This Just Ain't Gonna Last | Guest: Ari Hoffman | 4/24/19

Speaker 1 Thank you so much.

Speaker 2 Let me tell you about our spotlight sponsor.

Speaker 3 It is Home Title Lock.

Speaker 2 Home Title Lock, we found out.

Speaker 4 Did you find out about this first or did Pat?

Speaker 6 Yeah, I did. I know you did.

Speaker 7 You told Pat.

Speaker 8 Yeah, we talked about it.

Speaker 10 And when I heard about it, I went to look into it, make sure that it was something real.

Speaker 11 But it is.

Speaker 13 It's one of the fastest-growing crimes in America, according to the FBI.

Speaker 17 Yeah, and so you tell Pat, and Pat comes to me and tells me, and he's like, you got to get this.

Speaker 18 I just got this.

Speaker 19 And I said, you just got this.

Speaker 20 He's like, yep, yeah. Stu just got it.

Speaker 24 And he told me, once you find out what it is and how real it is, and that it is so easy to steal the title of your home, you lose your home, you're mired in debt. It's awful.

Speaker 29 There's only one company that stands against it and stands in guard of your title, and that's home titlelock.com.

Speaker 33 Go there now, get the free report.

Speaker 34 Home titlelock.com.

Speaker 35 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenbeck program.

Speaker 33 Joe Biden has been running for president since 1987.

Speaker 37 And

Speaker 38 he can't seem to nail this down.

Speaker 42 He was supposed to come out today and announce that he's running for president, but for some reason, he needed an extra day.

Speaker 46 I don't know if it was to talk to his beautiful wife, Jill,

Speaker 49 or if there was a problem that he needed to hug 20 more people today.

Speaker 31 I don't know what it was.

Speaker 53 But now ABC is confirming that Joe Biden is in the race officially tomorrow.

Speaker 58 If that's true, he's got a problem with his progressive base because in the straw poll of progressives, only 8%

Speaker 14 support Joe Biden.

Speaker 52 This is going to be interesting to watch him run.

Speaker 61 Quick zigzag down the field.

Speaker 12 Run left, run left, run right, run right, run center, run left, left, left, left.

Speaker 64 We'll see Joe Biden.

Speaker 43 We'll open our conversation on on that in one minute.

Speaker 35 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 66 Pain.

Speaker 30 Pain makes everything suck.

Speaker 68 Pain just makes you say, I can't do it anymore.

Speaker 61 It makes all the little things seem like huge things.

Speaker 72 God bless you if you have teenagers.

Speaker 74 and pain.

Speaker 61 You can get rid of the pain.

Speaker 52 You can't get rid of the teenagers.

Speaker 76 If I could take a relief factor and it would make my teenagers shrink in size, it would be great.

Speaker 82 What I can't do is that I do have a relief factor, which will curb the inflammation in my body and make the pain better so I can endure the teenagers a little easier.

Speaker 81 Relief Factor, relief factor.com.

Speaker 61 Call 800-500-8384, 800-500-8384.

Speaker 24 Or you can go to relieffactor.com.

Speaker 73 Get out of pain.

Speaker 41 Get your life back.

Speaker 46 ReliefFactor.com.

Speaker 12 Joe, Joe Biden's due. Joe Biden.
Yes.

Speaker 11 You're excited?

Speaker 84 Biden Mania?

Speaker 63 No.

Speaker 8 Are you pumped up for Biden Palooza?

Speaker 23 No, I'm not.

Speaker 86 No, I'm not.

Speaker 56 Jocella.

Speaker 87 No. No.

Speaker 12 I like Joachella.

Speaker 12 Yeah, I like that one. Okay.

Speaker 8 Jocella is supposed to come tomorrow.

Speaker 10 So, what we expect now, and ABC News has confirmed, and this is different than previous reporting on when they're going to announce, which were just sources inside the campaign and the buzz is and blah, blah, blah.

Speaker 11 ABC News at least now claims that they've confirmed that Joe Biden will announce he is running for president of the United States tomorrow via a video.

Speaker 92 That will be Thursday, and then Monday will be his first campaign event and that will be I think in Pennsylvania.

Speaker 9 He's going to kick it off in Pennsylvania.

Speaker 90 So it's interesting because he is the frontrunner coming in. He will be the guy, you know, he'll come in as the favorite.

Speaker 96 A favorite in a 20-person field though is not necessarily that exciting.

Speaker 88 You want to be ahead, obviously, but a 20-person field can shake out in a million different ways, obviously. So that's one of those things where

Speaker 11 it could be the best moment of his campaign is Thursday morning, right before he presses play on the video, right?

Speaker 93 Like, that's a very realistic possibility because people are going to pick apart his record.

Speaker 90 It's very lengthy.

Speaker 10 It is, you know, he's done a lot of stuff, and he's run for president multiple times.

Speaker 98 And if you remember, he did not win any of those times.

Speaker 90 He is not an unbeatable candidate by any means in a primary.

Speaker 12 Democrats have handled him in the past.

Speaker 8 Now, he comes in here with a sort of the cachet of vice president for eight years, eight years that Democrats, generally speaking, remember well,

Speaker 10 although there's a turn on that a little bit with progressives lately, but generally speaking, they remember the Obama administration pretty well.

Speaker 102 And he also comes in with

Speaker 93 a couple of advantages over people like Bernie Sanders.

Speaker 104 For example, Biden does very well with black voters.

Speaker 10 You know,

Speaker 91 he is, I think, America's second black president.

Speaker 89 So Bill Clinton was first.

Speaker 10 Biden would be second.

Speaker 11 I don't know if Barack Obama counts.

Speaker 88 But I guess

Speaker 99 because I mean, it depends on how he identifies on a particular day. We'll have to figure that out.

Speaker 6 But Biden does very well with African-American voters.

Speaker 88 He does very well in the Midwest as kind of his target area.

Speaker 13 That obviously could be helpful in a place like Iowa, could be helpful in some early primary states.

Speaker 10 It could be very helpful to him in South Carolina, where he is probably the biggest favorite of all, you know, as we start this off, where he looks to be the strongest.

Speaker 56 So Biden's got a great path.

Speaker 102 He's leading the polls.

Speaker 8 All the I smell hair and touch people's shoulders too often thing has not really given him too much of a bump downwards.

Speaker 108 Well,

Speaker 82 may I bring you this from the

Speaker 20 CDC?

Speaker 107 The Centers for Disease Control?

Speaker 18 Yes.

Speaker 85 Okay.

Speaker 41 Public officials have confirmed

Speaker 77 the insect, and I can't pronounce the name of this insect, is a blood-sucking creature that feeds on animals and humans and has a particular fondness for biting faces.

Speaker 24 They have confirmed the presence of this bug which they have deemed the kissing bug.

Speaker 112 They have said for the first time,

Speaker 110 it is here now, and it is

Speaker 28 in Delaware.

Speaker 37 I am not making that up.

Speaker 40 So the kissing bug that likes to creep up behind you and kiss your face and nibble on your face and your ears

Speaker 70 is in Delaware.

Speaker 12 Wow.

Speaker 105 Maybe this is what happened to Joe.

Speaker 101 Maybe he bit a long time ago.

Speaker 28 Or he's just the kissing bug.

Speaker 54 He may be. I think it's just him.

Speaker 10 Yeah.

Speaker 94 Because I'm thinking it's more like

Speaker 89 a situation where like it was like the fly, right?

Speaker 10 Maybe he went into a chamber with one of these bugs and they meshed somehow physically and like the molecular structure of his body turned into half kissing bug. So now he goes up and just.

Speaker 88 This is a good movie.

Speaker 57 Could buy.

Speaker 57 Could be.

Speaker 1 A family in Kent County, Delaware contacted local health authorities after something had bitten their child's face while she was watching television.

Speaker 50 Could have been Joe Biden. It could have been Joe Biden.

Speaker 115 Could have been Joe Biden. Could have been.

Speaker 90 I don't think there's any doubt.

Speaker 95 In fact, now I've confirmed it.

Speaker 10 ABC News is confirming that too.

Speaker 116 The kissing bud.

Speaker 114 Yeah, they're confirming the kissing bug fly meshing theory.

Speaker 9 This is is big.

Speaker 84 Don't call them for confirmation.

Speaker 36 Fever, swelling at the infection site, fatigue, rash, body aches, eyelid swelling, headache, loss of appetite, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, swollen glands, and enlargement of the liver or the spleen, and voting Democratic.

Speaker 101 They appear on Amtraks often?

Speaker 116 Because then we can confirm.

Speaker 121 Very often on Amtrak's, but only to one station, which is weird.

Speaker 2 We're going to take you to one of the other candidates, Kamala Harris.

Speaker 11 Or Kamala Harris.

Speaker 3 Kamala Harris. I can't get it right now.

Speaker 10 No, you had to redo it the entire monologue yesterday because you kept saying Kamala over and over.

Speaker 123 And I think I still said Kamala.

Speaker 9 I mean, look, a lot of people are saying Kamala.

Speaker 98 So you're not,

Speaker 9 this is not one of your worst pronunciation violations as a broadcaster.

Speaker 56 It is really pretty common.

Speaker 88 But I mean, if you listen to her say it, it is Kamala.

Speaker 2 Kamala Harris.

Speaker 115 We're going to do Kamala Harris and share some stuff that we we shared on television in just a second, so stand by for that.

Speaker 125 She's still third

Speaker 12 in the Joe Biden.

Speaker 107 Yeah, if Biden's in, it's usually Biden Sanders. And then there's a mix.

Speaker 10 It depends.

Speaker 99 Buddha Judge, I would say, might be third now.

Speaker 56 Woco Harris may be fourth.

Speaker 88 Then you've got the Bedos of the World and Warren in that next kind of group, maybe Booker.

Speaker 20 I have some stuff on Buddha Judge as well that we'll get to here in a minute.

Speaker 49 First, cybercrime only getting worse.

Speaker 28 We hear almost daily now of massive data breaches.

Speaker 123 And here's the problem:

Speaker 118 your information is out there,

Speaker 128 pieces of your information. And what they do is they sell those pieces on the dark web.

Speaker 26 And then they have, you know, somebody or, you know, an algorithm or something that puts all of that information together.

Speaker 130 So the bad guys are going out and they're saying, give me all of these social security numbers.

Speaker 47 Now give me all the banking records.

Speaker 28 And they can buy them for like 15,000, just these huge, huge files.

Speaker 132 They combine them, and now they have everything they need to get you.

Speaker 52 This is what happens every single day.

Speaker 49 And the one company that I trust to watch all of my data, all of my information on me is LifeLock.

Speaker 135 They detect a wide range of identity threats like your social security number on sale on the dark web.

Speaker 26 And if there is a problem, a U.S.-based restoration specialist is going to work to fix it.

Speaker 17 These are things you just are not going to be able to fix on your own.

Speaker 20 Nobody can prevent all identity theft, monitor all transactions at all businesses, but LifeLock is the best in the business and they find the threats that you might miss.

Speaker 41 So, Kamala Harris, her father, wrote a blog post just in January.

Speaker 1 And do you find it interesting, Stu, that this little family secret was put out on a blog

Speaker 139 the year, the January that he knows his daughter is going to start running for president?

Speaker 88 Seemed like an odd, maybe a little dump here.

Speaker 51 Like they're they're kind of just dumping the information in the most obscure source possible so they can say we look we were the ones who told you about it we already talked about it yeah that does seem a little suspicious yeah yeah okay especially something like this why would you put this out i mean who would be proud of this in their family he curtain you know certainly is not so her father wrote on the jamaica global uh in january of this year i don't go to that website i have a paper subscription though i make sure i get that delivered if you had a physical subscription, I used to, but the newspaper delivery boy, he just never got it up to the porch.

Speaker 125 It's pretty big.

Speaker 31 On Sundays, it almost crushed the poor kid.

Speaker 40 He wrote, My roots go back within my lifetime to my paternal grandmother, Miss Christy Brown, descendant of Hamilton Brown, who is on record as a plantation and slave owner and founder of Brownstown.

Speaker 97 Okay.

Speaker 145 So

Speaker 61 his grandmother was a descendant of a slave owner and a plantation owner.

Speaker 97 Okay.

Speaker 68 You know, that's kind of bad for Kamala.

Speaker 103 I mean, nothing to do with what Kamala did.

Speaker 104 However, if you happen to be a person

Speaker 147 who's out there in the public continually talking about reparations for people, descendants of slaves,

Speaker 100 perhaps, you know, I know, I don't have any descendants

Speaker 90 in my family that own slaves.

Speaker 149 She does.

Speaker 150 Shouldn't she be the one paying it?

Speaker 104 If someone's going to be paying reparations, I think it should be all exclusively Kamala Harris.

Speaker 14 If you're also one hanging out with a lot of people who are like, white people are bad, white people are bad, this white culture,

Speaker 64 that kind of takes this apart too, doesn't it?

Speaker 91 A lot of interesting developments here by this one little piece of family history that they themselves put out.

Speaker 104 You have to believe that, you know,

Speaker 27 we're the ones who told you that.

