'Truth or Only Outrage'? - 9/19/18

Speaker 1 The Blaze Radio Network

Speaker 1 on demand.

Speaker 2 Glenn back.

Speaker 3 Is it just me?

Speaker 5 Are we all seeing the world entirely political? That's it.

Speaker 6 That's the only lens we have now.

Speaker 7 It's just political.

Speaker 8 Only politics.

Speaker 9 Love, art, music, movies, cars, everything political.

Speaker 13 This is the world the postmodernists want us to live in.

Speaker 16 This is the new social justice movement.

Speaker 18 It's postmodern.

Speaker 20 The personal is political, and the political is personal.

Speaker 22 Everything people see has some political meaning.

Speaker 23 Cartoons.

Speaker 26 We saw this with the latest news from Thomas the Tank Engine.

Speaker 28 I'm not kidding you.

Speaker 33 Thomas the Tank, the creators, went to the UN and said, How can we make this correct with the political views of the UN?

Speaker 23 I don't know if Thomas occasionally identifies as Thomas Cena,

Speaker 37 but it's coming.

Speaker 38 Sports destroyed.

Speaker 23 Food, everything,

Speaker 16 everything the social justice-driven postmodernists seize is political.

Speaker 43 Video games are now taking a hit lately too, and usually the people who throw these tantrums to insist that there be handicapped women in a historically accurate video game about World War II, excuse me, or people who throw the fit that there aren't enough pansexual women of color on Thomas the Tank engine usually don't even play the video games or watch the cartoons.

Speaker 25 They just feel a need to impose their view on every aspect of life.

Speaker 28 Yesterday, the book that I've been working on for quite some time, Addicted to Outrage, came out, and as if on cue,

Speaker 9 yesterday afternoon, it shouldn't have been a surprise to hear the news that a writer from Sesame Street claims that Bert and Ernie are gay.

Speaker 56 Sesame Street, a show for children about counting,

Speaker 57 has been sexually used now in an act of political arrogance.

Speaker 13 Mark Salzman, who wrote for the show from 1984 to 1998, said during an interview with something called Queerity

Speaker 7 that he always considered Burton and Ernie a loving couple.

Speaker 2 Okay,

Speaker 5 I think they're loving to each other as well.

Speaker 7 That doesn't mean they're doing the nasty, you know.

Speaker 9 As soon as they go to pan down to Oscar the Grouch, quick to the garbage can because they're making out.

Speaker 30 He even mentions that one time a kindergartner asked him about it.

Speaker 20 We can assume this example of a recent phenomenon called woke kids, where adults ascribe adult ideas, usually about the president, to children, as if to say, see, this idea is so pure and so right that children get it, when in reality, the idea comes from a self-righteous person who is politicizing children.

Speaker 4 Although we can't confirm that in this case, Salsman, who is gay, said, I always felt that without a huge agenda, when I was writing Burton Ernie, they were gay.

Speaker 5 I didn't have any other way to contextualize them.

Speaker 4 The other thing was, more than one person referred to Arnie and I as Bert and Ernie.

Speaker 20 Oh, well, then that makes it true.

Speaker 13 Thank God officials from Sesame Street stepped in with some sanity.

Speaker 68 Their statement, as we have always said, Bert and Ernie are best friends.

Speaker 69 They were created to teach preschoolers that people can be good friends with those who are very different from themselves.

Speaker 25 See, one does this all the time,

Speaker 2 and the other one

Speaker 20 is angry

Speaker 4 Even though they're identified as male characters and possess many human traits and characteristics as most Sesame Street Muppets do and I love that they actually said this in a press release They remain

Speaker 74 puppets

Speaker 68 Puppets and they do not have sexual orientation

Speaker 68 This is the world we're living in A major company had to spell that out. They're puppets, therefore, they don't have anything.

Speaker 68 Nothing in their pants.

Speaker 6 In other news, and I'm not making this up, a

Speaker 47 transgendered stripper

Speaker 42 is claiming that weedies are pansexual.

Speaker 59 More on that as the broadcast continues.

Speaker 59 How do we

Speaker 2 how do we not

Speaker 4 how do we control our outbreak?

Speaker 76 How do we mr.

Speaker 76 addicted to outrage? Were you just screaming about puppets?

Speaker 2 Is that what was going on there?

Speaker 2 Okay, so this

Speaker 26 okay. Did you see Frank Oz?

Speaker 70 Did you see what Frank Oz? What here's Frank Oz?

Speaker 37 He's Yoda.

Speaker 77 Okay, Frank Oz is Yoda. He created the character.
He voiced the character.

Speaker 11 He's Yoda.

Speaker 76 He's also a well-known pansexual, by the way. Right.

Speaker 14 He also is the creator of, you know,

Speaker 15 the Eagle.

Speaker 79 What's that? The Eagle, Burt the Eagle, or whatever he is.

Speaker 80 Burton Ernie.

Speaker 28 Animal.

Speaker 67 I think he did Miss Piggy.

Speaker 81 Okay.

Speaker 2 He's been there since the beginning.

Speaker 82 So, he writes about the writer Saltzman.

Speaker 79 He tweets this yesterday.

Speaker 3 It seems Mr.

Speaker 48 Mark Saltzman was asked if Burton Ernie are gay.

Speaker 69 It's fine that he feels they are.

Speaker 15 They're not, of course, but why the question?

Speaker 56 Does it really matter?

Speaker 86 Why the need to define people only as gay?

Speaker 42 There's so much more to being a human being than just straightness or gayness.

Speaker 2 Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh.

Speaker 23 We have to destroy Frank Oz now.

Speaker 76 Did you hear what he just said?

Speaker 20 Yes. Oh my gosh.

Speaker 17 Okay, so Tom writes in,

Speaker 24 why are they not gay?

Speaker 49 I'm not arguing.

Speaker 17 I'm just wondering.

Speaker 88 Why are they not gay?

Speaker 2 Well, there's a couple of reasons.

Speaker 74 They're puppets, for one.

Speaker 69 Second,

Speaker 74 because they're not.

Speaker 75 They're just not.

Speaker 33 I don't know.

Speaker 89 Why are you gay?

Speaker 40 He said, because I created Bert.

Speaker 43 I know what and who he is.

Speaker 90 Then somebody else chimes in.

Speaker 7 You may have created him, but you don't seem to realize or appreciate what he meant the thousands of little boys growing up.

Speaker 65 You digging your heels in

Speaker 22 with

Speaker 22 what seems like disgust is disappointing.

Speaker 5 Frank writes, how odd you see my feelings as disgust.

Speaker 23 If your feelings are being perceived as disgust, it's because you're so adamant that they're not gay.

Speaker 69 He's the creator of them.

Speaker 24 It's him. He's the one.
He knows.

Speaker 9 He created them as best friends who live together, who have, it's the odd couple.

Speaker 9 Was the odd couple, was that a gay couple?

Speaker 31 Do you remember the show at all?

Speaker 37 The Neil Simon, you know, Oscar Madison and

Speaker 13 Felix Unger yeah and they just brought it back too it was

Speaker 59 at least it was a bad insult yeah so

Speaker 2 so

Speaker 24 this is they're not gay they live together that's what the those two are are reminiscent of two people that don't agree that live together What a concept.

Speaker 73 Maybe we should stop listening and worrying about if they were gay and let's just concentrate on, wait a minute, they were created for what?

Speaker 68 To show that two people

Speaker 94 who disagree with each other, who aren't like one another,

Speaker 68 can live side by side.

Speaker 2 No, Frank, you're wrong, and I need to shut you up.

Speaker 96 Boy, did you miss the point of Burt and Ernie?

Speaker 2 So he goes on.

Speaker 7 He writes,

Speaker 42 so Ben writes and says,

Speaker 30 Representation matters, Frank.

Speaker 59 Frank says, yes, it does, when it's an honest representation.

Speaker 101 What would you make the representation of these two characters as gay, honest?

Speaker 81 Do we need to see them bang?

Speaker 7 If a mother tells me her son's roommate is actually his partner, I don't say that's not an honest representation.

Speaker 5 Frank says, well, okay, it really doesn't matter.

Speaker 7 What matters is that people see positive views of themselves and others in Burton Ernie.

Speaker 13 Wait, but isn't it dishonest to call them just brothers or friends?

Speaker 75 I thought this was about honesty.

Speaker 102 Oh my gosh.

Speaker 21 It's important for characters to be explicitly declared queer because the mainstream will quote them as straight by default.

Speaker 49 Agreed, Frank writes, when a character is created to be queer, it is important that the character be known as such.

Speaker 78 It's also important when a character who was not created queer to be accepted as such.

Speaker 27 Oh my gosh.

Speaker 103 I.

Speaker 102 I want out.

Speaker 2 I won out. I won out.

Speaker 20 I won out. I want out.
I won out.

Speaker 2 Okay, so here's the thing.

Speaker 17 So I'm,

Speaker 13 you know, just writing down some thoughts.

Speaker 84 And I think about all of the joy that Sesame Street has brought all of us and brought me in particular.

Speaker 98 I used to love watching the Muppets.

Speaker 36 Sometimes I still do.

Speaker 30 And I started thinking about all of the joy of Frank Oz, and then I started to think of, you know, Jim Henson.

Speaker 13 And then I remembered, you know, Kermit the Frog and I I was like oh man I I love Kermit the Frog he is he is so great

Speaker 2 right

Speaker 44 and then I started thinking about the rainbow connection

Speaker 40 and I wanted to look up I wanted to play this song and

Speaker 63 and listen to the words

Speaker 14 why are there so many songs about rainbows and what's on the other side?

Speaker 65 Because rainbows are vision, but only illusions.

Speaker 40 And rainbows have nothing to hide.

Speaker 40 Right.

Speaker 2 So we've been told.

Speaker 3 And some choose to believe it.

Speaker 83 But I know they're wrong.

Speaker 70 Just wait and see.

Speaker 104 Someday we'll find it.

Speaker 30 The rainbow connection.

Speaker 105 The lovers,

Speaker 60 the dreamers, and me.

Speaker 2 Okay, okay, so, all right, okay, so, all right, that made me happy.

Speaker 20 And I thought, oh, there's kind of a lesson to be learned there.

Speaker 77 I should have stopped there.

Speaker 16 I should have stopped there.

Speaker 67 But instead, because I have iTunes music, I noticed that there's other people who have sung the rainbow connection.

Speaker 101 For instance,

Speaker 13 other people, you mean the first person? The first one was a frog, right?

Speaker 76 So this would be the first.

Speaker 19 I mean, if you want to be technical, it was a puppet.

Speaker 84 And it was Jim Henson that sang the song.

Speaker 99 That seems like.

Speaker 83 And then I thought, oh, this might be nice to hear.

Speaker 99 I didn't know Sarah McLaughlin did it. Why are there so many

Speaker 99 songs about rainbows?

Speaker 66 It doesn't even sound like her, does it? No.

Speaker 51 And I'm thinking to myself, okay,

Speaker 2 that's not good.

Speaker 17 Gwen Stefani did

Speaker 44 a rainbow connection

Speaker 83 as well, and she kind of sounds a little something like this.

Speaker 2 And what's up on the other

Speaker 10 side?

Speaker 102 Okay, I thought, no, no, I can't handle it.

Speaker 2 Oh, wait a minute.

Speaker 34 Oh, the carpenters did a

Speaker 34 gosh.

Speaker 34 Oh boy.

Speaker 2 Why are this

Speaker 2 come on?

