The Glenn Beck Program - The Looming War of Ones and Zeroes ｜ 6⧸17⧸19

00:00:00.000 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:00:06.500 Well, welcome to Monday. Hello, America.

00:00:09.140 Looks like we're in trouble with Russia now.

00:00:13.000 Thank you, New York Times.

00:00:14.380 New York Times ran a story that the president has said is treasonous.

00:00:20.560 I don't agree with him on that.

00:00:22.260 I'm actually happy to read this, that we're actually doing something about it.

00:00:26.600 Um, however, let's remember that Putin said World War III is going to be fought with ones and zeros.

00:00:34.480 So we are just entering another stage of this global game that I believe will end in World War III.

00:00:42.920 We'll get into that and what it means to you in one minute.

00:00:47.900 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:00:49.920 American Financing Corporation, NMLS 182334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

00:01:00.960 Okay, I want you to really understand that mortgage rates, even a seemingly small decline in interest rates, can have a big impact on your home affordability.

00:01:11.760 And the other way is true as well.

00:01:13.920 If interest rates start to rise, you're going to have a hard time paying for your mortgage if you have an adjustable loan.

00:01:21.500 Now, mortgage rates look like they're going to go down again, which is a pretty big deal in many ways.

00:01:27.900 One, it'll make your price of your loan and your home more affordable, but also that doesn't signal great things for the global economy.

00:01:35.980 If you are looking to buy a home, you're probably not going to find mortgage rates as low as they are or will be here in the next few months in a very long time, I think, possibly ever.

00:01:48.400 AmericanFinancing.net is the place that I would go and call them at 800-906-2440.

00:01:56.220 They are the mortgage consultants that I trust.

00:01:59.220 They're the mortgage consultants that don't get people wrapped up in mortgages they cannot afford.

00:02:04.220 And they work not on commission, but salary.

00:02:07.660 And so it doesn't matter if they sell you a mortgage or not.

00:02:11.780 And remember, that's what banks are doing.

00:02:13.580 They're selling you a mortgage.

00:02:14.680 They're not giving you a loan.

00:02:15.680 They're selling it to you.

00:02:16.760 And so somebody on your side is really important.

00:02:20.860 Working just with a salesperson at the bank is not the best idea.

00:02:25.580 Working with American Financing, do your own homework, is the best idea.

00:02:30.780 AmericanFinancing.net.

00:02:32.060 Call them now, 800-906-2440.

00:02:35.640 AmericanFinancing.net.

00:02:37.120 Today's show is what I've wanted to do for months.

00:02:56.900 And I haven't been able to, just haven't been able to put it in, haven't been able to get it in my mind exactly right yet.

00:03:05.220 And I've decided just to do it, even though I don't feel it's exactly right.

00:03:11.220 But I feel an urgency and have for quite some time to talk to you about a few things.

00:03:18.540 And if you have a chance to listen to today's show, listen as long as you possibly can, or go back and listen to the podcast.

00:03:25.600 You'll find this show every day on podcast on iTunes or wherever you find your podcast.

00:03:30.960 And you can listen to it at your convenience.

00:03:33.200 But today, I think, is an important one.

00:03:35.140 And we're going to start by talking about what was in the New York Times.

00:03:38.560 I don't know if you read it or you just read the headlines.

00:03:42.980 But the New York Times has come out with something that the president says is treason.

00:03:52.980 And I guess I can understand that.

00:03:55.020 But I don't agree with it because it was all vetted, apparently.

00:03:59.120 And it it states it in the article through the State Department and the NSA and John Bolton.

00:04:08.080 But here's what here's the basic gist of the story.

00:04:14.440 Let me just give you the first paragraph.

00:04:15.640 The United States is stepping up digital incursions into Russia's electric power grid in a warning to President Putin in a demonstration of how the Trump administration is using new authorities

00:04:27.640 to deploy cyber tools more aggressively, current and former government officials say.

00:04:33.800 Now, this is the problem with it.

00:04:35.400 They say it's current and former former officials.

00:04:38.100 And so it's the unnamed sources.

00:04:41.060 In interviews over the past three months, the officials described the previously unreported deployment of American computer code inside Russia's grid

00:04:49.200 and other targets as classified companion to a more publicly discussed action directed at Moscow's disinformation and hacking units around the 2018 midterm elections.

00:05:01.160 Advocates for the more aggressive strategy say it's long overdue after years of public warnings from the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI

00:05:08.660 that Russia has inserted malware that could sabotage American power plants, oil and gas pipelines or water supplies in any future conflict within the United States.

00:05:20.340 OK, this to me is good news.

00:05:23.120 This to me is something that we have been talking to you forever about.

00:05:27.320 We have been begging someone in the government to pay attention to this.

00:05:31.940 The Putin says that we are already in World War Three.

00:05:35.740 He made this announcement to a group of Western reporters, oh, probably about four years ago.

00:05:41.440 And he said the the governments of the West just don't understand it yet.

00:05:46.020 But the next war is going to be all ones and zeros.

00:05:49.440 And so there's not going to be necessarily bombs falling from the sky with us.

00:05:53.700 They will shut off the electric grid.

00:05:55.740 Now, imagine if you fry our electric grid, the chaos that would ensue just in a week.

00:06:02.720 But if you could find a way like an EMP to destroy us, 95 percent of all Americans die within the first year if you just keep our electricity off.

00:06:18.300 Let me say that again.

00:06:19.920 If Russia could find a way to keep our electricity off, 95 percent of the U.S. population dies within the first 12 months.

00:06:29.440 Now, that is quite a statement.

00:06:35.320 That's much more powerful than any nuclear weapon.

00:06:38.660 And all you have to do is just lob a few ones and zeros over our way.

00:06:45.900 Russia has already said that this is the way we will fight World War Three.

00:06:51.100 I don't I don't know if we're going to fight World War Three.

00:06:55.340 I hope we don't.

00:06:57.120 But the only thing that kept the world in balance was mutually assured destruction.

00:07:02.960 Now, this does not work in cases like Iran.

00:07:08.240 Mutually assured destruction does not matter to them because they are trying to.

00:07:14.120 Now, this is very controversial to say, and I know a lot in the media will disagree with this.

00:07:19.780 But all you have to do is read their words and take people at their word.

00:07:24.900 When they say they're going to kill you, you should take them at their word.

00:07:28.760 It's the reason why in 99, I saw Osama bin Laden as a threat and said that he would blow up buildings and there would be body and blood and buildings in the streets of Manhattan before the next decade. 0.97

00:07:39.800 Or I said the next 10 years, and it would have Osama bin Laden's name on it.

00:07:44.400 It was called crazy at the time, but it was not a prediction.

00:07:48.720 It was looking at his words and saying, this is what he says he's going to do.

00:07:53.940 Let's believe him and prepare.

00:07:56.040 We didn't same thing with same thing with ISIS and the caliphate. 0.55

00:08:04.560 We didn't take them seriously.

00:08:05.940 You have to take Iran seriously. 0.95

00:08:09.380 They believe that if they can cause chaos by shutting down or destroying America and Israel, they will hasten the return of the promised one. 0.99

00:08:20.580 Think of it as, you know, bringing think of it as a group of crazy Christians who are like, you know what, I'm tired of waiting for the second coming. 1.00

00:08:29.360 So I'm just going to make sure that I help cause Armageddon. 0.97

00:08:34.200 That's what the Iranians believe they are compelled to do. 0.99

00:08:39.100 So let's take them seriously.

00:08:43.220 The reason why they won't care about this is because they are cave dwellers.

00:08:48.080 And I don't mean that as literal as as as it sounds.

00:08:54.980 What I mean is their system is not as advanced as ours.

00:09:00.400 When's the last time you use cash?

00:09:05.040 Think of that.

00:09:05.840 When's the last time you said, I got to go to the bank and get cash.

00:09:09.560 When's the last time you filled up your tank and went inside and gave cash to the guy or to the woman?

00:09:15.740 I'm so sorry for making that awful stereotype.

00:09:18.060 We rely on a system that replenishes our our supermarket shelves 12 times a day.

00:09:31.240 There are deliveries coming to the average supermarket 10 to 12 times a day.

00:09:37.360 You cancel that for three days and our supermarket shelves are empty.

00:09:41.880 You cut our electricity off and we have no cash.

00:09:48.100 You cut our electricity off.

00:09:50.060 You cut our our communications out.

00:09:53.000 We can't communicate with one another.

00:09:55.440 We have no idea what's going on.

00:09:57.540 We can't call 9-1-1.

00:10:01.580 The world falls into chaos.

00:10:03.700 The people who are living, you know, more like the 1970s even don't have as much to lose.

00:10:11.000 Those in Afghanistan that really have spotty electricity, they don't care at all. 1.00

00:10:21.360 Russia is the probably one of the only ones that we can keep at bay with mutually assured destruction. 1.00

00:10:29.160 China probably doesn't care as much, although it is their cities are so controlled now by electronics.

00:10:38.240 They are probably starting to care more and more.

00:10:41.800 But the mass population of China won't see a difference if the modern world goes away. 0.85

00:10:48.200 Advocates of the more aggressive strategy says it's long overdue, quoting the New York Times,

00:10:52.880 after years of public warnings from the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI.

00:10:56.680 But it also can carry significant risk of escalating the daily digital Cold War between Washington and Moscow.

00:11:03.820 Guys, we're not starting this.

00:11:07.800 We're not hacking into their elections.

00:11:09.800 They hacked into ours.

00:11:11.360 The administration declined to describe specific actions it was taking under the new authorities.

00:11:16.080 Now, listen to this, which were granted separately by the White House and Congress last year to the United States Cyber Command,

00:11:24.320 the arm of the Pentagon that runs the military's offensive and defensive, offensive and defensive operations in the online world.

00:11:32.680 Stu, write this down.

00:11:33.620 We have to do a show on Cyber Command.

00:11:35.140 But in a public appearance Tuesday, President Trump's National Security Advisor, John Bolton, said the United States was now taking a broader view of potential digital targets as part of an effort to say to Russia or anyone else,

00:11:49.100 that is, quote, that is engaged in cyber operations against us, you will pay a price, end quote.

00:11:55.740 Power grids have been a low intensity battleground for years since 2012.

00:12:00.860 Current and former officials say the United States has put reconnaissance probes into the control systems of the Russian electric grid.

00:12:09.040 But now the American strategy has shifted more towards offense, officials say, with the placement of potentially crippling malware inside Russian systems,

00:12:19.100 at a depth and with an aggressiveness that has never been tried before.

00:12:23.520 It is intended partly as a warning and partly to be posed poised as a direct cyber strike if a major conflict broke out between Moscow and Russia.

00:12:35.660 The commander said that it's time to defend forward.

00:12:39.220 They don't fear us, he said to the Senate a year ago during his confirmation hearings, but finding a way to calibrate those responses so they deter attacks without inciting dangerous escalation has been the source of constant debate.

00:12:52.860 Mr. Trump issued new authorities to cyber command last summer in a still classified document known as the National Security Presidential Memorandum 13,

00:13:06.200 giving General Nakasun far more leeway to conduct offensive online operations without receiving presidential approval.

00:13:14.800 So when people said, well, the president probably didn't know about it, could be, could be because he gave this far reaching authority to cyber command last summer.

00:13:28.220 The action inside the Russian electric grid appears to have been conducted under a little known new legal authorities.

00:13:35.840 Listen to the way this is slipped in to the military authorization bill passed by Congress last summer.

00:13:42.380 This is why we don't do those big omnibus.

00:13:47.160 The measure approved the routine conduct of clandestine military activity in cyber state in cyberspace to deter, safeguard or defend against attacks or malicious cyber activities against the United States.

00:14:01.740 Now, I'm wondering if that gives them the authority to do that in country or only out of the country.

00:14:09.880 Under these laws, these actions can now be authorized by the defense secretary without presidential approval.

00:14:17.400 This is bad. This is really bad.

00:14:20.400 You don't keep giving power to different authorities.

00:14:25.540 I don't know when we're going to get that, but nobody in Washington seems to get it yet.

00:14:30.720 More on this and what it means and what you can do about it coming up in just a second.

00:14:35.420 First, let me tell you about relief factor.

00:14:37.180 If you are in pain, millions of Americans have changed their quality of life for the better.

00:14:46.500 I have met with members of this audience who have real debilitating pain and their stories really before they started taking relief factor are heartbreaking.

00:14:54.820 I know what it's like to live in real pain.

00:14:56.700 They've told me stories of how they were hopeless because their lives cascaded into a fog of heavy pain medications.

00:15:03.280 The worst.

00:15:04.700 And it led to terrible choices, terrible consequences.

00:15:08.200 Most of release factors clients are people who just can't enjoy taking a walk or playing golf or just playing with their kids or grandkids.

00:15:15.720 But the results are the same.

00:15:18.200 70% of the people who take relief factor get their life back.

00:15:22.400 70% of the people who just try the three-week quick start take it day after day, month after month.

00:15:28.480 And in my case, it's starting to come up on two years.

00:15:32.560 Relief factor.

00:15:33.680 It works.

00:15:34.720 Help control the inflammation in your body.

00:15:37.860 Help control the pain with relief factor.

00:15:40.480 If you want a drug-free and natural way to ease your pain and get your life back, go to relieffactor.com.

00:15:46.380 That's relieffactor.com.

00:15:50.060 10 seconds.

00:15:50.920 Station ID.

00:15:51.360 So I just want to give you a couple of other things.

00:16:05.740 Both Naxxon and Mr. Bolton, through a spokesman, declined to answer questions about the incursions into Russia's grid.

00:16:12.200 Officials of the National Security Council also declined to comment, but said that they had no national security concerns about the details of the New York Times reporting

00:16:21.040 about the targeting of the Russian grid, perhaps an indication that some of the intrusions were intended to be noticed by the Russians.

00:16:29.120 Of course they were.

00:16:31.520 Of course they were.

00:16:32.780 Do you honestly think that we're better off by making sure that the Russians don't know anything? 0.99

00:16:45.220 If so, why did the Russians release the tape of the hyperspeed missile?

00:16:52.740 Happened two weeks ago.

00:16:54.020 If you see it, it's like a bullet coming out of a gun.

00:16:56.380 It is not like a missile coming out of the ground.

00:16:58.380 It's unbelievable.

