Well, sitting down now, of course, is Stu Berggear. Hello, Stu. Thank you very much, Glenn. I am seated. I appreciate you letting everyone know. Well, I mean, it just says stand up, but you seem to be seated every day. No one's really surprised. How are you, Stu? Good. How are you, ma'am? Very good. Very good. So I've been out on the road here for the last few days, and I'm in Houston. And so I've had, you know, some time in the hotel room late at night, just watching stuff. Have you watched the... the new Frazier yet? No, I have not. It's hysterical. Really? It's really hysterical. No political correct, nothing.

It's just funny. And I think it's his best work yet. Really? Of course, I have heard reviews of this from the mainstream media that have all said it's horrible. So it must be good. Oh, really? Yes.

Oh, it's really good. They're trying to destroy him. Do you see what happened to him on the BBC yesterday? No. He was on the BBC and he was doing an interview and they said, so politically, where do you stand? And he said, I'm still for Trump. You'd still vote for Trump? Yeah, I'd still vote for Trump.

And then immediately the PR people from Paramount Plus were like, oh, so they're like, this interview is done. Okay, I guess we're done talking about my show. he's not worried about talking about it he doesn't care he'll talk let's be honest about it but the PR people can't let that be heard you can't let anyone know that someone who gets you know half the vote in the country actually

has supporters that might be on your television right I mean you know there were 80 million people that voted for Donald Trump and let's not recognize them at all let's just keep that down the debate is tomorrow

I don't know about you but I'm very excited and really disappointed. Bergmentum is done. I mean, it's the worst story that you're rightless. He was about to just catch fire. Bergomania has been ended. Well, catch fire in the way the Hindenburg caught fire. It was very hot.

Oh, the humanity. I mean, you know, like, look, it's funny. I, you know, but again, what's the downside? for a guy like Doug Bergam, other than him spending a bunch of his personal fortune on this. I mean, people, I guess, know his name now. I don't know what he turns that into exactly, but... No.

No, nobody knows his name. Well, in political circles, he certainly raised his profile by this. I didn't... I legitimately had never... I did not know the name Doug Bergam before this. Nobody watched the debate. Nobody watched the debate except people who might know who Doug Bergam was. I'm a person who would be qualified

to sit to, as someone who might know. who Doug Bergam was, but I didn't know who Doug Bergam was, and now I do. Okay. All right. I didn't know either. I mean, he looked like a scary Muppet. Every time he came on the screen, I'm like, oh, my gosh, what he? Oh, it's Doug Bergam. Okay. You were a big fan of his eyebrows.

I know you made it. I know you've talked to a bunch of people about how you can get similar eyebrows. I know you've interviewed his eyebrows. Yes. Yeah. The left one is quite funny. The left one is the great communicator, I believe,

of the two eyebrows. but you know look he didn't I mean there's a lot you could say about him but like he didn't get in the way of the race you know he came he was he made a couple of uh he bought his way into the debates yeah right like people are mad at chris Christi right now this is a big thing going on on the sort of the I guess you want to say anti-Trump side of the Republican primary whatever that is where they want him to drop out and endorse Nikki Haley because Haley's got some momentum she's you know ahead of everybody other than Trump in New Hampshire Well, honestly, if you are Chris Christie,

why wouldn't you do that except your big fat ego? Well, yeah, but... Why wouldn't you drop out and give it to and give the momentum to Nikki? So your question is, what would you do if you're Chris Christie without his defining characteristic? I mean, I don't know.

You wouldn't be Chris Christie is what I'm saying. I mean, Chris, he is, he said on MSNBC a bunch of times the reason he's running is because he doesn't want Donald Trump to be president. But in reality, like, he's in this for himself, right? This is, he has no path to this nomination. And, you know, he, and that's just because his, his favorables are terrible within the party. It's not like Nikki Haley where people look at Nikki Haley. There's some people who don't like Haley, but her favorables are fine within the party. Like, she is a very normal candidate that in a normal circumstance could have a chance to win this nomination, right? Like that is very good.

good. That is not the profile of Chris Christie. Chris Christie has one state where he's doing well. He's basically running a one state campaign. His favorables are unfavorables are through the roof. I mean, much more than other candidates like, you know, even Vivek Ramoswami, who, you know, a lot of people don't like after his debate performances, he kind of very, you know, split the populace a little bit. And some people really love them. Some people don't. But I mean, Chris, you know, Chris Christie would dream for Vivek Ramoswami's favorable and unfavorable ratings. Like, I mean, people just don't like Chris Christie in general.

And this is something it's hard to overcome in a primary. And I've heard him say, Chris Christie, I've heard him say he also dreams about Vivek's spicy Indian food. Really? So, yeah. Not heard that, but I'm not sure if Vivek eats or makes spicy Indian food. But Chris is convinced of it. So, you know, I think he can smell it on you.

You know, if you've been. been around food at any point in your life, I think Christy can smell it on it. He's like, most people. Is that bacon? Is that bacon? That might be why he's taking the race. There are a lot of buffets on a day-to-day basis. We did the, we did the Iowa thing a couple years ago where you go around the state and they make, you know, every the candidates make these speeches, they make the same speech over and over again to rooms of 20 and 30 people. But every time you walk into one of those places, there's the same sort of like layout of like like Danishes that have been out for two hours and donuts.

Good stuff. And man, do you feel healthy after a weekend? Just a weekend of doing that. How these guys do it for eight months? I have no idea. I have to tell you, if you ever, you know, this is a better system than, you know, Canada's made, you know, which is their medical assisted death. Just run for president.

Yeah. You know, a couple of months on the road running for president. You'll want to kill yourself. it will it's no it's a delightful delightful thing I tell you I don't know I don't know how these guys do it

they get up every day and they're like yeah all right we're ready to go and you're like really I've been I just been doing this for two days and I don't believe in the country anymore I want it to fail I want North Korea system so we don't have to do this every four years

that's kind of where I was after one weekend in Iowa it really was because first of all Iowa this time of year is cold. It's freaking cold and it's windy. It's a great state, but man, it can be rough in January. And, you know, like, it is really interesting. Like, you see, like, a new wave of candidate style. Donald Trump really was the one who kicked this off,

which was basically like, I'm just going to go with Trump. It was like, I'm just going to call into Fox News and morning Joe every day and just make points and then hang up and be in Trump Tower. Right. That was his way of approaching it. Christie's kind of done a similar thing where he just keeps going on television and running a campaign instead of going city to city, state to state, district to district. He's not doing that. He's just, you know, basically going on TV and podcasts over and over again from the comfort of the home. I mean, I don't know if Chris gets this. He's not Donald Trump.

He is not. He is not exactly electric on television. He's actually better on television than he is at a lot of other things, like restraint. I think I've read a quote where his wife said I'd rather see him on television than in person. But it's true. It's a way to run a cheap campaign, right? You don't have to spend a lot of money and you don't have to raise a lot of money to run that campaign. I mean, Vavake's done this at some level, too.

He's done more on the ground stuff, but he's been really big on just going on podcast. He's been on podcast after podcast. The only one he won't go on is Pat Gray on Leashed. But other than that, he'll go on a million different podcasts. He won't go on Pat? That has been an ongoing thing for months, apparently. talked to Pat about this when he was on yesterday. Really?

Does Pat not like him? No, Pat, I think is... Is Pat going to sabotage his career? Is that what's happening? There have been some people who really don't like Vivek on the right, you know, just don't like him. Don't appreciate what he's doing. And whatever, okay, that's fine.

But Pat was like, I like what he's saying and tried to book him and he just, for whatever reason, it didn't happen. And then it became a thing when they just came to saying, why can't we get this guy on? And now I don't think he even wants him on. But the point here, the point here, is that there are different ways to run these campaigns. Where DeSantis has been to every county in Iowa now. He's running with that traditional ground campaign.

And for whatever reason, Glenn, one really interesting part about the Iowa race this year is we're just not getting any polling out of the state. I have no idea what's going on right now in Iowa. It's fascinating because we're a month away from this. We should at the very least be getting one good poll a week out of Iowa right now. And it's been over a month since we've had a good one. So let me just put on my mainstream media hat here for a second.

If I'm the mainstream media, if Donald Trump is not doing well, because didn't Donald Trump pretty much ride Iowa off? Kind of. What do you mean? For this one or over 2016? This one. No, he's leading, no? 20 or 30 points.

Oh, I thought you said there were no polls. Well, I mean, I'm going off of the polls that we have. You know, people love to say that they hate polls, you know, and they don't believe them. But, of course, the reason why Mike Pence and Tim Scott are not in, you know, the race right now is because of polls. Right. You know, and everyone wants to encourage Chris Christie to get out. Well, the reason is because they don't see anything in the polls that would indicate he has any chance of the nomination. The polls don't tell us great specifics.

