00:00:00.000
so as we've been we've been looking at what's happening with Donald Trump and the the trade
00:00:17.000
war if you will what's happening in North Korea South Korea China there might be a real method
00:00:24.700
to his madness here that seems to be working he's been known as a counter puncher when it
00:00:29.760
comes to domestic politics you hit him he hits you twice as hard but when it comes to foreign policy
00:00:35.420
his his strategy seems to be more akin to I'm going to punch you hard first and then we'll talk
00:00:42.140
about it there are two kinds of people who hate this sort of approach those who follow the stock
00:00:48.060
market and those who follow foreign policy and the biggest reason for this is the fear of the
00:00:54.960
unpredictable you you want to be unpredictable as a president but a predictable unpredictability
00:01:02.780
is preferred we have to know that things are stable if stockbrokers and money managers can't predict the
00:01:10.140
future you end up seeing what's currently happening on the Dow and that is one day it's down 700 points
00:01:15.120
the next day it's back up 600 and yesterday went back down over 300 and much of this has to do
00:01:21.200
with Trump's new trade policy is he pushing for tariffs or is it some sort of negotiating tactic
00:01:28.580
what's he doing I've always said that I've wanted a president that had a twitchy eye but not one that
00:01:37.300
you know the good guys didn't understand but he's got a twitchy eye and everybody is looking at him
00:01:43.840
going I don't know he just might do this now the same questions are being asked between nation states
00:01:50.980
and men and women in foreign policy circles for the first time in I don't know decades at least
00:01:58.760
the world has absolutely no idea what we're doing in Asia the once predictable United States has suddenly
00:02:05.540
become unpredictable and that is scaring the crap out of countries like China South Korea Japan and most
00:02:13.060
of all North Korea it's kind of good if you happen to be in a boat right now and you're cruising across
00:02:22.200
the Pacific go out on the top deck if the wind is coming from the west that smell you might be smelling
00:02:30.080
can only be described as one thing and that is fear fear has both China and North Korea wondering
00:02:41.740
on Monday an armed train left North Korean capital it was granted unprecedented entry into China on its
00:02:50.660
way to Beijing military and police escort accompanied the entire way and at the same time all the news
00:02:57.380
regarding North Korea was immediately censored on Chinese news and on the internet it was a total and
00:03:03.980
complete blackout this wouldn't be able to happen in the United States but you have two communist
00:03:09.900
countries so what's going on here well as you watch perhaps a lot as the train pulled out of Beijing
00:03:21.840
yesterday the news leaked that Kim Jong-un himself had crept out of his hermit hole and made his first
00:03:28.060
ever foreign visit now I don't think it was because he said you know what I want to see China I have a
00:03:35.860
feeling it was China that said get your butt here now what made him do it such a dramatic and secretive
00:03:45.460
trip what made the president of China accept this highly unprecedented visit at this point of time
00:03:52.280
one word and that is fear fear of the unknown fear of what's coming next it's causing some
00:04:00.720
seriously dramatic changes in Asia North Korea has agreed to meet the US president for the first time
00:04:07.720
ever they have no idea whether they're coming or going and at the same time sanctions are crippling the
00:04:14.720
country China is realizing that they're putting on they've been put on the sidelines as a potential US North
00:04:21.000
Korea agreement and they're kind of freaking out at the same time Trump's tariffs are being used to
00:04:29.980
corner China into some sort of agreement that they don't like while all of this is going down the US
00:04:37.120
just finalized a trade deal with South Korea that keeps a South Korean tariff on steel in place
00:04:44.260
upholds a standing tariff on South Korean trucks and it opens the auto market in the country for Ford
00:04:52.620
and General Motors in trade terms this is equivalent of you know dunking on your opponent shattering the
00:04:59.800
the backboard and then landing on top of the guy you just dunked on I have that one right Stu in some
00:05:07.380
ways to do that's close for me we have said we're going to criticize the president when he's wrong
00:05:14.360
and there's plenty to criticize but acknowledge the times when he's doing things that are working
00:05:20.200
and so far I don't know what it means for the future but right now the punch first negotiate later
00:05:28.200
strategy appears to be working now let's see what the future holds
00:05:34.340
it's Wednesday March 28th this is the Glenn Beck program so what do you think Stu what do you think
00:05:51.040
what do you think is happening I you know with the North Korea part of it yeah the North Korea
00:05:57.160
the China the South Korea I mean you know the North Korea thing is is it's obviously too too early to tell
00:06:03.660
I mean yes the president's been tough on North Korea and it may show some good results we don't know I
00:06:09.000
mean you know all of their biggest missile tests and nuclear tests have happened under this tougher policy
00:06:14.040
so it's it's hard to know you know if it stops for a long time it's very consistent with what they've done
00:06:19.420
with past presidents which is in flame and flame and flame negotiate negotiate negotiate repeat
00:06:23.900
but you don't think I mean I think Kim Jong-un was was summoned to China I think he was told get on
00:06:31.900
your old-fashioned timey you know steam train and uh and get here yeah I mean that's obviously
00:06:38.300
