And I want to be fair to Joe Biden. Sure, we're all feeling his decisions every time we're standing at the pump. But nobody gives him credit for being the
Starting point is 00:02:26 first president to also give away free gas in public. Just, I mean, you'd have to ask Prince Charles' wife, but that's a, okay, it was a fart joke, but I thought we'd start. Beneath us, Sarah? How do you think I got in the Hall of Fame? I don't know. I thought maybe it might be. Here's what Joe Biden's not going to do. Cover you when the mechanic says, yeah, your warranty is out of date.
Starting point is 00:02:57 You don't have a warranty anymore. And boy, is this going to cost you? He's not going to help you with that. In fact, he's helping everyone else. The price of fixing your car, especially if it is something like a chip, is just going to cost you an arm and a leg. They have saved me at CarShield, literally thousands of dollars on my old trucks. I want to drive my trucks until the doors fall off.
Starting point is 00:03:22 And the best way to do that is have a warranty. Can you imagine what it's going to cost you just for a rental car while yours is in the shop if they don't have the part? Car Shield has you covered. Best defense against costly repairs it could put you in a deep freeze is Car Shield. right now, carshield.com will help you save 10% off of the plan that you work together and devise with them. Carsheel.com slash back. That's carshield.com slash beck.
Starting point is 00:03:55 Deductible may apply. So, you know, the president had his summit for democracy last week. And the Taiwanese minister was doing a presentation. and it was beautiful. It was wonderful. She had a little slide show that she was doing, and this is our country. And the map showed Taiwan in a different color to China, which would indicate that it's not part of China. Now, in this great little get-together for democracies, it was wonderful. wonderful. All of a sudden, her feed was cut. And she just disappeared, which is weird. Don't you think?
Starting point is 00:04:55 Stu? I mean, what are the odds? You know, there are a lot of problems with a rural internet. And this president has been trying to solve those. Oh, is that what it is? Just putting a few trillion dollars. Do you think she had dial-up internet? Dial-up? She probably had that's probably one of one. She wanted to have more internet laxia-lax. That was the issue. That's, that was the issue. Huh. Okay. All right. I didn't I didn't think of it that way but okay so Minneapolis we have some news for you Minneapolis has been the testing grounds for reimagining policing since the deaths of George Floyd and and now you know others in June 2020 the Minneapolis City Council said we are here today to begin the process of ending the Minneapolis Police Department and
Starting point is 00:05:44 creating a new transformative model for cultivating safety in Minneapolis. And I think they've done it. They've accomplished that. They've transformed things. Yeah, they have. Nine of the 13 council members said we should defund the police. Now, a little fact here. I don't even know if we can call it.
Starting point is 00:06:06 Has Facebook fact checked this yet? The Blaze has come out and said by September 2020, violent crimes had seen. spiked, as did property crimes. Even arson was up 55% compared to the same time in 2019. Just the 55%. Just 55%. Not 55,000%? No, uh-uh. Could be. No. If it wasn't for them, it would have been up 55,000%. Now, at the same time, more than 100 police officers left the department in the first nine months of 2020. By November 2020, violent carjackings had skyrocketed 533,000. percent compared to the previous year. Shocking.
Starting point is 00:06:49 Yeah. It's amazing how these things change. You know, Joe Biden ran away from his past and authoring the 94 crime bill. And sponsoring it. He was a big, he pushed for that really hard back in the 90s. You know who else pushed for that back hard at the 90s was the congressional black caucus who thought, you know what? Like, maybe it's not okay that you guys just let.
Starting point is 00:07:14 criminals run rampant over all of our communities. Huh. Maybe you should start throwing these people in jail for longer periods of time. This is the same crime bill that Joe Biden now describes as potato. Yes, as a potato. Yeah. But also has been called racist by everybody on the left today. So what was the request of the Congressional Black Caucus back then?
Starting point is 00:07:39 Uh-huh. He's racist today. Okay. Keep track. Well, now I just want to, I just want to. I just want to throw this in. The Minneapolis City Council has voted unanimously to approve $6.4 million in additional funding to the police department. Now, that was back in February 2021 as the people of Minnesota started to reimagine the politician shutting their pie holes.
Starting point is 00:08:05 Last week, Mayor Jacob Frye and the city council agreed to a $1.6 billion budget that includes $199,000,000. $91 million for the police department restoring its funding to nearly the level that was held before George Floyd was killed in 2020. So that whole experiment. It went well. It went really well. Really well. Any more good news? The number is.
Starting point is 00:08:37 This is good news Tuesday. That is good news. That is good news. That is people that arson is up 55%. No, that people are understanding now. It doesn't work. Yeah. It doesn't work.
Starting point is 00:08:50 Now, really good news. That's just good news. Really good news is that they would then fire all the politicians and they would go, boy, who was it that said we should do that? That was a really bad idea and fire those people. But the problem is, I mean, you have, you know, all the money in the world, Minneapolis. If I'm a cop, I don't think I'm coming to work for you because I don't. don't trust you. Oh, I wouldn't work in that city if my life depended on it.
Starting point is 00:09:19 No. At least the police department. And, you know, at some point, like, do we stop and say, you know, how stupid do you have to be to believe that would have worked in the first place? I mean, how dumb do you have to be to think that that was a good option? I, because
Starting point is 00:09:34 at some level, you might have the... Still? The typical politician who might believe ideologically that There's some bizarre way to route yourself through the mental gymnastics that would be required to say that getting rid of police is going to lower crime. Cabbage patch dolls. But what about the average Democrat who went along with this?
Starting point is 00:10:01 I mean, was there no point where you thought, you know what? Yeah, I know MSNBC is telling me this is true, but is it? Is there a moment you reconsider what they tell you? Sliding glass window. Thank you, Joe. It's a great point. But apparently not, there's no moment, is there? This never happens.
Starting point is 00:10:20 No. There's never a point where they say, they back and say, gosh, you know. But there is a point, I really truly believe. There is a point that the American people say, oh, okay. And it's happening right now. It's happening. People are, look at the ratings of MSNBC and CNBC and, or I mean, CNN. You look at CNN.
Starting point is 00:10:42 By the way, did you see Jake Tapper and Amy Kornb. Klobuchar? I saw a little bit of that. Yeah. Okay. I love this. So I don't think we, do we have the video? Oh, let me just describe it. Amy Klobuchar was sitting next to Ted Cruz. And they're sitting in Congress next to each other. Here's the clip of Amy Klobuchar and Jake Tapper talking about that picture. Listen.
Starting point is 00:11:16 There's something that happened Friday that I wanted to ask you about if we can bring up the picture. You were at the funeral for former Senator Bob Dole, and you were seated. There you are. You're seated next to a Republican Senator Ted Cruz, who, as everybody can see, is not masked, despite rules at the National Cathedral requiring all guests to wear mask indoors. Now, you're a breast cancer survivor. You're still recovering, I guess. I'm 100% better, but you're still at risk of infection because of this fight that you won.
Starting point is 00:11:52 What was going through your mind there where Ted Cruz pulls up next to you and doesn't have a mask on, even though the rules are please wear a mask to protect, you wear the masks to protect other people. I think people should wear masks, especially when they're in settings when they're supposed to. I think part of our deal. Stop here. So much to say. So much to say. First of all, Jake,
Starting point is 00:12:15 is sitting next to Amy Klobuchar, who is, I guess, immune compromise, very vulnerable. He's not wearing a mask. She's not wearing a mask. Jack, aren't you putting her life in danger? Or Jake, aren't you putting her life in danger? I mean, that looks pretty dangerous to me. The second thing is, could we go back to just roll that
Starting point is 00:12:39 and look at the picture of Ted Cruz sitting next to Amy Globuchar? there it is, you'll see he's not wearing a mask, nor is the guy behind Ted Cruz. Right. And her mask is below her nose. Below her nose, yeah. So, it's so weird. It's insane. I mean, look, you know, this has gone on forever.
Starting point is 00:13:04 There's some weird thing that people think that, like, cameras cure COVID-19. We're like, if you need to make a speech and you need people out there, you know, the biggest example of this to me, and I've literally never heard it explained, is why Jen Saki never wears a mask. Correct. In her press conferences. She is in, you know that room. It is really tight.
Starting point is 00:13:24 It's so tiny. There's tons of people in there. Every reporter is wearing a mask. And at times, they're arguing. Peter Ducey is sitting there saying, wait, asking a question to Jen Saki about why someone didn't wear a mask. And she's answering it without a mask. He's asking it with a mask.
Starting point is 00:13:41 So the really weird thing. is Stu, how far are we? We were about 36 inches. We're about a yard away. Yeah, maybe four feet maybe. Yeah. So this is, I am farther away from you than I am when I was sitting with Bill O'Reilly in his studio. Okay.
Starting point is 00:13:58 And you'd sit at his desk. Those desks are really small, all right? Amy is no further away than you and I are right now. Those studios, you are, it looks like you're far away, but you're not. They're probably three to four feet away. It's six feet that you're supposed to be. But again, a camera will make it look like you're far away. You're on top of each other.
Starting point is 00:14:33 And everybody is in the newsroom is on top of each other. And I will bet you that when the, When the cameras are on, the people around them might have a mask, might, might have a mask. But nobody else is. You may be right up in the elevator as you come off the street at CNN with a mask on. You hit the floor and you're working. You're not wearing a mask. The anchors aren't wearing a mask.
Starting point is 00:15:01 The guests aren't wearing a mask. Your makeup people will be wearing a mask, but nobody else. And, of course, the masks are completely ineffective anyway. That's why it's important to point out where what the dumb thing is here. The dumb thing is not that they're, you know, we shouldn't be saying, hey, when you're on CNN, you should be wearing masks while doing your interviews. That's not the correct solution here. The correct solution is to not do the segment.
