00:00:08.180 Hey, welcome to the podcast.

00:00:10.500 It is Monday.

00:00:11.780 We're just a few days away from traveling to the far off distant land called Tampa and Orlando.

00:00:18.760 And we're going to be in concert on Friday and Saturday.

00:00:22.340 You can go to glenbeck.com slash tour and check out the tickets and grab your tickets

00:00:27.460 because it's a lot of fun in Tampa and Orlando this Friday and Saturday.

00:00:32.460 Okay, on the podcast today, we start with Jim Acosta on the caravan.

00:00:38.900 Because, you know, what are you talking about?

00:00:41.080 There's no caravan.

00:00:41.940 They're not coming.

00:00:42.520 They're not an invading force.

00:00:43.400 They're not going to be climbing fences.

00:00:45.580 Yeah, you're hundreds of miles away.

00:00:47.300 So the whole thing that Jim Acosta was talking about that got him kicked out of the White House

00:00:53.840 was that the caravan, you're just hyping this.

00:00:58.160 There's nobody coming and they're not going to climb walls.

00:01:01.200 It's unbelievable.

00:01:03.840 Unbelievable, the coverage.

00:01:05.500 Also, Ukraine, Poland, riots in France.

00:01:09.520 Why is that?

00:01:10.700 Brexit.

00:01:11.840 Pat stops by and joins us for a little talk on that.

00:01:16.120 We also talk a little bit about the new Google product, seeing that it is Cyber Monday.

00:01:21.180 Oh, some really exciting stuff happening there.

00:01:23.400 Yeah, if you want your home to be incredibly creepy, they've got some great options for you.

00:01:27.620 They've got great, you know, very much like China has.

00:01:30.200 We talk about the Chinese social score as well.

00:01:33.840 It's a great show.

00:02:44.240 Glenn Beck.

00:02:45.380 Yesterday, after we were told by the press that this was not going to happen,

00:02:53.780 this was not, that Donald Trump was just juicing the election,

00:02:59.720 that these migrants would never arrive here. 0.99

00:03:04.300 Yesterday, an estimated 1,000 migrants from the infamous migrant caravan

00:03:11.160 stormed the border like invaders.

00:03:16.440 They threw rocks and bottles at U.S. border agents.

00:03:19.760 In response, our agents fired tear gas at the crowd,

00:03:23.560 which gave the media the drama they had been craving.

00:03:26.620 So they could write lines like this from the Associated Press,

00:03:29.500 Quote, children screamed and coughed in the mayhem of the tear gas, end quote.

00:03:36.400 The headline might as well have been Evil America Tear Gases Babies.

00:03:41.120 I've told you, I believe I said this on Fox.

00:03:45.660 I know we started to actually predict that this was coming within a year.

00:03:51.140 This spring, what is happening right now is the Palestinian state is being made on our border, 0.96

00:04:02.100 and the United States of America will be made into Israel.

00:04:07.160 Yesterday morning, a group of Central Americans who were just fed up with the conditions in the migrant camps in Tijuana

00:04:15.700 held a rally urging the United States to speed up its asylum claims process.

00:04:22.180 Currently, the U.S. is processing 60 to 100 migrant asylum applications per day.

00:04:28.440 However, as the march veered toward the border, around 1,000 people decided to make a break for it.

00:04:34.000 They pushed past a Mexican police blockade and tried to squeeze through wire and scale fences.

00:04:41.680 As a result, the U.S. temporarily closed its border crossings between San Diego and Tijuana.

00:04:49.440 Now, apparently, a lot of the migrants' impatience stems from a pending deal between the U.S. and Mexico

00:04:55.620 over how we're going to deal with the asylum seekers. 0.72

00:04:59.740 In the past, asylum seekers have been allowed to remain in the U.S. while their cases are processed in the U.S. courts.

00:05:06.780 However, the Trump administration wants the caravan to stay in Mexico while their cases are processed.

00:05:13.800 Gee, that makes sense, because if we make Mexico do that, maybe Mexico will worry about their own southern border.

00:05:21.640 However, yesterday's protesters, they hope to make their asylum case in person to U.S. agents before this potential deal takes effect.

00:05:31.140 Now, it sounds all heart-wrenching, but the fact remains that the 1,000-plus migrants who rushed the border yesterday

00:05:38.540 are trying to expedite the legal process by breaking the law.

00:05:44.260 Sorry, there is no magic wand.

00:05:49.000 There's no solution for an immigration crush like this. 1.00

00:05:53.220 Yes, the asylum application process is going to be slow,

00:05:57.240 especially when a mob of 6,000 people show up at the border at the same time.

00:06:03.040 Most other countries would be just as slow or slower,

00:06:07.140 unless they were coming from the Middle East.

00:06:10.060 And we've seen how great that's worked out.

00:06:16.140 Frankly, most countries would close their border and turn this caravan around a long time ago.

00:06:24.180 Here's the truth.

00:06:25.760 America is not heartless.

00:06:28.720 But it is, at least for the time being, still governed by the rule of law.

00:06:33.860 What is it these people are trying to get to America for? 0.98

00:06:40.060 I contend the rule of law.

00:06:43.700 Their countries are lawless.

00:06:47.260 We cannot help other people who are trying to escape lawlessness

00:06:52.220 by becoming lawless ourself.

00:06:57.060 Trying to crash through the border fence is not the way you immigrate to the U.S.

00:07:05.760 It is the way you invade the U.S.

00:07:10.540 The best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:07:21.540 Can we have the Jim Acosta audio?

00:07:24.140 Do you remember when last we spoke, we were still talking about Jim Acosta

00:07:28.660 and what he said to the president and how he was kicked out, etc., etc.

00:07:32.160 I want you to listen to what he was talking about because what he was talking about was the migrant crisis.

00:07:41.160 And this is a fascinating thing that's happened because you had the migrant caravan coming.

00:07:47.480 It was a big deal.

00:07:48.800 And what we heard from the media was not whether this was a danger or whether this was real

00:07:52.540 or what the causes of it were or how we should deal with it.

00:07:55.420 It was Donald Trump is basically just talking about this because of the elections coming up.