speculation uh you know where that's kind of all you can do with this sort of thing it was speculation
00:06:42.600
that whether he was even there or not for most of the media which is such a strange thing they're
00:06:46.960
like why there's a really old train that pulled into China I think it must be him who else would
00:06:51.560
take a long old crappy train and it turned out to be true uh yeah so who knows right with that stuff
00:06:57.900
um you know it's a uh you know you hope for the best I think a lot of these things have uh
00:07:04.280
long-term uh questions on them and I think I think most of the people in the White House are aware of
00:07:10.700
that yeah they know who they're talking to the long term is uh you know what happens if you turn
00:07:17.920
the world against you you know uh and so you have to you have to be careful but Donald Trump is right
00:07:25.340
on one thing and that is we've been we've been played by the rest of the world for a long time
00:07:30.060
you know we've been taken advantage of I think uh for a long time we have we have also taken
00:07:37.020
advantage ourself yeah it's worked out fairly well for the lone superpower in the world yes you know
00:07:42.280
yes uh but uh we're we're very predictable and everybody knows how to play us because the state
00:07:48.240
department has been run basically with the same kind of ideas since the uh you know since world war ii
00:07:55.040
really yeah and only Ronald Reagan broke that he broke with the um with the state department now
00:08:02.360
Donald Trump is breaking it as well and it could work out really well for the United States it also
00:08:09.780
because he is also taking on our allies it also may not work out so well in in the long run but
00:08:18.960
it's refreshing to see a new new approach yeah I mean you know it's it's interesting too that the
00:08:25.180
new approach is being executed largely by former Bush officials right it's just kind of interesting he
00:08:30.900
surrounded himself with very establishment foreign policy types which has worked out pretty well
00:08:35.560
the Bush team yeah it really is uh or or you know off that Bush tree for sure um but again you know
00:08:41.840
they're competent people I mean you know we've praised a lot of those appointments they've they've been
00:08:45.920
really solid uh in that realm um and you know Bolton coming in I think is is is positive I think you
00:08:52.820
know we like uh you know uh the the new secretary of state uh we've you know we love obviously
00:08:58.960
Mattis we've been very positive on so I I think the difference is do you remember when George Bush
00:09:04.600
said shock and awe shock and awe is coming full force and might of the United States of America is
00:09:10.120
coming and so we all gathered around the television and we were all a little worried about what is
00:09:14.320
coming and then we saw and we went that's it there's no way to live up to that build up there's
00:09:21.080
no way no the full force and might of the United States of America you expect you know we've all
00:09:25.820
seen the footage of the big mushroom clouds we know what that is and I don't believe that that's
00:09:29.800
what we were looking for but we were looking for something a little a little more than what we saw
00:09:34.440
um and I'm sure it was a little different on the receiving end than it was for us sitting in our
00:09:40.020
living rooms watching it going I don't know what's on channel four um so uh so uh but but if Donald
00:09:50.260
Trump said the full force and might of the United States and it's going to be shock and awe I think
00:09:57.740
people around the world will look at that differently you know I think people around the world would go
00:10:04.240
he he he he he he might launch nukes and that is something that you know when your back is against
00:10:14.020
the wall you don't ever want to bluff but you you want people to question whether or not you will do
00:10:23.740
it you want to have enough credibility to say I'm I'm going in this direction and people to believe
00:10:31.560
you now the the one the one thing that you need to uh to do crazy things in today's world is to be a
00:10:39.060
little bit crazy or to be known as a little bit crazy yeah I mean deterrence only works when you
00:10:43.500
believe the other side might do it uh to quote the great documentary spies like us a weapon unused
00:10:49.740
is a useless weapon uh and it's like if you're if you don't ever get to the point where you think
00:10:54.780
the other side will ever pull the trigger on it I mean look at the red line stuff with Syria you know
00:10:59.280
I mean the reason why Obama was so ineffective on foreign policy is nobody believed he'd ever do
00:11:05.000
anything other than an occasional drone strike or something like that no one believed it uh and you
00:11:10.900
they believed Reagan you know they believe Trump I think they believe Trump might do something I
00:11:17.420
think they believe Trump more than Reagan I think they fear uh the the outer bounds of what's possible
00:11:26.220
with Trump right where we're with Reagan I think they believed nuclear war I mean I think he was he
00:11:32.120
he would use it as a deterrent but they believed he would use it as a deterrent here's the difference I
00:11:36.760
think I think and I could be wrong I think the world looked at Ronald Reagan some the left looked
00:11:43.780
at him as a crazy man but the right looked at him as a righteous warrior you know what I mean somebody
00:11:50.780
who said communism is evil and it's going to be destroyed and so they knew they knew what he believed
00:11:58.860
in the core of his being is an ideological fuel correct and there was that fuel that would would not ever
00:12:05.320
go out and he would not allow it to be extinguished and if he was pushed into a corner that's what was
00:12:12.360
