The Blaze Radio Network On Demand. We want to talk about our sponsor here briefly. Thank you so much for their sponsorship. It is Relief Factor, a company that has changed my life. Thank you, Relief Factor. If you have a hard time sleeping, if you have a hard time moving, you have a hard time playing with the kids, you want your life back. My son asked me the other day, can we go bowling, Dad?

I was like, oh, no, please. Not bowling. You mean the sport where you take like three steps and swing your arm? Oh my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. Not, not, not. You run a triathlon, right?

Yeah, not good. So anyway, so anyway, if you want your life back to be able to just move the way you used to, try Relief Factor. 100% drug-free, created by doctors, four key ingredients that help fight the body's inflammation, which causes most of the pain. Try it for three weeks. It's so worth it. 70% of the people who try it, order it again, month after month after month.

I do. It works. Relieffactor.com. Go there now. Relieffactor.com. Okay. There's something that the, there's a new tactic being employed by the left. And it came out this weekend or this week.

And if it doesn't backfire, may I use the president's word, bigly, then I think we're in serious trouble. And when I say we, I don't mean the GOP, I don't mean conservatives. I don't even mean we as a country. I think we as a species are screwed. First, it was a commercial ran by Planned Parenthood. And it used a precious-looking little baby in a lullaby. And then these words,

She deserves to be loved. She deserves to be wanted. She deserves to be a choice. wait, wait, wait. What? Am I the only one that's not dead inside? How evil do you have to be to see this beautiful child, to hear a lullaby, see this cooing little baby, and then try to think that this baby could have been killed and it would have been a good thing? I mean, it's just, really, it's crazy.

You know, if you were struggling, this baby deserves to be loved, unless it was inconvenient for mom. And then mom should have killed it. Oh, my gosh. Now, this was just the first crazy ad. The second crazy ad, I don't even know what it's about. I had to ask around, what the hell is this? Selene Dion, everybody's personal favorite. Celine Dion has just launched a new clothing line.

You know, that's just what I've been waiting for. I mean, I've been hearing the clamoring all around the streets of America going. Could we just get a clothing line from Celine Dion? Well, yes, yes. She now, she's launched her clothing line with a little mini movie style commercial. But I have to warn you, it's one of the creepiest things you'll hear. well, I was going to say all year, but we're still three, four weeks away. We might hit something even more creepy by the end of the year.

Listen to this. Our children, as we are all just links in a never-ending chain that is life. For us, they are everything. But in reality, we are only a fraction of their universe. Yes. Mom and dad. We miss the past. They dream of time.

tomorrow. Oh, that's great. We may thrust them forward into the future. Yeah. But the course will always be theirs to choose. Of course. Now, they're wrapped in pink and blue blankets, but she's about to blow out of her hand some sort of magical, well, it kind of looks like ashes.

And it floats around the room of this nursery in a hospital. And all the blue and pink goes. away. It all goes away. Oh, isn't that great? And then everybody's wearing black and white. Because our children aren't really ours. Yes, they're the focus of our lives, but we're just an insignificant little nothing to them. Uh, Celine, it doesn't make me want to buy your baby clothes. Uh, in fact, it makes me want to do the opposite. Uh, really does. Really does. Really does. Um, this is Marxist propaganda. Now our children are not our children.

And this has been coming for a long time. Now, Celine loves this because, isn't she Canadian? Canada's been on this, this whole thing of, oh, you know, your children, you know, they're your children until we tell you they're not your children. Because really, they belong to all of us. You know, the great we. Oh, my gosh. By the way, does anybody know what 1984, they claim that George Orwell may have stolen this idea of 1984.

In 1984 is a big government. It controls everybody. Everybody has a number and a name and big brothers watching you. But it's actually, and now that I've read the book, I think you can make a pretty strong case that it was stolen from a Russian novel in 1922. You know what the name of that in the Russian novel is? We. We. Have you read Anthem by Einrand? Where nobody can say I or me. Each individual is we because the individual doesn't exist.

You're not an individual. You're part of the collective. You're just a spoke on a giant wheel. That's all you are. And, you know, if we start to run down to too many spokes or, you know, not enough spokes, you're not really even a spoke. Because you have to be identical to everybody else and you're just part of the collective. This again is Marxist propaganda. And Celine Dion is shown in this little mini-movie breaking into the hospital nursery where she delivers the line,

They have the right to choose. Oh, really? Which turns the hospital into some Orwellian, you know, black and white room, removes all of the pink and blue and changes all the boy-girls, you know, symbolism into like hospital crosses that are just black. Honestly, it looks like they're almost wearing prison clothes. It's beautiful. No, I seriously, I love my kids so much where they just everything is black and white in their world.

You know, gray? Oh, if we could get them those Nehru jackets. If we could get them the old communist, you know, like Mao jacket for the kids, wouldn't that be cute? The scariest thing about the past seven days or so is I haven't heard any real backlash from either of these. Have you seen a backlash where a beautiful baby is used as a choice? It deserves to be loved, deserves to be wanted, and deserves to be a choice. Mom should be able to kill this beautiful baby.

Are we dead inside? Are we so... Are we so Marxist now? Has the cultural Marxist movement washed over us so much that we're now either just dead inside from all of it? Because we just, I don't know. It's just, where are we starting to believe it? How long are we going to allow this crap? How long before we all start standing up and saying,

No, our children are our children. That's my child. My child. My child is an individual. My child is not a number for the state, not part of the collective. It's my child. I have the responsibility. No government.

No Marxist, no capitalist has any claim to them. And gender? You know, I really feel. I really do feel for Bruce Jenner. I will call Bruce Jenner, Caitlin, out of respect. I feel for him. I feel for the life that he led. I feel my heart breaks to think the guy that was on my Wheaties box.

At the whole time felt like he wasn't himself. He spent his whole life hiding. That is horrible. It's just horrible, but he's still Bruce Jenner. He's still a guy. He might have changed his name, and if he wants me to call him Caitlin, I'll call you, Caitlin. Because I don't want to be a part of any of your pain. But if you have to put me on the stand and say, is that a male or a female?

That's a male. It's a male, period. It's Bruce Jenner. And I can understand, but I am not going to change reality. Now, if Bruce Jenner wants to become Caitlin Jenner and wants to have surgery and everything else, he's an adult. He can do that. He can do that. You have a right to do that.

But it is child abuse. Child abuse to suggest that a 10-year-old should be giving hormones, that a 10-year-old should be allowed to choose at that point. This is crazy talk. Any attempt to trivialize and to diminish life. Any attempt to trivialize or diminish the family. Any attempt to trivialize or diminish the individual into the basic we. Any attempt to trivialize or dismiss basic science should be met head on. Now, I don't know. how many people can still stomach hearing my heart will go on one more friggin' time. But please, for the sake of sanity, Celine, I'll buy a ticket to your show.

I'll endure that if you will just close your mouth, stop trying to preach Marxist propaganda, and we'll listen to your damn. Oh, my gosh, the boat is sinking song. It's Friday, November 16th. You're listening to the Glymbeck program. She has a right to speak out. Yes, she does.

Yes, she does. And you know what? I'm not going to protest her show saying, you know, she doesn't have her right to say anything. Could we play from yesterday? I just want to play those students again from out front of the Ben Shapiro's speech. These are college students.

Here's what we should not do to Celine Dion. Do you think you should speak tonight or no? No. Not at all. About free speech and the Constitution has it worked. That's a good point, but he shouldn't be allowed to have free speech if he's going to preach the kinds of things that he can do. Okay, stop for the second. Stop right there.

Stop right there. So wait a minute. You shouldn't have free speech if you're a lot of. going to preach the things that he's preaching. Okay. Well, then there is no free speech. There is no free speech. Free speech is all about politics.

It is all about life. It is all about pushing the boundaries of ideas. That's what freedom of speech is. That's why we have it protected. What do you think the founders did that? Because they were speaking against the government and there were only 20% it was about 20 to 25% of the American population that believed we should break away from the king 25% so this wasn't of the majority thought

in fact a lot of Americans thought they were very very dangerous oh my gosh they're going to get us all killed but they continued to do it and the king wanted to silence them And they said, no, we are not subjects. We are people. That was heretical. That was something. That's a completely new idea. Now you want to silence people?

No, freedom of speech is absolute. I'm sorry. And by the way, I can prove this to you because while on tour, I went into crowded movie theater. and shouted fire. In every stop, in every city, I was on stage. Fire! Was I arrested still?

No, but that did really happen. Yes. You can, in a crowded movie theater, cry fire. There is no law against that unless your intent is to cause panic, to cause chaos to to lie to cause people to be trampled to death

if you really think there is a fire you can do it or if you're trying to make a point you can cry fire you can't do it if you're trying to get people trampled to death so no the freedom of speech as long as you're not trying to to get people killed.

And even that is questionable. Because you could say that's what the founders were preaching. The founders were preaching people getting killed. Yes, they were talking about war. So let me pick up the rest of it, because this is the most important part that we heard from these college students being interviewed about why Ben Shapiro should not be heard. Specifically, what? does he say? I don't know what he said specifically.

I don't know what he said specifically. I just don't agree with his platform. Okay, stop. Okay, so, so what, what is, what is Ben Shapiro's platform? What is it? They don't even know. Now, here is the, here's the really hopeful part. I talk to millennials. I meet with millennials. The millennials that I know, the millennials that I work with, they are hungry. They're hungry. They're starving. And here's what they're starving for. They're starving not for somebody to tell them what to think and what to say. Here, just chant this back. Mike check, mic check. Just follow me. They can get that anywhere and everywhere. Every teacher they've ever had is told them what to think. Society tells them what to say, what's popular, what's not popular. Where to stand at all times.