You can't believe them down to the single point. I mean, Donald Trump was leading in the polls in Iowa and wound up losing in 2016 to, to Cruz, which was at the time in the polls a bit of a surprise. But it's not a surprise if you look at these things more as generalities rather than specifics. And the generalities tell you, okay, Tim Scott has no chance. Mike Pence has no chance. Chris Christie has no chance of winning this. We know that from generalities.

But when you look at the polls, it would be like we had two major endorsements for Ron DeSantis in Iowa. The governor of the state and Bob Vanderplatz, who's one of the biggest evangelical leaders in the state, very tied into the politics there. Both of those endorsements come out. They're huge endorsements. And we haven't had a poll since, I would argue, is even halfway reliable or, you know, from a decent pollster to tell us, has there been any effect from that? I mean, maybe not. Maybe so. But we don't even know. We really don't know anything at this point, which is, I mean, it's the mainstream media falling down on its job at this point. Again, shocking.

That is a hysterical statement coming in 2023. It's just the mainstream media falling down on their job. Yeah. I mean, it is, but it shouldn't be that funny. But unfortunately it is. It's comical that that. That someone could consider that they would do their job. Right.

That's the comedy. Wow. Did they show up? Really? All right. Let me tell you about our sponsor this F hour. It's Rough Greens. Michael lives in Monroe, Georgia. He has got a bouncing little puppy named Harley.

Harley wasn't too crazy about her kibble food. She would eat it, but without much enthusiasm. And if you've ever had a seven-week-old puppy, you know, enthusiasm is what they are. Skin, fur, eyes, and enthusiasm. Anyway, Michael tried Rough Greens after hearing about it on the program, and Harley's appetite and enthusiasm, he says, has gone through the roof, basically became.

a completely different dog. Michael, I get it. That is exactly what happened when Uno when we started feeding. He hated eating. We'd have to hand feed him. Not anymore, not with rough greens. It's not a dog food. It's a supplement developed by naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black that you sprinkle on the dog's food. Remember, brown food is dead food. You want the green stuff. The folks at Rough Greens are so confident that your dog is going to love it,

that they have a special deal for you. Just go to roughgreens.com slash Beck or call 833, Glenn 33, 833, glen 33, or roughgreens.com slash back. 10 seconds, station ID. So, uh, Instagram has said that, uh, I'm, I got a strike against me. I guess I don't know how this stuff works. I don't really care. Um, but they said that, uh, I can't post live. I can't post live on Instagram.

Oh, damn it, Stu. Panic. What are we going to do? Seriously, what is going to happen when we can't post live on Instagram? Now, I don't, I mean, I follow you on Instagram as everyone should. I don't, I mean, I wouldn't say you make a habit of going live on Instagram. Maybe you've done it. Well, that's probably pretty good.

Three times in the last year? Yeah, maybe, maybe. That's a bizarre. So what did you do? No, I want to reach two or three hundred people. I go right to Instagram. You have a lot of followers at Instagram. I mean, it's a great...

I know, but it's also, you know, a wholly owned subsidiary of Facebook. And my Facebook has been suppressed to where our traffic is down on Facebook by 90%. It's incredible. Now, what was your crime? I don't think Charles Manson could have a website. He could go on a killing spree and his... I don't think he would go down 90%. Anyway, let's see.

He could live stream the killing spree and they'd still let him continue to go live. Of course they were because it would be factual. Yeah. You can't go live for 29 days. You have 181 days left to request a review. The post, the following post, did not follow our guidelines. You can disagree with our decision. Your post may go against our guidelines on violence or dangerous organizations.

So it was a promo for a show that I did on Blaze TV on October 25th. Here's what it is. This is what this says, exposed, what the deep state got away with while you weren't looking. Episode 314. Russia-Ukraine war, the Hamas, Israel War, Iran and China threats, GOP Speaker of the House chaos. These are just a sample of the insane events happening in the world. But how many other critical domestic news stories have been buried as a result? The COVID origin story still remains a big story.

Washington doesn't want to shine a light on it. New information has been dropping almost every week for the last several months, thanks in large part to disclosures from the House Oversight Committee on COVID origins. When we were discovering who was involved in what they knew, when they knew it, and the ensuing cover-ups to make sure no one knew what was going on. Glenn cuts through the world chaos, follows the money. So it's a COVID, you know, there was a segment on COVID. It had to be that.

But if I remember the episode right, I'm just going. quoting the oversight committee's findings. Wow. How dare you cover the news like that? Well, it's the guidelines on violence and dangerous organizations. What, it's fascinating. And you didn't do this during an Instagram live. Did you?

No, no, no. This is a bizarre thing that they do. This happened to my wife like 10 times in case you. Lisa Page made me do it. She, that's her name on Instagram, and she would get, she would get dinged constantly just for, like, talking politics.

And, you know, she's conservative. And she would bring up just points that, you know, she wanted to make and she would get flagged. And that's the punishment they kept hitting her with. She can't go live for 30 days. And it kept happening over and over and over again. And at some point, she was just like, I'm just going to split the accounts.

I'm just going to do another account where I talk politics. And if that one gets banned, whatever, because, you know, it's frustrating, especially for people, you know, she does, you know, podcasting and, you know, influencing or whatever. And it's like, you know, they're screwing with your livelihood at some level. But the post was removed. It may not follow our guidelines on violence or dangerous organizations. And as a result, you can't broadcast for 29 days, blah, blah, blah. What violence or dangerous organizations besides the United States government and the mainstream media? What dangerous organizations was I promoting, I guess? The Glenn Beck Program.

We'll follow up with those guys today. Let me tell you about Mantis X. Mantis X is a brand new way to target practice. If you were going out and getting firearms, by the way, did you see the crazy story. Where is this from? A small town, a multi-millionaire, a guy who used to be the head of Cox Communications, or he was part of the Cox Communications family.

Communist, Hamas supporter, gun supporter, telling everybody on the left they need to train with guns. I mean, this guy is, I mean, he's unhinged, but we'll talk about that coming up. Anyway, if you want to practice

and make sure that you're a good shot. So whether you're going, you know, hunting or whether you're, you know, using it for protection, you want to make sure that you're a great shot. Mantis X, get Mantis X for your firearms. It is a great, high-tech, easy-to-use system, widely used now by the military, started with the Marines. Whether you're firing actual rounds or dryfire practicing, this is the way to do it. Start improving today. MantisX.com. That's mantisX.com. over to blazedtiv.com slash glen the promo code is glen plus you'll save 30 bucks off your subscription to blaze tv welcome to the glenbeck program so i'm just looking at this instagram thing stew and i think i might

understand why let me just read your post was removed it may not follow our guidelines on violence and or dangerous organizations and as a result you can't go live for 29 days you can't appeal your decision, blah, blah, blah, violation of the community guidelines. So the only thing we posted was the cold open to the show. So can we hear and see the cold open here? Hamas began with a horrific series of attacks in Israel. For the last two weeks, Israel and Hamas have been the focus of nearly every news report, as it should have been. It's important that we continue to. to stand with Israel and those who stand against evil.

But in true far-left fashion, Democrats conveniently have used this tragedy to slip by other news stories that every American should know. Insane spending. Even more money to Ukraine. Another attack against cryptocurrency. Prices through the roof. Hunter Biden's latest legal strategy. And updates to the COVID origin story that you.

You haven't heard. So tonight, we start there. I'm going to take you down a very windy, corrupt trail until we reach our final destination, a shady lab in Wuhan, China. You will never view our medical system the same. It was just a preview. You didn't even say it. You didn't even say anything that happened. But it may not follow our guidelines on violence. and or dangerous organizations.

So are they saying that I was promoting Hamas? Hmm. Do they consider Hamas a dangerous organization? Is that consistent with the left's views these days? That would be news. That would be news. They're just freedom fighters after all. I think that's,

I mean, if those are the guidelines that I'm supposedly violating, dangerous organizations and violence, the only thing that that fits is the Hamas in the open. I'm not promoting Hamas. I'm reporting the news. How's that work? Yeah.

And not to mention like, you know, if you didn't, if you're listening on radio, you didn't see the video, which did show some, I mean, I wouldn't even say it directly showed violent imagery. It showed hostages being taken away. It showed, you know, Hamas fighters on motorcycles firing randomly sort of into houses, but you're not seeing the other person being hit. I mean, look, you know, posting Hamas videos, you know, we should know what Hamas did, of course, but I can understand why you might have some community guidelines issues with some of the really,

really rough stuff that exists out there. I mean, even Israel is showing it in only private screenings, right? But that's not what you posted. I mean, that was, I don't, again, no one ever understands other than the fact that you're a conservative why stuff like this happens. But I don't know, I don't know what the explanation would even be. well, we'll find that. The problem with this, of course, is they take this,

you want to post this stuff for everybody to see so that most people can get the information. And what they do is they block it. They block it from people being seen. And so the only place that doesn't have these restrictions is Blaze TV. You have to be able to put it up on Blaze TV. And you can show the whole thing and you never have to apologize for it. I mean, I know that's why the thing exists.

