All right, let me tell you about the home title lock. This is something I think is really, really important. I have it on my home. Because of who I am and the death threats that we have in our family and everything else, I've taken extra measures to protect my home. The extra measures that I spent tens of thousands of dollars on actually has made it easier for somebody to steal my home. I found this out from an FBI agent.

I've hired home title lock to stand guard. Or tens of thousands of dollars, right? No. It's shockingly not. Shockingly less. Yeah, pennies a day, actually. They'll put this virtual barrier around your home's title and mortgage. And if anyone's going to try to get access to your cash, your equity, they can help shut it down. You need to do it for your parents. You really do. They're the biggest targets. Get your free title scan and report. See if your home's already been compromised at home titlelock.com.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glennbeck program. Hello, America. Welcome. So glad that you are here today. We have a couple of things we wanted to cover. First of all, the State of the Union speech. I love Nancy Pelosi's idea. Please, Mr. President, do this. Also, the women's march and feminism. And a very frank conversation with you on feminism. And I need women on the phone who are willing to be very frank. We're not going to use any names. And tell us, just answer eight different questions for us. We'll get into that. As we begin the show right now. This is the Glenn Beck program. Okay, we begin the show in one minute. I want to tell you about life lock stolen identity can be an absolute nightmare. These are the things that destroy your credit and then you can never get around it and you, I mean, it's awful. You're not an expert in on just even watching out for all these things.

But when something happens, you then have to take your whole day, day after day, week after week, trying to get all of the bad stuff removed from your credit history. It's a nightmare. Oh, yeah. And trying to unwind it,

if you get into this, is a total disaster. You have to really stop it before it starts, unless you want this to be your career. Unless you want the next, unless you want to school to study to fight against identity fraud. Or if you've already hired the team to protect you from it, if, God forbid, somebody gets beyond that team, they have in-country specialists that this is all they do.

And they know how to unravel it for you. It's still a pain in the butt. But it is better than anything else out there. And it's certainly better than doing it by yourself. It is life lock. They detect a wide range of identity thefts. Nobody can, you know, nobody can stop all identity theft or monitor all transactions and, uh, you know, protect everything from you.

But these are the best in the business. It's LifeLock. Get 10% off your first year right now. If you use the promo code back at 1-800 LifeLock, 1-800 LifeLock. Or go to LifeLock.com. promo code back, save 10%. LifeLock.com. Let's begin the show. You know, I, um, there's one tradition that I just love.

And that is when we all gather around the old set and we watch the state of Union. Oh, the fun times and fun memories that brings back every year. I hate that. It's one of the worst things ever. It's nothing but a really lousy show. It's state-run television. That's what that is. That's what it feels like. It is. It is. And you know, it's like, you know, America's got talent or something like that where you know the outcome. You know these judges are going to hate it. And these judges are going to love it every time. It's a giant show. And I feel like it's completely inconsistent with the foundations of our country.

Like, we don't revere leaders like this. We don't, we don't, it's not pomp and circumstance here. And like, this is the perfect time for Trump to just say, you know what? You're right. It's back to a letter. I love that. I would love for him to do that. The Constitution says that the president, I think it even says from time to time.

Time to time. Yeah. It's like, yeah, I think it is from time to time. It's supposed to be like every January you've got to do this. It's from time to time. The president needs to inform the Congress the state of the union. It needs to say, hey, things kind of suck over here and are pretty good over there. It's always been a letter, I think, until either Wilson or FDR, of course.

I think there was maybe one or two exceptions to that. It's an interesting history, actually. But they, it was never supposed to be. It was never supposed to be. Look, believe me. It was never supposed to be like this. It's supposed to be basically an actual report of what the hell was going on in the country. Correct. That's it.

And here's a couple ideas of how I think we could fix it. Right. So it's turned into this giant show. And now Nancy Pelosi, as a punishment, this is how out of touch they are, as a punishment for shutting down the government says, you know what? Maybe we won't invite you to give a state of the union. Okay. All right. Please.

He doesn't need a state of the union. The guy tweets and all you do is talk about it for six weeks. Yeah, I mean, we got it. We got it. Oh, boo-hoo. Now, this again hurts us because we've done a lot of planning. We've got a really good state of the union broadcast with all hands on deck at the Blaze. Eric Bowling is in Washington with all of the experts. We're going to be based here, checking in with all of the Blaze staff. Yeah, but bad for us, good for the country. Yeah, I'm happy for that trade off. country. Great for the country. Now, the other side of this, can you hear it in my voice? I'm kind of excited that this might not happen. You know, that the president's not going to give up and give

that boring speech every year that every president gives and we all hate. And I've, you've paid me. You've paid me for 40 years. For 40 years, I have been paid to watch that damn speech. I've watched all of them for 40 years. I hate them. I hate them. You're still paying me to watch it. And it's like, this year, you know what, Glenn? You don't have to watch it. Oh, please. Thank you. So, part of it's good for me. Part of it's bad for me, but great for America. People say we don't give Democrats credit when they have good ideas. Well, here's one. Nancy. Yes, what a wonderful idea, Nancy. This is their punishment. I love this.

Okay, so if you decide to do it, Mr. President, you should encourage them not to show up. Now, I don't know exactly how the Constitution works to where if the president says, I'm going to do it. You don't have to show up. I'm going to do it. I'm going to do my constitutional duty. I think it would be even more fun if they didn't show up.

it's doing it an empty room that would be very it might the optics of that might feel a little weird like it doing it just for the GOP yeah who do you think wins right yeah for the GOP they'd all be cheering for everything yeah we're showing up to do our we're showing up to do our job I just said the speech in the empty room is what I was picturing

but you're right if the GOP shows up they're going to be clapping for everything oh my gosh can you imagine if if Donald Trump if Donald Trump had Ronald Reagan's skill no president has had Ronald Reagan's skill. But if Donald Trump had Ronald Reagan's skill in an empty chamber just to walk in and himself go, Mr. Speaker, the president of the United States. And then they open up the doors and it's just him. And he's just walking down. He's got a lapel microphone. And he just starts talking to the American people as he's

walking down that aisle and just says, look, the government is closed because We can't do, we can't do, we can't get our act together on the border. We can't do things that will protect you. So nobody showed up. But you know what? This is supposed to be a letter anyway to Congress. So I wrote them a letter. I don't know if they're ever going to read it because they don't really read stuff around here.

I don't know if you've noticed that. But I just wanted to sit and talk to you for a minute. And then don't go behind that podium. just sit in one of the chairs that they normally sit in. Just don't sit with the American flag or just kind of prop yourself up next to that podium and just say, so listen, I'm going to only keep you for five minutes.

This is what has to happen. That would be epic. And then the five minutes should be about term limits. All these people who didn't even bother to show up to do their jobs today, all of them should be out. Get them out of here. They can't sit here. We're not going to pay them for the next 100 years like they easily want.

In fact, don't even talk about the border. Don't talk about anything. Just say, look, I'm only going to keep here for five minutes. We can't get some common sense stuff down that you know. And honestly, your neighbors who are Democrats, they know it too. And they're sick of this. And I've seen the polling. There should be term limits.

There's term limits on me on the president because nobody should have that much power for that long. These people, some of these people have been here since 1973. Now, Ted Cruz has put together a deal, and with your help, with your help, if I said this in front of them, you know half the room would stand up and applaud. The other half would sit stoic. And if the last president would have proposed what I'm proposing, they would have switched sides. But you know, one thing, it wouldn't happen. It wouldn't happen because it's a restriction on them. So I'm just asking you, let's get this done.

Yeah, and it's among the most popular thing that is in public opinion. I mean, it's something like 83% of people agree with term limits for Congress. It's 80. It is more popular among Republicans by a decent margin than the border wall is. That's how popular term limits are. And you're also getting in the mid-70s of Democrats who agree with it. Talking about getting people who could, you know, and I think Cruz's is worded, I believe, three terms in Congress and two terms.

terms in the Senate, and then you're done. That's enough. You're there for it. That's already 18 years. Yeah. And you could still run for president afterwards. Yeah. And there's plenty of opportunities.

I don't even think it should be that long for that 18 years. I mean, he's, I think, being pragmatic here and saying, you know, if you make it too short, no one's going to vote for it. But still, 18 years is plenty of time for you to be in the government. I mean, your working life is from 20 to say, you know, 70. I'm sorry. You're talking about 20 to 60. This is a, you're talking about half your working life.

This is one problem we do have with the Constitution, and that is the Constitution was not written for a Congress that was seated year round. The Constitution was written for a Congress that showed up in the summer and did a couple months of work and then left. And did real jobs. And did real jobs. Yes. Okay. They should not have the power over their own salary and over their own jobs. I mean, look, the president, you think the president would have ever said, yeah, you know what term limits on me?

Right. There needed to be someone who enforced it on the executive. Right. Right. Why are we expecting these people? Who would say, you know what? I know. I'm here and I'm doing a great job right now. And inside, you know, I'm really not doing a great job right now. But you say to your boss, I'm doing a great job right now. But you know what? In 10 years, you should fire me. No one would say that. And, you know, every time you bring up term limits, there's somebody who says, well, you know, they, the problem is that lobbyists will be in control. Have you watched Washington lately? What do you think's happening now? These people have made 40-year relationships with lobbyists. Horrible. Who are writing the bills for them. At least it would be new people they had to convince again.

