I'm Hillary. That's your four-minute buzz, and now here's Glenn and Stu at the start of the show this morning.
Oh, my gosh, Hillary. Thank you so much. Really so appreciate it. You know, it's a, it's that time to talk to you a little bit about Home Title Lock.
Now, have you secured your home? Pat and Stu and I believe in this so much. Each of us have done this privately.
Just we each went, really? And have done it because we have seen.
how easy it is. They did it to each
of us. And when
they're standing there with your title, you're like,
wait,
hold it.
It's amazingly easy to
steal your home and then borrow against
it and then you lose your
home. It's happening. It's the fastest
growing crime, they say
it's an epidemic in New York
City. Don't let cyber
thieves steal your home. Go

people that can protect it.

It's a free title scan to make sure it hasn't already happened to you.
If you have parents, I would highly recommend that you did this for your parents as well.
It's hometitlelock.com.
It's pennies a day.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenbeck program.
A lot to talk about.
A lot to talk about.
How history is being erased.
And what we need to do about it.
Coming up in one minute.
This is the Glenbeck program.
I don't know if you've seen this,
but the global markets are a little dicey.
looks like, you know, like the world's on fire.
I don't know if anybody else has noticed this,
but it seems like it's getting a little hinky out there.
So here's the thing.
May I suggest that if you have a mortgage that is an adjustable mortgage,
that you get that refinanced right away.
This isn't even really something that, you know,
American financing has asked me to talk about.
I just believe in this so much.
You've got to get that adjustable mortgage down to a fixed interest rate.
Because when this thing spirals apart, you could lose your house so fast
because you won't be able to handle the maximum increase.
Please do that.
If you have credit cards and you have a lot and you're sitting behind the eight ball,
they're charging you double-digit interest rates right now.
refinance your house and roll those into your home.
Then don't go put more stuff on your credit card.
Just get that monkey off of your back.
American finance, you can call them now.
Just by locking in these rates,
you might be able to save a buttload of money every single year
by doing a consolidation loan.
You could save $1,000 a month.
It's pretty remarkable.
American financing,
10-minute phone call is all it's going to take.
10-minute phone call, get the ball rolling at Americanfinancing.net,
800-906 2440.
That's 800-906-2440.

Why do I have to?
I'm sorry, hang on to see.
Who the hell is Fred?
Good?
Hello.
Hi, how are you doing?
It's Fred McAstrap.
This guy again.
I'm so glad you had to be out again.
No, I'm the head of the Republican outreach for the DNC,
and I am really excited to tell you about some of our fabulous candidates.
We've got so many of them, and your audience is just going to love them.
Okay, I don't, I don't think so.
Fred, you were on last week or earlier this week, and, you know, you were pitching,
who was it?
Elizabeth Warren.
I'm talking about Elizabeth Warren.
She's fantastic.
I can understand how we've had some negative feedback from our recommendation of Elizabeth Warren from your audience.
And I am totally with them.
I'm a lifelong Republican myself.
You switched.
You loved her.
Well, yeah, but there were some interesting points that your audience brought up.
And I'm not here to talk about Elizabeth today.
We had a little bit of a backlash from last time.
But I want to tell you about someone who you're really going to love.
Oh, my goodness, you are going to love this candidate today.
Who is it?
His name is Robert Francis O'Rourke.
Now, this guy, first of all, a Texan, a heart.
You want to say Texan.
You look at this guy and you just say, wow.
I mean, how big is that belt buckle?
That's the first thing you think of when you think of Robert Francis O'Rourke.
No, first of all, you're the first Democrat I've ever heard call him anything but Beto,
and he's definitely not a Texan.
I mean, he doesn't have any of the traits of Texas.
I don't understand why people think this.
He's a real misconception
this one glenned up.
Glad you brought it up so we can talk about it,
because your audience is really going to love this guy.
Okay, first of all, it's not Beto.
His name is not Beto.
His name's Bob.
You call him Robert if you want it to be formal about it.
You call Bob.
But he's got all the things Republicans want in a candidate.
Number one, he's white.
And I know that's a huge thing your audience demands in a candidate.
You must have someone who's white.
No, we don't.
That's not true.
It's absolutely, I know what you're saying, and wink, wink, I'm with you on this.
I mean, he lost to Ted Cruz.
Ted Cruz, I mean, you know, Cruz, you know what I'm saying, you could tell what he is, right?
Your audience is going to love this type of analysis, I know, that's why I'm giving it to you.
Okay, so secondly, first of all, he's white, so I know your audience will love him.
Number two, he's a man.
None of these emotions and periods and all this other stuff that's going on with these women, am I right?
Okay, so that's number two.
Number three, he's rich.
He's not one of these poor people.
He's not one of these people who are minimal class.
I want someone who's really super rich.
And number four, your audience is going to really appreciate this one.
He did absolutely nothing for his money.
He's inheriting it.
He's getting it from his wife or whatever.
This is a guy who really is going to connect with your audience.
Have you heard his music yet?
He's a musician, a wonderful musician.
His music is poor.
The whitest music you can possibly imagine.
Beto?
I mean, come on.
This guy, he is about...
Is this part of the reintroduction of Bob Francis?
There was a directive that went out for me to give you a call today.
But this guy, I mean, his music basically makes Barry Meadow look like Jimmy Hendrix.
That's basically where his music lines out.
And here's the big thing, Mr. Beck.
And I'm a huge fan, a lifelong Republican, been listening.
to you for years since you came on the air in 2013.
And I am a huge supporter of yours.
But the problem with Beto is people think he's Hispanic
because people are calling him Beto.
Here's the backstory.
I'm not told anyone this, but I'm going to tell you because I'm a lifelong fan.
Since, what was it, 2016?
No, 2000.
Beto's nickname came not from his El Paso.
upbringing. The nickname came from a country club servant. And this country club's servant
could not say Robert because he was one of these people from wherever those regions are down
there below that border fence that we need. And I'm with you, by the way, we really need that.
But when he was called Beno, Bob Franco Rourke immediately had the worker fired. He had him
deported. He had his family dog executed.
These are the sorts of things that Beto will do for this country.
I mean, Robert will do for this country.
Why did he go with Beto for so long?
Oh, well, that was just a media.
I mean, fake news.
Am I right?
Am I right?
And he's going to be sporting not the green New Deal, but the white New Deal.
So I know your hood wearing Neanderthals in your audience are absolutely going to love him.
Thanks so much for having me on.
I appreciate.
Thank you.
Wonderful, too.
Can we make sure he's not on again, please?
How you doing, Stu?
Good.
I think he offers some good insight, actually.
Pardon me?
It's interesting to hear the perspective of the Democrats and how they're communicating that to the Republicans.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, it was good to hear the reintroduction of Bob Francis.
And I think it's going well.
Yeah.
You know?
I think it is.
People are really, really getting excited about Beto.
Have you ever seen a campaign crash and burn like this?
I mean, he came in as like the number two guy when he announced.
and it's gone from, he was at 14, 15% in some of these polls,
and now he's down to two and three and one.
Yeah.
There's nothing there.
You know, they tried to make him into the RFK.
RFK had real substance.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, I mean, I would vote for RFK today.
Would you?
I mean, I don't think so.
I mean, policy-wise, I'd have lots of problems with him.
But still, if you were a Democrat.
Like his race policy, I know you.
to. Fred? No, I mean, it's, you know, I'd have to go back and really study the policy proposals
I would have to go back and study him too, but. But you'd have to say he's more conservative than,
you know, you know, than 99% or 100% of the Democrats running today. JFK was more conservative
than any of them. You heard Omni Horowitz saying this yesterday, another person running for president
for the Democrats who said, basically, I'm more like JFK. And does he even, will they even allow a
JFK type candidate even on the stage.
No. Even if they, you know, he gets 65,000 donations, they're going to try to find a way to
block him anyway. I think that's going to be a real problem for them. I think, I mean, they are,
they wanted to be the most transparent, the most open, the most diverse. And they are, if they
block him and they start pulling shenanigans, I think they're in real trouble. Now, what does that
mean. The press is going to back them up. But I think they could have some real legal trouble.
Yeah. I mean, I think that's probably true. There's at least that that could be a long road for them.
Yeah. But you look at this field and we have all 23, I think there's 23 candidates now in the race.
If you don't include Ami, which we should. He should be on the board. I mean, you know, people around here just don't respect him like we do.
But Ami, it would be great in the debate. But if you count 23 of them, you look at them, there are some that are running as moderates. They're saying,
like, look, we don't want the Great New Deal.
And this is a big thing going on with Joe Biden right now in that he's in basically an overt fight with Alexandria Ocasio-C-C-C-Gorges about...
They hate...
AOC hates the Old Guard, and the Old Guard hates her.
Yeah.
And she, of course, loves that.
And it's the reason why she's getting lots of money and living in nice apartments and getting all this attention.
But they're talking about her as this kingmaker in the Democratic campaign.
and she's in this fight with Biden about the Green New Deal.
And she's like, well, we, we don't have any, there's no time to compromise on our lives.
It's like that sort of nonsensical talk.
And like, everyone's like, oh, well, what is Alexandria Ocasgo Cortez going to do next?
Well, who cares?
Joe Biden's beating everybody by 30 points.
So here she is.
Let's play the audio of Joe Biden responding to AOC.
Do we have that?
You never heard me say, middle of the road.
I've never been in the middle road on the environment.
And I tell her to check, you know, the statement that I made and looking at my record,
she'll find that nobody has been more consistent about taking it on the environment
and a green revolution than I have.
And so, look, it's a long campaign, and everybody should just calm.
They should calm down a little bit.
I mean, when you could make Joe Biden sound rational, you have pulled a serious magic trick.
I think that's good for him.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, with the Democrats.
I think Democrats, I mean, the numbers are showing it.
The Democrats that are voters in the middle of the country do not want anything to do with the socialists.
It does seem that way.
And you see that, you know, there's a lot of candidates who are now switching.
You know, when this first all started,
everybody was on board with the Green New Deal, right?