Speaker 9 Okay, how about Kenny Loggins

Speaker 49 did

Speaker 98 Rainbow Connection?

Speaker 31 You go to Kenny Loggins.

Speaker 92 You can go to

Speaker 2 Ben Martin.

Speaker 71 You can go.

Speaker 85 Here's my...

Speaker 25 This is...

Speaker 2 We don't need any more versions of this song. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 97 No.

Speaker 14 You need this one.

Speaker 83 This is...

Speaker 39 This one's just...

Speaker 2 Why are there so many

Speaker 2 Willie Nelson?

Speaker 2 Okay, so

Speaker 28 I just want you to know

Speaker 106 there are many things to be outraged by.

Speaker 7 Many things to be outraged by.

Speaker 52 You could be outraged that they are straight instead of gay.

Speaker 2 But then

Speaker 7 there are real reasons to be outraged.

Speaker 107 The rainbow connection should only be sung in the voice of Kermit the Frog, period.

Speaker 48 No one else should do it.

Speaker 108 And I am taking a very hard stand on that.

Speaker 76 So that's a legitimate outrage.

Speaker 13 That one is legitimate.

Speaker 76 You talk about in the book that there are some things that you should be outraged about.

Speaker 43 Yes. And you're identifying.

Speaker 20 Yes.

Speaker 72 Forget about the Supreme Court.

Speaker 9 Okay.

Speaker 9 Forget about the Supreme Court.

Speaker 34 Forget about what that means for justice, for our children going forward.

Speaker 73 Forget about that.

Speaker 102 And Burton Ernie being gay? No.

Speaker 60 The outrage that we should be concentrating on is the rainbow connection.

Speaker 2 There's only one version, and there should always remain only one version.

Speaker 7 All right, so the U.S.

Speaker 48 government has charged a North Korean man for the 2014 cyber assault on Sony.

Speaker 58 How did they find this guy? I mean, I know how they found this guy.

Speaker 83 I mean, obviously.

Speaker 25 But I mean, he's North Korean.

Speaker 83 It's not like you're looking up his social security number.

Speaker 7 How are you finding who this guy really is?

Speaker 83 He was part of a team of hackers called the Lazarus Group who repeatedly tried to breach U.S.

Speaker 14 businesses with ransomware cyber attacks.

Speaker 7 They finally got it through to Sony, and the employees there were tricked by these links that were sent to them by Facebook and Twitter, and it contained this North Korean-controlled malware.

Speaker 7 They were screwed, and there was nothing they could do.

Speaker 3 There's so many threats in today's connected world.

Speaker 2 Glad you're here.

Speaker 7 Yesterday I was with the Daily Wire

Speaker 20 with

Speaker 7 Andrew Clavin and Ben Shapiro and Jeremy Boring and

Speaker 109 Michael Knowles,

Speaker 42 who should be fired immediately, but that's a different story.

Speaker 84 And we did a backstage thing where it was 90 minutes or so of just sitting around

Speaker 7 just talking about the news and

Speaker 7 life.

Speaker 15 This group is so smart

Speaker 99 and so sharp and so funny.

Speaker 13 It was

Speaker 110 a lot of fun.

Speaker 7 And it was on Facebook. You can find it on my Facebook page or the Blaze Facebook page.

Speaker 20 Anything I should know about?

Speaker 76 Because I wasn't there for the taping, and I'm just curious if there's anything that I'm going to have to be dealing with for, let's say, the rest of my life.

Speaker 45 There was.

Speaker 76 Or at least my career, which probably will be over very soon.

Speaker 17 There were.

Speaker 85 Some reports that I've heard.

Speaker 2 The use of a bong.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 yeah.

Speaker 76 Huh? There wasn't a.

Speaker 2 So I thought it was.

Speaker 2 Because

Speaker 94 I don't smoke and I don't drink.

Speaker 28 And we are in California.

Speaker 17 So I thought it would be funny to at some point, and it takes almost the full 90 minutes for me to find exactly the right place.

Speaker 2 They had no idea I had gone to a

Speaker 3 dispensary here.

Speaker 76 So you went to a dispensary.

Speaker 43 Yeah, okay. Well, I didn't.

Speaker 43 You sent your minions

Speaker 17 to the dispensary.

Speaker 6 And I did.

Speaker 68 They did look at me

Speaker 7 weirdly when I said, I need you to go and find a place where you can buy a bong.

Speaker 2 Oh, you're in California.

Speaker 17 Right.

Speaker 4 It was right down the street. It was like half a block.

Speaker 76 I've walked by several of them.

Speaker 43 So I've been here.

Speaker 5 So they told me that the bong buying experience was a little weird.

Speaker 7 And none of us really knew how to use a modern bong.

Speaker 2 A modern bong.

Speaker 2 You are cool.

Speaker 2 I don't know how to explain it to you.

Speaker 76 I know.

Speaker 76 Yeah, that's a moment I need to see. And there are several others I've heard that were interesting.

Speaker 2 It was great, actually, really great.

Speaker 20 It was really funny. Really funny.
I'm on with Andrew Clavin, I think, today.

Speaker 45 Yeah, me too.

Speaker 76 And Michael Knowles as well for me today. I'm excited about doing those too.

Speaker 14 And I'm with

Speaker 85 Adam Carolla.

Speaker 20 Is it this week or next week?

Speaker 43 Cool.

Speaker 103 And there's a couple.

Speaker 79 I'm doing a couple of other shows today.

Speaker 42 So they're, you know, all top 20

Speaker 20 or so podcasts. So if you listen around, we're doing all podcasts.

Speaker 2 Alternative media, right?

Speaker 20 Yeah.

Speaker 43 I can't tell you,

Speaker 45 stop with the media and then go on the media.

Speaker 112 I'm not mad at it. Stop with the media.

Speaker 49 It's their

Speaker 58 time has passed.

Speaker 102 Their time has passed.

Speaker 20 All right.

Speaker 7 Back in just a second with more on Kavanaugh and also the latest outrage.

Speaker 109 We are doing a Glenbeck podcast this weekend.

Speaker 29 It's an extra.

Speaker 29 If you subscribe to the Glenbeck radio show and the podcast on iTunes or wherever you listen to podcasts, on the weekend, and in fact, this weekend or next weekend, you're going to be getting two of these.

Speaker 29 You get an extra show.

Speaker 7 So on Saturday, you will receive the Glenbeck podcast, which this week is an interview with a guy that most people have not heard of, and I think he is fascinating.

Speaker 55 I brought him in because I wasn't sure who he was.

Speaker 29 I started reading his book, Springtime for Snowflakes, and

Speaker 7 he's a former, what he describes as a libertarian communist. In the interview, I asked him, what the hell?

Speaker 20 How does that work?

Speaker 39 And he had a really quite interesting answer.

Speaker 7 But he has worked in the university system his whole life, and he has been part of deconstruction, and he knows the postmodern movement inside and out.

Speaker 100 He has been part of the radical Marxist left

Speaker 23 until recently.

Speaker 26 And he talks a little bit about

Speaker 58 what happened to him and why he woke up.

Speaker 90 Let me give you cut one here.

Speaker 3 He begins to wake up.

Speaker 113 Yeah, it was a Twitter.

Speaker 114 I'm sorry, it was a Facebook post that I made.

Speaker 13 It was a joke.

Speaker 114 There was a student at the University of Michigan who posted, when asked by the university or given the right to

Speaker 114 use any pronoun he wanted and to enter it into the system under his profile, chose, quote, His Majesty.

Speaker 110 I thought it was hilarious.

Speaker 114 And so I posted, I simply posted a link to that article, having thousands of leftist friends, a lot of trans friends at that time.

Speaker 4 And the vitriol, the outrage, the hysteria was just unbelievable.

Speaker 114 They called me everything from a transphobe to

Speaker 114 committing discursive violence,

Speaker 110 a phrase I will explain later.

Speaker 20 Yes, please.

Speaker 114 And

Speaker 114 of treason,

Speaker 114 you know, on and on and on, just for posting a link to an article with no comment.

Speaker 115 And I said,

Speaker 20 this is unbelievable.

Speaker 114 And then I realized that

Speaker 114 everybody was kowtowing to this kind of ideological ideological pressure. Everybody I knew.

Speaker 114 They were all careful not to say something that would offend this crowd, this trans crowd and this social justice crowd. And they were scary.

Speaker 102 So he goes on then to

Speaker 30 start his own Twitter handle.

Speaker 14 And it was, what was it?

Speaker 97 Deplorable NYU Professor.

Speaker 116 Now, here's a guy who is a published communist.

Speaker 37 He has written white papers widely distributed for communists.

Speaker 71 He's respected by the left and everybody else.

Speaker 42 He decides, okay, this is getting out of hand.

Speaker 94 And he decides to start writing Twitter posts.

Speaker 79 Here's what happened next.

Speaker 114 I had an NYU student newspaper reporter contact me and said, you know, these tweets are really something else. Are you really an NYU professor? This was through a direct message, and I said, yes.

Speaker 114 And so she asked me if I would sit down for an an interview, and I said, yes. I wasn't sure I would go in the record, but I would talk to her.
So we did that.

Speaker 114 And after I was done talking to her, I said, there's really nothing, what I've said here needs to be said. And I actually want to put my name on it, frankly,

Speaker 114 because I think

Speaker 114 there's nothing objectionable in some, you know, there's nothing fundamentally abhorrent.

Speaker 117 or deplorable about it.

Speaker 114 It's just another viewpoint. And it's a vantage point I think needs to be aired.
And

Speaker 114 that went in the paper. She took a picture of me laughing, and that made the heresy, you know, somewhat redoubled.

Speaker 114 And then all hell broke loose within my university.

Speaker 5 You were called in the middle of a class, were you not?

Speaker 114 I was called out in the middle of the class by the dean and said, you know, can you come over to see me?

Speaker 114 And I said, sure. And I've kind of had an idea what it was about.

Speaker 114 Although I was saying that this really is happening. I'm being called in for my political views.

Speaker 110 And so I go over and

Speaker 114 he comes up really close to me, pulls me into the office. I come into the office.

Speaker 114 He pulls me real close by a handshake, you know, Michael, I want you to know this has nothing to do with your Twitter account or of the publicity you're getting. I said, oh.

Speaker 110 And sure. Sure.

Speaker 115 And then he said, just after that. Wait, hang on, before this.

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 15 You are a well-liked professor. Well-liked.

Speaker 110 I was well-liked.

Speaker 114 Students love me. My student, you know, evaluations are very high.
I mean, I have done everything you're supposed to do.

Speaker 43 You were liked by your peers.

Speaker 114 Most of my colleagues liked me.

Speaker 110 Okay. There was a few that didn't.

Speaker 114 That's fine. It's always going to happen.
And I had done everything that an academic is supposed to do, published widely, committee work, all that stuff.

Speaker 114 I was a good citizen.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 114 I said the wrong thing.

Speaker 110 Right.

Speaker 51 And then he said, no,

Speaker 115 have a seat.

Speaker 114 And if you don't mind, I would like the head of human resources to join us.

Speaker 2 Uh-oh.

Speaker 2 But this has nothing to do with what you, we just need to have a talk.

Speaker 17 Turns out that

Speaker 42 he is presented with a choice.

Speaker 48 We're very concerned about you.

Speaker 42 We think these tweets, and this has nothing to do with the tweets, but we think these tweets are a cry for help.

Speaker 91 And your coworkers are beginning to be concerned about your mental health.

Speaker 72 So

Speaker 15 we could either either deal with this publicly and fire you, or you could just take a medical leave of absence.

