You can head to TheBlaze.com for more top stories. I'm Hillary, that is your 4-Minute Buzz,
00:00:04.820
and now here's Glenn and Stu at the start of our show. Good morning.
00:00:07.740
Good morning, Hillary. Thank you for bringing us to the program today. We have Home Title Lock
00:00:12.880
is our sponsor. Here, one of the largest real estate title companies suffered a big breach,
00:00:23.580
It's only three times the population of the United States.
00:00:25.980
Well, it could be more than one document per person.
00:00:27.760
It could be. Anyway, if you think that's a problem, what you really need is Home Title Lock.
00:00:34.720
Home Title Lock is the only people that are actually looking to protect your title.
00:00:40.720
They're the only ones that can do this. They actually stand at the digital gates or the digital
00:00:45.600
vault, and any title that is being changed, like 95% of them have to go in and out of this vault
00:00:52.760
door, and that's where they're positioned. So once you're a client of theirs,
00:00:57.380
anybody trying to change anything on your title, they immediately notify you and say,
00:01:02.280
did you? Are you changing this title? If you say no, they're on it. This is really critical.
00:01:08.780
FBI says this is the fastest growing crime in Manhattan. It's an epidemic,
00:01:12.240
is what they say in Manhattan. Go to HomeTitleLock.com.

00:01:32.900
Since when is the word racist just totally cool to throw around? Totally cool to deem someone a
00:01:42.060
racist without any hesitation? Because I remember a time when calling a president a racist was a bad
00:01:51.580
thing. Now they have officially sanctioned the president in the House for being a racist.
00:02:01.280
Let's back up here just a bit. I think we need to talk about a few things before we go any further.
00:02:11.560
So I'm a big fan of the things that, you know, stand the test of time, things that are so well made,
00:02:20.800
something that is just will always be American and last things that never go out of fashion and last forever.
00:02:29.160
And that's why I want to talk to you about Takovas.
00:02:32.340
Takovas is a company that has seen the, quite honestly, the demise of the Western boot or the cowboy boot
00:02:40.440
to where it has been either just a really crappy knockoff or something so expensive nobody can afford them.
00:02:49.540
So all of these Western boots are handmade by some of the best boot makers with the traditional styles that have outlasted all of the fads.
00:03:00.960
They are built to last using only the best materials, lizard, alligator, ostrich, some of the most exotic leathers, no shortcuts.
00:03:16.520
Or let me say it this way, they're twice the quality of a similarly priced boot.
00:03:26.320
You want something that is the traditional style.
00:03:28.780
You want something that's really, really great.
00:03:42.640
But, you know, even if you err on this or they make a mistake, whatever, you just return it.
00:03:53.360
Ones that you wear out on the ranch or you can wear it with a suit.
00:03:57.020
It's Tecovas, T-E-C-O-V-A-S dot com slash Beck.
00:04:09.940
So the GOP now apparently just is trying to elevate AOC and make her into the face of the party.
00:04:38.980
But I think it's really just a desire to make sure everybody knows who she is and know that the Democratic Party is in mortal combat with people who think like her.
00:04:52.460
She's the she is the the quintessential take the mask off.
00:05:05.220
She and her squad want you to know exactly what they want to do to this country.
00:05:11.740
And what they want to do to this country is abandon the free market, reverse the Constitution, change us fundamentally.
00:05:24.640
Now, I guess the GOP just wants to elevate AOC, and that's the only reason why Donald Trump tweeted.
00:05:50.840
And when I say the truth, meaning the way we the way we feel, you know, the way people were so tired of being told that we are a bad place, that we're bad people, that white people are the problem.
00:06:11.300
If you don't like it, there are about 169 other countries you could go to right now.
00:06:43.680
Because half the people here are clearly racists.
00:06:57.000
But you don't fundamentally change the things you love.
00:07:09.000
I just want to put the nose where the nose belongs.
00:07:30.260
And there's always a problem when somebody says, you know what?
00:07:37.400
That's when you have monsters like Andrew Jackson appear.
00:07:41.040
That's when you have, quite frankly, monsters like FDR who rounded people up, put them in concentration camps, real ones, American citizens.
00:08:09.700
The press is has deemed Donald Trump's statements racist.
00:08:19.600
There is no, as they said, you know, because Donald Trump apparently thinks that some of the things the people in the squad have said were, quote, anti-Semitic or, quote, socialist.
00:08:40.040
You don't want to claim what they're saying about Jews are anti-Semitic?
00:08:49.120
No, you can't say when they say I'm a democratic socialist.
00:08:58.000
They actually said all after they described how he was very racist.
00:09:02.960
They said, by the way, none of the four lawmakers are socialists.
00:09:13.700
Because she's a democratic socialist, which is the difference between vanilla ice cream and chocolate chip ice cream.
00:09:22.800
And by the way, look up what democratic socialists actually want.
00:09:27.740
Don't look at it from a a somebody who is trying to cover it up.
00:09:32.980
Go to the source, to the democratic socialists and look at what they want.
00:09:41.260
Now, Donald Trump is only saying this because the GOP is is is just, quote, wanting to describe these people as socialists.
00:09:53.480
This is why Donald Trump is going to actually gain points from this.
00:10:00.820
And we can we can dance around the edges and go, well, should he have said it?
00:10:09.460
I personally think this president, I don't I just don't believe the guy who was hanging out with Jesse Jackson is a racist.
00:10:21.520
I just don't believe the guy who lived in New York forever and got along with everybody is a racist.
00:10:35.640
Now, you might have a different opinion on that.
00:10:38.480
You can make a case, but neither one of us know if it's true or not.
00:10:52.440
I am so sick and tired of you guys saying everything is bad in America.
00:11:04.040
Because if you don't like everything in America, you don't have to like everything in America.
00:11:08.080
But you're trying to fundamentally transform it.
00:11:16.600
If America cannot see who these people are once the masks come off.
00:11:31.680
When I was at Fox, this is what I said would happen.
00:11:41.360
And I believe I set this up with something along the lines of look out.
00:11:45.500
Because we'll be in trouble when the mask starts to come off.
00:11:48.700
I told you about a year ago that as it would come unraveled, the radicals would start revealing themselves.
00:12:00.120
I think they're dying to tell us what the real agenda is.
00:12:15.860
Donald Trump has brought this to the breaking point.
00:12:26.400
And it's going to be decided in the next year whether or not they become all radicals or the average Democrat still has a party to go to.
00:12:41.180
They're saying that Donald Trump is building unity with Nancy Pelosi and unity against Trump.
00:12:49.860
Well, I have to tell you, I think it works both ways.
00:12:53.220
I think he's also building unity for Trump, for himself.
00:13:00.920
I believe based on their anti-Semitic remarks, they are also anti-Semites.
00:13:06.480
Based on all of their quotes about white people, I believe they are also racists.
00:13:13.020
But I do know they want to destroy the free market.
00:13:16.420
They want to reverse the Bill of Rights and make it into a charter of negative liberties.
00:13:31.540
People are sick of this bizarro world that we're living in.
00:13:35.720
People are sick of this world that the media claims not to see.
00:13:42.120
This world where everything that you think you know or knew.
00:13:50.420
You might have heard this if you're a longtime listener.
00:13:52.880
People are sick of a world where everything they thought was solid is liquid.
00:14:04.260
They took the masks off because they think they're in the majority.
