America's 41st president, George H.W. Bush, died Friday evening. He was 94. Bush Sr. has been called one of the most successful one-term presidents in U.S. history. Now, that's a little of a backhand compliment, maybe, but it's probably true.

Cold War ended on his watch. Berlin Wall fell on his watch. Soviet Union dissolved. Bush navigated the choppy waters of the massive reshuffling of the world order, and he called for a new world order, which I always thought was a little spooky, but we're going to move on. He signed treaties with Gorbachev, mandating historic reductions in nuclear and chemical weapons. In 1990, he put together a 28-nation coalition that expelled Saddam Hussein's troops from Kuwait. the American-led ground war in Iraq lasted four days. And I never forget, hearing him say, the war is over, we're coming home.

Americans usually like their presidents, you know, a lot more once they left office, and this is especially true of both of the Bushes. Following eight years of the great communicator, Ronald Reagan Americans found George Bush kind of bland. He was accused of being, out of touch, having no domestic agenda as the economy slumped midway through his presidency. He didn't exactly send thrills up the legs of conservatives.

He was the guy who was pushing for ideological agendas that were not necessary. I mean, read my lips, no new taxes. And yet America came to miss the sense of calm and normalcy that he brought to the White House. George H.W. Bush's four years in office were the car. calm before the partisan storm, I guess. His presidency marked the end of an era. He was our last president that served in World War II. By the time the 92 election rolled around,

the shifting political winds seemed to catch Bush by surprise. The telling sign that he didn't appreciate the rising cool factor of his 92 challenger, Bill Clinton, came at one of the debates when Bush seemed bored and at one point even checked his watch, like, good Lord, how long is this going to go on? It was as if America was checking its watch and realized after 12 straight years of Republicans in the White House,

maybe it was time to give this young guy from Arkansas a chance. By today's standards, Bush was way overqualified to be president. He had been a congressman from Texas. He was ambassador to the UN, chairman of the RNC, U.S. envoy to China, director of the CIA, and vice president under Ronald Reagan. And despite his accomplishments, he declined to write the traditional presidential memoir because he thought it would be too unseemly to write about himself. I met George H.W. Bush a couple of times. I really liked him. He was a good and decent man, calm and sincere, genuine modesty.

It seems kind of like a throwback now, doesn't it? And it makes you wonder, with his passing, are we ever going to see a president like that again? He wasn't perfect. He wasn't a saint. But he was a gentleman. He loved his country, and he served it well. At the end of his first year as president, Bush wrote in his diary,

I'm certainly not seen as a visionary, but I hope I am seen as a steady and present. prudent and able man. Today perhaps is a good day to recognize how sometimes we just don't appreciate how good we have it until it's gone. It's Monday, December 3rd. This is the Glembach program. Well, welcome to the program. We're glad you're here.

Stu is joining us. He is gracing us with his presence for just a little while, because he's got to hop a plane and get to Philadelphia to take his son to another loose. in game with the Eagles. He's only been to one game and he's one for one. The Eagles have won the Super Bowl and all the games he's been to. And one-on-one, one-in-one will be good tonight, a good lesson to learn. We may hurt his percentages tonight, yes. Yeah, I'm supposed to be on vacation this week.

Yes. But there's been some stuff going on. There has been. I was reading the internet a little bit. It was very, very difficult for me to not say anything last week when I was standing in line meeting so many people at our stage show. And so many people came up and said, you know, you guys just have to get together. You guys should get together with CR TV.

So we took that at heart and we did that. I was in one of the meet and greet lines in Tampa. A woman taught, I swear she said exactly what wound up happening. You should just try to, I almost want to go back to her and say, yeah, we got your, took your advice and just decided to do it. Yeah, right. So while most were sleeping, and I've been telling you for a while, just give us some time. We have some exciting things happening. uh this year while most of us were sleeping our developers were up very late uh for the last really few

weeks uh they have been relaunching our website the blaze dot com uh and you can see if you look at it uh it's a pretty massive transformation uh it is it's just the beginning uh this was just the technical changes that we're making to things we've been working on this for months and months and months but something happened to us along the way. We wanted our website and our what's called OTT, our subscription site. So if you subscribe, I wanted it to be clean. I wanted it to, quite honestly, I wanted it to be a lot simpler because it's impossible to navigate. It's been riddled with bugs for a long time.

And so we have, we've spent a long time trying to find the right partners to be able to do this for us. get rid of all the bugs and can we just make it work like Amazon or Netflix so you can find a show and it's easy? The answer is yes and we launched that today but there's something

else. We have, we are so grateful and so blessed to finally be able to come together. CRTV has we have been partnering on a few things here recently,

and it just finally has made sense for everybody just to come together. And so we have officially merged CRTV and the Blaze. Theblaze.com is now Blaze Media and theblazTV.com. All your news will be found at theblaze.com still. But you now, if you've been a subscriber, your value of your subscription just went up on awful lot overnight. Yeah. So if you are a subscriber to either one, for the same price that you're paying now,

you get all the shows of both the Blaze and CRTV. Yes. So there are dozens and dozens of shows. Really great conservative commentators, you know, a lot of people that, you know, our audience, you know, loves and be familiar with. Mark Levine, Stephen Crowder, Eric Bowling, Michelle Malkin, Graham Allen, Phil. Robertson, Andrew Will Cow

is back. Yeah. Gavin McGuinness, Matt Kibby. Awesome. The roaming millennial. Danine Borelli. Kevin Freeman. Rick and Bubba. Kurt Schilling. Who else? Ben Ferguson. Did you say Ali Stucky? Steve

Dase? I mean, there's so many. There's so many. I mean, we could honestly sit here all day and listen. There's so many. So many great ones. So you have you have everything from CRTV and everything from the Blaze all now under blazTV.com and we are thrilled. Now this will change the lineup on television if you happen to watch us on television because

we have access to all these great shows that will be discussed after the first of the year. But what you need to know is if you're a subscriber already, you do have to go in, just like you normally do, put in your email and you're going to have to change your password. I'm sorry, we tried everything we could so you didn't have to change your password, but you do have to change your password and you'll be able to log on and get all of it. So just poke around. Get your two-week free trial and just poke around. By the way, if you haven't subscribed to us yet, please do.

You will notice that I have not done a big subscription drive in quite some time. And I have said because I'm not proud of it. And when I'm proud of it, when we have the new website done, we have everything. done and I'm proud of it, then I will ask people, hey, give us a shot. I want you to give us a shot. Poke around now. And if you go to blazTV.com, you can try it out. BlazTV.com slash Beck. If you try it out, make sure you use the promo code Beck Christmas, Beck Christmas, because we'll give you $20 off your annual subscription. And that's quite a discount. We want everybody to come on in, and notice what we're doing.

And this is becoming a, I mean, it is now, a real conservative destination. It's not just, you're not paying for just one guy or a couple of guys. You have now some of the biggest names in the industry all coming together. And we are not finished yet. We're thrilled. It's really cool. I think there's a huge value for anyone who's already subscribing or who's thinking about, maybe subscribing to one or the other.

now you get both for the same price as one. I mean, to me, it's a no-brainer on that, from that perspective. But in addition to that, you know, you said that, like, it is one of the most common questions we have had probably in the last decade of, like, you guys all are all doing your own things and that's great, and I understand that, but wouldn't it be great if you could all come together and we don't have to pay for nine different services? Here's something where everybody in the same place, everybody kind of has the same

basic values, right, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights. But I think what's interesting here is the real diversity of the right is on display here. You have people who we're going to, there's going to be a lot of disagreement, I think, between hosts, which is, I think, great and healthy. And it represents every, pretty much everything from,

you know, libertarian to Republican to super Trump fan to people who don't like Trump so much. That whole aspect on the right is represented here. And you need this many people to kind of get all those shoes. And I will tell you this, it's refreshing because if you go someplace else, they, especially in the mainstream media, you all have to walk in lockstep. Yeah. You walk in lock step and you do what the boss man says.

There is no boss man here. There is no boss man. You know, you do what you do. That's it. And so, you know, Mark Levine is not going to be talking to me about my show and I'm not going to be talking to him about his show. neither of us are going to be talking to Stephen Crowder. Everybody does their own thing. Do you believe in the Constitution in the United States?

Do you love America? Are you a pro-America? Do you want to see it destroyed? No. Do you want to change the Constitution? No. You're in. So we're not going to debut the Linda Sarsour show anytime soon.

