The Glenn Beck Program - 'Standing for Balance'？ (Riaz Patel & Julianne Benzel join Glenn)

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

00:00:16.940 The average American today is going to spend two hours on social media.

00:00:22.100 The average teenager trounces this number with nine hours.

00:00:26.640 That is longer than the average school day.

00:00:30.260 Nine hours on social media.

00:00:33.700 Only 5% of Americans were using Facebook back in 2005.

00:00:37.500 Today, the number is over 70%.

00:00:40.180 Roughly 50% of all millennials say they get their news exclusively from Facebook and Twitter.

00:00:46.920 These numbers are huge and are changing everything about America and the world as we know it.

00:00:54.160 Facebook is dominating news and it is threatening to eventually render the legacy media outlets obsolete in the very near future.

00:01:05.380 Let me say that again, in the very near future.

00:01:10.600 Knowing all of these facts and figures, what would you say if I told you that there have been people leveraging this power to manipulate the way you think, the way you feel, and the way you vote?

00:01:22.280 A political data firm hired by President Trump's election campaign called Cambridge Analytica.

00:01:30.980 Its co-founder and co-chair was Steve Bannon.

00:01:35.940 They did just that.

00:01:38.200 Now, how did they do that?

00:01:40.140 This would have made George Orwell cringe.

00:01:44.440 And this just happened to be done by the Republicans this time.

00:01:50.080 But it was started really last time with Barack Obama and everybody yawned.

00:01:57.060 It wasn't a problem.

00:01:58.560 I'm telling you, this is a real problem no matter who is doing it.

00:02:02.800 The process is called psychometrics.

00:02:06.200 It involves mapping a Facebook user's personality and then analyzing the things that you look at and the posts that you like.

00:02:14.880 This information was then used to, in the words of the firm's co-founder, to fight a culture war in America.

00:02:23.520 Basically, what they were looking for is, what do you fear?

00:02:28.380 They would then take that fear and manipulate it into anger and action.

00:02:35.740 In the end, over 50 million people were being manipulated by Cambridge Analytica.

00:02:41.140 But maybe the worst part of all of this is it's actually legal.

00:02:46.440 Facebook users agree to this type of research information when you click on the terms of service box after creating an account.

00:02:55.400 When this story broke, Facebook's stock went down 7%.

00:03:01.500 The New York Times wrote multiple damaging articles, and the pile-on has even included a delete Facebook hashtag on social media.

00:03:12.120 Facebook has responded by condemning Cambridge Analytica and revoking their access.

00:03:18.000 It's kind of interesting, given Facebook's track record here, because the Obama campaign did the exact same thing back in 2012, but both Facebook and the media had a much different response to it back then.

00:03:32.340 In fact, an article on June 20th, 2013, in the New York Times, they wrote a praise-filled puff piece on how the Obama campaign harvested Facebook data to manipulate the 2012 election.

00:03:50.480 The only problem is they didn't use the word, quote, manipulate, like they're doing today.

00:03:57.500 Back when Obama was doing this, they called it, quote, technologically advanced formulas for reaching voters, end quote.

00:04:08.160 I think our problem is with propaganda and lies.

00:04:11.800 And the problem is, whether it's on Facebook or the New York Times, we're getting just that.

00:04:20.700 Carol Davidson, the former director of integration and media analytics for Obama for America, called it, quote, sucking out the whole social graph, end quote.

00:04:32.520 Whatever name you want to put on it, Facebook, like the New York Times, apparently didn't see anything wrong with it when it was being done by Obama.

00:04:39.320 According to Davidson, when Facebook found out the Obama campaign was doing this, they were surprised, but, quote, on our side, end quote.

00:04:53.400 Facebook is a private company, and it can do whatever they want.

00:04:57.120 But we're now entering a time where the primary source of information, our information, in this case social media,

00:05:04.380 is being manipulated and used to direct us down a certain path.

00:05:09.920 Democrats did it in 2012.

00:05:12.300 The Republicans did it in 2016.

00:05:15.760 I ask you, are we better off now with this manipulation?

00:05:21.440 People have been blaming all kinds of things for our anger.

00:05:28.580 Are we really, truly responsible for our anger?

00:05:32.320 If we have been played and coaxed and herded into it?

00:05:45.120 It's Tuesday, March 20th.

00:05:47.300 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:05:51.520 Senator Mike Lee joins us now with a couple of things that we need to talk about.

00:05:56.340 First of all, Mike Lee, welcome to the program.

00:05:58.540 Thank you very much, Glenn.

00:06:01.020 It's good to be with you.

00:06:01.840 Good to be with you.

00:06:02.980 First of all, any thoughts on what we were just talking about with Cambridge Analytica?

00:06:09.560 It's fascinating, first of all, that something that can be called,

00:06:13.340 we're just looking for clever ways to access our voters one day,

00:06:17.860 and the next day be turned into something entirely different sounding,

00:06:21.940 something that involves manipulation.

00:06:24.460 I think voters can be made aware of this, and the more they're made aware of it,

00:06:29.640 perhaps the less vulnerable they'll be to it.

00:06:32.500 This is a little bit scary.

00:06:34.320 Did you see the documentary from the BBC Channel 4 in England?

00:06:41.200 Yes, I did.

00:06:42.020 I thought it was fascinating and very well done, disturbing to say the least.

00:06:45.400 Yeah, very disturbing, where they talk about how they have done this around the globe

00:06:50.380 and they have manipulated people and they go out to find their anger

00:06:55.200 and then manipulate that anger or fear into anger and anger into action.

00:07:02.000 But they also talk about going in, it sounded to me, you're an attorney,

00:07:07.980 wasn't that entrapment that they were talking about,

00:07:12.480 going out and trapping people into nefarious things?

00:07:20.720 It certainly starts to resemble that.

00:07:23.440 And in any event, it puts people in a position where they're acting on their worst impulses.

00:07:28.400 It puts people in a position where they're trying to catch them at their worst moments.

00:07:34.440 And that rarely brings out the best elements of society

00:07:37.120 when our entire political system turns on a desire to harm others.

00:07:41.840 So, Mike, we have been exploring the Bill of Rights and the Constitution

00:07:47.680 on our broadcast for the last few weeks,

00:07:51.520 and I'm convinced that almost all of our problems are caused

00:07:55.180 because we, over time, have said we've got to do something

00:07:59.620 and that something always seems to come back to let's violate the Bill of Rights,

00:08:06.240 let's violate the Constitution one way or another.

00:08:10.160 And I know you are, you know, sharing a strange bed with Bernie Sanders now

00:08:16.420 to stand up against something that Barack Obama started

00:08:20.660 and we're now continuing without any kind of congressional oversight,

00:08:25.700 and that is a war in Yemen.

00:08:29.720 Yes, that's exactly right.

00:08:32.080 And to be clear, you're talking about a metaphorical bed there

00:08:35.640 and not a literal one.

00:08:37.220 I guess we have to hashtag me too.

00:08:41.660 You can't be too safe.

00:08:42.700 You can't be too safe these days.

00:08:44.700 But I'm glad you draw the comparison between violations of the Bill of Rights on the one hand

00:08:49.240 and violations of the structural Constitution on the other hand.

00:08:53.040 The two go hand in hand.

00:08:54.640 They are always accompanied by one another.

00:08:59.620 And in this case, what we have is a violation of the structural protection of the Constitution

00:09:03.960 we call separation of powers, where we have one branch of government

00:09:07.880 that is supposed to declare war.

00:09:09.760 If war is going to be declared in our country, by our country, it has to be by Congress.

00:09:15.040 Why?

00:09:15.640 Well, it's because the Constitution says so, and it says so because Congress is the branch

00:09:19.920 of government most accountable to the people at the most regular intervals.

00:09:23.320 So if we're going to put American blood and treasure on the line,

00:09:26.260 it can be only through the people's elected representatives in Congress.

00:09:30.600 We've drifted from that in recent decades,

00:09:32.720 and we've allowed presidents' executive branches to take us into a theater of war

00:09:38.340 and have us be involved there for years, sometimes decades at a time,

00:09:42.520 without Congress declaring it.

00:09:43.920 So that's a problem.

00:09:45.000 So hang on just a second.

00:09:45.880 I want to understand a couple of things.

00:09:47.160 First of all, the president can say we're going in for an action,

00:09:51.600 but he has, what, 30 or 90 days,

00:09:55.320 and Congress has to review it in that time period and say,

00:09:58.620 we're either going to fund this or not.

00:09:59.900 Is that right?

00:10:00.480 Essentially, yes.

00:10:02.960 Now, still, in order to undertake war,

00:10:06.100 that does require an action by Congress.

00:10:08.000 The president can repel invasions where that occurs,

00:10:11.440 or if it's not an invasion in the United States,

00:10:13.760 the president can involve us in hostilities.

00:10:15.900 If there is an imminent threat to the United States,

00:10:20.240 he can take such action.

00:10:21.480 But there are strict time limitations on that,

00:10:25.440 and Congress gets to respond.

00:10:28.500 But have we declared war in Afghanistan?

00:10:32.500 Has Congress actually declared war since 2001?

00:10:38.100 In 2001 and in 2002,

00:10:41.300 Congress adopted two separate authorizations for the use of military force,

00:10:46.000 basically the modern-day equivalent of a declaration of war.

00:10:50.360 It's the closest thing we can get to it.

00:10:51.740 But we have not declared war since then.

00:10:54.460 We have not issued an authorization for the use of military force since then.

00:10:57.900 We certainly have not done so with respect to Yemen,

00:11:02.080 where we are now in our third year of acting as co-belligerents

00:11:07.520 in a Saudi-Arabian-led coalition against the Houthi rebels in the Yemeni civil war.

00:11:13.260 So this is really actually very important for people to understand,

00:11:16.900 because this is a proxy war against Iran.

00:11:22.380 And Saudi Arabia has been asking for our support,

00:11:25.820 and we're refueling their jets,

00:11:28.360 we're providing them equipment,

00:11:30.720 and we're actually engaged somewhat at their side.

00:11:35.480 And they are telling us this is really important.

00:11:38.240 If we don't do this,

00:11:40.140 we're going to lose a war to Iran,

00:11:44.800 and Iran will sweep the Middle East.

00:11:48.260 So it's important that we talk about this.

00:11:52.300 Why is this one the tripwire for you that you say,

00:11:56.320 okay, we've got to stop this?

00:11:59.100 Well, because first of all,

00:12:00.920 you use the expression, as so many do,

00:12:03.480 we're going to lose the war in Iran unless we do this.

00:12:07.980 Well, what does that mean?

00:12:08.920 Have we declared war against Iran?

00:12:10.900 No, not last time I checked.

00:12:13.700 But we have not declared war on Iran.

00:12:17.300 And so if you want to make this a proxy war with Iran,

00:12:20.580 let's at least have that debate and that discussion.

00:12:23.720 If somebody thinks that it's time to declare war on Iran,

00:12:27.000 then we can have that discussion.

00:12:28.920 But you can't just use the fact that,

00:12:31.420 well, we don't like a lot of the stuff Iran does,

00:12:34.940 and Iran is perhaps an enemy to the United States in some ways,

00:12:40.660 or at least its government is.

00:12:42.880 That still doesn't justify our involvement

00:12:46.240 in somebody else's civil war in Yemen,

00:12:48.740 especially where Congress has yet to declare war.

00:12:51.200 I saw a Wall Street Journal op-ed

00:12:57.560 that basically said that you were a helper to Iran.

00:13:03.580 I know you, Mike,

00:13:04.880 and I know you were not one that was standing

00:13:08.420 with the Iranian deal that Obama made.

00:13:11.580 You're anything but an Iranian helper.

00:13:14.000 How does that feel to be called that?

00:13:16.620 Yeah, it feels really, really creepy.

00:13:18.920 I mean, look, you've got a despotic regime in Iran

00:13:23.160 with a disgraceful record on human rights,

00:13:27.240 and I have never been called or thought of

00:13:31.200 as an Iranian helper in my entire lifetime.

00:13:35.640 So somebody connected closely

00:13:38.760 to the military-industrial complex

00:13:41.000 has decided that this is what it's come to,

00:13:43.340 that we've got to resort to the politics

00:13:45.140 of personal destruction,

00:13:46.120 and that someone who dares to stand up

00:13:48.400 for the Constitution of the United States

00:13:49.800 and say that the American men and women

00:13:52.700 whose sons and daughters

00:13:54.600 will be sent into this combat field

00:13:58.580 in connection with our involvement

00:14:01.580 in the civil war in Yemen,

00:14:03.620 that they don't deserve

00:14:05.300 to have the people's elected representatives

00:14:07.320 in Congress making this decision,

00:14:09.060 and that for that reason,

00:14:10.360 anyone who calls out on Congress

00:14:12.760 to do that which the Constitution

00:14:14.740 tells Congress to do

00:14:16.680 has to be disparaged

00:14:18.860 as an enemy to the United States.

00:14:21.280 This is disgraceful.

00:14:22.880 And I think the Wall Street Journal

00:14:25.140 should be ashamed of itself.

00:14:27.840 In many instances,

00:14:29.320 it engages in careful, thoughtful analysis.

00:14:32.360 This is a notable, huge exception.

00:14:34.220 It worked in World War I

00:14:36.200 when Woodrow Wilson was shouting down

00:14:38.720 all of the people that got into his way.

00:14:41.320 I'm not saying this is coming from the President.

00:14:43.020 I have a feeling.

00:14:43.760 You won't say this,

00:14:44.540 but I have a feeling.

00:14:46.460 Well, let me just put it this way.

00:14:47.680 I don't trust Mitch McConnell at all.

00:14:49.900 And anybody who stands in Mitch McConnell's way

00:14:52.100 is an enemy of the state, I think.

00:14:55.280 Mike, can you tell me,

00:14:57.560 tell the American people

00:14:58.800 why they should call their senator

00:15:02.760 and tell them,

00:15:05.160 you've got to stand against this?

00:15:08.440 Well, the Senate will be voting today

00:15:10.940 on a resolution that I've put forward

00:15:13.960 with Senator Bernie Sanders from Vermont.

00:15:17.440 Now, Bernie Sanders is a progressive,

00:15:20.880 liberal, independent,

00:15:22.500 who caucuses with the Democrats.

00:15:23.820 And I've never been described that way.

00:15:25.360 I'm a conservative, constitutional...

00:15:28.120 We know who you are.

00:15:29.100 ...and a conservative Republican.

00:15:30.080 Yes.

00:15:30.680 And we have a resolution

00:15:32.460 that calls out the fact

00:15:34.640 that we haven't declared war in Yemen

00:15:37.160 and that there's no authorization

00:15:39.100 for the use of military force

00:15:40.780 in place for our involvement

00:15:42.580 in this Saudi Arabia-led coalition war

00:15:46.760 in Yemen against the Houthi rebels.

00:15:49.000 Call your senators today

00:15:50.000 and tell them to support this resolution

00:15:52.120 and to vote against any motion

00:15:54.300 to table this resolution today.

00:15:56.380 Okay.

00:15:56.460 Mike, keep up the good work.

00:15:58.980 God bless you.

00:15:59.600 Thank you so much.

00:16:01.280 Thank you very much, Glenn.

00:16:02.320 You bet. Bye-bye.

00:16:05.440 Call the senators.

00:16:07.320 The separation of powers

00:16:08.820 is really important.

00:16:11.080 This has been going on.

00:16:12.100 This was authorized by Obama,

00:16:14.100 not Clinton.

00:16:15.520 I mean, sorry, not Trump.

00:16:16.800 This was authorized by Obama

00:16:18.840 and it's got to stop.

00:16:21.040 Now, let me tell you about

00:16:23.460 the 100-day test drive

00:16:25.820 that Casper Mattress

00:16:26.960 has going on right now.

00:16:29.020 Tanya just sent me a picture

00:16:30.840 a couple of days ago.

00:16:32.300 She was, I think, in a Target

00:16:33.420 and she said,

00:16:34.460 there's a Casper Mattress display

00:16:36.400 right in the center of Target.

00:16:38.380 You can go and lay down

00:16:39.680 on the mattress and Target

00:16:41.060 and, you know, flop around on it

00:16:42.440 and go, oh, yeah, this is comfy.

00:16:44.060 You're not really going to know

00:18:07.160 as if it makes you a patriot

00:18:10.320 to disregard the 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th,

00:18:14.840 and 8th amendment of the Constitution.

00:18:19.540 Now is the time

00:18:20.880 that you stand for the Constitution.

00:18:23.780 You stand for the balance of power.

00:18:26.100 I know that Iran is a problem.

00:18:28.080 You know.

00:18:28.660 But most of our problems

00:18:29.740 that we face today

00:18:30.700 are caused by us refusing

00:18:33.060 to abide by our own laws

00:18:35.020 and our own principles

00:18:36.320 because we say,

00:18:37.320 yeah, but.

00:18:38.340 There is no but

00:18:39.440 when it comes to the Constitution.

00:18:42.780 We don't torture.

00:18:45.280 Now, I don't happen to believe

00:18:46.920 that waterboarding is torture

00:18:48.600 because we do it

00:18:49.180 to our own soldiers.

00:18:50.420 But what hypocrites we are

00:18:52.540 when we ghost plane a terrorist

00:18:54.660 to the darkest of cells

00:18:56.560 of a dictator

00:18:57.520 who will do our dirty work

00:18:59.320 so we can continue

00:19:00.980 to tell each other

00:19:01.760 that we don't torture.

00:19:04.260 We either believe in these things

00:19:05.860 or we don't.

00:19:07.420 We are really truly

00:19:08.680 at a crossroads.

00:19:10.340 We either believe

00:19:11.820 in our Constitution

00:19:12.900 or we don't.

00:19:14.040 I do.

00:19:16.880 It's why I support Mike Lee

00:19:18.960 and find myself

00:19:19.920 in an awkward position

00:19:20.900 of also standing

00:19:22.080 with Bernie Sanders.