00:14:25.760
They have co-opted the media giants and the new media giants.
00:14:35.040
The majority of Americans know free health care for all illegal aliens is insane.
00:14:43.460
People, people, people know instinctively that you may want more immigrants, less immigrants, whatever, but we need to know who's coming in.
00:14:57.280
The vast majority of people know that the vast majority of people do not dismiss MS-13.
00:15:05.300
They don't look at these as good people or people who have just gone astray.
00:15:13.060
And if they don't, all they have to do is to look at the local headlines of their paper.
00:15:17.740
In L.A. today, 22 people are on trial from MS-13.
00:15:25.800
Kind of the one that stands out is they were beheading people and hacking people to death with machetes.
00:15:34.340
That sounds like something maybe we don't want on the streets of America.
00:15:47.420
I'm going to show you that Democrats are now saying this.
00:15:52.340
I'll also show you that what the president said is is going to resonate with a lot of people.
00:15:59.880
I don't like the way he said it, per se, but I got news for you.
00:16:06.600
He's speaking what millions, millions of Americans are feeling.
00:16:34.160
Actually, not a saddle because saddles really are uncomfortable.
00:16:41.920
They have the dynamic lumbar support, which is right here.
00:16:45.860
And if you can hear, I can let me see if I can adjust it here.
00:16:50.980
That puts it right into the back, right where you want it when you're sitting.
00:16:56.240
And they're great as just kind of kicking back.
00:17:15.820
You can totally feel how it could totally change the way you sit in it.
00:17:30.620
And the biggest selling point of this chair is the DVL, the dynamic lumbar support.
00:17:40.100
So it's hard for me to process it when you say it.
00:17:42.980
Like if I saw it on a commercial or something, then I'd be like, oh, I got to try that out.
00:17:46.360
But since it's you saying it, I kind of just ignore it.
00:17:59.520
You sit back in it now and it's like, it's just, it's perfect.
00:18:03.420
And his adjustment in his chair will be different than mine.
00:18:06.160
And like he just found out, it's really easy to adjust.
00:18:11.520
I can't believe you've been sitting in that chair and you didn't know that.
00:18:19.720
Go to xchairbeck.com, xchairbeck.com or call 844-4X-CHAIR, 844-4X-CHAIR or xchairbeck.com.
00:18:31.800
And if you use the promo code XWHEELS, you're going to get the new upgraded wheels on the
00:18:56.280
So let me give you, let me give you a couple of stories here.
00:19:00.160
Uh, the representative in Congress from Texas, Democrat, Democrat, responded to the threat
00:19:09.940
of a primary from the four female progressive house members known as the squad on Tuesday
00:19:14.580
and accused them of being socialists in disguise.
00:19:28.160
We can look this up and I don't know about the other two, but Ocasio-Cortez is, I mean,
00:19:31.740
she ran her entire campaign as a democratic socialist.
00:19:36.520
If you're part of the justice Democrats, that's what you are.
00:19:40.680
He said they're socialists and they want to impose their vision on Texas.
00:19:45.520
Our vision is very different from what these justice Democrats really want.
00:19:56.420
So you have, you have Democrats now starting to come out.
00:20:01.940
You also have this support for the U S president, Donald Trump increased slightly among Republicans
00:20:08.040
after he lashed out on Twitter over the weekend in a racially charged attack on four minority
00:20:23.420
But just remember this CNN and all of these people, they mean nothing anymore.
00:20:29.860
The thing that means something is social media that has real control, but the television
00:20:37.700
and CNN and MSN, that doesn't mean anything anymore.
00:20:43.040
National survey conducted on Monday and Tuesday after Trump told the lawmakers they should go
00:20:47.080
back and help the totally fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came
00:20:53.060
showed his approval among members of his Republican party rose five percentage points to 72%.
00:20:58.860
Now, I don't think that that is the line that made people go damn right, go back and help the totally
00:21:07.240
broken crime infested places from which you come.
00:21:10.440
I don't think anybody that I know is comfortable with that statement from the president.
00:21:15.760
I think that was a, that was a statement that was just a lash out statement.
00:21:20.760
And I don't know anybody who's comfortable with that.
00:21:23.520
What they are comfortable with is if you don't like it, move.
00:21:30.500
If you don't like it, if you want to fundamentally transform it and you believe that half of this
00:21:38.120
country is racist, well, then there's really no place.
00:21:47.440
That is totally not racist, yet filled with white people.
00:22:01.580
They are all racist, but we should be more like Sweden.
00:22:05.900
If I have time, do I have time to play the CNN video from Anderson Cooper?
00:22:15.060
We're going to have to come back and play it for you after the bottom of the hour.
00:22:22.660
So of the squad, which feels like a punch to my brain every time someone says it, the squad,
00:22:28.640
Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib are members of the Democratic Socialists.
00:22:34.720
Ilhan Omar, to my knowledge, has never said she is, but she's spoken to them and had
00:22:38.720
issued letters of support and statements of support from the DSA.
00:22:46.040
But still, at least two of these people have said themselves they're Democratic Socialists.
00:22:50.080
Let me show you how Republicans are dealing with this against the media next.
00:22:57.940
MyPillow, a good night's sleep, is just around the corner.
00:23:01.460
Now, I will tell you, I think I told you this on air recently because I met Mike Lindell.
00:23:07.040
And he came in to meet with me, et cetera, et cetera.
00:23:14.960
And I said to everybody, because he sent me some pillows and stuff.
00:23:18.000
And I said, I can't tell him I like these pillows.
00:23:23.160
And he sat down and I said, he said, how did you like the pillow?
00:23:36.360
He said, do you have the blue label or the green label or the black label?
00:23:41.960
He said, I think it was the green label you needed.
00:23:45.160
I'm telling you, I don't ever fluff my pillow at night.
00:23:49.720
I never have to kind of sock it back into shape.
00:23:55.480
I went from not liking this pillow to I will travel with this pillow now.
00:24:06.220
We have more on the biggest Obamacare lies as we go into the election.
00:24:15.160
Man, I'm really excited to welcome a brand new sponsor to the show, Tecovus.
00:24:20.160
I know how ridiculous a great pair of boots can cost.
00:24:26.940
They sell their boots directly to the customer, so their boots are half the price of anything that's even similar in quality.
00:24:34.420
They're all handmade with a 200-step process with only the best materials.
00:24:40.100
Their entire line honors the timeless traditional boot styles.
00:24:44.360
No silly stitching or sequins or loud colors or anything else.
00:24:47.600
These are just great boots like my grandfather would have worn.
00:24:51.180
With Tecovus, there's no need to break them in.
00:24:53.740
They arrive already ready to be worn immediately, comfortably.
00:24:57.980
They're easy to order with tremendous customer service.
00:25:00.860
Tecovus always has free shipping and free returns.
00:25:04.220
Check out their boots and their clothing and accessories right now to Tecovus.com slash Beck.
00:25:26.380
I want to go over something that I don't think worked out the way CNN thought it would.
00:25:31.800
They get a bunch of women together, and they're women of different color, and they're GOP voters,
00:25:37.840
and they say, let's play some quotes here from the president and see how racist he is,
00:25:48.760
How many of you don't think what the president said was racist?
00:25:53.300
These eight Republican women from Dallas don't see anything wrong with President Trump telling
00:25:58.040
four Democratic congresswomen to go back where they came from.