Get in a single file. Get in a single file. Hey, by the way, we are all individuals here. We're all, we are for freedom, absolute freedom. We're not like those fascists. Get in the single file. Get in a single file. Repeat this.

Like I said, we're not about fascism here. We're fighting. Get in line. At some level, millennials know that doesn't make sense. Now, they may not have even thought of it that way because they're not encouraged to think. But the minute you engage a millennial and you start asking them questions and not questions to trap them, just questions, honest questions, to hear their point of view and to continue to pull at that thread.

It doesn't last long because all they've been told is get in line. they're starving for someone to help them understand the world. They're starving for someone to teach them how to question and how to find the answers. They've got enough people trying to tell them what the answers are. They don't have anybody trying to teach them how to find the answers on their own. I reread a book last night that, that I want to share with you when we come back. Our sponsor this half hour is My Patriot Supply.

My Patriot Supply is, do you have food storage too? You do, don't you? Yeah, from My Patriot Spot. And you were not a guy who was on that bandwagon for a long time. Oh, no. It was one of my favorite things to make fun of you about. Yeah. What was it that got you?

What was it that made you say, I think I used to do this. These two little humans have been walking around my house a lot. And when you realize you have kids and you think, hey, one of these things is not just, you know, you that could be screwed or, I mean, my wife can probably figure it out. But honestly, like, you know, you have kids. You actually feel like maybe you're a responsible adult at this point. Yeah. You probably prepare for things. So it's a great relief when you as a dad have prepared and you have that.

You can check that box and say, no matter what happens, I die tomorrow. and the family has no money coming in. My kids are going to be okay for a while. My family's going to be okay. I can't tell you what a relief that is when you actually realize that. But we're not talking about you dying or even fires or earthquakes or hurricanes, although those things seem to be happening an awful lot. My Patriot Supply is there.

They can give you now their two most popular emergency food kits on their website, prepare with glen.com. You're going to get a special price. Food kits include breakfast, lunches, and dinners that last up to 25 years. Prepare now. You see this snowstorm in New York last night? I mean, there were people just stuck for hours and hours and hours and hours, and there's nothing open.

They couldn't get out. I mean, even then, it's a great thing to have. Preparewithglen.com. Go there now. Preparewithglen.com. So we are just a few days away from gathering with our families and thinking I've got to get into the kitchen before I stab this person with a fork. How many times you get up and say,

you know, I got to say, you don't want anything to drink? Anybody want anything to drink? You know, that's what's been happening with our holidays and we're having a hard time talking to each other. I want to share the way you can, you can actually make a positive impact with your family this holiday. And it is,

It's so simple and so brilliant that it obviously didn't come from me. So you can trust it. But we'll do that next. Welcome to the program. So yesterday, this guy, this kid in junior high calls me up and he says, Glenn, I'm having a really hard time educating my friends because they don't really want to hear it. And I can be, I don't remember the word he used exactly. But it was basically, I can, I can get heated at times.

Belligerent. Yeah, a little belligerent. Was that the word that he used? I don't remember, but that's, yeah. It was probably not that strong, but it was in that neighborhood. And so he asked for advice. And the thing that came off right off the top of my head was, you need to read how to win friends and influence people. Now, I haven't read this probably since I was a teenager.

This is my dad. My dad was, I mean, how to influence and influence people? That's the greatest book I've written. I'll change your life. Last night I reread it, and it was like having a conversation with my dad.

And I realized where so much of what I believe comes from. I mean, if you really want to know who I am or the basis of me, a cornerstone. of me. It's this book. And it's amazing. It is amazing. I had forgotten how good it was. You're going to have dinner. Welcome to the program, Pat Gray. You're going to have dinner with your relatives who are absolutely on the wrong side of every argument. Here's how you, here's how you have a really good Thanksgiving. I'm just going to, I'm going to give you the highlights.

fundamental techniques in handling people. Number one, don't criticize, condemn or complain. Human nature does not like to admit fault. When people are criticized or humiliated, they rarely respond well. Two, give honest and sincere appreciation. Appreciation is one of the most powerful tools in the world. People will rarely work at their maximum potential under criticism. Three, arouse in other, in the,

the other person, an eager want. Together we want from another person, we must forget our own perspective and begin to see things from other people's perspectives. Six ways to make people like you more. Be genuinely interested in other people. Two, smile. This is something my father did.

If he told me that story one more time. My father was, look, he was horribly abused. as a kid and he had nothing to go on. So he just looked for great ideas. He was kind of a Willie Loman kind of guy where he just didn't have a lot of friends and he just worked all the time. But his friends I found out later in life were people like this, Norman Vince Appeal,

that were just his book friends. And he would take these ideas and he would apply them. And he told me, he said, son, he said, I want you to do this. He said, I did this when I was like 18. I walked down the streets of Seattle. And he said, I walked down one side of the sidewalk, one side of the street. And I frowned at everybody. And I just kind of looked at them and just kind of dismiss them.

And he said, everybody I met was a grump. He said that I crossed the street after a few blocks. And I decided to smile. And everyone I met on the other side of the street greeted. me with happiness. He said, so either there's a problem, you're on the wrong side of the street, or it's what you're putting out. This is Norman Vincent Peel. Again, smile. Remember that a person, remember a person's name. Oh, that's a really hard one. Be a good listener. Encourage people to talk about themselves. Talk in terms of other people's interest.

Blah, blah, blah, blah. Okay. Now listen to this. If you apply these at Thanksgiving, you're going to find a completely different atmosphere. Listen to these 12 ways to win people to your thinking. One, the only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it. Whenever we argue with someone, no matter if we win or lose the argument, we all still lose. The other person will either feel humiliated or strengthened and will only seek to bolster their own position. We must avoid arguments whenever we can.

Two, show respect for other people's opinions. Never say you're wrong. How many times have we said that? How many times have I said that? We must never tell people flat out that they are wrong. It will only serve to offend them and insult their pride. No one likes to be humiliated. We must not be so blunt.

That's the word that kid used. Blunt. Yeah. Three. Three, if you're wrong, admit it quickly. and emphatically. Whenever we're wrong, we should immediately admit it. Four, begin in a friendly way. If we begin interactions with others in a friendly way, people will be more receptive. Five, start with questions to which the other person will always answer, yes. That is, that's the theory of, in my book, about the unum. Where do we agree? Where do we agree? Find the things that we agree on. Start there.

Let the other person do a great deal of talking. Number seven, let the other person feel the idea is his or hers. Try to see things from the other person's point of view. Other people may often be wrong, but we cannot condemn them. We must seek to understand them. Success in dealing with people requires a sympathetic grasp on the other person's viewpoint. Nine, be sympathetic with the other person's ideas and desires. People are hungering for sympathy.

they want us to recognize all that they desire and feel. If we can sympathize with others, they will appreciate our side as well and it will often come around to our way of thinking. Now think of that. When people say, I don't want to know what they're thinking, I don't want to because it's wrong.

Well, no, no, no, no. You're looking at the solution. Listen to what they're feeling. What their feeling is real. Their solution may be bogus, but what they're feeling. And think about you. Where is a lot of this anger coming from? This anger is coming from the place where we don't feel heard.

If the media would actually listen to us, actually listen to us, our world would be a lot different. If they reflected our point of view and if they would look at us and say, well, that's not racist. Wait a minute. You have to understand what these people are feeling is a loss of the country that they grew up in. A loss of the values that they grew up in. And those were values that have been here for 5,000 years. They're not racist or xenophobic. They're having all of the basic principles shift under their feet. Wouldn't you be more apt to listen to somebody who understood you? Dramatize your ideas. Throw down a challenge. The thing that most motivates people is the game. Everyone desires to excel and prove their worth. If we want someone to do something, we must give them a challenge, and they will oftentimes rise to meet it. But be a leader.

Don't give offense or arouse resentment. Begin with praise and honest appreciation. Call attention to people's mistakes indirectly. No one likes to make mistakes. and no one likes to have others point it out in front of other people. Talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the others. Ask a question instead of giving the direct order. Listen to this one.

Let the person save faith. Nothing diminishes the dignity of man quite like an insult to his pride. How many times have we said, for those people who, let's take on our own side, for those people who have been with Donald Trump the whole time, what are you doing what are you doing when you have people that are like for instance me or anybody else when you have people start to come into the tent why would you say well it's about time you were so stupid why would you do that why would you do that welcome them if you have somebody from the other side well you've been wrong your whole life you know it's part of your problem

that we have these problems. They're not. They, stop. They're coming into the tent. Embrace them. Hug them. Oh, man, we're glad you're here. You see this would be, uh, the Clinton thing right now is one that I struggle with because

you know, oh, I know. Where were, where was the media? Where was the left during all of these years where Bill Clinton was the same horrible person he is today? Now, finally, after Hillary's lost a couple times and the family's going, you know, see this, but this is set out to pasture. It's okay. But this is, I think, where we miss the boat because we immediately jump to the media and the politicians.

They're not honest. Yeah, no, it's true. That's not who I'm talking about. Forgive the media for what they're doing. No, let's point out when they're right. Let's point out when they're wrong. And let's welcome them when they're right, you know, if that ever happens. But it's not, we're not talking about them.

I'm talking about the people at your table next week. I'm talking about the neighbors. I'm talking about the people that you work with. This is about one-on-one. This is not about changing the media. This is, or Washington. This is about changing the people around you. Yeah, because we do basically the opposite of everything you just described from the book right now.

We're doing the opposite of all of it. Everybody does. Both sides. One side's worse than the other. Yeah. I don't know. I mean, I think, because I definitely handle issues on this show differently than I would handle them with. friends I was trying to convince.

