I mean, it's just burning itself down to the ground.
00:00:28.740
But I also want to tell you why this is important and how it is connected to the other things that are going on.
00:00:35.880
There is a new world order in the media that is being set up right now.
00:00:43.500
But first, I mean, we really have to get to this very sad story about what's happening to the ratings over at CNN.
00:00:58.740
So, what's the first thing you do when you get into your car?
00:01:05.300
Most cars allow you to move the seat front or back.
00:01:07.960
But if it's a luxury car, you can also adjust the back and the lumbar support.
00:01:15.640
So, you're sitting exactly the way you want to sit.
00:01:18.540
Most of us spend more time in our office chairs than we do in our cars.
00:01:23.420
How many adjustments can you make to your office chair?
00:01:32.320
If it's any fewer than 10 customized ergonomic adjustments, then you do not have an X chair.
00:01:38.640
You can adjust your X chair to fit your body perfectly, thanks to X chair's patented, dynamic, variable lumbar support.
00:01:47.660
Your back, my back, I sit in this chair every day, gets the perfect level of support.
00:01:52.740
DVL is key to the ideal posture, comfort, and productivity, and only the X chair has it.
00:02:02.160
Just go to xchairbeck.com, that's xchairbeck.com, or call 844-4-X-CHAIR, 844-4-X-CHAIR.

Go there now, use the promo code XWHEELS, you're going to get the brand new, really, really high-tech,
00:02:22.640

And you know the Germans are good with ball bearings.
00:02:32.540
Anyway, XWHEELS is your promo code, go to xchairbeck.com, that's xchairbeck.com.
00:02:59.560
CNN continues to lose primetime audience and daytime audience.
00:03:11.720
The president was on an overseas trip, and CNN completely stands alone in the massive audience implosion.
00:03:23.900
I want to compare to CNN, to MSNBC, and to Fox News.
00:03:29.300
Prime time viewership compared to the same week last year, Fox News is down 4%, NBC is down 4%, CNN is down 33%.
00:03:43.800
Total day viewership compared to the same week last year, Fox is down 7%, MSNBC is down 5%, and CNN is down 21%.
00:04:03.840
There's a 12-plus rating, and what I just gave you was 12-plus, which means, or it's actually 2-plus, which means everybody 2 years old to death.
00:04:13.600
That's the 2-plus number, and the money is made $25.54.
00:04:19.760
So, if you're between the ages of 25 and 54, that's where everybody places their ad dollars, okay?
00:04:30.000
That's called the demo, and it's really, really important.
00:04:32.580
So, here's what happened, and we went back and checked, because we want to make sure that this isn't a typo, right?
00:04:46.000
Primetime demo viewership compared to the same week last year, Fox News is down 25%.
00:05:08.120
Now, what you're seeing, Fox News down 25%, MSNBC down 32%, this is just because the younger people are just not tuning into television.
00:05:17.020
So, you have the implosion of the network system happening.
00:05:22.700
At the same time, you have CNN just killing itself.
00:05:28.140
I mean, we're watching a suicide every time you turn on CNN, which, well, I mean, if they commit suicide and nobody's watching, does it really happen?
00:05:38.040
CNN is a total outlier now in this audience collapse.
00:05:43.280
The erosion that you're seeing at Fox and MSNBC is just really the end of this network.
00:05:55.960
The cable news average audience, adult 2554, Fox News, came in at 341,000 total day, which means everybody watching during the day, is 213,000.
00:06:13.380
MSNBC primetime is 215,000, so that's almost, well, it's 130,000 lower than Fox.
00:06:28.560
So, you think that the media has this big, you know, oh my gosh, NBC, if they got on NBC, well then, you know, gee, we better pay attention to it.
00:06:37.940
So, you know, I had better ratings than this on CNN headline news, 113,000.
00:06:48.160
I think when we started, we had, what, 78,000, do you remember, Stu?
00:06:57.420
I think it was even lower than that when we started.
00:07:00.540
It was just like, there was like nobody watching, and everybody knew it.
00:07:07.000
We knew it, that nobody was watching, and these ratings would come out.
00:07:10.380
113,000 people, that's not even worth mentioning.
00:07:16.320
That's like basing our entire life and our entire broadcast day on what happened on the cartoon network at 3 a.m.
00:07:26.620
Yeah, I mean, really, if you think about it, it's like CNN headline news was so desperate with numbers like that, they put you on.
00:07:33.660
They were actually like, you know what, let's just try, I don't know, Glenn Beck, I don't know.
00:07:39.400
Yeah, so 113,000, but that's not, that's MSNBC.
00:07:54.620
Now, every time you pay your cable bill, you're subsidizing CNN.
00:08:01.200
Every time you pay your cable bill, you're giving them a buttload of money.
00:08:06.580
Because they negotiated a really sweet deal when they had ratings and people needed them.
00:08:14.200
And so they get a percentage of everything that you spend on cable.
00:08:25.600
Now, that's also going to hurt Fox, but Fox has, Fox at least has a chance of standing on its own.
00:08:37.720
You cut, you start cutting cable and you start getting rid of cable in your house, which is happening.
00:08:43.400
They're not going to be able to afford to stay on the air.
00:08:56.860
The problem with it, though, of course, is if you were to leave cable and you didn't have Fox anymore, there'd be no place to be able to get good conservative commentary.
00:09:08.800
You just go to blazetv.com, blazetv.com slash Glenn.
00:09:14.680
You enter in free speech, and I think today you can still get 30% off.
00:09:28.020
So every time I don't talk about it, free speech is available, even though I've been told it wasn't available.
00:09:35.600
Then when I do talk about it, I don't know if it's available.
00:09:38.800
Yeah, yesterday it was still, like, I was told it was not going to be available, but then it was still on the website, so I said it anyway.
00:09:44.440
Today, I don't see it on the front, so I don't know.
00:09:49.000
So use the promo code, yeah, give it a whirl, give it a whirl.
00:09:52.040
I mean, maybe we were incompetent in, you know, shutting that thing down.
00:10:13.020
The only time that industries ask for more regulation is when they are in a death spiral.
00:10:22.080
The cable news industry is now in a death spiral.
00:10:26.020
So they're going to reach out to the government, and most likely, especially if the Democrats win, they'll get special treatment.
00:10:34.000
They'll get some sort of special breaks or whatever.
00:10:36.480
And you'll notice also that the CNNs of the world are asking for regulation of the Internet.
00:10:46.580
Now it's the cable providers that want protection from the Internet, because the Internet is getting too strong.
00:10:57.360
And the Internet is putting all of these programs out of business and all of these networks out of business, because it's the new way.
00:11:08.980
All you're going to do is start adding Soviet-style restrictions, and you'll end up with a Soviet Union.
00:11:15.260
You'll end up with a broken system to where you go someplace else, some other country, and you're like, man, we are so far behind.
