• 0:28
  On Ukraine and Israel,
• 0:30
  I know
• 0:31
  you've been starved for news about Karine Jean-Pierre,
• 0:34
  but we
• 0:35
  have no fear.
• 0:36
  We have an amazing update for you today.
• 0:40
  You're going to love it.
• 0:40
  But we're going to start by doing climate homicide and
• 0:44
  Yeah,
• 0:45
  you might be tuning into the show and say,
• 0:46
  uh,
• 0:47
  today and be like,
• 0:47
  hey,
• 0:48
  uh,
• 0:48
  is this gonna be a good show?
• 0:49
  And
• 0:50
  look,
• 0:50
  I don't know,
• 0:51
  frankly.
• 0:51
  I mean,
• 0:52
  it could suck completely.
• 0:53
  I,
• 0:53
  I,
• 0:54
  it could be the worst show we ever do.
• 0:56
  You don't know
• 0:57
  when you start a show if it's gonna be the worst show
• 0:59
  you've ever done or not.
• 1:00
  However,
• 1:01
  what I can promise
• 1:02
  is Climate Homicide will be better
• 1:04
  than 2003's Hollywood Homicide,
• 1:07
  starring Harrison Ford and Josh Hartnett.
• 1:09
  That I know.
• 1:10
  Two hours for that thing.
• 1:12
  I mean that was a slog,
• 1:14
  uh,
• 1:14
  but,
• 1:14
  uh,
• 1:14
  2 hours for Hollywood Homicide,
• 1:16
  we're going to pull this off in like I don't know,
• 1:17
  15 minutes or so,
• 1:18
  OK.
• 1:19
  So,
• 1:19
  Climate homicide,
• 1:20
  different than Hollywood Homicide,
• 1:22
  a terrible movie.
• 1:23
  Uh,
• 1:24
  Climate homicide,
• 1:25
  we're going to go back to 2023.
• 1:27
  And Climate homicide,
• 1:28
  there was a big report that came out from,
• 1:31
  you know,
• 1:31
  left-wing academia.
• 1:33
  It was called Climate Homicide,
• 1:35
  Prosecuting Big Oil for Climate Deaths.
• 1:38
  This is from the Harvard Environmental Law Review,
• 1:41
  Volume 48.
• 1:43
  Number one,
• 1:43
  so go back through your collection,
• 1:45
  I'm sure
• 1:46
  and check out that issue that you definitely have
• 1:49
  on your shelf.
• 1:50
  This was kind of one of the,
• 1:51
  it's probably the most influential piece
• 1:54
  of propaganda in this particular form,
• 1:56
  trying to encourage people.
• 1:58
  Let me read a quick part of this for you.
• 2:01
  The article finds that in jurisdictions across the United States,
• 2:05
  fossil fuel companies could be prosecuted for every type of homicide
• 2:10
  short of first.
• 2:11
  murder,
• 2:12
  a charge it does not evaluate.
• 2:13
  It would be hard
• 2:15
  for the climate
• 2:16
  to have
• 2:17
  predetermined murder,
• 2:19
  but you know
• 2:20
  they might have those aspirations.
• 2:21
  We don't know.
• 2:21
  It also concludes that prosecutions could offer highly effective
• 2:25
  remedies that prosecutors could be motivated to seek.
• 2:28
  They should be motivated to seek them.
• 2:29
  So
• 2:30
  get that
• 2:31
  basically,
• 2:32
  hey,
• 2:32
  we can find a way for climate deaths to be prosecuted as homicide
• 2:36
  basically under every jurisdiction in America as long
• 2:38
  as you don't say it's first degree murder.
• 2:40
  And then in addition to that,
• 2:43
  You guys should know these will be good remedies for the policies that we want,
• 2:47
  right,
• 2:48
  and they should pursue them.
• 2:50
  So
• 2:50
  you're going to be shocked to hear
• 2:52
  they are pursuing them.
• 2:53
  Here we are just a couple of years later.
• 2:55
  Climate homicide is the term that they're using.
• 2:59
  This is a new front for ridiculous lawfares,
• 3:01
  according to National Review Dan McLaughlin,
• 3:03
  and this is a good description.
• 3:05
  Of what they're going for here.
• 3:07
  The model is lawsuits against the cigarette companies.
• 3:10
  Of course individuals smoke cigarettes sold by particular companies.
• 3:13
  You can see how that would have a straight line.
• 3:15
  The theory here
• 3:16
  is that the fossil fuel companies have injured everyone
• 3:20
  in the entire world
• 3:22
  now
• 3:23
  and in the future
• 3:24
  by means of any business operations with any customers with a chain of
• 3:29
  causation running through the atmosphere and the climate of the entire planet.
• 3:33
  So this makes
• 3:34
  Perfect sense.
• 3:36
  How could anyone even
• 3:37
  doubt it?
• 3:38
  It is completely ridiculous,
• 3:39
  but those
• 3:40
  cases are now popping up.
• 3:42
  Oil companies are sued over the death of a woman
• 3:44
  in a 2021
• 3:46
  heat wave.
• 3:47
  Let me give you some of the,
• 3:48
  uh,
• 3:48
  features of this as reported by The New York Times.
• 3:50
  As an unusual heat dome sent temperatures in the Pacific Northwest soaring to 108
• 3:55
  °F on June 28th,
• 3:57
  2021.
• 3:58
  Juliana Leon pulled her car over and rolled down the windows,
• 4:01
  overwhelmed by the heat.
• 4:03
  Hours later,
• 4:03
  when emergency medical workers reached Ms Leon,
• 4:07
  she had died of hypothermia or overheating.
• 4:10
  Her eternal body temperature was 110
• 4:12
  °F,
• 4:13
  according to court documents.
• 4:14
  Very sad story.
• 4:15
  Ms.
• 4:16
  Leon's daughter Misty
• 4:17
  has sued seven oil and gas companies claiming wrongful death.
• 4:21
  Hm
• 4:23
  suit alleges that they failed to warn the public
• 4:25
  of the dangers of the planet warming emissions produced
• 4:28
  by their products and that they funded decade-long campaigns
• 4:31
  to obscure the scientific consensus on global warming.
• 4:34
  Experts said
• 4:35
  in Ms.
• 4:37
  Leon's case filed in state court in Washington.
• 4:39
  It's the first time that fossil fuel companies have ever been sued
• 4:42
  over the death of an individual as a
• 4:44
  result of conditions caused by man-made climate change.
• 4:46
  There's probably a good reason for that.
• 4:48
  The companies named in the complaint are ExxonMobil,
• 4:51
  Chevron,
• 4:52
  Shell,
• 4:52
  BP,
• 4:53
  ConocoPhillips,
• 4:54
  Phillips 66,
• 4:55
  and Olympic Pipeline Company,
• 4:57
  a subsidiary managed
• 4:58
  by BP,
• 4:59
  and the complaint.
• 5:01
  Leon's attorneys
• 5:02
  lay out a well established set of facts that the oil and gas
• 5:06
  companies knew for decades that their products
• 5:08
  would dangerously alter the planet's atmosphere.
• 5:11
  Again,
• 5:12
  all this just popped out there as if it's complete fact
• 5:14
  that they continued to produce those products despite knowing the risks
• 5:18
  and that they worked to suppress public awareness of these dangers.
• 5:21
  Of course you might be thinking like,
• 5:24
  The,
• 5:24
  the,
• 5:25
  the kind of the influential paper on this was written in 2023,
• 5:28
  so it's kind of weird that 2021 death would be the,
• 5:32
  the,
• 5:33
  the target for this,
• 5:34
  right?
• 5:34
  Like,
• 5:35
  how did that even happen?
• 5:36
  Well,
• 5:37
  the New York Times in paragraph like 974,
• 5:40
  uh,
• 5:40
  it kind of hints hints to this,
• 5:41
  and it's like,
• 5:42
  well,
• 5:42
  was this family,
• 5:43
  like,
• 5:43
  gosh,
• 5:44
  the climate has killed my daughter.
• 5:46
  I'm going to wait 4 years and put a lawsuit out there.
• 5:49
  That's of course not how it happened.
• 5:50
  Ms.
• 5:51
  Leon was first approached in late 2023.