00:16:59.660 Why did they want the world to see that?

00:17:01.620 They wanted to see what we were.

00:17:04.080 We wanted.

00:17:04.800 They wanted us to see what they were doing.

00:17:08.800 As a warning.

00:17:09.740 So some of this stuff is a warning.

00:17:14.080 Now, so far, there's nothing in this article that is surprising.

00:17:17.700 And I wouldn't be surprised if the president trying to keep his negotiation power is is is doing two things.

00:17:29.120 One, playing the innocent.

00:17:31.960 I didn't know anything about that.

00:17:33.440 I had no idea about that.

00:17:34.920 He signed it.

00:17:35.980 He knows about it.

00:17:36.940 But this gives him, you know, some some possible credibility when sitting down at the table with Moscow of I, you know what, Vlad, a little out of control there. 0.67

00:17:50.520 I'll talk to him.

00:17:51.940 I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but that may be what he was doing there.

00:17:57.340 Also, the president is fighting for his life on an election.

00:18:00.840 And I'm sure Stu will get into the election results that we have seen now.

00:18:05.320 The polling numbers not too good for the president.

00:18:08.000 And he's got to win.

00:18:09.700 And he knows that the the press is doing everything they can to destroy him.

00:18:16.940 Personally, I think that this is good.

00:18:19.960 If I were the president, I would have come out and said, you know what? 0.95

00:18:23.020 Damn right. 0.98

00:18:24.040 Damn right. 0.98

00:18:24.500 We're doing that. 0.98

00:18:25.460 These guys meddled in our elections.

00:18:27.280 But the press has already set a trap up for him on that.

00:18:30.500 They meddled with our elections.

00:18:31.960 They've already said we're in World War three.

00:18:34.440 We don't want to be in World War three, but we will be prepared.

00:18:38.040 And we know that they have already done these things to us.

00:18:41.460 And so, yes, our cyber command is up and running.

00:18:45.580 And I feel pretty good about that.

00:18:47.260 And Americans should sleep well because we are protecting this country.

00:18:51.940 We're doing everything we can.

00:18:54.100 And the one thing I have control over is cyberspace.

00:18:57.240 And so we are we are working to protect this country.

00:19:01.720 Now I'd like to get to work and protect this country from our southern border.

00:19:05.320 And what's happening there?

00:19:06.680 There's disease that is starting to run out of control.

00:19:09.700 We could fix this quickly.

00:19:12.660 Get the Democrats to sit down at the table.

00:19:15.400 I think that would have been a good way for him to to handle this.

00:19:18.980 Now, with this being said, I want to couple this with what we have learned from the last couple of weeks.

00:19:27.440 Here we have a known enemy that is trying to cripple us.

00:19:35.080 We know that if World War three, God forbid, ever does break out, we know that the life that we currently live will be disrupted.

00:19:45.720 May not be over, but it will be disrupted.

00:19:49.980 We hope that our people can disrupt them faster than they can disrupt us and get us back onto our feet. 0.89

00:19:56.840 But we know that this is is coming, if not in our lifetime, our children's lifetime.

00:20:04.620 And it's going to be a big burden.

00:20:07.320 Everything we have, everything we have, everything we have is digital.

00:20:13.600 Now, that's not the only threat to everything we have.

00:20:17.400 The other threat is political.

00:20:21.760 The other threat is also digital, but it is political.

00:20:26.880 Look how fast we could all be erased.

00:20:31.100 Look how fast history could be erased, because almost everything now is online.

00:20:37.640 How many actually read a book?

00:20:40.040 And by the way, any book that was written after anywhere between 1880 and 1920, the paper was changed and it will eventually turn to dust.

00:20:54.220 Old, old books prior to 1880, they don't have this problem.

00:20:58.540 But our history literally can be erased and eventually will go to dust.

00:21:03.400 What is the possibility of that?

00:21:07.000 Is that probable?

00:21:08.860 Let me give you a couple of examples and show you what we should do about it next.

00:21:13.000 If you're a regular listener, then you know that I support the United States Concealed Carry Association.

00:21:29.220 They are one of the best self-defense, education, training, and legal protection out there for armed Americans, responsibly armed Americans.

00:21:39.020 Plus, they have an awesome giveaway right now.

00:21:41.080 They want to introduce themselves to you and show you what they can do for you.

00:21:44.600 And they thought, you know, we could just say, hey, you know, come visit our website.

00:21:48.200 Well, they decided to do something else.

00:21:49.980 They decided to do something, I think, very ballsy in today's world.

00:21:53.420 And that's give away free guns. 0.83

00:21:55.460 If you've missed it so far, the USCCA has been giving away free guns every single day this month.

00:22:01.000 But it ends this Friday, the 21st.

00:22:04.220 What you need to do if you want to win a brand new gun, could be 17 Sigs, could be 17 Glocks or Kimbers. 0.99

00:22:53.220 Now that can be hard to recover from.

00:22:54.900 Even so, only one in five have home security.

00:22:57.780 And I think it's mainly because the security companies make it so hard to get security.

00:23:49.060 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:23:51.000 It's Monday.

00:23:52.040 And I want to talk to you about some things.

00:23:54.700 And this is all going to be taken out of context.

00:23:56.460 This is all going to be made into conspiracy theories, etc., etc.

00:23:59.240 Pay no attention to that.

00:24:01.180 Always, always go to the original source and listen in context.

00:24:07.300 So whatever this is going to turn into, you know, through the media, whatever.

00:24:12.320 Tell your friends, always go back to the original source and listen.

00:24:17.980 But I feel compelled and have been for a while.

00:24:21.800 But I haven't known how to talk to you about this.

00:24:25.520 And I just decided, you know, last week, I'm just going to do it.

00:24:30.880 So I want to make it really clear.

00:24:34.240 What I talked about here at the beginning of the show was what's happening with Russia and the United States in cyber ops.

00:24:41.720 And they are looking for ways to be able basically to shut our power off.

00:24:48.520 And we're looking for a way to shut their power off in, God forbid, a nuclear, I mean, sorry, a cyber war.

00:24:55.360 Putin has already said World War Three would be fought with ones and zeros.

00:24:59.380 He says we're already in World War Three.

00:25:01.880 They're already trying to make us doubt our elections by hacking in.

00:25:07.760 We know that they did this in Chicago.

00:25:10.280 We know people have penetrated our power grid.

00:25:13.580 Are we doing anything about it?

00:25:15.360 New York Times came out and said, yes, we are.

00:25:18.360 The president was upset about this, but I don't think he should be.

00:25:21.500 I think this is a sign of real strength.

00:25:23.520 I'm glad to know we're doing cyber operations.

00:25:25.820 But there is another way for things to be destroyed.

00:25:29.000 And that is political correctness.

00:25:31.900 And we're already seeing this happening with the silencing of voices.

00:25:34.880 And it's getting worse and worse and worse.

00:25:37.040 And I want you to know that it's not like any other time before where if somebody said something and and, you know, Hitler wanted to, you know, make sure that they weren't heard from again.

00:25:54.000 All you had to do was hide their books or hide their printed speeches or whatever.

00:26:01.340 Now, you don't have any books.

00:26:03.640 You don't have any printed speeches.

00:26:05.880 Most people have everything digital.

00:26:08.380 So when you want to ban Stephen Crowder, if they wanted to ban Stephen Crowder, all of his stuff is up on YouTube.

00:26:16.300 They own the rights to it by putting things on YouTube and by putting things on Facebook.

00:26:24.480 If it's first run, they own the rights.

00:26:28.220 So everything that you've ever put on on Facebook or YouTube or any of these things you don't own anymore.

00:26:36.560 And so if they want to erase you, it's gone.

00:26:40.960 Think about all of your pictures that you have.

00:26:43.300 You have a most likely downloaded on a computer.

00:26:46.100 If that, God forbid, we are we are hit by some cyber weapon.

00:26:51.200 All of that history is gone.

00:26:54.820 So what are you going to do?

00:26:56.100 We need to preserve things because there are two fronts that we're fighting on.

00:27:01.300 One is an insane cyber attack, which I hope will never happen.

00:27:06.140 I don't I wish I could say I don't think it will, but I don't know anymore.

00:27:11.940 But an insane global cyber attack, which would affect all of us in the world in a horrible way.

00:27:18.080 And millions, hundreds of millions of people would die.

00:27:21.400 The second is just 1984 or Brave New World.

00:27:26.100 Where things just start to disappear.

00:27:28.300 You don't actually own the movies that you buy from from, you know, iTunes.

00:27:35.400 They have those movies.

00:27:37.320 They have those songs and they have rights to those songs and they have to renew those rights.

00:27:42.760 If, for instance, and this is going to happen, Disney says we're going to start our own service.

00:27:47.740 And so, you know what?

00:27:48.700 You can't buy any Disney things over at iTunes.

00:27:52.040 You have to buy them from us.

00:27:53.960 When those rights expire, those titles that were Disney Marvel, they will just disappear from your catalog.

00:28:01.740 You paid for them.

00:28:02.900 You bought them.

00:28:03.580 But you don't own them.

00:28:06.280 It's actually a rental system.

00:28:09.520 So if you want to destroy somebody and they become politically incorrect, you just erase them.

00:28:16.160 So what does that mean for books?

00:28:18.220 What does that mean for movies?

00:28:20.260 What does that mean for songs?

00:28:21.900 What does that mean for anything or anybody that is deemed politically incorrect?

00:28:29.420 I think we need to save them, preserve them.

00:28:32.400 And I think we need to hold them in non-digital form, because I think you could lose everything quickly.

00:28:42.500 And even if it's just political in nature, look at what's happening in Great Britain.

00:28:49.420 In Great Britain, it's becoming illegal to say the truth.

00:28:55.540 It's becoming illegal to even joke.

00:28:59.100 You can't now.

00:29:00.220 Stu, what was the story today from Great Britain where you can't have any kind of dangerous stereotypes?

00:29:09.900 I love that because they never define that.

00:29:12.340 Dangerous stereotypes in any advertising.

00:29:15.320 Yeah, they gave, I think, six months lead time for these companies to figure out how to avoid all their dangerous stereotypes.

00:29:20.680 And they talk about how it's like you can show a man working hard in a construction field.

00:29:28.840 That's OK. But it's not OK to say to then say, well, he doesn't know what he's doing around the house.

00:29:37.180 And when I first heard that, I'm like, well, so they're protecting men.

00:29:40.380 So it looks like they're not incompetent.

00:29:41.760 No, what that means is that only women know what they're doing around the house. 1.00

00:29:45.240 And that's why it's bad, because women can't be shown to only be capable of doing these household chores. 1.00

00:29:53.160 And like, you know, I don't know what year it was.

00:29:55.040 We used to do these things on Pat and Stu all the time.

00:29:56.780 These old timey like 1940s, you know, ads where it really was sexist. 0.94

00:30:02.560 I mean, the hardcore sexism really, though, the only time you see that now, I mean, guys are constantly portrayed in these ads as being completely incompetent boobs that don't know how to do anything. 0.93

00:30:13.720 Right. That's not dangerous. 0.93

00:30:14.740 That's not a dangerous.

00:30:15.680 That's not a dangerous stereotype.

00:30:17.080 No.

00:30:17.220 Yeah. So, I mean, you can't like they showed another example of you can't say that a woman is a bad driver. 1.00

00:30:23.200 Right. If you show a woman driving poorly, that means that you're perpetuating that negative stereotype.

00:30:29.120 And that would be that would be wrong and is banned now.

00:30:33.260 I mean, first of all, you have a moment of of, wow, you know, this First Amendment thing was a good idea.

00:30:37.840 And I'm kind of glad we kept it.

00:30:39.760 But I thought the exact same thing when I read it.

00:30:42.280 I thought the same thing. Boy, are we lucky we have the first and second and all of the amendments.

00:30:48.140 Right. Because that could have taken it away quickly.

00:30:49.880 It's the only thing stopping this from being the United States. Right.

00:30:53.280 I mean, like culturally, we are completely there.

00:30:55.860 They would be absolutely out here banning every bit of hate speech.

00:30:59.960 And many of these companies are doing it anyway.

00:31:01.960 There's not they can't do it through the government right now.

00:31:04.600 But I mean, this is complete reality for us.

00:31:07.300 And the only thing protecting it is the First Amendment.

00:31:09.560 And even that is, you know, as you know, has been discussed.

00:31:12.840 Sketchy. Yes, at this point.

00:31:13.860 Yeah, sketchy.

00:31:14.840 And then there's also the the just the simple truths of live.

00:31:21.640 For instance, Pat, there's a new My Little Pony series that's coming up.

00:31:28.700 Yeah, this week, a couple of new characters are going to be introduced to the My Little Pony Discovery family channel.

00:31:36.200 And they're going to be a new lesbian couple. 1.00

00:31:39.740 And to avoid any ambiguity whatsoever, the the writer of the cartoon came out and said, because he didn't he didn't want anybody to be confused.

00:31:50.080 He tweeted out they are lesbians.

00:31:55.100 Diversity and representation are important for kids for so many reasons.

00:31:59.300 And it's my first priority on everything I work on.

00:32:03.040 My Little Pony has always been about friendship and accepting people or ponies that are different from you.

00:32:08.340 So it just felt like something important to do.

00:32:11.300 How about how about not presenting?

00:32:14.320 Well, let's let's present zero characters based on sexuality for children.

00:32:19.180 How about that?

00:32:20.340 Are any of the My Little Ponies heterosexual?

00:32:23.720 No, because they've never talked about any kind of sex going on, as far as I know, on My Little Ponies.

00:32:30.040 So why is this important?

00:32:32.360 And the fact is, it isn't.

00:32:33.960 In fact, it's important not to let our kids be kids.

00:32:36.620 Can you not just leave that to us?

00:32:38.620 And we'll explain that when the time comes.

00:32:41.260 And we'll talk to him.

00:32:42.220 No, because you're a no, because you're a hater.

00:32:44.820 Right.

00:32:45.180 You're a hater.

00:32:45.900 Yeah.

00:32:46.060 And there are too many haters.

00:32:47.280 Let me give you something here that has to be preserved.

00:32:52.460 And I don't care what religion you are. 0.99

00:32:54.780 This came out in 1995, and it was issued as a warning of what was coming and a stance to make sure that people knew that these things were God ordained.

