00:00:00.000 Hey, this is the Best Up podcast today. We talk about data centers. We start there because a lot
00:00:05.220 of people still don't understand data centers. And quite honestly, I think the president was
00:00:10.700 wrong the way he approached it yesterday. And, you know, he said, you just want to be broke.
00:00:14.680 You want to be poor. No, no, Mr. President. A lot of people don't like data centers for a
00:00:19.820 myriad of reasons. A lot of people don't understand the power they have. And that's
00:00:24.420 what I want to talk to you about. Your power with data centers. It's beyond your understanding. I've
00:00:30.340 never seen anything like it, but you have to understand it. So before you say no or yes to
00:00:34.820 data centers, make sure you hear this monologue. Also, Texas, I am very concerned. It's about to go
00:00:42.560 blue. That happens. Everything changes. Where are the Republicans in Texas? We'll talk about that.
00:00:51.820 also Mamdani Marts, seeing through what they're trying to push with government-owned grocery
00:00:57.840 stores. All of that and more on today's podcast. One of the biggest mistakes people make in
00:01:03.980 politics is thinking that the election is the finish line, and it isn't. It's the starting
00:01:07.620 gun. The hard part comes afterward, because winning an election doesn't actually automatically
00:01:12.720 fix a culture. It doesn't protect your rights. What does that is people staying involved and
00:01:18.760 engage people who understand that freedom isn't a trophy you put on the shelf it's a responsibility
00:01:22.820 that you have to maintain and that's what i love about patriot mobile yes they provide excellent
00:01:27.360 wireless service on all three major networks so you can keep your phone keep your number
00:01:31.120 yeah all the features you expect from a modern carrier but what makes them different is they
00:01:36.380 understand that the fight doesn't end on election day as america's only christian conservative
00:01:40.940 wireless provider they put their business behind the causes that defend faith family and freedom
00:01:46.400 and our God-given rights, supporting organizations that are doing that work day in and day out.

00:02:09.260 You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:13.140 So on Sunday morning on Fox, Jackie Heinrich was on.
00:02:18.180 She had John Kennedy.
00:02:21.160 And she was asking John Kennedy about Texas.
00:02:25.080 Kennedy doesn't bubble wrap things, okay?
00:02:27.580 He said, we in the Senate just don't have the money budgeted for Texas.
00:02:30.900 And we need some help from the president.
00:02:33.560 Keyword there.
00:02:34.320 What is the key word?
00:02:35.840 Help?
00:02:36.620 President?
00:02:38.660 No, it was budgeted.
00:02:40.580 Budget.
00:02:41.080 We don't have the money budgeted.
00:02:43.140 Texas is 40 million people. It is the largest Republican state in the union. And the committee whose entire job is holding the Republican Senate seats says the money is there, but it isn't budgeted.
00:03:00.100 so what's in the budget okay the senate leadership fund announced a record 500 million dollars for
00:03:08.420 this cycle so it is a record but texas isn't even on the list maga inc is sitting on north of 400
00:03:16.720 million dollars not a dollar of that has hit a texas uh station i don't know who's advising
00:03:24.200 the president on this but he's got to wake up you've got to release money mr president release
00:03:30.200 the mega money for texas okay they spent all kinds of money in the primaries republicans spent more
00:03:37.500 than 120 million dollars in texas and most of it aimed at the man who is now the nominee so they
00:03:45.060 spent all kinds of money going against him so the money exists they found it in march they found it
00:03:51.440 in may they found it to run against him but now we just where did we put our checkbook we can't
00:03:56.740 find it okay paxton had about two million dollars in the bank at the end of june tal rico has nearly
00:04:04.780 21 last quarter tal rico raised 31 million to paxton's nine three straight public polls have
00:04:14.780 shown the democrat ahead emerson has it 47 to 46 in texas no democrat so you know no democrat has
00:04:23.320 won a senate race in texas since 1988 and this one is running even while the party of texas
00:04:33.540 explains that texas really isn't in the budget now you can play this game and you can say well
00:04:40.760 I don't believe the polls. And part of me says, I don't believe the polls. Part of me says too
00:04:48.140 many Texans have taken Texas being red for granite for too long. And they haven't paid attention to
00:04:55.880 what's actually happening in this state. You cannot allow Texas to turn blue. You can't.
00:05:03.640 Okay, so now the part that turns from not budgeted, from a constraint, into a decision.
00:05:11.740 In June, the Supreme Court struck down the cap on how much a national party can spend in coordination with its own candidate.
00:05:20.140 The NRSC read that ruling and closed its independent expenditure unit.
00:05:27.380 They shut it down.
00:05:28.980 It didn't need it anymore, okay?
