Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to aboard Via Rai. Embarque and profite. Embarque and celebrate. Rigolet. Publié. Savoré. Admirate.
Starting point is 00:00:11 And profite. Viaray, the voice that we love. Welcome to the program. I want to tell you about American Giant. Right, Glenn? Love American Giant. Great Christmas presents, by the way.
Starting point is 00:00:21 It is. We're doing some shopping. For me, if you are going to buy something for me, you should buy it from American Giant. Not a chance. I'm buying anything for you. Why not?
Starting point is 00:00:32 You don't want to support American manufacturing? No, I'll buy it. I'll buy you lots of clothing from American Gen. I do already. But they make all their stuff here in America. Yeah, no, it's great. So you don't want to buy me something that tells me you don't love America. No, I just don't want to buy anything for you.
Starting point is 00:00:47 You just see, here's how Christmas works. You give presents to people that you like or know or care about. Okay? I mean, I don't. You hit one out of the three. Anyway, American Giant, they make great American clothing, great American clothing. Everything is made here in America, and it's really great stuff. Both Stu and I both wear American Giant.
Starting point is 00:01:13 Not that that's a great endorsement. Somebody cool wears it too, I'm sure. American-dash giant.com slash Glenn. American-dash giant.com slash Glenn. Go there now, great Christmas gifts. America. You know, bad things in one. Washington usually happen right around the holidays.
Starting point is 00:02:00 Nobody's paying attention. Wait until you hear the latest that is coming out of Washington. I mean, you want to talk about you will own nothing. This one will do it. We'll tell you about it coming up in just a second. Also, Ramoswamy, they caught the guy who was threatening his life. And he was caught with his pants down. We're going to talk to an expert about that coming up in just a minute.
Starting point is 00:02:29 First, let me tell you about relief factor. Remember when you were a kid, you hit the ground running in the morning, didn't stop until evening. You know, as soon as the lights came on, you needed to go home. But depending on where you lived, I mean, I lived up by the Canadian border, that was late at night. And you could run and run all day. Well, sometimes now it sucks. It sucks. You lie there in bed, staring at the ceiling, either from pain or you just, I'm telling you,
Starting point is 00:02:59 youth, it is wasted on the young. You could sleep all the time when you didn't need to sleep, and now you need to sleep, and you can never go to sleep. I know from experience that relief factor sleep works, relief factor sleep, try it. It's all natural. You'll feel rejuvenated in the morning. You're not drugged out. Unleash the power of great sleep by calling 800.
Starting point is 00:03:23 number four relief. That's 800, the number four, relief. Relieffactor.com. Relieffactor.com for relief factor sleep. All righty then. Okay, we got some good stuff going on today. It looks like Ramoswamy had some problems, had some problems, caught with his pants down, so to speak. Oh. Yeah. You know, everyone's got a scandal in their closet somewhere. What happened? Well, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, and he went to the bathroom. And, uh, you know, it did, you know, I mean, you can figure out what happened from there, really. Or we can just play it.
Starting point is 00:04:08 We have the, uh, I mean, promoting an optimistic pro-human future that the science and evidence shows is real and that we need. Gentlemen, I have to go. Yeah, I just want to be sort of, exactly. I'm very clear about my position. I'm super pro-human. And I mean old humans, you know, humans in America, humans in Africa, Africa, Asia, and everybody's got her phone open in the bathroom. Yeah, that's Vivek, that's your phone, Vivek.
Starting point is 00:04:36 I'm not able to mute you. Vivek. All right, perfect. Go ahead, Elon. Sorry about that. So, well, I hope you feel better. I feel great. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:04:47 Sorry about that, guys. Okay, so. I mean, I, I feel like at least he needs. a little, some, there's an issue with his flow. I feel like there was not a lot. Yeah, I did. I felt that too. I felt that too. I'm a little concerned about him. Yeah. If you remember, this is
Starting point is 00:05:02 not the first time it happened. This is Jeffrey. Oh. On the Glenn Beck program, um, when he was miced up and had to go to the bathroom. Here it is. I'm talking about it now. Yeah, do it. I dare you. Hey, do you know. Was the movie talk radio shot here too? Yeah, yeah, what? Andrew Wilchouse here, by the way, uh, with us.
Starting point is 00:05:18 Hi, Andrew. Pat and Stu with I mean that's a race source I know my mic is on Did you turn his off The naked gun in real life Did that happen the naked gun in real life
Starting point is 00:05:36 Remember the naked gun at the end of one of those movies Where they He said oh yeah All right So What a disaster You know But the man who has experience
Starting point is 00:05:53 On what the vague maybe going through now. Jeff Fisher joins us. I do feel. I feel for Vivek. You do. Now, when this happened to you, how long did it,
Starting point is 00:06:08 how long did it last? I mean, it's been years now. At least 30 seconds, he kept going and going on. Oh, no, I mean, sorry. I do not have Vivek flow issues. Yes, that's true. That's true. It sounded like a racehorse in a bucket.
Starting point is 00:06:21 Jeffie had three gallons of sweet tea before he went. So, Jeffie, any advice for Vivek? Well, you just have to, you know, keep your eye on the microphone. Look, it wasn't my, you know, it wasn't my fault. You know, someone else forgot to turn my mic off. Well, you know, the audio guy would have been, you know, you know, would have been, you know, probably congratulated for keeping that off the air. But.
Starting point is 00:06:51 So your lesson is to blame. other people? That was your big let takeaway? Your responsibility when you go into a bathroom is to turn it off. Oh, okay. Well, just like Vivek, I mean, it was his responsibility, right? He didn't do it. Do you have any advice for him, any idea of what he might be facing the way to respond to this? You just have to own it. Yeah, just own it. You just own it. Okay. Just own it. All right. And that's why you blame someone else. All right.
Starting point is 00:07:23 Well, the only thing you didn't do was own it. Like, you just came on the air and did the opposite of owning it. Thanks a lot, Jeffie. God bless. Okay. It literally says on the screen, Jeffrey Fisher, urinating on the air expert. Well, you got to be an expert in something.
Starting point is 00:07:45 It is. I think this is a real problem, Jeffie. And you may have some commentary on this. Oh, no. That, like, we all. grew up and, you know, worked, came up in the, on the area. It's hard to believe sometimes, but we all were on radio. We all came up in normal traditional broadcasting sort of venues. That's the traditional path in some way or another. And now every single person on earth
Starting point is 00:08:08 has like a podcast or something, right? Like so the audience has an audience. Right. The audience has an audience. So they, like, we learned all these lessons. Like when you go to the bathroom and you're wearing a mic like that, you unplug it. Like you don't, you don't leave it to the audio guide. remember to turn it down because like they're got a million things going on that are more important than you're urinating. Mistakes happen. Right. Mistakes happen. You take the batteries out.
Starting point is 00:08:32 It's a pet. Like you go hardcore to make sure you're not the person unless you're Jeffie. Oh yeah, okay. Thank you. Or now Vivek. So you must feel better today. Vake Ramoswamy has joined your club. Yeah. And thankfully, you know, he needs to hopefully get some medical help.
Starting point is 00:08:51 Right. So yes. That may work out to his advantage. It would be a prostate issue. There's a doctor out there going, you know, I can fix that. I can fix that. All right. Well, a very, very prestigious club now. You know, people who have peed on the air.
Starting point is 00:09:08 That is. Happy to be part of it. Jeff Fisher and now Vivek Ramoswamy. Thank you so much. You're welcome. Merry Christmas, Jeff. Glad we could have you on. Glad we could have you on.
Starting point is 00:09:18 By the way, we should point out, Star of the Christmas twist, Jeffrey Fisher. Along with Glenn Beck, myself, Pat Gray, my wife, Lisa Page. airing for the first time in 4K, this Christmas Day, 24 hours of a Christmas twist. Wow. On Stu Does America YouTube channel, you can just pop this thing on, just watch the Christmas twist like a thousand times in a row. Does it make it better that it's in 4K? Oh, yeah, because if you ever wanted to see Jeffie, like every pore of Jeffie's face, you can see that. Yeah, it's good.
Starting point is 00:09:50 Like there's a one scene where he gets run over by a car and he's out begging for his life in the parking lot. And I wasn't there for that shot, but I was after when I remember looking at it guys saying, guys, you do realize there's a big booger in one of his nostrils. Like looking up at the camera, it's quite clear. Imagine seeing that in 4K. No, thank you. No, thank you. It's available. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:10:14 You know, so who was really hurt? The people in the car or Jeff? The car was totaled. A couple of children died. Oh, yeah. If I'm not mistaken. You kind of sliced right through like a knife through butter. It was really not good.
Starting point is 00:10:29 Really not good. A Christmas twist. I still want to, I really want to make a, I want to make a parody like the Christmas twist. Maybe we just do the Christmas twist and we really spend the money to do it wrong, right, you know what I mean? Possibly. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:49 Because it's, I mean, I, does anybody else? That happened already. Hallmark did it. Hallmark legitimately made, I swear they saw a Christmas twist and then made a real version of our parody. So somebody came over, they did. They really did. It's the same exact plot. I know.