• 5:55
  By a nonprofit group,
• 5:56
  the Center for Climate Integrity,
• 6:00
  which helps assemble and promote cases against big oil and gas companies.
• 6:03
  So this is just the left wing,
• 6:04
  you know,
• 6:05
  typical
• 6:06
  operation here,
• 6:07
  right?
• 6:08
  Uh,
• 6:08
  well funded,
• 6:08
  and to go after these companies,
• 6:10
  they're,
• 6:10
  they're doing it in this very
• 6:11
  sketchy way.
• 6:12
  This is the lawsuit,
• 6:14
  and it is,
• 6:15
  it is lengthy,
• 6:16
  but it is frivolous as well,
• 6:18
  and it's frivolous for a bunch of reasons.
• 6:19
  You might be thinking,
• 6:20
  OK,
• 6:20
  well this woman,
• 6:22
  she's,
• 6:22
  you know,
• 6:23
  so hot.
• 6:24
  That she pulls over her car and rolls down her windows,
• 6:27
  which is obviously a very strange thing to do in that particular situation,
• 6:31
  but OK,
• 6:31
  they're,
• 6:33
  I mean she was just so hot,
• 6:34
  maybe she was delusional,
• 6:35
  she was so hot.
• 6:36
  Uh,
• 6:36
  and this poor normal average everyday woman in a normal
• 6:40
  average everyday circumstance was just killed by the heat.
• 6:43
  OK.
• 6:44
  Not,
• 6:44
  not exactly the way that it went down.
• 6:46
  Ryan Mao on Twitter,
• 6:48
  uh,
• 6:48
  goes through this,
• 6:49
  uh,
• 6:49
  and he says this is a frivolous lawsuit.
• 6:52
  Uh,
• 6:52
  but an excellent test for climate attribution pseudoscience in the courtroom.
• 6:56
  The New York Times fails to mention
• 6:58
  that the car's air conditioner broke.
• 7:01
  That's kind of a
• 7:02
  big deal.
• 7:03
  The weather forecast,
• 7:04
  by the way,
• 7:05
  clearly detailed the day's high temperatures,
• 7:08
  so this is not a surprise hot day.
• 7:10
  This was a known,
• 7:13
  uh,
• 7:13
  very hot day,
• 7:14
  and it was,
• 7:14
  it was well over 100 degrees.
• 7:17
  But again,
• 7:17
  how do most people survive those temperatures?
• 7:20
  They use their air conditioner.
• 7:21
  Well,
• 7:21
  when your car's air conditioner breaks,
• 7:23
  you are definitely going to be more susceptible to such a thing.
• 7:27
  Now from the complaint,
• 7:27
  the plaintiff argues that the heat wave conditions would have been both
• 7:31
  virtually impossible
• 7:33
  without climate change
• 7:34
  and
• 7:35
  also.
• 7:37
  Less severe or impactful.
• 7:39
  So either virtually,
• 7:40
  it can't be both virtually impossible and just less severe or impactful.
• 7:45
  You can't argue both.
• 7:46
  You've got to pick one.
• 7:47
  The extreme weather event as defined would not have happened versus
• 7:51
  the weather event that did occur was more severe because of climate change.
• 7:54
  You can't have both of those arguments at the same time,
• 7:56
  which is of course obviously true.
• 7:58
  Sadly,
• 7:58
  the woman overheated in her car after returning from a doctor's appointment
• 8:02
  for.
• 8:02
  Bariatric surgery from 2 weeks prior,
• 8:05
  so she had just gone through a very traumatic event with her body.
• 8:08
  She was quite vulnerable to heat stroke,
• 8:10
  and of course the car's AC broke.
• 8:12
  Roadway temperatures are much more extreme,
• 8:15
  and rolling down windows at over 100 degrees would not help.
• 8:19
  So again,
• 8:19
  you think about,
• 8:20
  think about how hot it is
• 8:22
  on a road in that type of temperature,
• 8:23
  like
• 8:24
  pulling over,
• 8:25
  you're on pavement,
• 8:26
  you've rolled your windows down.
• 8:27
  It's not going to be helpful,
• 8:28
  it's going to be an ugly,
• 8:29
  ugly situation,
• 8:30
  and unfortunately,
• 8:31
  you know,
• 8:32
  the,
• 8:32
  the heat did take this,
• 8:33
  this woman's life.
• 8:34
  A woman though that had been through a very traumatic health
• 8:37
  uh situation.
• 8:38
  Uh,
• 8:38
  anyway,
• 8:38
  the Daily Wire also covered this.
• 8:40
  The New York Times covers crazy climate change lawsuit targeting oil companies,
• 8:44
  but it leaves out key evidence as they note,
• 8:46
  not only she'd had the surgery,
• 8:48
  she hadn't eaten any food
• 8:50
  in 2 weeks.
• 8:53
  Which again would probably make you
• 8:55
  very vulnerable.
• 8:56
  She had been in a liquid diet because of the bariatric surgery.
• 8:59
  Now,
• 9:00
  if you've ever,
• 9:00
  we did this a while ago.
• 9:02
  In New York when,
• 9:03
  uh,
• 9:03
  when,
• 9:04
  when,
• 9:04
  uh,
• 9:04
  Glenn,
• 9:05
  uh,
• 9:05
  was running the company up in,
• 9:07
  in New York.
• 9:08
  And we had,
• 9:08
  you know,
• 9:09
  the,
• 9:09
  the big office and,
• 9:10
  and Glenn looked around the office and said,
• 9:11
  wow,
• 9:11
  you guys are all
• 9:12
  almost as fat as I am.
• 9:14
  We should do a juice cleanse.
• 9:16
  And Glenn bought
• 9:18
  everybody this New York juice cleanse.
• 9:20
  I,
• 9:21
  I mean,
• 9:21
  he's probably still paying the bill off
• 9:23
  at this point.
• 9:24
  And so they gave you,
• 9:25
  it was like 3 or 4,
• 9:26
  maybe it was 5 juices a day,
• 9:28
  and that's all you could eat.
• 9:29
  And you had a different one in the morning,
• 9:30
  you had a different one during the day,
• 9:31
  and everyone was,
• 9:33
  was on this,
• 9:33
  that,
• 9:33
  that,
• 9:34
  well,
• 9:35
  everyone was on it the first day,
• 9:36
  um,
• 9:37
  or at least for the first juice,
• 9:38
  and then they realized,
• 9:39
  first of all,
• 9:39
  it tasted terribly,
• 9:40
  and secondly,
• 9:41
  uh,
• 9:42
  they wanted food.
• 9:43
  So lots of people bailed on this,
• 9:45
  um,
• 9:45
  even despite that all the juice was already purchased,
• 9:48
  so there's just like leftover awful green juices in the
• 9:51
  fridge for weeks and weeks and weeks after this incident,
• 9:53
  um,
• 9:54
  but like.
• 9:55
  I just remember being on it and and I actually
• 9:57
  lasted through it because I like to torture myself and I
• 10:00
  got through the whole thing and as you can see it
• 10:01
  made me perfectly healthy for the rest of my life.
• 10:04
  It cleansed all of those toxins out of my body and now I'm perfectly fine,
• 10:09
  um,
• 10:09
  but uh it was funny because
• 10:12
  you,
• 10:12
  it felt,
• 10:13
  you felt like off,
• 10:15
  you know,
• 10:15
  and you felt like,
• 10:17
  oh my gosh,
• 10:17
  like I felt like I was starving myself every day is what it felt like honestly.
• 10:21
  And in some ways I guess you kind of are in a very,
• 10:24
  very small way,
• 10:26
  um,
• 10:26
  but you fell off and like going through a liquid diet like that
• 10:30
  can be a real issue for people.
• 10:32
  It kind of makes you feel off anyway.
• 10:34
  Add that to no air conditioning,
• 10:35
  108 degrees on pavement,
• 10:38
  uh,
• 10:38
  bariatric surgery,
• 10:39
  I mean,
• 10:40
  obviously you normally have that
• 10:41
  for being overweight,
• 10:43
  so that could play into it too.
• 10:44
  Bottom line is
• 10:45
  a lot of circumstances played into this.
