Full On Fundamental Transformation? | Guests: Ben Shapiro & Susan Crockford | 3/19/19

I don't want to add stress to anybody.

And that's our first story.

It's about stress.

So we'll get to that.

Now, let me talk to you about pain.

Not only can I relieve your stress, I can relieve your pain.

Well, I can't.

But I can talk to you about Relief Factor.

It's 100% drug-free.

It's created by doctors.

It has four key ingredients.

Name those four key ingredients.

Oatmeal, raisins, chocolate chips, and lollipops.

Butter.

And what those things do.

Do you put butter in it?

Those are cookies.

Okay.

Those are definitely cookies.

Anyway, we don't know what the ingredients are, but we do know this.

They're all natural and they relieve the inflammation in your body.

And it does relieve pain.

70% of the people who try it go on to order more month after month after month.

Just like I do.

It is Relief Factor.

Go to ReliefFactor.com.

That's ReliefFactor.com.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenbeck program.

What an hour we have.

Hello, America.

This is the Glenbeck Program.

And Ben Shapiro is going to be here talking about his new book, The Right Side of History.

We talk about that, and I don't want to stress anybody out, but I have the list of the top 20 things that stress millennials out and I don't want to add to that stress but I think we should look at this stress because they say now

according to a recent survey three out of five millennials 58%

feel life is more stressful right now

than ever before

And how right they are when you really get down to it and you look at their list of things that they're stressed out by,

my

gosh, how do they get up in the morning and continue to do it we begin there in one minute

this is the Glen Beck program American Financing Corporation NMLS 182334 www.nmlsconsumeraccess org I love those guys American Financing one of the best ways to use your tax refund is a down payment for a new home you're essentially investing your return as as opposed to spending it.

And with some help from American Finance, the salary-based mortgage consultants, you're going to have access to custom loans and assistance programs that can get you into a home for much less.

So stop renting and become a homeowner in 2019.

I will tell you this, rent was up 5% nationally just in the last few months.

It is going to go through the roof.

If you have an opportunity to rent things and not be a renter, that is the ideal situation for the future.

American Financing, they employ salary-based mortgage consultants.

They don't work on commission.

They work for you and they've been family owned and operated as a national mortgage banker and been in business since 1999.

No, no, Sarah, we gotta stop this music right away.

Stop this music.

This is too,

I don't know.

It's just too amped up.

Do we have anything

that reflects the stress and the pain that people are going through?

Thank you.

There's a new study out

and it shows

it shows that three in five millennials say life now is more stressful than ever before.

The survey pointed out numerous causes of the frustration for this young segment.

They feel that their overall stress and the stress level is caused by the accumulation of daily microaggressions.

Yes, microaggressions, micro stressors that are seemingly trivial experiences to some, but

no, when you put them all together, it's

a very, very sad, sad tale.

Like,

well, let me, let me, here, let me give you the, let me give you the list.

And I'm going to start at the least stressful, number 20 on the list, because it's...

I mean, some would say washing the dishes is not really that stressful.

No,

it's not, but

when you couple it with number 19 on the top 20 list of stressors for millennials, I think you can see the damage that it can do.

Washing the dishes and number 19,

choosing what you have to wear.

Oh my gosh.

Yeah.

They have to do that by themselves, too.

They have to do it by themselves.

I mean, first of all, all, think of the dishes and the water going down a drain.

What does that do to the environment?

Don't make me

simple scraps of food going down a drain do to the bottom.

Don't even add that.

I'm just focused on washing the dishes.

Screw the environment.

I'm just

not a very millennial attitude.

Number 20, washing dishes.

We haven't even gotten to the environment yet.

So washing the dishes and picking out the clothes.

Don't add more to their stress.

Right, because you have, you know, that beanie

hat and the

jacket thing, whatever that is, and they put that on.

And there's three or four of them in there.

They need to select which one.

And they also have to worry about job security.

Nobody ever in human history has had to worry about washing the dishes, choosing what to wear, and job security.

That's never happened before.

Never.

Yeah, that's number 18.

These people ate off dirty dishes and went to work naked.

That is how society went to work.

If they even went to work.

Number 17 is school loan payments.

That's a good one, although the approach to it is an interesting

solution for millennials, which is you should just give it to me all for free.

That'll solve that stress.

Right.

You know, another thing, and that's, I mean,

in my day,

we would just say,

don't take out that student loan.

That's probably, yeah.

Yes, it is exactly what we said.

You know, here's what I said when I was 18 years old.

What college are you going to?

Can't afford one?

That's

wrong, Glenn.

No, I know.

That's wrong.

Everyone should go to college so that they can spend 95% of their time not doing work.

That's a guaranteed right to all of us.

I mean, if you don't go to college, take it from me.

Kids, you're going to live under a bridge.

You're never going to amount to anything.

You'll just disappear into the darkness.

Anybody who, if you don't go to college, there's no way in America to make it.

No way.

No, definitely not.

No way.

Number 16 of the list of millennial stressors is check engine light comes on.

Number 15 is credit card bills.

Number 14 is phone screen breaking.

Oh, that's a huge one.

Number 13 is job interviews.

Number 12 is paying the bills.

Number 11, now we're not in the top 10 yet.

Number 11, most stressful thing that millennials have to deal with.

They say, and I want to quote, I want to quote.

58%

say life is more stressful now

than ever before.

So number 11 is losing and misplacing keys.

Number 10,

forgetting the phone charger.

Number 9, credit card fraud.

Number 8, forgetting passwords.

Number 7, most stressful thing in a millennial life,

phone battery dying.

Every one of these things has already, there's already a technological solution for like all of these.

You are not.

Really?

I'm just, I mean, you're just saying adding more stressors,

poor souls.

Have extra batteries.

They're easy.

They have cases that aren't.

Yeah, yeah, whatever, whatever, whatever.

Yeah, but is there a solution for number six, slow Wi-Fi?

Yeah.

Number five, arriving late to work.

Number four, stressor on millennials.

Number four, losing phone.

Yeah,

where's your technology there?

They have a lot of

iPhone.

It's actually built into the software.

Number three,

commute and delays in traffic.

Number two,

stressor is arguing with partner.

And the number one most stressful thing on millennials,

losing wallet or credit card.

Wow, that is.

How do they make it?

How do do they make it?

Seriously, how do they make it with this?

It's very difficult.

Oh, we're not done, Sarah.

Get that music back up.

We're not.

No, no, no.

This is...

No.

It's crushing.

It's crushing.

It's crushing.

Now, let me ask you this.

There's not like, you know, polio in there anywhere.

I'm noticing.

Yeah,

there's no polio there.

You'll notice there is also no global warming.

You would think if we only had 12 years, that would be pretty stressful, right?

So no global warming.

Also, I'd just like to point out no World War I or World War II or Cold War.

Nowhere is the fear of being vaporized on this list, which is interesting,

you know?

Well, but the keys.

I remember the keys, it's hard to find your keys sometimes.

Right.

And that is a great deal.

Right.

But I would say if we're looking at,

if you're the three out of five that say life is more stressful now than ever before, I mean, I would just say amputation without any kind of medication.

That might be.

A life without antibiotics might be

plowing and growing, plowing your own fields and growing your own food and then having a drought or rain might be.

How about so many plagues they started color-coding them?

Right.

The black plague.

Let me make sure you know there's a lot of other ones, but don't get the black one.

Yeah, don't get the black one.

That's really really bad.

You know, slavery.

That was pretty bad.

Slavery was pretty bad.

You know,

being picked up in the middle of the night and just without charges and just thrown into a prison because the government could do it.

I'm very surprised I did not hear an incorrect pronoun

stressor.

Because that one too

really rough.

I mean, just let's can we can weigh these

slavery?

Ooh.

Incorrect pronoun.

Ooh.

I mean, whoa, I am.

Teeter-tottering on the scale back and forth.

I don't know which one is worse.

I don't know which one is worse.

That's

an amazing testament to how good things are.

Maybe that, you know, losing my keys to my automobile.

Is your bigger stress than being scooped up and put into a concentration camp because you're a Jew?

Yeah.

Yeah, sure.

Yeah, that's true.

It might be an indication that your life is is sweet.

Yeah.

What is wrong with you?

And it also shows they obviously do not care about global warming in real life.

It is just

an issue to give an ends, a means to an end.

Well, we'll say global warming.

Inequality.

Inequality.

That's a good thing.

That didn't stress anybody, apparently.

No.

No.

No.

Dead naming didn't really

put anything out there.

How about how about if,

what is it, seven out of ten women are raped on campus?

that didn't make this.

Washing the dishes did.

Great point.

Fear of being raped on campus didn't.

We have a situation that we are told that women are being raped on college campuses at a rate higher than the Rwandan genocide.

Right, right.

I think if you would have asked the 20-somethings in Rwanda

during the genocide, might have been in the top five.

I don't know, genocide.

I mean, below washing dishes, though, right?

Oh, of course.

Okay, of course.

That's good.

You know, my whole family being raped and killed in front of me might have made their top 20,

you know,

but being raped on campus.

No, uh-uh.

Not fair.

It's almost as if that statistic isn't near accurate.

Almost.

Almost, almost.

Because it's so amazing.

Like, college debt is the thing they worry about in college.

Now, if more than half of women are being raped at college campuses, you'd think maybe you wouldn't take the debt on to go.

Right.

Like, why go to the place where you're almost definitely going to get raped?

Right.

What's the point of taking on debt to do that?

Right.

And it's almost as if

we all know.

Right.

In reality, that's not the case.

No, that's not true.

That's not true.

It's almost like we all know that in 12 years, we're not all going to die from global warming.

It's almost as

if it's almost true.

By the way,

I lost my whole family in the Rwandan genocide.

It was horrible.

Yeah, yeah.

Well, I lost my iPhone, okay?

Where is it?

That's how bad my life is.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Your mom and everybody raped in front of you, whatever.

I lost my iPhone, and the dishes are starting to stack up.

Here's our sponsor this half hour at Zip Recruiter.

You want to find, you want to,

how do you do

How do you do a serious, hey, we'll help you find people that will do a great job for you

when you look at the stressors on millennials

and it shows you how Twy-like they are.

I hope ZipRecruiter has options where you can say, like, there'll be a nice basket for keys.

When people come, the dishes will be washed.

Right.

