The Glenn Beck Program - The SJW Media： Banning Guns Through Banks and Credit Cards ｜ Guests： Bill O’Reilly & Dave Rubin ｜ 9⧸6⧸19

00:00:00.000 Thank you very much. That is a very interesting podcast. More people are starting to wake up.

00:00:10.660 Let me talk to you a little bit about American financing. Home buying season is here. We're in

00:00:16.300 the last few throws of it where it's really active. Real estate conditions have looked

00:00:22.720 excellent for much of the country. Equity is on the rise. Rates are low. Prices are affordable.

00:00:28.000 It could be that your dream home is within reach, whether it's your first home,

00:00:32.460 your next home, or your forever home. And in 10 minutes, you can start the pre-approval process.

00:00:37.920 May I recommend American financing? American financing. I have known these people for years.

00:00:43.820 They're family owned and operated. They receive stellar ratings from customers just like you.

00:00:48.680 You'll work with knowledgeable professionals who are salary-based. They're genuinely in it for you.

00:00:54.540 This is the year to start building equity and enjoying the many benefits of home ownership.

00:00:59.220 Take advantage of today's real estate prices. Inventory is good. American financing are the

00:01:05.860 people that I recommend. You do your own homework, you'll end up with American financing.

00:01:11.180 Americanfinancing.net. 800-906-2440. Americanfinancing.net.

00:01:15.720 American financing. The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:36.460 We're going to start with a twisty tale. Stick with me on this one. May seem like we're headed one

00:01:48.340 direction, but you may be surprised where we end up. Guns and credit card companies. In one minute.

00:01:58.820 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:00.880 Don't know if you know this or not, but when you go to buy a house, you end up with a stack

00:02:07.120 of paperwork somewhere in the neighborhood of about 8,000 pages long. And it's about as

00:02:13.260 complex and as good for you as the Treaty of Versailles. In the old days, people, I think,

00:02:20.840 would have died before they would have completed all of this paperwork. But it's not like that

00:02:25.940 anymore. That was the age of feudalism. And now we have computers and attorneys and real estate

00:02:32.640 agents that do all of that. Oh, isn't that great? Nowadays, we have real estate agents that do the

00:02:37.720 majority of all of the complex stuff. But you have to have a good one. You have to know that your real

00:02:42.760 estate agent is on your side and that you can trust them. So why a number of years ago, my wife

00:02:47.800 and I started realestateagentsitrust.com. The name says it all. What we did is we took the best

00:02:54.340 practices that make a great real estate agent. And then we used that as our template. And so we

00:03:00.140 hired a lot of agents using that as the template. Is this how you do business? Let me see your track

00:03:05.800 record. Since then, thousands of them, many of them coming from this audience have joined us. We have

00:03:12.900 5,000 agents on a waiting list that we are vetting. And in case one of the other agents doesn't work out

00:03:20.800 and starts to not live up to his or her promise, we monitor them all the time. We have somebody else

00:03:29.040 to replace them. We don't have a buttload. We have about 1000 of them across the country. We want to

00:03:35.740 make sure that we are only presenting you with the best agent in your area. It's free service. All you

00:03:42.180 have to do is just go to realestateagentsitrust.com. And they will help line you up with the real estate

00:03:47.640 agent in your area that is the best. It's realestateagentsitrust.com. So whether you're

00:03:52.520 buying or selling a home, realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:04:08.200 It was September 25th, 2017. Stephen Paddock checked into a room on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay

00:04:15.280 Hotel in Las Vegas. He had 10 range bags full of guns and ammunition. And six days later,

00:04:22.260 he opened fire on the people on Route 91 at the Harvest Music Festival. He killed 85 people. He

00:04:30.440 wounded 851 others in what is the deadliest mass shooting committed by one person in U.S.

00:04:37.120 history. And then he killed himself. When police investigated, they found 23 rifles and one

00:04:46.600 handgun, 14 .223 caliber AR-15 type rifles, 8 .308 AR-10 type rifles, one .308 caliber bolt

00:04:57.360 action rifle, and one .38 caliber revolver. On the kitchen counter next to his hotel room key,

00:05:04.300 there were four credit cards. Now, I want you to listen to Andrew Ross Sorkin. He's certain

00:05:15.080 that there is a correlation between mass shootings and the credit cards. Listen.

00:05:21.460 After Parkland, the shooting in Parkland, and trying to look at the role that banks and credit

00:05:26.840 cards play in these things, I really decided to take a deep dive into this. The article is called

00:05:33.000 Devastating Arsenals Bought with Plastic and Nary a Red Flag. It is a New York Times investigation

00:05:38.560 that looks at mass shootings, every single major mass shooting in America since Virginia Tech

00:05:43.000 in 2007. And it really reveals how credit cards have become such a crucial part of the planning

00:05:48.180 of these massacres in a way that I have to say I did not even appreciate myself.

00:05:53.040 So, you know, he is becoming much more of an activist than a reporter. He wrote the article

00:06:01.180 how banks unwittingly finance mass shootings in the New York Times. We have some problems

00:06:05.960 with the article, and I'll get to those here in just a second. But let me look at his point

00:06:09.260 first. He starts by pointing out that there have been 13 shootings that killed 10 or more

00:06:14.260 people in the last decade. And in at least eight of them, the killers financed their attacks

00:06:19.820 using credit cards. Virginia Tech. Virginia Tech in 2007. Binghamton in 2009. Fort Hood,

00:06:28.240 09. Aurora, 12. San Bernardino, 2015. Orlando, 16. Sutherland Springs, 17. Las Vegas, 17. He points

00:06:37.040 out that over the course of eight months before the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, that shooting,

00:06:44.280 the shooter opened six new credit card accounts. Just 12 days before the shooting,

00:06:49.820 he spent $26,000 on a Sig Sauer MCX 223 caliber rifle, a Glock 17 9mm semi-automatic pistol

00:07:01.660 and several large magazines, thousands of rounds of ammunition, and a $7,500 ring for

00:07:07.640 his wife that he bought on a jewelry store credit card. Before then, he had spent only $1,500

00:07:14.040 a month on average. Now, the difference is so dramatic that he panicked. According to Sorkin,

00:07:21.380 just two days before the shooting, frantically, he was searching Google for credit card unusual

00:07:27.520 spending. Credit card reports all three bureaus, FBI, and why banks stop your purchases. Now,

00:07:35.440 the shooter in Aurora, Colorado, the movie theater shooter, spent $11,000 on guns and ammunition,

00:07:40.760 ammunition, and that was all on a credit card. The issue has revealed a split among the banks and

00:07:47.600 credit card companies. On one side, there are companies that support monitoring as a form of

00:07:52.440 public safety. Following the shooting in Parkland, Florida, Citigroup adopted a new code of conduct for

00:07:58.480 gun dealers and manufacturers the bank does business with. It requires retailers to impose

00:08:04.380 age restrictions on gun sales. Wouldn't have helped. CEO Michael Corbett said the policies intended to

00:08:13.900 preserve the rights of responsible gun owners like myself, while relying on best sales practices to

00:08:20.060 keep firearms out of the wrong hands. Now, the new policy does not restrict Citigroup customers from

00:08:25.500 using the company's cards for gun purchases. Bank of America took a similar approach when they stopped

00:08:31.640 giving loans to manufacturers of certain kinds of semi-automatic rifles sold to civilians.

00:08:40.760 Overwhelmingly, though, the banks and credit card companies have refused to take part in any sort of

00:08:45.740 monitoring. This week, the New York Times is reporting that's because of conservative pressure.

00:08:52.240 Wells Fargo, the CEO there, said, I don't think it's a good idea for banks to decide what products and

00:08:57.200 services Americans can buy. It shouldn't be up to me, to us. We don't decide that. It should be up to the

00:09:03.500 folks following the laws and the folks making the decision. Wells Fargo CFO, John Shrewsbury, said the

00:09:11.120 best way to make progress on these issues is through political and legislative process. Visa said, we don't

00:09:18.060 believe Visa should be in the position of setting restrictions on the sale of lawful goods or services,

00:09:22.360 asking Visa or other payment networks to arbitrate what legal goods can be purchased sets a dangerous

00:09:29.400 precedent. Spokesperson from MasterCard echoed that sentiment. Privacy, privacy of people's purchasing

00:09:37.680 decisions belongs to them. It's cardholder independence. Jeremy Stein, an economics professor

00:09:43.860 at Harvard University, rightly points out, if the banks decide no longer to do business with gun

00:09:50.400 manufacturers, they would need to look more closely at the customer's information. And by doing so,

00:09:56.320 they'd be getting into the same issues Facebook and others have had problems with.

00:10:01.760 So even if banks and credit card companies agreed to start monitoring purchases,

00:10:06.660 gun sales are difficult to track because they appear on statements at sporting goods or retail shop

00:10:13.200 purchases. Big box retailers like Walmart, they're not selling guns or ammunition anymore. They've been,

00:10:22.240 um, they have on their receipts, uh, their code just says variety. They sell groceries, pet supplies,

00:10:30.480 and, and everything else. Dick's Sporting Good imposed restrictions on their gun sales.

00:10:36.960 And a former FBI counterterrorism prosecutor and staff member of the FBI 9-11 review commission

00:10:44.120 insist this is easy to fix. They have the infrastructure already in place. All they have

00:10:50.600 to do to deal with suspicious activity is use that infrastructure, just be tweaking it to consider

00:10:56.040 firearm-related information. Information is the key word here. Information. Your information.

00:11:06.640 Now there are measures in place. For instance, bank have to report every time a single person makes a

00:11:11.960 transaction over $10,000. That transaction could be totally legal. Banks have to report the transaction.

00:11:23.320 At, at, at, at over $5,000, they have to report it if they suspect suspicious activity. There are also

00:11:32.680 laws that restrict gun purchases under the Gun Control Act of 1968. Firearm dealers must report if

00:11:39.560 someone buys two or more handguns in the span of five business days. There's also a lot of official

00:11:45.560 blowback from the idea that banks will monitor all of our purchases now, effectively compiling a list of

00:11:52.440 gun owners. Last year, John Kennedy, a Republican senator from Louisiana, introduced the No Red or Blue

00:12:00.920 Banks Act. The bill would prohibit the federal government from giving contracts to banks that

00:12:08.520 discriminate against lawful business base solely on social policy considerations. Even the ACLU has come out

00:12:18.320 against the monitoring of the banks. Jay Stanley, senior policy analyst for ACLU.

00:12:24.800 The implication of the, of expecting the government to detect and prevent every mass shooting is

00:12:33.440 believing government should play an enormously intrusive role in the American life. Which brings us back

00:12:41.600 back to Andrew, Andrew, Andrew Ross Sorkin's New York Times article. He doesn't seem convinced by any of

00:12:49.680 this. In fact, this week in the New York Times, he is taking credit for Walmart. And he said, we have just

00:12:59.520 begun this fight. He prefers government stepping in and forcing these companies to start monitoring

00:13:09.120 their customers, you, or at least the credit card companies made that, uh, uh, made that choice of

00:13:17.040 their own, uh, volition. So government doesn't have to, we just really think that they should.

00:13:24.000 Here he is in an interview on PBS. So right now, legally, you decide you're going to send $10,000

00:13:31.440 anywhere that gets reported to the government instantly, instantly already does. So we could

00:13:37.140 instantly have reported this person just stockpiled $40,000 worth of weapons. Absolutely. Okay. He makes

00:13:44.440 a valid point or at least starts to, but it's what he says next. He takes it into a strange direction

00:13:51.700 here. And by the way, the credit card industry has on its own volition decided that there's certain

00:13:57.000 things they don't want to finance. So if you want to buy Bitcoin, you can't, uh, marijuana in, in many

00:14:02.100 states is legal. Yeah, you can't. MasterCard, interestingly, recently, uh, went to a website that had some

00:14:09.220 hate speech on it, um, and said, we're no longer going to allow you to use credit card transactions

00:14:13.880 using MasterCard because, uh, of this hate speech. So there are companies that are taking positions,

00:14:19.660 if you will, on some of these things. And the question is how that can work in relation to

00:14:23.820 guns. So he starts by saying, it's bad that credit card companies infringe on people's rights in other

00:14:29.740 situations. You know, people purchase marijuana or punish websites for hate speech. It's bad.

00:14:34.880 That should be the end of his point. Full stop. But it's not. He goes on then by saying,

00:14:39.840 why can't we do that in relation to guns?

00:14:41.920 His article quotes a number of experts who are more or less just repeating a version of the same

00:14:50.000 thing. Credit card companies should bear responsibility for mass shootings. More

00:14:54.560 importantly, he just assumes that the connection does exist. But is there a connection between

00:15:00.720 credit card companies and mass shootings? Or is it spurious? We'll go there in one minute.

00:15:11.920 This is such an important thing because people are just, I mean, we are starting to look at some

00:15:20.680 spooky, spooky things, uh, of just total monitoring. We are coming up with a, uh, a social score,

00:15:28.380 social credit score like China said we're doing it and we're volunteering for it. All right. I have an

00:15:34.300 incredible deal from Takovas that I can't wait to tell you about. And the deal is available only free to

00:15:41.540 you, this audience. But before we get into the details of the gift purchase, I want to remind

00:15:47.820 you why I and so many others in this audience love Takovas cowboy boots in a world, in a word,

00:15:53.700 it's value, it's values and value. There's something about this Takovas boot that just, 0.99

00:16:02.760 it's handmade, it's quality, it's over the top quality at about half the price.