00:07:59.780 So they all start covering it.

00:08:02.000 Then right after the election, their coverage goes away.

00:08:06.080 And the only thing they talk about is now that the elections passed,

00:08:09.340 Donald Trump doesn't care about it.

00:08:10.740 Conservative media doesn't care about the caravan.

00:08:13.340 Then this morning, people are talking about the caravan again

00:08:16.900 because there's people running across our border and climbing fences.

00:08:19.780 And what do we get?

00:08:21.260 Do you believe these conservatives?

00:08:23.060 They are still obsessed with this caravan.

00:08:25.240 I thought you said it was only an election issue.

00:08:26.980 I mean, obviously, that's not true if you're complaining about how much they're covering it today.

00:08:32.620 And you also told us that it wasn't even going to arrive.

00:08:36.300 Listen to Jim Acosta from CNN on the migrant caravan.

00:08:41.960 This is what was forgotten.

00:08:44.680 This is what got him kicked out.

00:08:47.000 Listen.

00:08:47.600 Thank you, Mr. President.

00:08:48.500 I wanted to challenge you on one of the statements that you made in the tail end of the campaign

00:08:53.440 in the midterms.

00:08:55.620 Here we go.

00:08:56.420 Well, if you don't mind, Mr. President, that this caravan was an invasion.

00:09:01.200 I consider it to be an invasion.

00:09:02.660 As you know, Mr. President, the caravan was not an invasion.

00:09:04.900 It's a group of migrants moving up from Central America towards the border with the U.S.

00:09:10.700 Thank you for telling me that.

00:09:11.720 And why did you characterize it as such?

00:09:16.340 Because I consider it an invasion.

00:09:18.240 You and I have a difference of opinion.

00:09:19.640 Do you think that you demonized immigrants in this election to try to keep...

00:09:24.000 I want them to come into the country, but they have to come in legally. 1.00

00:09:27.080 You know, they have to come in, Jim, through a process.

00:09:29.320 I want it to be a process.

00:09:30.960 And I want people to come in.

00:09:32.340 And we need the people.

00:09:33.200 Your campaign...

00:09:33.960 Wait, wait.

00:09:35.200 You know why we need the people, don't you?

00:09:36.980 Because we have hundreds of companies moving in.

00:09:39.320 We need the people.

00:09:40.200 But your campaign had an ad showing migrants climbing over walls and so on.

00:09:44.720 Well, that's true.

00:09:45.460 But they weren't actors.

00:09:46.460 They're not going to be doing that.

00:09:47.400 They weren't actors.

00:09:48.120 Well, no, it's true.

00:09:49.240 Do you think they were actors?

00:09:50.540 They weren't actors.

00:09:51.340 They didn't come from Hollywood.

00:09:53.100 These were people...

00:09:54.840 This was an actual...

00:09:56.660 You know, it happened a few days ago.

00:09:59.500 And...

00:09:59.780 They're hundreds of miles away, though.

00:10:01.140 They're hundreds and hundreds of miles away.

00:10:03.060 That's not an invasion.

00:10:04.200 Honestly, I think you should live.

00:10:05.760 Stop for a second.

00:10:06.720 I just wanted to ask Jim Acosta.

00:10:10.360 Who is right here?

00:10:12.800 Who is right here?

00:10:14.000 Because you asked the question and the president told you,

00:10:17.860 Well, we have a difference of opinion.

00:10:20.120 And so you started to name your facts.

00:10:23.140 Well, they're hundreds of miles away.

00:10:25.380 They're hundreds and hundreds of miles away.

00:10:27.440 Well, they're here now.

00:10:28.640 You also said they were not going to be climbing walls.

00:10:33.340 Well, they're doing that.

00:10:36.320 So, which is it, CNN?

00:10:39.420 Which is it?

00:10:41.120 And if you don't think a thousand people trying to rush our border is an invasion, what do you call it?

00:10:48.680 People coming here, standing in line, being cool.

00:10:53.020 Yes, it's going to take a while, but I'm going to be cool because I can't go back home.

00:10:58.220 That's not an invasion.

00:10:59.480 But people trying to rush the border, a thousand of them.

00:11:05.460 And if you think this is the end of it, you're mistaken.

00:11:09.020 This is the beginning.

00:11:10.420 I just want you to understand that this is a Marxist utopia.

00:11:18.580 If you think these, quote, migrants are really ever going to go away, I think you're mistaken.

00:11:27.500 I have this sneaking suspicion that these people are going to be kept in limbo, that these people will be kept in Mexico.

00:11:39.100 Instead of having Mexico saying, we're not going to have this separate community here. 0.81

00:11:45.100 You guys have to go back.

00:11:46.660 Because we will have a new Palestinian state.

00:11:56.360 We will have a new crisis on our hand.

00:12:00.640 And it will be about the U.S. border.

00:12:04.300 And the United States will finally receive the treatment that Israel has been receiving the entire time. 0.89

00:12:11.180 And if you don't believe me, read the headlines of how the press covered this.

00:12:16.540 We were gassing babies.

00:12:20.100 No, we were stopping a thousand people who we have no idea who they were from coming across the border.

00:12:30.060 Now, I understand if you're a mom and you wanted to get your child here.

00:12:35.180 I understand that.

00:12:36.560 But what responsible mother stands in a crowd and chooses the 1,000 that are going to storm the gates? 1.00

00:12:49.940 What responsible mother? 1.00

00:12:52.100 There is none.

00:12:53.400 There is none.

00:12:54.740 You can say, I'm a responsible mother.

00:12:56.940 I'm a responsible parent.

00:12:58.200 I did make this trip, this migration.

00:13:01.400 You might not understand it, but things are so bad for me.

00:13:04.800 But you cannot tell me that if that was the situation with you, and you were with your children, that you would say, yeah, I'm going to not wait.

00:13:17.740 I'm going to rush the border.

00:13:20.520 You wouldn't do it.

00:13:22.100 You would not do it.

00:13:23.480 No responsible adult would do it.