00:33:09.700 Now, this particular document has been used now by Pope Francis.

00:33:14.420 Francis took some of these out.

00:33:16.980 Other religions are starting to take pieces of this out.

00:33:20.040 In, I think, 2016, Francis asked for this document and then did one of his communications, you know, one of his big, I don't know what they call it, but declarations from the Pope based on this.

00:33:35.540 This came from my church.

00:33:37.340 Now, this is in 1995.

00:34:03.560 Gender is an essential characteristic of individual, premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose.

00:34:12.080 In the premortal realm, spirit sons and daughters knew and worshiped God as their eternal father and accepted his plan by which his children could obtain a physical body and gain earthly experience to progress towards perfection and ultimately realize their divine destiny as heirs of eternal life.

00:34:29.020 The divine plan of happiness enables family relationships to be perpetuated beyond the grave, sacred ordinances and covenants available, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:34:37.700 Now, the first commandment that God gave to Adam and Eve pertained to their potential for parenthood as husband and wife.

00:34:44.900 We declare that God's commandment for his children to multiply and replenish the earth remains in force.

00:34:50.060 We further declare that God has commanded that the sacred powers of procreation are to be employed only between man and woman lawfully wedded as husband and wife.

00:34:59.500 We declare the means by which mortal life is created to be divinely appointed.

00:35:04.640 We affirm the sanctity of life, and it's important in God's eternal plan.

00:35:09.200 Husband and wife have a solemn responsibility to love and care for each other and for their children.

00:35:16.120 Children are a heritage of the Lord.

00:35:18.080 Psalms 127 parents have a sacred duty to rear their children in love and righteousness.

00:35:25.960 Hang on just a second to provide for their physical and spiritual needs and to teach them love and serve one another.

00:35:34.160 Observe the commandments of God and be law abiding citizens wherever they live.

00:35:38.620 Husband and wives, mothers and fathers will be held accountable before God.

00:35:42.880 The family is ordained by God.

00:35:46.280 Marriage between a man and a woman is essential to his eternal plan.

00:35:49.160 Children are entitled to birth within the bonds of matrimony and reared by a father and mother who honor marital vows with complete fidelity.

00:35:57.860 Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:36:03.560 Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities.

00:36:16.440 By divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide for the necessities of life and protection of their families.

00:36:25.640 Mothers are primarily responsible for the nurture of their children. 1.00

00:36:30.040 In these sacred responsibilities, fathers and mothers are obligated to help one another as equal partners.

00:36:36.740 Disability, death, or other circumstances may necessitate individual adaptation.

00:36:42.260 Extended families should lend support when needed.

00:36:44.560 We warn that individuals who violate these covenants of chastity, who abuse spouse or offspring, or who have failed to fulfill family responsibilities, will one day stand accountable before God.

00:36:57.600 We further warn that the disintegration of the family will bring upon individuals, communities, and nations the calamities foretold by ancient and modern prophets.

00:37:07.300 We call upon responsible citizens and governments and officers of governments everywhere to promote these measures designed to maintain and strengthen the family as a fundamental unit of society.

00:37:19.040 In 1994, everyone said, what the heck is that all about?

00:37:26.220 Look at it now. 0.94

00:37:27.700 And I guarantee just by reading it on the air, there will be people that will come out and say, look at this fundamentalist monster.

00:37:38.840 Things like that must be preserved because things like that are true and they are going to come under attack.

00:37:48.820 Go look for it in Wikipedia.

00:37:51.320 Wikipedia, you'll find the story about it, but you won't find the text, which I thought was interesting, because if I look for the Declaration of Independence, I find the text as well as the story.

00:38:03.300 These things will be erased and we must preserve them.

00:38:07.700 And I want to get into that next hour.

00:38:09.460 More in just a second.

00:38:14.040 By the way, that's called the family proclamation.

00:38:16.400 Woman in Michigan is at work when she gets called from SimpliSafe Home Security or alarm is going off and simply says, SimpliSafe says, there's a man in your house.

00:38:31.040 She says, probably just my landlord.

00:38:32.620 And she said, he said, well, not if your landlord, you know, is a friend with your dog, because this guy broke into your house and is now trying to defend himself against your dog with one of your lamps.

00:38:44.960 She's like, you should call police.

00:38:46.620 I thought so.

00:38:47.920 Police were moved her alarm alert from the bottom of the list to the top of the list three and a half times faster because they have eyes on. 0.69

00:38:58.940 So when you have an alarm trip, they call you and say your alarm's gone off.

00:39:04.360 If you are out of the house, they say, can we look into the house?

00:39:08.720 They look into the house and they find out if somebody is actually, you know, breaking in.

00:39:13.760 When they find that and they have visual verification, they call 911 and you get police responding faster.

00:39:23.440 No other service does this for you.

00:39:26.220 None.

00:39:26.900 It's the best in the country.

00:39:29.620 It's SimpliSafeBeck.com.

00:39:31.460 Probably the world, but I don't want to speak because we're no better than anybody else.

00:39:50.760 Welcome to the program.

00:39:55.100 We're glad you're here.

00:39:56.100 We're just talking about how crazy the world has become so rapidly.

00:40:01.720 And, you know, when you look, when you go back and you look at this new ban in England on commercials where they can't have any dangerous stereotypes, which they don't define.

00:40:11.360 So it'll just, you know, remain in limbo.

00:40:15.040 What does that mean?

00:40:16.860 Yeah.

00:40:17.400 What does that mean for the future?

00:40:18.520 What does that mean for the Gillette ad that the left loves so much?

00:40:21.100 When guys are bullying others, they're harassing women, catcalling women, speaking over women at a meeting.

00:40:26.800 Is that enough to get banned?

00:40:28.400 I bet it doesn't.

00:40:29.320 Should the Gillette ad be banned because it shows dads teaching their sons how to shave?

00:40:35.680 Isn't that a stereotype?

00:40:37.400 Women don't shave? 1.00

00:40:38.200 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

00:40:43.760 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:40:49.800 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

00:40:51.420 Glad you're here.

00:40:52.100 It is Monday.

00:40:53.520 There was some breaking news about the poll numbers this weekend that don't look good for the president.

00:40:58.940 And the president fired his pollsters.

00:41:01.980 And, again, it doesn't look good.

00:41:04.060 But the good thing is, is we have one of, I believe, the leading guys on polls.

00:41:11.380 His name is Stu Breguier.

00:41:13.860 And he lives polls.

00:41:17.180 He eats, drinks, statistics.

00:41:20.420 He loves it.

00:41:21.400 And he has been historically very, very accurate in the way he reads polls and the polls that we should pay attention to and not pay attention to.

00:41:33.100 So I wanted to get his read on what is really happening with the polls.

00:41:37.840 And is the president in as much trouble as the press would have you believe?

00:41:42.960 We do that in one minute.

00:41:44.780 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:41:50.840 Okay, so people ask me all the time, what can I do?

00:41:53.040 What can I do?

00:41:53.600 What can I do to help save the republic?

00:41:55.360 And their frustration is understandable.

00:42:00.820 We all feel this way.

00:42:01.660 What can I do besides vote?

00:42:02.940 I'm so sick.

00:42:03.560 I guess I'm going to vote.

00:42:05.300 But what else can we do?

00:42:06.660 Well, in 2013, a group of conservatives, these are military guys, they got really fed up watching their cell phone bill going to the left.

00:42:15.700 And this started in California.

00:42:18.340 And now all of them are doing this.

00:42:21.040 They're funding Planned Parenthood.

00:42:22.800 Every time you pay your cell phone bill, your money, some of it is going to Planned Parenthood.

00:42:28.420 Some of it is going to La Raza.

00:42:29.680 It's going to things that you fight against every day.

00:42:31.720 So since 2015, this one group started by military guys, it's called Patriot Mobile.

00:42:41.240 And since 2015, they have quietly raised over $2 million to support the Constitution and the values that we believe in, all while giving the people who use Patriot Mobile a better deal.

00:42:52.980 So you're going to pay less money.

00:42:54.420 You're going to have the same service because they're on the same towers.

00:42:58.500 Everybody uses the same towers now.

00:43:00.680 And so they're on the same tower.

00:43:02.520 So you have the same great service.

00:43:04.140 You're going to save money.

00:43:05.940 And your money is not going to leftist ideas.

00:43:10.060 So it's really easy to switch over.

00:43:12.800 I urge you to switch over right now.

00:43:15.140 This is one of those things.

00:43:16.160 We always say, we're going to boycott X, Y, and Z.

00:43:18.740 And there's never a good alternative for us to boycott.

00:43:22.440 You can say, I'm not going to watch a Marvel movie or a Disney movie ever again.

00:43:26.100 You're going to because there's nobody making movies like that that are good.

00:43:30.560 You can just replace him with Patriot Mobile is the first to stake out this claim, I think, to where they can say this is as good, if not better, because it's going to save you money.

00:43:42.400 Right now, you'll get a free month of service when you switch over, and they'll make it really easy, to PatriotMobile.com.

00:43:48.900 Use the promo code BECK and save.

00:43:52.700 Promo code BECK, a free month of service at PatriotMobile.com.

00:43:57.460 So I want to bring Stu right into the Glenn Beck program, and I don't want to really get into the politics, unless you think they're important, Stu, about the Trump firing of the pollsters, because politics is politics.

00:44:22.560 I really want to stick to the facts.

00:44:24.040 How bad are the polls for President Trump at this point?

00:44:29.260 They show him really trailing everybody, including Elizabeth Warren.

00:44:35.260 Are we to believe these polls?

00:44:36.960 I mean, no.

00:44:38.180 I would say right now you have to put a—they're legitimate internal polls, and there's some external ones.

00:44:43.280 The ones you're talking about with Elizabeth Warren and stuff are largely external.

00:44:46.880 There's a lot that show him losing.

00:44:48.320 But A, it's way too early to take anything serious out of these polls.

00:44:52.020 I mean, it's important for the campaign to understand where they are and kind of be able to plan for the future.

00:45:01.180 You know, he hasn't even officially really started running for president yet.

00:45:05.200 He's not tested any of his new messaging.

00:45:07.580 He's done none of these things.

00:45:08.540 I think kind of one of the important things you're seeing in the media is people basically saying Donald Trump is firing his pollsters because they showed him losing, as if, like, he's—you know, he—if they were showing him winning, he would have loved it.

00:45:22.140 Right, exactly.

00:45:22.860 And that's not what this was.

00:45:24.040 Look, you know, they were internal polls.

00:45:26.200 We shouldn't know about them, right?

00:45:27.740 They're supposed to be hidden.

00:45:28.980 Yes, he was losing a lot of these states in these internal polls.

00:45:31.380 Initially, Trump kind of said those polls don't exist.

00:45:34.180 Then his campaign confirmed that they do, but they were from March, so they're outdated already anyway.

00:45:39.240 But beyond that, like, the issue here is that they shouldn't be out in the public.

00:45:43.780 They're supposed to be things used for internal use, right?

00:45:48.020 So the reason why these people are getting fired is because they believe the leaks came from these pollsters.

00:45:53.320 They believe these people went out there, took these polls, realized that the Trump administration was never going to let them out, and decided to leak them out.

00:46:02.140 That's a huge problem, if that's true.

00:46:04.440 You have to be able to trust your team.

00:46:08.040 And so now there's another theory out there.

00:46:10.560 He really can't trust anybody.

00:46:12.400 I mean, I feel bad for the president in some ways.

00:46:14.620 He cannot trust a single person.

00:46:16.320 No, I mean, that was interesting in that with Sarah Huckabee Sanders leaving, that was one of the people, you know, she hasn't been doing a lot of press conferences. 0.76

00:46:25.660 However, she's become a pretty central advisor to him and one of the few people that he believed he could trust.

00:46:31.800 I mean, Bill O'Reilly, as you pointed out, said nobody.

00:46:34.260 He can trust nobody.

00:46:35.140 He trusts literally zero people, maybe outside of, certainly outside of family.

00:46:40.060 Maybe some of his family he trusts, but that's about it.

00:46:42.180 But the issue here with these polls is that this is not, you know, there are some things you can learn from polls this early.

00:46:48.500 You can usually find indications as to what's possible, but we know in 18 months anything can happen here.

00:46:54.560 There's no reason to panic from these numbers at this point.

00:46:57.820 I think he could win.

00:46:59.140 I think it's not hyperbole.

00:47:01.440 You know better than I do on this stuff, and I'm always wrong when it comes to politics and predictions.

00:47:05.800 But I think it's so open, he could win by a landslide.

00:47:11.200 I mean, a Reagan-style landslide.

00:47:12.780 He could lose by a landslide.

00:47:15.200 It's that open.

00:47:16.420 I think all those things are certainly in play.

00:47:18.580 I mean, you go back to, you know, George H.W. Bush at this time was an incredibly popular president and wound up losing his re-election.

00:47:25.980 We've seen, you know, Clinton did not look good at this time in, you know, in 1992 and came back, or 1996 and came back and won.

00:47:33.920 So these things change all the time.

00:47:35.720 It's way too far out.

00:47:36.560 I mean, the one thing I think you can look at with some interest at this point when it comes to polling is more on the Democratic side.

00:47:43.880 It's interesting to see, number one, who performs best against the president.

00:47:49.080 Like, a lot of these polls will show every one of these people beating the president.

00:47:52.280 I think we all know that that's not, I mean, that's not reality.

00:47:55.780 But it is interesting, I think.

00:47:57.240 The minute he stages, the minute he steps on his stage with Elizabeth Warren, she's done.

00:48:01.140 The Elizabeth Warren thing is fascinating because it's as if the Democrats learned nothing.

00:48:06.180 It's like, take Hillary Clinton and then pop with, you know, give her, fill her with, like, really leftist policies.

00:48:13.100 So you'll not only lose her because of the style and her incompetence on the campaign, but you'll also lose a lot of people in the middle because they think she's too much of a socialist. 0.63

00:48:21.620 Where, you know, Hillary at least tried to hide that. 1.00

00:48:23.840 Elizabeth Warren loves it.

00:48:25.060 But so you take that, it's like, I can't believe they're falling for that one again.

00:48:28.660 If they put Elizabeth Warren.

00:48:29.960 I saw the numbers of Elizabeth Warren beating Trump and I thought to myself, oh, please, Democrats, please, please run.