It is unashamedly conservative constitutionalists. And that runs the, whole spectrum, but you gotta love America, you don't want to see it destroyed, and you believe in the Constitution. I know it's a really high bar. This should not be a hurdle. Anyone has a difficulty clearing, but no. They do in this world.

So join us now at theblazTV.com, and I want to thank you for subscribing to the Blaze for so long and being so supportive over the years. and, you know, one of the first things I said was we've got to all come together. We just have to come together. And I have been a subscriber, a paid subscriber of CRTV since Mark put it on the air because I believed in him and I believed in what he was trying to do. And they built a really incredible machine and an incredible lineup. And I am thrilled that we now can say, we've all come together.

and I invite more to come together. I invite you to check it out now at the blazTV.com. That's blazetv.com slash Beck. Remember, promo code Beck Christmas and $20 off today. All right, I want to tell you about American finance. If you're having financial problems, you may have been solicited by credit repair services to settle your death. for less. But I may I recommend that you look into something else first. Don't be fooled by the sales

tactics. Instead of, you know, signing off all of that debt, research the options like debt consolidation. When you consolidate your debt, you're moving it into a new loan that you do pay off. Now, this is a loan with more competitive interest rates, so you're not throwing all that money away you could save up to $1,000. I mean, it's crazy how much you can save. Now, this is going to affect your credit score in a positive way. Going to a debt service is going to affect it in a negative way. This one, you're paying it off, but you can afford it.

Save anywhere from $500 to $1,000 a month. Consolidate that loan and go to Americanfinancing.net. You can close in as fast as 10 days. Get started now by calling pound 250 on your. your phone, using the keyword American loan. That's pound 250 keyword American loan. Americanfinancing.net. American financing.compancing corporation, NMLS, 182334, www. nmLSS consumer access.org. Some very sad news. Dick's sporting goods is warning investors that its decision to remove certain assault-style weapons from its field and stream stores cost it dearly and may limit its future gains.

They've tanked more than 4.5 percent. They are not growing. They said the company noted that they had 25 percent Black Friday store discount and that's going to help boost sales, but it's not going to boost their margin at all. you know, 25% off everything in the store. It kind of usually is followed with everything must go. It's Dick Sporting Goods, amazing liquidation sale. But they decided to take action on gun control themselves and ban assault-style rifles. Now, they're estimating, I think, that has saved 500,000 lives

since they made that decision. A really important move that did that. that caused a lot, huge drop in the murder rate. And you know, it's funny is those 500,000 lives, they were all doing the 500,000 jobs that were saved or created by Barack Obama. Oh, wow. Yeah. That's so important.

Same people. Same people. Same people. That's unbelievable. If you're a shareholder of that company. That was the dumbest thing I've ever heard. And then they're doubling down on it? Yeah.

Yeah, they're decided to take all weapons out. They're going to just forget all hunting stuff. Dix doesn't want anything to do with it. I mean, they have, they are sending. a clear message they don't want anything to do with you. Right? If you're a Second Amendment supporter, they don't want anything to do with you. So I walked into, I walked into a Dix just recently. Wait.

But it's a sporting good store. Why would you? You know that's associated with exercise, right? So I walk into Dix, I walk into Dix because I want to buy my son a punching bag because I'm tired of, you know, the walls and everything else. So I buy him a, so I buy him a punching bag. So I buy him a punching bag. And we go in and I'm not even thinking.

I just walk in. And I just walk in and we're looking at punch bags. Get ready to complete the order. And I looked at the guy and I said, wait a minute. This is Dix, isn't it? And he said, yes. And I said, Dick's sporting goods. Yes.

The one that banned the assault rifles. Yes. Okay, forget it. We don't need it. And I walked out. And I didn't feel bad about the. time I wasted or anything. His time, my time, nothing.

I wish I would have remembered and wouldn't have gone in, but I'm glad to see other people are feeling the same way. I bet that reaction from him was I heard this 5,000 times. Wait a minute. This is Dix, isn't it? No. No, not that Dix. No, I don't know what you're talking about.

This is Richards. Richard's sporting goods. Oh, I feel bad for them. I like when companies make decisions for me, though. I like when companies step up and they say, you know what you need is X, Y, or Z. They can tell me how to run my life. I love when they do that. Well, I really appreciate when they go a step further than that and say, hey, we're going to take this legal product and we're not going to, we're going to break the Constitution and say, no, even though the Constitution says you can have it.

and the law says you can buy it at 18, well, you don't think you're responsible enough. Oh, thank you, Dick. Now, in some states, I don't even think they have the legal right to do that. But, I mean, I think, generally speaking, they have the right to carry whatever product they want. I mean, they can do that. I just don't, I don't, I just really, I don't understand it.

You know, you're taking half the country and you're telling them basically, they're a bunch of murderers. We can't trust you coming into our store. Well, any store that's calling me a murderer, I don't think I want to go to all that often. I know. Why would you be selling these murderous weapons in the first place?

Well, I mean, why were you selling? If you believe that they were just nothing but, you know, weapons of war that were for murderers, why would you sell them in the first place? Change in management, I don't know. I mean, it's, it was not a smart move. And gosh darn it, now they're going to double down and they're going to make sure that they don't sell any weapons and any hunting stuff at all. congratulations dick you're going to have a sweet sweet holiday welcome to the program i'm glad you're here i've been talking a lot about coming together uh as people and trying to come together

especially i've said start with the people you have the most in common with yet we still might disagree with each other come together on strong principles those principles or our Our unum, as I've been saying, is the Bill of Rights. If you believe in the Constitution in the Bill of Rights, you know, that to me signals you don't want to destroy America. You know, you believe in what we're trying to do. We can come together. And today I am thrilled to announce that really one of the earliest goals that I've had with what we've created was to, build something where like minds could come together.

And I built part of it, CRTV built part of it, and today the Blaze and CRTV come together because we have so much in common, much more in common than we have different. And I was singing this weekend. You know, it was at the mall. It was in Washington, D.C., the rally for the restoring honor event that we did in 2010.

Most people don't know this, but we launched the blaze, the blaze.com, the news site, I think either the day of or within a few days after the rally. And we did it because we didn't want anybody paying attention to it. So we wanted to see if we could even do it first. And we thought everybody's going to be talking about how much Glenn Beck, you know, is a racist and doesn't like Martin Luther King, that they're never going to notice that we also launched a major website.

And so we did. And it was about a year later that we did something that was crazy at the time. This is before Amazon Prime. This is before they were doing, you know, streaming television like they do now. I think Netflix was there. HBO was either there or just about to go.

Wait, I don't hear you for some reason. Yeah, there you are. Netflix was still getting more revenue from DVDs. That's crazy. When we started this thing. And we said, you know, really, you can watch TV online. And remember, if you were an early subscriber, buffering?

Oh, my gosh, I couldn't take buffering. I remember watching the shows and going, okay, well, I'll come back into the room in 10 minutes. And I'm sure the buffering will be done. So a lot has changed. A lot has changed. And our original goal was to create a platform that only, had to answer to its viewers and to its readers. Didn't have to, you know, have some corporate hierarchy.

That's why I have oftentimes had people working for me here at the Blaze that don't agree with me. I mean, everybody makes a big deal out of Tommy Lauren, but Tommy Lauren was that we didn't part ways because of her views on abortion. That's ridiculous. Amy Holmes was one of the first hires we had here, and she was openly, openly, pro-choice. I like diversity of thought. Do you agree with the founders? Do you agree with the Bill of Rights? Do you like America? That's what we were that's, can we just start there? It shouldn't be that hard.

But we wanted a place where it would become a home for diverse voices on the right. And we have had our good days and our bad days and you have been there all the way through them. And I want to thank you for having in us. I want to thank you for standing by this whole time. But we, you know, America needs a place now where smart, thoughtful, and creative people can gather, can laugh. We had such a great time out on the state show the last few weeks. Friday and Saturday, we were in Florida, and just had a blast, really laughed hard. And it was good. It feels good. And we talked. And we talked. about facts. We need a place.

You know what? We need to rediscover the power of curiosity. We need to rediscover what intellectual honesty means. And then fight on the battlefield of ideas, not in the streets. We're not Republicans and we're not Democrats and we're not independents. We're Americans. We're Americans. Does anybody know what that means anymore?

Wait, why are we fighting all the time when the best, when the big principles are out on the field and the big principles have changed the world. There's no one that can honestly make a case that because America came to the table and because of the free market system and our constitution that the world isn't a much, much better place. You can't make that argument. We're talking about throwing it away without even really looking at it, seeing what we would. Don't say, boy, you didn't know what you had until you missed it with this one.

