Walmart and the New York Times are pushing for corporations to usurp the role of the United States government, but it definitely doesn t mean that they want everybody's guns to be taken. And I think the scariest story I have ever read is about a company that has developed an algorithm that can actually read the neurons in your head and attach words to them.
00:00:00.000Thank you so much, Hillary. It's good to be back in Dallas. We have quite a show for you today.
00:00:10.120We're going to start with Walmart and the New York Times pushing for corporations just to usurp the role of the United States government because they think that it's important.
00:00:27.060But it definitely doesn't mean that they want everybody's guns to be taken.
00:00:31.100And I think the scariest story I have ever read, especially because yesterday we talked about BCI.
00:00:41.400Do you remember that? That is the new Zuckerberg, Elon Musk direction where they have developed an algorithm that can actually read the neurons in your head and attach words to those.
00:00:56.680So they can literally read your mind and then they can nudge you one way or another without you even knowing it.
00:01:06.000And this is something that Zuckerberg thinks is a good deal. It's called neurocapitalism.
00:01:13.520Well, that was yesterday. Wait until you hear today what they're talking about in the White House coming up.
00:01:20.680I can understand if you are a business and people came into your business and just massacred people, how that would affect you and how you would say, we've got to do something.
00:02:17.220You know, at home you have blinds over the windows for a pretty good reason.
00:02:20.520You don't want to be on display. You want some privacy.
00:02:23.120But for some reason, we're OK with it on the Internet.
00:02:26.200We're OK with everything being watched, being tracked.
00:02:28.820You don't want to be watched while you're connected to Wi-Fi, because on the Internet, some companies will track you and use that information to send ads or to invade our online experience.
00:02:41.160You know, when they're listening to you and they, you know, they used to say they're not.
00:02:44.240Now, Apple even admitted, was it Apple or Amazon, that they were listening to people in intimate moments, if you if you will, in the bedroom.
00:02:54.920And they were letting vendors listen and laugh.
00:03:03.060Here's the here's the reason why you need Norton Secure VPN.
00:03:07.140If you want to stop people listening in, you want to stop people from tracking you, you want to make sure that your information is your information.
00:06:45.020No, that was room 222, I think is what you were talking about.
00:06:50.440Yeah, the Alaska thing, too, was essentially their point, right?
00:06:54.160Like, they only had them in Alaska because it was the one place where they just, that was like the last place they decided to sell them, and now they're even pulling them out of Alaska.
00:07:03.760Huge mass shooting problem in Alaska, apparently.
00:07:59.420A, you think it's beneath you to shop at Walmart.
00:08:02.300B, you've been against their policies because there's a big, you know, it's a big box store, and so they're hurting their workers, and they won't unionize, and all of this crap.
00:08:15.800And I will tell you that if you shop at Walmart after this, you are only going to aid all of the other industries that are going to do the same thing.
00:08:27.840Here's the thing the founders never thought of.
00:08:29.860The founders never considered that corporations could become bigger than the government.
00:08:36.140The Constitution and the Bill of Rights says what the government cannot ever do, but it doesn't say what a corporation can and cannot do.
00:08:50.780I want corporations to be able to do what they want to do.
00:08:53.960If Walmart wants to do this, Walmart should be able to do this.
00:08:57.180The problem is there is a guy at the New York Times that is coordinating a lot of this, is openly advocating for all corporations, anyone in the chain of supply.
00:09:10.180That's truckers, shippers, gun manufacturers, gun sales, credit card companies, banks, anybody who touches a gun at all in any way to stop providing services.
00:10:13.400They still are selling guns are the only ones doing it in this in this retail group.
00:10:17.820So it's a tough one because they actually are doing more even now just to get guns to people in America than, you know, Target is or any of their other main competitors.
00:10:53.820And they would, you know, one of these companies would pull their advertising from the show or whatever.
00:10:58.760I mean, it was was a lot more rare than was reported, but occasionally did happen.
