00:00:17.840 I, you know, we're just going over the headlines of the day.

00:00:23.020 And I honestly do not recognize this planet as my home planet anymore.

00:00:29.120 It is, it's absolutely crazy.

00:00:35.180 I don't even know where to begin.

00:00:38.760 Sheriff says Florida cops shoved pills down an elderly woman's throat and stole her dog.

00:00:44.740 How a single typo led to the unraveling of Hillary Clinton's campaign.

00:00:50.200 They figured out what was wrong.

00:00:52.480 It was a, it was a typo that.

00:00:54.600 Um, Paris Jackson says that somebody murdered her father, Michael Jackson, and they're going

00:01:00.760 to murder her very, very soon.

00:01:04.320 Um, here's, here's one from the Washington Post.

00:01:07.680 The Washington Post believes, quote, Donald Trump will probably be the most ridiculed president

00:01:13.820 ever.

00:01:14.300 No, I find that so hard to believe.

00:01:20.640 Um, let's see.

00:01:22.440 How about this one from the Huffington Post?

00:01:25.060 Four things you should never say to the queer cripple during or after sex. 1.00

00:01:31.880 Ooh.

00:01:32.820 Uh, only the four?

00:01:34.880 I was thinking, I know about two, but I didn't realize.

00:01:37.880 No, there's four of them.

00:01:40.280 Wow.

00:01:40.580 And the Huffington Post, I just, I find this, let's start here right now.

00:01:45.060 Yes.

00:01:45.380 Yes.

00:01:45.600 Yes.

00:01:45.960 Yes.

00:01:46.100 I will make a stand.

00:01:48.720 I will raise my voice.

00:01:51.000 I will hold your hand.

00:01:53.240 Cause we are one.

00:01:55.260 I will be my drum.

00:01:57.480 I have made my choice.

00:01:59.740 We will overcome.

00:02:02.000 Cause we are one.

00:02:04.120 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:02:07.880 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:02:18.200 So I'm just looking for, I'm looking the news and I'm trying to understand, you know,

00:02:25.720 everybody's point of view and I'm learning so much stuff.

00:02:29.560 Good and, and stuff I don't want to learn.

00:02:32.740 Um, quite honestly, um, there's nothing wrong with more knowledge.

00:02:35.940 Why wouldn't you want to?

00:02:36.860 Right, right.

00:02:37.880 Um, I'm just trying to figure out some of the Huffington Post just confuses me a lot.

00:02:45.480 And I'm sure they feel that way about conservative or it just confuses them a lot.

00:02:52.520 This one, um, confuses me.

00:02:55.400 I, the, the headline is four things you should never say to the queer cripple during or after 1.00

00:03:02.080 sex.

00:03:03.120 There's a lot there because I didn't know cripple is an okay word to even use. 1.00

00:03:09.680 Thank you.

00:03:10.180 Thank you.

00:03:10.700 Thank you.

00:03:11.680 Right.

00:03:12.240 Thank you.

00:03:12.900 I thought we weren't supposed to use cripple. 1.00

00:03:16.320 Queer was also not okay to use until recently.

00:03:19.180 Yeah.

00:03:20.340 Like maybe 10, the last 10 years, maybe.

00:03:22.940 Oh, I don't know if it's been that long.

00:03:24.280 I'll have to get my book on what's okay to say and what's not okay to say.

00:03:27.380 I feel like queer eye for the straight guy made it okay for you to say queer. 0.54

00:03:30.800 Now I don't ever want to say the word in any other context, but I said it in a news context

00:03:36.820 and commentary, fair use.

00:03:38.880 See, conservatives can use words like that when they're, when it's fair use.

00:03:42.620 There's a, there's a very complex.

00:03:45.120 No, you can't.

00:03:46.080 I learned that from media matters because they have, they have shocking audio of me yesterday.

00:03:52.200 Oh no.

00:03:52.820 Shocking audio.

00:03:54.000 Oh, not again.

00:03:54.580 Not again.

00:03:55.300 Yes.

00:03:55.740 Oh no.

00:03:56.160 Yes.

00:03:56.640 Wait till you see it.

00:03:57.920 Stu, you're going to be so ashamed.

00:03:59.140 I showed it to Pat and I said, how did you allow me to say this on the air?

00:04:03.180 How did somebody not notice what I said?

00:04:05.660 And he listened to it and he was like, oh my gosh, I didn't, I didn't even hear that.

00:04:09.300 Yeah.

00:04:10.060 You listen to it and it is pretty.

00:04:11.960 You're bad crap.

00:04:12.880 Bad crap.

00:04:13.640 Crazy.

00:04:14.040 Crazy.

00:04:14.540 Yeah.

00:04:14.720 Crazy.

00:04:15.140 Okay.

00:04:15.520 Anyway, so four things you should never say to the queer cripple during or after sex. 1.00

00:04:20.400 Here's example number one.

00:04:22.320 Okay.

00:04:22.780 Here's example number one.

00:04:23.960 All right.

00:04:25.020 Taking care of you isn't so bad.

00:04:28.060 Oh crap.

00:04:28.520 Now you tell me I'm not supposed to say that.

00:04:30.940 What?

00:04:31.880 Dang it.

00:04:32.660 Yeah.

00:04:33.220 That is not, you're telling me that's not the first thing you say every time you have

00:04:36.480 sex with a queer cripple? 1.00

00:04:37.680 Yeah.

00:04:38.120 That's like, that's like number one, the number one thing I would say.

00:04:41.700 No, I see.

00:04:41.900 I know better.

00:04:43.040 I say that.

00:04:43.860 I say that.

00:04:44.960 I would say that.

00:04:46.300 I say that before sex.

00:04:48.100 Oh, before sex.

00:04:48.720 Because it's only during and after sex.

00:04:50.520 It's during and after sex.

00:04:51.840 Because what an aphrodisiac that is.

00:04:54.260 Right?

00:04:54.860 Yes.

00:04:55.380 Yeah.

00:04:55.520 Then they're all hot.

00:04:56.340 They're putty in your hands.

00:04:56.880 Who the hell would say that?

00:04:58.780 Who would say that in anything?

00:05:00.500 Taking care of you isn't so bad.

00:05:03.080 You know, you're a wonderful sexual burden.

00:05:05.640 Thank you for joining the party.

00:05:07.580 Who the hell would say that?

00:05:08.860 Who would say that to anybody on any front?

00:05:11.440 Queer, straight, cripple, fully abled. 1.00

00:05:14.620 Who would say that?

00:05:16.280 Okay.

00:05:17.260 I'm going to skip the second one that you shouldn't say.

00:05:19.640 Whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:05:20.560 What if we say it?

00:05:21.580 I know.

00:05:22.020 No, no, no, no.

00:05:22.460 This is the issue.

00:05:24.080 If we don't know it, we might say it and then violate Huffington Post's rules.

00:05:29.100 Do you really want me to say it?

00:05:30.960 No.

00:05:31.620 Okay, thank you.

00:05:32.620 You can't massage it as a broadcaster?

00:05:34.160 Yes.

00:05:34.500 Okay.

00:05:34.940 All right.

00:05:36.000 Can you perform?

00:05:38.600 Mm-hmm.

00:05:40.300 Perform.

00:05:41.000 I mean, it's not...

00:05:42.460 Can you...

00:05:44.200 Can you...

00:05:44.900 The equipment still work?

00:05:46.240 Get it going.

00:05:47.160 Okay.

00:05:47.420 Can you get it going?

00:05:48.180 You're not supposed to say that?

00:05:49.240 How are you even supposed to know?

00:05:50.060 Again, if you're saying it during or after, it doesn't work.

00:05:54.020 You say that before, not during or after.

00:05:58.480 If you don't know after, it wasn't that good.

00:06:02.200 It wasn't that good.

00:06:03.140 No.

00:06:03.640 Okay.

00:06:04.040 Okay.

00:06:05.900 You remind me of...

00:06:08.280 So probably the most unsettling thing a guy said to me was this.

00:06:13.400 Let me say that we were in the middle of a heavy, heavy make-out session that was really

00:06:18.020 intense.

00:06:19.400 And all of a sudden, he stops abruptly and looks me straight in the face.

00:06:23.260 I was secretly hoping for a second he was catching his breath or regrouping or something.

00:06:27.500 But he had something, and I didn't expect this to come out of his mouth.

00:06:31.040 There we were, half naked.

00:06:33.980 And he said, we have to stop.

00:06:35.600 We have to stop right now.

00:06:37.740 Okay.

00:06:38.280 Okay.

00:06:38.640 No problem.

00:06:39.640 Against my better judgment, I asked, why?

00:06:42.920 Because you remind me of my ex's 12-year-old child who passed away, they were in a wheelchair

00:06:52.520 just like you.

00:06:53.860 Oh, I am so embarrassed.

00:06:55.960 I said the exact same thing.

00:06:58.480 That has happened to me I don't know how many times.

00:07:00.740 That is so embarrassing.

00:07:02.520 Yeah.

00:07:02.880 Wow.

00:07:03.480 I think this article is a little too specific.

00:07:07.740 Because I know they go after niches on the internet, but this is a specific...

00:07:12.980 I have not noticed it on the HuffPo like this.

00:07:16.800 So wait a minute.

00:07:17.300 So this is a...

00:07:18.440 So the group that would be targeted with this specific thing would be a queer cripple, using 1.00

00:07:23.960 their terms, who had a person, a lover who had a 12-year-old daughter...

00:07:32.340 Yeah, in a wheelchair that died.

00:07:33.400 In a wheelchair that died.

00:07:34.900 Yeah.

00:07:35.280 So don't say that.

00:07:36.020 That's microcasting there.

00:07:37.600 And here's the number one thing that you should not say.

00:07:40.480 Actually, it's number three.

00:07:42.520 But I put it at number one.

00:07:44.020 Oh, really?

00:07:44.100 And I think it's...

00:07:45.220 You've reordered the list.

00:07:46.560 I have reordered it.

00:07:47.380 Are you that much of an expert on this topic that you could reorder the list?

00:07:49.420 Well, let's not get into it.

00:07:50.940 Okay.

00:07:51.080 I just think this one you shouldn't say.

00:07:54.900 And it's so...

00:07:56.020 It's...

00:07:56.980 Boy, it's something we would all say.

00:07:58.940 Yeah.

00:07:59.280 And just slip out.

00:08:00.400 Okay.

00:08:00.860 Okay.

00:08:01.160 The number one thing that you should not say to the queer cripple before... 1.00

00:08:07.340 I'm sorry.

00:08:08.060 During or after sex.

00:08:10.340 If I were you, I would just kill myself.

00:08:15.960 What?

00:08:16.880 Yes.

00:08:17.640 Yes.

00:08:18.200 Wow.

00:08:18.760 Who the hell would say that to someone?

00:08:20.360 Yes.

00:08:20.740 Well, obviously, this happened to him, right?

00:08:23.020 Did this happen to him?

00:08:23.940 To be honest, this one came out of left field for me.

00:08:26.940 Quote, I had met this guy at a conference, and we went back to my hotel room to

00:08:31.100 play.

00:08:31.940 We had a pretty good time.

00:08:33.380 Clothes came off.

00:08:34.240 Bodies touched.

00:08:34.920 Things had gone pretty okay for the impromptu hookup.

00:08:39.380 He was putting his shirt back on and fairly nonchalantly remarked, I don't know how you

00:08:45.900 do it, man.

00:08:47.060 And if I were you, I'd just end it.

00:08:49.160 I'd kill myself.

00:08:50.860 Holy crap.

00:08:52.420 Yeah.

00:08:53.240 That is a dark turn to the evening.

00:08:56.420 Yes, it is.

00:08:57.200 So I guess the Huffington Post readers need this kind of advice.

00:09:03.340 I'm proud to say, I don't think we need this kind of advice.

00:09:07.180 I think these are just straight up common decency kind of things.

00:09:11.500 They do seem that way.

00:09:12.400 I will say, however, it was a more interesting article than about 90% of the crap I read on

00:09:17.000 political news right now.

00:09:18.280 That was an interesting perspective on the world.

00:09:21.720 It really was.

00:09:22.420 I am looking for new perspectives.

00:09:26.680 I'm looking to understand people.

00:09:29.320 I'm trying to read as much diversity as I possibly can to see the language and the point of view.

00:09:39.060 And this is a confusing one for me because I read this.

00:09:45.440 Honestly, it was.

00:09:46.420 It was fascinating to read.

00:09:48.660 But the whole time, I'm like, who needs this advice?

00:09:51.860 Seriously.

00:09:52.980 Not that it's about a queer cripple. 1.00

00:09:55.360 It's about common decency.

00:09:57.700 Who needs somebody to say, hey, don't say if I were you, I'd just kill myself.

00:10:01.940 I will say, I have said that to Jeffy, I think, several times.

00:10:05.080 I believe everyone in this room has.

00:10:06.640 Yes.

00:10:08.100 They're just having to do with sex.

00:10:09.820 But I'm not a queer cripple.

00:10:10.920 But yeah, but in Jeffy, it's true with you.

00:10:12.780 Yeah, yeah.

00:10:13.280 I think when it's accurate, you can say it.

00:10:15.060 It's just what they're saying in this article is that it wasn't accurate.

00:10:17.760 It wasn't accurate.

00:10:18.640 He was like, you're a good guy.

00:10:19.960 You're a good guy.

00:10:20.400 You're a good guy.

00:10:21.080 You're not Jeffy.

00:10:22.300 It's like label.

00:10:23.380 It has to be false before it's a problem.

00:10:25.260 Right.

00:10:25.760 If you prove it's true, then you're okay.

00:10:27.640 On your perspective with Puffington Post and how people see things, you see different perspectives.

00:10:33.300 Yeah.

00:10:33.520 I thought this was fascinating yesterday.

00:10:35.320 Did you see this Shia LaBeouf video?

00:10:37.420 Yeah.

00:10:37.920 It was like a rabid dog.

00:10:39.560 Yeah.

00:10:39.700 He was screaming into the ear of this guy.

00:10:41.420 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:10:41.960 Now, the other part of that is the guy who was saying Heil Hitler.

00:10:48.620 There's no one to like in this video.

00:10:50.720 Right.

00:10:51.160 They're both bizarre, terrible people.

00:10:53.760 Listen to the two ways this was reported.

00:10:55.500 If this does not show you so much about the way the media is right now.

00:11:01.140 I love it.

00:11:01.840 Can I tell you something?

00:11:02.860 I love this time period.

00:11:04.380 I really do.

00:11:04.820 It's fascinating.

00:11:05.600 It's a fascinating time period to live.

00:11:08.360 And it is.

00:11:09.240 It's fascinating in the way that you can point it out on both sides.

00:11:14.420 Yeah.

00:11:14.620 Where five years ago, three years ago, we had a hard time.

00:11:19.080 We thought we were all high and mighty.

00:11:20.960 And we're like, well, we would never do that.

00:11:23.320 Well, no.

00:11:24.080 And so now it's like I'm an observer.

00:11:27.080 Now I'm just sitting here watching my country burn itself to the ground.

00:11:34.100 And no one seems to be looking for an exit.

00:11:37.400 And it's like, huh?

00:11:39.480 Yeah.

00:11:40.640 This was fun for the past couple hundred years.

00:11:43.140 Right.

00:11:43.340 It was.

00:11:43.740 It's very interesting to watch.

00:11:45.740 So Huffington Post reports that incident as Shia LaBeouf expertly shouts down alleged white supremacists during live stream.

00:11:55.560 Expertly.

00:11:56.160 Expertly.

00:11:56.820 Shouts down.

00:11:57.720 Right.

00:11:57.900 Now, it wasn't that he was screaming in his ears as loud as he could to try to force him off the screen.