00:48:37.600 She is specifically designed in a factory to lose to Donald Trump, right? 0.99

00:48:41.240 Oh, yeah.

00:48:41.620 If she can beat Donald Trump, literally any Democrat can beat Donald Trump right now. 0.86

00:48:46.620 Which is, you know, who knows?

00:48:47.500 Who knows how this country goes?

00:48:48.640 We have no idea.

00:48:49.320 But if you look at that and you say which candidate is performing best against a Donald Trump and you see Joe Biden is usually number one in all these recent polls that have come out publicly, he's beating Trump by the most.

00:49:04.720 And you see people who are still have large amounts of the Democrats and America, especially who have no idea who they are.

00:49:11.320 I mean, people have no idea who Pete Buttigieg is yet.

00:49:14.700 I mean, can he can he compete?

00:49:16.160 I mean, he in one of these polls, he's shown beating Donald Trump, too, although it's closer.

00:49:20.520 But a lot of this has to do with, you know, the American people have no idea who these people even are yet.

00:49:24.300 We're about to have these first debates.

00:49:26.200 Once you get through the first and second round of these debates, you'll start to get a little bit of an idea where this race is.

00:49:31.280 But as of right now, even Biden's lead, which looks insurmountable to a lot of people, is absolutely a real possibility of disintegrating.

00:49:41.740 So way too early to tell.

00:49:43.100 And I think the media's take on this, which is just trying to say, oh, Donald Trump is is shallow and he doesn't want to see people losing.

00:49:48.620 So he's firing himself.

00:49:49.600 Look, these polls leaked not once, but twice.

00:49:51.940 That's that's completely unacceptable from your team.

00:49:54.440 It's this early.

00:49:55.460 Why not switch him out?

00:49:56.940 That's a completely rational thing to do.

00:49:58.600 I saw a clip earlier today on the blaze of Ocasio-Cortez, and she was on, I don't know, meet the press or something, and she was just horrible. 0.90

00:50:09.380 She was just horrible on it.

00:50:11.380 And I thought, you know, she she doesn't work in the old style media. 1.00

00:50:16.860 She just doesn't work. 0.99

00:50:17.760 She's she's never good at it.

00:50:21.140 And if that's all she had, she'd be nowhere.

00:50:25.260 However, she is a new generation that is really, really good online.

00:50:32.660 Donald Trump is not your typical politician.

00:50:36.140 And for anybody, including me, who said the guy's not going to win, the guy won't be able to win.

00:50:42.260 It's because we were putting him into the mold of of what America really wanted before.

00:50:50.560 Well, he's not that guy.

00:50:52.880 He's he's not a typical politician where I think Joe Biden is.

00:50:57.800 And Joe Biden's strength will be in the upper end of the Democratic Party.

00:51:02.240 They'll look for that traditional guy who is just rock solid, steady, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:51:08.480 Even though he's not, they'll believe he's he looks presidential.

00:51:12.420 America is not looking for that anymore.

00:51:14.740 It's just not.

00:51:16.800 Otherwise, Donald Donald Trump would not be president.

00:51:20.280 They are looking for somebody who who who really understands what we're facing today, or at least represents that.

00:51:27.720 I will tell you, if I were if I were if I were king of the political media and I was on Donald Trump's side, I would be saying to Donald Trump and his allies, all of the people who are the 501 C3s, all of the people who are working for the president's reelection but are not connected to him. 0.90

00:51:49.120 They should really just concentrate on what the hell has happened to America. 0.83

00:51:55.100 They should be doing all of the stuff about, you know, gay bathroom. 1.00

00:51:59.900 Are we not gay bathrooms? 0.98

00:52:00.800 Trans transitional bathrooms. 0.96

00:52:03.120 All the things that have made people uncomfortable.

00:52:05.960 The silencing of voices, the crazy political correctness that's going on.

00:52:11.880 I would concentrate on the left and how crazy it has become and and and show the future using their own words behind the scenes and show this is not who you are.

00:52:27.540 This is this is what you want.

00:52:29.960 And then Ronald then Donald Trump should be doing what Ronald Reagan did.

00:52:34.480 And that is it's morning in America.

00:52:36.500 It's a new day in America.

00:52:38.500 But remember, I'm the first guy.

00:52:41.520 I'm the first guy that had a a homosexual on the Republican stand talking and speaking out about this. 1.00

00:52:51.680 I don't have a problem with homosexuality.

00:52:54.100 I don't have a problem with gay marriage.

00:52:55.700 It's up to you.

00:52:57.180 And there is a reasonable path.

00:52:59.960 But even that wasn't reasonable enough because that's not where we're headed.

00:53:04.440 And him just doing a very positive morning in America show who we really can be not in the past show who we can be, that our future is right here.

00:53:19.920 All we have to do is grab on to it.

00:53:21.460 And I think that would be effective because you have to remind people that things have gone crazy.

00:53:30.420 Things have really gone crazy and that there is somebody out there and it should be his vision of of a positive American future.

00:53:40.920 And I think that would win.

00:53:44.560 Now, whether he does that or not, I have I have no idea.

00:53:48.040 I know he will go after the press and the press will go after him.

00:53:51.720 And maybe that's winning strategy this time around as well.

00:53:54.780 I don't know.

00:53:56.880 But anything can happen in this.

00:53:59.220 We go back to Stu here on more on this in just a second.

00:54:02.220 First, our sponsor is LifeLock.

00:54:05.480 Did you know that there's a black market for frequent flyer miles?

00:54:12.000 At least a half dozen online markets have listing created by criminals who have stolen frequent flyer miles and they're trying to resell them.

00:54:20.640 And it's really hard to detect the crime since people don't check their accounts that often.

00:54:25.200 So the theft may go undetected for weeks or even months.

00:54:28.220 There are so many ways that cyber criminals are trying to take what's yours.

00:54:33.000 Personal information is exposed.

00:54:34.500 Someone can use it to commit identity theft.

00:54:37.880 That's why LifeLock is here.

00:54:40.020 LifeLock detains detects a wide range of identity threats like your social security number on sale on the dark web.

00:54:47.240 They look for these things.

00:54:48.840 If they detect your information is being used, they send you alert.

00:54:51.800 And then if there is a problem, a U.S.-based restoration specialist work to fix it.

00:54:57.180 Nobody can prevent all identity theft, monitor all transactions at all businesses.

00:55:00.660 But LifeLock sees the threats that you might miss on your own.

00:55:25.700 Station ID.

00:55:26.200 So, Stu, how right or wrong were the polls last time?

00:55:44.900 Because nobody thought that Donald Trump was going to win.

00:55:47.540 No.

00:55:48.040 I mean, you know.

00:55:48.480 Did we just not pay attention to those polls, or were they wrong?

00:55:51.260 I think there's a little bit of both in there, in that one of the big lessons that everyone

00:55:55.940 took from 2016 is never look at another poll again, because they're always wrong.

00:55:59.580 And in reality, that's not fair at all.

00:56:01.820 The national polls predicted the results.

00:56:05.960 I think they missed by about a little over 1.1 or 1.2 points.

00:56:10.900 That doesn't sound right, because we obviously know the result wasn't right.

00:56:15.880 But remember, polls don't look at the Electoral College.

00:56:18.780 Polls look at the national popular vote, which they predicted pretty accurately, honestly.

00:56:22.960 There were a few state polls that were wrong and was enough to throw the election to Donald

00:56:29.440 Trump.

00:56:29.980 And, you know, that's the Electoral College and obviously very important.

00:56:34.080 But the poll results overall for 2016 were actually really solid when it comes to the

00:56:40.800 nationwide one.

00:56:41.540 And honestly, the bigger lesson to learn, and this is a lesson that I certainly learned

00:56:45.680 in the primary, was in the primary, like, remember, Donald Trump led all the polls.

00:56:51.200 People forget, because at the very end, everyone thought Hillary Clinton was going to win and

00:56:54.600 Donald Trump won.

00:56:55.700 Well, remember, the polls also existed for the primary.

00:56:58.820 And the primary said over and over again for months, despite all the fundamentals, despite

00:57:03.340 all the things that said the opposite, that Donald Trump should win the primary and is

00:57:08.180 leading the primary.

00:57:08.900 And he did, and he did.

00:57:10.140 So, in reality, like, looking at these polls and completely dismissing them is probably 0.98

00:57:17.220 a little bit foolish.

00:57:19.100 However, again, a lot can change in a presidential election. 0.98

00:57:23.480 You know, remember, it was only a few weeks before the election happened when you have,

00:57:27.940 you know, the Access Hollywood tape coming out and polls are swinging towards Hillary Clinton

00:57:31.940 with these large margins.

00:57:33.140 And he was able to whittle away at that and come all the way back to almost even in the

00:57:38.380 popular vote right towards the end.

00:57:40.660 He hasn't started any, you know, messaging here.

00:57:43.740 The idea that, because here's some of the results.

00:57:45.780 He's down by 17 in Virginia.

00:57:47.260 State, he's probably not going to win anyway.

00:57:48.560 He's down by 15 in Maine, 14 in Minnesota.

00:57:52.160 He almost won Minnesota in 2016.

00:57:54.040 Michigan, he's down by 13 in these internal polls.

00:57:57.480 Again, they're from March.

00:57:58.720 Even the pollster who took them says at this point they're misleading.

00:58:01.420 He's losing to Biden in North Carolina by eight.

00:58:05.020 He's losing in Iowa by seven, in Ohio by one.

00:58:09.100 And, you know, these results are not good.

00:58:11.580 And obviously, he would get destroyed if these were real.

00:58:14.020 But they're not real.

00:58:14.800 And that is really important to know.

00:58:16.420 And it's also, it is also the unnamed Democrat.

00:58:20.140 It's Biden, actually.

00:58:21.100 In this particular one, it's Biden.

00:58:22.780 Though Biden, I think, stands in for the unnamed Democrat in a lot of ways.

00:58:26.640 Because he's kind of the guy, he hasn't really campaigned yet.

00:58:30.060 He's a guy that people know, but they know him largely for him being vice president.

00:58:34.220 Which, as we all know, in most cases, is just a role.

00:58:38.660 It's the backup quarterback role, right?

00:58:40.560 People kind of predict, well, if this person came in, he'd be great.

00:58:43.520 But you never actually see him doing anything if you're a Democrat.

00:58:45.920 You've never seen him actually enacting these policies.

00:58:48.500 And when he's tried to come out and propose things, he's really had a lot of trouble so far.

00:58:53.460 I mean, the Hyde Amendment is the big one where he reversed himself a multi-decade stance against public funding for abortion.

00:59:00.960 And he's come out and now reversed that stance a few times over the past few weeks.

00:59:07.160 And that's a stance that is actually largely popular among the American people.

00:59:11.680 Even people who are pro-choice, generally speaking, can get behind the idea, all right, let's not put, we know it's controversial, let's not put public funding behind it.

00:59:20.040 It's only a slight majority of Democratic voters who support overturning the Hyde Amendment.

00:59:26.700 So, I mean, it's one of those issues that if he's wavering on something, that's a simple one to be quote-unquote centrist about.

00:59:33.940 And he's already waiving on those.

00:59:35.660 I mean, what this campaign could do to him over a long period of time, he may look just as socialist as any of the others.

00:59:41.820 So I just, and maybe it's just me, I just think that when America, if the campaign is run right, when America says, all right, I've got the chaos of the Trump administration, you never know how to predict it, you know.

00:59:57.200 And I'm tired of the fighting back and forth.

01:00:00.240 However, when I look at who he's fighting against, he's fighting against the press, and most Americans don't trust the press.

01:00:07.780 So he's right on that one.

01:00:09.340 And he's also, if they run things properly, when you look at things like abortion, and you look at really pretty much everything, he's in step with the American people.

01:00:25.700 They are wildly out of step.

01:00:28.000 And when it comes down to it, they may say right now, you know what, I don't like all the chaos, I don't like all the bickering back and forth.

01:00:35.780 But when it comes down to it, if the economy is doing well, he will, they will look and say, you know what, I got a job, things are going pretty well.

01:00:47.820 I think this is stable.

01:00:50.860 I don't like these things.

01:00:53.760 And, you know, there's a chance that they do enact those things.

01:00:56.860 I'm just going to go with this one.

01:00:58.140 Let's not change horses.

01:01:00.180 As long as the economy.

01:01:01.860 Yeah, huge risk for Democrats in nominating someone like Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders, especially, who's outwardly telling you they want to change the fabric of our society.

01:01:12.480 Right.

01:01:13.080 At least Biden's attempting to hide that.

01:01:16.540 And if you have someone who says, basically, OK, here's a stable guy.

01:01:19.940 We already saw Biden in there.

01:01:21.780 Again, this is not my analysis.

01:01:23.400 I'm saying a Democratic voter or a centrist voter even who says, I don't like the chaos of Trump.

01:01:28.480 Biden, he was around.

01:01:29.800 I remember that.

01:01:30.480 You start remembering these things more fondly than they were.

01:01:32.660 There's plenty of chaos in the Obama administration, but people will forget a lot of that.

01:01:36.680 And they'll say, all right, well, he's not going to be a revolutionary.

01:01:39.620 You don't get that from Elizabeth Warren.

01:01:40.920 You don't get that from Bernie Sanders.

01:01:42.720 I don't think you're going to get that from Kamala Harris or many of these others.

01:01:45.800 And at that point, you're saying, well, I have something good.

01:01:48.320 Am I going to flush it completely down the toilet and try something different?

01:01:52.380 Or am I going to stick with what's going on right now, which has aspects I don't like, but the economy is good.

01:01:58.460 There's a lot of good things.

01:01:59.580 I think he's got a good case there.

01:02:01.080 Think about flushing things down the toilet.

01:02:12.100 If you are using public Wi-Fi, you do an online search, even in your own home, and then you're fed a bunch of ads that are for that.

01:02:25.440 I mean, you might think that's convenient, but companies are monitoring you.

01:02:30.560 They're monitoring your voice.

01:02:32.640 They're monitoring your online searches, your activity all the time.

01:02:37.460 And I think it's personal infringement myself.

01:02:40.680 I don't like it.

01:02:42.120 And it can be relentless.

01:02:43.500 And I know there's some upsides to it, but the downside is really, really bad.

01:02:48.220 It's even worse when cyber criminals invade your phone, your desktop, your tablet to steal your private information, steal your identity.

