00:00:00.000 I saw the Red Baron worker video and thank you Red Baron for treating him with such respect
00:00:11.440 made him the employee of the month but I saw this in case you haven't seen it yet you should
00:00:17.420 and I'm going to share it with you but I haven't been able to express myself on it because it
00:00:24.480 it really hit me hard. So today, on a Friday, I wanted to tell you exactly how I felt about that.
00:00:33.340 Also, Brian Lilly from the Toronto Sun tells us about what is happening up in Canada. And Andrew
00:00:39.300 Klavan, author of Find Me Nowhere, host of The Andrew Klavan Show. We talk about his new book
00:00:45.020 and what we expect next week. All of that and so much more on today's podcast.
00:00:54.480 You're listening to
00:01:01.720 The Best of the Glenn Beck Program
00:01:04.500 I want to start with
00:01:10.240 Something
00:01:11.100 That I haven't mentioned
00:01:14.320 All week
00:01:14.920 Because honestly
00:01:18.680 this is the worst of us
00:01:28.660 and this is what is wrong with us
00:01:32.960 and it took me a while
00:01:37.300 to be able to
00:01:39.240 sort through
00:01:47.920 what I think is important to say.
00:01:51.980 It's the Red Baron worker.
00:01:55.720 I don't think I've seen anything
00:01:57.680 this sad in a long time.
00:02:03.420 I don't know if you've seen the video.
00:02:05.920 It's a Red Baron employee.
00:02:07.720 He's in a store.
00:02:08.520 He's just putting pizza in 0.95
00:02:09.960 and some punk-ass kid comes up 0.93
00:02:12.460 and he's just making a virus. 1.00
00:02:16.580 He's trying to make a stupid viral video. 1.00
00:02:19.660 So he's going up to this guy because he's got a bad case of OLD, I guess. 1.00
00:02:25.320 And he puts his phone up to his phone.
00:02:27.880 He says, hey, do you know what time it is?
00:02:29.020 Guy pulls his phone out.
00:02:29.960 Yeah, sure.
00:02:30.780 And he starts telling the time. 0.99
00:02:32.160 And the punk ass kid puts his phone right up next to it. 0.97
00:02:35.120 He's like, I just took Apple Pay, buddy. 0.99
00:02:37.580 I just took 10 bucks from you.
00:02:39.520 You were messing with the wrong guy.
00:02:40.980 and this is not viral because of how the guy reacted or what he said i think this is viral
00:02:52.560 for an entirely different reason and i want you to watch the video here it is 0.94
00:02:58.020 oh this is a joke this is a joke no it's not a joke to me okay i don't have time for this crap 0.93
00:03:03.260 in my life my life is hard enough as it is okay i don't need this crap i got kids at home that 0.93
00:03:08.000 went to bed without me right now and I was supposed to be at home an hour ago and I'm 0.50
00:03:12.200 still out here working and I got to get up at five in the morning and do ten more stores
00:03:17.240 so this is not a joke to me and now I'm probably gonna get kicked out of the store because of you
00:03:23.560 not funny okay I'm sorry man no you're not funny you're sorry you got a smoked look on your face
00:03:30.920 I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm just like I don't need this in my life no I get you no you don't you're
00:03:36.600 trying to be making money off this. I can't even pay my mortgage. And I got four kids at home.
00:03:42.920 Okay. So not funny.
00:03:44.400 To that kid
00:04:06.620 You picked the wrong guy
00:04:09.440 And not because he's tough
00:04:13.800 but because he's every man
00:04:19.820 he's the guy who
00:04:26.940 leaves before the sun is up
00:04:29.680 he leaves before he can
00:04:33.100 say good morning to his children
00:04:35.860 and he comes home
00:04:37.660 and many times they're in bed
00:04:40.260 and he hasn't seen them all day
00:04:42.260 he's the man who sits at the kitchen table
00:04:47.560 and does the math
00:04:49.260 then comes up short
00:04:50.660 month after month after month
00:04:52.480 and he gets up
00:04:54.000 and he still does it
00:04:55.480 he doesn't give up
00:04:58.120 he does it day after day after day
00:05:00.900 and he didn't ask 1.00
00:05:02.520 for your stupid audience 1.00
00:05:05.300 you asked him for the time 1.00
00:05:12.140 He politely turned around and gave you the time when the man doesn't have any time.
00:05:19.220 He was only asking to finish his shift so he could go home.
00:05:24.880 You know what?
00:05:25.800 You looked at him and you saw inventory.
00:05:29.420 You saw something you could pull off the shelf and use for your own entertainment,
00:05:36.620 for your own money, so you could have likes.