You know, we're celebrating right now our diversity. I don't even, honestly, I don't even know what that means anymore because we're not really celebrating diversity. Without the practice and the understanding of the Bill of Rights, diversity becomes a weakening agent, a corrosive agent, not a strength. The idea of America, the question, the American, experiment was, can man rule himself? The answer is yes. But can man from different walks of life, different status, different background, different religions, even coming from different countries?

Can they come together and rule themselves? The answer is yes from many one, as long as there's a central principle that you are rallying around. And right now, I don't know what we're rallying around. Nobody's calling us to rally except around parties. What made America great was the rallying around the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Real diversity. Real diversity. And living with that diversity, not preaching it and jamming it down anybody's throat, just living with that diversity. Today, in case you don't know, in case you haven't heard yet, CRTV and the Blaze have merged and we are thrilled. We are truly, truly thrilled.

If you are a subscriber, you now get everything from CRTV. It's now coming under the Blaze TV banner. It's blazTV.com. And we're all coming together, each with our own unique point of view and our unique thing. I mean, this is now, I think, the biggest online conservative offering out there. and it's not a dime more. If you're paying $9.99 a month, you're getting all of these shows plus all of the Blaze.

If you were a subscriber of CRTV, it's now moving over to the Blaze TV, and for the same price, you get all of our shows as well. And it's a very diverse group. I mean, Mark is very, very clear on. I don't run CRTV. It was a weird question when somebody said,

I glad to see you and Mark are merging. And it's not us. We're part of this. And we're coming together. And a group of us are doing it. And we're really thrilled. But it's kind of like, you know, the old United Artist thing that, who was it, Fairbanks and Chaplin put together. When they didn't agree with the studio system, they all wanted to do their own thing.

But they needed distribution and they needed to stand together or they'd be picked off one by one. they created United Artists. That's kind of what this is. I don't answer for anybody over there. They don't answer for anybody over here, and we're one now, but I don't answer for what Stephen Crowder is Stephen Crowder. What Stephen does, I think, is great.

You don't like it. Talk to Stephen about it. Don't talk to me about it. We have a core belief, and we believe that without critical thinking, diverse thought, and bold and honest questioning, man cannot rule himself.

But we need to surround ourselves with people who are learning and teaching how to think, not what to think. We don't answer to bosses or boards or banks. We're just a collection of people who believe in America, who believe in the Constitution, who believe there's trouble on the horizon,

and each of us are trying to figure out the best way to fix it. and the great thing is, without a September 11th, a group of Americans have decided to come together and work for the common good. And we invite you to join our ranks. I want you to go to blaztv.com slash Beck. BlazTV.com slash Beck.

And it was weird, because I was like transported into a different era. To see something from any news source that was USA Today, anything national, anything that's not

conservative, to see something where it was a salute without Gile was awesome, just awesome. And there was this little cartoon, this editorial cartoon, and it showed, you know, it was up in the clouds, and it showed his World War II plane.

And he got out. and he says Robin, which was his three-year-old little girl, I don't know if you remember, his three-year-old little girl died of cancer, and he was always so tender-hearted. That's going to be him to cry just thinking about it. He was always so tender-hearted about his daughter, and the way they talked about her, and it was just, you just know that George and Barbara Bush just, it just ripped them apart forever. And so he's getting out of his plane, and he says, and a little bubble above his head says Robin,

and it shows Barbara and the little girl standing on the other side of the cloud, and they just say, we waited. Thank you. Thank you, USA Today for running that. Thank you for being kind, for the rest of the media as well. Thank you for just being a human being and just being kind. I realized how far we have drifted when I saw that cartoon and I just couldn't believe.

I looked at it for a second like, are there any double meanings here? There was nothing snarky. There was just kind. Boy, when kindness, when someone dies strikes you as an oddity, we really need to reevaluate what we're doing. doing? I don't know if you saw the exchange with him and James Baker, but

I think it was the morning that he died. He died late at night. And James Baker, who was a good friend of George H.W. Bush's. He came by the house, and Bush said, where are we going, bake? And

James Baker said, we're going to heaven. And H.W. said, that's exactly where want to go and later that night James Baker came back and the family was around him and uh this amazing tenor called and said I wonder I'm in town can I can I come back can I come by and and see the president and

and sing and he did last week Barack Obama came by to say hello and goodbye to him and the last thing he said was to his children and George W. Bush said, I want you to know, I love you. It is the simple things in life that make a difference. Thank you, George H.W. Bush.

We are so thrilled that you are joining us today. We are so thrilled that you are here. Beginning today, right now, the Blaze and CRTV have come together and we have joined our voices into what is called Blaze Media. So if you're a subscriber of CRTV, you now get everything else that we had. If you're a subscriber of the Blaze, you now get everything that CRTV has. And we're coming together under one banner called Blaze TV. And we are thrilled, really truly thrilled to be joined by some of the best voices. But I just, I want you to know

what Blaze Media is. Blaze Media is a collection of voices that answer to themselves. They're all independent thinkers. And it is a, what I hope to be, an ever-growing platform for the entire spectrum on the American right. Now, it's important that people understand what the American right is. The American right is based on the sanctity, the power, and the dignity. of the individual and a rejection of the socialist collective that is found in the American

left and the European right. That's who's coming together. And we're thrilled. And one of my old comrades when I was at Fox, Eric Bowling, is joining us now. How are you doing, Eric? Good morning, glad to you. I woke up to a little while. We've got some news, I see.

My phone was popping. I'm like, oh, wow, okay, gotcha. So you were... Congratulations, by the way. Thank you very much. And congratulations to you as well. When you were in town, I don't know, a few weeks ago, you sat down and you said, Klan, we just have to get together.

All of us just have to come together. And it took everything. I almost bit my tongue in half to not tell you, we're going to, Eric, we're going to. I know. That was funny. You know, I visited your studio, and it's just amazing to, you know, it's just amazing. the location and all that going on. And it just struck me is that if we could combine forces and, you know, who knows,

maybe other people will join us as well. Yeah. We'll be the go-to place for conservative talk on TV and all other media ways. Yeah, I agree. So, Eric, first of all, thank you for coming on today. And thanks for joining. We're going to talk to a lot of the hosts from what was CRTV, now Blaze TV, this week. and we're thrilled to have you on and your podcast.

We're cutting into a show that'll air, I think, on Thursday at 5 o'clock. But I wanted to talk to you a little bit about Donald Trump and the border and also his G20 summit. So can we start with the border? I read several stories today about how the people on the border are turning back. the Mexicans have, I think it's an 80% disapproval rating of these people who broke into their country and tried to get into ours. It's really turned sour. It's turned nasty down there. And they're starting to go back. It looks like it may be, maybe, maybe, it looks like it's beginning to be over, which I think is a gigantic win for America and a gigantic win for Donald Trump. You know, Gwen, I remember we're leading up to the election, and the caravan was making its way, and we all knew on the right that this was clearly going to be a test to find out how successful they were,

because if this caravan made it through, there would be, you know, Caravan 2, 3, and 4 right behind it, and then, you know, ultimately it would just be a freeway. So we knew it on the right, and the left media was saying, oh, but they're still a thousand miles away, or they're still, you know, 20 days away, it'll be past the election. and it had nothing to do with the election. They were being really ridiculous. I remember stelter going on and saying, anyone who talks about the caravan should put a map up and show us where they are.

And I said, the stelter on Twitter, I said, you are to your mind. It's not where they are. It's what they intend to do once they get here. And that was like a little bit of their deflection. Well, you know, thank God for Donald Trump doing what he did at the border, saying they're not coming across. They're not coming over. Now, there's a video circulated.

Boy, I can't remember the group that. it was that that literally is a Tijuana and walked up and down. Oh, it was either Ari Horowitz, who was. It was epic. It was epic times. That's who it was. Okay. All right.

And literally, Glenn, it was a three-minute video and you do not see a woman or a child in this video at all. Yet Reuters publishes the one picture of a tear gas canister flying past the woman holding two kids in diapers or a kid in diapers. And that was their symbol instead of what was really going on. This was a male, young male-dominated caravan that was looking for financial asylum, not political asylum. We talked about this ad nauseum, but here's the good news. The good news is as it dissipates the rest of Central America, this is a world basically says Donald Trump means business at the border.

So don't try and come through here. Don't try and come through our borders as a way to infiltrate the United States for a better economic condition. That is the message that I got. The interview that I saw today, they interviewed a lot of the people who came up in this question. quote unquote caravan. By the way, we should ask Brian Stelter and everyone else, yeah, they were so far away. How did they get to the border so quickly? Who paid for those buses? Something that we know, but they will never expose. Don't even say, because you're a racist if you say, I'm sorry, you're a anti-semi.