• 10:47
  It's hard to imagine it was climate change.
• 10:49
  It was anywhere near the top of the list,
• 10:51
  in fact.
• 10:52
  Uh,
• 10:52
  when you look at the facts of the matter,
• 10:54
  it doesn't seem like it was anywhere near the list.
• 10:57
  Uh,
• 10:57
  this is a study of the Pacific Northwest heat wave of 25 to 30 June 2021.
• 11:02
  Um,
• 11:03
  it's a study on how did this happen
• 11:06
  in a,
• 11:06
  in a scientific journal.
• 11:08
  And uh this is weather and forecasting,
• 11:10
  by the way,
• 11:10
  go to your bookshelf real quick.
• 11:12
  Volume 39,
• 11:13
  issue two.
• 11:14
  OK,
• 11:14
  Volume 39,
• 11:16
  issue two.
• 11:18
  Make sure you don't pick out issue 3.
• 11:19
  I almost nothing.
• 11:21
  There was almost nothing in there.
• 11:22
  It was terrible.
• 11:22
  It was like Godfather 3.
• 11:23
  It was awful,
• 11:24
  just awful.
• 11:25
  Um,
• 11:26
  several factors came together to produce this extreme event.
• 11:29
  A record breaking
• 11:30
  mid tropospheric ridge
• 11:33
  over British Columbia in the optimal location,
• 11:36
  record breaking mid tropospheric temperatures,
• 11:39
  strong subsidience in the lower atmosphere,
• 11:41
  low
• 11:42
  level easterly flow that produced downslope warning.
• 11:47
  On regional terrain and the removal of cooler marine air
• 11:51
  and in approaching
• 11:52
  low level
• 11:53
  trough that enhanced downslope flow,
• 11:57
  the occurrence at a time
• 11:58
  of maximum insulation
• 12:01
  and drier
• 12:02
  than normal soil
• 12:04
  moisture,
• 12:04
  and I,
• 12:05
  I,
• 12:05
  I read that and I know it's just
• 12:07
  in your head already because you've already obviously read
• 12:09
  Volume 39.
• 12:11
  You know,
• 12:12
  uh,
• 12:12
  issue too,
• 12:12
  so many times,
• 12:14
  it's just like,
• 12:14
  why are you repeating that again,
• 12:15
  but I want to make sure for people who don't subscribe,
• 12:17
  there's probably a few people
• 12:20
  right now
• 12:21
  in this audience that do not subscribe to weather and forecasting
• 12:24
  and didn't get volume 39,
• 12:26
  uh,
• 12:26
  issue 2,
• 12:27
  or maybe there's just a male issue,
• 12:29
  right?
• 12:29
  Like you might,
• 12:29
  you might be a subscriber like they never sent me
• 12:32
  volume 39 issue 2.
• 12:34
  By the way,
• 12:35
  if you do contact weather and forecasting,
• 12:37
  they will send that to you.
• 12:39
  I think you have to deal with the customer service.
• 12:41
  Anyway,
• 12:41
  it goes on to say it has shown that
• 12:43
  all-time record temperatures have not become more frequent,
• 12:47
  and that the annual high temperatures only increase
• 12:49
  at the rate of baseline global warming,
• 12:52
  although anthropogenic
• 12:54
  warming may have contributed as much as
• 12:56
  one degree.
• 12:58
  Celsius
• 13:00
  to the event,
• 13:00
  there is little evidence of further
• 13:02
  amplification from increasing greenhouse gasses.
• 13:05
  Weather forecasts were excellent for the event,
• 13:08
  highly accurate predictions
• 13:09
  of the extreme temperatures,
• 13:11
  and it summarizes it this way,
• 13:12
  there is no
• 13:14
  evidence
• 13:15
  that greenhouse warming resulted in the amplification of key elements of the 2021
• 13:20
  heat wave.
• 13:21
  So
• 13:21
  you go through this and you say,
• 13:22
  all right.
• 13:23
  Wait a minute.
• 13:24
  First of all,
• 13:24
  they say there's a maximum of a 1
• 13:27
  °C,
• 13:27
  so you're talking about instead of
• 13:29
  108,
• 13:30
  it may have only been the high 106s
• 13:34
  at the time of this particular incident.
• 13:36
  I'm pretty sure that was,
• 13:38
  uh,
• 13:38
  probably pretty hot too.
• 13:40
  Um,
• 13:40
  and,
• 13:41
  and this is the thing,
• 13:42
  and this is something that the left does all the time,
• 13:44
  right?
• 13:45
  They try to misuse the legal system.
• 13:47
  They look at our legal system and say,
• 13:49
  hey,
• 13:49
  this is a weakness
• 13:51
  for this country.
• 13:53
  They see the legal system not as a strength that hey,
• 13:56
  we're doing the best we can to get to the best results we can legally.
• 13:58
  They see it as a weakness.
• 13:59
  They know they can harass these companies
• 14:01
  with massive lawsuits that oftentimes because they don't want the hassle,
• 14:05
  they'll just settle,
• 14:06
  right?
• 14:06
  They know they can get that precedent set,
• 14:08
  then they can kind of come.
• 14:10
  An attack.
• 14:11
  You do a little judge shopping,
• 14:13
  a little district shopping.
• 14:14
  You look for the best possible
• 14:16
  left wing justice that you can
• 14:19
  possibly find.
• 14:20
  Maybe you wait until the Supreme Court looks a little bit more left,
• 14:23
  and you bring these things up.
• 14:24
  And once you get one of these things through,
• 14:26
  then you have the precedent to sue,
• 14:27
  sue,
• 14:28
  sue,
• 14:28
  sue,
• 14:28
  sue,
• 14:28
  sue,
• 14:28
  sue,
• 14:29
  and destroy these oil companies,
• 14:30
  which
• 14:31
  when I say oil companies,
• 14:32
  I mean.
• 14:32
  The companies that basically bring civilization to your doorstep,
• 14:36
  that's what's going on.
• 14:37
  You want to be hot.
• 14:38
  You want to be cold,
• 14:39
  you be hot when it's cold.
• 14:40
  You want to be cold when it's hot.
• 14:42
  It's funny because the same companies that honestly are
• 14:45
  are are are serving and could have maybe prevented
• 14:48
  this situation,
• 14:50
  companies that make the gas for the car,
• 14:53
  number one,
• 14:54
  maybe made.
• 14:55
  The gas and the oil and the fossil fuels that wind up powering the
• 15:01
  homes and businesses that are cool because of the air conditioning they utilize,
• 15:06
  all of these things are powered by fossil fuels,
• 15:09
  and yet
• 15:09
  they are being blamed for the death.
• 15:12
  It's important to understand they don't actually think
• 15:14
  this woman died because of climate change.
• 15:16
  None of them think that.
• 15:18
  They're not,
• 15:18
  I don't,
• 15:19
  well,
• 15:19
  they might be that stupid.
• 15:20
  Some of them might believe it,
• 15:21
  but generally speaking,
• 15:22
  that's not the story here.
• 15:24
  It's not about them believing.
• 15:25
  It's not about arguing science with them.
• 15:27
  It's about whether they can get this through the legal
• 15:30
  process
• 15:31
  in a way that will harm these
• 15:32
  companies because they want these companies destroyed.
• 15:36
  And you'd think,
• 15:37
  you know,
• 15:37
  I find this fascinating.
• 15:39
  I think it's really common honestly these days
• 15:42
  where you have something that's so
• 15:44
  obviously universally positive,
• 15:47
  right?
• 15:47
  I think
• 15:48
  fossil fuels line up really easily as understandable benefits to our society,
• 15:54
  and
• 15:55
  there's always a slew of people
• 15:56
  who are very,
• 15:57
  very loud,
• 15:58
  who go on social media,
• 15:59
  who fund these organizations,
• 16:01
  who will take extreme measures to stop that universal good.
• 16:05
  It's really interesting that that happens over and over and over again,
• 16:08
  and I can give you 100 examples of it.
• 16:10
  But like when you,
• 16:11
  when you're talking about global warming,
• 16:13
  it's tying into fossil fuels,
• 16:15
  it's so
• 16:15
  obvious.
