00:00:00.000 The Blaze Radio Network, on demand.
00:00:11.500 Love. Courage. Truth. Glenn Beck.
00:00:18.180 Well, the 4th of July came early yesterday. I don't know if you noticed that.
00:00:22.120 I mean, if you were on Twitter, it was the 4th of July.
00:00:24.880 Twitter left was all ablaze with the thought of one of their own, defecting to the other side.
00:00:30.700 The betrayal! The loss of trust! Traitor!
00:00:36.380 Kanye West. Yes, my cracker, I'm actually talking about a rapper.
00:00:44.040 This is still the Glenn Beck Program, don't adjust your radio.
00:00:46.960 But Kanye West has been making waves in the Twitterverse in the past few days
00:00:51.780 by showing support for President Trump and also, and this might have been the biggest sin of all,
00:00:56.700 actually challenging the narrative that African Americans always have to toe the Democratic line.
00:01:04.040 It all started a couple of days ago when Kanye tweeted support for Turning Point USA and Candace Owens.
00:01:11.500 With a seven-word tweet, he lit the fuse.
00:01:14.960 The meltdown began after Kanye tweeted,
00:01:18.440 I love the way Candace Owens thinks, end quote. 0.98
00:01:21.720 That's it.
00:01:23.980 Instantly, the left began calling West a tool of the far right.
00:01:28.260 First, it was the alt-right.
00:01:30.300 And I'm trying to get my arms around...
00:01:32.140 Wait a minute.
00:01:33.500 The Nazi guys? 0.67
00:01:35.740 The racist guys?
00:01:36.980 They love Kanye West and he's part of them?
00:01:43.240 Come on.
00:01:43.880 There's absolutely nothing far right with Candace Owens.
00:01:49.280 But the liberal mudslinging piled on.
00:01:51.400 If you're curious about the kinds of things Candace says, you know, that has the left in such uproar,
00:01:56.440 she makes points, and brace yourself for this, like,
00:02:00.520 if Black Lives Matter really cared about black lives, 0.74
00:02:03.860 they might help stop Planned Parenthood from killing African American babies.
00:02:07.540 Oh my gosh!
00:02:08.880 She didn't say that, did she?
00:02:11.160 What a racist!
00:02:12.480 Well, to the left, that language is tantamount to an unforgivable sin.
00:02:19.020 You are out of the club.
00:02:22.000 As the left tried to bully Kanye into submission,
00:02:25.260 as per their standard operating procedure,
00:02:27.560 he didn't back down,
00:02:28.620 and here are just a few of the heretical things he dared tweet.
00:02:33.080 Quote,
00:02:33.560 There was a time when slavery was the trend,
00:02:37.020 and apparently that time is still upon us.
00:02:40.020 But now it's mentality.
00:02:42.100 Self-victimization is a disease.
00:02:45.520 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what?
00:02:47.900 Here's another one.
00:02:49.620 Obama was in office for eight years,
00:02:51.940 and nothing in Chicago changed.
00:02:54.400 End quote.
00:02:54.840 That one is the one that put the left into a tailspin.
00:03:01.380 I don't know anything, really, about Kanye West.
00:03:04.540 Everything he is doing right now might just be an elaborate promotion,
00:03:08.460 you know, for a tour or his next album or what.
00:03:11.020 I don't know.
00:03:12.520 But even if that's the case,
00:03:14.600 I love the way he has wittingly or unwittingly
00:03:17.780 made this point regarding the American political climate.
00:03:21.060 He has lit a fuse now at the cultural level.
00:03:28.020 How ironic was it that literally within seconds of tweeting this,
00:03:33.940 the thought police want to suppress freedom of thought,
00:03:36.740 that the liberal thought police went into action trying to smear Kanye
00:03:41.140 and everyone that he was supporting.
00:03:45.200 You see, freedom of thought is dangerous to hardliners
00:03:49.560 on both the left and the right.
00:03:51.060 They need to call you traitor.
00:03:53.100 They need to call you a heretic, 1.00
00:03:57.900 which they have to do it.
00:04:00.580 On both sides, the hardliners will do it every time. 1.00
00:04:03.960 And the left has a lot of hardliners.
00:04:07.740 Freedom of thought is the unforgivable sin.
00:04:12.380 If you dare listen to somebody with an opposing view
00:04:14.920 or, heaven forbid, challenge the narrative,
00:04:18.100 you're beaten into submission.
00:04:19.460 It doesn't have to be this way.
00:04:24.920 So, promotional stunt or not,
00:04:27.180 I applaud, I can't believe I was saying this,
00:04:29.420 I applaud Kanye West for bringing this to light.
00:04:32.440 I might have to start paying attention to Kanye a little bit more,
00:04:39.900 but I don't really want to go so far to find the rap section in the record store.
00:04:47.900 Do they even have record stores?
00:04:50.360 You know, I had a very interesting conversation with Dave Rubin,
00:05:04.320 who I love.
00:05:07.080 Dave Rubin is a guy who I disagree with on a few things,
00:05:10.440 but I don't think very many.
00:05:13.940 He is a remarkable, honest broker.
00:05:19.360 He's a guy who has taken on the left.
00:05:21.860 He was a progressive, and he realized,
00:05:25.000 you know, I don't think I'm a progressive.
00:05:28.340 And was actually on Young Turks.
00:05:33.060 And realized, he started listening to them.
00:05:36.820 And he was like, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:05:39.620 If that's what we're supposed to believe,
00:05:42.080 I don't believe that.
00:05:44.320 And last year, he came out and said,
00:05:46.920 I'm a libertarian.
00:05:49.040 I'm a constitutionalist.
00:05:51.300 And I'm not with these guys.
00:05:54.740 Because these guys are the thought police.
00:05:57.840 These guys are leading us down a road of tyranny.
00:06:01.580 And I spent about a half an hour with him yesterday on television.
00:06:07.660 We did another 20 or 30 minutes off air,
00:06:11.820 and I'm going to play some of it today and another clip of it tomorrow.
00:06:15.820 He is a remarkably brave man
00:06:19.100 who has challenged his own people.
00:06:23.720 And he had an interesting viewpoint on Kanye yesterday.
00:06:28.300 He said, think what you want about Kanye.
00:06:30.360 He said, but he has started a fire in culture now.
00:06:35.680 He said, you know, the Kardashians,
00:06:38.240 don't go up against the Kardashians.
00:06:40.140 They're really smart at social media.
00:06:43.400 And he said, here's Kanye lighting this fuse of free thought.
00:06:49.100 And even if he's doing it for promotional purposes,
00:06:52.720 look what's happening.
00:06:55.980 He's bringing out and dragging it into the public
00:07:00.540 that there are thought police on the left.
00:07:04.820 He really believes this is the beginning of the end
00:07:07.840 for the left and thought police.
00:07:10.720 You remember, what killed it back in the 1960s
00:07:14.160 were two events.
00:07:15.880 One was Altamont and the shooting,
00:07:19.900 or was it the stabbing, I think, at Altamont.
00:07:23.540 And the left just went too far with violence.
00:07:29.240 And the other was the Beatles song, Revolution.
00:07:32.940 You say you want a revolution.
00:07:35.240 Well, that whole song was, no.
00:07:39.920 They don't want a revolution.
00:07:41.940 You're carrying around pictures of Chairman Mao.
00:07:45.020 You say you want to change the Constitution.
00:07:47.740 Well, we want to change your head.
00:07:49.660 You're carrying around the pictures of Chairman Mao.
00:07:53.300 It's not going to work anyhow.
00:07:55.800 So, those two things were the culture,
00:08:02.680 getting into culture and saying, I reject this.
00:08:07.260 Is Kanye West the beginning of that fuse?
00:08:10.180 Welcome to the program, Steve Regeer,
00:08:12.140 otherwise known as Stu, for some reason.
00:08:14.300 Thank you, Glenn.
00:08:15.640 How are you?
00:08:16.060 I think Dave's probably right there.
00:08:18.000 We can't ignore these things because they're such big deals.
00:08:20.960 And when these cultural things happen, as we've seen.
00:08:25.400 I mean, they wind up taking over everybody's thought process
00:08:30.000 for multiple days and sometimes do make big changes like that.
00:08:33.100 It's a bit frustrating.
00:08:35.000 I mean, we are so starved for any celebrity attention on the right.
00:08:39.900 Like, this guy that everyone seemed to agree was completely insane
00:08:44.320 two days ago is now the conservative hero.
00:08:48.600 Right.
00:08:48.880 That's just really...
00:08:50.160 I don't think, though...
00:08:51.040 But I don't think that's Dave's...
00:08:53.320 I don't think that's Dave's point.
00:08:54.740 Oh, no.
00:08:55.060 I mean, Dave...
00:08:55.520 I'm sure it's not.
00:08:55.880 Yeah, Dave is not like, hey, he's a hero of the...
00:08:58.600 What he's saying is, the guy has just brought this
00:09:02.200 into popular conversation.
00:09:06.080 So, now it's down.
00:09:07.400 It's out of our circles.
00:09:08.800 It's out of talk radio circles.
00:09:10.620 I mean, I could care less.
00:09:12.320 Really, could you care less about anybody, you know,
00:09:14.940 more than Kanye West?
00:09:17.840 Yes, I don't care at all.
00:09:18.880 I don't care at all.
00:09:20.160 I don't care at all.
00:09:21.560 However, the people that everybody's been trying to reach
00:09:25.580 and say, wake up!
00:09:28.020 How do you not see this?
00:09:30.280 He's reaching them.
00:09:32.600 Remember, we kept saying, you know,
00:09:34.260 yeah, because nobody cares about the Constitution.
00:09:36.540 Nobody cares what's going on,
00:09:37.620 because they're watching the Kardashians.
00:09:41.040 Guess who he's married to?
00:09:43.160 I mean, it's a really big deal.
00:09:46.660 No, it's true.
00:09:48.840 I mean, I think this is...
00:09:51.260 I guess what I'm expressing is something different
00:09:53.420 than what Dave's expressing.
00:09:54.500 What I'm expressing is a frustration at the reality.
00:09:57.940 What he's describing is the reality.
00:09:59.940 It is the reality.
00:10:01.080 Yeah, I know, I know.
00:10:02.100 And so, he's right.
00:10:03.240 I mean, this will move more people
00:10:05.920 than any spreadsheet, any graph,
00:10:10.380 any constitutional argument.
00:10:12.960 You know, it's just the truth.
00:10:15.640 It's just where we are in our society.
00:10:17.920 Right.
00:10:18.180 And it's not going to move people
00:10:20.220 towards being conservative.
00:10:22.300 It's going to move people to say,
00:10:24.940 hey, I don't have to accept your junk.
00:10:27.860 Wait a minute.
00:10:28.700 You're shouting me down?
00:10:30.920 I don't think so, Jack.
00:10:32.840 I'm not a loser because you say I'm a loser
00:10:35.580 because I support this person or this person
00:10:37.920 or I've listened or talked to this person.
00:10:40.880 Yeah.
00:10:41.340 And so, there's a breaking of this logjam
00:10:44.140 of where everybody was just falling in line.
00:10:47.520 No, I've got to...
00:10:48.360 No, I've...
00:10:49.160 No, they're not cool
00:10:50.120 because all the cool people say they're not cool.
00:10:52.480 Well, wait a minute.
00:10:53.620 Here's a cool person saying,
00:10:55.680 I don't know.
00:10:56.300 I think some of this stuff is kind of cool.
00:10:59.100 Yeah.
00:10:59.500 I mean, was it Dave or Jonah Goldberg?
00:11:02.540 Who were we talking to the last couple of days
00:11:04.340 who was talking about going and talking to colleges?
00:11:08.420 Or maybe it was...
00:11:09.380 It was Ben Shapiro.
00:11:10.300 Ben Shapiro.
00:11:10.840 And he's talking about how you go and talk to colleges
00:11:13.040 and you say,
00:11:13.480 do you realize, you know,
00:11:15.200 you think it's rebellious?
00:11:17.260 You think it's rebellious to side
00:11:19.460 with the left-leaning media,
00:11:21.620 with the left-leaning professors,
00:11:24.340 with the left-leaning faculty?
00:11:26.620 And you go through all of this,
00:11:27.780 like, what's actually rebellious?
00:11:29.700 And here's something that I think is really...
00:11:31.460 That could actually come out of this.
00:11:32.800 At some point,
00:11:34.140 if you can define rebellious
00:11:36.740 as being...
00:11:38.820 As questioning...
00:11:39.800 Thomas Jefferson.
00:11:40.800 Yeah, right.
00:11:41.220 But questioning, you know,
00:11:43.260 questioning the status quo with the left
00:11:46.180 and the way these things go,
00:11:47.520 where every African-American has to be a Democrat,
00:11:50.140 and 92% to 96% of African-Americans
00:11:53.320 will vote Democrat over and over and over and over again.
00:11:56.200 When it becomes rebellious to go the opposite way,
00:11:59.600 that's when you may see change.
00:12:01.340 And Kanye West is smart enough...
00:12:03.700 Again, I think he's completely insane 95% of the time,
00:12:06.860 but he's smart enough to realize that at least,
00:12:08.660 at the very least for publicity's sake,
00:12:11.060 he realizes that being rebellious,
00:12:13.520 the craziest way to get attention right now
00:12:15.820 is to say something that could possibly
00:12:17.700 be construed as conservative.
00:12:19.660 And so him coming out,
00:12:20.980 he's generating a lot of, you know,
00:12:23.960 interest because of that.
00:12:25.020 And if it becomes...
00:12:26.140 People understand that as rebellious,
00:12:27.740 that is going to be a positive change.
00:12:29.500 So you just said that he's crazy.
00:12:31.640 Yes.
00:12:31.800 And that's what the left is saying now.
00:12:34.260 That's what we were saying 48 hours ago,
00:12:36.200 to be clear.
00:12:36.880 Everybody on the right knew he was insane 48 hours ago.
00:12:40.400 He was a genius to the left 48 hours ago, by the way.
00:12:43.260 Right, yeah.
00:12:44.240 So I'm, you know, let me just say this.
00:12:47.840 I don't know if he's crazy or not.
00:12:49.260 I don't know the guy.
00:12:50.460 I don't pay attention.
00:12:51.680 I know nothing about him.
00:12:53.980 You know what I mean?
00:12:55.240 And now that he's in kind of our sphere
00:12:57.540 of, you know, topics.
00:13:01.880 I mean, I've never been, you know, Kanye West.
00:13:04.520 I don't know anything about him.
00:13:06.240 Yeah, you know, you read a tweet.
00:13:07.860 Yeah, that's an idiotic tweet.
00:13:09.240 He's an idiot.
00:13:09.880 Whatever.
00:13:10.780 But now that he is actually tweeting something
00:13:13.500 that is into our realm of influence,
00:13:16.820 I do want to look into the guy.
00:13:18.860 He may be...
00:13:20.300 Here's my guess.
00:13:21.180 He is...
00:13:23.180 He's married to Kim Kardashian, right?
00:13:25.520 Yes.
00:13:26.740 Who's the mom? 0.99
00:13:28.260 The Kardashian mom.
00:13:29.700 Kris Jenner.
00:13:30.240 Kris Jenner, okay.
00:13:31.540 So Kris Jenner, I think, is a marketing genius.
00:13:35.100 And she's the one that's been keeping the family afloat.
00:13:37.640 And far as, you know, far as orchestrating
00:13:40.940 and showing everybody, here's how you do it.
00:13:42.900 I think she is...
00:13:44.100 I can't believe I'm saying this.
00:13:45.940 But I think she's the one who has the brains.
00:13:49.200 You don't think so, Stu?
00:13:50.060 No, I just find it interesting
00:13:51.080 that you have any opinion on this.
00:13:52.920 I have very little opinion.
00:13:54.860 It's not going very...
00:13:55.940 The inner workings of the Kardashian family
00:13:58.180 and which one is the marketing genius...
00:14:00.120 I think they're all marketing geniuses.
00:14:01.980 I'll say that.
00:14:02.500 I think they are.
00:14:03.240 But I think mom, you know, has...
00:14:08.320 I think mom set the table here.
00:14:10.680 You know what I mean?
00:14:12.680 And from what I've read,
00:14:16.200 mom is giving advice on things with Kanye
00:14:20.040 and trying to keep him relevant.
00:14:22.080 Now, if that's true,
00:14:23.940 this just might be a marketing thing
00:14:26.560 to keep, you know, the son-in-law relevant
00:14:29.280 for this new whatever he's going to do.
00:14:32.500 So my guess is that's what's happening.
00:14:36.800 That Kanye may have seen that one tweet
00:14:40.640 that went out and said,
00:14:42.140 I like the way she thinks.
00:14:44.400 And he tweeted that.
00:14:46.560 And it might have just been a one-off.
00:14:48.980 Then the storm started.
00:14:51.760 I'm guessing mom gets involved.
00:14:54.440 And whether they're furthering all of these things
00:14:56.860 just because you're in the news
00:14:59.140 and any press is good press,
00:15:01.460 I don't know.
00:15:03.600 But what I do like
00:15:05.120 is the fact that somewhere,
00:15:08.260 people that the right could have never reached
00:15:11.520 and never reached,
00:15:13.280 not with the message of being conservative,
00:15:15.460 but the message that is more important,
00:15:18.540 freedom of thought,
00:15:20.440 freedom of speech,
00:15:22.080 freedom of association,
00:15:24.320 freedom to go where you want,
00:15:26.260 think what you want,
00:15:27.420 listen to what you want
00:15:29.240 without somebody shouting you down
00:15:31.660 is of critical importance.
00:15:35.460 And I can't believe,
00:15:36.780 it just may end up being
00:15:38.580 that Kanye West
00:15:39.980 is responsible
00:15:41.840 for lighting a fuse
00:15:44.560 that could blow up
00:15:45.780 what's happening on the university campuses.
00:15:47.740 Well, FEMA is now practicing
00:15:57.840 for an Atlantic hurricane strike,
00:16:00.220 hoping to avoid a repeat
00:16:02.420 of last year's devastation.
00:16:04.580 But hurricane experts
00:16:05.600 are predicting an above-average year
00:16:07.580 with as many as five U.S. landfalls.
00:16:11.700 So that's, of course,
00:16:12.600 according to global warming.
00:16:14.080 I mean, it's finally here.
00:16:15.000 So we know that these threats
00:16:18.660 are out there.
00:16:19.560 We know that Russia 0.99
00:16:20.540 and cyberterrorism is out there.
00:16:22.380 But no matter what the emergency is,
00:16:24.540 if you prepare now
00:16:25.920 before it's imminent,
00:16:28.180 you're going to be okay.