Horrible. Horrible. Okay. We come back. I want to talk to you a little bit about the women's movement. We got a big monologue on this today. We've worked a couple of weeks on the TV show for tonight to tell you really who these people are that are organizing the women's movement. We're going to break for one minute, then right back into that.

I need your help on this. But first, let me tell you, our commercial sponsor is X-Chair. X-chairbeck.com. Stu, how do you like your chair? I love my X-chair, Glenn. Difference between the last chair that we had, which is a pretty good chair and this chair. It's immense. It's a very big difference.

and we sit here for hours every day because it's not only this, it's meetings beforehand, it's meetings after. And you spend a lot of time in a chair, which most people do if you work in an office or if you have a home office and you're sitting there over and over and over again at the end of the day, your back hurts, you're aching, you just want to stand up and do something different. You don't have that problem with the X chair. You're comfortable. I have a bad back and sitting in an uncomfortable chair or even a nice car without really good

back support. I'm just toast. this is a great supportive chair. Find out for yourself, money back guarantee. It's X chair. X chair beck, letter X, chairbeck.com, or you can call 8444-4-X chair. 844-4-4-X chair. You get $100 off.

Plus, if you use the promo code, Beck, you're going to get a free footrest as well. X-chairbeck.com. Let's break for 10 seconds and right back into the show. Okay, so tonight we're doing a big deal on the women. March and who this who's really behind the women's March and we've spent we took uh kevin one of our researchers and writers and said take a couple of weeks and really look at this he came in this morning he's like we could do literally a week's worth of shows behind all of the people that are involved in this at the upper levels that are anti-semitic and racist and just bad people we're gonna we've narrowed it

down to the four leaders, the people that, who was it Time Magazine or, I think it was Time Magazine that said were the people of the year, Fortune Magazine ranked three of the four that we're going to do today as the world's greatest leaders just last year. We're going to show you why, not so much, not so much. This is not about being open, being honest, being honest, being loving to everybody, making sure that we hold women up. You know, it's not. It's not. It's about racism and anti-Semitism.

And we're going to show you the videotape tonight. It'll blow your mind tonight at 5 o'clock only on the Blaze TV. But Stu was reading an article from a woman who said, look, the feminist thing, the Me Too movement is dead unless we start looking at toxic femininity as well. And this is where we need you to participate. If you are a woman and you are willing to... Not somebody who identifies as a woman today.

Please. Wow, that's hateful. That is. You actually have to be an in the pants woman. You got to have them lady parts. If you got them lady parts, call us up 888727-235. 888-7-27 Beck. We have several questions for you.

Eight questions based on this survey. We're not going to give them to you in advance. We're not going to ask your name. We won't give any identifiers. We're going to just call you your caller number one, two, three, four, five. And we want you to be really honest and answer these questions that this author says, until we actually address toxic femininity, we won't go, we won't get anywhere. Yeah, it's interesting.

And by the way, you don't have to say that you've done any of the things we're asking about. It's someone that you have personal knowledge with, your circle of friends, someone who. It's going to be somebody you actually know. Not like, oh, yeah, I have a friend who told me a story. No, it's either you or someone you know. So it's Megan Dom. She writes in Medium. She asks these questions and posts them.

And it says, in a hypothetical gathering of every woman I've ever known or encountered, I'm imagining a football stadium at decent capacity. I'm certain there's not a single one of these questions that have answered honestly wouldn't send hands in the air, including my own. We all hear too much about toxic masculinity. the term that refers to the way traits like aggression and emotional repression are baked into male social norms. It also frequently shows up in online feminism as lazy shorthand for registering disapproval of just about anything men do at all. But when are we going to grant equal rights to women and admit that toxic femininity also exists and can be just as poisonous?

We've established that men are socially conditioned to think that women owe them sex. But what about the women that assume that men should be grateful for, any sex they get. Throughout my life, I've heard countless men tell stories about going ahead with sex even though they didn't really want to. Sometimes it was because they didn't want to hurt a woman's feelings, or other times it was because they feared being perceived as having a low sex drive. A remarkable number of men have told me about times when women approach them, often wordlessly, and initiated sexual accounters without the slightest provocation or questions asked. In some cases, probably a lot of cases. The men were happy to oblige the women's

desires. In other cases, though, they went through with the encounters because they didn't want to make an awkward situation even more awkward. These stories have been relayed to me in a tone that I can only describe as bafflement. The men are not complaining, but they're not boasting. If anything, they seem to be struggling to find the words to describe a not entirely welcome encounter, that they felt that they had no right to regard with anything other than gratitude. Needless to say, if you imagined any of these situations with the genders reversed, you'd have the potential for a very different framing. She was on and on to talk about this.

I find it amazing. I think the thing that gets lost in these ridiculous gender battles, and I think we saw an example of it the other day, too, with the radio show where the CNN analyst accused the black host of having white privilege because he was conservative. And it's like there's just this reflexive thing. Anytime a guy does something wrong, oh, it's toxic masculinity. And instead of just realizing and admitting,

something that we all know is that people are awful a lot regardless of their gender sometimes people are awful. We've all known awful people of our gender and we've all known awful people of the other gender and approximately 48 of the other 64 genders.

We've all known people including women who have done really shady things and you know where I hear it most from? Women. Women are the people who always have examples of their friend that they don't really like, and they had to deal with their nonsense about how they did something to a boyfriend they

shouldn't have, or they lied about this, or they treated, you know, they did, and we'll give you the examples here in a moment, but all sorts of things that use their femininity to their advantage to try to take advantage of somebody else. Should we, so we just start asking some of these questions? We have some callers instead of taking them all at once. Sure. We take them one at a time. Let me go to, let me go to person number five.

please. And we don't want you to identify yourself in any way because we want to make sure you can answer honestly. Welcome to the program. How are you? Thank you. Good. Thanks. How are you? All right, good. We're going to ask you. I think it's eight questions. Should we, because we only have about a minute here and we have the eight questions. If we give them away, then I think we need to have the multiple people on. You're thinking that people won't. Well, no, I just, I think it's interesting to hear the initial reactions rather than people preparing for the answers. Okay.

All right. Hold on. One second person number five. And we'll come back to you. We're going to come back then. I just think it would, because I have, I have questions on all of these because you went through them and about a third of them, I was like, no way. No way.

Anybody ever did that. No way. And that's that. And you're like, you're totally naive. Yeah. I am just, I am so clueless. And to be fair to Glenn, he didn't talk to a girl until about 32. So.

True. That's a very, very. Very true. So I, I'm completely in the dark on this one. I'm, I'm really excited to hear what this audience will admit to, either on themselves or that they know of people. And it has, again, it has to be firsthand.

Yeah, not an urban legend from your town. No, right? Like it needs to be. Oh, I know this girl. I went to school with her and everybody talked. No, no, no. your friend that you've known for a long time admitted to you that this is what they did or that you did it. That's why we don't want any identifiers on there.

We need you to be completely honest. And about a third of these, I've got questions. I've got questions. We'll go to that when we come back in just a minute on the Glenn Beck program. You're listening to Glenn Beck. All right. Let me tell you about LifeLock, our sponsor for this half hour. We thank them so much for being a sponsor.

The toxic femininity problem in America. Is it actually an issue? By the way, if you're hearing hammering in saws, it's actually four stories above me. We've had to replace the roof of our studio complex.

And it's this a massive complex. It's going to take us about 90 days. and so you will hear things in the background. Unfortunately, I apologize for this. It's not Jeffrey having a moment. Yeah, I know. Last night, we were doing one of the shows, and it sounded like we had piled a bunch of, you know,

lactose intolerant elephants up on the roof. But anyway, toxic femininity. There is an article on medium that talks about, from a woman who says, if I got a group of my friends together and they all talked about the truth, they would all answer yes to most, if not all of these questions. I find this hard to believe, but we have now, we have 12 people on the phone. They're from the ages of 35 to 70.

It may be different below 35, but we'll see. this group is 35 to 70 years old, 12 different people. Can we conference call all of them together? Do we have the technology? Do we have the technology? I'm not sure. Now, here's the thing. I've attempted this in the studio.

As we put all of them together, ladies, please do not identify yourself in any way other than your number. And because some of the questions get a little dicey and we just want to make sure that nobody is revealing anything that everybody else goes, what? So here we go. We're going to start from number one to number 12. Don't identify yourself in any way. But we just want an honest answer on these questions.

Here's question number one. Have you ever behaved badly and blamed it on your period? Number one. Or you or somebody that you know. No. No, number two. Number two, are you there? Yes.

The answer is no. The answer is no. Number three. Absolutely. Absolutely. Thank you. Because I was going to remind you your under oath, ladies, okay? Number four. No.

Number five. No. Now, remember, we're saying anyone you've ever known. Yeah, anyone who you have personal... Okay, so let's do this again. You or someone you personally know, not, and they've got to be a friend. Yeah. So let's just start at the beginning again.

You have ever done something and blamed it on your period. you or someone who is firsthand knowledge very close. Yes or no, number one. Don't listen to the radio, please. Listen to the phone. Number one. Number two. Yes.

Yes. Number three. Absolutely. Number four. Yes. Number five. Yes. Number six.

No. Number seven. Yes. Number eight. Yes. nine. Oh, yeah. Ten.

Number ten. Definitely. Definitely. Number 11. Yes. Okay. So nine of 11 on that one. Nine of 11.