00:16:09.920 So it's got great value to it, but it also reminds you of who you are and where you're going. It's

00:16:17.680 quality, style, craftsmanship, all at half the price of traditional retail. Now about the free gift

00:16:24.240 right now, if you go to Takovas and you make a purchase of $150 or more and you enter Beck at

00:16:31.160 checkout, you're going to get a free hand-stitched calfskin card case in, in beautiful bourbon, uh,

00:17:38.900 The one thing that makes the debate on guns really, really hard is the media. The media pushes a false

00:17:45.020 and many times totally inaccurate view of guns and they say it over and over and over again. So many

00:17:51.500 people who don't know anything about guns just assumes that all of that is true and they start

00:17:57.680 to believe it. This causes a trend called the spiral of silence. The idea that people holding views

00:18:09.940 contrary to those dominant in the media are moved to keep those views to themselves for fear of

00:18:16.060 rejection. They're unaware that there are plenty of like-minded people around them who also feel

00:18:22.180 alienated by the predominant liberal voice of the media. The news media is extraordinarily powerful,

00:18:29.540 especially when everyone is walking in lockstep like they are on guns.

00:18:34.020 The voice of the media is everywhere. It can select and maintain narratives at will. It can impose

00:18:42.720 values, often the values of those who are writing the stories. Now this imposition of silence amounts to

00:18:50.820 a kind of authoritarianism that violates free speech and all of the principles of America. We can't run

00:18:59.340 behind the second amendment or the first amendment now because we're talking about private companies

00:19:05.040 making these decisions. So nobody's silencing your speech. It's people just like you silencing speech.

00:19:13.640 New York Times article, as you might expect, the article subtly makes clear that

00:19:19.580 that he is on the side and so is the New York Times of gun restrictions. Here's Sorkin in his

00:19:27.400 PBS interview again. He reveals that this is not a news story. This is a social justice story for him.

00:19:36.840 Right after I started writing about this after Parkland, the good news was a number of banks

00:19:42.520 actually did take a step back. A Bank of America Citigroup said, you know what, we're no longer

00:19:46.580 going to finance gun manufacturers. So the next question is, do you want to finance effectively the

00:19:53.760 shooters? Okay, so this is the guy who called Walmart or wrote a letter to the CEO of Walmart

00:20:00.900 after the shooting and said, you have an ability to make a statement like no one else can. So he's

00:20:09.320 he is a social justice warrior. He wrote in his article after the shooting last February at Stoneman

00:20:18.480 Douglas High School in Parkland. 17 students, staff members were killed. This column suggested that

00:20:24.620 financial firms had an opportunity to help reduce violence by pushing for more responsible practices

00:20:30.040 by the gun industry. As a result, some banks ended their relationship with gun makers and some investors

00:20:36.860 pushed for manufacturers for more transparency. The bill itself as as a report, yet he injects his own

00:20:46.440 subtle narrative there. He's celebrating the fact that an article by the New York Times resulted in

00:20:52.040 policy change. So it's an op ed. It's not an article. It's activism. It's not journalism.

00:20:59.340 Why can't we get people to come clean and just admit these things? Clearly, he thinks guns are evil and

00:21:06.380 banks need to stop people from buying them or in his words, elected officials could force the financial

00:21:12.620 system to act that that that could that could they could passive aggressive. Most telling of all the

00:21:23.000 perspectives not included. Where are the opinions from gun rights activists and pro Second Amendment

00:21:28.640 advocates? Where is a conservative? Where's even a conservative light? Where's anyone in this story that

00:21:36.380 isn't just blatantly leftist? There are tons of quotes like this. We need to step back and see and and think

00:21:43.900 about what tools we use to combat terrorism and money laundering and think about the financial rules

00:21:49.040 associated with the Patriot Act. In a very real sense, I think these mass shootings are terrorism.

00:21:55.920 Well, so do I. While some executives express grief, and we're open to discussing possible solutions,

00:22:03.280 virtually none were willing to speak about them on record for fear of upsetting gun rights activists

00:22:07.880 and politicians invoking the Second Amendment, invoking the Second Amendment. Imagine that if we said this

00:22:14.740 about voting rights. Oh, yeah, there will. There's they're just talking about the Constitution.

00:22:24.220 Translation, everybody is scared of these gun loving conservatives who keep supporting terrorism with

00:22:28.680 their fully semi-automatic weapons, and their death machines. Think of the children. Well, we are think of

00:22:35.560 the children. I want to leave you with one more thought about how dangerous this kind of thinking is,

00:22:45.200 and it is becoming the main line thinking now, when we come back.

00:22:50.820 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:22:58.800 Tabitha wrote in, she said, we purchased the two inch faux wood blinds for all of our windows

00:24:17.960 So we've been watching, uh, this reporter for the, uh, New York times, uh, for a while.

00:24:29.300 And he is, uh, taking credit this week for Walmart, uh, finally, uh, deciding that they are going to get

00:24:38.300 out of the gun business. And, uh, he wrote to them beforehand. Um, basically, I think he did an

00:24:45.200 open letter as well, uh, pressuring, you have the chance, you know, leadership of Walmart.

00:24:53.540 And, uh, he was very upset that the conservatives that are pushing the second amendment in Congress

00:25:00.560 are telling, uh, these, uh, banks and credit card companies to not, uh, look at, you know,

00:25:11.100 your information, not to make a list of all gun buyers, uh, not to, uh, stop doing business or

00:25:20.580 giving loans to, or financial services to gun manufacturers. And look at what's going to happen.

00:25:28.200 If you are, if you're watching us on the blaze right now, I want to give you a blast from the

00:25:32.340 past. How long ago was it? I bought this to him, brought this onto the set. It feels like it was

00:25:37.560 like almost five years ago now. It's been a while. It's been a while. And if you remember,

00:25:41.600 right, uh, this is the maker bot replicator two. It was a desktop 3d printer. And if you remember

00:25:49.300 right, several people on the staff, when I did this one in particular, and cause I only know this

00:25:57.600 cause he said it to me a couple of years later, made fun of me going, this is ridiculous. This is

00:26:03.900 not going to turn into what Glenn is saying. It's so far away. And what I was saying at the time was,

00:26:12.640 this is the future. You're going to be able to 3d print anything. Now, if you'll see in this

00:26:19.740 printer, you'll see a face. I don't even remember who that was, was that we printed, but it's a face

00:26:26.400 of somebody and it's plastic and it's pretty incredible, but it's still plastic.

00:26:35.240 This is a, is number, let me see 12. I think it is a number 15. This was the 15th fully 3d printed

00:26:46.880 gun. And I just want you to listen to the sound of it. Does that not sound like a regular gun?

00:26:57.080 I give this gun once in a while to, uh, uh, people who are advocates and people who are also,

00:27:05.060 that they're saying, Oh, there's that. We got to get guns off the street. I hand them this gun.

00:27:09.340 Say, can you tell me anything about this gun? People who actually know guns can't tell me

00:27:17.120 anything there. No. Is it what's special about what's so different about it? It's 3d printed.

00:27:26.040 You're going to create a black market. You you're telling me this is a 3d printed gun.

00:27:33.920 You're selling, you're telling me that you can't 3d print magazines. Of course you can.

00:27:41.160 You could hand make those, let alone 3d print and any gun that you want, you can now 3d print.

00:27:48.560 And there's a report, I believe it was the wall street journal that said, uh, they now believe

00:27:52.640 the gun that was purchased for the most recent shooting was not as initially reported, but instead

00:27:59.880 was a, was a gun illegally built by someone not. Yeah. It was not a private. It was not a normal

00:28:06.400 private sale or a gun showed everything. It was a, a person who built the gun illegally and then sold

00:28:12.480 it to this guy with the mental issues. Just so you know, you can, you can fairly easily. I don't mean

00:28:19.780 like it, you could do it today, but you could take the time and learn how to make weapons. You can

00:28:25.480 make guns. People just don't do it because it's illegal. Yeah. Just like you can cook steak,

00:28:31.380 but you'd also go to a restaurant and they'll make it for you. It's a lot easier. Right.

00:28:34.300 Usually tastes better. Right. And it doesn't blow up in your hands. Right. You know, it does take

00:28:39.500 skill to be able to make a gun, but you can make guns and people will, if there's a black market,

00:28:45.880 but there's a limited skill that goes into 3d printing a gun. Like now, right now it is more difficult

00:28:52.620 and it's a, it would not be easy. A magazine, however, that's easy. That would not be difficult

00:28:57.340 for anyone who knows how to use a 3d printer to do. And the idea that you're going to be able to

00:29:02.180 ban a certain size of magazine when anyone can print them at their home. I mean, I'm on Amazon

00:29:08.320 right now. There are dozens of 3d printers under a thousand dollars metal. Some of them are metal.

00:29:15.520 Some of them are plastic, more of this old school style here. But again, like for a magazine,

00:29:20.400 you could make it out of plastic. Yes. I mean, you could. All you need is a spring. Yeah. It's a

00:29:26.180 spring. It's a, you know, it's just something that's feeding bullets into, into a gun, uh, you

00:29:30.260 know, into a chamber. It's not like a high tech device, you know, it's, this is not, it's not

00:29:36.340 meant to be right. Um, so you could do it and obviously you could build it with pretty easily

00:29:41.280 with metal parts. The idea that you're going to be able to ban them is completely ridiculous. 0.72

00:29:45.140 It's completely ridiculous. And everyone knows it wouldn't work. The idea that some guy who wants 0.98

00:29:50.540 to go murder 20 people is going to, is going to stop because he couldn't quite come up with a piece

00:29:55.380 of metal. Here's a guy who is mentally disturbed, mentally disturbed. And he gets turned down 1.00

00:30:04.360 legally. He can't do anything. So what does he do? This mentally disturbed guy finds another guy

00:30:12.260 who's willing to go to federal prison for making a gun and selling it on the black market. Right.

00:30:20.540 I mean, think of that, that, that guy was aided embedded by somebody who is willing to go to

00:30:26.520 federal prison. You need a federal license to be able to make guns. He didn't have one.

00:30:33.680 You need a federal license to sell a gun that you're making. He didn't have one. This guy is going to go to

00:30:40.420 federal prison for this. He was willing to risk that. So for what? To sell it to some mental,

00:30:48.760 mentally disturbed individual. That's not somebody who's going to be impressed with new laws. 0.63

00:30:58.220 We must enforce the laws that we already have. And look, the laws that we already have are not

00:31:03.860 sufficient to stop people from murdering each other. No, there's no law against murder. Right. Yeah.

00:31:09.220 I mean, think about, they always, they always say this stat, which is completely ridiculous. And 0.87

00:31:13.260 we've gone over it many times, but it's like, well, there's been 230 mass shootings this year.

00:31:19.140 And they, of course, to get to that number, what they don't tell you is they're, you know,

00:31:23.340 highlighting all sorts of gang violence in the inner cities. Well, does anyone think people with

00:31:27.620 gang violence in the inner cities are going out and buying these guns legally? I mean,

00:31:32.340 watch the wire. Do you think these people are going into gun shows to get these guns?

00:31:37.460 They're not. They're all illegally purchased. These are, these are, somehow we also ban drugs in this

00:31:45.800 country. You know, there's, there's, you can't have heroin in this country either. Somehow people

00:31:51.460 are acquiring it. Somehow people are manufacturing it. Somehow people are going through the chemical

00:31:57.220 process of creating crystal meth and selling it all over the place to people who don't even have a lot

00:32:02.840 of money. And you think you're going to be able to step in here and ban pieces of plastic and metal

00:32:08.960 that would springs. I hate to go. It's just so dumb. I hate to go all, you know, Marianne Williamson on

00:32:15.060 you, but there's a hole in us. There is a problem. Don't say you have thoughts and prayers for it. I

00:32:22.780 hope you're not going to say that. I do have thoughts and prayers. You're not going to think about it.

00:32:25.860 I mean, prayer is one thing, your crazy sky God and your boom sticks. But I mean, we're talking

00:32:32.460 about thoughts. I don't want you thinking about this. Stu, I have the power of love and the power

00:32:38.260 of love will win. I mean, when Marianne Williamson's your most sane candidate, that is a problem for your

00:32:43.960 party. Yeah. On this particular issue. I mean, I think she, you know, thinks we should scoop them

00:32:48.760 all up too. But on this issue, she keeps saying, no one is talking about the hole in our society.

00:32:56.560 And that's true. Look, the guns are not a new thing. These weapons, these, these weapons of war,

00:33:05.560 they were used as hunting rifles in the 1950s. Then the government said, Hey, we would like the

00:33:13.700 license to be able to make them for Vietnam as well. And they were, but we kept selling them

00:33:19.040 here. They've been around since the 1950s. What's changed? I know. And it's funny. These guns have

00:33:25.520 been around, right? And, uh, something's, something's changed. Why do we think something's

00:33:30.500 changed? What's the idea? Why do we like, why does Beto go on TV and say, well, we've tried thoughts

00:33:35.760 and prayers. Nothing's happened. Why does he say that? What is it? What's, what is he getting at?

00:33:40.060 Well, I mean, the, the gun, the, the murder rate in this country is dropped by half. So if you're

00:33:46.800 putting all the, the, uh, of the effects of gun violence problem on thoughts and prayers, thoughts

00:33:52.060 or prayers are working really well, right? So what are we talking about? We're talking about only a

00:33:57.920 specific type of violence, a specific type of shooting, the mass, I want attention shooting.

00:34:05.440 That's, that's the only thing we're not talking about an increase in gun violence here.

00:34:09.920 We're not talking about that. We're talking about a decrease in gun violence, a massive

00:34:14.660 didn't decrease in gun violence. What we're only talking about are specific types of shootings,

00:34:20.660 right? Specific attention grabbing shootings by mentally disturbed individuals, almost exclusively.