00:11:03.320And so one of these companies would pull their advertising and our listeners who are awesome would decide, like, I'm going to essentially punish them and go out and call them like crazy and make a big deal about it online.
00:11:16.480And it was all like motivated by really good things.
00:11:18.620And it was like we were cheering it on internally.
00:11:21.700Like, there's a part of you that's just like, yes, absolutely.
00:11:24.660However, there are multiple thousands of companies that avoid these shows completely because of issues like that, because they know if if something happens and they feel like they need to pull their advertising, they're going to be the ones singled out, even though they were the ones that were actually advertising on the show.
00:12:24.740Walmart is different because it's right in the heart of America.
00:12:28.520Yeah, it should understand the heart of America and it's the biggest retailer out there.
00:12:35.620So you have you have Walmart doing this.
00:12:38.780If they don't feel any pain from this, it makes everyone else what I'm worried about.
00:12:45.320And I've been saying this for what, two years, the banks, once the banks get involved and they say they're not going to loan money to gun manufacturers,
00:12:57.820they're not going to loan money to gun stores, they're not going to allow credit cards to be used to buy guns or bullets.
00:14:00.720So that sort of thing could actually happen with guns where, you know, look, the marijuana business is still thriving, but it's a parallel economy, right?
00:14:10.520It's something it's completely outside of the main system again.
00:14:14.900And is this a good thing, by the way, if you actually care about gun violence, is it a good thing that all of these transactions are now going to happen in cash?
00:14:22.060Like is that is that is this something you're excited about?
00:14:23.900Well, the ramifications of these dumb decisions are never considered until afterwards.
00:15:01.080But let me share with you what I shared with you yesterday.
00:15:05.020First, about something called BCI and then what the Trump administration has brought back to the table as a possible solution.
00:15:15.000It is it is the beginning of the police state.
00:15:22.160In no uncertain terms, I'll give it to you here in just a second.
00:15:32.740Somewhere in America, within the sound of my voice, there's a there's a man in a department store pulling a calfskin card case from his back pocket.
00:15:40.160He pays in cash, though, because he likes to deal in cash wherever he can.
00:15:44.700And that card case with the rough hands holding it says about as much as him and as the man is the pair of to cove his boots on his feet.
00:16:15.840That's why he wears to Cova's boots, because they mean something more than just covering your feet.
00:16:21.180Check out to Cova's today and you're going to get a really, really nice free calfskin, soft leather card case, all hand stitched in bourbon color.
00:16:31.200Can we come up with another color than bourbon?
00:16:33.960As an alcoholic just makes me uncomfortable.
00:16:36.060With any $150 purchase that you make, you get this.
00:17:17.740I've been telling you for a while that we are entering a brave new world and that we must have these conversations now and discuss right now what we're willing to accept and what we're not willing to accept.
00:17:45.640Because as they're rolled out, if you don't really think about it, they're just going to be rolled out and everybody will accept it and then everything will be fine until it's not.
00:20:38.480The Trump administration is considering a proposal that would use Google, Amazon, and Apple to collect data on users who exhibit characteristics of mental illness that could lead to violent behavior.
00:20:54.080The proposal is part of an initiative to create a health advanced research projects agency, or HARPA.
00:21:03.640It would be located inside the health and human services department.
00:21:07.620The new agency would have a separate budget, and the president would be responsible for ordering its director.
00:21:15.540HARPA would take after Defense Advanced Research Project Agency, or DARPA, which serves as the research arm for the Pentagon.
00:21:24.620Now, this idea was first crafted and presented to the White House in 2017, but it failed to gather any ground.
00:22:07.800They're now looking at your Apple Watch and Amazon Echo and Google Home to listen to see if you have any disturbing patterns that the government should be aware of.
00:22:21.120America, it's time to stop talking about the stupid, silly things and see the writing on the wall and decide who are we and where are we going.
