'Fight or Flight, the Threat is Real'? - 7/30/18

The Blaze Radio Network.

On demand.

Glad back.

Was the Obama administration the toughest administration on terrorism?

That's the line

the left and the media has wanted us to swallow.

You know, forget about supporting the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, the founders of modern-day jihadism.

And also, let's forget about giving the world's leading state sponsor of terror, Iran, $400 million in cash on a pallet at the Tehran airport.

Let's forget about those little hiccups because after all, he killed bin Laden.

I think he did it with his own hands.

Here's the president, President Obama, back in 2011 on the state of Al-Qaeda.

Listen.

By the time we found bin Laden, Al-Qaeda's agenda had come to be seen by the vast majority of the region as a dead end.

And the people of the Middle East and North Africa had taken their future into their own hands.

The people of Africa.

So let me just make sure I have this right.

In other words, their leader was dead and the movement was dying.

So let's accept that as true.

Mr.

President, if that was true, if you had them on the ropes and this was all but a one battle, Why was your administration giving money to al-Qaeda's global finance network?

This is a story that is a little underreported on the left and the mainstream media.

The story goes back 14 years.

The U.S.

Treasury Department had caught a group called the Islamic Relief Agency red-handed.

They were raising funds in support of jihadists.

They had branches all over the world, including the Middle East and Africa, Western Europe, and even here in the United States.

They were responsible for channeling over $1.2 million to Iraqi insurgents fighting U.S.

soldiers in Iraq.

They were also found guilty, guilty of raising more than $5 million for Osama bin Laden.

The Islamic Relief Agency was designated as a terror financing organization.

Now, you'd think that story would stop after that, right?

But it doesn't.

Ten years after they were designated as terror financiers, the the Obama administration approved a $200,000 grant for them to do work in Africa.

An NGO had contracted them to do work in Sudan.

When the NGO mentioned that this contracted group might be on the terror list, the Obama administration then paused the deal.

Now here's where it gets weird.

Let's give them the benefit of the doubt for a second.

It's possible somebody within the Obama administration screwed up

the application process and just didn't check to see if this group was on the terror list.

That's incredibly dangerous and incompetent, but at least it's understandable.

But here's what I can't understand.

At this point, everyone involved knows about the Islamic Relief Agency and what they're involved in.

They know that they have given money to Osama bin Laden.

They know they're on the terrorist list.

But knowing all of that, they still agreed to pay them $125,000.

That's over $100,000 of your tax money that was given to known terrorists.

How did this happen?

Well, that was our question over the weekend.

There's one U.S.

government agency at the center of all of this.

And boy, do they have a strange knack for being directly in the middle of some of the darkest and most secret things our government is involved in.

It's disgraceful.

It's disgusting.

It's dangerous.

And it's still going on.

See who I'm talking about tonight on TV on theblaze.com.

It's Monday, July 30th.

You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

Good morning, Stu.

How are you?

Fine, Glenn.

Thank you for asking.

That's what I do.

I'm always amazed by when you say something like $150,000 went to a known terrorist group.

I always like to think about that as, for most people, that's like more tax dollars than they'll ever contribute.

Like, so you will go through your entire life paying taxes.

And maybe, you know, it's a couple hundred thousand dollars for your entire life.

All your work, your entire life, all the money you ever gave to the government just went to a terrorist group.

Congratulations, you win.

We are so

we are so we are so screwed up.

There's a story out of Texas today

where they are now talking about renaming the city of Austin.

They have already renamed seven streets that they deemed worthy of immediate action.

And they now want to rename the city of Austin.

Now, Stephen F.

Austin is known here in Texas as the father of Texas.

He is the namesake of Austin.

He's the guy who carved out the early outlines of Texas.

He is

also

He's also the guy who attempted,

opposed an attempt by Mexico to ban slavery

in a province called Tejas.

So

he said if the slaves were free, they would turn into vagabonds, a nuisance, and a menace.

So we've got to change the name of Austin now.

This is what the city of Austin is doing.

They are just rewriting history.

They're just erasing.

How do you do that?

How do you do that?

Who is oppressed

by the name Austin?

It's a progressive utopia.

It is becoming the San Francisco of Texas.

Thank you, California.

And now they're claiming that In this progressive utopia,

they're so oppressed.

How?

You took over the city.

How are you oppressed?

And so now they have to change our history.

Over the weekend,

I was recording the audio book for the new book that's coming out September 18th.

It's called

Addicted to Outrage.

And I read this story, and I had just read this section of the book, and I just, I want to read it to you.

As we search for truth, let's first remember who we are.

America's history with slavery is an abomination.

Frankly, the people back then were monstrous.

I mean, how could they not be?

It may not have, you know, been in their home or even their neighborhood, but they knew slavery was going on the food they ate the clothes they wore the fabric cotton was was picked and made by slaves they may not have been able to hear the lash and the crack of the whip but all they had to do was think about it but they refused

we should now in this century judge and condemn them and it's important to do so to set ourselves apart and signal our virtue because just as this generation has passed judgment on past generations, we too shall be judged and condemned by our children and our children's children.

They will ask,

How could they have possibly cared about some entertainer who tweeted stupid stuff or spend days going back and forth online asking, Do you see a blue dress or is it a gold dress?

They knew that the food that they ate and the clothes that they wore were picked and made by slaves.

Or is it somehow different now?

Judge the founders and we too shall be judged.

Why are we not today leading the charge to free the slaves that are currently in chains?

There are more in bondage today than the entire 400-year period of Western slave trade combined.

What people now say about the founders is just as true about us today.

We may not be able to hear the lash and the crack of the whip, but all we have to do is Google it.

Hashtag slavery is out of control.

Hashtag hashtags don't count as actually doing something.

I can see my ratings now minute to minute.

This is something new.

And I know that every time I speak about freeing slaves in today's world, my ratings go down.

I have shared the stories of the way radicals now fund their diabolical plans in organ harvesting.

We have taken two cells off the streets when we kicked in the doors of their surgery centers in the Middle East.

These are Christian Yazidi slaves and even Muslim orphans who have more value as parts than people.

But people in radio and television and online beg me not to talk about it.

Now, let's be really careful of asking the honest question here, because once you hear the answer, you're going to be faced with the choice.

The question is, why?

Why don't people want to hear it?

Answer:

Because all of those who have been oppressed by a statue are selfish, self-centered crybabies and cowards.

And quite frankly, the rest of us are too comfortable in the belief that by expressing our outrage toward those crybabies, we're doing our part.

The choice is

dogpile with outrage over my answer and do nothing,

or do your own homework and find the truth for yourself.

And instead of focusing on the crybabies, maybe we work together and lead and stop slavery today.

The full book comes out September 18th.

It is

really good, if I may say so myself, as I'm reading it out loud over the last 35 hours.

It is

very clarifying.

Very, very clarifying.

And

backs up with history and science, what's happening to us today.

and where we need to go.

It's called Addicted to Outrage, and it's it's available now at Amazon

and also you can pre-order on Audible.

Once again, sensitive personal data has been exposed in more data breaches for nearly two months.

An authorized party reportedly used stolen usernames and passwords to log into online accounts of certain major department store websites.

Customer data such as full names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, birthdays, payment, credit cards, and expiration dates have all been compromised now.

With your personal information, with your personal information from a data breach, criminals can open accounts, they can file tax returns, they can buy property, and so much more.

It is,

in a connected world, really easy to destroy your life really quickly.

So what the media is not

discussing, and it is the fuel that feeds Donald Trump,

and the reason why I believe that

this next 2020, the election of 2020, will not be a referendum on Donald Trump.

It'll be a referendum on who runs against Donald Trump.

The thing that nobody is paying attention to is the two states.

There's two Americas now.

And it is the America of

I don't even want to say traditional values because that isn't even it.

The America that understands, generally speaking, the Bill of Rights and says, look, we can all get along and let's, you know, let's just work this out.

And maybe I want bigger government or smaller government than you, but generally, we're okay.

The other America is now quickly becoming the democratic version of America, where it is hostile to different thought,

where it is

claims that everything about America is racist, that the hierarchy must be taken down, that men have no power other than to rape women.

This is the choice.

The choice of 170 different genders or two,

and I can live next to somebody who's, you know, wearing a skirt, and I just don't have to like it, and I don't have to say anything, and I don't have to, you know, applaud every time.

I'd say, oh my gosh, Bert,

that is the most lovely blouse I have ever seen.

We don't have to say that, but I don't have to hate him either.

You do have to say Caitlin Jenner is beautiful, though, right?

Oh, yeah, in both Americans.

You have to say so.

No matter how,

I'm sorry, what are you about to say?

How good

she looks in a swimsuit.

Okay.

We have to make sure we say it.

That's second.

Why are you objectifying her?

Why are you objectifying Caitlin?

Unbelievable.

I don't have an answer.

I don't have a good answer.

Okay, so

this is the problem.