You had to be to even get into the campaign.
Lately, though, there's been pushback on that.
You know, I mean, Biden is the highest profile one,
but there's several candidates in this field now
that are saying those types of things.
Even Buttigieg is kind of going down that road
of trying to position himself
as a little bit more of a moderate option.
I gotta tell you, I don't think it'll work
if you've already come out and said these things.
Maybe.
Yeah, I mean, I think people are...
Look, the bottom line is,
If they're going to want a moderate, it's going to be hard to beat Biden, right?
If they want to go down that road, if you think of it as two wings, right?
There's two wings of this primary.
The sort of socialist wing and the, I mean, moderate wing is ridiculous to say when you're talking about Joe Biden.
He's right.
He's not a moderate at all.
He was the most progressive senator in the Senate when he was running for president in 2008.
Or he was one or two.
I can't remember if Obama or him wasn't one or two.
Bottom line, though, here is he's not a moderate.
but for the purposes of this illustration,
you think of them as the moderate candidates.
Well, you have Biden up there,
going for the socialist side of it,
you've got Bernie Sanders and Kamala Harris
and Elizabeth Warren and Gillibrand and O'Rourke and Booker,
and I mean, Castro and somewhat gabbered and Innsley.
And I mean, you could go down this list and find, you know,
17 of the 23 that are going for the socialist side of this.
You've got to think that only one of those is really,
going to be able to move through this primary.
And on the other side with Biden, I guess, you know, probably Klobuchar is in more in the
moderate camp.
You have, and then the other, everyone else is our low, are low, yeah, they're hickenloopers
and stuff.
They just don't have a chance.
So, I mean, you get those, really, it's Biden's to blow.
And Joe Biden is good at blowing, you know, presidential races.
He's done it several times.
He could easily blow this.
So let me, let me go back to AOC.
You know who Charlie Munger is?
Yeah, he was, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's,
Warren Buffett's number two, right?
Yeah. Okay. So he was
doing an interview on Yahoo
Finance. The interviewer hated Donald
Trump and was trying to bait him
and everything else. But
I want you to listen to
a couple of questions. First,
the debt.
The interviewer says, some people say
that there's no problem with debt.
Listen. Well, some people now say
that federal debt is not a problem
at all.
Well, if you believe that, you believe in the tooth, very.
because then we don't have to have any more taxes ever will just print money and live happily ever after.
It obviously won't work.
The people are screaming about it are idiots.
It's going to go away by itself.
Okay, so these are, this is something that AOC is advocating, the new monetary policies.
Yeah, modern monetary theory.
Yeah, modern monetary theory.
Thank you.
And it is, it really is, you don't have to borrow money.
You just print money.
And you borrow it against the future.
Because if you print money, you're going to spend that to create jobs.
And then it'll pay for itself when those jobs start bringing in tax dollars.
It's fantasy land.
It's Keynesian in a way, but in like a I just had 15 Red Bulls sort of way.
Like it is really hyper.
Yeah.
And 25 Jack Daniels.
Yes.
Yeah.
You've got to be a little.
So you're wide awake, but you're like, not not, not, not.
knowledge is really hyper and but I see things really really clearly right now I could be up for days
I got so many out it is and like how it's a new modern theory of money and we can spend it
spin it spin it spin it spin it spin it print print print that's what that's what this is it's a
great point too why bother taxing the rich or anybody else if you could just print it just why
why just turn the tax thing off completely because we've always known that it doesn't
work. Now here he is on
Elizabeth Warren and
AOC. Listen to this. They're kind of likable.
I particularly kind of like Elizabeth Warren.
She's got a manner that appeals to me.
Really? But I don't agree with her
attitude.
I don't think she's studied
Adam Smith enough.
And what about AOC? Do you have any
a take on her?
I don't think she knows
who Adam Smith was.
Oh, man. That's pretty solid.
Oh, man.
And there's, you know, it's funny, there were reports initially that early at her years at, was it Boston University?
That she loved Adamsville.
Yeah, that she was actually a conservative.
And by the way, Elizabeth Warren was a Republican for a good chunk of her life.
People don't remember that either.
No, she was also running a casino.
Well, yeah, she's so deeply with her Native American roots.
That's a good point.
You know, what are you going to say about that?
that. All right, back in just one minute. I want to tell you about this new cruise that we have put
together. It is a cruise through history. This thing is going to sell out quickly. I mean,
I cannot believe the numbers of people that have already signed up. We've only been talking about it
for like three days. And this is a cruise of the Mediterranean. We start, I think, in Venice and Croatia.
We go to where Kings Landing, if you watch Game of Thrones, the one that was in this episode.
Oh, the one.
Beautiful one behind the castle gates or the city gates?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's Croatia.
That's where we're, that's where we'll be going.
Oh, that's going to be amazing.
Oh, it's amazing.
And then we go.
Any dragons there if we get, when we go?
No, hopefully not.
And then we go to Athens, then to Jerusalem or to, to,
Israel. Bill O'Reilly is going to be on this cruise, Stu's going to be on this cruise, David
Barton is going to be on this cruise. I've asked Rabbi Lappin to join us. And the reason why I put
this team together is they're all about history. And so I thought this would be a great thing where
if you wanted to, you don't have to listen to any of this, but they've got a big theater in the ship
and we'll do, you know, a few history lessons about the Enlightenment and the Renaissance.
So you see the free market and what happens when man is allowed to think and to dream,
then the Republic with Athens, and our faith and the roots of our faith as we go to Jerusalem.
So I thought it would be a really great way to just have a great time, eat a love,
lot of Italian food on this cruise. It's a beautiful, beautiful ship. And it happens next spring.
Bring your family if you can. Just come, you and your spouse, and join us. Just go to
come sailaway.com. Come sailaway.com. Again, I'll be there. Bill O'Reilly will be there. And all of your
favorites, and stew, at come sailaway.com. That's come sailaway.com. 10 seconds, station ID.
You know, I want to go to Rashida Talib, blaming racist idiots for criticizing her Holocaust remarks.
She was on with Seth Myers.
Listen to this.
Some have criticized the use of a calming feeling.
You have said it was taken out of context.
I want to give you a chance to provide some context.
Yeah.
You know, so for folks that don't know, no, no, don't know.
I mean, my grandmother, my living grandmother, my mom's mom lives in the West Bank and the Occupy Territories of Palestine.
And what's incredibly, you know, the tragedy of the Holocaust.
I mean, the reason why Israel was created was to create a safe haven for Jews around the world.
And there is something, like, in many ways beautiful about that my ancestors, many had died
or had to give up their livelihood, their human dignity to provide a safe haven for Jews in our
world.
And that is something I wanted to recognize and kind of honor in some sort of way.
But I also think it's important because I want Palestinian people also to find some sort of, you know,
light in this kind of what's happening, but also, you know, in the end, I said, I want all of us
to feel safe. All of us deserve human dignity, no matter our backgrounds, no matter ethnicity, no matter
even our political opinions, we all need to deserve that kind of equality and justice.
And, you know, for me, I wanted to uplift that and bring that to light. And it was unfortunate.
You know, I got a text message from a friend who's like, hey, next time, you know, really clarify,
maybe talk like a fourth grader because maybe the racist idiots would understand you better.
So it's just, you know,
It's everyone else's fault again.
You know what's truly amazing about this is she says she wants people to feel safe.
And she wants some justice out of this.
Well, when you lose two wars and both times, the Jews said,
hey, Arabs do not go away.
We'll protect you.
We're in this together.
More in just a second.
Back.
All right.
I want to tell you a little bit about Goldline.
Goldline has the new or very, very old $5 Liberty Coin.
This is a real piece of history.
This is from 1881.
There's four of them here in this case.
And it's a piece of history for a reason.
1881, these were printed at the mother of all of our mince in Philadelphia,
all the way out to the granite lady in San Francisco.
But this was a $5 gold piece.
It ain't worth $5 anymore.
That shows the inflation rate.
But what I love about these is these were the coins that people were allowed to keep.
These survived the Fed gathering up all of the gold coins.
If you had something from the 1800s, you could keep it.
These coins survived.
the last gold confiscation.
I believe they will survive
any time, any kind of takeover
the next time, God forbid.
These are the coins
that I own. You can get them
right now.
A special price at goldline.com.
That's goldline.com. 866
Goldline.
Welcome to the program. I'm so glad that you have
joined us.
It is Wednesday today, right?
It is Wednesday. Yes. I have,
I'm leaving on vacation.
tomorrow after the show. We've got a really special show lined up for you tomorrow. Some really
great interviews. By the way, we have great interviews today. Gad Sad is joining us live in just a little
while. On anti-Semitism, which is going to be really, he's really interesting on that. Yeah, he's really
interesting. He has an incredible story. He is the godfather of the intellectual dark web. Before there was an
intellectual dark web, there was Gad sad. In fact, Gad is the guy that
Peterson called Jordan Peterson called and said how do I do this what do I mean I got to stand up how do I do it
Gad Gads the guy who guided him through all of it this was after I took the initiative and
creatively internet is that what you're speaking in Glenn so it's really not but thank you Al Gore
and Pat Gray for joining us here we were just talking about AOC and AOC and
and and also Rashida Talib and the nonsense that they are spewing,
the history changing that they're doing.
Yeah.
The spin on it that her grandmother,
who lived in the West Bank,
gave up her homeland to somehow protect the Jews from the Holocaust.
What a lie that is.
The Jews went around with a truck and loudspeakers and told the Palestinians,
stay in your home.
We will protect you.
We will protect you.
Do not join.
to join the Arab world.
Now, when the war broke out, because when the partition happened in 1947, the UN granted
Israel their state, and they granted the Palestinians their state.
People forget that, or they don't know that part of history because it's never talked about.
And the Jews gave the state back.
Yeah.
They gave the first war, they gave it back.
And in 1948, when all the Arab nations got together with Palestinians,
and attacked Israel.
Then, when the war started, some, you know, some of the Jewish commanders were like, okay, get them all out of here.
And then others were like, no, we will protect you.
