The Glenn Beck Program - 'Square Your Shoulders and Take a Bow'？

00:00:00.000 The Blaze Radio Network, on demand, Glenn Beck.

00:00:07.700 So we have Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

00:00:11.780 She continues to sound like a college student in an introduction to philosophy class full

00:00:17.380 of misinformation and ridiculous analogies and downright mistruths.

00:00:23.460 Oh, that's a nice word.

00:00:25.520 Maybe in the old days, one of you used to call them lies.

00:00:27.900 In a recent interview with PBS's Margaret Hoover, socialist.

00:00:33.900 Oh, is that a racist?

00:00:36.160 Why would you use a racist comment?

00:00:38.160 No, not racist.

00:00:39.920 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called Israel the occupiers of Palestine.

00:00:46.420 Now, she was really flexing that degree that she has in international relations from Boston University.

00:00:54.360 Then there's this.

00:00:56.160 Well, I think the numbers that you just talked about is part of the problem, right?

00:01:01.560 Because we look at these figures and we say, oh, unemployment is low.

00:01:05.100 Everything is fine, right?

00:01:06.500 Well, unemployment is low because everyone has two jobs.

00:01:10.080 Unemployment is low because people are working 60, 70, 80 hours a week and can barely feed their kids.

00:01:16.840 OK, now, those situations do exist in America.

00:01:21.720 But as reported by PolitiFact, which awarded her the label of pants on fire on this one, on the truth of truth of meter, the Bureau of Labor Statistics keeps track of how many people work two jobs rather than just one.

00:01:37.220 And over the past 12 months, the number of multiple job holders has ranged between six and seven million.

00:01:45.560 That compares to more than 148 million Americans who are employed in a single job.

00:01:52.760 The difference is, and not only outlandishly different from her claim, it is pretty wrong.

00:02:01.980 Pretty wrong.

00:02:02.840 If you look at the difference on a graph in comparison to the number of single job holders, the portion of multiple job holders barely appears.

00:02:11.720 It's not anywhere close.

00:02:14.060 In other words, you're you're misleading people.

00:02:18.360 No, there he goes again.

00:02:19.920 Why doesn't he just say lie?

00:02:23.280 She's arrogantly stating a lie as if it is an undeniable fact.

00:02:29.600 Now, I want to give her the benefit of the doubt that she just believes this, that she doesn't think she's lying.

00:02:38.460 She's just misinformed.

00:02:40.040 Here's Margaret Hoover's measured response.

00:02:43.700 And so I do think that right now when we have this no holds barred, wild west hyper capitalism, what that means is profit at any cost.

00:02:56.240 Capitalism has not always existed in the world and it will not always exist in the world.

00:03:01.440 When this country started, we were not a capitalist.

00:03:03.860 We did not operate on a capitalist economy.

00:03:06.120 The benefit of capitalism is that you engage in voluntary trade and that because it creates value, it is the system that, unlike all the others, has lifted more people out of poverty over the course of human history than any other system.

00:03:22.520 Well, so I think that those things that you talk about, that you discuss, are part of the course of human evolution.

00:03:31.780 And so I would hope that the most recent economic system, our current economic system, is the one that is most beneficial for everyday people.

00:03:39.700 But what we're also starting to see is that, first of all, I think that when we talk about socialist, especially democratically socialist economies, first of all, they're done with the full input of everybody.

00:03:52.820 You vote.

00:03:53.640 It's democratic.

00:03:54.880 So if it's something that's not a good idea, it doesn't get voted for, ideally.

00:04:01.080 Um, Hitler was voted for.

00:04:06.120 Hitler won an election.

00:04:08.960 What are you talking about?

00:04:10.960 What are you talking about?

00:04:12.460 And I don't even understand your claim here that America was not founded as a capitalist society.

00:04:19.840 What are you talking about?

00:04:21.560 Wealth of nations.

00:04:24.800 What are you?

00:04:25.700 Now, see, you could say that she doesn't know anything about Israel.

00:04:29.640 She could not answer the question on Israel.

00:04:33.200 She got completely confused on it.

00:04:36.000 Now, you could say, well, she probably doesn't know anything until you find out she has her degree in foreign relations.

00:04:44.580 Then you could say, OK, well, she has her degree in foreign relations.

00:04:47.420 She doesn't really know how the economy works, that you don't count.

00:04:52.000 That's not how the unemployment number works.

00:04:55.340 Well, there's there's less people unemployed because they're working two jobs.

00:04:59.480 That's not the way that works.

00:05:02.320 Well, she doesn't know because she has her degree in foreign foreign affairs.

00:05:06.540 No, she also has another degree in economics.

00:05:11.220 Was she listening in these classes?

00:05:14.080 No, no.

00:05:14.600 Sorry.

00:05:15.000 I know the answer to that.

00:05:17.860 She was listening closely in those classes.

00:05:21.980 This is the garbage that they teach.

00:05:25.240 When, when will we have the courage to say, I'm sorry, I'm not sending my child to your university because it's completely corrupt.

00:05:37.400 For some reason, I get the impression she's never set foot in a socialist country.

00:05:46.460 The only thing that you have to say about Ocasio-Cortez is what she has to say.

00:05:59.060 Listen.

00:05:59.280 What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard.

00:06:06.580 At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought.

00:06:16.040 Oh.

00:06:16.280 Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.

00:06:21.660 I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul.

00:06:26.040 Sorry.

00:06:26.480 I thought that was, that was from Billy Madison.

00:06:27.980 I thought that was from the interview.

00:06:29.800 It's Friday, July 20th.

00:06:33.960 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:06:40.680 Saw this study yesterday.

00:06:44.020 Since 2009, a growing number of Americans have died from liver disease and liver cancer.

00:06:50.900 Increased number among 25, 34 year olds is especially troubling

00:06:55.040 because people are dying from excessive drinking.

00:07:01.360 So, in other words, what we are, what we're experiencing here is more and more Americans are drinking themselves to death.

00:07:07.140 And you know what?

00:07:08.800 Sometimes I'm thinking to myself, that's not a bad way to go.

00:07:11.780 That's not a bad way to go.

00:07:13.580 I mean, pour yourself a glass of Jack Daniels.

00:07:16.600 I saw the deal on Yellowstone a couple of days ago.

00:07:20.580 And Pat and I were talking about it.

00:07:22.740 And we're like, wow, I mean, that's two-thirds of the country that would be uninhabitable.

00:07:29.360 Two-thirds of the country you couldn't even live in if that thing blows.

00:07:34.760 And one of the first thoughts I had was, oh, come on.

00:07:39.200 Just do it.

00:07:41.640 Just bring it on.

00:07:42.640 Stop threatening us with the volcano.

00:07:46.160 Just do it.

00:07:48.160 Let me move.

00:07:48.920 You know, can I move to Nebraska so I can be closer?

00:07:51.600 Sir, just do it.

00:07:53.800 At least we wouldn't have to listen to Ocasio-Cortez anymore.

00:07:56.060 Oh, my gosh.

00:07:57.160 I can't.

00:07:57.900 I don't know how much.

00:08:00.560 I don't know.

00:08:01.180 By the way, did you hear what Elizabeth Warren said?

00:08:05.500 Elizabeth Warren, she doubled down.

00:08:10.340 She actually came out and said, no, no, no.

00:08:13.580 It's not people have two jobs.

00:08:15.780 It's a growing number of Americans have to have four jobs.

00:08:22.940 What?

00:08:23.600 She literally doubled it?

00:08:25.480 She doubled it.

00:08:27.000 Yeah.

00:08:28.180 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:08:29.320 Four jobs.

00:08:30.080 Yeah, you have to have four jobs now.

00:08:31.440 Okay.

00:08:31.980 Wow.

00:08:32.480 Okay.

00:08:33.180 So I don't.

00:08:34.480 Wow.

00:08:35.120 It's bad.

00:08:36.640 You ever met anybody with four jobs?

00:08:39.220 I never have.

00:08:40.640 I don't think I know a single person in my entire life that's ever worked four jobs.

00:08:47.620 I have three.

00:08:49.500 Maybe Ryan Seacrest.

00:08:50.760 Yeah.

00:08:51.220 Okay.

00:08:51.620 Ryan Seacrest has like 12.

00:08:54.120 Yeah.

00:08:54.620 He's taken every high paying job in the entertainment industry.

00:08:57.700 Right.

00:08:59.300 But come on.

00:09:01.440 I mean, it's not because Ryan Seacrest has to.

00:09:05.380 Right.

00:09:05.540 It's not like, oh, my gosh, I'm living in America.

00:09:08.100 I have to have 12 jobs just to pay for my airplane.

00:09:12.260 You know, they don't really have a problem with that.

00:09:16.080 I mean, I know this exists.

00:09:17.860 I know there are people that have, you know, have to have multiple jobs.

00:09:22.220 But come on.

00:09:22.280 That is the exception rather than the rule.

00:09:24.220 Yes, it is.

00:09:25.360 Yes, it is.

00:09:25.980 As are people working two jobs.

00:09:28.840 The same person with two jobs is an exception rather than the rule.

00:09:32.300 The rule is most of us have one job.

00:09:34.360 Correct.

00:09:34.720 We do one job.

00:09:36.560 And that's.

00:09:38.100 And quite honestly, I mean, if you've listened to this show or you've been out anywhere in

00:09:43.360 America and most of us do that one job pretty poorly.

00:09:47.200 Yeah.

00:09:48.100 We're not.

00:09:49.020 We're not.

00:09:49.180 We're not really.

00:09:50.280 You know, it's I'm I'm putting in, you know, 110 percent, you know, 65.

00:09:57.760 I'm giving you 65 percent.

00:10:00.640 You go to some places and you're like, could you give me could you give me 20 percent?

00:10:05.140 Could you just come into work today and just give me 20 percent?

00:10:10.040 Does that mean I have to sit down at my desk?

00:10:12.180 Well, you know, just for a little while, just for a little while.

00:10:15.660 Pretend you're doing something.

00:10:18.100 Open up the laptop.

00:10:20.540 Try not to play a game all day.

00:10:24.560 You know, just try that one.

00:10:26.960 Give me 20 percent.

00:10:28.900 Already given me 10.

00:10:30.020 You're here.

00:10:31.700 Let's go.

00:10:32.360 One more step.

00:10:33.300 It's a lot to ask.

00:10:35.960 Well, it's a lot to ask, especially if you're drinking yourself to death.

00:10:40.860 Increasingly, we are.

00:10:41.840 So we got that going for us, too.

00:10:44.880 And that way, I mean, seriously, Pat, you and I could spend another 20 years doing this,

00:10:51.900 talking about the problems, you know, trying to beat our head against the wall, looking

00:10:57.640 at them, or we could just go to a bar.

00:11:00.340 I mean, I'm having a hard time balancing this one.

00:11:06.600 It's just me.

00:11:07.800 So we've smashed a heat record from 1925.

00:11:13.720 Now, this is not like we've been experiencing a heat wave here in Texas, and it's global warming.

00:11:21.240 I don't know about you.

00:11:22.300 Oh, yeah.

00:11:22.680 But it's clearly global warming.

00:11:24.760 And it's hot as the fires of hell here, because it's 110, and it has humidity.

00:11:32.680 You know how they always say in Phoenix, yeah, well, it's 117, but there's no humidity, so

00:11:37.840 it only feels like 110.

00:11:40.880 Yeah, 110 is hot.

00:11:43.600 It's like I lived in Phoenix.

00:11:45.140 It's like standing in front of an open oven.

00:11:47.520 You don't want to live your life that way.

00:11:51.440 Here, you know, hey, you know, 110, but it has no humidity, so it feels like 95.

00:11:59.980 I don't even know if the heat index counts what it feels like at 110 with humidity.

00:12:08.280 Yeah, it's only 110, but it feels like 158.

00:12:12.400 It is so hot here, and I have a feeling that all these people from California who have enjoyed

00:12:21.000 their rolling blackouts, they're coming here, and they're like, oh, it's so hot, and I can

00:12:26.200 use my air conditioner, and we don't have rolling blackouts.

00:12:30.840 I mean, it's great.

00:12:31.560 There's a reason for that, too.

00:12:32.920 They're not going to like the reason, are they?

00:12:34.620 No, they're not.

00:12:35.100 No, they're not.

00:12:35.940 But for anyone new to Texas, we are on the free market system here, and let me explain

00:12:44.900 how the free market system works, because I know in California, when you live there with

00:12:48.940 the rolling blackouts, you had rolling blackouts because you weren't on the free market system.

00:12:55.220 Here, everything works because it is on the free market system, and here's what the free

00:13:03.480 market means.

00:13:05.820 When there is a bigger demand for a limited resource, the price goes up.

00:13:15.440 So kilowatt hours are not regulated here.

00:13:19.420 The price of kilowatt hours like they are in California, that's why you have brownouts and

00:13:24.920 blackouts, and why Texas doesn't, because I don't even know.

00:13:29.620 I think I gave them my car to keep my air conditioning yesterday.

00:13:34.360 I have a feeling that's about what it, I don't even want to open it, because this is the highest

00:13:40.760 kilowatt hours we've ever used.

00:13:44.620 It's priced by the usage.

00:13:48.520 I don't even know what the ceiling is.

00:13:51.340 I don't know that there is one.

00:13:53.120 I'm not sure.

00:13:54.200 I don't know if there is one.

00:13:55.020 I'm not sure, but boy, Texas may go through a deep depression.

00:14:01.280 We may all drink ourselves to death next month.

00:14:04.260 Yeah, when the bill comes in.

00:14:05.200 When the bill comes in, because I can't even imagine.

00:14:08.540 Yeah, it's going to be pricey.

00:14:10.860 It's already pretty high.

00:14:12.360 Yeah.

00:14:12.580 And then when it hits peak demand, it gets really high, staggeringly high.

00:14:17.340 Yeah.

00:14:18.180 So, you know, the good thing is there's, what, 16,000 square feet in this four-story room?