00:13:25.320 You cannot tell me also, on the other side, that if you were in Honduras, and you were told America is just going to take you, and they're going to take your kids, and you're going to have a life in America.

00:13:37.980 You cannot tell me if that's what you believed, and you knew America had a porous border, and they didn't care.

00:13:47.800 You can't tell me you wouldn't go, especially if it was dangerous in your community because of drugs or whatever.

00:13:54.660 There was no rule of law. 0.80

00:13:58.360 You're damn right. 0.88

00:13:59.220 I'd get my kids out of Honduras, and I'd walk.

00:14:02.780 But I would not rush the border because I would think, well, that's really going to hurt my chances.

00:14:11.160 I mean, you want to talk about living in the shadows.

00:14:13.320 That's really going to hurt my chances of getting in legally.

00:14:17.620 I have a legitimate case.

00:14:20.040 I just need to be heard.

00:14:22.240 I'll stand in line here.

00:14:23.540 You know that's what you would do, and I would do, and any decent person would do.

00:14:31.240 You wouldn't rush the border like that, especially with a baby in your arms.

00:14:36.620 So I am sorry. 0.97

00:14:38.500 I am the guy who got my ass kicked by a lot of people for showing compassion to the people on the border. 0.94

00:14:46.600 So I am the same guy that says, these are people, and we need to have compassion. 0.98

00:14:54.300 However, when you cause your own problems, when you're running with your baby to rush a border, to break a law, to hope that you're just going to have the border guard.

00:15:13.100 I don't know, shoot rubber bullets at someone else, I'm sorry.

00:15:17.780 There's a process.

00:15:19.500 You violated it.

00:15:21.060 I can't have sympathy. 0.85

00:15:23.860 I can feel bad for you because you're so unbelievably misguided.

00:15:31.020 But I'm sorry.

00:15:32.660 The tears for your plight.

00:15:36.200 No, they don't come.

00:15:38.460 The tears for the plight of your young child because of what you are doing.

00:15:46.040 Yeah, I feel bad for the child.

00:15:52.820 But the child is just with a bad parent.

00:15:58.020 In my humble opinion.

00:16:04.340 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:16:16.040 Patriot Mobile is a phone service that will give you all of the great coverage that you want.

00:16:33.820 They're just not going to take the money from you and then invest that in causes that you don't believe in, like Planned Parenthood.

00:16:43.820 Patriot Mobile actually is going to let you invest your money into the causes that you believe in.

00:16:49.520 But most of these sell companies, they give all kinds of money to crazy, crazy causes that you work hard against.

00:16:57.020 It's true.

00:16:57.420 Why do that?

00:16:58.260 You can go with Patriot Mobile.

00:16:59.480 They were created to solve that problem.

00:17:01.200 They're the only conservative cell phone company in America.

00:17:04.120 Go to PatriotMobile.com slash Blaze.

00:17:06.020 Get started today.

00:17:06.800 When you use the offer code Blaze, they're going to waive the activation fee for up to two lines.

00:17:10.800 That's PatriotMobile.com slash Blaze or 1-800-APATRIOT is the place to go.

00:17:16.140 I was shocked at the number.

00:17:21.020 So you only read four pages all year?

00:17:22.800 That's going to be a short...

00:17:24.220 I know.

00:17:25.000 I know.

00:17:25.340 Four pages of books?

00:17:26.860 Four pages just of names of books.

00:17:29.200 But I wanted to bring this up here because there is one that you really need to read.

00:17:38.340 And it is...

00:17:41.200 Hop on Pop?

00:17:43.820 The Rise of the Fourth Political Theory by Alexander Dugan.

00:17:48.480 Oh, jeez.

00:17:49.040 Yeah, that's...

00:17:50.040 Because his...

00:17:51.260 The theory is there's capitalism, there's socialism, right?

00:17:55.700 There's fascism.

00:17:56.840 There's communism, capitalism...

00:17:59.360 Yeah, communism, capitalism, fascism.

00:18:01.560 Fascism.

00:18:02.040 And this is the fourth.

00:18:03.340 He says all three of those fail.

00:18:05.220 We need a fourth.

00:18:06.480 And he has the fourth.

00:18:08.600 And when you read it, you will understand what Russia is doing. 0.73

00:18:12.100 And it is terrifying.

00:18:13.560 It is literally end-of-days stuff.

00:18:17.600 He is mixing this.

00:18:19.240 And this is the guy who has designed the Ukrainian or Crimean policy for Putin.

00:18:24.560 He is literally mixing in end-of-times theology.

00:18:30.380 So he is...

00:18:32.440 And he's not a religious dude, but he knows Russians are.

00:18:36.140 And so he's mixing in the end-of-days.

00:18:39.680 We have to bring about a global bloodbath to bring about the end-of-days so we can restart

00:18:49.380 in this new fourth political theory where Russia will rule the world.

00:18:54.560 It's terrifying.

00:18:56.000 It's terrifying.

00:18:57.000 May I just have a quick point against Alexander Dugan here about capitalism failing?

00:19:01.800 Yeah.

00:19:02.360 So an American high school student who works 15 hours a week and makes a minimum wage is

00:19:10.560 among the top 20% of wage earners in the world.

00:19:13.840 Jeez.

00:19:14.300 And capitalism's failed?

00:19:18.260 You're telling me it's failed after that?

00:19:21.520 A high school student, again, 15 hours a week, minimum wage, top 20% of wage earners in the world.

00:19:31.160 I mean, you know, again, we are so blessed to live here of all the problems that we have.

00:19:36.340 We're just throwing it away.

00:19:37.320 And it's not just throwing it away.

00:19:39.680 It's a lot of people who are intentionally trying to destroy it like Alexander Dugan.

00:19:43.580 By the way, speaking of capitalism, I saw this story today and I thought of used to.

00:19:48.180 40 million people with diabetes will be left without insulin by 2030.

00:19:52.360 They're saying that by 2030, there'll be 79 million adults with type 2 diabetes that are expected

00:20:00.920 to need insulin to manage their condition if current levels of access remain.

00:20:05.460 Only half of them will be able to get an adequate supply.

