00:01:40.340 system for us you know this is great we start there in one minute this is the glenbeck program

00:01:50.440 somewhere in america within the sound of my voice there's a man with a whistle around his neck

00:01:59.080 he's aching to hear its shrill call one more time he walks the sidelines of a dew-covered gridiron

00:02:06.220 his tekova's boots making a fine firm noise time was he took these boys to state almost every year

00:02:16.040 and every time it was almost as satisfying as if he had managed to go himself back into the old days

00:02:22.120 those boys stood for something immortal in their game just as these tekova's boots stand for something

00:02:30.480 immortal in him they're not just part of his life they're part of his frontier they're part of the

00:02:38.600 game you know tekova's boots kind of root you they they speak of real character they're made from the

00:02:48.380 most exotic leathers available they're handcrafted by world-class boot makers takes 200 steps to make

00:02:54.460 a pair of tekova's boots and yet their boots cost about half of what a similar boot will cost you

00:03:00.120 elsewhere you should check out not only their selection of boots but all the other fine

00:03:05.040 leather and clothing products that they make you can find your pair at tekova's.com slash back

00:03:10.800 that's t-e-c-o-v-a-s dot com slash back tekova's western wear for your frontier

00:03:30.120 okay for anybody who hasn't been paying attention i want to explain the chinese social credit system

00:03:39.620 since 2014 in china the social credit system um is it has been implemented and is evolving into

00:03:51.160 a single nationwide point system for all chinese citizens and it is akin to a financial credit score

00:03:59.720 it follows you everywhere there is no place to hide from the cameras it is evolved now into you have

00:04:10.460 to have a certain app on your phone and they monitor you you every day you take a um you take this app

00:04:19.560 you open it up and you have to kind of take a test about what the great leader is doing today

00:04:26.100 and he you know it gives you all the news of what the great leader is doing and what the communists

00:04:31.520 are doing that is so good for you then you have to take a test if you don't open that app every day

00:04:37.780 your social credit goes down if you're not taking that test your social credit goes down

00:04:43.660 they track you and feed you everything that they want to feed you and you must consume it

00:04:53.340 if you jaywalk across the street your social credit goes down if you are if you speak ill about the

00:05:00.600 country your social credit goes down if you are talking to someone who has a low social credit score

00:05:07.340 your social credit goes down it is uh it is horrible what is happening in china it is becoming a true 1.00

00:05:19.060 police state orwellian 1984 and it aims to punish for any kind of transgression that can include

00:05:26.420 membership in or support for the falun gong or the or tibetan buddhism if you haven't paid your debt if

00:05:33.900 you have excessive video gaming criticizing the government late payments failing to sweep the

00:05:41.220 sidewalk in front of your store or house smoking or playing loud music on trains jaywalking anything

00:05:47.620 that is unacceptable by the chinese government it also awards points for charitable donations even

00:05:54.400 taking one's own parents to the doctor and the punishments are harsh there are bans on leaving the

00:06:01.840 country bans on using public transportation so in other words uh sorry all of a sudden you get to

00:06:08.360 the bus and your phone says offender not enough social credit you have to walk you're not taking

00:06:15.720 a bus you can't check into certain hotels you will immediately not be hired for any high visibility job

00:06:23.520 if you have spoken out against the government you have posted something that shouldn't have been posted

00:06:29.540 your children will be pulled out of the private school and may not even make it into a public school

00:06:35.760 it can result in slower internet connections and also uh social stigmatization um because you are

00:06:45.040 you are now registered on a public social blacklist your your face actually goes up on billboards

00:06:54.060 electronic billboards in your neighborhood and anyone who interacts with you their social credit goes down

00:07:01.960 they brag that they can keep people locked in their house just because they won't they won't be able

00:07:12.960 to go anywhere it is authoritarianism gamified now i've told you for a while

00:07:22.960 if google and silicon valley is helping them do these things what makes you think that they won't do the same

00:07:30.940 here well they are there are now 40 or so pilot projects operated by local governments at least six

00:07:42.600 run by tech giants now beijing is is doing this china is doing this they have two nationwide lists

00:07:50.900 one called the black list the other one is the red list that's kind of like a a white list here

00:07:56.140 uh the chinese government shares its list with all technology platforms

00:08:01.180 um they uh they give you every month a social credit and that social credit uh is determines the rest of

00:08:11.540 your life now some chinese people are unaware that this even exists at this point because they haven't

00:08:18.000 gotten it all to the entire country but their goal is china 2020 to have the entire country on this

00:08:25.180 surveys done by the government show that 80 percent of the chinese citizens that are surveyed

00:08:31.380 strongly approve of the social credit system of course they do you're tracking them

00:08:40.480 now if you are disturbed by any of this let me tell you what's going on now in america the new york

00:08:50.320 state department of financial services announced earlier this year that life insurance companies can

00:08:56.820 base premiums on what they find in your social media posts if you have an instagram picture showing

00:09:02.760 you teasing a grizzly bear at yellowstone with a martini in a hand and a bucket of cheese fries in the

00:09:08.000 other you're going to pay a higher rate however if you are doing yoga you're going to pay a lower rate

00:09:16.760 anything that shows you're healthy and wise you're going to get a lower rate anything that shows you that

00:09:26.380 you are doing anything at all dangerous you're going to get a higher rate now that seems kind of

00:09:33.640 reasonable it's like well you know i have i have insurance uh on me i can't go to a war zone i can't

00:09:42.060 fly a plane uh i can't go cliff you know climbing all the stuff i'm never gonna do i'm fine with they

00:09:49.620 were like you can't do these things anymore and i'm like does that include jumping out of a perfectly

00:09:53.640 good airplane with a parachute and they're like yeah and i'm like good check that one off my list

00:09:58.460 so you don't have a problem with it per se unless you do those things if you are somebody that is

00:10:08.200 into adventure sports you better tell the truth or you're going to pay a very high penalty now there's

00:10:16.160 also something called a patron scan so the insurance companies are kind of like well i think that's

00:10:22.540 probably okay you say you don't smoke and then you're seen smoking on facebook that's probably

00:10:28.120 okay but now now we have patron scan this company sells three products kiosk desktop and handheld

00:10:36.980 systems and what it is is designed to help bar and restaurant owners manage customers patron scan

00:10:44.420 is a subsidiary of the canadian software company a biometric company it's now on sale in the united

00:10:51.960 states canada australia and the united kingdom and it helps spot fake idea ids but it also tracks

00:10:59.280 troublemakers so when you arrive at let's say a patron scan uh using bar what they do is they ask

00:11:07.840 you for id they scan it the company maintains a list of objectionable customers designed to protect

00:11:15.780 venues from people who have previously had a problem in any bar fighting sexual assault

00:11:21.940 drugs theft theft or any other bad behavior but the bad behavior that list is up to each restaurant

00:11:31.120 so if you go into some restaurant with a maga hat can you be put on this scan now if you are banned in

00:11:45.180 one bar you will be banned in all bars that use this system and that's in australia the united states the

00:11:54.260 united kingdom no matter where you go you are known as someone who can't go into the bar

00:11:59.420 now the kind of behavior all up to the individual bar the owners of each bar can ignore the bands if they

00:12:10.080 want the data of non-offending customers is deleted in 90 days so even if you're not doing something wrong

00:12:18.920 they're still holding all your information for 90 days uh the they keep a private list that are not

00:12:28.460 shared with other bars if they want but if you are a bad customer it can be kept for five years

00:12:35.540 um they do have uh an appeals process but it's up to the company whether they listen to it or not

00:12:43.400 uber and airbnb we all know that when you get into an uber if the driver has written something bad about

00:12:52.860 you you're probably not going to get into another uber if you have somebody who who didn't like you can

00:13:01.200 say whatever you're going to not be able to use uber airbnb is now the same and that is a private

00:13:09.460 list so if you are in a an airbnb and think about how big airbnb is now if you're in an airbnb and the

00:13:19.040 owner didn't like something or said you did something even if you didn't do it they can alert airbnb

00:13:28.160 it's kept confidential you have no right to see what your accuser is telling you and you are banned

00:13:35.140 from all airbnb whatsapp also developing for communications a new uh social credit score

00:13:45.300 for example you can be banned on whatsapp if too many other users block you you can also get banned for

00:13:51.840 selling uh for sending spam threatening messages trying to hack or reverse engineer the whatsapp

00:13:57.720 app or using the service with an unauthorized app now this is small potatoes in the united states but

00:14:05.160 not for the rest of the world because in many parts of the world this is the main form of communication

00:14:10.280 not being allowed to use whatsapp in some countries is like not being able to use a telephone in america

00:14:18.780 now here's the problem nobody likes anti-social violent rude unhealthy reckless people we got it

00:14:30.140 so what's wrong with this technology as i have said before what is now being built completely changes our

00:14:41.680 system we have always had protections of the first and second amendment we've had protections of privacy

00:14:51.680 supposedly under the constitution we don't anymore first amendment freedom of speech nope uh how about

00:15:03.120 freedom of assembly nope freedom of of of assembly with people that you choose nope it's not protected

00:15:11.780 freedom of religion no uh they they're banning christian ads now just because they're christian

00:15:21.780 that doesn't sound like a good thing i mean that's protected by the constitution not really

00:15:30.020 uh second amendment nope anybody can say no no guns here and they don't have to do anything about it

00:15:39.560 they can pressure banks now to say don't do business with the gun manufacturers or the gun businesses or

00:15:47.360 people who have a gun don't do business with them we're going to cancel their their financial services

00:15:52.920 totally fine because it's a private company don't quarter soldiers in the house well the nsa is already

00:16:00.240 doing it but so is so is google so is amazon they're listening to your conversation there is no such thing as