Speaker 16 You're exactly right.

Speaker 152 You're exactly right.

Speaker 22 That is what they're going to say.

Speaker 148 We're the ones who told you this.

Speaker 145 We've already addressed it.

Speaker 23 It's already been out there.

Speaker 12 This is old news.

Speaker 87 Yep.

Speaker 28 Okay, so who is Hamilton Brown?

Speaker 39 Who is Hamilton Brown?

Speaker 40 We know he was the founder of Brownstown.

Speaker 79 Well, it appears that he was also violently racist, violently hateful.

Speaker 61 Now, this is the account of Harris's great-grandfather.

Speaker 68 At the command of the overseer, he proceeded to strip off part of his clothes and laid him flat on his belly, his back and his buttocks being uncovered.

Speaker 131 One of the drivers then commenced flogging him with a cart whip.

Speaker 50 This whip was about ten feet long with a short, stout handle.

Speaker 142 It's the instrument of terrible power.

Speaker 123 It's whirled by the operator around his head and then brought down with a rapid motion of the arm

Speaker 49 upon the recumbent victim, causing blood to spring at every stroke.

Speaker 97 When I saw this spectacle now for the first time exhibited before my own eyes, with all of its revolting accompaniments, I saw the degraded and mangled victim writhing and groaning under the infliction.

Speaker 5 I felt horror struck.

Speaker 75 This is not the great-grandfather, this is

Speaker 158 that saying I felt horror struck.

Speaker 28 It's the one who stripped the slave and said to the coachman, whip him.

Speaker 72 The rest of the account is even more horrifying.

Speaker 58 It has a passage where the

Speaker 58 man is

Speaker 55 just

Speaker 7 a bloody stump,

Speaker 82 and he's laying on the ground, pleading and screaming, Think me, no man, think me no man.

Speaker 77 In other words,

Speaker 3 what am I? A dog?

Speaker 40 I'm a man.

Speaker 145 It's crazy bad. Crazy bad.

Speaker 3 Now, this

Speaker 159 is Kamala's great-grandfather.

Speaker 79 And this was just released by her father in the press in Jamaica.

Speaker 61 Now, she has asked for reparations for descendants of former slaves.

Speaker 73 And maybe that's her

Speaker 55 black guilt?

Speaker 16 Is that what that is, Kamala?

Speaker 47 She's gone on and called everybody a racist, but has she dealt with calling her own family racist?

Speaker 161 And if her family was a racist, if her family had this guy in there,

Speaker 129 should that say anything about Kamala Harris?

Speaker 30 I would say no.

Speaker 5 We don't hold people responsible for the sins of their fathers or their mothers or their brothers or sisters.

Speaker 72 We don't do that.

Speaker 41 That's barbaric.

Speaker 146 But that's what reparations does.

Speaker 113 It holds us responsible for something that we had nothing to do with.

Speaker 14 So if you want to play the progressive game,

Speaker 66 Kamala Harris is a nightmare.

Speaker 144 She comes from

Speaker 5 stock of

Speaker 145 wicked racism.

Speaker 51 her parents benefited she benefited from the from the shoulders of slaves

Speaker 14 shouldn't she pay reparations

Speaker 55 the answer is no

Speaker 29 because she's not

Speaker 55 the great-grandfather

Speaker 40 She didn't found Brown Town.

Speaker 151 So

Speaker 59 how do you square that?

Speaker 96 You certainly don't.

Speaker 99 I mean, I think someone with that family history would understand that that's not how you, yeah, you're not responsible for the sins of your parents.

Speaker 88 I mean, this is one of the things, the very fundamental things America did, right?

Speaker 10 Was to not make it do a caste system, to not make it so royalty, you didn't get the benefits of your parents.

Speaker 90 You didn't get automatically excluded if your

Speaker 99 you know, your parents and grandparents weren't special people.

Speaker 100 And the same thing happens for when they did things wrong.

Speaker 89 If your parents and grandparents, great-grandparents were slave owners, you don't

Speaker 86 do what you do.

Speaker 104 You're an individual.

Speaker 87 You do the correct thing while you're alive.

Speaker 5 Well, see, here's the problem.

Speaker 55 If you flip this around, because I know that there are people who will be for reparations who theoretically

Speaker 139 could be listening, and they would be saying, Well, that's not what this is about.

Speaker 1 That's not what this is about.

Speaker 25 This is about giving African African Americans their slice of the American pie because their grandfather, great-grandfather, whoever helped build this land on slave labor.

Speaker 145 And so what they should have had, what they helped build,

Speaker 61 we should take some of that money and we should give it to their ancestors.

Speaker 108 Well,

Speaker 66 no, again,

Speaker 123 because the people living today aren't the ones who earned that.

Speaker 113 If we were alive, if it was 1865,

Speaker 113 I would be for saying, yeah, you know what?

Speaker 15 They do need 40 acres and a mule or whatever it was.

Speaker 51 Let's pay that.

Speaker 55 I'd be all for that.

Speaker 151 But the people who were directly affected and directly would have benefited from it aren't alive today.

Speaker 12 Yeah, we know how it ridiculously, first of all, it's impossible to implement with any all it I mean it's impossible to implement as stated, right?

Speaker 10 If your idea is to give money to the descendants of American slaves that comes from, in theory, slave owners, right?

Speaker 101 It's impossible. First of all, it's unconstitutional.

Speaker 56 You can't just target one specific race for a tax increase, right?

Speaker 101 Like, that's not something that can happen.

Speaker 91 It is legitimately completely unconstitutional.

Speaker 55 And by the way, the people who would be arguing arguing for that first would be African Americans who are like, yeah, I don't think we've seen the history of this country.

Speaker 8 I don't think targeting one race for a particular tax increase or maybe a poll tax, let's call it, is a good idea.

Speaker 110 You know what?

Speaker 167 I have to tell you, though, I think you're wrong.

Speaker 66 in the fact that I think there are a lot of people, and I wouldn't even put African Americans in this.

Speaker 76 I think African Americans may be more fair than progressive white people.

Speaker 116 Oh, clearly. Yeah.

Speaker 64 You know, I mean, but the African-American would be the beneficiary of it.

Speaker 97 True.

Speaker 47 But I think even they would look at it and go, that's ridiculous.

Speaker 84 Well, let's get into that then.

Speaker 8 Who's the beneficiary of it? It's certainly not someone who lived in Jamaica until four years ago, right?

Speaker 92 It's people who, it's certainly not someone who lived in Nigeria and immigrated here 20 years ago, right?

Speaker 102 It's certainly only people who are actually descendants of slaves, right?

Speaker 147 So it's certainly not slavery in other countries, right?

Speaker 88 No, what this is, Glenn, is a giant, it has nothing to do with slavery.

Speaker 95 It is a giant redistribution of wealth plan.

Speaker 106 That is how it would, the only way they could implement it is if they did it that way.

Speaker 149 They would find a way to redistribute money, not from, because they would have to redistribute it from rich black people, too.

Speaker 96 You can't just go in there and take money from only white people.

Speaker 101 That is not something that's supposed to happen in this country, and I don't think could constitutionally occur.

Speaker 96 You can't go target a race and pull money from them.

Speaker 104 You can raise taxes overall and redistribute it to people at a certain level.

Speaker 147 You could do that under the auspices of reparations.

Speaker 114 We're making this old thing right.

Speaker 88 And will some people who weren't descendants of slaves get this money?

Speaker 85 Sure.

Speaker 94 And will some people who were descendants of slaves that have become wealthy have to pay a little bit?

Speaker 56 It's not going to be perfect, of course.

Speaker 114 But the bottom line is we're righting a long-term wrong the best that we can.

Speaker 94 And it's going to wind up being just another excuse for another one of these programs to take money from the evil people who have it and give it to the wonderful, virtuous people who don't.

Speaker 72 We are just on top of a socialist nation right now.

Speaker 144 Just on top of it.

Speaker 20 his podcast today. You can listen to it live every day on theblaze TV.com.

Speaker 3 Or radio.

Speaker 90 Either one.

Speaker 7 Yeah, okay.

Speaker 125 So anyway,

Speaker 41 so I'm listening to you today.

Speaker 97 Yes.

Speaker 50 And you're going off on Joe Biden Biden.

Speaker 131 And you're talking about how corrupt.

Speaker 152 And I'm listening to you talk about Ukraine.

Speaker 97 And you're visceral about that.

Speaker 7 Yeah.

Speaker 130 Yeah.

Speaker 173 To get the, I mean, he was holding out on a billion dollars of aid to the Ukraine

Speaker 174 for them to fire their

Speaker 2 prosecutor general.

Speaker 173 And if they didn't do it, they weren't going to get the billion dollars. So he's holding that over their heads.
And they're like, well,

Speaker 174 you don't have the power to do that.

Speaker 175 You can't do that. And he told them, yeah, make the call.

Speaker 174 See if I can't do that.

Speaker 173 If I don't have him the news that he's fired by the time I got on the plane back home, you're not getting your billion dollars.

Speaker 174 He got fired before Biden got on the plane.

Speaker 173 And then it turned out

Speaker 173 that the prosecutor general

Speaker 148 was investigating Biden's son.

Speaker 173 And that's apparently the reason he wanted him fired. I mean, what American vice president cares about the prosecutor general of another nation?

Speaker 5 Pretty corrupt.

Speaker 56 Pretty bad stuff.

Speaker 51 Unbelievably corrupt.

Speaker 175 And now to hear that the,

Speaker 173 I didn't see the next night show about China.

Speaker 173 You think that's even worse?

Speaker 12 A lot worse. Oh, no, it's a lot worse.

Speaker 70 I mean, am I exaggerating?

Speaker 176 A lot worse than that.

Speaker 84 Yeah, I think that's true.

Speaker 12 I think that's true.

Speaker 132 This happened before Ukraine, if I'm not mistaken.

Speaker 51 This happened before Ukraine.

Speaker 145 And in that episode, I show you exactly how Joe Biden's son and John Kerry's son.

Speaker 78 So

Speaker 31 this is worse because you have the vice president and the secretary of state.

Speaker 52 They're sons in business together.

Speaker 113 And they start this business as soon as Daddy gets ordained and daddy's vice president.

Speaker 1 John Kerry's son and

Speaker 1 John Kerry's finance campaign finance guy start this business with Joe Biden's son.

Speaker 154 They don't have experience in this, okay?

Speaker 141 This is a brand new firm.

Speaker 135 Within a year, they're flying to meet with the equivalent of BlackRock,

Speaker 146 Goldman Sachs, Chase, JP Morgan, all of the

Speaker 80 biggest investment firms in America.

Speaker 146 All of the biggest ones, they're meeting with within a year year at the same time Joe is meeting with the head of state.

Speaker 1 Then, a few months later, Joe and his son fly to China.

Speaker 110 Joe goes and meets with the head of state while Joe's son meets with the Bank of China.

Speaker 7 Okay?

Speaker 164 The Bank of frickin' China.

Speaker 173 Incredible.

Speaker 179 So he goes and he meets with the Bank of China.

Speaker 51 They get a deal that Goldman Sachs doesn't even have.

Speaker 123 The Bank of China, which is the official government-run bank, gives them, what was it, $1.5 billion

Speaker 76 to Joe's son's firm?

Speaker 165 Just, you can invest this any way you want.

Speaker 142 And then you see, how did they invest it?

Speaker 72 The first thing they invested in was

Speaker 113 a nuclear power company in China run by the government that was being investigated at the time, openly investigated by the FBI

Speaker 182 for

Speaker 41 bribing our people to get secrets from our nuclear officials.

Speaker 148 Okay.

Speaker 172 That's who they, the first one they invest in.

Speaker 179 They are, they then send people to jail in America.

Speaker 113 The FBI arrests Americans who have accepted bribes from this company trying to get nuclear secrets.

Speaker 123 It's out.

Speaker 112 They're convicted.

Speaker 160 And Joe Biden and John Kerry's sons still

Speaker 132 remain in business with that.

Speaker 147 And they go a step further.

Speaker 31 They then go into, and I don't remember the name of the aerospace company, but it is the Chinese government aerospace.

Speaker 14 They make all of their military equipment.

Speaker 113 They decide to invest in that company.

Speaker 33 And they have all this money and they invest and they buy that company.

Speaker 39 And then they're like, you know what we need to do?

Speaker 132 We need to buy this American company.

Speaker 28 There's this really good American company that makes this anti-vibration stuff.

Speaker 148 It's really good.

Speaker 61 It's an automotive company.

Speaker 120 Well,

Speaker 176 not exactly.

Speaker 41 It's dual use.

Speaker 156 Yes, you can use that, but it's also really, really good for like fighter planes.

Speaker 33 So they buy this American company and they put it over there.

Speaker 118 Now, by the way, The company that bought the American company, the Joe Biden investment company, the Chinese aerospace company,

Speaker 43 had just been accused and charged in the United States for stealing our stealth bomber technology.

Speaker 160 Okay, all of this is happening while Joe Biden and John Kerry are negotiating with China.

Speaker 66 $1.5 billion in access to the Chinese government money to a firm that just started with three kids running it.