Starting point is 00:15:23 You don't do a segment where you're criticizing Ted Cruz while you're not wearing a mask. Obviously, their decision as to, I'm sure, vaccinated people sitting in the same room together, talking to each other and not wearing masks is totally appropriate. That is actually what they should be doing is sitting there and not worrying about masks. They're going to do almost nothing in the situation anyway. Have they had the third vaccine? I don't know what they've had. I would guess they have.
Starting point is 00:15:50 They have the third one because this one, this one we're now being told. This one's going to be the one. This is the one that's going to do it. You're going to be able. You have this third one. Now they said that after the second one. But this time, get it if you want or don't get it if you want. Whatever.
Starting point is 00:16:06 The point is, if you're going to get it. and you think it does something, then doing a television show without a mask is completely sane, right? What's insane is acting as if Ted Cruz put her in danger, right? That is what's insane about the situation. And then acting as if it's, you know, this terrible offense against a cancer victim, I mean,
Starting point is 00:16:27 are you have any sense that you're sitting across from this same person who still used to have cancer and you don't have a mask on? No, they don't. How can you possibly be critical of Cruz? Because no one says anything to them. They don't even think this way anymore. They don't. They are not self-analyzing because no one in their little bubble ever pushes them.
Starting point is 00:16:50 By the way, for those of you who are keeping track in London, we found out yesterday there was one death of Omicron. So that is one. So the official score, Alec Baldwin won. Amacron won. To be fair, we don't know how many Alec Baldwin is called. Thank you. You're exactly right.

It's the little things like family and friends and... Shut up in there, you kids! I'm trying to talk on a radio! And it's not what kind of China you have on your table. Although that's not quite true because Cousin Mildred's always commenting on that. But anyway, happy holidays. From the Glenn Beck
Starting point is 00:19:13 program, to you. Let's go to Rob in Indiana. Hello, Rob, you're on the Glenn Beck program. Oh, my God, I can't believe it. I know, me too. I'm talking to Rob, and I was like, didn't I just say yesterday? If I could finally talk to Rob, in one day, I'm going to be able to do it. How you doing, Rob? One up, too.
Starting point is 00:19:34 Holy good. I'm doing great, man. Great. Hey, you know, I've been with you guys a long time. Back to the rallies for America. Holy cow. Whoa. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:44 And, you know, I would give anything to hear one more. we're going to have a Murray head weekend out of stew. That's really going back. That is. That is. That is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a Murray head weekend.
Starting point is 00:20:00 Anyway, anyway, I just, you know, when Rush passed, I just wish, you know, one time I could have told him thanks. And I'm telling you the same thing. You guys are like a lifeboat to some of us. You think. Rob, that is really nice of you to say. And the way you said it was really worth the $30 that we paid him.
Starting point is 00:20:27 Yeah. Don't you think? I mean, it came off really sincere and especially with a crack in your voice and stuff. Rob, thank you so much. It really means a lot. And we feel the same way about Rush. I miss him. I've been thinking about him a lot lately.
Starting point is 00:20:43 Yeah, you did a podcast, we should point out with both Snurdley. Yeah. Mr. Snurdley who. Did you know he was black? Yes, I was aware. Wow. I know. No idea.
Starting point is 00:20:53 But he, of course, worked with Rush for many, many years. And, you know, he in the interview pointed out, of course, how great Rush's audience was. But he, I mean, they noticed, they loved our audience, too. Everybody over at Rush. He said off the air, some really nice things that, you know, Rush had said about this audience and the show and everything else. And it was very, very cool. We miss him as well. Matthew in Delaware.
Starting point is 00:21:20 How are you? Good, sir. How are you doing today? Very good. I just called in. I wanted to just talk about like, how are we supposed to go forward, especially in regards to having conversations with people? We saw it a lot with the written house thing.
Starting point is 00:21:35 People were just genuinely misled and misinformed, and I hate that term. But they were. But with that, there was a clear video that we can show people and inform them of what actually happened. But with the vaccines and COVID, it's a lot harder. I remember the UK technical data came out and it showed that, it showed when the vaccines were originally losing their efficacy. And I went to show that data to somebody about a week later and it was gone.
Starting point is 00:22:02 They previously had it broken down by AIDS showing who was in the hospital, who was vaccinated and unvaccinated. And they pulled it back and edited it and posted it back out again. And it's one of those things where I hate to be, like angry or frustrated with people for not knowing something that they literally can't get a hold of, you know, and I understand not everybody can follow these things like I or you all do at the blaze. So it's just hard to try to figure out what's supposed to do about. So hang on just a second, because I want to address this.
Starting point is 00:22:34 Will you hold after the break? I'll address your comment. We're in the final countdown now, not only to Murray Head weekend, but also Christmas.

Hey, don't forget, join us at blaisTV.com for a Murray Head weekend all weekend long. All right, all right. Let's get back to the phones.
Starting point is 00:24:17 We had Matthew on from Delaware just a few minutes ago, and your question, again, can you restate it, Matthew? you? Yes, pretty much just how do we go forward in trying to talk to people and have conversations about all these things that we're dealing with when they are genuinely misinformed about what the situation is, specifically regarding COVID and how the actual truth about all of this stuff is so hard to get a hold of and it's constantly being changed and kind of all the odds are stacked against us, you know? So Matthew, let me go through a couple of things. First of all, you have to, when you have a discussion with somebody, not an argument, a discussion with somebody. Correct.
Starting point is 00:25:05 You need to start with, are you set in your ways to where if I provide information that is factual that you will reconsider or possibly change your mind? Because if you do that with me and you have things that I don't know, I'll check into them. But if they turn into, if they are facts, then I would be, I would be a horrible citizen and really kind of a bad person if I didn't change my mind. So you need to preface it, right? You need to preface it with that. Then you also need to say, because some of these things, most of our problems, you know, for instance, with coronavirus, my problem is not just, you know, does the, does the vaccine work, or is it a therapeutic, et cetera, et cetera. Mine is based on the Bill of Rights. Our biggest problem should be that you're being forced to take it.
Starting point is 00:26:13 If you're not forced to take it, then you take it if you want to. And that's Bill of Rights. So I have started all of my discussions with people that I don't know. Do you believe in the Bill of Rights as written? If they say no, then you can move on. Now, here's the problem. You are exactly right when it comes to the facts being deleted, the facts changing. But we are living now in a world that is, if you are uninformed, it is self-imposed.
Starting point is 00:26:49 And here's what I mean by that. Back in the 1930s, we didn't know if the Germans were really rounding people up. Even the Germans didn't know for sure, but they were on the edge of self-imposed ignorance. It only took somebody asking a few questions. You know, it could get you killed, but asking a few questions. Here in the West, generally speaking, we didn't know the difference. between conspiracy fact and conspiracy theory. We didn't know if they were really rounding them up.
Starting point is 00:27:26 We had heard rumors of that. As they turned out, they were true. But until we had evidence of that, it was a conspiracy theory. We are now living in a world where we know and have access to the truth. If you really, what is the difference between us? Remember, it is our president, President Trump, that was the one behind this vaccine. He took credit for it. He deserves credit for it in some ways.
Starting point is 00:27:59 And it was his. They were the ones that were skeptical. Why did that suddenly flip? I can tell you when I became against the vaccine, and I've not really against it, but when I became very skeptical of it. and that is when they started acting so bizarrely against all reason and when they started forcing people to take it. When did the other side flip? When did the other side say, I'm not going to take this vaccine if it comes from Donald Trump?
Starting point is 00:28:37 And then all of a sudden, because it was administered by Joe Biden, they're not willing to question any of it. So it's all politics. Now, here's where it really gets, I think, we really get into trouble. I don't know if you saw the story that came out last week, but that lawsuit filed by John Stossel, you've been following this, too? Yeah. The lawsuit filed by John Stossel says he was defamed by fact check. Now, fact check is part of something from Facebook.
Starting point is 00:29:12 And they labeled a video that he made. as misleading. Facebook or META's attorneys say that Facebook's fact check, you ready? Is an opinion, not an actual check of the facts and declaration of the facts. And under the libel law, opinions are protected from liability for libel. Okay, so here's what they actually filed. This is the quote from Facebook's complaint. the label themselves are neither false nor defamatory.
Starting point is 00:29:49 To the contrary, they constitute protected opinion. Beyond the threshold of Section 230 problem, the complainant also fails to state claim for defamation. For one, Stoffel fails to plead the facts for establishing that meta acted with actual malice, which is a public figure he must. For another, Stossel claims focus on the fact check articles written by climate feedback, not the labels affixed through the Flay Facebook platform. The labels themselves are neither false nor defamatory.
Starting point is 00:30:21 To the contrary, they constitute, and I'm quoting, protected opinion. This is something that you need to share with your friends. You need to have this almost printed up in a little card that you keep with you. This is Facebook's defense on, against the defamation claim of John Stossel. John Stossel says this is not misleading. These are the facts. So fact check came out and said,
Starting point is 00:30:58 no, that's misleading. John knows the facts. No, it's not misleading. These are the facts. And he went to court to challenge them on the facts. And what did Facebook do so they wouldn't lose a lot of money? they said those are protected opinions, not actual facts that Facebook was providing. So amazing what lawsuits reveal.
