Summary

What is it about looking up at the night sky that fills us with hope and amazement? The beauty, the possibilities, or perhaps … aliens? In this episode of "The Glenn Beck Podcast," Canadian professor and cultural firebrand Jordan Peterson breaks down all three and ties this hope to something he and Glenn agree is being destroyed by the modern cancel culture: The ability to forgive and forget. Peterson is no stranger to the unforgiving mob, and his latest book, “Beyond Order: 12 More Rules,” faced woke outcries before it was even published! He dives into these new rules and more — technology, mythology, religion, college brainwashing, Star Wars, discount Karl Marx dolls, and plenty more sources of chaos and order that amaze and terrify us all.   Sponsor: Staying healthy is tough, especially if you have a sweet tooth.

Jordan Peterson is one of the most misunderstood people I know and believe me, I know a lot of people

that people think they know and they don't. To me and millions of others all around the world,

0:12.1

he is reshaping the world in incredible educational ways. He is a force of positive change in a world

0:20.0

that badly needs it. Now the fanatics who hate him mostly woke elites pretending to be journalist

0:26.2

or pundits or academics, they really hate him. And I mean, it's an obsession with them.

0:34.6

But they not only hate him, they hate anyone who associates with him, which was an extra added bonus

0:41.6

of associating him with me in this podcast. They hate anyone who is effective. And he is very

0:52.2

effective. Those people are trying to destroy anything, like I said, that is effective even the

0:59.6

conservative media. They accuse the conservative media of going easy on Peterson. I don't think

1:06.8

anybody goes easy on Peterson. I just I think, you know, maybe there's manners and we're like,

1:12.5

hey, he's down. Maybe we should stop kicking him. I mean, maybe if you don't already know about

1:20.8

Peterson, you are in for a treat. He is one of the most important intellectuals of our time.

1:26.3

Until 2016, he was a clinical psychologist and a professor in Canada. Then he was catapulted

1:33.4

into the culture war. And he was saying things that so many people just feel is true. And he had

1:40.4

the courage to say it. Well, one controversy after another brought him more fame, but also drew

1:46.4

more hate. The result has been a vicious seesaw of Yin and Yang that he has managed somehow

1:53.6

or another to survive. The guy is captivating. I took my son to see him because he did a for an

2:01.8

entire year, a stage show where he just sat and he talked. And he sold out opera houses and

2:08.8

theaters and arenas all around the world for his book tour. I brought my son and I leaned over. He

2:15.4

was I think 13 at the time. And I said, what are you getting? And he said, almost nothing, dad, but

2:20.5

it's fascinating. Last fall, the announcement of his latest book Beyond Order 12 more rules

caused protests within the company publishing it. The announcement caused protests. Nobody