00:05:30.420 coordinated buys get the candidates ad rate three to 13 times cheaper than an outside group pays
00:05:39.120 for the same 30 seconds that committee now can put unlimited money behind its own nominee direct
00:05:45.540 at the best rate in this market legally this afternoon you're seeing ads for talarico
00:05:55.040 almost back to back here
00:05:57.420 when this happened with
00:05:59.640 Beto and
00:06:00.940 Ted Cruz it was a Beto
00:06:03.620 ad then a Cruz ad then a Beto ad then a Cruz
00:06:05.700 ad that's not happening
00:06:07.680 because the Republicans are not
00:06:09.540 spending the money here
00:06:10.440 and it's not that they're being prevented
00:06:13.140 they're unwilling to do it
00:06:15.420 now let me give them their
00:06:19.160 let me give them their argument
00:06:21.160 because it's not a stupid one
00:06:22.980 the committee has a map
00:06:25.360 This is their argument.
00:06:27.600 Maine and North Carolina, they have to defend.
00:06:30.300 Georgia and Michigan, they got to take.
00:06:33.920 A dollar spent in Texas is a dollar not spent in Maine.
00:06:37.700 And Texas has been safe since, you know, before half the staffers were born.
00:06:42.940 So you don't buy flood insurance on a hill.
00:06:45.840 But I don't think this is a hill.
00:06:47.600 It's a very, very small hill right now.
00:06:50.520 It's no longer a map, a mountain.
00:06:52.260 you know the map only exists if texas holds you lose texas and there's no combination of
00:07:00.940 maine and michigan that gets you a major a majority it stops being a map and becomes a hole
00:07:06.640 and then there's a real reason which nobody will say into a microphone
00:07:10.800 they don't like him and i think a lot of people don't like our governor in texas fine
00:07:18.020 what's the alternative and i mean this sincerely i'm not saying the guy running against um
00:07:25.880 our governor or or against paxton are marxist but their party is and you see how those democrats
00:07:37.140 that are holding the line for free market or anything else that you actually believe in in
00:07:42.300 texas you see how they're eaten they're absolutely eaten by the marxist
00:07:47.680 he was impeached paxton was impeached by a republican house acquitted by a republican
00:07:54.880 senate the investigations the marriage all of it that objection is not invented you know and
00:08:03.760 pretending it would would insult the people who you know you're trying to get to vote okay
00:08:08.960 that's all of that's true but you already had that argument you had it in march you had it again
00:08:16.220 in may you spent 120 million dollars making that argument in the most expensive primary in the
00:08:23.540 history of this country and republican voters in texas answered you 64 to 36 they've all this has
00:08:31.940 already been tried. You've had the trial. You gave it to the jury. The jury came back. Stop
00:08:39.120 rejecting the jury's verdict. That's what a primary is for. You don't hold a second one
00:08:46.120 with a general election as the ballot. 1844, Henry Clay wanted to be president. Wanted to be
00:08:55.640 president his entire life. Finally, Henry Clay thinks this is the year. The question that year
00:09:01.600 was Texas, whether the United States should annex it. Clay said no, and he put it in writing in
00:09:08.340 April. Annexation would mean war with Mexico and a fight over slavery that the country could not
00:09:14.700 survive. That was his opinion. Then over the summer, he got nervous about the South and softened it.
00:09:20.560 Not much, but enough. Because of that, there's a third man on the ballot, James Burney, running for
00:09:28.480 the liberty party he's an abolitionist slavery is uh is not regrettable it is it's a sin end it
00:09:39.860 now that was his way of thinking so people looked at henry clay and saw a man who owned human beings
00:09:46.920 and had gone wobbly on texas and they said not him we're not going to put our name on that man
00:09:53.440 And they were right about him. Clay owned people. He did waffle. The objection was true.
00:10:00.580 Election night came. Down to New York, 36 electoral votes. Biggest prize on the board.
00:10:07.420 James Polk carried New York by about 500 votes and became president of the United States.
00:10:12.800 James Bernie got 15,812 votes in New York. A guy whose name you've never heard. Almost every one
00:10:22.400 of those votes came out of the Whig column. Half of them. Half. Half of them. And Henry Clay is
00:10:29.020 president instead. It was the first time in American history that the third party decided
00:10:34.500 a presidential election. And what those votes purchased was Texas, annexed within month as a
00:10:42.540 slave state. Then we went into the Mexican War. Then half the continent of, you know, of new
00:10:48.460 ground to fight over. And less than 20 years later, there was a fight at Antietam because we
00:10:54.180 didn't make the choice to end it. And because it was a guy who was on the ballot that was
00:11:03.700 waffling and he wasn't the perfect guy, the men who hated slavery more than anyone else alive
00:11:09.960 in America elected the most pro-slavery president available to them because the alternative wasn't
00:11:16.380 clean enough to be worth their name. And so they said, nope, I'm going to vote cleanly. And they
00:11:22.920 gave it to the most pro-slavery candidate. They weren't outvoted. They withheld. 15,000 men in
00:11:30.880 one state decided a compromised candidate was beneath them. And they bought Texas for the other
00:11:37.860 side, and then they got the war. The seat matters more than the man sometimes. If it
00:11:49.040 has already been out in the public, tried by the public, tried in the courts or in the
00:11:55.240 Senate and the House, then accept what people are saying. That doesn't mean you go against
00:12:02.800 a guy who you think is wrong. It doesn't mean you go for a Nazi. It means you go for a guy who's
00:12:12.320 not the most charismatic. You're not electing a personality. You're electing a 51st vote.