00:16:07.360 privacy anymore and no law can stop these things because they're private companies they can do whatever

00:16:18.320 they want in china they're doing it by force because the government china is going this way

00:16:25.360 just as orwell predicted in 1984 but just as brave new world predicted huxley said it would come with a big

00:16:37.180 happy face on it it would come through service and and it would be great and you'd want this service

00:16:43.780 both of those i remember a time within the last 10 years people were saying oh looks like huxley was

00:16:52.180 right orwell was wrong no they were both right one 1984 fits the east huxley applies to us in the west

00:17:07.000 all right so what's easy to get into but hard to get out of

00:17:19.260 i would say a lot of sports cars but that's not easy that's not what the answer is credit card debt

00:17:27.480 with the average interest rate at 18 it's going to eat up all of your savings and you're going to have

00:17:34.440 a hard time paying this off now if you're a homeowner i highly recommend that you consolidate

00:17:40.760 all of your high interest debt into a mortgage that has a interest rate of four percent could save

00:17:47.200 you hundreds of dollars a month even thousands or more the people i trust is american financing they do

00:17:55.700 not work for the bank they also don't have to reset your loan so you know i got 10 years in your

00:18:02.140 mortgage you're already done 10 years you did a 15 20 or 30 year loan i don't want to go back to a 30

00:19:06.620 so uh eric bowling sat down with mike pence yesterday we're going to get a recap from him in just a few

00:19:23.180 minutes also uh coming up in about 15 minutes we have uh uh the people that are arguing in front of

00:19:31.660 the supreme court today uh about prager being banned from or or shadow banned uh on with google

00:19:42.140 this is a really important supreme court case we'll talk to him uh just before he goes into the courtroom

00:19:49.620 here in a few minutes to argue the case in front of the supreme court so yesterday uh we talked a little

00:19:57.240 bit about 5g and john bolt who is one of my favorite employees and i just love working with him

00:20:03.240 um he he is the guy who reads you know most of the email that comes in and he hates it when i talk about

00:20:10.240 how much i hate cats because all of the cat lovers write in and he's like glenn you just wrecked my day

00:20:16.820 so i apologize uh but i do really hate cats anyway um he said the only thing that has come close to

00:20:24.820 rivaling it is what i said yesterday about 5g 5g there is no evidence that 5g causes cancer none zero zip

00:20:36.900 it is most likely i believe uh it's just as likely if not more likely that this is a rumor that was

00:20:46.380 started by china or russia to shake americans off the track you have to understand

00:20:52.860 if if it if we don't uh do 5g if we fall behind things are going to change dramatically i believe

00:21:07.080 we lose our superpower status almost overnight silicon valley will collapse on itself invention

00:21:14.140 american ingenuity gone because it will if you miss this train it will be like being in the second

00:21:21.760 grade and in a year everyone else that was with you in the second grade is now in the 12th grade

00:21:28.220 and you're not even sure that you are going to be able to make it to the third grade it is really

00:21:35.200 really a huge deal uh and we can get into more of that probably on tomorrow's show but what i do want

00:21:43.800 to say is i did some more research and yesterday i told you it doesn't cause cancer i want you to know

00:21:49.980 that i was wrong doing more research i found that it does cause cancer but only in the heads of cats

00:21:58.760 and so i i urge you now even more strongly to make sure that we all have 5g because you'll have high

00:22:09.780 speed internet and cat cancer and if you disagree make sure you're right in uh because john loves

00:22:18.180 loves these emails uh so and and i you know i think it's fair that 5g would kill all the cats 0.99

00:22:26.380 while we're surfing a very high speed internet 23 and me i have a friend whose uh family has this

00:22:35.460 legend they're all from kansas originally supposedly a few generations back in the family tree a number

00:22:46.700 23 and me kit well it ended up matching him to some real relatives that he had never met and he

00:22:53.900 discovered that the legend was real now i don't know why you would want to be you know related to

00:24:22.460 it so um yeah real interesting there's a faith and freedom conference um i guess a fundraiser

00:24:29.220 that jeff duncan was putting on in south carolina and uh i had the opportunity they said you want to

00:24:34.820 you want a little exclusive one-on-one with the vice president i said absolutely i drove i live in

00:24:39.080 charleston now so i drove up to greenville and um i got a few i got like 12 minutes with the vice

00:24:45.180 president one-on-one exclusive and it was fantastic because you know i'm driving up there and i'm

00:24:51.880 thinking i i there's so much going on right now there's so much going on in trump world do i do this

00:24:58.820 um how how how much you know as you know glenn you get someone that you've who's doing kind of

00:25:06.480 you know reaching out to you doing your favor doing a one-on-one exclusive how hard do you press

00:25:11.200 the gas i said you know what there's too much happening right now i gotta go full throttle and

00:25:15.280 i did i asked them the important stuff i asked them what's what's the stuff with nikki haley

00:25:20.200 you know the ambassador tweeting that calm down everyone we're we're good friends with with the

00:25:26.340 vice president i said yeah yes and point blank is nikki haley vying to be the vice president in 2020

00:25:32.780 you know and then i said has the president told you you are his running mate in 2020 i mean

00:25:39.780 those are questions i think he wasn't expecting me to ask but yeah but i will tell you this i because

00:25:45.740 i floated the theory uh among friends um uh at the white house and i have said you know i have nothing

00:25:54.340 against mike pence i really like mike pence and i think mike pence was a uh one of the reasons why

00:26:00.760 donald trump was elected because he was able to galvanize the religious right um and and make

00:26:07.800 people feel comfortable with uh with donald trump however uh i think having nikki haley on the ticket

00:26:15.940 with donald trump with no offense to mike pence uh i think would be very advantageous for the president

00:26:24.340 uh this time around yeah i i agree i think he uh he couldn't lose with either one um i think you're

00:26:31.740 probably right that maybe you know you check another box with with nikki haley the you know

00:26:36.780 trump you know let's be honest he's i believe he's going to win with a wider margin than last time but

00:26:42.340 a lot of it's going to come down to the suburbs and and you know the female vote and nikki haley 0.97

00:26:46.320 certainly uh firm up that but i did you either way but i think it's an easier ride with with a

00:26:51.860 with a female vice president i know that i i mean i know when you have 12 minutes you probably have 1.00

00:26:56.580 four questions maybe if the person wants to wants to talk um did you get into the economy at all and

00:27:05.320 the trade war is are they do you get the sense that they are very well aware that if the economy turns

00:27:13.040 this president's going to have a real uphill battle yeah so so yes and that that's where i started

00:27:19.800 because you know like i had said at the time the president was flying back from the g7 and i said

00:27:25.260 that we were in the midst of a trade war china we've had conflicting comments coming out one from

00:27:30.260 the president one from stephanie grisham his comms director another one from the president again

00:27:34.440 i said look are we are we prepared the president said he's prepared to continue to raise tariffs on

00:27:40.480 china infinitum if they don't if they don't relent and play ball and he says we are and i said well

00:27:46.080 i said miss oh you know in all honesty mr vice president i'm i'm against tariffs and i love a

00:27:53.380 lot of things that you guys are doing but tariffs is not one of the things i like i said but it seems

00:27:57.860 to be working i said is this is this president trump's idea or is this steve mnuchin talking in

00:31:51.320 this is the glenbeck program

00:31:56.320 we go to uh craig straziri who is um uh the cmo with prager university prager uh has been going

00:32:19.860 through trouble with google they are they are starting their lawsuit against google today ninth

00:32:26.900 circuit court i thought it was the supreme court but it's not there yet it's ninth circuit court

00:32:31.000 which is a crazy courtroom welcome craig how are you i'm great thank you go ahead thank you for having

00:32:38.360 me sure so as you're getting ready to go in and and and present the oral arguments tell me tell the

00:32:44.280 listeners first exactly what you are you're fighting yeah so google and youtube as you know

00:32:52.240 they are a giant corporation that has a lot of power and control and can control what people see

00:32:57.920 and so over the past few years uh the problem has only continued to get worse and so there are now over

00:33:03.000 200 prager you videos that are being restricted and get this glenn five of the videos that dennis

00:33:08.540 prager does on the 10 commandments are being restricted so they don't even hide their bias at this

00:33:12.960 point it's it's uh really unfortunate so our case uh our case is really centered around this argument

00:33:18.880 about a public forum the distinction between a public forum and a publisher and so a public forum

00:33:25.000 which could be a physical location or it could be a website is a place where the business invites

00:33:30.480 someone to come on excuse me sorry the business invites the public to come and use their platform

00:33:36.560 for speech so youtube says anyone can come on here and give us their opinion but then they turn around

00:33:42.180 censor us for their political viewpoint so uh that's the basis of our of our lawsuit what do you think

00:33:48.400 the odds are of winning because this this doesn't just affect you that affects really anybody who is

00:33:54.260 being uh shadow banned uh and it is in my opinion critical that you win this if you lose this uh and

00:34:03.640 i'm guessing you will in the ninth circuit court of appeals because they're insane um but if if you do lose

00:34:10.380 this this this is a very bad blow to freedom of speech these corporations will have no restrictions

00:34:17.960 uh on on any of their behavior

00:34:21.540 no that's right that's exactly right and the ninth circuit is crazy and and if we lose it we're in big trouble

00:34:28.440 it's getting more and more scary and if they have the power to to control what people see and just

00:34:33.660 restrict content that they disagree with uh then this is this is really scary and most of america

00:34:38.860 doesn't even know this is going on because the mainstream media has completely ignored this issue

00:34:42.420 well they're they're doing things like for instance they they are banning uh prager university

00:34:48.500 um as you said 200 different videos dennis is the best voice ever on the ten commandments i mean his

00:34:57.620 books on you know his books on the old testament and his his uh his videos on the ten commandments

