We will not gloat today. We will not gloat today. No, no, no, no. I want to be serious and address these things as serious issues just like American financing. American financing right now. You can get a consolidation loan. You could get a mortgage. You could probably, you know, get somebody on the phone that might gloat today.

But that won't be us. Won't be us. And you know what? I doubt it would be American financing, too. they would not be gloating today. Anyway, American Financing, 800, 906, 2440, Americanfinancing.net, Americanfinancing.net. I want you to go there. Today is the big financial day at COP 26, which sounds like a bad TV show, but over in Glasgow. And the financial stuff is coming our way. and you need to be prepared.

So please, if you're doing anything financially, you don't want to save money, or get a loan, consolidation, or financing. Americanfinancing.net, 800906, 2440. America, you sick, twisted. You know what? I don't even want to start with that kind of an attitude. I don't want to even,

there will be no gloating on today's broadcast. None, none whatsoever. We are here just to tell you the fact. and certainly not to gloat over what happened last night. And so it won't happen on this program. No, no, I hear you. You want it. But I am not your trained little monkey that is just going to do another gloat fest.

No, it won't happen. We begin in 60 seconds. So if you've ever had to go through the process of buying or selling a home and your real estate agent, you know, this experience was, you know, know about as fun and useful as rolling through a patch of cactus, which, hey, I mean, I know it's probably cacti if you're a snob, but, you know, that's not a lot of fun. You need somebody who is going to actually find the right house for you. They're going to get the right deal for you. It's a real estate agent that you can trust.

That's why I call my company, real estate agents. I trust.com. Oh, my gosh. The name kind of says it all. Real estate agents. I trust.com. Go there. Go there now.

Real estate agents. itrust.com. No, no. No. No, Sarah. No. Stop right now. No, we are not going to gloat, are we, Stu?

Of course not. Of course not. That would be... It's all about sportsmanship in a moment like this. Thank you. Thank you. You know, both sides fought a good battle. Yeah.

They both tried their hardest. Yeah, we're not. Both sides should be respected. Right. And at the end of the day, you have to take a step back and say, we need to come together. Right. And someone gloating about a win would be horrible. Now, would work against that.

Stu and I have promised that we will not gloat. Unfortunately, Pat. Pat just walked in. Oh, hey Pat. And Pat has not made the promise, you know, to not float. So, oh, wait. Start over. Stop just a second.

I mean, no, you're not going to do it either, huh? No, you know, I haven't really made that promise. So I could, but I... Okay. You want to play it straight, too. We want to... I mean, let's, let's, let's just... Let's go over some of this.

It looks like, looks like Terry McCullough has lost the state of Virginia. So sad. Oh, wait. Yonkin kick McCollops ass. Glad Yonkin kicked McCallelof. It's a signal to President dementia.

It's a sign to bring a job. All right, all right. We're not going to do that. We're not. We're not going to do that. Not doing that. No, we're not. That's not, that's for evil shows.

It's like a patria unleashed. It is. It's not appropriate here. You're calling your own show. It's evil. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, we could look at winsome seers,

the conservative Republican, who will be Virginia's next lieutenant governor. White supremacist. Of course, she's a white supremacist. Also, the first woman of color in the office of in their 400 year history of Virginia. First one. Wow.

Yeah. Wow. Amazing. Yeah. Didn't know that? No. Yeah. And we will not gloat.

No. About that. All right. That's. That's wrong. That's wrong. It is. I'm glad you guys aren't doing that.

It shows a certain amount of maturity. Thank you. Well, we have grown as a show. We have grown as a show. So we got that going on. And then New Jersey. Too close to call. Yeah.

Unfortunately. He's behind now and it looks like they're stealing the election now in Jersey. Is that what happens? They're not going to do that in Virginia. They're only going to do it in New Jersey today. We can easily, you know. They've, why would this be on the air today? What?

Why would we be listening to this, of all things, in the world? Well, I want to give them fair shake. I want to... All right, would it be better if it was the Soviet national anthem? Honestly, yes. Okay. The Soviet anthem is fantastic. It's very stirring.

It's a great anthem. So let's go ahead and, you know, give them the credit. The credit is due. Yeah, yeah. Well, we don't know. That one's still not over, but... I will say the outstanding vote is all in blue counties, so it's going to... be tough for them. It's going to be really close. I mean, Biden won that by 16. Yeah. And

yeah, it's this close here. Crazy. Crazy. Yeah. Crazy. People do not like this administration. No. And I think this is a clear signal. I think. Yeah, I think it is. New Jersey, almost going right? You think so. Wow. I've missed that. I have missed that. I have missed that. I didn't. No wonder you're not gloating. Well, I did. I have to find this. You ready for this one? I love this account. This is from New York Magazine. Biden's Build Back Better Bill, a package of social welfare program and climate investments has fared little better than his overall approval rating. They find it 25% of Americans believe the legislation would help people like them, while 32% plurality. say it will hurt them. The remaining respondents say they don't know enough about the president's top priority to have an opinion. So what is what's happening? They say the party has just lost Virginia, a state went for Biden for 10 points.

The question is, the question is, is it Joe Biden's fault? There is another hypothesis. that Biden's woes derive primarily from media distortions. Yes. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. Yeah. The media is so against the Democrats.

That's what's happening. Keep you. Yes. And yes, Democrats, that's what it was. It is. The media is so against you. If you just keep doing the things you're doing, right. This is going to work out for you in the end.

Okay. So listen, they're saying that this, this is backed up by two political and economic developments that make this make sense. One, by many reasonable metrics, the political and economic situation

is fairly good. Yes. You should continue what you're doing. Right, right. It's fairly good when you look at that. The media environment... You ready? Two, the media environment is structurally biased against Democrats.

What? Due to the right wing media's strength and the mainstream media's tendency to drive down approval of the in-party power. Who wrote that? Some socialist, I'm sure. Oh, my God. I mean, is this crazy? That's unreal. So they're saying that because people don't know the truth, because of the mainstream media is being driven by.

The Republicans. Yeah. Oh, absolutely. It's not that you're totally out of touch with the everyday person. No. It's that the media isn't on your side enough. Exactly right. That's the lesson you should take from this.

When you look at the ratings of the left on, you know, MSNBC and CNN, it is true now. Nobody believes them. Nobody believes them. Look how hard they work to say CRT is. true that this is all racist nonsense coming from racist parents. Yeah, they claimed it wasn't, it doesn't exist in Virginia schools at all. Right. Right. Look at how they're, they're, they're claiming that, you know, the, the situation in the country, he's added more jobs than any president ever. Well, yeah, because no one was working when he was elected. So, right. No one was

working. It's a pandemic, guys. Right. Remember you guys were telling us, none of our businesses could be open. So I don't think bragging about how many jobs you've added is really much of anything. Listen to this. Of course, conservative media did not become a cultural force in just a past three months. So it can't be uniquely responsible for the turn in public opinion against Biden. Or at all. What has predictably changed is the mainstream media's posture towards the president. This was most overt in its coverage of Afghanistan withdrawal. When the mainstream, media subjective Biden to weeks of relentlessly and in my view unjustifiably negative coverage. Yes, those poor babies.

They did what did they do wrong there? What? I don't know. I mean, Jen Saki told us nothing went wrong. Exactly right. It could not be seen as anything other than a success. And yet the media did that. He couldn't have thought.

Biden said he couldn't have thought of a way it could have gone any better. It's never gone any better. It's never gone any better. It's never gone any better. That way. Have you ever seen a war occur? It always ends the same way. You leave thousands of your citizens to die in the war zone.

And leave them billions of dollars in equipment. Yeah, that's what you do. Yes, you give them all the fancy equipment, all the stuff that they've been trying to get all this time. Do you remember in 1946 with the Nazi resurgence in Germany? Yes. It was crazy. They all came back in and took over again. Oh, wait.

So, wait a minute. So here's MSNBC. last night, they had a full meltdown. I want to play this. And if everyone but, well, Stu and Pat can keep your headphones on, I want everyone else in the audience not to listen for about 20 seconds. And we will double the amount of people that have heard this from MSNBC. Here it is.

I think we know the answer to some of this. I watched Glenn Yonkin's interviews on Fox News. and he did nothing that Claire's, he did not. This is the anchor, by the way. He worshipped at the altar of Donald Trump on Fox News. He flew an insurrection flag at his rallies. He simply didn't, he played dumb about a Zoom rally. He did not really put much distance between himself and Donald Trump on the big lie or the deadly insurrection in which police officers were maimed by flagpole.

Keep doing this. I think that the real ominous thing is a winning strategy for you guys, do it. is that critical race theory, which isn't real. No, not real. The suburbs. Wow. 15 points. Yeah.