00:20:10.060 They're projecting that it's going to be a huge growth of type 2 diabetes in Africa and Asia,

00:20:17.440 blah, blah, blah.

00:20:18.700 Well, type 2 diabetes, isn't that because of food?

00:20:23.480 Yes.

00:20:24.520 That's partly caused by overeating?

00:20:26.540 One of those things that sounds really bad.

00:20:28.980 But first of all, I have a lot of faith that the free market will provide the insulin needed.

00:20:35.440 This is why I said that.

00:20:36.560 We're talking about 10 years from now, 11 years from now, if we know there are going to be

00:20:43.580 40 million people, you don't think capitalism is going to say we need to up the insulin.

00:20:47.740 Right.

00:20:48.040 Unless they cure it in another way completely and you don't need insulin anymore.

00:20:51.060 I love this.

00:20:51.700 To manage your conditions, if current levels of access remain, well, it's not going to

00:20:57.980 because of the capitalist system.

00:20:59.540 Right.

00:21:00.300 It will actually decline if you lose the capitalist system.

00:21:04.060 Yeah.

00:21:04.440 I mean, that's one of those things they have.

00:21:06.240 There was a study that came out and it was all over the media the last week or so that

00:21:11.380 was talking about how scary it was that, you know, cancer now is rising to levels.

00:21:20.440 It's now one of the highest killers.

00:21:23.440 You know, cancer now the biggest killer in Australia ahead of heart disease.

00:21:26.740 This is a World Health Organization report.

00:21:29.100 Now we went, we go over this.

00:21:30.520 By the way, the tour is happening this week.

00:21:32.160 We're going to Tampa and Orlando.

00:22:00.720 It's a lot of fun happening this Friday and Saturday, Tampa and Orlando.

00:22:04.600 Yeah.

00:22:04.660 Part of the show, we focus on some of the good things that are happening in the world that

00:22:07.440 we never hear about.

00:22:08.400 And the cancer rates, you know, we've gone over that.

00:22:10.600 You know, there's so much improvement in that world.

00:22:12.780 It's, it's mind boggling.

00:22:14.580 And what the, what the, when they dig into this report, what's actually happening is

00:22:18.800 because they're saying it's the biggest killer now in Australia.

00:22:20.600 That sounds terrible.

00:22:21.680 Well, that's because people are living so much longer.

00:22:24.700 They're living essentially long enough to get cancer, right?

00:22:28.620 They're, they're now getting to the point where that you don't get cancer, you know,

00:22:32.080 these types of cancer that you don't typically get at 50 years old and people were dying

00:22:35.620 at 60.

00:22:36.540 So they weren't getting cancer.

00:22:38.180 They were dying of something else.

00:22:39.320 Now they're living to 80 and 90 and they're developing cancer very late in life.

00:22:43.360 And we're acting like it's this tragedy.

00:22:44.920 Well, they just lived an extra 30 years.

00:22:47.220 This is not a negative.

00:22:48.660 This is a positive.

00:22:49.560 And the same thing with, with the diabetes stuff and, and obesity.

00:22:53.100 They came out and said that, you know, obesity is now a bigger problem than hunger.

00:22:57.060 We act as if obesity is a problem.

00:22:58.920 If we could get to a point where we all choose to die, that's a great world, right?

00:23:05.020 Where we all have to make bad decisions to die.

00:23:08.200 We don't just die because of things we can't control. 1.00

00:23:10.980 If we can get to a point where we all have to choose to be fat, lazy pieces of crap, and 0.99

00:23:17.180 that's what eventually causes our death. 1.00

00:23:19.160 Now, I hope we don't choose that, of course, but, but we will, but that's a better outcome

00:23:24.380 than like, you know, the plague.

00:23:26.560 Yes.

00:23:27.140 Right?

00:23:27.380 Like this is a good, or starvation, which is the most, one of the most brutal ways to die.

00:23:32.160 Brutal ways to die.

00:23:33.080 Most brutal way to die.

00:23:35.300 So this, you know, there's some really good things that are happening in the world.

00:23:40.120 We just choose not to notice them.

00:23:43.580 We just choose not to notice them.

00:23:45.760 You know, I've, I've got a couple of books.

00:23:47.440 I'm going to take a quick break and then I'm going to, I'm going to come back and I'm going to give you some of the highlights of this list.

00:23:51.980 I'll post later today of the books that I have read that, that I would recommend.

00:23:56.660 I've read a few others that I would not recommend, but I'll give you some of the books that I've read that I really recommend in different categories.

00:24:06.720 But, but one of them is, what is it?

00:24:10.180 Enlightenment Now.

00:24:11.020 What is the name of that one by Steven Pinker, Stu?

00:24:14.500 Yes.

00:24:15.540 I believe that is it.

00:24:18.060 Hang on.

00:24:18.720 It's, yeah.

00:24:20.040 Enlightenment Now by Steven Pinker.

00:24:22.400 And that is, that's an amazing book.

00:24:25.280 Incredible.

00:24:25.760 And it, it is all about, guys, it's, it's, it's not what you think.

00:24:30.980 It's not what you think.

00:24:32.680 There's another book called, it's better than it looks by Greg Easterbrook.

00:24:40.200 Have you read that one?

00:24:41.640 Parts of it.

00:24:42.220 Yeah.

00:24:42.400 He's really smart.

00:24:43.340 He's really great.

00:24:44.660 And you, you look at it and say, wait a minute, it looks really bad.

00:24:48.220 His point is, yes, it does look really bad.

00:24:51.560 But that's because nobody's showing you the rest of the story.

00:24:55.280 And when you start to see how much progress we have made, and you stop concentrating only

00:25:04.620 on our problems, all of a sudden you start to say, wait a minute, wait a minute, let's

00:25:09.160 not throw this away.

00:25:10.060 Hey, this is actually really good.

00:25:12.280 This is really good things going on.

00:25:14.480 We're being taught in school.

00:25:16.120 Think of this.

00:25:16.820 Your children are being taught.

00:25:18.440 America is bad. 1.00

00:25:19.620 It's a racist, horrible place. 1.00

00:25:21.900 It's nothing but a killing machine. 1.00

00:25:24.420 And capitalism is starving people to death and taking their money.