00:14:26.820 Yeah, well, you mean in the 70,000 square foot building?

00:14:29.760 Yeah.

00:14:30.260 Yeah.

00:14:30.860 And this room that we're sitting in is literally forced.

00:14:34.220 And we keep it at about 60 degrees?

00:14:36.160 Yeah.

00:14:38.120 So that's going to be a bargain, I'm thinking.

00:14:40.660 So I just want to tell the Daily Beast, I am selling my house just to pay for the air conditioning.

00:14:49.220 I can't even imagine.

00:14:50.840 I was in here yesterday, and last night we did this special at 8 o'clock, and one of the guys on set was sweating really badly.

00:15:00.380 And it was 65 degrees in the studio, but he was still sweating.

00:15:05.160 And I thought to myself, I know he was thinking, oh, you're going to turn down the air conditioning.

00:15:09.420 And I'm like, dude, give me the keys to your car, and I'll make it colder in here.

00:15:25.440 Temperature of the sidewalk yesterday was 136 degrees in Texas.

00:15:30.160 Do you see that they recommended you don't walk your dog?

00:15:35.980 Yeah.

00:15:36.440 For that reason.

00:15:37.360 Yeah.

00:15:37.660 It would burn their paws.

00:15:38.600 Literally burn their paws on the sidewalk.

00:15:40.600 My dogs, they go outside.

00:15:42.900 They love to go outside.

00:15:44.760 My dogs go outside, and they just, I open the door, and they look at me now like, good God, man.

00:15:49.540 No, I'm wearing a fur coat.

00:15:51.000 I'm not going out there.

00:18:05.680 I like it hot.

00:18:06.820 Especially at night.

00:18:08.000 What's wrong with you?

00:18:09.820 I can't even imagine what life was like without air conditioning.

00:18:13.900 Anybody who says, oh, you know, capitalism.

00:18:17.400 Air conditioning.

00:18:19.660 Air conditioning.

00:18:21.120 That was a capitalist move.

00:18:24.640 Air conditioning.

00:18:27.000 I can't live without it.

00:18:29.000 I would, I swear to you, I've said this before.

00:18:32.220 I don't think that our, I don't think our big military heroes in the Revolutionary War and the Civil War, etc.

00:18:39.040 I don't think that they were that brave.

00:18:42.180 They just didn't have aspirin.

00:18:44.480 So can you imagine a world without even aspirin?

00:18:48.680 How cranky you would be all the time.

00:18:51.880 You hit 30.

00:18:53.120 You get a first ache.

00:18:54.640 There's not even an aspirin.

00:18:56.140 You're like, just kill me now.

00:18:58.280 Can we go to war and just kill each other?

00:19:00.100 Just kill me.

00:19:01.100 Come up with an excuse.

00:19:02.580 I'll be really brave.

00:19:04.220 I just want to die.

00:19:06.140 Imagine, I can't imagine that.

00:19:10.760 Every time I think of, of socialists and people who say, you know, America sucks.

00:19:19.380 I think of anesthesia and air conditioning.

00:19:25.680 I think those are two, and indoor toilets.

00:19:28.440 Those are three things that is enough for me to say, yeah, there's social injustice.

00:19:35.700 But there's indoor plumbing, there's air conditioning, and there's painkillers.

00:19:41.780 So I'm pretty good.

00:19:43.760 We're ahead of the game.

00:19:44.740 We're ahead of the game.

00:19:45.300 Just with those three things.

00:19:46.360 Yeah, we really are.

00:19:47.900 We really are.

00:19:49.220 Think about what we're complaining.

00:19:51.020 We're not living in a cave.

00:19:53.300 You know, you're Osama bin Laden.

00:19:54.720 You really better believe in some kind of God because it's hot and stuffy in those caves, I'm guessing.

00:20:01.380 Back in a minute.

00:20:02.160 Okay.

00:20:06.920 Hello, and welcome to the program.

00:20:09.260 It's Friday, and Mr. Bill O'Reilly, who's on vacation in Ireland, called up about midweek and is like,

00:20:17.800 okay, I've had enough of this vacation.

00:20:19.220 Can I do the show on Friday?

00:20:20.700 Yeah.

00:20:21.060 So he's going to give us his view, and what a view it should be from over in the United Kingdom about what happened with Putin and with Donald Trump.

00:20:32.220 So that's coming up in about a half an hour.

00:20:33.820 Bill O'Reilly.

00:20:34.760 Let me go to James in New York.

00:20:36.180 Hello, James.

00:20:36.780 You're on the Glenn Beck program.

00:20:38.620 Hey, Mr. Beck, man.

00:20:39.760 It is an honor to speak with you.

00:20:41.460 I've been listening to you for years.

00:20:42.560 Thank you.

00:20:42.880 Oh, yeah.

00:20:44.280 No, no.

00:20:44.640 I was raised a homeschooler, and everything you say, I totally relate with everything.

00:20:48.600 You're an incredible human being.

00:20:50.340 Yeah, I saw your crypto show last night, and it was fabulous because with the way the market's been, it's worth not having an air conditioner.

00:20:59.860 Oh, my gosh.

00:21:00.800 Yeah.

00:21:01.180 You have no idea.

00:21:02.080 Yeah, me and my cousin decided that we wouldn't listen to anybody who has gray hair about cryptocurrencies just because they're usually pretty stubborn about the change.

00:21:08.820 Well, no, wait a minute.

00:21:09.380 Wait a minute.

00:21:09.720 Wait a minute.

00:21:10.040 I've got.

00:21:10.620 Well, mine's white.

00:21:11.640 Mine's white.

00:21:12.420 Yours is so white.

00:21:13.960 The ticket doesn't have hair, but it's okay.

00:21:17.520 No, I actually didn't listen to you because I told myself I wouldn't, and I sold a house and invested all of it.

00:21:25.140 Oh, wow.

00:21:26.080 Where did you buy it at?

00:21:27.440 What did you buy it at?

00:21:29.020 Well, I actually ended up buying Ethereum, and I traded it for other coins.

00:21:34.560 Can I give you some numbers or no?

00:21:36.120 Yeah, yeah.

00:21:36.580 Go ahead.

00:21:37.040 Go ahead.

00:21:37.740 Well, I put in 80 grand.

00:21:39.360 For a short period of time, it was worth over 200,000, and now it's worth about 36.

00:21:45.280 Oh, wow.

00:21:46.260 Yeah.

00:21:47.160 I know, right?

00:21:48.660 It's been a wild, white knuckle ride, but I still have a lot of confidence, and watching the show last night really boosted me, and I was like, oh, thank God.

00:21:55.300 It did me, too.

00:21:55.980 I tell you, I'm not, I'm not, you know, I'm not, I didn't put my house money into it, so I can't relate to you, but, you know, because I, your stress level is probably a little higher than mine, but, but I will tell you this.

00:22:11.340 I watched, I watched it with Tika, you know, obviously I was doing it, but I was listening to Tika last night, and I was, I was so confident on, on this.

00:22:23.020 I really, truly believe this is 1920, and Bitcoin is AT&T stock.

00:22:31.300 It's just, you know, it's, it's one of those things that if you buy it now, and you hold it now, it's going to be one of those things that.

00:22:38.920 It's going to be a wild ride sometimes.

00:22:40.560 It is.

00:22:41.260 Yeah.

00:22:41.700 It's going to be a white knuckler.

00:22:42.860 If you look at, he showed the charts last night, or I don't know if we even got to it, but there was charts of Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon, and if you saw those crashes that happened really early on in those companies, a lot of people sold.

00:22:58.940 Tika sold.

00:23:00.160 Tika sold Apple at maybe $200, or I can't remember what it was, but he sold it, and he was like, oh, this is a good move.

00:23:10.220 If I got a lot of money on this, I don't know how many millions he lost by taking it out.

00:23:16.000 It's technology is, this is not pets.com.

00:23:21.080 This is the internet.

00:23:23.460 So, so James, how, how, I know you want to believe, but how much do you believe his prediction last night?

00:23:31.640 Oh, man, I'm just crossing my fingers that something happens in the next couple months, but anything would be better than where it's at right now.

00:23:38.520 But if you're going to buy, now is absolutely the time to do it, because it's so low, and it's about to go crazy, so I'm excited about it.

00:23:45.280 Good.

00:23:45.400 I have a couple of small coins that I've invested in, but it's rough.

00:23:49.800 It's scary.

00:23:51.220 Keep faith, brother.

00:23:52.260 Keep faith.

00:23:52.780 Thank you so much.

00:23:53.520 Sometimes the people with the gray hair know some things, like don't invest money that you can't afford to lose, and then it's not quite as wild a ride.

00:24:02.840 You know, yeah, well, you know, I, the reason why I didn't get into, you know, and Antica didn't make this better for me, because Mark Andreessen, if you know who Mark Andreessen is, I mean, Facebook, Twitter, you know, early, you know, Bitcoin started, I think, Coinbase.

00:24:22.840 Coinbase, and I'm sitting in his office, this was six years ago, and he's like, Glenn, you've got to get into cryptocurrency.

00:24:28.600 And all I hear is Warren Buffett saying, don't buy things that you don't understand.

00:24:33.700 And I'm like, I don't really understand, you know, cryptocurrency.

00:24:36.960 And he explained it, and I was kind of like, I still don't really understand it.

00:24:40.660 Uh, and again, Warren Buffett, don't buy things you don't understand.

00:24:46.700 You know, I've kind of, I understand that.

00:24:50.040 I do, and I get that.

00:24:51.720 Um, but I also, that would keep me off an airplane, you know, because don't buy things like a ticket to fly, because you can explain to me how the wind, it goes over the curved part of the wing slower than it does on the bottom.

00:25:10.500 Of the flat part of the wing, and that's what provides a 747 lift, so we can, I understand, I don't understand that.

00:25:20.580 I, I can, I can connect the dots, but I'd never get onto an airplane if I had to, oh yeah, no, I, I understand that.

00:25:28.660 Yeah, sure, I got it.

00:25:29.780 I don't understand that.

00:25:32.260 And I should have, I, I, I should have bought earlier, but his point last night was, um, and he, he has some,

00:25:40.500 real credibility with me, because I've been watching him for a while, and, uh, and he said, three months ago, he came in and he said,

00:25:49.000 hey Glenn, I want you to do a deal with me, um, and, uh, and, because around the middle of July, uh, cryptocurrencies are going to turn.

00:25:59.260 And I said, oh, really?

00:26:03.120 Because I'm freaking out.

00:26:05.200 And he said, uh, no, they're going to turn around in July and I want to do a deal then, blah, blah, blah.

00:26:10.620 Well, he said it would turn around the, um, middle or end of July.

00:26:17.040 This week, middle of July, it's already up 15%.

00:26:20.720 Uh, and he has a reason for it.

00:26:24.660 And if you missed the show, I guess you can probably still watch it at BeckCryptoShow.com.

00:26:29.540 I don't even know, but I think you could probably still watch it there.

00:26:31.780 Um, but he had a really good reason for, uh, for his prediction, which is $40,000.

00:26:41.500 Bitcoin at $40,000 by the end of the year, this year.

00:26:48.260 Uh, that makes, that makes it a pretty good investment at what, 7,400?

00:26:52.420 Is that where it is right now?

00:26:53.600 Yeah.

00:26:53.940 Right around there somewhere?

00:26:54.940 Yeah.

00:26:55.320 And you don't have to buy one.

00:26:56.560 You don't have to, I mean, you can put $200 in it.

00:26:58.320 Sure.

00:26:59.700 But if you could buy one, right.

00:27:01.860 You know, it's a lot.

00:27:02.440 I tried, I literally tried to talk about, I said, this is suicide.

00:27:05.520 Tika, what are you doing?

00:27:06.900 Don't know what, I mean, you could say $40,000, but you're putting a time limit on it.

00:27:11.800 You're saying it's going to be done by the, by the end of the year.

00:27:14.560 And he's like, yep.

00:27:15.560 And I'm like, have you thought about tapping that down?

00:27:18.340 You know, if you think it's gonna do 40, say 20, you look like a superhero.

00:27:23.200 And he's like, I have tapped it down.

00:27:25.360 I said, what?

00:27:26.080 And he said, I honestly think it's going to hit 65, but I'm tapping it down.

00:27:32.000 Wow.

00:27:32.600 I feel very comfortable saying 40.

00:27:35.540 And I'm like, oh my gosh.

00:27:37.920 That's amazing.

00:27:38.820 It's amazing.

00:27:40.320 It's amazing.

00:27:42.440 How awesome would that be?

00:27:45.940 If, of course, you've invested by now.

00:27:47.980 Which, which you, I, which I haven't done yet.

00:28:01.240 Today's the day though.

00:28:02.400 Today's the day.

00:28:03.060 It is the day.

00:28:03.940 Yeah.

00:28:04.320 Are you seriously?

00:28:05.300 Yeah.

00:28:05.600 You really are?

00:28:06.380 Uh-huh.

00:28:07.160 Yes.

00:28:08.100 So.

00:28:08.520 I'm checking Monday.

00:28:09.380 If that means.

00:28:10.020 I'm checking Monday.

00:28:10.740 If that means everybody else is getting out, this is the time to do it.

00:28:13.500 Because today's the day I'm getting into this.

00:28:15.900 Because I've always said, as soon as I get in, it's going to tank.

00:28:19.320 Wait, no.

00:28:20.240 It's already tanked 40%.

00:28:22.160 But, you know, he showed me the charts.

00:28:23.780 And this is, this was a really heart, heart.

00:28:26.260 This is a really heartwarming place to be if you've invested in Bitcoin.

00:28:30.500 Okay.

00:28:30.860 So he showed me the charts.

00:28:31.840 It has had five crashes of 30% just this year.

00:28:36.960 Okay.

00:28:37.820 Wow.

00:28:38.260 Five crashes of 30% this year.

