The Glenn Beck Program - 'Taking The Bad with Good'？ - 7⧸16⧸18

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

00:00:06.400 Glenn Beck.

00:00:07.760 Well, it's not just the Twitter mobs, the leftist extremists and the flagrant fourth

00:00:12.500 wave feminists who want ICE abolished. 1.00

00:00:15.440 As we have seen, there's now a growing number of politicians who want to see it abolished

00:00:19.700 as well.

00:00:21.740 Q Alejandro Alvarez, 32 years.

00:00:26.200 In his 32 years alive, he has managed to cultivate his brand as a serial immigration violator.

00:00:35.580 He has been deported 11 times and now he's facing deportation again, this time because

00:00:44.620 he, quote, slashed his wife with a chainsaw, end quote.

00:00:51.420 His wife is now in the hospital and she is expected to survive.

00:00:56.200 Around 3 p.m. last Wednesday, police arrived at Alejandro's house.

00:01:01.780 When they arrived, they found his wife suffering from traumatic physical injuries believed to

00:01:08.160 have been inflicted by a chainsaw.

00:01:11.660 The couple's three children were huddled in fear inside the home.

00:01:16.160 Is ICE coming, Daddy?

00:01:18.880 Or were they possibly afraid of, where's ICE?

00:01:22.680 Daddy's got a chainsaw.

00:01:24.300 Alejandro's wife was rushed to a nearby trauma center for emergency surgery.

00:01:30.280 He fled the scene of the crime, but eventually hauled in by police and booked, under suspicion

00:01:36.260 of attempted murder, child endangerment, hit and run, and grand theft auto.

00:01:43.520 But that's it.

00:01:44.860 Now, it sounds kind of mean, like the kind of guy that, man, Ellis Island would have let

00:01:51.500 in, right?

00:01:54.560 ICE spokesperson, Laura Haley, noted that immigration officers, I'm quoting, have lodged a detainer

00:02:04.460 against Alvarez, against Alvarez, requesting that local authorities notify Immigration and Customs

00:02:11.720 Enforcement before his release.

00:02:16.920 Wait, what?

00:02:19.900 Let me read it again.

00:02:22.780 Immigration officers have lodged a detainer against Alvarez, requesting that local authorities notify Immigration and Customs Enforcement

00:02:33.260 before his release to allow them to take him into custody.

00:02:38.600 So this is the new reality, America.

00:02:42.880 The immigration agency has to ask for permission to file requests to have legal immigrants who

00:02:51.440 are guilty of crimes with a chainsaw so they can deal with it.

00:02:58.720 Luckily for, well, not the American people, or really his wife or family, but lucky for him, he lives in Los Angeles, a sanctuary city.

00:03:15.020 So, you know, he'll probably get another pass and be out on our streets, clipping the hedges or people in no time.

00:03:28.720 It's Monday, July 16th.

00:03:30.700 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:03:32.680 And all is right with the world.

00:03:34.560 Hello, America, and welcome to the program.

00:03:38.020 Say hello to my good friend, Mr. Pat Gray.

00:03:39.860 Hello, Pat.

00:03:40.580 Hello, Glenn.

00:03:41.360 Good.

00:03:41.620 Filling in for Stu, how was your weekend?

00:03:43.900 It was good.

00:03:44.760 Yeah, you were filling in for Stu on his weekend?

00:03:47.360 Yes.

00:03:47.880 Okay, good.

00:03:48.740 Yes.

00:03:49.140 Yes, all right.

00:03:49.880 I was.

00:03:51.120 Did you get anything out of his house?

00:03:53.180 He's been gone now for a week.

00:03:54.420 Just some of the more valuable things.

00:03:56.140 More valuable things, good.

00:03:57.540 Yeah.

00:03:58.720 So, that Alejandro thing, that doesn't bother you, does it?

00:04:01.840 Not at all.

00:04:02.520 Yeah.

00:04:03.160 No, I don't want to see him separated from his family.

00:04:05.620 You can't separate him from his family.

00:04:07.000 Right?

00:04:07.480 Amen.

00:04:08.220 Amen.

00:04:08.720 He may have wanted to separate his wife from her head.

00:04:13.280 Right.

00:04:13.640 You may have.

00:04:14.460 You know, or her arm. 0.86

00:04:16.100 Right.

00:04:16.900 You know, but you can't separate him from his children.

00:04:20.640 Not at all.

00:04:21.120 This is wrong.

00:04:22.120 How about this one?

00:04:22.880 This one bothered you at all.

00:04:24.460 In Alabama, a 13-year-old was found dead in a wooded area last month after she was beheaded.

00:04:34.960 She was beheaded because apparently she saw two men stab her grandmother to death.

00:04:42.980 The grisly details of Mariah Lopez and her slaying came out during a preliminary hearing of Yanni Martinez Aguilar.

00:04:54.780 Aguilar, 26, and Israel Gonzales Palomino, he's 34, are each charged with two counts of capital murder in the deaths of Lopez and her 49-year-old grandmother and legal guardian.

00:05:12.120 He's also, one of them is also charged with possession of methamphetamines.

00:05:16.400 Members of the middle school family wept as an investigator testified about the death of the mother and the child.

00:05:28.000 Apparently, Aguilar told detectives that Mendoza was involved with a cartel, the Sinaloa?

00:05:38.820 Sinaloa.

00:05:39.560 Sinaloa cartel.

00:05:41.000 Do you know anything about them?

00:05:42.040 Mm-hmm.

00:05:42.420 What about them?

00:05:43.000 I think the second biggest cartel in Mexico.

00:05:46.400 Let's see, you're wrong again.

00:05:47.800 One of the biggest.

00:05:49.320 One of the most powerful.

00:05:50.540 All right.

00:05:50.820 One of the trafficking.

00:05:51.880 Second.

00:05:54.920 Anyway, they came up here from Mexico, and they went to Georgia, where they picked up a quarter kilo of meth for the cartel.

00:06:08.760 Along the way, something went wrong, and Palomino became suspicious that Mendoza and Garcia,

00:06:16.400 also tied to the cartel, might be setting him up.

00:06:20.820 So, they ended up at Grandma's house.

00:06:26.180 They found a text sent during the drug run in Georgia, which asked an unknown woman to pick up her grandmother, who was Palomino's wife, because she feared that she and her grandmother were in danger.

00:06:40.240 On June 4th, the men woke Mendoza at their Huntsville home, and told her that they were taking her and Lopez, who had special needs, someplace safe.

00:06:51.980 Well, that someplace safe was heaven.

00:06:54.460 They stabbed the grandmother multiple times, leaving her for dead.

00:07:02.360 Lopez, who witnessed her grandmother slaying, was taken to a wooded area two and a half miles from the cemetery.

00:07:08.360 Where one of the guys said, the other guy forced me to kill her.

00:07:20.120 He apparently took a knife to this child of special needs and sawed her head off. 0.98

00:07:29.200 It apparently took some time.

00:07:39.200 Good, decent, hard-working family people.

00:07:42.680 You know?

00:07:45.080 Now, I don't know.

00:07:46.520 Maybe the 13-year-old and grandmother were not here legally either.

00:07:54.620 But I don't put them in the same category as I do the people who were sawing heads off.

00:08:02.800 Now, maybe Grandma was involved in the drug deal as well, which it looks like.

00:08:09.960 So, do we care less about this story?

00:08:14.340 How can somebody be beheaded in this country?

00:08:18.960 How can someone, a 13-year-old girl of special needs, have her head sawed off?

00:08:32.160 And that doesn't make the news.

00:08:35.300 How is that possible?

00:08:39.360 You have to have a pretty firm agenda not to report on that.

00:08:43.460 Because look at the things they report on.

00:08:45.100 I mean, if this fits their agenda, they're all over it and it's everywhere.

00:08:50.800 But this doesn't fit the agenda.

00:08:53.320 So, they'll just talk about ripping babies out of the arms of their mothers instead.

00:08:58.220 Yeah.

00:09:00.060 Which Hillary did again this weekend. 1.00

00:09:04.100 She found it outrageous, outrageous that this administration is ripping children out of the arms of their parents.

00:09:13.500 Really?

00:09:14.960 Because you didn't find it outrageous under Obama.

00:09:17.720 No.

00:09:18.280 You didn't find it outrageous at all.

00:09:20.040 When they had double the numbers of children ripped out of the arms.

00:09:22.660 Right.

00:09:23.000 And now, you know, did you see the latest of what they're outraged by?

00:09:26.280 They're outraged that the administration has not gotten all of the parents and put all the kids back together with their parents yet.

00:09:35.700 Yeah.

00:09:36.620 And did you see why the administration actually listed some reasons?

00:09:42.060 Yeah.

00:09:42.380 I saw them.

00:09:42.880 Go ahead.

00:09:43.340 Go ahead. 0.99

00:09:44.300 Start with your ridiculous reasons. 0.99

00:09:47.760 Well, some of them were child abusers, which they can't release them back to, child abusers. 0.98

00:09:56.900 You know, parents' rights.

00:09:58.180 Some of them.

00:09:58.800 Parents' rights.

00:09:59.540 Okay.

00:09:59.980 You can't separate families.

00:10:00.820 You can't separate families.

00:10:02.700 Some of them were already, had left the country and so were no longer around.

00:10:10.240 Some of them had felony charges pending against them.

00:10:15.140 I mean, there was on and on and on.

00:10:17.560 So the 50 that they were able to find the parents for and there was no issue, they did return to the parents.

00:10:24.480 But there was another 50 or so that they couldn't find them or they were child abusers.

00:10:31.920 Yeah.

00:10:32.120 Suddenly, suddenly, suddenly, suddenly the left doesn't care about the home situation.

00:10:40.380 Suddenly, the parents, no matter who they are, no matter what they've done.

00:10:44.860 I thought it took a community.

00:10:46.580 I thought it took, I thought it took a whole village.

00:10:50.080 Aren't we supposed to all be someone else's parent?

00:10:55.340 Here's, here's a, an administration that has children separated from their parents.

00:11:00.700 We don't even know if they were being used in child trafficking.

00:11:06.460 We can't find the parents.

00:11:08.560 Now, let me ask you this, Pat, your child's missing.

00:11:14.720 Your child has been taken by the U.S. government.

00:11:18.120 You were here illegally, but you were a good family.

00:11:22.260 You were just a good family person.

00:11:24.200 You know, you were just coming here for, you know, the, you know, the access to Orange Julius because you heard that we had more of them because they've all gone out of business in Mexico.

00:11:36.100 Okay, and you are, your name is Julius, and you're like, I made the best Orange Juliuses, and I'm going to be able to be the king of the Orange Julius, you know, Mecca here in America. 0.68

00:11:50.560 You've been lied to, but you're a good person.

00:11:53.440 When you hear that your child is by law to be returned to you, are you hard to find?

00:12:07.020 No.

00:12:09.380 How?

00:12:12.760 Well, I mean, I'd probably get my child back, and then we would just disappear into the country.

00:12:20.420 Yeah, no, but I mean, as is so often happening.

00:12:22.920 Yeah, but I mean, if you were, I mean, if your child was lost, how could the United States of America find you?

00:12:29.120 How could they find me?

00:12:29.800 Yeah.

00:12:30.680 I mean, you wouldn't call them or text message or email.

00:12:34.140 Could they find me in Orange Julius?

00:12:36.780 Well, if they knew about the Orange Julius thing, maybe.

00:12:39.740 But they don't know about that.

00:12:40.760 They don't know about that.

00:12:42.080 Would you make yourself hard to be found by the government?

00:12:45.820 Or would you be calling ICE from wherever it is you are?

00:12:50.440 I'd want my child back.

00:12:51.380 You'd want your child back.

00:12:52.960 Yes, I'd be calling.

00:12:54.400 I'd be calling. 0.94

00:12:55.680 It's ridiculous. 0.82

00:12:56.940 It is ridiculous to assume that if you are separated from your child and the United States government can't find you. 0.97

00:13:09.100 You don't make a phone call?

00:13:10.460 I don't.

00:13:12.000 It is strange, isn't it?

00:13:13.060 It is a little strange that you would be considered a parent worthy going back to.

00:13:19.520 But you can't bring that up because that's hateful, I guess.

00:13:24.520 I know.

00:13:25.000 I know.

00:13:26.100 I know.

00:13:26.540 I know. 0.99

00:13:26.860 It's like, you know, these ridiculous stories. 1.00

00:13:30.800 Oh, somebody's going to come across the border, you know, and cut somebody's head off. 0.99

00:13:35.500 I know. 0.99

00:13:36.600 It's crazy.

00:13:45.860 Hey, I want to thank our sponsor this half hour.

00:13:47.740 How did you sleep last night?

00:13:49.580 I had a great night's sleep.

00:13:51.340 I had one of those nights where you wake up and you just wake up naturally and you're like, oh, wait, what time is it?

00:14:03.300 And you're fully rested.

00:14:05.520 I love those nights.

00:14:07.460 I even better are the nights that you wake up at one o'clock in the morning and you're like, oh, it's about time to get up.

00:14:13.260 I know it is.

00:14:14.160 Because you're not rested.

00:14:15.900 And then you wake up and you just look at the clock and it's one o'clock.

00:14:19.680 You're like, oh, my gosh, four more hours of sleep.

00:14:22.520 If you can imagine a great night's sleep and you're not experiencing it, you need a Casper mattress.

00:14:31.400 Try it out from your own home for 100 nights risk free.

00:14:34.740 If you if you don't love it, they come and pick it up.

00:14:37.760 It's a unique combination of foams that provide the right pressure relief and alignment.

00:14:42.700 So you feel perfectly balanced and comfortable.

00:14:44.940 And it is a new kind of foam mattress.

00:14:48.080 So it has it's breathable.

00:14:49.660 So it's not the I mean, the fires of hell hot Casper dot com use the promo code back the best night's sleep.

00:14:59.280 Otherwise, they return every single dime test drive it every night for 100 nights Casper dot com.

00:15:06.860 Use the promo code back.

00:15:08.180 That's Casper dot com promo code back.