But it's like, at this point, it's more and more important than ever. This is more Instagram, Facebook, are worse than the FCC has ever been ever oh yeah i've i've done you know i know what the rules are on for the FCC we've done i've done broadcast uh since i was 13 years old i know them in the days when i first started you had to take a test before you could go on so i know all the rules know how the game is played um there are restrictions you just don't violate those restrictions if you do you're fine I've never had a problem with the FCC because everything is known.

You know what it is. What Facebook and Instagram and everybody, this aren't FCC restrictions. These aren't even close to that. And they're arbitrary. It could happen for any reason. And you're always left guessing like, well, I don't know. Why did you do that?

That's just an unreasonable, fascistic, of thing. I mean, you're, you're more complimentary of these FCC standards than I would be. I don't, I don't think they are all that clear, but in comparison to what goes on on Facebook, there's a major, major gap. I mean, you go back to, like, you know, it's never been an issue for us, but you go back to people like Howard Stern who often would have issues with this and not know, you know, where the lines were. He tried to push the lines, obviously. That was his schick back in the day. And, and, but, you know, there's never, it was never clear necessarily. There weren't, there wasn't a list of work. words you couldn't say or concepts you couldn't say. It was community standards and it made it very difficult. When you go with Facebook though, I mean, at least with the FCC, if it went to the point where you got a fine, you could argue about it, you would have it. They would have to explain it. I mean, the issues with these fact checkers today and the way that they're turning

these things over, you don't even know what the problem is. I mean, we're sitting here on national radio guessing as to why you got banned from Instagram. We don't even know. I mean, we don't even understand the basics of it. I got a strike the other day from, I think it was Facebook, about- But that was just quality control, right? It was just like, this really stunk.

I mean, it was just poorly done. Yeah, I would understand that. Yeah, I would understand that. But no, me too. It was a factual complaint that basically said, I had a guest on him, I don't know, a couple months ago. and he was talking about global warming. The fact check says USA Today fact checkers have gone through your post. And they have said, first of all, they are going to,

they wanted to delete the post from Facebook so people couldn't see it. And they said, USA Today says that global warming is from human activity, not sea volcanoes or El Nino. That's the fact check. And so I'm like, all right, well, I mean, that's not what the guest said. And he definitely, number one, that's not what he said. Number two, I didn't say it. I'm the guy with a page.

I didn't say this, but okay, if you have a problem with it, you're still going to give me a strike. But number three is, I don't know, ask any scientist on Earth. El Nino definitely has an effect of global warming. They look at every peak. Now, it's a temporary effect, which by the way was discussed in the interview, that it was a temporary effect. But look at every global peak of temperature, going back as far as you want, you will see it typically coincide with an El Nino period. It is a temporary period of warming that every scientist knows about.

It's not a, this is not some controversial statement. You can say that the guest was not assigning the proper amount to human activity and, you know. But that's still an opinion. It's still, it's just an opinion. And like, everyone recognizes that El Nino affects global temperature. It is a very well-known scientific fact that has been around for a very long time. You can find every mainstream media organization talking about it. Probably even in USA today.

Honestly, if I searched for it, I could probably find it. But they don't care, right? Like, they just want to take this information down. And over and over again, it kind of brings you back to, like, you need to have places that are, that actually want the truth. You were just talking about this off the air, Glenn, with the border documentary that you're doing. Like, you know, compare this to days where we worked in the mainstream media. it's nice to work with people who actually are looking for the truth, no matter where it leads you. And you know, it's really funny, or sad, I guess, is we had a meeting after the end of the day,

and I said, I walked into this and I didn't realize I was doing the same thing the mainstream media does. I walked into this with a story, and this is where the story is going to go. and they don't change. Halfway through the day, I'm like, something's not right here. And we met about it and then did a couple of more interviews. By the end of the day, we met again and said, I don't know what the story is. And it might indeed be the same story that we have, but there are too many. I mean, it is crazy.

It is people are saying either that everyone is corrupt and there are. body dumps and gangs and everything else or everybody else on the other side is corrupt and you and nothing is fitting together in this story yet and so i don't know what this story really is they would have never done that if they were doing a story on you know conservatives and whatever they would have never done that i mean i know what i i know what i think would be a great story for ratings or everything else. I'm not sure what the story is going to be. In the end, I think the truth will be the most effective story,

ratings-wise and everything else. But nobody does that. Nobody does that. Yeah. Tell me the time that that's ever happened with us, Stu. Ever. Meaning they looked at us and said, hey, actually, he's not Hitler.

One of those type of thing? No, those things don't exist, basically. exist. You come in and they don't even listen to you. They know the sound bite they're trying to get from you. And that's it. And everything else is just them trying to get that sound bite. Yeah. They've come in with an agenda and try to prove that agenda. It's reverse engineering the news, right? Yeah. And it's, you know, this is happening all over the place. You know, there's a, NBC news is in the middle of doing this to Texas right now, where they, they continually, they've done this now twice. And the latest example is the city of grapevine, where they just like name a podcast after a town in Texas

and find whatever they think is the worst thing that's happened there and just smear the town. And it's like, hey, we found this one clip of one person doing one wrong thing. Let's do a podcast and release it to the nation and say how bad Texas is, right? Like they go in with an agenda and then just look for the information to try to prove that agenda. that's not news gathering, that's not journalism. That's reverse engineering a point you want to make about how bad red states are. That's all that is. And that's the way it happens.

That's the way it happens all the time, all the time. So listen, the point of this is, I guess, that the Blaze TV exists for a reason. I think it's going to get harder and harder. I mean, you don't suppress. Nobody is even looking into this. I mean, we are, but nobody's really even looking into this. you suppress an outlet by 90% and the world just goes on like normal. I mean, if I had based my business on Facebook, it would have destroyed me.

Destroyed me. This is what the left does. They tried to destroy us on radio. It didn't work. Tried to destroy us on television. We got out because it didn't work. They weren't saying things like Mercedes-Benz will not. never ever advertised with the glenbeck program they never have they never have and so they

build this campaign out of smoke and shadows and if we weren't us we wouldn't have survived we wouldn't have survived now the blaze is here blaze tv and blaze tv plus if you're blaze tv plus subscriber you get not only everything that's on blaze tv but then you get a whole bunch of extras including all of the commentary in print, all of the different experts that we go to and have them write commentary on different things, the investigative reports, and these documentaries that we're doing,

Most people have no idea that there's an invisible gap in their home's protection, your home, your equity.

It's all at risk. And the invisible threat is called house stealing, according to the FBI. And I quote, con artists pick a house. It could be a vacation home, a rental property, or the home someone is living in right now. They transfer the deed of the house into their name by obtaining the forms, use the fake IDs, and filling out all the paperwork, filing with the proper authorities. And now they own the home, not you. Is that fun? No, you don't want to go through this process at all.

Once the step is complete, they can take out loans using your home as collateral, and they can even sell your home right out from under you. This isn't something that doesn't happen to anybody. This is one of the fastest growing crimes in America. It happens all the time, and that's a huge problem that you need to fight back against. Cybercriminals can do this because most people don't spend a lot of time thinking about their home's title. You might monitor your credit card statements all the time, make sure you don't get some weird charges on there.

You're not doing that with your home title. Let home title lock do that. Home title lock comes in. They can make the difference between a secure home title and a really horrible experience.

the way the climate ecosystem works, not actually when it comes to heat or cool, but how it works when it comes to the media and how whenever you say anything that disagrees with the mainstream narrative, you're going to get tossed. There's no reason for this. like this is a conversation that should be able to be had among adults who can think and conceive of other people's opinions and beyond just the direct science of all of this. We're talking about trillions of dollars.

We're talking about all of our children's future and how, you know, inflation's going to be in the future, how massive programs are going to exist or not exist. If we're going to be sending trillions of dollars to, you know, global entities, we're just going to spend another $3 billion now to some climate relief fund. These conversations should be at the forefront of what we're talking about. There's probably no more expensive program than fixing global temperature. Yet that conversation is suppressed. There's too much of this going on, and there's only more to come. The Glenn Beck Program.