Here's question number two. Have you or anyone you have personal knowledge of in your circle of friends. I ever acted helpless in the face of an unpleasant, if not physically demanding task, like dealing with a wild animal that's gotten inside the house. Number one. Number one says I think no I'm losing number one Number two Yes

Three You bet Number four I'm in love with three Number four Number four Oh that's me I'm sorry that's me

Yes Not me but somebody else Yes okay Number five Yes for sure Number six Yes Seven

Yes Eight Absolutely. Nine. Not me, but somebody else. Ten. Sam's going to stretch here. Number 11.

Yes. Yes. Okay. We are talking to 11 women, age 35 to 70, asking them questions about toxic femininity. Question three. Okay. They're going to get a little bit harder. Here is a little dice. Have you or anyone in your circle of friends, coerced a man into sex

even though he didn't really seem to want it. Number one. I think we've lost number one. I think we've lost number one. Number two. No way. Number three. Probably have made a sport out of it.

Number four. No. Five. Never. Six. No. seven not that I recall

number eight no way nine not yet but I'm newly single so I'm on a bubble on this one three months down the road number ten number ten

yes yes number 11 all my men wanted it all right well again you can blame this on your awful friend It's totally fine. Yeah, you don't have to admit to it yourself. Right, that's it.

All right. Okay. Next one. Have you or anyone in your circle of friends over your life thought you were at liberty to do some sort of coercing because men always wanted and should feel lucky anytime they get it? No. That's number one? Yeah. Number two.

Yes. Number three. Absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely. we hands down. I've got to, we have to have another conversation with number three. We need to set up a podcast with number three.

Right. Number four. I don't understand the question. Could you? Yes. Go ahead. So, uh, the, uh, if you, a lot of this goes back to the coursing. If you don't know anyone who's ever coerced someone or, you know, plot, you kind of prodded

them into sex, even though you weren't sure they were necessarily that much into it. Did you justify that as, uh, you know, men always wanted and they should be lucky anytime that they get it? Yes. Okay. Number five. No. Six.

Yes. Seven. Yes. Eight. Seven and four. Seven and three should never get together. They'd be driving off a cliff at the end of that movie. Eight.

No. Nine. That's a freaking lute. Yeah. And you, you are an instigator as well. Number two. 10. No, not so much.

Okay. And number 11. Absolutely. Wow. Okay. That was one of those that I thought. No, no, I mean, I can't. I mean, I could see it occasionally.

What was the score on that? Six out of the 11 said yes to that. Six out of the 11. Okay. Next up, have you or you can absolutely blame someone else in your circle of friends. If you've ever threatened to harm yourself, if a man breaks up with you or doesn't want to see you anymore. Do you remember this from high school or college?

You or someone else. Number one. No way. Number two. Oh, at the right age of 15, yes. Number three. Not a chance. Number four.

No. Five. No, never. Six. I just did that last week. Number seven. No. Eight.

No way. Nine. Hell no, but I had it done to me. Ten. By a woman or by a man? By a man. Okay. Number, I did ten, eleven.

No, no man's that important. Good for you. You actually skip ten. Oh, did I skip ten? Number ten. I've known a couple people, yes. Yeah, okay. What happened to twelve?

Oh, do we have twelve? You said you did. Oh, well, we only have 11. I'm looking up, and I thought we had 12, but we only have 11. Okay, next what? Now, these are going to get, they can be, these can be harsh. Again, think about back in your life, the friends that you've had, maybe made questionable choices.

I know we've all had these friends, but this is, we're going to get a little tough here. Any of these people that you've known in your life been physically abusive with a male partner knowing you'd be unlikely to face any legal consequences. Wow. Oh, never. Okay. number one, number two.

No. Three. Yes. Well, I won't ask. That's not your role. You're not your role here. I know, I know. Number four.

No. Five. No, never. Six. Just pushing them down a stairs count. Yes, it does. Six. Seven.

I do know one person, yes. Eight. I know. one person saw the evidence after it was over, yes. Nine. Does it count if you've been drinking? Yes, it does. Yes, said the judge.

Yes. That was number nine? Nine. Number ten. Number nine. What did you say number ten? I know we're anonymous, but it was not me, but I do know someone. Okay.

Number 11. Yes. Wow. Wow. That was a lot higher than I expected. That was a lot higher than I expected. Okay. two more guys and you're doing a great job

blaming all your friends for everything I know okay have you or anyone in your circle of friends lied about being on birth control or faked a pregnancy scare to see how a man would respond absolutely not okay number two

absolutely not three never four no five yes okay six

Nobody has friends because I... This is what I feel is common. Yeah, I know somebody who's done this. I would have said this one was 15 out of 11. Yeah, me too. Where are we at? Number six? Yeah, I had a friend that did that one.

Number seven? No. Eight. No way. Nine. Good Lord, no. Ten. Quite a few, actually.

Eleven. Yes. I thought that would be a lot higher. Yeah. this is so common it even happened on the documentary of the office. It wasn't a documentary. And finally, this is again, you or your circle of friends. Has any of, have every of them ever manipulated a divorce or a child custody dispute in your favor, in their favor,

by falsely insinuating that a man had been abusive to you or your child? Again, your circle of friends would count in this as well. After 41 years, no way. You have good friends. Number two. No. Three. Not for me and truly not for anybody I know.

Four. I say no, but I bet the liberals will answer these questions much differently than us. Yeah. I was just thinking that I think with a younger group, it may be different with those under 35. And also, I think with a group of different, you know, set of values. Okay, so what number we were at, number five, I think? Yeah. Number five.

Yes, but it was reverse. It was a man who was doing it to the woman. Okay, that doesn't count. Okay, number six. No. Number seven? No. Eight?

No, and if they did, they would no longer be my friend. Good for you. Good for you. Nine? I echo her sentiment exactly, so no. Thanks, dear. Ten? You're welcome.

Yep. Biddo. And 11. Yes, sadly. So can I ask just... 11 was yes? Yes, sadly, she said. Can I ask, do you believe that toxic femininity exists, ladies?

You can just... Yes. Yeah. Absolutely. 100%. Women can be... I'm about it. I'm just going to...

Women can be... All right, all right, all right, ladies. It was a yes or no question. This isn't a party line. Please define for me what is toxic femininity. I think the things that they're saying about toxic masculinity, that there are guys that are jerks and will use, they're self-centered. They'll do whatever they want to get what they want.

I think that is not a male problem. It's like racism. It's a human problem. I agree. Absolutely. And the age of 40 plans. There we go. Full sentences will not work in this format.

We got a break. But thank you. That was great. Ladies, hang on the phone. I want to send each of you. Give the producer your name. I want to send each of you an autographed copy of my new book. But thank you for being on.

So, stand by. That was very interesting. That was fascinating. Fascinating. And to the author's credit, Megan Dom's credit, we got a yes, at least, for every single one of them. And some of them unanimously, yes. When we come back, we'll run down. those yes or no. We'll give the score, final score on each of them. All right, our sponsor this

half hour is Relief Factor. Relief Factor has helped me live my life in the last year. Look, I know constant pain. I know pain that just does not go away. And I am, you know, there's somebody who, it was Eric Bowling, who is against opioids. I am not. When there, there's no reason for anybody to be in pain in today's world anymore. But everything comes with a price. I personally am not willing to pay the opioid price. I'm an alcoholic, and I know me. And so I guard everything that I put into my body.

And when I have to take like an opioid to kill pain, they're in a safe. I don't have them. My wife has to dispense. I don't want to live that way. And I also can't live in pain. I tried relief factory a year ago. It worked. it for three weeks. It'll cost you $20 to try it. But I'm telling you if it works for you,

it works for you like it does for me, that's the best $20 you'll ever spend. So relief factor. It's about a dollar a day to take it. Take it three times a day. Relief factor. Please try it and get your life back. Relieffactor.com. That's relieffactor.com. Or call 800, 500, 583,84. Relieffactor.com. Okay, we just asked 11 women, toxic femininity. Can you summarize quickly here in the minute we have? Yeah, the circle of friends as well. Nine and of 11 had behaved badly and bladed it on their period. All 11 had said they had used their femininity to get out of a tough task.

Two out of 11 said they had coerced men into sex. Six of the 11 said them or their friends had done coercing because men always wanted. Three of the 11 said they had threatened to harm themselves if a man broke up with them. Six of 11 said they were abusive with a male partner knowing they wouldn't get any consequences. Four out of 11 said they had lied about being on birth control or fake to pregnancy scale. And one out of 11 said they had manipulated a divorce or child custody dispute in their favor by claiming abuse. Unbelievable. Also, I want to tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

Are you even willing to ask yourself, am I a patriot or a partisan? Do you politicize almost everything in almost every circumstance, or are you offended when others tried to do that? Are you articulate in what you're actually for better than you are condemning what you think you're against? Is your excuse for constantly being betrayed by the Republicans

that you helped elect? and it's that stupid party that gets into the way, not the person you helped to elect. There's a new book out called Truth Bombs. It's by Steve Dase. We begin with him in one minute. This is the Glenn Beck program. So in about 30 minutes, we have Justin Wheeler on.

He is my econ guy. And he is, he's going to give you the state of the union and the state of the economy here in a nutshell in just a in just a few minutes and give you a couple of things that you may not know about for instance did you know in the last four days you know we have the bank bailouts and then we had the the the the Fed giving more money every month we were doing about 80 billion dollars a month 80 billion dollars a month and that's the Fed just printing up money. We got up to about $7 trillion.