00:19:24.740 If we want to grant

00:19:26.720 the last president

00:19:28.040 who did this,

00:19:29.820 who started this

00:19:30.880 illegal war in Yemen.

00:19:34.620 Did you even know

00:19:35.600 we were there?

00:19:37.120 That started this illegal war

00:19:38.720 in Yemen.

00:19:40.140 Nobody held his feet

00:19:41.500 to the fire.

00:19:42.120 Now, as it expires

00:19:45.160 and expires

00:19:46.120 and expires,

00:19:47.300 we either believe

00:19:48.980 in the balance of power

00:19:50.320 and we either grant

00:19:53.000 the current

00:19:53.720 and all future presidents

00:19:55.440 new powers

00:19:56.440 to wage war

00:19:57.720 without any check or balance

00:19:59.480 and have the courage

00:20:02.800 to do it

00:20:03.280 by changing the Constitution

00:20:04.760 or we actually abide

00:20:07.280 by the Constitution

00:20:08.520 because we will never fix

00:20:10.400 what really, truly ails us

00:20:12.520 until we begin

00:20:13.860 to live our own rules

00:20:15.940 and stop lying

00:20:17.260 to ourselves.

00:20:19.320 Glenn Beck

00:20:20.780 Mercury

00:20:21.880 You're listening

00:20:33.480 to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:20:34.700 I want to talk about

00:20:36.700 Cambridge Analytica.

00:20:41.340 It is truly frightening

00:20:43.020 what is happening here.

00:20:45.680 Now, so you know,

00:20:47.000 this happened under

00:20:48.040 the Obama administration

00:20:49.880 and the New York Times

00:20:51.480 just kind of looked at it

00:20:52.340 and went,

00:20:52.740 huh, well, it's a new way

00:20:53.680 of reaching voters.

00:20:54.660 No, no, no, no, no, no.

00:20:56.420 No, it's not.

00:20:57.520 This is manipulation

00:20:58.980 of people

00:21:00.840 and our society

00:21:02.060 and this is Steve Bannon stuff

00:21:06.160 and he is trying

00:21:07.740 to, quote,

00:21:08.400 change culture

00:21:09.460 and by changing culture

00:21:12.560 what they mean is

00:21:14.280 they went in

00:21:15.160 and they got all this

00:21:16.080 Facebook data

00:21:17.360 and then they found out

00:21:19.220 exactly what you fear

00:21:20.720 and then they played

00:21:22.760 to those fears.

00:21:25.080 Riaz Patal is joining us now.

00:21:27.760 He is a,

00:21:28.360 I know you hate this,

00:21:29.740 but he was a Hollywood producer.

00:21:32.060 And every time I enter,

00:21:33.980 I could say anything about him

00:21:35.300 and he's like,

00:21:35.780 I'm fine with that.

00:21:36.680 Just Hollywood.

00:21:38.060 Why Hollywood?

00:21:39.220 It is the thing.

00:21:40.080 It is the thing.

00:21:40.720 I don't know.

00:21:41.100 I sort of was like,

00:21:42.120 you're tanned and vapid

00:21:44.260 is what I think of Hollywood.

00:21:46.460 And I am tanned.

00:21:47.280 Yeah.

00:21:47.580 So I'm fighting for you.

00:21:48.580 Well, you're not really tanned

00:21:49.500 as much as you are.

00:21:50.440 I'm year-round tanned.

00:21:51.400 One of them foreigners.

00:21:52.540 It's true.

00:21:53.160 It is true.

00:21:53.700 You're a Pakistani immigrant,

00:21:56.900 a Muslim gay man

00:21:58.940 married with two adopted children.

00:22:01.060 So you check every single box

00:22:02.880 and Hollywood.

00:22:04.280 Every single box.

00:22:05.340 Yeah.

00:22:05.720 I am not trans.

00:22:06.380 If I could just transition,

00:22:07.840 I would have the full set.

00:22:10.060 Everything.

00:22:10.980 Right.

00:22:11.260 So Riaz is a friend of mine.

00:22:13.780 We've been friends now

00:22:14.660 for almost two years.

00:22:15.440 And he has really gone on a search

00:22:20.400 to try to understand.

00:22:22.220 And you are on this amazing journey.

00:22:24.400 You are coming back

00:22:25.920 and reporting on how people

00:22:30.880 on your side,

00:22:32.560 if you can call it your side.

00:22:33.820 I think we do in this tribal time.

00:22:35.480 I think we do say your side,

00:22:36.660 our side.

00:22:36.980 That's what everyone's referring it to.

00:22:38.580 I think kind of,

00:22:39.360 I think you're turning into

00:22:40.480 more of my side,

00:22:41.460 but,

00:22:41.720 but you're,

00:22:44.980 you're coming back this time

00:22:46.540 talking to me about how

00:22:48.700 you said something surprising

00:22:49.960 to me yesterday.

00:22:50.580 I said,

00:22:51.180 you know,

00:22:51.360 I don't think the average Democrat

00:22:52.700 wants to take away

00:22:53.820 everybody's guns.

00:22:55.620 And I disagreed.

00:22:56.800 And I,

00:22:57.380 and I,

00:22:57.660 and that was the fascinating to me

00:22:58.880 that that was your perception

00:22:59.720 because I feel like

00:23:00.600 the anti-gun,

00:23:02.360 grab them all,

00:23:03.580 put them in a box,

00:23:04.440 float them in the ocean

00:23:05.260 is the best plan right now.

00:23:07.720 And what I'm finding

00:23:08.820 so frustrating is that,

00:23:09.760 you know,

00:23:09.900 you and I,

00:23:10.280 we all have children.

00:23:11.060 When they shoot children,

00:23:12.060 they don't decide,

00:23:12.640 ask,

00:23:12.860 are you conservative?

00:23:13.540 Are you liberal?

00:23:14.360 So chances are,

00:23:15.220 we all want this to stop.

00:23:16.800 And to me,

00:23:17.880 to actually engage

00:23:18.560 in the conversation

00:23:19.220 of how as parents

00:23:20.240 we can make the stop

00:23:21.060 without going down

00:23:22.240 the rabbit hole

00:23:22.760 of the second amendment.

00:23:23.740 And it's,

00:23:24.920 it's shocking to me

00:23:26.180 that your perception

00:23:28.000 was that,

00:23:29.020 no,

00:23:29.200 no,

00:23:29.300 that's kind of,

00:23:29.820 you actually said

00:23:30.320 that's un-American.

00:23:31.640 That Democrat,

00:23:32.220 they wouldn't do that.

00:23:32.680 That's un-American.

00:23:33.460 And I'm like,

00:23:33.800 ooh,

00:23:34.680 no,

00:23:34.880 no,

00:23:35.020 no,

00:23:35.140 no,

00:23:35.220 no.

00:23:35.540 They,

00:23:35.800 they,

00:23:36.100 they're exactly,

00:23:37.060 they feel like

00:23:37.720 it's the most American

00:23:38.600 protective thing to do.

00:23:39.900 That's,

00:23:40.560 that is,

00:23:41.200 that is incredible to me.

00:23:42.920 I,

00:23:43.220 you know,

00:23:43.500 I,

00:23:43.700 I'm sometimes a,

00:23:45.000 many times,

00:23:45.800 uh,

00:23:46.860 a,

00:23:47.360 a optimistic catastrophist.

00:23:49.600 Yeah.

00:23:49.820 And I try to hold off

00:23:52.040 on the catastrophe

00:23:52.920 as long as I,

00:23:53.940 I possibly can.

00:23:55.580 Um,

00:23:56.560 I,

00:23:56.800 I just don't understand that.

00:23:57.900 But,

00:23:58.320 um,

00:23:58.800 we were talking about

00:23:59.940 this Facebook thing.

00:24:01.040 Yeah.

00:24:01.880 And in,

00:24:02.760 in,

00:24:02.840 in context with you,

00:24:04.200 we're trying,

00:24:05.860 you're trying to help me

00:24:07.040 and I'm trying to help you

00:24:08.280 understand each side.

00:24:11.060 Yeah.

00:24:11.340 Uh,

00:24:11.620 because we have different languages

00:24:13.320 and we have to start talking

00:24:15.940 to each other,

00:24:16.540 but not necessarily

00:24:17.840 to the politicians.

00:24:19.260 I mean,

00:24:20.200 to the average person.

00:24:21.620 I agree a hundred percent.

00:24:22.620 And so what I did

00:24:23.260 as I put on Facebook

00:24:24.060 to,

00:24:24.460 to your,

00:24:24.900 to fans of yours saying,

00:24:26.060 are you having this

00:24:27.240 in your natural life?

00:24:28.180 Has your family

00:24:29.020 or friendships rifted?

00:24:30.000 And someone reached out to me

00:24:30.940 from,

00:24:31.280 from Virginia and said,

00:24:32.200 this is affecting our friendships.

00:24:34.000 Like I have an old friend,

00:24:35.100 20 years,

00:24:35.600 we parent together,

00:24:36.260 our kids are the same age.

00:24:37.480 We don't ever talk about this.

00:24:39.000 And you could feel

00:24:39.920 when the conversation came up

00:24:41.100 in the room

00:24:41.440 that it got uncomfortable.

00:24:43.380 What's interesting is

00:24:44.100 when we talked,

00:24:45.020 they both realized

00:24:46.220 there's a clip to play

00:24:46.960 that they had the exact

00:24:48.160 same experience.

00:24:50.160 Well,

00:24:50.600 I'll tell you,

00:24:50.820 they had the exact

00:24:51.520 same experience

00:24:52.380 being in the voting booth

00:24:53.720 is that the Muslim progressive

00:24:55.320 stood there and paused

00:24:56.760 and said,

00:24:57.440 I don't know if Hillary Clinton

00:24:58.420 is what I want.

00:24:59.180 And the conservative said,

00:25:00.600 that was my experience.

00:25:01.780 I was also in the booth

00:25:02.720 and said,

00:25:03.060 all I have is Donald Trump

00:25:04.040 is an option.

00:25:04.720 And they had never,

00:25:05.860 ever realized

00:25:06.380 until that conversation,

00:25:07.300 which was a year

00:25:07.880 after the election,

00:25:09.000 that they both felt

00:25:09.700 the same way,

00:25:10.440 but they tribally

00:25:11.140 gone to their sides,

00:25:12.320 defended it vehemently

00:25:13.480 and do not talk about it.

00:25:15.200 So to me,

00:25:15.740 the biggest fear

00:25:16.620 I have right now

00:25:17.360 is when I go from Texas

00:25:18.400 to D.C. or to L.A.,

00:25:19.920 I'm jumping into

00:25:20.780 a completely different

00:25:21.600 information stream.

00:25:23.520 It is a shocking amount

00:25:25.220 of difference

00:25:26.260 when I land

00:25:27.180 from Dallas to D.C.

00:25:29.360 And I get to go back

00:25:30.780 between these worlds

00:25:31.520 and I'm constantly

00:25:32.920 telling people,

00:25:33.540 but this is a news story

00:25:34.740 in Texas.

00:25:35.480 This isn't a news story

00:25:36.820 because the flow

00:25:37.720 of information

00:25:38.180 is so separate.

00:25:39.340 And if you don't have

00:25:39.820 people talking and say,

00:25:40.720 hey, did you hear that story?

00:25:42.060 Then what do you do?

00:25:42.700 Well, when we first met,

00:25:43.600 I think I put down

00:25:45.280 on a chalkboard

00:25:45.980 like 10 different stories

00:25:47.320 that were big

00:25:48.860 to conservatives.

00:25:50.300 You had never heard

00:25:51.380 any of them.

00:25:51.860 It was Inauguration Day

00:25:52.820 and when Obama,

00:25:53.860 which I think is probably

00:25:54.880 the most graceless thing

00:25:56.280 to ever do,

00:25:57.040 to exit and say,

00:25:57.760 I had no scandals.

00:25:59.380 And then you guys

00:26:00.360 listed 10.

00:26:01.360 And I knew none of them

00:26:03.020 because I,

00:26:04.120 as his devoted audience,

00:26:05.580 was never allowed

00:26:06.220 to see any of them.

00:26:07.240 I mean,

00:26:07.840 I'm a pretty well-read guy.

00:26:09.480 Yeah.

00:26:09.660 And I sat there embarrassed.

00:26:11.680 I watched the footage.

00:26:12.820 I did not know

00:26:13.500 and didn't even know them.

00:26:15.440 That is shocking to me.

00:26:16.620 And that is to me

00:26:17.240 why we're doing this project

00:26:18.240 and we're going to do it

00:26:18.860 again and again

00:26:19.360 of these friends,

00:26:20.560 groups,

00:26:20.900 communities that have

00:26:21.500 stopped talking

00:26:22.100 and said,

00:26:22.420 okay,

00:26:22.860 first connect.

00:26:23.760 You've been friends.

00:26:24.420 You have a personal relationship.

00:26:25.480 Who you are

00:26:26.060 is so vast

00:26:27.520 compared to who you voted for.

00:26:29.340 So let's remember that stuff

00:26:30.660 and then let's actually

00:26:31.360 have the conversations.

00:26:32.540 So you were in Hollywood

00:26:34.240 and you know,

00:26:36.860 you're a storyteller.

00:26:37.920 Like I'm a storyteller.

00:26:38.700 And what is truly frightening

00:26:40.800 to me is

00:26:41.800 this truly now

00:26:44.200 is propaganda.

00:26:45.500 We have crossed

00:26:46.920 into new territory

00:26:49.020 from fake news

00:26:50.680 to propaganda

00:26:52.260 to where

00:26:53.380 we are

00:26:54.620 we're

00:26:55.600 we're intentionally

00:26:57.060 being manipulated

00:26:58.580 and

00:27:00.400 and we're being

00:27:02.380 we're being categorized

00:27:04.620 and then pitted

00:27:05.660 against each other

00:27:06.440 in a scientific way.

00:27:08.000 In a scientific

00:27:08.520 and also in a storytelling

00:27:09.900 in old Hollywood 101.

00:27:11.600 You know,

00:27:11.720 the graphics package

00:27:12.600 of the debates

00:27:13.620 is like the graphics package

00:27:14.720 of a Tyson fight.

00:27:15.960 You have 24 hours

00:27:16.980 of cable news

00:27:17.620 that need to be programmed.

00:27:18.860 I'm a producer.

00:27:19.940 How do you program?

00:27:20.700 How do you get someone

00:27:21.480 to watch CNN

00:27:22.580 at 4 p.m.

00:27:23.500 as opposed to HGTV?

00:27:24.760 You have to get them

00:27:25.840 excited,

00:27:26.420 interested,

00:27:26.720 and feel like it's devastating.

00:27:27.920 So that need

00:27:28.800 to create the conflict,

00:27:30.020 to get the viewer

00:27:30.540 to change channels

00:27:31.400 is now constant.

00:27:32.900 It's the new norm.

00:27:34.060 And so the hysteria happens.

00:27:35.580 You have to find

00:27:36.140 new theories,

00:27:36.840 new credit.

00:27:38.300 We've jumped the shark

00:27:39.980 and then now the shark

00:27:40.940 is even looking at us

00:27:41.740 and saying,

00:27:42.080 what the hell are you doing?

00:27:43.460 The shark is like,

00:27:44.460 this is beyond me.

00:27:45.360 So let me ask you this.

00:27:47.100 Facebook

00:27:47.500 engagement

00:27:49.520 has gone down

00:27:50.360 23%

00:27:51.980 in the last quarter.

00:27:53.860 That's significant.

00:27:55.420 That's significant.

00:27:56.600 You look at the cable news ratings.

00:27:58.460 You look at all television ratings.

00:27:59.780 I mean,

00:28:00.240 you've seen them.

00:28:01.600 They're remarkable

00:28:03.960 that they are this low

00:28:06.040 and most people in America

00:28:08.040 are not reading a story

00:28:09.320 about how low they are.

00:28:11.040 They just keep going

00:28:12.400 lower and lower and lower.

00:28:14.660 And I don't mean,

00:28:16.320 I mean in what's called

00:28:17.820 the amount of people

00:28:20.660 even tuning in,

00:28:21.920 not sticking around to watch it,

00:28:23.580 just tuning in.

00:28:24.760 We're not tuning in anymore.

00:28:26.820 Except where we're looking

00:28:27.760 at our phones all the time.

00:28:30.320 So the tuning into long form,

00:28:32.840 tuning into half hour,

00:28:33.840 tuning into the nightly news,

00:28:35.380 tuning into NBC, ABC

00:28:36.720 in the evening is not happening.

00:28:38.080 But the four, three,

00:28:39.160 two minutes,

00:28:39.640 20 seconds from Twitter

00:28:40.780 that is constantly going

00:28:41.980 into our bloodstream

00:28:42.820 is a constant diet

00:28:44.280 of where we get our information.

00:28:45.620 That's good

00:28:45.860 because what America needs

00:28:46.800 is less perspective.

00:28:47.940 I think what we're dying for

00:28:49.380 is more soundbites,

00:28:50.540 shorter amounts of information.

00:28:51.980 More talking heads,

00:28:52.900 I feel like we need.

00:28:53.660 We need more people

00:28:55.000 just talking

00:28:55.900 and giving their opinions.

00:28:56.940 But I think the key

00:28:58.180 in this project with us

00:28:59.660 every time I come here

00:29:00.660 is I talk

00:29:01.820 and then I stop

00:29:02.960 and I listen

00:29:03.720 and I always,

00:29:05.280 always learn.

00:29:06.520 I've always learned.

00:29:07.360 What have you learned

00:29:08.020 since you were here last

00:29:09.080 about conservatives?

00:29:11.040 I have learned

00:29:11.960 that I think

00:29:12.720 there is a great,

00:29:14.080 again,

00:29:14.540 generally speaking,

00:29:15.300 I feel like conservatives

00:29:16.600 love generally

00:29:18.720 being part of a group.

00:29:20.060 They are proud

00:29:20.440 to be Americans.

00:29:21.260 They are proud

00:29:21.620 to be patriots.

