Starting point is 00:00:00 The Blaze Radio Network. On Demand. Okay. Welcome, Stu. Welcome back for, I guess, me. I guess Stu was here last week. We want to thank our sponsor today. It is Brick House.
Starting point is 00:00:18 Brick House. Want us to remind you that superfoods aren't always super. You have to really look at the labeling on them because sometimes, you know, if you see something that says supplement facts, that means it's made from extracts and not real food. Super food is actual food. Hmm. It's an interesting concept. Yeah. You come up with that one yourself? Yeah, when you have the word food in it. It should usually be food. It should be food. It's an interesting line you're drawing, yeah. Yeah, but especially this week after if you ate like I did over the past four or five days.
Starting point is 00:00:52 You probably want your vegetables. Field of greens is what Brickhouseman nutrition has come out with making your vegetables easy to get to. You don't have to deal with downing tons of broccoli. You just, have a scoop at this and whatever you're eating, it's great. Brickhouseglen.com is the place to go. Use promo code Glenn. You get 15% off your first order. It's brickhouseglen.com. So much to talk about.
Starting point is 00:01:12 Brickhouseglen.com. Glenn. Yesterday, after we were told by the press, that this was not going to happen. This was not. That Donald Trump was just juicing the election. That these migrants would never arrive here. Yesterday, an estimated 1,000 migrants from the infamous migrant caravan stormed the border like invaders.
Starting point is 00:01:45 They threw rocks and bottles at U.S. border agents. In response, our agents fired tear gas at the crowd, which gave the media the drama they have been craving. So they could write lines like this from the Associated Press, quote, children screamed and coughed in the mayhem of the tear gas, end quote. The headline might as well have been, Evil America, tear gas is babies. I've told you, I believe I said this on Fox. I know we started to actually predict that this was coming within a year this spring.
Starting point is 00:02:23 What is happening right now is the Palestinian state, is being made on our border. And the United States of America will be made into Israel. Yesterday morning, a group of Central Americans who were just fed up with the conditions in the migrant camps in Tijuana, held a rally urging the United States to speed up its asylum claims process. Currently, the U.S. is processing 60 to 100 migrant asylum applications per day. However, as the march veered toward the border, around a thousand people decided to make a break for it.
Starting point is 00:03:03 They pushed past a Mexican police blockade and tried to squeeze through wire and scale fences. As a result, the U.S. temporarily closed its border crossings between San Diego and Tijuana. Now, apparently, a lot of the migrants' impatience stems from a pending deal between the U.S. and Mexico over how we're going to deal with the asylum seekers. In the past, asylum seekers have been allowed to remain in the U.S. while their cases are processed in the U.S. courts. However, the Trump administration wants the caravan to stay in Mexico while their cases are processed.
Starting point is 00:03:43 Gee, that makes sense because if we make Mexico do that, maybe Mexico will worry about their own southern border. Yesterday's protesters. They hope to make their asylum case in person. to U.S. agents before this potential deal takes effect. Now, it sounds all heart-wrenching, but the fact remains that the 1,000-plus migrants who rushed the border yesterday are trying to expedite the legal process by breaking the law. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:04:16 There is no magic wand. There's no solution for an immigration crush like this. Yes, the asylum application process is going to be slow, especially. when a mob of 6,000 people show up at the border at the same time. Most other countries would be just as slow or slower, unless they were coming from the Middle East. And we've seen how great that's worked out. Frankly, most countries would close their border
Starting point is 00:04:50 and turn this caravan around a long time ago. Here's the truth. America is not heartless, but it is, at least for the time being, still governed by the rule of law. What is it these people are trying to get to America for? I contend the rule of law. Their countries are lawless. We cannot help other people who are trying to escape lawlessness
Starting point is 00:05:21 by becoming lawless ourselves. trying to crash through the border fence is not the way you immigrate to the U.S. It is the way you invade the U.S. It's Monday, November 26th. This is the Glenbeck program. Man, there is so much to go over today. I don't even know where we begin. On the border thing, can we have the Jim Acosta audio?
Starting point is 00:05:58 Do you remember when last? we spoke. We were still talking about Jim Acosta and what he said to the president, how he was kicked out, etc., etc. I want you to listen to what he was talking about because what he was talking about was the migrant crisis. And this is a fascinating thing that's happened because you had the migrant caravan coming. It was a big deal. And what we heard from the media was not whether this was a danger or whether this was real or what the causes of it were or how we should deal with it. it was Donald Trump is basically just talking about this because of the elections coming up. So they all start covering it. Then right after the election, their coverage goes away.
Starting point is 00:06:41 And the only thing they talk about is now that the elections pass, Donald Trump doesn't care about it. Conservative media doesn't care about the caravan. Then this morning, people are talking about the caravan again because there's people running across our border and climbing fences. And what do we get? Do you believe these conservatives? They are still obsessed with this caravan. I thought you said it was only an election issue. I mean, obviously, that's not true if you're complaining about how much they're covering it today.
Starting point is 00:07:07 And you also told us that it wasn't even going to arrive. Listen to Jim Acosta from CNN. On the migrant caravan, this is what was forgotten. This is what got him kicked out. Listen. Thank you, Mr. President. I wanted to challenge you on one of the statements that you made in the tail end of the campaign in the mid-term. terms. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:07:31 Well, if you don't mind, Mr. President, that this caravan was an invasion. As you know, as I consider it to be an invasion. As you know, Ms. President, the caravan was not an invasion. It's a group of migrants moving up from Central America towards the border with the U.S. Thank you for telling. And why did you characterize it as such? Because I consider an invasion. You and I have a difference of opinion. But do you think that you demonized immigrants in this election to try to keep? I want them to come into the country, but they have to come in legally.
Starting point is 00:08:02 You know, they have to come in, Jim, through a process. I want it to be a process, and I want people to come in, and we need the people. Your campaign... Wait, you know why we need the people, does you? Because we have hundreds of companies moving in. We need the people. But your campaign had an ad showing migrants, climbing over walls and so on. Well, that's true.
Starting point is 00:08:20 They weren't actors. They're not going to be doing that. They weren't actors. Well, no, it's true. Do you think they were actors? They weren't actors. They didn't come from Hollywood. These were people, this was an actual, you know, it happened a few days ago.
Starting point is 00:08:34 And there are hundreds of miles away, though. There are hundreds and hundreds of miles away. That's not an invasion. Honestly. I think you should live. I think you should live. I just wanted to ask Jim Acosta, who is right here? Who is right here?
Starting point is 00:08:48 Because you, you asked the question and the president told you, well, we have a difference of opinion. And so you started to name. your facts. Well, they're hundreds of miles away. They're hundreds and hundreds of miles away. Well, they're here now. You also said they were not going to be climbing walls. Well, they're doing that. So which is it, CNN? Which is it? And if you don't think a thousand people trying to rush our border is an invasion, what do you call it? People coming here, standing in line, being cool, Yes, it's going to take a while, but I'm going to be cool because I can't go back home. That's not an invasion.
Starting point is 00:09:35 But people trying to rush the border, a thousand of them. And if you think this is the end of it, you're mistaken. This is the beginning. I just want you to understand that this is a Marxist utopia. if you think these, quote, migrants are really ever going to go away, I think you're mistaken. I have this sneaking suspicion that these people are going to be kept in limbo, that these people will be kept in Mexico. Instead of having Mexico saying, we're not going to have this separate community here. You guys have to go back.
Starting point is 00:10:21 they will keep them there and they will keep them there why because we will have a new Palestinian state we will have a new crisis on our hand and it will be about the U.S. border and the United States will finally receive the treatment that Israel has been receiving the entire time and if you don't believe me read the headlines of how the press covered this. We were gassing babies. No, we were stopping a thousand people
Starting point is 00:10:59 who we have no idea who they were from coming across the border. Now, I understand if you're a mom and you wanted to get your child here. I understand that. But what responsible mother stands in a crowd and chooses the 1,000
Starting point is 00:11:20 that are going to storm the gates. What responsible mother? There is none. There is none. You can say, I'm a responsible mother. I'm a responsible parent. I did make this trip, this, this migra. You might not understand it, but things are so bad for me.
Starting point is 00:11:39 But you cannot tell me that if that was the situation with you and you were with your children, that you would say, yeah, I'm going to not wait, I'm going to rush the border. You wouldn't do it. You would not do it. No responsible adult would do it. You cannot tell me also on the other side that if you were in Honduras and you were told America is just going to take you and they're going to take your kids and you're going to have a life in America, you cannot tell me if that's what you believed. and you knew America had a porous border and they didn't care, you can't tell me you wouldn't go,
Starting point is 00:12:25 especially if it was dangerous in your community because of drugs or whatever. There was no rule of law, you damn right. I'd get my kids out of Honduras and I'd walk, but I would not rush the border because I would think, well, that really going to hurt my chances. I mean, you want to talk about living in the border, the shadows, that's really going to hurt my chances of getting in legally.
Starting point is 00:12:52 I have a legitimate case. I just need to be heard. I'll stand in line here. You know that's what you would do and I would do and any decent person would do. You wouldn't rush the border like that, especially with a baby in your arms. So I am sorry, I am the guy who got my ass kicked by. a lot of people for showing compassion to the people on the border. So I am the same guy that says,
Starting point is 00:13:26 these are people and we need to have compassion. However, when you cause your own problems, when you're running with your baby to rush a border, to break a law, to hope that you're just going to have the border guard I don't know, shoot rubber bullets at someone else. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:13:53 There's a process. You violated it. I can't have sympathy. I can feel bad for you because you're so unbelievably misguided. But I'm sorry, the tears for your plight. No, they don't come. The tears for the plight of your young child because of what you are doing?