Starting point is 00:31:28 Yeah, it really is. It really is. So how can protected opinion trump and be the final word on facts? I know what I can and can't say, you know, in the Facebook rules. No. However, fact check that are merely opinions hurt my credibility, my name, my distribution. I'm made into a conspiracy theorist or somebody who is sloppy on the facts. I know when it comes to the coronavirus, we will admit anything that we get wrong, but we work really hard to get right. we don't go off half cocked
Starting point is 00:32:13 when we know we're posting something when I know I'm saying something outside of an opinion I want to make sure that we have facts and I use facts to back up my opinion but my opinion is just that an opinion not a fact the fact that I said the opinion
Starting point is 00:32:39 now that's a fact but I mean it's an opinion and you when opinions Trump facts civilizations cannot stand
Starting point is 00:32:53 when the Germans denied the gas chambers and said they were all conspiracy theories well it could have been a conspiracy theory because it was only backed up by whispers questions and theories
Starting point is 00:33:09 But when we had photographs, documents, and eyewitnesses, only fools or knaves would deny those things. And we call those people Holocaust deniers because they are denying the fact of the Holocaust. Now, the problem here is with the left, this is all by design. Cass Sunstein, who was working for the president, President Obama, advocated and still advocates calling everyone who disagrees with, let's say, critical race theory. They claim that that's a conspiracy theory. Critical race theory? It's not being taught in schools. How many times have you heard that?
Starting point is 00:34:00 It's not being taught in schools. That's a conspiracy theory. That's Cass Sunstein. that is the recommendation by Cass Sunstein to the administration and to the left to label people conspiracy theories, quote, even if the claim or the charge ends up being true. We know you can't call milk or meat organic without standards. Why? Because if it's just an opinion, no, this is my opinion. It's organic.
Starting point is 00:34:36 label means nothing, nothing. We cannot call a vaccine a therapeutic. And you can't call a therapeutic a vaccine until recently without a very good reason. That one really makes no sense. Who cares what you call it? Honestly, like the whole complaint they have are people that are against vaccines. Probably calling it a therapeutic would benefit everybody if they really want people to take it. So how can Facebook claim they're checking facts?
Starting point is 00:35:06 when they are when their facts are merely opinion the damage is can't be undone and this is why your friends won't believe you it's a well orchestrated plan all documented read cast stunts just look them up read cast sunstein this was well orchestrated read rules for radicals it says the same thing and your friends if they won't go in and look at the other side and I say the same thing about you if you are presented with facts that you can go and check and you're not willing to change your mind if they prove to be true well then you've joined a religion and that is the problem wokeism is a religion the Democrats have done given over the party to religious zealots.
Starting point is 00:36:13 They are revolutionaries and they ask for faith, not facts. Give a man a fish and he'll probably eat for a day. Give a man a protein bar and he'll hit you with a tire iron because they suck, quite honestly. Until Billed bar, you give man a built bar. And if he's like me, he'll avoid eating it until one day. when there's no food in the house and then he'll try it and he'll be like, why didn't I eat this a long time ago? It's delicious.
Starting point is 00:36:47 Build bar. I eat every built bar like it is my last or somebody else's last if they're not looking. They're actually healthy for you. They're high in protein, fiber, low in carbs, low in calories, and you'd never know it by the way they taste. They're made with real chocolate. I mean, they taste like a candy bar.

Starting point is 00:37:35 I'm Nate. I finally get to talk to you. Yeah. Thank you, Angie. Me too. I get to talk to you. Nate. I just want to talk about the sweet.
Starting point is 00:37:45 of the items and stores, the empty shelves, and my husband is in the National Guard, he has to quit because they're not going to be giving raises or anything for the technician jobs for at least 18 months. And it's just getting very, very tight in the world. Right. You're in Pennsylvania. And, I mean, it is, it's ridiculous to think that, the the average person is not noticing these things. You know, I think everyone, rich and poor, can go to the gas station and notice that inflation at the gas station is happening.
Starting point is 00:38:29 I think anyone can go in rich or poor and buy meat or milk and go, wow, that's different. The ones that it really hurts are the ones towards the bottom of the scale. the closer you are to the poverty line, the more those things hurt you. And, you know, when he said, I'm not going to raise your taxes. And we said, inflation is the hidden tax. I hope people understand that. And it does no good to wallow in this and say, we were right and he was wrong because people are truly, truly hurting right now because of inflation.
Starting point is 00:39:12 we just have to focus right now on making sure that we keep people awake and we tell them because so far nothing has been effective coming from this administration on blaming this inflation on anybody else. But I wouldn't trust that that's going to be the case a year from now. They'll probably stumble onto something that will work. We just need to make sure that we are teaching our friends. while they are teachable because the religion hasn't kicked in yet, that these things come from money printing.
Starting point is 00:39:51 These things come from massive spending at the federal government level. And, you know, the good news is, I think it's 55% say right now that inflation is being caused by the federal government and printing money. and the build back better bill, that thing is known by almost everyone now. Looking at a $2 trillion or $1.9 trillion bill, most everybody, including Democrats, are now starting to say, uh, that's only going to make things worse. It's not going to make it better. Thank you so much.

Starting point is 00:42:34 8 at 8-8-7-27-B-E-C-K. I want to hear about the economy, the shortage that you might be finding or the fact that you've gone out Christmas shopping in there. You're getting everything you want. Anyway, I want to hear
Starting point is 00:42:49 what's impacting you. 8.8-7-27-B-E-C-K, also the things that we have missed, or you want to clarify an opinion or tell us, we got it wrong someplace. 8-8-7-27-B-E-C-K, we begin in 60 seconds. Sometimes when you get home at the end of a hard day, the very last thing you want to do is cook a meal for your family. I mean, you could order something, but the pizza delivery guy is, you know, practically on a first name basis with everybody in the house.
Starting point is 00:43:22 And that's kind of a problem. This is the part in the story where you usually send your children out, the mean streets, and tell them don't come back until they've found dinner. Just I don't care if it's a raccoon. Just bring it in because we're not eating out anymore. Can't do it. And then we'll take that raccoon and we'll put it on a rec tech. Now, I'd like to say that a rec tech could make a raccoon taste good, but I don't think that's true.
Starting point is 00:43:49 You're still going to be eating a raccoon. The rec tech, however, will take anything that you do make, like a steak or hamburgers, and it can grill them. It can smoke them. It can make incredible ribs. It can also bake. You can fire up a pizza in it. It is tremendous. It's rec tech.
Starting point is 00:44:12 It's the best out there on the market, especially when you look at the price. There's nothing in its class. but I still think even against the most expensive, it is the best out there. It's R-T-T-T-E-K-T-E-K-E-K-E-K-K-E-K-K-E-K-K-E-K-K-R-E-C-T-E-K-E-K-R-E-T-E-E-K-E-K-R-E-T-E-E-E-K-E-E-E-T-E-E-E-E-G-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-G-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-G-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-G. My husband and I I've been married for 11 years, and when we were dating, he asked me if I was a Democrat or a Republican, and I asked him what he was, and he said he was a Republican. I said, okay, I guess I'll go with Republican. Oh, wow. And over the past 10 years, I've been listening to you, and you've opened my eyes to a lot of things, and I'm just truly grateful for it because now I'm raising three kids, and I know
Starting point is 00:45:14 what to watch out for a lot more, and I kind of see you as modern-day John the Baptist to be honest. He was beheaded, so let's not go there. But I appreciate. I appreciate it. I appreciate. Well, thank you very much. That is, that is very kind of you. So are you still a Republican, or are your eyes opened up enough to go, oh, not sure. That's always the right answer. It's not always the right answer, but, you know, I just, I make every decision by prayer. Perfect. To be honest. Perfect. But you're talking about inflation and shortages and everything. And I've got to tell you, I've got two one-year-old or almost one-year-old twins, and you haven't known panic until you're staring at the formula aisle and the dairy-free formula that your kids need is not on the shelf anywhere.
Starting point is 00:46:10 You know, I've driven as far as two hours away from my home to find their formula. I don't think people have any concept. of what's coming our way and how dangerous the situation that we find ourselves in is. I mean, we have demonized the Donald Trump idea of America first. That doesn't mean everyone else last. It just means we have to take care of our own. And, you know, I've compared this to lifeboats. and the border.
Starting point is 00:46:51 You can't keep taking people into the lifeboat or we'll all drown. That doesn't mean you don't have compassion. It means you have to take care of yourself first to be able to put the mask on yourself before you put the mask on your child. Why? Because if you pass out because you don't have oxygen, you both die. That's why. and that is a compassionate thing to do.
Starting point is 00:47:20 And we are in a situation to where if we, God forbid, would go to war or we would have a real serious disruption where we're not getting anything from China for a long time, we don't make our own medicine right now. We don't even have the chemicals. We don't even get them anymore from here. We have to buy the raw materials overseas. This is foolish. Foolish. And we've got to wake up to that. Thanks, Brittany, for your phone call.
Starting point is 00:47:56 Let me go to Jeff in Arizona. Hi, Jeff. Hey, Glenn, great to talk with you. I want to get right to my idea, which is about chaos and actually promoting chaos. And I think some of your set up today about the backdrop of the defund, the police. debacle in Minneapolis and even your talk about
Starting point is 00:48:18 Cass Sunstein and Ruralt Heretical strips right in. So have you, how long have you listened to me, Jeff? How long have you listened to me? Oh, back in the days of Fox. Okay. So do you know where I stand on chaos before you start? No.
Starting point is 00:48:34 Okay. All right, well, go ahead and I'll let you know. You're pro-C chaos. Are you, yeah, go ahead. He's Captain Chaos. Yeah, go ahead. So, yeah, a lot of, you know, a lot of folks in your lineup, And I think you hold this position as well.