Speaker 50 So basically

Speaker 120 agree with them that he's going crazy.

Speaker 42 Here he is on why it was important to talk about this.

Speaker 82 Cut three.

Speaker 114 I said this from the beginning when Trump got into office or before he got into office even. Oh, I guess it was after when he founded the resistance.

Speaker 114 I said the resistance would be far worse than Trump, and I think that's been the case. I mean, the resistance is really unhinged, and it's fueled by all kinds of

Speaker 20 ideological error, I think.

Speaker 114 And it's fueled by a conviction, an absolute conviction of total moral certainty.

Speaker 20 And that's what's scary.

Speaker 63 When people believe they're absolutely morally superior and certain, and they're absolutely right, they become like Antifa.

Speaker 2 Well,

Speaker 23 it is why totalitarianism always ends in massive death.

Speaker 113 Bloodshed.

Speaker 12 Because if

Speaker 119 you get to a point, I've asked this question from the left and the right.

Speaker 23 Just let's imagine tomorrow you have your way and everybody you've elected is in and every all of them. You still have 50% of the country that doesn't agree with you.

Speaker 20 That's right.

Speaker 6 What are you going to do with them?

Speaker 114 Well, even, you know, this is most Marxists won't won't admit this, but Marx himself said you have to kill them.

Speaker 4 There has to be a terror.

Speaker 114 And they got this idea of the terror from, of course, the French Revolution and the aftermath.

Speaker 114 You know, they said that that is the model. After a revolution, you must go on a terror spree.

Speaker 114 You must get rid of ideological opponents and you must get rid of the bourgeoisie if they cling to their bourgeoisie character. Otherwise, you know, if they're willing to convert, then fine.

Speaker 114 But people

Speaker 114 are killed for having the wrong thoughts.

Speaker 114 That's basically what it comes down to.

Speaker 3 Now, this is a guy who claimed just a few years ago to be a communist.

Speaker 6 And

Speaker 107 you will understand it in this conversation that we have with him this weekend.

Speaker 101 His communism was

Speaker 5 more theoretical, I think.

Speaker 13 It was more, you know,

Speaker 84 next time we can do it right.

Speaker 5 You know, that's what you always hear. Well, they did it wrong.

Speaker 102 Next time we'll do it right.

Speaker 64 But it was, so it was theoretical.

Speaker 48 He believes in, you know, sharing and all of the stuff, the utopian stuff.

Speaker 9 That's all good.

Speaker 20 It's all good.

Speaker 84 But when he started to see how people are being shut down, how you're being isolated, how you're being chased out of the square, how you're being fired, what names you're being called, he realized they're going to kill.

Speaker 101 This is the way communism always begins.

Speaker 97 It starts nice and then it goes wrong.

Speaker 3 And he started to see the very first

Speaker 15 signs of this going wrong.

Speaker 107 It's no longer, hey, you know, we should be nice to each other.

Speaker 111 We shouldn't, we should say handy capable instead of handicapped because it makes people feel good.

Speaker 87 Now it is shove and the next step is shoot.

Speaker 33 If you don't do it,

Speaker 86 they're shoving people now.

Speaker 23 You will do this

Speaker 42 and we'll shove you into that position.

Speaker 86 And if not, we'll banish you from society.

Speaker 37 Well, the only thing left after that is shoot.

Speaker 90 And he saw that happening.

Speaker 81 And I asked him, you know, these are all...

Speaker 23 intelligent people.

Speaker 7 How do these intelligent people start using these postmodern tactics here's what he told me one of the main things that has been inaugurated by the left is cultural relativism

Speaker 114 and cultural relativism also brings with it a moral relativism but the main thing about cultural relativism is that you can't from your from your culture you're not allowed to criticize people of another culture because you're ins you're you're suggesting that your culture is better than theirs and that's

Speaker 118 so when i meet i and this actually happened i met met, I asked for a meeting with people of GLAAD.

Speaker 15 This is when the height of

Speaker 5 Ahmadinejad throwing people off the building, you know, gay people off the building, torturing them, killing them.

Speaker 7 Russia is starting to take driver's license away and absconding people at night and they're never seen again because they're homosexual.

Speaker 85 You can say, well, their culture is different, so I can't comment.

Speaker 27 But we all know

Speaker 51 killing someone because they're homosexual is a no-go zone.

Speaker 86 How come they won't make that step?

Speaker 114 Well, there's another aspect to it. Not just the relativism.
The other thing is the enemy of my enemy is my friend. And

Speaker 114 they are the enemy of

Speaker 114 Western civilization.

Speaker 20 All right.

Speaker 42 So intersectionality is how many times, that's why.

Speaker 119 Basically,

Speaker 114 how many power vectors are intersecting you and subordinating you?

Speaker 7 And does that give you the hierarchy?

Speaker 114 Once you have more vectors, the lower you are, the higher you are.

Speaker 114 This is why there's a race to the bottom in the oppression Olympics, as it's called, rather derogatorily. You want to rush to the bottom because by the time you get there, you're going to be on top.

Speaker 7 This is a fascinating conversation, and it is

Speaker 41 part of the message.

Speaker 7 of the book that came out yesterday, Addicted to Outrage.

Speaker 7 This is an in-depth explanation

Speaker 27 by somebody who has lived it and taught it.

Speaker 57 And it's what gives me hope that things can change because a guy who was a published communist can come out and say, okay, wait a minute, wait a minute.

Speaker 14 This is going off the rails right now.

Speaker 42 And they are doing everything they can to destroy this guy.

Speaker 3 You need to hear his voice.

Speaker 55 You need to hear

Speaker 57 what he can teach us.

Speaker 119 Because there's so much of this postmodern nonsense that our kids know.

Speaker 20 If you send your kid to college and they're coming home, they're coming home with a different language.

Speaker 102 They're coming home with

Speaker 29 ways and knowledge and a mission to deconstruct everything.

Speaker 48 And if you can't speak that language, if you don't know what those words are or mean,

Speaker 106 everything changes.

Speaker 97 You now look outdated.

Speaker 91 You now look like old mom and dad that just don't get it.

Speaker 94 And more importantly, I think we have to address this with our kids before we send them even to high school.

Speaker 20 Because it's all being taught.

Speaker 48 And they need to be aware of it and have the ammunition to fight against it before they encounter it.

Speaker 8 You think they're lost?

Speaker 9 We're just as lost.

Speaker 30 Begin your journey to

Speaker 99 being able to fight this problem.

Speaker 100 Addicted to outrage, available in bookstores everywhere.

Speaker 7 And Stu is, I mean, he's a, I mean, he loves to buy real estate.

Speaker 20 He just loves it.

Speaker 2 Oh, huge fan.

Speaker 76 Huge fan. I actually don't like to buy real estate because,

Speaker 76 you know, but it's something that we all have to do i i don't like being locked down i mean i want to i want to keep the option of running away from you on the table at any moment and it's like a moment's notice i just want to be able to drop everything and get out you bought your first house since we've been working together for for 20 years you you you finally say okay i'm going to settle down i so want to fire you now just just to just for that just the torture just to prove you shouldn't have bought a house dude so this has been like a long time sleeper sell thing this has lured me into a good relationship for 20 years it is.

Speaker 123 Glenn back.

Speaker 7 Bill Gates says, my biggest fear is about what's coming next for this world.

Speaker 90 When asked about the challenges of global health security, what he fears most, he says,

Speaker 7 what is known as disease X, the next unknown disease.

Speaker 45 We are not fully prepared for the next global pandemic, the threat of the unknown pathogen, highly contagious, lethal, fast-moving.

Speaker 93 It is real.

Speaker 90 It could be a mutated flu strain or something else entirely, but we are not prepared.

Speaker 42 Okay, yesterday, the president took action to strengthen the nation's defenses against biological threats.

Speaker 85 For the first time in history, he says the federal government has a national biodefense strategy to address the full range of biological threats.

Speaker 7 You won't see anybody connect these two stories because you're never going to see Bill Gates saying, okay, good, a positive step from this administration.

Speaker 24 Is there truth or only outrage?

Speaker 2 We'll prove the point

Speaker 36 and show you how to fight against it next.

Speaker 125 Glenn Back is coming live to talk about the right path forward and to make fun of the people standing in the way. He might not be able to save the country, but at least we can all go down laughing.

Speaker 125 Glenn Backed Live, the Addicted to Outrage tour.

Speaker 43 On tour this fall.

Speaker 43 Glenn back.

Speaker 60 Okay, this is the point where the Brett Kavanaugh saga becomes absolutely toxic.

Speaker 42 The Kavanaugh situation couldn't be any more flammable as it is, yet Senator Dianne Feinstein pulls out a flamethrower.

Speaker 69 Hey, everybody, look what I just got from Elon Musk.

Speaker 25 It is the favorite playground of outraged junkies.

Speaker 42 She says Republicans are trying to block an FBI investigation into the allegation of the California College professor Christine Ford that Kavanaugh has been accused of sexually assaulting at a high school party in 1982.

Speaker 42 Remember, her deal is we are trying to block an FBI investigation.

Speaker 42 Now, as a 126-year veteran of the U.S.

Speaker 87 Senate, you would think that Feinstein would know the kinds of things that the FBI can investigate.

Speaker 6 But apparently, you'd be wrong.

Speaker 30 Apparently, she and many of her fellow Democrats don't know,

Speaker 100 perhaps they forgot,

Speaker 13 or they have such little

Speaker 32 respect for the American people that they think, You just don't know because you're just a bunch of hayseed hicks that just don't know what the FBI does.

Speaker 49 You You hear FBI and you're like, oh, they investigate everything.

Speaker 31 The feds do not, they're not in the habit of looking into suburban high school parties that happened in the 1980s.

Speaker 37 Really?

Speaker 23 Wait a minute, Cletus.

Speaker 2 What?

Speaker 31 To explain to America's lawmakers what the FBI does,

Speaker 13 the Justice Department had to issue a statement.

Speaker 47 It says, the FBI does not make any judgment about the credibility or significance of any allegation.

Speaker 123 The purpose of a background investigation is to determine whether the nominee could pose a risk to the national security of the United States.

Speaker 20 This allegation does not involve any potential federal crime.

Speaker 87 So, the Democrats were hoping for this epic, you know, Mueller-length investigation, risky business gate.

Speaker 68 Smart hiccups will appear.

Speaker 61 Unfortunately, they have to settle now for some testimony from Kavanaugh and Ford, which is scheduled for Monday.

Speaker 42 That is, if Christine Ford even agrees to show up.

Speaker 60 Late yesterday, her lawyers submitted a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee requesting that law enforcement do a full investigation before anyone testifies.

Speaker 109 Oh, so we could delay some more.

Speaker 36 Democrats turned Kavanaugh's Senate Judiciary Committee hearing into an embarrassing circus of sad clown activists.

Speaker 4 Imagine what they might have up their sleeve or on their nose on Monday's testimony.

Speaker 60 The left is already billing this as a sequel to the 1991 Anita Hill-Clarence Thomas fiasco.

Speaker 36 Anita Hill herself wrote in the New York Times yesterday that the committee has a chance to do better by the country than it did three decades ago.

Speaker 114 You got to be kidding me.

Speaker 5 Does anybody even know the Clarence Thomas Anita Hill story anymore?

Speaker 17 Apparently not.

Speaker 49 But here's the good news.

Speaker 25 If there's one thing we've learned from Hollywood, it's that sequels made 30 years after the original usually really suck.

Speaker 1 It's Wednesday, September 19th.

