The Glenn Beck Program - We Are PARENTS, NOT Babysitters! ｜ Guest： Colin Wright ｜ 10⧸14⧸19

00:00:00.000 It is Monday. We have a lot to discuss today and a few things that I think might be controversial.

00:00:12.440 I hope not. They wouldn't have been at the beginning of my career, but towards the end of my career could be the end of my career.

00:00:18.420 Yes. Patriot Mobile, despite another fake accusation with no cooperation against Brett Kavanaugh, the left still wants him impeached.

00:00:27.860 Beto flat out said he would confiscate your guns and it's even worse this weekend.

00:00:34.540 Democrats want to push new red flag laws, an exempt known to, you know, known for known gang members and and finally continue to investigate the attempted obstruction into the president.

00:00:47.500 Do you realize that every time you make a phone call, you're probably helping those causes out?

00:00:52.800 The phone companies are donating to these far left wing organizations.

00:00:58.700 Take your money back. Take your control back. Switch right now to Patriot Mobile.

00:01:04.080 It plans as low as 25 bucks. You'll get nationwide service. That's great. Great customer service.

00:01:08.860 Go to PatriotMobile.com slash blaze. Now PatriotMobile.com slash blaze.

00:01:14.280 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:31.560 Hello, America. Are you a babysitter now? Are you a parent? Parental rights. Do you have any?

00:01:44.040 Beto said, no.

00:01:45.820 When Ben Shapiro did a monologue on Friday, the left went out of their mind and I tweeted support for Ben.

00:01:59.880 Oh my. Oh, that didn't work out well.

00:02:04.220 They have taken the masks fully off.

00:02:07.300 I told you that they would do this probably eight years ago.

00:02:11.320 I said, there's going to come a time where they'll take the mask off and say, yeah, yeah, we do want your guns.

00:02:16.800 Yeah, you're not really the parent of that child.

00:02:20.480 Yeah, we do want to soak the rich.

00:02:24.100 We don't believe in capitalism. We're all socialists now.

00:02:28.460 I told you that would happen and we are here.

00:02:31.620 We begin with what they want to do with your guns now.

00:02:34.880 And this, according to the New York Times, the masks are fully off and we go there in one minute.

00:02:42.940 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:02:48.180 If you've been dreaming about your own home, but you're not really sure even where to begin with the process of buying one, you're not alone.

00:02:55.760 It's important to understand that there is no one path to home ownership and not all options work for everybody.

00:03:01.000 So why not choose a lender that is working for you?

00:03:05.820 American Financing.

00:03:07.560 They have salary-based mortgage consultants that create solutions.

00:03:11.000 They don't count commissions.

00:03:12.860 They never charge upfront fees.

00:03:14.540 Instead, they do what it takes to get you into home for the least amount down, but they do it responsibly.

00:03:20.940 This is a loan company that actually, I think, cares about you.

00:03:27.880 They don't make irresponsible loans and they're not getting kickbacks from the banks.

00:03:32.520 They truly care about helping people becoming homeowners and then keeping their home.

00:03:38.360 I want you to call American Financing now.

00:03:40.580 It's a quick 10-minute phone call.

00:03:42.300 It could save you thousands of dollars right now.

00:03:44.920 They have you covered coast-to-coast at AmericanFinancing.net.

00:03:48.160 That's AmericanFinancing.net.

00:03:50.060 Or you can call them at 800-906-2440.

00:03:53.360 It's AmericanFinancing.net.

00:03:56.160 American Financing Corporation, NMLS 182334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

00:04:03.180 So, the New York Times surveyed the 2020 Democrats on gun control and they found that there are some dividing lines here.

00:04:27.120 Not a lot of dividing lines, I think, between the Democrats.

00:04:33.480 I mean, there are a few, but between anyone who believes in gun rights and the Democratic field, there's some really, really bright lines being drawn.

00:04:44.440 It seems remarkable.

00:04:48.800 I'm going to quote the New York Times.

00:04:51.760 If it seems unremarkable that every Democratic presidential candidate wants to ban assault weapons, it's worth looking back just a few years.

00:05:00.860 In 2013, the last time a ban received a floor vote in the Senate, nearly 30% of the Democratic caucus voted against it.

00:05:08.680 The Times survey adds to a pile of evidence that a segment of the Democratic Party is headed towards extinction.

00:05:18.740 And that extinction, that part of the party, is the one that believes in the Second Amendment.

00:05:25.100 It is no longer politically tenable to be a Democratic presidential candidate and support the sale of an AR, which has become the weapon of choice for mass shooters.

00:05:34.100 No, no, no, it hasn't.

00:05:37.720 Handguns also are used.

00:05:40.180 Several other policies had unanimous support among the candidates who completed the survey.

00:05:45.780 So-called red flag laws, which allow confiscation of guns from people judged to pose an imminent risk to themselves or others.

00:05:53.320 This is one of the more dangerous ones, in my opinion.

00:05:57.940 The so-called red flag laws.

00:05:59.660 We already have those.

00:06:00.760 If you think someone is a danger to themselves or to others, you already can call police.

00:06:08.360 And they will already take the gun away from them.

00:06:11.920 They'll have to go to a mental hospital and be checked out.

00:06:15.680 But that's the system we have.

00:06:18.740 There has to be due process involved.

00:06:20.780 And what they want to do is get rid of that due process.

00:06:22.400 Yeah, it's too slow.

00:06:23.940 And the Democrats-

00:06:24.540 Oh, too slow for due process.

00:06:26.400 Yeah, and the left continually gives commercials to the warning signs of what's going on.

00:06:32.180 You mentioned the Ben Shapiro thing earlier today, where he talked about defending the lives of his children against someone coming and trying to take them from the government.

00:06:42.400 And it was a big, big issue over the weekend.

00:06:45.040 Well, what was the response from Eric Swalwell, the former presidential candidate, congressman?

00:06:51.340 He said, perfect use of red flag laws. 1.00

00:06:54.820 The second someone disagrees with their opinion, well, all of a sudden, they're too crazy to have their guns.

00:07:01.460 If you're wondering how these things will be utilized, Eric Swalwell just gave you a commercial for it.

00:07:06.440 He didn't like Ben Shapiro's rant on the internet.

00:07:08.920 Now, take his guns.

00:07:11.700 And this is the demonstration of why I believe in the Second Amendment.

00:07:17.180 It's not because I like to shoot.

00:07:19.520 It's not because my family and I, we do it all the time and we enjoy it.

00:07:25.180 It's not that I'm going out and hunting for my food.

00:07:28.420 I have my guns for one specific reason.

00:07:31.900 And that is a check on the balance of power.

00:07:35.880 However, if you think the United States government is not afraid of people with guns, why did Swalwell say that?

00:07:45.220 Why would Swalwell say, well, if you disagree with us, we have to come take your guns?

00:07:50.560 And he didn't say that, but he said what Ben Shapiro said was a good reason for the red flag laws.

00:07:58.940 Well, what Ben said was, my children belong to me.

00:08:04.300 And if you want to come and take my children away because I won't teach them that there are no genders, 0.87

00:08:12.460 I'm sorry, you meet me at the front door with a gun.

00:08:17.660 Because I will defend my right to teach that to my children and to keep my children.

00:08:22.920 That, to me, is perfectly reasonable.

00:08:27.400 Perfectly reasonable.

00:08:29.200 I would never think of the state going in and taking somebody away, their children away,

00:08:35.020 because they believe that there are 97 genders.

00:08:42.620 I would say, well, you know what?

00:08:44.200 Let the free market work that out.

00:08:46.240 Let the public work that out.

00:08:48.700 You know, that kid is going to grow up and he's going to believe all kinds of crazy things.

00:08:52.380 Well, that's okay.

00:08:54.640 He'll believe lots of crazy things, but it's mom and dad's right to teach it to him.

00:08:59.900 And we know over 80% of people who question their gender early in life and don't have the surgery

00:09:06.680 wind up coming out on the other side and saying they are pleased that they didn't have the surgery.

00:09:11.860 You know, that's just, eventually people kind of figure that stuff out.

00:09:14.940 Now, if you want to change the sex of your four-year-old, six-year-old, even ten-year-old, 0.88

00:09:20.060 well, then maybe we should talk about that as a society, because that's a new idea.

00:09:26.840 I think that is abusive, because you're making a change they cannot change back.

00:09:33.660 And they might like princess dresses today, but as Stu said, studies show later they don't.

00:09:40.200 So if you are fundamentally altering their body and their chemistry, well, that's something we should all discuss.

00:09:53.500 But right now, it's totally fine.

00:09:55.700 You can do that.

00:09:56.500 That's totally fine.

00:09:58.180 When did we decide that?

00:09:59.580 When did we ever, when did we ever voice that?

00:10:03.720 The elites are voicing that.

00:10:06.100 And they want to jam that down my throat?

00:10:08.340 No.

00:10:09.300 Well, that's funny, too, because it's really the reason why we didn't all decide that is because a lot of times it's kind of none of our business.

00:10:16.860 Yeah.

00:10:17.260 Right?

00:10:17.420 They are taking advantage of the thing that they want to end, the advantage of parental choice, and you can raise your parents however you want.

00:10:25.040 Now, you're talking about physical changes and, you know, cutting somebody open for a surgery they don't need.

00:10:31.060 That's covered under other laws.

00:10:32.600 But as far as arguing for those things, teaching your kids that there's 97 genders, that is completely your right as a parent.

00:10:39.780 It might be something that you think is nuts.

00:10:41.600 Yep.

00:10:41.940 You're right.

00:10:42.400 I don't like it, but that's your right.

00:10:44.060 Right now, I teach, my faith, this, you know what's so crazy, is my faith came out with a proclamation of a family in the 90s.

00:10:54.220 And I remember everybody going, what, why would they issue this?

00:10:59.620 And it was a very big deal.

00:11:01.120 It's a cornerstone of our church.

00:11:02.620 And it talks about how sacred the family is, and that gender is something that is assigned eternally in heaven.

00:11:16.420 That you are born male and female, and they are not to be changed or trifled with.

00:11:23.860 This is in the 90s.

00:11:25.980 It's specific about that.

00:11:28.180 So, now you're going to come and tell me that I have to teach my children something that my faith says, absolutely not.

00:11:36.700 Absolutely not.

00:11:39.420 No, you know what?

00:11:40.660 I have a right to my faith, to my practice of religion, of raising my children.

00:11:47.060 And if that means I meet you at the front door with a gun, damn right, I'll meet you at the front door with a gun.

00:11:52.220 Now, I don't believe my faith will say that.

00:11:58.800 But that's the way I feel.

00:12:02.780 So, okay, so red flag laws.

00:12:05.200 There's the first one.

00:12:06.000 Come on, that's the only one.

00:12:06.520 We just got through one.

00:12:07.560 One of the policies proposed.

00:12:09.460 A ban on high-capacity magazines.

00:12:12.000 That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

00:12:14.440 Do you know that you have something called a 3D printer, and you can print magazines?

00:12:19.980 The bad guys will just print them?

00:12:23.180 I mean, people who have a 3D printer who obey the law, they're not going to print them.

00:12:28.260 But you could print those at your house.

00:12:32.780 It's so ridiculous.

00:12:33.800 So stupid.

00:12:34.320 I mean, and to think that you could stop them from being mailed around, ordered on the internet is insane.

00:12:38.600 An unnamed relative of mine recently told me that they got in the mail a gift from a friend of theirs, which happened to be edibles, right?

00:12:51.260 You know, marijuana-laced food.

00:12:54.760 How are you stopping that?

00:12:56.420 I'd like to know, like, right?

00:12:58.420 Texas doesn't have it legal.

00:13:00.460 Utah doesn't have it legal.

00:13:02.040 But you're telling me you're going to stop?

00:13:04.100 Are they going to individually inspect every package of gummy bears that gets mailed to see if there's marijuana in it?

00:13:10.040 It's just effectively legal in every state because of things like this.

00:13:14.900 Try to ban it.

00:13:16.160 Anyone who wants it can get it, right?

00:13:18.300 And the same thing that's happened with these tiny pieces of plastic or metal that could easily...

00:13:23.440 We're talking about a container.

00:13:26.180 It's a container and a spring, a high-capacity magazine.

00:13:29.420 That's what it is.

00:13:29.900 Anybody can get these things.

00:13:32.160 You can get the parts for them easily.

00:13:33.760 You can 3D print them.

00:13:35.140 You can get them mailed, you know, from the internet.

00:13:37.940 You could make them.

00:13:39.280 You could make them.

00:13:39.960 You could make them.

00:13:41.100 It's ridiculous to think that banning them would do anything.

00:13:44.000 No, it will keep them out of the hands of people who want to respect the law.

00:13:48.900 Yeah.

00:13:49.480 It will not do it for anyone who doesn't give a flying crap.

00:13:55.640 I mean, this isn't I'm making a gun.

00:13:58.300 This is I'm making a magazine.

00:14:00.980 It's and you can't have this conversation with people who have never held a gun because they have no idea what a magazine is.

00:14:07.060 They've absolutely no idea what a magazine is.

00:14:10.960 And it takes you a while to really understand magazine and clip.

00:14:15.340 It's different.

00:14:15.940 And you know what?

00:14:17.220 Once you learn that, you're like, yeah, I understand.

00:14:21.480 It's like we're not a republic.

00:14:23.300 We're not a democracy.

00:14:24.780 We're a republic.

00:14:25.940 It's one of those things that people don't get.

00:14:30.100 And it drives people nuts because you cannot have an argument with somebody who doesn't even understand the difference between a clip and a magazine because it shows you haven't been around it enough to understand it.

00:14:43.980 How am I going to have a conversation with you about a gun when you can't tell me about the little plastic thing that you put bullets in that goes into the gun or a little metal thing that holds all the bullets together before you put them in a gun?

00:14:58.740 Yeah, right.

00:14:59.300 And there's no way to have that conversation because the person you're talking to has no knowledge on the topic.

00:15:03.420 No.

00:15:03.500 And this goes to also what stupid Beto's campaign said about all of this when they talked about, you know, people, when you try to ban their AR-15 or take it from them, what's to prevent them from keeping these guns?

00:15:15.920 They're just going to keep them.

00:15:17.180 And Beto's representative said, look, no, we believe the American people are law abiding.

00:15:22.020 And when it comes down, when these laws are passed, they're going to follow the law and handle them in.

00:15:25.240 Well, then why are you passing the law?

00:15:27.160 If you believe that they're following the law, why are you taking their guns?

00:15:32.000 They're going to cross the line on keeping their gun, but not this evil murder.

00:15:36.260 The people you are talking about, you're admitting that your law has no effect.

00:15:41.220 Because you're only taking them from the people who care about the law.

00:15:46.220 Care about the law to not, let's say, shoot up a movie theater.

00:15:50.060 Right?

00:15:50.540 Like, these are not the people you need to worry about killing others.

00:15:54.260 The people that are going to willingly turn in their guns, you're only taking them away from the most compliant people.

00:16:00.860 Because this, honestly, is not about guns.

00:16:05.480 As I wrote in the book called Control.

00:16:09.100 It's not about guns.

00:16:11.220 This is about control.

00:16:13.360 And our founders understood that.

00:16:15.680 They knew.

00:16:16.520 That's why you have the Second Amendment. 1.00

00:16:19.620 You know, England.

00:16:22.500 England.

00:16:23.320 Everybody had guns in England.

00:16:25.480 Everybody had guns.

00:16:27.220 Until the king decided, you know, they're getting a little unruly here.

00:16:31.400 And they don't like the things that I'm doing.

00:16:33.500 Take away all their guns.

00:16:34.540 That's what, that was the lesson our, our founders understood.

00:16:43.100 Wait a minute.

00:16:43.740 How did the king get out of control?

00:16:46.000 Oh, he got out of control when he took everybody's guns.

00:16:50.480 That's how.

00:16:51.740 You know, why do the Scottish throw, have you ever seen the Scottish when they take the poles and they throw the pole, you know, like the logs?

00:16:58.580 Yeah.

00:16:58.880 You ever seen that?

00:16:59.400 Yeah.

00:16:59.680 You know why they do that?

00:17:00.380 No.

00:17:01.140 Because they weren't allowed to have any guns or any swords or any weapons of any type.

00:17:08.000 Because they need, the king knew these guys were fighters and they were never going to give up.

00:17:14.840 So it was illegal for any of them.

00:17:17.000 So they trained by throwing big rocks.

00:17:20.620 They kept their military people strong by how far can you throw that tree?

00:17:26.200 Because you didn't have any other weapon.

00:17:28.080 So you needed to be able to kill them with rocks and with big, huge branches.

00:17:33.640 I was going to guess utter boredom.

00:17:35.980 No, no.

00:17:37.040 Surprisingly, that was, that was mine too.

00:17:39.360 It was kind of like the Canadian with the sweeping on the ice.

00:17:42.620 No, this one actually had a military purpose for it.

00:17:46.060 All right.

00:19:25.040 Closing the Charleston loophole.

00:19:27.220 Do you know what the Charleston loophole is?

00:19:29.320 Only because I've heard the term Charleston loophole before.

00:19:33.600 And, you know, the thing is about these loopholes, they're never loopholes.

00:19:36.800 No.

00:19:37.100 They're either just someone breaking the law blatantly or something completely different.

00:19:41.260 In this case, it's something completely different.

00:19:43.580 It is the government breaking the law.

00:19:46.180 Thank you, Stu.

00:19:47.120 Thank you for knowing this.

00:19:48.600 I love you.

00:19:49.400 It's amazing.

00:19:50.080 Yeah.

00:19:50.440 So the Charleston loophole is the government breaking the law.