00:22:38.040Yesterday, I got a lot of flack, apparently, because I suggested that you should taunt your pet cat with a MyPillow dog bed, which is on sale now for $19.99 at MyPillow.com.
00:22:52.040And now lots of stuff on sale, but the new radio listener specials, you just click on that, use the promo code back and you're going to see a lot.
00:23:00.000And look, okay, I mean, I guess I could be a little more sensitive.
00:23:06.520If you own a cat, by all means, let it sleep on the MyPillow dog bed.
00:23:13.280You know, just remember to passive-aggressively remind it every day that it's one lucky cat because that's a dog bed.
00:23:19.180And if you were just a dog, you'd get one of these named after you, but you're not.
00:24:50.400And who decides this, like, Mark Zuckerberg and that goofy, whatever his name is at Google, and the Apple people are going to tell us whether or not we're stable enough to own a gun?
00:25:06.060I don't trust them to make that decision.
00:25:09.040My family is so unbelievably sarcastic.
00:25:12.400I mean, we can go for—Pat, you and I are like this.
00:25:17.200We can go for two hours without saying something—
00:28:44.600You know, the thing that I said right after 9-11 was the difference between America and the rest of the world is that Americans still trust each other.
00:29:36.160So when Google was protesting, the Google employees were protesting a couple of weeks back, and they were saying, Google shouldn't be giving the information to ICE about who's here illegally.
00:29:49.480And I thought to myself, wait, when did that start?
00:29:59.620They're pretty much, they're close to being the government at this point.
00:30:03.080You know, I said this earlier, and Stu kind of looked at me kind of strangely, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on this, Stu, and yours, Pat.
00:30:10.480I don't know if the government ever saw a time where the government would be taking a back seat.
00:30:16.520Oh, you said the founders did not foresee.
00:30:20.800You said the founders, one thing the founders didn't see was that the corporations would get bigger than the government.
00:30:27.240Yeah, meaning these governments, Google would have more power, more information than the United States government, that they could usurp the rights of man, and the government couldn't do anything about it.
00:30:44.400Yeah, I don't think I agree with that.
00:30:46.760I mean, you know, I think they would always see, and one of the things that's interesting about the Google part of this is that one of the limitations of the government is they usually can't do these things competently, right?
00:31:30.460They also can put you in digital prison.
00:31:35.360I mean, look, if you're not allowed to, if you're searching for somebody and they just are not found anywhere,
00:31:44.080you're not online, you're not online, you have no digital footprint, I mean, I say hurrah for you, but you have no digital footprint, you've been completely erased.
00:31:53.880If you include, like, firearms, now the government will say, you know what, he buys firearms, we're not going to let him use any of our banking services.
00:32:04.980This is, honestly, the mark of the beast, you know, we always thought it was just something to read, you know, a scanner to be able to let you in.
00:32:15.360How about the mark of the beast being planted in your forehead, being something like BCI, where it is actually reading your mind and allowing you to go online?
00:32:28.700I mean, we're in the territory now to where I never understood as a kid how you couldn't buy or sell, you couldn't do anything anywhere on Earth in the days of the mark of the beast.
00:40:00.940I'm also interested in the fact that, you know, how many times have we said something so agonizing that blood's going to start shooting out of your eye?
00:43:07.060I thought only if the government could just control more of our lives, maybe we could be as great as California.
00:43:16.180Maybe we could have, you know, the Black Plague return to our streets.
00:43:20.460Maybe we could have homelessness and people crapping on the streets.
00:43:23.980And there was a really sweet, sweet article that I read this morning about a little girl who her parents thought she were dreaming and making things up because they looked outside her window and they didn't see anything.
00:43:35.900And she's like, no, I, I'm telling you, mom and dad, somebody was crapping on our roof of our car.
00:50:28.720This is a mental thing to where he seems to be losing his mental agility.