Starting point is 00:11:03 They stole. Well, I mean, and I don't say this in a way of like, I'm going to sue. I'm very happy they did it, but they definitely did it. I want you to know, Stu, that it's the same plot in all of the movies. Well, that's kind of thing. Yeah. But there's always details, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:18 Like what business are they running? Yeah. You know, like, there's little pieces of it that are like different in every one of them. And they took almost all the details from a Christmas twist and made it into a new movie. It was called like the Christmas cookie. It was exactly the movie. I think we should, I think you should do an A, B comparison between the two. Ah, I like that.
Starting point is 00:11:38 So we can see. The, uh, the Christmas twist, if you've, if you've not seen it is, is absolutely fabulous. Uh, we've spent tens of dollars on it. and it is a Hallmark Christmas movie. Now, somebody came over to my house recently, and they looked at my wife and my children and I, like we were aliens. We had the Hallmark Channel up,
Starting point is 00:12:00 and the movie had just started, and we were in the kitchen and everything else, and we just started shouting out, that person is going to fall in love, and she's going to be with a bang, and, you know, you just shout out what you think it is right at the beginning and then you just keep narrowing it down. You know it immediately.
Starting point is 00:12:23 It's incredible. Oh, it is incredible. You can predict every detail of these. And then we watch them, you know, usually not sitting down, but we have it on and we usually watch them. And then we all act surprised when something happens. It's so good. And this person looked at me like I was nuts and I'm like, doesn't everybody, isn't that how you watch the Hallmark Channel? I think there is a target audience that is.
Starting point is 00:12:47 is, you know, maybe of a certain age. And just sweet old ladies that kind of watch these, you know, movies just like enjoy them. I think that's changing. I just love making fun of them. Oh, I love it. I legitimately enjoy watching them, though. So do I. It's like because some of them are so bad.
Starting point is 00:13:08 Like it's so horrible. We went to Godzilla yesterday. Pat was there. Taddy was there. It was great time. And in the previews, there was a movie with, Sidney Sweeney, who's, you know, she was in White Lotus and, you know, a bunch of stuff. Some people would call her an attractive young lady.
Starting point is 00:13:26 And she's in a, like, a romantic comedy where she's in a bikini, basically the entire thing. And like, it's this, it basically was a hallmark movie. Like, immediately they're like, these two people hate each other. Oh, let's fake a relationship to get other people mad. I don't know. What should we do? And then, gee, are they going to end up together in the end of the movie? I don't know, Glenn.
Starting point is 00:13:48 It was a real surprise. I have only seen two minutes of this thing, but I already know the end of it. If I were making that movie because it is so predictable, I would have, like, the parents who are trying to get the people together, you know, on each side. Yeah. So I'd have them, I just have them at the very end, shoot the people. And then you end it. So there's a murder at the end of your Hallmark movie? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:15 I want to see this Hallmark movie. This is the movie we should make. Just so you're like, oh, so you're watching, you're like, oh, these two is this is so predictable. And then, you know, the mom of, you know, one that wanted her to marry, you know, some other guy. But then this guy came in. She just stands up at the wedding and shoots him. And then the other mother who wanted her son to marry some other woman. At the same time, they just shoot the two.
Starting point is 00:14:44 And then it ends. Wow, that's a dark ending. It's a dark ending. But a surprise ending. Yes. Right? I think they should do that. Remember with that movie called, was it dawn till dusk from back in the day where it started out like a normal movie and then turned into a vampire movie halfway through it?
Starting point is 00:14:59 I think they should just do that. Everything's totally normal until the wedding scene and then everyone turns into like flying vampires and there's a giant war and then it ends. You may kiss the bride and he bites her neck and then it's over. You're like, what the hell happened? That would be great. They should do that. At one point, didn't Will Ferrell make a real Hallmark movie? Like Hallmark put it on T.
Starting point is 00:15:23 or it was Lifetime. Put it on their actual channel. And it was like kind of a movie making fun of all their movies. And it was dead. He did it dead straight. Like 100% straight. Didn't like lean into the jokes at all. I love that.
Starting point is 00:15:36 And they actually put it on TV. I have to. I never actually watch it. It seems like someone should go back to. We just have to do that next year. Yeah. Yeah. I know.
Starting point is 00:15:45 By the way, Glenn, did you know, this is my 25th year working with you? Do you know that? It's about to end. We've been here doing the stupid show all the way to December, our 25th year working together. That's kind of impressive. Don't I get like a watch or something? Isn't there something that comes from this?
Starting point is 00:16:04 Oh no, you already gave me the watch straight. Here just reggae. Here's a packet of saracha. There you go. This is very old. I mean, it's partially open. It expired in August. Well, does that say anything about your talent?
Starting point is 00:16:23 Yeah, I guess it does. It's inspired a long time ago. I'm happy if it lasted all the way to August. And it's crazy. I still have it in my drawer. See what I'm saying? About you? He's going to have a little syracia.

Starting point is 00:19:45 10 seconds. Station ID. The Securities and Exchange Commission, the SEC, is now trying to create and list a new type of company called Natural Asset Company, NAC. This sounds good, doesn't it? It's going to be represented on the New York Stock Exchange, and the proposal poses a little bit of a risk to you and me. and especially rural communities, because it is a mechanism for public and private land to be permanently removed from productive use
Starting point is 00:20:31 in the name of solving climate change. Remember, we told you that they were going to start making it impossible for you to own anything. The proposed creation of the natural asset companies is one of the greatest threats to the rural communities in the history of our country. This is according to Marlowe Oaks, he is the state treasurer of Utah. Under the proposal, private interests, including foreign-owned sovereign wealth funds,
Starting point is 00:21:02 could use their capital to purchase or manage farmland, national and state parks, and other mineral-rich areas, and essentially stop all economic activities like farming, grazing, and energy extraction. This is a threat. beyond threats. Now, the SEC decided that they were going to have a 20-day comment period on this, which is big of them. It's extraordinarily short. It just started, and they're going to be announcing their decision on January 2nd. So this is all happening while everybody is not paying attention.
Starting point is 00:21:47 Nobody is paying attention to this. They're making the decision on January 2nd. I'll give you more on this and what you can do. But please call your state officials and make sure that this does not go through the national asset company. Your local and state officials probably don't know anything about it. Nobody really does. This goes right along with how now they are starting to. sell air.
Starting point is 00:22:24 Sell air. So, in other words, if a company has a lot of carbon, they can buy the air over your land as long as you're not doing anything with it because the land is creating new clean air. And so they'll use it as a carbon offset. This is making the rich richer. That's all that's happening and putting you

Do you like about a thousand of your neighbors? I like one neighbor. No, so we're going to do that tonight.
Starting point is 00:25:09 We took a walk in the neighborhood with all of the lights and everything else. And it's just, you know, I said, you know, we just don't ever have time to go, you know, see people. And so we're going to, we're not going to go Carol. We're just going to give them cookies here, have some cookies. Do you take a motorized cart of some sort? No. Okay. No.
Starting point is 00:25:26 I love that. No, I got accused of having a motorized. cart in my neighborhood, which I'm the only one that doesn't have a golf cart, you know, because I don't belong to the club. Oh, that's right. Yeah. I remember that. I was rejected.
Starting point is 00:25:38 I remember that story. Yeah. Gosh, that was that was what money well spent by Pat and I had to bribe him to be rejected. Well, it was a good job. So I get this long, long letter that my wife or I are driving our golf cart and taking our dog for a run every morning and we're a, you know, danger, a driving danger, a driving hazard. We're like, what? Don't you remember, we didn't join the club?
Starting point is 00:26:04 We don't have a golf cart. This is rich person insult to injury. No, it really is. It's such a first world problem. They deny the club membership and then accuse you of having a golf cart. It's like, wow, they should build, they should build like a struggling. You were like, what are you doing? What are you doing?
Starting point is 00:26:22 You didn't count your golf carts. That's been a huge problem in Senegal right now. Same thing's going on there. It was part of the Darfur conflict at the beginning too. I know. Really? It's just, it's just. I am, because I own a piece of property behind the, you know, the club and stuff. Who doesn't?
Starting point is 00:26:42 I have told, I have told my, my son, I am going to get the world's tallest car lot flagpole. And I am just going to hoist the Jolly Rogers flag. and you'll be able to see it for tens of miles. And there won't be anything they can do about it. They will love it. They will love it. Anyway, so people are moving because of people like me. I think from Washington State, they're fleeing the Pacific Northwest,
Starting point is 00:27:17 California and then Oregon and Washington, and they're going to Idaho. Now, normally, I don't like it when people move. to California to, you know, my state. And I know, you know, people in Idaho are like, uh, no Californians, please. However, the state is already one of the most conservative states in the union, 58% or GOP voters, but the people that are moving in, they're moving because of politics, and they're registering at 65% GOP. So they're more conservative than the people in Idaho. And I say bring it on.