00:34:29.040 And I don't know, maybe the entire focus on this is a big chunk of the problem. We see these

00:34:36.260 things come and go with crimes where there's like a, I call them trend crimes. They're

00:34:41.180 times, you know, the type of crime that trends among psychopaths, right? And so you go back

00:34:46.180 and you can see them through recent history where there was political assassinations was

00:34:51.180 a thing for a while. They'd happen less often. Now they just were a thing. Serial killers were

00:34:57.240 a thing for a while. There's tons of them. The media was obsessed with them. There's tons of

00:35:01.940 copycats. Now we're in an era of mass public shootings, right? Where the media constantly

00:35:07.600 feeds this cycle. And we have an entire group of people who consider themselves Columbiners

00:35:12.500 because they all worship at the altar of the two horrible people that killed people at Columbine.

00:35:18.360 And this has become an ideology, just like serial killing was kind of an ideology and political

00:35:24.520 assassination was kind of an ideology. And so we are now there. The thing that seems to have changed

00:35:30.760 is how the media focuses on these people and how, uh, we turn them into heroes. And, and in a way,

00:35:40.520 well, I mean, it's heroes for a certain sect. And I will say like what the sect that is, that they

00:35:46.460 are heroic to are people who go around and spend their entire lives complaining that they can't be

00:35:52.480 understood and no one will listen to me. Well, when they go and they do these shootings, guess what

00:35:55.860 happens? Everyone listens to them and they talk about their, their, their complaints about the

00:36:00.920 world incessantly. And everyone tries to understand them. They get exactly what they want.

00:36:06.820 This is what, this is what the Joker is all about. The new movie, the Joker, uh, the new movie is he

00:36:13.360 doesn't fall into a vat of acid. This is a guy who is rejected and isolated and then made fun of by

00:36:21.180 society. And it's really a social, uh, it's, it's a, it's a magnifying glass on our society and what's,

00:36:31.700 what's happening. And on top of that, we look at Joker and he's an anti-hero in many ways. You know, he

00:36:40.460 is, he's the poster that you would have up in your room as a kid. You, or you don't necessarily have

00:36:47.340 Batman. It wouldn't be unusual for a kid to have a poster of Joker or a picture of Batman. When I was

00:36:54.500 growing up, you wouldn't have had a picture of the Joker. You wouldn't have been following the Joker

00:36:58.980 because Batman was the hero. Now we're a, now we're a society that celebrates both the villain and

00:37:07.640 sometimes more so the villain. We celebrate the villain and we celebrate the hero. Well,

00:37:15.880 of course, if I'm mentally unstable, I don't feel like anybody's hearing me. And I see that this guy

00:37:23.040 is a hero among the people that are like me. Of course, I'm going to follow that, but we don't

00:37:29.080 talk about any of that. It's of course, just the magazine that is causing all the problem.

00:37:37.640 Bill O'Reilly's coming up in just a second. I want you to listen to what Tim has to say about

00:39:32.800 So the guy who is Adolf Hitler's last living relative has been convicted of pedophilia for

00:39:43.280 kissing a 13-year-old girl. He is the only one or the only one claiming to be the direct

00:39:52.260 relative of the Fuhrer through Adolf Hitler's father. And he said, I've, you know, I've struggled

00:40:02.200 my whole life. This is according to Romano Lucas Hitler. He said, I've, I've struggled my whole life

00:40:09.320 to find work. Um, well, uh, yeah, cause your last name is Hitler. He decided not to change 0.83

00:40:18.780 his name. Uh, and, uh, he says he's, he's gone from job to job his whole life. Nobody wants to be

00:40:25.880 his friend. Nobody, your name is Hitler, dude. Yeah. And you're a direct descendant. Oh, and by the 0.87

00:40:32.480 way in his house, he has a picture of Angela Merkel and Adolf Hitler on his wall. But he's like, that's

00:40:38.820 only because he's a relative. I don't care if he's a relative or not, man. He's a mass murderer.

00:40:46.080 So apparently, uh, he was, um, uh, he, uh, there was a garage up for sale and Hitler answered the 0.55

00:40:54.960 advertisement to see if he wanted to buy this garage turned up. He didn't have interest in the

00:40:59.260 garage. Only this 13 year old girl that he, he, and you know, uh, he gave her candy and clothes and

00:41:05.880 plastic flowers offered to marry her. Dad found out that he tried to kiss her. And that was the line.

00:41:12.060 He said, no more going over to his apartment. It's Hitler. What's wrong with these people?

00:41:16.900 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:41:19.220 So most of us have tens, even hundreds of thousands of dollars of equity in our homes,

00:41:33.100 and it's a savings account. It's a retirement nest egg, or it's quick cash in an emergency.

00:41:38.840 Now imagine your equity is gone, stolen by online thieves. It's called home equity theft. And the FBI

00:41:46.700 says, this is the fastest growing crime in, in New York city. They're saying it's an epidemic

00:41:50.900 thieves discovered that they can get our home titles because they're all online now. And they

00:41:55.740 forge a new document and make it appear that you sold them under a fake name, your home. Then they

00:42:02.760 go out to a bank and using your equity, they take out a loan. So you lose your equity. You no longer

00:42:10.380 even own your home. And when the bank comes to collect the money that they never paid,

00:42:15.980 well, you lose everything and it's a nasty battle. You have to protect your home. Home title lock

00:43:23.500 children in other countries. They're going to kill them, but they're going to control your meat 1.00

00:45:21.000 sir. You have to do the rumba here. Yeah, you do. What kind of music is that? That's a, that's Bill O'Reilly.

00:45:27.000 He's here. It's going to be a zany, crazy, and there will be some dancing.

00:45:33.320 I'm ready to do the Macarena whenever you want. Okay. Bill, let's start with the, the never ending

00:45:42.080 town hall meeting on CNN. Still going on. Yeah. They've now got animated cartoon characters

00:45:50.340 weighing in on what they're going to do. Yes. Um, it's a telethon over the weekend and, uh, I,

00:45:56.860 I don't think Jerry Lewis is going to appear, but he may. So you, you're a guy who, you, you're a guy

00:46:02.280 who looks at the ratings. I'm dying to know what the ratings for that thing were. Um, this is the

00:46:08.340 irony of it. They were bad and they were outrated by the hurricane. And there's nothing really

00:46:18.080 blaming the global warming, uh, blaming the hurricane on the global warming with of course,

00:46:23.140 no data or facts to back that up. It's crazy. Um, and then people are going, you know what? I,

00:46:27.840 I think I'll just watch the real hurricane, not you. Uh, that's what happens. CNN did about a

00:46:33.200 little bit more than a million. It's a little bit better than they usually do because you know,

00:46:37.020 they usually don't do anybody. Okay. So, uh, let's do the headlines. First of all, I do believe

00:46:44.180 there is a warming on the planet because I can read the thermometers and the temperatures that

00:46:51.800 come in from around the world. I also went up to Glacier Bay and in Alaska. And I talked to the

00:46:56.700 Marines biologist up there. He said, they've lost half the glacier up there. I also play used to play

00:47:01.780 ice hockey on long Island for two months outside during the winter on a pond that was frozen last

00:47:07.660 winter. Not one day. Could you do that? So the temperature is changing. Now you go into, well,

00:47:14.620 can human beings do anything about it? Most certainly we can all be cleaner. I mean,

00:47:21.900 it breaks my heart because as you know, I'm big ocean guy that there's so much gunk in the ocean

00:47:27.080 and plastics. I can't figure out why laser technology hasn't been able to just disintegrate

00:47:34.020 these plastic stuff after we use it. I don't know why that hasn't happened, but the plastic

00:47:39.060 stuff is winding up in the oceans. It's awful. So I'm not some guy who goes, there's no global

00:47:45.400 warming. This is God doing this. I'm not. All right. I do believe that the planet has been impacted by bad

00:47:52.940 things from human beings. Okay. Now we have a bunch of totalitarian Stalinists, and that's exactly who

00:48:02.240 they are that are saying to the American people, unless you do what we tell you to do in every

00:48:11.140 aspect of your life, the planet and the world are going to end in 10 years, 15 years, maybe 20.

00:48:18.780 So you got to do what we tell you to do. And then the litany of stuff starts and you back rightly

00:48:27.900 were pithy and said, they want to take all your freedoms away, freedom of choice, freedom of how

00:48:34.660 you live your life. And the central government in Washington, DC is going to tell you exactly what

00:48:40.600 you eat, where you go, how you get there and how the jobs are doled out all under the guise of saving

00:48:48.800 you from global warming. There it is. So do the American people connect with this bill?

00:49:01.800 I don't know whether, whether people pay attention enough to see Elizabeth Warren, a very dangerous 0.62

00:49:09.820 woman. And Bernie Sanders are basically saying, they're saying, we're going to take as much money

00:49:14.860 as we can from every American worker and give it to other people because global warming impacts

00:49:22.140 the minority communities the most. That's the latest. You saw that, right? 1.00

00:49:27.140 Yes, yes, yes.

00:49:28.280 Okay. So this guy who wrote this book, this professor at American universities, hey, hey, hey, hey,

00:49:34.620 global warming impacts the people of color because more people of color live in the Southern

00:49:40.780 Hemisphere, and that's where global warming is worse. So if you don't fight it, you're a racist.

00:49:45.800 That's the latest. The book is out. Some people actually bought it. So every time you put gas in

00:49:52.760 your car, get on an airplane, you're a racist. You're a racist because that's exacerbating global 0.92

00:49:57.560 warming. So this is how insane it's gotten. Now, your question is, do most Americans know it's insane? 0.98

00:50:04.000 I would say no, because the media, the national media, particularly on television,

00:50:11.180 doesn't point any of this out. You can only hear it on the O'Reilly Update, on BillOReilly.com,

00:50:17.960 on The Blaze, on the Glenn Beck radio show. That's where you're going to hear it. Not going to see it

00:50:22.440 in the New York Times or hear it on NBC News. So they suppress, I love that word, suppress the real 0.92

00:50:29.140 thing that's going on with the global warming. It is a power play. That's what it is.

00:50:36.520 So, you know, you were saying that if you gas up your car, it's racist. Bernie Sanders was talking

00:50:42.040 about aborting poor children from third world countries, most likely not white.

00:50:49.640 No, I didn't read it that way.

00:50:51.800 What? 0.99

00:50:52.400 I have to say, I didn't read it that Bernie Sanders wants to kill minority children. 0.98

00:50:56.460 What is he saying? 0.76

00:50:57.240 I, this is how I read it. And remember, Bernie Sanders is 112 years old. So a lot of times

00:51:05.060 it doesn't come out very clear. It's kind of like Biden. So what I, what I heard him say,

00:51:12.020 what I think he said was, if you can ram birth control down more women's throats, it's better for the 1.00

00:51:19.500 Yeah, that's a very much, very much what Margaret Sanger said too.

00:51:25.660 Yes. And we know the eugenics of Margaret Sanger. Right. But, but here's another thing for you

00:51:31.780 global warming fans out there. Um, and I understand a new, uh, a new, uh, sports franchise in San

00:51:38.480 Francisco is going to be called the climate changers. Okay. So it's going to be great out

00:51:44.400 there. Shut up. 1.00

00:51:45.480 Um, here's a, here's an, here, here's something else. So if Sanders or Warren are elected president, 0.99

00:51:52.660 which they won't be, but if they were, all right, then we would have all these draconian

00:51:58.260 changes to our economy and lifestyles in the pursuit of saving us from destruction. Do you think

00:52:06.200 that Russia is going to not use fossil fuels when it's in toxic economy is based on oil? How about

00:52:12.240 China with 1.5 billion people? All right. Uh, many of whom, um, are living from day to day. Are

00:52:19.420 they going to knock out all the fossil fuels over in China? How about India? You know, are they going 0.99

00:52:24.000 to do that? I don't think so. Japan, Japan still is massacring whales. We can't even get them to stop

00:52:31.300 killing the whales over there. All right. They're going to stop with the fossil fuels over there.

00:52:36.420 I don't think so. Okay. So we, United States and Sweden, all right, we're going to, we're going to

00:52:44.220 go back and live in the 19th century. All right. We're going to have campfires. Maybe we can't even

00:52:49.540 have them. Well, maybe campfires are not going to be well. All right. And then everybody else is

00:52:53.820 going to go, Oh, look at these Americans. They destroyed their own economy. They blew up their own 1.00

00:52:59.280 lifestyle. All right. They're all on horseback again. I mean, this is so absurd. This is,

00:53:07.300 this is like a Saturday night live skit when that show used to be funny, which was like 30 years ago.

00:53:13.500 Um, all right. Did I cover everything? I think you, I think you covered everything. Uh, I,

00:53:19.480 I want to take you now to the gun debate, but let me break for one minute. So we have lots of time

00:53:25.220 on the other side to talk about what's happening with the gun debate and your take on Walmart and

00:53:32.300 this article that we have not heard Trump speak about, but we have had from the administration,

00:53:38.460 a leak in the administration on something that they are looking at and considering on how to make

00:53:44.760 sure the guns don't get in the hands of bad guys. We'll come back with Bill O'Reilly,

00:53:48.900 whose new book comes out, uh, in just a few days, September 24th is the release. It is the United

00:53:55.020 States of Trump. Uh, great book, read it cover to cover. Well, I read the covers. Uh, don't know

00:54:01.940 the babbling in between the covers, but the covers are great. Uh, and it comes out on the 24th of

00:54:07.340 September. Listener of this show, John used to have a contest with his wife to see who could get the

00:54:12.440 more creative birthday gift. And this year she won hands down when she got him at 23 and me health and

00:54:18.540 ancestry kit. Now, John wasn't only surprised by the gift, but he was also surprised when he got the

00:54:23.540 results back. As it turns out, John is of Eastern European descent. And all of a sudden he has new

00:54:30.440 tools to learn more about the history of his family, all the people that went before him. Uh, so he could

00:54:36.240 be free today. And it was all thanks to his wife and 23 and me 23 and me can help you not only unlock

00:54:43.660 your past, but it might just affect your future as well. The reports don't diagnose any disease or

00:54:49.280 describe overall likelihood of developing diseases, but 23 and me test selected genetic variants. And

00:54:56.720 if you visit 23 and me.com slash back, you're going to get this important test information and you can

00:55:02.560 order your health and ancestry kit. It will, it will help you through 125 different profiles,

00:55:09.320 see where you've been, where you are and where you might be headed to better know who you are.