00:25:29.440 None of those things are true.

00:25:31.680 None of those things are true.

00:25:33.100 Now, you could make the case that those things are true if you leave out the other side of

00:25:42.180 the story.

00:25:44.380 You can equip your kids with some really good stuff about capitalism.

00:25:50.660 Uh, but I would suggest that you start with it's, uh, it's, what is it?

00:25:56.200 It's, uh, it's better than it looks by Greg Easterbrook.

00:26:05.380 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:26:07.660 Patriot mobile is, um, is a, is a phone service, uh, that will give you all of the great coverage

00:26:26.340 that you, that you want.

00:26:27.780 They're just not going to take the money from you, uh, and then invest that in, uh, causes

00:26:35.700 that you don't believe in, like Planned Parenthood.

00:26:38.320 Patriot mobile actually is going to let you invest your money into the causes that you

00:26:42.840 believe in.

00:26:43.380 But most of these cells could sell companies.

00:26:45.640 They, they give all kinds of money to crazy, crazy causes that you work hard against.

00:26:50.860 It's true.

00:26:51.280 Why do that?

00:26:52.000 Uh, you can go with Patriot mobile.

00:26:53.340 They were created to solve that problem.

00:26:55.000 They're the only conservative cell phone company in America.

00:26:58.000 Go to Patriot mobile.com slash blaze.

00:26:59.920 Get started today.

00:27:09.960 These are some of the books that I have read in the last year that I, I highly recommend.

00:27:14.940 I'm in the middle of Kate Morton's, The Clockmaker's Daughter.

00:27:18.360 This is kind of a, uh, a search through history.

00:27:22.560 Um, uh, this woman, uh, in present day England, she is working at a conservatory and she is, uh,

00:27:32.700 she opens up, I think it's a satchel, uh, some sort of a satchel and she has to catalog

00:27:37.540 everything and she's captivated by a picture that is in there.

00:27:42.220 She remembers that in a story that her mother used to tell, but she thought that this was

00:27:47.720 a story that was just her mother's story.

00:27:50.840 So how did this picture of this old house get in there?

00:27:53.780 It's exactly what she saw.

00:27:55.360 So she starts this investigation and it goes back about a hundred years and you see what

00:28:01.040 is happening and I don't know how it ends yet, but it's really, it's a lot of fun.

00:28:05.840 If, especially if you're like, you know, history hunts, uh, it's just a really good, uh, story.

00:28:11.000 Uh, there is a book called white rose black forest, which I read, I think in the spring

00:28:18.200 and loved this book.

00:28:20.780 This one is about a, an allied soldier, world war two, and he has to fly in and parachute

00:28:29.380 into the black forest all by himself.

00:28:31.800 And he's going in as a German soldier. 0.98

00:28:35.640 Uh, and, uh, he has to kill one guy on a certain date. 0.95

00:28:40.180 He's going to be in a certain place. 1.00

00:28:41.640 He's got to kill him. 0.99

00:28:43.220 Well, he goes in and something happens to a shoot. 0.96

00:28:45.680 I can't remember exactly, but he lands in the, in the forest.

00:28:48.880 And I think he breaks either one or I think maybe both of his legs.

00:28:53.000 Uh, and he passes out, uh, and he's out in the snow at night in the black forest.

00:29:00.120 Well, this woman, this German woman who lives in a cabin there in the forest, she happens

00:29:04.980 to, you know, be walking in the forest.

00:29:07.220 We, you know, you, you know, but he doesn't know that she was going actually to kill herself

00:29:12.380 that night.

00:29:13.480 She sees him unconscious.

00:29:15.500 She takes care of him and then drags him back to the cabin, uh, where she nurses him back

00:29:21.500 to health.

00:29:22.720 Well, he's trapped and he can't move because of his legs.

00:29:27.720 What she can't tell him is that she's anti-Nazi and her biggest foe is the head of the SS in

00:29:39.200 her small little town and they have just destroyed her family and she hates the Nazis and that's 0.78

00:29:44.300 why she was going to kill herself. 0.82

00:29:45.360 But she can't say this because he's a German soldier.

00:29:49.160 But she starts to realize, I don't think he's a German soldier.

00:29:55.820 He can't tell her I'm not a German soldier.

00:30:00.440 So it's this game back and forth the whole time, this mental game and how it ends is just,

00:30:06.040 it's fantastic.

00:30:07.380 Um, that is called, uh, the white rose, black forest.

00:30:12.420 Robert Harris wrote a book.

00:30:14.520 If you're into tech and see what's coming, uh, he wrote a book called the fear index.

00:30:19.780 It's a novel.

00:30:20.340 It's great.

00:30:21.380 It starts with a murder in Geneva.

00:30:23.740 Um, this guy, uh, was working for CERN, uh, and he had this theory that he could make

00:30:30.400 an AI that could predict, you know, uh, uh, habits.

00:30:35.600 And he used as an example, it could predict the stock market and it could actually make money.

00:30:41.100 So this guy from wall street comes in and says, Hey, I want to hire you for this.

00:30:45.680 I want to, I want you to build this for me.

00:30:48.160 And so he does.

00:30:50.020 Well, it turns out that he actually creates AI and then it starts to move into a GI and 0.56

00:30:57.340 its goal is to make money.

00:31:00.840 Well, fear, don't fear the machine, fear the goals.

00:31:05.620 Its goal is to make money.

00:31:07.080 It now is taking on a life of its own and it is piling money in, but like plane crashes

00:31:13.120 are happening just after the stock is dumped and it's no one's in charge of it.

00:31:20.360 They can't seem to shut it down.

00:31:22.240 They don't know if they want to shut it down.

00:31:24.220 As the guy starts to figure things out, now he's smeared in the press.

00:31:31.600 He's set up.

00:31:32.680 Is this a person?

00:31:34.100 Is this AI?

00:31:35.220 It's a fantastic story.

00:31:37.200 There's some crazy, uh, audio from Elon Musk.