Starting point is 00:27:59 It's already a conservative state. Now there's going to be no, every Republican is going to lose 80 to 20 in Washington and California instead of 60 to 40, but who cares? Yeah, 65% of the people moving in are registered Republicans, 12% are Democrats. That's remarkable. Wow. We are sifting ourselves a little bit into. Yeah, we are. Which, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:28:23 I don't, you know what. I'm okay with it now. Whatever. I feel like, I feel like that's what. what I want to do, but it's really bad. Is it, though? Well, it's, it's not bad for us, per se. It's bad for the country.
Starting point is 00:28:36 Is it, though? Did the first one get on the air? Because, I don't know. I mean, I feel like, you know, look, it's okay to self-select at some level with people who generally see the world. I mean, I don't need someone who's going to agree with me on the exact tax cut policy that I want. But like I would like someone who thinks men are men and women are women.
Starting point is 00:29:00 It's hard to talk to people who can't grasp basic reality. People are blaming conservatives for self-sorting and they're saying, you know, this is horrible. Well, you know what? This is where I'm torn. Now, it's really pretty horrible when you are living in a state that forces your children to learn that there is no right or wrong, male or female and white people are bad. I mean, I wouldn't want to live in a state where they're teaching black people are bad. bad or Asian people are bad. No race. What do you say about that? I so you, you feel like you have no choice but to move. And I think it's bad for the country long term. But I tell you,
Starting point is 00:29:41 I'm, you know, in Texas, I'm here for a reason. I didn't want to live in New York anymore. Yeah. And like, I don't know. Was that a good choice or a bad choice? I mean, do you like being pelted by eggs on the way to work every day? No, I really. No, I really don't. Really don't. but GOP also does not solve all the problems. I want to play something that a friend of mine found because he's Bulgarian. And so he watches news from, you know, former Iron Curtain countries. He found something on their news in Ukraine, and it comes from 2016. It's Lindsey Graham and John McCain talking to Ukrainian soldiers
Starting point is 00:30:25 that next year is the year for offense, offense with Russia. Listen to this clip. Your fight is our fight. Your battle is our fight. 2017 will be the year of offense. All of us will go back to Washington and we will push the case against Russia. We'll all of us will go to Washington and we will be stuiov to sanctions. Enough of a Russian aggression.
Starting point is 00:30:58 It is time for them to pay a heavier price. Our fight is not with the Russian people, but with Putin. We're not with Russian people, but with Putin. Our promise to you is to take your calls to Washington. Our promise is that we, we'll be our battle to Washington. Inform the American people of your bravery. and make the case against the American people for your advantage. And make the case against Putin to the world.
Starting point is 00:31:32 Wow. Talk about a warmonger. That guy has never met a war. He wasn't in love with. But hang on just a second. Isn't it fascinating that you are standing there in 2016 right after the election and you're speaking as though the war is going to begin the next year? And it's already, the decisions already made.
Starting point is 00:31:58 We're going to go to war with Russia. We're going to back your case. It's going to make the case. Well, yeah. His decisions certainly made. Sure. But isn't it weird that after Donald Trump, we didn't really hear anything about Ukraine. We heard Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, but we didn't really hear anything about Ukraine.
Starting point is 00:32:15 And then as soon as Donald Trump is out, the first thing that happens is Ukraine. Yeah. Caused by a Russian invasion. Yes. But is that Russian invasion? Was that Russian invasion? Not only wouldn't have happened with Donald Trump because of who Donald Trump was. I think that's true.
Starting point is 00:32:35 But is it also because the Russians knew exactly what the warmongers were going to do under a Biden administration? Maybe. Who knows? So it's possible. I will say that, you know, this is 2016. So it is after Crimea. Like this stuff had heated up quite a bit already. Right.
Starting point is 00:32:53 So there's some reason for them to be talking about this. But it's two years later. It's two years after Crimea. And why is 2017? I'm convinced it's because they thought Hillary Clinton was going to win. Then when she didn't, the train has already left the station. And we're just going to do it anyway. And they had no idea that perhaps I'd love to play this clip for Donald Trump and get his point of view.
Starting point is 00:33:20 Was there a movement to go in? to Ukraine by the left and the right when you first got in. Because somebody in his administration would know if that was trying to be wielded against. But, you know, that was, remember, one of the problems that they had was they said that Donald Trump was too pro-Russian. And I mean before there was a computer sending signals to his bank. No, there's not. That was complete fabrication.
Starting point is 00:33:51 However, he was sending the message, we're not going to be hostile. We're not hostile. We just want to be friends with everybody. Well, that was our position that we were not going to allow Ukraine into NATO. And that position went away. They just went back on that completely. So, and I thought it was kind of reasonable for Russia not to want Ukraine to be part of NATO. And angry when we failed a promise, right?
Starting point is 00:34:23 We broke a promise to them. I mean, that was part of the agreement back in the day. It was. So, I mean, look, there's been lots of problems on both sides of this for a very long time. But it does seem like there was an agenda kind of in place that people wanted to execute. And Trump certainly got in the way with that. I mean, that clip there is a great example of it. They 100% at that moment believed Hillary Clinton was going to be the next president of the United States.
Starting point is 00:34:45 You could take that to back. It was December. So it was after the election. Oh, it was December? It was December. That's my mistake. I'm sorry. So that's interesting.
Starting point is 00:34:53 Then they already knew. Yeah. Right. But I think they thought that the train was already, had already left the station. That the deep state, everything was happening, you know, the State Department, and they just didn't think that I think that they thought it couldn't be stopped. At that time, too, they, you remember the early versions of the Trump administration would be maybe more. have more affinity for that type of thing, right? They had a lot of generals in control.
Starting point is 00:35:23 That was that early version of the Trump administration had maybe more likelihood to take that seriously. But it didn't work. I mean, he obviously Trump did not go along with McCain. Right. But the deep state started pushing Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia. That Russia had interfered. Putin was behind it. that the presidential election had been hijacked by Russia. I mean, they immediately went and made Russia the bad guy.
Starting point is 00:35:56 Yeah. Even though I'm not saying they're not the bad guy. They are the bad guy. They are the bad guy. But they immediately made that they pinned all stuff that wasn't true on Russia. Yeah. I mean, they've had it out for Russia. And it's amazing to me how does it seem like anybody is actually.
Starting point is 00:36:15 representing you? Not really. Yeah. Not really. Right? And so people buy into conspiracy theories because you have to try to explain it. Yeah. Why is no one else standing up for America? And how much have things changed since that presidential debate between Obama and Romney, where Obama told Romney that the 1980s called and they wanted their Russian policy back, that you shouldn't be considering Russia even inanimate. at that point. It was Al-Qaeda that was the enemy, not Russia. Well, that's interesting how much that's changed over the last
Starting point is 00:36:55 few years. Well, I think the Russia thing came from the Clinton and Biden camp. I really, I mean, I think they've been making money with Russia and Ukraine on the side, dirty money
Starting point is 00:37:11 for a long time. Yeah. And I think this was part of their plan the whole time, quite honest. Honestly. Yeah. But I could be wrong. Pat, thank you so much. God bless. No, no. Thank you. No, no. But I mean that. Okay, you mean it, I don't. Okay.

Starting point is 00:41:45 I could go as Santa, and nobody would say, my gosh, look how fatty is. Because he'd be like, he looks like Santa. He's jolly. You should just say, yes. They say, have you put on some weight?
Starting point is 00:41:58 No, doctor. I'm just more jolly now. I'm Santa. Okay? I might do that. I might do that. I'm a little nervous about this. I don't know why.
Starting point is 00:42:09 Really? Yeah, I'm a little nervous about this. Why would you mean nervous? I don't know. It's like, you know. It's just, I don't know. There's a lot of big names there, but, you know, certainly fit in these categories.
Starting point is 00:42:22 I mean, they didn't, you know, they didn't book me. You know, it's like, that's it. That's an insult. I mean, that's an insult. I will be at Bob's Chili Cookoff.

And I'm not talking about the chimney because we all know that is a major problem. People are coming down once a year. It's a terrible, terrible vulnerability to your home.
Starting point is 00:43:19 But look, home stealing is real and it is a real problem. According to the FBI, it's one of the fastest growing crimes in America. people who are cybercriminals just take your title and they forge all the signatures and they turn the paperwork in and it looks like it's, you know, your home is their home and they can borrow against your equity. That's a huge problem. And it winds up burning thousands of people every single year. Don't let one of them be you. Just stop it. Stop it before it starts with home title lock.
Starting point is 00:43:50 Home title lock is one of the fastest growing companies in the country. Why? Because they're constantly protecting people from. all of this nonsense that is going on in the world right now. Home Titlelock comes in and they can make all the difference between a secure home title and a really horrible experience. Go to hometitleock.com, home titlelock.com, use the code Beck.

Starting point is 00:46:06 This is going to come. I don't need, Stu, I don't know if this is going to work. Um, But in Portland, they're trying to clean up the streets and they're going to ban public drug use. Yeah, yeah. Why? That's the best place to do drugs.
Starting point is 00:46:23 I know on the street, right? But they're going to ban it. They're going to ban it. What fun is doing drugs in private? I know. And here's a crazy idea. Tennessee has decided criminals, they're going to lock them up. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:39 What? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No more repeat violent offense. Well, that's the point. And you know what they found out when they started doing this in Tennessee? What? Crime went down. You're kidding me. No, now that's, I don't know, causation correlation. Yeah, it could be anything. You know, could be COVID.