Speaker 12 Holy cow.

Speaker 101 What a great turn of fortune there.

Speaker 12 Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 140 They must have showed a lot of promise.

Speaker 43 So, Mike, my question is, when you see the Ukraine, when you see China, wait until you've got to watch the episode.

Speaker 52 And if you want to see the episode, it's at crazy.

Speaker 31 It's at the

Speaker 61 blazetv.com slash Glenn.

Speaker 28 Join us.

Speaker 61 Use the promo code Glenn and you'll save $10.

Speaker 82 bucks.

Speaker 43 But when you see that thing on the chalkboard, it's like,

Speaker 71 oh my gosh.

Speaker 173 And how is it that nobody's picked this up? How is it that you know, the only place you know about that is from the Blaze?

Speaker 150 The New York Times is not interested in that, Washington Post.

Speaker 173 He must he must be so confident in the fact that nobody's going to investigate that because otherwise, how would you, why would you subject yourself?

Speaker 7 Well, we show you, we show you that.

Speaker 43 We show you that I think it was Fortune magazine and Wall Street Journal.

Speaker 123 They reported on all of these things in pieces.

Speaker 133 Hey, look, he just did

Speaker 81 the pieces together.

Speaker 96 No, I don't.

Speaker 148 Or was there a chasm between all of the pieces?

Speaker 12 Yeah.

Speaker 12 Yeah.

Speaker 179 They put all the pieces.

Speaker 54 They reported on the pieces.

Speaker 139 Nobody has put it all together.

Speaker 46 Peter Schweitzer.

Speaker 90 Yeah, he did a lot of that in his book.

Speaker 8 John Solomon's done some work on more of the Ukraine, but he's been all over that as well.

Speaker 78 There's two investigative reporters that have done it.

Speaker 174 You know, he doesn't run, and nobody looks into that because they don't care because he's out now.

Speaker 174 But if he runs, I would think, you know, that's a pretty important story then, the corruption of Joe Biden and John Kerry.

Speaker 173 But you've got to look into that now, right?

Speaker 97 You've got to

Speaker 173 take that into account now that it's out in the open.

Speaker 40 As long as you're not corrupt, right?

Speaker 12 I think that's the problem.

Speaker 7 That's true.

Speaker 89 I think there's three things sort of protecting him from this.

Speaker 10 One is what you're talking about, Glenn.

Speaker 11 A lot of politicians do this sort of thing with their families, and they don't necessarily want to open up that door and give that Peter Schweitzer

Speaker 140 observation any credit.

Speaker 8 They don't want people to be looking in, because I mean, the Biden people will just start looking into everyone else's, and they'll all find stuff like this.

Speaker 104 I think, too, you also have,

Speaker 8 it is a complicated story.

Speaker 13 I mean, you just told it pretty well, and it's still complicated.

Speaker 117 If you see it on the chalkboard and it's really laid out, you can understand it, but

Speaker 10 it's not an easy, hey, Joe Biden's been sniffing my hair type of moment, right?

Speaker 103 Like it's not, it's, it's a difficult thing to convey.

Speaker 57 But that's the press's job.

Speaker 52 And you notice, you, you just said something fascinating to me because it's absolutely true.

Speaker 29 Nobody's going to go and dig for this except opposition.

Speaker 131 And the opposition may not want to dig for it because then what are they going to find in their opposition?

Speaker 3 You know what I mean? Yeah.

Speaker 4 But that's the job of the press.

Speaker 165 But the press is not opposition.

Speaker 12 They are not opposition. They are opposition.

Speaker 72 They're opposition to Trump, but they are not opposition to the progressives or to the left or the Democratic Party.

Speaker 16 So if the candidates don't make it an issue, they won't make it an issue.

Speaker 13 Yeah, and that's why the third thing is

Speaker 90 if it happens and he gets called out on it, which I think would happen if he were to win the nomination in the general election, but in the primary, you're basically accusing the Obama administration of mass corruption.

Speaker 148 Which they didn't even have a scandal.

Speaker 175 They didn't even have a scandal.

Speaker 174 You don't want to do that.

Speaker 84 Exactly.

Speaker 56 And I think now there's a separation there between Democrats and the socialist, like a Bernie Sanders socialist left who doesn't care about the legacy of the Obama administration, right?

Speaker 103 Like, I think there is that line, and it's possible.

Speaker 94 Look, in this field, there's

Speaker 10 seven or eight legitimate, basically, socialists out there, and then a bunch of other ones that just happen to have all the same policies as socialists.

Speaker 117 But, you know, it is one of them could easily be motivated to take

Speaker 48 it down early.

Speaker 173 Sanders would be the most likely one.

Speaker 84 Warren, I think.

Speaker 99 Maybe you could see one of those.

Speaker 104 There's a few people.

Speaker 89 Sanders doesn't care.

Speaker 10 I mean, Sanders is the one who really doesn't care about the Democrats.

Speaker 8 He's not even a Democrat except this time of year.

Speaker 8 He legitimately switches in and out of the party when it comes to the presidential primary.

Speaker 84 So, this is a guy who doesn't care about the Democrats.

Speaker 93 He doesn't care about the Obama legacy.

Speaker 8 He thinks they didn't go far enough.

Speaker 101 He thinks all these other candidates won't go far enough.

Speaker 117 So, he may try it.

Speaker 105 And I think, you know, look, it's pretty legitimate.

Speaker 91 I mean,

Speaker 148 it's well backed.

Speaker 84 There's banking records that support all this.

Speaker 8 There's reporting of each part of it.

Speaker 140 It's obvious.

Speaker 66 And

Speaker 52 it's so clear on what is happening because of the timing and

Speaker 97 the actual banking transactions, who they got involved with, you know, it's the Secretary of State and the Vice President.

Speaker 128 All of this stuff is so very clear.

Speaker 152 But then you just add the fact that

Speaker 26 these weren't guys who were like, you know what, I'm going to start a financial firm back in 1999.

Speaker 176 They started it in 2009.

Speaker 146 They started it when daddy was sworn into office.

Speaker 145 It's crazy. It's really, truly crazy.

Speaker 131 And it's the sickness that was started and really kind of perfected by the Clintons.

Speaker 51 This is the Clinton Foundation, except they didn't cover it with a, you know, they didn't have to say, well, it's a 501c3.

Speaker 180 No, they didn't do any of that.

Speaker 65 They just straight up went in for business.

Speaker 56 Right.

Speaker 64 And this is why, this is truly why we are headed towards a socialist oligarchy.

Speaker 159 We are headed that the oligarchs are, we're in a place right now where our politicians are saying to themselves, this ain't going to last.

Speaker 29 This just ain't going to last.

Speaker 127 You know what?

Speaker 1 I'm going to set myself up for the future.

Speaker 60 I'm going to get what I can.

Speaker 50 I'll set myself up and my family up for the future.

Speaker 19 And it's the exact transition.

Speaker 51 We're probably 1990.

Speaker 118 maybe 1989 Soviet Union.

Speaker 29 In their thinking, we know I can see the end coming.

Speaker 118 This thing is going to be a train wreck.

Speaker 26 It's going to collapse.

Speaker 31 There's going to be new guards.

Speaker 47 I'm going to be part of the new guard.

Speaker 134 I'm going to take my communist uniform off.

Speaker 62 We're doing the exact opposite.

Speaker 80 I'm going to put my communist or my socialist uniform on.

Speaker 37 And then

Speaker 31 I'll be an oligarch on the other side, and I'll own the gas industry.

Speaker 87 That's why they can't win.

Speaker 97 Yes. They can't win.
Yes. Ever again.

Speaker 12 Yeah. I mean, I don't know why we prevent that.

Speaker 55 And we have to. But they can't win.

Speaker 48 We have to select guards

Speaker 2 for our freedoms of the Constitution and outlined in the Bill of Rights.

Speaker 111 We must hire guards for that at this point.

Speaker 17 And

Speaker 151 I don't know if people

Speaker 61 know if your friends who don't listen to talk radio or don't watch the news every day are not following things.

Speaker 47 I don't know if they realize how close we are to a refounding of this nation.

Speaker 155 And I don't mean that in a good way. That we may be one election away.

Speaker 50 This next election could be the end of the free market,

Speaker 187 could be

Speaker 38 the end of the Constitutional Republic as we know it.

Speaker 80 I mean, America will still go on, but it won't be the America that any of us grew up in.

Speaker 52 And I don't know if you saw the thing from the founder of Home Depot.

Speaker 14 Did you not see that? Do we have that audio? Can we play this audio?

Speaker 144 This is the founder of Home Depot.

Speaker 111 He just came out and put a video out about the free market system.

Speaker 12 Listen a little bit of this.

Speaker 189 the poor. Even the word capitalism is not politically correct to use.
But the reality is that the free market system has created the biggest middle-class population in the world.

Speaker 189 And while some may say socialism is well-intentioned, the fact is it robs people of their independence, their dignity, and their finances, leading to government dependence,

Speaker 53 suppression of ideas, and what makes this crazy to me is

Speaker 176 we're having to say these things.

Speaker 148 We are that close.

Speaker 166 Next Wednesday, a week from tonight, we're doing an all-hands-on-deck

Speaker 166 special called Socialism, a warning from the dead.

Speaker 30 You need to see the plan that was hatched a long time ago that could put us in a period of about three years before this country is flipped.

Speaker 51 We'll show it to you next Wednesday.

Speaker 35 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenbeck program.

Speaker 1 Do you remember every time that I was warning that Nazis, Nazis would rise again in Europe?

Speaker 110 Nazis, in Greece, in Germany, in France, and here in America.

Speaker 183 When I would warn that Nazis would come back, I was called an anti-Semite somehow or another.

Speaker 87 Well, now you can...

Speaker 190 Nazis are everywhere.

Speaker 51 No, no, no, not like my prediction.

Speaker 63 No, no, no.

Speaker 3 Now everyone's a Nazi.

Speaker 172 Everything is a Nazi.

Speaker 61 And today I finally draw the line on the Nazi talk.

Speaker 158 I'm going to introduce you to the fat sex therapist and her Nazi talk in one minute.

Speaker 35 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 28 I don't know if you've noticed, but everything's covered in that yellowish-green dust again, which one of the mayors from one of the Carolinas, I don't remember which one,

Speaker 28 small town there, she said that she was targeted because somebody had put this greenish-yellow dust all over her car.

Speaker 49 And while nothing was written in it, she knew that that was a hate attack.

Speaker 66 Well, yeah, neither that or it's spring.

Speaker 27 And that's Pollen, Your Honor.

Speaker 50 I just don't think I don't I don't know if I can do it but I'm gonna play the audio now of the fat

Speaker 109 sex therapist.

Speaker 107 Don't do us any favors.

Speaker 12 Here it is.

Speaker 192 Body size has always been a marker of coloniality, especially since

Speaker 192 the rise of capitalism in the 1600s and how we've seen white supremacy at work in many of these capitalist structures.

Speaker 93 Again, I totally agree so far.

Speaker 90 I am in on the commitment of coloniality.

Speaker 12 Coloniality.

Speaker 63 It's not even a word.

Speaker 190 It's not even a word.

Speaker 63 You're making up words now.

Speaker 140 I disagree with that.

Speaker 90 Coloniality is definitely.

Speaker 12 Coloniality.

Speaker 193 If it's a word, it's a new word.

Speaker 151 They print words all the time.

Speaker 12 It does just

Speaker 10 showing up mostly in just like social justice.

Speaker 7 Yes.

Speaker 164 They make up words. They're making up words.

Speaker 11 Coloniality of power is a concept interrelating the practices and legacies of European colonialism in social orders and forms of knowledge advanced in post-colonial studies, decoloniality,

Speaker 140 coloniality, and Latin American.

Speaker 94 Who are the two guys that you had on?

Speaker 107 It was Peter Bogozian

Speaker 56 and James Lindsay.

Speaker 89 You had them on for a podcast, which is coming up in a few weeks, I think.

Speaker 56 We're releasing it.

Speaker 14 And these are the guys that, two of the three people who put these fake studies and all these,

Speaker 87 you know,

Speaker 148 this is their stuff.

Speaker 86 Like, these things, they're just a jumble of words.

Speaker 100 Like, they just come up with these new words and they throw them in there and they make it seem like these are proven concepts or have some merit.

Speaker 101 And it makes you sound smart, if you can pronounce them, unlike me. But it makes you sound smart for a few minutes until someone decides to start thinking about it.

Speaker 103 And then they say, wait a minute, what you've just said, it's like that moment in Billy Madison where it's like, everything you've said has just made everyone here dumber.

Speaker 11 Like, that is like you have made everyone here stupid

Speaker 97 because of your answer.

Speaker 53 But what she's doing here is such important work.

Speaker 158 Again, back to the fat sex therapist.

Speaker 192 And so the end of fat phobia means the end of Western civilization as we know it. Stop.

Speaker 12 Stop.

Speaker 180 The end

Speaker 133 of fat phobia

Speaker 172 means the end of Western civilization as we know it.

Speaker 147 So wait, is she arguing for this or against it?

