The Blaze Radio Network. On Demand. Glenn. Back. Well, this kind of escalated quickly, didn't it? In four days, Christine Ford went from an anonymous letter writer to willing to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Probably the most talked about person in four days. Probably the most talked about person in America yesterday.

Now, what a surprise, she's a professor from a university in California. California, who says that the Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, sexually assaulted her at a high school party in 1982. I want to be really, really clear. I don't want to discredit her. I don't want to make a judgment on her or anything else. I want to set the record straight as we know it. She's made a serious accusation in which Kavanaugh, unequivocally. denies. He said in a statement yesterday, I have never done anything like what the accuser describes

to her or anyone. Because this never happened, I have no idea who is making this accusation until she identified herself yesterday. Kavanaugh said he's more than willing to talk to the Senate Judiciary Committee, even though he's already spent four marathon days in the hot seat, where Democrats had every opportunity to grill him. But they failed to do so. Now, Christine Ford lawyer says Ford is also willing to do whatever it takes to get her story forth. To get her story forth. Is that your goal to get your story out or is your goal to find justice? Interesting.

She said she's willing to do it no matter what, even if it means testifying before the committee. Democrats, of course, are also willing to do whatever it takes to tell her story, which is probably why we were hurting hearing it. in the first place. Ford's lawyer, Deborah Katz, escalated the rhetoric yesterday, calling Kavanaugh's alleged assault attempted rape. Katz seems very convinced of Ford's story, but she wasn't as convinced by one of Bill Clinton's accusers in 1990. Katz told the New York Times in 1998 that she didn't think Paula Jones had a case. She also accused Al Franken's alleged

misbehavior because he wasn't a senator at the time of the incident. So it's really interesting. You know, one woman can cry, you know, sexual harassment from a senator and she didn't have a problem with it. It's interesting. In the Me Too movement, it's kind of a one-way street sometimes. Thus, postmodernism. For now, Judiciary Committee chairperson Senator Chuck Grassley says the committee's vote on Kavanaugh will go through this Thursday. but not if Senate Democrats can help it.

They were out in force yesterday, calling for a delay to the vote, at least until they have full control of Congress. You know, desperate times, desperate measures. It's Tuesday, September 18th. This is the Glenn Beck program. So, welcome to the program. Today is September 18th. This is the day that in ways I have dreaded,

It's weird because I've worked so hard on this book, and today it is released out in the public, and everyone can read it, and I'm very excited about it. And at the same time, I'm sitting here kind of like, you know, if you've ever watched the greatest, you know, the great British bake show or bakeoff or whatever that is, when Paul Hollywood is eating something. And then he's like, and you can't tell if he likes it or not, I kind of feel like that. today. So I urge you to go out today and... Me too. And grab it. Yeah, definitely grab it. Because today's the big day.

It's a day we find out if this thing sells like four copies. You've poured your soul into it for like years. And is this a total? It's going to be a total failure? We don't know. We're going to know today, though. I can't wait to see. Okay. All right. That's not really... Oh yeah. I'll be watching your reactions.

Okay. Thank you, Stu, for the... Okay. Let me, let me The reason why I bring that up here is because that is the search for our unum. In the book I talk about, there's a section where I think it's seven questions that we have to ask ourselves. And it boils down to, is this thing worth saving? Is the Western way of life worth saving? And you have to answer these questions yourself. And if you answer them honestly, you will be able to answer the last question.

So is it worth saving? If it is, we have to pay attention and we have to find our unum. Now, our slogan as a nation has always been e pluribus unum. Let me take the Brett Kavanaugh thing and put this together. What is our unum? What is it that brought people together? What is it that brought people from all over the world to come here? Was it capitalism?

No. Was it the streets that were paved in gold? No, they don't exist. What was it? It was the idea that this is a place that believes in the individual and the Statue of Liberty represents that brazen giant that is going to stand there as a beacon and protect you from the people who want to keep you down. In America, we have the rule of law. Now, have we always done the rule of law? No, look at Jim Crow laws.

It's slavery as we were trying to abolish it. So, no, we haven't always lived up to that, but that has been our ideal. So we were a group of people that said, you know, there's a certain way to live your life. And they happen to find that in the Judeo-Christian laws and writings. The life of Christ, the teachings of Moses. That's what we set ourselves up for. So now you're writing a law. What is that law based on?

On what society says is right and wrong. And you're just codifying what you believe is fair and just. Now, I'm setting this up this way because I'm going to talk to you about the law here with Brett Kavanaugh. And I know people want to say, well, that's the law. We don't have that standard. Yes, we do. The standard of the law is our societal belief of what, of how things should happen and what's fair and what's just codified. It came from us.

It's not this thing that's just floating out there, well, that has nothing to do with me. No, our whole society is supposed to be that way. And we've written it down to make sure it is that way in a court of law. So here's the story with Brett Kavanaugh. Brett Kavanaugh is, he's gone through his hearing, but a woman decides she wants to come out with charges. Let's not judge it for right now. Let's just, let's say she actually believes this happened and Brett Kavanaugh actually believes it didn't happen. Who do we believe?

Well, she had a lie detector test. Well, a lie detector test is not scientific. There are ways to beat lie detector test. And in the case of memories, especially one that's 34 years old, you can actually believe that this has happened. But that doesn't mean it did happen. All right. She comes forward and she says, I can't remember where I was. I can't remember what year it was.

I think it was in the summer. I don't remember the house. I don't remember how I got there. I don't remember anyone that was involved, but I do remember Brett Kavanaugh. I do remember that he put his hand over my mouth and he tried to grope me over my clothes. I believe he was trying to rape me. I believe he was trying to rape me. Another person was there that I can't identify.

She tells years later, 2012, she tells her. doctor, her psychiatrist, about this. And she says, according to the psychiatrist, that there were four guys involved, which is different than what she's saying now. She says that the psychiatrist got that wrong. Okay, hang on. Which one do we believe? Do we believe her or do we believe the psychiatrist? Because both are being presented as people who are credible witnesses. Did the psychiatrist get it wrong because two sounds an awful lot like four or did she get it wrong we don't know but you have to decide that she is more credible than the credible doctor she is trying to hold up and say look i told him about this okay so you have one person who is a chain in this story from 2012 she also

has come forward and said, I also told my husband. Okay. So now you've got her husband. We should also point out that in the, to the husband and also to the therapist, the name Kavanaugh was not included. It just said someone from an elite school. So that's another part of this that's important. Right.

And the only one she knows is Brett Kavanaugh. No, she knew the other guy too. And she named him and that person also has denied it. Right. And all of their friends denied it on. Yes, 65 people. He has 65 minutes. That's not who they are.

Okay. Maybe it is. Maybe it's not. So now that's what we have. Now, on Monday, they're both going to testify in front of Congress. And she's, let's just say, she believes that it happened. And he says, and he believes it didn't happen. Who do we believe?

Do we believe the girl, the woman? Because why? She's a woman? Isn't that kind of talking down to women? Oh, well, she's a cute little woman, and they're always so hurt, and she might have been hurt. No. Equal justice. Now, if you want to get into social justice, which is now postmodernism, okay, well, then you have your decision.

She is somebody who has been oppressed. She's an oppressed class. He is a cisgender male. So, no, we don't listen to the white man. We listen to the woman. Is that our social contract with each other? So let me take a break and I'm going to tell you exactly how to judge this. How do we figure out what's really going on logically, reasonably,

without anyone being outraged, without having to engage in any of that? Because the minute we get angry about it, the minute we start tweeting and getting angry because we feel our back is up against the wall, we add to the chaos that is the goal of the postmodern professor. We add to the chaos which just helps decay our society and the Western way of life. So we mustn't do that. What we must do is use logic and reason and do not go. and do not go over the cliff with the rest of humanity. I'll show you how this works next. We're in our Los Angeles studios.

I'm out here for the week, and I'm sitting here in this... I think that's a staples chair, too. You think this is a nice staples chair, too, isn't it? It's really comfortable. It's super duper comfortable. Yeah, I know. I'm sitting in this office chair,

and I keep reaching back. I told you yesterday, I'm sleeping on this crazy mattress out here and it's just my back is killing me. I keep reaching back to my chair to try to adjust my chair. I can't. It doesn't have any adjustments on it. So congratulations. I have found a chair that I absolutely love.

Let me talk to you a little bit about civil and criminal law. it is based now on our societal norms. We have a court system and we know that we don't want to put innocent people behind bars, right?