00:12:02.940 Also, you know, Huffington Post, I know your journalistic standards are strong here, but he's not an alleged white supremacist when he says the abbreviation for Heil Hitler into the camera.

00:12:12.980 He's just a white supremacist.

00:12:14.380 You don't need a legend for that one.

00:12:16.220 He said it into the camera.

00:12:18.240 Minor difference there.

00:12:19.040 But expertly.

00:12:19.920 This was an expert move by Shia LaBeouf.

00:12:22.060 Now, the Trump favoring sites reported it this way.

00:12:26.600 Shia LaBeouf melts down and gets physical with counter protester.

00:12:30.120 Dude is a ticking time bomb.

00:12:32.840 Now, that's it's the same incident.

00:12:35.620 And I do think there are elements of truth in those.

00:12:40.200 In both of them.

00:12:40.800 In both of them, I guess.

00:12:41.960 But see, all they're doing is all they're doing is they're counting on you just reading the headline and then watching the video.

00:12:52.220 And just seeing or maybe not even watching or watching the video with the sound off.

00:12:57.180 You know what I mean?

00:12:58.460 Just seeing Shia LaBeouf just going crazy because you don't have to watch it with with the sound.

00:13:06.060 Just read the headline because that's all people do is read the headline.

00:13:11.960 What are you going to get from the headlines?

00:13:14.600 You know, I've been trying to, you know, try to make points on Twitter, trying to, you know, you can't luck with that.

00:13:24.900 You can't.

00:13:25.920 You can't.

00:13:26.920 You can't have any definition.

00:13:31.620 You, I mean, there's, there's, there's, there's, it's just, it's just, it's just black or white the whole time.

00:13:40.200 Because you say one thing, you don't, for 144 characters, there's no nuance there.

00:13:45.600 There's no nuance.

00:13:47.580 And life is, because here's what happened.

00:13:51.960 Shia LaBeouf looked like a rabid dog in that video. 0.99

00:13:56.840 Okay, so what does that say?

00:14:00.040 Glenn Beck's just saying Shia LaBeouf is, and he supports the Heil Hitler guy.

00:14:07.080 If I say the Heil Hitler guy was a straight up racist, and I don't have time to write, I don't have enough characters to write anything about Shia LaBeouf.

00:14:18.420 There are, there are only two sides now to everything, and there's no nuance.

00:14:27.140 You're either for Shia LaBeouf or against Shia LaBeouf, which means, translation, you're either for Donald Trump or against Donald Trump.

00:14:36.620 That's it.

00:14:37.200 It's so weird, and the Twitter thing is a particularly interesting place for that stuff to happen, because people tend to think that they are very smart if they can identify an argument you didn't make in the 144 characters.

00:14:51.540 So if you don't give the nuance of, you know, okay, you can try to make your main point, and then they think, well, here's something you didn't say in that one half sentence that you have.

00:15:01.720 Exactly right.

00:15:02.260 That doesn't make you smart.

00:15:03.600 No.

00:15:03.800 That doesn't make you interesting.

00:15:05.280 Obviously, this format is not designed for nuance.

00:15:08.780 Right.

00:15:08.900 You have a short period of time to deliver the information.

00:15:12.420 It has to be quick.

00:15:13.480 You can't give all the disclaimers.

00:15:14.980 That's what the format is designed to do.

00:15:17.000 So it's not notable that you could come up with something else that could have been said but didn't fit.

00:15:23.440 I'm always amazed by that, that people think, because you have, if you're going to sit there and obsess, and like, everyone gets off the rails on some point you're trying to make,

00:15:32.180 because they try to think of all the things you didn't say.

00:15:34.320 Well, it's 144-character format.

00:15:37.200 No, I didn't say every single disclaimer.

00:15:39.700 No, I didn't give you every bit of nuance.

00:15:41.720 That's not what you're supposed to do on Twitter.

00:15:43.940 It's incredible.

00:15:44.820 It's just incredible.

00:15:45.800 It's like an opportunity for everybody to feel so, you know, intelligent.

00:15:49.820 Superior.

00:15:49.980 Every liberal in the world.

00:15:51.520 It's amazing.

00:15:52.500 And it happens on both sides.

00:15:53.920 Yes, both sides.

00:15:55.020 Now this.

00:15:56.180 You have a ton of things on your to-do list this year.

00:15:58.800 Get organized.

00:15:59.380 Just get in better shape.

00:16:02.200 Oh, I remember then that was a goal.

00:16:06.100 To do all you have to do, you have to be well-rested.

00:16:08.940 And that starts with getting a great night's sleep, which you're guaranteed to get every single night when you sleep on a Casper mattress like I do, like Pat does.

00:16:17.220 Casper is one perfect mattress with two high-tech foams that provide all the comfort and support you need no matter what position you sleep in.

00:16:41.880 If you've ever had a foam mattress before, oh, they're nightmares.

00:16:45.900 This one is, this is why Time Magazine said it was the invention of the year.

00:16:50.960 Not only is it changing the way a foam mattress behaves, they're also changing the way the industry is selling mattresses, and that's why you can get a great mattress.

00:17:01.920 One of the best mattresses I've ever slept on, you can get this mattress now for a price that you would pay for a really crappy mattress, quite honestly.

00:18:48.840 No, I didn't see Florence Foster Jenkins.

00:18:53.160 What?

00:18:53.580 I don't even know what that movie is.

00:18:56.280 Meryl Streep.

00:18:56.800 I think it's the one.

00:18:57.660 Meryl Streep is 50 to 1 odds that she's going to win the Oscar. 1.00

00:19:01.280 But after that speech she gave, you think that remains 50 to 1 odds?

00:19:05.180 No.

00:19:05.720 I mean, it is 50 to 1 after the speech.

00:19:09.220 However, I just think it's a good bet.

00:19:10.660 Yeah.

00:19:11.060 I think it's a really good bet.

00:19:12.820 Apparently, everyone thinks Emma Stone's going to win for La La Land. 1.00

00:19:15.560 She was some of the best acting I have seen.

00:19:19.360 She's a good singer? 1.00

00:19:20.620 Yeah.

00:19:21.420 I mean, it wasn't.

00:19:24.080 It's weird.

00:19:25.140 It's not like the musical musicals.

00:19:27.520 I mean, the first scene is.

00:19:29.880 But the rest of it is, you know, more like.

00:19:33.560 Are they talking songs?

00:19:34.920 No, they're not talking songs.

00:19:36.500 But it's not full-throated Broadway show tunes either.

00:19:40.040 And so it's just different.

00:19:41.720 But I thought they were both really good.

00:19:44.320 I think Meryl Streep.

00:19:45.080 But she, the acting that Emma Stone did is off the charts. 0.99

00:19:50.180 The other favorite is Natalie Portman for Jackie.

00:19:52.680 But I thought she wasn't nominated.

00:19:54.300 No, she was.

00:19:54.820 She was nominated for Best Actress.

00:19:56.180 And she's kind of like the second favorite.

00:19:58.000 And then everyone else is a long shot.

00:19:59.080 But Meryl Streep at 50 to 1. 1.00

00:20:00.300 You got to pull the trigger on that.

00:20:01.900 That's a solid.

00:20:02.980 Just because they want another one of her speeches, right?

00:20:05.580 If she wins, she goes in front of, as they always say, a billion people.

00:20:08.840 And gets to say bad things about Donald Trump, which is, of course, what they want.

00:20:13.040 You would not be surprised at all.

00:20:15.220 Remember, this is a woman who they say is the greatest actress of all time.

00:20:17.960 That is obviously a lie.

00:20:19.440 You want to talk about fake news.

00:20:20.880 They get critical of Sean Spicer.

00:20:22.560 That's much worse.

00:20:24.200 But she's been nominated 19 times.

00:20:27.360 This is her 20th nomination.

00:20:28.700 She's only won three.

00:20:30.280 So percentage-wise, I mean, you know, she's under the Mendoza line a little bit.

00:20:34.180 She needs to get that up. 0.99

00:20:35.100 Well, and this would be a perfect time to give her this award so she can come out and rail against people who like football. 1.00

00:20:40.620 When do they vote for this?

00:20:43.740 They voted after the nominations, right?

00:20:46.300 The nominations.

00:20:47.940 Well, yeah, you got to have somebody to vote for.

00:20:49.760 Yeah.

00:20:50.020 So it was after the nominations.

00:20:51.820 And then before the actual.

00:20:54.000 So they probably.

00:20:54.500 I know before the award.

00:20:56.640 But I mean.

00:20:57.140 They vote after the Oscars.

00:20:58.220 But the nominations.

00:20:59.560 I thought the nominations come from a vote.

00:21:01.920 Don't the nominations come from the vote?

00:21:03.420 No, I think the Academy throws out a group of people and then you vote for who you vote for.

00:21:08.860 Okay.

00:21:09.880 Well, I think there's a good shot.

00:21:12.180 She is the darling of Hollywood right now.

00:21:14.720 I mean, that's not a bad bet.

00:21:16.200 No, it's.

00:21:16.840 Take a shot.

00:21:17.620 Yeah.

00:21:19.040 Be a total ripoff.

00:21:20.320 But exactly like Hollywood would do.

00:21:22.400 Yep.

00:21:22.680 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:21:26.120 Mercury.

00:21:27.520 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:21:29.220 So where are we headed as a culture and a people?

00:21:39.080 There's this war going on over truth, over media.

00:21:44.100 And if we can't agree on facts, we're toast.

00:21:51.420 And yesterday, Jake Tapper took down Donald Trump in an epic proportion.

00:22:00.100 And I'm sorry, but Jake Tapper was one of the only guys telling the truth during the Obama administration.

00:22:08.100 He asked all of the tough questions.

00:22:10.640 Yeah.

00:22:10.800 He was one of the only ones that did.

00:22:12.820 And he's got real credibility.

00:22:16.220 And he's a Philadelphia Eagles fan.

00:22:18.180 So, I mean, that's obviously.

00:22:19.540 Well, he had real credibility.

00:22:20.980 Thank you for that.

00:22:21.620 Just lost it.

00:22:22.820 Here he is yesterday.

00:22:24.120 Listen to this.

00:22:24.800 President Trump is claiming and the White House is reaffirming the fiction that millions of illegal votes were cast in the 2016 election.

00:22:31.900 It is empirically a stunning allegation for which the White House is providing no evidence.

00:22:37.540 And there is a reason they are providing no evidence.

00:22:40.260 There is no evidence.

00:22:41.380 It is not true.

00:22:42.820 Moments ago, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer acknowledged that the president believes three to five million votes were illegally cast in November.

00:22:50.220 It was interesting what Mr. Spicer did not say.

00:22:53.380 He did not say that he shared the belief even after he was asked.

00:22:58.020 Now, why would that be?

00:22:58.880 Perhaps because there is zero evidence of widespread voter fraud in the 2016 election.

00:23:04.100 Now, has there ever been voter fraud?

00:23:06.300 No, it's simply not true.

00:23:07.300 In fact, if there were even a fraction of the voter fraud that President Trump is alleging, he would be derelict not to order a major investigation.

00:23:23.220 It would likely require a vast conspiracy involving public officials all over the country and would likely have had far-reaching impact in other contests, tainting races down the ballot, not just the presidential race.

00:23:35.260 If President Trump's beliefs are true, Republican leaders in Congress should be holding hearings and trumpeting this injustice every single day.

00:23:43.600 His Justice Department, his Department of Homeland Security, all of them would need to crack down immediately.

00:23:50.260 Unless, of course, it's not even remotely true, which is, of course, the case.

00:23:55.960 The first point is interesting that he makes in there, which is, he keeps talking about the presidential race.

00:24:05.440 Well, all the down-ballot races.

00:24:06.500 You had, I mean, Republicans who lost in very close races.

00:24:09.860 You had Democrats who lost in very close races.

00:24:12.960 If this is true, then there should be a giant investigation and the balance of the Senate could be at stake.

00:24:18.580 Or maybe a 60-seat majority, who knows, with these sorts of numbers for Republicans.

00:24:22.920 Beyond that, you know, we had this, he has this weird thing where he says that, you know, 3 to 5 million people voted illegally.

00:24:31.740 And the assumption is they all voted for Hillary Clinton.

00:24:34.980 However, he told us a million times how well he was going to do with Hispanics.

00:24:39.200 He got, I think, what, 15% of the vote, 17% of the vote of Hispanics.

00:24:42.540 So, if that wound up being, we don't even know.

00:24:46.440 You can't assume they all voted one way.

00:24:49.560 If you have millions of votes missing, it's important because it theoretically could swing the entire election.

00:24:57.820 If 40,000 people in those three states switched their vote from one way to the other, Hillary Clinton would have won. 1.00

00:25:03.140 Now, the interesting part about that is they didn't.

00:25:06.380 And that didn't happen.

00:25:08.420 She didn't win.

00:25:09.560 There wasn't these millions of votes that could turn this election.

00:25:12.600 Why he keeps touting this is bizarre.

00:25:15.320 I don't know if it's...

00:25:16.740 Apparently, Trump has just called for a major investigation.

00:25:19.760 Yes, he did do that on Twitter this morning.

00:25:22.540 This morning because of Tapper.

00:25:24.600 Yes.

00:25:25.140 No doubt.

00:25:25.700 Because of Tapper.

00:25:26.240 No doubt.

00:25:26.720 Maybe.

00:25:27.180 He called him out.

00:25:28.520 And so now he has.

00:25:30.580 So now what happens...

00:25:32.400 He didn't say it was about the election, though.

00:25:33.400 He said it was about voter rolls and such.

00:25:35.120 He said it was about voter fraud and going through the voter rolls.

00:25:39.580 But that's good.

00:25:41.340 Sure.

00:25:42.060 That's good.

00:25:42.540 The one piece of evidence they keep pointing to is a 2000, I believe, 2012 study from, I think it's Pew,

00:25:49.480 where they talk about how there are millions of people on the voter rolls that maybe have died or maybe have moved to other states.

00:25:58.480 It does not mean they cast votes.

00:25:59.980 The people who did the study say it does not mean that.

00:26:02.260 They specifically said, no, what they're claiming about this study is not what the study says.

00:26:08.100 But they just keep quoting it over and over again.

00:26:09.740 And I don't know if this very well might just be one of those things where they think it's a good strategy.

00:26:13.980 We've talked about Trump as a brilliant media manipulator for a long time.

00:26:18.680 And it may very well be they're doing these things like we'll say this thing that is blatantly obviously false that everyone can go and fact check like the crowd sizes or whatever.

00:26:31.000 People will chase that squirrel over there and we'll get real work done over here.

00:26:35.380 And that is the best way to look at it.

00:26:37.080 I will tell you.

00:26:38.060 I mean, play.

00:26:38.920 Can you play what Van Jones said yesterday?

00:26:41.600 Listen to Van Jones.

00:26:42.660 He knows.

00:26:43.680 In a system where you have 320 million people, 180 million that can vote, there will be some people who do bad things.

00:26:51.020 In a key election, Van, that can be anything.

00:26:52.640 Hold on a second.

00:26:54.860 Three to five million people is bigger than some of our states.

00:26:59.880 It would be a massive number of people.

00:27:02.680 And you would have to believe some of the worst things possible, both about our electors.

00:27:10.300 It's also, I didn't want to talk about this.

00:27:13.520 But as I've been trying to point out, trying to get people to vote when they are eligible to vote is almost impossible.

00:27:21.600 The idea that there's five million people out there who are not eligible to vote, that you could somehow get to vote.

00:27:26.360 I don't know.

00:27:26.820 Why not find out how many?

00:27:28.160 Well, Trump doesn't want to apparently.