Even then some of them were telling them, stay, if you want.
Stay.
Right.
And here's the amazing thing is when she says, you know, a lot of Palestinians died to give their homeland.
No.
No.
They died because they were on the wrong side against Israel.
And the Palestinian leadership was actually in league with Hitler during the Holocaust.
You know, but other than that.
It's madness to try to spin that.
Other than that, she's exactly right.
I just gave a speech last night.
And I didn't realize that in this, in the room that I gave the speech was there was a Holocaust survivor.
And I was talking about how the Palestinians, the Grand Mufti, actually had gone over a meet with Hitler and had come back with blueprints of Auschwitz.
He wanted to build Auschwitz all over the Middle East to liquidate all of the Jews in the Middle East.
And I started talking about how you've got to stand up when it's easy because this is not.
the time to stand up is when
And right now it's easy
compared to what it will be.
It gets hard.
You're not going to stand up.
If you're not standing up now,
you're not going to stand up
and suddenly become righteous.
You're just not going to.
And this survivor,
this Holocaust survivor,
was in the crowd.
People kept looking at her as I was speaking.
And she kept shaking her head like,
yep,
that's how it happened.
That's how it happened.
Wow.
I mean,
it was really,
Pretty powerful.
We're there.
Yeah.
We are now, I mean, did you see the thing with Bernie Sanders, new campaign manager?
I don't think so.
Listen to this.
You want to know who's controlling the DNC.
Remember, the DNC.
Well, it's AOC, right?
Alexander Ocasio-C is controlling the DOC.
Well, she is.
Remember, who did they want to have as the head of the DNC?
And their donors pushed back so much.
think Minnesota
is it yeah
Keith Ellison
yeah he was yeah
Keith Ellison was going to be the guy
and only because of that Me Too movement
did that not happen really
right because he wasn't that around the time
when he was accused of
yes but it was also because
some of the big Jewish donors were like
uh hello yeah
so that's who is
you know I think he's the number two guy
in the DNC
now
Faij Shakir
is the new campaign manager for Bernie Sanders.
He was the vice president for communications
of the Center for American Progress.
He was the liaison of the Center of American Progress
for Barack Obama.
Now remember, think how radical they are.
He then left to even a more radical group.
He was the founder and editor-in-chief of Think Progress.
then he became the senior advisor to Harry Reid
and the senior advisor to Nancy Pelosi
then the national political director of the ACLU
now here's his background
he's a Muslim
and he was the member of the Harvard Islamic Society
affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood
and the Muslim Students Association
in the United States and Canada
while he was at Harvard
he co-chaired the fundraisers for the Holy Land Foundation.
Hmm.
Does that sound familiar to any?
Yeah.
Unindicted co-conspirator.
And the, what was the?
I think the Holy Land were the, they were the, that was the indicted.
They were.
Oh, yeah, they were.
Holy Land.
Yeah.
It was care that was the unindicted co-conspirator.
Okay.
He co-authored Fear, Inc., which claims that Islamophobia is the product of a Jewish
conspiracy.
He has written positively about the Tunisian Muslim Brotherhood Islamist named Rashid Ganachi, I think his name is,
whose one of his quotes is, there are no civilians in Israel, the population male, female, and children, the population of Israel,
they are the Army Reserve soldiers and thus can be killed.
That's who's running Bernie Sanders campaign.
Socialists and Islamists are working together for the destruction of the free market in the Western world and Israel.
Exactly what I laid out on the last chalkboard I did at Fox for the last year that you were mocked for.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Wow.
That's, I mean, that's who we're dealing with.
And then you look at the abortion stuff that's going on and how extreme.
they're becoming on abortion.
I'm really happy to see some of the pushback from some of these states.
I don't think it's going to go anywhere.
May go to the Supreme Court, but I don't count the Supreme Court.
That's what Alabama is trying to force.
They know that their new law, which essentially is almost a total ban on abortion at any stage.
So you can't get an abortion for any reason other than the mother's life in danger.
Right.
And that passed 25 to 6.
in the Alabama Senate.
So the pro-life governor, her signature is all that stands between Alabama and this new abortion ban.
So they know that it's going to be challenged.
They know that it's conflicting with Roe v. Wade.
And so then it would go to the U.S. Supreme Court, which they're trying to, they're trying to get that.
Let's do that.
Let's have that battle now.
It's gotten so extreme when you're talking about allowing babies born alive to die or killing them after they've.
been born alive, something has to happen.
And I think that's kicked to pull life people into gear.
I would hope that because the left, while I know what you just said is true, the left continues
to deny that that's what it is.
So I say we leave the baby in the womb in our arguments because it's so easy for them
to discredit and say, nobody wants that.
That was just the governor of Virginia.
Leave the baby in the womb five minutes before birth where they can still kill them.
That's a baby.
In five minutes, it's out.
Yeah.
And it's fully viable.
It's fully grown.
That's a baby.
You're still cool with killing it five minutes before it's birth?
Well, you're saying it's alive.
It's what you call a life, right?
It's like this heartbeat bill.
Can't say its name yet.
Yeah.
No.
So.
Well, a lot of people do.
I mean, we definitely had a name for our baby.
Yeah, we did too.
Yeah, but the baby couldn't say it.
That baby couldn't say it.
That's right.
Until that baby can speak, we could kill it.
Right.
I just love how you guys are calling this a heartbeat bill.
And it's like, you know, what you guys call heartbeat.
It's a, it could be a drum.
Yeah, you don't know.
You don't know.
It could be, you know, uh, could be, you know, uh, could be, you know, uh, could be, you
medium music.
A metronome.
Maybe you're giving birth to a metronome.
Right.
We don't know.
Let me tell you something.
I mean this sincerely.
you don't know because the media just, just the pro-life media just, you don't, where do you think the Blue Man group comes from?
They're birthed as a group by women all the time.
So when you have that heartbeat, no.
Those guys aren't human.
They're in there as a troupe.
Just a drumbeat.
Just drumming.
And this sounds funny, right?
To say that you wouldn't call it a heartbeat, right?
Let me read this to you from the Washington Post today on their coverage of the heartbeat bill.
16 states have passed or are working to pass bans on abortion after a doctor can detect what they call, quote, a fetal heartbeat in the womb, end quote.
Oh my gosh.
What do they call?
How can you spin?
What the hell else?
Would it be a metronome?
What are you thinking that thing is?
In the article, what they call a fetal heartbeat in the womb?
Wow.
This is like they are in straight out scientific denial here.
When we put an ultrasound on a woman and you do not hear that sound, they declare the baby dead.
So what else could it possibly be?
And how can something die that isn't alive?
That I'm a little confused on as well.
You know what's interesting, though, is that Alabama is trying to force this issue to go to the Supreme Court.
I'm not sure that's even a good idea right now because I'm really.
convinced the Supreme Court doesn't overturned.
No, John Roberts and Cabinac both.
I don't have any confidence they would do that.
Kavanaugh, at least there's a chance because it's early.
There's a chance.
There's no freaking way.
John Roberts, who was so, who treated Obamacare with such reverence that he didn't want to
overturn it before he had even been implemented.
When it was clearly unconstitutional.
He's going to overturn a 40-some-odd-year president?
There's no, there's 50.
There's no way he's going to do that.
Here's the problem.
We have turned the Supreme Court into a legislative body.
Yep.
And that's not what it's for.
No.
We didn't hire these people.
We didn't vote for these people.
They are not supposed to be a legislative body.
Either direction.
They're not supposed to be voting with the conservatives because that's the way the
conservatives want it.
They're supposed to be ruling on the Constitution.
And it's supposed to be emotionless.
it is supposed to be based in law, not horse trading.
It's not even supposed to be based in precedent.
No.
Which they use all the time.
Right.
That was a progressive thing.
You don't do it on precedence.
It is a fever dream of the left that they're going to overturn Rovers's way with the Supreme Court.
I hate to disappoint people.
But I mean, Kavanaugh, I don't think is.
But I will tell you this.
I like the fact that people and states are taking a stand.
I love that.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
I mean, it's, it has to happen.
You have to exercise that.
muscle of courage because times great and terrible times are coming they are yeah we are living
in biblical times and um and everything that we always read as kids i'm 55 you read stuff as kids
and you're like okay that's not going to happen in my lifetime it's all happening it's all
happening exactly as described uh and if we don't
exercise the muscle of courage now.
If you're not protecting voices, if you're not protecting rights,
if you're not standing up for people you disagree with,
but their rights are going away, your rights will be lost.
And when you speak out, it'll be too late.
You must exercise that muscle now.
Thanks, Pat.
All right.
Let me tell you a little bit about life.
Lock.
According to a recent study...
Oh, we should point out, quickly, before you get into LifeLock, Pat Gray, is going to be
on this program on Friday, and Bill O'Reilly will be joining him as well.
So that's going to be a really good show.
Don't, don't miss it.
Does that have to do with LifeLock?
I just said, before you start the LifeLock commercial, you already started it.
I know, but before you get into it fully, all you did was say this is brought to you
by LifeLock.
That's why I thought it was a good time to get it because I didn't want to miss it.
It's a really bad time.
Thank you.
No, I thought it was a great time because people who listen to Pat and Joy Pat would
want to know that on Friday he's going to be hosting the show solo and
and I'm going to be joined by Bill O'Reilly in hour two.
I think it's a big deal.
I am not taking you on that cruise.
Well, I'm already booked for the cruise.
Well, I can cancel that.
You cannot.
It's not your...
Absolutely.
You don't run the cruise company.
You don't think I can make that happen?
No, I don't.
Oh, I can make that.
You are Klinghoffer.
You are, you're going to, I'm going to strap you to a wheelchair and if I, they won't
let me cancel, I'll push you out in the Mediterranean.
Anyway, um, life...
Dark pretty fast.
It did go dark pretty fast.
Um, all right.

If you were listening yesterday to the story about that Texas bartender who is facing a year in jail,
and I can't figure out why, honestly, I think this woman was a huge.
hero on what she did.
