The Glenn Beck Program - The Best Toxic-Masculinity Can Get？｜ 1⧸15⧸19

00:00:00.000 First, let me tell you about American financing. If you are thinking about buying a home,

00:00:04.300 this is a big investment. Make sure that you have the right financing when it comes to your home.

00:00:11.080 There's a lot of people that are out there selling you mortgages. You have to remember

00:00:14.940 that the bank's not giving you a mortgage. They're selling it to you. It's a great piece of spin,

00:00:18.780 though. It really is. Oh, we're giving you a mortgage. Oh, thanks. You're giving me the

00:00:22.380 opportunity to pay you more than I'm borrowing. Oh, thank you. Like a lot more. This is a family

00:00:26.960 owned national mortgage banker with salary based mortgage consultants that work for you. So if

00:00:33.660 you're looking to close quickly, you're looking for the right loan for you. Start the conversation

00:00:38.880 today. You could you could be pre-qualified, I think, in 10 minutes. Call 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440

00:00:46.920 or AmericanFinancing.net. That's AmericanFinancing.net.

00:00:52.120 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:00:59.760 Do you have your women's March tree up yet still? I don't. I still have to get mine. I know. I

00:01:04.360 decorated it. And the lot is just at this point, there's almost nothing left. I know. I know. If

00:01:08.320 you didn't get your women's March tree, it's probably too late. But for those of you decorating,

00:01:13.500 remember it happens on Saturday. Oh, my son broke one of the ovary ornaments I had. You're kidding me.

00:01:20.420 Glass. Beautiful glass ovary ornament. Yeah. Well, I had one. We got all tangled up. We had to have

00:01:25.660 it removed. Oh, no. Yeah. But anyway, the movement has really shown signs of strife. That's what the

00:01:32.180 media would tell you. It's actually imploding. An article in Tablet magazine revealed deep-seated

00:01:38.320 anti-Semitism among the co-chairs of the movement, which is kind of really kind of funny for a movement 0.93

00:01:44.400 that brands itself as, you know, a haven of intersectionality. The examples just keep piling

00:01:52.140 up. Just yesterday, there was another. And I really mean this sincerely. I hate to bring

00:02:00.540 you the audio, but I will in one minute. This is the Glenn Beck's program. All right. We've got just

00:02:11.440 a couple of minutes of commercials in this half hour. We've kind of changed things up because

00:02:15.960 I hate those long commercial breaks just as much as you do. So let's chat for a minute and then

00:02:20.260 right back into the program. Let me tell you about the Palm Beach letter. There is an investment

00:02:26.460 course that we had a former Wall Street hedge fund manager, Tika Tiwari, create for you. This is the

00:02:32.880 guy. He talks to all of the big movers and shakers in the crypto world and the blockchain world. So he

00:02:40.440 knows this technology really, really well, and he can explain how it works, why it's important, what he

00:02:48.720 thinks is coming next, and what he knows is coming next. It's a really interesting thing. We actually

00:02:54.700 had this course built for you. We asked him to build this course because Stu and I, trying to

00:03:01.860 figure out blockchain and Bitcoin and what it means and how it's all going to work was damn near

00:03:07.160 impossible. Basically a new language. It's like learning Spanish, whether you have no knowledge

00:03:13.920 of it. But once you get into it and you understand it, if you can have someone teach it to you and get

00:03:18.880 the basics down, it's a lot easier to kind of absorb. We tried to do it on our own, and we did

00:03:23.940 fairly well for about three years, but we worked hard on it for three years. We had Tika in my

00:03:29.320 office, and he explained it in about two hours. We were like, could you just do a course for anybody

00:03:34.860 who wants to learn this? This is really a smart thing to do. It's what's called a smart crypto

00:03:39.540 course. Go to smartcryptocourse.com. That's smartcryptocourse.com. This is a part of our future.

00:03:46.140 Everyone should have a basic understanding of this. Smartcryptocourse.com. It'll teach you

00:03:50.420 about crypto, also about blockchain. Call 1-877-PBL-BACK, 877-PBL-BACK, or just sign up at

00:03:58.800 smartcryptocourse.com.

00:04:01.340 So, I mean, it's really diverse, the women's movement. It's very, very diverse. If you hate

00:04:17.380 Jews, you're in. If you like Jews, well, it's not that diverse. Not that diverse. Let's not be crazy. 0.68

00:04:23.820 Tamika Mallory, Carmen Perez, Linda Sarsour, and Bob Bland. It's that diverse. Bob

00:04:32.080 can be a part. Bob Bland is an exciting name. It is. That's it. It's hard to be. It's hard to

00:04:39.200 have a sexy. You're not going into, like, performance. You're not going to be, like,

00:04:43.940 on American Idol. Like, that's not your future if you were born Bob Bland. Like, you're either

00:04:49.200 an accountant or you're managing some organization. Like the women's movement. Anyway, we've learned

00:04:56.540 about the anti-Semitism and that it is very common among these women. Teresa Shook, who founded the

00:05:03.140 Women's March, has repeatedly asked these people to step down. The co-chairs, quoting, have steered

00:05:12.100 the movement away from its true course. I have waited, hoping that they would right the ship,

00:05:17.780 she wrote, but they have not. In opposition to our unity principles, they have allowed

00:05:23.780 anti-Semitism, anti-LGB, LGBTQIA sentiment. Plus two. She didn't include the plus two. Okay.

00:05:35.900 And hateful racist rhetoric to become part of the platform by the refusal to separate themselves

00:05:42.100 from groups that espouse these racist and hateful beliefs. This is the creator of the movement

00:05:50.060 talking about the leadership of the movement. Tamika Mallory gave us the latest example. She

00:05:59.100 continues to stand by Louis Farrakhan. Listen to her response.

00:06:04.000 And Tamika, you came under some fire for your relationship with Louis Farrakhan and the Nation

00:06:11.260 of Islam. Now, he's known for being anti-Semitic, for being homophobic, but you do attend his events

00:06:20.120 and you posted, I believe, a photo together calling him the goat, which means the greatest of all time.

00:06:25.680 And you are running an organization that says it fights bigotry. Do you understand why your

00:06:32.760 association with him is quite problematic? No, I think it's important to put the, my attendance,

00:06:40.260 my presence at Savior's Day, which is the highest holy day for the Nation of Islam in proper context.

00:06:47.180 Okay. You know, as a leader, as a black leader in a country that is still dealing with some very

00:06:52.220 serious, unresolved issues as it relates to the black experience in this country, I go into a lot

00:06:58.460 of difficult spaces. Uh-huh. Here's where the real problem is. It's at the end of her nonsensical

00:07:05.960 answer. Listen. But let me push back a little bit. Why call him the greatest of all time? I didn't call

00:07:10.720 him the greatest of all time because of his rhetoric. I called him the greatest of all time because of

00:07:15.260 what he's done in black community. Hmm. Ah, okay. Okay. Here's a little taste of what he's done in the

00:07:22.560 black community. White folks are going down. And Satan is going down. And Farrakhan, by God's grace, 0.97

00:07:36.700 has pulled the cover off of that satanic Jew. And I'm here to say, your time is up. 1.00

00:07:54.420 So, I mean, you know, that's a, that's a, quite an accomplishment there. Uh, we are going to be

00:07:59.780 looking into the women's march on Thursday's television broadcast. You don't want to miss

00:08:06.160 that. Uh, you want the truth about, you know, the people who are running the women's, uh, march 0.99

00:08:11.480 movement have at it. The, the mainstream media won't give you all of this. They're not going to

00:08:18.440 say anything. They will talk about if you're a deplorable, how Hitlerite you are, even though 0.93

00:08:25.920 you don't like Hitler, you like the Jews, you support Israel, whatever it is, they'll still 1.00

00:08:32.780 tell you that you're a white supremacist and yada, yada, yada. But Louis Farrakhan can say these things

00:08:40.080 and they don't mind. We do. And we have the expose coming up on Thursday's television program,

00:08:46.680 only on the blaze TV. Speaking of television, I, I, uh, you know, look

00:08:52.960 no, let me just say this. Gillette, you're dead to me. You're dead to me. And I started watching

00:09:06.020 this with an open mind and I thought, okay, you know what? I, I agree with these things.

00:09:11.200 I don't want men to be pigs. I hate, I, I watched Mad Men. Did you watch Mad Men? No. Okay. So I 0.98

00:09:18.660 watched Mad Men and it's like, I can't believe the world was like that. Okay. It's not like that.

00:09:24.420 And if you are like that, you're a throwback and you just don't have any place. The world wasn't

00:09:28.780 like that. People were not that good looking back then. Okay. I'll give you, I'll give you that.

00:09:33.020 All right. So listen to this Gillette ad. Bullying. The Me Too movement against sexual

00:09:40.920 harassment. Toxic masculinity. Is this the best a man can get? That shows their commercials. Is it?

00:09:49.300 For the years. And now, we can't hide from it. Sexual harassment is taking over. It's been going on far

00:09:57.540 too long. We can't laugh it off. What I actually think she's trying to say. Making the same old

00:10:09.580 excuses. Stop for a second. Stop for a second. It's showing these images of, you know, comedy shows.

00:10:18.260 First of all, it's one of them is from like the 1950s. From the 1950s. You know, we still have that

00:10:27.220 happening with the women ogling the, the construction guy drinking a diet Coke. Um, but you know, it

00:10:34.020 shows, it shows stuff that we all know. We all look at now and go, ick. Okay. Um, it's showing a lot

00:10:41.280 of Gillette ads from the past, you know, good for them. Now go ahead. Boys will be boys. Boys will be

00:10:49.140 boys. Boys will be boys. It has these boys fighting. Allegations regarding sexual assault and sexual

00:10:55.460 harassment. Okay. And there will be no going back. Stop. So far, I'm like, okay. All right. I mean,

00:11:07.940 please don't preach to me, Gillette, but yeah. Okay. I get it. There's nothing you would disagree

00:11:12.640 with in this. It's just, and that's what pandering is, right? Like you, pandering is something you say

00:11:17.640 that no one can disagree with because you're trying to kiss the butt of your, of your audience. 0.96

00:11:21.880 Right. Here's, here's where it goes off the rails for me. Go ahead. Because we, we believe in the 0.82

00:11:29.780 best in men. Men need to hold other men accountable. Stop. Stop. That is something my father taught me.

00:11:38.660 That's some, I'm, I'm, I'm 54. That is something my father taught me. So why is this a new idea,

00:11:48.040 Gillette? That men have to be men, not boys. The problem with men is not men. It's boys. It's boys.

00:11:59.320 It's boys that never grow into men. I know what a man is. I was taught what a man is supposed to do.

00:12:08.860 And then I was taught, no, don't do any of those things. No, no, no. I was taught by feminists. No, 1.00

00:12:16.600 no, no. Don't you hold that door open. Don't you, don't you do that. Don't you stand when a woman 1.00

00:12:22.880 comes to the table? No, no, no. They're just like men. Well, a man stands at a table. 0.63

00:12:30.480 If a woman would like to stand at a table when I arrive, I don't mind. I think it's unnecessary, 1.00

00:12:37.500 but kind. Thank you. Wow. That's wow. Thank you for honoring me that way.

00:12:44.480 I just, I was just talking to my son this, uh, this weekend, a man stands to shake another man's

00:12:52.180 hand. If you're kind of sprawled out on the couch and somebody comes by and they're like, Hey dude,

00:12:56.520 just want to say, hi, they reached to shake your hand. You stand up and shake that man's hand.

00:13:02.960 That's what a man does. It's respect. Now I've grown up with that. I think most American men have

00:13:10.400 grown up with that, but let Gillette tell us what it's really like. Come on to say the right thing,

00:13:18.940 to act the right way. Some already are in ways big and small, but some is not enough because the

00:13:46.000 boys watching today will be the men of tomorrow. Yeah. Thank you, Gillette. Um, by the way,

00:13:54.020 Bic, Bic, I will always use Bic. I will never buy another Gillette product. How dare you? 0.99

00:14:02.220 How dare you lecture me about bullying, about bullying? It shows two boys fighting. Well,

00:14:11.080 boys will be boys calling each other names. Well, that's just the way they are. No now,

00:14:17.500 because we at the stupid razor company, we want you to know that we we're pulling for the ladies 1.00

00:14:24.580 we're pulling for the victims. What the hell do you think the American ethic is? Why do you think 1.00

00:14:31.640 our armed military is different than the rest? Because we don't go in and rape people. We go in

00:14:40.420 and we set them free and we try to set things right. And we try to show there's respect for

00:14:45.600 people. We go and rescue the Jews. We go and rescue the women. We go and rescue people because 0.99

00:14:52.460 that's what men do. Boys do not. Men do. Shut your pie hole, Gillette. 1.00

00:15:00.540 Sorry, I'm tired of it. Say a razor commercial, just in case you were wondering. I know. Isn't that 0.98

00:15:11.940 the point? That's part of what pisses me off. It's a razor commercial. You're selling us crap.

00:15:17.840 You lousy pieces of crap. You're selling us something. You got around. You sat around in a 1.00

00:15:23.980 boardroom and like, well, what can we do to really reach people? I know we can do. Shut up. Stop

00:15:29.720 manipulating us. Oh, OK. And by the way, for the people who like this Gillette commercial,

00:15:38.660 all the women who are cheering, aren't you the ones that are telling us about the evil 0.67

00:15:41.940 corporations? Huh? You're kind of missing it on this one, aren't you? All right. Well,

00:15:49.260 I'll talk about Brexit coming up in just a second. Let me give one minute on car shield. Car shield

00:15:56.020 is not going to lecture you on what men and, you know, are men and any of that stuff. Car shield

00:16:01.440 is just going to say, hey, do you have a car that is between 5,000, 150,000 miles? You're out of

00:16:06.360 warranty and you don't want to go in and pay a lot of money for a stupid sensor or something else that 0.99

00:16:12.940 would have been covered by warranty. Car shield has you covered. Car shield will take care of the 0.98

00:16:20.920 roadside assistance. They will take care of the rental car while yours is in the shop. If it's if

00:16:26.340 what's wrong with your car is is actually covered in the warranty, they'll take care of it. Everything

00:16:38.160 covered. Cost him five grand out of his pocket. How can you afford that? The average person can't

00:16:42.520 afford that. I just need my car back. Can you take that piece out and just give me my car back

00:17:17.200 This is the Glenn Beck program. So today is the day that we're supposed to they're supposed to vote

00:17:29.700 on Brexit. Now, in case you don't understand what's going on, let me just let me just sum it up in two

00:17:38.040 ways. You know, it's happening on our border where the people have voted and said they want a border

00:17:43.560 wall. They want border security. Let's just leave the border wall. They just want border

00:17:49.100 security. And the politicians haven't done it. And it's kind of pissing people off. That's what's

00:17:55.640 happening with Brexit. The people say, I don't want your immigration rules. I don't want I don't want

00:18:00.640 you telling us how to live our lives. We're English. We're British. So stop telling us how to live our

00:18:08.640 life. They're they're anti colonialists. They're saying to Europe, don't colonize us. We're our

00:18:17.640 separate culture. So that's what the people are saying. The politicians are doing exactly the same

00:18:24.400 thing that they're doing here in the United States. They'll say one thing. But when it comes

00:18:28.240 push to shove, they'll do another. So Theresa May has brokered this deal. Well, nobody in their right 0.98

00:18:35.820 mind wants this deal because it doesn't give their sovereignty back. They still can't make trade

00:18:41.860 agreements. They still they're not they're not Great Britain. They're still in the EU, but they

00:18:47.900 don't have to live by some of the rules like, you know, immigration, et cetera, et cetera. So the people

00:18:53.360 feel like we do when they talk about comprehensive immigration reform. We're all like, no, get this

00:18:59.360 done first. And then we'll talk about how what we're going to do after. That's exactly what's

00:19:05.280 happening over in England, but they have something else going on. And that is the Irish problem. 0.97

00:19:12.500 The Irish apparently and I didn't I didn't know this and I don't know if I fully understand this

00:19:17.160 correctly, but the Irish to solve the you know, remember the Protestant Catholic IRA kind of wars

00:19:25.420 that were going on where they wanted to break away from Great Britain. The way they solve that

00:19:30.860 apparently was if you were in Ireland, you could have a British passport or you could have an Irish

00:19:35.260 passport. You could do one or the other. You could be a British citizen or an Irish citizen,

00:19:40.480 stay in the Commonwealth. But you kind of you know, you have self-determination and we're going to open

00:19:47.120 up the borders, et cetera, et cetera. So it wasn't a problem when everybody was in the EU. But now

00:19:53.000 Ireland has voted to stay in the EU. So what do you do? It's Great Britain. It'd be like if Florida

00:20:00.000 decided, you know what, we want to stay in the in the TPP. We want to stay in this this new agreement.