01:02:55.380 There's an easy way to build a fortress around you, and it really takes a couple of steps.

01:03:01.260 I mean, you really have to have people who are watching for your identity and a secure VPN, a virtual private network.

01:03:09.220 Please do your own homework.

01:03:10.420 There is only one true private network that I would recommend, and it is Norton Secure VPN.

01:03:16.220 Protection starts at $3.33 a month.

01:03:18.440 Go to Norton.com slash VPN.

01:03:20.820 Norton.com slash VPN.

01:03:23.200 And BlazeTV.com slash Glenn is the place to go for Blaze TV.

01:03:26.560 Get all the shows that you love.

01:03:28.420 Use the promo code Glenn for $10 off.

01:03:32.320 Two big stories, I think, that were happening this weekend, at least that caught my eye, was, one, the poll numbers, and we just addressed those.

01:03:40.420 And the second big story was the New York Times, quote, scandal of what they came out and talked about with Russia.

01:03:48.680 And I hit that earlier on, first thing on the hour one of this broadcast.

01:03:52.820 You can listen to it online.

01:03:54.920 If you missed it, you can listen to the podcast.

01:03:58.160 And I'll also hit it from a different angle coming up here in about 25 minutes.

01:04:02.320 So, stand by for that.

01:04:03.800 But what we get from the news of the day, really, is that America is changing.

01:04:13.080 The world is changing.

01:04:14.460 And there are digital players that are in bed with the left and this idea that America was never great, America is a problem, and the free market is a problem.

01:04:32.260 And that's a problem to us because we're living every day with technology that is really remarkable.

01:04:38.200 I mean, take a moment and just think about how remarkable our lives are right now.

01:04:45.520 Nobody has ever had it as easy as we have it right now.

01:04:49.260 We have access to everything.

01:04:51.000 And it's remarkable, even the poorest among us in this country.

01:04:57.200 You can share your voice.

01:04:58.980 You can be your own publisher.

01:05:00.560 You can print a book and write a book and print it, and you don't need anybody on the in-between.

01:05:07.640 You can be the next Rush Limbaugh, just not on the radio.

01:05:15.260 Just do it online.

01:05:17.400 You have no boss.

01:05:19.640 Think of this.

01:05:20.440 At the same time, and this kind of goes back to what we were talking about with the cyber warfare between Russia and the United States, voices can be silenced.

01:05:33.140 Everything can be gone.

01:05:34.480 A single keystroke, a tweak to even an algorithm, and you're behind a digital wall or America is silenced.

01:05:42.760 You don't have to worry about book burning anymore.

01:05:45.340 Digital erasing is far more effective to make sure only the popular or the politically correct speech is heard.

01:05:53.700 And I am growing more and more concerned.

01:05:56.900 And it's funny.

01:05:58.160 If you read my book, The Overton Window or The Eye of Moloch is, I think, a better, even a better novel.

01:06:06.540 You'll see that we put in there at that time, you'll see that we put in there at that time, the founders keepers.

01:06:11.360 And these were people, because the founders words were being destroyed, that they memorized.

01:06:19.180 They became Benjamin Franklin.

01:06:21.940 They became the keeper of Thomas Jefferson.

01:06:26.080 And almost like people take the Koran or the Old Testament.

01:06:35.020 I'm trying to think of the I can't think of it now.

01:06:39.080 Jewish people call the Old Testament.

01:06:40.400 But the way they memorize those things, pardon me?

01:06:45.600 Yeah, the Torah.

01:06:46.600 Thank you.

01:06:47.240 The way they memorize the Torah.

01:06:50.000 That is because there was no you couldn't count on on paper.

01:06:54.460 You couldn't count on anything.

01:06:55.840 You had to make sure that it was told in an oral tradition.

01:06:58.820 Now, we're not at that point.

01:07:00.160 However, we might be at that point if we don't take and preserve some of the things that we have.

01:07:07.320 For instance, I could be erased digitally.

01:07:10.480 You could never find a video of mine with a simple tweak of an algorithm.

01:07:15.480 You could lose all of the books if they were digital that I've ever written.

01:07:19.300 No one would know in 10 years that I even existed.

01:07:23.560 That's the world we're living in now.

01:07:26.060 Now, it's not so important when you do it to Glenn Beck.

01:07:28.220 But if you do it to Thomas Jefferson, if you do it to really Mark Twain, Mark Twain is already being erased in our schools.

01:07:39.840 Isn't he important?

01:07:41.580 And didn't they really kind of do this to Thomas Jefferson?

01:07:44.080 And we talked about this a while ago.

01:07:45.880 The first draft, you know, you look at.

01:07:49.060 Yes.

01:07:49.240 Basically, they made him out to be this slave-owning, you know, this guy with this hardcore desire for slavery.

01:07:56.520 When you read his first draft, you realize the guy couldn't stand slavery.

01:08:00.900 He hated it.

01:08:01.680 He attempted to stop it.

01:08:04.320 It was one of his main points of reasoning to declare independence from Great Britain.

01:08:09.480 As he outlined in giant letters in his own handwriting.

01:08:13.300 And yet, that gets erased to the point that now all people think about is this guy was a slave owner.

01:08:17.820 And all the rest of his work is diminished because of it.

01:08:21.300 I mean, it's a great example.

01:08:23.480 Imagine that in a much quicker fashion.

01:08:25.860 You see what they're doing with groups like these hardcore, extreme, you know, let's say, you know, neo-Nazis and things.

01:08:34.660 You see the tactics they use against them, which obviously all these groups are horrific.

01:08:38.780 But you see what they do against them.

01:08:41.000 And then you see that they do the same thing up the line where someone like Alex Jones, who might be the next step there, is now gone from all the social media.

01:08:49.340 When's the last time you've heard anybody even talk about Alex Jones other than just referencing him being banned?

01:08:53.740 I mean, what the heck is he talking about anymore?

01:08:55.040 What's his new conspiracy?

01:08:56.040 I have no idea.

01:08:57.920 In fact, he's got a new problem going on that I have long talked about.

01:09:04.040 And I don't know.

01:09:05.240 I don't know anything about it.

01:09:06.740 I'm not defending.

01:09:07.440 I'm I'm not dismissing.

01:09:09.340 But I am also not jumping on the bandwagon.

01:09:12.780 Apparently, child porn was found on his company servers, and he's offered a million dollars for anybody that can prove that it was planted there because he said it was it was planted.

01:09:26.160 It was sent to us and it was planted.

01:09:30.100 But that that'll destroy him.

01:09:32.860 If that would if that would be.

01:09:35.380 And I think they do that in a heartbeat to people, somebody and not only government or anything else.

01:09:40.660 I just mean individuals hacking in and placing stuff on your your computer and your hard drives.

01:09:47.980 And then you think you have a you think you could defend against that?

01:09:53.280 Oh, there's no way.

01:09:54.080 There's there's there's no way.

01:09:55.380 There's no way.

01:09:56.120 It's just like trying to defend a 30 year old me to claim.

01:09:59.320 Right.

01:09:59.440 There's no way to defend yourself.

01:10:01.200 There's no way.

01:10:01.520 And like, you know, you're just done.

01:10:03.620 The next step for for Alex Jones is probably what the next step was against these white supremacist organizations and such, where instead of, OK, we kicked him off of social media.

01:10:11.980 He still has his Web site.

01:10:12.940 I'm sure he's still making plenty of money off of his Web site.

01:10:15.180 Well, now you go after the ISP.

01:10:16.600 You go after the kind of the company's hosting it.

01:10:19.120 I mean, eventually you can get to a point where they'll take everything away from the beginning.

01:10:23.920 And that line will move.

01:10:25.960 You got nothing towards more and more, quote unquote, normal speech.

01:10:30.340 Yep.

01:10:30.700 OK, so here's what here's what I want to ask you to do.

01:10:34.640 And we're going to do this over over several days.

01:10:37.020 It might take weeks to do this because I want to talk to people that I really respect and get their their look in this, too.

01:10:43.520 I want to start putting a collection together about the library that needs to be preserved and a library that we that we all should have at least parts of it.

01:10:53.380 You know, for instance, we should all have the Geneva Bible.

01:10:56.800 And I you know, you should have the King James Bible, but also the Geneva Bible, because that's the one that led us into freedom.

01:11:05.120 And and David Barton has a good version of this.

01:11:08.260 It's the Patriots Bible where it explains it in today's language.

01:11:11.500 But you need to have a Geneva Bible or a Patriots Bible from David Barton.

01:11:16.440 You need to have a King James version, because who knows how those things are changed or if they're just outlawed wealth of nations, along with moral sentiments.

01:11:28.380 If we are looking at a bunch of people who say that capitalism is bad and the free market just needs to be destroyed, you have to destroy wealth of nations.

01:11:39.760 We've already destroyed moral sentiments that those are both by Adam Smith.

01:11:45.700 You need both of them together because moral sentiments is what keeps the wealth of nations actually happening, because it it makes it more moral road to serfdom.

01:11:56.700 You can't have a road to serfdom.

01:11:59.740 You you can't have Mark Twain.

01:12:04.200 How about how about how about Churchill by Boris Johnson?

01:12:10.160 Churchill is going to be destroyed.

01:12:11.820 Now, you need to have both sides and I don't remember.

01:12:16.160 It's the Empire or something.

01:12:17.600 I can't remember, but I'll find it the way Churchill was looked at in India, which is true. 0.89

01:12:23.920 He was a bad guy in India. 1.00

01:12:25.340 So you have to have both.

01:12:28.440 But I just think there are so many books that we need to preserve that could so easily be wiped out.

01:12:39.600 Again, you don't own your library if it is on Kindle.

01:12:44.640 Google Books, they can take them.

01:12:46.800 They own it.

01:12:48.020 You're renting it.

01:12:49.160 I know it says buy this book, but you don't own it.

01:12:51.940 They can just remove it.

01:12:54.580 So we need to look at the things that are really about America, about the truths of America, about the truth that are so easily being lost right now.

01:13:09.280 I think Coming Apart by Charles Murray is a really important book because it shows what was happening to us.

01:13:17.420 It shows, you know, all those controversial things that nobody wanted to talk about that shows the original divine divide.

01:13:24.280 You know, I think we need books like Greg Easterbrook's book, It's Better Than It Looks.

01:13:33.900 Or, Stu, what's the one that you would say, what's his name, that is the really positive, Stephen Pinker.

01:13:42.020 And the positive look at the West.

01:13:45.420 That's all going to be destroyed.

01:13:46.940 You can't let that out there.

01:13:48.220 Now, this is this is obviously for crazy scenarios.

01:13:54.640 This is for the losing of voices.

01:13:57.880 But we're seeing the losing of voices.

01:13:59.760 We're seeing the loss of Stephen Crowder.

01:14:04.100 My voice, Rush's voice, Sean's voice, Mark Levin's voice, any of these voices that will try to stand.

01:14:12.160 And we have a shot of being erased into a digital ghetto. 0.55

01:14:18.320 You need to preserve these things.

01:14:20.520 Somebody needs to hold on to them.

01:14:22.340 And I think this goes back to an early prompting of mine, Clay Potts.

01:14:28.840 It's why we started our museum.

01:14:31.120 Because somebody has to preserve the good and the bad.

01:14:35.040 By the way, we're doing a we're doing a museum.

01:14:39.320 It opens the last week of June and goes through the 7th of July.

01:14:46.040 And it's at our Mercury Studios.

01:14:47.720 It's a quick pop up museum about the history with Abraham Lincoln and slaves and racism.

01:14:55.140 It asked the question, what is racism?

01:14:57.480 Is that an American problem?

01:14:59.060 What is what is slavery?

01:15:01.240 Is that an American problem?

01:15:03.180 What are these things?

01:15:04.760 How do they start?

01:15:06.000 What does it mean?

01:15:07.060 Are they done?

01:15:08.540 And it is very powerful and quite honestly, quite controversial, I think, because it tells the truth.

01:15:16.800 And I have a feeling we're going to get a lot of pushback on it.

01:15:21.760 But we'll see.

01:15:23.340 Please come in and see our museum.

01:15:25.320 You will see the real Gettysburg Address, the real Emancipation Proclamation.

01:15:28.660 And it's only open for a few days at the Mercury Studios.

01:15:33.200 And you can find tickets now at mercuryone.org, mercuryone.org.

01:15:36.680 But bring your family and learn the truth.

01:15:39.040 I also would like to know if you if you had to preserve the nation, if you had to tell its story.

01:15:46.000 We obviously would put the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence in there.

01:15:52.600 We would put the Federalist Papers.

01:15:54.820 Everyone should have the Federalist Papers in there.

01:15:57.480 But what books need to be saved, both good and bad, from digital ghettoization or like we will talk about coming up in just a second, what the real point of the story from the New York Times this weekend and Donald Trump.

01:16:14.800 The point of the story with Russia is that we are trying to be in place with Russia and other countries where we can shut all electronics down, all electricity, everything.

01:16:26.300 We shut it all down because that's the way, according to Putin, the next war will be fought.

01:16:30.120 It'll be fought with ones and zeros. 0.69

01:16:32.060 So how do we shut everything down?

01:16:34.440 Well, if you shut you shut everything down, you lose everything.

01:16:38.260 So I want you to please help us with this project.

01:16:41.380 Go to Glenn Beck dot com slash save books and submit the books that you think need to be preserved the most.

01:16:49.300 Just give us the name of the book and why you think it needs to be preserved.

01:16:52.520 Glenn Beck dot com slash save books.

01:16:55.700 Go there now.

01:16:56.600 I'd also like to know who would you like to talk to or hear talk about their books?

01:17:03.040 Because I'm going to write different people and say, if you could only save five books, what would the five most important books be?

01:17:09.380 Uh, to preserve the West.

01:17:13.420 Uh, and if, uh, if you have somebody that you would like to hear from, uh, let me know on that as well.

01:19:06.200 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:19:12.640 I believe one of the biggest threats to America is what's happening really outside of sight.

01:19:20.720 I mean, they're not hiding it, but nobody's touting it.

01:19:23.000 And that's the changing of the Electoral College.

01:19:25.080 They already have, I believe, 15 states.

01:19:28.980 They're, they're what, 180 or 200 electoral votes.

01:19:35.280 They have to get to 270.