The problem is, is that America, the Democrats

are fully in on postmodernism, which means anything that...

anything that is remotely involved with the building of the Western culture is bad

because it is it's why it's why mathematics have you heard that mathematics are racist you've heard that right

math is racist you haven't no seriously seriously we've talked about it a couple of times there are serious people now that are saying that mathematics are racist I've heard this you know when it applies to like the SATs for example where like certain cultural things might not be understood but how is math racist oh boy oh boy okay so I'm surprised you didn't hear this or remember that we've talked about this.

Probably.

There's serious people now claiming that math is racist.

And I've never understood it until I began to look into postmodernism.

Now I get it.

I absolutely get it.

Because to me, I would think it's self-evident that serious people are not saying math is racist.

Because if you're saying math is racist, you're not a serious person.

So it's impossible for a serious person to say math is racist.

Their numbers.

Yeah, right.

Well, serious people are saying math is racist, and here's why.

Math is racist because

it is math, science, reason

that built the Western way of life, that built the Western world.

So anything that helped build this world needs to be taken apart.

Now, it may be resurrected later, but anything that helped build the Western way of life must be stopped and taken apart because it has to be collapsed.

And then it can be resurrected under a new name or a new regime or whatever.

But everything

that helps keep this together or helped build it has to be taken apart.

That's how you get to a place where mathematics is racist.

And we have to not roll our eyes at that because

there are serious people.

Now,

like Stu says, I don't think you're serious.

But they do.

They are.

And people are taking them seriously.

And they are in serious positions of education.

And so when you have the halls of education saying, no, no, well, no, math is racist.

It will become a fact to a lot of kids.

And these kids are being indoctrinated with this garbage right now.

I don't know what it's going to take before we start saying, I'm not sending my kids to any of these schools.

I'm not doing it.

I am not doing it.

My kids would be better off at a trade school.

My kids would be better off without a degree and just starting to, I mean, unless they're a, I don't want to be a doctor, but I'm not sending my children through these indoctrination camps because that is exactly what's happening in these universities.

Back in a minute.

This is the Glenn Bett program.

Let me give you a...

Let me give you a...

This is dangerous.

Let me give you an example of postmodernism in action, but you don't think of it this way.

You think of it as

a...

as supporting your president or supporting your party, but it is actually postmodernism.

The new new pollout, $12 billion to aid farmers that have been hurt by the tariffs.

Now,

what is that story?

The story of the aid is a bailout for a big group of people because of a tax increase.

Now, Americans who are conservative should be against the big tax increase.

And the tariff, same thing,

which caused the hurt to the farmers.

We should recognize that.

And then say, wait, we don't want to bail them out.

That's doubling down on a bad idea.

We don't want bailouts.

So the government screws it up.

The government bails it out.

Who does that sound like?

That's Democrats.

Democrats.

Right.

That's a progressive idea, right?

The taxes.

And then because of the damage that the taxes do, you have to bail somebody out.

Okay,

that is the Democratic Party.

$12 billion aid to farmer hurt by tariffs.

Are you for or against it?

In favor, 78% of Republicans against 22% of Republicans.

In favor, 34%

of Democrats oppose 66%

of Democrats.

Wait.

Can anybody be honest?

Can anyone be honest?

And I think my initial reaction to that was

people are just supporting their team, right?

Like the Republicans, you know, they know that Trump's doing this.

So even though they might not necessarily like the policy idea, it's less important than supporting their guy.

And the same thing from the Democrats, even though they love, they obviously love the idea of a bailout to support a tax increase.

And it's like Democrat 101.

But it's Trump doing it.

So here they just say they don't like like it because they don't like Trump.

So this is, in a way, postmodernism in action.

Because the Democrats should love this.

Republicans should hate it.

But Democrats should love it.

They should love it.

They don't.

They don't.

Why?

Because

it is Donald Trump.

Anything to destroy Donald Trump.

Why do the Republicans support this?

Because it is Donald Trump and

he's destroying the mainstream media.

He's destroying the old guard.

So it is destruction that is making us, not reason, destruction that is making us go here.

Now

we can say that it is about my loyalty, but

it really is about destruction.

You're loyal to him because you see him kicking down the doors of power, correct?

And they are opposed to him

because they see him,

to be honest, they see him as a jingoistic, raw-raw America.

Let's make America great again.

That goes against everything postmodernism is.

So they have to abandon reason.

The hardest thing about postmodernism and the thing that we have to understand

otherwise we're never going to be able to even fight it it's it's it's the same as uh as

progressivism until you could say no there is a difference between a liberal and a progressive

Until we understood that difference, it wasn't just word games.

It was vitally important

to understand and expose it.

The same thing with postmodernism.

Postmodernism.

What is the modern age?

The modern age is the age that was developed under science, math,

reason,

study, honest questioning, fixed reason firmly in her seat.

That's what created the modern world.

There was no magic anymore.

You had to prove it scientifically.

So

we get to Karl Marx.

And Karl Marx, what is his theory?

Stu, what's his theory?

That all of the workers are going to eventually what?

Unite.

Workers of the world will unite and they will come together to overthrow the evil fat cats.

Yes, they're going to overthrow capitalism and anybody who has anything and they're all going to share.

Okay.

Well, A, we know human nature well enough enough to know that in the end, nobody shares.

Nobody shares.

If you have absolute power, you are not gonna share that power and you're not gonna share your stuff because you'll end up saying, you know, me and the rest of these guys, we're the ones doing all the work.

We deserve it.

And they isolate themselves and it ends up in Venezuela.

Okay.

So at the turn of the century, And starting in the 1850s, people believed that the workers would rise up.

And they did.

That's what unions were for.

And unions were, at the beginning, communist organs.

That's all they were.

They were trying to unite all of the workers to rise up against the evil robber barons, whether they were robber barons or not.

So

the unions start.

Progressivism starts.

Because progressivism says, now this is before all the hundreds of millions of dead.

Progressivism says communism is the way to go.

This one big state

and will unite the world.

And that's really the way to go.

But we don't like the revolution part.

That's very un-American.

Remember, you can assign some good intent here from the progressives because they didn't know at the time how it would turn out.

So they say a big state.

and some sort of authoritarian plan is much better.

And we can do it now because science is ruling.

Reason, logic.

So

they don't, they see the

revolution in Russia.

They don't like the revolution in Russia.

But they think that Stalin is the guy.

Then Mussolini steps up to the plate.

And Mussolini doesn't have a revolution.

Mussolini, he takes over the state.

Yes, he has some beatings in the streets with his black shirts and everything else, but it is not like the Russian revolution.

And he comes in and he takes power.

Now,

FDR sends his best people over to study Mussolini.

FDR writes a review of Mussolini's book on fascism and says it's great.

This is the future.

So all of this is happening.

And then fascism falls apart.

And what fascism was, was

communism says workers of the world.

But Mussolini figured out, because it was right after World War I: wait a minute,

all the soldiers here, they didn't fight for all of the countries of the world.

They fought for Italy.

So we're going to take this communist idea and just make it a nationalist idea because that is a better way to get everybody into a one totalitarian state.

So they were both socialists and both for complete control, state-run.

Well, about 1940, 45, it's all falling apart.

By 1950, all of the communists see what's happening.

The people in Europe have just fought against Russia and fought against

fascism.

And in America, we're starting to be very, very prosperous.

We're exploding.

And people are starting to have TVs and phones and houses and cars and two cars.

And they realize these SOBs are not going to rise up.

They're not going to rise up.

They want the creature comforts.

And somebody says,

they don't know that they've been hypnotized.

Oh my gosh, this system is so evil.

They're just being...

they're just being bought

and they don't know that they're even in slavery and they have no idea that they are oppressed

ding ding ding ding ding the first bells of postmodernism how do we take the west apart how do we tell people in the west that they're all really oppressed

What they have to do is they have to start splitting us into little teeny groups.

Like fascism fascism learned, it's nationalism.

But if you split it down even into smaller groups, you can divide even a country.

And so we have to split everybody into their own oppressed groups, even those groups that don't think they're oppressed.

They're in an oppressed group.

And we can split them all apart.

But then to do this, we must discredit the entire system.

We we have to tear it all down because there's no way you can build anything off of the back of this system it must be entirely new so we have to split everybody apart we have to show how they're oppressed then we need to discredit every system

We need to to have riots in the streets, chaos in the streets, with no one having any idea of what is true, what is not true, and then when it burns itself down to the ground, we will come out on the other side and we will build our new utopia.

That's where we are, guys.

That's where we are.

We're beyond the progressives.

Progressives weren't the ones that wanted all of the riots in the streets.

Progressives were the ones who said, I don't want revolution.

I want to take it step by by step.

Still, their idea is one state-run government,

but they didn't want revolution.

Postmodernists came in and said, that is the only way to tear it entirely apart and to be as vicious and ruthless as we can possibly be.

Because

Americans and the people in the West, they don't even know how oppressed they really are.

It's important for us to know this

so we can spot it and not play into it.

I told you years ago, chaos is the operative word.

It is going to be the word that

historians will write about this time period.

And the people did not see the chaos that was being inflicted upon them i.e china i.e.

russia

they did not see the chaos that was being inflicted on them nor did they see the chaos that they were furthering and spreading themselves

we cannot be agents of chaos

We must, if we are going to preserve not just the country anymore, this is bigger than our country now.

