Transcript

00:00:00.000 The Blaze Radio Network, on demand.
00:00:09.880 Love. Courage. Truth. Glenn Beck.
00:00:16.540 There is a certain dignity and grace, definite civility and seriousness that follows the death of an important person,
00:00:24.400 a historic figure, somebody that we are now lowering our flags by presidential decree to half-staff.
00:00:33.420 Especially if they had 92 years on Earth and have been both the First Lady and the First Mother.
00:00:39.500 But Randa Gerard, an associate professor at California State University in Fresno, takes a different approach.
00:00:46.640 Within an hour of Barbara Bush's death, she decides to tweet.
00:00:51.940 Now, she loves giving the middle finger, Google her image, you know, with her name if you have the stomach for it.
00:00:59.220 Don't waste your time.
00:01:01.160 But she loves to mock whiteness, white feminism, and Israel.
00:01:05.840 She's a Muslim.
00:01:07.040 And she thinks she can do it because she's tenured.
00:01:11.060 She tweeted,
00:01:11.740 Barbara Bush was a generous and smart and amazing racist who, along with her husband, raised a war criminal.
00:01:19.260 F out of here with your nice words.
00:01:22.520 Then she tweeted,
00:01:23.500 PSA, either you're against these pieces of S and their genocidal ways or you're part of the problem.
00:01:29.860 That's actually how simple this is.
00:01:31.720 I'm happy the witch is dead.
00:01:33.400 I can't wait for the rest of her family to fall to their demise the way 1.5 million Iraqis have.
00:01:39.080 Bye.
00:01:40.400 B-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-E-E-E-E-E-E-E.
00:01:44.280 Wow.
00:01:45.480 She is an academic.
00:01:47.700 You can really tell she got an MFA in creative writing, can't you?
00:01:51.520 Quote,
00:01:51.880 All the hate I'm giving almost made me forget how happy I am that George W. Bush is probably really sad right now.
00:01:58.980 End quote.
00:01:59.420 Like an obnoxious child at a funeral, she kept going.
00:02:04.080 Even when she was asked to calm down.
00:02:06.000 Sweetie, I work as a tenured professor.
00:02:08.400 I make $100,000 a year doing that.
00:02:11.120 I'll never be fired.
00:02:12.760 I will always have people wanting to hear what I have to say.
00:02:16.680 Even you are one of them.
00:02:18.560 End quote.
00:02:19.160 Then she roped in the school's president.
00:02:21.540 LOL.
00:02:22.280 Let me help you.
00:02:23.620 You should tag my president, Joseph Castro.
00:02:26.860 That's what I love about being an American professor is my right to free speech.
00:02:30.980 And what I love about Fresno State is I always feel protected and at home here.
00:02:36.720 Go Bulldogs.
00:02:37.760 Last night, she posted what she claimed was her phone number actually turned out to be a mental health emergency crisis phone line.
00:02:44.820 Boy, I remember when I was 14.
00:02:47.980 How many students have been exposed to her toxic attitude?
00:02:54.420 There's also her equally toxic Twitter account full of expletives and insults.
00:02:59.220 All bravado and outrage.
00:03:01.080 Because we all have to be outraged about something, right?
00:03:03.660 Every other tweet, she mentions that she's a professor with tenure.
00:03:06.800 So she can do whatever she wants.
00:03:09.340 No one can do anything about it.
00:03:11.080 Don't bother to try to find her social account, though, because she's locked it now and deleted all the damning tweets.
00:03:16.820 Because that's how tough she really is.
00:03:21.620 That's how much she really matters.
00:03:29.880 It's Thursday, April 19th.
00:03:32.420 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:03:34.360 I think we need a jingle.
00:03:35.840 I think we need addicted to outrage.
00:03:39.360 Because every day there's something else to be outraged about or not.
00:03:44.040 We could be outraged by this professor.
00:03:46.820 Or not.
00:03:47.820 And it's really hard not to be outraged by her.
00:03:51.880 When she's saying these things and then saying, you know, I'm tenured and I always feel at home.
00:03:57.640 Well, you know.
00:04:03.100 Tenure was meant so you can push the envelope on thoughts.
00:04:09.280 On ideas.
00:04:11.040 And that's been lost on the universities.
00:04:14.120 Because do they hire people like me to be an associate professor?
00:04:20.180 I mean, an associate professor?
00:04:22.860 No.
00:04:23.860 Why not?
00:04:24.980 Why am I not an associate professor somewhere for the media?
00:04:28.720 Do I have nothing to share?
00:04:33.640 Do I have nothing to teach?
00:04:37.260 I can tell you I could run circles, I would imagine, around most professors in media.
00:04:42.600 But I would never be given that opportunity.
00:04:46.520 Why?
00:04:47.660 Because of my opinion.
00:04:49.760 Because of what I believe.
00:04:53.660 Others, like her, she gets tenured.
00:04:57.920 And she's welcome to say whatever she wants.
00:05:01.860 Here's the thing.
00:05:03.860 Tenure doesn't mean anything if you're not on the battlefield of ideas.
00:05:08.620 Tenure means something when you have people pushing back and forth.
00:05:15.820 It's like Princeton has Robbie George, one of the greatest minds, philosophical, theological minds in the country.
00:05:25.360 He is deeply religious, deeply spiritual.
00:05:30.180 He understands what it means truly to be a believer.
00:05:35.100 And on the same university, you have Peter Singer, a guy who says we should be able to abort a child until the day that they realize that there is a tomorrow.
00:05:50.980 So that could be a year, two years, three years down the road, and you'd be able to kill them.
00:05:56.600 He stands for everything that I'm against.
00:06:01.160 But they are both on campus.
00:06:04.400 And not only are they both on campus, they hold seminars together.
00:06:10.840 Where one says one thing, the other says the other.
00:06:15.840 And you, the student, get to decide.
00:06:19.280 You, the student, get to hear all points of view, the furthest of the extremes, all the way into the center.
00:06:29.020 That's what tenure is for.
00:06:31.000 Tenure is for the protection of somebody who scientifically says, look, I mean, correct me if I'm wrong here.
00:06:39.760 Look at my calculations.
00:06:41.080 But I don't think the sun revolves around the earth.
00:06:45.180 Because look at the calculations.
00:06:49.000 What happened?
00:06:50.720 He was chased.
00:06:53.120 He had to go live in a tower.
00:06:55.720 He had the right answer.
00:06:58.220 The church even knew it was right.
00:07:01.900 But it wasn't popular.
00:07:03.880 This is where tenure comes from.
00:07:05.940 Not to just to spout venom.
00:07:09.060 Not to just to say ridiculous things.
00:07:12.240 If you want to say, you know, Barbara Bush, a lot of people are sad.
00:07:17.180 But, you know, could I make the case that she was married to a warmonger and gave birth to a war criminal?
00:07:26.660 And here's why I say that.
00:07:29.820 Absolutely.
00:07:31.260 And that, to me, is what tenure is for in the academic setting.
00:07:34.900 Now, in the academic setting, if you're going to have that outrageous view, you should probably have the other side that says she is absolutely wrong and here's why.
00:07:50.260 I hope she is not fired for her tweets.
00:07:55.400 She has a right to say this.
00:07:57.960 I hope that the university will look at their own campus and what they're doing and either balance this crazy lady
00:08:10.700 and balance so other people can speak on their campus and feel protected and say the things that counter her,
00:08:21.000 but in an academic and scientific and philosophically sound way.
00:08:27.800 Now, if the university wants to fire her because she posted an emergency line and said that she this is my phone number and she clogged an emergency suicide line
00:08:46.700 and an emergency helpline, which you cannot do, that's against the law, that they should fire her for, that she should go to jail for.
00:08:58.700 But for her obscene opinion?
00:09:01.640 No, she unfortunately has a right to say it.
00:09:04.080 And I stand by her right to say it.
00:09:07.160 Because the only speech that needs protecting is the speech that we all find reprehensible.
00:09:15.100 And I agree with you.
00:09:16.180 She shouldn't be fired.
00:09:17.180 But that should tell you everything you need to know about that school.
00:09:20.240 Because even if they fire her, it's not as if this is the first thing she's ever.
00:09:24.360 She's been this person the entire time she's worked there.
00:09:27.380 And they know.
00:09:27.780 And they were not only excited enough to hire her, but to give her tenure.
00:09:32.240 Right?
00:09:32.500 So, this is not a quick judgment to us, in a way.
00:09:38.020 It is.
00:09:38.680 You could say, oh, well, we've never heard of this person before.
00:09:42.580 And here's a few crazy tweets.
00:09:43.360 And we'll never hear about this person again.
00:09:44.720 We'll never hear about this person again.
00:09:45.940 It could be our little daily outrage and we could be upset about it.
00:09:49.060 And that is something for us, we're judging on very limited information.
00:09:56.020 That information, they had plenty of it at Fresno State.
00:09:58.800 And they chose to hire her and make her, you know, a representative of their university.
00:10:04.660 And again, it's not the idea that someone could say that Barbara Bush and the Bush family
00:10:10.240 are bad people and bad actors in the United States is not something that a professor should
00:10:16.560 be fired for.
00:10:18.080 Because while I disagree, it's an absolute case, you can make that case academically and
00:10:25.960 I'll disagree with it and we'll have an interesting debate about it.
00:10:28.580 But she's not only acting like a 14-year-old, she's acting like a dumb 14-year-old.
00:10:33.900 Yeah.
00:10:34.460 They're not even good insults.
00:10:38.240 She's not.
00:10:39.200 She's.
00:10:40.440 Everything that you need to know is said here.
00:10:45.580 Sweetie, talking down to a woman.
00:10:48.540 Sweetie, I work as a tenured professor saying I'm better than everybody else.
00:10:54.360 I make $100,000 a year doing that.
00:10:57.940 An absolute elitist.
00:11:00.060 I mean, everything you need to know is she gets all of her value from being a professor
00:11:06.960 that is well-paid.
00:11:08.360 She doesn't know who she is.
00:11:11.100 She's a tenured professor who makes a lot of money.
00:11:14.500 That's it.
00:11:15.400 Right.
00:11:15.500 And it's like if you have, if you're a rich father and you have a son who is acting up
00:11:21.120 and you're, are they protected by you?
00:11:24.460 You know, maybe, right?
00:11:25.760 Like you might be like, look, they're my kid.
00:11:27.560 I'm going to do everything I can.
00:11:28.740 At some point, if they keep putting in everyone's faces and they say, you know what?
00:11:32.320 My dad runs this company.
00:11:33.900 I can do whatever I want.
00:11:35.100 I don't need to show up.
00:11:36.360 Screw you.
00:11:36.940 I'm going to take some cash out of the drawer.
00:11:38.340 Or at some point, daddy says, this is insane.
00:11:43.380 And because you're using me and my credibility to do, to complete your utter nonsense, I have
00:11:51.440 to take action.
00:11:52.180 And that's what Fresno State should be doing.
00:11:54.440 However, it's meaningless if they do it because.
00:11:57.700 Now it's just peer pressure.
00:11:58.960 It's not real.
00:11:59.600 Right.
00:11:59.820 It's now just social media pressure.
00:12:01.780 Unless it is coming from inside the university with the other professors who say, you know
00:12:06.440 what?
00:12:06.660 I don't even necessarily agree with her.
00:12:09.260 But how dare her hide behind her tenure and and draw me into this because that's what
00:12:15.920 she's done.
00:12:16.620 I feel perfect protected, meaning everybody agrees with me at this university.
00:12:22.280 So I'm fine.
00:12:24.140 I have to tell you, even if I agreed with her, I'd be a little pissed.
00:12:28.000 Don't drag me into your for, you know, fourth grade rant on Twitter.
00:12:33.900 I don't want to be associated with any of that.
00:12:36.460 And as you talked about the historical context of tenure, it's something that if you have
00:12:41.440 it and the people around you have it, it's something to be revered.
00:12:45.120 Right.
00:12:45.520 It's something with a real historical context.
00:12:49.160 Here's an idea.
00:12:49.880 It comes with great responsibility.
00:12:54.860 Let me tell you about our sponsor, the Seth Howard, Simply Safe, Simply Safe, just won
00:13:01.340 Editor's Choice Awards from CNET Magazine, PC Magazine and the Wirecutter.
00:13:06.100 These are really respected product testers in the tech world, and they put Simply Safe
00:13:11.360 through a battery of tests and they compared it to all other home security products.
00:13:15.340 Simply Safe won every single time.
00:13:17.500 Again, I've been telling you about Simply Safe for years now.
00:13:20.760 In my opinion, it is the best home security system hands down.
00:13:24.320 I know the founders.
00:13:25.200 I've worked with them since there were 10 employees.
00:13:28.500 They now have over 600 employees and protect over 2 million Americans.
00:13:34.520 This is a home security system that you want in your home.
00:13:37.840 The sensors are tiny.

00:14:32.440 Glenn Beck Mercury.
00:14:34.700 Glenn Beck.
00:14:41.700 Well, hello.
00:14:45.880 So glad that you are here today.
00:14:48.860 I have tenure, you know, so I'm going to let my associate producer speak for a while while
00:14:54.360 I write a book.
00:14:58.360 What do you think of that?
00:14:58.880 Do I have tenure, too, or?
00:15:01.060 No, not yet.
00:15:02.040 Okay, so I need to do a good show?
00:15:03.840 You need to do a good job.
00:15:05.180 Could you imagine if talk radio had tenured hosts where they couldn't fire us?
00:15:11.340 It didn't matter what was going on.
00:15:13.260 Can you imagine how, A, extreme any talk radio, progressive, conservative, doesn't matter,
00:15:21.660 how extreme it would get if you couldn't fire anybody for what they said?
00:15:27.260 I mean, the medium as a whole might get extreme.
00:15:29.880 You wouldn't change your viewpoint.
00:15:32.160 No, no, no.
00:15:32.440 That's what I mean.
00:15:32.960 The medium as a whole.
00:15:34.800 I can't say.
00:15:35.540 In two decades, if that, it would be crazy on both sides if you couldn't, if you could
00:15:45.280 never fire them or harm them, you would also have, and this I speak probably more towards
00:15:52.200 me, but you would also get extraordinarily lazy.
00:15:56.640 Oh, yeah.
00:15:57.640 Wow.
00:15:58.160 You'd be like, you know what?
00:15:59.560 I'm going to play a little bit from the Hannity show for the next 25 minutes.
00:16:03.300 You're just playing other hosts.
00:16:05.060 Yeah, this is an important clip.
00:16:06.860 It's about 25 minutes long, but just let it roll.
00:16:09.700 Just listen and take notes.
00:16:10.440 Let's gather afterwards.
00:16:12.300 Yeah.
00:16:12.540 And then afterwards, I would say, look, I'm working on something else, so I've got my
00:16:19.680 associate producer, Stu, and he's going to talk to you about that clip.
00:16:23.420 I mean, it would be, you would become, think of your job if they could not fire you.
00:16:32.120 And I think like for a while, there'd be a sense of personal pride that you'd want to
00:16:38.620 make sure you did a good job.
00:16:40.660 But that definition would change in your mind quickly, I think, the amount of effort you
00:16:46.720 needed to put in.
00:16:47.800 Jamestown comes to mind.
00:16:51.040 Because that was the deal.
00:16:52.120 Everybody got an equal share.
00:16:55.360 We're just going to pile all the food up.
00:16:57.200 We're going to put it in the company storehouse.
00:16:59.300 And when you need food, you go get food.
00:17:01.380 And everybody was like, oh, that's great.
00:17:02.740 And I'm going to build it.
00:17:03.420 I'm going to make a garden.
00:17:04.260 I'm going to make a garden.
00:17:05.060 And pretty soon, somebody, one person was like, I get the same amount of food, whether
00:17:09.720 I do it or not.
00:17:10.760 So I'm just, I'm not going to work so hard.
00:17:13.340 And their produce sucked.
00:17:15.840 They didn't have very much.
00:17:17.400 They bring their, you know, tomato over to the and get everybody else's food.
00:17:22.400 And eventually, it was only those people who were like, look, guys, we're all going to
00:17:27.300 starve to death if we don't.
00:17:29.100 Oh, geez, he's not doing his thing.
00:17:30.420 So I'm going to plow some more.
00:17:32.040 And very few people were actually doing it because everybody else had food tenure.
00:17:36.980 I do whatever I want.
00:17:38.160 And I still get the food.
00:17:39.560 This is the reason why everything that left wing professors believe doesn't work in real
00:17:47.100 life.
00:17:47.760 Right.
00:17:47.880 And if they had to actually compete, they would know it.
00:17:53.080 One of my favorite lines against socialism is from Ghostbusters.
00:17:58.080 No, we're going to have to go.
00:17:59.380 We're leaving the university.
00:18:01.060 Have you ever been in the private sector?
00:18:03.040 They expect results.
00:18:06.120 I love that.
00:18:07.580 It's true.
00:18:08.220 That whole movie, Ghostbusters, is a great.
00:18:11.760 It's amazing when you look back at it.
00:18:13.180 It's hard to believe that movie could be made today because you go back and you read
00:18:17.400 it, you watch it, and it's like a legitimate, it's like continual praise of capitalism.
00:18:23.920 It is.
00:18:24.660 It's.
00:18:25.480 Tears down the university and then it also tears down the, tears down the government, you
00:18:30.740 know, snot heads for not knowing what they're doing.
00:18:33.320 However, it also, you know, it does tear them down just a little bit as well.
00:18:39.980 It does.
00:18:40.580 Although, I mean, the enemy in Ghostbusters, yes, you talk about, oh, the scary ghosts.
00:18:46.160 Well, that's not really the enemy.
00:18:47.140 The enemy in Ghostbusters is the EPA.
00:18:49.380 It is.
00:18:50.240 It's essential.
00:18:50.900 And union workers.
00:18:52.160 Yes.
00:18:52.540 Yes, it is.
00:18:53.280 Because the union workers come in and then they talk about having to actually get results
00:18:59.520 in the private sector.
00:19:00.560 They have to actually work hard where at the university, they don't have to do anything
00:19:04.260 because they're protected.
00:19:05.980 Right.
00:19:06.320 I mean, it really is.
00:19:07.440 Those 80s movies, man, there's a lot of them in there.
00:19:09.940 Yeah.
00:19:10.120 And they threw down the Chinese food and they're like, well, that's the last of the nest egg.
00:19:14.060 Yeah.
00:19:14.420 And they knew we have to, we have to make this work now.
00:19:17.960 You know, I was, I was driving in, talking about things that couldn't be made again.
00:19:21.620 When's the last time you listened to Dire Straits and Money for Nothing?
00:19:24.920 I mean, it's been a, it's been a little while.
00:19:31.400 Don't know.
00:19:32.580 There's no way, no way this could be made today.
00:19:37.220 Now, remember, Money for Nothing is really an elitist song.
00:19:42.060 Really elitist.
00:19:42.720 Yeah.
00:19:42.960 When you think about it.
00:19:43.600 Mocking people who are working every day, you know, the blue collar worker who, you know,
00:19:48.280 or the guy who's working in the Best Buy and is, you know, just, he's watching these
00:19:53.280 TVs and he's like, well, I should have studied something else.