Speaker 76 You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 76 It's a big point you're going to see online today and people trying trying to make on Kavanaugh in that Clarence Thomas had to deal with an FBI investigation when it came to Anita Hill.

Speaker 76 And that shows that there should be an FBI investigation.

Speaker 76 I think there was an important thing that happened yesterday, which was the Kavanaugh thing turned from a Hail Mary, let's stop Kavanaugh at all costs for the Democrats to a effort of let's just get a talking point for this election.

Speaker 76 I think because when you find out that she's not even going to show up up to testify now,

Speaker 76 what you're getting now, they're just trying at this point to say to the people, they wouldn't even stop for an investigation.

Speaker 76 They just jammed this thad guy through before we could even look into him. Do you believe this? This is who the Republicans are.
Vote for us. We're Democrats.

Speaker 76 I don't even, at this point, I think they don't even think they have a chance to stop it. We could see some more theatric.
She could show up in the courtroom on the day of the vote.

Speaker 76 Who knows what's going to happen? But I think that's important. And when it comes down to

Speaker 76 the point point you're going to see online today, Clarence Thomas did have an FBI investigation. The reason for that is because Anita Hill was a federal employee.

Speaker 76 The FBI has jurisdiction over these cases. They do not have jurisdiction over high school cases

Speaker 76 in Maryland in 1982. That's not what this is about.
Anita Hill was a current federal employee. It happened during work at a federal office, allegedly.

Speaker 76 So that was why the FBI was involved in that. It has nothing to do with what I think it was Charles Cook who was at it.

Speaker 25 The FBI is not just like the super secret police that you call when you really want them.

Speaker 76 They have a jurisdiction just like everybody else. And Anita Hill was covered under that jurisdiction.
And this new case with Kavanaugh is not. It's just a ploy to delay this.

Speaker 76 And at first it was a Hail Mary. I think now they realize that the bluff has been called.

Speaker 76 And you're seeing now, without her showing up, this should advance, but they'll still use it as a talking point in the election to try to show how evil Republicans are.

Speaker 5 You know, what's incredible

Speaker 67 to me is

Speaker 118 the way this all is being positioned.

Speaker 7 It looks as though she's just not going to,

Speaker 7 she's a poor victim.

Speaker 14 And I want you to know there's a chance that this is true.

Speaker 85 There's a chance this isn't true.

Speaker 4 I think there's a much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much greater chance that it isn't true because the preponderance of evidence is astounding

Speaker 101 because there is no preponderance of evidence.

Speaker 58 There is no evidence. There's nothing.

Speaker 20 There's one word of one person against another person.

Speaker 2 That's it.

Speaker 47 And so there's a very good chance this did not happen.

Speaker 57 But she's being

Speaker 42 viewed and portrayed as somebody who, well, would you blame her for not going up

Speaker 42 to the Senate to testify?

Speaker 2 Well, no.

Speaker 7 Because, you know, anybody's going to be torn apart.

Speaker 43 We know that because look what they're doing to Brett Kavanaugh.

Speaker 13 So you're going to be torn apart.

Speaker 2 But

Speaker 30 there is another viewpoint worthy of consideration, and that is,

Speaker 15 Stu,

Speaker 100 remember when I was saying, oh, I want to testify.

Speaker 61 Remember they were talking about, you know, me testifying in front of Congress years ago?

Speaker 79 And I was like, oh, yes.

Speaker 76 Yeah, I believe the person who was threatening you with that was Anthony Wiener.

Speaker 20 Right. And I was like, oh, yeah.

Speaker 52 Unleash me on the wiener.

Speaker 20 Oh, please pull that audio, Sarah.

Speaker 2 Thank you.

Speaker 76 I assume you've already done it, but please, we'll need that for future reference.

Speaker 2 Do you remember that?

Speaker 31 Why did we say no?

Speaker 25 Why did all of the advisors say, don't stop, shut up?

Speaker 76 Well, it's a perjury trap. Usually,

Speaker 76 they're doing something to get you to, you know, to embarrass yourself or blow the case or say something, misremember something.

Speaker 119 They can get you on anything.

Speaker 13 And that's it. Perjure yourself in front of Congress.

Speaker 54 It used used to be a big deal.

Speaker 42 I'm not sure it is anymore for Democrats, but it used to be a big deal.

Speaker 76 And slightly different situation, but this was essentially Woodward's case in his book about Trump.

Speaker 76 Trump wanted to testify, wanted to go in front of Mueller, wanted to be interviewed, and his lawyers kept saying, they're just setting a trap for you.

Speaker 76 Because Trump was like, I didn't do this. I want to go and I don't want the American people to see me as someone who was too scared to testify.

Speaker 76 And Dowd and his other attorneys, Ty Cobb, they said, look,

Speaker 2 you're looking at this completely wrong.

Speaker 76 This is their opportunity to catch you doing something new. This is not an opportunity for you to prove your innocence.

Speaker 76 This is a chance for them to create a new crime in which you will be in trouble for. Correct.
And so, and

Speaker 42 that's the way it works with dishonest law enforcement.

Speaker 120 That is also the way it works with Congress, which is a political body.

Speaker 39 If this woman is smart, she is talking to her attorneys and they're saying at least this.

Speaker 43 Okay, I believe you.

Speaker 119 But you have no facts.

Speaker 7 You don't know where it was. You don't really know who was in the room.

Speaker 97 You don't know how you got there.

Speaker 86 You have nothing.

Speaker 7 If you get on and suddenly remember something that isn't exactly right or gone against what you've already said, you can perjure yourself and don't think the Republicans won't nail you for perjury.

Speaker 47 Okay, that's the best case scenario from an attorney that says, I believe you 100%.

Speaker 120 So any attorney is saying, don't do this.

Speaker 25 But with as sketchy as this story is,

Speaker 22 most likely it's kind of the Perry Mason thing.

Speaker 33 Look, I can't defend you if you don't tell me the truth.

Speaker 5 You know, it's one of those things where

Speaker 13 the attorney I'm guessing looks at this and says, there's nothing here.

Speaker 88 Now, maybe you believe it, but there is nothing here.

Speaker 15 So they're going to ask you questions.

Speaker 28 You're going to respond.

Speaker 33 If you respond, you could go to jail.

Speaker 15 If she knows that this isn't true, if this is a political circus, purely political, it didn't happen.

Speaker 77 Would you testify?

Speaker 76 No, of course. I mean, you've done your job in that circumstance.

Speaker 43 And look, I don't know that I do believe it's purely political.

Speaker 17 I do too.

Speaker 76 Now, whether it's it's true or not, I mean, I don't think it is. I honestly am, I'm 95% no, but again, I wasn't there.
We don't know.

Speaker 111 If this same thing was happening to Elena Kagan, I would have said exactly the same thing.

Speaker 46 It's just too suspicious. It's too suspicious.

Speaker 76 But again, if you are going to be a person who, after 36 years, is going to come forward with a claim that has zero support of evidence, the only thing we have is his word against yours.

Speaker 13 And it's a terrible way to decide this.

Speaker 76 But if you're going to do that, you have to at least supply your word. You have to believe.
If this is going to do anything,

Speaker 76 you have to show up to this thing and tell your story.

Speaker 76 It's a terrible way to run a country to have 30 multiple, you know, 36 years later, have two people go on stage and do a little performance art, and we all have to figure out which one we like more.

Speaker 76 That's a terrible way to run a legal system.

Speaker 7 No, it's impossible.

Speaker 18 But you have to at least provide that part of it if it's going to do anything at all.

Speaker 7 You know, what's amazing is how the Democrats now are saying they want to make sure that innocent people aren't going to jail.

Speaker 29 There are so many people in jail, so many people have been wrongly accused that have gone through our system.

Speaker 2 So

Speaker 102 they're making this case now, and I think rightfully so.

Speaker 19 I mean, I think there are people on the right and the left that agree with that.

Speaker 69 They went through the system.

Speaker 60 So at the same time they're arguing that, they're saying, oh, by the way, we shouldn't even have the system.

Speaker 42 We should, you know, let's have the FBI do something that they don't do.

Speaker 50 And let's just bring these people up and let's see which one performs better.

Speaker 5 Let's see which one's believable, which one's not.

Speaker 23 And let's convict a man, whether he goes to jail, he's not going to jail. Let's convict him.

Speaker 69 Let's all call him a rapist, even though that's not even the charge.

Speaker 5 Does anybody remember what the charge was of Anita Hill against Clarence Thomas?

Speaker 3 What did she charge?

Speaker 94 More in a second.

Speaker 2 Glenn Beck.

Speaker 2 All right.

Speaker 68 What does the average person know about Anita Hill, this champion for all women, and Clarence Thomas?

Speaker 87 I contend that they don't know anything about it and that they look at Clarence Thomas through the lens of today.

Speaker 68 They're like, oh, he's Harvey Weinstein.

Speaker 6 He was, you know, hitting on women and everything. Okay.

Speaker 100 All right.

Speaker 33 The charge was that he made inappropriate jokes to Anita Hill.

Speaker 93 She was the only one.

Speaker 19 Now, this was the scandal in the 1980s.

Speaker 68 This was the scandal.

Speaker 87 And it's the 1980s, not today.

Speaker 37 It's the 1980s. It's practically madmen time,

Speaker 37 okay?

Speaker 47 When nobody had a problem making inappropriate jokes.

Speaker 30 I don't think Clarence Thomas is that man.

Speaker 23 Clarence Thomas, there is nothing in his life that shows that he's that kind of guy.

Speaker 94 But the thing was, you know, a piece of his hair was on a Coke can,

Speaker 87 and

Speaker 7 he apparently said, Yeah, that's the pubic hair.

Speaker 2 Oh, the humanity.

Speaker 86 Okay, that was how shocking, how shocked we were back then.

Speaker 10 That was it.

Speaker 84 Now, here is what Clarence Thomas said to defend himself in that hearing.

Speaker 127 Listen. I think that this today

Speaker 127 is a travesty.

Speaker 127 I think that it is disgusting.

Speaker 20 I think that this hearing

Speaker 127 should never occur in America.

Speaker 127 This is a case in which this sleaze,

Speaker 127 this dirt, was searched for by staffers of members of this committee,

Speaker 127 was then leaked to the media,

Speaker 127 and this committee and this body

Speaker 127 validated it

Speaker 127 and displayed it at prime time

Speaker 127 over our entire nation.

Speaker 127 How would any member on this committee, any person in this room, or any person in this country would like slea said about him or her in this fashion

Speaker 127 or this dirt dredged up in this gossip and these lies displayed in this manner? How would any person like it?

Speaker 127 The Supreme Court is not worth it.

Speaker 127 No job is worth it.

Speaker 127 I'm not here for that. I'm here for my name, my family, my life, and my integrity.

Speaker 127 I think something is dreadfully wrong with this country when any person,

Speaker 127 any person in this free country would be subjected to this. This is not a closed room.

Speaker 127 There was an FBI investigation.

Speaker 127 This is not an opportunity to talk about difficult

Speaker 127 matters privately or in a closed environment. This is a circus.
It's a national disgrace.

Speaker 7 That was 1991.

Speaker 5 Could have said it today.

Speaker 34 The same people, the same tactics.

Speaker 101 Is this who we want to be?

Speaker 37 Is this the way to get

Speaker 77 good people

Speaker 44 to accept a nomination to the Supreme Court?

Speaker 22 Somebody asks you, you want to be on the Supreme Court?

Speaker 86 You have anything in your life, anything.

Speaker 11 No, you're Jesus.