So if you, just based on the reporting that's happened so far, I was expecting basically almost what I saw in Iraq, right? like UN tents type things, crime going all over the place, the ultimate squalor that you can think of, mixed in with crime visibly, almost like it was like Grand Theft Auto, you know what I mean, but actually seeing it in real life play out. I got to tell you when we first showed up, I do not, I can't fathom how that's the story that you get

just by showing up, driving around and saying, okay, this is what's going on. because this story is a lot more complicated than that, obviously. There's a lot more pieces moving here than I think anyone has even really talked about. And you can't get to it on the surface level. You're going to have to go deeper, which this amazing documentary team is doing, and it's amazing. I will tell you that we came yesterday, and I told you yesterday, we were looking at a situation, we were told, by several sources, several sources, that we were looking at a situation where this Colony Ridge, they were being sold,

being sold at usury-style interest rates of 20 and 30 percent, credit card rates. That is what we were told. You were looking at a situation where there were gangs involved, the cartels were involved. that is part of the story we're going to get today. I'm doing several interviews on that today, but I will tell you, if the authorities don't have, if they're not willing to go on camera and say,

yes, this is what, I mean, there was, we were talking about a story yesterday where these two teenage kids were shot in the head at the mailbox area. They were both in their car and somebody went to the mailbox of, you know, where all of the mailboxes are in this area. And they saw this car and these two guys,

they thought were just sleeping. These two teenage kids were just sleeping. They watch them, they come back and they see that they're still there. And they're like, hey, something's not right. So they went up to the window and they were going to knock on the window. And they look in and these, Two kids have been shot, I believe, in the head.

Execution style, it seems. Well, now we're hearing that perhaps that didn't happen there, that this was crime that was a body dump. And there are places in Houston. There's one very famous place that is a body dump. That's really bad. But was this gang related and was it happening here? there is there's only one truth in the end but i'm and i'm really glad to say this we are doing

everything we can to get to that truth not our truth not the story we think people want to hear but the actual story not sure uh did several interviews yesterday and walked away believing parts of all of the interviews, walked away liking some of the people, you know, not necessarily loving some of the other people that we interviewed, but thought there was truth a little bit in everybody. And so our job now is just to piece this together, because this is something that is going to happen all over the country. There is a lot of money being made here. And you wonder, I mean, how long did we discuss this, Jason, that we're not sure if any of this is illegal, might be immoral, might be, might not even be that strong, might be something you're like,

I wouldn't do it. I don't want my friends being involved in this, but is it immoral or is it illegal? Oh, yeah, constantly. And I mean, Glenn, you and I did a show, I believe it was last week where it was a Wednesday night special, and we picked out the top two issues that the country is most concerned about. Number one, the economy, people's finances, and number two, the border. Those, and immigration.

The top two issues. This story has elements of both on gigantic magnitude, because if it's of a border issue, I mean, we've got an area that's huge. If people are getting mortgages, when they don't need Social Security numbers, when they don't even really need traditional mortgages,

They're able to come here and no one's integrating. They're all living in this one little area. I kind of want to know if this is the standard going forward all over the country. Are these going to be popping up all over the place? Is that not the issue? I don't know. We've been scouring social media, including Spanish social media, on the number one issue, the economy and financing. We're not exactly sure the ins and outs of how these deals are made, but it does look like people are confused.

There are multiple people confused. as they were, you know, even during the 2008 financial crisis, people didn't really know what they were signing up for for some of those adjustable rate mortgages. I don't know if that's similar now, but we have got to get that story correctly because the stories that have come out right now, I do not believe have. But people need to know economically, financially, are you getting into a good deal here? And number two, the border. Is this making the border situation worse? Or is it not as connected as we've been led to believe it is? The other thing is, I mean, this is such a fascinating story because these are people,

these are people that do not have a chance of getting a traditional loan. 70,000. We were in the neighborhood, and it's not a neighborhood I would want to live in. There were parts of it that seemed pretty eerie and sketchy, but there are other parts of it that were pretty nice. Nice. Pretty nice. And these are people that would not get a traditional loan. So they are going out and they're getting a loan. We're told today we're still verifying everything. I told you yesterday 20 to 30 percent. That's what we had found online and with some other sources. But it appears that maybe that is not true. We're going to have more when we as we go, we have to lock these things in. The guy who's selling. it told me yesterday it's 12.7. Well, 12.7 is very high for a house loan. But the United States, the Federal Reserve charged 19% at one point. You know, and if you don't have any credit at all

and you don't have any money to put down, that's actually not a bad rate, quite honestly. Do you agree with that or disagree? Yeah, I think it's, I think it's, I think it's, I think it's It sounds like not a bad rate, but from what I'm seeing on, say, social media from people have done this, I don't even know if they understand that. Because once they start getting into these loans like a couple of years down the road, some of them are abandoning them saying, oh, this is not worth it. I don't think they were expecting to spend the amounts of money that they were. That's just what it looks like from the confusion on there.

Right. And so there's a difference, though, between them understanding it and predatory loans and usery, you know what I mean? And you know, you can look at this story. It's amazing. It's amazing. I wish you were, well, you will be in January. I was going to say, I wish you were with me yesterday. Because I was so conflicted. I went back and forth, not on crime,

not on any of that stuff. But I went back and forth on his this, at first I was, it's probably illegal. and it's absolutely immoral. And I still don't have an answer on either of those two. It might be illegal. It might be immoral. But I had a swing yesterday back and forth to these to where I'm like, well, I don't know.

I don't know. This might be something good for somebody who can't start in America. What does that sound like? It sounds like every amazing documentary that you've ever watched. I just watched this documentary about aliens where they started out. debunking them. Then in the middle of it, they kind of go back and forth and say, maybe not. But at the end, you're like, wait a minute, are aliens real? I mean, that's how I felt yesterday, not on aliens, but on this, I was like, it's exactly the same.

It was back and forth, back and forth. This is an amazing story. It really is. Yeah, it's, and it has huge ramifications at the very least, and the very least, and I don't even know if we're going to have time to cover this. the thing I went to bed with last night was, is this the future of America? It is a community. It's enormous about the size of Miami. I was told by the developer,

130,000 to 150,000 residents when they're done. I heard close to a quarter of a million from other sources, but it's a lot of people. Right now, it's anywhere between, 40 and 70. And it's a huge area. And it is in this small little sweet little town where nobody's rich there. I mean, there's trailers, you know, people living in trailers on their land there.

But it's like my grandparents farm when I was growing up. It was just this little quiet, sleepy town. And all of a sudden, boom, right in the center of it, are, you know, going to be 100,000 plus people that don't speak English, generally don't speak English. That is a shock to the community. And that doesn't necessarily make it wrong. Or, you know, everybody is into, not in my neighborhood,

but it is shocking for that neighborhood and vastly changes it. And the problem is, just down the road a little bit are these very nice, very, very nice, wealthy neighborhoods that if you didn't know you're coming into Houston and you're getting off the freeway and you're going to go buy a house, you'd see these places you'd be like, this is great. But you'd have no idea that the slums, literally the slums are right behind your house, right on the other side of the woods, right down the street. and that becomes a Brazil situation, which is not good, is not good. So anything you're left with? Just sit on how on a lot of these stories, there's a lot more than meets the eye. And I mean, you're really not going to get into it if you operate like the mainstream media does, how they do it right now.

They take a story and they run a narrative, and that's what gets pushed out to the entire country, and you never learn any further. You never go deeper. And that's what I really love about what we're doing now is we're going deep. And I can't tell you, like that documentary about aliens, how many times I'm going to be flip-flopped on this story by the end of it.

I don't know at this point. We have, I believe, two or three interviews today. Tomorrow we're interviewing another three or four, including something that goes late into the night, and then I think the day after that is another like four. So, I mean, we are going both sides back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. Where we end up, I have no idea, but it's going to be a whole lot of fun to do it and for the audience to watch it play out. And it's, you know, the one thing that I took away from yesterday, and I mentioned this earlier, is it's very easy to be like the mainstream media.

I went into this. We had all kinds of information. We have the information. We have the sources. but we don't necessarily have everybody on record. It's going to be interesting to see in the next few days who's willing to say, no, no, no, say that to the camera. You know what I mean?

And whose figures and stories stand up and whose stories stand up and whose stories don't? And we walked in yesterday, I walked in in the afternoon to an interview I thought, absolutely just going to chop this up into little teeny bite-sized pieces and walked away saying, I'm not sure we have the story. Not saying that anybody is, that I believe anybody right now. I think that's the thing I walked away with. I walked in believing one thing. I walked out, not believing anything. So that's what, and, you know, it's, we are grateful to, uh, Blaze TV for spending all of this money.