00:19:56.040 I should have studied.
00:19:57.080 Because what they're doing is easy and what I'm doing is hard and they're getting rewarded
00:20:00.760 for it.
00:20:01.160 So I would just like to go through a couple lines in there, even though they are mocking
00:20:10.640 the people saying this, I don't know how this song is even allowed to exist digitally
00:20:18.400 anymore.
00:20:19.200 Glenn Beck, Mercury.
00:20:31.160 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:20:33.260 We have something really special happening next week here at the Mercury Studios, Israel's
00:20:37.680 70th, and we are celebrating the miracle.
00:20:40.880 I'm going to be giving the keynote.
00:20:43.440 Tommy Waller is going to be there.
00:20:45.520 Rabbi Daniel Lappin is also going to be there.
00:20:47.840 It's a five-course meal.
00:20:49.100 This is a really, really special night.
00:20:51.580 We would love for you to attend.
00:20:53.400 You can find the information at glennbeck.com or you can grab your tickets at Hayoval.
00:20:59.300 It's H-A-Y-O-V-E-L dot com slash Israel 70.
00:21:05.020 But we hope to see you there next Thursday night to celebrate Israel's 70th anniversary.
00:21:11.820 Let me go to Daniel in California as we talk about free speech today and that Fresno University
00:21:20.040 professor who's saying crazy stuff, but she's tenured.
00:21:25.020 Go ahead, Daniel.
00:21:27.080 Oh, well, thank you for taking my call.
00:21:29.840 You bet.
00:21:30.120 You're a student at Fresno?
00:21:31.480 Yes, I'm a student at Fresno State, and yeah, I just want to say I'm deeply ashamed about
00:21:39.520 what that professor said.
00:21:40.680 I mean, there's no place for that.
00:21:42.540 I mean, even regardless of the forum, whether it's in the classroom or outside the classroom,
00:21:48.320 I think you should have a higher ground than that, personally.
00:21:53.480 So, Daniel, you've got to be a freak on campus, even just listening to this show,
00:21:59.300 even if you're just taking notes to bring it back to your comrades.
00:22:03.020 You have to be a freak on this.
00:22:06.260 How many people at Fresno look at her and say, come on, this is like, you know, a ten-year-old?
00:22:16.800 Yeah, everyone is outraged.
00:22:19.700 Even some of my friends on both sides of the fence, I mean, they are outraged that she
00:22:24.740 would say something like that.
00:22:27.060 I mean, I don't know if you're familiar with the Mars mouse check story, but this is just
00:22:33.560 another thing.
00:22:34.140 It's like a black-eye for Fresno.
00:22:35.600 We're not getting in the news for anything good.
00:22:38.220 We're getting in the news for these professors who are making jerks of themselves on social
00:22:43.360 media.
00:22:44.860 Daniel, thank you so much.
00:22:46.020 I appreciate it.
00:22:47.020 Long live free speech.
00:22:48.040 I think she has a right to say these things, you know, what the university chooses to do.
00:22:53.860 I hope they do not fire her because of her political ravings.
00:22:59.080 I hope they, if they choose to fire her, they would choose to fire her because she broke
00:23:02.980 the law, A, in one of the things that she did, but also because they should evaluate,
00:23:10.020 is this the kind of, is this the kind of intellectual dialogue that our professors should be having?
00:23:17.480 But free speech is what it's all about.
00:23:19.560 This morning I got up and I was listening to Dire Straits.
00:23:23.760 What is it?
00:23:24.340 I want my MTV.
00:23:25.320 What is that song?
00:23:25.840 Money for Nothing.
00:23:26.260 Money for Nothing.
00:23:26.540 And I got about, I don't know, 45 seconds into it and I'm like, wait a minute, I don't remember
00:23:32.300 this.
00:23:35.240 The line is, and I'm not going to say all of it because of freaks that will take it out
00:23:41.740 of context and, you know, because context doesn't matter.
00:23:44.960 Media matters.
00:23:47.020 But it says, we've got to move these refrigerators, got to move these color TVs to the little,
00:23:54.520 how would you say, what would you, how would you, the, the, the word here is no, the, the,
00:24:01.740 the other F word.
00:24:03.080 Now, when I used to say F word, we all knew what it meant, but now it's, there's several
00:24:07.140 F words.
00:24:07.780 Yeah.
00:24:07.980 We can only say about three words that start with that.
00:24:09.860 So, you know, the homosexual to the little F word with the earring and the makeup.
00:24:15.360 Yeah, buddy, that's your own hair to the little, uh, F word got his own jet airplane.
00:24:20.960 That little F word is a millionaire.
00:24:24.600 You couldn't make that today.
00:24:27.280 Wait, even though that song is in context, this song is mocking the working class guy,
00:24:34.720 right?
00:24:35.040 It's saying the working class guy would say things like this.
00:24:38.040 Correct.
00:24:38.400 He'd say that we don't have any talent as musicians and we're not really working.
00:24:42.180 And they'll say, I mean, I'm sure even at the time it was meant as, uh, mocking them
00:24:46.960 as saying a slur, right?
00:24:48.280 Like they're saying these guys would say these terrible things.
00:24:51.960 Okay.
00:24:52.200 So for the me too, try this one, try this one on.
00:24:55.520 I should have learned to play the guitar.
00:24:57.140 I should have learned to play them drums.
00:24:58.500 Look at that mama.
00:24:59.720 She's got it sticking in the camera and we can have some.
00:25:03.580 Hashtag me too.
00:25:06.580 Okay.
00:25:07.060 Uh, listen here.
00:25:08.620 That ain't working.
00:25:10.100 Uh, you just get your chicks for free, blah, blah, blah.
00:25:13.900 Um, and what's that up here?
00:25:17.060 What's that Hawaiian noises?
00:25:19.460 He's banging on the bongos like a chimpanzee.
00:25:24.880 Jeez.
00:25:25.800 In context, mocking.
00:25:28.200 Today, you'd run them out of Fresno.
00:25:35.440 If they were ever invited, they wouldn't be, but if they were ever invited to do a concert
00:25:38.820 at Fresno, they could not do that song.
00:25:41.960 Even though they're mocking people who talk like that.
00:25:45.540 Yeah.
00:25:45.940 You really, you would not be able to do that.
00:25:48.100 You, um, there are a bunch of people saying that there is a sanitized version that they're
00:25:52.720 apparently play without that word in it.
00:25:55.020 Yeah, but that was because the chimpanzee part is probably still in there.
00:25:57.880 And that was because of, uh, I guarantee you that was just because of, uh, radio play.
00:26:03.320 They didn't want to say that, but it was on all the albums.
00:26:07.540 Yeah, I guess.
00:26:08.580 Well, at the time, I think they played it on the air.
00:26:11.600 AOR stations, album rock stations did the purists, the progressive stations played it
00:26:18.200 that way.
00:26:18.980 The sanitized commercial station.
00:26:21.320 I, I know I played it a million times.
00:26:23.220 Sure.
00:26:23.340 The, the progressive rock stations.
00:26:26.740 That was their name.
00:26:28.280 AOR progressive rock.
00:26:30.620 Yeah.
00:26:31.140 They played it as is because they were open-minded.
00:26:34.680 They had tenure.
00:26:35.580 That's art.
00:26:36.340 You don't, you don't edit art.
00:26:37.920 Correct.
00:26:38.360 The commercial station said, well, that's not cool.
00:26:41.740 We shouldn't use that.
00:26:42.620 So what was the substitute word?
00:26:44.560 I don't remember.
00:26:45.780 I don't remember.
00:26:46.720 Oh, someone's got to know that.
00:26:47.780 Yeah.
00:26:47.920 I mean, it has to be out there.
00:26:49.320 I'm sure.
00:26:49.740 Yeah, I'm sure we could dig it up during the break.
00:26:51.160 Let's look for a, look it up now.
00:26:52.680 Radio version.
00:26:53.440 Just look for radio edit.
00:26:55.140 Put a money for nothing radio edit and it'll be there.
00:26:58.460 Try this.
00:26:59.360 Another song.
00:27:00.800 You remember that stupid song, rock the Casbah?
00:27:04.400 Rock the Casbah.
00:27:05.960 Oh yeah.
00:27:06.700 And of course the important work derivative of that Will Smith's Will 2K from the album
00:27:14.980 Willennium because you just, you know, when you make a song that just references a big
00:27:21.580 changeover to a round numbered year that everyone's going to remember it for a long time.
00:27:26.360 And look at us.
00:27:26.800 We're discussing it now.
00:27:27.620 Well, you are, but I'm not really even sure why, but so what was that song about?
00:27:34.480 If this song wasn't way ahead of its time.
00:27:38.020 Now the, the King told the boogeyman, you have to let that rag a drop the oil down.
00:27:45.720 The desert way has been shaken to the top.
00:27:47.960 The sheet drove his Cadillac.
00:27:49.440 He went cruising down in the, uh, uh, the Ville, uh, muslin, uh, the muslin was a standing
00:27:56.400 on the radiator grill, um, by order of the profit, Muhammad by order of the profit, we
00:28:05.060 banned the boogie sound degenerate, the faithful with a crazy casbah sound.
00:28:11.960 So they're saying no rock.
00:28:13.660 You were banning the, by order of the profit, the King is banning rock and roll music, but
00:28:21.080 the better one that the, the travelers, the desert people, they, uh, got the drum and the
00:28:26.920 guitar and, and everybody began to wail, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:28:30.040 Now over at the temple.
00:28:31.900 Oh, they really pack them in.
00:28:33.920 Think of this today.
00:28:35.060 Oh, they really pack them in.
00:28:37.040 The in crowd says it's cool, meaning the music to dig this charting thing.
00:28:42.520 But as the wind changed direction and the temple band took five, the crowd caught a whiff of
00:28:49.640 that crazy casbah jive.
00:28:51.760 Uh, the King called up his jet fighters.
00:28:54.320 He said, you better earn your pay, drop your bombs between the minarets down the casbah way.
00:29:01.500 So kill all of the people who are in this rock and roll culture.
00:29:07.400 It's interesting because you could even make that song today, right?
00:29:11.300 Because in that era, people, the artist would push back against this, this culture that was
00:29:21.320 destroying people and was limiting them.
00:29:24.360 What to wear, what to say, what to think.
00:29:27.120 Now, the culture will protect that at any cost, which is such a strange statement.
00:29:32.720 They're in with the people who are, are the, by order of the prophets, shut them all down, drop the bombs between the minarets.
00:29:42.200 This goes to the point that we've made many times.
00:29:44.360 And when, when you talk about rights for women, when you talk about rights for gays, who's violating those rights?
00:29:53.400 It's, you know, the United States, do we have problems with certain things?
00:29:56.980 Of course.
00:29:57.760 But I mean, it's nothing like these regimes that are constantly defended by progressives.
00:30:02.480 Our problems revolve around misunderstandings like Mark Knopfler.
00:30:07.120 And that would be an outrage.
00:30:09.320 If that song came out today, people would, that would be their outrage for the day.
00:30:14.140 They would get their fix, addicted to outrage.
00:30:16.560 They'd be like, oh, this is, I can't believe that Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits would do something like that.
00:30:21.760 And Mark would be on TV going, no, guys, it is mocking the people who say that.
00:30:27.320 They ban him, ban him, make sure you boycott all of their concerts.
00:30:32.260 That's what would happen today.
00:30:33.900 When they're throwing homosexuals off buildings in the Middle East, um, something's wrong with this picture.
00:30:42.120 I mean, I'd like to, I'd like to have Sesame Street updated to where one of these things just doesn't belong.
00:30:50.820 Statues in the town square that are oppressing you.
00:30:53.780 Things like, you know, uh, Mark Knopfler's, you know, Dire Straits, money for nothing.
00:31:01.600 And flogging homosexuals in the town square and then hanging them.
00:31:08.100 One of these things just doesn't belong.
00:31:10.560 I think it would be a really good change to society, to discourse, if we all just stepped back and said things of previous eras had different standards.
00:31:22.840 And we all understand that.
00:31:24.520 This is, you know, Bill Maher said this just the other day.
00:31:27.500 Yeah, do we have, we actually, I think we have that audio.
00:31:29.140 A recent article by Molly Ringwald got a lot of attention because she revisited The Breakfast Club and her other 80s movies and found them troubling in the age of Me Too.
00:31:40.420 She said she was taken aback by the scope of the ugliness.
00:31:44.140 Oh, please, they were teen comedies, not snuff films.
00:31:47.040 You can't blame someone for not being woke 30 years before woke was a thing.
00:31:51.840 20 years ago, the jokes on Friends were just funny.
00:31:56.300 Now, some millennials, some, I applaud the sane ones, but some find the jokes sexist, transphobic, and fat-shaming.
00:32:07.160 Okay, but if you spend your time combing through old TV shows to identify stuff that by today's standards looks bad, you're not woke, you're just a douchebag.
00:32:16.460 We're never finished evolving.
00:32:18.100 I hate to break it to you, but no matter how woke you think you are, you are tolerating things right now that will make you cringe in 25 years.
00:32:28.020 Amen.
00:32:29.140 Yeah, interesting.
00:32:30.220 He says that, too, because Molly Ringwald in Sixteen Candles apparently said that same word that Dire Straits said many times.
00:32:38.120 And, you know, look.
00:32:39.700 Boycott Molly Ringwald.
00:32:41.740 She's boycotting herself.
00:32:43.260 That's what's sad.
00:32:44.060 Yeah, there's nothing we can boycott.
00:32:45.760 You know, there's nothing, it's like, okay, well, I don't even know where she lives or what she does for a living, and she's probably just a mom.
00:32:53.460 Let's take her children away from her.
00:32:55.640 By the way, on the Dire Straits answer, one edit replaces the slur with the word mother.
00:33:00.780 That little mother has his own jet airplane.
00:33:03.260 That little mother is a millionaire.
00:33:05.540 Just not really the same.
00:33:07.320 And then many stations have aired a version that cuts the verse entirely.
00:33:13.200 Yeah, but it wasn't the progressive rock stations.
00:33:16.260 I can tell you that right now.
00:33:17.940 All right, every business needs great people and a better way to find them.
00:33:21.840 Something better than posting your job online and just praying for the right person to see it.

00:34:16.960 Glenn Beck Mercury.
00:34:26.180 Glenn Beck.
00:34:30.060 Let's go to Michelle quickly in Pennsylvania.
00:34:33.100 Hello, Michelle.
00:34:33.640 Yes, hi, Mr. Beck.
00:34:36.580 A quick comment on the Fresno professor that's tenured.
00:34:40.640 My comment is, while I do agree with you, I don't think she should be fired for her comments outside of the phone number.
00:34:48.280 But what bothered me more is she has comments about white, other English lit professors that are inherently racist.
00:34:55.640 And concerning what went on with Starbucks lately, with the two gentlemen escorted out that were black and they're closing stores for sensitivity training.
00:35:05.040 I think that's disturbing that, you know, that the racism card is being played by her.
00:35:12.920 And is she teaching that in her classroom?
00:35:15.020 Yes, I'm sure.
00:35:15.920 I'm sure she's teaching that in her class.
00:35:18.580 You know, in what was it, USC, they now have they've just put up a a mosaic that says fight whiteness.
00:35:29.060 So, I mean, you know, this is going through the the culture and, you know, that's just as racist as saying fight, you know, black lives matter.
00:35:41.880 And not even that, because that's that that's an organization fight blackness.
00:35:46.120 But it's apparently OK.
00:35:48.960 And the Starbucks thing, we'll get to that next hour.
00:35:51.360 That is that's taking a crazy turn, a crazy turn.
00:35:55.720 Yeah, it's unbelievable.
00:35:56.900 People are tweeting things at World of Stew, different songs that you can look back on now.
00:36:02.160 And you can't believe we're actually made.
00:36:04.000 I think the winner has to be a new Mr.
00:36:08.340 Anti-Trump himself, Eminem, going back to a song Criminal from the year 2000, not 1980.
00:36:15.260 1980, 1960, 2000, 90 percent of it, I can't even say.
00:36:20.360 But listen to some of this.
00:36:22.320 Well, for the slur against gays that begins with F, I'll use gay.
00:36:26.740 Whether you're gay or les or the homosex, her math or transvest, pants or dress, hate gays?
00:36:35.300 Question mark.
00:36:36.000 The answer is yes.
00:36:37.720 Oh, my gosh.
00:36:38.900 Homophobic?
00:36:39.520 No, you're just heterophobic.
00:36:41.100 Staring at my jeans.
00:36:42.820 There's all sorts of stuff in here.
00:36:44.160 But it gets to, you know, he's talking about Versace.
00:36:52.180 But see, he's an artist.
00:36:54.720 Right.
00:36:55.220 But it's the same thing as Dire Straits, right?
00:36:56.920 Like, I'm sure he would argue now.
00:36:58.640 Well, what I was saying, I was just, I was in a character.
00:37:02.400 You know, that's what Dire Straits would say.
00:37:04.260 But it's so extensive and so violent.
00:37:07.860 There's no way he should have been able to get away with this.
00:37:11.140 Only because, I guess, you find the right side of the aisle, man.
00:37:14.600 You find the right side of the aisle.
00:37:15.740 As long as your side has tenure, you're absolutely fine.
00:37:19.240 There's so much that is important, and I don't think that anybody is really covering it.
00:37:44.860 But we're about to show you a poll of what people think the most important things are that are facing our nation right now.
00:37:52.820 I don't see any of it on television.
00:37:55.620 I don't see it reflected in the media at all.
00:37:58.300 And there is a real crisis of culture right now.
00:38:04.240 Real crisis.
00:38:05.080 We have to decide certain things.
00:38:07.380 Does life matter?
00:38:10.060 Black lives matter?
00:38:11.000 Yeah.
00:38:11.660 All life matters.
00:38:14.840 But we're so busy dividing ourselves right now, we can't even get to it.
00:38:21.040 Because you say something like Planned Parenthood, and all of a sudden, it's divisive.
00:38:25.600 But in this case, so be it.
00:38:31.000 Planned Parenthood is continuing to drive on their never-ending promotion of death for as many unborn children as possible.
00:38:41.140 I'm not sure why Parenthood is in their name, other than it was a scheme by Margaret Sanger to dupe people.
00:38:50.560 Planned Parenthood is in the efficient business of killing 321,384 unborn babies last year.
00:39:01.720 That's more than the number of American soldiers killed in World War I, Korea, and Vietnam combined last year.
00:39:10.540 It's a holocaust that is going on.
00:39:14.580 Now, Planned Parenthood says that they provide some other female health services that they always tout.
00:39:19.340 But according to its own annual report, there is an across-the-board drop in the number of women using those services.
00:39:25.560 Yet those services are the reason they continue to justify federal funding.
00:39:29.140 So with the declining number of women using Planned Parenthood's health services, the organization has to up its game in recruiting abortions.
00:39:38.620 Because those procedures are what, that's their bread and butter.
00:39:42.700 So their latest tactic now is a virtual reality short film called Across the Line.