00:50:35.180And do you think it would be a minor passing issue if Donald Trump, in the middle of a debate, started with two eyes that were white and then by the end one of them was red?
00:50:44.980Do you think the coverage would be a tad different than what's going on with Joe Biden where people are not even acknowledging it, basically?
00:52:15.720Like, the only person who you'd see who could really compete with her in her current environment is Sanders because Sanders is the only one who can get to her left.
00:52:24.160And if you notice, Sanders doesn't do anything about Elizabeth Warren.
00:52:28.060They have they have a agreed upon truce that's been widely reported.
00:52:32.240So she's not facing any criticism right now.
00:52:35.700If you are, let's say you're Joe Biden, the thing you can't do is come out and say, well, you know what the problem is?
00:52:45.240No one can criticize her right now because she's found her spot all the way to the left.
00:52:49.600The only people who are doing it are like, well, it's look, I know what she's saying, but that's not realistic.
00:52:54.240And that just makes you look like you're not trying hard enough or you don't have big enough vision.
00:52:58.420In a primary, it's really hard to win that way.
00:53:01.940So Elizabeth Warren is in a nice spot where she basically can't be criticized and she can criticize all of her opponents at will because she can get to all of their left with the exception of Bernie Sanders, who she has a truce with.
00:53:16.660So, well, of course, she's doing well in an environment in which she's not facing any counterfire.
00:53:21.100But tell me what Donald Trump would do to somebody who said this.
00:53:56.980And I'm going to help and I'm going to support.
00:53:58.540So I'm going to help support, you know, cheeseburger bans, light bulb bans, because the question was, should the government be involved in light bulbs and regulation of light bulbs?
00:54:41.860When you go into a restaurant and they don't give you a straw, they're just trying to tell you they like the environment.
00:54:45.620It has nothing to do with the environment.
00:54:46.880We all know that the statistic that they're basing these straw bans on was made by a nine-year-old, literally a nine-year-old, a nine-year-old who called a bunch of straw companies as part of a school project.
00:54:59.580And that is why this straw ban is going on, a nine-year-old.
00:55:03.800So this is not something that any scientist would tell you is doing anything.
00:58:14.800But, yes, and this is something I've taken on in California.
00:58:17.000I have a history of working on this issue.
00:58:18.660And to your point, we have to just acknowledge that the residual impact of fracking is enormous in terms of the impact on the health and safety of communities.
00:59:20.880The balance that we have to strike here, frankly, is about what government can and should do around creating incentives and then banning certain behaviors.
00:59:31.560I mean, just to be very honest with you, I love cheeseburgers from time to time.
00:59:36.680And I think that but there is but there has to be also what we do in terms of creating incentives that we will eat in a healthy way, that we will encourage moderation and that we will be educated about the effect of our eating habits on our environment.
00:59:52.120And we have to do a much better job of that.
00:59:53.960And the government has to do a much better job of that.
00:59:59.760My eye will start to bleed like Joe Biden's if this isn't a if this isn't the the predictions made in Agenda 21 where they control absolutely everything.
01:00:14.440If they control health care, they have a reason to get in and say, well, we have a right to look at what you're eating and how you're exercising.
01:00:51.180The government doesn't have any place in that because the government doesn't have any place in our health insurance.
01:00:56.200However, if they're providing the health insurance, they have every right to control everything in your life.
01:01:04.000If they're giving you, quote unquote, health insurance.
01:01:07.200Why should we pay for the people who are fat and eating too much?
01:01:13.720Yeah, I mean, they're disposable people, really.
01:01:16.700I'm actually torn on this, too, as to whether these things are good or not, because part of me thinks, yeah, gosh, you believe the government is like wanting to.
01:01:24.980They're going to track down how many cheeseburgers you eat and change your health insurance rates over it.
01:02:32.200Most people are, like, they want what they want.
01:02:35.460They would prefer not to have all of those side effects of, you know, if you're on the left global warming, if you're on the right, it might be animal stuff or whatever it is.