00:12:22.200 The Senate does not run on individual senator convictions. It runs on which caucus holds the
00:12:28.440 gavels, sets the calendar, confirms the judges, and the energy inside that caucus this year is
00:12:36.100 not in Austin. It's in New York, where the mayor is opening city-owned grocery stores. It's in
00:12:43.200 Milwaukee and Detroit and Seattle, where the fastest-growing wing of that party runs openly
00:12:48.720 on public ownership and calls it common sense. However decent the man from Round Rock is,
00:12:57.080 His vote gets counted in that room.
00:13:01.480 So this is not free market versus Marxism the way it looks on a ballot.
00:13:08.680 It's whether the chamber that writes the tax code and confirms the courts is run by people who believe a price is information
00:13:19.140 or by people who believe price is a decision that ought to be made
00:13:23.600 by somebody in an office with your name in the file.
00:13:29.060 Prices are set by information.
00:13:32.720 I'm giving you the information now.
00:13:35.600 You're voting for the 51st seat.
00:13:38.880 That's what's on the ballot in Texas on November 3rd.
00:13:43.140 And one of the two parties has decided not to budget for it.
00:13:47.380 you budget for what you intend to keep the abolitionists of 1844 they didn't have a money
00:13:56.300 problem they had exactly enough votes in exactly the right state they they wouldn't spend them on
00:14:03.560 a man they found distasteful and history sent them and you and everybody else the largest bill
00:14:09.500 in blood that this country has ever paid. So, Texas, you had your primary. Republicans,
00:14:18.220 you had your primary. Did you listen to what the people say? You lost it. 64 to 36. Go win
00:14:25.720 the election in front of you or explain to your grandchildren that you handed over Texas because,
00:14:32.540 I don't know, I just didn't think he was electric. I didn't care for the man's manners.
00:14:39.500 And the rest of us, don't wait on a committee that has already announced what it intends to do.
00:14:47.020 Committees are downstream of us. They always were.
00:14:54.860 Texas. Remember that number, 15,812.
00:14:59.840 That changed the course of America.
00:15:01.860 Do not let a similar number change the course of Texas.
00:15:09.500 Mr. President, release the money and help the Republicans in Texas win.
00:15:16.920 Don't take it for granted.
00:15:21.060 We are living in a defining moment.
00:15:23.800 Today, a woman facing an unexpected pregnancy can order the abortion pill online,
00:15:28.140 often before anyone has a chance to tell her that she's loved or she's not alone or that there's hope.
00:15:32.520 That's why you are needed right now.
00:15:34.620 You were made for this moment.
00:15:36.300 At pre-born network clinics, mothers are welcomed with compassion and practical support and free ultrasounds.
00:15:41.840 And when she sees that baby or hears the tiny heartbeat for the very first time, fear gives away to hope.
00:15:47.040 In fact, more than 80% of abortion-vulnerable women choose life after seeing their baby and hearing that heartbeat at a pre-born network clinic.
00:15:55.240 That one moment can save a baby's life, open a mother's heart, and the hope of Jesus Christ.
00:16:00.280 This is our moment to stand for those who can't speak for themselves.
00:16:03.620 $28 will provide one life-saving ultrasound.
00:16:06.600 $140 will help rescue five babies.
00:16:09.040 So don't wait.
00:16:09.820 Dial pound 250, say the keyword baby.

00:16:21.440 Now back to the podcast.
00:16:22.980 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:16:26.500 All right.
00:16:27.160 So the president posted yesterday morning
00:16:29.440 that the only reason that any American community wouldn't want a data center is because it wants to
00:16:37.560 end up backward and poor. Let data reign. Plenty other places want them, he said.
00:16:45.500 Kill the golden goose and you'll have only yourselves to blame. China can't believe its luck.
00:16:50.860 This is coming from a guy I think is very frustrated, very frustrated, because the press
00:16:55.940 is not reporting on the things that he is doing, and nobody is giving it perspective.
00:17:01.600 A few hours later, the vice president stood on the tarmac and answered a different question
00:17:06.300 than the one the president had answered, okay?
00:17:09.240 He said data centers are an important part of the AI economy.
00:17:13.800 And then he said, you know, they have to build the power plants along with them.
00:17:19.740 And he put a number on it.