To the Trump insurrection endorsed Republican. What do Democrats do about that? Great question. Great question. And really balanced. Yeah. You know, that's a fascinating one. Wow.

They should continue down this same road for the 2022 election. Can I tell you something? It's working, guys. It scares me. It scares me. Oh, I mean, yes, it's scared. me too. I mean, I mean, Democrats might win all the races. Oh, it goes so well for them next year. Yeah. They need this strategy. They really do. I hope they don't continue to do that. That's exactly

what they're going to do. I like that we've gone. They don't, they never learn because they are in a bubble. They live in this place where everyone agrees with them. Every single person agrees with them. And so they don't change. They don't learn. They didn't learn in 20. 2016, they don't learn now. And people are, they, they, they, I think they actually think that if they say it enough, they'll convince people that it's true. And that was Nicole Wallace, by the way, who was a former Republican. It's not even like their Democrat.

That's, that's their Republican saying. Wow. I'm fascinated too by understanding that not only apparently's critical race theory not being taught in school, it now isn't real. like all of these colleges and universities that have departments set up to study it, it's not even real at all. What are they doing with their time? Well, it's not as real as the insurrection flag.

Oh, yeah. No, you do that. He flies out everywhere he goes. Hang on just a second. I just need to take a break for this. Okay. All right. President dementia.

What's the last part? Well, you missed it because we won't be doing that again. No. Gosh, that would be terrible. We're telling you today what not to do in your life. We are gloating here so that you understand that's bad to do. No. Bad.

Don't do that today. Maybe that's what MSNBC is doing. Maybe. Maybe. Go away. Go away. Go. Let me tell you about relief factor.

Imagine waking up in the morning and bouncing out of bed, ready to face the day, and anything that the day has to offer. By the way, I saw the Rolling Stones last night here in Dallas. Really? Yeah, you didn't know they were here in town?

No. Yeah. Oh, I wish I would have told you. Yeah, I wish I would have too. Yeah. I was looking for people to go. No, really? Were you dumping tickets?

Dump and tickets. No, Rafe. said to me a few weeks ago, he's like, hey, dad, the Rolling Stones are coming. I'm like, the Rolling Stones. You want to see the Rolling Stones? My son, 17. And he said, painted black. And I'm like, you're a fan of the Rolling Stones? Wow. And it was a surprisingly young crowd. I mean, I went to ELO, C.EO. And it was like, no more. They were good, though. They were great. But it was an older audience. Yeah. This was a shocking young audience. Shocking.

He's, how old do you think he is? What, Mick? Yeah. I think Jagger's 77? 79. 79. 79. And he sounds exactly the same.

He's, I mean, he's in incredible shape. Everybody else is like, yeah, but. That's good? Unbelievable. Yeah. Unbelievable. I need a little relief factor.

He's probably, he was probably with some 20 year old last night. Anyway, relief factor. If your body is experiencing pain, you don't have to live that way. Apparently, if you do a lot of drugs in the 60s, you're fine later. It's relief factor.com. That's relief factor.com. It's not a drug. It reduces inflammation.

It hits you in three different ways. It was developed by doctors. Try it for three weeks. see if it works for you. It's worked for me. I've got my life back. Relieffactor.com, 800, 5,883,884. Relieffactor.com, 800, 5803-84. 10 seconds. Station ID. Well, let's look at the school boards. School boards around the country. Conservatives now have a majority of the Carroll Independent School District in the Dallas suburb of South Lake, where the parents previously led an electoral

revolt against racial equity. This one is amazing too for another reason, Glenn, because this seat was the seat that now turns the school board against the CRT stuff that was being floated there. And in the meantime, since this revolt happened, NBC News did this big documentary and podcast series about how terribly racist this town is. Of course, it's complete nonsense. Unbelievable. They have like a couple of incidents from 10 years ago where like a teenager said a racial slur.

And that's like their whole case about this town being racist. What they were doing was the teenage girls were singing a rap song. Yeah. The lyrics from a rap song. Yeah. It's completely ridiculous. But the best part about this is NBC has dumped. I don't know how much money in advertising how bad this particular town in Texas is because they're so racisty.

And the guy. To see? Yeah. They're super racist. The guy who wants. Yesterday for the school board to turn the school board. Yes. Say it.

Is an NBC sales executive. He actually works for NBC. Well, that's so great. That is so great. I don't think he works for them now. He might not after today. Three challengers who oppose school COVID masks mandates, defeated incumbents in Iowa on the Johnson School Board.

they were backed by 1776 action. They're trying to say here that it's dark money. Candidates who favored a quicker return in-person instruction, Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, the school board elections went towards the Republicans. In Douglas County outside of Denver, the conservative vote for kids first, a slate of four candidates,

leading comfortably yet this morning. and in the Olith, I guess, and Blue Valley in Kansas, it looks like the conservative newcomers that campaigned for parent choice and against mask mandates, CRT and against gender issues in schools were winning last night as well. So that CRT thing, well, now we know it really doesn't exist, at least in those areas. Minneapolis, the voters there, rejected the proposal to replace the police department with something else that, well, I mean, something.

It'll be something else. Voters opposed the amendment by a 12 point margin. Remarkable. Because that one, that one early on looked like it might get through. And they turned, they apparently did not want to defund the police as much as they thought they did. Correct. Correct. Also, Buffalo, New York.

This one's amazing. The mayoral candidate and Democratic socialist India Walton appears to have lost her race with an unusual right-in candidate. Yeah. A mayor, mayor, the mayor lost the primary and then decided to try to run as an independent, couldn't get on the ballot, then said, all right, I'll run as a write-on, a write-in candidate, and beat the Democratic Socialist. One.

Wow. As a write-in candidate. Yeah. That's pretty remarkable. She was self-avowed socialist. Yeah, Democratic Socialists. And AOC went up. All of the big, you know, Chuck Schumer,

everybody big was up there campaigning for an, and a write-in candidate. A write-in candidate. One. Wait until you hear what happened in Seattle. I don't think it was a good night for Democrats and progressives. New. All right. Thanksgiving.

There is nothing better than being surrounded by family and friends who have made food. I mean, amazing food and desserts. Now, if you're somebody who is trying to watch your waistline, because I know I am, I mean, you do not get a body like this just through happenstance. You have to work on it.

If you want to extend your glowed fest today, you got to listen to the podcast of Pat Gray Unleash is available as well on Blaze TV, blazesttv.com slash glen. From selinaZito.com is the one and only Selena Zito. Welcome to the program, Selena. How are you? Good morning, Jen. You, uh, looks like you, uh, called it again. Well, I think if you're trying to understand an election and you're trying to understand a sort of sentiments and how granular voting can be impersonal for people, is to literally go to them and listen to them, listen to what they're talking about. They may not always tell you who they're voting for, but they will tell you what issues are important to them.

And if you understand human behavior, you can start to understand that when something is changing. So it was a very good night last night for anyone other than progressive socialists. Right. Even in San Francisco and Seattle, the socialist did poorly. And then there were things like the truck. driver who had just had enough in New Jersey, spent less than $200 on his campaign, and looks like he just beat the state Senate president, a Democrat. I know.

I mean, that's fantastic. What a great story. His name is Edward Durr. Yeah, absolutely. Look, if you strike accord with voters, if you understand what their concerns are, if you are deeply rooted to the community as they are, you're going to capture their imagination. People that are successful in governing are people that are aspirational, people who are able to make people believe they are part of something bigger than themselves.

And that, if you listen to Glenn Yonkin, if you listen to Jason Mayerres, and if you listen to the House of Delegate candidates that were conservatives, they all had that message in various different ways. They understood the people and what the people wanted and what the people were longing for. And that is what I wrote about in my book, The Great Revolt. I looked at these sort of different coalition or different archetypes of voters who really didn't have a lot in common, except they're rooted in this to community and their sort of unhappiness with our cultural curators who run our businesses, our sports entities, our institutions, academia, and Hollywood.

And that sense of not being respected by those institutions is what drew them together. That aspiration was incredibly important in this election. and I think that the Democrats really failed because they don't know how to run unless Trump is on the ticket. It was never about Donald Trump. Voters, whether you loved him or liked him or hated him, they have moved on. Voters don't act in the way of looking through the rearview mirror. They're always forward looking, especially in local elections, because the roads, the bridges, the education, taxation, inflation, and economic development are

constantly on their minds. And that's sort of what people miss. And I want to also point out to your listeners, two of the other sort of interesting races for Democrats was the race for mayor of Buffalo. Were you familiar with that? Yes. Yes. And the referendum on policing in Minneapolis, all these strident or woke sort of platforms and positions failed miserably because people want police to protect them. They don't want a socialist to run their city because mayors are supposed to be good managers. They're not supposed to be ideologues.