00:29:22.380 They're proud to be

00:29:22.960 with their neighbors.

00:29:24.120 I find a lot

00:29:24.920 of liberal progressives

00:29:25.820 want to be very much

00:29:27.540 in their individualized,

00:29:28.780 individualized label

00:29:29.680 with their agenda

00:29:30.480 and their needs.

00:29:31.540 And I'm finding that

00:29:32.380 in engaging conversations,

00:29:34.200 and this is my experience

00:29:34.940 coming as a liberal,

00:29:35.720 I'm finding conservatives

00:29:36.860 much more open

00:29:38.240 to the conversation.

00:29:39.460 Maybe it's because

00:29:39.880 they're presidents

00:29:40.400 of the White House,

00:29:41.100 but they're so much more open.

00:29:42.380 Isn't it interesting

00:29:43.220 that your perception is,

00:29:46.120 and I think you're right,

00:29:47.420 that conservatives

00:29:49.620 like to be part of a group.

00:29:51.260 They like to be a part

00:29:52.080 of the bigger group

00:29:52.800 like America,

00:29:53.620 et cetera, et cetera.

00:29:55.360 And progressives

00:29:56.480 do see themselves

00:29:57.660 as my issue is this,

00:30:00.180 and I want to focus on this,

00:30:02.060 which is very individualistic,

00:30:04.680 except the constitution

00:30:09.040 which protects that individual

00:30:12.180 is celebrated by the right.

00:30:15.260 And the left thinks

00:30:15.920 it's a living,

00:30:16.560 breathing document

00:30:17.300 that can be adjusted,

00:30:18.340 changed all the time.

00:30:19.260 The progressive way

00:30:21.060 is collective thought.

00:30:22.940 How do you square that?

00:30:24.360 I don't,

00:30:25.400 because I actually,

00:30:26.060 I call them on these hypocrisies.

00:30:27.720 We have conversations

00:30:28.560 where we had a conversation

00:30:29.640 about abortion.

00:30:30.460 I mean, that's a tricky one.

00:30:31.620 And at some point I said,

00:30:32.520 look, we're liberals,

00:30:33.660 we're progressives,

00:30:34.220 I'm pro-choice

00:30:34.860 because I believe

00:30:35.580 it's the woman's right,

00:30:36.700 it's not my body.

00:30:37.460 That is my thought.

00:30:39.660 But I said, look,

00:30:40.340 we don't know

00:30:40.960 when life actually begins.

00:30:42.300 I studied science.

00:30:43.420 If we're talking

00:30:44.040 about a gray area,

00:30:45.460 what we are doing

00:30:46.120 is progressive,

00:30:46.700 saying we protect

00:30:47.300 the individual,

00:30:47.860 we protect the weak,

00:30:48.520 we protect the innocent,

00:30:49.460 we protect the helpless.

00:30:51.180 Well, this is an example

00:30:52.660 where we're saying

00:30:53.140 we don't really know

00:30:53.720 where life begins,

00:30:54.540 but we're not going

00:30:55.460 to protect you,

00:30:56.140 we're going to protect the mother.

00:30:57.260 Fine, that is a viewpoint.

00:30:58.400 Can you not notice

00:30:59.040 the hypocrisy of it?

00:31:00.340 And they get very uncomfortable.

00:31:02.100 So to me,

00:31:02.560 what I do,

00:31:03.380 what I do well.

00:31:05.720 See, but that's,

00:31:06.760 to me,

00:31:07.240 do you have a problem with that?

00:31:08.320 It's great to investigate that, right?

00:31:10.080 You have to push

00:31:11.160 in those directions.

00:31:12.140 I have no problem

00:31:13.200 with people who will admit,

00:31:15.320 look, for instance,

00:31:17.600 I am pro-life,

00:31:19.320 however,

00:31:20.660 cases of rape and incest,

00:31:22.240 I am so conflicted on that.

00:31:24.040 I know that I am a hypocrite

00:31:25.840 on that particular thing.

00:31:27.680 I just can't get my arms around it.

00:31:29.860 Yeah.

00:31:30.260 And I think there's

00:31:31.540 something to celebrate

00:31:33.240 on somebody saying,

00:31:34.980 look,

00:31:35.160 I am conflicted on this.

00:31:36.980 I see my own hypocrisy.

00:31:39.760 In a tribal black and white world,

00:31:41.540 which is where we are,

00:31:42.560 gray will be

00:31:44.400 where the solutions are.

00:31:45.980 Gray will be

00:31:46.540 where people actually meet

00:31:47.540 and engage

00:31:48.120 and find out

00:31:48.720 what the laws should be

00:31:49.660 and decide what the laws should be.

00:31:51.360 I feel like gray pride

00:31:52.940 is what I'm always sort of like,

00:31:54.320 it's an important thing to say.

00:31:56.920 I'm not just a progressive liberal

00:31:58.620 and I'm carrying that banner.

00:32:00.020 I'm not just a Christian conservative.

00:32:01.960 That our views,

00:32:02.700 I live next to you.

00:32:03.840 You know,

00:32:03.980 we have to figure out

00:32:04.740 the school shootings

00:32:05.340 are affecting every single one.

00:32:06.740 If that's not something

00:32:07.620 we can get over our own ego

00:32:08.920 and the need to be right

00:32:09.940 to say,

00:32:10.540 okay,

00:32:10.600 we protect these children,

00:32:11.480 then I don't know

00:32:12.500 what cause is more important.

00:32:14.540 I don't think you can be

00:32:15.080 an American in good standing

00:32:16.180 if you don't have

00:32:16.760 absolute certitude

00:32:17.680 on every issue.

00:32:18.800 That's my decision.

00:32:20.240 Because you're a traitor.

00:32:21.460 But you're a traitor to me

00:32:22.140 or somebody else.

00:32:22.820 Aren't you a Canadian though?

00:32:23.360 Oh yeah.

00:32:23.820 I mean,

00:32:24.100 if we're really honest here,

00:32:25.360 aren't you a Canadian?

00:32:26.040 I'm a Canadian sports celebrity,

00:32:27.760 but I'm actually,

00:32:28.680 I was actually born

00:32:29.240 in the United States.

00:32:29.920 I didn't know that you were just,

00:32:31.980 it was just a celebrity bubble there.

00:32:33.360 Just a sports celebrity.

00:32:33.840 Yeah, that's it.

00:32:34.440 Real quick, Ria,

00:32:35.420 because I've got to wrap this up.

00:32:36.480 I've got about a minute.

00:32:38.020 Talk about the thing

00:32:39.020 that you learned

00:32:40.140 in the conversation

00:32:41.040 and we played the clip

00:32:42.440 last night on TV

00:32:43.880 of you made an observation

00:32:46.640 about taking a knee

00:32:48.880 at the NFL

00:32:49.540 to somebody who was

00:32:50.820 very progressive

00:32:52.540 and was like,

00:32:53.040 they have a right to do that

00:32:54.060 and didn't understand

00:32:55.220 the conservative point of view.

00:32:56.560 Yeah, it was so simple.

00:32:58.200 It was words are to liberals

00:32:59.960 like symbols are to conservatives.

00:33:01.940 That if you want to know

00:33:02.980 how a conservative feels

00:33:04.080 about the office of president

00:33:05.080 or the flag,

00:33:05.940 it's exactly how you feel

00:33:07.240 about labels and symbols.

00:33:08.700 They upset you.

00:33:09.340 They hurt you deeply.

00:33:10.520 His words,

00:33:11.120 his labels,

00:33:11.720 racist statements.

00:33:12.960 Words anger liberals.

00:33:14.360 They hurt us

00:33:15.000 in a similar way.

00:33:16.600 Symbols are hugely

00:33:17.460 important to conservatives.

00:33:19.540 So if you want to know

00:33:20.260 how can they be so riled up

00:33:21.620 about the flag,

00:33:22.460 well, why do you get so riled up

00:33:23.480 about every single tweet

00:33:24.800 every single day?

00:33:25.820 It riles you up.

00:33:27.280 Words rile you up.

00:33:29.080 Symbols rile them up.

00:33:30.680 You want to know

00:33:31.040 how the other side does?

00:33:31.740 It's analogous.

00:33:33.360 And that's why

00:33:34.160 the more I travel,

00:33:35.280 the more the similarities

00:33:36.280 just make me laugh.

00:33:37.720 If I got on a plane

00:33:38.380 and I'm like,

00:33:38.820 God, if I could get

00:33:39.580 the people in Alaska

00:33:40.780 to sit in a room

00:33:41.340 with the people in L.A.,

00:33:42.260 to sit in a room

00:33:42.600 with the people

00:33:42.900 in Saudi Arabia,

00:33:44.500 they'd be shocked

00:33:45.800 at how simple

00:33:47.120 the conversation would flow.

00:33:48.620 It was what we learned

00:33:50.380 after the wall came down

00:33:51.920 in 1991.

00:33:55.000 When that wall came down

00:33:56.300 and we met the people

00:33:57.680 who were living

00:33:58.140 on the other side

00:33:58.780 that we said

00:33:59.720 were our enemies,

00:34:01.340 all of a sudden

00:34:01.680 we realized

00:34:02.180 who they were exactly like.

00:34:03.600 You and me.

00:34:04.380 Yeah.

00:34:04.840 Riaz, thank you so much.

00:34:05.780 We'll talk to you again tomorrow.

00:34:07.020 You're here for a special project

00:34:08.200 we'll talk about

00:34:08.700 a little bit later.

00:34:09.400 Thank you so much.

00:34:10.040 Lovely to see you guys.

00:34:10.820 Good to see you.

00:34:12.480 I don't know.

00:34:12.840 It was lovely.

00:34:14.480 All right.

00:34:16.740 I want to tell you about

00:34:17.460 SimpliSafe,

00:34:18.800 home security,

00:34:20.180 SimpliSafe.

00:34:21.720 Man,

00:34:22.240 I just love this company

00:34:24.560 and I love their attitude.

00:34:27.240 One of the people

00:34:33.000 that works there

00:34:33.900 said to me yesterday,

00:34:36.500 you know,

00:34:37.780 when I was 20,

00:34:39.120 I was a flaming Marxist

00:34:41.140 and now I just see

00:34:44.040 that this is the way,

00:34:46.260 this is a company

00:34:46.980 that is doing something

00:34:47.880 that's doing something

00:34:48.480 that is protecting people,

00:34:51.180 making people's lives

00:34:52.140 easier and better.

00:34:53.780 This capitalism thing

00:34:54.980 is great.

00:34:55.500 Yes,

00:34:56.340 yes it is.

00:34:57.960 It is really,

00:34:59.020 it's really remarkable

00:35:00.560 to see when somebody

00:35:02.420 pursues their passion,

00:35:04.860 really pursues their passion,

00:35:06.700 how great capitalism is

00:35:10.080 as a tool

00:35:10.820 because all they're doing

00:35:12.760 is thinking,

00:36:29.560 Another bomb in Austin.

00:36:31.000 We'll tell you about that

00:36:32.160 coming up in just a second.

00:36:33.600 Also a way for you

00:36:34.460 to actually make a difference

00:36:36.000 coming up.

00:36:37.540 The Rockland High School

00:36:39.100 history teacher

00:36:39.960 that was put on leave

00:36:41.360 for questioning

00:36:42.160 the walkouts

00:36:43.140 in California.

00:36:43.980 She's going to be

00:36:45.720 back with us today.

00:36:46.920 We have an update

00:36:47.660 from her.

00:36:50.640 The

00:36:50.920 Facebook has

00:36:53.460 plunged yesterday.

00:36:55.480 They tumbled 7%

00:36:57.200 in the stock market.

00:36:59.520 I, Stu,

00:37:00.500 I think we're

00:37:01.380 starting to see

00:37:02.620 you know,

00:37:03.980 what possibly could be

00:37:05.480 a soft spot

00:37:06.620 for Facebook

00:37:07.640 that could take them down.

00:37:09.820 They're taking it

00:37:10.580 very seriously.

00:37:11.280 That's for sure.

00:37:11.840 Yeah.

00:37:11.980 Emergency meeting today

00:37:12.960 about it.

00:37:13.600 Yeah.

00:37:13.980 They should.

00:37:15.060 They should.

00:37:15.800 They've got a real issue.

00:37:17.980 Back in just a second.

00:37:24.060 Glenn Beck Mercury.

00:37:32.040 Love.

00:37:33.280 Courage.

00:37:34.960 Truth.

00:37:36.700 Glenn Beck.

00:37:38.280 Serial bomber

00:37:38.920 is menacing

00:37:39.880 Austin, Texas.

00:37:41.420 And we

00:37:41.900 we may be

00:37:43.040 entering a new phase.

00:37:44.400 It looks like he's

00:37:45.060 expanding his range

00:37:46.580 overnight.

00:37:47.300 Another bomb

00:37:48.000 exploded inside

00:37:49.100 a FedEx facility

00:37:50.300 near San Antonio.

00:37:51.980 The FBI

00:37:52.420 suspects it

00:37:53.380 might be linked

00:37:54.360 to the previous

00:37:55.240 four,

00:37:55.760 but no inquiries

00:37:56.940 have been reported

00:37:57.920 in the

00:37:58.920 FedEx

00:38:00.120 explosion.

00:38:01.660 Sunday night,

00:38:02.560 the fourth bomb

00:38:03.340 in less than three weeks

00:38:04.260 exploded in a

00:38:05.120 residential area

00:38:06.000 southwest of

00:38:07.100 downtown Austin.

00:38:08.120 and the previous

00:38:09.020 three bombs

00:38:09.640 were all disguised

00:38:10.780 as packages

00:38:11.500 delivered to

00:38:12.240 specific houses.

00:38:13.340 But this time,

00:38:14.640 the bomb was

00:38:15.280 attached to a

00:38:15.980 for sale sign

00:38:16.960 and rigged

00:38:17.600 with a tripwire.

00:38:19.140 Two men

00:38:19.960 just walking

00:38:20.600 through the

00:38:20.960 neighborhood

00:38:21.240 apparently

00:38:21.720 struck the

00:38:22.520 tip tripwire

00:38:23.480 and were

00:38:24.300 seriously injured

00:38:25.360 in the blast.

00:38:26.800 Police say

00:38:27.160 they see

00:38:27.600 similarities

00:38:28.160 in the

00:38:28.660 bombs

00:38:29.000 that make

00:38:29.780 them believe

00:38:30.380 that the

00:38:30.780 same killer

00:38:31.300 is responsible,

00:38:32.320 but something's

00:38:33.600 not right.

00:38:34.280 The tripwire

00:38:34.880 bomb reveals

00:38:35.800 a higher level

00:38:36.540 of sophistication

00:38:37.400 and skill,

00:38:38.240 so investigators

00:38:39.080 now believe

00:38:39.800 the bomb maker

00:38:40.560 may have

00:38:41.240 military or

00:38:42.260 police explosive

00:38:43.340 ordinance training.

00:38:44.880 Perfect.

00:38:45.980 Investigators

00:38:46.620 are also stumped

00:38:47.860 because a

00:38:48.680 serial bomber

00:38:49.320 typically makes

00:38:50.280 the device

00:38:50.760 the same way

00:38:51.580 every time,

00:38:52.320 but that's not

00:38:52.720 happening in this

00:38:53.400 case.

00:38:53.720 They're also

00:38:55.140 surprised that

00:38:55.860 there haven't

00:38:56.200 been any

00:38:56.600 demands or

00:38:57.240 indication of

00:38:58.020 a motive

00:38:58.440 from the

00:38:58.840 perpetrator.

00:39:00.160 Police now

00:39:00.940 are urging

00:39:01.600 the killer

00:39:02.080 to communicate

00:39:02.820 with them

00:39:03.520 and have

00:39:04.140 raised the

00:39:04.600 reward to

00:39:05.120 $115,000

00:39:06.420 for information

00:39:07.280 leading to

00:39:07.900 an arrest.

00:39:09.140 Oddly,

00:39:09.800 the fourth

00:39:10.360 bomb actually

00:39:11.180 helps investigators

00:39:12.280 because of the

00:39:13.040 increasing amount

00:39:13.680 of trace evidence

00:39:14.760 left after the

00:39:15.920 explosion.

00:39:16.620 Surveillance

00:39:17.100 videos expected

00:39:18.000 to help crack

00:39:19.060 the case as

00:39:19.720 well on this

00:39:20.220 one since the

00:39:20.720 bomber is

00:39:21.180 personally

00:39:22.020 delivering and

00:39:23.200 setting up

00:39:23.760 the devices.

00:39:25.480 When the

00:39:25.720 second and

00:39:26.180 third bombs

00:39:26.740 exploded last

00:39:27.620 week,

00:39:28.300 several outlets

00:39:29.040 including CNN

00:39:29.840 and the

00:39:30.120 Washington Post

00:39:30.620 seemed eager

00:39:31.220 to pounce on

00:39:31.860 the idea

00:39:32.380 that this was

00:39:33.180 a hate crime

00:39:33.940 since two

00:39:34.740 black men

00:39:35.420 were killed

00:39:36.020 and an

00:39:36.640 elderly Hispanic

00:39:37.660 woman seriously

00:39:38.620 injured.

00:39:39.380 The Post even

00:39:40.220 questioned whether

00:39:40.980 there would be

00:39:41.580 more urgency

00:39:42.320 to find the

00:39:43.040 killer had the

00:39:43.620 initial bomb

00:39:44.280 gone off in

00:39:45.240 an affluent

00:39:45.880 white neighborhood.

00:39:47.720 But Sunday's

00:39:48.460 explosion largely

00:39:49.420 sinks the

00:39:50.260 hate crime

00:39:50.820 theory since it

00:39:51.680 was rigged to

00:39:52.280 kill anyone

00:39:53.040 who just

00:39:53.440 happened by.

00:39:54.940 For the

00:39:55.220 record, the

00:39:55.680 two men

00:39:56.220 that were

00:39:57.460 injured by

00:39:57.940 Sunday's

00:39:58.400 bomb were

00:39:59.260 both white.