going to drive him I think the world looks at Donald Trump as uh pro-american but just nuts enough
00:12:23.880
to be able to do it and it is unlike Ronald Reagan it was an ideological thing yeah this is it's not an
00:12:30.340
ideological thing with with Donald Trump he believes in America and he wants America to be great and and
00:12:36.820
to win but it's not this is clearly evil this is clearly good he's just that is what I want and that's
00:12:46.760
what I'm going to take and and and so you don't know what you you don't really know what's driving
00:12:53.340
him does that make sense to you do you think that's accurate or how the world sees it and I think they see
00:12:58.400
it too as you know they they definitely play to his ego a lot and I think that's a standard thing the media
00:13:05.340
does for example the New York Times goes in there and compliments him 500 times and gets all these quotes
00:13:09.320
out of him when they have these interviews and they you know that they that is a something we've seen
00:13:14.460
from world leaders consistently they've they've consistently tried to frame Trump in winning these battles
00:13:20.300
um because they think that will lead to better treatment from from the administration I mean I
00:13:28.240
think that's largely been you know probably proven true uh but still you know that's what I think he
00:13:34.380
wants yeah and I and I I will tell you I think this is what the average person wants um if you watch
00:13:40.040
I think that's true if you watch the average American I should say I don't think the average
00:13:44.220
South Korean probably not as much on that um but uh if you watch last night if you saw Roseanne
00:13:50.280
yeah and now I don't know how a woman who actually called for the I think beheading or hanging
00:13:56.220
seriously called for the hanging of all of the bankers um a devout communist I don't know how she's
00:14:04.160
allowed to be on TV again but she she took on her Roseanne character last night and I think she
00:14:10.340
actually spoke to the American people both left and right and vocalized can we play the clip Sarah that
00:14:17.720
is where she's talking to her sister and she says you know look he talked about jobs and that was
00:14:25.080
really important that's uh yeah Roseanne on why she voted for Trump yeah how could you have voted for
00:14:30.700
him Roseanne he talked about jobs Jackie he said he'd shake things up I mean this might come as a
00:14:36.860
complete shock to you but we almost lost our house the way things are going have you looked at the news
00:14:41.200
because now things are worse not on the real news oh please you just can't stand for anybody to have
00:14:49.420
their own opinions about anything can you so you tell them how stupid they are all the time and you
00:14:55.920
get them to question what they believe in their heart is the right thing to do until they make some
00:15:01.460
enormous mistake that tears America apart and brings the world to the brink of nuclear apocalypse
00:15:07.960
so I'm guessing this isn't about Becky's eggs anymore you kept saying what a disaster it would
00:15:15.920
be if she got elected and how I wasn't seeing the big picture and how everything was rigged and then
00:15:20.560
I go into the booth and I voted for Jill Stein who's Jill Stein some doctor you did such a good job of
00:15:32.660
making me doubt myself and feel so stupid that I choked which helped get him elected well the
00:15:39.580
important thing is that you voted it is this is an amazing thing here's an avowed socialist really
00:15:48.300
almost communist who is is in real life pro Donald Trump it's a weird bed bedfellow but she is speaking
00:15:57.780
the words that the media doesn't understand when she was sitting at that table in that kitchen of
00:16:04.360
the Conners that we've all grown up seeing when she was sitting at that table and she said you know
00:16:09.760
we almost lost our house that was one of the most important lines I think of the entire show because a
00:16:16.620

00:19:05.580
that's premiering tonight jack barsky is going to be on with us because i don't know if you saw this
00:19:09.180
do you remember when i said that um the the uh hyperspeed weapons are i thought was a was a the
00:19:20.680
russians playing us just like ronald reagan played russia with star wars we didn't have laser weapons
00:19:28.220
do they have hypersonic weapons they say yes interesting story came out yesterday that china
00:19:36.520
is now saying that they have hypersonic weapons as well so the story that i read from from the you
00:19:47.140
know military industrial complex was they have them and it's an arms race and we are way behind on
00:19:56.220
hypersonic weapons that's exactly what happened during the 1980s that collapsed the soviet union
00:20:04.760
is this real or is this a replay of ronald reagan in reverse on us with russia and now china
00:20:18.140
this is the glenn back program jack barsky now an american was born in east germany right after world
00:20:33.880
war ii and he was recruited by the kgb when he was a college student to become a spy he spent 10
00:20:39.460
years as an undercover agent in the united states starting in 1978 he was a soviet spy based in new
00:20:46.240
york city where he was watching the final days of the cold war unfold here in the united states even as
00:20:54.980
a kgb spy uh his life has taken a few unexpected turns he severed his relationship with the kgb in
00:21:02.980
1988 and pursued a corporate career in information technology he was finally captured by the fbi in
00:21:10.720
1997 he's been on 60 minutes he has a new book called deep undercover my secret life and tangled
00:21:18.920
allegiances as a kgb spy in america jack welcome back to the program how are you well thanks for
00:21:26.140
having me back i'm good before we start this allow me to to volunteer something i've been uh in germany
00:21:35.400