00:26:01.940
He was saying that if they hate America so much, because what we're seeing out of them
00:26:10.660
If it's so bad, there's a lot of places they can go.
00:26:20.840
Actually, I think it's just a demonstration of how their ideology spills over,
00:26:32.880
I'm glad that the president said what he said, because all they're doing is they're inciting hatred and division,
00:26:47.480
He does with some of his own comments, his own racist comments.
00:26:54.080
He loves people from Hispanics to black people all across the board.
00:26:57.840
Let me just share with you the definition of racism from the Merriam-Webster dictionary.
00:27:02.520
A belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race.
00:27:12.240
Based on that definition, do you not think what the president has been saying to these guys?
00:27:23.980
But the first black billionaire is endorsing President Trump.
00:27:35.760
By the definition that you are reading from the dictionary of racism.
00:27:49.040
It's interesting because the media is doing something amazing here, which is just saying it's racist.
00:27:54.940
Like, if you're Rachel Maddow and you're analyzing this, it's completely fine for you to come up with the idea that you think his motivation is racism.
00:28:06.220
We're trying to figure out what the news means.
00:28:14.240
He just has a real hatred for the white culture.
00:28:19.680
Remember the days where you couldn't call the president a racist?
00:28:29.660
You're still the guy who starts out every report with Glenn Beck, the man who once called the president a racist.
00:28:37.920
After a broadcast where they surely have called the president a racist.
00:28:42.460
So I guess that makes Nancy Pelosi a racist because she called this president a racist.
00:28:47.780
But the problem is, is that you can have an opinion, but not news people.
00:28:53.520
News people are stating that these are racist statements.
00:28:58.680
And he is a racist for saying that they're not doing what I did.
00:29:09.900
Let's play at least one of the things that led us down that path to make us think, well, there's something wrong here.
00:29:22.620
Because perhaps, well, OK, when he said that his grandmother was a typical white person who had a reaction to black people bred into her.
00:29:36.840
She is a typical white person who, you know, if she sees somebody on the street that she doesn't know, you know, there's a reaction that's been bred into our experiences.
00:29:53.240
So much more racist than anything Donald Trump has tweeted or said in in my to my knowledge.
00:29:59.260
I haven't heard him say anything close to that.
00:30:01.800
That's as racist a pronouncement as I've ever heard from any president.
00:30:06.040
What he's saying is as racist as what he said about crap hole countries.
00:30:14.800
It doesn't matter if there's white people, they're black or brown.
00:30:20.120
Now, I will tell you that there are crap hole countries run by white people.
00:30:24.740
Lots of crap hole countries run by white people.
00:30:28.220
It is the Western ideology that helps pull you out of the crap hole status.
00:30:35.700
It's the Western Judeo Christian society that has brought people out of crap holes as we are going back into a crap hole.
00:30:56.480
It's the loss of the principles that the West is known for.
00:31:05.420
And, you know, there's this idea that the journalists are engaging in, like the tough guy journalist position right now is to say, because some people are saying these were racially tinged comments.
00:31:15.420
And they're like, oh, you have to state the truth.
00:31:20.500
That's what journalists are basically goading each other into on Twitter and other places.
00:31:23.960
And it's like they are acting as if the idea to say, hey, if you don't like it, go back to your country is an exclusively racist comment.
00:31:32.280
And, like, in reality, I can tell you that we have said precisely this exact same thing.
00:31:38.780
I can I remember, Pat, many times about Piers Morgan.
00:31:42.760
Piers Morgan would come in here and say, oh, hey, your stupid constitution allows you to have your own guns.
00:31:54.100
You have a fundamental problem with everything in our constitution.
00:31:58.940
It's a thing about saying that we have principles here and our country stands for something.
00:32:04.060
And if you despise and want to fundamentally transform every aspect of it, perhaps you'd enjoy it somewhere else more.
00:32:10.760
Now, let's let's let's do let's make sure that we state this.
00:32:17.900
When he said go back to where you came from, you can see that as racist.
00:32:25.060
If you are applying, you are applying the motives.
00:32:31.140
You're saying that if he's if he sees somebody that's not white, he doesn't think they're American.
00:32:38.760
And I would say like that's just just that's just bad speak.
00:32:43.120
Isn't the more likely sloppy answer here is that Donald Trump knows these four congresswomen loosely.
00:32:50.400
He's probably heard the well publicized immigration issues that are major with Ilhan Omar and probably wrongly assumed that they were they were all immigrants.
00:33:00.000
Now, look, that is not a good thing for a president to do.
00:33:06.860
And he doesn't have a he sleeps with immigrants.
00:33:16.700
I mean, what do you I mean, how is this possible?
00:33:20.640
When Paul McCartney said, get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged.
00:33:31.140
When when when John Lennon saying you're waving flags of Chairman Mao and no one wants that anyhow.
00:33:48.040
The Beatles knew exactly the same thing that we need to know now.
00:33:53.520
We don't have the Beatles, but neither do they.
00:33:56.420
Have you noticed they don't have the revolution in music and in art?
00:34:07.220
And it was the Beatles that first turned everything around and went, no, no.
00:34:21.060
We just don't have a an iconic soundtrack to to plant the stake at this period of time
00:34:33.200
And when the Beatles said day tripper, one way ticket.
00:35:03.740
I'm curious on your opinion on this because I was, I was, it's a movie about a guy who
00:35:09.000
basically wakes up one day and realizes that no one on earth has ever heard any of the
00:35:15.760
And he's like, they don't know the Beatles even existed.
00:35:18.240
So he can just steal all the songs because he's learned all of them from back in the
00:35:22.440
And they're all huge hits because the Beatles had great songs.
00:35:24.960
So he just starts this career basically built it, building it on all the Beatles songs,
00:35:28.880
but no one else recognizes their Beatles songs.
00:35:30.800
But everybody's blown away every time he sees one.
00:35:33.680
Like, that's one of the greatest things I've ever heard.
00:35:40.400
When I came home, I must have listened to 65 consecutive Eleanor Rigby remakes.
00:35:45.140
Yes, because all I wanted to do was hear that song over and over again, which is my favorite
00:35:53.820
I've been going to Broadway shows with my daughters in tuxedos for a week.
00:35:58.640
Anyway, the thing I think that they missed, and maybe it could be pursued some other time,
00:36:05.680
but I would have liked to seen, like, just even a fast scene with, like, Paul McCartney
00:36:15.280
Yeah, you should watch the movie and see what happens.
00:36:18.720
I mean, I'm not going to give anything away because that would piss people off, but you
00:36:25.720
Also, it increased my appreciation for the Beatles a lot, because when you do listen to
00:36:33.040
those songs, it's like, oh, it really is amazing.
00:36:35.780
I have been listening to the Beatles recently a lot.
00:36:42.500
Because, Pat, you and I are the same generation.
00:36:52.560
And so every time we'd have to play it, and we always heard over and over again, they're
00:37:01.000
I hated the Beatles for a long time because it was just everywhere.
00:37:05.120
You listen to them now, and it's like rediscovering them.
00:37:12.080
You know, if they'd just listen to us, maybe they'd have a career.
00:37:19.960
If you got pain, Relief Factor is the thing that you need to take.
00:37:44.500
But when I'm here, you know, or when I'm at the location, I'm actually able to not have
00:37:53.140
And I don't have any pain today from Relief Factor.