01:02:43.700Like, you'd prefer, right, if you could get it for the same cost and get the same protein and the same taste.
01:03:46.700But the idea that in the end, we're going to have an independent energy source that could be cheaper and clean, that's just a fantastic development for everybody.
01:03:55.280And, of course, conservatives cheer it on.
01:04:18.460Anybody remember back in the ancient foggy mists of about two weeks ago when people were throwing themselves out of windows because of the negative yield curve?
01:04:27.900Remember how that was a sure sign we're headed for a recession?
01:04:32.520Well, it's not a sure sign, but let me tell you what it is.
01:04:34.660When the yield curve is zero or negative, it means that banks can't make enough money by lending money, so they stop lending money.
01:04:43.820Now, that's bad news for people, whether it ends up in a recession or not.
01:15:32.980There are two parts of buying a house.
01:15:34.920The fun part and then the not so fun part.
01:15:37.920The fun part is going in, seeing all the houses, making plans, you know, designing the look of your future in your head as you walk through all the rooms.
01:15:44.340The not so fun part is actually selling your house, doing all of the paperwork, all the stress of what to offer for the new house.
01:15:53.880Are they going to accept what to list your house for?
01:16:14.780We took the best practices of what makes a great real estate agent, the things that I didn't know, but I learned from the 500 best real estate agents in the country, according to the Wall Street Journal.
01:16:26.020I started doing work with them and I just started asking them, so what's best practice?
01:16:31.200Well, we found those real estate agents.
01:16:33.020We have a list of a thousand of them and it's free.
01:16:35.560All you have to do is just go to realestateagentsitrust.com.
01:16:38.280They will respond to you within minutes and you'll be able to interview them and see that they actually have a plan to sell your home or to help you buy a new home.
01:17:08.280So, as we are talking about the things that we can do, you know, to save the planet from global warming, last night the Democrats showed how extreme they were from talking about controlling light bulbs, straws, cheeseburgers, designing incentives, which means taxes or other things, to get people to eat less meat and to eat healthier.
01:17:34.780Here is the candidate, Yang, who wants to buy fossil fuel engines back.
01:17:52.140Well, there will still be some legacy gas guzzlers on the road for quite some time because this is not a country where you're going to, like, take someone's, you know, like, clunker away from them.
01:18:02.840But you are going to offer to buy the clunker back and help them upgrade.
01:18:07.560So we can do cash for clunkers part two.
01:18:32.540And, you know, look, this is the idea that you're going to force somebody to do this is becoming less and less un-American, it feels like.
01:18:41.240When you look at the people where they're on the stage last night, why would you think it's un-American to force people to have to sell things and change their lives and force them out of their gas guzzlers?
01:20:18.660You put a human into a system that is driving as fast as those electric cars will go, you're going to screw it up.
01:20:26.500And so what's going to happen, you're not going to have to ban them.
01:20:31.900What you're going to do is people are just going to go, you can't drive on this road, and it will make total sense because you can't react fast enough to get into the stream unless you're part of the system.
01:20:53.120You look at Handmaid's Tale, which made all this big impact over the past couple of years, and the big takeaway from the left is, well, Donald Trump is evil.
01:21:03.000And they're going to implement this because they want women to be under the thumb of men, and they're going to do all these horrible things to women.
01:21:08.600That's like the liberal sort of fantasy land, why they love that show so much.
01:21:12.960But you could watch that show very much in the idea of looking at it as a tech police state.
01:21:45.480They have, they've already shelved it once.
01:21:47.760They've brought it back now to have Google, Amazon Echo, and your Apple Watch monitor you so they can know if you're unstable and you should be taken to a hospital and your guns should be removed.
01:28:13.840Well, that's not good enough because he didn't recognize homophobia.
01:28:19.100And so, he was being very, very unfeeling to all gays because he wouldn't recognize the homophobia and the bravery that it takes to come out.