It's an, it's an incredible expense to do documentaries like this and investigations. It takes a whole team of people. My gosh, this documentary, the team is unbelievable.

dot net. 10 seconds. Station ID. Let's say hello to our executive producer, Stu, Stu Begear. Hello, Stu. Hi, Stu. No, you don't understand how this works, Stu. Let me give you this story. A transgender refugee in London

has been charged after carrying around a sign that read Israel burn in hell. This happened during a pro-Palestinian rally. Now, I'm not sure that this transgender person understands the ideology of the Palestinians, but I don't know if he'd be exactly real popular there. Anyway, the individual claim they couldn't, they didn't even know what the placard said because it was written in English. That's good.

That's good. That's kind of like at the airport. Did somebody you didn't know hand you a sign in the last 24 hours? All the time, Glenn. I just carry around signs that people hand me all the time. Who knows what they say, right? Amen. Amen.

So anyway, this is a transgender person. You know, I can't. The LGBTQ plus community that is, you know, marching in favor of Hamas and the palace, it just kills me because they would kill you first. They would. They'd be excited about it. They'd be cheering about it on social media.

Glenn, this is one of those weird. things that conservatives we bring up all the time, but the left never responds to. Do they have any answer as to why they're supporting people who want them to be killed? Do we have any idea of why that is? I understand there's some weird alignment on the left. I haven't heard that question asked. I actually haven't heard any response to that. They don't even make an excuse. Well, the reason it's okay is because they're oppressed, I guess would be as close as we're getting. But I mean, that's not really an answer. The only thing I can find was from 2010, And it was somebody discussing this from the left, and they said, we are doing it even though we disagree because they are oppressed.

The intersectionality is more important. So we don't agree with the way they want to behead people. But. I don't think there's a but. I don't think there's a butt after that one. I want to talk to you a little bit about the facts. We've been working on a story for a couple of. weeks now. We have the facts on a pretty big deal next. Stand by. First, let me tell you about

pre-born. The ministry of pre-born is helping to make a change in this country that will last throughout the generations. Every day, 200 babies, 200 babies would be aborted that have a chance at life. They're granted the chance of life because of the work of pre-born. By giving a Expecting mothers free ultrasounds and helping with postnatal care for up to two years after delivery, they're shining a light of hope and life. For $28, you can help a mom choose life. When an ultrasound is given to a mom and she's expecting and she's coming in for an abortion, the chances that she'll choose life double because of that $28 ultrasound.

Would you please help? Can you help? Would you like to be a part of this movement? If you have the means, would you consider a leadership gift to save babies in a big way?

The code is Glenn Plus save 30 bucks. So just before Thanksgiving this year, my daughter came. to me. And she said, dad, did you see what Joe Biden just released? And I said, no. And then why would you do this while I'm trying to, you know, be thankful for everything? She said, you have to read this. So let me read it to you. Statement from the president on Transgender Day of Remembrance. This happened on November 20th. There is no place for hate in America. And no one should be discriminated against simply for being themselves. Today, November 20th, on Transgender, day of remembrance, we are reminded that there is more to do to meet that promise as we grieve the 26 transgender Americans whose lives were taken this year.

Each one of these deaths is a tragedy. The true toll of those victimized is likely even higher with the majority targeted being women of color. It's unacceptable. We must never be silent in the face of hate as we mourn the loss of children. transgender Americans taken too soon this year. We must recommit ourselves to never stop fighting until all Americans can live free from discrimination. Now, I agree with all of that. My problem was 26 Americans who are transgendered, their lives were taken this year in violence and hate. And I thought to myself, I have not read any one of those 26 stories. Gee, I must be some sort of a neophyte that just never goes to technology to find news that maybe we should all care about. So we started looking into it. We found we found some really fascinating stories

and somebody who is actually working to document all of them. We're going to introduce you to him in a second. But first I want to just ask you, when you hear that transgender people have died because of hate, what do you envision? Okay? What I think they're trying to get you to envision is of some sort of right-wing Nazi racist who is, you know, walking down the street and they see some guy wearing a dress, let's go beat them up. And they beat them up and kill them, right?

They're in a bar and they see some woman in a dress and they beat them up because you ain't gonna be wearing a dress no more around here. That's what you think about, right? Some Neanderthal who is just gonna go on a killing spree every time they see somebody who is transgender. Okay. So now let's talk to Chad Felix Green. He's been on the program before.

He's a twitchy contributor. He's also a writer. He has been writing a book studying this very thing, transgender murders or deaths and been tracking them down. And he's found some interesting things. Welcome to the program, Chad. Thank you, Glenn. Glad to be here.

Thank you. So tell me what you're finding. Are you, I mean, are these 26 people last year where they beat up some by some Trump-love and Hick? No. In fact, last year in 2020, 2003, so far this year, 2023,

there's only been one possible, actual hate crime. And that was a man who went on he wanted to go kill several people. He met a transgender woman on a dating app. And then after killing

her, he bragged to a friend that he had killed a trans person and that he wanted to kill more people. So it's not being charged as a hate crime so far, but that would be probably the closest that we have. In fact, between 2015 and 2023, there have only been nine hate crimes where it's been charged as a hate crime. It's confirmed as a hate crime. It's a very real someone was targeted because they were transgender. Okay. So can you help me out? because some of them that have been named hate crimes,

or this is a hate crime against transgender. In 2017, there were two men, one trans woman. They agreed to paid sex with a guy at his home. Tell me the story. Are you there, Chad? Well, hell yeah, I'm right here. So these two trans women, they agreed to meet this man. and when he got there, they robbed him and he fought back, shooting both.

One was killed in 2017, and the other was paralyzed from the neck down, London Star. Okay. Now hang on just a second. Hang on, first of all. So was the shooting because he got there and did he know that they were transgender? and then he was surprised by it, or was it the robbery? What caused the shooting? As far as we know, he was aware that they were transgender. He was simply meeting them for paychecks. Okay.

All right. So it didn't have a problem with them, apparently. No. No, he was found not guilty at his trial for self-defense. Huh. Okay, so wait, one died and then the other one was paralyzed, but they're both counted as deaths because of hatred. Are they not? Correct. The paralyzed transgender woman died from complications of HIV and diabetes in hospitals. But they considered because she was shot at the event that they considered that to be the connecting. And the HRC, the human rights...

But she was shot in 2017. She died in 2022. So, I mean, it's been a while since she was shot. Correct. And the HRC said, although the killer was recently found not guilty after arguing self-defense, HRC remains indignant that this horrific act of violence ended the lives of two beloved members of the LGBT community. well i mean they may have been beloved with somebody but certainly with people who like to obey the law they were i mean it doesn't seem like they had there was anything to do with transgender

the guy obviously liked transgendered people because he was going to have sex with them they planned and plotted to rob him before he came over right that was the whole thing correct this is incredible this is like i he's heard not even That's crazy. You commit a burglary and you get shot in the middle of a robbery. And then you don't die for five years. You die of HIV and diabetes. And they include this person in a proclamation about anti-transviolence when the guy basically

booked an actual trans person to come have sex with. That is the most incredible thing I've ever heard in my life. I mean, that's how desperate. That's how desperate you really are to find any violence. And like you said, there's been since 2015, what, nine actual hate crimes? Okay. One is too many. But how does that stack up against other hate crimes?

Do you have any idea? Well, generally speaking for the LGBT community, LGBT reports about 1.01. 0.01% of the LGBT community report hate crimes annually, and that's been consistent since about 2010. So about 2,000 or so a year, and the majority of those are non-violence. In terms of transgender people, when we're talking about the hate crimes, there have been 288 reports since 2015. So 3% of them have been hate crimes. The majority of them, so about 32% have been domestic violence and 17% have been, sex work. But to your point of trying to find these individuals, one case in 2022 involved

a transgender, a biological woman who was pregnant, eight months pregnant, and identified as a man, and her fiance was a biological man who identified as a woman. And he killed her, he killed her and their unborn child and then killed himself. that was listed as a hate-fueled anti-transgender murder. Wait, so it's one trans person killing another trans person and themselves and an unborn child, which I assume the left wouldn't care about at all. And they're calling that as part of the anti-trans violence epidemic? Correct.

And another trans man was killed by his fiancé, who was a gay man, who also killed himself in 2000. 22 and he that is also considered an anti-trans crime. How? How? How? This is like these are crimes of passion or, I mean, they're not hate crimes. Correct.

A father killed his autistic daughter while she was in a violent fit and killed himself in grief, but because she was transgender, it's an anti-transgender crime. Police officers, there have been four in the last two years of police officers being attacked by trans men specifically who shot and killed them. Those are anti-transgender murders listed. The two people that were killed by the transgender club queue shooter and the mass shooting are included as anti-transgender murder murder. And there are three car accidents, people that were in a hit and run. but they were transgender. There was no hate motivation whatsoever.