Yes, I know. Yes, I know. He'll remain unspoken. The guys in the shadows. So the message that I'm seeing in print today are the messages that say, basically, we were told this was going to be easy. We were told that America would accept us. We were told just come. And that was a lie. That message going back into even Mexico and Central and South America is really important because it will stop people who want to

exploit those who really do have troubles, even economic. It'll stop that. People will say, that's not even true. Don't listen to those guys. But it also sends a message that for the first time, I think maybe since Eisenhower, that we are serious about the border. I think you're right.

And we forget that there were a lot of Republican presidents that were offering forms of amnesty for people who made it here. Reagan. Absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely. And George Bush was never really rough on the border. No. You're right 100%.

But if this became, if the, you know, the litmus test became or the judge has to adjudicate on whether or not people would be offered a better economic lifestyle here in America, then there's 6.5 billion people that would be here. And that never could have been the reason. But the fact is, and again, we've all talked about this a hundred times, but, you know, they showed their hands in the caravan when they didn't stop in Mexico because they were. were no longer in fear of their lives when they left their home country and they were absolutely given an opportunity to at least make their case in Mexico. They didn't want that. They didn't stop there. They needed to get to our border and hear from, you know, the other end of a tear gas canister. So, uh, tear gas is not racist. We use that to control crowds right here in the United States

against anyone without, you know, without any sort of bias at all. So all these other lefties who say, well, they, they were instructed to use tear gas because. President Trump, so he must be a racist against Latin Americans or Latinos or Hispanics. That's insane. We use that in our cities to control crowds. Well, I will just say this. For anybody who might have said that, they should look at history because four years prior to the day, four years prior to the tear gas canister, there was another uprising at the border at the same location under Barack Obama.

tear gas was launched, also pepperballs and tasers. So I think Donald Trump was restrained. And the other stat that everyone should know is that under Barack Obama, tear gas was launched 1,600 times to stop people from coming over the borders. When it comes to Donald Trump, Eric, talking to Eric Bowling, a host of America, which has Eric right in it. I didn't know that. You can't screw America without Eric. That's right. So Eric Bowling, who is from CRTV, which is now part of Blaze TV. Eric, I call balls and strikes on Donald Trump. Some things I like, some things I don't like.

For instance, the border, really good. I got to give him credit on the Jim Acosta thing. When the Jim Acosta thing happened, you know, I think Donald Trump is a hot head and says a lot of things that is like, okay, that wasn't necessary. Might feel good, might be funny, not necessary, not helpful. but when it came to Jim Acosta, I watched that exchange, and I saw a restrained president. He was like, well, thank you for informing of, well, you and I have a disagreement on this. But after the dust all settled, there was no one in the media that played, except for the right media, that played the audio of Jim Acosta, everything he said to the president during that exchange was wrong, was proven wrong, once they got to the president.

border. How, how do you, so let me, let me dismantle it a little bit. Blaine your ball and strikes from the president are, that's what American journalism is about you. You absolutely should be doing what you're doing and have a right to be doing. I disagree with you. I'm a lot of them. I think his gruffness or his vulgar at times, you know, for, especially in the

president's office, it annoys a lot of people. And I think it's what got him elected. I don't think I agree with that. Oh, I agree with that. Conservative, conservative in the office. the White House unless it was someone different. I don't think Jeff Bush would have beat him. I don't think Ted Cruz would be her.

I don't think Ted Cruz would be. I don't think there's anyone on that stage on the Republican side that would be Hillary Clinton except for someone new like Donald Trump. So you've got to take some of the bed with the good. As far as the cost of the thing, this is important. I think no one's really touched on this. That was handled so well. And I will tell you why that happened.

Bill Schein was only about five or six months into the job when this kind of heated up with CNN and the cost. that was handled the way it was because of Bill Shine. There was a certain amount of presidential restraint in that whole intercourse. And look, it came out very well at the end. Acosta was, you know, sat down back into his high chair in the front row of the briefing room.

Sarah Sanders filled his questions. Civility returned to the briefing room because of Shine. Bill Shine is probably the best influence on President Trump I've ever seen. I think this guy is going to be, I personally think. Now, let's be honest, he's a friend of mine. I've known him for 15, Shine, 15 years as long as I've known Donald Trump. And I think Donald Trump will be well served.

The American people will be well served if Shine were to rise to the ranks of chief of staff at some point. But I think you saw that media interaction with Costa toned down or, you know, the bomb defuse because of Bill Shine's influence on him. So I think that's where that was headed. And yeah, but it wasn't that the costa was wrong in that instance. They're always wrong. They are just nitpicking the president to peace. It's just whatever he says, they'll go the other way. And no better evidence than if you go back over history and video,

you can see Bill Clinton saying we should be closing our borders down. You can hear Barack Obama saying we should close our borders down. You can even hear Nancy Pelosi saying we should take no more illegal. So, I mean, it's just, it wasn't the policy issue. It was Donald Trump and they needed to go the other way. Eric Bowling, a friend that we worked together at Fox News and he's left Fox, joined CRTV, and now CRTV has merged with The Blaze and it is blazTV.com. Eric, you know, you and I agree fundamentally on tariffs that they are bad.

Your cases, I understand it, has been he's doing these tariffs as a negotiation ploy. it looks like there was some good news coming from China. China said they're going to drop the tariff on our cars, which will help an awful lot, but they haven't reached an agreement yet. What are your thoughts on the tariff? The reason why I know is because I've spoken to Donald Trump about it. Like when the first, you know, the retaliatory tariffs,

when he first announced some retaliatory tariffs against the European Union, against Mexico, against Canada, threatened to blow up NAFTA, which he did. I spoke to him about it. I said, what's the plan here? And he literally said, I don't want higher tariffs. And for you and I, Glenn, as, you know, you're true libertarian, I'm a quasi-liberate, a conservatarian. I hate higher taxes, tariffs on anything, higher fees on anything, you know, get government out of the way. So I hated it. So when I spoke to him, I said, what's this all about? And he literally said, this is about getting them to reduce theirs. If they reduce theirs, we'll reduce ours. And, you know, we talked about it in the left,

say, oh, no, this is just a way of raising money. It wasn't. And as evidence by, look what had, first of all, he renegotiated an act for a better deal for the United States. Next was the EU, the European Union said, yeah, we're going to have to play ball with him, or they're in negotiation process of the tariff structure. And now China says, let's take a, I don't know, was it a 90-day moratorium, and we'll figure out from there. He's winning the trade war. You know why he's winning the trade war? Because we're still the strongest economy in the world. We're the biggest customer to the world, to China, to the European Union, to the rest of the world. When you're a customer, you have leverage.

We have never, as an American people as a president, used our leverage of being the biggest customer in the world to get a better deal. Finally, Donald Trump comes along and uses the leverage and will reduce both sides of the tariff, incoming and outgoing if they do. This is brilliant. And I'm glad he's holding all these countries feet to the fire. We will have a freer world trade system if this goes. I think it looks like all evidence is that they are going to work.

Eric, what times your show post every day? We posted 5 p.m. Eastern on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of every day. I have a question, though, for you, Glenn. Yeah. At the company picnic, the tug of war. Yes. It'll be me. I'll have Levin.

I'll have Crowder. Phil Robertson. You know, Ali Stuckey is amazing. She's so strong, too. And Michelle Malcolm, we'll just have her, you know, by barking orders at us, yelling, pull, po, blah. Who do you have there? Who do you have in your side?

It's like Glenn Beck. It's like the, you know, the knot at the end of the rope on the tugger. You're going to be holding that. We're just going to pull you right over the line. We only need one. We have Jeffrey, and he's an anchor. And that's all that needs to happen.

Believe me, Eric, I'm always the guy. When it comes to these things, I'm always the guy who's like, oh, crap. Okay. We'll take back. So I get it. Eric Bowling, thanks so much. God bless.

