The Glenn Beck Program - 'Truth or Only Outrage'？

00:00:00.000 The Blaze Radio Network, on demand, Glenn Beck.

00:00:09.280 Is it just me or are we all seeing the world entirely political?

00:00:12.740 That's it. That's the only lens we have now.

00:00:14.680 It's just political.

00:00:16.180 Only politics.

00:00:17.840 Love, art, music, movies, cars, everything political.

00:00:22.500 This is the world the postmodernists want us to live in.

00:00:27.340 This is the new social justice movement.

00:00:32.040 It's postmodern.

00:00:34.260 The personal is political and the political is personal.

00:00:38.560 Everything people see has some political meaning.

00:00:42.760 Cartoons.

00:00:44.100 We saw this with the latest news from Thomas the Tank Engine.

00:00:48.880 I'm not kidding you.

00:00:50.900 Thomas the Tank, the creators, went to the UN and said,

00:00:55.420 How can we make this correct with the political views of the UN?

00:01:02.240 I don't know if Thomas occasionally identifies as Thomasina, but it's coming.

00:01:10.760 Sports destroyed.

00:01:13.260 Food.

00:01:14.120 Everything.

00:01:15.320 Everything the social justice driven postmodernist sees is political.

00:01:19.700 Video games are now taking a hit lately, too.

00:01:22.680 And usually the people who throw these tantrums to insist that there be handicapped women

00:01:29.080 in a historically accurate video game about World War Two.

00:01:34.100 Excuse me.

00:01:34.840 Or people who throw the fit that there aren't enough pansexual women of color on Thomas the Tank Engine

00:01:41.160 usually don't even play the video games or watch the cartoons.

00:01:45.300 They just feel a need to impose their view on every aspect of life.

00:01:50.440 Yesterday, the book that I've been working on for quite some time, Addicted to Outrage, came out.

00:01:55.000 And as if on cue, yesterday afternoon, it shouldn't have been a surprise to hear the news

00:02:03.280 that a writer from Sesame Street claims that Bert and Ernie are gay.

00:02:12.580 Sesame Street, a show for children about counting, has been sexually used now in an act of political arrogance.

00:02:23.220 Mark Saltzman, who wrote for the show from 1984 to 1998, said during an interview with something called

00:02:30.200 Queerty, that he always considered Bert and Ernie a loving couple.

00:02:36.820 Okay, I think they're loving to each other as well.

00:02:40.780 That doesn't mean they're doing the nasty, you know.

00:02:44.740 As soon as they go to pan down to Oscar the Grouch, quick to the garbage can because they're making out.

00:02:51.380 He even mentions that one time a kindergartner asked him about it.

00:02:55.220 We can assume this example of a recent phenomenon called Woke Kids, where adults ascribe adult ideas,

00:03:02.980 usually about the president, to children.

00:03:05.260 As if to say, see, this idea is so pure and so right that children get it.

00:03:08.780 When in reality, the idea comes from a self-righteous person who is politicizing children.

00:03:14.960 Although we can't confirm that in this case.

00:03:17.340 Saltzman, who is gay, said,

00:03:19.300 I always felt that without a huge agenda, when I was writing Bert and Ernie, they were gay.

00:03:25.640 I didn't have any other way to contextualize them.

00:03:28.360 The other thing was, more than one person referred to Arnie and I as Bert and Ernie.

00:03:35.920 Oh, well then that makes it true.

00:03:39.080 Thank God officials from Sesame Street stepped in with some sanity.

00:03:43.100 Their statement,

00:03:43.520 As we have always said, Bert and Ernie are best friends.

00:03:47.840 They were created to teach preschoolers that people can be good friends with those who are very different from themselves.

00:03:55.800 See, one does this all the time.

00:03:59.120 And the other one is angry.

00:04:03.120 Even though they're identified as male characters and possess many human traits and characteristics, as most Sesame Street Muppets do.

00:04:11.820 And I love that they actually said this in a press release.

00:04:17.080 They remain puppets!

00:04:21.300 Puppets!

00:04:22.460 And they do not have sexual orientation!

00:04:27.240 This is the world we're living in.

00:04:30.020 A major company had to spell that out.

00:04:34.420 They're puppets, therefore they don't have anything.

00:04:39.380 Nothing in their pants.

00:04:41.820 Oh, in other news, and I'm not making this up, a transgendered stripper

00:04:50.540 is claiming that Wheaties are pansexual.

00:04:55.360 More on that as the broadcast continues.

00:04:58.700 How do we...

00:05:05.420 How do we not...

00:05:07.420 How do we control our outrage?

00:05:10.620 How do we...

00:05:11.000 Yeah, Mr.

00:05:11.520 Dutton Outrage?

00:05:12.840 Were you just screaming about puppets?

00:05:13.820 Is that what was going on there?

00:05:14.680 I mean, yeah, yeah.

00:05:14.900 Okay, so this...

00:05:16.780 Okay.

00:05:17.260 Did you see Frank Oz?

00:05:18.600 Did you see what Frank Oz...

00:05:20.300 What...

00:05:20.420 Here's Frank Oz.

00:05:21.580 He's Yoda.

00:05:23.340 Okay?

00:05:24.120 Frank Oz is Yoda.

00:05:26.820 He created the character.

00:05:28.900 He voiced the character.

00:05:31.580 Mm-hmm.

00:05:33.160 He's Yoda.

00:05:35.080 Yoda, well-known pansexual, by the way.

00:05:37.180 Right.

00:05:37.380 He also is the creator of, you know, the eagle, what's that eagle, Bert the eagle, or whatever

00:05:48.560 he is, Bert and Ernie, Animal, I think he did Miss Piggy, okay?

00:05:57.880 He's been there since the beginning.

00:05:59.280 So, he writes about the writer, Saltzman.

00:06:03.440 He tweets this yesterday.

00:06:05.660 It seems Mr. Mark Saltzman was asked if Bert and Ernie are gay.

00:06:09.600 It's fine that he feels they are.

00:06:13.720 They're not, of course, but why the question?

00:06:17.080 Does it really matter?

00:06:19.160 Why the need to define people only as gay?

00:06:23.000 There's so much more to being a human being than just straightness or gayness.

00:06:27.200 Oh, my gosh.

00:06:29.580 We have to destroy Frank Oz now.

00:06:31.820 Did you hear what he just said?

00:06:33.060 Yes.

00:06:33.520 Oh, my gosh.

00:06:34.920 Okay, so Tom writes in, why are they not gay?

00:06:39.620 I'm not arguing.

00:06:40.940 I'm just wondering.

00:06:43.060 Why are they not gay?

00:06:46.780 Well, there's a couple reasons.

00:06:48.380 They're puppets, for one.

00:06:51.440 Second, because they're not.

00:06:54.360 They're just not.

00:06:56.060 I don't know.

00:06:56.540 Why are you gay?

00:06:59.220 He said, because I created Bert.

00:07:01.880 I know what and who he is.

00:07:04.900 Then somebody else chimes in.

00:07:06.680 You may have created him, but you don't seem to realize or appreciate what he meant to thousands of little boys growing up.

00:07:15.580 You digging your heels in with what seems like disgust is disappointing.

00:07:23.720 Frank writes, how odd you see my feelings as disgust.

00:07:29.780 If your feelings are being perceived as disgust, it's because you're so adamant that they're not gay.

00:07:36.340 He's the creator of them.

00:07:39.680 He's the creator of them.

00:07:41.240 It's him.

00:07:42.700 He's the one.

00:07:43.540 He knows.

00:07:44.700 He created them as best friends who live together.

00:07:49.960 It's the odd couple.

00:07:51.680 Was the odd couple?

00:07:54.020 Was that a gay couple?

00:07:56.520 Do you remember the show at all?

00:07:57.980 The Neil Simon, you know, Oscar Madison and Felix Unger?

00:08:03.700 Yeah, and they just brought it back, too.

00:08:04.760 At least it was a bad insult.

00:08:06.900 Yeah, so they're not gay.

00:08:12.840 They live together.

00:08:14.280 That's what those two are reminiscent of.

00:08:18.820 Two people that don't agree that live together.

00:08:23.600 What a concept.

00:08:25.400 Maybe we should stop listening and worrying about if they were gay and let's just concentrate on.

00:08:31.680 Wait a minute.

00:08:32.120 They were created for what?

00:08:35.380 To show that two people who disagree with each other, who aren't like one another, can live side by side.

00:08:48.740 No, Frank, you're wrong, and I need to shut you up.

00:08:52.780 Boy, did you miss the point of Bert and Ernie.

00:08:57.860 So he goes on.

00:08:59.180 Uh, he writes, um, uh, the, so Ben writes and says, uh, representation matters, Frank.

00:09:12.240 Frank says, yes, it does.

00:09:13.960 When it's an honest representation.

00:09:17.340 What would you make the representation of these two characters as gay honest?

00:09:22.920 Do we need to see them bang?

00:09:24.800 If a mother tells me her son's roommate is actually his partner, I don't say, that's not an honest representation.

00:09:33.800 Whew.

00:09:35.900 Frank says, okay, it really doesn't matter.

00:09:38.860 What matters is that people see positive views of themselves and others in Bert and Ernie.

00:09:44.360 Wait, but isn't it dishonest to call them just brothers or friends?

00:09:49.360 I thought this was about honesty.

00:09:51.680 Oh my gosh.

00:09:52.580 It's important for characters to be explicitly declared queer because the mainstream will quote them as straight by default.

00:10:01.880 Agreed.

00:10:03.080 Frank writes, when a character is created to be queer, it is important that the character be known as such.

00:10:11.960 It's also important when a character who was not created queer to be accepted as such.

00:10:20.560 Oh my gosh.

00:10:21.880 I, I, I, I, I want out.

00:10:25.780 I want out, I want out, I want out, I want out, I want out, I want out.

00:10:29.300 Okay, so here's the thing.

00:10:30.360 So I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, you know, just writing down some thoughts and I think about all of the joy that Sesame Street has brought all of us and brought me in particular.

00:10:43.360 I used to love watching the Muppets.

00:10:45.980 Sometimes I still do.

00:10:48.840 Uh, and I started thinking about all of the joy of Frank Oz.

00:10:53.600 And then I started to think of, uh, you know, uh, Jim Henson.

00:10:57.860 And then I remembered, you know, Kermit the Frog.

00:11:00.880 And I, I was like, oh man, I, I love Kermit the Frog.

00:11:05.040 He is, he is so great.

00:11:07.820 Right.

00:11:08.260 And then I started thinking about the Rainbow Connection.

00:11:14.120 And I, I wanted to look, I wanted to play the song and, and listen to the words.

00:11:22.420 Why are there so many songs about rainbows and what's on the other side?

00:11:27.140 Because rainbows are vision, but only illusions.

00:11:30.580 And rainbows have nothing to hide.

00:11:32.780 Illusions.

00:11:34.900 And rainbows have nothing to hide.

00:11:38.260 Right.

00:11:40.160 So we've been told.

00:11:42.920 And some choose to believe it.

00:11:46.640 But I know they're wrong.

00:11:49.640 Just wait and see.

00:11:52.660 Someday we'll find it.

00:11:54.960 The Rainbow Connection.

00:11:56.800 The lovers.

00:11:58.600 The dreamers.

00:12:00.020 And me.

00:12:02.060 Okay.

00:12:03.020 Okay, so, all right.

00:12:04.120 Okay, so, all right.

00:12:05.460 That made me happy.

00:12:06.240 And I thought, oh, there's, there's kind of a lesson to be learned there.

00:12:09.560 I should have stopped there.

00:12:11.260 I should have stopped there.

00:12:12.800 But instead, because I have iTunes music, I noticed that there's other people who have

00:12:19.780 sung the Rainbow Connection.

00:12:21.720 For instance.

00:12:23.060 Other people.

00:12:23.620 You mean the first person?

00:12:24.520 The first one was a frog, right?

00:12:25.900 So this would be the first.

00:12:27.280 These would be.

00:12:27.800 No.

00:12:28.340 I mean, if you want to be technical, it was a puppet.

00:12:32.640 And it was Jim Henson that sang the song.

00:12:35.160 That seems like.

00:12:36.340 And then I thought, oh, this might be nice to hear.

00:12:38.560 I didn't know.

00:12:40.040 Sarah McLachlan did it.

00:12:41.500 It doesn't even sound like her, does it?

00:12:49.840 No.

00:12:51.820 And I'm thinking to myself, okay, that's not good.

00:12:55.100 Gwen Stefani did a Rainbow Connection as well.

00:13:01.540 And she kind of sounds a little something like this.

00:13:04.540 Why are there so many songs about rainbows?

00:13:10.740 And what's on the other side?

00:13:14.920 Okay.

00:13:15.640 I thought, no, no.