If we are going to preserve the Western way of life, we must again to use

reason

and logic and science and dare I say, faith, faith,

at least in one another.

Glenn back.

Welcome to the program.

Let's go to Mike in Tennessee.

Hello, Mike.

Beck, you get better every day where most talk shows get stale.

You just collect your analysis.

Thank you.

Let me develop a quick thought here.

I know you're up against a hard break, but back in the 80s and 90s, there was a group that used to, if the IRS took someone's home, collectively pull their money and buy it back.

And it pulled the teeth of the IRS.

They lost that power.

Now, I don't believe in any subsidies.

95% of the federal government should go away.

I hate them.

This to me is not political.

This is business negotiation to tell China, if you think that you're going to mess with our farmers because of fairness, that we want to have equal tariffs, you know, let's have none of them, but if you're going to do 20%, we're going to do 20%.

We're going to fund them.

And I'll tell you what, do it to our electronic industry.

We're 20 trillion in debt.

What's another another trillion?

Do it again to our farmers.

We'll add 20 billion more.

This is a negotiating strategy, in my opinion.

Okay, well, Mike, it might be, and it's my hope that it is, but you're leaving out one important part, and that is,

what's another billion to add to our debt?

Our trillion to add to our debt.

Well,

China is basically our bank.

So, I mean, if they are our bank, it's one thing to say, hey, we've got the money.

It doesn't matter.

It's called FU money.

That's what it's called.

And you're right.

That is the best way to negotiate.

Unfortunately, we have to go get a loan from the bank we're telling FU to.

And it doesn't always work out quite so well.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Glenn back.

Russia currently appears more interested in hacking the U.S.

electrical grid than interfering with our midterm elections.

Oh, well, that's a relief.

Last week, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed that Russian military intelligence has been hacking into the control rooms of power plants all across the U.S., and they've been doing it for the past year.

Shouldn't we, shouldn't we have, I mean, shouldn't this been on TV a little bit?

I mean, just a little bit?

So far, they appear to have stopped short of trying to take remote control of the plants, which they did in the Ukraine in 2015.

But U.S.

intelligence officials interviewed by the New York Times say that Homeland Security has, quote, understated the scope of the threat, end quote.

Yes, it's our power plants.

That would, I mean,

President Trump was briefed Friday on U.S.

cybersecurity efforts to protect the midterm election systems.

Some believe Russian hackers may just be biding their time, waiting to attack the election systems closer to Election Day.

Last week, Microsoft announced at a security conference that it had stopped an attack on congressional offices in late 2017.

Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill says her office was one of the ones attacked unsuccessfully.

She is on the Senate Armed Service Committee, and one official says Russian hackers may be trying to find a way into the classified military information that the Senate committee has access to.

So far, Russian hacks into the electrical grid involve installing malware in the utility operating systems.

According to the Department of Homeland Security, the Russians gained access to the grids by first hacking into the networks of utility contractors who have poor cybersecurity defenses.

Now,

I don't know about you, but the overall lack of alarm of what's happening with Russia is to me a little bit confusing.

I mean, Washington occasionally gives it lip service,

but are you seeing any concerted and coordinated effort to confront Russia on this one?

I mean, the attitude is like, wow, this is bad.

Somebody should do something, huh?

Yeah, you, you should be doing something.

I'm telling you now, if this would have happened in the 1980s instead of 2018, where we don't know the difference between right and wrong, truth and fiction,

I'm just saying, somebody might have said, well, oh, I hit that button.

There would probably be missiles in the air.

Now, I don't want war, but I also, you know,

don't want a world without electricity.

Wasn't hacking the number one topic in conversation in Helsinki?

What happened there?

If Congress was half as concerned about Russian hacking as they were about collusion,

America just might be on the way of being more prepared to safeguard our next two elections, not to mention keeping, you know, the lights and, hey, what do you say, the refrigeration on.

It's Monday, July 30th.

You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

The Daily Mail, which is a paper out of London, is reporting now that TDS, do you know what TDS is?

TDS.

I have TDS.

Trump derangement syndrome?

I was going to say that it can't be what he's referring to.

It is.

TDS.

Trump derangement syndrome.

They are now reporting that doctors are saying this is a real thing.

It's a real thing.

Oh, I think it's definitely a real thing.

Oh, yeah.

I mean, it definitely seems like it's a real thing.

Well, it's a real thing by choice.

I think it's a real thing by choice.

You weren't born with TDS.

No, I don't think you were born.

You have to decide I'm going to live my life this way.

You do.

You do.

Because there's no facts involved.

Listen to this.

Therapists across the United States say that ever since President Donald Trump took office, patients have been experiencing more anxiety, and it is affecting both Trump critics and supporters.

Okay, well, that is not TDS.

That is just, yeah,

we're headed towards a civil war.

We're not headed towards anything good here, and we all know it one way or another.

This cannot last the way we're headed.

It's just not going to last.

Several therapists spoke to Canada's CBC News saying that many of their patients have a fear about the country's future.

Welcome to it.

Democrats, hey, yeah, we've been here for a while.

We were here.

We were here in the second term of George W.

Bush.

So think how tired we are.

Fear about the country's future and if Trump will blow us all up.

Okay, now

that one.

I mean,

do you actually have that fear?

That Trump will blow us all up?

Yeah.

No, I don't have the fear.

Not the way of like, I'm going to destroy America, but I mean, get us into a war and all of a sudden the missiles are flying.

I mean, yes.

I have some worries over that.

I mean, I know

people who love Trump might think that that's, you know.

There's a fear of that, I think, with every president.

I mean, look at JFK almost did this, right we were close with jfk every president we have a giant military with one person generally speaking in control of the biggest weapons in it and so at any moment any president uh could make a mistake or do something wrong that lists that leads to something like let me give you instead of a um

instead of some sort of conspiracy theorist that you know donald trump is just he's just trigger happy let me show you a way that it could logically happen stu Stu, what is China the most afraid of right now?

What are they actually preparing for by 2020?

Do you know?

I don't know.

Okay.

Well, you actually do, but you haven't obsessed on it like probably I have because I have a condition.

You do.

Not TDS, something else.

I know it is.

Something much more serious.

Yes.

So

what are they doing?

By 2020, they are going to have a social

network thing.

Yeah.

Social media scores.

Yeah.

social credit scores and what is that for

i mean to control their populace control the populace it is exactly the it's exactly the thing that everybody saw with if you ever watched black mirror and you saw that episode where you can't travel you can't get a car you can't get a job if your social media score is low you are trapped that's exactly what this is and at the same time they are building these massive facilities and these massive facilities are education centers.

We should point out, too, because I think if you happen to miss this show that we did a few weeks ago when we talked about this, it's not like somebody's rumored to start this.

This is a policy that has already begun to be implemented in China.

They are actually adding, so that means if you say something bad about the government, you would lower your social credit score.

And if you do that enough, you would not be able to travel.

You would not be able to get benefits from the government.

You would not be able to get a job.

You can't have your children children go to school.

Right.

All sorts of things.

Yeah, basically to keep everybody in line, and it's a way to monitor that.

And it is already being implemented, and it will be fully implemented by 2020.

That's according to President Xi.

So, I mean, it's a done deal.

It's a done deal.

Okay.

So they're afraid of their populace.

Why are they afraid of their populace?

They're afraid of their populace because they cannot stop growth.

If they stop growth,

people will starve.

If their economy has a blip at all, people will starve and they know revolution is around the corner.

So they now have to get control of their people to know exactly where they are, give them all kinds of really bad punishments to make sure they all stay in line.

They are afraid of revolution.

What causes that a revolution?

What causes that revolution is anything that hurts their economy.

What hurts their economy?

A trade war.

We are playing with, and look,

I hope this is a negotiation tactic.

Now, Donald Trump has always said he believes in trade wars and that you can win trade wars.

And tariffs are great.

And tariffs are great.

All scientific and mathematical evidence, economic evidence shows that is not true.

tariffs are bad.

Trade wars are bad.

However, if he's just sticking his toe into the water and is using this as a negotiation and he knows how delicate the economy is over in China, you're going to be okay if he backs out at the right time and we get what we need and we've compromised and everybody walks away feeling okay.

And there's some evidence that he might do that, right?

With the way he treated the

Chinese phone company that was having issues,

he went to bat for them.

I mean, because it was a big deal to China, and he advocated strongly to lift security recommendations from his own government to help their economy.

Correct.

So

what happens if we don't start this trade war?

Trade wars are always the last stop before

real war.

Okay.

There's a whole series of events that happen.

It starts with

a crash, and then you start messing with the taxes, and you start redistribution, then you start blaming it on people outside of the country,

then you start protectionist moves, then you start trade wars, and if none of those things work,

the next step is war.

So could Donald Trump blow us all up in that way?

Yeah, that's

not plausible.

Not necessarily, it's a bad way to put it, right?

It's not Donald Trump blowing us up.