Nobody is going to

tell you that you didn't do that right.

Right.

You know, we promise.

Everybody wins.

Everybody has a corner office.

Everybody has a corner office.

It's great.

But the good thing about ZipRecruiter is you can actually get people who maybe have an old-time view of how hard they should be working.

Maybe the new understanding

of stressors.

Those people are available.

They're available.

You can find them with ZipRecruiter.

Good employees.

Yeah, it has powerful matching technology, and it goes out and invites those people that fit your job.

And, you know, it says that this algorithm really learns what you're looking for.

And all I'm looking for is someone who'll show up, someone who'll do the job.

That's really what I'm looking for.

Somebody who will actually go, yeah, yeah,

I'm going to hit this one out of the park.

Tony Robbins had a great conversation about this.

He said,

he said, if he said, most people do, not most people, he said, a lot of people do a crappy job.

And when you do a crappy job, you get

crappy rewards.

He said, now people will do a good job.

And what do you expect?

If you do a crappy job and you get crappy results, you do a good job, you get...

Should be good results.

He said, usually now it's crappy results.

He said, you have to do an excellent job, an outstanding job to get good results.

And you have to go even beyond that to get great results.

And I think that's true.

I think that's true.

You can't just do a good job.

You know,

how is he as an employee?

Well, he's good.

That's going to get you a substandard result.

Oh, you know, I don't know.

He's good.

No, you have to be that employee that is great.

How are they?

They're great.

I'm with you

earlier.

I don't know what world Tony Robbins is.

I'm like happy when people show up.

Whether they do the work or not.

Oh, no.

I'm like happy they're actually there.

Wow.

No, I know, I agree with you.

They just pulled up.

It's only three hours late.

I know.

That's a big stressor for me.

When I want to go in and give them a ribbon, you go to McDonald's and you open up the bag and it's like, it's right.

Yeah.

It's right.

You want to go in and have a cellar.

You want like confetti to be, you know, blown into the store.

Hey, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing.

We got one right.

All right.

Anyway, ZipRecruiter can help you find those people that

This is the Glenbeck program.

So you've heard this claim.

It was not in the millennial stressors we just covered, but you've heard this claim from every presidential candidate running for the Democrats.

And so far, it's 64% of the U.S.

population is running as a Democratic candidate.

That's a new stat that just came out.

Strangely, all of them socialists.

Yeah, which is a little disturbing.

Bob Frank O'Rourke, you're familiar with this guy?

Yeah.

He is

an Irish guy from Texas who kind of wants you to think he's Hispanic.

Ah, you mean Beto?

Yes.

So Betto said the other day, and you've heard this from Alexandria Casio-Cortez as well, this is our final chance.

The scientists are absolutely unanimous on this.

We have no more than 12 years to take incredibly bold action on this climate crisis.

He said that in Iowa.

So the AP decided to actually fact-check this because this has been an interesting refrain.

I mean, Casio-Cortez has been saying it like crazy.

It's become a democratic talking point 12 years.

Why 12 years?

Like, they always say it's about a decade in the future is our last chance.

And you're supposed to forget that a decade ago, they told us a decade in the future is our last chance.

So this one is 12 years.

Why is it 12 years?

Well, it's supposedly based on the UN

IPCC, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

and they use 2030 as a benchmark for the Paris Agreement.

Okay, remember this Paris Agreement that the U.S.

pulled out of.

Now, first of all, now it's 11 years, right?

We're already in 2019.

But

what is the truth behind this?

They actually decided to ask the facts, according to the AP, quote, there is no scientific consensus, much less unanimity.

I can never say that word.

Unanimity.

Unanimity.

Unanimity.

Whatever that, yeah, unanimity.

Yes, that's it.

That the planet only has 12 years to fix the problem.

Glad to clear this up, end quote, says James Skay, co-chairman of the report and professor of sustainable energy at Imperial College London.

He told the Associated Press, the panel, quote, did not say we have 12 years left to save the world, end quote.

I mean, completely wrong.

These guys are out there telling us that there's scientific consensus and almost 100% of scientists are saying it.

Not near unanimity, but 100% of scientists are saying it.

And yet the people who actually did the report that are very alarmist on the climate, by the way.

They're not saying

this is the climate report people who have been like, the sky is falling.

The sky is falling.

These are the people that scare Al Gore

when they're talking about the climate.

And they say, no, the 12 years thing, we don't know where that came from.

We're glad to clear it up.

No,

period.

I mean,

we did not say we have 12 years to save the world, end quote.

It can't be any clearer than this.

And they still are trotting it out all over the place.

It'll be interesting if this finally puts this to rest.

I doubt it.

No.

Because it's got nothing to do with the climate.

It's got nothing to do with that.

That's why you're stressed out about your keys.

Then you're stressed out about the vehicle you say is killing the climate.

You want to drive it more.

You tell us.

You should be happy that you lost your keys.

Yes.

You're not killing the Earth.

Finally.

Right.

I mean, all of the things.

I mean, think of almost every one of the stressors has to do with

some negative effect to the climate, right?

All the technology that's using electricity, the cars that can't find the keys.

Even the batteries.

Even the batteries.

The batteries.

Yeah, they're terrible for the environment.

If these were real worries, wouldn't that be dominating the list of stressors?

Do you remember?

You're too young to remember.

I remember what it was like when we thought we were going to be vaporized okay when we thought it was easy for someone in russia to launch missiles and we would respond that i remember that fear everybody talked about it you're listening to glenn beck

This is the Glenn Beck program.

There is a new book out, The Right Side of History: How Reason and Moral Purpose Made the West Great by Ben Shapiro.

Ben joins us now.

Hi, Ben.

You can't hear Ben.

Where are you?

Oh, there you are.

Hi, Ben.

How are you?

I'm doing well.

How are you?

I'm good.

So The Right Side of History.

This really, this book kind of came out of a few conversations that you had with some of the members of the intellectual dark web, did it not?

To a certain extent.

I mean, it came at the very beginning out of the 2016 election and just the generalized feeling that everybody sort of hated each other.

And you looked around and you went, wait a second, everybody is living in the most splendid sort of prosperity in the history of mankind.

People are living to record ages.

People are living in the freest society where they're allowed to do pretty much anything they want, so long as they don't punch somebody else in the face.

And yet we are all really pissed at each other.

And so I started to wonder, wonder, why is it that everybody seems so unhappy?

Why are suicide rates going up?

Why are we having this opioid epidemic?

Why is everybody so unhappy in what should be the happiest time?

Yeah, I just read a

headline today.

I think it was maybe the Wall Street Journal

about

the greatest job market in a century.

That's what they're calling this.

The greatest job market in a century.

And you wouldn't know that.

You'd think we were in the Great Depression.

Yeah, that's exactly right.

And not just that.

You would think that we are in the worst racial time in our history,

that white supremacy on the one side and

anger on the other side, and that everybody just hates each other.

And you would believe that we are divided by class in a way that we've never been divided before, that it's the 1% against the 99%.

And none of this happens to be true.

We happen to live in the most racially equal time in the history of mankind.

If you could be born into any time, this would be the time that you would choose.

And so the question becomes, why are we so angry?

And I think that the real reason is because anger fills something that we are missing, and that is a true sense of what happiness is and what politically we need in order to be happy.

We've sort of redefined happiness to mean feeling joy at a particular time or whatever our subjective emotions tell us at a particular time.

Self-esteem has been mixed up with happiness.

But if you look back to the ancients, if you look back to the Judeo-Christian system, happiness has nothing to do with any of those things.

Happiness has to do with pursuing moral purpose using reason.

That was always the basis of Western civilization.

And so I started thinking about maybe the reason that we're so angry at each other is because we've lost what we used to share.

We've lost what we had in common, which was this common adherence to a set of values that we used to call Western civilized values.

Yeah, we don't, you know, Nietzsche is often misunderstood when he's talking about, you know, God is dead.

Everybody's like, oh, he was declaring God is dead, and that's a great thing.

No, he's actually saying it's a warning.

We've just killed God.

Congratulations.

We've just killed God.

Science is reigning.

However,

God is

he'll be found someplace else.

What are we going to replace him with?

And, you know, it wasn't too many years later that they found National Socialism and Adolf Hitler replacing God.

And that's kind of the same thing now:

we're destroying God and everything.

We always had Moses and Jesus as

our archetypes.

Well, they're destroyed.

So who's our archetype now?

That's exactly right.

I mean, Judeo-Christian values didn't just lay the foundation for our moral system.

They also laid the foundation for science.

They laid the foundation for the idea that reason matters.

Because if you're a scientific materialist, if you're somebody who believes that all of humanity, we're basically just wandering balls of meat, firing neurons, wandering through space, then not only is there no morality, but there's also no such thing as reason.

Why should we argue with each other?

We are just, again, wandering balls of meat wandering through space.

Why not use force on one another?

What exactly do we share at that point?

Why not side up with tribes and go to battle with other tribes?

And that's what we're beginning to see is there's this godshaped hole in our heart.

We're filling it with anger.

We feel a sense of meaning and a sense of belonging by getting angry at other groups, whether it's other groups politically or whether it's other groups racially.

And it's really ugly and it's really a problem.

This is This is a fundamental betrayal of what it was that the West built in the first place.

The West was built on certain principles.

It's kind of fascinating, Glenn, when you look at this manifesto from the shooter in New Zealand, and nobody should read it because we don't want to give it any sort of play.

The one thing that is clear is he keeps using the term the West, and he keeps using it to mean white supremacy.

And on the left, what you see is people who define the West in much the same way.

They'll say Western civilization has to go, and we shouldn't be teaching about it, because all it really is, is a system of dominance by people who are more powerful.

It's a system of white hierarchy.

That's not what the West is about at all.

What made the West unique is the fact that it was about the notion of individual rights, the notion that we are all made in God's image on the one hand on the religious sense, and the notion that we have to use reason to pursue the best outcomes on the other hand, which is a Greek notion.

And the combination of those two notions built America, which I think is the greatest

exposition of Western philosophy in the history of mankind.

And we're losing that.

We're losing that because we've decided that

God should not and does not exist.

And so there is no actual rationale for believing there's a higher morality.

We can sort of craft morality however we want.

And on the other hand, we believe that reason is no longer useful because you can't understand me.

After all, you don't come from the same background that I do.

And if you don't come from the same background that I do, then how can we have a common conversation?