01:19:36.340 And then it's just, it's a straight popular vote.

01:19:40.340 And the left is doing this and they are very, very well financed and organized.

01:19:46.280 And we are not doing anything to combat it.

01:19:49.960 And we need to in our local states, please go to tpusa.com, tpusa, and look for all the information on the Electoral College.

01:20:00.280 You need to get involved.

01:20:02.240 This, by the way, is Turning Point USA.

01:20:04.100 We're kind of joining forces with Charlie and his organization.

01:20:08.840 We need your help to stop the loss of the Electoral College.

01:20:14.320 And it just requires a little bit of time just by making phone calls to your state.

01:20:19.020 Welcome to Glenn Beck.

01:20:24.360 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:20:29.160 You know, we were, uh, it's really funny.

01:20:35.060 We, we, we were, uh, we were talking at one point that they would just come out and then they would just say what they were really trying to do.

01:20:42.560 That the radicals, the progressives would start to say, look, I'm a democratic socialist.

01:20:47.180 Okay.

01:20:47.500 That's what I am.

01:20:48.480 And this system doesn't work.

01:20:50.780 And, uh, people thought I was crazy when I said that I'm going to play some audio that just happened this weekend.

01:20:55.320 That's a little stunning, a little stunning.

01:20:59.160 We'll give you that in one minute.

01:21:01.780 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:21:08.220 What are the things that make your pain worse?

01:21:12.540 Uh, I'm currently up at our ranch and we, we live in the mountains and we're high up and have to cross the Rockies to get there.

01:21:22.060 And altitude is really painful.

01:21:24.160 It's, it's hard for me to fly.

01:21:25.640 It is hard for me to drive and change altitude up and down.

01:21:29.160 And that increases my pain. 0.95

01:21:31.040 So that sucks. 0.91

01:21:33.240 So what are you going to do? 0.98

01:21:34.620 Well, what are the things that increase your pain?

01:21:37.280 And what are the things you're just not going to give up playing with your kids, playing with your grandkids, playing golf?

01:21:41.680 What is it that you just, you're not willing to stop doing?

01:21:44.340 May I suggest you try relief factor?

01:21:48.800 Relief factor has four key ingredients that helps your body fight against inflammation.

01:21:59.360 It's a dollar a day.

01:22:05.660 Why?

01:22:06.220 Because it works.

01:22:07.560 It works for me.

01:22:08.660 I've been taking it for about 18 months or so now, and it really does reduce my pain.

01:22:13.460 It reduces inflammation.

01:22:15.260 That's one of the biggest causes of our pain.

01:22:17.500 So try it, please.

01:22:19.020 Just for three weeks, you're out 20 bucks.

01:22:32.340 Try it.

01:22:33.260 Relief factor.com.

01:22:34.660 800-583-84.

01:22:36.720 It's relief factor.com.

01:22:54.540 So, Stu, can you take us through the audio, the audio that we just heard, if you were listening on the Blaze TV or watching or listening on the Blaze TV?

01:23:05.420 It's pretty stunning audio of people just taking their masks off.

01:23:09.840 Yeah, you talked about this for a very long time, and we've seen it in different levels, even up to the presidential election.

01:23:15.380 Now we have Democratic Socialists obviously saying they're going to run. 0.77

01:23:18.580 We have it all over Congress.

01:23:20.160 We also maybe have the most explicit example in the Denver City Council.

01:23:26.020 Now, one of the things you hear from Democratic Socialists is all we want is Norway.

01:23:30.420 All we want is Sweden.

01:23:32.020 This is all we want.

01:23:34.520 Well, that's absolutely not true.

01:23:37.240 Sweden, Norway, those are free market systems.

01:23:41.680 Those are capitalist nations with a very large safety net.

01:23:45.820 So, it's easy for somebody to say, look, I want Sweden.

01:23:50.180 We just are going to have to have higher taxes.

01:23:52.740 We still keep the free market the way it is.

01:23:54.780 In fact, we should reduce some of the regulation because Sweden and Norway are way ahead of us on less regulation.

01:24:01.680 So, businesses can make more money, but people make more money, and that's we get the taxes, and we take that money, and we have a big safety net.

01:24:10.980 But that's the message of Norway and Denmark, not what Democratic Socialists are saying.

01:24:16.740 Yeah, and we should point out, obviously, there's major issues with that.

01:24:19.880 I mean, you know, it's easy to do a Norway and a Denmark when you have a United States doing all the innovations for you, right?

01:24:25.440 Like, it's easy to be able to live off essentially the work of other countries who have a freer market.

01:24:30.260 And then, of course, there's other more, you know, day-to-day pragmatic things.

01:24:34.780 Like, for example, you know, the average new home in the United States is 2,600 square feet.

01:24:39.580 The average residence in Norway is something like 780.

01:24:43.120 So, I mean, if you—

01:24:44.040 I think the biggest thing is, and this is even too big of a state, but you could do this in, let's say, Manhattan, or you could do this in California.

01:24:52.560 If it was a country, and they had to live within their own means, and they had to live with the consequences of what they wanted to do, without dragging the rest of the country in with them.

01:25:03.880 This is a very large country, huge population, very diverse.

01:25:09.280 Not everybody wants to go that way.

01:25:11.960 So if you wanted to do it in California, do it in California, but we cut all ties to you financially, meaning we're not going to bail you out.

01:25:19.920 You have to do what Norway is doing. 0.86

01:25:22.460 They have to live within their own means or go out of business.

01:25:26.800 Right.

01:25:27.440 So there's a lot of trade-offs there.

01:25:29.080 However, most of the people who say they're democratic socialists, when you're talking about people who are philosophically advocating that viewpoint, as we've seen from Jacobin and the piece we've talked about several times in Fox, where they talk about basically what we're looking to do is overthrow capitalism.

01:25:46.680 It's not just Medicare for all.

01:25:48.060 It's not just the Green New Deal.

01:25:49.760 We want to overthrow it because we think it's bad.

01:25:51.820 They'll eventually admit it if you kind of actually go after them.

01:25:55.500 Well, in the Denver City Council, Candy Kabaka, I believe is her name, she talks about capitalism and wants to make sure that everyone understands what she really wants. 1.00

01:26:07.940 And this is not just this little vision of Norway that we've been sold.

01:26:12.120 This is full government ownership, ownership by the state of the means of production.

01:26:18.260 Listen to her outline it.

01:26:19.480 What experience do you have on shaping the economy of the city and not turning Denver into a true welfare state where there is limited potential for personal wealth and savings?

01:26:30.740 Well, I guess we'll just address the elephant in the room.

01:26:34.060 I don't believe that our current economic system actually works.

01:26:38.500 Capitalism by design is extractive.

01:26:41.340 And in order to generate profit in a capitalist system, something has to be exploited.

01:26:46.440 That's land, labor, or resources.

01:26:48.240 And I think that we're in late phase capitalism and we know it doesn't work and we've got to move into something new.

01:26:55.260 And I believe in community ownership of land, labor, resources, and distribution of those resources.

01:27:01.240 And so whatever that morphs into, I think, is what will serve community the best.

01:27:06.820 And I'm excited to usher it in by any means necessary.

01:27:11.120 I love that.

01:27:11.860 By any means necessary.

01:27:13.500 And by the way, what it's morphed into, in case she says, whatever it morphs into, so far it's 100 million dead.

01:27:20.240 So that morphing was kind of problematic for me.

01:27:23.780 Morphed into, you know, a lot of people losing their lives in every single instance it's been attempted.

01:27:31.260 So I do not want to try it.

01:27:33.180 I do not think capitalism has failed.

01:27:34.820 And we've talked about these numbers so many times.

01:27:36.600 I mean, billions of people ripped out of poverty by this system since, you know, we've been alive.

01:27:42.540 This is not going back to the, you know, you can go back to the 1800s and sure it looks great.

01:27:47.460 Go back to the 1990s.

01:27:49.220 Billions of people extracted from poverty because of this system she wants to close. 1.00

01:27:54.720 It's not a good look.

01:27:55.700 It's not a good look.

01:27:56.400 And it was, you know, and I will say the people of Denver knew that.

01:27:58.980 And that's why, of course, she actually successfully won election after those statements. 0.82

01:28:04.900 That's unbelievable.

01:28:06.500 That's absolutely unbelievable.

01:28:09.640 The people, you know, it used to be said that the people who had the most to lose did the least to save it.

01:28:16.540 It is now those with the most to lose are doing the most to lose it.

01:28:23.500 I mean, our our our nation is is is filled with people who are either in denial.

01:28:30.940 That'll never happen.

01:28:32.920 Or they are or they're actively involved in it.

01:28:38.180 I mean, these these they're telling you what they want to do.

01:28:42.300 And and I guess part of it is we haven't learned about nobody young has learned about the Soviet Union, has learned about the socialist experiments.

01:28:52.440 These are all experiments.

01:28:54.600 In fact, the first socialist experiment, I can't say the first because the first was really the pilgrims.

01:29:00.440 No, it was really Jamestown, perhaps.

01:29:02.840 And then the pilgrims, they all tried socialist.

01:29:05.320 You know, it wasn't called socialism then, but they all tried this.

01:29:08.900 We, you know, we'll all decide and we'll all just put our money in a big heap and it doesn't work.

01:29:14.600 The the a really big experiment happened in Texas, believe it or not.

01:29:20.720 And if you ever look at the skyline of Texas, just Google it real quick and you'll see a big ball around ball and it's lit up at night and it's the reunion tower.

01:29:32.660 Nobody knows what the reunion tower is.

01:29:34.700 What is reunion?

01:29:35.400 Well, reunion used to be a suburb of Dallas and it was a reunion, Texas.

01:29:41.900 It's now part of Dallas.

01:29:43.600 And it was the big first real socialist experiment in Texas where they tried this.

01:29:51.620 They tried this in the late eighteen hundreds.

01:29:54.320 In fact, one of the biggest minds of the socialist movement from France came over.

01:29:59.680 They were they were the movers and shakers and they tried it and it ended the way it always ends.

01:30:06.680 You were kicked out as soon as you got sick.

01:30:09.540 You were kicked out as soon as you got old.

01:30:12.080 You were not allowed to stay there.

01:30:14.180 And it it all fell apart.

01:30:16.420 Now, the modern socialist movement doesn't kick you out of the community.

01:30:21.760 They just kill you.

01:30:22.760 And so it completely failed and every socialist experiment ends the same way.

01:30:33.040 And what are we doing?

01:30:34.980 We were going to try a socialist experiment in America and in the West.

01:30:41.100 Well, it will end exactly the same way.

01:30:45.700 And it's amazing to me that people have not been taught the difference between the free market and what we're doing now, which is crony capitalism, crony capitalism.

01:30:58.520 The reason why this is failing in many ways is because of many of the things that the socialists are doing in companies like Google and Facebook.

01:31:09.840 What are they doing?

01:31:11.340 They're controlling everything.

01:31:13.340 They're controlling the way it works.

01:31:15.800 They're in bed with the government, if not the government here, but the government in China.

01:31:20.660 Look at Amazon.

01:31:21.980 Look at Google.

01:31:23.660 They're writing all of the laws.

01:31:26.080 So the things that we hate about capitalism, crony capitalism, that these companies just get bigger and bigger and they don't have to abide by the laws that you have to abide to.

01:31:37.140 Why is it that that Google and Facebook are having a problem right now?

01:31:43.080 They're having a problem because they they don't have to pick between a publisher being a publisher where they edit and they're responsible and you can sue them or a platform, which is just an open platform.

01:31:54.840 And everyone can say whatever they want on it.

01:31:57.220 Well, they don't want that.

01:31:58.900 They want both.

01:32:00.280 They want to have a platform that they can edit if they choose, but not get sued if they don't choose the right ones or don't catch something because they're a platform, but have all the the benefits of being a publisher as well in control speech.

01:32:16.060 Why, why, why are we having a problem because it's in bed with the government?

01:32:21.200 Why are we having a problem with so many things?

01:32:23.580 Why do this?

01:32:24.660 Why do the, why does the left hate corporations?

01:32:28.720 They hate corporations because they know they get big bloated and then they control everything because of government.

01:32:36.720 They get involved with the government.

01:32:38.320 That's crony capitalism and that's exactly what they eventually do.

01:32:45.080 Do you really think that the people in Venezuela really had a say?

01:32:50.760 Do you think the people in the former Soviet Union really had a say on how to make things?

01:32:57.360 Watch Chernobyl. 0.75

01:32:59.360 The little people didn't have anything to say. 0.99

01:33:01.700 Everybody was too afraid to say anything.

01:33:04.080 Well, that won't happen here.

01:33:06.120 Really?

01:33:06.580 Is no one afraid to say anything right now?

01:33:08.980 Is no one afraid of saying the wrong thing and being politically squashed?

01:33:13.060 How do you not see that this is exactly where we're headed?

01:33:18.800 They're doing all of the things that they, they say they hate.

01:33:22.780 Therefore, freedom.

01:33:24.220 Therefore, everybody having their fair shot.

01:33:27.660 While they're in bed with people like Google and Facebook.

01:33:30.240 Who will do nothing but enforce whatever it is they believe by any means necessary.

01:33:39.720 That last line she said should not be taken lightly.

01:33:43.240 By any means necessary.

01:33:46.540 True revolutionaries know you got to break a lot of eggs to make an omelet.

01:33:50.920 You just listen to George Soros in his own words on 60 Minutes when he said, look, so a lot of people, you know, they hurt, but, you know, it's kind of fun doing this.

01:34:04.640 You're destroying people and you don't care.

01:34:07.660 Because it's not about the individual.

01:34:10.180 It's for the greater good.

01:34:12.060 And there is no greater good without the individual.

01:34:14.980 It becomes a, it becomes a greater nightmare.

01:34:19.840 And that's what our founders knew.

01:34:22.440 And somehow or another, well, we did not somehow or another, we know how it happened.

01:34:28.240 They have made sure that our children are not educated in this and that our values and our principles are being sidelined and being silenced and discredited every step of the way.

01:34:40.480 And we need to draw a line in the sand and say, no more, not a, not an inch further and preserve those things in our own life, in our own homes, and make sure that we know how this story usually ends.

01:34:56.040 And we write ourselves into the story.

01:34:59.120 Who will we be?

01:35:00.560 Who will we be?