00:35:04.360 there's just nobody even close to him there's nothing uh that is you know political partisan

00:35:11.500 that is going on with that this is just an anti-religious uh bias that they have

00:35:18.120 yeah exactly i mean it clearly shows that they're targeting us for our identity and uh i'm sure your

00:35:25.280 your listeners may be aware that project veritas just had a couple google whistleblowers come out you

00:35:30.380 know one of them mentioned that you guys you and your show is on a blacklist but they've also

00:35:34.520 mentioned that prager you has been targeted their own employees are coming out and admitting that

00:35:38.960 they're targeting conservatives and like you said dennis's message and the ten commandments are so

00:35:43.200 mainstream uh that it's really getting to be absurd at this point their own employees are admitting it yet

00:35:48.200 they they continue to go in front of congress and they continue to say that they're politically

00:35:52.140 neutral which is which is obviously a lie so what is your what is your attack i mean what is the

00:35:57.900 you know you're going up against google has who has more money and power than god at this point

00:36:03.520 um what is your strategy well this is a classic case of david and goliath and one one reason i'm

00:36:11.060 really proud to work and represent prager you is that we're fighters dennis always says that courage

00:36:16.500 uh with our goodness without courage is is useless so we're very courageous at prager you and we're

00:36:21.420 we're really fighting for freedom of speech not just for prager you but for all americans so

00:36:25.180 uh this is a very important case and there's going to be a lot of supporters there today at the

00:36:29.440 courthouse for prager you which is very exciting a lot of people recognize how important this case is

00:36:34.520 and so uh yes the ninth circuit is crazy but we're going to take this as far and as long as we need

00:36:39.120 to all the way up to the supreme court uh to keep fighting well the good news is if you're um turned

00:36:44.540 down by the ninth circuit court they are the most overturned court in the country i mean if they say

00:36:50.700 if they say the sky is blue i'll swear to you that it's red because they're wrong almost every time

00:36:55.980 that is true yeah all right craig best of luck uh anything that we can do to help

00:37:02.360 yes i would encourage your listeners to please go to prager you.com we have a petition against

00:37:07.540 youtube that 600 000 people have already signed um if they're so willing and generous that we are

00:37:12.440 a non-profit and any donation will help us keep spreading public awareness on this issue

00:37:16.380 um so we got to keep fighting and i appreciate you having me on you bet thanks craig appreciate it

00:37:21.220 there is there are only a handful of things that i believe are godsends and things that will

00:37:30.980 actually help save the country um operation oh you are the underground railroad the saving of of

00:37:40.060 children uh in the sex slave racket 40 million slaves around the world that the nazarene fund i think is

00:37:51.760 critical and um and prager university is another one it is i just don't think that there's anybody that

00:38:01.520 reaches as many people especially young people as prager university i mean they are up to i think

00:38:09.440 their billionth view uh and they have just swept the internet and they're watched all over the world

00:38:17.400 and it's really important work if you can support them and that's either financially or just through

00:38:23.600 a prayer today would be helpful prager university yeah things like their uh their video on the electoral

00:38:31.320 college like it's something like that that is like one of the only things standing in the way

00:38:36.060 of younger people just getting on the national popular vote bandwagon when it's actually explained

00:38:41.460 which never happens in the media uh people understand it pretty easily but it takes four

00:38:47.540 or five minutes and is that is that is something that you know the media will actually dedicate to

00:38:52.360 an important topic like this no you know yesterday i did uh a special hour hour number two this week

00:38:59.060 or at least for the next i think two or three days uh is going to be about the economy

00:39:03.780 and all the things that you need to know today the truth about recessions recessions are good

00:39:11.080 and bad for the politician and will explain uh the truth about recessions that nobody really ever

00:39:20.260 explains anymore we've completely gone off the deep end on on this um and it's because of the fed

00:39:26.220 yesterday we explained i had so much mail yesterday and people came in uh to my office yesterday and they

00:39:33.000 were like glenn thank you for that monologue on how important america is we gave you some stats

00:39:40.140 yesterday about how the sovereign funds from almost all of the countries around the world are all

00:39:48.840 investing in our stock market and in our bonds because it's the only return we are the last one that is

00:39:56.380 offering real returns and you can't make money anyplace else if if we fail if we falter the entire world

00:40:07.900 falters if we get off of the free market which elizabeth warren will do the entire world goes to hell 1.00

00:40:18.700 and that's not hyperbole if we fail economically everything goes to hell in a handbasket and by the 0.61

00:40:29.640 way the poll that came out yesterday i've been waiting to ask you about it and it came out yesterday

00:40:34.580 that's a that's a real poll isn't it the monmouth poll yeah showing a three-way tie basically at the top

00:40:40.720 yes absolutely one of the highest rated pollsters there is now it's one poll um there's only been one

00:40:45.860 another one that's shown a result like this that one was a little bit shaky but this one is a plus

00:40:51.180 yeah i'm an a plus rated pollster i mean elizabeth warren could be our next president you're listening

00:40:56.400 to glenn beck

00:40:58.040 we have um we have an hour on the economy yesterday we told you why america's economy

00:41:15.840 was so important uh today we talk about recessions they're good for economies they're bad for people

00:41:24.680 and presidents and uh you'll learn the nasty secret about recessions that the media will never tell you

00:41:45.840 the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment this is the glenn beck program all this week

00:41:58.920 in this time period i'm going to be talking to you about the economy what's coming what you need to know

00:42:06.760 explaining things that maybe the mainstream media just can't find time to explain yesterday i explained

00:42:14.760 why china is so dangerous playing playing uh some sort of uh chicken with china is not necessarily a

00:42:25.020 very good idea they have a trump card no pun intended and i told you about that yesterday also whose fault

00:42:32.120 is it if the economy goes down if you didn't hear it yesterday please go back to the podcast and

00:42:39.620 listen to it today we're going to talk to you about recessions what are they well they're good for

00:42:48.840 economies they're just painful for people and very bad for presidents we begin there in one minute

00:42:57.220 this is the glenn beck program so i want to tell you about marta she was a school teacher for about 1.00

00:43:04.880 40 years and it was her labor of love and sometimes she still misses it but these days she gets a

00:43:12.060 concentrated version of the joy she used to feel during her teaching years by spending time with her

00:43:17.160 grandkids uh but up until she discovered relief factor uh it wasn't looking as though marta might ever

00:43:24.460 really be able to enjoy those days and those times again years of pain in the joints of her hands

00:43:31.320 left her uh frequently unable to even do simple tasks sometimes it brought her to tears other times

00:43:38.260 just merely quiet sadness she'd get into the car she'd want to go see her grandchildren and she

00:43:43.600 she couldn't turn the key uh of the ignition of her car because the pain was so bad

00:43:50.240 now though the pain is gone and she has relief factor to thank for it relief factor is a great way to

00:43:58.800 reduce the inflammation that causes pain and it works for 70 percent of us who try it i've tried it

00:44:05.220 relief factor is not a drug i take it every day three times a day it's 1995 you get the three week quick

00:44:12.760 start in that time you will see if it works for you or not see how and if it will vastly improve your

00:44:21.320 quality of life it has mine try relief factor just try it and get your life back if you want a drug-free

00:44:30.540 natural way to ease your pain and get your life back go to relieffactor.com that's relieffactor.com

00:44:36.200 relieffactor.com

00:44:37.980 recessions good for economies harsh on people bad for presidents now i don't want to sound like bill

00:44:53.100 maher and i don't want to step into his quagmire of sounding like i'm wishing or supportive of a

00:44:58.120 recession striking the u.s economy let me start by emphatically stating i neither hope for a recession

00:45:06.320 nor am i forecasting one to occur now soon next year or at any particular time we're off the charts

00:45:15.940 on on recessions so no one knows mar has gotten himself into trouble because he's openly wishing for

00:45:24.980 the economy to crash into recession despite the fact that it will be devastating to millions of

00:45:30.760 americans who will lose their jobs many of them will lose their homes or their businesses he believes

00:45:37.120 that he we should have a recession uh between now and november 2020 because trump will lose his

00:45:43.040 re-election bid and that would make it worth it even though other people are suffering now that's easy

00:45:48.740 for a guy who's worth over a hundred million dollars to say but let me say i pray every day that we do not

00:45:56.160 experience a recession because unlike maher i'd really rather not see any american whether i agree

00:46:04.500 or disagree with them suffer an economic downturn uh and also because when it comes to the re-election

00:46:12.340 of donald trump i think bill maher is right about that if a recession happens and the economy goes off

00:46:18.780 the wet rails he will be blamed first term presidents are really susceptible to recessions

00:46:26.860 dooming their chances at serving a second term and trump has attached much of his presidency and his

00:46:34.540 campaign performance of the u.s economy if you're taking credit for everything you're going to get

00:46:41.640 blamed for everything as well but first before we really get into this let me explain so we're on the

00:46:49.080 same page for today's purposes i'm discussing the textbook definition of an economic recession

00:46:56.840 that's two or more quarters of declining gross domestic products six months or more where the total

00:47:04.160 financial output of the united states is shrinking now historically speaking the united

00:47:11.360 states experiences a recession about every seven years remember that number every seven years we

00:47:18.820 have a recession it's going to come into play later and you're going to be i think it's a piece a puzzle

00:47:25.440 piece that falls in and you're like oh my gosh now we're currently sitting at 10 years since the last

00:47:31.960 recession the great recession followed you know that followed the 2007 2008 financial crisis it's been 10 years

00:47:38.760 now this represents the period we're in now the longest period of financial expansion in all of u.s history

00:47:48.980 that should tell you something so in a way we are way overdue for our next recession already