00:15:13.140 Glenn Beck.

00:15:14.100 So the slaying of this of this 13 year old girl who is handicapped that came out June 14th.

00:15:26.080 So two days ago, this happened two month and two days ago.

00:15:30.600 You know why you always like 16th.

00:15:33.120 Why you always have to nitpick June, July.

00:15:35.680 It's the same thing.

00:15:37.300 Two days ago this happened.

00:15:39.960 And now you're trying to make it into a big deal that nobody is reported on this, you know, in two days.

00:15:46.900 You know, news doesn't travel that fast.

00:15:50.420 Here's this 13 year old kid whose head was sawed off in Alabama, sawed off in a cemetery.

00:15:59.880 Where's the news on this now?

00:16:06.820 Now, you know, I know what you're thinking.

00:16:10.940 Here's two businessmen who are just trying to make ends meet, who are just trying to protect another small independent businessman and his.

00:16:22.840 Cartel and they is midsize cartel midsize.

00:16:30.620 It's not even the biggest.

00:16:32.480 It's a midsize cartel.

00:16:34.520 And this girl, she I mean, she obviously she was handicapped. 1.00

00:16:39.160 She didn't have any real quality of life.

00:16:43.800 Did she?

00:16:44.860 She didn't have any quality of life. 0.92

00:16:46.920 I mean, if we could have just if we could have just had a free universal abortions and even, you know, the ability to judge a child, you know, you're born with handicap, you know, problems. 0.87

00:17:03.820 We probably should eliminate you then, too, because you're going to have no quality of life. 0.77

00:17:08.700 So what we're really saying here is because it's taken a month and two days before I've even seen this story. 0.99

00:17:22.160 Are we as a society saying that she that her life didn't matter because that's what it seems like a 13 year old girl can have her head sawed off.

00:17:34.240 By a drug cartel in Alabama.

00:17:40.700 And we don't we don't hear about that.

00:17:47.060 Does her life have no value?

00:17:53.880 Did her life have any meaning?

00:18:00.020 Her name was Maria Lopez.

00:18:04.240 I think her life had meaning.

00:18:12.800 If we remember her.

00:18:22.020 He switched topics.

00:18:23.320 What is it with Elon Musk and the the Thai cave dweller heroes?

00:18:32.100 Yeah.

00:18:33.380 Is it ill advised tweets?

00:18:36.200 Maybe.

00:18:36.860 Maybe.

00:18:37.920 But it's deeper than that.

00:18:39.480 There's like he's like I don't know what's going on with this.

00:18:43.700 If you don't know, he tweeted this weekend that one of the, quote, heroes was, quote, most likely a child molester. 0.99

00:18:54.120 Well, he said he was a pedophile, a pedo guy, a pedo guy. 0.99

00:18:58.300 OK, so he was a basically he's a pedophile, a pedophile. 1.00

00:19:01.980 That's what he was implying. 0.97

00:19:03.220 Yeah.

00:19:04.060 Yeah.

00:19:04.660 There's no doubt about it.

00:19:05.440 And when he was called on it, he said, I'll bet you a dollar with my signature on it that it's true.

00:19:12.900 Well, OK, and it started because this guy called into question his submarine that he brought over there.

00:19:23.260 Yeah.

00:19:23.560 And and the guy said that it was just a publicity stunt on the part of Elon Musk.

00:19:28.520 And that had no chance of ever working out.

00:19:32.160 And I think that pissed off Elon a little bit.

00:19:36.600 Yeah. 0.71

00:19:37.180 And so we called him a pedo guy. 0.97

00:19:38.480 You might not want to jump right to pedophile, you know, or child molester. 0.96

00:19:44.680 You may not want to jump right to that, Elon.

00:19:47.820 It might be hazardous to your bank account just slightly.

00:19:51.960 Back in just a second.

00:19:53.060 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:19:59.600 Welcome to the welcome to the program.

00:20:02.280 We're glad you're here.

00:20:04.200 There's a couple of things that I want to point out.

00:20:09.680 Apparently, Prince Charles and Prince William refused to attend a reception held by Queen Elizabeth for Donald Trump refused.

00:20:20.520 This is a highly unusual occurrence.

00:20:24.600 People who watch these kinds of things.

00:20:27.720 Wow.

00:20:28.380 They need a life.

00:20:29.560 But the people who watch these kinds of things that they can't remember the last time that the queen went something like this unaccompanied.

00:20:35.940 She was left alone with the Trumps.

00:20:39.500 And God only knows what could have happened.

00:20:41.800 But apparently, the prior engagements, Prince Charles had a police event, and William took part in a polo match.

00:20:54.420 Oh, well, obviously, then you can't.

00:20:56.580 I mean, you can't interrupt your polo match for the president of the United States, leader of the free world.

00:21:02.220 No.

00:21:03.120 These guys are big lefties.

00:21:04.640 You know they hate him with a passion.

00:21:07.700 Well, I mean, you know, between the Duke of Edinburgh, who believes literally that people are akin to a virus, I mean, you know, they're big-time lefties.

00:21:23.540 Big-time lefties.

00:21:24.320 It's amazing to me how Britain has treated this president when they fell all over Barack Obama.

00:21:31.380 They loved Barack Obama.

00:21:32.980 Barack Obama hated them. 0.96

00:21:34.720 Hated the British. 0.54

00:21:35.440 Kenya was a British colony, and his family, up to and including his dad, infected him with an incredible deep-seated hatred for colonialism and for the British Empire.

00:21:49.400 He hated the British.

00:21:50.340 One of his first acts was to send back the bust of Winston Churchill. 0.59

00:21:54.640 Yeah, an incredible slap in the face.

00:21:56.900 I mean, the press is making such a big deal out of, oh, my gosh, look at what Donald Trump said about Theresa May and Brexit.

00:22:07.900 Yeah, yeah.

00:22:09.780 You remember that Donald Trump gave the prime minister the bust back and said, here, take this with you?

00:22:19.180 You remember that?

00:22:19.940 I mean, there couldn't be a bigger slam than that.

00:22:24.400 This is on global policy. 0.96

00:22:27.000 That was on, I hate you and your customs and your people, your history. 1.00

00:22:32.240 And yet, they fell all over him.

00:22:34.180 Yeah.

00:22:34.440 All over.

00:22:34.980 They just invited the Obamas to the royal wedding.

00:22:38.120 The Harry and Markle thing?

00:22:41.680 Jeez.

00:22:43.020 It's agonizing.

00:22:43.680 Whereas, you know, Trump, I mean, he's...

00:22:48.000 He's probably a fan.

00:22:50.060 I'm sure he's a fan.

00:22:51.600 Yes, he's indelicate.

00:22:55.280 There's maybe some things he shouldn't have said to the British press as he's coming into the country to spend time with Theresa May.

00:23:01.340 Right.

00:23:01.980 But I think at least he's a friend to the Brits.

00:23:05.760 Yeah, I mean, and he's got gold in his house.

00:23:08.240 They have gold in their house.

00:23:09.640 Right.

00:23:09.900 They have a lot in common.

00:23:11.200 A lot in common.

00:23:11.760 They all have those really uncomfortable old chairs.

00:23:15.640 I mean, you know, you look at Donald...

00:23:17.900 Think of Donald Trump's house and think, is there a chair in that house that you're like, oh, man, I could just sit all day in that chair and read.

00:23:24.740 There's not one.

00:23:25.540 Nope.

00:23:26.100 Not one.

00:23:27.220 Think of Buckingham Palace.

00:23:28.820 Same thing.

00:23:29.440 Same thing.

00:23:31.140 Same thing.

00:23:32.260 There's not a chair in either of their house.

00:23:34.180 They have a lot in common.

00:23:36.320 Where Barack Obama, what did he have?

00:23:39.300 And did he even really have that?

00:23:42.520 Or did he get that from his dad?

00:23:45.500 The hatred?

00:23:46.880 I think it came.

00:23:47.720 I think it was one of the dreams from his father.

00:23:50.400 The hatred of the British.

00:23:53.000 His father fought hard against the British Empire.

00:23:57.680 You can kind of understand it.

00:23:59.140 You can.

00:23:59.420 My father fought hard for the use of real butter.

00:24:03.160 And I got that from my dad.

00:24:05.180 That's a very similar situation.

00:24:06.060 I got that from my dad.

00:24:07.420 I got this love for butter from my father.

00:24:09.660 You got that right from your dad.

00:24:10.640 Right from my dad.

00:24:11.340 He was like, no margarine.

00:24:13.200 Not in this house.

00:24:14.340 Not in our bakery.

00:24:15.740 We use real ingredients.

00:24:17.220 And that was a long time ago, too, when people thought it was healthier.

00:24:19.400 He took a stand.

00:24:20.420 He took a stand against that.

00:24:22.220 And it was, I know you better, but some people might think you're mocking, but I know you

00:24:29.000 understand.

00:24:29.760 I do.

00:24:31.120 For instance, imagine a world without colonialism.

00:24:36.180 I can imagine that.

00:24:37.520 That's okay.

00:24:38.040 Okay.

00:24:38.380 Yeah.

00:24:39.120 Imagine a world without butter.

00:24:41.520 No.

00:24:42.080 That's inconceivable.

00:24:43.100 No.

00:24:43.300 Whose dad was more right?

00:24:45.340 Yours.

00:24:46.300 Yours was.

00:24:47.220 I mean, colonialism is just kind of going out.

00:24:49.480 It's just out of fashion.

00:24:50.440 Mm-hmm.

00:24:51.300 Butter?

00:24:52.360 They tried to shove it out.

00:24:54.180 They did.

00:24:54.440 No, they won't.

00:24:55.200 And it's made a really strong comeback.

00:24:59.200 It really has.

00:25:00.080 Yeah.

00:25:00.400 Even though it's not really good for you, we now acknowledge it's at least better for

00:25:05.820 you than the other thing they came up with.

00:25:07.720 The margarine.

00:25:08.240 It's like if you have, think of bread.

00:25:13.920 Mm-hmm.

00:25:14.840 Good.

00:25:15.420 Fresh bread right out of the oven.

00:25:17.060 Right?

00:25:17.520 Mm-hmm.

00:25:18.180 It's good.

00:25:19.020 It's delicious.

00:25:19.720 Do you eat it if there's no butter in the house?

00:25:22.220 I do not.

00:25:22.840 I do not.

00:25:23.180 I go get butter.

00:25:24.160 I go get butter.

00:25:24.760 And I bring it back to the house, then I eat it.

00:25:26.180 You need, but bread is nothing more than a butter delivery system.

00:25:29.640 That's all it is.

00:25:31.100 That's all it is.

00:25:31.920 Yes.

00:25:32.800 Yes.

00:25:33.120 So some would add jam as well.

00:25:36.460 It's a butter and jam delivery system.

00:25:38.800 Well, if you want to get fancy.

00:25:40.300 Yeah.

00:25:41.000 If you want to get fancy.

00:25:43.420 So I think you're right.

00:25:44.680 I think your dad was smarter than Barack Obama's dad.

00:25:49.180 And more relevant, frankly.

00:25:51.200 I think so.

00:25:51.940 I think so.

00:25:53.320 You know, you got to remember, what are you passing on to your kids?

00:25:55.800 A hatred of colonialism or a love of butter?

00:26:01.380 Which is more important?

00:26:05.160 I say love over hate every time.

00:26:07.020 Every time.

00:26:07.460 Love over hate.

00:26:08.660 Love over hate.

00:26:13.080 Did you see that they're really upset about Donald Trump sitting in Winston Churchill's chair?

00:26:17.500 Yes.

00:26:18.280 He did look arrogant in that chair, but he doesn't have any other... 0.67

00:26:21.180 Doesn't he look like Donald Trump? 0.87

00:26:22.180 I know.

00:26:23.140 That's the only look he has.

00:26:24.040 Show me a picture.

00:26:25.120 It is.

00:26:26.060 You know, resting nasty face? 0.99

00:26:28.460 He has resting arrogant face. 0.99

00:26:33.520 He does. 0.97

00:26:34.020 He always looks arrogant.

00:26:35.300 He does. 0.60

00:26:35.900 Did you see him sitting in that chair, how arrogant?

00:26:38.120 No, I looked at him like, no, I looked like Donald Trump.

00:26:40.820 And the headline was, how dare you?

00:26:43.040 Since when do you people care about Winston Churchill?

00:26:45.660 You hated him.

00:26:47.120 You hated him before the war.

00:26:48.700 You hated him kind of during the war.

00:26:51.320 And you really hated him after the war.

00:26:54.040 You tossed him out twice.

00:26:57.220 Yeah.

00:26:57.480 Twice you tossed him out of parliament because, oh, I don't know, he had a thing against the

00:27:03.600 Nazis and you didn't want to hear it.

00:27:06.520 Then during the war, oh, please save us, Winston.

00:27:09.740 Oh, please save us.

00:27:12.000 The minute, I mean, almost to the minute.

00:27:15.240 Yeah.

00:27:15.520 The minute the war was over, they voted him out.

00:27:18.360 See ya.

00:27:19.380 That's incredible.

00:27:20.260 And now they're all indignant because Donald Trump sat in his chair. 1.00

00:27:23.560 Shut up. 1.00

00:27:24.600 Shut up. 1.00

00:27:26.300 Don't make us come over there and dog slap you again because we'll do it. 1.00

00:27:29.900 We'll do it. 0.62

00:27:30.380 You want us to give you something to cry about?

00:27:33.020 We'll give you something to cry about.

00:27:34.360 We'll give you something to cry about.

00:27:34.960 Are you concerned at all that we're both kind of mad at England today, but anxious to see

00:27:47.160 what happens with Vladimir Putin?

00:27:48.980 I think that might be a concern.

00:27:52.940 It could be a concern that we're like that everybody in America, well, half the country,

00:27:58.120 half the country is, oh, by the way, did you see, speaking of half of the country, the New

00:28:02.980 York Times, did you see what the New York Times said about Donald Trump's meeting with

00:28:08.700 NATO?

00:28:10.240 No.

00:28:11.040 Oh, I have to, where is it?