And so, you know, and Democrats and the media. really failed to grasp what voters were so displeased with. And they focused too much on Trump and they focus too much on every time someone said something they didn't like, that person was a racist. I mean, people just get tired of that. So is this a rejection? I mean, I'm trying to put together all. of the pieces.

And I think there's lots of reasons. And you've named most of them. But there is a, there is this feeling that the left is elitist. They have their own language. And most of the times they're talking, you know, it's latinx. It's latinx.

Nobody says latinx. Oh, I mean. How you say that? I didn't even know how you said it. I just looked at it and was like, I don't know what that word is. Yeah. It's latinx.

And which I think is so New Jersey. It doesn't it sound like Tony Soprano? Hey, I got a little tink so, eh, you know. But, you know, they have their own language. And I think it is off-putting to a lot of people. They just feel this elitism coming at them. Is it this plus the agenda that we've seen in Washington? you know, plus the economy.

What is the, what does it say? Let's start here. What does it say about Joe Biden? Anything? Here, yes. Here's the, if you want one word to describe this election cycle, I would use the word overreach. And it is an overreach on policy.

It's an overreach on elitism. It's an overreach in believing that you were sent to Washington with a mandate. And you certainly weren't because you. You barely won. You don't have a majority in the Senate, and you barely have a majority in the House. Everything is about overreach. Same. And I would add on overreach on COVID.

Overreach on mandates. Yes. Overreach on on. Everything. Yeah. It's overreach. That is the best word. And voters always want to either put the breaks on that or correct it.

If they're putting the brakes on it, then you will only see it in a, handful of elections because Democrats will then get the message. But if they want to correct it, that means you have new people in the conservative coalition. I would argue that is the direction that this is going because of the influx of blue-collar voters into the conservative movement. Yes. That aren't just white. They're black. They're Hispanic. They're Asian. I mean, they lost a lot of their black and Hispanic vote in Virginia. I mean, that should be very concerning to the Democrats.

But, you know, I have been punishing myself all morning and listening and watching on social media, but also on MSNBC and CNN, watching the reaction and their belief as to what went wrong. And I'm just, I shouldn't be stunned, but I'm stunned. And they think, yeah, they think, well, if only we would have passed it $3 trillion. I'm like, no, no voter wanted that. Voters wanted a regular sort of good infrastructure bill that keeps the roads and bridges and creates more broadband. That's what voters wants and also to keep their water clean. They do not want social engineering and environmental justice and criminal justice and free everything. voters never voted for that.

Okay, so you're a student of history enough to be able to, I think, answer this with some backing. In 1990, this is the mood. What we're feeling right now, I think, is the mood that was happening in 1919. Wilson went crazy and overreach like crazy. but what he did is when people started rejecting him, he said, I got to go out on the road. I've got to, they're just too stupid to get it. I haven't made enough speeches for them to get it. I think that's what they're going to do this time around, which led to 10 years of the Republicans

and the progressives being banished until they cloaked themselves again and shuffled things up. are they going to go stronger? Are they going to cloak themselves? What do you think is coming? They're too arrogant to cloak themselves. They do not believe that they are at fault for this happening. They do believe the voters are stupid. The same voters that they praised in 2020 have now become the voters of stupid.

And that's sort of the big hurdle that they have shown no willingness to try to tackle. So they're just going to double down. They're going to go out and scold voters about not knowing, not understanding, not believing that they know better and they're going to fix their lives. People don't want their lives fixed. They want to be able to achieve whatever they want to achieve on their own. They want that sense of earning the next step, earning the next step,

earning the next milestone that they are able to achieve and even they also want to learn how to fail. That's an innate thing in the American DNA that the Democrats

have been trying to squash for the past 12 years. So here's what's frightening about all of this. They become more and more arrogant and they are so self-isolated that they convince each other that they are right

and that everybody else is stupid. And this is a group of people where you've got the president saying, my patience is wearing thin. This is a group of people that will begin to really punish, not just scold, but to find ways to really punish people. Yeah. Well, in that effort, they are going to Luke's constituencies that they never should lose, you know, on paper. People are not, you know, I called this cycle way back in January two days after Biden was sworn in and just started eliminating people's jobs on the pipeline. I said, there is going to be a great awakening. Here's what people missed in 2020.

While everyone focused on the Democrats wins, slim as they were, they missed the red wave that had already started down ballot. people just in Pennsylvania alone rejected wokeness in and Republicans won in state senate seats in places that have been reliably Democrat for decades and no one paid attention to those results but I understood that this sort of great awakening was already in flux it was it started to sort of poke up during the first few days after the inauguration, but I will tell you the most pivotal thing that happened for Democrats,

and I don't think people understand this, is how is Afghanistan. And we talked about this yesterday. That, that, that negligence, that negligence, and that is the key word,

that negligence is what made people stop and say, wait, what? This is not what I bought into. I did want us to be out of Afghanistan. However, I did not want it at the, at the cost of people's lives. I did not want it as the cost of our reputation and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, are they going to be jammed through, or Do you see the sane Democrats say, I'm no way. No way am I getting on board with that? See, I have always thought that this second bill wasn't going to pass.

And I still think that it's not going to. I think the infrastructure, the bipartisan infrastructure bill does pass. And I think that's the end of that. That is huge. That is huge. Selena, thank you so much for talking to us. You can follow her writing. She is really good.

She's great with historic perspective as well, if you're not familiar with her. Salinasito.com. Salida Zito.com. Thanks, Selena. That's an amazing thing. I honestly did not. You know, you hope for those things to happen. That bill being stopped, but I mean, this is the type of message that needed to be sent for it to happen.

This is the Glenn Beck program. I am so thrilled. coming up in just a few minutes to have a new friend of mine, Jim Lentz. He is the former CEO of Toyota North America. He is also the former chief executive officer for, or no, sorry, the chief operating officer for Toyota Motor Corporation in Japan. The guy has been responsible for so much, including moving Toyota from California to Plano, Texas. But we were having dinner recently, and I just asked him to explain the problem with the supply chain and what it means and how long is it going to take to fix it.

And he just has real knowledge of the supply chain and can explain it in such a way that just boggled my mind. I understood it, but holy cow, it is much more than anybody really thinks. he's coming in in just a few minutes. Also continued updates on what is happening with last night's election. This is the Glenn Beck program. Thank you so much. Sometimes the most important issues are the most complicated. Take finding insurance.

Whether it's for your car or your home, endless companies and coverage options that you need to consider. And, you know, you want to just talk to some real people.

Save time and money in minutes. Compare quotes for free at

the zebra.com slash Beck. That's the zebra dot com slash Beck. We're going to cover the election here for a couple of minutes and then we're going to go into one of the main issues and that is the economy with a guy who

has given me an entirely new perspective on the supply chain. Next. I will tell you right now the one thing we are not going to do is gloat. We're not right still? we are absolutely not that we are definitely not gloating today we're above that yeah oh man the program the program begins in 60 seconds i've got a guy in that you're going to love he is the

former CEO of Toyota North America and the CEO of Toyota Motor Corporation and we were having dinner the other night and he explained the supply chain wait until you he here, A, how amazing it is, and then try to figure out how are we going to get this back. That's coming up in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about autumn. She wrote in recently talk about the Tuttle Twins books and what they mean to her family. She said, Glenn, I have to let you know, this book series has meant the world to our family. I read from them to my six kids.

Six kids. You know what's causing that autumn, right? I think they do. Really? Okay. Anyway, six kids. She says, I'm homeschooling. Six kids, you are a saint.

Anyway, when we finish all of them, we start right over again. Our reading has led to relevant discussions of current events and an understanding of government and the law at a much deeper level. Listen, waking America up from its slumber, reminding ourselves of who we are, starts with our kids. Our kids are going to be the ones that really fight this battle in the future. and if you are expecting them to be taught through osmosis or anything at school about how the free market actually works, why a republic is the best system out there. You're not going to find it. You're just not going to find it in their classrooms. Tuttle Twins books.

It's a great series and they have a 35% discount off their books right now. They're giving away the activity workbook at no additional cost. It's a big discount. Just go to tuttle twinsbeck.com. That's tuttle twinsbeck.com. Get the discount. Keep your kids sane in this socialist world. Tuttle twinsbeck.com.

Before we go and introduce you to Jim Lentz, I want to get a quick update from Stu on, and again, hey, they fought a good battle. Let's not. Hey, we're all in this together, guys. We're in this together. So, okay. All right.