00:47:58.980 you know but that's you know like saying los angeles oh they're overdue for a major earthquake because

00:48:04.400 they hadn't had one in a while you know it makes for you know great headlines and everybody wants to

00:48:09.000 read it but it's not science now there's a great misconception about recessions and this comes from

00:48:17.180 the progressive movement around the turn of the century it's all really due because of politicians

00:48:23.700 in part because the media and in part because of our general tendency toward finding escapes scapegoat

00:48:31.360 when something quote goes wrong end quote but here's the counterintuitive truth

00:48:39.820 you might need duct tape to wrap around your head so your head doesn't explode when i say this to you

00:48:48.180 just because a recession occurs it doesn't necessarily in fact it usually does not mean anything has gone

00:48:59.220 quote wrong end quote in a healthy functional market economy recessions are normal they're natural

00:49:09.280 and a healthy process of the business cycle now that's hard to say i'm a small business owner i am also a rancher

00:49:20.160 i have a farm i know what farmers are going through right now we're going through it i am a business

00:49:28.560 small business owner i know what it is like i know homes can be foreclosed on by banks families are

00:49:36.460 evicted during recessions life savings can be wiped out farmers lose their land ranchers are forced to

00:49:43.940 sell their herds small business owners are forced to cut back on workers have to lay people off or they

00:49:50.200 lose their business so i have been through that process myself it is painful it is emotional and it has

00:49:58.300 a real world impact nobody wants to go through that nobody wants to see anybody else go through that

00:50:05.520 it's a hard time but that is the trap everything is supposed to be easy well life is not naturally easy

00:50:19.520 when something is truly easy when something is truly easy all the time it goes against nature

00:50:25.100 a financial downturn can negatively impact many people so we attend we tend to automatically think of

00:50:34.540 them as bad things and so we look for ways to stop them that's natural but it's wrong because it is

00:50:45.400 going against the natural force to stop them we invent organizations like the federal reserve

00:50:52.000 that was created to stop the so-called boom and bust cycles that we were you know you know in great pain

00:51:01.300 from we had boom and bust cycles we had depressions that would last a year everybody would lose everything

00:51:08.240 and then it would start back up and everything would be good for seven to ten years and then it got bad

00:51:14.220 so what we did is we invented the federal reserve did it work no no two years after the federal reserve

00:51:22.620 was formed the u.s experienced an economic depression 1920 i think it was then 12 years later the stock

00:51:31.480 market suffered the worst crash ever america entered the great depression and we've had a dozen

00:51:37.800 recessions since then in fact since the creation of the federal reserve system both the frequency and the severity

00:51:45.520 of u.s recessions has increased not decreased and you're going to understand why in a minute

00:51:52.960 to stop a recession we create national job programs we enact government infrastructure spending programs

00:52:02.520 we bail out banks we bail out auto auto manufacturing entire industries the fed pumps trillions of dollars

00:52:11.760 into the economy by buying bad mortgages government bonds stocks and failing pension funds yet each recession

00:52:20.960 we fight makes the next one much much worse

00:52:26.700 let me take a quick break and then i'm going to come back and tell you exactly why we shouldn't be

00:52:34.980 intervening into financial markets because it makes things worse and i'll show you exactly how and why

00:52:43.420 first let me tell you about simply safe i've talked to you about simply safe and how they protect your

00:52:50.520 home from burglars the average arrival time for police is 45 minutes but with simply safe it's

00:52:56.400 seven minutes now this is why i love simply safe when they first came on i think they had just a

00:53:02.300 handful of employees now they have hundreds and hundreds of employees and they're the best selling

00:53:07.400 uh system on the market they are the they are the best they are the benchmark now of home systems and

00:53:15.200 it's because they do things right they don't have any contracts um you can cancel at any time it's

00:53:21.260 fifteen dollars a month for the for this home security you own the system it's state of the art

00:53:27.900 uh and they now have video verification so when your alarm goes off it usually takes police about 45

00:53:35.440 minutes to get to a house after an alarm's gone off because it's usually a false alarm and so it goes to

00:53:41.400 the bottom of the list however with simply safe and they are the only people that provide this

00:53:46.820 simply safe has video verification so when the alarm goes off they look at the video cameras and they go

00:53:53.420 yep there's somebody in the house that shouldn't be there they call police and say this is real we have

00:53:59.360 an active burglar or emergency that goes your response time goes from 45 minutes to seven minutes

00:54:07.160 simply safe the top name in home security now simply safe has the deal going on where you can get

00:54:13.460 a free hd security camera when you order that's a hundred dollar value get your free hd security

00:54:19.620 camera right now at simply safe back.com that's s-m-i-p-l-i safe back.com that's simply safe back.com

00:54:28.220 we break for 10 seconds station id

00:54:30.160 continuing part two on our week-long series on the economy and things that you need to

00:54:48.880 know and understand if you're going to weather the storms that are ahead

00:54:53.000 um i want you to imagine for a minute that there is no federal reserve yay there's no legal authority

00:55:00.960 for the government to bail out any person or any industry we just have a simple truly free market

00:55:08.360 economy now in this world that you're imagining now during periods of economic expansion investments

00:55:16.300 get made people are inventing things they launch new businesses they speculate by investing in

00:55:22.980 stocks banks loan money to entrepreneurs people buy new cars new phones tvs jet skis they take out

00:55:30.360 loans to build an addition to their home things are expanding and things are good however the bank

00:55:37.980 can't you know make every investment that the bank is making by giving loans a great investment

00:55:46.140 people can't do that people have really good ideas for businesses maybe their timing is off

00:55:52.920 maybe they misread the market maybe it's a crappy idea but businesses fail not every investment

00:56:00.740 gets that gets made is equally wise or good not every product that is launched or business idea has the

00:56:07.680 same market value investments whether made to launch a new business or in a given stock eventually

00:56:15.300 either work out or they don't the smarter wiser wiser wiser or luckier investment goes up in value and there's a payout

00:56:26.000 the foolish risky or just unlucky investment lose values and goes bad this is not necessarily anybody's fault

00:56:35.900 sometimes it is sometimes it's not you could have an entire society of very well-intentioned hardworking and

00:56:42.300 perfectly moral people and this will occur because not every idea meets with success

00:56:49.460 so some investments work out some don't and when the bad or the unlucky investments go bad

00:56:57.120 they have to get flushed out of the system and the capital and the energy in which has been allocated to

00:57:03.740 that unproductive investment has to be redeployed to new hopefully more productive ones

00:57:09.560 so the small business owner who opened a restaurant that just didn't end up being as popular

00:57:15.620 uh as they hoped has to close the doors the homemakers whose handcraft handmade crafts are 1.00

00:57:23.720 not selling on etsy has to close down her website the company who invested billions of dollars trying to 0.99

00:57:30.920 invent the perpetual motion machine has failed and now has to lay off all of its employees and close their

00:57:37.400 doors that's the normal cycle some things are good some things are bad no outside shock or stock market

00:57:46.060 crash was needed no yield curve inversion no war no drought or hurricane ivan there were no nefarious

00:57:53.600 actors or crooks like gordon gecko or bernie madoff it was just the natural business cycle of self

00:58:01.320 organizing systems coming back into balance and reallocating energy and resources from underperforming

00:58:08.860 activities to more productive ones it's how we grow and get better there's a setback we learn from it we get

00:58:17.980 better now let's go back to seven years why does every recession happen tend to occur every seven years

00:58:30.780 it's because the average business loan is five to seven years long so it's as simple as that don't let

00:58:43.220 any economists tell you anything different about two years into economic expansion money is lent out

00:58:50.780 in earnest by banks to entrepreneurs who start or expand their business some of those businesses fail

00:58:59.160 some succeed and because the average loan is about five years long the businesses that are failing tend to

00:59:07.560 start start not paying things back about six or seven years into the economic expansion so banks have to

00:59:16.580 write off those losses they lend less businesses lay people off the economy absorbs the cycle of higher

00:59:25.180 higher unemployment and financial slowdown as a recession it's a period usually less than a year where the

00:59:32.700 economy shrinks as bad investment bad debt and bad ideas flushed out of the system now the president of

00:59:41.580 bridgewater capital eats that's one of the world's largest head fund uh calls this part of the cycle the

00:59:47.160 de-leveraging phase unsound or unlucky investments have to be flushed out of the financial system

00:59:54.920 and then a new period of investments and economic expansion occurs now yes when a recession occurs

01:00:04.160 otherwise innocent people are negatively impacted sometimes severely the server at the restaurant they

01:00:11.020 didn't do anything to deserve being laid off she's gonna have to deal with not having a job not having 1.00

01:00:17.000 income her children are going to suffer everyone's going to suffer the auto worker whose bosses decide to 1.00

01:00:23.180 invest billions in that perpetual motion engine didn't make a bad decision it was the bosses that did

01:00:30.140 but they're going to be laid off they deserve our sympathy and i believe more importantly they deserve

01:00:37.760 our help and assistance but not through a federal system instead as a community as people with a social

01:00:49.760 contract that we have with our neighbors we help people the further we get away from farming the further

01:00:58.760 we get away from this truth you might be the best farmer but for some reason something went wrong

01:01:07.100 weather water whatever it is something went wrong and you have a failing crop the other farmers around

01:01:15.540 you know i'm going to help this person and they rally around and they help each other because they know

01:01:22.720 some year down the road they're going to need the help and it's a social contract it's what keeps our

01:01:29.780 farming community solid now instead of doing those things instead of understanding the natural and healthy

01:01:39.700 cycle that exists within a free market economy which rewards the best ideas with sustained overall growth

01:01:47.620 we try to create a centrally planned system that will provide for positive growth for everybody

01:01:54.780 no one will ever ever suffer it's going to be great for all businesses at all time