00:17:55.680 What do you think happens
00:17:58.520 at that dinner?
00:18:00.400 Something amazing happens.
00:18:03.260 Tonight at 5 o'clock,

00:18:06.600 We premiere tonight.

00:18:17.040 and then on demand.
00:18:18.620 I'm sorry.
00:18:19.080 Is it at 5?
00:18:19.960 Yes, it is at 5.
00:18:21.420 At 5 o'clock
00:18:22.380 and then again on demand
00:18:23.580 as soon as it's finished.
00:18:24.700 You don't want to miss this.
00:18:26.020 It's amazing.
00:18:27.220 It's amazing what happens.
00:18:28.640 Is Kanye going to be on this episode?
00:18:32.420 No, but maybe next episode, Stu.
00:18:35.620 I can see it.
00:18:36.480 This is the type of thing he's doing now.
00:18:38.260 I, yeah.
00:18:39.500 It's going to be pretty,
00:18:40.120 it's a great show.
00:18:40.580 Yeah, we'll talk more next week about that.
00:18:41.760 It's a great conversation that you have,
00:18:43.560 you know,
00:18:44.180 that's going to air tonight.
00:18:45.680 But I mean,
00:18:46.000 it's something that I think
00:18:47.480 oddly is very much needed
00:18:49.960 in the country.
00:18:51.300 I mean,
00:18:51.540 like there's no point
00:18:52.720 in the conversation
00:18:53.520 in which you decide
00:18:55.180 you really like socialism.
00:18:57.160 Like there's no point
00:18:58.160 in this conversation
00:18:58.660 where you know what?
00:18:59.260 High taxes are the right thing.
00:19:01.340 It's not what this is about.
00:19:02.560 It's about just finding those things
00:19:04.120 because I think they do exist
00:19:05.800 where we actually do agree
00:19:08.800 with each other.
00:19:09.640 I mean,
00:19:09.920 Kanye West is a fairly good example,
00:19:12.120 though I can't believe
00:19:12.660 we're bringing it up again,
00:19:14.020 in that like both conservatives,
00:19:17.480 and Kanye West
00:19:19.180 want black unemployment 1.00
00:19:20.560 to be low.
00:19:21.900 Yes.
00:19:22.440 Right?
00:19:22.720 And it is.
00:19:23.320 It's the lowest it's been in history.
00:19:25.480 So that's a good thing
00:19:26.900 they can both agree on.
00:19:28.480 Yeah.
00:19:28.800 But there is some contentious moments
00:19:31.520 in this tonight
00:19:32.140 when we start talking about gun control
00:19:34.540 because it was a tough conversation.
00:19:38.500 It was actually not.
00:19:39.300 It was a great conversation.
00:19:41.300 It got a little tough
00:19:42.640 when people started saying
00:19:44.020 it's an undisputed fact
00:19:45.380 because there's lots of disputed facts.
00:19:51.980 Yeah.
00:19:52.720 It is a big,
00:19:55.080 you know,
00:19:55.640 you're going to always have
00:19:56.660 some questions.
00:19:57.820 You're always going to have
00:19:58.700 those moments
00:19:59.800 where you're going to disagree,
00:20:01.200 but that's okay.
00:20:02.000 Like,
00:20:02.640 as human beings,
00:20:04.000 and that's Kanye West's point,
00:20:05.780 right?
00:20:05.900 Like,
00:20:06.020 that's what we should learn out of this.
00:20:06.960 Yeah.
00:20:07.040 The fact that he disagrees with you
00:20:08.740 about some issue
00:20:10.460 doesn't mean you shouldn't like his music
00:20:11.960 or should be able to flame him 0.90
00:20:13.240 on Twitter or whatever.
00:20:14.580 I sat next to this
00:20:15.940 liberal progressive college professor
00:20:18.240 and we talked about gun control
00:20:22.440 and we both ended with saying,
00:20:25.920 this is the best conversation
00:20:26.800 I've had about gun control
00:20:27.840 in a long time.
00:20:29.160 Watch it tonight at five.