So here's some of the results from last night. So Glenn Yonkin is the big news. He wins in Virginia in what would have been just a month ago, a shocking upset. It's important to say because we got to that point in the last week before the election where we thought he might win that this is a devastating defeat for Charlie McCullough. And it couldn't happen to a better guy. It really couldn't. And I will tell you, I have lots to say on this. I think just the Terry McCullough loss tells us many things that we need to know.

I'll cover that coming up next hour. Basically, progressives lost almost everywhere, including in Buffalo, where a socialist Democrat lost to a right-in candidate, who was just a normal crazy Democrat. The only real victory for real hardcore progressivism around the country was in Boston, the mayor in Boston, who's Elizabeth Warren clone. She wins there. But they were falling apart, conservative, I can't say conservative. people who are more normal and more conservative, if you can use that word, in San Francisco, were winning last night.

I mean, it's the Seattle, the Seattle, the school board in San Francisco flipped away from these people who were saying, we're going to rename George Washington High School. Yep. It's big, big, big. A couple more big school board victories in Texas as well. one other interesting situation was in New York, not really covered too much, but there's three ballot initiatives, all of them sort of trying to open up elections like, you know, same day registration and things like that. All of them failed and failed badly in New York, which is remarkable.

And then the other big race that everyone's watching right now is New Jersey. It's very, very close as we speak. The governor race there, Biden won New Jersey by 16 points. currently it's 49.66% to 49.60%. Murphy, the Democrat, is leading at this point. You know, as someone who goes through all this stuff all the time, the votes that are outstanding are largely in blue counties. And I would expect Murphy to hold on to this,

though it's going to be very, very close. Which is itself an earthquake. Even the fact that it was close is almost more impressive than what happened in Virginia. So the economy, school, the culture, what's happening in Washington, D.C., the wild unpopularity for Joe Biden all played a role, but one of the big things that everyone was talking about across the country as they were coming out of the polls was the economy. And the supply chain is really hard to understand. I was having dinner with a friend, Jim Lentz. he is he's been the head of you were the head of Toyota for how long?

Sales site about six years and about seven years CEO for North America. Okay. So he was the CEO for Toyota Motor Corporation of North America and the chief operating officer of the parent company in Japan. He is, he was there for all of the big things, including the move from California to Texas, Plano, Texas. And also you were there for the big earthquake in Japan, which I think would play a little bit of a role that you could learn from now on supply chain issues. Oh, very much so.

Very much so. Okay. So can you explain the supply chain to the audience like you did to me when I asked you? So what is happening with the supply chain? Sure. So the biggest thing to understand is supply chain is a system. And there are a lot of different components to it. And it really starts with forecasting and ordering what you think.

So as a manufacturer, I have to forecast what my future needs of automobiles will be. I place that manufacturing order. And let's say something that's being produced overseas. It gets produced. It gets shipped. It gets processed at the port. It then gets transported, whether it gets trucked to the ultimate place of sale or a warehouse. Or it gets moved into a rail yard and then it gets railed.

and eventually it gets sold. So the challenge is when the supply chain breaks down, all of that has to operate in sync. If you concentrate as we are today on just the port operations, you're just going to move that supply chain problem further down the road. Because let's just, and I'm sure it doesn't work this way, but let's just say you have shipment of a whole bunch of steering wheels coming in. well, what are you going to do with all the steering wheels? Because you're missing the chips because the chips aren't in. You need all of them to come in in an ordered way, right? Right.

And can you explain how sophisticated the supply chain is for factories like Toyota? Yeah. Well, you know, so literally the Japanese kind of invented just in time. And just in time means when I build a vehicle in my plant, literally the part that goes on that truck may only arrive. hours before production. In fact, our plant here in Texas that builds the tundra, we actually have suppliers on site, the seat supplier. So they will build their seats in the same sequence that I build my vehicle. So that seat literally arrives maybe 20 minutes before it needs to to be able to go down that line. And I think the biggest thing as a result of all this, Lean Manufacturing

was created to take waste out of the system. So you didn't have to warehouse. 30 and 60 days worth of parts. Because when you were at Ford, this is many years ago, almost 40 years ago, when you were at Ford, you told me that there were times when you ran out of the right color seats,

but that was just it. That's right. You put in whatever you had at the end of the year. So, you know, the world's gotten away from that. But the big question that COVID in this supply chain crisis has created

is can lean manufacturing as we know it today, just in time, literally hours before it's needed. Is that the best way to go? Are we going to need to go backwards a little bit, create more warehousing, so we don't have these big glitches? It's going to be interesting to see how this gets fixed, because there's an old adage in the car business, and that is, when things were going wrong, you'd say the bull is in the ditch.

and the big question is not how the bull got there, not whose fault it was, not how you're going to keep them out of the ditch in the future. The question is, how do you get him out of the ditch today? So today we need to be concentrating our efforts on the supply chain in these ports and how can we get these ports cleared as quickly as possible. So I've talked to the head of the truckers, independent truckers. They say there's not a shortage of trucks. There's a shortage of place to put stuff. And they say the trucks, the reason why they have problems with truckers is sometimes these truckers will wait eight hours at a port. And they're not getting paid for that.

They're not getting paid to wait. So what is the problem? If you were president, how would you be fixing this? I would go to somewhere like Wharton and get a systems expert on logistics. to go down to the port and observe exactly what's happening. Where are the bottlenecks? Is the bottleneck trucks coming into the port? Is the bottleneck trucks going out of the port?

Is the bottleneck how many cranes we have to move it? I mean, there are so many issues. And if you look at Long Beach as an example, they've been processing roughly 18,000 containers a day. Jeez. There are 29,000 containers a day arriving. Oh my gosh. And, you know, as I started to research this for your show today, you can go back to March.

And there was a huge backlog in March. So this didn't just take place last month. This has been going on for some time. And nobody did anything. No. And there are 540,000 containers sitting on ships waiting to be processed. Oh, my God. And only 18,000 can be.

So if you look at those numbers, you're going to be processed. You've got to increase your throughput by 60% just to keep up with what's coming, not even to cut into the backlog of what you have there. So the only way to tackle this is to look at the entire system. How can we approve the efficiency every step along the way? Because if, for example, I find a way to work 24-7 at every terminal, and I start putting out all these containers, where your next problem is going to be at the railhead. You're not going to have enough trains to move the merchandise.

And then if you fix that problem, then where are you going to put all this stuff? You're not going to have the warehouse space. If you go into Walmart today and there's something that's not in stock and you say, well, do you have it in the back room? There isn't a back room. Right. So this. That's why like our supermarkets are restocked. Like what is it?

Like something created like 18 times a day. Yeah. Because it's just in time, right? They predict when they're going to be out of these products. Yeah. I mean, it happens at our plants. I mean, literally at one end of the plant, we'll have parts arrive. And literally, within hours, it is taken from there, and it's put on the assembly line.

Rarely departs sit for a very long period of time. Well, that seems like an impossible problem to fix, because you have to fix it from both ends. Yeah. And a lot of the stuff in these 540,000 containers are not going to be used right away. Right, right. Which is going to cause a problem if they are parts used to complete whatever it might be, a television, an automobile piece of furniture. It creates that problem as well. And understand, too, in China today, their main port, they have problems with electricity, they have a problem with manpower.

and they're likely running short on cargo containers. Because nothing is coming back to them. Right, right. So at some point in time, you're going to have this glut sitting over there ready to come back. And this armada is going to keep on coming until this system gets fixed. Now, the big challenge is the port infrastructure needs to be improved. In the case of Long Beach, I don't think there's much more land to deal with. Right.

So until you can improve. the efficiency and that's that takes someone to sit down and actually observe what happens at Toyota as an example we have a department that works in our plants just on efficiency and they'll sit and they'll observe what's going on on an assembly line to figure out where we wasting time how can how can we change something to improve the safety or prove the efficiency of what we do and it may just be something that saves two or three seconds but it makes a huge huge difference over time that same type of thought process has to go into fixing a complex

problem so was this doomed to fail from the beginning I mean should we be looking for the short term to get us back to this kind of a system it seems to me one of the things we learned was there are some things like chips and medicine that maybe we should make here in America for just for our own strategic, you know, defense reasons. Right. But does this system go back to the way it was? Well, I think the difficulty is if you look at California,

the ports in Long Beach, I believe they were up 25 or 30 percent even last year. And this year, they're up another 20 or 30 percent. And if you're landlocked and that much throughput is increasing, it was inevitable that you were going to have challenges. unless you changed how you operated. You know, the difficulty with just moving chips to the U.S. as an example, they're roughly 50 chip manufacturers in the world. 50% of all the chips come out of Taiwan.

I need you to listen to this. 50% of all chips come out of Taiwan. Roughly 90% of all the really high-tech, sophisticated chips come out of Taiwan. Most all the chips come out of somewhere in Asia. If it's not Taiwan, it's Japan, it's Vietnam. It's China number two, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah, I think if you add Taiwan and China together, they are by far the largest.