00:19:54.420 There is a law that says you have to be able to, well, I mean, it's not technically breaking

00:19:58.480 the law, but let me explain it.

00:20:00.040 There's a law that says you have to have, there's a waiting period of, what is it, three days?

00:20:03.940 No, it's not a waiting period.

00:20:05.260 It is, you have to have a background check.

00:20:06.720 For the background check.

00:20:07.360 How long can they take to do the background check?

00:20:08.900 Only three days.

00:20:09.920 Three days.

00:20:10.280 And it's, and it's, and everyone knows it takes about 20 minutes.

00:20:13.960 You go and you buy your gun, it takes no more than 20 minutes.

00:20:17.440 If it's really crazy.

00:20:18.880 I mean, at the height of the gun sales, it could take you an hour only because of the

00:20:23.540 line in the store to get it.

00:20:25.800 And so, and so people back in the day realized that this is something when the background check

00:20:31.460 went into effect that could be exploited.

00:20:33.100 Yes.

00:20:33.400 We're having computer problems in Washington again.

00:20:36.120 No one gets any guns approved for the next six months.

00:20:38.600 Oops.

00:20:38.840 Oops.

00:20:39.320 Right.

00:20:39.500 So this is this, and I saw this happen.

00:20:42.420 I was going to buy some guns in Connecticut before Obama won.

00:20:48.900 Okay.

00:20:49.700 And they told me, you got to get, you got to get it.

00:20:52.740 You got to get it right now.

00:20:53.800 Got to get it right now.

00:20:54.780 I bought them before, before he won.

00:20:58.060 Then I bought them after he won.

00:21:01.000 Oh, darn it.

00:21:01.800 What happened?

00:21:02.380 This computer system again.

00:21:03.680 It was, there was no problem under the Bush administration.

00:21:06.700 As soon as Obama got in, all of a sudden, computers are down.

00:21:10.700 There's just that.

00:21:11.160 We just Washington is backlogged.

00:21:12.840 Computers are down.

00:21:13.780 It's going to be.

00:21:14.440 Remember the Noid? 0.97

00:21:15.460 The Noid that used to steal the Domino's pizza? 1.00

00:21:17.340 Yeah.

00:21:17.480 Now he's, he's in the, in the gun system.

00:21:19.080 He's in the gun system.

00:21:19.880 And he's screwed it up there.

00:21:20.440 Yeah.

00:21:20.740 That darn Noid. 0.97

00:21:21.860 Avoid the Noid at all costs. 1.00

00:21:23.180 So this isn't a loophole.

00:21:24.960 This is actually, this is like a do not cross.

00:21:28.540 Yeah.

00:21:28.820 This is almost like a bill of rights.

00:21:30.840 It's, you have a right to get that gun and the government cannot take more than three

00:21:36.740 days to do it.

00:21:37.840 Right.

00:21:38.060 So in Charleston, they did, they took more than three days.

00:21:40.140 So if you, if they take more than three days, they get, you have to give the person the

00:21:43.500 gun.

00:21:43.820 Well, the government screwed up.

00:21:45.400 This guy wouldn't have passed a background check, but it went longer than three days.

00:21:49.820 They had to give him the gun.

00:21:50.740 So they're calling that the Charleston loophole.

00:21:53.100 Now it's not a loophole.

00:21:54.600 It's the government can get an automated background check done in less than three days.

00:21:59.260 It's an absurd amount of time already.

00:22:00.940 And now they want to extend it in this article.

00:22:02.460 They say to potentially two weeks, if not longer.

00:22:05.860 So that is not a loophole.

00:22:07.800 It's, they call it the loophole because it makes it feel like, you know, it's the NRAs

00:22:14.160 carving out these little things for murderers.

00:22:16.180 That's not what's occurring.

00:22:17.120 How about the boyfriend loophole?

00:22:18.580 That one's interesting in that they have domestic violence convictions that can get you

00:22:23.960 so you can't have a gun.

00:22:25.620 And, but they cover mainly people like your husband, your spouse, but they might not cover

00:22:32.200 your boyfriend.

00:22:32.780 They should cover a boyfriend.

00:22:34.420 I don't have a problem with that in theory.

00:22:37.140 Yeah, assault is assault, right?

00:22:38.720 Domestic violence is just another version of that.

00:22:41.420 Assault is assault.

00:22:42.220 If you committed domestic violence, no, no gun for you.

00:22:47.540 As long as there's process.

00:22:52.180 Winter is coming.

00:22:53.960 I love that from the Game of Thrones, except it took five years for winter to come.

00:22:58.180 And it didn't really come.

00:22:58.940 Yeah, winter is coming and it's not going to take five years.

00:23:02.860 You got to be prepared for it with your car.

00:23:04.340 Most of the breakdowns that occur in a car occur during the colder months.

00:23:08.480 Things just don't work as well in cold weather.

00:23:10.820 I know I don't work as well in cold weather.

00:23:13.440 Huge headache having to always be worried about what you'll do if something happens to your car.

00:24:39.020 Pat Gray joins us.

00:24:39.860 Let me just say this quickly about Syria.

00:24:42.940 Late yesterday afternoon, I got video out.

00:24:47.320 I just tweeted it earlier this morning.

00:24:49.600 Video out from the Syrian border of the Nazarene Fund.

00:24:55.100 Our operatives there all waiting in jeeps right at the border as our other operatives went in under cover of night and grabbed as many Christians as possible.

00:25:06.860 And we are starting to get them out of Syria. 1.00

00:25:10.780 The first person killed, I have the name, I'm not allowed to share it, but I have the first person's name that was killed by Turkey and it was a Christian.

00:25:19.300 We really desperately need your help.

00:25:24.200 I'm going to let politics rule the day elsewhere, not here on this.

00:25:31.120 We really need your help.

00:25:32.620 If you would like to save these Christians, they are going to be—the Christians, the Yazidis, and the northern Iraqi Kurds are all going to be annihilated. 0.99

00:25:41.600 They're just going to be annihilated and we need to get them out. 0.94

00:25:46.980 So please, if you can, even $5, just $5.

00:25:52.060 If you could do $5 a month, there is a monthly plan to where you can put $5 down.

00:25:58.820 And $5 a month, I think it's—I think we're down to, what is it, $60 a person to be able to get them out.

00:26:09.180 It was $20,000 when we first started.

00:26:12.480 Wow.

00:26:12.880 Yeah, we have really—we have some amazing people.

00:26:16.400 Way more efficient.

00:26:16.880 Way more efficient.

00:26:17.760 We know what we're doing and we are doing things kind of in bulk.

00:26:23.500 You can get more people out in bulk, apparently.

00:26:27.440 Nazarenefund.org.

00:26:28.660 Please donate now and help those Christians in Syria.

00:26:32.320 Did you also see that Turkey's been bracketing our troops with artillery fire?

00:26:37.480 I mean, they're just—they're so hell-bent on wiping out these people that they're trying to force us to withdraw even further.

00:26:49.620 They're pissed off about the fact that we still are where we are with operational troops.

00:26:54.100 And so they're firing artillery shells on each side of them, and they know full well the exact coordinates of where our troops are.

00:27:00.060 And they fired at them within a couple hundred yards.

00:27:03.400 It's not good.

00:27:04.220 It's not good.

00:27:04.880 This is not good.

00:27:05.480 It's really bad.

00:27:06.180 It's a really bad time of year to sanction Turkey as well, right around Thanksgiving.

00:27:11.140 Yeah.

00:27:11.760 Are we going to be able to have any Turkey? 1.00

00:27:13.860 I don't know.

00:27:14.560 It doesn't look like it right now.

00:27:15.960 It doesn't look like it.

00:27:16.880 If Beto takes our guns, I know I won't be able to get any Turkey. 1.00

00:27:20.660 And I think all the—I mean—

00:27:21.900 Beto and Kamala, they both want to—

00:27:24.820 We've got to—yes, we have to take the guns, but we need to—we need to set fire to the Constitution the right way.

00:27:34.280 You know what I mean?

00:27:35.560 Right, right.

00:27:35.880 It's got to be done right.

00:27:37.080 Of course.

00:27:38.060 Yeah, of course.

00:27:38.760 Kamala's really conscious about that.

00:27:40.540 The only way, the right way to do this is to repeal the Second Amendment. 0.89

00:27:45.360 And the reason why—

00:27:46.240 That is the right way to do it.

00:27:47.020 It is.

00:27:47.360 And the Constitution allows that.

00:27:49.580 If you want to say, I want to repeal the Second Amendment—

00:27:53.540 There's a process.

00:27:54.220 There's a process.

00:27:55.100 Do it.

00:27:55.980 Do it.

00:27:56.380 You just know you can't.

00:27:58.820 And that's why.

00:27:58.920 What are the odds that anybody will ask her about that tomorrow night?

00:28:01.900 Oh, zero.

00:28:02.640 You mean the Constitution?

00:28:03.980 The fact that—how do you—I'm sorry.

00:28:05.960 You said you wanted to take 10 million guns from Americans.

00:28:09.700 But you want to do it the right way.

00:28:11.880 Explain to me what is the right way.

00:28:14.140 No, they—no.

00:28:15.120 Well, they might ask that question, but it will—

00:28:16.800 I don't think they will.

00:28:17.640 They won't hold her to it.

00:28:18.960 No, that's true.

00:28:19.320 She'll just say, we just have to pass laws. 0.98

00:28:21.780 Yeah.

00:28:22.660 No!

00:28:23.060 Which you can't do.

00:28:23.540 You can't do that.

00:28:25.460 Okay, so we've been going over this thing from the New York Times on all of the things

00:28:30.460 that they all agree on.

00:28:32.340 Red flag laws, ban on high-capacity magazines, closing the boyfriend loophole, closing the—

00:28:39.080 I hate this—Charleston loophole, enacting federal anti-gun trafficking law.

00:28:44.760 We don't have that already.

00:28:45.800 Um, most of the candidates also say, you have to be 21.

00:28:50.640 Well, then, you cannot send anybody to war at 18.

00:28:54.500 Don't you dare.

00:28:56.120 Don't you dare come for anybody at 18 to send them to war.

00:29:00.980 Don't do it.

00:29:02.480 Um, the biggest sticking point, according to the New York Times on Democrats, now is what

00:29:06.240 to do with the million of assault rifles that are already in Americans' hands.

00:29:10.400 Candidates are united for calling for a buyback program through which owners would be

00:29:14.940 able to sell those weapons to the government.

00:29:17.700 But state the obvious, many people don't want to give up their AR-15s.

00:29:21.140 Should the government make them?

00:29:22.800 If so, how?

00:29:24.580 The outlier is Joe Biden, whose gun plan would incentivize states to enact licensing programs

00:29:30.340 that would not—but would not require them to do so.

00:29:33.920 You need a federal license to drive a car, he said during a recent gun forum.

00:29:38.580 Uh, Mr. Booker said to the forum, to the forum that licensing was not a radical concept,

00:29:44.440 uh, that anyone who did not support the federal program should not be a nominee from our party.

00:29:50.780 And, you know, and Biden's point on you don't need a federal license to drive a car is that

00:29:55.500 obviously the states are doing it. 0.81

00:29:57.060 So that's kind of—there's not a huge divide there.

00:29:59.100 He's just saying, I want the states to do it.

00:30:00.580 He's going to incentivize states to come up with the licenses.

00:30:03.500 Well, there's also not a constitutional right to drive a car.

00:30:06.440 So there's a little bit of a difference there as well.

00:30:08.560 Is there?

00:30:08.740 Yeah.

00:30:09.140 Just a teeny bit.

00:30:10.240 A teeny, teeny difference.

00:30:11.020 Well, what about the car clause?

00:30:12.900 Yeah, there isn't one.

00:30:14.120 The car amendment?

00:30:16.100 No, no, no.

00:30:17.200 The right to drive?

00:30:18.040 Nope.

00:30:18.460 None of that?

00:30:18.980 Okay.

00:30:19.620 I love this, though.

00:30:20.520 This is fascinating to me.

00:30:22.040 The political terrain on guns has been shifting for several years in response to mass shootings,

00:30:26.520 et cetera, which, by the way, we should point out that the crime report just came out.

00:30:31.040 Another 9% less homicides than the year before.

00:30:34.640 Less.

00:30:35.300 Wow.

00:30:35.320 Think of that.

00:30:35.900 Wow.

00:30:36.100 Think of that.

00:30:36.900 Think of that.

00:30:37.440 We're saying that guns are such a problem.

00:30:40.520 Homicides were down.

00:30:42.000 Again.

00:30:42.760 9% again this last year.

00:30:46.660 And we should point out again that once more, less than 300 murders in the entire country

00:30:53.460 were committed with any type of rifle.

00:30:55.440 Not just AR-15s.

00:30:57.220 Not just AK-47s.

00:30:58.240 And that includes mass shootings.

00:30:59.580 All rifles combined, including mass shootings.

00:31:01.760 Wow.

00:31:02.120 Less than 300 people in a country of 330 million.

00:31:05.920 You should ban pools.

00:31:07.340 Pools kill more than any rifle.

00:31:10.900 Yeah.

00:31:11.400 And not to mention just pools.

00:31:13.180 Personal weapons.

00:31:14.180 What are personal weapons?

00:31:15.420 Hands.

00:31:16.220 Fists and feet.

00:31:17.100 We're talking about 672 murders.

00:31:20.720 Well, that's because I can't control my fist of fury.

00:31:24.440 I can't.

00:31:25.340 No.

00:31:25.860 I have a problem with it.

00:31:27.360 You're so aggressive.

00:31:27.980 I have a problem with it.

00:31:28.900 1,500 with knives, but less than 300 with rifles.

00:31:32.860 And those are the things they're trying to ban, which makes tons of sense.

00:31:35.140 Yeah, it does.

00:31:35.780 Policies that were dividing lines among Democrats have become baselines.

00:31:39.480 Again, this is...

00:31:40.660 Glenn, how many times have you said it?

00:31:41.620 They're going to start admitting what they're doing?

00:31:43.300 They're going to take the masks off and just admit that they're going for these things?

00:31:46.940 Proposals that were politically untouchable are now firmly on the table.

00:31:50.500 All 19 candidates supported an assault weapons ban, which I believe would now be ruled unconstitutional

00:31:56.060 post-Heller.

00:31:56.920 It's a whole other situation.

00:31:58.380 The biggest disagreement, whether they should already own guns.

00:32:01.000 There is some support for a federal gun registry.

00:32:05.840 Oh, we're not trying to register people's guns.

00:32:09.080 Don't be ridiculous.

00:32:10.160 That is the NRA talking points.

00:32:12.320 Yes.

00:32:12.860 Even the times.

00:32:13.680 We don't want to take them.

00:32:14.400 We don't want to confiscate.

00:32:15.680 We don't want to license anybody, register anybody.

00:32:18.820 Yeah, and they're doing all that now.

00:32:19.740 We're strong believers in the Second Amendment.

00:32:21.940 We just want common sense restrictions.

00:32:24.020 And I don't want the scaremongering, right?

00:32:26.100 How many times have we heard that?

00:32:27.140 A million.

00:32:27.660 Even the Times admits it.

00:32:28.880 There's some support for a federal gun registry, an idea that many Democrats used to dismiss

00:32:33.540 exasperatedly as gun lobby scaremongering.

00:32:37.580 Wow.

00:32:37.740 And now there's, I think it's, at least it's over a third of the field is supporting that.

00:32:41.780 Well, yes, because things have changed.

00:32:44.120 Right.

00:32:44.280 Because streets are so dangerous that they are now 9% less likely of being murdered by

00:32:51.520 a gun or fists of fury than they were last year.

00:32:54.980 Things have changed.

00:32:56.260 And this shows what we always say and are criticized for.

00:33:00.660 As people on the right, as conservatives, as talk show hosts, they want all of this crap.

00:33:07.540 They're just waiting for the moment it becomes politically feasible to do it.

00:33:11.080 That is progressivism, as we've learned over these many years, listening to Glenn blab on

00:33:17.120 about it every freaking day.

00:33:19.320 It is not an idea of a difference of where they want to end up.

00:33:23.780 It's progressives saying the alternative to revolution.

00:33:27.580 They're not saying, like, storm the government buildings and overthrow it today.

00:33:30.320 They're saying every second they have the political feasibility to get one more step down this

00:33:35.560 road, they will take it.

00:33:36.520 Because the end of the day, if you listen to their, even the people who are objecting,

00:33:41.240 the quote unquote moderates like Joe Biden are either saying, well, we can't get it done

00:33:45.380 right now.

00:33:45.800 It's not, it's not feasible.

00:33:47.580 Or, well, we should do it in another way.

00:33:49.820 So it is feasible.

00:33:50.560 Notice they say that it's not feasible.

00:33:52.760 They don't say it's not constitutional.

00:33:54.700 Or not right.

00:33:55.460 Yeah.

00:33:56.120 Yeah.

00:33:56.380 It's not right.

00:33:57.280 It's not constitutional.

00:33:58.640 What they say is it's not feasible.

00:34:01.960 Well, when it becomes feasible, then you do it.

00:34:05.660 Try this one on for side.

00:34:08.380 Governor Gavin Newsom has signed now more than a dozen firearm related bills on Friday.

00:34:14.980 They're now law, including one that expands the state's existing red flag law.

00:34:20.560 It expands the red flag law.

00:34:25.480 One law allows Californians to purchase just one long gun per month starting July 2021.

00:34:32.120 Another mandates that ammunition dealers at firearms show and follow the same regulations

00:34:37.440 as licensed firearm dealers.

00:34:39.300 But one law in particular is being hailed as one of the most strict gun seizure laws in

00:34:45.860 the nation.

00:34:47.080 The law will allow coworkers, employees, and teachers.