Oh, okay. Like if I was at, you know, because we do this for a living. Yeah. When you go out at dinner with anyone, they basically ask you lots of political questions because, you know, that's what you do. You talk about the other person's work. And if the person I'm talking to is not on the same side of the issue as me, I tell them how stupid they are. I tell them how dumb they are. No.

It's wrong with you. Why are you such a dumbass? I am not reaching for the check when it comes. You try, you do almost all the things you just listed. And I would do, I do those all the time. Yes. You want to, if you're trying to convince them or at least trying to make them open their mind to the possibility that maybe they're not right. Yes.

You use those things. Now, when we're on the show, I don't do that. Now, a lot of that is, that's a problem. I don't know if it's a problem or not. I'm conflicted with it because part of it is we're talking to an audience largely that understands the basic foundations of what we're talking about. Right. Like this audience, generally speaking, is going to know that higher taxes are bad, right? So I don't need to, I don't need to slow play that and, and, no, but try to convince them of that.

No, but here's where we don't do. Why was Rush Limbaugh so popular in the 90s? Because he taught you how to win an argument. Okay. And he had to teach you. He wasn't talking about how to finesse it. he was just teaching you the basic principles that we now, you say, we all have that this audience understands basics, you know, the basic principles. Okay.

But what we didn't do, that was back in the 90s and that worked because nobody had any of the facts. We needed to have that baseline and we still need to teach people baseline stuff. But now, you know, around 2000, that was over. People, people were condemning Rush Limbaugh. And if you said it came from Rush Limbaugh, well, you roll your eyes. Now it's Fox. Anything comes from Fox? They roll your eyes.

You used to say you didn't want to put your own names on your books. You didn't want to put Glenn Beck on the book because it was just people wouldn't take it seriously if they were on the left. Correct. Correct. So what we need to do is start teaching people. And you can't. Here's lesson number one. Read this book.

How to win friends and influence people. Read it. Because it has all of the answers on how we can move forward. and actually make a difference, not just politically, but also at the Thanksgiving table next week. One thing you don't want to do is just start calling people morons. By the way, Pat, what's the moron trivia score today? 1310, Indianapolis over Tennessee. Ah.

Yeah. The morons in Indiana. Indianapolis beat the morons in Tennessee. Wow. Congratulations. Any spectacular morons today? Yeah, it's a pretty good ones. Okay, good.

We'll hear about those on Monday. Thank you, Pat Gray, for joining us, Pat Gray. and Pac-Ray Unleashed is a podcast that I listen to every day and you should too. All right. Simply Save Home Security. They've been securing about 2 million homes now for quite some time. They are the fastest growing security company out there. Two million homes and businesses across the country.

And the reason why they're growing so fast is because the system, I think, is the best in the business. especially at the price point, you're going to, when you see the price of this system, you're going to be, wait a minute, wait a minute. I think I've been ripped off my entire life. Spoiler alert, you have. Yeah. And the monitoring, which doesn't come with a contract,

you can just, it's month by month, just cancel it any time. It's $14.99 a month. Now, if you order now, if you go to simply safebeck.com right now, and you look at their system, you're going to get 25% off. your system, 25% off. I don't think they've ever done this before. This offer ends Monday, November 26. It's simply safeback.com.

Welcome to the program. I'm glad that you've tuned in today. Bill O'Reilly is coming up in just a second. We also have something really, really, really cool in our number three. Some stories, some actual people. people that have have no reason to come together and they would have been enemies had conflict not happened around them and they came together and were on the same side and at the end of the battle they were like wait a minute I was here against you and the other was like I was here

against you and yet they were on the same side it's amazing it's an amazing story we we have to chair. Also, we are going to be calling somebody else. We, you know, yesterday we pulled, I don't know, 1,400 names from people who we were trying to say, hey, come on down to Dallas and have dinner with us on Saturday for the M1 gala. And nobody could. I'll have stuff to do. I'll hit stuff to do. Well, one was Hawaii. But I think the other one was a, it might have been a movie. It might have been a movie. I'm not really sure. It was one movie. There was one person who said they'd rate their leaves. Yeah. Somebody was clipping their toenails, which I thought, okay, this is getting ridiculous. Anyway, anyway, we have a winner. We're going to talk to her. I really want you to, I really want

you to meet her. And I think you'll, I think you will appreciate her. But I also implore you to go to mercury one.org. This is our annual fundraiser. And we would ask that you would go to mercury one. dot org. See the auction that we're holding, including the only copy of the Gettysburg address for sale at auction this weekend. Check it out, mercury one.org. Hey, it's Glenn, and I want to tell you about something that you should either end your day with or start your morning with, and that is the news and why it matters. If you like this show, you're going to love the news and why it matters. It's a bunch of us that all get together at the end of the day and just talk about the stories that matter to you and your life. The news and why it matters.

Look for it now wherever you download your favorite podcast. All right. Let me tell you about our sponsor this F. Hauer. It is relief factor. Yeah, we've seen a huge change in Glenn over the years because of relief factor, which is good for me, too. It'll help change the lives of people around the person in pain because the person in pain is less annoying. I don't think that's the slogan of relief factor. Is it really?

Yeah, it is. It's a new one. I came up with it. You'll be able to tolerate the people who are in pain. That is so empathetic of you. Thank you very much. You struggled with us, you know, for a long time. Yeah.

And I was at the end of my rope about a year ago. And my wife said, just try it. Just try it. Everybody at work is trying it. And I'm like, it's not going to work. It did. I took it for three weeks. I saw an enormous change.

And I haven't stopped taking it since. And that's about what 70% of the people, people who try it for three weeks. That's about 70% of them do exactly what I did. Oh my gosh, it works. So take it. Relief Factor. Try it for three weeks. If it doesn't work, you know, you're out 20 bucks in three weeks. If it does work, you get your life back. Relieffactor.com. That's relieffactor.com. Glenn Back. Mr. Bill O'Reilly. It has been a pretty hectic week, but I don't know the last week that we went,

not really nothing happened. And I think we should start with your op-ed today, the Trump Media War. Okay, back on, I'm ready to go. Good, then go. The Trump Media War is, I would say, depressing to Americans who are thinking people because it basically signals that there's not going to be any union in this country while President Trump is holding the office, because neither side is going to back down.

All right. But then I took a letter out of my historical collection by Harry Truman, which makes the column really worth reading. And I say, this is nothing new. And Truman just excursing gives examples about how it was so unfair to Abraham Lincoln and George Washington and other presidents. So it really isn't new. What is new is the machines, the tweets,

the hysteria on cable news, all of that is new. But, you know, it seeps into the culture and it makes us a more disagreeable population, Beck. So let me go back because, you know, the first paragraph of your op-ed, which is honestly the only paragraph I read. Mr. Preparation. It was about Jim Acosta. Yeah. So let me go here because you're absolutely right on this has always been this way.

It's just everywhere now. And it's in our own personal life. And we are participating in sharing it now. So it's everywhere. But let me specifically go to Jim Acosta because I'm really, I'm, I'm, I'm sick of this debate here. I think, and correct me, tell me where I'm wrong here. I think the president taking away Jim Acosta's pass, White House pass, is justified in this case because Jim Acosta needs somebody, should be CNN, to say, Jim, there are rules. And you can ask a follow-up question.

It used to always be, sir, I have one question and I'd like a follow-up. Yes, go ahead. Then the follow-up. He would not stop asking questions. The president answered. He really tried to answer to the best of his ability and peacefully and nicely. Jim Acosta really didn't even ask a question. He was just trying to condemn the president.

He was picking a fight with the president. CNN should have said, Jim, stop it. We don't behave that way. And I don't care how the president behaves. We're not going to behave that way. So the question is, is this a freedom of speech issue? or freedom of the press issue. I don't think it is.

No, it's a quality control issue. I'm Bill O'Reilly.com. That's where the column that you refuse to read it, and, Beck, you're wealthy enough to have people read it to you. Oh, I can't pay people enough to... I can't follow you and read it. Oh, they can't do it. They're like, please...

The columns on Bill O'Reilly.com, and yesterday, we brought in a guy, a lawyer, former prosecutor, who went down by line over CNN's, complaint and pointed out at least a dozen inaccuracies in the complaint to the federal judge. They were flat out wrong and provable wrong. You could see it with your own eyes. And I said, well, will that influence the judge? The CNN's not telling the truth about Jim Acosta and the what happened in the White House briefing room. Will that? He said, well, it shouldn't influence the judge's ruling on the constitutional request, but it'll tee off the judge because the judge will

see that CNN is lying, which they clearly were in the complaint. So that tells you that CNN has no interest. Give me the lies, because I miss that. And that sounds like the first segment. That's why you're by Bill O'Reilly.com every night. I know. It sounds like the first segment in three years that I've been interested in. Oh, come on.

He's just a jealous guy. He is, Bill. I agree with you. Rub some of that pain killer on your forehead right now. We is? Gee. Okay. Okay. Okay. So basically CNN alleges in its complaint to the federal judge that Acosta simply asked a question. That's that's lie number one.

Yes. Not what he did. All right. He harangued the president and insinuated that he was lying when he labeled the caravan an invasion. Correct. That's not a question. It's an insinuation and a harangue. And everybody knows it. nobody's going to say it isn't. Even the people at CNN wouldn't say it isn't. Yet the management puts that in writing to a federal judge. Come on.

It's ridiculous. So your question was, shouldn't CNN try to rein in its chief White House correspondent from disrupting a national press conference. And the answer is, CNN wants the disruption. It's the only way they're going to get in the news. Their ratings are horrible. And their business model is to destroy the Trump presidency. So, of course, they're going to say, Jim, you know, go on.

