00:01:00.120
behind from his wheelchair with his wife barbara bush right by his side he then told me a dirty joke
00:01:09.200
and then all the while while being photographed he touched me again barbara rolled her eyes as if to
00:01:17.920
say not again now lock the kids up i know we're talking about sexual assault here but here's the
00:01:27.220
dirty joke do you know who my favorite magician is david copperfield
00:01:33.500
wow terrible joke for many reasons one of which david copperfield is not even relevant anymore it shows
00:01:47.400
you how old he is bush was forced to issue a statement from his office on the matter that reads
00:01:54.800
at the age of 93 president bush has been confined to a wheelchair for five years his arms fall on the
00:02:05.480
lower waist of people with whom he takes pictures to try to put people at ease he routinely tells the
00:02:13.140
same joke and on occasion he has padded women's rear ends in what he intended to be a good nature
00:02:21.520
manner some have seen this as innocent others clearly view this as inappropriate to anyone he has offended
00:02:30.820
president bush apologizes sincerely okay the guy's 93 have you seen him lately it's not like he's out at night
00:02:42.620
working the clubs even if he was even if he was interested in sex it ain't happening baby bush is not a sexual predator that was
00:02:57.820
not a sexual assault you cannot put george h w bush 41 with the likes of harvey weinstein it's like
00:03:10.520
apples comparing them to bananas where have we heard that i'm sure no one would do that they would never call
00:03:22.060
a banana an apple would they of course not because they're clearly not the same
00:03:29.660
thursday october 26th you're listening to the glenn beck program
00:03:40.840
i don't think i could take it anymore i really i really don't i don't think i can take it anymore
00:03:51.540
he's 93 years old do you think that i mean he's reaching up from his wheelchair that's where his arms
00:04:01.940
are going to rest at a woman's hips so okay so maybe he shouldn't put his arm around you and your hip
00:04:11.560
and patch you i mean are you really that is that really what you think you walked out of there going
00:04:21.040
he was copying a feel he's 93 well he was only 90 at the time so he was spry i mean you have to
00:04:31.600
have some common sense and some common decency the guy is to think he is a sexual what was he using his
00:04:41.440
power he was using his power over you really you were afraid you were going to be trapped his wife
00:04:46.500
is there i know barbara bush she would knock him in the head if he did anything inappropriate
00:04:53.480
he says the same joke to make everybody feel comfortable and you laugh at this stupid joke
00:05:00.840
and you're like that's that's a really bad joke
00:05:07.680
i'm a hugger i hug everybody that comes into my office and and sometimes people leave and usually
00:05:17.360
guys they're like okay i can't believe i just hugged him i don't i don't i'm not a hugger
00:05:21.380
i'm a hugger you rethinking that honestly nope nope nope you're not nope would you nope nope nope okay
00:05:28.700
would i what would you reconsider no i would not no i would not nope uh no uh because i mean
00:05:34.300
it's that world right now no i don't care i i mean we have we talked yesterday about another
00:05:42.140
director who's you know uh being uh here's here's a difference people now here's a difference mark
00:05:47.500
halperin today okay all right here's the difference do you know what happened with mark halperin have
00:05:51.740
you read the accounts i did although he denies them we should point that out okay so uh and he's
00:05:57.140
already been fired yep that he's already been fired he's out now if he did these things he
00:06:04.120
should be out but did he do these things witch hunt we should get you know we should get we should
00:06:11.740
get the crucible out we should start reading the crucible will they allow your kids to read the
00:06:17.000
crucible in school anymore because i know we used to have to we used to have to read the crucible every
00:06:23.340
single year we read the stupid crucible why because it was to show us you don't go after communists
00:06:31.920
i'll tell you that right now that's what that whole thing was about it was about the witch hunt
00:06:38.620
in salem but it was written as a warning to society during the uh communist trials of the 1950s
00:06:47.540
and man we had to learn that in school at the height of the cold war we had to learn don't just go on
00:06:56.400
accusations don't you dare do that it'll be like the salem witch trials what the hell are we doing
00:07:03.240