Welcome to the program. Glad you're here over the last few weeks. France has been in utter chaos. The streets of Paris look like a literal war zone this morning. I saw the arc to triumph through the haze this morning. And people throw throwing Molotov cocktails and it's it's crazy what is going on museums have been set on fire thousands of rioters have smashed businesses they've destroyed monuments they've assaulted the police a hundred and thirty nine people injured over the weekend including 23 police officers over 400 people were arrested just last night this is the worst rioting oh since the the communist riots of the 1960s when leftists took over Paris and shut down the economy. It was so bad in 1968 that President de Gaulle actually had to flee and leave to Germany. This is as bad as it was back then. And it's only getting worse. Now, if you are a long-time

listener of mine, you remember the little blue book that we made famous. And I was mocked for because all that has nothing to do with anything and nobody's even read that book. Yeah, maybe that's the problem. The little blue book was called the coming insurrection, and it was written in France by French intellectuals. And this is what they called for. Now, what can we learn from that? What was, what was it that they were saying? Why is this happening right now? And what does it all mean for global warming? And for the United States of America? Next. Welcome to the program. We want to welcome in Jason Butrill, who watches foreign affairs and military intelligence and just the landscape of the world, our head researcher, for the Glenn Beck program and a member of the Blaze TV fan, the Blaze TV family. Welcome, Jason. How are you? Thanks, sir. Doing well.

Let's talk a little bit of what's happening in France this weekend. So fascinating. When I first, you were just talking about all the riots and everything. that was going on. Yeah. And as I'm looking through this and looking into the background and what's causing all of this, I couldn't help but remember a conversation that you had, I think it was on the radio, it might have been on TV, but on the radio, about how you were talking about how this McCrone guy is basically just like an empty suit.

He's not the guy that, like, talking about, you know, that election was it like last April or whatever in France? And they, over 40% of the population voted for an extreme person on each side of the political spectrum. They were voting for communists, a Trotskyist communist, and a far-right Marine Le Pen. And for people that, if you don't know about Marine Le Pen, she has made a lot of strides towards, like, kind of correcting some of the things that her father did. I don't even want to use that. I don't even want to use the word correcting. Her father's an anti-Semite. Father's an anti-Semite, Holocaust denier, horrible guy. Marine Le Pen never had any issues with him whatsoever in the past.

the starlet that was at CPAC, Marion, the new face, never had an issue with her father before. All of a sudden now, they're kind of changing their regular, they're just polishing it up, and they're trying to make it seem like they're not fascist. I don't care how you try to polish it up. If you had no issues with being an anti-Semite and a Holocaust snar in the past, I'm not going to forgive that fact. You can't just say, oh, no, we don't believe that. We believe in other things.

Because all you're trying to do is you're just trying to jump up, drum up support and become more popular. We talk about, and I hate to do this again, maybe I'm not getting off track here. But, you know, we always kind of just say, you know, Hitler and the Nazis. If it wasn't been for Hitler, then everything would have been just fine. And I reject that. I don't think that's true. Communist. Yeah, either way, it would have been either way, the people, there has to be some accountability, right?

You can't just say, it makes it all nice and tidy and neat to say, oh, it was just because of Hitler. No, I see what you're saying. A lot of people jumped on board. A lot of people are like, yeah, like, well, was that one woman that said to you like some of us refused to jump off the cliff yeah but a lot of people didn't but this is but this is what's happening now and you know to bring you back to macron because i read the coming insurrection 10 years ago which is a little blue paperback book that was very popular in france and it was written by what a surprise the university elite

and they said uh that there is a coming run insurrection and here Here's why. Because the communists have all been told by their version of progressive over in France that we're going to get, we're going to, don't worry, we're going to get there, we're going to get there. And you've been lying to us since 1968. And we put up with it. But you're really not going to take us there. You're not. You're a lie. And so is the other side. And so when I saw Macron, which is, wouldn't you say it was almost like, well, what was the mayor of Kasich. It's almost like taken, you had, you know, a Mussolini and a Trotsky, and then you had, you know, John Kasich in the middle. You know, when most of the country is going for the other side, this guy's too milk toast. He's not going to do anything.

And what's crazy is this all started over the gas tax for global warming. Right. Which is a huge thing. for communists. I mean, global warming, that whole, all of these treaties and all of this money coming in, it's a way to take over the economy. The French are starting to figure out what I think,

and this is what scares me and both fascinates me with France, is that I almost see us as being about two years or so behind this movement. We are. And you're exactly right. McCrone wasn't going to do what, think about that. Around half the country wanted an extreme member of their, of their party, either a fascist or a communist.

Half the country. Now, how are you going to, you know, how are you going to appease that amount of people with basically an empty suit? He's an empty suit. He's one of these democratic socialists that, you know, is basically reciting the same robotic algorithm that you hear umpteen times, you know. You're seeing the beginning of this with Nancy Pelosi. You're seeing the rebellion of the national socialist, the real people who believe in it.

saying she's not real. I don't want that. So the Democrats are just at the beginning of this cycle that is happening over in France. Yeah. And so this happened, ironically, this happened about three weeks ago, the same day that our own climate report came out, the one that's still being talked about ad nauseum. The same day. So as this report's coming out, the French are starting to feel the effects of this. They got, at first it was like a diesel fuel tax.

They went out en masse to protest against that. But then it morphed, and this is where it morphed into more of what you were talking about. It morphed into all of a sudden that half the country, that 49% or whatever, far leftists and far rightus. They joined in. Now, they weren't even really protesting at the time over the climate change and the fuel tax. They were just coming out to call for McCrone's head. I mean, literally, saying that he has to resign. They said that McCrone had lost touch with the, you know, the average.

ordinary people. Of course, the comments were saying the working class. They were saying that they were just trying to fatten themselves off of this. And you really, you can't argue with that because that's what this whole climate change agenda is all about of fuel tax. Kind of interesting how, yeah, you're all about protecting the climate while you fill your coffers with millions and millions and probably billions off this, you know, on fuel tax. Well, that's just a carbon exchange. I mean, that's just trying to stop people. We've done this with tobacco. We've done done this to a tobacco and it'll stop tobacco. I mean, that that is the, that is the veneer that doesn't run very, very deep that they use as an excuse.

But it's interesting because it's not like the United States, 80% of the people in France believe that there's a problem with the climate. And they agree with, you know, the plan. But once it's implemented, they go crazy. Yeah. Once they're paying 60% of every leader, 60% of that is now going to a gas tax. It really is amazing. And it's, again, this is more of how this is fascinating. And even the climate thing is fascinating.

I mean, I think a lot of people would say, look, I don't really know what's going on with the climate. I think things are probably like, you know, maybe a little bit getting worse and possibly humanity might have an issue, a slight, you know, be behind a little bit of it. But nowhere near what they're saying it is. They're saying that basically we're all going to die in 20 years or something like that. It's insane. But how this is similar to just a leftist view of government in general versus a conservative or libertarians view is that the free market will fix this. It will fix this.

You don't have to come in right off the bat and force people out of their jobs. Tax the heck out of them. Destoring industry. Imagine one of the problems in New York City in 1900. was they were up literally up to their waist in horse poo and they didn't know what to do and they were they were talking at the time the city will not survive because the sewage here is so bad and the streets have so much horse manure in it that there's no way disease by 1930 disease will wipe out everybody living in and there'll be so much horse poop because so many people

are moving in what happened if they would have implemented something for the horse poop? horse poop in 1900. By 1920, all of that would have been wasted money. Because the car. Yeah. I mean, it always solves itself, especially when there is a great need. It will always solve itself. Tell me about the, because I find this history fascinating.

In 1968, there was a communist uprising, and it was right at the height here in the United States of, you know, of what was happening here. and it was close to destroying the Western way of life. The Beatles said they were not going to be involved. We had Altamont, which backed us off. And so the postmodernist professors in France got together and said, we need to control all of it. We need to poison and dismantle all of Western society before we try it again.

So the same people back then are responsible for what is happening, now, but in France, they went a step further and they made one error in 1968. Well, what they didn't, they just didn't go far enough. And the thing was is that they, a lot of people, it sounds like hyperbole when you say that the, the protests shut down the economy. It literally shut down the economy. Three quarters of their workforce was on strike. And the people that were advocating the strike and directing it were the socialists and

communists. they got together and they made in fact their union was actually what made it happen they couldn't agree before but they decided to agree on this and they were split between the democratic socialists kind of what you see today, Eurocasio-Cortez's those types of people they wanted to do it democratically they wanted to go in and win

elections they wanted to focus on culture they were being imported from Frankfurt school teachers really focusing on changing Western culture but the communists were like no workers of the world unite you know armed uprising this is it we're doing it Yep. And this is the premise of the coming insurrection.

It's the same fight. It's insane. But if they would have pressed, if the communists would have pressed, and if they would have gone through with the armed takeover, France would have been a vassal state of the Soviet Union. Because I did not. They would have turned communists. I did not know that, uh, that de Gaulle had to leave to Germany. Yeah.