00:37:55.660
Relief Factor has truly helped me live my life.
00:37:59.280
Before, I had super pain on airplanes and high altitudes.
00:38:14.420
I have good days and bad days, but I have far many more good days than bad days with Relief
00:38:34.780
You know, I think I think we kind of stumbled onto something here with talking about the times
00:38:41.920
I sense the end coming and that could be in 10 years, but I don't mean that in a I don't
00:38:53.080
I mean that we're at a pivot point right now and we've seen it before.
00:39:04.200
He's talking about Barry Goldwater and I'm not sure he likes Barry Goldwater an awful lot,
00:39:14.320
Well, if Goldwater ever becomes president, one thing his presence in the White House will
00:39:19.040
do, it will make black people in America have to face up to facts probably for the first
00:39:28.780
This will have a tendency to make the Negro probably for the first time do something to
00:39:33.160
stand on his own feet and solve his own problem instead of putting himself in a position
00:39:37.220
to be misled, misused, exploited by the whites who pose as liberals only for the purpose of
00:39:45.780
So in one sense, Goldwater's coming in will awaken the Negro and will probably awaken the
00:39:51.180
entire world more so than the world has been awakened since Hitler.
00:39:55.440
OK, you know, the last part, you know, might be unfair, but but listen to what he said.
00:40:01.000
He said, he said, if somebody comes in like Barry Goldwater, shakes things up, they're going
00:40:08.400
to have to look and say, you know, these are not my friends.
00:40:17.760
A lot of African-Americans are silently and some not so silently supporting Donald Trump.
00:40:24.900
So this message from the 1960s is is at least relevant.
00:40:32.780
To today, the message that we just were talking about with revolution, you have to remember
00:40:39.680
the Beatles were part of this hippie loving thing.
00:40:43.020
Remember, they were, you know, smoking pot, having incense, going, you know, off to the
00:40:47.660
mountains to find themselves with, you know, gurus, all of these things.
00:40:51.400
They were very at the beginning, they were very much part of the culture, but at the
00:40:57.860
And as we got closer to the 1968, 1969, 1970 era, they were very almost counterculture.
00:41:06.780
They were in the the hippie movement and they kept being asked, will you join the revolution?
00:41:13.600
There was a marker set down because what AOC doesn't have is a music revolution.
00:41:20.360
The hippies back then, they had all the musicians on board.
00:41:33.740
But if you want money for people with minds that hate, all I can tell you, brother, is
00:41:49.700
If you're carrying pictures of Chairman Mao, you ain't going to make it with anyone.
00:41:54.360
Anyhow, don't you know it's going to be all right?
00:42:13.860
Oh, so excited to take our cruise through history.
00:42:24.620
Is it true that we're going to watch the Jim Caviezel movie on this now?
00:42:30.380
It's semi locked in that Jim Caviezel is coming.
00:42:33.500
I mean, Tim Ballard said he's he said he's talked to him and he wants to come.
00:42:42.280
Unfortunately, he's too good of a guy to play along with our pranks.
00:42:45.780
I just want Jesus to walk up on the Temple Mount.
00:42:54.580
We were going to do some harnesses and have him float above the ship at one point.
00:43:03.960
You know, much to my chagrin, at least for just for laughs.
00:43:22.480
I mean, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
00:43:25.300
Tomorrow is the last day you can get the early bird special where you will save 400 bucks off the price of this trip.
00:43:38.880
A Pulitzer Prize winning historian has now named Donald Trump the most racist president of all time.
00:43:54.120
So who is fighting Donald Trump for that coveted crown of the most racist president ever?
00:44:19.780
I know they just they don't get how far out of touch they are.
00:44:25.440
America is not buying into your definition of racism.
00:44:33.800
We all knew what racists were for a very long time.
00:44:47.240
Simply safe is reminding you that just 10 percent of break ins are planned beforehand.
00:44:52.360
Most break ins, 90 percent are all all revolve around one thing.
00:44:58.660
Somebody seeing a house that doesn't have an alarm system or has an alarm system, but doesn't have it engaged.
00:45:04.600
That's when they break into your house 90 percent of the time.
00:45:10.760
Well, you can get an alarm system and you can pay a buttload of money every single month to have it monitored.
00:45:17.520
And the system, you know, is hardwired into your house.
00:45:30.920
You want something that is way forward thinking?
00:45:34.620
How about a system that calls police and has the police arrive three point five times faster than anybody else's alarm system?
00:45:42.920
How about one that is so high tech that it has high definition cameras?
00:45:48.220
So it's not just like a black and white blob that you're looking for.
00:45:51.460
You can see the definition of the people who broke into the house.
00:45:54.760
And that's why police come three point five times faster than any other security system that you can buy.
00:46:01.860
How about you get one that's really inexpensive and only cost you 15 bucks a month to have the 24 seven monitoring?
00:46:17.520
You'll get one hundred dollar value of a free HD security camera when you order free.
00:46:42.880
So let's let's go to a new poll first before we reveal the the most racist president that's that's holding Donald Trump back from being being the most racist president himself ever all time.
00:47:03.020
They are saying these comments are racist like they're saying they're in English, right?
00:47:08.400
Like it's an absolute fact that everyone understands.
00:47:11.380
And anytime you say to anyone that they should go back to another country, that means you're a racist.
00:47:15.540
Despite the fact that, of course, you know, we brought up the example of Piers Morgan that we have maybe occasionally mentioned.
00:47:23.300
Maybe a lot are, you know, the fundamental, you know, concepts of our Constitution so much.
00:47:34.340
I mean, it's just it's and this is the thing I think fundamentally, which what happens with Donald Trump, which is when Donald Trump disagrees with someone, he insults them publicly.
00:47:47.260
Everyone on Earth understands that's what Donald Trump does.
00:47:49.760
When someone says something bad about him, when Justin Amash says something bad about him, he trashes him in public.
00:47:56.880
It's only when like so everyone when the person is white, people just say, well, he's just trashing people.
00:48:05.140
When it's someone who isn't white, they say the motivation is racism.
00:48:08.280
Now, we all know he every time someone disagrees with him, he just comes up with some insult against them.
00:48:14.260
But it's always the motivation of Donald Trump is applied externally from journalists.
00:48:21.260
And they say every time it happens to be a black person or Hispanic person, it must be racism.
00:48:28.940
So, you know, you can certainly make an argument that you think he's motivated by racism.
00:48:35.980
However, a journalist should not be just applying this like you're saying.
00:48:39.300
Donald Trump tweeted something in English yesterday.
00:48:45.080
You are reading his mind as to what you think caused this problem.
00:48:49.340
And that is not something you're supposed to do as a journalist.
00:48:57.940
What's the problem with these tweets if you are if you are in the media?
00:49:02.960
What you're saying is, right, that Donald Trump is saying the comments made, the criticisms made by these four congresswomen are essentially un-American.
00:49:25.140
They're saying, well, you can't say his criticism.
00:49:29.960
Here is how they they do a poll about Donald Trump's tweets.
00:49:35.320
President Trump's tweets calling on four Democratic congresswomen to go back to their original countries instead of criticizing the United States were un-American.
00:49:44.380
Wait, the whole controversy is you're mad at Donald Trump for saying someone else's opinion is un-American.