They were just hit by a car and killed. I mean, this is unbelievable. It is legitimately unbelievable. I expect the media to exaggerate these things, to take them out of context. But the details of these things are, it's jaw-dropping.

And if you want to put out one point in detail, you mentioned in Joe Biden's speech, he said the majority of these are trans women of color, that black trans women are disproportionately attacked. And black transgender women do make up the majority of murders. However, 92% of the known killers are black men. And that's been consistent. Now, okay, now hang on just a second. So is that somebody who is, you know, thinking they're going to get lucky and then they discover the

guy's a dude and they fly off the handle or why are they murdered? Why are the black men murdering the black women? This goes across the board from robbery to sex work

to domestic violence so they're already in a relationship with the person gang violence and then the very the very rare actual hate crimes. The perpetrators, however, are when a black trans woman is killed and we know who killed her, 92% of the time it's a black man.

So when they tell us disproportionate number of victims are black women or women of color, it's creating the perception that black women are being targeted, but their killers are also black, and that's never mentioned. and that provides a completely different context to that story. So what is your conclusion to all of this? My conclusion is that this is similar to whenever we hear a hate crime hoax and the responses, yes, but it brought awareness to the real victims. This may not have been true, but this represented what could happen or what does happen all the time. You'll always hear from these organizations in every article, every mention.

This is a small percentage. Most of them are unreported. We know that this is happening a lot more often. Transgender people are terrified and so forth. When you get to the details, you'll hear it repeatedly. It doesn't matter if a transgender person was killed in a robbery. What matters is that a transgender person died. and

but wait if it happens all the time then why don't they have I mean we're talking 26 in a in a country of 350 million if it happens all the time these 26 which how many out of the 26 this year

were real one? Possibly one possibly one yeah it has not been why can't you find anything else. Exactly. And the reason is,

unfortunately, transgender women typically engage in more high-risk behaviors in terms of sex work and things like that, urban concerns. They were robbed

on the street in a city. These women are not being, these individuals are not being killed in West Virginia, trying to go to Walmart. They were found dead on the street at 3 a.m. in Atlanta. You know. Chad, thank you.

I'm sorry, I'm out of time, but thank you so much for doing this. I knew something was wrong, and it took as well to find the right person to tell us this. And thank you for, I know book is coming out on this. It's Chad Felix Green. You can find him at Chad Felix G. or you can go to Chad Felixgreen.com. Thanks, Chad. We'll talk to you again.

I don't know what an appropriate action would be. Hunter Biden and his direct payments to his dad, kind of a different story than what we heard before, but no surprise there. Also with global warming, John Kerry wants you to take responsibility. He is tired of people like you, and we'll tell you about it in 60 seconds.

First, our sponsor, this half hour, is the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. Here's a number that should shock you. There are over 38,000 U.S. veterans, experiencing homelessness are heroes who signed up to protect us in service. Those people are now living on the streets. 38,000 of them. We know there are even more because they've been kicking some of our vets out of, you know, hotel rooms in New York so they can put illegal aliens in there. We appreciate that. Tunnel to Towers Foundation is committed to helping these people who have sacrifice so much for our country and our freedom. Their homeless veteran program is providing housing assistance and services to vets who meet the program requirements. Over 500 veterans last

year, this year, they're going to be helping 2,000 or more. Let those people know they who serve valiantly and in our name that we care about them, we think about them. You can donate $11 a month. The tunnel to towers at T2T.org. T. the number two t.org. So, Stu, I know you've been following cop, what is it, 28? Cop 28, yeah. Can I ask you my favorite trivia question about cop 28? Sure, sure.

What does the cop stand for, C-O-P? Climate on parade. Climate on parade. A really good guess, and much better than the actual answer. As you may know, this is a conference where they take, you know, interested parties from around the world. They come together and talk about the climate. So a conference. Wait, wait. Wait. I got another guess. Conference on planet. Okay.

That's even better, I think. That one's even better. Conference on planet would be a good answer. But no, it's not conference on planet. It is. Or conference on parade. Or conference on parade. It is conference of parties. because a bunch of parties come together for a conference. Wow. So that's all they could come up with.

These are just really, really, these are thinking folks, Glenn. These are thinking folks. Now, let me ask you something, Stu. Do they know? Because what's the one thing that really will wreck a crazy party? Cops. Do they know that? I mean, this is not the message.

they want to spend. This is the one time the left actually likes cops. It's cop 28. Every other time they want to defund them. In this case, they actually want to fund it quite a bit. Okay. So I just want to tell you that these people are absolutely unhinged and are really honestly going to be responsible for millions of people dying.

Here's John Kerry yesterday. There shouldn't be any more coal fire power plants permitted anywhere in the world. I find myself getting more and more militant because I don't understand how adults who are in a position of responsibility can be avoiding responsibility for taking away those things

that are killing people on a daily basis. I would think. Now, I could be wrong because I don't know. China's not participating in anything and they could be making coal shovels out of people. So I, with China aside, I would guess that coal fire plants are actually helping more people live than die. And your evidence of that would just be what, modern civilization?

I don't know. Modern civilization. You know, electricity, refrigeration, stuff like that. Yeah. Yeah. I would think you were heating, cooling, lots of things fueled by fossil fuels. You know, and of course, as everyone, I think, is aware, I mean, China is creating so many new coal plants. It's overwhelming everything else that everyone else is trying to do to supposedly solve the climate crisis. And they get all the credit for being the good guys in this debate. Oh, yeah, well, of course they do. Not to mention the actual details of COP 28, which is, you know, a giant conference of parties is kind of in some ways accurate, right? Like it's like they're just getting together to party.

They're hanging out, a bunch of people. of a bunch of money or hanging out trying to seem important and then spending a bunch of money on private jet flights to get there unless of course you're iced to the tarmac like they weren't in Germany. Have you had that photo by the chance? No, it's incredible. I've flown a lot. I don't know. I don't know if I've flown as much as, you know, maybe John Kerry, especially on private planes. But I've flown a lot.

I've flown into Chicago. I've never had my plane iced to the ground. You know what I mean? You've also never gone to a global warming conference in Dubai. And apparently this is what happens. You're right. You know, but a lot, this, so much of this goes back to personal responsibility, right? Like, it's easy to tell everyone else in the world or complain about what everyone else in the world is doing.

But these people don't take responsibility for their own actions. Listen to what he says. Listen to what he says. This is incredible. I am becoming more and more militant when, I look at these adults, adults, I can't understand how they're in a position of responsibility and they're avoiding responsibility. Dude, who made you king? This is, it's just outrageous. And you're flying all the time. How many houses do you have? I'm not one to count houses.

I don't care how many houses people have. I don't care how big your house is. I don't care if you keep your air conditioning at 58 degrees year round. You know, in the winter, I don't really care. What I do care is if you're telling everyone else how they should live, you're telling us that we shouldn't fly, and yet you're just so important. You have to fly, not commercially. You have to fly where you are, you're expelling more carbon than probably four of your,

well not your neighbors, but four regular Americans combined every year. It's amazing. It's the same story with all these. You know, you look at the school choice stuff that's going on right now. Every one of these politicians that opposes school choice has their kids in private school. It's incredible how many there are. And I don't know, Glenn, maybe you know the answer to this. But is there some sort of solution to this?

Is there some sort of way to get people to actually take personal responsibility when it comes of this stuff to hold them accountable because so far, I don't think society has founded. No, I don't think so, Stu. Those days are gone. Okay, good. Those days are just gone. Because that seems hard. I'm glad I don't want to have to do it. So, no, I tell you, you know, it is, I think it is the there's two solutions. One, humility, being humble enough to recognize how great things really are. I mean, yeah, there are problems like everywhere. But I mean, have you really low? Have you really at our life, what's going on right now, are our lives in American, in America, even for the poorest. I mean, I was just in what I would call a ghetto yesterday. And these are people that

are coming across our border and they're happy about living in that ghetto. So, I mean, we should probably take a look at how sweet it is, but you're not going to do that unless you have humility. And then taking responsibility. That is, that's the key. everything absolutely everything until you actually have perspective on how great things really are and that life is not always happening to you it's happening for you and you can take a look and do some inventory and then go okay what am i doing to cause some of the bad things you know what am am i doing where i'm preaching something and i don't actually believe it you know the the biggest problem i have to tell you my um my wife and

son are again out with Tony Robbins. Tony Robbins, I called him, how long ago was this to? Four months ago, three months ago. And I called him and I said, look, I, you know, my son is off again, on again. He's, you know, he's really dealing with some things. And he said, hey, bring him, I'm going to be in Dallas, bring him to my event. So we went, and this was three, four weeks ago. We firewalked.