And CNN's not Dan from the White House. They have correspondence that cover the presidential press conference, just not Acosta, because he will not obey the rules of decorum. Well, here's the, let me play devil's advocate. And I do not think this is what's going on. but we have to protect. I don't want a, you know, I wouldn't want, you know, Fox News to have, who was it, Major Garrett, was really good at holding Obama's feet to the fire.

Jake Tapper, when he was, I think, with ABC, he was really good at holding, they were the only two that did. And I don't want the, hang on, hang on, hang on, just, I've hyped down for a second, man. So, for, I don't want the president to be able to say, I don't like the fact that he asked me tough questions. What I want is they have to be respectful. And those guys were. They were always respectful of the president and the office. That's not what's happening with Jim Acosta.

If he were asking questions, tough questions, he would have every right to do it, and I would celebrate and I would stand behind his right to ask the toughest questions. But that's not what he's doing. But it's obvious it's not what he's doing. And the White House denying him the press pass was not based on editorial content. It was based on behavior. He was misbehaving in their opinion, in the White House opinion.

So now the judge has to make that termination. I have to say, was it the banishment of Acosta based on his behavior or was in an editorial statement? And I think it's clear. clear. That it was behavior. Bill, we'll see if the judge, who is a Trump appointee, comes back today and gives CNN relief.

All CNN is asking for it today is a restraining order against banning a cost, not the whole decision. But what the judge will say is yes or no, you have to give him the pass back, which is the time. Why did he ask for an extra day? I don't know. I believe that this is obviously the judge's big moment in the spotlight,

and he wants to probably go over his decision every word of it because he knows he's going to get hammered either way. Whatever his decision is, the judge is going to get hammered. So he wants to go over a little more time and just get the wording correct. That's speculation, but that's what I would surmise. Bill, separate from the actual court proceedings, because you said something, and I think I totally agree with it, which is CNN wants the disruption. This is the way they're making news. You know, Jim Acosta doesn't care about the truth.

Jim Acosta wants to be a star. He wants to make him, he wants to put himself and elevate himself to the level of a fight with the president of the United States. My question is, just strategically from the Trump administration standpoint, doesn't this elevate him and put him on this platform where it's Trump versus Acosta? And it's giving Acosta everything he wants to be a martyr for the first. First Amendment. Well, Trump sees it differently in the sense that Trump wants to build a wall, not only to keep out migrants on the southern border, but against criticism from the national

press. And part of the wall is convincing Americans that the press will never report accurately on him. And look at this guy. Look at him. So the Trump administration believes that a cost is aggression. helps them by diminishing the press in general. And, you know, I'll tell you what, if you look at the surveys about Americans and how they feel about the American media, they're down there in the 30s now. They don't trust them.

They don't like them. So it could be something to that. So that's why Trump is doing it. Why did Fox take the stand with CNN? Well, that's an excellent question, Beck. Of course it is. It came from me. I know.

A guy who doesn't read the research material before he interviewed. Oh, you know I read every word of that damn thing. I had to take no dose to get through it. I know, Beck. This is a evaluation on the Glenn Beck radio program based upon my knowledge of what is happening at FNC. Okay. regime change that happened when roger ailes left the company now the new people are not um of the same mindset of mr ales all right that's number one so there has been a change a shift

and the shift has basically been we have to become more mainstream not more liberal all right but more mainstream we have a powerful brand um we uh we uh have a the loyal audience, and now we have to get closer to the other national media. That's what we want to do. That is the strategy. That won't work. Okay. Well, maybe not.

Well, I mean, what is mainstream? Why they did what they did? Right, but what does mainstream mean? We want to be closer to the mainstream mean. They want to be in the club. They'll never be in the club. Well, we celebrated when you and I were there. We celebrated the fact that we weren't.

not in the club. We enjoyed the maverick status, which propelled Fox News to the top of the news ratings. Right. That attitude, like, we don't care about the corrupt media because we know they're not telling the truth. And we're happy we're not in that club. That has changed. The day that Fox News fires their entire prime time lineup, and to replace it with Shep Smith is the day they would consider consider allowing Fox News into the club

for about two days well that's true I mean Fox News is so demonized by the far left that no matter what it does yeah but Fox News

does not want to be criticized by the Washington Post in the New York Times and CNN so they said okay well we'll throw in with the freedom of free peace freedom of press movement

and we'll file an amicus brief and maybe that'll send a signal that we want to be friends. We want to be friends with you guys. Okay, so Bill O'Reilly, when we come back, I want to talk to a little bit about the border and what is happening. And something I actually heard today driving in on, I don't remember what it was, some liberal podcast that I was listening to driving in, and they said, you'll notice that the left or the right is not even talking.

about the border. They don't even care about the border. They've dropped that. No, no, no, we're talking about it. We're very concerned about it. In fact, I'm wondering what the president is going to be doing about this now. So we go to the caravan and Mexico and how Mexico has provided police escorts to our border when Bill O'Reilly comes back. By the way, Bill O'Reilly, new book, Killing the SS. I tell him I haven't read it, but I've read every word of it in his Fantastic. It is a great book, Killing the SS. All right. Our response to this F hour is X-Chair. X-Chair is a great, great office chair.

X-chair is, you know, so many of us, we sit in these chairs that are really uncomfortable.

We have to consider more than just the price. We have to consider also people are spending more time in their chair than they do usually in bed. And the chairs can get really uncomfortable. Now, you don't have to go out and spend a whole bunch of money, a buttload of money on a great chair. The ex-chair is here.

And it makes the perfect gift for a hardworking employee or a spouse. and also if you're looking for office chairs, this is a great, great office chair. It's one that you kind of sit in and you're like, yeah, this, I deserve this chair. And it is not crazy expensive by any stretch. Don't go out to Staples and buy another chair. If you need a good office chair, X chair, X chair.

Mr. Bill O'Reilly. I am here. Thank you. You are just doing a roll call. Bill, you know, I enjoy our talks. I hope so, Beck. I mean, you know, I mean, you can't even do it. You learn.

You learn and you. You cannot do it. He cannot do it. He can't. He's incapable of saying, you know, me too. Me too. Well, I wouldn't do it if I didn't like it. Okay.

So, Bill, talk to me a little bit about the border and what's happening? Well, first of all, you know, we were told that it was mostly women and babies and children marching to the border. Remember we were told that? Yes. And then we were told that they're never even going to make it to the border. Right. So now the latest picture is, uh, from. San Diego sector, where it seems that most of the migrants are going, have baby carriages

on top of the wall. Did you see that? No, I didn't. It's weird. I'm seeing like 20-year-old guys. It's weird. Oh, oh, I thought I saw a baby carriage, right? No.

On top of that 10-foot wall. Yeah, no. And then going, let me in. Let me in. Okay. So, number one, Americans should know. that all of the reporting on this situation has been a giant lie and a ruse. So what has happened is that this organization, Pueblos and Frontierrez,

received a grant of anywhere from $10 to $20 million. All right. Organize these people in Honduras and other countries to come here. Where do the grant of $20 million come from? It came from the usual suspects, the far-left crews, that fund all of the open border stuff. In Hungary, a law was passed against George Soros specifically. The law says anyone giving money to aid illegal immigration into Hungary will be charged

of the felony. Did you know that? Yeah, I did. That passed the parliament in Hungary. That is a law. They call it the anti-Soros law. Unless you're on the last. and they call it the anti-Semitic law.

Yeah, you know, but it's mostly, mostly, okay. So anyway, the goal is to break the asylum system in America. Why are you seeing record numbers of families coming across the border and being detained? They're being told the migrants in Central America and in migrant. If you get here with your children, you get in. And that's largely true, as there is a three-year backlog to hear asylum. cases soon to be four years, if any of these thousands of people get in and ask for asylum. So that is a strategy.

People should know the overall strategy of this. It's to break the system apart so that anybody could come here and ask for asylum, and their case won't be heard for six years. Meantime, they're released into America. And there's another thing going on. I don't know if anybody picked this up. In the trial of El Chapo, currently underway here in New York, he is the cartel kingpin. There are allegations being made that the president in Mexico, Nieto, was being paid by El Chapo.

Well, a shock. Yeah, not a shock at all. All right, El Chapo, not only a drug dealer, but a people smuggler. Okay. So now we have that. And now the new president coming into power in about three weeks has said, I'm going to legalize all drugs. in Mexico. I want to make them legal. Oh, that'll be good. That'll be good for America.

So that's another reason, and Trump hasn't picked up on this, which is amazing to me, because that's another big argument for the wall. So you're going to have legalized narcotics, not pot. Legalized poppy fields, heroin labs, everything. And you don't want a wall? Okay. All right. We're going to pick it up there with Bill O'Reilly, because, honestly, that kind of takes the Al Capone out of the booze business, but I want to hear Bill's opinion on that.

Glenn, back, Mercury. I've been sleeping on my Casper mattress for a while, and I would pick it over any mattress that I have ever had. In fact, I did pick it. I bought it, sent it to my house. I tried it for, I think, five days. I actually was honest, which I don't know if everybody appreciates this, but I said, I'm not sure I like it.

Well, it took me a few more days before I really started to have my body settle down. I love this bed. It is Casper. It's a no-brainer. All you have to do is just order it and try it for 100 nights. If you don't have the experience that I have, they come and pick it up and they refund every single dime. So put Casper to the test in your home.