00:27:30.580 But let me say something else.

00:27:32.180 It could be the case that this is the most genius thing that Trump has ever done.

00:27:38.380 Because we are talking about this, and maybe he's glad, because all these wonderful things that he's done today are actually awful things from my point of view.

00:27:49.880 He's doing terrible things.

00:27:52.720 That was the strategy of the Bush administration.

00:27:55.020 Somebody else yesterday wrote about how he's trying to overwhelm the system.

00:28:02.560 He's trying to put all these things out to overload the system.

00:28:04.940 And I'm like, well, huh, it's interesting that you would say that, and you didn't recognize it when Obama was doing it.

00:28:12.720 Yeah, I believe Major Garrett actually did do something back in the Obama administration where he talked about this as a strategy where you let flares go out there that everyone's going to go crazy about while you get all the other stuff done.

00:28:24.300 You pointed that out over the Obama administration as watch the other hand.

00:28:28.320 And that is a strategy that is successful here.

00:28:31.640 I mean, look, the media has spent the entire first week of the Donald Trump administration talking about nonsense.

00:28:38.900 They are talking about whether these crowds are bigger.

00:28:41.580 They are talking about whether Sean Spicer is lying.

00:28:45.380 They are talking about this thing with the millions of votes.

00:28:49.380 When, yes, it would be a gigantic story, as Jake Tapper points out.

00:28:52.640 It would be one of the most, probably the biggest election story in the history of the republic if what Donald Trump said was true.

00:28:59.880 I don't think that's overstating it.

00:29:02.100 But none of them believe that Trump even believes it's true.

00:29:05.680 They're all just saying, well, this is an opportunity for us to say that Donald Trump is lying to us, which I guess you have to do if you're the media.

00:29:15.480 But, you know, it's distracting them from all the typical things they would go after a Republican on where he's, you know, opening up pipelines, which is obviously a really positive thing.

00:29:25.460 Can I tell you something?

00:29:26.080 They're not even mentioning it.

00:29:27.420 What does, you know, what does Air Force One have?

00:29:31.360 What do our, you know, our bombers, our B-1 bombers, what do they have?

00:29:35.920 When somebody's sending a missile up, what do they do?

00:29:38.880 They spray debris so that it chases the wrong thing.

00:29:42.100 It doesn't chase the plane.

00:29:42.920 It chases the debris.

00:29:43.540 You send out, you know, flares or what do they call it?

00:29:46.720 Chaff. 0.99

00:29:47.440 They send it out with a heat signature and it scatters everywhere hoping that the missile goes after that.

00:29:56.180 This would be a smart strategy.

00:29:59.320 I don't know that it is.

00:30:00.660 Yeah, I don't know that it is a strategy.

00:30:03.360 It would be smart.

00:30:04.380 To be able to get things through, it would be smart, but it destroys the fabric of the Republic.

00:30:11.620 I mean, I don't like it as a strategy, but it might be effective.

00:30:16.360 It's effective to get things done, but it is also an effective strategy to destroy the fabric of the Republic.

00:30:22.180 Because you cannot have a president that believes in conspiracy theories.

00:30:30.480 You just can't.

00:30:31.460 You can't.

00:30:32.300 And you can't have a press just moving past blatant lies.

00:30:40.980 Because there's going to be a lot of people out there that believe all this stuff.

00:30:44.120 They will never look at it as a strategy.

00:30:48.040 How do you, I don't know what you're supposed to do if you're in the media.

00:30:51.840 I mean, you know, look, they've dug themselves this hole.

00:30:55.620 They dug a giant hole.

00:30:57.100 And I don't know.

00:30:57.940 But I don't know what you're supposed to do.

00:30:59.780 Because I think that they probably feel like, well, we should, we have to say this stuff.

00:31:04.900 We have to go after these claims.

00:31:06.600 But at the same time, I mean, and believe me, I look at this as a real positive.

00:31:10.400 Like, the fact that they're not covering, you know, if this was a Mitt Romney administration, him opening up that pipeline would have been the biggest story for three weeks.

00:31:19.140 Yep.

00:31:19.420 And so it's an effective strategy.

00:31:22.140 It is.

00:31:22.800 Nobody's talking about it.

00:31:23.620 Nobody's even talking about it.

00:31:24.380 I mean, it was a big story.

00:31:25.380 When Obama had the thing, the pipeline going through the Dakotas, he opened up that pipeline.

00:31:29.980 It's the one they were protesting.

00:31:31.780 And that was, it's a note in the, to use TV terms, D block, the fourth segment, where they're kind of just throwing in the other stuff you might need to know.

00:31:40.400 And so, and it very well might be that the Trump administration has figured this formula out and are working it well.

00:31:48.400 And it's constantly presented as, well, he's just angry and he can't believe it and no one will take him seriously.

00:31:53.340 Maybe it's not that guy.

00:31:54.800 Maybe he's not.

00:31:55.680 And if he's not, it's going to be an effective strategy.

00:31:57.820 It's still not one that I like, but it might be an effective strategy to get these things done.

00:32:01.400 And a lot of things getting done will be good.

00:32:03.000 The question is, does he believe it?

00:32:05.700 But, you know, that, that, you know, with Barack Obama, you pretty much knew he didn't believe the thing, you know, doctors are cutting the feet off of, by the way, could you please find that audio, Pat?

00:32:18.980 Because Time Magazine said it doesn't exist.

00:32:22.240 I mean, we played it a hundred times.

00:32:23.660 Do you have it?

00:32:24.500 Yeah, I have it.

00:32:25.220 If a family care physician works with his or her patient to help them lose weight, modify diet, monitors whether they're taking their medications in a timely fashion, they might get reimbursed a pittance.

00:32:42.440 But if that same diabetic ends up getting their foot amputated, that's $30,000, $40,000, $50,000, immediately the surgeon is reimbursed.

00:32:53.500 I mean, there it is.

00:32:54.720 You did the same thing with tonsils.

00:32:57.620 Same, same basic premise with tonsils.

00:33:01.220 And you come in and you've got a bad sore throat.

00:33:06.860 Or your child has a bad sore throat or has repeated sore throats.

00:33:11.280 The doctor may look at the reimbursement system and say to himself, you know what?

00:33:17.340 I make a lot more money if I take this kid's tonsils out. 1.00

00:33:19.940 I mean, or if you need a breathalyzer or an inhalator, not a breathalyzer, that was during that period where he was saying all these stupid things and doctors weren't speaking out about that.

00:33:36.420 I know, and I was just going to say, the press didn't report it, the doctors didn't speak out, nobody spoke out about that and said it was an outrageous lie, an outrageous accusation.

00:33:45.540 And I was going to make the point before I heard it again that at least with Obama, we knew that he didn't mean it.

00:33:51.980 Well, I don't.

00:33:52.460 No, he means it.

00:33:53.020 No, I'm not sure.

00:33:54.560 Listening to it again, he, you know.

00:33:56.860 I think he did.

00:33:57.480 I don't know if he, if he meant it or if he knew that it was just a ruse.

00:34:02.620 He meant it as an argument to win that particular moment at the very least.

00:34:06.500 But I believe he thinks American doctors would amputate somebody's feet for $30,000 extra dollars.

00:34:15.000 I do believe that.

00:34:16.060 He doesn't like capitalists.

00:34:17.560 He doesn't.

00:34:18.180 Yeah.

00:34:18.840 He doesn't.

00:34:19.680 And the profit motive is evil to them, you know.

00:34:22.780 Right.

00:34:23.340 It's a negative.

00:34:25.180 And in that context, it would be.

00:34:26.800 Right.

00:34:27.440 I mean, so I guess it's exactly the same thing is they just didn't cover Barack Obama.

00:34:32.440 Now, in fairness, people like Jake Tapper did most times.

00:34:37.180 I don't think he did it on this one, but he did call him out.

00:34:40.560 Remember, I mean, Jake Tapper, I'll give you a good example of this.

00:34:44.560 He's the guy who found initially the chart that revealed what the Obama administration's projections on the unemployment rate.

00:34:53.720 If we pass the stimulus and if we don't.

00:34:55.280 And he was the one that said, by the way, did you know when they were pitching this to you, they said it was never going to go above 9% and that's when we were at 10%.

00:35:04.660 And that was that's digging and looking through, you know, he's a good.

00:35:09.900 I mean, he did that over and over again.

00:35:11.980 He's a journalist.

00:35:12.540 He is.

00:35:12.940 You don't know if he is Republican, Democrat, independent.

00:35:16.640 You don't know.

00:35:17.280 And that's the way it should be.

00:35:19.720 He takes on both sides fairly.

00:35:22.500 Hopefully, people recognize that.

00:35:25.960 Now, this told you a story about the Los Angeles homeowner who lost $40,000 last month.

00:35:30.880 Burglars stole or came in, stole the $40,000 by breaking a single pane of glass. 0.91

00:36:36.200 So, glad that you're here today.

00:36:37.960 You want a quick update here, Glenn?

00:36:39.460 All-time first.

00:36:41.400 First time it's ever happened.

00:36:42.820 Okay, yeah.

00:36:43.880 Dow 20,000.

00:36:45.480 Oh, yeah.

00:36:45.920 Just crossed it.

00:36:46.300 Yeah.

00:36:46.680 First time ever.

00:36:47.460 So, everything's fixed.

00:36:48.500 The economy's good.

00:36:49.940 We will be saying.

00:36:51.120 We will be saying, wow, this is worse than 1931.

00:36:58.440 And we will be saying it.

00:37:03.000 Well, I'll just leave it at that.

00:37:04.540 We'll be saying it in the future.

00:37:06.220 This is worse than 1931.

00:37:09.900 This is.

00:37:10.540 People don't understand.

00:37:13.320 You're seeing the effects of hyperinflation in the stock market.

00:37:18.140 That is the beginning of massive inflation.

00:37:22.600 Remember how everybody says it's not pegged to any fundamentals.

00:37:25.360 How is this pegged to fundamentals?

00:37:29.620 These are not average investors.

00:37:34.060 These are the big investors who have the access to the cash to the $4 trillion that was printed.

00:37:44.400 It didn't go to the plumber that wants to have a loan to expand his business.

00:37:49.380 It went to the gigantic businesses and the banks.

00:37:53.440 And the banks took that money and they're investing it in the stock market and they are making money on it.

00:37:59.720 It's all inflated money.

00:38:02.480 It's bogus money.

00:38:05.480 And when this comes apart, hyperinflation or inflation will hit you like it is the stock market.

00:38:48.620 Welcome to the program.

00:38:51.220 Well, the stock market has broke $20,000.

00:38:53.960 It's broken for $20,000.

00:38:55.700 And a lot of people that were giving, you know, Obama credit for the economy saying the stock market is the ultimate in judging a president and his effect on the economy.

00:39:10.560 Listen, listen, listen to hear them compliment Donald Trump now.

00:39:16.440 No, I can't hear their voices.

00:39:19.600 It has nothing to do with the president.

00:39:21.340 It has everything to do with the Fed.

00:39:23.340 And it's an important thing that you need to understand.

00:39:25.900 Also, the first poll numbers are out about Donald Trump and some interesting things that actually appear to be a real positive for Donald Trump.

00:39:35.640 We'll get there.

00:39:36.840 Coming up, we begin with the stock market right now.

00:39:39.920 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:40:01.540 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:40:06.020 I'm trying to get to, I'm trying to get to the information I had on the stock market and I can't because it's on, what is it, the up, up, up cloud, jump, what is it?

00:40:19.800 Jump cloud.

00:40:20.600 Jump cloud, is that like Rike?

00:40:24.440 Rike or?

00:40:25.060 No, Rike is separate.

00:40:25.940 Rike is separate.

00:40:28.840 We're using Rike as, and this Rike is really good, but it's pissing me off because I can't get, I can't, my password won't work.

00:40:37.500 So if I try to get to Rike, Rike is this thing where you can do group projects and I can't get my password to work.

00:40:45.680 That's why you just keep the same password, jump cloud, and then everything is.

00:40:48.800 Oh yeah, that's a good safe, a good cyber safety tip there, Jeffy.

00:40:51.780 Just keep the same password.

00:40:52.760 No, you just get in.

00:40:54.320 We're at this side of the wall, let them try to get in.

00:40:56.640 What is jump cloud anyway?

00:40:58.120 What is that?

00:40:59.200 I don't understand any of this news.

00:41:00.940 We should explain that we're in the middle of a transitional period of technology here at the studios and it's a challenging, it's a challenging task.

00:41:10.280 It may be challenging for others.

00:41:11.600 Well, Pat, I walked in this, I walked in this morning and Pat was, what were you trying to, you were trying to log into, it wasn't jump cloud.

00:41:21.180 No, I was trying to log into, just the Wi-Fi.

00:41:27.840 Just the Wi-Fi.

00:41:28.520 So I've got like 19 different devices here because I can access it on one, but I can't access it on the other.

00:41:34.620 So I go to the other one for this and something else to put audio into this.

00:41:38.160 I have to tell you, I am ready to give, I am ready to voluntarily give anyone who asks, including the government, a retina scan as opposed to all of the stupid password stuff.

00:41:51.260 I can't take it anymore.

00:41:52.380 Oh, I do that in a heartbeat.

00:41:54.380 We haven't watched our television in about two months.

00:42:01.680 Two months?

00:42:02.700 Two months.

00:42:03.380 Why?

00:42:03.700 What happens?

00:42:05.420 Well, I'm not really sure.

00:42:08.600 Okay.

00:42:08.860 We had, we had the Wi-Fi changed and we have, because of, because of, we have to have firewalls and everything.

00:42:16.940 You know, I'm, I'm, I want to be safe and I am a little paranoid.

00:42:20.340 The cyber.

00:42:21.220 Yeah.

00:42:21.400 You have a big focus on the cyber.

00:42:22.840 I am a little of the cyber.

00:42:24.360 And so we have, you know, Cisco systems.

00:42:27.120 It's not like I go, you know, I just have an Apple, you know.

00:42:30.940 Like a normal consumer product.

00:42:32.380 Like a normal business.

00:42:33.320 Yeah.

00:42:33.540 So I have absolutely no idea.

00:42:36.180 I opened up, a friend came over and I said, can't reset the Wi-Fi.

00:42:41.280 I have absolutely no idea how to reset the Wi-Fi.

00:42:45.900 And they're like, well, where, where, where is it?

00:42:50.400 And I said, come on.

00:42:51.620 I went upstairs and went into the, the equipment closet for the cyber, opened it up and he went, holy.

00:42:59.800 And I said, yeah, yeah.

00:43:00.820 So all I can think of is either push reset, but reset may reset the entire thing back to the, you know, factory settings or I could unplug it.

00:43:14.340 And we both looked at each other for a while and went, well, reset sounds like a bad idea because that's probably what it does.

00:43:22.860 But he, what the hell, let's unplug it is worse than reset probably.

00:43:31.420 No, it didn't work.

00:43:32.380 Neither did it.

00:43:33.240 It didn't work.

00:43:33.440 So anyway, so because of the Wi-Fi, I couldn't get my remote control to connect to the television because the television, the remote control on the television is through Wi-Fi.

00:43:51.160 Wi-Fi on the iPads.

00:43:54.120 Okay.

00:43:56.060 So God help us on that.

00:43:58.580 We finally found a, the remote control, but then the remote control will turn on the television, but won't turn on the other devices that the iPad would.

00:44:09.100 Yep.

00:44:09.680 Okay.

00:44:10.180 Then I finally found the Apple TV remote control.

00:44:13.740 These are all first world problems.

00:44:15.880 We understand, but it's infuriating.

00:44:19.300 It's infuriating.

00:44:19.960 I can't take it anymore.