So we have, you're innocent until proven guilty. And to vote guilty on a jury, you have to be beyond a reasonable doubt. Now, people will say, well, this isn't a court of law. Well, we have societal norms. And right now, you're talking about. destroying a man's life, destroying it. He is always, if he does not go on, he will always be known, and I believe he's already going to be known by some as a rapist.

That's a pretty big black mark, just as heavy as going to prison. So beyond a reasonable doubt. Now, if you're somebody who says Brett Kavanaugh is guilty, beyond a reasonable doubt, May I ask what you are basing that on? Because what we have is one witness, one person who is making this charge. There's only one. Maybe now, too. Another woman apparently is coming forward and said, I was there too.

Well, wait a minute. If that's true, then that goes against what the first woman has said the whole time. It was just her. So is there another witness? and does that hurt the credibility? There's no detail, there's no place, no year, how she got there, how she got home. My mother died when I was 15. I can tell you the date, the year, what school I was in, what class I was in when I found out.

I can tell you how I got to school. I can tell you everything about that day because it made an impact. Are you really telling me that a woman who felt she was raped? She cannot tell you what year it happened in. She can't tell you what house, where it happened. You should be able to describe the wallpaper. You should know exactly what it is because you were traumatized by it. Okay.

So beyond a reasonable doubt, innocent until proven guilty. But let's just say you're one of those people say, well, that's criminal court. Okay, let's go to the lower court. Let's go to the civil court. This is the one that doesn't need all the evidence. This is the one that convicted O.J. Simpson. Beyond a reasonable doubt, they had enough.

If it doesn't fit, you've got to acquit. So they let a guy that we all now know and admit, he killed his wife. Reasonable doubt. Okay. A very high standard. Let's go to the civil court. Civil court is the preponderance.

of evidence. May I ask what the evidence is? The evidence is one person's word against another. Why does this matter? Why does this matter that we do not judge and destroy based on one person's word against another? Even if that person is wildly credible, even if that person is the Pope, Pope Francis, shows up and he's like, I was there. I saw it. Why do we not take one person's word? Because depending

on how you feel about that person, if you think the person who did it is a madman who's trying to take away all birth control and the accuser is the Pope, who is just the greatest, he's hung the moon and the stars, now it's a personality contest. That's not justice. That's not evidence. And the reason why this is important is, may I ask you, do you want someone to be able to do this to you? Do you want somebody to say, when I was in high school, you did, you raped me, and you will forever be branded as a rapist? The answer to all Americans is no, you don't want that standard. You mustn't, therefore, deviate from our societal standards.

Glenn, back. Mercury. We continue to talk about the Brett Kavanaugh thing, but in a different way than being outraged. This is what my book that came out today, it's available now, addicted to outrage, is about without surrender.

How do we change the dialogue? I'm not going to back away from this Brett Kavanaugh thing. I'm not going to back away from him. I'm not going to accept something that I think is unreasonable. But what society is doing right now is pitting two personalities or two parties against each other. You get nowhere except anger and chaos. That's what you're headed for.

So how do we change the dialogue? We have to disconnect from what society is pushing. and we have to look for the bigger principle, the unum, the thing that brought us together in the first place. And that is the rule of law and a fair society or a society that tries to be fair.

When you start looking at it that way and start arguing about it that way and you start asking your friends, would you want to be judged on this standard? I know you believe her, but based on what? Based on what? And that's an important point to bring up

in that this is being shown as like, okay, everyone aligns on parties here, right? There's lots of Republicans saying Kavanaugh didn't do it and lots of Democrats saying that he did, right? But these are not equal cases. There are a million reasons to be skeptical of her claim. It was years and years ago.

She can't remember any of the key details. She, in the only piece of evidence she has, when she told her therapist, the number of assailants is wrong and Kavanaugh wasn't named. You know, she brings it up, And the most importantly, she brings it up in the middle of what is quite possibly the most important sexual assault claim in United States history. We're talking about derailing a Supreme Court justice over it. I mean, you can argue what Clarence Thomas, maybe Bill Clinton.

There's a couple that fall into this. But there's very few that arise at this level. And not only that, it is given to the opposing party two months ago. They hold it. They hold it. If they felt this was credible, they would have taken it forward. Right. And just human nature, right?

When a claim comes up at the absolute best time to knock down one of the biggest things happening in American politics, you start with skepticism, right? So just that is enough, I think, for everybody, if you took parties out of it, to understand you start here with some skepticism. Doesn't mean a claim of assault shouldn't be taken seriously, as we all know. However, on the other side of this, if you're a Democrat and you say, I believe her, you have absolutely nothing to support that. There is not any, unless you have individual personal dealings with this woman and you found her credible over a long period of time, something that, by the way, they throw out all the time during me too. when we had, you know, like we talked about this with Bill O'Reilly. Like we had a long-term relationship with Bill that we had seen him in many different scenarios, and it didn't seem like these things were things that he would have done.

But even, but they dismissed that evidence, whatever evidence do you think that's worth, they dismiss that immediately. But even that, I don't have 100% faith. No. I'm beyond a reasonable doubt. Bill on the air. Right. I'm beyond a reasonable doubt.

You could present evidence and I could go, Bill, we're, we're. Really? Yeah. And if some new evidence popped up, right, like to you go into it. But my point, though, is that unless you know this woman, you have nothing. You have nothing. You have absolutely nothing. And here you are claiming that you believe this person. You can't believe this person with the information we have now. Evidence may come out that may convince you. But there is nothing on the public record that is convincing at this point. It is only partisanship on that side of the argument. Okay. Here's what I, would you do me in favor? Look up the statute of limitations for sexual assault in marriage. Maryland. That's where this apparently happened. Okay, yeah. So we have, let's see. So there's two standards. And I think, of course, you'd see the parties align upon these two standards. If it's felony sexual offense, then there is no statute of limitations. Well, what is a felony sexual offense? He touched her over the clothes. That is what was the right. So I mean, I would, especially as a, what,

17-year-old? Or they? As a 17-year-old, I would assume that this, even as described, if accurate, it would be a misdemeanor offense, which would only have a one-year statute of limitations. Now, let me go back and I'm going to argue principle. Let's not bring in Kavanaugh. Let's not bring in the politics of this. Let's just focus on our unum, the principle that brings us all together, a fair and just society. Why do statute of limitations exist? They exist because it is a well-known and established fact that members,

Memories change. Also, people change. Depending on how but you murder somebody, you rape somebody, there is no statute of limitations. But she is not claiming rape. So the statute of limitations in the state is one year. We are now looking back 37 years. 37 years. We have to look at her memory, his memory.

We have to look at the facts. Well, there are no facts. This is why I wrote in my journal today, you must alert the police another societal norm. You must alert the police. Well, if I was raped, I don't want people to know it. Okay. Then write it down in your diary. This is not talking about the past.

This is talking about right now. What we need to do to fix this society is write these things down. right now. Something happened to you last night. Write it down. Tell a friend. Tell a couple of friends. People that you can trust. Tell the police is the right answer. Always. However, because, you know, you're, maybe you're not ready. Maybe there's other reasons. You must at least write everything down. And I was, you know, especially today, you need to put it somewhere where it can be timestamped with every detail. I don't know. Honestly, it's got to be the police. And I understand that that's very difficult. But I hope this is what we can achieve with Me Too. Right. Right. We can all talk about how I'm glad we got Harvey Weinstein in trouble because he was a dirtbag many years ago. And we can look back and all that stuff looking back. I'm not going to say it's not important. It is. If someone did someone committed a crime, they should be held responsible. But going forward, hopefully the the acceptance of Me Too and people encouraging it and obviously thinking that it's a very positive development for people who did these crimes, hopefully that cures the idea that you can't go to the cops. Because we should go to the cops.

We can get evidence. We can look into it. People get a chance to defend themselves. People get a chance to make the accusations with real evidence to support it. And we can actually figure out who did these things. Now, here is the problem. This is why this makes a difference. How old was Brett Kavanaugh?

How old was he when this happened? What, 17? They think he's 17, but she cannot remember the year. Yeah, she said she thinks. It is sophomore year. She thinks. And she thinks. She thinks it was 1982.

But she thinks. She certainly can't get the month right, which is really tough for a defense, right? If Brett Kavanaugh went on vacation to Europe for six weeks in the summer she's talking about, it would still mean nothing to the case. Because she'd say it happened in one of the other weeks. So, I mean, there's literally no way he could defend this claim. So he's 17. Could be 16. Could be 18.