00:28:41.780 Crashes are a part of all technology at this point.

00:28:45.820 All right.

00:28:46.620 At this stage of the game.

00:28:48.740 You have to think 1920 AT&T or 1990 Microsoft.

00:28:56.900 And so they've had five crashes.

00:28:59.140 If you would have invested in any of the crashes, I think, in the last two years.

00:29:05.740 If you would have bought at the peak.

00:29:09.120 Now, not counting this one.

00:29:11.120 Because there's no big crash after this one yet.

00:29:13.960 Okay.

00:29:14.740 So if you go from peak to peak.

00:29:18.480 And you buy at the peak over the last, what, three years.

00:29:22.920 And so, you know, you buy at the peak right before the enormous crash.

00:29:28.180 And then it goes up again.

00:29:30.700 And you buy at the peak.

00:29:32.680 Enormous crash.

00:29:34.220 If you buy at the peak each time, you make money because the next peak is higher than the one that you bought it at.

00:29:45.780 And the next crash is higher than the last peak.

00:29:54.380 So, in other words.

00:29:57.780 Wow.

00:29:58.320 So, in other words, if it goes up to 60,000.

00:30:01.400 If it continues on this model that it has been on for the last few years.

00:30:06.800 If you bought it at 19, and you're sitting here going, oh, it's a crash.

00:30:14.040 Hold on.

00:30:15.540 Because that's going to come down.

00:30:17.580 It will go 40, 50, 60.

00:30:20.460 And then it should crash.

00:30:22.640 After it hits its high, then it should crash 25.

00:30:26.900 So, you're still higher than you were.

00:30:30.020 And that's, it just keeps going up like that.

00:30:34.520 I hope.

00:30:36.880 Yeah.

00:30:37.260 Well, that's obviously the theory.

00:30:39.160 And it's worked so far.

00:30:40.640 He also, the reason why he thinks this is he showed what everybody was saying.

00:30:46.000 And remember when Jamie Dimon came out and said, I will fire anybody.

00:30:48.920 I will fire anybody in this company that buys Bitcoin because cryptocurrencies are going to zero.

00:30:57.540 Yeah.

00:30:57.720 Then it went down 24% and they started buying.

00:31:01.060 And then JPMorgan Chase started buying it for their clients.

00:31:04.380 Yeah.

00:31:04.560 They started buying.

00:31:05.460 They started buying.

00:31:07.020 He just said, it's going to zero.

00:31:10.260 And I'll fire anybody who buys it at JPMorgan Chase or sells it at JPMorgan Chase.

00:31:16.200 That weekend, they opened up a desk to start buying cryptocurrencies.

00:31:23.840 And his point was, this is how the rich get richer.

00:31:28.940 They are transferring the wealth.

00:31:32.020 They're telling everybody who's in it, don't buy it, don't buy it.

00:31:35.580 And he showed it happening in 1992, 1989, or 1998, just after 2000.

00:31:45.120 And now this.

00:31:46.700 They always do this.

00:31:48.340 All of these big people come in and the market crashes and they say, don't.

00:31:53.140 It's not even worth what it's at now.

00:31:55.640 But then they're buying it at that point while they're still trying to scare everybody else off.

00:32:01.860 Then they turn and open a floodgates and they start buying it in massive bulk because they can buy it at the bottom of the market.

00:32:11.640 And he said, we're now at the point.

00:32:14.180 He said, this bottom, everybody has gotten into.

00:32:18.960 Now, JPMorgan Chase, BlackRock, all of them, Goldman Sachs, have now opened their Bitcoin trading desk.

00:32:27.540 So now they're all starting to invest in it this summer.

00:32:32.600 And he said, so once that money starts to come in, then it just skyrockets and it provides a much higher market cap.

00:32:41.520 It just goes through the roof.

00:32:44.580 To me, it made sense.

00:32:46.260 To me, it made sense.

00:32:47.560 All right.

00:32:48.000 Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

00:32:50.040 It is LifeLock.

00:32:51.580 LifeLock.com.

00:32:52.640 Cybersecurity is so difficult now.

00:32:57.440 Everything is under attack.

00:32:59.880 Your phone.

00:33:00.480 I can't tell you how vulnerable you and your family are.

00:33:09.740 My family and I experienced something this summer that is not going to be one of those things we look back and laugh on.

00:33:24.320 We had, you know, investigators in our house.

00:33:32.960 And we were attacked.

00:33:39.240 And I haven't talked about it yet.

00:33:41.160 And I will maybe this fall.

00:33:44.200 But it is truly frightening how vulnerable you are.

00:33:49.480 I mean, I have Cisco systems.

00:33:52.440 I have firewalls.

00:33:53.660 I have the money to protect myself.

00:33:57.800 You have no idea how vulnerable we all are.

00:34:01.640 It is truly remarkable.

00:34:06.060 Do not give your children a phone.

00:34:08.880 I'll just leave it at that.

00:34:10.120 Do not give your children a phone.

00:34:14.640 If it's a smartphone, get rid of it and give them a flip phone.

00:34:19.900 But in my opinion, that's not even good enough.

00:34:24.140 Anyway, there are so many threats in today's world.

00:34:28.080 And we're all connected.

00:34:29.860 And it takes one weak link.

00:34:32.460 And they're inside.

00:34:34.260 The new LifeLock Identity Theft Protection adds the power of Norton Security to help protect you against the threats to your identity and your devices that you can't easily see or fix on your own.

00:34:44.280 And if you have a problem, their agents are going to work to fix it.

00:34:47.200 Now, nobody can stop all cyber threats or prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses.

00:34:52.300 But LifeLock with Norton Security is able to uncover the threats that you might otherwise miss.

00:34:57.780 So go to LifeLock.com or call 1-800-LIFELOCK.

00:35:10.440 Glenn Beck.

00:35:11.900 Quickly in Indiana.

00:35:13.000 Let's go to Nathan.

00:35:14.060 Nathan, we only have about a minute.

00:35:15.240 Go ahead.

00:35:16.580 Hi, Glenn.

00:35:17.740 I just wanted to say thanks for hosting the crypto show.

00:35:21.160 I've watched you for six, eight years now.

00:35:24.580 But I am only 20 years old.

00:35:27.500 And so, you know, I was really excited when I saw you bring out the history of the technology stock market and saw that the crypto one was mimicking this.

00:35:38.140 And I saw that, you know, being a millennial, I could put in a couple hundred dollars in different stocks and be able to make some good profits at my age.

00:35:46.760 But my question was that being only 20 and being in college and not having big disposable income.

00:35:54.320 I want to follow what you and Tika said because I trust you guys have looked into him, done my research like you tell us to do.

00:36:01.240 But I don't have, you know, $2,500 on hand right now to be able to pay for that.

00:36:05.920 No, I tell you, that's why that's why Tika gave a couple of things yesterday.

00:36:09.260 That's why he gave the Bitcoin.

00:36:11.380 You know, even if you just put $200 in Bitcoin, Ethereum and Dash are the other two that he recommended.

00:36:18.040 And again, the whole idea, Nathan, is to not pour a lot of money into this.

00:36:23.380 These things are so unbelievably volatile that it could that it could really fall apart.

00:36:32.100 By the way, it wasn't Ethereum.

00:36:33.340 It was Litecoin and Dash.

00:36:35.620 Litecoin, Dash and Bitcoin.

00:36:39.920 Thanks, Nathan.

00:36:44.160 Glenn Beck.

00:36:45.440 And I have to tell you, it's been a hard week.

00:36:46.800 Really has.

00:36:47.340 It's been a hard week to look at America and, you know, the press and everything else and just go, what the hell?

00:36:53.620 What is going on in America?

00:36:55.400 Can I give you some good news?

00:36:57.400 This is a country that when the Soviets challenged us in space, we doubled down and we landed on the moon within a decade.

00:37:05.820 Nobody thought it could be done.

00:37:09.140 Yesterday's moonshot is today's oil rush.

00:37:13.140 And the great thing is, is Americans are rising to the challenge.

00:37:15.920 The same way we did back in the 1960s.

00:37:18.860 OPEC tried to kill us.

00:37:21.200 This is really so underreported.

00:37:23.980 OPEC and the Russians and the Saudis, they ramped up oil production back in 2014 to drive the frackers out of business.

00:37:33.920 Sorry.

00:37:36.060 Fracking is really effective, but it is also really expensive.

00:37:42.560 At first, the plan was working until 2016.

00:37:46.940 And then something happened in 2016.

00:37:49.340 Oil rigs began coming back online.

00:37:52.160 Oil production shot back up.

00:37:55.120 OPEC was baffled.

00:37:56.360 How are the Americans doing this?

00:37:58.340 What is happening here?

00:38:00.460 Answer?

00:38:01.580 American ingenuity.

00:38:03.220 We had invented technological breakthroughs that made fracking cheaper and more efficient.

00:38:10.280 So now here's the results.

00:38:12.560 Here's where we stand today.

00:38:14.620 Remember, we're running out of oil and we're never going to, you know, it's peak oil and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:38:20.340 As of last month, U.S. oil production hit a record high.

00:38:25.540 We are now pumping out 10.7 million barrels a day.

00:38:31.040 We just leapfrogged the Saudis who are putting out 10.4 million barrels a day.

00:38:38.960 Russia is now number one at 11.1, but we're hot on their heels.

00:38:44.060 U.S. production is set to be 12 million by next year.

00:38:48.480 We will be the number one oil producer in the world by 2019.

00:38:56.120 The days of being held hostage, the days of having to go to war for oil, they're over.

00:39:03.360 And that's not even, that's mainly because of Texas.

00:39:07.260 The state of Texas alone is projected to put out 5.6 million barrels a day in the next 12 months.

00:39:14.880 That's more than Iraq and Iran.

00:39:18.480 In fact, if Texas were its own country, which I think it kind of is, it would be the number one, sorry, be the number three oil producer in the world.

00:39:29.400 Texas.

00:39:30.360 We haven't even touched Alaska.

00:39:33.240 California.

00:39:33.880 So when people question American exceptionalism, look what we're doing and we're not destroying the environment.

00:39:44.360 We're not poisoning the fishes and the land.

00:39:48.400 We've figured out a better, easier way to do it.

00:39:51.980 Politicians from our own country are rising with the socialist left.

00:39:58.480 They're, they're claiming now that we'd be better off with a different system.

00:40:02.940 Tell me, tell me what, what if anything has ever been accomplished under socialism or communism?

00:40:14.500 Did the Soviet Union go to the moon?

00:40:16.300 What is it that Venezuela has invented?

00:40:22.280 China's a pretty big socialist communist country.

00:40:26.120 Why aren't they knocking on the door of the world's largest oil producer?

00:40:30.080 Why didn't they invent the smartphone or create the internet?

00:40:34.160 Because there's something different about the Chinese.

00:40:36.360 If there's any credibility to what these new American democratic socialists are saying, countries like China, Venezuela, Norway, even France, the UK should have accomplished way more than we have.

00:40:54.060 But none of them have even come close.

00:40:56.040 In fact, all those socialist countries are now sending us their sickest patients, even though our health care is a sick patient.

00:41:03.740 It's all due to freedom.

00:41:05.140 It's due to the free market.

00:41:08.500 Square your shoulders, America.

00:41:09.980 Take a bow.

00:41:11.600 You're continuing to change the world and make it a better, safer, more efficient place, even under hostile conditions.

00:41:20.860 Just one innovation at a time.

00:41:26.420 It's Friday, July 20th.

00:41:28.600 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:41:30.500 Welcome to the program.

00:41:35.560 Bill O'Reilly is on vacation in Ireland.

00:41:38.960 And as he said last week, I'm going to be on vacation.

00:41:41.460 I'm going to be in Ireland.

00:41:42.080 I'm going to be doing a lot of stuff.

00:41:42.980 So I'm not going to be able to have a chance to be on the show.

00:41:45.380 But there's really only so much drinking you can do.

00:41:48.540 And so Bill is with us now.

00:41:50.500 Hello, Bill.

00:41:51.000 You know I don't drink, Beck.

00:41:54.080 Well, but you're in Ireland, so then why did you go?

00:41:57.220 Because we found an incredible thing.

00:42:01.200 The actual farm where my ancestors were evicted in 1845.

00:42:08.000 Wow.

00:42:08.240 Which led them to come to America.

00:42:12.380 And very emotional and took years to track it.

00:42:17.780 And it's in County Cabin.

00:42:19.500 And that's where I was yesterday.

00:42:21.080 So that's pretty, you know, it's amazing that, I mean, your family's been unpopular since 1845.

00:42:28.660 You know, and what's even more amazing is the white privilege attached to being evicted from your land by the British for not being able to pay your taxes.

00:42:39.640 Yeah.

00:42:39.860 Putting two 16-year-old twin boys on a boat in Galway to sail to Brooklyn by themselves.

00:42:46.800 Never saw their mother again, father dead.

00:42:49.580 All that white privilege attached to that is just amazing.

00:42:52.500 Yeah, it really is.

00:42:53.500 It really is.

00:42:54.120 Tap it down just a bit there, Bill.

00:42:56.140 Thank you.

00:42:57.020 We're glad to have you.

00:42:58.040 It's been a really interesting week.

00:43:00.900 I would love to hear Bill O'Reilly's perspective, you know, just starting on Monday.

00:43:07.100 Were you in Ireland then?

00:43:10.380 Yes, I was in Ireland.

00:43:11.860 It's a good place to be because you can see it from another perspective.

00:43:16.980 The Irish people couldn't care less, by the way.

00:43:19.480 And I think that's generally around the world.

00:43:21.960 They don't care about the story.

00:43:23.500 There's actually two stories here.

00:43:25.480 And the media, of course, never going to report either of them accurately.

00:43:30.100 The first story is that the president of the United States really doesn't know what he thinks about Russia and Putin.

00:43:39.120 He doesn't know.

00:43:41.800 That's a problem.