00:11:26.860
Right now, at the same time, Silicon Valley is doing what?
00:11:31.980
They're purging the voices of conservatives, because they are setting up their empire.
00:11:39.460
They're setting up exactly what they're going to do when they rule the world, and they already rule the world.
00:11:47.160
Cable news and the American people are just starting to catch up.
00:11:54.820
So every time you hear somebody talk about what was on CNN last night, you can either enjoy it for the popcorn that it is, or you can say, not important.
00:12:05.940
I mean, it could be fun to talk about it, but it's really not important, because literally no one is watching anymore.
00:12:16.320
Now, I want to take a break, and I want to come back and go back to what the Internet is doing and the world that they're setting up right now.
00:12:47.880
Not that I want to purge anybody's voice, but a little bit of consistency would be nice.
00:13:10.440
I want you to call 800-500-8384 if you are in pain.
00:13:22.020
What you need to do is you'll look for their quick start.
00:13:25.480
Now, this will give you a 30-day trial of Relief Factor.
00:13:29.520
You want a 30-day trial because you might be part of the 30% that it doesn't work.
00:13:35.160
70% of the people that go online and order their quick start, they go on to order more month after month after month because it works for them.
00:13:46.340
So, you have a good shot that you can get out of pain or greatly reduce your pain just by trying Relief Factor.
00:14:19.280
Well, so, this is an amazing, I mean, development.
00:14:26.000
David J. Harris Jr., who's been on the program before, prominent black conservative, big, you know, big social media personality.
00:14:50.580
They've looked at the damage to the community over at Facebook, and they've seen that David apparently has violated this.
00:15:03.300
So, he didn't violate any of the standards or the guidelines.
00:15:09.780
And so, they've decided to say that he, because he has, he posted some fake news stories, that they've just changed a couple of things about his page.
00:15:21.020
I don't know if it's color scheme, you know, maybe font size.
00:15:27.960
Little things like that, and a couple of other minor things that might be noticeable.
00:15:33.020
For example, they've, you know, demonetized him so he can't make, you know, any money off of the page, which, you know, is his main source of income, you know.
00:15:42.000
Other than that, the only other thing they've done is drop his traffic by 97%.
00:15:50.640
I mean, if you can't get by with 3% of the traffic that you've built over a long period of creating content for Facebook for free that they've profited off of, I mean, if he can't handle that, what can you handle?
00:16:03.760
Well, can we find an attorney that can tell me how Facebook isn't being sued for this?
00:16:09.800
They are destroying business after business after business.
00:16:19.800
And I don't think, you know, it's necessarily just, like, David isn't even the perfect candidate for this because David is a guy who built his following completely organically.
00:16:30.420
Like, he never put any money into ads or anything like that.
00:16:33.160
There are companies that paid Facebook millions of dollars to place ads to get an audience, and now Facebook is saying they can't reach the audience.
00:16:42.060
How they're not getting sued over things like this, I cannot understand.
00:16:47.200
We know from our own experience that we've been demonetized.
00:16:58.680
So I build up, what, two and a half million subscribers or followers of Facebook because Facebook invites me to.
00:17:09.280
You know, they bring me into their headquarters.
00:17:14.860
So we invest our time and our money and our talent to be able to grow that audience, and then they shut us off from that audience.
00:17:22.820
So they have the two million people that some of them may not have been using Facebook when they first joined.
00:17:30.580
We got them to join Facebook, and now they cut us off of the people who say, I'm here because I want to know this opinion.
00:17:40.240
David posted a video of this, and you can see the traffic numbers.
00:17:45.440
Let's play a little bit of this, and we'll talk you through it as there's some of its visual.
00:17:48.880
But if you happen to be watching, the graph is absolutely amazing.
00:17:56.840
You see, this is 2.5 million, and this is in one day.
00:18:09.120
So you can see it goes up from 1 million to 2 million.
00:18:28.960
It's enough to make, it makes me sick to my stomach.
00:18:41.000
From 2.7 million to about, I think the low was 85,000.
00:18:48.120
And again, so the question would be, okay, well, what is he doing?
00:18:53.400
Would be strange for a black conservative to post KKK material.
00:18:58.200
No, he got dinged because he was posting fake news.
00:19:03.020
The fake news he posted was a video from CNN where they were interviewing the founder of the weather channel who's skeptical of global warming.
00:19:13.760
So because he posted a CNN interview about global warming in a skeptical way, which wasn't, he wasn't even saying, it wasn't even video of him.
00:19:24.240
It was a video of another person, an interview on CNN.
00:19:27.420
And he got dinged for fake news and now has lost 97% of his audience basically overnight.
00:19:33.920
So he hasn't, you know, he hasn't really done, they haven't done anything wrong.
00:19:39.400
They have moved him to a new village where conservatives have their voices heard and everything is sunshine and lollipops and it's just in a place that you can't go or find.
00:19:55.460
But they're all just being put onto a train and they're brought to this wonderful little village where they can speak and their people can hear them.
00:20:06.580
It's amazing because, I mean, a lot of times this goes to sort of constitutional grounds and free speech grounds and there are arguments we've had about that.
00:20:14.400
We have something coming up in the next few weeks on this going on TV and there are issues there that surround that because of the government protections they get.
00:20:20.820
That being said, though, I think really the more interesting way to go after this is business.
00:20:25.620
I mean, there is no way they should be able to be running a business this way and we should continue to go back to them and hand over all of our free stuff.
00:20:33.360
Like we're creating it, we're handing it over to them and then on a whim with no explanation and no rational reason to do something, they'll just cut an audience by 97%.
00:20:47.100
It's companies that have gone literally out of business because of these changes after they've spent millions of dollars with Facebook to get the audience and expecting to reach it, obviously.
00:20:58.080
And then Facebook just pulls the rug right out from under them.
00:21:06.840
We get into that a little later on in the program.
00:21:10.280
Also, we have a great guest that has just gone through all of the laws in the country and found that, oh, you're, they can put you in prison in a heartbeat for all the laws that you probably are breaking.
00:21:29.640
First, let me tell you, our sponsor this half hour is blinds.com.

Coming up on the program, the laws that you're breaking every day that could get you in jail.
00:23:01.720
Justice Roberts is about to show his cards, I think.
00:23:05.720
We also have to talk just a little bit about the budget and how out of control our deficit is.
00:23:14.540
But let's go to Pat, who has, quite honestly, what I think is Islamophobia.
00:23:23.880
Well, you know, should I be concerned that 550 people from Ebola-riddled nations are being released into Texas?
00:23:46.760
Coming from the Congo, somehow or another, 500 people had saved up enough.
00:23:53.900
I don't know what to be able to come to be able to go over to Mexico.
00:23:59.920
They they're so well in tune with global politics that they knew that if they just got to Mexico City, these guys who could not speak a word of either language could find their way across the border and into San Antonio.