00:44:21.160 So last night we finally got, we're just using the mirror on the, I mean, to use my TV, haven't used the TV in, in the bedroom either.

00:44:29.780 I mean, that one won't work either.

00:44:31.460 Yeah.

00:44:31.660 The bedroom's strictly for sleeping now.

00:44:34.140 So I can't get it.

00:44:35.020 Interesting.

00:44:35.420 You didn't even include the possibility of sex.

00:44:37.400 It was just either sleeping or TV.

00:44:39.320 Those are the two things they're used for.

00:44:40.940 So, yep.

00:44:41.560 So, so I haven't used that one in, I don't know how long.

00:44:47.060 I don't even know if that thing, it probably has tubes in it. 0.99

00:44:49.980 The last time I checked that television, the television in the, in the family room, finally got it to work last night, but we're just using the mirror on the, on the iPad.

00:45:02.240 Oh, okay.

00:45:03.020 So, okay.

00:45:03.340 So just the Apple mirror, but I can't hear it because I can't turn on the speaker system.

00:45:11.260 And so like you have to sit up right close to the TV to be able to hear it.

00:45:18.100 It's, it's insane.

00:45:19.880 It is.

00:45:20.580 I, we have the, you know, I told you that my wife got me that, that big TV for, for Christmas.

00:45:25.700 Yes.

00:45:26.140 75 inches.

00:45:27.300 And so I walk into the bedroom the other night as we're getting ready for bed.

00:45:31.300 Jackie's watching Netflix on our little computer screen.

00:45:34.580 What are you, what are you doing?

00:45:36.480 You're, you've got this 75 inch TV.

00:45:39.720 Yeah, I can't get on anything on that.

00:45:41.720 So I'm just watching it right here.

00:45:43.180 It's just, it's fine.

00:45:43.920 Can I tell you something?

00:45:44.740 We have watched show after show after show on the iPad, sitting there next to a 65 inch television screen.

00:45:50.400 Got two of them in the house.

00:45:52.120 Yeah.

00:45:52.300 We just sit there and it's just, it's just gathering dust.

00:45:55.220 Well, and if you use all the apps and stuff on the TV, you need, you need separate passwords for Amazon, for iTunes, for Netflix, for Hulu, your cable system.

00:46:05.120 You've got to know that password.

00:46:06.220 I don't know any of them.

00:46:07.560 So here's what happened.

00:46:08.480 So we went on and we go and we start my son's PS4 and he's like, dad, this is the greatest because we use the PS4 and we, so we spend the time trying to remember all the damn passwords for Hulu, for Amazon, for Netflix, for everything.

00:46:28.720 We finally get it all set up.

00:46:31.460 He signs into something on PS4 and my wife says, do not sign that thing up with anything that has anything to do with our family.

00:46:43.160 You're not signing that up for the family, okay?

00:46:47.100 So he's putting in a, she says, use this, um, use this, uh, email address.

00:46:55.820 Right.

00:46:56.420 And, you know, separate stuff.

00:46:57.420 You know, separate stuff.

00:46:58.340 Okay.

00:46:58.480 So use this email address, everything else.

00:47:00.400 Well, my son sets it up and he, he sets it all up, but then he doesn't put in his name.

00:47:07.960 He doesn't put in his, his birth date.

00:47:09.880 He doesn't put in anything and he doesn't write anything down.

00:47:15.660 So then the system resets, he logs out and we're like, okay, well, you got to log back in.

00:47:23.540 Okay.

00:47:23.900 Well, I don't remember the past.

00:47:25.360 What's that?

00:47:26.140 Oh my gosh.

00:47:27.120 And then of course, doesn't know the birthday or doesn't know anything.

00:47:29.240 Yeah.

00:47:29.380 So he says, well, I can retrieve the password.

00:47:31.540 And this is honestly what he said.

00:47:33.240 I can retrieve the password.

00:47:34.920 And I said, oh, how?

00:47:37.220 And he's like, the, the hints will help.

00:47:39.140 Okay, good.

00:47:39.840 So just said, what's your birthday?

00:47:42.020 And he said, well, I think it was March and it wasn't over March 20th.

00:47:50.260 And it was between 1972 and 1980.

00:47:54.260 I'm like every five times it will reset on you, but don't worry about it.

00:48:02.040 Unbelievable.

00:48:02.820 We have a, our kids, you know, watch, they tend to watch the same movie over and over

00:48:06.960 again, as some kids tend to do.

00:48:09.420 And so we have DVDs for the car that we'll occasionally watch in there.

00:48:13.400 And my wife keeps saying to me, I'm in the middle of sort of an internal household civil

00:48:17.500 war over this issue, which she keeps suggesting very nicely that we should get a DVD player

00:48:25.520 for our downstairs, like main family room area, because, you know, I don't watch DVDs

00:48:30.860 anymore.

00:48:31.100 So I don't have a DVD player hooked up to that system.

00:48:34.260 And the DVD player, when you do the sort of the cost benefit analysis, you probably get

00:48:38.700 one at Walmart for $30 right now.

00:48:40.720 I mean, maybe 40 or 50.

00:48:42.020 I don't know what they cost at this point.

00:48:43.160 They're very cheap.

00:48:43.860 Um, and it would be a great thing if they're watching when they were like five, $600.

00:48:48.020 Oh yeah.

00:48:48.280 It used to be really expensive, but they're nothing now you can buy them for nothing.

00:48:51.040 So that is part of the cost benefit analysis.

00:48:53.860 The other part is how much do I price the frustration it will be for me to try to hook that DVD player

00:49:00.020 into the system and reprogram the remote to actually make it work.

00:49:03.500 Thousands of dollars.

00:49:04.140 $50,000.

00:49:05.260 So is it worth $50,000 and $30 to get this DVD player?

00:49:09.280 I will tell you, I have had, I mean, we've had the engineers from the studios come out.

00:49:15.660 I don't know how many times and the wifi in my house is finally working, but the TV, no

00:49:22.700 idea.

00:49:23.400 I have had, you know, these home theater experts will make everything in your house work and

00:49:29.160 it'll be great.

00:49:29.920 It'll all be on your iPad.

00:49:31.620 Shut up. 0.95

00:49:32.340 Just give, I don't care if the remote control is wired to the TV and I have to have a big

00:49:38.300 cable that I drag, just make the damn thing work. 0.99

00:49:43.280 Well, we got, I got the new smart, you know, the new curve, smart TV in the family room.

00:49:47.960 I thought, I'm going to go watch one of my, one of my new movies and it's smart TV.

00:49:51.500 So I just log on to where I watch my movies, right?

00:49:53.280 From voodoo. 0.92

00:49:54.660 No, there's too many devices logged in.

00:49:56.700 You can't watch it on this TV.

00:49:58.260 So I just go in the bedroom and I'm telling my wife, how come?

00:50:02.340 We can't watch it.

00:50:02.940 We need to kill a device.

00:50:04.100 Oh no, we don't need to kill a device.

00:50:05.460 You need to use the, uh, you need to use the blue, the Blu-ray Bluetooth DVD player.

00:50:11.660 That's hooked up to the 55 inch curve.

00:50:13.740 That's a smart DVD player that has all the apps on the DVD player, not the TV.

00:50:19.740 How helpless are we going to be when the EMP hits?

00:50:22.920 We are.

00:50:23.480 Oh my gosh.

00:50:24.240 Oh my gosh.

00:50:25.320 We're scared.

00:50:25.840 We are already at the place.

00:50:27.200 I convinced you remember the book, the book that changed the course of my life.

00:50:32.340 For an entirely different reasons was Carl Sagan's Demon Haunted World.

00:50:38.680 Do you remember that?

00:50:39.900 I remember you talking about it.

00:50:41.200 Okay.

00:50:41.520 I've not read it.

00:50:42.640 So Carl Sagan wrote a book.

00:50:44.540 Um, it was, it was his last book before he died of cancer.

00:50:47.320 And, um, it was called Demon, the Demon Haunted World.

00:50:51.680 Highly recommend it.

00:50:53.040 And he talks about a time when, um, we will go back like the days of the Renaissance where it was a demon haunted world where the experts, the ones who spoke Latin would say, oh, well, you know, it's making that happen. 0.87

00:51:10.100 Evil spirits, evil spirits are making that happen to you.

00:51:13.440 I can make the evil spirits go away because they were the only ones who spoke the language. 0.99

00:51:18.980 Well, your IT guys and the people who can make these things work when it's beyond your son, my 12 year old, you know, it's, it's that saying something when you're 12 year old can't figure it out and gives up.

00:51:33.500 My son was walking around like me.

00:51:36.160 I said, you're turning into an old man. 0.99

00:51:37.860 He's like, oh, this is so frustrating.

00:51:40.100 It doesn't make any sense.

00:51:41.380 Why is this not working?

00:51:42.580 And I'm like, oh, hello, grandpa.

00:51:47.360 But we're entering that world to where the people who have the answers, they can make your life.

00:51:53.660 Just you just, all you do is you sit at home and just go, so somebody make it work.

00:51:57.180 Can somebody make it work?

00:51:58.300 And that's what he predicted, that Americans and the world would come to a place where you would just sit at home and go, can somebody make this work?

00:52:08.360 Might I suggest something like LastPass?

00:52:10.940 Have you used that at all?

00:52:12.220 No, but what is that?

00:52:12.780 People on the feed are just bringing that up as well.

00:52:15.500 It's a system that basically stores all your passwords and fills them in for you.

00:52:19.140 Oh, it's a system?

00:52:20.260 No, it's a system.

00:52:21.240 It's going to make our lives easy.

00:52:22.640 The word system is the enemy?

00:52:24.240 I don't know.

00:52:24.600 It is now.

00:52:25.300 It is in my house.

00:52:26.280 I haven't had TV off of my iPad in months.

00:52:30.860 It's a website.

00:52:31.640 You've got to remember one password.

00:52:33.120 But then you go in, once you're in there, you have all of your passwords in one place and it fills them in for you.

00:52:37.680 Yeah, but don't you have to remember the passwords in the beginning to put the passwords into the system?

00:52:42.860 Well, it actually does like a scan of your system.

00:52:46.100 A lot of people have a lot of them already stored somewhere.

00:52:48.800 So it can find the ones that you have already there.

00:52:51.300 And a lot of them you'll actually...

00:52:51.880 Oh, I'm ready to write it on my forehead.

00:52:53.300 It will actually dig them out of your system a lot of times.

00:52:56.060 Really?

00:52:56.480 Yeah, because some that you may have forgotten, but you had stored in an old browser.

00:53:00.620 You'll find those.

00:53:01.500 But the point is, you do probably have to know some of them.

00:53:03.880 I mean, it's not going to magically create your passwords for you.

00:53:07.080 But then it will also generate passwords for new sites that are...

00:53:12.140 I don't know the passwords to any of my sites.

00:53:13.820 You want to talk about your problem with Carl Sagan.

00:53:15.360 I'm like, if this company goes out of business tomorrow, which there's no site of it, I'm going to be in trouble.

00:53:21.840 But they'll give you all these crazy symbols and sevens and exclamation points and these crazy passwords you'd never be able to remember.

00:53:28.760 But you just, whenever you go to the site, it automatically just logs you in, so you don't need to remember them.

00:53:32.300 You just need to remember the one password.

00:53:33.480 I was actually trying to watch something with my son last night, and I thought, that's what needs to happen.

00:53:40.440 You need to have some system.

00:53:42.580 You know, like the random...

00:53:44.320 One ring to rule them all.

00:53:45.900 That's what we need.

00:53:47.700 You need a...

00:53:49.900 What is the device that it would give you an auto...

00:53:54.800 It would change the combination locks of very, very complex systems, like every 12 hours, this combination changes, et cetera, et cetera.

00:54:05.280 And it would just send you what the combination is, you know, so you would have it.

00:54:10.000 Yeah.

00:54:10.600 I was thinking last night, that's what you need.

00:54:12.420 To remain safe, you need to be able to have something that generates it.

00:54:15.580 And keeps it and does it for you.

00:54:17.480 It's like Authy.

00:54:18.920 It's like what?

00:54:19.420 And there's Authy is one of them, and there's another...

00:54:21.300 There's a Google product that does this.

00:54:23.100 So, like, when you have a...

00:54:23.920 For two-way confirmation...

00:54:26.320 Yes.

00:54:26.660 They'll send you something, and you have to open up the app to get the exact code at that second to log you into the other site.

00:54:31.980 And so...

00:54:32.860 And it is like that constantly, randomly generating number combinations for high, you know, level security.

00:54:39.460 Which is kind of nice, and it's pretty easy, because you just have to look at one app to get it.

00:54:43.060 I will give you the retina.

00:54:44.440 I will actually dig the retina of my eye out with a spoon and give it to you.

00:54:49.240 Take my blood every hour.

00:54:50.520 Yeah.

00:54:50.800 Is that what you need?

00:54:51.480 What do you need?

00:54:51.880 I don't care what it is.

00:54:53.260 Just make the damn stuff work.

00:54:55.400 Now this.

00:54:56.640 David Barton is back tonight for the episode of The Vault.

00:54:59.680 It's an episode we're calling Bad History.

00:55:02.080 Wait until you see the artifacts that we have to show you tonight, deep in the bowels of the Liberty Vault.

00:55:09.500 When it comes to protecting these artifacts, there is one company that I trust, and that is Liberty Safe.

00:55:18.280 Do your homework like I did.

00:55:19.940 You will find that Liberty Safes make great, tremendous safes.

00:55:25.260 And right now, they're making 500 a day.

00:55:28.380 And as you do your homework, you will see that they make them here in America.

00:55:32.540 Every Liberty comes with a lifetime warranty, and their customer service is number one.

00:55:37.720 I have, I mean, we live in an area where we get tornadoes, and I have one-of-a-kind artifacts.

00:55:46.960 When you have something that is a signed document from George Washington and a letter from Thomas Jefferson, there's one, one copy of that.

00:55:57.300 What do you do with it?

00:55:58.700 We keep them in a Liberty Safe, sucked up in a tornado.

00:56:02.120 Well, first of all, they're all bolted to the floor.

00:56:04.260 But if they're sucked up somehow or another in a tornado, I have seen them sucked up in a tornado, dropped a block away, and the Liberty Safe is still closed, locked tight, and everything inside is all right.

00:57:41.600 I don't think so.

00:57:42.920 No?

00:57:43.480 No.

00:57:43.840 Really?

00:57:44.860 Yeah.

00:57:45.180 Are you thinking Sean Spicer's a really good White House press secretary?

00:57:48.160 No, I think he's in an impossible situation.

00:57:50.480 Yeah, he is.

00:57:51.080 He's in an impossible situation.

00:57:52.800 That is true.

00:57:53.460 But he is, but it's bizarre what we're learning about him.

00:57:56.800 Like yesterday, we learned that Sean Spicer...

00:57:59.800 We learned he went to war with Dippin' Dots, which was brilliant. 1.00

00:58:03.860 Yeah, that's what it was.

00:58:04.440 Went to war with Dippin' Dots. 1.00

00:58:05.840 That was great.

00:58:06.380 Today, we learned that he has a habit of chewing gum and swallowing two packs of Orbit cinnamon

00:58:15.580 gum by noon every day.

00:58:19.000 So instead of throwing the gum away when it's getting...

00:58:21.700 He just swallows it.

00:58:22.720 He just swallows it.

00:58:24.440 Doesn't that stay in your stomach for seven years?

00:58:27.820 That's a...

00:58:28.420 Yes, it does.

00:58:29.380 That's an alternate fact.

00:58:31.460 Stomach.

00:58:32.100 Alternative fact.

00:58:33.560 That can't be digested by the human digestive system.