I think we're now down to about $4 trillion that's still out there. Well, yeah, yes. China just did something in the last four days. They just pumped in $50 trillion into their economy in the last four days. They're in trouble. What does that mean? We'll tell you in a minute. I will tell you that everyone is devalued.

their money. This is not going to last. It just, it doesn't last. It's never in the history of the world ever worked. Now, maybe we've taken some genius pills, but I'm watching the people in the banks and I'm watching the people in Washington and people in China and Germany and England and everywhere else. And I don't see any evidence that they've taken genius pills. So what happens? Well, one of the things you need to know about is cryptocurrency and Bitcoin. And we've asked, an investment advisor and one of the best guys on cryptocurrency out there is Tika Tawari. He talks to the people who are actually the movers and shakers in this. And he can explain what cryptocurrency is, how it's used, what the future looks like, what blockchain is, how it's going to change lives.

Not talking about investing, talking about understanding the future. Take the smart crypto course right now and understand the future. smart crypto course.com or you can call 877 pBL back 877 pbl back it's smart crypto course dot com boy i tell you it's been a big week here at the blaze tv yesterday uh we announced chad prether is uh joining the blaze tv lineup which is going to be great called humor me it's a new show he's a musician and comedian he sells out shows all across the country uh if you haven't heard of chad prether um he's one of these new stars that, you know, just kind of like, why is there a giant crowd of 20,000 people across the street?

Chad Braither. Yeah, really funny guy. Yeah, really funny. Really nice guy. Common sense. He's kind of the Will Rogers of our side and of our time. And he's joining us. We announced that yesterday.

And also, Matt Kibby has a brand new program. That's the libertarian bent of Blaze TV. That's just one of the libertarian bent. And we also have. Stephen Crowder returning for a brand new season today. And Steve Dase has put out a new book called Truth Bombs, which, Steve, the reaction to truth bombs, do people want the truth? Yes and no.

I think where we're at now, with Trump listening to conservative media and going back to his original pledge, not to sign another continuing resolution. and forcing this confrontation and watching how the Republican Party never wanted this confrontation in mass whatsoever. I think the timing of that is almost serendipitous to providential because I think there's a new audience for the message of this book, Glenn, that probably wouldn't have existed even six months ago. Yeah, I think that while there's lots of things that Donald Trump has done that we like, we never really got to the root of the problem that the Republican Party, they didn't, want to, none of them wanted to get rid of Obamacare. None of them really wanted to do anything

about the border. It's just a game that they continue to play with us over and over and over again, and they usually have no spine. But because Donald Trump listens to the people, I think, he has stood strong on this and knew I'm toast if I don't. And I think it's opening up a whole new world. When I wrote this book, you know, I did it, I wanted to minimize Trump's role in this, in this drama intentionally, because I don't, I don't think the cake has changed. I say this on my daily show on The Blaze all the time. The cake is still the same. We just have this zany new frosting on top of it called Trump. It's the same political cake that it's always been. And so I spend one chapter in the book, I go into all of my history with Trump, how we tried to woo me to support him early in

his presidential run. And I did that on purpose, because, you know, I did that on purpose, because, you know, Because one of the major themes in this book is Trump is neither the problem nor the solution. He is the symptom. Frankenstein's monster doesn't create itself. If Trump is everything his detractors claim he is, Glenn, he can only be in the position he is in right now if the system is everything guys like you and I were saying it was before Trump ever came down that escalator. He exploited what the system has become to his own advantage.

And he speaks for abase of people. You know, for most of his adult and public life, Trump has been one of the fair-haired set. And now he's watched as they've turned on him. The Jay-Zs, the LeBrons, the Snoop Dog, the people that couldn't wait to get their picture taken with them before, the minute he put an R after his name and spoke directly to the values of Main Street America,

and whether he did it because he believed it or political opportunism or a little bit of both, it didn't matter. Once he provided a platform to Main Street, America, suddenly all these people turned on him because it isn't about Trump. It's about the hatred for the base of everyday Americans that he represents. And the only, in my 10 plus years of working full-time in political activism on campaigns from president to school board, I've learned one truth among many that stands above the rest, and that's this. The only political party in America that hates everyday Americans, conservatives, orthodox religious believers, more than the Democrats,

are the Republicans. What makes you say that? The way they behave. And in this book, I knew people were going to ask questions where I made statements like that. So there's 10 pages of footnotes in this book. There's over 140 footnotes in this book. To borrow a biblical phrase so that no one is with,

no one is without, or no one has an excuse. Okay? So the reality is look at the way they behave. In fact, let's just go to the, I could point out primaries, how they always come out harder after us than they do Democrats. But let's just look at what Mitt Romney did, the day he arrived in Washington as a would-be senator, before he was sworn in. So this is a guy that goes to work every day in the Senate. And surrounding him are people who think it's a great idea and enlightened to take a pair of forceps, shove them up a woman's uterus, essentially attach them to the skull of her child, penetrate it, smash it so they then can vacuum out the baby's brains and the rest of its parts limb by limb.

And now his concern is Trump's being, all those people represent, he's silent. But now Trump's problems are the ones that he needs to address immediately in the pages of the Washington Post. Trump's moral problems are well documented. But the reality is Trump's moral problems right now aren't getting in the way of you and me earning a paycheck or living in a society that is worthy of passing on to our children. People that want to suck the brains out of little babies, their lack of integrity. and their moral problems.

They're the ones getting in the way of that. And so here we see Mitt Romney in the last two weeks has gone harder after Donald Trump than he did the entire final six months of the general election campaign, go after Barack Obama. And we have seen this pattern over and over again because Democrats inspire their base to get what they want, Glenn.

Republicans conspire against their base to get what they want. The Republicans want to beat Democrats in elections, just not for the same reasons we want to beat them. And in the end, if the choices, losing the Democrats or losing control of the Republican Party, they will choose losing the Democrats. And I'll make one final point on this. Look at the never Trump thing that you and I were originally part of. So most big guys like you, me, Shapiro, Erickson, there was a group of us who like, this guy's moral problems are way too high to gamble that he'll provide any conservative

return on investment whatsoever. It's not worth risking the capital. Well, what we're finding out now that Trump has actually moved more to the right than we ever thought as president, would populate CNN and MSNBC and what you're going to find is with their complaints about Trump's boorish behavior or a camouflage a cover most of our old never Trump movement were people that were actually never conservative I would agree with you on that wholeheartedly and you know because those people will not say anything good about him if look my concerns and I said this on the air my concern was I don't think he's going to do any of these things because he's never shown a willingness to stand up to those kinds of

things and stand up and fight for him. That's not who he's ever been. But he is listening. He is, I will tell you this. I think this president, it might be the biggest servant president we have had in, in the last 20 years, perhaps. Maybe George Bush. But I, And what I mean is, and no, I can't even say George Bush, listening, listening to the people who voted for him. I don't think he wanted to shut down the government. I don't think he wanted to do all of this. That wasn't his first instinct. But he saw the writing on the wall and he realized, that's not, that's what they put me in for.

Okay, I'm going to stand. And, you know, the people are telling him every day you're losing your shirt. I don't think he is. I think he's actually, I think he's actually. winning because no one has ever stood with the people against the system. I agree with that. Before, let me say it again. And since Reagan left a national stage, and Reagan left the national stage in January of 1989,

I was not yet legal to get a driver's license. And I have a senior in high school oldest child right now. And so we're still talking about Reagan. And that's a generation before even Al Gore invented the internet to tell you, And I bring that up to point out that what you and I are talking about is true, because I would argue since Reagan left the national stage for all his faults, and I don't hide from any of Trump's faults. I don't know what in the Sam Hill Rudy Giuliani was doing on CNN last night. I don't know what that was. What the hell?

I don't know why he hired guys like Paul Manafort, who were complete, you know, Putin clowns. I don't know the answers to those questions, but here's what I do know. The only Republican in a leadership position in the last 25 years to sympathetic to the core, of the average Republican-based voter is Donald Trump, not the two Bushes that were president, not McRomney, the previous two presidential nominees, not McConnell, not McCarthy, not Scalese, not Paul. All we did with Paul Reiner and John Boehner, Glenn, we traded a chain smoker for a crossfitter, but we got everything else. So he's the only guy that cares what we think for all.

And this is why, if you're wondering, why are people so loyal to him? There is a political cult aspect to it. No, politicians have it, and I've talked about that, too. But a lot of it is, as we just saw before Christmas, if Rush Limbaugh goes on the air and trashes Kevin McCarthy, he's not doing a dang thing. He did it to, he did it to Donald Trump. And dude said, you know what, we're going to have to reverse course here. He's the only one who cares what we think. Glenn, he's the only one.

I agree with you, Steve. I actually agree with you. I don't think Donald Trump is the leader in the traditional sense, but I don't think that, necessarily that's what America wants anymore. Right now, they want someone who will listen to them. Because I think the common sense of the average person is better than any leader that I have found. And for all of his faults, he is listening to his people and to America. And I think that with all of his faults, that's exactly what we may need at this time to be able to save the

Republic. More with Steve Dace and Truth Bombs in just a second. First, we have cleared out all the commercials in this hour.

Beck. We break for 10 seconds station ID. So Steve, back with Steve Dase and he's written the book, Truth Bomb. Let's go over. I think your book is really important because we have to prepare

ourselves for 2020 and 2024. And I think these parties are imploding. But people will say, and you cover this in your book, you got to vote. for the Republican.