00:24:19.320
It's also, I think it's so reasonable that we're not screening them or quarantining them, because why would you?
00:24:28.100
What, 55, 60 percent of the people who get it die.
00:24:31.740
This is this is where his Islamophobia just is screaming to come out.
00:24:37.560
But Pat knows, Pat knows, as every American knows, that ISIS was just down in the Congo for some unknown reason, probably digging wells so they could provide fresh water.
00:24:52.500
You know, they're a religious group, largely secular religion, largely secular religious group that is just like our missionaries going out, you know, digging water and building houses.
00:25:08.800
And then, lo and behold, these 500 people from the Congo from the same area with with with ISIS and Ebola show up on our streets.
00:25:21.360
I mean, you know as well as I do that ISIS has a theory that if you give a man a fish, you fed him for a day.
00:25:28.500
If you teach a man to fish, you fed him for a lifetime.
00:25:31.860
And that's what I think they're doing in the Congo.
00:25:35.480
Well, they also know they also know that if you bring Ebola ridden fish into a nation, you can collapse it.
00:25:46.320
Somebody said should roll over the fact that we're not screening them.
00:25:51.140
We're just releasing them onto the streets of San Antonio, Texas, and then giving them bus fare to go wherever they want.
00:25:58.680
What kind of insanity does it take to just say, yeah, OK, you might might have Ebola, but you might not.
00:26:07.840
If if if we have an Ebola outbreak in the United States, that's a sheer negligence on the part of our government.
00:26:22.600
And by the way, it's it's only the worst outbreak of Ebola of all time.
00:26:28.760
And the other thing is only fifty five percent of the people who've contracted the Ebola have died from it.
00:26:35.600
And they have eighty seven thousand cases in the Democrat Republic of Congo.
00:26:42.080
Not not to be confused with the Republic of Congo.
00:26:44.520
This is the Democratic Republic of Congo, the DRC.
00:26:47.660
They also have eighty seven thousand cases of measles, which has claimed the lives of fifteen hundred more people.
00:26:54.160
So I wouldn't worry about any of that, though, because if you do, it's obviously, as Glenn has pointed out, Islamophobia.
00:27:02.940
Don't forget your don't forget your underlying racism.
00:27:19.300
We have really good administration, especially on this issue in the United States of America.
00:27:24.300
How is it that these people aren't being screened?
00:27:27.220
How is it we're not using our heads on this at all?
00:27:31.800
You're just you're taking the lives of people in this country for granted here.
00:27:42.080
If they got into a plane and they were, you know, not showing symptoms yet, but they were infected.
00:27:50.640
And it's I mean, I think it takes from two days to 21 days to incubate.
00:28:06.080
Well, you wouldn't because it'd be hateful to do that.
00:28:08.480
And the Democrats would be yelling and screaming about it.
00:28:13.960
So, you know, you might get a little bit of and we told you how to avoid.
00:28:21.100
Anyway, you know, don't don't touch people's poop.
00:28:39.340
And it's it's really easy to be able to to avoid.
00:29:03.620
But so hopefully we won't be seeing a lot of people bleeding from their eyes.
00:29:15.040
Well, the annual global index came out of the most peaceful nations on Earth.
00:29:39.960
At number one is the very peaceful island of Iceland.
00:29:46.360
Pretty easy for them to be peaceful because the way they rate this is your military spending.
00:29:52.220
Of course, we spend more than anybody else in the world on military.
00:29:56.980
So military spending, just spending on military means that you're not peaceful.
00:30:02.980
Because I don't think the Congo spends all that much on their military, but they seem
00:30:21.300
So if you're a country that has a second amendment.
00:30:27.080
This is like a group of people get together going, how can we make sure that the United
00:30:39.840
Because it's specifically designed to vilify our country, right?
00:30:43.220
They do this all the time with these health care studies, too.
00:30:45.280
They're like, well, let's see who has the best health care.
00:30:48.120
The number one way to determine it is how much the government spends on health care.
00:30:51.660
And you're like, well, we have a different system.
00:30:53.800
So obviously, it's a terrible way to try to measure it.
00:30:56.400
You're just trying to vilify anybody who doesn't have the government have single payer health care.
00:31:06.620
Number two on the list, New Zealand, followed by Portugal, Austria, Denmark, all the usual suspects.
00:31:12.540
Canada, Singapore, Slovenia, Japan, and the Czech Republic.
00:31:16.320
I mean, if you created Hitler, do you get to be high on a list of peaceful nations?
00:31:23.520
I mean, I understand it's in the past, but don't you get an exemption from being near the top of the peaceful list?
00:31:46.320
So it's like, there's no, they don't need an army because nobody's like, you know what we need to do?
00:31:57.800
That's, there's, there's no need for any violence there.
00:32:06.300
Same with New Zealand, you know, out there all by themselves.
00:32:11.400
And like, you know, there's like 400 people there and a lot of sheep, not a lot to do.
00:32:16.860
You know, I'm surprised that there isn't more killing just because it's like, I don't know.
00:32:27.580
I've already seen where they did the Lord of the Rings.
00:32:34.020
And I would assume they moved up on the list since they banned how many firearms after the last shooting.
00:32:38.700
So, I mean, now they're going to be even more peaceful after the shooting, showing that they're more peaceful.
00:32:53.340
That's amazing that they still made second place on this list.
00:32:58.560
And then the birthplace of Hitler, Austria, followed by Denmark, Canada, which again, you know, what are you going to invade Canada for?
00:33:08.040
Wasn't Denmark the place of that mass shooting of, wasn't that Denmark?
00:33:16.340
That wasn't, of course, done by the government, which all the biggest mass shootings in history have all been done by the government.
00:33:21.460
But other than that, if we take all of those out of the picture, then yes, it was the largest in history.
00:33:26.240
By the way, the Christchurch shootings in New Zealand three months ago.
00:33:46.140
I mean, it was a really, really, really bad one.
00:33:49.140
Okay, so following Canada, Singapore, Slovenia, Japan, and Czech Republic.
00:33:56.520
So, again, it's a lot of the countries that we protect.
00:34:02.160
All of the military expenditures done by the United States.
00:34:17.500
So, Afghanistan, least peaceful nation on earth, with Syria the runner-up.
00:34:21.880
Then you got South Sudan, Yemen, Iraq, Somalia, the Central African Republic, Libya, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Russia.
00:34:36.840
You put your people in camps, you murder everybody, everybody in your family and everybody that gets anywhere near you.
00:34:47.160
You're firing missiles over Japan's heads every other day.
00:35:00.600
I'll have to go to the extended list and let you know because I don't have that in front of me.
00:35:05.660
But they're somewhere between, I think they're between us and Afghanistan somewhere.
00:35:13.160
But for them not to be in the bottom ten, that's pretty amazing.
00:35:16.900
Well, they don't have much access to firearms for the average citizen.
00:35:19.920
They would do well if they would perform well there.