Speaker 84 So she's saying if fat phobia ends, which you'd assume that she wants to happen,

Speaker 8 then it will be the end of Western civilization.

Speaker 101 So she wants that to happen?

Speaker 8 She wants the end of Western civilization.

Speaker 162 Now, here's the thing. Western civilization, fat phobia has nothing to do with anything

Speaker 113 except what people look at and say, I want a piece of that.

Speaker 45 Okay?

Speaker 179 It's what you generally can't have or don't have.

Speaker 159 It's what the rich have.

Speaker 154 That's what it is. It started like this.

Speaker 67 Years and years and years and years and years ago when everybody was a serf or a smurf.

Speaker 144 I'm not sure.

Speaker 166 I'm not up on my colonial.

Speaker 84 What is it again? Coloniality.

Speaker 12 Coloniality.

Speaker 182 Long before the free market system.

Speaker 12 Painters were painting fat asses naked on

Speaker 180 women and hanging them in their castles.

Speaker 151 Why?

Speaker 113 Because the picture of a fat woman was the picture of health and wealth.

Speaker 110 You weren't starving.

Speaker 113 Why did ladies paint their faces so white in France?

Speaker 153 Because you had to work outside to grow your own food.

Speaker 79 So the idea of a very pale skin was a sign of leisure.

Speaker 79 Now we glorify not white skin because white skin, you're sitting indoors all the time.

Speaker 141 You're working.

Speaker 157 The sign of a tan is, oh, he plays golf all the time.

Speaker 73 He must be wealthy.

Speaker 41 Oh, they're outside.

Speaker 80 They must be jet setters.

Speaker 141 That's all this is.

Speaker 161 That's all this is, is a sign of leisure time.

Speaker 114 But fat phobia, that doesn't explain fat phobia.

Speaker 27 Yeah, it does. How?

Speaker 8 People are afraid of fat people, and you've not decided.

Speaker 59 Because

Speaker 80 if you are fat, it's the sign that you are just an average working Joe that is going out there, busting their butt.

Speaker 146 You're a mom in the school, you know, going to take the kids to school.

Speaker 144 You don't have time to work out.

Speaker 7 You're just eating at McDonald's, where the richest personal trainers are.

Speaker 132 They have a personal trainer.

Speaker 194 They have time to go and work out.

Speaker 163 They have time to exercise.

Speaker 29 It's the in-crowd.

Speaker 148 That's all that is?

Speaker 141 That's all that is.

Speaker 8 But you think that's what she's talking about when she's talking about fat phobia?

Speaker 123 No, she's... No, no, no, no.
She's talking about that.

Speaker 8 She's talking about like, you won't hire fat people and you don't think they're sexy.

Speaker 88 And

Speaker 94 it's It's like there's all these privileges of not being fat.

Speaker 87 Correct.

Speaker 116 That's what she's talking about.

Speaker 25 She's talking about

Speaker 47 the privilege of skinny people.

Speaker 23 This is a society of privilege, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Speaker 143 And yes, but it's a human thing.

Speaker 3 But she's also arguing for that to be torn down, right?

Speaker 10 Like she wants Western civilization to end.

Speaker 12 Correct. Okay.
Correct.

Speaker 47 Because it'll be replaced with rainbows and unicorns and puppy dogs.

Speaker 148 Always is. Always is.

Speaker 13 All the countries around the world that have gotten rid of capitalism always worked out well. Yes.

Speaker 32 And boy, you want to talk about skinny people.

Speaker 59 Go to North Korea.

Speaker 116 All right, go ahead.

Speaker 3 Play some more.

Speaker 35 Those things are connected.

Speaker 192 The end of fatphobia would mean the end of racialized capitalism.

Speaker 192 So when I talk about structures and systems, I'm talking about the root of it all. I'm not talking about us making a new law or us,

Speaker 192 I don't know, doing something else stupid like that.

Speaker 192 We need to tear it all down because it's all toxic and bad.

Speaker 13 So she wants to tear down the whole society.

Speaker 153 Because it's all toxic.

Speaker 13 I really don't understand though.

Speaker 107 So the theory being, if we were to become unafraid of fat people,

Speaker 84 then

Speaker 11 racial capitalism would go away.

Speaker 125 Can you draw the connections there?

Speaker 132 Tonight we're going to start talking about how to politicize our definition of body image because oftentimes we actually get stuck thinking of it

Speaker 61 through the lens of a white supremacist.

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 58 White supremacist happens every day in these little things, and yes, even in fat.

Speaker 72 We should be critical of the use of science and production of knowledge to contribute to promoting this idea of certain bodies that are fit, able, and desirable.

Speaker 113 Is my fatness is that what causes my high blood pressure, or is it my experience of weight stigma?

Speaker 154 I'm pretty sure it's your fat, sweetheart.

Speaker 100 By experience of fat stigma? Yes.

Speaker 130 Yes.

Speaker 72 However, she pivots to support scientific findings as she pondered intentionally pursuing weight loss, claiming what we're discovering scientifically

Speaker 144 is that it's just not possible.

Speaker 62 She challenges all authorities, not just the authority that science has given us, but also the legal authority.

Speaker 172 The same way I want to challenge all laws, I want us to challenge all prisons and policing.

Speaker 51 She's a therapist who claimed that she will never have a professional code of ethics that tells her what she's allowed and not allowed to do with her body.

Speaker 28 She doesn't think that it's surprising that the man who shot up Christchurch in New Zealand was a fitness instructor.

Speaker 167 She said there is a clear communication.

Speaker 171 Listen to this.

Speaker 80 There is a clear communication that there is still an idealized body.

Speaker 25 Nazis love this idea of the perfect body, so it makes a lot of sense that he was a fitness instructor.

Speaker 10 You know, she's going to be surprised to hear it doesn't make a lot of sense.

Speaker 8 That's probably something that she should

Speaker 59 be aware of.

Speaker 125 Makes a lot of sense. Does it?

Speaker 158 A lot of sense.

Speaker 5 All fitness instructors are Nazis.

Speaker 183 I'm calling for America to come to its senses on Nazis.

Speaker 183 Nazis are clearly bad guys, but there's a few defining characteristics of a Nazi, and I can't believe I have to go through this, but I will.

Speaker 66 One,

Speaker 78 they hate Jews.

Speaker 61 Two, they hate everyone that doesn't look like them.

Speaker 183 That's important to say it that way because they happened to be in Germany, so they believed in the Aryan race, but you could be called a Nazi if you hate everyone else except your race.

Speaker 12 That's a sign of a Nazi.

Speaker 161 Another sign of a Nazi, and you really have to have more than one.

Speaker 159 You're a nationalist, which means you put your country first at the expense of all others and

Speaker 108 you believe your country should rule the world even if it's through brutal force.

Speaker 40 Next one,

Speaker 153 socialist.

Speaker 182 You have to be a socialist.

Speaker 153 You have to believe that, yes,

Speaker 177 your country should run everything.

Speaker 7 even by force in the entire world, but you also believe your leader and a group of you Nazis should lead the entire country.

Speaker 179 And even if it's through force, tell everybody else what exactly they should do, should not do, what they should eat, how they should work, all of that.

Speaker 157 That's what a Nazi is.

Speaker 1 Not a fitness instructor.

Speaker 144 Okay?

Speaker 51 Not a fitness instructor.

Speaker 179 Also, a Nazi is not necessarily someone you disagree with.

Speaker 179 Yes, I disagree with all Nazis,

Speaker 179 but no, not all people I disagree with are Nazis.

Speaker 6 I didn't follow that.

Speaker 185 No, nobody in America did anymore. Nobody in America does.

Speaker 139 And you know what?

Speaker 80 They don't care to.

Speaker 132 Car repairs are becoming a bigger and bigger problem.

Speaker 64 You used to be able to go to Pet Boys or whatever

Speaker 131 and get a part that you could just

Speaker 64 fix yourself, not anymore.

Speaker 2 Now you have to take out a second mortgage, it seems, for a simple repair.

Speaker 25 And you're often stuck bargain hunting for the best deal because how are you going to afford the $1,000 to change a sensor?

Speaker 28 I don't know why this story appeals to me.

Speaker 29 I'm just going to get it out of my system instead of having it sit on my desk and ignore it until the weekend comes and then throw it away. So, Nicholas Cage is in the news

Speaker 49 because of some angry rendition he did of Purple Rain at some, you know, karaoke club.

Speaker 59 Whatever.

Speaker 23 I don't know why I was actually reading this story,

Speaker 154 but here is here.

Speaker 145 Here it is.

Speaker 31 Apparently, the performance was fueled by his desire to annul his recent marriage of four days.

Speaker 62 Nicholas Cage apparently tired of his new wife

Speaker 144 and has filed for an annulment.

Speaker 145 He says they were wasted when they got married in Vegas and acted on impulse.

Speaker 68 There were signs it wasn't going to end well, apparently.

Speaker 64 They got into a heated argument right before walking down the aisle.

Speaker 145 Erica, however, his wife, doesn't see that way.

Speaker 70 She says the marriage is completely legitimate, and she says Nick has asked her to come back.

Speaker 59 She wants spousal support.

Speaker 116 Four

Speaker 82 days into it, she wants spousal support.

Speaker 100 Well, she got, you know, accustomed to a lifestyle.

Speaker 148 Exactly right.

Speaker 89 Look, he needs to support it.

Speaker 41 It's exactly right.

Speaker 28 I mean, the only reason why this interests me is what happened to Nicholas Cage.

Speaker 11 It has not been a good road.

Speaker 151 It has not been a good road.

Speaker 65 I mean, first he

Speaker 61 didn't have to sell all of his homes.

Speaker 43 He was buying crazy homes everywhere.

Speaker 13 He made lots of money, then got very irresponsible with it.

Speaker 84 Yeah.

Speaker 54 Then had a need to basically make every movie offered to him to try to pay off all the debts.

Speaker 50 Literally.

Speaker 177 And he had to make every movie offered to him.

Speaker 90 So he did, and a lot of them were really, really bad.

Speaker 126 And he's a good actor yeah I mean he's still a good actor he you know but it's tough at this point to take anything he does seriously because he's making you're not going to make bad movies you're not saying oh the new mini Nicholas Cage is out you're seeing it now going oh new Nicholas Cage it could be really good but I'm gonna let somebody else I'm gonna still let somebody else step into that lava pool first you kind of wonder why

Speaker 88 he's not taking stuff like a supporting actor role in a good movie.

Speaker 114 I mean, he can still do that.

Speaker 94 You know, I don't know if he just feels like he has to be the lead.

Speaker 93 Maybe it's like an ego thing, or maybe people are just like, look, we're not, we can't do, this guy's too nuts.

Speaker 9 We can't do anything with him.

Speaker 3 Well, I was going to say, you know,

Speaker 52 it would be good to see this guy turn his life around.

Speaker 76 You know, and you'd think if you'd lost everything, you might have turned your life around.

Speaker 166 Yeah, it might be your bottom, but apparently, no.

Speaker 30 He just, I mean, he's...

Speaker 22 He just got married and four days later, he's like, what have I done?

Speaker 28 I've sobered up.

Speaker 139 No, that was a bad idea.

Speaker 107 He's not exactly signaling competence.

Speaker 12 No, he's really not.

Speaker 182 He's not giving, if you were hiring for movies, you know what I mean?

Speaker 80 You're like, hey, you know, we've got Nicholas, and then somebody hands you that story.

Speaker 136 You're like,

Speaker 45 yeah, I don't think we're going to go with Nicholas Cage.

Speaker 86 It's like, and there's a, there's a certain level of

Speaker 88 because businesses can go bad, right?

Speaker 84 You can have it, you can open up a restaurant and it goes well for a few months.

Speaker 91 And you know what? It's this, maybe people aren't coming as often and then you lose, right?

Speaker 140 And you have to close it down.

Speaker 103 But then there's like the business that opens and like a week later has to close and you're like what was the plan going into this

Speaker 140 like there was a there's a football league that started this year called the aaf and it was like highly promoted they promoted it for an entire year and it launched to much fanfare for you know big sports fans that want some you know football in the summer and the in the spring it go it comes on it debuts it was on i think nbc got it they got a contract there and the nfl network it's the games are on tv it's rolling and like two weeks in there's a story.

Speaker 107 It's like they had to get an immediate cash infusion of $100 million.

Speaker 85 Like, wait a minute, what were they planning on?

Speaker 12 Did they think they were going to sell more tickets than were in the stadium for five times the cost each?

Speaker 147 And then a few weeks after that, they like move the location of the championship game.

Speaker 84 And then two weeks after that, oh, we're folding.

Speaker 183 They didn't make it through the first year.

Speaker 150 Like, you have all of this money, huge names behind it, like big investors.

Speaker 147 And just, you can't even make it through one season.

Speaker 104 Your business plan didn't, I mean, your business plan should basically be: if only 2,000 people show up to every game, we'll still get through this first season.

Speaker 101 And they had much better attendance than that. They had TV contracts, and the thing fails.

Speaker 104 And I just, like, when you're going into it, why are you starting it if every single thing has to go right for you to win?