00:39:48.720 It follows a fictional young woman making her way into an abortion clinic.
00:39:52.920 And the young woman's character has to endure cruel protesters who hurl insults and confront her about her choice.
00:40:01.040 According to Planned Parenthood's executive vice president, the purpose of the virtual reality film,
00:40:06.820 and I remember that, virtual reality film,
00:40:09.560 is to build empathy for young women making the brave choice to kill their child.
00:40:15.040 Many women do face a serious plight with their pregnancies.
00:40:20.520 There are complicated circumstances.
00:40:22.640 There's abuse. There's absentee fathers.
00:40:25.220 Women feel abandoned and hopeless.
00:40:28.080 I get that.
00:40:30.120 But Planned Parenthood using VR technology to convince women that killing their baby is the best solution to their situation is wrong,
00:40:37.160 and it's a lie.
00:40:38.480 There is a better alternative.
00:40:40.420 And Planned Parenthood knows it.
00:40:41.780 But it would rather use virtual reality to advance its abortion campaign.
00:40:46.440 Now, I want you to know,
00:40:48.480 the reason why I'm telling you this
00:40:51.140 is because they know the power of pictures.
00:40:56.060 They also know that ultrasound creates a very different kind of empathy in the mother.
00:41:02.680 When the mother sees her movement of her child on the screen,
00:41:09.140 when a mother hears the baby's heartbeat,
00:41:12.680 those mothers are much more likely to choose life.
00:41:17.440 That's why Planned Parenthood has said,
00:41:19.760 absolutely, we don't have to do ultrasounds.
00:41:23.540 Their empathy efforts will continue to use the technology that only helps them fulfill their abortion quotas.
00:41:30.940 Ultimately, most of the talk about empathy in abortion debate is totally misplaced,
00:41:37.100 especially when it comes from Planned Parenthood.
00:41:39.680 Their narrative only focuses on empathy for the mother struggling with whether or not to kill her unborn child.
00:41:47.000 We must have empathy for the mothers.
00:41:49.320 We must have empathy.
00:41:51.120 We should not be yelling at these women while they're going in.
00:41:56.680 Who is going to run into an arm of anyone who is calling you a murderer?
00:42:05.380 But at the same time,
00:42:07.060 we need to have empathy for the equally valuable and defenseless life in that mother's womb.
00:42:13.560 You know, when you see things,
00:42:27.020 they become real.
00:42:28.520 And then you're faced with a choice.
00:42:31.260 Do I do something or not?
00:42:35.800 Silence in the face of evil
00:42:37.480 is evil itself.
00:42:39.160 This is Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
00:42:40.360 Not to stand is to stand.
00:42:44.300 Not to speak is to speak.
00:42:46.520 And that's absolutely true.
00:42:48.800 And God will not hold us guiltless.
00:42:51.660 You know, you could say years ago that I didn't know,
00:42:55.000 you know, during the Ottoman Empire,
00:42:57.380 when they were liquidating all of the Christians,
00:42:59.760 you know,
00:43:02.160 the Turkish genocide,
00:43:04.920 the Armenian genocide,
00:43:06.140 is something I didn't even know about
00:43:09.260 until, what, 10, 15 years ago.
00:43:12.260 While it was happening,
00:43:13.540 most of the world didn't know.
00:43:15.420 We know now what is happening.
00:43:17.880 We know.
00:43:21.200 So what do we do about it?
00:43:22.760 Well, the first thing we have to do
00:43:23.900 is tell all of our friends.
00:43:26.100 And there is a genocide going on.
00:43:27.900 It's the Iraqi and Syrian
00:43:30.720 and Middle Eastern Christians
00:43:32.360 and Yazidis
00:43:33.020 and even some Muslims
00:43:34.680 that aren't Muslim enough.
00:43:35.940 They are liquidating
00:43:37.640 all of these people.
00:43:39.860 And the drive first,
00:43:41.620 because, you know,
00:43:42.720 remember, first they came
00:43:43.660 for the trade unionist.
00:43:45.260 The drive first
00:43:46.100 is to come for the Christians.
00:43:48.340 And the Nazarene Fund
00:43:49.520 has done everything they can
00:43:51.380 to help support
00:43:53.540 people in the Middle East,
00:43:55.740 get them out,
00:43:57.040 support other agencies,
00:43:58.340 do whatever we can.
00:44:00.360 But The Blaze last night
00:44:02.080 ran a special movie
00:44:05.900 called Faith Keepers.
00:44:07.680 And it is really hopeful.
00:44:10.980 It is a way for you
00:44:11.720 to really see what's going on
00:44:13.760 without being depressed about it.
00:44:16.840 And I have to tell you,
00:44:18.240 when I saw it a few weeks ago,
00:44:20.520 for the first time,
00:44:21.400 we were deciding
00:44:21.960 whether or not
00:44:22.340 we were going to carry it.
00:44:23.160 The answer was so easy
00:44:24.400 because in the first 15 minutes,
00:44:26.540 I was thinking to myself,
00:44:27.680 I want my kids to see this.
00:44:29.560 My kids have to see this
00:44:30.640 because you will see Christians
00:44:32.960 that quite honestly
00:44:33.920 are going to make you feel
00:44:34.740 a little shamed of yourself.
00:44:37.040 And it will show your children,
00:44:38.980 it will teach your children
00:44:40.200 what it means,
00:44:41.960 what it really means
00:44:43.080 to have faith in God.
00:44:45.200 We have Richard Green joining us.
00:44:47.340 He's the executive producer
00:44:48.200 of the movie Faith Keepers.
00:44:49.980 Also, Juliana,
00:44:52.060 Juliana, I don't want to butcher
00:44:53.260 your last name
00:44:53.920 and I am king of butchery.
00:44:55.300 So, how do you pronounce
00:44:57.120 your last name?
00:44:58.680 It's Timurazi.
00:44:59.820 Timurazi.
00:45:00.420 That seems a lot easier
00:45:01.600 than it's spelled.
00:45:03.140 President and founder
00:45:04.180 of Iraqi Christian Relief Council.
00:45:07.100 Can you guys tell me
00:45:07.820 what's going on
00:45:08.720 on the ground right now?
00:45:10.760 Better, worse,
00:45:11.760 or about the same?
00:45:14.220 If I may say
00:45:16.140 that it's an honor
00:45:16.980 to be with you, Glenn.
00:45:18.180 The situation,
00:45:19.880 I just came back
00:45:20.560 from Iraq a week ago.
00:45:22.200 I spent about 10 days there
00:45:23.420 for the second time this year.
00:45:25.380 The situation is,
00:45:26.980 to be honest with you,
00:45:28.580 it's a double-edged sword.
00:45:29.880 And I say that
00:45:30.540 because there's so much hope
00:45:32.040 in people's hearts
00:45:33.260 that are moving back
00:45:34.400 to this area called
00:45:35.740 the Nineveh Plain,
00:45:37.060 which lays on the outskirts
00:45:38.620 of Mosul,
00:45:39.640 where a majority
00:45:40.160 of the Christians
00:45:40.780 were pushed out
00:45:41.500 by the Islamic State
00:45:42.400 of Iraq and Syria.
00:45:43.760 At the same time,
00:45:44.860 they're fearful
00:45:45.520 because there's not
00:45:47.180 much security.
00:45:48.760 They want to have
00:45:50.040 their own sons and daughters
00:45:51.560 protecting themselves.
00:45:53.600 And so security
00:45:54.620 is first and foremost,
00:45:55.760 and economy
00:45:56.320 is second on their minds.
00:45:58.580 And as I say this,
00:46:01.080 I was joyful
00:46:02.220 to see people
00:46:03.400 really returning
00:46:04.260 to their lands
00:46:05.240 but wanting security.
00:46:06.580 But you have
00:46:09.100 a lot of Christians
00:46:10.180 at the beginning
00:46:10.800 when ISIS came in
00:46:11.680 running to some
00:46:13.940 of the Iranian fighters
00:46:15.700 for protection.
00:46:17.020 And that's not going to last.
00:46:18.380 I mean,
00:46:18.640 with Iran sweeping in
00:46:20.520 through to Syria,
00:46:24.240 they don't,
00:46:24.840 I mean,
00:46:25.460 do you see a lasting
00:46:26.940 safe zone
00:46:29.520 for these people?
00:46:30.300 So the Iranian influence
00:46:33.360 in Iraq
00:46:33.880 is of utmost concern
00:46:35.560 for the Iraqi Christians
00:46:37.120 because they,
00:46:38.740 there is the city
00:46:39.440 called Bartela
00:46:40.240 in the Nineveh Plain
00:46:41.240 where there is
00:46:42.320 an Islamic Republic
00:46:43.400 of Iran school
00:46:44.340 that is established there.
00:46:46.140 And the Christians
00:46:46.780 in Iraq
00:46:47.320 and the Nineveh Plain
00:46:48.360 are asking the U.S.
00:46:49.860 to fortify them,
00:46:51.300 to support them,
00:46:52.120 to become more strong,
00:46:53.300 to push out
00:46:54.380 this Iranian influence.
00:46:56.240 So the only way,
00:46:57.600 Glenn,
00:46:57.980 that the Christians
00:46:58.840 in Iraq
00:46:59.240 can survive
00:47:00.000 is through
00:47:00.800 a province
00:47:01.600 of their own,
00:47:02.580 which is called
00:47:03.280 the Nineveh Plain.
00:47:04.240 This is not something
00:47:05.160 that the U.S.
00:47:05.780 has started.
00:47:06.440 This is not something
00:47:07.260 that we in the diaspora
00:47:08.780 are asking for only.
00:47:10.480 It was sanctioned
00:47:11.440 by the Iraqi government
00:47:12.460 through the Constitution
00:47:13.560 and also through
00:47:15.000 the Council of Ministers
00:47:16.120 right before ISIS attacked
00:47:18.100 in January of 2014.
00:47:20.520 The Council of Ministers
00:47:21.460 in Baghdad said
00:47:22.460 Christians of Iraq
00:47:23.660 deserve their own province,
00:47:24.980 their own land,
00:47:25.740 called the Nineveh Plain.
00:47:27.220 And that's the only way
00:47:28.680 you will see Christianity
00:47:29.960 really remain
00:47:31.000 and remain strong
00:47:32.160 in Iraq.
00:47:32.920 We're talking about
00:47:33.660 the documentary
00:47:35.000 Faith Keepers.
00:47:36.380 It premiered
00:47:37.920 last night
00:47:38.300 on The Blaze.
00:47:38.940 It's available
00:47:39.560 on demand now
00:47:40.680 if you're a subscriber
00:47:42.120 to The Blaze.
00:47:43.280 It's coming from
00:47:44.140 the Clarion Project
00:47:45.220 and Richard Green
00:47:47.340 is the executive producer.
00:47:50.440 Richard,
00:47:51.540 trying to tell
00:47:53.440 this story
00:47:54.000 and getting people
00:47:55.360 to watch it
00:47:56.040 is almost impossible
00:47:57.940 and you have done
00:47:59.520 a remarkable job.
00:48:00.560 It has so much
00:48:01.460 hope in it.
00:48:03.580 What did you find
00:48:04.780 personally during this?
00:48:08.000 Oh, Glenn,
00:48:08.920 one of the incredible
00:48:13.200 quotes
00:48:14.160 that a young man says
00:48:16.080 at the end of the film
00:48:17.440 is that a one man,
00:48:19.960 a person with one hand
00:48:22.700 cannot clap.
00:48:23.660 And this is something
00:48:25.140 you touched on
00:48:25.700 on your show yesterday.
00:48:27.700 They are so hopeful
00:48:29.220 of their future.
00:48:31.820 They so want
00:48:33.020 the world
00:48:34.680 to know their plight.
00:48:35.920 And that made me shudder
00:48:38.520 because I think myself
00:48:40.820 being in that situation,
00:48:41.960 I would run away
00:48:44.060 and I would forget
00:48:45.500 where I was from probably.
00:48:47.780 However,
00:48:48.040 these people were so strong.
00:48:49.840 They are so strong.
00:48:51.260 And as was just said,
00:48:54.380 all they want to do
00:48:55.740 is be back
00:48:56.840 in their home country
00:48:58.080 in a peaceful existence.
00:49:01.100 That's something
00:49:01.820 that I find
00:49:02.400 absolutely remarkable.
00:49:03.660 You guys have done
00:49:04.560 a remarkable job.
00:49:05.580 You were the inspiration
00:49:06.920 for a show
00:49:08.400 that we did
00:49:09.200 on CNN Headline News
00:49:11.260 in 2006.
00:49:13.100 And we were the first ones
00:49:14.380 on national television
00:49:15.880 to show
00:49:16.680 what was really going on
00:49:18.800 in their own words.
00:49:20.140 And you did
00:49:22.640 an inspiring film
00:49:23.880 called Obsession.
00:49:26.240 In Faith Keepers,
00:49:27.560 you talk about
00:49:28.400 the Muslim Brotherhood
00:49:29.480 and the role
00:49:30.140 that they are playing
00:49:30.940 to spread this.
00:49:32.280 Is it getting better
00:49:35.280 or is it worse?
00:49:37.960 Is anybody paying attention
00:49:39.120 to this, Richard?
00:49:41.800 Are you talking about
00:49:42.620 the Muslim Brotherhood
00:49:43.520 in America
00:49:44.220 or geopolitically?
00:49:46.240 Geopolitically.
00:49:46.880 The spread of radical Islam.
00:49:48.160 Listen, the spread
00:49:49.720 of radical Islam
00:49:50.340 is perhaps
00:49:51.600 the greatest threat
00:49:53.040 to our civilization, Glenn.
00:49:56.420 We have in Europe
00:49:57.320 a shrinking demographic
00:49:58.820 of people
00:50:02.360 who were born there.
00:50:03.660 And you have
00:50:04.200 this incredibly high
00:50:04.940 demographic
00:50:05.540 replacement rate
00:50:06.740 for the immigrant population,
00:50:08.840 which in itself
00:50:09.300 is not a bad thing,
00:50:10.120 but that same
00:50:10.500 immigrant population
00:50:11.380 has become
00:50:12.220 more and more radicalized.
00:50:13.220 At the same time,
00:50:14.560 you have
00:50:15.300 a geopolitical situation
00:50:17.680 where there have been
00:50:18.840 great strides made
00:50:19.800 in the last year or so,
00:50:21.740 but there's a lot
00:50:22.720 of real concern
00:50:23.720 out there.
00:50:24.380 I would,
00:50:25.580 if I was to paint
00:50:26.600 a more positive picture,
00:50:29.380 you know,
00:50:30.100 just five years ago,
00:50:31.620 Egypt was controlled
00:50:33.640 by the Muslim Brotherhood.
00:50:35.260 And today,
00:50:36.100 they have El-Sisi
00:50:36.940 as a president
00:50:37.640 who is very
00:50:38.960 anti-Muslim Brotherhood.
00:50:40.040 Now, coming stateside,
00:50:41.800 the Muslim Brotherhood
00:50:42.340 is a tremendous concern.
00:50:43.620 They do something
00:50:44.340 called a,
00:50:44.840 what we'll call
00:50:45.380 a silent jihad
00:50:46.380 in which they get
00:50:47.040 political,
00:50:49.040 they use our own
00:50:51.220 freedoms against us
00:50:54.080 in order for them
00:50:55.940 then to turn them
00:50:56.800 around against us
00:50:57.980 and call us Islamophobes.
00:51:00.580 Anyone who speaks
00:51:01.240 about this issue
00:51:01.940 is shut up
00:51:03.080 because we're not
00:51:03.980 politically correct.
00:51:05.280 There can be no,
00:51:06.480 no larger
00:51:07.980 misconstruing of truth
00:51:11.840 than that.
00:51:12.340 So,
00:51:13.060 in general,
00:51:13.800 the issue
00:51:14.140 is not positive,
00:51:16.880 but there are
00:51:17.480 some upward trends.
00:51:19.440 So,
00:51:19.580 Juliana,
00:51:20.060 you are a refugee
00:51:21.100 from Iran,
00:51:22.600 are you not?
00:51:24.000 Yes,
00:51:24.340 I am,
00:51:24.660 yes.
00:51:25.120 So,
00:51:25.620 you escaped,
00:51:26.680 you saw
00:51:27.320 oppression firsthand.
00:51:29.540 And in the movie
00:51:30.540 Faith Keepers,
00:51:31.500 I mean,
00:51:32.000 you show the Christians
00:51:33.440 that have fled here
00:51:34.760 just recently
00:51:35.540 and the harrowing stories
00:51:37.160 that they tell
00:51:37.740 of trying to get out.
00:51:39.400 tell me why
00:51:43.820 women in particular
00:51:45.840 in the West
00:51:46.760 are not standing
00:51:48.660 against these
00:51:50.180 oppressive regimes.
00:51:51.780 Do you have
00:51:52.420 any idea?
00:51:53.280 I believe it's part,
00:51:56.840 as Richard was saying,
00:51:58.360 it's part
00:51:59.200 of the Islamophobia.
00:52:00.900 That is a very
00:52:01.960 good question
00:52:02.760 that I've asked myself.
00:52:03.880 Where are the
00:52:04.840 children advocates,
00:52:05.820 where are the
00:52:06.220 women organizations
00:52:07.120 defending or
00:52:08.860 standing up for
00:52:09.540 these women
00:52:09.920 that are oppressed
00:52:10.660 and that are being
00:52:11.540 sold in sex slavery?
00:52:13.160 And I believe
00:52:14.080 it truly is
00:52:15.360 the Islamophobia
00:52:16.260 that they're afraid
00:52:16.920 of being labeled as.
00:52:18.580 And the media
00:52:19.380 does not talk about it
00:52:20.380 for the same reason.
00:52:22.080 And yes,
00:52:22.600 I did escape.
00:52:23.380 I escaped as a young woman.
00:52:24.940 I was 16
00:52:25.760 when I escaped Iran.
00:52:26.780 I was smuggled out.
00:52:28.100 Once sent to Switzerland,
00:52:29.660 stayed in hiding
00:52:30.260 in Switzerland
00:52:30.760 and then escaped
00:52:31.580 into Germany.
00:52:32.900 And I became a refugee
00:52:34.140 and came to the States.
00:52:36.440 And the women,
00:52:38.240 what they go through,
00:52:39.620 what they go through
00:52:40.520 to hold on
00:52:41.500 to their families,
00:52:42.200 to hold on
00:52:42.860 to their faith
00:52:43.500 in Iraq.
00:52:44.600 One thing that I'd like
00:52:45.540 to say,
00:52:46.180 the Christians of Iraq,
00:52:47.160 especially the women,
00:52:48.340 we should not look
00:52:49.320 at them as victims.
00:52:50.740 They're resilient
00:52:51.480 individuals
00:52:52.300 that are keeping
00:52:53.440 the families together.
00:52:54.980 And whomever
00:52:55.980 is listening to this
00:52:57.160 who are a part
00:52:57.900 of women advocacy groups
00:52:59.260 in Europe
00:52:59.920 and in America,
00:53:01.140 we have to empower
00:53:02.620 these women.