00:40:01.020 When you are

00:40:01.620 dealing with a

00:40:02.580 serial killer

00:40:03.420 like this,

00:40:05.400 does the

00:40:05.840 idea that it

00:40:06.840 might be

00:40:07.380 racially motivated

00:40:08.480 make it any

00:40:09.320 more or less

00:40:10.740 evil?

00:40:11.720 It's just

00:40:12.440 evil, period.

00:40:14.300 Isn't every

00:40:15.360 murder essentially

00:40:16.660 a hate crime?

00:40:17.900 We have been

00:40:29.100 kind of focusing

00:40:29.860 on a few

00:40:30.280 things in the

00:40:30.820 last couple

00:40:31.200 of weeks.

00:40:31.640 One is if

00:40:34.220 Christians would

00:40:35.600 just act like

00:40:37.920 Christians, the

00:40:39.020 world would be a

00:40:39.600 much better place

00:40:40.540 if, you know, I

00:40:41.820 love the bumper

00:40:42.820 sticker that says

00:40:43.700 Lord save me from

00:40:44.660 your followers.

00:40:47.420 The problem is

00:40:48.480 not with Jesus.

00:40:49.580 The problem is

00:40:50.180 with a lot of

00:40:50.640 people who say

00:40:51.360 they're following

00:40:51.940 Jesus, but

00:40:52.760 they're not.

00:40:53.620 And statistics

00:40:54.300 prove this out.

00:40:55.780 There is no

00:40:56.440 difference between

00:40:57.420 somebody who

00:40:58.280 doesn't go to

00:40:59.000 church, doesn't

00:40:59.820 believe in God

00:41:00.580 when it comes to

00:41:02.420 marriages,

00:41:03.660 alcoholism, drug

00:41:04.980 use, any of

00:41:07.280 this stuff.

00:41:07.820 that should

00:41:09.000 tell us

00:41:09.540 something, that

00:41:10.660 we're attending

00:41:11.660 church instead

00:41:13.000 of tending a

00:41:15.000 church.

00:41:16.160 And we brought

00:41:17.100 in Nathan, how

00:41:19.040 do you say

00:41:19.400 your last name?

00:41:20.540 William.

00:41:21.020 William.

00:41:21.880 And Ron

00:41:22.620 Stoddart.

00:41:24.100 Ron is with

00:41:25.540 Save Adoptions

00:41:26.480 and Nathan is

00:41:27.800 the CEO of

00:41:28.640 Adoption.com.

00:41:30.700 And first, tell me

00:41:31.840 a little bit about

00:41:32.340 Adoptions.com before

00:41:33.340 you tell me why

00:41:35.040 you're here.

00:41:36.020 Sure.

00:41:36.340 So Adoption.com

00:41:37.260 is the connection

00:41:38.400 engine for

00:41:39.300 adoption.

00:41:39.880 So if a family

00:41:41.140 wants to adopt,

00:41:42.060 they can put a

00:41:42.560 profile online and

00:41:43.700 a woman who's

00:41:44.260 pregnant and

00:41:44.740 considering adoption

00:41:45.520 can go and

00:41:46.460 choose a family.

00:41:47.360 Or we have

00:41:48.400 photo listings of

00:41:49.980 children waiting to

00:41:50.720 be adopted and

00:41:51.560 families can go

00:41:52.380 look through

00:41:53.060 thousands of

00:41:53.680 photos of

00:41:54.100 children and

00:41:54.720 choose a child

00:41:55.400 to adopt.

00:41:56.080 Or if an

00:41:57.020 adoptee and a

00:41:58.600 birth parent 20

00:41:59.780 years after the

00:42:00.380 adoption want to

00:42:01.080 find each other,

00:42:01.780 they can put their

00:42:02.420 information in and

00:42:03.320 we help facilitate

00:42:04.560 a connection.

00:42:05.300 So we connect

00:42:06.260 people related to

00:42:07.220 adoption.

00:42:07.560 I have to tell

00:42:07.940 you, I'm an

00:42:08.320 adoptive father and

00:42:09.580 there is nothing

00:42:10.500 better in my life

00:42:11.700 than that choice

00:42:14.000 to adopt.

00:42:15.100 My children are

00:42:15.900 everything.

00:42:16.820 And, you know,

00:42:17.600 we were afraid,

00:42:18.440 you know, is

00:42:18.920 are we going to

00:42:19.460 feel the same?

00:42:20.600 Yeah, it's

00:42:21.400 exactly the same.

00:42:23.380 And it is a

00:42:24.480 marvelous thing.

00:42:25.280 If I tell you,

00:42:27.200 if my wife, if I

00:42:28.460 could just, if I

00:42:29.300 could dye my hair so

00:42:30.480 I didn't look like I

00:42:31.580 look, because my

00:42:32.500 wife, I'll say we

00:42:33.240 should adopt again.

00:42:34.140 And she'll look at

00:42:34.620 me and she'll look at

00:42:35.460 you like we're

00:42:36.520 going to adopt

00:42:37.260 again.

00:42:39.220 It's a healthy

00:42:40.640 relationship.

00:42:42.400 It's a little harsh.

00:42:44.020 Anyway, here's the

00:42:45.680 problem.

00:42:47.020 Adoptions, overseas

00:42:48.280 adoptions by

00:42:49.220 Americans have gone

00:42:50.240 down now 80%

00:42:51.980 and places like

00:42:55.040 Romania have tried

00:42:56.300 to pick up the

00:42:56.880 slack before and it

00:42:58.100 didn't work.

00:42:59.240 first, before we

00:43:01.320 get to why this

00:43:02.380 number is down.

00:43:04.200 Why aren't people

00:43:05.440 in other countries

00:43:06.360 like Romania?

00:43:07.260 Why doesn't

00:43:08.120 adoption work like

00:43:09.540 it does here?

00:43:10.640 Do you know?

00:43:11.760 Well, it does.

00:43:13.100 I mean, there are

00:43:13.680 people in Romania,

00:43:14.900 but there are not

00:43:16.320 as many people

00:43:17.440 adopting in

00:43:19.420 Romania because it

00:43:20.560 is not culturally

00:43:21.740 as acceptable as

00:43:23.840 it is in the

00:43:24.380 United States.

00:43:25.440 Isn't that weird?

00:43:25.880 When we first

00:43:26.720 started doing

00:43:27.340 adoptions from

00:43:28.200 Russia, very few

00:43:29.540 Russian families

00:43:30.520 would even consider

00:43:31.660 adopting an orphan

00:43:32.700 because they looked

00:43:33.860 at them as

00:43:34.540 children of

00:43:35.180 alcoholics and

00:43:36.420 socially inferior.

00:43:38.920 But after

00:43:39.780 Americans started

00:43:40.840 adopting children

00:43:41.860 from Russia and

00:43:43.440 the Russians looked

00:43:44.420 and said, maybe

00:43:45.520 we're missing

00:43:46.080 something here.

00:43:47.260 Now, the number

00:43:48.640 of domestic

00:43:49.260 adoptions in

00:43:50.160 Russia is much,

00:43:51.620 much higher.

00:43:52.140 So we have an

00:43:54.260 opportunity to

00:43:55.060 show by example.

00:43:56.800 Do you think

00:43:57.160 that's a Christian

00:43:57.800 thing?

00:43:58.440 Is that a

00:43:58.760 Christian trait

00:44:00.260 that came from

00:44:00.920 us or just

00:44:01.400 something unique

00:44:02.080 in us?

00:44:02.760 Brazil is the

00:44:03.500 same way, a

00:44:04.040 very Christian

00:44:04.600 country, but

00:44:05.400 they don't adopt

00:44:06.380 their own children

00:44:07.240 very much.

00:44:08.340 It's the same

00:44:08.880 issue.

00:44:09.920 It's a cultural

00:44:10.840 issue.

00:44:11.300 They're not used

00:44:12.380 to going to an

00:44:13.420 orphanage and

00:44:14.240 finding a child

00:44:14.880 and adopting a

00:44:15.620 child.

00:44:16.340 As you said,

00:44:17.980 Christians ought to

00:44:19.020 be doing it.

00:44:19.860 So is it a

00:44:20.600 Christian thing?

00:44:21.460 It should be.

00:44:22.380 Okay, so now

00:44:23.000 80% drop in

00:44:25.540 foreign adoptions.

00:44:27.100 That's massive.

00:44:28.660 And I warn you,

00:44:30.060 the next few

00:44:30.620 minutes are going

00:44:31.060 to become

00:44:31.820 excruciatingly

00:44:33.000 painful to hear.

00:44:34.180 It's because of

00:44:35.340 somebody in the

00:44:36.560 former administration

00:44:37.820 that was the

00:44:40.660 head of adoptions

00:44:42.400 here, helped

00:44:43.520 setting the laws

00:44:44.580 here, and then

00:44:45.280 she still is.

00:44:46.500 Yeah, she's the

00:44:47.120 chief of the

00:44:47.680 adoption division,

00:44:48.760 which is in the

00:44:49.900 U.S.

00:44:50.320 State Department.

00:44:50.940 And she's a

00:44:52.380 civil service

00:44:53.000 appointment, which

00:44:55.340 is a problem in

00:44:56.580 and of itself.

00:44:57.460 Because she doesn't

00:44:58.100 seem real high on

00:44:59.280 adoptions.

00:45:00.000 She's anti-adoption.

00:45:01.300 How could she have

00:45:02.500 the job?

00:45:03.220 That's right.

00:45:03.800 Of being in charge

00:45:04.440 of adoptions and

00:45:05.200 being anti-adoption.

00:45:06.040 Why would we ever

00:45:06.640 appoint someone to

00:45:07.380 be our chief of

00:45:08.300 adoptions in the

00:45:09.000 United States who

00:45:09.760 is anti-adoption?

00:45:10.780 And when was she

00:45:11.320 appointed?

00:45:11.700 In 2014, she

00:45:14.700 was moved from

00:45:15.700 the Justice

00:45:16.260 Department to

00:45:17.280 the State

00:45:19.000 Department.

00:45:19.460 Any idea what

00:45:20.840 the motivation

00:45:21.660 was to put

00:45:22.580 somebody anti-adoption

00:45:23.820 in there?

00:45:24.340 Why was that

00:45:25.160 done?

00:45:26.140 Don't speculate.

00:45:27.020 If you know...

00:45:28.440 Yeah, I think

00:45:29.180 that the

00:45:31.100 attitude at that

00:45:32.080 time, the Hague

00:45:32.900 Convention had

00:45:33.920 been implemented

00:45:34.740 in the United

00:45:35.520 States.

00:45:36.040 and the

00:45:37.120 focus of the

00:45:38.140 government on

00:45:39.480 any activity is

00:45:42.320 to regulate and

00:45:43.560 control.

00:45:44.920 So she was

00:45:46.500 moved into that

00:45:47.280 position because

00:45:48.160 she had experience

00:45:50.060 in adoptions years

00:45:51.800 earlier, even

00:45:53.340 though she had a

00:45:54.580 proven record of

00:45:55.760 being opposed to

00:45:58.780 the Hague

00:45:59.160 Convention and the

00:46:00.200 regulations.

00:46:01.080 All right, so

00:46:01.380 she put in

00:46:01.980 regulations.

00:46:02.500 They did not go

00:46:03.900 into effect because

00:46:05.660 Trump came in

00:46:06.840 and he reversed

00:46:08.820 them.

00:46:09.440 Is that right?

00:46:10.300 Well, Trump

00:46:11.220 came in and

00:46:11.880 said, we're

00:46:13.360 going to require

00:46:14.420 that you have

00:46:15.380 eliminate two

00:46:16.540 regulations for

00:46:17.960 every new

00:46:18.640 regulation you

00:46:19.600 impose.

00:46:20.400 So the

00:46:20.820 regulations already

00:46:21.940 existed, but

00:46:23.160 she proposed

00:46:24.060 new regulations

00:46:25.180 in September of

00:46:26.640 2016 that

00:46:28.820 would further

00:46:29.620 give them

00:46:30.900 control over

00:46:32.060 the adoption

00:46:32.660 industry.

00:46:33.700 Oh my gosh.

00:46:34.840 All right, so

00:46:35.380 what has to

00:46:36.340 happen to get

00:46:37.400 Donald Trump

00:46:38.180 to, I assume

00:46:39.140 he's open to

00:46:39.880 this, what do

00:46:41.380 we have to do

00:46:42.380 to get him to

00:46:44.600 kick, I assume

00:46:45.740 kick her out,

00:46:47.080 reverse these,

00:46:47.860 what?

00:46:48.220 Move her to a

00:46:48.940 more appropriate

00:46:50.340 position that would

00:46:52.220 use her skills in a

00:46:54.920 more positive way.

00:46:56.160 put someone in that

00:46:59.960 is pro-adoption if

00:47:02.560 you're going to be

00:47:03.300 in charge of the

00:47:05.160 U.S.

00:47:05.800 adoption program.

00:47:07.120 Wow.

00:47:08.080 Okay, so what do

00:47:09.220 we, what do you

00:47:10.520 have people do?

00:47:11.360 So we believe

00:47:12.280 Donald Trump would

00:47:13.240 be very supportive

00:47:14.620 of this if this

00:47:15.360 just got on his

00:47:16.320 list of priorities,

00:47:17.160 if this became

00:47:18.600 something that he

00:47:19.460 focused on.

00:47:20.520 So we've created a

00:47:21.340 White House petition,

00:47:22.260 we started promoting

00:47:23.200 it yesterday, had

00:47:24.420 about 2,500 signatures

00:47:25.680 this morning.

00:47:26.800 The White House

00:47:27.300 promises that if it

00:47:28.880 reaches 100,000

00:47:29.880 signatures that they

00:47:30.900 will respond.

00:47:32.240 The petition was

00:47:33.000 actually created on

00:47:34.200 petitions.whitehouse.gov.

00:47:36.800 If your listeners

00:47:37.780 wanted to, to find

00:47:39.980 that petition, they

00:47:40.700 could go to

00:47:41.080 adoption.com and

00:47:42.520 right at the top

00:47:43.240 there's a bright

00:47:44.080 yellow bar with a

00:47:45.460 link to it, click

00:47:46.320 on that link.

00:47:47.840 And sign the

00:47:48.300 petition.

00:47:48.660 Sign the petition.

00:47:49.400 Okay, so he'll

00:47:50.100 look at it if we

00:47:51.060 have 100,000

00:47:51.920 signatures and take

00:47:53.380 it seriously if

00:47:54.220 correcting this.

00:47:56.000 How long will it

00:47:57.160 take to reverse

00:47:59.020 an 80% decline?

00:48:02.240 It'll take years.

00:48:04.060 But of course it

00:48:05.560 has to start with

00:48:07.520 a person being put

00:48:08.620 in that position

00:48:09.380 that wants to

00:48:10.760 increase adoption.

00:48:11.680 So we have a

00:48:12.440 problem in America

00:48:13.600 where we have a

00:48:17.060 need for foster

00:48:17.840 parents.

00:48:19.060 And it's a lot

00:48:20.140 easier to adopt a

00:48:21.860 little child than it

00:48:23.800 is to adopt a

00:48:24.800 12-year-old.

00:48:25.860 If it takes years

00:48:26.820 to fix this, the

00:48:28.320 problems in the

00:48:29.060 other countries of

00:48:30.080 foster parents, because

00:48:30.760 I got to believe, I

00:48:32.280 mean, our foster, our

00:48:33.460 foster system is not,

00:48:34.740 you know, a pleasure.

00:48:35.880 I can't imagine what

00:48:37.200 it's like in some

00:48:37.900 countries.

00:48:38.660 Not good.

00:48:40.200 Well, most countries

00:48:40.680 don't have foster

00:48:41.440 systems.

00:48:42.000 It's a system of

00:48:42.700 orphanages.

00:48:43.360 And you look at the

00:48:45.220 outcomes of those

00:48:45.980 children, you look at

00:48:47.160 as many as 50% of

00:48:48.980 the girls that age

00:48:49.960 out of those

00:48:50.460 orphanages are, end

00:48:52.060 up in prostitution.

00:48:53.440 And you look at the

00:48:54.440 homelessness at 60%

00:48:56.060 or higher, and you

00:48:56.760 look at the suicide

00:48:57.460 rate of 10%, just

00:48:59.440 ridiculously poor

00:49:00.680 outcomes for the

00:49:01.480 children that age

00:49:02.180 out of those

00:49:02.620 orphanages.

00:49:04.640 You've been talking

00:49:05.340 about this 80%

00:49:06.160 decline in foreign

00:49:07.240 adoptions.

00:49:07.820 How much of that

00:49:08.720 has to do with the

00:49:09.920 Russian sanctions that

00:49:11.220 we've heard so much

00:49:11.840 about?

00:49:12.060 Very little.

00:49:13.140 Very little.

00:49:14.260 Russia closed in the

00:49:16.120 end of 2011, and the

00:49:19.320 decline has continued.

00:49:23.380 So, yeah, there was a

00:49:25.400 time when China put a

00:49:27.400 pause on adoptions.

00:49:28.860 That caused some of

00:49:30.300 the decline.

00:49:31.400 The China's one-child

00:49:32.960 policy was changed.

00:49:34.460 That caused a little

00:49:35.280 bit of it.

00:49:36.020 But there are so many

00:49:37.100 countries that are not

00:49:38.140 even engaged in adoption

00:49:40.120 because the U.S.

00:49:42.060 puts restrictions on

00:49:43.860 them if they do not

00:49:46.160 have an administrative

00:49:48.640 system for tracking

00:49:50.220 documentation when a

00:49:51.660 child is born out in

00:49:53.200 the boondocks, then we

00:49:55.240 suspect that there may be

00:49:56.760 fraud with the

00:49:57.600 documentation.