Like you could also say that, you know, this, the sort of more commonly referred to circumstance where

Trump, you know, with his sort of tough talk, sets, not because he's necessarily going to start a war, but because some dictator decides, you know, like Kim Jong-un could have easily taken that the other way and said, well, screw you.

If you're going to say, you're going to threaten me like that, I'm going to blow up South Korea.

And it could have, it could have.

It didn't.

But

you push yourself closer to those edges.

And anything like that doesn't mean that that's Trump's fault per se, and that

the person who fires the weapon is the one responsible for it, right?

Just like an enemy is the same.

But I'm trying to find a logical reason why

you could freak out right now.

Sure.

But those logical reasons are

just as valid as it was when Barack Barack Obama was cozying up in the Middle East through Benghazi, through the takedown of Syria, through the help to ISIS, and to the support of the Arab Spring.

You know,

I could make a case and did every night that that's a very dangerous thing.

That could upset the balance in the Western world, and it could cause all kinds of chaos in Europe, and it would cascade over here, and we're all screwed.

That was really valid.

It was not only plausible, it was possible and much of it happened.

But we're still here.

The problem here is Trump derangement syndrome.

People don't understand

that it's the same thing

that the right has been feeling.

We felt exactly the way you do now under Barack Obama.

The difference is you still have the mainstream media.

You're already violent and you still have the mainstream media batting for you.

We didn't.

We had no one standing for us.

We had Fox and talk radio.

That's it.

And the mainstream media kept pounding us and wanting us,

wishing and waiting for us to get violent.

We never did.

You still have the mainstream media and you've already run to violence.

And you're worried about all kinds of things

that should be worried about by all of us.

I don't want another war.

And we're moving in the direction, but we've been moving in that direction for longer than Donald Trump has been in office.

But you, you,

because there's no reason,

because we're not using logic, because we're not using facts, you you don't even know why you feel this way.

You don't even understand that,

because you can't.

Your reason centers shut down.

It's a defense mechanism.

When you're frightened, when you are freaking out, reason shuts down.

Fight or flight.

Well, we got to get everybody out of that because there are reasons to be concerned.

But until we get out of this

fight or flight, we'll never be able to see the real issues and be able to address them.

Until people can stop saying, I've got to defend the president at all costs from a group of people who say, I want to destroy him at all costs.

We're not going to be able to solve what's really happening in Russia.

And the threat is real.

Let's go to Bill in New York.

Hello, Bill.

Welcome to the program.

Hi.

I'd like to talk about people coming back from North Korea, the soldiers.

Yes, sir.

And you don't hear much about it on the news, like very little, even when they do talk about it.

Yeah.

And I think this is like a huge thing, you know.

I mean, I'm a father of a veteran myself, you know, and I couldn't imagine my son being gone that long, or my brother, my sister, or maybe my father.

And you just don't hear nothing about it at all yeah i would be interested in seeing those stories of the uh loved ones i mean we don't know yet the uh the remains have not been identified yet um and so we don't know who's come home yet um but i i would be very interested in hearing the the stories of those families who can now finally bury their father or their grandfather

and what that means.

I think this was a very big thing that perhaps, perhaps, because it was accomplished with Donald Trump, that it's not getting the press that it deserves.

But it's a big deal.

Well, I remember when it actually happened.

Remember when they sent the bodies home from Vietnam?

Yes.

I mean, it was huge.

It was huge.

It was on the news like forever.

Yeah.

Well, Vietnam was, you know, a little closer as well.

I mean, it wasn't North Korea.

So, I mean,

if you're lucky,

it's your father.

But

for most people, it'll probably be their grandfather that has returned.

Still, it's a very big deal, but it's a little more understandable because it's closer to Vietnam.

Bill, thank you so much.

Thank you so much.

And thank you for, we'll keep your son in our prayers.

Thank you for his service.

There's a couple of things that we should address today.

Medicare for all.

Do you see what the cost is?

I mean,

you know, everybody deserves...

It's a human right, so I don't think there's any cost that would

Medicare

for all.

No, it's actually not.

But

anyway,

the plan would cost $32.6 trillion.

Over how much time, though?

That's a limited amount of time.

Yeah, 10 years.

Right.

We say $32.6 trillion.

Well, that's not the cost.

It's much, much more than that.

It just depends on when you cut the time off.

And usually we talk in 10-year periods with these things.

things.

You should notice it's going to be a hell of a lot more than 30%.

I was just going to say,

I've never seen a government program come in at or under cost.

One thing we've been able to enjoy the past couple of years has been a great economy.

You know, go back to the financial collapse of 2008, 2009.

We've come a long way since then.

And what we've been able to see here is a lot of people who have been able to get on the plus side of their home, get some equity going, and maybe you're thinking this is the time I'm going to take my money out.

Maybe this is the time you want to move, or maybe you want to do something a little bit different.

Maybe you want to get into the housing market and buy something from renting.

Whatever you want to do, realestate agents I trust.com is the right place to go.

Why?

Because the people there are well versed in all the transactions that you need, but they're also people that you can trust.

There has to be a better way than just looking at some picture on a bench or finding someone you know from the gym, someone who has really been been screened for the best possible abilities when it comes to real estate transactions, realestate agentsitrust.com does it for you.

It's realestate agentsitrust.com.

Realestateagentsitrust.com.

Check it out.

You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

You know,

you can't always rely on the slippery slope argument.

You know, hey, we can't do that because, well,

no, that's not always true.

But it is when you have dishonest people on the other side who are by name progressive.

By name, they are slippery slope.

We're going to do this one piece at a time because we will move from here, baby step, to here, another baby step to here, another baby step.

So when you're dealing with people who are not telling you the truth because their end goal is progression,

the slippery slope is real.

And

the way to demonstrate that is in healthcare.

Now, remember, the progressive ideal, the thing they've been trying to do for 100 years that they will all deny is that we, until now, we have wanted 100%

everyone covered under one universal American health

program.

So there is no private insurance.

There are no private doctors.

It's just all government.

It's like the VA for everybody.

Oh, that's going to be good.

Okay.

That's what they've wanted.

They've wanted it from the beginning.

And you'll see it in honest reporting.

They'll say, you know, the dream of the Democratic Party for the last 100 years.

It was not Obamacare.

That was just a half measure.

And it was designed to collapse.

It was a Trojan horse.

What was that guy's name name at the Tides Foundation, Stu?

You remember him?

I don't remember his name, but I've always loved that clip because he's so proud of it.

He's like, look, you know, people are saying this is a Trojan horse for single payer.

It's not a Trojan horse.

It's right there.

I'm telling you,

he's saying, I'm telling you, it is a path to single payer.

Right.

That was the designer, one of the designers of Obamacare.

Right.

And the design was to collapse.

It won't be able to last, so it will collapse.

And that will cause people to say, take the next step forward: universal health care, single payer, Medicaid, Medicare for all.

And look, this goes back long before Obamacare.

It goes back to Lyndon Johnson, right?

Like the idea you can't get everybody covered under a single payer.

But what if we do just the most needy?

And what about just old people?

And what about, you know, and you start taking out different sections of it and you're still picking away.

Now Obamacare was just people who couldn't, who didn't, couldn't, weren't on Medicaid, but couldn't afford insurance.

Now we got those people.

And they just slowly have chipped away until basically we're at the point now where most people have some portion of their health covered by the government, a good chunk of them at least.

And it's always promised that it's going to be better than what we have.

Well, it never is.

It never is.

You go try to get prescriptions.

I mean, Canadians drive across the border all the time to buy prescription medicine.

Why?

Because they can't get it in Canada.

Nobody will cover it in Canada.

The government will decide what medication you can take.

And if you're in a family, like I'm in a family, my daughter who has cerebral palsy and epilepsy, my gosh, the medication alone is enough to bankrupt you.

And

you think she's going to be able to get the different kinds of medicines that she needs under Obamacare?

Or I'm sorry, under universal health care with Medicare?

No.

It's already gotten worse because of Obamacare.

So

they've run the numbers now, and these are the numbers, you know, and Bernie Sanders looks at them and says, they're pretty close to my numbers.

$32.6 trillion over 10 years.

Stu, how much do we raise in taxes?

We just had a record tax year for America.

We gathered more taxes than

in any other year in history.

How much was it?

Let's see.

U.S.

government total revenue estimated to be 3.422 trillion.

Okay.

So this is 3.26 trillion over 10 years.

So we've just raised the most amount of money that America has ever taxed her people.

It's never raised more money than this.

34.6,

34.2

for the year.

3.422 is estimated for 2019.

Okay.

So that's what we're getting.

This program will be paid for by taxes.

Now, we're already a trillion dollars in debt every year now.

We can't afford a trillion dollars of what we're spending.

So we're just putting that on the tab.

This is going to add

$3.26 trillion at the minimum.

This is what it is going in.

Per year.

Per year.

So that means to pay for this program, because they'll say, we'll just pay for it in taxes.

That's what they're saying.

People are going to have to pay more in taxes.

Yes.

Double, double the taxes.

We're only raising 3.4 now.