00:20:08.900 We still want to be part of America, kind of. But we want to we want our own thing. We're not going

00:20:17.480 to we're not going to do this treaty that the rest of America is doing. And it's a trade trade

00:20:21.980 agreement. Well, what would happen? First of all, that would start to eat away at the union. If

00:20:28.980 if Florida could do that, why couldn't Texas? Why couldn't others? And so you get on the slippery

00:20:34.420 slope of you don't really have a union. So there's one problem with it. The second problem is if if

00:20:41.300 Florida was making their own trade agreements, one side or the other, America or Florida is going to

00:20:50.720 have better deals on certain products. So let's say they made a really great deal with Germany

00:20:57.800 because Germany was pissed at Donald Trump or whatever. And so they started getting Mercedes

00:21:02.420 in and they had them at really low prices, no tariffs, everything else. Well, people from the 1.00

00:21:07.680 other states would go in and buy that Mercedes in Florida and then drive it out. Well, how do you work

00:21:14.000 with that? Because it's part of our country. Do we have to put a border there? Do we have to have

00:21:18.960 tariffs? Do we have to have new laws restricting what Florida can do? And we have to stop Florida 0.62

00:21:24.720 from coming in. And let's say, you know, United States had cheap steel. But because Florida decided

00:21:30.780 not to do it, they're going to have to buy steel with the tariff. So how do we stop steel from going

00:21:37.880 into Florida? And how about those citizens who are like, look, I didn't want anything to do with 0.90

00:21:44.320 this. I'm an American citizen. I have every right. That's what's happening now with Brexit.

00:21:50.400 And it's because of the politicians making this overly complex. I think with an exception of

00:21:58.600 Ireland, I think that is a complex problem. But they're trying to go in and not do what's called

00:22:05.680 a hard exit, which just says we're out. And that's what the people want. And if they don't do this,

00:22:14.940 you're going to see increased strife in England against the politicians. And it's only going to make

00:22:21.960 things much, much worse. You're listening to Glenn Beck. Okay, so I start Field of Greens. Why do I start

00:22:34.800 Field of Greens, Stu? Why do I start? Because you don't want to eat salads, Glenn. Yeah, yeah. Or any other

00:22:57.860 And she's like, no, that's what we're going to do.

00:23:37.620 the Gillette commercial coming up next with Pat Gray. Let me give a free advertisement here for

00:23:45.680 the Dollar Shave Club as I open up my, uh, my envelope, uh, that I get from the Dollar Shave

00:23:53.320 Club and I, oh, I get my new razor blades from them, but I also get, uh, a little, like a little

00:24:00.820 toilet reader and stuff like that, which I don't get from Gillette. Uh, so hello, welcome to the

00:24:09.340 program. Pat Gray from Pat Gray Unleashed, the podcast that you can hear, uh, live, uh, every

00:24:14.600 day before this program and then download it at your leisure and your, uh, your, your time that

00:24:20.380 you want to listen to it. Do you actually use blades now? Uh, I haven't used blades since I was

00:24:26.920 in high school. Yeah. About half the time. I have what's called a newfangled invention called an

00:24:34.840 electric razor. Do you? Yeah. Interesting. Yeah. It's strange. You're going to switch to, to Gillette

00:24:39.580 now though, after this ad, because if you don't, I mean, really you hate women, right? And now I'm

00:24:44.640 even more committed to not using Gillette. Yeah. Yeah. Cause you do. I'll never, I'll never, I don't

00:24:50.780 really care. I I've never, you know, big, you know, Gillette clamshell. I don't really care.

00:24:57.420 Usually does it have a sharp edge that I can trim my beard with? I care. Okay. I care. And by the way,

00:25:03.340 the edge, that's, that's, that's the name of a guy, not the flamingo flamingo. What is the

00:25:10.020 flamingo? I think the flamingo is their new pastel colored men razor. I think maybe it's, maybe it's for 1.00

00:25:17.240 women. I don't know. I saw the Gillette ad on the same deal about the, you know, the, the commercial 0.82

00:25:24.480 or about the, yeah, about the men's commercial. So maybe it was just an auto fill thing and it was

00:25:30.800 a women's razor, but it appeared to be a man's razor. I don't care enough to even look into it, 0.95

00:25:35.640 but if that's your idea of a man's razor, wow. Wow. See, that's, you're exactly the man they're

00:25:42.840 talking to in this commercial. Yeah. Am I, am I, am I, am I, I want you to, I, you know,

00:25:48.900 Gillette, I invite you to my house for a while and hear the things that I teach my son and then

00:25:54.760 lecture me. You are a giant corporation that is only trying to sell a product. You don't really

00:26:02.740 care because you were the one pumping sweet cheeks into my living room for decades. You are 1.00

00:26:10.740 the ones that said, Hey, girls find this sexy and hot. Woo. Uh, put your, put your cheek next to 0.96

00:26:20.880 mine, sweet cheeks. Uh, and they weren't talking necessarily about the cheek on your face. Wow.

00:26:27.340 That's toxic. That was a toxic rant. These, these guys, if, if it, if they could sell more razors by

00:26:35.440 being pigs, they would, they would, of course it would. Of course. Yes. That was the plan. Right. 0.99

00:26:41.820 They did it. And this is just like, we are unhappy with our market share of women's razors. So here's 1.00

00:26:46.840 a commercial for you about how good women are. Like it's so transparent and awful. Well, they say

00:26:52.220 that this is to sell the men's razor, but is there a guy within the sound of my voice that watches that

00:26:58.580 commercial and hasn't already been raising your son to be that kind of a man and, and doesn't

00:27:04.800 have a visceral reaction to how aggravating and maddening this and insulting this commercial is.

00:27:12.680 Right. Cause it's not, it's unbelievable. It's not even the content, right? There's nothing in

00:27:16.560 there that anyone would disagree with, but that's the point. That's what's annoying. It's like so

00:27:20.560 insulting. The disagreement comes from the sweeping indictment on an entire gender of human

00:27:27.700 beings. That's the implication here is that men are bad and we want you to be better from

00:27:33.020 at Gillette. But they said some were okay. They said some were okay. It's also like watching BP or

00:27:41.480 Exxon do their commercials. You know, people are burning fossil fuels. Right. Yeah. And you're like,

00:27:49.500 what? You're the people who've been pumping that it, literally pumping that for decades.

00:27:56.840 Amazingly. They're doing that too. Yeah, I know they are. They really are doing that,

00:28:00.900 but at least they're lecturing themselves. Yeah. You know what I mean? At least BP is like beyond

00:28:06.420 petroleum. No, you're not. You're petroleum. Well, but we'd like to be beyond petroleum. Okay. Well,

00:28:13.180 they actually had a legitimate Brexit. I'd like to have wings too. They Brexited their name.

00:28:16.740 We're not British anymore. We're beyond petroleum. Right. That's, that's amazing. It's just,

00:28:22.920 it just strikes me as embarrassing. There is a level there of, of the sort of dominoes approach

00:28:27.720 though. Isn't there where they're like, ah, you know, our pizza used to suck, but now we're,

00:28:30.900 now our pizza's good. That's kind of what they're doing. They're like, they're showing their own ads

00:28:34.820 and saying, but wait, wait, wait, we don't like the Dustin Hoffman has to answer today for something

00:28:41.380 that he did or said while filming the graduate. Okay. Gillette doesn't have to explain what they

00:28:50.700 were doing. I wasn't a Gillette that did Joe Namath. It was one of them. I mean, they don't have to

00:28:58.780 explain. They don't, they don't, they don't, they don't actually have to explain what they were doing

00:29:05.120 when they were selling sex and razors back in the seventies or the eighties or the nineties,

00:29:10.120 or maybe two years ago. They don't have to answer for any of that. But if I, God forbid said something,

00:29:17.200 my son said something in 1995, my life is destroyed. How dare you? It's really weird. And I think,

00:29:26.240 uh, this is a strange thing. We've talked for years. I mean, how long have we been doing the show?

00:29:29.940 And we've talked about how, you know, the left and the media are pushing the boundaries and we're

00:29:35.020 losing those sort of traditional values, right? Like everybody's having sex with everybody. And 0.87

00:29:38.840 that's like, like they've now combined that with like this really odd puritanical set of demands

00:29:45.300 where you can't like, you can't talk about sex. You can't talk about any of these things. Like

00:29:50.300 you have to, at the same time, be way over the line and break every barrier, uh, of, of what was at

00:29:56.820 one point, good taste. But at the same time, you can't say anything to anybody. It's a new religion. 0.70

00:30:01.580 It is. It's a new religion. These are the puritanical priests that will tell you what 0.95

00:30:08.840 you can and cannot say. And what's, what's so aggravating about this is you're the one always

00:30:16.040 saying to us that we're too, we're too tight. We're too, uh, we're too afraid of sex and everything

00:30:24.180 else. We, we just want everybody to be wholesome. And well, now what is that Gillette ad? That

00:30:29.820 Gillette ad is teaching your children to be wholesome. It's teaching your children not to

00:30:37.300 ogle girls, not to pinch their ass, not to, not to whistle at them and cat call them. 0.99

00:30:44.240 And it's a good thing Gillette came along because I was teaching my kids exactly the opposite. 0.99

00:30:49.000 That's the only reason why I taught my son how to whistle. You're right. I put my kid

00:30:51.940 in cat call class. I was teaching him how to be a better cat caller. I put him in construction

00:30:58.020 sites, uh, so that he could learn from the workers. Oh, that's a smart thing. That's

00:31:01.340 very smart. All construction sites. They're all that way. All men are like that. That's what

00:31:05.940 they do. Right. You know, toxic masculinity. Amen. It's just poison spilling out of these

00:31:13.600 men. Just poison spilling out of them. Thank you, Pat. Thank you for saying that. You're 0.98

00:31:18.060 welcome. Okay. Had to be said, can I talk to you about, can I talk to you about a, a poisonous

00:31:23.520 man? Absolutely. A guy who has just, you're going to have to narrow it down though. I mean,

00:31:30.340 it's all men. Well, everybody's going to know this one, Tim Allen. He is the worst of the

00:31:34.720 worst. I mean, he's been pushing that. That'd be a bad kind of man. Your whole, our whole life. 0.99

00:31:41.500 Well, ABC did the right thing by firing him. Um, unless you're looking for money or ratings,

00:31:48.220 uh, Fox just put them on debuted. He had great ratings for a show that I really haven't seen

00:31:56.200 talked about. I didn't know it. It was even, I would have watched it had I known that it

00:32:00.160 was coming back. It was coming back. Um, but here is, uh, here's, uh, here's just a real

00:32:06.240 quick clip of the new Tim Allen show as it's back on Fox. Oh, no, I'm trying to DVR my favorite

00:32:13.000 show, but it's not on. Oh, well, maybe it got canceled. You know, the TV business can be

00:32:19.460 a heartless bastard. Hey, canceled. Why would they cancel a popular show that everybody loves? 0.99

00:32:26.740 Maybe they're a bunch of idiots. Just try another channel. Oh, no, Mike, they don't 1.00

00:32:39.260 just take a show off one network and put it on a different. Hey, there it is. You're right,

00:32:46.300 Mr. B. Am I wrong? Or is it like way better on this network? Way better. Way better. I'll

00:33:02.900 be damned. I've never heard of this happening before. Well, it's pretty rare, but show must 0.92

00:33:07.040 have a lot of loyal kick-ass fans. How great is that? How great is satisfying? Yeah. Yeah.

00:33:14.500 Well, if he just wasn't so toxic in his masculinity, I think tools, you know, he wants to talk about

00:33:20.340 tools. He did tools. That's that men tools, power tools. And that means women in short shorts. Oh 1.00

00:33:29.400 my goodness. Oh my goodness. Well, Gillette, thank goodness. Thank goodness. Not if that show 0.50

00:33:35.520 is number one, Gillette will not advertise. I'm sure. All right. Thanks, Pat. Um, let's talk

00:33:43.260 about the X chair sitting in the, uh, X chair now doing the broadcast. Uh, you can have an X chair

00:33:49.160 just like this one. Carol Merrill, tell us a little something about it. Uh, what? I don't know what

00:33:56.940 you're talking about. Well, you keep purses in safes. I thought you were, I thought you were the least 0.98

00:34:01.380 masculine here in the room. Uh, really? Do you want to revisit your, my wife is telling me what to eat

00:34:07.400 for every meal for a month and it's all lettuce? Is it going to revisit that one? Uh, I think I will

00:34:13.300 defend your folder. Your honor, may I just point out, I'll defend that one all day long compared to

00:34:21.800 I bought a safe and my wife puts all of the person what we, we don't keep guns. We don't keep any

00:34:29.100 manly stuff in there. We keep her purses in that. Yeah. I'll do. Oh, you, you, you keep working on that

00:34:35.580 and wait, wait till I turn these things in. I'm going to be living on an, I'll buy my private

00:34:39.640 island with these purses in a few months. I'll tell you about the X chair because I like it and

00:34:45.720 not you. Uh, the X chair is comfortable when you have to sit and let's say you're in an office and

00:34:50.740 you might sit across from someone who you really don't like. Yeah. It has wheels on the bottom so

00:34:54.760 you can wheel away. It's really comfortable. It has a million different adjustments and they have

00:34:59.800 the X chair basic now, right? Which is great. Especially I think if you have a home office, if you're

00:35:07.120 and that's your job, you got to treat yourself to something nice here when it comes to the chair,

00:35:42.640 So what's happened with Stephen King?

00:35:45.020 The author? He's been actually, I think, overrated for a really long time.

00:35:48.940 Steve King. How about Steve King?

00:35:50.840 Steve King from Iowa.

00:35:51.820 Yes.

00:35:52.200 Yes. I don't know exactly. We've been looking into this.

00:35:55.680 Steve's always been rock solid. I've never had a question about Steve King ever until recently.

00:36:04.140 And he's been controversial with the media for a while, but a lot of Republicans are.

00:36:08.380 I've never thought Steve King, oh, he's a racist. He's a white supremacist. Oh, he hates whatever. 0.98

00:36:13.860 And never, ever have I thought that about Steve King.