So, what is the role of the university?

You addressed this.

What is the role of the university now, and

how do we get it back to

diverse thinking and

reason and logic.

Well, I mean I think that the only way to do that is is for the American people to actually demand it.

As always, the responsibility lies with us.

It's certainly no question that universities used to be the place where people studied Greek and Latin and actually learned the the ancients in the original language and and understood what were the foundational principles of the civilization.

And they've become almost the reverse of that.

They've been taken over by the critical studies genre, which is devoted specifically to the idea that the West is basically just a hierarchy of power that has to be torn out at its roots.

This is something that was done by the Frankfurt School.

It was done by post-structuralist Marxists in the university system.

And Spentine is

a pseudo-sophisticated argument against Western civilization.

The truth is, of course, that the universities still rest, as all of us do in the West,

we're still working off the fumes of a gas tank that we emptied ourselves.

So if you think of Western civilization as having these values, and that's the gas and the engine, and then we decide which way we want to steer the car, right now the car is empty because we haven't actually refilled that gas.

We're just living off the fumes, but we're pretending that we're moving as of our own momentum.

So,

how much longer do we have on those fumes?

I mean, I see, I mean, Ben,

you know, you and I were talking a year ago about how bad things are.

They are

so

rapidly changing.

We are running towards socialism.

We are running towards infanticide.

We're running towards our own destruction now.

How much longer

does this car run?

Yeah, I'm not sure that it runs too much longer absent a real re-examination of why exactly America is fantastic.

And that starts with the premise that America is fantastic and that the West is fantastic.

And that itself is a controversial proposition.

But if you really don't believe the West is fantastic, you should visit another civilization.

You should spend some time there because the West is a pretty incredible place.

And

as you say, I feel like

we are running out.

I feel like those of us who are conservative,

we need to become

better representatives of our philosophy.

And it can't just be about we want lower taxes and we want less government intervention.

We have to say, what is it in human nature that demands these things?

What is it in the system that means that human beings are happier under this?

Because the argument that's being made for socialism right now is not, in fact, an argument for prosperity.

It's not that we're all going to be better off and we're all going to be more prosperous.

Nobody believes that.

You read the Green New Deal and you can see that the folks on the left don't believe that.

What they are actually saying is that there's a sense of meaning to be found in some sort of shared quest.

It's why they're constantly referring to sort of these wartime ethics that we're in a war and because we're in a war, therefore we should all mobilize in warlike fashion.

Well, you can mobilize people that way, but you're mobilizing them towards something that's not going to bring them happiness.

The truth is that happiness can only be brought by a social fabric fabric resting on a common frame of morality and by the belief that individuals can make a difference in the world, that we have free will and reason to pursue, and that we are bound to our neighbors not by force of government, but by voluntary belief that these people are our brothers and sisters.

So de Tocqueville said, I looked for the success of America and I couldn't find it anywhere until I went into its churches.

And there I saw it burning on the pulpits.

It was the pulpit.

It was the priests and the pastors and the rabbis and everybody else that were speaking these truths that you're not seeing anymore.

You know,

we were losing the Civil War until about the middle of it when Abraham Lincoln said, you know what, we got to make this about the end of slavery, and we need a day of fast and prayer and humiliation.

We needed a day of atonement.

We didn't lose.

I think we only lost one more battle after that day.

We lost everything before it and only one battle after.

You say today, we have to, I mean, when you can't get the Senate to say we won't kill babies after they're born, when you can't get the Senate,

we have so withdrawn from God, there's just, there's no protection left.

You talk to people and say, hey, we should probably, we should probably turn around and say, hey, forgive us for everything that we've done.

And

can you help heal us?

Nobody's thinking that way.

You can't say that in regular open society.

No, well, I mean, we've become a very secular society.

And here's the thing.

The argument of the book isn't that you have to be a religious person to be a good person.

I know you don't believe that either, Glenn.

But what you do have to do is you have to make certain assumptions about human nature that I think are religious in nature.

And if you don't make those assumptions, and if you try to rip away

the undergirding for those assumptions in the religious belief system, you're really hurting everybody else.

And you see this for a lot of folks who live on the coast who still have sort of an air stats social fabric created by country clubs or by college or by social groups.

And they live very conservative lifestyles, and this is a point that Charles Murray has made.

And at the same time, they're ripping on churches.

They're suggesting that Judeo-Christian values are bad.

Well, what do they think is holding up the value system that maintains the country in the rest of the country outside of LA and New York?

It really is.

It's not a tendency to Yale, guys.

Yeah, it's the argument that Ben Franklin made to Thomas Paine, where he's like, you know, you grew up in the system created by these people.

You have a liberty because of that, and you're enjoying those fruits that are allowing you to tear it apart, but

it's a suicidal task that you're on.

It's the difference between the French Revolution and the American Revolution.

Paine, of course, is a huge fan of the French Revolution, and Edmund Burke, of course, is not.

And Paine's basic argument was that we need to get rid of religion.

Religion is what has stood in the way of human progress.

And the Burkean argument is, wait a second, it's religion that has stood behind human progress.

That doesn't mean that Judeo-Christianity has always been free and wonderful or that it's always been interpreted properly in accordance with freedom.

But this value system, the Enlightenment, these values that I hold the same that Sam Harris of militant atheists holds, those values didn't come out of nowhere.

They didn't spring into being in 1760 for no reason at all in one place, in one time, in one segment of history.

They sprang into being because there are foundations to that.

That was the third story.

That was the third story of the philosophy.

The foundations were laid at Athens and they were laid at Sinai.

And ignoring all of that and deriding all of that in favor of what, tribalism and subjectivism,

it's tearing the country apart.

So we need to get back to our roots because the truth is we still do have more in common than we have apart.

As Lincoln said, we still are brothers rather than enemies.

But the moment that we lose what made us brothers, then we are enemies.

Ben Shapiro from thedailywire.com, he's got a new book out.

It's called The Right Side of History: How Reason and Moral Purpose Made the West Great.

Welcome to the program.

So glad that you are here.

We're going to talk a little bit about Venezuela and the Cuban doctors who are now in Venezuela going, wow,

this kind of sucks.

When you can't get the Cuban doctors on board, you got a serious issue.

We're going to talk about that.

Also,

the movie Breakthrough,

if you haven't seen the trailer of this, it looks fantastic.

Have you seen the trailer?

Yeah, I was, I can't remember what movie I was seeing, but they showed the trailer of it, and it looks like one of those movies that has a good message and it's uplifting and

religious-y, but it doesn't feel like one of those awful Christian-y movies.

Yeah.

So, um, this movie is about a kid that goes out, and um, he's he goes and plays on the ice, and he falls through the ice, and I don't remember how long he's under the ice.

It's way longer than you should be alive.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, like 20 minutes, yeah, something crazy, yeah, something crazy, um, and they don't think he's going to survive, and through a series of miracles, he does.

He, the guy, guy, not the actor, the actual kid that fell through the ice is going to be with us today.

Oh, once he walks in here, it's a total spoiler alert.

Right.

You know, he made it.

Right.

Unbelievable.

Well, we'll tell him.

We'll tell him not to say if he lived or died

until the end of the interview.

Keep the keep the drama going.

Did you live?

Yeah.

But yeah, I mean, it has like big, you know, big name actresses and actors in it.

It looks really good.

Yeah, it looks really good.

You know, sometimes we've said this before.

before, sometimes these movies can

be terrible.

This one's like a big budget release, it seems like it doesn't, it seems like something completely different.

So I'm kind of, I'm really interested to see the movie.

Yeah, so the movie is a breakthrough, and we have the actual kid and the pastor that is also depicted in this.

Really cool.

They're both going to be with us in about a half an hour from now.

So don't go anywhere.

Great show.

Still to come.

Let's talk a little bit about realestate agentsitrust.com.

Well, you got a friend whose cousin is a friend of a guy who just started his own real estate company.

You just open up the phone book.

You look at a bus stop and it says, this person, you're in a movie theater.

Judy is the best real estate agent around.

No, here's an idea.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenbeck program.

You know, I have often thought that the Constitution was hanging by a thread,

never more than I do right now, because

the Democrats have

the scissors out, and

they are just chopping the Constitution apart.

Earlier this week, we heard that

Colorado has passed the, what was it, the 12th or the 17th state

that has passed the resolution that says

we're not going with the

Electoral College.

You know,

that's the reason why we had Abraham Lincoln.

But don't worry about that.

Those are old tiny things.

We don't need that anymore.

Now Corey Booker is talking about changing the Constitution even more.

And so is so is Elizabeth Warren.

The things that are coming out of the mouths of the Democrats are truly terrifying if you respect the Constitution and rule of law.

We are on the verge of profound change and we begin there in one minute.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

So

let me ask you this, Stu.

Would it be better if we just kind of laid back like this and just kind of

didn't do, didn't didn't have to read all this every day and just this, we just kind of lay back.

relax in the X chair, don't worry about it anymore.

All your troubles drift away.

Yeah.

This is this, take me away, Cal Gon.

This is much better.

It's an X chair.

X chair has SPEQC.

That's style for any

office aesthetic, a price that won't break the bank, ergonomics and technical innovations that are disrupting the energy or the industry, quality materials and construction with a 15-year warranty and the comfort that you have been searching for with a price that's not going to break the bank.

I want you to find out all you can about the X-Chair.

I want you to do your own homework.

Sarah, if we can get the television control room to play some of the video that was just played and the audio in the four-minute buzz, and let's start with Elizabeth Warren and what she was talking about on health care.

The center is about making sure that every single person in this country gets the coverage they need and that it's at a price that they can afford.

We start with our values, we'll get to the right place.

So theoretically, though,

there could be a role for private insurance companies under President Bernard.

Well, there could be a temporary role.

Even Bernie's plan has a runway before it gets there.

Because look, it's a big and complex system.

And we've got to make sure that we land this in a way that doesn't do any harm.

Everybody has got to stay covered.

So Foca Hannis is asking for a temporary role.

for the free market.

Now, remember, this is exactly what we told you they would do.

Yeah, and this is really far.

I mean, this is not just Medicare for all.

This is eliminating private insurance.

This is something that the Canadian Supreme Court overturned because they didn't have access to private insurance.

And they famously said access to a waiting list is not access to health care.