00:55:16.400 Go to 23 and me.com slash back. That's the number two, three and me.com slash back. Do it now.

00:55:25.460 We break for 10 seconds. Station ID.

00:55:27.180 So this week, San Francisco has designated the NRA as a terrorist organization. You want to talk

00:55:42.600 about dividing the country that's calling half of the country, uh, uh, terrorists or, or financing,

00:55:50.280 uh, a terrorist organization that seems a little divisive. Um, but also we have Walmart,

00:55:57.180 who has decided that they are going to take a stand against guns and ammunition,

00:56:02.760 something they have a right to do, but bill, how do you feel about it?

00:56:06.260 Oh, um, the momentum in America and Republicans need to understand this is for more stringent regulation

00:56:25.400 of heavy weapons. All right. So I don't know what Walmart does or doesn't do. And I don't really

00:56:34.420 particularly care. You pointed out they have a right to do whatever they want. And if you don't

00:56:38.980 want to shop at Walmart anymore, don't. But the bigger issue for the country is that president Trump

00:56:47.820 knows he's got to do something to appear to be concerned about these mass murders. Now I'm not

00:56:55.440 saying he's not concerned, but if the Republicans and Mitch McConnell and the Senate don't do anything,

00:57:01.620 they're going to lose the Senate and the house next time around, because the Democrats are going

00:57:06.920 to run wild with this issue. So the Republicans have to back some kind of more, um, focused,

00:57:16.560 I think that's the best word, uh, more focused legislation on keeping these high powered guns

00:57:24.220 out of the hands of nuts. So is it going to work? No. Right. I think everybody understands that mass

00:57:32.800 murder will always be with us. Right. And hang on just a second. Most criminals can get guns

00:57:36.880 illegally. I think everybody got that. AR, these, these, these weapons of war, they're called weapons

00:57:43.260 of war because America first really started noticing them during Vietnam, but they were

00:57:48.760 invented as a modern sporting rifle. That's what they're called. Modern sporting rifles.

00:57:53.580 They'd been around since the 1950s. We had them through the sixties, the seventies, the eighties,

00:57:58.960 the nineties. And today it's, there's no difference. We have had these. There's not a problem with the

00:58:06.300 gun. There's a problem with humanity. Something is missing. Remember there was a federal assault

00:58:12.480 weapons ban that did nothing that did nothing. It was there and it, it, it passed. Um, I think

00:58:21.040 that the Republican party, if it wants to fend off this amazingly destructive wave of far left ideology

00:58:32.380 has to compromise in the gun area. In what way, what do we do? What do, what do we do without

00:58:39.700 violating? I think is doable, which, um, that gives, um, individual Americans a little bit more power

00:58:47.440 to, um, go and say, you know, Lenny over there is a shooting, uh, uh, dachshunds. Wait, wait, 0.92

00:58:54.780 wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. So that's fine. Except the president wants to have you, uh,

00:59:01.900 guilty until proven innocent. You cannot take a gun away from somebody unless, I mean, we already have

00:59:10.460 the red flag. If you think somebody is sick, you take, you go to a, you go to a hospital and say,

00:59:15.840 you got to commit this person. Beck. Yes. Somebody on the streets of New York. All right. Is running

00:59:23.200 around naked, screaming obscenities, the authorities show up and take that person to Bellevue where

00:59:31.600 they're placed under observation for a period of time. If the doctors examining the person then feel

00:59:39.540 the person is a threat, they go to a judge and the judge writes an order detaining the person.

00:59:48.780 Okay. So you're making my point. Why do you need a red flag law? You have that. You can do that now.

00:59:56.620 No, you don't have it because this is private behavior. The red flag law would be, would be

01:00:01.800 spotlighting, not public behavior. So if I have imagined somebody who's had an ugly divorce,

01:00:08.160 okay? Say I had an ugly divorce. Of course there's the potential for abuse. I mean, everybody knows that.

01:00:13.380 Huge potential, huge potential. But if you're a mother and you have a 20 year old big strapping guy 0.78

01:00:20.360 in the basement with 15 ARs and this kid, this 20 year old, and the mother knows is, is crazy.

01:00:31.000 Then the mother now has a way to alert the authorities without the kid coming up and beating the hell out 1.00

01:00:37.900 of the mother. You can do it under the cloak of anonymity and the authorities are compelled then

01:00:43.600 to come to the house and look at the kid or pick them up someplace else. So I'm just saying to you,

01:00:49.680 I understand the downside of all of these laws, but I know the political climate in the country

01:00:56.440 and Americans want something to be done, even if that something does not work.

01:01:02.440 I think, you know what? I think you're, I think it's crazy, but completely right.

01:01:07.940 I do too. I do too.

01:01:09.280 People say this all the time. It's like, well, you know, you guys only care about the NRA and

01:01:13.040 you can only care about the politics of this. The politics of the gun issues suck for Republicans. 0.98

01:01:17.260 I think, I mean, the easiest thing in the world is to give up all, give ground on all this stuff. 0.88

01:01:21.900 It's, you feel terrible defending it. You're in the middle of a tragedy trying to come up with these,

01:01:26.160 you know, you know, factual points when no one wants to think about facts. They want to think

01:01:31.380 about emotion. It's, it's the, it's that moment, but I mean, that is why emotional issue and the

01:01:36.960 Republican party and traditional Americans and gun owners have to look at the greater good here,

01:01:42.420 but I'm not giving up my constitutional rights because of emotion bill. I feel like I,

01:01:46.660 that's the problem, but you don't have a constitutional right to own a certain weapon.

01:01:51.900 You have a right.

01:01:52.980 Shall not be infringed.

01:01:54.640 It's pretty clear.

01:01:56.240 Shall not be infringed.

01:01:57.560 The government under the, under the public safety banner has the right to say you can't have a

01:02:02.640 bazooka. We all know that. So it's just, I'm not, by the way, I wouldn't ban ARs. I, I'm not for 0.60

01:02:10.300 that. Um, what I am for is if you want to buy a heavy weapon or a weapon of war, as Beck puts it,

01:02:17.140 you have to go through a more stringent process so that the, the, you're trained, the people, um,

01:02:25.320 are confident that you're not alone. Uh, the check shows that you don't have four felonies on your

01:02:30.680 sheet, you know, that kind of a thing. And I think that's reasonable. We already have that.

01:02:36.260 The only thing we don't have, hang on federal level. It's not a database. The FBI doesn't have a

01:02:43.940 database of people who own weapons of war. They don't, I don't want them to have one.

01:02:47.740 I know you don't. And I don't want them. I also don't want them in my psychiatrist office. If I

01:02:54.320 take Prozac, am I now going to, at some point be, uh, deemed unstable records would, would be,

01:03:01.860 would not be subject to scrutiny. And when you buy a firearm, then how, then how are you

01:03:07.940 suggesting that we know that this person is unstable or not? Because the red flag law would

01:03:14.120 then put the person in some kind of observational capacity where there would be people that were

01:03:20.420 talking to the person. It's not going to work. It's not a foolproof thing. I'm just telling you

01:03:25.760 that if the Republicans continue to say nothing, we're not going to do anything. All right. They're

01:03:31.120 going to lose the Senate. They lose the Senate and they lose the house and Trump, Trump loses the

01:03:36.140 election. Um, you know, I'm going to be looking at Swiss, uh, properties because these people are

01:03:43.020 relentless. Talk about losing your freedom. Can you imagine if Elizabeth Warren is elected president? 1.00

01:03:49.040 My God, we're not going to have any freedom at all. That's what socialism is because you got to look

01:03:54.740 at the big picture here and the big picture is frightening. And that's why Trump is, is meeting

01:04:00.320 with Manchin, the Senator from West Virginia. Trump wants to have some kind of something so he doesn't

01:04:08.320 get his butt kicked. Okay. So we're going to talk about one of those somethings coming up here in 1.00

01:04:13.640 just a second as we continue with Bill O'Reilly. You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:04:21.920 Hi, my name is Glenn Beck and I'm a 23 year old Valley girl from La Jolla, California.

01:04:26.840 And I've, uh, just got done serving my nickel for armed robbery. And so I decided to commit more

01:04:32.840 subtle crimes. And, uh, I'd love to say and talk, but I'm about to go on a spending spree of a lifetime

01:04:37.960 right now. So I'll catch you later. So I mean, they don't catch me later. Sadly, what you just heard

01:04:44.960 is actual audio from a former criminal in La Jolla, California. And that criminal could have been me.

01:04:54.380 It that you would think she didn't, she introduced herself as Glenn Beck. She was using my identity.

01:05:00.140 Now they're usually a little brighter than this, but LifeLock detects a wide range of identity

01:05:48.160 Mr. Bill O'Reilly, every Friday on the Glenn Beck program. Welcome Bill from Bill.com. Bill

01:05:55.640 O'Reilly.com. So Bill, let's, let's go here. It was released earlier this week that President

01:06:04.660 Trump, his administration has prepared a proposal to get Apple, Google, and Amazon Echo to work

01:06:16.780 together to monitor people so they could have the red flag law really coming from the tech

01:06:25.280 industry. He has, we don't want that. That's dopey. Well, he hasn't commented on it yet, but

01:06:33.000 because he's, he's too busy with the Sharpie and the, and the big thing he's got. Come on,

01:06:39.420 I can't take the Sharpie thing. What, what, what, what, what is that all about? Two things. Number one,

01:06:47.540 would you do me a favor? And when you say you read and liked the United States of Trump,

01:06:52.500 which will be out September 24th, could you not then say other stuff after that?

01:07:01.480 That's all I'm asking. That's all you're asking. I know you like the book. I know you read the book.

01:07:05.460 I know, but it really hurts me to say good things to you. They want to know that, but then after you

01:07:11.300 go into this big thing about the cover and I, because you're on the phone when you're the minute

01:07:17.220 you get off the phone, I say all those nice things, but you're on the phone. I don't want you hearing

01:07:21.700 those nice things. Um, those right to your head is I explain in the book why Trump can't just walk

01:07:31.040 away from the Sharpie thing. And, and this is a deficit for the president. It's going to hurt him,

01:07:37.740 has hurt him. And, and he just isn't capable of doing it. Um, remind me, remind me what you say

01:07:45.240 in the book. Okay. He cannot accept any criticism. Period. We all know people like that. You cannot

01:07:57.920 say, gee, it wasn't a good move for you to drive your car on the lawn.

01:08:04.680 Oh, what do you mean? It wasn't my fault. You know, that kind of thing. All right. You can't

01:08:12.560 look all Trump said, if you go back was, Hey, the storm might hit Alabama. Okay. At that point,

01:08:20.640 nobody do. All right. And then this is a big thing every day. The Sharpie, the map, the black

01:08:26.360 thing. CNN broke up on the air. I mean, I'm sitting there going, is this true? Are we really

01:08:36.980 living in this country? All Trump had to do is say nothing. And that story would have gone

01:08:41.940 away in 10 minutes, but he's incapable. If you criticize him, he can't not respond. And when

01:08:49.880 he responds, it becomes, that's going to hurt him. That's going to hurt him badly. It's

01:08:54.180 already hurt him. Yes. It's already hurt him. And, and, you know, look, I'm not a psychiatrist.

01:08:59.700 I don't do that stuff in the book. I just say, here's who Donald Trump is. Here is what he

01:09:07.560 does well. And here is what he doesn't do so well. And then you can read it and say, I agree

01:09:13.640 here. I disagree, but you're getting the truth from a guy who's known the man for 30

01:09:17.860 years. Yeah. All right. So Bill, let me go to Joe Biden and the, you know, 10 minute Ebola

01:09:24.980 virus that he had going on during the debate. It's, it's not unusual for people to have eye

01:09:31.620 bleeds, especially if you have high blood pressure, you're taking blood thinners or you're under

01:09:36.860 a lot of stress. So it happens to people, but he's already had two aneurysms and nobody,

01:09:45.000 I mean, this is making Hillary Clinton look like the picture of health. 1.00

01:09:50.060 Look, I mean, Joe Biden's going to have to release his medical forms and his, he's going to have a

01:09:58.280 physical and he's going to have to release it. So I'm not so worried about that. What is very

01:10:04.020 intriguing about the vice president is that despite all of the gaps and all of the befuddlement,

01:10:14.400 all right, he's still leading by a tremendous amount over the socialists. There's only three

01:10:20.580 people. All right. And the debate next Thursday is probably the most important debate for Biden.

01:10:27.480 All right. Because if he can get through that next Thursday, he's got it locked unless he falls apart,

01:10:32.800 unless he's got the, as you put it, the Ebola virus. And, you know, if he's got something like

01:10:38.000 that, then he's going to be out. But if he can get through next Thursday without getting hammered and

01:10:42.680 not looking like a dunderhead, he's going to win the nomination because only Sanders and Warren are

01:10:50.280 polling at all. The rest of them are, have disappeared. Americans have said, you know, 0.55

01:10:55.640 we really don't like these people or we don't want them. They're gone. And they're not going to rise up.

01:11:00.540 They're not. Now, Michelle Obama, absolutely. I'm watching that real closely, real closely.