Starting point is 00:14:23 Yeah, I feel bad for the child, but the child is just with a bad parent, in my humble opinion. Sponsor this half hour is blinds.com.

Starting point is 00:16:24 We have Russia and the Ukraine. I have a really bad feeling that in 2019 is going to be. the year. Can we just now lock that in as our end of year conversation? I feel like every year we're now like, gosh, remember when how great 2017 felt? Yeah. We just every year, it seems like the next year is getting like crazier and worse. No, but I think this is not right. We have reality in several ways. There are so many things that are happening right now. Ukraine is under martial law today. And that's only because of an election. But Ukraine is under martial law.
Starting point is 00:17:05 The Russians seized Ukrainian ships, fired on them, killed, I think, five Ukrainian soldiers. So that's heating up. The prime minister or president of Poland said, the United States is the only guarantee that we have for any security. of not being invaded by the Russians. We need the Americans. You have riots in France. By the way, going back to the Poland thing for a second, once again,
Starting point is 00:17:39 showing something we've noticed and talked about many times on this show, and that a lot of people in the media go after Trump for his rhetoric about Russia, but his actions about Russia are pretty hawkish. I mean, when you were on, when you were gone last week, they announced another massive. bust up of a financial network supporting everything from Hezbollah to Hamas through Syria
Starting point is 00:18:03 involving Russia and Iran. And again, over and over again, we've seen this where he, where Trump might in press conferences and interviews say things about Putin that make you squirm a little bit, his actions, at least the administration's
Starting point is 00:18:19 actions on Russia have not been weak. They have been pretty freaking strong. And I feel like the media, uh, ignores that because they like the sort of narrative of with the investigation going on and when with, you know, they like the idea that, you know, he's friendly to this sort of dictator type of figure. But I mean, he is, Putin cannot be happy with Donald Trump. He cannot be happy with the way that this has happened. There's been a lot of sanctions. There's been a lot of pressure. This is yet another example of this. Poland is a, is a good example of it as well. We've seen a lot. lot of this going on and it doesn't get pointed out enough i think that uh russia is testing the west right now and seeing if nato is going to stand and how tough we're going to be um i russia is russia is on the move and you have riots in paris you have marches in spain you have brexit happening you have
Starting point is 00:19:24 Donald Trump with the FBI report that is coming out. You have new news coming out of China now that 11 million people have already been sanctioned. 11 million people. That's only, yeah, and that's only one batch of it. It was 11 million people have been blocked from taking flights already because of the social credit system. Another, I believe it's 4 million have been blocked from taking high speed rail. And another 3 million have been blocked from upgrading. their rail. So they wanted business class and were not able to purchase it because they did something the state deemed negative.
Starting point is 00:20:01 This is the new social credit system that China is helping Maduro build now in Venezuela to give total control over the citizens. Yeah. This is 1984. It's here. It's here. And it doesn't actually officially start until 2020. In Beijing, it'll be in 2020. And that's when it, that's, that's when it's lights out for China. New York Times has a big story on this today. Oh, do they now? Yeah, they do. And like, again, as I might, we might complain about it, but I mean, I'm glad that at least
Starting point is 00:20:35 they're looking at it in some way. I guess I just, I'm very frustrated when people like me are called a conspiracy theorist. And then the Caliphate podcast comes out. And then the Caliphate podcast comes out from. It's like the number one podcast in America. Yes. They're talking about the unspoken bargain citizens have with the Communist Party. the government promises a good life to anyone who works hard, even the children of peasants.
Starting point is 00:20:57 In exchange, they stay out of politics, look away when protesters climb onto rooftops, and accept the propaganda posters plaster across the city. Unbelievable. That's a scary world. Back in a minute. Can we just forget about the world for just a few weeks? Can we just have fun for a few weeks? Do we do that?
Starting point is 00:21:20 Yes. Cyber Monday, if you're thinking about Christmas gifts, I see this Pat Gray Unleashed. mug is available. Where is this? Glenbeck.com or The Blaze? Shop dot the Blaze.com. Shop dot the Blaze. Did you see the Jeffie one?
Starting point is 00:21:35 There's a great chew-in-the-fat with Jeff Fisher. Where's the Glenn Beck mug? I don't think they have one. I don't think they're going to sell. They didn't have one. No interest. No demand? Nobody wanted one.
Starting point is 00:21:46 You know what is? Selling, shockingly, a lot, is the One Piece Blaze swimsuit? Yeah, that's weird. That is. It's weird. I mean, I saw that. that on the side. They showed me all the stuff that they were
Starting point is 00:21:59 going to launch. It's weird that we did a swimsuit. I know. That doesn't seem like us, but I know. It was one piece, you know, so it is a still deserved. Modest. But I was like, I looked at that and went, who's going to buy a plate swimsuit? Like apparently a lot of people. Apparently a lot of
Starting point is 00:22:15 people. So all kinds of new product. There is the there is the Glenn Beck. And this one, I didn't approve. And surprisingly, I didn't see this until somebody sent me something after I had left the office. Have you seen the new Glen Beck mug? I have not. No. And the t-shirt and the pillow, which apparently is also selling.
Starting point is 00:22:34 I don't know. I don't know if I want to meet you if you buy the pillow. I'm not sure. Well, that's not nice. It is the, uh, it is, it is the bucket of chicken with my face. Oh, man. Oh, man. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. So that's the, that's the mug is the bucket of chicken with me as Colonel Sanders. Uh, and-huh. Do you associate you with fried food. Yes, I know. And the KFC, as a matter of fact. The pillow and the T-shirts and all of it is available now at the Blaze. There's a flashback t-shirt, too, of you and me, Glenn Pat Day's.
Starting point is 00:23:08 Yeah. That's available. Oh, I saw that. I think it's from whatever, maybe our first promotional photo shoots. It is. So, yeah, so you can get that. And Glenn looks like he's 11 years old. Yeah, he does.
Starting point is 00:23:19 Yeah, it's pre-Curnell Sanders days, I'll say. Definitely pre-Curl-Curds. It was a long-year ponytail day. Yeah, it was. Yeah. Mm-hmm. It was a long time ago. The flashback t-shirt also available.
Starting point is 00:23:31 Might have even been pre-ponytail, I think. No, I don't think. That's how far back it is. Is it? Yeah. Okay. I think so. Welcome, Pat.
Starting point is 00:23:39 How was your weekend? It was Rocky. It was Rocky? It was football Rocky. Oh. Yeah, it was not good. The Thanksgiving was great. Yeah, was it?
Starting point is 00:23:48 Thanksgiving was great. Yeah. That's what we'll focus on. We'll focus on the positives. Everybody was there and. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Not everybody, but many.
Starting point is 00:23:55 The BYU. issues. Oh, good gosh. Oh, my gosh. There's a BYU, Utah situation, Glenn, that you should know about as a friend of Pat that may have hurt the few days off there. Oh, good gosh. I crushed me. It just, we're up 20 to nothing at the half and 27-7 late in the third quarter and lost. So, yeah, that was painful. Time to fire the coaches. Whole staff. Whole staff. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Sucks. All right. So anyway, I'm glad to see that there's no. at the border, you know, that we're all conspiracy theorists, because these guys, this caravans thousands of miles from the board. That's what Jim Acosta said to the president.
Starting point is 00:24:36 Yeah, Tom, come on. And why are you demonizing them? You're showing pictures of them climbing fences. They're not going to climb fences. They're not going to climb fences. They're implying for asylum. They sound like this guy. Remember this guy from the past?
Starting point is 00:24:48 They are not near. Don't believe them. They are nowhere. This is silly. Remember begged that Bob? That's right. Jim Acosta now. Jim Acosta is stinking Baghdad Bob. They are not near the border. They're nowhere. This is silly. Who is that on the fences then? Who are those people? What are they? They are just good children.
Starting point is 00:25:12 Just good children. Okay. I have a baby. This is crazy. A, a boy was introduced into the eighth grade. and he was presented to the class as a 15-year-old boy born in Iran, had an amazing life story. You really have to hear about it. He's just claimed asylum in the UK, and he's 15, and his brother is 12. And they're here now because they are refugees. And as we know, England said, child refugees can remain. if they are full-time education. If they are there and in school age appropriate.
Starting point is 00:26:01 So this 12 and 15-year-old went in and they're in math. However, one of the kids said he looks 30 because he had a full beard. He's in the eighth grade. He has a full beard. Okay. And if you see the pictures of him. Or you say that's unusual for 12 to 15. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:25 And if you look at him, he's clearly 30. Okay. His 12-year-old brother is 25. All right. The kid was punished and the kid that was reprimanded at school for being racist because he stated the obvious, this guy's 30. Look at him. He's 30. Oh, my goodness.
Starting point is 00:26:48 The parents are beside themselves. schools not backing down and the government is is supporting and this got to be kidding no this is what's coming we are told to deny what we see wow this is i mean this is rogered kipling's uh poem where you know wishes are horses and and pigs have wings i mean we are told what to think what to say and to deny all reality it's it's the global warming thing have you have you seen what the global warming, what the new solution is. Yeah, the aerosol spray. Into the atmosphere?