Could be 15. We have no idea she does not remember the year. She doesn't remember the month. Let's just say he's 17. If it is a sexual assault, not felony, misdemeanor over the close, what does that mean? It means most likely he would be tried as a juvenile. Now, why do we have juvenile court? We have juvenile court for this one reason, because we, as a juvenile,

a society feel that people make mistakes and they even do things like murder. And it needs to be tried as a child. It needs to be tried as someone under 18. Because even murder our society feels, let's not destroy their whole life. Let's give them a chance because we all make mistakes. I mean, I didn't murder anybody. but that's the most extreme case. We all make mistakes.

It shouldn't haunt them the rest of the world or the rest of their lives. So what happens to that record? It's sealed. Why is it sealed? Because we know the pasts of your childhood, the past and the mistakes that you made at 17 and under, can be opened up and used against you when that was something that doesn't represent who you are

at this time. It's very unfair to anyone. Accuser, the victim, and the perpetrator. If you're a kid and you're not allowed your day in court, with real evidence, close

up to it, a year in Maryland, so you know all of the details. You can go and reconstruct it. 37 years later, you can't. So we have the Statue of Libertations. We also have criminal justice. We also have sealed documents. And why do we seal those documents?

Those documents can be seen if you start to murder people again. But not by the public. We believe as a society, and this is why we codified this, that what you do as a kid, as long as you've changed your way, you go to jail. Why? punishment, but also to change your ways in hopes that you will get out and you will be a better person that never does that again. Everyone in his life, everyone in his life says that's not him.

That's not him. I've dated him. I dated him at the time. That's not him. He wouldn't do that. All indications, he lives an honorable life. Well, isn't that what? we want from our justice system.

Justice didn't happen back then because she didn't report it for whatever reason. No blame on her. She just didn't report it. You lose the ability to inflict or to demand justice on some things if you don't report it. so now we're taking a guy who if she would have reported it would have served his time would have changed which he did lived a clean life would it be fair for us to unseal those documents and say oh by the way did you know that he murdered someone did you know that he raped someone that's that's not what she's charging she's charging

sexual assault, which would have been handled by the courts. He would have paid his price. He would have hopefully changed and led the life that he has led. What justice is done here? Seriously, what justice has done? If it was something that had no statute of limitations, rape, murder, maybe you could argue it. Maybe.

But the part of the point of justice. is to rehabilitate. There's no indication he's ever been. He's not, he's like this. No, no. And, you know, it's a, it's a situation where you have, you have a person who's gone through, you know, this is, this is obviously, I mean, this is a guy who had never dealt with any of this stuff. He was not a political figure. He's not an elected official. So his family has never dealt with any of this. And all of a sudden, you know, he's being called a rapist with no evidence at all. And, you know, the reason why you want to, you want to go to the police.

and have a legal view of these things early is because you can find evidence and prove things. Prove. Remember the word, prove. Has this woman proved anything? I mean, it's insane to think that. She hasn't presented any reason unless you know her personally, maybe, and just find her credible, that you would believe her.

And what is the hearing on Monday going to do? And it's just a, here's a public performance test. That's it. Will Kavanaugh stumble? Will he say something the wrong way and freeze something badly? Will she cry? Will she be sympathetic? Will he be sweating? And now that Supreme Court seat is going to come down to a little performance theater.

It's insane. Those, that is not evidence. That is not evidence. You ask yourself and ask your neighbors. Do you want this standard? And they'll say, well, I didn't. Doesn't matter. Because we seem to be in an ever-changing world.

Do you want this for you or your? children. The answer, anyone who answers honestly, will say no. That's our Unum. Car Shield is our sponsor this half hour. Car Shield is the best place.

bill. The reason why I don't know the exact price, I don't remember it, is because I didn't have to pay it. I just remember going, wait, what? And they said, don't don't call me, call car shield. Call car shield. Have you called car shield?

and what they are officially launching nationwide in 2020. And it's terrifying. It's already happening. People are already going to jail. People are already being oppressed. They've rounded up a million people and put them behind bars and they're building more re-education camps. And it's all based on an algorithm of who you are. Well, that algorithm

is already here in America. So far, the government's not doing anything about it, but we have it. And I want to show it to you when we come back.

I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just brainstorming here, throw all the stuff up. Let's say he's 77 years old and, and he's in government. and he is a Marxist that wants to turn the United States into land of Che Guevara

and free money. So far, this is really good, right? Now, who do we get? Let's see, we get Rosam Barno, Sarah Silverman, and Bernie Sanders. So it just lines up. So Silverman meets Sanders,

as part of, let's say, she's doing a new show. And they meet at the Senate office building, where all these senators are there, including Bernie Sanders. And they start to do an interview. Listen, this is how it goes. We can't even use dirty words. This is the United States Senate.

I can't? No, the United States Senate. We just starve little children. We go bomb houses and buses of children. We give tax breaks to believe us, but we don't use dirty words. No, not the S word. word that means poop. That's what we don't do that.

Okay, see where I'm going with this? See where I'm going? Okay, so he's talking about, you know, we starve children and death and we bomb people. And it's so funny. Then at some point I see in this scene, now we just go with me. This, I'm just throwing it out there.

Sandra says, use your indoor voice because you're too loud. Okay. And then he says, we can't even use these dirty words as the United States sooner. I can't. No, of course not. We just starve children and, and, and, and, and we blow up buses of children. Because remember when we did that, oh, it would be so funny when people remember how we blow up buses of children. And then we give tax breaks to billionaires and stuff like that. Boy, this is going to be, I'm giving this to you as my free gift, America. If you're a comedian, maybe you're, maybe you're Sarah Silverman. Celebrity voice impersonated. And, and maybe you want to do this. I think.

correct me if I'm wrong. I think there's a lot of money to be made off of the hatred for Donald Trump. I just think you could just get rich right now. Maybe Borac could do that. Oh, I know. Michelle Wolf. Now, no, if she did it, she's not funny. Then she'd probably get a show and then be canceled right away. Okay, scratch the Michelle Wolf idea, but pretty much everybody else. I mean, imagine if they used all this talent and energy trying to find ways to actually be funny what they could accomplish.

It's Tuesday, September 18th. This is the Glenn Beck program. Do you think that's much different than what Bernie Sanders actually believes? No. Yeah, I don't either. Not at all. Not on either.

Yeah, that's pretty much it. I mean, it's interesting. This is a good moment, I guess, for this, because you have been saying this forever and I think you laid out in the book really well and a lot of people understandably have not been able to get on the same page with you on this

I'm putting that gently. You're talking about addicted outrage available everywhere today go buy a copy. Yes. People translate when you're talking about changing the way we speak changing the way we attempt to

win people over to our point of view or to just converse with them. People see that as a surrender, right? You're just giving up. You're surrendering the left. They're to keep hitting you in the face. And when you hear things like this Bernie Sanders clip today, I mean, it really highlights it.

This is not a person who's looking to find common ground with you on the Bill of Rights. Right. This is not a person who's looking to say, you know what, capitalism's pretty darn good and we've come a long way. This is a person who wants to tear down the foundations of this country. I want you to know. I don't include anybody in Washington. in that. And what I'm saying about, hey, we've got to come back together. We have to find our

unum. I don't include anyone in Washington. Because if they actually believed in the Bill of Rights and the Constitution, they would take their oath seriously and they'd already be protecting it. But they're not protecting or defending. They're tearing it apart. So I don't include people in politics. I also wouldn't include people who are, you know, radical Marxists, who are openly moving us down the postmodern world. You know, if you're going down that road, the postmodernist goal is deconstruction to deconstruct the Western world.

My thought is I'm looking for the people who don't want to do that. Or maybe at some point did, but it was more in theory. and now they're seeing, oh my gosh, everything is going to be taken apart. I mean, there's not going to be society. The line keeps moving. We had dinner last night in a private place with, I would say, a fairly famous person last night. Would you say that? Somebody that pretty much everybody knows didn't have it in a public place because it wouldn't go well for him, you know, just for me.

it just wouldn't go well. However, now, I'm not sure if this person means it, because this person is a, somebody way on the other side, has been. But spoke of, and not using these words, pivot points, pivot points of seeing my son born and seeing what's happening in the world, seeing my son go to school and then going, wait a minute, wait a minute, this isn't right. Seeing my son, I mean, I don't know how many times this person said, there's not going to be a country left for my son because it's all coming undone. And I said to this person, yeah, it's kind of hard not to say, yeah, that's what you were trying to do.

and the person again talked about pivot points. That person I can have a conversation with. I don't necessarily know if I'm going to embrace because I don't know who's playing a game and who's not. But I'm willing to have conversations with and then watch actions. And this person said, we've been taking apart the columns and arguing about the columns of the structure the whole time. And none of us have paid any attention to the foundation. And everything in me, everything in me, wanted to stand up from the table and say, I've been talking about the foundation, the principles of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution.