00:17:21.160 about 99% of the backlash, he said, is coming from places where data center means a higher
00:17:27.140 electric bill for the people who live there. If you build one, he said, you should be putting
00:17:32.420 power back into the grid, not taking it out. Now, both men are telling the truth, but they're
00:17:38.020 answering different people. The president is answering Beijing and he is right. And the
00:17:45.380 stakes are not small. If we lose this race, we don't get a rematch. It's over. And that is the
00:17:52.700 truth. Now, the vice president is also speaking the truth. He's answering to a woman in Sterling
00:18:00.520 Heights who just opened her utility bill in July and sat down at the kitchen table and did the math
00:18:05.440 twice. And there she's like, what is happening? I can't afford this. And he's right as well.
00:18:12.940 Now, here's the thing about telling that woman that she's a dummy.
00:18:16.260 She isn't.
00:18:17.800 She's early.
00:18:19.440 And she's not alone.
00:18:24.040 Last week, this story flipped.
00:18:26.780 The Wall Street Journal found the building trades entering this fight from the other side.
00:18:33.280 So all of the labor unions that built things, the steam fitters, Local 602,
00:18:38.360 the men who run all of the mechanical piping in Virginia,
00:18:41.940 maryland washington they sent a memo to their members drawing what they called a clear line
00:18:47.520 and they said we will not support politicians who oppose these facilities their words not mine
00:18:53.300 their words this is an existential moment for local 602 their business manager said the quiet
00:19:02.360 part plainly. His members knock the doors. His members help pay for the campaigns. And both
00:19:11.240 are now conditional. Kansas is even sharper. A rail workers board representing 6,000 people
00:19:19.880 backed the Democrat for governor for generations. On the 16th of August, they endorsed the Republican
00:19:28.260 for the first time. The reason? The data centers. So this is not elites versus America, okay? This
00:19:37.780 is the pipe fitter with a mortgage against a retiree with an electric bill. Both of them are
00:19:44.700 right. And the only people who benefit from keeping them apart are the ones running the ads
00:19:50.800 nine weeks before an election now nobody in this fight is doing the one thing that americans can do
00:19:59.040 that would end it and that is and hear me clearly negotiating
00:20:04.400 the president needs to hear you're the greatest negotiator of all time you literally wrote
00:20:20.700 the book on this teach the American people how to negotiate 1872 Los Angeles dusty cow town nobody
00:20:32.960 is there's 6,000 people in Los Angeles there's no harbor there there's no river worth the name
00:20:38.720 and the southern pacific was building a railroad east towards Yuma and Los Angeles knew the town
00:20:46.880 that goes that gets the railroad the end of the railroad that's the town that survives and grows
00:20:53.540 okay so they lobbied washington so hard that congress wrote it into the charter the line
00:20:59.160 had to run through los angeles they had it in writing and as if that wasn't enough because
00:21:04.500 the railroad came back and named a price anyway five percent of the assessed value of everything
00:21:10.340 in the county the land in town for the depot the little rail line the town had built with its own
00:21:16.480 money down to the harbor. The only railroad they owned, they had to hand it over. Okay, well,
00:21:25.960 if I were living in Los Angeles, I'd be like, no, I don't think so. I don't think so. But the
00:21:30.440 argument would be, we need the railroad here. Just give it to them. No. No, I don't care if
00:21:37.320 the railroad, you do care if the railroad doesn't go there. This was exactly the same argument,
00:21:43.140 Okay. But they didn't say no. But they also didn't roll over. They put together a committee
00:21:51.820 of the toughest men they had. They had a former governor. They had a merchant, a banker. And those
00:21:58.080 men sat across the table from the most powerful corporation in all of California for the better
00:22:03.500 part of a year. And when they came back, the package had things in it Los Angeles wanted
00:22:09.680 and the railroad hadn't offered. They all of a sudden got a branch line south to Anaheim,
00:22:17.200 an east line through the San Gabriel Valley, a depot built inside the city by the railroad.
00:22:25.180 Then they did something that somehow or another we have forgotten to do.
00:22:28.600 They put it on the ballot. It was November 5th, 1872. 1,896 votes yes, 724 no. A county of maybe
00:22:42.000 15,000 people voted to hand over $600,000. Four years later, the line came through the mountains
00:22:51.780 and connected, and everything you know about Southern California follows that vote. So they
00:22:58.340 negotiated. They negotiated hard. They got a good deal. Then they put it up for a vote for the
00:23:03.420 people. And then the people had to be convinced yes or no. They could have voted no, but it was
00:23:08.880 up to the people in the end. Los Angeles is not there because God put a harbor there.
00:23:16.280 Los Angeles is there because a town of 6,000 people paid a fortune it didn't have for a seat
00:23:22.800 at the table it had not been invited to. But look where you're sitting. You don't have to pay for it.
00:23:30.360 They're coming to you. They need your land. The railroad didn't need Los Angeles. Los Angeles
00:23:37.840 needed the railroad. They need your land. They need your substation. They need your
00:23:44.520 transmission corridor. They need three signatures from your county commission.
00:23:51.000 Los Angeles would have given anything for that position.
00:23:54.920 And we're just spending it all on the word no for free.
00:24:03.060 Why would you say no?