• 16:16
  You have a cost-benefit analysis that normal people do,
• 16:20
  normal countries do,
• 16:21
  normal organizations do.
• 16:23
  When you're thinking,
• 16:23
  hey,
• 16:24
  do I spend money on
• 16:25
  advertising,
• 16:26
  oh well,
• 16:27
  there's a cost to that and there's a benefit to that,
• 16:29
  right?
• 16:30
  Like you say,
• 16:31
  OK,
• 16:31
  I'm going to spend this much money on advertising.
• 16:32
  It's going to bring this much money in.
• 16:34
  It's going to increase our sales.
• 16:36
  How does that balance happen?
• 16:37
  Smart people,
• 16:38
  smart businesses do cost-benefit analysis.
• 16:41
  Dumb businesses,
• 16:42
  dumb people,
• 16:43
  dumb organizations,
• 16:44
  dumb governments
• 16:45
  do either
• 16:47
  cost analysis
• 16:48
  or benefit analysis.
• 16:50
  Cost analysis is,
• 16:51
  gosh.
• 16:52
  Fossil fuels are bad.
• 16:55
  They've raised the temperature,
• 16:57
  if you believe that,
• 16:58
  by about a degree over a century.
• 16:59
  That's bad.
• 17:01
  Therefore,
• 17:02
  fossil fuels are bad.
• 17:04
  Well,
• 17:04
  what about the benefit of fossil fuels?
• 17:06
  Have you noticed that,
• 17:07
  like,
• 17:08
  I don't know,
• 17:09
  society is society,
• 17:10
  civilization is civilization.
• 17:13
  A good chunk of the reason for that is fossil fuels.
• 17:17
  That is probably the biggest when it comes
• 17:19
  to when you're talking about a natural resource.
• 17:22
  Most certainly it is the greatest benefit.
• 17:24
  It does incredible things in almost every aspect of your life that's positive.
• 17:29
  Fossil fuels are there,
• 17:31
  making that better.
• 17:32
  This happens
• 17:34
  all the time.
• 17:36
  You take
• 17:37
  another thing that you do global warming on the global
• 17:40
  warming side is just a benefit analysis of a policy.
• 17:43
  Hey,
• 17:44
  we're going to dump
• 17:46
  hundreds of billions of dollars into.
• 17:48
  Green energy
• 17:50
  and we're going to say hey it's going to lower emissions by this amount,
• 17:53
  a benefit analysis.
• 17:55
  Well,
• 17:55
  what about the cost of that?
• 17:56
  Number 1,
• 17:57
  the money.
• 17:58
  But number 2,
• 17:59
  even deeper than that,
• 18:00
  the reliability and what what.
• 18:04
  What sorts of energy you're deleting because of it,
• 18:08
  right?
• 18:08
  One of the big issues going back many,
• 18:10
  many years in the environmental movement,
• 18:12
  and they've somewhat changed on this,
• 18:13
  was kind of
• 18:14
  the deletion of nuclear power as an option.
• 18:17
  They went after nuclear power because of
• 18:19
  the cost of it.
• 18:21
  They said it was too expensive,
• 18:22
  but they also said it's probably going to wind up,
• 18:24
  Chernobyl is all over the place.
• 18:26
  Of course
• 18:26
  that only happened.
• 18:27
  In the old Soviet Union where the government had
• 18:30
  control of every single aspect of society basically,
• 18:34
  but
• 18:35
  that was the worry,
• 18:36
  so we abandoned that entire approach for many,
• 18:38
  many years.
• 18:39
  Now that AI is around and they really need a lot more power really quickly,
• 18:43
  it's coming back into fashion a little bit,
• 18:45
  but when you looked at this and said cost,
• 18:47
  things could go wrong,
• 18:48
  it could be expensive,
• 18:49
  blah blah blah blah blah on nuclear power,
• 18:51
  you've missed out on that.
• 18:52
  Benefits.
• 18:53
  It's incredibly reliable
• 18:55
  power.
• 18:55
  And also,
• 18:56
  if you care about global warming,
• 18:58
  if you care about emissions,
• 18:59
  if you're the type of person that is saying,
• 19:00
  oh well,
• 19:00
  the CO2 emissions are going up,
• 19:02
  it's the perfect antidote
• 19:04
  to that as well.
• 19:05
  It's a great midpoint,
• 19:06
  right?
• 19:06
  We get reliable power
• 19:08
  and you don't have to deal
• 19:10
  with whatever risk there might be from global warming if
• 19:13
  the left happens to be completely right on it,
• 19:15
  which I don't think they are,
• 19:16
  but
• 19:17
  If they are,
• 19:18
  you have an offset for that.
• 19:20
  You're able to look at it and say,
• 19:21
  hey,
• 19:21
  we're getting the best of both worlds here with nuclear power.
• 19:24
  That is why
• 19:25
  it was targeted.
• 19:26
  Because when you look at this from a,
• 19:28
  you step back and you say,
• 19:29
  wait a minute,
• 19:30
  is this really about this poor woman who died,
• 19:32
  you know,
• 19:32
  after surgery and not eating food for two weeks,
• 19:35
  and when it was 108 degrees and she had her windows rolled down on pavement,
• 19:38
  is it really about that?
• 19:39
  Or is it about taking down this entire system we have?
• 19:42
  It's about taking down
• 19:43
  capitalism as a whole,
• 19:45
  freedom as a whole,
• 19:46
  when it comes to your,
• 19:47
  you know,
• 19:47
  economic future,
• 19:48
  but also
• 19:49
  your future
• 19:50
  when it is related to what the government's going to do to you,
• 19:52
  not for you.
• 19:54
  I look at this and I think the answer is pretty clear.
• 19:57
  This is yet another element
• 20:00
  of a movement that is trying to
• 20:03
  implement de-growth type policies
• 20:05
  that would wind up
• 20:06
  hurting people,
• 20:07
  that would wind up killing
• 20:08
  people,
• 20:09
  and has killed people
• 20:11
  all over the world.
• 20:12
  Is that
• 20:14
  the cost justify the benefit there?
• 20:17
  Does the benefit justify that cost?
• 20:19
  I would say no,
• 20:21
  but there is a massive movement who wants to do that to you,
• 20:24
  and this is just their latest tool
• 20:27
  in that battle.
• 20:28
  We're going to bring on Jason Buttrell next.
• 20:29
  We're going to look at Ukraine.
• 20:30
  We're going to look at the Middle East,
• 20:31
  Israel,
• 20:32
  and
• 20:32
  our college campuses.
• 20:34
  We'll talk about that next.
• 20:45
  Harrison Ford's like,
• 20:46
  I wasn't any better than Hollywood Homicide,
• 20:48
  it was a great film.
• 20:49
  Um,
• 20:49
  alright,
• 20:49
  let me talk to you about,
• 20:50
  uh,
• 20:51
  maybe not the easiest thing to talk about.

• 22:02
  Joined once again by Jason
• 22:03
  Buttrell.
• 22:04
  He's the head writer and researcher for Glenn Beck on
• 22:06
  the Glenn Beck program right here on Police TV.
• 22:08
  Jason,
• 22:09
  thanks for coming on the program.
• 22:10
  Thanks for having me,
• 22:10
  Stu.
• 22:11
  Yeah,
• 22:11
  what's the show?
• 22:11
  Do you know what the show's about tonight?
• 22:13
  Tonight,
• 22:13
  yeah,
• 22:14
  we're,
• 22:14
  we're looking into,
• 22:15
  um,
• 22:16
  this whole war between,
• 22:18
  you know,
• 22:18
  Harvard.
• 22:19
  And the Trump administration,
• 22:20
  it's,
• 22:21
  it's,
• 22:21
  it's,
• 22:22
  it's starting to spill out even more,
• 22:23
  but it's going to get worse,
• 22:24
  probably with the other universities in the country.
• 22:28
  It just seems like this is turning into more of
• 22:30
  the elite establishment against the Trump administration.
• 22:33
  What cracks me up about some of this is.
• 22:36
  You know,
• 22:36
  I don't know if you,
• 22:37
  um,
• 22:38
  did you read the note from Christine Ome
• 22:41
  and Homeland Security when they said,
• 22:43
  OK,
• 22:43
  you guys,
• 22:44
  we're,
• 22:44
  we're revoking all of your student visas?
