| 1:46.6 | everything remains where it is supposed to be. I'm telling you these underwear are just fantastic. Okay. So before I begin with all of the negative news of the day, I just want to make a nice note because I don't normally do this. I'm not big on the emotions. I'm not big on the niceties. Everything today is actually a really nice day. Number one, we get to broadcast from the beautiful studios here at the emotions. I'm not big on the niceties. Everything, today is actually a really nice day. Number one, we get to broadcast from the beautiful studios here at the Blaze. So it's very kind of Glenn Beck and team to allow us to use their studios. So that's awesome. But also, I had an experience this morning. I was up very, very early after my Yukon speech last night, which went great. It was really, it was really fun. There were 500 people showed up, packed house. We would have another another 5, 600 people if they'd allowed in the general public, which they should have. |
| 2:20.8 | And if they had not warned students that they required counseling, if I even showed up on campus. But the event was just great. And I woke up early this morning. I get on the plane. And during liftoff, you can't be on the internet. Well, not being on the internet for me is sort of like it must be for a crack cocaine addict who has no access. |
| 2:35.5 | So I'm sitting there desperately trying to reload things on a phone. not being on the internet for me is sort of like it must be for a crack cocaine addict who has no access. |
| 2:35.3 | So I'm sitting there desperately trying to reload things on a phone. The phone won't connect to anything. |
| 2:39.2 | And then I realized, hey, there's other stuff on my phone too. And so I sat there and I listened to Bach, which I downloaded, |
| 2:46.0 | and I watched videos of my kids on my iPhone on a plane taking off at 400 miles an hour, taking me from Connecticut to Dallas. And I just thought to myself, what a phenomenal world we live in. I mean, really, it's amazing. We tend to overlook all of this because we're used to it, because this is the civilization in which we live. We take for granted, Western civilization, we take for granted the fact that we live in modernity, if you have a cold, you have the flu, you just run down to a store and get medicine, or we take all this stuff for granted. This stuff is the painstaking labor of literally millions of people over hundreds of generations. That's what's brought us to this point. And that just, I think we should sit back and marvel a little bit at that. This is the culture. The culture brought us here. I know that there are atheists out there who say it has nothing to do with culture. It has nothing to do with J.O. Christian values. It has nothing to do with old-fashioned Greek reason and purpose-driven telos. That's nonsense. Okay. It's all part of a whole. The reason that you're able to sit on a plane and listen to Bach, right, the music of Bach, a religious man, on your iPhone hundreds of years after Bach died. The reason that you're able to sit on a plane and listen to Bach, the music of Bach, a religious man, on your iPhone, |
| 3:42.6 | hundreds of years after Bach died, the reason that you're able to sit on a plane that takes you across the country in two hours, three hours, in a journey that used to take you weeks. This is all because of free market capitalism. It's all because of innovation. It's all because there were people who felt driven to change the world because, yes, |
| 4:16.1 | there was a religion that was dictating that was important for them to change the world and make it better for other people. So all of this is worth appreciating. So that was all the light stuff. Now we get to all the crappy stuff. So here we go. Let's just jump right in into the Mueller investigation and what's going on with the FBI. So I want to start off by talking about where the right wing's head is at. |
| 4:19.3 | Because yesterday I talked a little bit about some people on the right who are suggesting that the FBI is thoroughly corrupt. The FBI has been thoroughly corrupt for years. There was |
| 4:24.3 | even an implication by a man I greatly admire Rush Limbaugh that I thought was completely wrong, |