You know, it's too hard for a third party. And you take those things apart. Start with a third party. The number one reason we don't have a third party, and there's other reasons. I didn't say it was the only one. But the number one reason we don't is there's just too much damn money to be made, shilling and pimping the Republican Party.

That's why. And that's just the reality. Careers get made. Food gets put on the table. There are whole people that, I'm thinking of, as it Manu Raji, I believe is his name. He's essentially Mitch McConnell's stenographer. He essentially walks in the Mitch McConnell's office. He tells him what to write, what to say, what today's lead is from GOP Senate leadership. And that's a quote-unquote story.

And this goes on, and we have too many conservative blogs that are essentially facsimiles and stenographers for certain donor blocks of the Republican Party or factions of the GOP. and this is devolved into the cliqueservative notion that we've seen in the last few years. There's just too much money to be made and maintaining the status quo. And that's why, you know, one of the examples, when I knew we were screwed, is I was on the air every night in Louisville on my old syndicated show live. And I had Matt Bebben on my show all the time when he was trying to primary Mitch McConnell. And at that time, I was doing a lot of interviews as kind of your token conservative.

derivative on MSNBC panels and stuff. And we would talk about this primary all the time. And I'm like, I think Bevin's going to win. I mean, everybody hates McConnell. Bevin's, you know, got his own money to spend. He's well known. He's a great candidate. And he's such a good candidate.

He's a governor of Kentucky now. We got to primary night. Several friends of mine worked on this campaign. So I knew what was going on on the inside. We get to primary night. And you look at the turnout. Now, Kentucky's the state where I think twice in the last 20 years, the Democrat nominee for president didn't even get 40% of the vote statewide and a

presidential election. It's pretty red state. We get to primary night and more people voted in the Democratic Senate primary than voted in the Republican Senate primary that night, despite all the media attention, except you know where all the media attention was on CNN and MSNBC, which our base doesn't consume. I went and googled Fox. I went to Fox News.com. I googled Matt Bevin, Mitch McConnell, got like no results. We've never talked about it. It never shows up on the front page of Drudge. And so here we are with a vastly superior candidate. McConnell, not some local yokel who believes in chemtrails, a guy who's the freaking governor of the state right, didn't turn out our voters because they didn't even know he existed, Glenn. And this is,

this is why we can't ever beat these guys in these primaries. This is why whoever tells you, hey, we're going to launch a 10-year war to take back to Republican Party. You know, one of my good friends is one of the original donors of the GOP from the old Sharon statement. He's been, he once told me, Steve, I've been fighting for, you know, we've been fighting for taking over the Republican Party for 50 years. And I told him, brother, with all the respect, I don't want to do this for 50 years. And the country doesn't have 50 years. So the biggest problem we have is this. Corporate America has turned against us in the last generation. There aren't any more Lee Ayacoccas anymore who either supported our values or we're willing to fund them because they understood that Democrats

were terrible for their economic model. What's happened now was youth soccer economics have taken over Wall Street. Progressivism is in every boardroom. They're now funding all the cultural causes we're against and they've decided, you know what, instead of fighting big government, we just buy it off and they make you buy our health insurance if we do that. Well, I will tell you this. That started because of Reagan in, I think it was 1986 or 88 with the Tides Foundation. That was their goal. They learned through Reagan. We've got too many people in boardrooms that are conservative. We have too many people running companies that are conservative. We need to get people in. at the highest echelons of corporate America and take over from there.

And they've done it. And they did it effectively. And any time you ever talk about it, it's a conspiracy theory. But it's well documented. That's what they set out to do. When you talk to Republicans about that, they want nothing to do with it. They're like, that won't work. And I'm not in it for that long.

I'm just going to put my money behind this guy. The problem is, is that socialists and those, who want to destroy this country, think long term. We don't. If you want to think long term and know the truth, know the truth about yourself, your argument, our side, the conservative movement. How do we win in 2020? How do we win in 2024? And how do we save the nation?

The book is Truth Bombs by Steve Dase, Truth Bombs, Steve Dase. He'll tell you more about it after this program on the... The Blaze Radio and Television Network. You're listening to Glenn Beck. Well, we have an epidemic of people eating crappy foods in America, and I celebrate it. Epidemic seems bad, would I put it that way. But, yeah, a lot of food is maybe not that good for you. Maybe you're not getting all your vegetables like your mommy told you to.

It's because a lot of the stuff we do, we say, oh, it's a super food. And then we take, you know, and we mark things superfood, but it's all supplements. It's not actually the food. It's a supplement. And they call it superfoods. So Field of Greens is an actual superfood. Now, I'm not going to, I'm sorry, but I'm just not having kale. I'm not.

He watches the economy and kind of the overall global scope of technology. and everything, everything that we're talking about, basically. And tries to tie it all together.

And I wanted to bring him in today and talked a little bit about what's just happened in China that no one is talking about. I mean, we can talk about Nancy Pelosi and Donald Trump locking horns. Fine. Don't do the state of the union. I think America will cheer. That's not a punishment, Nancy. That's a present. But you're going to hear a lot of coverage on that.

That's not important. This is, listen. So, yeah, over the last several days, just some really interesting kind of red flag signals coming out of the Asian markets. Two really important reports came out. We've had significant drops in the Baltic Dry Index, which is one of the global indices that a lot of analysts look at and certainly one that we track here. But it had its largest. Wait, what is the Baltic Dry Index in case that I didn't know? So this is all of the shipping that.

comes out of the Baltic Sea in terms of industrial production, grain. And you look at that index for what is happening in that sector of the world, the Eurasian sector of the world, for everything that they're manufacturing and exporting to the world. Economies like Korea, Singapore, certainly some of the former Soviet states, produce significant amounts of steel of other commodities grain, and they export that to the world. And they're heavily reliant on those exports for, their income, whereas we're a consuming income.

They're a heavy export incomes. So the Baltic grind debts is something that world economies really need to pay attention to. When there is a slowdown in that index, and it's reported every month, that is a very strong sign that there is a slowdown in manufacturing globally. People don't need the iron ore and people don't need the other commodities that are coming out of those markets. And then very specific economies like Korea, South Korea and Singapore are two of the largest technology manufacturers in the world in terms of exporters.

And both of those countries reported a slowdown pretty significantly. The Baltic Dry Index dropped by 17% in one month, which was its largest drop in one month since the financial crisis of 2009. So fairly significant warning sign and something that certainly if you are invested in stocks overseas and equity markets overseas, is definitely something to be paying close attention to. The thing that I found really disturbing is the amount of money that China has now just poured in to their economy. Now, we do this with the Fed, and it's not healthy, but we did this with the Fed with, I want to say tarp, but it's not tarp, it's not stimulus. When we were pouring it in. Quantitative easing.

Yes. Quantitative easing. Thank you. Quantitative easing. We did this for several years and we were putting about $80 billion a month and basically printing money and throwing it into the economy to stimulate things. You know, or buying bad assets and putting them under an umbrella of assets when they were bad. They were failed crap.

And that way you could pump money into the system. Well, we thought it was dangerous to do $80 billion a month, to the tune of about $3 to $4 trillion, right? In the end, quantitative easing? That's where we've ended up. So the Fed has been slowly unwinding its balance sheet and dumping now $50 billion a month into the markets. So it's selling off the debt it had acquired. Right. And it's selling those back into the markets.

Okay. So we did anywhere between $4 and $7 trillion. And that was insane. In the last four days, China has pumped $50 trillion into their market. 50, 50. And it's effectively the same mechanism. So what China is doing is they are, the central bank, the People's Bank of China, is printing money to buy assets.

Now, that's the way they refer to these things. They are buying bonds, corporate bonds, mostly in government-backed companies. So, you know, very different from how we are in the United States, but mostly it is a central bank buying bonds to own part of companies that are already owned by the government anyway. So you have a bank that's owned by the government printing money to buy bonds in banks that are owned by the government. And China's claim over the last several days is that, you know, they've done $1.1 trillion of direct bank bond buying to, pump liquidity into the market so that Chinese citizens have money to pull out of banks to pay their taxes. This is the shell game that literally is in their report. So think, $50 trillion in four days so people can pay their taxes.

Why not just say you don't have pay your taxes here? It's the same money. It's the same money. So if anyone wants to look this up, this is a publicly available report. It is called the People's Bank of China Financial Stability Report 2018, and it just came out. a few days ago. Now, so you know, we usually don't trust. You don't take these things at face value because they don't have to tell the truth.

And so they usually make a lot of this stuff, you know, when it comes to how their economy is doing, et cetera, et cetera, we take it with a grain of salt. So if they say it's always in their favor, though, right? It's always in their favor. They want to make China look stronger. Correct. So when they're telling you bad news, it's really bad. And so here's how they've done this.

If you look at the first few pages of this report, you'll see tables where the Chinese government is claiming that the balance sheet of the People's Bank of China is $6 trillion. That's what's on balance sheet, very much like our Fed does. Our central bank says we have $4 trillion of assets. Again, we printed money to buy bonds of assets on our balance sheet. Now, so you remember, just to put this in context, in 2008, remember all those crappy loans, all those CDOs, all... Mortgage-backed securities. All the crap that was not worth... anything that everybody was defaulting on.

Those were the assets that we bought. The troubled asset relief program. Correct. So they bought all of those troubled assets and said, no, no, no, we're going to shine these up. It's really not that bad. And we're going to count them as gold over here. So we've got these assets.