00:49:50.500
And you poll them asking if Donald Trump's criticisms are un-American.
00:49:55.680
You're doing the exact same thing you're accusing him of.
00:50:01.560
I am so every day I become more and more confident that they're just let them go.
00:50:13.360
I do get when it when it comes down to rewriting history, though, I get a little offended.
00:50:17.420
Well, now you can't say that they're doing that.
00:50:30.920
And he is now saying there's a number there's a tie at number one for the most racist president president in American history.
00:50:38.560
So it's got to be Jackson, Andrew Jackson, you know, the whole, you know, bloody, you know, bloody, bloody tears, you know, veil of or what it was.
00:51:11.800
Johnson said that in a state message that African-Americans were incapable of self-government and relapsed and relapsed into barbarism if they weren't closely supervised.
00:51:23.480
But I don't know if I would put it in hand of bringing back the KKK in the 20th century.
00:51:37.320
Now, one, let's just put this into perspective.
00:51:44.000
I know he was the first president to be impeached.
00:51:51.960
So he might turn out to be a horrible, horrible racist as well.
00:51:58.840
However, put that into the context of of his time.
00:52:04.080
One of the things that all abolitionists had to deal with were people who were on their side.
00:52:16.840
How do we can we can we put them on ships and send them someplace else?
00:52:21.560
Because we've been really bad to them and they're going to kill us.
00:52:29.420
They've never had to do anything other than exactly what they've been told for generations.
00:52:36.780
How are they going to build a society and live in a society when we've torn apart their families?
00:52:46.080
When we've we've we've we've put them in these little communities where they have no control.
00:52:52.500
This might be the most cruel thing you could possibly do.
00:52:56.740
So put it into the context of that's what he was maybe saying.
00:53:03.620
But the actual argument at the time, which maybe he was just going in for and trying to make it.
00:53:13.040
And he was only saying this to reflect what thoughtful people were thinking at the time.
00:53:22.960
Let's just say that he meant it as their inferior.
00:53:30.920
Woodrow Wilson actually actually re segregated the government.
00:53:39.280
You had postmaster generals and people that were working side by side in the government.
00:53:48.480
Woodrow with Woodrow Wilson then re segregated.
00:53:54.460
But there was one office and I don't remember what it was.
00:53:58.460
It might have been in the mail service where he couldn't segregate the blacks and the whites.
00:54:05.200
There was this one guy whose job had to be done in this office with all the other whites.
00:54:20.100
OK, he wanted to make sure that that guy was segregated.
00:54:24.660
And so they built a cage for that employee that he had to stay in all the time.
00:54:36.040
To screen the blackness from the other employees.
00:54:39.360
Also, he said that segregation is not a humiliation, but a benefit and ought to be so regarded by you gentlemen.
00:54:48.980
Now, I think that that's what's remarkable about Wilson and why, you know, like, for example, Wilson didn't wasn't as big a government guy as many people who came after him.
00:55:05.240
Like, we were we were slowly advancing past the racial, you know, horrific mistakes of the past.
00:55:14.400
Let me jam on the brakes, throw the thing in an emergency brake, spin the car around and start driving the opposite direction.
00:55:21.880
He did it and he did it as fast as as, you know, you're watching Mission Impossible when Tom Cruise pulls up the handbrake and he's going 60 miles an hour and he spins around and he's going the other direction at 60 miles an hour.
00:55:38.980
He's responsible for the reinstitution of the Klan of the Klan.
00:55:44.780
The Klan goes away and he's like, yeah, let's bring it back.
00:55:47.540
Brings into the White House, the movie that essentially relaunches the Klan based on his writings, his book.
00:55:55.680
Wilson, to me, blatantly is the most racist president because he broke the mold of the time.
00:56:09.020
Well, he was with the certainly the progressive movement at the time is incredibly racist.
00:56:21.740
But the the the brainiacs, the, you know, the leather patch jacket scientists, scientists, academics.
00:56:30.420
Do you know do you know what origin of the species?
00:56:37.760
And it is the full title of it is a little revealing.
00:56:51.120
I when you talked about it the other day, I searched for it.
00:56:57.700
This is the Charles Darwin book, of course, or the subtitle or or of course, it's a little
00:57:09.820
Or origin of the species by means of natural selection.
00:57:13.920
Or the preservation of favored races in the struggle for life.
00:57:19.980
OK, so now here I just want you to put this into perspective.
00:57:23.240
What the founders were saying and and what people were saying at the time was, look, they
00:57:36.920
And we don't recognize that as as really civilization.
00:57:42.260
I mean, they're living in the jungles and they're they're hunting with spears, blah, blah,
00:57:47.240
So they don't recognize that as at the same level.
00:57:53.820
So they were having this conversation of, all right, so are they fully developed or not?
00:58:01.620
Well, Lincoln and people like John Quincy Adams and yes, Thomas Jefferson, they all said, no,
00:58:13.360
I don't know what's going to happen if we release them now.
00:58:28.200
No, it's scientific proof now that there is a favored species or a favored race.
00:58:39.200
And science is now proving it that there is a superior race.
00:58:45.360
And in origin of the species, basically, he's saying, you know, what you should do is just
00:58:49.940
we have to take the Africans and put them back into Africa, put them back in the oven,
00:58:54.560
let them bake a little longer so they can really become fully human.
00:58:57.760
Because that's where the monkey image comes from.
00:59:09.680
That was the argument by Darwin and so many others.
00:59:13.300
That's what, that's why Woodrow Wilson in his book has all the African Americans look like monkeys.
00:59:19.780
Guys, that's all, that's, that comes from, and, and Donald Trump beats that guy?
00:59:29.640
This, this historian ought to be ashamed of himself.
00:59:35.980
If you wear cowboy boots, or if you've always wanted to wear cowboy boots, you know how expensive
00:59:48.300
The, the cost of custom boots gets crazy, especially here down in Texas.
01:00:01.640
No, but if you get a pair that is made by hand, I mean, they can be 800, 1200, 1500.
01:00:23.940
Takovas boots, Takovas boots makes the traditional style.
01:00:27.680
They never go out of style because this is the traditional American cowboy boot.
01:00:33.800
If you're looking for boots, one that you can wear with a suit or one that you wear under
01:00:38.480
your jeans, which is by the way, a Texas black tie jeans, cowboy boots, white shirt, black
01:00:47.020
If you want to be able to wear them anywhere for anything you do, really, they fit really
01:00:52.540
They are handmade, the hand stitching, 200 steps to make these boots.
01:00:57.500
They are truly high quality all the way along, except they're about half the price of boots
01:01:09.080
They are twice the boot for any boot that is of that price range.
01:01:16.840
It's Takovas, T-E-C-O-V-A-S dot com slash Beck.
01:01:30.020
If you get the wrong size, you can ship them back.
01:01:32.840
That's how they make these boots so affordable is they've cut out the middle mound.
01:02:04.500
I mean, basically, he just mentions in this particular article about it that Johnson also
01:02:10.400
They don't make a case of as to compare it to Wilson or Jackson.
01:02:16.440
Jackson slaughtered the Indians, slaughtered them, went back on a treaty, just took their
01:02:23.600
How could how could Donald Trump be even even anywhere close to that?
01:02:32.840
And it shows this constant obsession with Donald Trump from, you know, people like MSNBC and
01:02:38.680
CNN, you know, it is not even just that they hate the guy.