00:13:16.700 I can't handle it.

00:13:17.820 Oh, wait a minute.

00:13:18.960 Oh, the Carpenters did a.

00:13:25.740 Oh, my gosh.

00:13:31.720 Oh, boy.

00:13:32.400 Why are there so many.

00:13:35.760 Come on.

00:13:36.400 Okay.

00:13:36.800 How about Kenny Loggins did Rainbow Connection?

00:13:46.260 You go to Kenny Loggins.

00:13:48.120 You can go to Ben Martin.

00:13:52.420 You can go.

00:13:53.320 Here's my.

00:13:53.980 This is.

00:13:54.680 We don't need any more versions of this song.

00:13:56.500 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:13:59.140 You need this one.

00:14:00.180 This is this one's just.

00:14:03.960 Why are there so many.

00:14:07.080 Willie Nelson.

00:14:08.580 Okay.

00:14:09.180 So I just I just I just I just want you to know there are many things to be outraged by many things to be outraged by.

00:14:17.420 You could be outraged that they are straight instead of gay.

00:14:23.000 But then there are real reasons to be outraged.

00:14:29.600 The Rainbow Connection should only be sung in the voice of Kermit the Frog, period.

00:14:35.260 No one else should do it.

00:14:37.240 And I am taking a very hard stand on that.

00:14:40.840 So that's a legitimate outrage because that one is legitimate.

00:14:43.700 You talk about in the book that there are some things that you should be outraged about.

00:14:46.680 Yes.

00:14:46.940 And you're identifying.

00:14:48.320 Yes.

00:14:48.900 Forget about the Supreme Court.

00:14:50.480 Okay.

00:14:50.840 Forget about forget about the Supreme Court.

00:14:52.900 Forget about what that means for justice for our children going forward.

00:14:58.040 Forget about that.

00:14:59.680 And Bert and Ernie being gay.

00:15:00.940 No.

00:15:01.240 The outrage that we should be concentrating on is the Rainbow Connection.

00:15:08.100 There's only one version and there should always remain only one version.

00:15:23.240 All right.

00:15:24.400 So the U.S. government has charged a North Korean man for the 2014 cyber assault on Sony.

00:15:29.640 How did they find this guy?

00:15:32.480 I mean, I know how they found this guy.

00:15:33.740 I mean, obviously.

00:15:34.820 But I mean, he's North Korean.

00:15:37.760 It's not like you're looking up his social security number.

00:15:39.680 How are you finding who this guy really is?

00:15:42.940 He was part of a team of hackers called the Lazarus Group who repeatedly tried to breach U.S. businesses with ransomware cyber attacks.

00:15:50.460 They finally got it through to Sony, and the employees there were tricked by these links that were sent to them by Facebook and Twitter, and it contained this North Korean-controlled malware.

00:16:02.680 They were screwed, and there was nothing they could do.

00:16:07.520 There are so many threats in today's connected world.

00:16:09.900 It takes one weak link, and criminals get in.

00:16:54.740 Welcome to the program.

00:16:59.360 Glad you're here.

00:17:01.960 Yesterday I was with The Daily Wire, with Andrew Klavan and Ben Shapiro and Jeremy Boring and Michael Knowles, who should be fired immediately, but that's a different story.

00:17:17.660 And we did a backstage thing where it was 90 minutes or so of just sitting around, just talking about the news and life.

00:17:30.160 This group is so smart and so sharp and so funny.

00:17:35.980 It was a lot of fun.

00:17:38.960 And it was on Facebook.

00:17:40.280 You can find it on my Facebook page or The Blaze Facebook page.

00:17:44.140 Anything I should know about?

00:17:46.100 Because I wasn't there for the taping, and I'm just curious if there's anything that I'm going to have to be dealing with for, let's say, the rest of my life.

00:17:52.760 There was!

00:17:53.540 Or at least my career, which probably will be over very soon.

00:17:57.180 There was!

00:17:57.700 There's some reports that I've heard.

00:17:59.180 The use of a bong.

00:18:02.020 And, yeah.

00:18:04.700 Huh.

00:18:05.480 There was the...

00:18:07.060 So I thought it was funny, because I'm not, you know, I don't smoke and I don't drink, and we are in California, so I thought it would be funny to, at some point,

00:18:17.040 and it takes almost the full 90 minutes for me to find exactly the right place.

00:18:21.060 They had no idea.

00:18:22.700 I had gone to a dispensary here.

00:18:27.060 I was going to say you went to a dispensary.

00:18:28.600 Yeah, okay.

00:18:29.100 Well, I didn't.

00:18:30.080 You know.

00:18:30.660 You sent your minions.

00:18:31.660 I sent my minions to a dispensary.

00:18:33.980 And I did.

00:18:34.940 They did look at me weirdly when I said, I need you to go and find a place where you can buy a bong.

00:18:42.500 Oh, yeah.

00:18:43.140 In California.

00:18:43.840 Right.

00:18:44.500 It was right down the street.

00:18:45.540 It was like half a block away.

00:18:46.620 Oh, we've walked by.

00:18:46.920 I've walked by several of them since I've been here, yeah.

00:18:48.860 So they told me that the bong buying experience was a little weird, and none of us really knew how to use a modern bong.

00:18:57.800 A modern bong?

00:19:00.720 You are cool.

00:19:01.940 I know.

00:19:02.320 I don't know how to explain it to you.

00:19:03.480 I know.

00:19:04.220 Yeah, that's a moment I need to see.

00:19:06.840 Yeah.

00:19:07.120 And there are several others, I've heard, that were interesting.

00:19:10.560 I heard it was great, actually.

00:19:11.440 Yeah, it was really funny.

00:19:12.700 Really funny.

00:19:13.180 I'm on with Andrew Klavan, I think, today.

00:19:16.120 Yeah, me too.

00:19:16.620 And Michael Knowles, as well, for me today.

00:19:18.860 I'm excited about doing those, too.

00:19:20.020 Yeah, and I'm with Adam Carolla.

00:19:24.760 Is it this week or next week?

00:19:26.400 Cool.

00:19:26.600 And there's a couple.

00:19:28.440 I'm doing a couple of other shows today.

00:19:30.540 So they're, you know, all top 20 or so podcasts.

00:19:34.780 So if you listen around, we're doing all podcasts.

00:19:38.840 All alternative media, right?

00:19:39.880 Yeah.

00:19:40.220 I can't tell you.

00:19:41.920 Stop with the media.

00:19:43.440 And then go on the media.

00:19:45.940 Stop with the media.

00:19:49.400 Their time has passed.

00:19:52.720 Their time has passed.

00:19:55.320 All right.

00:19:55.900 Back in just a second with more on Kavanaugh and also the latest outrage.

00:20:02.540 We are doing a Glenn Beck podcast this weekend.

00:20:10.600 It's an extra.

00:20:11.720 If you subscribe to the Glenn Beck radio show and the podcast on iTunes or wherever you listen

00:20:16.900 to podcasts on the weekend, and in fact, this weekend or next weekend, you're going to be getting two of these.

00:20:23.380 You get an extra show.

00:20:24.540 So on Saturday, you will receive the Glenn Beck podcast, which this week is an interview with a guy that most people have not heard of.

00:20:33.540 And I think he is fascinating.

00:20:35.100 I brought him in because I wasn't sure who he was.

00:20:38.860 I started reading his book, Springtime for Snowflakes.

00:20:42.420 And he was a he's a former what he describes as a libertarian communist.

00:20:49.960 In the interview, I ask him, how does that work?

00:20:54.160 And he had a really quite interesting answer.

00:20:57.980 But he has worked in the university system his whole life, and he has been part of deconstruction, and he knows the postmodern movement inside and out.

00:21:06.920 He has been part of the radical Marxist left.

00:21:12.420 Until recently.

00:21:14.600 And he talks a little bit about what happened to him and why he woke up.

00:21:21.560 Let me give you cut one here.

00:21:22.940 He begins to wake up.

00:21:25.280 Yeah, it was a Twitter.

00:21:27.060 It was I'm sorry.

00:21:27.660 It was a Facebook post that I made.

00:21:29.380 It was a joke.

00:21:30.500 There was a student at the University of Michigan who posted when asked by the university or given the right to use any pronoun he wanted and to enter it into the system under his profile, chose, quote, his majesty.

00:21:46.440 I thought it was hilarious.

00:21:48.700 And so I posted I simply posted a link to that article having, you know, thousands of leftist friends, a lot of trans friends at that time.

00:21:57.720 And the vitriol, the outrage, the hysteria was just unbelievable.

00:22:04.980 Why?

00:22:05.000 They called me everything from a transphobe to committing discursive violence, a phrase I will explain later.

00:22:13.840 Yes, please.

00:22:14.440 And of treason, you know, on and on and on, just for posting a link to an article with no comment.

00:22:22.280 And I said, this is this is unbelievable.

00:22:24.880 And then I realized that everybody was everybody was kowtowing to this kind of ideological pressure.

00:22:31.480 Everybody I knew they were all careful not to say something would offend this crowd, this trans crowd and this social justice crowd.

00:22:39.900 And they were so scary.

00:22:42.220 So he goes on then to start his his own Twitter handle.

00:22:47.800 And it was what was it?

00:22:50.240 Deplorable NYU professor.

00:22:52.180 Now, here's a guy who is a published communist.

00:22:56.940 He has written white papers widely distributed for communists.

00:23:03.820 He's respected by the left and everybody else.

00:23:07.580 He decides, OK, this is getting out of hand.

00:23:11.280 And he decides to start writing Twitter posts.

00:23:14.940 Here's what happened next.

00:23:16.560 I had a NYU student newspaper reporter contact me and said, you know, these tweets are really something else.

00:23:23.740 Are you really an NYU professor?

00:23:25.520 This was through a direct message.

00:23:26.860 I said, yes.

00:23:28.020 And so she asked me if I would sit down for an interview.

00:23:30.360 And I said, yes.

00:23:31.220 I wasn't sure I would go on the record, but I would talk to her.

00:23:33.920 So we did that.

00:23:35.000 And after I was done talking to her, I said, there's really nothing.

00:23:38.300 What I've said here needs to be said.

00:23:40.520 And I actually want to put my name on it, frankly, because I think it's there's there's nothing objectionable into some.

00:23:47.020 You know, there's nothing fundamentally abhorrent or deplorable about it.

00:23:52.400 It's just it's just another viewpoint.

00:23:54.960 And it's a vantage point, I think, needs to be aired.

00:23:57.120 And that that went in the paper.

00:24:01.080 She took a picture of me laughing and that made the heresy, you know, somewhat.

00:24:06.060 Yeah, we're doubled.

00:24:07.860 And then all hell broke loose on within my university.

00:24:12.060 You were called in the middle of a class, were you not?

00:24:14.160 I was called out in the middle of the class by the dean and said, you know, can you come over to see me?

00:24:19.380 And I said, sure.

00:24:20.700 I've got an idea what it was about.

00:24:22.960 Although I was saying that this really is happening.

00:24:24.880 I'm being called in for my political views.

00:24:27.840 And so I go over and he comes up really close to me, but pulls me into the office.

00:24:33.460 I come into the office.

00:24:34.160 He pulls me real close with by a handshake.

00:24:35.960 You know, Michael, I want you to know this has nothing to do with your Twitter account or of the publicity you're getting.

00:24:43.100 I said, oh, and sure, sure.

00:24:46.420 And then he said just after that.

00:24:48.660 Wait, hang on before this.

00:24:49.500 Yeah.

00:24:49.780 You are a well-liked professor.

00:24:52.780 Well-liked.

00:24:53.400 I was well-liked.

00:24:55.200 Students love me.

00:24:56.440 My student, you know, evaluations are very high.

00:24:59.420 I mean, I have done everything you're supposed to do.

00:25:02.260 You were liked by your peers up until this-

00:25:04.280 Most of my colleagues liked me.

00:25:05.640 Okay.

00:25:05.960 All right.

00:25:06.140 There was a few that didn't.

00:25:07.200 That's fine.

00:25:07.620 It's always going to happen.

00:25:08.580 And I had done everything that an academic is supposed to do.

00:25:11.940 Published widely, committee work, all that stuff.

00:25:15.360 Yep, yep.

00:25:15.680 I was a good citizen.

00:25:17.480 Okay?

00:25:18.320 I said the wrong thing.

00:25:19.940 Right.

00:25:20.140 So, and then he said, no, have a seat.

00:25:25.780 And if you don't mind, I would like the head of human resources to join us.

00:25:30.000 Uh-oh.

00:25:30.600 But this has nothing to do with what you-

00:25:36.800 We just need to have a talk.

00:25:38.080 Turns out that his-

00:25:40.380 He is presented with a choice.

00:25:44.220 We're very concerned about you.