01:28:31.800Okay, maybe it takes bravery to come out, and especially in some, you know, communities or some families, and I recognize that.
01:28:41.080But the rest of us feel like Kevin Hart.
01:28:52.060You want to hear, you want to hear about, yeah, you know, when my wife and I start to feel a little randy, you don't, okay, shut up, shut up, shut up, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
01:31:29.420Yeah, because it depends on the movie, right?
01:31:31.740Like, if you have a movie that's like an action movie or a horror movie, the critics' reviews usually aren't that important because—
01:31:39.900Yeah, so if I'm going to a Jane Austen movie, maybe I'll listen to the critics.
01:31:44.240Yeah, I think a lot of times you find, you know, certain, like, dramas and indie films and stuff, you can tell a lot from the critics, I think.
01:31:53.060And you could also tell a lot from the politics of it.
01:31:55.340I mean, it's very—if the politics are bad—when I say bad, I mean bad to the left.
01:32:01.780If the politics of the movie can be interpreted that way, you can guarantee a negative percentage from critics because that's what they will see in it.
01:32:09.900It's almost like if you were to watch a funny show, a funny comedian—this happens all the time with conservatives—a funny movie, but the messaging is constantly berating you over the head with, you know, global warming or whatever left-wing cause they're pushing.
01:32:25.080And the same thing happens to critics.
01:32:26.440They are hardcore leftists, generally, and they get these—they watch these movies, and all they see is Ronald Reagan isn't treated like Hitler?
01:32:52.940What's interesting about this one in particular, Glenn, is that Chappelle does this stuff all the time.
01:32:58.240Like, all of Chappelle's specials have these types of moments in them where he's being critical of the culture in a way that, you know, your average CNN pundit would not be comfortable with.
01:33:09.060You know, it's the same thing with Louis C.K.
01:33:10.600And, you know, there's a whole—the people who are the real legends of current comedy, and both of Chappelle and Louis C.K. would be in that category, they are all comfortable going into those areas where you're not supposed to go, which is what makes them great, you know, partially.
01:33:29.020They're also technicians of what they do, but that's part of it.
01:34:03.580And he's absolutely brilliant, but he's not political at all, but that's who he is.
01:34:11.340And he's not saying anything really controversial, except, yeah, I'm fat and I don't mind, and I don't mind.
01:34:18.100And where Chappelle is, you know, we're starting to see the beginnings of a Lenny Bruce, where you're getting these guys who are taking the establishment on.
01:34:31.360And that has always been that way, but it wasn't until recently that the left was the establishment.
01:34:39.120And they don't want you to take it on.
01:36:25.000And in all those stories, I got to say, not one of them has ever mentioned anything like their father smashing a dollhouse over their head.
01:37:38.940But you see, what I didn't realize at the time and what Kevin had to learn the hard way is we were breaking an unwritten and unspoken rule of show business.
01:37:48.540And if I say it, you'll know that I'm telling you the truth.
01:37:50.900The rule is that no matter what you do in your artistic expression, you are never, ever allowed to upset the alphabet people.
01:38:09.900Those people that took 20% of the alphabet for themselves.
01:38:17.440I'd say the letters, but I don't want to conjure their anger.
01:38:20.900I mean, it is amazing that that stuff is being said by someone who, by the way, was absolutely revered without exception by the left as of two weeks ago.
01:44:24.760Yeah, I don't know if we have time to get to her the rest of her comments, but maybe we could do that after the break because it was actually jarring.
01:44:33.280And you realize how far the left has gone when her statements, which are very innocuous, are jarring to you.
01:44:40.400I mean, from a presidential candidate, it should not be hard to dig up a Democrat out of a 25, 26 person field that will say basically generally nice and encouraging things about faith.
01:49:57.740The map thing, because he said it was headed towards Alabama when one of the maps early on looked like it was kind of headed towards Alabama.
