000And, you know, whether that's the Hillary Clintons of the world or the Joe Bidens or the Democratic Party or people that used to work for the Democratic Party.
00:22:58.160Please shape them into the best human beings that you can.
00:23:02.520And you might be thinking you're doing the best.
00:23:04.800I have to tell you about my dinner table conversation last night.
00:23:07.780But there are, there's always more you can do.
00:23:11.800If you don't have the Tuttle Twins right now, I don't know what you're using to teach your kids the values and principles and about the free market.
00:24:21.980What Bernie stands for is a guy who, look, you could dig up dirt on every single human being that's ever existed.
00:24:28.420If you catch them in their worst moment and you magnify those moments and you cut out everything else and you only display those worst moments.
00:24:36.140That said, you can't find very many with Bernie.
00:24:40.300He's been insanely consistent his entire life.
00:24:43.860He's basically been saying the same thing, been for the same thing his whole life.
00:24:48.500And that, in and of itself, is a very powerful structure to operate from.
00:26:33.720Midas Touch says it's staffed solely by the Missilist brothers or whatever, uh, with the primary goals of protecting American democracy, defeating Trumpism, and holding Republicans accountable.
00:36:13.620I also wanted to be transparent in setting the expectation that in order to achieve our goal of becoming a global audio platform, these kind of disputes will be inevitable.
00:36:26.680But you don't want them to be those of you on the left.
00:36:29.900One of the things that I have been thinking about is what additional steps we can take to further balance creator expression with user safety.
00:36:39.960Dude, you're Spotify, you're not making chainsaws.
00:36:45.780I've asked our teams to expand the number of outside experts we consult on these efforts, and we look forward to sharing more details.
00:50:00.520So, it will be, we'll put it in our vault.
00:50:02.840So, when this madness ends, you'll be able to post it online and see it.
00:50:06.920Anyway, the, we played it on Friday, and Friday's show has been removed from the internet.
00:50:13.780Because, I mean, it was a copyright violation, and they, you know, they lobbied Twitter, which means they just served Twitter with a piece of paper from an attorney saying copyright violation, or you lobbied Twitter.
00:51:12.500To choose an athlete from the Uyghur minority.
00:51:15.100We are going to burn you alive with the torch.
00:51:17.960It is an in-your-face response to those Western nations, including the U.S., who have called this Chinese treatment of that group genocide and diplomatically boycott of these games.
00:51:33.660There will be much discussion about this moment.
00:54:07.060We can do this together, says China, the night before they announced with Russia a new world order
00:54:14.740where, that the world is led by China and Russia and against the United States.
00:54:19.040Cause I think that's the Olympic spirit that we were looking for, you know, I think that's it, you know, and I, and I think, I think Savannah, I think she's, she's great.
00:54:30.400She's wonderful that she didn't, you know, apparently, cause I didn't watch it, apparently didn't point out, you know, that whole unity thing that we just heard from president G, uh, last night kind of tainted a little bit.
00:54:44.920I mean, it was tainted for the run, you know, that part of the slave running to light the Olympic torch kind of tainted there, but I didn't mention it, but I think I'm going to have to mention, Hey, let's all come together, you know, as a world and let's just all compete.
00:55:01.820And, and we need to spread this Olympic, uh, spirit.
00:55:32.880And your coverage of the Olympics where China is coming out and, and saying, we're just, we're not torturing people.
00:55:42.920Uh, even though we clearly are, and we're laughing at everybody's face, uh, but we're just enslaving the entire world, you know, with our money and making everybody bow to us.
00:55:55.960I think that is a noble, noble, I think that's a noble goal that you're pursuing there.
00:57:53.980If you have high interest credit cards, which I can guarantee if you have a credit card, you're most likely paying a number that you just don't even want to look at.
00:58:54.200But, on Tuesday, Jen Psaki said that media companies need to do more to stop the spread of misinformation and disinformation,
00:59:02.700which is a lot like the call that she and the White House made in July for Facebook to remove posts containing vaccine misinformation.
00:59:12.780And that was, you know, that also, you know, led to the comments regarding the backlash towards podcast host Joe Rogan, where they said, you know,
00:59:28.780I hope that, you know, all major tech platforms and all major news sources, for that matter, be responsible and vigilant.
00:59:37.160Well, and the Surgeon General coming out in an interview saying that these tech giants have an important role to play in curating information and that we have to root out misinformation.
00:59:51.260Well, that's, I mean, four examples are bad.
00:59:53.000And it's not just what the government can do.
00:59:55.000This is about companies and individuals, you know, recognizing the only way to get past information, misinformation, is to be careful about what we say, you know.
01:00:04.640So, and that preceded, you know, or followed, you know, his July 15th, his misinformation advisory that was intended to instruct tech companies on how to handle those misinformation.