And so have millions of others for years, but nobody wanted to talk about that. But I didn't. Instead, I said, you're exactly right. So what is that foundation? Well, a bill of rights in the Constitution. I didn't need to point at him and do that. He was already there. Those are the people and those people are going to become more and more common.

Now, not in the political realm and not those who see everything through the eyes of politics, but I do believe more will wake up. up. This person said, I mean, I don't want to, I don't want to quote this person at all. Can you characterize it all the things when we were standing in the kitchen and we're all like, are you willing to say that out loud? Yeah, we should, we should be careful here. But many of the complaints, I would say, that the right has had over, you know, a myriad of issues. were echoed from someone prominent on the other side. And there's a common frustration, I think, between, you know, this audience and a lot of people who look at the way the world has been twisted.

And the line that is moving every day. what you said, you know, for instance, Obama was not pro-gay marriage. It was Joe Biden that forced him into that position. He's alerted it out. Right. So he wasn't pro-gay marriage. He probably was, but he was not willing to say it. Right.

Now, Barack Obama should be viewed as in a postmodern world as an oppressor because he wasn't for gay marriage. If you say something today and the standard from the postmodern left moves, you now have to be 100% in lockstep and you now have to adopt that one too. And this one and the next one and the next one and it's constantly moving. That's not reasonable. Yeah, and you go into this a lot in the book. But it's it's like the philosophical underpinnings of of all the weirdness, right? Like, you know how you could just get if you're like, what are you talking about?

You need a safe space. What are you talking about you need? There's 180 genders. What do you mean? Where did this come from? Why all of a sudden, if, if I'm in 2016, I'm the worst hate monger in the universe for opposing gay marriage. But in 2011, you know, Barack Obama, the most liberal guy, you know,

the president of the United States, remember, he ran to the left of Hillary. Clinton when he won in 2008. And he was, he said marriage is between a man and a woman. How in that short of a period of time can it go from completely acceptable for a hard left person in our mainstream politics, Barack Obama, to have that position? And then on, and then just a few years later, it's insane for anyone. In fact, you can't even be a liberal and, and hold the position Barack Obama had five years

earlier, let alone a conservative. And that, that, that is so jarring. to everyone and it feels like the whole world is spitting out of control and we do one of, you know, a couple different things. We get really annoyed at it, outraged, right? We laugh at it and mock it and there are understandable

impulses, but the book outlines what the philosophy is behind why that's happening. It's intentional. And why? I mean, I can say this now in the strongest terms and I can back it up. You and Pat always were like, I, you know, Glenn, I

love the heart of this. I love it, but I just feel like it's a surrender. Now I can fully say, because it took two years of research and trying to line it all up, it's not a surrender. It's a path to win. It's a path to save the Republic. It's not a surrender. You do not change your principles.

You do not stop engaging. You engage differently. Okay, you have to begin to engage differently. And if you understand the underlying philosophy of postmodernism, what is it? In a nutshell, it's deconstruct. Deconstruct what? Everything about the Western way of life. All the hierarchy, all the patriarchy, everything, science, mathematics.

Don't get angry when somebody says, math is racist. Don't be confused. Of course it's racist to them because their job, their philosophy, is to deconstruct anything that helps prop up or build the Western way of life. That includes math. So you've got to take math and science out. And that's what's scaring so many people who were Uber left. They thought there would be reason, but there's never reason in radicals like this. There's never reason.

This is why communism always ends the same way. We have a guy who's on our podcast this weekend, Michael Reckinwald. Amazing. He was a communist. He was a communist postmodernist professor. Now, he deconstructed the English language and literature, but he wasn't, he didn't buy into the whole postmodernism crap. He tolerated it and understood it.

used it in some cases. But he describes himself as a libertarian communist. I asked him, what the hell is a libertarian? That's not possible. It's an oxymoron. He said, no, it's a communist in theory. I think we can do it right next time. He said, but as I see what's happening now, I realize we're not going to do it right.

This is going to end in millions dead. If we just lump everyone together and we're swinging back at, people who are trying to deconstruct and cause chaos, we lose our principles, we lose our reason, which is what they're trying to destroy, reason, science, thinking things through. If you're angry, you cannot reason. And you've got to reason. And if you don't, if you just lash back, you actually aid the enemy in trying to destroy us. So like last hour we talked about Brett Kavanaugh.

I showed you how to argue for Brett Kavanaugh. But it's not arguing for Brett Kavanaugh. It's not picking aside. It's showing what brought us together in the first place, which is our principle of fair and equal justice. We all want to live in a fair society. We all want justice. Okay. So let's apply those principles to the Judge Kavanaugh mess.

how do we navigate through those principles? That is not surrender. That is the winning path. The path we're on now is swing back and call them names. That is the path to chaos. You can read all about this. The book went on sale today. It's in bookstores everywhere.

I urge you to pick it up. Share it with a friend. It has been written in a way that should appeal to anybody who is reasonable. Even if they don't like me, they, I think, will be able to tolerate this enough because I wrote it with them in mind and you in mind. So it's a very different book,

different than anything else I've ever written. And I believe in this path of not, I hate to say the word winning. Saving the West, saving our children, because that's what it's about. All right. Sponsored this half hour is my Patriot Supply. You know, one of the reasons, one of the reasons why we couldn't, we didn't do anything in Puerto Rico is not because of the president and not because we don't see them as Americans, but because there were three major hurricanes and a massive wildfire in California, all in the same summer.

And FEMA had nothing left. no scenario that FEMA has ever put together includes three major hurricanes and a major wildfire. That's why. So now what does that mean? That means when things really get bad, they're not going to be there. You need to have your own survival tools. You need to rely on somebody that can help you put them together so you don't have to rely on anyone when the time comes. They have helped hardworking Americans just like you prepare.

and become more self-reliant over a decade. They sell hundreds of items, emergency survival food kits, gravity-powered water filtration systems, which are off the charts, great. Mypatriotsupply.com. Go there now. Mypatriotsupply.com.

Could be a category four hurricane, an earthquake, wildfire, cyber attacks. God, only know. You know what? Martians could come down, and I wouldn't be surprised at this point. And if the Martians come down,

I could predict what will have. happen. The stores at the grocery stores, all the shelves will be empty. Don't do it. Just go to mypatriotsupply.com right now. Mypatriotsupply.com. So have you been following the the sunspot solar observatory? A little bit. A little bit. What do you know? There's some solar observatory. I mean, doesn't that bother you the first thing is like, don't look directly at the sun. We've got a giant telescope looking directly at the sun. And it closed down without

explanation. A lot of people jumped to. It's got to be aliens. Got to be sunspots. We're all about to die. And that was kind of the conspiracy theory that went around. One of the defenses of it, there was another nearby facility that was also evacuated. They had nothing to do with solar type of

studies. And then I lost track of the story. I would say is where I am right now. So the one, the one thing you left out is it wasn't just closed down. It was closed down quickly. And it was closed down by Black Hawk helicopters.

Yeah, I don't get into that. Yeah. Right. And the FBI and Black Hawk helicopters arrived at the location. They called the local sheriff and said, we need you to put a perimeter around this place. It was the FBI and Black Hawk helicopters that came and shut this thing down. Okay. Why is?

the question. Okay, couple of things and you kind of alluded to them, and I don't believe any of these. But I want to tell you what people have said. Then I want to tell you what the FBI has just come. I'm sorry, law enforcement officials have just come out and said, which is supposed to calm our nerves, but it doesn't, to me at least, I just read it to stew off air to calm your nerves? No. No. No. I actually wish it was aliens or sunspots. And then I'll tell you what I think it is. but people are saying that this observatory caught proof of aliens. Okay, I don't believe that. Maybe.

I mean, I believe in aliens, but I don't believe that. They also said maybe they found that it was a, you know, there was a solar flare and it's going to knock out everything. And, you know, we're going to have this big thing that hasn't happened since 1860, which would, we'd all starve to death. I also don't believe that because why only this observatory? What they said to calm your fears. Next. Back. Mercury.