00:35:26.820
Afghanistan, Syria, South Jordan, Yemen, Iraq, Somalia, Central African Republic, Libya, Democratic Republic of Congo and Russia.
00:35:36.880
Now, I don't know what you're alluding to here.
00:35:39.720
What are you trying to say about the commonality among them?
00:35:51.320
Now, I was mentioning this list on my show, Pat Grand Leashed, earlier today.
00:36:05.460
I told him maybe he should keep his hateful thoughts to himself.
00:36:09.560
And so, he didn't say, what are you going to say, Mr. Beck?
00:36:21.860
Because I thought you asked me what the commonality is.
00:36:30.520
I mean, it's difficult to get direct flights to any of them.
00:36:35.620
Yeah, it might be that they're all Islamist states.
00:36:49.960
Like, why are all these countries in active war?
00:37:02.880
Yeah, that pisses them off and it causes hatred in their country and they go to war with people.
00:37:12.820
And, no, wait, is that a good one now or is that a bad one now?
00:37:16.620
I think that's a bad one now because it was from George Bush.
00:37:23.040
Okay, North Korea was 149, just to get that out for you.
00:37:41.980
Democratically elected is what I was going to say.
00:37:49.280
What should you get for your dad for Father's Day?
00:38:01.220
And that's what 23andme's Health and Ancestry Kit is all about.
00:38:06.960
For a limited time, you can get $50 off the 23andme Health and Ancestry Kit through June 17.
00:38:13.560
It's a gift that's unique, just as unique as dad is.
00:38:16.660
You can discover how the genes influence his well-being and his lifestyle choices with insights into genetic weight, muscle consumption, sleep quality, and more.
00:38:26.120
It also shows some of the traits that he has and how they are caused by certain genes.
00:38:32.480
That's really fun for the family to kind of go through together.
00:38:35.700
Also, the wellness report will help him make informed decisions about his health and also give you more time if dad is predisposed to some sort of really nasty disease.
00:38:47.940
And the gift of discovery, dad will find out, and so will you, where your family's from.
00:38:54.000
So as special is going on right now, 23andme.com.
00:39:16.600
What should we take from that HBO documentary, if anything, if you happen to be watching it?
00:39:23.640
It looks like the peacemaker, John Roberts, may be at it again.
00:39:30.200
What can we preserve as people try to take America and dismantle it and make us forget?
00:39:52.780
I got to tell you, you can either laugh or cry, and there's lots of things to cry about, but I'd much rather laugh.
00:39:58.440
There is a new book out called How to Become a Federal Criminal.
00:40:07.300
In the dedication, the dedication of the book to the U.S. Congress.
00:40:17.140
Wait until you see what's actually on the books.
00:40:20.280
Any of us could be ripe for prison right away if anybody wants to put us in prison.
00:40:24.620
We are breaking the laws almost by getting up in the morning and breathing.
00:40:44.180
I'm thrilled to have Patriot Mobile as part of the sponsorship.
00:40:49.300
You know, people talk about protests, and we have to boycott.
00:40:52.640
It's really easy for the left to do that because they have options.
00:41:02.720
Okay, well, that gives you about 800 other channels.
00:41:05.980
If we say we're not going to watch, you know, I'm not going to watch Disney.
00:41:10.640
Yes, you are, because you don't have any other choice usually for good quality family entertainment.
00:41:15.500
So you're going to end up on, no way, I'm going to go to a Marvel movie.
00:41:21.040
You have to replace it first, and it has to be good, if not better.
00:41:26.380
It has to have something that is better than what you're currently doing because it's not enough for people to change just because, well, I don't want to fund abortion.
00:41:35.620
And I know that sounds pretty crazy, but it's true.
00:41:42.160
They have the same great service because they're on the same cell towers.
00:41:46.740
What they're not doing is giving their money to abortions.
00:41:54.860
And believe it or not, that's what all these cell companies are doing.
00:41:58.100
Every time you make a phone call, a portion of that is going to La Raza or to Planned Parenthood.
00:42:05.820
Now, you're going to save about, well, I don't want to say because everybody is different, but you can save about $1,000 if, you know, if you use your, you know, have your cell phone bill really high, you'd save $1,000.
00:42:22.200
Same service, easy to switch, save a lot of money, and stop putting money into the hands of people who are fighting against you every step of the way.
00:42:33.720
Get a free month of service right now just by switching to PatriotMobile.com.
00:42:42.720
So Mike Chase is a white-collar criminal defense lawyer.
00:43:00.000
And by night, he's the legal humorist behind A Crime a Day, the Twitter feed, where he offers a daily dose of extensive research into the curious, intriguing, and crazy, expensive criminal laws here in the United States.
00:43:17.680
Welcome to the program, Mike Chase, author of How to Become a Federal Criminal.
00:43:24.180
Now, Mike, you know, when I first heard, when Stu came to me and said, we have to do, we have to have Mike on.
00:43:32.600
He's, you know, How to Become a Federal Criminal.
00:43:34.940
And I'm like, no, that's what, that's what Antifa, that's what, that's what all of these far-left organizations are doing.
00:43:44.080
And then he explained the book, and I looked at the book, and it is, it's fantastic.
00:43:55.260
Some of us are, you know, small little donkey criminals.
00:43:58.760
You know, some of us have whistled on a CB radio.
00:44:01.180
But whatever we've done, the likelihood is that the government could charge us with a federal crime.
00:44:10.080
I have to read this verbatim because I love this.
00:44:11.800
You should never, you should never, and I mean never, underestimate the government's power to put you in prison for something as simple as bringing a theatrical chicken or any performing poultry back from Mexico without an up-to-date health certificate.
00:44:32.320
And this is, we're not just talking about dramatic poultry, right?
00:44:35.020
I mean, poultry that have a great sense of drama.
00:44:38.020
We're talking about professional performing poultry.
00:44:41.140
But if you come back, you know, you have your...
00:44:47.100
You have to define what a theatrical chicken or performing poultry really is.
00:44:57.100
Because we all know that Article I, Section I of the Constitution says that Congress and Congress alone is supposed to make the law.
00:45:03.800
But somewhere along the line, they decided we're better at, you know, bickering and things like that.
00:45:08.300
So they gave that power away to agencies who then, agencies, made rules like the one banning performing poultry from coming back.
00:45:17.180
It would be nice to have a definition of performing poultry.
00:45:20.060
But that's sort of where everybody went home for the day.
00:45:22.600
And they just said, look, if it's performing poultry.
00:45:24.940
So really, it's the government that decides if your chicken is a performing chicken or if he's just an amateur.
00:45:35.740
Your book is scary because I happen to be a man who likes to, you know, when you're going by a bunch of horses, I'm the type of guy who likes to flip off the horses.
00:45:47.940
But it's not just flipping off the horses, I believe, Stu.
00:45:52.620
It's making an obscene gesture or any objectionable gesture towards a horse, is it not?