00:58:38.980 When they take an x-ray of his innards, it's going to be just a lot of gum.

00:58:42.920 One ball of Orbit gum.

00:58:44.420 That's all.

00:58:45.000 Luckily, our mom was wrong on that one.

00:58:46.500 Wow.

00:58:46.520 Okay, well, good.

00:58:47.200 Moms were wrong on that one. 1.00

00:58:48.380 Good.

00:58:48.840 It's a weird thing, though.

00:58:49.860 Like, everyone spits it out.

00:58:51.840 Like, it doesn't...

00:58:52.580 It wouldn't be problematic to swallow it, right?

00:58:54.700 I mean, it wouldn't...

00:58:55.600 It's obviously not hurting him, right?

00:58:57.440 And it's just a weird thing that we just don't do it.

00:59:01.120 It's like, is it...

00:59:01.800 Because we were told it would stick inside us.

00:59:03.140 We all had our moms say...

00:59:04.740 That is true.

00:59:05.980 My mom used to say, it'll stick to your ribs.

00:59:08.720 How does it get out of my stomach and get to my ribs?

00:59:11.940 It doesn't make it to your stomach.

00:59:13.820 It just sticks to your ribs.

00:59:15.300 It just sticks to your ribs.

00:59:15.500 On the way down, yeah.

00:59:16.380 Gets out of the esophagus.

00:59:17.960 Right.

00:59:18.200 Goes right to the ribs.

00:59:18.960 And then just jumps right to the ribs.

00:59:20.440 Wow.

00:59:20.960 Like, isn't it more kind of gross to take it out of your mouth and put it...

00:59:24.800 I mean, like, it's kind of a weird thing that we...

00:59:27.260 But if you're eating two packs of Orbit...

00:59:31.940 What?

00:59:32.240 I mean, I don't want to...

00:59:33.100 What's it look like on the...

00:59:34.260 I mean...

00:59:34.560 I don't want to think about that.

00:59:36.000 Why would I want to...

00:59:36.740 Why would you go there?

00:59:37.640 I don't know.

00:59:38.440 I mean, how much is it...

00:59:39.520 How much of it is digestible?

00:59:41.260 You're asking another question related to the same topic.

00:59:43.620 I don't know why you would do that.

00:59:44.960 Just saying.

00:59:46.980 That's what I want.

00:59:47.900 That's what I want Sean Spicer to talk about in the press conference today.

00:59:53.780 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:59:57.280 Look at me.

00:59:59.240 This is...

01:00:00.580 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:00:04.640 Interesting.

01:00:05.240 Because normally we lead with our mistakes and something slipped past us yesterday that

01:00:11.340 I've noticed, Glenn, you haven't brought any attention to and you always brag about

01:00:16.680 where we lead with our mistakes.

01:00:18.220 We're going to lead the halfway point of the show with our mistakes.

01:00:21.580 That's what we're doing.

01:00:22.620 We're leading right now.

01:00:23.760 All right.

01:00:23.960 If you feel good about that.

01:00:25.100 But here we are halfway through the show.

01:00:26.980 No, seriously.

01:00:27.400 Take this seriously.

01:00:28.100 Because this is something that...

01:00:29.460 It's bad.

01:00:30.260 Yeah.

01:00:30.480 Slip by me.

01:00:31.320 And I didn't...

01:00:32.240 I didn't even realize it.

01:00:33.400 And I'm surprised, Stu, you didn't hear it.

01:00:35.200 When Pat heard it, because he was like, you didn't say that.

01:00:37.800 And I'm like, yeah, I want you to listen to it.

01:00:41.200 And when he heard it, he was like, was Stu even in the room?

01:00:45.020 I'm kind of ashamed that it took Media Matters to point this out to us.

01:00:48.560 Okay.

01:00:48.840 So Media Matters said Glenn Beck is back to his old tricks.

01:00:53.060 The woke Beck thing is not happening.

01:00:55.840 He is saying that the women's march was a conspiracy and a...

01:01:06.000 Part of the caliphate. 0.98

01:01:06.980 A caliphate clue. 0.85

01:01:08.980 Yeah.

01:01:09.620 I didn't remember saying it, but listen to the tape.

01:01:11.980 I'm afraid tomorrow I have to go back to my chalkboard.

01:01:15.160 We've been working on it this weekend.

01:01:16.880 We're going to give you some of the connections.

01:01:18.240 We're going to talk to the woman who wrote that article for the New York Times about the

01:01:21.520 connections to George Soros and to radical Islam.

01:01:25.620 Are you listening, Stu?

01:01:27.100 And have a talk with her.

01:01:30.280 Tomorrow I'm bringing the chalkboard in because the connections are there.

01:01:35.300 And if you want to call me a conspiracy theorist again, you can.

01:01:39.820 I'm not going to accuse anybody of anything.

01:01:43.780 I'm just going to point out the facts.

01:01:45.740 Because somebody has to, and perhaps, perhaps, someone in the media will listen.

01:01:57.400 I don't know if they will.

01:02:02.320 Wait.

01:02:04.140 What was the...

01:02:05.740 Are you hearing the spooky music afterwards?

01:02:07.280 Yeah.

01:02:07.780 I did hear the spooky music.

01:02:08.740 You can't play spooky music like that.

01:02:11.180 If it's not incredibly incendiary.

01:02:14.380 Did you hear the caliphate clue there? 0.99

01:02:17.880 You heard it all, right?

01:02:18.760 The caliphate clue? 0.95

01:02:20.040 Yeah.

01:02:20.320 Yeah.

01:02:20.640 That was the headline.

01:02:21.700 The conspiratorial talk.

01:02:22.560 The conspiratorial caliphate clue. 0.89

01:02:25.600 You bastard.

01:02:27.000 It's interesting.

01:02:27.700 They're still mocking the caliphate given that we're at a war with ISIS.

01:02:30.320 No, no, no.

01:02:31.420 Well, there's actually a caliphate.

01:02:32.600 They're actually trying to establish it.

01:02:33.740 But he did not say any of that stuff.

01:02:36.080 And experts.

01:02:36.820 This one we haven't even talked about.

01:02:38.240 I can't remember which government expert it was.

01:02:39.960 But a government expert has said that Erdogan is going to be the caliph by 2018.

01:02:47.100 Oh, cool.

01:02:49.380 Yeah.

01:02:50.340 I like that.

01:02:51.200 I think about it.

01:02:51.980 Scary.

01:02:52.940 That does make it feel like you've said something bad.

01:02:56.140 Yes.

01:02:56.980 You know?

01:02:57.420 Right.

01:02:57.940 Because he did say something bad.

01:03:00.060 What was their problem with that?

01:03:02.540 I mean, obviously, I know they're not going to agree with your conclusions.

01:03:04.760 To my tricks of conspiracy and caliphate. 0.94

01:03:09.720 They caught you dead to rights.

01:03:10.740 You said you were going to do an interview with someone who wrote a story.

01:03:13.460 For the New York Times.

01:03:16.680 Now it sounds like that was bad.

01:03:20.220 I love this.

01:03:23.500 Because all the people are back to their tricks.

01:03:27.320 And we're being so careful.

01:03:29.820 I'm trying to be so careful and so calm and so rational.

01:03:33.560 Well, I didn't present this story about George Soros.

01:03:38.840 The author of the story from the New York Times did.

01:03:43.500 And she was a... 0.99

01:03:44.460 Oh, wow.

01:03:44.980 Now it sounds terrible that she did that.

01:03:46.900 Yeah.

01:03:47.560 Was it...

01:03:48.760 She was a Wall Street Journal reporter, too.

01:03:51.180 I mean, it's not like just somebody who wrote on the...

01:03:53.520 No, it's not...

01:03:53.860 No.

01:03:54.880 That's a very strange thing to complain about.

01:03:58.200 Yeah.

01:03:58.800 Well, that was the audio that they actually put with the headline.

01:04:02.800 So if you read the audio...

01:04:03.940 Because I read the story and I'm like, holy cow.

01:04:06.380 I said, what?

01:04:08.180 And I listened to the...

01:04:09.720 And I'm like, oh, my gosh.

01:04:11.060 That is hysterical.

01:04:13.100 There's nothing...

01:04:13.780 I didn't say anything in that clip.

01:04:15.280 There was nothing except I'm going to do an interview with somebody who wrote an article

01:04:18.180 in the New York Times.

01:04:20.340 But if you have the stinger there, it's going to sound bad.

01:04:25.160 Yeah.

01:04:25.700 So our deepest apologies for...

01:04:30.340 I love that.

01:04:33.040 That's their attempt.

01:04:33.920 Like, we're pensive and serious.

01:04:35.560 Yeah.

01:04:36.420 And we've just uncovered something.

01:04:38.600 You know who's doing this is the guy...

01:04:41.780 What was his name?

01:04:42.600 Angelo Car...

01:04:43.820 Corrosive?

01:04:46.520 I can't remember.

01:04:47.120 Caruso or something.

01:04:48.920 He's like one of the big guys at Media Matters.

01:04:51.820 Okay.

01:04:53.000 And he was shopping this yesterday.

01:04:56.660 But he still proudly puts on his Twitter feed that he was...

01:05:01.240 You know, he was the guy behind Stop Beck.

01:05:03.400 Do you remember that?

01:05:03.980 Yes.

01:05:05.620 Yeah, they did all the fake news about me.

01:05:08.380 Yeah, yeah.

01:05:09.180 And I thought, here's a guy who's holding himself up as a guardian of fake news.

01:05:14.800 Wasn't that the website that claimed you killed a nine-year-old girl?

01:05:18.780 I don't remember.

01:05:20.600 I think it was.

01:05:21.460 You know, I didn't believe it until I heard that.

01:05:23.840 I didn't even think I killed it.

01:05:24.660 Now you know it's true.

01:05:25.980 Now you know it's true.

01:05:27.920 Normally people can't get away with that.

01:05:30.340 But somehow you did.

01:05:32.200 Somehow you did.

01:05:32.840 Isn't it just inherently kind of ridiculous to post a clip of a guy you said you stopped?

01:05:39.580 Like if you're bragging rights that you stopped someone, how can you be playing clips of them speaking on the air?

01:05:46.280 Yeah.

01:05:47.180 On a nationwide broadcast.

01:05:49.320 It's weird.

01:05:49.920 But I'm sure it's valid.

01:05:51.380 Because if I said anything bad about them, they might put this sound after me.

01:05:55.980 Oh my gosh.

01:05:56.740 Did you just hear what Stu said?

01:05:58.400 No, but I didn't say anything.

01:05:59.580 Really, really bad.

01:06:00.440 It's like, really bad.

01:06:01.880 That's crazy.

01:06:04.240 That's crazy.

01:06:06.400 That's a quality organization, Media Matters.

01:06:09.120 A quality, quality organization.

01:06:11.640 So where do we head?

01:06:12.460 Seriously, where do we end up?

01:06:14.800 We have Jake Tapper being demonized.

01:06:18.440 Yeah.

01:06:18.680 We have people arguing over actual facts, like all of these organizations are tied to George Soros, printed in the New York Times.

01:06:33.860 Okay.

01:06:35.780 That somehow or another is now being questioned, but not the New York Times.

01:06:40.120 New York Times is not a place where fake news happens.

01:06:43.080 But yet, they apparently must have printed the fake news because Glenn Beck is a conspiratorial freak who's back to his old tricks with fake news about George Soros.

01:06:53.160 Which came from the New York Times.

01:06:55.160 Came from the New York Times.

01:06:57.740 I mean, where do we go when neither side will agree?

01:07:03.480 And neither side is self-aware.

01:07:05.340 A really good example of that is the argument at the rally that they had between, I think the guy was one of the bikers that came and were trying to speak truth to the people who were protesting.

01:07:17.520 Well, he was one of the bikers with his bicycle.

01:07:20.560 Oh, he was only on a bicycle?

01:07:21.460 He was just walking through the crowd with his bicycle, yeah.

01:07:23.720 Okay.

01:07:24.820 But this black bicyclist confronted some of these women who were yelling about women's rights. 0.98

01:07:32.820 And his issue was Planned Parenthood.

01:07:35.080 And he was trying to tell them, look, that's, I mean, that's not a good organization.

01:07:39.200 But here's all that was accomplished.

01:07:41.000 See how settled this argument is now.

01:07:44.480 Political correctness is a disease.

01:07:46.520 Oh, yeah, I feel sorry for you because Planned Parenthood is a racist system. 0.59

01:07:52.400 Margaret Sanger was a Planned Parenthood.

01:07:55.680 You know what?

01:07:56.820 Margaret Sanger thought very little, low, of black people.

01:08:00.640 She thought they were ignorant and they shouldn't agree.

01:08:04.320 But she's making a good point, too.

01:08:07.620 Planned Parenthood, Planned Parenthood is a good, it's not like black people. 1.00

01:08:11.400 You cannot put down a black man and a black woman yelling at each other on the street. 1.00

01:08:16.860 We shouldn't be fighting any type of Planned Parenthood.

01:08:18.400 Planned Parenthood is a joke.

01:08:20.000 And anyone that doesn't know their history, know your history about Margaret Sanger, the beginning of Planned Parenthood.

01:08:26.400 Planned Parenthood is the most racist organization.

01:08:29.680 It is nice, though, to see that blacks are waking up to Planned Parenthood. 0.97

01:08:44.960 I love that.

01:08:45.860 Yeah.

01:08:46.260 I love that.

01:08:46.840 I think that is, I think that's starting to come undone.

01:08:49.140 I think, I mean, you know, if you were a Leninist and you didn't believe necessarily in Marxism, but you did believe in destroying the system and tearing all of it apart, you would be happy today.

01:09:02.400 You would be happy because it's all going to come undone.

01:09:06.940 And that is the audio of, it's a reenactment of the text of every Facebook argument in America right now.

01:09:15.320 Like that is, that's all it is.

01:09:17.120 And Twitter.

01:09:17.420 I had, my wife had yesterday posted something relatively innocuous on the issue of abortion, which she opposes.

01:09:26.620 And of course, she has lots of friends, however, who do not oppose that.

01:09:30.000 And it began, finally know about Stu and his wife.

01:09:34.780 Oh, wait, I didn't even say that.

01:09:35.880 Yeah, people to hang out with.

01:09:37.360 So it was just great.

01:09:38.220 They went back and forth, of course.

01:09:39.840 And I know my, my, my advice on these, in these situations is realize they're meaningless.

01:09:45.100 Yeah.

01:09:45.640 Realize, you know, someone, one of the, one of the people on her little feed there had gone to the march and was obviously a hardcore liberal.

01:09:54.300 And I'm like, you're not going to change, you're not going to change any minds.

01:09:57.320 You're just going to wind up getting pissed off and screaming at each other.

01:09:59.820 And it wrecks your day.

01:10:00.740 And it wrecks your day.

01:10:01.300 But, you know, in the world that we live in, luckily, these things do not wreck our day.

01:10:06.600 And I feel very confident in just blowing them off.

01:10:09.640 But one of the people, one of the, I guess, women who went to the rally wrote something to the effect of like, first of all, it was this long diatribe about if you let the government into your business, they, what do you, what's next?

01:10:24.800 Where are they going to go from there?

01:10:26.520 If you let them do stuff with your body, we're going to go from there.

01:10:29.280 It's like, are you nice to say you found limited government in this one issue, right?

01:10:33.580 You, you can do anything else you want.

01:10:35.700 The federal government has controlled your entire life.

01:10:37.960 But this one issue when it involves another person is, is, is off limits, which is always entertaining.

01:10:44.100 But she writes something to the effect of, you know, I am not going to let, first of all, Planned Parenthood does a lot of good things.