and poland for the last three weeks and i found a species that is increasingly rare in the united states
00:21:41.980
journalists what are you hearing you're in poland now are you not i am in warsaw yes yeah what are
00:21:53.200
you what are you seeing the difference in news reporting well they ask intelligent questions they
00:22:00.640
are informed you know i don't get blank stares when i mention some names of the past uh and uh and
00:22:07.940
and i think there's there's more real interest in what's going on in the world and this of course
00:22:13.600
in europe uh they they have a different geography and so forth so there's an explanation why americans
00:22:21.640
are naval gazers to some extent but but the level of ignorance that i've encountered uh in the united
00:22:28.820
states with regard to what's going on right now in this world is is astounding and it's scary
00:22:34.600
so jack let me ask you a couple of questions because i think you would have you know some
00:22:40.340
really good insight on the mind of putin and russia and what they're really doing with the attack on um
00:22:48.640
the uh the uk bringing that particular weapon in so it's it's known that it had to be uh putin
00:22:57.560
what should the response be and the response has been to kick out you know ambassadors
00:23:04.580
and spies is is that good enough what should we be doing and how is putin going to respond
00:23:11.720
well i beg to differ with your premise that it's known that it had to be putin
00:23:18.820
it's a it's a reasonable conclusion that it somehow leads in the direction of russia whether that's putin
00:23:26.320
himself i doubt very much uh that that just doesn't make any sense why uh and there why yeah um
00:23:34.780
think about why why would this guy be killed at this point and why would putin concentrate on him
00:23:44.200
personally uh we don't know any of that but this is all speculation uh you know this is there's a
00:23:52.120
possibility that somebody who would was trying to give them a present or something like that
00:23:56.920
uh but it putin wants to be seen as a statesman as a you know as a player on the international scene
00:24:03.680
that there's no good reason for him to go after this guy that known reason i i'm saying so so um
00:24:10.980
what bothers me about this whole situation that is that the politicians all over the world
00:24:17.620
uh are competing with each other uh to be more anti-russian uh and that's based on very often
00:24:26.360
based on internal politics you know i'm i'm more russian anti-russian than you uh that's a dangerous
00:24:32.760
path to travel down when you when you subject foreign policy to politics that is emotionally charged
00:24:39.820
to begin with that's my real problem here whether it was putin or not i'm sorry uh that's the real
00:24:47.040
big deal is how the west is acting and reacting and now i'm coming to your question uh i i believe that
00:24:54.140
this is standard operating procedure in a situation like that when you think somebody did something
00:24:59.300
wrong you know you explore you you let a few of the known spies the diplomats that are
00:25:07.340
undercover but actually spies you let him go and and and then the other side retaliates and when does
00:25:14.540
it stop i don't i that's a question for you i'm not sure war i don't i don't know either the point
00:25:22.720
being though uh you know when when i when i look back and people can have uh different opinions about
00:25:30.180
ronald reagan but ronald reagan dealt with the mighty soviet union in a different manner than than
00:25:36.160
we do right now uh dealing with a russian he he projected a quiet focused strength we don't get this
00:25:46.040
out of the white house we don't get this out of congress and in europe they're also you know uh they're
00:25:51.900
red with rage but you know we need to we need to band together as a west and and show exactly what
00:25:58.500
reagan did in those in in in the 80s so jack let me ask you if putin is playing the same game that
00:26:06.400
reagan played on us with this with this hypersonic weapon there's no evidence that that exists there's
00:26:14.220
calls now for a new arms race they say china is now on this hypersonic weapon uh is is this
00:26:22.020
uh the ronald reagan star wars play or do you think they have this i don't know uh uh you know technology
00:26:31.380
uh that makes incredible leaps and and i i think i think it's a bluff but it doesn't mean that in a few
00:26:38.820
years as uh some such weapon won't exist all the more important is that as much as we have
00:26:45.260
differences amongst other uh these nations we was in china and us and and russia all the more
00:26:52.520
important it is to to find a way to coexist because the one thing is clear neither the russians nor the
00:27:00.280
chinese are suicidal maniacs that uh belongs to that label belongs to the koreans and and the iranians
00:27:07.240
uh we need to find a way to sit down and and and don't uh deliberately or accidentally blow up the
00:27:15.800
world so we were just talking about um china and north korea yesterday china um uh announced that it
00:27:25.640
was kim jong-un that went to north went to china on that old-fashioned steam train and uh and they were
00:27:33.120
talking this is uh a sign perhaps that uh donald trump is pushing asia into a corner and saying
00:27:43.000
look you're gonna have to deal with this because we're not gonna put up with it anymore do you see
00:27:47.160
this as a good thing or a bad thing well it sounds like you know a good thing since the chinese
00:27:53.080
president said that uh that they that they are committed to denuclearizing asia well the i'm not sure
00:28:01.840
why why this would you know would just the the words would make any difference they could possibly
00:28:07.980
mean it as i said they're not they're not suicidal maniacs the chinese the the korean you don't know
00:28:13.740