00:25:46.100 We think these tweets-

00:25:47.440 And this has nothing to do with the tweets.

00:25:49.580 But we think these tweets are a cry for help.

00:25:51.960 And your coworkers are beginning to be concerned about your mental health.

00:25:58.100 So, we could either deal with this publicly and fire you.

00:26:03.240 Or you could just take a medical leave of absence.

00:26:08.900 So, basically, agree with them that he is going crazy.

00:26:14.180 Here he is on why it was important to talk about this.

00:26:21.980 Cut three.

00:26:24.140 I said this from the beginning.

00:26:26.200 When Trump got into office, or before he got into office even.

00:26:30.400 Oh, I guess it was after.

00:26:31.500 When they founded the resistance.

00:26:33.700 I said the resistance would be far worse than Trump.

00:26:36.960 And I think that's been the case.

00:26:38.240 I mean, the resistance is really unhinged.

00:26:41.520 And it's fueled by all kinds of ideological error, I think.

00:26:47.660 And it's fueled by a conviction.

00:26:49.140 An absolute conviction of total moral certainty.

00:26:52.480 And that's what's scary.

00:26:53.940 When people believe they're absolutely morally superior and certain.

00:26:58.140 And they're absolutely right.

00:27:00.980 They become like Antifa.

00:27:02.120 Well, it is why totalitarianism always ends in massive death.

00:27:09.700 Bloodshed.

00:27:10.240 Because if you get to a point, I've asked this question from the left and the right.

00:27:15.160 Yeah.

00:27:15.680 Just let's imagine tomorrow, you have your way.

00:27:19.660 And everybody you've elected is in.

00:27:22.340 You still have 50% of the country that doesn't agree with you.

00:27:26.320 That's right.

00:27:26.580 What are you going to do with them?

00:27:27.620 Well, even, you know, this is, most Marxists won't admit this.

00:27:30.540 But Marx himself said, you have to kill them.

00:27:33.540 There has to be a terror.

00:27:35.380 And they got this idea of the terror from, of course, the French Revolution and the aftermath.

00:27:40.780 You know, they said that that is the model.

00:27:44.360 After a revolution, you must go on a terror spree.

00:27:47.080 You must get rid of ideological opponents.

00:27:48.960 And you must get rid of the bourgeoisie.

00:27:51.340 If they cling to their bourgeoisie character.

00:27:54.360 Otherwise, you know, if they're willing to convert, then fine.

00:27:57.280 But people are killed for having the wrong thoughts.

00:28:01.200 That's basically what it comes down to.

00:28:04.680 Now, this is a guy who claimed just a few years ago to be a communist.

00:28:09.720 And you will understand it in this conversation that we have with him this weekend.

00:28:19.000 His communism was more theoretical, I think.

00:28:24.280 It was more, you know, next time we can do it right.

00:28:29.680 You know, that's what you always hear.

00:28:30.980 Well, they did it wrong.

00:28:32.140 Next time we'll do it right.

00:28:33.580 But it was so it was theoretical.

00:28:36.540 He believes in, you know, sharing and all of the stuff, the utopian stuff.

00:28:41.960 That's all good.

00:28:43.060 It's all good.

00:28:44.700 But when he started to see how people are being shut down, how you're being isolated, how you're being chased out of the square, how you're being fired, what names you're being called.

00:28:57.380 He realized they're going to kill.

00:29:01.340 This is the way communism always begins.

00:29:05.140 It starts nice and then it goes wrong.

00:29:08.700 And he started to see the very first signs of this going wrong.

00:29:14.600 It's it's no longer.

00:29:16.820 Hey, you know, we should be nice to each other.

00:29:19.480 We shouldn't.

00:29:20.760 We should say handy capable instead of a handicap because it makes people feel good.

00:29:24.620 Now it is shove.

00:29:27.580 And the next step is shoot.

00:29:29.820 If you don't do it, they're going to they're shoving people now.

00:29:34.040 You will do this.

00:29:37.260 And we'll shove you into that position.

00:29:40.320 And if not, we'll banish you from society.

00:29:44.020 Well, the only thing left after that is shoot.

00:29:47.780 And he saw that happening.

00:29:49.640 And I asked him, you know, these are all intelligent people.

00:29:55.880 How do these intelligent people start using these postmodern tactics?

00:30:01.180 Here's what he told me.

00:30:02.260 One of the main things that has been inaugurated by the left is cultural relativism and cultural relativism also brings with it a more relativism.

00:30:12.740 But the main thing about cultural relativism is that you can't from your from your culture.

00:30:17.900 You're you're not a lot of criticized people of another culture because you're in your you're suggesting that your culture is better than theirs.

00:30:25.760 And that's so when I meet in this actually happened, I met I asked for a meeting with people of GLAAD.

00:30:32.760 This is when the height of Ahmadinejad throwing people off the building, you know, gay people off, torturing them, killing them.

00:30:41.560 And Russia is starting to take driver's license away and and absconding people at night.

00:30:46.980 And they're never seen again because they're homosexual.

00:30:49.880 You can say, well, their culture is different, so I can't comment.

00:30:53.680 Yeah.

00:30:53.860 But we all know.

00:30:55.580 Yeah.

00:30:56.420 Killing is someone because they're homosexual is a no go zone.

00:31:01.460 Yeah.

00:31:01.660 How come they they won't make that step?

00:31:05.740 Well, there's another aspect to it, not just the relativism.

00:31:08.620 The other thing is the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

00:31:12.260 And you're there.

00:31:13.860 You they are the enemy of, you know, Western civilization.

00:31:18.000 Yeah.

00:31:18.380 All right.

00:31:18.680 So intersectionality is how many times that's why.

00:31:22.440 Basically, how many how many power vectors are intersecting you and subordinating you?

00:31:26.860 And does that give you the hierarchy?

00:31:28.740 Once you have more vectors, the lower you are, the higher you are.

00:31:32.420 Right.

00:31:32.580 This is why there's a race to the bottom in the oppression Olympics, as it's called rather derogatorily.

00:31:37.900 You want to rush to the bottom because when by the time you get there, you're going to be on top.

00:31:42.920 This is a fascinating conversation and it is part of the message of the book that came out yesterday.

00:31:56.740 Addicted Outrage.

00:31:57.660 It is.

00:31:58.440 This is a an in-depth explanation of some by somebody who has lived it and taught it.

00:32:06.240 And it's what gives me hope that things can change because a guy who was a published communist can come out and say, OK, wait a minute, wait a minute.

00:32:19.100 This is going off the rails right now, and they are doing everything they can to destroy this guy.

00:32:26.000 You need to hear his voice.

00:32:28.100 You need to hear what he what he can teach us, because there's so much of this postmodern nonsense that our kids know.

00:32:37.960 If you send your kid to college and they're coming home, they're coming home with a different language.

00:32:43.740 They're coming home with with ways and knowledge and a mission to deconstruct everything.

00:32:52.920 And if you can't speak that language, if you don't know what those words are or mean, everything changes.

00:33:00.440 You now look outdated.

00:33:02.180 You now look like old mom and dad that just don't get it.

00:33:05.800 And more importantly, I think we have to address this with our kids before we send them even to high school, because it's all being taught.

00:33:17.720 And they need to be aware of it and have the ammunition to fight against it before they encounter it.

00:33:25.140 You think you think they're lost.

00:33:29.000 We're just as lost.

00:33:30.540 Begin your journey to being able to fight this problem.

00:33:37.760 Addicted Outrage, available in bookstores everywhere.

00:33:40.460 For most Americans, their biggest investment is their home.

00:33:45.160 It's the biggest thing they'll ever they'll ever do.

00:33:47.320 And Stu is I mean, he's a I mean, he loves to buy real estate.

00:33:51.860 He just loves it.

00:33:52.800 Oh, huge fan.

00:33:53.720 Yeah.

00:33:53.900 I actually don't like to buy real estate, you know, but I it's something that we all have to do.

00:34:01.120 I don't like being locked down.

00:34:02.220 I mean, I want to I want to keep the option of running away from you on the table at any moment.

00:34:07.120 And it's like a moment's notice.

00:34:08.320 I just want to be able to drop everything and get out.

00:34:10.480 You bought your first house since we've been working together for 20 years.

00:34:14.120 You finally say, OK, I'm going to settle down.

00:34:17.700 I so want to fire, you know, just just just for that.

00:34:21.500 Just the torture.

00:34:22.320 Just to prove you shouldn't have bought a house.

00:34:24.600 So this has been like a longtime sleeper self.

00:34:27.000 Yes, it lured me into a good relationship for 20 years.

00:34:29.900 Yes, it is.

00:34:30.480 Just to fire me and ruin my life.

00:34:32.020 All right.

00:34:32.340 Working with the right agent when you want to sell your house.

00:34:35.140 Let's say you're Stu and you're like, he might be serious.

00:35:42.760 Glenn Beck.

00:35:44.520 Bill Gates says my biggest fear is about what's coming next for this world.

00:35:49.000 When asked about the challenges of global health security, what he fears most, he says what is what is known as disease X, the next unknown disease.

00:35:59.820 We are not fully prepared for the next global pandemic, the threat of the unknown pathogen, highly contagious, lethal, fast moving.

00:36:07.460 It is real.

00:36:09.100 It could be a mutated flu strain or something else entirely.

00:36:12.040 But we are not prepared.

00:36:13.620 Yesterday, the president took action to strengthen the nation's defenses against biological threats.

00:36:21.220 For the first time in history, he says, the federal government has a national bio-defense strategy to address the full range of biological threats.

00:36:30.020 You won't see anybody connect these two stories because you're never going to see Bill Gates saying, OK, good, a positive step from this administration.

00:36:41.640 Is there truth or only outrage?

00:36:45.940 We'll prove the point.

00:36:47.960 Glenn.

00:36:48.360 And show you how to fight against it next.

00:36:49.980 Glenn Beck is coming live to talk about the right path forward and to make fun of the people standing in the way.

00:36:58.140 He might not be able to save the country, but at least we can all go down laughing.

00:37:01.480 Glenn Beck live.

00:37:02.900 The Addicted to Outrage Tour on tour this fall.

00:37:07.540 Glenn Beck.

00:37:09.740 OK, this is the point where the Brett Kavanaugh saga becomes absolutely toxic.

00:37:16.200 The Kavanaugh situation couldn't be any more flammable as it is.

00:37:20.560 Yet Senator Dianne Feinstein pulls out a flamethrower.

00:37:23.980 Hey, everybody, look what I just got from Elon Musk.

00:37:28.000 It is the favorite playground of outraged junkies.

00:37:33.480 She says Republicans are trying to block an FBI investigation into the allegation of the California college professor Christine Ford that Kavanaugh has been accused of sexually assaulting at a high school party.

00:37:45.600 In 1982, remember, her deal is we are trying to block an FBI investigation.

00:37:52.960 Now, as a 126 year veteran of the U.S. Senate, you would think that Feinstein would know the kinds of things that the FBI can investigate.

00:38:05.700 But apparently you'd be wrong.

00:38:07.920 Apparently, she and many of her fellow Democrats don't know.

00:38:13.680 Perhaps they forgot or they have such little respect for the American people that they think you just don't know because you're just a bunch of hayseed hicks.

00:38:27.660 They just don't know what the FBI does.

00:38:30.020 You hear FBI and you're like, oh, they investigate everything.

00:38:32.760 Listen, the feds do not.

00:38:36.180 They're not in the habit of looking into suburban high school parties that happened in the 1980s.

00:38:44.320 Really?

00:38:45.180 Wait a minute, Cletus.

00:38:47.020 What?

00:38:48.480 To explain to America's lawmakers what the FBI does, the Justice Department had to issue a statement.

00:38:56.500 It says the FBI does not make any judgment about the credibility or significance of any allegation.

00:39:04.560 The purpose of a background investigation is to determine whether the nominee could pose a risk to the national security of the United States.

00:39:13.940 This allegation does not involve any potential federal crime.

00:39:19.900 So the Democrats were hoping for this epic, you know, Mueller-length investigation.

00:39:25.900 Risky business gate.

00:39:29.220 Spartacus will appear.

00:39:32.620 Unfortunately, they have to settle now for some testimony from Kavanaugh and Ford, which is scheduled for Monday.

00:39:39.120 That is, if Christine Ford even agrees to show up.

00:39:42.840 Late yesterday, her lawyer submitted a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee requesting that law enforcement do a full investigation before anyone testifies.

00:39:53.140 Oh, so we could delay some more.

00:39:55.500 Democrats turned Kavanaugh's Senate Judiciary Committee hearing into an embarrassing circus of sad clown activists.

00:40:03.740 Imagine what they might have up their sleeve or on their nose on Monday's testimony.