01:11:07.960 But Michelle doesn't want to go out there and go to diners in Iowa. They don't want to do that. 1.00

01:11:12.520 So you just sit back and, you know, if May rolls around and there's no clear winner and Biden is

01:11:17.620 out in front, but is, you know, obviously incapacitated in some way, don't be surprised

01:11:23.780 if you see her. Do you think this has anything to do with, for now, Biden's got to get through next

01:11:29.160 Thursday. And if he does, then there's nobody going to touch him because you can't have 13

01:11:35.920 debates with these people. They say the same thing every single time. So I'm not, I'm not looking,

01:11:42.280 you know, I, I'm, I've been paying attention to Michelle Obama, although I do believe that is a

01:11:47.300 possibility. Um, but, uh, the Oprah Winfrey announcement this week that she's considering

01:11:54.420 a new wellness. Oprah's got too many skeletons. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. With any factual

01:11:59.180 basis. I'm not saying that she would be, this would be a great platform. Oprah out also talking

01:12:06.880 about, you know, Michelle Obama. Oh yeah. Uh, listen, uh, that, that's a very astute observation

01:12:14.600 there, Beck. If you start to see Oprah Winfrey, start to mention Michelle Obama in a political

01:12:21.640 context, that is that red flag right there. Now, Oprah's going on the wellness tour, um, 0.99

01:12:30.840 in conjunction with weight watchers. I'm for that. Um, um, um, I'm not a chubby guy, so I

01:12:38.100 don't really have to do that, but I like wellness. I know Stu likes wellness. I mean, we, we are,

01:12:44.300 we are wellness and welcoming. That's what we are. So Bill, let me, let me take you to New

01:12:49.820 York city for a second. New York city. Uh, they've been, I am back. I know that's why I'm here. I

01:12:55.620 know. That's why I'm, I'm taking the rest of the audience to where you are. Um, they have

01:13:01.280 been trying to get, I mean, Bloomberg tried everything he could to get the streets shut

01:13:06.040 down. He wants, you know, a walking, uh, street like, you know, like, like Paris. He, he, he wants

01:13:12.080 to get rid of a lot of the cars. So they put all these bikes in. Now they're saying that you have

01:13:17.000 to have a license to use a bike because, because the bike people are running down the pedestrians

01:13:23.240 in the street. It's kind of like the charging of the bulls over in Pamplona, Spain. That's what

01:13:30.880 it's like. So it's crazy that, I mean, they, they put guys trying to get you. This is going to destroy

01:13:38.700 the bike thing that they were, were banking on. You have to get a license. Nobody's going

01:13:44.140 to look. It's what, according to me, De Blasio, it's worth a few deaths. Ah, yeah, we lost 30

01:13:51.440 or 40 people, but so all we don't have. This city, New York city, it's outside of San Francisco,

01:14:01.740 which is, which is Caracas, Venezuela. All right. New York city in the last five years has

01:14:08.800 deteriorated to the point where nobody wants to go there who lives within a 30 mile radius.

01:14:15.540 Do you know what you don't want to go there? Because if you go by train and you get off at

01:14:19.820 Penn station, somebody is going to take a whiz on your shoe. All right. I think that's what's going

01:14:25.200 on. You were living there. Officer, somebody going to the bathroom here at Penn station. Oh,

01:14:29.780 he can't do anything about it. Um, and then you go up and you walk up to the street and

01:14:35.460 there's five guys, kamikaze guys on bikes, trying to kill you. I mean, this is what New York 0.99

01:14:41.140 city. You, you live there. You live there. Did you not? Before, um, uh, I lived there under

01:14:48.260 Giuliani. Giuliani came in and was basically a fast. All right. He just told 40,000 NYPD arrest

01:14:55.480 everybody find a way. And they did. And then all of a sudden crime cratered. Yeah. Because

01:15:02.420 if you do the turnstile, if you, uh, hit somebody with your elbow in the subway, whatever it may

01:15:08.500 be, you were in, in the precinct. You're breaking up so badly, uh, Bill, we, um, and I think we

01:15:17.760 lost you. No, I'm here. Okay. You're there. Okay. I'm sorry about that. De Blasio does that

01:15:23.940 when I get on the phone. I know he does. I know he does. Uh, all right, Bill, thank you so much

01:15:28.960 for being a part of the program today. The United States of Trump is just a few days away. It's,

01:15:34.800 uh, how the president really sees America. It's September 24th. You can order it now.

01:15:40.100 I have read it. I've read it cover to cover and all the pages in between. And I do believe it's Bill's.

01:15:47.200 I do believe it's Bill's best book and, uh, it's going to be a huge bestseller and, uh, blah, blah,

01:15:55.780 blah, blah, blah. Uh, it's actually, it, it really is. It's a page turner, very, very, uh, honest,

01:16:02.540 uh, and uncomfortable in parts because I don't know how the president likes you, Bill. I really don't

01:16:09.120 because you, you asked him tough questions and you also, you put a lot of stuff in there that I don't

01:16:15.880 think he's going to necessarily like, but you explain it. And I think that's really important.

01:16:21.580 So there it is. And I didn't say anything after Bill O'Reilly. Thank you, Bill. I appreciate it.

01:16:29.920 Bill O'Reilly from BillOReilly.com. The United States of Trump is, uh, uh, on sale now and a couple

01:16:36.780 of weeks, right? Well, 24th, but it's on sale now. You can buy it now. You just can't get delivery

01:18:00.120 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:18:04.260 You know, our thoughts and prayers go out to, uh, Kevin Hart, who was in a really bad

01:18:20.600 car accident. Uh, he's got a, you know, he has a souped up Barracuda, like 1970 or 68 Barracuda.

01:18:28.180 And that thing, uh, went off the road, I think flipped, took the roof right off, blow, broke

01:18:35.340 the glass. Uh, the driver, uh, is, uh, in the hospital for back problems. Uh, the driver's

01:18:42.580 wife is okay. And Kevin Hart walked away from the scene. Um, but it was, it was weird. Here's

01:18:49.540 the 911 audio of the eyewitness. Uh, let me just hear this, this here first.

01:18:55.380 Sounds like the passenger's stuck in the car. Uh, the driver's out of the car, but, uh,

01:19:00.280 he looks a little hurt. Uh, I think the top of the car is crushed.

01:19:04.080 How many people are stuck inside, do you know?

01:19:06.020 I think it's just one lady, you know. Uh, the driver's out right now. They're trying

01:19:09.340 to get the passenger out.

01:19:10.720 This is no off real quick.

01:19:12.520 Okay, so there was only, there were only the two people in while this guy is describing

01:19:17.160 it because Kevin Hart lived down the street and he walked home. He left the scene and walked

01:19:22.980 home. Now, this is the 911 call from Kevin Hart's wife after he is home for a while. And listen

01:19:33.280 to how calm she is and, and what she's saying. It just, it just doesn't make sense. Listen to this.

01:19:39.400 He was in a car accident earlier tonight or what happened?

01:19:42.120 Yes, earlier tonight. I don't know what happened. He's not coherent at all.

01:19:49.020 Did he get treatment originally from when he was injured? Did he go to the hospital or?

01:19:52.800 No, no, no, no treatment at all. We, we, we're just here and he can't, he can't move.

01:19:58.960 Is there any, uh, obvious broken bones that you can tell? Do you see anything broken?

01:20:03.020 Just something on his back is pulling out on his spine.

01:20:07.400 Holy cow. Now, why, why did he walk away? And you know, there's lots of reasons, uh, for this

01:20:18.160 and you know, some not good and, and some perfectly reasonable. I think, you know, he's maybe in shock

01:20:25.920 at first and he thinks he's okay and he walks home, but he isn't moving. He's not responding.

01:20:30.740 And there's something sticking out of his spine. Uh, wow.

01:20:38.880 Um, pretty, uh, relaxed handling of a moment like that.

01:20:42.720 Yeah, really, really relaxed.

01:20:45.100 Yeah. That's a very strange, very strange story. Is he going to be okay? Do we know like what the,

01:20:50.520 yeah, I guess he's going to be okay.

01:20:52.680 Big back problems, right?

01:20:53.740 Yeah. Uh, but he's, he's going to live and he's going to work again and, and I'm glad

01:20:59.660 for all of that. Um, I like him. I think he seems like a nice, normal guy. You know, he's

01:21:05.420 a guy who kind of came up with a tough upbringing and busted his butt. I think he's from Philadelphia, 0.98

01:21:11.680 isn't he?

01:21:12.840 I think he is. Yeah.

01:21:13.700 I think you're right.

01:21:14.000 And, uh, you know, coming out of Philadelphia in some of those sections is not easy and he's risen

01:21:21.760 and he's from all accounts, a really nice guy. Uh, and except for his four tweets, his jokes.

01:21:30.480 Yeah. 0.98

01:21:30.760 Make him a horrible person. 1.00

01:21:32.300 Horrible human. Can you believe that people were coming after him this week? He's in the hospital. 0.98

01:21:37.680 Well, I, and they're coming after him again.

01:21:39.400 It's unreal. Did you see the Drew Brees thing? I know you're a huge, uh, you know exactly who Drew Brees is,

01:21:43.440 obviously. Sure. Uh, baseball player. Yeah. He's probably played baseball at some point in his

01:21:47.520 life. Uh, New Orleans Saints quarterback, of course, uh, did a spot for, uh, was it focus on

01:21:51.680 the family where he's, he was just helping like a 22nd promo. Hey, it's bring your Bible to, to school 0.77

01:21:57.720 day. And of course, focus on the family. They're an anti-gay organization. Why is Drew Brees promoting

01:22:04.860 an anti-gay organization? And so all these people came out and then Drew Brees is forced to come out

01:22:09.660 and say, look, I don't, I'm not saying I agree with all their views. And

01:22:12.980 I don't, uh, I was just trying to help kids and this is a guy, everybody should say, everybody

01:22:17.980 should say people, uh, you know, Ilan Omar and some of her cohorts in Congress, they

01:22:23.900 also support the Muslim Brotherhood and that's an anti-gay organization. So you want to figure

01:22:29.400 out that you go ahead and then come talk to me. Ilan's been tweeting about you, by the

01:22:33.280 way, we should probably get into that at some point today. Ilan Omar, anti-Glenbeck tweets

01:22:37.740 now. Yes. What a world we live in. And Dave Rubin next. You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:22:46.140 Well, we have Dave Rubin coming up in just a minute. Yeah. And that podcast is great,

01:23:03.800 by the way. You should totally listen to that. Uh, sponsor this half hour is a relief factor.

01:23:08.080 Uh, I actually woke up this morning. I think I slept on my shoulder wrong. And so that means

01:23:12.120 I've, I've now injured myself sleeping, uh, which is the first sign of getting old, I believe.

01:23:17.860 Um, now luckily it's not everyday pain. Yeah. And I know relief factor, like what does it

01:23:22.420 take about two weeks or three weeks? Takes about three weeks. I felt it a little earlier. Uh,

01:23:27.360 but I was like, you know, I was like, well, maybe it's not the relief factor. Cause I was told by my

01:23:32.980 wife, I had to do it. You have to take it. I'm tired of it. Take it, try it. Okay. All right. Uh, 0.90

01:23:39.440 so I tried it and, uh, it, it, it worked within three weeks. It was working for me and it works for

01:23:44.900 about 70% of the people and people who have really bad pain, really, really bad pain. It works

01:23:50.200 and it's non, uh, drug. It was created by doctors, but it reduces inflammation. Call 800-583-84,

01:23:58.100 800-583-84, relieffactor.com. Maybe we should just rub some over Joe Biden's eye. Um, I'm not sure.

01:24:07.280 800-583-84, relieffactor.com. Does it work on complicated sleeping injuries?

01:24:13.680 Well, yes. With you. Okay. Yeah. But your head might disappear when we reduce inflammation. 0.98

01:24:20.200 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:24:37.380 Blaze had an exciting announcement this week that Dave Rubin is going to be joining our lineup. He

01:24:44.180 still has the Rubin report that he does on his own thing. He has a exciting new app that he's going to

01:24:50.060 be launching, but he is also now part of the Blaze TV lineup, the Rubin report. If you don't know

01:24:57.360 who Dave Rubin is, uh, you need to meet him and he's on with us next. This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:25:08.420 When you go and buy a house, you end up, you know, signing a billion pieces of paper and it is enough

01:25:14.160 to make Joe Biden's other eye bleed. Uh, and you just, you just don't want to do this by yourself.

01:25:20.820 And you certainly, you know, don't want to do this without a real estate agent that you are, you know,

01:25:26.820 fully engaged with and trust because they dropped the ball on something and you're screwed.

01:25:33.160 So when you go get a real estate agent, how are you finding them? You finding them in an ad?

01:25:38.420 Are you finding them online? Is it just the person that sold you the house? You actually should

01:25:45.380 actually look for a great real estate agent, but how do you know what a good one is?

01:25:50.360 That's where real estate agents, I trust.com come in years ago. My wife and I started this company,

01:25:55.160 uh, and the name says it all. We wanted to take the best practices, something that I had learned from,

01:26:00.320 uh, some of the 500 best real estate agents in the country. According to the wall street journal,

01:26:04.900 I was doing work with this group. And, uh, over the years I started asking them questions like,

01:26:09.840 how do I find you guys? How do I know what are the best practices? So we decided to put this list

01:26:15.260 together and say, all right, so these are the best practices. Now let's go find those real estate

01:26:19.800 agents that do this and have great results. That's who we're going to turn you on to. It's a free service.

01:26:26.820 If you're looking to buy or sell right now, you call real estate agents, I trust.com just go online,

01:26:33.140 real estate agents, I trust.com. They're going to have somebody get back to you within a few minutes

01:26:38.000 and you'll be able to buy or sell your house with real confidence, real estate agents, I trust.com.