We have her attorney on.
Maybe he can explain
what the heck is happening
in the great state of Texas
on this.
That's next.
I'm Hillary. That's your four-minute buzz.
And now here's Lenin's due with more of the show.
We have an amazing hour coming up for you here
in just a few minutes. And then
Gad's sad in about 60 minutes
from now. I want to talk to a little bit about
relief factor. Relief factor is
something that is 100%
drug-free. It was created by doctors.
It has four key ingredients in it, and what it does is it helps your body fight against inflammation.
Inflammation is what keeps you up at night.
Inflammation is what keeps you in pain.
Inflammation is why your foot, your knee, your hip, your back, your shoulder, your neck hurts all the time.
It is also, it does horrible things to our health.
You need to control inflammation.
That is exactly what relief factor does.
I have found great and tremendous relief from Relief Factor.
I would not be doing this commercial if it were any different.
I take it three times a day religiously, and it works for me.
Please try it for three weeks.
If it doesn't work, you're out 20 bucks, but if it does, you get your life back.
It's Relief Factor. ReliefFactor.com.
The Fusion of Entertainment and Enlightenment.
This is the Glembeck Program.
There is a story that we brought you yesterday that I just don't even begin to understand happening here in the state of Texas, Texas of all places.
We all know that if a bartender serves somebody who is drunk and then they get into a drunk driving thing, that they're in trouble, right?
We know that.
And that law was done, so servers are not, you know, pushing drinks on people and then pouring them into their car.
That law was not meant for Lindsay Glass, somebody who served four drinks over four hours,
and then thought this person was drunk and so left her job to go try to find him because he wouldn't stay,
and then tracked him to his house and called 911.
It ends up that he kills the members.
of his family, she is now going to trial.
She may go to jail for this.
I don't understand it.
Her attorney is on with us in one minute.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
All right.
So, Donna Dusk is a great thing here.
As we're getting through, we're going on vacation here in a couple of days.
You know, it's the end of what, you know, a long run here.
We had this big special.
Six months.
Yeah.
And I'm a little, you get a little bit tired sometimes.
the afternoon, a little bit losing your, you know, losing your focus.
That's what Dawn to Dusk stops.
I hate that time of day.
Like 3 p.m.
Oh, my gosh.
You're just struggling to get through it.
And you know you need to be productive for a couple more hours at least and you just
can't.
Don to Dusk is a 10-hour energy supplement that helps with mental focus.
And it's extended release.
So you don't get like a giant burst.
It's just helps kind of even you out and keep your focus throughout the day.
You gave some of this to me on the day of the special because I was just dragging
You were.
And I was like, I am not going to make this special.
Yeah.
I didn't even feel it.
I just felt energized, but I didn't feel it.
It's not like, you remember when you gave me a Red Bull years ago?
And I never had one and I went on stage and I was like, okay, we got a lot of it.
It's not that.
I hated that.
I wish we had a video of that show.
Oh, my gosh.
It was amazing.
Okay.
So Brickhouse Nutrition is the company that makes this.
It's called Dawn to Dusk.
I mean, that's special one of being one of the most watched things we've ever done.
And more people watch that special than watched CNN that night.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
Pretty amazing.

I have got to speak my mind on this as Stu did yesterday.
This is grave injustice as I see this.
We wanted to get Lindsay Glass's attorney, Scott Palmer, on to see if he could explain what the heck is happening with Lindsay Glass and why she's possibly going to go to jail for a year for something that even the police say, you saved lives.
Welcome to the program, Scott Palmer.
Thank you.
Thanks to be on.
Thank you.
So can you tell me the story?
What are we missing in this story?
Why are they pursuing this?
I have no idea.
Some cases should be prosecuted and some are just plain should never be.
The idea that this case should be the legacy of this horrible tragedy.
This is what we're talking about now rather than the mental health and the domestic abuse
and the fact that this is a premeditated, heinous crime that was going to happen regardless
of where this man was.
drinking or not drinking.
It just is an insult to the actual memories of these seven people that were killed.
A couple things that I wanted to make sure that we're clear on.
She did not know he was drunk.
She did.
She served him alcohol, as you said, over a four-hour period of time.
But the idea that she understood he was intoxicated is that that's the fact question.
That's the big issue.
That's something we're going to fight.
She did understand and appreciate he was acting strangely.
Right.
And she knew him.
in some way or another.
He was a regular there.
But she served two hard liquor drinks and two beers over a four-hour period.
I mean, your body, your body will, will, uh, uh, it must have been a drink an hour is
what your body works through.
Yeah.
I mean, your body will work through that.
How is she even responsible at all?
Well, she, she's not.
And that's why, I mean, the law is, and I, I heard your intro.
in the dram shop area where you sur over-served somebody and they get in a wreck an accident.
Okay.
And there's liability under the civil law.
And the bar was sued by the lawyers that represented the families.
And I do those types of cases as well.
And I've got to be honest with you, if they came to me with the theory that the bar is responsible for the death of these people
when you've got a massive proximate cause issue, big, I mean, you've got an intentional act that was planned,
premeditated for probably weeks. He had an armory in his apartment of thousands and thousands of
rounds and guns, and he had been plotting this apparently for a while. But to put liability on the
bar or the bartender for what he did, it's just, I can see why you're angry and why you're
doing the story. And this is why the world has been attracted to the story. It doesn't make any
sense to prosecute her. There's no justice here. There's no justice being done on
No, I completely agree with you.
Is it all true that she left the bar?
First, she started to stop him, right, before leaving?
Before he left, she tried to stop him.
Well, they had a conversation.
They went outside, and she's like, what's going on?
You're not acting, you're acting strange.
He was very veiled in what he was saying, and she was asking, is this about Meredith,
which is his soon-to-be-ex-wife, and he's not, it has nothing to do with her.
And so he lied, and apparently he's a master manipulator according to his ex-mother-in-law.
and he's a very adept drunk, which means he's able to mask his intoxication and pool people into serving him, which is exactly what happened here.
So she just got a bad vibe from him, and he ends up believing, and she just did not feel right.
So she literally leaves the bar. Who leaves their work?
Nobody.
I think honestly, Scott, I think Lindsay is a hero.
Yeah.
I really do.
She did something extraordinary.
She did.
And she left the bar.
And I understand that the house that he went to was his ex-wife's house.
And she had moved on.
And Lindsay thought that this Spencer had moved on, too.
They had conversations.
They were friendly.
They were best friends.
But Lindsay was supposed to be at the bar.
I met at the house that night.
There was a cowboy.
I think they were playing the Falcons.
It was the first game of the year in 17.
But she was working.
She had a bar full of people.
He did 10 people with the video.
I haven't seen the video yet.
And she's paying attention to a lot of folks, including him,
but not enough meaningful time to observe him, his walk, his, you know,
and that's where a lot of the probable cause that video is talking about how he was walking
and his mannerisms.
But how he,
how he,
he's a bartender on a sports night.
Good heavens.
I mean,
this is ridiculous.
And she does call her bar manager and then they call the owner.
And, you know, there were some text messages that they quoted saying that, you know, she thought he was crazy or something.
And maybe he was crazy.
He was about to commit mass murder that nobody knew.
But she leaves the bar, literally leaves the bar and has a customer man, and not serve anybody.
Like, just hold the fort.
I've got to go.
Extraordinary move on her part, drives down with her co, I guess, bartender who wasn't working that night, came in off the clock.
And she goes to the home of Meredith.
and she sees this vehicle, Spencer's vehicle, behind, like in the alleyway.
We have alleyways in Texas.
And she freaks out and calls 911 immediately.
It just has this premonition that something bad is happening.
Why is he here?
He's not supposed to be here.
What's going on?
She links up his bizarre behavior, calls 911, and they tell her to leave, get out of the way,
and then eight minutes later, seven people are dead.
But if she hadn't called 911, the SWAT team had not been able to be out there when they did,
more people have been dead.
And if I'm not mistaken, Scott, the other worker that she called initially wound up flagging down an officer as well in this process.
So they tried to contact police at least twice during this situation.
That's new information.
I have not heard that one, but it certainly makes sense to reason that they were both in the moment and they were looking for help.
They're just fearing the worst, not knowing what he was going to do.
Didn't even know.
What?
Who is the prosecuting attorney?
What is he thinking?
What was she supposed to do?
She did more than anyone else would have done.
So here's the rub on this.
The Plano Police Department, not TABC, from what I understand,
the Plano Police Department issued this warrant.
They typed up an affidavit, three pages,
and went and saw a municipal court judge who has power to issue a warrant,
and they did this, I believe, unbeknown,
and without conferring with the Collin County District Attorney's Office.
How's that happened?
Not normal.
And you have to understand there was an officer involved shooting.
They shot and killed Spencer Hight shortly after he murdered these people.
So whenever you have an officer involved shooting,
there's usually a grand jury is convened,
and then there's an inquiry, and of course the officer has to go to grand jury
and be to be no bill, and that's what happened.
So there was a whole, a huge involved investigation from the Plano Police Department,
maybe the Texas Rangers were involved.
And so all of that happened, you know, in 17 and 18.
So all of this, all the evidence, everything that was presented to the grand jury was examined by multiple investigators.
And Lindsay was cooperative during this entire time.
Did the Plano Police not commend her that night and say, if it wasn't for you, there would have been more dead?
That's my understanding, that they commended her.
They continued to commend her and understood that she was having massive PTSD.
I believe they referred her to a therapist that as part of a government grant that is, you know,
that is touches and concerns, you know, these victims of family violence and things of that nature.
So she's been in therapy.
They know this.
They're aware of everything.
And they do this on April 8th, the very day that the civil lawsuit was dismissed voluntarily by the plan of attorneys.
Last question for you because I know you've got to run.
In reading your history, you have a lot of really positive results for your clients,
but you are also known as a, you know, entering into plea negotiations.
You're not going to plead this, are you?
I plan on never having this case darken the courthouse door.
This case has not been filed.
I'm a trial lawyer.
I go to trial when necessary, of course.