00:40:10.100 The left is already billing this as a sequel to the 1991 Anita Hill-Clarence Thomas fiasco.

00:40:17.620 Anita Hill herself wrote in the New York Times yesterday that the committee has a chance to do better by the country than it did three decades ago.

00:40:27.500 You've got to be kidding me.

00:40:29.340 Does anybody even know the Clarence Thomas-Anita Hill story anymore?

00:40:32.880 Apparently not.

00:40:37.220 But here's the good news.

00:40:38.660 If there's one thing we've learned from Hollywood, it's that sequels made 30 years after the original usually really suck.

00:40:46.540 It's Wednesday, September 19th.

00:40:53.280 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:40:55.260 It's a big point you're going to see online today and people trying to make on Kavanaugh in that Clarence Thomas had to deal with an FBI investigation when it came to Anita Hill.

00:41:07.660 And that shows that there should be an FBI investigation.

00:41:10.920 I think there was an important thing that happened yesterday, which was the Kavanaugh thing turned from a Hail Mary, let's stop Kavanaugh at all costs for the Democrats to a effort of let's just get a talking point for this election.

00:41:25.200 I think because when you find out that she's not even going to show up to testify now, what you're getting now, they're just trying at this point to say to the people, they wouldn't even stop for an investigation.

00:41:38.400 They just jammed that guy through before we could even look into him.

00:41:41.580 Do you believe this?

00:41:42.400 This is who the Republicans are.

00:41:43.800 Vote for us.

00:41:44.320 We're Democrats.

00:41:45.240 I don't even at this point.

00:41:46.520 I think they don't even think they have a chance to stop it.

00:41:49.860 We could see some more theatric.

00:41:50.980 She could show up in the courtroom on the day of the vote.

00:41:55.060 Who knows what's going to happen?

00:41:56.240 But I think that's important.

00:41:57.440 And when it comes down to the point you're going to see on online today, Clarence Thomas did have an FBI investigation.

00:42:06.080 The reason for that is because Anita Hill was a federal employee.

00:42:09.900 The FBI has jurisdiction over these cases.

00:42:12.260 They do not have jurisdiction over high school cases in Maryland in 1982.

00:42:17.940 That's not what this is about.

00:42:19.020 Anita Hill was a current federal employee.

00:42:21.080 It happened during work at a federal office, allegedly.

00:42:24.860 So that was why the FBI was involved in that.

00:42:27.300 It has nothing to do with what I think it was Charles Cook who was at it.

00:42:31.800 The FBI is not just like the super secret police that you call when you really want them.

00:42:36.380 They have a jurisdiction just like everybody else.

00:42:38.820 And Anita Hill was covered under that jurisdiction.

00:42:41.380 And this new case with Kavanaugh is not.

00:42:43.780 It's just a ploy to delay this.

00:42:45.840 And at first it was a Hail Mary.

00:42:47.460 I think now they realize that the bluff has been called and you're seeing now without her showing up, this should advance.

00:42:55.720 But they'll still use it as a talking point in the election to try to show how evil Republicans are.

00:43:00.160 You know what's incredible to me is the way this all is being positioned.

00:43:06.520 It looks as though she's just not going to she's she's a poor victim.

00:43:12.160 And I want you to know there's a chance that this is true.

00:43:15.920 There's a chance this isn't true.

00:43:18.080 I think there's a much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much greater chance that it isn't true because the preponderance of evidence is astounding because there is no preponderance of evidence.

00:43:31.820 There is no evidence.

00:43:32.820 There's nothing.

00:43:33.800 There's one word of one person against another person.

00:43:37.680 Yeah, that's it.

00:43:38.780 And so there's a very good chance this did not happen, but she's being viewed and portrayed as somebody who, well, would you blame her for not going up on the to the Senate to testify?

00:43:55.260 Well, no, because, you know, anybody's going to be torn apart.

00:43:59.080 We know that because look what they're doing to Brett Kavanaugh.

00:44:01.660 So you're going to be torn apart.

00:44:02.920 But there is another there is another viewpoint worthy of consideration, and that is.

00:44:10.760 Stu, remember when I was saying, oh, I want to testify.

00:44:15.300 Remember, they were talking about, you know, me testifying in front of Congress years ago, and I was like, oh, yes.

00:44:21.740 Yeah, I believe the person who was threatening you with that was Anthony Weiner.

00:44:26.380 Right.

00:44:26.560 And I was like, oh, yeah, unleash me on the weiner.

00:44:30.540 Well, please pull that audio, Sarah.

00:44:33.320 Thank you.

00:44:34.460 I assume you've already done it, but please, we'll need that for a future reference.

00:44:38.080 Do you remember that?

00:44:38.820 Why did we say no?

00:44:40.340 Why did all of the advisors say, don't stop, shut up?

00:44:43.780 Well, you know, it's a perjury trap.

00:44:45.360 Usually there's some where they're doing something to get you to, you know, to embarrass yourself or or blow the case or say something, misremember something.

00:44:53.880 They can get you on anything.

00:44:55.540 If you perjure yourself in front of Congress, it used to be a big deal.

00:45:01.060 I'm not sure it is anymore for Democrats.

00:45:03.200 Yeah.

00:45:03.420 But it used to be a big deal.

00:45:04.920 And slightly different situation.

00:45:05.900 But this was essentially Woodward's case in his book about Trump.

00:45:09.800 Trump wanted to testify, wanted to go in front of Mueller, wanted to be interviewed.

00:45:13.200 And his lawyers kept saying, they're just setting a trap for you because Trump was like, I didn't do this.

00:45:18.660 I want to go and I don't want the American people to see me as someone who was too scared to testify.

00:45:25.540 And Dowd and his other attorneys, Ty Cobb, look, you're looking at this completely wrong.

00:45:31.400 This is their opportunity to catch you doing something new.

00:45:34.700 This is not an opportunity for you to prove your innocence.

00:45:36.940 This is a chance for them to create a new crime in which you will be in trouble for.

00:45:40.360 Correct.

00:45:40.660 And that's the way it works with dishonest law enforcement.

00:45:45.660 That is also the way it works with Congress, which is a political body.

00:45:51.060 If this woman is smart, she is talking to her attorneys and they're saying at least this.

00:45:59.260 Okay, I believe you.

00:46:01.300 But you have no facts.

00:46:04.120 You don't know where it was.

00:46:05.440 You don't really know who was in the room.

00:46:08.060 You don't know how you got there.

00:46:09.140 You have nothing.

00:46:10.660 If you get on and suddenly remember something that isn't exactly right or gone against what

00:46:17.380 you've already said, you can perjure yourself and don't think the Republicans won't nail

00:46:24.340 you for perjury.

00:46:26.840 Okay, that's the best case scenario from an attorney that says, I believe you 100%.

00:46:33.560 So any attorney is saying, don't do this.

00:46:37.420 But with as sketchy as this story is, most likely it's kind of the Perry Mason thing.

00:46:45.020 Look, I can't defend you if you don't tell me the truth.

00:46:48.460 You know, it's one of those things where the attorney, I'm guessing, looks at this and

00:46:54.240 says, there's nothing here.

00:46:55.680 Now, maybe you believe it, but there is nothing here.

00:46:59.560 So they're going to ask you questions.

00:47:03.240 You're going to respond.

00:47:05.340 If you respond, you could go to jail.

00:47:08.580 If she knows that this isn't true, if this is a political circus, purely political, it

00:47:17.500 didn't happen.

00:47:18.880 Would you testify?

00:47:20.640 No, of course.

00:47:21.660 I mean, you've done your job in that circumstance.

00:47:25.360 And look, I don't know that.

00:47:26.160 I do believe it's purely political.

00:47:28.700 I do, too.

00:47:29.320 Now, whether it's true or not, I mean, I don't think it is.

00:47:32.340 I honestly am.

00:47:33.320 I'm 95% no.

00:47:35.080 But again, I wasn't there.

00:47:36.100 We don't know.

00:47:36.760 If this same thing was happening to Elena Kagan, I would have said exactly the same thing.

00:47:42.200 It's just too suspicious.

00:47:44.880 It's too suspicious.

00:47:45.740 But again, if you are going to be a person who, after 36 years, is going to come forward

00:47:50.800 with a claim that has zero support of evidence, the only thing we have is his word against

00:47:56.020 yours.

00:47:56.300 And it's a terrible way to decide this.

00:47:57.860 But if you're going to do that, you have to at least supply your word.

00:48:01.560 You have to believe.

00:48:02.720 If this is going to do anything, you have to show up to this thing and tell your story.

00:48:08.060 It's a terrible way to run a country to have 30 multiple, you know, 36 years later, have

00:48:14.580 two people go on stage and do a little performance art.

00:48:17.320 And we all have to figure out which one we like more.

00:48:19.620 That's a terrible way to run a legal system.

00:48:21.420 No, it's impossible.

00:48:22.340 But you have to at least provide that part of it if it's going to do anything at all.

00:48:25.720 You know, what's amazing is how the Democrats now are saying they want to make sure that

00:48:30.300 innocent people aren't going to jail.

00:48:32.040 There are so many people in jail.

00:48:33.480 So many people have been wrongly accused that have gone through our system.

00:48:39.000 So they're they're making this case now.

00:48:41.920 And and I think rightfully so.

00:48:44.460 I mean, I think there are people on the right and the left that agree with that.

00:48:48.000 They went through the system.

00:48:51.160 So at the same time they're arguing that they're saying, oh, by the way, we shouldn't even have

00:48:54.660 the system.

00:48:55.540 We should, you know, let's have the FBI do something that they don't do.

00:48:59.380 And let's just bring these people up and let's see which one performs better.

00:49:02.380 Let's see which one's believable, which one's not.

00:49:05.800 And let's convict a man, whether he goes to jail.

00:49:09.220 He's not going to jail.

00:49:10.440 Let's convict him.

00:49:11.920 Let's all call him a rapist, even though that's not even the charge.

00:49:18.420 Does anybody remember what the charge was of Anita Hill against Clarence Thomas?

00:49:23.920 What did she charge?

00:49:25.900 More in a second.

00:49:27.520 Simply save home security, a great home security system.

00:49:30.360 If you are looking to protect your family, protect your stuff in your house.

00:49:34.460 I mean, you know, what are you going to do?

00:49:36.780 You can hire, you know, Brinks or whoever, and they can come out and they'll come out

00:49:42.580 and they'll sell you something.

00:49:43.660 And I swear to you that you will chew your own arm off to get away from those.

00:49:47.120 You'll sign anything.

00:49:48.280 Just get out of my house, please.

00:49:50.320 Then what happens is they sign you to a long contract.

00:49:54.700 You don't own the system and you're going to be paying about 50 bucks a month for your

00:49:59.080 security.

00:49:59.920 Well, that's crazy.

00:50:34.900 you've you know, you're freaking out.

00:50:58.760 Glenn back.

00:51:02.600 All right.

00:51:06.640 What is what does the average person know about Anita Hill, this champion for all women and

00:51:16.320 Clarence Thomas?

00:51:17.820 I contend that they don't know anything about it and that they look at Clarence Thomas through

00:51:26.600 the lens of today.

00:51:29.380 They're like, oh, he's Harvey Weinstein.

00:51:34.600 He was, you know, hitting on women, everything.

00:51:37.420 OK.

00:51:37.960 All right.

00:51:38.260 The charge was that he made inappropriate jokes to Anita Hill.

00:51:44.600 She was the only one.

00:51:46.200 Now, this was the scandal in the 1980s.

00:51:50.300 This was the scandal.

00:51:52.180 And it's the 1980s.

00:51:53.480 Not today.

00:51:53.980 It's the 1980s.

00:51:55.080 It's practically Mad Men time.

00:51:58.200 OK.

00:51:58.900 When nobody had a problem making inappropriate jokes.

00:52:04.200 I don't think Clarence Thomas is that man.

00:52:08.040 Clarence Thomas, there is nothing in his life that shows that he's that kind of guy.

00:52:12.840 But the thing was, you know, a piece of his hair was on a Coke can and and he apparently

00:52:22.140 said, yeah, that's the pubic hair.

00:52:25.280 Oh, the humanity.

00:52:27.960 OK, that was how shocking, how shocked we were back then.

00:52:35.380 That was it.

00:52:36.620 Now, here is what Clarence Thomas said to defend himself in that hearing.

00:52:43.160 Listen, I think that this today is a travesty.

00:52:48.940 I think that it is disgusting.

00:52:51.460 I think that this hearing should never occur in America.

00:52:58.900 This is a case in which this sleaze, this dirt, was searched for by staffers of members of

00:53:09.340 this committee, was then leaked to the media, and this committee and this body validated it

00:53:21.940 and displayed it at prime time over our entire nation.

00:53:29.320 How would any member on this committee, any person in this room, or any person in this country

00:53:38.000 would like sleaze said about him or her in this fashion?