00:20:45.580 Yesterday,
00:20:46.360 I sat down here in Los Angeles
00:20:48.100 with Dave Rubin
00:20:49.140 and had a fascinating conversation.
00:20:53.280 Here's a clip of it.
00:20:55.160 This is,
00:20:56.380 we were talking about Kanye West
00:20:58.820 and what he thinks this means.
00:21:02.660 I'm not a huge Kanye fan
00:21:03.980 as an artist.
00:21:05.160 I like Sinatra
00:21:06.140 and I have Dean Martin
00:21:07.040 playing at my house all day long.
00:21:08.240 So that's more,
00:21:09.060 just musically,
00:21:09.840 that's where I'm at.
00:21:10.460 Herb Alpert.
00:21:11.100 You know Herb Alpert?
00:21:11.780 You're a big 70s guy
00:21:12.600 with the horn?
00:21:13.360 Yes, I do.
00:21:13.780 Herb Alpert.
00:21:14.000 Okay.
00:21:14.580 So that's what's going on
00:21:15.300 in my house all day long.
00:21:16.100 So this isn't about-
00:21:16.740 I've got a great Herb Alpert story
00:21:17.800 I'll tell you before you leave.
00:21:18.840 Oh, I can't wait.
00:21:19.540 I can't wait.
00:21:20.800 So I can't talk to Kanye
00:21:22.740 in terms of the art specifically,
00:21:25.020 but this guy,
00:21:25.960 without question,
00:21:27.160 is a true mover.
00:21:28.900 He is someone
00:21:29.580 that can say something
00:21:30.740 and move people's minds.
00:21:32.580 Yes.
00:21:33.180 And with him tweeting
00:21:34.240 these seven simple words,
00:21:35.900 I love the way
00:21:36.660 Candace Owens thinks.
00:21:38.120 Candace is a friend of mine.
00:21:39.140 We just were at Berkeley
00:21:40.380 together last week.
00:21:41.760 She was a lefty. 0.99
00:21:43.360 She now has woken up to that.
00:21:45.220 She believes the things
00:21:46.720 that we've been talking about,
00:21:47.700 about identity politics
00:21:48.760 and what democratic policies
00:21:50.040 have done to the black community. 0.92
00:21:52.220 She talks about how it's decimated
00:21:53.660 not only people in her own family,
00:21:55.640 but in her community.
00:21:59.000 And now look what's happening.
00:22:00.360 The entire media,
00:22:01.760 Daily Beast,
00:22:03.220 BuzzFeed,
00:22:04.140 Mediaite,
00:22:04.700 all talking about Kanye
00:22:06.120 as far right.
00:22:07.600 Then Scott Adams,
00:22:08.640 the best-selling author
00:22:09.400 and Dilbert creator,
00:22:10.760 offers a little defense
00:22:11.980 of Kanye now.
00:22:12.760 He's far right.
00:22:13.980 I mean,
00:22:14.220 we've seen them do this
00:22:15.220 with a zillion other people
00:22:16.120 that we know,
00:22:16.560 Jordan Peterson,
00:22:17.380 everyone.
00:22:18.020 Well,
00:22:18.180 they didn't call him far right.
00:22:19.560 They called him alt-right.
00:22:20.580 Oh,
00:22:20.780 and then,
00:22:21.020 well,
00:22:21.140 it's both.
00:22:21.740 Well,
00:22:22.600 because the reason
00:22:23.300 that they're now using far right
00:22:24.600 a little more than alt-right
00:22:25.580 is they realized
00:22:26.620 they really lost,
00:22:28.380 they went so bananas
00:22:29.740 with that one
00:22:30.500 that now they've shifted it
00:22:32.080 where you're seeing
00:22:32.460 a little less alt-right,
00:22:33.520 you're seeing a little more far right.
00:22:35.360 But what people have woken up to
00:22:37.100 is that anyone,
00:22:39.540 first off,
00:22:40.300 Kanye,
00:22:40.760 I don't know if you know this,
00:22:41.400 but Kanye is black.
00:22:42.620 So,
00:22:43.220 let me get this straight.
00:22:44.400 The new hero of the alt-right
00:22:46.180 is a black man.
00:22:47.420 He's a black man
00:22:47.980 who thinks for himself.
00:22:49.480 Hitler loved black people. 0.94
00:22:50.640 Love the Jews.
00:22:51.420 Love black people.
00:22:52.460 But this is,
00:22:53.280 you can always poke holes
00:22:54.700 in these insane
00:22:55.560 ideological inconsistencies.
00:22:57.520 So,
00:22:57.840 if you really want to understand
00:22:59.040 where prejudice comes from,
00:23:00.420 where bigotry comes from,
00:23:02.480 prejudice,
00:23:03.020 what does it mean?
00:23:03.620 Pre-judging.
00:23:05.080 If you look at a black man, 1.00
00:23:06.600 Kanye,
00:23:07.060 and you go,
00:23:07.680 if he doesn't think,
00:23:09.160 as a white liberal,
00:23:10.200 right,
00:23:10.460 it's because that's who he usually is,
00:23:12.060 this black man doesn't think 1.00
00:23:13.180 the way I want him to think.
00:23:14.200 He must be part of the alt-right
00:23:15.480 or he's a sellout
00:23:16.500 or he's,
00:23:17.280 you think it's possible
00:23:18.060 he has capacity
00:23:18.760 over his own mind?
00:23:19.940 Do you think he might have
00:23:20.820 care for a community
00:23:22.440 that you don't know about
00:23:23.520 or maybe don't care about
00:23:25.120 or whatever?
00:23:25.600 So,
00:23:25.860 I think he's,
00:23:26.720 I think,
00:23:27.820 the reason that
00:23:29.300 you like what I'm doing,
00:23:30.400 that I've offered
00:23:30.920 a little bit of an outlet here
00:23:32.760 for people that are coming
00:23:33.940 from the left
00:23:34.380 to go,
00:23:34.740 wait a minute,
00:23:35.200 freedom,
00:23:36.120 that's the road.
00:23:37.060 I think Kanye,
00:23:38.020 just with a simple tweet,
00:23:39.640 and now he's been on
00:23:40.240 a major Twitter thing
00:23:41.260 the last couple of days,
00:23:42.440 I think he's given oxygen
00:23:44.080 in a place that needed oxygen
00:23:46.100 and all of these people
00:23:47.440 are going to start
00:23:48.040 coming out and going,
00:23:48.860 because you have,
00:23:49.780 me too,
00:23:49.980 me too.
00:23:50.540 You have,
00:23:51.380 you're having,
00:23:52.120 you're seeing this.
00:23:53.380 People on the right
00:23:54.220 aren't seeing it.
00:23:55.800 I see it.
00:23:56.840 And they're just not seeing it
00:23:59.160 and I'm afraid
00:23:59.820 that some on the right
00:24:00.960 are kind of falling
00:24:01.720 into that kind of
00:24:02.480 progressive mindset
00:24:03.440 where you're either
00:24:04.520 all in
00:24:05.200 or you're a traitor. 0.69
00:24:06.240 Yeah.
00:24:06.680 That's horrible.
00:24:08.080 Yeah.
00:24:09.380 But you,
00:24:11.220 you believe there is
00:24:12.760 a big enough movement
00:24:14.120 of,
00:24:14.720 and I don't mean,
00:24:15.540 I want to make this
00:24:16.180 really clear.
00:24:17.420 I don't need anybody
00:24:18.420 to agree with me.
00:24:19.500 I don't need to go
00:24:20.760 sell you on my ideology
00:24:22.700 or my thoughts.
00:24:23.920 I just want to be able
00:24:25.160 to have an open,
00:24:26.800 decent conversation
00:24:28.080 and not be a pariah
00:24:30.820 and live next door
00:24:33.160 to somebody
00:24:33.760 who feels the same way.
00:24:35.480 By the way,
00:24:35.820 you just worded that
00:24:36.460 slightly different,
00:24:37.080 but that's pretty much
00:24:37.700 what Kanye is saying
00:24:38.500 in these tweets now.
00:24:39.160 Right.
00:24:39.400 That's all he's saying,
00:24:40.340 be a free thinker.
00:24:41.260 Right.
00:24:41.400 But they can't have
00:24:42.860 free thinkers.
00:24:43.900 This is why they purge everybody
00:24:45.400 and it's not just
00:24:46.500 someone that might be
00:24:47.440 a black conservative,
00:24:48.520 a Thomas Sowell
00:24:49.120 or a Larry Elder
00:24:49.840 or a Candace or Kanye,
00:24:51.120 and I'm not even calling
00:24:51.820 him a conservative,
00:24:52.700 but it's everyone.
00:24:53.800 It's why lefty,
00:24:55.220 lifetime lefty,
00:24:56.560 Brett Weinstein
00:24:57.500 at Evergreen State
00:24:58.680 dare say something
00:25:00.140 they don't like.
00:25:01.260 You're not a progressive anymore.
00:25:02.400 You're actually going
00:25:02.800 to lose your job
00:25:03.580 and your wife's going 1.00
00:25:04.260 to lose her job too.
00:25:05.940 And it's amazing
00:25:06.900 because to work
00:25:08.300 at Evergreen,
00:25:08.980 that makes Salt Lake City
00:25:11.340 look like Berkeley.
00:25:12.820 You know what I mean?
00:25:13.980 But that's the thing.
00:25:14.740 So let me get this straight.
00:25:15.720 Let me get this straight.
00:25:16.400 The place,
00:25:17.160 they say that Evergreen
00:25:18.980 is basically the leftmost college
00:25:20.680 in the United States
00:25:21.300 or within the top three or four.
00:25:22.980 You would think
00:25:23.580 if these policies
00:25:24.420 that these guys
00:25:25.080 are promoting all the time
00:25:26.000 are so wonderful
00:25:27.340 and so diverse
00:25:28.520 and all of this nonsense,
00:25:30.200 well then you'd think
00:25:30.820 it would be a bastion
00:25:31.660 of sanity
00:25:32.460 and pleasantness.
00:25:33.540 But no,
00:25:33.920 there's literally students
00:25:34.740 wandering around
00:25:35.260 with baseball bats
00:25:36.040 threatening people
00:25:36.860 because Brett decided
00:25:38.440 that he was going
00:25:39.220 to actually defend
00:25:40.580 the idea
00:25:41.400 that you can't segregate
00:25:42.320 based on race.
00:25:43.000 But we see this consistently
00:25:44.800 so they keep purging
00:25:45.920 these people
00:25:46.500 and all the same voices
00:25:47.960 keep getting purged
00:25:49.100 and I think for us
00:25:50.180 the challenge is
00:25:51.300 we've got to sit there,
00:25:52.680 be okay with some differences
00:25:54.000 which I know that we are
00:25:55.120 and they'll keep coming.
00:25:56.940 The question is
00:25:57.620 how deep
00:25:58.460 will those guys
00:25:59.720 drag everybody else?
00:26:01.580 And unfortunately,
00:26:02.700 although I do think
00:26:03.480 things are getting better,
00:26:04.460 it will get worse
00:26:05.480 before it truly turns.
00:26:07.500 And the question is
00:26:08.080 what do they take with them?
00:26:09.240 Do they really take down this?
00:26:13.580 Do they take this down
00:26:15.180 in their last fit of glory
00:26:17.800 as they're losing?
00:26:19.020 Because I believe
00:26:19.640 they can't win
00:26:21.020 because it's a movement
00:26:22.820 of destruction.
00:26:23.780 But do they take this
00:26:24.600 whole thing down with it?
00:26:25.660 That's the question
00:26:26.460 and that's why
00:26:26.900 we've got to fight, right?
00:26:28.380 What's your guess?
00:26:30.440 It will get worse
00:26:31.400 before it gets better,
00:26:32.580 but I think there are
00:26:33.360 so many signs
00:26:34.700 all over the place
00:26:36.800 from Kanye
00:26:37.540 to the reaction
00:26:38.440 that I'm getting
00:26:39.180 to all of the things
00:26:40.660 that we're talking about here
00:26:41.560 that average people
00:26:42.760 who are out there
00:26:43.940 who want to live
00:26:44.720 in a truly diverse
00:26:46.040 tolerant society
00:26:47.260 will come around.
00:26:49.600 And I think they are
00:26:50.260 coming around
00:26:50.820 and they're just not
00:26:51.620 screaming about it.
00:26:52.720 Maybe they're going to
00:26:53.220 have to start screaming. 0.86
00:26:54.200 It's not my style,
00:26:55.140 but maybe we need
00:26:55.820 more screamers
00:26:56.520 on this side.
00:26:57.540 But then it'll be our job
00:26:58.680 to kind of make sure
00:26:59.960 they don't go
00:27:00.680 off the deep end too.
00:27:02.320 But I'm hopeful
00:27:02.800 if I wasn't an optimist
00:27:03.820 I don't know
00:27:04.100 how I could do this, right?
00:27:05.080 Like fundamentally,
00:27:05.720 I would say
00:27:06.640 I'm a world-weary optimist.
00:27:08.640 I worry about the world.
00:27:10.380 You know, like when you're
00:27:11.420 I'm an optimistic
00:27:12.200 I'm an optimistic catastrophist.
00:27:16.020 That's why we can do this.
00:27:17.240 But you know
00:27:17.780 when you see somebody
00:27:18.460 like sitting at a coffee shop
00:27:19.480 and they're kind of
00:27:19.880 just staring at it
00:27:20.640 and sniffing this.
00:27:21.380 Like when I do that
00:27:22.280 I am truly worrying
00:27:23.480 about the world.
00:27:24.420 I am worrying about
00:27:25.580 what the fate
00:27:26.340 of the world is, really.
00:27:27.860 And I worry about that
00:27:29.040 disproportionate
00:27:30.060 to where most people
00:27:31.620 are worried about
00:27:32.140 their little day-to-day nonsense.
00:27:34.420 At the same time
00:27:35.160 I'm an optimist
00:27:35.840 because otherwise
00:27:36.340 what would be the point?
00:27:37.360 Why would I be doing this?
00:27:38.500 You know, I could find
00:27:39.160 I wanted to be in the NBA.
00:27:40.580 You know?
00:27:40.780 I think we are
00:27:42.700 I think the world
00:27:44.860 hasn't been here
00:27:45.580 since maybe 39.
00:27:47.580 There is no America 0.85
00:27:48.740 this time.
00:27:49.720 There's no rock
00:27:50.900 solid
00:27:51.780 this is right
00:27:53.220 this is wrong
00:27:54.240 country.
00:27:54.940 I don't know
00:27:55.500 which one that would be.
00:27:57.840 No, we're the best we got.
00:27:58.900 Yeah, the best we got.
00:27:59.980 So we're at the same
00:28:01.800 kind of position
00:28:02.520 where the world
00:28:03.340 could go very dark
00:28:04.580 very fast.
00:28:05.940 However
00:28:06.420 I was in Poland
00:28:08.140 and I was talking
00:28:08.820 to the
00:28:09.580 chief rabbi
00:28:12.260 of Poland there
00:28:13.280 and
00:28:13.820 I had asked him
00:28:16.600 you know
00:28:17.880 only 6,000
00:28:19.560 righteous
00:28:20.420 stood up
00:28:21.340 for the Jews
00:28:21.780 only 6,000
00:28:22.720 he looked at me
00:28:23.840 like I was crazy
00:28:24.720 and he said
00:28:25.820 only?
00:28:27.760 Do you know
00:28:28.120 how hard that was?
00:28:30.220 We started talking
00:28:31.100 and he said
00:28:31.500 listen
00:28:31.780 he said
00:28:32.860 you need to
00:28:34.140 you need to start
00:28:34.840 thinking more
00:28:35.780 with a longer view.
00:28:40.060 He said
00:28:40.420 if I would have
00:28:41.320 come to you
00:28:42.060 in 1939
00:28:43.020 and said
00:28:43.800 and you were Jewish
00:28:44.740 and said
00:28:45.340 don't worry
00:28:46.220 in just a few years
00:28:48.180 in 8 years
00:28:49.000 the state of Israel
00:28:50.820 will be
00:28:52.140 reset.
00:28:53.900 He said
00:28:54.480 you would have said
00:28:55.100 I was crazy.
00:28:56.420 He said
00:28:57.000 the world goes through
00:28:57.960 real periods
00:28:59.200 of darkness
00:28:59.780 but as long
00:29:00.620 as people
00:29:01.380 are willing
00:29:02.080 to stand up
00:29:03.060 and recognize
00:29:03.920 truth
00:29:04.600 you get through it.
00:29:06.580 So what's on the other
00:29:07.360 side of this
00:29:08.000 is exciting.
00:29:09.560 Yeah.
00:29:09.940 Can I throw in
00:29:10.420 one other thing?
00:29:11.080 Yeah.
00:29:11.460 So I spoke
00:29:12.760 at a Turning Point USA
00:29:13.940 event
00:29:14.360 you know
00:29:14.700 this young college
00:29:15.400 conservative thing
00:29:16.220 about a week ago
00:29:17.380 I go
00:29:18.060 I talked about
00:29:18.760 all the differences
00:29:19.500 we had
00:29:20.040 and I got a standing
00:29:20.980 ovation
00:29:21.380 despite all of the things
00:29:22.800 that I talk about
00:29:23.560 that are not
00:29:24.020 conservative principles.
00:29:25.380 When I was there
00:29:26.160 there's a guy
00:29:26.740 that goes to these events
00:29:27.560 and he hands out
00:29:28.180 these big constitutions
00:29:29.320 and bill of rights
00:29:30.720 and I'm putting them
00:29:31.380 up in my studio
00:29:32.420 you'll see them
00:29:32.940 next time we're there
00:29:33.620 and I have them
00:29:34.680 on the plane
00:29:35.100 with me
00:29:35.400 and I'm watching
00:29:36.020 on the plane
00:29:36.580 I was watching
00:29:37.100 The Darkest Hour
00:29:37.820 the Churchill movie
00:29:38.900 did you see it?
00:29:39.640 I love it.
00:29:40.640 And I was feeling
00:29:41.860 like I really was feeling
00:29:42.920 like wow
00:29:43.420 I'm living the life
00:29:44.460 that I want to live
00:29:45.200 like I just talked
00:29:45.980 about the things
00:29:46.580 that I want to talk about
00:29:47.260 here I've got
00:29:47.660 the Declaration of Constitution
00:29:48.760 in the thing above me
00:29:51.060 I'm watching this movie
00:29:52.160 and the thing
00:29:53.380 about Churchill
00:29:54.080 the only thing
00:29:55.500 that you need
00:29:55.940 to really know
00:29:56.660 about this guy
00:29:57.440 as everybody else
00:29:58.380 from Chamberlain on down
00:29:59.580 was trying to sell out
00:30:01.020 and figure out ways
00:30:01.780 to mitigate
00:30:02.360 and not
00:30:03.020 don't really face the truth
00:30:04.660 don't really face evil
00:30:05.760 all the guy said was
00:30:07.160 no
00:30:07.480 that's it
00:30:09.340 no we're not
00:30:10.940 going to do this
00:30:11.620 we're going to
00:30:12.140 you know
00:30:12.400 you got the royal family
00:30:13.680 thinking we're going
00:30:14.260 to move to Canada
00:30:14.980 literally
00:30:15.960 and Churchill's going
00:30:17.760 no we're going to
00:30:18.520 and that's all
00:30:19.520 that anyone
00:30:20.000 that's watching this
00:30:20.800 almost gave up
00:30:22.080 until somebody else
00:30:23.760 said no with him
00:30:25.120 yeah
00:30:25.500 you know it's interesting
00:30:26.740 about Churchill
00:30:27.440 because I'm fascinated
00:30:28.660 by Churchill
00:30:29.160 Churchill was a really
00:30:30.120 bad guy
00:30:30.800 he made a lot of mistakes
00:30:32.960 in India
00:30:33.860 he was a nightmare
00:30:35.400 yeah
00:30:35.780 you know
00:30:36.100 and there's so many
00:30:37.780 people that want to
00:30:39.060 on the left
00:30:40.160 totally dismantle
00:30:42.180 Churchill
00:30:42.620 because of what
00:30:43.400 he did in India
00:30:44.100 but if that was
00:30:45.840 all he was
00:30:47.180 okay
00:30:48.000 but he was also
00:30:49.900 this
00:30:50.560 and that's
00:30:52.280 who we are
00:30:53.120 we
00:30:53.680 throughout history
00:30:54.980 man is always
00:30:56.660 in conflict
00:30:58.020 he is always
00:30:59.320 well I think
00:31:00.640 this
00:31:01.140 but I'm blind
00:31:02.920 to what I'm
00:31:04.020 saying over here
00:31:05.380 which I should
00:31:06.560 apply
00:31:07.140 and if we
00:31:08.140 in the end
00:31:09.600 when he was
00:31:11.020 pushed and pushed
00:31:11.980 and pushed
00:31:12.480 on India
00:31:13.060 he did go back
00:31:14.580 and say
00:31:15.000 I treated Gandhi 0.91
00:31:15.940 horribly
00:31:16.360 I shouldn't have
00:31:16.980 done these things
00:31:17.680 I mean
00:31:18.500 we have to
00:31:20.220 take both sides
00:31:21.240 and learn
00:31:21.960 from that
00:31:23.500 we are just
00:31:24.200 people of our time
00:31:25.300 my favorite founder
00:31:26.240 who you mentioned
00:31:26.860 before
00:31:27.180 Thomas Jefferson
00:31:28.000 he owned slaves
00:31:29.320 while he was
00:31:29.980 writing the laws
00:31:30.820 of free slaves
00:31:32.120 that doesn't mean
00:31:33.440 you rip down
00:31:34.040 the monuments
00:31:34.580 that doesn't mean
00:31:35.180 you destroy
00:31:35.760 the past
00:31:36.400 the past
00:31:36.920 is what made us
00:31:37.660 now
00:31:38.000 and it's what's
00:31:38.520 going to make
00:31:38.840 the future
00:31:39.340 so except
00:31:40.520 we're all flawed
00:31:41.300 characters
00:31:41.760 we're all trying
00:31:42.660 we're all trying
00:31:43.540 but
00:31:43.740 do you think
00:31:44.000 we ever get
00:31:44.440 to a point
00:31:44.920 to where
00:31:45.360 you know
00:31:45.980 like the Me Too
00:31:46.640 movement
00:31:46.980 where there
00:31:47.500 some
00:31:48.400 now
00:31:48.920 some
00:31:49.780 I've seen
00:31:50.340 I've seen
00:31:50.960 Dustin Hoffman
00:31:51.800 you know
00:31:52.580 raked over the coals
00:31:53.760 have you seen that
00:31:54.600 for you know
00:31:55.480 what he did in 1971
00:31:56.480 it was a different world
00:31:57.340 in 1971
00:31:57.900 and that was his point
00:31:59.400 it was a different world
00:32:00.140 in 1971
00:32:00.740 some will accept that
00:32:02.640 many don't
00:32:04.280 but as I see that
00:32:05.360 we can use this
00:32:07.120 as an example
00:32:07.880 yes it was a different world
00:32:09.140 just as it was
00:32:11.080 a different world
00:32:12.020 back in
00:32:12.760 1771
00:32:14.540 yeah but you know what
00:32:15.440 if we lose this fight
00:32:16.700 if we lose this fight
00:32:17.860 the amount of things
00:32:19.000 that the culture
00:32:19.940 will tell us
00:32:20.720 that we believe now
00:32:21.500 to be totally decent things
00:32:22.720 it doesn't even matter
00:32:23.380 what they are
00:32:23.880 that I watched
00:32:24.380 The Simpsons or something
00:32:25.360 actually that's a pretty good example
00:32:26.760 it is
00:32:27.160 because you've got these people
00:32:27.940 now attacking up
00:32:28.660 who
00:32:28.900 who is a beloved character
00:32:30.380 in probably the greatest
00:32:31.400 comedy of all time
00:32:32.320 who taught them about immigration
00:32:33.500 and they had Indian weddings
00:32:34.900 and all this stuff
00:32:35.560 but they will
00:32:36.480 what if you
00:32:37.200 if you don't hold on
00:32:38.800 to something now
00:32:39.740 and that thing keeps going
00:32:41.260 and keeps going
00:32:41.920 and keeps going
00:32:42.400 everything
00:32:43.040 everything
00:32:43.880 they will find
00:32:44.620 every video
00:32:45.500 every radio show
00:32:46.480 that Glenn Beck ever did
00:32:47.660 and tell you
00:32:48.980 what a hateful extremist
00:32:51.100 and all of that
00:32:51.700 so that we're fighting
00:32:52.620 this is the beauty
00:32:53.820 we're fighting for society
00:32:55.240 but really we're fighting
00:32:56.180 for ourselves
00:32:56.880 and if you stand there
00:32:58.940 and you go
00:32:59.220 I'm going to stand for myself
00:33:00.580 other people will join you
00:33:02.540 because they want to stand
00:33:03.360 for themselves
00:33:04.040 courage is contagious
00:33:05.940 damn right
00:33:06.940 and you are a plague in shoes
00:33:08.920 good for you
00:33:10.160 good for you