It was an amazing event. My son has changed entirely, entirely just from that. Now, it's been four weeks, so, you know, four weeks is not a lifetime. However, he went back out to Tony, some big convention thing that he's doing with my wife. Listen to this. First of all, Sunday, I've had a hard time getting my son to go to church. Sunday, he emails me at like 6 o'clock in the morning, and he's like, Dad, it got up early today.

I can't wait to go to church. I just wrote down my testimony. And I wrote back testimony of what? Because I didn't think it would be his testimony of Jesus Christ. I mean, I haven't heard my son talk like that since he was, you know, probably since he was like 15. And he said, of course. Christ. Oh, oh, okay. That's fantastic. He sends it to me. I'd love to read it to you, but he sends it to me, and it's tremendous. Then last night, he writes to me, because they're in these conferences with Tony like all day and all night, and he writes to me, and he just said, I miss my dad.

and I was like, well, you know, me too. We should call him, I guess. Anyway, so then my wife writes to me. And this is what my wife says. Now, I mean, she doesn't write like, she's not like this. 3 a.m. just got in. I don't even have the words for what happened today and tonight. We just had the most amazing experience, inspiring, life change,

incredible, wonderful. I can't wait to share so much with you. I mean, Tony Robbins, I, you know, I never followed him. I knew who he was. I, you know, I think he's inspiring and uplifting. But, you know, you go to his conventions and you're like, okay, these guys are a little, you know, okay, I get it. Calm down. Calm down. He deserves all of that. I mean, the change that he is, and he's very clear on this, I'm not making any changes in your life. Only you can make changes in your life. But my son is now taking responsibility for his own life and his own future. He's not where before it's like, oh, I don't know. I can't do this or I can't do that or you know, this is really, and I'm like, really, your life's really tough, isn't it? But now he's not,

There's none of that. He's just taking responsibility. And all that Tony Robbins has done is empower him. Just clearing the dead wood and just saying, it's your life, dude. It's your life. And whatever you think, whatever you're going to do with your life, you better do it now because you're the only one responsible for it. And if people can get that positive message, it's game change.

changing, game changing. Yeah, too. So much of it of making it a long-term change is, it's almost like changing your ideology, right? Like it's not, it can't just be like, oh, here's a goal or here's a pathway or it's like changing your ideology. I'm no longer a person who does that. I'm a person who does this. And when you believe that, it's like, you know, Glenn, you're not going to be, you know, a person who's out there supporting abortion causes. That's not going to be something you're going to like slip up and donate to plan parenthood, right? Like, that's not something that's going to happen. Well, mistakes can happen. As far as I know. But it's, but like, that's not going to happen because you have a moral stance

against it and you would never violate that. And if you can kind of come up with that same philosophy, it's almost like, it's like, is it basically like creating that same sort of belief, right? Like, you're coming up with a line that you will never cross, not because you're really trying or you're, you know, you're trying to stay away from that bad thing. It's defining. It's defining. defines who you are. Yeah, it defines you. Let me, let me tell you something he taught that,

or he showed that it was, was really eye-opening. We were in a crowd of about 13,000 people, and he asked us what our priorities were and said, you know, here's five things, prioritize, who believes this, we all raised our hand.

Then he started talking about them, and the entire crowd flipped, He said, now just think about these things. Go to work. I want you to write these things down and look at them. Look at them all again. Then he said, okay, let's do the same thing. How many people feel this is number one?

It completely reversed with one piece of information. One piece of information. It was remarkable. I'll tell you about it here in just a second. First, our sponsor, this half hour, is Goldline. Stu, how much is gold at right now? Can you look that up for me? Sure.

It was 2150 yesterday. Something's going on. What do you think that might be? I mean, it was such a big deal that it was never going to break 2000, never going to break 2000. 2150 yesterday. What is it now? It's still well over 2000, but down a little bit from 2150. I mean, what is Bitcoin at?

Bitcoin is 41,820. It's crazy. This is crazy. Those two indicators show that people who know how the world always resets to gold are reacting. The Bitcoin is for all those maybe, I think, younger people who maybe maybe things. think that the world will reset on Bitcoin. Be great, but I'm not so sure it always resets on gold. The higher gold goes, you get up to $3,000, $4,000 an ounce,

and it's going to be crazy town. I mean, really crazy town. We get up to $3,000 an ounce, and I think we'll be at World War III. It's frightening to see how many people in the know are now saying, I got to get my money into gold. And one of those countries that really is in the know is China.

They're doing it. Could I ask you, please, please, consider gold or silver from Gold Line. I want to talk to you about something exciting. It's the third collaboration with Gold Line. Every time we do this journey, I get so excited because there are all these different gold coins that you can get. They're collector coins. That's very important. you'll have to ask them why, but it's very important.

Anyway, the woke crowd is trying to erase our history, and we have an opportunity now for you to own a piece of it, shining a spotlight on Abraham Lincoln this time. 16th President of the United States, I had the honor of designing a really beautiful American covenant, Abraham Lincoln commemorative in gold and silver and copper, pays tribute to not only Abraham Lincoln, but also the American covenant. When you purchase 25 Lincoln quarter ounce gold coins,

you're going to receive 100 Lincoln copper rounds absolutely free. Each Lincoln commemorative is tangible testament to the principles and the sacrifice that built our nation and to the covenant and the Bill of Rights. Don't wait, call them right now, 866. This is the first day that we are announcing these. 866 gold line. This is your opportunity to secure a slice of history and gold to protect your portfolio. It's goldline.com.

Call them now 866 goldline, 866 goldline or goldline.com. 10 seconds, station ID. You know, Tony was talking about, you know, what are your goals? And I'll have to bring in the book so I can talk more astutely on this, maybe tomorrow. But he was talking about what are your goals what motivates you why what's driving you to do things and The number one driver in people is the feeling that they matter having some significance in life, you know That's the biggest problem. I think in America most people are being told they're not significant They don't matter and that's an absolute lie in a way just to destroy humanity and civilization to teach

people that they don't matter. So significance was number one. I think the last one in this group of 13,000, and it was still about 20% was service and helping people. And everybody was just being very, very honest. I'll give you the whole list tomorrow. It's pretty amazing. but he then went on to talk about how most people, it is significance that drives them. They want to feel that they are important. That's in love. That's in business, everything else. And he started talking about the significance of service and how our bodies are entirely built to reach and strive.

and reach higher and try to really help people. And when capitalism is at its best, it's to help people. When you're putting other people and saying, how can I make their lives better? That's when you'll connect. If you're constantly looking for other things, you won't find them. And we're not built to feel better when we get something new.

We get a new car. We'll feel better for a while, but that's not what feeds our soul. What feeds our soul is pretty much playing a significant role in helping other people and doing something of significance for other people. That feeds our soul. That's what makes us stronger all the time. And if we can take personal responsibility for who we are, and realize that we are built to do good things and to help other people, we'll change the world overnight.

And a very small percentage of people doing this can change the world overnight. The Glenn Beck Program.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Elon Musk declared war on Disney, or maybe it was the other way around. That's usually the way it is these days, people declaring war on Elon Musk. But it was another scandal for Disney. Only now Disney has somehow or another lost its ability to shed scandals with ease. Disney is just dying on vine and it couldn't happen to a better group of people I really couldn't I I wish them to receive all of the things and the seeds that they have planted you know they used to be they used to be the the company that would bring joy and magic and now it's black magic and you know just some corporate empire that you know will do anything for a buck and now they believe that they are the guardians of culture

they're going to change our culture. Their latest example is Wish. It's a movie that supposedly is to serve as the celebration of the 100th year of Disney Magic. It is hacky and uninspiring and really not worth your time. And everybody knows that. Nobody's going to see it. We have an inside look now at what is happening at Disney. And can they ever be?

bring it back. Film Threat, the founder and publisher of Film Threat, Chris Gore, is with us now. Hi, Chris. How are you? Hey, doing great, Glenn. Thanks for having me on the show. So, first of all, tell people about film threat, so I'm not sure they know about it. Well, it's an independent film journal. We've been, we were a magazine in the 80s and 90s. Now it's a website and a podcast. Now it's a website and a podcast. And we've remained, oddly enough, politically agnostic through all of these times. How did you do that? I, well, first of all, I don't know why any, all the entertainment media outlets should actually be this. But it's very bizarre.

I mean, I feel obligated if a movie comes out and is an independent film. It's from one side of the aisle or the other. We will cover it. But that's not true for all of my colleagues in the industry. who cover film. It's unfortunate. I mean, you did Matt Walsh's What Is a Woman, and it was actually objective, and I didn't, I just assume that would never happen in today's world. Never. Yeah. Well, I think it's an important documentary, and I think it's worthy of coverage.