Speaker 43 Well, I could comment on this, Stu, but I'm saving all my sports commentary for tomorrow.

Speaker 27 Oh, that's right.

Speaker 84 Yeah. NFL Draft Day.

Speaker 97 Yeah.

Speaker 104 We have NFL draft picks with Glenn Beck.

Speaker 14 Okay, now, so here's the thing: mock draft.

Speaker 61 Here's the thing.

Speaker 7 I said it would be good to get Stu to review Game of Thrones without knowing anything about it.

Speaker 65 And so the other day he said, you know what?

Speaker 55 I think turnabout is fair play.

Speaker 153 I think it would be entertaining to have you pick

Speaker 140 the draft, yeah, maybe the top 10

Speaker 12 picks,

Speaker 8 predict them for like a mock draft, and we'll give you the information that you need to make those picks.

Speaker 177 Except I don't think you're giving me the information I need.

Speaker 106 No, we put this together yesterday.

Speaker 91 I think you're going to have plenty. Yeah.

Speaker 87 Yeah.

Speaker 14 I believe it's their dating history, their grades in school.

Speaker 56 We'll see. We'll see what you get to.

Speaker 48 All right.

Speaker 97 That's tomorrow, Glenn's draft picks.

Speaker 35 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

Speaker 126 I'm ready for it. I'm ready for it.

Speaker 122 Let's say you have to mail something important.

Speaker 122 You know,

Speaker 141 let's say you have to put

Speaker 14 your taxes into the mail, and you could fit all of your taxes, wouldn't this be a dream come true, on the back of a post, a postcard.

Speaker 151 Do you send your taxes in on the back of a postcard, you know, with all your information on it?

Speaker 68 I don't think so.

Speaker 120 Why?

Speaker 45 Because you know that's not really private.

Speaker 58 You know somebody in the post office, even though they're not supposed to, kind of read that.

Speaker 81 Not a good idea, right?

Speaker 146 Same thing, you're going into a Starbucks and you're using their Wi-Fi.

Speaker 125 Yes, but it's password protected.

Speaker 12 No, it's not. Everybody has the password.

Speaker 125 Everybody has a password, and it's not really protected at all.

Speaker 53 Hackers can just sit in the same coffee shop and they are looking for your private information.

Speaker 101 Save yourself 10 bucks.

Speaker 144 Okay, so here's the thing, and I'm not going to go over this.

Speaker 14 We went over it yesterday, but just to refresh your memory, in case you didn't hear it yesterday, you've only been hearing this news elsewhere.

Speaker 61 That song sounds really racist, but it is actually from a Broadway play that

Speaker 179 was written for her and another guy who was a civil rights activist whose father was a runaway slave.

Speaker 66 They were mocking racists.

Speaker 80 That's what that was.

Speaker 187 Let me give you another example of this.

Speaker 113 It is exactly the same kind of song.

Speaker 120 Germany was having trouble. Weather says that story from Broadway.

Speaker 120 Where, oh, where was he?

Speaker 120 Where could that man be?

Speaker 120 We looked around and then we found the man for you and me.

Speaker 120 And now

Speaker 120 it's springtime for Hippo and Germany.

Speaker 180 Now, you may not find

Speaker 51 that's why darkies were born to be humorous, but it is the exact same intent as this song.

Speaker 155 And some people may not find, you know, singing about the master race

Speaker 77 being funny either.

Speaker 47 But it is to mock those people.

Speaker 113 But nobody seems to want to even talk about that.

Speaker 98 Have you heard that anywhere, Stu?

Speaker 1 Have you heard anyone talking about this in this way?

Speaker 118 Very little.

Speaker 88 There's been some...

Speaker 54 It's been noted in a few stories.

Speaker 8 You're in paragraph eight, still reading about Kate Smith.

Speaker 8 You could find that out and find a little detail on, hey, this, by the way, was also sung by a civil rights activist, and it had that history.

Speaker 93 But it's not the focus of the story, right?

Speaker 10 The focus of the story is this racist, there's a racist statue out in front of Yankee Stadium, and they took it down.

Speaker 103 And that's what's fascinating, I think, about this from

Speaker 91 when you step back a little bit and start thinking for a moment.

Speaker 87 I think this was in 1933.

Speaker 116 Was it 1931?

Speaker 80 31 was the other song, 33 is this.

Speaker 37 She was very early in her career.

Speaker 98 Right.

Speaker 147 And again, another piece of perspective.

Speaker 107 She was in a situation where she was under contract to do every song assigned to her.

Speaker 13 This is not like today's, it's not like Ariana Grande.

Speaker 101 She doesn't get to pick her own songs.

Speaker 84 She doesn't, you know, that's not what happens back then.

Speaker 8 Back then, you had an executive saying, you should sing this song.

Speaker 94 So it's even possible, right? Like, it doesn't exonerate her.

Speaker 10 from the racism claims because this is a song that was meant to parody racist.

Speaker 101 It was assigned to her.

Speaker 107 She sang it because she had to sing it.

Speaker 10 Now, she may also, every indication is that she would have agreed with this sentiment.

Speaker 147 She recorded 3,000 songs, 3,000 songs, and they've picked out two with these issues, one of which is completely explainable, as we have just talked about.

Speaker 96 The other one was she was playing a role in a movie, basically.

Speaker 101 Again, like all the actors who just sang Springtime for Hitler, do we hold them responsible for Hitler?

Speaker 100 Do we think they're all, do we think they're all white supremacists?

Speaker 170 Well, I saw them in pictures in Nazi uniforms.

Speaker 12 Right.

Speaker 56 Like, it's just crazy.

Speaker 182 And everyone knows it's crazy.

Speaker 96 But, you know, no one remembers what Kate Smith was like.

Speaker 103 No one knows what the perspective of the time is.

Speaker 93 People don't get to paragraph eight of these stories.

Speaker 140 Imagine what her family is feeling. Oh, I know.

Speaker 99 And they're very upset about it.

Speaker 94 I mean, this is a woman who, again, raised, talking about Nazis here, raised the equivalent of $10 billion in war bonds to defeat the Nazis.

Speaker 95 Herself.

Speaker 84 Herself. Herself.

Speaker 85 Some of it was with groups, but I think it was, she did one by herself.

Speaker 91 It was $100 million in one fundraising

Speaker 100 aspect that is now much, much worth much, much more than that.

Speaker 5 that.

Speaker 88 Think about that.

Speaker 117 I mean, that is something that's certainly more than I will ever achieve in my life, that you will ever achieve with your life, that probably almost anyone here will ever achieve in their life.

Speaker 104 If you could raise $10 billion to fight the Nazis, I don't know.

Speaker 106 I mean, think of the work you've done with the Nazarene Fund, for example, which has been amazing.

Speaker 104 I mean, you know, millions and millions of dollars.

Speaker 101 This audience has raised millions and millions of dollars to support pulling Christians out of the Middle East.

Speaker 91 It's been, you know, incredible.

Speaker 149 It wasn't $10 billion, though.

Speaker 138 Like, I mean,

Speaker 94 this is one of the most amazing achievements by an individual probably in our nation's history.

Speaker 1 Now, I contend, I contend that this is only happening because it's, again, tearing down our traditions, tearing down,

Speaker 141 it's all about Kate Smith singing, God bless America.

Speaker 123 That's all that is. That song was written for her.

Speaker 154 That was written for her to be able to raise money to defeat the Nazis.

Speaker 108 So

Speaker 179 we have to erase that.

Speaker 14 That's what this is about.

Speaker 166 But

Speaker 73 it's not going to stop at Kate Smith.

Speaker 162 And you know what?

Speaker 65 America, if this is what you decide to do, then it shouldn't stop at Kate Smith.

Speaker 147 It's true.

Speaker 104 How about the New York Yankees?

Speaker 89 This column from David Marcus, the Federalist, who points out, if you're going after Kate Smith, you also have to fold the New York Yankees franchise because the New York Yankees franchise intentionally kept black athletes off of their team for decades, despite the fact that they were better than many of the white athletes that

Speaker 92 they paid to play baseball.

Speaker 96 There was a ban, a complete ban, as you may remember,

Speaker 101 that black athletes could not cross.

Speaker 91 There was a crossing of the color line that needed to occur, and it didn't occur with the Yankees.

Speaker 94 In fact, it didn't occur to the Yankees until later.

Speaker 96 They went, by the way, this is after 1933 and 1931 when Kate Smith was was supposedly singing these racist songs.

Speaker 96 Years and years after that, the Yankees banned all black people from working on their team.

Speaker 138 Think of which one is worse?

Speaker 14 Somebody who did a parody song to parody how bad racists were

Speaker 108 or

Speaker 141 actual racists working at the U.

Speaker 139 At the New York Yankees.

Speaker 162 saying no black people can work here.

Speaker 101 Think of that. I mean, it's much, much worse.

Speaker 147 And of course, as adults, right,

Speaker 5 we realize, I think correctly today,

Speaker 104 that that was a really bad time, that people were making really bad decisions, and the people who made those decisions were wrong and

Speaker 84 should be looked

Speaker 101 in the context of the time as,

Speaker 94 you know, be judged for some of those actions. I think, obviously, we all admit and all agree that baseball should not have been banning black players.

Speaker 55 However,

Speaker 96 here we are, you know, 70, 80 years later, and we all are like, okay, well, that was a really bad time in history.

Speaker 101 I'm really glad it's gone.

Speaker 91 And you know what? But, you know, the Yankees, people who are there today have nothing to do with that.

Speaker 11 None of those people were there doing it now.

Speaker 101 But the Yankees themselves will tear down a statue of a woman who did not one

Speaker 165 thousandth.

Speaker 104 of what the Yankees did to hurt black people.

Speaker 106 And not to mention not one one thousandth of the good that Kate Smith did for the country.

Speaker 104 Because as we all know, the Yankees are evil.

Speaker 138 So with all of that put together,

Speaker 147 we immediately must fold this franchise if we're going to be morally consistent.

Speaker 96 And we all know that is not the goal here.

Speaker 4 Right. We all know that.

Speaker 77 You have to ask yourself, why was somebody even looking into Kate Smith's history?

Speaker 97 Why?

Speaker 120 Why?

Speaker 182 Just to dismantle our history.

Speaker 30 Just to dismantle and besmirch another tradition.

Speaker 43 Well, what's next on the tradition line?

Speaker 51 And why do you think the New York Yankees would come out and take such a quick and strong stand against in hopes that they will be saved, in hopes that nobody will look into their record and say, wait a minute, you're even worse than Kate Smith, hoping that if they just offer this dead woman and her reputation

Speaker 164 an American hero, really, truly an American hero.

Speaker 9 Give them Czechoslovakia.

Speaker 140 Yes.

Speaker 102 That's just one little thing.

Speaker 140 The Sudan land, just give it to them.

Speaker 138 What's the big deal?

Speaker 144 They promise they're not going to march into Poland.

Speaker 101 They promise they won't.

Speaker 175 They won't. And you know what?

Speaker 94 You can take Adolf at his word, I'm sure.

Speaker 147 Yes. This is what they're doing.

Speaker 94 They're giving the sacrifices and hoping it goes away.

Speaker 11 Well, for the Yankees, at least it shouldn't go away because, number one, they're evil.

Speaker 91 And number two, just like a bunch of other teams, you know, and I think the column makes a good point.

Speaker 104 I think we have to fold every team that wasn't an expansion team.

Speaker 86 Any team that was in this era that banned black players obviously should be folded.

Speaker 101 We should tear down all the stadiums and hope that this dark part of our history can go away and maybe we can relaunch a new New York team.

Speaker 89 Got to be different owners, got to be a different name.

Speaker 94 But maybe the New York can have a baseball team in the future.

Speaker 105 It just can't be related to that horrible thing that we had in the past.

Speaker 14 The Metropolitans.

Speaker 56 Yeah, they already have those, but yes.

Speaker 148 Really?

Speaker 91 Well, they call them the Mets.

Speaker 91 You may be.

Speaker 12 Yeah, you're right.

Speaker 169 The Mets.

Speaker 148 I didn't know it stood for the Metropolitans.

Speaker 153 I'm like, that's, I'm trying to think, what's the worst name you can come up with?

Speaker 148 The Metropolitans.

Speaker 55 And by the way, Glenn's draft coverage coming tomorrow on this show.

Speaker 12 Because it's going to be a freaking adventure.

Speaker 169 That's amazing.

Speaker 86 They should name a basketball team, the Knickerbockers.

Speaker 12 Yes, Glenn. That's a good idea.
They should.

Speaker 14 Well, I'm glad they shortened those.

Speaker 188 All right.

Speaker 61 All right,

Speaker 172 let me tell you about 23andMe.

Speaker 161 23andMe.

Speaker 179 Dad, that's absolutely you.

Speaker 61 Yes, even the trait that says

Speaker 43 my genes,

Speaker 12 usually only found in the world's top athletes.

Speaker 17 Just saying. Really?

Speaker 87 How did they get them there?

Speaker 67 I have no idea.