00:33:17.280 I asked him
00:33:18.720 about abortion
00:33:19.840 and it's a phenomenal
00:33:22.320 conversation
00:33:23.440 he is
00:33:24.740 remember
00:33:25.620 he's a guy
00:33:26.180 who just a year ago
00:33:27.740 said
00:33:28.580 I was a progressive
00:33:29.540 and then started
00:33:30.320 to see people
00:33:31.340 on the progressive side
00:33:34.120 shut down free speech
00:33:35.500 and he thought
00:33:36.520 you know
00:33:37.120 I gotta rethink this
00:33:39.080 he is
00:33:40.380 a remarkably
00:33:41.700 brave man

00:35:41.820 talked
00:35:42.120 he spoke up
00:35:43.780 when it was
00:35:44.160 difficult
00:35:44.500 right
00:35:44.860 like he
00:35:45.540 he realized
00:35:46.340 his side
00:35:46.960 had screwed
00:35:47.460 something up
00:35:47.980 he didn't like
00:35:48.380 where his side
00:35:48.980 was going
00:35:49.460 and he spoke
00:35:50.040 up against
00:35:50.460 the people
00:35:50.820 he worked
00:35:51.220 with
00:35:51.340 and everything
00:35:51.580 else
00:35:51.780 let me give you
00:35:52.160 two examples
00:35:52.660 where we need
00:35:53.260 more of this
00:35:53.740 right now
00:35:54.240 Ronnie Jackson
00:35:56.000 the guy
00:35:56.880 who is
00:35:57.400 being
00:35:58.120 tossed up
00:35:59.180 as the head
00:35:59.920 of the VA
00:36:00.460 by Donald Trump
00:36:02.140 the personal
00:36:02.600 doctor of Trump
00:36:03.340 but also the
00:36:04.320 personal doctor
00:36:04.940 of Obama
00:36:05.560 for eight years
00:36:06.720 this guy's being
00:36:07.920 absolutely slaughtered
00:36:09.580 in the media
00:36:10.000 right now
00:36:10.500 he's apparently
00:36:11.200 the worst guy
00:36:11.880 ever
00:36:12.140 huge drinking
00:36:13.060 problem
00:36:13.560 all these things
00:36:14.340 he was praised
00:36:15.680 constantly
00:36:16.660 by Obama
00:36:17.580 when Obama
00:36:18.360 was there
00:36:18.980 where is
00:36:20.520 Barack Obama
00:36:21.300 this week
00:36:21.980 you might
00:36:22.920 not agree
00:36:23.740 that he should
00:36:24.320 run the VA
00:36:24.980 and you can
00:36:25.520 make that point
00:36:26.060 I don't know
00:36:26.400 if he has
00:36:26.660 the necessary
00:36:27.280 experience
00:36:27.760 but where
00:36:28.300 are you
00:36:28.720 stepping up
00:36:29.780 in a moment
00:36:30.480 where this guy
00:36:31.060 who was your
00:36:31.580 doctor
00:36:31.920 your personal
00:36:32.500 doctor
00:36:32.820 for eight
00:36:33.400 years
00:36:33.860 defending your
00:36:34.760 life
00:36:35.020 when you were
00:36:35.900 president of the
00:36:36.400 United States
00:36:36.800 where are you
00:36:37.760 saying one word
00:36:38.720 of positive
00:36:39.560 things about
00:36:40.280 this guy
00:36:40.720 and how much
00:36:42.200 does that
00:36:42.560 hurt
00:36:43.820 you know
00:36:45.500 you're the
00:36:46.320 personal doctor
00:36:47.460 you had a good
00:36:48.260 relationship
00:36:48.920 he knows you
00:36:50.220 he can stop
00:36:50.980 this madness
00:36:51.800 and he fails
00:36:53.280 to say
00:36:53.700 anything
00:36:54.160 doesn't say
00:36:54.740 a word
00:36:55.200 just lets you
00:36:55.740 hang out there
00:36:56.560 until your
00:36:57.060 career gets
00:36:57.780 destroyed
00:36:58.200 so bad
00:36:58.940 and one more
00:36:59.460 which deserves
00:37:00.000 more attention
00:37:00.620 but we hear
00:37:02.240 all the time
00:37:02.660 you know
00:37:02.860 there's obviously
00:37:03.400 crazy pro-choice
00:37:05.220 people out there
00:37:05.920 but we hear a lot
00:37:07.140 of really normal
00:37:08.140 pro-choice people
00:37:09.040 where are the
00:37:10.360 average everyday
00:37:12.180 person who
00:37:13.400 describes himself
00:37:14.000 as a sane
00:37:14.860 pro-choice person
00:37:15.840 speaking up for
00:37:16.740 Alfie right now
00:37:17.360 why is it only
00:37:18.460 pro-life people

00:37:20.460 the child's
00:37:21.140 two years old

00:37:24.040 the pro-choice
00:37:24.860 people speaking
00:37:25.740 out on behalf
00:37:26.520 of Alfie

00:37:38.980 else
00:37:39.620 well we knew
00:38:03.800 the universities
00:38:04.460 were hostile
00:38:05.060 towards free
00:38:05.920 thinkers but now
00:38:06.940 we have to worry
00:38:07.380 about middle
00:38:07.800 schoolers as well
00:38:08.820 an eighth grader
00:38:10.240 jacob hein

00:38:15.220 bully of a
00:38:15.880 teacher this
00:38:17.460 teacher bullied
00:38:18.480 him for holding
00:38:19.480 conservative beliefs

00:38:21.900 just bringing a
00:38:22.660 conservative news
00:38:23.780 source to class
00:38:24.900 as part of his
00:38:25.520 homework the
00:38:26.740 assignment was to
00:38:27.460 find an article
00:38:28.180 about current
00:38:28.840 events and then
00:38:29.660 translate it into
00:38:30.820 Spanish yes
00:38:32.560 that's right this

00:38:38.360 father describing
00:38:39.340 what happened to
00:38:40.140 his son he
00:38:41.100 turned an article

00:38:55.600 you to know the
00:38:55.980 fox news is fake

00:38:58.140 lies and you're no
00:38:59.000 longer to use fox
00:39:00.020 news as a source for
00:39:01.040 any of these
00:39:01.480 assignments wow
00:39:02.620 obviously he was
00:39:03.780 embarrassed scared
00:39:05.200 she went on to
00:39:06.860 say that she has
00:39:08.640 a new assignment
00:39:09.160 for him he's not
00:39:09.780 to do the normal
00:39:10.320 homework assignment