and again that's not to say that any of these specific accusations are part of a witch hunt
00:07:09.020
by any means we don't know right i don't know i don't know mark halperin at all no he's been on the
00:07:14.680
show a couple times right i don't know years i think he has been um but again it's just that is
00:07:20.960
it doesn't matter like i these claims could be very well true but it's just like we assume they're
00:07:28.940
true just by the accusations being leveled and that is not a healthy place for society to be so
00:07:34.120
can we say let me just let me just let me just say this in case you don't know what halperin is
00:07:40.220
accused of two women and you they have some credibility i guess um because they they
00:07:49.880
they also have witnesses from the time that say i remember she came out of his office and she told
00:07:57.040
me and she was very upset about it and it's consistent with what she told me at the time
00:08:01.840
now that could mean there's you know four people in collusion i don't know but
00:08:07.040
what halperin was accused of was walking in a woman walking in to his office he grabbed her breasts
00:08:17.640
he forcefully kissed her uh without an invitation and without consent uh and then kicked her out of
00:08:27.340
the office another time he walked up to a woman and and pressed his uh you know
00:08:35.120
the technical term junk is that what you're looking for yes uh and it was you know in in
00:08:41.960
right in full standing and uh pressed his junk against her uh on her shoulder because she was
00:08:49.920
sitting down and i don't even know how he what did he do mount the chair uh and uh she felt very
00:08:57.160
uncomfortable uh and uh i guess he groped her and then she left okay that's not the same
00:09:04.660
that's not the same as what happened with george hw bush and women if you're going to start to say
00:09:14.980
that that is sexual assault you are going to destroy any credibility anyone has on actual sexual assault
00:09:25.120
words mean nothing anymore rapist it does i mean uh racist it doesn't mean anything anymore
00:09:32.780
nobody believes any kind of you're a racist we have actual nazis in the streets actual nazis in the
00:09:42.720
streets and people compare other people to nazis all the time i have done it myself it is a mistake
00:09:50.960
it's a mistake if you don't stop just using these terms for everything nothing will have any
00:10:02.420
meaning whatsoever and look you know a lot of this has to do with the surrounding circumstances it
00:10:08.580
would not be appropriate for a 35 year old guy uh to start grabbing somebody's butt or patting a butt
00:10:17.580
it's not a i mean it's probably not appropriate for bush to be doing it either obviously but i mean
00:10:21.680
sexual assault is something else can i tell you something if i am in if i am in a wheelchair
00:10:26.140
um i mean he apologizes for it right i know but i i know that because he's a decent guy george hw bush
00:10:34.340
is a decent man yeah um to if i'm in a wheelchair and i'm glenn beck and i'm a hugger and i'm a i'm a guy
00:10:42.480
who i hug you and i'm a i'm a i'm not a i'm not a serial groper or anything right so if i'm in a
00:10:51.440
wheelchair and i'm going to take a picture it is normal to put your arms around people
00:10:55.780
so he's have you seen a picture of him he looks so uncomfortable and so awkward in that wheelchair
00:11:02.980
he's trying to appear normal and so he puts his arms around people's hips yeah and and this is
00:11:11.500
you're right it's a joke to make them feel comfortable right exactly and look again though
00:11:17.500
if you put that in the in the in another person it may be unacceptable right but again it all is
00:11:24.640
about these circumstances there's a picture that ellen degeneres posted oh my gosh of her with katie
00:11:30.580
perry it was katie perry's birthday and uh katie yeah he the picture is ellen degeneres standing next
00:11:37.940
to katie perry who uh as is a normal practice wearing almost nothing uh from her belly button to her
00:11:45.180
head um but is a very low cut uh dress and she has uh she's ample uh you can see you can see
00:11:53.040
everything but the nipple pretty much yes and ellen is leaning over with her face approximately four
00:11:59.820
inches from her boobs and says hey happy birthday katie uh time to bring out the big balloons now ellen is
00:12:08.180
a woman who is attracted to other women too to add to this so it's not just and is there is that
00:12:15.160
is that sexual assault era of sexual assault in hollywood is that what that is obviously not okay
00:12:21.840
but but why but why exactly if that was a man doing that it would be horrible yep okay so it's another