But that was one of the things people wanted, like, well, let me get my own health care then.

I can't get on the, I'm getting a waiting list forever.

Let me at least buy my own health care.

And it was illegal in Canada.

The Canadian Supreme Court said, no, you can't do that.

That's what Elizabeth Warren is arguing for.

This was overruled as nuts in Canada in the mid-2000s.

And now, Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris have said the same thing, and Bernie Sanders is saying the same thing.

This is a step beyond what we thought of Medicare for all, which was an option for people to get into Medicare.

Now, you're forced into it because there's no private options after a runway.

So, I want to just remind people, and you need to say this to your, you need to say this to your friends and neighbors who are Democrats.

Say,

look,

let's just step back here for a second from all the rhetoric.

We told you that Obamacare would not work.

You got Obamacare.

You had it.

And the Democrats, forget about Donald Trump, the Democrats were saying that we needed to go to a single-payer system,

Medicaid or Medicare for all,

while Barack Obama was still in office,

we told you that it wouldn't work.

And we went a step further.

We told you that the people that were proposing this were socialists and wanted a single payer, universal health care system without the private insurance and that they wanted to take over the hospitals just like in England.

That's what we're talking about.

Now you can listen to the people who lied to you, who said that they were never for a single-payer health care system, that Obamacare would absolutely work, and that you were going to get money back.

You were going to get up to $2,000 back.

You were going to save that much money.

Have you saved money?

The answer is no.

So why would you continue to listen to the people who gave you this

instead of listening to the people who said, here's what's going to happen.

And that's exactly what happened.

Yeah.

And in what world is it rational to give the same people who argued for the program they all admit now is failing.

Why would you give them more control now?

This is what?

Eight years later, their program that they said was going to solve your healthcare ills.

Eight years later, they're all standing in front of you telling you it's such a disaster we now have to go to socialized medicine you're gonna trust them they're the people that got you into this they are the people who design the system currently in effect that you're complaining about and you want to give them in less than a decade of rolling out their last big solution you want to give them control for the next big solution that's just insanity when they lied to you it's not just that they were wrong yep they lied to you they said they were not for these things They said that they were not socialists.

And now you can't get any of them to say that they're a capitalist.

They will all say that they're socialists, but they won't say that they're a capitalist or that the free market has a system other than in transition.

That's a problem.

They also took an oath to the Constitution of the United States.

Now, let me play Corey Booker on what he's talking about doing with the Supreme Court.

I think we need to fix the Supreme Court.

I think they stole the Supreme Court seat.

Can we keep it at nine?

Should we keep it at nine?

I think I would like to start exploring a lot of options, and we should have a national conversation.

Term limits for Supreme Court justices might be one thing.

They give every president the ability to choose three with people holding on to those seats in ways that I don't think is necessarily healthy.

So I want to fix that.

Age limit?

Look, I think we term limits might be a better way of saying that.

God, Chris Matthews is terrible.

Age limit.

How about using a sentence?

No, no, no.

Hey, Clarek!

Yeah.

You know, what's amazing is...

Bananas!

Oreo cookers!

How is this guy on television still?

He's been on television since before there was television.

I don't know.

So you have Corey Booker, and Corey Booker is saying, well, I think we should explore all options.

They're now talking about packing the court.

Should there only be nine?

What's the option here?

Packing the court?

Because the

Congress decided

about 150 years ago, it should be nine.

It should be nine.

The last time they tried to pack the court, which just means, oh, we're going to have 12, or we're going to put enough in there so we have our side has control.

It's packing the court.

The last time they tried that was with FDR,

and it failed.

Now they're coming back to it again.

We're repeating all of the policies and all of the ideas that happened during the Great Depression.

The thing that made Congress, I want you to think about this.

We all look at, or we're taught that FDR was one of the greatest presidents ever, right?

Well, he's also the president that put the Japanese, an entire race of people, in internment camps.

He also almost single-handedly destroyed the capitalist system.

If it wasn't for World War II, he would have destroyed us.

To the point to where we got out of the war and the slogan for the Republicans was,

have you had enough yet?

Because in 1946,

they were still,

still in the same position that they were in in 1933.

And by the way, the

overwhelming answer to the question: have you had enough yet?

was yes.

That's why they amended the Constitution so that couldn't happen again.

Exactly right.

So we all remember him because we're taught that he was so great.

How could the country pass so quickly a resolution that says that can never happen with a presidency ever again?

They were so afraid of totalitarianism that they knew if we don't fix this now, we will go to a totalitarian state.

So, now what are they doing?

They're talking about packing the Supreme Court, which would make it a totalitarian state.

They love the power of the executive branch.

I didn't like it with Obama.

I don't like it with Donald Trump.

They love the power of the executive branch.

They're now talking about taking away the Electoral College.

The Electoral College makes it a totalitarian country.

It was there for a reason.

Wait, the Electoral College.

Getting rid of it leads to a totalitarian society where the big cities and the biggest states control how everyone else lives.

I'm sorry, this is a very big country.

New York should not tell Texas how to live.

Texas should not be able to tell, you know, Wyoming or

Rhode Island how to live.

And I think, honestly, the issue with the national popular vote is a little different than that in some ways, in that it's really just going to be cities telling rural areas where I don't even think it's going to be Austin, Texas telling, you know, some rural area of Texas what to do.

Because why would you ever campaign in any place other than a city?

If you're going for the maximum amount of votes, all they'll do is go to the cities all the time and pass.

And the states.

Well, yeah, I think states too, wherever the largest group of people are.

You're not going to Iowa.

No, no.

You're not going to Iowa.

No, you'll put it in the city.

You're going to go to Ohio.

You'll go to Texas.

To California,

New York, and Florida.

And to the cities you'll go to.

You'll pass.

Everybody will be trying to pass policies that do things for cities

because they will be trying to please large groups of population rather than going to the entire state in all of their interests.

There's no reason to go to the entire state.

They're not even states.

We wouldn't even have states.

We won't even if

we're

five or eight seats away here in the House, here in Texas, in our legislature.

We're under 10 seats away from losing control to the Democrats.

People don't have any idea how much money has been spent here in Texas.

They're trying to flip Texas blue.

Oh, and how and how bad 2018 really was.

I mean it was it was worse than advertised when especially when you go to the lower levels.

I mean the Senate was the only thing that was positive and that was almost exclusively structural.

I mean the Republicans had a real structural advantage going into 2018 so they were able to pick up a seat or two.

But the House was a disaster.

And below that it was really, really bad as well.

State houses.

I mean you lose Texas and we've lost the country with the Electoral College.

You lose Texas and it's over.

Republicans will never win a national never again.

You say never.

These things do change.

I mean, Ronald Reagan won California, right?

I mean, these things do change over time.

But I mean, it's going to be really freaking hard.

I don't know what your path is if you start losing Texas.

So now we have this.

I want to show you another guy, Andrew Yang, and

what he is

his policies are.

He's running for president, and he's getting a lot of millennial voters.

They're calling him the Ross Perot

of this election.

Wait until you hear some of his policies.

First, let me tell you about blinds.com.

Blinds.com.

Blinds are energy efficient.

They create an extra layer of

insulation, which reduces unwanted heat in the summer.

It helps reduce the energy costs.

I know if you're in Texas, the blinds are a huge deal.

I mean, you save so much money if you live in a hot climate where the sun is beating down on your house and you can just,

you know, save the money on the air conditioning.

You make your house much more energy efficient, and it also looks a lot nicer.

Yeah, and in Seattle, you can, you know,

you need blinds to not see the rain and the guy taking a crap in the front yard.

You get to forget where you are.

Yeah, you get to close the blinds and forget where you are.

Right.

So there's many reasons to get blind shade shutters or drapes.

We pause for 10 seconds, station ID.

So

Andrew Yang,

the Ross Perot for millennials, if you look at what he's talking about,

he is all about tort reform.

He's about regulation of artificial intelligence.

He supports universal health care, reform of the the student loan industry, implementation of a postal banking system.

Big universal basic income guy, too.

Yeah.

I want to know what the postal banking system is.

That sounds like a nightmare.

He also wants the rich to pay their fair share, and he says the only way to do that is to impose a VAT tax, which is a nightmare.

He also

thinks that we need to have a news and information on ombudsman.

Don't laugh at this.

I'm already laughing at this.

This is a news czar.

Just because everybody hates it when Donald Trump says maybe we should check and the government should fine people.

And loosen the libel laws.

Right.

This guy wants a news czar.

So

the left problem with Trump's proposal is it didn't go far enough to control the news.

Listen to this.

So this is a news and information ombudsman.

An imperial fact-checker.

You know, it's good whenever you have imperial in it.

An imperial fact-checker who would award media liars heavy fines instead of just Pinocchios.

Russia just passed a

law just like this.

Yeah, they did.

It was really good.

Basically, what they did is

if the state said that you said something incorrect about them, then you get arrested or fined.

And, you know, if you went a little further, they said also if you insult the state.

But if you insult the state or say something factually inaccurate, well, then you get fined.

And that's a great proposal.

Well, it went a little farther than that.

It wasn't just the state.

You had to insult

Vlad

the Impaler.

And as long as

you'd be arrested for that.

Yeah.

For saying he was Vlad the Impaler.

Yeah, right.

I would be.

I would be.

So if you say anything about Putin.

that he finds unflattering, you're also arrested.

Yeah.

But you think that's going to be any different with this proposal?

When you know, the when Andrew Yang is president and someone says, you know, you know what, you know what rhymes with Yang, and they make a joke?

What's going to happen?

Slang?

Yes, slang.

Yeah.

All right.

That's exactly what's one thing that rhymes with Yang.

I didn't want to say it because I thought I might get arrested.

But yes,

keep going.

Keep going.

Keep going down the alphabet until you get to one you think is funny.

Point being

here that, you know, when Andrew Yang is president,

he's going to say, hey, I don't like what you said.

It's factually inaccurate.

Your insult about me.

Therefore, you are arrested or fined.

And if it's not Yang, it's the next guy.

Fang?

Gang?

That's a lot of rhymes, huh?

Gang?

There's a lot.

Think of how many jokes you could make with the amount of words that rhyme with Yang.

I know.

There's so many.

It would be great.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I can't think of the bad one.

But anyway, he's also got the American Mall Act because we've got to do something with these

malls.

And so

he's got, well, he wants a Department of Infrastructure.