00:49:58.660 So, a country like

00:50:00.080 Nepal, with children

00:50:02.360 available for adoption,

00:50:04.320 the U.S. will not allow

00:50:06.380 adoptions from Nepal

00:50:07.680 because we don't trust

00:50:08.940 their documentation.

00:50:09.900 And the key question

00:50:11.800 about Russia isn't

00:50:12.840 whether Russia closed

00:50:14.280 its doors or not.

00:50:15.120 The question is, what

00:50:15.780 has the State Department

00:50:16.580 done to help open those

00:50:17.580 doors?

00:50:18.220 What support have we

00:50:19.160 provided to these

00:50:20.040 countries to help them

00:50:21.160 implement robust and

00:50:22.520 ethical adoption

00:50:23.300 programs?

00:50:24.060 And that's the piece

00:50:25.080 that's missing.

00:50:25.820 We need a State Department

00:50:27.040 that is innovating and

00:50:28.860 helping create the type

00:50:31.320 of adoption system they

00:50:32.360 want instead of trying

00:50:33.580 to regulate everybody out

00:50:34.720 of existence.

00:50:35.080 So, I want to take a

00:50:36.360 quick break, but then I

00:50:37.080 have to come back and

00:50:37.960 ask you this question.

00:50:40.660 I know there are people

00:50:42.280 that, you know, will come

00:50:43.840 across this interview and

00:50:44.660 they'll say, well, why

00:50:46.220 don't we start in our own

00:50:47.500 country?

00:50:49.500 There's some problems here

00:50:50.820 with adoption in our own

00:50:52.020 country and some things

00:50:54.140 that we can take care of

00:50:55.500 and some things that, you

00:50:57.040 know, we all should be

00:50:58.020 aware of.

00:50:58.600 There is a need in our own

00:51:00.640 country.

00:51:01.040 And let's talk about that

00:51:03.840 and that concern when we

00:51:05.120 come back.

00:51:06.160 Again, you go to

00:51:07.020 adoption.com, adoption.com,

00:51:09.800 look for the banner up at

00:51:11.120 the top and sign the White

00:51:12.640 House petition to get this

00:51:14.700 Obama appointee removed

00:51:17.060 from the State Department,

00:51:18.440 or at least in this position

00:51:19.720 where she's overseeing

00:51:20.840 adoptions.

00:51:21.720 She's anti-adoption.

00:51:23.580 Do that now, adoption.com.

00:51:26.820 In another dirty little twist

00:51:28.400 of identity tax fraud, thieves

00:51:30.220 now are hacking online

00:51:31.560 accounts at tax preparation

00:51:33.980 firms.

00:51:34.660 So they grab your account

00:51:36.580 and then they put in for

00:51:38.600 the refund to come to them.

00:51:40.220 Once the IRS deposits the

00:51:41.700 money into the hacked

00:51:42.720 client's bank account, the

00:51:44.680 crook contacts them by

00:51:46.260 posting as a collection

00:51:47.480 agency claiming that the

00:51:48.980 refund was an error and

00:51:50.760 demanding payments.

00:51:52.440 Unfortunately, a lot of

00:51:53.820 people are falling for this.

00:51:55.480 There are a lot of threats

00:51:56.660 in today's connected world,

00:51:57.900 and it just takes one

00:51:59.040 weak link for the

00:52:01.140 criminals to get in.

00:52:02.660 That's why there's new

00:52:03.580 LifeLock Identity Theft

00:52:04.980 Protection.

00:52:05.560 It adds the power of

00:52:06.660 Norton Security to help

00:52:08.300 protect you against the

00:52:09.740 threats to your identity

00:52:11.100 and the devices that you're

00:52:13.080 not.

00:52:13.280 You're just not going to see

00:52:14.020 these threats until it's

00:52:14.940 too late.

00:52:15.260 And if you have a problem,

00:52:16.420 the agents are going to

00:52:17.760 work to fix it.

00:52:19.400 Now, nobody can stop all

00:52:20.300 cyber threats, prevent all

00:52:21.340 identity theft, or monitor

00:52:22.360 all transactions at all

00:52:23.400 businesses.

00:52:23.800 But LifeLock with Norton

00:52:25.240 Security is able to uncover

00:52:28.000 those things that most

00:52:29.180 people miss.

00:52:30.200 Go to LifeLock.com or call

00:52:44.960 Glenn Beck Mercury.

00:52:53.800 The United States is down

00:52:58.680 80% in international

00:53:01.840 adoptions, and that's

00:53:02.960 because there is somebody

00:53:03.980 that was appointed by

00:53:05.080 Obama to the State

00:53:06.060 Department that is

00:53:06.960 anti-adoption and has put

00:53:08.740 all of these rules and

00:53:09.740 regulations in to stop

00:53:11.380 international adoptions.

00:53:13.300 It's wrong and it's

00:53:14.500 dangerous for humanity

00:53:16.920 all around the world, and

00:53:18.760 we're asking that you would

00:53:19.780 go to adoption.com and

00:53:21.720 you'll see a banner up at

00:53:22.800 the top.

00:53:23.160 Click on it.

00:53:24.180 It'll take you to the

00:53:25.140 White House for a petition.

00:53:26.640 The White House has

00:53:27.380 promised over 100,000

00:53:28.580 signatures, and they will

00:53:30.480 take this up and review it.

00:53:32.340 So let me pick it up where

00:53:35.780 we left our conversation

00:53:37.640 with Nathan and Ron about

00:53:39.640 international adoptions and

00:53:41.580 adoptions here in America.

00:53:43.520 Why not focus on the kids

00:53:45.300 that we have here?

00:53:46.060 That's a great question.

00:53:47.440 Children in the United

00:53:48.280 States in our foster care

00:53:49.380 system are very important,

00:53:50.600 and they need to be

00:53:51.240 adopted.

00:53:51.600 Children in orphanages around

00:53:54.020 the world are very

00:53:54.820 important, and they need to

00:53:55.800 be adopted.

00:53:56.380 It's not an either-or

00:53:57.240 question.

00:53:58.020 There are plenty of loving

00:53:59.560 families that would love to

00:54:01.060 bring these children into

00:54:01.940 their homes.

00:54:03.560 It's a matter of complexity,

00:54:05.280 not a matter of numbers of

00:54:07.560 families.

00:54:08.120 We need to simplify the

00:54:09.400 system and make it easy

00:54:10.360 enough that these families

00:54:11.360 can bring children home.

00:54:12.680 I will tell you, I adopted

00:54:13.700 my son, Rafe, and Tanya and

00:54:16.000 I were terrified.

00:54:17.960 I mean, she was beside

00:54:20.120 herself for three years.

00:54:21.640 We adopted in Texas, where

00:54:23.200 it's pretty clear, you know,

00:54:24.820 the new parents are the new

00:54:26.060 parents, period, but still

00:54:28.000 terrified that somebody would

00:54:29.760 come knocking at the door one

00:54:31.060 day and say, yep, he's not

00:54:32.720 your son.

00:54:33.200 God touches our hearts in

00:54:35.800 different ways, and sometimes

00:54:36.800 we're motivated to adopt an

00:54:38.180 orphan, and sometimes we

00:54:39.180 connect with a 15-year-old

00:54:40.760 child in the foster care

00:54:41.760 system.

00:54:42.840 But we have, there are laws

00:54:46.040 that, I mean, that stuff does

00:54:47.560 happen, but it is getting

00:54:48.560 better here in America,

00:54:49.540 isn't it?

00:54:50.000 Yeah, and Texas has some of

00:54:51.040 the best laws in the country,

00:54:53.020 but unfortunately that does

00:54:54.740 happen.

00:54:55.240 Okay.

00:54:55.940 Working with the government is

00:54:58.020 worse than labor.

00:54:58.780 It is, it is.

00:55:00.440 If you talk to, my wife and I

00:55:02.340 had two biological children

00:55:03.840 and adopted twice.

00:55:05.800 The labor that she went

00:55:07.240 through with our biological

00:55:08.300 children was nothing.

00:55:09.680 Yeah.

00:55:10.360 Compared to what we had to go

00:55:11.620 through to adopt.

00:55:12.440 No, it is.

00:55:13.680 And, but this is, if we can

00:55:15.520 correct this, we correct so

00:55:17.120 many other problems.

00:55:18.520 That's right.

00:55:19.240 We correct homelessness.

00:55:21.320 I mean, tell me about the

00:55:22.620 rates of those in prison and

00:55:25.400 homelessness and everything

00:55:26.740 else.

00:55:27.120 Well, a statistic I heard

00:55:28.460 the other day, the CEO of

00:55:30.480 the United States Institute

00:55:32.560 Against Human Trafficking

00:55:34.380 said that 60 to 70% of the

00:55:38.800 children who are trafficked

00:55:40.320 come out of the foster care

00:55:42.080 system.

00:55:42.760 Oh my gosh.

00:55:44.160 So the foster care system is

00:55:47.020 good, but it's temporary.

00:55:48.960 And you need to get those kids

00:55:51.020 out of the foster care system

00:55:53.080 into a permanent home as

00:55:55.160 early as possible.

00:55:56.220 And the same thing happens

00:55:57.820 internationally.

00:55:58.560 We've seen statistics that as

00:55:59.920 many as 50% of the girls that

00:56:01.960 age out of an orphanage, that

00:56:03.480 leave an orphanage without

00:56:04.520 being adopted, end up in

00:56:06.120 prostitution.

00:56:07.920 Going back to your original

00:56:09.280 question, we've heard

00:56:11.880 statistics a lot that up to

00:56:13.340 two-thirds of children within

00:56:14.760 18 months of aging out of the

00:56:16.480 foster care system, two-thirds

00:56:18.360 of the children end up either

00:56:19.680 homeless, in jail, or dead.

00:56:24.780 The statistics for these kids,

00:56:27.280 the outcomes for these

00:56:28.140 children that age out of an

00:56:29.360 orphanage or a foster home are

00:56:30.680 ridiculous.

00:56:31.400 The question isn't whether we

00:56:32.840 should adopt from the United

00:56:33.800 States or internationally.

00:56:34.680 The question is, let's do

00:56:36.300 everything we can to get them

00:56:37.420 adopted, all of them.

00:56:38.720 All of the above.

00:56:39.760 And people say that there's not

00:56:41.380 enough people.

00:56:42.240 There are plenty, right, that want

00:56:44.580 to adopt.

00:56:45.040 A recent study from the Dave

00:56:46.300 Thomas Center for Adoption showed

00:56:48.480 that 85 million Americans have

00:56:50.740 considered adoption.

00:56:51.580 And they said that the biggest

00:56:53.620 reasons they haven't adopted is

00:56:55.220 the complexity and the cost.

00:56:56.580 We need to focus on reducing

00:56:57.960 complexity and reducing cost

00:56:59.660 instead of increasing

00:57:00.860 regulations.

00:57:01.740 Amen.

00:57:02.140 Amen.

00:57:02.680 Thank you guys so much.

00:57:04.100 Appreciate your hard work and

00:57:06.040 everything you do.

00:57:07.940 And let me just, let me tell you,

00:57:10.880 as a dad married to a wonderful

00:57:15.260 woman who we couldn't have

00:57:17.640 children and we wanted it so

00:57:20.000 desperately and we worried about

00:57:22.260 adoption, let me tell you, it's

00:57:24.480 the greatest thing ever.

00:57:25.920 The greatest thing ever.

00:57:27.940 Go to adoption.com and please

00:57:31.220 sign that White House petition and

00:57:33.020 let's get that Obama appointee out of

00:57:34.880 the State Department and correct this

00:57:36.220 problem today.

00:57:37.600 Adoption.com.

00:57:39.060 Thanks, guys.

00:57:45.000 Glenn Beck.

00:57:47.000 Mercury.

00:57:50.000 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:58:01.140 I want to start a new segment on the

00:58:03.560 program called Fix Reason Firmly

00:58:07.420 Intercede.

00:58:08.320 And here's how we're going to play

00:58:09.660 this.

00:58:11.100 You have to just stop feeling for just

00:58:16.040 a second.

00:58:16.400 Stop feeling and just use reason.

00:58:20.960 Okay.

00:58:21.760 It's time to act like Spock.

00:58:24.980 No emotions.

00:58:26.520 We're all going to die.

00:58:28.020 But it's logical that we're all going

00:58:29.760 to die.

00:58:30.660 Okay.

00:58:31.560 Fix Reason Intercede for a second.

00:58:34.280 Right now, the press is very upset and

00:58:37.460 everybody is upset at Facebook.

00:58:40.300 Facebook took a nosedive yesterday in the

00:58:42.540 stock market of seven percent.

00:58:45.300 Why?

00:58:46.520 Because the story is, is that they, they

00:58:50.380 gave bulk data.

00:58:53.680 To Cambridge Analytica.

00:58:58.100 And Cambridge Analytica used that to get

00:59:00.800 Donald Trump elected.

00:59:03.100 Okay.

00:59:04.480 Well, that's not really the story.

00:59:06.000 Now, Fix Reason Firmly Intercede.

00:59:09.420 Facebook, what they actually did is they

00:59:11.860 sold this bulk information to an app.

00:59:16.900 You agreed that when you signed up for

00:59:19.740 free Facebook, you agreed that they

00:59:22.640 could do it.

00:59:23.560 Now, you can opt out of that, but you

00:59:26.060 agreed that they could sell your bulk

00:59:28.260 data to an app.

00:59:30.620 Right.

00:59:31.180 And you actually clicked yes to the

00:59:33.440 individual app when you installed it.

00:59:35.820 When you gave it permission.

00:59:37.120 Okay.

00:59:37.800 It goes an extra step further.

00:59:39.340 It's not just that you, that Facebook

00:59:40.920 can sell it to anyone.

00:59:42.400 You had to actually agree to install and

00:59:45.840 utilize this app and give this app access.

00:59:49.080 You agreed to it.

00:59:50.140 Okay.

00:59:50.920 So, so that app is the one that broke

00:59:55.040 the covenant or the, the contractual rules

00:59:58.280 by selling that information to Cambridge

01:00:01.340 Analytica.

01:00:02.140 So Facebook did what they were supposed

01:00:06.480 to do.

01:00:07.660 You clicked on it.

01:00:09.600 You approved it.

01:00:11.560 You should be mad at the app, not at

01:00:15.300 Facebook because it was the app that

01:00:17.560 actually violated the, the stated rules,

01:00:21.060 the contract.

01:00:22.120 They sold it to somebody that they

01:00:23.960 shouldn't have because they sold it

01:00:25.580 without your permission.

01:00:26.360 Now, the question is, how exactly is

01:00:32.000 Facebook responsible for this?

01:00:35.400 Don't feel, just think, how is

01:00:38.520 Facebook responsible?

01:00:40.080 As many people seem to be blaming

01:00:41.380 Facebook because they're this big

01:00:43.200 monolith, right?

01:00:44.220 Yeah.

01:00:44.780 Well, and they certainly have done many

01:00:48.060 things that I don't like.

01:00:49.940 Yes.

01:00:50.240 But on this, in this particular case,

01:00:52.720 again, you gave them the data, you

01:00:54.300 agreed to give them the data.

01:00:55.920 You, you agreed to let the app access

01:00:59.120 that data.

01:00:59.760 You agreed to it.

01:01:00.460 You clicked yes.

01:01:01.960 Then they gave the access to that app

01:01:05.440 and that app, a third party did

01:01:08.900 something that they weren't supposed

01:01:10.660 to and gave it to Cambridge Analytica.

01:01:12.900 So how is that Facebook?

01:01:13.900 I mean, the only way, anyway, I want

01:01:16.260 to, before you go on, I just want to

01:01:18.380 remind you, fix reason, intercede, do

01:01:20.860 not drag other things about Facebook

01:01:23.440 that you don't like along with this.

01:01:26.660 Right.

01:01:27.080 Well, Facebook is censoring

01:01:28.660 conservatives, whatever.

01:01:29.760 No, no, no, no, no, no.

01:01:30.520 That's not, you know.

01:01:31.260 That's not, that's not this part.

01:01:33.820 Let's not, the problem is, is we

01:01:36.140 conflate everything and, and it's

01:01:39.040 getting really confusing.

01:01:40.060 I don't know who I'm supposed to be

01:01:41.520 for and who I'm supposed to be

01:01:42.560 against and why.

01:01:44.920 Okay.

01:01:45.360 So, so fix reason, intercede on

01:01:47.560 this one.

01:01:48.100 Feel nothing.

01:01:49.400 Just think.

01:01:50.560 The only thing that you can

01:01:52.540 potentially say, which I think is

01:01:54.660 generally speaking unrealistic, is

01:01:57.200 that Facebook should follow that

01:02:01.600 information.

01:02:02.460 Well, I was going to say follow it

01:02:03.780 because I don't think they could,

01:02:04.420 they would ever know, but I think

01:02:05.920 you could argue that Facebook

01:02:07.200 shouldn't allow access to its

01:02:09.580 platform from, you know, to some,

01:02:11.800 they're responsible in some way of

01:02:13.160 letting a company that did

01:02:15.620 elicit things and giving them

01:02:17.960 access to their platform.

01:02:19.220 Well, there's something the size of

01:02:20.700 Facebook.

01:02:21.100 I don't think it's realistic that

01:02:22.620 they're going to be able to, to

01:02:23.620 take every single app and make

01:02:25.820 sure that they don't outside of the

01:02:28.320 platform do something like that.

01:02:29.700 This is like, this is like a bad

01:02:31.760 guy goes in and shoots at a school

01:02:34.380 taking away all the guns.

01:02:35.940 Right.

01:02:36.140 That's what you're saying.

01:02:37.300 Yeah.

01:02:37.600 I think it's a bad idea.

01:02:38.920 I mean, I honestly think, you know,

01:02:40.680 look, we, we get, because Facebook

01:02:43.540 and I don't even like Facebook to be

01:02:45.740 clear.

01:02:46.160 I'm not even a fan of it, but it's

01:02:47.860 like when we wind up making this big

01:02:50.560 scary monster out of Facebook, which

01:02:52.900 in many ways they are a big scary

01:02:54.280 monster, but in this particular case,

01:02:56.860 what did they do wrong?