If you're a long time listening to the program, you know that I'm a big fan of Orson Welles. In fact, Orson Wells is the reason, one of the reasons why I wanted to do my job. I started listening to him and others, not just War of the Worlds, but the shadow, which he played. Because radio can, radio can be so descriptive, and it's a partnership. It's a partnership between me and you. As I describe things to you, you can see them. smell them, they become real because you're using your imagination. You're not just using me. You're partnering with me and creating these images in your head. I love that. People are,

people just think that, oh, you know, people back in 1929, they were old timey and they thought, you know, Martians were coming and, uh, and they were going to, you know, destroy the world. How could they be so stupid? Well, if you actually know, actually it's not in 1929, it's 1939, If you actually know what was happening in America at the time and why that story was selected by Wells to be a broadcast, it was because we had heard of aliens coming here to destroy us. Germans that were coming from a far distant land and they were going to destroy us with all of these super weapons that they were building. So when people heard an invasion, when they heard super weapons and heat rays and everything else, that was already in their psyche. And so it didn't take a lot to push people into hysteria because they didn't know what was true. They didn't know what wasn't true.

They trusted people more than we trust people now. And so it became real to them. Let me talk to you about aliens for a second. how many of us 20 years ago would have been shocked if all of a sudden the government came out and said oh by the way

there's alien life and I don't mean it's like living in a rock on Mars I mean it's it's got four legs 16 eyes and we've had a couple of visitors in the Oval Office how many of us would have been

wait wait what and your world would fall apart today if you said and it's got 16 eyes you'd be like oh Bernie Sanders No, I mean, real aliens have been in the Oval Office. Oh. What'd they say?

Right? Would you be, would your world fall apart if you found out that aliens were real? I wouldn't. But yours, too? I think most people's world would fall. I mean, yes, there would be panic because the news would be like, ah, aliens. Well, but they do that about everything. Yeah, they do that.

We're so constantly on alert for every huge problem. Every little problem turns into a huge one. So I think there would be people that would be like, oh, do they bring their vaporizing gun? Because, oh, I'm tired of this. I mean, you get to the point where you're almost, almost praying for destruction. Okay. So, so let me, let me tell you now that I'm going to read to you the story about the closing of the sunspot solar observatory. Now, this is from a credible source.

It's from the Kansas City Star. They reported on it. and they're basically saying, you know, there's not aliens and we're pretty sure there's not sun spots that are going to knock us all out back to the Stone Age. Let me read this. The group that manages the facility announced on the observatory's Facebook page Sunday that had been cooperating with an ongoing law enforcement investigation of criminal activity that occurred at Sacramento Peak. That's where the observatory is. Now, remember, what this story is, is that Black Hawk helicopter. and the FBI shut this observatory down, told everybody you have to leave and you have to leave

right now, get out of your desk and leave. People who were asked to leave, actually, I thought it was the FBI, but it wasn't. It was the people that were asked to leave called the sheriff and said to the sheriff, we're being asked to leave. I don't know why, but can you guys come and just watch this observe? Because they're not giving us any answers. So it was the people that were being asked at the observatory to leave that were very uncomfortable with this. Now, the next question is, what does it take to get the Black Hawk helicopter keys thrown your way?

I mean, it's not like, hey, there's something happening up at the Observatory. Can we just take the Black Hawk? It's a lot faster. That doesn't happen. Not in U.S. airspace. A Black Hawk helicopter comes and supports the FBI? I don't know if you know this, but the FBI doesn't have the keys to one of those. So we know that Black Hawk helicopter, at least one, accompanied the FBI.

They told everybody to leave. Now, law enforcement saying is they were cooperating with an ongoing law enforcement investigation of criminal activity that occurred at Sacramento Peak. What kind of criminal activity would that have to be? During that time, said the statement from the Association of, of universities for research in astronomy, we became concerned that a suspect in the investigation potentially posed a threat to the safety of local staff and residents. For this reason, we temporary vacated the facility

and ceased science activities at this location. Okay, so somebody who was investigating there, officials said very little about why the observatory near Almagardo, I guess, Alamagardo was shut down. Local law enforcement officials say the FBI was involved in the closure, which the feds have not confirmed or denied. It was our decision to evacuate the facility.

This is the scientist. We made the decision to evacuate the facility. I'm actually not sure when the facility was vacated, but it will stay vacated until further notice. According to the newspaper, Benny House, the sheriff of the county, said the FBI, was involved in what he described as an elaborate shutdown process and said the FBI is refusing to tell us what is going on. There was a black hawk helicopter, I'm still quoting, a bunch of people around antennas and work crews on towers, but no one would tell us anything.

Okay. Now, this goes to a theory that is out and it seems reasonable that somebody was possibly working for the Russians or this case, the main theory is the Chinese and they are they use those antennas and the the the infrastructure to hack into our governmental systems and be able to ride on the backbone and be able to thwart some of our government systems that makes sense here and that would explain a blackhawk helicopter and everything else I think he told the albuquerque journal his department got a call from folks that work at the laboratory asking if we could send a deputy to stand by while they were evacuating. The CNET noted that the U.S. military built the observatory in 1947 when it realized the sun could interfere with radio communications. The National Science Foundation ran the facility until the 1960s

until this year when operation was transferred to ORA and the New Mexico State University. The statement from ORA on Sunday said the observatory was closed, quote, based on the logistical challenges associated with protecting personnel at such a remote location. Okay. And the need for expedious response from the potential threat. What threat? ORA determined that moving the small number of on-site staff and residents off of the mountain was the most prudent and effective action to ensure their safety.

The statement did not explain the criminal activity allegedly discovered at the observatory or mention anything about arrests. It did acknowledge how the lack of communication with the facility was vacated and it was concerning and frustrating for some. However, quoting, our desire to provide additional information had to be balanced against the risk that if spread at the time, the news would alert the suspect and impede law enforcement investigation. That risk was one we could not take, said the statement.

Well, I think the Black Hawk helicopter might have alerted him too. the observatory's quoting the observatory staff of about nine employees should be back at work this week and it shouldn't take long for nearby residents to be back in their home wait you not only the facility but you told everybody that lives nearby they needed to leave their home too what what kind of danger are we talking about? This is a weird story. This is bizarre. It's a weird story.

You know, it's a lot of times a weird story like this winds up in three weeks without fan welfare to have some sort of just, you know, that's what they want you to believe. Right. Some sort of description that makes it a lot more boring. Yes. I mean, this happens often and you'll find out, okay, well, that

kind of makes sense and it wasn't a big deal. Now, of course, the conspiracy theory theorists, and who knows, maybe they're right. this time would say, well, they just, you know, they're just trying to hide it. And maybe that's, you know, who knows. But this one, I can't even come up with the legitimate, like, explanation that makes me think it's not something really bad. Right. There's not a, there's not an obvious to me, at least explanation where it's like, oh, well, yeah, they, really big roach problem, you know. I mean, it was just like, ah, right. Everywhere. And there's crunch, crunch, crunch,

everywhere you walk just evacuate the place. Like, it doesn't, there's not that. No. You don't, call in a black hawk for that. Right. Unless they're really big bugs. Right. And I don't think it's, you remember that giant marshmallow man. He's back. I don't think it's that either.

No, no. I think it is probably something to do with hacking. White Sands is right there. So it's not far from white sands. But again, I go back to the keys of a black hawk. That's not something you just take out for a spin over U.S. in U.S. airspace. involved in an operation training sure not involved with the FBI and what kind of threat

that was possibly working there were they not trying to tip off but they come with a black hawk and what kind of threat could pose a danger to everyone on the mountain it's just bizarre I just don't, I don't think I need to say this. Something's not right. But I will tell you this. I'm actually hoping for the alien thing. Really? Yes, I am.

Because don't you think there is a better chance? Let me ask you. Two scenarios. One. All of a sudden, everybody in Washington starts to make sense. Everybody's like, you know, oh my gosh, where have I been? I'm sorry. I don't know.

It must have been drinking or I had, you know, some of those Rosanne sleeping pills. and I've just been crazy for a while. I don't know what happened. Okay, and they start to make sense. Is that more likely than aliens invade, and they say, people of Earth, we've been observing you, and you're beginning to think that mathematics is racist. We're here to control your planet,

because mathematics and science is not racist. An alien dictatorship to get rid of our nonsense. It just says, look, we're just here because we haven't lost common sense. It's what built this ship. And we think you need some help. I think there's a better chance that friendly aliens come that are rooted in common sense than anyone in Washington finding it. So you want to buy a home? You want to refinance your home.

I highly highly highly recommend refinancing your home because interest rates are going up Stu, before I forget Did Donald Trump put another $200 billion tariff yesterday?