00:39:18.460 in a full page
00:39:19.020 paper on that
00:39:19.520 wow this is a
00:39:23.760 Spanish class the
00:39:25.600 teachers elitism and
00:39:26.960 intimidation would
00:39:28.100 come as no surprise
00:39:28.960 if jacob were part
00:39:29.820 of a political
00:39:30.320 science class or
00:39:31.460 really any humanities
00:39:32.680 class at this
00:39:33.420 point but the
00:39:34.580 hysterios would
00:39:35.360 still be silly
00:39:36.160 though still
00:39:37.460 uncalled for if
00:39:38.920 jacob were in a
00:39:39.660 high school civics
00:39:40.520 class or a history
00:39:41.400 class or some sort
00:39:42.460 of social justice
00:39:43.840 mesh of the two
00:39:45.020 but it isn't this
00:39:46.820 is Spanish middle
00:39:48.380 school Spanish his
00:39:50.580 Spanish lessons should
00:39:52.460 involve colors days
00:39:54.980 of the week an
00:39:56.380 awkward introductory
00:39:57.500 phrase perhaps even
00:39:59.320 donde esta el 0.98
00:40:00.660 baño why is a
00:40:03.280 Spanish teacher
00:40:04.240 worried about the
00:40:05.860 content of the
00:40:06.800 article at all or
00:40:07.880 where the where the
00:40:09.880 article came from
00:40:11.440 the assignment is to
00:40:13.560 one find an article
00:40:14.880 about current events
00:40:15.880 and to translate it
00:40:18.280 into Spanish if he
00:40:20.280 would have taken a
00:40:21.120 page from Playboy
00:40:22.940 magazine do you think
00:40:24.820 the teacher would have
00:40:26.280 said you can't you
00:40:27.720 can't read Playboy
00:40:28.600 magazine do you know
00:40:29.900 that it's full of
00:40:30.640 pornography do you
00:40:33.020 think the left would
00:40:34.180 have cared not only
00:40:38.820 has Trump derangement
00:40:39.960 syndrome seized our
00:40:41.280 cultural landscape it
00:40:42.720 is infested the lives
00:40:44.520 of our children it is
00:40:46.680 assumed our lives all
00:40:50.100 we can do now is just
00:40:51.580 be honest just be
00:40:53.360 honest be as kind as
00:40:56.080 possible and respond to
00:40:58.840 obstinate fury with
00:41:01.440 dignity and grace
00:41:03.200 it's Thursday April 26th
00:41:11.240 this is the Glenn Beck
00:41:12.820 program
00:41:13.360 Ian Bremmer worked really
00:41:18.820 hard as a kid with the
00:41:20.420 help and encouragement of
00:41:21.520 his single mom his dad died
00:41:23.860 when he was four and he
00:41:25.640 rose up from the
00:41:26.520 projects and earned a
00:41:27.920 college scholarship then
00:41:29.280 eventually earned a PhD in
00:41:30.940 political science he was
00:41:32.680 the youngest ever national
00:41:34.080 fellow at the Hoover
00:41:34.980 institution in 1998 he he
00:41:38.020 took an idea and built it
00:41:39.260 into a company had $25,000
00:41:41.240 and he started the Eurasia
00:41:42.820 group and it's a a leading
00:41:45.780 geopolitical risk research and
00:41:48.860 consulting firm he's still the
00:41:50.900 president at that firm today
00:41:52.240 now that $25,000 investment of
00:41:55.780 his and the idea has offices in
00:41:58.060 New York Washington London
00:41:59.980 Tokyo Sao Paulo and San
00:42:02.400 Francisco as well as a network
00:42:04.300 of experts and resources in 90
00:42:07.200 different countries Larry
00:42:09.220 Sanders said geopolitical economy
00:42:11.920 has no sharper or more
00:42:13.280 prescient analysis than Ian
00:42:16.360 Bremmer
00:42:16.820 Ian welcome to the program
00:42:19.460 good to be back with you
00:42:20.860 Glenn thanks for having me
00:42:21.720 you bet so you've just
00:42:23.600 written a new book and we
00:42:24.440 talked about it last time
00:42:25.280 Iran us versus them the 1.00
00:42:27.600 failure of globalism and
00:42:30.440 it's it's pretty fascinating
00:42:32.260 you can you give us the give
00:42:33.560 us the premise of it
00:42:35.060 well the premise of it I'm
00:42:36.560 glad you kind of introduced my
00:42:37.560 background a bit because you
00:42:39.060 know I'm not raised to be a
00:42:42.280 globalist no one in the
00:42:44.440 projects where I grew up was
00:42:46.280 you know everyone just wanted
00:42:48.300 an opportunity to have a job
00:42:49.580 and maybe do a little better
00:42:50.480 for themselves but when I got
00:42:52.500 out I certainly you know sort
00:42:54.620 of believed that all of the
00:42:57.200 things that the elites in the
00:42:59.000 United States were saying that
00:43:01.100 we wanted free markets that we
00:43:02.800 wanted open borders that we
00:43:04.900 should make the world safe for
00:43:06.260 democracy and send our troops
00:43:07.800 all over the world especially when
00:43:09.060 we defeated the Soviets that way 0.97
00:43:10.600 right and and the technology would
00:43:12.940 sort of you know help everybody as a
00:43:14.400 consequence too and you know
00:43:15.600 looking here in 2018 we realized
00:43:18.240 that while that's worked really
00:43:19.200 well for the globalists there are
00:43:20.880 a lot of Americans and growing
00:43:22.740 every day as well as a lot of
00:43:24.620 Europeans and growing every day
00:43:26.060 who really feel like that
00:43:28.100 ideology has failed them and that's
00:43:31.840 true whether you're talking about
00:43:32.900 the Democrats or Republicans
00:43:34.100 whether you're talking about the
00:43:35.480 political leaders the business
00:43:36.600 leaders the establishment media or
00:43:38.400 the professors and I think that's
00:43:39.840 why you got Trump it's why you got
00:43:41.920 Brexit it's why Macron his calls for
00:43:45.380 stronger Europe and for US
00:43:46.840 multilateralism are falling on deaf
00:43:48.800 ears and I like to get worse I like
00:43:52.460 the fact that you point out in your
00:43:53.740 book that it's all it's not only
00:43:55.260 Trump but that's why you get Bernie
00:43:57.020 Sanders absolutely I mean you know
00:44:00.260 my my mother if she were alive today
00:44:02.620 would have voted for Trump or would
00:44:04.980 have voted for Sanders if he'd been
00:44:06.280 the candidate there's no way she would 1.00
00:44:07.660 have voted for yet another member of
00:44:09.300 the establishment that she believed was
00:44:12.340 lying to her and not caring about her
00:44:14.700 she said the only way her family was
00:44:15.960 going to make it is if she did
00:44:16.880 something because she wasn't going to
00:44:17.940 trust those Washington folks and she
00:44:19.320 used to read the National Enquirer
00:44:20.500 every week she brought it home early
00:44:22.240 fake news as it were but there was a
00:44:24.180 more fundamental truth that spoke to
00:44:26.100 her because she thought that all the
00:44:28.380 fancy facts that were being pushed at
00:44:30.320 her they might have been right they
00:44:31.840 might have had science behind them but
00:44:33.200 they were pushed by people promoting
00:44:34.600 their own agenda and and not caring
00:44:37.600 about her so whether it's building
00:44:40.180 infrastructure and education or
00:44:41.840 health care or whatever so Ian I when
00:44:47.440 people say globalist you know you're a
00:44:50.200 globalist I'm not sure people are
00:44:54.120 defining it in the same way for instance
00:44:56.560 I don't have a problem with global
00:44:58.840 business I don't have a I want free
00:45:01.460 trade I want all of these things but
00:45:03.640 here's what has happened is we have
00:45:07.100 buried our own uniqueness in a way I
00:45:13.940 think you know by by by the European
00:45:16.800 Union being trade partners that's good
00:45:19.420 but by being a single block and saying
00:45:22.040 hey Italians you're no different than 1.00
00:45:25.160 the Swiss and and Swiss you're no 1.00
00:45:27.660 different than the English people do 1.00
00:45:30.300 recognize that our countries are a
00:45:32.720 little different and it's not
00:45:34.100 nationalism it's just a pride of who
00:45:42.020 you are and where you grew up does that
00:45:44.180 make sense of course it does and and
00:45:46.380 the Americans historically have done a
00:45:47.820 much better job of integrating people
00:45:50.340 from different cultures all over the
00:45:51.800 world when they come in than the
00:45:53.840 Europeans do and that's one of the
00:45:57.240 reasons why Germany which has an
00:45:59.040 economy doing very well right now and
00:46:00.720 the working class in Germany feels like 0.97
00:46:02.340 they have a social contract that takes
00:46:04.300 care of them a safety net but Merkel got
00:46:07.660 destroyed in her elections on the back
00:46:11.300 of saying we're going to take in a
00:46:12.620 million Syrian refugees right 0.70
00:46:14.780 Lascone got destroyed in Italy his party
00:46:17.840 lost to the northern league and that's
00:46:19.540 the part of Italy that's making all the 0.85
00:46:20.920 money it's not the south because they 0.87
00:46:23.420 promised that they were going to
00:46:24.860 deport 600,000 Libyans that had been
00:46:27.760 allowed in his migrants over the past
00:46:29.400 years so so what is the problem with
00:46:34.520 globalism and and how do we how do we
00:46:37.240 how do we not retreat into into
00:46:41.080 protectionism and this nonsense that
00:46:44.540 jobs are coming back because jobs are
00:46:46.920 being lost to high tech more than they
00:46:49.640 are to China how do we how do we thread
00:46:53.820 this needle if you will well well you're
00:46:56.640 absolutely right that this is not a
00:46:58.360 problem of free trade per se and free
00:47:00.940 trade we know leads to a lot more
00:47:02.540 growth and opportunities for the global
00:47:04.480 economy and for the United States than
00:47:07.020 protectionism would and yet the average
00:47:09.980 American is not going to support free 1.00
00:47:11.940 trade and shouldn't if it means that no
00:47:15.440 one is going to take that money and
00:47:17.340 invest in their communities right I mean
00:47:20.300 the solutions are fairly obvious I mean
00:47:22.620 you know Trump talks about infrastructure
00:47:25.580 week which has become almost the
00:47:28.460 punchline of a joke right after a year
00:47:31.880 and a half while every day he's talking
00:47:35.740 about building the wall it should be the
00:47:37.340 other way around you should be talking
00:47:38.300 every day about infrastructure and
00:47:40.460 building the wall you can talk about
00:47:41.860 when you campaign and then you kind of
00:47:43.420 let it go right I mean it's are you going
00:47:46.380 to fix the schools are you going to give
00:47:48.140 people especially the early K through 4
00:47:50.660 education as opposed to being at the
00:47:52.840 bottom of the league tables with the
00:47:54.580 OECD as the Americans now are and and
00:47:57.680 there are solutions that are being
00:47:59.620 developed at the local level I see in
00:48:02.400 Baltimore that Johns Hopkins is teaming
00:48:04.880 up with a bunch of corporate CEOs to try
00:48:07.680 to bridge town and gown and really make a
00:48:10.240 difference for the people that otherwise
00:48:11.820 just look at the university as you know
00:48:14.340 sort of something untouchable behind a
00:48:15.960 wall and then other other cities are
00:48:18.480 starting to pick that up I see some
00:48:19.980 CEOs doing universal training that
00:48:21.840 they're paying for like Randall
00:48:23.280 Stevenson from AT&T but these are small
00:48:26.620 scale experiments there's nothing
00:48:28.620 happening at the national level the
00:48:31.120 Democrats are all they're doing is 0.72
00:48:32.820 tearing down Trump every day and
00:48:34.820 talking about impeachment but they're
00:48:36.620 not actually credible in telling the
00:48:39.740 people that feel left behind that
00:48:41.280 they're going to do any better than
00:48:43.260 Trump is for them and I think that's
00:48:44.880 true across Europe too interesting
00:48:48.360 you know interesting timing with your
00:48:50.680 book this week is we talked to Jonah
00:48:52.680 Goldberg whose book also came out this
00:48:54.440 week and you guys really hit on a lot
00:48:56.100 of similar themes one of the points
00:48:58.760 that we talked to him about and I think
00:49:00.360 you talk about as well is that sort of
00:49:02.860 the natural state of people is to go
00:49:06.360 into these sort of tribal worlds and
00:49:09.040 that we're we autumn we sort of our
00:49:12.460 human instinct is to look at these
00:49:14.620 things and not be able to necessarily
00:49:16.240 see the big picture where when you're
00:49:18.360 talking about how for example free
00:49:19.920 trade makes the world a better place
00:49:21.800 but if you're not getting anything out
00:49:22.980 of it and you feel sort of disassociated
00:49:25.860 by that it's a real problem is there a
00:49:28.540 way to communicate to people you know
00:49:30.300 hey these things are generally speaking
00:49:32.000 a good thing but we need to handle them
00:49:34.040 better and we need to make sure that
00:49:35.580 our leaders are getting the money to
00:49:36.780 the right places yeah they have to feel
00:49:39.540 like they're being taken care of one
00:49:40.960 big piece that no one seems to talk
00:49:42.880 about in globalization is the United
00:49:46.060 States sending troops all over the
00:49:47.900 world for failed wars and you know
00:49:50.460 this is exactly the same group that
00:49:53.180 voted for Sanders and voted for Trump
00:49:55.140 there's no way you were going to vote
00:49:56.800 for Hillary or Jeb Bush if you know
00:49:59.480 sort of you are an enlisted man or
00:50:01.660 woman or married to one or extended
00:50:03.500 family of one that came back in pieces
00:50:05.500 with a veteran veterans administration
00:50:07.580 that didn't take care of you we've got 1.00
00:50:09.780 17 years of Afghanistan now it's the 0.99
00:50:12.080 longest war we've ever fought in our
00:50:13.740 entire history and the foreign policy
00:50:16.220 establishment can give you all sorts of
00:50:18.180 good reasons I can give you good
00:50:19.560 reasons why you know we need to keep
00:50:22.120 the Russians down and geostrategic 0.91
00:50:24.500 reasons but you know if you're one of
00:50:26.880 the people that's been sent into that
00:50:28.260 war that that's meant nothing to you
00:50:30.360 because you're not being taken care of
00:50:31.760 because you're not considered a hero when
00:50:33.580 you come back and you know Trump has
00:50:36.060 give Trump credit he's the one guy
00:50:37.800 talking about bringing those 2,000
00:50:39.900 American troops in Syria home he 0.86
00:50:41.240 hasn't done it yet but at least he's
00:50:43.300 talking about it and so I think this is
00:50:45.840 so much deeper than just we need to
00:50:48.880 give these people a check especially
00:50:51.340 because the economy right now is doing
00:50:53.440 incredibly well right better better than
00:50:55.820 we've seen at any point since the
00:50:57.160 financial crisis and yet you still have
00:50:59.460 this anger so it clearly is deeper than
00:51:02.600 just let me give you a little bit back
00:51:05.020 from your taxes let me give you a
00:51:06.420 Christmas time bonus well you know I I
00:51:09.400 let me go back to what you said about
00:51:11.360 the wall I think the wall is a symptom
00:51:14.120 of of people being tired of being lied to
00:51:19.820 by the press by you know the
00:51:22.460 administrations by Congress what people
00:51:26.020 really want is or what they what let me
00:51:28.400 say this I think what they fear or feel
00:51:31.260 is not you know as the press would say
00:51:35.540 otherness what they fear is that people
00:51:39.860 are coming in here we don't know who they
00:51:42.640 are some of them have caused real
00:51:46.180 problems others are just you know hard
00:51:48.340 working families but you don't know
00:51:50.260 which is which and most importantly that
00:51:53.480 we're trapping people in a secondary
00:51:56.440 culture there's a there's a subculture
00:51:59.840 here of America what made America really
00:52:02.680 truly great was people would come in and
00:52:05.420 they would assimilate but now the
00:52:07.640 assimilation is over and in fact all we're 0.96
00:52:10.160 celebrating now is our differences while
00:52:12.480 denigrating the American culture the
00:52:14.800 traditional American culture and I think
00:52:16.980 people say you know I don't believe anybody
00:52:19.620 in Congress anymore that you're going to
00:52:21.640 actually have comprehensive immigration
00:52:24.340 reform that is good you're not going to
00:52:27.360 pay attention to the border this border
00:52:29.200 wall is permanent and so I don't have to
00:52:31.740 listen to you clowns anymore I think that's
00:52:35.120 what's happening and the more that the
00:52:38.000 press and the the ruling class dismisses the
00:52:43.240 voice and the feelings of the people the
00:52:47.040 more they're going to they're going to say
00:52:49.320 uh you know you're in trouble and I want
00:52:52.600 this which is it just becomes more and
00:52:55.620 more extreme as you go down the road
00:52:57.620 if you want integration of immigrants you
00:53:02.980 need common values in a country you need
00:53:06.000 civic nationalism that works yes you had
00:53:08.800 mentioned Glenn that um you know uh that
00:53:11.120 automation and technology is taking away
00:53:13.940 far more jobs now than globalization uh has
00:53:17.300 and you're right about that manufacturing
00:53:19.100 jobs clearly but the other piece of
00:53:20.940 technology of course is that in the west
00:53:23.600 technology right now is ripping apart
00:53:26.040 civic nationalism we're getting our
00:53:28.040 information from advertising companies
00:53:30.100 that treat us not as citizens of a
00:53:32.360 collective a nation but instead as
00:53:34.840 consumers and they need to divide us so
00:53:37.700 that we can be more clear demographics to
00:53:39.740 be advertised to I mean everything in
00:53:43.020 society today in the United States and in
00:53:45.840 Europe is moving us farther apart from
00:53:49.040 common and shared values Trump is taking
00:53:52.160 advantage of that more than anyone out
00:53:54.540 there because he is the ultimate us
00:53:56.860 versus them politician he's the one that's
00:53:59.380 able to really say you're winners or you're
00:54:01.700 losers you're with us or against us and
00:54:04.140 America first everyone else second that's 0.98
00:54:06.560 the way it should be but when when that's
00:54:09.660 what people identify with then clearly you're
00:54:12.720 not going to have any support for large
00:54:15.140 numbers of immigrants coming in precisely
00:54:17.220 because the mechanisms to integrate will
00:54:20.580 go away my grandmother came to Ellis Island 0.99
00:54:22.860 from Aleppo Syria she was an Armenian and
00:54:25.580 Syrian Christian and that's I mean for me
00:54:28.580 when I grew up I that's what I thought
00:54:30.480 America was all about I wanted to bring in 1.00
00:54:33.080 all of these diverse people because it was
00:54:35.260 going to that cultural diversity would lead
00:54:37.400 to diversity of ideas entrepreneurship and
00:54:40.260 what truly made America great but people
00:54:42.800 don't feel that anymore and the trends in
00:54:45.120 our society are moving in the other
00:54:46.780 direction okay so Ian Bremmer is with us
00:54:49.700 see he is the author of the book us versus
00:54:51.640 them the failure of globalism it's
00:54:54.120 available this week everywhere the books
00:54:57.000 are found we'll continue conversation here
00:54:59.080 in just a second first let me tell you about
00:55:03.820 our sponsor this half hour it's gold line I
00:55:08.280 read a disturbing piece of news today just
00:55:14.460 the way that it was phrased let me see if I
00:55:16.360 can do it here it is Americans are hoarding 0.89
00:55:20.420 money in their checking accounts and that's a
00:55:23.820 problem wait a minute Americans are hoarding 0.65
00:55:27.200 money no Americans don't feel as comfortable
00:55:31.900 with the banks and with the economy as maybe
00:55:35.260 they should and so what they're doing is
00:55:38.000 they're keeping it in a checking account
00:55:39.840 this is disturbing because of the word
00:55:42.940 hoarding and the article goes on to to talk
00:55:46.260 about the dangers of quote hoarding money
00:55:48.660 well that's that's disturbing because what I
00:55:53.840 think one of the reasons why we hoard money
00:55:55.500 is we don't trust the system we need something
00:55:59.320 we can trust in the meantime when things have
00:56:03.280 gone insane on the brink historically speaking
00:56:07.220 people go to gold gold and silver with rising
00:56:11.140 inflation gold is the hedge it's not an all-in
00:56:14.600 kind of strategy it's it's a hedge against
00:56:17.640 inflation it's a hedge against insanity that's
00:56:21.100 why you should have you know your money in
00:56:23.340 diverse places gold I recommend is one of
00:56:27.100 them right now you can call gold line and
00:56:30.880 find out ask for the free information on
00:56:33.040 why smart investors are investing in gold
00:56:35.920 and hedging the bet you can call today see how
00:56:38.920 easy it is to own gold and silver but do your
00:56:41.980 own research 866 gold line 1-866 gold line or