That's what China is doing, except to the tune of 50 trillion. But wait, there's more. So the interesting thing is to find this, this money, $50 trillion that they've just reported for the first time. It's the first time it's been in this report. You actually have to dig to page 64. So again, anyone can go download this. It's widely available. But on page 64 of the Financial Stability Report of the People's Bank of China, for 2018, you can find this data. In addition to the $50 trillion they've had added, they already had $42 trillion, and they record these as off-balance sheet assets, not on-balance sheet so that

everyone knows what they are. They are off balance sheet assets totally $92 trillion going back all the way to the financial crisis. There's a second set of books. Now, if China is admitting this, imagine how bad it actually is. What do you think is happening in China and how much of this has to do with trade? And what does that mean to the average person here? So China, So China is a very interesting market when you think about bankers who work for state-owned banks and when you think about companies, the presidents and accountants for these companies that are also state-owned. They know they're running bad loans, but if you run a bad loan in China, you go to jail.

If you do a bad loan here, you just get out of the market and, you know, no one trusts you with money anymore. But in China, you and your family end up in prison if your loan defaults. So what China does is just continues to refinance old loans that were. going bad and weren't performing and couldn't possibly raise new debt in the open market, and they just print new money to roll over these old loans. So it is not new financial assets that the central bank is buying. It's loans from, you know, eight years ago that were still bad and aren't performing,

and they just refinance that loan for another five years and just keep rolling it and rolling it and rolling it. The interesting thing of the $92 trillion of off-balance sheet assets, and this will be familiar to us because of the 2008-200, nine financial crisis, about $64 trillion of that $92 trillion is mortgage-backed securities. Oh, my gosh. That is what the Chinese central bank is continuing to refinance are all of these ghost cities that they are just rolling over those loans over and over and over again. So what we did to the tune of a few trillion dollars, they've done to the tune of $64 trillion.

So what does that mean to the average person? What should that tell you? Right now there's about $22 trillion. of foreign investment money in China. So this is money that came from businesses, private investors in the United States. It came from hedge funds. It comes from our central bank

and other large banks in the U.S. investing in China. It comes from companies like Apple that have significant investments in those markets. And when China begins to unravel, those assets will not be allowed offshore. The $20 trillion of investment that sits in China from the outside,

half of it from the United States, China will just seize that. They'll just say, you can't take this money back. That money has to stay here. So there is a significant risk profile for a lot of companies, Apple probably being at the top of that list, as far as I'm concerned, of companies that have invested massive amounts of their U.S.-based capital or Western-based capital and have invested it in China for manufacturing purposes.

If China starts to go unstable, I mean, what is the, what, do you have any idea yet on what you think the, that's going to break the camels back? Is it going to be Brexit? Is it going to be uprisings in Europe? Will it be Germany or Italy or China or Russia? Oil with Saudi Arabia? What is?

Yeah, these are great points. Any number of these could be that spark that really starts the fire. Certainly, Italy is in a serious banking crisis right now. It just seems like it's been ongoing, so no one's talking about it. But it has gotten so much worse just in the last 12 months compared to where it was. Saudi Arabia, another great example, taking on billions of dollars of debt basically every month because they need oil to be at $75 to $80 a barrel to be profitable with it.

Saudi Arabia is in trouble. Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia goes unstable. God help anyone in the Middle East. They like them, don't like them. They are stability. So this is them being stable. I just want to make sure I understand.

This is them being stable. Imagine what it's like when they're not stable. stable. Their princes are like capturing other family members and holding them hostage at the four seasons. But this is the time. Because they need their money. Right. They're taking that money. They're taking their money. So we are on the edge of something. And we just had, who was it that was on the show last week, Stu, that said we are looking at category six storm. And I asked him, where would you put the Great Depression? And he said, category five. So he's, you. He was predicting something much more significant than the Great Depression. I feel that is coming as well, but I'm a catastrophist. What to you, with all of the research that you do and you're a pretty optimistic guy, you're just a realist. What do you think is coming?

Sure. We certainly could see something on the scale of the Great Depression over the next several years. It is certainly possible. What has been amazing, even though we're seeing a significant economic slowdown globally right now, is how resilient the U.S. markets have continued to be. It's been awesome. You know, they've gained back 50% of what they lost from September, October, has now been recovered. We are a key Fibonacci ratio as far as that recovery goes.

So as long as you have assets invested in the United States, especially safe assets here, you'll probably weather that storm as well as anywhere you could in the world. Justin, thank you very much. We're going to try to work in the next. year to to take this information and make it usable for you somebody who doesn't necessarily have a lot of money and you're not playing the stock market and you're not an international investor but what you have to do to remain stable if you are over 55 I am not an investment advisor do not take my word for it do your own

homework but I will tell you I think we're coming up to something that is going to be a very long event horizon and the turnaround. If you're 50, 55, maybe beyond your retirement, I've taken 75% of everything I have out of stock markets because I just, I think something bad is coming. And the shoe will drop. I just don't know which shoe it will be, but there are shoes being pushed to the edge all over the world. Thanks, Justin. All right, let me tell you about American Finance.

You know, it's crazy. is back with when the Vanderbilts were, you know, around, when the Gettys, the real wealth of the world had wealth. They did some pretty crazy things.

But when you look at the Vanderbilt's and their lifestyle back in the 1800s, all they were trying to do is live the life that you're living now. Yeah, they can travel. They can have ice when they want it. It just was really expensive to go get ice. You needed Vanderbilt money to get it. but they were basically living in really huge houses, the life we live now. In fact, we have a better life than they did back then.

Today's wealth in Silicon Valley is just getting crazy. In San Francisco, it is so bad, there's literal piles of human poop on the sidewalks. People are starving. People are dying. And just a couple of blocks away from that, Two cats are living in their own personal apartment. It was the worst of times.

It's Relieffactor.com. Now, imagine. Imagine you have a 72-inch 4K ultra-HD television connected to a gadget that you always wanted. The Bose soundbar. You have a subwifference. and everything, you know, every time something big happens on the screen, the walls shake. But then the channel is changed. On the couch, a cat has swiped the remote for the Apple TV,

and all of a sudden you're back to QVC, that damn cat. What to do? Well, as reported in the Mercury News, you get your cat an apartment. 43-year-old Troy Good rented a $1,500 a month apartment for two cats. Now, these are two cats that his daughter adopted just recently and then went to school. What to do, what to do. He didn't want him living with him, so he decided he would just rent. an apartment. Now, this story might be cute. If it wasn't so strange, dystopian, and irresponsible,

in San Francisco, $117,000 is considered low income. So these are low income cats. How much do they earn do we now? Well, $1,500 a month. Okay. It has been consistently ranked one of the most expensive cities to live in in America. This is Newport, Rhode Island of our day. And if you ever thought that, you know, Gadsby or any of these guys that, you know, supposedly lived in Newport, you know, the Gadsby is the, is the joke of or the literary device for the excess of that time period. They didn't have cats for their houses, houses for their cats, I don't think.

I'm pretty sure. Not even apartments? I don't think they did. Ridiculous wealth is happening now in San Francisco. And that's fine. That's fine. I don't have a problem. You want to have a Lamborghini and, you know, you park it and you don't turn the wheels into the curb on the steepest street I've ever seen.

That's fine. That's your Lamborghini. That's whatever. This is your cat. You want to rent an apartment for your cat. That's fine. But California and San Francisco in the throat. in the throes of full-fledged crisis right now.

Piles of poop all over the city. You mentioned this story, I think it was late last year, where a light pole fell in a car. Yes. Do you remember this? Uh-huh. Okay, so I can't remember the street. It was like pine and something.

But there was, you know, those big heavy metal light poles. It was on a corner. Car pulls up, doesn't pull all the way. to the to the to the the the crosswalk thankfully thankfully uh this light pole all of a sudden nobody hits it nothing it just er and crashes on the hood of this car if the car would have been four feet forward it would have killed the passenger okay it's a giant light pole why did the giant light pole fall well um the after investigation uh they found out that too many humans were peeing on the pole and it corroded the metal.

And because of human urine, that light pole collapsed and almost killed somebody. Same way the Grand Canyon was formed, by the way. A lot of people don't know that. A lot of people don't know that. So you have mentally ill people. You have you have tents all over the city. You have poop all over the city. You have urine soaked light poles fall.

I mean, this is a crazy thing. And then you have a guy who says, you know what? I'm going to rent this for my cats. Now, again, you can rent it for your cats. But I'm guessing this guy is living in San Francisco. I'm guessing, yeah, it could be wrong. I'm guessing he's one of these guys also that wants to save the world and social justice warrior and everything else. The reason why is because his 18-year-old got some kittens,

named them after the characters on Bob's burgers, made an Instagram account for them, then went off to college, and she just didn't have any other choice. If my son or daughter ever came to me and said, Dad, I need you to rent an apartment for my cats just for four years. I might disown them. I might say, you know what,

I'm going to take you to court. I'm divorcing. I think the average American would be more likely to have those cats served at Bob's burgers. After that, it's a lot of renting an apartment for them for several years. That's crazy, isn't it? That's amazing. On the crazy front as well, I think, you know, last week, we told you that, you know, the feminist movement is just going to keep growing.

It's getting stronger and stronger and Gillette. this week comes out and shows the toxic masculinity. And it's just, it's just getting so great now for women. And you can finally do what women have always wanted to do. January is now January-Hary month. And they are urging, feminists are urging women not to shave.