00:53:44.880 Or this dirt dredged up in this gossip and these lies displayed in this manner?

00:53:51.420 How would any person like it?

00:53:54.400 The Supreme Court is not worth it.

00:53:57.840 No job is worth it.

00:54:00.640 I'm not here for that.

00:54:02.220 I'm here for my name, my family, my life, and my integrity.

00:54:09.720 I think something is dreadfully wrong with this country when any person, any person in this

00:54:16.720 free country would be subjected to this.

00:54:19.140 This is not a closed room.

00:54:21.740 There was an FBI investigation.

00:54:25.320 This is not an opportunity to talk about difficult matters privately or in a closed environment.

00:54:35.280 This is a circus.

00:54:36.720 It's a national disgrace.

00:54:38.140 That was 1991.

00:54:44.000 Could have said it today.

00:54:46.480 The same people, the same tactics.

00:54:52.480 Is this who we want to be?

00:54:54.180 Is this the way to get good people to accept a nomination to the Supreme Court?

00:55:08.200 Somebody asks you, you want to be on the Supreme Court?

00:55:11.780 You have anything in your life, anything.

00:55:15.240 No, you're Jesus.

00:55:17.420 Tell me the difference between the trial of Jesus and what they're putting people through

00:55:26.240 in Washington, D.C.

00:55:28.820 They can say anything.

00:55:31.260 Why didn't Jesus answer?

00:55:33.900 I knew there'd be turned around on him anyway.

00:55:37.020 His answer didn't matter.

00:55:38.320 Well, you say that I am.

00:55:45.320 You want to be the sacrificial lamb?

00:55:47.820 You want to be the person that your children will read about?

00:55:51.880 Your grandchildren will read about?

00:55:53.920 That you were a sexual predator?

00:55:56.460 And there was nothing.

00:55:59.920 The winners are the progressives when it comes to the universities.

00:56:05.060 They are rewriting history right now.

00:56:09.200 They're the ones that are going to write this history.

00:56:11.800 Brett Kavanaugh will be known by his great-grandchildren long after he's dead,

00:56:16.820 whenever they look him up, as a sexual predator.

00:56:21.520 You want that?

00:56:22.500 And this coming from the same group of people.

00:56:29.420 I mean, I'm telling you, we are at a point where somebody with decency is going to stand up and say,

00:56:38.420 Senator, have you no shame?

00:56:44.280 These are the people using the same tactics that they did during the McCarthy hearings.

00:56:49.220 These people have a lower approval rating than gonorrhea.

00:56:57.020 5% more of the population think that we never went to the moon than think these guys are good.

00:57:12.040 All right.

00:57:13.320 I want to give you an update.

00:57:14.480 Yesterday, we talked a little bit about the Solar Spot Observatory.

00:57:18.440 It's a story that had been closed down.

00:57:21.040 If you're not familiar with the story, in a nutshell, it's a story about how this national observatory

00:57:30.580 that is right by white planes, very, very isolated, had a black helicopter show up and the FBI,

00:57:38.540 and they raided the place.

00:57:39.880 Now, nobody knows why.

00:57:41.680 And they said, everybody's got to get out.

00:57:43.500 Some of the people called in and called the sheriff and said, hey, can you please come and just witness this?

00:57:49.100 Because we don't really know what's going on.

00:57:50.820 No explanation was given.

00:57:53.520 Then we find out later that they've evacuated this whole area, including the neighborhoods around it.

00:58:01.700 People who just lived in the area.

00:58:03.860 They were asked to leave.

00:58:06.660 Now, there was, you know, well, it's solar activity.

00:58:10.680 We're all going to die.

00:58:12.220 Or that's because they spotted aliens and the government's covering up.

00:58:18.000 I don't believe either of those.

00:58:19.460 It just doesn't work.

00:58:21.740 Why did the FBI raid this place?

00:58:26.900 When they should be looking into high school, you know, rapists.

00:58:31.980 Why did the FBI raid this place?

00:58:34.760 And how was a black helicopter involved?

00:58:37.740 You don't just, you know, it's just like, hey, Bill, can I take the black helicopter for this?

00:58:41.440 No.

00:58:43.260 That's not a tool of the FBI.

00:58:45.120 That's military.

00:58:46.940 So why was the black helicopter involved?

00:58:49.920 Okay, so yesterday they come out with a story and they say, hey, it was just that, you know, there was a guy up there doing some really bad things and it put a lot of people in danger.

00:59:00.940 And we wanted to make sure that they didn't find out about it.

00:59:05.260 That's why we haven't released the information.

00:59:07.340 Well, what do you mean you didn't want them to find out about it?

00:59:11.280 You have a black helicopter.

00:59:12.940 If I'm doing something bad and the FBI shows up and a black helicopter, I think I'm pretty clear they might be on to me.

00:59:21.360 Unless the black helicopter and the FBI are coming after a lot of different people.

00:59:26.240 If I'm surrounded by, you know, if I'm in a prison and we're all trying to escape, maybe I don't think that's about me.

00:59:34.280 But if I'm with scientists and I'm doing something illegal and involves national security, I'm pretty sure they're on to me.

00:59:44.640 So it just didn't make sense.

00:59:46.040 So a Silicon Valley friend of mine.

00:59:51.580 Writes to me last night, he's a he's a he's a tech type, very, very smart.

00:59:58.540 He says, Glenn, I want to give you my observation on this on this story, said, I want to make it clear.

01:00:03.020 This is just a guess, but here's how all the pieces fit together, at least in my head.

01:00:08.000 Someone, maybe China or Russia, was using this observatory to pick up a signal with the help of someone at the observatory.

01:00:18.080 You can't smuggle that out on a thumb drive.

01:00:20.780 It's too slow and inefficient.

01:00:22.200 You can't send it out on their Internet pipe because it would be discovered in a second.

01:00:26.480 You can't send it out on cellular because that would get picked up, too.

01:00:30.020 But what you could do is a short local hop that can't get detected outside of the area to somewhere very, very secluded in private.

01:00:41.900 Then that person can send it out on a VPN wherever they want.

01:00:46.660 Now, remember, the story is, is that the FBI, they came, they shut everything down and then they started climbing up on the antennas.

01:00:55.020 So what are they looking for on the antennas?

01:00:57.620 This scenario makes sense that someone was taking information and transmitting it out on a very, very low power, almost like a Bluetooth thing in a way, sending out very low power, which would leave the compound of the observatory, but then go to some house in the general area.

01:01:21.140 Well, now that explains why they would get rid of everybody in the houses, and it explains the black helicopters.

01:01:29.560 If you think this through, they shut it down.

01:01:33.400 They want to see what was connected to the antenna or how this person was getting, you know, getting the information out.

01:01:39.880 Then you shut down the entire neighborhood and you keep everybody out until you've checked to see if there's a receiver in the area.

01:01:50.080 You want to make sure that somebody doesn't stay behind and destroy the receiver.

01:01:55.720 So why the Blackhawk?

01:01:59.440 Because the Blackhawk was doing patterns over the neighborhood.

01:02:04.700 Is it possible they were looking with infrared to check for people staying behind?

01:02:11.820 This one actually makes sense to me.

01:02:16.280 What actually happened, we don't know.

01:02:20.140 Who's responsible at this point?

01:02:23.200 We don't know.

01:02:25.000 But at least, at least this theory is beginning to make sense.

01:02:38.140 So I don't know if you've seen, but while Maduro, the president of Venezuela, was having dinner the other day, he solved the economic problems of Venezuela.

01:02:53.740 Now, he was out having a steak.

01:02:57.100 This steak cost him $235.

01:03:03.200 Now, that's not because of inflation.

01:03:05.320 Those are American dollars.

01:03:08.940 He paid $234 for a steak for him in a restaurant.

01:03:18.100 I think I know what you're saying.

01:03:19.100 You're saying good for him.

01:03:20.860 Take a moment after your incredible leadership and rise from a normal, everyday bus driver to these heights of leading this incredible, glorious socialist revolution.

01:03:32.240 Reward yourself.

01:03:33.760 People are literally eating doctors, lawyers.

01:03:38.460 Wait, they're eating doctors and lawyers?

01:03:40.060 No.

01:03:40.700 Doctors and lawyers.

01:03:42.160 People who are very successful and wealthy are having one meal a day, and many people are eating cats, dogs.

01:03:50.860 They've already eaten the animals in the zoo, and they're down to now rats that the people are eating.

01:03:56.520 Huge amounts of people have left as well.

01:03:59.400 Millions.

01:04:00.520 Many of them, doctors and lawyers, going to other islands and becoming sex workers.

01:04:07.020 Hundreds of thousands, by the way, have come to the United States in this process as well.

01:04:11.440 Hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans escaping that regime have come here.

01:04:16.580 And they've gone all over the hemisphere, really.

01:04:21.340 And it's terrifying.

01:04:22.980 And it's so amazing to look at how far we've come so fast.

01:04:27.480 It is not that long ago that people like Sean Penn were visiting and praising Hugo Chavez, Danny Glover, Michael Moore.

01:04:37.520 These people who were telling us that this was the future and that our experiment was failing compared to theirs.

01:04:48.780 And it was a very common conception.

01:04:50.720 I think we have a montage.

01:04:52.100 This one came from Mike, Sarah, I think, audio montage about some of the comments from Venezuela from a few years back.

01:04:58.100 Listen to some of these.

01:04:59.020 Venezuelans head to the polls this Sunday and President Hugo Chavez is almost certain to win re-election.

01:05:05.200 He's apparently as popular at home as he is unpopular with so many people in this country.

01:05:10.180 He's made Venezuelans feel proud to be Venezuelan again.

01:05:14.420 And that is something I think that really no other leader has ever done in that country before.

01:05:20.940 In fact, they were doing the opposite.

01:05:22.240 Here we go in Venezuela in 2002.

01:05:24.960 If we had succeeded in Iraq, I do believe that Mr. Chavez would have been under even more pressure.

01:05:30.880 It's the most colorful media.

01:05:33.300 You can say anything you want in Venezuela.

01:05:35.660 They have a better election process than we have.

01:05:37.640 Juan Fugo Chavez is a thorn in the side of the U.S., but polls in Venezuela show that that's going to continue.

01:05:44.660 He is one of the most important forces we've had on this planet.

01:05:48.800 And I will wish him nothing but that great strength he has shown over and over again.

01:05:56.560 I do it in love and I do it in gratitude.

01:05:59.580 My friend, President Chavez.

01:06:01.560 Made headlines when he stood before the United Nations and told President Bush the devil.

01:06:09.080 I didn't plan to call him a devil, but it came from my heart.

01:06:13.380 And if it comes from my heart, then that's because for me, it's true.

01:06:17.020 Well, no one else is Hugo Chavez.

01:06:19.440 There's not two Hugo Chavez's in the world, never mind in Venezuela.

01:06:23.580 Thank God.

01:06:24.560 Now, remember, there was, you remember how much they loved that whole devil thing?

01:06:29.340 They loved that.

01:06:30.860 They loved that Bush was, it smelled of sulfur.

01:06:33.980 Remember this?

01:06:34.780 And, you know, people were making trips down there and praising this regime and the system behind it.

01:06:41.220 That was only, you know, 10 years ago or less.

01:06:44.140 Some of those quotes were even more recent than that.

01:06:47.060 In fact, if you go back and you look at popular culture, you will see, as we will show you here, in the show Parks and Recreation, there was a whole episode that was building the economy of Venezuela up.

01:07:05.580 Yeah, and denigrating us.

01:07:07.300 The concept was, and it's a funny show, and it was a funny episode, but it was, the concept was the Parks and Rec Department had the Parks and Rec Department from Venezuela, their sister city, some city in Venezuela, come visit them.

01:07:18.040 And, you know, it was just one of these dumb government things.

01:07:21.240 And it was interesting to see, because you saw the streams they went down with the comedy.

01:07:26.880 They were militaristic, they were chauvinistic, they were, you know, dismissive.

01:07:31.420 But one of the big threads was how great it was in Venezuela as compared to the United States.

01:07:37.040 They couldn't believe how bad it was in the United States because Venezuela was so good.

01:07:41.460 Listen to this.

01:07:42.140 This is only from a few years ago.

01:07:44.280 This is, let's start with, Venezuela doesn't have budget issues.

01:07:49.500 Now, think of the state of affairs down there right now.

01:07:53.220 This is how this was being portrayed to the American public just a few years ago.

01:07:56.420 Listen.

01:07:57.120 I'm trying to turn a giant dirt pit into a community park, but I need $35,000.

01:08:02.780 The city doesn't have enough money in its budget.

01:08:05.540 I do not understand.

01:08:07.300 You've never had a budget shortage?