00:12:29.520
woman but she is attracted to other women right so what is the difference what is the difference
00:12:37.920
and that is i think where you have the where the witch hunt comes in because if people are actually
00:12:42.820
sexually assaulting people and we said many times we want it to stop we want it to stop we want them
00:12:46.800
to go to prison we want them to pay huge penalties for that yes um the the above and beyond that
00:12:52.680
however there has to be a standard above a few people say it in an article you you can't just have
00:13:00.440
random people uh saying that uh making claims with no evidence and act as if that should make a person
00:13:12.080
lose their job or go away forever yes if they did it we want that to happen but there has to be
00:13:19.080
due process it can't just be we have a few people saying something happened to be multiple years ago
00:13:25.980
and we all just jump on the bandwagon and say that person's a dirtbag they may be a dirtbag but there
00:13:31.780
has to be due process to get to that point and right now we are the witch hunt part of this some of them
00:13:37.840
may have been witches like i don't know maybe some of them were witches the point is you got to do more
00:13:46.400
than seeing if they float it's a really good point to throw people we start throwing people who have
00:13:59.580
been accused of being a sexual predator we throw george bush strap him to his wheelchair
00:14:05.120
and throw him into a lake if he floats we know he's a sexual predator if he doesn't float he's innocent
00:14:13.960
it's not it's not a good way to operate a legal system you don't think no
00:14:29.160
we have so many we have so many things to do i don't know if you saw the tv show last night
00:14:38.260
um but uh we did something on fusion gps uh that if you don't know what's really happening on this
00:14:46.140
boy we broke it down in like 10 minutes on the chalkboard it was really funny and really good
00:14:50.940
way for you to understand it showed you all the connections showed you how crazy this thing is
00:14:56.580
and you will understand it in the end uh you can find it at theblaze.com or glennbeck.com
00:15:02.220
uh if you're a subscriber make sure you're you're watching the five o'clock show we're we're breaking
00:15:06.880
down the the uh the two biggest stories of the day in a way that you can understand them and they
00:15:13.140
make sense and uh and next week we begin with a series of chalkboards and uh next week's series
00:15:20.780
is what is socialism and we're gonna we're gonna teach this in bite-sized pieces over four days
00:15:30.260
so you and your kids can watch it and every night you can walk away and have a conversation on okay
00:15:37.040
so what does that mean what is socialism and do your i urge you do your own homework after the show
00:15:43.560
get your kids and get online check that out show them how to look for truth there's a lot in there
00:15:49.260
too that i you know how many times have we talked about socialism on the show 50 000 i mean yeah but i
00:15:54.960
there was a lot in there that i had never heard before really interesting like parts of this that
00:15:59.980
whole story that go even before marks some of it oh yeah um and socialism is in the bible yeah it's
00:16:06.640
just not called it but it's in the bible well i mean sort of in a bad way yeah yeah it's in the
00:16:12.540
old testament yeah it's a bad thing um but if you go to you look at this and there's a whole week of
00:16:18.620
this stuff and it really explains it well it's it's it's an it's an entertaining presentation of it so
00:16:23.000
it's not like boring you because i think there's an there's a chance with something like socialism
00:16:28.000
that yeah you're just gonna fall asleep um but there's so many really vivid examples of it being
00:16:34.260
tried um there's no vivid examples of it succeeding obviously uh but there are a lot of examples of
00:16:40.080
the way it was tried and sometimes tried we always think of stalin and things like this these really
00:16:44.620
bad people who were involved in that lenin and and and you know hitler and all of these people we
00:16:50.440
show you really good examples of good people good people actually trying it it's like the pizza
00:16:54.920
parlor in uh boston yeah they just did some socialist pizza experiment and they they wanted
00:17:00.940
to have a socialist utopia it's a it's a pizza parlor they got a hundred thousand dollar grant
00:17:06.860
um to to open this up and pay everybody above minimum wage and do all the nice social justice
00:17:13.880
things they just closed down it doesn't work it doesn't work it is a flawed economic system