00:46:00.160
And I will say, as you point out correctly in the book, it is okay to do this to a stationary horse.
00:46:07.060
However, a passing horse, it goes off the rails.
00:46:10.960
What I really find fascinating about this one, because this is a real law that is in effect, and you detail it in the book, is that they actually did revisit it.
00:46:20.360
I feel like a lot of these laws, like, okay, they passed them in, like, 1820, and they're ridiculous, and they just never repealed them.
00:46:25.720
They actually revisited it in the 1980s to try to figure out what type of gesture was allowed.
00:46:32.880
It happens all the time, and because this happens through the regulatory process, we don't always get a lot of this stuff happening in the public debate.
00:46:41.520
There was a time when the National Park Service said, all right, look, no unreasonable gestures to horses, okay?
00:46:50.100
The passing horse is right to the insidious practice of unreasonable gestures to passing horses.
00:46:55.100
But then some guy somewhere came to him and said, hey, look, guys, I need a little more definition on that, because I've got to know what kind of gestures I can make to a horse.
00:47:08.100
And he was like, all right, I can work with that.
00:47:10.540
And so anyway, that's where we are with the federal law.
00:47:23.920
So in 1985, a horse doesn't care if you flip it off.
00:47:36.400
How did somebody come to the point where like, no, I need a little bit more definition in 1980s?
00:47:41.600
Look, Glenn, you say a horse doesn't care if you flip them off.
00:47:49.840
But the truth is that probably what they were going for is don't make a gesture that's going
00:47:56.280
to spook a horse and cause some sort of harm or damage.
00:48:00.040
But our government, which is required to make laws that govern all of us, isn't so good
00:48:05.420
And so they use these broad, generalized terms.
00:48:10.860
They don't say a gesture that can spook a horse.
00:48:14.300
So I think if you I think if you flip them off, I think if you do the chin flick, I think
00:48:19.440
if you moon a horse, you're potentially going to find yourself on the other side of an indictment.
00:48:24.440
And so I go through that in illustrated fashion in how to become a federal criminal so that
00:48:30.760
So there are other things, you know, you can't draw the Pentagon.
00:48:38.940
You can now I understand this maybe in the 1940s, you know, before satellites and everything
00:48:50.820
And that's the way the regulation says it is that you can't make a sketch, photograph,
00:48:56.820
drawing or any other depiction of the Pentagon.
00:48:59.180
To me, if you're at home and you're just drawing geometric shapes and you happen to, you know,
00:49:04.580
do a five sided one, you're potentially running afoul of this law.
00:49:08.120
Now, probably it's for somebody who's on property at the Pentagon.
00:49:12.780
But if the government comes to your house and they're really looking for something to
00:49:16.560
ding you on and they see some Pentagons drawn around, you might be looking at some charges
00:49:35.680
And that speaks to a much bigger problem, which is the fact that, look, back in the
00:49:40.180
80s, the DOJ tried to count every federal crime on the books.
00:49:44.580
And when they came back, they said, yeah, we give up.
00:49:49.140
So we, the government, don't know how many there are.
00:49:52.100
Estimates say that there may be as many as 300,000 or more federal crimes on the books.
00:49:57.860
Are there photos of the Pentagon and drawings of the Pentagon out there?
00:50:06.140
But these laws lurk in the background and govern all of us.
00:50:09.600
And you potentially could get charged with one, even if it's been 50, 100 years since the
00:50:17.620
So it's not really, Mike, it's not the problem.
00:50:20.400
I mean, because we can laugh at these and we can understand, you know, maybe the horse,
00:50:24.640
you know, thing in the Pentagon thing, you know, a reasonable person will say, well, they're
00:50:30.220
trying to make sure that nobody in the Pentagon is saying, I'm not taking pictures, but they're
00:50:37.640
Would you agree that that's probably what they were trying to avoid?
00:50:42.460
A lot of these rules have some sort of, you know, meritorious backdrop.
00:50:47.180
Of course, I'm not so sure that the ban on selling Swiss cheese without enough holes makes
00:50:53.060
a whole heck of a lot of sense or selling a fruit cocktail with less than 2% cherries
00:51:02.600
I mean, a lot of these rules come from a good place, but because Congress has outsourced
00:51:08.580
all of its lawmaking authority, essentially, to agency bureaucrats, they've made these thousands
00:51:14.600
or hundreds of thousands of rules with not enough definition for us to all abide by them
00:51:23.880
So that is the problem, is that as our government has grown, grown more powerful, grown in size
00:51:29.820
and grown in hostility towards one group or another, whether it, you know, is, you know,
00:51:36.280
the repeat of the 1950s and, you know, Martin Luther King not being able to buy a gun because
00:51:44.860
his local sheriff said, no, it's for your own safety.
00:51:47.960
When we know that wasn't true, they can, a powerful government that wants to put you away
00:51:54.040
for some reason can find something to put you away for.
00:52:00.020
And remember, the place our minds always tend to go on this is, well, how many people are
00:52:05.000
Or come on, some of these laws are plainly unconstitutional.
00:52:07.700
But the thing for everybody to remember, and I go through this in How to Become a Federal
00:52:11.040
Criminal, which is long before you get acquitted at trial, long before the Supreme Court holds
00:52:16.240
that you were unconstitutionally prosecuted for, you know, flipping off a horse on public land,
00:52:21.300
or sorry, a passing horse on public land, long before any of that happens, you know,
00:52:25.780
these countless laws give the government the authority to detain you, to arrest you, to go
00:52:31.540
into your home, seize your property, and put you into the criminal justice system and obligate
00:52:36.080
you to defend yourself before you may wind your way all the way up to the Supreme Court
00:52:42.220
I mean, we heard about the case of this guy, John Yates, a few years back.
00:52:45.120
He got prosecuted for throwing a few undersized red grouper overboard, and he had to go all
00:52:50.820
the way to the Supreme Court to be told that what he did wasn't a federal crime. And by the
00:52:54.860
end of that process, you may have been imprisoned, you may have lost all of your money and gone
00:53:01.040
It also seems to open you up to the, you know, they can use one of these laws to go in,
00:53:05.960
search your home and find out something else that they want to know that they have no right
00:53:10.080
of knowing. I mean, it seems like it would open it up to the, you know, they're going to be able
00:53:14.080
to go and get your access to your data, they're going to be able to go in and search your home,
00:53:18.680
and all of these things that normally they wouldn't be able to do because you're flipping
00:53:23.300
Right. Well, let me, let me give you a real life. Let me pause for a second and give you
00:53:27.480
a real life example of this. And I'd love to hear your opinion on this, Mike, because as
00:53:32.140
a businessman, it's why what you've written really concerns me. It's really funny, but it
00:53:38.160
also really concerns me. And we'll do that in one minute.