00:43:43.160 That is a problem.

00:43:44.640 Yeah.

00:43:45.040 It's not the way you would be.

00:43:47.400 It's a problem for him.

00:43:48.660 It's a problem for the country.

00:43:49.980 It's a problem for everybody.

00:43:51.100 Right.

00:43:51.500 Right.

00:43:51.720 So he doesn't know, and he changes his perspective from hour to hour.

00:43:58.860 Yeah.

00:43:59.400 So that's story number one, why he doesn't know.

00:44:03.740 And, of course, I know why he doesn't know.

00:44:05.700 Why doesn't he know?

00:44:06.500 And the story number two is the unprecedented hatred of the media who really couldn't care less about Russia.

00:44:16.460 Right.

00:44:16.700 You know, they don't care about it, and they're using it as they use the border and the children.

00:44:24.680 It's the same pattern of behavior.

00:44:26.120 That's story number two.

00:44:27.500 So where do you want to start?

00:44:28.420 I want to go back to story number one.

00:44:30.060 Why doesn't the president know?

00:44:32.640 Number one, he is not steeped in the history of American-Russia relations.

00:44:39.380 So he doesn't really know the dynamic that was in play from World War II onward.

00:44:46.500 Okay, that kind of happened in his lifetime.

00:44:50.460 He did, but he's a businessman.

00:44:53.280 He's not a historian.

00:44:54.800 Well, you don't have to be.

00:44:56.200 Hang on, hang on, hang on.

00:44:57.160 You don't actually have to be a historian to know Boris and Natasha bad.

00:45:03.420 Do you?

00:45:04.400 Okay, but it's more than that.

00:45:06.580 He doesn't understand Vladimir Putin, who he is, and what he wants.

00:45:13.060 He can be told that, but he doesn't feel it, as the kids would say.

00:45:18.380 All right.

00:45:19.060 Number two, his emotional makeup is tied in with the Russian accusation that they threw the election to him.

00:45:31.080 100% true.

00:45:31.940 It makes him insane.

00:45:33.400 Yep, 100% right.

00:45:34.480 It drives him.

00:45:37.040 It drives him.

00:45:38.460 This is all, all this week has only been because he cannot separate the results of the election from anything said about Russia.

00:45:50.620 He just can't do it.

00:45:52.020 He thinks they're saying, he thinks that.

00:45:55.020 I'm glad you're reading my columns on BillOReilly.com, because that's absolutely correct.

00:45:59.420 Yeah, well, your column came out.

00:46:00.560 I nailed that on Monday.

00:46:01.360 He cannot separate what is happening in real time, as they say, from the accusation that he really didn't win the election Putin wanted for him.

00:46:13.540 So, therefore, he's going to diminish any kind of threat from Russia, all right?

00:46:19.880 And he's going to say, I am going to make relations better between Russia and the United States.

00:46:28.280 That's what's best for the country, which is true.

00:46:30.220 But at the same time, you have to go out and state, it's so simple.

00:46:36.040 When you're the president of the United States, you have to say the truth.

00:46:40.860 You can't get away with saying, well, I don't know if the Russians hacked in.

00:46:47.560 They did.

00:46:48.780 You've got to say it.

00:46:50.180 And when Putin says they didn't, all you say is, we have a difference of opinion on that.

00:46:57.700 Period.

00:46:58.500 You don't go in and insult Putin.

00:47:01.020 You don't give him the three stooges under the chin and on top of the head.

00:47:05.240 You don't do that, because you get nowhere.

00:47:07.820 But you can say to the world, we have a difference of opinion.

00:47:12.360 And be strong.

00:47:13.760 He chose, President Trump chose not to do that on Monday in Helsinki.

00:47:18.060 And that is what has led to all of the chaos.

00:47:22.040 So, Bill, what do you think of the theory that Donald Trump, and I want to be really careful here,

00:47:31.000 because I'm not saying he has the killer instinct that Putin has.

00:47:36.220 But Donald Trump has a lot in common with Vladimir Putin, as they're both businessmen in some way, in some regard.

00:47:43.980 They both just get it done.

00:47:45.960 They don't like red tape.

00:47:47.440 One kills to get things done.

00:47:50.060 But Donald Trump is a guy who, you know, he's never killed.

00:47:54.340 And I'm not saying it's mob or anything else.

00:47:56.220 But he gets things done in New York that no one else can do.

00:48:00.000 So he's kind of got that cowboy attitude.

00:48:04.680 And so he kind of relates to Putin.

00:48:08.900 And I think Putin relates to Putin is smart enough to play into that with Donald Trump.

00:48:15.380 Look, dude, I've been around for a long time and I see what's happening.

00:48:18.680 You can't trust the press.

00:48:19.640 And he's he'll play into that.

00:48:22.240 And it would it just made me believe that there there is when he is when he is confused or not able to separate from the election,

00:48:35.320 when he sees that the same people that are investigating this can find who hacked the DNC server, but can't even check the emails and have had them in their possession for a year.

00:48:49.420 They can't seem to do anything that is at all connected with the DNC.

00:48:53.840 But, man, they can nail the DNC server guys pretty efficiently and quickly.

00:49:00.280 And they can sure say that there was collusion without any evidence.

00:49:04.540 But there's nothing on all of the others.

00:49:07.300 I think I think if Putin sat down with Trump and he just said, you know, let me ask you this.

00:49:14.740 Look, Donald, we didn't do this.

00:49:17.040 And I, you know, look, I can relate to you.

00:49:19.120 Look, I'm trashed by the press and people have my enemies and we're different, but we're not all that different.

00:49:26.260 And, you know, your real problem here is this Pakistani that was was in Washington, D.C., that that had the DNC servers.

00:49:35.460 There's something going on there.

00:49:37.580 Wouldn't Trump be more likely to say, damn it?

00:49:41.440 Yes.

00:49:42.360 Yes, I know there is something there.

00:49:44.800 And I can't get it from my intelligence service.

00:49:48.040 OK, but but that doesn't do Trump any good.

00:49:51.380 The word that you're looking for to describe both Putin and Trump is ruthless.

00:49:57.180 OK, and I'm not saying that President Trump is ruthless in the same way as Putin.

00:50:04.500 Yes.

00:50:04.940 But in order to do what Trump has accomplished, you got to take no prisoners certain times.

00:50:11.180 Yeah, he was he was ruthless during the campaign.

00:50:14.240 Ruthless.

00:50:14.660 Yeah, you saw it.

00:50:15.800 You saw it.

00:50:16.820 OK, so they do have that in common.

00:50:19.700 And they also don't want red tape.

00:50:22.020 They don't want people telling them they're wrong.

00:50:23.960 Yeah.

00:50:24.240 They don't want challenges.

00:50:25.860 A lot of a lot of commonality here.

00:50:27.820 But what President Trump has to realize is that he's in a death march with the press.

00:50:36.240 And here's the third story that has not been broken yet, but I'll break it on the Glenn Beck radio program.

00:50:43.440 Live from Ireland.

00:50:45.200 President Trump is going to run again, but he's not going to really run against a Democrat.

00:50:49.840 He's going to run against the press.

00:50:52.100 That's not news.

00:50:52.860 And the decision for the American people is, do we want to vote against Trump and empower a corrupt press that has tried everything to remove him from office?

00:51:04.840 Or do we not like Trump so much his style?

00:51:09.140 And we understand that he's not in full grasp of some issues, but we're not.

00:51:14.960 We're going to vote for him because we hate the press more.

00:51:18.660 Trump is going to run against the American media in 2020.

00:51:21.800 2020, that's the third story to emerge this week.

00:51:25.200 All right.

00:51:25.680 Stand by Bill O'Reilly from Ireland.

00:51:27.940 I'm just going to put him on hold for a while because I want him to pay for the long distance charges because he's so rich, he won't even notice it.

00:51:34.200 He really won't.

00:52:44.120 He's on vacation.

00:52:45.200 He's calling us from Ireland.

00:52:46.980 And we so appreciate the fact that he has taken this valuable time away that he could be using to see Mamma Mia 2.

00:52:57.360 And he is with us.

00:52:59.780 Hello, Bill.

00:53:00.780 Yeah.

00:53:01.100 All right.

00:53:01.620 So, Bill.

00:53:03.320 Yeah.

00:53:03.940 Let me go here.

00:53:06.420 This is Andrea Mitchell yesterday with our Intelligence Director, Coats.

00:53:14.820 Here's the audio of what happened if she was passed a note on stage.

00:53:20.280 We have some breaking news.

00:53:21.680 The White House has announced on Twitter that Vladimir Putin is coming to the White House in the fall.

00:53:28.360 Say that again?

00:53:29.260 Vladimir Putin is coming to the White House.

00:53:36.740 Did I hear you?

00:53:37.100 Yeah.

00:53:37.920 Yeah.

00:53:39.540 Okay.

00:53:40.380 Yeah.

00:53:45.020 That's going to be special.

00:53:47.140 What do you think about the invitation for Vladimir Putin to come to the White House?

00:53:51.380 Well, first of all, Coats is, you know, one of the group that advises Trump on foreign policy and national security.

00:54:01.780 Right.

00:54:01.900 So, he should have been given a heads up that this was in play.

00:54:05.660 And he played it for laughs, which the president did not appreciate, by the way.

00:54:11.420 So, I don't know about Coats' future.

00:54:14.260 Although he likes Coats, I don't think that did him any good, Coats.

00:54:18.520 If Putin comes to Washington, I don't care.

00:54:24.900 I don't think anybody cares.

00:54:26.840 I do expect them to do some reduction of nuclear arsenal stuff.

00:54:31.740 Does it matter?

00:54:32.720 No.

00:54:33.660 Both countries are going to keep enough nukes to blow the world up 50 times over.

00:54:38.580 So, that's just symbolic.

00:54:40.380 Maybe they'll work out some trade deals.

00:54:42.760 Maybe somebody will do something in the Middle East that's good for the world.

00:54:47.800 There's no downside.

00:54:49.560 But is it a major thing?

00:54:51.320 No, it's not.

00:54:52.880 So, Bill, you just said the president doesn't know about these things.

00:54:56.440 And what's given me confidence is, at the very beginning, he had real bad people around him.

00:55:01.780 But the bad people have really pretty much left.

00:55:03.920 And he has really good advisors around him.

00:55:06.280 Now you can say he has some of the best people around him.

00:55:10.520 But he doesn't seem to listen to them.

00:55:12.440 Or, you know, as you said, Coats should have known that.

00:55:16.220 But the president's just going off on his own.

00:55:19.680 And, I mean, a president can do that.

00:55:21.460 Yeah, because he doesn't feel that he has an obligation, you know, if somebody's in Aspen, Colorado, to track the person down and tell him that.

00:55:30.120 So, is it a big thing?

00:55:32.660 No.

00:55:33.440 But it always works against Trump.

00:55:36.060 The word is methodical.

00:55:37.840 You know, Obama was methodical.

00:55:40.660 And Trump is the sole opposite of that.

00:55:43.460 He just operates on, all right, we're going to do this.

00:55:46.980 Or we're going to do that.

00:55:48.240 And it's, I don't know, there's got to be more discipline imposed on the Oval Office, but there isn't anybody who can really do that.

00:55:59.640 So that's the flaw in the Trump administration, the lack of discipline, the lack of messaging.

00:56:05.740 And it all leads to this nonstop hatred directed at him, at Trump, which I believe Americans have had quite enough of.

00:56:17.620 You know, when I saw that Whoopi Goldberg, Janine Pirro thing yesterday, I know both of those women really well.

00:56:24.460 And I've, you know, for years have had a pretty constructive dialogue with Whoopi Goldberg.

00:56:30.000 And Janine, I know from working at Fox.

00:56:32.020 Okay, so I want to take this, hang on, I want to take this when we come back.

00:56:34.980 I'm going to play that audio because it's amazing, and then get your comments on it.

00:56:38.660 Next.

00:56:43.960 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:56:46.020 So Janine Pirro, how do you say her last name?

00:56:49.820 Pirro.

00:56:50.300 Pirro.

00:56:50.740 Janine Pirro was on The View yesterday.

00:56:53.720 She has a new book out.

00:56:56.420 And Whoopi Goldberg kind of lost her cool.

00:56:59.840 You know, Janine said, you know, you have Trump derangement syndrome, and here's what happened.

00:57:07.380 How long has the deep state been there, and who's running it?

00:57:10.440 Well, I want to answer your question, because you gave me a question.

00:57:13.640 I didn't actually ask you a question.

00:57:14.580 You gave me your opening statement, which is how horrible it is, that Donald Trump is talking about all of these people.

00:57:21.440 That's what you said, you said, you know what's horrible, when people who shouldn't be here end up murdering the children of American citizens.

00:57:29.100 You know what's horrible, when the president of the United States whips up people to beat the hell out of people.

00:57:35.400 Say goodbye.

00:57:37.300 That went on for a while, and I don't think you need to know about much more of that.

00:57:44.820 But then, after the commercial break, Whoopi came back and said this.

00:57:48.680 The film is out now.

00:57:50.540 We will be right back.

00:57:52.020 So, welcome back.

00:57:53.620 So, you saw me do something I very rarely do.

00:57:56.580 I very rarely lose my cool, and I'm not proud of it.

00:58:00.160 I don't like it.

00:58:01.240 But I also don't like being accused of being hysterical, because that's one of the things I try not to be on this show.

00:58:06.720 Yeah, okay, so, she only became hysterical because she doesn't like being called hysterical.

00:58:19.420 You know, the other time she became hysterical is when she walked out on me.

00:58:25.040 That's right.

00:58:25.760 Remember that?

00:58:26.420 Yeah, that's right.

00:58:27.480 That's right.

00:58:28.080 When I was on the program, they both left the stage, and Barbara Walters had to take over.

00:58:31.860 And I was so happy, I said, this is great, you know.

00:58:35.100 I mean, if we could get them permanently off, then.