01:00:21.620And then there was Saki urging Facebook and other social media platforms to create a robust enforcement strategy that builds their properties and provides transparency about the rules and faster action against harmful posts, you know, just to promote quality information sources, you know.
01:00:39.780So, I mean, look, there's some exceptions to.
01:00:43.000And then Joe Biden also came out saying that Facebook should do something about misinformation because they're killing people.
01:00:59.860And then he, then he, in January, also came out and said, I make a special appeal to social media companies and media outlets.
01:01:06.460Please deal with the misinformation and disinformation, you know, on your shows.
01:01:11.040Well, if you ignore some of the National Institute of Health, the director there said, you know, this is just like yelling fire in a crowded theater.
01:01:21.920You know, are you really allowed to do that without some consequence?
01:01:25.680Someone doesn't know the history of that particular court case, but that's a whole situation.
01:01:30.400In May, in May, the White House came out and said, Saki came out and said that we shouldn't amplify certain speech.
01:01:40.100You know, when they were talking about Donald Trump being banned, you know, certain speech, you know, this shouldn't be amplified by these tech tech giants.
01:01:47.420So, but other than that, there's no, they've stayed on the sidelines.
01:05:27.580The founder of Bridgewater, Ray Dalio, it's a big hedge fund.
01:05:32.440He came out last week and said the U.S. appears to be, I'm quoting, on a classic path towards some form of civil war amid the dangerous combination of large deficits, high taxes, inflation and gaps in wealth and values that lead to political polarization.
01:05:51.360When that happens, at the same time as there are foreign powers that are becoming strong enough to challenge the leading world power that it is encountering, this civil war dynamic, it is especially a risky period.
01:06:06.020That period, I believe, we are now in.
01:06:09.660Gosh, you know, it sounds like it sounds almost like we'll be at each other's throats and the socialists and the communists and the Islamists will all be in league.
01:06:23.000By the way, speaking of Islamist, I think another hats off to Joe Biden, who released another 25 billion to the Iranians over the weekend.
01:07:03.700And then that guy, whoever he was, thank God they discredited him a long time ago, said that that'll be creating turmoil here in the United States.
01:07:36.940The biggest question is how much the system will bend before it breaks.
01:07:40.760History shows the biggest risk to democracies is that they produce such fragmented and antagonistic decision making that they are ineffective and disorderly, which leads to bad results in revolutions.
01:11:15.480I mean, because I know there was a big outcry of people who were like trying to silence, you know, rappers and stuff because they were saying bad sexual things.
01:13:13.220I think we have to agree on some basic level of truth because this ain't working.
01:13:21.260Part of some of your old advice was ringing through my head this weekend when I was looking at some of the stories about the Canadian truckers and and there's been this attack from the media.
01:13:32.580Oh, there we saw one Nazi flag at one rally.
01:13:35.460And, you know, there's that's sort of the typical way they go.
01:13:37.820So what they're saying now, and I obviously am not up in Canada.
01:13:41.240I haven't seen this for myself, but the media is reporting that the truckers now are doing things like, you know, blocking streets and beeping their horns in the overnights and neighborhoods to wake people up.
01:13:54.780And if that's true, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
01:13:59.980I don't believe that's right because you don't want to lose the people.
01:14:14.320I remember Pat always talks about this protest in Houston when he was down there where the people, the trash collectors unions jumped, dumped a bunch of trash in the middle of busy intersections to show how important they were and just pissed everybody off.
01:19:13.100Just what went through my mind was, how long is that going to last?
01:19:18.280Meaning, me being able to say those things to you.
01:19:21.020If you're a member of the audience, pretty good.
01:19:25.480Pretty good chance you're a charitable person.
01:19:28.180And we have seen proof of that over and over and over again.
01:19:32.300And while I know that you can trust the charities that I associate with, the sad truth is, fake charities are becoming more and more prevalent.
01:19:40.740And they're an easy way for cyber criminals to steal your money and your identity.
01:19:45.620It's a very good way to help protect you and your identity by getting LifeLock.
01:19:52.620Your information is at risk a million different ways.
01:19:57.980And quite honestly, with everything that is going on in the world, do you have time to worry about this?
01:20:07.100And if they miss something or something's already afoot, they have a whole, you know, group of people there that if they do find a problem, they all go to work to fix it with you.
01:20:17.700So I want you to call LifeLock now, 25% off at 1-800-LIFELOCK, 1-800-LIFELOCK or LifeLock.com.
01:20:26.580That's LifeLock.com, 25% off now, 1-800-LIFELOCK.
01:25:25.680He said last week, U.S. appears to be on a classic path toward some sort of civil war amid dangerous combination of large deficits, high taxes, inflation, gaps, and wealth and values.