00:28:13.840 I have it here someplace.

00:28:15.340 Oh, I have to, I have to, I have to read it to you.

00:28:18.140 You know what?

00:28:18.900 Let me take a break.

00:28:19.880 I'll come back.

00:28:20.480 I have to read it exactly as written from the New York Times.

00:28:25.340 How was Donald's, how was Donald Trump's trip with NATO?

00:28:29.040 How'd that work out?

00:28:30.320 How do you think the New York Times reported that?

00:28:34.360 The way you're setting it up now, I'm thinking maybe in a positive light.

00:28:39.820 Okay.

00:28:40.580 Well, we'll go to that here in a second.

00:28:42.980 First, let me tell you about, let me tell you about something that's happening on Thursday.

00:28:48.140 If you don't want to be like Pat, you should join us on Thursday night.

00:28:54.660 Wow.

00:28:55.280 That kind of hurts.

00:28:56.320 Well, imagine a world where I wished I would have invested at 300 and then five.

00:29:02.860 Yes.

00:29:03.220 And then 750.

00:29:04.140 Right.

00:29:04.620 Imagine a world where you wish you would have invested in cryptocurrency at 1500.

00:29:10.900 Or 2000.

00:29:11.820 Yeah.

00:29:12.000 Or three.

00:29:12.460 Or even 4,000.

00:29:14.240 Or five.

00:29:14.900 Five would have been good.

00:29:16.540 Six.

00:29:16.960 Take six.

00:29:18.160 I take six.

00:29:19.160 I made money on six.

00:29:19.680 Now, imagine if you were working at a place where the guys that you were working with said

00:29:25.220 to you every day, really, Pat?

00:29:26.680 Really?

00:29:27.000 Really?

00:29:27.300 Seriously?

00:29:27.820 Seriously?

00:29:28.800 Buy one.

00:29:29.300 Buy one.

00:29:30.160 Just buy one.

00:29:33.040 Yeah.

00:29:33.320 So, if you don't want to be like Pat, you should join us on Thursday because we're having

00:29:39.560 a crypto event.

00:29:41.440 It's a free Bitcoin and cryptocurrency chalkboard program that I think is really, really invaluable.

00:29:48.560 Tika Tiwari is a guy that is consulting with us, and we asked him to do a course online.

00:29:54.460 It has been outrageously successful.

00:29:56.400 So, we've decided to have a Q&A session after he teaches a few things on the chalkboard about

00:30:03.820 cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin in particular.

00:30:08.320 I want you to register now.

00:30:09.560 It's absolutely free, but you have to register.

00:30:12.420 Go to BeckCryptoShow.com.

00:30:15.020 That's BeckCryptoShow.com.

00:30:17.560 This is the only place you're going to be able to find this.

00:30:20.120 You'll be joining and watching us on Thursday night.

00:30:23.000 Tika is going to share the names of three cryptocurrencies that he says you absolutely must buy.

00:30:30.200 Pat, are you listening?

00:30:31.640 I am.

00:30:32.200 Okay.

00:30:32.620 Yes, I am.

00:30:33.220 Three that you have to buy.

00:30:34.480 Plus, you have a chance to walk away with $2 million, a $2 million crypto giveaway.

00:30:40.420 Go to BeckCryptoShow.com.

00:30:43.820 Don't miss this.

00:30:45.440 It is Thursday.

00:30:47.760 BeckCryptoShow.com.

00:30:49.300 Register now.

00:30:53.000 So, here is the editorial from the New York Times editorial board.

00:30:59.720 This is their editorial.

00:31:01.740 Ready?

00:31:03.900 Trump got from NATO everything Obama ever asked for.

00:31:10.180 Wow.

00:31:11.980 Let me quote the New York Times.

00:31:14.860 Now that the smoke has cleared from the NATO summit meeting, the most tangible result is apparent.

00:31:21.120 President Trump advanced President Barack Obama's initiative to keep the allies on track

00:31:25.600 to shoulder a more equitable share of NATO's costs.

00:31:29.800 Mr. Trump even signed on to a tough statement directed at Russia.

00:31:34.580 For once, he saw eye to eye with his predecessor.

00:31:38.640 For once.

00:31:39.700 For once.

00:31:40.520 He saw eye to eye.

00:31:41.360 But his predecessor couldn't get it done, could he?

00:31:46.000 That's amazing.

00:31:48.380 It's almost impossible to believe.

00:31:51.520 Are you sure that's not some satirical website claiming to be the New York Times?

00:31:55.440 No, it's New York Times.

00:31:57.760 Tremendous progress has been made.

00:31:59.500 Everyone agreed to substantially up their commitment.

00:32:02.480 They're going to up it at levels they've never seen before, Trump said.

00:32:06.500 Commitments were made.

00:32:07.460 The commitment was at 2%.

00:32:08.840 Ultimately, that will be going up quite a bit higher than that.

00:32:14.080 They didn't exactly agree to 4%, right?

00:32:16.280 Which is what he was asking.

00:32:17.520 He was asking for 4%.

00:32:18.820 Right.

00:32:19.440 And I think they're going to do 3%.

00:32:20.780 2% is the deal.

00:32:22.560 Yeah.

00:32:23.420 I personally just think, all right, well, we'll be at 2%.

00:32:26.980 Just, why are we doing 8?

00:32:29.400 Why are we doing 5?

00:32:30.640 Why are we doing 3.5?

00:32:31.960 It's 2.

00:32:33.240 Yeah.

00:32:33.440 They've never paid 2.

00:32:35.280 We've never paid less than 3.5.

00:32:38.460 The contract says 2.

00:32:41.060 We should pay 2.

00:32:42.780 We do the same thing with the UN.

00:32:44.360 We foot that whole load, too.

00:32:46.480 And that one, I know what we get from NATO.

00:32:49.680 That one, I just don't know what we get.

00:32:51.600 Completely worthless.

00:32:52.360 There was also an interview with Donald Trump.

00:32:58.160 And, you know, last week, last week he said some good things.

00:33:02.740 And I was, I thought maybe, you know, he was.

00:33:06.560 We applauded him for what he said about Putin.

00:33:08.080 You got to take the good with the bad.

00:33:09.980 Or you got to take the bad with the good.

00:33:11.700 And there's been some good.

00:33:13.360 Last week, there was some real good.

00:33:17.020 Today, this has come out.

00:33:19.160 Listen to this.

00:33:19.700 The Russians who were indicted, would you ask Putin to send them here?

00:33:25.160 Well, I might.

00:33:25.960 I hadn't thought of that.

00:33:26.880 But certainly, I'll be asking about it.

00:33:28.500 Maybe you don't volunteer that, either.

00:33:30.260 Yeah.

00:33:30.560 I hadn't thought of that.

00:33:31.900 I hadn't thought of that.

00:33:32.320 Wait, you hadn't thought of that?

00:33:33.660 Your Justice Department.

00:33:35.220 What?

00:33:36.000 On Friday, they just indicted these people.

00:33:39.460 On Friday.

00:33:41.080 Did you know that?

00:33:43.060 Strange.

00:33:43.860 Yeah, that's really strange.

00:33:45.300 Let's keep that in our inside voice.

00:33:46.800 Yeah, that I hadn't thought of that.

00:33:48.700 Indictment.

00:33:49.180 Who's been in?

00:33:50.080 What is?

00:33:50.820 When?

00:33:51.480 I didn't know.

00:33:52.060 Really?

00:33:52.280 Again, this was during the Obama administration.

00:33:54.480 They were doing whatever it was during the Obama administration.

00:33:57.380 Stop.

00:33:59.040 This is confusing to me.

00:34:01.440 This is the Obama administration.

00:34:02.960 This happened during the Obama.

00:34:06.040 Yes.

00:34:07.440 And you found out about it during your administration.

00:34:11.660 I mean, it's like, hey, they were doing it then.

00:34:14.600 Not now.

00:34:15.320 Yeah.

00:34:15.500 No, they're still doing it.

00:34:16.820 Yeah.

00:34:16.980 They're still doing it.

00:34:18.600 And I heard that they were trying, or people were trying to hack into the RNC, too, the

00:34:24.680 Republican National Committee.

00:34:26.360 Wait.

00:34:26.760 But we had much better defenses.

00:34:28.480 I've been told that by a number of people.

00:34:30.320 We had.

00:34:30.780 He's heard it.

00:34:31.520 He's been told that by a number of people.

00:34:33.040 Wait, wait, wait.

00:34:33.700 Keep going over it.

00:34:34.360 There was the barista who told him that.

00:34:36.300 7-Eleven clerk said it.

00:34:37.620 Oh, my God.

00:34:38.100 I mean, where?

00:34:39.600 I love how he just throws his stuff out.

00:34:41.540 He said, I heard.

00:34:42.400 I heard.

00:34:43.020 Mr. President, nobody has access to more information than you.

00:34:46.960 You can get all information.

00:34:49.940 You know, I heard from CNBC.

00:34:52.440 I heard from the guy who opened my car door the other day that, you know, Mr. President,

00:34:58.240 do you get a briefing?

00:35:00.240 Do you?

00:35:00.620 I know you get one.

00:35:02.020 I know you get one.

00:35:03.040 And unlike your predecessor, you attend them.

00:35:06.580 Are you listening?

00:35:07.980 Again, you take the bad with the good.

00:35:09.280 Yes, yes, yes.

00:35:09.740 There were some good last week.

00:35:10.940 Much better defenses, so they couldn't.

00:35:12.200 I think the DNC should be ashamed of themselves for allowing themselves to be hacked.

00:35:18.240 They had bad defenses, and they were able to be hacked.

00:35:21.220 But I heard they were trying to hack the Republicans, too.

00:35:24.480 But, and this may be wrong, but they had much stronger defenses.

00:35:29.200 Wait.

00:35:29.500 And it may be wrong.

00:35:30.160 It may be wrong.

00:35:31.480 Wait, what?

00:35:32.100 Then why are you saying it?

00:35:33.360 What is happening?

00:35:37.380 Mr. President, you have the NSA and the CIA and the FBI.

00:35:42.680 You've got access.

00:35:43.580 You can call them at any time.

00:35:45.740 I can't.

00:35:46.760 You can.

00:35:48.120 I've heard, and it might be wrong.

00:35:51.700 No.

00:35:52.540 No.

00:35:53.000 Who's your biggest competitor, your biggest foe globally right now?

00:35:57.520 Well, I think we have a lot of foes.

00:35:59.020 I think the European Union is a foe, what they do to us in trade.

00:36:02.660 No, no, no.

00:36:03.200 You wouldn't think of the European Union, but they're a foe.

00:36:06.300 Oh, boy.

00:36:06.820 Oh, no.

00:36:07.580 You can't call Russia a competitor and the European Union a foe.

00:36:12.980 No, honey.

00:36:13.920 No.

00:36:14.260 No.

00:36:14.660 No.

00:36:15.460 No.

00:36:16.100 Again, you take the bad with the good.

00:36:18.340 Let's see what happens today.

00:36:19.780 Yes.

00:36:20.040 Because he's with Putin today.

00:36:21.220 It might be good.

00:36:21.840 Maybe we get out of Syria today. 1.00

00:36:23.560 Who knows?

00:36:24.120 Wouldn't that be nice?

00:36:24.720 Who knows?

00:36:25.520 Back in a minute.

00:36:26.280 Glenn Beck.

00:36:29.840 Ninety-two percent of the world's nuclear weapons are in two countries.

00:36:34.260 Ninety-two percent.

00:36:35.300 The U.S.

00:36:35.840 and Russia.

00:36:37.160 And as I'm speaking right now, the leaders of both countries are sitting down at a table

00:36:41.320 and trying to figure out how to coexist with one another.

00:36:44.100 Sounds like it's kind of an important thing to do from time to time.

00:36:48.860 The media will, you know, slap fight and slap fight each other to death today in an attempt

00:36:55.880 to turn the Trump-Putin summit partisan.

00:36:59.100 But what's happening in Helsinki today is probably the least partisan thing happening anywhere right

00:37:06.280 now.

00:37:07.240 Like anywhere.

00:37:08.860 Like as in the entire planet, there's nothing more important that may be happening.

00:37:14.940 If there was ever a time to not be partisan, this is it.

00:37:20.780 To any Democrat, Republican, any independent, mainstream media, anybody who's looking to

00:37:29.280 turn this into a gotcha political narrative, what the hell is wrong with you?

00:37:33.480 Seriously. 0.98

00:37:34.840 What is wrong with you?

00:37:37.060 We know who Russia is. 0.97

00:37:39.240 We know what Vladimir Putin is. 1.00

00:37:41.200 He's a stone-cold killer. 0.98

00:37:43.060 Now, the president may be going into this naively. 0.99

00:37:47.900 He may not be.

00:37:49.920 He may be going in with, I don't know what his intent is.

00:37:54.540 But I will tell you, I've, out of all the things, and I've thought a lot, out of all

00:37:59.820 the things I've ever thought of Donald Trump, I've never thought he didn't like America.

00:38:05.060 He wasn't rooting for us to win.

00:38:07.520 Now, the last time the U.S. and the Russians sat down for a summit was 2010, eight years ago.

00:38:17.380 And here's a small rundown of how cold our relationship has been since then.

00:38:22.160 Russia still has troops in Georgia after their invasion during Obama's first term.

00:38:27.900 Keep in mind, Georgia was a country considering joining NATO, not anymore.

00:38:34.280 That invasion was Russia's coming out party. 0.98

00:38:37.420 It was a warning to the world that things were about to change, and they were just getting started.

00:38:42.880 They then wanted to annex, steal, invade Crimea from Ukraine.

00:38:49.440 They'd also invade, destabilize, and wage war in eastern Ukraine.

00:38:55.020 That war is still going on.

00:38:57.500 But rarely does the media talk about it anymore.

00:39:01.020 And then there's the backdrop to that invasion and silent war.

00:39:06.280 The accusations from the Russians that the United States deliberately encouraged the fall of the Ukrainian president and government.

00:39:14.540 Meanwhile, Russia continues supplying troops and equipment to their side.