00:58:38.880 But the real problem here was after the show, when she confronted Janine Pirro, who was trying to leave the ABC building in Manhattan, and said, get the F out of the building.

00:58:54.920 That's unacceptable.

00:58:56.980 You know.

00:58:57.300 She didn't just say that.

00:58:58.780 She didn't just say that.

00:58:59.680 But she also, she spit on Janine.

00:59:03.560 Well, I don't know about that.

00:59:05.040 I wasn't there.

00:59:06.480 I mean, she was probably.

00:59:07.320 Those are the reports today.

00:59:08.680 Yes, but we have to be, you know, very methodical.

00:59:12.640 I know she said, get the F out of the building.

00:59:14.800 Yes.

00:59:15.180 I know that to be true.

00:59:16.240 Yes.

00:59:16.660 I don't know about any spittle.

00:59:18.700 Mm-hmm.

00:59:20.360 ABC has an obligation to stop this.

00:59:24.640 And I'll tell you why.

00:59:26.320 Because somebody's going to get killed.

00:59:27.880 And the media chieftains have got to know that critical mass has been reached, and someone is going to get hurt.

00:59:39.480 Could have happened yesterday when Maxine Waters' crew, and I have dealt with those people before,

00:59:45.240 showed up looking for a physical confrontation with some people who don't like Maxine Waters.

00:59:51.980 The people didn't show up, so instead Maxine Waters' crew hauled an American flag off a truck and burned it.

01:00:00.220 The next step is physical violence and someone getting killed.

01:00:04.980 The media chieftains, the people who run ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, and Fox, have got to say, no more hate.

01:00:15.240 If you're going to hate, don't show up for work.

01:00:17.460 I would suspend Whoopi Goldberg for a week, for which he did.

01:00:21.700 Because it is unprofessional.

01:00:23.860 It is un-American.

01:00:25.260 I don't care whether you disagree with Janine Pirro, and whatever you say, you say.

01:00:30.420 But don't threaten the woman after the show is over.

01:00:33.880 That is not physical behavior.

01:00:36.400 Quite honestly, Bill, I mean, I don't know who watches this stuff.

01:00:39.800 You know, Whoopi Goldberg, yesterday, that was Jerry Springer.

01:00:43.900 You know, they all Jerry Springer, so you were Jerry Springer.

01:00:47.500 You know who watches.

01:00:49.200 They do about 2.5 million people, which is nothing.

01:00:52.660 All right, that's the same thing the audience at late night is.

01:00:56.140 About 2.5 to 3 million.

01:00:57.940 That's all they're doing, all right?

01:00:59.600 It's enough to make money.

01:01:01.020 They play to a crew, all right?

01:01:03.520 There's not one conservative or traditional American watching The View.

01:01:06.860 It's all left, far-left people.

01:01:10.080 That's what it is.

01:01:11.440 It's that way late night.

01:01:12.640 It's that way dayside.

01:01:14.440 It's that way cable, all right?

01:01:16.600 No longer do you have a show like Johnny Carson where everybody can watch it or Jay Leno.

01:01:20.940 No.

01:01:21.580 It's now polarized.

01:01:23.000 But the hatred is so intense now, not only toward President Trump, but anyone who would

01:01:29.900 support President Trump is now deemed to be the target of invective and threats.

01:01:36.800 Anybody supporting President Trump is fair game to be harmed in this country.

01:01:44.800 So can I ask for some personal advice here, Bill?

01:01:49.100 Because you like mixing it up with people.

01:01:51.280 I don't.

01:01:51.980 I really don't.

01:01:52.840 I was the kid in the family.

01:01:57.100 I grew up in an alcoholic family that just tried to make everybody laugh.

01:02:00.280 Hey, everything's okay.

01:02:01.260 Look over here.

01:02:01.760 Look over here.

01:02:02.940 And so I really don't like confrontation.

01:02:05.220 I obviously picked the wrong job to do.

01:02:09.300 But I'm getting all kinds of pressure.

01:02:11.820 I mean, unbelievable pressure from my publisher.

01:02:14.780 You got to go on The View when your book comes out.

01:02:17.020 I'm like, I have nothing to say to these people.

01:02:18.980 They're not going to listen.

01:02:20.480 They're not going to.

01:02:20.900 The audience isn't going to buy the book.

01:02:22.940 What are you talking about?

01:02:24.100 Why would I put myself in that situation?

01:02:26.880 They are incapable of having a conversation with someone who disagrees with their worldview.

01:02:38.400 They just want to put every wrong that anybody on the right has ever done onto your shoulders.

01:02:47.120 Well, first of all, your publisher is ridiculous.

01:02:49.760 I have a book coming out the same day your book's coming out, September 18th.

01:02:53.180 Right.

01:02:53.680 Killing the SS.

01:02:54.780 Are you going?

01:02:55.320 I'm not going to go on The View.

01:02:56.500 No.

01:02:56.880 Oh, you used to.

01:02:58.060 Oh, wow.

01:02:58.520 You used to.

01:02:59.260 I used to, but it's now totally different.

01:03:02.300 Behar was always a problem.

01:03:04.380 Always.

01:03:05.080 Always.

01:03:05.740 Behar hated you if you weren't a liberal.

01:03:08.680 Yes.

01:03:09.260 From the jump.

01:03:10.460 Yes.

01:03:10.800 But Barbara Walters, even Goldberg, and the other lady they had, it was an interchangeable thing.

01:03:19.380 They were all right.

01:03:20.160 And Walters, because he ran the show, could temper Joy Behar.

01:03:26.880 So you could do it.

01:03:27.980 You could get on there, have a few laughs, make fun of him.

01:03:31.020 My great line of Joy Behar was, isn't your name Joy?

01:03:34.000 Aren't you supposed to be joyful?

01:03:35.600 You know, that kind of thing.

01:03:37.820 Now, you can't do it.

01:03:39.260 So you go on Colbert, or you go on any of these shows, they're going to attack you personally.

01:03:46.660 Personal attacks.

01:03:47.740 That's what they're going to do.

01:03:49.040 Because their audience apparently wants to see that.

01:03:52.920 And some of the right-wing guys on talk radio, they do the same thing.

01:03:58.540 All right?

01:03:59.140 They tear you to pieces with innuendo, with accusation, if you don't see the world the way they see it.

01:04:06.160 So you've got to stop.

01:04:07.580 And the only one who can stop it are the media chieftains, the people who run the organizations.

01:04:14.620 And I'm telling you, it's going to get violent.

01:04:18.140 It is heading there.

01:04:19.200 But never in the history of our republic has there been hatred directed at a president that we're seeing now.

01:04:26.240 Ever.

01:04:27.000 Abraham Lincoln.

01:04:28.040 Abraham Lincoln.

01:04:28.780 No.

01:04:29.480 No.

01:04:29.940 And I'll tell you how, I'll tell you why that's not true.

01:04:33.200 Because Abraham Lincoln was in a war.

01:04:36.080 He was fighting a war.

01:04:37.900 So you would expect that the side that he's fighting against are going to try to kill him, which they openly did.

01:04:43.960 Yeah, okay.

01:04:44.400 All right.

01:04:45.120 I'll give you that.

01:04:46.100 And this is, yes, this isn't, there is no physical war happening.

01:04:50.980 Yes.

01:04:51.280 So no, no president has faced this kind of, and it's organized.

01:04:56.620 It's an organized hatred between Hollywood, New York, running the news media, and the print media.

01:05:04.600 Wait a minute.

01:05:05.260 Three of them.

01:05:05.940 I don't believe that there is a, you're not saying that there is a, they're calling each other up and organizing.

01:05:10.620 It's just that they all are walking in lockstep.

01:05:13.340 They all just believe the same thing.

01:05:14.940 No, no, no.

01:05:15.040 But they're not walking in lockstep.

01:05:16.880 They're being ordered.

01:05:18.740 Okay.

01:05:19.900 Subtly ordered.

01:05:21.560 To get Trump.

01:05:23.720 Who is ordering them?

01:05:24.820 The New York Times and the Washington Post.

01:05:26.460 Look.

01:05:27.040 The Washington Post runs an op-ed by Joe Scarborough yesterday.

01:05:33.120 What?

01:05:33.320 Why?

01:05:34.400 Why?

01:05:34.880 For what reason?

01:05:35.820 You know Scarborough is making money hating Trump, which is exactly what he did in the op-ed.

01:05:42.360 Now, if I call up the Washington Post and say, look, I'd like an op-ed, you know, because I don't, never in a million years would I get that.

01:05:50.440 Correct.

01:05:50.920 Okay?

01:05:51.200 So, the message goes out.

01:05:55.000 Get him.

01:05:56.620 Get him.

01:05:57.800 And all of the people have the message.

01:06:00.540 If you go on CNN, if you're Cuomo at 9 o'clock and go, you know what?

01:06:05.300 President Trump did something really good today, and I want to tell you about it.

01:06:08.600 You're toast.

01:06:10.520 All right?

01:06:10.920 You're toast.

01:06:12.240 You can't do it.

01:06:13.860 So, to give Fox some credit, they do have people on their air anchoring programs who do slam Trump.

01:06:22.880 So, this accusation that Fox News does whatever Trump wants is a lie.

01:06:28.640 But the others are in lockstep, to use your word.

01:06:32.340 So, Bill, what happens?

01:06:38.000 Because when I saw the reaction on Monday of the press, and I saw that they came out, and, you know, this week they're saying this is as bad as Pearl Harbor or Kristallnacht.

01:06:52.020 I know.

01:06:53.000 It's unbelievable.

01:06:54.420 It's unbelievable.

01:06:55.060 It is unbelievable.

01:06:56.320 Look, think back.

01:06:58.180 Since the Vietnam War, the Democratic Party has not favored confrontation with a foreign nation one time.

01:07:07.760 They went along with the Saddam Hussein stuff because of 9-11.

01:07:12.300 But there isn't one time that the Democratic Party has favored confrontation with a foreign power.

01:07:21.100 All right?

01:07:21.600 Ask Ronald Reagan.

01:07:22.720 Mm-hmm.

01:07:24.000 Okay?

01:07:24.360 But now, suddenly, the Democratic Party wants to invade Siberia.

01:07:31.400 Nancy Pelosi is going to land on that beach, and they're going to run in and take care of Putin.

01:07:37.880 Are you blanking kidding me?

01:07:40.540 Okay?

01:07:41.380 So, anybody who knows anything about American politics knows there's one thing only in play here.

01:07:49.080 Get Trump out of office.

01:07:53.040 That's it.

01:07:54.360 Not about Putin.

01:07:55.880 Not about Crimea.

01:07:57.640 Not about anything else.

01:07:59.720 Get him out.

01:08:00.980 If you've got to use the kids on the border, you use the kids on the border.

01:08:04.940 You've got to use Putin in Helsinki.

01:08:07.960 That's what you do.

01:08:09.520 And next week it'll be something else, Beck.

01:08:12.300 It'll be something else.

01:08:13.860 And it all comes back to get him out.

01:08:17.440 Bill, he embarrassed us.

01:08:20.660 He won the election.

01:08:22.180 We were all against him.

01:08:24.000 We, the media, are not going to tolerate.

01:08:26.360 We're going to destroy him.

01:08:28.020 Well, they're not going to...

01:08:29.280 That's what happened to me on Fox News.

01:08:30.400 I know, but they're not going to destroy him.

01:08:32.400 And in fact, I think they're going to end up destroying themselves in the process because...

01:08:36.840 Trump's going to run against them in 2020.

01:08:38.840 Yeah, and he will win because people just...

01:08:43.840 I've never seen a situation where someone can take a bully and make him look like he's the victim.

01:08:54.540 And that's what the press has done.

01:08:56.160 I mean, Donald Trump is ruthless.

01:08:58.260 He's ruthless.

01:08:58.960 But to a lot of Americans, they're looking at this fight and they're like, you're so unreasonable, unhinged.

01:09:08.140 You are...

01:09:09.020 You've gone crazy.

01:09:11.780 I'm with him.

01:09:13.400 It's...

01:09:13.800 I've never seen anything like it.

01:09:15.600 Never seen anything like it.

01:09:16.700 What you just said is 100% correct.

01:09:20.840 And I am stunned in Dublin, Ireland that Glenn Beck has put it so eloquently.

01:09:26.900 Well, so Bill, I've been reading your book.

01:09:31.060 And I will tell you, it's really, really good.

01:09:34.560 It's a frustrating book to read because it's one of those books that you read and you want to read with Google.

01:09:39.060 Because you're like, that can't...

01:09:40.180 It's a Bill O'Reilly book.

01:09:41.060 That can't be right.

01:09:42.520 And I just...

01:09:44.080 It's taking me off into all kinds of offshoots.

01:09:46.280 It's really good.

01:09:47.320 I can't wait for it to come out.

01:09:48.360 Thank you.

01:09:48.620 Yeah.

01:09:49.300 Well, Killing the SS is about evil.

01:09:51.720 And we're seeing evil in our world today, unprecedented, except for the period of time that I'm writing about in Killing the SS.

01:10:01.240 And I just want to remind everybody, like you said, it's a Bill O'Reilly book.

01:10:03.980 There are 17 million copies of the Killing series in print.

01:10:10.360 17 million.

01:10:11.600 So, we stand by every word that we have ever written.

01:10:18.240 And, you know, these people are jealous and they don't like me or they don't like whatever.

01:10:22.220 But I appreciate you reading the book.

01:10:23.660 I know how busy you are, Beck.

01:10:24.940 You know, doing what you do.

01:10:26.660 Yeah.

01:10:26.880 Well, it's good.

01:10:29.000 Killing the SS comes out September 18th from Bill O'Reilly.

01:10:32.980 From joining us from some bar.

01:10:36.200 Maybe.

01:10:36.960 No, no, no.

01:10:38.440 What?

01:10:39.520 Don't give me, don't let the people think I'm some lush.

01:10:42.580 I don't drink.