• 22:45
  No,
• 22:46
  I didn't.
• 22:46
  The,
• 22:47
  the things that they asked for,
• 22:48
  first off,
• 22:48
  the first half,
• 22:50
  half of the letter is like very,
• 22:51
  very,
• 22:52
  you know,
• 22:52
  get some.
• 22:53
  She's like,
• 22:53
  you know,
• 22:53
  because you failed to do what we've asked,
• 22:55
  we are revoking blah blah,
• 22:56
  blah,
• 22:56
  and you're like,
• 22:56
  dang.
• 22:57
  But then it says at the end,
• 22:59
  um,
• 22:59
  we'll give you 72 more hours just to come up with the information we requested.
• 23:02
  The information they requested was very,
• 23:04
  very reasonable.
• 23:05
  It was,
• 23:06
  you know,
• 23:06
  um,
• 23:08
  all the,
• 23:08
  the,
• 23:09
  uh,
• 23:09
  attacks on Jews,
• 23:11
  uh,
• 23:11
  give us video footage of that,
• 23:13
  the police reports,
• 23:13
  all that stuff.
• 23:14
  They're trying to get a handle on just
• 23:16
  how bad it has gotten if you happen to be Jewish on some of these campuses,
• 23:19
  and Harvard,
• 23:20
  I think to this day still has not turned that over.
• 23:23
  I mean,
• 23:24
  come on,
• 23:25
  these are actual crime.
• 23:26
  This is crime information,
• 23:27
  this is data.
• 23:28
  You can easily hand this over,
• 23:29
  but they won't do it.
• 23:31
  Why?
• 23:31
  It seems like they're leaning on
• 23:34
  the protections of the media,
• 23:36
  who they know will be on their side,
• 23:38
  right?
• 23:38
  They're,
• 23:38
  they're,
• 23:38
  they're leaning on the protections of the left who will be on their side.
• 23:42
  And it does seem like,
• 23:43
  you know,
• 23:43
  with this problem growing,
• 23:44
  I mean,
• 23:45
  look,
• 23:45
  we've had what,
• 23:46
  3 big attacks over the past few weeks of Jews,
• 23:50
  you know,
• 23:51
  including.
• 23:51
  Uh,
• 23:52
  a guy who built his own flamethrower,
• 23:55
  planned for a year,
• 23:56
  an illegal,
• 23:57
  uh,
• 23:58
  uh,
• 23:59
  alien,
• 24:00
  uh,
• 24:00
  and I was gonna say illegal immigrant,
• 24:01
  but he didn't,
• 24:02
  he didn't really
• 24:02
  migrate here.
• 24:03
  He came on visa,
• 24:05
  an overstate visa,
• 24:06
  so illegal alien is much more appropriate,
• 24:08
  uh,
• 24:08
  for someone like that.
• 24:09
  Um,
• 24:10
  but then,
• 24:10
  you know,
• 24:10
  lit a Holocaust victim on fire in a park along with others,
• 24:15
  and
• 24:15
  we're immediately.
• 24:16
  To jump to gosh,
• 24:17
  this could cause Islamophobia.
• 24:19
  I I I I can't,
• 24:20
  it's like clockwork.
• 24:21
  I don't even know with that
• 24:23
  attitude and mindset and a lot of this preached from the
• 24:26
  elitist of the elite universities all over the country right now.
• 24:29
  I don't even know how you
• 24:31
  address this problem.
• 24:33
  With common sense,
• 24:35
  uh,
• 24:36
  we have imported,
• 24:37
  I don't know how we haven't even import,
• 24:39
  we've allowed this
• 24:42
  invasion
• 24:43
  of probably some of the most dangerous people in the world into our country.
• 24:47
  You had an interview with,
• 24:49
  uh,
• 24:49
  Sarah Adams,
• 24:50
  that former CIA targeter,
• 24:51
  I think it was yesterday,
• 24:52
  you and Glenn.
• 24:53
  And uh she was throwing around numbers.
• 24:56
  Glenn was like,
• 24:56
  how many of these people are in our country?
• 24:58
  How many terrorists do you think the CIA is tracking right now?
• 25:00
  And she goes,
• 25:01
  By her estimate,
• 25:02
  I think she said around 8000
• 25:04
  that
• 25:05
  just got in illegally.
• 25:06
  They're somewhere in the country.
• 25:08
  We don't know what they're planning.
• 25:09
  We don't know what their intentions are.
• 25:11
  Now those are people that have gotten in.
• 25:14
  I mean that's terrifying,
• 25:16
  beyond terrifying.
• 25:17
  They are actively planning attacks like 9/11 right now in the country,
• 25:22
  but then you have people like this Egyptian guy.
• 25:24
  Who didn't come over here for that specifically,
• 25:27
  but he's probably already,
• 25:29
  you know,
• 25:29
  he's got a radicalized mindset clearly
• 25:32
  and
• 25:33
  willing to do something
• 25:35
  crazy and awful at the drop of a hat.
• 25:37
  I mean,
• 25:38
  especially with this,
• 25:39
  you know,
• 25:40
  ideology spilling out of these college campuses,
• 25:42
  that's all they're hearing about is there's a genocide going on in Gaza.
• 25:46
  What are they gonna be willing to do?
• 25:47
  I don't know,
• 25:48
  but
• 25:49
  I,
• 25:49
  man,
• 25:49
  I was,
• 25:50
  I,
• 25:50
  I just,
• 25:51
  I talked to you,
• 25:52
  you know,
• 25:52
  off camera during the break.
• 25:54
  You know there was this,
• 25:54
  uh,
• 25:55
  there's a show called Lioness by Taylor Sheridan,
• 25:57
  and,
• 25:58
  uh,
• 25:59
  there was,
• 25:59
  there's at one point Nicole Kidman says she's like a CIA character,
• 26:03
  and she goes,
• 26:03
  it's gonna happen again.
• 26:05
  She's talking about 9/11.
• 26:06
  She's talking to her husband and she's like,
• 26:07
  we can't stop it.
• 26:08
  She,
• 26:09
  and she actually says in the show,
• 26:10
  she goes,
• 26:11
  they're coming over
• 26:12
  from the open border,
• 26:14
  the,
• 26:14
  uh,
• 26:15
  open Mexican border.
• 26:16
  Um,
• 26:17
  we know they're here
• 26:18
  and there's not a.
• 26:19
  Thing we can do about it.
• 26:19
  Nicole Kidman read the script.
• 26:21
  Yeah,
• 26:22
  yeah,
• 26:22
  she,
• 26:23
  she's probably gritting her teeth as she's saying this,
• 26:25
  but everyone knows this,
• 26:27
  and it's going on right now,
• 26:28
  and it's getting worse with this ideology.
• 26:31
  I,
• 26:31
  it's,
• 26:31
  it's terrifying to think about what we're,
• 26:33
  you know,
• 26:34
  building up to,
• 26:34
  and the ideology is,
• 26:36
  I,
• 26:36
  I think,
• 26:37
  shocking how much it's been
• 26:38
  embraced by a lot.
• 26:39
  I mean,
• 26:39
  you know,
• 26:40
  there's a whole wing of the Democratic Party that
• 26:41
  is just straight out pro-Hamas at this point.
• 26:44
  And it's seemingly growing.
• 26:47
  We had this massive amount of protests
• 26:49
  about
• 26:50
  Gaza,
• 26:50
  which I mean I think you could say,
• 26:51
  hey,
• 26:52
  you know,
• 26:53
  gosh,
• 26:53
  there probably are people who don't want to kill Jews in Gaza that are
• 26:56
  in a terrible situation because of what the people who did kill Jews did,
• 26:59
  right?
• 27:00
  And I think you can feel sympathy for those people.
• 27:03
  However,
• 27:04
  it's hard to feel that sympathy when a
• 27:06
  lot of these people started protesting Israel,
• 27:09
  which was October 8th.
• 27:11
  And it's like,
• 27:12
  I'm sorry if you're out there doing that on that day,
• 27:14
  you just,
• 27:15
  that's just,
• 27:16
  you just can't stand Israel,
• 27:17
  you can't stand Jews.