Starting point is 00:46:57 It could be COVID. We don't know for sure. But there's a couple of novel ideas for you just to put in that, you know, pipe of yours and smoke it up. But not on the streets of Portland. I mean, well, you could today, but they're thinking about it as they try to clean Portland up. I mean, what is the problem? What is the problem there in Portland? I can't imagine. Let me talk to you here a little bit about inflation. How important inflation is going to be in your life and the coming years here in America.
Starting point is 00:47:29 You've got to plan for it. But do you know what causes inflation? Do you know how it works? You know, how to end inflation? Do your kids know about it? Because they're going to inherit the economy that we leave them with, and they're going to have to deal with this for a very long time. It's kind of scary when you think about it.
Starting point is 00:47:49 Don't tell them that because it'll bum them out. Anyway, Tuttle Twins would like to enlighten them and you with a free stocking stuffer. It's called Tuttle Twins and the Creature from Jekyll Island. It is a great book based on the epic bestseller, the creature from Jekyll Island. But this one is for kids.

Starting point is 00:48:31 Tuttle twinsbeck.com. Tuttle twinsbeck.com. All right, you sick, twisted freak. Welcome to the program. Did you see that Tucker Carlson has launched his own streaming web service? I did. It's a big deal. Very big deal.
Starting point is 00:48:48 Very big deal. I was thinking about this, Glenn, you know, in most industries, people get upset when they have new competition. And it's like, I don't know. I feel like with conservative media, like I'm happy that there are other voices and other places like talking about this stuff. We need them. I know. The only thing, the only thing that I'm worried about. on that is, you know, the blaze is set up to where, you know, you come in and I don't take part of your money or anything like that.
Starting point is 00:49:19 You know, you make your money and your voices on the blaze. And that way we can get entrepreneurial kind of people that are here and they can build it here. And I say that only because financial times are coming. I mean, they're already here. But if you have to join Daily Wire, The Blaze, Tucker Carl's a lot. It becomes a lot. It becomes a lot. Now, we used to have that in our cable.
Starting point is 00:49:47 This is just cable. But I wish we could find a way. Is this on? What happened to my mic? I don't know, Glenn's. My mic is off. Glenn's mic seemed to go off here. Why don't you?
Starting point is 00:49:59 Yeah. Why don't you move over to that seat for a second, see if that works. Yeah, because it's true. There was a time where, like, he doesn't sorry we're having some technical difficulties please stand by okay there so there was a there was a time you know that we all paid for cable and I wish there was a way we could bundle like cable did so you had one bill and you could get everybody but I you know I don't I don't know if you give me 20% of all the memberships I'll make sure it happens I'll get that done so you see that's
Starting point is 00:50:28 the point that's what I'm trying to avoid I'm trying to make sure that everybody that is doing this still retains, you know, their own, you know, their own voice and their own responsibility, their own money and everything else. Look, it's a problem. It's a bit of an issue. I agree. But I do like having more voices out there. Me too. And the good thing is, at least with most of these services, the Blaze is certainly included in that as well as I think Tucker. I heard him talk about it a little bit with Megan Kelly yesterday. And you know, you're going to have a lot of the stuff that's available for everybody. Yeah. And then if you want the extra stuff, you want the more in-depth stuff, Sure. You go with the subscription. So I think it works well for everybody.
Starting point is 00:51:05 And you don't have that pressure. Stuff on X is not going away. Yeah, you know, it's interesting, Glenn, there was a thing when you did this back in the day. When you left Fox and decided to start your own thing, there was a big discussion about, well, Glenn and Beck's just going to disappear. He's no longer going to be relevant. Fox, remember, they tried to, this is when they were trying to, by the way, when they, let me make sure I say this clearly is for everyone in the media to understand. When they were trying to resign you to a contract, that was the argument Fox. made to you. Roger made to you.
Starting point is 00:51:32 Yeah. And said, hey, you're not really, he said, you're not really going. He thought I was bluffing. You're not really going to the internet. Right. I mean, that's, quote, a fad. Right. It's going to be over. Yeah, nobody leaves. Nobody leaves. It's too big of a platform. And that argument was made. And at that point, considering we were in like the time of buffering, like, you could barely get video to load on the internet at that point. The only one that was doing live streaming was Major League Baseball. Major League Baseball. That's it. Nobody else. Not Netflix, Amazon, nobody. It hadn't even started yet. So we weren't even on that platform. And at that time, the argument was, I think, convincing to a lot of people, right?
Starting point is 00:52:06 Like, you'd say, okay, well, you had this big Fox thing and then you're taking this big risk by going. Now, you still had the radio show, so it wasn't exactly purely an argument. But there was an argument of basically you're making, you're trading freedom for relevance, right? That was the argument at the time. Right. But like, since then, that's totally changed. I mean, you were the first one kind of blazing that path. But like, I mean, look at Megan.
Starting point is 00:52:29 I mean, Megan left, you know, some of the highest profile gigs in media. Oh, yeah. And is now making a massive impact hosting debates. I know, I know. Right. As an independent. Yeah. I mean, I went invisible for a while because there was, no, no, no. But I mean, but we knew that going in.
Starting point is 00:52:47 There was nobody watching anything online at the time. Nobody. I mean, television perspective. You know, because of the radio, you always had a big impact. Tucker even said to me, recently he said, I thought you were nuts when you left. I thought it was absolutely nuts. And I have to tell you, as I found out about Tucker's thing this morning as I'm reading the headlines, I signed up immediately. I didn't even finish reading the article. I went to the
Starting point is 00:53:14 website and I signed up. I belong to the Daily Wire. I belong to Tucker Carlson. And I'm thrilled. I am thrilled. And I can't wait to see what Tucker Carlson is going to do with his success. Yeah. I mean, he, you know, look, he's one of the biggest voices in conservative media. And it's interesting because they have tried so hard to silence him.
Starting point is 00:53:39 They've really... Can't anymore. Well, you can, but it's going to be very difficult. Because of Elon Musk. Look at what happened with Alex Jones. Yeah, he's back on now. They banned Alex Jones and he kind of went away for the mainstream.
Starting point is 00:53:56 Okay? But he never went really away for his own people. Now, he owes a billion dollars. And I think I think anybody who is fair-minded, even if you didn't like Alex Jones, I mean, Alex Jones was on the air, you know, right after September 11th, when I went to CNN, he said, who is this guy? This guy, nobody even knows this guy. This guy's a CIA agent. Okay, Alex. So, you know, you might have your bone to pick, but I think everyone could say a billion dollar a little ridiculous that's totally ridiculous totally it's totally it was it was all politically driven and emotionally driven as well i mean i think what he said about the
Starting point is 00:54:39 the victims of uh what is it sandy hook sandy hook was despicable yeah he's had those moments for sure yeah yeah and look those but now he i think he's kind of learned a lesson maybe i don't know i don't know if i mean He certainly has said he, you know, regrets those comments. And I do, you know, I do find it fascinating, though. I was reading that. I can't remember if it was this story before it was another one. Oh, no, it was the Rudy Giuliani case. The Rudy Giuliani case is going on right now where he's being accused of defamation.
Starting point is 00:55:11 And because he went after, he even reported, he talked about these two election workers and said the bad things about it. Things now he says now that we're wrong. Like, he admits that now. And they're coming after him for. tens of millions of dollars for these things. And it's fascinating to me how this system works because the evidence they use as to why that was harmful are things like people were posting online. They said they wanted to kill these people.
Starting point is 00:55:40 They wanted them to hang. That's not your responsibility. Shouldn't those people be the ones getting sued? Yes. How about finding out who those people are and suing them? Now look, Giuliani. Or arresting them. Right.
Starting point is 00:55:53 I mean, those are crying. Yes. And it's like for some reason, Julian, like, look, I'm not defending Giuliani's actions through that period. But like, if what he said, quote unquote,
Starting point is 00:56:04 caused someone to post a terrible thing, a crime online, we are acting as if those people have no agency at all. And that Giuliani, or in this case, Alex Jones, is the arbiter of this.
Starting point is 00:56:20 It's bizarre. But isn't that what the left argues all the time that you don't have agency on your own. Yeah, you don't have responsibility. No one has personal responsibility. Nobody has agency. Nobody has anything. And it's like, well, you go down this road and it's like people should be responsible for their own actions. If the problem is these people were being threatened, those people who threatened them should be convicted of crimes. Exactly right. Maybe there's a responsibility for Giuliani in what he said.
Starting point is 00:56:48 But you're putting it in tens of millions of dollars because of these side consequences that other people executed. He never said he wanted someone murdered. But I think all of this stuff is coming back around. I really do. I think and it's because of Elon Musk.
Starting point is 00:57:07 The reason why I brought up Alex Jones was because Elon Musk's Elon Musk put him back on. And in fact, do we have the clip of Elon Musk? Here's cut five. Listen to this. The FBI, the DHS, etc. If they reach out to X I believe they called a defensive briefings.