00:05:42.140 he's not inventory
00:05:48.280 he's a human being
00:05:50.040 but you grew up with a screen
00:05:53.060 where nobody bleeds
00:05:55.160 nobody ever gets hurt
00:05:56.960 everybody respawns
00:05:59.280 people don't
00:06:01.460 respawn
00:06:02.960 his mortgage doesn't pause
00:06:08.340 his kids
00:06:11.220 don't log off.
00:06:20.080 This is why this video went viral.
00:06:23.180 This video went viral
00:06:25.040 because millions of Americans
00:06:27.980 feel exactly like he does.
00:06:36.920 millions of Americans
00:06:41.040 were not cheering because he got angry
00:06:44.680 they could feel it
00:06:47.400 in their chest
00:06:50.260 because they go through it every single day
00:06:54.900 they give
00:06:56.780 they give and give and give
00:06:58.740 work hard, play by the rules
00:07:00.700 pay their taxes, go to work every day
00:07:03.940 feel like the game is completely rigged.
00:07:13.460 They gave up on Washington a long time ago.
00:07:16.200 You know why people aren't going?
00:07:18.160 Republicans, you know why people are not going to vote for you this time around?
00:07:23.400 Because of that man.
00:07:26.400 That's how they all feel.
00:07:28.520 They've been working their ass off and you've done nothing.
00:07:33.940 you've played a game.
00:07:45.160 And now even the grocery store isn't safe from people like you.
00:07:54.040 This is the forgotten man. 1.00
00:07:57.580 This is the typical American.
00:07:59.700 This is, the quiet people in America are not quiet because they have nothing to say.
00:08:13.740 They are quiet because they're working all of the time.
00:08:23.120 And do not, do not dismiss their silence as surrender, because it is not surrender. 1.00
00:08:40.180 By the way, strangers just sent that man more money than your stupid channel will ever make. 1.00
00:08:50.600 Because that's America too. 1.00
00:08:53.120 America is still good, and it's bigger than you and your punk-ass friends. 0.97
00:09:00.820 So put down your controller. 0.97
00:09:03.300 Get a job.
00:09:04.900 Carry something heavy for somebody else.
00:09:09.320 Everyone's in pain, and you're playing games and whining.
00:09:13.820 Anyone, anyone can get attention by tearing a man down.
00:09:28.540 Respect comes from holding a man up.
00:09:39.100 My heart breaks for the man, but also for the kid.
00:09:43.820 who are you how have you become this man's love for man waxes cold
00:09:52.280 i hope you watch that video until it stops being funny i hope you i don't want anything
00:10:01.660 bad to happen to your life i hope that his pain
00:10:06.780 was so clear to you
00:10:11.920 that you're ashamed of yourself,
00:10:17.460 deeply, deeply ashamed of yourself.
00:10:20.600 And then I hope somebody in your life knows God
00:10:25.660 and says God grants forgiveness
00:10:27.860 and that shame can turn into joy of serving other people.
00:10:36.780 I hope you go and apologize.
00:10:44.280 I hope you find him and apologize to his face without a camera.
00:10:50.280 Because a man like that, a forgotten man like that, he will forgive you.
00:11:06.780 that's one of those videos
00:11:17.660 I wish I hadn't have seen
00:11:18.660 but I'm glad I did
00:11:22.540 I'm sad for him
00:11:25.800 I'm sad for the kid
00:11:26.900 and I'm sad for us
00:11:29.260 cause that's what's wrong with us
00:11:36.340 that's what's wrong with us.
00:11:39.980 We solve that one problem and we fix our country.
00:11:48.060 Because that's who we really are.
00:11:55.920 We're either monsters to each other
00:11:58.120 or we can see people as people.
00:12:06.340 people that we are.
00:12:14.480 Ben Franklin was asked,
00:12:16.560 what is the American religion?
00:12:20.220 They were trying to trap him,
00:12:21.900 get him to say one church or another.
00:12:24.980 You're not trapping Ben Franklin.
00:12:29.820 He said the American religion is
00:12:31.640 that we do believe there is a God.
00:12:33.000 we believe there's a God
00:12:37.060 and he will hold us accountable
00:12:39.740 so we should serve him
00:12:43.120 and the best way to serve him
00:12:45.580 is to serve our fellow man
00:12:48.260 I pray
00:12:55.600 that I can
00:12:58.180 find my way to that congregation
00:13:01.920 I pray that we all can.
00:13:12.500 For our sake and the sake of our children.
00:13:17.000 Back in a minute.