01:02:01.020 we tend to believe that somehow this politician or this central banker can prevent a recession from

01:02:09.620 ever occurring it's not possible if the government were in charge of everything then smart bureaucrats and

01:02:19.040 committees could decide on what ideas are good and bad what to build when this is the elizabeth

01:02:24.740 warren plan what consumers want need all by harvard trained economists who now live in georgetown and

01:02:32.500 they are much smarter than ma and pa kettle in small town usa let me continue you will understand the free

01:02:43.020 market you will understand bernie sanders and elizabeth warren and why a recession is normal and natural

01:02:53.580 and you should not freak out instead we should actually freak out that the government is bailing

01:03:01.200 everyone out we've had 10 years past our last recession the next one could be worse

01:03:08.160 you're listening to glenn beck you know buying or selling a home is really hard nobody enjoys the

01:03:17.380 process but when you have to do it it helps immensely if you have somebody who actually knows what

01:03:23.760 they're doing and you trust them you need the best agent whether it's integrity or competence or both it

01:03:32.760 matters that you get the best of the best when you are selling or buying a home that's why we created

01:03:39.320 realestateagentsitrust.com we learned the best practices of great agents and we decided to build a network

01:03:46.180 of those great agents to help you sell or buy a home then a really cool thing happened the people

01:03:52.580 who have those best practices they saw what we were doing and they flooded and said i want to be a part of

01:03:58.900 this it's taken us many years to get this right to make sure we have everybody fully vetted and we watch

01:04:06.480 them every sale they make if they ever fall out of the parameters they're no longer in the system

01:04:12.340 if you want a great agent who has a high sense of urgency who's professional knows how to properly

01:04:35.940 welcome to the program the glenn beck program i uh i'm talking about recessions today and it's

01:04:47.180 important for you to understand this i'm trying to give you a week uh at this hour of of economic

01:04:54.060 food to chew on because i believe between now and 2030 the world is going to be facing economic collapse

01:05:04.100 and even the strongest free market advocate when they're affected they're going to rush towards

01:05:11.180 socialism we if if this economy doesn't hold together um if donald trump loses this race god

01:05:21.540 help us all because you're going to have somebody like elizabeth warren and she is going to use 0.98

01:05:27.940 the motherly we just need to take care of each other kind of thing and we will end the free market 1.00

01:05:34.860 it's part of her plan um so it's important that we all know what is right and why it's right

01:05:44.040 now recessions can be prevented they can be lessened with zero percent interest loans they

01:05:51.620 they can flood the market with with cheap money it doesn't usually help the lower class uh and middle

01:06:00.060 class doesn't really get rich it actually expands the distance between the poor and the wealthy

01:06:06.240 but financial mishaps can be prevented with government bailouts that's what we did in 08 poor investments

01:06:13.640 can be prevented with economic district planned you know by appointed committees financial cycles

01:06:21.240 can be prevented completely now listen to this by way of the modern monetary theory mmt and this is a

01:06:31.900 new theory it's not it's a very old theory and it is it does not work it's magic um we'll get into this uh

01:06:40.880 later on this week but it is where governments simply print money they need at any time they determine

01:06:47.820 they need it and any level of money it is it's zimbabwe it is venezuela and it will end our way of life 0.52

01:06:57.500 and you have people in washington now discussing it as a brilliant new idea so you can do a lot of

01:07:06.260 things but what tends to occur when governments and central banks interfere with financial markets

01:07:11.080 is they make the recession much worse so the next recession you know becomes a depression

01:07:18.080 it wouldn't have happened that way if you would have let it just go and people pay for the mistakes that

01:07:24.720 they made it creates a distortion in our financial market by injecting policies and currency and false

01:07:32.620 demand where it would not have otherwise been it makes it impossible the deleveraging process

01:07:39.800 doesn't happen it doesn't flush the bad business ideas and investments out of the system and make

01:07:46.100 room for new better ideas the banks never had to pay for their mistakes and they are much worse today

01:07:52.900 even with all the new regulation than they were before 2008 now i want to show you the worst example

01:07:59.780 of a centrally planned and controlled economy and how it makes things worse it's china yesterday i told you

01:08:06.860 that their debt to gdp is running at 400 and what was it 87 um percent to gdp

01:08:17.820 what we're running at about 68 percent of gdp which means take 68 percent of everything that we have

01:08:29.800 made and sold and purchased for the year take 68 percent of that and just add that to our debt

01:08:37.100 they're at 400 and negative 488 87 percent they are centrally planned they have 13 special economic

01:08:48.020 zones each one has a committee to determine what to build what investments to make what resources to

01:08:54.600 and for years pundits the media people uh in banking they all talk about the chinese miracle

01:09:03.300 an unprecedented 22 years in a row of gdp growth at least on paper this is why they have ghost cities

01:09:14.400 entire gigantic cities with no one living in them according to merrill lynch more than 50 percent of

01:09:23.660 the companies in china are actually bankrupt 50 they are zombie companies they're kept alive not

01:09:31.440 because they're able to produce a profit or pay debts but because their debts are continually

01:09:36.740 refinanced by the central bank in a never-ending cycle of more debt to cover the bad investments

01:09:43.820 it's the very definition of good money after bad this is why as i told you yesterday they had to create

01:09:52.640 50 trillion dollars in new currency since 2014 50 trillion so you know all the currency in print from

01:10:00.720 all over the world today is 60 trillion so they almost they printed almost what every country in the world

01:10:09.240 has in in currency and half of that went into these zombie companies wow now what happens when bad

01:10:20.820 companies and poor investments aren't allowed to fail for political reasons

01:10:25.340 well one analogy is think of forest fires think of forest fire we we have this knee-jerk reaction

01:10:33.900 when a forest fire occurs oh no there's a fire something's gone wrong we've got to put it out

01:10:38.760 we've got to save the the forests well no now wait a minute hold it just a second the forest will grow

01:10:45.400 back it will grow back it is natural now if somebody is doing arson that's different but lightning is

01:10:53.780 natural we have more forest now than we've ever had because why we don't let them burn like it happened

01:11:05.000 in nature and we also plant an awful lot of trees we all know that it's settled science that fires are

01:11:13.880 a very important part of ecological the ecological cycle it helps keep the forest healthy

01:11:21.600 it also removes the older unhealthy and dead plants and converts them into a nutritional resource for the soil

01:11:30.920 and it allows a much healthier forest to grow our continued intervention into that natural cycle of forest fire

01:11:41.180 prevents the dead underbrush and the fallen trees from being removed this is why california has fire

01:11:48.280 after fire after fire the fire when when you do that the fire just rolls through it becomes an out of

01:11:59.440 control firestorm that destroys the entire forest and not just the dead and unhealthy underbrush

01:12:06.520 the credit cycle is the same it is the natural way for self-organizing markets to ensure that resources

01:12:14.960 are allocated to the healthiest and most productive ideas products and companies and when they go out

01:12:20.080 of business when people learn their lesson they pay the price for bad decisions it's painful just like a

01:12:26.660 forest fire is but it adds nutrients to the soil of the free market so it's good for economies

01:12:34.620 however if you interfere it's very bad a little spot fire pops up in the economy we extinguish it with

01:12:47.620 mountains of zero interest loans bailouts from government and investments we are we are making it much

01:12:55.280 much worse our economy is strewn now with overgrown companies and programs that simply grow the bubble

01:13:04.060 even bigger it's happening in the banking sector which brings us to presidents it is understandable that

01:13:13.560 politicians do not like recessions i don't want a recession and i'm telling you if the economy goes

01:13:19.860 to hell in a handbasket which many people are rooting for it means the president loses this and if he loses

01:13:28.260 this race we become a planned society without a free market during recessions everybody's looking for

01:13:37.780 somebody to blame because we think recessions are not natural that they're bad the president the most

01:13:44.540 visible politician he has the most authority and so he gets an you know outsized share of the blame when

01:13:52.640 quote something goes wrong and if you look at the presidency since world war ii every one-term president

01:13:59.740 had their first term marred by a recession ford carter bush one ford probably was doomed anyway because

01:14:07.860 of nixon but the trend holds before world war ii recessions also took their toll with you know the

01:14:16.060 with four one-term presidents suffering through a recession or depression during the first term

01:14:20.620 two others were assassinated and and fdr did break the mold uh but he was you know he elongated i think

01:14:29.400 the worst economy in u.s history and he sold the the uh people a line of lies that were were just that they

01:14:40.100 were lies they were not helping anyone they were elongating things and he did it out of compassion

01:14:46.360 which can be misplaced trump however i think is the most acute case of recession impacting re-election

01:14:56.900 chances that we've ever seen because he has built his presidency on the economy he has taken credit for

01:15:05.060 everything so stocks are up unemployment low gdp growth been solid every quarter top line metrics look good

01:15:13.420 he talks about it he says see what we're doing is good it makes him vulnerable to a downturn very

01:15:20.660 vulnerable especially in this where the media and everybody else is just not telling you the truth

01:15:25.920 he knows this and he's going to be keenly focused on the economy let's make sure it doesn't slip into

01:15:34.200 recession i think it'll cost he and his team are already advocating a fed cut for interest rates restart the

01:15:41.740 quantitative easing by just buying distressed assets like farmers that are losing their farms and we

01:15:50.320 should expect more of that over the next few months now here's some good news everybody in the fed they

01:15:59.260 are looking at they look at themselves like heroes they are uh they are um jesus neo from the matrix

01:16:08.620 uh you know and ben bernanke all rolled up into one they just they didn't learn anything from this

01:16:15.700 they think what they did was save the economy and in some ways they were right

01:16:20.460 the the federal reserve did reload uh do you did reload after the bailouts of 2009 central banks around