And it would be the Legion of Builders and Destroyers, I'm quoting,

with a commander instead of a secretary.

A commander.

A commander.

What?

I mean, usually people don't, like, dictator wasn't a bad word when people called each other dictators.

Back in the day, that was a good term.

It became an insult after people started becoming dictators and then killing all their citizens.

It became a little bit of an insult.

But back in the day, it was a positive thing.

Usually, you don't intentionally name things that are

name yourself things that are scary.

What?

A commander of the Legion of Builders and Destroyers?

Sounds pretty good.

That sounds great.

Sounds strong.

By the way, he does not.

He is not for universal basic income.

Okay?

Stop with the lies.

I believe he is.

No, he's not.

He is for the freedom dividend.

Oh,

the freedom dividend.

Yes, the freedom dividend.

These same people that mocked freedom fries as a patriotic gesture in a cafeteria back in the 2000s now want a freedom dividend.

Yeah, freedom dividend.

Everybody gets $1,000 every month.

That's your freedom dividend.

We don't have any money.

We're like $22 trillion a day.

We're the richest country in the world.

We don't have the money to not do this.

You're listening to Glenn.

Doesn't make any sense.

When are you expecting this to make sense?

All right.

If you were going through a mall, you notice a stranger following you into the stores, you know, they're noticing what you browse, what you buy.

Eventually, you would say, Hey, dude, what is the deal with you?

And if they said, Oh, no, well, you know, I'm just watching because it's going to make your shopping experience easier.

You would never go to that creepy place ever again.

Well, that's what's happening right now online.

Monday at 8 on history.

If you've been out in the movie theaters lately, you might have seen

a trailer for a movie that looks really good.

I was at, I don't know, Make Your Dragon Mate or whatever it is,

and I saw a trailer for Breakthrough, and it looks really, really good.

And about a quarter or halfway through the trailer, you realize, wait a minute, they're going to talk about God in this.

And you're like, it can't be because this movie looks really good.

It's a $30 million movie.

And it's about a story that happened about five years ago.

Four years ago.

Four years ago.

And it may not be a story that you heard, and we'll tell you why here in a minute, because it is an amazing story of John Smith.

He was 14 years old when he was walking over an ice-covered lake,

and

he was with two friends.

He broke through the ice.

He was,

they all fell through, but he went for 15 minutes before paramedics could even come.

He was under the water.

He didn't have a heartbeat for 45 minutes.

And you know, all of the stories on, you know, what happens when you're deprived of oxygen and everything else.

John Smith is here in the studio.

How are you, John?

I'm good.

How are you?

That's incredible that you can, I mean, without a pulse for 45 minutes.

Yes, yes.

How?

Only God.

Only God.

So

we also have his pastor, Jason Noble in, and you are portrayed in the movie as well.

Now, let me ask you this.

Yeah.

In the movie, and only because I've seen another movie like this, and I thought, and they made the pastor look like the guy who was doubting.

Are you a doubting Thomas in the movie?

No way.

No way.

No way.

Not at all.

I mean, after the first night, after John was in the hospital, I walked out to Joyce.

We had some incredible miracles happen in the room, and I walked out to Joyce because not only was he without a pulse for an hour, it was over an hour without a pulse.

When Joyce walked in the room and prayed, Holy Spirit, bring my son back to life.

He came back to life, but the doctor said he was still brain dead.

Every organ and catastrophic failure, 1% chance he would make it if he made it overnight.

They were planning organ transplants.

I mean, so it wasn't just, hey, I mean, we took a group of pastors and we started to pray like crazy.

And so

I walked out that evening after just a series of miracles.

And we talk about it in the book, Breakthrough.

walked out and said, Joyce, he's walking out of the hospital.

And one of the most iconic pictures in the story is after all of the prayer and miracles, he walks out of the hospital 16 days, days later, 16 days later, completely healed.

Him and I are walking out of the hospital together.

Were there any side effects from this?

No, none.

None.

I was back playing basketball about two, three months later.

Yeah, he was totally cleared 40 days after.

Incredible.

Do you remember being on the ice?

Do you remember this actually happening?

Yes, you know, I remember, you know, like what the ice kind of breaking.

I remember that.

And, you know, the screams, you know, fighting, you call 911.

I don't want to die.

I call 911.

And then, you know, the water, you know, like the water line, you know, seeing above and below how dirty and brown and green and murky that water was.

You know, it was like getting in a fight with a tiger, you know, the ice just piercing your skin.

I still have scars to this day.

So I do remember a very, very good chunk of it.

We also prayed that he wouldn't remember because it was so traumatic.

And so that's one thing he talks about when he was, because people always ask us, did you go to heaven?

And, you know, whatever.

And we had prayed that he wouldn't remember it because it was so traumatic.

Like, I have the 911 calls on my laptop.

And I mean, I can barely listen to them.

I mean, they're just so intense.

And we felt like what God said is it's not about one person experiencing me, it's about every person that comes in contact with this story experiencing me.

And so that's why we feel like God did it that way.

So, you were, were you, how long were you underwater?

I was underwater for 15 minutes and without an a pulse for additional 45.

So, a little over an hour without a pulse.

And so, you're there, and in the movie, at least, the fireman that is responding,

he goes underneath the water and he can't find you.

And then he

says later in the movie that

he heard a voice say go back down one more time.

Is that true?

Yes.

Tell me about him.

Tell me about what happened.

So his name is Tommy Schein.

He's part of the Winsville Fire Department back home in St.

Louis, Missouri.

And

he got the call and they said when he got the call, he sprinted as soon as the truck stopped.

The truck hadn't even stopped and he was running to the scene.

And he gets out in the water and he has a pipe pole, which pike pole is a long pole with a big hook at the end.

Used to tear a drywall down in a fire.

And by now, I'd been underwater for like three minutes.

So it's crucial now.

He's timing it.

I mean, it's do or die.

They actually called the dive team in if he couldn't have found me because I was laying on a cliff.

I was on a rocky bottom that was 10 feet deep.

If I would have went a little bit, maybe an inch over, I would have fallen into where it was 20, you know, to 25 feet deep with a muddy bottom.

So I'm right on the edge of, you know, this cliff.

And so he gets in the water and he's looking for me and he has this pipe pole and it's do or die.

And he hears a voice, you know, and real,

in the movie, it says go back, but what he's told us is go two feet to the left.

And he does.

You know, he's checking.

He just sticks it down.

He's like, I got to do something.

So he sticks it down.

He's like, it could be a tire.

It could be my boot.

But he realizes it can't be his boot because it's too deep.

So he pulls something up.

He knows it's heavy, but he doesn't know what it is.

And it's me.

He found me.

Right at the last minute.

I mean, literally

one minute from there, they would have sent in divers.

I mean, it was literally within just a moment because they were ready to give up.

You said when you came in that this movie doesn't even cover half of it.

Oh, yeah.

This is just, I mean,

the thing we talk about is if it really told the whole story, it'd probably be longer than the Titanic.

I mean, it would be a very long movie.

I mean, it was one miracle after another that God just set up.

You know, it was incredible to watch it play out.

Incredible.

And, you know, I think for me and for what, for our, for our, for John and Joyce and all of us, we just want to encourage people that God still does the impossible.

And we've seen it play out.

And that's a good segue to you had mentioned this off the ear, and I didn't realize the timing was the same, but this happened in the St.

Louis area in the middle of essentially the Michael Brown Ferguson stuff.

Yeah.

Yes.

This is, this is a time where this city is completely torn apart.

100%.

We'd only lived there for three months, too.

I'd only been there, Pastor, for three months.

And so we moved from Washington State and walked into this situation in St.

Louis and we're going like, oh my goodness.

I mean, the place was just, it was crazy.

And so to see God just do this for John and

it captivated the local media.

It captivated the story, just reached out and touched the city.

The city came together.

Yeah, it's amazing to see how through all that chaos that St.

Louis was coming together as well, behind the scenes as a team and as a community to pray for me and to stand by me and my family.

It's kind of amazing, you know, is the

where where in Washington State are you from?

Kind of all the way.

I was pastoring in Port Angeles, right outside of Seattle.

Okay, yeah.

So I grew up in Mount Vernon in Bellingham.

Okay.

And

I remember I moved to Phoenix, and I grew up in Pacific Northwest.

Right.

You don't see the sun.

Right.

You're like, what is that?

The sky's on fire.

Right.

And I went down, and I remember holding my hand out, and it was like I was stoned, but I was sober.

And I was holding the hand out, and I was watching the shadows and how sharp they were.

Because, you know, in Seattle, you don't see that.

There's no real shadow.

And

I kind of realized as the light grows stronger, you know, the shadows are only growing stronger because the light is growing stronger at the same time.

Darkness.

And

you kind of wonder,

you know, which we focus on.

We were focused on the darkness.

Right.

At the same time, same area,

this was happening.

Yeah.

I mean, I'm not afraid of the darkness.

I think that the darker it is, the lighter we can be.

I can't let that pass without going, you will be.

Straight from Yoda's mouth.

It really is.

What's it like seeing a movie where people are playing you?

Definitely different.

But, you know, it's a little strange at first.

But when you get to,

we had the opportunity to meet them, and they're just super, super nice people.

This cast is just a mess.

Big cast,

big names.

It's not like a lot of some of these movies you see, but they have positive messages.

You don't see the big actors and actresses taking part.

This is, I mean, the woman from This Is Us, isn't it?

I mean, this is usually, yes, it's just one big name, and then the rest are minor roles.

Stephan Curry is an executive producer.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

Yes.

Oh, wow.

First one that he's done.

Oh, that's really cool.

Yeah.

Isn't that awesome?

Yeah, geez, this is amazing.

So

why did this happen to you?

There's no real

explanation other than

what God has in store for me.

He had a a purpose to save me.

My goal is to just live it out.

I get that question a lot.

It's portrayed in the film of why am I alive and not others?

And truthfully, I don't know.

I'm not perfect.

I'm just an 18-year-old kid from St.

Louis.

I didn't mean it that way.

I can see how people mean it, but

I would think

it would play on you at night, not why don't you save other people, but what am I going to do now with my life?

I've been given a chance.

It could be really uplifting or crippling, depending on how you.

Yes, it was very hard for me at first to deal with all this because, like you said, it was a lot of pressure and I had no idea really how to handle it.