00:39:19.940 And we're now providing military training and anti-tank missiles to our side.

00:39:25.180 And Ukraine is just one of the proxy wars currently being fought between the two nuclear powers.

00:39:31.460 Syria is the other. 0.95

00:39:33.340 First, you don't fight.

00:39:35.720 Then you argue.

00:39:37.380 Then things get nasty.

00:39:39.620 Then you start to fight proxy wars.

00:39:42.580 We're in two of them.

00:39:43.660 The next step, there's only two.

00:39:48.080 You back away and you stop the proxy war.

00:39:52.300 Or you go to out-and-out war where you're slapping each other.

00:39:57.700 Not through other parties.

00:40:00.200 In April, we admitted to killing nearly 200 Russians in that conflict.

00:40:05.900 So where do we go here?

00:40:07.400 Where do we go?

00:40:08.020 Over the past four years, over 700 Russian citizens and companies have been sanctioned.

00:40:14.820 35 diplomats have been declared persona non grata.

00:40:18.800 Two Russian diplomat compounds have been closed.

00:40:21.960 One consulate and two diplomatic annexes.

00:40:25.500 Oh, and Russia has ejected over 700 U.S. diplomatic staff.

00:40:33.140 I thought the media didn't have a problem with Russia.

00:40:39.360 I thought the media was always for anything.

00:40:43.460 Anything, anything Russia wants to do, let's just not get into a war with them.

00:40:50.320 No, not today.

00:40:52.100 Between the cyber attacks and indictments on Russian intelligence personnel, tensions have never been higher.

00:40:58.220 Russia currently maintains an arsenal of 6,600 nuclear weapons.

00:41:03.980 We have 6,450.

00:41:08.660 The next closest nukeholder, France with 300. 0.93

00:41:12.840 China with 280.

00:41:14.520 It's not even close.

00:41:16.300 Between Washington and Moscow, there are over 13,000 nuclear weapons and they're pointed at each other.

00:41:23.280 So today, could we, today, stop with the partisan politics?

00:41:29.280 The two toughest kids on the block just sat down for a sit-down.

00:41:36.080 You know what I'm saying?

00:41:36.960 A little sit-down.

00:41:39.240 I think maybe, perhaps, the rest of us in the neighborhood should all be praying for some sort of success.

00:41:50.420 It's Monday, July 16th.

00:41:52.680 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:41:54.560 A couple weeks ago, we had Selena Zito on and Brad Todd. 0.77

00:42:00.280 They authored the book, The Great Revolt, inside the populist coalition reshaping American politics.

00:42:06.860 And I learned so much about the supporters of Donald Trump that you just don't hear anywhere, anywhere.

00:42:16.800 For instance, a good number of Trump supporters are what used to be called Reagan Democrats.

00:42:22.740 These are Trump Democrats.

00:42:26.080 These are the people that voted Democrat, voted for Barack Obama, and have had enough, and have left their party to come over and vote for Donald Trump.

00:42:36.740 And they are very vocal supporters.

00:42:39.320 How come we don't hear about that?

00:42:41.000 Why is it just the evil Republicans that you hear of?

00:42:47.280 And a lot of Trump supports coming not from Republicans, but from the people who have never voted, haven't voted since Ross Perot.

00:42:57.300 How come we didn't hear that?

00:42:59.680 Brad Todd joins us now.

00:43:00.920 He's the guy who did all of the research.

00:43:02.540 Hello, Brad.

00:43:02.920 How are you?

00:43:04.360 I'm great, Glenn.

00:43:05.200 Good morning.

00:43:05.700 Thanks for having me.

00:43:06.440 Yeah, so I just wanted to drill down a little bit more into some of the research and what you found so you can kind of help us out and set the record straight on who is the Trump coalition.

00:43:22.080 Sure.

00:43:22.480 Well, we conducted our research both quantitatively and qualitatively.

00:43:27.680 We did a survey of 2,000 Trump voters in the five Midwestern states that flipped, geographically stratified to reflect the actual distribution of Trump's vote.

00:43:37.280 And then we traveled.

00:43:38.640 You know, Selena, as you know, is famous for taking back roads and living on the road in small-town America and industrial America and interviewed hundreds of people, 0.68

00:43:48.520 end up with the profiles of about 24 people who we say represent seven archetypes of the Trump coalition.

00:43:56.100 Now, they're not every person in the Trump coalition represented in one of those seven archetypes, but most of them are.

00:44:01.300 And some of them are people, like you say, who came off the sidelines.

00:44:04.920 We call them the shock troops of American democracy, those voters who only get interested once in a blue moon, but when they do, they radically change the composition of the electorate.

00:44:14.180 And, you know, that happened for, in Trump's case, both in the Republican nominating process and in the general election.

00:44:21.900 You know, in Pennsylvania, which has a closed primary, you have to change your registration to participate in either side's, the other side's primary.

00:44:29.380 You had 30,000 voters change their registration to go from Democrat to Republican to go vote in the Republican primary.

00:44:36.120 Well, Donald Trump ends up only winning Pennsylvania by 70-something thousand voters in the general.

00:44:39.960 So, presumably, most of that 30,000 group of voters who were coming in to help him in the primary stuck with him in the general.

00:44:48.300 You know, these things make real, real differences numerically.

00:44:52.180 You also, you know, find in the book, if you pick up the book for the Great Revolt, you'll see some people who, one woman who didn't register to vote until she was 70. 0.71

00:45:00.520 Trump was the first candidate for president she's ever voted for.

00:45:03.780 It didn't mean she didn't care about national affairs.

00:45:05.860 It's just she didn't think that anyone was different enough to make a difference in politics. 0.60

00:45:11.040 And that element is often lost of this voter that Trump brought in.

00:45:16.040 And, by the way, those voters are among the least ideological of Trump's coalition, the least conservative.

00:45:21.500 They're the most secular in Trump's coalition.

00:45:24.660 They're people who saw in him something that was different from most people in politics.

00:45:30.900 And, you know, I read media accounts all the time, Glenn, of editorials, who say, oh, we need more people to vote.

00:45:35.700 We need higher participation in elections.

00:45:38.020 Well, you get 2016, you got it.

00:45:41.240 What percentage of Trump voters is that?

00:45:45.160 I think it's about six, based on our look at the data.

00:45:49.140 Five somewhere in the, that's a little bit, you know, obviously we can't be quite that precise, but somewhere in the five to seven percent range.

00:45:55.060 But that's pretty, that's a pretty large, large portion of an electorate, an election where, where, where Donald Trump only wins, you know, those states in the Midwest by just a handful of votes.

00:46:05.320 You know, Michigan flips and Wisconsin flip with 10,000 votes.

00:46:08.460 Pennsylvania flips with 70,000 votes.

00:46:10.480 So, so five percent, pretty, five to seven percent is a pretty big number.

00:46:15.500 You said that this, this new populism, if you will, is actually a movement against bigness.

00:46:23.300 What does that mean?

00:46:24.340 Yes.

00:46:25.560 Well, you know, there was a time in American politics when populism meant you were against Wall Street and big economic powers.

00:46:34.820 That's the way we've understood populism, both in the 1800s and again, and again in the 20s.

00:46:39.880 That's different now because government now is just as large a threat to people's everyday lives as big economic powers are.

00:46:47.840 In fact, big tech, the tech industry that has so many, so much of our information that sells it, doesn't tell us how it's selling it, doesn't tell us how it's monetizing, what it knows about us.

00:46:58.080 But the tech industry is also a threat to media, which has become so homogenous at the mainstream level.

00:47:04.100 And, you know, you can't find a newsroom that's ideologically diverse in America anymore.

00:47:08.340 And so, therefore, today, the proper understanding of populism in today's culture is not just the skepticism of big corporations.

00:47:18.320 And, by the way, Trump's voters were skeptical of big corporations.

00:47:21.200 Three-fourths of them say that big corporations don't care about what happens to the little guy when they make their decisions.

00:47:27.140 That's a pretty high skepticism for the free market party.

00:47:30.120 But you also have big populism also – I mean, populism also incorporates skepticism of big government, big tech, big entertainment, big media.

00:47:37.760 And that's why the coalitions have shifted.

00:47:41.040 When populism was only a skepticism of large corporations, it fit well within the Democratic coalition,

00:47:47.120 especially when that coalition was dedicated to economic equality, ostensibly.

00:47:52.740 The politics of Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman, sort of the New Deal, Fair Deal Democratic Party,

00:47:58.020 where it's very focused on economics and very focused on the working class.

00:48:01.760 Today's Democratic Party is not focused on economic equality at all.

00:48:05.140 It's all about multicultural militancy. 0.99

00:48:08.520 And so that leaves little room for populism's basis, which is the look out for the little guy against the big guy.

00:48:16.080 But it's also now incompatible with the Democratic sort of homage to big government, big media, big entertainment, big tech.

00:48:24.680 Those are all Democratic constituencies.

00:48:26.860 So you can't quite be a populist and sit there.

00:48:29.660 I just wrote a new book that's coming out in September called Addicted to Outrage.

00:48:37.080 And in it, I talk about multiculturalism, that everybody's being called a racist today.

00:48:43.280 And it's not racism.

00:48:46.240 It's multiculturalism.

00:48:48.300 We don't have a problem with different races as much as we do. 0.66

00:48:54.280 I mean, I can't say that there's no one in America that's racist.

00:48:57.700 Of course, that's not true.

00:48:59.300 But that's not the overwhelming problem.

00:49:01.560 The real problem is this multiculturalism, where we are dividing and dividing and dividing 1.00

00:49:08.140 into all of these little groups, and a lot of them, by dividing us like this, means we're losing the American culture.

00:49:18.640 And once you say that, then you're called a racist again.

00:49:24.180 Is this what you found?

00:49:25.380 There's something to that.

00:49:28.680 It also goes to the thought police notion.

00:49:31.020 You know, the notion that Democrats now believe that free speech and freedom of religion are counter to their agenda.

00:49:39.920 Did we lose you?

00:49:44.180 Hello?

00:49:44.380 Whoa, that was weird.

00:49:49.340 Oh, my gosh.

00:49:50.660 It's AI.

00:49:51.980 It's taken over.

00:49:53.860 We thought we were talking to Brad Todd.

00:49:56.100 We're not.

00:49:56.560 We were talking to somebody in big tech.

00:49:59.120 An AI in big tech.

00:50:00.600 That's clearly what happened.

00:50:02.140 Either that or there was some sort of glitch.

00:50:05.240 If he doesn't call back, we're going to take a break.

00:50:07.060 If he doesn't call back, it's Mark Zuckerberg behind the whole thing.

00:50:12.280 So there you go.

00:50:13.480 You got that.

00:50:14.380 We'll get back with Brad here in just a second.

00:50:19.580 What are Americans thinking today?

00:50:22.160 And I'd love to see if he did any research at all on how Americans relate to Vladimir Putin as President Trump is with Putin at this hour.

00:50:33.200 All right.

00:50:33.420 Let me tell you about SimpliSafe.

00:50:34.680 SimpliSafe is a detail oriented company.

00:50:37.700 I mean, this is an alarm system that is really, really.

00:50:41.340 I mean, it really is just off the shelf so much better than all of the other alarm systems that you can get with any kind of added gadget.

00:50:52.120 For instance, here's an added gadget.

00:50:55.400 I want a glass break sensor, meaning if somebody breaks a window, the alarm goes off.

00:51:00.720 Now, this is a sound thing.

00:51:02.180 This isn't opening the window.

00:51:03.740 This is breaking a window.

00:51:05.300 Well, the problem with everybody's glass break sensors is they get fooled of false positive because you drop a plate, you drop a glass in the kitchen. 0.55

00:51:15.140 You know, even a baby crying fools most of them simply safe didn't settle for the typical.

00:51:21.700 What they did is they constructed a glass break test facility that ran over 10,000 live glass break simulations that refined their detection technology until it was absolutely accurate.

00:51:35.140 And it could distinguish between, you know, somebody dropping a glass in the kitchen and breaking a window.

00:51:41.860 This is the kind of level that takes them to just just to the highest possible quality.

00:51:49.760 And you're not going to believe the price.

00:51:51.880 I want you to check it out for yourself.

00:51:53.280 You own this system.

00:51:54.340 And the monitoring is only 15 bucks a month.

00:51:57.820 And there's no contracts.

00:51:59.620 There's no strings.

00:52:00.420 There's no wires.

00:52:01.400 It's simply safe.

00:52:07.820 Beck.com.

00:52:10.760 Talking to Brad Todd.

00:52:12.120 He is the co-author of the book.

00:52:14.380 The Great Revolt.

00:52:15.800 The Populist Coalition Reshaping American Politics.

00:52:18.860 He says, surprisingly, I'm being sarcastic there.

00:52:23.040 Uh, that, uh, that, uh, we, the, the Trump coalition is not who the mainstream media wants

00:52:31.340 you to believe they are.

00:52:33.400 Uh, welcome back to the program, Brad.

00:52:35.220 Uh, Brad, I, my, my perception of what's gone on the last two years is that Republicans

00:52:42.340 and Democrats have just switched places.

00:52:44.820 Republicans who were always leery, uh, and nervous about, uh, Putin and Russia are now completely

00:52:52.680 fine because it seems that their perception is Trump is fine with them.

00:52:56.560 Whereas Democrats who continually said, yeah, he's not a threat.

00:53:00.320 That's old school.

00:53:01.600 The eighties called and wants their policy back there.

00:53:04.380 They're now out of their minds, afraid of Putin.

00:53:06.920 And they think we should, I mean, is that an accurate portrayal of what's happened?

00:53:10.660 Is it just the R and the D that matter and no principles anymore? 0.58

00:53:15.000 No, you know what I think it is, is I think it's differing perceptions of Trump and different

00:53:18.940 trust levels of Trump.

00:53:20.440 Uh, there, there are a lot of Republicans who think that Trump is just such, such an

00:53:25.760 America first or, you know, Trump resists to almost all multilateral alliances.