00:53:03.420 When I was in Iraq
00:53:04.620 last week,
00:53:05.440 I met with some
00:53:06.280 of these young women
00:53:07.060 and they were pleading
00:53:07.980 with me
00:53:08.460 to be the voice
00:53:10.060 out in the West
00:53:11.000 to bring
00:53:12.180 more women
00:53:13.380 empowerment programs
00:53:15.040 to Iraq
00:53:15.860 because we believe
00:53:16.800 that it is a woman
00:53:18.000 that really holds
00:53:19.060 the families together,
00:53:20.140 the faith together
00:53:20.880 and moving it forward.
00:53:22.480 Julianna,
00:53:23.140 Richard,
00:53:23.520 thank you so much.
00:53:24.520 I want you to watch
00:53:25.500 Faith Keepers.
00:53:26.580 If you're a subscriber
00:53:27.620 to The Blaze,
00:53:28.220 it's on demand right now.
00:53:29.460 It's an hour
00:53:30.520 really well spent.
00:53:31.960 Watch it with your family.
00:53:33.540 Then,
00:53:33.900 if you will,
00:53:34.620 go to
00:53:35.040 clarionproject.org.
00:53:36.840 You can get
00:53:37.620 Obsession for free
00:53:39.100 and the Faith Keepers
00:53:40.700 movie discounted
00:53:41.860 to $5.99.
00:53:43.200 It's cheap.
00:53:44.460 It's just enough
00:53:44.960 to produce it
00:53:45.680 and pay for it
00:53:46.260 and get it out.
00:53:47.820 But we're asking
00:53:48.840 that you would show
00:53:49.800 this in your churches.
00:53:51.180 You would show
00:53:51.860 this in your neighborhood.
00:53:52.860 You would gather
00:53:53.280 your friends together.
00:53:54.680 It's really important.
00:53:56.340 Nobody in the media
00:53:57.460 is telling the truth
00:53:59.060 about what's
00:53:59.920 really happening.
00:54:00.700 This is
00:54:02.080 the Armenian
00:54:03.160 genocide
00:54:03.760 of our time
00:54:05.140 and we need
00:54:07.040 to stand
00:54:08.000 and help
00:54:09.300 these people.
00:54:10.960 So,
00:54:11.200 please,
00:54:11.640 go to
00:54:12.140 clarionproject.org.
00:54:14.720 clarionproject.org.
00:54:16.260 Grab this movie,
00:54:17.640 show it to your friends,
00:54:18.860 and lead the way
00:54:19.940 out of darkness.
00:54:21.180 Thanks, guys.
00:54:28.960 You know,
00:54:29.800 government's
00:54:31.300 not going to get it done.
00:54:32.240 You know that
00:54:32.760 and I know that.
00:54:33.360 They're just not going
00:54:33.840 to get things done.
00:54:34.860 We have to do it
00:54:35.900 ourselves.
00:54:37.540 FEMA is broken.
00:54:39.220 Hurricane,
00:54:39.740 wildfire seasons,
00:54:40.780 weeks away.
00:54:42.220 What happens
00:54:42.660 if there's something
00:54:43.160 huge like the power grid?
00:54:44.680 You know,
00:54:45.300 Putin says
00:54:46.980 we're in World War III.
00:54:49.380 He says
00:54:50.120 this war
00:54:52.440 is not going to be
00:54:53.000 fought with bombs
00:54:54.060 but with ones
00:54:55.240 and zeros.
00:54:56.040 What happens
00:54:56.440 if the power grid
00:54:57.060 goes down?
00:54:58.240 You know,
00:54:58.420 people have tried
00:54:59.240 to hack it before
00:55:00.020 and the government
00:55:01.140 has said
00:55:01.420 they've gotten
00:55:01.740 dangerously close.
00:55:03.380 Somebody's been
00:55:03.980 probing it.
00:55:05.740 Here's what you do.
00:55:06.820 Stop worrying about it.
00:55:08.280 Just do the things
00:55:08.940 you can do.
00:55:10.020 And one of the things
00:55:11.280 this week you could do

00:55:13.160 on emergency food

00:55:15.700 crazy to do.

00:55:46.740 Glenn,
00:55:49.020 back,
00:55:50.220 Mercury.
00:55:50.680 Glenn,
00:55:59.540 back.
00:55:59.840 So it was
00:56:00.760 23 years ago
00:56:02.060 at about this time
00:56:03.720 that America
00:56:05.360 was shocked.
00:56:08.960 What was it
00:56:10.460 that America
00:56:13.340 heard on television
00:56:14.800 23 years ago?
00:56:16.880 Pretty close
00:56:20.200 to right now.
00:56:23.760 Listen.
00:56:25.640 This is a special
00:56:26.840 report from
00:56:27.620 NBC News.
00:56:30.240 And good morning
00:56:31.080 everyone.
00:56:31.480 I'm Matt Lauer
00:56:31.960 in New York
00:56:32.420 and we do have
00:56:32.920 a special report
00:56:33.620 from NBC News.
00:56:34.500 There has been
00:56:34.860 a massive explosion
00:56:35.860 at a federal building
00:56:36.960 in Oklahoma City,
00:56:38.540 Oklahoma.
00:56:39.120 It happened
00:56:39.440 just a short time ago.
00:56:40.660 A large portion
00:56:41.420 of that building
00:56:42.060 has collapsed
00:56:43.120 and fallen away
00:56:43.900 from the rest
00:56:44.400 of the building.
00:56:44.940 At the moment
00:56:45.540 we don't have
00:56:46.400 any specific numbers
00:56:47.320 on injuries
00:56:48.080 or deaths
00:56:48.720 but we can tell you
00:56:49.580 that the Red Cross
00:56:50.620 in the Oklahoma City area
00:56:52.100 has asked for all
00:56:53.000 volunteers to report
00:56:54.020 for duty.
00:56:55.020 Also,
00:56:55.520 we can tell you
00:56:56.280 that they've asked
00:56:56.780 for donations of blood
00:56:58.020 so the situation
00:56:58.800 is obviously serious.
00:57:02.780 Absolutely amazing.
00:57:04.840 Absolutely amazing.
00:57:06.180 We look at our
00:57:06.820 problems now.
00:57:09.200 Think of
00:57:09.800 what life was like
00:57:11.340 25,
00:57:12.000 23 years ago.
00:57:15.540 168 people
00:57:16.900 dead,
00:57:17.760 680 injured.
00:57:20.420 Oklahoma City,
00:57:21.560 we haven't forgotten.
00:57:23.540 We're thinking
00:57:24.060 about you today.
00:57:36.000 Glenn Beck,
00:57:37.900 Mercury.
00:57:38.560 Mercury.
00:57:38.680 This is the Glenn Beck
00:57:47.120 program.
00:57:48.240 This is a special
00:57:49.380 report from NBC News.
00:57:52.820 And good morning
00:57:53.600 everyone.
00:57:54.020 I'm Matt Lauer
00:57:54.500 in New York
00:57:54.940 and we do have
00:57:55.460 a special report
00:57:56.160 from NBC News.
00:57:57.040 There has been
00:57:57.400 a massive explosion
00:57:58.400 at a federal building
00:57:59.500 in Oklahoma City,
00:58:01.080 Oklahoma.
00:58:01.640 It happened
00:58:01.980 just a short time ago.
00:58:03.180 A large portion
00:58:03.960 of that building
00:58:04.600 has collapsed
00:58:05.660 and fallen away
00:58:06.440 from the rest
00:58:06.940 of the building.
00:58:07.340 At the moment,
00:58:08.460 we don't have
00:58:08.920 any specific numbers
00:58:09.860 on injuries
00:58:10.600 or deaths,
00:58:11.340 but we can tell you
00:58:12.120 that the Red Cross
00:58:13.140 in the Oklahoma City area
00:58:14.640 has asked for all
00:58:15.540 volunteers to report
00:58:16.540 for duty.
00:58:17.540 Also,
00:58:18.020 we can tell you
00:58:18.820 that they've asked
00:58:19.300 for donations of blood,
00:58:20.640 so the situation
00:58:21.320 is obviously serious.
00:58:23.120 It's quite amazing.
00:58:24.540 I mean,
00:58:24.980 23 years later,
00:58:26.280 Matt Lauer
00:58:26.780 is no longer with us.
00:58:28.000 He has been discredited
00:58:29.400 by an entirely
00:58:30.580 new movement
00:58:32.500 that nobody
00:58:33.000 would have foreseen
00:58:33.820 in 23 years ago
00:58:36.420 in 1995.
00:58:38.240 1995 was an important year,
00:58:40.240 at least for me.
00:58:41.840 1995 was a...
00:58:44.620 1995 Oklahoma City
00:58:46.320 happened,
00:58:47.880 and that was
00:58:49.960 the first time...
00:58:51.820 What's it?
00:58:53.360 The first time
00:58:54.180 that we had seen
00:58:54.960 an American
00:58:55.640 kill and slaughter
00:58:58.640 just a bunch
00:59:00.180 of Americans
00:59:00.860 and a crazy,
00:59:03.080 a crazy man.
00:59:06.940 And then,
00:59:08.120 in October
00:59:09.160 of that same year,
00:59:10.160 that happened
00:59:10.680 April 18th,
00:59:11.500 in October
00:59:12.000 of that same year,
00:59:13.360 we watched
00:59:14.900 O.J. Simpson
00:59:16.060 go down the highway.
00:59:18.480 I remember
00:59:18.920 so clearly
00:59:20.760 watching,
00:59:23.280 I think it was
00:59:23.720 Larry King,
00:59:26.060 and
00:59:26.520 laying in bed,
00:59:29.120 watching this
00:59:30.220 unfold.
00:59:33.140 You know,
00:59:33.740 watching on
00:59:34.260 one of those
00:59:34.660 big,
00:59:35.060 huge televisions
00:59:35.840 that you just
00:59:36.320 can't move today
00:59:37.120 because you can't
00:59:37.780 lift the big
00:59:38.340 tube television,
00:59:39.420 watching that
00:59:40.200 and thinking,
00:59:40.820 this is incredible.
00:59:42.680 What is happening?
00:59:44.540 That was the same
00:59:45.220 year.
00:59:50.240 The 90s were...
00:59:52.160 I mean,
00:59:52.400 we have not
00:59:53.160 had a break.
00:59:54.400 I mean,
00:59:54.700 think of this.
00:59:55.720 O.J. Simpson,
00:59:57.500 we had
00:59:57.680 Oakland,
00:59:57.940 we had
00:59:58.380 Oklahoma City,
01:00:00.040 a couple years
01:00:00.540 before that,
01:00:01.280 we had
01:00:01.560 Waco,
01:00:04.020 we had
01:00:06.960 Monica Lewinsky,
01:00:08.340 we had
01:00:08.720 Columbine,
01:00:09.880 we had
01:00:11.920 the Elian Gonzalez
01:00:13.080 debacle,
01:00:15.060 you remember that?
01:00:18.600 And then
01:00:19.460 into the
01:00:19.980 2000 election,
01:00:21.680 after impeachment
01:00:23.560 in the Senate,
01:00:25.900 2000 election,
01:00:27.100 he's stolen,
01:00:29.100 he was selected,
01:00:30.040 not elected,
01:00:30.760 all of that,
01:00:31.380 right into 9-11,
01:00:32.480 into war,
01:00:33.260 into where we are now.
01:00:35.560 Can I ask you a question?
01:00:40.120 Where have you been built up?
01:00:45.020 Think of this.
01:00:46.740 Since 1995,
01:00:48.000 and this is a serious question,
01:00:49.100 can anyone give me something
01:00:51.160 that we did
01:00:53.220 that happened
01:00:54.920 that we were like,
01:00:56.660 wow,
01:00:57.340 that's good.
01:00:58.560 And I don't mean
01:00:59.520 we killed
01:01:00.440 Osama bin Laden.
01:01:02.640 I mean something good,
01:01:04.660 something that was
01:01:05.320 uplifting.
01:01:07.920 I guess
01:01:08.880 the only thing
01:01:09.740 I can think of
01:01:10.400 is 9-12,
01:01:11.560 the day after 9-11,
01:01:13.040 where we all stood
01:01:14.280 in line
01:01:15.200 to give blood,
01:01:16.120 to do whatever we could,
01:01:17.320 where people were driving
01:01:18.720 with food trucks
01:01:19.620 from the other side
01:01:20.640 of the country,
01:01:21.260 where we started
01:01:22.100 to know our neighbor
01:01:23.640 and talk to our neighbor
01:01:24.600 and ask people,
01:01:25.680 how are you?
01:01:26.380 And we actually listened
01:01:27.860 to the answer.
01:01:28.700 That was remarkable.
01:01:30.160 It was the most remarkable
01:01:31.240 day in my entire life.
01:01:33.480 I didn't know
01:01:35.020 the strength
01:01:35.900 and the goodness
01:01:37.260 of America
01:01:38.000 until 9-12.
01:01:39.860 It was theoretical.
01:01:41.060 Tell me the last
01:01:45.060 good day
01:01:45.860 we had
01:01:46.500 as a whole.
01:01:48.120 As a whole.
01:01:52.480 It's not a rhetorical question.
01:01:54.060 Can anybody
01:01:54.440 think of anything?
01:01:56.040 You think of
01:01:56.520 the last good day
01:01:57.820 that we had
01:01:58.260 as a whole
01:01:58.700 that wasn't a
01:01:59.520 hey,
01:02:01.840 we killed somebody?
01:02:04.280 Obviously,
01:02:04.840 the Eagles
01:02:05.020 winning the Super Bowl.
01:02:05.880 Okay,
01:02:06.120 all right.
01:02:06.460 Something that was meaningful,
01:02:10.820 something that built
01:02:11.660 our institutions up,
01:02:13.020 something that
01:02:13.580 built us
01:02:15.160 as a country
01:02:16.020 that said to us,
01:02:18.860 look at how good we are.
01:02:21.280 You know what?
01:02:22.980 The day Barack Obama
01:02:24.500 was elected.
01:02:25.780 For half the country,
01:02:27.020 yeah.
01:02:27.520 I think more than that.
01:02:29.100 Yeah.
01:02:29.560 Because I remember
01:02:30.880 being on the air
01:02:31.540 that day
01:02:32.060 and I was
01:02:33.320 gravely
01:02:34.820 concerned
01:02:35.720 about his
01:02:36.480 Marxism
01:02:37.300 and his
01:02:38.140 relationship
01:02:38.780 to Marxist.
01:02:39.960 But I was
01:02:40.880 really proud
01:02:42.000 that America
01:02:42.900 elected its
01:02:43.900 first black man.
01:02:45.160 It was like
01:02:45.540 that's a great
01:02:46.480 milestone.
01:02:48.760 Right.
01:02:49.000 I mean,
01:02:49.420 separate from
01:02:50.940 all the policies
01:02:51.680 and you think
01:02:52.480 separate from
01:02:53.200 all of the policies.
01:02:54.200 Right.
01:02:55.100 There was
01:02:56.160 obviously
01:02:56.700 half the country
01:02:57.440 who,
01:02:57.840 you know,
01:02:58.300 voted for the guy
01:02:59.040 and was excited
01:02:59.580 about him
01:02:59.980 for multiple reasons.
01:03:01.740 But there was
01:03:02.140 a good chunk
01:03:02.540 of people
01:03:02.980 who did not
01:03:04.000 vote for him
01:03:04.640 and still
01:03:05.860 looked at that
01:03:06.620 and said,
01:03:06.880 you know what?
01:03:07.340 Hey,
01:03:07.480 that's a good thing.
01:03:08.060 This is it's it's
01:03:08.900 finally all of this
01:03:10.440 is behind us
01:03:11.020 and wow,
01:03:11.580 did we get that one
01:03:12.420 wrong?
01:03:12.920 So we can't really
01:03:13.400 even say it about
01:03:14.200 that because,
01:03:15.080 you know,
01:03:15.640 you could make
01:03:16.380 the argument
01:03:16.840 that 40%
01:03:17.680 of the country
01:03:18.260 was not happy
01:03:19.120 about that.
01:03:20.180 What was the thing?
01:03:20.860 What was the last
01:03:21.540 thing that happened
01:03:22.320 that brought us
01:03:23.060 all together?
01:03:23.920 Because to your point,
01:03:24.520 I mean,
01:03:24.680 I was I
01:03:25.740 I think it was
01:03:26.900 an important
01:03:27.560 historical moment
01:03:28.560 where you said,
01:03:29.300 wow,
01:03:29.420 this is a big
01:03:30.260 step for
01:03:31.080 for this country.
01:03:32.420 I'm proud of us.
01:03:33.460 But however,
01:03:34.280 I still thought of it
01:03:35.080 as a really
01:03:35.780 yes,
01:03:36.560 bad thing
01:03:37.300 because he was
01:03:38.100 going to be
01:03:38.460 a terrible president,
01:03:39.160 which which he was.
01:03:40.400 No,
01:03:40.540 I remember
01:03:41.220 having to look
01:03:42.420 for the bright side.
01:03:43.640 Right.
01:03:44.120 I had to look
01:03:44.980 for the bright side,
01:03:45.760 but there was
01:03:46.660 that bright side.
01:03:49.580 This is a good
01:03:50.440 this is a good
01:03:51.220 yeah,
01:03:52.400 the reason why I ask
01:03:53.520 garbage in garbage out.
01:03:57.180 How do we
01:03:59.320 we haven't put
01:03:59.920 anything in our tank.
01:04:01.120 What if we put
01:04:01.900 into our tank?
01:04:03.940 Here's another one,
01:04:04.900 but not for the
01:04:05.420 whole country.
01:04:07.320 828,
01:04:08.260 Washington,
01:04:08.860 D.C.
01:04:09.360 on the Lincoln
01:04:10.160 Memorial steps.
01:04:12.480 That was a good
01:04:13.900 uniting day
01:04:14.800 where people came
01:04:15.760 together.
01:04:16.320 In fact,
01:04:16.740 some one of the
01:04:17.280 guys that works
01:04:17.980 for me was
01:04:18.540 working for the
01:04:19.480 ACLU at the
01:04:21.520 time and was
01:04:22.740 going to 828
01:04:24.380 just to see
01:04:25.100 what it was all
01:04:25.660 about.
01:04:26.000 just to make
01:04:27.360 up his own
01:04:27.820 mind and see
01:04:28.320 what this was
01:04:28.740 all about,
01:04:29.260 thinking that
01:04:29.920 this was crazy
01:04:31.020 and watched it
01:04:32.100 and it changed
01:04:32.680 his life.
01:04:34.380 And he was
01:04:34.960 like,
01:04:35.200 this isn't
01:04:35.840 anything like
01:04:37.020 I thought it
01:04:37.480 was.
01:04:38.240 That's not
01:04:38.800 what the
01:04:39.080 press said.
01:04:40.200 And again,
01:04:40.920 to even the
01:04:41.560 one you're
01:04:41.900 pointing out
01:04:42.480 as evidence,
01:04:43.900 you know,
01:04:44.300 912 is a
01:04:45.420 is a day
01:04:46.300 that's been
01:04:46.760 very important
01:04:47.280 to you.