00:53:40.840
Woman in Michigan. She's at work. She gets a call from SimpliSafe Home Security. Her alarm
00:53:52.780
system is going off. SimpliSafe says, there's a man in your house. She says, yeah, it's probably
00:53:58.880
just my landlord. SimpliSafe is watching the video feed because once the alarm is triggered
00:54:04.340
and they are on 24 seven monetary, they can then access that to be able to give you a better
00:54:11.700
service from nine one one. They look in and see what is happening in the house and they
00:54:17.200
see that it's not a false alarm that there's somebody in the house that looks like they
00:54:20.980
broke in. They said, I don't think this is your landlord. He's currently fending off
00:54:25.620
your dog with one of your lamps. She said, yeah, that's a break in. They called nine one
00:54:30.840
one three times faster because now SimpliSafe has the video evidence when they alert nine
00:54:38.600
one one. You go to the top of the line. If it's just a regular burglar alarm going off,
00:54:44.440
it's like a car alarm. Police are like, it's probably, you know, a miss set or a tripped
00:54:48.420
alarm that isn't real. We'll take our time. But because SimpliSafe now has the ability
00:54:53.580
to when an alarm is tripped, trip that camera and see, did somebody break into the house?
00:55:00.000
You get the police responding to your house three times faster. SimpliSafeBeck.com
00:55:06.760
by far the best that you can get. And you get a free HD security camera when you order.
00:55:12.480
That's a $100 value. Go to SimpliSafeBeck.com for your free security camera. That's SimpliSafeBeck.com.
00:55:30.000
So let me let me go here. We are we're talking about these crazy laws that are currently on
00:55:44.560
the books that you can get nailed for with Mike Chase. And Mike, let's look at things like,
00:55:50.960
for instance, the Tea Party or the Master Cake shop. We know that the we know that the city with
00:56:00.720
the Master Cake shop, they have they were they were part of this. They wanted this guy to have
00:56:09.960
to be forced to make wedding cakes. He felt it was unconstitutional. The he brings it to the Supreme
00:56:16.560
Court. The Supreme Court basically says, well, we're going to do it. Here's how you do it.
00:56:20.880
He's just been sued again. And I thought to myself, this is the third time. How is this guy
00:56:25.640
affording it? But if the if the police or the state wanted to make sure that they taught this guy a
00:56:34.120
lesson, they could go in on some bakery related thing that is really old that nobody knows and
00:56:40.240
says you're in violation of this and bleed the guy dry. He doesn't have a chance of survival.
00:56:47.160
Right. You're you're exactly right about that. And I have a whole chapter in how to become a federal
00:56:52.160
criminal about food. So how to become a federal criminal with food. And the truth is that the FDA
00:56:57.260
and the USDA regulate all kinds of food, food crimes, and they can be so minor. I mean, in fact,
00:57:03.440
a very similar situation is not that many years ago, there was a bakery up in New England that
00:57:10.300
listed in sort of cute fashion. They listed love as an ingredient in their granola. Well, the FDA sent
00:57:16.800
them a letter and said, hey, your products are misbranded because love is not anything we know
00:57:22.080
anything about. It is not an ingredient we've ever heard of. And so your food is misbranded. And the truth
00:57:27.580
is that becomes a federal crime. So, yeah, for the master cake shop or for anybody else in that industry,
00:57:32.820
if they're a political opponent of somebody, you could go in and you conduct an investigation,
00:57:39.460
you're going to find some violation of something because because the federal government has so far
00:57:44.640
exceeded its its limited powers set forth in the Constitution that there are hundreds of thousands
00:57:50.480
of crimes and potentially thousands of regulations that a person could have violated and they'd be
00:57:55.860
able to find something the harder they look for sure. And Tea Party members, Tea Party members know
00:58:00.940
this because the IRS investigated so many leaders of the Tea Party and they came up with nothing,
00:58:08.620
but they had to go through all this all this, you know, federal regulation to be able to clear their
00:58:16.480
name. It cost them a buttload of time and money. They know because just trying to get a 501 C3 or C4,
00:58:24.540
whatever it is for many tea parties, they couldn't get it done because of the red tape. And it was
00:58:30.660
because they were going against somebody in the government. So we've never faced this as Americans
00:58:36.700
before. We've never seen this. The black Americans saw this in the Jim Crow era, but we haven't faced
00:58:44.660
this as white America. And it's coming to all Americans if we're not, if we don't wake up.
00:58:51.640
No, no, for sure. And last year I wrote an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal called lock her up,
00:58:56.980
lock him up. They could lock you up about that exact point, which is this, this, this picking the
00:59:01.820
unpopular person, the politically unpopular, whoever, and using this coercive weight of literally
00:59:08.600
countless federal crimes, federal laws and regulations to carry out essentially vindictive
00:59:15.580
purposes. That is the problem that it creates. It's not that we're arguing that regulation is
00:59:20.920
inherently good or inherently bad. If you go through the book, you will see that every aspect of modern
00:59:27.320
American life is regulated in such a way that it gives the government immense power for politically
00:59:33.520
unpopular people to be prosecuted. I'll give you one example that I go through in the book, which is
00:59:38.860
if you leave the country with more than $25 worth of nickels in your pocket, that's a federal crime.
00:59:45.360
Okay. And I'll show you, I show you how to do that. I mean, you're going to need some pants with some
00:59:49.040
good pockets and a nice dirty belt. But the truth is that if you leave the country with more than $25
00:59:54.540
worth of nickels, you've committed a federal crime and faced up to five years in prison. It's just one
00:59:59.900
example of the government requiring all kinds of reporting and all kinds of information from you,
01:00:06.000
not that you've harmed anybody or actually created any kind of injury to anybody, but because the
01:00:10.900
government so wants information that if you don't give that information to them, you could find
01:00:15.420
yourself on the other end of an indictment and a potentially boundless investigation.
01:00:20.240
And this is made much, much worse because we have, we've disengaged and separated ourselves from
01:00:26.060
the constitution and the idea of, of blind justice, right? Absolutely. Yeah. No question
01:00:33.300
about it. It is not an even handed system. Well, Mike, thank you so much. The name of the book is
01:00:39.840
how to become a federal criminal. You'll actually laugh really, really hard, uh, all the way through
01:00:45.160
it. Uh, but there's important lessons to be learned in it, how to become a federal criminal,
01:00:50.300
perhaps a book that all of us should have on our shelves. I highly recommend you get it now by Mike
01:00:56.360
Chase. Mike, thanks for being on with us. More in a minute.