• 27:19
  There's no reason to start it on the day before
• 27:21
  the military even responded.
• 27:23
  Yeah,
• 27:23
  it's such a,
• 27:25
  and this ideology is coming.
• 27:27
  Directly from these elite campuses,
• 27:29
  um,
• 27:29
  we,
• 27:29
  I,
• 27:30
  we did a show I think about a year ago,
• 27:32
  a Glenn Beck TV show
• 27:33
  where we showed this,
• 27:34
  uh,
• 27:35
  it was some lecture that was being given by these top rated,
• 27:39
  top rated professors
• 27:41
  within these Ivy League schools,
• 27:42
  and they were talking about how,
• 27:44
  um,
• 27:45
  Hamas
• 27:46
  was clumped into
• 27:48
  the other,
• 27:50
  you know.
• 27:51
  The,
• 27:51
  the,
• 27:51
  the other radical group,
• 27:53
  uh,
• 27:53
  uh,
• 27:54
  group,
• 27:54
  groupings within the left,
• 27:55
  so you know,
• 27:57
  LGBTQ,
• 27:58
  elemental P,
• 27:59
  all those people,
• 27:59
  uh,
• 28:00
  everything anti,
• 28:01
  yeah,
• 28:01
  um,
• 28:02
  radical feminists,
• 28:03
  all this,
• 28:04
  they were grouping Hamas
• 28:05
  into that.
• 28:06
  Now I'm like,
• 28:06
  wait a minute,
• 28:07
  that makes no sense.
• 28:08
  Like how can you have a Hamas guy and an LGBTQ activist sitting together
• 28:12
  holding hands with their arms around each other saying,
• 28:14
  yeah,
• 28:14
  we're all in the same struggle
• 28:16
  because at its core,
• 28:17
  and I,
• 28:18
  I remember
• 28:19
  this.
• 28:20
  Lunatic crazy guy with a gray goatee talking about how
• 28:24
  Islamists,
• 28:25
  anarchists,
• 28:26
  radical leftists were going to work together
• 28:30
  to see the downfall of Western society.
• 28:33
  Well,
• 28:33
  that's exactly what's happening because at places like Harvard
• 28:36
  they're talking about how,
• 28:37
  you know,
• 28:38
  they're giving this mindset of it's a,
• 28:39
  it's a Marxist mindset,
• 28:40
  how
• 28:41
  down with the colonialists
• 28:43
  and however we can manifest that wherever
• 28:46
  it's oh it's,
• 28:46
  you know,
• 28:47
  if there's an attack on October 7th.
• 28:48
  Just a response to colonialism.
• 28:50
  So whatever they did is justified.
• 28:52
  As abhorrent as that sounds,
• 28:55
  that's how they're justifying it.
• 28:57
  So they're like,
• 28:57
  ah,
• 28:57
  we don't care about that.
• 28:59
  It's the real problem is the reaction when they defended themselves.
• 29:02
  What?
• 29:03
  Yeah,
• 29:03
  I mean,
• 29:03
  look at
• 29:04
  look at the treatment of these left wing groups
• 29:07
  with the couple that was murdered in Washington DC.
• 29:09
  They want to free the guy who just murdered them for absolutely no reason.
• 29:13
  Absolutely insane.
• 29:14
  I want to move quickly though before we run out of time to
• 29:17
  Ukraine.
• 29:19
  A really incredible attack
• 29:22
  by,
• 29:22
  I mean
• 29:23
  not quite to the level of the beeper attack which was really mesmerizing,
• 29:27
  but this one where they stored these drones
• 29:30
  in these shipping containers
• 29:33
  and like huts of some sort,
• 29:36
  and they're able to wipe out some large percentage of these
• 29:39
  long range bombers that Russia has all over the country.
• 29:42
  Uh,
• 29:43
  really a fascinating attack.
• 29:44
  And can you talk about like the details of it,
• 29:46
  but also
• 29:47
  how does this change warfare going forward?
• 29:50
  Oh my gosh,
• 29:51
  uh,
• 29:51
  Stu,
• 29:51
  I think this is,
• 29:53
  I think there's two humongous things going on in the world right now,
• 29:56
  um,
• 29:56
  that pretty much top everything.
• 29:58
  The first is the remake and reshaping of the global economy.
• 30:02
  It's happening right now whether we like it or not,
• 30:05
  um,
• 30:05
  even if Donald Trump is not president tomorrow,
• 30:07
  it's still going forward.
• 30:09
  It's going to happen.
• 30:10
  So that what,
• 30:10
  what's going on with the tariffs,
• 30:12
  let's say they the next administration gets rid of the tariffs,
• 30:14
  they try something else.
• 30:15
  However,
• 30:16
  the mechanism that whatever the mechanism they use to try to do it,
• 30:18
  it's going to happen.
• 30:19
  So the global economy is going through a massive reset and shift.
• 30:24
  Global war is going through an equally important
• 30:28
  reshape and shift.
• 30:30
  What you saw in what you're seeing in Ukraine going back to the last 3 years
• 30:34
  is,
• 30:35
  you know.
• 30:36
  And
• 30:37
  one side that's having to adapt for not having the numbers of the other side,
• 30:41
  so Russia,
• 30:41
  Ukraine having to adapt for not having.
• 30:43
  The way they're trying to do that is through technology.
• 30:45
  They're doing it with drones,
• 30:47
  um,
• 30:48
  the,
• 30:49
  the actual what's,
• 30:49
  what's nuts is how they,
• 30:50
  how they pulled this off is they
• 30:52
  hid drones in tractor trailers driven
• 30:56
  into Russia
• 30:58
  off the semi trucks.
• 30:59
  So basically what they did was,
• 31:00
  and there was like what,
• 31:01
  200 drones or,
• 31:02
  uh,
• 31:02
  you know,
• 31:03
  tons of drones within each one of these,
• 31:05
  uh,
• 31:05
  you know,
• 31:06
  tractor trailers,
• 31:07
  um,
• 31:08
  remotely opened,
• 31:09
  remotely piloted.
• 31:10
  And
• 31:11
  effectively turning in,
• 31:13
  turning a $20,000 semi truck
• 31:15
  into a billion dollars aircraft carrier.
• 31:18
  Now
• 31:19
  you think about that.
• 31:20
  Ukraine doesn't have a ton of money besides all the money that we gave them
• 31:26
  to pull off a war like this,
• 31:27
  so they're having to adapt,
• 31:28
  and you see this all throughout history.
• 31:31
  You know,
• 31:32
  the lesser force has to come up with something,
• 31:34
  has to adapt some way
• 31:36
  to make up for the fact of the invading country or the oppressor country
• 31:40
  that has tons of money and tons of weapons.
• 31:42
  It's putting stones on the sling,
• 31:45
  basically a very old example,
• 31:46
  exactly.
• 31:46
  And if you fail to adapt to this new mindset and landscape.
• 31:51
  You're going to get rolled over.
• 31:53
  The scary thing is I don't see the United States
• 31:55
  with any aggressive effort really trying to adapt to this
• 31:58
  at all.
• 31:59
  I,
• 31:59
  there,
• 31:59
  there's,
• 32:00
  uh,
• 32:00
  people like Palmer Luckey and Enduro,
• 32:02
  you know,
• 32:03
  they're doing stuff with like drone technology,
• 32:04
  but I still don't see the focus being there.
• 32:07
  I guarantee the Chinese are looking at this.
• 32:08
  The entire world is looking at this.
• 32:11
  Terrorists that could be what some of the
• 32:12
  8000 terrorists that are in our country right now
• 32:15
  are looking at the massive damage and the things you can do
• 32:18
  very cheaply through drone technology or other,
• 32:21
  you know,
• 32:22
  you know,
• 32:22
  non-conventional,
• 32:23
  you know,
• 32:23
  means
• 32:24
  of pulling off nation state level attacks
• 32:28
  with a few $100.
• 32:30
  I mean,
• 32:30
  each one of those drones is about $300.
• 32:34
  In a semi truck.