Just the $200 billion though No, but he said if they react he'll do another 200, he'll do more And of course they're going to respond as well This is not good The current estimate by the way for think of all the hard work that was done on this tax bill right i mean they got this thing through it was the main legislative accomplishment right of the last two years uh the tariffs have now reversed

half of it oh my gosh and that does not include the coming chinese retribution which they obviously will fire back at the other side it's undone half of the tax bill and by the way has redistributed it right like i no it's got yeah no it's not this is not this is whole Horrible. Horrible. Anyway, it's not going to, if, if we kill the growth, we are going to pay a very high price. We're already paying a high price with inflation. Now, if you have an adjustable mortgage, it's going to be adjusted and it ain't going down.

You know, again, it's by far the worst part of his presidency. You know, like people will complain about things like, you know, his actions and the way he talks and, you know, all that. And then that's, we've discussed that.

But policy-wise, I mean, the trade stuff has been a horror show. It's been a horror show. It's by far the worst part of his presidency when it comes to policy. And he is- be the thing that that that uh and does everything. Yeah. We've cut the, again, half of the tax cuts,

the benefits of them have now been erased. You've raised it in taxes on, on people buying things. Uh, and, you know, we've cost a lot of jobs. We don't know the total number yet,

but they are adding up fast. These industries that are affected by these tariffs are getting killed. The, all four favors for, you know, the chosen one. The government is picking winners and losers. Something we've never liked.

These are tax. Rakes on the American people. On the lowest. By Republican president. On the lowest. Because it is China. Yeah. What are you buying it?

Yeah, it's the inexpensive goods that you're buying from China. It's taxes on the lowest. Glenn. Back. Mercury. Hey, it's Glenn. And I want to tell you about something that you should either end your day with or start your morning with. And that is, the news and why it matters.

If you like this show, you're going to love the news and why. It matters. It's a bunch of us that all get together at the end of the day and just talk about the stories that matter to you and your life. The news and why it matters. Look for it now, wherever you download your favorite podcast. Hey, have you found yourself not worrying about enough stuff? I mean, are you thinking yourself, you know what, Glenn? I mean, yes, the world is a mess, but I'm pretty optimistic. Things are looking okay today. I feel pretty good. Well, soon you won't, because I'm here to give you some news about Russia. A Russia military plane shot down over the coast of Syria.

Fifteen Russians were killed. The Russian turboprop plane was conducting electronic reconnaissance when suddenly it came under attack by what it called at the time, quote, enemy missiles. Okay, that's not good. now before you start freaking out we neither did this nor are we being blamed for it somebody else

I think you can imagine the worldwide freakout that would be ensuing right now if this accident had been between the US and Russia but it wasn't just imagine what would be happening right now if one of our planes inadvertently shot down you know 15 Russian boys and killed them or if

the situation was reversed, I think we'd be calling for blood. Hopefully that won't happen. But we had nothing to do with this, but that's not the dispute. The Russians described this as enemy missiles. Where are they coming from? Well, it turns out that Russia's plane was actually shot down by their ally, the Assad regime. It was a mistake. Syrian S-200 battery hit the plane as it was returning to a military base used by the Russians in North Syria. Now here's why this is troubling. It's where it becomes interesting and perhaps a little bit frightening. At the same time the Syrian missiles were taking out Russia's plane,

the reason why they were shooting is because four Israeli F-16 fighter jets were striking targets near the Russian base in northern Syria. Russia is livid. they're calling Israel's actions, quote, deliberately, a deliberate and a hostile provocation. Oh, I love it when Russia starts using language. It's so hot. The implication here is that the Israeli jets were masking their position behind the Russian plane, in effect, using it as cover to commence their bombing run.

But as the Russians are accusing Israel of using one of its planes as cover, Iran is doing exactly the same thing with their forces near the Russian military bases. Russian assets are among some of the most heavily protected areas in Syria. They're the hardest to penetrate. Iranian forces from the Iranian Republican Guard Corps and Hezbollah are basing all of their troops with Russia's approval near Russian bases. It's the perfect protection and security to guarantee for Iran to operate inside of Syria directly on Israel's borders.

The downing of this plane is tragic, but it also shows how dangerously close the world is to a world war. The situation in Syria is not sustainable. Iran wants control over Syria and Russia is helping them do it. Israel knows this and cannot let it happen. This, of course, is maintained. And if it is, the incident is not. not going to be the last.

If Russia begins actively targeting Israeli jets from striking Hezbollah and Iranian forces, how long do you think Israel will allow that? How long will we allow that? This situation is a powder keg. Anything could set it off. But you know what? You and I, we're not going to do anything about it. We can't do anything about it.

So now that you know the information, let it go. Let it go. It's Tuesday, September 18th. This is the Glenn Beck program. Hello, Stu. Mr. Beck. Welcome to the program. Thank you.

I've been here for a couple of hours, but I appreciate your welcome. I didn't even notice earlier, but welcome. I thought you just sat down. It's good. Okay. I want to give you a story here about the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. There's a couple of economists up there. and they have taught machines to guess a person's income, political ideology, race, education, and gender based on either their media habits, their consumer behavior, or their social and political beliefs.

Even how they spend time. Okay. So this is like one of these algorithms you see on social networks, right? Where you can say they're taking all of your information, the things you buy, the things you do, and trying to figure out maybe what your political leanings are. or other characteristics about you. Correct. Now, they just tested this. And they've omitted variables that would have been a dead giveaway.

For instance, if, you know, we're predicting whether somebody's liberal or conservative, you can't use the question, well, what party is you vote for? Right. Okay. All right. Now, some of the things are obvious. And some of them aren't. Okay.

Spending predicts gender, they say, with almost perfect accuracy. Now, that's amazing. Now, it's not on something, I mean, like, when's the last time we went out? Wait, we're at a time where our genitals don't predict it with perfect certainty. But our spending habits can? Yes. Okay. They're saying that women will buy after shave or shaving lotion, but not as much as a man will.

Okay, so that's kind of a little dicey there. But men rarely go out and buy mascara. Okay. Well, that's, yeah. Okay. Yeah. Again, rarely. Rarely. You're not being judgmental, I know, when you say that.

Oh, no. Men who buy mascara, I think they're very manly. And if they want to be manly or very feminine, if they want to be. You know, the whole thing is fluids, too. All makeup ability is equal. Yes. Yes. Okay. In the world of television, some of the top ten predictors of whiteness, if you are white, Top 10 screams you're white

Number one As is that this is not you do a countdown You're doing a countdown you're starting at number one Come on Casey All right Number four The Kentucky Derby Okay

Horse racing I would say A whiteish sport Right Okay all right Number three The Big Bang Theory Yeah okay I mean, I can see that.

Maybe? I guess, yeah. American Pickers, number two. Hmm. Interesting. People, that's a strange. I don't know why. Yeah.

I don't know why. Again, I wouldn't, you know, there's certain shows that obviously target certain communities, right? I don't know that American Pickers targets white people, but I don't, I wouldn't say it's target as another. It's not like a... No, it's just Americans. Maybe, maybe.

Not even that. It's just, you know, the American culture. And maybe that's what it is. Maybe, you know, you know, We look back on, you know, our childhoods and things with fondness in culture. You know, when they find an old sign of something, we're like, oh, that's cool. I'm not sure that's the same for the African American community. Sure.

You know, so maybe that's what it is. Number one, Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. What? Did you watch Rudolph the Red Nose Rangier? That's the number one predictor on television. Well, it's because you're white. Is it because I'm white? It's because you're white.

I mean, I would say it was because... What's the snowman? He's white. white. Santa. He's white. Well, so is the abominable snowman. He's white, but not a good positive character. This is an entirely white story. Most of the beginning at least.

Well, excuse me. The abominable. Spoiler, he turns around in that one. You know, the monster is the best part of that story. I think Santa's a bigger monster. Oh, Santa's a jerk in that thing. I hate, I'm beginning to hate that thing. I watch it because, oh, but every time I watch it, I look at my wife and I'm like, how was this ever cool? How was this ever good?

I love it. I mean, I love it. I absolutely love Rudolph the Red Nose Ranger, but that is a weird part of it. It's, Santa is portrayed in that movie differently than in every other movie about Santa Claus, right? I mean, you know, it's, he's such, he's such a jerk to, uh, to Rudolph. He's a jerk to his dad. I mean, his dad. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's a blitz and or blitz and whatever it is. Like, you know, very disliked. Hey, you know, hey, you're like, like, like, When he finds out, hey, your kid's got something a little bit different than him. You should be ashamed of yourself. It's not the way you handle that situation, Santa. And he's really... And then when he goes to the elf practice? I mean, here these guys, they're just singing for him.