01:08:13.600 No, listen to this Marxist philosophy.

01:08:15.680 Venezuela is blessed with massive oil reserves.

01:08:18.260 Massive.

01:08:18.800 I mean, tremendous.

01:08:19.440 True.

01:08:19.560 It's like you do not believe.

01:08:21.200 The state sells the oil and it keeps all the money and we build whatever we want.

01:08:27.580 Wow.

01:08:28.240 Well, now I do not understand.

01:08:35.380 I feel like my English was very clear.

01:08:38.120 Can I repeat?

01:08:39.280 Venezuela, Venezuela, my country, has a lot of oil.

01:08:43.600 Oil is food for cars.

01:08:45.520 The Venezuelans are very confident people.

01:08:48.020 So, again, like, they've never faced a budget crisis.

01:08:51.600 They don't even understand it.

01:08:53.320 Remember, Venezuela, when we were going through a heating oil crisis,

01:08:59.920 Venezuela, through the Kennedys, if you remember right,

01:09:03.420 were giving the United States free oil for poor communities in the Northeast.

01:09:12.580 And it was all from Sitco.

01:09:15.300 Kennedy was doing commercials for the Venezuelan government, basically,

01:09:21.040 propaganda to say how much they were helping us.

01:09:25.160 Here's another clip from Parks and Rec.

01:09:27.100 This is when the delegate comes after their town called Pawnee.

01:09:30.140 We are also sister cities with Kaesong, North Korea.

01:09:35.080 Their town is far nicer.

01:09:36.940 We haven't been here for a very long time,

01:09:38.300 but what we have seen is really, from the bottom of our hearts, truly depressing.

01:09:43.000 Really, really sad stuff.

01:09:44.360 It's funny because Antonio said to me,

01:09:46.280 can we turn this car around and say we're sick or something or that we lost our way?

01:09:50.680 Of course, that would be rude to you.

01:09:52.480 All right, and this is, they actually go to visit the park.

01:09:57.600 Now, the concept of the show at the beginning is there's this big pit, dirt pit,

01:10:01.040 and she wants to turn it into a park.

01:10:02.540 So she brings the Venezuelan delegation, not to the dirt pit,

01:10:07.360 but to a very nice park in America.

01:10:10.100 Here's that clip.

01:10:11.120 Here we are.

01:10:12.080 Take it in, boys.

01:10:13.560 This is an embarrassment to America.

01:10:15.300 I'm sorry?

01:10:16.100 You are right to want to correct this.

01:10:17.960 Correct what?

01:10:18.780 This is the giant pit of dirt you were telling us about, is it, no?

01:10:22.280 The one you want to turn into a park?

01:10:24.600 No, no.

01:10:26.140 This is already a park, and it's one of our best-loved parks.

01:10:29.580 Why are the trees so small?

01:10:31.940 They're not that small.

01:10:33.880 Besides, size doesn't matter.

01:10:36.060 Yes, it does.

01:10:37.600 Our trees are huge.

01:10:39.280 We build tunnels through them.

01:10:40.580 The parks in Barajo are far superior.

01:10:43.520 The park in my hometown, Parque del Este, we have a monorail, and we have an aquarium.

01:10:50.280 The Haripa Amphitheater is huge.

01:10:52.400 Lady Gaga played there last week.

01:10:54.140 Great.

01:10:54.540 Well, we don't have Lady Gaga, and I don't think she's going to come here unless her career

01:10:59.400 takes a very bad turn.

01:11:01.080 But we have something more beautiful than Lady Gaga.

01:11:03.980 Democracy.

01:11:05.980 Right.

01:11:07.160 Right.

01:11:07.580 But let's make sure that everyone knows that the Marxism and the utopia, the socialist utopia

01:11:16.560 that is Venezuela is thriving while we are not.

01:11:23.260 Until they're not.

01:11:24.640 Just a few short years later, and no one is being held accountable for their shower of praise

01:11:36.580 for Hugo Chavez and the plan of bringing Venezuela into the leadership of the world.

01:11:46.560 Sponsor this half hour, American Finance.

01:11:49.500 As summer fades to fall, recent market shifts could bring homebuyers a leg up on the latter

01:11:54.580 part of the year.

01:11:55.140 If you're still looking for a home, now is really the time to buy.

01:12:01.400 The inventory of homes now has risen 5.7%, meaning there are more homes out there.

01:12:09.140 And this slight change gives you, as a buyer, less competition.

01:12:16.980 And everybody's eager to get to the closing table before the holidays, so it's going to give

01:12:21.620 a serious buyer more leverage.

01:13:15.140 You know, we failed to mention the upside, as, you know, conservatives usually do.

01:13:24.340 Only give you one side on Venezuela.

01:13:26.700 I, you know, I told you about, you know, the Venezuelan people, you know, only eating

01:13:31.220 one meal a day if they're lucky.

01:13:32.800 Some people are eating animals and et cetera, et cetera.

01:13:36.520 But they have fixed it.

01:13:38.340 Maduro did fix this by raising the minimum wage.

01:13:41.620 He raised it 3,000%.

01:13:45.100 That fixes the problem.

01:13:47.160 Also put 40% of all businesses out of business overnight.

01:14:00.660 people standing in the way.

01:14:08.640 On tour this fall.

01:14:11.620 Glenn Beck.

01:14:13.640 You know, on yesterday's program, we told you about the algorithms now that can predict

01:14:17.720 if you're white.

01:14:19.960 And it was things like, you know, you buy English muffins and you own a flashlight means you're

01:14:24.460 white.

01:14:25.420 If you don't have a pet, 60% chance you're white.

01:14:29.160 So let me ask you this.

01:14:33.480 Could we reverse this?

01:14:35.860 If someone were to suggest that one segment of society might be more predisposed to speak

01:14:42.380 loudly during a movie or frequent red lobster, would you be deemed racist?

01:14:49.540 If so, what's the difference here?

01:14:56.680 Does it do any good to ignore data and facts?

01:15:00.840 Let's say I'm a business and I want to make a video and I want it to appeal to a broad swath

01:15:07.040 of customers.

01:15:08.660 Well, now I'm not going to show people making English muffins in a toaster, right?

01:15:15.020 That's good to know.

01:15:19.300 But is it okay to do this now?

01:15:23.040 Could we ask the tech companies and academia, are we doing stereotypes now?

01:15:28.040 Is there something that, you know, is there a newsletter that can be sent out every day

01:15:35.020 that, you know, can keep me abreast on what's okay and what's not okay?

01:15:39.200 Is it okay for Facebook to make money running ads to people who like English muffins or to

01:15:46.160 sell ads just targeting males?

01:15:51.280 Now you're in business, you want to appeal to males because you know they buy your product

01:15:57.360 or you're, you're an employer and you want to target females because they're the most

01:16:03.020 likely to do this job.

01:16:04.920 Is it okay to do that?

01:16:09.940 Yesterday, ACLU filed a charge with the EEOC alleging that Facebook violated labor and civil

01:16:19.040 rights laws by allowing employers to target ads to mostly younger men to the

01:16:27.260 exclusion of mostly older women.

01:16:30.640 And of course, that, uh, ever wonderful gender non-binary job seeker.

01:16:38.480 So what was the ad?

01:16:40.500 Well, one of them was an ad, uh, from a roofer from a company called enhanced roofing and remodeling.

01:16:47.700 And it was targeted to men 23 to 50 in silver Springs, Maryland.

01:16:51.740 Okay.

01:16:54.440 Now, if you're trying to hire a roofer, odds are, I mean, I'm sure there is the odd old

01:17:01.740 lady that does want to get up on the roof and do roofing in the summer in Maryland.

01:17:06.040 But should I be forced to advertise to try to find that one old lady that still wants to

01:17:16.000 do roofing?

01:17:16.680 Cause it reminds her of her childhood or should I target the people with the money that I have

01:17:24.020 that I believe.

01:17:26.380 And I generally know through data are the ones that are going to take that roofing job.

01:17:33.220 If you work on an oil rig in the Yukon, can you tell me why I should have to pay to advertise

01:17:39.500 to elderly old ladies?

01:17:40.900 If I'm on Broadway and I need somebody to, you know, uh, in the chorus line, should I, should

01:17:53.180 I be required to advertise, to appeal to old elderly men?

01:18:00.200 I mean, cause I'm sure there's an old elderly man out there that wants to be in the chorus

01:18:04.580 line.

01:18:04.900 We've gone insane.

01:18:13.200 We've gone insane.

01:18:16.700 And all of this chaos is deconstruction.

01:18:21.740 All of this is just to make it impossible for the Western way of life to actually function.

01:18:29.980 What happens if we, if, if, uh, you know, if, if, if you do have to advertise to people that

01:18:38.960 are not generally speaking, interested in your product, companies can't afford to advertise

01:18:48.120 capitalism breaks down.

01:18:52.420 And that is the goal.

01:18:54.620 And so we get mad about it and we start because we don't know what else to do.

01:19:01.700 Okay.

01:19:03.620 All right.

01:19:04.780 I shouldn't get mad about it, but somebody's got to stop it.

01:19:09.900 You're exactly right.

01:19:11.680 But by studying the enemy, and I mean the enemy being anyone who wants to destroy the Western

01:19:23.140 way of life and the modern world, math, science, reason, yes, they are the enemy.

01:19:32.320 How do we identify them?

01:19:34.340 What stops us from identifying and what tactics do they use?

01:19:42.600 That's where we begin this hour.

01:19:50.600 It's Wednesday, September 19th.

01:19:53.300 You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

01:19:55.540 Okay.

01:19:57.180 So where did all of this, where did all of this outrage come from?

01:20:04.760 Because it's, it's, it's, it's, it's truly a brilliant system that has flipped this thing

01:20:12.380 upside down and made the conservatives look like the angry ones.

01:20:18.200 Okay.

01:20:18.980 That we're the ones that have started this outrage.

01:20:22.940 No, no, no, we're not.

01:20:26.440 Because you have to look at what kind of outrage people are expressing every day.

01:20:32.740 Just on today's program, we have talked about how many different stories do that are not

01:20:40.380 outrageous, beginning with Bert and Ernie are gay and Frank Oz, the guy who designed and

01:20:49.380 created Bert and Ernie saying, no, they're not.

01:20:52.720 They're just good friends.

01:20:53.700 They, they are two people that I put together that I made out of felt.

01:20:59.740 I want to remind you that are like the odd couple.

01:21:02.960 They're two people that don't agree, but it teaches kids that we can live together side

01:21:08.100 by side.

01:21:09.220 Well, that's not good enough.

01:21:10.620 People were outraged yesterday when he said this, they must be gay.

01:21:17.580 Wow.

01:21:19.140 That seems pretty worthless.

01:21:21.720 They're puppets.

01:21:23.120 Is that real outrage?

01:21:26.820 Is that coming from the left or from the right?

01:21:30.280 Well, that's coming from the left, right?

01:21:32.180 The outrage is coming from the left.

01:21:33.760 Okay.

01:21:33.980 And so how do we respond?

01:21:37.880 Usually either laughing very hard at them or, you know, getting a little angry at the

01:21:45.560 way the world is turning into insanity.

01:21:47.580 Okay.

01:21:48.860 How, how effective has been laughing at them?

01:21:52.520 How effective has that been?

01:21:53.920 It feels good.

01:21:55.020 Feels good.

01:21:55.540 How effective has it been?

01:21:56.960 It doesn't change a lot of minds.

01:21:58.740 No, it doesn't change anything.

01:22:00.160 In fact, they don't care.

01:22:02.020 They don't care.

01:22:03.100 We, by us dismissing this and saying, you know, it's just a bunch of few crazies.

01:22:08.800 Look at how a few crazies have changed the world.

01:22:11.940 We just laugh and say they're pathetic.

01:22:13.880 They're ridiculous.

01:22:14.620 There's just a few of them.

01:22:15.900 And there are just a few of them.

01:22:18.240 This is just a very powerful group of people, but it's very small.

01:22:23.060 We laughed at them.

01:22:24.280 We dismissed them and look where we are now.

01:22:26.440 So now we've been pushed to the wall and we get angry, but let's look at outrage here

01:22:33.280 for a second.

01:22:33.920 And this is part of the book that was released yesterday.

01:22:37.040 I urge you to pick it up for you and a friend addicted to outrage.

01:22:40.540 Let's just look at, at the, the three different or four different kinds of outrage.

01:22:46.540 There were actually three.

01:22:47.720 It leads to the fourth outrage that signals virtue.

01:22:53.120 It says chapter three, one of the most effective ways to demonstrate one's own social value

01:23:01.160 is by wearing the trappings of outrage on behalf of others, especially if the others

01:23:06.160 are in a minority social group, the earlier you are and the more loudly you demonstrate

01:23:11.680 that you're outraged, that some or another group has been wronged.