So if Taiwan falls to China, they have a gun to our head. To the globe. Yeah. Yeah. And the difficulty is it takes a long time to build one of these plants. And they're very capital intensive. You know, a new chip plant today is $15 to $20 billion to build. So you can't exactly change that overnight.

So we're going to continue our conversation here in just a second. This is what, when you think about build back better, which is just a slogan to change the financial strategy of our system. This is the kind of stuff that we should be talking about. Can we get relief to help build chip manufacturing plants here in America? Can we redesign our ports? Instead, they're going to green energy and all of this garbage that is not going to help us out in the future to remain ahead of the rest of the world, or at least even competitive with the rest of the world. Back in just a second, 60 seconds to tell you about Debra Ann.

She lives in Massachusetts. as she writes in about her experience with taking a relief factor for pain. She said, I started taking relief factor four days ago about after hearing about it on your show for so long. Amazingly, my hip pain in four days is almost completely gone. Used to be, I had horrible time sleeping because of that pain, but not anymore. I am absolutely loving how I'm feeling these days. Thank you so much. Debra, Ann, that's close to a miracle.

Four days and you're already pain free. you know, if you're taking it for three weeks, you should start to see some relief of your pain. And if you're not seeing anything in three weeks, stop taking it. You're part of the 30% probably that it won't work on. It has given me my life back and so many of our listeners, try it now, relieffactor.com. Try the three-week quick start for 1995. It's relieffactor.com, 800, 500,883, 84. Relieffactor.

dot com 10 seconds station id so am i wrong with that assessment that that we're not doing the right it doesn't seem like we're focused on the right things as a nation well and part of it i i think if you look at build back better there is money in there to build chip plants in the u.s there is money in there and i think there's infrastructure to try and prove the ports so but it's being undershadowed by some of the rest of this garbage. I'll say garbage. You don't have to say garbage. Yeah. So you know, trying to get people prepared

for the short term. I've been saying for a while, buy your Christmas presents now. Because when they run out, they run out. Right? Yeah. No. What industries do you think are going to be most effective? How is the consumer going to be

most affected by this. Do you have any idea? Well, you know, I can speak primarily the car industry. Yeah. You know, right now, consumers are spending a lot more for vehicles. If you go into buy a new car today, chances are they are not discounting them because an industry that typically has good selection 60 days worth of cars on the ground. Today, they may have five days worth of cars on the ground. You were trying to buy a car recently and you couldn't get the options that you wanted. You were Yeah, I mean, it's ordered, but it's, they just, they won't even give me a date and when they expect to deliver it. Yeah, because they may not know, because they're not sure when the parts are going to come in. Because if you look at it, and chips are a big part of it, but an average car has anywhere from 50 to say 150 chips.

If it's a hybrid or an EV, it may have thousands of chips. And the more sophisticated your car, the more chips it has. anti-lock brakes lane departure warning dynamic cruise control navigation all of that creates more chips so is it possible that we are entering a time

to where your car breaks down and you just don't have one for a while because it's just sitting in the shop they don't have the parts yeah i mean good news is at least with chips that doesn't happen very often but sure i mean if if you're bringing some of your parts from overseas in our case we buy 30

$33 billion worth of parts a year in the U.S. So fewer and fewer and fewer companies, sure. You have a problem with your car. Your cruise control goes out and you need a new component. It may take quite a while to get it. And as you mentioned, to be able to produce vehicles today, some of the manufacturers are reducing the options that are on. Back in just a second, the supply chain and the coming economy.

Also, we give you an update, and I have a lot of. more to say about last night's election coming up on the program and we'll have another update on who won who lost yesterday really good news you know if you're a fan of this program you're in a happy place today patriot mobile is one of those companies that we all need to start doing business with AT&T just did a big session this week where they were teaching their employees if you were white that you're part of the problem and you need to be less white I don't even know what means, quite honestly. But that just goes to reinforce.

I don't want to do business with AT&T. I don't want to do business with people who are funding Planned Parenthood like Verizon is. I would rather, because I can get the same great service and I can get it at half the cost, I can get that from Patriot Mobile, a company that is not, let me put it this way, a company that is reflecting my values. I'd rather be for something, that against something. and Patriot Mobile is something that will give me the same great service, half the cost,

and I can be for them because they're for me. PatriotMobil.com slash Beck. Go there now. Back to back tonight, Studas America and Glenn Beck on TV. Make sure to check it out, blazTV.com slash Glenn. The promo code is Glenn. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We're very glad that you're here today.

We have an update on what's happening in the, it was a good night. It was a very, very good night. in case you miss that, all the way from Seattle to Virginia, believe it or not. Not a good night if you are a deep progressive. We're talking to Jim Lentz. He's in. He's the former CEO of Toyota North America and the former C-O-O-O-O-O-Motor Motor Corporation in Japan. And in the Wall Street Journal, I think it's, yeah, this week, two days ago, there was a full-page ad that Toyota took out.

Let's not play politics with the environment, the American auto worker and the American consumer. Toyota believes the future of automobiles is electric. We also believe Congress needs to provide incentives for the purchase of electric vehicles to speed the transition to the electric future. But some in Congress have a different idea. They want to give an extra $4,500 incentive exclusively for electric vehicles made by workers who have decided to join a union. What does this say to the American auto worker who's decided not to join a union? It says their work is worth $4,500 less because they made that choice. This doesn't, I mean, this is the problem in Washington is, A, I think the car business,

is the future is electric, possibly hydrogen in the end. I don't know for sure. But the American consumer is not being allowed to drive that innovation. And now if you really cared about climate change, why would you say, you know, how many car companies are union? I mean, do you know the balance? I don't know the numbers. Is it 50-50 or any idea? It's probably a greater percentage non-union in this country.

So that's crazy. Yeah, it's nuts because, you know, the administration has put out the challenge of selling 50% electric vehicles by 2030. That's a huge number to hit. But if 60% or 50%, call it 50-50, of the manufacturers can't participate in that because of a 45% hundred dollar less incentive and in to put forty five hundred in perspective that's a hundred dollars a month in payments that's huge so that's a huge number for the average person that's going into purchase so you know to me it's just it's it's it's bad policy it's not fair to that worker I mean what do you tell

in that worker that is is a great American worker that builds vehicles you're telling him he's not worth as much you're telling the consumer that you really have to buy from these three manufacturers, even though you may want to buy from someone else. 100 bucks a month's big difference. You're saying that while the environment's important, the drive for unionization is more important. And what are you telling the taxpayer?

Because these aren't the government's dollars. These are taxpayer dollars. And basically, you're telling the taxpayer that it's okay for the government to use your tax dollars to put their thumb on the stock. scale of competition. And to me, that's the biggest problem in all this. So I agree with you. The problem is this crony capitalism that we are only making much worse with the ESG and

everything that's happening in Scotland this week. They are picking winners and losers. And this happened, I mean, I am probably the only person crazy enough to cancel a multi-year contract with General Motors. The company tried to get General Motors to advertise on talk radio forever. And then they went into business with the government with TARP. And I said, you know, when you get back out of business with the government, that's great. But you just told me before this president came in that hydrogen was the future.

And when he gets in office, the first thing he does is say, you drop hydrogen and you'll get this money. how can I represent a company that sells themselves out like that so fast? They're picking winners and losers left and right, and that stops innovation. It does. And the government isn't good at picking winners and losers. What works in America is let companies compete and let consumers choose who they like the best, what products they like the best. You know, in our case, we do believe that electrification is going to be the future.

But I can't tell you if that is a battery powered car, a hydrogen powered car, a hybrid car, a plug-in hybrid car. It's up to the consumers to make that decision. And the risk in not allowing the consumer to make that decision, roughly in the marketplace, there are 250 million cars on the road. average age is about 12 years so if you really want to clean up the environment the key is to get the old cars off the road and and yes in a perfect world if they were all electric it would be wonderful but the unintended consequences people either don't want or can't afford the electric car so what are they going to do they're going to drive older cars longer and they're going to create a bigger CO2 problem over time. And they're also, they also don't. I mean, this is the thing, Jim, you know, you said earlier that China is having electrical problems. They are. Their power grid is they're going dark. Some, some cities, some factories are just literally dark in China. And they're building a new coal fire plant every week in China. If the more we put

onto the power grid, the more cars we're all plugging in, they're, look what happened to Texas last year because we added wind power and solar power and then turned the coal fire plants down and our nuclear energy down. You can't do that while adding all of these cars. I mean, we're going to be looking at real serious electrical problems. Are we not? Yeah. I would I would guess that's the case as well. You know, part of it is you want to help as a manufacturer, you want to help lead consumers to a greener future. But if you get too far out in front of the consumer, they will lose track of what you're trying to accomplish. And that's the biggest fear. That's why we think as long as we can building hybrids and plug-in hybrids and electrics. And eventually, we believe the world is hydrogen.