That's all they're doing is singing for him. And he's like, I'm good enough. Yeah. What a jerk. Yeah, he doesn't... He's a bad boss. He's wildly politically incorrect on all the things that I think you should be politically correct on. You know, let's be decent to each other.

Oh, he's got a... red nose. He's a leper. Put him on a colony. That's crazy. Send him to an island. Anyway. He's not sure. Look, everyone has a bad day. Maybe he had a couple of bad weeks.

You know, he wasn't going to be able to... Christmas was almost cancelled. He's had a lot of stress going on at the time. Maybe give him a break. Certainly the rest of his body of work is positive. I would like to see... I'd like to see Rudolph the Red Nose Raneer the pivot point.

I'd like to see the Santa pivot point. Well, the Santa pivot point is clear. I'd like to... The Santa pivot point is once... He's a utility to Santa. Once Rudolph can do something for Santa, all of the sudden, he's won over by him. I know. I know.

I mean, remember... I hate that. I remember the guy, you know, Rudolph is flying better than all of the other reindeer at this time when they're young. They're doing the reindeer games. He's the one kicking butt. And because his nose is a little different, he gets tossed off to some island with a bunch of misfit toys.

It's not right. It's not right. And look, you know, we can look back at history and hold this against him forever. I think the statute of limitations probably run out on this case as well. I don't know. There's a woman that's come out on Santa. Oh, no. Yeah. When Santa was in high school. Oh, no. Yeah. He raped her. Full on rape. Well, he was young. He was athletic. He was, you know, he was, you know. Oh, okay. This is before he started to drink and get fat and everything else. He was a football player and he just out and out raped her. This is sad. This is forgetting.

We've left. Remember the little Dolly? No, no. We've left cute analysis of TV special Ville. That was her. And we've entered into creepy film. I swear to you. I swear to you,

Dolly was raped by that fat man. And I know because I'm a Charlie in the box. All right. I'm just saying. All right. So now here are the top 10 items. Oh, wait, wait, wait. Let me get to this first.

So this will tell you if you're white on consumer products. Okay. Okay. You own a pet is number one. That's like Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. If you watch that and you watched it with your pet, you are the whitest white man alive. That's interesting. Wait, wait, so minorities don't own pets?

Is there a difference in minority? I would like to hear from, I'd like to, can you look at what I'm going for? Now, I said, now, I don't know if this is true or if this was a, joke on me, but I had a Jewish friend come over to my house and I have two German shepherds. And he wasn't happy about that. And I kind of like, I was like, oh, yeah, yeah, you know, it's probably pretty, pretty bad. And I've heard from him, so this is only just him. But he said, yeah, Jewish people don't usually have dogs. We don't like dogs. Now, I don't know if that's from the Holocaust or, you know, from, I don't know when, but he said, we don't, we don't usually have

pets. This is I would say pretty revealing. The pet ownership rates, this is at 2011, the most recently available number, by race ethnicity. Black, 22% own pets. Asian, 27%.

Hispanic, 40% own pets. White, 61%. It is a white thing, isn't it? We cannot give up that slave thing. they're like we have to release our people I'm getting a dog then I'm getting a dog and I'm going to put a chain around his neck okay wow that's what it is that's deep I've nailed it there wow I think I nailed it there

that will be taught in universities all across America within the next 10 days I would not be surprised at all if there's a liberal professor who's done that exact rant in front of a class I can guarantee you why do you think it's three times as high for whites because they see these pets as slaves. They can boss them around. They can put them in cages.

They can feed them whenever they want. They can throw them outside in the heat. It is something in the white jeans. That's all it is. God, that's definitely, you're going to see that on Huffington Post in about a week. I think I might have read it about 10 minutes ago on the Huffington Post. Simply safe.

Home Security. Great security system. Fantastic protection. It is easy to use. This is a company, don't you love seeing companies and good people success? seed. Oh, I love that. I do too. I love those stories. Yeah. Remember when they first started with us? Oh, yeah. There's a couple of few people. It was a five? Yeah, it's five people. They were nobodies. Now they're billionaires. Well, their company is.

Company's worth a billion bucks. That's amazing. That's incredible. Oh, they just had a really good idea and well-timed, great product and something that people get something out of something that they can Now that they're successful, we should tear them down. No, I'm not, I don't think so. I don't think that's a good idea. I feel like that's a bad idea. Usually when people get, you know, they're successful. We like see him, but then we like to tear him down. And then when they get to the bottom, we're like, oh, we love a comeback story. Yep. So, ripping people down and building them back up.

I don't know what to do. I'm still on building them up. Okay. Because they've got a, they've got a great product, and it is simply safe.

In, let's just, let's go back in time tunnel here for a second. In 1992, a predictor of how people, you could tell if you're white or black, was whether you owned a dishwasher, you owned a shovel,

you owned a smoke and fire detector, you own a pet, own a microwave, own a flashlight, use sun tan or sunscreen products, owns a hand held electric mixer. A lot of these are related to home ownership, too, which is part of this difference, I think.

So I think you can look at this. Okay, so owns a dishwasher, that's a home, shovel, home, smoke detector, home, owns a microwave, home, flashlight, home, handheld electric mixer, probably home, owns a house, or owns a hose home, owns a coffee maker. Those are a predictors in 1992. Now, owns a pet is number one. That still blows my mind.

Slavery. Get over your white privilege. Owns a flashlight. Owns a dishwasher. Owns a sport or recreation equipment. Would that include like a basketball or a football? Yeah, I guess. Owns glass ovenware.

Owns a gas grill. Owns a smoke and fire detector. Owns an air conditioner. Owns a hot water heater. owns a built-in dishwasher. A lot of those are just if you own a home. Right. Are white people the only ones taking smoke inhalation seriously?

No, I think the key there is own. If you rent. If you're renting, then. If you rent, you don't really own it. And obviously, the white population's higher in suburbs and places where homes are owned rather than city, urban areas where minority populations are higher. So these are social attitudes that predict you're white. Okay.

In 1976, now listen to this. In 1976, number one, predictor that you are white. Spending on blacks isn't too little. Isn't too little, which is a double, almost a double negative. Almost kind of like a double negative. So it's not too little. It means it's too, it's not too little. That means it's, it's, it's, that there's no room to grow, I think. It's not too high. I mean, it's not. It's not. It isn't too. It's a weird phrasing of that. completely right it it it is too little it would say you want it higher higher so it's not too

little you want it lower or the same or the same okay number two not a baptist you're white 1976 the best predictor and second best predictor that you were white you were not a baptist number three not a fundamentalist number four trusts people believe people are helpful. Voted for a GOP presidential candidate. Approved of striking, of police, striking citizens, 63%.

Approved of police striking citizens? And that a little insane? Oh, it's insane because, of course, no one would want that in a normal everyday circumstance, but everyone would support it if a police officer is being attacked. Right. So I don't know what...

Now, think of this, this is 1976. Right. This is 10 years after the, you know, Police were hosing people down. So that was, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. That was seventh best predictor. And it was 63.3%.

Percent said, yeah, that's good if you're white. All right. 2016, what's the number one indicator on social attitudes that says you're white? With 66.6%. Love of mayonnaise? No, but that'd be products.

This is social attitude. Approve of police striking citizens. That's now number one. Number two, own a gun. Favor the death penalty. Own a rifle. Voted GOP. Spending on blacks isn't too little is next.

Glenn. Back. Mercury. So today's the day the book, The Book, Addicted to Outrage, comes out. And I urge you to get it and get one for a friend of yours that you think, you know, may not even like me, but, you know, is open because they know this is not going to work. And share it and read it together.

I wrote the book so it can be disarming enough to, you know, appeal to everybody except, you know, probably the hardcore zealot who is just playing for, you know, you know, or de-marks or whatever. And a lot of people have misconstrued what I have been leading to, which is this book, as surrender. But I wanted to have somebody on that is the quintessential example of what I'm talking about. What I'm talking about is changing the way we make our arguments, basing them in reason and fact, and finding a way that will appeal to the most amount of people. Prager University is that example.

Prager University, there's no hyperbole there. There's no craziness. There's no name-calling. You don't get angry. Now, the left does, but that's because they've disconnected from reality. But the average person who will watch that, and it's making an impact. Dennis Prager is with us now. Dennis, are you guys up to a billion views yet?