00:24:04.540 I mean, okay, no, wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:24:05.700 I don't mean it that way.
00:24:07.940 I understand why you might say no, but why would you lead with no?
00:24:13.880 You have leverage Los Angeles never had.
00:24:18.960 and you're handing all of that leverage back unused,
00:24:23.640 you may still in the end say no,
00:24:26.460 but at least use your leverage.
00:24:30.000 Do you need a hospital in your county?
00:24:32.240 Ask for it.
00:24:33.780 You want all the county roads rebuilt?
00:24:36.740 Not just the one truck route to the gate?
00:24:40.640 Ask for it.
00:24:41.520 You need all your property taxes gone.
00:24:43.840 You need a whole new school district.
00:24:46.920 20% off of the residential rate for your electricity bill.
00:24:52.900 Forever.
00:24:54.440 A written guarantee that not $1 of the transmission upgrade
00:24:59.580 lands on a single rate payer inside the county line.
00:25:03.320 You just ask for it.
00:25:06.360 Don't let anybody tell you that's a fantasy because it's not.
00:25:09.840 It's already happening.
00:25:11.480 You know, Lancaster, Pennsylvania negotiated over $20 million in commitments.
00:25:16.200 Cedar Rapids wrote an agreement where the city, not the company, decides how the money gets spent.
00:25:22.500 The company gets input, but no veto.
00:25:25.320 El Paso traded a property tax abatement for a road package and a requirement that the company publish every year exactly how much electricity and water it uses.
00:25:36.900 Texas now makes the big loads pay for the transmission cost up front.
00:25:42.460 New Jersey created a whole separate rate class for these facilities to pay for their own power.
00:25:49.440 42 utility tariffs have already been approved around the company to keep it off your bill.
00:25:55.800 In January, Microsoft volunteered to cover all of its own electricity, cut its water use, and skip all of the tax breaks.
00:26:04.660 Tax breaks? You shouldn't even be thinking about a tax break for them?
00:26:09.300 well we ought to bring this big corporation in and we're going to give it tax break no tax breaks
00:26:14.900 for them none i want the tax revenue from them and i want them to build a hospital or i want
00:26:23.140 them to make sure that whatever the electricity cost goes to it's being cut by 20 by them
00:26:30.480 they're paying 20 of it
00:26:32.920 that's that that is the thing that americans really need because they're both right both
00:26:41.200 donald trump and jd vance were right yesterday both of them were saying the one true thing
00:26:48.800 we must have these data centers or we lose we lose to china we have to have them now you don't
00:26:57.620 have to have them in your county but is there anything in your county that you need ask them
00:27:06.600 ask for the moon what's the worst they can say no okay well we were going to say no to you anyway
00:27:13.300 so it doesn't matter us look i'm telling you i never negotiate and people don't understand this
00:27:21.280 but it has done a great service for me. I do not negotiate. I hate negotiating.
00:27:26.980 I take a completely different approach. I make promises. Promises I can keep. Negotiation gets
00:27:34.520 too weird for me. I can say, I sit down and if I were a county, I'd be sitting down at the table
00:27:40.100 and I'd talk to everybody in the county and say, what do we need? What do we need? What are the
00:27:44.900 dreams it would take to get this done? We need a hospital. We need some schools. And I want no
00:27:49.700 property tax from here until eternity. No property tax. Great. Okay. So then I sit in front of them
00:27:56.660 and I say, look, I need no property tax. I need a hospital and I need the electricity cost or
00:28:04.420 whatever it is. And I might add a few other things. And I can tell you if I don't hit three
00:28:08.940 out of the five, the answer is no. And that's a promise. I'm not negotiating with you. I'm giving
00:28:15.300 you five things. I need to hit three of those or we're not in. And I mean it. I'm telling you,
00:28:23.800 when you negotiate and you are making promises, it takes all of the pressure off.
00:28:30.880 You're not like, you just have to make sure you're willing to walk away from the table.
00:28:34.960 If you're willing to walk away the table and you know what the bottom line is,
00:28:38.780 sit at the table, sit at any table. You have no idea what's happening. I just know
00:28:44.500 what my price is you can hit that okay let's do it now i've been told by everybody you're not
00:28:52.540 going to do that and that's fine if you don't want to go find another county we don't need
00:28:57.600 you that bad we don't want you here but i've talked to the people of the county and this
00:29:02.260 is what it would take and so that's it hit three out of the five that's what we have to do
00:29:10.120 if we don't do this see the problem is we have so many people we've spent years
00:29:19.840 accusing the other side of ramming things through and telling people their concerns
00:29:25.300 are imaginary you don't get to be right about that and then post to anybody who asks a question
00:29:32.700 you know well you just want to be poor no you don't you can stop calling an ai data center
00:29:40.500 and start calling it a power plant with a customer attached which is closer to true
00:29:45.440 and it won't survive one bad utility bill the word the word follows the invoice and one more
00:29:54.840 thing the small towns and the mid-sized cities the other side has gone gone all in because
00:30:00.640 it pulls for nine weeks it's a good midterm play okay terrible terrible terrible decades follow
00:30:10.200 that but it's good for the midterms those big cities are shredding people and shredding revenue
00:30:15.800 and hiding it and they're about to shred the one industrial build of our lifetime because it's good
00:30:23.500 for the midterms which means it's sitting there for you there's going to be a town somewhere in
00:30:29.980 Ohio or Michigan or Wyoming that comes out of this with a new hospital, a rebuilt water system,
00:30:34.920 no property tax, per capita growth numbers that embarrass Chicago. And it won't be the town that
00:30:40.880 shouted the loudest. It'll be the town that showed up with a lawyer, a list, and a number.