01:16:30.780 the world did not but we raised our interest rates off the zero percent level we got them up to

01:16:38.060 2.5 and we sold a lot of that bad debt until recently every time we sold it the market crashed

01:16:46.240 20 percent first in january then in april then october to christmas um and since then they haven't

01:16:52.980 deleveraged anything but they do have some ammo to stave off a recession at least for a while but it will

01:17:00.120 make the next one worse now here's what we can do we can prepare ourselves and our families our

01:17:09.340 businesses and our communities we can keep what we have in safe places we can make sure that we have

01:17:16.060 savings and it may mean that you sacrifice you know something you want today uh for you know so you

01:17:24.200 have something when it's raining outside you can pay off the debt where you can you can refinance in

01:17:32.220 uh um right now into a lower interest rate get those credit card debt get it down um get your interest

01:17:40.440 rate then the credit cards from 18 to 4 if you can cut back on all unnecessary expenses and i know this

01:17:49.940 sounds stupid but i think one of the reasons why we suffer so much today is because we have broken

01:17:57.600 our covenant as a covenant nation every single day we have chased god out of our schools out of our 0.99

01:18:04.880 churches many of them we don't have any rules anymore we don't believe in in truth anymore and we were

01:18:13.880 a covenant nation we have to start living the covenant we have to start behaving like god's people

01:18:23.920 which means we have to start serving each other more we have to start being decent more we have to

01:18:30.060 restrain the natural man in us and the biggest part of that is getting down on our knees humbling

01:18:39.860 ourself asking for forgiveness and praying for our country praying that what his will is is done

01:18:50.060 whether we like it or not whatever he deems is best for us that it's done and we accept it and that our

01:18:59.380 hearts are softened so we can help one another through whatever comes more tomorrow

01:19:06.940 somewhere within the sound of my voice there is a man with a whistle around his neck and he is aching

01:19:16.200 to hear its shrill call just one more time he gets up in the morning he goes for a walk and he walks

01:19:22.360 the sidelines of a dew-covered gridiron and his tekovis boots making a fine firm noise now time was

01:19:30.940 he would go he played on that field and then he took the boys to state almost every year as he became

01:19:38.660 the coach and every time it was almost as satisfying as if he had managed to go himself back in the old

01:19:45.600 days the boys stood for something immortal in that game just as tekovis boots stands for something

01:19:52.760 immortal in him now it's about character and quality tekovis i want you to check out their boots

01:19:59.400 they are really well made half the price of anything in its class check out their boots check out their

01:20:06.720 western wear it's tekovis boots tekovis t-e-c-o-v-a-s dot com slash back tekovis dot com slash back

01:20:22.860 yeah congratulations to the republican governor of idaho brad little is his name

01:20:41.200 um he was told by the three judges on the ninth circuit court of appeals that the state of idaho

01:20:49.540 must pay a pay for the male to female gender reassignment surgery of an inmate sentenced to

01:20:56.360 10 years in prison for sexually abusing a 15 year old boy um only attracted to boys i guess because

01:21:04.640 he's actually a female and he wants to be reassigned as a female that's about uh a 20 to 30 thousand 1.00

01:21:13.300 dollar surgery uh the governor said no i don't think the taxpayers are going to pay for that

01:21:18.900 i agree 110 percent pain and suffering cruel and unusual punishment is what the court says

01:24:02.420 luxury beliefs they're the latest status symbol for rich americans just that is so true but when you hear

01:24:11.960 the effect of what that status symbol is doing to everyone else it really rings home as something

01:24:19.840 that is very very bad for our society we go there in one minute this is the glenbeck program

01:24:27.580 you know it only takes one major disaster to remind us how fragile our lives really are how easily the

01:24:36.520 well-oiled machine of society can break down life can change that fast and when it changes

01:26:31.580 so rob henderson writes in the new york post a former classmate from yale recently told me that

01:26:56.340 monogamy is kind of outdated not good for society so i asked her what her background is and if she

01:27:02.340 planned on marrying she said she comes from an affluent family works at a well-known technology

01:27:07.840 company and yes she personally intends to have a monogamous marriage but quickly added that marriage 1.00

01:27:13.180 shouldn't have to be for everyone but she was raised by a traditional family she planned on having a

01:27:19.080 traditional family but she maintained that traditional families are old-fashioned and society

01:27:24.160 should evolve beyond them i asked myself what could explain this welcome to the program rob henderson how

01:27:31.960 are you sir good glenn thanks for having me you bet i i really enjoyed your article um what explains

01:27:39.880 that and why is it a problem yeah well you know glenn i study social psychology and how people are

01:27:48.300 influenced by others as a phd student at cambridge and you know based on a lot of research it seems

01:27:53.560 that social status is a key driver in how people think and how how we behave and in fact you know

01:28:00.060 a lot of this research shows that you know respect and admiration from our peers contributes more to

01:28:05.300 our sense of well-being than even how much money we make and so this is sort of how i came up with

01:28:09.400 the idea of luxury beliefs and so this we experienced this sort of pleasure to or pressure to display

01:28:16.300 our status in new ways and you know one way we do this is by displaying you know sort of our prestige

01:28:22.760 our intelligence our education and you know we do this by coming up with sort of clever and bizarre

01:28:27.880 arguments you know and so one concern that i have is that you know the beliefs of the upper class

01:28:33.740 you know they continue to to change and update as people below them adopt these beliefs and so

01:28:39.960 their beliefs the upper class beliefs become more wild and more exotic and further distance themselves

01:28:44.440 from ordinary people they're sort of constantly updating their belief wardrobe so what is what

01:28:50.580 is is causing them to do that um and and because in the old days if you were rich you might have

01:28:59.940 lived a different lifestyle like the vanderbilts lived a different lifestyle but they didn't want to be 1.00

01:29:06.400 known as as um denigrating or or um tearing apart everyone else they wanted to be seen as the average

01:29:17.040 decent american what's happened yeah well i think uh you know two things might be going on one is that um

01:29:25.860 so sort of luxury goods and and having you know uh fancy uh items it's just these goods are becoming

01:29:33.000 more affordable so everyone can uh purchase them and another is that um it's it's maybe not so cool

01:29:41.360 to display your wealth with with material goods anymore um i think a lot of people maybe think it's

01:29:46.820 uh sort of tacky or it sort of um makes people feel bad to you know if i get to afford this item but

01:29:53.100 you don't get to have it and so both of those things simultaneously make material goods not so appealing

01:29:57.940 so a new way that the upper class can display their status is to have these sort of unusual

01:30:04.380 and in some cases even bizarre beliefs um and you know in many cases they hold these beliefs um with

01:30:12.460 good intentions they think that they're maybe doing the right thing but i think alongside that maybe more

01:30:18.600 kind-hearted motive is also this motive to sort of display their social class so give me a give me

01:30:26.240 some examples of luxury beliefs sure so one belief that i talk about in the new york post article is

01:30:34.600 the belief that all family structures are equal there's this sort of non-judgmental attitude that a

01:30:40.000 lot of you know educated people have um you know whether you're single parent or step parent or have a

01:30:45.920 you know polyamorous sort of situation with the parents um you know they're all equal but you know

01:30:52.100 the actual empirical evidence is clear that families with two married parents are you know the safest

01:30:57.300 and most beneficial for young children and you know often it's it's members of the upper class who

01:31:02.640 you know as you as you noted uh reading the article there that grew up with two married parents and

01:31:07.420 you know somehow these are the sort of you know on the uh of the belief that you know monogamy is

01:31:13.300 outdated or that you know marriage is some kind of uh you know an oppressive structure or that you

01:31:18.800 know all families are exactly the same um and i think this relaxed attitude about monogamy and

01:31:24.780 marriage it trickles down to the working class and the poor and you know as you said you know marriage

01:31:29.240 between or marriage rates between the upper class and lower class americans were actually quite similar

01:31:34.100 uh in the 1960s because there were strong social norms in place um and then affluent americans during

01:31:41.880 that time started expressing more skepticism about marriage and monogamy and this sort of trickled

01:31:48.140 down to the lower classes and eroded the social norms for for those people but for the upper classes

01:31:54.100 marriage rates actually remained roughly steady such that they're basically getting married at the

01:31:58.440 same rates today so why the disconnect why the people preaching it they say this do they not believe it

01:32:08.320 you know that's an interesting question about belief um i think that they many of them probably do

01:32:14.940 believe it on some level but i'm also not entirely sure how much belief actually matters i think that

01:32:21.420 this drive for social status is so strong that people can kind of convince themselves of you know

01:32:27.540 strange beliefs if it gives them the sort of respect and the admiration of their peers you know if it's

01:32:32.780 trendy and cool in the moment uh in one social group to say that you know

01:32:37.540 polyamory is is is fine then people will just say that because they don't want to risk being

01:32:42.820 ostracized and outcast by you know their peers so so help me out on on one thing how did it become

01:32:51.560 a uh a luxury um to have some of these beliefs for instance all families are equal that really started

01:33:01.000 at least the way i see it either one of two ways um it either started as a you know deconstruction kind

01:33:09.460 of post-modernism plan uh and was planted to to destroy our society or it came from a place to where

01:33:19.680 nobody wants to nobody wants to harm or say things that makes the single mom uh you know or the mixed

01:33:28.320 family feel bad um and so you're like no you know you have a good you have a good marriage and you

01:33:35.600 have a you know or you have a good family and your family is mixed and so that's fine whatever

01:33:40.420 but we we can't seem to find it within ourselves to actually go the extra step and say nothing to do

01:33:50.540 with you but if there is a choice it's best that the family stays together i know this first i'm a

01:33:58.940 divorced guy and from my first marriage i have two children it would have been a lot better for them