It be three cases when it's the right thing to do.
Correct.
I understand that.
So, no, this is, if this gets filed, which we are working with the DA's office to encourage them not to file this case,
and not accept the case from the plaintiff police department, that's the first step.
If it does get accepted, which I'll be surprised if they do accept it after the uproar that's been,
and your, the prevailing attitude across this country in the world,
I'm getting emails from all over the world in support of her is don't prosecute her.
So hopefully the Collin County District Attorney's Office is listening.
And I'm going to, my job and my associate's job is to encourage them to not take the case.
If the case is taken, we will go to trial.
Scott, I tell you, Stu and I take this one personally.
We move to Texas because there is common sense.
There is no common sense in prosecuting this woman.
she is she should be viewed I think as a hero and if you will keep us up to date anything we can do to
help we will this is wrong this is absolutely wrong I agree with you 100% we will keep you up to
date and hopefully give you some good news that the case has been refused we'll let you know
great thank you very much Scott appreciate it okay life lock so many ways that cybercriminals can

So there is a
There's a 14-year-old girl on YouTube
And she has 800,000 followers
That's a lot
She is
At 14 she's foul-mouthed
And she is saying all kinds of things
That you just don't say
say in civil society or at least in this PC world.
It's the kind of stuff that comedians might have said years ago, but nobody has the
balls to say it.
Seems like it goes way beyond that, though, right?
I mean, you could see these real hardcore comedians 20 years ago saying things like this.
But she, yeah, maybe.
But she is, she's way, way out.
the norm now I want you to listen this is her on Muslim she's 14 years old listen to
this since then I've become a devout follower of the prophet Muhammad suffice to say
I mean having a ton of fun of course I get right by my 40 year old husband every
so often and I have to worship a black cube to indirectly please an ancient
Canaanite god but at least I get to go to San Fran and stolen a some gays and
the cops can't do anything about it because California is a crypto caliphate
The only part of Islam I absolutely cannot get into is the anti-Jews stuff.
Personally, I just can't support any sort of animosity towards Jews.
I wouldn't want to be a Nazi now, would I?
Now, in our society, everything she just said is unacceptable.
However, the only speech that needs protecting is the speech we disagree with.
I don't like this because she's taking on a religion.
she is being disrespectful, yada, yada, but she has a right to say these things.
She's clearly, clearly an intelligent person knowing about a caliphate.
Well, how many people knew about a caliphate when I was talking about a caliphate?
I mean, she's saying those words.
We don't know that, I mean, I kind of, you look at the video and to me, it just seems like it's stuff that's written for them.
I don't know who's writing it.
Right? I mean, she's definitely reading a script.
Maybe, I mean, it's possible she wrote it, but I mean, it doesn't seem, I mean, it doesn't seem like that to me.
Which is kind of the part of it that disturbs me a little bit.
It's like, you know, are you putting your kid up on the, to make this sort of commentary and, and you're writing, you know,
writing them use the F word a million times and talk about being raped.
I mean, I, I don't think as, as America's greatest parent, I don't think I would go down that road.
I know I would.
I don't think that that would be a good direction.
I would be saying to my son, even if he wanted to do this or my daughter, I would be saying,
you're going to destroy your life.
Don't do that.
It's not, it's not right.
Yeah.
And you're going to destroy your life.
Don't do it.
And a 14 year old certainly, you know, as you may know, Glenn doesn't always listen to their daddy.
Right.
So we know that we could, but the way the jokes are written, it just seems like it's some, it's an adult writing them.
Now here she is defending her videos.
Listen.
Apparently, because there's 800,000 of you,
I'm burdened with the duty of babysitting and indoctrinating you,
and I bear the social responsibility of treating you like cattle
who are such blubbering retards that they can't think for themselves.
Let me put it in blunt terms for you.
There's no such thing as the social responsibility of entertainers, you f***.
For decades now, kids have been getting taught left to shit in public schools
and none of you bad nigh,
but someone put some videos up on YouTube without any pretense
and suddenly they're brainwashing people.
You could beg me kicking and screaming to stop disseminating the ideas I believe in,
and it wouldn't make a difference.
Not only am I inoculated to that bitch, most of Gen Z is, too.
Millennials grew up with MTV, and nowadays they watch Colbert.
We, on the other hand, grew up with the internet,
so we have no centralized source of information that controls what we think,
and we filter out the truth for ourselves.
We're not lazy.
No one is brainwashing kids.
Kids are simply learning from having free access to information,
and there's nothing you can do about it.
Keep crying about how scared you are that we're being weaponized for the upcoming crusades.
What are you going to do? Tell me to watch ContraPoints. Kill yourself.
In any case, I'm wondering why they're concerned with what I say instead of being concerned with the parents who let their kids watch me.
But then again, these are the same brainlets that believe it would benefit society if every mother would ship in an undocumented Latino woman
to take care of her children while she works as a secretary.
Calling us brainwashed won't do a thing when we're kicking her ass in every metric.
Wow.
Society is just awful.
Let's just turn it off.
So now...
It's about time.
What was that show?
There's a...
On the USA.
I'm kind of getting on that.
So let's just burn the whole thing down.
Okay, I'm ready.
I'm ready.
Wait, do we have any...
Is Elysium a real thing?
Can we go there?
There's a couple things.
If she is this intelligent,
I mean, I could have seen...
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Ben Shapiro.
Ben Shapiro, we knew him at that age.
Yeah, and he never...
would have done that. Nor would you do it today. No, I'm not saying that. I'm saying she is making
a, at least a cogent argument. It's not necessarily when I agree with, but she's making a cogent
argument. And it is a backlash. This is the backlash that you will see from the next generation,
because this generation says, shut everything down. The pendulum will swing back. This is your
future.
You're listening to Glenn Beck.
Relief factor.
If you're in constant pain, you are not alone.
I know because I was in constant pain for years.
It's just you can't live this way.
You just can't live this way.
And 66% of the people who are living this way expect that the rest of their lives
are going to be living this way.
I can't do it.
my wife, because I'm really stubborn, and I've woken up on an operating table two times,
I have a very high tolerance to any pain relief or anything else.
So I never thought relief factor would work for me.
My wife was, she got pissed at me.
She was like, try it.
Just try it.
And so I did.
And I'm glad I married a saint.
And it worked.
It worked.
70% of the people who try this.
It works for them.
I take it three times a day faithfully.
When I don't take it, I know I don't take it.

Today is the one-year anniversary of the embassy moving to Jerusalem.
We have a joint production between the Blaze and Faithwire.com celebrating it.
It starts tonight on Blaze TV.
There is a book out, new book called Alchemy,
The Dark Art and Curious Science of Creating Magic in Brands, Business, and Life.
This has, to me, I'm going on vacation in a couple of days,
this is a book I'm going to be reading on vacation.
Because it talks about how we are missing how people are feeling.
and I mean, how do you get somebody to drink Red Bull when it's horrible?
I mean, it's horrible.
I've had one and Stu gave it to me and it made me feel like crap, but it doesn't taste good.
It's awful.
It's almost the charm of it in some weird way.
How?
I don't know.
How?
Because there's other competitors.
Like the new Monster Rain stuff is really good.
It tastes delicious.
So Rory Sutherland is a.
an ad man. He writes the spectator's wikyman column. He also presents for the BBC Radio 4 in,
uh, in England. His TED talks have, you know, like seven million views. And he is the author of
alchemy and we welcome him to the program. Hi, Rory. How are you? You bet. Um, I'm fascinated, um,
by what you've, what you've found and where we're headed. Give me some of the, give me some of the,
Give me some of the highlights here.
First, let's start with Red Bull.
How do you get people to drink Red Bull when it tastes like garbage?
You see, if you sat down in that, you said, we want a drink to compete.
The thing they'd say is, okay, your new drink has to taste nice from Coke and a really big can,
so people get great value for money.
In a tiny can that takes.
Not kind of.
I drink it myself.
I would say this quite clearly.
I really quite enjoy it.
And the reason is, of course, that I think everything in human perception is,
affected not just by reality but by context this is that your drink has kind of
medicinal or psychoactive powers the fact that it tastes weird isn't the
disadvantage if it's a diet drink so does this is this were these things
planned for instance did did the people at Red Bull did they did they
instinctively know this or scientifically know this that they had to make it
taste like dog crap
I'm interesting.
Right.
More candy, which is capitalism, capitalism than we think.
Large part, I think, of consumer capitalism.
And I think, I mean, one example I find fascinating is that Google changed it.
I'm not claiming that it's anything other than that.
However, it did a very clever psychological trick in the sense that at the time everybody else was trying to be a portal.
They put sports scores, they put weather information, they put breaking news, called the Jack of All, something that only does one.
thing is going to be better at it than something that does multiple things.
You know, I've often thought, I've often thought, Rory, that that page also lends Google
credibility because you're not associating it with anything other than information that
you're looking for.
So I never see an ad that for something that I like or don't like, I never see a news
story that I like or don't like.
It seems neutral, even though it's not.
I agree with you. I think the very simplest.
However, I think time wasn't very good.
And it was kind of the best thing to do.
Oh, wow.
There's an interesting care that in Tyson, I think the magic comes from the fact that the thing is transparent.
And you can actually see the dirt that you're removing from your floor.
Psychological insight.
Waiting for a taxi is inordinately less frustrating if you can see where it is.
And, you know, I had no idea that this came from a James Bond film or somebody watching it.
Can you explain the story of how this came about?
No, so one of the co-founded in DB-6,
something like 10 years ago,
looked at that and said,
that's how it should work when you order a taxi.
Wow.
That's brilliant.
A multi-billion dollar decision there.
You make the case that we don't value things.
We are a society of things.
And you say,
we don't value things.
We value their meaning.
Yes,
I think that's absolutely economic how much value we attach to it,
making decisions in a world of complete certainty.
Now, in truth, in between, something can seem expensive or cheap, by the way,
entirely dependent on what the famous Xerati looks insanely expensive at a car show.