00:36:18.140 There's something that bothers me about this whole incident.

00:36:21.840 Explain what's going on.

00:36:23.280 He did an interview with the New York Times in which he said, the quote was, I believe, white supremacist, white nationalist, Western civilization.

00:36:34.500 When did this language become offensive?

00:36:36.980 That was the money quote, right?

00:36:38.860 So, they're saying, basically, like, you didn't know that white supremacy was offensive?

00:36:44.520 But his explanation is, he was talking about, people are always talking about white supremacy and white nationalism.

00:36:51.540 The Western culture. When did Western culture become offensive?

00:36:56.460 And there's some reason to believe that's what he meant, and that his next sentence was, I took classes on this, and they told me about the merits of it, and is that bad now?

00:37:06.820 Now, no one took a white supremacy class.

00:37:08.980 No one took a white nationalist class.

00:37:10.720 You did take Western civilization classes.

00:37:12.800 A lot of people did.

00:37:13.580 So, you know, there's some reason to believe that that's what he was referring to, and really, it comes down to, on this particular quote, and a lot of people can bring up things on the side of Steve King, and I think we should talk about those, too.

00:37:26.600 But on this particular quote, there's no audio of it.

00:37:29.540 I have yet to see the context in which it happened.

00:37:32.360 You know, I don't understand why we haven't seen the entire transcript of this interview yet.

00:37:35.860 I want to see it.

00:37:36.760 It may very well be that he did something terrible here, and he is this bad guy.

00:37:41.360 But, I mean, but, like, there's a period, there's a comma instead of a period in this quote, where it says, white nationalist, comma, white supremacy, comma, and Western civilization, or it doesn't even say and.

00:37:55.300 It's just Western civilization, when did these things become offensive, or when did this language become offensive?

00:38:01.160 If you put a period after Western, or white nationalism, so he's maybe referring to something else, white supremacy, white nationalism.

00:38:08.560 Listen, Western civilization should not be controversial.

00:38:12.160 If that's a point he's making, I think most people, most certainly most Republicans would not disagree with it.

00:38:16.900 I think what he's saying is that, I'm saying all of these charges, you're this, you're that, you're this, you're that, you're a white supremacist, you know, you're a white nationalist.

00:38:28.880 Western civilization is, remember when Katie Couric said to me, what is the white culture?

00:38:40.300 Right, exactly.

00:38:40.780 Okay.

00:38:41.240 Remember, he's fighting that point, theoretically fighting that point.

00:38:44.320 Correct.

00:38:44.840 Katie, it's everything that you and people like you are now saying is horrible.

00:38:50.720 It's Western civilization, Western civilization.

00:38:56.200 Yes, people of many colors and many backgrounds and many religions and many non-religions helped formulate this.

00:39:03.640 Yeah.

00:39:03.820 But generally speaking, it was European.

00:39:07.760 And even Tim Scott, who came out and wrote an op-ed saying how bad Steve King's comments were, says,

00:39:13.120 if it's Western civilization, we all agree that we can defend that, but he's just not getting the benefit of the doubt, even from people who would be friendly with him.

00:39:22.020 And he's had, he's had everything taken away from him on Capitol Hill.

00:39:27.440 You know, everybody, even diehard supporters of him have, have bailed on him.

00:39:32.880 But I, but I wonder if it's bailing on him because.

00:39:36.700 I feel like this is the last straw.

00:39:37.980 The last straw.

00:39:38.920 It just makes it impossible.

00:39:40.020 It's just too hard to defend somebody.

00:39:42.460 And I don't know this, this particular thing doesn't, there's something I can't square with it, with this New York times quote.

00:39:48.020 It doesn't, it doesn't make sense.

00:39:49.140 And we can go over the details on that, but like, you know, his, his endorsement for the Toronto mayor thing was, was really bad to me.

00:39:55.000 Really bad.

00:39:55.680 It was to me too.

00:39:56.420 So I don't know.

00:39:57.600 I don't know what's going on with him.

00:39:59.720 Reach out to him because we've had respect for him for years and I don't even know what to think on this one.

00:40:06.920 You know, it doesn't look good, but I would want somebody to give me a fair hearing.

00:40:12.140 So let's, let's have Steve on and let him explain whether you buy into it or not.

00:40:17.300 At least let us give him a fair hearing.

00:40:20.800 Um, okay.

00:40:22.440 Uh, home title lock is our sponsor.

00:40:24.200 Uh, and home title lock is a great company because they are the only ones who can do what they do.

00:40:29.360 Uh, if you want to protect your title from home title fraud, which is a, one of the fastest growing crimes in America, you need home title lock.

00:40:35.600 Um, and really you can't use anybody else because home title lock is the only, are there the only people who do this?

00:40:40.920 Um, they put a virtual barrier around your home's title and mortgage so that people can't transfer it into their name and borrow against the equity.

00:40:48.920 And this is happening across the country and it can cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars.

00:40:52.860 It's a disaster if it happens to you.

00:40:54.960 Um, so home title lock.com is the place to go.

00:40:57.380 They have a free, uh, title scan and report.

00:40:59.660 It's a hundred dollar value.

00:41:00.560 They'll give it to you free when you sign up.

00:41:05.460 Uh, home title lock.com protect your most valuable asset.

00:41:16.440 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:41:19.820 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:41:22.280 I am so excited for this interview.

00:41:24.420 This is one of those things, you know, I've told you in the past, I, you know, I lived at the time when Tokyo Rose was still alive and she had such a tale to tell.

00:41:35.580 And she died and I didn't reach out and talk to her.

00:41:39.860 I mean, these people who have experienced history or making history, I mean, I've got the greatest job in the world.

00:41:46.840 All we have to do is call them and go, Hey, would you come on the air and talk to us?

00:41:50.740 There is somebody who everyone in this audience, I think, would you say that's pretty safe to say what?

00:41:58.520 90% of everyone in this audience.

00:42:00.120 Yeah, sure.

00:42:00.900 Knows this person's voice, but you know nothing about her and you have no idea the story of how it got from her mouth to your iPhone.

00:42:16.120 You have no idea.

00:42:18.060 She didn't even have an idea.

00:42:19.880 I won't tell you her name yet.

00:42:21.460 I'm just going to tell you that her, her Twitter handle is seriously, Susan, seriously, Susan in one minute.

00:42:36.640 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:42:38.920 Okay.

00:42:39.400 There's about 7 million people getting hit with a flu this time of year.

00:42:43.180 If one more person asked me if I've had a flu shot, no, I haven't had a flu shot.

00:42:49.180 When did this become an absolute must?

00:42:52.080 I mean, it's not a bad idea.

00:42:53.420 I don't mind.

00:42:54.040 You know, I just, when did this become a must?

00:42:56.180 We didn't have everybody crying over flu shots when I was growing up and we all pretty much survived.

00:43:01.160 When did this, when did this happen?

00:43:02.760 You take flu shots all the time?

00:43:04.100 I do get them every year.

00:43:05.860 Yeah.

00:43:06.120 Every year you get them.

00:43:07.240 But I don't think it's, I mean, there's been years I haven't.

00:43:09.680 Right.

00:43:09.920 I mean, I get them sometimes.

00:43:11.300 I don't get them sometimes.

00:43:12.380 Why is everybody making such a big deal?

00:43:14.120 Did you get your flu shot?

00:43:15.460 No, I didn't.

00:43:16.220 You should have a flu shot.

00:43:17.320 Why should I have a flu shot?

00:43:18.480 Is it like, is it something really, really bad this year compared to last year? 1.00

00:43:23.320 Get off my back about the damn flu shots. 0.99

00:43:26.660 I've got other things I'm worried about. 1.00

00:43:29.680 Like I haven't, I haven't changed my air filters yet.

00:43:32.860 Nobody's asking me, have you changed your air filter yet?

00:43:35.820 No, you should change your air filter.

00:43:39.460 You know what?

00:43:40.500 I hired a company to send me air filters.

00:43:44.660 So nobody ever has to ask me, have you changed your air filter yet?

00:43:48.760 Typical rich person thing.

00:43:50.140 He just gets to get people to come and do all of the stuff for him.

00:43:53.060 No, you can just, you can go right now to filterby.com and you can actually save money

00:43:59.640 by having your filters delivered directly to you.

00:44:24.480 I'm just saying filterby.com. 1.00

00:44:27.900 Filterby.com.

00:44:28.300 That sounds a little anti-human, doesn't it?

00:44:31.340 It does.

00:44:32.520 It does.

00:44:33.120 Good thing we have Siri on with us next.

00:44:37.180 Filterby.com.

00:44:38.340 That's filterby.com.

00:44:49.420 Susan Bennett is her name.

00:44:52.120 Susan Bennett, the original voice of Siri.

00:44:55.860 Welcome to the program.

00:44:57.180 How are you?

00:44:58.300 Hello, Glenn.

00:45:01.600 It is so.

00:45:02.760 First of all, I want to get into your history, but just answer this.

00:45:05.960 You didn't even know you were going to be Siri, did you?

00:45:09.500 Correct.

00:45:10.400 I had no idea.

00:45:11.960 And when you actually got a phone call from a friend who said, I just got this new Apple

00:45:16.240 iPhone, it sounds just like you.

00:45:18.800 Yes, it was an email and a fellow voice actor.

00:45:22.200 So he recognized my voice and he said, yeah, this sounds just like you.

00:45:28.580 So I went on the Apple side and listened and I said, well, that's because it is me.

00:45:33.840 Isn't that weird?

00:45:35.000 I want to get into this whole story with you.

00:45:37.580 But let's start at the beginning.

00:45:39.540 You've been a voice actor for a long time, which is quite honestly, my dream job.

00:45:46.420 You don't have to think.

00:45:48.420 All you have to do is just read the words and just think about how they sound the best.

00:45:54.200 That's fantastic.

00:45:55.640 You don't actually have to come up with like stuff.

00:45:58.240 You can roll in and do it.

00:46:00.780 I'm sure that's not the actual case.

00:46:02.800 It's right.

00:46:03.280 No, that's the way I want to believe it.

00:46:04.760 Susan, that's the way it is.

00:46:06.020 Right.

00:46:06.220 Just say yes.

00:46:07.160 Oh, yes.

00:46:07.680 You can believe that if you'd like.

00:46:09.520 Why do you sound like Siri talking down to me when you say that?

00:46:12.460 Well, yes, Siri does that.

00:46:13.980 Okay.

00:46:14.920 The original Siri did that.

00:46:17.060 So you were actually working in studios and the voice actor didn't show up and you're like,

00:46:21.380 I can do this, right?

00:46:22.780 No, actually, the owner of the studio at the time said, Susan, you don't have an accent.

00:46:29.660 I bet you could read this copy.

00:46:31.080 So I read it and said, oh, yes, I can do that.

00:46:34.100 And as a true freelancer, I was excited to find another avenue to pursue to make a living.

00:46:40.260 Because you were a backup singer for Roy Orbison.

00:46:44.180 Correct.

00:46:45.460 I mean, that's like, cool Siri was like a backup singer.

00:46:49.740 Oh, and I got to sing a duet with him in concert.

00:46:52.360 I played the Emmylou Harris part.

00:46:55.620 Yeah, it was exciting.

00:46:56.640 We traveled all over the world.

00:46:58.140 And Burt Bacharach?

00:46:59.580 Yes.

00:47:00.080 So like you have serious musical chops.

00:47:03.120 Well, that was really exciting.

00:47:05.620 It was truly a high point in my life.

00:47:08.840 Do you sing anymore?

00:47:10.760 Oh, yes.

00:47:12.040 Yeah, I sing all the time.

00:47:13.880 My husband and I had a band together for close to 25 years.

00:47:18.500 I was two when I started.

00:47:20.540 Holy cow. 0.89

00:47:22.360 And, yeah, we still play together.

00:47:24.980 And right now, the only consistent thing we do, actually, is we're in a band called Boomers Gone Wild.

00:47:32.380 And we play nothing but 60s and 70s rock and soul music.

00:47:35.620 That's cool.

00:47:35.980 And everybody in the band plays by ear.

00:47:37.760 So we take requests.

00:47:39.020 And we even play songs we don't really know.

00:47:41.720 So it's a lot of fun.

00:47:42.960 We should.

00:47:43.880 I mean, we have calls for bands from time to time.

00:47:46.320 We do fundraisers and stuff.

00:47:48.480 Are you still for hire?

00:47:50.680 Oh, absolutely.

00:47:51.860 Are you kidding?

00:47:52.640 Yeah.

00:47:52.860 Oh, yeah.

00:47:53.260 Are you any good?

00:47:54.200 We're always for hire.

00:47:55.440 Are you guys good?

00:47:56.280 Well, I'm not going to say we're not good.

00:47:59.680 Okay.

00:47:59.760 All right.

00:48:00.100 All right.

00:48:00.440 All right.

00:48:01.600 So you started doing commercials.

00:48:05.240 And can you give us any things that you've said that we might have heard pre-Siri?

00:48:09.440 Oh, dear.

00:48:12.980 Because you did stuff for McDonald's.

00:48:15.000 No, nothing really specific.

00:48:15.460 It's just, you know, and in the past, when, you know, before technology allowed all voice

00:48:21.620 actors to just work from home, and it's basically up to the engineers to put the commercial together.

00:48:27.440 Yeah.

00:48:27.860 Back in the day when we would all get in the studio together, it was a lot more fun.

00:48:32.300 And actually, you were talking about the fact that, oh, you just have to show up and

00:48:35.380 read the copy.

00:48:35.960 Well, sometimes that wasn't the case when we all got in the studio together.

00:48:39.440 Because sometimes we would, you know, improvise things, and they would actually say, oh, that's

00:48:44.100 better than the script.

00:48:45.360 Let's use that.

00:48:46.820 So, yeah.

00:48:48.320 So.

00:48:49.180 So you did, you know, you did the loudspeaker announcements over for Delta Airlines for their

00:48:55.860 gates.

00:48:57.620 You did Macy's, McDonald's, Goodyear's, Papa John, IBM, Coca-Cola.

00:49:03.400 You also were, you were the voice of a lot of GPSs where you're like, at the next, go

00:49:08.520 ahead, say it.

00:49:09.020 At the next safe spot.

00:49:11.260 In a quarter of a mile, make a left turn.

00:49:14.080 Oh, my gosh.

00:49:14.820 Oh, my gosh.

00:49:15.440 That's amazing.

00:49:16.020 That is so wild.

00:49:17.980 People, do people ever, like, get into a car with you and just be like, that's weird.

00:49:22.440 That's just weird.

00:49:24.340 Well, some people, you know, it's amazing that some people really, really don't hear as

00:49:30.080 acutely as you might think.

00:49:31.620 Because when they, they actually altered the original Siri voice with the iPhone 5S.

00:49:38.180 And I was one of the few people that really thought that it was different.

00:49:41.980 Most people didn't recognize the change at all.

00:49:44.140 And it turns out that it, they did not get another actor at that point.

00:49:48.720 They actually just manipulated my voice, you know, with computers and manipulated audiologically

00:49:55.060 to sound just a little bit different.

00:49:56.700 And finally, the only really acknowledgement from Apple that I've had is if you ask Siri

00:50:04.760 today, who I am, she will say Susan Bennett is an American voice actor and the original

00:50:10.820 voice of Siri up to OS 11, which, you know, was last year.