If you need to raise another 3.2, you have to double the taxes.

And what happens when you raise taxes?

Your unemployment numbers go up.

Your business goes down, which means your tax revenue goes down.

It doesn't work that way.

If you double taxes, you're not going to double revenue.

I mean, you may increase it, but you're not going to double it.

Stu, remember we did that thing.

Oh, man, this was way back in the CNN days.

There is a number, and I think it's, I want to say it's 17.8, but I could be wrong.

There is a percentage that no matter we've looked at

tax revenue from the beginning of the IRS to today,

and we've had taxes that were, you know, 20%, and we've had taxes that were 90%.

What was the average that no matter what the tax code said, what is the average that we collected?

What is it now?

You're speaking of Hauser's Law.

Hauser's Law is the proposition in the United States that federal tax revenues since World War II have always been approximately equal to 19.5% of GDP, regardless of wide fluctuations in the marginal tax rate.

Historically, since the end of World War II, federal tax receipts as a percentage of GDP averaged 17.9%

with a range of 14.4 to 20.9%.

So, yeah, you were off by one-tenth of a point.

That law was a little bit different than the actual results, but the point is it stayed really consistent.

Yeah.

So

the real solution to see how much money we actually have and can can spend is to just take our GDP

and

times it by, what, 19%

and see what we have.

What do we have?

That's how much money you have.

And you'll always have that money.

It is a slave to GDP.

I mean, the most efficient way.

to do income tax is just to have a flat tax of 19.5 or whatever it is, 20%.

20% income tax.

Everybody pays it.

There's no exceptions until you get down to a very low number, but it's 20% of what you have.

That's the most effective because there's the least amount of fraud.

There's no loopholes for anybody.

And that's what you're going to collect anyway.

No matter if you say, I'm going to charge 95% for the rich.

No, you're really not.

What?

There were no rich?

There were no rich under FDR?

What happened to all his money?

Did he pay all of his money?

Oh, no, he didn't.

He was still rich.

How?

Because there's always ways to hide and move money for the rich.

It's just not going to happen.

It's just not going to work.

And it just kills me when you see people

who don't want to use logic at all on taxes or on spending.

$32.6 trillion.

It's completely ridiculous.

I mean, at this point, you know, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is just, it's just socialist porn, right?

If you believe in that sort of philosophy, it's not, it doesn't need to be true.

It doesn't need to be any real backup to it.

It's just, it's exciting to think about the possibility that what if we took everyone's money and spent it all on things that we want?

I'm watching The Handmaid's Tale right now,

which, you know, first of all, is really, really well done.

I mean, you know, it's a Hulu series enjoying it.

You know, you have to look past the idea that it is essentially feminist porn.

Okay.

Right.

It is like fear, it's fear porn for feminists.

Like, here's the craziest thing.

The reason why it's so popular, besides it being really well done, but it's super dark.

The idea that this is a cultural phenomenon, I mean, every other scene is a sexual assault and it's really super terrible, right?

Horrible things happening throughout.

If you don't know the concept of it, basically,

somehow a civil war happened in the United States and a religious fundamentalist group basically took over.

I don't know if it's the whole United States or a big chunk of it.

I think what happened was there was some sort of an outbreak, wasn't there?

Yeah, there was a decrease in

fertility rate.

So they had to basically take all the women who were fertile and make them just baby machines, right?

So

the elites are constantly assaulting the baby machines who are subservient.

And the idea, of course, the reason why it's popular right now is, you know, I can see this happening.

Oh my gosh, Donald Trump wants to do this.

This is what he's trying to plan.

Like, that's what,

but that's why it appeals, right?

And this is, there's a long history of this, right?

Like, you could go to Atlas Shrugged is essentially libertarian fear porn, right?

Same thing with Overton Window, in a way, right?

The book that you wrote.

You go to Water World is essentially environmentalist fear porn, right?

All of these, you know, Red Dawn, right?

It was, it was, there was an example of it then.

Elysium, right, is if you are afraid of capitalism, that you believe that maybe, I don't know, maybe all the rich people will build a giant space satellite and they'll all live up there and we'll all suffer.

You know, I mean, that's essentially what it is.

I mean, leave out the fact that in Handmaid's Tale, it's really amazing because here you have a bunch of people saying, oh my gosh, you know what?

Donald Trump might do this.

When they ignore the fact that that society basically exists in several countries on Earth, which are almost never criticized by the left.

And by the way, one of them in particular is a communist country.

The same thing that essentially Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is rooting for the road to

is essentially the handmaid's tale, right?

I mean, you're telling me North Korea, Iran is another good example of this, where you have a society that runs somewhat similarly to what they're actually

showing on the handmaid's tail, and it's occurring right now.

See, this is what I tried to say about a half an an hour ago um that you don't even know what you're really afraid of you you are afraid of all these things like handmaiden's tale no it's not going to happen in america it's not going to happen no now could fascism happen in america yes could communism happen in america yes could uh could we have civil war in america yes

Could we have an Islamic war and a possible takeover from the Islamic world?

Unlikely, but yes, we could.

So we have all these things to worry about, all these things to, and nobody's actually talking about the real issues.

Instead,

you'll run to Handmaiden's Tale and say, see, this is the Trump America.

No, it's not the Trump America.

That's not the Trump America.

And

it's not the Obama America.

Let's deal with the facts.

Aren't the facts scary enough?

Why do we have to go to these shows and watch this dystopian future when this one's pretty frightening in and of itself?

Let's make sure that those things don't happen by dealing with the issues at hand.

How do we have a civil war?

How do we have

a government that all of a sudden loses control and a bad government steps in?

Well, I'll tell you, an easy path, lose your power.

Oh, who's doing that?

Is that in the news?

Yeah, Russia hacking our our power stations.

What do you say?

We work on that one.

So how real do you think the power thing is to do with Russia?

I mean, I think there's a constant effort by Russia to gain

pathways.

to influence our you know our country and i obviously i think the the election is part of that as well.

But like, I think they all are always looking for leverage.

So that doesn't mean that they're going to, I don't know that they're, like, where Al-Qaeda is

back in the day, would be an active,

they were actively trying to do these things to shut down our country and hurt us.

Where Russia, I think, is looking for leverage for the ability to be able to do it.

Like, they like the idea that they can get in.

I don't know that Russia is, you know, I mean, they could

starve us to death.

Exactly.

That's not necessarily their end goal, but they're always looking for ways to leverage us.

And that may have been what they were doing with the election.

But I think that that is their,

it's at least part of the goal.

And they know that they have it in case they need it.

Well, I mean, Putin said the next war is going to be fought with ones and zeros and not missiles.

I mean, what happens to you and your family if

this happens?

You run to the grocery store?

It's like, it's like, really?

Yeah, it really was.

It was like, it was just such a great ride that it's like, you know, if you could, if you, you know, you're on Space Mountain and you get to the end and you're like, go again.

Yeah.

Without the line.

Without the line.

Okay.

It's really, really good.

Back in a second.

Glenn back.

You know,

I just think that social media is maybe making us a lot more dumb.

Don't you think?

There's currently a hashtag being pushed by the BBC that is out right now.

Hashtag NoMore Boys and Girls.

This is coming from one of the largest news outlets in the world, which is also publicly funded.

They just ran an experiment where they dress up boys in girl clothing and girls in boy clothing, and then they sit back and watches volunteer adults go to play with them.

Now, there's some high-level science here.

I don't know if you know this, but

you probably have no idea what the results are going to be.

What happens when these adults sit down with a girl dressed as a boy and a boy dressed as a girl?

Let's go straight to the video.

I think she likes that pink dolly the best.

If I were to tell you, actually, that Sophie is Edward.

Ah!

Does that change anything?

I maybe thought, oh, this is a little girl, so I have to give a little girl things.

No way.

Shut up.

A little like 18-month-old, dressed as a girl, introduced as Sophie,

and the woman gives her like little pink elephant to play with.

Shut up.

Who would have ever seen that coming?

I mean, who would have ever thought that girls and boys might like different things?

I

well, they don't, apparently.

It's just us.

I don't even know where to start on this one.

First of all, I know I couldn't have been the only one disturbed to see these poor little kids dressed up in clothes they're obviously not used to and then having strangers come in and repeatedly call them by some other name.

I mean, this is honestly borderline child abuse, isn't it?

Second of all.

Speaking of child abuse, what this video is attempting to do is to train parents to coerce their kids into not accepting who they are.

Letting little boys be little boys and little girls be little girls is not, as the BBC put it, conforming to a stereotype.

That's called nature.

Oh, these people piss me off.

Have they ever been around children before?

I mean, I'm sorry.

You could be my sister.

She grew up in the 60s and she's a hippie.

She claims not to be, but she's a hippie.

And she

said she moves out to Wyoming.

Okay, who moves out to Wyoming except hippies?

So, I mean, you know, from the Pacific Northwest, I just want to get away from it all.

Get away from it all?

It's, you know, it's 1980 Seattle.

There is no all in Seattle in 1980.

I want to get away from it all.

So she goes and gets away from it all.