01:10:43.780 You're Irish.

01:10:45.340 I know, but I don't drink and I don't take narcotics.

01:10:48.700 I don't take narcotics.

01:10:50.080 And I just kind of live my life.

01:10:51.520 I don't know, man.

01:10:52.760 I can see you in a public restroom down by the toilet shooting heroin.

01:10:57.860 I mean, think of that.

01:10:59.280 Yeah, I know.

01:10:59.820 In your suit.

01:11:00.940 In your suit.

01:11:01.560 I can see that.

01:11:02.600 Bill O'Reilly, thanks.

01:11:03.420 Nobody would sell it to me, Beck.

01:11:07.620 Thanks, Bill.

01:11:08.720 All right.

01:11:09.440 We'll see you next week.

01:11:10.240 You got it.

01:11:10.740 Bye-bye.

01:11:11.360 I got to stop this stuff, man.

01:11:12.740 I had this thought that I saw Bill O'Reilly coming and asking me for some heroin.

01:11:17.720 I got to stop.

01:11:18.700 It's getting crazy.

01:11:20.600 Let me tell you about the feedback from the Palm Beach letter and Tika Tiwari's crypto course.

01:11:26.440 Now, it wasn't a crypto course last night.

01:11:29.160 What we had was a special event, and it was on the crypto conspiracy.

01:11:35.280 And I didn't even know why he wanted to call it the crypto conspiracy until I'm watching it with him.

01:11:40.200 But it's amazing what is happening and how the rich are getting richer on cryptocurrency and how these banks and, you know, Goldman Sachs and everything else are telling you not to buy it.

01:11:53.040 All the while, don't listen to what they say.

01:11:56.760 Listen to what they're doing.

01:11:57.860 Watch what they're doing.

01:12:00.300 They're gobbling it up now.

01:12:02.600 Gobbling it up.

01:12:03.860 And it's just getting started.

01:12:05.300 Anyway, about 97% of the people who are in this audience who have taken the crypto course have given it a four or five star rating.

01:12:13.780 The lessons are really easy to understand.

01:12:16.740 If you are at the ground level and you're like, OK, I don't really understand cryptocurrency.

01:12:21.180 I don't even know how to buy it.

01:12:22.560 I don't know how to sell it.

01:12:23.560 What does it mean?

01:12:24.400 What is what is blockchain mean?

01:12:27.100 Take the smart crypto course.

01:12:28.980 It's free.

01:12:29.460 Just go to smart crypto course dot com or call 877 PBL back 877 PBL back.

01:12:36.380 Get more information or go to smart crypto course dot com.

01:12:40.500 Glenn back.

01:12:43.780 You have to choose one.

01:12:45.360 You come home this weekend and your your wife says to you, honey, I made plans.

01:12:49.900 Unfortunately, I double booked.

01:12:51.280 You have to pick one.

01:12:53.120 We have to do one or the other.

01:12:55.780 And you say, OK.

01:12:57.460 And she says, we're having dinner with Whoopi Goldberg or we're going to see Mamma Mia 2.

01:13:06.580 Which one?

01:13:07.420 Which one?

01:13:07.840 I'm going to Mamma Mia 2.

01:13:09.000 You're going to Mamma Mia 2.

01:13:10.060 I am.

01:13:10.800 Yeah.

01:13:11.320 I might because I could just sleep.

01:13:14.160 Maybe I could.

01:13:14.760 Yes.

01:13:14.860 I have a chance of falling asleep.

01:13:16.420 Yeah.

01:13:16.860 Yeah.

01:13:17.840 So at least you have that chance.

01:13:19.420 Right.

01:13:19.840 So if you're having dinner with Whoopi Goldberg, there is a choice.

01:13:23.240 Mamma Mia 2.

01:13:24.060 Everybody else, don't go.

01:13:26.300 Glenn Beck.

01:13:28.140 It's Friday, July 20th.

01:13:30.040 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:13:32.280 Hello, America.

01:13:32.880 Welcome to the program.

01:13:33.720 I'm really glad that you have joined us.

01:13:36.860 Sarah, if you have the doctor on, let's talk to the doctor in a few minutes.

01:13:43.860 Yeah.

01:13:44.220 I really want to talk to the family first, if you will.

01:13:47.340 Sorry for that.

01:13:47.880 But we're just trying to get guests on and they didn't get on until the very last minute.

01:13:52.060 So I have to give some behind-the-scenes instruction here.

01:13:55.000 We have this amazing story.

01:13:56.900 You have them all?

01:13:57.920 Okay, good.

01:13:58.780 So let's start with Jeremy and Julie Lewis, who are Texans, who a summer eight years ago,

01:14:09.420 it was in August, their seven-year-old son died from something that appears to be very,

01:14:15.520 very rare, and when it does happen, people don't necessarily have the answers, and it

01:14:23.240 shouldn't necessarily end in death as it did here.

01:14:26.600 Jeremy and Julie Lewis, welcome to the program.

01:14:29.500 How are you?

01:14:31.040 Good, Mr. Beck.

01:14:31.940 How are you doing this morning?

01:14:33.180 I'm good.

01:14:34.080 I'm good.

01:14:34.920 First of all, sorry for the loss of your son.

01:14:38.280 I can't imagine what it is like to lose a child.

01:14:41.360 I hope I never have to find out.

01:14:43.020 But you guys were just enjoying a regular summer, and what happened?

01:14:51.600 We decided to take one last trip, and we visited two spots.

01:14:58.280 We visited a lake and a river in Texas, and we've said before that it was one of the best

01:15:05.600 vacations that we've ever taken.

01:15:08.580 When we got home, Kyle started second grade.

01:15:12.460 He went to school Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.

01:15:15.840 We had a baseball scrimmage.

01:15:17.200 He played one of the best baseball games he'd ever played in his life.

01:15:21.040 And then Thursday morning, he woke up with a headache, and it progressed to high spiky

01:15:27.580 fevers, vomiting, which just, you know, I mean, that's something a normal kid to get.

01:15:33.220 They just get cold.

01:15:34.100 And originally, that's what we thought it was, and until it wasn't, and we decided to, our

01:15:40.240 pediatrician told us to take him into the emergency room, and they did.

01:15:44.520 And immediately, they could tell something was a little more wrong than just a cold.

01:15:49.300 Um, so they decided to quarantine him, um, and then from there, the, it just, it, it progressively

01:15:56.740 got worse.

01:15:57.540 How, how long was this process?

01:16:01.400 We went in on Thursday night.

01:16:03.700 Uh, Julie took Kyle to Cook Children's Hospital in Fort Worth on Thursday night.

01:16:08.760 Um, and he was gone Sunday morning at 11-11.

01:16:12.460 Oh, my gosh.

01:16:13.680 Oh, my gosh.

01:16:15.220 So, go ahead.

01:16:18.040 That, that's the thing about this amoeba and the, and the, you know, Pam, and, um, it acts

01:16:23.600 so quickly that, um, one of the other fathers of a child that they lost in Florida, um, he

01:16:31.500 said it best.

01:16:32.240 He said, when you realize what it is, it's too late.

01:16:35.820 Uh, well, or it was for us, um, because back then, you know, seven years ago, we didn't

01:16:42.120 have the drug that we have now.

01:16:44.240 Um, but it's just, it's, it's devastating.

01:16:46.800 If anybody knew Kyle the way that we knew Kyle is, his hair was on fire and, and you

01:16:52.500 couldn't hold the kid down unless you duct taped him to a tree, um, which I actually

01:16:57.580 did.

01:16:57.980 Uh, but it, it, it takes these kiddos and, and it, it, it's horrible.

01:17:07.280 Like you said, you'll hope you never have to go through it.

01:17:09.480 It's worst case scenario.

01:17:10.820 We're not supposed to bury our kids.

01:17:13.160 Um, it's just, it's devastating.

01:17:16.000 So, um, there's a, a special done by a friend of mine who is producing this special, uh, Darren

01:17:21.560 Foster, who used to produce for me, uh, eons ago.

01:17:24.480 Um, he's doing this medical miniseries, uh, on, uh, on HLN and it premieres Sunday and

01:17:31.180 it's something's killing me.

01:17:32.860 And it's the, these medical mysteries that, you know, we're, we're able to find now, or

01:17:39.120 we're able to cure that, uh, have been plaguing us for, uh, quite some time.

01:17:43.840 Um, Julie, are you there?

01:17:46.660 I am.

01:17:47.620 So can, can you tell me as a, as a mom, what, what was this and, and what happened?

01:17:54.480 Uh, to us, we thought he maybe just had a cold or a flu.

01:18:01.200 And then that evening when they told me he might have viral meningitis, we thought he

01:18:06.300 was going to sleep it off and maybe get medication and go home and become the rambunctious boy

01:18:11.840 again that we knew.

01:18:12.800 But everything changed that Sunday morning and they didn't actually find this amoeba until

01:18:18.640 after he had passed away.

01:18:20.340 Really?

01:18:20.900 Um, and the world changed forever at that moment.

01:18:25.020 And they didn't have the drug then, but they do now?

01:18:29.540 No.

01:18:30.540 They do now.

01:18:31.840 Yes.

01:18:32.520 Um, there will, there's been lots of studies for many, many years and there were some things

01:18:37.500 that did help to kill the amoeba, but it's such rapid destruction that it wasn't timely

01:18:45.560 enough.

01:18:46.020 And, um, it, it's fatal.

01:18:49.760 So this, this actually, this, this amoeba actually eats the brain?

01:18:55.100 It, yeah, it multiplies, um, itself and destroys the brain.

01:19:00.460 And it, and how did it get into Kyle through the river or?

01:19:05.060 Um, well, we know it's present in the river, in the lake that we were in, um, present in

01:19:11.260 most fresh bodies of water, but it goes up, if it gets up the nose through the olfactory

01:19:17.180 nerve, it's when it starts its destruction.

01:19:21.400 That makes me never want to get into a river or a lake again.

01:19:25.880 Yeah.

01:19:26.880 I grew, you know, we grew up in Texas and we were always in a lake.

01:19:29.920 We were always in a river.

01:19:30.700 I was in cattle pond, uh, you know, it's never, it's never something you think about, but

01:19:35.200 after we learn, um, you know, one of the taglines that, that everybody always uses is that it's

01:19:40.060 so rare, it's so rare, you know, and in the grand scheme of things, when you look at how

01:19:44.200 many cases have been correctly identified, it is, I'll go along with that.

01:19:48.500 But what's even scarier, Glenn, is that when, when these kids go into the hospitals, the

01:19:54.440 doctors have no idea.

01:19:55.660 They're not thinking about it because their whole life, their whole medical career, all

01:20:00.340 they've heard and all they've ever been told is that it's so rare.

01:20:04.060 So that's what I, so that's what I was kind of asking Julie or Jeremy, whichever one can

01:20:08.780 answer this is, well, how did it manifest itself that we, that, that a parent could see,

01:20:14.340 wait a minute, wait a minute, this is something different.

01:20:16.260 You know, it's, it's, it's, it's one of those things, uh, we were in the hospital and we

01:20:21.840 got a text message from Julie's mom and, and she's Saturday more mid-morning.

01:20:28.480 Um, she, she actually said, look, you guys were in fresh bodies of water.

01:20:32.440 These are his symptoms.

01:20:34.000 She found it on Google and she, she said, this is it.

01:20:37.720 When we were in the hospital on Saturday afternoon, Glenn, I showed the phone, my wife's phone to

01:20:43.260 the doctor and the doctor looked at us and said, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis.

01:20:46.260 If your son had this, he would already be dead.

01:20:50.380 24 hours later, my son is gone.

01:20:54.340 And so what I was saying earlier is that it goes misdiagnosed far greater than it goes

01:21:01.960 correctly diagnosed because you literally have three to four days in the hospital before

01:21:10.580 anybody knows what's going on.

01:21:13.040 The kid's already so far lost that nobody can do anything.

01:21:18.040 Kyle was in the hospital on Sunday and he passed, we lost brain activity at five 30 or six in

01:21:23.760 the morning.

01:21:24.320 They didn't find the amoeba in his spinal fluid until 11 or yeah, around 11, uh, 10 o'clock,

01:21:29.420 nine o'clock.

01:21:29.980 And so what, one of our other deals that the foundation has done is, and we had help from

01:21:38.240 other foundations in Florida, we found this drug in the CDC.

01:21:41.780 We found this drug, um, that the CDC had.

01:21:46.440 Um, it was just one of those things to where, um, it was such, there was so much red tape

01:21:53.400 that the CDC had to go through and, and, and positively identify it by, and, and then get

01:21:59.200 the drug.

01:21:59.840 Well, but like I just said, by the time you positively identify it, it's too late.

01:22:05.260 So we found the drug in, uh, Canada where they, we found out that it was going to be coming

01:22:12.400 to the U S our foundation and another foundation have successfully put that medication, which

01:22:19.460 is miltethazine in how many states, 20 different hospitals in, in six or seven states.

01:22:29.240 And the reason we wanted to do that is we started an initiative that if, if we can go in as a

01:22:34.820 nonprofit organization, as, as a parent, then what we, what we want is I wanted a star basically

01:22:41.180 in the United States.

01:22:42.120 I wanted one in the North, one or two in Texas, one or two in Florida and one or two in California.

01:22:47.440 And then somewhere in the, in the middle of the U S and we have that we have California,

01:22:52.200 we have Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, South Carolina, North Carolina, Colorado, um, and, and, and

01:23:00.580 now Nebraska.

01:23:02.200 Okay.

01:23:02.320 I've got to, I've got to, um, move on.

01:23:04.500 I hate to, I hate to do this to you.

01:23:06.160 Um, but Jeremy and, uh, uh, Julie, thank you so much for, um, you know, taking something

01:23:13.680 really tragic and making it into something good.

01:23:15.760 You can find out more about what they're doing and you can help, uh, and find out more about

01:23:20.560 this at Kyle cares.com K Y L E cares.com.