01:23:15.520 The more virtue you demonstrate, got it?

01:23:21.000 If you, if you want to build yourself up, if you want to be popular, all you have to do

01:23:27.600 is signal virtue.

01:23:30.320 And that requires you to be the leader and the most loud list, the, the, the, the most, uh,

01:23:37.560 a, uh, loud voice in the room next outrage as a shield.

01:23:49.200 Another reason why it's effective is because it acts as a shield from judgment.

01:23:55.780 If you are morally outraged, it functions as a mechanism to protect the purveyors of the outrage

01:24:05.500 against any evaluation of their own actions, tactics, honesty, or morality.

01:24:11.560 Now think of this.

01:24:14.680 Use, uh, uh, Brett Kavanaugh.

01:24:16.780 The people who are outraged that the Republicans could just go on and dismiss this woman.

01:24:29.180 They are so outraged that Brett Kavanaugh might or might not have done this.

01:24:36.560 It stops any charges of saying, wait a minute, this is, this is immoral what you're doing.

01:24:44.420 Don't you talk to me about morality.

01:24:46.780 I don't see you standing up for the woman, right?

01:24:50.540 So it acts as a shield.

01:24:52.980 If you are outraged, the outrage excuses you from having to tell the truth or exhibiting

01:25:00.700 any moral behavior.

01:25:01.940 It just opens up the runway.

01:25:06.980 Next outrage as a weapon.

01:25:09.820 Outrage is also an exceptional weapon that can pierce the armor of nearly any foe.

01:25:14.660 It's like a bow with three magically tipped arrows.

01:25:18.420 Shame, guilt, and fear.

01:25:20.940 Moral outrage expressed against opponents can strike them with any one or all three of these

01:25:27.280 instruments at any given time.

01:25:28.880 The instant that someone outside of your tribe slips up, says or does something that you think

01:25:36.400 has the slightest chance to, to work to your advantage.

01:25:40.680 If you can paint them as insensitive, racist, politically incorrect, outdated, judgmental,

01:25:46.580 insulting to a protected class or group, that person has opened up the opportunity to attack

01:25:52.120 with a weapon that they cannot possibly resist.

01:25:56.240 So look at this again.

01:25:58.280 What happened?

01:25:59.860 Signaling virtue.

01:26:01.740 Outrage won.

01:26:02.520 I cannot believe, I cannot believe Brett Kavanaugh wants to take away birth control and he's

01:26:12.240 a guy who has raped a woman.

01:26:16.280 And if you don't see this, you are a bad human being.

01:26:21.660 Wait a minute.

01:26:22.120 Wait a minute.

01:26:22.640 He's not going to take away birth control.

01:26:24.340 Are you telling me that you're supporting the guy who, you have no sympathy for this woman

01:26:31.500 who has come to the table?

01:26:33.540 You have no sympathy.

01:26:35.040 You are so hard hearted that you can't see her plight.

01:26:39.600 That is shield from a moral judgment.

01:26:44.740 But it also is, I'm going to inflict fear into you.

01:26:51.340 I'm going to drive fear deeply into you by shaming you, by guilting you, by calling you

01:26:59.080 out.

01:26:59.540 So now there's two targets.

01:27:01.320 Now there is Brett Kavanaugh and you.

01:27:06.400 And you can't do anything about it because they have the arrows of shame, guilt, and fear.

01:27:12.800 And they have the shield.

01:27:14.840 And they have already projected themselves to the world as the knight in shining armor.

01:27:23.920 So, first thing we have to do, before you look to dismantle it, you have to understand

01:27:31.860 what happens to the person that is doing that.

01:27:36.180 What happens to the person that is addicted to outrage in the way that I've just described?

01:27:44.280 Now, see if this doesn't fit the way you look and understand or feel about the left.

01:27:50.760 And I probably would assume that they feel this way about us.

01:27:54.320 What happens to that person?

01:27:59.420 Who are they after they've used all three of those tactics of outrage?

01:28:05.580 I'll describe that person and tell me it's not spot on the money in a minute.

01:28:12.320 July 2017, Bitcoin down 40%.

01:28:23.820 Bitcoin and cryptocurrency expert Tika Tuari came in.

01:28:27.740 He's with the Palm Beach Letter.

01:28:29.420 He came in with an announcement.

01:28:30.680 He said, oh, they're going to bring enormous amounts of money into Bitcoin.

01:28:34.180 Now, Bitcoin was trading at about $18.50 and it was falling.

01:28:38.500 And he said, Bitcoin's going to hit $10,000 by the end of the year.

01:28:41.460 And people, it was nuts.

01:28:43.500 We're in the middle of a horrific bear market.

01:28:46.100 But by the end of the year, Bitcoin hit $20,000.

01:28:49.200 Now, the same thing is happening again.

01:28:52.120 Bitcoin has lost all this money.

01:28:57.080 People are starting to say, well, I don't know if it matters.

01:28:59.420 And he comes and says, Bitcoin could be worth $40,000 or more by Christmas.

01:29:04.780 I don't see how this is going to happen, but he stands by it.

01:29:07.760 He says there's a big jump coming and he can lay out the reasons why.

01:29:15.400 Well, you should probably know those reasons why and you should know what it is.

01:29:19.680 And even $100 in Bitcoin is a very smart thing because this is like, I don't know.

01:29:26.060 I think it's bigger than AT&T 1920.

01:29:28.140 You know, it's bigger than that.

01:29:31.420 This is, you know, bigger than almost investing in plastics in 1920 or 1930.

01:29:38.660 Because cryptocurrency, I believe, is the future.

01:29:42.860 Blockchain is the future.

01:29:45.320 Well, what are those things?

01:29:47.360 May I suggest you take a course?

01:29:49.380 We asked Tika to develop a course just for you to explain these things.

01:29:53.360 Everybody should take this course.

01:29:54.920 It's smartcryptocourse.com.

01:30:00.260 Smartcryptocourse.com.

01:30:01.460 Take it now or call 877-PBL-BECK.

01:30:04.620 877-PBL-BECK or smartcryptocourse.com.

01:30:14.160 All right.

01:30:16.000 So outrage first signals virtue.

01:30:20.080 Next, it shields that person from any moral judgment themselves.

01:30:25.620 And it provides the greatest weapon that can pierce anyone who disagrees.

01:30:31.280 But here's what it does to the person using outrage as this tool.

01:30:37.780 Listen to this.

01:30:38.780 This is page 22 of Addicted to Outrage.

01:30:43.320 By far, the most destructive aspect of outrage addiction is that over time, it tends to overtake and replace the addict's identity.

01:30:54.080 They surrender the responsibility of developing a caring, rational human persona.

01:31:01.480 Hallmarks of genuine and healthy human personalities tend to be smothered below a facade of impulsive, manic, emotional responses driven by the addiction.

01:31:11.760 Rather than actual empathy for the misfortune or suffering of others, addicts respond with oversized and obnoxious levels of self-righteous indignation,

01:31:23.040 always scattering blame against the alleged perpetrators of the crime, against some victims or against humanity itself.

01:31:30.440 Rather than quiet, reasoned introspection, addicts instead make a grossly obvious grand spectacle of their sympathy and protestations that bespeaks their inner disquiet and self-loathing.

01:31:45.600 Wrongdoers didn't simply make a mistake.

01:31:48.100 They've acted in a subhuman manner and must be castigated from the tribe, fully and wholly shamed in the public square, ostracized from the group and ultimately destroyed.

01:31:59.300 Only this victory will fill the void, the hole that has been left in the moral outrage addict, the hole left by the absence of an actual human soul.

01:32:12.560 This is why outrage addiction is so dangerous to our culture and to mankind.

01:32:17.180 It deprives human beings of genuine humanity, replacing it instead with an outwardly facing caricature of the virtuous human being wrapped around a rotting corpse.

01:32:31.440 Look, it's not that all outrage is wrong all the time.

01:32:34.980 There are times, of course, when outrage is perfectly appropriate and reasonable as a response to actions we see in others.

01:32:41.620 As with any addiction, the problem is not the chemical or the behavior itself of the addiction.

01:32:50.300 America isn't having an opioid crisis because opioids are inherently bad or evil.

01:32:55.340 It's the abuse and the involuntary need of the object of the addiction.

01:33:01.000 The unhealthy dependence upon the thing in order to feel or to function expressing moral outrage has become the automatic, compulsive response to anything that we see or hear that challenges our tribe's beliefs and instantly and automatically supports the outrage of others is even more important.

01:33:22.780 That's the concerning thing.

01:33:25.440 Moral outrage is simultaneously a badge of honor and a shield against any objective judgment, and that makes it destructive and divisive.

01:33:37.640 Outrage addiction has replaced constructive dialogue and suppressed genuine empathy and warmness.

01:33:43.580 It's no wonder suicide has become the 10th leading cause of death in America, because we don't have any authentic conversations anymore, or express actual sympathy when others are suffering or being abused.

01:33:59.060 We only express outrage instead.

01:34:03.440 Find out the key and the cure.

01:34:06.400 Addicted to Outrage.

01:34:07.520 Available everywhere now.

01:34:11.940 Welcome to it.

01:34:12.780 It is Wednesday.

01:34:14.700 We're in Los Angeles, California, which is...

01:34:17.220 Yeah, it's been interesting because we get up and get in the car, come to the studio, and it's been interesting to hear Mr. Egomaniac over here listen to his own voice, his own audio book, the entire time on the way to work.

01:34:32.460 You know, when you do 35 hours of work, it's kind of nice to listen to it to see how...

01:34:36.940 You know what I found out?

01:34:37.780 I found out, oh, this drives me crazy, and it's your fault that I'm mentioning it now.

01:34:42.780 Uh, I found out they've edited stuff out of my own book, because they...

01:34:47.820 Well, it's...

01:34:48.360 Yeah.

01:34:48.880 They did not edit stuff out of your book.

01:34:50.880 No, they added...

01:34:51.640 They edited me.

01:34:54.100 Me being me.

01:34:55.600 They edited you singing.

01:34:57.960 No.

01:34:58.420 Out of the audio book is what you're saying.

01:34:59.900 I said, there's at one point I'm talking about, you know, Lederhosen and singing Edelweiss.

01:35:05.220 And I said, so, you know, I dress up, you know, in Lederhosen, and I sing Edelweiss, Edelweiss, which makes it kind of humorous.

01:35:15.940 Mm-hmm.

01:35:16.220 And the producers in New York, uh, can you do that again and not sing?

01:35:21.640 No.

01:35:22.420 Well, we need you to recut it.

01:35:23.960 Okay.

01:35:24.960 So I dress up in, uh, Lederhosen, and I sing, Edelweiss.

01:35:31.260 They cut that line out of the book.

01:35:34.060 It's written in the book.

01:35:35.540 It's not in the audio book.

01:35:37.620 It's really...

01:35:38.420 It hacks me off.

01:35:39.300 It hacks me off.

01:35:40.100 And I know it's the only line, because that's the only line in the book they just couldn't handle for some reason or another.

01:35:45.760 Is it possible they did not like your singing voice?

01:35:48.720 Is that a consideration?

01:35:50.660 I don't know.

01:35:51.320 But the audio book is really good.

01:35:53.460 I'm really proud of it.

01:35:54.580 Yeah, and you haven't done an audio book by yourself in...

01:35:57.980 Long time.

01:35:58.740 Long time, right?

01:36:00.260 Yeah, 10 years.

01:36:00.840 Jesus.

01:36:01.200 It takes 35 hours for 15 hours of audio time.

01:36:05.080 I did...

01:36:05.640 Pat and I split up one of your audio books that we did, Arguing with Idiots, I think it was.

01:36:10.860 Yeah, me too.

01:36:11.200 And it...

01:36:12.160 Oh, my gosh.

01:36:12.960 It takes forever.

01:36:15.040 Yeah.

01:36:15.180 And they just are all over you, because...

01:36:17.380 No, they weren't with me.

01:36:18.460 With you, they let you do whatever you want, I guess.

01:36:20.740 Well, except for singing Adelweiss.

01:36:22.720 But they'd watch every word and make sure you hit every word exactly.

01:36:26.340 And it's not conversational, unless you do it by yourself, which this one is.

01:36:31.000 And it's very...

01:36:31.860 It's a different thing.

01:36:33.680 It's almost like a really extended, deep version of the radio show, where you have all the research right in front of you.

01:36:39.620 And it's really good.

01:36:40.800 It's really good.

01:36:41.720 The audio book is, I think, really good.

01:36:45.320 It's interesting.

01:36:46.580 I was listening to it this morning, and I went, hmm, that's not in the book.

01:36:49.960 Because I just read it.

01:36:53.360 You know what I mean?

01:36:54.180 But I read it...