If you exhibit those cars at yacht and air changes,
if you've been looking at Learjets all afternoon,
a $400,000 car is effectively an impulse buy.
It's the candy.
It's the candy of the cash register.
On your way out, you say, I'll have a couple of those while I'm here.
Yeah.
And so, there's an example of this.
It's quite an expensive coffee if you compare it to ground coffee.
It's a cheap coffee if you compare it to Starbucks.
So, Rory, I was against Donald Trump during the election,
and I'm a conservative in radio here and television.
America, but I was against him and I could not understand how my audience was flocking to him
until after the election.
And I started asking the question that I would have asked any of my friends who were acting,
you know,
erratically and saying, I believe in this, but then I'm going to go vote for this.
And I started asking the question, what's happening in your life?
then I began to understand how people felt.
And I know facts don't care about feelings,
but feelings, especially now in politics, are playing the critical role.
It's how, because people on both sides, and I think all over Europe and in England with Brexit,
there are those people in Brexit that are racist,
but there are also those who feel like they've been left behind not listened to.
They're losing their culture.
And they don't agree with what's going on, but nobody's listening to them.
And I don't care what side you're on, but that is a big motivator, I think, all around the world right now,
are these people who feel nobody's listening to me.
I don't matter.
I think, actually, what you might call me.
Yes, yes.
And it's partly the problem lies not necessarily in them being technocratic or in being
in a little, quite often similar in terms of their background.
And their capacity to understand someone who's extraordinary bad.
I mean, add to that, I think, the fact that Trump is in many ways a persuasive genius.
You might expect this in the real estate industry, but he's an instinctive salesman
of a remarkable kind.
If you take something like, we're going to build a wall, that's concretization.
In other words, truly make it concrete in this case.
Now, if Hillary wanted to actually respond to people's concerns over immigration,
she'd say something like,
we're going to hold constructive tripartite discussions with our Mexican and Canadian allies.
Ironically, for someone who's a billionaire with a private bar,
I also mental mold, at least, a single cast essentially,
certainly on large number of sort of...
And I think you're exactly right, and I have begun to understand him
and even appreciate some of the things that he does.
I would love to have you back, Rory.
Do you ever come to the United States?
I would love to sit down and talk to you because I'm very concerned.
I'm a, I guess, an anti-fan in some ways of Edward Bernays.
And we are entering a time now of these corporations.
You know, for instance, Amazon, they are,
so driven on data, they say that when they can predict us at 95%, they're going to stop being
really a catalog online and more of just a delivery service. They're just going to be delivering
stuff to us before we even order it. You look at...
It always becomes on approval that Amazon will correct. Preemptively send us things.
Correct.
And the occasion, we'll send it back. So there's, we're entering this time between Facebook, Google,
Amazon where I'm not sure that who's leading who? Advertising is going to change dramatically,
and it concerns me, and I'd love to have a conversation with you. Would you come back?
I also think because it's numerical and digital. We tend to see it as being impartial and objective.
Actually, all those things carry with them. Yes.
We find it like you live just outside London. The logical way to get to central London is you drive to a nearby railway station and then
the trade, just have the concept of driving somewhere and then catching a train.
Right.
Rory, I've got to let you go, but I really thank you, and I hope that we can spend some more
time together because I think you are brilliant and on the cutting edge of the future and
the consequences and what's happening right now.
Rory Sutherland, and the name of the book is Alchemy, definitely a read that you should
you should pick up.

Jordan Peterson's mentor, the guy Jordan Peterson called up and said,
hey, I want to start saying some things.
How do I do it?
GAD sad next.
Thank you so much, Hillary.
Freedom Works.
Freedom Works is working on something right now because most people don't know that our own HHS secretary,
Alex Azar.
is helping the socialist by trying to let foreign countries dictate the prices of our medicine here in the United States.
Doing this is going to lead to shortages of vital medicines.
It will set back medical research decades.
It'll make it harder for researchers to find cures for horrible diseases like Alzheimer's and cancer and diabetes.
When did we sign up for foreign countries, you know, setting our drug prices?
When did that happen?
Now, FreedomWorks is doing all they can by raising the alarm and trying to get people to understand what's happening with socialized medicine and stopping it in its tracks.
But boy, this is going to be a hard, hard battle.
They are way ahead on the left.
They need your help at FreedomWorks.
I would urge you to go to FreedomWorksforme.com, freedomworksfor me.com,
and tell Secretary Azar to put the America first and,
fix patience, not prices.
Freedomworksforme.com.
Go there right now.
It's freedomworks for me.com.
All right.
Coming up in just a few minutes,
I'm really excited to have Gad sat on.
Yeah, that's great.
I was nervous the first time I talked to him.
Really?
Because, you know, he's a lot smarter than you.
Yeah, that's true.
I mean, I just don't.
He is a lot smarter than me.
That goes without saying.
But, you know, when you meet somebody that you respect,
you don't know how it's going to
go. You hate to have people you really respect, disappoint you. And he has done the exact opposite.
He's an amazing, amazing man who I just love. He's joining us next.
The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glembeck program.
A new friend of mine, Gad Sad, is in the holding pen right now. He's about to come on. He is a
an evolutionary behavioral scientist.
Basically, he's a professor of marketing.
He is one of the greatest thinkers of our time.
In fact, he's the guy that Jordan Peterson called when Jordan said,
I think I need to speak out because Gadsad had been speaking out and speaking his mind for a very long time.
He is really, they call him the gadfather, but the godfather of,
The intellectual dark web, before it had a name, he just naturally is that guy.
You are going to have a wild ride if you've never heard him.
If you have heard him, he's at his best.
Gad Sad joins us in one minute.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
You should ask Gad how we should market the X-Chair, Stu.
That's a good point.
I guess we should have thought of this in advance.
He'd probably be like, you know what you shouldn't do is start an advertisement with a question about how you should talk about it.
That's one thing he would probably recommend.
Yeah.
All we know is is really comfortable and we sit in and really enjoy it.
And when you're working at a home office or sitting in a chair all day, this is what you want.
He would probably say you should relate to the audience.
Okay.
Yeah.
So have you ever sat in a chair and your butt falls asleep?
Okay.
That's happened to everyone.
It's happening everybody.
Your butt falls asleep and you're like, my bot really doesn't do that much all day.
Why does it need to sleep more than I am?
I feel like it should be awake when I needed to be awake.
It should be awake right now.
I'm working.
I'm sitting.
And it goes to sleep.
So the one thing that's happened with the next year, it's super, super comfortable.
It is like a bed for your butt, but your butt doesn't go to sleep.
How's that?
What do you think?
Oh, I'm sure God's going to approve that for sure.
Yeah.
Now, that's caveman.
That's evolutionary.
very thought right there.
Anyway, X-Chair, X-Chair, the best chair I've ever set in, it is really much more like a lazy boy.
This is an office chair, but I am not kidding you.
I would watch a movie in this chair.
It comes with a footrest, and it's really super comfortable.
It supports you in all the right places, and like I said, it's a bed for your butt.
So, X-chair, go to X-chairbeck.com.
30-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked.
You got to try this chair.

Let me get Dr. Gad's sad on with us now.
Hello, doctor.
How are you?
Well, I'm pretty good.
I'm a little offended that you've never responded back to me.
How are you, doctor?
How are you, doctor?
How are you, doctor?
Thank you very much.
I was just going to say that it's quite befitting that prior to my coming on, you
discussed, but I've been referred to as the Ron Jeremy of evolutionary psychology.
So there's a reference for you.
Really?
Really.
That's fascinating.
So, Gad, we just had Rory Sutherland on.
Do you know who he is?
I do.
What do you think of him?
I mean, I don't know much of his work.
I know of some friends who speak very highly of them.
I think we follow each other on social media, but I couldn't say more than that, to be honest with you.
He's got a new book out called Alchemy, and we were kind of talking about the way that feelings are playing such.
a role now in in marketing and you know how I didn't understand how people were voting for
Donald Trump until I said what's happening in your life and then I then I realized why people
were so strongly behind him they felt that they weren't being heard nobody was listening
the political ruling class was doing the same thing over and over.
They'll tell you one thing, do another.
He was cut from a different cloth.
They knew that he was pigish, but they were, they just wanted somebody that would break up this system.
And they thought he could do it.
And he was a wise enough businessman that he wouldn't destroy the country.
That was eye-opening to me.
I mean, I mean, I think you're right on that, of course, feelings matter when it comes to marketing products, marketing politicians.
I think the danger is when we, people think that feelings and thinking are, if you like, antithetical to one another.
And that's not true.
We're both a thinking animal and a feeling animal.
Yes.
What matters is that you apply the correct system in the proper, you know, for the proper decision.
So, for example, if I am selling perfumes, then I need to trigger your hedonic emotional system.
I mean, I don't sell you a perfume by telling you, here's what Harvard physiologists think of this chemical compound.
Right.
I need to sell you fantasy, so I show you a gorgeous girl on a horse with her air flowing.
On the other hand, if I'm trying to sell you mutual funds, then I need to engage your cognitive system.
So it's not so much that we are either feelers or thinkers.
it's that we need to apply the right system and the right condition.
Oh, but wait a minute.
If you're selling me mutual funds, I would still contend, because I think this is why
conservatives lose the battle.
I contend that the fastest way to a person's brain is through their heart.
And so you paint a picture of what people want to be, what they want to do, what they want
their life to be like, and then show them the facts that back up.
this is how we do it.
Fair enough.
I mean, all that you're saying is that you could never either have a strictly cognitive appeal,
marketing appeal or a strictly affective appeal.
And I certainly would concede that point.
And I think that's true.
I mean, all the way to brain surgery.
I mean, my daughter is we're looking at having brain surgery for her.
And she's been having testing, you know, like crazy over the last year.
And while I want a doctor to be.
be able to explain it and really be precise on exactly what he's going to do.
And I need the, I need the facts on exactly what's happening.
I also want to feel from him that he is compassionate and understands this is my daughter.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Physicians now in Quebec, they are trying, we are thinking of changing the medical school
curriculum to no longer include grading because too many of the students are getting high stress.