Starting point is 00:27:27 We're going to dim the sun. Dim the sun. Dim the sun. Dim the sun. And I think that was a Simpsons plot. Was it not? It was Mr. Burns? Technically he blocked out the sun.
Starting point is 00:27:36 Right. But yes, so he didn't dim it. He completely blocked it out. But that was the plot, yes. All right. So if I'm not mistaken, all of the money and all of the things that we've done to stop global warming. What they're saying is now if we want to stop it, we have to do more of that stuff,
Starting point is 00:27:56 except in the opposite direction. Right, because they passed all these regulations on power plants to stop this exact stuff they would now want to spray into... Didn't they ban aerosols? Yeah, and now they want to spray aerosols into the atmosphere. To block the sun. To block the sun. And remember, this is so reminiscent of the thing they never want to talk about, which is they wanted to spread black soot on the poles to melt the ice back in the 70s because they were so
Starting point is 00:28:20 worried about global cooling. And by the way, that was in Time magazine. I don't remember which, yeah, it was Newsweek. Yeah, it was Newsweek. I don't remember which book it's in of mine, but it's in one of our books. It's incredible. It's arguing with idiots, I think. Yeah, or an inconvenient book, one of the two. It is crazy. It is crazy. And we're supposed to deny it. Oh, here's another thing we're supposed to not notice. Paris riots. Oh, I love this one. Oh, this is fantastic. Okay. So the, the, the press is only talking about this climate change report. They're not talking about the climate change report. All they're talking about is how the White House dumped it on Black Friday and they're not talking about it. So the press isn't
Starting point is 00:29:04 really talking about it either. They're just talking about how Donald Trump is not talking about it. Because they're obsessed with it. Right. Obsessed. Obsessed. So nobody's actually talking about what the report says. But at the same time, they're showing the right. riots in Paris, which I love. I mean, who doesn't love a great riot? It's a beautiful place to riot. If you're going to riot, it's one of the most spectacular places. Especially of those Chambalisei. That's a beautiful area. Yeah, it really is. Okay. I mean, it's a magical city to riot in. So why are they rioting? Well, the first thing is rising gas prices. Well, no, that's not right. It's actually because they're plummeting. The oil prices are plummeting around the world right now.
Starting point is 00:29:48 35% in seven weeks. That's pretty weird. And not a good thing. So first it was gas prices. Then if you read a little bit more, you'll see that it's taxes on the gas prices. Then if you read a little more, you will see that it's macrons taxes on gas to be able to curb global warming and to pour that money into alternative energies. Oh, geez. And nobody in the...
Starting point is 00:30:18 press is talking about it. Instead, they all covered Cortez coming out and saying, we need a new deal. We need a new green new deal. She wants to go 100% renewable energy to get rid of the global warming problem. Right. That's what's so entertaining here. It's like this is, France is just implementing a bit of what people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are suggesting. France. The entire countries and riots over it. Right. France. It looks like a war zone in Paris. Yeah. Looks like an actual war zone. The Democrats. If there are sensible Democrats over there, and they're looking at who they're going to run, we went through this list of candidates on Friday, the 40 candidates that they are now talking about
Starting point is 00:30:57 that may very well be running for the Democratic nomination. There's a few on there, I think they left off. And many of them are what I would just kind of classify as climate activists, people like Tom Steyer, who is, you know, billions. And he's almost for sure going to run. It does seem like he is going to run. Now, one of his five platforms, you missed this, Glenn. One of his five platforms was he's guaranteeing.
Starting point is 00:31:18 health. Now, that is a winning plan. If you can guarantee people's health, right? Not health care. He's guaranteeing health. And, you know, that's pretty good. I got to say, there hasn't been a candidate since Jesus. It was doing cancer. I was going to say, I don't think Jesus is, he didn't guarantee it. Guarantee that. He at least was like, I'm going to help you, but not you.
Starting point is 00:31:36 Yeah. So he didn't guarantee health. He at least healed some people. He healed. Sire's going to up that program quite a bit and guarantee your health. Which is interesting. But he's just a climate activist. These guys have been, there's a bunch of of them looking to run that are running as climate as issue number one. Look at how this plays out around the world.
Starting point is 00:31:55 Not only does it damage your economy in the long term, but you try to implement a policy like a massive gas tax to stop global warming. Your country goes into riots. This is not a... Ask the French. This is a gift to Donald Trump. The French. The French.
Starting point is 00:32:10 They should be totally and completely familiar and excited about it, right? So I have... They should love this. So I have a theory. And here's my theory. There are two Americas. They're the Americas, the Americans and those who live in the America that the press and the politicians create.
Starting point is 00:32:32 Where they're just yapping and yelling at each other and they're just speaking nonsense. And no, that's that's not a 30 year old boy. What are you talking about? No, they're not climbing the, the border walls. That's not happening. This is not a problem. there's that and then there's the rest who are just kind of sitting around going look at these people and they just haven't hit the point to where they're like okay guys knock this crap off
Starting point is 00:33:01 and i don't know what it's going to take for them to rise up i think that that was what the donald trump movement was is enough people standing up and saying knock this crap off but i don't think it's finished i don't think it's finished because they haven't knocked this crap off. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you go through those candidates. They are not upping.
Starting point is 00:33:22 They're doubling down on this. Which I think I said would happen. You're right. And this is going to be... And a lot of them are just saying socialism is a way to go. I mean, there are several candidates who are just avowed socialist. And so they're taking off the mask and just renting as such. Real quick.
Starting point is 00:33:40 Did you hear the interview I did with... What's his name? Is it Bob Spitz? Spitz. who wrote a new book called Reagan. It was a fascinating interview. I was listening to it on the way to the airport, and I had it playing on in the car,
Starting point is 00:33:56 and my kids were in the car. And they actually asked, we got out to get some food, you know, blah, blah, blah. We come back in the car, and they asked, can we listen to more of that? It's a fascinating interview with a guy who started out
Starting point is 00:34:12 not liking Ronald Reagan at all. Yeah, he didn't write it with the idea that was going to be a positive book, right? Well, no, he was trying to find the real Reagan. Yeah. And he had no appreciation for him at all. In fact, didn't like him. And, and, you know, you read, was he neutral kind of going into it or was he anti?
Starting point is 00:34:30 He personally was anti, but he was just looking for the truth because he was like, you know, half the country loves this guy. So who is he? And it's a fascinating look. If you read the book, it looks like it was written by a fan. The guy ends up really liking him and saying. And, you know, the stories that he's telling and the insight on Reagan is so great. It was a podcast on Saturday. Wherever you get your podcast, just look for the Glenn Beck podcast.
Starting point is 00:34:59 It's Saturday's episode on Reagan. And it is really great. And by the way, if you're there, you know somebody loves Reagan. The book is called Reagan by Bob Spitz. I keep thinking Mark Spitz. but it's Bob Spitz. It might have been cool if Mark Spitz. If Mark Spitz would have been cool.
Starting point is 00:35:22 Would have written that book? Yeah, that would be cool. That would be cool. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Pat Gray from Pat Gray Unleash. Thank you so much for joining us, sir. All right.
Starting point is 00:35:36 Secret Service has issued a warning that Crooks are using the United States Postal Service, informed delivery service. What is the, what is the, what is the, Delivery. Do you even know what that is? I don't know. I guess it lets you view scanned images of incoming mail for some reason. Okay.
Starting point is 00:36:03 Yeah. So they scan the address and stuff so you know when stuff is coming. So if someone takes it off your, you know, if there's a delivery you're expecting, you kind of can have an idea that it's on its way. Well, seven people have been arrested. they were stealing credit cards from mailboxes over, you know, after signing up as those, after looking on who's signing up on the website for the Postal Service, they're doing, there are so many ways for people to hack into our lives, especially right now. We are shopping online. I think Friday was bigger online than Cyber Monday last year.

Starting point is 00:38:50 Well, if this concept is true, then we might be in for some seriously dark days. In 1918, the world celebrated the end of World War I. That was the war to end all wars. But it didn't end. In fact, it caused another great war. Kinetic war with Germany merely paused, giving way to a devastating economic. war that effectively galvanized the Germans into something much, much more frightening. This year is the 80th anniversary of the Munich Agreement when the Western world appeased a monster,
Starting point is 00:39:27 giving Hitler a collective pass for annexing the Sudetenland. This was in Czechoslovakia. If you remember, how did he annex it? What did he say to the world? He said, well, there's a lot of Germans that live there. This is really German land anyway, and all these Germans that live, live there. They want to be a part of, of Germany. And it's just a small sliver of land. And so people said, let him have it. But appeasement only encouraged the storm to come. The Great War to end all
Starting point is 00:39:59 wars never ended in 1918. It raged from 1914 to 1945. But consider this. Did the true Cold War ever end? The West declared victory in 1991. But I can't help. but see the parallels between 1991 and 1918. Like Germany in 1918, Russia dealt with a very, very, we were dealt a very similar blow to Russia. NATO expanded, pushed into the Balkans against Moscow's wishes. The iron curtain came down. The Ukraine went away, Poland, Georgia, etc., etc. Kremlin went through severe economic disorder, molding it in to.