what's in this guy's head uh but but he he clearly is dependent on china and is the entire existence of
00:28:22.260
that country and uh it appears that he also doesn't want to die okay so this is a weird so jack let me
00:28:34.400
let me go back to um russia for just a second you and i both uh agree that russia is a giant threat
00:28:42.220
russia sees putin in particular sees the end of the cold war um in a different way than than we see it
00:28:50.540
he thinks that it is the biggest tragedy of the 20th century is the soviet union collapse
00:28:54.880
um correct he is he is funding or people around him are funding uh radical groups uh all around the
00:29:04.760
world he is infiltrating uh our press etc etc and and pushing things out on social media
00:29:14.600
i have only one answer that may not be the it may not be the only existing answer but it's a it's a
00:29:24.260
really good answer i believe you're familiar with the magnitsky act yes okay we we need to we need to
00:29:33.580
uh uh uh freeze assets of known wrongdoers evildoers because that's what they're most afraid of
00:29:42.340
you know here's the bottom line if if you if you're an autocrat if you are one of the oligarchs
00:29:48.640
you know you're somewhat on borrowed time you know the tables might turn and then you then all you have
00:29:55.580
left is your savings if your savings are blocked that's not a good thing so somebody said i heard an
00:30:02.120
expert say the other day that this actually may work into putin's favor because um he's trying to
00:30:08.160
repatriate all of that cash and bring these oligarchs back into the fold if they're blocked by the west
00:30:14.700
uh they have no place to go but home yeah bring it back and stash it as what as gold or diamonds
00:30:23.620
you know i'm not a finance expert i don't know how that would work but uh yeah yeah on the world
00:30:30.380
scene uh... there's a there's a lot of things that that you probably know even more about that i do uh... but
00:30:36.420
clearly uh... if you remember this this uh... visual nitskaya the the the the the lawyer that
00:30:43.760
sought an audience and got an audience with the trump uh... folks she was pushing that for sure so it's it
00:30:52.760
hurt that bummel did did you would did you hear that unfortunately it wasn't covered very well that the
00:31:02.360
uh... broder who who wrote this book uh... read uh...
00:31:07.600
uh... now i forgot the book he's the he's the uh... grandson of uh...
00:31:13.100
earl broder who was the head of the communist party of the usa and he made a lot of money in the united states
00:31:18.800
and he was responsible mignitsky was his attorney
00:31:22.500
he made a lot of money in russia uh... and and and mignitsky was his attorney who was who was
00:31:34.580
that is correct yeah he's been on our show he's been yeah he's great
00:31:38.120
uh... okay so you know him yes and and he's awesome and i'm i was i was really disappointed that he
00:31:44.160
didn't get more played by the senate as well as in the media
00:31:48.460
uh... jack one last question we got to go um... the americans premiere tonight kind of the life you
00:31:55.800
led uh... how accurate is that from the 1980s soviet spies
00:32:01.780
obviously i've been asked this question many times and i changed my answer a little bit
00:32:08.260
when you look at the scenes scene by scene what they depict
00:32:20.580
by one couple they are probably a distillation of a thousand different spies
00:32:36.680
and on top of it they do some things that uh... that secret undercover agents don't do
00:32:43.360
and and they have a direct contact with their handler in the country
00:32:59.060
the way that they do and i think it was red sparrow which i haven't seen but
00:33:07.260
in red sparrow and in this is that what spy college was like over in the old soviet union
00:33:14.520
uh... i i was trained one on one i'd never met somebody else
00:33:18.460
uh... and some of my training was quite inadequate and you know picking out people as children and
00:33:24.000
and raising them that way there's a lot of there's a lot of things around this this this show that that is fiction uh...
00:33:32.940
it's the greatest show ever because i was uh... last year i was there on the show as an extra
00:33:42.780
god bless you and and uh... when you return back to the united states
00:33:48.620
okay good luck over there and uh... let us know when you come back i'd love to hear some
00:33:52.680
some of the tales that you have uh... brought back
00:34:12.160
every american needs a plan to get through an emergency and it's more urgent than ever
00:34:17.500
the federal government came out in december and said they cannot provide proper emergency management
00:34:41.280
everybody in your household now can have a four week emergency food kit
00:35:05.460
please don't make me go down to the scary basement
00:36:30.880
the intelligence largely proved to be incorrect
00:36:44.540
and we believe we understand the structure of russia
00:36:47.180
well enough to know that this sort of thing probably wouldn't happen
00:36:55.420
but why is the media so instant in their belief of the intelligence
00:36:59.400
i think it's because of their hatred for donald trump
00:37:03.380
they've been trying to make trump look weak on russia
00:37:41.040
retired u.s supreme court justice john paul stevens
00:53:47.580

01:33:50.180
you know it's it's good to see that they have someone representing them now that
01:33:54.260
people actually enjoy it's great turn of events and a great group i didn't uh
01:34:00.200
i don't think i follow you there you know it's good to find that they they found
01:34:04.080
someone that you know not is it isn't universally
01:34:06.740
despised and that's a great it's a great move for a charity you know you want to
01:34:09.880
make sure yeah okay i got it yeah i got it okay i got it i got it i got it i got
01:34:15.560