01:02:58.960 I mean, you know, someone took data

01:03:01.000 that the user agreed to give them to

01:03:04.380 a, then that data went to a third

01:03:07.260 party that the user approved that

01:03:10.520 transaction of data.

01:03:12.040 The third party held the data and

01:03:14.320 then did something they weren't

01:03:15.440 supposed to against Facebook's rules.

01:03:17.880 They set up rules to stop this

01:03:19.920 particular thing and they did it

01:03:21.860 anyway.

01:03:22.340 How is that Facebook's fault?

01:03:23.640 All right.

01:03:23.860 So there's question number one.

01:03:25.280 Here's question number two.

01:03:26.580 Are we supposed to be mad at

01:03:30.640 Facebook today or are we supposed

01:03:33.180 to, are, are they, are they for us

01:03:36.360 or against us today?

01:03:38.220 Are they traitors to the cause today?

01:03:43.840 Here's why I ask.

01:03:45.320 Do not feel anything.

01:03:49.060 Just think.

01:03:51.360 Okay.

01:03:52.460 Very uncomfortable in today's world.

01:03:54.680 Don't feel you're in a safe space.

01:03:58.100 This is about the only audience in

01:03:59.560 America that's even capable of this

01:04:00.980 test.

01:04:01.320 I think so.

01:04:02.080 I really do.

01:04:02.820 Okay.

01:04:03.060 So, so I just want you to think

01:04:04.780 Facebook is a leftist organization.

01:04:09.800 Facebook helps Hillary Clinton.

01:04:12.900 Facebook does everything they can to

01:04:15.140 hurt the Republicans.

01:04:18.820 But today, unless you've just had the

01:04:23.000 last thinking lesson today, for some

01:04:27.480 reason, both sides are angry at

01:04:30.400 Facebook.

01:04:32.500 Why?

01:04:35.020 And particularly why, if you don't

01:04:39.720 understand the first question, would a

01:04:43.260 conservative be mad at Facebook?

01:04:45.140 Because what the charge is, is that

01:04:48.320 Facebook took all of their bulk data and

01:04:51.800 handed it to Steve Bannon and his, his

01:04:57.440 Cambridge Analytica firm.

01:05:00.740 He handed it to Steve Bannon.

01:05:04.920 Right.

01:05:05.460 If you believe Facebook is responsible for

01:05:07.980 this.

01:05:08.540 Right.

01:05:09.000 Then you'd have to believe that they

01:05:10.440 were trying to help Donald Trump.

01:05:13.100 So there's, so again, don't feel

01:05:16.860 anything.

01:05:17.320 Don't feel anything.

01:05:18.480 Go dead inside for a minute and just

01:05:22.380 think that one through.

01:05:25.360 Now, if you've already done the math on

01:05:27.900 the first one, you could say, well, they

01:05:30.340 helped Hillary Clinton last time and, uh, and

01:05:33.980 they didn't have a problem with it.

01:05:35.320 They, they are upset because they, they

01:05:38.700 didn't hand it to anybody this time, but

01:05:41.420 an app that they contracted with went

01:05:43.480 against their agenda and everything else.

01:05:45.700 But see, then you're whole, then the

01:05:47.180 whole media story falls apart.

01:05:51.200 Because then it's, you can leave, you

01:05:54.060 can leave Facebook as a liberal entity, but

01:05:57.880 you cannot also be mad at Facebook for

01:06:01.880 giving Steve Bannon all of this raw data.

01:06:05.200 You can't, you can't have both.

01:06:06.600 So which one are we going to choose

01:06:07.920 today?

01:06:08.800 Hmm.

01:06:09.400 Fixed reason, intercede.

01:06:11.080 I have one.

01:06:11.940 Can I go?

01:06:12.800 Yeah.

01:06:13.020 I have one.

01:06:13.940 Okay.

01:06:14.380 Again, fixed reason.

01:06:15.860 Firmly.

01:06:16.260 Don't feel?

01:06:17.080 Don't feel.

01:06:17.800 Not even a little.

01:06:18.600 Not even a little.

01:06:19.220 All right.

01:06:19.900 Big New York Times report came out.

01:06:21.560 New York Times.

01:06:22.780 Extensive data shows punishing reach of

01:06:24.980 racism for black boys.

01:06:27.240 That's the headline.

01:06:28.340 Okay.

01:06:28.540 And this is, I mean, this is being

01:06:30.940 shared like crazy all over the

01:06:32.680 internet.

01:06:33.160 Big story.

01:06:34.100 All right.

01:06:34.420 Okay.

01:06:34.820 Goes into a deep study in which they

01:06:36.200 looked at 10,000 boys.

01:06:38.580 10,000 boys.

01:06:39.440 And that's the first time anyone in the

01:06:41.440 last 20 years has looked at 10,000

01:06:43.360 boys.

01:06:43.900 Well, except for.

01:06:44.900 Okay.

01:06:45.160 No, don't.

01:06:45.640 Whatever you're about to say, don't

01:06:46.580 do it.

01:06:47.220 Because I thought the same thing.

01:06:48.500 We should stop.

01:06:49.920 Casting call.

01:06:51.100 Anyway.

01:06:54.260 No, no.

01:06:54.820 We'll leave it alone.

01:06:55.200 Hey, by the way, did I say the

01:06:56.000 Weinstein Company went bankrupt yesterday?

01:06:57.660 I was saying house of crimes, but

01:06:58.580 nobody has looked at 10,000 boys in

01:07:02.380 about two decades.

01:07:03.420 Okay.

01:07:03.740 So 10,000 boys.

01:07:05.040 10,000 boys.

01:07:05.420 That grew up in rich families.

01:07:07.040 Rich families.

01:07:07.780 What they found.

01:07:08.660 Yes.

01:07:09.080 Is that the white boys grew up to be

01:07:12.240 rich adults more often, about twice as

01:07:15.840 often as black boys grew up to be rich

01:07:19.420 adults.

01:07:20.400 Okay.

01:07:20.920 So the white people had much, a much

01:07:24.180 higher success rate into growing into

01:07:26.760 rich and upper middle-class adults than

01:07:29.060 black children did.

01:07:30.880 Those bastards.

01:07:31.780 Right.

01:07:32.420 And so this, as the headline shows, it is

01:07:36.440 extensive data that shows punishing reach

01:07:38.680 of racism for black boys.

01:07:41.180 Now you look at that at the surface and

01:07:42.740 this is what everyone is doing and you'd

01:07:44.180 say, hey, it sure does.

01:07:46.520 Can I?

01:07:46.800 They're black boys versus white boys,

01:07:49.560 same rich.

01:07:50.280 They started out with the same ceiling,

01:07:53.000 right?

01:07:53.140 They both were rich, right?

01:07:55.360 And then as that advanced, the black

01:07:57.980 children flew, wound up in the lower

01:08:00.280 income areas a lot more often than white

01:08:02.800 children.

01:08:03.060 That shows racism.

01:08:04.540 Can I ask a question?

01:08:05.640 Sure.

01:08:06.460 I mean, fix the reason and receive, right?

01:08:07.980 Is it fixed?

01:08:08.920 Because you use, yeah, it is fixed, but

01:08:11.480 you use two different words.

01:08:12.780 You said black boys and then you said

01:08:15.180 black children.

01:08:16.000 OK, is it children or is it boys?

01:08:19.820 Did they also study girls?

01:08:22.020 Interestingly, they did.

01:08:23.900 Oh, they did.

01:08:24.840 Hmm.

01:08:25.560 OK.

01:08:26.360 They did.

01:08:27.060 Also, what did they find out about the

01:08:29.120 girls?

01:08:29.860 So let me give you the two statements of

01:08:31.560 fact here that they gave you.

01:08:32.900 Now, you have to scroll down a few

01:08:34.700 paragraphs before you get to this.

01:08:36.320 And as you notice, it was not in the

01:08:37.780 headline.

01:08:38.320 I'm already there about it.

01:08:39.660 I'm really angry about the black boys

01:08:41.720 and the racism of our society.

01:08:43.820 Right.

01:08:43.980 Black men consistently earn less than

01:08:46.300 white men, regardless of whether

01:08:47.980 they're raised poor or rich.

01:08:49.360 Bastards.

01:08:49.980 Bastards.

01:08:50.480 Right.

01:08:51.580 Over to the other side of the graph.

01:08:53.060 Yeah.

01:08:53.800 No such income gap exists between

01:08:57.000 black and white women raised in

01:08:59.020 similar households.

01:09:00.640 No such income gap exists.

01:09:03.800 So women exactly the same.

01:09:05.760 Wait.

01:09:06.040 Wait.

01:09:06.400 Wait.

01:09:06.740 Maybe I'm feeling.

01:09:11.840 Did those bastards.

01:09:13.620 Did they just check families that had

01:09:16.100 one black child and an adoptive white

01:09:19.320 child?

01:09:19.720 No.

01:09:19.940 They didn't.

01:09:20.480 No.

01:09:20.960 No.

01:09:21.840 Now, when you use the word bastards,

01:09:24.520 usually you are feeling a little bit.

01:09:26.280 We can just.

01:09:26.740 That's a set of rule.

01:09:27.760 If we're going to do this as a game,

01:09:28.960 we should probably use the word

01:09:30.860 bastard.

01:09:31.200 I'll stop that.

01:09:32.040 So what's interesting here is,

01:09:34.140 first of all, how can it be race if

01:09:37.960 white women and black women have the

01:09:40.880 exact same results?

01:09:42.500 In fact, looking at the chart, you

01:09:45.000 can.

01:09:45.340 I mean, it's it's almost identical.

01:09:48.000 So if if it's race, if it's racism,

01:09:53.580 black women would perform much worse

01:09:55.960 than white women from the study.

01:09:57.880 Yes.

01:09:58.200 So in a way, a very real way,

01:10:02.320 this would disprove the headline that

01:10:05.080 racism was the cause here, unless for

01:10:07.120 some bizarre reason.

01:10:10.300 We're only racist against black men,

01:10:13.120 but that means it's not race.

01:10:15.120 Right.

01:10:15.300 So let's just and this extends further

01:10:17.760 than this, because the other thing we're

01:10:20.160 told in society all the time is that

01:10:23.100 sexism is incredibly vital and happening

01:10:26.860 everywhere.

01:10:28.320 Women have a worse run of it than men.

01:10:31.980 However, again, in this, it shows the

01:10:34.880 opposite where the black boys are the

01:10:37.420 ones that are hurt in this study.

01:10:39.820 The black boys are the ones with the

01:10:42.260 worst results where the black women

01:10:43.960 don't have the bad results.

01:10:46.740 So, again, I don't think this shows.

01:10:51.800 Listen.

01:10:53.500 Listen.

01:10:55.300 I can hear in Texas.

01:10:56.620 I can still hear.

01:10:59.220 The liberal heads popping in California.

01:11:06.660 I can't think anymore.

01:11:08.260 I can't.

01:11:08.820 Makes no sense.

01:11:09.540 Does not come.

01:11:12.860 Fix reason in her seat.

01:11:16.740 Be a free thinker.

01:11:19.080 Celebrate that you are an independent

01:11:21.240 thinker.

01:11:22.680 All right.

01:11:23.660 Every business needs to hire great people

01:11:25.960 and there's no better way to find them.

01:11:27.980 Something better than posting your job

01:11:29.920 online and praying that, you know,

01:11:31.940 Oh, Jesus, deliver that right person to

01:11:35.720 me.

01:11:36.360 Well, Jesus needs you to do your part as

01:11:39.640 well.

01:11:39.980 And that is to think it through and find

01:11:43.040 the best way to let people know that you

01:11:46.720 are looking for a job.

01:12:57.680 Glenn Beck Mercury.

01:13:00.240 Glenn Beck.

01:13:09.700 I have an open letter to James Madison

01:13:13.520 that I hope to be able to share today

01:13:17.560 if we don't run out of time.

01:13:20.420 I also want to, will you play another real

01:13:22.800 quick game with me?

01:13:23.880 Sure, I like this game.

01:13:24.740 Okay, so another quick game of fixed

01:13:28.200 reason in her seat.

01:13:29.440 Am I supposed to be, am I supposed to be

01:13:33.720 with the FBI or against the FBI?

01:13:35.800 Am I supposed to be with McCabe or

01:13:37.680 against McCabe?

01:13:38.580 Against McCabe.

01:13:39.260 Well, now wait a minute.

01:13:40.380 Hang on just a second.

01:13:41.900 The Republicans were all for McCabe

01:13:44.460 because McCabe was in trouble with the

01:13:46.440 Democrats.

01:13:46.600 The reason why this whole investigation

01:13:48.540 started was because he was in trouble

01:13:51.520 with the Democrats.

01:13:53.080 It was John Conyers that said, you know,

01:13:55.860 we've got a real problem here.

01:13:57.780 Our republic is at stake because he's

01:14:00.580 leaking information that hurt Hillary

01:14:03.320 Clinton.

01:14:04.460 And so, wait, McCabe leaked information.

01:14:07.600 We know that.

01:14:08.120 That's why he was fired.

01:14:08.820 Right.

01:14:09.220 But that information hurt Donald Trump.

01:14:11.160 No, it hurt Hillary Clinton.

01:14:12.420 It was hurting Hillary Clinton.

01:14:15.180 And that's why John Conyers and Elijah

01:14:17.380 Cummings said that the investigation

01:14:22.040 needed to be open.

01:14:23.580 So, the investigation that got McCabe

01:14:25.540 fired was launched by...

01:14:27.840 Democrats.

01:14:29.320 So, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to

01:14:33.240 be for McCabe or against McCabe

01:14:37.700 because now, after he helped Donald Trump

01:14:43.500 and hurt Hillary Clinton, according to

01:14:45.460 the Democrats, now the Republicans are

01:14:49.400 mad at him for some reason and...

01:14:53.560 Glenn Beck.

01:14:55.160 Mercury.

01:15:01.660 Love.

01:15:03.040 Courage.

01:15:04.560 Truth.

01:15:06.360 Glenn Beck.

01:15:08.560 An open letter to the Honorable James Madison.

01:15:12.060 Dear Sir, I'm writing to request your help

01:15:16.700 and guidance.

01:15:17.600 It's been, I don't know, 230 years since

01:15:19.840 you wrote the Constitution of the United

01:15:21.200 States.

01:15:21.620 And, you know, I think you intended to

01:15:24.480 establish a permanent, cohesive

01:15:27.140 democratic republic, the first of its

01:15:29.380 kind on the face of the earth.

01:15:31.420 And in that document, you and your

01:15:32.940 colleagues outlined a government that

01:15:34.780 would be subservient to the people, that

01:15:37.520 it would get its powers from the consent of

01:15:39.660 the governed, having been through decades

01:15:43.400 of despotic, you know, rule from a king

01:15:47.200 in a parliament that you didn't elect, you

01:15:49.660 laid out a framework for a government with

01:15:51.480 very, very limited powers.

01:15:53.200 Instead of creating a powerful, centralized

01:15:55.300 government, your constitution instead set

01:15:58.020 forth a system that would ensure that the

01:15:59.620 people would retain their natural rights, that

01:16:02.180 they'd never have a king over them, that the

01:16:04.480 individual states would retain their own

01:16:06.640 sovereignty and control of their own

01:16:09.000 destinies.

01:16:10.140 Your constitution was pretty, I mean, it was

01:16:12.540 pretty amazing, quite honestly.

01:16:14.300 I mean, it was impressive for a good many

01:16:17.480 years.

01:16:19.600 You know, it laid out the two houses and the

01:16:22.840 legislature and you ensured that rural and

01:16:25.440 agricultural states would not be ruled by a

01:16:28.140 densely populated urban state.

01:16:30.080 I mean, your document was really quite

01:16:33.120 brilliant.

01:16:33.900 Three branches of government, each having the

01:16:37.100 power to curb the power of the others designed

01:16:39.200 to ensure that no branch of government would

01:16:41.200 develop the power to take away the rights of

01:16:43.000 the people or the states.

01:16:44.680 And while the constitution details very limited

01:16:47.420 powers granted to the government, it also

01:16:49.220 provides for the flexibility of being able to

01:16:51.340 amend that by the people when they determine

01:16:54.660 their freedom and security might be better

01:16:56.420 served with new powers that they would choose

01:16:59.880 to grant the government or powers that they

01:17:02.000 would wish to take back from it.

01:17:03.560 In short, you wrote the constitution to secure

01:17:06.280 the blessings of liberty, not just for you

01:17:08.580 guys, but for us to create upon this earth a

01:17:11.980 great experiment, a nation of individuals who

01:17:14.960 would self-govern, where the government would

01:17:17.340 never be allowed to steal the freedom and wealth

01:17:19.760 of its people.

01:17:22.320 Jim, I'm just writing to tell you, wow, did that

01:17:24.960 fail, huh?

01:17:26.280 I mean, good idea and everything, but it didn't

01:17:29.060 really work out.

01:17:29.920 If the goal of the constitution was to form a

01:17:33.320 government that had limited power over its

01:17:35.660 people and would never grow to deprive people of

01:17:38.100 their liberty, their property and their lives, then

01:17:40.560 yep, it failed.

01:17:42.020 Wow.

01:17:43.100 Don't get me wrong.

01:17:43.860 I mean, it had a really good run.

01:17:46.280 The nation you helped found, I mean, it became

01:17:48.620 the most powerful nation on earth.

01:17:50.740 Freedom was let loose upon the land.

01:17:53.740 Ingenuity just in the United States, unencumbered by

01:17:57.500 a controlling centralized government.

01:17:59.260 It was able to build the most prosperous, wealthy, and

01:18:01.940 powerful country that has ever existed on the

01:18:04.980 planet.

01:18:05.980 We've lifted billions of people around the world

01:18:08.280 out of poverty.

01:18:09.240 We've harnessed the power of the atom.

01:18:13.060 We have vehicles that have went to the moon.