Starting point is 00:40:45 what we now see today. In 2014, Russia pulled off its own Sudetenland annexation with the seizures of Crimea and Ukraine. The West didn't do anything. We paused. And because we didn't do anything, Putin went in to seize eastern Ukraine. Now, remember, the Ukraine is where the famine happened. They killed 7 million people in a year. They don't like the Russians. They have a memory of what the Russians did. But the Russians said at the time, well, these are a lot of Russians in the Ukraine. Why were there a lot of Russians?
Starting point is 00:41:30 Because they couldn't get the Ukrainian people to calm down and they couldn't get them to comply. And so they sent thousands and thousands of Russians into the Ukraine. to try to make it more into a Soviet state. So those are Russians there. The world continued to pause, even when he went into eastern Ukraine, turned a blind eye. Today, 10,000 Ukrainians have died in this ignored, invisible war. 10,000, and no one talks about it. No one even wants to acknowledge that it's going on.
Starting point is 00:42:11 And given the silence of the world, Russia pushes on. Yesterday, Russia fired and seized three Ukrainian naval ships. Multiple Ukrainian sailors have been wounded, I think five are dead, and now they have blockaded the Azov Sea. Now, this is the financial hub for the Ukraine. The Ukrainian military is on high alert. All ships have been put to sea. Today, their parliament is voting to initiate martial law, which was called for by the Ukrainian president.
Starting point is 00:42:47 Now, the Ukrainian president is currently going through an election. Elections are never at time to mess around with countries because people do what they have to do to win. We are dangerously close to a breakout of a much larger conflict. All it takes is one escalation. Cooler heads must prevail. But Ukraine's president might be looking for a statement because of the election campaign in which he is losing. What he does next is anyone's guess. The UN Security Council is called an emergency meeting today.
Starting point is 00:43:30 Both the EU and NATO have urged restraint. Meanwhile, the U.S. State Department and President Trump have been eerily silent. is history repeating itself? Are we appeasing Russia? Do we even have a choice when dealing with a nuclear power in their own backyard? The next 24 to 48 hours may tell us a lot. It's Monday, November 26th. This is the Glenbeck program.
Starting point is 00:44:05 Welcome to the program. Today I, uh, so I started writing a little. list of the books that I have read this year that I thought, you know, people might be interested in. It ended up being four pages. I was shocked at, I was shocked at the number. So you only read four pages all year? That's going to be a short, uh, I know, I know. Four pages of books?
Starting point is 00:44:30 Four pages are just of names of books. Hmm. Um, but I wanted to bring this up here because there is one that you really need to read. and it is um hop on pop the rise of the fourth political theory by Alexander Duggan
Starting point is 00:44:51 oh geez yeah that's uh because he his the theory is like there's capitalism there's socialism right there's fascism there's communism capitalism or yeah communism capitalism capitalism fascism and this is this is the fourth he says all three of those fail
Starting point is 00:45:08 we need a fourth and he has the fourth. And when you read it, you will understand what Russia is doing. And it is terrifying. It is literally end of days stuff. He is mixing this. And this is the guy who has designed the Ukrainian or Crimean policy for Putin. He is literally mixing in end of times theology.
Starting point is 00:45:33 So he is, and he's not a religious dude, but he knows Russians are. And so he's mixing in the end of days. We have to bring about a global bloodbath to bring about the end of days so we can restart in this new fourth political theory where Russia will rule the world. It's terrifying. It's terrifying. May I just a quick point against Alexander Dugan here about capitalism failing. Yeah. So an American high school student who works 50.
Starting point is 00:46:09 15 hours a week and makes a minimum wage is among the top 20% of wage earners in the world. Jeez. And capitalism's failed? You're telling me it's failed after that? A high school student, again, 15 hours a week, minimum wage, top 20% of wage earners in the world. I mean, you know, again, we are so blessed to live here of all the problems that we have. We're just throwing it away. And it's not just throwing it away.
Starting point is 00:46:43 It's a lot of people who are intentionally trying to destroy it like Alexander Dugan. By the way, speaking of capitalism, I saw this story today, and I thought of used to. 40 million people with diabetes will be left without insulin by 2030. They're saying that by 2030, there will be 79 million adults with type 2 diabetes that are expected to need insulin to manage their condition if current levels of access remain. only half of them will be able to get an adequate supply. They're projecting that it's going to be a huge growth of type 2 diabetes in Africa and Asia, blah, blah, blah. Well, type 2 diabetes, isn't that because of food? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:27 That's partly caused by overeating. One of those things that sounds really bad. But first of all, I have a lot of faith that a free market will provide the insulin needed. This is why I said that. We're talking about 10 years from now, 11 years from now, if we know there are going to be 40 million people, you don't think capitalism is going to say, we need to up the insulin. Right. Unless they cure it in another way completely and you don't need insulin anymore. I love this to manage your conditions.
Starting point is 00:47:56 If current levels of access remain, well, it's not going to because of the capitalist system. Right. It will actually decline if you lose the capitalist system. Yeah. I mean, that's one of those things they have, there was a study that came out, and it was all over the media the last week or so, that was talking about how scary it was
Starting point is 00:48:17 that, you know, cancer now is rising to levels. It's now one of the highest killers. You know, cancer now, the biggest killer in Australia ahead of heart disease. This is a World Health Organization report. Now, we went, we go over this. By the way, the tour is happening this week. We're going to Tampa and Orlando,
Starting point is 00:48:37 if you want to come join us, glenbeck.com slash tour. Love to see you. Get your tickets now. By the way, we're in Tampa on Friday and then Orlando on Saturday. And I've got a pair of tickets for each of those shows. If you're in Tampa or you want to come to the Tampa or Orlando, call now 888-727-B-E-C-K. You can win a free pair of tickets so you can come to the show. But make sure you grab your tickets online at glenbeck.com slash tour.
Starting point is 00:49:04 It's a lot of fun happening this Friday and Saturday, Tampa, and Orlando. Yeah, part of the show, we focus on some of the good things that are happening in the world that we never hear about. And the cancer rates, you know, we've got over that. You know, there's so much improvement in that world. It's mind-boggling. And when they dig into this report, what's actually happening?
Starting point is 00:49:22 Because they're saying it's the biggest killer now in Australia that sounds terrible. Well, that's because people are living so much longer. They're living essentially long enough to get cancer, right? They're now getting to the point where you don't get cancer, you know, these types of cancer you don't typically get at 50 years old and people were dying at 60 so they weren't getting cancer. They were dying of something else. Now they're living to 80 and 90 and they're developing cancer very late in life and we're acting like it's this tragedy. Well, they just lived an extra 30 years.
Starting point is 00:49:50 This is not a negative. This is a positive. And the same thing with the diabetes stuff and obesity. They came out and said that obesity is now a bigger problem than hunger. We act as if obesity is a problem. If we could get to a point where we all choose to die. That's a great world, right? Where we all have to make bad decisions to die.
Starting point is 00:50:11 We don't just die because of things we can't control. If we can get to a point where we all have to choose to be fat, lazy pieces of crap, and that's what eventually causes our death. Now, I hope we don't choose that, of course. But we will. But that's a better outcome than like, you know, the plague. Yes. Right?
Starting point is 00:50:30 Like this is a good. Or starvation. Or starvation, which is the most, one of the most brutal ways to die. Most brutal way to die. So this, you know, there's some really good things that are happening in the world. We just choose not to notice them. We just choose not to notice them. You know, I've got a couple of books.
Starting point is 00:50:50 I'm going to take a quick break. And then I'm going to come back. And I'll give you some of the highlights of this list. I'll post later today of the books that I have read that I would recommend. I've read a few others that I would not recommend. But I'll give you some of the books. that I've read that I really recommend in different categories. But one of them is, what is it, Enlightenment Now?
Starting point is 00:51:14 What is the name of that one by Stephen Pinker, Stu? Yes, I believe that is it. Hang on, it's, yeah, Enlightenment Now by Stephen Pinker. That's an amazing book. Incredible. And it is all about, guys, it's not what you think. It's not what you think. there's another book called
Starting point is 00:51:38 It's Better Than It Looks by Greg Easterbrook. Have you read that one? Parts of it, yeah. He's really smart. He's really great. And you look at it and say, wait a minute, it looks really bad. His point is, yes, it does look really bad, but that's because nobody's showing you the rest of the story.
Starting point is 00:51:59 And when you start to see how much progress we have made, and you stop concentrating only on our problems. All of a sudden you start to say, wait a minute, wait a minute, let's not throw this away. This is actually really good. This is really good things going on. We're being taught in school. Think of this. Your children are being taught.
Starting point is 00:52:21 America is bad. It's a racist, horrible place. It's nothing but a killing machine. And capitalism is starving people to death and taking their money. None of those things are true. None of those things are true. Now, you could make the case that those things are true if you leave out the other side of the story. You can equip your kids with some really good stuff about capitalism.
Starting point is 00:52:54 But I would suggest that you start with it's better than it looks by Greg Easterbrook. Back in a second. The response to this half hour is Casper. The weather getting colder, the struggle to get out of bed is, oh, man. It was 60 degrees here, wasn't it, last week? Oh, it was really nice, yeah. Yeah, I was, we were in 20 degree weather up in the mountains. And as I was leaving, one of the guys said, oh, you're leaving.