01:04:47.760 And you look
01:04:48.460 at it in a
01:04:49.060 completely different
01:04:50.020 way than most
01:04:50.680 people.
01:04:51.180 I mean,
01:04:51.520 yes,
01:04:51.780 it was a time
01:04:52.280 we united,
01:04:52.880 but it was
01:04:53.240 uniting only
01:04:53.920 because of
01:04:54.400 horrible tragedy.
01:04:55.440 I mean,
01:04:56.080 it wasn't
01:04:56.480 like a,
01:04:57.460 hey,
01:04:57.560 wonderful moment.
01:04:58.580 It was a
01:04:59.000 moment of
01:04:59.400 mourning and
01:05:00.440 terror for a
01:05:01.880 lot of people
01:05:02.380 too.
01:05:02.880 Yes,
01:05:03.060 we all helped
01:05:03.640 each other.
01:05:04.080 And that's the
01:05:05.020 lesson we've
01:05:05.540 taken out of
01:05:06.080 that.
01:05:06.720 But even
01:05:07.040 that,
01:05:07.800 in other words,
01:05:08.200 I think what we
01:05:08.660 can summarize
01:05:09.020 here is we've
01:05:09.480 never had a
01:05:09.940 good day.
01:05:10.500 really,
01:05:13.000 we're doomed.
01:05:13.980 Wow,
01:05:14.140 we are screwed.
01:05:16.380 Can somebody
01:05:17.580 come up with
01:05:18.240 this is,
01:05:18.800 I would like
01:05:19.560 to hear,
01:05:19.980 can anyone
01:05:20.600 come up with
01:05:21.320 something?
01:05:21.820 Sure,
01:05:22.060 we're forgetting
01:05:22.320 something.
01:05:22.660 We've got to
01:05:23.380 be,
01:05:23.660 that has
01:05:24.680 built us
01:05:25.780 together,
01:05:26.640 that has
01:05:26.940 brought us
01:05:27.660 together in
01:05:29.320 the last 25
01:05:30.740 years.
01:05:31.640 I mean,
01:05:32.180 you know,
01:05:32.860 there's things
01:05:33.600 in sports like
01:05:34.680 the miracle on
01:05:35.400 ice.
01:05:35.800 That goes
01:05:36.040 back to the
01:05:36.460 80s.
01:05:38.260 Or 80,
01:05:39.160 81.
01:05:39.960 Yeah,
01:05:40.220 it was an
01:05:40.960 Olympic year,
01:05:41.520 so 80.
01:05:43.220 And there
01:05:43.660 was things
01:05:44.000 like that.
01:05:44.640 You've got to
01:05:44.920 go back to
01:05:45.360 the early
01:05:45.760 90s,
01:05:47.220 I think,
01:05:47.520 to find
01:05:47.900 those things.
01:05:49.360 And you'll
01:05:50.200 only find
01:05:50.740 them with
01:05:51.420 sports.
01:05:52.100 It's why
01:05:52.380 nobody's
01:05:53.340 watching the
01:05:53.840 Olympics
01:05:54.080 anymore.
01:05:55.260 Because it's
01:05:56.020 not good
01:05:56.460 guys versus
01:05:57.020 bad guys.
01:05:58.340 That's what
01:05:58.940 it used to
01:05:59.380 be.
01:05:59.580 It was good
01:05:59.880 guys versus
01:06:00.360 bad guys.
01:06:01.260 They are
01:06:01.600 cheating.
01:06:02.560 They are,
01:06:03.140 you know,
01:06:03.360 their women are
01:06:04.080 400 pounds
01:06:05.460 of muscle.
01:06:06.700 You know,
01:06:07.240 it's just
01:06:07.540 not possible.
01:06:09.000 We know
01:06:09.300 they're cheating
01:06:09.840 and yet we
01:06:10.380 can still
01:06:10.880 beat them.
01:06:11.660 That was,
01:06:12.840 that's what
01:06:13.540 brought us
01:06:14.020 together on
01:06:14.440 the Olympics.
01:06:14.940 Now it's
01:06:15.300 like,
01:06:15.860 I don't
01:06:16.160 know,
01:06:17.000 I guess I'm
01:06:17.780 for her or
01:06:18.900 him because
01:06:19.380 he's got a
01:06:19.860 cool story,
01:06:20.660 but that's
01:06:21.240 not enough
01:06:22.280 to galvanize
01:06:23.460 like we
01:06:23.840 used to.
01:06:25.140 You know,
01:06:25.480 it's interesting
01:06:26.380 too because
01:06:26.860 combining this
01:06:28.120 with other
01:06:28.800 conversations we've
01:06:29.640 had fairly
01:06:30.100 recently,
01:06:31.340 this has been
01:06:32.000 a really good
01:06:32.860 period for
01:06:33.560 humanity.
01:06:34.480 I mean,
01:06:34.760 it's been a
01:06:35.000 great period
01:06:35.520 for humanity.
01:06:36.320 We've,
01:06:36.940 you know,
01:06:37.600 wars are
01:06:38.620 far less
01:06:39.560 frequent,
01:06:40.300 far less
01:06:40.660 people die
01:06:41.380 in them,
01:06:42.220 far less
01:06:42.460 people die
01:06:42.800 of disease,
01:06:43.440 far less
01:06:43.640 people die
01:06:44.000 of poverty.
01:06:45.620 The World
01:06:48.040 Health Organization
01:06:48.880 came out two
01:06:49.560 weeks ago or
01:06:50.180 three weeks
01:06:50.620 ago said
01:06:51.140 that starvation
01:06:53.500 is no longer
01:06:55.280 the problem
01:06:56.760 in the world,
01:06:58.040 the leading
01:06:58.380 problem,
01:06:58.840 the leading
01:06:59.580 problem is
01:07:00.420 obesity.
01:07:02.100 It's incredible.
01:07:02.900 That's nuts.
01:07:03.460 And that's a
01:07:03.780 one,
01:07:04.540 as crazy as
01:07:05.540 it sounds,
01:07:06.020 it's a
01:07:06.300 wonderful
01:07:07.180 problem to
01:07:07.860 have.
01:07:08.300 Yes.
01:07:08.920 I mean,
01:07:09.300 the fact that
01:07:10.000 you can
01:07:10.300 essentially
01:07:10.660 choose to
01:07:11.380 die rather
01:07:11.920 than being
01:07:12.360 forced to
01:07:13.080 die is a
01:07:13.720 really good
01:07:14.460 thing.
01:07:14.980 The fact
01:07:15.500 that if we
01:07:17.320 can never get
01:07:17.900 to a place
01:07:18.340 to where
01:07:18.700 every city
01:07:20.160 in the world
01:07:21.680 has at least
01:07:23.600 one person
01:07:24.420 that has to
01:07:24.900 be taken
01:07:25.320 out by the
01:07:26.460 fire department
01:07:26.980 through their
01:07:27.440 window in a
01:07:28.020 crane because
01:07:30.120 they're too
01:07:30.580 fat to fit
01:07:31.160 through the
01:07:31.460 door.
01:07:31.840 I think
01:07:32.500 that's a
01:07:33.060 positive.
01:07:34.520 Now,
01:07:35.040 it may just
01:07:35.740 be me,
01:07:37.220 but it's
01:07:39.880 better than
01:07:40.300 starving.
01:07:41.140 It's better
01:07:41.560 than it's,
01:07:43.300 you know,
01:07:43.440 it's better
01:07:43.760 than seeing
01:07:44.280 those pictures
01:07:45.400 of the
01:07:45.860 children who
01:07:46.620 just,
01:07:47.340 you know,
01:07:47.720 their stomachs
01:07:48.360 are bloated
01:07:48.860 and they're
01:07:49.180 just starving
01:07:49.660 to death.
01:07:50.060 And that's
01:07:50.380 still happening.
01:07:51.780 Oh,
01:07:51.840 yeah,
01:07:51.980 it's still a
01:07:52.680 problem.
01:07:53.080 It's just a
01:07:54.060 minimal problem
01:07:54.620 compared to
01:07:55.080 what it was.
01:07:56.480 Remember,
01:07:57.060 people are
01:07:57.740 mentioning or
01:07:58.520 starting to tweet
01:07:59.180 in answers at
01:07:59.960 World of Stew
01:08:00.660 rescuing the
01:08:02.200 miners.
01:08:03.340 There was that
01:08:04.000 day where the
01:08:04.840 miners were
01:08:05.320 rescued.
01:08:05.780 I mean,
01:08:06.040 that was kind
01:08:07.460 of a big deal.
01:08:08.620 Obviously,
01:08:09.220 the documentary
01:08:10.160 where Rocky
01:08:10.760 Balboa defeated
01:08:11.520 Ivan Drago was
01:08:13.200 one I think we
01:08:14.460 could all point
01:08:15.000 to.
01:08:15.560 Again,
01:08:15.680 it's back in
01:08:16.120 the 80s.
01:08:16.540 I got you.
01:08:16.980 I know.
01:08:17.500 You're right.
01:08:17.940 It's in the
01:08:18.300 80s.
01:08:18.660 All right.
01:08:19.180 So that was,
01:08:19.680 I'm sure you're
01:08:20.220 the thing you're
01:08:20.760 about to bring up.
01:08:20.900 And again,
01:08:20.940 that goes to my
01:08:21.420 sports theory.
01:08:22.440 It is sports a lot.
01:08:23.600 Yeah,
01:08:23.920 it is.
01:08:24.720 It is sports a lot.
01:08:25.860 What else?
01:08:26.220 Anything else?
01:08:27.620 Let's take a quick
01:08:28.480 break.
01:08:28.800 We'll screen the
01:08:29.540 phones.
01:08:29.920 Take your phone
01:08:30.340 calls and look
01:08:30.900 at your tweets.
01:08:32.300 888-727-BECK.
01:08:35.480 There's got to be
01:08:36.400 something.
01:08:36.900 We've got to be
01:08:37.460 missing something.
01:08:39.020 Otherwise, I'm
01:08:41.060 really depressed.
01:08:42.420 I'm really depressed.
01:08:43.860 Actually, I feel
01:08:45.240 better because I
01:08:47.060 realize, well, we
01:08:48.260 haven't had anything
01:08:49.220 for a while.
01:08:50.060 And look, that's
01:08:51.340 why we feel so
01:08:52.040 beaten down.
01:08:52.940 We've got to start
01:08:53.580 looking for those
01:08:54.520 things.
01:08:55.580 All right.
01:08:56.120 Let me tell you
01:08:56.520 about the Palm
01:08:58.340 Beach letter,
01:08:58.940 which we have
01:08:59.880 gone out to
01:09:00.740 all kinds of
01:09:03.540 experts.
01:09:04.200 And we have
01:09:04.660 asked them about
01:09:05.780 Bitcoin.
01:09:06.440 I invest in
01:09:07.160 Bitcoin.
01:09:07.580 I just read a
01:09:08.260 story from
01:09:09.580 some investor
01:09:11.600 that said,
01:09:12.100 you know,
01:09:12.280 if you're not,
01:09:13.040 if you have
01:09:13.740 given up on
01:09:14.280 Bitcoin,
01:09:14.900 you are about
01:09:15.760 to miss the
01:09:16.560 biggest spike yet.
01:09:18.320 I don't know
01:09:18.940 if that's true.
01:09:20.960 I will tell you
01:09:21.920 that George Soros
01:09:22.740 talked Bitcoin
01:09:23.520 down and then,
01:09:25.000 oh, lo and
01:09:25.540 behold, just
01:09:26.120 two weeks
01:09:26.520 ago, who
01:09:27.220 look who's
01:09:27.660 investing in
01:09:28.240 Bitcoin with
01:09:30.280 his $23
01:09:30.960 billion fund.
01:09:33.160 Amazing.
01:09:34.340 So anyway,
01:09:35.580 talk it down
01:09:36.520 and then start
01:09:36.980 buying.
01:09:37.500 It's exactly
01:09:38.040 what George
01:09:38.540 Soros.
01:09:38.900 It's exactly
01:09:39.480 what he always
01:09:39.980 does.
01:09:40.500 Anyway,
01:09:41.580 Bitcoin is
01:09:42.800 really hard to
01:09:43.740 understand because
01:09:45.120 of blockchain and
01:09:46.340 everything else.
01:09:47.180 And is it
01:09:47.620 Bitcoin or is it
01:09:48.540 another coin?
01:09:51.020 We don't know,
01:09:51.900 but I think this
01:09:52.720 is around for the
01:09:54.100 rest of our
01:09:54.520 lives.
01:09:55.220 So we went
01:09:55.940 out and we
01:09:56.420 interviewed a
01:09:57.040 whole bunch of
01:09:57.700 people.
01:09:58.020 We found a
01:09:58.280 guy named
01:09:58.580 Tika Tiwari.
01:09:59.380 He's from
01:09:59.700 the Palm Beach
01:10:00.280 letter.
01:10:01.720 And we asked
01:10:02.620 him, could you
01:10:03.460 put together a
01:10:05.040 tutorial on
01:10:06.700 cryptocurrencies?
01:10:08.820 What is it?
01:10:09.700 How does it
01:10:10.180 work?
01:10:10.660 How do you
01:10:11.200 invest?
01:10:12.140 Then if you
01:10:12.960 want to invest
01:10:13.560 after you
01:10:14.020 understand it,
01:10:14.660 that's up to
01:10:15.100 you.

01:10:23.300 money for
01:10:23.860 people on
01:10:24.520 cryptocurrencies
01:10:25.040 than I think

01:11:07.980 Glenn
01:11:08.540 Beck.
01:11:09.660 Okay, so I
01:11:10.860 know there
01:11:12.520 are things that
01:11:13.360 have happened
01:11:13.760 since 1995
01:11:14.720 that have been
01:11:15.840 good.
01:11:16.440 I just can't
01:11:17.720 figure out what
01:11:18.340 they are.
01:11:19.160 And I mean,
01:11:19.620 when I say
01:11:20.020 good, I mean
01:11:20.900 something that
01:11:21.400 all of us,
01:11:22.460 both sides of
01:11:23.040 the aisle,
01:11:23.720 black, white,
01:11:24.880 Republican,
01:11:25.680 Democrat,
01:11:26.180 whatever,
01:11:27.040 all of us
01:11:28.400 came together
01:11:29.040 and said,
01:11:29.780 wow, that
01:11:30.920 was great.
01:11:32.520 Cliff has
01:11:33.800 a great one.
01:11:35.760 Cliff, go
01:11:36.260 ahead.
01:11:37.760 How are you
01:11:38.140 doing, sir?
01:11:38.700 I love listening
01:11:39.320 to your show.
01:11:39.960 Thank you.
01:11:40.280 When I heard
01:11:40.840 you today,
01:11:41.200 I had to call
01:11:41.840 in because I
01:11:43.120 believe the
01:11:43.640 miracle on the
01:11:44.680 Hudson,
01:11:45.380 Sully
01:11:45.540 Sullenberger,
01:11:46.320 was an event
01:11:47.580 that a lot of
01:11:48.480 Midwesterners,
01:11:49.320 even though it
01:11:50.000 happened in
01:11:50.340 New York,
01:11:51.120 we were joyful
01:11:51.740 here.
01:11:52.220 We talked
01:11:52.580 about it for
01:11:53.000 weeks.
01:11:53.640 It was very
01:11:54.600 uplifting,
01:11:55.220 and I think
01:11:55.540 it really did,
01:11:56.480 both sides of
01:11:57.100 the aisle,
01:11:57.400 it didn't matter
01:11:57.700 who you were,
01:11:58.180 you were happy
01:11:58.680 to see something
01:11:59.220 like that happen,
01:12:00.540 and it really
01:12:01.520 inspired a lot
01:12:02.300 of people.
01:12:02.740 I know my
01:12:03.400 son's working
01:12:03.980 on his pilot's
01:12:04.640 license right
01:12:05.060 now just because
01:12:05.780 of that one
01:12:06.400 event.
01:12:08.000 That was an
01:12:08.740 inspiring thing
01:12:09.580 in American
01:12:10.240 history to
01:12:11.080 help the young
01:12:11.520 man find his
01:12:12.200 way, and we
01:12:12.980 need more of
01:12:13.440 that for our
01:12:14.140 kids, for
01:12:14.800 our families.
01:12:16.460 You are
01:12:17.020 right, Cliff.
01:12:17.580 That one was
01:12:18.800 great.
01:12:19.200 I remember I
01:12:19.960 was in New
01:12:20.360 York.
01:12:20.700 Yeah, we had
01:12:20.960 a pretty unique
01:12:21.480 experience with
01:12:22.180 that because we
01:12:22.920 had windows where
01:12:23.840 we could look
01:12:24.260 out and watch
01:12:24.780 it.
01:12:25.340 It was bizarre.
01:12:26.700 We were in
01:12:26.960 this big high
01:12:27.760 rise tower,
01:12:29.180 our offices.
01:12:29.960 We were about
01:12:30.880 three blocks down
01:12:31.680 from Fox, and I
01:12:32.800 had finished my
01:12:33.560 Fox show, I
01:12:34.260 think, or I
01:12:35.480 was over for a
01:12:36.120 meeting or
01:12:36.460 something, and I
01:12:37.020 walked through,
01:12:38.060 and everybody was
01:12:38.680 buzzing, and this
01:12:39.400 is before cell
01:12:42.040 phones, really.
01:12:43.460 I mean, not
01:12:44.140 cell phones, but
01:12:44.780 where everybody
01:12:45.620 was connected on
01:12:46.480 social media.
01:12:47.680 Intense social media
01:12:47.800 all the time.
01:12:48.820 And so I'm
01:12:49.900 walking down, and
01:12:50.780 I'm hearing talk
01:12:52.020 about something.
01:12:52.700 I'm hearing about
01:12:53.380 a plane crash, and
01:12:54.180 I'm like, oh,
01:12:54.480 dear God.
01:12:55.200 We go up.
01:12:56.120 I get off the
01:12:56.660 elevators.
01:12:57.180 What is happening?
01:12:58.620 Come to the
01:12:59.400 windows, and we
01:13:01.040 could look right
01:13:01.960 out on the
01:13:03.500 Hudson River.
01:13:04.360 And you could see
01:13:04.740 all the rescue
01:13:05.280 boats coming.
01:13:05.840 We didn't see the
01:13:06.400 actual landing, but
01:13:08.060 you could see all
01:13:09.080 the rescue boats.
01:13:09.960 It was right there
01:13:11.620 in front of us.
01:13:12.120 We all just kind of
01:13:12.880 sat there and just
01:13:13.980 watched out the
01:13:14.780 window.
01:13:15.440 Remember the next
01:13:16.340 day, too, I said,
01:13:18.220 this is God
01:13:19.300 reminding us he's
01:13:21.800 got us.
01:13:22.640 It's good.
01:13:23.860 It's a miracle on
01:13:24.680 the Hudson.
01:13:27.280 That's a great one,
01:13:28.560 because I was coming
01:13:29.240 up with things like,
01:13:30.240 I don't know,
01:13:31.700 SpaceX when they
01:13:32.800 landed on the
01:13:33.660 platform.