Speaker 144 You'll find it now at the number 2323andMe.com slash Beck.

Speaker 180 That's 23andMe.com slash Beck.

Speaker 65 Offer ends May 13th.

Speaker 37 You know,

Speaker 57 the Blaze has had

Speaker 31 has had several graduating classes here.

Speaker 115 And one of the original alumni

Speaker 3 is Will Kane.

Speaker 14 And Will is an amazingly smart guy, really good guy.

Speaker 51 He's got a great career going for him.

Speaker 50 And I'm thrilled that he

Speaker 64 really kind of kicked his career off in some ways here.

Speaker 28 And now at ESPN, and he is demonstrating such courage. He didn't have to get involved in this Kate Smith thing, but listen to this argument.

Speaker 26 What show is this from, Stu?

Speaker 89 I don't remember.

Speaker 94 It's him, and Stephen A.

Speaker 8 Smith, and I think Max Kellerman from ESPN.

Speaker 152 So listen to what Will has to say about Kate Smith.

Speaker 190 You're asking me and Max.

Speaker 189 Will, what are you suggesting should be done?

Speaker 169 Okay.

Speaker 197 I'm suggesting it's an absolute and utter fool's errand to go back through history, decades, someone who's been passed away for 30 years, incidents which occurred eight decades ago, and apply modern historical standards to something you can almost reach a century.

Speaker 197 I'm suggesting that your standard, yours, only requires a handful of people to be a little outraged to go back and tear statues down.

Speaker 197 And I'm telling you that by your standard, President Obama's statues would not stand to today's standards when it comes to gay rights.

Speaker 120 And that today is...

Speaker 63 That's fair. That's Obama.

Speaker 12 That's fair. Don't ask me.
That's fair. What are you talking about?

Speaker 120 Marcus only opposed gay rights. And what I talked to is that would be a tough thing.

Speaker 190 That's pretty damn easy for you to say because you're not the offended party. It's real easy for

Speaker 190 the the person or the group that's not the offended party to take that position.

Speaker 85 And let me let me just say, you're going

Speaker 12 to be all, by the way.

Speaker 87 That's not.

Speaker 11 I mean, as a member of the not offended party in almost every circumstance, it is not easy at all.

Speaker 105 The easiest thing in the world is to act offended, right?

Speaker 188 It's called virtue signaling.

Speaker 12 Exactly.

Speaker 102 That's the easiest thing in the world to do.

Speaker 55 Just go on with whatever party is being offended.

Speaker 11 You side with them.

Speaker 104 You look virtuous.

Speaker 89 You can't get in trouble.

Speaker 102 It's the easiest thing in the world to do.

Speaker 79 It takes great courage to do what

Speaker 97 Will Kane did.

Speaker 113 And it takes a little bit of thinking.

Speaker 69 Now, I don't know anything about Stephen's.

Speaker 100 Stephen A. Smith? Yeah.

Speaker 100 Stephen A.

Speaker 8 Smith is, you know, he's an interesting guy because sometimes you're like, yes, yes, I totally agree with what he's saying.

Speaker 91 And then other times you're like, oh, man, why?

Speaker 43 I mean, this takes no thinking at all.

Speaker 61 I mean, listen to what he just said.

Speaker 83 You know, I'm the, my people are the

Speaker 14 aggrieved party.

Speaker 146 Well, that's why we we don't put the family of those who a crime has been committed against in the jury box, nor do we put them in the seat of judgment on sentencing.

Speaker 160 We don't.

Speaker 62 We can listen to the aggrieved party and hear them and say, okay, I see how much damage has been done here, and we'll take that into consideration.

Speaker 57 But we don't let the aggrieved party judge or sentence.

Speaker 131 That's what's different about america you're supposed to be blind on this and and if you are angry

Speaker 79 you don't listen and that's not that's not me saying that that's science you don't listen your shields go up because you're angry and you're injured the the kate smith thing is so easy to talk about because

Speaker 77 A, it didn't just happen 80, 90 years ago.

Speaker 184 It was a parody.

Speaker 164 It was making fun of racists at the time.

Speaker 55 But you're so angry about it that you won't even listen to that.

Speaker 55 You won't even look for that.

Speaker 88 It's similar to OJ, right?

Speaker 140 Like,

Speaker 13 it wasn't listening to the evidence that made him be not guilty.

Speaker 84 Even as

Speaker 150 jurors on the case have now admitted it wasn't about him.

Speaker 101 It was about how we've been wronged all this time.

Speaker 8 That's a terrible way to make decisions on individuals. But if you happen to be a collectivist, well, then it makes a lot of sense.

Speaker 94 And that's why this fight between individualism and collectivism is so important. I mean, because you can always be on the wrong side.

Speaker 8 Anyone can say they're the offended party.

Speaker 10 It's a great job by Will Kane there to stand up.

Speaker 101 He's not perfect. I mean, he's a Cowboys fan, but other than that, he's pretty good.

Speaker 14 Coming up next, my hometown, Seattle, dying.

Speaker 44 We've got a great show lined up, a great hour for you that you don't want want to miss, especially if you're a lover of socialism or you know what socialism really is.

Speaker 17 That's coming up in just a second.

Speaker 2 Realestateagentsitrust.com is our spotlight sponsor this half hour.

Speaker 42 Realestateagentsitrust.com.

Speaker 18 It's a company that I started, I don't know, years ago and started it just

Speaker 26 as a way for us to connect you to the right real estate agent, just born out of frustration for me and trying to buy a house or sell a house and not knowing who the right real estate agent is.

Speaker 32 Realestateagentsitrust.com.

Speaker 31 We started it years ago.

Speaker 18 The results are absolutely amazing.

Speaker 17 The letters that come in, the people that have connected and sold their house.

Speaker 75 Some of them tried to sell their house for like a year and a half.

Speaker 113 They'll sell it in six weeks.

Speaker 54 These are the people who get the job done.

Speaker 36 It's realestateagentsitrust.com, realestateagentsitrust.com.

Speaker 35 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenbeck program.

Speaker 194 You know, I've...

Speaker 44 I'm trying to come up with a fair definition for what I think American socialism

Speaker 52 is to people who claim to be democratic socialists.

Speaker 57 Something that is fair but accurate.

Speaker 82 And if you look at Seattle and you think,

Speaker 20 What happened to that city?

Speaker 75 How did they get to where they are?

Speaker 168 Look at San Francisco.

Speaker 12 How did that happen?

Speaker 12 Well,

Speaker 68 I think because of the definition of how I would define socialism,

Speaker 137 I want to talk about what's happening to these great, great cities and

Speaker 1 the absolute effect of socialism that is now being pushed as the answer for the entire country.

Speaker 80 You want to see our future?

Speaker 137 So

Speaker 136 KOMO News did a documentary on Seattle called Seattle is Dying. And a friend of mine from Seattle sent it to me and I watched it.

Speaker 115 And I couldn't believe it was the same city that I knew and loved and grew up in.

Speaker 185 It is turning into an absolute nightmare.

Speaker 26 And not just a nightmare for the people who live there,

Speaker 7 you know, and are doing well or whatever, but for the homeless and the

Speaker 1 mentally unstable.

Speaker 157 It is becoming a concentration camp.

Speaker 131 It's horrible, all in the name of justice.

Speaker 36 It is horrible what is happening in Seattle.

Speaker 70 It's almost a complete breakdown.

Speaker 31 I asked Stu to watch it. Did you watch the whole thing?

Speaker 12 Yeah.

Speaker 50 Incredible, wasn't it?

Speaker 11 It really is great.

Speaker 10 I had no idea it was as bad as the documentary showed. I mean, you know, look, we all know that every city has areas and problematic issues, but this goes way beyond

Speaker 103 anything that I've seen anywhere else because essentially they portrayed it as the city has basically,

Speaker 10 I wouldn't say given up, I would say intentionally is avoiding trying to make these situations better, I guess on the basis basis of social justice for

Speaker 14 I don't know if it's the homeless people or people who use drugs or whatever it is, they're not prosecuting any of these crimes anymore.

Speaker 100 They're not trying to stop them.

Speaker 11 They're just letting everyone do whatever they want.

Speaker 13 So everyone's deciding, you know what looks like a toilet?

Speaker 84 That place right there in the middle of the sidewalk.

Speaker 112 So in fact, let me play a couple of the cuts from this documentary because this is what is happening all over the country. The progressives...

Speaker 73 have gone nuts.

Speaker 1 It's now full-fledged Marxism, and they are not enforcing the laws.

Speaker 151 It's chaos.

Speaker 55 It's horrible.

Speaker 134 And all in the name of compassion.

Speaker 72 Listen, here's Scott Lindsay on the homelessness and the rise in crime.

Speaker 125 Go ahead, Colin.

Speaker 198 This is a list of familiar faces, repeat offenders, people who break the laws, get caught, get released, and break the laws again and again and again.

Speaker 198 There are a hundred names on the list. Scott Lindsay is the man who dived into public records and researched the list.

Speaker 191 If we take somebody into the jail, don't give them meaningful help, and then put them right back out on the streets, we know they're going to commit the same crimes in the same places.

Speaker 191 And our public records, our criminal justice records, really show that that's exactly what's happening.

Speaker 198 Look at the sheer volume of criminal cases. Calvin A, 68 criminal cases since 2002, repeated random assaults on random individuals.
Drainon B, 54 criminal cases since 2016.

Speaker 198 Michelle C., 72 cases since 2000. And the the list goes on and on.
Seattle's mayor says this.

Speaker 195 It is wrong to conflate homelessness with a rise in crime.

Speaker 156 For at least 100 people, it would at the very least appear to be a factor.

Speaker 198 Of the 100 that you looked at, what percentage of them were homeless?

Speaker 191 Yeah, from our criminal justice records, 100% had indicators that they were currently homeless.

Speaker 198 And what percent showed signs of addiction?

Speaker 191 Yeah, 100% also showed signs of a substance use disorder.

Speaker 198 And what percent were mentally ill?

Speaker 191 Yeah, a little less than half had been evaluated by the courts formally for mental health conditions, serious, severe mental health conditions.

Speaker 27 That's incredible.

Speaker 186 Dozens and dozens and dozens of times, the same people, they pick them up and can't do anything about them.

Speaker 39 Now, listen to this.

Speaker 72 Imagine being a police officer in Seattle.

Speaker 163 Let's play Homeless Man Says He's Conquered Justice System.

Speaker 58 This is an amazing scene.

Speaker 198 And escalated into assaulting police officers.

Speaker 28 He's standing in a garbage can.

Speaker 198 A bunch of cops were deployed.

Speaker 191 Stand up so we can get out of here.

Speaker 198 Briggie spit on them. Don't spit.

Speaker 120 Fought them. Hey, no biting.

Speaker 169 Don't bite yourself either. Sand up, Travis.
We're going to the gurney. Here's the gurney.

Speaker 12 It lasted hours.

Speaker 199 Well, I'm actually not even high right now.

Speaker 198 Travis is outrageously unapologetic about his life and his world. He could care less about yours.

Speaker 45 Do you steal for your habit?

Speaker 199 I actually just started stealing. Last Monday, I started stealing.

Speaker 95 And

Speaker 116 oh my god, dude.

Speaker 199 That was one of the hardest sacrifices is to like do unrighteous things in front of my dudes.

Speaker 191 Travis, just relax. Travis, do you want to smoke?

Speaker 191 Travis, you want to smoke or a candy bar?

Speaker 120 No!

Speaker 169 But um...

Speaker 191 Will you continue to do that?

Speaker 199 Oh, I'm i'm having a blast now it is so much fun what what should the system do with a guy like you um i think that this system has has done uh what any

Speaker 138 viable um

Speaker 199 legitimate system would and they've really like exalted me uh

Speaker 199 and like shown uh deference and and love towards me back the f ⁇ go i want to see you big it up with your mouth remember when you caught it with your toes and like i don't feel like i'll ever be arrested again.

Speaker 199 I haven't been in jail for like a year and three months or so, you know? So a change like that, responding to a big change, definitely shows that I have conquered the criminal justice system.

Speaker 198 Want to know the sad part, the truly frustrating part?

Speaker 198 He's probably right.

Speaker 43 That's amazing.

Speaker 11 These scenes look like they're out of like Reno 911. They don't even look real.

Speaker 10 Like Ronnie Dobbs for Mr. Show.
Like this, some guy who's just out there going crazy on the cops.

Speaker 14 And I mean, it looks like a parody of the television show cops, but it's actually happening.

Speaker 144 And the cops are leaving.

Speaker 155 The cops can't do it anymore.

Speaker 48 Let me play the third cut here.

Speaker 44 Seattle cops express frustrations.

Speaker 144 Listen to this.

Speaker 198 One officer wrote simply, yes, I am frustrated because I'm a law enforcement officer that is told not to enforce the law.

Speaker 13 Another wrote, it's simple.

Speaker 198 Start keeping criminals in jail.

Speaker 198 Judges need to stop giving them ridiculously low sentences, and prosecutors need to stop accepting cheesy plea deals and actually lock people up when they commit a crime.