01:23:26.800 Um, I really quickly, uh, we, we have, uh, Dr. Jennifer Cope on, uh, with us and I just

01:23:36.040 quickly want to get, you know, the, the doctor's, uh, perspective, uh, on this, on, uh, what the

01:23:44.840 difference is, what people should look for.

01:23:47.040 We have, uh, uh, Dr. Cope on with us now, doctor, how are you, Jennifer, are you there?

01:23:53.680 I am.

01:23:54.400 Hi.

01:23:54.940 I am.

01:23:55.300 Yes.

01:23:56.100 So, so welcome to the program.

01:23:57.960 So, um, how, you know, Jeremy was saying, oh, it's, it's, they're saying it's rare, but

01:24:03.340 it's probably misdiagnosed.

01:24:05.680 Is this something we should be worried about when we get our kids into the river and to

01:24:09.780 the lakes?

01:24:11.920 Well, it's certainly something, fortunately we, it is, um, a very serious illness as, as you

01:24:17.920 heard from the Lewis's and, and we certainly, um, empathize with them at the loss of their

01:24:23.020 son.

01:24:23.440 Um, we just see, fortunately just see a handful of cases each year.

01:24:29.160 Um, but because of the seriousness of it, we do think it's something people should be

01:24:33.680 aware of when they do, um, get into the water in the summer.

01:24:37.400 Um, and there are, you know, just, there are a few things that, uh, people can do to, to

01:24:41.820 potentially minimize, uh, the risk of contracting this.

01:24:45.260 Like, like what?

01:24:46.580 Well, the first, the only absolute way to really, to, to keep from getting this, uh, amoebic

01:24:53.020 infection is to keep your head out of the water.

01:24:55.200 Because as you heard, the water, um, the amoeba gains access to the body, um, in the,

01:25:00.620 when water goes up the nose, um, and into the brain.

01:25:03.820 And so really the only way is to keep that, keep the head above water.

01:25:07.840 Um, but we realized that there are a lot of activities that involve putting the head

01:25:11.580 underwater as well as, you know, things that where water gets up the nose.

01:25:15.580 And so some things you can do to minimize the water getting up the nose is either holding

01:25:20.420 your nose or using nose clips when you're doing those types of activities.

01:25:24.880 Um, the other thing is if you're going into the other body of water, you might want to

01:25:29.160 think about is hot springs.

01:25:30.320 This is an amoeba that really thrives in warm water.

01:25:33.240 So is this like, if you're going up to, let's say the Finger Lakes or the Great Lakes and, uh,

01:25:38.860 or especially the Finger Lakes where it gets really, really cold, does this amoeba die

01:25:43.720 in cold?

01:25:44.440 Is it only in hot, warmer climates or is this all over the country?

01:25:49.360 Well, um, it, it really thrives in those warmer water temperatures.

01:25:53.560 Um, when in colder water temperatures, it doesn't necessarily die.

01:25:57.180 It, um, it has a couple of life forms and it becomes in colder and less favorable conditions.

01:26:03.020 It becomes a cyst form.

01:26:04.940 Um, and that cyst can persist that allows it to withstand those harsher conditions.

01:26:10.140 Um, and so when the water becomes warm again, it could, it could, um,

01:26:14.120 come back to life and in the form where it does infect people.

01:26:17.800 Um, and, but we do think it's really, it's during the warmer weather seasons in the, in

01:26:23.420 the warmer parts of the country.

01:26:24.740 Although we have seen it, um, in more Northern states.

01:26:27.620 And so when somebody, so we don't have a bunch of people taking their sick kids to the hospital

01:26:31.820 saying, I've got an amoeba that's eating my brain.

01:26:33.900 Um, are there any specific signs that you look for?

01:26:40.780 Well, really?

01:26:41.740 So unfortunately there's not a specific sign.

01:26:44.800 What, what it would be is, is a type of meningitis, which has, um, general symptoms of headache,

01:26:50.920 nausea, vomiting that are obviously very common to a number of different illnesses.

01:26:55.280 The big thing with spinal meningitis though, is you, you know, is it sore?

01:26:58.880 Or is it hurt to turn your head?

01:27:01.440 Um, and that's a, you know, that's a big sign that's, that sets it apart.

01:27:06.340 Is there anything like that?

01:27:08.280 That is certainly a part of any type of meningitis, although that's a, maybe a little bit of a

01:27:12.940 later sign, um, and something that, you know, not everyone experiences.

01:27:17.720 The key would be when, if you develop, if your child or you develop that sort of, those

01:27:22.260 sort of symptoms and you're seeking medical attention, the key is to mention that, that you

01:27:26.900 might've had water exposure in the past few days or week.

01:27:30.860 Um, so at least this diagnosis can be considered.

01:27:34.200 Okay.

01:27:34.700 Just a personal question here.

01:27:36.460 You're an infectious disease doctor at the CDC.

01:27:39.520 At what point in your life did you go, I want to specialize in infectious diseases.

01:27:44.900 That just does not sound, I don't know, safe.

01:27:48.040 It just doesn't sound safe.

01:27:50.280 Well, believe it or not, there's a lot of us that really do enjoy the study of infectious

01:27:54.200 diseases.

01:27:54.760 Um, I'm sure they are.

01:27:56.500 I just, I'm wondering what it, I mean, what attracted you to, I mean, do you go like to,

01:28:01.560 do you study things like Ebola and everything else?

01:28:05.240 Um, I, uh, the, obviously the CDC studies that that's not my particular area of study,

01:28:11.280 but, um, I, you know, during that time, a number of us at the agency did participate

01:28:15.700 in that response.

01:28:17.480 Jeez.

01:28:17.580 God bless you.

01:28:19.460 Thank you for doing things that most of us would never do.

01:28:23.180 Thank you for that.

01:28:24.860 Uh, Dr. Jennifer Cope with the, uh, CDC.

01:28:27.100 Thank you so much.

01:28:28.660 God bless.

01:28:28.900 Thank you for having me.

01:28:29.840 You bet.

01:28:30.080 Uh, by the way, you watch, uh, this is a new, uh, medical, uh, mystery series called

01:28:34.840 something's killing me with BD Wong.

01:28:37.960 It's Sunday, 8 PM only on HLN.

01:28:41.940 And again, the, um, uh, the, um, uh, the Lewis foundation for, uh, for Kyle.

01:28:49.660 That's really doing some amazing stuff is Kyle cares.com.

01:28:56.300 All right.

01:28:56.840 I want to take a moment here to mention our sponsor.

01:28:59.840 Um, our sponsor is Casper Casper.

01:29:03.900 Um, Casper knows that if you sleep on their mattress, if you really sleep on your mattress,

01:29:09.640 uh, you're going to, uh, you're going to discover that you're going to get a better night's sleep

01:29:14.720 than on most mattresses.

01:29:15.960 But if you go into a store, I mean, what it, I mean, what are you doing?

01:29:19.700 You're wearing your clothes, you're laying on it for 10 minutes and you can't tell anything.

01:29:24.580 I mean, I, you can get a comfortable chair and you're sitting in the chair and like,

01:29:27.600 Oh, this is the greatest.

01:29:28.960 Then go, I'll just take it home, sit and watch a couple of movies in it and, uh, see

01:29:33.600 how your back feels.

01:29:34.420 It's, it can change dramatically once you're actually using it day after day.

01:29:40.780 That's why they have the 100 night sleep test every night for a hundred nights.

01:29:45.820 And if you don't love it, you call them, they refund all of the money and they take the

01:29:49.140 Casper mattress back.

01:29:50.720 Uh, and there's no questions asked.

01:29:52.560 They want you to have an amazing sleep.

01:29:55.000 Like I have every single night with a Casper mattress, it ships free right to your door.

01:30:00.060 You, uh, you know, you, you're not going to sweat all night.

01:30:04.420 I'm saying this as a man who is sleeping in a Casper mattress, uh, and it's 110 outside

01:30:11.660 and I am sleeping like I sleep during the winter.

01:30:15.140 I'm not sweating and I hate those foam mattresses.

01:30:18.540 You've had one of those mattresses.

01:30:20.360 Oh yes.

01:30:21.640 Oh my gosh.

01:30:22.060 You wake up drenched in a swimming pool of sweat.

01:30:25.900 Oh, it's awful.

01:30:27.440 Perhaps brain eating.

01:30:29.440 Okay.

01:30:29.840 Well, you didn't need to throw that.

01:30:31.060 Uh, anyway, Casper has reinvented that this is breathable.

01:30:34.960 And so it has the same support and comfort, but it is, uh, this is better.

01:30:40.100 They've got the pressure points all worked out and it's breathable.

01:30:44.000 Save $50 on select mattresses right now.

01:30:47.040 If you use the promo code back at Casper.com again, save 50 bucks.

01:30:50.880 Casper.com promo code back terms and conditions to apply.

01:30:54.800 You know, I have to apologize to you.

01:30:58.560 Uh, a couple of days ago, one of our producers pitched this, uh, story of the brain eating

01:31:02.560 amoeba, uh, to me.

01:31:04.520 And I was like, uh, well, you know, it's a Texas couple and it, yeah, I mean, they're

01:31:08.220 just normal people and it happened and blah, blah, blah.

01:31:11.140 I know.

01:31:11.560 I apologize because now, now all I'm going to be thinking for the rest of summer is my

01:31:16.640 kids, children, my children's brains are going to be eaten by an amoeba.

01:31:19.660 Um, you know, God, God, no, no, no, don't get in the pool.

01:31:22.600 Don't get in the pool.

01:31:23.520 Don't get in the pool.

01:31:24.180 Yeah.

01:31:24.300 Cause the good news is not only is it freshwater rivers and lakes, it's also your swimming pool.

01:31:29.540 If it's not properly maintained, you can have this amoeba.

01:31:33.840 And it's a little chilling that 97% of all the people that got, that contracted this from

01:31:39.940 62 to 2016 died.

01:31:42.800 You're not helping 97%.

01:31:44.600 You're not helping.

01:31:46.060 Scary.

01:31:46.820 Yeah.

01:31:47.000 I have, you know, my, my wife, when she wanted a, a, a salt water pool instead, I don't want

01:31:53.060 all those chemicals in the pool and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

01:31:56.360 And I'm like, well, we'll salt kill everything.

01:31:59.900 It's supposed to, yes, honey.

01:32:03.380 So now, you know, now that I have a grandchildren and, you know, you see the grandkids get out

01:32:07.840 and, you know, they're just peeing as they're getting out of the pool.

01:32:11.480 You're like, Oh, um, and I'm not sure the salt is doing all of that.

01:32:17.400 And I have a friend who's, uh, they're building a pool and they've decided to have a fresh water

01:32:22.660 pool.

01:32:23.840 Have you heard of this?

01:32:25.480 It's a, it's, it's a fresh water pond.

01:32:28.720 So you build it like a pool, but somehow or another, you build it with these, I don't

01:32:33.140 know, these flower beds around it on like three sides and the plants filter the water.

01:32:42.560 So the water goes through the plant system and then into the pool.

01:32:47.440 I guess it like, isn't it murky and dirty after that?

01:32:50.120 Apparently not.

01:32:51.020 I don't know.

01:32:52.500 I mean, I've seen it.

01:32:53.660 You, you look up freshwater pools, you just look it up online and you'll see it and they

01:32:57.180 look nice and you know, everything, but I don't know.

01:33:00.580 I mean, are they filtering out amoebas?

01:33:02.320 I just, I, you know, there's a, there's a place where chemicals are your friend.

01:33:07.720 Yeah.

01:33:08.040 You know what I mean?

01:33:09.380 There is a place.

01:33:10.620 I love the natural stuff and everything else, but there's probably some germs that we should

01:33:16.480 be killing, uh, in this and the brain eating amoeba is maybe should be on the top of our

01:33:22.760 list.

01:33:23.100 I'm just saying.

01:33:23.600 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:33:28.000 So 49th anniversary of the moon landing.

01:33:30.420 I'm sorry.

01:33:31.720 49th anniversary of Hollywood, uh, acting like we landed on the moon.

01:33:36.840 Thank you.

01:33:38.480 We all know it was done on a soundstage.

01:33:41.300 You know, there is this, a new study out.

01:33:43.960 There are more you, it's easier to find Democrats, uh, who believe, uh, who believe we didn't go

01:33:51.700 to the moon than there are those who, uh, are considered patriotic, love the constitution,

01:34:00.820 really proud of the country, love the flag.

01:34:04.660 That's pretty remarkable.

01:34:06.200 It's pretty remarkable.

01:34:07.700 It's also despicable.

01:34:10.880 Oh my God.

01:34:11.580 Why the hate?

01:34:12.120 Why the, why the addict?

01:34:15.240 Why?

01:34:15.680 Why just because they, just because they think they're anti-American, just because they think

01:34:19.980 differently than you, you know, it's amazing is we really don't have anything to argue

01:34:28.020 about unless you want to get rid of the bill of rights.

01:34:32.120 If you want to get rid of the bill of rights, then we have a lot.

01:34:35.900 We, in fact, we have lots to argue about and probably lots to fight about.

01:34:40.640 Um, but if, if you agree with the bill of rights and that they should be applied equally

01:34:47.880 to all men, then we don't have anything to argue about because you're not going to shut

01:34:55.020 me down and I'm not going to shut you down.

01:34:56.960 And there's tons that we can disagree on.

01:35:00.100 But remember, we wanted to focus on our, all of our differences.

01:35:03.380 This is what happens with multiculturalism.

01:35:05.460 You focus on your differences until that's all that's left.

01:35:09.320 We need to focus on our unum.

01:35:12.660 We need, this is what my book is about, um, comes out September 18th.

01:35:17.040 You can grab it on Amazon right now.

01:35:18.940 Pre-order a copy, uh, of, uh, my latest book called Addicted to Outrage, but it is the search

01:35:25.180 for our unum.