But with help from Pastor Jason and Devon Franklin and Pastor Samuel Rodriguez, them guiding me and helping me.

It's just, you know, you remember to stay humble always and, you know, try to answer the questions the best you can, but realize that you're not perfect and you don't have all the answers.

Pastor, I mean, theologically, is it okay for him to just sit home and eat Cheetos one night?

I mean, doesn't he have to do something important every minute of every day?

I mean, he is 18.

And so, I mean, I think we all feel very strongly that God's given us this message to share with the world.

I mean, we wrote the book.

We did a movie.

My book just released today where it has all the teaching lessons for people that are walking through breakthrough.

And so it's called Breakthrough Dear Miracle.

But the thing that I think is so important is one of the things that is a key in this is John actually was adopted from Guatemala when he was five months old.

So his parents adopted him.

And as he was walking through this struggle after the fact, it was like, man, why didn't my mom want me?

And that whole adoption piece was a big thing that he walked through two years after the miracle.

And so I think we definitely, one of the things we told God in the hospital when this was playing out is we will shout this from the mountaintop.

And Joyce will tell you that.

Joyce is an incredible woman, mama bear, who, I mean, is just fierce.

I mean, when she walks into the room, it just, the atmosphere changes.

And, you know, I think that's a big piece.

We've all been given, given this to share with the world.

I mean, the movie's great.

Love it.

Love the screen.

Love all of that.

But the message, I was in a church and spoke.

We spoke last weekend in a church of about 2,000 people.

And when I gave the altar response at the end of it, I said, How many of you need a breakthrough in your life?

100% of the congregation stood.

And that was in the Northeast.

I mean, you know, the Northeast is a rough place.

And so, I mean, so just for such a time as this.

Were the doctors skeptical of not at all?

The doctors bona fied miracles.

Like again, in the trailer, it looks like the doctor's like, well, I don't know.

I mean, if he lives, we should probably shoot him.

Right.

It's typical doctors, right?

I mean, they're going to give you the worst case scenario.

Yeah.

And that's exactly what they did.

You know, I mean, they gave him the worst case scenario.

I think that's one thing that really plays into breakthrough: yes, this was a miracle done by God, but also we have science to back it up.

yes there's 300 plus pages of medical documents to back up that this is a miracle they want to say the the cold water helped you well it was too warm they want to say you know your body froze well my head would have had to go in first

like you said the doctors doubted but we had the number one expert in the midwest or in some i think the midwest yeah midwest he was the number one medical expert in hypothermia and drowning and he got on secular tv and claimed that this is a modern day miracle and he can't even explain it i've spoken to a breakfast with some retired medical field doctors and I told them the story and a lot of them came up to me and said, I have been doing this my whole life until when I graduated high school, you did it, did med school and done the whole wazoo all my years.

And I said, I can explain just about every case, but yours, I have no idea.

Yeah, I mean, it defies everything we know about the body.

100%.

You know, especially, I mean, there's no effect.

looking at you.

There's no effect.

And you say there's no, there's nothing, there's nothing that's different.

About six months after this, he had to go to the eye doctor because he was having some trouble with his eyes.

And usually if you've died, all of your blood vessels and your eyes are the first things to kind of show that sign of.

And so the doctor was looking in his eyes and she said, you know, after this episode, and I love what John said, it was an episode.

He said, I died.

and told the doctor that.

And she looked in his eyes and said, there's no sign.

Your blood vessels are completely normal.

I mean, so it's incredible.

You're absolutely right.

There's no sign.

Unbelievable.

Unbelievable.

It's really crazy.

It's amazing.

It's good to meet you.

It's good to meet you.

Glad you were alive.

Thank you.

Welcome back.

And

the movie, Breakthrough, comes out April 17th.

April 17th.

2019.

The books as well.

They're out now.

They're out now.

You can get them on Amazon.

Breakthrough and Breakthrough to Your Miracle.

Breakthrough.

Is that your book that came out today?

Yes.

Breakthrough to Your Miracle came out today.

Very great.

And so it's just a teaching.

You know, it's all of what we learned.

And Glenn, how long have we been doing the show for a zillion years now?

I think since the beginning, we've asked Hollywood to make movies like stories like this and do them right, which never happens.

And this is when they're really doing it.

This is them taking a big risk.

And it's, you know, it's something we should support.

20th Century Fox.

Yeah.

I mean,

I couldn't believe it.

When I saw it, I was like.

Shut up.

Which you know what that means.

It's actually Disney.

It'll be Disney in the next couple of weeks,

which they've never done a faith-based film.

Wow, wow.

All right.

It hits theater.

It's April 17th, guys.

Thank you so much.

God bless.

Thank you.

All right, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

I'm anxious to see this movie.

I really thought after Noah

they were going to stop making these movies because they got it so wrong

and they had no desire to really do it right, you know.

And now here comes this movie Breakthrough, which looks great.

And also Unplanned, which is coming out next week, I believe.

And that is, I think that's a game changer for abortion.

It's rated R from the MPAA, but the only reason why it's rated R is because they show an abortion on an ultrasound and it is, and it's just all CGI.

It's a black and white image, but it is so clearly the death of a child.

Or some cells.

Yeah.

Or something.

A choice.

Or a choice.

It looks like it's a death of a choice.

Right, that's what it is.

Congratulations to those who are keep pushing in Hollywood.

I want to tell you about a new movie that's coming out.

It's called Best of Enemies.

You know,

we have been through worse times than this.

And this movie is the true untold story of a civil rights activist, Ann Atwater, and C.P.

Ellis.

He was a local segregationist, but I will tell you that kind of puts him in a better light than what he really was.

He was the exalted cyclops.

of the Ku Klux Klan, which is ridiculous.

Anyway,

they were asked to co-chair a steering committee, imagine this,

to

address desegregation.

Well, in this process, he had a change of heart.

It's in theaters April 5th.

It's the best of enemies.

It has a couple of Academy Award winners, including Sam Rockwell, who I think is amazing.

You can find more information out at thebestofenemies.com movie.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenbeck program.

Wow.

The polar ice cap is melting.

In fact, it's melted faster than anybody thought.

It melted to 2050 levels.

And that's why all the polar bears are dead.

All of them.

Dead.

Dead.

Well.

Well, actually, the number has quadrupled.

Wow.

Yeah, but the other ones are dead.

The ones that were alive in the 60s are all dead.

Right.

No one talks about them.

Right.

Okay.

We have a guest.

She's a zoologist.

She's the author of The Polar Bear Catastrophe That Never Happened.

She's one of the people that actually counts the bears and can tell us exactly what's happening with polar bears and

why they're actually

not suffering because of catastrophic global warming.

We have that in one minute.

This is the Glen Beck program.

Okay, if you have check engine light go off,

you need to get in and have your engine checked.

But the worst thing is you have it checked and you're like, oh,

gee, I don't have any money to have this fixed.

Well, don't worry.

It's not a lot.

It's only $800.

Just unplug the lights.

Oh, my gosh.

Yeah, that's what you do.

Just, can you take out the fuse for the check engine light thing?

Can you do that?

You don't have the money to fix it.

You don't have warranty.

Do you have car shield?

If you have car shield, most likely that's covered.

Car shield is a way for you to be covered for all of the repairs that will come up, and some of them will cost you thousands of dollars.

You can't afford a $500 bill.

$500 comes up.

Dr.

Susan Crockford is a zoologist.

She has

been working on the history of Arctic animals.

She is a

polar bear biologist, I believe.

Is that right, Susan?

Are you a polar bear biologist as well?

Well,

I'm really a general biologist,

I've got a special interest in polar bears for sure.

Okay.

First of all, when did you develop this special interest in polar bears?

When in your life did you go, I want to study polar bears?

Well, it was really probably 20 years ago.

I was really interested in the evolution of polar bears and, you know, like

where did they come from?

And

how did they actually come to be as a separate species?

And so since that time, I've been looking at the literature on polar bears and, you know, reading it all and examining it in detail.

Okay.

So that's how I got here.

All right.

So the catastrophic global warming stuff, they have been telling us for years we're killing all of the polar bears because

the ice caps are melting.

And you point out that

the ice caps have melted to 20, 50 levels in the summer, and yet the bears don't seem to be decreasing.

Exactly.

And

that was really what the whole hype was about.

Around the turn of this century, like around the year 2000,

you had polar bears really elevated to this icon of global warming.

And they were, you know, the epitome of what humans were doing wrong in destroying the planet and all of that.

And then in 2008, when polar bears bears were listed in the U.S.

as being threatened with extinction,

in fact, by 2007,

the summer ice levels had already dropped to the levels that they had predicted wouldn't happen until the middle of the century.

Now, the middle of the century was when they said that two-thirds of all the bears were going to disappear because of the lack of ice.

And in fact, since 2007, although there's been a little bit of up and down, those levels, summer sea ice levels, have stayed at that mid-century level ever since, and yet polar bear numbers have actually increased.

And to the point to where, I mean, polar bears, people don't realize polar bears are nasty animals.

They will eat you.

Exactly.

And we saw this just last summer where there were two fatal attacks within two months in Canada on western Hudson Bay.

And it really has

residents of the Arctic very nervous about the potential for what

a really thriving population of polar bears really means for people who actually have to live and work there year-round.

So this is an amazing thing because, you know, it's like the people who go big game hunting and

they'll take a picture with a lion and everybody will be all up in arms about the lion, except for the people in the community.

They're like, no, lions eat us.

We need to keep their population under control.

It's not that these people hate polar bears or want to wipe out all polar bears.

They just need control of the population because

they're everywhere.

They're around the garbage dump.

They're around

stores or any place where there's lots of garbage or food, correct?

Exactly.

However, what you have to remember is that the two attacks that happened last summer actually occurred away from communities,

and there were no attractants involved.

Both of those attacks were purely predatory attacks, where the bears came after those people with the intent to eat them.

Okay, so now,

again, the global warming people will say this is only happening because

their food source that they have always had,

whatever,

is just dying and they can't have the food source.

So they're just starving to death and they have to go down into these communities and forage.

Is that the truth, or is it lazy bearing?

Well, that's what they say, of course, but

what they're doing is

sort of citing a generalized trend of what they think they see overall.

But when you look at the specifics of these incidents, what you find is

the one attack actually occurred when the bears were just off the ice.