Oh, okay, glad I'm gone down yesterday, or Sunday was beautiful, just beautiful. And then it got chilly really fast. And I don't know about you, but I have a hard time getting out of bed.

And you can get your tickets for Orlando and Tampa this week. So I started making this list of the books that I have read that I've enjoyed that I thought might make good, uh, presence for somebody, um, this year. Um, and I've, I've broken them up into into categories. I have history. I have novels, social science, uh, teenagers, uh, tech and future.
Starting point is 00:56:54 What do you, what do you? Jeffrey told me teen is a popular category. I don't know he was referring to exactly, but, well, you know, I'm, I'm trying to think of the, um, uh, the books that can, teach your kids something that they should know and that there's a few things that come to mind and I've reread a few of these. First of all, the Know Your Bill of Rights book by Sean Patrick is really good. I don't care how old you are.
Starting point is 00:57:22 It's really good. And you will know the Bill of Rights and you need to know the Bill of Rights. But I, you know, I would look at 1984 and Brave New World in Fahrenheit 451. I think kids would read those now. And it's, it's a very real. I mean, Brave New World, 1984, Fahrenheit 451, that's all really happening now.
Starting point is 00:57:49 I mean, 1984 is here. We're going to that China thing more this week. But that is an incredible story that it's not getting much attention at all. By the way, if you're into that, I read a book called the People's Republic of the Disappeared, which is really interesting. People just kind of like, disappear. And what happens to them? This has written their accounts
Starting point is 00:58:12 of what happened to them after they were disappeared. Now, as helpful as you're completely unreadable chicken scratch on yellow notebook paper is, would this be something we could post on the web? Yeah, we're going to post this online. So, you know, I'll give you some other
Starting point is 00:58:25 really good books for you to read in all different categories. If you're looking for a Christmas present, we'll have that for you online. Glennbeck.com. So at Cyber Monday, there's several things that you can do. You can go online today. You can buy tickets to the Tampa and Orlando show, which happened Friday and Saturday at
Starting point is 00:58:47 Glenbeck.com. Also, shop. Dot the blaze.com is a great place to do some of your cyber shopping for fans of the show. I'm much to my chagrin, the new Glenn Beck T-shirt and coffee mug and for some strange reason, pillow is out. It's, uh, also you can get it for your iPhone case. The, the, the, the picture is, uh, resembles a bucket of chicken with my face on it. And, uh, you know, I mean, some will find that funny.
Starting point is 00:59:24 Uh, others, namely me will not, um, but, uh, never, never a concern. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Lots of great stuff up at shop dot the blaze.com. Uh, I'm going to post these later today. today. These are some of the books that I have read in the last year that I highly recommend. I'm in the middle of Kate Morton's The Clockmaker's Daughter. This is kind of a search through history.
Starting point is 00:59:51 This woman in present day, England, she is working at a conservatory and she opens up, I think it's a satchel, some sort of a satchel, and she has to catalog everything. and she's captivated by a picture that is in there. She remembers that in a story that her mother used to tell, but she thought that this was a story that was just her mother's story. So how did this picture of this old house get in there? It's exactly what she saw. So she starts this investigation, and it goes back about 100 years,
Starting point is 01:00:26 and you see what is happening. And I don't know how it ends yet, but it's really, it's a lot of fun, especially if you're like, you know, history, hunts. It's just a really good story. There is a book called White Rose Black Forest, which I read, I think, in the spring and loved this book. This one is about an allied soldier, World War II, and he has to fly in and parachute into the black forest all by himself. And he's going in as a German soldier. And he has to kill him. And he has to kill him.
Starting point is 01:01:05 one guy on a certain date. He's going to be in a certain place. He's got to kill him. Well, he goes in and something happens to a shoot. I can't remember exactly, but he lands in the forest. And I think he breaks either one or I think maybe both of his legs. And he passes out. And he's out in the snow at night in the black forest.
Starting point is 01:01:27 Well, this woman, this German woman who lives in a cabin there in the forest, she happens to, you know, be walking in the forest. you know, you know, but he doesn't know that she was going actually to kill herself that night. She sees him unconscious. She takes care of him and then drags him back to the cabin where she nurses him back to health. Well, he's trapped and he can't move because of his legs. What she can't tell him is that she's anti-Nazi and her biggest foe is. the head of the SS in her small little town and they've just destroyed her family and she hates
Starting point is 01:02:10 the Nazis and that's why she was going to kill herself. But she can't say this because he's a German soldier. But she starts to realize I don't think he's a German soldier. He can't tell her I'm not a German soldier. So it's this game back and forth the whole time, this mental game and how it ends is just it's fantastic. That is called the White Rose Black Forest. Robert Harris wrote a book, if you're into tech and see what's coming, he wrote a book called The Fear Index. It's a novel.
Starting point is 01:02:47 It's great. It starts with a murder in Geneva. This guy was working for CERN and he had this theory that he could make an AI that could predict, you know, habits. And he used as an example, it could predict the stock market and it could actually make money. So this guy from Wall Street comes in and says, hey, I want to hire you for this. I want to, I want you to build this for me. And so he does. Well, it turns out that he actually creates AI and then it starts to move into a GI. And its goal is to make money. Well, fear, don't fear the machine, fear the goals.
Starting point is 01:03:33 Its goal is to make money. It now is taking on a life of its own, and it is piling money in. But like plane crashes are happening just after the stock is dumped. And it's no one's in charge of it. They can't seem to shut it down. They don't know if they want to shut it down. As the guy starts to figure things out, now he's smeared in the press. He's set up.
Starting point is 01:04:00 Is this a person? Is this AI? It's a fantastic story. There's a crazy audio from Elon Musk we should get to today on AI, where he's talking about, I mean, he's absolutely in this world. And you've talked about him as, you know, being very skeptical of how this is happening. He's seemingly making major moves to try to make sure that we do it. Oh, no, he is.
Starting point is 01:04:23 And do it ethically. Yeah. Yeah, no, he's, he started a huge foundation to, to do it. But he doesn't believe it'll be done, nor do I. You can't put this genie back in the bottle. And somebody somewhere is going to go, I wonder what would happen. You know, right. And that's the Robert Harris book. And also the new Dan Brown book that came out this year, Origin, that's along the same vein. And it's really, really good. If you know somebody that is into history, there's a few things that I, that I highly recommend. The new Reagan,
Starting point is 01:04:58 book by Bob Spitz. We just had him on as a podcast over the weekend. Listen to that podcast. It's fantastic. Even my kids enjoyed this podcast. Really great, really great podcast. Great book called Reagan by Bob Spitz. He went in and he was not a fan.
Starting point is 01:05:20 He's a guy he's done The Beatles. Think the Stones. I can't remember. He's got a long list of he writes the ultimate biography of people. And he. Springsteen, too. Didn't he do Springsteen? I'm not sure.
Starting point is 01:05:38 He worked with Springsteen. He writes these books, the people that change culture and are deeply loved by a group of people. The only person he said, he was with his wife. And he was like, who can I write about next? And she said, Reagan. And he said, absolutely not. He didn't like Reagan at all. But he decided that half the country loved him.
Starting point is 01:06:01 There has to be something. And so he went and he started to track him. And he met with people that have never been interviewed before in his hometown that knew him and his family. He went in and he had access to Reagan's personal papers. They're not even in the library. They're his personal papers. One other author has had access to these, but he left them. sealed and the things that he found in those papers just awesome and he understood and really began
Starting point is 01:06:37 he loves Reagan now still says I disagree with his policies but I love this guy it's a great great book another one called defying Hitler this was actually this this is a an unfinished book it just stops, uh, in the, about, you know, towards the end of it. Um, it is the best history book on Germany. I have ever seen the reason why it stopped is the guy escaped from Germany, came over here, became one of the leading authors, uh, and leading, uh, authorities on Hitler himself. He was writing it in Germany as a, as a missive to the west saying, look, you don't, understand our history, you don't understand what's happening, you don't understand what he's doing, and how this is affecting even my friends.
Starting point is 01:07:30 Pay attention. It is fascinating. It's called Defying Hitler. Another book that I read over the summer by Thomas Cahill is how the Irish saved civilization. I don't even know why I picked this up, but I picked this book up and I loved it. You will, because of the way I. Ireland was a lot of the books when Europe was burning were taken to Ireland and left in Ireland. So a lot of the knowledge of that should have been lost was preserved by the Irish.
Starting point is 01:08:11 But also the whole story of St. Patrick, I couldn't find any snakes. But do you know what he did drive out of Ireland? slavery. He was a slave who was captured, I think, in Great Britain, and the Irish were horrible slave owners. And they would just come and they would just capture people and they would take them and they'd sell them into slavery. Well, St. Patrick, he escapes one night just because he heard the voice of God and he just walked. he walks all the way across Ireland, gets to a ship, Providence kicks in.
Starting point is 01:08:58 He goes back to England. He never wants to have anything to do with, with the Irish again. And he's prompted, you've got to go back. And so he starts changing people's hearts one town at a time, one church at a time in Ireland. It's a great, great story.
Starting point is 01:09:19 A couple of, of other real quick. If you're interested in tech, the tech-wise family by Andy Crouch is a great book. This is for if you're thinking, what do I do? How do I protect my family? The tech-wise family. Far as AI, ASI-A-G-I, our final invention by James, I think it's Barrett, is really good. There are three of them here that are really, really good that are, I think, are must reads if you want to understand what's coming. Our final invention. Then Max Tegmark wrote Life 3.0.