it yeah that was great you see um you know california oh my gosh california is
01:34:21.720
insane uh california the the the census um you know the californians have said you
01:34:29.980
know you can't you can't ask people if they're citizens
01:34:32.120
um however in the 2000 u.s census um it it it asked if you were a citizen of the united states
01:34:42.300
you're born in the united states yes born in puerto rico guam u.s virgin islands um or northern
01:34:50.020
marianas yes born abroad of american parents uh or parent yes u.s citizen by naturalization
01:34:58.960
or no not a citizen of the united states that was the 2000 census it's interesting because
01:35:04.900
we we heard a clip uh about i think it was brian selter who was on and they were and he was getting
01:35:08.980
some criticism about he was interviewing the gun children the uh parkland survivors and he and
01:35:15.420
he said you know i pushed back on some of the things or one thing that they said but i didn't on
01:35:20.320
another because i was trying to find a balance between how much am i going to be pushing back and
01:35:24.600
interrupting and saying try to get them to clarify their facts you know they're 17 year olds they've gone
01:35:28.780
through a tragedy it's 10 days after it you know maybe i shouldn't do that and that was kind of a
01:35:33.260
controversial thing i will say cnn had no such qualms when they came out of the uh sarah huckabee
01:35:41.020
sanders press conference after she talked about the census because what she says was it's been in
01:35:47.180
the census many times since 1965 it's not a big deal we're putting it back in and they came out and
01:35:52.320
said no it has not been in the census she's wrong on it hasn't been in the census since the 50s
01:35:56.060
and it was one survey i guess that's what she's referring to well because there's a long-form
01:36:01.160
census and a shorter form census and in the long-form census the clue the question was included
01:36:05.720
they got it wrong i don't know if they fact-checked themselves after that but i suspect
01:36:09.940
no i believe no yeah no they no i they might have fact-checked but they corrected that at 3 a.m eastern
01:36:22.640
you're listening to the glenn beck program welcome to pat gray from pat gray unleashed
01:36:37.260
which follows this program i love that show network everybody does yeah it's great everybody
01:36:41.760
does they're all talking about every day i love it you know it's it's embarrassing to me but a lot
01:36:45.960
of people have called it the greatest show ever done really yeah really i hate to bring that up
01:36:50.600
myself yeah that's uh you know but hey you gotta do it is a fact yes you know i mean yes we're not
01:36:55.920
gonna argue with facts so uh pat first of all did you just did you watch uh roseanne uh last night
01:37:01.520
i'm sorry i missed it actually you're one of the few that that didn't see it it it came out yesterday
01:37:07.080
the ratings are astonishing it's pretty amazing 18 million people watch that those numbers do not
01:37:14.340
happen in commercial television anymore 18 million people watched it i think there's a gigantic
01:37:21.720
curiosity factor because it's been it's been 20 more than 20 years since it was on have we forgotten
01:37:28.300
who she is she's a communist oh she was calling for either the beheading or i think the hanging
01:37:34.620
of the bankers and she wasn't joking she was serious right she actually ran i believe one year as the
01:37:42.980
communist party's nominee right it was technically the peace and freedom party which is a communist
01:37:46.980
party socialist party i mean you listen to her i was looking back at her uh platform in one of the
01:37:52.080
commercial breaks here uh she uh is going to work uh persistently on behalf of the unions uh she
01:37:59.460
persistently on behalf of women's and women and their issues in the workplace and their reproductive
01:38:04.260
rights single-payer health care um let's see what else she uh talks about the federal reserve she's
01:38:13.360
anti-federal reserve um she says so are we though yep um she opposes wars that are supposedly necessary
01:38:21.060
for our security but they go on forever and stink of profiteering we all love war oh well that's true
01:38:26.140
difference that we have that's true i forgot about always pushing for war and she uh she delivered
01:38:31.780
speeches in front of the white house um on day one of occupy wall street oh that's right i mean total
01:38:38.460
trump and now she's a trump fan what so weird how does that i don't know but listen to can we play the
01:38:45.320
audio please from last night i thought this was the most important section where she is she is talking to
01:38:51.840
her sister jackie who it did not vote uh for donald trump just play the part where where jackie says
01:38:58.480
how could you have voted for donald trump listen how could you have voted for him was in he talked
01:39:05.300
about jobs jackie he said he'd shake things up i mean this might come as a complete shock to you but
01:39:11.160
we almost lost our house the way things are going have you looked at the news because now things are
01:39:14.980
worse not on the real news oh that connects it does it does you know and and and not the real news part
01:39:25.740
alone uh that's a good laugh line but the part where she is sincerely saying a lot of us
01:39:32.980
lost our house or we're about to lose our house i think that's a real conversation oh i think this
01:39:38.800
is absolutely real conversation between the two of them yep she has it probably is probably is and it
01:39:45.940
was a lot of politics in these episodes it reminded me really of of like all in the family or last man
01:39:52.040
standing where like a lot of the a lot of the conflict in the show was the conflict between
01:39:57.600
uh roseanne and her sister who you know she you know that clip goes on you know they were going