00:30:47.260 Los Angeles bought its seat. Yours is being offered. Don't leave it empty. For heaven's
00:30:52.820 sakes, don't give it away for nothing. Get something out of it.
00:31:00.640 Some people feel kind of stuck right now.
00:31:02.820 On one hand, they built up a lot of equity in their home over the years.
00:31:05.740 But on the other hand, they're looking at that low mortgage rate that they've had for a long time, like it's a family heirloom that you need to protect at all costs.
00:31:12.800 I get it.
00:31:13.500 If you locked into a really good rate a few years ago, the idea of refinancing your entire mortgage right now probably feels like a horrible financial decision.

00:32:17.540 Check out the full show podcast anywhere you download podcasts.
00:32:20.580 I want to go back to Mom Donnie here in just a second, but I want to actually, I want to do a shout out to two friends of mine that I think are extraordinarily talented and done something really extraordinary.
00:32:32.420 The first one is Tyler Carden, who has just released something he worked feverishly on for a long time, Dusty Bluffs.
00:32:41.160 I have not seen it yet.
00:32:42.420 It's available on Blaze TV and you can watch it.
00:32:46.460 And it is, from everything I hear, again, I have not watched it.
00:32:49.540 I'm going to spend the next couple of weeks trying to watch these things.
00:32:52.520 But Dusty Bluffs is a comedy.
00:32:56.100 And it is done by a couple of guys.
00:32:59.780 I can't remember the movie that I saw that they did that was just really quirky and very funny.
00:33:08.980 And so he got these two guys to do this series about saving a local newspaper.
00:33:15.720 And it's very, very funny.
00:33:17.440 The other one is from my friend Jeremy Boring, who used to be at Daily Wire.
00:33:22.660 And he just, and I think, Jason, do you know the Pendragon Cycle?
00:33:26.680 Is that on Prime or is that on Netflix?
00:33:28.500 It's on Prime.
00:33:29.240 It's on Prime.
00:33:30.380 The Pendragon Cycle, I have talked, again, I haven't seen it.
00:33:34.160 I'm going to watch it, but I haven't seen it.
00:33:36.060 I have been told by friends who have seen it that it is shocking that it was only on Daily Wire and it was, you know, and it was done.
00:33:48.520 And it, you know, the reason why I say it was shocking is because it was so expensive and you have to spend money to get that kind of quality.
00:33:57.760 And Jeremy has a really good eye and he's a great storyteller.
00:34:01.960 So both of those are out.
00:34:04.380 One is on Blaze TV, that's Dusty Bluffs, and the other is a Pendragon Cycle.
00:34:10.180 And if you're tired of all of these things, you know, if you're tired of culture being owned by the left, we have to support culture.
00:34:19.680 We have to support the guys that are doing it.
00:34:21.960 And Tyler did Dusty Bluffs and worked, I mean, I don't even know, a year and a half on that.
00:34:28.280 And it's really good, from what I hear, and Pendragon Cycle.
00:34:32.440 And I don't mean to couch this.
00:34:34.260 I just don't want to tell you something that I haven't seen.
00:34:36.140 But from every indication from people that I really respect, both of these are outstanding.
00:34:42.120 And I have to tell you, when I started The Blaze 15 years ago, there was no way we could compete in movies.
00:34:49.300 There's no way we compete in television.
00:34:51.880 You know, I spent, I'll tell you, I spent in the first couple of years $20 million.
00:34:59.420 I spent everything I had.
00:35:01.200 Everything that I had earned my whole life and saved, I spent all of it trying to prove to America that, yes, you can watch great television news and get great quality on the Internet.
00:35:17.780 And we could never make it profitable at that time, at least, because we were still dealing with buffering.
00:35:23.580 But I'm telling you, some of the best news television ever, ever done was done on the blaze.
00:35:30.020 And that's because of Joel Cheatwood and some of the other people that work with me at the time.
00:35:34.380 They put together an amazing, amazing network.
00:35:37.960 We couldn't compete.
00:35:39.420 That was the first time anything was competitive with regular television.
00:35:43.580 Then our friends who are making great movies now.
00:35:47.220 Now we're making great television, great episodic television.
00:35:51.600 I mean, that was not possible.