00:34:54.420 Listen to next hour.

00:34:56.800 The law will allow coworkers, employers, and teachers to seek a red flag firearm restraining

00:35:03.880 order against anyone they believe is a threat to themselves or others that ask a judge to

00:35:11.220 temporarily take away someone's firearms.

00:35:14.580 Previously, only law enforcement or immediate family members could seek such an order.

00:35:20.060 Newsom also signed a companion bill that allows the restraining orders to remain in place

00:35:24.960 up to five years.

00:35:28.240 The same bill allows the judge also to issue a search warrant at the same time the restraining

00:35:33.340 order is issued.

00:35:34.140 So in other words, if your teacher, your child's teacher, hears your child doing something

00:35:42.000 or using a finger gun and they say, do mom and dad have guns in the house?

00:35:47.980 They can deem that as a danger to the child and you could lose your guns.

00:35:54.680 There's a story we were talking about on Pat Gray Unleashed, heard immediately before this

00:35:59.080 program.

00:35:59.500 And if you've missed it, you can download it on a podcast wherever you get yours for free.

00:36:03.340 I was selling something.

00:36:04.640 I was, yeah, jumping right in on the opportunity.

00:36:08.540 Right, my gosh.

00:36:09.720 There was a story today about a 12-year-old girl charged with a felony because she pointed

00:36:13.760 her finger.

00:36:14.320 Yeah.

00:36:14.600 At four classmates.

00:36:15.560 Yeah.

00:36:16.480 And herself.

00:36:17.500 Yeah.

00:36:17.920 And so fortunately, her finger didn't go off because that could have been horrible.

00:36:21.140 That could have been so tragic.

00:36:22.700 A double Doppler, super Doppler, mega Doppler felony in that case?

00:36:27.280 Yes.

00:36:27.480 Is that what happens if her finger goes off? 0.84

00:36:28.940 Yes.

00:36:29.160 Was her middle finger a high-capacity magazine?

00:36:31.780 Yes.

00:36:32.520 Holy cow. 0.89

00:36:33.460 It had three clips underneath it.

00:36:35.360 Really?

00:36:35.740 Yeah.

00:36:36.280 Three clips?

00:36:36.980 Clips.

00:36:37.480 Yeah.

00:36:37.920 Yeah.

00:36:38.460 Yeah.

00:36:38.840 Not magazines, but three clips.

00:36:41.200 Whatever it is, the thing that you stick in there and put it in.

00:36:43.980 We were just talking about you.

00:36:45.460 Yeah.

00:36:45.600 Anyway, this law in California is so bad that the ACLU is opposing this bill.

00:36:54.820 No way.

00:36:55.380 The ACLU is saying, quote, this law poses a significant threat to civil liberties because

00:37:03.300 a restraining order can be sought before a gun owner is the opportunity to dispute the

00:37:08.400 request.

00:37:09.020 Additionally, those making the request under the new law may lack the relationship or skills

00:37:16.240 required to make an appropriate assessment, end quote.

00:37:20.820 You want to talk about your rights going away?

00:37:24.160 Oh, my.

00:37:24.920 Wait until you hear next hour.

00:37:27.580 Coming up in just a second.

00:37:28.640 Thank you, Pat.

00:37:31.480 That's usually followed with, you're welcome, Glenn.

00:37:35.400 You just stink.

00:37:38.460 You're welcome, Glenn.

00:37:40.360 Thank you.

00:37:40.920 That was nice.

00:37:41.320 Thank you so much.

00:37:43.140 Have you been thinking about, hang on just a second.

00:37:48.900 I'm not sure.

00:37:49.420 What am I supposed to be talking about here?

00:37:51.220 Relief Factor.

00:37:52.260 Okay.

00:37:52.880 Let me tell you about Relief Factor.

00:37:55.020 Relief Factor is a great, great product that I use three times a day.

00:38:01.180 Pam found herself in the position of not being able to sleep very well at night.

00:38:05.940 She, unless she lays flat on her back.

00:38:08.360 I went through this exact thing, Pam, staring up the ceiling.

00:38:12.260 She, if she was leaning on her side, she'd have shooting pain that would start in her

00:38:16.140 shoulders, go all the way down to her arm, sleeping on her side or her stomach was out. 0.97

00:38:21.420 And she'd always been a side sleeper.

00:38:23.460 This is when she discovered Relief Factor.

00:38:26.860 Skeptical at first, but she had tried another bunch of other pain relievers before.

00:38:30.840 None of them had helped.

00:38:32.020 She decided to give it a try and she has her life back.

00:38:36.460 She now sleeps on her side every night.

00:38:38.980 She can because of Relief Factor. 0.97

00:38:41.040 It reduces the inflammation, a major source for most pain.

00:38:43.740 It's $19.95 to try it for three weeks.

00:38:46.480 Just try it.

00:38:47.120 See if it works for you.

00:38:48.300 If it does, you get your life back.

00:38:50.080 It's relieffactor.com.

00:38:51.720 800-500-8384.

00:38:54.040 800-500-8384.

00:38:58.400 Or relieffactor.com.

00:39:02.540 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

00:39:05.200 I just want to make mention of something and then move on.

00:39:28.720 This scene that Donald Trump allowed to be seen around him, the scene from the Kingsman.

00:39:40.360 If you remember in the first Kingsman, if you saw it, there's a very violent scene in

00:39:44.840 the center where they go into this Westboro Baptist church and some crazy guy, they won't

00:39:50.980 mention this, some crazy guy who's all about global warming has put a chip into people's

00:39:56.860 heads and can make them kill anybody. 0.94

00:40:00.500 And so he goes in to this church, they turn on the chip, and he kills these Westboro Baptist 1.00

00:40:06.940 church people.

00:40:08.560 Not specifically that church, but it was that type of church.

00:40:11.060 It was how it was portrayed.

00:40:12.200 Yeah.

00:40:12.520 And so it's a crazy, crazy church and a crazy scene and extraordinarily violent.

00:40:17.900 Well, somebody, in a really cheesy sort of way, this is not a deep fake kind of thing.

00:40:23.100 They take Donald Trump's face and plaster it over the killer's face, and then they put

00:40:30.000 little signs like CNN and everything else around the people in the church.

00:40:34.280 Okay.

00:40:35.120 So they play it and they're like, oh, this is so funny.

00:40:37.800 It's a stupid meme.

00:40:39.160 And it's a bad meme.

00:40:41.960 And the media is all up in arms today because how dare them?

00:40:45.840 This is going to cause violence against the media.

00:40:51.520 Really?

00:40:53.500 Really?

00:40:53.980 Because I don't think you had a problem with it when it was just the Christians that were

00:40:57.460 being killed.

00:40:59.260 And Stu pointed out this morning, well, no, but wait, those were Westboro Baptist.

00:41:04.220 And I said, oh, yeah, that's right.

00:41:06.420 They were Westboro Baptist style.

00:41:08.760 However.

00:41:10.220 Yeah, this is from the Washington.

00:41:11.860 Go ahead.

00:41:12.280 Matt Walsh tweeted this.

00:41:13.360 The two ways the Washington Post treated this.

00:41:15.640 Violent, horrific, fake video of Trump massacring media shown at his Miami resort draws backlash.

00:41:19.700 When the movie came out, they said this.

00:41:21.960 One massacre set in a conservative Christian church in the American Deep South is a master 1.00

00:41:26.060 class in cartoonish fight choreography.

00:41:28.460 Unbelievable.

00:41:29.300 From master class to heinous.

00:41:32.220 And by the way, you notice they didn't say that it was a crazy church?

00:41:37.240 Yeah, they didn't point it out.

00:41:38.400 It was a conservative church in the South.

00:41:41.980 They had no problem with it then.

00:41:44.120 You have no credibility on the left or the post or anybody else.

00:41:47.880 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

00:41:59.780 I'm going to talk about what Barr was just talking about there in just a second.

00:42:04.760 Stand by.

00:42:05.200 How is your monthly budget?

00:42:08.740 If you are sending a lot of your money into credit cards to pay for those credit cards,

00:42:15.540 they have double digit interest rates.

00:42:18.300 It makes no sense other than they can make all of their cash off of you.

00:42:24.160 Get out of those high interest rates if you can.

00:42:27.640 If you own a house, may I recommend that you pay all of that stuff down with a refi from

00:42:35.340 American Financing.

00:42:37.880 If I'm correct and things on the horizon begin to break apart, you're going to have a hard

00:42:44.480 time getting a refi loan.

00:42:46.040 You're going to have a hard time getting any kind of loan and credit is going to be short

00:42:49.640 as well.

00:42:50.240 And those credit card interest payments will just go up.

00:42:53.160 Please call American Financing and do the responsible thing right now.

00:42:58.680 Americanfinancing.net

00:43:00.620 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:43:20.720 Ben Shapiro.

00:43:23.160 On his show last week responded to Beto saying that you're not going to be able to teach your

00:43:35.140 children anything other than gender fluidity and that it will be basically child abuse if 0.55

00:43:43.300 you try.

00:43:45.260 And here's what Ben Shapiro said.

00:43:47.680 Listen, in other words, if you're a church, you're not infringing on anybody's rights.

00:43:50.480 You're just saying you can't come here for your marriage.

00:43:52.580 Go to the church down the street.

00:43:54.080 You're a religious school.

00:43:55.040 You're saying, listen, you want to learn about gay rights.

00:43:56.900 Go to the public school down the street.

00:43:58.780 You want to learn about gay rights.

00:44:00.160 You can just go to that secular atheistic crossroads school in Santa Monica.

00:44:03.620 Like, enjoy yourself.

00:44:04.360 That's your problem.

00:44:05.420 Go enjoy.

00:44:06.420 Fine.

00:44:07.580 You're not infringing on anybody.

00:44:09.220 Your mere existence is an infringement, according to Beto O'Rourke.

00:44:12.360 The institutional existence is an infringement on liberty, according to Beto O'Rourke.

00:44:16.760 And you must be shut down.

00:44:18.340 You want a culture war in this country?

00:44:19.860 You damn well have it, Beto O'Rourke.

00:44:21.520 You want a culture war in this country?

00:44:22.820 You want this country to come apart at the seams?

00:44:24.400 This is how you do it.

00:44:25.820 Because I promise you, if you come to tell me that you're going to indoctrinate my kids

00:44:28.920 in particular policy, and that I can't pull my kid out of the school and send my

00:44:32.080 kids to a school I want to send them to, that I can't go to the church or synagogue 1.00

00:44:35.320 that I want to go to.

00:44:37.220 And if you make that national policy, not just California policy where I can move, but

00:44:41.320 national policy, people are not going to stand for that.

00:44:44.340 They're not going to stand for that.

00:44:46.300 And if you send a truant officer to remove my child, I have two choices at that point,

00:44:50.680 right?

00:44:51.200 If I have no place to move, because you've now made this national federal policy, I

00:44:54.820 now have two choices.

00:44:55.580 One is to leave the country utterly.

00:44:57.700 Two is to pick up a gun.

00:44:58.660 Those are the only choices that you have left me.

00:45:00.400 And now people are like, oh, how could you say stuff like that?

00:45:03.280 How could you be so extreme?

00:45:04.340 It's not extreme to defend the fundamental rights the Constitution was created in order

00:45:09.360 to protect.

00:45:10.320 These rights pre-exist government.

00:45:12.460 My right to raise my child in my faith is my right.

00:45:16.360 That is a First Amendment right.

00:45:17.940 There's only one reason the government exists, to protect those rights, not invade those rights.

00:45:21.360 It is my right to raise my child with the moral precept that I find to be beneficial

00:45:25.880 for my child.

00:45:27.380 Well, O'Rourke does not get to raise my child.

00:45:29.300 And if he tries, I will meet him at the door with a gun.

00:45:31.580 That is insane.

00:45:32.220 Now everybody was up in arms about that.

00:45:37.120 I agree 100%.

00:45:39.360 I tweeted that right after this came out.

00:45:44.280 And I said, if you want to not be a parent, if you would like to be more of a babysitter,

00:45:50.540 you can go to Canada, you can go to the UK, Russia, China.

00:45:55.340 Boy, China, they'll raise your kids for you. 1.00

00:45:57.560 You don't even have to drive them to gym.

00:46:00.120 I mean, they'll become gymnasts.

00:46:02.060 You'll have nothing to do with it.

00:46:03.880 Just have a baby and let them take and run it. 1.00

00:46:06.780 But we begin there in one minute.

00:46:11.740 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:46:13.620 Okay, so we have a new stat coming out that nobody is going to be talking about, but crime, violent crime.

00:46:23.300 In fact, murder with a gun is down 9% this year.

00:46:30.640 9% again this year.

00:46:33.380 Yet nobody is going to be talking about that.

00:46:36.000 Also, a Bureau of Justice study shows that 40% of all guns that were used in crimes were obtained illegally or through a street source.

00:46:46.520 Another 40% were obtained through family and friends.

00:46:49.960 And a recent study in Pennsylvania found that, precisely the same thing, 79% of all perpetrators who committed a crime with a firearm didn't own it legally.

00:47:03.280 Gun violence is tragic, but misinformation is just as bad.

00:47:10.300 You cannot bury your head in the sands because they're coming for the Second Amendment.

00:47:17.160 They are, make no mistake.

00:47:19.960 When you join the USCCA, you're going to get instant access to industry-leading self-defense education, training, and legal protection.

00:47:28.060 Plus, they're giving law-abided citizens like you up to 17 guns for free every day this month.

00:47:35.260 Just text GLENN to the number 87222 and claim your free entries to win.

00:47:39.940 You get 17 chances to win, 100% secure, and a confirmation text will be sent.

00:47:45.440 It's GLENN, G-L-E-N-N, to the number 87222. 0.91

00:47:48.500 GLENN to 87222.

00:47:50.800 For information and rules, go to protectanddefend.com.

00:47:54.520 Standard message and data rates do apply.

00:47:56.820 First, let me start here.

00:48:08.420 So you know exactly where I'm coming from.

00:48:11.260 My church has made a proclamation called Proclamation of a Family.

00:48:16.680 Now, they didn't do this because they were freaking out about what is happening right now

00:48:21.160 and rushing just to say something so they could keep their bigoted view.

00:48:27.100 No, they made a proclamation to the world on the family.

00:48:32.200 And they did this in the 1990s.

00:48:33.900 And quite honestly, anybody in the faith went,

00:48:36.020 Duh, when it came out.

00:48:38.420 Now it looks a little prophetic.

00:48:39.860 Second paragraph.

00:48:43.360 All human beings, male and female, are created in the image of God.

00:48:48.760 Each is a beloved spirit, son, or daughter of heavenly parents.

00:48:52.680 And as such, each has divine nature and destiny.

00:48:57.780 Gender is an essential characteristic of individual, premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose.

00:49:07.620 So my faith has been teaching forever that gender is not fluid.

00:49:16.840 Gender is not a mistake.

00:49:20.200 You are not a mistake.

00:49:23.460 But now, Beto and the others in the Democratic Party would like to remove that responsibility.

00:49:30.100 And if you think that it's not happening, think again.

00:49:33.640 Now, I tweeted 100% support behind Beto.

00:49:38.880 What is the Second Amendment for, if not to protect the First Amendment?

00:49:46.580 And I said, if you want to be a parent that's more of a babysitter, just go to Canada. 0.86

00:49:51.760 Are you a babysitter, or are you a parent?

00:50:01.120 As a parent, you get to direct the affairs and decisions of your kids.

00:50:05.020 While still respecting their basic human rights as human beings, you help them determine their course in life.

00:50:13.340 What they wear, what they don't, the beginning, what they eat, when they sleep, the books they read, what games they play, when they get a bike, when they get their first BB gun.

00:50:22.360 It's an awesome and terrifying experience and responsibility every single minute.

00:50:30.040 And if you're a good parent, you worry all the time about that one kid that's going to come in and influence them and steer them in another direction after all of the hard work you've done.

00:50:41.720 And then we pay a university to do it.

00:50:50.180 The responsibility of not screwing something up.

00:50:54.460 And I got news for you.

00:50:55.820 We all screw our kids up.

00:50:57.400 We all do.

00:50:57.940 We all make mistakes.

00:50:59.900 What if you let them eat too much candy?

00:51:02.080 What if they sit too close to the TV and get eye cancer?

00:51:05.080 What if letting them play with your Apple Watch results in accidentally sending dozens of pictures of your nose hairs to your PTA president?

00:51:16.080 As far as your kid is concerned, you are a bit of a benevolent dictator.

00:51:22.000 At least until they get into their teens and figure out that you're mostly full of crap, you really don't know what you're doing.

00:51:29.360 Those are fun days.

00:51:30.360 As a parent, you and your spouse run the show.

00:51:36.760 When you have a babysitter, they only have a select set of discretionary powers that you delegate to them.

00:51:45.660 They run the set of plays that you select.

00:51:49.100 Feed them this.

00:51:50.340 Put them in bed at nine.

00:51:52.560 Video games only after homework is done.

00:51:55.280 Babysitters, the good ones at least, simply do the list of things that you tell them to do.

00:52:01.140 They don't have any authority to engage in life-altering actions for your kids.

00:52:06.740 They are there to tend for a very short period of time.

00:52:11.700 Tend to your children, but not decide who your kids will be or how they will be raised.

00:52:17.820 School is not a babysitter.

00:52:23.560 School is not a parent.

00:52:25.280 Are we parents anymore?

00:52:32.260 Do we get to decide how and when our child develops?

00:52:36.380 Should they take the Flintstone vitamins or not?

00:52:38.780 Should they get all their vaccinations or not?

00:52:40.680 Are they ready to learn about the birds and the bees or not?