00:50:15.820 And now suddenly, yeah, Siri's a millennial now.

00:50:20.200 Okay, so your voice is not being used at all for Siri now.

00:50:24.120 Nope, I'm done.

00:50:25.180 I've had my, I've had my stint at Siri.

00:50:27.460 It's over.

00:50:28.080 Wow.

00:50:28.580 So now, this is the, this is the really interesting part to me.

00:50:33.240 Because you didn't, like, when you, when you did GPS, or you did Lucent Technologies,

00:50:39.720 and, you know, for the operator, press, go ahead, say one of those things.

00:50:42.880 Um, yes, for, for Susan Bennett, please press one.

00:50:48.200 Right, okay.

00:50:49.240 For all other calls, just hang up.

00:50:52.740 And when you did things for the GPS, like at the next, you know, next light turn, you

00:50:57.880 actually had to say those things?

00:51:00.260 Well, no, um, any, anything that was recorded for the Nuance company, which is, uh, the biggest

00:51:08.040 IBR company in the world, and from which Apple got all the Siri voices.

00:51:13.200 And people go, wait a minute, all the Siri voices?

00:51:15.480 Well, you have to remember that I do not speak every language in the, in the world.

00:51:19.160 And so they had, uh, other voices doing different language, languages for different, um, countries.

00:51:25.420 And so we didn't, we really had no idea.

00:51:30.960 Uh, the recordings were done, my recordings were done in 2005.

00:51:35.780 I've spoken to some other people that started even earlier than that.

00:51:39.520 We recorded all of these sentences and phrases that were recorded, that were created just

00:51:44.620 to get all the sound combinations in the language.

00:51:47.200 For instance, can you remember any of those?

00:51:49.420 Oh, of course.

00:51:50.380 Cow hoist in the tub hut today.

00:51:53.240 What?

00:51:53.700 Wait, wait, wait.

00:51:54.120 Say fossa, ask fossa, ask fossa.

00:51:55.780 Wait, wait, say them again?

00:51:57.720 Cow hoist in the tub hut today.

00:52:00.960 Say fossa, ask fossa, ask fossa.

00:52:03.780 You could hear from the sound.

00:52:05.220 They were just trying to get the sounds.

00:52:06.740 Oh, wow.

00:52:07.080 And we read just thousands and thousands of those phrases.

00:52:10.100 And it was actually very, very tedious.

00:52:12.060 And, and, uh, you know, I think I actually had a little brain damage during that time.

00:52:16.460 I bet you did.

00:52:17.280 But you had no idea who was actually on the other end buying this.

00:52:23.020 And no, we were sort of told that we were just doing generic phone messaging.

00:52:27.840 But, you know, we were doing recordings for phone systems.

00:52:31.140 And, you know, I guess it's a combination of naivete and, uh, just the, the desire to

00:52:38.260 do a lot of work that we found ourselves in this position of, of having our voices used,

00:52:43.400 uh, in a lot of different places, uh, basically without our permission.

00:52:49.360 Um, it, um, it's a complicated thing, but the way I look at it is we sort of, we sort

00:52:55.080 of were in the middle of that, uh, transition period between doing business as usual and

00:53:03.420 doing business with, you know, the, at the speed of technology.

00:53:06.980 Yeah.

00:53:07.300 So we really had no idea exactly what we were doing.

00:53:09.880 Right.

00:53:10.320 Um, I will have to say it was a, you know, it was a little troubling at first to realize

00:53:14.060 that.

00:53:14.580 And then it's sort of like anything else in life that you're surprised by something you

00:53:19.300 don't expect.

00:53:20.300 And you have to figure out a way to, uh, to deal with it, adapt, adjust, and spin it to

00:53:25.380 the positive for yourself, which is what I've done.

00:53:27.920 And it's turned out to be really, uh, an incredible thing.

00:53:31.740 It's, it's really, it's really been a very fabulous thing for me, especially at this particular

00:53:37.720 time in my life.

00:53:38.660 So I want to talk to you, take a one minute break, Susan, then I want to come back and I

00:53:42.920 want to talk to you about, um, because you didn't record it, you, you, you basically handed

00:53:50.080 one thing that is uniquely you, your voice, and it's saying things that you never said

00:53:58.180 and, uh, and how that plays, uh, in a person's head and, and also, um, uh, should there be

00:54:07.460 a law, uh, should there be something that says, Hey, a voice is unique?

00:54:13.360 I mean, I, I think this is the future actors, old actors, anybody, if you don't own the

00:54:18.620 rights to yourself, um, you can now be manipulated and, and you could be a movie star, but it's

00:54:25.760 not you.

00:54:27.140 Um, and I want to talk to you about that.

00:54:28.800 Susan Bennett, the, the original voice of Siri.

00:54:31.220 Uh, when we come back, all right, one minute, and then we're back with, uh, we're back with

00:54:38.240 Siri first, let me tell you about relief factor, uh, relief factor, uh, I've been taking for

00:54:44.500 about a year now.

00:54:45.440 And, you know, I know a lot of people will talk to you about relief factor.

00:54:49.760 Other shows have, uh, talked to you about it and you can, you know, trust them and whatever,

00:54:54.020 but I don't know if they actually take it.

00:54:56.440 Uh, I've, I do not endorse things that you put into your body.

00:55:01.380 I don't think I've ever endorsed things in the last 20 years.

00:55:04.480 Stu, can you think of anything heroin?

00:55:07.220 But I mean, that was, uh, it was a minor campaign.

00:55:09.520 Yeah.

00:55:09.780 Okay.

00:55:10.780 Um, yeah, there was that heroin thing.

00:55:13.000 Um, uh, but I, you know, when it comes to ingesting stuff, if I'm not taking it, I won't

00:55:19.640 talk to you about it.

00:55:20.600 And if I don't see results, I won't talk to you about it.

00:55:23.520 Uh, relief factor, 100% drug free created by doctors for key ingredients that help your

00:55:30.400 body fight against inflammation.

00:55:32.080 And that is one of the biggest problems we have when it comes to pain.

00:55:35.660 I've taken it for a year.

00:55:37.080 Now you'd have to take it three times a day.

00:55:38.780 It's no big deal.

00:55:39.700 You take them breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

00:55:41.360 Um, and my pain has greatly reduced, greatly reduced, um, to a point to where I can function.

00:55:49.660 And I, you know, don't get up every day going, I can't live this way anymore.

00:55:54.600 It's a nice little bonus for your life.

00:55:56.040 It really is.

00:55:56.860 Try the three week quick starts only 1995.

00:55:59.360 It's a dollar a day.

00:56:00.640 It's a trial pack.

00:56:01.820 You try it.

00:56:02.820 If it works, you order more.

00:56:04.940 If it doesn't, you're out 20 bucks.

00:56:07.100 But if it does work like it does with 70% of the people who try it, you get your life

00:56:12.720 back.

00:56:13.880 ReliefFactor.com.

00:56:15.300 All right.

00:56:15.900 Pause for 10 seconds.

00:56:16.820 Station ID.

00:56:17.280 So, Susan, I don't want to talk specifically about Apple.

00:56:32.860 I want to, I want to talk about this in theory.

00:56:36.620 Um, you had your voice, you know, you, you signed the contracts and the personal everything,

00:56:42.600 but you had never thought of this technology and how it could be used.

00:56:47.580 And your voice was in some ways taken from you.

00:56:53.140 Did that play games with you?

00:56:55.800 Yes.

00:56:56.380 Yeah.

00:56:56.660 It was a, it is kind of a troubling thing, but I think even more troubling than that

00:57:01.280 is because of just the ability, uh, with technology now, they can basically, basically make you

00:57:09.720 sound like you're saying anything.

00:57:11.400 They can change, you know, the tone, timbre, pacing of your voice.

00:57:15.420 And, uh, even recently I put together, um, I do a lot of, uh, Siri appearances and speaker

00:57:21.880 events and I wanted to put together a speaker demo and I was working with, um, a video editor

00:57:28.520 and all of a sudden he said, well, you're saying this, but we can fix that.

00:57:31.820 And I'm going, what?

00:57:33.340 Oh no.

00:57:34.540 So you mean we can't, so we can no longer trust anything we hear or see this is not good.

00:57:39.840 Yeah.

00:57:40.300 So, you know, basically, uh, you know, I try not to take it personally because it's, it's

00:57:45.000 sort of just the way our culture seems to be going.

00:57:48.200 I don't necessarily think it's a good thing.

00:57:51.140 Yeah.

00:57:51.540 I don't either.

00:57:52.060 I mean, as somebody who, um, I watch technology, um, and I've been concerned about deep fakes,

00:57:59.040 uh, that are, that are, are going to be a problem starting, I think in 2020 real problem.

00:58:04.420 Uh, and that is the manipulation of video and audio.

00:58:07.720 So where you cannot believe your eyes and ears, they can make, make me say anything and

00:58:13.320 you won't know.

00:58:14.360 I wouldn't even be able to tell.

00:58:16.120 I mean, like, wait, I never, I never said that.

00:58:18.240 When did I say that?

00:58:19.180 Um, and the deep fakes are getting so good that that just changes our whole world, doesn't

00:58:27.200 it?

00:58:27.860 Yeah, it really does.

00:58:28.980 I, I, I find it quite appalling.

00:58:31.160 I mean, even to the point where I've done so many interviews and I appreciate doing a

00:58:35.680 live interview because, uh, many times, uh, interviewers take a direct quote and just sort

00:58:43.200 of make it their own and end up saying something that I didn't actually say.

00:58:47.240 And, you know, I, I just really try to, to not think too much about it because it's, uh,

00:58:54.400 it is very troubling.

00:58:56.200 And, uh, and, and I feel very bad for really famous people, you know, the, uh, the George

00:59:01.500 Clooney's and the Jennifer Aniston's of the world, because God only knows what, what, you

00:59:06.360 know, people are saying about them or, or, or attributing, you know, things that they

00:59:11.120 have said to them that were not true.

00:59:12.980 So that's one of the things, that's one of the strange place in our culture.

00:59:16.820 We are.

00:59:17.140 That's one of the things deep fakes are doing.

00:59:19.000 They're taking celebrity faces and they're imposing them, um, on, um, you know, on, on,

00:59:26.860 on sex acts and, and, and X rated videos.

00:59:29.840 And you can't necessarily tell that's not George Clooney.

00:59:34.060 Uh, one of the things I think is a problem is that, you know, that a lot of people believe

00:59:40.620 this stuff because I think that too often we've given over our own, uh, brains and our

00:59:47.400 own individuality to just the general culture and to TV and media, uh, and, you know, social

00:59:54.000 media, particularly just in general.

00:59:56.460 I, I think that, that people that in a way with all these digital devices that we have,

01:00:03.540 you know, we just, we just tell Siri or Alexa to do this or do that and we don't really have

01:00:08.340 to think about it.

01:00:09.100 I, I think it especially, um, uh, affects children.

01:00:13.820 I have a friend who has grandchildren.

01:00:16.580 She says, oh my God, she said, they tell Alexa to do everything. 1.00

01:00:19.740 She said, isn't these, these girls don't even know how to turn on a light bulb. 1.00

01:00:23.400 You know, they tell Alexa to do it. 1.00

01:00:25.900 And, and I think that we're losing a lot by not going through the process of learning

01:00:32.240 things or the process of doing things, you know, uh, even, even the dark ages when I was

01:00:37.440 growing up, you know, you would go to the library and you'd look things up.

01:00:40.480 That's right.

01:00:40.800 Now you just ask Siri.

01:00:42.300 There, there's no, no process of, of, of learning when you're doing these things.

01:00:47.340 So I, I don't know.

01:00:48.340 I think that's kind of scary.

01:00:50.680 Susan.

01:00:51.120 And so what's up for you next?

01:00:53.240 Uh, what do you, what do you hope to do next?

01:00:56.760 Well, I just hope to do more of what I'm already doing, which is, uh, uh, Siri appearances and

01:01:02.220 speaker events and, uh, which I really enjoy.

01:01:05.880 And it's not something I ever envisioned.

01:01:07.560 I mean, that's something that Siri created for me.

01:01:10.480 So I'm grateful to that very much.

01:01:12.780 Uh, it's a, it's a wonderful experience.

01:01:14.620 I've actually had a chance to go to some pretty exotic places like Croatia, um, to do, uh, the speaker events.

01:01:22.020 And so I would just like to do more of those.

01:01:24.380 Well, maybe we should, uh, find out.

01:01:26.800 We have you do some, uh, uh, this is the Glenn Beck program, uh, kind of stuff.

01:01:32.800 Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

01:01:34.080 You have to pay for that.

01:01:35.440 No, I know.

01:01:35.920 No, no, no.

01:01:36.500 I mean, that's what I said.

01:01:37.580 We'll have to talk to you about that.

01:01:39.060 I knew.

01:01:39.660 Let me, let me give you the number of my agents.

01:01:41.980 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:01:42.700 No, I, I'm very well aware of that.

01:01:45.000 I've done enough freebies.

01:01:46.680 No, I, no, I, I know.

01:01:47.480 That's very smart.

01:01:48.240 I know.

01:01:49.280 Believe me.

01:01:49.960 I know.

01:01:50.840 Susan, thank you so much.

01:01:52.080 I appreciate it.

01:01:53.200 Thank you.

01:01:53.880 You bet.

01:01:54.240 Bye-bye.

01:01:54.840 Um, she's great.

01:01:55.780 Yeah.

01:01:56.880 That's going to be a weird position because I mean, you know, we didn't like in my mind,

01:02:00.420 if you were the voice of Siri, like, you know, you're just getting a $25,000 a week Apple

01:02:04.740 check that from royalties that are coming in.

01:02:06.700 And that's not really what happens here.

01:02:08.000 Right.

01:02:08.200 She didn't, she didn't say any of those things.

01:02:10.560 It's the algorithm.

01:02:11.500 It is a deep fake that we've been talking about, but it's, you still know with the voice

01:02:16.680 of, uh, of Siri that it's, it's manipulated somewhat, but very soon you're not going to be

01:02:23.060 able to know that it's manipulated.

01:02:24.340 I mean, listen to when she was saying the Siri stuff.

01:02:27.520 It, I mean, that's her.

01:02:29.720 Yeah.

01:02:29.940 That's her. 0.88

01:02:30.760 Yeah.

01:02:30.920 It's crazy.

01:05:01.760 SimpliSafe.com slash Glenn.

01:05:04.440 So I have nothing, nothing bad to say about the first half of the Gillette commercial because

01:05:17.740 I think we all agree that these are good things and we're glad that the world of mad men is

01:05:24.700 in the past, especially if we have daughters or we're married to a woman.

01:05:31.160 Let's play the first half of this Gillette commercial.

01:05:38.120 Bullying.

01:05:38.700 The Me Too movement against sexual harassment. 0.94

01:05:41.040 Toxic masculinity.

01:05:42.520 Is this the best a man can get? 0.77

01:05:43.980 The best a man can get.

01:05:45.800 Is it?

01:05:52.120 We can't hide from it.

01:05:53.720 Sexual harassment is taking over.

01:05:55.860 It's been going on far too long.

01:06:00.440 We can't laugh at all.

01:06:03.140 Who's the daddy?

01:06:05.380 What I actually think she's trying to say.

01:06:08.060 Making the same old excuses.

01:06:09.980 Boys will be boys.

01:06:11.380 Boys will be boys.

01:06:12.440 Boys will be boys.

01:06:13.340 But something finally changed.