Starting point is 00:48:47 You know, Steve Dase and Daniel Horowitz and others realize the fact that we are living through a revolution. Yes, we are. And actually, it's not just right now. It's been for 100 years, you know, Marxism imported from Europe. And so one comment that's often made is that it's only the other side that's fighting. And so I want to point out that in a revolution, a revolution is always asymmetric warfare to use some warfare terms. And in Rules for Radicals, you know, you just mentioned this, Olinsky preaches using the system against itself,
Starting point is 00:49:23 using the methods of the system against itself. And we are given the rights to assemble and redress our government's issues. And so I'm suggesting limited chaos. We're in a time frame, as you've mentioned, that the inflation is going to go for a while, and we've got four years of these crazy leftists in power. let's have limited chaos to prove the failure, prove the failure of their systems. And I want to say real quickly, I'm not in favor of serious problems, monetary problems like getting
Starting point is 00:49:55 Saul Amarova in. I'm not in favor of people dying like Taiwan being taken over by China. But here's a good example. If the left, if the Democrats try to impeach Biden, let's not go with it. Let's keep them in. Let's keep the chaos going as long as we can. control the Congress in this next election cycle. So limited chaos will lead to the exposure of the failure of their systems. Okay, first of all, here's where I stand on chaos. Who is the author
Starting point is 00:50:23 of chaos? Yeah, it's a great point. Yeah, it's a pretty good point. What I think is fighting for freedom, because we all know we have to fight for me. So may I, may I change your, may I change your terminology? Because I don't think you're talking about limited chaos. What you're talking about is possibly one of two things and maybe the combination. Civil disobedience, which is not chaos, civil disobedience and allowing people to feel the full ramification of their choice. And that's the best thing that happened to Donald Trump is that he didn't win this last, well, you know what I'm saying. He's not. He's not. not in office, because people are waking up and seeing what they're preaching isn't working.
Starting point is 00:51:22 And the best thing that could have happened to Donald Trump and his campaign and the Republicans is for this nightmare, which I wish on no one, but this nightmare of inflation, it is the difference that we have been missing. Americans have felt comfortable through everything, including the bank bailout, which was absolutely wrong, but they were saved from the real true pain of all of the mistakes of the past. Yes, people suffered in 2008, but apparently it wasn't enough and it wasn't certainly the right people suffering, the ones who actually caused it. Now, the people who have caused this are in office.
Starting point is 00:52:10 but people voted them in and listened to all of these lies. They're waking up now and going, wait a minute, that doesn't work. And if you're asking for allowing people to feel the pain of their own mistakes, that's not chaos. Those are consequences. And I think they should be expressed. Let me use another word that comes from our lexicon that you'll understand. That fits right in is we're really having a great discussion here.
Starting point is 00:52:39 Maybe the proper word is sacrifice. We need to sacrifice, as they did in the civil rights movement, as others have before us. You know, there is going to be chaos because they've brought it. The author of chaos has brought it. We need to sacrifice in the fight against it. If people need to, and amen, I want to say amen to my brothers and sisters out there across America who have maybe even given up their jobs to fight against this. Yes, I agree with that.
Starting point is 00:53:06 I agree with that. Thank you so much. but don't ever don't ever push for chaos civil disobedience yes play within the system
Starting point is 00:53:22 that we are in far as the laws as they are righteous if they start making laws like the vaccine mandate well that's I'm sorry I'm not going to abide
Starting point is 00:53:37 Will I go to jail for that? Maybe, but that's a consequence of me not abiding by a law that I think is wrong. And we have to point those things out, and we have to be able to accept the consequences of all of those things. Let me go to Jason. Hello, Jason in New Jersey. Welcome. Hey, good morning. It's a pleasure talking to you, and I enjoy you guys' program.
Starting point is 00:54:07 and I used to. I listened to Rush Limbaugh for quite some time too, but try to give it to the point as your producer wanted me to. I drive truck. I'm from Maine, and I do flatbed hauling. And my truck is actually at the shop, the Kenwood dealership,
Starting point is 00:54:23 and they told me it could be two to three days, so I'm at a suite right now. And so when they talk about shortage of drivers, I just want to clarify something. I know you had someone on the program that talked about that for a little bit, But there's no difference in shortages since the pandemic and before the pandemic. There's always a turnover where people come in, they don't like it, they move on to something else.
Starting point is 00:54:48 Correct. That's in any job. So as a person that's been doing this through the whole COVID and going to Canada to get loads of toll paper when that used to occur, COVID. So going to the way up to be brief and runs in Canada, getting toilet paper and coming back through. Now, just recently last week, I was cutting. through Canada, and I was advised that come January 15th, if you're not vaccinated, Canada does not want you in their country. So what do you think that's going to do to the trucking industry? So when you talk about supply and demand and you put these restrictions that are stupid because
Starting point is 00:55:27 you figure I've been through Canada for the better part of the year during the whole pandemic, and now all of a sudden January 15th is the magic wand that says we can no longer allow people from the United States into Canada unless you're vaccinated. And before you even show up to the border, you're supposed to download an app on your phone and answer their COVID question here. So wait, so are you going up to Canada and getting things for America? So I was going to Canada to get total paper back when that was the crisis. But now we all know that one ply versus two ply doesn't occur COVID.
Starting point is 00:56:02 So for different products and reasons, we go to Canada for, It could be printing paper. It could be anything. But right now, doing flatbed, it was mostly getting some pellets for heating. So there is, sometimes we do do that. But come January 15th, there will be one less truck going to a candidate because I refuse to get vaccinated. You're saying that there is not currently a shortage of drivers, but are there shortages of people loading and unloading?
Starting point is 00:56:31 That is, that's my point. So when you look at when Trump was in office, what he did is, he took the restrictions off us, truck drivers. We're allowed a 14-hour day. And in that 14-hour day, 11 hours of it is drive time. And it's electronically logged. You can't fake it. Otherwise, you get a big no-no, and you can be spot for a good 34 hours.
Starting point is 00:56:51 There's a 70-hour work week you're allowed. In that 70-hour work week, when your 70 hours is up, you need a 34-hour reset. So when Donald Trump was in office and right in the middle of the pandemic, he said, listen, I'm going to make it so you can go COVID-exempt on your logs to do grocery, strictly grocery items that can include water, toll of paper, anything for the grocery stores. And that's why the supply chain didn't get affected as bad as because he took the restrictions off us. And then when you had these, when he took the big warehouses like Amazon and all these other like Walmart grocery stores, you know, the distribution centers, when you're, especially
Starting point is 00:57:27 in Maine, pulling spring water, when you're doing that line of work, it frees the truck up so as you can get to your delivery, if you're running short on time, whether it be weather in the northeast, like we've had anything that could affect your day, cars, commuting. So that allowed us to get the freight there. But once you got there, if your next load was not considered a COVID load, you had to go to the nearest truck stop and get a 10-hour reset, then to get your hours back and then get going. So what happens when you restrict our truck drivers,
Starting point is 00:57:57 like California has their rules with what they'll allow for trucks in there, that's not helping getting the supply out. And then when you have a shortage of warehouses that are infected with COVID, they go from 300 people down to 100 people. Guess what? Now you got trucks sitting, even though they made the appointment time for one o'clock in the afternoon and they didn't get unloaded bill six. That choose into their hours.
Starting point is 00:58:18 Now that driver had five hours in his book to go get the next hour, but because he got held up, he no longer has those five hours. Jason, thank you for explaining that. That's great information. By the way, there is a shortage now of people they say, especially in the Northeast, people that are willing to plow and salt the roads or sand the roads. This is going to cause even more problems. This one, I just read this morning, I can't remember where it was Federalist or Wall Street.
Starting point is 00:58:52 I can't remember. But the shortage looks like it's being caused by those people who are just not willing to go back to work, especially with something risky, like going. and plowing the roads, et cetera, et cetera, and hard work, a lot of them aren't willing to go to work. If you are somebody who can drive a truck and you can drive a salt truck, I would beg of you to go back to work and make sure those roads are clear at least for the trucks so we can get supplies to and fro. Well, most of us, it's a season of giving, but it's also the season of taking.
Starting point is 00:59:34 If you happen to be a cybercriminal, it's the most of the most of the season of giving. It's the most wonderful time of the year for them as well because you're doing a lot of shopping online, which makes you very vulnerable.

Starting point is 01:00:48 This is Matthew in Oklahoma. Hello, Matthew. How are you, sir? Yeah, can you pick up your phone? I'm sorry. That's all right. That's all right. Hey, good morning, Glenn, Stu.
Starting point is 01:01:04 Thank you for taking my call. You bet. Thanks. Hey, Glenn, I wasn't sure what visibility you guys had on what's going on in the military. I know that it's been discussion in the public. in the past, but I'm currently in the process of trying to retire, but the vaccine mandate is obviously causing some issues, and I applied for the religious accommodation, but by knowledge, yeah, none of those are going to happen.
Starting point is 01:01:32 I don't think any of them have been granted. Mine was turned down. And the January, or there was a deadline of June 30th, I believe, but what I've been told is January 1st is actually the deadline. What they want to do is anybody that is not given the shot or agreed to take the shot is all of that administrative and punitive action is going to take place between January 1st and June 30th. I have almost 30 years. I'm also a partially disabled veteran. And what will happen is if they do a dishonorable discharge, I lose obviously my retirement, but I also lose my disability.
Starting point is 01:02:14 through the VA as well. So have you called your senator? I did. I did just last week. All of this came about pretty quick. I was told that if I don't go get it, I'm disobeying a lawful order. And so I did reach out to my center. In fact, I just received a message
Starting point is 01:02:30 while I was waiting that said that they had contacted the Department of the Army. Okay. So you call me I'm going away. All I can tell you is you need to call your senator, call your congressman, get them working on your case, make sure that, you know, it's, that somebody is following it because there is an effort now in Congress and in the Senate to make sure that no one is dishonorably discharged and that everyone gets their benefits if they are leaving because they won't take the vaccine. just don't think that will stand. They're not going to do that
Starting point is 01:03:19 to veterans and get away with it. At least, at least they might until the Republicans get in charge and then they'll be restored. Nothing more evil than that, in my opinion. But there's a line from one of the greatest movies ever made.