So I really want a physician who is handling life or death decisions to be sufficiently weak that
they can't handle an A or a B grade. I mean, imagine how much you're infantilizing people when
even physicians now or physicians to be can no longer handle the indignity of being graded. It's insane.
I saw a report about medical school where people said that there were too many white people
and too many men in it or something.
I can't remember.
And they said, we have to change that.
And I'm like, no, let's just get the qualified people.
I don't care what color they are.
I want the most qualified person to be performing surgery.
So this is what I call, by the way.
So there's this whole movement of diversity, inclusion, and equity.
So I've taken the three letters and created the acronym Dye.
It's the Dye religion, right?
Chared professorships are now assigned as a function of whether you adhere to the Dye theology or not.
I mean, imagine, right?
The highest level of excellence in academia is no longer determined by your accomplishments.
It's determined by your sexual orientation, whether you ovulate or not.
not, your skin color. It's absolutely insane. And I truly wonder when it is that most academics
are going to have the testicular fortitude to wake up and start speaking out against this.
Well, I will tell you, I think you guys in Canada are way ahead of us. I mean, I don't,
honestly, I don't know what it is in Canada. Maybe it's because you guys have to fight
every step of the way and we have this, you know, strange belief that our Constitution will protect
us and our Bill of Rights. But it's not going to
protect us because we're not standing up for it. But Canada, the academics in Canada,
seem to be being very vocal. Well, certainly the few Canadian academics who are at the forefront
of it, yes, you're right. But what I would love to see is the silent majority, right? I mean,
as I've often recounted, I get innumerable emails from fellow professors, not just Canadians,
from all over the world, saying, hey, I support you. I really support you. Thank you for
being, you know, an academic hero. But please, please, don't share publicly that I support you.
Well, therein lies the problem. I know. I mean, if you can't even have the courage to simply
say that you support the guy who's fighting for your rights, then we really have sunk into
an abyss of cowardice that's difficult to come out. I just gave a speech last night to a Jewish
and Christian organization. It was the anniversary of the establishment of Israel yesterday.
and and little did I know a woman who survived the Holocaust was in the audience and I was talking about how, you know, how these things happen.
And they don't, they don't just, they don't come as monsters.
They come first, you know, kind of wrapped in goodness and justice and everything else.
And they, they start with political correctness.
and they train you not to feel comfortable to speak out until you are cowering behind your curtains in your front room and you know if I open up those curtains, they'll kill me.
If you don't speak out when it's early, you're not going to have the fortitude to do anything later.
And we're in this point.
We're at this flex point now where it's about to go really dark, I think.
and if we don't start standing up now,
I don't think we're going to make it.
The knee-molar poem becomes true.
I completely agree with you.
I just in preparation of our chat,
since I thought that we might be talking about anti-Semitism,
I pulled out some stats,
which I discussed in my forthcoming book.
So this is from a Pew Research Center survey.
You know, it's an unbiased organization, non-partisan.
They do these, you know, very exhaustive global surveys.
opinion of Jews in select countries.
Here are the stats for unfavorable opinions of Jews.
I'll just list four or five countries.
Okay, stop, stop, stop, stop.
Let me take a one-minute break and then I'll come back,
and you can give those those stats.
One in one minute back with Katzat.
I want to talk to you a little bit about real estate agents I trust.com.
This is your biggest investment.
Your home is your biggest investment.
Do you, I mean, if you invest into 401k, you at least go up to the person in corporate and go,
uh, which plan should I invest in?
When you're actually investing your own money in stocks and bonds, you go and you look for somebody at J.P. Morgan or someplace where you trust that they're experts.
When it comes to your biggest investment, we're all like, do you know somebody sells houses?
Yeah, well, uh, my, uh, my brother-in-law, he does that.
part time. Okay. Why would you do that? You need an expert. You need an agent with a long
track record of performance. You need an agent that is an expert in your neighborhood. You need
somebody that you can trust because you know they do business like you. They share your values
and they care about actually selling your house. Now, if that's what you want in a real

the embassy opening up in Jerusalem, the one year anniversary. It seems like it's been 15 years in
some ways. The one-year anniversary, we have real problems with Iran. We have just pulled our
people out of Iran from the embassy. I don't know what this means. I really don't know what this
means. We could be going to war with Iran, and the world will change. And as always, when socialism
is in vogue, so is something else.
Anti-Semitism.
And anti-Semitism is on the rampage right now.
Gad SAD is with us.
You have some stats from around the world.
Yeah, I'll just give you two quick stats.
So one is from Pew Research Center.
Here are the percentages of people pulled in Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and the Palestinian
territory, so the neighbors of Israel.
in terms of their unfavorability scores towards the Jews.
95%, 97%, 98% and 97%.
I mean, let's that sink in.
98% of people polled in my home country of Lebanon hate the Jews.
What a surprise that we had to leave Lebanon in 1975.
So when you have somebody like Rashida Taleb come out and say that her grandmother,
lost her land and many Palestinians lost their lives so so the Jews could have a homeland what
how do you process that this is this is what I call I don't know if we discussed this last
time that we chatted when I came down to Dallas this is what I call the collective
munchausen syndrome right it's where you gain power by always feigning injury right or in
this case you need to be the very
victim, right? So she needs to always view the Palestinians as the victims. And so she constructs a
story now where she still remains or her ancestors remain the victims in the grand narrative.
And it's delusional. It is absolutely not anywhere close to actual history and delusional.
Well, and I'll give you, I'll give you a personal anecdote. So we were, we were obviously forced to leave Lebanon at the start of
the 75, 1975, Lebanese Civil War.
After we left, my parents kept returning to Lebanon until 1980, when they were kidnapped
by Fatah, Palestinian terror group, and they found out that our own home in Lebanon has now
been taken over by Palestinian refugees.
I don't construct today a narrative that, you know, adheres to my, you know, political views.
I don't hold any ill will towards all Palestinians because this happened.
Just be truthful.
But she's incapable of being truthful because she always has to create the narrative of the Palestinians are the victims
and the evil Jews are the oppressors.
You're an atheist, Gad.
I am.
Do you believe in evil?
I do.
I do.
Now, I don't think that one needs to couch the language of, you know,
know, the existence of evil in a theological construct, people are born with the random combination
of genes that constitute originally their parents, and sometimes people are born tall or short
or with a blue dot on their face or without a blue dot on their face. And similarly, through
random mutation, some people are born. For example, serial killers are born without the capacity
to feel empathy. That's not rooted in a theological construct. It's just the reality. It's just the
reality of the random combination of genes.
So is that, I believe there is a force of evil.
And, you know, I don't have to take it to Satan or anything like that.
I can just take it to, you know, you had these really sick people like Hitler and
gerbils and everybody else.
They were really disturbed.
And they, their force of will became infectious.
us and it spread and that evil force that they had within them caught a lot of people up into it
that that weren't necessarily evil.
They just kind of were swept up in it.
Right.
I mean, some of the most classic and best known experiments in psychology, so for example,
the Milgram experiment, maybe you might know it, but let me just kind of briefly mention.
It's the Yale experiment?
Exactly, the real experiment.
Well, that came as a result of many of the foot soldiers, the Nazi foot soldiers,
simply saying, hey, I'm not an evil guy.
I was just kind of, I was caught up in the moment.
And so what Milgram wanted to do was test whether, you know, there was truth to that,
whether I can take completely normal people, put them in a condition where I forced them to conform,
and then they would do some truly horrifying things.
And as he found out, he could get people without them knowing that,
that this was a made-up thing, he could get people to administer voltage to fellow students
that would kill them simply through his authority.
Hey, you agreed to participate in this experiment, zap them.
And so you're right.
Not every single Nazi was an evil guy, but certainly the ones who orchestrated it were.
This is, it goes back to, and you probably remember this book.
I can't remember the name of it.
I'm looking for it on my iPad here.
the book about the soldiers in Poland that were some of the best policemen in Poland, not evil,
and how the Germans turned them into just a massive killing machine and how you do that.
And I have to tell you, with the anti-Semitism that's going on, with this new poll that we've talked about,
earlier this week where about 40% of the population looks at the other side as not human.
Right.
20% of the Democrats and 13% of the Republicans say that we'd be better off if there was some sort of a mass killing of the other side.
We're headed towards some really frightening stuff.
We'll get your opinion on that and so much more with Dr. Gavis.
Gad Sad, professor at Concordia University, and just a wise, wise guy, the gadfather, if you will, of the intellectual dark web.
Gad Sad, more in a minute.
You're listening to Glenn Beck.
All right.
Simply Safe Home Security knows that the stats prove this out, that if you have somebody who is robbing houses, they come
your neighborhood, they come to your house, and they see a security system, they immediately go,
80% of the time, go to the next house. They just, why fool with it? They don't want to get caught.
So you need a security system. Now, you can go to these box stores and you'll get, you know,
gadgets. You don't need security gadgets. You need a security system. And Simply Safe Home Security
now has the best system. You've not heard me say this. This is, they're. They're
offer things now that no other security system offers, especially at the price and the monthly
monitoring. There's no contracts. It's $14.99 a month. Plus, getting into it. Well, for instance,
how much is a security camera? Well, it's simply safe right now. When you order, you'll get a
free security camera. That's a $100 value. Eyes on your home 24-7. The best service out there
The best system, simply safebeck.com.
So Gadsad is with us.
He is the godfather of the intellectual dark web and a friend and just somebody I just
really truly admire, admire because he is really truly open to learning.
And that's our biggest problem is so many of us are set in our ways and we're like,
no, it's not, look, if somebody can prevent it.
can present me with new facts.
I'll change my mind.
I just want to see the facts behind it.
Gad, we're talking about anti-Semitism, and I want to kind of broaden this a little bit to where we're headed in the world.
Because you really are, you're a behavioral scientist, you're an evolutionary behavioral scientist.
You're an ad man, if you will.
And have you read Christopher Browning's Ordinary Men?
Okay, it's about the police battalion, I think, 101, the Polish police battalion.