And she decides when she's pregnant, she has a boy and she's not going to let them play with guns.

So, God forbid, Uncle Glenn comes and gives them, you know, a toy gun or a truck.

No, no, no.

She gave up on that after she found her boys playing in the backyard, you know, with sticks, playing cowboys, Indians, army.

It's boys.

That's what they do.

It's nature.

Now, the BBC claims to be advocating empowerment.

But I think they're advocating child abuse.

Every generation in the history of mankind has understood that males and females are different.

Does that make one superior over the other?

No.

But we need each other.

We're different.

But if they can make you doubt reality,

they can eventually make you believe in anything.

And that is what this is truly all about.

It's Monday, July 30th.

You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

I don't know about you.

I don't know any reason why I want to run to the movie theater and just escape.

I can't think of a single reason that makes you just want to turn off reality.

It's hard to, it's hard to be involved in it, isn't it?

It really is.

Really is.

Because, of course, I'm sure this is the same with you.

Every time you go do anything else,

everyone wants to talk to you about the news.

No, I don't really have any friends, so I don't.

Okay, no one wants to talk to you about anything.

But when I go do things, you know, you know, they know you work at a, you know, a show that talks about the news all the time, so they bring it up, just like you bring up their dentistry or whatever job they have, right?

Right.

Hey, how are the teeth?

How's the teeth thing working?

How's the enamel?

I mean, is that big enamel day?

What is it that you do, really?

Because everybody, I just had my teeth cleaned, and I went to the dentist, and I only saw you for about 10 seconds.

Somebody else did the x-ray, Somebody else cleaned.

You just walked in,

poked my gums with something, and went, you're looking good.

What do you do?

It's kind of like if I hosted the show and at the end, you came in and go, yep, you're right, Stu.

All right, we'll talk to you tomorrow.

And it's still a Glenn Beck program.

How does this work?

I don't know.

Right.

That's a good point.

Well, dentists have a great scam going on, but we digress.

You didn't think we'd uncover anything today.

Well, we have.

We have.

Yeah, we're doing our homework.

They're in the back with a nitrous.

That's where I'd be.

Oh, I felt like such a wimp.

I went to the doctor and I, you know, I had, when I was a kid, I had a doctor with the old style.

I mean, this is like, you know, you have to, you have to go back to old movies to even see these with the old style syringe that were, that was in the metal, you know, the metal body on it and the, you know, the two big rings on the end.

So he stuck a

needle in my gums and then let go and was like, oh, I forgot something.

And so the needle and the thing is just like, what?

Boing, boing, boing, boing, and snapped off.

And so he had to go dig it out of my mouth.

So anybody comes near me with a dentist.

What alley were you in that this doctor?

Oh, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know.

I bet you do know.

He left a needle hanging

from your gums and then it broke.

Oh, yeah, it was really.

I hope you got 10% off.

We still went to the dentist.

It was in those days where we're like, we're not going to see, oh, it's just Bob.

Yeah.

Well, yeah, Bob Bob should not be a dentist, mom and dad.

Anyway,

so

I'm sitting there and I am just, I'm just, I'm trying to be really, really cool.

And finally, the nurse is like, would you like some nitrous?

And I'm like, yes, please.

Yes, please.

It is.

I felt like such a weenie.

You're cleaning your teeth.

I am 100% on the Nitrous bandwagon.

This has been a huge change in my life recently.

And, you know, a lot of people come on the radio to talk about positive changes in their life.

This is a positive change in my life.

I'm doing a lot more nitrous.

It's great.

Every time I go to the dentist for any reason, I actually just really enjoy it.

I might stop by this afternoon just to make an appointment.

Exactly.

But I need nitrous to do it.

I know.

Some would say, that sounds like a drug problem.

It does.

It is.

It is.

But it's under doctor's supervision.

Exactly.

And here's the thing.

I mean, because I'm one of the people who, I keep keep what we're talking about this now.

I have,

I had a one bad experience at the dentist a long time ago.

Tell me about it.

Where like just something happened and it hit a nerve and it really hurt really badly.

So now every time I go to the dentist, all I think about is every single move in my mouth is going to do, it's going to recreate it.

Right, right.

Every time they come to me with anything in my mouth, I'm like, you're going to break that off in my gums.

Exactly.

It's irrational.

Let it go.

Completely irrational.

So I get nitrous every time I go to the dentist for any reason.

And, you know, 99% of the time it's, you know, cleaning.

Luckily, I've been to the dentist a lot, so I haven't had any tooth problems that are of any serious note.

But even for a normal cleaning, I am absolutely on board.

I don't wait until something happens.

I do it right off the bat.

In fact, I call ahead and I say, you know what?

Just to let you know, I know you never do this for anyone else.

And

they give me the little wuss treatment, too.

They're like, wait, you know this is just a cleaning, right?

I go, yes, I do.

And you know what?

You know this isn't covered by insurance.

Yes, I do.

Now bring out the drugs.

That's what I say.

And they'd roll the tank down there and they put me under, and it's fantastic.

So why is Nitrous not more popular?

I've asked the same question.

Right, why?

And also, I've asked, I may have done some research.

How do I get a tank in my home?

And you might have.

You might have done that.

You might have.

And so here's the thing.

Here's the issue.

How am I going to take it home?

Because I was thinking about it one day.

We had a group outing, a friend's birthday party this weekend.

And we went out, as adults tend to do, not included in this room,

had a few drinks and maybe a couple too many drinks on Friday night.

Saturday, I woke up and felt like hell.

Right.

You know, and that's not a big normal occurrence for me at this point in my life, but it does occasionally happen.

And I got, you know, this is what's so great about Nitrous.

You feel just as good as the greatest moment of that night drinking.

In a half an hour,

it's completely normal driving home.

It's insane.

And I think that's also the downside of it, though.

Because the only, you know, there's probably multiple downsides of it.

Don't call me if you're some scientist.

But

one of the downsides of it is, you know, 20 minutes after you pull this giant apparatus off your face,

you're no longer anywhere near the great moments of Nitrous.

Right.

Which, by the way, this broadcast brought to you by the makers of Nitrous.

Right.

Today.

But it's one of those things where it just fades so fast.

It's not a particularly viable recreational drug.

I have looked into this in that when you escalate usage, apparently,

unlike all other drugs, you need more and more to get the same sort of level and it becomes a little addictive.

But

the side effects, apparently, not that dramatic.

And that's why it's a popular.

I don't think you're thinking this through clearly enough.

Well, I am on nitrous.

You may not be thinking of it.

So you were saying, you know, you were saying, you know, we went out.

I mean,

it might knock down some of the, I don't know.

You know how everybody looks better when you're drunk.

Yes.

You know what I mean?

Everybody looks better.

I don't think wearing a little cup over your nose

and

having a hose and carrying around a tank in the back like you're an old man, you know, is really that.

Hey, so

what's happening with you?

First of all, this would not necessarily affect home usage.

Let's just be honest.

Let's tell the truth.

Let's tell the truth here.

But I have thought of this.

And again, what year is it?

Right?

It's 2018.

You're telling me we can't solve the face mask problem here?

There's got to be a solution to that.

Right.

Maybe you just inject it.

Again,

what if I walk around with a tank and a needle all day?

Right.

I mean, that would make this whole, all the media stuff feel so much better.

I really wouldn't mind a life on Nitrous.

It's pretty good.

It is pretty good.

And what is really remarkable and kind of sad is that it does go away the minute you stop.

You turn it off and you're like, no, don't.

Well, it fades slowly.

And then you're a little bit in a, I feel like I'm a little bit like cloudy.

Like, I wouldn't necessarily want to come do a show.

Yeah, I'm not going to have to operate a nuclear power plant, but I'll do this.

Yeah, I guess I mean, let it out.

Gosh, you guys aren't making any sense.

And what's the difference?

It's not like we're doing nuclear energy here.

Right.

I mean, here's the thing.

Most people, now, sure, there's a television network involved, but put that aside for a moment.

Most people hearing us right now are on the radio.

Okay.

Most people are taking in this show through audio only.

They wouldn't be able to necessarily see a face mask.

No, but it might change the sound.

Well, no, it's going over your nose.

So, so, Stu, tell me,

tell me about the debt problem.

Put it over your nose and try to do the debt problem joke.

See?

Okay, yeah, you wouldn't notice.

I mean, you would hear.

I mean, what I'm thinking, you would just hear

it would be a lot of fun.

And it would be weird.

There'd be a lot of those times on the air, too, where we would both just be staring into space, and one of us would go, hey, wait a minute.

What were we talking about?

Oh, remind you, this break started with something different.

I brought up dentist, and that's how we got here.

I know, I know.

So, you're thinking going to be more coherent?

I mean, I can't be less.

There's a good chance we improve.

Again, I should say better for Nitrous.

We should try it

for science's sake to see if the show is better if we brought Nitrous.

Oh, my gosh.

I don't think that.

I think that would be dangerous.

That probably, I mean, I think it would.

That would be dangerous.

We would need a chaperone.

Because I think you're right.

Someone has to have the power of just turning the mics off at some point.