Yeah. His, his hold on his own government and the military was not as strong as what the communists thought. They thought that, yes, we want armed takeover, but they're in the, the end, they were persuaded by the Democratic Socialists to hold out. But if they would have pushed through, then they would have made. De Gaulle wasn't even in country. He had lost control of his government. They had overtaken government buildings. I mean, this would have been, this would have been a done deal. They would have completely taken over if they would have moved that day. I think it was one weekend. If they would have moved with full on armed assault, they would have been a

communist country and probably still to this day. We probably would have gone to war over that. I mean, that's France. You put France there. You're just. just across the water from England. You've got all of, you've got Belgium and Germany and everything else squeezed between the Soviet Union, former Soviet Union in France. And that would have been to front. We absolutely, a NATO country? Yeah, we would have.

Absolutely would have. Yeah. And it's all happening. Again, if you see the pictures, go to the blaze.com and see the amazing pictures and video that they have right now of the riots in France. It is literally like looking at something from the Middle East. And it's generally white people that are doing it, right? It's all it is.

Journalists are walking around in like riot gear just so they don't get hurt. But this is in Paris. They destroyed part of the Arc to Triumph. You know, broke some of the statues on it and spray painted it and really, really did some real damage. And as I said, set fire at museums. France is there's a coming insurrection. What a surprise to all. of the media, except for those who have been listening to us and watching us for all of these many

years. I'll tie this together to the United States when we come back. First, let me tell you about Liberty Safe. Liberty Safe, the number one safe manufacturer in the nation, and they have sold more than two million safes for a reason. Liberty leads the industry in technology and innovation, and they have features like military-style locking bars and heat-expanding fire seal. And, That's really important to keep your things safe and free from fire, free from kids opening up and getting a gun. Their full-size safes come with a lifetime warranty. They make an unbeatable product. They are the best built safes in America, bar none.

It's Liberty Safe. Go there now. LibertySafe.com. Get 12-month interest-free financing on approved credit. Makes a great Christmas gift. Great home for the gun. I'm just saying you might want to drop that hint someplace. LibertySafe.com.

That's libertysafe.com. Boy, if there isn't a better case for what I said was coming on, you know, there will be an Arab spring, it will destabilize, it will lead to a caliphate that will spread to Europe. Think of the refugee crisis. That will spread to Europe. It will destabilize Europe. And it will repeat itself in Europe. That's exactly what's happening right now. And the last step was it will spread to America.

And tonight at 5 o'clock, I'm going to take you through a couple of things, but I want to spend some time on this, this very issue. And Jason, we may have you back next hour to really kind of go deep in this. But the issues are not just the gas prices. That's not what it is. That's an excuse. Right. Every revolution needs a firing pin, something that just lights it on fire.

So that was what started it. But this is hardcore communists and the radicals on the right also involved. Yeah, and the far right. And the far right. And it's starting to spread. Yeah, it's popped up in the Netherlands of all places. These are starting to pop up all over Europe, really, and it makes no sense. This is a protest against Macron.

Is it possible that this is the European spring that we've been talking about the Arab Spring, that it would destabilize Europe, and it would become the European Spring, and then it will happen over here. The issues are sovereignty. Sovereignty. Open borders, immigration, the economy. Any of this to sound familiar? Any of this sound familiar? And the fact that the media and the elites are not.

listening to the people. Not listening to them. Right. The main thing they're saying. Right. They're denying reality. People are saying, look, this immigration is killing us. And the elites and the TV and everything else are like, no, it's fine, open borders.

Look, the Muslim population is not healthy. They're not integrating. No, you're just a racist. Look, the European Union is telling us to do things that are making us un-French or on, you know, not British or not Swedish and they're saying we don't want that we're proud of our nation that doesn't make us a bigot and that's what the press and everybody at the top says oh you're just a racist or a bigot they're not listening and that's what's fueling this right and when when you think no one's listening to

you and an issue that you really really you consider like life and death if your if your kids have been raped by rape gangs or whatever and and in the UK or something like that. No one's listening to you. You'll go on, whoever goes out and shouts the loudest, even if they like say some things that you would stand, you know,

fiercely against, like anti-Semitism or something like that. Even if they say that, but they also will say, look, I will listen to you. This is something that we care about as well. All of the seeds are being planted here as well. We must be aware of them

and rip them up out of the ground. More next hour. Glenn, back. Mercury. Well, I think that we're beginning to see a win on the border for President Trump and for those who like border security and sanity. This is the latest story. Caravan migrants from Central America that are stuck in Tijuana, Mexico, are reportedly trashing the area, leaving behind bottles of urine and mountains of trash.

The pictures in this story are absolutely grotesque. The news comes as migrants are facing increasing backlash, and negative attitudes from local Mexican residents. Wow, they must hate Hispanics. As overwhelming majority of Mexican residents, 73% hold negative views towards the migrants. That's according to a poll from a Mexican newspaper, L. Universal. The Fox News journalist captured video from the areas

where the migrants have stayed in Tijuana, which show mountains of garbage and filth. They captured another video of the migrants, building a mountain of wet clothes and garbage. In another video, captured by someone else, shows migrants who were apparently sick, spitting and coughing things up everywhere and writing a symphony of spitting and coughing here at the Tijuana Border Caravan.

Officials say more than 60% have respiratory infections, three confirmed cases of tuberculosis, five of HIV AIDS and widespread. red lice. Some of the migrants have started to change their minds about wanting to enter the U.S., as an NBC reporter said last week. Some of the migrants are now wanting to return home after they were, quote, falsely told that crossing the border would be a relatively painless process, and most of them would be eligible for work programs designed to help them integrate into the American culture and society. Now over 270 individuals along the caravan route have

criminal histories, including gang membership, this according to the DHS. Those include a number of violent criminals. Examples include aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, armed robbery, sexual assault on children, sexual assault on females. If we indeed are able to turn these people back, this is good news, because it will send a very strong message that, America for the first time, perhaps since Eisenhower, is serious about border security. And you're just not coming in to our border if you're not invited. And how people have a problem with this amazes me, especially now that they have, they've lost the support of the Mexican people.

So you've lost all, wow, you're just a racist. You've lost all of that. It's really pretty simple. And Phil Robertson, who does a show called Into the Woods with Phil Robertson, from the Duck Dynasty fame is now a part of the Blaze TV. It was CR TV and it's being folded into the Blaze as we merge together

an announcement that came late late last night. But here's what he said on his show, Into the Woods. You all see that? No through traffic. You say, what do you call that? You call that a gate. It's a wall.

It's a barrier. We welcome visitors, but we ascertain whether they're going to be personally with us or not. If they're with us, I'll unlock it, and you can come in. I determine who comes, who goes. Kind of like immigration. Kind of like that. Phil Robertson joins us now from End of the Woods. Hello, Phil.

How are you? Phil, are you there, Phil? I'm here. How are you, sir? I'm doing well. Good to talk to you. You know, as I hear this clip, I think to myself, I can't believe that Americans actually are at a place where they need,

what really should be a first grade education on the importance of a wall and a gate? We have to know who's coming and going, just like I do on my own private land. your private land where your home is. It's a nation for crying out loud. We have to have borders, and everyone has to get in line, and we need to know who's coming and going, come and since for crying out loud.

So, but tell me how you really feel, Phil, seriously. Well, I'm beating around the bushes. I'm saying, yeah. You open up 1,000 miles of open territory between you and another country. You are asking for a lot of trouble. What's happened to America is that we've lost a religion, and because of that, we've lost their morality, and because of that, we've lost our virtue, and because of that, we're operating like children running around, tearing up stuff, waving signs. You know, it's a, we're reaping what we have sown over this no God thing for about the last 60 years is the revans of the hippies. So, so Phil, you know, it amazes me because we're talking to people who do not have a plan of replacement.

I mean, our founders spent years researching and saying, okay, what worked, what didn't work in other places. And then they found these truths that they found self-evident. which we're all preached from the pulpit originally. You're not hearing a plan to replace anything and what that actually looks like and how that works. It's just always a morph. And the same thing could be said. You just said we've lost our God.

We have been a civilization, the Western civilization, that was built around the images of two men, Moses and Jesus, the lawgiver and the lover. And those two, those two. men have always been held up as this is how we want to be fair and this is how we want to be charitable. And our icon was be more Christ-like. As those are erased, who's replacing? What are we replacing it with? We're replacing it with the work of the evil one. Our struggle is not against flesh and blood. This is Ephesian Six.