Starting point is 01:03:37 Frodo says, what are we holding on to, Sam? Sam says that there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. and it's worth fighting for. Love that. Love that. You and I belong to what could be the last generation in America who knows what it's like to be
Starting point is 01:03:56 truly free unless things change. That's partly on us, partly on our children, and we have to, we have to equip them for this task. The best way to do it is with the Tuttle Twins Books.com. You know, if you've learned. anything from the Lord of the Rings. There's all kinds of messages, great messages in that. And that's the way we learn the best when it's tied to a great story.
Starting point is 01:04:26 So whether you want to teach your kids about the economy, the real meaning of freedom, how we get their limited government, tuttledwinsbeck.com. This is a gift that needs to be under the tree for toddlers to teens. Tuttle twinsbeck.com. head over to blazedt v.com slash glen the promo code is glen to save ten bucks off your subscription to blaze tv this is the glenbeck program let me go to susan in ohio hello susan welcome to the glenbeck program well i'm concerned about the inflation and the effect that the impact it has on me this year i'm really concerned about the effects of inflation and the middle class
Starting point is 01:05:16 families as it begins to take away all their assets all the general growth and I think we don't talk enough about that. I know we want things immediate, but I would like just please talk a little bit more about the loss of family farms and businesses and what happens. Well, I think, generation to the next.
Starting point is 01:05:37 Right. I think that we, those are not solely tied to inflation. Inflation will, your nest egg will go away because if your salary doesn't go up with inflation, then you're going to have to start dipping into your savings, so your savings goes away.
Starting point is 01:06:00 If we start working in a world where, as the president keeps saying, well, you've got to pay your people more. If you do that in a high inflation period, which we are in now, if you do that, you start the inflation spiral. Wages go up and thus, prices continue to go up. And so you're constantly battling. That's why when you ordered food in a restaurant of, in Germany, you paid for it when you ordered. I would like a cup of coffee, please.
Starting point is 01:06:32 It's a quarter. Great. Here's the quarter. Because 15 minutes later, 30 minutes later, when it got so bad, it might be 35 cents for that cup of coffee. So you paid when you ordered. That's the inflation spiral. and that's going to happen. But when it comes to losing your family farm, that's more than just inflation.
Starting point is 01:06:56 You're going to lose farms because people can't afford it. But there are things that are going on in the United States right now and the government that are going to take those family farms. They are going to start limiting those farms. They're going to start regulating those farms. They're going to tax them. to death. Remember, the goal of the Great Reset is by 2030, you will own nothing. Well, how do you get a society that is built on ownership, private ownership? How do you get that society to not own anything?
Starting point is 01:07:35 You bankrupt it. That's what you do. You bankrupt it. Thanks for your phone call, Susan. So what do you, where do you see the economy going here? For example, one of the things, that I don't think a lot of people are talking about is since COVID started, the Trump administration basically turned off the requirement to pay your student loans, you know, and they said, okay, you know, we're in the middle of a pandemic. You don't have to pay your student loans right now. Turn the interest rates down to zero. Let's ride this out. And so that's been extended multiple times by first the Trump administration and then into the Biden administration. Biden is now saying that come next year, it's over, right? I think it's just. I think it's just.
Starting point is 01:08:18 January, you're now going to have to start making those payments a lot again. And you think about all the money that people owe and they've had this ramp of not paying it. Now these payments turn back on in the middle of a very disconcerting economic time. So that turns on. Inflation is there. All of this backlog with the supply chain all working together at the same time. What does that look like? A mess?
Starting point is 01:08:48 It's why you're not hearing anybody saying, oh, well, this year's been bad, but next year will be better. There's no way. I can't wait for 2020. Yeah. You're not hearing that. And I think that's because people know you've got something else that you have to pile on here. People are going to be watching what the Fed decides to do this week because the Fed has to raise interest rates and they also have to taper. And what they've been doing, and we've been telling you this.
Starting point is 01:09:18 2008 what they've been doing is they've been buying our our federal debt okay instead of selling it to countries no country will buy it so the Fed has been buying that debt which just adds to their balance sheet then they've been printing money uh as well and they've been shipping that money uh to the banks and the banks have been using it uh to buy stocks and everything else so they can they can they can put their balance sheet in order. You have had these bailouts going on really since 2008, and it just kept getting worse and worse and worse. They're tapering all of that now, which means they're turning that tap of cash off that's
Starting point is 01:10:07 really flowing into the market. So they have to turn that off. When they turn that off, that's going to cause problems with the bank. It's going to cause problems in the stock market. It's going to cause all kinds of problems because the money flow from the Fed, not the federal government, from the Fed is tapering off. Then they're going to also raise interest rates, which they have to do. The way you fight inflation is to raise interest rates. But no one on earth has ever tried to suck this much money back into the system.
Starting point is 01:10:44 Get it back to the Federal Reserve and the Treasury. so it can be destroyed. No one in the history of the world has ever tried that. In 1980, Paul Volcker got our interest rates up to, I think, 15 or I believe the highest was 19. It might have been 15, but I believe it was 19%. 19%. We are now at about 3%. You want a mortgage?
Starting point is 01:11:12 3%. percent, 8% if you're in real, you know, bad way. 19%? That was in 1980. What is it going to take to get those interests, to get this inflation down after dumping $11 trillion out into the world? We have to suck that all back. The problem is, when you suck all of that stuff back, it makes money scarce. that will make inflation go down.
Starting point is 01:11:51 Okay. And you worry about a deflationary period where people can't afford anything so the prices cave. This is an incredible balance that I'm not sure they can do. And we're doing it at the worst possible time. Because we've made things so bad that if you don't have people who are willing to work, you're going to have inflation. If you then add extra salary to people to get them to work, that adds inflation. Then if you take the money from the corporations through loans to build new jobs and to expand, jobs start to become more and more scarce.
Starting point is 01:12:38 And you're just in this cycle that just spins into the drain. I think we're in for real, real trouble. over the the next year to I think it could be until a Republican gets back into into power. And we have a sane Senate and House. And I'm not saying that's a Republican one. It's just more sane than the Democrats. But until we start doing the right thing consistently and are willing to accept the pain that is coming from all of these horrible decisions, it's just going to keep getting worse.
Starting point is 01:13:18 This kind of goes back to what the earlier caller was saying. You know, you mentioned the Reagan situation. And there's no better way to emphasize, I suppose, that conservative policies are better than by implementing liberal ones, right? When they get into office and they do the things that they want to do,
Starting point is 01:13:36 people tend to wake up and say, wow, we really don't want that. We brought this up with defund the police earlier, right? Minneapolis is like, ah, well, to defund the police, holy crap, let's, let's rethink.
Starting point is 01:13:46 that a little bit and it happens pretty quickly. But we were, but we at the time, we're arguing theories. Right. And now we have evidence. Now we have evidence. And that's what's waking people up. But this is something that has been bothering me for a while, though. In all these conversations, including this previous caller, who basically said, if you
Starting point is 01:14:06 missed it, he said, you know, we need some chaos. And he explained a little nuanced explanation of that. But basically, we need to let these things happen. We need to try these sort of things. We need to fight. we need to do all these things that maybe aren't consistent with our principles per se, but we need to win right now because we're always losing. And that is like an undercurrent of almost every conservative, it seems,
Starting point is 01:14:31 that we're always losing. These things are always rolling over us and we never do anything. And therefore, we have to change everything that we're doing and try these new tactics. And, you know, go a little, get a little wild. Like, let's try some stuff. And I don't know that's so pervasive on the right right now. But when you look at what's actually happening, these, for example, the vaccine mandates are not happening because we're out in the streets causing chaos.
Starting point is 01:15:01 They're being overturned because the courts are overturning them because they're unconstitutional, right? And that's largely because of a long-term conservative legal project that has resulted in a lot of good judges that actually know what the Constitution says. We can thank a lot of this. We can put the thanks on Mike Lee, Ted Cruz, and Donald Trump. Yeah. And I think, you know, it goes back further than that as well.
Starting point is 01:15:26 But it's, but it's been a, that's a success story. Mm-hmm. Right. The possibility of Roe versus Wade being overturned. And again, I'm not counting those. And this is a weird way to talk about eggs and hatching because of the topic matter. I'm not counting that as a win. But the fact that it's even possible is because of,
Starting point is 01:15:45 of a long-term project. So why is, why do conservatives feel this pervasive sense of losing when it does seem like we're winning? Because I think conservatives, well, I think everybody generally is.
Starting point is 01:16:04 Let me give you this example. Remember I said yesterday, we don't buy when it's cheap. We buy at the top. Okay? Buy high. low. Yeah, when housing market goes crazy, you're like, I got to get a house. I got to get a house. I mean, this is crazy. Yeah, you're and you're buying it way too late. You're always behind the curve,
Starting point is 01:16:28 okay? You buy low, you sell high. We do the opposite. The same thing is true. You know, things are lagging indicators. We are a lagging indicator. There are other indications that show where winning, but we don't feel it yet. We, I think we are, we have been looking at the mainstream media as a barometer for a very long time. That hasn't changed. That's a really bad barometer, okay? And they're not changing at all.
Starting point is 01:17:06 So we look at that and we see, you know, all of the shows on TV and everything else. we're like, hey, we're surrounded by this. And we're not looking at what are the ratings? What's the health of these companies? How many people are watching them? How many people believe them anymore? Their credibility is in the toilet. I think if it's not single digits,
Starting point is 01:17:33 it's almost single digits with their credibility now. So they don't have any credibility left. when you look at his all of these policies that we've been arguing about in theory you can't reimagine the police we now have the evidence and those policies are now being reversed you can't just spend money like crazy well that's now being shown true because of the economy you can't teach this to our kids well we're not teaching it we don't believe you and the means cannot convince us that you're telling us the truth because we know the truth. We're seeing it.