00:52:43.220 Are they mature enough to have a sleepover, to carry a cell phone, to ride bikes across Main Street, to buy a soda at the Dairy Queen?

00:52:50.120 These choices aren't yours anymore.

00:52:52.700 You can't send your kids walking down the street just to go to Dairy Queen.

00:52:56.720 God forbid somebody sees that child and says you're an irresponsible parent. 0.93

00:53:01.660 What?

00:53:02.120 They were going to the park to play.

00:53:04.060 I got so much hate mail from people.

00:53:11.720 Oh, really?

00:53:13.340 What rights have I lost by living in Canada?

00:53:17.140 A lot.

00:53:18.780 What rights have I lost living in Great Britain?

00:53:23.840 A ton.

00:53:24.820 Ask Charlie Gard's parents.

00:53:29.460 The child whom British socialized medicine decided it was too expensive to treat for a severe disorder, and they left him on feeding tubes to die, despite the parents' pleas to remove him from the hospital and take him to another country for attempts at treatment.

00:53:46.840 Despite the court battles and the global press coverage, the death panel, yes, the death panel decided it would set a bad precedent, and then all the parents that didn't have the chance and the choice to treat their children, well, they might.

00:54:02.200 They might be an uprising.

00:54:05.760 Even though the children could be taken outside of the country at zero cost to the government, you can't allow the parents to do that. 0.70

00:54:15.480 What about in Canada, where it's considered legal child abuse, not to address your child with their preferred gendered pronoun at any age?

00:54:28.900 Child abuse.

00:54:30.160 That's what it is in Canada now.

00:54:31.720 Child abuse that could result in your child being removed from your home and placed in government-ordered foster care, with you in jail as if you had beaten your child with a tire iron.

00:54:43.000 The same goes for teaching your children that homosexuality might be a sin in the eyes of God.

00:54:50.700 Also, federal offense punishable by potential jail time, even if your religious beliefs indicate that it's a sin.

00:54:59.000 That's why my people came here to America and not to Canada.

00:55:03.760 We came here because we knew we had certain rights that no one else guaranteed.

00:55:09.420 But our Constitution guarantees our right of freedom of religion.

00:55:15.980 How about in the EU, where parents can be fined if it's determined that they're not giving Islam fair and equal coverage to Christianity or Judaism in their homeschooling program?

00:55:26.040 No matter your religious traditions, your scriptures, if you teach your kids that Moses was a prophet but Muhammad was not, in Europe, they can take your child because you're engaging in hate speech.

00:55:42.380 The hate speech of teaching Christian theology is being superior to Muslim theology. 0.99

00:55:47.400 Not in your own home, not in all of Europe.

00:55:51.920 What rights have I lost?

00:55:55.580 How about this?

00:55:57.200 Are your kids ready to learn about sex?

00:55:59.900 And at what age?

00:56:01.540 When do they learn where babies come from? 1.00

00:56:05.040 And believe me, they start asking way before they're ready to know much detail.

00:56:09.580 Whoever invented the stork story was genius because you do, you can delay for a little while.

00:56:17.920 Seriously.

00:56:19.780 Parents.

00:56:21.400 Parents decide that.

00:56:23.240 And even in their own home, each child is different.

00:56:27.220 How and when and how you have that discussion and what you say.

00:56:32.280 Or maybe not.

00:56:33.380 Not anymore.

00:56:34.660 That ship has sailed.

00:56:35.660 After all, as parents, we're not really parents anymore.

00:56:39.960 At least in most of the world.

00:56:41.860 Here in America, it's holding on by a thread.

00:56:44.800 And I mean that thread is not good.

00:56:47.120 Maybe we're just all babysitters.

00:56:49.140 Maybe the government will leave us a note on when the children should be in bed.

00:56:53.540 What we should teach.

00:56:54.500 When we should teach.

00:56:55.660 What they can watch.

00:56:56.700 What they can't watch.

00:56:58.680 In 2015, advanced sex education became a required curriculum in Canadian public schools,

00:57:04.620 including primary and secondary school, for kindergarten through 12th grade.

00:57:11.420 Announcing the controversial program, the education minister, named Pru,

00:57:17.780 indicated the program would include what he turned age-appropriate instruction on LGBTQ and gender expression issues,

00:57:26.700 sexual orientation, sexual assault, as well as traditional sex education topics, such as preventing STDs.

00:57:33.760 Although Mr. Pru acknowledged some parents and teachers may be opposed to this content,

00:57:39.920 the instruction is necessary, saying, quote,

00:57:42.520 I know it's not an easy subject.

00:57:44.580 I know the questions are sensitive, but we have to respond to a society and a societal issue.

00:57:51.620 The new program was developed in collaboration with sexologists,

00:57:54.920 as well as public and private organizations, including Planned Parenthood.

00:57:59.080 When asked if parents who objected to the content would be allowed to opt out of the new sex education program,

00:58:06.340 Mr. Pru indicated such waivers would be allowed only in exceptional cases,

00:58:11.820 such as if a student had been the prior victim of sexual abuse.

00:58:15.680 Other than that, no exemptions would be allowed for moral or religious belief.

00:58:20.220 Canada, and all those who tweeted me, what have I lost?

00:58:25.860 You lost it long ago, and you probably don't care.

00:58:30.620 Americans, at least some of us, still do.

00:58:33.980 Because we are guaranteed that right.

00:58:37.300 You never had that right.

00:58:39.080 We were guaranteed that right.

00:58:42.320 And Ben Shapiro is right.

00:58:43.960 That is the only reason the Constitution exists, or the government exists.

00:58:48.460 This is the only reason governments are instituted among men to protect those rights. 0.81

00:59:01.080 But that's not all.

00:59:02.860 It gets worse.

00:59:05.020 Not only in Europe, but we'll take a look at what's happening here as well.

00:59:10.620 And continue to ask yourself, are you a parent, or are you a babysitter?

00:59:18.460 You've known and trusted the name Norton for a long time.

01:00:37.880 Station ID.

01:00:40.180 During the four years this program was in place in Canada,

01:00:53.500 let me give you some of the lessons that were taught.

01:00:57.160 In Quebec, children as young as 10 were taught that a person's gender does not correspond to their sex at birth.

01:01:05.900 In Montreal, kindergartners age 6 were split into small groups and given dolls to enable them to play house,

01:01:13.980 including same-sex parents, gender-neutral couples, where parents didn't identify as mom and dad,

01:01:20.120 but rather parent 1 and parent 2.

01:01:22.120 12- to 13-year-old students were given a writing exercise based on this question.

01:01:29.320 How would thinking about your personal limits and making a personal plan influence decisions you may choose to make about your sexual activity?

01:01:36.840 The age of consent, by the way, in Canada is 18, so sex at age 13 would be statutory rape in Canada,

01:01:46.200 but it doesn't stop them from teaching that you're still going to have it.

01:01:49.920 In a guest lecture provided by a nurse from Planned Parenthood, one lesson taught to 8th graders ways to risk the pregnancy.

01:01:58.840 Suggestions including condoms, masturbation, same-sex partners, and anal intercourse, abstinence was not one of the suggestions.

01:02:07.120 Quoting from the Canadian sex education curriculum, children are expected to demonstrate an understanding of gender identity,

01:02:14.960 male, female, two-spirited, transgender, transsexual, intersex, gender expression, sexual orientation, gay, heterosexual, lesbian, bisexual,

01:02:25.400 and identify factors that can help individuals of all identities and orientations to develop self-positive concepts.

01:02:32.420 In 2015, Ben Levin pleaded guilty to multiple counts of child exploitation, production, and possession of child pornography and pedophilia.

01:03:02.420 By the way, Mr. Levin's name is not on the list of authors, but he was one of the authors of the Canadian sex education manual.

01:03:15.600 Canada's not unique.

01:03:17.480 BBC article from 2017 citing the alleged success of the Canadian sex education program.

01:03:25.260 They're rolling it out now in UK.

01:03:27.080 In the UK, the program is called Sexual Relationships Education.

01:03:31.500 Focus on teaching children as young as 12 the importance of developing a proper, healthy sexual identity and relationship.

01:03:38.360 The mandatory program includes instruction for students to learn and understand about their own bodies, including what feels good and what does not.

01:03:46.880 Quoting from the study guide, thinking about your sexual health is complicated.

01:03:50.660 It's also about your sexual orientation and gender identity.

01:03:54.800 The understanding of your own body include what gives you pleasure and the emotional implications of sex intimacy and sexual relationships.

01:04:04.960 By the way, as of 2018, the state of California has made this sexual education mandatory with no opt-out provisions.

01:04:15.420 Massachusetts has this on the ballot.

01:04:17.680 But wait, there's more.

01:04:22.560 What rights am I losing as a parent?

01:04:26.660 Oh, you're about to lose almost all of them.

01:04:30.360 Almost all of them.

01:04:31.920 Choose wisely, America.

01:04:34.200 Back in a minute.

01:04:37.520 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:04:40.660 So, you know, identity theft can take place in a lot of ways other than just credit card fraud, right?

01:04:45.620 When you hear the words identity theft, our credit cards are usually what we reach to pat and make sure that they're still there.

01:04:53.220 Identity theft.

01:04:55.820 It spans an increasing wide range of ways that cyber criminals can separate you from your money.

01:05:02.340 This is where LifeLock can help you.

01:05:03.940 LifeLock detects a wide range of identity threats.

01:05:15.020 And they have a U.S.-based team of restoration specialists.

01:06:20.500 Beto has said in the last few days that if your church,

01:06:27.540 if your school is not teaching, you know, gender fluidity and everything else,

01:06:34.360 that you'll be forced to because the laws are changing.

01:06:40.080 Well, no, you're not going to force me because this is a, for me,

01:06:46.300 this is a religious doctrine.

01:06:49.600 My doctrine of my church is that, and this wasn't just made up,

01:06:54.480 this is 30 years ago, that gender is part of your identity, of your soul.

01:07:05.120 That there are no mistakes, and that male and female are specific.

01:07:12.240 And they are assigned.

01:07:14.380 You don't have to believe this, but this is what I believe.

01:07:17.860 They are assigned when your spirit is created.

01:07:21.520 There is no mix-up on that.

01:07:25.700 Now, again, you don't have to believe that.

01:07:29.460 But I have a right to say it, I have a right to believe it,

01:07:32.980 and I have a right to live it in public.

01:07:37.740 Now, I don't have a right to hate people that are different.

01:07:41.700 Well, actually, I do.

01:07:43.360 You do have a right to be an idiot.

01:07:45.560 You can hate whoever you want.

01:07:48.080 But that would be idiotic.

01:07:50.740 It doesn't mean that I hate anybody.

01:07:52.980 And I certainly am not teaching my children that there should be, you know,

01:07:57.820 violence or they're half people or anything like that.

01:08:01.000 I don't even know who would do that.

01:08:02.740 Well, except for people who believe we came from monkeys,

01:08:06.640 because there's got to be some half people around here,

01:08:09.740 half monkey, half people.

01:08:11.700 After all, it was the survival of the fit species.

01:08:17.760 I'm not sure which ones are fit or not.

01:08:22.580 If you think that this isn't an issue,

01:08:27.000 Ben Shapiro was used this weekend as a guy who said,

01:08:31.240 I'll defend my right and my synagogue's right to teach whatever it is they teach.

01:08:36.780 And if you come to my house to take my children away,

01:08:39.620 say, because I believe in these things,

01:08:41.640 well, you'll meet me at the door with a gun because I have a right.

01:08:44.480 And the left immediately freaked out.

01:08:46.440 See, they all got a gun crazy.

01:08:47.940 This would be a red flag law if they have their way.

01:08:50.900 Ben Shapiro would have his rights taken from him.

01:08:54.120 But that is exactly what the First Amendment is for,

01:08:57.020 to defend the First Amendment.

01:08:59.020 When the government makes the sexual activization and grooming of a 12-year-old child

01:09:07.440 as state policy,

01:09:10.300 using the threat of fines or jail time for parents who may not choose to have their children instructed how to develop sexual relationships,

01:09:18.560 your right as a parent are gone.

01:09:21.100 When a state is teaching five- and six-year-olds how to identify and spell vagina, vulva, anus, penis,

01:09:28.420 instead of cat, dog, mom, and dad,

01:09:31.160 your rights as a parent are gone.

01:09:34.340 When the state is requiring first-grade teachers to read My Princess Boy,

01:09:40.140 that reads,

01:09:41.120 Dyson loves pink, sparkly things.

01:09:43.160 Sometimes he wears dresses.

01:09:44.460 Sometimes he wears jeans.

01:09:45.700 He likes to wear his princess tiara, even when climbing trees.

01:09:50.240 He's a princess boy.

01:09:52.520 Then that is,

01:09:53.500 when that is required

01:09:54.840 for seven- and eight-year-olds to be read,

01:09:59.040 but Huck Finn,

01:10:00.320 Catcher in the Rye,

01:10:01.440 and the Jungle Book are all banned,

01:10:04.200 your rights as a parent are gone.

01:10:09.380 Schools in Canada and the UK,

01:10:11.440 and increasingly so here in America,

01:10:13.240 have become nothing more than sexual training centers,

01:10:16.760 grooming children as young as five and six years old

01:10:19.900 for sexually active lives,

01:10:22.340 gender fluidity,

01:10:23.700 and bisexuality.

01:10:25.700 In the name of remaking the world

01:10:27.620 into a politically correct safe space

01:10:30.060 for every possible gender identity,

01:10:32.860 every sexual behavior,

01:10:34.540 and proclivity,

01:10:36.720 they have made it the government's business

01:10:39.260 to hyper-sexualize our children,

01:10:41.500 normalizing ultra-rare behaviors

01:10:44.620 such as gender dysphoria,

01:10:46.880 and they are teaching our young children

01:10:48.920 how to develop a plan around sexual activity

01:10:51.720 and figuring out

01:10:52.980 what could possibly be different

01:10:55.180 and sexually pleasurable.

01:10:57.320 These lessons happen when the kids are pre-teens.

01:11:01.640 Well, children aren't going to become

01:11:03.040 sexually active anyway.

01:11:05.540 It's a societal problem we have to deal with.

01:11:07.880 You're damn right.

01:11:08.820 It is 100% a societal problem.

01:11:13.740 That's why I don't want society fixing it.

01:11:18.140 We have a problem in our society

01:11:20.040 when we believe that by law,

01:11:22.080 10- and 12-year-old kids

01:11:23.460 need to learn about anal intercourse 0.69

01:11:26.680 as a way to not get pregnant,

01:11:28.940 but not abstinence.

01:11:30.160 It is a societal problem.

01:11:31.740 The problem is that our kids

01:11:34.580 are more likely to be exposed to pornography

01:11:36.900 than the last generation.

01:11:39.200 They're more likely to be bullied if they're gay.

01:11:45.140 We have solutions for those kinds of problems,

01:11:47.580 and parents have to do their job in the solution.

01:11:52.500 The same as it's always been.

01:11:54.920 The problem is we have somehow come to believe

01:11:57.360 that the only way to solve any perceived ill in the world

01:12:00.220 is for government to act.

01:12:01.940 That is against the Constitution.

01:12:06.060 I have rights as a parent.

01:12:10.360 Now, could churches and religions

01:12:12.520 help provide a framework

01:12:13.700 for understanding relationships,

01:12:15.400 self-worth, sexuality, and love?

01:12:17.520 No!

01:12:18.440 That ghost in the sky,

01:12:20.100 he's not real.

01:12:22.260 Could parents determine the right way

01:12:24.260 and the wrong way

01:12:25.060 to discuss sexual feelings

01:12:26.840 and urges with their kids?

01:12:28.200 No!

01:12:30.980 Parents might make their kids feel uncomfortable.

01:12:33.760 Only in the scientifically-based classroom setting

01:12:36.600 can children freely discover

01:12:38.520 and express their sexuality.

01:12:41.540 If in your state,

01:12:42.860 your province,

01:12:43.580 your country,

01:12:44.320 your local school district,

01:12:46.000 you don't have a choice

01:12:47.180 about sending your kids into a classroom

01:12:49.100 where teachers are required

01:12:50.320 to teach this kind of content,

01:12:52.420 don't even pretend

01:12:53.820 you have any rights left as a parent.

01:12:56.260 Are you delusional?

01:12:57.200 Have you fallen that far

01:12:59.240 that we all somehow believe

01:13:01.520 that somehow our duty

01:13:03.080 as a citizen

01:13:04.200 is to let our children

01:13:05.580 be psychologically

01:13:06.480 and philosophically molded

01:13:08.600 by some government stooge

01:13:10.620 into sexually active gender

01:13:12.720 and sex orientation

01:13:13.780 fluid agents of change?

01:13:17.040 There are children.

01:13:19.220 These are the people

01:13:20.220 we've been working so hard

01:13:21.920 to keep them away from

01:13:23.240 their whole life.

01:13:24.580 And now they're in a position

01:13:25.900 of authority?

01:13:29.020 I don't know about you,

01:13:30.060 but as for Mr. Shapiro,

01:13:32.320 I'm with you, Ben.

01:13:35.220 I'm with you.

01:13:38.120 Beto, don't show up at my door

01:13:39.500 demanding my kids learn

01:13:40.620 about developing a sexual plan

01:13:42.480 at the age of 12.

01:13:44.700 Because if you do,

01:13:45.640 we're going to have

01:13:45.960 a serious disagreement.

01:13:48.780 And you also have

01:13:49.800 a serious disagreement

01:13:50.880 with me and many of my neighbors

01:13:53.760 about the Second Amendment

01:13:55.000 as well.

01:13:55.660 The Second Amendment

01:13:56.980 is not there for hunting.

01:13:58.560 It's not there for sport.