01:13:35.060 A lot of things,
01:13:36.020 though, come from
01:13:36.860 real potential
01:13:38.280 tragedy or tragedy.
01:13:39.320 Obviously, the
01:13:39.860 miracle of the
01:13:40.360 Hudson potential
01:13:41.160 tragedy.
01:13:42.020 People are
01:13:42.580 reminding us of
01:13:43.660 the Houston
01:13:44.500 Hurricanes, which
01:13:45.340 was just last
01:13:46.380 year.
01:13:47.560 There's a lot of
01:13:48.260 great things that
01:13:48.960 came out of that.
01:13:49.840 That's a good one.
01:13:50.420 I've got Sully.
01:13:51.860 I'm going to keep
01:13:52.360 this list.
01:13:53.720 When I'm sitting
01:13:54.540 at the edge of my
01:13:55.100 bed going, we're
01:13:56.040 all doomed, I
01:13:56.920 can just look at
01:13:57.460 this.
01:13:57.960 Okay, so Houston
01:13:59.600 Hurricane, I like
01:14:00.340 that.
01:14:00.800 Anything else?
01:14:02.300 George Bush's
01:14:03.100 first pitch in that
01:14:03.860 first game after
01:14:04.920 9-11 was one.
01:14:06.620 Again, sports
01:14:07.200 related, but
01:14:07.800 that's a moment
01:14:09.680 that I think, I
01:14:11.000 mean, I talked
01:14:12.580 about the stat
01:14:13.020 recently.
01:14:14.220 George W.
01:14:14.740 Bush had an
01:14:15.200 84% approval
01:14:16.500 rating at that
01:14:17.080 time among
01:14:18.480 Democrats.
01:14:20.340 Wow.
01:14:20.820 Not overall,
01:14:21.660 among Democrats,
01:14:23.040 84%.
01:14:24.460 That's how united
01:14:25.660 we were after
01:14:26.240 that thing
01:14:27.080 happened.
01:14:28.100 But again,
01:14:28.820 it's a tragedy
01:14:29.320 that causes it.
01:14:30.060 I'd love to find
01:14:30.580 those that aren't
01:14:31.280 that way.
01:14:33.900 Back in a minute.
01:14:36.620 Glenn Beck
01:14:39.940 Mercury
01:14:41.100 Love
01:14:47.740 Courage
01:14:48.960 Truth
01:14:50.660 Glenn Beck
01:14:53.260 Oh no!
01:14:54.280 Russia's just as
01:14:55.280 good as we are,
01:14:56.160 just as bad as we
01:14:57.060 are.
01:14:57.280 We've just been as
01:14:57.980 bad as Russia.
01:14:59.280 There's no
01:14:59.800 difference between
01:15:00.440 Can we stop that
01:15:02.040 conversation for a
01:15:03.000 minute?
01:15:03.200 Let me just, let me
01:15:04.180 tell you about the
01:15:04.960 guy who's known as
01:15:06.120 the Russian Elon
01:15:07.340 Musk.
01:15:08.800 Everyone was in
01:15:09.900 agreement that this
01:15:11.000 56-year-old scientist,
01:15:12.520 nothing short of
01:15:13.520 brilliant, he was
01:15:15.200 their Elon Musk.
01:15:16.780 He had 3D modeling
01:15:18.100 techniques that were
01:15:18.940 so high-tech that
01:15:20.340 Russian submarines
01:15:21.340 would soon be able to
01:15:22.380 be fixed remotely
01:15:24.400 from hundreds of
01:15:26.280 miles away.
01:15:27.100 We could fix
01:15:28.260 something, we'd go,
01:15:29.100 there they are,
01:15:29.900 right there.
01:15:31.420 That's what he was
01:15:32.420 doing.
01:15:32.840 The same application
01:15:33.640 was being looked
01:15:34.440 at for oil and
01:15:35.320 gas pipelines.
01:15:36.760 His work was
01:15:37.440 absolutely
01:15:38.100 revolutionary.
01:15:39.820 Won him a
01:15:40.520 lucrative contract
01:15:41.560 with the Russian
01:15:43.020 Ministry of Defense.
01:15:45.660 Yeah, and that
01:15:47.240 would be the
01:15:48.220 downfall.
01:15:49.200 Let me get into
01:15:50.180 bed with the
01:15:50.860 government.
01:15:52.060 Now, in a
01:15:52.640 civilized, free
01:15:53.780 country, you
01:15:55.080 mess with the
01:15:55.640 state, you go to
01:15:56.700 jail.
01:15:57.420 But in Russia, you
01:15:58.860 mess with the
01:15:59.420 state, you die a
01:16:01.780 secret and brutal
01:16:02.880 death.
01:16:04.580 The entire world
01:16:05.700 has gotten a
01:16:06.280 glimpse of this
01:16:07.020 when the details
01:16:07.700 from the
01:16:08.420 Magnitsky case
01:16:09.680 eventually led to
01:16:11.120 global sanctions
01:16:12.280 targeting multiple
01:16:15.420 prominent Russians.
01:16:17.200 Magnitsky exposed
01:16:18.600 a massive fraud
01:16:19.720 scheme that
01:16:20.480 reached the
01:16:21.300 highest echelons
01:16:22.340 of the Russian
01:16:23.000 government.
01:16:24.220 When you hear
01:16:24.860 about the
01:16:25.440 Magnitsky case,
01:16:27.040 that's what they
01:16:28.360 were talking about
01:16:29.140 with Donald Trump.
01:16:29.880 Yeah, what is
01:16:30.380 that story?
01:16:33.440 He was
01:16:34.220 involved in
01:16:35.380 trying to
01:16:36.700 blow the
01:16:37.200 whistle and
01:16:38.620 show that
01:16:39.160 government money
01:16:39.940 was being
01:16:40.440 abused.
01:16:41.760 The Kremlin
01:16:42.660 repaid him by
01:16:43.520 throwing him in
01:16:44.220 prison and then
01:16:44.760 beating him to
01:16:45.380 death.
01:16:46.180 The Russian
01:16:47.120 Elon Musk,
01:16:48.240 whose real
01:16:48.900 name is
01:16:49.660 Valerie, would
01:16:51.580 soon learn
01:16:52.400 this lesson.
01:16:54.600 Valerie had
01:16:55.400 recently accused
01:16:56.680 his business
01:16:57.200 partner of
01:16:57.680 stealing company
01:16:58.580 money, and
01:16:59.660 like anybody,
01:17:00.380 he took it
01:17:00.900 to court.
01:17:02.320 Never in a
01:17:03.080 million years
01:17:03.620 would he
01:17:03.960 think, oh,
01:17:05.000 wait a minute,
01:17:05.360 this is going
01:17:05.840 to be turned
01:17:06.340 around on me?
01:17:07.260 Hold it.
01:17:07.700 Wait, I'm the
01:17:08.360 one who's
01:17:08.880 exposing this.
01:17:10.840 Never in a
01:17:11.460 million years
01:17:12.280 would he expect
01:17:13.000 that his
01:17:13.340 business partner
01:17:14.160 could turn the
01:17:14.920 tables and
01:17:16.060 say, no,
01:17:17.880 Valerie's the
01:17:18.580 guy who's been
01:17:19.280 stealing the
01:17:19.860 money from the
01:17:20.380 Russian government.
01:17:21.820 It shocked
01:17:22.780 everybody.
01:17:23.960 So, in
01:17:25.920 January, there's
01:17:28.800 a knock on
01:17:29.260 his door.
01:17:30.640 He knew who
01:17:31.500 was there.
01:17:32.700 It was the
01:17:33.540 FSB, the
01:17:35.400 former KGB.
01:17:37.180 They grabbed
01:17:38.080 him and said,
01:17:39.060 quote, take a
01:17:40.020 good look at
01:17:40.600 your suits.
01:17:41.340 You won't be
01:17:41.980 needing them
01:17:42.600 anymore.
01:17:43.900 Save one for
01:17:45.080 your coffin,
01:17:46.180 end quote.
01:17:47.840 Three weeks
01:17:48.640 later, his body
01:17:49.480 was found.
01:17:50.620 He had hung
01:17:51.260 himself.
01:17:52.620 Yeah.
01:17:53.500 He had hung
01:17:54.240 himself?
01:17:55.140 Yes, with an
01:17:55.860 improvised noose
01:17:58.180 in a St.
01:17:58.700 Petersburg prison.
01:17:59.600 You know, he
01:18:00.600 was very clever.
01:18:03.140 Prison authorities
01:18:04.060 declared it was a
01:18:04.840 suicide, the
01:18:06.200 tragic end to a
01:18:07.320 man that had
01:18:07.840 lost everything
01:18:08.520 and had clearly
01:18:09.100 decided to end
01:18:10.320 his misery at
01:18:11.020 the end of the
01:18:11.500 rope because he
01:18:12.180 had stolen from
01:18:12.860 the Russian
01:18:13.200 people.
01:18:14.100 That would
01:18:14.720 normally be the
01:18:15.400 end of the
01:18:15.760 story, but not
01:18:17.120 so much this
01:18:17.620 time.
01:18:18.860 Because it looks
01:18:19.540 like the Russian
01:18:20.040 Elon Musk didn't
01:18:21.080 die from an
01:18:22.120 improvised noose.
01:18:23.860 He died from
01:18:25.040 a few, let's
01:18:27.320 say, suspicious
01:18:28.860 circumstances.
01:18:31.580 Apparently, when
01:18:32.560 he was hanging
01:18:33.240 there, he
01:18:35.340 found a way to
01:18:36.960 break his
01:18:37.840 spine, apply
01:18:41.380 electric juice
01:18:45.500 to him so he
01:18:46.360 could go through
01:18:46.960 some sort of
01:18:47.680 self-inflicted
01:18:48.740 electric torture.
01:18:49.660 He was, of
01:18:51.080 course, asphyxiated,
01:18:52.480 but then also
01:18:54.280 died later with
01:18:56.520 the noose.
01:18:58.020 He had knife
01:18:58.660 wounds that he
01:18:59.480 apparently inflicted
01:19:00.540 on himself, and
01:19:02.040 he raped himself
01:19:03.460 several times.
01:19:07.380 I don't know how
01:19:08.360 that's done.
01:19:09.060 He did what now?
01:19:09.580 Well, he probably
01:19:11.600 decided he was
01:19:12.660 both male and
01:19:13.600 female, and he
01:19:14.940 was in prison.
01:19:16.520 All people in
01:19:17.360 prison are rapists.
01:19:18.160 You know that.
01:19:18.740 I know that.
01:19:20.200 This is what
01:19:20.940 happened to
01:19:21.400 Magnitsky.
01:19:22.900 Same thing, all
01:19:23.920 over again.
01:19:25.580 A brilliant
01:19:26.160 scientist had
01:19:27.000 crossed the
01:19:27.520 Russian government,
01:19:28.500 and he paid for
01:19:29.340 it, brutally, with
01:19:30.400 his life.
01:19:31.620 The reason why I
01:19:32.100 bring this up is
01:19:32.700 because Alex Jones
01:19:33.560 and others have
01:19:34.460 recently said,
01:19:35.140 well, you know,
01:19:35.640 Russia, they're the
01:19:36.260 white knights.
01:19:37.260 Yeah, yeah, yeah,
01:19:38.720 they are, aren't
01:19:39.400 they?
01:19:39.800 Really?
01:19:40.020 This is the
01:19:43.160 propaganda that's
01:19:43.800 being pushed out
01:19:44.480 of the Kremlin to
01:19:45.460 the entire world.
01:19:46.960 The good old
01:19:47.440 Russians saving the
01:19:48.480 Christian world.
01:19:49.740 Make no mistake,
01:19:51.760 people like
01:19:52.300 Magnitsky and
01:19:53.420 Valerie, they
01:19:54.380 know exactly who
01:19:56.540 these people really
01:19:57.700 are.
01:19:58.200 I should say,
01:19:58.980 they did know
01:20:00.480 exactly who
01:20:01.840 these people are.
01:20:03.700 White knights
01:20:04.720 don't beat people
01:20:05.860 to death for
01:20:06.700 exposing their
01:20:07.540 corruption.
01:20:08.580 They don't
01:20:09.060 electrocute and
01:20:09.920 rape their
01:20:10.540 citizens to
01:20:11.360 death for
01:20:11.860 crossing the
01:20:12.500 state.
01:20:13.520 This is what's
01:20:14.500 going on behind
01:20:15.300 the Kremlin
01:20:15.800 walls, and we
01:20:16.940 all better realize
01:20:18.160 what Putin and
01:20:19.620 his cronies are
01:20:20.900 really like.
01:20:27.780 It's Thursday,
01:20:29.240 April 19th.
01:20:30.540 This is the
01:20:31.400 Glenn Beck
01:20:31.820 program.
01:20:32.600 23 years ago
01:20:33.820 today, America
01:20:35.460 heard this on
01:20:36.520 their television
01:20:37.100 set.
01:20:38.240 This is a
01:20:39.420 special report
01:20:40.140 from NBC
01:20:41.000 News.
01:20:43.180 And good
01:20:43.720 morning, everyone.
01:20:44.340 I'm Matt
01:20:44.580 Lauer in New
01:20:45.100 York, and we
01:20:45.500 do have a
01:20:45.900 special report
01:20:46.480 from NBC
01:20:46.940 News.
01:20:47.360 There has
01:20:47.600 been a
01:20:47.860 massive
01:20:48.100 explosion at
01:20:48.960 a federal
01:20:49.380 building in
01:20:50.400 Oklahoma City,
01:20:51.380 Oklahoma.
01:20:51.700 So now I
01:20:52.200 remember this
01:20:52.760 was in 1995,
01:20:53.720 and I remember
01:20:54.720 hearing this,
01:20:56.160 and I believe it
01:20:57.020 was 1995,
01:20:58.140 where I kind of
01:20:58.760 started to go,
01:20:59.680 wait a minute,
01:21:00.980 I don't think I
01:21:01.640 understand the
01:21:02.400 country that I
01:21:02.960 live in anymore,
01:21:03.580 and I'm starting
01:21:04.180 to be really
01:21:04.680 concerned about it.
01:21:05.640 1995, a few
01:21:08.900 months later is
01:21:09.440 when OJ
01:21:10.060 Simpson, the
01:21:11.140 verdict came
01:21:11.960 out, and so
01:21:13.520 we had watched
01:21:14.140 OJ Simpson
01:21:14.840 travel down the
01:21:15.720 street, and then
01:21:16.120 we had watched
01:21:16.580 the trial.
01:21:17.920 We'd seen
01:21:18.680 Oklahoma bombing,
01:21:19.640 and a few
01:21:20.160 months later, we
01:21:21.200 see people
01:21:21.720 cheering for a
01:21:22.960 guy that at
01:21:23.740 least I thought
01:21:24.380 was really
01:21:25.180 clearly guilty.
01:21:26.900 And I remember
01:21:27.280 thinking, I
01:21:28.080 don't know my
01:21:31.600 country.
01:21:31.980 then Monica
01:21:33.420 Lewinsky
01:21:33.820 happened, then
01:21:36.400 the Columbine
01:21:37.140 shooting happened,
01:21:38.620 we had just
01:21:39.900 come off of
01:21:40.460 Waco, we
01:21:42.820 then go into
01:21:44.380 the election
01:21:45.080 of 2000, which
01:21:46.720 was a nightmare,
01:21:47.900 into 9-11,
01:21:50.340 which brought
01:21:50.960 us together for
01:21:51.700 a very short
01:21:52.460 period of time,
01:21:53.600 and then really
01:21:55.200 started to divide
01:21:56.100 us into Iraq,
01:21:57.280 into Barack
01:21:58.180 Obama, now into
01:21:59.220 Trump.
01:21:59.960 I mean, what
01:22:00.940 has brought us
01:22:01.880 together?
01:22:03.020 We have spent
01:22:04.040 the last 20
01:22:04.860 some years,
01:22:06.080 really, as I'm
01:22:08.940 looking at it,
01:22:09.660 thinking, well,
01:22:10.740 this is why we
01:22:11.360 all feel like
01:22:11.920 crap.
01:22:13.160 What's been the
01:22:13.840 good thing about
01:22:14.540 America?
01:22:15.260 I mean, at least
01:22:15.740 in the 50s, we
01:22:16.520 were like, look
01:22:17.400 at that Cadillac.
01:22:19.620 Oh, yeah, well, I
01:22:20.820 can make a bigger
01:22:21.540 fin than that.
01:22:23.040 I mean, what
01:22:23.760 has been the
01:22:24.360 thing, you know,
01:22:25.600 even I hate to
01:22:26.400 be all, you
01:22:27.260 know, old
01:22:27.780 timey, but even
01:22:29.520 like the Beach
01:22:30.840 Boys.
01:22:32.340 Back in the
01:22:33.020 60s, everybody
01:22:34.020 else was riots.
01:22:35.560 We at least
01:22:36.060 had the Beach
01:22:36.800 Boys that were
01:22:37.360 like, hey, look
01:22:38.140 at that pretty
01:22:38.580 California girl.
01:22:40.000 And at the
01:22:40.820 time, California,
01:22:42.060 the girls weren't
01:22:43.080 all chopped up
01:22:43.980 to look like the
01:22:44.640 cat lady.
01:22:45.940 Now it's, how
01:22:46.940 dare you look at
01:22:47.740 that girl?
01:22:48.480 And how dare you
01:22:49.560 call her a girl?
01:22:50.600 She has not told
01:22:51.180 you how she
01:22:51.660 identifies, or
01:22:52.620 they identify.
01:22:54.520 By the way,
01:22:55.340 Tyler and Marley
01:22:56.020 Cardin just had
01:22:57.540 their child, and
01:22:59.020 the oppression
01:22:59.880 continues.
01:23:01.280 He announced
01:23:02.160 that it was a
01:23:02.840 baby girl, and
01:23:03.940 I said, oh,
01:23:05.060 excuse me, the
01:23:06.120 patriarchy just
01:23:07.020 doesn't stop.
01:23:08.660 You and your
01:23:09.540 cisgender norms,
01:23:12.020 let her decide,
01:23:13.980 let it decide,
01:23:15.380 because it might
01:23:16.320 be a he later
01:23:17.880 on.
01:23:18.300 Anyway, what
01:23:19.600 have we had that
01:23:20.640 has really brought
01:23:21.180 us together?
01:23:21.620 Now, we just had a
01:23:22.200 phone call from
01:23:22.660 somebody before the
01:23:23.740 break that said,
01:23:24.580 Sully, that was
01:23:28.920 a good day, where
01:23:29.920 no matter who you
01:23:31.020 were, you were
01:23:32.200 like, yeah, look
01:23:33.580 at that.
01:23:34.180 We all stood
01:23:35.200 together, and
01:23:36.560 everybody could
01:23:37.380 stand at the
01:23:37.820 bar and look at
01:23:38.320 the television, and
01:23:38.980 we all had the
01:23:39.940 same opinion.