00:53:29.800 And so therefore they then give him plenty of rope to interact on the world stage, uh,

00:53:37.140 and sort of what they would perceive as negotiate, take, you know, sort of move it, move our

00:53:41.420 posture, uh, for purposes of getting something better.

00:53:44.220 I think that meanwhile, Democrats wouldn't trust Trump to make a peanut butter sandwich.

00:53:48.240 And so therefore, you know, they, they much less negotiate with another world leader.

00:53:52.820 And so I think it's really not really changed perceptions of Russia.

00:53:56.420 Uh, most Republicans, most conservatives, most populist I've talked to still believe that, 0.77

00:54:00.560 you know, Vladimir Putin's a KGB bully.

00:54:02.840 Uh, you know, he's a, he's, he's, he's a ruthless guy who doesn't have America's interests 0.93

00:54:06.560 at work.

00:54:07.040 Um, and I think Republican voters will cheer hardline policies on Russia, but I think that

00:54:13.320 they also will, will give president Trump, you know, an ample amount of rope, uh, to,

00:54:19.640 to maneuver.

00:54:21.040 How much, Brad, how much of, I explained this on Friday as, uh, the way the OJ Simpson trial

00:54:29.080 went down, uh, me as a white man.

00:54:31.800 I didn't understand the frustration of, of fair trials or the system just so corrupt.

00:54:39.820 I didn't understand that.

00:54:41.340 And so when I saw, you know, African Americans celebrating his release, I couldn't understand 1.00

00:54:47.280 it at all.

00:54:48.460 Now they're saying, you know, African Americans, you've pulled them now.

00:54:51.800 And they're like, oh yeah, OJ Simpson, absolutely guilty.

00:54:54.360 But they, they were not rooting for him.

00:54:57.820 They were rooting for anybody to beat the system.

00:55:01.740 Is that true?

00:55:02.980 Does that play a role into the Trump voter now?

00:55:07.060 There is no question about it.

00:55:08.700 You know, as you mentioned earlier, a lot of Trump voters voted for, uh, president Obama

00:55:12.280 in our survey of Trump voters in the five Rust Belt states in the great revolt, uh, 21% of

00:55:17.740 the Trump voters in those Rust Belt, five Rust Belt states voted for Obama and 9% voted

00:55:22.300 twice.

00:55:22.820 Uh, so, uh, it's this, and by the way, he couldn't win without it.

00:55:28.260 Uh, you go look at Barack Obama's margins in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan.

00:55:32.980 There were more than enough Obama voters there for Hillary to win and win with ease, but she 1.00

00:55:37.560 couldn't keep the Obama coalition together.

00:55:39.760 So are they, are those people concerned about the Democrats taking such a hard left or they,

00:55:47.040 did they just like Donald Trump?

00:55:48.940 Well, there's a little bit of both things there.

00:55:51.920 I mean, they, they, they, the, the part they liked about Donald Trump is that he wasn't

00:55:55.640 much of a Republican.

00:55:56.940 Uh, you know, these are voters who've long resisted Republicans, even though that Republicans

00:56:01.060 agree with him more on religiosity, on issues of life, on the issues of guns.

00:56:06.440 Uh, they, they have, they've sort of agreed with Republicans on a lot of hot button issues

00:56:11.140 for years, but they've resisted becoming Republicans.

00:56:13.360 And we threw out our interviews in the book, you listen to people, they say, oh, the Republicans

00:56:17.080 are the country club party.

00:56:18.380 They're the people for the rich.

00:56:19.460 They're the insiders.

00:56:20.380 Yeah.

00:56:20.700 Trump wasn't the insider.

00:56:22.000 The name of the book is The Great Revolt.

00:56:24.280 Brad Todd, thanks.

00:56:29.620 From the Huffington Post, their Twitter account.

00:56:35.640 A tape might exist.

00:56:39.940 Again, this is the Huffington Post.

00:56:41.720 First, a tape might exist of Trump doing something in an elevator, though exactly where that somewhere

00:56:52.820 is and what that something might be, no one in the media can say.

00:57:00.020 Could he have been just pressing some of the buttons on?

00:57:03.380 I'm doing breaking news here.

00:57:05.540 Okay.

00:57:05.620 I mean, let's not.

00:57:06.420 All right.

00:57:06.980 I don't.

00:57:07.480 Okay.

00:57:07.740 Where that somewhere is and what that something might be, no one in the media can say.

00:57:13.840 That's because no one in the media seems to have seen this tape or even is confident that

00:57:22.760 it exists.

00:57:24.800 End quote.

00:57:28.440 What a powerful report that is.

00:57:30.680 That is.

00:57:31.500 Can I tell you something?

00:57:32.220 Let's, I mean.

00:57:34.240 That's journalism at its finest.

00:57:35.780 It is.

00:57:36.340 Let's, the who?

00:57:39.100 Trump.

00:57:40.180 Yes.

00:57:40.960 The what?

00:57:41.760 Elevator.

00:57:42.940 The where?

00:57:45.060 Elevator again?

00:57:46.520 The why?

00:57:48.520 Because he's Trump?

00:57:50.320 The how?

00:57:52.520 Because he's Trump?

00:57:54.000 Yeah.

00:57:54.760 Hello?

00:57:55.260 That's all he needs.

00:57:56.320 That's it.

00:57:56.980 The who, what, why, when, and how?

00:57:58.840 They're all taken care of.

00:58:00.080 They're all there.

00:58:00.540 They're all there.

00:58:01.780 Brilliant journalism.

00:58:02.920 Brilliant.

00:58:03.580 Can you look, listen to that?

00:58:04.980 Let me read that again.

00:58:06.880 A tape.

00:58:08.020 This is journalism.

00:58:10.380 A tape might exist of Trump doing something in an elevator.

00:58:15.120 Though exactly where that somewhere is and what that something might be, no one in media

00:58:19.460 can say.

00:58:20.120 That's because no one in the media seems to have seen the tape or is even confident it

00:58:26.500 exists.

00:58:27.980 But we're reporting on it anyway.

00:58:31.520 That's.

00:58:32.740 Wow.

00:58:34.040 Isn't that a rumor?

00:58:37.760 That's worse than a rumor, isn't it?

00:58:39.680 Yes.

00:58:39.920 Look rumor up.

00:58:41.400 Marissa, can you just Google rumor?

00:58:44.140 See what, help me out on what a rumor is.

00:58:47.200 That may be lower than a rumor.

00:58:50.120 We, all we know in here is that somebody said something about Trump in an elevator.

00:59:01.640 We could probably, we could probably verify that there's probably photographic evidence

00:59:08.100 of Trump in an elevator or going into an elevator.

00:59:11.560 So it's not complete rumor.

00:59:13.900 We know he's been in a, in an elevator before rumor, a currently circulating story or report

00:59:22.760 of uncertain or doubtful truth.

00:59:25.300 Yep.

00:59:26.080 That's a rumor.

00:59:29.360 That's despicable.

00:59:33.120 Now, let me, let me just, let me just play compare and contrast here for a second.

00:59:38.440 Do you remember the media and what they did with the picture of President Obama and Louis

00:59:46.860 Farrakhan?

00:59:47.400 What they did with it?

00:59:50.840 Yeah.

00:59:51.000 Do you remember that?

00:59:51.540 I don't remember.

00:59:52.300 Oh, you don't?

00:59:52.920 Do you remember the picture?

00:59:54.120 The, remember the picture that came in the same room or something?

00:59:56.760 Yeah.

00:59:57.060 And they were, yeah, they were talking to each other.

00:59:59.440 You remember that picture?

01:00:01.580 Hmm.

01:00:02.260 I don't.

01:00:02.860 You don't.

01:00:03.580 I don't.

01:00:04.020 You really don't?

01:00:04.740 I don't think so.

01:00:05.500 Yeah.

01:00:05.560 Okay.

01:00:05.860 That's because they hid it until he left the, the Oval Office.

01:00:10.920 Oh, that's right.

01:00:11.700 And then it came out.

01:00:12.720 Then it came out.

01:00:13.700 Yeah.

01:00:14.200 They hid it.

01:00:15.840 They knew about it and they hid it.

01:00:19.680 Same thing.

01:00:20.700 What about the LA Times story on what Obama said about, um, yes.

01:00:25.760 Who was, you know, the terrorist?

01:00:27.280 Yes.

01:00:27.900 The Palestinian liberation organization guy.

01:00:30.500 Yes.

01:00:31.100 At a speech and they had the tape and they would not, and still to this day have not

01:00:35.000 released it.

01:00:35.660 Yep.

01:00:35.820 So there's two things that the media knew about and hid.

01:00:45.220 Let me, let me, let me go here.

01:00:47.980 We were called a conspiracy theorist because we told you about what we called, what Sarah

01:00:54.880 Palin called death panels.

01:00:56.480 We called it by name, the complete lives system.

01:01:00.420 We were called conspiracy theorists for reporting on something that had come from the white

01:01:08.360 house and we had documented proof of that was a conspiracy, but the Huffington post saying

01:01:18.500 there's a tape somewhere, maybe, maybe of Trump doing something in an elevator.

01:01:24.620 Perhaps we don't know where it, but it's, it's probably pretty juicy, but that could be total

01:01:31.760 nonsense because no one has ever seen it.

01:01:35.100 No one can even verify that it exists.

01:01:37.780 Oh my gosh.

01:01:39.780 And they wonder, they wonder why we don't trust them.

01:01:47.960 Remember, remember when we spoke the facts that you're not going to be able to keep your

01:01:53.400 doctor under Obamacare?

01:01:55.120 Yeah.

01:01:55.420 Oh, that was conspiracy theory.

01:01:57.100 Conspiracy theory.

01:01:57.900 A fact.

01:01:59.880 If you like your doctor, keep it.

01:02:01.920 Keep your doctor.

01:02:02.520 If you like your plan, you can keep it.

01:02:03.800 No, you're not going to be able to.

01:02:06.020 That's a fact.

01:02:07.140 And we all know that.

01:02:08.340 In fact, they called it the biggest lie of the Obama administration.

01:02:12.880 It was a verifiable lie, just as the complete life system is.

01:02:22.100 It's a verifiable lie.

01:02:26.120 And they didn't cover that. 0.98

01:02:31.420 I mean, I'm, are we just foolish for even talking about it?

01:02:36.360 Well, it's hard not to, isn't it? 0.88

01:02:41.640 It's hard not to show.

01:02:42.620 And we've got, we've been frustrated with this before because of the double standard that

01:02:46.480 exists and we hate to go there all the time, but how can you not?

01:02:51.720 By the way, I tweeted this story last night.

01:02:54.020 I would love for you to retweet it.

01:02:56.060 Go and retweet it.

01:02:57.120 Because I, I, I, I added Brian Stelter to it at CNN because, you know, he just can't

01:03:04.480 figure out why the media is, so I've been, if you follow me on Twitter, um, please, if

01:03:10.840 you see at Brian Stelter, make sure, make sure that you retweet that, uh, because I, I'd

01:03:17.060 really like him to at least recognize from time to time, just recognize, you can answer

01:03:24.700 that one, Brian.

01:03:25.380 You say, you don't understand what the media is doing and yet you do it every day.

01:03:36.740 You and your cohorts, cohorts do it every day and you claim it doesn't happen.

01:03:43.820 So I'm just chronicling.

01:03:45.920 Oh, here it is.

01:03:47.460 Oh, here it is.

01:03:48.440 Was it Stelter last week that brought out the conspiracy guy?

01:03:52.220 No, no.

01:03:53.620 It was somebody else.

01:03:54.380 Uh, the skins.

01:03:55.900 Yeah.

01:03:56.020 That was, uh, that was MSNBC.

01:03:58.460 That, uh, that was Chris Hayes.

01:04:00.140 Chris Hayes.

01:04:00.680 That's right.

01:04:01.160 But again, but again, there's, they didn't say there's no outcry on that.

01:04:04.540 And then, and then Chris Hayes.

01:04:06.320 What was that story?

01:04:07.300 Hang on.

01:04:07.580 What was that story?

01:04:08.280 Cause that was, uh, that was the New Yorker.

01:04:11.820 No, the New York magazine saying this probably didn't happen, but what if Donald Trump was a

01:04:22.660 sleeper cell that has just been activated by Russia?

01:04:27.020 Well, that's a good question.

01:04:29.140 I mean, it would be bad, right?

01:04:31.040 That would be bad.

01:04:32.120 It would be just as bad as if let's say somebody was a handler for Barack Obama and Barack Obama

01:04:40.580 had been surrounded by Marxists his whole life.

01:04:44.220 And suddenly he gets all kinds of, of, uh, uh, special opportunities that, you know, may not have been afforded to other people,

01:04:52.540 but you couldn't ever find any record of it because all of his files from Occidental and everywhere else just mysteriously were either disappeared or were sealed.

01:05:03.360 You can see how that conspiracy theory started.

01:05:06.980 Can't you?

01:05:08.620 But that was a conspiracy theory.

01:05:10.760 We all know that that was ridiculous, but here's the New York magazine saying, we know this probably isn't true, but.

01:05:19.880 But what if it were?

01:05:23.960 That's incredible.

01:05:26.200 I mean, that's like, that's, you know, it's that kind of thinking that gets us to spend even more money as a country.

01:05:31.740 Yes, we're $20 trillion in debt, but what if we weren't?

01:05:39.620 But we are.

01:05:41.760 I love this.

01:05:44.280 What's her name?

01:05:45.280 Um, uh, I can never remember her name.

01:05:47.360 The, the, the new, you know, socialist force.

01:05:51.760 Oh yeah.

01:05:52.560 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

01:05:55.120 Yeah.

01:05:55.140 Okay.

01:05:55.440 All right.

01:05:55.740 So, so she tweeted, she tweeted last night.

01:05:59.140 She said, when I call a congressional candidate progressive, it's because they meet all of these standards.

01:06:07.540 One, no corporate welfare.

01:06:10.940 Two, Medicare for all.

01:06:13.640 That's universal health care.

01:06:15.700 Tuition, debt free college and trade school, criminal justice reform, green new deal.

01:06:26.340 What does that mean?