Oh. Don't shave your armpits. It's January. You know, nothing is going to. going to win people over to feminism more than unshaved armpits of women. I think that's probably your quickest path to success. And I think they should try.

Maybe all the candidates for 2020, there's a lot of women. It's the year of the woman, as every year is, the year of the woman. Maybe this is something they can embrace. I mean, I think this would help sell their candidacy, make a little bit of news. Why not? So they're also saying that you shouldn't pluck your eyebrows. And you should just let your hair grow. Just let your hair grow.

Just, you know what? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I mean, we're not monkeys. We're not, and even monkeys has another monkey that's picking the crap out of their fur. You know what I mean? Yeah.

You know, even monkeys groom themselves. That's true. It's just called grooming. Now, if you don't like the social norms, that's fine. But don't try to make this into a movement.

Because you, for some reason, are empowered because you have hairy armpits. You can do that all you want. And you can be the hairy armpit lady. Go for it. Celebrate your spirit the way you want to celebrate your spirit. I lived in a house next to a teepee growing up. I know these people.

Okay. And I'm open-minded and I didn't mind the people in the teepee. I didn't know why they didn't build a house. and eventually they did build a house, but I think they used it mainly for storage because they still lived in the teepee, but to each his own, whatever. But don't expect me to go,

oh, you go, girl. Oh, there's nothing better than a big hairy armpit on a beautiful woman, a black cocktail dress, a string of pearls and hairy armpits. You had me at hairy armpits. That's class right there. It is.

I will say it's so typical of you, a shining example of toxic masculinity. Yeah. To advocate for something named after the male side of a marriage, the groom. You right here on the air have shown once again your patriarchal tendencies. No, that's not the same word. Grooming. It's turn us all into men because men are the only approach.

The only approved gender. My gosh. Did you hear what he just said? Did an American just hear what he said? He just said grooming. Mm-hmm. It's just like you, you pedophiliac. Let me get there.

To talk about grooming and to encourage grooming of young people into your sexual wants and desires. You were encouraging grooming. I was criticizing you for encouraging. I want nothing to do with you. your lifestyle because I'm going to say it I think grooming children for your sexual desire is wrong Stu I'm going to say it I'm going to have the guts to say it you want to play intersectionality battle with me you want to play intersectionality we'll do it brother we should play intersectionality as a game on the air at some point we should just who has been violated the most by the horrible

society that's been built by the number one civilization of all time is a good game that is That is a good game. I think we need to play that. I know. Well, we have to come up with it first. Well, yes, but that's how these things happen. We just say it on the air. It's like somebody, you know, somebody, Milton or Bradley said,

Monopoly. We should sell a game named Monopoly. Let's start playing it right now, but we don't have Milton. But what we need Milton is like a little metal car. Oh, I know. What does everyone think is really relevant? A thimble. Let's put a thimble in there.

Yes. Everyone loves thimble. We've got it. So we're this close to a brand new game called intersectionality. A thimble away. Yes. All right. Oh, my gosh.

What a sexist. Oh, a thimble. Like women have to be home sewing. Is that what you think about women? Is that what you think about women? No, that's not what I think. By the way, I consider myself a woman. So don't toy with me.

I bet you're spelling an E.N instead of Y, N, aren't you? Here is. Here's our sponsor in this F hour. It is Car shield. Car shield is a great way.

Station ID. You know, I think when I get to be about 70 or maybe 80, I can't imagine. I can't imagine retiring, but if I ever retire, I think what I want to do is go to adult Disneyland. Okay. Adult Disneyland? You don't know what Adult Disneyland is? I'm assuming it's different than regular Disneyland. I believe Adult Disneyland, I mean, for those on a budget, is Walmart.

Adult. Absolutely. You can go and you can sit for hours and just watch people. And it's like the Pirates of the Caribbean. It's a little bit of everything. It's a little bit of everything. Here in Texas, in Wichita Falls, Texas, police were called to a local Walmart because they had a woman who would not leave the store had spent several hours driving an electric shopping cart around the store's parking lot. Now, the problem is, you know, you shouldn't do that.

But also she was she was drinking and driving. Oh, okay. And it's not that she was just drinking and driving. She was drinking a lot of wine. But she was drinking it out of a, out of a Pringles can. That's innovative. If that's not Disneyland for adults, I don't know what is. Now, you could be the person drinking it out of the Pringles can,

or you could be the person just watching. it. Just going, this is great entertainment. So it was like a little sour cream and onion shably? Yeah, I don't know if she, wait, I don't know if she was trying to hide the booze. You know what I mean? Or if she thought, you know what? You haven't lived until you've had the sour cream and onion, you know, a cabernet. It's delicious.

I like that. What about a Merlot with Cheez-em. Cheez-em with Merlot might be interesting. It's wine and cheese. Yeah, it's just a combination. This woman is a genius. We're chasing her. out? She's just come up with a faster way to have a wine and cheese party.

I think this is brilliant. And she actually got booted for this? I would expect more from Walmart. Yeah, well, she was riding around the electric cart for three hours. Did she crash into stuff? Pardon me? Did she crash into stuff? Uh, no. No. She was not arrested. She was just asked not to come back to the store. Ever? For one time drinking wine out of a preco's can? For one little three hour period drinking wine out of a. Pringles can and driving one of their shopping carts around.

That's, that's, that's offensive to me. Yeah. Now, the police, by the time the police came, she had, she had, she had, she had left. She left the shopping cart there. She took the Pringles. Good for her. And, and, uh, and, uh, about an hour, about an hour later, they found her at a nearby, uh, where she, uh, she had ordered some food, but nothing to drink.

She had it in her pringles can. Uh, and they didn't arrest her. They just said, uh, we're just here to tell you. Walmart doesn't like your kind around these parts. Yeah. Yeah. That seems like the exact kind they want. No, I don't know if Walmart.

I think, no, no. I think those people just care. I'm not stopping. I'm not going anymore. That's why I go. Exactly right. They said, I thought they wanted me there. The reason, I mean, I don't think Walmart wants those kind of people.

I think those people just come. It's not like Walmart's like, how can we get really fat out of shape people that just want to wear spandex thongs to shop here. But that's what's great about Walmart. Because I love Walmart. I go there all the time. I do too. And I'm not necessarily the guy who's going to be drinking wine.

I don't like wine, first of all, but wine out of a Pringles can. But would I eat raw cookie dough in the aisle? Yeah, 100%. That's why I go. That's like the main reason I show up. You know, I always feel guilty and I don't want to feel this way anymore. If I go shopping with my wife, I do grab something out of an aisle and I eat it. but like nothing that you would have to weigh, you know, like I'll go to a place, you know,

and I've not done this, but I could do this. I could see me doing this when, you know, when I get to the point to where I really don't care, I'm almost there. But when I really don't care and when I say I really don't care, I don't care what even my wife thinks. Sure. That's when I'm going. She'll say, God, show, I'm going to.

I'm okay. And I'll just go to, you know, get some, you know, hey, we need some. some plastic silverware. Get the plastic silverware. Get some spoons. Go to the ice cream aisle. Open up a big tub of ice cream and walk around my wife. Eat the ice cream with the plastic spoon I bought.

And I'll pay for both of them. Right. And I don't want your dirty looks. No, of course not. That's the Walmart guarantee as far as I know. That's what the smiley face says to me. Really? Right?

Yeah. Eat. Eat. What do you want? You pay for it. Yeah. But absolutely. How you want, when you want, when you want, what you want.

I believe in capitalism. I do too. When you go, the more. important time, I believe, is when you're shopping by yourself. Because there's a certain level of disgusting snack that you really want to eat, but you don't want to eat in front of your wife. That's when you eat that in the aisles. And then you eat it before you get home.

You're such a rookie. You don't want to eat it in front of your wife or you don't want any evidence for anyone to know that you've eaten it. Well, I mean, if you're eating it publicly at Walmart, there's, you are going to be. Well, those are people that you don't know. Right. Okay. Yeah, that's fine.

As long as no one knows. around people who shop at Walmart, you just shop at Walmart yourself. Oh, is that it? You're not one of them. That's how they got to be the world's greatest retailer. Yeah, I'm not like that person over there drinking wine out of the Pringles Cup. I just come here and I'm a classy Walmart shopper. That's the way you do.

I just, look, if I spill some of this ice cream on my shirt, I'm going over and I'm going to get a shirt off the rack and I'll change into it and I'll put my ice cream stained shirt that I wore in here into the carriage. And I will pay for the shirt that I'm wearing and the ice cream that I'm eating and the spoon that I took out of the box. I'll pay for all of them because I'm a classy Walmart jumper.

We've got a couple of things. I want you to know that. Mercury 1 is working with our Pentagon right now, even as we speak, the U.S. soldiers that were killed as a part of, you know, what we're doing over in the Middle East, ISIS has claimed responsibility for this. We are going to make sure that their families are taken care of. We would love for your help. If you would like to help us on that, just go to Mercury1.org. and let's make sure that their families are taking care of, that the children have, you know, school and everything that they could possibly need

as they've lost their loved one or their father, their spouse. You can go to mercury one.org. All right. Well, we could talk about the guy who has been abducted by aliens, which is pretty interesting. Or don't forget about the wine and Pringle's update. Oh, we have an update on that. Yes, the bar in Houston has decided to start serving wine in Pringle's cans in honor of the incident we just talked about.