In fact,

it was a party of three hunters who had,

they were on a boat and they had to go to shore because they had engine trouble.

So they were just waiting to fix their boat and the ice moved in and trapped them.

Wow.

Amazing.

One of them got, they were just having morning tea, and this bear came in and attacked them, and they couldn't be rescued.

They sat there protecting the body of their friend as more and more bears came in, attracted to all the carnage

until they could be rescued because there was so much ice.

Now, so that incident cannot be blamed on lack of sea ice.

Now, Susan, I've been following the polar bear thing for a while.

My understanding of it from the media is it used to be that polar bears would basically only sit at the bottom of hills with their children and drink Coca-Cola.

Do polar bears, first let's clear this up, do polar bears share their Coke with

cubs and other animals up in the north?

Well, you know, they sometimes share their seals.

So I guess if they had a coke, they would share.

Right, okay.

Maybe they need s seal-flavored coke.

That would be something they can.

Well, you know, what would happen is that they wouldn't have straws now.

Oh, that's right.

That's hard to share.

That's a conjecture.

You are my favorite zoologist.

But I we do hear a lot of uh claims about how the sea ice is melting and these poor polar bears are uh forced to wade into the water and try to swim and find land and then they just die out in the middle of the ocean searching for a place to stop swimming.

How accurate are those claims?

Well, one of the things that's happened is that it's kind of an ironic repercussion of all of this concern about the polar bear's future is that all of the money that's been poured into polar bear research has actually

taught us a lot.

about what polar bears can and can't do when there's less sea ice.

And one of the things that they've learned is that polar bears deal with open water much better than anyone expected.

And that, in fact, you know,

they can take less sea ice in summer in their stride.

It's not really an issue.

It really is amazing because all the claims, I mean, this goes mainly back, I think, to, at least in the public eye, to Al Gore's movie where, you know, he had animation of polar bears dying.

And, I mean,

when you say that back in the 60s and 70s, it it was between, what, 5,000 and 10,000 polar bears on Earth.

And now we're looking at...

I would say between 5 and 15.

So I picked 10 as an average.

10,000.

And then what is the number actually today?

Well,

when I look at

all of the information that we've got, all the recent surveys, and apply those to areas that we don't have information for, the number comes to 39,000.

39, I mean

how can can they be talking about this creature going extinct when we're talking about a quadrupling of the number of them?

I mean, it just makes no sense to the average person.

Does it make sense to you?

Well, no, it doesn't.

And one of the things that I discovered and the thing that I talk about in my book is that

back in 2006, 2007, when the polar bear experts of the world were sitting down and trying to figure out what would happen to the bears if the sea ice dropped to

the levels that we've got today,

they had really no information about how the bears would cope with less sea ice because it hadn't happened yet.

So they were guessing.

They were using their knowledge about what polar bears did and what they had seen so far and made a guess about what would happen,

and it turned out they were wrong.

What they had done was sold to the public as facts

their guesses.

Are polar bears just northern animals, or can you find them in the South Pole, too?

No, no, they're strictly northern animals because, in fact, you don't get,

they come from, they evolved from brown bears, and so brown bears are also a northern hemisphere animal.

And why are they?

You started with, I wanted to know why they were a unique species,

why they came and how they got there and how they were.

Well, from all we can figure out that it really would have come down to the ice ages, the response of brown bears to the ice expanding during ice ages.

And

there were brown bears, for example, in Ireland.

So if you had ice coming down and covering England and Ireland, what you're doing is reducing the amount of habitat left for the brown bears there to exist.

And you've got sea ice developing offshore where there is seals because there has been seals for millions of years longer than there's been bears.

So there's food out there.

So it's an alternative habitat for

brown bears to use during an ice age.

Last question.

Is there a number or a time when you say, okay,

that's like we're at record-setting numbers of bears, polar bears, or

we need to thin the herd or anything like that?

Is there a number that?

How many polar bears are too many polar bears?

Yeah, well, I don't know.

I don't think I can answer that question.

But, you know, there's

it's it's going, it's already a problem for communities in the Arctic.

And

Churchill in Manitoba is sort of

offered as the perfect way of how you deal with large numbers of polar bears coming in in the fall and this is how you deal with the increased danger but that takes a lot of money and most of the communities you know little isolated communities hamlets in Greenland and up in northern Canada they don't have that kind of money and

so those are the people who are going to have to decide how much is to how many is too much.

Thank you so much, Susan.

I really appreciate it.

Susan Crockford,

She is the author of a book called The Polar Bear Catastrophe that Never Happened.

Susan, thank you.

God bless.

10 seconds, station ID.

I have a hard time staying awake today.

I was up late.

I was past my bedtime.

7.30, you said, huh?

That's really late.

It was 3 in the afternoon.

I was having dinner, and I'm like, it's going to be a late, crazy night tonight.

I wish Denny's would at least warn you when it gets past 4 p.m.

So you know.

I was on

Hannity

last night, and it was so it was late for me.

Yes, very late.

I was here at the here at the studios, and we talked about

this socialist cult

that really we're in.

We are really witnessing a political cult.

If you disagree with them, they destroy you.

And

it is a dangerous death cult.

Here's audio of Betto.

And I want you to listen to what he's saying.

He's asking about nine-month-old babies being aborted.

Listen.

Are you for or against third trimester abortions?

So the question is about abortion and reproductive rights.

And my answer to you is that that should be be a decision that the woman makes on her own baby.

Yeah!

Check it!

Woo!

Oh, sorry.

That was actually me adding that last part.

Right.

That wasn't no, that wasn't in there.

I wish you were in the audience.

It would have been fantastic.

It's amazing to me.

We're talking about nine-month-old children.

And the clip that leads up to that, the woman who asked the question in an extended way explains exactly what she's talking about.

She's not just talking about first or second trimester.

She says third trimester, which you heard, but she also explained the entire process.

We're talking about babies that could be born, that they could do a C-section on and just remove the baby.

There's no effect, negative effect at all for the mother.

She gives all the disclaimers and says, do you still support third trimester abortion?

And the answer is, well, I think women should make choice.

Like this, like that's a real intellectual high point.

I think women make choice.

Well, how about this?

How about when they're nine years old?

Do women still make the choice?

Why not?

If it's just about choice, well, we have another body, we have another person, and their choice is involved here.

Their choices, their life is important in this choice we're making.

Dads, I mean, I would like the choice.

If, if, if the child is riding piggyback on my back,

daddy gets to make the choice.

Yeah, there you go.

Uh, honey, you don't have anything to say about it.

I'm taking him outside and I'm killing him.

Right.

He's on my shoulders.

It's my choice what to do.

I love that.

Like, they act as if this choice thing is, it just

derails all other arguments.

Well, why does choice go away

after they're born?

Do you know how to do that?

Unfortunately, I hate to tempt fate here because they seem to be arguing that as well.

Do you know how frustrated if Hitler is still alive in Argentina?

In Argentina.

He is really old and decrepit, and he's like, wait a minute.

At a vegan eatery.

He's worried about it.

Just a second here.

You mean I could have killed them all if I just called it Planned Parenthood?

I mean, that's really.

I mean, the ideological basis for Planned Parenthood was eugenics.

I mean, it was very close to the part of that movement.

They inspired.

They inspired the Germans.

And really, what is the difference?

He was killing babies that were undesirable.

They're now talking about killing babies that are undesirable because there's a problem after birth.

It's the same thing.

You did the same.

You did a monologue on television.

I think it was last week about euthanasia and how far that's gone in some of these countries, these enlightened European countries.

What was it?

Was it

the percentage?

Was it Denmark or Norway?

One of those countries is a quarter of all deaths.

A third.

A third of all deaths last year were euthanasia.

One third.

I don't know.

Does that sound bad to you?

And they're getting to the point now to where it doesn't matter what you say.

It doesn't matter.

If, you know, if you're just kind of a little bit off your rocker, you know, or if you're depressed,

you don't need more than one doctor.

Even the Germans, the German, the Nazis had three doctors sign off on it.

We're now reducing everything to one doctor.

We're becoming worse than the Nazis.

Gee, who said that about seven years ago?

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

All right, while social security numbers sell for a buck on the dark web, full medical records can command about $1,000 because they have everything in them.

I mean, your healthcare provider, are they guarding your records?

Because a survey last year found that just 16%

have a fully functional cybersecurity program in place.

So if somebody hacks into your doctors, it's not just yours, imagine the thousands and thousands of dollars that they can get for your medical records.

Cyber criminals are always looking for easy ways.

Actually, it's, I mean, if they would just apply their skills to good as opposed to evil,

it's not really that easy, but it's, it's, they're taking your information and the only ones that are standing really against it and can catch those things that you might miss is Life Lock.

We have another gaffe from Joe Biden

coming up

and much, much more in just a moment on the Glenn Beck program.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

This, as we have

really totalitarianism headed our way, and there is no

better way to to describe that.

It's not just socialism.

It's totalitarianism.

Or

I think

better is the

utopia of certainty, this instrumentarian kind of totalitarianism that is coming.

Instrumentarianism is

the development of total certainty.

And I think the more I study AI,

the more I realize that is what their goal is, is total certainty.

And we are going to have,

you know,

we have a lot of ethical questions that we need to answer that I don't think any of us are even thinking about.

And that is,

for instance, minority report.

We all thought minority report was crazy.

We wouldn't want to live in minority report.

But that's what that is.

It was total certainty.

The precogs, the women in the milk bath,

they never got it wrong.

Well, you don't need the women in the milk bath anymore.

What we have now is a society of total predictability.

And let me give you a real-world example.

Amazon is going to go from a shopping app

to a shipping app.

Now, what do I mean by this?

They believe that when they can predict anywhere from 93%

certain to 95% certain, they can now become a shipping company.

Because

they don't need you to do shopping.

They will be able to predict what you're looking for, what you're thinking about, what you want, what you desire, and they will ship it to you, and you have to return it.

Okay?

So it'll be free returns, but it won't work for them if they can't have close to certainty.

So this is instrumentarianism, where

they are looking to predict everyone at all times.

And they shape and control.

When you get to that position to where you have that much information, now it's really easy to nudge the entire society one way or another.

You just shift the weight of Google one way, and it changes things.

And they know that.

And the government wants to be involved.

And we did a podcast this last weekend,

and

I thought it was really interesting.