01:36:56.000 It is really weird.

01:36:57.680 I've been in broadcast for 40 years, and I trained myself to read the line ahead.

01:37:05.040 So somebody could hand me something cold to read, and the goal was, when I was, you know, 15 years old, I would sit with a newspaper, and I would try to read the newspaper, but put it into my own words cold the first time.

01:37:21.120 So when I try to read stuff, and I do this all the time, when you hear me trying to read stuff verbatim on the air, I sound like an idiot.

01:37:29.900 I can't do it.

01:37:31.820 Because I've trained myself not to do that.

01:37:36.660 And so when I try really hard to read something verbatim, it doesn't work.

01:37:40.480 This is incredible news to me as someone who's written for you for 20 years, that you can't actually read the words written for you.

01:37:45.880 Right.

01:37:46.360 That is a news flash in my world.

01:37:48.260 But be honest, you can write stuff for me, and whenever we would have a new teleprompter person, the teleprompter, you'd have to be next to them going, move, move.

01:37:58.240 He's already just said that.

01:37:59.620 I haven't said that.

01:38:01.300 He's translated it on the fly.

01:38:03.940 Yes, on the fly.

01:38:04.920 And made up, you know, gone on a tangent.

01:38:07.280 Correct.

01:38:07.520 Yeah, exactly.

01:38:08.220 Move on.

01:38:08.460 He's already done.

01:38:09.220 He's passed that now.

01:38:10.620 Yeah.

01:38:10.940 So you get a lot extra, I guess, out of the audiobook.

01:38:13.260 If you're a person who listens to those, it's a great one to get.

01:38:15.480 Because there's a lot of, you know, you listen to the professionals do it, and not to call you unprofessional,

01:38:21.440 but like the professional audiobook readers do a great job at enunciating and the fundamentals of saying every single word perfectly.

01:38:31.100 You get into the Russians a little, it's a little dicey.

01:38:34.560 Yeah, it's a little dicey.

01:38:35.740 But I mean, there's personality in it, though.

01:38:37.200 And I think people will really like it if they like the show.

01:38:40.420 So definitely worth getting.

01:38:41.540 Okay, so there's a test in this.

01:38:44.580 And this comes from, you know, I'm an alcoholic.

01:38:48.560 And when I first started to think, you know, maybe I might have a problem.

01:38:55.900 You know, that's a pretty good sign.

01:38:57.640 And everybody in AA says, you know, if you're thinking that, you probably got a problem.

01:39:01.800 Because most people aren't like, I think I might have a problem.

01:39:04.820 I might be an alcoholic.

01:39:06.380 You're not thinking that unless you're spending a lot of the time going, I love you.

01:39:11.040 You know, you are just the greatest.

01:39:16.540 And you're the chief of police, and that's your conversation with the people in the jail.

01:39:20.660 I mean, it just, you know, you got a problem.

01:39:23.160 You start to think, hmm, I might have a problem.

01:39:25.140 So I went online, and I tried to find, is there a questionnaire that I can take that says, you know, do you think you might be an alcoholic?

01:39:36.540 Well, there is.

01:39:37.520 There's lots of tests.

01:39:38.380 So I took this test, and I wrote it.

01:39:41.320 Now, I don't want you to answer this for you.

01:39:43.520 Actually, I want you to answer this in two ways.

01:39:46.140 I want you to answer this for you, and then I want you to answer it for the left.

01:39:53.940 Or vice versa, if you're on the left.

01:39:56.560 Answer it for the other side.

01:39:59.440 Okay?

01:40:00.920 Answer these questions.

01:40:03.000 Do you, are you addicted to outrage?

01:40:07.180 One, do politics or social media occasionally make you say and do things you regret afterwards?

01:40:16.580 Answer for both sides.

01:40:18.120 The other side?

01:40:20.540 And you.

01:40:21.300 Oh, my gosh.

01:40:21.900 I mean, you know, the other side, whether they have regret or not.

01:40:25.120 Right.

01:40:25.600 It's questionable.

01:40:26.720 Right.

01:40:26.860 But, I mean, I think everybody gets in that position where they, you know, you say things, and you're like, I wish I'd put that a different way.

01:40:32.100 Yes.

01:40:32.720 Or, why did I, I got too mad, you know, yelling at my cousin over some dumb comment they said on Facebook.

01:40:38.460 Right.

01:40:38.580 Like, that happens.

01:40:39.100 Right.

01:40:39.200 Anyway, do people often recommend that you might cut down or stop consuming so much news or social media?

01:40:46.940 Married to America's number one social media user.

01:40:51.080 Yeah.

01:40:51.280 She would say yes to that because it's usually me whining about it.

01:40:54.500 Do you speak in absolutes more often than you did five years ago?

01:40:59.380 Meaning, is this group evil or is this group good?

01:41:05.780 Is this person absolutely 100% wrong and a traitor?

01:41:11.800 Is that the same way you would have referred to people five, ten years ago?

01:41:20.400 Have you avoided friends, places, or events because of politics?

01:41:26.260 Oh, man.

01:41:27.760 Yeah.

01:41:28.120 Gosh.

01:41:28.640 There's everybody.

01:41:29.940 I know tons of people who block certain people from their feed, who will avoid talking.

01:41:35.800 I mean, then you're missing all their life updates, too.

01:41:37.620 Right.

01:41:37.960 I mean, but you're just whining about politics all the time.

01:41:40.320 Shut up.

01:41:40.840 Get out of my face.

01:41:41.520 How many people have lost contact with their parents or their best friends?

01:41:46.120 Would you be disappointed if your children treated others the same way you do in your political interactions?

01:41:53.800 Wow.

01:41:54.260 Think of your five worst tweets or Facebook comments and picture your kids saying them.

01:42:01.120 And I can definitely say, I mean, can you imagine?

01:42:03.540 Think of like, you know, think of the people you see in the left that are threatening people's lives.

01:42:09.520 And here's a really good one.

01:42:10.940 Think of Debbie Wasserman Schultz when asked the question, were your children children before they were born?

01:42:19.300 I thought of that so many times.

01:42:21.540 She's on videotape.

01:42:23.220 Her children are going to get older and they're going to hear their mom not willing to answer if they were babies, if they were children when they were in her womb.

01:42:34.040 How weird is that?

01:42:35.860 Does your circle of online political allies include people that you're not completely comfortable being aligned with?

01:42:45.840 Do you does it feel great when someone attacks your political opponent?

01:42:51.040 Do you find yourself defending your political allies by pointing out the other side does the same thing?

01:42:56.960 Have you ever decided to give up social media only to fail within a few days or a few hours?

01:43:04.080 Have you defended the behavior?

01:43:07.400 You had an interview that you taped yesterday with Ben Shapiro.

01:43:11.860 Yeah.

01:43:12.220 And you talked about that particular thing.

01:43:14.520 And he said, you know, I think he said he tried to give up Twitter for one day and couldn't come close.

01:43:21.480 Yeah, couldn't come close.

01:43:22.200 Have you defended behavior in others that you would never accept in your own life or the life of your family?

01:43:29.260 Is the way you treat people online inconsistent with the way you treat people in person?

01:43:35.840 Have you often taken actions designed only to trigger the emotions of someone you have disagreed with?

01:43:41.780 So, in other words, you just said that I'm going to get you or you're trolling, right?

01:43:47.620 Or you're trolling.

01:43:48.300 And that's them controlling your life.

01:43:49.780 Yes, you're letting their reactions control.

01:43:52.060 What you do.

01:43:52.700 It's amazing because that's what the Russians are doing to all of us.

01:43:57.460 Have you said things that would have made you uncomfortable hearing someone else say five years ago?

01:44:03.600 Would your life be better without the political arguments or comments on social media?

01:44:08.460 That's fun.

01:44:09.400 Oof.

01:44:10.240 When answering these questions, did you use the importance of the political cause to justify any of the negative behavior?

01:44:18.240 That's an important one.

01:44:19.500 Have you reevaluated your standards or are you supporting and defending actions or ideas that you would have never supported just five years ago?

01:44:28.280 Do you definitely believe that all or most of the media sources on the right or the left rarely tell the truth knowingly or unknowingly and that they are dangerous and perhaps should be shut down and regulated by the government?

01:44:43.560 If you answer yes, one to five times, you might be approaching a problem.

01:44:50.500 If you answer yes, six to ten times, you got a problem.

01:44:57.220 Politics is dominating your life.

01:44:59.600 If you answered yes, eleven or more times, I just have to be straight with you.

01:45:06.120 Most people that interact with you don't like you.

01:45:08.580 They just don't.

01:45:09.380 They just don't like you.

01:45:10.500 OK, that's the straight truth.

01:45:12.320 You might think they do, but they really don't.

01:45:14.700 They'll they'll claw their own arm off to get away from you.

01:45:17.720 I'm sorry, Rachel Maddow.

01:45:18.800 I know you got 14 or 15 there.

01:45:21.120 So it's it's not good for you.

01:45:23.060 Now, here's the other thing.

01:45:24.440 And you brought this up because we were listening to this in the car this morning.

01:45:28.420 You brought up now judge the other side.

01:45:32.500 Did you say yes to almost all of those for the other side?

01:45:37.160 Yeah, I think I think I would.

01:45:39.080 I think, you know, at least 12 to 15 of those, I would have said yes.

01:45:42.400 When I'm describing the left, I would say yes.

01:45:45.500 And certainly I would have.

01:45:46.840 I did better on the quiz than they did when I answered the questions.

01:45:50.460 And I don't know what that says about me.

01:45:52.320 I mean, I guess maybe I'm not fairly judging them.

01:45:55.160 Maybe they are worse.

01:45:56.040 I think there are there's good evidence, right, that some people on the left, if particularly in this time, yeah, go a lot further.

01:46:04.940 But that, you know, that doesn't I don't want any element of what they do in my life.

01:46:10.520 Like, even if I'm I am a little bit more successful in controlling myself at times than I think they are.

01:46:17.080 I don't want I don't want any of that in there.

01:46:19.780 I don't want the way they approach and react to things to be part of my calculus.

01:46:25.400 It's kind of like the badge of merit with George Washington, the original Purple Heart.

01:46:29.980 The only way we're going to win is if we are a virtuous, moral and and religious people, religious people, people who are caught doing good things, not caught doing bad things.

01:46:43.820 We are people of merit.

01:46:46.580 That's the reason why that's the reason why we won the Revolutionary War.

01:46:51.820 There's there's one other question that is not in the book that I'd like to answer or like to ask.

01:46:56.160 When you heard this poll at any time, did your anger build up?

01:47:04.780 You were angry at any of the questions or angry that these questions are being posed, angry that you you would be accused of feeling any of these things,

01:47:17.440 even though I asked you to ask yourself and about others, assuming that you were good.

01:47:22.960 If you had the anger rise up in you, that also is a sign.

01:47:29.260 You know, maybe we should all go to a for a minute and just get a handle on this.

01:47:35.100 Why?

01:47:37.240 Because our outrage stops us from reason.

01:47:42.100 And that is the goal of the postmoderns.

01:47:45.160 They the postmodernists wants to destroy reason, science, facts, discussion.

01:47:53.260 That's what we're missing in America.

01:47:55.500 And outrage keeps us from it.

01:47:58.740 All right.

01:47:59.740 Sponsor this half hour is a filter by filter by is.

01:48:05.100 Is this great company that that makes filters all here in America, in a small town here in America, in the south.

01:48:13.700 And it was it was actually a company.

01:48:17.040 Do you remember what they were originally?

01:48:18.780 There's a company that was started by this guy's this guy's wife's grandfather.

01:48:24.060 And they employed a bunch of people in the town.

01:48:26.180 It's this old factory.

01:48:27.640 And, you know, people, you know, nobody's buying that particular item from factories anymore.

01:48:32.160 This guy worked up in Wall Street and, you know, his wife said, this is my grandfather's factory in the old town kind of works there.

01:48:39.760 What do we do?

01:48:40.820 And so they bought it and they took it and retooled it.

01:48:46.620 He did study what what is the best thing we can do?

01:48:49.100 What is what is the need in America?

01:48:50.820 And they came up with filter replacements that are made here in America and can be shipped right to your house and really even shipped without you ordering.

01:49:00.620 And you order once and you say, I want to be on the automatic list and it knows, you know, you tell it what what system you have and what filters you need.

01:49:08.300 And and, you know, whatever the instructions say, you know, they have to replace them every six months or whatever your your air handling system says they automatically ship them.

01:49:17.220 So it's a no brainer.

01:49:18.860 It's really inexpensive.

01:49:20.800 They ship for free.

01:49:22.460 Custom options are available.

01:49:24.380 It saves you time.

01:49:26.260 It saves you money and it saves you wear and tear on your air handling system.