Starting point is 01:18:17 We are winning on multiple fronts right now. And this is a new feeling that I had. I was really, really worried about losing and thought there are no way out, no way out. There is. There is. And it's already happening. It's the American people standing up who are awake and others waking up. waking up because they're starting to feel real pain.
Starting point is 01:18:43 All right, Patriot Mobile. Here's another way to win. Switch to Patriot Mobile right now. Get away from these big, huge corporations that are teaching their people to be less white. They're sending their money to plan parenthood, in the case of Verizon. Get away from them. You now have a choice. PatriotMobil.com slash.
Starting point is 01:19:10 Beck. Patriotmobile.com slash Beck. 972 Patriot. You can get free activation with the offer code Beck. They're going to have special discounts if you're a veteran or a first responder. They have special discounts for multi-line accounts. And you can support a company that loves America. So cut your phone bill sometimes by half. It's Patriotmobile.com slash Beck and stand with a company that stands with you. you, Patriotmobile.com slash Beck or 972 Patriot. This is the Glenn. This is the Glenn Beck program. You know, another way to show how the right is winning is we talked about Bob Costas yesterday, saying, hey, I'm not, I'm not a crazy liberal here.
Starting point is 01:20:07 Yeah. And maybe that's just the Overton window has been moved so far that Bob Costas. can say credibly, I'm not like those people, but he's still a crazy liberal, but he's just not a revolutionary Marxist. You know what I mean? That whole category of Bill Maher's essentially now. Bill Maher is another case. Look at all of the people that are starting to wake up and say, I want nothing to do with
Starting point is 01:20:31 this. Look at the courage of J.K. Rowling. This woman is amazing, amazing. War is peace. freedom is slavery ignorance is strength the penis individual who raped you is a woman that was her latest tweet yeah she's getting some heat for that oh yeah the best part about her and she she's in the same category as Elon Musk they just have so much money they can't possibly care about what you think about them can I tell you something
Starting point is 01:21:02 though it's so good you don't have to have money to create that you just have to know what you believe when people look at you and you're like yeah Yeah, I don't really care. I got nothing to lose here because I'd rather lose everything than my soul. You become a very dangerous person. And that's why they target people like J.K. Rowling. They need her to shut up and sit down. And I love the fact that for now a couple of years, she just keeps doubling down.
Starting point is 01:21:36 She's an amazing woman. Oh, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Glad you're with us. I want to continue a conversation that we were having last hour. Stu and I were talking about why is it we feel like we are losing when we're not. And I think it's because people haven't caught up yet. Winning is a new thing.
Starting point is 01:22:25 You know, I haven't really felt like we were winning in quite some time maybe since the Tea Party. And we all saw how that worked out. However, this is different. This is real change. that is happening and it's happening all across America. And I want to I want to start there and take your phone call at 888 727 B-E-C-K. Next. Christy has just written.
Starting point is 01:22:52 She's from Texas. She said, Glenn, my dog is 16 years old. She had quite a problem eating her food. She would just give up on it and she was losing weight. The vet wasn't very happy with me about it. Boy, do I know that one. I thought I'd give rough greens a try. Guess what?
Starting point is 01:23:09 It's only been a week. she's already eating again. I can tell she's gaining weight already. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I love what Rough Greens has done for my dog. Christy, thank you for writing in. It's a rough green story that I hear over and over again, and I know firsthand because of my dog, Uno.
Starting point is 01:23:25 This is not a dog food. It's a supplement that you sprinkle on the food. Dogs usually love it. It could taste amazing, apparently, to them. Meanwhile, they're getting all the vitamins and minerals and other things, probiotics that your dog needs, my dog needs. You can get a free bag of rough greens for your dog just to try out, make sure he'll eat it, and it's free. All you pay for is shipping.
Starting point is 01:23:45 Just go to roughgreens.com slash Beck, Rough Greens. RUFF Greens.com slash Beck or call 833, Glenn 33. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Stu, we were talking last hour about this feeling that we are losing somehow. Yeah, you get this a lot from conservatives right now who just obviously we're in a tough time and a lot of things have gone wrong over the past couple of years. And there's a sort of pervasive sense of constant losing. You know, the example I hear all the time is this example of like, you know, we can't just sit here and like let people have trans, you know, trans, what was it,
Starting point is 01:24:36 the story time, you know, drag queen story time. Yeah, drag queen story time. And like, yeah, of course, I would agree. It's not a, not a good thing for our society. Although, you know, I will say, It's not a recognizable part of my life. You know, I now I live in Texas where there's a lot of, you know, there's a lot of pushback. Maybe if you're living in, you know, downtown Portland, the libraries are quite different. But it does seem that there's this sense of we're constantly in this state of losing where like, you know, we're only, I mean, in 2020, Donald Trump was president. That was still going on in this year, right? obviously we're seeing the results of some of the judges and I think the legal system is held up pretty well
Starting point is 01:25:19 when it comes to all the crazy challenges that the left has brought to it in the later parts of this year that's been I think a positive and what's happening I think now you see everywhere from Afghanistan to inflation is people are seeing the results of what happens when you go the other way and that is likely to lead to positive things pretty soon down the road. Now, we've also talked about how far ahead many times progressives are with things like ESG and it makes you really doubt what the future can hold. But we also should recognize that a lot of these things
Starting point is 01:25:58 that we've tried to do over the years have worked pretty well. And we've pushed back and won a lot of these battles too. It's not a constant state of losing. The left isn't, you know, this is not, it's not Samson, in a way it is Samson, but you know what I mean it's not this unbelievable impossible victory for conservatives
Starting point is 01:26:18 we we succeed more than I think we give ourselves credit for well we we have especially recently I mean you know there is Donald Trump succeeded he succeeded probably better than any other president in my lifetime
Starting point is 01:26:37 in getting real some real changes made. For instance, the Middle East is the biggest, the biggest thing. And he demonstrated a couple of things. One, you can support Israel and not have the world come against you. You can move the embassy there. But you can also get the people in the Middle East to start siding with Israel and against Hamas, Hezbollah and terror. And he had a historic peace deal. Now it's falling apart. You don't have to negotiate with terrorists.
Starting point is 01:27:15 You don't have to give them money to get them to comply with you far as Iran. You can end wars. You don't need to have these endless ongoing wars. What you need to do is go in and hammer the bats knot out of them and then move on. And that's how he killed the caliphate. You have, you have people now in, in the conservative movement that are looking at possible war with China, possible war with Russia. And you have people who have always been very, very America first and let's go get them that are saying, I don't want war. I don't want war.
Starting point is 01:28:03 Let's mind our own business here. Let's take care of America. and thus, if we set a good example, we will change the world. That's new. We're not so hawkish as we were. Some of these things are game-changing for the Republicans. Here's something else. We don't trust the Republicans before we had, you know, these rhinos that were running,
Starting point is 01:28:37 Michael Steele that were running the Republican Party. Now I think you have voters, Republican voters, that if they had another option, somebody that they believed would actually go buck their own party, if need be, to stop playing the same game, they'd vote for them and they'd want them in. They want to get rid of these clowns in office.
Starting point is 01:29:05 and it's more mature than it was with the Tea Party. We know how the game is played now, and we don't trust that you're just going to be elected, and then you're going to go and do it. We watch you now. The other thing is, is we have been playing the game, and I see this one firsthand. I've been telling you that there are Marxists in our government
Starting point is 01:29:31 and in the Democratic Party for the last 20 years. And it has been laughed, mocked, and ridiculed. I've been called a conspiracy theorist. I've been called a racist for saying that the president was a Marxist. I've been called all kinds of names. You notice nobody's denying now that Marxists are involved in our government, that Marxists are concerned. trying to overthrow the United States that this, this revolution is truly a revolution.
Starting point is 01:30:11 Notice not a lot of people now in the middle are denying that it seems as though the Democratic Party has been taken over by radicals and revolutionaries. That was unheard of. That's a huge, huge change. Again, have you noticed that? that the press isn't listened to. Have you noticed that Jimmy Kimmel or who was it this week, Fallon, gets the president on? And he's talking about the economy.
Starting point is 01:30:47 And nobody is buying into this economy lie. And nobody's watching Fallon. Nobody's watching Kimmel. Certainly nobody's watching a bunch of dancing syringes. You know, it's. Oh, that was terrible. You don't have the power of SNL anymore because it's not funny. It's just not funny.
Starting point is 01:31:09 And it's gone through periods of not being funny. But it has now just given into we are a propaganda arm. That's all we're supposed to do is hold up the right people and make fun of the wrong people as the woke crowd decides. America isn't having any of that. that that's a huge change you're seeing movies like we talked about earlier movies are now starting to become what christian movies used to be christian movies used to be like okay i got it i got it stop being so preachy right yeah and so they always sucked this now that's what's happening to the left the left is starting to make that santa claus thing on hbo what is that that claymation
Starting point is 01:32:00 by Sarah Silverman and Seth Rogan. It's awful. It's awful because they've forgotten that it's entertainment that is much more important than the message. You can't get anybody to listen to the message. And yet we are now starting to understand entertainment and our message is gaining strength because, A, we are starting to learn how to tell stories on the right and B, the things that we always talked about that were conspiracy theories or only theories are now being proven to be true. I say something now, and it used to take, you know, 10 years before you would see it.