01:18:17.040 We drive in vehicles that have 800 horses under the

01:18:21.380 hood.

01:18:22.780 Mr. Madison, I mean, the nation you guys envisioned in

01:18:26.460 your constitution, it was real for a while.

01:18:28.580 When the government was out of the way, the people did

01:18:31.340 exactly what you thought they would.

01:18:33.020 They would flourish.

01:18:35.500 However, it didn't really last.

01:18:37.260 I mean, today in the nation that you founded, we've lost most

01:18:40.940 of those freedoms you detailed so thoroughly.

01:18:43.580 Constitution designed to ensure the government of limited

01:18:46.140 powers.

01:18:47.160 Yeah.

01:18:47.360 And most of us don't even read it anymore.

01:18:49.260 We don't even know what it says.

01:18:50.900 You know, it's like a dusty document.

01:18:52.400 It's in a museum.

01:18:53.000 Uh, and that's really the only place that it lives today.

01:18:57.900 In fact, tomorrow in the Senate, they're going to stand and

01:19:01.340 say, Hey, the, the president, because this is what the last

01:19:06.340 president did.

01:19:07.020 Uh, the president can't just declare war in Yemen and us fight it

01:19:12.880 without it going through the Congress.

01:19:14.660 They're trying to actually, you know, take control of the, of

01:19:18.520 their power and their branch to make sure they keep the president

01:19:21.900 in check.

01:19:22.620 That was from the last president.

01:19:24.080 And then also in Congress, I think it's today or tomorrow by

01:19:27.540 tomorrow, they're going to pass a huge budget that none of them

01:19:31.320 have even read yet.

01:19:33.460 Crazy.

01:19:34.120 Right.

01:19:34.840 And if anybody stands up on the floor of the house of the Senate and

01:19:38.040 they actually defend your document, you know, that thing that you

01:19:41.140 guys slaved over, they're ridiculed.

01:19:43.700 They're called traitors.

01:19:45.180 I mean, it's, it's really nuts on what's going on.

01:19:49.940 In short, Mr.

01:19:50.860 Madison, I'm, I'm writing to ask for your help.

01:19:54.080 I need your help to understand because you wrote the

01:19:56.620 constitution, but you wrote it with this fatal flaw in order to

01:20:01.000 fulfill its function of ensuring a government with limited power

01:20:03.960 that is incapable of taking away the rights of citizens.

01:20:07.600 It relies on people.

01:20:11.040 I mean, the constitution holds so much promise for people, but it

01:20:15.580 then relies on people to enforce it.

01:20:20.640 Like I said, I mean, if you stand and talk about limited

01:20:23.180 government, you're shouted down as somebody who has to hate children.

01:20:26.720 You know, you, you, you hate minorities or women today.

01:20:30.760 Our government is expected by the people to solve every perceived problem for

01:20:35.000 every person, every group on earth.

01:20:36.680 Today, the government has to control the weather and the climate.

01:20:39.820 I know, I know, I know, I know that we have to end all disease and poverty.

01:20:45.360 We're expected to ensure that people don't get fat or aren't too skinny.

01:20:49.700 We don't get addicted to drugs.

01:20:51.500 Don't get concussions playing sports.

01:20:53.800 The government has to control hate speech.

01:20:56.420 That's something I'll have to tell you about later to ensure that nobody's

01:21:00.300 feelings get hurt.

01:21:02.140 Today, people are willing to trade their freedom for the illusion of safety.

01:21:06.140 Here's what I really want to know, Jim, where'd that come from?

01:21:11.900 I mean, how'd that steal into the world?

01:21:14.200 What seed, what root did that grow from?

01:21:17.340 Who's doing this?

01:21:18.380 Who's killing us?

01:21:19.120 Who's robbing us of life and light, mocking us with the sight of what we might

01:21:25.080 have known?

01:21:26.460 Does our ruin benefit the earth?

01:21:29.700 Does our ruin help the grass to grow or the sun to shine?

01:21:33.060 Is this darkness in you too?

01:21:36.020 Have you, have you passed through this night?

01:21:38.880 Did you imagine this evil in your era, James?

01:21:44.280 I'm sorry if I'm judging you too harshly, but that's what we do now.

01:21:47.700 We look at people of the past and we go, whoa, they were flawed.

01:21:51.280 What idiots.

01:21:53.560 But you did design and build the most powerful, free and wealthy nation that

01:21:57.260 has ever existed.

01:21:58.080 It was your framework.

01:21:58.940 You designed a country that would see human beings for the wonderful creatures

01:22:03.020 that they are, that would respect their nature as a species, that would allow them to think

01:22:08.480 and act on their own.

01:22:10.560 Your document really is brilliant.

01:22:13.840 It respects a man as a man because of his nature, a self-aware being of free will endowed

01:22:20.520 by its creator with, with rights that aren't granted to or dependent on any other person or

01:22:25.680 group, rights that belong to each of us just because we're human.

01:22:30.900 You guys are the original human rights guys.

01:22:33.380 I don't know if you know that.

01:22:34.460 That's a big deal now, except it's not.

01:22:37.720 We talk about it, but we don't know what it means.

01:22:40.300 I just wonder what you might say to us today.

01:22:44.660 What might you say to Mike Lee or Thomas Massey just before they stand up on the floor of Congress

01:22:51.480 today or tomorrow to defend the Constitution?

01:22:54.880 What might you say to a school teacher in California that was excused for expressing free thought

01:23:03.020 and encouraging logic and reason?

01:23:07.980 What might you say to me?

01:23:11.440 I've defended those in government who still try to live by your document.

01:23:14.700 I, I've considered myself a staunch defender of your document for most of my life.

01:23:20.340 Maybe you would say to me, Hey, thanks for the note.

01:23:23.100 Sorry about the whole free nation thing.

01:23:25.140 You know, good luck in the gulags, Jim.

01:23:27.380 I don't, I don't know.

01:23:28.280 Maybe you'd say, don't give up.

01:23:30.380 Keep defending your liberty.

01:23:32.100 We had to do it in my day when a government stood against us to snuff us out and it worked.

01:23:39.000 Or maybe you just tell us all the simple truth.

01:23:43.440 Constitution is just a piece of paper.

01:23:45.800 That's all it is.

01:23:47.900 Paper has no power over you.

01:23:51.020 It only has the power you choose to grant it.

01:23:54.180 Your freedom and your liberty aren't guaranteed by a piece of paper, nor could they ever be.

01:23:58.800 They're secured and guaranteed by each of you acting and working together to ensure your fellow citizens don't act to deprive you of them.

01:24:10.980 Maybe you'd write to me and say, it's not the Constitution that failed the people, Mr. Beck.

01:24:15.680 It's the people that have failed the Constitution.

01:24:24.380 It's Tuesday, March 20th.

01:24:26.820 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:24:29.180 Julianne Benzile.

01:24:30.200 She is a history teacher in Rockland High School, California.

01:24:34.860 Last week, when the kids were walking out, she just asked the question, this is a march about the Second Amendment and constitutional rights.

01:24:47.620 Would our school be right and justified to allow a 17-minute walkout from school if it was pro-life?

01:24:58.680 Well, that was too dicey.

01:25:01.760 Unsafe.

01:25:02.500 That's unsafe thinking.

01:25:04.340 So she was expelled from school and put on administrative leave.

01:25:09.020 When we talked to her last week, we wanted to get an update and find out what has happened since.

01:25:13.360 Julianne, how are you?

01:25:15.320 I'm good.

01:25:16.060 How are you?

01:25:16.840 I'm very good.

01:25:19.140 I would say that James Madison would be overwhelmed by your brilliant prologue there.

01:25:26.280 That was something else.

01:25:27.300 Well, thank you very much.

01:25:29.920 But what do you know?

01:25:31.280 You're a history teacher in California.

01:25:33.640 Exactly.

01:25:34.020 That's questioning things.

01:25:37.100 So when, you know, the last time we spoke, you were just getting the facts.

01:25:43.200 You were mainly getting the facts from the news.

01:25:46.480 You said your teacher's union was standing up for your right to talk.

01:25:50.740 What has happened since?

01:25:51.980 Well, I have to tell you, Glenn, that I'm so appreciative of people like you.

01:25:58.000 And I have such an appreciation for the industry at this point because I genuinely believe that had it not been for the outrage and the backlash from not just my local community,

01:26:10.180 because my parents and students have rallied around me like you would not believe.

01:26:14.460 But this nation, and because of people like you, my school district completely redacted basically everything, even though they violated not only the First Amendment, but my Sixth Amendment due process.

01:26:29.020 They never, I genuinely honestly don't know why they've never told me exactly what I did wrong.

01:26:36.180 I was, apparently it was never a disciplinary issue.

01:26:38.020 But, yeah, like you alluded to, essentially because I questioned whether one protest would be afforded the same convenience and courtesy as another protest.

01:26:52.220 I think a few students thought that was inappropriate, inflammatory.

01:26:57.960 They were uncomfortable.

01:26:58.960 And my takeaway from this is, go ahead.

01:27:03.460 No, no, go ahead.

01:27:04.140 You take away from this what?

01:27:06.260 Well, the kind of frightening thing is that two students and one parent complained, and that was enough to take a 20-year unscathed teaching record and put me on leave without giving me a reason why.

01:27:21.120 That's pretty scary.

01:27:22.700 Is that going to be removed from your record?

01:27:24.700 Well, there is nothing on my record, because apparently this was not a disciplinary issue.

01:27:30.540 So my record is still unscathed.

01:27:32.540 My reputation is somewhat defamed, but I can handle that.

01:27:36.260 But, you know, there's no discipline in my record right now.

01:27:39.280 Okay.

01:27:39.940 So I'm just wondering, because, I mean, if I were a high school kid, because you're teaching AP classes, right?

01:27:46.960 I mean, you're teaching college-level classes.

01:27:49.820 Yeah.

01:27:49.940 If I were in your class, I think just as an experiment, I would organize a walkout for life.

01:28:00.820 Even if I didn't believe in it, I was the kind of kid that would have organized it and said, let's find out what they would say.

01:28:08.880 Well, you know your history well enough that the ACLU loves to do test cases, you know, Scopes trial in 1925 with evolution.

01:28:19.820 Let's test whether evolution is okay to be taught in public schools.

01:28:24.840 So I say let's test this.

01:28:26.680 I would, and this is genuinely not coming from me, but I'm going to go ahead and advocate for it.

01:28:34.100 I have a student who is actually meeting with our administration and going to go ahead and test this.

01:28:39.620 He's unbelievably brave and courageous to do this.

01:28:42.940 But as I told your producer, and I don't know if you want me to go ahead and suggest what they might be doing, but let's go ahead and flip this.

01:28:52.200 Let's flip this, right?

01:28:54.200 So George Clooney backed with his own personal money the hashtag enough.

01:28:59.760 And, you know, Teen Vogue and Women's March of Power, all these people united behind this to, you know, organize this protest.

01:29:09.020 Well, how about we flip it and do hashtag life, and we try to maybe get a Clint Eastwood or a Tim Allen or a rare Hollywood conservative to back this and maybe get the Heritage Foundation or the American Family Association.

01:29:23.160 And let's just flip this and see what happens.

01:29:26.400 Gosh, I just had Jim Caviezel in studio yesterday.

01:29:30.060 We might have some connections to some Hollywood people that might want to do that.

01:29:35.900 Can you pass on to my producer or, you know, ask this student of yours if they would like to come on?

01:29:46.040 Because I'd love to talk to this student.

01:29:48.920 Yes.

01:29:49.380 In fact, I actually asked him if he was willing to have his name out there, and he said 100%.

01:29:54.380 Yes, his name is Brandon Gillespie, and I would be happy to forward you his information.

01:29:59.300 Oh, yes.

01:29:59.880 I am literally, I mean, I am impressed beyond belief because he, and I just want to be clear that I never advocated.

01:30:11.360 I asked a question.

01:30:12.480 Right. Sure.

01:30:12.940 And it came to his mind because he actually understood my question, and he actually thought, and he's like, hmm, I wonder if this administration would.

01:30:21.820 And he has the courage and the audacity to make an appointment and see what they say.

01:30:28.180 Well, I think that's fantastic.

01:30:29.760 So we're going to reach out.

01:30:30.920 We're going to reach out to him, and maybe we'll have him on tomorrow.

01:30:33.840 And I am sure that we have a few people in this audience that wouldn't mind helping with that.

01:30:41.920 And, gosh, I mean, I might even want to attend.

01:30:48.080 If you don't mind, your opening there was so insightful.

01:30:52.660 And I have to tell you that I do believe that we can get back to a place of respecting and appreciating James Madison and this document that he created.

01:31:04.340 I received a barrage of e-mails, but there's this one e-mail that stands out to me that I'm like, I think we can get back here.

01:31:13.100 There is a lady.

01:31:14.120 I don't even know where it would, you know, there's all these people are coming from out of everywhere.

01:31:18.660 But she said, I am pro-choice, she said, but I would put my own money behind you and a movement to test this to see if a pro-life movement or rally or protest.

01:31:33.200 Yes.

01:31:33.760 Who is this person?

01:31:35.380 This is...

01:31:36.080 That's an American.

01:31:37.840 That's somebody...

01:31:39.100 That is an absolute patriot American.

01:31:41.220 Yes.

01:31:41.440 So there may be an undercurrent of people who actually get it.

01:31:45.360 Uh-huh.

01:31:45.640 Okay.

01:31:46.220 Okay.

01:31:46.720 I...

01:31:47.200 Yeah, we're going to...

01:31:48.700 Hang on.

01:31:49.560 I'm going to get the information, but count me in.

01:31:56.400 That's Julianne Benzel.

01:31:59.180 Uh...

01:32:00.860 She is the Rockland High School history teacher.

01:32:04.860 We'll talk to her again.

01:32:07.580 She's fantastic.

01:32:10.640 Science.

01:32:10.960 It's just a science experiment.

01:32:12.260 That's all it is.

01:32:12.980 It's just a social experiment.

01:32:15.100 We are known for our science and discovery in that field.

01:32:21.040 We are.

01:32:22.960 With volatility in the stock market and wild swings in Bitcoin.

01:32:26.940 My gosh.

01:32:27.640 What is Bitcoin at today?

01:32:28.900 $2?

01:32:29.720 Uh...

01:32:30.120 $85, $31.

01:32:31.880 I can't...

01:32:32.620 It's just so...

01:32:34.260 Ugh.

01:32:35.600 Anyway, uh...

01:32:36.920 Have you noticed that gold has gone up?

01:32:39.080 Gold has gone up.

01:32:40.180 Lots of room to run there.

01:32:41.540 When things go crazy, that's when gold starts to appreciate.

01:32:45.840 Uh...

01:32:46.320 If you...

01:32:47.120 You know, if you've done well in the cryptocurrency, you might want to think,

01:32:50.460 you know, eh, you should spread out that risk a little bit.

01:32:52.980 Gold is not an all-in strategy.

01:32:55.620 It's a...

01:32:56.300 It's a way to spread out the risk.

01:32:58.360 So, if other things go down...

01:33:00.380 What's the stock market at today?

01:33:01.960 Oh, it's up today.

01:33:03.300 Uh...

01:33:03.660 If it goes...

01:33:04.300 If things start to go down and unstable, uh...

01:33:07.380 Well, then that's when gold plays a role.

01:33:09.940 I want you to call Goldline now.

01:33:11.760 Great time of year to be thinking about adding to your IRA.

01:33:14.880 If you have an IRA, now through the end of the month,

01:33:17.380 Goldline is offering $750 in free coins when you purchase $25,000 or more

01:33:22.180 using their industry-leading Express IRA program.

01:33:35.640 Glenn Beck.

01:33:37.520 Mercury.

01:33:44.820 Glenn Beck.

01:33:46.420 Vince in Tennessee.

01:33:47.780 Hello.

01:33:48.120 Welcome to the program.

01:33:49.060 How are you?

01:33:50.780 Hey, good morning, Glenn.

01:33:51.920 And God bless both of you gentlemen.

01:33:53.860 And I was so thrilled to hear the teacher talking about this.

01:33:58.700 When the gun walkout happened, I made sure to talk to my son, who's 13,

01:34:03.020 about why it would be important, no matter what, even if his friends went,

01:34:06.760 to stay inside.

01:34:07.680 Because we don't want to be used as useful idiots.

01:34:10.660 And we talked about the real subject and everything.

01:34:12.840 So when I heard her talking about what this student is doing, it really excited me.

01:34:17.140 And I was hopeful that maybe this could spark something nationwide, because that's something

01:34:21.580 I can encourage him to actually participate in, and that he can do proudly as a Christian.

01:34:26.500 And then, you know, I would be able, if any teacher were to push back on it, I would be

01:34:31.080 glad to back him 100% in standing up for what he believed when the others were given a free

01:34:38.520 pass.

01:34:40.980 Well, that, I mean, some might say that would be a sharp stick in the eye, but I'm not one

01:34:46.340 of those people.

01:34:47.400 So, Vince, I'm going to take this, and we're going to have a meeting right after the show.

01:34:54.300 Make sure you join us tomorrow, because I really like this idea.

01:35:00.880 And let's see, can people stand up for the right of people that they disagree with to do the same

01:35:07.720 thing that was just done?

01:35:10.000 Would they get the same response in school?

01:35:13.600 Glenn Beck, Mercury.

01:35:24.300 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:35:26.320 Let me go to Mark.

01:35:27.620 Hello, Mark.

01:35:28.160 You're on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:35:29.980 Hi, Glenn.

01:35:30.800 Thank you.

01:35:31.600 I just wanted to thank you for doing that segment on adoption, especially bringing the attention

01:35:38.500 to the petition that is currently up on adoption.com and on the White House petition's website

01:35:46.940 about removing this lady from the State Department who is in charge of the adoptions for this

01:35:52.180 country.

01:35:53.280 My wife coincidentally told me about this last night, and she works for a Michigan-based adoption

01:36:00.360 agency here in Michigan.