01:40:03.100
to say a prayer and roseanne asks her if she wants to take a knee during the prayer
01:40:06.800
can you play play that it's a great line i don't know do we have it or not yeah but uh there's a uh
01:40:12.240
you know they went back and forth it's funny it was actually it was actually i didn't like roseanne back
01:40:17.980
in the day i was not a fan i did i thought it was funny yeah i mean you know there were moments of it
01:40:22.000
though that were good um it's it's funny they had a lot of weird things in the series too because the
01:40:26.120
last season i'm now looking back at this the last season of the series was the ninth season uh
01:40:31.680
featured it was completely different than the whole rest of the series they went from like crazy it was
01:40:36.240
all like weird fantasies they won the lottery they went they were like in weird like movie plots
01:40:42.040
it was really strange and no one knew what the hell was going on and then the last episode they said
01:40:46.500
she basically she came out she's like yeah i mean i've been living in this fantasy world ever since
01:40:50.480
uh dan died i'm like wait what and he died what he died of a heart attack and that's like how the
01:40:56.380
series ended he was dead so this one they come back and he you know he's there obviously now suddenly
01:41:03.060
alive and they played on all these ridiculous like inconsistencies and he's like i you know everyone
01:41:08.400
always thinks i'm dead when i'm asleep i'm just i'm just asleep and like they had in the in
01:41:13.260
the roseanne original series they had two actresses playing the same daughter like one for the first
01:41:19.400
half and then she left and the other one picked it up they had both of them come back one is the
01:41:24.340
daughter and one is a completely different role in the series like they did stuff like that was pretty
01:41:27.980
funny but it went back to politics over and over and over again she said make america great again in
01:41:32.360
her prayer like it's really it was she's a super trump uh supporter wow but that's consistent though
01:41:40.360
with the roseanne character yeah roseanne that that character would be that person that that rang so true
01:41:48.000
when she said you know a lot of people don't have it good a lot of people you know almost lost their
01:41:52.700
house a few years ago that just rings so true that it's consistent it's it's not a betrayal of the
01:42:00.600
character it's interesting to see roseanne huge trump fan and coulter now huge trump opponent yeah
01:42:07.820
what did you what did she call him shallow lazy ignoramus yeah she said uh again this is this is
01:42:16.480
the woman who wrote in trump we trust e pluribus awesome
01:42:20.720
now wow now you shallow lazy and an ignoramus did you hear wow when the stormy daniels thing
01:42:30.720
happened she said uh apparently stormy daniels and her only had uh and and trump only had sex once
01:42:37.600
um and then she said uh apparently to get screwed by trump over and over again you have to be one of
01:42:43.500
his voters oh wow oh my gosh i mean she so who is she playing to now uh oh i don't know i mean i mean
01:42:50.860
i don't know that she cares yeah and she's a one issue person and the fact seriously she helped write
01:42:57.020
trump's initial uh border security uh release press release and uh she wants that wall and you know
01:43:04.820
there's yeah so do i you know writing a press release shouldn't make you a fan of the president
01:43:09.660
maybe writing and passing the actual law yeah should make you the fan maybe she should have
01:43:15.900
looked a little deeper into him to begin with that could have helped temper her enthusiasm
01:43:20.660
replacing god with trump in that phrase well but you know what helped her understand maybe that's not
01:43:26.240
appropriate jeff sessions i mean if you looked at that jeff sessions you know he was he was on board
01:43:31.900
and he's really really you know border hawk as well so we'll see it's gone in a strange uh a strange
01:43:39.340
direction although many things have yeah i mean roseanne being for the republican in real life
01:43:46.040
that's strange that's a strange thing that's true that's a strange thing amazing yeah i mean we've
01:43:51.860
seen really strange things on twitter lately as well well planned parenthood is asking for have you
01:43:56.380
seen this about the disney princesses yeah yeah they want a disney princess that's had an abortion
01:44:01.500
yeah i mean i think it's finally time to you know maybe bring disney princesses into into real
01:44:07.740
life situations we're gonna go adult though i don't think that's enough just an abortion so what
01:44:12.220
what if you had a disney princess who gets her head lopped off by a terrorist what if you did
01:44:19.260
wouldn't that be great an interesting twist it'd be like a nazi or a white supremacist or something
01:44:24.920
yeah it would turn out to be that yeah it would have to initially you would suspect islamic terror
01:44:29.120
right then it turned out to be a neo-nazi yeah it would be really in the real thing was an oil
01:44:33.400
executive who was pulling the strings all the time right right or maybe a disney princess who doesn't
01:44:38.440
necessarily sing and dance instead she's suffering from severe depression and commit suicide on
01:44:44.520
facebook what about that that's great that's good yeah i didn't like it until you threw facebook
01:44:52.300
yeah then i'm like oh wow i think you do have an extra scene with her performing on facebook i do
01:44:58.340
kind of like that now now you're talking about a powerful disney movie yeah just a bunch of fluff
01:45:02.640
right that's what i like right maybe aladdin comes into jasmine with a suicide belt and blows up the
01:45:07.960
whole palace right including the two of them right something like that it would still be an oil