Speaker 96 Tell me the difference between the trial of Jesus and what they're putting people through.

Speaker 25 in Washington, D.C.

Speaker 37 They can say anything.

Speaker 37 Why didn't Jesus answer?

Speaker 53 I knew it was going to be turned around on him anyway.

Speaker 51 His answer didn't matter.

Speaker 7 Well, you say that I am.

Speaker 46 You want to be the sacrificial lamb?

Speaker 86 You want to be the person that your children will read about, your grandchildren will read about?

Speaker 41 That you were a sexual predator?

Speaker 47 And there was nothing.

Speaker 120 The winners are the progressives when it comes to the universities.

Speaker 37 They are rewriting history right now.

Speaker 17 They're the ones that are going to write this history.

Speaker 25 Brett Kavanaugh will be known by his great-grandchildren long after he's dead, whenever they look him up as a sexual predator.

Speaker 17 You want that?

Speaker 31 And this coming from the same group of people.

Speaker 88 I mean, I'm telling you, we are

Speaker 94 at a point

Speaker 37 where somebody with decency is going to stand up and say, Senator, have you no shame?

Speaker 37 These are the people using the same tactics that they did during the McCarthy hearings.

Speaker 49 These people have a lower approval rating than Ghana.

Speaker 70 5%

Speaker 59 more of the population

Speaker 24 think that we never went to the moon

Speaker 93 than think these guys are good.

Speaker 20 All right.

Speaker 47 I want to give you an update.

Speaker 7 Yesterday we talked a little bit about the Solar Spot Observatory that had been closed down.

Speaker 7 If you're not familiar with the story, in a nutshell, it's a story about how

Speaker 7 this national observatory that is right by White Plains, very, very isolated, had a black helicopter show up and the FBI, and they raided the place.

Speaker 59 Now, nobody knows why.

Speaker 7 And they said, everybody's got to get out.

Speaker 93 Some of the people called in and called the sheriff and said, hey, can you please come and just witness this?

Speaker 42 Because we don't really know what's going on.

Speaker 31 No explanation was given.

Speaker 27 Then...

Speaker 47 We find out later that they've evacuated this whole area, including the neighborhoods around it people who just lived in the area they were asked to leave

Speaker 88 now there was you know well it's solar activity we're all gonna die or oh that's because they spotted aliens and the government's covering up okay i don't believe either of those it just doesn't it doesn't work

Speaker 94 why did the fbi raid this place

Speaker 97 when they should be looking into high school you know rapists.

Speaker 88 Why did the FBI raid this place?

Speaker 28 And how was a black helicopter involved?

Speaker 18 You don't just, you know, it's just like, hey, Bill, can I take the black helicopter for this?

Speaker 17 No.

Speaker 97 That's not a tool of the FBI.

Speaker 86 That's military.

Speaker 85 So why was the black helicopter involved?

Speaker 5 Okay, so yesterday they come out with a story and they say, hey, it was just that, you know, there was a guy up there doing some really bad things and it put a lot of people in danger.

Speaker 123 And we wanted to make sure that they didn't find out about it.

Speaker 5 That's why we haven't released the information.

Speaker 20 Well, wait a minute. What do you mean you

Speaker 87 didn't want them to find out about it?

Speaker 2 You have a black helicopter.

Speaker 112 If I'm doing something bad, and the FBI shows up and a black helicopter, I think I'm pretty clear they might be on to me.

Speaker 28 Unless the black helicopter and the FBI are coming after a lot of different people.

Speaker 47 If I'm surrounded by a lot, you know, if I'm in a prison and we're all trying to escape, maybe I don't think that's about me.

Speaker 17 But if I'm with scientists and I'm doing something illegal and involves national security, I'm pretty sure they're onto me.

Speaker 101 So it just didn't make sense.

Speaker 85 So a Silicon Valley friend of mine

Speaker 99 writes to me last night.

Speaker 40 He's a, he's a, he's a tech type.

Speaker 48 Very, very smart.

Speaker 14 He says, Glenn, I want to give you my observation on this story.

Speaker 4 He said, I want to make it clear, this is just a guess, but here's how all the pieces fit together, at least in my head.

Speaker 94 Someone, maybe China or Russia, was using this observatory to pick up a signal with the help of someone at the observatory.

Speaker 49 You can't smuggle that out on a thumb drive.

Speaker 61 It's too slow and inefficient.

Speaker 42 You can't send it out on their internet pipe because it would be discovered in a second.

Speaker 25 You can't send it out on cellular because that would get picked up too but what you could do is a short local hop that can't get detected outside of the area to somewhere very very secluded and private then that person can send it out on a VPN wherever they want

Speaker 87 now remember the story is is that the FBI they came they shut everything down and then they started climbing up on the antennas

Speaker 87 So what are they looking for on the antennas?

Speaker 17 This scenario makes sense that someone was taking information and transmitting it out on a very, very low power, almost like a Bluetooth thing in a way, sending out very low power, which it would leave the compound of the observatory, but then go to some house in the general area.

Speaker 41 Well, now that explains why they would get rid of everybody in the houses.

Speaker 26 And it explains the black helicopters.

Speaker 36 if you think this through they shut it down they want to see what was connected to the antenna or how this person was getting you know getting the information out then you you shut down the entire neighborhood and you keep everybody out until you've checked to see if there's a receiver in the area

Speaker 31 You want to make sure that somebody doesn't stay behind and destroy the receiver.

Speaker 15 So why the black hawk?

Speaker 24 Because the black hawk was doing patterns over the neighborhood.

Speaker 55 Is it possible they were looking with infrared to check for people staying behind?

Speaker 84 This one actually makes sense to me.

Speaker 17 What actually

Speaker 2 happened?

Speaker 97 We don't know.

Speaker 99 Who's responsible at this point?

Speaker 42 We don't know.

Speaker 92 But

Speaker 67 at least this theory is beginning to make sense.

Speaker 93 So I don't know if you've seen, but

Speaker 7 while Maduro, the president of Venezuela,

Speaker 7 was having dinner the other day, he solved the economic problems of Venezuela. Now, he was out having a steak.

Speaker 39 This steak cost him $235.

Speaker 26 Now, that's not because of inflation.

Speaker 48 Those are American dollars.

Speaker 58 He paid $234 American dollars for a steak for him in a restaurant.

Speaker 76 I think I know what you're saying. You're saying, good for him.

Speaker 76 Take a moment after your incredible leadership and rise from a normal, everyday bus driver to these heights of leading this incredible, glorious socialist revolution. Reward yourself.

Speaker 78 People are literally eating doctors, lawyers.

Speaker 76 Wait, they're eating doctors and lawyers.

Speaker 18 No, no. Doctors and lawyers.

Speaker 106 People who are very successful and wealthy are having one meal a day, and many people are eating cats, dogs.

Speaker 47 They've already eaten the animals in the zoo, and they're down to now rats that the people are eating.

Speaker 76 Huge amounts of people have left as well,

Speaker 45 millions, many of them doctors and lawyers

Speaker 60 going to other islands and becoming sex workers.

Speaker 76 Hundreds of thousands, by the way, have come to the United States in this process as well. Hundreds of thousands of

Speaker 76 Venezuelans escaping that regime have come here. And they've come from, they've gone all over the hemisphere, really.

Speaker 76 And it's terrifying. And it's so amazing to look at how far we've come so fast.
It is not that long ago that people like Sean Penn were visiting and praising

Speaker 76 Hugo Chavez,

Speaker 76 Danny Glover,

Speaker 76 Michael Moore, these people who were telling us that this was the future and that

Speaker 46 our experiment was

Speaker 76 failing compared to theirs. And it was a very common conception.
I think we have a montage.

Speaker 76 This one came from Mike Sarah, I think, audio montage about some of the comments from Venezuela from a few years back. Listen to some of these.

Speaker 128 Venezuelans head to the polls this Sunday, and President Hugo Chavez is almost certain to win re-election. He's apparently as popular at home as he is unpopular with so many people in this country.

Speaker 129 He's made Venezuelans feel proud to be Venezuelan again. And that is something I think that

Speaker 129 really no other leader has ever done in that country before. In fact, they were doing the opposite.

Speaker 130 Here we go in Venezuela. In 2002, we were much, if we had succeeded in Iraq, I do believe that Mr.

Speaker 131 Chavez would have been under even more pressure.

Speaker 132 It's the most colorful media.

Speaker 132 You can say anything you want in Venezuela. They have a better election process than we have.

Speaker 133 Paul Fugo Chavez is a thorn in the side of the U.S., but polls in Venezuela show that that's going to continue.

Speaker 132 He is one of the most important forces we've had on this planet. And I will wish him nothing but that great strength he has shown over and over again.
I do it in love, and I do it in gratitude.

Speaker 133 My friend, President Chavez made headlines when he stood before the United Nations and called President Bush the devil.

Speaker 133 I didn't plan to call him a devil, but it came from my heart.

Speaker 128 And if it comes from my heart, then that's because for me, it's true.

Speaker 134 Well, no one else is Hugo Chavez. There's not two Hugo Chavezes in the world, never mind in Venezuela.

Speaker 2 Thank God.

Speaker 76 Now, remember,

Speaker 76 remember how much they loved that whole devil thing?

Speaker 20 They loved that.

Speaker 76 They loved that Bush was, it was, smelled of sulfur.

Speaker 76 Remember this?

Speaker 76 And, you know, people were making trips down there and praising this regime and the system behind it.

Speaker 13 That was only, you know, what, 10 years ago or less.

Speaker 76 Some of those quotes were even more recent than that.

Speaker 4 In fact, if you go back and you look at popular culture, you will see, as we will show you here, in the show Parks and Recreation,

Speaker 124 there was a whole episode that

Speaker 92 was

Speaker 28 building the economy of Venezuela up

Speaker 24 and denigrating us.

Speaker 76 The concept was, and it's a funny show, and it was a funny episode.

Speaker 76 But the concept was the Parks and Rec Department had the Parks and Rec Department from Venezuela, their sister city, some city in Venezuela, come visit them.

Speaker 76 And it was just one of these dumb government things. And it was interesting to see, because you saw

Speaker 76 the streams they went down with the comedy. They were militaristic.
They were chauvinistic. They were

Speaker 76 dismissive. But one of the big threads was how great it was in Venezuela as compared to the United States.

Speaker 76 They couldn't believe how bad it was in the United States because Venezuela was so good.

Speaker 39 Listen to this. This is only from a few years ago.

Speaker 76 This is, let's start with Venezuela doesn't have budget issues.

Speaker 76 Think of the state of affairs down there right now. This is how this was being portrayed to the American public just a few years ago.
Listen.

Speaker 135 I'm trying to turn a giant dirt pit into a community park, but I need $35,000.

Speaker 135 And the city doesn't have enough money in its budget.

Speaker 131 I do not understand.

Speaker 135 You've never had a budget shortage?

Speaker 99 That was Sparks' philosophy.

Speaker 131 Venezuela is blessed with massive oil reserves, massive and tremendous.

Speaker 110 I do not believe.

Speaker 131 The state sells the oil and keeps all the money, and

Speaker 110 we build whatever we want.

Speaker 1 Wow, well, now I do not understand.

Speaker 2 I feel like my English was very clear. Can I repeat? Venezuela, Venezuela, my country, has a lot of oil.

Speaker 110 Oil is food for cars.

Speaker 2 The Venezuelans are very confident people.

Speaker 76 So, again, like that they've never faced a budget crisis. They don't even understand it.