01:14:00.900 It is there to keep

01:14:02.620 tyranny at bay.

01:14:04.360 It is there for the citizens.

01:14:06.780 So they have a way

01:14:08.560 to rise up against

01:14:10.180 an out-of-control government

01:14:13.060 that wants nothing more

01:14:15.580 than tyranny.

01:14:16.560 They want the guns

01:14:18.460 because they,

01:14:19.560 that way,

01:14:20.060 can control the populace.

01:14:24.480 I think it was said best

01:14:26.360 by Charlton Heston,

01:14:27.840 out of my cold,

01:14:29.660 dead hands.

01:14:32.280 It is never outrageous

01:14:34.520 or radical

01:14:35.420 to defend

01:14:36.440 the Bill of Rights.

01:14:40.140 Don't be a babysitter.

01:14:45.360 You are a parent.

01:14:51.020 Do your job

01:14:52.320 and do not

01:14:53.680 surrender this ground.

01:14:59.260 Beto, stay out of my house. 1.00

01:15:01.240 Stay out of my homeschool.

01:15:03.100 Stay out of my kids' lives.

01:15:04.900 You're not welcome there.

01:15:07.680 I'm a parent.

01:15:08.720 That's my job.

01:15:12.260 That's my wife's job. 1.00

01:15:14.780 And we may hire

01:15:16.040 the occasional babysitter,

01:15:18.120 but believe me,

01:15:20.160 I would never hire

01:15:22.040 some creep out of Washington

01:15:23.820 to watch my kids.

01:15:26.480 We're parents.

01:15:29.060 No others need apply.

01:15:31.380 I've been talking to you

01:15:37.500 a lot about SimpliSafe,

01:15:38.500 their home monitoring system,

01:15:40.160 and how you can increase

01:15:41.440 your peace of mind

01:15:42.060 throughout the day

01:15:42.740 by having it installed

01:15:43.640 in your home.

01:15:44.980 Now, there's a lot of places

01:15:46.160 that you might want to protect.

01:15:47.440 Maybe you have a kid

01:15:48.300 who's going to college

01:15:49.100 right now,

01:15:49.600 living in a dorm room.

01:15:51.300 I think we can remember

01:15:53.240 what college was like

01:15:54.400 when we were kids,

01:15:55.320 and it's not like that anymore.

01:15:57.500 The semester is drawing

01:16:01.280 slowly to a close.

01:16:02.420 The holidays are right

01:16:03.120 around the corner.

01:16:03.820 Why not give your college kid

01:16:04.960 the gift of SimpliSafe,

01:16:06.880 the gift of peace of mind?

01:16:39.380 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:16:52.420 Hey, before we get to the podcast,

01:16:53.940 I want to talk to you

01:16:54.640 about the 2 million burglaries

01:16:56.740 that are reported every year.

01:16:58.300 And what's crazy

01:16:58.960 is that only 1 in 5 homes

01:17:00.820 have security.

01:17:02.540 I mean,

01:17:03.120 burglaries are happening

01:17:04.000 all the time.

01:17:05.600 And I think the reason

01:17:06.740 why people don't have

01:17:08.260 a security system

01:17:09.320 in their home

01:17:09.680 is because

01:17:10.140 the security companies suck.

01:17:12.360 They've got all kinds,

01:17:13.140 you've got people

01:17:14.340 coming into your house,

01:17:15.540 they're going to drill

01:17:16.080 holes in your wall.

01:17:17.440 Hello, Mr. 1972.

01:17:19.140 That's why SimpliSafe

01:17:22.240 is just tearing

01:17:23.720 this business apart.

01:17:25.280 It is growing

01:17:26.200 so incredibly fast,

01:17:28.160 and it is the best

01:17:29.620 in industry.

01:17:30.800 There's no contract,

01:17:32.200 no hidden fees,

01:17:32.980 no fine print,

01:17:33.840 no drilling holes

01:17:34.900 or stringing wires.

01:17:36.440 Around-the-clock monitoring

01:17:37.740 is $15 a month,

01:17:39.480 and you can cancel any time.

01:17:41.340 When other home security systems

01:17:42.980 are triggered,

01:17:43.760 police assume

01:17:44.400 it's a false alarm,

01:17:45.440 and it goes to the bottom

01:17:46.140 of the list.

01:17:46.900 But with using SimpliSafe

01:17:48.620 and their video

01:17:49.600 verification technology,

01:17:51.320 they can visually confirm

01:17:52.660 that the break-in

01:17:53.360 is happening,

01:17:54.160 and that gets the police

01:17:55.580 there from 45 minutes

01:17:56.820 instead to 7 minutes.

01:17:59.940 SimpliSafe.

01:18:00.520 They have a huge deal

01:18:20.980 slash Glenn.

01:18:37.760 You know what?

01:18:39.260 What's really incredible

01:18:40.320 to me is that people say,

01:18:42.640 oh, you're just

01:18:43.160 denying science.

01:18:44.120 You're just a Bible thumper. 1.00

01:18:45.920 Well, I have a right

01:18:47.140 to thump the Bible.

01:18:48.440 I have a right

01:18:49.200 to believe in the Bible.

01:18:50.440 I have a right

01:18:51.080 to my faith

01:18:52.940 and my religion,

01:18:53.800 and I have a right

01:18:55.080 to practice it openly.

01:18:57.440 That's what this country

01:18:58.520 was founded on.

01:19:00.620 So, yeah,

01:19:01.780 you could say that about me,

01:19:02.880 but I actually care

01:19:05.120 about the facts,

01:19:06.440 and the facts are,

01:19:07.560 when it comes to transgender,

01:19:09.980 85% of those

01:19:11.740 who have gender dysphoria

01:19:13.380 grow out of it.

01:19:18.400 85%.

01:19:18.880 Now,

01:19:19.520 they generally become

01:19:21.140 lesbian,

01:19:21.940 bisexual,

01:19:22.840 or, uh,

01:19:24.300 gay, 0.74

01:19:25.100 but you're turning,

01:19:27.260 you're targeting those

01:19:28.600 kids

01:19:29.120 and turning them

01:19:30.160 into a T

01:19:30.960 when they might be

01:19:31.880 an L or a G 0.98

01:19:32.780 or a B.

01:19:33.380 Why does nobody

01:19:35.560 care about this?

01:19:36.420 It seems like something

01:19:36.920 they would normally oppose,

01:19:38.020 right?

01:19:38.660 Like,

01:19:39.000 you're targeting

01:19:40.280 some young kid

01:19:41.460 who's an L, G,

01:19:42.140 and B

01:19:42.440 and trying to change them.

01:19:44.000 And when the overwhelming

01:19:45.080 evidence shows

01:19:45.740 that they don't want

01:19:46.340 to change,

01:19:47.440 when they don't change,

01:19:48.840 they wind up being happy

01:19:49.660 that they didn't change

01:19:50.600 later in life.

01:19:51.160 If it's 85%.

01:19:52.460 And what is the number

01:19:53.460 of those who do change

01:19:54.740 that want to change back?

01:19:57.360 That's interesting.

01:19:58.240 I don't have that

01:19:58.780 set in front of me.

01:19:59.760 The suicide rate

01:20:00.220 goes up

01:20:00.980 after the change.

01:20:03.680 I mean,

01:20:04.180 it's a major change,

01:20:05.580 you know?

01:20:06.080 It's a major change,

01:20:07.100 and we're,

01:20:07.780 you know,

01:20:08.440 locking something

01:20:09.640 like that in

01:20:11.000 when a child,

01:20:13.340 as we saw the other day,

01:20:14.700 is, you know,

01:20:16.180 likely, you know,

01:20:17.360 really interested

01:20:18.420 in, you know,

01:20:20.540 going to Disneyland

01:20:21.360 and, you know,

01:20:22.400 my kid is eight.

01:20:23.860 My son is eight.

01:20:24.980 And, you know,

01:20:25.460 the kids that were

01:20:25.920 on the CNN show

01:20:26.640 the other day were nine.

01:20:27.820 Like, my son is not prepared

01:20:29.160 to make a lifelong decision

01:20:31.420 that would change his gender. 0.94

01:20:32.900 If they are,

01:20:33.880 why can't we,

01:20:34.500 why can't eight-year-old,

01:20:35.380 nine-year-olds get married?

01:20:38.060 Yeah.

01:20:38.280 Because we all know

01:20:39.020 that's ridiculous.

01:20:39.760 You don't make that decision

01:20:41.760 at eight and nine years old.

01:20:43.440 Yeah.

01:20:43.880 That's why we have

01:20:44.500 all sorts of laws

01:20:45.100 that restrict people

01:20:46.100 who are eight and nine

01:20:47.000 from making lifelong decisions.

01:20:48.460 Right.

01:20:48.560 I mean,

01:20:48.740 marriage is at least reversible.

01:20:49.980 Right.

01:20:50.240 Even having sex with somebody.

01:20:52.080 They're nine years old.

01:20:53.180 They want to have sex. 0.84

01:20:53.840 No, it's against the law.

01:20:55.080 Why?

01:20:55.380 It was only sex once.

01:20:56.720 You're going to allow them

01:20:57.700 to change their gender 0.91

01:20:58.840 for life?

01:20:59.780 Right.

01:21:00.080 And, of course,

01:21:00.660 the same,

01:21:01.180 I mean,

01:21:01.380 obvious from,

01:21:02.400 aside from the obvious,

01:21:03.380 one of the arguments

01:21:04.100 against letting kids

01:21:05.700 make those decisions

01:21:06.440 would be they would be

01:21:07.600 scarred for life.

01:21:08.900 They're in this intense,

01:21:10.380 you know,

01:21:10.680 some sort of adult experience

01:21:12.560 at eight or nine years old.

01:21:14.100 Well,

01:21:14.420 you don't think

01:21:15.000 that that's true

01:21:15.740 with changing your gender?

01:21:17.240 Again,

01:21:18.340 like these things

01:21:18.920 can all happen

01:21:19.800 when kids become adults.

01:21:22.980 That eventually occurs.

01:21:24.780 The aging thing happens.

01:21:26.260 You know,

01:21:26.440 I see this all the time.

01:21:28.540 You know,

01:21:28.820 I'm relatively restrictive

01:21:30.120 with what I allow my kids

01:21:32.100 to watch on TV

01:21:32.980 and I even see it

01:21:33.900 compared to other parents

01:21:35.780 that we're friends with

01:21:36.900 that are generally

01:21:38.460 have the same profile

01:21:39.460 as us,

01:21:40.740 you know,

01:21:40.960 that are,

01:21:41.420 you know,

01:21:42.400 generally conservative

01:21:43.560 and maybe religious.

01:21:44.640 And I always think to myself,

01:21:46.620 look,

01:21:47.140 there is plenty of time

01:21:48.460 for my kid to enjoy

01:21:50.220 terrifying movies.

01:21:52.080 There's plenty of time

01:21:53.180 for my kid to enjoy

01:21:54.080 an appetite

01:21:54.480 for violent video games.

01:21:55.900 He can do all that

01:21:56.980 later on in life.

01:21:58.660 All that can all happen.

01:22:00.660 And you know what?

01:22:01.320 As a boy,

01:22:02.880 probably is going to happen

01:22:04.020 at some point.

01:22:04.620 He's probably going to love

01:22:05.280 that stuff.

01:22:05.700 I know a lot of it I like,

01:22:06.840 right?

01:22:07.440 But like,

01:22:08.040 there's no reason

01:22:08.720 to introduce it to them early.

01:22:11.340 And I think that's the situation here.

01:22:13.580 There is plenty of time

01:22:14.720 for an adult to decide,

01:22:16.240 you know what?

01:22:16.760 I'm making a logical decision

01:22:19.020 based on whatever I think

01:22:20.480 is going on in my life

01:22:21.600 that I'm going to wind up,

01:22:23.120 I'm going to decide

01:22:23.660 to be a girl.

01:22:24.780 Like,

01:22:24.960 that's a decision.

01:22:25.720 If you're going to make it,

01:22:26.640 you need to make it

01:22:27.480 with enough life experience

01:22:29.140 to at least be responsible

01:22:30.520 for your own actions.

01:22:31.980 And as we all know,

01:22:33.180 if you leave your eight

01:22:34.460 or nine-year-old

01:22:35.200 responsible for their own actions,

01:22:37.000 you will get arrested.

01:22:39.480 You will go to prison.

01:22:40.860 If we,

01:22:41.800 we are seeing this

01:22:42.760 all over the country,

01:22:43.580 where if you let

01:22:44.340 your eight or nine-year-old

01:22:45.160 go play at the playground

01:22:46.660 by themselves,

01:22:48.040 the police come to your house.

01:22:50.280 Playing for an afternoon

01:22:51.740 by themselves

01:22:52.660 gets a visit from the police.

01:22:54.320 But if you allow them

01:22:56.720 to change their gender 0.91

01:22:59.660 or you don't want them

01:23:01.240 to make that choice,

01:23:02.560 the police will come

01:23:03.820 to your house.

01:23:04.560 I mean,

01:23:05.240 that's insanity.

01:23:06.560 Let me play the Bill Barr.

01:23:08.080 He spoke about this

01:23:09.160 this weekend.

01:23:10.300 Listen.

01:23:10.540 Among the militant secularists

01:23:13.380 are many so-called progressives.

01:23:16.200 But where is the progress?

01:23:19.480 We are told we are living

01:23:20.900 in a post-Christian era.

01:23:23.120 But what has replaced

01:23:24.660 the Judeo-Christian moral system?

01:23:27.740 What is it that can fill

01:23:29.420 the spiritual void

01:23:30.620 in the hearts

01:23:31.300 of the individual person?

01:23:32.840 And what is the system

01:23:35.380 of values

01:23:36.180 that can sustain

01:23:37.280 human social life?

01:23:40.120 The fact is

01:23:41.260 that no secular creed 0.65

01:23:42.820 has emerged

01:23:43.580 capable of performing

01:23:45.080 the role of religion.

01:23:46.600 This is not decay.

01:23:48.780 This is organized destruction.

01:23:51.960 Secularists 0.96

01:23:52.600 and their allies

01:23:53.640 have marshaled

01:23:55.360 all the forces

01:23:56.220 of mass communication,

01:23:57.980 popular culture,

01:23:59.460 the entertainment industry,

01:24:00.840 and academia

01:24:01.800 in an unremitting assault

01:24:03.740 on religion

01:24:04.680 and traditional values.

01:24:07.960 Let me switch subjects.

01:24:09.780 And it's still

01:24:10.700 on self-reliance.

01:24:11.820 One of the things

01:24:12.560 that Mercury One

01:24:13.340 did when we first started

01:24:14.680 was to empower people

01:24:17.100 at the local level.

01:24:18.900 We still,

01:24:19.380 when we raise money,

01:24:20.460 we don't go out there

01:24:21.680 and do it.

01:24:22.060 We found

01:24:22.660 the local churches,

01:24:24.440 the local institutions

01:24:25.560 that are the best

01:24:27.960 at delivering

01:24:29.400 aid to people.

01:24:32.280 We did this

01:24:33.100 with the Nazarene Fund

01:24:34.980 and boy,

01:24:35.400 could we use your help.

01:24:37.400 We asked

01:24:38.200 that you would

01:24:38.980 consider coming

01:24:41.480 to our big gala

01:24:42.800 because this is what

01:24:43.640 pays all the overhead

01:24:44.660 and we have

01:24:46.140 lots of great people

01:24:47.920 going to be there.

01:24:48.480 Chuck Norris

01:24:48.900 is going to be there

01:24:49.460 again this year.

01:24:50.200 Tim Ballard,

01:24:50.900 I will be there.

01:24:53.340 All of the staff

01:24:54.360 from The Blaze

01:24:54.980 will be there.

01:24:55.680 MercuryOne.org

01:24:57.120 M1 Ball.

01:25:00.360 It happens October 26th.

01:25:02.120 That's a week

01:25:02.600 from this coming Saturday.

01:25:03.880 Please join us.

01:25:04.860 MercuryOne.org

01:25:05.800 M1 Ball.

01:25:17.160 Last hour,

01:25:18.120 we talked about

01:25:18.900 the religious

01:25:20.260 underpinnings

01:25:21.180 of being a parent

01:25:23.080 and having the right

01:25:24.420 to teach your kids

01:25:25.300 about things.

01:25:26.040 Next hour,

01:25:27.300 this coming hour,

01:25:28.240 is the scientific approach

01:25:30.040 and it says the same thing.

01:25:31.780 What a surprise.

01:25:32.680 We'll give that

01:25:33.080 coming up in a second.

01:25:34.360 I want to talk to you

01:25:35.040 about relief factor.

01:25:38.260 Altitude really affects me

01:25:39.720 a great deal.

01:25:41.520 If I fly,

01:25:42.800 if I'm up in the mountains

01:25:43.880 or anything,

01:25:44.420 I really,

01:25:45.780 really struggle

01:25:46.180 and that was the case

01:25:47.660 about two years ago.

01:25:48.680 We were going to the ranch

01:25:50.080 which is up in the mountains

01:25:50.920 and I was really

01:25:51.920 not wanting to go

01:25:52.980 because I was like,

01:25:54.980 honey,

01:25:55.240 I can't do this anymore.

01:25:57.300 Well,

01:25:57.640 she forced me to start

01:25:58.660 taking relief factor

01:25:59.620 because I'm stubborn

01:26:00.520 and I did

01:26:01.840 and it's changed my life.

01:26:03.880 It's 100% drug free,

01:26:05.720 created by doctors,

01:26:10.100 It's a trial pack.

01:26:11.000 70% of the people

01:26:12.000 who order it

01:26:16.220 Join me and get your life back.