Starting point is 00:57:23 in 2020 regarding, which eventually culminated in the censorship of Hunter Biden. If they started reaching out again, would that be something that you or the team, and, you know, I can understand if you want to answer now, but you would consider making public? We will be as transparent as possible with, you know, and frankly, if I think a government agency is breaking the law in their demands on the platform. them, I would be prepared to go to prison personally if I think they are the ones breaking the law. I think he means that, too. I think he absolutely means that.
Starting point is 00:58:04 Both Stu and I are reading the book on Elon Musk right now. And he's not afraid of this kind of stuff. He does not like bullies. No. You know, I don't think he's a, I'm a strict constitutionalist. And I don't, no. He is who he is. But one of the things he is,
Starting point is 00:58:23 is an underdog that does not like bullies. And he'll take him apart. He would go to jail before he would do something that he felt the government was telling him to do that he felt was wrong. Yeah. I think he would go to jail. But he's the game changer. He is truly the game changer. It's, you know, there's been voices like mine, voices like Carlson.
Starting point is 00:58:50 I mean, look at what Tucker has done just on act. That kept him relevant that fast. And it kept him relevant because Fox never took online seriously. Still today, they don't. So he could go on an online platform and just have his show, which kept him relevant because it wasn't a competitor and he wasn't fighting for commercial time. that was a mistake on Fox that just shows they still don't take it seriously but because Elon Musk
Starting point is 00:59:27 before Elon Musk Tucker Carlson just would have been gone just gone and he would have had to sit out a contract before he could come to places like this yeah I mean think about what Elon Musk just did he makes this comment that is perceived widely
Starting point is 00:59:46 to have anti-Semitic issues and now you know even people like Ben Shapiro defended him on it for what he was trying to say. He clarified it later. He said it was a mistake the way he worded it. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You know the whole deal. But all, you know, all these advertisers drop because they've, of this comment that Elon Musk makes. Then he goes in front of the New York Times at their deal book situation and says, you know, F off if you're going to, don't, don't advertise with us. I don't care. Go screw yourself. He does that. Right after that puts Alex Jones back on X, right?
Starting point is 01:00:21 And not only is he put him back on, he's recommending you follow him. Like, I mean, there was a story on CNN today that it was, that they were, like, you know, what he's who to follow? Yeah. They're putting Alex Jones in there, like, it's a priority for people to follow. Like, that's not someone who cares about your games. No, that's somebody who is fighting against you and just rubbing your nose in it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:45 He, you know, Elon does not care. hair. And this is a guy who, by the way, defended the ban on Alex Jones saying that Alex Jones was over the line. Like the stuff that he did about Sandy Hook, that was over the line. That was a little too crazy. He's changed that over the past six months or so. That was his first reaction.

He's the code Glenn Plus and save. Well, we have Justin Haskins on with us, who is from the Heartland.
Starting point is 01:07:16 The Heartland. What is it? Foundation or Institute, yeah. He belongs in an institute. Anyway, he's here to tell us about the poll that was done by Ravis. Rasmussen that we spoke about yesterday. It is officially out today. It is the Heartland Rasmussen poll on voter fraud. And for the first time, a poll has been done and asked, did you cheat? Did you or somebody you know fill out a ballot that wasn't yours? Did you forge a name?
Starting point is 01:07:56 And shockingly, there was about 8.000. to 10% of people on both sides that's claimed to be cheating in the 2020 election. Justin, welcome to the program. Merry Christmas. That's a great introduction, too. I really appreciate that. Radio Hall of Fame or everyone. There you go.
Starting point is 01:08:17 You know, look, once you're in the Hall of Fame, they can't revoke it. So you're kind of like coast. You're like, whatever. I mean, OJ. Simpson is still in the NFL Hall of Fame. Amen. You can't really do anything to get out. So be glad I didn't chop your head off. I am. I really am. Thanks.
Starting point is 01:08:34 Okay. So tell me the ins and outs of this poll, because I have some questions. First, set the stage on the poll. The 2020 election. We asked people about, so we asked them, did you fill out your, did someone else fill out a ballot for you using your name? Did you fill out someone else's ballot? Did you sign a ballot, forge a signature for someone else's ballot, which, with or without their permission. And honestly, I don't think, I had this idea for a poll about a month ago, and I had numerous, numerous people telling me, do not do this poll.
Starting point is 01:09:38 Do not a huge bus. I'm going to admit that they commit, who's probably listening to the show right now, beg me, don't do this show. And as usual, Dad was wrong, and I was right, and I'm glad that I did the poll. Because more, you said in the lead-up to this, it was somewhere between 8 to 10%
Starting point is 01:10:03 I think you said, admitted to committing fraud. It's actually double that. It was between 17 and 21% of people who did mail-in ballots said yes to one of the questions that we asked. So these are people admitting. This is, this is at minimum. One in five mail-in ballots, fraudulent. Okay, so hang on. I have sat down, you know, at the kitchen and not with,
Starting point is 01:10:32 voter stuff, but I've sat down in the kitchen and, you know, I'm filling out some paperwork and my wife is supposed to fill it out or whatever. And she'll be like, my hands are a mess. I've just, just sign it. I don't want to sign it. Just sign it. I've filled out forms for her. And I think a lot of people have, you know, been in a situation to where you're like, just, just sign it. Because you're, it's your spouse and you're together. And you're not, you don't think you're committing fraud because everybody, there's no victim here, you know what I mean? How much of a role do you think that played with, like, older people that they're, you know, they're voting together at home and maybe the wife or the husband is filling out the ballot,
Starting point is 01:11:18 you know, but they're sitting there together. Of the question. This is why we didn't just ask only one kind of question. We also asked, you know, did you cast a ballot in a state where you're no longer a resident? It's kind of hard to explain that one. You know, or did you, you know, and did you fill out someone's ballot is a little bit different than did you just sign it kind of at the end. So I think there's that as well. The really important thing I think for people to keep in mind, though, is that although that scenario is entirely possible, I think a lot of people actually did experience it,
Starting point is 01:11:57 and people might be thinking, well, you know, what's the big deal? Well, the big deal is this. In previous elections, when you had to go vote in person, that would never happen. Correct. That couldn't happen. And so I think this explains. I think this survey explains why we saw so many additional votes. We saw it was like 20 million additional votes or some crazy thing like that that we had never seen before.
Starting point is 01:12:20 Why did we see record number of votes? I think because there were a ton of people filling out ballots for other people in the House. I think that was the most common form of voter fraud. And so that's not on the same level maybe as stealing ballots from a ballot box or something like that, but it's still a form of fraud and it's still something that impacted the election. So what's going to happen because of this poll? I mean, first of all, when you look at it, it's 22% Democrat, 21% Republican. But that's misleading because almost two to one, if I'm not mistaken, Democrats are sending in ballots where Republicans are going in and voting on election day.
Starting point is 01:13:07 Yeah, I mean, who did the affiliation or Trump or anything? And I don't know that we could tell who won the election. I don't know that we could tell who won. Because in a lot of these states, like in Georgia and places like that, I mean, the difference between Trump and Biden was a fraction of a percentage point. So if voter fraud was even close to what we're seeing in this poll, we don't know who won in that state. That's the truth.
Starting point is 01:13:55 And so what we have to do going forward is making sure that if you're going to, have mail-in-balloting, which I don't think is a great idea, but if you're going to have it in your state, then a widespread mail-in-balloting, then make people go to a notary or someone who's an unbiased party. Most government buildings have a notary anyway. Banks have notaries for their customers. That's usually for free. If you require that, then most of this problem pretty much goes away overnight. Oh my gosh, voter suppression. Now you're expecting people of any color, pink, black, yellow, red, orange, purple, to know where they could find a notary? That's something only in a rich person's world.
Starting point is 01:14:47 I see what you're doing. You're going to say, and my response to that would be fine. Then we'll send notaries to people's houses. We'll do whatever we have to do to get this. No, here's what we'll do. Here's what we'll do. Go on election day and vote. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:05 Go on election day and vote. Make voting three days, whatever, but go to the place where we all have to go. We all have to get the little flag, you know, sticker. I voted today. We, that's what you do. Unless, I mean, unless you have a, you know, an excuse, right? Like, I mean, that's how it did with us. We used to work out a state on election day, obviously doing election coverage.
Starting point is 01:15:30 It was impossible for us to get there on that day. So we had an outside ballot. We had one of those, what are they called? Provisional. No, not provisional. That's a T bell. That's a T ballot. Thank you so much, Justin.
Starting point is 01:15:42 Hey, Justin, do you have anything that you can compare this to? Obviously, like, I'm wondering, is this a consistent number from election to election, or is this something that is odd in 2020? Do we know because there's, I mean, this is the first. I'm sorry. Sorry, I thought I asked Justin. Was it Justin? I thought I thought it's Justin. Hey, Justin, what's your answer to this?
Starting point is 01:16:04 And then Glenn answers. So I don't know. I don't know. Well, Glenn and I share one mind. So really, when you ask. And it's my show. Yeah. So the answer to the question is that we do not have, this poll has never been done before.