Speaker 41 Remember, Venezuela, when we were going through

Speaker 124 a heating oil crisis, Venezuela, through the Kennedys, if you remember right, were giving the United States free oil for

Speaker 7 poor communities in the Northeast.

Speaker 6 And it was all from Sitco.

Speaker 76 Kennedy was doing commercials

Speaker 76 for the Venezuelan government, basically, propaganda

Speaker 76 to say how much they were helping us.

Speaker 76 Here's another clip from Parks and Rec. This is when the delegate comes after their town called Pawnee.

Speaker 131 We are also sister cities with Kaesong, North Korea. Their town is far nicer.

Speaker 131 We haven't been here for a very long time, but what we have seen is really, from the bottom of our hearts, truly depressing.

Speaker 131 Really, really sad stuff. It's funny because Antonio said to me, can we turn this car around and say we're sick or something or that we lost our way? Of course, that would be rude to you.

Speaker 76 All right, and this is, they actually go to visit the park. Now, the concept of the show at the beginning is there's this big pit, dirt pit, and she wants to turn it into a park.

Speaker 76 So she brings the Venezuelan delegation not to the dirt pit, but to a very nice park in America.

Speaker 2 Here's that clip. Here we are.

Speaker 135 Take it in, boys.

Speaker 131 This is an embarrassment to America.

Speaker 115 I'm sorry?

Speaker 131 You are right to want to correct this.

Speaker 115 Correct what?

Speaker 131 This is the giant peel of dirt you were telling us about, is it not?

Speaker 131 The one you want to turn into a park?

Speaker 110 No, no.

Speaker 135 This is already a park. And it's one of our best-loved parks.

Speaker 114 Why are the the trees so small?

Speaker 2 They're not that small.

Speaker 135 Besides, size doesn't matter.

Speaker 113 Yes, it does.

Speaker 76 Our trees are huge.

Speaker 131 We build tunnels through them. The parks in Baraco are far superior.
The park in my hometown, Parque de Reste, we have a monorail and we have an aquarium.

Speaker 131 The Jaripa Amphitheater is huge. Lady Gaga played there last week.

Speaker 135 Great. Well, we don't have Lady Gaga.
And I don't think she's going to come here unless her career takes a very bad turn. But we have something more beautiful than Lady Gaga.

Speaker 115 Democracy.

Speaker 43 Right.

Speaker 2 Right.

Speaker 33 But let's make sure that everyone knows that the Marxism and the utopia, the socialist utopia that is Venezuela, is thriving while we are not.

Speaker 58 Until they're not.

Speaker 55 Just a few short later,

Speaker 24 a few short years later, and no one is being held

Speaker 7 accountable for their shower of praise for Hugo Chavez and the plan of bringing Venezuela into the leadership of the world.

Speaker 53 Sponsor this F-Hour, American Finance, as summer fades to fall, recent market shifts could bring home buyers a leg up on the latter part of the year.

Speaker 48 If you're still looking for a

Speaker 7 home, now is really the time to buy.

Speaker 7 The inventory of homes now has risen 5.7%, meaning there are more homes out there.

Speaker 29 And this slight change gives you, as a buyer,

Speaker 58 less competition.

Speaker 7 You know, and everybody's eager to get to the closing table before the holidays, so it's going to give a serious buyer more leverage.

Speaker 53 Now is the time to pick up the phone and call American Financing.

Speaker 7 If you're looking for a home, they have access to every loan in the industry and they can help you with even finding a down payment assistance.

Speaker 98 You know, we failed to mention the upside, as, you know, conservatives usually do.

Speaker 60 Only give you one side on Venezuela.

Speaker 5 I, you know, I told you about, you know, the Venezuelan people, you know, only eating one meal a day if they're lucky.

Speaker 7 Some people are eating animals and et cetera, et cetera.

Speaker 93 But they have fixed it.

Speaker 7 Maduro did fix this by raising the minimum wage.

Speaker 4 He raised it 3,000%.

Speaker 23 That fixes the problem.

Speaker 70 Also put 40% of all businesses out of business overnight.

Speaker 2 Back. Mercury.

Speaker 125 Glenn Beck is coming live to talk about the right path forward and to make fun of the people standing in the way. He might not be able to save the country, but at least we can all go down laughing.

Speaker 125 Glenn Beck Live, the Addicted to Outrage tour, on tour this fall.

Speaker 125 Glenn Back.

Speaker 49 You know, on yesterday's program, we told you about the algorithms now that can predict if you're white.

Speaker 32 And it was things like, you know, you buy English muffins and you own a flashlight, means you're white.

Speaker 94 If you don't have a pet, 60% chance you're white.

Speaker 63 So let me ask you this.

Speaker 64 Could we reverse this?

Speaker 25 If someone were to suggest that one segment of society might be more predisposed to speak loudly during a movie or frequent red lobster,

Speaker 17 would you be deemed racist?

Speaker 2 If so, what's the difference here?

Speaker 93 Does it do any good to ignore data and facts?

Speaker 14 Let's say I'm a business and I want to make a video and I want it to appeal to a broad swath of customers.

Speaker 44 Well, now I'm not going to show people making English muffins in a toaster, right?

Speaker 102 That's good to know.

Speaker 11 But is it okay to do this now?

Speaker 25 Could we ask the tech companies and academia, are we doing stereotypes now?

Speaker 31 Is there something that, you know, is there a newsletter that could be sent out every day that, you know, can keep me abreast on what's okay and what's not okay?

Speaker 31 Is it okay for Facebook to make money running ads to people who like English muffins?

Speaker 72 Or to sell ads just targeting males?

Speaker 60 Now, you're in business.

Speaker 42 You want to appeal to males because you know they buy your product. Or you're an employer and you want to target females because they're the most likely to do this job, is it okay to do that?

Speaker 55 Yesterday, ACLU filed a charge with the EEOC

Speaker 20 alleging that Facebook violated labor and civil rights laws by allowing employers to target ads to mostly younger men to the exclusion of mostly older women and of course that ever wonderful gender non-binary job seeker.

Speaker 13 So what was the ad?

Speaker 5 Well, one of them was an ad from a roofer, from a company called Enhanced Roofing and Remodeling, and it was targeted to men 23 to 50 in Silver Springs, Maryland.

Speaker 2 Okay?

Speaker 18 Now, if you're trying to hire a roofer,

Speaker 28 odds are, I mean, I'm sure there is the odd old lady that does want to get up on the roof and do roofing in the summer in Maryland.

Speaker 37 But should I be forced to advertise to try to find that one old lady that still wants to do roofing because it reminds her of her childhood?

Speaker 68 Or should I target the people with the money that I have

Speaker 37 that I believe and I generally know through data are the ones that are going to take that roofing job.

Speaker 6 If you work on an oil rig in the Yukon,

Speaker 5 can you tell me why I should have to pay to advertise to elderly old ladies?

Speaker 37 If I'm on Broadway and I need somebody to, you know,

Speaker 20 in the chorus line,

Speaker 69 should I...

Speaker 9 Should I be required to advertise to appeal to old elderly men?

Speaker 17 I mean, because I'm sure there's an old elderly man out there that wants to be in the chorus line.

Speaker 106 We've gone insane.

Speaker 106 We've gone insane.

Speaker 94 And all of this chaos is deconstruction.

Speaker 17 All of this is just to make it impossible for the Western way of life to actually function.

Speaker 7 What happens if we start if if you know

Speaker 18 if

Speaker 120 you do have to advertise to people that are not, generally speaking, interested in your product?

Speaker 23 Companies can't afford to advertise.

Speaker 72 Capitalism breaks down.

Speaker 49 And that is the goal.

Speaker 37 And so we get mad about it and we start because we don't know what else to do.

Speaker 74 Okay,

Speaker 47 all right, I shouldn't get mad about it,

Speaker 73 but somebody's got to stop it.

Speaker 124 You're exactly right.

Speaker 37 But by studying the enemy,

Speaker 71 and I mean the enemy being anyone who wants to destroy the Western way of life and the modern world, math, science, reason.

Speaker 25 Yes, they are the enemy.

Speaker 71 How do we identify them?

Speaker 102 What stops us from identifying?

Speaker 57 And what tactics do they use?

Speaker 30 That's where we begin this hour.

Speaker 1 It's Wednesday, September 19th.

Speaker 76 You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 2 Okay, so where did all of this

Speaker 12 where did all of this outrage come from

Speaker 84 because

Speaker 50 it's a it's it's it's truly a brilliant system that has flipped this thing upside down and made the conservatives look like the angry ones okay that we're the ones that have started this outrage no no no we're not

Speaker 69 because you have to look at what kind of outrage people are expressing every day.

Speaker 120 Just on today's program.

Speaker 123 We have talked about how many different stories, Stu, that are not outrageous, beginning with Bert and Ernie are gay.

Speaker 68 And Frank Oz, the guy who designed and created Bert and Ernie, saying, no, they're not.

Speaker 13 They're just good friends.

Speaker 31 They are two people that I put together, that I made out of felt, I want to remind you, that are like the odd couple.

Speaker 93 They're two people that don't agree, but it teaches kids that we can live together side by side.

Speaker 9 Well, that's not good enough. People were outraged yesterday when he said this.

Speaker 57 They must be gay.

Speaker 2 Wow.

Speaker 43 That seems pretty worthless.

Speaker 2 They're puppets.

Speaker 2 Is that real outrage?

Speaker 36 Is that coming from the left or from the right?

Speaker 2 well that's coming from the left right the outrage is coming from the left okay and so how do we respond

Speaker 76 usually either laughing very hard at them

Speaker 76 or you know getting a little angry at the way the world is turning into insanity okay

Speaker 18 how

Speaker 15 how effective has been laughing at them how effective has that been it feels good feels good how effective has it been it doesn't change a lot of minds no it doesn't change anything In fact, they don't care.

Speaker 23 They don't care.

Speaker 107 We, by us dismissing this and saying, you know, it's just a bunch of few crazies.

Speaker 42 Look at how a few crazies have changed the world.

Speaker 13 We just laugh and say they're pathetic. They're ridiculous.
There's just a few of them.

Speaker 25 And there are just a few of them.

Speaker 72 This is just a very powerful group of people, but it's very small.

Speaker 42 We laughed at them, we dismissed them, and look where we are now.

Speaker 93 So now we've been pushed to the wall and we get angry.

Speaker 23 But let's look at outrage here for a second.

Speaker 13 And this is part of the book that was released yesterday.

Speaker 5 I urge you to pick it up for you and a friend addicted to outrage.

Speaker 17 Let's just look at

Speaker 47 the three different or four different kinds of outrage.

Speaker 15 There are actually three.

Speaker 89 It leads to the fourth.

Speaker 55 Outrage that signals virtue.

Speaker 16 This is chapter three.

Speaker 86 One of the most effective ways to demonstrate one's own social value is by wearing the trappings of outrage on behalf of others, especially if the others are in a minority social group.

Speaker 61 The earlier you are and the more loudly you demonstrate that you're outraged, that some or another group has been wronged, the more virtue you demonstrate.

Speaker 12 Got it?

Speaker 2 If you want to build yourself up, if you want to be popular, all you have to do is signal virtue.

Speaker 88 and that requires you to be the leader and the most loudless the the most

Speaker 22 loud voice in the room

Speaker 95 next

Speaker 25 outrage as a shield

Speaker 3 another reason why it's effective is because It acts as a shield from judgment.

Speaker 37 If you are morally outraged, it

Speaker 87 as a mechanism to protect the purveyors of the outrage against any evaluation of their own actions, tactics, honesty, or morality.