01:02:42.820
It's that they are so obsessed that he dominates their lives.
01:02:47.500
You know, like that is your Pulitzer Prize winning historian.
01:02:58.080
You can say that you don't like the things he says.
01:03:02.400
Like, I mean, you know, you can make these arguments if you want to make these arguments.
01:03:07.760
You got to make the argument and come up with good evidence on it.
01:03:10.400
But the idea that you would compare him to people who brought back the KKK into the White
01:03:15.940
House, people who slaughtered entire races of people, people who had 200 slaves.
01:03:22.640
People who put an entire race in internment camps during a war in not that long ago.
01:03:32.220
He's even if you take every one of his comments at the worst possible way, the worst possible
01:03:39.340
You're saying, OK, well, he shouldn't have said both sides were equal in Charlottesville.
01:03:45.220
He shouldn't have assumed a couple of Congresswomen were immigrants when they're they're not
01:03:50.760
You know, you could go back to the 80s and find quotes that are pretty nasty.
01:04:00.440
He has made employment and the lives of blacks and Hispanics better in this country than
01:04:15.920
I mean, and go back to remember Donald Trump before he's president, when he's just on
01:04:20.080
The Apprentice, legitimately is one of the most popular white celebrities in America
01:04:26.740
He legit his popularity because of one of the reasons why The Apprentice lasted so long
01:04:37.060
Now, it's like you can easily be tempted to believe that historians today that go on
01:04:41.380
MSNBC just think the most racist president is the most recent Republican president.
01:04:45.920
And that is like they have to to be able to shame African-Americans into not voting.
01:04:52.480
Put your put yourself back on that plantation because you need your liberal overlords.
01:05:02.760
Look, when something happens to your car, don't worry about it.
01:05:07.800
I was driving my car through a hailstorm and Car Shield didn't cover me on this one.
01:05:22.820
There's a lot of stuff that will happen with your car, especially if you have an older car.
01:05:25.940
If you have a car, $5,000, $150,000 miles and you no longer have warranty on it, God help you.
01:05:31.580
Because it looks like everything is made to last about the time the warranty expires.
01:05:36.360
And that can just put you into bankruptcy, practically.
01:05:41.520
It has several times in my life, several times thought, okay, do I buy gas?

Remember when Obamacare was supposed to solve all of our health care problems?
01:06:16.940
We look back at the biggest seven lies of Obamacare.
01:06:28.400
Rebel Media, also the host of the Ezra Levant Show.
01:06:32.120
He's been on the program with us several times.
01:06:35.060
He was involved in another media group, if I'm not mistaken, with a good friend of ours.
01:06:43.300
Anyway, I wanted to have Ezra on because there's a story about this guy named Tommy Robinson.
01:06:51.480
Tommy is a guy who has been a guy who is speaking out about what's happening in England,
01:06:59.040
especially with this sex ring that the government of Great Britain has covered up like nobody's business.
01:07:06.960
When you read about this sex ring, even from sources like the BBC, you see, wow, is this really bad?
01:07:19.240
He's being he's been he's facing jail time for things that he says we are not really crimes.
01:07:28.140
He's asking for asylum here in the United States, wants Donald Trump to to grant him asylum.
01:07:35.160
I've read all kinds of things, even from the blaze.
01:07:37.680
I read something last week that I read and I thought, wow, that's really bad.
01:07:41.240
But that's not what I've heard from other sources.
01:07:45.440
I've tried to get Tommy Robinson on this program because I think we just need to ask questions and then hear it from him.
01:07:52.920
I don't trust any anybody or any source anymore.
01:07:59.140
Now, a guy who's been a very good friend of his for a long time is Ezra Levant.
01:08:03.720
So we thought we would get him on the phone and get his look at who Tommy Robinson is.
01:08:16.980
He's he's not the kind of guy that political pundits like you and me are used to dealing with.
01:08:21.340
He grew up very working class in a poor city called Luton.
01:08:26.820
And when he was young, he was a bit of a soccer hooligan.
01:08:29.980
But over the course of time, he's become, I think, unwillingly at first, a political activist as Luton became Islamified through mass immigration.
01:08:43.260
But I think what really animates him these days is a phenomenon we don't have in Canada or the United States yet, thank God.
01:08:54.560
And this is not like rape as you and I might conceive it.
01:08:58.200
Someone's grabbed into a dark alley, raped, and then the rapist runs off.
01:09:02.980
These are gangs of men who trick and trap and exploit girls as young as 11.
01:09:10.040
And then they rape them every night for years and for years.
01:09:17.640
There's a city called Rotherham in the UK, 250,000 population, small city.
01:09:23.040
1,400 girls, 1,400 girls were raped continuously for a decade before police prosecuted it.
01:09:38.840
Everyone must have known 1,400 girls in a city of 250,000.
01:09:49.160
Because the rapists were overwhelmingly Muslim, Pakistani men, no one wanted to talk about it.
01:09:57.300
They were all afraid they'd be called Islamophobic or racist.
01:10:00.780
So social workers, doctors, police, press, politicians, they all shut up about it because they thought,
01:10:09.300
this rape is pretty bad, but I don't want to be called a racist.
01:10:15.260
If you're first hearing this, this is very well documented, even by sources that would never want to be called Islamophobe.
01:10:23.580
I mean, BBC has even documented this particular case.
01:10:29.580
Well, and that's just one city, cities and towns all across the UK.
01:10:33.880
So fast forward to last May, Tommy was standing outside a courthouse in Leeds where a 29-person gang was on trial for raping girls as young as 11.
01:10:46.900
And I say again, Glenn, and I know this is hard for your listeners to hear, these girls aren't just raped once.
01:10:52.280
They're raped every night by these gangs of men.
01:10:56.820
And in this case, bizarrely, there were two women who were involved.
01:11:09.360
Tommy, who was an independent journalist, he used to work with me before, but then by this point he was independent.
01:11:15.520
He was standing outside the courthouse, live streaming on Facebook, his commentary on this phenomenon.
01:11:22.000
So he was standing outside the court, it was about 8.30 in the morning, and as the accused rapists were going into court, he called out to them and he said this, quote, how do you feel about your verdict today?
01:11:46.180
He filmed himself saying that, and the three or four men he talked to, they swore at him.
01:12:04.060
Okay, so now I saw this, and I was perplexed by it, but it is fair to point out that the English laws are different than the American or Canadian laws.
01:12:16.080
He knew he was breaking a law by doing that, correct?
01:12:19.300
Well, the thing is, he didn't report on any goings-on in the trial.
01:12:27.880
Now, I'll come back to your point in a second, because that's what they said he was in contempt of court.
01:12:42.900
He was talking about the general phenomenon, and he read out the names of some of the 29 accused, and he read it off of the BBC website and other websites just that day.
01:12:55.300
He just – I suppose he assumed if the state broadcaster of the United Kingdom, the BBC, has the names of these 29 accused, and if they're publishing them, he thought he could read them.
01:13:10.220
I'll hurry up my story, Glenn, because I know we're short on time.
01:13:13.040
And so he was put in the back of a paddy wagon, taken to the judge in a trial that lasted less than 10 minutes.
01:13:24.860
He never said a word in this trial, by the way.
01:13:31.820
Obviously, the judge didn't review a 75-minute live stream in 10 minutes.