00:17:21.480
now it might make you feel good but it's so much better to make money and then give it away
00:17:28.840
use the capitalist system to change people's lives in a good way come up with something and they did
00:17:36.480
pizza if by all accounts it was really good pizza good so make it the capitalistic way and then take
00:17:44.560
your profits and invest it in something that you want to invest in like the children and you know
00:17:51.080
kids without faces and you know worms without ears whatever your cause is i am a huge supporter
00:17:57.300
of worms without ears actually i'm a platinum uh board member are you really yeah good for you yeah
00:18:01.620
well it's important to me yeah um but uh you know there's a lot of asterisks around this claim but
00:18:06.620
elon musk is a good example of this yes elon musk made a lot of money in the capitalist system
00:18:11.280
and he decided one of the things he wanted to do was do all this green stuff so he built tesla he's
00:18:16.120
built all these other you know solar companies he's working on the hyperloop all these things that he
00:18:20.340
thinks are going to be very helpful to humanity and i may or may not agree with many of them
00:18:24.320
um a lot of them i don't care about his uh his claims uh when it comes to the environment but
00:18:29.320
he makes a really good car now there are a lot of asterisks around that with government funding
00:18:33.200
that i don't agree with that as you but i will tell you if if he didn't have the government funding
00:18:37.260
he just would have found a way to make the car cheaper i think he still would have done it yeah
00:18:40.300
because he's got billions of dollars that he made in the capitalist system now he's applying
00:18:57.720
you know i would um i would like to i'd love to have a boy i've never used this word before in a
00:19:06.880
positive i'd really like to have like a symposium sometime next year with some of the best minds
00:19:12.980
in the country um not only the uh conservative minds but also the futurist minds uh on how does
00:19:24.260
how do you how do you get a message out i think the days of of people like me are numbered
00:19:32.880
um i i worry and it has changed in the last six months and and things are becoming more and more
00:19:41.980
clear on the railroad lines that have been laid by companies like google youtube uh um
00:19:50.260
facebook and even apple is is poised to get into it how do we how do we pay for news how do we do
00:19:58.960
news how do we deliver news um when these companies can just wash you out um people are not talking
00:20:07.180
about the fact that google has hired it's this a quote its first 1000 journalists end quote
00:20:14.920
they are going to provide news and it's going to come all through them and if they don't like you
00:20:23.880
you're not going to see it it won't be i mean it'll be on some.com but how do you find it
00:20:29.200
it's already beginning you know we are going to be doing a special next uh probably after the first
00:20:38.620
of the year about media matters and i want to show you how media matters is operating and how they are
00:20:45.920
already at places like google and youtube this in their own words they're already there telling them
00:20:53.680
who should be uh dropped and who's in who who has an opinion that is important and who has an opinion
00:21:00.640
that isn't important which is offensive what isn't you want media matters deciding that because that's
00:21:07.640
who google and youtube are now listening to which brings me to a story yesterday um that we talked about
00:21:15.660
and if you have any money and you are looking to help somebody learn and gain some knowledge uh in a in a very
00:21:27.920
um effective way i want you to make a donation to prager university um prager university is dennis prager
00:21:38.540
what he has done and his team is unbelievable and what they have done is truly remarkable and they make
00:21:46.640
these five minute educational videos that look if you have a different opinion you you may not like it
00:21:52.980
because they're very effective but you can't tell me that they are inaccurate they are done by some of the
00:22:01.120
greatest minds alive today and they are now being censored on youtube and being demonetized which means
00:22:09.780
you can't uh they can't make money on them now here's the thing they operate on donations because i don't know
00:22:15.560
how many thousands of dollars each of these videos cost but they're not cheap to make and so they have
00:22:21.340
been making them on donations because they they can't rack up the views like the young turks did who are
00:22:29.880