01:06:15.260 Stop.

01:06:16.680 Stop.

01:06:17.780 So far, no problem.

01:06:20.400 Okay.

01:06:21.120 I don't want it.

01:06:21.980 Still pandering from a razor company.

01:06:24.420 Yeah, well, I haven't gotten there yet.

01:06:26.380 They haven't said anything.

01:06:27.520 You're watching this and you're like, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:06:30.080 You know, it's gone on too long and that kind of stuff.

01:06:33.100 Boys will be boys and bullying and all of that stuff.

01:06:36.760 Bad.

01:06:38.480 Don't disagree with the goal here.

01:06:40.860 No, of course.

01:06:41.920 Here's where it goes wrong.

01:06:43.340 Go ahead.

01:06:45.760 Allegations regarding sexual assault and sexual harassment.

01:06:49.360 But she says we're talking to a lie.

01:06:51.560 And there will be no going back.

01:06:54.940 Oh, no.

01:06:56.000 Because we, we believe in the best in men.

01:06:59.700 Men need to hold other men accountable.

01:07:03.120 Smile, sweetie.

01:07:04.400 Come on.

01:07:05.640 To say the right thing.

01:07:07.680 To act the right way.

01:07:09.860 Bro, am I cool?

01:07:11.160 Am I cool?

01:07:11.540 Some already are.

01:07:15.160 In ways big.

01:07:17.160 Young men.

01:07:18.260 For everyone.

01:07:19.240 And small.

01:07:20.400 I am strong.

01:07:21.880 I am strong.

01:07:23.100 But some is not enough.

01:07:28.720 It's not how we treat each other, okay?

01:07:31.680 Okay.

01:07:33.280 Because the boys watching today will be the men of tomorrow.

01:07:39.060 Gillette, the company that has been talking about sweet cheeks since the day I was born.

01:07:48.980 They are now lecturing.

01:07:50.980 They are now lecturing me about the grotesqueness of our society.

01:07:57.440 You've been pumping in the bikini clad girls going, oh, yeah. 1.00

01:08:03.040 Look how smooth his face is forever.

01:08:06.300 Please don't lecture me.

01:08:08.120 And don't lecture me on what we have to teach our sons.

01:08:11.720 I've been teaching that my whole life.

01:08:14.420 And my father taught that to me.

01:08:18.520 Luckily, I'm not the only one a little upset about this.

01:08:21.280 Jeff Allen is calling in.

01:08:23.840 Hello, Jeff.

01:08:24.760 How are you?

01:08:26.140 Fine, man.

01:08:26.860 How are you guys?

01:08:27.780 Well, you know, I just I'm trying to keep my blood pressure down.

01:08:31.180 And and this nonsense just doesn't end.

01:08:35.480 Yeah, it doesn't.

01:08:36.360 It keeps going.

01:08:36.980 So I was talking to Tammy and I realized this all began with the 19th Amendment.

01:08:43.340 What's the way we could repeal that and start over?

01:08:45.980 The way it started with the 19th Amendment and you want it repealed?

01:08:49.940 Yeah, you can.

01:08:51.160 And Tammy Tammy said, well, it's probably not going to happen because there's too many women in Congress. 1.00

01:08:55.080 But right.

01:08:56.020 Right.

01:08:56.460 Right.

01:08:57.120 By the way, should we say that's a joke?

01:08:59.100 So we should we put that out there?

01:09:00.720 No, I don't think he is joking.

01:09:03.000 Did you think he was joking?

01:09:04.240 I heard it.

01:09:04.960 By the way, you know, I heard it myself.

01:09:07.260 I don't think he was joking.

01:09:09.340 My gosh.

01:09:10.460 Exactly.

01:09:11.640 I you know, I just isn't that what you taught your son, Jeff?

01:09:15.480 I sat my boys down when they hit that age, when they started dating.

01:09:19.700 And I said, that's somebody's daughter, somebody's future mother.

01:09:23.620 And I said, if you had had a sister, would you want some kid manhandling them in the backseat 1.00

01:09:28.920 of a car?

01:09:29.780 And no, it was a it's a it's a common sense discussion.

01:09:33.900 Right.

01:09:35.060 And there's a difference between married to a woman, you know?

01:09:38.200 Yeah.

01:09:38.420 The guys who don't do that are still boys.

01:09:41.900 They never grew up.

01:09:43.460 They're still boys.

01:09:44.780 Men do that. 1.00

01:09:46.120 They're boys who shave, you know, there's their little boys who shave is what I call

01:09:50.300 them.

01:09:50.440 Yeah.

01:09:50.940 And they're out there.

01:09:53.300 But I don't think it's, you know, the majority.

01:09:57.300 So is this like you said, I don't need to be lectured by a commercial.

01:10:00.800 I know.

01:10:01.200 Is is is Gillette just trying to sell razors, more razors to women?

01:10:06.260 Or do they think this will work for men?

01:10:08.840 Well, most of the men that I know are growing hairy bears.

01:10:11.980 Every last one.

01:10:12.880 Yeah, I know.

01:10:13.840 There's a reason to grow a beard now.

01:10:16.200 Maybe they're going after the the transgender that this the changeover. 1.00

01:10:21.500 So I don't know.

01:10:22.160 Yeah, could be.

01:10:24.480 Jeff Allen is a comedian.

01:10:26.100 He has been out on the road for CRTV and the blaze on make comedy.

01:10:31.340 Great again.

01:10:32.440 How's the tour been going?

01:10:34.240 Well, we're off until February 1st.

01:10:36.520 We're going into New York, February 1st and 2nd.

01:10:39.580 But we did what is this like some sort of sacrificial animal?

01:10:45.420 You guys are that we're just putting you into New York.

01:10:48.700 Yeah, exactly.

01:10:49.900 Well, I thought that was odd.

01:10:51.660 Go to the Northeast with a car with a tour called make comedy.

01:10:54.400 Great again.

01:10:56.620 And it's a nonpolitical tour.

01:11:01.360 So I didn't understand.

01:11:03.100 It's not my job to create the title.

01:11:05.420 Right.

01:11:05.680 Right, right.

01:11:07.960 OK, OK.

01:11:09.660 Did you see that Tim Allen's show has has debuted?

01:11:14.260 Absolutely.

01:11:15.100 And it's on our queue, man.

01:11:16.660 We record it every week.

01:11:18.040 See, I didn't even know that it was back on.

01:11:20.420 I just don't watch enough television to get the commercials for all that stuff.

01:11:24.320 I knew that he was going to, but I didn't know it debuted.

01:11:27.060 And it's doing well.

01:11:29.800 Yes, it should.

01:11:30.540 It's a very good show.

01:11:32.880 And it's funny because it's one of the few sitcoms in history where there's a strong male lead.

01:11:40.160 Back in 2001, I did a pilot for Castle Rock.

01:11:44.000 And one of the reasons they were going to do the pilot with me is because we pitched a strong male lead in a sitcom.

01:11:49.820 And the head of the studio, he was 55 years old at the time.

01:11:55.220 And he said to me, he goes, you know, it's so unusual.

01:11:58.580 And he said it's it used to count.

01:12:00.720 Yeah, sitcoms used to have strong male leads that he remembered years ago.

01:12:04.840 I guess he started with all in a family.

01:12:06.740 And that's when things started getting kind of absurd.

01:12:09.320 But, yeah, I said, I can change a diaper. 1.00

01:12:11.320 I can do all that other stuff without looking like a bumbling idiot, you know. 1.00

01:12:14.760 And obviously, it didn't get picked up. 1.00

01:12:19.840 Right.

01:12:20.460 But, you know, Tim is one of the guys who is, you would say, almost the stereotypical guy that Gillette should be preaching against.

01:12:32.420 His act has been that.

01:12:35.140 And yet he hasn't been affected by this at all.

01:12:38.440 In fact, if anything, maybe being made stronger.

01:12:41.180 Right, because there's a desire, I guess, a desire for it.

01:12:47.780 I mean, whether they want to come out and publicly admit it.

01:12:50.000 But I think strong men are attractive.

01:12:54.120 I really do.

01:12:55.380 Okay, we have that on tape.

01:12:57.200 Yeah, you got that on tape.

01:12:58.340 We have that on tape now.

01:12:59.760 Yeah, we have that.

01:13:02.000 I'm attracted to strong men.

01:13:05.500 If I went that way, it might grow.

01:13:07.700 Right, right, right, right.

01:13:09.240 Tim, or Tim, Jeff, it's great.

01:13:13.900 No relation to Tim Allen.

01:13:15.900 That's kind of sad, isn't it?

01:13:17.000 No, I get that all the time.

01:13:18.180 I had a guy get me a job somewhere, and the guy comes over to me, and he goes,

01:13:22.380 So how's your brother Tim doing?

01:13:23.640 I go, What?

01:13:25.060 Who told you that?

01:13:26.060 And he goes, Your friend did.

01:13:27.360 And this guy was a pastor.

01:13:28.980 I said, You lied to a pastor.

01:13:33.900 You'd never deny the reality, Jeff.

01:13:36.280 You just say, Yeah, he's doing great.

01:13:38.300 He's doing great.

01:13:38.840 He's thinking about playing here, you know, if you book me a few more times.

01:13:41.880 So I appreciate it.

01:13:43.880 All right.

01:13:44.800 Jeff, great to talk to you.

01:13:45.900 Jeff Allen, comedian at large.

01:13:48.060 And you can find the tour actually in New York coming in February, but also on Blaze TV.

01:13:55.900 A lot of comedians making comedy great again.

01:14:07.360 It's Thursday, isn't it?

01:14:07.720 I think it's the 17th.

01:14:08.900 Yeah.

01:14:09.300 And he's going to be sharing some more personal things, and it should be quite a season with

01:14:50.700 He did the...

01:14:52.780 What is the TV show, his TV show that he does?

01:14:58.040 Yeah.

01:14:58.520 This is horrible.

01:14:59.380 We've talked to him about it a bunch of times.

01:15:00.820 Yeah.

01:15:01.120 History decoded.

01:15:01.720 History decoded.

01:15:02.280 And he's just...

01:15:04.740 He's got this great mind and loves history as much as you do, as much as I do.

01:15:09.780 He's got a new book, and I think it comes out today.

01:15:11.800 It's called The First Conspiracy, The Secret Plot to Kill George Washington.

01:15:16.480 If you're a long-time listener, you know what a fan of George Washington I am.

01:15:20.920 I don't even remember this story.

01:15:23.480 It's a new novel out, The Plot to Kill George Washington.

01:15:26.720 You wrote a book about George Washington.

01:15:28.080 I did.

01:15:28.580 Yeah.

01:15:28.720 The First Conspiracy.

01:15:30.340 This is the stuff...

01:15:31.960 I mean, George Washington was into the secret, you know, spy stuff and was using that.

01:15:40.720 And a lot of our CIA is sprung from the stuff George Washington was doing.

01:15:47.820 And this is The Secret Plot to Kill Him.

01:15:49.640 That's coming up in next hour.

01:15:51.940 You don't want to miss it.

01:15:53.200 Brad Meltzer.

01:15:54.180 All right, if you're looking to hire somebody for the job, you know you have to get the right person, and you'd probably like to get it pretty quickly.

01:16:06.560 ZipRecruiter can help you.

01:16:07.880 As a business owner, I know what it's like to find the right person.

01:16:10.860 You have all these different metrics that you have to do.

01:16:12.960 They have to know the job.

01:16:14.060 They have to be able to work within the budget constraints.

01:16:17.720 They have to have the right attitude.

01:16:20.060 They have to fit the culture.

01:16:21.740 Yeah, it becomes such a hassle to find the right person that you wind up just giving up and just continuing to do your work short-staffed, and then everything falls through the cracks.

01:16:30.060 If you don't know how to do this, it can be a real pain.

01:16:33.280 So ZipRecruiter is powerful matching technology.

01:16:46.820 So they get the qualified candidates first.

01:16:49.720 Now, this started out, ZipRecruiter started out as going out and posting on all the job boards.

01:16:54.680 Well, because ZipRecruiter spent so much money talking to businesses, everybody who was looking for a job was like, you know, you should just apply at ZipRecruiter.

01:17:05.480 So now ZipRecruiter is like the biggest job site out there, and they're the biggest collection of businesses, and they go out.

01:18:01.760 You know, as we talked to you yesterday, the country is not as divided as we think it is.

01:18:08.380 The people that you live around are not as divided.

01:18:11.840 It's Congress.

01:18:13.260 The parties are far more polarized than the American people.

01:18:18.980 They're just kicking people out that have common sense.

01:18:22.200 For instance, does this sound like common sense?

01:18:25.340 Does this sound like something a mainstream party would say?

01:18:30.040 Right now, we need to change the dialogue and find a balance in U.S. domestic terrorism strategy.

01:18:40.200 So far, there is nobody paying attention to the links of the trend of anti-government activism to Timothy McVeigh and the bombing of the Alfred Murray building in Oklahoma.

01:19:02.800 That event served as a touchstone for over two decades, and it is making a cottage industry with right-wing hate.

01:19:15.160 That's why Benny Thompson, the representative from Mississippi, who is now in charge of Homeland Security, is going to have hearings as soon as Congress comes back in, because we really need to look at terrorism.

01:19:38.860 And it's not the terrorism of 9-11, it's not the terrorism of al-Qaeda, but it is the terrorism posed by right-wing extremists.

01:19:52.040 This is what they're going to use their power for, right?

01:19:54.440 Investigating the president and calling every right-winger a terrorist.

01:19:59.080 That's what the Democrats are going to do with their newfound power.

01:20:03.080 This is terrifying.

01:20:04.640 This is terrifying.

01:20:05.920 They're going to start looking at anything that they deem as a conspiracy theory, anything that they deem as right-wing hate, and they're going to start looking at the speech and those who are perpetrating this.

01:20:21.280 And who's going to be called?

01:20:24.680 Who's going to be called for the hearings?

01:20:29.700 It's going to be interesting to find out.

01:20:31.240 I mean, they will go after, I mean, they're going to go after, certainly, you'd think, the Alex Joneses of the world, right?

01:20:37.480 In that conspiracy world, the Pizzagate people, all of those sorts of groups.

01:20:42.900 But then they're also going to try to, I'm sure, loop in people who aren't close to extremists.

01:20:49.920 The guy who went into Pizzagate had been lied to.

01:20:54.460 But even he, when he went in, said, oh, wait a minute, this isn't what I thought.

01:21:00.300 He didn't go in and kill people.

01:21:02.200 No.

01:21:02.620 No.

01:21:03.000 I mean, he should go to jail.

01:21:04.220 Yeah, he should go to jail, and he did.

01:21:06.260 But he didn't kill a bunch of people.

01:21:08.280 Here's Representative Thompson's quote.

01:21:12.640 He wants to find a balance in U.S. domestic terrorism strategy because, so far, we have focused too heavily on the threat of homegrown Muslim terrorism and too little on the rise of the far-right white nationalist and anti-Semitic groups.

01:21:26.940 Would that include Lurz Farrakhan?

01:21:28.580 Would that include the Women's March this weekend?

01:21:32.000 Surely they're going to include that.

01:21:33.240 Surely they would include that.

01:21:34.360 Will that include Antifa?

01:21:35.580 Of course not.

01:21:36.600 They are only looking to the right.

01:21:40.440 Antifa?

01:21:41.040 This is outrageous, and this is the new Democratic Party.

01:21:46.980 All right.