00:56:48.700 glenn back mercury
00:56:52.840 glenn back we're talking to ian bremer he has
00:57:11.820 written a uh a great book about the failure of
00:57:14.900 globalism us versus them uh when we come back i i i want
00:57:20.520 to get into some solutions but i also uh he he talks a lot
00:57:26.200 about ai in the book and the coming technology
00:57:29.340 technological revolution and uh when you want to talk
00:57:33.320 about us versus them there there is a time coming when
00:57:37.080 politicians will do what all politicians do and when they
00:57:40.540 can when they have to stop blaming china for the loss of jobs
00:57:43.960 they're going to have to turn to somebody else and that's going to be
00:57:47.400 high tech that's going to be the makers of ai
00:57:50.300 how do we weather that and when will the average person begin to
00:57:56.440 really feel the impact of ai and what does it mean for
00:58:02.240 stability in the country and stability in the rest of the world
00:58:06.100 when we come back
00:58:07.820 glenn back mercury
00:58:15.480 this is the glenn back program
00:58:30.100 ian bremer author of the book us versus them the failure of uh globalism
00:58:36.360 is uh with us and ian let me let me take you to uh what you write about
00:58:42.720 with ai and the rise of of ai you see as i do great disruption
00:58:49.440 um i see um the human story uh as being you know corrupt politicians and uh and
00:58:59.380 the use of fear to drive us into really dark places
00:59:04.660 or the opportunity to really expand and be great
00:59:08.980 can you tell me when ai you think is going to really begin to
00:59:13.520 impact people in a way that they see
00:59:17.060 well we know i mean it's already affecting us greatly
00:59:21.560 uh in terms of uh big data and being able to use
00:59:26.240 voice and facial recognition to more effectively sort people that
00:59:30.120 facilitates more consumption but in china for example it means that you don't see
00:59:35.460 uh demonstrations in shenzhen anymore northwest china because they uh have the
00:59:40.440 ability uh from satellite um to uh to identify you know sort of every citizen
00:59:46.020 and where they are and when there's a problem and so no more violence right
00:59:49.380 um that's kind of 1984 ish right um and uh and look i i think that ai um going
00:59:58.200 forward over the next sort of 10 years
01:00:00.860 in the united states in the 48 the lower 48
01:00:04.280 driving being a trucker or car driver is the
01:00:07.960 single or second most popular job
01:00:11.980 um in every single one of those states and within 10 years those jobs are
01:00:16.340 going to be all go away right and every ceo i talk to in the united
01:00:21.600 states literally everyone they can be in pharma they can be in broad
01:00:25.500 manufacturing they can be in high tech you name it
01:00:28.400 they're all telling banking uh lawyers accountants they're all telling me about
01:00:33.320 how they can make more money with fewer people going forward
01:00:37.340 um and that's in a great economy that's not when a recession hits and suddenly
01:00:41.900 they have to actually dig deep into their costs and suddenly lay off a bunch
01:00:46.060 of people um ai may well develop a lot of new jobs in
01:00:50.040 new fields but we know that the people that are being displaced right now do not
01:00:55.080 have the skills to enter any of those jobs and there there's no plans to train
01:01:00.280 them and in the united states at least we're rich so i mean if you're working
01:01:05.220 class and you suddenly don't have a job or you have to be part-time
01:01:08.840 you're not going to starve you're not going to set yourself on fire like they
01:01:12.360 did in tunisia but in emerging markets who have benefited their middle classes
01:01:17.380 have benefited the most from globalization because they had cheap labor
01:01:21.000 well their labor is more expensive now now that the computers are coming
01:01:24.720 what's going to happen to them what happens to all of those countries in
01:01:27.920 their middle classes that's when this becomes not an issue we need to talk 0.64
01:01:32.520 about but suddenly a real crisis and i i'm go ahead good that's fine um i i'm
01:01:40.380 i'm concerned however we have a very low uh threshold for pain uh you know we we're
01:01:46.420 not going to starve to death but we also expect an awful lot um i i don't think
01:01:51.640 people are really thinking through what uh ai is going to mean uh so there and
01:01:58.300 nobody's really teaching them and so it's going to come as a surprise you know
01:02:02.800 people right now politicians are saying i'm going to bring your jobs back no
01:02:05.960 they're not that's a lie that's a lie the jobs are not coming back and we don't
01:02:10.640 have a willingness and i want to say this carefully because it's a conservative
01:02:14.840 audience and and you need to understand that we have to explore seriously all
01:02:23.240 options because the world is changing but a lot of people are not willing to look
01:02:28.560 at universal basic income which i'm not for i don't think will work but something
01:02:35.140 is going to have to be done because we're going to look at 30 percent unemployment
01:02:39.500 that's according to bain capital by 2030 that's not that's not a workable uh society
01:02:47.100 i don't like universal basic income either i think it's an it's an easy you know sort
01:02:52.840 of uh ideological fix that yes sort of obviates the requirements of governments to actually
01:02:59.400 ensure that people matter well finland finland just it finland has been experimenting for
01:03:05.940 two years and finland just dropped their experiments that it failed so that's right and and switzerland
01:03:11.460 was going to have a big vote for it last year voted against it um but you know i think there
01:03:16.060 are other ways uh to get at this issue but we need to recognize that the country that's doing
01:03:20.160 the most to address this right now is actually china where they have more industrial robots than
01:03:26.100 any other country in the world they're leading the world in producing them um and at the same time
01:03:32.300 they're leading the world as a government in ensuring the continued employment of inefficient labor
01:03:37.900 you remember so how do you how do you do how do you do that without fundamentally um changing your
01:03:47.680 constitution into something along the lines of the former soviet union or china where everybody's
01:03:53.580 guaranteed a job that that's fundamentally against the american nature the new deal uh on the back of 0.53
01:04:02.660 the great depression uh had all sorts of incredible public works projects through the government for
01:04:09.980 average americans that wasn't anti-american that's what you do when otherwise you know on the back of
01:04:15.780 the gilded age when structural inequality in the u.s grew way out of whack and the average person didn't
01:04:21.080 have anything that's when we put social security in place that's when we suddenly gave people pensions
01:04:25.960 um you know i mean none of those was done but none of those are workable none of those are workable
01:04:32.060 solutions because the math doesn't work you know the math i mean that's why we're one of the reasons
01:04:39.140 why we're you know so we're the biggest debtor in the world um is because we wanted the great society
01:04:45.220 we are the biggest debtor in the world but um we also have the greatest assets and i i don't understand
01:04:52.540 people that only focus on deficit spending we don't look at the other side of the balance sheet
01:04:56.740 when you talk about a corporation you'd never talk about debt by itself if you were going to invest in
01:05:01.360 their stock or not there's a reason why the dollar remains the global reserve currency we're about to
01:05:06.640 pass saudi arabia as the world's leading oil producer later this year we're the world's leading
01:05:12.320 food producer we're exporting to the chinese they're importing from us we've got the world's largest
01:05:17.820 military we have the best universities in the world our ability to spend if we want to on making
01:05:25.060 us have the best you know early school training uh and have digital training follow people through
01:05:32.420 their lifetimes we could do that if we wanted to it's not a priority and it's not a priority because
01:05:38.720 i think that the average person can take more pain in the united states it's just not that urgent we're
01:05:43.440 not demonstrating so so but here's the here's the problem with that ian is um the government has
01:05:49.420 proven itself to be wildly inefficient in a lot of those in those categories and if you go to washington
01:05:56.500 and i know i know you know this i talk to people in washington uh about high tech in the future
01:06:03.220 they are so out of touch uh with i mean it is it's it's like talking to a you know the somebody in
01:06:12.940 the bell system you know about uh about the internet they don't they just don't even understand
01:06:19.460 it yet yeah i mean there's no question uh that if we're going to have efficient solutions that are
01:06:27.140 going to work they're going to start at least uh in the private sector and they're going to start
01:06:32.260 in state governments and in city governments they're not going to start with washington but you
01:06:37.000 were asking me what the solutions were and you said we can't pay for solutions i don't think that's
01:06:41.060 true i think we absolutely can and i think you can do public private partnerships too i think there's
01:06:46.760 lots of ways that the u.s government doesn't have to take over programs but could help fund them
01:06:51.340 could help provide you know so in the same way that we do x prizes um to try to create private
01:06:57.320 sector competition and that darpa which is part of the u.s government got driverless cars moving by
01:07:04.740 funding competitions that the private sector and universities have gotten into what
01:07:09.200 why can't our government fund competitions to fix this with big money we could do that we're not
01:07:14.420 doing it yeah so i so i agree i agree with that i just think this is going to require vastly different
01:07:21.860 thinking at the political level uh than than anybody that i've that i've seen uh that wants to run
01:07:29.520 because they're all still feeding a machine uh that is you know that that is really i mean is is big
01:07:37.220 state looks like you know the 1950s uh and it's going to move faster than that it's going to be
01:07:43.360 different than that and we just need some innovative thinking when you say we can't we can't afford it
01:07:49.120 i agree with you that our assets are great what concerns me is we're spending money on crazy
01:07:56.360 stupid stuff wildly inefficiently and the people in washington they're there it's not like they're
01:08:04.500 running a business it's it's they're running a campaign all the time and so there's there's nobody at
01:08:10.540 the helm it seems that the swamp is not being drained and electing donald trump did nothing to drain the
01:08:20.160 swamp electing barack obama did nothing to drain the swamp and those structural challenges for the u.s
01:08:27.060 government are the reasons why in the near term what we're going to see is a lot more walls because
01:08:33.220 if you can't address this if you refuse to address this by actually helping the people then the
01:08:39.780 political response the successful political response is i'm going to create us versus them
01:08:46.040 i'm going to show you yes give you the nationalism it worked in israel against the palestinians
01:08:51.900 no one talks about a two-state solution anymore it's great as long as you're on the right side of
01:08:56.260 the wall and i fear that that's the quote-unquote solution that we are increasingly embracing in the
01:09:01.940 u.s because no one is swamp draining ian bremer uh author of us versus them the failure of globalism
01:09:08.780 thank you so much ian i appreciate it great to be with you we obviously uh disagree on a lot of things
01:09:18.160 but there is a lot to agree on there uh very uh very astute at what is coming and and the us versus
01:09:29.900 them disease uh that politician will turn to if we're not self-educated enough to know what the real
01:09:39.780 problems are ian bremer and uh us versus them the future of globalism all right
01:09:47.700 let me tell you about uh the palm beach letter and something that we have uh asked them to do
01:09:54.040 for you and honestly for me uh i've talked about bitcoin for years in fact if i would have if i
01:10:00.180 would have been comfortable with what bitcoin is how it works etc i would have invested i think it was
01:10:07.660 it was about 200 when i first was told by one of the real big guys in uh in silicon valley you know
01:10:13.780 you should really look into bitcoin and invest in bitcoin i didn't do it uh because i believe you
01:10:19.980 know in uh uh what's his name the big investor stew from uh uh from nebraska oh shoot what's his name
01:10:30.260 anyway when he said uh you know don't invest in something that you don't that you don't understand
01:10:35.980 yes thank you warren buffett uh i i didn't understand it well that kept me out of the market for a long
01:10:42.240 time now i've made a lot of money bitcoin is back up on a real big upswing what's the percentage
01:10:48.920 increase stew in the last month or so 50 yeah i mean that's amazing uh it's very volatile and risky
01:10:57.620 you don't want to go all in on it but you do want to do your homework so we found a guy named tika
01:11:02.360 toari he's from the palm beach letter former wall street hedge fund manager who has arguably helped
01:11:08.340 more people profit from cryptocurrencies than anybody else we brought him into the office and
01:11:13.060 can you explain how this works can you explain how to invest in it he did so we asked him can you
01:11:19.140 make a course for our audience that's what he's done it's a master course and i i want you to go
01:11:25.980 right now to the website smartcryptocourse.com smartcryptocourse.com and start your course
01:11:34.980 right now i urge you to check out this glenn beck exclusive course at smartcryptocourse.com now
01:11:42.860 glenn beck mercury
01:11:47.100 glenn beck
01:11:59.980 so i went to shaky's pizza last night it's a big day is a memory from your childhood
01:12:07.300 there's no player piano anymore there's a it was it was it did it had taken away many of the shaky's
01:12:15.980 things that were you know so you were left with uh pizza just just really good pizza though at least
01:12:24.780 well it was you know it was pizza that uh you know shaky's you know is spelled with an sh right
01:12:32.420 in the front for a reason i think and oh no and that's because it's shaky's pizza uh was not uh
01:12:40.740 everything you remembered about it well no it is exactly the way i remember the pizza uh you know i was
01:12:47.760 looking for the experience you know of the old but it wasn't the same it wasn't the same old place
01:12:53.220 it wasn't you know you can't go back in time but i found out that they do weddings
01:12:59.160 you know and and i'm just saying i haven't been to the other shaky's which seems to be like the old
01:13:07.160 one where you would see them you know flip the dough and you know throw it up in the air and stuff
01:13:12.120 i don't know for sure but there is another shaky's and i'm just thinking that you know
01:13:17.620 maybe sometime when we're out here that if somebody wants to get married
01:13:22.340 and i can perform the ceremony they're at shaky's
01:13:27.300 are you advertising your availability i'm just i'm just saying and i would maybe buy everybody a
01:13:35.820 pitcher of beer you know individually so you you you would each get a pitcher of beer
01:13:41.400 a whole pitcher for each person well i think yes remember shaky's opened up on their grand opening
01:13:49.600 without any pizza just the beer and so maybe maybe that would be a good idea uh you know of just
01:13:58.340 it's one that's one description of it a good idea is one available description right i'm i'm just saying
01:14:04.880 that i was intrigued that they they do wedding receptions there is that a popular thing i do
01:14:13.340 i don't know i'm not from california so i don't know lots of things are popular in california that i
01:14:19.380 do not understand yeah lots of people on the streets here that you i just would like to stop and just say
01:14:28.640 can we sit down and talk for a minute because i need to understand well let's just start with
01:14:34.860 the outfit i just need to yeah you got up this morning what else what other options were in your
01:14:41.720 closet interesting because talking to them is actually the exact opposite of my instinct when
01:14:48.580 i go to california i just never want to speak to anyone ever again no i'm i'm a little i'm very
01:14:55.620 curious about people here i really i just because they they everybody's trying to make a statement