01:23:41.440 Wow, that was
01:23:42.240 cool.
01:23:42.880 That was great.
01:23:44.300 And as we've
01:23:44.640 looked for these
01:23:45.040 moments, we've
01:23:46.060 discovered that
01:23:46.740 it's a rare one
01:23:48.160 of these that
01:23:48.780 comes out of
01:23:49.840 anything but a
01:23:50.980 tragedy, or an
01:23:52.300 almost tragedy,
01:23:53.500 and then Sully
01:23:54.020 case.
01:23:54.200 I would say, and
01:23:55.380 I think I'm
01:23:56.240 alone in this
01:23:56.800 one, but I'd
01:23:57.380 say SpaceX is.
01:23:58.940 You're definitely
01:23:59.520 not alone.
01:24:00.140 A lot of people
01:24:00.680 are bringing up
01:24:01.240 SpaceX and Elon
01:24:02.560 Musk and sort of
01:24:03.200 these big
01:24:04.420 technological space
01:24:05.500 related improvements.
01:24:06.180 Yeah, I just
01:24:06.760 think that, I mean,
01:24:07.760 it was really cool.
01:24:09.180 It wasn't just a
01:24:09.840 collective moment,
01:24:10.820 though.
01:24:11.080 It should have
01:24:11.440 been, but it
01:24:11.820 wasn't.
01:24:12.700 It was really
01:24:13.840 cool to see the
01:24:15.720 rocket go to
01:24:16.980 space and then
01:24:18.060 come back down
01:24:18.920 and land on a
01:24:19.800 platform on water.
01:24:22.020 That was like,
01:24:23.240 whoa.
01:24:23.660 You could have
01:24:25.160 put the platform
01:24:25.640 on land.
01:24:26.500 They just wanted
01:24:27.160 to show off.
01:24:27.840 Right?
01:24:28.200 And you know
01:24:28.740 what I think
01:24:29.300 we're going to
01:24:29.640 find?
01:24:30.540 And we're going
01:24:31.160 to take your
01:24:31.500 phone calls and
01:24:32.020 we're going to
01:24:32.240 go through your
01:24:32.660 tweets here in a
01:24:33.180 second.
01:24:33.740 But I will bet
01:24:34.700 you that what we
01:24:36.000 find inspiring has
01:24:38.280 nothing to do
01:24:39.800 with, you know,
01:24:42.220 big groups or
01:24:43.120 government or
01:24:43.720 anything else.
01:24:44.220 It's the
01:24:44.880 individual.
01:24:45.400 It was Sully
01:24:46.240 landing the plane.
01:24:47.160 It's Elon Musk
01:24:48.340 going, I can
01:24:49.120 go to space.
01:24:50.660 It's the
01:24:51.460 individual that
01:24:52.320 inspires us.
01:24:53.380 And isn't it
01:24:54.060 interesting that
01:24:55.240 we're all trying
01:24:56.220 to be exactly the
01:24:57.420 same and march
01:24:58.180 together, but
01:24:59.160 what we find
01:24:59.860 inspiring is the
01:25:01.820 individual.
01:25:03.740 Uh, I bet
01:25:05.020 there's something
01:25:05.460 there.
01:25:05.960 I bet there's
01:25:06.320 some universal
01:25:06.920 truth there that
01:25:07.960 we should look at.
01:25:09.080 Well, maybe not.
01:25:10.100 Let's talk about
01:25:10.920 Stormy Daniels
01:25:11.780 more.
01:25:14.160 I'll bet you
01:25:14.940 go through your
01:25:16.400 list.
01:25:16.800 So if you hear
01:25:17.460 at world of stew is
01:25:19.060 where you can tweet
01:25:19.640 these and we can go
01:25:20.860 through them.
01:25:21.880 Uh, when Elizabeth
01:25:22.880 smart was found and
01:25:24.080 rescued, that was
01:25:25.780 a big day.
01:25:26.820 Okay.
01:25:27.300 But again, all
01:25:28.040 right, hang on just
01:25:28.600 a second.
01:25:28.980 Hang on.
01:25:29.400 What do we have so
01:25:30.160 far?
01:25:30.420 We have SpaceX,
01:25:31.800 which is Elon Musk.
01:25:32.860 We have Sully, one
01:25:34.460 guy, Houston
01:25:35.540 hurricane.
01:25:36.520 That wasn't a lot of
01:25:37.580 individuals, but it
01:25:38.540 was just the
01:25:39.260 individuals.
01:25:39.720 It was people.
01:25:40.580 It wasn't the state
01:25:41.120 of Texas saying,
01:25:42.140 okay, everybody
01:25:42.880 go over here.
01:25:43.560 It was the
01:25:44.200 individual that just
01:25:45.100 got in their truck
01:25:45.720 and said, I'm going
01:25:46.200 to go help.
01:25:46.820 That was the
01:25:47.100 inspiring part of
01:25:47.880 that story.
01:25:48.400 Elizabeth smart.
01:25:49.480 What was inspiring
01:25:50.680 about that was that
01:25:51.800 she made it right
01:25:53.820 again, though, born
01:25:54.860 of tragedy.
01:25:55.660 Yes.
01:25:56.480 Which is so many of
01:25:57.460 these are three
01:25:58.660 Americans that saved
01:25:59.520 a train to Paris
01:26:00.400 again, averting
01:26:01.300 tragedy, but that
01:26:02.440 was a good one.
01:26:03.060 Yeah.
01:26:03.380 Three.
01:26:03.980 I don't know.
01:26:04.540 Well, I can't, I
01:26:05.500 don't know if I can
01:26:06.000 fully count that
01:26:06.600 because it was
01:26:07.160 followed by the
01:26:07.700 Clint Eastwood movie,
01:26:08.580 which was
01:26:08.860 that was the
01:26:12.100 310 to Paris.
01:26:13.120 Okay.
01:26:13.620 But that again
01:26:14.320 is individuals,
01:26:16.520 right?
01:26:17.340 This is an
01:26:18.060 interesting one.
01:26:18.680 That's completely
01:26:19.300 off the off the
01:26:20.920 track of some of
01:26:21.640 the others.
01:26:22.320 The eclipse last
01:26:23.640 year.
01:26:24.940 Now it is.
01:26:26.680 That was obviously
01:26:27.560 mainly silly, but
01:26:29.120 it was one of those
01:26:30.040 things where we all
01:26:31.040 did kind of walk
01:26:32.380 outside like morons
01:26:33.520 and stare at the
01:26:34.160 sun for a little
01:26:34.700 while.
01:26:35.180 It was.
01:26:36.000 I was disgusted
01:26:37.300 by it, but it
01:26:38.000 was, it did bring
01:26:38.960 people together.
01:26:39.700 It definitely, it
01:26:40.480 was a definitely a
01:26:41.140 shared experience.
01:26:42.300 I don't know if
01:26:42.720 it's a, yeah, it's
01:26:43.680 not an uplifting.
01:26:45.180 I'm looking for
01:26:46.020 things that don't
01:26:47.080 have to do with
01:26:47.980 killing somebody
01:26:48.720 like when we
01:26:49.880 killed Osama
01:26:50.940 that's one that
01:26:52.240 people suggested.
01:26:52.880 I think that was
01:26:53.260 a legitimate one,
01:26:54.700 but you know why
01:26:55.200 that was, you
01:26:55.880 know why that
01:26:56.500 was a, I don't
01:26:58.700 know if you can
01:26:59.240 say universally,
01:27:00.460 you should be able
01:27:01.660 to say universally.
01:27:02.680 Well, except for
01:27:03.140 the president who
01:27:03.820 was just like, I
01:27:04.740 don't know what
01:27:05.300 we should do.
01:27:06.460 Yeah, it took him
01:27:07.300 47 days and it
01:27:08.500 was, and Joe
01:27:09.180 Biden thought it
01:27:09.600 was the best,
01:27:10.280 most amazing
01:27:11.100 decision in 500
01:27:12.140 years.
01:27:12.900 It was like, okay,
01:27:14.300 should we kill the
01:27:15.100 worst guy ever?
01:27:16.260 Yeah, that's what
01:27:17.440 we do with them.
01:27:18.120 We got Hitler over
01:27:19.260 here.
01:27:19.560 What should we do
01:27:20.360 with him, boss?
01:27:22.460 So I don't know
01:27:24.900 if it was universal.
01:27:26.040 It was universal.
01:27:27.100 I think it was
01:27:27.880 universal in the
01:27:28.900 idea that we were
01:27:29.700 all happy that it
01:27:30.820 occurred.
01:27:31.540 Here's what I do
01:27:32.180 think was turning
01:27:32.780 into politics quickly.
01:27:33.740 Yes, here's what I
01:27:34.680 do think was
01:27:35.260 universal.
01:27:37.520 You're not coming
01:27:38.540 back.
01:27:39.420 If your plane
01:27:40.120 crashes, we're not
01:27:41.680 coming to get you.
01:27:43.200 And it was that
01:27:44.240 team that went in
01:27:46.000 against all odds
01:27:46.900 and did it.
01:27:47.900 And that was
01:27:48.180 amazing.
01:27:48.680 Yes.
01:27:48.980 how about 1987, baby
01:27:54.020 Jessica?
01:27:55.520 1987.
01:27:56.420 That was a big
01:27:56.960 story.
01:27:57.500 I want something
01:27:58.120 prior after I
01:27:59.380 wanted like 1995
01:28:00.500 plus 90 plus baby
01:28:04.020 Jessica was good.
01:28:05.020 That's the girl.
01:28:05.840 We should talk to
01:28:06.560 baby Jessica.
01:28:07.380 I bet she's not a
01:28:08.180 baby anymore.
01:28:09.200 No, she still is.
01:28:09.960 She's always going to
01:28:10.540 be baby.
01:28:11.020 Yeah.
01:28:11.620 Yeah.
01:28:11.960 Wow.
01:28:13.280 It's amazing.
01:28:13.980 What if she ever has
01:28:14.960 worn a tube top or if
01:28:16.620 that just brings back
01:28:17.580 too many bad
01:28:18.180 memories?
01:28:20.160 It's a weird joke.
01:28:22.260 I guess it would
01:28:24.680 apply.
01:28:25.920 Who said it was a
01:28:27.020 joke?
01:28:27.440 I was.
01:28:29.260 Well, when the
01:28:30.700 Caitlyn Jenner or
01:28:32.240 excuse me, Kendall
01:28:33.920 Jenner Pepsi
01:28:34.820 commercial came out,
01:28:35.600 we did all unite.
01:28:36.800 Okay.
01:28:37.040 No, I don't take
01:28:37.920 that one.
01:28:38.340 No.
01:28:41.240 Gerber choosing the
01:28:42.260 downs baby was is an
01:28:43.580 interesting.
01:28:44.240 No, I can't give you
01:28:45.300 that one.
01:28:45.740 It does not unite
01:28:46.300 everyone.
01:28:47.120 Yeah.
01:28:47.360 Remember, that's what
01:28:48.380 really kind of started
01:28:49.380 this whole thing about
01:28:50.200 we got to kill them
01:28:51.400 babies.
01:28:52.420 It's true.
01:28:53.560 The bicentennial.
01:28:54.940 Now, that's 1976.
01:28:56.220 But I will say this.
01:28:57.400 What about the year
01:28:58.800 2000?
01:29:00.580 Now, there was a
01:29:01.320 big obviously we were
01:29:02.000 all there was a
01:29:02.900 terrifying.
01:29:04.420 Yeah.
01:29:04.660 The Y2K bug was
01:29:06.360 going to kill us all.
01:29:07.000 We're all going to
01:29:07.320 die.
01:29:07.840 But I do remember
01:29:08.580 that night of a
01:29:10.780 99 into 2000 New
01:29:12.500 Year's Eve thing being
01:29:13.440 pretty special.
01:29:15.480 special, right?
01:29:16.320 A pretty amazing.
01:29:17.040 I don't know.
01:29:17.480 I was partying like it
01:29:18.240 was 1999.
01:29:18.820 I was so very drunk
01:29:20.960 that I could tell you
01:29:22.160 that I was very sober.
01:29:24.280 I can tell you that
01:29:25.480 remember being very
01:29:26.400 sick that even the
01:29:27.420 next day.
01:29:27.920 That's how I remember
01:29:28.720 starting this millennium.
01:29:30.220 It was very ill.
01:29:33.060 I don't know.
01:29:33.980 I mean, I this is
01:29:35.040 where we get a lot of
01:29:35.820 Elon Musk.
01:29:37.060 Now, people are
01:29:37.620 starting to get to the
01:29:38.580 point where I think
01:29:39.300 some of these may be
01:29:40.600 jokes like Orrin Hatch
01:29:41.920 retiring.
01:29:43.040 I don't know.
01:29:44.080 I don't know.
01:29:44.980 There was a lot of us
01:29:45.860 that came together.
01:29:46.940 I mean, and some of
01:29:48.480 them included Orrin's
01:29:49.560 family.
01:29:51.320 Yeah.
01:29:51.860 No.
01:29:52.120 OK.
01:29:52.780 The U.S.
01:29:53.320 curling team winning
01:29:54.200 their first gold medal.
01:29:55.320 No.
01:29:55.480 That was a big thing
01:29:56.280 this past year.
01:29:57.040 No.
01:29:57.200 No, I don't think
01:29:58.160 that that.
01:30:00.120 Let's see.
01:30:01.080 Let's try Lauren in
01:30:02.100 Louisiana because she
01:30:03.540 has a very different
01:30:04.600 opinion.
01:30:05.480 I think.
01:30:06.440 Go ahead, Lauren.
01:30:08.000 Hi.
01:30:09.480 I didn't expect to
01:30:10.420 get through.
01:30:11.600 Yes.
01:30:12.220 I live in
01:30:14.400 Slidell, Louisiana,
01:30:15.420 which is actually
01:30:16.120 where the eye of
01:30:17.200 Katrina hit.
01:30:18.560 OK.
01:30:20.600 And we
01:30:23.020 evacuated to
01:30:24.500 Houston.
01:30:25.480 But it was almost
01:30:27.360 like everyone in
01:30:28.360 Louisiana was
01:30:29.480 in Houston.
01:30:31.600 Everyone felt,
01:30:33.280 I guess,
01:30:33.660 the multitude
01:30:37.080 of our
01:30:40.200 local tragedy.
01:30:42.860 Yeah.
01:30:43.620 And then
01:30:44.800 subsequently after
01:30:45.840 people from all
01:30:47.520 over the country
01:30:48.240 came and
01:30:51.020 basically lived
01:30:53.860 here for months.
01:30:54.880 Yes.
01:30:55.120 I think you have a
01:30:56.080 different perspective
01:30:56.840 of Katrina because
01:30:57.800 you experienced it
01:30:58.720 from Houston.
01:30:59.520 And anybody who
01:31:00.180 experienced Katrina
01:31:01.040 in Texas has a
01:31:03.060 different view of
01:31:04.240 it because you
01:31:05.360 saw Texas come
01:31:06.880 together with
01:31:07.580 Louisiana and
01:31:08.700 everybody was again
01:31:09.880 it was it was just
01:31:10.700 like the last
01:31:11.320 hurricane.
01:31:12.440 Everybody just
01:31:13.200 piled in and did
01:31:14.600 whatever they could
01:31:15.440 to help.
01:31:16.560 But the but the
01:31:17.940 rest of the country
01:31:18.860 was was focused on
01:31:20.700 Katrina on you
01:31:21.860 know George
01:31:23.360 Bush just hates
01:31:24.160 black people and
01:31:25.660 all of that crap.
01:31:26.640 So I don't think
01:31:27.400 we had the
01:31:28.080 uniting experience
01:31:29.140 that that you
01:31:30.120 had.
01:31:30.960 Right.
01:31:31.760 And I I
01:31:33.240 guess it was you
01:31:34.500 know people from
01:31:35.520 all around the
01:31:36.080 country came to
01:31:37.640 us.
01:31:38.060 So in that
01:31:39.320 aspect yeah you
01:31:40.900 know it was
01:31:41.580 uniting but yeah
01:31:43.360 everyone that was
01:31:44.960 outside of the
01:31:47.260 area so to speak
01:31:50.120 they didn't the
01:31:53.140 news definitely
01:31:54.800 portrayed a
01:31:56.480 different picture
01:31:57.040 of who we are
01:31:59.480 and what was
01:32:00.400 happening.
01:32:01.180 Yeah.

01:32:02.300 much for your
01:32:02.800 phone call.

01:32:07.500 learning we need
01:32:08.640 to focus on some
01:32:09.480 good news from
01:32:09.980 time to time.
01:32:11.260 I think we need a
01:32:12.320 little dose of that.