01:34:06.240 if mom and dad were still together their life dramatically changed their scars and everything

01:34:11.980 else which is normal that doesn't make me a bad guy or you know or mom a bad guy a bad person it's just

01:34:19.960 that happens sometimes but we should be able to say yeah but that's the goal to get here how come we

01:34:28.880 don't say that how come that how come why is that gone yeah well i mean uh i think the the first

01:34:38.060 reason you you posited there about you know sort of post-modern deconstruction i think that that's

01:34:44.580 that's an example of sort of displaying one's intelligence and education you know you can only

01:34:50.080 learn an idea like that in an elite university or or at college right i mean you know ordinary people

01:34:55.900 um aren't spending their days reading about you know derrida or foucault or something like that

01:35:01.280 right um and and i think the second reason you said you know this this idea of like you know we

01:35:05.800 don't want to we don't want to make people feel bad um we don't want to judge people um

01:35:11.060 yeah i think there's this you know belief that you know they're they're downtrodden and we shouldn't

01:35:15.420 make others feel bad and we shouldn't um you know sort of elevate ourselves above them um by telling

01:35:20.860 them that certain things certain behaviors lead to better outcomes than others um so yeah i think on

01:35:25.800 the one hand it makes us feel good to have these you know sort of fancy beliefs about post-modernism

01:35:30.960 and then we also don't want to make others feel bad about their lifestyle choices

01:35:35.960 and a luxury belief would be um the one that uh maybe comes from you understanding post-modernism

01:35:45.180 and understanding uh or is it just at the level of i just don't want to be ostracized and this is what 0.84

01:35:52.640 my peers are saying because they went to college and were indoctrinated with this crap i think both of

01:36:00.000 those are are you know sort of key components of of luxury beliefs and you know the way that luxury 0.96

01:36:06.760 beliefs impose costs on others you know first you know they're the expression of luxury beliefs require

01:36:13.260 you know learning that sort of complicated vocabulary and then you know on the other hand uh the luxury

01:36:19.640 belief of it doesn't matter you know things are exactly the same i don't want to judge and yeah i think

01:36:25.420 that there's a there's sort of both of those components at work here um so that the outcome

01:36:32.380 is that the person expressing this belief is raising their status while also you know intentionally or

01:36:38.320 not creating harm for for people below them you you point something out that i think is so good in this

01:36:44.540 you talk about the um religion is irrational or harmful members of the upper class are likely to be

01:36:52.240 atheist or non-religious uh but they have resources and access to thrive without a unifying social 0.98

01:36:58.180 edifice of religion um tell me why the upper class is different than the lower class in this

01:37:06.440 you've talked about it in your article yeah i mean yeah a lot of members of the upper class seem to have

01:37:13.980 a sort of passe attitude towards religion that you know they're they're non-religious or you know

01:37:19.060 atheist or agnostic and they sort of approach religion from an intellectual standpoint um but they

01:37:26.160 also have you know in their own lives the upper classes tend to have resources and social connections

01:37:31.400 to to thrive um without having to rely on their neighbors or their community you know the sort of

01:37:40.900 people who who are around them and i think religion sort of provides that like unifying social

01:37:46.720 um so that people can come together and have a reason to to care for one another um and i i think

01:37:53.960 that yeah denigrating the importance of religion doesn't really harm the rich very much i think it

01:37:58.020 harms the poor you know lack of religion can give rise to sort of meaninglessness and feelings of

01:38:03.680 despair well whereas the rich they already have those resources they already have the access

01:38:08.080 and oftentimes they find their meaning through you know traveling the world or through unusual hobbies or

01:38:15.440 or even their work as you point out even their profession they might have a profession but most

01:38:20.960 people have a job and there's a huge difference right um yeah exactly most i i only have about uh 40

01:38:28.880 seconds left can you can you just tell me where are we in this trend i mean you know fashion clothing

01:38:37.060 goes out of style are we at the beginning of this middle of this where are we yeah so it's interesting i

01:38:45.240 think that um one one sign uh that we may be shifting trends here is the popularity of this

01:38:53.260 article in of itself um you know i think that a lot of the things that i point out in that article

01:38:57.880 used to be known as sort of conventional wisdom you know like a two-parent family is good for kids

01:39:02.620 correct i'm not sure when that became you know sort of uh an edgy thing to say but a lot of people now

01:39:10.360 seem to uh resonate with it and agree with it and i think we may be slowly turning the tide such that

01:39:16.080 a lot of people are coming around back to um these more you know sort of typical conventional beliefs

01:39:22.260 they don't feel the need to you know sort of jump on the bandwagon for the for the latest you know

01:39:27.880 bizarre luxury belief i hope that you are right uh rob henderson thank you so much i appreciate it

01:39:34.060 thank you glenn you bet uh i want to talk to you a little bit about times gone by you know as we're

01:39:40.840 talking about these things uh these luxury beliefs you know there things used to be a lot simpler

01:39:46.840 a coke down at the drugstore cost you a nickel you want to take your girl out for a movie

01:39:53.220 you know how much was it it wasn't 75 bucks to go to a movie theater and every flat top wearing dad who

01:41:32.220 um he is very well known i mean he's in the class i think of uh of a donald trump in a way that when

01:41:41.940 you think of business people he would be one of the names that would pop up into your head

01:41:46.780 like you know donald trump i say say you know famous business person donald trump uh this guy is is in

01:41:53.920 that category and he wrote to me um out of the blue uh obviously he was listening to the program

01:42:02.040 and he said glenn patrick byrne is insane and he said uh you don't don't put your trust in patrick 0.92

01:42:15.600 burn this is nuts it's he's nuts uh and uh and just don't believe him he's the overstock ceo until 0.97

01:42:25.000 recently right um you know patrick is is really quirky but so is this guy so is donald trump 0.94

01:42:35.420 people who are like that so is you know so is warren buffett he's quirky um these people tend to be

01:42:43.320 quirky but i don't i don't see this with patrick byrne uh as something i've i've heard patrick say

01:42:51.880 some crazy things like hey bitcoin's gonna be the future i know crazy right when he said it was

01:42:58.840 30 and now it's what 11 000 yeah that's crazy um sometimes you're right sometimes you're wrong but

01:43:05.720 this one makes sense to me i believe patrick on this do you you're talking about his um

01:43:13.220 claim that there was a deep state that was trying to uh the there's a there's a strain of fbi people

01:43:20.280 or justice department people not all of them that he was involved with that uh we're asking him to do

01:43:29.040 things that he didn't understand he's got a national security clearance uh and then once he saw the trump

01:43:34.920 investigation in this russia stuff he was like whoa this is all a setup and he mentioned it

01:43:42.860 recently because he's saying that bill barr is going to clean it up and you're going to know

01:43:48.420 about it soon and uh and whether he said that to make sure that bill barr and the justice department

01:43:56.280 kind of include some of these things or have to respond to it i don't know but i believe him and

01:44:03.200 john solomon he is the executive vice president of the hill he's an opinion contributor because he's

01:44:09.880 conservative uh but he is a great great investigative journalist we're going to talk to him about the

01:45:54.260 the man who previously worked at the associated press the washington post the washington times he

01:46:08.760 is an award-winning investigative journalist and now the executive vice president at the hill his name

01:46:14.540 is john solomon he is somebody who actually is looking for the truth and i appreciate uh his work

01:46:22.200 and his willingness to come on the um on the program welcome john how are you ah good good to be with you glenn

01:46:29.880 yeah so uh tell me i i want to i want to talk to you about a couple of things first of all the fbi

01:46:37.440 seems to be investigating the clintons again well uh that is a good question the fbi should be

01:46:45.760 investigating the clintons again based on the fact that uh there was a discovery of some highly

01:46:50.220 classified evidence that the fbi never examined as part of its clinton email server investigation

01:46:56.600 it's remarkable we're three years uh past the close of that investigation that's a very controversial

01:47:02.340 closed down case james comey remember all the things that went on with that yeah uh we now we

01:47:07.280 learned three years later that there was this highly classified pile of documents very important

01:47:12.640 information information that the agents working the case themselves said was going to be important

01:47:17.600 to look at before they made a determination on hillary clinton's culpability and they never looked

01:47:23.360 at it they looked the other way somebody wouldn't allow them to look at that evidence and so three

01:47:27.280 years later thanks to some letters between senator grassley senators grassley and johnson and the

01:47:33.300 inspector general of the justice department michael horowitz we learned of the existence of these

01:47:37.480 documents and the fact that the fbi never looked at them and and what's frustrating is those senators

01:47:42.820 can't get an answer from the justice department and fbi it's the bar trump justice department has not

01:47:48.160 answered these senators about whether they're going to take a look at this evidence why do you suppose

01:47:52.780 that's happening it's a remarkable thing the inertia inside bureaucracy right and so uh there is

01:47:59.640 something in these documents that must be remarkably sensitive and perhaps may may cause pressure or

01:48:04.500 questions to reopen the case and uh it does not appear the fbi wants to go down that path but uh it isn't

01:48:11.220 fair to us in america and it is an equal justice system if you don't complete the job you started we

01:48:16.320 gave mrs clinton a pass during the 2016 election even though there was broad evidence that she

01:48:22.140 transmitted highly classified information on a private server she did not get prosecuted then and

01:48:27.140 we find out that a key piece of evidence wasn't examined that always makes us suspicious in the

01:48:32.580 american public so john it's not i'm not as concerned about the investigation in the clintons because

01:48:37.780 i think i know what you know i think i know what they are i am really concerned that we should be

01:48:46.500 investigating the entire justice department um i don't think that everybody in the fbi is dirty i

01:48:53.160 don't think everybody in the justice department is dirty but there are people apparently that are

01:48:59.080 dirty and will move things for political reasons and that is that's not america once we lose trust