01:15:03.320 and i really kind of want to know what other options did you have were there is your whole
01:15:11.480 closet like this or was this just one you pulled out and went i don't know i think this one works
01:15:17.120 options life's all about options and diversity and the diversity here is worth talking to
01:15:24.960 glenn beck mercury
01:15:29.760 love courage truth glenn beck yesterday a cold rain
01:15:53.760 muted dallas gray clouds hung overhead and rain mostly puttered down most people stayed indoors
01:16:05.380 the day before it was sunny and warm and so the sudden cold that moved in overnight felt somehow or
01:16:12.360 another twice as cold
01:16:14.360 but that isn't why the city moved a little slower yesterday
01:16:19.720 a dallas police officer rogelio santander
01:16:25.880 and fellow officer crystal almeda were in a hospital officer santander died at eleven o'clock
01:16:38.140 sorry at eight o'clock
01:16:39.540 and almeda lay in a hospital bed wounded in critical condition
01:16:46.520 it was on tuesday about 4 p.m that they arrived at a home depot in lake highlands it's a neighborhood northeast of dallas an off-duty police officer was working there
01:16:58.140 working there as a security guard and he caught a man shoplifting something though felt off
01:17:03.980 and the man pulled a gun from his pocket and started shooting
01:17:07.760 right at officer almeda and officer santander
01:17:12.520 hitting the off-duty officer a bystander shots fired the call went out
01:17:19.720 the shooter fled roaring away in his shabby white ford 250 the ladder rack was rattling as he sped from the scene
01:17:30.280 shots fired officer down
01:17:33.480 in dallas the scars are still pretty fresh
01:17:41.160 slightly less than two years ago dallas was a scene of a senseless violence directed at police
01:17:47.140 when a hate-driven shooter killed five dallas police officers
01:17:51.300 who had been protecting protesters black lives matter
01:17:55.260 many of these protesters were protesting the police themselves
01:17:59.500 for those of us in dallas we remember the scene
01:18:04.300 and for those of us in dallas it's playing out all over again
01:18:08.340 at a press conference following this week's shooting
01:18:13.000 mayor mike rawlings spoke with the gravity of somebody who's been through
01:18:17.040 all of this before once again it it sobers us to realize
01:18:22.880 what officers walk into day in and day out
01:18:28.560 and how quickly they can become victims
01:18:33.280 i am
01:18:35.720 continued to be upset
01:18:42.380 and the lack of respect of our police
01:18:45.820 in the city in in in our country
01:18:49.720 and now's the moment that we can lift them up
01:18:52.480 these press conferences have become
01:18:55.880 unfortunately familiar to all of us
01:18:59.580 it was just a couple of days ago
01:19:01.840 that sergeant noel ramirez and deputy taylor lindsey
01:19:06.240 were shot dead while eating lunch
01:19:08.500 yesterday a deputy corporal
01:19:12.080 dale lancaster of maine died in a gunfight
01:19:15.840 in yarmouth massachusetts a police sergeant
01:19:19.880 sean gannon was shot dead in an attic
01:19:23.180 that's it just in the last few days
01:19:27.740 since the beginning of the year at least two dozen police officers have died by gunfire
01:19:34.600 died violently
01:19:35.620 i think it's important that we at least hear their names
01:19:39.840 i think it's important that we see their pictures in the news and hear their stories
01:19:45.580 maybe just maybe if we just hear their name
01:19:49.900 it will help people see the value
01:19:52.860 of the life
01:19:54.460 that is wearing blue
01:19:56.280 it's thursday april 26th
01:20:04.920 this is the glenn beck program
01:20:07.020 welcome to jonathan dunn
01:20:09.680 one of our writers and good friends
01:20:11.460 from ireland who is uh who has been watching the alfie evans story for us in the last couple of weeks
01:20:19.240 jonathan how are you sir
01:20:20.720 thank you so much for having me glenn it's uh it's great to be here
01:20:25.120 just wish it was under better circumstances
01:20:27.120 so what is what's happened with alfie evans since uh the last 24 hours
01:20:34.120 so the last 24 hours has um been pretty good for a young alfie
01:20:39.260 he's um he's not having major complications
01:20:42.140 he's still um he's still breathing
01:20:45.560 um he's still in the hospital
01:20:47.180 and the biggest update is that um
01:20:49.860 uh thomas has met with the um the doctors in alder hay this morning
01:20:54.740 they're trying to get him
01:20:55.680 they're pleading with them to let him to go home
01:20:58.000 um and the last update we had was that he was pretty confident
01:21:01.700 some agreement could be reached
01:21:03.320 and that he'd be home in the next one to two days
01:21:06.060 but that hasn't been confirmed yet
01:21:07.880 jonathan we are looking to send this boy home
01:21:10.900 when instead he is now an italian citizen
01:21:15.380 the italians have said this is this is the murder of an italian citizen
01:21:21.180 uh the the pope wants him the hospitals are ready
01:21:25.200 the pope is has a helicopter ready to go to take him
01:21:29.120 why why won't the government let him go to to italy
01:21:35.260 um there's many reasons for this this is all boiling down to there are many
01:21:42.160 reasons we need to discuss this story it's about the sanctity of life
01:21:45.260 and it's it's about is life actually truly precious
01:21:48.340 and is life worth doing everything you can
01:21:52.380 to stand for this issue
01:21:54.280 and we have a system in in europe right now where we have two problems
01:21:58.500 one we don't believe life is sacred and you know what been on the ground there
01:22:03.080 in liverpool on monday it was an amazing amazing thing
01:22:05.920 there's a clear class system in england and
01:22:08.460 what hello do we lose jonathan i knew this connection was just too good to be true from
01:22:17.140 from ireland read his report at glennbeck.com because he he described the scene he went to
01:22:25.180 the hospital and he was just standing there uh in the crowd and jonathan uh usually wears black and
01:22:34.280 he wears a big cross around his neck and he said that um people came up to him and said are you a priest
01:22:40.720 and he said no and their next comment was astounding
01:22:46.660 well where are the priests jonathan didn't have an answer
01:22:52.920 where are the religious people where how come
01:22:56.600 the priests aren't leading their congregations to stand for this life
01:23:01.140 the pope is
01:23:03.040 where are the priests
01:23:04.520 it's a pretty amazing article and you can find it at glennbeck.com
01:23:08.780 um do we have him back on
01:23:10.840 is he back on uh
01:23:12.300 no no it doesn't look like all right well just
01:23:14.740 thank him for that uh report and if he
01:23:16.840 has more to report we'll we'll make sure
01:23:18.880 we have him on tomorrow one interesting thing
01:23:20.860 glenn quickly on this is uh we were talking
01:23:22.720 about how where are the pro-choice people kind
01:23:24.840 of standing up for this because if you're a pro-choicer
01:23:27.280 you're you're you
01:23:28.800 of course don't think that you know
01:23:30.700 uh life in the womb is life but
01:23:32.640 this is not life in the womb this is life
01:23:34.620 two years out of the womb
01:23:36.420 uh and deserves your support and i think it would mean a lot
01:23:40.560 right coming from pro-choice people
01:23:42.260 if they actually find that line well
01:23:44.020 especially if you say if you say you know
01:23:46.780 i believe in a mother's right
01:23:48.980 to choose or a woman's right 0.99
01:23:50.940 to choose mom is
01:23:52.840 choosing life for her child
01:23:54.580 and her child is already born
01:23:57.140 are we really in a culture of death
01:24:00.780 why is it no one is standing up for this kid
01:24:03.900 or very few
01:24:05.120 interesting uh now piers morgan is not exactly a huge figure here in the united
01:24:08.580 states at this point uh but he's still a pretty big figure
01:24:11.020 in uh in the uk and he actually has tweeted his support
01:24:14.820 uh for alfie let them take him home
01:24:17.620 um which you know that's not real support i don't think that's real support
01:24:21.820 i don't know i really don't it's something you get him home
01:24:24.160 no it is it is you know let me take him home but
01:24:27.000 excuse me let me take him to a hospital that will treat him
01:24:32.440 yeah i gotta do it that's that's the me taking them home is uh i wouldn't bring him home i mean
01:24:39.320 if i were them i would bring him immediately to my new home on this airplane
01:24:43.360 i don't think you can do it i don't think you could get out of the country
01:24:47.560 it would be interesting to see i mean if you're if you could get to the italian embassy
01:24:52.260 uh no that's true i mean he's an italian citizen
01:24:56.580 yeah that's true italian citizen from leaving the country i don't know it's amazing they are 0.99
01:25:01.780 oh man that's a good idea there's the home i would take him to the italian embassy
01:25:08.120 that's a really good idea um stew can you help me out on a couple of things here um we we had
01:25:15.920 macron uh yesterday speaking to congress and he said uh you know both in america and in europe
01:25:22.620 we're living in a time of fear and you can play with fear and anger for a time but they don't
01:25:27.320 construct anything anger only fears and freak and weakens us and closing the door to the world will
01:25:33.300 not stop the evolution of the world it won't douse but inflame the fear of our citizens basically
01:25:38.900 what he was saying was you guys got to come back to the table of the paris accords because you know
01:25:44.540 we're not peddling fear here it's just that if you don't the whole world will be destroyed i've
01:25:53.080 always loved that because they used to i know remember remember you in the doom closet or whatever
01:25:57.100 colbert used to say room the doom room where you'd have come up with these crazy scenarios where the
01:26:01.760 world was going to end and then they would criticize you for not being alarmist enough about global
01:26:06.300 warming which is always side by side such a fun i know such a fun thing i mean it's it's uh he said
01:26:12.400 what didn't he say make make the planet great again i mean like i you know he's really sort of
01:26:17.540 trolling the planet is pretty great i i don't i don't know if you know that and man didn't make
01:26:22.260 it great it's just it's it's pretty great but now we're talking about people uh i want you to cover
01:26:28.880 two stories for me one that climate change needs to be handled like war now yeah really dangerous
01:26:36.860 yeah that's what they're saying and this is they're trying to make the actual conservative case
01:26:40.620 this is a case to conservatives uh we spend 590 billion dollars on defense in 2017 that's up to
01:26:47.960 over 700 billion this year but climate change poses a more significant threat to global security
01:26:53.620 than the low probability event of a ground war with china uh we we've maintained readiness against
01:27:01.540 readiness against an unlikely prospect of a large conventional war it's time for conservatives to
01:27:06.340 recognize our constitutional mandate to provide for the common defense by addressing the rising
01:27:11.440 threat of climate change there are three primary explanations for this i love these first is the
01:27:17.780 science settled it doesn't matter that's number one wait wait it doesn't matter now no it doesn't
01:27:25.960 matter okay so science doesn't matter no okay it doesn't matter because we have an obligation to be
01:27:30.940 prepared to defend the country even if the threat is uncertain now of course no no there is no we
01:27:37.460 don't i mean we do against you know a threat like you know you could say iran right like you would
01:27:45.280 still even though we might not go to war with iran we hope to not go to a war with iran it's not
01:27:48.980 certain we're going to a war with iran we still would defend against a war with iran and i understand
01:27:53.360 the concept but that's not what we're talking about there are some that are saying that uh this would
01:27:58.060 be like defending ourself and building a missile shield for the evil ugandans which have this giant 1.00
01:28:05.400 missile uh factory that they've there's no sign the science is not there to support that right and i
01:28:12.840 think like you know conservatives are always put out to be anti-science right we don't care we're not
01:28:18.820 listening to the scientists though the hope in science i think is clear almost only almost exclusively
01:28:24.360 with conservatives we are the ones that are saying that we believe there will be all these
01:28:29.260 innovations and adaptations i mean look at what you're talking about with ai glenn if a if global
01:28:34.660 warming is this gigantic problem that they claim that it's going to be you know the resources that
01:28:41.280 you could put at it just when ai develops would probably be able to solve that almost immediately and
01:28:46.400 many scientists have talked about this i mean it is it does exist in in the academic literature it's
01:28:52.160 just not it's not going to get you and there's no fear votes out of that you know scientific solutions
01:28:57.480 don't help there all right so number one science doesn't matter we got to come back to science
01:29:02.500 number two uh can we afford to act yes in the coming decade no we can't in the coming decades and
01:29:08.940 look at these numbers when they're they're being honest here with some of these numbers and it's
01:29:12.840 interesting in the coming decades we will collectively spend approximately two trillion dollars to
01:29:18.000 maintain our electrical grid upgrading the existing grid to a near zero carbon solution would cost
01:29:25.660 approximately two to three trillion dollars we could upgrade the grid without costing ourselves a penny
01:29:32.000 more than the status quo if we start working now that was a bunch of things to unpack from that
01:29:36.540 number one just taking what he says is the actual truth here that it's gonna we're gonna spend two
01:29:43.320 trillion dollars to maintain our grid and we can upgrade it for two to three trillion you're adding
01:29:48.340 an entire trillion dollars on top of your own estimate yeah and wait a minute hang on that's the grid
01:29:55.720 right that's not what's making the power right the grid is the wires and the and the switching it's
01:30:03.640 the coal plant that's actually making the power that goes into the grid you're right that's a big part of
01:30:10.880 that uh and also i think is there no maintenance costs to this new system because you're talking
01:30:16.580 about two trillion dollars to maintain the old system you can build the new one for two to three
01:30:22.280 trillion which by the way is a 50 percent increase not he's a uh it won't it won't cost ourself a
01:30:28.120 penny more no it won't be a penny more it's 50 percent more it's an extra trillion so it's an extra
01:30:33.880 trillion and then you have to add on to that what the maintenance cost would be for that system
01:30:38.080 so it would obviously be even more than three trillion dollars uh and then finally third uh
01:30:43.700 should emissions from other nations influence whether the united states works to address climate
01:30:48.120 change no it should not apparently um which is kind of an interesting thing because as we point out
01:30:54.980 you know china and all of these other um countries around the world india and china being the two main
01:31:00.760 ones are adding so much uh when it comes to emissions and new plants even though they're also adding a lot of
01:31:07.280 of capacity when it comes to zero carbon stuff it doesn't matter they're what they're doing with
01:31:12.900 you know with fossil fuels still outpaces anything that we can cut i mean you can absolutely shut off
01:31:18.980 every car in america not make them hybrids but just turn them off we walk everywhere for the rest of 0.99
01:31:23.360 our lives and it's not going to do anything compared to what china is doing as far as their growth 1.00
01:31:27.160 so you know it doesn't matter i guess we could lead in a unilateral sort of way and hope everyone
01:31:33.280 follows us in the end after we've spent three trillion dollars and one of the many projects we'd
01:31:39.060 need to do to actually make this happen but i mean you know most likely they won't do that because
01:31:44.000 they're still worried about feeding their you know their populations um you know survival comes before
01:31:49.580 global warming it always does when when we have all of these experts declare that they are from
01:31:57.360 here on out vegan or vegetarian i'll start to take them seriously because that's the biggest thing
01:32:04.060 anybody can do stop eating meat when you do that you start to hear the planet all right uh let me tell