It was awesome. It's called the branch, I think. The ranch, the branch, something like that. Oh, my gosh. The branch. I think that's a friend of ours restaurant. I think that. I don't know.

The Branch is the name of it. A Houston bar. Maybe not. Maybe not. So served box Shabli and Merlo and mini cans of Pringles starting Wednesday night. It's classy. That's class. Or we could talk to Stephen Baldwin.

Stephen Baldwin is here in studio, an actor in a new movie called The Least of These. Let me start with this. Have you ever gone to Walmart and been in one of their little riding, you know, shopping carts while drinking any kind of wine out of a Pringle's can? And do you look down on those people that do that? at this time glint my only response can possibly be yeah sir i am not aware of any such activity nor if i were i most definitely could not disclose such activity right right in any kind of a public broadcasting yeah how are you i haven't seen you in a long time yeah i mean i've seen you but i haven't seen you face to face you too and uh gosh there's a whole bunch you want to say to you first i

want to start with quit monkeying around january really guys no it's not our idea we're against it we're saying stop we're also i i will say quit monkeying around glenn i'm just picking it out of picking stuff out of other people's fur listen there is you know there's important stuff to talk about yes there's important stuff to talk about this world has gone insane buddy insane When Stephen Baldwin sits at the mic with you this many years later on the blaze, and God bless you for your success. Thank you. By the way, the interview is over in 10 seconds.

Do I get one share of stock after the new merger? Just one one. Larry? No. God bless him. See, he knows how to do it. I just don't give one share in Hollywood. No.

Yeah. Sorry, Baldwin. Maybe. Leave if you want, Buster Brown. It's my show. So tell me about it. the movie you're in. The least of these, and the website, forgive me, is least of these. Dot movie, not dot com. Least of these dot movie is the biographical story of an Australian missionary

named Graham Staines, who in 1999 was murdered along with his two very young boys. He had been there for 15 years as a doctor with a medical clinic treating the ailing leprosy epidemic, which in the Hindi faith is a curse. He was a born-again Christian, but very conservative, and in the platform of that medical facility, he would evangelize, which is legal when asked about your faith. So then the writer of this particular screenplay was very smart to take all of that based on the true life story

and then create a really interesting fictional story about an Indian journalist, hired by a newspaper to try to expose the truth and this and that. It's this guy's journey of learning who this man was and is and this. So now it's kind of like this more of a theatrical adaptation of the, but it communicates who the guy was and the tragedy and the loss. And then his widow wife Gladys, who's alive today, the first response she had to the media after the events was, we just want all of India to know we forgive the people who, have done this. I love those people. I love people that forgive after the unforgivable. They just

forgive the unforgivable. And that happens sometimes, but in this instance, it really sent a shockwave in 99 across India. And the perpetrators were caught and tried and the one lead guy was hung. Went to prison and then was hung, as I understand it. Why did they kill him? I'm sorry? Why did they kill him just because of he was talking about his faith? Yeah, I think that he just was so within their culture, as conservative as he was, I just think he was just so peaceful. He was a threat. You know what I mean?

And that's wild in India, the home of Gandhi. Right. But when you get, you know, there's a couple bad apples usually in every bunch. And if you're a Hindi radical saying, hey, he's really using that as a cover. And these people are causing problems in our faith, in our region. Yeah, yeah. So that's the story. But as you know, you hear those, I love people who do that thing.

But really this guy's story, he's one of the anomalies in that thing. That really now on the 25th anniversary, Larry, or 20? 20th anniversary of that incident. God bless me in my... Boy, I can't believe it. I mean, it's 20 years since 1999. Yeah. 20 years.

That's crazy. Yeah. Anyway, go ahead. It's amazing. Apparently, we're still looking good, Glenn. Yeah. No, no, I'm not. You are.

I'm not. But that's a different story. That's the overall crux. Yeah. And now we've done this film adaptation. And it's, I'm not even joking around here. It's kind of already with churches and, you know, communities and socially going a little bit viral.

He's kind of one of the, within the world of global missionaries, he's kind of an icon. He was just one of these guys that really walked the walk, talk to talk, but then lost his life, tragically. This is going to be a fathom event, premiering. Last day of January, and then the next day it goes 700 screens. Wow. Yeah. Movies have changed, haven't they? I mean.

Mind-bogglingly so. Yeah, I mean, it's the... 9,000 new titles come out a month. 9,000 a month? 1,000? Correct. 9,000 feature films are globally distributed on some form of distribution worldwide per month. That's crazy.

Oh, my God. Do you see Netflix is... What did I tell you? Spending $3 billion in programming, and I think there are a billion dollars. hammerging a billion dollars a year now. I mean, it's just, I don't know how these things are going to last. I don't know either. But we are in a, we're in a time when if you want to make a movie and you can make a movie.

That's why I had to make movies that communicate the gospel, my friend. When did you become, tell me real quickly your story of when you became that that was the most important thing in your life. Well, to encapsulate that, I've been a pretty kooky kid. most of my life. Skydiver. I'm 52 now. I'm still riding a skateboard. And I just have been more of that,

you know, when you hear the boom, some look to it and run towards it. Or some people run, I'm a run towards the problem kind of guy. But not the same kind of guy. He used to be. Yeah, yeah, it used to be. You were a hard living guy. There's some fights I don't pick anymore, Glenn. Yeah.

So I just say that because I did everything you were supposed to do according to becoming a born again, scripturally what that means. Nicodemus, the whole conversation. And I went to God and I just said, look, my wife just got saved and this is cute, but I'm Stephen Baldwin. God said, oh, I forgot. I'll give you the punchline on this in a minute. And I said, Lord, you know, you created me. I got some talents and this, that's all, you know, I'm a good kisser.

My wife loves me. But ha, ha, ha. And I said, but my, the greatest piece I have found is plunging towards the planet at 120 feet per second. That's my what's up. That's cool to me. And I've done that 300 times. So I said to the Lord. if it ain't better than that.

And I've had a good run for a dumb kid from Massapequa. So I made this covenant. Supernaturally I said to the Almighty, here's the deal. If you reveal yourself to me in a way that I know it's you and it's better than that, you'll have a pit bull on the front lines, trust me. and he kept his end of the deal. And there really was never a moment that clicked. There was just some prophetic experiences I've had that just it only could have been him.

You know, and not everybody's down for that. You know, some people just want it once a week on Sunday and this, but I'm not built like that. Yeah, I'm kind of an all or nothing kind of guy too. I had to go all the way or nothing at all. And just waves of experience I could tell you about that. Even this film was difficult, you know, because I had to learn to talk like an Australian. Right. Good to see you, Glenn.

Right, right. You might. You know, you have to, I had to go through my process as an actor and create the character and find it. And there was, and we were on location in India. So it was difficult, but God told me to do the movie. So regardless of all that, regardless of, ha ha and you'll appreciate this when I say things like you you've struggled to do your thing as you felt your heart lead you correct and why do you think I asked for the one share of stock I told Larry coming in I go to say God bless these guys because I love that merger and I think that's going to get blessed I do too I think that's super cool I do too I do too it's good to have you here thanks man okay so the movie is happening on January 31st no February 1st oh February 1st oh February

And if that growing pain includes Nancy Pelosi's punishment of suggested

no state of the union, I mark that up as a giant win. Please, no, stop. Stop. Please don't do the state of the. Please don't make us not see the state of the union. Again, like, this is nothing to do. I mean, we've said this for a million. We've been mocking this since this show began.

every year they trot out the president and he has to say first of all he does the very long shaking hands with every single person thing Mr. Speaker. Then all the pomp and circumstance was this not that's not an American tradition. It's so weird. And then it goes to his walkout or, you know, and this is every president I've ever seen walking out and shaking hands with everybody and the people that will call him a racist or homophope tomorrow are the full struggle to get their pictures with him on the way out. Yes. I hate the whole. whole thing. I've always hated it. And you remember, it used to be a letter. The Constitution

does not say he has to make this speech. The Constitution says from time to time. I'm very concerned about this. Oh, me too. I hope Nancy Pelosi doesn't go through with it. Oh, I know. I would hate to lose this. It's an American tradition. It's basically, I mean, it's in the Constitution, Glenn. Did you know that? Oh, will the average person do without a state of the union address? Oh, I don't know. I gave earlier today. I gave it. I gave it. the president, uh, embrace this.

Please. Here's the advice. Do it. Embrace this. If she doesn't want to do it, fine. Uh, don't do it. Or do it and just do it with the GOP.

So that whole half of the Congress is empty. And you just kind of stroll up and make it very different and say, yeah, well, we're still here doing our job. And now these guys are getting paid. I like that. But we're still doing our job. And others are playing games and that's fine. But here are the things that you need to know.

And keep it really short. And to stop all the cheering and all that stuff. Right. I like that. I also like the idea of just tweeting the whole speech line by line and that's it. I also would like potentially like Trump picks his favorite 200 Twitter followers and has them to the White House for McDonald's and Burger King and Wendy's and Dominoes again. You know, he's listening to the people.

he's listening to the people this government shutdown is I think for most people doesn't matter now there are there is some pain but for most people it really doesn't matter

and the fact that it is pain it shows how flawed we are how big our government is something like this shouldn't be causing pain and you know it should be able to be withstood easily yep it shouldn't be this big of a part of our lives right and the state of the union

I got news for Nancy Pelosi, that's the worst punishment you could give us. Oh, yes. Signed America. You're listening to Glenn Beck.