00:13:21.020 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:13:23.800 Christmas is when we remember what we actually believe, not the watered-down version, the real
00:13:33.460 one. Family, around the same table, the same stories, the same room. We call it Christmas
00:13:38.260 because that's what it is. A lot of places won't say it anymore. They'll say it's the holidays,
00:13:43.640 like the word itself is something you have to step around. Well, we won't do that. Christmas
00:13:48.140 is Christmas, and that same feeling used to live in the things that we bought. We used to care
00:13:53.300 where something was made when we were told it was cheap and fast you know that wasn't good enough
00:13:58.100 but now it is and we've stopped asking american giant never stopped american cotton american
00:14:02.740 factories american hands clothing built heavy honest meant to be worn year after year we now
00:14:08.960 see the cost of cheap lost jobs lost towns and a lost generation this christmas put something under
00:14:14.420 the tree made by people who still take pride in what they do american made american quality an
00:14:19.520 American idea. American-giant.com slash Glenn. Use my name, get 20% off your first order.
00:14:25.640 American-giant.com slash Glenn. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:14:38.400 I got to tell you, it hasn't been a good week for Mark Carney.
00:14:43.080 Thank you for the Chinese gong for every time we say Mark Carney. Thank you.
00:14:49.520 Anyway, you had the EU rejection, which is just humiliating, and the B.C. landslide, which is also incredible.
00:14:59.680 I mean, I grew up pretty close to the border.
00:15:02.240 I was like 45 minutes away from Canada.
00:15:05.080 British Columbia has always been crazy liberal.
00:15:08.020 They flipped conservative.
00:15:10.600 Now, I don't know what that means in Canada, but holy cow, what happened there?
00:15:14.600 Brian Lilly, he is Toronto Sun political columnist and good friend of the program.
00:15:19.520 is joining us now. Hi, Brian, how are you? Oh, great to talk to you again, Glenn. That was
00:15:24.660 a tremendous win in British Columbia. Lots of friends of mine who've worked on various campaigns
00:15:31.280 across the country came together out there to take out a socialist premier who, well, one,
00:15:39.940 was ruining the province with his spending, with his crazy policies like complete drug
00:15:44.520 decriminalization uh and out of control spending and they came together unified when he called a
00:15:51.140 an early election while the party was in disarray they cobbled it back together and literally you
00:15:57.020 know one of those things they're building the airplane while they're flying it they were doing
00:16:00.840 that and they took more seats than expected the left actually thought they called the election
00:16:06.760 I don't know how your system even functions, but you called the election because he thought, the socialists thought, this is a perfect time, I'll win another election and we're going to skate through, right?
00:16:22.180 Do I have that right?
00:16:22.740 He thought he could just, yeah, he thought he could use the fact that the party was in disarray.
00:16:27.540 So the conservatives had gone through a leadership race.
00:16:31.380 They elected someone, you know, barely got through. 0.56
00:16:34.940 And then she started firing everybody within the party and then doing a purity test and 0.98
00:16:39.940 say, well, you're not conservative enough and we're going to get rid of you.
00:16:42.680 And so people started leaving and saying, OK, this is nuts and we're not going to take
00:16:47.540 this.
00:16:48.400 And so eventually she's like, OK, I can never win here.
00:16:52.080 I'm resigning.
00:16:53.100 Two days later, you know, and the party starts coming back together.
00:16:56.480 But two days later, David Eby, the socialist premier, and he is socialist, the NDP, right in their charter, socialist party.
00:17:03.120 He says, I'll call an election.
00:17:05.960 And the only thing he had was Trump.
00:17:09.020 I'll protect you from Trump.
00:17:11.760 How and why?
00:17:13.340 And there's nothing you can do about Trump.
00:17:16.620 You can call an early election if you have a reason.
00:17:20.200 He had no.
00:17:20.900 It was the worst campaign I've ever seen in more than 25 years of doing this.
00:17:24.160 So what does that, what message does that send to the rest of Canada?
00:17:29.500 And should we receive?
00:17:31.940 Because I looked at that and I went, okay, that's crazy.
00:17:35.100 There's a massive sea change happening in British Columbia.
00:17:38.980 Is that the way to read it?
00:17:40.780 Or was this just kind of a one-off weird thing?
00:17:45.320 Well, seven out of 10 provinces governed by conservative lenient premiers now.
00:17:50.220 So that's good.
00:17:51.480 It kind of helps Mark Carney in some ways, though, because he's trying to get a new pipeline to the West Coast to export oil.
00:17:59.340 He wants to expand natural gas exports off the West Coast to Asia as well.