01:25:36.900When all of that happens at the same time, there are foreign powers that are becoming strong enough to challenge the leading world power that is encountering this civil dynamic.
01:26:04.640Making some people too afraid to speak up.
01:26:08.240The biggest question is how much the system will bend before it breaks.
01:26:13.000Now, let me give you some other things that he said because this is what he says is really leading to it.
01:26:17.660I agree with almost everything he just said there.
01:26:21.300We are headed towards something, and I prefer to think it's the Great Awakening.
01:26:27.400He says the current financial conditions and irreconcilable differences in desires and values are consistent with the ingredients leading to some form of civil war.
01:27:15.800He says, not knowing what is true because of distortions in the media and propaganda increases, and people become more polarized, emotional, and politically motivated.
01:27:27.240So, he's got distortions in the media.
01:27:32.380But there also will be distortions in social media as well from our side, or people purporting to be on our side.
01:27:43.960For instance, let me just say this about The Great Reset.
01:27:47.280By the way, available now on audiobook, and it's really good.
01:27:52.900I know I was there, but I read it, and it's really, really good.
01:27:58.100Anyway, you can get it at Kindle or Audible or wherever you get your books on audio.
01:28:04.960So, the propaganda can come, for instance, like on our side with The Great Reset.
01:28:13.460There are going to be people, some of them intentionally, others just don't know, that will buy into conspiracy theories, and then you start blurring the truth.
01:28:26.440It's very important that you don't add on.
01:28:30.080Just the stuff you know, the stuff like in our book that is all footnoted, you have to have the proof.
01:28:38.100Don't speak out beyond what you know to be true.
01:29:00.480We can't be like the left, because that's what they've taught us in history books.
01:29:04.660They don't ever quote the people anymore.
01:29:06.960They don't quote the people that knew the people.
01:29:10.180They quote scholars that lived hundreds of years later that claim they know something different than the people who lived in that time.
01:29:23.380When causes that people are passionately behind are more important to them than the system for making decisions, the system is in jeopardy.
01:31:08.600When causes that people are passionately behind are more important to them than the system for making decisions, the system is in jeopardy.
01:31:17.240Well, I'm telling you right now, the system is in jeopardy because of causes that people are passionately behind that is more important to them than the system outlined in the Constitution.
01:32:28.280But if there's somebody that's standing up, this is not an extremist position, for the Bill of Rights, for the three branches of this government, for reasonable spending,
01:32:41.480and they're not for some globalist agenda, then you know what?
01:32:49.220They're probably not going to lose because that's where a lot of people are.
01:32:53.960When you say gains by extremists, quote, or extremists slash populists, wait a minute.
01:36:57.280I'm going to do a series of shows on this program just on that problem.
01:37:03.160Because we have to, we have to know where do we get meaning?
01:37:10.600The Supreme Court will make decisions on contentious issues that people are willing to fight over.
01:37:16.040There's a big risk that each side will view the decisions as unfairly made by the other side and not accept them, which leads to tests of power.
01:37:25.280You know, can you think of a time when the Republicans went and fought?
01:37:31.980I mean, I firmly believe that abortion is murder.
01:37:39.120But I don't go out with guns and shoot abortion doctors.
01:50:42.400Hold it, hold it, not to the Holocaust, but guests who lost their broadcasting job, in fact, were cut off in the middle of the speech the day the Chancellor became the Fuhrer.
01:51:06.660And so, one of the things you may remember from your history when the Nazis were coming to power, again, at the beginning, and these are long roads, you don't want to take steps down those roads.
01:51:16.720But they would, when the Nazis would beat somebody up in the street, the SS or the SA would beat someone up in the street in full public view of everyone surrounding, they weren't doing that because of that person, per se.
01:51:33.280And their plan was never to beat up every single person that ever said anything bad about them.
01:51:39.540The plan was to beat the person up in the streets in full view of everyone else so they'd all know not to say something next time.
01:51:48.620There would always be somebody who would have that reminder, oh my gosh, remember when that guy, we saw that guy get beat up in the streets?
01:53:31.860An out-of-context collection of somebody saying words that largely were quoted, now you have the full understanding of the narrative around Joe Rogan?
01:55:01.640And once they see the mob, when they've seen the mob destroy others who were just trying to help somebody out who was down being beaten up, that's when usually people are like, oh, yeah, I don't know anything about it.
01:55:15.240And now I understand the full context.
01:56:45.560Oh, all of these problems would stop if we could just get a digital currency.
01:56:49.940That way, you know, they could the Fed could just say, hey, if you're listening to Joe Rogan and we're tracking because we know who's listening to Joe.
01:56:59.280Joe Rogan, your currency is not going to work.