01:21:47.500 I want to talk to you a little bit about if you're buying or selling a home this year.

01:21:50.920 Tanya, my wife, and I started a company several years ago because we were really frustrated with the real estate agents who talk a good game but never get the job done.

01:22:01.020 And, you know, as we say in Texas, a lot of people with all hat and no cattle.

01:22:06.380 Who is the real estate agent get it done?

01:22:08.460 So we built a team to help sellers and buyers do things differently and to help you, this audience, buy or sell a home much more effectively.

01:22:17.500 What we learned is realtors advertise themselves.

01:22:21.880 They don't get things done.

01:22:23.220 The realtors that are focused on you and your home, they get it done.

01:22:28.140 So we put you together with the best sellers around the country.

01:22:31.840 You want to sell your home fast on time for the most amount of money?

01:22:34.620 It's realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:22:36.740 Sell your home now.

01:22:38.440 Go to realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:22:43.360 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:22:47.000 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:22:49.900 How much is a human life worth?

01:22:51.220 How much is it worth?

01:22:55.420 How much is it worth to us as Americans?

01:22:57.260 We have spent treasure and lives, spilled blood all over this world, protecting people, freeing people.

01:23:07.740 How much is a human life worth?

01:23:11.140 I want to ask that of a couple of communities.

01:23:18.380 The GLAAD community and also the Islamic community.

01:23:25.900 Where are you?

01:23:28.080 I want to tell you why in 60 seconds.

01:23:34.380 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:23:36.420 Back to the program in 60 seconds.

01:23:39.240 I want to tell you about SimpliSafe.

01:23:40.700 Make a New Year's resolution to keep your family safe and save a lot of money.

01:23:46.140 SimpliSafe is high tech at its best.

01:23:49.800 This is a security system that will alert you, will call police, will call fire.

01:23:54.920 Anything's going wrong with your house, you've got it covered.

01:23:58.240 They spent like two years just on glass break technology.

01:24:02.100 Because when you have glass break technology, usually it can't tell the difference between, you know, someone breaking a kitchen dish or a glass in the dishwasher to somebody breaking a window pane.

01:24:15.460 And they do sound different, but not to most technology.

01:24:18.500 So they went and they put it into trial over and over and over and over and over again until they got it exactly right.

01:24:24.380 They have spent the time to get this right.

01:24:26.580 And you will not believe the price.

01:24:28.540 You have overpaid for home security for decades.

01:24:32.580 Stop it right now.

01:24:34.440 You can get you own the system.

01:24:37.520 It is the best system.

01:24:39.080 It is at an unbelievable price.

01:24:40.960 There are no contracts, no strings attached.

01:24:44.320 You own it.

01:24:45.380 And $14.95 a month for the 24-7 monitoring.

01:24:52.620 Yeah.

01:24:53.120 And you own it means you get to bring it to your next house, too, which is an underrated part of this.

01:24:57.280 I mean, you don't ever have to buy it again.

01:24:59.140 How about this?

01:24:59.740 You're renting.

01:25:00.500 You don't.

01:25:00.880 Yeah.

01:25:01.160 You can just take it.

01:25:02.420 I mean, that's a big thing, too.

01:25:03.360 They don't want you to drill into the house and make all the sort of big changes.

01:25:06.840 Simply Safe, you can put it in a rental.

01:25:08.080 You can move it to when you buy.

01:25:09.300 You can bring it wherever you go.

01:25:10.420 Yeah.

01:25:10.640 It's really a great service.

01:25:12.240 And just go to the website, simplysafebeck.com, simplysafebeck.com.

01:25:16.100 Just look for the chart on how much money you're going to save in one year.

01:25:19.660 It's going to blow your mind.

01:25:23.000 Simplysafebeck.com.

01:25:23.960 That's simplysafebeck.com.

01:25:26.260 So I told you that about four or five years ago, I went back up to New York and I met with the heads of GLAAD.

01:25:44.960 And I said, can we put our differences aside?

01:25:48.340 And this is not going to go well for me.

01:25:51.780 This will cost me all kinds of listeners because it will be seen as a sellout.

01:25:57.680 People won't really listen to the message at times.

01:26:01.520 You know, they'll take the pictures and they'll spread it across the Internet.

01:26:06.080 It will be bad for me.

01:26:07.880 But I believe in something.

01:26:09.780 And I know you believe in something.

01:26:12.660 And we can argue about wedding cakes all day long.

01:26:16.520 Or we can look at what's happening in Iran and we can look at what's happening in Russia. 0.99

01:26:23.340 They are killing homosexuals in Russia. 0.96

01:26:26.580 They are taking their driver's license away in Russia. 0.99

01:26:29.880 I spent an hour and the head person at GLAAD in New York had no interest.

01:26:36.700 She just kept bringing it back to wedding cakes. 1.00

01:26:38.760 And I said, people are dying.

01:26:42.340 Yeah, well, wedding cakes.

01:26:43.940 Oh, I have never been more frustrated in my life.

01:26:47.620 I open up to any organization that I may disagree with and you may disagree with me on 90% of whatever it is we say.

01:26:58.300 But we have to stand for life.

01:27:01.700 There is something now that is happening in Russia, in Chechnya.

01:27:05.300 And it is so bad.

01:27:07.040 The LGBTQI2. 0.81

01:27:12.400 Did I get them all?

01:27:13.520 A.

01:27:13.880 A.

01:27:14.420 Plus.

01:27:14.760 That organization over in Russia has to have their identity obscured and their voice altered to be on the air anywhere in the world. 0.99

01:27:31.740 What's happening is in Chechnya, the Russians are scooping up homosexuals and they are torturing them and killing them. 0.97

01:27:40.640 It's being called the beginning of a genocide of homosexuals. 0.98

01:27:48.640 Why are we not talking about this? 0.97

01:27:50.700 Why is it that our political class and our media is so hyper on toxic masculinity? 0.59

01:28:03.600 So hyperactive on we've got to have 90 some genders. 1.00

01:28:08.440 We must have bakeries serving cakes for every event under the sun.

01:28:13.540 And you can still believe all of that.

01:28:15.400 And you can still all do that.

01:28:17.240 But is that the priority when there is a beginning of a genocide happening?

01:28:24.240 Shouldn't the world stand up and say, hey, this is wrong.

01:28:29.780 But did you hear that Kevin Hart joke from 2009?

01:28:32.320 Because that is wow, that was offensive.

01:28:34.400 I'm glad they were all over that.

01:28:36.040 So we have that going on currently.

01:28:39.100 Currently.

01:28:39.860 Now, this was five years ago.

01:28:41.400 It's only gotten worse.

01:28:42.880 And now the people who are standing up for gay rights in Russia are so afraid to stand up because they're going to be taken next.

01:28:52.160 If anybody finds out.

01:28:54.700 That's just getting worse.

01:28:56.140 And we continue to ignore it.

01:28:58.060 Then there's this Pakistan was the first Islamic country to come out against what China is doing to the Uyghurs in China up to a mil between a million and two million up to two million.

01:29:16.240 Definitely a million Muslims have already been picked up by China in this one province and put behind bars into concentration camps.

01:29:26.780 What's happening to them is so horrific.

01:29:30.540 It's just a reeducation camp.

01:29:32.480 That's all it is.

01:29:33.520 But it's sleep deprivation, life deprivation.

01:29:37.140 It's torture there.

01:29:39.280 We had one woman who escaped three times and finally escaped from China, came here to the United States, spoke.

01:29:47.960 No one covered it.

01:29:49.100 And she said, we are being forced to drink things that make us bleed from every orifice.

01:29:56.100 The women are. 1.00

01:29:56.880 She said, we're we're being sterilized.

01:29:59.620 Said, I can't prove it because I just got here.

01:30:03.140 I'll go to a doctor.

01:30:04.320 But they're drinking.

01:30:05.360 They're making us drink things that makes us sick and bleed from every orifice.

01:30:11.560 This is genocide. 0.81

01:30:13.360 The Chinese are just saying, well, you know what it is. 0.96

01:30:18.520 We're just we're just trying to make these Muslims like normal and usable Chinese citizens. 1.00

01:30:27.900 Oh, that's all you're doing.

01:30:31.240 Why is no one talking about this?

01:30:33.300 Now, when I said at the beginning of the hour, how much is a human life worth?

01:30:37.740 We know in Pakistan, it's a road.

01:30:40.200 It's a highway.

01:30:41.580 It's a highway.

01:30:42.320 It's a literal highway.

01:30:44.020 They came out and they condemned China.

01:30:46.560 China came back to the leadership of Pakistan and said, hey, we'd like to do some more trade with you.

01:30:52.340 And we'd like to build a literal highway that we can.

01:30:56.760 It'll help with trade for you and for us.

01:30:59.140 And it's going to be great for business.

01:31:02.300 Well, they did.

01:31:03.860 And now all of a sudden they're saying that, no, this these are these aren't concentration camps.

01:31:08.420 There's nothing to worry about with China.

01:31:10.300 We talked to them.

01:31:11.200 Hey, have you seen the new road we're building?

01:31:15.360 Why aren't we talking about the homosexuals and their real plight, the real plight of homosexuals? 0.98

01:31:22.700 Why aren't we talking about that?

01:31:24.580 Not because we've sold out for a political agenda. 0.68

01:31:29.400 We've sold out because we have to make Donald Trump look like an anti-gay president, even though he's the most gay friendly president this country has ever had. 0.82

01:31:39.540 Certainly ever elected. 0.92

01:31:40.860 Ever elected.

01:31:41.540 I mean, we've sold out for what for political purposes for a wedding cake.

01:31:50.080 We will look and turn a blind eye to people who are being tortured and systematically killed because of their lifestyle.

01:31:57.540 Well, we'll turn a blind eye because we want to make sure we prove a point on wedding cakes.

01:32:04.620 We want to make sure that that baker makes wedding cakes for anybody. 1.00

01:32:10.240 At least anybody we're protecting.

01:32:13.400 But nothing.

01:32:15.000 Silence in the media.

01:32:17.000 Silence from the organizations here.

01:32:19.760 Silence from the the mosques here in America. 1.00

01:32:25.180 Because, well, we've, you know, the West is just so evil. 0.97

01:32:30.340 America is just so evil. 0.98

01:32:32.540 America. 0.99

01:32:33.180 Sure, we can come here. 0.70

01:32:34.200 We can say things like this country should be destroyed in the country.

01:32:41.900 Because that's just how evil we are.

01:32:44.380 But we'll remain silent. 0.96

01:32:46.660 Or if we're Pakistan, we'll just condemn Israel that lives with Muslims in their own towns, treats Muslims in their hospitals exactly like they treat Jews. 0.97

01:33:02.840 We have to call them the great Satan, but China will build a road. 0.99

01:33:07.000 And so we're not going to say anything about our own people.

01:33:13.820 Did we say concentration camps?

01:33:15.340 I think we meant recreation centers.

01:33:17.240 That's a rec center.

01:33:18.620 It's a nice gym.

01:33:19.500 It's got a volleyball court.

01:33:20.920 It's got a swimming pool with lanes.

01:33:24.640 You know, it's like you can really get some good exercise.

01:33:26.200 It's good for the heart.

01:33:27.480 How healthy.

01:33:28.300 Do you know why Western civilization is so important?

01:33:31.740 Do you know why we can't wipe Western civilization off the face of the earth?

01:33:37.580 Because this is what Western civilization strives to do.

01:33:43.500 To stand up for those who can no longer stand up for themselves.

01:33:49.580 That's what we do.

01:33:51.220 You want to talk about toxic masculinity?

01:33:54.720 Let me tell you about the Navy SEALs.

01:33:56.840 They're pretty masculine.

01:33:58.660 You know what they do? 0.97

01:33:59.580 Stand up for the women and rescue the women who are being systematically raped and abused and killed and buried in graves.

01:34:09.040 There's nowhere to be found.

01:34:11.140 We're talking about Western civilization that says, care about your enemy.

01:34:22.340 Love your enemy. 0.99

01:34:23.960 Without Western civilization, I don't give a flying crap about the homosexuals in Russia because I'm not one of them. 1.00

01:34:33.120 And those organizations here in America, well, they're trying to take us down. 0.99

01:34:39.120 They're trying to shut me up for what I believe.

01:34:41.740 So I don't care about those guys.

01:34:43.920 No, I care about all human beings because they're my brothers and they're my sisters in God.

01:34:55.280 That's Western civilization.

01:34:58.920 Where is it in these organizations?

01:35:02.340 Where is your Western civilization?

01:35:04.680 Where is your, dare I say it, Christ-like attitude for the people who are actually suffering today?

01:35:13.400 Because I got news for you.

01:35:14.800 That baker doesn't make your wedding cake. 1.00

01:35:16.960 Fine.

01:35:17.380 That says more about him than you.

01:35:18.960 You can still go get a wedding cake someplace else.

01:35:21.440 And why would you want him to be forced to make your wedding cake anyway?

01:35:25.800 You already know who he is.

01:35:27.460 Stop wasting your time.

01:35:28.740 Get married and then spend your time trying to save lives.

01:35:34.680 I didn't hear anything about this on the news today.

01:35:37.320 I did hear, though, that the president served McDonald's at the White House.

01:35:42.220 I mean, that is so low class of him.

01:35:43.960 Can I tell you something?

01:35:44.900 I can't believe it.

01:35:45.720 Can I tell you something?

01:35:46.760 That story I actually like.

01:35:48.520 Oh, I love it.

01:35:49.140 I love that story.

01:35:50.220 It's my favorite moment of the entire presidency.

01:35:52.120 Because he's better than Gorsuch.

01:35:53.600 It's better than Gorsuch and Kavanaugh put together.

01:35:55.700 I love the fact that he slammed a bunch of Wendy's and McDonald's and Burger King on the table.

01:36:00.880 Me too.

01:36:01.180 I love it.

01:36:02.040 I think they should do that all the time.

01:36:04.060 I don't care if the entire government is back.

01:36:08.160 I want the same people who were making the food last time, have them deliver on silver platters McDonald's and Burger King and Domino's, bring in some Taco Bell.

01:36:16.300 I love that.

01:36:17.540 I think it's fantastic.

01:36:18.900 That's America, man.

01:36:20.080 It is.

01:36:21.020 It is.

01:36:22.020 And it's like, you know, we're not a country of titles and kings and nobility.

01:36:27.960 We're just working people who go in and, yes, we all have McDonald's.

01:36:32.640 We all have Burger King.

01:36:33.900 We all have Wendy's.

01:36:35.320 Not all of us, because I know there's some vegans out there.

01:36:38.760 But, I mean, I want a state dinner like that.

01:36:40.940 That's what I want.

01:36:41.840 Right. 0.76

01:36:42.080 Yeah, like, I want visiting dignitaries to sit down to, you know, to a freaking Burrito Supreme. 0.91

01:36:50.000 That's what I want. 0.96

01:36:50.760 I want the other countries around the world go, these guys are just such simpletons. 0.60

01:36:56.680 I mean, they don't know what fine dining is.

01:36:58.960 We know what it is.

01:37:00.680 We know what it is.

01:37:01.520 And once in a while, it's nice to have fine dining.

01:37:04.400 But most of the time, and especially when you're on a budget, this is what Americans eat.

01:37:08.720 Yeah, have that back at your palace.

01:37:10.420 When you come and visit us, it's going to be Brooklyn style from Pizza Hut.

01:37:14.300 Get over it.