01:26:19.720 It's relieffactor.com.

01:26:21.260 The number on the screen,

01:26:22.320 relieffactor.com.

01:26:24.440 The fusion of entertainment

01:26:42.140 and enlightenment.

01:26:46.820 So, are we doing more damage

01:26:49.820 to people than helping?

01:26:52.240 I mean,

01:26:54.160 we are just

01:26:56.520 launching in

01:26:57.800 and changing

01:26:59.180 absolutely everything

01:27:01.600 in our society

01:27:02.840 and what a conservative

01:27:04.480 is supposed to do

01:27:05.900 is look at all the things

01:27:08.140 that have happened

01:27:09.040 in the past

01:27:09.680 and say,

01:27:10.380 okay,

01:27:10.800 this one's good,

01:27:12.020 this one's bad,

01:27:13.480 you know,

01:27:13.960 this one we may not know about,

01:27:15.240 we should hold on

01:27:16.080 until we do.

01:27:16.800 That's what a conservative does. 0.98

01:27:18.460 It's a balance

01:27:19.360 to a liberal

01:27:21.260 that says,

01:27:22.180 hey,

01:27:22.380 let's just change everything

01:27:23.820 and in that balance,

01:27:26.700 you find magic happens.

01:27:29.280 When one is out of whack,

01:27:31.560 disaster happens.

01:27:33.060 You either don't change

01:27:34.640 and you should

01:27:35.440 or you change everything

01:27:37.040 and you collapse.

01:27:39.880 We're going to talk about

01:27:40.680 the science

01:27:42.020 that everybody seems

01:27:43.320 to be ignoring

01:27:44.420 in one minute.

01:27:47.040 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:27:52.040 Well,

01:27:52.640 we're a free country,

01:27:53.840 at least until

01:27:55.000 Beto gets in,

01:27:55.980 which I think

01:27:56.360 will be a long time.

01:27:59.300 But when it comes

01:28:00.220 to your sleep quality,

01:28:01.520 you can do

01:28:01.880 whatever you please.

01:28:02.980 If you want to continue,

01:28:04.300 you know,

01:28:05.040 taking down

01:28:05.940 your bowling ball bag

01:28:07.240 every night

01:28:08.360 with a 12-pound

01:28:10.080 bowling ball in it

01:28:11.220 and sleep on it

01:28:12.080 and be my guest.

01:28:13.500 But I think you'd be

01:28:14.380 a lot happier

01:28:15.100 with a MyPillow.

01:28:17.080 MyPillow

01:28:17.520 is not like

01:28:18.500 a bag of rocks

01:28:19.400 or not like

01:28:20.320 this just flat piece

01:28:21.300 of cardboard

01:28:21.900 that so many of us

01:28:22.840 are sleeping on.

01:28:24.260 MyPillow

01:28:26.540 and you fluff it

01:29:21.440 Quillette yet,

01:29:22.340 you need to.

01:29:24.980 Quillette is a

01:29:26.100 place for

01:29:27.260 thinking people.

01:29:28.500 If you don't mind,

01:29:30.180 if you think

01:29:31.660 getting angry

01:29:33.180 at somebody else's

01:29:34.240 opinion

01:29:34.580 is the way to go,

01:29:35.580 don't read Quillette.

01:29:36.480 If you like

01:29:38.120 intellectual stimulation

01:29:39.620 that makes you

01:29:40.600 stretch and think,

01:29:42.180 read Quillette,

01:29:43.020 Quillette.com.

01:29:44.940 Colin Wright

01:29:45.780 has just written

01:29:46.540 an article for

01:29:47.340 Quillette.

01:29:48.540 No one is born 0.93

01:29:49.740 in the wrong body.

01:29:51.220 He's an evolutionary

01:29:52.180 biologist

01:29:53.260 and I'm not sure

01:29:55.380 I understand

01:29:56.100 all of

01:29:56.700 all of his

01:29:57.940 his charts

01:30:00.100 and everything else here,

01:30:01.000 but I think I do

01:30:01.700 and I thought

01:30:02.120 you should hear it too.

01:30:03.320 Colin Wright,

01:30:03.900 welcome to the program.

01:30:05.360 Hey, thanks for having me on.

01:30:06.200 I appreciate it.

01:30:06.920 Yeah, you bet.

01:30:07.780 So tell me your

01:30:08.720 tell me your point,

01:30:10.040 which is heresy

01:30:11.340 today.

01:30:13.300 Yeah, so I think

01:30:14.360 before we get into

01:30:15.560 sort of what the

01:30:16.120 article is about,

01:30:17.740 it's important to

01:30:18.840 really briefly talk about

01:30:19.920 what it's really not about

01:30:21.180 because many have kind of

01:30:22.500 have and continue

01:30:23.460 to paint this

01:30:24.080 as sort of like this

01:30:25.040 anti-trans

01:30:26.180 or transphobic article

01:30:27.300 where we suggest

01:30:28.600 that trans people

01:30:29.360 don't really exist.

01:30:31.080 So this isn't

01:30:31.820 what we're saying at all.

01:30:32.840 We acknowledge

01:30:33.280 gender dysphoria

01:30:34.040 is very real,

01:30:35.160 often debilitating

01:30:36.040 psychological condition

01:30:37.340 and serious cases

01:30:38.780 maybe transitioning

01:30:39.580 one's body

01:30:40.100 to appear

01:30:40.520 as the opposite sex 0.99

01:30:41.500 could probably

01:30:43.060 reduce these symptoms.

01:30:44.140 We don't deny

01:30:44.860 any of that.

01:30:46.320 What we are concerned

01:30:47.500 with, however,

01:30:48.280 though,

01:30:48.500 is that vulnerable

01:30:49.320 children who may be

01:30:50.400 displaying

01:30:50.900 sort of sex

01:30:52.460 atypical mannerisms

01:30:53.820 or personalities,

01:30:54.900 so maybe tomboyish

01:30:56.020 females, 1.00

01:30:57.140 effeminate males,

01:30:57.980 they're being told

01:30:58.640 that they maybe

01:31:00.460 have been born

01:31:01.280 in the wrong body

01:31:02.120 or are trans,

01:31:03.200 whereas in reality

01:31:03.980 these cross-sex

01:31:05.340 stereotypical behaviors

01:31:06.420 is completely normal

01:31:07.340 and is far and away

01:31:08.640 more predictive

01:31:09.220 of later homosexuality 0.73

01:31:10.880 than being trans. 0.80

01:31:11.900 So I guess

01:31:12.640 what we're saying

01:31:13.740 is that we worry

01:31:14.300 that our society

01:31:14.920 is sort of pathologizing

01:31:16.280 gender atypical behavior, 0.83

01:31:18.080 which is contributing

01:31:19.320 to this dramatic rise

01:31:20.500 in adolescent gender dysphoria

01:31:22.040 that we're seeing.

01:31:22.680 So there's a couple

01:31:23.800 of things that come

01:31:24.520 to mind on this

01:31:25.240 and this is the point

01:31:28.120 of when I was introducing you

01:31:29.960 on are we,

01:31:31.760 you know,

01:31:32.120 we're just accepting

01:31:33.080 these things

01:31:33.880 and just throwing them in

01:31:35.740 and are we doing more harm?

01:31:38.640 The way gender dysphoria 1.00

01:31:40.740 is being taught

01:31:42.120 and so widely embraced,

01:31:45.940 I agree with you.

01:31:47.500 I mean,

01:31:47.840 there's all kinds of things

01:31:49.420 that happen with our children,

01:31:50.740 but studies show

01:31:52.440 that what is it,

01:31:53.620 80 or 85% of those

01:31:56.120 who are probably

01:31:58.460 now being told

01:31:59.700 or have gender dysphoria,

01:32:01.660 they grow out of it

01:32:03.360 and either become straight,

01:32:05.040 gay, lesbian, bisexual,

01:32:06.640 but not transgender.

01:32:08.120 So aren't we actually

01:32:09.560 targeting the LG and Bs

01:32:13.940 and leading them into saying,

01:32:17.560 no, you are definitely a T.

01:32:19.680 Isn't that wrong?

01:32:21.840 Yeah.

01:32:22.080 I think it's been

01:32:23.100 sort of described

01:32:24.300 as a sort of new

01:32:26.000 conversion therapy,

01:32:27.420 whereas in the past,

01:32:29.620 you know,

01:32:29.840 we've been against

01:32:31.200 conversion therapy

01:32:32.120 trying to tell,

01:32:33.040 you know,

01:32:33.460 homosexual youth 0.61

01:32:34.340 or even adults

01:32:35.020 that try to convince them

01:32:36.640 out of their

01:32:37.460 same-sex attraction.

01:32:39.540 And now what we appear

01:32:40.480 to be doing

01:32:40.900 is we're conflating

01:32:41.820 gender atypical behavior 1.00

01:32:43.340 with being born

01:32:44.860 potentially in the wrong body.

01:32:47.200 And so instead of just

01:32:49.000 allowing these youth

01:32:50.160 to grow up

01:32:50.820 into what is most likely

01:32:52.880 going to be

01:32:53.320 a homosexual adult, 0.51

01:32:54.720 we're essentially now

01:32:56.140 doing a new form

01:32:58.000 of conversion therapy

01:32:58.920 where we're saying,

01:32:59.720 no, actually,

01:33:00.340 you have these

01:33:00.880 sex-atypical,

01:33:01.980 you know,

01:33:02.500 stereotyped behaviors.

01:33:03.760 you're maybe

01:33:06.140 more likely

01:33:07.040 to be born

01:33:07.540 in the wrong body.

01:33:08.340 So we're converting

01:33:09.780 them,

01:33:10.500 homosexuals,

01:33:11.580 to trans identities

01:33:13.080 instead of

01:33:15.040 out of their

01:33:15.900 homosexual behavior 0.81

01:33:17.400 as we've done

01:33:20.440 in the past.

01:33:20.920 So what's driving

01:33:21.960 this, Colin?

01:33:24.620 You know,

01:33:24.860 that's hard to say.

01:33:25.880 There's been an uptick

01:33:27.220 in sort of

01:33:28.780 gender identity

01:33:30.420 replacing our discussions

01:33:32.040 about biological sex

01:33:33.540 almost across the board.

01:33:35.760 So I've just been

01:33:36.560 noticing this

01:33:37.260 just in the last

01:33:38.400 maybe five years,

01:33:39.300 but just in the last

01:33:40.020 two maybe even

01:33:41.300 more prevalent

01:33:43.640 where I see individuals,

01:33:45.140 these are academics,

01:33:45.900 these are people

01:33:47.220 who have PhDs

01:33:48.540 or are in grad school,

01:33:49.340 and they're sort of,

01:33:52.200 I guess,

01:33:52.840 having this narrative

01:33:53.740 that biological sex 0.98

01:33:55.260 is sort of a spectrum

01:33:56.380 or it's a social construct

01:33:58.380 and that we just need

01:33:59.800 to listen to people

01:34:00.460 what they say

01:34:01.320 about what their

01:34:02.020 biological sex

01:34:02.980 actually is.

01:34:04.140 You know,

01:34:04.380 we see this ideology

01:34:05.400 of people not being,

01:34:08.940 you know,

01:34:09.120 having their sex 0.91

01:34:09.780 described at birth,

01:34:10.880 but they're having

01:34:11.400 their sex assigned

01:34:12.400 at birth.

01:34:13.580 And sort of this

01:34:14.560 conflation just with

01:34:16.200 sex-atypical behaviors

01:34:18.200 with biological sex

01:34:19.340 itself,

01:34:19.920 whereas in reality

01:34:21.120 over 99.98%

01:34:22.960 of all individuals

01:34:24.380 are going to fall

01:34:25.180 unambiguously

01:34:25.860 into one or the other

01:34:27.180 sexes.

01:34:28.660 But this gender 0.99

01:34:29.500 sort of ideology

01:34:30.560 which has many

01:34:31.700 different definitions,

01:34:32.640 sometimes many conflicting,

01:34:33.940 and there's many times

01:34:35.060 the definitions

01:34:35.480 are quite circular,

01:34:36.820 seems to be taking precedence

01:34:38.040 and we're not really,

01:34:39.100 our society is not really

01:34:40.120 prepared for what

01:34:41.080 will actually,

01:34:42.740 what this actually means

01:34:43.820 if we were to replace

01:34:44.720 say biological sex 0.57

01:34:46.360 with this subjective

01:34:49.300 identity in law.

01:34:50.540 We're seeing this

01:34:50.880 in sports,

01:34:51.500 we're seeing this

01:34:51.940 in the prison system,

01:34:53.960 we're seeing this

01:34:54.400 in who's admitted

01:34:55.180 to certain rape shelters,

01:34:57.020 for instance.

01:34:57.560 So the consequences

01:34:58.940 are quite dramatic

01:35:00.140 and we don't seem

01:35:00.700 to be really appreciating

01:35:01.600 that,

01:35:02.220 or at least half of society

01:35:03.380 does not seem

01:35:03.900 to be appreciating it.

01:35:04.640 I was going to say,

01:35:06.140 there's lots of us

01:35:07.180 that appreciate that

01:35:08.180 and are saying,

01:35:09.680 wait, wait, wait.

01:35:10.540 I mean,

01:35:11.420 you're,

01:35:11.820 and what I fear,

01:35:12.960 honestly, Colin,

01:35:13.680 is a backlash

01:35:16.340 because it's starting

01:35:18.280 to affect average people

01:35:20.060 who don't have any hatred

01:35:21.640 or anything else.

01:35:22.880 But, you know,

01:35:23.580 I've got a daughter

01:35:24.480 and she's in volleyball

01:35:26.100 and a guy, you know,

01:35:27.540 comes in volleyball.

01:35:29.000 He's just,

01:35:30.080 he's built differently.

01:35:32.360 And, you know,

01:35:33.260 or if she's a, 0.99

01:35:34.580 you know,

01:35:35.200 a runner in long distance

01:35:37.160 running or whatever

01:35:38.840 and some guy says,

01:35:40.840 I identify as a female.

01:35:43.320 Well, now he can run

01:35:44.900 on the team

01:35:45.480 and you're just,

01:35:46.580 you're hurting women.

01:35:48.840 You're hurting women. 0.99

01:35:51.480 Yeah, we're seeing

01:35:52.400 this conflation.

01:35:53.500 I've usually called it

01:35:54.720 the univariate fallacy

01:35:56.620 and it's basically

01:35:57.840 people will point

01:35:59.140 at any single trait

01:36:00.460 that exists

01:36:01.560 between males and females

01:36:02.740 and they'll show

01:36:03.340 that like,

01:36:03.660 oh, look,

01:36:04.060 there's so much overlap

01:36:05.380 in these traits

01:36:06.100 that, you know,

01:36:07.100 we can't say

01:36:07.700 that any one trait

01:36:08.760 is specifically male

01:36:10.520 or female.

01:36:11.280 So we have, you know,

01:36:11.880 males are on average

01:36:12.940 taller than females 1.00

01:36:13.940 and but then people

01:36:15.540 will say, you know,

01:36:16.500 well, I know some woman 1.00

01:36:17.560 who's a lot taller

01:36:18.760 than most males

01:36:19.980 that I know

01:36:20.580 and so this is evidence

01:36:21.820 that there's no

01:36:22.540 real sex differences.

01:36:24.060 But the thing is

01:36:24.760 that these small differences,

01:36:26.640 these small average differences

01:36:27.620 in many different traits,

01:36:28.600 these often stack up as well.

01:36:30.280 So if you look at

01:36:31.140 sort of a multivariate approach

01:36:32.660 to males and females,

01:36:33.880 we see that males

01:36:34.900 are by and large

01:36:35.880 quite different than females,

01:36:37.540 especially in the realm

01:36:38.440 of athletics.

01:36:39.740 So you commonly hear

01:36:41.380 people say that,

01:36:42.140 you know,

01:36:42.320 males and females

01:36:42.980 come in all shapes

01:36:44.440 and sizes

01:36:45.040 or something like that

01:36:46.540 and that, you know,

01:36:47.100 we shouldn't prohibit

01:36:48.900 any male from competing

01:36:50.380 against females 0.95

01:36:50.920 because, you know,

01:36:51.600 here's an example

01:36:52.660 of a really tall female. 0.96

01:36:54.720 And that's just,

01:36:56.200 frankly,

01:36:56.860 quite absurd

01:36:57.600 because, you know,

01:36:58.640 even though females 0.98

01:36:59.660 come in, quote unquote,

01:37:01.240 all shapes and sizes,

01:37:02.300 it's no random chance

01:37:03.840 that no female 0.99

01:37:05.560 has come in the size

01:37:07.040 and shape

01:37:07.400 that's been able

01:37:07.880 to compete

01:37:08.340 in sort of the NBA

01:37:09.780 or the NFL.

01:37:10.660 And these are leagues

01:37:11.180 that don't actually

01:37:12.340 bar female athletes 1.00

01:37:13.440 from competing.

01:37:14.080 It's just that

01:37:14.620 no individual has ever,

01:37:16.400 no female has ever 0.74

01:37:17.060 been able to compete

01:37:17.800 in these leagues.

01:37:18.960 One quick thing

01:37:19.840 to point out too

01:37:20.520 is that these small differences

01:37:22.240 in just the average trait,

01:37:24.120 say a height or strength,

01:37:25.620 even though there might be

01:37:26.440 a substantial overlap

01:37:27.480 among the general population,

01:37:29.240 when we're talking

01:37:29.780 about things like sports,

01:37:31.500 we're talking about

01:37:32.040 the extreme,

01:37:32.720 the elite of the elite.