01:32:14.700 about American

01:33:51.660 Glenn Beck Mercury
01:33:55.800 Glenn Beck
01:34:04.460 so I'm looking for
01:34:05.600 news things that have
01:34:06.900 happened to us that
01:34:07.860 have brought us
01:34:08.480 together and given
01:34:09.720 us joy and hope and
01:34:12.820 brought us together
01:34:13.460 as a people both
01:34:14.300 sides and you know
01:34:16.380 some people are
01:34:16.940 tweeting you know
01:34:17.740 the Star Wars
01:34:18.520 eventually the last
01:34:20.380 you know this last
01:34:21.840 run of the last
01:34:22.540 three right which
01:34:23.660 would start with the
01:34:24.200 Force Awakens right
01:34:25.300 and I would I would
01:34:26.320 go that we were
01:34:27.020 really brought
01:34:27.540 together on episode
01:34:29.300 one the prequels
01:34:30.420 right yes because we
01:34:31.640 were that was such a
01:34:33.200 gigantic event but
01:34:35.080 then we saw it and
01:34:36.820 we immediately divided
01:34:37.900 but then we reunited
01:34:40.700 against George Lucas
01:34:42.300 so you might be able
01:34:44.220 to count that but I
01:34:45.380 don't think so I
01:34:46.660 look at her things
01:34:47.360 that have given us
01:34:48.320 hope and inspiration
01:34:50.500 since 1995 because
01:34:53.360 we've just been spending
01:34:54.500 it all where are we
01:34:56.280 getting the good things
01:34:57.280 from
01:34:57.660 Glenn Beck
01:35:02.600 Mercury
01:35:03.700 you're listening to
01:35:13.380 the Glenn Beck
01:35:13.920 program
01:35:14.400 so what are the
01:35:16.280 things that have
01:35:16.760 happened since 1995
01:35:17.760 and I just picking that
01:35:19.060 date because today is
01:35:19.960 the day that we all
01:35:21.000 heard the news from
01:35:22.520 Oklahoma City and in
01:35:24.140 1995 you know we had
01:35:26.120 the the the bombing of
01:35:27.660 Oklahoma City and then
01:35:28.840 we had the verdict of
01:35:30.580 OJ Simpson and then it
01:35:32.380 just all kind of
01:35:32.960 snowballs to hell from
01:35:35.260 there and and I I put
01:35:37.560 1995 as a date where I
01:35:39.180 really started to go I
01:35:40.380 don't think I know what
01:35:41.300 my country is I don't
01:35:42.440 think I I don't think I
01:35:44.760 see things the same way
01:35:46.560 I what who am I and
01:35:48.240 who's the rest of the
01:35:49.260 country and it's been
01:35:50.700 taking knocks and chips
01:35:52.100 all the way along and
01:35:53.640 I'm trying to think of
01:35:54.340 those things that have
01:35:55.180 brought all of us
01:35:56.500 together we can find
01:35:58.780 them they're usually
01:35:59.480 tragedies nine nine
01:36:01.100 11 the next day was
01:36:02.700 an amazing day and I
01:36:04.040 think there's not a
01:36:04.760 single soul in America
01:36:06.140 that would deny that
01:36:08.440 that was one of the
01:36:09.740 best days of their
01:36:10.680 life at the same time
01:36:11.880 it was horrible we
01:36:13.820 had more hope as
01:36:14.960 people that we were
01:36:16.500 going to make it at
01:36:17.920 the same time we were
01:36:18.640 both you know we were
01:36:19.540 all going holy cow we
01:36:21.900 could be done yeah
01:36:23.420 some of that's
01:36:24.340 revisionist in that I
01:36:25.540 think I mean we were
01:36:26.940 terrified I remember
01:36:27.860 thinking we were going
01:36:28.440 to get hit by these
01:36:28.900 things like every week
01:36:29.660 yes yes yes and we
01:36:31.400 were terrified but we
01:36:32.580 also it was like the
01:36:34.400 hurricanes in Houston
01:36:35.460 people were terrified
01:36:36.600 but they came together
01:36:38.520 like you know like
01:36:39.820 nobody else Sully
01:36:40.980 terrified but he
01:36:43.260 landed the plane on the
01:36:44.940 Hudson so I think
01:36:46.680 maybe you have to have
01:36:47.740 a little bit of that
01:36:48.380 terrified I mean I can
01:36:49.520 make the case here I'm
01:36:51.220 gonna write I've got
01:36:51.800 like 18 monologues out
01:36:53.440 of this list now make
01:36:54.560 the case don't take
01:36:55.720 away the things you're
01:36:56.440 terrified if you're not
01:36:57.320 doing things that
01:36:58.100 terrify you you're
01:36:59.340 never gonna experience
01:37:00.560 the beauty you're
01:37:01.820 never gonna experience
01:37:02.660 the thrill of life if
01:37:03.960 you're not having a
01:37:04.800 conversation that is
01:37:06.880 forget safe here's an
01:37:10.660 unsafe conversation I'm
01:37:12.680 gonna kill you that's
01:37:14.240 an unsafe conversation
01:37:15.940 sure okay and I want
01:37:17.160 to know about those and
01:37:17.960 we should get you to a
01:37:19.180 safe zone an
01:37:21.200 uncomfortable conversation
01:37:23.160 is not an unsafe
01:37:24.860 conversation and it's
01:37:26.640 only when you're
01:37:27.400 uncomfortable and
01:37:28.900 sometimes when you are
01:37:30.220 unsafe that you find
01:37:31.640 out who you are and
01:37:32.600 who we are so there
01:37:34.520 was the Elizabeth smart
01:37:35.580 we found out we found
01:37:36.960 out she could
01:37:37.720 persevere people can
01:37:39.520 make it the 310 to
01:37:41.120 Paris three guys just
01:37:43.780 on holiday go up and
01:37:45.680 all of a sudden they do
01:37:46.600 a remarkable remarkable
01:37:48.020 thing I was gonna say
01:37:48.780 was it what would the
01:37:49.480 movie was what 1513 to
01:37:51.680 Paris I thought it was
01:37:53.420 the 310 to Paris
01:37:54.160 whatever it was one of
01:37:55.060 those times yeah maybe
01:37:57.180 it was 310 to Yuma I'm
01:37:58.280 remembering a different
01:37:59.000 movie anyway I don't
01:38:01.160 think the eclipse happens
01:38:02.500 although again there's a
01:38:03.820 difference between shared
01:38:04.820 cultural event yes and
01:38:06.680 what you're talking about
01:38:07.460 because then you go into
01:38:08.220 the Red Bull space dive
01:38:09.920 yeah a lot of people
01:38:10.700 suggested that the
01:38:11.700 tightrope walk yeah yeah
01:38:13.360 well that was a TV show
01:38:14.740 too and you know how
01:38:16.540 about Michael Phelps
01:38:17.320 winning a zillion medals
01:38:18.160 that was pretty big that
01:38:19.080 was big we all we all
01:38:20.300 agreed on him I think so
01:38:21.540 sending Matt Damon to
01:38:22.960 Mars I think people
01:38:23.960 leaving him on Mars
01:38:25.880 yes leaving him on Mars
01:38:27.240 yes we were all for
01:38:28.060 that people can't
01:38:29.320 challenger disaster goes
01:38:30.680 back too far before your
01:38:32.140 list but still that one
01:38:33.020 that's an example of it
01:38:34.060 I'll bring it up again
01:38:35.460 obviously Eagles beat
01:38:36.700 Patriots to win the
01:38:37.320 Super Bowl no a lot of
01:38:38.780 people suggesting that
01:38:39.500 one to me at least 2009
01:38:41.140 rescue of Captain
01:38:42.600 Phillips pretty much
01:38:44.000 every Tom Hanks movie
01:38:45.020 ever made it qualifies
01:38:46.320 for this list like what
01:38:47.840 that poor guy that was
01:38:48.920 on the island with the
01:38:50.260 volleyball take the
01:38:51.500 shot another one so
01:38:53.060 that happened Red Bull
01:38:55.180 space jump again Cubs
01:38:57.740 finally winning the
01:38:58.360 World Series I think is
01:38:59.520 qualifies again it's
01:39:01.060 sports Michael Phelps
01:39:02.580 same thing although
01:39:03.280 that's a net has a
01:39:04.020 national connotation
01:39:04.740 the Cubs after that
01:39:05.760 incredible drought
01:39:07.140 actually winning was
01:39:08.320 that was I actually got
01:39:09.320 my son up from a sound
01:39:11.400 sleep at like 11 o'clock
01:39:12.880 at night so he could sit
01:39:13.880 there and watch that the
01:39:15.620 end of that game I don't
01:39:16.820 think he has any
01:39:17.540 recollection that he was
01:39:18.800 there but he was and I
01:39:19.680 can tell him that later
01:39:20.480 that was a big but again
01:39:22.340 sports a lot of times
01:39:23.400 does this and certainly
01:39:24.660 you you brought this up
01:39:26.660 a little bit kind of
01:39:27.320 with the 912 thing a
01:39:28.360 couple days after this
01:39:29.340 President Bush stood on
01:39:31.780 the pile of ground zero
01:39:32.740 said you know the people
01:39:34.060 will knock the buildings
01:39:34.800 down I was going to say
01:39:36.080 you just did a painting
01:39:38.360 of this I just did a
01:39:39.640 painting of this what was
01:39:40.600 so amazing is mercy could
01:39:43.580 you go to my office just
01:39:44.340 grab them for me just
01:39:45.160 just grab the one of Bush
01:39:47.140 and the firefighter I
01:39:48.980 just did this and I did
01:39:49.880 it for a charity auction
01:39:51.320 for Chuck Norris and his
01:39:56.500 his kickstart kids and
01:39:58.360 what was amazing is how
01:40:01.500 many people don't didn't
01:40:05.520 know what that was and
01:40:07.060 now it could be because
01:40:08.540 I'm not the best artist
01:40:10.040 okay so I'm saying that
01:40:12.480 with a grain of salt but I
01:40:14.280 think we should post this
01:40:15.880 and then show it to
01:40:17.900 people and it's probably
01:40:20.120 my painting but I was
01:40:22.100 shocked at how many
01:40:23.100 people who were you know
01:40:25.480 30 and below were like I
01:40:28.860 don't know I don't know
01:40:29.660 who that is I don't know
01:40:30.500 what that is yeah I mean
01:40:32.300 especially when you say
01:40:33.620 when you see there's a
01:40:36.200 megaphone and a fireman's
01:40:39.140 hat just those two things
01:40:40.820 together in the same place
01:40:42.260 for anybody who lives yeah
01:40:43.960 anybody who lived through
01:40:45.240 that you know a lot of
01:40:46.720 these things though are I
01:40:47.500 mean you know you think
01:40:48.040 about the people people that
01:40:50.020 was our December 7th 1941 I
01:40:53.940 mean I saw that and I
01:40:56.680 remember clearly I hear you
01:40:59.940 America hears you and the
01:41:03.440 people who brought these
01:41:04.400 towers down they're going to
01:41:06.060 hear from all of us soon yeah
01:41:08.080 I remember that but I mean
01:41:09.860 you know think about where
01:41:11.100 we are people who were born
01:41:12.660 after 9-11 will vote in the
01:41:15.560 next presidential election
01:41:16.800 wow yeah so here's here are
01:41:19.100 the pictures so tell me I
01:41:21.100 mean and it could just be my
01:41:22.560 art I got it I got it okay
01:41:24.360 but I think because you know
01:41:25.740 that obviously what we're
01:41:26.520 going to do here is just
01:41:27.520 torture you about your art
01:41:28.680 quality for a little while
01:41:30.160 okay but so this is so I'm I
01:41:32.180 painted these this weekend for
01:41:33.800 for Chuck Norris and my kids
01:41:38.100 were like what is that now
01:41:41.540 your kids could also be
01:41:42.500 torturing you because of your
01:41:43.520 art well yes but again you
01:41:45.240 can clearly make out a
01:41:46.240 megaphone and clearly make out
01:41:47.680 a fireman and those two
01:41:49.240 things next to each other I
01:41:50.520 think you don't think that
01:41:52.060 looks like George Bush it
01:41:53.260 does but I mean remember half
01:41:54.220 of his face when you look at
01:41:55.840 it is half of its face is
01:41:56.760 covered half of its hair so I
01:41:58.720 mean you have like it's not a
01:41:59.740 the way you paint it's not like
01:42:01.180 a super detailed like yeah it's
01:42:03.460 not like detailed like the
01:42:04.420 stormy Daniel sketch you know
01:42:06.480 we're talking about no I'm
01:42:08.340 going to paint that next I'm
01:42:09.920 going to paint the stormy
01:42:11.040 Daniel I'm going to paint the
01:42:13.960 stormy Daniels guy I would
01:42:18.880 love to see your painting of
01:42:20.120 the stormy I am going to do
01:42:22.120 it that's an important work of
01:42:23.700 art you have to do that it's
01:42:26.680 going to be great you should
01:42:27.800 auction that one off for
01:42:28.760 charity who wouldn't love to
01:42:31.940 have stormy Daniels pursuer it
01:42:37.620 also strangely could double as
01:42:40.220 Tom Brady exactly yeah no I
01:42:44.880 mean I I seeing those two
01:42:47.100 things together you it's hard
01:42:49.180 for him to not bring you back
01:42:50.300 to that moment if you went
01:42:51.260 through it but so you know so
01:42:52.480 many people didn't you know
01:42:53.680 even the people who were born
01:42:54.660 before the you know five years
01:42:56.600 before that aren't going to
01:42:57.420 remember it really so you know
01:42:59.860 we obviously have history
01:43:01.720 right like I certainly
01:43:02.880 remember December 7th 1941 not
01:43:05.200 because I was there because
01:43:06.240 I've seen the footage nine
01:43:07.360 million times told me this
01:43:09.400 weekend what that told me was
01:43:11.640 we are not learning our own
01:43:14.520 history we're not teaching it
01:43:16.780 we're not showing it it's just
01:43:18.520 it happens and it's gone it
01:43:20.360 happens and it's gone December
01:43:24.200 7th 1941 I don't even know when
01:43:26.280 I first heard that I it feels
01:43:29.160 like I've always known that I
01:43:31.920 don't know how that was the
01:43:36.020 moment out of everything that
01:43:37.620 happened after September 11th I
01:43:39.760 hear you America hears you and
01:43:42.700 the people who took these towers
01:43:44.240 down are about to hear from all of
01:43:46.140 us soon that was the that was the
01:43:49.700 phrase how's that lost how is that
01:43:54.460 lost yeah that's a big moment it's
01:43:56.760 interesting a lot of the reactions
01:43:58.520 to tragedies separate them for
01:44:02.040 example mass shootings right we all
01:44:04.040 know remember very recently that the
01:44:05.540 whole David Hogg thing on MSNBC 500
01:44:07.880 million times compare that to the
01:44:09.880 Amish the way they reacted to the
01:44:12.740 mass shooting they went through or
01:44:13.840 Charles I'm putting that down
01:44:15.180 Amish and Charleston both of those
01:44:17.340 were pretty amazing Wow Amish and
01:44:20.100 Charleston those are two great ones
01:44:22.040 people really came together again
01:44:23.920 sadly caused by tragedy but I mean if
01:44:26.260 you think about the way a movie is
01:44:27.920 constructed right like you can't just
01:44:29.780 have a non-stop happy movie it's all
01:44:32.680 about that that what brings out your
01:44:34.560 emotion is the tough time that's
01:44:37.480 turned into something positive and
01:44:38.940 that's what almost all of these have
01:44:40.180 in common so you know and you know
01:44:42.420 what's so funny is Charleston were you
01:44:45.660 with me yeah weren't you yeah we went
01:44:47.560 there together so you remember we
01:44:49.500 marched and we marched with all those
01:44:50.940 people they were so they were all like
01:44:52.900 you know tea party people they were
01:44:53.980 all my fans we marched and we sang and
01:44:57.900 we we marched arm-in-arm just like
01:45:00.020 Martin Luther King and we sang do you
01:45:01.620 remember what happened when we found
01:45:02.600 we got on the plane and we found out
01:45:04.040 what had happened MSNBC stopped their
01:45:09.840 divisive coverage where they were like
01:45:12.820 and you know white and black and they
01:45:14.940 should fight and the guy stopped
01:45:17.940 because he heard us singing we walked
01:45:19.720 behind him I didn't know we did this he
01:45:21.480 was on you know the side of the street
01:45:22.960 they were live we walked and marched
01:45:25.660 behind him we were singing and he starts
01:45:27.660 to cry and he says I just what's
01:45:31.220 happening here is just remarkable and he
01:45:34.860 was not aware that it was the Glenn Beck
01:45:36.520 audience obviously he had no idea but
01:45:39.920 that's why we are not allowed to enjoy
01:45:42.400 those moments because we just assume the
01:45:45.400 worst and we keep just playing the
01:45:48.800 political game it's black and white rich
01:45:53.080 and poor left and right it's not that's
01:45:58.060 we have to stop and look at the good
01:46:03.200 things because those are the things that
01:46:06.440 get us through for me I can get through
01:46:09.280 anything if I know I got a team behind me
01:46:12.860 I've got people behind me I have people
01:46:14.580 but if you're like I'm the only one I'm
01:46:17.300 the I'm the only one it's just me and my
01:46:21.560 family or it's just I'm the only one
01:46:23.040 that gets it here I'm the only one saying
01:46:24.580 this everybody else is crazy you get
01:46:28.540 discouraged really fast yeah we should
01:46:31.580 probably get to a point as humanity that
01:46:34.940 we aren't so in need of other people I
01:46:39.960 think a lot of times that Japanese are
01:46:41.680 working on that it's called a sex robot
01:46:43.520 strangely they've been working on it
01:46:48.780 for a very long time I don't know why
01:46:51.580 but the Japanese got us covered on that
01:46:53.840 I would say it was precisely where I was
01:46:55.900 going with that but I think it's a good
01:46:57.220 place to leave it yeah all right thank
01:46:58.760 you let me tell you about gold line you
01:47:02.440 know enough of this happy talk listen to
01:47:05.440 this one Stu have you heard this stat
01:47:10.100 chapter 11 bankruptcies highest level
01:47:15.380 since 2011 it's not just brick and mortar
01:47:19.080 anymore in fact new chapter 11 bankruptcies
01:47:22.900 in the US have spiked 63 percent in the
01:47:27.500 last 12 months wow no I've not heard that
01:47:31.060 yeah that that's kind of a problem that's
01:47:35.340 kind of a problem yeah seems like it we
01:47:38.060 are you know if you if you read anything
01:47:39.900 about the market I'm expecting a melt up
01:47:43.880 but it could be wrong with with trade and
01:47:47.380 everything else a melt up is when the
01:47:51.020 market just spikes really high and you could
01:47:53.780 see the market going to 30 40 or even 50
01:47:57.040 thousand and then it just crashes that's
01:47:58.820 what happened in 1929 people are saying
01:48:02.040 that maybe we've already hit the melt up
01:48:04.260 you know 10,000 to 25,000 was that spike I
01:48:08.680 don't know I do know this you need to hedge
01:48:11.500 your bet you don't want to be all in on
01:48:13.600 anything hedge your bet because the world
01:48:17.640 is unstable and financing is unstable just
01:48:22.160 our relationship with what's happening with
01:48:23.860 China and Russia in the United States
01:48:26.260 just with trade and sanctions it could be
01:48:30.020 devastating to our economy you want to
01:48:33.440 make sure you hedge your bet the best way
01:48:35.180 to do that I think is gold gold line the

01:49:24.700 Glenn Beck
01:49:33.300 let's go to Kurt in Florida hello Kurt you're on the
01:49:36.080 Glenn Beck program
01:49:36.720 morning guys
01:49:38.600 how are you
01:49:39.480 different perspective on all of this
01:49:41.340 all right
01:49:41.760 thanks
01:49:42.260 the way I see it in the last 25 years and
01:49:46.280 I'm in your age group I was born in 1970
01:49:48.680 we've seen more countries flip themselves
01:49:52.280 upside down inside out twist themselves
01:49:55.060 into multiple knots and come to near
01:49:58.280 collapse and in the last 12 years alone
01:50:03.220 America has done that at least five separate
01:50:06.180 times and we are still America
01:50:08.740 no it's amazing
01:50:09.680 still American people we are still the
01:50:12.180 American culture I don't believe for two
01:50:14.920 seconds that we actually have a culture
01:50:17.560 problem we do have a culture war there are
01:50:20.200 people trying to destroy our culture for
01:50:22.280 sure but we don't have a problem we just
01:50:25.440 have too many cameras trying to promote a
01:50:28.100 problem I will give you Kurt that if we
01:50:30.440 didn't have the social media and the
01:50:33.340 cameras with a 24-7 I don't think we would
01:50:36.300 be having the problems that we're having
01:50:38.420 now I will give you that thanks for your
01:50:40.240 call it is we have become addicted to
01:50:42.900 outrage we some reason another we want to
01:50:45.420 be outraged I don't I'm tired I'm really
01:50:47.680 tired of it I want to be happy I just want
01:50:50.560 to go help people I want to do the right
01:50:52.420 people I disagree with and then find the
01:50:54.260 way to each other and move on with our
01:50:56.740 lives that's that's kind of where I'm
01:50:58.740 at and I think if it wasn't for so social
01:51:00.680 media and 24-hour networks you know
01:51:04.280 constantly looking to fill I think we
01:51:06.700 would be a different nation Janet in