Speaker 198 That's all it would take to drastically lower Seattle's crime rate.

Speaker 198 Another officer said, people come here because it's called Friatle, and they believe if they come here, they will get free food, free medical treatment, free mental health treatment, a free tent, free clothes, and will be free of prosecution for just about everything.

Speaker 198 And they're right. It didn't used to be that way.
Law enforcement officers used to be able to enforce the laws. This officer continues.

Speaker 198 In the last five years, there has been a culture shift, and it started with the legislature decriminalizing felonies and dumping convicts onto the streets. And then there is this.

Speaker 198 An officer says, even if quality warrant arrests are made, the judicial system sees fit to let them out of jail within a couple of days, often the next day.

Speaker 198 Why are we risking our lives to take felony-level fugitives into custody if they're just going to be released?

Speaker 198 Prosecutor's office and judges alike seem to be drinking all the Kool-Aid, causing a huge disconnect and a broken system with absolutely no teeth.

Speaker 155 He went on to say, people will ask why didn't we put any of the officers that responded positively about it?

Speaker 2 And he said, because we received exactly zero responses from police officers that were positive.

Speaker 128 Seattle is dying, and it's dying because of a socialist system, and it is spreading all over the country.

Speaker 30 Just this last weekend, the Dallas, Texas DA said, as long as people steal things that are worth less than $750,

Speaker 12 he will not prosecute, unless it was to enrich themselves.

Speaker 66 What the hell does that even mean?

Speaker 128 What he meant was: there are people that need things,

Speaker 164 and if they go into a store and they really need it, and it's less than $750,

Speaker 182 unless they were taking that to sell it,

Speaker 39 you know, then they're okay.

Speaker 62 We're not going to prosecute.

Speaker 133 That's the kind of stuff that leads to what's happening in Seattle and San Francisco.

Speaker 65 And it is destroying so many of our our great, great cities.

Speaker 66 It's destroying them.

Speaker 1 Will anyone stand up?

Speaker 123 Well, the people are in Seattle.

Speaker 113 And what was so incredible in this documentary was to see how out of touch, no,

Speaker 61 to see how arrogant the city council and the mayors are.

Speaker 23 and see how they despised the people who voted for them.

Speaker 48 They despise them.

Speaker 129 We go there in one minute.

Speaker 120 First,

Speaker 39 let me tell you about 19 guns they're giving away on Friday.

Speaker 30 19 guns from the USCCA.

Speaker 70 I want you to get registered to win one of these handguns.

Speaker 143 They're great new handguns.

Speaker 30 If you would like one, the USCCA is the United States Concealed Carry Association, top provider of self-defense education, training, and legal protection in the country.

Speaker 43 Their membership is really amazing.

Speaker 61 They're giving away free guns to responsible Americans just to introduce themselves to you.

Speaker 66 All you have to do to get one of your 19 free chances to win is just text the word Beck to 87222.

Speaker 55 You get 19 chances to win with one text, one word, Beck, to 87222.

Speaker 61 Go right now. You'll find out what gun they're giving away.

Speaker 28 It's an awesome gun.

Speaker 62 All you have to do is just text the word back to 87222 right now.

Speaker 33 We break for 10 seconds.

Speaker 61 Station ID.

Speaker 34 Okay.

Speaker 24 Seattle.

Speaker 40 On fire.

Speaker 55 Totally on fire.

Speaker 62 Let me play cut for Seattle cop blogger quits.

Speaker 152 Calls it a concentration camp. Listen to this.

Speaker 198 There was a police officer named Todd Wiebke. He prided himself on getting his boots dirty, on meeting the people on the fringes, in the camps.

Speaker 198 He tried to find common ground as human beings, and he tried to police. He wrote a blog for a long time, first-person musings about patrolling what happens in the dark shadows of West Seattle.

Speaker 59 Not long ago, he wrote this.

Speaker 198 This week I dealt with crisis, with narcotics, with heartache, and with liars. Sometimes all at once, sometimes one at a time.

Speaker 198 I am helpless to unlock the doors when dealing with a person trapped in a horror inside of their own mind. Lord, I try, but I am a limited man with just a little skill.

Speaker 171 I still love coming to work.

Speaker 198 We have an awesome city with the ability to adapt and overcome. The only way to lose is to not try.
We are trying to solve this crisis, and we will not lose.

Speaker 198 And then one day this past October, Todd Wiebke was told by one superior to impound an RV and clean up the spot. And when he did it, another superior scolded him for doing so because of new protocol.

Speaker 198 He had a belly full and he walked into HR and he quit, retired, just like that.

Speaker 200 I feel like I abandoned the ship, that I walked away, and I did because I couldn't do it anymore.

Speaker 200 It was just the bureaucracy built up to the point where I felt like I was no longer necessary as a police officer, that the system had a different idea of how they wanted to handle it, and I was an appendix.

Speaker 200 I needed to be gone, so I'm gone.

Speaker 55 Ask anyone.

Speaker 198 They'll tell you this was a good cop, the kind we want out there, the kind we need.

Speaker 200 But I will tell you that there is no morale.

Speaker 200 There's a love for the job.

Speaker 198 He says the drugs, the camps, the theft, the rot, and the disgrace of it all don't have to destroy Seattle.

Speaker 45 They're being allowed to.

Speaker 200 Everybody's trying to do the right thing. It's just coming out wrong.

Speaker 198 Listen to these next words carefully.

Speaker 198 Let them sink in.

Speaker 200 You know, I've said it before, and I'll say it again: that the only thing I can equate it to is we're running a concentration camp without barbed wire, up to and including the medical experiment of poisoning these people with drugs.

Speaker 200 I don't know how else to put it, and it's infuriating.

Speaker 51 Now, when people speak out, they're shouted down.

Speaker 158 Here's a lifetime resident of Seattle calling out the city council for ignoring solutions to the homeless problem.

Speaker 2 Listen.

Speaker 171 Steve Danaschek has spent his whole life in Seattle.

Speaker 198 He says when misdemeanors stopped being enforced, it was the beginning of the end. And at that point, everyone got the message.
It's a free-for-all down here. It's the Wild West.

Speaker 45 No laws apply. Do whatever you want.

Speaker 198 I could go down here and pee on the street or crap over there or smoke a joint.

Speaker 45 No one's going to get arrested for doing that because they're not doing that.

Speaker 198 They're not arresting anyone. If I was a city council member, I might say, well, we're overwhelmed.
We've got this homeless epidemic.

Speaker 130 No, no, no, no.

Speaker 198 The city council is not overwhelmed by anything. The city council are idiots.

Speaker 126 They know that there are solutions out there.

Speaker 198 They simply have turned their back on the solutions.

Speaker 28 The problem is, and you see in this documentary, it's from KOMO News in Seattle called Seattle is Dying.

Speaker 29 Watch it because it's coming to a city near you.

Speaker 158 The city council is brutal, brutal to the people who are standing up.

Speaker 179 They're like, you got to call the police.

Speaker 113 And the people are saying, I did call the police and they said to come to you.

Speaker 172 Now you're sending me back to the police.

Speaker 123 People are just getting the runaround.

Speaker 51 That's why when I'm trying to describe this socialism, this Marxism that's coming, I try to do it charitably, but it is a group of non-expert experts who believe truly that they are smarter than the people that they serve.

Speaker 65 They make the rules, the laws, and market decisions that, yes, may hurt individuals.

Speaker 25 But those individuals are just part of out-of-faber groups.

Speaker 55 And those individuals can either afford it or deserve it.

Speaker 66 All things are done

Speaker 59 in the guise of or for the goal of social or economic justice.

Speaker 155 As those things begin to break down, those in control also begin to abuse their power through graft, greed, and ignorance.

Speaker 142 That's what's happening.

Speaker 58 They're just getting

Speaker 170 cronies coming in saying, oh, no, you're a genius.

Speaker 30 No, we can fix this.

Speaker 80 No, that's right.

Speaker 30 Give me some power. Give me some money and I'll help you.

Speaker 27 And the people are getting, and the people on city council and the people in city hall are growing further and further away from the people and the problem.

Speaker 132 And that's what's happening in Washington, D.C.

Speaker 53 as well.

Speaker 132 Those people

Speaker 43 in Washington, D.C., do you think they actually like you?

Speaker 42 Do you think Nancy Pelosi wants to come over to your house and have dinner at your house?

Speaker 155 Do you think she would just fit in with all of your friends?

Speaker 113 That she'd be saying the same kinds of things that you're saying?

Speaker 66 Do you think?

Speaker 129 Because I don't.

Speaker 137 I don't think most of the people in Washington would be comfortable around you.

Speaker 142 Would be comfortable around me.

Speaker 170 They would come and see me because I have some sort of influence, they think.

Speaker 61 And so they'll come and see me, but they don't want to.

Speaker 145 They don't need to come see you, especially if we get rid of the Electoral College.

Speaker 47 They'll never see you.

Speaker 33 That's what's happening in Seattle.

Speaker 81 The elites are running it because they know better than the other people that live here.

Speaker 110 And they don't know Jack.

Speaker 159 And they're destroying our cities.

Speaker 123 And they're about to destroy our nation.

Speaker 113 And here's the amazing thing.

Speaker 87 We're

Speaker 43 almost celebrating it.

Speaker 123 We're almost celebrating it.

Speaker 28 So many people in our country are just so blindly attaching to the emotions, to the feelings, or to the word that they don't even understand, socialism.

Speaker 38 A week from tonight, A free event that we want everyone to watch, you, your family, everyone.

Speaker 51 It's called Socialism, a warning from the dead.

Speaker 66 This warning actually comes from a former Soviet ally or former Soviet

Speaker 46 protectorate

Speaker 151 from their historians in the communists' vault of how to flip a nation.

Speaker 113 It only takes them three years.

Speaker 39 I'm telling you, after reading what they were doing in the 1950s, 1950s, boy, it's not going to take three years from here.

Speaker 76 They're already doing it, and we're very close.

Speaker 79 We give that special to you free on all platforms next week, Blaze TV.

Speaker 12 Yes.

Speaker 132 We're talking about a documentary that came out from KOMO News in Seattle called Seattle is Dying.

Speaker 52 I was shocked by this documentary because I grew up in the Seattle area, grew up in Mount Vernon, Washington.

Speaker 36 I love Seattle. It's one of my favorite cities.

Speaker 29 And it's just being destroyed.

Speaker 49 And I saw this documentary and I thought, I recognize the street corners that this is all happening on.

Speaker 78 This used to be a great part of the city.

Speaker 72 It's now just a horror show.

Speaker 129 And all in the name of Marxism and compassion, they are just destroying people.

Speaker 141 And I mean the homeless people, just destroying them.

Speaker 14 And all of the people that are living there are living through hell.

Speaker 14 And it doesn't seem to me like the city council has anything but contempt for the people who live in Seattle, pay taxes, and are trying to run businesses or just go to work.

Speaker 154 Ari Hoffman, he is a board member on a cemetery in Seattle that was part of this documentary.

Speaker 155 And we wanted to get him on to talk a little bit about

Speaker 37 his experience and what happened with the cemetery that he's a board member of.

Speaker 140 Hello, Ari. How are you?

Speaker 202 Good morning, Glenn. How are you doing today?

Speaker 60 Very good. Thank Thank you for coming on the program.

Speaker 37 My pleasure.

Speaker 50 Sure. I don't know your politics, don't really care about your politics, but do want to hear about your experience

Speaker 82 in Seattle and

Speaker 72 what happened to you and the cemetery that you're a board member of.

Speaker 202 Sure, I've been on the board for about 10 years, and the cemetery has been around for 130 years. And the name of the cemetery is Beaker Kolen, which translates to helping the sick.

Speaker 202 And it funds our synagogue services for the Jewish community. And what happened was I got a call about a year ago exactly that said, hey, Ari, we have a problem.

Speaker 202 Prostitution, drug dealers, pimps, drug dealers, and addicts have all moved into the cemetery. We have a real problem here.
They're causing hundreds of thousands of dollars of damage.

Speaker 202 Can you help us out? And I went to elected officials. I went to city officials.
I went to anybody I thought could help, and nobody was interested in helping us.

Speaker 202 So I took it to the media, and we started this massive media campaign, and finally enough pressure was brought to bear that things started changing.

Speaker 202 And we even had to bring armed former Israeli soldiers out to the cemetery to guard some kids who are putting flags in the ground for a Memorial Day event that they do every year.

Speaker 121 What part of Seattle is it?

Speaker 12 This isn't a bad part of Seattle?

Speaker 12 I mean, or is it all Seattle?

Speaker 120 It's in Northgate.

Speaker 202 This is in Northgate, which is a nice neighborhood in Seattle, and nothing ever happens out there. We haven't had anything like this in 130 years of being in operation.

Speaker 202 And because of policies by the Seattle City City Council, this is now happening.

Speaker 133 So what are the policies that lead people to go and live in a cemetery?

Speaker 202 It's pretty much enabling behavior. People are coming from across the country because they hear that they can get free whatever they want in Seattle, and nobody's going to do anything.