01:26:53.540 Dave Rubin's journey from a left leading progressive to a free thinking classical liberal

01:27:00.140 has been quite a journey and we've been watching it now for years. And Dave and I have become friends.

01:27:07.120 And, uh, uh, I just hosted his, uh, podcast this week as he came back from a month away from all

01:27:16.080 media, all devices, all electronics, all news. Uh, and, uh, he's, he is totally refreshed and has real

01:27:24.340 perspective. We announced this week that, uh, Dave is joining the blaze TV lineup. And what we're

01:27:30.720 trying to do is, is make sure that we, uh, we have some shelter from the storm and we are only going

01:27:38.340 to be strong if each of us are strong as individuals. So nobody's carrying the other, uh, and we're each

01:27:44.920 strong as independent, uh, people and broadcasters or, or podcasters. And then we also come together

01:27:52.260 under an umbrella so we can fight together as well. So Dave is keeping everything that he is

01:27:57.780 before. If you're a subscriber of Dave's, uh, you still get everything you have ever had and nothing

01:28:02.880 changes for you. But if you're a blaze subscriber blaze tv.com, you, uh, uh, you will now get in the

01:28:09.840 lineup, the Rubin report and you get it, uh, early just like everybody else. Uh, and the whole archives

01:28:15.820 will be moving over soon. So we have blaze tv.com slash Dave, and you'll save $20. If you

01:28:22.040 subscribe now and, uh, become a fan of the Rubin report on blaze TV, welcome Dave Rubin. How are

01:28:28.900 you? Glenn, it's good to be with you. I officially handed the hard drive over to your people to be

01:28:36.800 taken to Texas and uploaded. So the deal is on, you know, I tell you, Dave, it's so funny. Cause

01:28:43.400 we announced this, um, because they've been working on the contract for a while and going back and

01:28:48.540 forth. And with you in, you know, wherever you were Botswana, uh, it wasn't, it wasn't real easy

01:28:54.180 to be able to get, uh, you know, a contract done with you. Um, and, um, uh, so we did it on a handshake

01:29:00.680 before we announced it. And I like that. I like the, uh, I like the idea that two people can come

01:29:07.700 together and just look each other in the eye and just say, look, I know the attorneys have a lot of

01:29:12.600 work to do, but we're not going to screw you. You're not going to screw us. Let's just be cool

01:29:16.880 about this. And I love that. Yeah. Well, I love it too. And quite literally, I mean, five seconds

01:29:23.360 before we did that live stream on my channel, we knew we were getting close, but you know,

01:29:27.600 I wanted to announce it and we knew a lot of eyeballs would be on us. And I just put my hand

01:29:31.400 out and you put your hand out and I knew we would be good. And you know, within 24 hours, the lawyers

01:29:37.120 took care of all the, all the little legal stuff that, you know, you and I don't want to really think

01:29:41.600 about, but it's kind of funny. So I did do this, this 33 days off the grid. And the only thing

01:29:46.780 that I did was every now and again, I had to jump on the phone with my lawyer to talk to the blaze

01:29:52.780 lawyers. And I thought that's, that's really something you try to escape the grid for 33

01:29:56.920 days. And the only communication you have with the outside world is with a lawyer. I may have done

01:30:01.400 something slightly wrong. Yeah, I think so. I think so. Dave, let me ask you a question. I did

01:30:06.720 Bridget Phetasy. I did Bridget Phetasy's podcast last week. I did Stephen Kent. He just did Beltway

01:30:16.180 Bantha's, which is a great, I don't know if you've ever heard it. I love the way he talks

01:30:20.720 about politics. He puts it all in with star Wars. And then, and then I did yours and everybody always

01:30:28.580 starts their podcast with, look, I know a lot of my listeners are, you know, they might hate this guy,

01:30:34.820 but I think you're going to be really surprised. And I always am bashed by everybody. However,

01:30:40.660 whenever I have you guys on anybody, even on the left on my show, I rarely see people bashed.

01:30:49.760 I rarely know. I have yet to see maybe five in my career, people saying, if you have this person on,

01:30:57.540 I'm no longer a subscriber of yours. There's a difference between this audience. Why can't we

01:31:03.800 all just start to look at each other and go, Hey, I don't agree with everything that Dave Rubin says,

01:31:08.700 or Glenn Beck says, but I'm glad everybody's talking.

01:31:13.480 Sure. Well, look, if I do anything for you in the course of this partnership, hopefully it'll be that

01:31:18.240 whatever remaining lefties are sane and willing to talk or, or the few liberals scattered throughout

01:31:24.800 the galaxy that are willing to do that. Hopefully I'll get them to say, you know, you don't have to

01:31:30.400 give Glenn the intro where you, you know, you say, Oh, I don't agree with everything he says or,

01:31:35.300 or the rest of it because nobody agrees with everybody, you know, anyone else on, on literally

01:31:40.300 anything. And, you know, you can find clips where I thought something different, you know,

01:31:44.480 two years ago or four years ago. And, and, and evolving is, is really what it's all about.

01:31:49.300 It's really great. In fact, that's what I love about you. Your honesty, you were,

01:31:55.760 I believe the first person that I found that was willing to be really honest about the mistakes

01:32:04.240 that you made in your life and were, were honestly doing soul searching, not for, I mean,

01:32:10.620 in fact, against, uh, any kind of business rule and business sense, you were honest enough to say,

01:32:18.720 look, uh, and I correct me if I'm wrong, but British, uh, uh, Bridget Phetasy says they were

01:32:25.020 factory settings in her that were just set to liberal. Were they factory settings with you

01:32:30.380 that were set to liberal? Yeah. Well, I think, I think those factory settings, meaning that when

01:32:36.580 you grow up, if you grow up basically in the secular world, which, which most of us in America

01:32:41.760 mostly do, uh, that the factory settings, the, the ideas that are going to be thought of as the okay

01:32:48.420 ideas, the ideas that you can talk about without being labeled a racist or a bigot or the rest of

01:32:53.240 it, they basically are, are ideas of the left that, you know, the government can kind of fix everything

01:32:58.520 and we should take from some and give to the others. And, you know, the litany of, of specific

01:33:03.980 issues goes all the way down the line. And when I, you know, as I was, I was progressive,

01:33:09.020 I was on the, um, turn, which is a pretty far left network. Um, I, I always had true liberal roots

01:33:15.360 and I come from a truly liberal family in the best sense of liberalism, like a JFK liberalism or

01:33:20.920 Daniel Patrick Moynihan or Ed Koch liberalism, which, which, you know, someone on the right might

01:33:25.500 have some issues with, but usually find the conversation with people like that. Yes. Okay.

01:33:30.300 Now, ironically, the three men I just mentioned, all, all once great politicians, they're all dead

01:33:34.580 because there's very few of these liberals remaining. And you can see that just with

01:33:38.860 who the Democrats are, are putting up now. Um, but you know, when you, when you wake up out of

01:33:44.300 that and you start asking questions, it's not that the specific issues change so quickly as you will

01:33:53.100 be shocked where suddenly you will find friends and how, and more importantly, how quickly the left

01:33:59.160 will purge you out. So it's interesting what you said about your audience. When you bring on a lefty,

01:34:04.180 your audience is completely okay with it. But when you go on a, on a more lefty show that they have

01:34:09.020 to, you know, qualify it and quantify it and warn everybody. And I find the same thing, which is

01:34:14.080 actually hilarious. So when I bring on, uh, someone from the right, um, you know, the lefties go

01:34:20.300 completely insane. If I, you know, even when I had you on the other day, I glanced through the

01:34:23.960 comments quickly, which no one in their right mind should do. And a lot of people are very upset that

01:34:27.680 I had Glenn back on when I bring on someone from the left. So even just in the last, you know,

01:34:31.760 two months, I've had Marianne Williamson on, I've had Andrew Yang on, I've had plenty of lefties on

01:34:36.260 generally, I would say, I would say something like 90% of the comments from the people on the right

01:34:41.100 are basically like, you know, I disagree with these ideas or Marianne Williamson is a little

01:34:46.120 kooky, or I'm not down with UBI, universal basic income with like Andrew Yang, but it was nice to hear

01:34:51.520 the conversation. And that right there, that right there, that in essence is the divide that we have

01:34:57.980 in America right now. And, and that's why I keep saying that on the, on the, say center-right,

01:35:03.780 um, you know, anywhere from conservative to libertarian, uh, there is such a richness right

01:35:09.300 now. And, and that's the place that I'm interested in exploring. That's why I wanted to do this,

01:35:14.200 this partnership with you. And that's why I'm so psyched for, for the next year, which is

01:35:18.220 obviously going to be pretty bananas.

01:35:19.480 Yeah, it is. Um, let me, uh, let me talk to you about Hollywood. I was only out there for a couple

01:35:26.000 of days, Dave, and I, I saw a difference in almost everybody that I met with. Um, and here's the

01:35:34.580 difference. People who would never, never have voted for a Republican ever, and certainly never for

01:35:43.800 Donald Trump from big funders of the democratic party, big supporters, people who are lifelong

01:35:50.980 Democrats. They have all said, if it is, if it is anyone besides Biden, I'm voting for Trump.

01:36:00.900 Yeah. I mean, it's crazy. I look, I live here in Los Angeles. It's quite a bubble. I'm, I'm happy to say,

01:36:07.120 uh, that you and I were able to go out in Beverly Hills and then nobody assaulted us. Uh, actually,

01:36:13.380 we got a couple of smiles. That was nice. There is a shift. There is a shift. And the shift has,

01:36:18.980 in a weird way, has less to do what's happening on the right and more to do with how hysterical

01:36:24.240 the left has become. And the idea that they've, the idea that they've brought out Biden clearly,

01:36:29.680 clearly does not want to do this and may not have, uh, the mental capacity or energy to, to do this

01:36:37.040 at, at his age. And he sees fumbling and bumbling through a lot of stuff. And he didn't run

01:36:41.360 when Obama, you know, finished up his two terms. So that kind of makes you think he didn't really

01:36:46.080 want to do this, but they, they brought him out as the last message, the last effort to stop the

01:36:52.580 democratic socialist movement. And that is what's coming. And guess what? They're going to drop the

01:36:57.340 word democratic pretty quick. I mean, they're holding onto that right now, but if you watched

01:37:01.340 any of this climate change summit that they did, I mean, the things that they were saying,

01:37:05.480 it was insane. I mean, Bernie Sanders was basically saying that unless we fund abortions in other

01:37:12.300 countries in South America, uh, that, that, that's going to affect climate change. I mean,

01:37:17.240 the policies are actually ridiculous. If you, if you listen to them, however, the factory settings

01:37:23.200 of the way the media translates all of this for you, the average person that, that the average person

01:37:28.820 that's just out there that has a job and has a family and can only devote so much time to this,

01:37:32.640 they, they have trouble translating what all of that means. And I think the job for people like

01:37:37.740 us over the next year in a world that's getting more and more fractured for your time, uh, it's

01:37:43.320 going to be for us to be as efficient as possible in getting the most important stuff across because

01:37:48.420 otherwise the more, the more we get split, you know, the harder it'll be to get truth out of

01:37:53.160 anything. Right. And that is one reason why Dave, we have to stand together with people who have

01:37:59.040 like principles. If you believe in the bill of rights, you're good. You're good. I'll stand with

01:38:05.780 you. If you want to overturn the bill of rights, then we have problems, but we, we all speak different

01:38:12.700 languages. We all speak to a different audience. The, the, the Uber left has broken us all apart

01:38:19.080 and, and, and successfully made it so no one can talk to each other. And if we, who are of like mind

01:38:26.120 on the bill of rights can't come together, we're going to be, we're going to be destroyed. We must

01:38:33.540 stand together. So you, you can have a, you can have a movement where you can say, no, look, I disagree

01:38:42.040 with that person over there on this, this, and this, but they're making a very important point. So we have

01:38:49.160 a broader ground right now. The mass media has that broad ground, but we're all separated from

01:38:56.380 each other. We've got to link arms. Well, you said something really interesting to me on the,

01:39:02.280 on the live stream a couple of days ago, which you were, you were telling me which democratic

01:39:06.220 candidates had dropped out and keep staying and all that. And, uh, you mentioned that Tulsi Gabbard

01:39:10.640 is no longer, she hasn't dropped out, but they're not going to have her in the debates now. And I

01:39:13.960 was interesting, which was, which was that you disagree with her on almost all of her policy

01:39:18.640 prescriptions, but you believe that she loves the country. And, and that is where you want to be in

01:39:24.940 a pluralistic country where there's over 300 million people in this country. And I do, I do not want all 1.00

01:39:30.820 of the people to agree with me, even if I am right. I'm pretty sure I'm pretty sure I'm not, but, but even

01:39:37.080 if I was, I would not want that because we need a healthy tension in, in a political debate to always keep us

01:39:43.260 on check. And that's why it's so disappointing that, that Tulsi, it looks like she'll, she'll

01:39:47.340 eventually have to drop because once they give you the signal that you're not in debate, you know,

01:39:50.920 you're, you're pretty much toast, but, but we need more, more voices like that. And that's, again,

01:39:55.820 that's why I wanted to do this deal with the blaze because, you know, we haven't even discussed

01:39:59.780 big tech, but there's so many forces circling the wagons around us. And I knew that that partnering

01:40:06.200 with you and the blaze and what you guys have built and have still my ability to remain

01:40:10.540 independent. As I said, on the live stream, you're, you're not my boss. I might be your

01:40:14.640 boss. We're still looking into that one. It was a rather fast contract. That was why I shook

01:40:20.880 your hand so quick. Yeah, right. It was pretty clever. Dave, hang on just a second. Hang on.