01:37:15.880 I love that.

01:37:16.740 I do, too.

01:37:17.240 I love that.

01:37:17.840 And the only reason why we're talking about that is because we're also talking about the real things,

01:37:23.760 politics of meaning, where people's lives are at stake.

01:37:28.300 And then just to be able to survive the day, just be able to kick back and go, yeah, Wendy's at the White House. 0.99

01:37:41.260 All right.

01:37:41.900 Never more than 60 seconds away from the programming.

01:37:45.400 Let me tell you about our sponsor.

01:37:47.040 And then right back into the show, it's Goldline.

01:37:49.520 Will the Dow at the end of the year, Stu, be closer to 30,000 or 15,000 at the end of the year?

01:37:58.660 Wow.

01:37:58.860 What is it, 22, 23 right now?

01:38:01.280 Yeah.

01:38:03.320 End of the year, I'm going to be hopeful and say closer to 30.

01:38:06.860 Really?

01:38:07.840 Yeah.

01:38:08.340 Okay.

01:38:08.500 Don't be hopeful.

01:38:09.520 Tell me what you really think.

01:38:11.500 If I really had to guess, I would say closer to 15, but not 15.

01:38:15.480 I think it might be down a little bit this year.

01:38:18.120 No, that's still hopeful.

01:38:18.920 Yeah, I'm still hopeful on that.

01:38:20.420 Look, you know, that's what he's here for, to make sure that America doesn't kill themselves, because I don't think so.

01:38:27.540 I think it's happening either this year or the next year.

01:38:30.840 And I'm always wrong with timing, but I think it's right around the corner.

01:38:34.240 Real economic trouble.

01:38:36.560 When there is economic turmoil in the world, I mean, Brexit could really, depending on what happens tonight, English time.

01:38:44.720 So around two o'clock this afternoon, Eastern time, when when they decide on Brexit, that just something like that could be the thing that just starts this ball rolling.

01:38:56.280 And it all unravels when the world goes insane.

01:39:00.740 It always returns to a safe haven, and that is gold.

01:39:04.980 Please call Goldline now.

01:39:06.800 Do your own homework.

01:39:07.680 I've asked you to do this before.

01:39:09.200 I am I'm strongly advising you to do it now.

01:39:14.960 Goldline 1-866-GOLDLINE 1-866-GOLDLINE or goldline.com.

01:39:20.060 We break for 10 seconds, Station ID.

01:39:35.840 So do you want you want a fun story about you choose the news here, Stu?

01:39:40.260 A fun story about destruction, how we're all going to die, or a serious story that's just going to make your head pop off?

01:39:50.060 So either way, I'm dead?

01:39:52.060 Yes, yes.

01:39:52.760 Okay, so I think if I'm going to die, I want to do it the funnest way possible.

01:39:55.440 Okay, right?

01:39:56.020 So let's talk about the polar shift.

01:39:58.860 Okay.

01:39:59.200 Are you following this?

01:40:00.220 No, I've only heard you talking about it.

01:40:01.980 Okay.

01:40:02.620 So the polar shift is something I've followed for about 20 years, and just lightly.

01:40:08.600 And I have absolutely no idea what any of it means.

01:40:11.960 Okay.

01:40:12.220 I know what it could mean.

01:40:13.960 I know what theories are from the past.

01:40:15.840 Um, but I, I'm not a, you know, I'm not a sky is falling on this one.

01:40:20.920 Um, I just find it fascinating.

01:40:23.520 So the poles, uh, the North and South pole, it's not fixed and it drifts every year.

01:40:30.220 Okay.

01:40:30.760 And it drifts because we have a iron core and then a molten core around that, that iron core.

01:40:39.500 Well, that's kind of like, you know, taking copper wire and wrapping it around, uh, uh, iron and then taking a magnet.

01:40:48.140 I mean, it's creating energy, okay, magnetic force.

01:40:51.460 So you get your poles North and South because, because the world is, is molten just beneath the surface.

01:41:00.160 It, it can shift.

01:41:01.940 Okay.

01:41:02.460 And it can, it can move and it can make the polar, uh, magnetic field move.

01:41:08.820 The magnetic field generally stays in the same kind of area.

01:41:14.300 It has, uh, you know, in the past few hundred years, been as North pole has been as low as Ohio, believe it or not.

01:41:22.040 Um, but it's been a long time and it takes centuries to move, blah, blah, blah.

01:41:27.260 Well, the polar shift is moving rapidly.

01:41:30.300 In fact, it's now last year, it moved 55 kilometers.

01:41:35.240 It's now, I think in Siberia.

01:41:37.560 Okay.

01:41:38.520 The North pole, if you're standing on the North pole, you are actually South of the magnetic pole.

01:41:46.040 Okay.

01:41:46.820 Because the magnetic pole, that'd be right.

01:41:49.740 South.

01:41:50.200 Everything.

01:41:50.780 Yeah.

01:41:51.020 Everything would be South. 0.66

01:41:51.940 Right.

01:41:52.000 Yeah.

01:41:52.320 So you're South.

01:41:53.620 If you're standing at the, the, you know, where the pole is, you know, the red, white striped one.

01:41:59.060 Right.

01:41:59.780 Right.

01:42:00.100 If you're at, you're at Santa's village, right.

01:42:02.400 Right.

01:42:02.600 You are not actually at the, at the North pole at that moment because of the magnet.

01:42:07.540 Magnetic changes.

01:42:08.460 Correct.

01:42:08.680 Now, the problem is, is that our GPS is run with magnetic North.

01:42:16.400 Okay.

01:42:16.840 So the further it can, it, it's built to be able to withstand stuff, but they had to go

01:42:21.660 in and have an emergency reset this last year because it's moving so fast.

01:42:27.320 I mean, nobody's, I don't think anybody's seen it move 55 kilometers before.

01:42:31.620 So it's, it's moving so fast.

01:42:33.660 It doesn't show any sign of slowing down.

01:42:36.280 Well, our GPS had to be reset because otherwise we'd all be driving in the Pacific ocean at

01:42:42.580 some point, um, because it's like, it's, it's, it's all off.

01:42:46.540 I find just that fascinating.

01:42:51.060 Now, here's the part that they think is, uh, this is, uh, you know, this, these are just

01:42:58.240 theories.

01:42:58.720 They think that this has happened before that the polls got so far out of whack that

01:43:04.300 they, that North and South actually was East and West.

01:43:08.040 Okay.

01:43:09.020 So North and South would be up and down on a map and East and West would be, uh, no East

01:43:15.280 and West would be up and down and North and South would be left and right on a map.

01:43:19.280 Um, bizarre, bizarre.

01:43:21.300 And they think that because everything is sitting on this molten, uh, core that at some

01:43:28.960 point, and this may have been why the, uh, the continents broke up at some point, the

01:43:35.400 thing got so far out of whack that it actually, the mantle slid on that molten core.

01:43:42.960 And so what was at the equator was now North and South, which would explain why you

01:43:49.240 have like, uh, fossilized, uh, uh, tropical plants found in Antarctica because it used to

01:43:58.260 be on the equator.

01:43:59.900 Well, we're headed towards now a polar shift of some sort.

01:44:05.720 And what's fascinating to me is if you've ever read the Bible and you hear, Hey, uh, and

01:44:11.400 the stars will fall.

01:44:12.920 The only way to make the stars look like it fall is have a continental shift and a polar

01:44:18.080 shift.

01:44:19.240 And back, there's more to that, but I don't think we need to go on.

01:44:24.320 It's already crazy.

01:44:25.760 Um, life lock stolen identity, uh, is a real nightmare and things are getting worse.

01:44:30.680 We told you yesterday.

01:44:31.580 So yesterday, the day before there was a story of, of, uh, a, a group of people that are actually

01:44:37.720 advertising that you can have 700 and like, it's like $760,000 a year salary.

01:44:44.240 If you can help us hack in, uh, to, uh, people's identity and companies, uh, and companies, uh,

01:44:51.620 uh, securities.

01:44:52.580 Yeah.

01:44:52.660 I haven't earned back from them yet.

01:44:53.760 It's weird.

01:44:54.360 Really?

01:44:54.880 Yeah.

01:44:55.440 I mean, it's just crazy that you're what really you you're online saying, Hey, join us.

01:45:02.120 I mean, shouldn't we infiltrate that?

01:45:03.540 Anyway, life lock does everything that they can to stop all of that and stop somebody from

01:45:09.320 stealing your identity and everything else.

01:45:11.280 I want you to go to life lock.com.

01:45:12.760 They are the best in the business.

01:45:14.400 Something goes wrong.

01:45:15.880 They work to fix it.

01:45:31.540 Brad Meltzer.

01:45:32.980 Uh, welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

01:45:36.060 Brad is the number one New York times bestseller of the inner circle, the book of fate, nine other

01:45:40.700 bestselling thrillers, including 10th, just the first council, the millionaires, the president

01:45:46.320 in shadow, uh, in addition to fiction, he is one of, uh, the only authors ever to have

01:45:51.840 books on the bestseller list for nonfiction advice, children's books, uh, and comic books.

01:45:58.600 I think I'm the only one on that list with you, except for comic books.

01:46:04.020 You beat me with comic books.

01:46:05.480 You have the love for it.

01:46:06.480 So that counts.

01:46:07.180 Yeah.

01:46:07.440 Yeah, I know.

01:46:08.340 Uh, I, you know, I didn't until my son.

01:46:11.680 Sure.

01:46:12.200 Because you can give your kid that first hero.

01:46:14.440 Yeah.

01:46:14.760 And it's, and, and I think in the nineties, it felt like we didn't need that hero.

01:46:21.120 Well, I think that's what, that's what happens is in all times, if you look historically at

01:46:26.200 the time of the great depression, uh, the heroes that we looked to were heroes that were Tarzan

01:46:31.800 and Flash Gordon were the most popular because we would, they were designed to take us elsewhere.

01:46:35.160 We wanted to escape the great depression and then world war two starts encroaching on

01:46:39.340 our shores and we get scared as a country.

01:46:42.320 And we don't even know how to fight, we don't know how to fight, we're scared, we need someone

01:46:45.220 to come save us and Superman gets invented, sells a million copies.

01:46:49.440 And in 9-11, same thing happened.

01:46:51.800 We were once again a country, America, we were scared, worried that someone's coming after

01:46:55.220 us.

01:46:55.540 And the first movie that broke through the public consciousness was Spider-Man.

01:46:59.860 And right now, even a decade later, 15 years later, we're still a country that's, we're

01:47:04.120 starving for heroes.

01:47:05.260 There's no politics about it.

01:47:06.360 Whatever side you're on, we are looking for a hero.

01:47:09.360 And all times throughout history, it's not just there's a need for hero, that's where

01:47:13.040 they're created too.

01:47:14.500 And so I actually, um, this is, as you know, my, my nerd study of it.

01:47:18.540 And I think it's, it's no coincidence why, um, we look to whether it's Neil Armstrong or

01:47:23.580 Mr. Rogers this year, or even George Washington, where once again, a culture that's starving

01:47:27.460 for humility, um, for modesty.

01:47:31.000 Those, all of those three have something in common.

01:47:33.340 There's a reason why they're, they're people are looking to them again.

01:47:35.600 We have a need.

01:47:36.140 You've written a new book called the first conspiracy, the secret plot to kill George

01:47:40.260 Washington.

01:47:41.100 Um, you read enough history to know, for instance, Edison was not a, he was a bad guy, did some

01:47:48.760 good things, but also did some bad things.

01:47:51.200 Um, and you can look at people and you can pretty much find that with almost all of them.

01:47:57.420 Uh, and people say, well, I don't believe in any of these heroes.

01:48:02.120 And that these people were, you know, actually really good because a lot of times the history

01:48:06.520 is wrong and only tells one side, but you can find it.

01:48:10.340 If you look sure, I cannot find the dark side of George Washington.

01:48:15.360 Yeah, no, the, the, the George Washington lives up to the hype.

01:48:19.240 And I always say, but people will always write to me, right.

01:48:22.120 One of the few, I mean, I, every time I do one of the kids books, everyone always writes

01:48:25.480 to me, well, this one did this and this one did that.

01:48:27.400 And this one had an affair and I say, listen, I'm just telling you right now, if you're looking

01:48:32.140 for perfection in people, the only person that's perfect, the only thing that's perfect

01:48:35.260 is God.

01:48:36.140 So there's your standard.

01:48:38.340 And I feel like George Washington sets that standard for us at a different level, which

01:48:43.600 is why the thought of a secret plot to kill him begs the craziest question of all is what

01:48:48.900 happens to us if it worked?

01:48:51.200 So tell me that we don't exist for one.

01:48:53.980 I agree.

01:48:54.500 Um, it, tell me, uh, about the plot.

01:48:57.820 Cause I, I mean, I've written a book on George Washington.

01:49:00.200 I love George Washington.

01:49:01.280 I've studied him.

01:49:03.020 Not really familiar with it.

01:49:04.460 Yeah.

01:49:04.640 This is a, I found this story, Glenn, in nearly a decade ago in a footnote where all the great

01:49:09.740 secrets always wind up hiding.

01:49:11.820 And I was like a secret plot to kill George Washington.

01:49:15.100 Is this real?

01:49:16.080 Is this fake?

01:49:16.780 Is it internet nonsense?

01:49:17.740 What is it?

01:49:18.840 And I was so struck by it.

01:49:21.160 There was in 1776, just to be clear, let's talk about it up front.

01:49:24.020 Um, a plot to kill Washington.

01:49:25.880 Some say to kidnap him. 1.00

01:49:26.880 Some say to kill him. 0.99

01:49:27.620 Um, either way he dies because back then if you kidnap someone at the lower level, we 0.99

01:49:32.120 would trade you back to the British, but at his levels that you got hanged.

01:49:35.920 And they caught that guy.

01:49:36.920 Oh yeah.

01:49:37.280 Yeah.

01:49:37.600 Yeah.

01:49:37.760 Very quickly.

01:49:38.320 And so they round them up.

01:49:40.740 George Washington gets wind of it.

01:49:41.700 They round them up.

01:49:42.480 They build a gallows.

01:49:43.460 They take one of the main co-conspirators.

01:49:45.100 They hang them in front of 20,000 people.

01:49:47.900 The largest public execution at that point in North American history.

01:49:51.120 George Washington brings the hammer down.

01:49:53.180 It's like, do not mess with me.

01:49:54.400 I'm George Washington.

01:49:55.240 I'm going to be on the money one day.

01:49:56.700 Right?

01:49:57.720 That's a, that's an actual historical quote from your time.

01:49:59.840 That's right.

01:49:59.880 That's right.

01:50:00.480 But, but the, but what I couldn't shake is why don't I know the story?

01:50:04.500 And there's two reasons.

01:50:05.360 One, I went to Pulitzer Prize winning author, Joseph Ellis, and I said to him, you know this

01:50:10.260 story?

01:50:10.640 Because I never heard the story.

01:50:11.960 You wrote the biography on him.

01:50:13.760 And he said to me, this is a story about George Washington's spies.

01:50:18.100 That's why it's secret.

01:50:19.120 That's why you don't know it.

01:50:19.940 He said, you can find the exact number of slaves at Mount Vernon that George Washington

01:50:23.740 owned.

01:50:24.580 You'll never find all his spies.

01:50:26.600 He said, by its nature, Brad, what you're searching for will forever be elusive.

01:50:30.480 And the other reason why you don't know it is because of when the hanging took place.