01:36:01.700 She's worked there for over 20 years.

01:36:03.320 And she told me about this last night as we were watching TV, and I was just astonished

01:36:08.700 at how asinine it is to have somebody in charge of adoptions in this country who is anti-adoption.

01:36:18.500 So I urge all of your listeners to go and sign that petition online and get this lady removed.

01:36:25.620 This is a lady, she was formerly of the Justice Department, and she is anti-adoption, and she

01:36:32.420 is in charge of all foreign adoptions here in the United States, and she has put in regulation

01:36:38.320 after regulation.

01:36:39.300 This is an Obama appointee, and she's put in all kinds of regulation.

01:36:44.400 Donald Trump said, no, we're not going to do that.

01:36:46.560 She put in additional regulations as they pulled the old regulations out that she had created,

01:36:52.900 adopted, and adoptions now are down 80%.

01:36:56.280 This is creating a crisis, and some, more cynical than I, might think that that was the point.

01:37:06.440 But we've got to change this, and Donald Trump will.

01:37:09.480 He just needs to see that there's a groundswell of people that are wanting this to happen.

01:37:15.920 So go to adoption.com and sign that petition, and it will get to the White House.

01:37:20.700 And the White House, as said, if you raise $100,000, we will bring it up, and we'll seriously

01:37:26.800 discuss it.

01:37:27.420 So we need $100,000 signatures.

01:37:29.040 Adoption.com, we can do that today.

01:37:31.840 Okay.

01:37:32.060 Glenn and I would like to announce the adoption of Pat Gray.

01:37:35.800 Wow.

01:37:36.540 Yeah.

01:37:37.000 We're so settled in.

01:37:38.280 We're going forward.

01:37:39.780 I think we're going forward.

01:37:40.680 Yeah, well, the show in this half hour was struggling a little bit, and so you always bring

01:37:45.320 in an adoptive kid.

01:37:49.140 Usually a little younger than 56, though.

01:37:51.860 Yeah.

01:37:51.880 Ding dong.

01:37:52.760 Oh, look.

01:37:53.360 It's Pat, the neighbor orphan.

01:37:55.500 It's our cousin.

01:37:57.640 Pat.

01:37:58.320 Hey, cousin.

01:37:59.440 How are you?

01:38:01.220 What you talking about, Glenn?

01:38:03.120 Oh, that's good.

01:38:04.540 Write that down.

01:38:06.380 Yeah.

01:38:06.680 You could use that.

01:38:07.440 So there was a shooting in Maryland today, and we pray and our thoughts go out to all

01:38:15.480 of the victims and the families.

01:38:17.620 What a waste.

01:38:19.620 And our hearty thanks to the sheriff's department.

01:38:24.280 Apparently, there were two wounded, but only one killed, and that was the shooter himself

01:38:30.500 because there was a guy in school with a gun.

01:38:35.800 A good guy with a gun.

01:38:37.400 A good guy, and he shot him.

01:38:40.440 That can't be, because more guns can't be the answer to guns.

01:38:43.820 It just can't.

01:38:44.480 Well, it can't be the answer.

01:38:45.900 It was.

01:38:46.840 Usually is.

01:38:47.660 It was here.

01:38:49.260 Yeah, that's why we don't go, and we don't arm our soldiers with flowers.

01:38:52.920 Right.

01:38:53.380 That's why we don't speak German.

01:38:54.740 That's right.

01:38:55.280 Isn't it interesting that that's what their continual refrain is?

01:38:58.620 You don't stop guns with more guns.

01:39:01.100 Well, it's exactly what's happened over the last 20 years in this country.

01:39:05.180 We have, by some estimates, 350 million guns, more than anybody in the history of the world,

01:39:11.380 probably combined.

01:39:13.020 And the gun violence has gone down by 50%.

01:39:15.520 So, yes, you do stop guns with more guns.

01:39:19.600 Yeah.

01:39:19.900 Well, we have it.

01:39:20.840 It's official today.

01:39:22.720 That's how we stop the guy with a gun.

01:39:24.820 At least that's what the reporting right now.

01:39:27.020 Early reporting is indicating that it was the school resource officer.

01:39:30.780 If you remember, that's what the guy in Parkland was, Scott Peterson.

01:39:33.100 Early reporting is sometimes inaccurate.

01:39:34.860 Like, sometimes they'll say it's an invasion from Uganda, and then it'll turn out to be,

01:39:39.900 no, it's just the one shooter.

01:39:41.100 Okay, so, you know, I should have learned this because Stu came in, and right when we went

01:39:46.640 on the air today, this was happening, and I said, you want to talk about irresponsible

01:39:50.520 reporting?

01:39:51.260 This is real.

01:39:54.260 CNN had a kid in a math class away from the shooting in lockdown at that school.

01:40:03.840 And he said, they started the interview, and they said, you're there.

01:40:07.820 And he said, yes.

01:40:09.480 Can you hear anything?

01:40:11.200 No, we haven't heard anything.

01:40:12.440 We just know that we're in lockdown.

01:40:13.980 Apparently, there's a shooter.

01:40:15.000 We've all been on social media, and so we don't have any facts ourselves because we're

01:40:21.220 just locked in here, but we're on social media.

01:40:24.200 What did the reporter at CNN say?

01:40:27.180 Do you know how many have been shot or killed?

01:40:31.440 Yes.

01:40:32.240 Well, it started with one, but it's up to seven now.

01:40:36.140 Now, I'm only getting this from social media, but maybe seven killed so far.

01:40:42.060 Ah, let's see.

01:40:43.960 You're talking to a stranger who claims to be a kid in a math class who has said to you,

01:40:52.580 I have no contact at all or information on what's happening.

01:40:57.360 I can hear nothing.

01:40:59.340 I'm just scrolling down social media to see what's happening.

01:41:04.320 And they put that on the air.

01:41:06.060 I love that because not their best moment.

01:41:08.800 I love that.

01:41:09.800 That's hard to choose.

01:41:10.620 I know because, I mean, they would never, in theory, go on social media and just start

01:41:16.020 reading Twitter posts, tweets about what's going on.

01:41:20.280 Oh, this person just says seven people are dead.

01:41:24.400 However, it's okay to call a person who's completely random and have them read social

01:41:30.060 media to CNN and put it on the air.

01:41:32.720 That's completely responsible.

01:41:34.080 They're just a crazy kid.

01:41:35.980 They would have gotten away with this plan, too, if it wasn't for those pesky kids.

01:41:39.480 If this is true, though, I mean, it's a really, it's encouraging, right?

01:41:44.200 I mean, you know, you kind of lose perspective on how competent probably most of these school

01:41:52.460 resource officers are with this Parkland situation with the guy standing outside for, you know,

01:41:57.120 10 minutes.

01:41:57.660 You know, you got to remember that, you know, they tried to use this as a way of disproving

01:42:03.500 the idea of school security being effective.

01:42:06.500 No, we just had.

01:42:07.280 And this is an example.

01:42:08.260 No, there was something in Parkland that was really, really, really wrong.

01:42:12.820 Really wrong.

01:42:13.540 I mean, did you see the news that came out this week that that the school themselves that

01:42:18.140 said we should institutionalize that the family had said we should institutionalize?

01:42:23.220 Nothing was done.

01:42:25.000 Yeah.

01:42:25.580 I mean, forced institutionalization where they can at least evaluate him for three days.

01:42:31.420 And if you do that, it's almost guaranteed he wouldn't be able to buy a gun.

01:42:37.060 So had they taken that one step where they evaluated him for three days, he would have

01:42:42.320 been ineligible to buy a gun legally.

01:42:45.220 Could have prevented it.

01:42:46.680 I mean, there's so many things along the line that could have prevented it.

01:42:50.460 And, you know, you got to enforce the laws.

01:42:52.820 You got to go with what we have, which is why nothing works with immigration either.

01:42:56.680 We don't enforce the laws we have.

01:42:58.600 If you just do that, it would be a lot better situation for virtually everything.

01:43:03.160 Boy, that resource officer today in Maryland, if this is true, and the only one that was

01:43:08.200 killed was the one he shot, the shooter, the killer or the attempted killer.

01:43:15.720 Uh, that's just heroic and gives you faith again that, you know, these guys aren't clowns

01:43:25.000 that are sitting in our, our schools.

01:43:26.940 Yeah.

01:43:27.300 And I think it lends credibility to arming some people in the school, whether that's, you

01:43:33.800 know, retired veterans or retired police officers or, uh, or you arm teachers.

01:43:40.760 There's somebody in the school now has guns and a way to put, put a stop to something.

01:43:46.080 I don't understand how that's not a good thing.

01:43:48.500 Is the fear that, that if somebody gives a wrong answer in class, the teacher is going

01:43:53.480 to turn on them and shoot them.

01:43:54.840 Do we have a, do we have a problem with armed security and banks?

01:43:59.320 No, we don't.

01:44:00.540 That's a thing.

01:44:01.180 We don't have a, we, we go to any federal building.

01:44:04.040 And does your, does your bank feel like a jail cell?

01:44:06.840 No, it doesn't.

01:44:08.000 No.

01:44:09.160 So do we have a problem when we go to, when, when you go to a federal building?

01:44:13.660 No.

01:44:13.940 And there's, there's armed security everywhere?

01:44:16.540 No.

01:44:16.960 You go to a basketball game or a football game, you get, is there security as you go

01:44:21.640 into it?

01:44:21.900 It doesn't feel like a prison.

01:44:23.380 It feels like, okay, there's a level of protection here.

01:44:26.700 When you're gathering large amounts of, of random people and you know, I mean, sometimes

01:44:32.100 you're going to do that.

01:44:32.820 That's okay.

01:44:32.980 You go to the Superbowl every single year and they take some extraordinary measures there.

01:44:36.580 Does it ever feel like you're in a prison at the Superbowl?

01:44:39.160 No, no.

01:44:39.780 I mean, you know, they, and, and there it's really extensive too.

01:44:42.380 It's much more than you'd ever want in a school because it's such a high profile event

01:44:46.340 that everyone's watching, but it's like, they, I mean, there's huge amounts of security,

01:44:50.040 but still like they do a good job.

01:44:51.720 They don't make it feel like a prison, right?

01:44:54.240 Like, you know, you don't want that to happen.

01:44:56.620 You don't want to scare kids and make it seem like every time they go around the corner,

01:44:59.800 there could be another gunman, obviously.

01:45:01.960 But there are, you know, there, there's reasonable things you can do here.

01:45:05.420 And certainly with the amount of nonsense, as Pat has pointed out many times, what's

01:45:09.440 the school in Texas that has two arboretums in it?

01:45:13.080 Seven lakes.

01:45:13.960 Right.

01:45:14.260 There you go.

01:45:14.980 And so, I mean, when we're spending money on multiple arboretums in a school, you probably

01:45:19.680 can direct a little, some of those funds to someone with a weapon that's trained to

01:45:24.320 use it that can protect children.

01:45:26.220 I mean, it, you know, it's going to be a waste in almost every single circumstance.

01:45:31.760 Almost every one of these guys will do nothing to actually take down a shooter in their entire

01:45:36.320 lives.

01:45:36.880 And that's great.

01:45:38.280 But I mean, why not a little bit of added security?

01:45:40.900 It's not, it's, as long as it's not overwhelming and ridiculous, we can take, I mean, we can make,

01:45:45.680 we can make a sensible path to that, I think.

01:45:48.660 You know, I find it interesting that I knew things were good, you know, in Maryland, that

01:45:54.220 it wasn't a mass killing.

01:45:57.380 When I saw CNN, stop covering it.

01:46:00.480 Yeah.

01:46:01.300 Yes.

01:46:02.340 I mean, why isn't this, this is still news.

01:46:04.820 This is still, this plays right into the culture.

01:46:08.460 More shootings are happening.

01:46:10.240 Here's another one.

01:46:11.280 Here's another case.

01:46:12.840 Why?

01:46:13.200 Why are they not covering this one wall to wall?

01:46:14.900 And they got really excited at first and started covering it.

01:46:17.400 And then they found out, ah, nothing to see here.

01:46:19.160 Let's go back to Trump bashing.

01:46:20.440 And they did immediately.

01:46:21.680 I mean, isn't it a huge, think about this.

01:46:23.520 So you have a debate where both sides, you know, the conservative side has said largely

01:46:27.980 school security is the answer.

01:46:29.480 The other side has said gun control is the answer.

01:46:31.580 Here's one where it appears early on that the school security that was in place stopped

01:46:37.480 an incident that could have been much worse.

01:46:39.860 If that proves out to be true, that should be a massive, massive story.

01:46:44.460 Well, all they do is tell us, oh, a good guy with a gun has never stopped a mass shooting

01:46:48.000 ever.

01:46:48.280 I mean, this looks like an example early on.

01:46:50.900 And there have been plenty of other examples, by the way.

01:46:52.880 But this looks like an example, right?

01:46:54.600 What?

01:46:55.000 Three days before the March for our lives or four days before the March for our lives.

01:46:59.600 I mean, is this going to be even noted?

01:47:01.580 No, no, no, no, absolutely not.

01:47:03.800 No.

01:47:03.980 I bet you, you watch tonight on TV.

01:47:07.000 I'll bet you, if you're watching CNN, they don't really even cover it.

01:47:10.620 Yeah.

01:47:10.780 Brief mention maybe that it occurred and then it goes away.

01:47:13.040 But then move on.

01:47:14.000 There's no round panel talking about, well, now, wait a minute.

01:47:17.660 These kids were saying guns don't solve the problem.

01:47:20.600 But here's the, here's the, there's no round table having that.

01:47:24.240 There's nobody, there's nobody in a, there's, there's, there's nobody in Maryland in an arena

01:47:29.620 with cheering parents going, yes, yes, the officer fixed it.

01:47:36.540 The officer killed the guy before he killed our children.

01:47:39.740 Yay.

01:47:41.460 Not going to happen.

01:47:42.520 Not going to happen.

01:47:42.860 Pat Gray Unleashed is the name of his program.

01:47:52.520 Our adopted son posts it every single day.

01:47:55.760 I wonder what he'll say tomorrow.

01:47:57.500 He's, he's so cute and crazy.

01:48:00.340 He's adorable and unleashed.

01:48:02.580 Get the podcast as well.

01:48:03.900 And I do.

01:48:04.460 He is adorable yet unpredictable.

01:48:06.680 You just never know what might happen when that doorbell rings.

01:48:10.080 Do you want your home sold on time and for the most amount of money without all kinds

01:48:15.160 of excuses?

01:48:16.040 Of course you do, right?

01:48:18.040 You just want to sell your house or you just want to buy a house and, and have it all taken

01:48:23.940 care of.

01:48:24.480 And just the people, everybody gets a good deal, right?

01:48:28.780 Isn't that what you want?

01:48:30.280 I want to get a good deal on a house.

01:48:32.440 If I'm buying a house, I want the seller to make some money.

01:48:36.540 I want the real estate agents to make money.

01:48:38.760 I'm fine with that.

01:48:40.080 A fair, simple deal for everybody.

01:48:43.100 Just get it done without excuses.

01:48:46.840 Here's the thing.

01:50:05.300 Glad you're here.

01:50:06.320 Very excited to share tomorrow's show with you tomorrow as we're getting ready to vacate.

01:50:17.200 We're already putting together a really exciting show for you tomorrow.

01:50:20.380 You don't want to miss.

01:50:21.680 If you're watching the NCAA tournament, you're probably very familiar with Simmons College,

01:50:25.200 which is a huge, huge, huge college that everyone's familiar with.

01:50:30.780 But they have a, at their library, they now list six anti-oppression categories of microaggression

01:50:36.800 that I think you should be aware of, Glenn.

01:50:38.740 I'm sorry, the name of the college again?

01:50:41.060 Simmons.

01:50:41.240 Simmons.

01:50:41.900 Okay, Simmons.

01:50:43.000 And it's a...

01:50:43.940 Six anti-oppression categories when it comes to microaggressions.

01:50:47.480 Anti-racism.

01:50:48.960 Anti-transmesia.

01:50:51.460 Anti-what?

01:50:52.640 Anti-transmesia.

01:50:53.440 Is that, is that like, is that being, are you a transgendered with amnesia?

01:51:01.920 That is not...

01:51:03.140 So, like, I can't remember if I started out this way or not.

01:51:05.840 If you, if you don't know what anti-transmesia is, I can't remember.

01:51:08.060 Okay, all right.

01:51:08.400 I'm just wondering.

01:51:09.320 Anti-ableism.

01:51:10.780 Anti-Islam-mesia.

01:51:14.300 Okay.

01:51:14.780 Anti-sanism, which I think is against the sane.

01:51:19.020 And anti-queermesia.

01:51:23.380 Queermesia.

01:51:23.920 Yes.

01:51:24.340 Okay.

01:51:24.800 Now, down in the anti-Islamo-mesia tab, students are sternly warned that saying God bless you

01:51:32.460 after a sneeze is to commit the microaggression listed as assumption of one's own religious

01:51:37.180 identity as the norm.

01:51:38.580 Ah.

01:51:39.780 What about Merry Christmas?

01:51:40.520 God bless her heart.

01:51:41.240 No, this conveys one's perception that everyone is Christian and believes in God.

01:51:46.320 At the end, they want to make a note very clear, though.

01:51:48.420 The term micro is used because this is an invocation of religious hierarchy, the individual level,

01:51:52.400 person to person, whereas the macro level refers to aggression committed by structures

01:51:56.760 as a whole.

01:51:58.220 Micro in no way minimalizes or otherwise evaluates the impact or seriousness of the aggressions.

01:52:04.100 Thank you.

01:52:04.800 Thank you.

01:52:05.400 I appreciate that.

01:52:06.300 Just follow those simple rules.

01:52:07.660 And for those of you who don't know how you started, male or female, you'll figure it

01:52:13.220 out.

01:52:13.520 You'll figure it out.

01:52:14.380 Just, just run for us.

01:52:17.180 Run.