01:06:27.480 A green new deal.

01:06:28.420 That is a new deal, but just on based on the environment environment.

01:06:32.820 Yep.

01:06:33.640 Common sense.

01:06:34.360 Have you seen the proposals in that?

01:06:36.260 Because that's got to be astounding.

01:06:37.960 Yeah.

01:06:38.120 I, I read it a couple of weeks ago from her, the, the outline of it.

01:06:41.840 It's pretty intense.

01:06:42.820 Uh, common sense gun reform, equal rights for all of federal jobs guarantee program and expand federal student loan forgiveness.

01:06:55.620 Oh, and one more abolish ice.

01:06:58.020 So let's just go through the ones that are going to cost us money.

01:07:01.040 Uh, expand, uh, federal loan, uh, student loan forgiveness, a federal job guarantee, which means anyone who wants a job can get a job guaranteed with the government.

01:07:13.240 A green new deal, a green new deal, tuition and debt free college and trade school, free universal health care with, uh, Medicare for all.

01:07:25.860 What does that cost us?

01:07:30.760 Now, if you were somebody who says, you know what, we just, we're the richest country in the world.

01:07:36.400 No, we're not.

01:07:37.580 No, we're not the richest country in the world.

01:07:39.160 We are the biggest debtor in the history of the world.

01:07:43.500 That's what we are.

01:07:45.460 We are $20 trillion in debt that we've already spent $20 trillion gone.

01:07:53.900 We have an unfunded liabilities, another 150 or $200 trillion that we're just hoping we're going to figure out how we're going to pay for that when it comes time to pay for that.

01:08:09.160 So we are $20 trillion already spent and gone, and we are about $200 trillion yet to come.

01:08:19.020 May I ask, how do you pay for all of these things?

01:08:24.520 Because math and reason have to be employed.

01:08:30.780 So if you're going to say, well, I want these things, but we don't want, we're going to reduce the military.

01:08:37.740 Okay, then just say that.

01:08:40.140 Show me the numbers.

01:08:41.820 You want all of these things.

01:08:44.060 That's cool.

01:08:45.500 Show me the numbers.

01:08:47.580 How does that work out?

01:08:50.480 Now, why is that a hostile question?

01:08:53.280 That is an honest question.

01:08:55.100 If you can show me how you're going to pay for all of these things, I'd like to hear it.

01:09:03.640 I really would.

01:09:04.900 I think a lot of Americans would.

01:09:07.120 And you know what?

01:09:07.920 Some Americans will be for that.

01:09:10.780 Some Americans that aren't for it right now.

01:09:13.580 Some will say, oh, well, I didn't know that's a reasonable plan.

01:09:16.600 I think we could get that done.

01:09:17.840 If that's your plan, express it.

01:09:22.620 Tell us.

01:09:24.480 How are you going to afford it?

01:09:30.420 But that's probably racist to even ask that.

01:09:34.500 The media won't answer that question.

01:09:37.220 Now, if a candidate says, I want to cut taxes, the media is going to tell you exactly how much that tax cut is going to cost America.

01:09:53.240 No, it doesn't cost you anything.

01:09:57.020 You just don't collect the money, which means you have to spend less.

01:10:00.720 So they will tell you relentlessly how much that will cost you.

01:10:05.500 But they won't talk about people who are democratic socialists who are saying, I want to spend this.

01:10:15.360 And continue to tell people that's unreasonable.

01:10:19.240 That's unreasonable.

01:10:20.700 There's no money here.

01:10:22.580 We're already $20 trillion in debt.

01:10:25.540 They won't do that.

01:10:27.000 Well, there's probably a good reason, though.

01:10:30.760 I mean, there's only so much space on the Internet.

01:10:33.300 You know, it's like money.

01:10:35.060 There's only a certain amount of money.

01:10:37.140 And beyond that, there's no more money.

01:10:39.140 It's like that with the Internet.

01:10:40.600 There's just no more space.

01:10:42.600 And when you're running stories like, you know, important things like there's possibly maybe probably not a tape of Donald Trump doing something.

01:10:52.800 We don't know what in an elevator somewhere.

01:10:56.020 We don't know where.

01:10:58.020 And we'd like to run it, but we don't have it, nor do any other journalists have it.

01:11:02.940 In fact, nobody can even verify that tape exists.

01:11:05.560 You know, when you're running stuff like that, you know, important things like deficit and debt control, you know, kind of fall away to the wayside.

01:11:13.740 Bill Browder, he's the guy, you know, the Magninsky Act.

01:11:22.080 That is the that's the adoption thing that was imposed on Vladimir Putin that was started because of Bill Broward's partner.

01:11:32.020 And Bill Broward is the guy who actually got that act in place because his partner Magninsky had been killed by Vladimir Putin.

01:11:40.420 And you want to know who Vladimir Putin is?

01:11:42.880 We have Bill Browder on with us at the top of the hour.

01:11:46.460 All right.

01:11:46.680 Let me tell you about cybersecurity here.

01:11:49.200 As people improve the cybersecurity on their computers, thieves are turning back to stealing from mailboxes.

01:11:55.260 Recent reports reveal a rise in mail phishing where thieves use things like, you know, sticky rat traps tied to strings to pull envelopes out of government mailboxes.

01:12:06.040 Thieves have been snagging gift cards and documents with personal information like social security numbers.

01:12:11.960 There's nothing sacred anymore.

01:12:14.020 There are so many threats you cannot keep up with all of them.

01:12:17.440 That's why the new LifeLock Identity Theft Protection adds the power of Norton Security to protect you and all of your information.

01:12:55.100 Next.

01:12:58.140 Glenn Beck.

01:13:00.180 It's Monday, July 16th.

01:13:01.900 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:13:04.540 Right now, the president is meeting on the other side of the planet with Vladimir Putin.

01:13:10.640 People think they know who Vladimir Putin is.

01:13:14.900 There's one guy who actually knows who he is.

01:13:19.720 He's been the number one enemy of Vladimir Putin for the last 10 years.

01:13:25.480 In fact, it's because of him that Russia and Putin's people were meeting in the Trump Tower with Donald Trump before the election.

01:13:35.880 It's because of him there is such a thing called the Magnitsky Act.

01:13:39.680 His name is Bill Browder, and he wrote a letter to the president, and it is the cover of the New York Times right now.

01:13:51.060 Bill is on the phone with us to kind of go over some advice for the president.

01:13:55.920 Bill, how are you, sir?

01:13:56.760 I'm doing really well.

01:13:58.900 How are you?

01:13:59.540 What is it like to be the number one enemy of arguably the most dangerous man on the planet?

01:14:07.580 Well, I think there are probably better things to be than that.

01:14:10.200 But this wasn't something that I chose, that this was something that happened because of what Putin did.

01:14:20.040 The reason that I'm an enemy of Vladimir Putin is that he and his cronies killed one of my colleagues and friends,

01:14:30.220 a young man named Sergei Magnitsky, who was a lawyer working for me in Russia,

01:14:33.760 after Sergei uncovered a massive government corruption scheme and thought, as a patriot, he would expose it.

01:14:40.820 Instead, Putin's henchmen arrested him, tortured him for 358 days, and killed him eight and a half years ago.

01:14:48.600 And I've been on a mission to get justice for Sergei, which has led to, as you mentioned, the Magnitsky Act,

01:14:54.900 which imposes asset freezes and visa sanctions on Putin and his cronies for a variety of crimes, including killing Sergei.

01:15:03.100 And because Putin is a kleptocrat, he's a guy who steals money from his people in large quantities,

01:15:10.460 and he keeps that money in the West, he feels completely exposed by this piece of legislation.

01:15:17.200 And in response to that, he's tried to have the legislation repealed, as you mentioned,

01:15:22.000 sending his emissaries to Trump Tower, and also trying to destroy me and all the people around me.

01:15:29.200 And most recently, he tried to use Interpol to arrest me in Madrid.

01:15:34.280 I was arrested for a brief period of time on a Russian Interpol arrest warrant about a month ago.

01:15:40.880 Putin's playing for keeps. 0.90

01:15:42.700 He's a cold-blooded killer. 1.00

01:15:44.140 He's a dangerous man.

01:15:45.100 And I'm very worried about any of these attempts to somehow placate him or appease him

01:15:52.640 that are taking place with the president right now in Helsinki.

01:15:57.020 One more personal question, then I want to go to Helsinki.

01:16:00.260 Why are you still alive? 1.00

01:16:02.960 Well, Putin is a killer. 1.00

01:16:05.980 He kills at home. 1.00

01:16:08.160 He kills abroad.

01:16:09.080 The one thing he doesn't like to do is face consequences for his crimes.

01:16:15.460 And he hasn't figured out a way of killing me and doing it in a way that he can get away with.

01:16:19.580 And so what they've tried to do, instead of killing me abroad,

01:16:23.380 is having me arrested, taken back to Russia, and killing me in Russia, 0.84

01:16:27.660 where he has the full ability to get away with that.

01:16:30.300 And so they're now on their seventh abusive attempt to use Interpol to have me arrested.

01:16:35.840 I live in England, and they've tried a dozen times in various different ways

01:16:41.880 to apply to the British police for mutual legal assistance.

01:16:45.500 They're suing me all over the world.

01:16:47.320 They're trying to do everything they can to get me back to Russia, to discredit me,

01:16:51.900 to have me extradited, to impoverish me, to do whatever they can to destroy me

01:16:55.380 so that they can destroy me in a way that's plausibly deniable

01:16:59.580 and doesn't put them in further sanctions or other political consequences.

01:17:03.980 Bill, you wrote an open letter to the president,

01:17:08.080 and you said there are a few things you need to know about Putin.

01:17:10.680 And I'd like to just go over them with you.

01:17:13.060 First, Putin has a weak hand and is always bluffing.

01:17:18.320 Yeah, so let's talk about that.

01:17:20.180 So what do we have here?

01:17:21.780 What is Russia?

01:17:22.820 Russia is a country with an economy the size of the state of New York.

01:17:27.800 Russia is a country with a military budget,

01:17:30.260 which is 90% less than the U.S. military budget.

01:17:33.740 And that's assuming that whatever is in their military budget isn't being stolen.

01:17:37.140 And I would bet that 80% of the military budget is being stolen.

01:17:40.760 Russia is a country which is just a minnow in the world. 1.00

01:17:43.840 It's not a serious player in any way, shape, or form.

01:17:47.120 And so for us to be meeting with Putin on an equal level is just absurd.

01:17:56.160 It doesn't make any sense.

01:17:57.340 He's a pipsqueak in comparison with the United States. 0.88

01:18:02.240 And so he's bluffing like hell.

01:18:04.640 He's got this pair of twos, and the United States is a full house.

01:18:08.960 And for anyone to sort of put them on an equal stage

01:18:13.320 gives him an enormous amount of credibility, which he doesn't deserve. 1.00

01:18:16.180 Putin is a bald-faced liar. 1.00

01:18:21.460 So, yes. 0.99

01:18:23.560 So Putin, as we've seen, and this is not me making this assessment. 0.75

01:18:28.700 This is just, his lies are legendary.

01:18:33.040 Remember when he invaded Crimea?

01:18:35.560 He said, no, these weren't our troops.

01:18:37.100 They were little green men. 0.77

01:18:38.520 When he shot down MH-17, he said, no, it wasn't our missiles.

01:18:42.860 It was the Ukrainians' missiles. 1.00

01:18:44.160 When he cheated in the Olympics with doping.

01:18:48.240 No, no, nobody cheated, even though there's like absolute documentary evidence of it.

01:18:54.960 Everything, he said, we're going to get rid of chemical weapons in Syria.

01:18:58.420 They've not done anything about chemical weapons in Syria.

01:19:01.260 Putin lies, lies, and then lies some more.

01:19:04.080 Anything he says is a lie.

01:19:05.420 You said in your op-ed in Time, this open letter to President Trump saying, please, you have to keep in mind a few things.

01:19:13.580 You said something that really connected with me.

01:19:15.520 President George W. Bush famously looked into Putin in the eye, saw his soul.

01:19:20.260 Last year, I had lunch with President Bush and asked him about it.

01:19:23.420 In short, he said each of their dozen following meetings and conversations were disastrous.

01:19:27.580 In 2009, President Obama tried to clean up the situation by offering Russia a reset.

01:19:33.120 That emboldened Putin even further.

01:19:35.840 Now, Putin is meeting with President Trump.

01:19:39.340 You say his views compromise, Putin's views compromise, and engagement as a weakness.

01:19:47.320 So, Putin, every time you get a U.S. president, they all think, well, I'm the leader of the free world.

01:19:58.200 Look how great I am.

01:19:59.660 I can go and tame Vladimir Putin.

01:20:02.300 And so, Putin goes and meets with these people and gives them some sense that he can be tamed.

01:20:08.100 And they feel like, wow, I'm so good and I'm so powerful, I'm going to tame this man.

01:20:12.320 And then they come back with these experiences like what happened with George W. Bush and what happened with Barack Obama.

01:20:19.920 And the same thing is going to happen with Trump.

01:20:21.960 If he thinks that he has any capacity to negotiate and to come to any kind of terms with Vladimir Putin, he's sorely mistaken.

01:20:30.960 Vladimir Putin will take whatever he's given in a negotiation, and that will be the starting point for the next negotiation.

01:20:36.660 And these relationships never end up well.

01:20:38.300 And there's one simple reason why they don't, which is because Putin can't afford to be friends with the United States.

01:20:43.920 His whole spiel with the Russian people is to say, look at all the – even though we have trouble in our own country, even though the economy stinks, even though there's nothing good happening here, we've got to all band together to fight against these foreign enemies. 1.00

01:20:58.460 And America is our biggest foreign enemy. 0.50

01:21:00.400 He has to say that.

01:21:01.380 Otherwise, people are going to turn their attention to him.

01:21:03.440 And so whatever Putin says or doesn't say, and he'll lie, of course, in that meeting, he has no intention of honoring whatever he might have agreed to.

01:21:14.400 And that's been his pattern for 18 years.