01:49:07.480 in our justice system we become you know mexico or haiti or whatever right no it's so integral

01:49:16.000 and we always expect that whether you're democrat or republican white or black uh live in connecticut or

01:49:23.480 live in florida we're all going to be treated the same when the justice department looks at us and

01:49:27.420 over the last few years we've seen a really strong body evidence that people got treated differently

01:49:32.860 based on their political connections or their political affiliation and that troubles the

01:49:37.340 everyday american i go out when i'm out and about traveling in the real world people come up to you

01:49:41.500 and say you know it feels like there's two justice systems one today for the democrats and hillary 1.00

01:49:45.060 clinton and the other for republicans and everyday common man and i think that perception is deeply

01:49:51.100 troubling and and and and really cuts at the roots of our our great democracy and i think bill

01:49:56.780 barr has an enormous opportunity to fix this justice department put the people that are so good in it

01:50:02.360 they're 99 of them are amazing agents and investigators and lawyers get the one percent out and get this

01:50:08.600 house put back in order so that we can trust the uh the legal system do you believe bill barr is that guy

01:50:14.220 i think he is he certainly has uh the credentials to do it he has shown early on in the russian

01:50:20.600 investigation to talk candidly and honestly and not use the euphemisms in the bureaucratic

01:50:25.260 blarney that we heard earlier people using that job uh the real question will come down to will he

01:50:31.500 really identify the faults will he really punish people will there be real criminal prosecution

01:50:36.240 and uh the next three months are our telling point we're going to learn from the inspector general just

01:50:42.260 how bad the russia fisa was we're going to learn from john derm just how much spying went on on a

01:50:47.940 political campaign and then it will be in bill barr's corner to decide how who does he punish how does he

01:50:53.760 punish them how does he fix this how does he make sure this never happens to another presidential

01:50:58.360 candidate or another american ever again what does your gut tell you my gut tells me there will be a

01:51:05.700 lot of shaming there will be a really honest accounting like we got after 9-11 if you remember

01:51:10.340 all the mistakes that the fbi made failing to connect the dots before 9-11 there'll be a lot of

01:51:15.700 shaming a lot of honest discussion about what was wrong no more of these euphemisms and spin

01:51:20.600 jobs that we've gotten from the justice department and fbi i think the threshold for prosecuting a

01:51:26.160 former fbi agent or an fbi justice department official is very high in this because of the

01:51:32.280 natural inertia in the justice department i don't think that's right but i do think that it exists

01:51:37.120 uh and we'll we'll find out uh you know whether the justice department is serious if they they carry

01:51:43.480 out some prosecutions we know for 15 months now andy mccabe has been sitting there identified having

01:51:49.600 conduct uh created or committed criminality uh clearly lied just like we accused mike flynn just

01:51:55.980 like we've accused papadopoulos and in 15 months he hasn't been uh charged despite two trump attorney

01:52:01.560 generals so when you look at that case you have to wonder are they going to do it now the statute of

01:52:06.540 limitations is coming up on that and it's going to be judgment time pretty soon if andy mccabe gets

01:52:11.380 indicted for lying just like the other people in the russia case did then i think people will feel

01:52:15.780 feel justice is done if he walks this continuing question of two justice departments or two systems

01:52:21.420 of justice is going to persist and i don't think it's just one for the republicans and one for the

01:52:27.480 that's right for the democrats i think it is one for the privileged and then for the rest of everybody

01:52:33.200 else um that's a very good point um john talk to me about the article that you wrote uh a few days ago

01:52:40.700 the 10 declassified russian collusion revelations that could rock washington this fall yep so uh behind

01:52:48.520 the scenes there's been an apparatus that the president has been building hasn't unveiled it

01:52:52.360 yet but it's going to be a special office that's going to declassify and give us true visibility into

01:52:57.480 what really went on in the russia case from from the beginning origins all the way back to march when

01:53:02.040 george papadopoulos first met with an academic in rome all the way through the uh end of the muller

01:53:08.180 report okay hold on hold on hold on hold on sure is this a real office or is this a political office

01:53:15.080 this is a real office okay going to be empowered with the power of the presidency

01:53:19.100 and uh it's going to fulfill the very public statement that donald trump made that he was

01:53:24.940 going to declassify this information i think a lot of people thought when he gave the declassification

01:53:29.780 authority to bar that bar was going to do this sort of public relations declassification explain all

01:53:34.960 the documents he gave that the power to bar so that he could do his investigation if the cia fbi

01:53:40.000 didn't want to give up something he had the power to go get it declassified and look at it or share

01:53:44.280 it with prosecutors and fbi agents working on the case but for the public the president has always had

01:53:49.460 a a different idea in mind somebody that could tell a story explain it all in layman's terms help

01:53:54.740 us understand what happens so it never happens again that office is being set up and i would begin

01:53:59.700 to i believe that in mid-september forward we're going to see the documents be declassified that

01:54:04.960 we've been waiting for for more than two years i picked my 10 favorite that i know from all the

01:54:09.300 investigators i've talked to are the most transformational and uh and they they range from

01:54:14.740 statements that george papadopoulos and carter page made to fbi informants or on tape uh where they

01:54:21.440 were clearly expressing their innocence and that was not provided to the fisa court to uh you know really

01:54:27.100 basic information like what was in the fisa and what was excluded in the fisa we still don't know

01:54:31.900 what was in all those redacted pages there is a significant amount of very important information

01:54:37.160 that will really uh rankle washington in the fall when these documents uh get get public i'll give you

01:54:43.940 one fun one because it just teases the the imagination uh the house investigators that did the house

01:54:50.840 intelligence review they had 53 interviews of really key people most of the main players in the

01:54:55.480 investigation there's a revelation in one of those interviews that the democratic national

01:54:59.760 committee was in touch with the cia and you have to ask yourself the cia has no responsibility on

01:55:05.180 domestic soil the dnc is a political organization why were these two organizations talking and i think

01:55:10.980 when we get that answer we'll see just how big a dirty political trick the russia probe really was

01:55:16.000 holy cow all right um one more question i had somebody um a very well-known big business person

01:55:25.100 who wrote to me and said glenn patrick byrne is out of his mind insane uh and i know patrick he is 0.60

01:55:33.040 he is different he thinks differently he's a libertarian um but i don't think he's dishonest

01:55:40.120 uh have you looked into this stuff with patrick are you heard anymore what do you think

01:55:45.420 i have done a lot of reporting over the weekend after his cnn interview so what i've learned is that

01:55:50.700 the original material that my my old colleague sarah carter fantastic journalist one of the best in

01:55:55.720 the country reported early on about patrick byrne is spot on those are accurate uh facts and and that

01:56:02.540 her storyline is the accurate storyline of what byrne did and didn't do with the fbi and what was going

01:56:07.040 on there was some soft operation going on now how much he initiated it versus the fbi controlled him

01:56:13.440 is in dispute but i believe the justice department lawyers who interviewed burn a few months back found

01:56:19.360 him credible and that his timeline matched the other timelines of things that they're finding in

01:56:24.180 the ongoing investigation i think his more recent comments what i've been told by people who are in

01:56:29.060 the know of the evidence his more recent comments spinning a more elaborate conspiracy of multiple

01:56:34.520 people and the fbi controlling him i don't think those are going to pan out with the facts but i do

01:56:39.620 believe there was contact and exchange of information and the fbi might have been using him as a soft way

01:56:45.480 of probing this trump russia uh collusion theory which of course has fallen apart uh very clearly

01:56:51.580 before our eyes but i think it's those are the sort of revelations we're going to get in these

01:56:55.960 documents in the fall there were multiple efforts to probe monitor spy on the trump campaign and we

01:57:01.600 don't know them all we think we do but we don't i don't think we know 70 of what really went on in

01:57:06.520 this investigation yet this fall will be that opportunity for accounting boy oh boy i mean if

01:57:11.820 there's real if if people are actually looking for the truth and it is half of what i think it might be

01:57:19.380 uh we have a we have a a government or a justice department that is really out of control not all of them

01:57:28.200 just some there's a strain in there that is really out of control i agree i i talked to this senior

01:57:35.960 justice department official who has been in the game non-partisan been in the job 20 30 years and

01:57:41.040 he said things that he's seen have shocked his conscience and he said i thought i saw everything

01:57:45.340 in my 30 years i think people are beginning to realize that this was a political operation

01:57:50.460 conducted under the authority of the u.s intelligence community that's something we never envisioned as

01:57:55.580 america would happen and we have to expose it get it out there punish the bad guys and then it won't 0.58

01:58:01.300 happen again i think i think that's the the right recipe for solving what happened here i think so too

01:58:05.920 but i have i'm a different man than i was 20 years ago i wonder i wonder if anyone really will be

01:58:12.780 punished uh we have the same concern we'll have to wait and see yeah i think that's a real legitimate

01:58:17.960 concern john solomon thank you so much executive vice president of the hill thank you you bet bye

01:58:22.980 isn't it nice to talk to somebody who is who's actually doing their job and you know is not

01:58:32.480 swaying it one way or another just telling you the truth following the facts where they go yeah it's

02:01:22.940 this point here she is listen to this jen rubin we should be doing is shunning these people shunning 1.00

02:01:29.280 shaming these people is a statement of moral indignation that these people are not fit for

02:01:35.000 polite society i think any institution in university of virginia for example for a bit had a relationship

02:01:40.580 with mark short who is now back with the administration i think it's absolutely abhorrent

02:01:45.560 that any institution of higher learning any um news organization or any or entertainment

02:01:51.980 organization that has a news outlet would hire these people it's not only that trump has to lose

02:01:57.760 but that all his enablers have to lose they have to we have to collectively in essence burn down the