01:10:52.360 And I am not going to let some old, white, pervy congressman tell me what to do with my body.

01:10:59.420 Now, just in that, in that two sentence period, the amount of idiocy contained is, it's almost incomprehensible.

01:11:08.060 It's mind boggling.

01:11:08.480 First of all, if Planned Parenthood, they may do very, very well, may do many things that are positive.

01:11:13.700 In fact, if they, and this is how you know it, if they stopped doing abortions, no one would protest them.

01:11:17.840 No one would care that they existed.

01:11:19.160 If they stopped doing abortions and only did cancer screenings, there wouldn't be one person on earth who opposed them. 0.75

01:11:24.860 Nobody.

01:11:25.900 Everyone would be completely fine.

01:11:27.920 It's this one issue.

01:11:30.200 Well, you don't want people to tell you about your body.

01:11:34.140 Well, you know what?

01:11:35.080 Let's go to this point.

01:11:36.320 Now, we all would agree that a tumor is a bunch of meaningless cells that we don't care about.

01:11:45.620 There's no life there.

01:11:46.580 We don't care about it.

01:11:48.020 Have you ever seen a conservative oppose removing a tumor?

01:11:53.200 Have you ever seen a conservative oppose removing a lump of cells that is benign?

01:12:00.840 No, because they don't care.

01:12:02.500 It's not about your body.

01:12:03.820 It's about the other person, and that is a vital thing that we care about.

01:12:09.440 We care about the other person.

01:12:11.800 And then finally, I loved how it was old, white, pervy congressmen. 0.51

01:12:17.380 Right.

01:12:17.620 First of all, pervy.

01:12:18.740 They're pervy because why?

01:12:20.200 They care about an issue that relates to children being born?

01:12:23.760 Well, is that a perverted thing?

01:12:26.700 Are you saying it's perverted because they're old men who care about a women's issue, which every Democrat does that you praise?

01:12:35.060 And if it's a black perv, is it okay? 1.00

01:12:37.160 And that's the last part.

01:12:38.000 What the hell does a person's race have to do with it?

01:12:40.220 You're making racially based decisions on this issue?

01:12:43.660 Why?

01:12:44.740 What does that have to do with anything?

01:12:46.760 And it's like, these things are so inherently pathetic.

01:12:50.540 Oh, and by the way, then they went on to the 97% thing on abortion with Planned Parenthood.

01:12:55.440 Oh, it's only 3% of their business.

01:12:59.300 No, it's not.

01:13:00.940 And we've debunked that stat many, many times.

01:13:03.540 Again, how can you use the stat if you don't know the context?

01:13:06.320 If it's 3% of your business, then get out of it.

01:13:08.260 Right.

01:13:08.420 Well, first of all, it's not 3% of their business.

01:13:10.460 For example, if every single person went to Planned Parenthood, if you don't know this stat,

01:13:14.200 if every single person went to Planned Parenthood, and the first thing they said walking in the door was,

01:13:18.520 I would like an abortion, please do it for me. 0.98

01:13:20.960 They would do multiple tests on each person.

01:13:22.940 And Planned Parenthood, because they're trying to lie to stupid people who will quote it on Facebook,

01:13:28.000 count each individual thing like a blood test or a STD test or a consultation as an individual procedure.

01:13:37.260 So if every person walked into Planned Parenthood and said, I want an abortion today, 1.00

01:13:44.140 they would say only 20% of our procedures are abortions.

01:13:49.720 All right.

01:13:50.640 Now this.

01:13:51.740 But I mean that.

01:13:52.900 I got it.

01:13:54.360 I got it.

01:13:55.620 You don't like Planned Parenthood and your wife is some rabid anti-abortion person. 1.00

01:14:00.500 What was happening in that break?

01:14:01.800 You were under the couch for half of it?

01:14:03.400 I couldn't take you anymore.

01:14:04.960 I couldn't take you anymore.

01:14:06.000 All right.

01:14:07.380 Now this.

01:14:07.780 So he was trying to crawl under the couch?

01:14:09.120 I want to tell you.

01:14:09.440 I want to tell you.

01:14:12.940 Looking for his old man glasses.

01:14:14.840 I want to talk to you about digital wallets, virtual currencies, money transfer apps.

01:14:20.620 There's new technology every day that is eliminating the need for cash payments.

01:14:24.820 And now the Nobel Prize winning economist in Davos has said that moving to the digital economy

01:14:31.200 will have benefits that outweigh the cost.

01:14:34.040 And the United States needs to be a cashless society.

01:14:37.740 That's the only way it means anything anymore.

01:14:43.260 Now there are some potential positive outcomes of going with the digital economy.

01:14:48.660 A cashless society could give government the access to information and power that they need.

01:14:53.900 Wait.

01:14:55.820 Have you considered putting 10% of your portfolio into gold?

01:15:01.160 The only company that I recommend is Goldline.

01:15:38.740 Well, we are having a debate here on whether or not this is the coldest the soundstage has ever been,

01:15:46.140 and I don't think it has been.

01:15:47.420 Oh, today?

01:15:47.920 No way.

01:15:48.440 Yeah.

01:15:48.840 It's 60.7 degrees on stage 19 today.

01:15:53.120 It's almost 61 degrees.

01:15:54.300 That picture is taken its warmer.

01:15:55.620 It was like 8 degrees the other day.

01:15:58.280 Yeah, I think it's been in the 50s.

01:16:00.020 For sure.

01:16:00.420 It has been.

01:16:01.000 For sure it has.

01:16:01.660 Yeah.

01:16:02.020 Yeah.

01:16:02.620 Good.

01:16:04.200 Good.

01:16:04.600 Well, we know with the, you know, with the whale blubber, you've got plenty of insulation there.

01:16:13.220 We all have tasks that we kind of bail on in our lives, but Jeffy has figured,

01:16:17.640 I want to be warm for my entire life, so I'm going to dedicate myself to eating more calories than I can burn in a day.

01:16:22.580 We have a polar bear.

01:16:24.620 Multiple decades.

01:16:25.180 We have a polar bear on set with us.

01:16:27.520 Literally a polar bear.

01:16:29.240 They have four inches of fat all the way around them.

01:16:32.600 Yeah.

01:16:32.700 Jeffy, go stand next to the polar bear.

01:16:36.020 That's funny.

01:16:36.820 Seriously.

01:16:37.520 I'm just saying.

01:16:38.440 We're out of time.

01:16:40.660 Back in a minute.

01:17:18.300 Income inequality.

01:17:21.280 Equal is unfair. 0.99

01:17:24.700 Quite a charge to make in today's America.

01:17:27.960 We begin there right now.

01:17:29.820 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:17:51.500 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:17:57.660 Yaron Brook, friend of ours and the head of the Ayn Rand Society here in America.

01:18:04.940 Welcome to the program.

01:18:06.080 He's got a book called Equal is Unfair.

01:18:07.920 He was here a couple of weeks ago and I said, my fault.

01:18:10.680 I'm sorry.

01:18:11.060 I didn't even know you had a book out.

01:18:12.180 Come back and talk about the book.

01:18:13.340 So we want to talk about it because it is really an important thing because people, we're now talking about a universal minimum living wage.

01:18:24.540 Giving everybody, you know, a stipend to live on.

01:18:29.360 And I want to talk about that.

01:18:30.320 I also want to talk because you just got back from Europe.

01:18:32.760 Yep.

01:18:32.940 And there is something happening in Europe.

01:18:35.980 It's Eastern Europe.

01:18:37.360 But they are more free market than probably anybody in the world right now.

01:18:41.820 Well, what I'm finding is places in the world that have experienced communism, have experienced some form of fascism, and are still poor and are repressed.

01:18:52.260 The young people are rising up.

01:18:55.020 They want something different.

01:18:56.840 They want something new.

01:18:58.540 They're willing to be radical.

01:19:00.620 They're willing to consider new ideas.

01:19:02.940 Whereas you find that in Western Europe and even in the United States, young people, as long as the new iPhone comes out on time, right, life is good.

01:19:12.260 Why challenge oneself?

01:19:14.140 Why push oneself?

01:19:15.400 Why be radical and upset a lot of people when life is comfortable?

01:19:19.760 So Brazil is fascinating.

01:19:22.660 Thousands of kids out in the streets demonstrating for freedom.

01:19:27.220 For freedom.

01:19:27.920 Like real freedom?

01:19:29.100 Like real freedom.

01:19:29.760 And I'm not saying all of them get it.

01:19:31.380 But more of them get it than I think as a percentage than anything we see in the West.

01:19:37.340 Again, Brazil, they've lived under all these different regimes.

01:19:40.940 They were promised that they would be middle class.

01:19:43.420 You remember the BRICS?

01:19:44.360 BRICS were going to take over the world. 1.00

01:19:45.800 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:19:46.400 Brazil, Russia, China, India.

01:19:49.040 It hasn't happened, which is no surprise, really.

01:19:51.800 But it hasn't happened.

01:19:52.700 It's because everything is so corrupt.

01:19:55.980 Yeah, they're poor.

01:19:57.420 They want to be middle class.

01:19:58.700 They want to be rich.

01:19:59.620 And they're saying nothing we've been promised is happening.

01:20:03.800 And they're willing to look at ideas that I think Americans and others have forgotten, take for granted, ignore, because they want to be mainstream.

01:20:13.940 They want to be cool.

01:20:14.960 They want to be part of the they want to be they want to be what their professors want them to be.

01:20:19.620 Can I because you're probably one of the guys, one of the few in the world that we can actually talk to about this, who has probably thought this through.

01:20:27.520 You know, we're looking at a disruption of about 50 percent of all jobs in the next 20 to 30 years.

01:20:35.480 Technology is going to disrupt absolutely everything.

01:20:37.760 So there so the amount of unemployment is going to be outrageous.

01:20:43.320 And I shouldn't say that the amount of displacement is going to be outrageous, not necessarily unemployment.

01:20:49.960 Yeah.

01:20:51.500 And people are thinking now, and I think all governments need to think, what do you do in this period of great change so you don't have revolution in the street?

01:21:02.280 Now, one of the solutions is this minimum living wage.

01:21:08.000 This is the easy solution, and this is a government solution.

01:21:10.620 I would say the last people in the world you want thinking about this problem is anybody in government.

01:21:16.560 This is not a government problem.

01:21:18.900 I strongly believe in a separation of state from economics.

01:21:22.880 If I had the opportunity to rewrite the Constitution, if I could be that arrogant, I would include a separation of state from economics.

01:21:31.160 They have no business, and it's central planning cannot solve this issue.

01:21:35.200 The market will solve it.

01:21:37.140 How?

01:21:38.780 I don't know.

01:21:40.460 I mean, we have today tens of millions, globally hundreds of millions of jobs that 50 years ago you could not have imagined would exist.

01:21:50.640 So do you think if we had a separation of education and state, we probably would be safer than we are now?

01:21:58.600 Well, I have four separations that I would put into the Constitution.

01:22:03.540 Separation of state from ideas.

01:22:05.440 I don't think government should be in the business of ideas.

01:22:07.620 Religion is one set of ideas I think it should be separate. 0.72

01:22:10.760 But I think generally the government is there to protect our rights, period.

01:22:16.120 Full stop.

01:22:16.780 That's it.

01:22:17.220 But if you want to be a communist under a free society, that's okay.

01:22:22.180 Get your friends together.

01:22:23.560 Go start a commune.

01:22:24.920 Be pathetic and miserable in that commune.

01:22:27.240 To each according to his, from each according to his ability, to each according to his means.

01:22:31.180 As long as you're not imposing it on people, you can do your own thing in a free society.

01:22:35.900 That's the beauty of freedom.

01:22:39.000 Separation of state from economics.

01:22:40.580 The government has no economic policy.

01:22:42.600 There shouldn't be a Treasury Department in a sense that there is today, economic advisors.

01:22:47.480 Central planning doesn't work.

01:22:49.000 It doesn't work big.

01:22:50.260 It doesn't work small.

01:22:51.600 It just doesn't work.

01:22:52.820 And it's immoral.

01:22:53.900 It's wrong for the government to impose their values on us as individuals.

01:22:58.760 So it's morally offensive and it's economically stupid.

01:23:01.480 Separation of state from education.

01:23:04.400 State has no role in education.

01:23:06.380 And the reason our educational system is breaking down is as corrupt and as awful as it is, particularly in the inner cities.

01:23:14.320 Particularly for poor people.

01:23:16.640 Everybody's always concerned when I say privatize education.

01:23:18.820 What will happen with poor kids?

01:23:20.420 Well, it can't be worse than it is today with these poor kids.

01:23:24.120 Right?

01:23:24.320 Think about the educational quality they're getting from our public educational system.

01:23:27.840 So I'd like to privatize the whole system and get the government out of it.

01:23:32.120 There's one of my disagreements with Thomas Jefferson is over the University of Virginia and the idea that the state should be involved in education.

01:23:38.420 And the fourth is separation of state from science.

01:23:41.860 Let's get the state out of science so that we can have scientists, unincentivized by government grants and politics and all of that, decide about global warming, about stem cells.

01:23:55.340 Left and right.

01:23:56.280 But when government intervenes in science, it corrupts the science.

01:23:59.840 Isn't it, does it amaze you that the scientists don't realize that the government, which is not controlled by religion this time, is doing the same thing that they were doing to the scientists when it was controlled by religion?

01:24:14.120 I think the scientists, to some extent, recognize that.

01:24:17.760 But what option do they have?

01:24:19.080 If you're dependent, as our scientific world has evolved to a position where if you're not getting grants from the government, how are you going to continue doing the science or some of the science you want to do?

01:24:31.140 Now, some people have integrity, but the fact is most people just go with the flow.

01:24:35.920 And if the governor's giving them money to do X, they're going to do X.

01:24:38.980 And if you do a government study, and at the end of the government study, you discover that everything is great.

01:24:47.160 Life's good.

01:24:48.260 There's no problems.

01:24:50.060 Nobody's going to renew your grant.

01:24:51.660 Nobody wants to hear that.

01:24:52.740 But if you say, the end of the world might be near, I'm not sure, I'm not convinced, but there's a possibility that we are heading towards a catastrophe.

01:25:03.880 I need to study this further.

01:25:05.720 Guess what?

01:25:06.180 You're going to get tons of more money flowing your way, particularly if the end of the world is being caused by something like industry, progress, capitalism,

01:25:14.520 which certain people in the intelligentsia and in government would like to believe are the cause of all our problems.

01:25:21.980 How do you get the youth away from the word progressives and progress when progressivism is the exact opposite of progress?

01:25:31.940 Well, the left has been very clever about this.

01:25:35.000 I mean, they have managed to take words, take concepts, and adapt them to their use and pervert them.

01:25:44.680 Liberal used to mean free market, free thinking.

01:25:49.620 Classic liberalism.

01:25:50.580 Classic liberalism.

01:25:51.740 To some extent, when you go to a place like Georgia, Ukraine, and so on, and you talk about liberal ideas, they understand it to me in Eastern Europe and in the West to some extent as pro-capitalist ideas, pro-freedom ideas.

01:26:04.100 So they've done that to the word liberal.

01:26:05.580 They've done it to the word progressive.

01:26:07.100 These are anti-progress ideas.

01:26:08.940 And, you know, part of it is, you know, and the same is true on the other side, right?

01:26:16.760 Are we really, does anybody really want to be a conservative?

01:26:19.580 What are we conserving?

01:26:21.760 Aren't we really, those of us who believe in free markets and freedom, we're the real progressives and liberals.

01:26:27.400 We're not trying to conserve.

01:26:28.560 We're trying to push forward.

01:26:29.560 We're trying to grow and develop.