01:35:02.180 Who will our children be when they say any means necessary?

01:35:07.780 Who will we be?

01:35:08.960 Sponsor, this half hour is American Financing.

01:35:14.160 Financing Corporation, NMLS, 182334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

01:35:21.700 Okay, the Fed has signaled that they may drop interest rates again at their meeting later this month.

01:35:27.000 That's great news.

01:35:27.800 If you have a variable mortgage or you're looking to buy a home, that's really great news.

01:35:32.480 If they drop them, please lock your mortgage in to a non-adjustable rate.

01:35:39.740 You do not want an adjustable rate because you never know.

01:35:43.840 You can, if it goes down, you can always refi again.

01:35:46.740 If it goes up, you're screwed and you may not be able to afford your house.

01:35:50.860 And I don't know if history would tell us that the rates are going to go up, but really bad history, like, you know, Weimar Republic history will tell us that it's going to go below zero.

01:36:03.700 We don't know, but until the world is, uh, stop acting insane and stop moving towards insanity at a faster and faster clip.

01:36:12.980 I suggest you lock your rates in and American financing can help you do that.

01:36:18.420 American financing.net right now.

01:36:20.400 If you're looking to buy a home or refinance, now is the time American financing.net or call 800-906-2440.

01:36:27.780 That's 800-906-2440, Americanfinancing.net.

01:36:34.420 10 seconds, station ID.

01:36:48.100 How was your father's day, Stu?

01:36:50.140 Uh, pretty good.

01:36:50.700 How about you?

01:36:52.080 Yeah, good.

01:36:52.580 What'd you do?

01:36:53.260 I had a, uh, father-son basketball camp this weekend.

01:36:58.340 Which, uh, was, so it was five hours on Friday night and then six hours on Saturday.

01:37:04.680 And, um, yeah, I, I'm not in shape.

01:37:07.980 This has how I would summarize the weekend.

01:37:09.980 Uh, I am in pain as if I conquered Everest several times.

01:37:17.640 And instead what I did was I think run a few drills, uh, and the drills that used to be easy and they no longer come that way.

01:37:27.220 So I'm in pain.

01:37:28.360 I'm in, I'm in severe pain.

01:37:29.360 Yeah.

01:37:29.620 That's how I would describe my weekend.

01:37:30.960 Yeah.

01:37:31.380 Yeah.

01:37:32.040 Yeah.

01:37:32.640 I kind of similar, kind of similar.

01:37:34.740 We're building fences and things like that.

01:37:37.100 And I realized, no, I can't really do much really of anything.

01:37:40.860 Destroying, uh, destroying an old fence, taking an old fence down with a sledgehammer.

01:37:45.020 Uh, we have two of the guys who are up here, uh, helping us with it.

01:37:48.220 And, uh, you know, they're all, you know, special forces kind of guys and watching them take the sledgehammer.

01:37:53.620 I'm thinking, nope, not, not, not a chance.

01:37:58.000 I'm not even a man anymore.

01:38:00.020 I'm not even a man.

01:38:01.180 Uh, physical labor is one of those things that we, it's, it's nice to look back on, but I don't want to go back there if I can avoid it.

01:38:09.360 It's actually, yeah, it's actually, it's weird because I want to do it.

01:38:14.700 I don't want to do it full time.

01:38:16.100 I don't want to do it full time.

01:38:17.000 Don't get me wrong.

01:38:18.060 I, I, I was, because we have a couple of heavy machinery here that I just been drinking like crazy and then operating.

01:38:25.780 Um, but we have a couple of pieces of heavy machinery and even in that, uh, you know, it's, it's a hard job.

01:38:33.680 It's a really hard job.

01:38:35.440 And I was thinking to myself, I could do this.

01:38:37.160 And then I thought, no, I really couldn't, I couldn't do this my whole life.

01:38:39.800 I love when the politicians come out and they're like, well, look, I just, we, we need to get these manufacturing jobs back.

01:38:45.820 And when none of these people had manufacturing jobs, like manufacturing jobs are, are great.

01:38:51.440 And they, you know, they are obviously a central part of our economy, but very few of the people advocating for them have actually done them.

01:38:57.640 Like they're hard.

01:38:58.900 You get your, you're in pain afterwards.

01:39:00.780 You, you know, they, they talk about, uh, this replacement of truck drivers, right.

01:39:06.300 With all these automated, uh, vehicles.

01:39:08.940 And what they're finding is when these automations come and not all of them, obviously, this is just very beginning of the circle.

01:39:15.200 But what they think is going to happen is a lot of these truck drivers who will go on, especially ones who are maybe old enough and not, you know, to look, be able to train for another gig.

01:39:23.380 Are going to retire, look around for a while and eventually go on disability because almost all of them have ailments that could qualify you for disability because they all have had to drive around and they have back problems and they have all sorts of physical issues that absolutely qualify them.

01:39:38.640 Because it's hard freaking work.

01:39:40.300 We want to save, we want to save these coal mining jobs. 1.00

01:39:43.640 Actually, I think everybody who was in a coal mining job would say, Hey, or replace it with something I can do.

01:39:49.740 I, I'm up for that.

01:39:51.460 I mean, you look at these coal miners. 0.99

01:39:53.880 No, thank you.

01:39:55.240 No, thank you. 0.66

01:39:56.800 But you know, it's, it's, it's a, it's a little ridiculous for, for us.

01:40:01.220 I, I just realized I'm dead.

01:40:03.300 The power goes out, you know, the New York times thing, you know, where we're cyber warfare.

01:40:09.160 Well, I'm dead within a week and I'm very marbled.

01:40:11.840 So I'm being eaten by the survivors that are out actually using sledgehammers.

01:40:16.140 Oh, in the cannibalism economy, you are, you're, you're high, high value.

01:40:20.540 Oh yeah.

01:40:21.240 No, I'm, they, they bid on me, the different camps.

01:40:23.960 They, they take me and they're like, okay, we got this one up for sale.

01:40:27.280 He is really soft, tender, tender eaten and very, very juicy and fatty.

01:40:32.780 People say you're not preparing for the future.

01:40:35.060 You clearly are.

01:40:36.160 I mean, look at that.

01:40:36.980 I am.

01:40:37.460 I am.

01:40:37.720 It takes a long, long amount of work to get to where you are.

01:40:40.560 I clearly am.

01:40:42.060 You know, I've, I've spent the last two weeks with my son.

01:40:47.620 It's really kind of been, it's been a hard year with, with him and cause he's coming into

01:40:54.080 his own and and that's good.

01:40:57.780 It's all good stuff, but it's hard.

01:41:00.420 And, and I'm trying to walk him through it without self-destruction because of what

01:41:05.640 is, you know, what's happening in society.

01:41:08.800 And, uh, you know, he had a real problem last year, uh, around the summertime.

01:41:13.700 And then, uh, and then this, this last year has been really, really tough and, uh, it's

01:41:22.100 hard because when you're a dad and you have more than one child, uh, it's, it's hard to

01:41:30.180 dedicate yourself to all of them at the same time.

01:41:33.420 And, uh, it's tough.

01:41:36.940 Dads, dads deserve, uh, a day of looking up and saying, Hey, thanks dad.

01:41:42.880 Cause it's, it's a hard job and harder than working construction is the Glenn Beck program.

01:41:49.720 I want to talk to you a little bit about gold line.

01:41:56.740 Uh, gold line has their four coin collection of 1881.

01:42:00.140 They're $5 Liberty gold coins from the U S they've acquired these.

01:42:04.620 Um, this is an old time hoard of these coins.

01:42:06.980 It's not a large quantity, but enough to make a special offer to gold line customers.

01:42:11.200 If you already own gold, you might want to consider going, buying more.

01:42:14.700 These are the kind of gold coins that I buy.

01:42:16.920 Uh, it's the half Eagle from the late 1800s.

01:42:20.420 This is when, you know, this is, this is when the country was at its, its height.

01:42:25.700 The moon shot of the 1800s was the railroad as we were building the railroad.

01:42:30.720 This is the money that they used.

01:42:32.360 Uh, this is a four coin collection.

01:42:34.760 It is great for history, but also for value.

01:42:38.500 These are near non-circulated in quality.

01:42:42.280 Uh, you can find it now at gold line.com.

01:42:45.480 Ask them why I buy gold coins like this, uh, and do your own homework.

01:42:51.180 Find out if gold or silver is right for you.

01:42:52.940 They have plenty of important risk information that they will do, but this is a very nice

01:42:57.080 introduction or addition to what you already have gold line.com.

01:43:01.920 The second amendment.

01:43:03.240 What's the truth behind it?

01:43:04.440 We hear all the claims.

01:43:05.420 We're going to dispel a lot of the myths about the second amendment tonight.

01:43:08.380 blaze tv.com slash Glenn promo code is Glenn.

01:43:12.280 It was a really good podcast, uh, this weekend, the Glenn Beck podcast, which you can hear

01:43:17.860 on iTunes or wherever you download a podcast.

01:43:20.840 If you're a, if you're a subscriber to the blaze, you'll get it there.

01:43:23.920 Uh, but the podcast is, it was really, really good this weekend and so well worth, um, your

01:43:29.660 time.

01:43:29.980 Just listen to it.

01:43:30.920 Even in bits and pieces over the week.

01:43:32.760 If you can, we had, um, James Lindsay and Peter Boghossian.

01:43:36.820 Uh, and these are the two scientists that are trying to take on the educational system

01:43:43.300 and trying to uproot it and say, what are you doing?

01:43:46.980 Shake it back awake and show how off track it really is.

01:43:51.160 And they have just become pariahs and they know it. 0.51

01:43:54.260 And, um, we had a fascinating conversation.

01:43:56.800 I want to just play a couple of things.

01:43:58.440 Uh, Boghossian is a, is a big, um, uh, atheist. 0.91

01:44:04.120 And I, I, I wondered how we were going to be able to sit down and have a real conversation.

01:44:10.160 Uh, and if this would come up and if it did, how it would be handled.

01:44:14.020 I want you to listen to this.

01:44:15.340 Here's Lindsay and Boghossian on religion.

01:44:17.400 The only reason people believe in the new religion is because they stopped believing in 0.73

01:44:22.840 the old, right?

01:44:23.900 Nietzsche.

01:44:24.320 Uh, it's, uh, kind of, I was thinking about game of thrones, but yeah.

01:44:30.540 Now I have the new gods and the old gods.

01:44:32.420 Thank you.

01:44:33.060 Uh, and so Jim and I have written extensively about how there's a new religion and then

01:44:37.900 this new religion is it's, I don't know if it's a religion or a worldview or a cult.

01:44:42.060 We're still almost a religion.

01:44:43.320 It is a faith tradition or not tradition.

01:44:45.300 Really?

01:44:45.560 It is a faith system for certain social justice, uh, is a faith system at this point, but they

01:44:51.700 won't admit it because they don't have to, because there can, it looks like knowledge.

01:44:55.480 They aren't pointing to scripture.

01:44:56.900 They're pointing to, but it is their scripture.

01:44:59.280 It is.

01:44:59.640 It is.

01:45:00.160 Functionally it is.

01:45:01.000 We have the parallels that you can speak to.

01:45:03.540 Privilege being original sin, political correctness being blasphemy.

01:45:07.140 Yeah.

01:45:07.500 Privilege also being depravity.

01:45:09.260 Yeah.

01:45:09.800 Right.

01:45:09.940 It corrupts you totally and makes it so that you can't do anything, but in, in, in depravity

01:45:14.880 in the religious sense or Calvinist sense, it's that you are depraved in the sense that

01:45:18.960 you seek to sin and here it's your privilege.

01:45:21.520 So you seek to maintain your privilege.

01:45:23.380 It's a perfect parallel, uh, concept and they go all the way down.

01:45:28.120 Wokeness is being born again and you can just go down the list.

01:45:31.160 Have you written this yet?

01:45:32.380 Yeah.

01:45:32.520 Yeah.

01:45:32.960 I wrote it just before Christmas.

01:45:34.380 Aereo magazine.

01:45:35.040 Helen Pluckrose is our third contributor.

01:45:37.120 It's an Aereo magazine.

01:45:38.100 It's 15,000 words, so enjoy your time.

01:45:40.940 Oh, I will.

01:45:41.620 It's a solid hour.

01:45:42.740 And I think so.

01:45:43.780 Part of this is, you know, we hosted the James Damore event at Portland State University

01:45:47.160 and it was going to be James Damore and myself.

01:45:49.120 And we invited the women's studies department on stage.

01:45:51.300 They said, no.

01:45:52.180 Two days later, James and Helen Pluckrose and I did an event at Portland State and we

01:45:57.000 invited the women's studies again. 0.98

01:45:58.760 Nothing.

01:45:59.540 We have consistently invited people to have conversations with us.

01:46:03.540 And it's incredibly difficult when you want to have a conversation with us.

01:46:08.100 That's why it's so interesting to me that the people on the right have been so welcoming

01:46:13.440 to us, right?

01:46:14.860 I mean, I've never lied to anybody.

01:46:16.580 You know, I'm an atheist.

01:46:17.460 You know, I'm a liberal.

01:46:17.960 I've never lied to anybody, but you've never lied to anybody about what you believe.

01:46:22.140 And I've been totally taken aback by how welcoming people are.

01:46:27.480 Because you, because perhaps you have bought into the narrative that the right and some

01:46:36.120 on the right are this way, are a progressive right, are a big government, big control, you

01:46:43.340 know, that there are those Christians who are like, my way on the highway, good, we can

01:46:46.980 get everybody baptized or whatever.

01:46:48.560 That there are, there is that sliver, but the right generally, the strength still is this

01:46:55.900 constitutional, I don't hate my neighbor.

01:46:59.080 I don't mind.

01:47:00.060 We, I want to work together.

01:47:01.260 We're, we're here because we see this vision that people can do something great with their

01:47:07.980 life.

01:47:08.360 That's different than mine.

01:47:09.620 And that's, that, that's, it's a small group of people, but I think it's actually getting

01:47:16.740 bigger because it's, it's in the American DNA.

01:47:22.580 Um, Lindsay, uh, James Lindsay and Peter Boghossian on, uh, on a broker of conversation.

01:47:29.880 Listen, I says with total sincerity that you are a sincere broker of conversation.

01:47:37.040 I appreciate you having us on, even though, you know, we have differences of opinion and

01:47:43.000 that's fantastic.