Starting point is 01:16:20 As far as I could tell, I tried to find something similar to it. I'm not sure that it would even necessarily matter if it had in some ways. Why? Because during COVID, so dramatically, there was, prior to COVID, there was hardly any mail-in-balloting. allowed anyway all that much. It definitely expanded, however, there were states that were doing it. There were, but not like, not like this.
Starting point is 01:16:52 Yeah, not like this. This could sway the national election now. The way we do it now, I mean, and honestly, the government should care. Here's why. chaos ensues. If you don't believe the election results, then strongman tactics or chaos ensues.
Starting point is 01:17:24 You know, why did January 6 happen? Well, because there were a lot of people that didn't believe that those were accurate results. Well, that's because Donald Trump. No, it's because we had unprecedented changes and also for the first time in my life with an exception of the year 2000, all of a sudden we don't know the answer. And even in the year 2000, they didn't shut down counting.
Starting point is 01:17:56 There were just too many things that were irregular. And the government has lied and lied and lied about so many different things. It's a conspiracy theory. It's a conspiracy theory. Oh, you's got a bank in Moscow. that's contacting him at Trump Tower. Wait, what? They're pushing conspiracy theories
Starting point is 01:18:17 while saying real things are conspiracy theory. If they don't clean this up, and they know this, they are responsible for any kind of unrest, any kind of, because it's easy to take care of, especially in today's world. It's called blockchain.
Starting point is 01:18:39 Really simple. Hard to imagine that this didn't... You're a completely reasonable person for believing that voter fraud impacted the election based on this survey and a whole bunch of other things that happened. But to just give people some perspective on the numbers, there were 159 million ballots cast, 159 million, that's all ballots. 68 million of those ballots were election in 2020 ever. if this survey is reflective of what actually happened and one in five mail-in ballots are potentially
Starting point is 01:19:27 fraudulent or should have been thrown out, shouldn't have been accepted, that would be 13 million ballots. 13 million ballots. And so this has to be cleaned up, or we don't have a country. We don't have a country anymore because you're exactly right. No one will trust the election. So here's the latest. The D.C. Board has removed now 65,000 in ineligible registrations and will remove 38,000 more in California and Illinois contacted by Judicial Watch. So judicial watch sent notice letters to the election officials in D.C., California, Illinois, saying you're violating the National Voter Registration Act. There are people that have moved out of the state that are long dead, didn't exist,
Starting point is 01:20:16 whatever, should not be voting, and you're leaving them on. the rolls. I mean, it really is crazy to me that it only seems like the right is doing anything about this. Well, of course, they think they're going to lose. Well, we're losing our republic. Shouldn't we all care about this? Shouldn't we care? I mean, the poll comes out, and it's, you can't really explain it this way because of the numbers of people that were participating, but just looking at it at the surface, 21 percent, 20, 22% Republican Democrat. We should all care about this.
Starting point is 01:20:55 The minute we stop caring about every single vote that is cast is the day the Republic is no more. And I don't know. Maybe we're there. Maybe we're already past it. I'm not. I wish someone would lead the charge to clean this up. Yeah, that's a great point.
Starting point is 01:21:14 And when in their regard, terrible. Terrible in it. And some deep blue states are actually better mail-in-balloting in Rhode Island, which is as blue of a state as you will ever find, been dominated by the Democrat Party for a century. Quickly. They require two witnesses or a notary for a person to cast a mail-in-ballot. They have two witnesses or a notary.
Starting point is 01:21:45 Most red states don't even require any witness at all. Some of them don't even do signature verification for mail-in- ballots. Like Kansas doesn't even do a signature verification. The poll is out. The poll is out today. I'm sorry, just I got to cut you off. We've got to go. Part of my Hall of Fame thing, I keep a tight clock.

Starting point is 01:27:49 It's amazing. It's from Will Pierce. Listen to what he says. I've been a loyal Democrat for as long as I can remember. Oh, it's one of these fake Democrats. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Keep listening.
Starting point is 01:28:01 I spearheaded Joe Biden's exploratory effort in 2015. I served as a senior advisor to Senator Bernie Sanders. during the 2016 and 2020 elections. I even played a role as a fundraiser for Biden during the 2020 general election. But despite my active involvement in the Democratic Party, the concerns I hold regarding the party's direction in recent years can no longer be ignored. I love our country. That is why I can no longer remain in today's Democratic Party,
Starting point is 01:28:37 a party that is focused on dividing us by radicalizing every issue and undermining our rights enshrined in the Constitution. The main reason I'm leaving the Democratic Party is its utter disconnect with the American people. The party that once championed the working class has now been overtaken by elites in affluent hubs who couldn't care less about the struggles of the average American. This shift has left many Americans, including. myself unheard and feeling like an afterthought of the Democratic Party. The party's shortcomings in education have played a significant role in my departure as well. They have declared war on concerned parents like myself, labeling them domestic terrorists or for expressing their opposition to radical curricula that disseminate sexual content to
Starting point is 01:29:32 young children. The party's emphasis on progressive ideology in schools, at the expense of parental involvement and a robust STEM education raises legitimate concerns about the future preparedness of our children. It is time to shift our focus back to the fundamentals that ensure our children's success thereby building a foundation for a more prosperous society. I would love to talk to this guy because I can't imagine that we agree on, but so far I agree with everybody. Everything. We work for Bernie Sanders.
Starting point is 01:30:09 Right. But I mean, it's interesting. And this isn't a, hey, Joe Biden's too old. We need a better candidate. No, no, no. This is a full-fledged. What we've been saying. Yeah. I think the strongest line so far is, I love our country. Also, the Democratic Party shift towards identity politics has steered us away from the timeless belief of judging individuals by their character and not by the color of their skin or similar characteristics. the weaponization of race and gender ideology for partisan political purposes does a significant disservice to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy, and it's a detriment to us all. Amen. Politics to me is about addition, not division. It is meant to unite us as a nation where we can put aside our differences on some issues to come together on as one cohesive unit. However, the Democrats' tendency to label dissenters as extreme, shutting down meaningful discourse, has veered away from the principles I believe are essential for a thriving democracy.
Starting point is 01:31:12 In the years as part of the Democratic Party, I witnessed a hesitancy and, at points, clear unwillingness to address critical issues for fear of alienating segments of the party. I'm looking at the Democratic Party's vision for an ideal world, and it is, a very concerning reality that emerges. They imagine a country where dissent from the powers that be result in punishment. This guy, I mean, he was part of Biden. He was part of Bernie Sanders. And now he is finally to a place to where he realizes they imagine a country where dissent from the powers that be result in punishment. That is fascism. The term equity has lost its true meaning as the party struggles to understand its use in a diverse nation.
Starting point is 01:32:07 What was once a noble pursuit of justice and fairness has been corrupted within democratic circles, diluting its significance to the point to where it has lost any meaning. The party's attempts to champion equity now seem to prioritize ideological conformity over the genuine pursuits of justice, leaving a void in the very principles that should guide our efforts toward a more inclusive and just society. As I've grown older, my priorities have shifted toward ensuring that my tax dollars contribute to the welfare of our children, support for the less fortunate and secure national defense. Unfortunately, the Democratic Party's current focus involves burdensome taxation, prioritizing foreign aid over domestic needs,
Starting point is 01:32:57 and accumulating debt that compromises our national security. The Democratic Party's leadership also raises concern. President Biden's struggles while doing the job day-to-day, coupled with controversy surrounding his family, have brought forward serious issues that warrant our careful consideration. The heavy-handed influence of the Clinton dynasty within the Democratic Party further adds to the narrative of a party entangled in controversies and detached from the concerns of everyday Americans. Democratic policies paint a bleak picture of a country where a significant portion of people's hard-earned wages are funneled into an ever-expanding government, leaving individuals working
Starting point is 01:33:41 tirelessly just to make ends meet. Take, for instance, San Francisco and Chicago, where tax dollars are diverted from aiding the most vulnerable to instead masking their struggles from public view. In this unsettling scenario, the elites indulge. in the luxury of private jets and utilize taxpayer funds for personal gain. They are far more concerned with consolidating power than with genuinely addressing the needs and concerns of the American people. The difference between stated values and actual behavior undermines the trust that citizens should be able to place in their government. As I reflect on these issues, I'm compelled to seek a political home that a lot of
Starting point is 01:34:29 with a commitment to judging individuals by their character, fostering accountability, and advancing the well-being of all Americans. By joining the Republican Party, I am not abandoning my values. Instead, I'm seeking a political home that aligns more closely with my vision for a free, united, and prosperous America. The Republican Party, with its emphasis on individual freedoms, fisting, responsibility and a commitment to addressing the concerns of all Americans offers a new path forward, one that I am eager to explore as I reenter the political arena. That is fascinating.
Starting point is 01:35:12 He's wrong about the Republican Party, but I mean, fiscal responsibility? Uh-huh. Right. In comparison, maybe. But in comparison. In comparison, perhaps, perhaps. That is, I think, incredible. Can you ever see yourself having that type of moment?
Starting point is 01:35:30 Yes. I think we already have. I think we already have. I've gone from not a Republican because I just don't like labels to not a Republican because I don't like the Republicans. I mean, I vote generally Republican, but I'll never give them a dime ever again. If I had a choice to get out and have another, if another party started that was serious, like a libertarian party, it feels like they're never really serious about winning. And if I had another choice, that's why I'm independent.