Starting point is 01:32:45 I can tell you now about the Great Reset and tell you that I think we're really, really behind the eight ball. But three months later, they've called it a conspiracy theory and they're discredited because they are actually. implementing it and the banks are now doing these things and you can point to them and people are paying attention to it. We are winning because people are waking up and the sides are flipping. They they had the conservatives down because they said it's all about Jesus and God and they're forcing you to live like Jesus wants you to live. Okay. That's how they, that's how they, that's how they destroyed us. Well, they are forcing people into their religion and people are understanding their religion is not based on facts. It is a faith-based religion. Just believe Fauci. That's
Starting point is 01:33:51 different than science. Believe Fauci. Believe what we say. Deny what your eyes are showing you. deny what your ears are hearing deny what your wallet is saying every time you go to the grocery store deny those things and believe us it's not going to last you can't spin your way out of milk being triple the cost you can't you can't the media doesn't have that sort of power
Starting point is 01:34:16 but let me ask you this this sort of sprung from a conversation I had with my wife on this idea that there's just this feeling of despair among the American people at times you know part of this obviously is COVID from both sides, you know, people losing loved ones and people having to deal with crazy restrictions and losing their livelihoods and all the things associated with it. And that's part of this era that I don't think you can separate. But, you know, it was after
Starting point is 01:34:40 the, the, the Wisconsin parade incident where the guy, where that SUV ran over all those people, Clinton, the out of control SUV. We said SUVs were going to kill all the planet and there it is. But after that happened, my wife, you know, we were going back and forth, I think, on text on and she said something like, you know, what is this world coming to? I can't believe what is this. And that's a totally rational like reaction to a madman running over a bunch of people at a Christmas parade, obviously. But then I, as I started thinking about it myself a little bit, we that very same weekend had gone to a Christmas parade slash festival type of thing. Unafraid. And it, unafraid. And it was awesome. We had a. We had a lot of. We had a
Starting point is 01:35:26 great time our community was gathered. There were people from, I'm sure, all over the political spectrum there, but everyone was great and we had a great time and we loved it. And at the same weekend, probably tens of thousands of communities had similar events that were fantastic and everybody loved them and they all left happy and they, you know, they had their hot cocoa and their kids were, you know, wide-eyed looking at Santa Claus and all the things that happened all over the country for so many people and almost all of them were not at this one parade that we all know about that was legitimately tragic and horrible and we need to you know we need to worry about and stop of course but it doesn't affect uh you know it probably did not affect your life it was a really terrible thing that happened and it gave the sense to even my wife who and myself who were at really wonderful events that same weekend that the whole society was falling apart.
Starting point is 01:36:31 And I mean, in reality, that's not true, right? It is not true. How do we stop that? We stop listening. And it's happening. We stop listening to the coasts. We stop listening to the coasts. But we don't, we can't not talk about that event. We can't not cover it. It's not the media saying, okay, well, don't worry about that. They seem to not want to talk about the Wisconsin parade, right? because it didn't feed their narratives.
Starting point is 01:36:56 Which is waking even more people up. The ones who responded, the ones who helped, the ones who are talking about it, were talking about it. Those generally speaking are the conservatives, the conservative movement. The ones who are ignoring this clear tragedy and a flaw in their own thinking,
Starting point is 01:37:22 their own system, they brought this upon this community. They're not talking about it. And by not talking about it, the people are noticing, especially the people in the town. Wait a minute. How come nobody's talking about us?
Starting point is 01:37:40 How come nobody's paying attention? Yeah. How come the news rooms in America just abandoned that story? People are waking up and noticing. that's the most important thing. That's what I've been saying for years. Wake up America.
Starting point is 01:37:58 Wake up. Wake up. Once you awake this sleeping giant, it's a giant and it wins. So is it important to have those things together? Being awake, noticing what's going on, understanding the world,
Starting point is 01:38:14 but also keeping it in perspective. I mean, I think that's a difficult thing for people to do when they're barraged by it constantly on social media and everything else. Well, that's why I think it's important for people like us to ring the bell of alarm, but also talk about our successes.
Starting point is 01:38:35 You know, I did not feel this way three months ago. I didn't feel this way, three, four months ago. I just didn't think we had it in us. I was giving up on the American people. I'm not there now. I really truly believe. we are well positioned for a win. Let me give you another example.
Starting point is 01:38:57 When we come back, I want to talk about the texts that came out on January 6th. They've just been released. Let me give you another example there. First, let me tell you about Tuttle Twins books. These are a must to have under your tree for Christmas. I don't care if you have teenagers or if you have toddlers. They have books for everybody.
Starting point is 01:39:19 and if you have kids or grandkids, or maybe you just want to understand it yourself, and you've never read Leviathan, or you've never read The Road to Serfdom. I've read Road to Serfdom. I haven't read Leviathan, have you? No, I don't think so. And we should.
Starting point is 01:39:35 We should all know those things if we're going to try to defend our country and our system. That's what the Tuttle Twins books do, but they break it down. I mean, literally, they break those stories down for toddlers to teens. Tuttle twinsbeck.com If you want to save the Republic,

Starting point is 01:40:20 I had them earlier this morning. You have them? These are the texts that now have been revealed by the press. and by Congress of all of the text between all of the people in on January 6th. What do the text say? Yeah, this is mainly the focus from the media has been on Fox News hosts who are texting Mark Meadows on January 6th. Laura Ingram text Mark Meadows and said, Mark, the president needs to tell people in the capital to go home.
Starting point is 01:40:50 This is hurting all of us. He is destroying his legacy. Then you had Brian Kilmead from Fox and Friends. urged Meadows in a text message to quote, please get him on TV. The riot was destroying everything you have accomplished. Hannity asked Meadows if Trump could make a statement and ask people to leave the capital. There's also a text from Donald Trump Jr.
Starting point is 01:41:14 Mm-hmm. Who called on his father to condemn the actions of the rioters and make a speech from the Oval Office. Okay. So you can say, look at the influence they had. Look at the direct access. And that's what they're doing. these Trump people were listening to Fox News people. Really?
Starting point is 01:41:31 Because I thought your argument was this was a well-coordinated effort to overthrow the government and everybody who's a conservative was in on it. It shows that the leading voice you stand against Fox News, they were against it. Even the president's son was saying, I got dad, you got to say something right now. You got to say something. So at best, you have something that was so well coordinated that only the president was involved. Right, right. Okay?
Starting point is 01:42:06 You've made the point here. You've destroyed your own point. Right. Because it seems like the media is trying to basically say, well, you've heard dismissive comments from Fox News hosts about the seriousness of January 6th. But in the moment, they knew how serious it was and were touching the president. They knew how it. They knew, but that is in the moment when you don't know what's coming next. Stop it right now.
Starting point is 01:42:33 Why you're having dismissive is because they're labeling us dismissive because we say it wasn't as bad as the Civil War. Right. To them, that's dismissive. To us, that's the truth. But every American, every American, maybe 5% disagree with this. They did not want that to happen. And by the way, in that 5% Antifa that wants chaos. So the CEO of Goldman Sachs just said publicly that he expects lower returns on the stock market for a few years.
Starting point is 01:43:14 The stock market is overinflated and it's overinflated by money that has been coming from the Fed. Now that the Fed, we'll know this week, is going to start ratcheting that money down, you're going to see the stock market start to go down as they raise interest rates. You're going to see all kinds of bad things. As you see inflation go up, whether it's from money printing or people not willing to work or both in this case, you're going to see problems. And eventually all of this would mean a dollar that is worthless. And they're going to have to change to something.

Starting point is 01:44:41 They need you. They want you. This is Solilinsky. You've got to feel defeated. But you're not. You're not even close. We are close to defeating them. It's only a matter of time if we continue to show courage and stand up.
Starting point is 01:45:01 up and stand up together arm and arm. And writing stuff for my son recently because he is, he's getting ready to, you know, graduate and move out on his own and been trying to, I know, is horrifying as you say that. Horrifying.

Starting point is 01:45:49 Be brave Let me go to Chris in New York Hello Chris Hi how are you Glenn You bet So I'm in like you said Lovely New York and we have governor hokal here who just decided that she was going to force us all to wear masks again
Starting point is 01:46:10 and um got to tell you uh it's a grind but people are waking up i mean we have a county saratoga county they are uh it's it's uh i'm sure you heard saratoga yes um they're they're refusing to comply with the governor's mandate so yes Yes, very much so. So, you know, I think the principle of this, the idea behind this is that we did this last year, okay? Why are we doing it again if it didn't work? Correct. Correct.
Starting point is 01:46:45 Not only that. Not only that, but now you've got people that have two, possibly three, possibly four shots, depending on who you are and where you fall within the spectrum of liberalism. and it just doesn't make any sense. So are the shots working? Is the mask working? Which one is it? So I think it all comes down to power. I think Governor Hokel waited for this variant to come,
Starting point is 01:47:16 and she sees the moment, like most politicians do on the left, and decided that it was time to put her fist down, show her power. and she instituted the mask mandate. The problem that she's going to have is that the compliance level is not going to be there. And I can already see that it's not there. Yeah. Well, and that's saying something coming from even upstate New York, it's saying something that New Yorkers are saying, you know, enough is enough.
Starting point is 01:47:43 Because I have, thank you for your call, Chris. I have family up in Connecticut. You have family up in Connecticut. It's almost a mental disorder. Yeah, you know, it's interesting because I think that's the right way to put it in some ways. I was talking to a friend of mine who I hadn't seen in a couple of years. And she lives up in New York City. And she, you know, she's, she said that, you know, something like 75% of people in New York City are still wearing masks outside. Now, again, even the New York Times says there
Starting point is 01:48:14 has never been a single case of outdoor transmission outside of close conversation. But count them again. How many cases? Zero in the world since the beginning of this. Right. But in the entire universe? None. Okay. Okay. So there's no reason to be doing that. But she was describing, you know, that area really was scarred from this. Unlike we, you know, like I'm in Texas and we never had about what that felt really scary like that. Like she was saying to the point where she couldn't do, she was working from home, they couldn't leave. They were importing, um, Riker's prisoners to hotels in their neighborhood and just letting to live there. They're out in the streets doing heroin.