Because it's just a better battery. There are challenges with batteries. People today, 75, almost 80 percent of what people are buying today are pickup trucks. And as you, They're bigger vehicles. Those take enormous batteries because of their weight to move. It's just not an efficient way to do things. And this is E-C-square. The bigger the battery, the more power you need to move it. Because of the weight.

Right. But in the case of hydrogen, you're producing electricity on board. So you need much smaller batteries, much less weight. There are challenges with infrastructure to be able to build out hydrogen infrastructure. but there are challenges with an EV infrastructure today as well. How does the average person who might live in a apartment or a condominium complex, they don't have a garage, how are they plugging their car in? It's a huge challenge.

It's a huge challenge where in the case of hydrogen, I think people want cars to act just like gasoline cars in the future. I don't want to, I haven't bought an electric car because I don't want a car that only goes four, miles. That's ridiculous. I like to drive across the country. I like to, I don't want to be limited at 400 miles and then I have to stop in the middle of someplace and find a charging station. Yeah. That's not reasonable. Yeah. And in the case of hydrogen, you can refill your vehicle in about the same amount of time it takes to refuel a gas in a car. Correct. So, you know, and eventually battery technology will catch up. But we just have to understand that it's going to

take time. And let's not have perfect be the enemy of progress. So we are, but we are putting rules down now that are, you know, 2030, 2050, which I think is a great goal, but not when you're mandating that you get there. That's, it, you know, it doesn't work that way. Yeah. Well, eventually, if you make a mistake, there's going to be pushback from consumers. If you start telling consumers, I'm sorry, but the only thing you're going to be able to drive is a four-passenger car to make an EV efficient. And they're coming out of their escalate or they're coming out of their van. That's going to be a problem down the road. And they're either not going to come out of the vehicle or they're just not going to be happy. So companies like Toyota pushing back

on this union thing so that gives me a lot of hope that there, there are. are companies that are standing up for common sense and saying, no, no, this doesn't make any sense at all. They're not just folding to the green agenda at all costs. Yeah. I mean, you can't because, you know, I've got a lot of stakeholders. You know, I employ 36,000 people in the U.S. through 10 manufacturing plants. I've got 180,000 dealer personnel that rely on Toyota to make their livelihoods. You know, between the dealers and Toyota, we've invested over $60 billion in this country. So, you know, we believe that we've earned a right for a seat at the table. We think we're part of the fabric of America.

You know, on a retail basis, more people purchase Toyota products than any other brand. See, I have to tell you, going the opposite direction, I think the one that doesn't really have a seat at the table is standing in. the room. But the one who doesn't have a seat at the table is the government. I mean, the government should be there just to go, hey, hey, hey, hey, wait, wait, wait. No, what you guys are talking about at the table. You can't do because of the Constitution. But they are leading the discussions at the table now. And that's just, that's a recipe for disaster. Yeah, and especially on the EV side. I mean, frankly, you know, Tesla vehicles aren't going to get this. Reveen, so, so, so if you Look at the really companies that are really pushing the EV side, the real innovators, they're

also locked out of this. Right. And it just... Elon Musk is crazy about this. He's going nuts. Yeah. Yeah. Jim, thank you so much.

You're very welcome. I really appreciate it. This is Jim Lentz, former CEO, Toyota North America, C.O. of Toyota Motor Corporation in Japan. I hope to have you on again. You're a fascinating guy. Thank you so much, Jim Lens. Our sponsor this half hour is American Finance.

You got to get your financial house in the best shape it can be. The concept of storing up in good times for when bad time comes. Old is the Bible and just as relevant today as it was then. You could be saving money. Now, where can you save money? You know, you want to improve your financial status. You have to do one of two things. You've got to get a better job or more jobs.

Or you have to save money. Well, do both. An easy way for you to save money is to consolidate. your mortgage with all of your high interest credit cards or just to get a lower interest rate and please lock the interest rate in the the interest rate has to come up it just has to come up if we're going to stop inflation um american financing can help you there's you know uh there's no tricks and no obligation you just call them and see if they can help you i know several people in the audience that have called and i've done this and they're like yeah can't can't help you

This is the Glenn Beck program. So just how bad was the defeat of the left? I think you only have to go to New York City. And while this guy's not a conservative, he's a former cop. So he's against defund the police. Correct. So in the midst of all this defund the police, even New Yorkers who are bad crap crazy, even New Yorkers have said, yeah, we're not going down that road.

That's remarkable. It really is. really almost exclusively across the country, the AOC wing of the party was absolutely handed defeat after defeat after defeat, which is really good news because I mean as much as it is easier to defeat the AOC wing of the party when you're talking about elections, but you don't want people like that in power. Like, God forbid when they do sneak in to office, they can do massive damage. And you'd rather have, you'd rather have a sane Democratic Party if it were ever to exist again.

Yeah, I know. So the fact that the AOC party and wing of the party is being shown to be an electoral loser over and over and over again is a good thing for the country. It is. By the way, tonight on the Wednesday night special, the insider story of the massive border crisis under President Biden. This fiscal year, there have been over 1.7 million. arrests on the southern border. This is the highest number ever recorded, more than twice the population of Washington, D.C. Three times the population of Wyoming.

And that's just the people who were caught crossing the border illegally. In the past few months, there's been around a thousand additional people per day that Border Patrol refers to as gotaways. The Biden-Harris administration has been AWOL. on this. The useless debates that are going on. Tonight, I'm sitting down with the recently ousted U.S. Border Patrol chief Rodney Scott. He is a 29-year border veteran who served under five different presidents. Only one president has decided to politicize Scott's position. Rodney Scott, he could have said a lot over the past several weeks about the disaster he has witnessed this year,

but he's not a political hack. He wanted to wait until the time was right to talk, and that time is tonight. Join us tonight. Do you want to hear what's really going on in the border? How about the former border chief, the guy who has served under five different presidents? He's going to talk about what happened tonight at 9 p.m.

Go ahead.

You would be a bad person if you did something like that too many times. More than, more than 10. More than 10. No more than 10 in an hour. Okay. So, so the signal from San Francisco is pretty,

pretty strong. You're talking about the scent of the streets? Like they're just the public defecation. The signal. The signal sent. Okay. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Public safety, public education. Voters in San Francisco said yesterday, yeah. Why don't you just pick up the garbage? Why don't you just get people to stop crapping on the streets and stop trying to rename all of the you know George Washington and Abraham Lincoln

schools. We're pretty cool with that. That is astounding astounding to happen in San Francisco but it looks like I mean could we just play

Kamala Harris this is one two three four cut four please because you see what happens in Virginia will in large part determine what happens in 2022, 2024, and on. Everybody! She's right, though.

See, people say we can't be bipartisan. We agree with her analysis on that point. We 100% agree. 100% agree. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. So that's the problem. But will they learn that lesson?

no and to that I say everybody day because you just I mean it's one of those days it is one of those days the only thing setting it aside from a perfect wonderful day is what's happening in

New Jersey yeah which is incredibly good news for Republicans overall yeah and and quite honestly to even be close in New Jersey To be close is astounding. The best poll in New Jersey for Chitterelli, who's the Republican there, was a four-point defeat. And it's, I don't think it's going to be that high. I think he looks like he is going to wind up losing in a very close election, just because the vote that is hanging around is from Democratic districts.

But I will say this. What's interesting, too, when you look at on the other side of this in Virginia, the news of the governor situation and down the ticket, pretty good. But the House of Delegates, which is a fascinating race, much more fascinating than the title House of Delegates would indicate. Because House of Delegates, I mean, if that was a show on PBS, the House of Delegates, I would immediately. So there's a few different crazy ones there. First of all, there's this guy, his last name is Chris Hurst. Did I tell you this story? This is a crazy one. No, go ahead. So Chris Hurst, you don't know. know who he is of course but he you know something about him you know about the absolute worst

moment of his life okay okay so in 2015 remember this you'll remember this story um a video comes out of a female reporter doing a live hit on the air and she's interviewing someone from the chamber of commerce locally and in the middle of the interview a gunman comes out and kills her in the middle of the interview. Do you remember this story? No. You don't remember the story? We talked about it at the time. The video was everywhere. She was legitimately doing a local news report. Gunman comes out, kills her on the camera, on camera, kills the cameraman as well. The woman who she was interviewing got away. That woman, the reporter who was killed was the fiancé of this guy, Chris Hurst,

who after this incident wound up running for the House of Delegates. He wins a close election, wins another close election. He's running again. The night before the election, he is pulled over. And apparently... Hold on just a second. Hold on just a second. I was promised, I was promised here the, you know, the House of Delegates or whatever that sounded. Welcome to the House of Delegates. Nobody, nothing exciting like this happens in the House of Delegates. All they do is, talk about quorum calls. Right.