01:13:36.120
They finished this drumhead trial in 10 minutes because it was almost lunchtime, Glenn.
01:13:44.260
And they sent him to prison for a 13-month sentence.
01:13:51.060
He was the first journalist in nearly a century to be in prison for contempt of court.
01:14:00.520
They sent him to a prison with a high Muslim population.
01:14:06.120
They moved him from a safe prison where he was in a ward by himself to a very dangerous prison called Onley.
01:14:14.080
So the prison governor said – the warden said, well, you know, I hate to do it to you, but for your own safety, we've got to put you in solitary confinement.
01:14:23.060
And so for 10 weeks, he lived in a box for 23 1⁄2 hours a day for contempt of court.
01:14:35.720
The Court of Appeal, throughout this conviction, said it was done improperly for about 10 reasons and freed him from prison.
01:14:44.180
After 10 weeks in solitary confinement, the Court of Appeal said everything about it was improper.
01:14:48.900
But the attorney general prosecuted him a second time, a do-over for the same offense.
01:14:57.260
And last week, they sent him away for nine months, Glenn.
01:15:03.840
But right now, Tommy Robinson is in Belmarsh Prison, the special prison for terrorists and murderers.
01:15:11.920
He's in isolation in Belmarsh Prison, serving a portion of a nine-month trial, a nine-month sentence, for doing what I just said he did, for saying, how do you feel about the verdict today?
01:15:28.840
So, Ezra, is there any way to speak to him from prison?
01:15:41.200
I'm going to visit him on Tuesday, Glenn, and I'll tell him you're interested in talking.
01:15:48.240
And what really bothers me about this is that Facebook now will ban you if you are defending him or, you know, playing anything from him.
01:16:05.880
And I've heard some things from his past, et cetera.
01:16:17.360
Because if he's being wronged, it is incumbent upon all of us to stand up for him.
01:16:24.860
He might be a dicey guy that you're like, well, I don't know.
01:16:28.200
I mean, it's kind of a little way this way and a little way that.
01:16:38.560
He used to have a million followers on Facebook and nearly a million on Twitter so he could respond to the criticisms of him.
01:16:50.180
So it's fallen to his surrogates and his friends.
01:16:53.300
Now, Glenn, if you like, I can address some of the criticisms in that Blaze article.
01:16:58.520
They point out that he has a history going back 15 years of petty crimes and other offenses.
01:17:06.840
For example, when he was 21, he got into a fistfight with an off-duty cop.
01:17:21.000
When 15 years ago, and if you read his autobiography, it was the worst decision of his life, punching that cop.
01:17:29.720
So, yeah, Tommy is a flawed man, obviously, as we all are.
01:17:39.460
And, you know, he's not from the walks of life you and I are from, Glenn.
01:17:44.420
He's very working class, which in the U.K. has a certain meaning.
01:17:50.780
And that's one of the problems, is that the more posh classes of society in the U.K., well, it's not their daughters who are being raped by these grooming gangs.
01:18:00.680
It's the working class indigenous white girls, you know, that no one cares about.
01:18:10.340
And, yeah, that's going to mean he's not a perfect, you know, polished, you know, he doesn't know which fork.
01:18:18.760
You know, I didn't understand this until I started working with my new assistant, who was one of my protectors for a long time.
01:18:29.140
His name is Craig Poole, and he is from Scotland.
01:18:35.280
And people do not understand the class distinction here in America.
01:18:44.620
I tell you what, Ezra, I'd love to do a podcast where we could address all of these things one by one, because there are some other things that need explaining and need answers to, because the case, it goes both ways.
01:19:06.100
If you can line something up with him, I would love to do an extended interview with him where we can go through these.
01:19:13.900
I know the Blaze article, but that wasn't written by me, and I don't approve the articles on the Blaze.
01:19:18.560
I was on the air that day saying, I don't know which way to go on this guy.
01:19:23.100
And the Blaze decided, well, we do, but I don't know if I agree with him.
01:19:28.200
They brought up some good points, but I also think there's some fair points on the other side that I'd like to hear from him.
01:19:38.320
I'm going to see him in prison on Tuesday, and if he has the ability to phone out of prison, I will encourage him to talk to you, because he's his own best advocate.
01:19:47.760
And if not, maybe I can write to him, and he can write answers back, and you can get him to me.
01:19:55.500
Thanks very much, Glenn, for giving me the chance to make these points.
01:20:00.560
I just don't like it when somebody tells me, you can't talk to that person, you can't listen to that person, don't get anywhere near that point of view.
01:20:22.100
But you have a right to hear his voice, and I have a right to hear his voice, and then each of us have a right to make our own decisions.
01:20:30.560
American Financing would like to remind you that it's not too late to buy a home.
01:20:40.020
In fact, it may be the perfect time to buy with interest rates dropping and summer goes on.
01:20:44.800
Sellers are more open to negotiation, and you might even get a better deal.
01:20:52.380
We've had my house up for sale for a while, and this, the market for my house is just really soft.
01:20:59.120
A neighbor, two, three neighbors, just took baths on their house, and I'm not willing to do that.
01:21:07.060
So I'm thinking about refinancing and pouring some of the money back in and updating my house.
01:21:31.060
While you're buying a new home, you're refinancing, you're consolidating your loans, AmericanFinancing.net can help you.
01:21:45.120
American Financing Corporation, NMLS 182334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.
01:21:52.760
All right, so I'm going to tell you a story of baseball.
01:21:59.120
This is one of the greatest stories of baseball I've ever heard, and it has really nothing to do with baseball,
01:22:10.760
except the guy is now the senior director of grounds for the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park.
01:22:22.140
There is a new book, and I will tell you, years ago, I bought the rights to his book and his life story,
01:22:29.320
and we never got around to it, and I felt so bad because I'm like, this story has to be heard.
01:22:34.000
I released the rights and gave them back to him, and the book is one base at a time.
01:22:40.960
It is truly a remarkable, inspirational story about baseball that you have not heard before.
01:22:55.940
That's your 4-Minute Buzz, and now here's Glenn and Stu at the last hour of our show.
01:22:59.760
We have really just a cool, cool interview coming up that you're really going to enjoy coming up in just a second.
01:23:05.540
First, 50 million people miss work due to pain, and people spend anywhere, you know, $1,000 to $3,000, $5,000 every single year to combat their pain.
01:23:16.140
66% believe they're just never going to get out of pain.
01:23:25.500
If you're in pain, I really do feel every day like begging you, please try this.
01:23:30.780
My wife, she had the power of, you know, you're going to try this or I'm not listening to you anymore, and so I tried it.
01:24:06.500
70% of the people who try it go on month after month to order more, as do I.
01:24:24.040
But we are living now in a world where everybody is whining.
01:24:31.000
You're going to hear from a guy here in a second that is the exact opposite of an incredible whiner.
01:24:39.420
And when you hear his story, you will never whine again.
01:24:45.020
Also, I'm not going to tell you up front what he's responsible for.
01:24:49.760
But if you're a sports fan, you have seen his work.
01:24:53.900
And you most likely have gone, wow, that's really cool.
01:24:58.340
I don't want to tell you what he accomplished until the end of his story.
01:25:05.160
It's based on a new book called One Base at a Time, one of baseball's most inspirational stories.
01:25:12.540
It is really, really inspirational and amazing.