Starting point is 01:48:58 You go out to take your dog for a walk. You can't even do that. She couldn't get on phone calls, you know, conference calls for her job because it was constant sirens for months. And so beyond the fact that they're liberal there, they were really legitimately scarred as a society from those early months. And they don't, they don't trust each other anymore. They don't trust each other. They think everyone's out to kill them. Yes. I mean, it is, it is like, it's. psychosis at some level. It is evil what has been done
Starting point is 01:49:29 to people. It really is evil what's been done. And it's not all just government crackdowns like it is in other areas. I think a lot of people, you're in Wyoming. You've never dealt with anything like what they dealt with in the Cuomo area
Starting point is 01:49:45 of this catastrophe. It really was scarring to people. So you can understand them acting irrationally. But it's supposed to be the job of science and government to get over the hump of that, of the emotions of a tragic event and treat it in a sober fashion. But we can't. We can't see to do that.
Starting point is 01:50:05 No, because it has been made into politics. They want this to divide us. And the more you put mask mandates in, the more you are making good guys and bad guys. And it's scientifically very weak at best. at best. And scientifically to make bad guys and good guys in a society, I can find all kinds of studies that will show you that leads to civil war. That doesn't lead anywhere good. And unfortunately, that's what they're choosing to do. Let me go to Steve in Iowa. Hi, Steve. Oh, my gosh. Hang on. I'm going to put you back on hold because of really bad connection. See if we can clear up his connection.
Starting point is 01:50:55 Let's go to Sharon, Indiana. Hello, Sharon. Hey, Glenn. I just want to talk to you about your ghost in the museum. Yeah. Yeah. I know. Well, I watch a show on the Travel Channel, and it's called The Dead Files. And it's got Amy Allen. She's a physical medium. And Steve DeShavi, who's a retired detective, and she can talk to the dead. That's what she says.
Starting point is 01:51:19 And then Steve, he goes around, and he investigates the history of the people in the area and so forth, and what's happened. Maybe there's a murder or whatever. Oh, we have to call it. them. I would love to do a show. I'd love to do a ghost hunting show, even if they're complete frauds. I could talk to the dead. Great. Let's see it. But, you know, we, we have this video that's really weird, really weird. Has it continued to happen since we initially uncovered it? Just that one time. Just that one time. It's very interesting. And it happens to be coming from a really dark part of the museum that has an electric chair and a guillotine and, and, you know,
Starting point is 01:51:58 everything else. And I'd love to have somebody come and investigate and tell us what that was on the videotape. Thanks for your call. Let me go to Gail. Hi, Gail. You're on the Glenn Beck program. Hi, Glenn. Number one, I just want to thank you for being such a good patriot.
Starting point is 01:52:20 You know, I know you like Trump could be sitting back all comfy cozy, but you don't. You are teaching, you're educating us. I think you can't even if you're the greatest patriotic teachers ever. Oh, well, thank you very much. But I was at dinner with Donald Trump last Friday at his house. And nope, I couldn't be sitting back comfortable like he is. That's not what he's doing, is he? No, he's not.
Starting point is 01:52:50 But I mean, you know, if he chose, he could sit back and he's very comfortable. Barlaug is pretty sweet. Oh my gosh, that's an amazing place. Let me go to Steve. Back, Steve, do we have you on a good line now? Yeah, can you hear me? Yes, I can. Good.
Starting point is 01:53:09 Go ahead. Okay. I wanted to comment on a possible, huge disruption to the supply chain network. My dad works for a company that supplies gasoline and diesel to gas stations in the Upper Midwest. And they got an internal memo about a possible shortage of a chemical that, over probably 80% of all diesel vehicles in the United States use, and it's called diesel, or DEF, which is...
Starting point is 01:53:36 Oh, yeah. You have to pour that in your... I have that for my truck. You just, you buy it at like, you know, the gas station, and you pour it into the gas tank, right? No, it actually has its own tank. It's a diesel exhaust fluid. In the semis, we have a tank on the side of our trucks.
Starting point is 01:53:54 It's 15 to 20 gallons. most pickups have another next to the gas nozzle they have another port that you put a nozzle into or you dump a bottle of it in there it's two and a half gallons and it fills and it's injected into the exhaust to clean the exhaust up it was mandated by the government back in the early 2000s that all diesel trucks over or all diesel engines over 50 horsepower are required to have this including pickups, semis, and tractors right and a lot of equipment well there's a possible disruption in the supply of this coming into the new year because the urea that goes into the death, it's urea and water is imported. A lot of it is imported. Well, if we can't get it, then the computers in diesel engines will not let that engine run. Yeah, it will shut it down. Oh, my God. Can you imagine if there's a shortage of death?
Starting point is 01:54:45 Now, there's a lot of trucks out here that don't require it, the older trucks. But there's a lot of new trucks that do. Mine does. And that's what I was, that's, I have a new truck and I have a couple of old trucks that don't need But the new trucks, you know, I don't even know how long ago it was mandated to do this, but it shuts it down. If you don't put it back in, the electronics, shut it down. That's a real problem. We'll look into that.
Starting point is 01:55:10 Would you just write that down, have our researchers look into DEF shortages? Thank you so much, Steve. Back in just a minute with some news about the VP and what she's doing. Oh, you thought you loved Kamala. And you thought, what is she doing with her time? You know, when she's not not visiting the border. Well, I'll share it with you coming up in just a second. Yes, I will.
Starting point is 01:55:35 I will, I will. If you want to create valuable breathing room in your budget, pay less for your home and possibly save up to $1,000 a month. Listen up. Now is the time to refinance your mortgage. You've got the benefit of extremely low mortgage rates, the incentive of an economy that has gone insane and may not stabilize for a long, time. Take a look at your loan. What is the interest rate? If you're paying more than 3%, it is time to
Starting point is 01:56:02 see if you can get that lowered. And all you have to do is place a call to American financing. Imagine how much it could free up not having to pay a high rate. Imagine what skipping a couple of mortgage payments over the next couple of months would do as well. Imagine how much money you'd save if you rolled your high interest credit card debt into your mortgage. People have been helped by American financing for 20 years. They've been a client of mine for, I don't even know, 12 years or so. And they've been helping this audience over and over. They've helped Stu.
Starting point is 01:56:40 They've helped Sarah. Help me. American financing, 800, 906, 2440, 800, 906, 2440. It's Americanfinancing. American financing NMLS 1 82334 www.mLS consumer access.org Oh my gosh. I have to tell you, you know, I thought Kamala Harris might be out of touch.
Starting point is 01:57:11 I thought she may not be doing anything, you know, when she's not visiting the border of Mexico or, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, or Europe. What is she redoing? My guess was nothing. But if you read the San Francisco Chronicle, there is a story here that, you're ready, Stu? Be prepared to like her. Be prepared to change your mind here.
Starting point is 01:57:40 She has just finished redecorating her vice presidential office. Oh. And it is, let me just read this article. The office where Harris hosted the Chronicle for a recent interview has been overhauled since photographs were released of it. earlier this year showing sparse decoration in navy blue walls. The room now is warmer, painted in a light shade of blue, and the pattern couches have been swapped for a nearly all-white set. Isn't that beautiful?
Starting point is 01:58:11 But it's what hangs on her walls that speaks the loudness, with carefully curated art pieces that reflect how she differs from the 48 men who held the role before her. You know, she's the first woman, woman of color, black woman. Really? I hadn't heard that yet. And first graduate of a historically black university or college to be vice president. So behind her desk hangs an abstract painting on loan from the Smithsonian, white and daisy's rhapsody. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 01:58:46 She's the one who has that behind her desk. After breaking all those barriers, she's got white in the name of the photo. Yeah, well, it's white Daisy's rhapsody. It's lively green, blue and yellow. Okay. So, you know, what I found really fascinating about all of this is because it goes on elegantly decorated Christmas tree and garlands now decorate the seating area by the fireplace, unlit.
Starting point is 01:59:10 I saw the headline and what was interesting to me about it was nothing. Well, I saw that. So you found something in that. Yeah. What I found was that, you know, I thought she was out of touch. but for her to be so disliked and everybody's opinion is that she isn't doing anything, for someone on her staff to call the Chronicle and say, hey, there's a human interest story here you might want to cover.
Starting point is 01:59:40 She's redecorated and she's got really nice art from the Smithsonian now hanging on the walls. I thought that is speaking to the little people. You know what I mean? And that is reaching right out for those people who are like, hey, wow, I'm having a hard time pumping gas. It's so expensive or, you know, buying milk for the kids. I thought the paint of light shades of blue and the nearly white couch with the lively green, blue and yellow white Daisy's Rhapsody painting from the Smithsonian hanging right behind her desk. I thought. Wow.
Starting point is 02:00:23 That is. Really relatable. Yeah. Really relatable. You're right. It's not. It's not at all. It's not going to make people like her more. I'll say that.
Starting point is 02:00:32 She has an interesting way of rubbing people the wrong way. Yeah. Well, she did come in, I believe, dead last. With all of the Democrats. The 22 candidates they had running. She wasn't dead last. There were some people who were even below that. She was like 19.
Starting point is 02:00:49 Yeah. No. No, higher than 19th, certainly, but I think probably be out somebody. She wasn't liked by the voters in the primary. Yeah. And now they expect her to be like. Somebody said, you know, if they are trying to impeach the president, this is what? They're not going to impeach this president.
Starting point is 02:01:10 Not with her there. No, she's less liked than he is. She's Joe Biden insurance is what she is.