01:01:09.580
We have to have, we have to have him back on because I want to go through his cheese laws,
01:01:13.760
uh, which I think are hysterical. Uh, maybe we'll have them on, uh, maybe early next week, Stu. Um,
01:01:19.840
all right. I want to tell you about our, our sponsor. Uh, our sponsor is, uh, Norton,
01:01:25.240

01:01:32.540
to have a virtual private network because nobody's after you, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. However,
01:01:37.300
everyone is tracking you. Everyone is tracking you and they're tracking you and they are selling your
01:01:44.160
information to the highest bidder. Not only that, but people are trying to get your information for

01:02:28.560
off and never go to prison. I've been looking, uh, back into old speeches and, um, and old wisdom,
01:02:41.080
recently. And this week, um, I have been really looking back at Ronald Reagan speech, a time for
01:02:49.780
choosing. And I think it's a speech that could be given today in so many ways today. The news is
01:02:57.140
federal spending tops $3 trillion through may. Now this is October to may. So it's half a fiscal year,
01:03:05.860
$3 trillion for the first time deficit hits 738 billion, but that's a half year.
01:03:19.560
When Ronald Reagan came out in 1964, he said, look, I used to be a Democrat. And, and then I started
01:03:28.020
seeing what was going on in the democratic party. And it's a time for choosing.
01:03:32.780
I've used this speech, um, this week as a measuring stick and a guide on looking at the things and the
01:03:44.240
troubles that we have. And just in his day, he politicians back in 1964 were, uh, you know,
01:03:52.160
in the political parties were saying, you know, we've never had it so good. And that's how they
01:03:56.060
justified spending more than we had. We never had it so good. So in other words, loosen up the wallet
01:04:04.400
and the purse strings and let's spend some money here today. We hear similar, but perhaps even more
01:04:12.940
dangerous rhetoric. We're the richest nation on the earth. Well, it's not true. That's not true.
01:04:20.840
In 64, in 1964, it was true that we've never had it better. And I believe that's true today.
01:04:28.440
No American has ever lived the life that we have today. It's we've never had it so good.
01:04:34.460
Our lives are easier in many ways, and yet much more complex and difficult in other ways.
01:04:41.680
I'm not sure the people of my birth year in 1964 would trade places with us.
01:04:50.280
But it is true. We've never had it this good. But there's another concern.
01:04:56.900
Ronald Reagan talked and he said in 1964, they had only passed a balanced budget six times in the
01:05:04.320
preceding 34 years, six times a balanced budget. But congratulations, America, we can go one even
01:05:11.940
better. Not only have we not passed a balanced budget, we haven't even attempted to pass any
01:05:19.060
budget since 2008. There is no budget. We're making it up as we go along. Imagine running your household
01:05:26.920
or your business without a budget. Somebody comes to you, a crisis happens, and you're like,
01:05:32.180
yeah, we got to do that. How fast are you in uncontrollable debt?
01:05:39.800
In that time, we have increased our debt from what both sides said was an unpatriotic eight
01:05:47.560
trillion dollars to now almost twenty three trillion dollars. In 2017, our government spent
01:05:56.480
four trillion dollars. That's what they were spending. That's twenty one percent of our
01:06:03.500
GDP. But almost eight hundred billion of it was borrowed, and that was obscene. It was
01:06:10.500
approaching a trillion dollars of borrowed money. Well, the news that has just come out.
01:06:17.940
We're headed for about four, four and a half trillion dollars this year, and nearly one trillion
01:06:29.700
has already been borrowed, and we're only halfway through the fiscal year. If we're at 738, we could
01:06:37.280
be at one point four trillion dollars of borrowed money. Now, this debt at twenty three trillion
01:06:47.600
dollars is not only the not only bigger than all other countries combined, but it is the largest debt
01:06:53.720
ever accumulated in the history of mankind. Nobody has ever done anything like this before
01:07:00.600
and survived. In 1964, we had 15 billion dollars worth of gold in our treasury. 15 billion. They
01:07:14.880
would they would verify it back in 1964. They don't verify anything and talk to us about gold
01:07:20.640
on anything. And here's why. Because in 1964, we had 15 billion dollars worth of gold sitting
01:07:27.680
in our treasury. Yet foreign claims on that gold were 27.3 billion dollars. So we were already
01:07:36.840
running a gold deficit in 1964. We not only didn't have enough gold, we owed about 12 billion dollars.
01:07:46.520
In case the world ever ran on our treasury, we would be 12 billion dollars in gold short.
01:07:51.700
The dollar in 1939, if you had a dollar in 1939 and you saved that dollar and you went to spend
01:08:01.140
that dollar, that dollar in 1964 would only be worth 45 cents. That's how much they had devalued
01:08:09.860
the dollar. 55 cents just gone. Now, if you had a dollar when Ronald Reagan gave this speech
01:08:18.200
and it was worth a dollar in 1964, that dollar today is only worth about 18 cents.
01:08:31.280
It means all the money that you're saving, all the money that you're working hard for,
01:08:35.860
all the money that you're putting in the bank, you're putting in your 401k,
01:08:39.040
all that, those dollars are being devalued. They're being devalued by our treasury, by our Fed.
01:08:49.440
And the more Uncle Sam pushes those printing presses, the more Uncle Sam punishes those who live and
01:08:58.520
stay by the rules and want to manage things themselves and don't want to be on the dole and
01:09:04.160
want to save and want to have their own money. Those who saved are punished because they are
01:09:19.980
It is indeed a time for choosing because it won't continue to be this way. It cannot continue to be
01:09:28.500
this way. We are headed every day closer and closer to an actual hot war. And it has nothing to do with
01:09:36.920
anything really political. It has everything to do with financial. This cannot continue. And so how do
01:09:46.780
the elites usually cover their tracks, change the world, change the financial system? They have,
01:09:55.580
they have a big war. And by the end of it, you don't recognize the country that you once lived in,
01:10:03.840
but it doesn't matter anymore because you just want it to end. You want the, the war to end,
01:10:09.240
you want the pain to end. And so if it kind of looks like the country that you were from, okay,
01:10:14.580
okay, I'll take it. Think about the Germans. Think about the Germans. They wanted the,
01:10:21.000
they wanted the country that they knew in 1900. But by 1930, nobody remembered that country
01:10:29.580
anymore. And they were fighting for something that they couldn't even really articulate anymore.
01:10:36.360
And by 1945, they didn't care. They just wanted to eat. They didn't care what it looked like
01:10:42.700
anymore. They didn't care if they weren't the once great Germans.
01:10:49.900
Ronald Reagan spoke of the USSR, the Soviet socialist menace, which our children now know nothing about
01:10:59.420
because our corrupt Marxist education system has intentionally taken that away. Well, they won't
01:11:07.180
talk about that. And they won't really teach American history in any way. That is interesting.
01:11:13.560
New Jersey has now become the second state behind, of course, California to mandate that they must teach
01:11:28.000
Ronald Reagan said the Soviet union was the most dangerous enemy that man had ever faced.
01:11:32.780
I'm quoting in his long climb from the swamp to the stars.
01:11:38.600
And that may have been true in his day. It was dangerous.
01:11:44.060
But then as it is now, it's the ideology that we fight, not simply people. It's the ideology.