Starting point is 01:10:01 And then Brett King wrote Augmented. All three of those are really good. And I think it's Life 3.0 that talks about the industries of the future that will survive. Then one more category. and I've got a lot more books, but I'll post them all online. This is just real quick highlights. In the social sciences, how to win friends and influence people. I started reading that.
Starting point is 01:10:30 I started reading that again. I read that when I was a kid. I started reading that again. That is the book on how to win. This is the book on how to bring America back together. This is the best thing I have read in a long time far as solutions, How to Win Friends and Influence People. Ben Sass book Them.
Starting point is 01:10:51 Really good. Yovall Harari. This is a frightening book, but you will understand how leadership around the world. This is a very respected guy, respected by global leaders. Everybody reads his book, who's anybody. This one has some truly frightening things in it, the way he just looks at the world. and you get an insight on what's coming. It's called 21 lessons for the 21st century.
Starting point is 01:11:20 You may not agree with the lessons that he wants to give, but you should know them because this is the direction of the world. 21 lessons for the 21st century. Then real quick, the coddling of the American mind by Greg Lukinoff and Crisis of Responsibility by David Banson. There's more on these lists, and we'll give you the complete list. at glenbeck.com. We'll have that posted later today at glenbeck.com.
Starting point is 01:11:57 Sponsored this half hour is American financing. Most people believe that to refinance a home loan, you first have to finance for 15 or 30 years, and that's not true. American financing is going to show you how. When refinancing to eliminate mortgage insurance, lower your rate, or consolidate high interest debt, you don't have to worry about resetting your loan. Because in American financing, they offer nine, 13, or 18 year loans. So it's really any term that you need. And it's a custom loan.

American Financing Corporation, NMLS-182334, www. nmLS Consumer Access.org. I think I need a dog whisperer. My dog, Uno, you know, we just lost Ella.
Starting point is 01:13:44 And Uno is, I think, seven. We've had him for about four years. And I don't think I've ever seen him happy until we went on vacation. We took him on vacation. We went up to the ranch. And I think this was the second time up on the ranch, but Ella was alive. And Ella ruled the roost. I mean, he didn't eat until she finished.
Starting point is 01:14:06 I mean, she was like, you know, he would actually walk around the couch to cross the room if Ella was laying in the living room. I mean, he just did not mess with her. And I think this is the first time I've seen him happy. And it's crazy. Terrified by your other dog, it sounds like. Well, maybe. I don't know. I mean, they, they, I mean, he seemed fine.
Starting point is 01:14:31 But, you know, the other, the, he was out in the yard and he was like rolling rocks and like, all by himself. He was like playing Frisbee by himself for a while. I've never seen him this happy before, ever. I mean, he was a different dog. He doesn't howl. He doesn't bark. He doesn't do anything unless, you know, he's supposed to. Up at the ranch, he was a crazy dog.
Starting point is 01:15:00 But wagging his tail, so happy. I feel really guilty now. I brought him back and he was like, okay, we're back here. Okay. I feel really guilty because I think I saw him happy for the first time. I need like a dog psychiatrist. What does freedom mean? Does it mean to be free?
Starting point is 01:15:29 I mean, they can take away everything. In the end, what is really yours? How should a free society act? What does freedom mean on a personal level? What determines or who determines who is free? Imagine the First Amendment vanishing overnight. And suddenly there were limits on what you can and cannot say. Would you be alarmed?
Starting point is 01:16:07 How much would you lose? If we didn't have freedom of speech, if we didn't have press to report on it, you could no longer say what you want, whether or not something was offensive to you or not, wouldn't be up to you. I mean, not unless you were a part of, you know, a small group of activists that had gained control and then they could impose their viewpoint. and they could say that you can't discriminate and you couldn't harass. Now, it's important to say, as we're in this thought experience, experiment, that nobody wants discrimination, nobody wants harassment. But activists are now having a good time coming up with the definition of what those words mean. By their standards, discrimination, and harassment have less to do with insulting or abusive language and more to do with the general public. proper use of a transgendered or LGBT, I think it's I, person's self-identified gender pronouns and expressions.
Starting point is 01:17:22 Now, this has happened. Canadian Bill C-16, the pro-transgender bill, which punishes misgendering. This is the one that Jordan Peterson came up against and said, I'm sorry. I'm this is a freedom of speech issue now you're into thought crimes because now you're forcing me to say things that I may not believe the bill is also passed in New York City allowing 31 legal gender identities and you best not make fun of it now it hasn't spread much further than New York in America not yet but the symptoms are popping up Twitter recently announced a ban on misgendering or dead naming. I didn't know what dead naming was for a while, but you apparently cannot say, I'm not supposed to say,
Starting point is 01:18:22 Caitlin Jenner used to be Bruce Jenner. I'm dead naming. Bruce is dead. This is Caitlin. So by saying, Caitlin, weren't you in the Olympics one year? Can't say that.
Starting point is 01:18:37 Because Bruce Jenner is dead. this is the new person period you can now be banned for misgendering or dead naming now Twitter is a private company they can do what they want and they are doing what they want but we can still be a little concerned about the decision here it's a little shocking that science is being discarded in the name of progress the new rule says quote we prohibit targeting individuals with repeated slurs, tropes, or other content intend to dehumanize, degrade, or reinforce negative, or harmful stereotypes about a protected category. That's the key here. A protected category.
Starting point is 01:19:27 Because I don't know about you, but all those things have been done to me online. You're a conservative. All of those things have been done to you. But you're not a protected category. See, when you get into free speech, the idea is all speech. Otherwise, you have to have somebody decide, well, now who's protected and who's not? Who deserves a little more free speech and a little less free speech? They say, we at Twitter recognize if people experience abuse on our platform, it jeopardizes their ability to express themselves. They choose. I know I've chosen to just not read stuff. I've chosen to kind of back off
Starting point is 01:20:18 of Facebook some. That's my choice. Nobody can make me do anything. They add, research has shown that some groups of people are disproportionately targeted with abuse online. Yeah, try being a conservative on Twitter. This includes women, people of color, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex,
Starting point is 01:20:39 asexual individuals, marginalized and historically unrepresented, underrepresented communities. You know, we're talking about all these things that are happening in the past and so to fix that. We're abusing new groups today. So the groups that you're now abusing, someday you're going to have to have a policy and say, that's a protected class now because they've been underrepresented and they've been abused. And it's got to stop.
Starting point is 01:21:11 How about we just stop? with that stuff. How about we apply this equally? For those who identify with multiple unrepresented groups, abuse may be more common. Intersectionality. How many times are you intersected by the man's oppression? It's unclear what data or evidence Twitter used to determine this information, but we can say for sure that the transgender population comprises about 0.6% of the U.S. population. So why is transgender rights constantly a topic in a world that is on fire? What happens when the underrepresented are actually overrepresented?
Starting point is 01:22:02 Because that's what's happening here. It's so much so that it's infringing on everyone else's freedom. It's Monday, November 26th. This is the Glenbeck program. So there's some new patents that have just been issued to Google that is really, it's quite interesting. Patents tell us Google is developing smart home products that are capable of eavesdropping on us throughout our home in order to learn more about us and better target us with advertising. It goes much further than the current Google Home speaker that is promoted to answer our questions and provide useful information. and the Google-owned nest thermostat that measures environmental conditions in our home.
Starting point is 01:23:01 It now comes with a microphone. Oh, good. You don't have to walk over there and turn the little dial thing. That's exactly right. What the- On your phone, which you could also do. Now, what the patents describe are sensors and cameras mounted in every room to follow us and analyze what we're doing throughout our home.
Starting point is 01:23:19 They describe in these patents how the cameras, can even recognize the images on a person's t-shirt. And if it's a movie star or a singer, it will alert the person, hey, by the way, did you know that person isn't a new movie? Oh, by the way, you want tickets to their concert? It also connects to the person's browsing history. One patent reads, according to embodiments of this disclosure, a smart home environment may provide with smart devices.
Starting point is 01:23:52 environment policies that use smart devices to monitor activities within the smart device environment, then report on these activities and provide smart device control based on these activities. So they're monitoring us and reporting back on what we're doing. Sounds great. And it will be in your home soon. So that's exciting. We've had Charlie Warsell on before he's.
Starting point is 01:24:24 a reporter for BuzzFeed that talks about, you know, he's a technology reporter. Yeah. And he, he was talking about the new Facebook thing that they've just released, which is basically like a screen with a camera that you're kind of just like, it's kind of like an Alexa with a camera and a screen almost. Mm-hmm. And he called it an in-home panopticon, which if you know, if you ever been to Eastern State Penitentiary in Philly, you know this, but it's like, you know, it was an old style.
Starting point is 01:24:50 I didn't know that's where that was. That's, yeah, yeah, that's what that one is at least. Oh, wow. But they did, it's a fascinating place to go watch because it was an old style design of a prison. It was actually deemed cruel and unusual punishment. So they had to stop using it. But the idea was, everything you do all the time is always seen. So all of the cells were made like in a, like in a, what is this, the Apple, the new Apple building that's a circle.