01:40:25.760 I have to take a, I have to take a break. Hang on just a second. So I want to continue our

01:40:29.060 conversation because Dave said something to me during the podcast that I did on his show

01:40:33.780 that I thought was fascinating that we didn't explore more with Dave Rubin. Now part of the

01:40:38.780 blaze TV lineup, Dave Rubin sign up now. All right. Last few days been crazy. Walmart has

01:40:45.100 decided to severely cut the types of ammunition that they carry. You know, it might be a good

01:40:49.560 thing for small business, you know, gun store owners, but it is dangerous for the country in

01:40:54.520 many, many ways. I believe the socialist leaning politics on the left, the scary levels of apathy

01:41:00.380 in some areas on the right. We may be seeing the end of our gun rights slowly winnowed away

01:41:06.240 here. Uh, and, uh, it's, it's, uh, without the second amendment, first amendment is gone.

01:41:14.100 This is why the U S concealed carry association exists. They provide self-defense education,

01:41:19.000 training, and legal protection to over 300,000 responsibly armed Americans, just like you and

01:41:24.840 me. Now this month, just to introduce themselves are giving away thousand dollars to 19 lucky winners

01:42:12.660 The Rubin report aims to create civil discourse with people we agree and disagree with.

01:42:20.160 Uh, Dave Rubin has changed a lot from factory settings and, and Dave, I want to talk to you

01:42:25.220 about one thing you said to me. You were talking about going on the road with Jordan Peterson and

01:42:28.740 how much he changed you. You're known as an atheist, but you've never been a, you've never

01:42:33.820 been an atheist that, you know, I hate Christians. You just don't believe in God. Um, but you said 0.97

01:42:39.120 that that is changing somewhat for you. And I didn't gather that it was a, I found God. It's

01:42:44.960 like you found the importance of God in society. Did I read that right?

01:42:49.800 Yeah. Yeah. I, well, basically, you know, the one thing I would say just quickly on the, on

01:42:54.560 the bio part of it, I grew up in a mostly, uh, secular Jewish household and, you know,

01:43:00.320 we celebrated all the holidays. We actually did a Friday night Shabbat dinner, that sort

01:43:04.840 of thing. And it was really based in, in tradition. And I'm very proud of the, unfortunately, and

01:43:09.300 often painful history of my people. I have a huge identification with that. Um, but, but

01:43:14.280 I never found a major need for religion itself per se. I can sort of separate the tradition

01:43:20.240 in the religion. And, you know, there, it's a little bit different, I think for Jews,

01:43:23.660 because there's a, there's a cultural attachment that almost has nothing to do with religion,

01:43:27.200 but that's a whole other, a whole other conversation. Um, I, I, a couple of years ago,

01:43:31.860 I had had a series of shows where I had a bunch of fairly well-known atheists on. And in one

01:43:36.580 of the shows, I said something about being an atheist and it just sort of came out of my

01:43:39.860 mouth and it wasn't something that I had put too much thought into. And then suddenly the

01:43:43.480 atheist community kind of really latched onto that. And over the last couple of years,

01:43:47.440 I've kind of walked that back because I do believe that there is something outside of

01:43:52.100 myself. And I think the year that I spent with Jordan on the road where, you know, he

01:43:56.440 does these biblical lectures and, and, you know, I would say the way I can claim a conversation

01:44:01.940 about God actually would be the way that the founders tried to, which is that they were

01:44:06.620 writing the laws that would free us from religion and, and not force us to be in any religion,

01:44:12.580 but they talked about God given rights, meaning that the government did not give us these

01:44:16.800 rights. Something outside of ourselves made us free. So I think part of what's happening

01:44:22.560 right now with the left is they've gone so deep on secularism. They've gone so deep

01:44:27.300 on, Oh, we can fix this. Oh, man can bring us to utopia, which of course history repeats

01:44:35.080 itself endlessly. It only will bring us to dystopia. I think that if you put too much faith in man,

01:44:39.960 well, then you see what, what the progressives will always bring on you because the progressives

01:44:44.600 of today will be hated by the progressives, progressives of tomorrow. So you need something

01:44:50.200 outside of yourself. And I would say there, usually that comes within a religious context.

01:44:57.220 Dave, you are, uh, you're always fascinating. I'd love to talk to you again. We, we have so much

01:45:02.600 to talk about with, uh, uh, with, with Google and Amazon and Facebook and YouTube. Um, uh, I know,

01:45:11.800 did you hear the latest on, on what the administration is, is we haven't heard from Trump on this yet,

01:45:16.900 but the administration is floating, uh, an idea that Apple through their watch, Amazon and Google

01:45:23.380 through home and echo are, are, uh, could be our red flaggers. They could be listening and monitoring.

01:45:29.580 So we know who can buy a gun and who can't. It's crazy stuff. And I'd love to have you back and talk

01:45:34.560 about that, Dave. We're in a Philip K. Dick novel, my friend. We've got a lot of work to do.

01:45:40.020 We do. Thank you so much, Dave. God bless. Dave Rubin from the Rubin Report now on Blaze TV.

01:47:26.340 Oh, I liked it. 0.59

01:47:27.060 You're not allowed to say that sort of thing?

01:47:28.500 No.

01:47:29.340 That's like, uh.

01:47:30.060 That's against the rules, right?

01:47:31.160 It is, right?

01:47:31.680 You can't talk like that.

01:47:32.560 You can't talk like that.

01:47:32.580 You can't talk like that.

01:47:32.600 You can't talk like that.

01:47:32.940 That's like if you, Jordan.

01:47:33.960 You've got to be silenced.

01:47:35.260 You have to be de-personed.

01:47:36.520 What if somebody hears that and destroys the movie? 0.82

01:47:39.540 By the way, the latest Jordan Peele movie sucked too.

01:47:42.200 Uh, what was it, uh, uh, them, us, uh, what was it called? 0.98

01:47:46.400 That sucked too. 0.91

01:47:47.300 You know what?

01:47:47.720 That's, that, that's, get out was great. 0.98

01:47:49.800 This one sucked. 0.95

01:47:51.240 Uh, hate to say it. 0.98

01:47:52.240 And apparently it too seems to have, uh, not been embraced.

01:47:54.800 It's getting badly used.

01:47:55.960 Oh no.

01:47:56.460 Really?

01:47:56.860 Yeah.

01:47:57.820 Were you going this week?

01:47:58.980 I don't know.

01:48:00.380 I love it.

01:48:00.960 I didn't realize you were a fan of it.

01:48:02.900 Oh my gosh.

01:48:04.140 It's one of my favorite books.

01:48:05.680 Really?

01:48:06.140 Oh, I love it.

01:48:07.200 I love it.

01:48:07.800 Rafe read it when he was like 10.

01:48:09.740 He read it when he was 10.

01:48:13.780 And did he not sleep for the next six months?

01:48:15.480 No, he didn't bother him.

01:48:16.680 He didn't bother him?

01:48:17.400 No, he was just as pissed off about the spider as I was. 1.00

01:48:20.340 Yeah, the spider was stupid. 1.00

01:48:21.200 Yeah, it was ridiculous. 1.00

01:48:22.580 Rotten Tomatoes stayed 67% for it. 0.59

01:48:25.480 That's nothing.

01:48:26.060 I mean, for a horror movie.

01:48:27.100 I mean, it's much lower than the first one.

01:48:29.120 But that's...

01:48:29.620 What was the first one?

01:48:30.960 84%.

01:48:31.360 Yeah, I thought the first one was pretty good.

01:48:32.880 Yeah, it wasn't, but this one isn't either, I guess.

01:48:34.460 Yeah, it wasn't, but...

01:48:35.660 Excellent.

01:48:36.100 So, we have Burger King's new Whoppers coming, right?

01:48:43.520 Oh, the Impossible Whopper.

01:48:44.560 Yeah.

01:48:44.860 Yes, that's the rumor.

01:48:47.220 Have you heard?

01:48:48.200 Are they any good?

01:48:49.240 I have...

01:48:50.620 Aren't they from the same company?

01:48:51.920 Wouldn't it be about the same?

01:48:52.900 Well, somebody said that they're making them in the microwave.

01:48:55.760 Is it a lesser cut of plant?

01:48:58.000 Yeah.

01:48:58.740 That Hopdoddy is using? 1.00

01:49:02.440 It's actually a custom thing, though, made for Burger King.

01:49:05.760 Because they have a certain, like, size to fit the Whopper buns and, like, the look.

01:49:11.200 I think it has, like, the grill marks on it and such.

01:49:13.460 Yeah, I heard that.

01:49:14.360 Yeah.

01:49:14.720 So, I think it does taste the same.

01:49:18.440 You can get it made in the microwave.

01:49:20.340 There was an issue with some, you know, because it's like a Burger King grill.

01:49:25.040 Right.

01:49:25.260 And they're like, Burger King's like, look, we're not cleaning it.

01:49:27.920 We're throwing it right in there just like every other burger.

01:49:30.360 So, a lot of...

01:49:31.640 Oh, wow.

01:49:32.180 So, like, real vegans who don't want any kind of meat to avoid it.

01:49:36.240 Yeah, you'd like to avoid it.

01:49:36.260 Like, stew.

01:49:36.840 Right.

01:49:37.040 If meat touches anything on his plate, he won't eat anything on the plate.

01:49:41.860 Right?

01:49:42.480 I mean, I guess it should depend on the breakup there of that, right?

01:49:45.580 I mean, I wouldn't eat the thing that touched the meat.

01:49:48.360 But if it's on the other side, where there's no juice or...

01:49:51.520 Right.

01:49:51.760 Like, if there's a demilitarized zone of mashed potatoes, I'll eat the other side of the mashed potatoes.

01:49:56.020 Okay.

01:49:56.940 Do you have the little cafeteria plates with the little sections in them?

01:50:00.720 No, I don't.

01:50:01.220 I don't put meat on the plate because I don't eat it.

01:50:04.540 My daughter was to the point to where I was going to get those for her for her wedding gift. 1.00

01:50:10.100 And she luckily got over that.

01:50:11.320 She couldn't touch food.

01:50:12.560 If it touched each other, she couldn't eat it.

01:50:14.520 Oh, right.

01:50:15.440 She was like, that was weird.

01:50:16.880 Yeah, that happens to kids a lot, though.

01:50:19.280 Yeah.

01:50:20.160 Usually not when they're adults.

01:50:21.900 But it wasn't a meat thing, right?

01:50:23.900 No.

01:50:24.380 Yeah.

01:50:24.760 No, now it is.

01:50:26.300 Now it is.

01:50:26.900 Is she vegetarian? 0.99

01:50:29.040 Yeah.

01:50:29.700 Is there some viral disease that's going around?

01:50:32.540 I don't know.

01:50:33.340 It's tied to what's happening here.

01:50:34.660 Tanya's talking about it, too.

01:50:35.940 And I'm like, you are going to...

01:50:37.100 I'm tying her down tonight, and I'm just forcing meat. 1.00

01:50:40.400 You're having some chicken.

01:50:41.720 Here's some fish.

01:50:43.040 Here's some beef.

01:50:44.740 Jackie's been...

01:50:45.060 You're going to like it.

01:50:45.720 For about three months now.

01:50:46.880 She just won't.

01:50:48.020 She said it first.

01:50:48.920 Oh, I'll have meat sometimes.

01:50:52.180 No.

01:50:52.640 She has meat never. 1.00

01:50:53.660 No.

01:50:54.060 It's like, no, thank you.

01:50:57.400 Family get together.

01:50:58.560 She won't touch it.

01:50:59.340 I don't know why.

01:51:00.700 Why is it that I can't just have all meat?

01:51:05.300 Okay?

01:51:05.940 Everybody...

01:51:06.800 No, my wife is like, you can't just have all beef all the time. 1.00

01:51:11.720 Why?

01:51:12.020 Why?

01:51:12.400 You don't have any.

01:51:14.500 I'm making up for your portion.

01:51:16.340 You are having all vegetables.

01:51:18.440 I want all beef.

01:51:20.320 I don't want chicken.

01:51:21.460 I don't want fish.

01:51:22.500 I want beef.

01:51:23.560 You can have that, right?

01:51:24.760 That's Atkins, essentially.

01:51:26.300 Yeah.

01:51:26.500 No, but...

01:51:27.100 No, my wife... 1.00

01:51:28.040 Oh, you're saying not that it's a dietary issue.

01:51:31.560 It's a I can't stand up to my wife issue. 1.00

01:51:35.000 That's the issue.

01:51:35.980 Oh, my.

01:51:36.400 Oh, wow.

01:51:37.020 Wow.

01:51:37.400 Wow.

01:51:38.140 Did you hear that?

01:51:39.080 Wow, yeah.

01:51:39.560 Well...

01:51:39.880 Pat's wife is a vegan, and he seems to be having no trouble getting meat.

01:51:43.420 I'm having plenty of meat.

01:51:44.160 So I don't know what your issue is exactly.

01:51:47.720 I just don't want conflict in my life.

01:51:50.920 I just hate conflict so much.

01:51:52.560 Oh, I noticed that on Twitter.

01:51:53.880 When you're trading tweets with Ilhan Omar on Twitter, I'm sure...

01:51:57.700 I wasn't trading tweets with her.

01:51:59.220 Well, she's tweeting about you.

01:52:00.540 Yeah, she's tweeting about...

01:52:01.420 Oh, she did?

01:52:02.220 Yes.

01:52:02.540 Oh, yeah.

01:52:02.900 I didn't see that.

01:52:03.420 Oh, yeah. 1.00

01:52:03.860 She said Glenn was an idiot. 1.00

01:52:05.900 Yeah. 1.00

01:52:06.320 I'm an idiot because of what I've been exposing. 0.99

01:52:09.220 I'm just... 0.99

01:52:09.660 This is dangerous stuff that's, you know...

01:52:11.700 What have you exposed that she didn't agree with?