The only way to test a mattress is by sleeping on it night after night. Risk free for 100 nights. Casper.com slash Glenn and use the promo code G-L-E-N-N. That'll get you $50 towards the purchase of your brand-new mattress. At casper.com slash Glenn, promo code, Glenn. Get $50 off the purchase of select mattresses at casper.com slash glen. You're listening to the Glenn Beck program. Bill's some news just broke that the judge has sided with CNN on...

Yeah, I see it. Yeah. Your thoughts? Well, you're so lucky to have me here. I know I am. It'll be interesting to see if the White House appeals. Because basically the judge is saying, this is Timothy J. Kelly, you can be rude, you can be disruptive, and he says it. All right, you can do whatever you want and not lose your credentials.

That doesn't make any sense. So, okay. That doesn't make any sense. Yeah. Well, certainly he will be overturned. I think by the Supreme Court. And, you know, if they appeal it to the liberal appeals court in D.C., they'll lose. But if they want to bring it to the Supreme Court, they'd win.

No doubt in my mind, it went. But the other way to handle it is, all right, Acosta, you know, here's your press pass back, and never mention him again, never recognize him, never call on him, just freeze them. So what do you do then? Then if he disrupts the press conference, if he like, Iowa, my question, you haven't called on me or whatever, then you can say, thank you, ladies gentlemen, we'll see you soon and walk off the stage.

He won't do that. You could do that. You could do the passive-aggressive thing and just ice them, or you could try for the big, you know, Kahuna and have the Supreme Court say, no, the government does have a right on its own property to regulate disruptive behavior, not editorial behavior. There's nobody in their right mind. You cannot run a society. There is no civilization without being civil.

That's right, without rules. Right. So, I mean, this doesn't make any sense at all. You cannot just act any way you want. The Trump administration, the first thing you have to do is make some rules and distribute the rules. They don't have those now. That's a problem. But again, if they did, then they sue on that.

Oh, you mean, you're limiting our assets. access to the president, limiting what we can't do it. We can't do. Bad ruling. What are you going to do? This is our democracy. This is the way we do it. Okay. But the Trump administration has a couple of avenues to go if they want them. Let me go back to the border. You say that the new incoming president of Mexico says he's going to legalize all drugs. Doesn't this take the Al Capone? No. No. This all is doesn't. cut the overhead for the cartels so they don't have to bribe as many Mexicans

and hire as many gunmen and shoot at the police in the army. Wait, but you don't have to shoot at the police if it's legal. I know. That's who it cuts their overhead. So they don't have to spend that. All right, and it only goes, oh, thanks. Where do they make their money back? Not Guadalajara,

not Mexico City. They make their money in Chicago, New York, L.A. and all American cities. So it just makes it easier for them to bundle up their product, and send it El Norte. So this is the best thing that could possibly happen to the cartels. So what does that mean for America and our policy?

It means. Twice as many hard drugs here. No, no, I mean our policies, our policies. For instance, I am, I'm done with Mexico. When they, when they escorted those buses, they escorted the buses with Federallis to our border. That's not what a partner does. They're doing that to protect the migrant. Shush.

You know, people who would beat them up and rape them. Ruck. I've been done with Mexico for a long time. And I did go down there in the spring to Baja, and I did some reporting down here about how they were handling their military and dispersing them to fight the cartels. That's all gone. But now the argument for a border wall becomes even stronger when you say,

okay, so now we have a free fire zone in Mexico. They can do anything they want. in hard drugs, so we got to make it harder for them to get it into America, no. And the, they still, the liberals still wouldn't put the wall because eventually they want legalized hard drugs here. You know, it's interesting, I'm watching, switching back on the TV, Fox News is ignoring the ruling. I know that.

And then CNN's doing, having a limbo party. Limbo lower now. I did that. And this is so funny. You know, how this whole media thing is now based on Trump. Everything, 100% of it is Trump. They don't have anything else. They're going to have to run Andy Griffith reruns if Trump, you know, takes a vacation for two weeks.

It's, they don't have anything. Go ahead. Bill, let me change subjects here. You know, I do a, I write. I run a charity as you run yours. And this weekend we're having an auction to raise funds. And I just wanted to bring a couple of things to your attention, because I know you collect, you know, rare writings.

We are, we've formed a partnership with the Lincoln Museum in Illinois. And they're the ones who have the original Gettysburg Address. And as you may know, there's the only Abraham L. Lincoln made a copy of it, and there are no other copies. This, we have asked them, and shockingly they said yes, if they would make a high-res certified copy off of the original. So it's the only copy of the handwritten Gettysburg address that we know of that is, that is, you know, up for auction and existence. and I just wanted to bring it to your attention that, you know, the bidding.

Are they going to make a lot of copies or just one? No, this is it. This is it. Are they going to make one high-res? This is it. I'm holding it right now. This is the only copy that they have ever made and they will make. I might bid on that deck.

So can I put you down for a number? Well, what do you have now? $3 million. That's what you have. No, the bidding, I don't even know. Do we have a bid on this yet? Yeah, but he's going to, I got to nail him down to a price now. What kind of, what do you know the number?

15,000 is the, is the opening bid there, Bill. You just triple that at least. Huh? All right, I'll go, I'll go, I'll go, I'll go 20. You go 20,000? Yep, from Mr. Bill O'Reilly. Wow. Wow.

Nice work, Bill. What a guy. What a guy. Yeah, I am a swell guy. You really are. You're a great guy, and you've just bought something that Glenn wrote down with a pencil, a half hour before the show started. You know, I'll frame it and put it in my garage.

Bill O'Reilly. A picture of Beck forging this, by the way, if you do, I'd like to have that. All right, Bill. Thank you so much. God bless you. Thank you. All right. Happy Thanksgiving to all you guys.

And check out killing the SS. Great gift for anybody who likes history for Hanukkah Christmas and all of that. It is a great book. Thank you so much, Bill. Appreciate it. All right, guys. Cheers. I want to show, if you happen to be watching us, I want to show you something else that is up for auction tomorrow.

It is directly behind Stu. Can we get a camera on that by any chance? It is directly behind Stu. This is, I think this is one of my favorite pieces that we have in our museum collection. This, again, is a high-resolution copy. But this is the first draft of the Declaration of Independence. And this is truly remarkable. because you can see Ben Franklin,

Thomas Jefferson, and John Adams. They all signed where they changed things. They were making, it's like a, it's like a Google Doc where you change things, and then you have to say who changed it and why and when. And then Thomas Jefferson would go back and click on the change if he approved it. And it is remarkable because,

It has on the third page, Thomas Jefferson, his handwriting changes. He capitalizes the word men. The only words that are capitalized in the Declaration of Independence are United States of America. And in this copy, the word men. And it's not all men are created equal. It's when he's talking about the slave trade and how this Christian king is enslaving people and then selling capital letters men and how he is violating the the the most basic

of rights of men from a different continent by bringing them over on this hemisphere it's truly a remarkable piece this is taken from the original engraving uh from i think it was done in 1820 or 1830 uh and this also is uh is opening up i think think I think this one has a starting bit of like $2,000 or $2,500. I mean, the frame is worth more than that. But it is, it's exceptional. It's just exceptional. So if you would like to bid on that or any of the other things that we have up for

auction, you can go now and look at what we have up for auction, including, you know, you're spending the day with, uh, with David Barton. And you're going to our vault, our document vault with wall builders. And, I mean, he'll see things you've never seen before. There's up for auction a day with me where we can do anything from learn to paint because I'm taking painting classes to just going through our vaults up here too as well. Didn't we already go through this? You tried to give away a day with you and people kept rejecting it. I know.

I don't think an option is going to be a successful. Well, you know. I'm just saying maybe. Do you think about just bidding on it yourself to spare the embarrassment? Is there something? Bidding does start at $10 on that one. I mean, you might. Just saying there's also Chuck Norris, a tribute Henry Rifle to him and a chance to go to his gala.

You have a VIP gala experience with Chuck Norris and be able to go down there and spend the day with him or the evening with him. It's really amazing. One of the things I really like is learn how to shoot or sharpen your skills with Navy SEALs Dave Lopez and Ephrahm Matos. Now, these two guys are unbelievable Navy SEALs. Can you imagine going to the range with two Navy SEALs who are going to spend the day teaching you how to shoot? Oh, my gosh. That's really cool. I mean, I've done it with Marcus LaTrell.

Marcus LaTrell could change the way I shot. in about three minutes. He's like, go shoot. And I shot. And he's like, okay, dummy, here you go. This is how you actually do it. This is how you do it. First of all, you've got the gun pointing the wrong direction.

But these guys can, I mean, they are pros at this, obviously, and they will change the way you shoot. Anyway, all of these things make great Christmas gifts and all of the proceeds go to help Mercury 1 do the things that we do, which is be there for natural disasters and disasters here in the United States and to help free slaves all around the world. So if you would like to, go to mercury one.org. Also, if you just have a hundred bucks and you'd like to donate it, may I suggest you donate it, but buy a raffle ticket. Because today, if you buy a raffle ticket tomorrow, you could drive away in a brand new Mercedes. And so you're doing good and you might win a brand new car. And we'll call you on that. so Mercury 1.org slash M1 ball.

Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. It's American financing. If you're having financial problems, you might be solicited by a credit repair service to settle your debts for less. But if that happens, that goes against your credit score and you're paying all kinds of fees to the settlement company and taxes on the debt you write off, et cetera, et cetera. There is a better way. and that is a consolidation loan. When you have consolidation loans, you move everything that you owe into a loan that pays everybody off, and then you have a lower payment so you can get all of this behind you.