01:11:54.240
Eisenhower described the ideology of the socialists as the most hostile ideology,
01:12:01.880
global in scope, atheistic in character, ruthless in purpose, and insidious in method.
01:12:13.280
That ideology has now engulfed the entire Western world.
01:12:19.780
And yet we know we dare not mention its name or speak out against it.
01:12:25.360
We dare not point out that it is in league with another death cult, the Islamist theology.
01:12:39.720
But make no mistake, this conflict is between good and evil, freedom or slavery, redemption or despair.
01:12:47.000
It commands our entire being. Have you noticed that?
01:12:53.940
This is regulating almost everything that we do right now.
01:12:58.720
It absorbs our very being. It commands our entire attention.
01:13:04.540
And yet no one will admit what the truth really is.
01:13:07.000
And if we lose this fight, we lose our freedom.
01:13:12.060
We lose our freedom guaranteed under the Bill of Rights.
01:13:16.880
Because right now, a group of well-funded radicals right now are cutting the legs out from under the constitutional table.
01:13:28.260
And if we do not act now, in our own state houses,
01:13:33.900
if we don't stop them on what they're doing to the Electoral College,
01:13:43.600
And with astonishment, they will record that those with the most to lose
01:13:51.420
To our shame, history will record the names of the Marxists, radicals, anarchists, American Islamists
01:14:00.040
as those who had so much to lose that worked so hard to destroy it.
01:14:29.780
Recent survey found that privacy is the number one concern about home devices.
01:15:01.160
And we are aware now, 68% of people in this poll say they believe smart home devices listen
01:15:08.320
when you're not aware and they share data with companies.
01:15:10.720
But we do know that tech, one giant tech company employs thousands of people to listen exactly
01:15:19.120
what people are saying in the recording proximity of their smart speaker.
01:15:29.440
You haven't gotten rid of it because it's good.
01:15:32.720

So what was it that happened to Stephen Crowder?
01:16:15.320
Stephen Crowder was demonetized and then permanently demonetized because he upset the community.
01:16:26.140
Now, that is recognizing that the YouTube community is in lockstep whatever the people at Google believe.
01:16:40.540
And anything that makes that community go, ooh, I don't like that, then that's got to be banned.
01:16:54.740
Even though I don't think the majority is with Google, with Facebook, with these social justice warriors.
01:17:05.960
But he was going after a guy who said he didn't want to hear from you on Twitter.
01:17:13.820
He didn't want to hear from you if you weren't prepared to assassinate the people that he found unreasonable.
01:17:21.320
Now, he's saying this on Twitter, and I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt that he meant character assassination, but that's bad enough.
01:17:28.940
He also had said that we have to start milkshaking people.
01:17:34.580
And if you don't know what milkshaking is, people who are drinking milkshakes are not really a threat.
01:17:40.120
And so what the left suggests you do is you go get a milkshake, you stand there, and when you get close to one of these public figures, you throw it at them.
01:17:51.220
Nigel Farage is a friend of the program, and it doesn't deserve to be milkshaked.
01:17:59.780
I don't think anybody should be milkshaked, but here's the latest in this story.
01:18:09.020
Her name is Joe Brand, and she was joking about it on the BBC.
01:18:15.780
The host asked Brand, would you not say, Joe, that we're absolutely united in the feeling that we're living through a terrible time from a parliamentary point of view?
01:18:25.880
And Brand answered, well, yes, I would say that, but I think that's because certain unpleasant characters are being thrown into the fore, and they're very, very easy to hate.
01:18:39.000
I'm kind of thinking, why bother with a milkshake when you can get some battery acid?
01:18:52.260
Has her videos, of all of her videos, been monetized?
01:18:55.540
Or is this not upsetting to the YouTube community?
01:19:06.260
This is, in London, acid being thrown is not uncommon anymore.
01:19:22.280
So the left, the left, all they want is social justice.
01:19:31.780
Well, I'm going to give them a chance to let their voice be heard.
01:19:35.480
And what they are really saying within their own communities.
01:19:56.560
Something that is just, makes it a little more tolerable.
01:20:47.460
we thought we would celebrate by talking a little bit about the gay pride
01:21:04.320
and practitioner of bondage, discipline, dominance, submission,
01:21:10.560
For Yin Q, BDSM has long been a part of her understanding
01:21:19.180
Initially, she explored kink as a cabaret performer in college.
01:21:36.800
to elevate the experiences of marginalized people
01:21:46.580
She also hosts workshop for members of the LGBTQ community,
01:22:49.600
in the way that they're handing power over to me
01:49:13.840
electoral votes through congressional districts
01:49:21.520
any time because these states can by themselves
01:49:25.840
vote winner i would be fascinated to see if they
01:49:40.160
happen in 2016 that that trump might be able to
01:50:00.960
whatever democrat were to beat a donald trump or
01:50:11.520
that they would actually go through with this if
01:50:18.400
say yeah well when the electoral college or the
01:50:20.140
popular vote and we'll be able to still get the
01:50:33.780
areas are not and you will be ruled by the cities
01:50:42.220
2 000 miles across this country i'm telling you
01:50:46.560
the rural area cannot be governed by the cities and
01:50:51.280
the cities can't be governed by the rural areas
01:50:53.840
it's just not it's just not the same people live
01:50:57.760
dramatically different lives and that's the point
01:51:02.580
we have to find the balance between them we can't
01:51:06.180
force our point of view down other people's throats
01:51:09.520
once we start doing that once we say nope it's this way
01:51:13.580
for everybody nope you gotta live this way your town
01:51:17.220
can't do that your county can't do that your state
01:51:19.840
can't do that you've destroyed the american experience
01:51:23.380
the american experiment was can we all come together
01:51:29.840
different backgrounds different states different
01:51:35.840
and all live together yes we can but the federal government has to have
01:51:41.720
very limited power so the states can decide what they want to do
01:51:46.740
and the electoral college they can decide to do this
01:51:50.520
but this is only going to be the advantage at least in the short term
01:51:54.800
for the democrats and it is a way to make sure majority rules
01:52:03.060
now would we if situation was different and we controlled the cities
01:52:12.580
unfortunately but we are in the fight for our life here
01:52:20.640
and if you lose the electoral college you lose the republic
01:52:24.420
so tomorrow i'm going to try to get charlie kirk on
01:52:32.180
with this and he knows a lot about it and knows exactly which states
01:52:36.960
are are up next and he's going to be able to go through this with you
01:52:44.140
the tea party needs to get their act together and get back together
01:52:48.560
the 912 project needs to reactivate and come back together with this one
01:53:02.060
so i went over i went over the facts uh earlier on today's program about what is happening
01:53:19.280
to our to our economy what's happening to our dollar
01:53:24.040
in 2017 our government uh borrowed about 700 billion dollars to float the debt that year
01:53:36.600
this year it is double we are going to approach
01:53:41.640
probably 1.4 trillion dollars that we need to borrow
01:53:54.340