00:31:40.260 We should get to today on AI where he's talking about, I mean, he's absolutely in this world

00:31:46.060 and you've talked about him as, uh, you know, being very skeptical of how this is happening.

00:31:50.140 He's seemingly making major moves to try to make sure that we do it and do it ethically.

00:31:56.900 Yeah.

00:31:57.060 Yeah.

00:31:57.200 No, he's, uh, he started a huge foundation to do it, but he doesn't believe it'll be done.

00:32:03.760 Nor do I, you can't put this genie back in the bottle and somebody somewhere is going

00:32:08.680 to go, well, I wonder what would happen, you know?

00:32:12.360 Right.

00:32:12.620 And that's the Robert Harris book.

00:32:14.460 Also the new Dan Brown book that came out this year, Origin, that's along the same vein

00:32:19.840 and it's really, really good.

00:32:21.480 If you know somebody that is into history, there's a few things, uh, that I, that I highly

00:32:27.980 recommend.

00:32:29.100 Um, the new Reagan book by Bob Spitz.

00:32:32.560 We just had him on as a podcast over the weekend.

00:32:37.260 Listen to that podcast.

00:32:38.940 It's fantastic.

00:32:40.360 Even my kids enjoyed this podcast.

00:32:42.140 Um, really great, really great podcast, great book called Reagan by Bob Spitz.

00:32:49.160 He went in and he, he was not a fan.

00:32:52.840 He's a guy.

00:32:53.460 He's done the Beatles, uh, think the stones.

00:33:00.440 I can't remember.

00:33:01.680 He's got a long list of, he writes the ultimate biography of people.

00:33:07.080 Um, and he Springsteen too.

00:33:09.360 Didn't he do Springsteen?

00:33:10.240 I'm not sure.

00:33:10.700 He worked with Springsteen.

00:33:11.960 He, he, he writes these books, the people that change culture and, uh, are, uh, deeply

00:33:18.940 loved by a group of people.

00:33:21.960 The only person he said he was with his wife and he, he was like, who can I write about

00:33:26.080 next?

00:33:26.440 And she said, Reagan.

00:33:27.300 And he said, absolutely not.

00:33:28.840 He didn't like Reagan at all.

00:33:30.060 But he decided that half of the country loved him.

00:33:34.100 There has to be something.

00:33:35.240 And so he went and he started to track him and he met with people that have never been

00:33:41.980 interviewed before in his hometown that knew him and his family.

00:33:45.280 He went in and he had access to Reagan's personal papers.

00:33:51.220 One other author has had access to these, but he left them sealed and the things that he found in those papers, just awesome.

00:34:06.680 And he understood and really began.

00:34:10.580 And he loves Reagan now still says, I disagree with his policies, but I love this guy.

00:34:15.840 Um, it's a great, great book.

00:34:18.760 Um, another one called defying Hitler.

00:34:21.720 This was actually, this, this is a, uh, an unfinished book.

00:34:25.860 It just stops, uh, in the, about, you know, towards the end of it.

00:34:31.340 Um, it is the best history book on Germany.

00:34:35.200 I have ever seen.

00:34:36.460 The reason why it stopped is the guy escaped from Germany, came over here, became one of the

00:34:42.240 leading authors, uh, and leading, uh, um, um, authorities on Hitler himself.

00:34:49.840 He was writing it in Germany as a, as a missive to the West saying, look, you don't understand

00:34:56.640 our history.

00:34:57.140 You don't understand what's happening.

00:34:58.340 You don't understand what he's doing and how this is affecting even my friends pay attention.

00:35:03.780 It is fascinating.

00:35:05.380 It's called defying Hitler.

00:35:06.820 Another, uh, book that I read, uh, over the summer, uh, by Thomas Cahill is how the Irish

00:35:13.920 saved civilization.

00:35:16.420 I don't even know why I picked this up, but I picked this book up and I loved it.

00:35:21.680 You will, um, because of the way Ireland was a lot of the books when Europe was burning

00:35:31.460 were, uh, taken to Ireland and left in Ireland.

00:35:36.620 So a lot of the knowledge of that should have been lost was preserved by the Irish, but also 0.89

00:35:44.740 the whole story of St. Patrick, I couldn't find any snakes, but do you know what he did

00:35:52.560 drive out of Ireland slavery?

00:35:57.180 He was a slave who was captured, I think in great Britain and the Irish were horrible slave 1.00

00:36:07.860 owners and they would just come and they would just capture people and they would take them

00:36:12.200 and they'd sell them into slavery.

00:36:13.420 Well, St. Patrick, he escapes, uh, one night just because he heard the voice of God and

00:36:21.820 he just walked, uh, he gets, he walks all the way across Ireland, gets to a ship, uh, Providence

00:36:30.180 kicks in.

00:36:31.200 He goes back to England.

00:36:32.840 He never wants to have anything to do with, um, with the Irish again, and he's prompted, 0.98

00:36:38.720 you got to go back.

00:36:39.520 And so he starts changing people's hearts one town at a time, one church at a time in,

00:36:47.960 in Ireland.

00:36:48.720 It's a great, great story.

00:36:51.600 Um, a couple of other, uh, real quick, if you're interested in tech, the tech wise family

00:37:00.900 by Andy Crouch is a great book.

00:37:04.040 This is for, if you're thinking, what do I do?

00:37:06.420 How do I protect my family?

00:37:07.700 The tech wise family, um, far as AI, ASI, AGI, our final invention by James.

00:37:17.300 I think it's Barrett, uh, is really good.

00:37:20.300 There are three of them here that are really, really good that are, I think are must reads.

00:37:24.980 If you want to understand what's coming, our final invention, then Max Tegmark wrote life

00:37:31.520 3.0 and then Brett King wrote augmented.

00:37:36.980 All three of those are really good.

00:37:40.520 And I think it's life 3.0 that talks about the industries of the future that will survive.

00:37:47.900 Then one more category, and I've got a lot more books, but I'll post them all online.

00:37:52.320 This is just real quick highlights, um, in the social sciences, uh, how to win, how to

00:37:59.120 win friends and influence people.

00:38:01.140 I started reading that.