It actually helps your credit score because you're paying off all of your debt. Your credit's not going to take a hit. And because you're now making a payment that you can afford, your credit score actually goes up because you're making. loan payments and you're staying on time and not getting behind. Get started today on debt consolidation. It's American financing. If you own your own home and you have any equity in it at all, you may be qualified for

this. It'll take you 10 minutes. And it could save you $500 to $1,000 a month. That's $12,000 a year. Call American financing at 800-906-2440. That's 800-906-2440. Get out from behind the eight ball. Do it now.

Are you dreading that awkward Thanksgiving dinner conversation that inevitably turns to politics? Hey, Susan, could you pass the brown gravy, please? I don't know, Ted. Can it cross your wall of bread without being turned back? Oh, here we go. Don't get trapped. Get prepared by reading Glenn Beck's new book, addicted to outrage.

And you might want to pick up a couple of extra. copies for your less enlightened family members. You know, immigrants built this country. Oh, I'm going to vomit. Addicted to Outrage. The new book from Glenn Beck. Available Everywhere Books are sold. So Michael Little is joining us.

He is actually, who happened to be here, for the event tomorrow for Mercury 1. He's the CEO of the Lincoln Museum and Library up in Illinois, which is this amazing museum that has preserved everything from Abraham Lincoln or as much as they could get their hands on. And I just got a $20,000 bid from Bill O'Reilly. Fantastic. Thank you. Now, he asked, is this the only copy that you guys have made and will make? Yes.

So this is the only copy that we've ever made. And I can guarantee this will be the only copy that we'll make. So this is the original Gettysburg address. We don't know where it is. Yeah, the original Gettysburg address was given to a reporter apparently from New York City right after the speech. And that reporter, the story is, didn't think that the speech would be worth much and just kind of threw it away.

Oh, my gosh. So that's the one he wrote on the way there. Correct. And he was walking off the stage and just handed it to him? And he just handed it to him. Oh, my gosh. And then this one is your copy that only is allowed to see the light of day for three days a year to keep it vibrant.

And this was. was the one Abraham Lincoln wrote for the guy who gave the two-hour speech? Yeah. So, yeah, so Everett, who was the main speaker that day that got up and gave about a two-and-a-half-hour speech, shortly after this event, asked President Lincoln if he would write him a copy of the Gettysburg Address. And this is the only one that has God, under God, in it. Correct. So this is a remarkable thing.

At least see it online. It goes up for auction tomorrow and all of the proceeds. go to Mercury 1, and I think we're actually helping you guys on this as well, because you're helping us. I think the Lincoln Museum and Library up in Illinois is so critical to continue their work. Help, Mercury1.org slash M1Ball. A few months ago, I had a guy walk into my office with his team. and he said, we're really concerned about the country,

and we're concerned about the fact that we're not talking to each other anymore. And I said, wow, me too. He said, I know that's why we're here. Now, this is a guy who probably had people advising him. No, I wouldn't go talk to Clint back. I don't know that, but that would be my general impression. He took probably some personal hits saying that he was going to go talk to Glenn Beck. And he asked me at the time, could you help get your audience to participate in something?

Because without your audience, this won't work. without the people who are in the middle of America and who are not thinking like the, you know, NPR listener, if you will, if they don't participate, this doesn't, this doesn't work. And what they're trying to do is, A, record the voices of people and how people feel right now and what they're really thinking. But more importantly, they're trying to be. bring people together that society would say have nothing in common, but they find their way to each other and to record it.

If you've ever listened to NPR, you might have heard something called StoryCorps, which is really a fantastic record of our society, an audio record of our society. And really only the people who listen to NPR kind of know it. Conservatives don't, and it is tremendous, but our voices are being left out. Dave Isay is with us. He's the founder and president of StoryCorps. Welcome to the program, Dave. Hey, Glenn. Thanks for having me. You bet. So now, did I describe, did I describe what you're doing and how you approach this accurately? Yeah, I mean, just to wind back for your audience, StoryCorps started 15 years ago.

And it's a real simple idea. We put a booth just to start out in Grand Central Terminal where you bring anyone who you want to honor by listening to their story, a parent, a friend, a kid. And you come to this booth and you're met by a facilitator who works for store record. You go inside the booth, the door shuts. You're in a silent space.

Lights are low. And you sit across from your grandmother and you talk to her for 40 minutes. And you know that the microphone gives you the license to talk about things you never usually get to talk about. So many people think of it as if I had 40 minutes left to live, what would I say to this person who means so much to me? At the end of the 40 minutes, you get a copy and another stays with us,

and it goes to the Library of Congress, so your great, great, great, great, grandkids can get to know your grandmother through her voice and story. So it's really about the poetry and the grace and the beauty and the eloquence and the stories kind of hiding in plain sight all around us when we take the time to listen. It started as this kind of crazy idea, and we've now had about half a million people participate.

So it's the largest collection of human voices ever gathered. And because of the nature of what happens in the booth, we're kind of just collecting the wisdom of humanity. It's about, you know, no matter where you are, it's always the great themes of human existence that come out in StoryCorps. People talk about their parents and their kids and, you know, death and what they dream up for their future, how they want to be remembered. And we did. Yeah, go ahead. I was just to say, and when you're recording it and you know this is for history, you take things a little more seriously.

Yeah, I mean, I think it's, my, my, my people kind of hate me saying this, but it reminds us about our mortality. You know, it really kind of shakes you on the shoulder and says like, you know, life is important. Ignore some of the, all the nonsense that's coming in, you know, and it forces you to focus on what really matters to you. So it's a very kind of intense experience. We're a nonprofit and we think of it as, you know, we treat it as if it's a, sacred experience in people's lives. And often it is because, you know, like I, I did a StoryCorps interview with my dad many years ago and then he died, you know, very suddenly. And, you know, the night that he died, I listened to it for the first time. And I knew, I'm, I have young kids and I knew this

was going to be the way they were going to get to know my dad. And, you know, I thought I couldn't believe in StoryCorps any more deeply than I already did. But that night is, you know, when the rubber really hits the road. It's, it's who he is. You know, you know this very well. well from all the radio work you've done. The soul is kind of contained in the voice. So it's a no nonsense. It's the opposite of reality TV. No one comes to get rich. No one comes to get famous. It's just about love, you know. And as you said, I came to you a bunch of months ago, one of my very first meetings to talk about this new thing, crazy new thing we're trying with StoryCorps because up to now, everybody who's participated has known and loved each other.

And, you know, seeing the country kind of coming apart and recognizing, you know, that really there's just such contempt across the political divides that we don't see each other as human beings anymore, the danger, the existential threat that poses to the country. We started experimenting with a new kind of StoryCorps interview. We started with family members, which is easier, family members who disagree about politics, having them come into a StoryCorps booth, not to argue about politics. This is not about finding common ground. It's about recognizing that, you know, frankly that you don't really wish people across the political divides dead yeah it's weird to say that isn't it it's crazy it's crazy but but you know unfortunately you know i came i first met you four months ago

and where are we now it's a hundred times worse than it was four months ago right so um so we started with um with fret with uh family members and friends and then we moved to strangers we just launched a couple of weeks ago and the idea could i could i play could i play one here tell you can i play one here Tell me the story about Amina and Joseph. This comes from the, they were at a March right after the 2016 election. That's right. This is a guy named Joseph Weidnecht, who's a laid off a sheet metal worker. And he showed up at an anti-Trump protest in Austin with a MAGA hat.

And Amdine was a student at the University of Texas, and she was one of the marchers that day. He also had a sign or a t-shirt or something that said, Proud to be a deplorable. That's right. That's right. And they came to StoryCorps, remember the moment that brought them together. Okay, so listen to this, America. Listen.

I noticed you with the hat. And I noticed that you were surrounded by some people. And I noticed that they were being kind of threatening. I heard a click of a lighter right behind my ear. And there were about three people trying to light my shirt on fire with lighters. And then somebody snatched. your head off your head. And that's the point where I,

something kind of snapped inside me because I wear a Muslim hijab. And I've been in situations where people have tried to snatch it off my head. Wow. And I rushed towards you and I just started screaming, leave them alone, give me that back.

I don't think we could be any further apart as people. And yet it was just kind of like this common, that's not okay moment. That's remarkable, Dave. Remarkable because that's, I think, who America really is, but nobody's paying attention to it. Nobody's recording this.

Well, you know, the facilitators who travel the country for StoryCorps and record these stories, they call it, you know, they're basically collecting the wisdom of humanity. They call it kind of bearing witness to these stories. When they come off the road, every single one of them, if you ask them, what have you learned? We've had hundreds of them. they give some version of that Anne Frankline, you know, that people are basically good. And, you know, I think you could say at the beginning of StoryCorps, maybe there was a selection bias, but we've been everywhere, every kind of person, half a million people. And that's the truth.

I mean, in your newscast, I was listening to the story of the homeless, the supposedly homeless guy, the people who did this scam, right? Right. And yeah, and that's like the reality TV world we live in. But for every story like that, there's a thousand, thousand stories of just decency and kindness and honesty. And that is who we are as a country. You know, Mother Teresa used to say, you know, we've forgotten that we belong to each other. And what we're trying to do with StoryCorps is remind people that indeed we do.

Okay. So, Dave, what could, what do you? How can we help you? Well, we want, we want every one of your listeners to participate in one small step. We just launched. And what we're trying to do is a real long-term culture change here. We would love to have people volunteer to be a part of this. It's going to take a little while as we get up to speed.