00:35:53.400 Angel Studios, none of that was happening.
00:35:56.380 And it only happens if you support it.
00:35:59.280 So I always say this.
00:36:01.580 Yes, I ask for your subscription for Torch,
00:36:05.660 and I want you to be with me
00:36:08.240 because I think we're doing some amazing things.
00:36:10.260 But if that's not the thing that you think is doing the best,
00:36:14.080 you think it happens to be Blaze,
00:36:15.580 I no longer own Blaze.
00:36:17.020 I have nothing to do with it.
00:36:18.060 So I don't get any of the money from Blaze.
00:36:20.660 I'm just telling you, subscribe to Blaze.
00:36:23.600 Subscribe to Daily Wire.
00:36:24.980 Whoever you think is doing something great, please support them.
00:36:31.260 I just was interviewed in a trade magazine, and nobody asked me to explain it, thank God, because I don't know it myself fully yet.
00:36:43.240 But everything's about to change again.
00:36:46.540 You know, I said this about 20 years ago, we're going to come to a time when business and media and technology and everything is going to change so rapidly that you're going to have to change how you do your job about every five years.
00:37:04.260 And we're approaching that.
00:37:06.240 We're not there yet, but we're approaching that.
00:37:08.720 Everything is going to be changing on you constantly.
00:37:12.760 The only thing constant in life will be change, constant, massive change soon.
00:37:20.640 And there's going to be a lot of people that don't make it.
00:37:24.200 To make these shifts all the time over and over again is really hard, really hard.
00:37:31.840 And you're going to be doing it in your own life and others.
00:37:34.560 And if you find somebody in your own life, support them.
00:37:37.400 If you find somebody like one of us that is doing something that you believe in, support them.
00:37:42.220 because we need your support because it's we're reinventing an entire industry and it was it's
00:37:51.740 easier now than it was back then but it is still extraordinarily difficult okay jason let me bring
00:37:59.000 you in about uh you want to talk about reinventing an industry uh what mom donnie is doing um and i
00:38:05.660 just saw you were talking to the insiders and i just saw a video of somebody talking to a communist
00:38:11.360 about Mom Donnie.
00:38:14.140 Can you take us through this?
00:38:16.540 Yes, there's a lot going on in this video.
00:38:19.180 When you watch this,
00:38:20.460 if you're able to watch this and not just listen,
00:38:22.740 watch also The Interviewer.
00:38:25.080 This is almost like a South Park skit,
00:38:27.540 but this is one of the people that support Mom Donnie
00:38:30.600 and one of the people that supports
00:38:32.500 what he's doing with grocery stores.
00:38:34.860 And I want you to say, Glenn,
00:38:35.720 I'm really curious what you think
00:38:37.260 about what he's actually saying here.
00:38:39.400 It's interesting.
00:38:40.300 Here it is.
00:38:41.360 The grocery store capitalists, which have quite a powerful lobby, right?
00:38:47.160 One of the grocery store bosses, I think, of Gristides, right?
00:38:52.440 He said that he was going to pull out of New York City if Zoran won, right?
00:38:56.600 We would say, sure, pull out, and we will take over your grocery stores, right?
00:39:00.660 And we will use them for cheaper groceries, and we will take over the entire food industry,
00:39:05.720 because that's something that can be done if the working class is organized.
00:39:11.360 hmm so wait a minute so he when he says i'm gonna leave it doesn't mean he's gonna leave
00:39:17.880 all of the products on the shelf and just throw the keys on the ground and go somebody can take
00:39:22.980 it he's gonna sell it to somebody you don't just walk away from a major investment he you know and
00:39:30.620 by the way if if you believe that is even a possibility why would you even be talking about
00:39:35.820 that because mom donnie has just said that that uh capital flight doesn't exist so why are you even
00:39:42.320 talking about taking over somebody's grocery store i mean it just doesn't exist but it certainly does
00:39:48.020 exist but not in the way you just thought so what are you saying are you saying that you're just
00:39:52.940 going to seize people's property yes and take it over because that is what he's actually saying
00:39:59.360 he's not expecting him to hand the keys over he's saying we'll seize your grocery store and we'll
00:40:05.800 run it if the people are organized that's a pretty big if i just want to say that's what i took from
00:40:13.020 this is him saying we're going to seize the means of production in any you know any way we can we're
00:40:18.960 starting with the grocery industry and i think it's way past time to start really understanding
00:40:24.780 what they're trying to do and stop assuming these some of these people are idiots uh we had an
00:40:29.140 insider that said this is not about you know economics you know this is plainly just about
00:40:34.020 control, changing the system and control. And they know, I think it was one of MomDomi's staff
00:40:38.800 members that was saying, oh, then we'll look into subsidized payments to some of these grocery
00:40:43.160 stores, like one of the guys that you just interviewed, if they can't compete and stay
00:40:48.420 in business. So wait a minute, you're going to spend tens of millions of dollars and more to
00:40:52.700 keep these MomDomi marts in business. Plus you're going to spend millions of other dollars to help
00:40:59.740 the other regular grocery stores stay afloat they know they don't have this money then what's it
00:41:04.980 really all about i go back to cloward and piven they know this will crash the entire system
00:41:09.860 the question now is what are they planning to build on top of the ashes well that is the biggest
00:41:15.500 problem because have you noticed nobody in new york in fact his own people have said we don't
00:41:21.800 have a business plan nobody knows how to really put a business plan together for a grocery store
00:41:26.740 that's why they keep delaying this thing they've even admitted that that we just don't have the
00:41:31.320 people yet to put a business plan together usually marxists don't care okay but he's got to do this
00:41:38.360 hybrid thing he's got to pretend so he's got to come up with something usually someone will just
00:41:43.460 say we're going to do a grocery store and you're going to keep the prices low and you're going to
00:41:47.600 make sure that those people are selling it to you at low prices and if not you punish those people
00:41:53.260 I mean, that's the way communism always happens.