Speaker 35 Now think of this.

Speaker 57 Use

Speaker 44 Brett Kavanaugh.

Speaker 42 The people who are outraged that the Republicans could just go on and dismiss this woman.

Speaker 72 They are so outraged that Brett Kavanaugh might or might not have done this.

Speaker 94 It stops any charges of saying, wait a minute,

Speaker 70 this is immoral what you're doing.

Speaker 52 Don't you talk to me about morality.

Speaker 31 I don't see you standing up for the woman, right?

Speaker 66 So it acts as a shield.

Speaker 20 If you are outraged,

Speaker 3 the outrage excuses you from having to tell the truth or or exhibiting any moral behavior.

Speaker 12 It just opens up the runway.

Speaker 13 Next, outrage as a weapon.

Speaker 94 Outrage is also an exceptional weapon that can pierce the armor of nearly any foe. It's like a bow with three magically tipped arrows, shame, guilt, and fear.

Speaker 13 Moral outrage expressed against opponents can strike them with any one or all three of these instruments at any given time.

Speaker 22 The instant that someone outside of your tribe slips up, says, or does something that you think has the slightest chance to work to your advantage, if you can paint them as insensitive, racist, politically incorrect, outdated, judgmental, insulting to a protected class or group, that person has opened up the opportunity to attack with a weapon that they cannot possibly resist.

Speaker 16 So, look at this again.

Speaker 17 What happened?

Speaker 55 Signaling virtue.

Speaker 2 Outrage one.

Speaker 23 I cannot believe.

Speaker 68 I cannot believe Brett Kavanaugh wants to take away birth control and he's a guy who has raped a woman.

Speaker 23 And if you don't see this, you are a bad human being.

Speaker 7 Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

Speaker 13 He's not going to take away birth control.

Speaker 37 Are you telling me that you're supporting the guy who you have no sympathy for this woman who has come to the table? You have no sympathy. You are so hard-hearted that you can't see her plight.

Speaker 13 That is

Speaker 4 shield

Speaker 102 from moral judgment.

Speaker 93 But it also is,

Speaker 38 I'm going to inflict fear into you.

Speaker 23 I'm going to drive fear deeply into you by shaming you, by guilting you, by calling you out.

Speaker 82 So now there's two targets.

Speaker 20 Now there is Brett Kavanaugh

Speaker 33 and you.

Speaker 33 And you can't do anything about it because they have the arrows of shame, guilt, and fear.

Speaker 23 And they have the shield. And they have already projected themselves to the world as the knight in shining armor.

Speaker 72 So

Speaker 23 first thing we have to do,

Speaker 13 before you look to dismantle it, you have to understand

Speaker 39 what happens to the person that is doing that.

Speaker 93 What happens to the person that is addicted to outrage in the way that I've just described?

Speaker 116 Now, see if this doesn't fit the way you look and understand or feel about the left.

Speaker 42 And I probably would assume that they feel this way about us.

Speaker 61 What happens to that person?

Speaker 40 Who are they after they've used all three of those tactics of outrage?

Speaker 119 I'll describe that person and tell me it's not spot on the money in a minute.

Speaker 23 July 2017, Bitcoin down 40%.

Speaker 45 Bitcoin and cryptocurrency expert Tika Tuari came in.

Speaker 42 He's with the Palm Beach letter.

Speaker 7 He came in with an announcement.

Speaker 111 He said, they're going to bring enormous amounts of money into Bitcoin. Now, Bitcoin was trading at about $1,850 and it was falling.

Speaker 36 And he said, Bitcoin's going to hit $10,000 by the end of the year.

Speaker 29 And people, it was nuts.

Speaker 28 We're in the middle of a horrific bear market.

Speaker 5 But by the end of the year, Bitcoin hit $20,000.

Speaker 37 Now, the same thing is happening again.

Speaker 93 Bitcoin

Speaker 61 has lost all this money.

Speaker 61 People are starting to say, well, I don't know if it matters.

Speaker 5 And he comes and says, Bitcoin could be worth $40,000 or more by Christmas.

Speaker 7 I don't see how this is going to happen, but he stands by it.

Speaker 52 He says there's a big jump coming, and he can lay out the reasons why.

Speaker 7 Well, you should probably know those reasons why, and you should know what it is. And even $100 in Bitcoin is a very smart thing because this is like,

Speaker 7 I don't know, I think it's bigger than AT ⁇ T 1920.

Speaker 40 You know,

Speaker 40 it's bigger bigger than that.

Speaker 14 This is bigger than almost investing in plastics in 1920 or 1930.

Speaker 92 Because

Speaker 7 cryptocurrency, I believe, is the future. Blockchain is the future.

Speaker 20 Well, what are those things?

Speaker 7 May I suggest you take a course? We asked Tika to develop a course just for you to explain these things.

Speaker 19 Everybody should take this course.

Speaker 89 It's smartcryptocourse.com.

Speaker 94 SmartcryptoCourse.com.

Speaker 14 Take it now or call 877-PBL Beck.

Speaker 4 877-PBL Beck or SmartCryptoCourse.com.

Speaker 2 All right.

Speaker 70 So

Speaker 21 outrage first signals virtue.

Speaker 27 Next, it shields that person from any moral judgment themselves and it provides the greatest weapon that can pierce anyone anyone who disagrees.

Speaker 94 But here's what it does to the person

Speaker 57 using outrage as this tool.

Speaker 63 Listen to this.

Speaker 27 This is from this is page 22 of addicted to outrage.

Speaker 91 By far the most destructive aspect of outrage addiction is that over time it tends to overtake and replace the addict's identity.

Speaker 45 They surrender the responsibility of developing a caring, rational human persona.

Speaker 15 Hallmarks of genuine and healthy human personalities tend to be smothered below a facade of impulsive, manic, emotional responses driven by the addiction.

Speaker 42 Rather than actual empathy for the misfortune or suffering of others, addicts respond with oversized and obnoxious levels of self-righteous indignation, always scattering blame against the alleged perpetrators of the crime, against some victims, or against humanity itself.

Speaker 7 Rather than quiet reasoned introspection, addicts instead make a grossly obvious grand spectacle of their sympathy and protestations that bespeaks their inner disquiet and self-loathing.

Speaker 23 Wrongdoers didn't simply make a mistake.

Speaker 65 They've acted in a sub-human manner and must be castigated from the tribe, fully and wholly shamed in the public square, ostracized from the group, and ultimately destroyed.

Speaker 6 Only this victory will fill the void, the hole that has been left in the moral outrage addict, the hole left by the absence of an actual human soul.

Speaker 92 This is why outrage addiction is so dangerous to our culture and to mankind.

Speaker 92 It deprives human beings of genuine humanity, replacing it instead with an outwardly facing caricature of the virtuous human being wrapped around a rotting corpse.

Speaker 83 Look, it's not that all outrageous wrong all the time.

Speaker 42 There are times, of course, when outrage is perfectly appropriate and reasonable as a response to actions we see in others.

Speaker 17 As with any addiction, the problem is not the chemical or the behavior itself of the addiction.

Speaker 44 America isn't having an opioid crisis because opioids are inherently bad or evil.

Speaker 19 It's the abuse and the involuntary need of the object of the addiction.

Speaker 86 The unhealthy dependence upon the thing in order to feel or to function.

Speaker 101 Expressing moral outrage has become the automatic compulsive response to anything that we see or hear that challenges our tribe's beliefs and instantly and automatically supports the outrage of others is even more important.

Speaker 37 That's the concerning thing.

Speaker 2 Moral outrage is simultaneously

Speaker 87 a badge of honor honor and a shield against any objective judgment.

Speaker 15 And that makes it destructive and divisive.

Speaker 71 Outrage addiction has replaced constructive dialogue and suppressed genuine empathy and warmness.

Speaker 7 It's no wonder suicide has become the 10th leading cause of death in America. Because we don't have any authentic conversations anymore.

Speaker 111 or express actual sympathy when others are suffering or being abused.

Speaker 7 We only express outrage instead.

Speaker 94 Find out the key and the cure, addicted to outrage, available everywhere now.

Speaker 76 Welcome to it.

Speaker 7 It is Wednesday.

Speaker 44 We're in Los Angeles, California, which is.

Speaker 76 Yeah, it's been interesting because

Speaker 76 we get up and get in the car, come to the studio, and it's been interesting to hear Mr. Egomaniac over here listen to his own voice, his own audio book, the the entire time on the way to work.

Speaker 70 You know, when you do 35 hours of work, it's kind of nice to listen to it to see how.

Speaker 20 You know what I found out?

Speaker 15 I found out. Oh, this drives me crazy.

Speaker 61 And it's your fault that I'm mentioning it now.

Speaker 69 I found out they've edited stuff out of my own book because they

Speaker 76 did not edit

Speaker 76 stuff out of your book.

Speaker 2 No,

Speaker 6 they edited me,

Speaker 2 me being me.

Speaker 25 They edited you singing

Speaker 20 out of the audiobook is what they said.

Speaker 5 There's at one point I'm talking about, you know, Liederhosen and singing Edelweiss.

Speaker 36 And I said, so you know, I dress up, you know, in Liederhosen and I sing Edelweiss,

Speaker 2 Edelweiss,

Speaker 94 which makes it kind of humorous.

Speaker 94 The producers in New York, can you do that again and not sing?

Speaker 95 No.

Speaker 40 Well, we need you to recut it.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 37 So I dress up in

Speaker 2 Liederhosen and I sing Adelweiss.

Speaker 96 They cut that line out of the book.

Speaker 69 It's written in the book.

Speaker 37 It's not in the audiobook.

Speaker 71 It's really, it hacks me off.

Speaker 17 It hacks me off.

Speaker 37 And I know it's the only line because that's the only line in the book they just couldn't handle for some reason or another.

Speaker 76 Is it possible they did not like your singing voice?

Speaker 2 Is that a consideration?

Speaker 20 I don't know.

Speaker 81 But the audiobook is really good.

Speaker 43 I'm really proud of it.

Speaker 76 Yeah, and you haven't done an audiobook by yourself in a long time.

Speaker 20 Long time, right?

Speaker 2 10 years.

Speaker 15 It takes 35 hours for 15 hours of audio spot.

Speaker 76 Pat and I split up one of your audiobooks that we did,

Speaker 76 Arguing with Idiots, I think it was.

Speaker 76 And it, oh my gosh, it takes forever.

Speaker 76 And they just are all over you because.

Speaker 6 No, they weren't with me.

Speaker 76 With you, they let you do whatever you want, I guess. Well, except for singing Adolf.
But they'd watch every word and make sure you hit every word exactly. And it's not conversational

Speaker 76 unless you do it by yourself, yourself, which this one is.

Speaker 42 And

Speaker 76 it's a different thing. It's almost like a really extended, deep version of the radio show where you have all the research right in front of you.
And it's really good.

Speaker 7 It's really, it's really, the audiobook is, I think, really good.

Speaker 101 It's interesting.

Speaker 83 I was listening to it this morning and I went, hmm, that's not in the book.

Speaker 4 Because

Speaker 9 I just read it.

Speaker 111 You know what I mean? But I read it.

Speaker 5 It is really weird.

Speaker 26 I've been in broadcast for 40 years and I trained myself to read the line ahead.

Speaker 107 So somebody could hand me something cold to read,

Speaker 111 and the goal was when I was, you know, 15 years old, I would sit with a newspaper, and I would try to read the newspaper, but put it into my own words cold the first time.