Speaker 202 Nobody's going to enforce the rule of law and they can get away with whatever they want. They can live wherever they want and nobody's going to do anything about it.

Speaker 62 When I was in San Francisco a few years ago,

Speaker 123 I was driving my car and these homeless people came, and they were walking in the street, and they just started pounding on my hood.

Speaker 42 And they were just, they were belligerent.

Speaker 154 Who do you think you are with your car?

Speaker 135 And I was like, I'm just driving to the hotel.

Speaker 66 I'm what?

Speaker 61 And they were, you know, coming across the street, and they made it very clear they own the street, not the cars, not the people who are trying just to, you know,

Speaker 49 get to and fro and obeying the law.

Speaker 82 They own the street.

Speaker 3 Is that attitude

Speaker 43 pervasive now in Seattle as well?

Speaker 202 Yes, near my office in Georgetown, which is a more industrial area, a whole bunch of these RVs have moved in, these broken-down vehicles, which people are living in.

Speaker 202 And the city council keeps claiming these are homeless people, but I know that they're running drugs and other criminal enterprises out of these vehicles.

Speaker 202 And when I go up to confront them to get them to move, they say things to me like, I make more money dealing drugs than you'll ever see in a lifetime. It's become a very dangerous neighborhood.

Speaker 202 It's not safe. And Georgetown is unique because it has a residential neighborhood mixed in with commercial neighborhood.
And the residents there are beside themselves.

Speaker 202 So one of these people sold in a full-size semi-truck, the cab part of it, and crashed it into a few cars the other day. It's just out of control in that neighborhood.

Speaker 61 So Ari, you're running for city council.

Speaker 202 Yes, sir. I decided I had enough of what was going on and that the only way to get things done sometimes is to step in yourself and try and get it done.
So that's what I did.

Speaker 202 I stepped up to the plate and said, it's got to be better than what these guys are doing. And I started doing my research and I started analyzing it.
And I realized this was all a policy problem.

Speaker 202 And it was all the behavior they were enabling in Seattle. And they're not treating the drug addiction.
They're not treating the mental illness. And they're calling it a

Speaker 202 housing crisis, a homeless crisis.

Speaker 22 So, but it is really, and I don't want to get into politics, but

Speaker 23 it is this

Speaker 43 social and economic justice attitude

Speaker 36 that creates these policies that are so prevalent in Seattle and San Francisco and the arrogance that usually goes with that.

Speaker 61 I mean, I've seen clips of the city council.

Speaker 24 They're not listening to the people.

Speaker 97 They don't care about the people.

Speaker 32 It's almost like they despise the people.

Speaker 202 It sure seems like that to me as well. We try to talk to them.
They refused to meet with us.

Speaker 202 One of them was supposed to come out to the cemetery to meet with us and send staff instead, even though we had organized the community to be there to meet with them.

Speaker 202 Another one refused to meet with us and said, flat out had their staff tell us they're not meeting with us. And I just had enough of that.

Speaker 202 So what what I did was I took their office number and their email for their office and I put it online and I said, hey, Jewish community, let them know what you think.

Speaker 202 And six hours later, they called me for a meeting because they got so much pressure.

Speaker 202 But at the same time, after that meeting, they said, you know, they made all these promises in this meeting and they didn't follow through on any of them. And we still had to do things ourselves.

Speaker 202 I mean, during the winter, things got better at the cemetery just because people didn't want to be outside. They moved to other areas of Seattle.

Speaker 202 But just two weeks ago, the RVs came back and we're dealing drugs again. And thank God we got a grant in the off off-season, I'll call it,

Speaker 202 for safety at the cemeteries. And we had to send the guards back out there to enforce things.
Jeez.

Speaker 27 How's your election going?

Speaker 202 Well, I'm getting so many attacks online. I must be the frontrunner.

Speaker 119 We don't really do polling for these kind of things, city councils.

Speaker 166 Well, you're Jewish, so I don't know if you're a frontrunner.

Speaker 139 I mean, Jewish people tend to be a target now,

Speaker 115 unfortunately.

Speaker 2 And I'm sorry for that, but

Speaker 28 you can't put anything into attacks, attacks, but at least you're over the target if they're attacking you.

Speaker 17 Exactly.

Speaker 202 I heard a good line from somebody that if you're getting heavy flack, you must be over the target.

Speaker 202 And I think my message is really resonating because there's people from all over Seattle, from all sides of the political spectrum, saying they want to support me because enough is enough and things have just gone too crazy.

Speaker 202 And that's the most unique thing to me is how united the citizens seem to be in wanting a change on the Seattle City Council and wanting to push back of these policies that enabled all this.

Speaker 41 I will tell you that I was struck by KOMO News,

Speaker 48 the way this was written.

Speaker 29 I don't know how many times they asked the question, is this compassion?

Speaker 72 And the documentary was, I thought, really well done

Speaker 31 and kept asking the question for a Seattle with a way for them to hear is through the heart that

Speaker 136 if you're doing these things because you think this is compassion, you're wrong.

Speaker 176 You're sadly mistaken.

Speaker 145 You are seeing people on the, you know, that are,

Speaker 154 you know, elect, or the people who are electing officials, are you seeing elected officials at all waking up?

Speaker 72 Is there any sign that anybody else that's already in office is waking up going, hey, guys, this doesn't work?

Speaker 202 Not really. It seems more like they're saying the things that people want to hear occasionally so that that way they may have a chance at re-election.

Speaker 202 But it seems that the average citizen has said, I'm tired of being called non-compassionate when I'm trying to get people treatment for drug addiction.

Speaker 202 I'm tired of being called non-compassionate when I'm trying to get people into shelters.

Speaker 202 I'm tired of being called non-compassionate because I don't want people sleeping on the streets or in their cars. And the citizens are tired of being told they're not compassionate.
Yeah.

Speaker 58 All right. Thank you so much.

Speaker 124 Appreciate it. And good luck.

Speaker 12 Hoffman. Thank you for having me.

Speaker 44 You bet, HoffmanforSeattle.com.

Speaker 36 Don't know his politics, but if you want to check it out, HoffmanforSeattle.com.

Speaker 130 I don't think if you're in Seattle, you care about the politics of the person.

Speaker 186 You just want someone who's taking that issue seriously. It doesn't seem like there's anyone there doing it.

Speaker 186 You want someone who's going to take that on and actually be brave enough to stand up and say, hey, this is wrong.

Speaker 108 I think that's what's happening all over the world.

Speaker 43 People just, they just don't care.

Speaker 39 And in Seattle, they're letting people out on the streets that are really, really sick and people that they know are going to commit more crimes.

Speaker 23 I mean, I don't know if you saw, did you see in the documentary the story of the rapist?

Speaker 186 I mean, you want to talk about real consequences? Listen to this.

Speaker 198 Police say that on July 20th of 2017, this man, Louis Arby III, 41 years old, removed the screen from a woman's window at an assisted living facility in SeaTac and crawled in.

Speaker 198 The woman inside was brutalized for an hour. She was raped and beaten and choked and robbed.
Police say Louis Arby also urinated on the floor.

Speaker 198 Afterwards, police say he left through the same window he'd entered through. The victim was treated for bleeding on the brain, a broken nose, and other injuries.
She was 71 years old. Oh my gosh.

Speaker 198 It was a shocking and disturbing crime, but perhaps we shouldn't have been all that surprised.

Speaker 198 Just four days before the rape, just 96 hours before police say he scarred one woman's life forever, Louis Arby III was arrested here, sitting next to the fountain, right outside the King County Courthouse.

Speaker 198 Police say he was selling methamphetamine.

Speaker 198 That's him in the back of the squad car after the arrest.

Speaker 171 He was booked and then released almost immediately.

Speaker 198 Our criminal justice system decided that he shouldn't spend even 24 hours in jail.

Speaker 198 But even a brief look at his record would have shown that Louis Arby had come from California, where he'd spent 19 years in prison for kidnapping, robbery, and carjacking.

Speaker 198 And had prosecutors looked a little more closely, they'd have known that Arby was the only suspect in a case three months prior in which a woman was taken hostage, forcibly shot full of drugs, and viciously raped and beaten for 15 hours.

Speaker 198 The King County Prosecutor's Office says, in this case, we had information that he had a 1995 California conviction for kidnap to commit robbery and other offenses.

Speaker 198 The prosecutors assigned to the investigation had no knowledge of other pending investigation.

Speaker 198 And so we are left with a question. How is it that a man is arrested in front of a courthouse in possession of a deadly drug that destroys lives?

Speaker 198 How is it that this man who has a long history of violence doesn't even spend 24 hours in jail? How is it that he is sent right back onto the streets?

Speaker 132 A compelling, compelling, and compassionate documentary that I think everybody should watch.

Speaker 152 You can watch it.

Speaker 124 I watched it on YouTube.

Speaker 82 It's from KOMO-TV in Seattle, and it is called Seattle is Dying.

Speaker 172 It's coming to a city near you.

Speaker 60 If you're in constant pain, you are not alone.

Speaker 64 I know, because I was too.

Speaker 118 My pain and inflammation so bad that

Speaker 124 there were times that my wife had to button my shirts and tie my shoes.

Speaker 58 And it is, it's so

Speaker 22 emasculating

Speaker 129 to have that happen to you.

Speaker 108 It's horrible.

Speaker 74 And

Speaker 72 I just wanted it to stop.

Speaker 17 And when it didn't over five years, it just kept coming and then going and then coming back even worse.

Speaker 124 I just had given up.

Speaker 34 And my wife, luckily, said,

Speaker 20 please just try this.

Speaker 31 And I didn't think it would work.

Speaker 36 But I tried it and it has worked for me.

Speaker 115 And got rid of all of my pain all the time.

Speaker 81 But boy, it has cut it way back. It's called Relief Factor.
I want you to try Relief Factor at relief factor.com. Call 800-500-8384, 800-500-8384.

Speaker 18 It's relief factor.com.

Speaker 49 You know, when you look at

Speaker 156 the world today and where we're headed, there is a very clear, clear choice on a few things.

Speaker 76 We used to be pretty clear on Israel,

Speaker 76 but boy, things are, well, some people would say getting muddy, but they're becoming very black and white, and you got to see where you stand.

Speaker 1 If you stand with the left, you stand with Bernie

Speaker 17 in the town hall that he just did, he said, you know, it's a Benjamin Netanyahu and his party, that's a hate group.

Speaker 136 That's a hate group.

Speaker 31 AOC, anti-Israel.

Speaker 20 Ilan Omar, anti-Israel.

Speaker 122 Rashida Tlaib, anti-Israel.

Speaker 59 This is where the party is headed.

Speaker 1 And they are anti-Semitic, not pro-Palestinian, as much as anti-Semitic as well.

Speaker 59 The party is changing.

Speaker 97 On the other side, you have Donald Trump, who

Speaker 70 has thrown a lot of shade to Benjamin Netanyahu and to Israel itself.

Speaker 151 In fact, Benjamin Netanyahu threw a little bit back his way.

Speaker 31 Listen to this released yesterday.

Speaker 203 I'm here on the beautiful Golan Heights. All Israelis were deeply moved when President Trump made his historic decision to recognize Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights.

Speaker 203 And therefore, after the Passover holiday, I intend to bring to the government a resolution calling for a new community on the Golan Heights named after President Donald J.

Speaker 198 Trump.

Speaker 15 That's amazing. That's amazing.

Speaker 10 I mean, Trump has been amazing on the Israel stuff.

Speaker 10 I mean, better than anyone could have possibly imagined.

Speaker 47 I would have never guessed it.

Speaker 12 Yeah, no,

Speaker 12 and I didn't.

Speaker 40 Wrong on, really wrong on Israel.

Speaker 98 Yeah, I had it nailed, but you really did miss that one.

Speaker 10 And I was disappointed in you the whole time.

Speaker 186 Yeah.

Speaker 88 It's incredible.

Speaker 11 I mean, you know, step by step this entire time, we're coming up on a year anniversary of him naming Jerusalem and opening the embassy in Jerusalem as the actual capital of the country that says it's the capital, which is usually how we judge what the capital is of a country.

Speaker 8 That's coming up in just in a couple of weeks.

Speaker 9 We've got a great special coming up on that.

Speaker 84 It's one of these things where you kind of step back and think, wow, I mean, like all the presidents all these times, both Democrat and Republican, who have said that they would do the things that Donald Trump has gone ahead and actually done.

Speaker 140 And he deserves a lot of unqualified credit for what he's done with Israel. It's been incredible.

Speaker 101 Incredible.

Speaker 95 I'm blown away by it. I'm blown away.

Speaker 146 And grateful.

Speaker 47 Really, truly grateful.

Speaker 44 And so obviously are the people

Speaker 31 of Israel.

Speaker 28 I mean, he has not only moved the

Speaker 28 embassy to Jerusalem, where it has always belonged, but he has also decided,

Speaker 28 you know, I'm going to recognize the West Bank, otherwise known as Judea,

Speaker 159 and the Golan Heights as Jewish territory.

Speaker 36 God bless him.

Speaker 152 God bless him.

Speaker 35 You're listening to Glenn Beck.