01:52:13.560 All the lies about her with, you know, campaign finance.

01:52:17.360 That's right.

01:52:18.120 You did a whole special.

01:52:19.580 Yeah.

01:52:20.140 Yeah.

01:52:20.840 Yeah.

01:52:21.180 Okay.

01:52:21.520 Well, because I just want to...

01:52:22.920 Can I walk people through this quickly?

01:52:24.560 Yeah, yeah.

01:52:24.940 So Glenn has a clip of his show posted in which he says, basically, like, Ilhan Omar...

01:52:31.340 I can't remember the exact context.

01:52:33.480 And, of course, I think it was posted initially by Media Matters, so they never include any context.

01:52:37.300 So I don't even remember what you were talking about.

01:52:39.340 But you said something about Ilhan Omar and the destruction of America.

01:52:43.040 Like, she's looking for the destruction of America or something like that.

01:52:46.040 Now, I don't know if you were talking about...

01:52:48.220 I don't know what you...

01:52:49.120 I couldn't grasp it from the context exactly what you meant.

01:52:52.600 But that was shared around the media.

01:52:55.680 And Ilhan Omar saw that.

01:52:57.500 And she responded to you saying, as public officials, we can't really sue and just have

01:53:03.200 to live with all the vile, untrue things people say about us.

01:53:06.420 Now, you wouldn't be familiar with that concept at all.

01:53:08.380 No, not at all.

01:53:08.940 Right?

01:53:08.960 That's totally important.

01:53:09.960 No, not at all.

01:53:10.360 But Ilhan Omar goes on to say, but we can make sure that people understand what love for 0.99

01:53:14.680 America really looks like, and that this idiot doesn't have an inch of the love that I have 1.00

01:53:21.020 for our country. 1.00

01:53:22.640 Oh, my gosh.

01:53:23.480 Because she's so super patriotic.

01:53:25.260 I just want to say, I think it's an ounce, not an inch.

01:53:27.960 Okay.

01:53:28.340 All right.

01:53:28.720 It would be.

01:53:28.840 I just want to throw that one in there.

01:53:31.780 At least you didn't go centimeter.

01:53:33.100 Right.

01:53:33.580 I mean, you didn't go metric, and that makes you feel good.

01:53:36.080 Yeah.

01:53:36.560 So a little bit crazy.

01:53:38.040 Go ahead and bring these in.

01:53:38.980 These are the Whoppers.

01:53:40.940 Smells good.

01:53:42.020 Food.

01:53:43.000 Yeah, just what we need.

01:53:44.180 Food.

01:53:44.500 This is patriotism right here.

01:53:46.160 All right.

01:53:46.400 So we're going to try the fake meat and the real meat.

01:53:52.400 Oh, man.

01:53:52.980 And see if we can tell the difference between the Whoppers.

01:53:55.220 Oh, no.

01:53:55.460 They haven't really upgraded the look of the Whopper, have they?

01:53:58.340 No.

01:53:58.660 No.

01:53:58.960 It's supposed to look and, you know, basically be the same type of thing.

01:54:03.000 Okay.

01:54:03.200 One is a different color.

01:54:04.540 One is more gray.

01:54:05.460 One is more brown.

01:54:06.620 Mm-hmm.

01:54:07.960 So are there...

01:54:09.280 Okay.

01:54:09.820 All right.

01:54:10.160 I think the gray one is probably more meat, because they're not trying to make it look

01:54:15.020 like meat.

01:54:15.640 So we're trying A first?

01:54:18.040 I'm trying A.

01:54:18.680 Presumably.

01:54:22.440 Mm-hmm.

01:54:25.460 Mm-hmm.

01:54:29.660 Doing an impossible burger.

01:54:31.260 Impossible Whopper taste test, by the way, if you're just joining us.

01:54:33.540 And I would say that that's true, except the other thing is I'm just eating one, because

01:54:38.220 I don't eat the meat one, so I'm just eating an impossible burger, which is really not part

01:54:43.160 of the taste test.

01:54:43.720 I'm just eating on the air.

01:54:44.860 So does that taste as good as the other one we had?

01:54:46.900 This tastes just as good a month or so ago.

01:54:48.520 Uh, as, um, as the thing that I had last time I tried it.

01:54:53.620 Um, which is...

01:54:55.820 Okay.

01:54:56.460 Mm-hmm.

01:54:57.340 Um, all right.

01:54:58.620 Glenn and Pat now both trying the impossible Whopper and the regular Whopper.

01:55:02.240 There's two of them.

01:55:02.960 Cleansing my palate first, and now...

01:55:05.140 Dabbing into the other one.

01:55:07.080 I think the real Whopper...

01:55:08.560 Mm-hmm.

01:55:09.320 ...is A.

01:55:10.260 Me too.

01:55:10.960 The fake Whopper is B.

01:55:13.140 Yep.

01:55:13.460 And it's still good.

01:55:14.480 I mean, it's not great.

01:55:16.420 It's not...

01:55:17.200 It's still good.

01:55:17.900 The Whopper isn't great either, right?

01:55:20.180 Like, the Whopper is just a...

01:55:21.180 Yeah, that's a good point.

01:55:22.500 It's a fast food burger.

01:55:22.960 Yeah, it's like, um...

01:55:25.020 I wouldn't know.

01:55:25.580 You could serve it to me, and I wouldn't necessarily know.

01:55:29.440 Uh, you know, on this one, it tastes a little bit planty.

01:55:34.780 I think.

01:55:36.700 Well, this one...

01:55:37.860 It's pretty close, but it's not quite there.

01:55:39.960 Right.

01:55:40.140 I don't even know if that's the right one, though.

01:55:41.920 So, yeah, well, I will say...

01:55:42.760 But I think it is.

01:55:43.560 This time, you are correct.

01:55:44.840 Okay.

01:55:45.120 So, last time, you tried these with a more upscale burger place.

01:55:48.300 Yeah.

01:55:48.420 Could not tell the difference.

01:55:49.420 Actually, you thought it went the reverse, right?

01:55:51.680 This is definitely a lesser cut of plant.

01:55:53.620 Is that a lesser cut of plant?

01:55:54.520 Yeah.

01:55:54.880 Yeah, it is a different hog or something.

01:55:56.180 It's not the same.

01:55:57.000 No, it's not the same.

01:55:58.000 Mm-mm.

01:55:59.080 Well, they're charging a lot less for it, too.

01:56:00.700 I think it's the same price as a Whopper.

01:56:02.580 Right.

01:56:02.960 Isn't that right?

01:56:03.620 And then...

01:56:04.040 But at, like, Hopdotty, it's a few dollars more than a regular burger.

01:56:09.900 It's not bad.

01:56:10.440 I mean, if our kids can forget what America was like before 9-11, they'll forget what

01:56:15.440 meat tastes like if you just start serving them that.

01:56:17.660 Oh, yeah.

01:56:18.140 Oh, yeah.

01:56:18.600 Yeah.

01:56:18.840 I think that's...

01:56:19.640 It's definitely in the...

01:56:20.720 Especially when you...

01:56:21.740 You guys are eating around the edges where it's, you know, mostly meat.

01:56:25.240 You get to the middle where it's, like, cheese, you know, ketchup, mayonnaise, like, all

01:56:31.840 the stuff that they put on a Whopper.

01:56:33.280 I mean, I don't think, you know, there's not much talent there.

01:56:34.960 It'll be very similar, then.

01:56:36.240 Yeah.

01:56:36.600 Yeah.

01:56:37.220 Okay, so I have this from a Swedish behavioral scientist.

01:56:41.060 This is, you know, because the meat thing, we got to give up meat, and we got to give

01:56:46.480 up our cars, and we have to give up our homes, and we have to give up our air conditioning,

01:56:49.880 and we have to give up basically everything that you like that makes living as a human

01:56:54.960 being on Earth tolerable.

01:56:58.480 We have to give that all up because of global warming. 1.00

01:57:00.520 Oh, and we also have to kill, I think, brown children all around the world before they're 1.00

01:57:06.260 born. 0.99

01:57:07.160 That is an interesting part of the climate change hysteria, which is...

01:57:11.620 And the American taxpayers must pay for that.

01:57:13.380 Yes, of course.

01:57:14.600 This is Margaret Sanger.

01:57:17.760 Yeah.

01:57:18.460 I mean, implicit in what they're promising is keeping Africa in the third world, right? 1.00

01:57:24.560 Right.

01:57:24.820 Their version of whatever it is.

01:57:26.280 It's stopping their progress where it is now.

01:57:28.460 It's crazy.

01:57:28.700 Because if they develop, then the climate is in danger.

01:57:31.660 So we have to keep them where they are now.

01:57:34.420 I mean, not only is that a racist and hateful message, it's an awful, it's a borderline evil

01:57:39.880 message.

01:57:40.240 You're trying to keep people out of the trappings that we have for the climate crisis and control

01:57:47.580 over how much.

01:57:48.920 And, you know, for example, in Bernie Sanders' plan, it's $200 billion for this Green New

01:57:55.040 Deal of his. 0.55

01:57:55.700 $200 billion.

01:57:56.980 That's not the cost of the plan.

01:57:59.400 That's the cost of the plan that he wants to take from taxpayers and just give to other

01:58:02.900 countries.

01:58:03.600 Okay.

01:58:03.800 Just give it to them.

01:58:04.620 Okay.

01:58:04.780 Hang on just a second.

01:58:05.600 We have another way.

01:58:07.240 Okay.

01:58:07.520 Instead of all this fancy meat, there is appearing on a Swedish television talk show about, you

01:58:15.180 know, based on the food of the future, a Swedish behavioral scientist, Magnus Sunderland, says

01:58:22.960 that he is going to be holding seminars on the necessity of consuming a different kind

01:58:29.200 of meat in order to stop climate change.

01:58:31.940 He told the host of the show, one of the biggest obstacles of the proposal would be the taboo

01:58:39.340 nature of the fact that we would be defiling the deceased and eating corpses.

01:58:46.180 Human corpses.

01:58:47.460 Yeah.

01:58:47.680 Yeah.

01:58:47.860 It's just cannibalism he's talking about here.

01:58:49.780 He said, people are slightly conservative when it comes to eating things they are not accustomed

01:58:54.900 to, such as human cadavers.

01:58:57.420 Oh my gosh.

01:58:58.100 Now, I would say that I'm a little more than slightly conservative when it comes to eating

01:59:04.540 human cadavers.

01:59:05.460 You're pretty adamant about it.

01:59:07.040 Yeah.

01:59:07.580 I'm thinking that I don't know what I would have done if I were trapped in the snow with

01:59:16.800 a Donner party, but none of them were like, well, I'm kind of conservative on eating my fellow

01:59:23.360 traveler.

01:59:23.920 Uh, but you know what, afterwards they tasted pretty good and I think we should go that

01:59:29.800 way.

01:59:30.740 None of them went that way.

01:59:32.680 None of them.

01:59:33.420 Well, we don't know that we weren't, we weren't there.

01:59:35.500 Well, they did eat, they did eat the others, but they didn't go back then and start, you

01:59:40.780 know, thinking, Hey guys, I want to sell you on a new restaurant.

01:59:44.480 People burgers.

01:59:45.680 It didn't happen.

01:59:47.340 All right.

01:59:48.360 All right.

01:59:48.960 Thanks, Pat.

01:59:51.120 Take this.

01:59:52.420 You're going to take that?

01:59:53.140 I'm going to take that.

01:59:53.920 You're going to take this too.

01:59:55.100 You're going to leave the fake burger.

01:59:57.120 Wow.

01:59:58.100 There you go.

01:59:59.820 Thank you, Pat.

02:02:07.820 And India is getting into this now. 0.56

02:02:10.320 And, you know, it's, it's a little frightening.

02:02:12.340 Do you think it's frightening the gene splicing stuff and, you know, picking, you know, I mean,

02:02:17.600 if, if you can gene splice and have your kid be super, super smart, uh, there's definitely

02:02:23.140 some creepy areas here you can get into.

02:02:24.860 Yeah, there's creepy areas.

02:02:25.460 Some of it can be really positive, like disease elimination and things, but some of it gets

02:02:29.740 a little creepy.

02:02:30.280 Okay.

02:02:30.500 So, well, this is, this is India's plan. 0.98

02:02:33.220 Now this is according to their national commission for cows.

02:02:37.520 It's not made of cows.

02:02:42.620 It's a commission in favor of cows.

02:02:45.040 So making sure.

02:02:45.620 Yeah.

02:02:45.640 It's a commission for cows.

02:02:47.260 For cows, not of cows.

02:02:48.640 Well, I'm not sure on that.

02:02:50.760 So I'm going to get back to you on it.

02:02:52.020 But it's their national commission for cows and they're working with India's ministry of

02:02:57.140 Ayush.

02:02:59.780 Um, and, and they are now making a drug that can help your child be super, super smart.

02:03:08.400 If women take it during pregnancy and it is a drug that uses cow urine and cow feces. 0.93

02:03:16.020 And you, you take this, uh, with the promise.

02:03:21.440 Now this is this, I'm quoting that, uh, women may be able to produce smart, highly intellectual 1.00

02:03:28.380 and healthy children if they take this bovine based drug regularly.

02:03:33.960 Now, I don't know about you, but I think the word that sticks out to me, not feces or

02:03:39.100 urine, it's the word may women may be able to produce. 1.00

02:03:45.200 Well, maybe, sure.

02:03:48.300 Yeah.

02:03:49.180 Uh, more certainty.

02:03:51.180 You know, it's not like I, you know, it's, it's not like they're just looking on how can

02:03:55.160 we use all the urine and the cow patties around here to make a buck and get it off our streets. 0.99

02:04:00.860 I know, put it in a capsule.