He was a real optimist.

And I haven't run into a real optimist in a very, very long time.

Did you hear the podcast this weekend, too?

Yeah.

Ryan Karana.

Yeah, I mean,

I like, that's what I like about the podcast.

Sometimes there are issues you care about and that the audience cares about, but also they don't always agree with you.

Yes.

So you have that sort of open

timeframe to be able to just go back and forth and kind of challenge each other.

Right.

So yeah, it's a pretty interesting.

Can we play a couple clips here real quick?

Sure.

We have you talking about

the optimism versus the pessimism when it comes to which camp is Ryan in?

I would say I'm in neither camp.

I think both of those are

far-flung possibilities.

And if we look at technological advance throughout history, It's always been that as soon as a new technology comes out, it causes mass panic.

It causes a lot of crisis.

One of the most famous examples would be the printing press.

As soon as the printing press comes out, you completely change the way society functions.

30 years of war and chaos and Europe has to completely reorganize the very conception of how it works.

After that, you have a lot more prosperity.

What technologies do is they challenge existing orders and It doesn't inevitably lead to prosperity and it doesn't inevitably lead to chaos, but people have an incentive that while that change is occurring to try to figure out how to best manage it, how to best utilize them, how to adapt to the new world they create.

And then you find this equilibrium where things are slightly better or much better or slightly worse and that's manageable.

So

okay,

all right.

You're still against the printing press as far as I understand.

Right, right.

I mean, I agree agree with him on this.

However, he takes on a few other topics, for instance, AI and AGI, and says that he doesn't believe it's ever going to happen.

Yeah, that was I haven't heard that it's not going to happen a lot.

I think some people believe it's going to be mostly positive results.

But he really didn't even think that it was going to happen, at least not in the short term.

I mean, he didn't think that we would also get into transhumanism.

We're already into transhumanism.

You know, he's a really, he's very well read.

He has studied this.

He knows it.

And

he is warning of people,

the same kind of people that I am, that just go blindly into this and haven't really thought things through.

But he is, I mean, he's just a real optimist on these things are not going to happen.

Did he say where he wanted transhumanists to go to the bathroom?

Like, which one did they go in?

That's something we need to do.

Well, I don't even know what the little symbol looks like.

That was a transhumanist.

He also talked about technology and unemployment.

Listen.

Yes, retraining is hard for people over 50.

And this is what's happened in almost every industrial revolution we've had thus far.

We remember the Industrial Revolution as being we have all these new technologies, the world is much more productive, we're all happier.

It was misery for a lot of the people living through it who had to uproot themselves from rural communities and pack into unsanitary urban centers.

It took time for us to learn how to develop the institutions and the kind of governance needed to make sure that this is better than it was before, that this opportunity was taken advantage of.

And we're going through a similar upheaval right now.

And the people that are most affected by the kinds of automation occurring.

are usually older people who have been at one company for their entire life, who have learned something very specialized and applicable to that company.

When that job disappears, they don't really know how to apply those skills to something different.

And number two are young people just entering the workforce.

A lot of them do routine work.

Routine work is easier to automate.

Those jobs aren't as common.

And I think this pretty well parallels the two types of

people who are most frustrated with the current political scene.

Young millennials looking for work and older people who've lost their classical jobs.

And so you're right.

We have to talk to them.

We have to figure out how do we address their concerns.

But the second point that you brought up is Silicon Valley doesn't talk to 90% of the country, but they're going to get their way anyways.

I don't agree that that's the case.

And the reason why that's not the case is most of these technologies,

if you look at the cool advancements happening in artificial intelligence right now, they're not being filtered into the real world at all.

They're fancy lab experiments.

And the reason why is most people have no idea how to use them.

They don't know how to put them into their businesses.

They don't know how to reorganize their factories to leverage these improvements.

And unless the Silicon Valley talks to the other 90%, these technologies will be for them.

And you'll have a couple of people be really rich off of them.

They don't really make that wide of an impact, though.

I so strongly disagree with you.

You look at Google, but I want you to hear both sides of the argument.

And

he's probably one of the best to be able to make the other case.

And he's very optimistic and very smart and

really well worth your time.

It's our free podcast, it comes out on Saturdays.

This was last week, so you can listen to it wherever you get your podcast.

Just look for the Glenn Beck podcast and make sure you subscribe, review, and rate.

This weekend, I have one of the most incredible stories I've ever heard.

This is a guy who

was

really deeply screwed up as a kid, was hearing voices and everything else.

And

the voices told him, go to the Golden Gate Bridge and kill yourself.

And he didn't want to.

And he was hoping someone, he was praying actually that someone would stop him.

And they didn't.

And he thought he had to kill himself.

And he goes over the rail.

And as soon as he let go, he realized, What have I done?

And he prayed, God save me.

The miracle of this guy and what happened to him is

incredible.

How he was sail, how he was saved.

When we tie it up all at the end,

it's an absolute miracle.

And if you know anybody who is depressed or has any kind of mental illness, this is a podcast that is a must.

If you are just somebody that's really into miracles, this podcast is a must.

This weekend, it comes out on Saturday.

It's wherever you get your

podcasts at glenbeck.com.

You can find links there to iTunes and everywhere else.

It's the Glenbeck podcast.

All right, let me tell you about Goldline, our sponsor.

You know, security for you and your family doesn't happen.

You just, you have to take action for it to happen.

What happens if there is

an emergency or we need to barter or buy

food or fuel or water and the ATMs are down?

What do you do?

Goldline has just released their 2019 version of the legal tender bar.

It contains 10 individual, 1 tenth of an ounce, 99.99% pure gold bullion.

It's a legal tender, and it's a legal tender bar.

It's secure in a new credit card size barter case it slides open so like chiclets except they're little teeny gold bars it'll slide out and you can use it to barter it's one-tenth of an ounce it's it's the right size to be able to

be able to get you out of any kind of situation

and and you won't have to break it down into other pieces and everyone will accept it because it was made by the Canadian mint and it's all marked.

It's an amazing thing.

It's a small little thing about the size of a credit card.

It comes in a little case that you can put there in your wallet or your purse.

It's made to carry around.

So, in case you do have a problem and the world melts down, you have something.

Goldline, 1-866-GoldLine.

Ask them about their legal tender bar.

It's goldline.com or call them right now.

They're waiting for your call.

Just don't buy anything.

Just call and ask for all the information and do your own homework.

866-GoldLine, 1-866-Goldline or Goldline.com.

Yeah.

On Twitter.

What?

You're trending in the USA right now.

Glenn Beck is trending.

It's always a good sign.

Yeah, I know.

This one, though, it's a story from Newsweek, I guess, that says Glenn Beck says socialism means the end of the country as we know it.

I feel pretty confident in that

analysis.

Yeah.

So I'm fine with that part of it.

It does say, however, Glenn Beck trending with Colonel Sanders.

Now, what does that so like people are associating when they're typing Glenn Beck, the other thing they're typing is Colonel Sanders.

I can't imagine why.

I can't imagine it either.

I cannot imagine why.

I mean, maybe they have eyes.

That's the only thing that's happening.

You know what?

Next time, if I'm on Hannity again, I think I'll wear the Colonel Sanders outfit.

Yeah.

That's exactly what I'm saying.

Just have the big bucket of chicken and just be talking to him about socialism.

You know what they don't have?

They don't have in Venezuela?

Kentucky fried chicken.

They don't have that.

No.

Yeah.

You know what they don't have in Cuba?

Kentucky fried chicken.

They don't even have the extra crispy or the original recipe.

Sir, all your points seem to be based around KFC.

Yes.

You know what the USSR didn't have?

The big bucket of mashed potatoes and gravy, which was delicious.

Do they still have that thing?

I liked when KFC went down the road of like, you know what?

People are, they just want to eat the fried chicken.

Let's just make that the bun.

Remember when they did that?

They were like, what?

They just had the bun of the sandwich were two chicken patties.

You held it by the chicken patties with no bun.

The bun was the chicken.

And then in the middle, they just jammed some like cheese and bacon and sauce.

And so you just eat it.

I don't remember those days.

Those are good days.

It's called the double down.

That's what it was called.

The double down.

Wow.

That's innovation.

That's you know, that's when you know the thing I didn't like about KFC is

stop being afraid of saying fried.

Right.

It's fried.

You're a fried chicken place.

Ain't no hiding.

You know that at least, there's at least 10% of the country out there who's like, you know what?

I thought it was too unhealthy when it was fried, but now that it's just,

I'm fine.

Now this is KFC.

I don't know what it is.

I have no idea what it is.

I have no idea at all.

It's like, you know, you're going into McDonald's.

I want the clown just to go, yeah.

We're bad for you.

Half of our stuff is melted plastic,

but damn, don't you want it?

Jam it down your gullet today.

I love that approach.

I do too.

Just go for it.

I mean, we've got we're going to get probably

at least 40% of this country that's going to vote for somebody like Betto or Bernie Sanders or

Elizabeth Warren.

I mean, you're telling me that the KFC thing doesn't work to fool people into being Harry Smith.

Seriously,

I think it does.

Are you telling me?

I've never seen any man card that needed to be revoked more than Betto's.

Oh, well.

When he said, yeah, you know, I'm on the road working and my wife is at home.

She's really raising the kids really without me.

What the hell is wrong with that?

He's trying to give her credit because she's doing a lot of the tough work.

Most likely deserve.

Sure.

And then he comes out and he's like, I'm sorry.

I didn't have my pantyhose on right.

And oh, I should wear a dress.

And I'm so sorry.

And I didn't notice that it was really bad, but I'm never going to say that again.

That was such a weird apology.

What are you apologizing for?

Oh, my gosh.

Being a

beta male is not.

He is nowhere near an alpha male.

No way.

No way.

And that's coming from you.

Yes.

He's currently training as Colonel Sanders.

That's what I mean.

Isn't there, isn't, there's never been a better case than a man's

man card being taken from him than that particular thing.

Just hang your head in shame.

I don't even think eating a double-down sandwich gets your man card back after that.

You almost have to put chicken in the middle of a chicken sandwich with the two buns or chicken.

And the chicken has to be live, right?

It has to be just two chickens, feathers and all.

I'm eating it anyway.

That's what it needs to be.

That coming from Colonel Sanders.

Who knows what's good for chickens and what's bad for America is socialism.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.