01:47:43.780 Well, I mean, you don't understand how, I mean, you're making a big deal out of this.

01:47:47.440 Is this not happening anywhere?

01:47:49.460 Because nobody, not in our lives, not in our lives.

01:47:51.920 I mean, since we've come out, people on quote, whatever our side should be, aren't inviting

01:47:56.500 us on their shows.

01:47:57.460 They're not talking to us.

01:47:58.980 They're heaping two left wing outlets since October.

01:48:01.160 They're heaping derision on us.

01:48:03.020 Like, you know, so when we did the atheist thing, everyone was like, Oh, you know, you guys

01:48:06.940 are just liberals or whatever.

01:48:09.040 Well, they were right.

01:48:09.780 But now that we've done this and that we've attacked kind of our own tribe or our own side.

01:48:14.760 And the reason is, even though I share a lot of those impulses, that doesn't mean you get

01:48:19.560 to make stuff up.

01:48:20.720 That doesn't mean you get to pretend that something is knowledge.

01:48:23.540 Like we really need to have something we can count on, something we can go to, something

01:48:30.180 we can point to, and then we can squabble over public policy.

01:48:33.520 But we need to have things that we can point to and say, Hey, you know what?

01:48:36.700 We know this.

01:48:37.780 This has been, we've come about this.

01:48:40.020 The integrity of this process is intact.

01:48:42.840 You don't have to worry about it.

01:48:44.260 The process needs to be defended.

01:48:45.580 Yeah.

01:48:45.760 The process needs to be defended.

01:48:47.500 And that's the other thing that we've lost.

01:48:49.420 So I really do appreciate you inviting us on, you having a sincere and honest conversation

01:48:55.300 with us.

01:48:55.800 And that's exactly what we need.

01:48:57.600 And we're not having it.

01:48:59.320 So can I tell you something?

01:49:00.500 Yeah.

01:49:00.720 I feel exactly the same way.

01:49:04.980 This is a, this is an amazing conversation because you realize how much we really have

01:49:10.520 in common.

01:49:12.040 And let me play these last two clips for you.

01:49:14.520 Here they are.

01:49:15.580 James Lindsay and Peter Boghossian on idea laundering.

01:49:19.860 Postmodernism, right?

01:49:20.700 Is, is what our friend Brett Weinstein calls idea laundering.

01:49:23.840 So they have this idea, like they have this moral urge and they don't know how to discharge

01:49:29.660 this urge, they don't know what to do.

01:49:30.980 So they get a bunch of other people who have this urge together, who have some kind of deep

01:49:35.760 moral feeling about something.

01:49:37.200 And they write a journal or they publish a journal.

01:49:39.360 And then they idea launder.

01:49:40.920 They start publishing their, their, I think they're insane ideas, but they start publishing

01:49:46.020 these ideas in journals.

01:49:47.080 And then those journals inform public policy.

01:49:49.700 So when someone says, how do you know the trigger warnings?

01:49:52.020 How do you know safe space?

01:49:52.960 How do you know microaggressions?

01:49:54.060 Well, they point to the journal article.

01:49:55.680 It's the same thing.

01:49:56.380 You know that observing or training men like you train dogs will prevent rape culture. 0.55

01:50:00.000 Well, you push it through a journal.

01:50:02.120 Now it's, now it's knowledge.

01:50:03.360 Now it's knowledge.

01:50:03.800 Yeah.

01:50:04.120 You have, you have the same thing.

01:50:05.540 This is how they distorted history.

01:50:07.340 We have, for instance, George Washington, all of the stories written by the guys at the

01:50:12.400 time in that knew him were next to him.

01:50:15.400 Right.

01:50:15.580 Those have all been erased and new professors come in with new studies.

01:50:20.540 It's their opinion.

01:50:21.240 And they start quoting the next book quotes that guy.

01:50:24.280 And the next book quotes the two guys.

01:50:26.240 And then all of a sudden it's done.

01:50:28.560 And what you're probably looking at there is coming out of what they call critical race

01:50:31.740 theory and critical race theories openly, historically revisionist.

01:50:35.360 What's it supposed to do?

01:50:36.540 It's supposed to show that the white power has always been trying to maintain itself. 0.85

01:50:40.660 So somehow, no matter what happened, like the civil rights successes, for example, that

01:50:46.580 was white people trying to make themselves look good by giving black people rights. 0.60

01:50:49.920 That's, it was a means for white supremacy to maintain itself.

01:50:52.720 So they rewrite history in a sense that always serves the narrative that they're trying to

01:50:57.580 spin.

01:50:58.020 And then if it gets any legs behind it, once it gets published and they teach your knowledge

01:51:02.040 this, these guys, um, we got a lot of heat this weekend for being on my program, a lot

01:51:09.440 of heat, uh, but they're used to it.

01:51:11.940 And, um, I want to leave you with one, one piece.

01:51:16.040 And this is why it is important that we have these conversations and that you engage and

01:51:23.180 you listen in the podcast.

01:51:24.260 And you suggest to me people that you think should be on the podcast that are deep thinkers

01:51:30.120 that can be reasonable and, and they base their life and their, their, their viewpoints on

01:51:37.720 facts.

01:51:39.240 Here's the last cut.

01:51:41.020 It's really interesting because I spend a lot of time with conservatives because I live

01:51:44.920 in the South.

01:51:45.480 A lot of my friends are, are conservatives and libertarian conservatives, classical liberals

01:51:48.900 at heart with conservative views.

01:51:51.040 And I am actually encouraged by what I'm seeing there, uh, again and again, I hear the same

01:51:57.220 thing and I don't know what the reasons are.

01:51:58.680 Maybe it's just cause Trump's in power and all of this, but I do know that I keep hearing

01:52:03.480 again and again, I'm tired of all the fighting.

01:52:05.760 I'm tired of it being, you know, daggers against daggers.

01:52:09.940 I'm tired of it being that I can't be your friend because our politics differ.

01:52:13.720 Let's go back to what Jefferson said, where matters of religion, politics, and philosophy

01:52:18.200 don't separate friends.

01:52:19.480 Right.

01:52:19.640 And I hear this so consistently from conservatives that I do have hope that there is at least

01:52:24.600 a sea change going on.

01:52:25.740 There is.

01:52:26.120 I do think that.

01:52:26.880 Because I did not experience that living as a liberal in the South for the last decade.

01:52:31.840 This is new to see this as the main voice that I'm hearing.

01:52:35.500 There's a hunger to have a converse, an adult conversation with people who has a different

01:52:40.260 view without being called a racist or a bigot or a homophobe.

01:52:43.660 Because what I see is people reaching across the table with an open hand.

01:52:46.240 Right.

01:52:46.740 And some people on the other side are going to slap it, but other people are going to

01:52:49.580 take it.

01:52:50.080 And the more people who take that hand, whether it's a liberal reaching to a conservative or

01:52:54.220 there's a conservative reaching to a liberal, the more people who take that hand, the faster

01:52:57.720 this problem gets.

01:52:58.380 And you probably find you have far more in common.

01:53:00.860 One has far more in common if they're conservative with a liberal.

01:53:04.760 And part of the reason is, I think, I was telling Jim, I think last night at dinner,

01:53:09.140 it's really weird.

01:53:10.180 Like, here we are, two liberal atheists.

01:53:12.060 We're on your show.

01:53:12.920 We're hanging out.

01:53:13.680 I'm having a good time.

01:53:14.540 Your staff was fantastic to me.

01:53:16.760 It's really interesting.

01:53:20.280 I wish I would have heard the rest of it.

01:53:22.080 You can hear the rest of it now on the podcast.

01:53:24.600 It came out last Saturday, so it's available now wherever you download your podcast.

01:53:29.580 Really well worth your time.

01:53:31.680 You will understand what's happening to our country.

01:53:34.480 You'll understand what's happening in education, how bad this fight really is.

01:53:39.520 And I think you'll walk away with real hope.

01:53:53.000 First thing you do when you get into your car, especially if, you know, somebody else has been driving it, is you adjust the seat.

01:54:08.220 And if you have a nice car, a luxury car, if you're blessed enough to be able to drive one of those, you know that it has all kinds of adjustments.

01:54:15.200 And it can adjust, you know, the lumbar support and you can get it just right.

01:54:19.500 Well, how about your office chair?

01:54:21.560 If your office chair has fewer than 10 customized adjustments, then you are not sitting in an X chair.

01:54:29.120 And I have to tell you, Stephen Crowder and I were talking about this the other day.

01:54:31.920 He went out and he bought one of those.

01:54:33.640 I don't know.

01:54:34.060 I think they're Herman Miller chairs.

01:54:36.660 I bought one years ago.

01:54:38.180 They're supposed to be the best chairs ever for your office, blah, blah, blah.

01:54:41.140 So when you finally get a promotion or you get a raise and you're like, I'm going to get one of those chairs because they're the best. 0.98

01:54:46.720 They suck. 1.00

01:54:47.840 They suck. 1.00

01:54:48.720 In comparison to an X chair, they're awful. 0.99

01:54:52.180 And Stephen doesn't have an X chair yet.

01:54:53.580 And he said, Glenn, he said, I got one of these really expensive chairs.

01:54:56.580 I said, I know, brother.

01:54:57.260 And he said, it's terrible.

01:54:58.400 It doesn't do anything.

01:55:00.080 An X chair has all of the adjustments that will make you sit up straight.

01:55:03.740 It will support you.

01:55:05.500 I mean, it is the best chair I've ever sat in.

01:55:35.820 So let me go over the top three stories today that I think were really important that we covered today.

01:55:43.280 The New York Times article on Russia and U.S. cyber warfare.

01:55:47.920 It kicked up a lot of dust this weekend.

01:55:50.460 President Trump said that it was a treasonous article.

01:55:52.880 I actually think this is a good article for President Trump.

01:55:56.560 It's the toughest stance on Russia yet.

01:55:59.640 It's been it's been something that I've been wondering, are we doing anything about Russia for the next election?

01:56:06.580 Are we doing anything?

01:56:07.600 Are we watching?

01:56:08.480 Are we competing in what what Putin says is World War Three a fight of ones and zeros?

01:56:16.240 According to this article, we are and the president knows about it because he signed in some new some new latitude for the the general in charge of cyber warfare.

01:56:28.460 The second article that was out this weekend, the second big talking point was that the president's poll numbers are falling apart.

01:56:36.580 And and he's fired people because he doesn't like bad poll numbers.

01:56:40.660 Not true.

01:56:41.540 He fired people because they released confidential poll numbers.

01:56:44.580 They did it not once, but twice.

01:56:46.340 They should have been fired.

01:56:47.500 The second thing that you need to know, the poll numbers are old and they're unreliable.

01:56:51.780 The president hasn't even started his campaign yet.

01:56:55.160 It is.

01:56:56.220 It's something that he needs to kick off with a real positive vision for the American future.

01:57:01.380 And he needs to execute on that vision.

01:57:03.540 I actually hope that the the polls convince the Democrats that Elizabeth Warren is the guy is the woman to run against.

01:57:13.780 President Trump, President Trump, because I think she's a disaster. 0.99

01:57:16.940 She is perhaps the only candidate, perhaps, perhaps, because this is saying quite a bit, perhaps the only candidate that could possibly ever show up.

01:57:24.820 That's worse than Hillary Clinton. 1.00

01:57:27.120 But we'll wait to see.

01:57:30.100 Hopefully.

01:57:30.900 Oh, please, Democrats, whatever you do, don't run Elizabeth Warren. 0.99

01:57:35.120 And the third article we never really got to.

01:57:37.880 And I think it's important if we can squeeze some of it in now.

01:57:40.620 Bitcoin is up to nine thousand dollars.

01:57:43.720 And this is important because it's quietly happening this time.

01:57:47.720 This is institutional money.

01:57:49.140 So this isn't the people who are like, I'm going to get rich.

01:57:52.040 This is institutional money, which changes things dramatically in the positive for Bitcoin.

01:57:58.180 Yeah, they're all reporting on on cryptocurrency has been horrible.

01:58:00.960 And they you know, all you hear is, OK, it went up to 19, 20,000.

01:58:05.080 How many you know how long it was at 19,000?

01:58:07.480 One day.

01:58:09.340 Yeah, there was a huge peak.

01:58:10.580 It was over 18,000 for three days and 17,000 for five days.

01:58:14.920 But the fact is, if you bought cryptocurrency in any month other than the peak month, I think it's now looking back at it, 24 of 26 months since the boom started, you're currently up.

01:58:29.600 So, yes, if you bought at the absolute peak, you're down.

01:58:32.560 But I mean, it would be difficult to do that.

01:58:34.500 It was only at the absolute peak for one day.

01:58:36.960 If you bought 20, any time in the 24 to 20 out of the 26 other months since the boom started, you're actually up right now.

01:58:46.620 And, you know, the media is not talking about it anymore.

01:58:49.140 It doesn't have any of the hype.

01:58:50.240 It's all negative headlines.

01:58:51.800 Yet here we are.

01:58:53.440 And I don't know if anyone remembers the time that the tulip, you know, boom happened and then it lost all of its value and then regained half of its value a year and a half later.

01:59:03.280 Because I don't remember that part of the story.

01:59:05.240 That did seem to happen.

01:59:07.640 You know, look, there's a lot of reasons why people who absolutely adore big government do not want cryptocurrency to succeed.

01:59:14.180 And that is part of this, I think.

01:59:16.000 But, you know, look, other people, maybe somebody, if you got hyped up by somebody and you bought at the peak, you felt burned by it.

01:59:22.520 But it would have been hard to do.

01:59:24.200 I mean, when looking at it, I mean, cryptocurrency has been around for a long time.

01:59:27.440 Unless you selected one of the, you know, couple of months that was at the absolute hype peak, you're actually up currently.

01:59:35.900 And nobody's telling you that.

01:59:37.860 It's a different story.

01:59:39.320 It's it's nine thousand.

01:59:41.280 And I think what is very positive is that no one is telling this story.

01:59:45.260 This is institutional lending or buying.

01:59:49.520 And this is what we said would happen.

01:59:51.780 They would drive the market down and then they'd quietly get into it and they'd get rich.

01:59:57.380 Now, really, it might be the time to get into it because it's institutional money.

02:00:02.940 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