01:21:17.440 And for people to ignore that, or for anybody to ignore that, for President Trump to ignore that, he's doing it at his own peril.

01:21:23.760 Putin has said this morning that the Cold War is a thing of the past, but he has also said it was the biggest mistake of the 20th century, the way it ended with the collapse of the former Soviet Union.

01:21:37.640 What is it that – do you think that Donald Trump gets any of what you've just said and understands?

01:21:47.420 He called him a competitor last week, which I kind of liked because I don't want to call people enemies, even though I believe he is an enemy.

01:21:55.240 There's no reason to use that language until, you know – well, I was going to say until it's official, but I guess it is official.

01:22:01.520 Is there – do you think that Donald Trump gets this at all on who he is?

01:22:07.640 Well, the whole policy, Russian – the Trump-Russia policy is confusing.

01:22:13.380 On one hand, Trump makes these ridiculous statements saying that Putin is not a killer, I want to get along with him, he's a nice guy.

01:22:21.380 And on the other hand, Trump has an administration full of totally clear-eyed people who understand Russia better than anybody. 0.74

01:22:30.760 And Pompeo, the Secretary of State, Jim Mattis, the Secretary of Defense, Nikki Haley, the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton, these are all people who understand exactly who Putin is and are tough as hell on Putin.

01:22:45.000 And I've seen it with my own eyes, and I'm very conscious of this, that they've taken steps that are more tough on Russia than anything I've seen in a long, long time, in particular when they went after Putin's oligarchs in April and they sanctioned seven of the richest oligarchs in Russia.

01:23:05.620 And they weren't just sanctioning Putin. I mean, they weren't just sanctioning the oligarchs, they were sanctioning Putin himself because he took his money with some of the oligarchs.

01:23:13.280 So what do you think Trump is doing?

01:23:14.920 Well, either he has some strange negotiating strategy, which doesn't make any sense to me, or it's all a big discombobulated mess in terms of his Russia policy.

01:23:28.060 I don't know. It doesn't make any sense. It's very schizophrenic.

01:23:31.200 On one hand, I applaud it, which is the actual implementation of the policy.

01:23:35.300 On the other hand, I abhor it when he says that Putin is not a killer. 0.99

01:23:39.700 I know for a fact that Putin is a killer. 0.95

01:23:41.340 You actually compare him to Pablo Escobar. 0.99

01:23:46.320 Yes, he's an organized criminal on massive proportions.

01:23:50.060 The only difference between Putin and Escobar is that Putin has got nuclear weapons. 0.96

01:23:55.120 He's a gangster, a mafia gangster with nuclear weapons.

01:24:00.580 So what do you hope can come out of this?

01:24:04.760 Is there anything that could happen today that you would say, okay, well, that was okay?

01:24:14.140 Well, if Trump gets tough on Putin and says that, you know, you should withdraw from Ukraine,

01:24:19.120 you should not bomb any innocent women and children in Syria,

01:24:24.260 that you will be eviscerated if you get involved in any kind of political meddling in the United States

01:24:30.240 or our allied countries.

01:24:33.120 If you continue to assassinate people using chemical weapons in our allied countries,

01:24:39.840 then we're going to come down on you like a ton of bricks.

01:24:42.040 If he doesn't say that, then all this stuff is just completely empowering Putin to do this.

01:24:46.400 I don't see any of that happening.

01:24:50.020 I see maybe Syria.

01:24:51.560 I think he would like to wrap up Syria, but I don't think he cares about Ukraine, unfortunately.

01:24:57.680 He was just over in England, but that was a little dicey.

01:25:02.840 And I can't imagine him saying that, you know, NATO is going to get tough on him

01:25:07.060 if, you know, if he doesn't stop killing people in NATO countries.

01:25:13.200 But do you?

01:25:14.980 I mean, do you see?

01:25:15.760 So what I see is that there's effectively no upside to this summit.

01:25:21.120 It shouldn't have happened.

01:25:22.660 There's only downside, you know, waiting with bated breath to see what any public announcements are,

01:25:28.800 to see how much damage is done and how that damage can be mitigated.

01:25:35.680 It's dealing with Vladimir Putin is like dealing with a mafia gangster,

01:25:39.720 and that's not the tone that this summit has been approached so far by President Trump.

01:25:46.260 How does Putin's Russia end, do you think?

01:25:52.940 Well, Putin is going to stay in place for as long as he can.

01:25:57.080 There's not going to be, he's not going to retire to the Putin Presidential Library speeches.

01:26:02.500 No, that's not going to happen.

01:26:04.200 He has to stay in place because all of his money will be taken away.

01:26:08.420 He'll probably go to jail and could even have worse things happen to him if he's no longer in power.

01:26:13.040 And so he's going to stay in power until the very bitter end.

01:26:15.880 And, you know, I say that the best comparable is what I call the Mugabe scenario.

01:26:21.880 Mugabe was the president of Zimbabwe for like 30 years,

01:26:27.600 and he just stayed and stayed and stayed and created more and more nationalism and more and more of a mess

01:26:34.320 until the currency became worthless and the economy is, and that's Putin's only play here,

01:26:41.060 and that's what he's going to do.

01:26:42.240 And the worse the economy gets, the more angry and nationalistic he gets

01:26:45.880 and the more trouble he's going to cause in the rest of the world.

01:26:48.140 And this is an absolute villainous character that needs to be contained.

01:26:51.960 And anybody who knows him, including some very, very good people in the Trump administration,

01:26:55.880 totally agree with me on this.

01:26:57.160 Bill, I wish you the best, and I pray for you and your family that you stay safe.

01:27:06.280 I don't know how or why you would travel over to Europe and leave the safety of the United States,

01:27:12.420 but we wish you all the best, and thanks for being on the program.

01:27:16.940 And thank you for being brave enough to stand up.

01:27:21.640 I mean, was there – are you married, Bill?

01:27:25.740 I am.

01:27:27.880 I don't like to talk about my family.

01:27:29.120 No, no, I just wanted to know, did you – was there ever a time that you and your wife

01:27:35.660 or that you just thought, man, I don't know if I can do this?

01:27:39.840 I mean, you put up – the stakes are really high, and people don't do what you've done.

01:27:46.800 Well, what Putin and his cronies did to Sergei Magnitsky, my lawyer,

01:27:52.040 they killed him as my proxy.

01:27:54.380 He basically would be alive today if he hadn't been working for me,

01:27:57.840 and they killed him as my proxy, and he stood up for me, and it's my duty to stand up for him,

01:28:02.600 and I couldn't live with myself if I didn't do that.

01:28:04.820 So I will continue to fight Putin until the bitter end

01:28:08.600 and continue to call for justice for the murder of Sergei Magnitsky and many other people,

01:28:13.640 and I'm not going to back down.

01:28:15.520 You are a very rare man, and it is a privilege to talk to you, Bill.

01:28:20.960 Thank you so much.

01:28:22.220 God bless.

01:28:22.760 Thank you.

01:28:25.480 Wow.

01:28:26.300 Keep him and his family in prayer.

01:28:29.580 Holy cow. 0.89

01:28:32.040 Would you do that, Pat?

01:28:34.240 I think you'd have the guts.

01:28:35.580 I don't know.

01:28:36.620 I mean, that's –

01:28:37.440 You never know until you're there.

01:28:38.560 Until you're there.

01:28:39.480 I don't know.

01:28:40.680 Terrifying.

01:28:42.180 He's also painted kind of a bleak picture of what can come of this summit.

01:28:46.940 Yeah.

01:28:47.340 Pretty much believes nothing will.

01:28:48.960 Nothing good.

01:28:49.720 Well, let's watch.

01:28:51.780 Yeah, we'll see.

01:28:52.600 And keep our fingers crossed.

01:28:54.140 Okay.

01:28:54.660 Let me tell you about Thursday night.

01:28:56.740 Thursday night is going to be a game-changing night for Pat Gray.

01:29:00.400 Pat said to me earlier this morning, we were off the air, and he said,

01:29:03.600 I'm going to be here for the conference.

01:29:07.820 There's a teleconference going on or a video – it's a program.

01:29:13.160 It's a show.

01:29:13.620 I don't know what you even call them.

01:29:14.920 It's on the internet.

01:29:16.720 It is –

01:29:17.060 Kind of like a seminar.

01:29:17.980 Yeah.

01:29:18.940 It's beckcryptoshow.com.

01:29:21.800 We have Tika Tiwari, who is a really good advisor.

01:29:25.820 Used to be a hedge fund guy.

01:29:27.320 He's probably made more people millionaires on cryptocurrency than anybody else in the world.

01:29:32.280 And he watches it and says, now is the time to get in.

01:29:37.460 So we've decided to do – it's absolutely free.

01:29:39.720 You don't have to pay anything.

01:29:41.640 Beckcryptoshow.com.

01:29:43.120 But you do have to register to be able to watch the show on Thursday.

01:29:48.000 It's live at – I think it's 8 o'clock.

01:29:50.720 Beckcryptoshow.com.

01:29:52.360 Now, Pat said, I want to know the three cryptocurrencies.

01:29:56.680 And you've tried to get it out of me.

01:29:57.880 I've tried.

01:29:58.500 Do you actually not know them?

01:30:00.000 I actually do not know them.

01:30:02.140 I don't know them.

01:30:02.780 I don't know if I believe that.

01:30:04.080 No, I really don't.

01:30:05.080 I don't know them.

01:30:06.020 But we're going to find out Thursday night.

01:30:07.900 He says, A, I bet you one of them is still Bitcoin.

01:30:11.720 Maybe.

01:30:12.160 I'm thinking, too, because he said there's things going on behind the scenes with Bitcoin.

01:30:15.580 That I do know about.

01:30:16.620 It's pretty impressive.

01:30:17.180 That could propel it to a new high.

01:30:18.600 Yeah.

01:30:18.760 When you understand that technology, that could do it.

01:30:23.680 But he's got three of them.

01:30:25.160 And he says, now is the time to invest.

01:30:27.860 He's a guy who knows he learned his lesson back in the tech bubble.

01:30:32.900 He pulled some of his money out of the tech bubble at the time and didn't go well for him because he panicked.

01:30:39.820 And he said, I learned my lesson.

01:30:42.380 If you believe in the technology, stay in.

01:30:45.820 And the smart crypto course dot com will will help you all the way through that.

01:30:52.120 That's smart crypto course dot com.

01:30:53.780 That's how you can watch the course that he's put together.

01:30:56.420 The show is Thursday and you don't want to miss it.

01:30:59.720 Please register right now at Beck crypto show dot com.

01:31:04.060 That's Beck crypto show dot com.

01:31:09.300 Well, there's a there's a there's an amazing thing going on.

01:31:12.760 Can you have a decent conversation with people anymore?

01:31:17.340 Can you just ask honest questions?

01:31:19.400 No, I try to and I try to frame them as honest questions when I when I write anything online.

01:31:25.740 I really try to frame it as an honest question.

01:31:30.780 So Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said you have to meet all of these standards to be called a progressive in my world.

01:31:39.520 No corporate bailouts, Medicare for all tuition and debt free college plus trade school, a green new deal, a federal jobs guarantee, which means if you want a job, the guarantee the government will guarantee one and expand federal student loan forgiveness.

01:31:59.740 So I wrote now, does this sound hostile?

01:32:03.920 Plus student loan forgiveness, guaranteed government jobs for all a Casio 2018.

01:32:09.080 You say that the U.S. is rich, but are you rich if you're just living on maxed out credit cards?

01:32:16.140 How would you pay for this and not further enslave future generations?

01:32:20.960 No, gotcha.

01:32:21.980 Just want to hear the plan.

01:32:25.040 Oh, my.

01:32:26.160 No, you can't.

01:32:27.140 No, you can't ask that question.

01:32:29.740 No, her supporters made it very clear on who I was and accused me of all kinds of things, which that's that.

01:32:41.440 If you use a baloney detection kit, that smells like baloney, like you don't actually have a plan.

01:32:47.780 Can someone share it?

01:32:48.840 I'd like to hear it.

01:32:50.360 Glenn back.

01:32:51.520 So Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who I actually have been supportive of, not of any of her policies.

01:33:02.480 But, you know, the press was tearing her.

01:33:05.580 I'm sorry.

01:33:05.920 The right was tearing her apart.

01:33:08.300 And I said, at least she's saying what she believes.

01:33:11.240 At least she's coming out and saying that she's a socialist.

01:33:14.000 I much prefer that than people, you know, that claim, oh, no, no, no, no.

01:33:21.260 How dare you?

01:33:22.020 You're using socialist. 0.91

01:33:23.040 That's racist to call me a socialist.

01:33:25.200 No, it's not.

01:33:26.360 It's political ideology.

01:33:28.940 I do like that she admits it.

01:33:30.260 I do, too.

01:33:30.880 She's still agonizing.

01:33:31.920 Oh, she's very agonizing.

01:33:33.840 But I would love to have a conversation just like Bernie Sanders.

01:33:37.280 I would have a very respectful conversation with Bernie Sanders, maybe until the Clinton

01:33:42.820 thing, because I think he sold out his principles there at the end.

01:33:45.200 But I would like to have a conversation with her.

01:33:49.000 She seems intelligent.

01:33:50.660 She seems smart.

01:33:53.660 She seems like she, you know, is one with the people.

01:33:57.080 Great.

01:33:57.380 I'd love to hear it.

01:33:58.460 Now, she tweeted that we need no corporate welfare.

01:34:03.780 I agree with Medicare for all.

01:34:06.160 No.

01:34:06.560 No, tuition, debt free college and trade school.

01:34:09.700 Wow.

01:34:10.420 No, a green new deal.

01:34:13.900 Absolutely not.

01:34:15.380 Federal jobs guarantee.

01:34:17.000 If you want a job, the guarantee is coming from the government that they will give you

01:34:20.860 one.

01:34:21.500 Absolutely not.

01:34:23.360 Expand federal student loan forgiveness.

01:34:25.900 No.

01:34:26.820 OK, so all of these things, this is trillions of dollars.

01:34:31.300 And so I wrote, you know, you say that the U.S.