Is Dennis there? Great question. Yeah, I do now. Hello? Yes, you're on, Dennis. First of all, it was a beautiful introduction. Revelling in your praise. Because coming from you, it's a big deal.

But anyway, we're well beyond a billion views collectively. This year we'll have a billion views. We're now, I think, at about 700 million for this year. that's incredible and when you started this Dennis did you have any idea it would be this big Glenn I give you my word when we started it if somebody would have said give me a break right so what is the so so why does it work uh Dennis why does it work do you think it actually you actually did summarize it we good ideas in a uh in a good world. You need God and reason. God without reason is fanaticism, reason without God,

ultimately just doesn't work. So the two are needed for a good world. My preoccupation since high school is goodness. It sounds corny. I admit it, but it's just true. That's all I hate evil. My favorite biblical verse is those of you who love God must hate evil. I wish every pre-cheek. It just as you said, there's no name calling rational. And I was invited by young people in Romania to speak this summer. And I went to Romania, fifth people, to hear me in two Romanian cities. When you, I mean, you just turned 70, happy birthday. And you, you were, I mean, you were appointed by Reagan for the Helsinki Accords.

You were there for that. You've seen the world, you've seen the world on the brink of, of, of, launching missiles. I mean, I remember that time, Dennis. I mean, I wasn't, obviously, I wasn't around in the administration, but outside of the administration, it sure felt like we were close to something either really good or really bad. Now it just feels like we're really close to something really bad. Would you compare the times? I mean, in your 70 years of life, where does this fall what we're experiencing now? Can you compare it to any other time? I was the greatest in my lifetime and the greatest since I never engage in hyperbole.

I may like anyone be wrong, but I took a vow 35 years ago when I started radio that I, not only would I try to tell the truth, and I don't even exaggerate because it works for about a year, but it gradually people understand, well, he doesn't really mean that. He's just overstating the case. we are in a civil war in the United States. It is largely, thank God, not violent. I pray it remains not violent, but the gap between the lack is tremendous.

You don't want to impose a gender identity. That is of child abuse, but it is normative. We are watching crazy people take our country. So this is the interesting thing, Dennis, that I read about in the book, and I don't think the average person understands this. They look at the average Democrat as the problem. The average Democrat is not the one coming up with the cisgender normative speak. It is the postmodernist Marxist radicals that are really in the institutions of higher education

that have formulated this whole system and now they're just rolling it out. And the Democrats are just going along with it. I think some of them are starting to be a little freaked out by it. But it is the postmodernist movement that is all about destruction of the Western way of life. There is no there's no cohabitation here with that philosophy. Yeah, the problem, however, won't fight it because, and this is the tragedy, this is the tragedy. Liberals, with the exception of a guy like Alan Dershowitz, liberals don't understand. understand that their enemy is not the conservatives their enemy is the left conservatives do not

want to undo the liberal order yes you mean classic liberal i don't know even even even the modern liberal i mean alan dershowitz is i don't know if he's a classic liberal or a modern liberal alan dershowitz professor of law at harvard lifelong democrat hillary clinton supporter said to me, it is on film, not just, not only on audio, said to me, Dennis, as an American, as a liberal, as a Jew, I don't fear the right. I fear the left. Dennis, I have had people, I just had dinner last night with somebody that would shock you and privately said exactly the same thing and is wondering how to present this so he's not just destroyed by his own friends and his own side. I mean, there are people that are coming out. I've had people tell me this over and over again. I'm more afraid of our side than your side now, because my side's unleashed. They're just, every, all standards are changing overnight,

and you have to adopt 100% or you're destroyed. With us, or if you deviate, you need to go to a re-education camp. We allow, see, we allow people who deviate among conservatives. Our tent is gigantic. Their tent is if you, only two genders, you're a bigot. That's the, it's the end of the issue. You know that there are, do you know that there are girls, teenage girls, I mean, and even in the early teenage years, who have their breasts removed because they think they're boys? I think this is, I think this is child abuse.

Why is that not mutilation? It is. Totally. it is when you're turning when you turn 18 you know you do what you want i mean whatever uh but you know when you are before you have settled and i don't even know of 18 is is young enough to mutilate your body like that i mean studies are showing now that that already some of these kids who are doing this the suicide rates going through the roof because they're changing that's what they feel at 13 that's not what they feel at 18 right changing johns hopkins johns Hopkins

University was the leader in sex change surgery, and they abandoned it. They eventually abandoned it. And Johns Hopkins University... Go ahead. Go ahead. John Hopkins University was... Is the progressive hospital? It was built based on, you know, all of the universities over in Germany.

They were the first one that brought all of this stuff over here. It's John Hopkins University. It's a progressive university that is hard left in its origins as you can possibly get. I didn't know about its origins. I certainly know that it's on the left, but it's almost redundant with regard to any university today. By the way, I wish you were only confined to universities. When President Trump said in Warsaw that we need to protect Western civilization, he was attacked by the New York Times editorial board. I know.

See, these people don't just dominate the universities and now the high schools. They also dominate the media. Well, you know, I'm more concerned. I'm more concerned about the new media, Dennis, on what they're doing to people like you. How many videos have been banned from Prager University? Well, that's another story. It's actually restricted. In other words, YouTube owned by Google.

has taken about 80 of our 340 videos. They're all five-minute videos just for your listeners who don't know, and they come out every week. And have you found a pattern in the ones that have been banned or restricted? Have you found a pattern? There were two patterns. One is, well, here, here are almost guarantees. if it speaks about how wonderful the United States is, if it defends Israel, or if it's critical of Islamist thought,

then it's almost definitely going to be restricted. Beyond that, it is completely random. I mean, when, you know, Victor Davis-Hanson, who was about a soft-spoken, a professor as exists in the world today, gives a course in five minutes on the Korean War. It goes up the restricted list. I mean, folks, people need to understand. The restricted list is supposed to be for pornography and violence. Alan Dershowitz gave illegal trends of Israel,

and that was put up on the restricted list. Dershowitz. That's what's so crazy. Dennis, I got to run. Thank you so much. Dennis Prager, you can follow it. You bet. Dennisprager.com, Prager University.

I wanted to have him on today because this is really the approach of the book that I'm putting out. It's not a surrender. It's not anything. It's how do we fight this? We have to fight this in a different way. Prager University is a great example of that. It works. It works.

Back in just a second. I want to tell you a little bit about Goldline. Goldline, I've been telling you about their new Maple Flex card, which breaks off in to smaller pieces for barter and trade, but don't forget about the importance of small gold bars as well. I mean really small gold bars. They're like, you know, tenth of an ounce. When it comes to protecting ourselves and our families, our portfolios, we have to make sure somebody has something left. If you look at what is happening with inflation, you look at what's now happening with trade. Yesterday, we went and put another $200 billion in China. We got another $267 trillion, or a billion

that are coming, this is not, this is not going to end well. It's just not. So what happens when people start to flee from the dollar? I ask Goldline to create smaller bars of gold and silver that people could carry with them in case of a, you know, you know, horrible event. In addition to considering the new silver maple flex, remember, Goldline also has the exclusive credit card size holder containing five individually sealed tenth of an ounce gold bars, which are also meant to by the Royal Canadian Mint. Legal tender, gold and silver, things go horribly,

you'll be protected. You owe it to yourself to find out if this is right for you. Goldline. Learn more about these golden silver bars by calling 866 Goldline or going to goldline.com. Call them right now.

They're good people that are waiting for your phone call at 866 Goldline. 866 Goldliner goldline.com. Welcome back to the program. Good question from a listener at World of Stew Twitter. When does addicted to outrage come out? I can't remember. And that's a great question.

Today. It's today. Have we not mentioned that? We haven't mentioned it yet. But I wanted to make sure people got that because it is out today. All right. And people need to know that it's available. Here's one of the things we're beating it so hard because we are not going to use mainstream media because I don't believe that a four-minute interview where they're yelling at you for three and then say in the last 20 seconds. So tell me about your book. Oh, it's on sale today? Great. It doesn't do anything. And I don't want to be a part of that. So we're doing all digital media and talk radio.

And talk radio. And if it can be, you know, top three with all digital media, that says something. You don't need. You do not need the mainstream media at all. They are clueless. They don't know what's happening in the world. It's a nice signal to send, I'll say. We complain about the media a lot, but showing the power, I think, is an interesting way of demonstrating.

We just really don't even need them anymore. And you know what? It's, if I'm going to tell you, stop with the media, then I have to do the same thing. Dismiss them. They're old and outdated. Addicted outrage available everywhere today. Mercury.