01:45:11.600
executive still yes aladdin you thinking oh my gosh there you go you're stereotyping the uh the
01:45:17.660
islamic world nope he's from exxon mobil yeah shortly before he blows himself up he actually
01:45:25.420
gets a job with exxon mobil oh really wow yeah and he was they who convince him to kill jasmine wow
01:45:32.980
wow i think we're ready for this i think if we're really ready for the disney princesses
01:45:39.720
should all wear burkas at least the ones in the middle east they should all they you should

so glad you've tuned in today thank you so much uh we played some audio a little while ago i i find
01:47:55.220
this uh fascinating audio this is uh between albuquerque center which is uh the um the you
01:48:04.480
know the flight control for that part of the country and uh three airline pilots and i want
01:48:10.460
you to i want you to listen to this audio albuquerque seven one papa golf there were seven one papa golf
01:48:15.540
good and there was anybody that's uh above us that passed us like 30 seconds ago there were seven one
01:48:21.640
papa golf negative okay something a ufo yeah american uh 1095 uh let me know if uh you see anything
01:48:31.380
pass over you here in the next uh 15 miles you know if anything passes over i reckon 1095 affirmative we
01:48:39.100
had an aircraft in front of you it's uh 37 that reported something passed over him and uh we didn't
01:48:43.640
have any targets so just uh let me know if you see anything pass over you all right i don't know what
01:48:49.400
it was it wasn't an airplane but it was the tap was going off the direction it's american 1095 yeah
01:48:55.520
something just passed over so uh like i don't know what it was but it's at least two three thousand
01:49:02.060
feet above us but yeah i passed right over the top of us okay american 1095 thank you yeah center
01:49:06.700
delta 1755 chicken and three two oh and uh delta 1755 albuquerque center american 1095 can you tell if it was
01:49:14.940
in motion or just uh hovering make it out whether it was a balloon or whatnot but it was just really
01:49:19.740
beat their flight or had a big reflection on it several thousand feet above us going opposite direction
01:49:24.700
so this is at about 40 000 feet at least 40 000 feet going in the opposite direction and not being
01:49:34.380
picked up by radar and uh two pilots verified that they had seen it bruce in tennessee
01:49:41.280
retired pilot of 35 years hello bruce hey glenn how are you good what do you does that happen very
01:49:48.760
often yeah you see stuff all the time that's unidentified just like you mentioned before
01:49:55.140
uh so but some some things a little bit more unusual than others though have you had this experience
01:50:03.620
yeah this happened a number of years ago in the middle of the night and i say middle nights around
01:50:09.280
two o'clock in the morning and we heard some air refueling in the area prior military you always
01:50:15.360
your ears perk up when you hear that and um so we listened to it and next thing we know we look down
01:50:21.860
at the tcast which is a a little it's almost like a radar but it's not it's i think it's traffic
01:50:28.120
collision avoidance system or something you know it'll point out aircraft above and below your
01:50:33.880
1500 feet 2000 and uh normally you'll see these little targets out there and they'll tell you if
01:50:40.160
they're descending or climbing or level and uh but we saw one and normally they come at you or you'll
01:50:47.520
see them pop in from the sides we saw one on this thing it came from behind us overtook us and i'm
01:50:54.300
telling you this thing just went tick tick tick tick tick at a real high rate of speed we looked up
01:50:58.580
uh we couldn't see anything but we found it unusual because uh we kind of calculated you know napkin
01:51:06.540
back of the napkin calculation it was in the i'll just say thousands of miles per hour type of uh
01:51:13.380
speed or not knots actually and then we looked at each other and then we asked atc uh is there any
01:51:20.120
refueling in the air just to confirm this yes just uh what are they refueling out there if sam
01:51:24.440
i'll i'll get back with you and uh he never got back to us so what do you think that was a
01:51:32.080
a military aircraft of some sort it was either an anomaly which normally you know you look down
01:51:41.080
and you might see something pop up uh on the screen momentarily it might be outside the altitude
01:51:47.280
parameters maybe picking up something you know maybe outside those but it's it's probably there
01:51:53.880
but uh the way this thing it stayed uh the the uh the image or that you see on the screen stay
01:52:03.040
there and it tracked from behind us uh in front of us so i mean if it was probably it could have been
01:52:10.340
the military more than likely was and there's all kinds of black operations uh that go on all the
01:52:16.660
time but now whether or not the speed was that fast i don't know that what we calculated but uh it
01:52:23.040
certainly was fast on the t-cast bruce it's my understanding that we don't have scramjet
01:52:27.080
technology which takes us to really hypersonic speeds um because we don't have an alloy that
01:52:33.380
could hold up against that kind of pressure and heat is that accurate do you know uh i'm an
01:52:41.360
anthropology major not a okay okay no i'm sure we do have some we tried some uh i forgot who makes it
01:52:51.540
but it's a cool looking uh vehicle which is launched from underneath a uh b52 they haven't
01:52:57.880
had any successful flights yet but maybe a controllability problem but you know as you know
01:53:03.880
you know they could say they don't have it but there's a lot of alloys out there that we don't
01:53:08.700
really understand bruce thanks a lot i appreciate it god bless see you tonight at five o'clock on the