10 and following. It's not against flesh and blood. We are to put on the full arm our God so we can take our stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood. It's really not the human beings who are the problem, the ones running around hollering and this lawless mindset that's emerged from the evil one. We're wrestling against the rulers, the authorities, the powers of this dark world, and against the spiritual forces of evil and the heavenly wrath. You know, we have been told, really almost since the dawn of time, that there would come a time where good would be evil and evil would be good.

And I don't think it's ever been more clear. Has it been more clear in your lifetime, Phil, than it is right now? It is clear to Christ, when the apostle Paul wrote to the Romans, because this is verse 28, 1.20. When they decided not to retain the knowledge of God, he gives them over to a reprobate man. They become the worst, evil, grief, Phil, I don't know if you have, I don't know if you've moved, but your signal is breaking up horribly now. We can't really understand you.

are you can you move back to where you are you there what's your okay we're we'll try to get him back on the line get a get a clearer line from him I'd also I'd love to know if he ever met the bushes you know because he's Phil's a simple guy you know who has been now made famously wealthy and hasn't changed I like his practical brain down though because it really is you hit it perfectly it's this should be easy to understand no play this play the clip again play the clip again listen to way he's talking here let play the clip again you all see that no through traffic you say what do you call that

you call that a gate it's a wall it's a barrier we welcome visitors but we ascertain whether they're going to be personally with us or not If they're with us, I'll unlock it. Okay, stop. Now, couldn't this be done by, Hi, it's Elmo. See this? This is a gate.

And if I want you to come in, I open it. I mean, it's the same thing. I can't believe it's a society who we actually have adults who don't have puppets on their hands trying to explain this to other adults. It's not just immigration. I mean, the things we're arguing over. It's not just that. All of it.

It's all of it. Anyway, we're going to take a quick break. Phil Robertson is now a part of the Blaze TV. In case you haven't heard, Blaze TV has merged now with CRTV. We announced this late last night. And if you go there right now at theblazTV.com, we invite you to poke around and see the amount of shows that are now available to you. Phil is just one of the many.

You know, we have Stephen Crowder. Man, I've wanted to work with Stephen Crowder forever. We have Mark Levine now on the Blaze. Mark is the best constitutional scholar out there. And the teaching that he does every day on Levine TV, now a part of the Blaze or just BlazeTV.com. Michelle Malkin, Graham Allen, Andrew Wilkow is back on the Blaze TV.

the roaming millennial, Rick and Bubba. We have really great, great comedy arm now with Andrew Heaton and McGinnis. Because McGinnis is being mislabeled. McGinnis is a comedian, man. He's a comedian.

He's a satirist. He's a provocateur. But that's what he is. He's a comedian. And between him and Andrew Heaton and Stephen Crowder, the comedy chops of the Blaze TV. Just fantastic.

Well, they gave me a cell phone, which I've never owned in my, live. Now I've got a land. Maybe that would work. Yeah, let me ask you this, Phil, because we were just talking about how you're just full of common sense. Did the fame and fortune of Duck Dynasty, did it ever challenge the rock that you had built for your family or that your family stood on? Not one time did I ever for you. You see what I'm saying? Yes. One last thing. We lost George H.W. Bush this weekend. I don't know if you ever had any dealings with him, but I was struck in the remembrance of him this weekend,

how we have lost this simple kindness that I think he really embodied. Phil, thank you so much. You follow Phil at Duck Commander PR, Duck Commander PR. Also now on the blaze TV.com.

Glad you've joined us today. Really happy that you're here today. There's a lot going on. I think this caravan. story is that they're starting to break up, that the 73% of Mexicans have turned on them and say

that, you know, it's a disgrace on what's going on. I think that is really, really fascinating and a big win for the United States. Also, I happen to enjoy this a great deal. If I may give a piece from the New York Times, the Snow is falling lightly. My thoughts are racing darkly. I'm feeling something foreign, something I've never felt before. It takes me a moment to identify it. I'm feeling sorry for the Clintons.

This is actually in the New York Times. In the 27 years I've covered Bill and Hillary. I've experienced a range of emotions. They've dazzled me and they've disgusted me. But now they're mystifying me. I'm looking around in the Scotia, the Scotia Bank Arena, the home of the Toronto Maple Leafs, and it's depressing. It's two for the price of one in half of the arena.

The hockey rink is now half-curtained off, but even with that, organizers are scrambling at the last minute to cordon off even more sections behind the thick black curtains. They say, due to lack of sales. I paid $177 weeks in advance. I passed on the pricey meet-and-greet option. On the day of the event, some unsold tickets were slashed to $10. I get reassigned to another section as the Clinton's audience space shrinks, but even with all the hurting, I'm still looking at large swaths of empty seats.

I cringe at the thought what the Clintons will look out and see. It was only four years ago that Canadians were clamoring to buy tickets to see the woman who seemed headed for history. It's sad to contrast with the sold-out Bafo book tour of Michelle Obama, who's getting a lot more personal for premium prices. But introspection has never been within the Clinton's range. I can't fathom why the Clintons would make like aging rock stars and go on a tour of Canada and the U.S. at the moment when the Democrats are hoping to break the stranglehold of their cloistered leadership.

Uh, at what point, at what point will they get the point? This is not inspirational. It's not for charity. They're not raising awareness about a cause, like Al Gore with global warming. They're only raising awareness about the Clintons. It can't be money. Have they spent all the Goldman Gold yet? Do they want to swim in their cash like Scrooge McDuck? Again, this is the New York Times.

The Clinton's tin cup is worthy of the Smithsonian. They've hoovered more than $2 billion in contributions to their campaigns, Foundation and Philanthropies. After the White House, the money-grabbing raged on, with the Clintons making over 700 speeches in a 15-year period, blithely unconcerned with any appearance of avarice or shady special interests and foreign countries buying influence. They stockpiled a whopping $240 million.

$1. Geez. Even leading up to her 2016 presidential run, Hillary was packing in the speeches, talking to the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries in the American Camp Association and eBay. And there was that infamous trifecta of speeches for Goldman Sachs worth $675,000. They are, there is no one coming to hear them talk. Now, imagine if Bill wasn't there how few people would actually go to these things. And I can't imagine paying any money to see the Clintons. What do you want to hear from them that we haven't already heard forever and ever and ever? The left is turning on them. And I'm telling you, if you're on the right and you're laughing at people like Ocasio-Cortez,

even though it's very easy to laugh at a lot of things she says, or Bernie Sanders, the left likewise laughed at Donald Trump. They were like, he'll never be president. They'll never be in power. But the left is starting to turn on the establishment. They're going in a different direction. They're going on Nancy Pelosi. And she's held that one at bay.

I don't know how she's holding them in bay, but she's holding them at bay. But they are turning on the establishment. This is the war that the Democrats never thought that they would have to fight. They thought, oh, we're going to use these people on the extreme left and will gain power. and we'll get the votes and we'll be able to contain them. No, they have turned on you, and the Clintons are no longer there to protect you. For those who are listening to us in Alaska,

our hearts and our prayers and our thoughts are with you. I have not had a chance. I was out of town all weekend. I have not had a chance to check with Mercury 1 to see what they're doing to help you get back on your feet. I know you are. I mean, you're not living in Alaska if you're, you know, like, well, I don't know, where's the Starbucks?

I mean, I think you can take care of yourself, and I appreciate that. But we're here to, we have your back, Alaska. And we'll give you more information on if there's anything we can do, you let us know, and we'll give you information on how we're helping for the audience. If you would like to help in natural disasters, 100% of the proceeds, go to whatever the disaster is. So if we raise money for something or you want to donate to something specific, you can just earmark it that and 100% goes to that charity.

There was a story that came out this weekend. What happens if an earthquake hits Seattle? And there is a 722-page study that has just come out. And let me summarize it. You're screwed. They don't have, they believe that water, will be shut off immediately, and it will take weeks and weeks before running water comes back.

Does that affect the Starbucks? Probably. It probably does, but it probably also affects, oh, I don't know, Microsoft and Amazon, so laugh all you want, but we're all going to be affected if Seattle goes down. And, you know, the good thing is, I don't know about the city anymore,

but, you know, at least I can't say this anymore. I mean, I grew up in. in the Pacific Northwest, and they were a lot like Alaska. I mean, we had a lot in, I think where I grew up, I think we related more to the people and the living of Alaska than we did to California. Just there, at least they were. They're pretty, you know, stout and hearty people up there that were like, yeah, get your ass in gear and fix it.