But if people want to learn more about this, they can go to our website to storycourt.org, or they can send an email to one small step at storycore.org. StoryCorps. And say they want to participate. Right now, we're actually looking for participatory. in Houston. So in particular, if there are people in Houston who want to be a part of this, we'd love that. And we're going to pair you with someone who is on the opposite sides of the political divide. You're not going to know who they are, but we're going to ask you for a, we're going to ask

you for a little bio. We're going to strip your name off it, and you'll get a bio from the other person. So you'll know we've been experimenting with this, how to make this work. And it's important for people to know a little bit about the other person. We're going to match you as someone who's got something in common with you. It could be that you're both single parents or there's a sports team that you like in common. And you'll sit and you'll talk and you won't talk about politics. You'll talk about what you care about, who you love,

who's been kindest to you. And you'll talk about politics in a way that, you know, doesn't drive people into their corners. You know, you'll ask questions like, what is it in your life that kind of formed, was there a moment in your life that formed your political views? What is it that's most hurtful that people say, across the political divides to you? What really bothers you? What is it your respect about people

across the political divides? Why are you here? And we're just, we call it one small step, because it's just, it's one step. You know, if we, if we despise each other, you know, we're never going to get anywhere. And we have to, we have to see the humanity in each other, or it's a real threat to our democracy. You know, democracy can't, can't breathe without hope. And we need hope and we need to respect one another. I mean, I've been thinking a lot about in Nazi Germany, the Nazis used to call Jews

and black folks and others untermentioned less than human. And slavery was built on people being looked at as less than human. And there is a very, very deep danger in seeing people as less than human. And that's just the little piece of this that we're trying to attack and set right.

We have to see each other as human beings. And all of these, so you're not, you're definitely not looking for people who are going in there trying to win. Nope. Nope. This is not about convincing, you know, we ask you just not to talk about politics. But we do hope that you, that you, you know, I think there's, there's, there's, there's just a lot of fear everywhere, you know. And I, there's a great quote that I saw recently. I've seen versions of this.

You know, it's impossible to hate up close. You know, Mr. Rogers used to carry a line in his wallet from a nun in Philadelphia that said, it's impossible not to love someone whose story you've heard. So it's just about getting rid of that fear. You know, we live in a country, I think, where there's less and less hope and more and more fear. And, you know, we're our most dangerous and worse selves were in fear. So it's really about just seeing the other as a person and being with that person just for a little bit of time. Again, they're 40-minute sessions.

And then hopefully we'll get you addicted to StoryCorps. And you'll start listening to these stories and, you know, finding out about people, the lives of people who you may have thought were very different than you. And, you know, recognizing yourself in that person and walking in their footsteps for just a minute. And all of the good and important things that come from that. So I'll tell you, Dave, this works, and I'll tell you how I know it does. There was a guy who is one of the bigger Hollywood writers wrote for some of the biggest TV shows in Los Angeles. And you must be in New York. Yeah, okay.

You hear the science. Yes. Yeah. But he was one of the bigger writers in Los Angeles. And he came out to meet with me on a project. And I wasn't aware that he hated my guts as much as he did. And he started the conversation like this. His hands were shaking.

He said, I want you to know. I have waited for this moment. I have talked to my friends for years what I would say to you if I ever met you. And I want you to know. I hear people tell me all the time. Once they meet you, they like you. But you're not going to work that voodoo on me. And so we sat down and I, for 40 minutes, we only had an hour to meet.

And for about 40, 45 minutes. it's I just listened to him. And I said, we can't talk about anything else until you get all of it. You've got to say all the things you want to say to me. And I just listened to him. In the end, he walked away and he told the people we were meeting with. He said, I feel kind of bad now. He said he was nice.

And we've actually become friends. And we don't agree on anything. Right. But he doesn't want to see me dead, which is, it was not where we are. started and that is remarkable when you and and and it is it's about listening you know and it isn't you know there are issues that we're we're never going to agree on and that's okay and there's and there's and there's a place for you know shouting and fighting for issues but there's also a place for kind of whispering in each other's ears and we need both we we need both of those pieces to be a

functioning democracy all right if if you want to volunteer if you want to find out more just go to storycore.org, story C-O-R-P-S, storycore.org. And it'll give you all the information that you're looking for. But please participate in this. I think it's important and it is going to be preserved for future generations. So Dave, I so respect what you're doing and thank you so much and we'll talk to you again. I hope so. Glenn, thanks for the time. You bet. God bless. Simply safe is our sponsor answer this half hour. SimplySafe is a, is a, is a remarkable system built by a team of people that I know. I think when they started with us, they had, I think there were five of them. And they had, they had started this company and, and they thought, you know, we, we started

this just as something to help our friends. And then it just grew and everybody was saying, hey, can you make one of those for me? And so they did. And then it, grew into SimplySafe. And when we started with them, they were just brand new. Now they have over two million people they're watching. They're starting to, I think they're launching overseas. It is the fastest growing security alarm system company, I think, in the world. And I'm so thrilled to be a partner with them because they're good people that care about

quality and they really think about the way it affects your life because they use it too, and they know how it affects their life. Yeah, and, you know, they've come up with the great technology. They keep it easy. They don't have, you don't have to drill holes all over your house. You know, there's, uh, no contracts. There's no contracts. You can go in and out whenever you feel like it.

It's really great. And it's so, it's always amazing to me. I mean, I still have relatives that don't have a security system at all. 2018. It's like, it's too, you have to have something now. It's, it's time. But you know what? When you're paying 40 or 50 bucks a month, a lot of people are like, it's not worth it.

Yeah, it's not worth it. This is, this is, this is. this is. This is $14.99 a month. $14.99. How is that not worth it? Yeah. And right now they're having a sale.

Mr. Andrew Heaton is joining us. I didn't get a chance to listen to something's off with Andrew Heaton yesterday. And I always learned something new. What did I miss yesterday, Andrew? Yesterday I unveiled a new segment. Yeah, pull your microphone. Thank you. Thank you.

There we are in the little pop thing there. Yesterday I unveiled a new segment called naughty parts around the world. I was going to call it genitals around the world, but I was talked out of that. So naughty parts around the world. You did make sure to work the word genitals in several times. I did. Yes. So you're still fighting against the man.

Yes. This is my small, my small battle is to do that. So this, so it's a segment involving scandals, nudity, things like that. Like Canada's opening up a water, a adults-only nude water park. Oh, who wants to go to that? Gentlemen and Canada. And shrinkly cold Canada. It just seems like a terrible, like Bermuda, I could kind of get that.

I'm with you because I've, I've, no, have you. You seen people at the water park? Oh, God. Well, the water park I have no problem with it. I've been to nude beaches, though. And I can tell you, the kind of people that want to hang out at a nude beach should never be naked, even by themselves at home alone. I mean, I'm to the point where I want to shower in my clothes.

Yeah, that's, you know, well, you're respecting. Well, America, that's just, you know, what you do. I mean, some people say that's Puritan. I'm offended by my naked body. I only take my clothes off when I leave the country. That's how much respect I have for the United States of America. I only see myself nude when I go to Amsterdam every three years. So what other...

The one I think that you would enjoy. The one that I got a kick out of. 30 seconds. 30 seconds? Yeah. Oh, wow. Okay. In the United Kingdom, there's an MP pushing to teach orgasms in school, which I kind of

followed for a minute, but the reason is because there's an orgasm gap between men and women. And I thought, way to bring in Bernie Sanders to sex ed education. And the way to do with this is, I think, to have a higher marginal tax rate on people that have more sex. There we go. Or redistribute. Yes. I don't know how that works. I don't know how that works either, but we should pursue it.

Andrew Heaton from something's off with Andrew Heaton. It's a new podcast. Make sure you subscribe. It's very good. Glenn Back, Mercury. This is the Glenn Beck program. I don't know if you ever have one of those moments where you kind of question yourself and your existence and all that you do. And I think yesterday was one of those days.

Around this time, yesterday, we had a drawing for people who had put their name in. for $100 to donate to Mercury 1. And the idea was we were going to draw your name the next day. And you could come and have dinner with us at the Mercury 1 gala. And that didn't really go really well. I'm concerned why you'd want to repeat the process from yesterday. Well, because I have, I have, we finally have somebody who wants to join us. Do we have Jody on the phone yet?

Can we call Jody, please? we, you know, she wasn't, you know, she wasn't available yesterday. And so I wanted to actually talk to her. And I'm told that she's, she's very excited. And before we make another drawing for somebody who's going to come to the studios in February, or somebody that we're hoping will want to come to the studios in February, I thought we call Jody. Sarah, we, we, oh, she's on right now?

Jody, are you there? Jody, are you there? Yes, hi, Glenn. How are you? I'm good. How are you? I'm very excited to talk to you. You know, yesterday, you won the trip here to Dallas, Texas. I did.

And why are you? Why am I not coming? You're not going to. No, I was just going to say, why did you say, I did. I did. You're not coming. I'm not coming. And, you know, funny story is that on Wednesday, when you were able to buy the tickets, all day long, I had this voice in my head, buy a ticket, you're going to win.

So at 9 o'clock at night, I finally listened to that voice and I bought a ticket. I went to bed thinking, I'm going to win. And I had to leave my house at 1115 yesterday, and I went to the grocery store and kept getting all these phone calls saying, Glenn just announced your name on the radio. And I was... And so you knew you were going to win, and you bought the ticket because you wanted to win, but you're not coming. And why is it... Please tell me that it's something more important than like a movie.

I hope so. Yeah, what is it? Yes, I actually am a volunteer at one of our food banks or food pantries here in Corny, New York, where I live. and Saturday is our annual Thanksgiving distribution day where we're giving out Thanksgiving baskets to almost 400 of our clients. And I am one of the people that are leading that charge, and it's near and dear to my heart. And although I love you, Glenn. Oh, no, I think this is the best reason. This is the best reason I've heard.