01:50:35.980 June 28th, 1776.

01:50:39.080 Now guess what else is going on in the world on June 28th, 1776.

01:50:44.040 You're a week away from the Declaration of Independence being signed.

01:50:46.320 June 28th is when the first draft, one of the first drafts is handed in.

01:50:49.980 Correct.

01:50:50.640 The British are literally coming. 1.00

01:50:53.160 And with headlines like that, when you're studying that period, this gets obscured.

01:50:58.700 It just becomes a footnote.

01:50:59.660 So his secret, and you make this point in the book, his spies really go on to inspire

01:51:09.340 us.

01:51:09.680 And we don't know anything about them, or very little, but they go on to inspire even the

01:51:14.620 CIA.

01:51:15.700 Yeah.

01:51:16.000 No, that's one of my favorite parts is we thought we were investigating this secret plot

01:51:19.580 to kill George Washington.

01:51:20.720 But what we realized is we found something far bigger, which was we found out that George

01:51:27.040 Washington, one of the first things he did is he created his own secret committee.

01:51:30.280 And the secret committee was called, because if you have a secret committee, you've got

01:51:33.800 to give it a cool name, right?

01:51:35.240 So it was originally called the Committee on Intestine Enemies.

01:51:38.740 That's a terrible name.

01:51:39.860 And then they settled on the far better name, the Committee on Conspiracies.

01:51:43.240 And the Committee on Conspiracies, as you saw in the book, is run eventually by John

01:51:47.620 Jay.

01:51:48.160 It comes eventually at the end of the war, the first Supreme Court justice.

01:51:51.260 But what John Jay does, and is researching this plot, is he slowly, you know, they go in

01:51:57.140 the middle of the night, they're pulling people out of their houses, they're interrogating

01:51:59.820 them, they're shaking them down for information.

01:52:01.680 What they're really doing is they're building America's first counterintelligence agency.

01:52:07.160 And you ask any historian today, you say, you know, what's the precursor to the CIA?

01:52:11.020 And people say, oh, the OSS.

01:52:12.860 And that's the formal one.

01:52:14.320 But the real precursor to it all is this moment in 1776 in the plot to kill Washington, because

01:52:21.240 that's where it all starts.

01:52:22.620 And they're using civilians, just like the CIA did.

01:52:24.420 They're using civilians, not always military people, gathering intelligence.

01:52:28.220 Was this uncommon, though?

01:52:29.880 I mean, weren't kings doing that forever?

01:52:31.940 Yeah, but we weren't.

01:52:33.020 You know, George Washington, when we started, he wanted a good offense, wanted a good military.

01:52:37.100 And he knew he needed a good offense.

01:52:38.660 But what he learned in this period of time, right at the beginning, and this is 1775, 1776,

01:52:43.860 at the start of it, we always think of the end.

01:52:46.220 We think of George Washington 2.0 as the war goes on.

01:52:48.620 But in the beginning, this is where he realizes, oh, wait, I just don't need a great offense.

01:52:53.020 I need a great defense.

01:52:54.440 There are people coming at us.

01:52:55.860 We need information to see what's coming that we're not going to see on a battlefield, that

01:53:00.000 there's a whole other battle being fought.

01:53:01.620 It's this moment that inspires his later building the Culper Ring, his later expanding the Committee

01:53:06.400 on Conspiracies.

01:53:07.680 In fact, right now, in Langley, Virginia, at CIA headquarters, to this day, there is a room

01:53:13.580 dedicated to John Jay, who they call the founding father of counterintelligence.

01:53:18.420 It all starts here, in this moment.

01:53:20.220 And so I love, and you see these parts of things that I, and again, you and I have talked

01:53:24.720 about this offline and on air plenty of times, but there were so many parts I didn't know.

01:53:28.680 George Washington had his own private bodyguards, which I never, I'm like, how did I not know

01:53:34.280 this?

01:53:34.660 And what he had done is, he asked all of his top regiments, he said, give me your four

01:53:39.860 best men, and he narrowed it down.

01:53:42.740 He wanted what they called drilled men, and drilled men were the best of the best.

01:53:46.680 They were just, they were actually even a certain height, a certain build, a certain moral character,

01:53:52.460 the kind of person you really want on your side you can trust.

01:53:55.400 George Washington personally narrows it down to about 50 people, and these become what they

01:54:00.660 call the General's Guard.

01:54:01.700 They call him the Commander's Guard, but the name that sticks are the lifeguards, because

01:54:07.140 one of their jobs is guarding George Washington's life.

01:54:09.780 It's also amazingly where we get Baywatch come from.

01:54:11.980 That's where it comes from.

01:54:13.020 Is that where we get lifeguards? 1.00

01:54:14.300 I don't know if that's the official term.

01:54:16.560 I haven't, trust me, I thought, and I got to look it up, but that, I honestly do think

01:54:21.220 it may be where the term comes from, but it comes from the lifeguards.

01:54:23.920 They guarded his money, they guarded his papers, and they guarded his life.

01:54:26.980 These are the ones that went home with him.

01:54:28.100 These were the original Secret Service, but these are the men who turn on him.

01:54:32.600 Four of the men on the lifeguards accept bribes and want money and basically decide we're going

01:54:38.660 to go to the other side.

01:54:39.320 You know, when you have Alexander Hamilton, you kind of can see why he turns. 1.00

01:54:45.760 You don't necessarily agree with him, but you can see, oh man, what a stupid mistake that 1.00

01:54:50.880 was. 1.00

01:54:51.240 What a stupid mistake that was. 1.00

01:54:52.240 Human error, right. 1.00

01:54:52.460 Yeah, just a series of human errors where he turns.

01:54:56.320 Yep.

01:54:58.900 What is, is it Washington's error?

01:55:01.900 No, it's not, you know, it's not a, it's not a Benedict Arnold where I feel slighted

01:55:05.640 and I'm going to do it.

01:55:06.340 Did I say Benedict Arnold?

01:55:07.520 I know you meant though, I know you meant, yeah.

01:55:09.820 Benedict Arnold, you know, has this, you see all the slights, and so, you know, it's ego

01:55:15.180 and hubris and all the other things that go along with any great fall.

01:55:18.780 With this one, it's not that at all.

01:55:20.160 It's nothing personal, you know, and I think it's, you know, we in America, as you know,

01:55:24.360 we take our heroes, we dip them in granite, we build statues of them, and we do them a

01:55:30.280 disservice because they're not human anymore.

01:55:32.720 They become these lowercase g gods, which is horrible, and we're worshiping the wrong 1.00

01:55:38.320 thing when we do that.

01:55:39.400 And these people, anyone you look up to, as you know, I've talked many times, whether

01:55:42.940 it's George Washington or Rosa Parks or Dr. King had a moment, any hero you've ever

01:55:47.920 loved, had a moment where they were scared, and they were terrified, they didn't think

01:55:51.760 they could go on, and they keep going forward, they choose to go forward.

01:55:55.080 And what happens in this moment, what we also do with the revolution, as you know, is we

01:56:00.100 tell the story that we all gathered around democracy, we held hands, we marched forward

01:56:04.600 as one, and we beat the greatest fighting force, the British that the world had ever seen 1.00

01:56:08.180 at the time.

01:56:09.160 And again, it's a great story.

01:56:10.900 It's not the real story.

01:56:12.100 It was so much more complex.

01:56:14.680 We weren't, you know, we think we're divided now.

01:56:17.260 We were so divided back then that there were nearly, in New York City in 1776, there were

01:56:22.140 nearly as many loyalists on the British side as there were on the Patriot side, on the American

01:56:27.120 side.

01:56:27.700 And it was the same in our own military.

01:56:29.280 Our own military, you had, you know, all these different regiments.

01:56:32.440 So one of my favorite scenes in the book is you have the Massachusetts Regiment is meeting

01:56:36.400 the Virginia Regiment for the first time.

01:56:38.200 It's in Harvard Yard.

01:56:39.060 George Washington is there, and, you know, these guys from Massachusetts, they look at

01:56:43.400 the uniform of the Virginians.

01:56:45.560 They have some frilly thing on the uniform.

01:56:47.540 You know, we don't even have one uniform that we're fighting in.

01:56:49.820 Some guys are showing up in work shirts, and some guys don't even have shoes.

01:56:54.080 So they're not unified.

01:56:55.320 A fight breaks out, and George Washington comes racing him and grabs two of them by the neck,

01:57:00.900 and he's shaking him and basically saying, stop fighting with each other.

01:57:05.520 We're on the same team.

01:57:06.600 And when you have, you know, and if ever there were a metaphor for where we are today,

01:57:10.980 there it is.

01:57:12.020 But to me, what you have back then is you have allegiances always shifting, because here's

01:57:16.180 the one thing that happens, is it's not a sure thing that we're going to win in those

01:57:20.040 early days of the war.

01:57:21.160 In those early battles, we're getting crushed.

01:57:23.380 And in those moments, the one thing that's true then and is true now is no one wants to

01:57:28.040 be on the losing team.

01:57:29.660 And so you have the governor of New York at the time, a guy named William Tryon, who

01:57:33.920 basically is mad he's lost his job as the British governor.

01:57:36.500 He was appointed by the British.

01:57:38.000 He basically starts bribing people and seeing who can he turn.

01:57:41.320 And when you have, as you know, when it looks like America's not going to do well, and you

01:57:45.160 may not pull it out, and you got no gunpowder, you got no shoes, guess what?

01:57:50.100 They go, you know what?

01:57:51.240 I might take that money to switch.

01:57:52.780 And the plot was exactly that.

01:57:54.140 Their big grand plan, when you read the first conspiracy, is you'll see their, and we don't

01:57:59.100 know every single detail, because of course the plot was thwarted, but their plan was they're

01:58:02.700 going to blow up bridges, they're going to steal our cannons, and they were going to come 1.00

01:58:06.220 for Washington.

01:58:06.720 And it was all going to happen just as the British arrived in New York. 0.87

01:58:10.560 At end that moment, they were going to give whatever the signal was going to be.

01:58:13.720 And, you know, it sounds like something out of episode three of Star Wars, right?

01:58:17.160 But they were literally going to turn and switch, and the people who were on, that we thought 0.65

01:58:21.760 were on the Patriot side, were going to be revealed as traitors, and kill everyone there.

01:58:25.920 The name of the book is The First Conspiracy, The Secret Plot to Kill George Washington.

01:58:31.120 Brad Meltzer is the author, and he's going to be doing a podcast with us as well, so you'll

01:58:37.560 be able to hear the story, and grab the book.

01:58:39.780 It's available everywhere right now.

01:58:41.340 Brad, thank you so much.

01:58:42.360 Always great being here.

01:58:43.220 Good to have you.

01:58:44.400 All right, back in just a second.

01:58:46.360 First, our sponsor is Relief Factor.

01:58:48.040 Relief Factor is something I can speak to with personal experience.

01:58:54.300 About a year ago, I told my wife, I just can't live like this anymore, and I don't want to

01:59:00.700 take, you know, opioids.

01:59:03.660 I don't want to get into any of that.

01:59:05.220 And she said, try Relief Factor, please.

01:59:08.140 We know people who it has worked for.

01:59:09.520 Try it.

01:59:09.880 And I'm like, it's all drug-free.

01:59:11.560 It's all natural.

01:59:12.440 It's not going to work.

01:59:14.100 And she basically forced me, and I thank her for that.

01:59:18.400 Because I tried it for three weeks, just like the commercial says, try it for three

01:59:21.500 weeks.

01:59:21.860 If it doesn't work, stop taking it.

01:59:23.240 If it does, you're going to want to order more.

01:59:25.440 I still take it three times a day, and it has dramatically decreased my pain.

01:59:31.360 Four key ingredients that help your body fight against inflation.

01:59:35.040 That's the secret.

01:59:36.280 So try it out.

01:59:36.920 Inflation?

01:59:37.240 Or?

01:59:38.400 Inflammation.

01:59:38.980 Inflammation.

01:59:39.380 Because inflation would be, because I feel like I'm inflated most of the time, especially

01:59:42.500 after the holidays.

01:59:43.460 Yeah.

01:59:43.620 So I kind of like that.

01:59:44.900 Well, if it does fight inflation, we should just send it to the Fed.

01:59:47.480 Anyway, three-week quick start, only $19.95 a day.

01:59:51.400 It's a trial pack.

01:59:52.260 70% of the people who try it are just like me.

01:59:54.900 They go on to order more.

01:59:56.120 That says a lot.

01:59:57.700 Try it now.

01:59:58.380 Call 800-583-84, 800-583-84, or relieffactor.com.

02:00:08.040 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

02:00:09.800 Congratulations to Donald Trump, who I thought won the day yesterday on the serving Wendy's

02:00:18.020 and McDonald's and Burger King and Pizza Hut to Clemson.

02:00:21.720 I just thought that was spot on.

02:00:25.760 Yeah.

02:00:26.100 You know who else liked it?

02:00:27.080 Clemson.

02:00:27.880 Because it's delicious.

02:00:29.180 That's why.

02:00:30.260 That's why they liked it.

02:00:31.480 I mean, that's the real way to do it.

02:00:33.000 I really feel like he should just turn that into a thing.

02:00:36.040 Every time someone comes by, that's the food.

02:00:40.220 They're going to have to figure out something.

02:00:41.420 Because I would think that by the time they had it all presented on the table, it might

02:00:45.740 have been a little cold.

02:00:46.760 And I like it.

02:00:47.820 You're going to have to develop a system there.

02:00:49.080 I like the fact that he said, you know, the first lady and the second lady, you know,

02:00:54.400 could have made salads for you.

02:00:55.820 But you wouldn't have really necessarily believed that.

02:00:58.460 You know, like if you were the president or if I were the president, you know, we'd make

02:01:04.600 spaghetti.

02:01:05.160 People would believe, yeah, my wife made the spaghetti because that's what she does. 1.00

02:01:09.460 You know what I mean?

02:01:10.240 You don't see Melania in the kitchen making salads.

02:01:13.360 You know, she can.

02:01:14.680 But I like the fact that he said, yeah, she was going to do that.

02:01:18.460 But then we decided, let's just go to McDonald's.

02:01:21.140 Yeah.

02:01:21.320 I just love that.

02:01:22.380 I just want to be clear that that is not what my wife does. 1.00

02:01:26.100 My wife is Italian.

02:01:28.100 Yeah.

02:01:28.240 Your wife is Italian.

02:01:29.400 My wife and I both celebrate the freezer section of the grocery store as if it was the

02:01:36.500 holy grail of all capitalistic achievement.

02:01:40.540 Well, it is with all of the flavors of ice cream.

02:01:43.040 It is so good.

02:01:44.840 There's so much food.

02:01:45.960 Why am I here?

02:01:46.960 Why aren't I at McDonald's right now?

02:01:49.060 That's the only thing ever since we started talking about this story.

02:01:52.280 I am just my mouth is watering for fast food.

02:01:54.660 And I'm willing to taste test to see which one I like better.

02:01:57.720 The president could announce it.

02:01:59.060 It's research.

02:02:00.120 I think it's research.

02:02:01.340 I've got to go to all four.

02:02:03.480 Can we expense it?

02:02:04.460 I mean, I think so.

02:02:05.500 I mean, you think we can.

02:02:06.640 I think so.

02:02:07.340 I think we can.

02:02:08.240 IRS attorneys, don't call.

02:02:13.980 You're listening to Glenn Beck.