01:26:31.680 You know, the person who named us conservatives, do you know where that came from?

01:26:36.180 No, no, no.

01:26:36.980 FDR.

01:26:37.640 FDR.

01:26:38.140 FDR was the one who said, this group of people, they are conservatives and they're trying to conserve these ideas and it won't work.

01:26:45.940 And we just embraced it.

01:26:47.360 We just allowed him to label us.

01:26:49.540 Well, partially it comes from way back when really the French Revolution, where, you know, the French Revolution was deemed to be the progressives, the, you know, where the real action was.

01:27:03.080 This was the good guys.

01:27:04.460 And the British, looking at that, said, oh, wait a minute.

01:27:08.340 That's a bad idea.

01:27:09.620 We need to conserve our institutions.

01:27:12.420 Sure, sure.

01:27:12.960 So the conservative movement really starts in England as a rebellion against, in a sense, the French Revolution.

01:27:17.820 And nobody saw, and this is one of the great tragedies of history, nobody saw that there was a third alternative that was a revolution, but not the French Revolution.

01:27:28.580 And that was the American Revolution, the real revolution, because everybody was so Europe-centric that they viewed anything that happened in Europe as important.

01:27:39.040 And what happened to those 13 colonies, that's the margin.

01:27:43.060 That's not a significance.

01:27:44.580 So the American Revolution was what is really meaningful historically.

01:27:50.480 The French Revolution is a footnote at the end of the day.

01:27:53.100 It's America that moved the world forward, that progressed us.

01:27:56.820 So do you see, we're talking to Yaron Brook.

01:27:58.900 He is, or Yaron Brook, he is the author of Equal is Unfair, America's Misguided Fight Against Income Income Inquality.

01:28:05.920 Do you see, with the fight over facts today, the war with the media, the war with the White House, the war against left and right, I mean, it's getting insane.

01:28:19.720 We're all living in a movie that none of us would believe if we were sitting around the script writing table.

01:28:26.240 We would all say, nobody's going to buy this movie.

01:28:30.580 Do you see enough people saying, kind of like we are, I'm just tired of all the labels, I'm tired of all of it.

01:28:39.140 None of this stuff works.

01:28:41.600 I want to find reason and find the way out through this.

01:28:48.120 You know, I can't be optimistic here.

01:28:50.600 No, I'm not seeing enough people do this.

01:28:52.600 I mean, I don't consider myself right or left anymore.

01:28:56.240 You know, I'm done with those labels because they've so perverted, so distorted, they're meaningless.

01:29:00.480 I don't know, you know, I view everything in a sense and in terms of what America is, what it represents, and what is going on today.

01:29:11.480 So I believe America is individualism.

01:29:14.000 That's the essential characteristic of what America is.

01:29:16.820 The American Revolution is about the individual first, placing the individual at the core. 0.87

01:29:22.960 Everything's about protecting that individual and his freedom.

01:29:25.840 Everybody today on the political map, everybody on the political map, is a collectivist of one sort or another.

01:29:31.960 On the right, they're collectivists.

01:29:33.480 On the left, they're collectivists.

01:29:35.320 America first is an awful slogan.

01:29:38.160 I couldn't vote for John McCain when he came out of the Republican Convention with the term country first.

01:29:43.840 It's not about country.

01:29:45.200 It's not about America as a geographic place.

01:29:48.760 It's about the idea.

01:29:49.760 It's about the idea, but the idea is the individual first.

01:29:53.120 The state is there.

01:29:54.240 The only purpose of the American state, and should be the only purpose of every state, is to protect us.

01:30:01.040 It's a policeman.

01:30:02.380 It is a judge when there are disputes between us and a policeman and a military.

01:30:07.140 And other than that, it's supposed to leave us alone to live our lives as we see fit.

01:30:12.180 That's what the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness means.

01:30:14.960 It means you have the freedom to act in pursuit of the values necessary for your life, free of coercion.

01:30:22.280 And the government's there to protect you from people who would coerce you.

01:30:25.760 And, of course, the biggest violator, as the founders knew and warned us, the biggest violator is government.

01:30:32.100 And today, the left and right, they want to violate our rights.

01:30:36.080 Let me take a quick break here.

01:33:33.820 This is the intellectuals in America trying to make us like Europe.

01:33:37.820 And I believe that.

01:33:38.800 You know, think about America.

01:33:40.620 America was founded in the idea that all men are created equal, right?

01:33:43.340 It's in our Declaration of Independence.

01:33:44.620 Right, right.

01:33:45.020 But what did the founders mean?

01:33:47.280 The founders knew they were all different.

01:33:50.060 We're all unequal.

01:33:51.240 In a fundamental metaphysical sense, we are unequal.

01:33:54.900 If you put us out there and you free us, we're all going to have unequal results.

01:33:58.980 So what did they mean when they said all men are created equal?

01:34:01.400 They meant we're all equally free.

01:34:03.920 We all equally have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

01:34:08.080 We all have equality before the law.

01:34:11.060 The law, the government, should not treat us differently.

01:34:14.280 It should treat us all the same.

01:34:15.400 But once you free us up, we are all going to produce different amounts.

01:34:21.960 We're all going to do different things with our lives.

01:34:24.180 We're all going to, you know, express who we are.

01:34:27.720 And we're all genetically different, environmentally different.

01:34:30.340 And you know what?

01:34:30.780 We make different choices in our lives because free will does exist.

01:34:33.700 And we choose different things.

01:34:36.920 So in my view, inequality of outcome is a feature of freedom.

01:34:43.260 It's not a bug.

01:34:44.860 It's not a distortion.

01:34:46.280 It's a feature.

01:34:47.060 It's part of what freedom is about.

01:34:48.820 Because freedom allows us to express who we are and what we are.

01:34:52.220 And we're all different.

01:34:53.380 And isn't that beautiful?

01:34:54.980 Isn't that amazing that we're all different?

01:34:56.720 Well, but that's good for you to say who's successful.

01:34:59.640 I mean, you know, what about those people who are going to be, you know, hungry and won't

01:35:03.800 be able to make it?

01:35:04.640 Well, this is the thing about freedom, is that under freedom, those people have a chance

01:35:10.080 not to be hungry anymore.

01:35:11.800 Under freedom, those people have a chance to get a job and to rise up to whatever level

01:35:16.140 they can.

01:35:16.820 And some of them won't.

01:35:17.780 You know, I'm never going to be super rich.

01:35:19.500 And some people will never be as wealthy as I am.

01:35:22.760 That's just reality, right?

01:35:24.600 But the beauty is that under freedom, they can rise and they can live a good life.

01:35:29.160 And all of history of capitalism and freedom shows that, that the poor do very well when

01:35:34.220 they are free.

01:35:35.300 What is the alternative?

01:35:36.860 The alternative is no freedom.

01:35:38.800 Where all of us are poor, yes, there's equality, but equality of poverty.

01:35:43.140 250 years ago, people don't know this because they don't study history.

01:35:46.640 250 years ago, all of us were poor.

01:35:49.940 People blame the Industrial Revolution for child labor.

01:35:52.660 Well, what were children doing before the Industrial Revolution?

01:35:55.520 They were dying and working.

01:35:58.560 But 50% of kids didn't make it to age 10.

01:36:01.600 And those that did make it to age 10 kept on working on the farm.

01:36:04.800 And life expectancy generally was 39.

01:36:07.120 All of us in this room, with exception maybe of Stu, would be dead by now.

01:36:10.720 No, Stu would be dead too.

01:36:11.900 Okay, Stu would be dead.

01:36:12.740 He just looks you.

01:36:13.480 He looks you.

01:36:13.980 People have no concept of what life before the Industrial Revolution, before capitalism,

01:36:21.140 before freedom, before America.

01:36:23.000 I know, but now think about how great it will be after America.

01:36:27.200 Yes, after America, we all revert back to what it was. 0.96

01:36:30.880 Because, look, as late as the 1960s, in China, because of communism, because of an attempt

01:36:38.680 to make us all equal in outcome, somewhere between 40 to 60 million people died of starvation.

01:36:46.700 In one of the most fertile countries in the world, they died of starvation.

01:36:51.660 That's what equality of outcome means.

01:36:55.060 Now, no American intellectual is going to say that's what they actually want.

01:36:58.960 Oh, no, we don't believe in complete equality.

01:37:00.800 We just believe in more equality than we have now.

01:37:02.940 And I always ask them, give me a number.

01:37:05.060 How much is the right number?

01:37:06.260 Yeah, they can't.

01:37:06.880 And they can't.

01:37:07.620 Oh, we'll decide when we get there.

01:37:09.120 That's what democracy is about.

01:37:10.540 No, the whole point is you don't get to decide whether I pursue a financial career and make

01:37:16.640 a lot of money or go and become a teacher and not make a lot of money.

01:37:19.860 That's my decision.

01:37:20.980 And you know what?

01:37:21.480 But many of us choose not to make a lot of money because life, in spite of what the

01:37:25.680 left says, is not only about money.

01:37:28.140 It's about the pursuit of happiness.

01:37:30.040 It's about the pursuit of flourishing, of human fulfillment.

01:37:33.140 Sometimes that involves money.

01:37:34.440 It certainly involves a certain amount of money.

01:37:36.620 But it's not just about money.

01:37:38.200 So leave people free to make decisions about how far they want to go in life financially,

01:37:44.360 in terms of other things.

01:37:45.520 And the poor, again, the poor, the people who get a bad education, and some people, no

01:37:52.320 fault of their own, are going to be, you know, it's going to be hard for them.

01:37:56.900 They're going to do better on their free system than any other system possible.

01:38:00.540 Equal is Unfair is the name of the book by Yaron Brook and Don Watkins.

01:38:06.680 Yaron is joining us.

01:38:08.840 The argument that you have to make and the best argument to win this case of freedom coming up.

01:38:16.880 If there were any bookstores left or people actually went to bookstores, I would say go to the

01:38:34.300 bookstore today and grab Equal is Unfair.

01:38:36.460 It's available everywhere, Amazon and the few remaining bookstores.

01:38:41.140 Yaron Brook is here with us.

01:38:42.660 He's from the Ayn Rand Institute, and it's his book about the fight against inequality.

01:38:49.420 Yaron, one of the things that drives me out of my mind when it comes to this discussion

01:38:54.640 is when they talk about how disparate the incomes are from like a Bill Gates to the average person,

01:39:04.560 who cares?

01:39:05.540 How does it hurt me that Bill Gates is worth $72 billion and I'm not?

01:39:10.280 It's worse than that.

01:39:11.220 It's worse than that.

01:39:11.920 The fact that Bill Gates is worth the $72 billion or that any billionaire is worth what

01:39:16.340 he's worth means that they have produced value.

01:39:19.540 The only way to get rich in a free market, now granted, there are cronies out there,

01:39:24.240 the people who didn't get rich this way, but in a free market, the only way to get rich in

01:39:27.780 a free market is to make our lives better.

01:39:30.060 When I see a billionaire, I want to go rush up to them and thank them because in some way,

01:39:34.000 whether I know the exact connection or not, they have made my life better.

01:39:37.440 Every time I buy a Microsoft product for $100, it's worth more than $100 to me.

01:39:42.480 That's why I'm willing to give it up.

01:39:43.940 So my life is a little bit better for giving up the $100 and getting the Microsoft.

01:39:47.820 Billions of people have made that exchange.

01:39:49.700 That means billions of people's lives are better off.

01:39:52.800 Now, does Bill Gates get any moral credit for making the world a better place?

01:39:57.100 No.

01:39:57.500 Well, why?

01:39:58.180 Because he dared to profit from it.

01:40:00.420 We have this notion, this moral notion, that if you benefit from the actions that you engage

01:40:06.160 in, it is morally offensive.

01:40:08.840 But when does Bill Gates become a good guy?

01:40:11.040 When he leaves Microsoft and starts a foundation.

01:40:13.240 He has to leave Microsoft because as long as he's making money, it's tainted.

01:40:17.340 Yeah.

01:40:17.660 But giving money away, that's good.

01:40:20.000 That's noble.

01:40:20.500 Now, I have nothing against charity and philanthropy.

01:40:23.760 Good things for good causes.

01:40:25.560 If you believe in them, that's wonderful.

01:40:26.820 But that doesn't change the world.

01:40:28.880 What changes the world, what actually changes the world is business.

01:40:32.380 Is Microsoft.

01:40:33.440 Microsoft changed the world.

01:40:35.320 It did.

01:40:35.740 Google is changing the world.

01:40:37.600 Absolutely.

01:40:38.000 I will tell you, I think in some ways that a well-run, smart business is in default the

01:40:47.480 best charity out there because they care.

01:40:50.600 If you're really going to be successful, I'm going to find out everything I can about you

01:40:55.640 and figure out the way to make your life better.

01:40:58.600 Absolutely.

01:40:59.100 That's every single successful business makes a lot of people's lives better.

01:41:04.260 Otherwise, they couldn't be successful.

01:41:06.680 But let's go back to America.

01:41:08.860 250 years ago, we were all poor.

01:41:10.620 Everybody was poor.

01:41:11.780 Today, or by 1914, America was the mightiest economic power in the world.

01:41:17.240 Third-rate colony, the mightiest economic power in the world.

01:41:20.300 How did that happen?

01:41:21.580 Not because of charity.

01:41:22.880 Not because of community service.

01:41:24.600 As good as those things might be under the right circumstances.

01:41:27.760 No.

01:41:28.480 All of that happened because of businessmen.

01:41:31.560 Because of wealth creation.

01:41:33.000 Because of the people we now call robber barons.

01:41:35.260 But how do you stop, for instance, you do get to a point, and this is to Tocqueville, you

01:41:42.300 get to a point where some, not all, some will become so powerful that they will start using

01:41:48.660 the government, like Google.

01:41:50.860 Yeah.

01:41:51.100 You know, the difference between Google, or no, Apple and Microsoft, is Apple started right

01:41:58.560 away with Washington, and Google, I think, it was Google, and Bill Gates said, my biggest

01:42:06.120 mistake was, I didn't think we needed Washington.

01:42:08.420 He literally said, you stay out of our business, we'll stay out of your business, and walked

01:42:13.200 out of a congressional hearing where, Armin Hatch, of all people, was lamb blasting them

01:42:19.120 for not being more involved in lobbying.

01:42:22.140 Look, this goes back to my separations.

01:42:25.140 If you get government out of the business of business, then there's no reason for me

01:42:30.640 to lobby.

01:42:31.400 There's no reason for me to bribe congressmen and senators and the president if they have

01:42:35.440 nothing to give me.

01:42:36.460 If they have no power over me, then we don't lobby.

01:42:40.480 Unfortunately, even in the beginning of the United States, there was room where the government

01:42:45.100 intervened, even the railroads, right?

01:42:47.200 The government took the land, and the government invested and did all these things.

01:42:50.400 But if you actually had a strong separation of state from economics, the powerful financially

01:42:56.980 would not be engaged in politics because politicians would have nothing to give them.

01:43:01.880 And we have to differentiate between political power and economic power.

01:43:05.120 Fundamental difference.

01:43:06.420 Political power is about force.

01:43:08.220 Political power is about coercion.

01:43:09.920 The essence of government, as George Washington said, I think, in his second inaugural, the essence

01:43:14.980 of government is a gun.

01:43:15.640 The essence of business is a trade.

01:43:19.620 You have to benefit, otherwise you're not going to engage in.

01:43:22.300 When I hire somebody, their time has to be worth less than what I'm paying them, otherwise

01:43:26.940 they wouldn't come to work.

01:43:28.360 And I pay them a little bit less than what they make for me because I have to make a profit

01:43:32.160 over every single one of my employees, right?