00:41:56.080 And eventually the whole system breaks down, but he's got to play this role that that's,
00:42:01.440 that's the real thing.
00:42:02.660 These people, have you ever read Das Kapital?
00:42:06.300 Yeah.
00:42:07.600 Does any of that make sense to you?
00:42:09.540 No.
00:42:10.680 Okay.
00:42:11.400 I mean, I remember reading it.
00:42:12.920 I've read it a couple of times and I'm like, none of this makes any sense.
00:42:16.560 It's all gobbledygook.
00:42:17.980 It's all made up names.
00:42:19.440 It's all made up words.
00:42:20.740 It's all made up systems that that have absolutely no chance of working.
00:42:25.940 And I say that because it's all been tried.
00:42:28.340 It doesn't work.
00:42:29.760 And these guys, they can quote Das Kapital all they want, but it it has show me where that's ever worked anywhere.
00:42:40.340 And so they don't they don't believe that it's ever failed.
00:42:44.540 They believe that it was failed because some capitalist got in the way or whatever, which will lead you to death camps eventually.
00:42:51.480 It just leads you into more and more brutal tactics because you're getting in the way and you're going to make it fail.
00:42:57.140 No, it fails because it doesn't work.
00:43:00.780 And so you get these dummies who have only studied Karl Marx.
00:43:04.140 They've never read, never read anything about the free market.
00:43:10.940 They've read articles about how bad it is.
00:43:14.740 They've read posts about all the evils of it.
00:43:18.000 And yes, some of those evils do exist.
00:43:20.740 that's why you should read Adam Smith.
00:43:26.020 When you read Adam Smith, not The Wealth of Nations,
00:43:30.940 but the book prior to that,
00:43:33.200 then you understand, oh, that's how it works.
00:43:36.780 That's how you prevent it from going bad.
00:43:40.300 But they've never read any of that.
00:43:42.780 And so they just continue to do the same
00:43:45.140 and listen how angry they are.
00:43:47.800 Do you want to do business with angry people?
00:43:49.680 Because I don't.
00:43:51.440 What good businessman is going to get into business with a bunch of 20-somethings that don't know their ass from their elbow, don't have any idea how grocery stores work?
00:44:02.160 Are you going to spend any time with them?
00:44:03.900 Of course not, because you know your head will be on the chopping block when it fails, because they won't listen to you, and then they'll blame you for it.
00:44:10.040 Why would you work with them?
00:44:11.880 I'm not going to work with them.
00:44:15.240 I can't get into business with a bunch of angry boys, and that's what they are.
00:44:20.080 they're just angry boys they're not even men they're angry boys you know i was on my first
00:44:24.940 day i'm 30 years old i'm the first kid in my family to go to college um and i could only
00:44:32.820 afford one semester um because my wife and i got a divorce and you know that changed everything
00:44:37.620 um and so i go and i'm my first day on campus it's at yale you want to learn stuff don't go
00:44:44.220 to yale um but i i go to yale and um i'm walking on the campus i mean like first five feet onto
00:44:52.280 campus and this college student hands me a newspaper and i take it and i look at it as i'm
00:45:00.180 walking i look at it and i realize this is a communist newspaper and i'm not die hard right
00:45:06.840 guy at this point. I'm really, I lean center, but center left, if anything. And I look at it and I'm
00:45:15.240 like, it's a fricking communist paper. So I turn around and I go back to the guy and I hand him
00:45:19.680 the, I hold the paper. I said, this is a communist paper. And he said, yes. I said, okay, are you
00:45:24.040 married? No. Do you own a house? No. Do you have a job? No. I handed him the paper back. You know
00:45:31.180 what? When you've done those things and you've raised a child, you go ahead. If you're still
00:45:35.820 printing that paper, you bring it back to me. You're not going to be printing the paper. You
00:45:39.620 have no idea what you're even talking about. You're a kid and a dumb one at that. I wasn't
00:45:45.600 real popular on campus.