• 32:35
  Amazing,
• 32:36
  and they're producing these drones in Ukraine now,
• 32:39
  but apparently I was just reading a report on this that when this all started,
• 32:42
  when they decided they needed to go deep into the drone thing,
• 32:45
  they were literally buying them off Amazon and retrofitting them.
• 32:48
  That is actually how this
• 32:50
  started,
• 32:50
  and these are cheap to make.
• 32:52
  They're now
• 32:53
  churning them out like crazy.
• 32:55
  So like,
• 32:56
  do we think of this as like,
• 32:57
  you know,
• 32:57
  part of,
• 32:57
  we talked about this a little bit on radio the other day.
• 33:00
  Part of me feels
• 33:01
  just terrified by this.
• 33:02
  I mean,
• 33:02
  I watched,
• 33:02
  what was it,
• 33:03
  Angel Has Fallen,
• 33:04
  where this drone Soren comes in and tries to assassinate the president,
• 33:06
  the documentary Angel Has Fallen.
• 33:08
  Um,
• 33:09
  you know,
• 33:09
  like that,
• 33:10
  you look at that and you're like,
• 33:10
  God,
• 33:11
  how would you even fight against this,
• 33:12
  it's terrifying.
• 33:13
  And on the other hand,
• 33:14
  like
• 33:15
  you do see a situation where
• 33:17
  these are drones
• 33:18
  taking out planes.
• 33:20
  The plane,
• 33:21
  not,
• 33:21
  it didn't kill anybody.
• 33:23
  Right,
• 33:23
  like,
• 33:24
  these were attacks that did not kill,
• 33:25
  there were no casualties as far as I,
• 33:27
  at least the last report that I read on this,
• 33:29
  and that is a really positive thing,
• 33:32
  right?
• 33:32
  Like you have,
• 33:33
  you're not risking troops' lives here,
• 33:34
  you have drones taking out planes that were killing people.
• 33:38
  Now those planes won't be killing people,
• 33:40
  like
• 33:40
  there's probably some real good that comes out of this too.
• 33:43
  Yeah,
• 33:43
  I mean,
• 33:43
  I guess it kind of,
• 33:44
  it depends on how you're looking at it.
• 33:45
  So like I just attack like this,
• 33:47
  yes,
• 33:48
  you know,
• 33:48
  there's,
• 33:48
  there,
• 33:48
  there's no casualties.
• 33:50
  And when you talk,
• 33:50
  when you talk about,
• 33:51
  you know,
• 33:52
  when
• 33:52
  I was watching Palmer Lucky's company and Dural talking about how they can use
• 33:57
  swarms of autonomous,
• 33:58
  you know,
• 33:59
  uh,
• 33:59
  aircraft that will accompany a pilot.
• 34:01
  So instead of having like
• 34:03
  10 pilots risking their lives,
• 34:04
  there's one pilot who's,
• 34:06
  you know,
• 34:06
  kind of like the center of all that.
• 34:08
  That sounds great.
• 34:10
  But also look at,
• 34:11
  you know,
• 34:12
  the,
• 34:12
  the reason the atomic bomb was invented.
• 34:14
  The reason it was invented was to take out a massive industrial center
• 34:18
  all at once so you don't have to,
• 34:19
  like,
• 34:20
  you know,
• 34:20
  you don't have to,
• 34:21
  you know,
• 34:21
  worry about,
• 34:22
  you know,
• 34:22
  your
• 34:23
  blanket number of bombs.
• 34:25
  They're gonna take out all these different factories or this,
• 34:27
  um,
• 34:28
  you know,
• 34:29
  electric power grid,
• 34:30
  you know,
• 34:31
  um,
• 34:32
  you know,
• 34:32
  producing,
• 34:33
  uh,
• 34:33
  thing for the,
• 34:33
  you know,
• 34:34
  producing power for the rest of the country or this region,
• 34:36
  whatever.
• 34:36
  You can just take it all out in one,
• 34:38
  you know,
• 34:38
  you know,
• 34:38
  in one strike.
• 34:39
  Well,
• 34:40
  that's how it's going to be used in the future.
• 34:41
  You're gonna have swarms of drones that are going to take out industrial centers.
• 34:45
  There will be massive loss of life there.
• 34:47
  Uh,
• 34:47
  you'll have swarms of drones knocking out a power grid to an entire region.
• 34:51
  Well,
• 34:52
  that causes.
• 34:54
  Just the,
• 34:54
  just about the same amount of deaths as a nuclear strike would
• 34:58
  over time as people start running out of food,
• 35:00
  running out of water,
• 35:02
  things like that.
• 35:03
  That's what we're looking at.
• 35:04
  These are the kinds of attacks that we're going to have to defend against.
• 35:07
  I tried to be positive
• 35:09
  and then you brought it into more people than a nuclear attack.
• 35:11
  I can see why you write for Glenn Beck.
• 35:13
  Right,
• 35:14
  I know I can do this with everything.
• 35:15
  Let's talk Tootsie Roll,
• 35:16
  Pops.
• 35:17
  So let me tell you,
• 35:18
  Stu,
• 35:19
  they can choke you.
• 35:20
  Uh,
• 35:20
  Jason Buttrell,
• 35:21
  head writer and researcher for Glenn Beck,
• 35:23
  whose shows coming up tonight.
• 35:23
  Don't miss it.
• 35:24
  Uh,
• 35:25
  what does it air at 98 p.m. 90 p.m. Eastern?
• 35:26
  9 p.m. 9 p.m. Eastern.
• 35:28
  Thank you.
• 35:28
  I should know that by now.
• 35:29
  I've been here for a very long time.
• 35:30
  Uh,
• 35:31
  check,
• 35:31
  so check that out.
• 35:32
  It's tonight with,
• 35:32
  uh,
• 35:33
  Glenn
• 35:33
  and,
• 35:34
  uh,
• 35:34
  Jason.
• 35:34
  I appreciate it,
• 35:35
  man.
• 35:35
  Thanks so much.
• 35:35
  Thanks for having me.
• 35:45
  Well,
• 35:46
  uh,
• 35:46
  the US has doubled tariffs on steel and aluminum to 50%.
• 35:54
  50% was 25%,
• 35:56
  up to 50%.
• 35:57
  Now there's been some legal issues with Donald Trump's
• 36:00
  tariffs trying to get them through the courts.
• 36:02
  The steel and aluminum ones are
• 36:05
  probably the most defensible legally.
• 36:07
  Like he's probably not going to have any problems
• 36:09
  with them.
• 36:10
  Getting through the courts,
• 36:12
  we will see,
• 36:13
  of course.
• 36:14
  The issue here,
• 36:14
  of course,
• 36:15
  for those on both sides of it,
• 36:18
  he made it in front of
• 36:20
  a bunch of steel workers,
• 36:21
  of course,
• 36:21
  in Pittsburgh,
• 36:22
  so
• 36:22
  the crowd really loved it.
• 36:24
  It will protect that particular industry.
• 36:27
  Of course we do import.
• 36:28
  We're the world's largest importer of steel.
• 36:31
  We don't make as much of it as we used to here in the country.
• 36:34
  We do need a lot of it though,
• 36:36
  and of course these tariffs,
• 36:38
  while they might help these companies that
• 36:40
  already exist with their current production,
• 36:43
  will not of course be able to
• 36:46
  launch
• 36:47
  tons and tons of new.
• 36:51
  Capacity immediately.
• 36:53
  So for a very long time we're going to be importing a bunch of steel at the very least
• 36:58
  at much higher cost.
• 36:59
  So if you're building buildings or if you're using steel,
• 37:02
  I know I have people that I know who work in this
• 37:05
  particular field.
• 37:07
  And have issues with the imports right now.
• 37:09
  It's really screwing with the cost of all of this,
• 37:12
  but
• 37:12
  I guess everybody's dealing with it,
• 37:14
  so it is what it is.
• 37:15
  The Washington Post admitting
• 37:17
  to faulty reporting on a claim that Israel killed dozens of
• 37:21
  Gazan civilians at their aid site.
• 37:22
  We talked about this a little bit with Jason,
• 37:24
  this incident.
• 37:25
  Where you have,
• 37:26
  uh,
• 37:27
  they said 2030 people murdered at an AIDS site.
• 37:29
  I think we hit it maybe in yesterday's monologue as well.