There has to be somebody in control.

we should do this this always legitimizes things we should do this for charity yes

and raise money how long

how many minutes before the mic has to be shut off oh my god that would be because i have the the strangest thoughts uh when i'm in the dentist chair i create i constantly would create don't i just i'm just i just

Seriously, you know what I think about almost every time?

I'm like, why isn't Nitrous more popular?

I really, like, I want to start a business.

I don't, I don't, I just want to get in this line of work.

I don't know.

The only thing that has thought to me was it makes your car go fast and it makes you feel this way.

All right.

You had a point, by the way.

I don't remember what it is.

We should get back to that.

We'll try to remember what it is.

We'll take the masks off here in a minute.

All right.

I want to tell you about real estate agents I trust.

Tanya and I were trying to sell our house a few years ago, and we were up in Connecticut.

And by the way, have you seen the housing prices in Connecticut?

Holy cow.

Sorry, it's this night.

It's the nitrous.

It's the nitrous.

No, why?

Bad.

Really?

Yeah.

Bad.

It's weird.

I mean, I looked recently at my houses up north that we owned around the time of the Great Recession.

We owned two houses, moved a couple of times.

But both of those houses, according to like Zillow, have not recovered to the place that we sold them.

Yeah, me too.

Which is we sold ours in eight or yeah, 2008, I think, and still hasn't recovered, you know.

Anyway,

so we had a really hard time selling the house

and we needed a real estate agent that could really get the job done.

Well, we've done a lot of research and thinking since then

because it can't be that hard.

I mean, who do you hire?

Who do you hire?

How do you know who to hire

that's going to sell your house on time for the most amount of money, who has the right marketing plan.

Who do you do?

What do you do?

You just trust an ad that you've seen?

We have great agents that are in this long term.

They are the best in your area.

They have the best marketing plan.

They have the most amount of experience.

And their track record is the best.

Okay.

They will help you every step of the way to get your house sold on time and for the most amount of money.

You'll find them at realestateagentsitrust.com.

You want to sell your home?

Realestateagentsitrust.com.

Go there now.

This is a disturbing conversation.

We've just stumbled into here with the good news.

New business line, Glenn.

I don't think this sounds wrong.

You got internet delay.

You got TV, you got radio, you got books, and you got nitrous.

I mean, I'm willing to head out to this.

How come this isn't a bigger problem?

I mean, this is much better than opioids.

Because there's not the downside of it.

That's the big thing.

You wake up the next, you're legitimately an hour later completely.

It's got to like burn your brain out or something.

It does.

Not according to the cracked magazine.

Oh, well, cracked magazine.

Yeah, cracked had did a big expose on this to talk about the long-term effects.

And

so it's not illegal.

It's not illegal.

No.

You can use it.

So why isn't it being used by, I mean,

seriously, why isn't, why, why would you do opioids?

We're 20 minutes into this, probably time for the disclaimer that you should not actually do nitrous like this.

Right, right, right, right.

There is an issue where some people get to, it's not addictive per se, but it is one of those things where if you really like the feeling.

Oh, it's mentally addictive.

And yeah, it's one of those things that if you get into that pattern, you can start to want to do so much.

But there's stories of people who want to do 100, 200, 300 hits of it a day.

And that's how it's easily acquirable, my understanding.

I would just want one.

A lot of research.

It started the morning when I got up and ended when I went to sleep.

See, I'm thinking like, I'm thinking, like, I go to the movie, I go to see Tom Cruise's movie, right?

I'm going to see Mission Impossible.

I bring along my Nitrous tank.

I wheel it down the aisle.

I sit on the end.

I pop it on and watch a nice movie.

It'll be great.

And then I get up and I drive home.

I mean, this is an enjoyable movie.

I am serious.

Why is this not done by people?

I think it is done by people, but I don't know what to do.

But why would you do tank?

Why would you do crack?

Why would you do, you know, what is the drug, the popular drug, makes your teeth rot in your

Meth.

Why would you do any of that?

Why not go to Nitrous?

I mean, you can order it easily online in

the form.

No, I'm serious.

I mean, I'm not, you know, this isn't healthy conversation coming from an alcoholic, but, you know, if you're going to meth,

wouldn't you think?

Well, this is probably better.

First of all, I could stop by Nitrous anytime.

I just don't want to try to take off.

So I don't.

I'm in full control.

But no, I think it's because

it's so short.

I think that's the issue.

Wesley in Ohio.

Hello, Wesley.

You're on the Glen Bay program.

Glenn, privileged to talk with you.

I talked to your screener about the nitrous in a car is different than the food-grade nitrous that you're breathing.

Good thing I have.

Good thing I haven't tried to take a hit out of a car.

It's found in the

spray whipped cream in the can.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That same nitrous is in that can.

That's what propels and causes the expansion of the cream.

So if you hold the can upright and you ingest it, breathe in that.

I know those are called

whippets, right?

That's called whipping.

That's not a good thing.

No, it's

this.

It's the same nitrous as what you're talking about.

But what's the difference between the nitrous there and the nitrous in the car?

We've only had 30 seconds.

I know I'm into the car business.

I do not know the difference, but I wouldn't take any nitrous from a car.

Well, no, I wouldn't.

No,

I wouldn't either.

i wouldn't either even if you were a doctor and said it was okay i wouldn't do that but i appreciate it all right thanks wesley back in just a second

so i went to see the tom cruise movie this weekend

It is, now I'm a big fan of Tom Cruise.

I'm a big fan of Mission Impossible series, but I think each of the Mission Impossibles are getting better as they go.

It's like the opposite of what, you know, sequels used to be.

It does seem that way.

I didn't like the early ones that much.

And the last couple have been really good, I thought.

I did, but when you watch them, because the family we watched over the last, you know, four weeks, we'd watch One Mission Impossible building up to this.

And so we've seen all of them, and they're getting better.

This one is the best by far.

It is just a rocket ride the entire time.

And what makes this more impressive is the fact that he did all of his own stunts.

I mean, he learned how to fly a helicopter in a corkscrew dive, which is one of the hardest things to do.

He learned it in like three months.

That's really him flying.

That's really him climbing the rope.

That's really him on the motorcycle, 120 miles an hour with oncoming traffic.

in Paris.

And they were filming it and they had some safety device on the bike and everything else.

And they couldn't get the shot.

And Tom said, just take it off.

Just let me do it.

And they're like, I don't.

No,

don't think so.

Just take it off.

And they took it off.

So that's

every stunt you see, he's doing.

He's not doing, there's no.

Not that I know of.

This is from what I have heard.

Everything that you see his face on, there's no superimposing, but you see him on the rock, you know, on the cliff face.

you see him you know falling out of airplanes and he and he hurt it he broke his ankle right i don't know because at one point he had to do the air the jumping out of the airplane scene a hundred six times oh my god he had to jump from the plane a hundred and six times to get the shot right oh you got to be incredible yeah i that kind of attention to detail that's you know it's why he makes 25 or 30 million a movie nice i'm telling you though he's incredible and you know what i think he is you know we all really liked tom cruise and then he jumped on Oprah's couch, and everybody's like, he's a freak.

And I think that's, I think he's officially put that away.

It feels that way.

You know, he's just that likable Tom Cruise guy again, you know?

And he's just, he just seems like a good guy.

And then,

oh, he's, I mean, geez, he's, what, 56, 57?

56.

Look at him.

Look at him.

He's a sexy man.

He's still a sexy man.

Yeah, he is.

He is.

It's not the nitrous talking.

He's still a sexy sexy man.

I mean, you watch him run in some of the scenes.

He'll be running on jumping on rooftops.

That's where he broke his ankle.

And you'll see him running and jumping off of these rooftops in London.

And

he's running like he's 20.

I mean, the guy just has power.

It's amazing.

It is amazing.

Yeah.

And his career is amazing.

You know, we were just talking about some of the movies he's done in the past.

Almost all of them are super enjoyable.

Really great.

I mean, there's a very few exceptions.

All the way back.

Eyes Wide Shut.

Eyes Wide Shut and Vanilla Sky would be right out of the side.

Those are probably exceptions.

I didn't see either of them, but I hear they're not

good.

I mean, Interview with a Vampire.

No, that wasn't good.

But you think about Top Gun, Minority Report.

Great.

Oh, yeah.

Valkyrie.

Valkyrie.

Valkyrie's.

That's one of those movies that if it's on, I have to watch it.

I don't know what it is.

So great.

You have to watch it.

You have to watch it.

It's a rule.

But I mean, American Made came out last year.

It was really good.

Really good.

It wasn't one of those movies that tons of people saw, but it was really good.

It should have.

It was really good.

It was true story.

About an American drug dealer?

No, CIA.

It was how the CIA was trying to, you know,

use

Manuel Yunoriega and the drug lords to, I don't even remember what.

Yeah, it was really good, though.

It was really good.

Edge of Tomorrow.

That was good.

Is that a die, rinse, repeat, or whatever that is?

Live, die, repeat.

Live, die, repeat.

They changed the name after the theater run for some reason.