00:38:02.840 I started reading that again.

00:38:04.240 I read that when I was a kid.

00:38:05.400 I started reading that again.

00:38:07.000 That is the book on how to win.

00:38:09.540 This is the book on how to bring America back together.

00:38:12.520 This is the best thing I have read.

00:38:15.140 I have read in a long time, far as solutions, how to win friends and influence people.

00:38:21.020 Ben Sass book, them really good.

00:38:24.840 Um, Yuval Harari.

00:38:27.080 This is a frightening book, but you will understand how, uh, leadership around the world.

00:38:33.540 This is a very respected, uh, guy, respected by global leaders.

00:38:38.240 Everybody reads his book.

00:38:39.840 Who's anybody?

00:38:41.060 This one is, it has some truly frightening things in it.

00:38:44.500 Um, the way he just looks at the world and you get an insight on what's coming.

00:38:49.760 It's called 21 lessons for the 21st century.

00:38:53.540 You may not agree with the lessons that he wants to give, but you should know them because

00:38:58.120 this is the direction of the world.

00:39:00.340 21 lessons for the 21st century.

00:39:02.460 Uh, then real quick, the coddling of the American mind by Greg Luken, uh, Lukenoff and

00:39:09.260 crisis of responsibility by David Banson.

00:39:12.940 There's more on these lists and, uh, we'll give you the complete list at glennbeck.com.

00:39:18.660 We'll have that posted later today at glennbeck.com.

00:39:21.900 This is the best of the glennbeck program.

00:39:28.580 And don't forget rate us on iTunes.

00:39:30.980 There's some new patents that have just been issued, uh, to Google, uh, that, uh, is really,

00:39:46.280 it's, it's quite interesting.

00:39:48.180 Patents tell us, uh, Google is developing smart home products that are capable of eavesdropping

00:39:53.380 on us throughout our home in order to learn more about us and better target us with advertising.

00:39:59.060 It goes much further than the current Google home speaker that is promoted to answer our

00:40:03.700 questions and provide useful information.

00:40:05.940 And the Google owned Nest thermostat that measures environmental conditions in our home.

00:40:15.020 It now comes with a microphone.

00:40:17.420 Oh, good.

00:40:18.840 You don't have to walk over there and turn the little dial thing.

00:40:20.680 That's exactly right.

00:40:21.560 Or go on your phone, which you could also do.

00:40:23.500 Now, what the patents describe are sensors and cameras mounted in every room to follow us

00:40:30.280 and analyze what we're doing throughout our home.

00:40:32.900 They describe in these patents, how the cameras can even recognize the images on a person's

00:40:40.900 t-shirt.

00:40:42.200 And if it's a movie star or a singer, it will alert the person.

00:40:47.500 Hey, by the way, did you know that person is in a new movie?

00:40:50.860 Oh, by the way, you want tickets to their concert?

00:40:55.400 It also connects to the person's browsing history.

00:40:58.380 One patent reads, according to embodiments of this disclosure, a smart home environment

00:41:04.380 may provide with smart device environment policies that use smart devices to monitor

00:41:10.260 activities within the smart device environment, then report on these activities and provide

00:41:16.400 smart device control based on these activities.

00:41:19.860 So, they're monitoring us and reporting back on what we're doing.

00:41:26.640 Sounds great.

00:41:27.600 And it will be in your home soon.

00:41:35.580 So, that's exciting.

00:41:36.920 We've had Charlie Warzel on before.

00:41:38.380 He's a reporter for BuzzFeed that talks about, you know, he's a technology reporter.

00:41:41.960 Yeah.

00:41:42.120 And he was talking about the new Facebook thing that they've just released, which is

00:41:47.140 basically like a screen with a camera that you're kind of just like, it's kind of like

00:41:50.960 an Alexa with a camera and a screen almost.

00:41:53.920 And he called it an in-home panopticon, which if you know, if you've ever been to Eastern State

00:41:59.920 Penitentiary in Philly, you know this, but it's like, you know, it was an old style.

00:42:03.940 I didn't know that's where that was.

00:42:05.380 That's, yeah, yeah, that's where that one is, at least.

00:42:07.120 Oh, wow.

00:42:07.380 But they did, it's a fascinating place to go watch because it was an old style design

00:42:11.740 of a prison.

00:42:12.560 It was actually deemed cruel and unusual punishment.

00:42:17.460 So, they had to stop using it.

00:42:18.920 But the idea was, everything you do all the time is always seen.

00:42:23.620 So, all of the cells were made like in a, what is it, the Apple, the new Apple building

00:42:32.000 that's a circle?

00:42:33.360 Oh, yeah.

00:42:34.080 Okay, so it's a giant circle.

00:42:35.980 The prison is a giant circle, and all of the cells are facing the center of that circle.

00:42:42.500 The guard stands in the center of that circle on every floor, and so they can watch everybody

00:42:50.160 at all times.

00:42:52.080 And so, it was great for the prison.

00:42:53.860 It was deemed cruel and unusual punishment because you had no privacy.

00:43:00.000 So, for somebody to say, oh, Facebook's just released a panopticon is cruel and unusual punishment.

00:43:10.000 It was not meant as a compliment.

00:43:11.380 Yeah.

00:43:11.540 But it's true.

00:43:12.520 We don't even, you know, his point in the story, which I thought was interesting, was

00:43:17.360 we, like Facebook gets a good amount of heat from the media and from consumers about being

00:43:25.700 creepy, right?

00:43:26.660 Like they're just, like they're doing stuff that's creepy, it weirds us out, but we do

00:43:30.920 nothing about it.

00:43:32.380 We don't actually care.

00:43:34.260 We keep saying we care.

00:43:35.920 We don't actually care.

00:43:37.500 So, they, I mean, think about Facebook, who's in the middle of not only all the stuff that

00:43:41.300 they dealt with with the elections and all of that, but all the privacy stuff, all of

00:43:45.340 the, you know, mistakes and all of that they've been dealing with for multiple years, and in

00:43:51.000 the middle of that environment, they introduce for consumers a screen and camera for you to

00:43:57.900 talk to in every room in your home all the time and expect it to be well-received, and

00:44:03.200 it seems to be.