I don't know why it wasn't covered by every media outlet. I think it's an important conversation, but, you know, we'll also cover documentaries about drag queens. So, we're, we're, we're all over the place. And I think that that's our obligation. You know, we also, you know, we also reviewed Candace Owens documentary about BLM, which did not get a very favorable review. So, but we look at everything. And we try to be objective. And I, you know, I would like to see more of that. Chris, I am the biggest Disney fan. I mean, I have the original prospectus hand-colored by Walt Disney. I have been a fan since I was a kid.

I have always been a champion for Disney. I have never seen a company tube their credibility faster than the Disney Corporation. And I have gone from a fan to somebody can't wait to see them burn themselves

out of existence. It's a remarkable thing that's happening with Disney. Well, it's how they've taken one of the greatest brands. One of the greatest brands, a family brand. And I think it really has to do with giving away from their core values. When I talk about those values, I'm talking about the values of Walt Disney, Walt Disney the man. Right.

Walt Disney was a proud American who espoused family values through his art. And when you see where the company is now, it's become very corporate. filled with middle management bloat, micromanaging all of their artists. And as I like to say, I think corporate culture kills creativity. And that's where we're at. There's more to this story.

There's a lot more to this story, actually. You have an article coming out where you've talked to many of the insiders who are giving you a real deep look into what the culture is there. And there's one story about when everybody came back from work after COVID, and they were having a meeting about which breakfast cereals to put into the breakroom. And what happened?

Well, it's a funny story. This was on a Zoom call. You were coming back from COVID and restocking the break room with cereals, which devolved into a conversation about privilege. And if you ate certain breakfast cereals when you were at, kid, you were privileged, but if you ate generic breakfast cereals, you know, that said something about your upbringing and status, there seems to be a bizarre obsession with all of this nonsense, identity, you know, privilege, and the fact that a simple conversation about restocking

the breakfast cereal and the break room devolved into that shows you how bad the rot is. It's at every level. And the keyword that has come up, I'll just say this article we have coming up on the Filmthreat.com website, which is being written by my colleague, Alan Ng. We're currently talking to about a dozen

current and former employees at Disney and also people who work in animation. We're calling the series of stories the Disney file, but the stories we're hearing are fairly shocking. But also might not be shocking for anyone

that's been paying attention. Not very shocking. Like what? Well, ultimately, well, there's more specifics to it, but ultimately,

all of the veteran talent has been driven from the company. Starting with John Lasseter, and his departure is not as described in the media. there was much more to it.

I believe that certain people felt threatened by John Lasseter, probably because he was the most talented person at the company. Nearly every Pixar film was a home run. I mean, even the lesser Pixar films, even the lesser Pixar films, when you look at what Disney's putting out today, they're amazing. So that was the beginning of the rock,

was his departure. and that veteran talent has not been replaced by veteran talent. It's been replaced by, and I'm using words that are in the correspondences, a keyword came up in every correspondence with every person, and that is activism. The people that have been replaced, they've been replaced by activists. And it's at all levels. You can't necessarily blame upper management.

The rot is from the bottom up. So somebody described to me and they said, Glenn, Bob Eiger, nobody else can, nobody can fix this now because they felt that Bob Eiger was responsible for a lot of this. But they said they hired activist and allowed them at the bottom to just infest the Disney culture, if you will. And then it just kept growing stronger and stronger. And now there's really nobody left to hand the company and say, okay, all you. you guys, shut up, get out of here. You can't do it anymore. Do you believe that's true?

I believe that is 100% true. 100%. And I think it's, you know, it's just a company culture that's been created. And those that don't agree with the direction of the company have to remain silent and are reprimanded even for espousing certain ideas. The HR department at Disney appears to work in an oppressive manner, creating a toxic work environment. We're talking about innocuous posts on Facebook from years ago and employees being dragged into HR to have meetings at ungodly hours,

you know, 6 a.m. or something, to, with an attorney sitting next to the HR person, to discuss a social media post. There is a fall in line attitude, and if you don't fall in line, you're not welcome at Disney, which has led to many, which has led to many of these people

leaving of their own accord. They're simply not welcome to think certain things and work for Disney. Well, you're not, I mean, I know creative people, and there's nothing that drives creative people more crazy. I mean, Walt would lose people from time to time because his management style was, keep them always guessing, you know, and it'll make them sharper.

The animators hated that, but Walt was so good at what he did that you're either in Disney or you're not. Now that's not the case. No creative person is going to want to go to work every day, let alone be creative at work every day. you're constantly looking over your DEI shoulder? Well, that's 100% true. And on that note, interestingly enough, you know, lecturers come into Disney often to help animators and discuss topics like how a giraffe runs.

What does it look like when it runs? How do birds fly, different types of birds? They have brought in DEI lectures to talk to all of the animators. and in our article we're going to discuss the person who's been coming in to speak with the animators because not only was this DEI person saying that based on your identity, you are innately, you are racist based on the way you look. You are just a racist person. This DEI instructor lecturer lecturer went on to critique all of the Disney movies and why they're racist

and why in particular, a film called The Princess and the Frog was racist, which features a black princess. Oh, my gosh. That was to expose to bring in African Americans and to expose people to a different culture. That's what that whole movie was designed to do. Yes, absolutely. But this lecture pointed out that because the princess in the film was turned into a frog, and remained a frog for most of the movie

that that was racist. And basically, this lecture was telling the animators everything they're doing wrong, which erupted into a huge argument with some of the animators who stood up, but this is the problem. This is the big problem, is this is well known throughout the animation industry

that does me action this way. There are other companies, for example, Illumination, you know, distributed by Universal, their animated films. They've avoided any sort of political messaging. They make movies that are entertaining, the Minions movies, the Super Mario movie,

which crossed the billion dollar mark. They're just making family entertainment, and they're well aware of that. Disney is the exception in this, where the messaging is a huge part of it, but this is well known in the industry, and it's a whisper, It's become a whisper network where animators that have felt so betrayed that Disney's,

the Walt Disney Company's legacy is, you know, is falling by the wayside that they speak on private message groups between each other about everything going on. But here's the deal. If people at the Disney Company don't speak out, there won't be a company left to save. It's dire. when you look at the amount of money that they've lost this year, it's, it's,

it's unbelievable. When you look at, in the year 2019, Disney had seven movies that crossed the billion dollar mark. This year, it's zero. It's unbelievable. It is the fastest,

it's the fastest destruction of the greatest brand ever of the 20th, uh, uh, the 20th century. And you're right. I'm not sure if it's, it's going to make it. Chris, I've got to cut you short, but I apologize for that. I'd love to have you on when the story comes out and spend some real time with you because I think this is, it's fascinating

to see the price that they're paying. Chris Gore, the name of the website is filmthreat.com. Filmthreat.com. Chris, thank you so much. Back in just a second. Our sponsor, this half hour, is the Tuttle Twins. prices for almost everything have gone up dramatically over the past year. Don't worry. The main thing is the main thing that went up was just fuel and food. And so who needs that? And inflation is under control.

What is the first step towards owning nothing and being happy? First, you have to destroy the value of money. So people who don't know how inflation works can't afford to own anything. How much do you really know about inflation? inflation, how it happens. How much do your kids know? Because this is a reality in their life.

This is the Glenn Beck program. It's something else here now. Something new. From exclusively on Paramount Plus, it's the series Stephen King calls Scary as Hell. Everything here is impossible, but it's also. surreal. Sci-fi vision

comes up the best show streaming right now. We're running out of time and we still don't know the rules. Don't miss what the movie blog calls something you need to watch.

Saving those children is how we all go home. From Binge All episodes exclusively on Paramount Plus. So the Disney movie Wish, uh, executive Carrie Burke at Disney, who's pushed for more LGBTQ plus

characters. She says we need more to lure in the Gen Z because Gen Z, and I'm quoting, is queerer than other generations. I'd like to know how that is possibly true. By the way, she is the mother of, shockingly, not one, but two queer children, one transgender and one pansexual. Weird how that happens with this very natural phenomenon. It is, it is. Well, they're queerer in this generation. In the last year, 11. of Disney's 12 theatrical releases have lost money.

It will cost them conservative low estimate, $750 million. So three quarters of a billion dollars, the low estimate. They're in deep, deep trouble. And I think if Disney has to admit that, oh, crap, we were wrong to be able to turn this ship around, which I don't think they ever will,

that is going to send quite, to ripple through all businesses. If Disney, the Great White Whale, really starts to flounder, what does that say to the rest of the corporations in America and the rest of the world? The Glenn Beck Program.