complete conspiracy theory guys completely discredited and yet they'll sell for a billion dollars
00:22:38.900
prager you is never going to be able to cash out at a billion dollars no company is ever going to buy
00:22:43.900
prager you they're just not we can't eat our own and we must support our own and prager university i
00:22:52.920
can't recommend highly enough that you support them in every way possible even if it is
00:22:59.800
just spreading their video so they have now um uh they have now filed a lawsuit on monday
00:23:10.060
against uh youtube and who do we have on stew marissa street she's the ceo i love this woman
00:23:19.720
so smart uh from prager you hi marissa how are you hi glenn it's so thank you for this amazing
00:23:27.720
introduction i can't tell you how encouraging it is to have good people like you on our side
00:23:31.860
well wow thank you i i have been watching you and cheering you from the sidelines for a long time
00:23:37.920
and i want to do everything i can and and i've already pledged to you that mercury one is going to
00:23:43.520
um give you a a percentage of everything that we raise for education because i think you guys do
00:23:49.620
unbelievable work um so um marissa tell me what is happening at youtube
00:23:56.660
so i'll tell you something really interesting how we heard about this to begin with about a year and a
00:24:04.160
half ago we got some emails from students you know we have this student group called prager force
00:24:09.880
they're essentially our ambassadors on campuses across the united states and they started emailing in
00:24:15.200
saying hey what's going on we've been watching your videos we use them on campus but for some
00:24:20.100
reason we can't watch them uh when we get to the library we've been wanting to share them with some
00:24:24.900
other some other students and we couldn't figure out what was the issue why aren't they able to reach
00:24:30.240
see these videos so as we looked into it we figured out that our videos are being restricted and
00:24:37.100
they're being restricted from the exact audience that needs these videos more than ever so those were the
00:24:43.240
the students were the ones who told us you know we can't reach the video so we started looking into
00:24:48.460
it and we sent a few emails to google and say this must we said this must be a mistake uh why would
00:24:55.080
our videos be be censored we read through the guidelines the guidelines said that videos that
00:25:00.080
are censored are usually pornographic and graphic and uh hate speech and and violent obviously anybody
00:25:06.800
in their right mind would watch our videos and agree with us that these videos are none of the above
00:25:12.200
um so we started looking into it further we heard crickets from youtube for almost a year until we
00:25:18.780
launched a petition this this past summer and got close to 300 000 signatures at that point youtube
00:25:26.140
finally responded to us and said that they're reviewing our videos and we have this in writing
00:25:30.980
by the way they review our videos and that they deem them uh inappropriate uh and only appropriate for
00:25:37.540
mature audience so the very audience that we're trying to reach is essentially blocked from reaching
00:25:43.180
okay so our videos so so the audience can get a handle on this this is the you know these are the same
00:25:49.220
kind of people that say that we have to teach about transgendered is transgenderism to our kindergarten
00:25:56.700
classes yet students in college uh cannot handle uh why isn't communism hated uh as hated as nazism uh or um
00:26:09.020
or the ten commandments thou shalt not kill you can't handle that but a kindergartner can handle
00:26:21.780
exactly i mean that is that is our exact point and and that's the point that our students and our
00:26:28.720
viewership was making so we you know we can't allow the left to take over the university to take
00:26:36.400
over the internet as they have done with the university uh if we lose the internet which is
00:26:42.140
obviously the the way people get information these days then then what's left yeah this is the this is
00:26:49.440
the new uh hollywood and i mean i i think um for instance facebook i think is replacing is a
00:26:56.980
replacement for the telephone the television um the uh newsroom uh talk radio it's it's all forms of
00:27:07.140
communication that we have had and if you lose in facebook and you lose with youtube and google you're
00:27:14.380
never going to be found you're never going to be found do you do you know that marissa we have a
00:27:20.400
internal uh a bunch of internal documents from media matters where they say they are already in house at
00:27:27.960