00:44:03.800 I mean, that is, we are.

00:44:07.560 Why is China, why is China spending so much money themselves building this system when we

00:44:13.740 are building it for them?

00:44:15.640 So, in case you don't know, the social credit monitoring system in China, in all Beijing citizens

00:44:24.620 in 2020 will have this, and it is, it monitors 22 million citizens in 2020.

00:44:36.380 It's going to be nationwide.

00:44:38.780 It's supposed to turn on in 2020, but they have already started it with, I think, 22 million,

00:44:46.440 and it monitors everything, and if you get great social credit, if you're talking to the

00:44:55.400 right people online, if you're shopping at the right stores, if you're, you know, paying

00:45:01.300 your bills on time, you know, if you're not jaywalking, all of that, all of that, you're

00:45:08.460 not talking harshly to others, all of that goes into your social media score, and when

00:45:16.740 you have a social media score, if it's in the green zone, you're great, but if it's in

00:45:20.800 the yellow zone, which already, 11 million people, 11 million.

00:45:27.560 And that's just flights.

00:45:29.360 Just, it's 11 million people who have been blocked from booking flights, 4 million high

00:45:34.180 speed train trips have been blocked, over 3 million just upgrades, so you want to go and

00:45:38.300 you want to be in business class?

00:45:39.200 No, you can't.

00:45:40.180 Your social score isn't good enough.

00:45:41.960 Again, they've just done this.

00:45:43.460 This is a small scale.

00:45:44.660 It's not going to be fully unearthed until 2020 and 2021, and they're going to have everybody

00:45:50.760 in the middle of the system.

00:45:51.700 Listen to this quote.

00:45:52.780 Listen to this quote.

00:45:53.460 When they're going to blacklist you, they have the people they choose and say that are

00:45:59.860 untrustworthy citizens will, quote, be unable to move even a single step, end quote, according

00:46:08.040 to the government's plan.

00:46:10.020 This is what they're admitting to.

00:46:12.240 If you are on their blacklist, you can't move a single step.

00:46:16.220 And by the way, there's no way to, there's no way to fight this.

00:46:20.000 If you're Chinese, you get it, you're on the list, doesn't matter. 1.00

00:46:23.580 By the way, it's going to monitor if you're giving blood donations, because that's what

00:46:27.820 a good citizen does.

00:46:28.840 You're living a healthy lifestyle.

00:46:30.440 Are you eating and exercising?

00:46:32.340 Are you volunteering?

00:46:33.360 Do you do volunteer work?

00:46:34.920 Because that's what a good citizen does.

00:46:37.080 If you violate traffic laws, smoke or drink or speak poorly about the government, that's

00:46:42.860 what a bad citizen does.

00:46:44.180 Yeah.

00:46:44.440 And what they're saying, you know, because how can you ever tell, right?

00:46:47.860 Like when you're saying something that pisses off an authoritarian government, it's almost

00:46:51.400 impossible.

00:46:52.260 And what they think it's going to do is, yeah, a lot of people are going to get burned by

00:46:56.820 this, but the larger scale of it is people will just be so uninvolved in politics because

00:47:03.000 they're terrified that their daily lives will be destroyed, that they just won't pay attention

00:47:07.240 at all and stay out of it no matter what.

00:47:09.480 And what was the, I mean, you know, they talked about the, you know, the United States being

00:47:13.180 a government that is only, can only work with a moral and engaged people, right?

00:47:18.460 It's the exact opposite.

00:47:19.520 They want to create an entire population that is completely disengaged so that they can do

00:47:26.040 whatever they want, whenever they want.

00:47:27.440 Well, I think that works out fine here too, because that's what's happening to us.

00:47:30.780 We're so tired of this.

00:47:33.120 We'd gladly give up a bit of our freedom for somebody just to take this and handle it so

00:47:37.760 we don't have to worry about it anymore.

00:47:39.960 That's what they're creating.

00:47:41.100 Yeah.

00:47:41.420 That's what they're creating.

00:47:42.360 And we want, we have a thirst for it.

00:47:44.340 Oh yeah.

00:47:45.000 Look, look at the, look at this, the Cyber Monday specials today.

00:47:48.800 Hey, you'll see right at the top of the list.

00:47:50.720 You can get an Amazon Echo for 24 bucks now.

00:47:53.780 24 bucks.

00:47:54.420 Yeah, the Echo Dot.

00:47:55.240 Yeah.

00:47:55.640 Yeah.

00:47:56.020 I mean.

00:47:56.480 By the way, that's a pretty good price.

00:47:58.600 Don't put it in your house.

00:48:00.080 You go, Amazon, yeah, roll the dice.

00:48:03.000 Google, do not put it in your house.

00:48:05.760 Don't get an Android.

00:48:07.680 Don't put Google in your house.

00:48:09.180 Do not put Google in your house.

00:48:12.300 Android is the most popular.

00:48:13.980 Don't do it.

00:48:15.400 I mean, I, I just don't know how you live life without that anymore.

00:48:20.420 I honestly don't know how you get around.

00:48:22.020 I use Google.

00:48:22.840 I use the Google search, which is enough.

00:48:25.920 Um, not Chrome.

00:48:27.540 I don't use any other Google product that I know of.

00:48:30.860 Google search.

00:48:31.740 You're right.

00:48:32.040 It's enough.

00:48:32.660 Google search is enough, but it's not putting it in my home.

00:48:36.240 Do not allow Google Nest to be put into your home.

00:48:42.760 Hold on.

00:48:42.960 I have to change the temperature in my upstairs.

00:48:45.940 I know it's so hard to do, isn't it?

00:48:49.480 I mean, we're willing to sacrifice.

00:48:51.340 You're willing to sacrifice reporting on how you have your temperature gauge set and a microphone in that thing.

00:48:59.480 You're willing to just give away that right because I don't want to walk upstairs and turn that down.

00:49:04.380 It's so far.

00:49:05.180 I mean, you know, several steps to get there.

00:49:08.160 The Blaze Radio Network.