That's what happens in the House of Delicate. That's right. And somebody is like a really bad maid. Yes. Somebody else. Yeah. Okay.

Anyway. So this guy gets pulled over. Pulled over the night before the election. Police talk to him. So it's unclear exactly what happened. But either him or possibly the woman who was in his car, they catch them because they were vandalizing signs for his opponent. So the night before the election, I guess they're just out tearing down signs for their opponent in the race.

Long story on that part, short, he winds up losing in the House of Delegates. This brings it to a 50-50 split. So Republicans might have a, you know, they're going to have a split control of this house. However, in the overnight, how many times have you heard this story? In the overnight, new votes were found. All the time. All the time. Yeah.

New votes were found. New votes were counted. and the outcome changed in favor of the Republicans. And now Republicans look like they'll have 52 seats. In two different seats, they're going to wind up getting a last minute win it looks like. And it looks like now Republicans will get control of the House of Delegates in Virginia, which nobody thought was possible coming into last night. So really, I mean, it's hard to limit how good the news was last night.

Everybody there! Wait a minute, but it was supposed to be boring. Okay, all right, here's how we do it. Here's how we do it. You know, the House of Delegates, there was somebody, somebody that was not driving Bentley, came up on a bicycle and he was riding, and there was a sign there in the large lawn.

And he looked at it and said, this shant stand. and votes were found in the basement by the butler. And then just like a long musical interlude out. Oh, sorry. On this week's House of Delegates, brought you in part by the Ford Foundation. That's where they spend most of their money.

Most of their money is on shows like the House of Delegates. Yeah, that and like really creepy eugenic stuff. Yeah, sure. The House of Delegates is the main part of the organization. Not the actual House of Delegates, but the show. The show. Tuesday nights. So really the only thing holding back the ultimate party today is this New Jersey thing, which

looks like it's, you know, this is like one of those situations where you're like a small college. You have no chance to win, beat the big SEC team you're playing. And somehow you've got the ball on the one yard line with eight seconds left in the game. And you can't quite punch it across. Like they're going to wind up losing a very close race. You know, and once again, it is a sign. McCullough losing is a sign that Hillary Clinton and the Clinton's power is way over.

Absolutely. Way over. Their influence is done. McCullough is essentially a Clinton. That's how close he is to that legacy. And again, that he might actually be a Clinton. Yeah. This will might have had sex with somebody.

You know. I don't know. On the next episode. On the next episode of the House of Delegates, Bill Clinton has sex with a downstairs made. Will that be Terry McCullough? Find out in the next episode of EBS. It's hard to promote that show because how do you spell it? You know?

Delegates? No. The last episode of. it's just difficult to so his so the clinton's are absolutely over now which is which is another reason everybody i mean it's another reason for that it's another reason for that and i think that bill clinton i mean uh Barack obama also i mean he went out and he politicked hard but his message was this is all bull crap. This is all made up stuff.

These white people are afraid of black people. And nobody's buying that. Nobody's buying that anymore. Yeah, you know, I think that's a real miscalculation by the left. And I hope they continue to make it. Oh, I do too. Because it is just, it's so insulting. You know, and I think there's an interesting thing here, Glenn, between Virginia and New Jersey.

We talked about Virginia a lot in the lead-up. And obviously, education was one of the most important things. But education isn't just CRT and gender, right? It's also teachers unions telling your kids they're not allowed to go to school. Correct. It's the masks. It's also a mask mandates. It's now.

Now it's your 5 to 11 year old having to get vaccinated. Vaccine mandates and passports and all that stuff. So all that stuff is out there. And I think like when you look at the New Jersey situation, which looks like it will move more to the right in pure points than. even Virginia did. I mean, it's a bluer state. And you look at that and there was not, CRT was not a big part of that election.

You know, the gender stuff was not a big part of that election. The COVID stuff was a big part of that election. You know, you look at Murphy has the single highest or second highest. He even has a worse death rate in the state than Andrew Cuomo, which is saying something. And, you know, then you add on

all of the businesses that were closed down. they didn't want kids going to school. He's one of the worst with the mandates in the nation. All of this came and hit New Jersey business owners and, you know, regular citizens in the face over and over and over and over and over again. And, you know, that's might be a bigger factor. I think, too, a big part of this is just how bad Joe Biden is. Yeah. It's not, you know, there is a national aspect here.

There are some, like, I think, um, I think Winsome Sears could be a superstar. She could be a, now this is a great story. I don't know that much about her. Yeah, I don't either, but she's got a great, great story. And she's cool pictures of her. Right, the gun? Yeah, very cool.

So she is the new lieutenant governor in Virginia. She is also the first woman of color in the office of the Commonwealth's 400-year legislative history. Okay. and she took on CRT and she was very, very clear. Look, we should learn good and bad about American history.

Yeah, yep. 100%. But we, what did, how did she say it? Something along the lines of, but if you are coming in to a class and you're trying to make one kid feel guilty for history and their white, black doesn't matter, that's not sustainable, that's not a good plan.

So teach history as it actually happened. Leave all the rest of it out. Yeah. And what was amazing, I was watching a little CNN last night, so you don't have to. And over and it was your night. It was my night.

Over and over and over again, they made the point that this was just, you know, look, Yonkin, he just was using racist dog whistles. He just, you know, like when he was trying to ban these, books, they just happen to be with black authors. That absolutely. This is, this is crazy. This is crazy. And, you know, this is a guy whose lieutenant governor, who he's going all around the state was, was the, was the, was Sears, who is black, the first black woman to have statewide office.

His attorney general that he was running with is Hispanic all around the country. Honestly, the only person who made sense. And I didn't, and I know he took some of as well. Van Freakin Jones Who said He got in trouble for some of the stuff he said last night But he said over and over again He said this This idea that we can win elections Meaning Democrats can win elections

By just saying we're not Trump Is dead tonight It's over And he said over and over again That Democrats Come off as offensive To regular people They come off as annoying

To regular people and he's completely right. And elitist. And elitist. I mean, I think there's something to be said. When you are using the word latinx in your... Is it latinx or Latinx? You said, I think it could be both.

Is that... I think it's latinx. It seems even worse somehow. Oh, I did. It is. I've heard them say latinx. I've heard them say latinx as well. Now, Latin X just sounds like Malcolm X.

Yeah, to me. It's bad either way. I don't... But, I mean, I prefer... My preferred pronoun here is latinx. Latinx is better. It seems more demeaning to Democrats. And it's more absurd considering Hispanics don't want you to say it.

They don't want to say. No. Latinx. No. Tinks. They don't want to say any of that. And that's the point. When you have these, I think they are dog whistles for white elitists.

When you say things that the average person is not saying, that's a dog whistle. I'm better than you. And people are not going to have any more of it. I hope. I hope. All right. Now, let's see the Republicans and what they do when they actually get into office. Please do something.

We had a great night at the polls. If you are a conservative and you are against the things that this government is doing now, we took a step towards sanity, a big, big step towards sanity last night. However, let's remember

that we still have the Biden administration in power, which means, I mean, just what's happening in Glasgow today, which we'll tell you about tomorrow, that is going to affect every American citizen. The things that they're doing with energy is remarkable, the things they're not doing on the supply chain, also remarkable. And we're going to have shortages.

And Carol Roth, who is the author of the War on Small Business, She's a former investment banker. She is cut from the same cloth, I think, that I am. And she is looking at what is coming and seeing some real problems. And I wanted to get her on because we are entering the holidays. And I don't want people to hoard things, but I do want you to be prepared. And so I ask Carol to look into this. And she joins us now.

Hi, Carol. How are you? I'm doing well, Glenn. It's very well said. You know, if you fail to prepare, you prepare to fail. It's a good old Boy Scouts mantra, isn't it? So the things that, I mean, we are going to be facing energy shortages, I think, and if it is very, very cold, I think we're going to see a repeat of what we had here in Texas around the country, or we could. the things that people are saying right now, the energy issue is one of the things, but also water.

And I don't understand the water issue. Why are people saying there's a water shortage? Well, I always like to follow the money. I know it's something that you're very keen on. And if you look at what's been happening over the past several years, you have really big pools of money, institutional and investors, hedge funds, who have been buying up land that has water rights associated with it. And any time you have institutional investors going to something that everyone thinks is a commodity in buying it up, that's forward-thinking that maybe something's going on.