Starting point is 01:25:19 Oh, yeah, yeah. So it's a giant circle. The prison is a giant circle. and all of the cells are facing the center of that circle. The guard stands in the center of that circle on every floor, and so they can watch everybody at all times. And so it was great for the prison. It was deemed cruel and unusual punishment because you had no privacy.
Starting point is 01:25:46 So for somebody to say, oh, Facebook's just released a panopticon. is cruel and unusual punishment. It was not meant as a compliment. Yeah. But it's true. We don't even... You know, his point in the story, which I thought was interesting,
Starting point is 01:26:02 was we... Like, Facebook gets a good amount of heat from the media and from consumers about being creepy, right? Like, they're just... Like, they're doing stuff that's creepy. It weirds us out. But we do nothing about it.
Starting point is 01:26:18 We don't actually care. We keep saying we care. We don't actually care. We don't actually care. So they, I mean, think about Facebook who's in the middle of not only all the stuff that they dealt with with the elections and all of that, but all the privacy stuff. All of the mistakes and all of that they've been dealing with for multiple years. And in the middle of that environment, they introduce for consumers a screen and camera for you to talk to in every room in your home all the time and expected to be well received and it seems to be. I mean, that is, we are.
Starting point is 01:26:53 Why is China, why is China spending so much money themselves building this system when we are building it for them? So in case you don't know, the social credit monitoring system in China, in all Beijing citizens in 2020 will have this. and it is it it it monitors 22 million citizens in 2020 it's going to be nationwide it it's supposed to turn on in 2020 but they have already started it with I think 22 million and it monitors everything and if you get great social credit if you're talking to the right people on line, if you're shopping at the right stores, if you're, you know, paying your bills on time, you know, if you're not jaywalking, all of that, all of that. You're not talking harshly to others. All of that goes into your social media score.
Starting point is 01:28:01 And when you have a social media score, if it's in the green zone, you're great. But if it's in the yellow zone, which already 11 million people, 11 million people, 11 million. And that's just flights. It's 11 million people who have been blocked from booking flights. Four million high speed train trips have been blocked. Over 3 million just upgrades. So you want to go and you want to be in business class?
Starting point is 01:28:25 No, you can't. Your social score isn't good enough. Again, they've just done this. This is a small scale. It's not going to be fully on, you know, unearthed until 2020 and 2021. And they're going to have everybody in the middle of the system. Listen to this quote. Listen to this quote.
Starting point is 01:28:39 When they want to blacklist you, they have the people they choose and say that are untrustworthy citizens will quote be unable to move even a single step, end quote, according to the government's plan. This is what they're admitting to. If you are on their blacklist, you can't move a single step. And by the way, there's no way to fight this if you're Chinese. You get it. You're on the list. It doesn't matter.
Starting point is 01:29:09 by the way, it's going to monitor if you're giving blood donations because that's what a good citizen does. You're living a healthy lifestyle. Are you eating and exercising? Are you volunteering? Do you do volunteer work? Because that's what a good citizen does. If you violate traffic laws, smoke or drink or speak poorly about the government, that's what a bad citizen does. Yeah. And what they're saying, you know, because how can you ever tell, right? Like when you're saying something that pisses off an authoritarian government, it's almost impossible. And what they think it's going to do is, yeah, a lot of people are going to get burned by this. But the larger scale of it is people will just be so uninvolved in politics because they're terrified that their daily lives will be destroyed, that they just won't pay attention at all and stay out of it no matter what. And what was the, I mean, you know, they talked about the United States being a government that can only work with a moral and engaged people, right?
Starting point is 01:30:04 It's the exact opposite. They want to create an entire population that is completely disengaged so that they can do whatever they want, whenever they want. Well, I think that works out fine here, too, because that's what's happening to us. We're so tired of this. We'd gladly give up a bit of our freedom for somebody just to take this in handle it so we don't have to worry about it anymore. That's what they're creating. Yeah. That's what they're creating.
Starting point is 01:30:28 And we have a thirst for it. Oh, yeah. Look at the, look at the, look at the Cyber Monday specials today. you'll see right at the top of the list. You can get an Amazon Echo for $24. $24. Yeah, the Echo Dot, yeah. Yeah, I mean...
Starting point is 01:30:42 By the way, that's pretty good price. I know. Don't put it in your house. You go, Amazon, yeah, roll the dice. Google, do not put it in your house. Don't get an Android. Don't put Google in your house. Do not put Google in your house.
Starting point is 01:30:58 Android is the most popular... Don't do it. I mean, I just don't know how you. live life without that anymore. I honestly don't know how you get around. I use Google. I use the Google search, which is enough. Not Chrome.
Starting point is 01:31:13 I don't use any other Google product that I know of. Google search. You're right. It is enough. Google search is enough. But it's not putting it in my home. Do not allow Google Nest to be put into your home. I don't have to change the temperature in my upstairs.
Starting point is 01:31:32 I know. It's so hard to do, isn't it? I mean, you're willing to sacrifice, you're willing to sacrifice reporting on how you have your temperature gauge set and a microphone in that thing. You're willing to just give away that right because I don't want to walk upstairs and turn that down. It's so far. I mean, you know, several steps to get there. All right. Here's one piece that you can put into your home.
Starting point is 01:31:57 It is simply safe. Simply save home security. We've been talking about Simply Semiased. for years and we've been talking about them because they are the best. This is groundbreaking technology or it was when it came out. They're still way ahead of everybody else. But this is, this is now settled.
Starting point is 01:32:18 Having a wired system in your house going, you know, with Brinks or whoever you might have, you're paying way too much money. I mean, hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of dollars every year, way too much. It was simply say if you own the system, it's $14.99 a month, $14.99 a month.
Starting point is 01:32:44 What is that going to save you just there? And you can cancel any time because there's no contract. So you want it this month, you know, for the holidays because you got a bunch of stuff in. And then in January, you don't care of people. You wish people would come in and steal some of the crap, you know, turn your system off. Turn your system off. It's no big deal. Right now, if you order now, you're going to get 25% off,

So you know when it's on and nobody is hijacking you. SimplySafebec.com. Get 25% off your security system and a free security camera. But hurry, it's only today. Only today at simplysafebeck.com.
Starting point is 01:33:31 Simplysafebeck.com. Len back. We have to have, we have to get Ticotwari on, uh, because Bitcoin is getting crushed, crushed right now. Yeah, all of it is. All of it is all the crypto stuff is. Yeah. He said crypto would be up 40,000 by the end of the year. He's got to be, got to be revising that at this he's not. I can't, I just, I just, uh, read something from him. And he said, I, I can't adjust it. I'm telling you all of, this is bogus. This is. This is. This is panic. Panic.
Starting point is 01:34:08 Panic and people in the big banking system crushing this because they're all about to open up all of their their Bitcoin offices and all of their investment, you know, lines. Yeah. Why would they be dumping money into new, right? Investment lines if they're going, if they think it's over. There's all these things like Bank of America is opening up a Bitcoin trading desk. It's taken them over. a year to do, maybe 18 months to do. Why would they be doing that while they're saying that it has no future?
Starting point is 01:34:44 That doesn't make any sense. Yeah, they got to bail on it six months ago. So he's saying this is panic and it is also the big institutions talking it down to get it to the lowest price. So when they open up their doors, they can invest and it'll shoot through the roof. That's what he thinks. I don't know, man, but it has taken a beating in the last week. You know, I think we really, as I said at the beginning of the hour, define what freedom is.
Starting point is 01:35:22 What is freedom? What does it mean? You know, right now we're freeing slaves all over the world, and what you're doing is amazing. Truly amazing. The Nazarene Fund this year had a goal of, 15,000 people to be rescued. And by December 10th, we believe we will have 15,680 that you have rescued. And it's truly remarkable.
Starting point is 01:36:01 And the things that we're doing on, we had a big gala here at the studios. And before I went on to, to. talk, the guys came in from the Middle East who are part of the teams that go in and rescue people. And they brought me an ISIS orange jumpsuit that was actually worn by a Christian that was destined to eventually be beheaded, but they were a slave. But as soon as ISIS collapsed, ISIS took off their black garb and they took their prisoners out of the orange jumpsuits and they just went home and they kept the slaves. And as I was holding that, you know, for that gala, I mean, it was, what did that person go through?
Starting point is 01:37:01 What is that person still going through? And what is this audience done to somehow stop that suffering? It's so many people's lives. It's really incredible. It really is. there is, I don't think there's ever been an audience like this before. Do you? It doesn't get any credit. No. You know, it's not seeking it, but it doesn't get any credit for what it does. It's, it's, it's raised and given tens of millions of dollars away. We're, we're on the front
Starting point is 01:37:32 lines, name another show that does this radio or television whose audience does this. It's you that does it. You're on the front lines of the fires and hurricanes and rescuing people. You're on the front lines of fighting ISIS to the point. Did you hear? I'm trying to remember if this was said at the gala. The State Department, the State Department was having a meeting with senior officials who I won't name,
Starting point is 01:38:06 because I don't want to get anybody in trouble, but they were having a meeting. and they were being read the Riot Act on why are we not doing things for the Christians? Why is this not happening? What's going on? And somebody in the room raised their hand and said, there is one organization that's doing more than most countries, including us, and that's the Nazarene Fund.