01:37:33.940 And when you look

01:37:34.440 at the tail end

01:37:35.360 of these distributions

01:37:36.180 of the elite of the elite,

01:37:38.760 we see that these are

01:37:39.540 way more dominated

01:37:40.760 by males,

01:37:41.740 like proportion-wise.

01:37:43.320 So we can't look

01:37:44.380 at our everyday experience

01:37:45.420 and kind of use this

01:37:46.120 as a metric

01:37:47.640 for how the extremes

01:37:49.360 are going to behave.

01:37:50.900 Tardigall and Wright,

01:37:51.520 he's an evolutionary biologist

01:37:53.240 at Penn State,

01:37:54.080 is a piece in Quillette

01:37:54.860 is no one is born

01:37:56.220 in the wrong body.

01:37:58.380 Colin, I'm curious

01:37:59.700 to your thoughts

01:38:00.480 on being in this community

01:38:01.840 because we hear

01:38:03.060 a lot of the experts

01:38:04.140 who would disagree with you,

01:38:06.400 who would say

01:38:07.040 the exact opposite

01:38:08.140 of everything

01:38:08.580 that you've said so far

01:38:09.620 is when it comes

01:38:10.820 to summarizing these things.

01:38:13.840 Would you say

01:38:14.640 that it is more

01:38:15.320 of a political opposition

01:38:17.700 to what you're saying

01:38:18.640 or is it a scientific one?

01:38:20.100 Is there a large

01:38:21.120 scientific community

01:38:22.240 that actually

01:38:23.100 does not see

01:38:24.980 these things

01:38:26.000 that I think

01:38:26.360 the average person

01:38:27.080 sees as basic

01:38:27.820 human facts of existence?

01:38:30.560 Yeah, so I do see

01:38:31.620 it as being driven

01:38:32.420 largely by politics,

01:38:35.380 at least that's

01:38:35.960 influencing

01:38:36.440 their conclusions.

01:38:38.600 I wouldn't say

01:38:39.520 that this is done

01:38:40.940 intentionally.

01:38:41.840 I don't think

01:38:42.300 these people

01:38:42.820 are being dishonest, 0.85

01:38:44.020 but I think

01:38:44.820 they may be more difficult

01:38:45.800 for them to

01:38:46.600 really spot the fallacies

01:38:47.840 in their own arguments

01:38:48.660 that they're making,

01:38:49.740 such as what

01:38:50.140 I referenced before.

01:38:52.060 Sometimes people

01:38:52.700 will look at

01:38:53.140 a univariate metric

01:38:54.640 of differences

01:38:55.160 between the sections,

01:38:56.080 and that fails

01:38:56.460 to take into account

01:38:58.040 the multiple ways

01:38:59.340 that males and females

01:39:00.160 differ.

01:39:01.280 I've tried to point

01:39:02.080 this out on threads

01:39:03.120 on Twitter

01:39:03.580 and articles

01:39:04.340 that I'm writing,

01:39:05.020 but I haven't seen

01:39:06.380 this actually refuted

01:39:07.820 in any coherent way.

01:39:10.660 And the fallacies

01:39:12.680 pretty much just

01:39:13.520 stand for themselves,

01:39:15.360 and even if we

01:39:15.920 criticize them,

01:39:16.680 they tend not

01:39:17.560 to go away,

01:39:18.380 and the main

01:39:19.240 method they seem

01:39:20.100 to be using

01:39:21.340 to sort of silence

01:39:22.540 voices like mine

01:39:23.360 and others

01:39:23.780 doesn't seem

01:39:24.660 to be actually

01:39:25.480 engaging with

01:39:26.180 our ideas

01:39:27.280 and the content

01:39:27.900 of what we're saying,

01:39:28.840 but it usually

01:39:29.280 is sort of just

01:39:30.880 the, you know,

01:39:31.560 you're a bigot,

01:39:32.180 you're a transphobe, 0.81

01:39:32.960 oh, look,

01:39:33.300 you're publishing

01:39:33.700 in Colette,

01:39:34.340 this is a magazine

01:39:36.120 that's known

01:39:36.720 to publish,

01:39:37.380 you know,

01:39:37.660 race science

01:39:38.460 or, you know,

01:39:38.920 whatever they want

01:39:39.540 to accuse,

01:39:40.800 just sort of a

01:39:41.220 guild by association,

01:39:42.300 they'll point to

01:39:42.860 some problematic figure

01:39:45.000 that might agree

01:39:45.780 with you,

01:39:46.200 and they'll say,

01:39:46.640 like, oh,

01:39:46.920 you also agree

01:39:47.880 with this one person

01:39:48.760 who's, you know,

01:39:50.120 a bad individual,

01:39:51.500 so therefore

01:39:51.980 you are bad too,

01:39:52.980 so largely

01:39:54.500 the silencing tactics

01:39:55.600 that are being used,

01:39:56.240 which is really

01:39:56.680 quite aggravating.

01:39:58.340 So does this make,

01:39:59.280 Colin,

01:39:59.900 your world,

01:40:01.040 I assume you always,

01:40:02.120 you grew up,

01:40:02.840 always wanted

01:40:03.220 to be a scientist,

01:40:04.820 does this make,

01:40:06.880 is science

01:40:08.460 in a golden era

01:40:10.660 or a,

01:40:12.520 or a,

01:40:14.120 you know,

01:40:15.000 not dark ages,

01:40:16.080 but headed towards

01:40:16.980 a seeming dark age

01:40:18.300 where if you're,

01:40:20.140 if you don't agree,

01:40:21.560 you're a heretic. 0.56

01:40:24.220 Yes,

01:40:24.840 I'd hate to sort of

01:40:26.820 lump all of science

01:40:27.760 into this,

01:40:28.360 so there's certain fields

01:40:29.520 that are more plagued

01:40:30.300 by this sort of ideology

01:40:32.120 than others,

01:40:32.820 so I wouldn't,

01:40:33.340 I don't think particle physics

01:40:34.380 is particularly influenced

01:40:35.400 by gender and ideology.

01:40:37.720 But in your,

01:40:38.520 as a biologist,

01:40:39.480 as an evolutionary biologist.

01:40:41.740 Yeah,

01:40:42.220 so I definitely see it

01:40:43.720 among grad students

01:40:44.680 and even faculty

01:40:45.680 and before,

01:40:47.840 because I published

01:40:48.240 another Quillette piece

01:40:49.140 before called

01:40:49.920 The New Evolution Deniers

01:40:50.900 where I mentioned

01:40:51.480 similar types of things

01:40:53.420 and I sent this

01:40:54.780 to mentors of mine,

01:40:56.540 people that I,

01:40:57.140 that I knew

01:40:57.560 sort of agreed with me

01:40:58.540 in my professional circle

01:41:00.020 and the consensus

01:41:01.440 from basically

01:41:02.740 everyone I sent this to

01:41:03.740 was that

01:41:04.180 you're absolutely

01:41:05.340 correct,

01:41:06.280 but you cannot say

01:41:07.620 this,

01:41:07.860 this could be

01:41:08.920 just career suicide,

01:41:10.960 you know,

01:41:11.160 I'm a postdoc right now

01:41:12.280 if I don't actually

01:41:12.820 have a faculty job,

01:41:13.860 I'm applying to faculty jobs

01:41:15.440 but they told that

01:41:16.640 this could be

01:41:17.620 just suicide

01:41:18.280 for my career

01:41:18.940 and I've spent

01:41:19.460 over a decade

01:41:20.100 of going to school

01:41:21.440 and five years

01:41:22.120 in grad school

01:41:22.640 to get my PhD

01:41:23.380 and,

01:41:24.120 you know,

01:41:24.240 this could just be made,

01:41:25.220 you know,

01:41:25.480 nullified overnight

01:41:26.400 if the mob

01:41:27.080 would decide to just,

01:41:28.340 you know,

01:41:28.640 write one big hit article

01:41:29.980 where if someone

01:41:30.560 Googles call and write 0.97

01:41:31.500 this,

01:41:32.220 you know,

01:41:32.400 they just see

01:41:32.960 transphobe,

01:41:33.700 bigot,

01:41:34.080 you know,

01:41:34.420 what have you.

01:41:35.920 So it is definitely

01:41:37.200 an issue

01:41:37.760 within my field.

01:41:39.280 It gets worse,

01:41:40.340 I think,

01:41:40.600 when you go

01:41:41.000 to the psychological

01:41:42.360 sciences,

01:41:44.580 worse when you go

01:41:45.520 to sociology,

01:41:46.980 worse when you go

01:41:47.460 down to women's studies,

01:41:48.660 et cetera,

01:41:49.060 et cetera,

01:41:49.320 but these other fields

01:41:50.700 are definitely

01:41:51.420 influencing

01:41:53.060 my field too

01:41:55.200 and there seems

01:41:56.120 to be a sort of

01:41:56.740 almost an Orwellian

01:41:58.200 thing going on

01:41:58.920 where if we

01:41:59.680 criticize social justice,

01:42:01.800 social justice

01:42:03.100 in their minds,

01:42:03.960 a lot of people

01:42:04.520 sort of equate

01:42:06.800 that with just

01:42:07.540 civil rights.

01:42:08.520 So if you say

01:42:09.080 I'm against

01:42:09.600 this social justice

01:42:10.980 ideology,

01:42:11.500 they are here like,

01:42:12.380 oh,

01:42:12.440 you're against

01:42:12.860 civil rights

01:42:13.580 and so you really

01:42:14.560 can't win.

01:42:15.600 It's almost,

01:42:16.000 you know,

01:42:16.140 you think I disagree

01:42:16.800 with the Department

01:42:19.120 of Truth.

01:42:19.680 It's like,

01:42:19.920 well,

01:42:20.020 you disagree with truth.

01:42:21.280 So there's sort of

01:42:21.880 this language game

01:42:22.600 going on where it's

01:42:23.380 hard to actually

01:42:24.500 engage with ideas

01:42:26.000 without immediately

01:42:26.660 being just painted

01:42:27.380 as a bigot

01:42:28.400 in any way they want

01:42:29.280 to so they can

01:42:29.720 dismiss you. 0.79

01:42:30.860 Quickly,

01:42:31.380 except I've only got

01:42:31.820 a few seconds,

01:42:32.540 but what made you

01:42:33.120 decide just to do it

01:42:34.320 anyway?

01:42:36.860 Mainly because I've

01:42:37.640 always been interested

01:42:38.400 in sort of the

01:42:39.400 larger sort of

01:42:41.400 meta-narrative

01:42:42.300 around science

01:42:43.480 and defending science.

01:42:44.820 I used to defend

01:42:45.380 evolution from

01:42:46.500 the Young Earth

01:42:46.940 creationists back

01:42:47.900 in the mid to

01:42:48.740 late 2000s

01:42:49.640 and I just realized

01:42:50.740 how much I kept

01:42:51.420 sort of self-censoring

01:42:52.400 as I went through

01:42:53.060 graduate school

01:42:53.840 and after.

01:42:55.940 And it got to a point

01:42:56.680 where I realized

01:42:57.240 that I'd much rather

01:42:58.800 live a life

01:42:59.920 where I can speak

01:43:00.760 my mind freely

01:43:01.740 than sort of

01:43:03.180 live sort of

01:43:03.740 this zipper-lipped

01:43:04.620 life as an academic

01:43:05.700 and just go this

01:43:08.320 one route

01:43:08.660 where I can just

01:43:09.160 study my ants

01:43:10.400 and wasps

01:43:10.900 and my narrow field

01:43:12.300 but have to remain

01:43:13.380 silent on everything

01:43:14.180 else.

01:43:14.580 So that wasn't

01:43:15.020 something I was

01:43:16.240 willing to sacrifice

01:43:16.900 I suppose.

01:43:17.600 Good for you.

01:43:18.060 Good for you.

01:43:18.540 Colin Wright,

01:43:19.220 evolutionary biologist.

01:43:20.940 The Quillette piece

01:43:22.240 is called

01:43:30.280 Thank you so much

01:43:30.960 Colin,

01:43:31.260 appreciate it.

01:43:32.320 Oh, thank you.

01:43:33.040 Appreciate it.

01:43:33.360 Thank you.

01:43:33.880 That's a solid

01:43:34.360 Twitter name right there.

01:43:35.360 Yeah, it is.

01:43:35.760 That is a solid one.

01:43:36.660 Yeah, it is.

01:43:39.120 I have a totally

01:43:39.900 different look

01:43:40.800 on the Monday thing.

01:43:43.780 I know most people

01:43:44.700 say thank God

01:43:45.300 for Mondays.

01:43:46.040 I don't.

01:43:47.140 After a long weekend

01:43:48.060 of being home.

01:43:49.520 Wait, who says

01:43:50.100 thank God for Mondays?

01:43:51.640 Oh, is it?

01:43:52.420 That's not the way

01:43:53.140 it works.

01:43:53.380 So I'm not a...

01:43:53.800 No, it's not TGIMs.

01:43:55.440 Oh, really?

01:43:55.800 Because I always

01:43:56.280 thought it was.

01:43:58.740 The dynamic variable

01:44:00.700 lumbar support

01:44:01.740 makes Mondays

01:45:04.640 All right.

01:45:05.540 I'm fascinated

01:45:06.320 by that study

01:45:07.020 that he mentions

01:45:07.820 in the article

01:45:08.460 Colin Wright

01:45:09.460 that 85.2%

01:45:11.900 85.2%

01:45:14.260 of younger people

01:45:16.180 who have

01:45:16.680 childhood onset

01:45:18.600 gender dysphoria

01:45:19.620 basically thinking

01:45:20.700 you're the wrong

01:45:21.200 gender when you're

01:45:21.740 a kid

01:45:22.080 85.2%

01:45:24.300 said

01:45:25.280 that

01:45:26.220 they wound up

01:45:27.220 remitting

01:45:27.780 after puberty.

01:45:29.820 So

01:45:30.080 later on in life

01:45:31.160 they figure

01:45:31.580 they find

01:45:32.120 ah yeah

01:45:32.520 I'm actually

01:45:33.260 fine in my own

01:45:33.840 body.

01:45:34.620 85%

01:45:35.900 the majority

01:45:36.700 of them

01:45:37.040 as you pointed

01:45:37.500 out

01:45:37.760 wind up being

01:45:38.800 LGBTs

01:45:40.020 so we transfer

01:45:40.760 the LGBTs

01:45:41.600 into T's 0.83

01:45:42.240 and the conversion

01:45:43.500 therapy point

01:45:44.600 is a great one

01:45:45.500 I mean because

01:45:46.240 now the thing

01:45:47.540 that they oppose

01:45:48.420 to the extent

01:45:49.700 that they want

01:45:50.220 to make it

01:45:50.540 illegal

01:45:50.980 which

01:45:52.040 you may or

01:45:53.020 may not agree

01:45:53.620 with the idea

01:45:55.740 of conversion

01:45:56.460 therapy

01:45:56.840 but essentially

01:45:57.560 it boils down

01:45:58.360 to free speech

01:45:59.340 right like you

01:46:00.560 should be able

01:46:01.060 to tell somebody

01:46:02.080 that hey I think

01:46:03.120 you shouldn't be

01:46:03.860 gay if you want 0.99

01:46:04.640 to be that person

01:46:05.320 I mean that person

01:46:06.160 might not be

01:46:06.700 popular parties

01:46:07.620 but that person

01:46:08.980 has a right to

01:46:09.820 say whatever

01:46:10.440 they want

01:46:10.820 and the idea

01:46:13.080 that 85%

01:46:14.340 you know it's

01:46:15.080 like this is

01:46:16.740 not something

01:46:17.200 I've seen

01:46:17.680 any material

01:46:19.180 disagreement with

01:46:20.220 which is why

01:46:20.680 I asked them

01:46:21.080 that question

01:46:21.660 about whether

01:46:23.220 it's just

01:46:23.600 political or

01:46:24.200 scientific

01:46:24.500 it does not

01:46:25.540 seem to be

01:46:25.860 that there's

01:46:26.120 much of a

01:46:26.560 scientific stand

01:46:27.740 up against

01:46:28.300 this study

01:46:28.900 in this general

01:46:29.600 idea that most

01:46:30.580 people who

01:46:31.700 think that

01:46:32.560 they're a boy

01:46:33.300 when they're a

01:46:33.860 girl at a

01:46:34.420 young age

01:46:34.900 wind up figuring

01:46:35.900 out later on

01:46:36.540 ah no I was

01:46:37.220 wrong on that

01:46:37.640 one.

01:46:37.840 Well they said

01:46:39.140 that it was

01:46:39.840 0.5% of the

01:46:42.020 population was

01:46:42.980 T and now

01:46:44.720 kids are at

01:46:47.200 2% so it

01:46:50.320 was 0.5%

01:46:52.100 now kids are

01:46:53.580 at 2% and

01:46:55.320 they're wondering

01:46:55.920 you know a

01:46:57.000 first of all

01:46:57.680 autism plays a

01:46:59.420 role in

01:46:59.800 misdiagnosis

01:47:00.640 if there's any

01:47:02.620 kind of if you're

01:47:03.380 on the spectrum

01:47:04.080 at all there

01:47:04.700 could be real

01:47:05.420 misdiagnosis of

01:47:06.760 this.

01:47:07.040 And what

01:47:09.300 happened?

01:47:10.060 Is it just

01:47:10.660 because an

01:47:11.520 8 year old

01:47:12.900 decided that

01:47:13.660 they wanted to

01:47:14.320 be a girl?

01:47:15.100 I mean are

01:47:15.540 there really

01:47:15.940 that many?

01:47:17.160 Really?

01:47:18.400 Well I mean

01:47:18.880 8 year olds

01:47:19.980 think all

01:47:20.780 sorts of

01:47:21.280 different things.

01:47:22.080 I know they

01:47:22.300 do.