Starting point is 01:36:11 I think that's why a vast, vast number of former Republicans and Democrats are now going independent because they don't feel either party is really representing them. Yeah, his transition there is interesting because he's saying, I haven't changed my principles, but like, you know, talking about some of these things. Yeah. I mean, like, how can you be with Bernie Sanders advisor and care about fiscal responsibility? I mean, come on. How does you know? That's why I'd love to talk to him.
Starting point is 01:36:42 Yeah. I mean, I'm curious as to whether it was one of those things where he's realizing he was wrong? Because he's saying I'm still the same guy, basically. But he did say on fiscal responsibility. as I got, as I have gotten older. So it's kind of like if you're not a liberal when you're, you know, 20, you don't have a heart. If you're not conservative by the time you're 50, you don't have a brain in the famous words of Churchill. Yeah, that's interesting. So this would be a really fascinating guy to talk to.
Starting point is 01:37:12 I would love to talk to this guy. How does that transition happen, Glenn? Because you have the, if you have a moment like that where you're going, I mean, this is a big life change. He is the most hated man on the left for. while. You're saying what's the result of this happening? Yeah. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 01:37:28 That's for sure. But like I'm saying in a quiet moment, right? Like you're at your house. And one day you're looking at your life and you're saying, God, I've spent my entire life trying to get people like Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden elected. And I think they're wrong. Like I think I've, I've spent my life working for something that is actually hurting the country.
Starting point is 01:37:48 What kind of moment is that in a person's life? I can think we've had that. We had that with the Patriot Act. We had that smaller ones, but it was led to the same thing. That's a policy though. That's not a... Okay. Try this. I have always been red, white, and blue.
Starting point is 01:38:09 I bleed red, white, and blue. I bleed the United States of America. I have always believed that we were the good guys. I don't think so anymore. That were the good guys. Yeah. I think that, I think the intent of most of our soldiers, the intent of most of the people in America is different than the intent of those at the CIA, NSA, now FBI. It's just different from the people in Washington, the higher ups in Washington. I think they are on the wrong side. They are no longer on the side of the American people. So I have a really hard time. You know, it's weird is I've had. an easier time to say the Pledge of Allegiance. I used to have a problem.
Starting point is 01:38:57 I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. It's always bothered me. The flag, only because it's a Woodrow Wilson FDR thing. It is always, it's a symbol. But I have concentrated on and the Republic for which it stands. Right. And that has become more and more important to me. the Republic.
Starting point is 01:39:23 I fly the flag differently. I used to fly the flag as a as a sign. Yeah, I love America. Now I almost fly it mentally in defense of the Republic as almost a symbol of rebellion in my life. I believe in the Republic for which that stands. where I never would have thought that way. Never. I always gave people, you know, 25 years ago.
Starting point is 01:39:58 I gave everybody the benefit of the doubt. We all kind of think alike. That was hard. That was really hard when I least woke up and went, I think they're working against us. I think I don't even know how long this has gone on. I think we're actually, we've been conned for a very long time. Those principles that we all thought we had?
Starting point is 01:40:24 No, the elites don't have those principles. That's a big awakening for sure. I always think of the follow-up question, because you said, you know, I don't know if we're the good guys anymore. But the follow-up question of that I always have is as compared to what. Okay. So can we go in there? Let's give me one minute. I want to tell you about Goldline.
Starting point is 01:40:41 J.P. Morgan's latest forecast spells significant trouble. They're sounding the alarm on an 8% nose dive in the S&P. 500. That's not a dip. That is a looming financial cliff that needs to be taken seriously. Please, please, do your homework on gold or silver. Find out why it's where everyone returns. Find out why Russia and China and the BRICS nations are gobbling up gold right now. I am shocked that gold is only at, what, 2, 2100, somewhere in that area right now. I'm shocked. I don't want it to continue to go up because I don't look at it as an investment.
Starting point is 01:41:26 I look at it as a gauge and a hedge against insanity. But as gold goes up, that means the world is more and more unstable. The reason why China and everybody else is buying gold is because they know money eventually is going to change and become worthless. And the world always goes back to gold. Please do your own homework. Right now, if you purchase a box of 250 of the new Lincoln quarter ounce gold coins, you're going to receive a one ounce gold legal tender bar card at no additional cost. It's a gold legal tender bar card.
Starting point is 01:42:02 That is $2,500 in value in and of itself. You're getting two of the most famous designs with gold line. It's not just an investment. It's embracing a legacy. get the Lincoln coin that I designed right now. Call 866 Goldline. 866 Goldline and claim your share of American greatness at goldline.com.
Starting point is 01:42:24 866 Goldline. 10 seconds. Station ID. So you said you're not as sure that we're the good guys anymore, but as compared to what? The people. I thought, because this is what a republic is, a democracy is one man, one vote.
Starting point is 01:42:52 And then after that, the government has all the power and it no longer has to represent because it's not a republic. It's not a representative, a body. But we are. And I always thought they're bad guys and good guys, but for the most part, they represent the people. When I was down in Houston, when was it, last week doing this thing on illegal immigration and a place called Colony Ridge. We're making this documentary. It's coming out in January, and I'm there.
Starting point is 01:43:30 And one thing is consistently said by everyone, no matter if they agreed with each other or not. They all said one thing. Who's representing me? Who's coming to my defense? Who's standing there saying, this can't happen. This is wrong. There's nobody. and then they followed it with a terrifying remark.
Starting point is 01:43:56 Every single one of them, there's too much money to be made here. They're all on the take. Now, I don't know if they are or not. We, as of yet, have not found any evidence that anybody's on the take. There is money being exchanged. You know, $1.4 million went to the governor of Texas, but did he do anything because of that?
Starting point is 01:44:22 So far, I don't have any evidence, but there is a lot of money sloshing around. Who's representing you? You know, the guy in Argentina, is it Malay? Is that how you say his name? This guy is, I think he's remarkable. I don't know if you've been following what he's been doing, but he is, his policies are called the chainsaw policies. I love this.
Starting point is 01:45:01 He says the country is out of control. It no longer represents the average person. So he's not going to grow the size of government. He took it from 18 departments. He took that down to nine. I want to tell you what he did in a little more detail here in a few minutes. But he took it down to nine. He cut the government's size in half.
Starting point is 01:45:25 Then he said, that's not enough. I got to get rid of the central bank because the central bank is dealing for them and the banks, not for you. This guy actually, I think, means it. And he's not gaining power for himself because he's reducing the size of the government. When the government is gigantic, by the way, we're about to hit a record this month of of 23 million Americans working for the federal government. That's a lot of votes. It's a lot of votes.
Starting point is 01:45:57 23 million Americans. That's a record. When you have this giant bureaucracy that can have their fingers in everything you do, including the mud puddles on your property, there's a problem. There's a real problem because that government, is working against you in most cases. They'll say, you know, it's for the good of all.
Starting point is 01:46:25 Well, that's collective. That's collective, not individual. And there is a huge difference. In our country, we're supposed to be about the individual, the character and the attributes and the merits of the individual. Once the government lose sight of the individual, they're no longer the good guy. they're no longer the good guy.

Welcome to the Blenbeck program. We were just talking about Argentina's new libertarian president. You know, Sunday he took office and took, a chainsaw to government spending and what he calls the country's political cast by signing executive orders to cut the number of government ministries from 18 to 9. Now, you think you have bad
Starting point is 01:48:46 inflation. Argentina has 143% annual inflation. That means prices are 143% higher than they were the year before. That is awful. And he said, we're going to stop the bleeding here with a chainsaw plan. He said also that they would accept or adopt the U.S. dollar and shut down Argentina's central bank because he says that's the biggest problem. So here's what he said. Ministry of tourism and sports out. Ministry of culture out. These are like departments. Department of environment and sustainable development out. Department of women, genders and diversity, out. Ministry of Public Works out. He said the thievery of politics is over. Long live freedom, damn it. We don't have a margin for sterile discussions. Our country demands action and immediate action.
Starting point is 01:49:52 The political class left the country at the brink of its biggest crisis in history. We don't desire the hard decisions that we'll need to be made in the coming weeks, but they didn't leave us any options. There's a guy who loves his country, is trying to fix it, answering to the people, not to the elites. And then let's go to the University of Wisconsin. The board voted nine to eight, University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents, nine to eight, they rejected an $800 million deal with the Wisconsin State Legislature, choosing instead to keep expanding diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. And hiring staff and admitting students based on DEI standards, not merit. So what they said is they're not, they don't want the $800 million in funding.
Starting point is 01:50:49 They don't want raises for every one of their 39,000 employees. They want DEI. And it's not expanding it all their, they're not. reducing it. All they said was we want to freeze on hiring DEI coordinators for three years. And we want to transition some of these positions into colorblind student success roles. So in other words, merit-based hiring for students, they couldn't take it. Now, who are they listening to? Are they listening to the special interests or are they listening to the average American? because the average American is concerned about the education of their children, which falls right into, if my children don't have it any better than I did, then the country's not going to be better than I did. They're going to have bigger problems. The country could fall. I mean, who is fighting for America and who is trying to destroy it?