It's weird.

But that's how I know it.

What is it?

It was Edge of Tomorrow initially.

At the movie theater, I went to see Edge of Tomorrow, and then Lived I Repeat is on demand.

It's strange.

I think they've never seen that happen.

I think they released it internationally, maybe as Lived I Repeat.

Really?

And then

their big thoughts weren't that.

That's the reason why it didn't do ⁇ and it did $100 million, but for a Tom Cruise movie, that's not all that much.

And they think that just people didn't know what the heck it was about.

They thought the Edge of Tomorrow just didn't Yeah, it didn't do all that.

I mean, it did well, but not fantastic.

It was good.

And I thought it was really good.

I really liked it.

I really liked it.

Yeah.

I mean,

he's had a couple.

I mean, Rock of Ages was kind of a disaster.

Sort of the Def Leopard story.

Didn't see that.

Right.

Yeah.

I didn't hurt.

He didn't.

Plus, that was on Broadway for

a long time.

Yeah.

That?

He was in that?

Yeah.

Uh-huh.

Wow.

That just doesn't seem like a good decision.

But there's been a lot of big movies in the Tom Cruise career.

I don't know if we're breaking news by saying that, but he's had a

decent run.

Oh, God.

I mean, you want to go back that far.

Great movie.

He's in the 4th of July, of course.

I mean, he is really.

A few good men.

The firm.

I mean, these are Jerry Maguire.

Oh, they didn't even know my own favorites.

I love Jerry Maguire.

I mean, there's a lot there.

War of the Worlds.

Yeah.

Wow, he's probably our generation

Jimino.

Who would he be?

He's got to be the biggest movie star, right?

I mean, there was a time where, like, you had Tom Hanks was in that discussion, right?

Like, Will Smith, I mean, Denzel Washington.

There's a certain amount of money.

Yeah, there's no discussion.

I don't know if there's anything.

Tom Hanks.

Tom Hanks was that guy, and he still is a huge movie star, but he's not still going.

Right.

You know, he's still not making those blockbuster hits.

Well, was the post big?

The post was pretty big, right?

Yeah, that wasn't initially.

Yeah, and it wasn't a

Tom Hanks view.

It was Meryl Streep more than anything else, which was probably the mistake they made.

Let's be honest about it.

Throw that junk in the middle of a movie, of course.

I love it when your Meryl Streep hatred comes to the surface.

I mean, it didn't make money in the theater.

$81 million on a $50 million.

Oh, wow.

It was a good movie, though.

It really was a good movie.

Yeah, they just put Meryl Streep in it, so it's not going to do that well.

But is it slanted?

Is it like...

No, I thought it was unbelievably.

It's one of those movies that

you're looking at the people like Meryl Streep and you're like, do you understand the words that are coming out of your mouth?

Oh, really?

Oh, yeah.

It's like, you know, at one point they're sitting around talking about, you know, we gave Jack Kennedy a pass

and he's the guy who started all this.

Why?

He used us.

We shouldn't be friends with a president.

We should be objective the whole time.

And as they're saying it, you're like,

yes.

Hello.

It's amazing.

It's amazing.

Because I've avoided it for that reason.

I thought, ah, that's.

No, it's actually, I didn't think so.

I thought it was pretty good.

I thought it was pretty good.

People are, I guess this is a big thing going around Twitter right now.

Apparently, I don't know, true?

That Tom Cruise is older

than Wilfred Brimley was in Cocoon?

Yes.

He's currently older than Wilfred Brimley was in Cocoon.

No.

That's impossible.

It's not.

That's not.

Impossible.

It's not.

I mean, he's jumping off.

He's jumping out of planes.

That's not the same guy.

Well, I mean.

Wilford Brimley and Tom Cruise.

No.

Completely different guys at 56.

And

Kelly McGillis pictures that have been tossed around.

I mean, I feel bad.

Oh, I do too.

But

it's not a flattering shot of her

to begin with.

Would you like to make that a little more accurate?

Because if you haven't seen this, that's a very kind statement.

It's a 1980, what was it, 86 and 2018 back to, you know, four pictures total.

The two pictures at the top are the original, it's actually one picture, but the original picture of Cruz and Kelly McGillison top gun.

And then they show both of them today.

Cruz looks identical to what he looked like.

He's only a little thicker.

He's not fat, muscle.

He's just, yeah, he's just thickened out some.

And then she looks like

everybody else, I guess, would after a long run.

You know, she looks like Ben, you don't mean run like,

no, it's 40 years ago.

It looks like she's been, you know, she's aged.

She's aged like we have over 36 years.

Exactly.

Yes.

It's not a knock on her as much as it's a compliment to him, I think.

Well, look at everybody in that cast.

Have you seen Val Kilmer?

Oh, yeah.

Well, Val's had his issues.

Wow.

Yeah.

I mean, I'm looking up pictures of Val Kilmer, and I'm feeling good about me.

Wow.

I heard Val has

slimmed back down a little bit.

I've heard that as well.

Because he was going after the, and I think he's in it.

He's in the new Top Gun.

Is he?

I think so, because I heard initially he wasn't, but then I saw that he was.

So I'm not sure which is accurate.

Everybody's excited for the new Top Gun.

Oh, I love Top Gun.

You didn't like Top Gun?

Yeah, it was a

guy.

Are you a communist?

How could you not have liked Top Gun?

No, I liked Ronald Reagan.

Okay.

I liked Ronald Reagan.

I mean, Top Gun.

Exactly.

That's what a man would watch Top Gun, right?

And then

we were explaining that.

That's true.

Wait a minute.

Wait.

Hold it.

You know what I'm saying?

I think.

No, I kind of get what I mean.

I think you're trying to say I'm not a man.

Oh, yeah.

No, it was pretty obvious, I guess.

In retrospect, I wasn't really.

There's no mail there.

Okay, got it.

Get out.

Get out.

Both of you.

Get out.

Oh, cool.

I can believe you.

No, punishment.

You stay.

Well, we have to

we have to have our thoughts and prayers with

a woman who is remaining nameless in the story because of the tragedy that has befallen her.

She was

24 years old.

She just got married to a 26-year-old guy, and they had been married less than a year.

And she started to think, you know,

there's something going on.

Something's not right here.

She said, my husband was distant all of a sudden.

He wasn't around.

There was little conversation.

He started to disappear.

He said he was having to stay late at work, and then he had to travel away from work, yada, yada, yada.

And

so she called investigators and some private eyes, and they saw the physical signs.

They said, you know,

she got them.

There's changes in dress, coming home later and later.

You know, when guys take their cell phones everywhere with them and they leave it face down,

the investigator said, these are all the warning signs.

He could be messing around.

So they went out and they did surveillance on her

or on him.

And

she said, I put a lot of guilt on myself.

You know, I couldn't understand, you know, what I was hearing and seeing.

I mean, what had happened.

And then they returned with video footage.

And when

she saw who the woman was,

she said, well, it was a total fog of disbelief.

Apparently, her husband had been a frequent visitor to dating websites offering trysts, and

they had uncovered that he had registered with several dating websites.

She kind of suspected that, though.

Yeah.

And

so they followed him to one of these trysts, and

they had the videotape of him at 26 making it with a mother of two and a grandmother of four.

She's 72 years old.

That probably was surprising.

I would.

Not the way you necessarily.

Are you an ageist?

No, I just think, you know.

Why was that busy surprising?

What?

Old people can't enjoy and be at the prime of their.

They certainly can.

Yes.

They certainly can.

Right.

You know?

I just think that maybe it was surprising.

It's just the distance of the drive, you know, just to get all the way out there.

You know, that's.

And probably the distance of

the sag, too,

you know, potentially that was

maybe a little shocking.

It's a little, I mean, look, well, you know, we've all,

there's many movies now that come out about this.

Like,

what's the one,

Last Vegas?

I think they've been trying to make Last Vegas like every three months for the past several years.

I've never even heard of it.

Oh, really?

It's like every aging celebrity goes to Vegas together.

Oh, okay, yeah.

It's like one of those type of movies.

So, I mean, you know, look, there's there's documentary evidence here that

you do some really fun things.

Well, apparently, this isn't the only 72-year-old woman that he has been with.

So, he's got a sexual preference, Glenn.

Right.

And you know what?

I don't know if you're criticizing his preference.

And

I hope not.

It bodes well for her future.

You know, a lot of women, as they get older, they're like, my husband's going to find some younger.

Nope.

Not him.

This is the reverse.

The older you get, the more chance you have of him being turned on by you, apparently.

So.

Longevity, the secret of life.

Yeah, a long-lasting relationship there being built.

It's wonderful.

She said she hasn't divorced him yet.

She said,

I want to quote this one.

She said, it's a difficult time at the moment.

But it can be great to get rid of somebody so toxic in your life.

So I think

she's made the decision to dump him.

She's leaning a direction.

She's leaning in that direction, you know, when you're called toxic, uh,

you know.

But hey, so if you're 72,

check out the websites because, you know, there just might be some 26-year-old hardbody that is

interested.

Glenn, back.

Mercury.