01:47:22.320 You know I've

01:47:23.440 got one and

01:47:24.220 he's awesome but

01:47:25.240 you know he

01:47:26.440 does not think

01:47:27.280 he's a girl but

01:47:28.500 everyone thinks

01:47:29.480 different things.

01:47:30.620 You know I mean

01:47:30.860 this is when

01:47:31.320 you're young you

01:47:33.340 come up with

01:47:34.040 ideas that maybe

01:47:34.840 you don't stick

01:47:35.420 by your entire

01:47:36.140 life.

01:47:36.880 Perhaps you've

01:47:37.520 also in your

01:47:38.460 life in your

01:47:38.980 life experience

01:47:39.600 have had different

01:47:40.420 thoughts from when

01:47:41.080 you were 8 as

01:47:41.840 you grew older.

01:47:42.900 Perhaps that's

01:47:43.700 something that

01:47:44.160 you've also

01:47:44.660 experienced.

01:47:45.900 I mean are

01:47:46.280 these tough

01:47:47.200 questions?

01:47:48.900 Apparently in

01:47:49.580 this society

01:47:50.140 yes.

01:47:50.800 I guess so.

01:47:51.240 By the way I'm

01:47:51.620 going to be a

01:47:52.000 teacher in your

01:47:52.560 kid's school just

01:47:53.380 to screw your 0.94

01:47:53.920 kid up.

01:47:54.340 Oh good.

01:47:54.720 I'm moving.

01:47:57.100 Did I tell you

01:47:57.420 that?

01:47:57.540 So here's

01:48:05.760 something really

01:48:07.160 fascinating.

01:48:08.360 A Dutch 1.00

01:48:09.300 central bank.

01:48:10.920 The central

01:48:11.620 bank.

01:48:12.860 Dutch central

01:48:13.560 bank mentioned

01:48:14.540 that gold

01:48:15.060 reserves could

01:48:17.060 be used now to

01:48:18.220 start from

01:48:18.800 scratch in

01:48:20.160 case of a

01:48:20.720 global economic

01:48:21.740 collapse.

01:48:23.060 I read that

01:48:23.820 this week.

01:48:24.760 Wait a central

01:48:25.760 bank is talking

01:48:26.580 about total

01:48:27.960 collapse and

01:48:28.760 that we may

01:48:29.240 have to go

01:48:29.640 back to the

01:48:30.100 gold standard.

01:48:31.040 Who would

01:48:31.720 have thunk

01:48:32.160 that?

01:48:33.160 That's a

01:48:33.680 crazy conspiracy

01:48:35.360 theorist that's

01:48:36.520 running that

01:48:37.060 central bank

01:48:37.820 right there I'll

01:48:38.420 tell you.

01:48:39.460 When the banks

01:48:40.460 are coming out

01:48:41.160 and going yeah

01:48:41.880 this next collapse

01:48:42.940 might be the big

01:48:43.760 one we should

01:48:44.440 maybe think about

01:48:45.340 gold.

01:48:46.460 You might want

01:48:47.480 to think about

01:48:48.120 gold.

01:48:48.700 Again that's the

01:48:49.420 Dutch central bank.

01:48:50.780 Look it up for

01:48:51.280 yourself.

01:48:51.680 Do your own

01:48:52.320 homework but may

01:48:55.000 own homework on

01:49:41.600 this is the glenbeck program welcome i'm so glad that you have joined us today we um we want to

01:50:00.540 talk to you a little bit about um what happened with joe biden over the weekend um looks like

01:50:06.960 looks like his son hunter has come out and and said hey uh you know what um maybe um um maybe i

01:50:15.200 shouldn't be in china i mean if my dad wins if my dad loses i'm definitely gonna be in china making 0.68

01:50:19.980 all kinds of money no you're not because they're gonna fire you well he did step down from this

01:50:23.360 board right yes um so that's a big deal and now there's a big exclusive interview coming i believe

01:50:30.980 tomorrow with hunter biden on talking about all of his stuff you wonder kind of this is an amazing

01:50:38.400 thing right i mean they certainly the you'd think the biden campaign would not want to deal with this

01:50:43.320 but i think they might just want to get out especially especially the day of the um debate

01:50:49.720 i mean whoa which i think about how a bad interview could go for joe biden which i don't understand

01:50:57.520 here glenn you have an opportunity you think to get your stars the stars of your party the

01:51:03.140 democratic presidential candidates up in front of people to have a a nuanced and detailed discussion

01:51:07.880 about the facts and matters of the day and you have an opportunity because people are used to it

01:51:13.420 already with 12 candidates qualifying you could have two six-person debates where each person would

01:51:18.160 have time to actually discuss these things and not give soundbite answers they always complain about

01:51:22.200 that oh you want us to give soundbite answers all the time and instead of that the

01:51:27.240 democrats opt for one night with 12 people on stage so now you're going to get even less time

01:51:35.240 to actually talk i mean these guys are going to have five or six minutes each to discuss all of

01:51:40.920 these issues right why would you do something like that well because nobody would really have time to

01:51:46.420 really have to explain oh i don't know uh hunter biden yeah or uh the scandal or gun control or

01:51:55.380 abortion rights or anything else that they know is really unpopular with american people i know you

01:52:01.380 know we give the media a hard time and rightfully so however they are doing the bidding of the

01:52:09.400 republican party on a daily basis this cnn lgbt equality forum thing they did gave democrats republicans

01:52:18.760 commercials until the end of time on every one of those candidates i mean uh the what the uh times

01:52:26.540 did with asking all 19 candidates do you support these specific gun control proposals and when you

01:52:33.020 find out that all of them support massive quantities of these proposals and some of them things that they

01:52:39.820 used to mock the nra for being alarmist for even doing for even proposing oh they're not going to come

01:52:46.580 for your guns they don't want a national gun registry that's ridiculous now it looks like almost half of

01:52:51.280 the candidates do yeah i know and they even the new york times like wow this has come a long way pretty

01:52:55.840 fast yeah just a few years ago they were against it now they're for it yeah i know it's weird and

01:53:01.980 it's like they took their masks off 30 of democrats in elected democrats voted against bringing back

01:53:09.500 the assault weapons ban only a couple of years ago now every single candidate supports it in fact

01:53:16.560 if you're not for it the new york times says you probably can't be yeah it's a baseline yeah you

01:53:21.540 have to be a democrat i mean every single one does you know of course i don't think it's

01:53:25.720 constitutional and uh i don't think it was constitutional when it was implemented but i don't

01:53:29.380 really don't think it was now after the heller decision which is something that they never talk

01:53:33.480 about because remember when this thing why do you keep talking about the constitution i mean

01:53:38.140 there are things we have to do okay there are just things we have to do that's not how our system

01:53:43.140 works uh unfortunately it does now yeah well that's true that's another reason why you only

01:53:48.740 have a minute a piece you can't get a follow-up question like how do you want to do this legally

01:53:53.660 how are you going to do this legally and they don't it's just like the thing with um biden or

01:53:58.760 excuse me beto when he said uh you know uh do we want to restrict uh churches with their tax

01:54:05.140 exempt status if they just oppose same-sex marriage not even activists on it but they just

01:54:10.340 don't think it's a good idea should we get rid of their taxes and status and he said yeah and it's

01:54:15.680 easy to say that in a form like that because you say yes and the crowd cheers and you say a couple

01:54:20.100 of lines of platitude to move on when you have other candidates if you had a wide spectrum you'd

01:54:24.860 have other candidates pushing back but no one seems to do it no one's really hitting biden on his son

01:54:29.600 hunter right and this is going to be interesting to see tonight on tv if i may give a quick plug you are

01:54:35.940 coming up with some of the questions you want to ask hunter biden in this interview but i don't think

01:54:39.760 any of them oh just it's kind of like um it's like a lottery ticket right okay we don't think our

01:54:45.940 numbers are going to be called no but these are the questions that i think we should we should ask

01:54:51.640 hunter biden they're not going to be asked i mean why if you are joe biden why would you have your son

01:54:57.780 come out on the weekend before the the big debate and have him say yeah i'm gonna quit china

01:55:07.120 i mean they had me at hello but i'm gonna i'm gonna quit china now uh why would you do that

01:55:14.560 right before and then have him speak to abc news yeah why don't we release it release it on the day

01:55:22.120 of the debate that's insane why not wait until after the debate it's very strange and it you know

01:55:26.720 look the biden campaign for for everything that joe biden is and is not you'd think he'd have

01:55:34.460 competent campaign people around him right like this is a guy who was vice president for eight

01:55:38.860 years of this country he's he's the front runner and he does not seem to be able to surround himself

01:55:44.820 with people who can figure out very basic things about how information should be released or what

01:55:49.520 he should be talking about on a particular day or his approach when you have an issue how do you how

01:55:54.100 do you respond to it they seem to be terrible at this and terrible at fundraising like these are

01:56:00.620 the these are the built-in advantages you'd think a guy like biden would have he's he's got he was a

01:56:06.260 freaking vice president he's got all the people around him he's made friends with everybody he was

01:56:10.800 in congress for 791 years you'd think he'd have campaign people who were competent around him and so

01:56:16.700 far that does not seem to be the case well does he have all the hillary people around him 0.99

01:56:20.980 hopefully maybe that's what he did he just hired all the hillary people seriously he's running it

01:56:25.920 like hillary what you were just describing he has all the fundraising capability he has all the

01:56:31.980 connections all of the friends been around forever that's hillary it's true although hillary did raise

01:56:36.560 money i mean she had plenty of money i'll at least give her that joe can't even do that yeah she was

01:56:41.880 she was selling access yeah but you know you think biden's above that i mean that's what this whole

01:56:46.920 scandal's about and let me give you this too when we started we started this a little bit last week

01:56:51.420 and we never got through it okay you are burisma you are a chinese corporation associated with the

01:56:58.100 national government uh you're a bank uh and you are tightly tied to the government and you're just

01:57:03.100 going to hire hunter biden with no experience uh with no obvious reason why he would be hired and

01:57:08.400 he's going to be paid not fifty thousand dollars a month which would be completely ridiculous to pay him

01:57:12.940 but much much more than that i mean it seems like it was more like two hundred thousand dollars a

01:57:17.080 month to do these duties uh all that aside all of his experience aside the guy's just plainly a mess

01:57:25.400 okay and a lot of us are a mess i'm not saying this to to beat the guy up we all have our issues but

01:57:32.480 hunter's got a specific set of issues that would not indicate he should be hired for a high level

01:57:39.080 position anywhere even at like cinnabon okay now i don't know about the high level i would be a little

01:57:46.780 uncomfortable with him just working the counter as well exactly right uh anything that has to do with

01:57:52.660 money i don't think i want this guy i don't know let me just walk you through quickly this is his life

01:57:56.800 history and i'm not making any of this up okay okay he was uh he in when he was young at college he

01:58:03.440 was drinking obviously a lot which is a lot not odd at all in college okay he would occasionally use

01:58:08.940 cocaine once hoping to buy campaign or cocaine he was sold a piece of crack he didn't know how to

01:58:16.140 use the drug but he tried the crack and didn't really get do anything okay but it's young he's he's

01:58:20.360 in he's in college lots of people do crazy things in college remember though that this is a party

01:58:25.040 that held multiple hearings about how much brett kavanaugh drank in college got it okay but they're

01:58:31.360 totally cool with the cocaine and the crack okay now we go on to 2003 he started drinking again

01:58:38.500 uh 2003 he goes with his wife kathleen they go to washington um his wife told him hey get sober

01:58:45.700 and he's decided he was not going to drink for 30 days okay and he didn't drink for 30 days exactly

01:58:50.960 30 days exactly and then on the 31st day every time he would start drinking again he was he was

01:58:56.380 he was proving that he's not an alcoholic an alcoholic couldn't stop for 30 days it sounds

01:59:01.260 exactly like a story you've told me about not drinking during the day yep alcoholics don't

01:59:06.100 drink would drink during the day and i wait till five o'clock every day yep and justifying that it's

01:59:10.160 not you're not an alcoholic then uh on sept that's september this 2003 business trip uh they look up

01:59:16.260 rehabilitation centers and goes into rehab this is the first rehab trip uh after they return he goes into

01:59:21.660 aaa okay so we're in 2003 still it gets rockier though because you're not going to not hire a guy

01:59:27.660 in 2016 because of what he did in 2003 obviously uh however he had a relapse in 2010 so he did go like

01:59:34.440 seven years there good for him which is great seven years he drank three bloody mary's on a flight home

01:59:39.260 uh from uh on a flight to madrid on business less than optimal he he continued to drink in secret for

01:59:46.160 several months he had another relapse in 2013 after he suffered an illness and he was prescribed

01:59:54.140 painkillers in may of 2013 the night before hunter's first weekend of reserve duty he stopped at a bar a

02:00:00.460 few blocks from the white house outside hunter said he bummed a cigarette from two men who told him they

02:00:04.440 were from south africa he felt amped up as he was driving to norfolk and then incredibly exhausted

02:00:09.320 so maybe he had a laced cigarette there in 2013 okay still 2013 this guy's luck with

02:00:16.160 with drugs all sorts of stuff he keeps buying the wrong thing he just wanted a cigarette i know it's

02:00:22.320 so sad so sad a few months later hunter received uh a letter saying that his urinalysis had detected

02:00:27.660 cocaine in his system uh it's a bit of a problem with the military try to get his drinking under control

02:00:32.500 in july 2014 by the way i just want to tell you that this is about the time he gets hired

02:00:36.800 at burisma okay in the middle of all this this is when he's getting hired tries to get his drinking

02:00:41.720 under control in 2014 he went to a clinic in tijuana that tried to cure uh alcoholism with an up

02:00:47.760 a chicken livers with a something with a root of west african shrubs it's illegal in america oh yeah

02:00:54.920 okay yeah sure those work all the time aa fraud right the west african shrub shrub shrub treatment

02:01:01.160 yeah that works now after that he left came back to the united states goes into rehab again this is 2014

02:01:06.380 in arizona uh then he goes on and again this is now he's working at burisma uh he has a trip back

02:01:14.580 to washington he told uh after the funeral uh for his brother beau he tells his wife that he was

02:01:20.220 thinking about running for public office she pointed out that he only recently had been discharged from

02:01:24.380 the navy after testing positive for cocaine they rode the rest of the way home in silence not a healthy

02:01:29.340 relationship per se couple couples therapy hunter and kathleen reached an agreement if hunter started

02:01:33.800 drinking again he would have to move out of the house a day after their 22nd anniversary hunter

02:01:38.940 left a therapy session drank a bottle of vodka and moved out later that month uh he and the burisma 1.00

02:01:46.400 co-founder are in norway on a fishing trip a guy who's been in all this rehab the burisma co-founder

02:01:53.560 drinks with him happens all the time all the time i like to take my alcoholic co-workers out

02:01:59.520 and you guys do this to me all the time you're like hey glenn nothing could work it nothing could

02:02:04.420 hurt this company if you were just drunk no let's take you out for a drink no big deal certainly not

02:02:09.720 something you would do to gain leverage over someone no okay uh 2015 he's in rehab again early 2016 he

02:02:16.320 becomes a shut-in and only leaves to get vodka and uh goes back to rehab again in 2016 this is all

02:02:22.840 when he's working for these big companies they're totally they're only paying him 200 grand a month

02:02:31.820 2016 on his way to rehab he loses his wallet and buys crack why do you hate joe biden to the next

02:03:57.120 in the position of not being able to sleep well at night uh because the pain in her shoulder she

02:04:02.260 always slept on her shoulder the pain in her shoulder was so bad it radiated all the way down to

02:04:06.820 her arms and she couldn't sleep on her back that's when she discovered relief factor she was skeptical at

02:04:12.440 first she had tried a bunch of other pain relievers first none of them had help she decided to give

02:04:17.080 this a try and the result she's sleeping on her side again with little or no pain every single night

02:04:23.280 relief factor reduces the inflammation a major source for pain and it works for 70 of those who take it

02:04:43.640 i uh i want to spend more time on this on uh tomorrow's program but i i want to pass this by

02:05:08.760 you now people are wondering you know how does this work for the democrats how is this going to work with

02:05:13.400 this and teach impeachment thing why do this especially why do this to poor joe well uh first

02:05:19.920 of all they i don't think they actually care about joe biden but they think that he can go around it

02:05:24.920 and we'll see with with the press tomorrow on how they actually talk to hunter biden about all of this

02:05:31.100 i don't think they're going to actually go after him uh at all in fact chuck todd said this weekend he

02:05:36.000 won't tolerate any questions about uh hunter biden because he thinks that he's fine they didn't do

02:05:41.620 anything wrong so they believe that this is just going to weaken trump so much with an impending

02:05:47.280 impeachment now this impeachment if you remember if you were alive during watergate they had all the

02:05:52.600 tables set out all of the impeachment hearings were done in public these are all being done in secrecy

02:05:59.640 so they can control what's leaked and what's seen watergate was in the open again causing more trump

02:06:07.040 fatigue um they they believe that even if this causes and backfires on them somewhat and biden goes out

02:06:17.080 they believe that the trump fatigue will be so high that warren would be elected and what they're

02:06:22.920 planning on doing i think is the impeachment vote will go yes in the house but it's going to happen

02:06:29.940 sometime after the holidays in the spring then it'll go up to a vote for the senate if the senate says we

02:06:35.960 won't take it up then they change the campaign of we need the house the senate and the white house 0.88

02:06:42.960 and they will make the case that they the gop is completely uh corrupt if they do a trial it will

02:06:51.780 help on trump fatigue and they will say because they will vote no the republicans they have to win

02:06:57.660 the house the senate and the white house this is a senate strategy