Starting point is 01:38:34 And the senior official said, tell me about it. They did a report, and they reconvening, convened, shame on you. If they can do this, how come you can't do this? I mean, it's really truly amazing what's happening. We had a great time at the gala. Yeah, it was a lot of fun. A lot of fun.
Starting point is 01:38:55 You had an interesting couple moments there. There was one, because you do this auction every year where you're kind of, you know, there's a bunch of really cool items that you can bid on for charity. And if you, you know, you win them, the money goes to charity, which is great and you get something cool out of it. And there was kind of a. bidding war going on at one point over this one thing, the Gettysburg Address. And it was kind of getting really high and it was intense in the room.
Starting point is 01:39:20 And, you know, you hear the back and forth of who's bidding on it and you, you know, you can't see anything. And at one point, I stood up to look over to see who was bidding on the left side, my left. And it was your wife. I could not believe it. I couldn't believe it either because it was not cheap. It was not cheap and I could not believe it. I kept saying to her and said, well, you didn't know who I was talking to it, but I was like, it's up to you.
Starting point is 01:39:47 I mean, it's crazy. Yeah, I was wondering why you were saying this to some random bidder. It wasn't. It was my wife. It was my wife. And you shared money that was being spent on this. We both look at it as charity. We gave that to charity because that was donated.
Starting point is 01:40:05 And actually that money is going to help preserve. the Lincoln artifacts up in Illinois. Yeah, what was it? So it was the only copy of... So there was the original Gettysburg address when he was walking off this little stand in Gettysburg, Abraham Lincoln, a reporter from, you know, New York said,
Starting point is 01:40:28 Mr. President, can I have the notes of your speech? I want to make sure I get the quotes right. And so he did. He handed him the handwritten copy of the Gettysburg address. the guy reported on it and then threw the notes away because he didn't think it was going to be that big of a deal. So the originally is gone. It's like a fifth beetle decision.
Starting point is 01:40:50 Right. So then Abraham Lincoln was asked by the guy who gave the speech before him that nobody remembers that was two hours long. He said, could I get a copy of the speech? and then at the same time they were trying to raise money for veterans. So Abraham Lincoln wrote out two copies of the Gettysburg Address. The one that is the famous one now is the one that has one nation under God. We don't know if it was in the original or not, but he put it in this copy. The other copy was sold back of the day for charity as well to raise money for the wounded veterans.
Starting point is 01:41:43 This copy went, I don't know how it got here, but it got to the Lincoln Museum. And it's only allowed to see the sunlight for three days out of the year. It's valued at, I think, $22 or $25 million. Okay. So we asked the Lincoln Museum, you know, is there anything you want to participate in with our fundraiser and all the proceeds? And so they call us back and they said, you know, nobody's ever made a copy of this. And we'll never make a copy of it again. But how about a very high resolution, you know, the right kind of paper and exactly the framing and everything else?
Starting point is 01:42:28 else the only copy made from the original ever. How about that for auction? And I said to Bill O'Reilly, and he was like, I'll bid 20 grand on that. And that was way in the rearview mirror. Yeah, Bill didn't show up. You took him down on that one. Really glad. I was really glad.
Starting point is 01:42:49 So you have it now? I don't have it. We didn't write the check. I haven't written the check yet. I mean, I'm not good for the money. Oh, okay. So it's an I owe you. Yeah, we got on the plane.
Starting point is 01:43:02 We left and then we were going on vacation. And my kids said they were, because they were watching it online. And they were like, you bought the Gettysburg address? And I said, no, no, no, not me. Your mother did that. I had nothing to do with that. Unfortunately, they didn't know where you are. So you're going to have to actually give them the money.

Central American caravan that is heading towards the U.S. border are planning on waiting for the additional 20,000 migrants arriving in Tijuana. And then their plan is to enter the United States en masse. in mass.
Starting point is 01:45:27 One protester said they plan to enter illegally and are unlikely to apply for asylum. One protester said or one migrant said, it's a waste of time. It's a process that takes months and years. It's a long time. Another one said, this is Frank Martinez.
Starting point is 01:45:47 I personally, and I know many people will attempt to do the same thing to cross illegally. I'll enter illegally. because we want a better life and I'm in a hurry. Oh, excuse us. The migrants have been offered asylum in Mexico, but they have no plans to take them up on that offer. It's not my intention to stay here in this country.
Starting point is 01:46:07 My intention is the United States. It's a great part of that story, too. Yeah. Like, oh, they need to get out of Honduras. It's so bad. So bad. They need asylum. Well, they've been offered asylum.
Starting point is 01:46:16 They're just not taking it. Right. They've been offered by Mexico. They want the United States of America. They don't, they're not looking for, they're not looking for asylum. they're looking for the United States of America. And they're here.
Starting point is 01:46:27 They're crossing the border. They're climbing fences. They're doing all the things. We were promised that they would never do. And the only thing that gets covered is, do you believe that they're still obsessed with this caravan? I told you. I told you. And I know you've felt it too.
Starting point is 01:46:43 Last spring, they are going to make our southern border into the Gaza and Israeli border. they are going to do it. We're going to see the same thing. I think they are creating Palestinian refugees. And that tactic has been effective for them, at least as far as global opinion goes. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I mean, it'll look horrible on the United States and Mexico will have everything to do with it.
Starting point is 01:47:10 Donald Trump, he just came out today and said, build the wall. Congress, build the wall. And he's talking about shutting down the government. This is the last chance for him to build the wall. If he doesn't get this wall passed through. this Congress. At least in this term. This term. Yeah. If he doesn't get it passed through this Congress, it will not pass this term. And he's saying, I will shut down the, I'll shut down the government and build the wall. You've got to finance the wall. Risk is pretty low for him here, too. Obviously, the election is passed, right? You know, a government shutdown might hurt him. But I mean, the way the news cycles work by now, 2020 is so far off. It's going to be a distant memory, any shutdown that we would have now. He's got a couple months to get this thing done before the end of January. And I think, I think people will not take kindly to 20,000 people trying to rush our border.
Starting point is 01:48:04 Yeah, I think so too. I mean, I just don't, people just will reject that. They will reject that. It's different. It's not the Dream Act. This is not a Dream Act to push. No. Dream Act, oh, a kid came over.
Starting point is 01:48:12 He was four years old. He's 18. Now he's never, he doesn't even know his own country. There's a lot of people you can win over with that argument. The polling is pretty good on that, on saying that those people are allowed. should be allowed to stay. You know, no fall of their own. Their parents dragged them over here.
Starting point is 01:48:27 They were kids. I mean, look, we know the reality of it is a lot more complicated than that, but that story connects with people. You know, they see that as something. The media is going to do exactly to the United States what they do to Israel. And they're already doing it. Look, we gassed these children. What responsible adult is running with your child to try to storm the American border
Starting point is 01:48:51 with armed guards on the other side. From a country that's already offered you asylum and protection. I believe also in safe shelter while they figure out the U.S. asylum claims. So, I mean, like, you can still go for the U.S., but we're going to keep you here. Mexico is trying to do,
Starting point is 01:49:10 trying to appease us in that way. And I think Mexico's smart enough to realize if this does turn into a situation where 20,000 people are running against our border, that while we'll get built, And it's probably the easiest path to get built. I will be no aid to Mexico. No aid to Mexico.
Starting point is 01:49:28 You couldn't stop this. You've got 20,000 more people on the street. Turn the caravan around. Turn the caravan around. You know, if this was happening with us and Canada, and Canada, you know, was our sugar daddy, I got news for you. I think we would be turning this caravan back to Mexico.
Starting point is 01:49:51 you make sure it stops. You stop that caravan. Is it interesting to you at all that here's a group of people coming from largely Honduras, but other places as well, marching with the Hardin-Hondoran flag to get asylum from
Starting point is 01:50:07 Honduras? You know, it's like, it's a weird thing that you feel like, you know, it's like people who wanted asylum from Nazi Germany who weren't like, hey, here's our big German flag. We're really excited about Germany right now. Like, you're leaving the country. You say it.
Starting point is 01:50:21 is such a hellhole. It doesn't seem like the time to run a commercial for it as you walk down the streets of Mexico. It's a very, I mean, I guess if I were, you know, someone who was seeking asylum away from the United States, there'd still be a part of me who would yearn for the good things in the United States. Maybe not the current government, but still I might have national pride in some way still. So maybe that excuses it. But it's a weird thing to pitch.
Starting point is 01:50:45 Hey, you need to bail me out of this horrible country. And if you're not sure which country it is, here's the giant flag I'm carrying. And that is a weird stance. You know who's going to play, who's going to be lead point man on this? I think for the Democrats is going to be Beto. You think Beto? Yeah. Beto is, I mean, they're already talking about a 2020 run.
Starting point is 01:51:03 Oh, yeah. But he's already come out and said, this has to be handled with compassion. Yeah. United States has to do this right. Look, I'm all for compassion. I was the guy who went down to the border the last time. It's not the same situation. That's not what this situation is.
Starting point is 01:51:19 these people are coming with intent and with the cover of the press. The press said they'd never make it. Oh, they're hundreds and hundreds of miles away. They're not going to be climbing the walls. They're not going to be rushing the border. They're just simple migrants that want to. No. No.
Starting point is 01:51:40 No. It's not what they're doing. No. They're making their choice and they're saying, we're coming in whether you like it or not. That is an invasion force. No. Glenn, back. Mercury.