So I don't think it's like that everywhere in the Seattle area anymore. but has it always been so politically like no hard like there's some of those cities like war zones now Portland all yeah no it's it was not like that um growing up i mean it was you know when when i grew up there it was people in flannel shirts you know everybody wore you know philson or you know that's the seattle version of l l bine which is much better than l l bine i'm just saying check it out online Filson. But it is it was it was not like that. And I remember

my grandparents saying, you know, they're going to wreck the people who are too weird for California are being kicked out of California and they're coming up here. And, you know, I was getting the hippie rant. And I remember it was a very different world. I don't know who else grew up. I mean, this is me in 1970s, late 1970s, early 1980s, I would go over to my friend's house and my friends would be

embarrassed sometimes they would go, okay, I know we're coming over to my house, but ignore my parents. Now, everybody has that, right? Ignore my parents. What they don't have is ignore my parents. They're getting high on pot and they do it all the time. And so just ignore them, okay? And you'd walk in and the house smelled like pot and the parents are like, hey, gosh.

Guys, how you doing? You got your homework all time. Boy, this is so great. I love you. And we were just like, okay, we love you, Mrs. Johnson, and Mr. Johnson, thank you. And we go upstairs. Oh, parents are so empty freaks. I mean, that's what I grew up in in Seattle.

So the people that were wearing, like, flannels, they still, they didn't leave, really. Because you see the, when you see the pushback, like, from all the Antifa stuff and all that lately in Seattle, plays like that in Portland. you see still see that remnants of the flannel wearing like you know down to earth people that are coming out and saying no screw that like i've had enough of this yeah no i don't know what it's i don't know where the lines are anymore but it used to be that you know in the in the cities around the universities it was nuts and then it just started getting bigger and bigger and it's pushed the flannel shirt people and I mean the flannel shirt people I mean just the regular I mean back then it was actual flannel shirts

but just the people who you know grew up around farms and you know or hunters and skiers and you know they like the water and their fishermen and you know hardworking people that live in the Pacific Northwest generally because they wanted to be left alone you know it was it was a chance

you know, even 50 years ago probably, to kind of just go up and be left alone and get away from everything without actually having to go to Alaska. Did you, have you ever been to Alaska, Jason? No, I want too bad. I'll tell you, it is the most remarkable place I've ever been in the world. It is stunning. But it is so far away.

It is so far away. It's crazy town far. Like you're flying and it never seems to end. And you'll, you'll, okay, well, we're leaving Seattle now. And you're like, wait, I flew from New York to Seattle and it didn't take me this long. And when you get over it, the state is enormous, enormous. I mean, it is, it's bigger than, bigger than Texas. I'm fascinated by the people that move there

Because you ever watch those shows like Like Life Below Zero And a lot of the people that moved out there Like were freedom loving And they're like look there's nowhere else we can move to Because our free like the government's all over us Yeah Like that's our last bastion of hope

And so they move out there just because they don't Well they don't want government to leave them alone They want to live off their own two hands You know they don't want handouts just on their own And life is ridiculously hard Like yeah Yeah Like

yeah. Like you don't ever. I mean, I just, I went up to visit and I think it is spectacular. I mean, it makes Seattle, have you ever been to Seattle? Yeah. Okay. It makes Seattle, oh, I don't know, look like Phoenix. I mean, it's, I mean, it is the natural beauty of Alaska is beyond description.

And so I would love to go up there. But living up there, oh my gosh. Oh, my gosh. I mean, I'm driving to the airport and they're like, hey, be careful. You got to slow down here just a couple of days ago. Somebody hit a moose and died. Like, we're on the tarmac. Yeah, they get through anything. You can't really stop the moose. Okay. You know, what is the, what is the Inuit tribe that is, you know, all the global warming experts went up and they tried to use the Inuit tribe and say, look, these people are, they're living. out on these islands and they're all going to drown. And they made a big deal about the Inuit tribe. Well, now the Inuits are all being eaten by polar bears because there are so many polar bears. They said, we cannot survive as a tribe.

We cannot survive with all of these polar bears. You've got to start killing these polar bears and let us kill our polar bears. And surprisingly, nobody's coming up from the global warming community to help the Inuits this time. I guess, oh, well, just be eaten by the polar bears.

Beck Christmas, you're going to get $20 off your subscription, and it's well worth it. So Jason and I are sitting here, and we're watching from the Houston Airport. They are just taking the casket out of the hearse, and they're bringing it. Donald Trump allowed Air Force One to come down and pick George Bush, George H.W. Bush's body up. Are those howitzers? Yeah, it looks like it, yeah. Yeah.

21 gun salute. Housers. Wow. Boy, if you're over the George Bush Airport and you're thinking about landing, that might scare the crap out of even if you don't know what's going on. They're firing howitzers at us. It is remarkable to see how we treat our fallen heroes and our presidents with such dignity. What group is this that is walking with the Catholic?

where it's all of the armed forces. I'm not sure where the other ones come from, but I think the Marines are picked from Aiton I, which is a group in D.C. And they do like all the silent drill stuff. Are those are the guys who do the tomb of the unknown soldier inside? Oh, that's the Army. So that'd be a different one.

But I bet they're all pulled from similar units all around D.C. So do you do, are those guys like going out to war ever? If you're in that or you're like, dude, I only know how to flip it around. It's like, that's like a secondary, like everyone like has to do like four years of whatever their goal their job was like I was intelligence then like after that they'll like make you do like recruiter or drill instructor or security marine security

guard or something like that and then eighth and I would be one of those you know extra choose or they choose you I think I think you could choose but you'd have or you wouldn't be able to choose but you could apply to do it but you'd have to be exceptional you know like physically fit like you know these guys I watched the um the the two of the unknown soldier. Yeah. If you've never seen that, it is unbelievable.

Yeah. It's really unbelievable. And they stand out there. And like, I mean, it's like the London guards. You know, the guy with a big,

you know, Wizard of Oz hats. Uh, when you go over to London, uh, those guys, you could almost do anything to them and they just don't react. And you're wondering how.

How do you stand it, man? I guarantee if they did that to a Marine security guard, they would not hold that bearing. They would knock you out. as I'm watching this as we're watching the casket now come out of

out of the hearse and go on to the plane it really strikes me and maybe because of the time that we've had this weekend to digest George H.W. Bush and his passing in his life and his reunion with his wife and his daughter Robin

and the way he left I mean when he said to James Baker He said, where are we heading, James? And James Baker responded, we're going to heaven. Good, because that's where I want to go. And I'm watching this, and we're so reverent, as we should be, we're so reverent with his body as we're bringing it up to lay in state. And I can't help but think, it's almost like taking a pair of shoes.

You know what I mean? If I left and I left my shoes here and everybody's like, let's treat his shoes with respect. I mean, there's shoes, man. You know, George Bush would come back and he'd be watching this going. It's just that. I was just using that, man. That's just, that's like a, it's like clothing.

It's all that is. Keep it because I'm going to need it again, but, so keep it nice. He was a great man. The first election I can remember, which was really weird. Like, my family was discussing about how great it was under Reagan and we'd be idiots if we didn't. You know, the policies are going to be the same. Oh, no. Very different.

Very different. But it's amazing. That was the first election I can remember as a kid them talking about, and his son would be the first one I'd vote for. So it was kind of interesting. George W. Was the first president you could vote for? First one? Oh, my gosh, I feel old.

Really? Yeah. Wow. Ronald Reagan was the first president I could vote for. And I just, I mean, it was a different era. and George H.W. Bush, I voted for, and the second time I think I voted for him as well, but I, when he said, read my lips, no new taxes, it was the biggest thing. And then when he violated that, you notice, I think it was Huff Po or New York Times or something,

that's what they praised him for. They said, you know, he had the guts to break on taxes. I was like, no, that was just stupid. That was just a political miscalculation. I mean, he believed in, you know, he was a bigger government, New World Order kind of guy. He sticks to his guns. He gets reelected. Do you think? You think he beats Bill? I do. I think he would have, I think he would have beat Bill Clinton. Although, what's so crazy is during that election, Bill Clinton went on, like, Arsenio Hall, which was a talk show, late night talk show, one of the first to go after, you know, like Carson. And he played the saxophone. and then he went on MTV.

Nobody had ever seen that before. And then he went on MTV and they asked him boxer or briefs. And the news for like a week was how outrageous of a question was that.

You don't ask the president of the United States a question like that. I mean, that's how much we have changed. Wow. That was in the 1990. It was 1992.

And I don't know. Bill Clinton became such just this you know, it was kind of like running with Obama. It was just a different thing. Running against Trump, just a different time that I don't know if you could have beaten him at that time. But he would have had a chance if he wouldn't have said no new taxes. George H.W. Bush, farewell, our friend, good and trusted servant. Welcome home.