• 37:32
  Uh,
• 37:32
  the,
• 37:33
  I love the update though,
• 37:35
  because I,
• 37:35
  I have this affinity
• 37:37
  for
• 37:38
  that sort of PR speak
• 37:40
  when they really try to like massage an issue
• 37:42
  and like get way too cute with their words.
• 37:45
  One of my favorite books is.
• 37:46
  Thank You for Smoking,
• 37:47
  Christopher Buckley,
• 37:48
  who got a bunch of people from
• 37:52
  alcohol and tobacco and firearms,
• 37:55
  maybe it was those three industries if I remember correctly,
• 37:57
  it's been a while.
• 37:59
  They had a movie about it as well.
• 38:00
  It's quite good,
• 38:01
  but they're always coming up with ways to win these impossible arguments,
• 38:05
  you know,
• 38:05
  even though they don't even believe.
• 38:07
  Their own shtick.
• 38:08
  The
• 38:08
  Washington Post is in that category here.
• 38:10
  Let me give this to you real quick.
• 38:11
  They say,
• 38:11
  Correction,
• 38:12
  we've deleted the post below because it was in early
• 38:14
  versions of the article it didn't meet Post's fairness standards.
• 38:18
  The background early versions of the article stated that Israeli troops had
• 38:21
  killed more than 30 people near a US aid site in Gaza,
• 38:24
  with a headline attributing the action to health officials.
• 38:27
  We mentioned this the other day.
• 38:28
  Not only did you never believe something from Gaza health officials,
• 38:32
  you shouldn't even report it.
• 38:34
  It is nonsensical propaganda from Hamas.
• 38:38
  That's it.
• 38:39
  Beginning and end.
• 38:40
  The article failed to make clear
• 38:42
  if attributing the death to Israel was the position of the Gaza Health Ministry
• 38:45
  or a fact verified for the Post.
• 38:47
  Now I don't know which one is more reliable.
• 38:48
  You might say the Gaza Health Ministry might actually
• 38:51
  be more reliable than the Post in some circumstances,
• 38:53
  but
• 38:54
  I,
• 38:54
  uh,
• 38:54
  I digress.
• 38:55
  The article and headline were updated on Sunday,
• 38:56
  making it clear.
• 38:57
  This is where I love the,
• 38:58
  the,
• 38:58
  uh,
• 38:59
  phrasing though.
• 39:00
  While,
• 39:00
  statements from Israel made it,
• 39:01
  uh,
• 39:03
  while statements from Israel that it was
• 39:04
  unaware of injuries and that initial inquiry
• 39:07
  indicated that soldiers didn't fire at civilians near the site
• 39:10
  were all included in all versions,
• 39:12
  the Post didn't give proper weight to Israel's denial and
• 39:15
  gave
• 39:15
  improper certitude.
• 39:18
  I love that.
• 39:20
  Next time I lie,
• 39:20
  I'm gonna say,
• 39:21
  hey,
• 39:21
  by the way,
• 39:21
  I'm sorry.
• 39:22
  I,
• 39:23
  uh,
• 39:23
  gave you improper certitude on that one.
• 39:26
  Yeah,
• 39:26
  that's,
• 39:26
  that's,
• 39:27
  that's my bad.
• 39:27
  It's my bad.
• 39:28
  I need you to come up with a list of my
• 39:29
  favorite phrases like that because there's so many good ones.
• 39:31
  Uh,
• 39:31
  but there you go.
• 39:32
  Gave improper certitude,
• 39:33
  add that one to the list.
• 39:34
  And finally,
• 39:36
  uh,
• 39:36
  something,
• 39:37
  I mean,
• 39:37
  I will say gave improper certitude,
• 39:38
  something that maybe KJP may want to add.
• 39:41
  To her repertoire,
• 39:43
  she's got a new book coming out.
• 39:44
  It's called Independent A look inside a Broken White House
• 39:49
  Outside the Party Lines by Corinne Jean-Pierre.
• 39:51
  It comes out in
• 39:53
  Uh,
• 39:54
  October,
• 39:55
  I believe.
• 39:55
  So I'm very excited to read that.
• 39:56
  I actually might read it just because it's going to give you,
• 39:58
  give me so much material.
• 40:00
  The description though highlights an important new fact we did not know.
• 40:03
  This is new.
• 40:04
  Apparently Jean-Pierre
• 40:05
  came to a decision
• 40:06
  to be an independent.
• 40:08
  She's no longer in the Democratic Party.
• 40:10
  She didn't come to that independent lightly.
• 40:12
  She had served two American presidents,
• 40:14
  Obama
• 40:15
  and Biden,
• 40:15
  of course,
• 40:16
  both Democrats.
• 40:16
  She's now left the Democratic Party.
• 40:18
  Um,
• 40:19
  I will say tweet of the day,
• 40:21
  victory
• 40:22
  of the internet for the day comes from Ben Jacobs from Politico.
• 40:26
  He says,
• 40:26
  I'm excited for the audiobook of this
• 40:29
  which will be read by John Kirby,
• 40:31
  and I'm.
• 40:33
  It's impossible
• 40:34
  to describe
• 40:35
  how jealous I am of that tweet.
• 40:37
  A plus all around,
• 40:38
  no notes.
• 40:39
  I'm annoyed that I didn't think of it,
• 40:41
  but whatever.
• 40:42
  Corinne Jean-Pierre,
• 40:43
  apparently no longer a Democrat,
• 40:45
  so take that for what it's worth.
• 41:00
  Your biggest financial decisions happen when life gets complicated.
• 41:04
  Buying or selling a home ranks at the top.
• 41:06
  The process demands time that most people don't have.
• 41:09
  The paperwork alone overwhelms.
• 41:11
  Every step brings new requirements,
• 41:14
  new deadlines,
• 41:14
  and of course new ways for deals to fall apart,
• 41:17
  and they often do.
• 41:18
  The stakes couldn't be higher.
• 41:19
  This isn't picking the wrong restaurant.
• 41:20
  This is your family's financial future.
• 41:22
  One bad decision echoes for years.

  Well,
• 42:10
  uh,
• 42:11
  the hunt is on for an iconic but missing artifact from Back to the Future.
• 42:16
  Gibson guitars,
• 42:17
  in conjunction with the filmmaker,
• 42:18
  Doc Crotzer,
• 42:20
  uh,
• 42:20
  have launched Lost to the Future,
• 42:23
  a search for the Gibson ES 345 cherry red guitar that Michael J.
• 42:26
  Fox
• 42:27
  as Marty McFly plays in the film.
• 42:30
  Um,
• 42:30
  of course you remember he,
• 42:31
  uh,
• 42:32
  played Earth Angel,
• 42:33
  and then his hands were disappearing,
• 42:35
  and then he came back,
• 42:37
  he finished it.
• 42:38
  And then despite the fact that he had like 30 seconds to
• 42:40
  spare or he would lose his entire life in the 1950s,
• 42:44
  he then played Johnny B.
• 42:45
  Goode.
• 42:45
  Uh,
• 42:46
  it was a bad decision,
• 42:47
  uh,
• 42:47
  but he did it anyway.
• 42:48
  Um,
• 42:49
  I will say if you happen to have the,
• 42:50
  the,
• 42:51
  uh,
• 42:51
  I guess it was lost at some point in the last 40 years,
• 42:54
  if you happen to have.
• 42:55
  The guitar,
• 42:56
  don't give it to them,
• 42:57
  uh,
• 42:58
  maybe give it to Glenn,
• 42:58
  and he can put it in the museum,
• 42:59
  and you can come see it at the American Journey Experience.
• 43:01
  I will say,
• 43:02
  by the way,
• 43:02
  uh,
• 43:03
  mentioning,
• 43:03
  uh,
• 43:03
  Glenn,
• 43:04
  he,
• 43:04
  I think it was yesterday,
• 43:06
  was the 14 year anniversary of him announcing
• 43:09
  he's gonna leave Fox.
• 43:11
  And go to create this thing
• 43:13
  on the internet
• 43:15
  called GBTV,
• 43:16
  eventually renamed Blaze TV
• 43:18
  where you happen to be probably right about now.