01:25:19.200
So I found out earlier today, Stu's never adjusted the back of his chair.
01:25:31.720
Well, I mean, it came and you sat it down in front of me and I sat down.
01:25:34.500
You kept talking about the adjustments, but I was like, it's just comfortable the way I'm sitting in it.
01:25:39.220
And then I said, you know, you can adjust the lumbar here.
01:25:44.480
And I saw Stu look across the table at me like, wait a minute, what are you doing?
01:25:52.560
And it kind of like moves the seat a little bit in and out, which I've never actually seen on a chair in my entire life.
01:26:03.220
He's been raving about this chair, but he had it at factory settings, which is insane.
01:26:13.880
It's got 10 different adjustments and he never adjusted it.
01:26:19.020
Look, I know when Stu's BS at me and he's like, oh, no, it's great.
01:26:23.920
That's usually what I hear about every show from him.
01:26:33.380
And the big selling point is it will adjust specifically to your body.
01:26:38.980
I was initially using my lying voice, but I got over that.
01:26:44.880
No, I mean, it is a comfortable chair, even if it's not adjusted to you.
01:26:48.580
But once you discover, whoa, I can adjust it, it's even better.
01:27:00.860
They have the X chair basic, the X1 through the X4.
01:27:03.660
You can get it in mesh and leather and everything else.
01:27:15.700
Use the promo code XWheels and they'll upgrade the wheels on the bottom of the chair, which are a great upgrade.
01:27:38.240
Used to be the type who thought it was better to just play nice.
01:27:48.060
This is one of the keys in this story is is actually saying things out loud there.
01:28:01.800
David Mellor is the author of the new book, One Base at a Time.
01:28:11.100
We were going to do a book and other things with it because I just find it so inspirational.
01:28:15.100
We never got around to it and I was feeling so guilty.
01:28:24.820
And I now don't get a dime off it, but I want to promote it because it's one of the best stories I've ever heard.
01:28:40.400
I'm sorry it's taken us so long to get to this point.
01:28:42.580
I want you to tell the story and don't jump ahead.
01:28:47.080
I want you to really lay the story out and start with you when you're you're young and you want to be a Major League Baseball pitcher.
01:28:59.220
You know, my dream was to make it to the majors.
01:29:08.600
I played baseball throughout high school and had opportunities to play baseball in college with scholarships.
01:29:15.180
And a month after I got out of high school, I was walking into a McDonald's restaurant and a car pulled in off the side of the sidewalk off the street and stopped.
01:29:30.120
And while they changed drivers, I waited for them.
01:29:33.160
They got back in the car and I motioned for them to go ahead and drive.
01:29:40.900
And so I started walking and I heard them rev their engine and squeal their tires.
01:29:52.140
And I raised my left hand and my left leg in the car hit me, threw me 20 feet in the air.
01:29:59.640
And I slammed into the brick wall right where the door jutted out at McDonald's.
01:30:05.400
And as soon as I looked up, the car was speeding at a higher rate of speed and hit me a second time, pinning the handrail and the car bumper against my knee against the wall.
01:30:19.380
Well, this lady said she stepped on the gas instead of the brake.
01:30:24.860
And she, you know, it was literally one of those moments where, you know, your life flashes in front of your eyes.
01:30:33.180
You know, I thought not only is my leg crushed, I thought my dreams were crushed because, you know, I grew up a Red Sox fanatic.
01:30:40.280
My dream was to make it to the majors and someday stand on Fenway Park's Mount.
01:30:45.460
You know, I thought at the time I would, you know, go to college on a scholarship, study some kind of business in school.
01:30:54.400
I just hoped I would get drafted and make it to the majors.
01:30:57.600
And when I was hit, it literally was a moment that at first I became, you know, a really upset, angry 18-year-old kid.
01:31:11.020
And my dad died when I was three, and my mom and two brothers helped raise me.
01:31:15.260
And they inspired me throughout my life that adversity makes you stronger.
01:31:19.900
And they inspired me to look at that moment as an opportunity, and a learning opportunity inspired me to find a career that I would love to do and not dwell.
01:31:43.820
And this woman didn't pay any price, I would imagine?
01:32:06.760
During physical therapy, had a horrific injury in physical therapy.
01:32:11.320
I've actually had 45 surgeries, and I figure that's better than 46.
01:32:15.960
I've been hit by a car three times, and I figure that's better than four.
01:32:19.760
I think I'm one of the lucky people in the world.
01:32:31.880
Well, the second time was actually at McDonald's.
01:32:46.220
I was working for the Milwaukee Brewers in 1995,
01:32:49.320
and we had just taken all the sod off of the field at County Stadium
01:32:56.820
and graded all the topsoil, and we were waiting for the sod to arrive,
01:33:06.020
and I was out in the left field area near where the left fielder stood,
01:33:11.580
and because of the car accident, I was very hypersensitive to car noises,
01:33:18.540
and I heard this car, and I thought, that's odd.
01:33:23.560
There was a field entrance gate behind the left fielder's position,
01:33:27.320
and when I looked, there was a car coming from behind the bleachers
01:33:31.960
So I ran over to where the warning track met the open field gate
01:33:37.280
and the lady smiled as big as she could and stepped on the gas
01:33:46.720
at the base of the outfield wall pads at the open gate,
01:33:56.540
She was going so fast when she went behind home plate
01:33:59.140
that she made a dust cloud, kind of a rooster's tail,
01:34:02.420
throwing track material 10 rows up into the stands.
01:34:05.840
And a couple of the groundskeepers came over to ask me
01:34:13.160
and behind the bleachers, we had big steel security gates.
01:34:17.380
So I asked them to close those up so she couldn't get away,
01:34:25.400
and instead of following the curve of the grass as she had before,
01:34:34.500
I thought, oh, my gosh, she's literally going to run me over again.
01:34:41.680
and slammed on the brakes and stopped right beside me,
01:34:45.260
sat up in her seat, waved excessively at me, smiling,
01:34:55.720
and drove through the gate behind the bleachers.
01:34:59.500
Before we get into this, please tell me she went to jail.
01:35:09.960
You know, I pulled myself up against the wall pads
01:35:14.060
and she was out of her car screaming at the guard to let her out,
01:35:21.820
and so I went over and took the keys out of her ignition,
01:35:35.100
and when the deputies came, I gave them the keys,
01:35:37.880
and when they unlocked the door, she tried to stab the deputies.
01:35:48.000
She said she was there to do a stunt for a movie,
01:35:51.340
and as a result, they took her to the county mental hospital
01:35:59.380
and on Sunday evening, I received a phone call.
01:36:05.720
otherwise they were going to let her go on Sunday.
01:36:08.380
So when I went to the hospital, mental hospital on Monday,
01:36:27.260
but she had a past history with mental illness.
01:36:36.840
In 1993, she was arrested on international charges
01:36:43.220
and the night before she did this at County Stadium,
01:36:51.020
but Oprah's security staff got a picture of her
01:37:03.560
And she got to pick the date and the time of the test.
01:37:10.140
she'd be able to pass the test in the afternoon.
01:37:14.320
I'm going to take a rest here for just a second
01:37:28.860
It is his story is written in a new book now called
01:37:38.940
if you're anybody who has ever had any problems
01:37:52.820
But we'll continue his story here in just a second,
01:38:05.840
I've been excited since we started talking about it.