Speaker 42 So when I try to read stuff, and I do this all the time, when you hear me trying to read stuff verbatim on the air, I sound like an idiot.

Speaker 102 I I can't do it because

Speaker 26 I've trained myself not to do that.

Speaker 25 And so when I try really hard to read something verbatim, it doesn't work.

Speaker 76 This is incredible news to me as someone who's written for you for 20 years that you can't actually read the words written for you.

Speaker 43 Right.

Speaker 76 That is a news flash in my world.

Speaker 94 But be honest, you can write stuff for me.

Speaker 5 And whenever we would have a new teleprompter person,

Speaker 47 the teleprompter, you'd have to be next to them going, move, move.

Speaker 16 He's already just said that.

Speaker 69 I haven't said that.

Speaker 76 He's translated it on the fly

Speaker 76 and made up, you know, gone on a tangent.

Speaker 4 And move on. He's already done.

Speaker 20 He's past that now.

Speaker 13 Yeah. So

Speaker 76 you get a lot extra, I guess, out of the audiobook. If you're a person who listens to those, it's a great one to get.
It is. There's a lot of, you know, you listen to the professionals do it.

Speaker 76 And not to call you unprofessional, but like the professional audiobook readers do a great job at enunciating and

Speaker 76 the fundamentals of saying every single word perfectly, you

Speaker 49 get into the Russians a little, it's a little dicey.

Speaker 70 Yeah, it's a little dicey.

Speaker 76 But I mean, there's personality in it, though.

Speaker 76 And I think people will really like it if they like the show. So it's definitely worth getting.
Okay, so

Speaker 36 there's a test in this, and

Speaker 123 this comes from, you know, I'm an alcoholic.

Speaker 80 And

Speaker 13 when I first started to think, you know, maybe I might have a problem.

Speaker 36 You know, that's a pretty good sign.

Speaker 61 And everybody in AA says, you know, know, if you're thinking that, you probably got a problem.

Speaker 20 Because most people aren't like, I think I might have a problem.

Speaker 43 I might be an alcoholic.

Speaker 50 You're not thinking that unless you're spending a lot of the time going, I love you.

Speaker 74 You know,

Speaker 9 you are just

Speaker 55 the greatest.

Speaker 7 And you're the chief of police and that's your conversation with the people in the jail.

Speaker 46 I mean, it just, you know, you got a problem.

Speaker 2 You start to think, I might have a problem.

Speaker 57 So I went online and I tried to find, is there a questionnaire that I can take that says,

Speaker 49 you know, do you think you might be an alcoholic?

Speaker 9 Well, there is.

Speaker 23 There's lots of tests.

Speaker 36 So I took this test and I wrote it.

Speaker 49 Now, I don't want you to answer this for you.

Speaker 121 Actually, I want you to answer this in two ways.

Speaker 55 I want you to answer this for you,

Speaker 51 and then I want you to answer it

Speaker 12 for the left, or vice versa if you're on the left.

Speaker 70 Answer it for the other side.

Speaker 2 Okay?

Speaker 3 Answer these questions.

Speaker 10 Do you, are you addicted to outrage?

Speaker 96 One,

Speaker 22 do politics or social media occasionally make you say and do things you regret afterwards?

Speaker 13 Answer for both sides.

Speaker 94 The other side?

Speaker 76 And you. Oh my gosh.
I mean, you know, the other side, whether they have regret or not

Speaker 76 is questionable. But I mean, I think everybody gets in that position where they, you know, some say things and you're like, I wish I put that a different way.

Speaker 76 Or why did I get too mad yelling at my cousin over some dumb comment they said on Facebook?

Speaker 2 Like that happens.

Speaker 102 Do people often recommend that you might cut down or stop consuming so much news or social media?

Speaker 20 Married to

Speaker 76 America's number one social media user. Yeah.
She would say yes to that because it's usually me whining about it.

Speaker 45 Do you speak in absolutes more often than you did five years ago?

Speaker 37 Meaning,

Speaker 20 is this group evil or is this group good?

Speaker 37 Is this person absolutely 100%

Speaker 2 wrong and a traitor?

Speaker 54 Is that the same way you would have referred to people five, ten years ago?

Speaker 79 Have you avoided friends, places, or events because of politics?

Speaker 2 Oh, man. Absolutely.

Speaker 76 Yeah, gosh. There's everybody.

Speaker 76 I know tons of people who block certain people from their feed, who will avoid talking to them. I mean, then you're missing all their life updates, too, right?

Speaker 2 I mean, but you just lying in about politics all the time.

Speaker 76 Shut up. Get out of my face.

Speaker 108 How many people have lost contact with their parents or their best friends?

Speaker 93 Would you be disappointed if your children treated others the same way you do in your political interactions?

Speaker 43 Wow.

Speaker 76 Think of your five worst tweets or Facebook comments and picture your kids saying them.

Speaker 76 And I can definitely, I mean, can you imagine? Think of like, you know, think of the people you see on the left that you're talking about.

Speaker 70 Think of Debbie threatening people's lives. And

Speaker 53 here's a really good one.

Speaker 56 Think of Debbie Wasserman Schultz when asked the question: Were your children children before they were born?

Speaker 26 I thought of that so many times.

Speaker 31 She's on videotape.

Speaker 90 Her children are going to get older, and they're going to hear their mom not willing to answer if they were babies, if they were children when they were in her womb.

Speaker 43 How weird is that?

Speaker 9 Does your circle of online political allies include people that you're not completely comfortable being aligned with?

Speaker 102 Does it feel great when someone attacks your political opponent?

Speaker 7 Do you find yourself defending your political allies by pointing out the other side does the same thing?

Speaker 33 Have you ever decided to give up social media only to fail within a few days or a few hours?

Speaker 23 Have you defended the behavior?

Speaker 76 You had an interview that you taped yesterday with Ben Shapiro.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 76 And you asked, you talked about that particular thing, and he said, you know, I think he said he tried to give up Twitter for one day.

Speaker 20 One day and couldn't come close. Yeah, couldn't come close.

Speaker 107 Have you defended behavior in others that you would never accept in your own life or the life of your family?

Speaker 42 Is the way you treat people online inconsistent with the way you treat people in person?

Speaker 7 Have you often taken actions designed only to trigger the emotions of someone you have disagreed with?

Speaker 97 So in other words, oh, you just said that?

Speaker 28 I'm going to get you.

Speaker 20 Or you're trolling, right? Yeah, or you're trolling.

Speaker 17 And that's them controlling your life.

Speaker 20 Yes.

Speaker 76 You're letting their reactions control what you do.

Speaker 58 It's amazing because that's what the Russians are doing to all of us.

Speaker 42 Have you said things that would have made you uncomfortable hearing someone else say five years ago?

Speaker 5 Would your life be better without the political arguments or comments on social media?

Speaker 58 That's fun.

Speaker 94 When answering these questions, did you use the importance of the political cause to justify any of the negative behavior?

Speaker 20 That's an important one.

Speaker 30 Have you re-evaluated your standards?

Speaker 25 Or are you supporting and defending actions or ideas that you would have never supported just five years ago?

Speaker 32 Do you definitely believe that all or most of the media sources on the right or the left rarely tell the truth knowingly or unknowingly, and that they are dangerous and perhaps should be shut down and regulated by the government?

Speaker 119 If you answer yes one to five times, you might be approaching a problem.

Speaker 84 If you answer yes six to ten times, you got a problem.

Speaker 36 Politics is dominating your life.

Speaker 87 If you answered yes 11 or more times, I just have to be straight with you.

Speaker 31 Most people that interact with you don't like you.

Speaker 105 They just don't like you.

Speaker 11 Okay, that's the straight truth.

Speaker 37 You might think they do, but they really don't.

Speaker 17 They'll claw their own arm off to get away from you.

Speaker 76 I'm sorry, Rachel Mattow. I know you got 14 or 15 there.

Speaker 29 So it's not good for you.

Speaker 5 Now, here's the other thing, and you brought this up because we were listening to this in the car this morning.

Speaker 2 You brought up, now judge the other side.

Speaker 7 Did you say yes to almost all of those for the other side?

Speaker 76 Yeah,

Speaker 76 I think I would. I think, you know, at least 12 to 15 of those, I would have said yes.

Speaker 39 When I'm describing the left, I would say yes.

Speaker 76 And certainly I did better on the quiz than they did when I answered the questions.

Speaker 70 And I don't know what that says about me.

Speaker 76 I mean, I guess maybe I'm not fairly judging them. Maybe they are worse.
I think there's good evidence, right, that some people on the left, particularly in this time,

Speaker 17 go a lot further. But

Speaker 6 I don't want any element of what they do in my life.

Speaker 76 Like, even if I am a little bit more successful in controlling myself at times than I think they are,

Speaker 20 I don't want any of that in there.

Speaker 76 I don't want the way they approach and react to things to be part of my calculus on this point.

Speaker 83 It's kind of like the badge of merit with George Washington, the original Purple Heart.

Speaker 79 The only way we're going to win is if we are a virtuous, moral, and

Speaker 25 religious people, religious people.

Speaker 28 People who are caught doing good things, not caught doing bad things.

Speaker 35 We are people of merit.

Speaker 5 That's the reason why we won the Revolutionary War.

Speaker 7 There's one other question that is not in the book that I'd like to answer or I'd like to ask.

Speaker 2 When you heard this poll, at any time,

Speaker 17 did your anger build up?

Speaker 26 You were angry at any of the questions, or angry that these questions are being posed,

Speaker 7 angry that you, you would be accused of feeling any of these things, even though I asked you to ask yourself and about others, assuming that you were good.

Speaker 49 If you had the anger rise up in you,

Speaker 32 that also is a sign, you know, maybe we should all go to AA for a minute and

Speaker 98 just get a handle on this why

Speaker 94 because our outrage stops us from reason

Speaker 56 and that is the goal of the postmoderns they the postmodernist wants to destroy reason science facts discussion

Speaker 7 That's what we're missing in America. And outrage keeps us from it.

Speaker 19 All right, our sponsor sponsor this half hour is Filter Buy.

Speaker 21 Filter Buy

Speaker 42 is this great company that

Speaker 58 makes filters all here in America, in a small town here in America in the South.

Speaker 7 And

Speaker 41 it was actually a company.

Speaker 64 Do you remember what they were originally?

Speaker 79 It was a company that was started by

Speaker 7 this guy's wife's grandfather.

Speaker 87 And they employed a bunch of people in the town.

Speaker 83 It's this old factory.

Speaker 7 And, you know, people, you know, nobody's buying that particular item from factories anymore.

Speaker 102 This guy worked up in Wall Street and his wife said, this is my grandfather's factory and the whole town kind of works there.

Speaker 23 What do we do?

Speaker 87 And so they bought it and they took it and retooled it.

Speaker 7 He did study what is the best thing we can do, what is the need in America.

Speaker 44 And they came up with

Speaker 42 filter replacements that are made here in America and can be shipped right to your house and really even shipped without you ordering.

Speaker 19 You order once and you say, I want to be on the automatic list, and it knows, you know, you tell it what system you have and what filters you need.

Speaker 7 And, you know, whatever the instructions say, you know, they have to replace them every six months or whatever your air handling system says, they automatically ship them.

Speaker 90 So it's a no-brainer.

Speaker 7 It's really inexpensive.

Speaker 55 They ship for free.

Speaker 87 Custom options are available.

Speaker 3 It saves you time.

Speaker 22 It saves you money.

Speaker 14 And it saves you wear and tear on your air handling system.