01:34:36.480 is rich because this is her deal.

01:34:38.580 You know, we're the richest country in the world.

01:34:40.320 We're not.

01:34:40.940 We're actually not.

01:34:41.940 No, we're not.

01:34:43.000 We're living on maxed out credit cards.

01:34:45.520 Now, if we didn't have debt or we had a healthy amount of debt, but we don't have a healthy

01:34:51.420 amount of debt.

01:34:52.180 We're we're adding a trillion dollars a year.

01:34:55.600 Social security in twenty twenty two.

01:34:57.820 This is last call, guys.

01:34:59.320 Twenty twenty two.

01:35:00.140 We are out of money for social security.

01:35:03.000 When that happens, it's two trillion dollars of debt added each year.

01:35:08.780 That's just a few years away.

01:35:11.920 Is that a lot?

01:35:12.960 Yeah.

01:35:13.900 Yeah, it is.

01:35:14.520 So I said, so how are you going to pay for this and not further enslave future generations?

01:35:20.100 No gotchas.

01:35:21.000 I just want to hear the plan.

01:35:22.880 So that was my that was my evil question.

01:35:27.420 Hey, Glenn, why don't you worry about making your website's payroll?

01:35:32.140 How's your jet doing?

01:35:34.320 It's actually doing fine.

01:35:35.460 Um, uh, this one, uh, uh, hey, uh, Glenn, um, uh, we should sell the military.

01:35:53.940 No, no, I don't think that's a good idea.

01:35:56.660 Do you ask the same question about endless war?

01:36:00.560 Yes, I've actually been I've been very clear on this one.

01:36:04.960 Uh, since I don't know, since George Bush was in office.

01:36:08.320 Isn't it fascinating?

01:36:09.280 Not one of them can say, well, how about we pay for it with a massive tax increase?

01:36:14.040 You got to pay for it.

01:36:15.400 Well, here's one.

01:36:16.240 Here's one.

01:36:17.500 Reunite the immigrant families. 0.97

01:36:19.840 Then take the billions paid monthly to ice private companies, HHS for their care, court,

01:36:26.960 transportation and ear market all for a casio.

01:36:30.380 So, okay, wait, wait, wait, okay.

01:36:33.720 So, wait, that doesn't pay for it.

01:36:35.440 We're already paying that amount and we're in debt.

01:36:38.460 And if you just let them go and in the country, then we're still going to be paying for their 0.99

01:36:43.720 job or their tuition or something else, which would be more expensive.

01:36:48.460 So I know we don't, we don't, we don't give ice a billion dollars a month.

01:36:53.080 Anyway, raise your taxes.

01:36:55.800 This is the first honest one.

01:36:57.680 Raise taxes on the rich.

01:36:59.020 There you go.

01:36:59.520 Raise taxes to the level where income concentration will reverse and wages and middle-class incomes

01:37:04.900 will rise.

01:37:06.200 Raise the corporate tax back to 50%.

01:37:09.640 Oh my God.

01:37:10.480 Raise the estate tax to 65.

01:37:14.060 Raise taxes on you.

01:37:16.080 Well, there you go.

01:37:18.660 I mean, that's because that's the, you still don't pay for everything, but that's the only

01:37:23.700 way you can even begin to try to pay for everything.

01:37:26.440 And that's to tax everybody into the dark ages again.

01:37:30.360 You're at a 65% tax on what people have already paid taxes on their entire life.

01:37:37.080 And then when they die, they got to give you 65% of everything they accrued.

01:37:44.500 Does that seem fair?

01:37:46.540 Why don't you, why don't you ask, why don't you ask Donald Rump?

01:37:51.100 Ah, that's funny.

01:37:52.480 Because they left off the team.

01:37:54.100 Who blew, who blew 1.7 trillion on a deficit for a tax break.

01:37:58.400 No, I, I'm, I'm with you on this one.

01:38:00.900 The tax break helps the economy.

01:38:03.320 Right.

01:38:03.700 But it's suicide in the long run, unless you include spending cuts, you've got to cut

01:38:10.320 the spending as well.

01:38:11.740 So I don't know why you're so hostile on that one.

01:38:18.340 Stop giving away money to corporations and churches.

01:38:23.920 Churches?

01:38:24.640 We're giving away money to churches?

01:38:26.500 I didn't know that that would.

01:38:27.860 Well, by giving away, I'll bet you they're talking about the taxes exemption for churches.

01:38:33.300 That's not giving them money. 0.72

01:38:34.620 That's letting them keep the money they, they get.

01:38:37.500 You're, you're, you're not giving them anything.

01:38:40.860 How about raising taxes on those who can afford it? 0.89

01:38:43.420 Especially the one who makes millions bleeding on the radio, telling poor people that poor 0.61

01:38:47.220 people are screwing them. 0.91

01:38:50.180 You know, uh, who is that?

01:38:52.520 Uh, Peter, Peter, I've paid more taxes than you will make in your entire life.

01:38:58.560 I'm guessing I, uh, Oh yeah.

01:39:01.260 I, uh, I, I, I think I've paid my fair share and then some, when you are in a situation to

01:39:09.960 where you've grew up, like I grew up middle-class family, uh, dad was, you know, struggled just

01:39:18.440 to make ends meet.

01:39:20.220 We lost the bank of the bakery in the end, uh, because my dad couldn't make go of it after

01:39:25.860 25 years.

01:39:28.100 Um, and nobody ever went to college.

01:39:31.140 We couldn't afford to go to college.

01:39:32.760 If I was going to go to college, I had to pay for it myself and we wouldn't have been

01:39:36.960 looking for handouts.

01:39:37.960 And I certainly didn't whine about it.

01:39:40.420 Um, if you are in that situation and you find yourself in a situation to where you can

01:39:46.520 make it in America, I certainly am not going to be on the other side telling people to take

01:39:52.240 your money away.

01:39:54.240 I, I certainly do think that you should pay your fair share, but I don't believe in a

01:39:59.040 progressive income tax.

01:40:00.720 I think we all need skin in the game and whether that's, you know, God asks for 10%, that's

01:40:07.120 God.

01:40:08.760 What's the, what's the government?

01:40:11.120 Maybe we all pay 5%.

01:40:13.000 Maybe we all pay 10%.

01:40:15.100 I don't know.

01:40:16.420 Under a certain income, give you a break.

01:40:20.120 There's no, you know, you don't have to have skin in the game.

01:40:23.260 We're going to get on, you get you on your feet.

01:40:25.540 But once you hit a certain level, everyone should have skin in the game.

01:40:31.660 My folks, they sent me to private school.

01:40:34.360 It was a Catholic school.

01:40:35.740 And when we say private school in the West, it's not like private school in the East.

01:40:41.960 And it's certainly not like a private school, even, even in the West today, it was a little

01:40:47.920 teeny Catholic private school.

01:40:51.500 My mom worked in the kitchen.

01:40:53.500 They did fundraisers.

01:40:57.180 My dad provided food from the bakery for fundraisers.

01:41:02.660 My folks paid for some of the tuition and worked the rest of it off.

01:41:10.160 We didn't get a handout.

01:41:12.320 We couldn't afford it.

01:41:13.800 But somehow or another, we all made it work.

01:41:18.420 To me, that's fair.

01:41:22.780 To me, what's fair is not looking at somebody's bank account.

01:41:30.540 But looking at what they've done.

01:41:35.740 Their bank account is irrelevant to me.

01:41:40.120 God never gave me the right to take money.

01:41:43.800 From you.

01:41:45.500 I don't have a right.

01:41:46.860 If I came to your house and said, you know what?

01:41:49.340 I want 10%.

01:41:50.400 You know what?

01:41:51.120 I want 50% of your income.

01:41:53.260 You know what?

01:41:53.720 I want 65% of what you made.

01:41:57.060 If I did that, you would probably get me on racketeering.

01:42:04.820 You'd probably, I would be a mob boss to be able to do that.

01:42:08.400 But that's what you encourage others to do to me every day.

01:42:18.600 Every day.

01:42:19.900 Anybody who is paying taxes is being told by somebody usually not paying taxes.

01:42:26.240 We should take more of what you have.

01:42:32.800 In what universe is that right?

01:42:39.260 In what universe is it right and legal for a mob to get together and say,

01:42:48.600 hey, we took a vote and we get half of what you have.

01:42:53.560 It was beside, you know, the island of lost boys.

01:42:58.700 Well, where does that happen?

01:43:01.360 And is right.

01:43:02.420 We could all get together and say, we all, if we're going to live here,

01:43:11.460 are going to pay this amount.

01:43:14.240 We're going to pay this percentage, all of us.

01:43:19.420 That would be fair.

01:43:20.760 But to have a small number of citizens decide that my amount is bigger than your amount

01:43:32.320 doesn't seem based in that word that you keep using fair.

01:43:42.860 Perhaps it does not mean what you think it means.

01:43:50.760 Now it's time to sell your house.

01:43:52.580 Have you been thinking about it?

01:43:54.040 You think about buying a new house?

01:43:56.620 Maybe you're getting transferred and you need to find a house in a new area.

01:44:00.740 Whatever it is that you need when it comes to housing,

01:44:20.280 In fact, well over a thousand agents.

01:44:23.300 And these people have all been personally interviewed.

01:44:26.780 The agents are all top notch.

01:44:29.780 They're fully vetted.

01:44:31.640 They are handpicked for their knowledge, their skill, and their track record

01:44:35.760 based on what they do in your area.

01:44:39.640 So if you're looking for a real estate agent, you need the right one.

01:44:44.100 You need somebody who's going to sell your home fast and for the most amount of money.

01:44:48.140 Realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:44:51.160 Put them to the test.

01:44:54.020 Realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:44:55.700 So there's been a lot of controversies concerning Scarlett Johansson's decision to play a transgendered character.

01:45:09.180 The LGBTQ community is very upset and social justice types have been raging about Johansson.

01:45:17.440 Now she was she was going to play a crime kingpin who was born a woman but identified as a male in the film Rub and Tug.

01:45:28.860 In an interview with NPR, naturally, a trans activist had this to say about it.

01:45:34.680 So explain that a little more.

01:45:35.760 Why is it deeply offensive to you when a cis actor is chosen to play a trans character?

01:45:41.580 So casting male actors to play trans women and female actors to play trans men really reinforces the idea that trans men are really women who are pretending to be men 0.92

01:45:53.640 and tricking people into thinking they're men as opposed to the truth, which is that transgender men are living authentically as themselves.

01:46:01.920 And we look like men and we feel like men and we are perceived as men.

01:46:06.520 And there's no reason like women should be playing us. 1.00

01:46:10.200 Oh, man, I got a lot to say there.

01:46:13.560 A lot to say there.

01:46:15.520 Immanuel Kant comes to mind.

01:46:17.360 There are many things that I believe that I shall never say, but I shall never say the things that I do not believe.

01:46:21.720 So in response to the backlash, Scarlett Johansson released a statement to her critics, and she said,

01:46:30.020 tell them that they can be directed to Jeffrey Tambor or Jared Leto or Felicity Huffman.

01:46:38.260 These are all cis actors who played trans characters.

01:46:43.100 Why isn't there this amount of outcry when Jeffrey Tambor chose to play Mora in Transparent?

01:46:51.720 Now, that sounds good.

01:46:54.520 And then she buckled.

01:46:56.100 And then she buckled.

01:46:59.260 So what's the source of all of this outrage?

01:47:02.920 It's a small vocal mob who the mainstream media has, for some reason, given a platform

01:47:08.580 and whose voice is louder than the rest of ours, and they're able to bully until they get what they want.

01:47:13.440 Let's say that Scarlett Johansson had refused to, had refused the role to begin with, on the ground that she wouldn't play a transgendered character.

01:47:23.560 I can guarantee you that the same crowd wouldn't say, oh, good.

01:47:28.080 They would have said, how dare her? 1.00

01:47:31.000 And would have probably tried to force her to play that role.

01:47:34.800 Can't we just live next to each other?

01:47:38.520 Can't we just leave each other alone?

01:47:41.080 You want to be, you want to dress as a woman and you want to be a woman and claim you're a woman. 0.99

01:47:45.620 I'm going to have a scientist argue the X and Y chromosome thing with you. 0.84

01:47:50.700 But I, that's only if you push me and push me and push me.

01:47:54.740 I mean, I'm fine.

01:47:56.240 Live any way you want.

01:47:57.460 I don't care.

01:47:58.560 Oh, I love Hollywood eating their own though.

01:48:04.240 That's just tasty.

01:48:06.140 I love the fact eating their own.

01:48:08.480 I love the fact that you cannot get a, a cis person to play a trans person. 0.74

01:48:18.160 Right.

01:48:18.820 Not in Hollywood.

01:48:19.780 They can't pretend.

01:48:20.900 They can't act.

01:48:22.020 What are you? 1.00

01:48:22.840 What are you crazy? 1.00

01:48:23.880 Did anybody have a problem with the play, uh, Hamilton? 0.98

01:48:30.960 I don't think so.

01:48:32.760 Those were black people playing the part, the white people. 0.94

01:48:37.640 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. 0.96

01:48:40.000 That's not going on.

01:48:41.720 That's not going on.

01:48:43.120 I haven't seen Hamilton.

01:48:44.600 There's black people playing the founders.

01:48:47.400 White people. 0.69

01:48:48.040 Oh my God. 0.99

01:48:49.300 That's crazy talk.

01:48:51.040 White, uh, there was no outrage. 0.74

01:48:54.920 There was no outrage.

01:48:55.900 There's no outrage.

01:48:56.500 Nobody cared about that.

01:48:57.320 Because there is no outrage here even.

01:48:59.940 Right.

01:49:00.320 It's Hollywood.

01:49:01.580 Exactly.

01:49:02.180 Who cares?

01:49:02.420 How dare you play John F. Kennedy?

01:49:05.580 Only John F. Kennedy should play John F. Kennedy.

01:49:08.620 What?

01:49:09.580 It's a, that's their job to play people that they aren't.

01:49:16.760 Oh, I, post-modernism hurts.

01:49:22.780 It really hurts.