youtube and google advising them on what should be cut and what should remain did were you aware of that
00:27:35.860
i'm certainly not surprised i mean from from the way that they've been dealing with us it's it's it's
00:27:43.040
it's not a surprise to me that they have it's and by the way it's complete hubris as well they believe
00:27:49.080
that they can get away with it they believe that people on our side won't fight so marissa what should
00:27:54.660
people do i know you filed a lawsuit but what should people do so first of all we are fighting goliot
00:28:02.420
and we know it suing uh google slash youtube weighed very heavily on us obviously was a very big decision
00:28:09.160
but we decided that we have to do it and we'll take any help we can get so we have a we have a petition
00:28:14.960
which obviously brought some awareness to youtube and a willingness to at least communicate with us
00:28:19.980
if you can sign the petition on our website at prairieu.com that would be immensely helpful
00:28:24.940
and share it with other people this this specific case is going to be tried in the court of public
00:28:31.080
opinion as well as in the court of law and we need you to help us win the public opinion and bring
00:28:37.000
awareness if you think about the word google people think that they can they use it as a verb
00:28:41.300
right you can google anything and find anything but that is not the case so the public should be aware
00:28:45.820
of that uh so we want everybody talking about it and of course financially this is not going to be
00:28:51.220
inexpensive so anybody who can help us in any way and by the way even five dollars is shows me and my
00:28:58.980
team that we're not in this alone so anybody who can give anything at any level um is in is hugely
00:29:06.160
encouraging and and we need anything we can get marissa i thank you so much and your team is is

banned now uh by google uh by youtube and you can find them unless you have settings on your computer
00:30:32.180
that you have set them so your kids can't watch them they'll never pop up for you if you're at a
00:30:37.900
university or if you're at a government institution you will never be able to find them
00:30:42.360
but if you don't have any filters you're going to be able to find it and i want you to watch those
00:30:47.780
and ask yourself why why would those be deleted why are those with everything you can get on youtube
00:30:58.160
how many times have you walked in and you've caught your kids online you're like what the hell are you
00:31:02.660

00:31:17.720
google them and then do everything you can to support prageru prageru.com
00:31:28.260
next hour i'm going to get into how the media is uh changing and going to change but how everything
00:31:44.680
is changing we're going to talk a little bit about uh bitcoin uh and some people think that it is the
00:31:52.120
biggest hoax on the planet other people think it is the future uh i will tell you that uh i do invest
00:32:00.940
some money only only money that was like play money it was like i don't i can handle losing that
00:32:06.920
um you know don't put more if if you're somebody and you've got like two hundred dollars and you're
00:32:12.460
like ah we could go out for a weekend and spend that or you know i could put it in bitcoin put it in
00:32:19.200
bitcoin don't do it for the weekend don't you know save up for a month if you have to whatever
00:32:24.340
it's worth doing that but never anything more than that um because uh you just don't know
00:32:30.920
but the world is changing we are here and by 2029 it's the industrial revolution these are the next 10
00:32:40.120
this is it glenn back glenn back let me quickly go to andrew in west virginia hello andrew
00:32:57.360
got about a minute go ahead hey i i completely agree with the issue that you don't want
00:33:03.820
google and youtube doing what they're doing my concern is it sounds almost like using the
00:33:09.840
government to try to push uh almost a regulatory response on them to say this is how you're going
00:33:14.560
to operate when you're a private sector business i just think that maybe it should be looked at
00:33:18.640
from the perspective of encouraging other private sector businesses to compete with youtube
00:33:24.180
google well do the same thing and not have them be unblocking okay so i i agree with you uh andrew
00:33:31.720
in theory uh i agree with you uh the lawsuit makes a rather important and nuanced case that is worth
00:33:39.440
hearing or reading and you can see it up at uh prageru.com and you should read it uh the idea is is that
00:33:47.100
they claim to stand for open dialogue and they're not and that puts them legally in a different place