Well, the Hawaii one was good, too. Hi, Jody. My name's Andrew. I'm delightful if you met me. We'd really get along. you're you're skipping the ball to do volunteer work is that right believe it or not yeah wow you were such a better human being than me i'm very impressed with you as a person than i am andrew do what you're much funnier than i am though it's the one thing i got going thank you yeah and i'm tall no i was thinking i don't know if you can count that as a whole thing but um so jody

that is fantastic so tell me about tell me about the the soup kitchen and what you guys do Well, it's a food pantry, and we've been around since 1973, started in the church of a basement of a Catholic church, and have grown over the years to now we have a beautiful facility that affords us to do, not only just give food, but we also, we give cooking classes, and we have a lending library. We do education for the kids in our community, getting them to get involved in community service and learning about hunger, and helping out others that. or not as fortunate as they are. We work with Head Starts. We work with veterans. So we do all that with we have about 100 volunteers. None of us are so paid to do any of this.

And we give away probably about 25,000 people that come through our doors every year. And we give away about 130 tons of food. And it's all on a donation basis, mainly donations and grants that we go out and seek. All right. So may I just, I was just given a note from Suzanne, who's with Mercury 1, and I think this is fantastic. You know, we were going to fly you out and everything else. May we make a donation to your food pantry instead?

Oh, my gosh, that would be absolutely incredible. We would so honor that. Well, we'll make it out in your name for $5,000. How's that? Oh, my gosh, Glenn, you're kidding. Oh, my, I cannot tell you. how thrilled we were on that. You know, for every $5 donated, we can use that money to leverage $28

of food. So I cannot tell you how far $5,000 would go. That is just, it's amazing. Thank you. Well, maybe that is why we were, that's why the spirit was prompting you because this has turned out to be so much better than a meaningless night with us, with us, really. Although that would have been so much fun. It would have been fun. It would have been fun. It would be surprised.

Jody, I'm going to try and push back this little bit. If you decide to come to the Mercury 1 ball, I will give you eight canned goods. Oh. Wow. Wow. That's it. Either way, you get food. Hang on just a second. Jody, he may retract those eight canned goods here if I ask this

question. Are you married? I am. You're taking the canned goods back off the table. Yeah, it was just a scam. Jody, thank you so much. Hold on. I have one quick thing. Jody, I did some back of the envelope math here, and you said that you can get $28

leverage for every $5 in or something like that? Yes. Okay. So Glenn, the foundation giving you $5,000, you could go out and buy a bunch of food. I did some calculations here. You could buy one pound of black truffle, two pounds of Wagyu beef, and two bottles of water from Niagara Falls. Now, how great would that?

Why are you trying to talk her out of it? No, no, no, it's still the same about a buddy. It's just very small and high quality. Jody, thank you so much. I appreciate it. Thank you, Glenn. I so appreciate it. Thank you so much.

God bless. And thanks to Mercury 1 for making that donation. Okay. Are we going to pick another name? Now, this is for the people. I'm not even going to call. I don't even want to call. This is for somebody.

We'll make one call. Again, this is what, yesterday, Andrew, you brought Andrew in to do this. And it did not go well. Would you like to, would you like to? Is it pop? It's possible Andrew's the problem is what I'm trying to. Would you like to draw? No, I don't want to see if Andrew fails again.

Okay, go ahead. This is Lori Burns. And do you want the number? 3129. That's her PIN number, as we've been discussed. Yeah. So if you can just get her credit card number, you've got the PIN number, you can clean her out. That's what a wonderful person we just spoke to.

I know. It does make you feel a little. Yeah. Because, I mean, if I heard from somebody in there, like, I get a free trip For the weekend, I'd be like, soup kitchen thing. I go, yeah, we got, other people are doing that. That's fine. I'll go the following week or something.

I'd figure out a way to make it sound good in my own mind. Right. I wouldn't blow it off in a mean way, but I'd figure out how to do it. No, you wouldn't, and you would, you would absolutely, and then like two weeks later, you'd be like, that really says a lot about me, doesn't it? And you would carry that guilt around for a while. But, Jody didn't have to worry about any of that. I would, I think what I would do is I would come, but on the plane ride, I would think about

charity events that I intend to do in the future to make myself feel good. And then I would forget. I would not actually get around to it. I'd get Saturday morning, I'd be like, you know, I've been pretty tired. I'm going to catch up on the marvelous Mrs. Maisel. That seems like a good use of my time. Okay. Do we have the number going?

There's no answer. So you have, you're O for four? I am. You're O for four. Wait, no, no, no, no. They'll call. They'll call. No, you're not reaching.

I said we're doing one. All right. Doing one. And think about it. It's really nice that Mercury 1 is giving the $5,000. I think they're going to love that truffle. And that's not right. The woggy beef,

the two people that get to enjoy that woggy beef are really going to get a kick out of that. No, that's actually not, that's not what's happening. Okay. Back in just a second. In fact, Michael, can you just come in for just a second? Michael Little, he is the CEO of the Lincoln Museum. Just kind of crawl in. Andrew.

Andrew's very smuggily. He's huggable. You can get right in there with it. Michael is the CEO of the, or C-O-O of the Lincoln Museum and Lincoln Library, tell her to hold. And you have donated, and Bill O'Reilly just bid $20,000 on this. Fantastic. Thank you, Bill. And I don't think it's going to stop there because I just want you to talk me into buying it.

because it is, this is the only copy of the Gettysburg address that you've ever made or ever will make. And you guys have the copy of the Gettysburg address. Correct. We're doing this one time and we're doing it for you, Glenn, because this is a very special occasion. So we've never done this before and we'll never do it again. So this is a really truly, it's a one-of-a-kind item that's only available this one time. It's one time. and this is a high resolution laser copy or whatever it is done by the only person that can even touch the Gettysburg address.

Correct. So. How do you get that on her? How do you, when you're, do you put a job search out like looking for someone who can touch the Gettysburg address? Well, it's somebody that has a lot of skill and she has a lot of letters behind her name so that she is able to work with just incredible. incredible items. So from the... She has no children, right? I mean, because I was... No, no, jam hands or like that yet. Yeah, right, right. And she's just done a great job for it. She's, in addition to the Gettysburg Address, she's worked on the 13th Amendment. She's worked on the

proclamation. You know, she's worked on some just just rare, rare items. What's coming down for the museum in February? We're doing black history. And we've, we've partnered with you and another, What is the name of the other African-American Museum? It's just African-American Museum in Dallas. And so it's going to be quite an amazing collection. And a take on the African-American experience that you just don't see everywhere. Right. What's coming down from Lincoln?

You know, actually, right now, I think we're still working with your team to figure out what would be the best pieces to bring down. So we'll definitely have some incredible pieces. Yeah. Because we do have the largest collection outside the library of Congress for president. President Lincoln, we have the largest collection of Mary Todd Lincoln items and documents. Have you seen her dress we have? Yes. Isn't that amazing?

Oh, it's incredible. We have her funeral dress. Yes. And I don't know. I'm one of the only people allowed to touch it, so I'll have to show it to you myself. But if you actually turn the hem underneath, you can see how quickly it was cut and stitched. It's crazy. Well, the thing is that she probably did it herself.

She was a great seamstress. she pretty much made all of the clothes for her kids. The Lincoln boys were notorious for being wild and not really having a lot of rules. So their clothes were always getting torn and ripped and she would fix them. And people always commented how great the little boys looked, even though they were kind of wild and liked to get into things. By the way, we're so you know, we're taking the money raise for the Gettysburg Address and we're turning it back over to you guys.

I think you're getting every dollar of that. Well, thank you very much. Because we really, the stuff needs to be kept together. And they're having a hard time. They have the hat and bloodstained gloves that Lincoln was wearing at the night he was killed. And this first time that they've been in public hands, they sat in somebody's house or somebody's office in their own private collection. and unseen for so long. And they must remain in public view, in my opinion.

And they've got a lot of money to raise. And we would love to help them if you would like to help 54 Lincoln, 54 Lincoln.com. Just give $5, do $5 a month and help pay for this hat. So it can be seen in public for generations to come. We have Lori Burns real quick. Lori just won to come to our museum in February. Lori? Yes.

Good morning, Glenn. How are you? Can you make it? Absolutely. We are honored. That's a miracle. That's great. Where are you from, Lori?

From the Cal and Texas. Oh, you're from Texas? Okay. All right, good. Great. Lori, thank you so much. Hang on the phone. We're going to get some information, and we can't wait to meet you.

The air filter is there. and when I sell the house, it's just got to be black. That's what you do. When you move in, you change the air filter once and it lasts the lifetime of the whole. No, I just assumed that somebody else had changed it, but I bought it.

FilterbuY.com. So what does Mary had a little lamb and Thanksgiving have? in common. Maybe no? You know the poem? Mary had a little lamb. Police is white as to know. You know who wrote that?

Eminem? No. No. Her name is Sarah Hale, and she wrote, and she's the one that we have to thank for Thanksgiving. Because she wrote, president after president after president, George Washington did the first one.

And so we should have this as a national holiday. And in 1861, we were in the middle of the Civil War or the beginning of the Civil War, and Lincoln said, you know what, we should have a day of Thanksgiving. And it was her work that set the foundation to be able to have Thanksgiving as an official holiday, except up until FDR, it was all set by the governors. We have Thanksgiving, you know, it was up to the governor. And it would float from state to state, but it would always be in this general area,

but it would float. It wasn't until FDR and the Great Depression, he locked it in to this next coming weekend because he was trying to get people to go out and have an extra week of shopping before Christmas to help the business owners. He's the guy who created Black Friday. Glenn, back. Mercury.