Starting point is 01:51:51 It's a great question. And I think the answer is getting clearer. and clear, isn't it? Oh, I think it is. There is a new update to the story we've been talking about what for now two weeks when it comes to the Harvard and what was it, Harvard Penn and MIT. This, this, this, this, uh, testimony they gave. Yeah, the presidents of those universities coming out and saying, you know, okay, so yes, they were, they were calling for, uh, you know, the death to Jews and genocide for Jews. But I mean, we don't want to stop freedom speech. Right. Right. Which is. hilarious because they absolutely want to stop freedom of speech on so many other issues. So the Penn president had to step down. She's gone already. Now they were going after the Harvard one after all of this happened. And the board agreed to review her presidency and whether she should remain in the presidency. And Harvard and the university board has unanimously supported her.
Starting point is 01:52:54 It's Claudine Gay as her name. They called her the right leader to help our community. community heal. Now, there's two things going on here. One was, hey, I noticed you said that calling for the genocide of Jews was not against your code of conduct. That whole controversy we've covered in pretty great detail. The other controversy that has been bubbling up for a while now is her accusations of plagiarism, that she's been plagiarizing and has been for years and years and years and years. And there's four instances, I think, that I believe it was the Washington Free Beacon initially, who,
Starting point is 01:53:28 found this and the Harvard Crimson has written about this and did say it does appear that some of these examples do violate the plagiarism policy of Harvard. Now of course the board said the exact opposite. They said we found no violations of this at all. But apparently, deny your eyes. Now there's even more and more and more coming here. Now they believe this is this is from Chris Aaron Sabariam who's been, I think on he's been on my show for sure I think he's been on the show too.
Starting point is 01:54:01 But he says, Chris Rufo's examples are just the tip of the iceberg in four articles published between 1993 and 2017 including her dissertation, gay paraphrased or quoted almost 20 authors
Starting point is 01:54:13 without proper attribution in some cases lifting entire paragraphs verbatim. Wow. This is... That is absolutely. It's absolutely unquestionable.
Starting point is 01:54:24 Absolutely plagiarism. Now Harvard... You can do that, but you have to quote it. Yeah, you quote it, right? And you cite it. Now, Harvard says there was no violation, which is incredibly, it's ridiculous. But then also is changing four of the articles to update it and put in citations for the work, which, again, if it's not a problem, why are you doing that? Why are you changing it, right?
Starting point is 01:54:46 If it was totally fine. To me, now, you know, I have maybe a weird stance on this, but to me, it's like maybe the allowing the, genocide tacos enough. Maybe the plagiarism wasn't even necessary to remove her. Maybe thinking... Well, that's crazy. I know. It's a weird thing.
Starting point is 01:55:05 Like, maybe calling for the entire genocide of all Jews, you know, in allowing that on campus and saying, okay, well, that's not really a violation of our code of conduct. Maybe that's enough to want to remove the person. But the point here, though, Glenn, is... And it's interesting because, you know, the lady at Penn, white lady, stepped down and was pressure out almost immediately. Can you do that to someone who's blatantly a DEI hire? Right?
Starting point is 01:55:32 Like, once you put someone in that role, how are you going to, can you fire them? They're oppressed. You're oppressing them by trying to fire them. You're oppressing them by holding them accountable for plagiarism. Correct. Right? Like, they've, you know, these groups, these intersectional groups have been so oppressed for so long.
Starting point is 01:55:51 Well, if they had to plagiarize, it's the same way they talk about Hamas. Right. Well, you can't judge them with your white Western rules when it comes to rape as a weapon of war. I mean, they're in an open air prison after all. They go down these roads all the time. So, I mean, is it even possible if you make one of these decisions and put a DEI person in front of your organization, can you even fire them? So why, what is, what does this cause all the way down to the bottom? What is this cause? I mean, this is, I said this beginning in probably 2010.
Starting point is 01:56:29 Chaos is going to be the operative word in the next 10 years. Chaos. And anyone who is participating in chaos or causing chaos, you need to get as far away from as you possibly can because that will be the tool that destroys us. It's chaos, right? Everything that DEI does is cause chaos to the system. How do you answer that question you just asked?
Starting point is 01:56:56 You can't. You can't. Because if you try to fire somebody who is oppressed, then you become the oppressor, even though that person is doing something they shouldn't be doing, it's chaos, right? Listen to this story. Recent Chinese cyber attacks aimed to cause chaos in the U.S. You and I know right now, and this, again, is one of the real. reasons why I know you have very few people in Congress, in the Senate, and the administration,
Starting point is 01:57:29 and quite honestly, in the entire 23 million workforce of the federal government that actually care about America. Hacks are being made with an intention towards some future action rather than disrupting systems in the moment. They suggest now that the People's Liberation our army of China is testing and the United States capabilities in case hostilities break out over Taiwan. I can guarantee you if we have another four years of this, we don't make it, but if we do, Taiwan will be taken by China and there's nothing we can do about it. And if we try, what are they going to do?
Starting point is 01:58:20 Listen to this. Chinese have attempted to compromise critical infrastructure and pre-position themselves to be able to disrupt or destroy that critical infrastructure in the event of a conflict to either prevent the United States from being able to project power into Asia or cause societal chaos inside the United States to affect our decision-making around a crisis. That is a significant change from the Chinese cyber activity from seven to ten years ago that was focused primarily on political and economic espionage. They have hacked the water utilities in Hawaii, at least one oil and gas pipeline in America. They have broken into Texas independent power grid. They are looking at targets like our water and our power to shut it down so the American, and people will go, enough, enough, enough, leave China alone. Cause chaos.
Starting point is 01:59:24 So what are we going to do? Because I have come to the point to where my new slogan, whenever I get frustrated, is, that's going to be interesting to see how that works out. Okay? But that's not just giving in. Huh. Wow, the government's not doing anything about China. It's going to be interesting to see how that all works.
Starting point is 01:59:45 works out, isn't it? That's defeatist. Saying that as part one is recognizing the things you can change and not change. But what follows that is, I'm going to get my ass in gear, make sure I have access to power and water and everything else. Because this government is, to say it's representative of the American people is a lie. And how do I know that? Because we gather Republicans and Democrats all the time, all across America, and we're not as divided as they say we are. What we are all looking at and some just refuse to speak out about it is the chaos on our streets. The chaos. Most of the people in Oregon, most of them know.
Starting point is 02:00:41 This is insanity. most of the people in Seattle, and maybe not Seattle proper, but the rest of the state, I'm convinced that they at least know there's a problem here. And certainly in the red part of the nation and the red part of each of our states, we do know that, and our neighbors know that. Nobody's doing anything about it,
Starting point is 02:01:08 because there is no representative government. So what do you need to represent yourself, your family, your neighborhood? That's what you need. It is critical in the next year because I honestly can tell you for the first time in my career of almost 50 years. I can't tell you what America is even going to look like, even if the America that we all conjure right now, I'm not sure that even exists in that form 12 months from now. Don't know. Think of all the scenarios that could happen just with the election.
Starting point is 02:01:49 You're right on the, you should be focusing more on our, you know, your local. And I mean, I don't mean local like your township. I mean, more like your family and your street. I mean, you need to be, keep that under control. I have said for a long time, when it happens, where you are is where you will be. if we if something happens and China decides to go on infrastructure they collapse the electrical grid or shut it down for a while water etc etc absolute chaos and you're not going any place you're not flying to your cabin you're not you're not getting out of the cities you will be there
Starting point is 02:02:28 that's where you'll be so make your decision where you want to be and be there because it's all going to come back to you yeah it really will So think about this for the next year. Just we go into the presidential stuff for a minute. What way does this go where everything's fine? Like what way does this go where? I don't mean everything's fine as far as policy. I mean, as far as like there isn't chaos in the streets.
Starting point is 02:02:55 Like Donald Trump loses. I think there's going to be people who are going to think it's stolen and look what they're doing. Donald Trump wins. The left is going to do that times 10, right? you know, Donald Trump somehow loses the primary or is in prison. Can you imagine what happens then? No. I mean, I...
Starting point is 02:03:16 And I don't even think you've begun to scratch the surface of that, honestly. Just with those two candidates, how does it end? I don't even think you've even hit all the options. Let me hit a couple of more here in a second. First, let me tell you about Joseph wrote in about his dog's experience with Rough Greens. He says, my beagle is 17 years old, was sleeping 20 hours a day, was enacted, I was afraid he was going to die soon. Boy, this sounds like my family talking about me.
Starting point is 02:03:41 I just sit around for, anyway, 20 days later, I'm amazed. He's wagging his tail again. I know he's happier. He's eating well and more active. Thank you for letting me know and giving my good buddy, giving him back to me again. Thank you, Rough Greens. Joe, that sounds wonderful.

Starting point is 02:05:44 Think about he's degrading at the same speed he already is and America figures out, oh dear, Lord, if we elect him, Kamala Harris is going to be our president. Or Biden figures that out in the Democratic Party and they're like, we got to switch that before the election. Chaos.