And they were good guys, and they, none of them wanted to kill Jews.
And before you knew it, they were the worst squad out there.
And so in the 1960s, they went back and they talked to these guys.
What happened?
How did this happen?
and it's fascinating to see the psychological underpinnings on how you go from a good person to a really evil person that was, you know, gladly participating in the Holocaust over a short period of time.
We have a system now that we're indoctrinating our kids with some.
Socialism, anti-Semitism, collectivism.
We have corporations that Michael Recktonwald from NYU has said to me recently,
they're not selling their soul.
They're not just hitching their star to the current bandwagon by putting Nike,
by putting Kaepernick up.
They are actually pushing for socialism because,
they believe that there is going to be a corporate United States of America.
And these corporations that are so big up at the top are going to be able to really control things.
We get into this place to where where does advertising, when does it become evil propaganda?
and and when is it just plain old advertising.
But we're coming to a place to where it's going to be predicting us so much that it will seem
totally natural for us to go, oh, I want to buy that product.
But we're being manipulated.
Well, that incidentally, I mean, that's exactly why I love, I mean, the scientific discipline
of marketing, because as I often remark, life is marketing and marketing is life.
So advertising in of itself is just a mechanism to transmit information.
Now, that mechanism can be used for nefarious purposes, or it can be used to convince you
that you should not lead a sedentary life and stop smoking and stop eating French fries.
So there's nothing inherently evil or good about advertising.
It's really how you use it.
So in my case, the way that I use some of my marketing know-how is how can I construct.
messages that are appealing and that will sway people to, for example, get engaged in the
battle of ideas.
So it's not just about marketing of Coca-Cola and Starbucks.
We market ideas.
I mean, if we are good academics, we should also be in the business of packaging and selling
good ideas.
So it is in that sense that I use my marketing know-how in selling good ideas and killing
bad ones.
So how are we, because I don't hear anybody with a good marketing campaign on the free market.
I don't hear anybody that's presenting that in a way that seems relevant or winning.
Well, I think the reason for that is that the public discourse is really carried out at such a banal and trivial level, right?
we're still talking about should we be getting Donald Trump Jr. to testify and so on,
rather than talking exactly about the issues that you're talking about.
I mean, is the death penalty a good thing for a civilized society or not?
What are your views on abortion?
What should be our proper fiscal policy, our monetary policy, our foreign policy?
Most people don't want to talk about these things.
They'd rather engage in gossip, even in the context of the political arena.
And so our discourse is really at the level of a five-year-old rather than elevating it to that of, you know, well-thinking adults.
So how do we get people there?
We get them to read my books and consume my material.
That's how we can.
No, but really what you do is that you maintain a discipline of, as you said earlier, always wanting to learn, right?
I mean, one of the things that happens to me whenever we're about to go on vacation with the family is I go through.
through this process in my personal library, where I'm in an utter panic because I've got
three, four hundred books that I've yet to read. And the question becomes, which book
am I bringing? I know it's Sophie's choice. I'm doing it today, myself. I'm going on vacation
tomorrow. Now, why is it that you and I are sitting there, you know, torturing ourselves
over this? Because we are hungry for knowledge. So I think if we can get people to, you know,
listen less to Ariana Grande and worry less about Justin Bieber and about, you know, whatever, you know,
Chips people consume every day and elevate the conversation.
I'm not sure there is a panacea.
There's a magic bill, but...
But see, here's the problem.
I remember back in the 90s being so clear and every conservative, I know, I will never
give my fingerprint to the government.
That's outrageous.
I won't get facial recognition.
That's got to be stopped.
Really?
We're giving our fingerprint to Apple and facial recognition.
recognition gladly the the power of brave new world is so strong that even when people know
this is destructive behavior this social media thing that I'm hooked to it's destructive
they will not get rid of it you know you know it's and that speaks exactly to the point
that people engage in bad behavior not necessarily because they don't know the consequences
right? This is sort of the classic intervention strategy. Oh, if you want to get people to stop smoking,
explain to them that smoking is bad for them. But I mean, which person alive today doesn't know that
smoking is not good for you, right? Here's a great story. I had a physician once that I went to see.
I was suffering from bronchitis and I used to suffer from asthma. I went to see him because I was
suffering from bronchitis. He was chained smoking in the consultation room. So I asked him,
I said, hey, Doc, do you think it's reasonable for you to be?
And he just laughed it off and said, ah, don't worry about it.
Now, did this physician not know that it was inappropriate,
not only to be smoking in front of me, but to be smoking for his own lungs?
Of course you knew.
So it's much more than simply providing people with information.
It's providing people with information that is actionable.
Let me, if I can just give you one quick example using the smoking example.
Young men who heavily smoke are the ones most likely.
to suffer from erectile dysfunction.
Young men usually don't suffer from erectile dysfunction,
but if they are heavy smoker,
they are much higher risk to suffer from erectile dysfunction.
If I want to stop a young man from smoking,
telling him that he might develop lung cancer
or heart disease when he is 75
is not going to catch his attention,
telling him that he won't be able to perform tonight
with the gorgeous girl will.
It doesn't take a fancy evolutionary psychologist
to understand that point.
So it's not so much providing people
with information, but it's about providing them with the right information.
However, when the pleasure is so great, and this is one thing I'm very concerned about,
when the pleasure or the reward is so great and it's not real life, for instance, you can
say, you know, look, you playing these video games or engaging with pornography, it's
like heroin, it's going to rewire your brain, and you studies will show that you will have a
much less fulfilling sex life in real life if you're doing these things online. They don't
really care. I, well, listen, the one who crashed that mystery will be booking themselves a
ticket to Stockholm to pick up the Nova Prize. I mean, that's, that really is very much the type of stuff
that I do, right? How can I get people to engage in some action using some appropriate persuasion
technique? What we absolutely know to repeat, it's not simply the fact that people do bad things
because they don't know any better. So, for example, when it comes to sun tanning,
women are much more aware of the deleterious consequences of sun tanning, yet they do it much more
than men. So it's not about not having the proper information. It's giving them the correct
information.
Ken, what is your feeling on
Edward Renais?
I think we briefly mentioned
him last when I was on your
long podcast.
I think so.
This is the propaganda guy, correct?
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, you had, that's right, you hadn't really
looked at that video.
Exactly.
I haven't, and I remember someone
I think even wrote on your
in your comment session.
What? He's a professor of marketing and he hasn't
delve into this. So maybe I really need to get into this guy, right? Yeah, you should. You should. I'd be
fascinated to hear what you think because he's, you know, he's the reason we have eggs and bacon for
breakfast. And he was not an ad guy. He was, he was the father of propaganda. He won
World War I for the West. And Gerbil said it was because he learned from him that the Germans did
as well as they did.
And I'd be interested in hearing your take on him because we are, we're, we're entering a new world
where we're easily manipulated by these giant companies without our knowledge at all.
And I don't hear anybody talking about this in, in any real terms.
They'll talk about it as, you know, fake news, et cetera.
But that's not what, that's not the only concern.
The concern is what these companies are doing with advertising,
how they're using their analytics and their algorithms to cater directly to us
and sell us things that we're just going to find absolutely reasonable.
And incidentally, one of the best ways.
to get people to become, if you like, lifelong consumers, loyal, brand-loyal consumers,
is to get to them when they are very young, where they don't yet get cognitive and emotional apparatus
to build counter-argument against you.
I mean, this is why we have laws that you're not supposed to directly target children, you know,
below a certain age.
And yet, when it comes to, forgive me for saying this, I know that you are a man of faith,
when it comes to religion, well, straight out of the womb, I could be,
selling my product, in this case, my religious belief to my child.
And so what do you think is going to happen?
How likely is my child ever going to develop his own thinking about this particular issue
when I am advertising to him straight from out of the womb?
But this doesn't only apply to religion.
Now when it comes, for example, to trans activism, now in grade one, we're starting to talk about,
gender fluidity.
Well, why is it, I mean, how come throughout history, you haven't had to have that conversation,
but suddenly now we need to be having these conversations about two-spirited people and gender-neutral people when the kids are five years old, really?
Well, I will tell you, Gad, when it comes to religion, and I know you and I disagree on religion, and they think our disagreement is healthy.
But my son came to me, oh, six months or so ago, and he was very nervous, and he said, Dad, I don't know if I believe in God.
And I said, great.
And it took him by surprise.
And he said, what?
And I said, son, you shouldn't believe in God because I do.
I want you to do your own homework.
If you find that there is a God, great.
But I'm going to ask you to tell me why you believe that.
If you decide there is no God, I'm going to ask you to tell me why you believe that.
This is your journey, not mine.
And I think...
Your position is so commendable.
Wow, that's brilliant.
That's fantastic.
I think, but I don't think I'm alone in that.
I hope I'm not.
I don't think I'm alone in that.
Maybe you should have had a conversation with my parents in 1972.
Oh, it's 1972.
You should have talked to my parents, too.
So, Gadsad, thank you so much.
God bless you.
And, or not, you know, a universe bless you.
I think you meant God bless you.
Gad bless you.
Yes, thank you so much.
Gadsad. You can follow him on Twitter. You can follow him on YouTube. Make sure you look him up because he is, he is just truly fascinating. And you'll learn a lot. Whether you agree with him or not, you will learn a lot from GAD sad. That's S-A-A-D, Gad-Sad.
Here in constant pain, you are not alone. And I know because I've been in constant pain.
Uh, I've been, well, right now, um, my arms are, uh, completely numb. And, uh, I love that. I love that. It's fantastic. Better than when they're just shooting pain. Um, I don't have the, the pain and the fatigue from the pain that I was having over a year ago, um, because I take relief factor. I didn't think this would work for me, but it did. I started taking it because my,
My wife was like, you got to take whatever.
Why don't you want to be able?
Oh, whatever.
And so just to quiet her down, I took it.
And I honestly, I didn't take it because I didn't think it would work.
It has worked for me big time.
I take it three times a day.
And I know when I don't take it, I know it.
I feel it.