And with population growth and obviously all the issues that we have just in terms of governments and their mismanagement, there are a lot of people who are very concerned, both, short-term and long-term about water shortages. So I think it's really imperative that everybody, like you said, you don't have to go out and hoard, and in fact, Costco won't let you do it. They've already put a limit on it. But every time you go to the store, purchase some extra water, get to the point where you have at least a gallon a day per person in your household for at least a month, because this is

And if you, yeah, yes, because if this is something that happens, you're going to want to have that extra preparation. And there could be a short-term implication because of the supply chain, but I am deeply concerned based on all of this investment that's been going on longer term. So I had a billionaire friend of mine say to me, oh, 12, 15 years ago. Glenn, you got to buy water. Yeah. And I said, why do I feel like I'm sitting here with Rockefeller in, you know, 1900 when he said, buy oil? And he said, because it is, it's going to be as precious as oil is. And he said, but don't buy water.

Don't buy water per se. He said, buy the things that will help filter water, invest in. He said, because otherwise, if you. are the water baron, he said you're going to be as unpopular as any of these oil people are now. No, it makes a lot of sense. And so that's another good backup thing that you can purchase for your own household is to get a supply of water filters. But you're right, from an investment thesis standpoint, there are all the kinds of technologies that are being developed, things for the desalienization of water and whatnot. So that's definitely something to consider.

You know who's really focused on this, too? Michael Burry, if any of you watched the big short, he was one of the first guys to call the mortgage crisis, and that's where he's been investing as well. So I don't understand where is the water shortage coming from, though. I mean, we've got water. Well, we don't have as much that's usable as everybody thinks. Well, I mean, places in California don't because they haven't built a reservoirs

1972. Exactly. Exactly. They haven't been investing in some of these arenas that are required in order to make sure that you keep the water. And we also have population growth. And you have to remember it's not just the major consumption of water individually, but 70% of the water that's used is for food, which goes into sort of the next issue is if you're going down the chain, you don't just want to have water, you want to make sure that you have access to food. And as you mentioned with California, California is a huge source and supplier of our food, you know, here in the U.S. as well as throughout the world. And I'm really concerned because I just saw again yesterday a story about Bill Gates buying up farmland saying that he's got these little farms. They're not going to be sustainable.

And so he's helping by buying them all up. Super helpful, don't you think? Oh, super helpful. Yeah. So also things on your own land, if you have access to seeds and things where you can also grow your own healthful food, that's important as well as the perishables or the non-perishables to be able to have a stock and supply of that. So coming from you, this rings differently. I mean, I'm a prepper and been prepared for a while, but you don't strike me as a prepper in the classic sense of, you know, 2008. you were saying this.

Yeah, so I would call myself like a mini-prepper. So I'm always suspicious that there's something that's going on, but I don't have an underground bunker. So I'm sort of somewhere in between the two. But I do follow trends, and I do follow the money. And, you know, it's, unfortunately, it's a moral issue, right? Things that, you know, are used to sustain us, water and food. these shouldn't be treated, you know, like investment commodities, but, you know, that's sort of

the outgrowth of what's happened from all the terrible policy that we've seen from the government and the Fed. The guy who services my car said, hey, I bought some extra air filters for your car. And I was like, thanks. And he said, no, no, no, there's a shortage coming of air filters. He said, you want this. And I'm like, okay, well, thank you. But that not only is, for air filters for your car. If you have a problem with HVAC or any of this stuff, you're going to have a hard time. You should get it checked now, shouldn't you?

Yeah, I actually spoke to the head of maintenance of a huge food service operation as well as some other experts, and they are saying to have your HVAC system inspected now for any impending failures because one of the things that's happening in terms of the supply, chain. We all know the supply chain as a mess, but any parts that are coming out, the priority is being given to new products instead of to repair shops. So repairs are kind of down on the food chain, down on the totem pole, so to speak, in terms of getting things. So have that looked at, have them look at coils that might be leaking refrigerants, things that are easy to spot, and you get

yourself in the queue now in a patch until, you know, those needed parts arrive. And if you have an old refrigerator or if you have a refrigeration system that's necessary to store something like life-saving medicine, it probably makes sense to also invest in one of those mini-friges, you know, the kind that you can get for a dorm or that you see in a hotel. Yeah. You know, anything that if you've got a life-saving issue or you've got an appliance that's old, like you want to get in that queue now because, you know, think about it, we're headed for most of the country. into really cold weather. You want to get out ahead of the curve, for sure. So medicine is one of those things that I don't think we've learned our lesson on.

Correct. You know, COVID came and, you know, we all realized, oh, crap, we don't make our medicine here. And I don't think anything's being done. But how do you store up on medicine? So that's a really good question because it depends on, you know, if you have medicine that you can only get via prescription and that, you know, you're requiring to go through your insurance. I would say the number one thing that you can do is not wait until you're at the end of your

refill cycle. So if you, you know, kind of in that cycle where every month you buy something and they open it up for insurance on week three, always week three go in for sure. But to the extent that you can ask for, you know, a larger supply from your doctor,

go to your doctor, say you're concerned, can you write me a prescription for a three-month supply? or a four-month supply, you know, and if you have the financial wherewithal, even if you have to pay for it out of pocket, it's obviously worth that extra expense to not be in a scenario where you go to your pharmacy and they're saying, we're sorry, but, like, it's not just the medicine itself, it's the compounds. We couldn't get those compounds because they were coming from China or, you know,

whatever the reason is. So anything that's important to your life that will, you know, especially, if it's life-critical, but anything that you may have an issue with if you don't have access to, you don't need to hoard it, but slowly start building a backup. First aid kids, batteries, toothpaste, whatever it is, you want to make sure that you have something because that supply chain is so disrupted, not just for that end product, but for all the components that are going into it. Is this going to affect turkeys?

and I mean, I know we're going to have problems with the supply chain for Christmas, or I hope we don't, but likely we will. How about the food for Thanksgiving? Get your turkey now. I just heard. I was on a program right after the CEO of Butterball, and especially if you want a smaller turkey, and we know the prices of everything have gone through the roof for inflation, so that big turkey may be, you know, outside of the budget. You know, go get it now. Put your name on a list if you have to or put it in your freezer or whatnot, but get that. And then the other thing I will say, and I know that you've been very focused on this, Glenn,

is anything that comes in an aluminum can, that has been a huge shortage. So if you want your beer or if you want your canned cranberry sauce that you just love that comes in an aluminum can, go get that now because that's another area that we have a shortage. So I heard that from a couple of sources, and I couldn't verify, and I was trying to look online, I heard, you know, go buy anything that you like that are in cans because there's going to be a can shortage. You verify that that is coming? It's already been happening, and there's no sort of sense that's going to get better. And the reason is kind of funny, there are all these additional beverages that have come on the market.

like Markling Hard Seltzer that are using up. They become very popular out of nowhere, and they are using a part of that aluminum can supply, and with all the other issues that are going on the world, there's just a huge supply and demand of balance. So all of the people who are using aluminum for various products, including can manufacturers, are having a hard time getting those aluminum cans. I giggle because it's just so silly,

but this is what happens when, you're a central planner and you think you can turn on and off the economy like your power cycling a modem. The rest of us have figured out you can't do this. And now we're paying the price for all of that, literally. So Carol, I don't have time this time, but could I ask you to do some research for me? I am concerned about energy and generators. In California, they've already said no gasoline generators, no nothing.

And, you know, your power goes out. how do you generate power? And I'm looking not just for today, but what is going to be taxed out of or, you know, regulated out of existence in the next three years for power generation? Can you look into that and then we'll have you back? I absolutely would be happy.

Love the homework. Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. No, I love it. Listen, better you than me, Carol. You're providing real value to your listeners, These are actionable. This is just theory.

These are actionable things that people can do to make sure that they're surviving and make sure that their lives aren't disrupted. So I'm thrilled to be a part of it.

We'll talk again, Carol. Thank you so much. All right. Let me tell you a little bit about AMAC, which I think I just did. So I mean, I'm not, I'm the old one here, Sarah. And I have the good memory, right? Yeah. Let me tell you about gold line instead.

The American economy is very complex. It's an amazing machine, incredibly durable. I mean, you know, we were in the process of bouncing back from a pandemic in a matter of a couple of months. And that is remarkable. This economy has taken a beating. However, the dollar is going on. out of style, literally going out of style. If you read anything about what the Fed is planning, they are going to be going to a digital currency. When that happens, our dollars are going to be

worthless, really worthless. Other countries are already starting to try to box us out so far. They haven't. But it is coming with this inflation and out of control money printing. It's going to happen. Goldline is right now offering 6% free metals included with any qualifying self-directed IRA acquisition.