01:35:26.900 Stop concentrating on the things that divide us.

01:35:31.100 Do you believe in free speech?

01:35:33.920 If you do, then I'm going to put you to the test.

01:35:38.040 I'm going to show you people who say things that are really not good, really not good.

01:35:47.820 So you're advocating shutting them up, shutting them up completely.

01:35:50.800 No, I've never had their mouths.

01:35:52.200 I've surgically sewn shut.

01:35:53.740 I've have them removed.

01:35:55.300 Why would you sew them shut?

01:35:56.680 They could cut those stitches open.

01:35:58.600 You remove their mouths.

01:35:59.760 Um, I, I, what I'm, I'm suggesting is Louis Farrakhan is a dangerous man.

01:36:07.640 I have never advocated for him to be silenced.

01:36:12.100 Never.

01:36:15.200 Okay.

01:36:16.140 So why, if he can say those things, if he can say those things, why can't I say what I believe?

01:36:25.420 Now, I know there's, there's hate speech, but there's not hate speech.

01:36:31.840 There's just speech.

01:36:33.900 There's just speech.

01:36:36.380 There's hate crimes.

01:36:37.480 No, there's not hate crimes.

01:36:38.560 There's just crime.

01:36:41.060 That's what there is crime.

01:36:42.820 I don't care why you killed that person.

01:36:45.620 You killed that person.

01:36:48.180 Is it?

01:36:49.080 Oh yes, but he did it with hate in his heart.

01:36:51.300 Oh, you mean that person over there?

01:36:53.160 OJ Simpson chopped her head off with love.

01:36:56.520 That wasn't a hate crime.

01:36:58.580 That doesn't make any sense.

01:37:00.100 They're both dead.

01:37:01.880 You did it.

01:37:02.880 I don't really care what your motivation was unless it was self-defense.

01:37:08.580 If, if you understand the bill of, see, this is the real problem.

01:37:12.200 People don't understand.

01:37:14.980 We don't need amendments to the constitution.

01:37:18.300 We just need to pay attention to the first 10 because almost everything of consequence after that, that's not a rule change.

01:37:28.240 Like, you know, you can't run for more than two terms as president.

01:37:31.440 Those things I accept, but like the, you know, the 14th amendment and the 18th, the 19th amendment.

01:37:39.960 We didn't need those.

01:37:41.520 Oh, Glenn Beck wants to take us back to slavery.

01:37:43.600 No.

01:37:44.200 What part of all men don't you understand?

01:37:48.860 The founders always, they wrote it.

01:37:51.880 They wrote it very clearly.

01:37:53.120 And I swear to you, all of the amendments after the 10th, with the exception of rule changes, they're all like, okay, all right, let me know.

01:38:01.740 Okay.

01:38:02.140 I guess you're too dumb to understand.

01:38:04.100 We meant black people too.

01:38:06.620 We, we, we meant women too.

01:38:10.080 It's just, it's craziness.

01:38:12.260 It is absolute craziness.

01:38:14.220 And we're sitting here killing each other.

01:38:16.820 I don't know if you saw what, uh, Mark Duplass, um, tweeted, but there's this big Twitter war going on.

01:38:24.040 Stop it.

01:38:26.180 So Mark Duplass is a friend.

01:38:28.300 I mean, it's not like we hang out with each other, but we've, we've talked several times.

01:38:33.120 Uh, and, uh, you know, I, I should say maybe we're allies and he's a filmmaker in case.

01:38:38.280 Yes.

01:38:39.000 Uh, he's a great filmmaker, a great filmmaker, makes a lot of stuff for exacted in movies.

01:38:44.420 And yeah, yeah, he's really good.

01:38:46.280 Look him up.

01:38:46.740 He and his brother, they're really good.

01:38:48.620 Um, I don't agree with him on stuff.

01:38:51.500 He's, he is a liberal.

01:38:52.900 I don't agree with him, but we both agree on the constitution and the bill of rights.

01:38:56.840 Okay.

01:38:57.280 So what are we killing each other over?

01:39:00.880 So he's on this kick kind of like, like I have been on, can we just, can we, can we lower the temperature here?

01:39:08.440 Can we just lower the temperature?

01:39:11.660 Can we not find good things in people?

01:39:15.440 So yesterday he was under attack because he wrote fellow liberals, uh, if you're interested at all in crossing the aisle, you should consider following Ben Shapiro.

01:39:31.160 I don't agree with him on much, but he's a genuine person who once helped me for no other reason than to be nice.

01:39:37.840 He doesn't bend the truth.

01:39:39.760 His intentions are good.

01:39:42.160 Oh my.

01:39:43.820 Oh, the humanity.

01:39:44.680 Oh, the humanity.

01:39:46.180 How did they come down on him?

01:39:47.760 Oh, oh my gosh.

01:39:50.940 It was, they were calling Ben Shapiro a white supremacist.

01:39:55.640 Yeah.

01:39:56.220 Based on what?

01:39:57.900 Yeah.

01:39:58.280 Give me one example of his white supremacy.

01:40:02.500 Yeah.

01:40:03.080 He was homophobe, all that kind of stuff.

01:40:05.420 Oh my gosh.

01:40:05.760 He was called all kinds of names.

01:40:08.580 And so Mark Taplos hours and hours later, after just being pummeled by the mob, he wrote, so that tweet was a disaster.

01:40:18.640 I want to clear that I am in no way endorsing hatred, racism, homophobia, xenophobia, or any kind of intolerance.

01:40:25.700 My goal has always been to spread unity, understanding, and kindness.

01:40:29.480 I'm going to make mistakes along the way.

01:40:31.600 Sometimes I move too quickly when I get excited or fail to do enough research, or I don't communicate myself clearly.

01:40:37.660 I'm really sorry.

01:40:38.800 I understand that I need to be more diligent and careful.

01:40:41.700 I'm working on that.

01:40:42.960 But I do deeply believe in bipartisan understanding and will continue to do my best to promote peace and decency in the world.

01:40:49.640 That said, I hear you.

01:40:51.420 And I want to say thank you to those who reached out with constructive criticism.

01:40:54.800 I have genuinely learned so much and wish everyone in this the best.

01:40:58.560 Mark Taplos.

01:40:59.520 So it was courageous.

01:41:01.380 And deleted the Shapiro.

01:41:02.500 And deleted the Shapiro thing.

01:41:04.060 So it was courageous for him to try.

01:41:07.800 But the next step, courage leads to heroism.

01:41:12.960 And he didn't take that final step into being heroic.

01:41:20.260 Courage means I'm going to go in and face the mob.

01:41:23.160 And I know I'm probably going to be unpopular for this.

01:41:26.600 Heroism is when you stand your ground.

01:41:32.280 So he didn't stand his ground.

01:41:34.020 But I give him points for doing it in the first place and not giving up.

01:41:39.860 So here's Ben Shapiro's response.

01:41:43.020 Do you have the audio of Ben Shapiro?

01:41:44.060 I think that Mark's a nice guy from what I can tell.

01:41:46.320 He came into our offices a couple of months ago because he was doing a project about guns and gun control.

01:41:50.920 And he wanted kind of the right wing Second Amendment views.

01:41:53.060 So he came in.

01:41:53.700 We talked for about an hour and a half.

01:41:54.820 And then he took off.

01:41:55.460 I told him at the time that it's probably good that people don't know that we met.

01:41:58.020 Since folks in Hollywood are not particularly fond of people on the right and any association with people on the right is not going to work out well.

01:42:04.300 He sort of tweeted that out unsolicited.

01:42:06.680 I hadn't talked with him since that day, actually.

01:42:09.080 Since folks in Hollywood are not particularly fond of people on the right and any association with people on the right is not going to work out well.

01:42:14.940 Well, he sort of tweeted that out unsolicited.

01:42:17.740 I hadn't talked with him since that day, actually.

01:42:20.600 And the blowback on Twitter was from a lot of his Hollywood friends, a lot of people on the far left.

01:42:25.680 And just as we've seen many, many times, the sort of mom mentality rules on Twitter.

01:42:29.380 And he promptly deleted that tweet after probably an hour or two.

01:42:33.740 And then this morning he put up a full apology.

01:42:36.460 That was after I texted him last night, by the way, and told him that I didn't mind that he deleted the tweet, considering he still has to work in this town and Hollywood isn't fond of people who are friendly to anybody across the aisle.

01:42:45.280 He put up a full apology for ever having suggested that I was a nice person who had views worth listening to.

01:42:52.700 So that was wonderful.

01:42:53.780 I don't blame Duplass for pulling down the tweet.

01:42:55.820 I didn't ask him to make the nice tweet in the first place.

01:42:58.340 I feel bad for the guy, honestly.

01:42:59.960 I mean, he's sort of stuck between a rock and a hard place in that he made a decent statement.

01:43:03.420 And then everybody on the left came down on him and he still wants to work in the town.

01:43:06.460 Okay.

01:43:07.580 So now here's heroism.

01:43:12.060 Here's heroism.

01:43:14.200 Brad Weinstein, a guy who plays a pretty big part in my upcoming book and is a guy I have not talked to.

01:43:26.960 I have corresponded with him a couple of times, but I don't want to.

01:43:31.940 I want to talk to him on the air with you for the first time, because we should on paper hate each other's guts, should hate each other's guts.

01:43:41.280 He is a left-wing professor from Evergreen College, which really, it really does.

01:43:54.120 It makes Berkeley look like Liberty University.

01:43:56.500 And he was, what he went through at Evergreen, when he dared to stand up and say, wait a minute, wait a minute, you're telling white people to stay home?

01:44:12.300 That doesn't make any sense.

01:44:14.720 And then when they insisted that he call a woman a man because they chose to be identified as a man, he's an evolutionary biologist.

01:44:27.040 And he's like, well, when did the science change?

01:44:31.340 And that didn't go over well.

01:44:33.400 And he risked his life to stand in that college.

01:44:37.580 Literally, when you hear this guy's story, it'll blow your mind.

01:44:40.040 He risked his life.

01:44:41.260 He left the university.

01:44:44.020 His wife left the university.

01:44:46.260 You know, they have not changed their point of view on their belief, their policy or anything else.

01:44:52.200 But they know the destruction firsthand.

01:44:58.100 So yesterday, when he saw this, Brett tweeted this.

01:45:04.220 No, Mark, you had it right the first time.

01:45:07.500 Listening to those you disagree with is key to enlightenment and progress.

01:45:13.740 Punishing people who show curiosity is part of a cynical agenda that requires us to remain divided and cartoonish to each other.

01:45:25.120 The backlash was not about Shapiro.

01:45:27.740 It was about you breaking ranks.

01:45:33.020 That, in my opinion, is a hero.

01:45:37.500 Because he has everything to lose.

01:45:41.420 When you find people in the media, I don't care if they are left or right, and they are taking a stand that they are getting beaten to death for.

01:45:55.500 Even if you don't agree with that stand, applaud them.

01:46:00.400 Applaud them.

01:46:01.180 We need to start exercising a muscle of standing up against a mob.

01:46:07.500 And there is a mob on both sides.

01:46:10.680 Now, one is an experienced mob.

01:46:14.400 The, you know, Occupy Wall Street and Antifa have been a mob for a very long time, especially Antifa.

01:46:25.560 Since long, literally since long before I was born.

01:46:32.100 But the right's developing one, too.

01:46:34.080 If you disagree with anything and you step out of line, you're done.

01:46:39.060 You're a traitor.

01:46:39.900 We cannot use, we cannot use that language with each other.

01:46:47.260 I'm going to avoid the people on the alt-right.

01:46:51.520 I know who they are.

01:46:53.540 I know the earmarks of them.

01:46:55.420 I know when I hear people starting to circle the drain of the alt-right, because the language is very specific.

01:47:06.520 Same with the social justice warriors that are circling the drain that are going towards Antifa and violence.

01:47:15.640 And violence is being taught now in Washington on both sides, the verbal beatings on both sides.

01:47:26.280 And the left is getting more and more.

01:47:29.160 I mean, look at Maxine Waters.

01:47:31.820 While she didn't call for violence, she did call for mobs.

01:47:37.040 And you have to stand up against it.

01:47:40.220 Because if you don't stand up now, it's only going to get harder.

01:47:45.880 You must exercise the muscles in your spine or around your spine.

01:47:52.920 You must stand for those who are facing the mob.

01:48:03.540 I want to talk to you a little bit about SimpliSafe, a company that just obsesses over the details.

01:48:10.300 The glass break sensor.

01:48:12.200 I've always wondered, how do they know the difference between I drop a glass in the kitchen or somebody breaks a window in my kitchen?

01:48:21.420 Well, I didn't know that.

01:48:23.260 I assumed that I couldn't necessarily tell the difference.

01:48:27.220 How could a glass break sensor do that?

01:48:29.720 But it's worse than even I thought.

01:48:31.800 Most glass break sensors can go off when babies start to cry.

01:48:35.380 I don't know what kind of baby you've got, but my baby doesn't sound like glass breaking.

01:48:41.000 Thank God.

01:48:42.880 However, when they cry, I have thought about breaking glass so I could get out.

01:48:47.640 But anyway, they've developed a glass break test facility.

01:48:52.000 Before they launched theirs, they ran over 10,000 live glass break simulations.

01:48:57.220 So what they did is they, I guess, had somebody standing in and just breaking plates, breaking glasses,

01:49:02.400 until they could hone this thing so it could distinguish between a broken plate and a broken window.

01:49:11.300 This is how they obsess, and this is why they have the best service out there.

01:49:15.220 It's SimpliSafe.

01:49:16.220 It's an alarm system that you own, and you never have to think about it.

01:49:21.200 It's really intuitive.

01:49:22.900 It has 24-7 monitoring with police and fire dispatch.

01:49:26.260 If you want it, it's $15 a month.

01:49:29.160 There's no contract with it.

01:49:30.980 It's the best around-the-clock protection that you can find.