01:33:22.080 glenn beck mercury
01:33:26.160 glenn beck
01:33:40.800 so stew the there was a new study that has come out a couple of new studies that say
01:33:49.240 oh you know what um i think the ipcc may be may may have been wrong on global warming yeah
01:33:57.140 well then well it comes from uh american meteorological society's journal of climate
01:34:02.420 which is a completely legitimate source judith curry is one of the authors very smart um she 1.00
01:34:07.660 is someone who has uh written over 140 scientific papers she wrote thermodynamics of atmospheres and
01:34:15.660 oceans and encyclopedia of atmospheric sciences i know those are two of your favorites oh i love those
01:34:21.480 yeah the first one more than the second but um really um yeah she was first well in the public well
01:34:28.060 known because in 2005 she wrote a story about a paper about hurricanes and she that um basically said
01:34:34.760 uh hurricanes will be more intense because of global warming so so she was a global warming believer
01:34:41.900 completely and was and was thrust down into the media as this oh you know again it was a scare story
01:34:46.500 this is 2005 um and then after 2000 um and she was attacked by people on who didn't believe in global
01:34:54.140 warming on the right as as this so that's who she is she's dealt with that before uh 2009 happens 0.85
01:34:59.340 climate gate happens and she kind of goes out and writes a a paper just a an online blog type of
01:35:06.840 thing um that says hey you know maybe it's a good idea that people will pay attention to some of the
01:35:13.540 fundamentals of climate change more if we don't try to scare them with every little crazy thing that
01:35:18.120 comes out you know just like hey let's let's be honest when we have uncertainty about things
01:35:23.280 and since then she's been evil climate denier number one um just for saying maybe we should be
01:35:29.840 reasoned yes uh however her news again a peer-reviewed study uh says the predicted global
01:35:36.600 temperature increases will now uh be less than expected 30 to 45 percent less than what the ipc said
01:35:44.200 uh the warning is is going to be substantially lower than the central computer model simulated level
01:35:49.800 protected by the ipcc which is the u.n uh climate group 30 to 45 percent less that's your consensus
01:35:56.480 in action
01:35:57.440 glenn beck mercury
01:36:05.020 you're listening to the glenn beck program
01:36:18.740 so a couple of weeks ago we did something called make america dinner again and uh we were just going
01:36:27.500 to uh you know play highlights of it and we've decided this is this is this all needs to be seen
01:36:34.960 so we begin uh with the first episode uh tonight uh of this fascinating meal and and what we did was
01:36:44.180 we we had our researchers go out and find the people who would never sit together if it was a regular media
01:36:54.020 thing and if it was a regular media thing we wanted to find the people who wouldn't perform
01:37:02.180 but actually just have a conversation because what happens is you get diverse people and they're on cnn
01:37:08.740 we've got a panel of experts and they're all trying to make a point we said no team jerseys
01:37:15.240 we're not going to argue nobody is there to convince someone of the truth we just want to
01:37:22.900 listen to each other we want to understand each other and we do want to talk about the issues
01:37:28.300 but not in a i win sort of way everybody came into this skeptical um because this is the team we
01:37:39.280 assembled around this this dinner table these are the people i invited so i was there riaz patal was
01:37:45.500 there riaz is a gay married with two adopted children pakistani muslim immigrant i mean so he was
01:37:55.680 he was you know he has no tribe uh then we also invited uh a a christian conservative to sit next to him
01:38:06.880 a really smart christian conservative also on the other side was a venezuelan uh immigrant somebody who
01:38:16.580 escaped venezuela whole family is in venezuela sees socialism for what it is and was the strongest
01:38:24.440 advocate for the free market system also at the table a progressive socialist professor college
01:38:33.140 professor uh we had a libertarian bass player who was amazing he said i didn't realize you were going
01:38:42.140 to have all these smart people now that i've talked to everybody this is before the dinner started i'm a
01:38:47.920 little intimidated that guy was off the charts smart he's just a well-read individual that believes in
01:38:55.800 libertarian principles uh we had a black media advocate uh anybody else that i missed i mean it was the
01:39:03.380 island of misfit toys and we talked about we talked about everything um uh we talked about gun control
01:39:12.520 but we we we started really with um with censorship and free speech listen we're living in a social media
01:39:21.080 world where everyone just expects you to say something and to a certain extent you do want to
01:39:25.240 say something right because it goes back to the old edmund burke quote the only thing necessary for evil to
01:39:30.000 triumph over good is for good men to stay silent but then also understanding that not every issue or not
01:39:35.780 every hill is worth dying on and and not everything is good versus evil and i think i think that's but
01:39:40.940 everything is feeling like it's good versus evil that if i vote for someone if i believe in something
01:39:44.660 then evil will win the nazis will win i'm you're at this table because i don't know how you're
01:39:51.660 functioning in the world that you live in you're trans and deeply religious and christian
01:39:58.840 who's your tribe i am my tribe amen that's that's good for you i mean god to be hard the reality is i
01:40:09.460 mean i do i do have a tribe right but i am my tribe and if i if i hold true to leaning on myself
01:40:16.520 then i'm able to have strength when i'm in uncomfortable situations and that's why i say i'm my tribe but
01:40:23.380 back to the the social media piece i think what happens with social media is that people have
01:40:28.880 gotten so comfortable with not speaking verbally to one another that we get more comfortable
01:40:34.380 going off on social media about things we're not comfortable talking about face to face and so when
01:40:41.100 we don't want to talk about these places because we don't want to lose our jobs or we don't want to
01:40:45.480 be at a dinner table and have an uncomfortable conversation we lash out on social media it is it's a
01:40:52.400 fascinating conversation and it gets a little a little heated not too much but a little heated
01:40:59.120 when we start talking about gun control um because uh the college professor says look it's an unmitigated
01:41:06.760 fact that xyz and it wasn't a fact he was actually wrong on that and uh we corrected him and uh he said
01:41:17.240 well i want to see the evidence of that and uh we had a we had a great conversation uh and it shows
01:41:25.240 that we're not all that different even though we have wildly different points of view on policies
01:41:32.180 the things we were concerned about were pretty much the same things wouldn't you agree stew
01:41:38.000 i think so yeah and that's i guess what uh what brings you to these moments of realization of
01:41:45.620 understanding that you know everybody has kind of the same concerns right i mean we talk we get so
01:41:51.240 bogged down in that battle of that cnn panel battle right like that distracts us from actual
01:41:58.820 people who say actual things um and that's kind of i think that's the i think that's the secret of
01:42:04.740 this you know i don't know how many times you could do it after people have seen it on tv or they've
01:42:10.740 witnessed it um because people would change they would watch it and they would be like oh i would have
01:42:17.240 said this and they're they'd be trying to win no one at the table was trying to win and that's where
01:42:23.840 we need to get with our families and everything else that's what will bring us back together
01:42:27.580 is learning how to listen to each other learning how to talk to each other learning to how to have
01:42:34.240 your own opinion uh without forcing everybody else to that opinion and the genesis of it is is pretty
01:42:42.280 cool too and that is came from two liberals the idea for this two liberals in california who
01:42:48.460 went through the election saw trump got elected and thought to themselves you know they were surrounded
01:42:53.480 by people who are you know it's california they're liberals everyone couldn't stand trump
01:42:57.440 and they couldn't understand like what they they realized they had no connection uh to a good chunk
01:43:03.440 of of america and that was their bad they needed to to to step out of their little box and so they
01:43:09.520 decided to do this and kind of have a dinner with you know all different people from all different
01:43:13.600 um viewpoints and just kind of just talk about stuff so you can understand it you know we've seen
01:43:18.100 some of this that has been uh interesting lately on uh the right we have people who you know uh write
01:43:24.580 stories about hey i know you people on the left think like gun owners are really terrible people
01:43:30.480 who are crazy and and you know are doing all these wild things and like let me tell you a little bit
01:43:36.380 about the gun culture because it's something you're going to really relate to it's about people
01:43:39.960 defending themselves and defending their families and caring about their families it's you know and
01:43:44.840 a lot of the country sees for example gun owners the way of well the only reason you'd want a gun is
01:43:51.600 because you're out of control and you want to kill people and it's like we are a rational person who
01:43:57.560 sits down and thinks about it for five seconds is going to realize well it's 350 million guns we'd be
01:44:02.560 hearing about not one school shooting every two months but you know a thousand a day or ten thousand
01:44:09.400 a day if if the what they believed about guns was true um and i think when you get down there and
01:44:14.440 you start talking to people they actually know that i think a lot of times you know in social media
01:44:19.600 i'm glad you led with that clip because social media just makes this so much worse is that you
01:44:24.820 get to that point where all you're doing is looking for that cool social media win that people will
01:44:30.220 retweet instead of actually listening to someone and it's not the way we live our actual lives i mean
01:44:35.500 everyone in your family you have diverse opinions and people you got nut jobs every family has them
01:44:42.600 you know a lot of i would describe them as nut jobs where they believe completely crazy liberal
01:44:47.120 things however when i talk to them you don't talk to them like they're nut jobs you don't yell at
01:44:51.320 them you don't scream at them you talk to them like they're real people and you actually care about
01:44:56.160 convincing them about one little piece of it or at least understanding where they're coming from
01:45:00.900 on that piece yeah and and that's my family just my my family because everybody every family has
01:45:06.200 nut job and in my family um we just all refer to them as uncle glenn which is all wait a minute hold
01:45:13.480 it just a second i just figured that out um so anyway watch it tonight at five o'clock it's the first
01:45:20.760 episode of make america dinner again i will tell you that i was i sat right next to you know how i feel
01:45:29.100 about woodrow wilson and professors uh and uh progressives uh i sat next to a very big uh liberal
01:45:36.100 progressive uh uh scholar and uh i thought oh my gosh like how am i gonna sit they put him next to
01:45:45.400 me for a reason and i'm like okay all right breathe deeply and i know he was doing the same thing because
01:45:50.740 he knows who i was at the end even though we strongly disagreed with each other and we called each
01:45:57.540 other on the carpet a couple of times uh he left the table saying that's the best intellectual
01:46:03.940 discussion i have had and i don't know how long yeah and it's the way we should be there's a little
01:46:10.300 bit of it that's like a triathlon and which is just a a feat of your endurance and and your mental
01:46:17.220 strength to not jump into attack mode because you know when someone says something that's really
01:46:23.460 offensive or something you really don't believe you know you your instinct is to be like what the
01:46:29.000 hell are you talking about and you just want to kind of scream at them but isn't it interesting it's
01:46:33.180 not that's not the way to go if you have if you have that moment where you can kind of sit back and
01:46:36.980 you can find the other nine things that you're kind of in agreement on you know it's makes for a
01:46:42.700 heck of a better life i'll tell you that isn't it isn't it interesting the trans man um who i really
01:46:48.840 liked really just a sweet guy um and isn't it interesting how when you say well there's a
01:46:58.000 transsexual it's different when you're sitting at the table and it's a normal person it's a normal guy
01:47:06.840 it's the way i think people uh feel about um uh caitlin jenner you know i i i don't know what i would do
01:47:15.620 in his situation or her situation when he was him and he lived his whole life like that i have so
01:47:24.080 much empathy for him what am i going to throw a rock at him no no probably he lived his life this
01:47:30.980 whole way just just being tortured now science will show i i dare bring up scientific fact here
01:47:40.460 but studies have shown it doesn't necessarily help in fact suicide is even greater among those who
01:47:48.800 have a sex change but i don't know what i would do why am i going to throw a rock at him 0.61
01:47:54.360 and you you listen to him he's not talking about transgenderism at all he's not talking about any of
01:48:01.800 it yes he just wants to be treated like a human being that's what i thought was interesting about
01:48:05.800 the conversation and that it wasn't identity politics i did like we kind of in a way like
01:48:11.700 picked people from all these different backgrounds and obviously that is somewhat of based on your
01:48:16.960 identity right like you know yeah someone who you know there's a reason why there's a black trans 0.63
01:48:21.160 christian there because it was an interesting person and wanted to hear the perspective but you
01:48:24.600 notice that like that they didn't talk about those things it wasn't it wasn't just about hey i'm a
01:48:31.200 person who's lived this life and here's how it's affected me it was also just opinions about other
01:48:35.300 things and opinions about all the other things there was a lot of agreement on um and yeah you
01:48:40.800 wind up seeing people as actual individuals rather than hey you're in this group and i think that's
01:48:46.980 really productive i know as conservatives that's that's we're not collectivists right we don't put
01:48:51.380 people in groups and identify them by groups we identify people by their individual characteristics
01:48:55.820 and you know i don't know the content of their character i can't believe you just said that
01:49:01.180 that's such a racist that was racist yeah no i know premieres tonight 5 p.m on the blaze