01:43:34.640 Otherwise, I can't stay in business.

01:43:36.760 Essence of business is trade.

01:43:38.660 Win-win.

01:43:39.560 Win-win.

01:43:40.160 This is something, unfortunately, this administration, or at least the president, doesn't seem to

01:43:44.020 understand, trade is a win-win, whether it's done with foreigners or whether it's done 0.99

01:43:48.480 with locals.

01:43:49.440 All trade is win-win, otherwise you wouldn't engage in it.

01:43:52.420 So we have to get away from the zero-sum, right?

01:43:55.300 The zero-sum idea that Bill Gates and $72 billion came out of my pocket.

01:43:59.400 I wish I'd had $72 billion to give to Bill Gates.

01:44:03.040 But, you know, no, he created it, and this is the thing that's hard for people, out of

01:44:08.020 nothing.

01:44:08.620 Yeah, wealth is not a pie.

01:44:10.240 There's not just one pie.

01:44:11.300 If I get a really big piece of pie, you can have less.

01:44:14.000 This is wrong in so many dimensions, right?

01:44:16.360 So many dimensions.

01:44:17.160 One, the pie is growing all the time, in a sense, because wealth is created.

01:44:22.560 It's not just there.

01:44:23.380 But more importantly, there is no pie.

01:44:26.580 There is no...

01:44:27.040 Wealth is not collective.

01:44:28.760 There is no American wealth.

01:44:31.280 There's your pie, and your pie, and my pie.

01:44:33.480 We each bake our own pie.

01:44:34.860 And you don't have a right to my pie.

01:44:36.920 You don't get to decide how much of my pie I get to keep.

01:44:39.740 I get to decide how much of my pie I get to eat.

01:44:42.760 And if I want to share some pie with my friends, or my family, or even with strangers, that's

01:44:47.200 my business, not your business.

01:44:48.580 But there's people who don't have any pie.

01:44:50.280 That's right.

01:44:50.860 And they can come and ask me for my pie.

01:44:52.900 What they don't have a right to do, even those who don't have any pie, is pull out a 0.99

01:44:56.480 gun and take my pie from me. 1.00

01:44:57.880 We understand that on one-on-one relationships, that's called theft.

01:45:00.460 They don't pull out a gun.

01:45:01.180 I'm not talking about pulling out a gun.

01:45:03.400 I'm going to go vote some people.

01:45:05.360 Exactly.

01:45:05.640 So we take theft, which we all know is wrong, and by voting for it, we legitimize it.

01:45:13.520 So we have taken things that we understand, as all human beings understand, that stealing

01:45:18.360 is wrong, and somehow through democracy, because we voted for it, we make it okay.

01:45:24.640 But it still is evil when we vote for it, as it is when it's one-on-one.

01:45:27.760 Here's the thing that people don't understand.

01:45:30.260 You cannot assign a right to the government that you don't have.

01:45:35.640 All rights come to us from God, and then we lend a few of them to the government to protect

01:45:41.160 those rights.

01:45:41.900 But I don't have a government, I don't have a right to come over and take any percentage

01:45:46.480 of your money.

01:45:47.460 And no matter how many people I get into the room to vote on it, that we're going to go

01:45:51.680 in and take a portion of your money.

01:45:53.060 We have no right to do that.

01:45:55.220 Absolutely.

01:45:55.520 So we can't assign that right to a government to do that.

01:45:59.460 Absolutely.

01:46:00.140 And we're going to disagree on where rights come from, and that's okay.

01:46:03.320 I believe it's...

01:46:04.020 I figured from the Ayn Rand...

01:46:05.720 Yes, no.

01:46:06.480 Glenn knows.

01:46:07.300 So we're good.

01:46:08.420 By the time we get to that, we've solved 90% of the world's problems.

01:46:13.720 If we can agree to stay out of each other's business in terms of physical force, then

01:46:18.960 now we can argue about ideas, and that's fine.

01:46:21.920 Disagreeing about ideas.

01:46:22.740 But when we use it as authority, as a means.

01:46:27.320 But yes, all we have done is we institute government for one purpose and one purpose

01:46:33.600 only.

01:46:34.300 And that is to assign the government the right to defend us.

01:46:38.680 So we've, in a sense, given them the ability to be a monopoly over the use of retaliatory

01:46:43.440 force.

01:46:44.140 They can't initiate force, but they are my agent.

01:46:47.140 Just an agent.

01:46:47.940 Nothing more than an agent in self-defense.

01:46:51.440 I should usually chase after the robber and shoot them down.

01:46:55.680 I said, you know what?

01:46:57.160 That is anarchy, and it's very dangerous, and it lacks objectivity.

01:47:01.480 We need an agency to do that.

01:47:03.800 And that's the role of government, is to do the self-defense for me.

01:47:07.800 You know, other than an emergency, I would shoot the thief on the spot.

01:47:11.220 But if they got away, that's the job of the government, to step in and bring an objective

01:47:15.760 perspective to the issue of criminal law, for example.

01:47:19.180 I just watched The Magnificent Seven, the new Magnificent Seven.

01:47:23.480 Yeah, I saw that.

01:47:23.920 And I thought to myself, this is the job of government.

01:47:29.200 Nobody in that town could just be a farmer, could be a business person, could run the

01:47:34.360 saloon, could live their life, because the government wasn't strong enough or wasn't

01:47:39.520 there to protect what they had as individuals.

01:47:44.080 Notice the difference between this Magnificent Seven and the old Magnificent Seven.

01:47:47.480 Very telling.

01:47:48.480 Very, very telling.

01:47:49.320 And the original, which is the Seven Samurais by Corsella.

01:47:52.200 In the original Magnificent Seven, the villains are thieves who roam around and steal from

01:47:58.620 the villagers.

01:48:00.060 And it's in Mexico.

01:48:01.540 It's not in the United States.

01:48:03.180 Basically, it's anarchy and they have nobody to defend themselves.

01:48:06.860 The modern Magnificent Seven is set in the United States, in California.

01:48:13.140 The villain is a businessman who has connections with the government in Sacramento.

01:48:17.480 Remember, he keeps going to Sacramento.

01:48:18.640 I mean, the political agenda of shifting that, right?

01:48:23.380 It was a heroic story of people standing up to crooks because bad guys, right?

01:48:29.120 Now, you know, this is businessman.

01:48:32.700 And he's actually called in the movie, Robert Byron's, right?

01:48:37.560 He's a robber baron.

01:48:38.880 And that's supposed to give us a sweeping. 0.60

01:48:41.820 And it's in America, which is meaningful, right?

01:48:43.980 They had to place the original Magnificent Seven in Mexico because in America it would 0.84

01:48:48.000 be unconceivable.

01:48:49.240 Right.

01:48:49.700 That's right.

01:48:50.620 That loaning gangs would be robbing people, right?

01:48:52.820 In the 19th century, which we glorified. 0.91

01:48:55.340 But now, in our modern times, we want to vilify the 19th century.

01:48:58.580 We want to turn that era of relative freedom into the enemy.

01:49:03.600 And therefore, we have to place it in the 19th century.

01:49:05.900 And the cook is a businessman.

01:49:08.100 And you need these, you know, humanitarians to come together to save the town.

01:49:13.820 So in that sense, while I enjoyed certain aspects of the movie, it's sickening.

01:49:17.660 And it's an expression of the modern intellectual world.

01:49:21.560 Well, thank you.

01:49:22.060 Thanks for wrecking that movie for me.

01:49:23.760 Right.

01:49:24.440 Anytime, Glenn.

01:49:25.440 All right.

01:49:26.620 The name of the book is Equal is Unfair.

01:49:29.120 The pie, everything that we've talked about is in the book.

01:49:33.000 And it's important for you to be able to make these arguments.

01:49:36.760 Equal is Unfair by Yarnbrook, America's Misguided Fight Against Income Inequality.

01:49:42.440 Yarn, thank you for being on the program.

01:49:43.860 Always a pleasure.

01:49:44.480 All right.

01:49:44.620 Thank you.

01:49:45.560 All right.

01:49:46.200 Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

01:49:48.000 It is LifeLock.

01:49:49.520 Tax filing season is almost here.

01:49:51.840 Yarn, don't you feel charitable every tax, every April 15th?

01:49:55.040 Because I do.

01:49:55.920 I feel just like a philanthropist.

01:49:59.120 Tax identity theft is also around the corner.

01:50:02.080 Identity thieves have either stolen personal information on fraudulent tax returns that claim tax refunds,

01:50:09.160 and then they cash the refund check themselves.

01:50:13.200 They can also just take all of your information and steal from you as well.

01:50:18.620 LifeLock scans hundreds of millions of transactions every second.

01:50:22.680 And if they detect that your information is being used, they'll send you an alert right away.

01:50:26.720 If you do indeed have a problem, a U.S.-based agent will work to fix it.

01:50:31.200 Now, that's different than the free credit monitoring, which only alerts you when there's a change in your credit.

01:50:37.020 No one can identify or even monitor all transactions at all businesses, but LifeLock is the best identity theft protection available.

01:50:44.480 And memberships start at $9.99 a month plus the sales tax.

01:50:48.760 So go to LifeLock.com or call 1-800-440-4936.

01:50:52.660 Use the promo code BECK.

01:50:54.220 That'll give you the 10% discount on your LifeLock Ultimate Plus membership at 1-800-440-4936.

01:51:00.480 1-800-440-4936.

01:51:04.660 1-800-440-4936.

01:51:07.220 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:51:10.860 Mercury.

01:51:12.800 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:51:14.620 No, there was quite a bit.

01:51:15.400 Yeah.

01:51:15.800 He made up for it.

01:51:16.800 Yeah.

01:51:17.100 We're just talking.

01:51:19.000 I want to thank Yaron again for wrecking Magnificent Set, but I just saw that again the second time.

01:51:23.800 And I love that movie.

01:51:25.300 I like it, too.

01:51:26.380 You can still like it.

01:51:27.600 You just have to realize that that shows how much Hollywood hates America.

01:51:30.980 I never noticed that.

01:51:32.820 Never even noticed that.

01:51:33.580 I didn't think of it that way either.

01:51:35.120 But I was telling my son while we were watching the new movie, I kept saying, we've got to go back home and watch the original.

01:51:43.820 And one night we did.

01:51:45.180 Rafe loves the original.

01:51:46.420 We watched the original first.

01:51:48.040 And we started watching it, and it was too much for him.

01:51:50.580 He couldn't handle it.

01:51:51.520 Really?

01:51:52.280 Yeah.

01:51:52.700 But I remembered, oh, yeah, it's in Mexico the first time.

01:51:55.660 But I didn't really make that connection like you did.

01:52:00.000 It shows how deeply all this stuff is ingrained in the culture.

01:52:02.620 I mean, you know, Yaron pointed out at the beginning of the interview that in Brazil, the government promised them they could be middle class and failed.

01:52:11.520 So people are turning away from that.

01:52:13.240 But think of just how problematic the initial claim is.

01:52:17.120 First of all, as an aspirational goal, there's certainly nothing wrong with being middle class, but as an aspirational goal to promise middle class.

01:52:24.320 That's not what we aspire to.

01:52:25.700 That's a problem in and of itself.

01:52:27.460 And then the other part of that is a promise.

01:52:30.160 The government should never be promising you anything.

01:52:33.420 That's not what the government does.

01:52:34.960 It's up to you to make your way.

01:52:36.920 And you hope that people in these other countries will actually understand that.

01:52:40.300 I think that's, generally speaking, been ingrained in our culture for a really long time.

01:52:44.080 But it's gone away, and I think partially because of things like, you know, like Hollywood constantly vilifying the businessman.

01:52:50.500 They do this in, it's not just The Magnificent Seven, it's throughout everything.

01:52:54.000 It's always the end.

01:52:54.840 Especially holiday movies.

01:52:56.260 Yes, especially a lifetime.

01:52:57.680 If you have a heart.

01:52:58.860 If you have a heart.

01:53:00.260 You're better.

01:53:02.460 You can't be in business.

01:53:04.100 No.

01:53:04.880 If you want to be, if you want to live like Jesus, you can't be in business.

01:53:09.340 Well, it's every villain of every one of those Hallmark Christmas movies.

01:53:12.900 It's always the evil businessman.

01:53:13.800 Jesus was a community organizer.

01:53:15.640 We all know that.

01:53:16.740 We were told that by a congressman back nine years ago.

01:53:20.280 Yeah, and a socialist.

01:53:21.500 Yeah, which is such nonsense.

01:53:23.620 Remember when Jesus said, make sure that you give your money to Rome so that they can distribute it the way they see fit.

01:53:30.480 And some of the money will trickle down to the poor.

01:53:33.460 Stunningly.

01:53:33.660 I don't remember that part.

01:53:35.640 I remember him saying, give your money to the poor.

01:53:38.500 Yeah.

01:53:38.840 Go find them.

01:53:39.700 Kind of interesting.

01:53:40.400 Go find them.

01:53:41.140 Yeah.

01:53:41.380 Go help them.

01:53:42.160 Good Samaritan.

01:53:43.060 Right.

01:53:43.220 He didn't teach that the Good Samaritan stopped and called for help.

01:53:47.640 Right.

01:53:48.500 He didn't get on the run.

01:53:49.760 He didn't go run for somebody else to go.

01:53:51.920 Let me go back to the Sanhedrin and see if they can get somebody to help you out here.

01:53:55.300 No, he took care of the guy.

01:53:57.260 Took him to the hotel.

01:53:58.660 Bandaged his wounds.

01:53:59.800 All of those things.

01:54:00.760 Paid for a couple of nights.

01:54:01.580 Paid for it.

01:54:02.020 Paid for it.

01:54:02.420 Yeah.

01:54:03.300 Yeah.

01:54:04.560 Himself.

01:54:05.960 Right.

01:54:06.200 He the Grinch.

01:54:07.160 Yes.

01:54:07.720 Right.

01:54:08.320 Right.

01:54:08.980 Exactly right.

01:54:09.760 But that's not how businessmen are.

01:54:11.680 Businessmen want to come into your town and buy the cookie factory.

01:54:14.300 That's right.

01:54:14.680 The entire reason the town exists this whole time and then move it to Buffalo where no

01:54:21.360 one's going to care.

01:54:22.020 They're going to lose all the employees.

01:54:22.440 The big town of Buffalo.

01:54:23.040 Yeah.

01:54:23.520 The big, the big, the big town.

01:54:24.800 Yeah.

01:54:25.040 And you know why?

01:54:25.960 Because they want to make one extra percent or something on their profits.

01:54:30.060 And the fib will fool the child.

01:54:32.480 Yeah.

01:54:32.880 The last one that they had was this cookie movie from the, from this past Christmas on

01:54:38.180 one of the channels Hallmark or whatever.

01:54:39.540 And the, one of the like mean complaints about the businessman who wanted to come in and buy

01:54:44.620 the cookie factory was they wanted to keep it open all year and they only opened this

01:54:48.480 Christmas cookie factory for like three months a year around Christmas and so they

01:54:51.460 didn't make any money.

01:54:52.100 It's like, well, wait, it's a bad idea to freaking open a cookie.

01:54:56.760 Of course, if you're closed nine months of the year, you're going to lose money.

01:54:59.780 Of course.

01:55:00.700 Yes.

01:55:01.060 You need to be open all the time.

01:55:02.280 So people in April can get cookies.

01:55:04.200 I'm sorry.

01:55:04.840 That's such a problem for you.

01:55:06.000 I'm sorry.

01:55:06.600 You wanted to exist on only three months of work per year.

01:55:09.640 Evil businessmen.

01:55:13.520 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:55:17.720 Mercury.

01:55:22.100 This is the Glenn Beck program.