00:18:04.800 And, you know, the NDP, the socialist guy, he didn't want that.
00:18:08.300 He was fighting it and, you know, would have reluctantly gone along with it, but would have put up every roadblock he could.
00:18:15.400 Then you guys like, yeah, we need to do this for the good of our country.
00:18:19.140 we've got these resources in alberta let's get them to the coast ship them to asia make money
00:18:24.580 so isn't that tying yourself closer to canada i mean sorry closer to china i confuse you too lately
00:18:31.940 well uh then the natural gas south korea really wants it japan really wants it and and the
00:18:38.260 liberals had previously said no to this justin truda said there's no case for exporting lng
00:18:44.100 and since then i think you guys built 19 export terminals and are selling it everywhere yeah
00:18:49.140 So tell me what happened with – I love the first name of the woman who is running the EU because it's Ursula, and I always think of the sea witch.
00:19:01.400 I think of a Bond girl.
00:19:03.460 Do you?
00:19:04.960 Ursula von der Leyen sounds like you could be a Bond girl.
00:19:07.320 She does, but I don't think that really works for her.
00:19:09.720 But anyway, I think Ursula the sea witch works a little better.
00:19:13.000 Anyway, but set this clip up.
00:19:16.340 We have this clip where, let's see, she's at a panel during the Canada EU Summit in Montreal.
00:19:29.840 She explains that the EU is exploring the idea of Canada as an associate member.
00:19:35.900 Can you explain what that means and what Carney was hoping for?
00:19:41.780 None of us know what it means.
00:19:43.420 And it was first proposed a few months back.
00:19:46.360 Mark Carney said no.
00:19:47.920 Then he used the term when he was speaking to the European Parliament.
00:19:50.840 And she said, we want to extend this to you.
00:19:53.120 And then Germany got angry and France got angry and Greece got angry.
00:19:56.740 They all said, no, we don't want Canada as an associate member.
00:19:59.660 We don't want anyone as an associate member.
00:20:01.660 So it was taken out of the draft statement just the day before the summit started.
00:20:05.880 So on Wednesday, they take it out.
00:20:08.580 She shows up and uses the term.
00:20:10.460 So does Carney.
00:20:11.220 but then she starts talking about what it means and and i've been saying from the beginning you
00:20:17.120 want to get closer to europe you want to do more trade with europe that's good more trade means
00:20:20.900 we're going to make more money and we're selling them stuff not just importing that would be good
00:20:25.420 but you don't get deep market access with the europeans unless you give up sovereignty unless
00:20:31.440 you start taking their regulations so with that context listen to what ursula von der leyen was
00:20:37.540 say here it is we are exploring the idea of an associate member but this means for example
00:20:46.820 aligning our policies our programs our governance and many topics that we can develop everybody in
00:20:55.380 canada who knows what that means had to have freaked out by that that's that's death to canada
00:21:02.280 sadly no um i mean it's bothering me because i know what it means but there are others who
00:21:08.560 just say well yeah eu policies are good just like look the eu is ramping up sanctions on our steel
00:21:16.060 our aluminum and our cement and other products that once they're implemented they'll they will
00:21:21.920 cost us as much as donald trump section 232 tariffs but nobody's kicking up a stink why
00:21:27.640 Orange man, bad.
00:21:28.940 Europe, moral, right, and just.
00:21:31.580 That's kind of like the elite thinking, right?
00:21:33.840 Europe's always better than anything in North America.
00:21:36.920 And so it's the same thing with these regulations.
00:21:39.380 Like, which crazy regulations?
00:21:40.800 I'm sitting here with a Gatorade bottle.
00:21:43.820 You know, in Europe, I could not take the cap off.
00:21:46.420 I don't know if you've been there lately, but the cap just kind of hangs on on the side.
00:21:52.080 They've got policies.
00:21:53.220 If you're a clothing manufacturer and you've got a bunch of stuff that just didn't sell, let's say you came up with a dud design and it won't sell.
00:22:02.000 You're not allowed to destroy them.
00:22:04.180 You've got to find other ways to basically give them away.
00:22:07.340 You can't say, well, that was awful.
00:22:09.240 Let's do something else with it.
00:22:11.380 Nope, not allowed to do that.
00:22:13.180 Your car, your car has to have this thing turned on all the time that tries to stop you from speeding.
00:22:19.300 I'm sure you never speed, Glenn.
00:22:21.060 I know I never go over and speed.
00:22:23.220 i don't but it's uh on my car oh they they they make this be automatic in every new car in europe
00:22:32.460 is this what we want apparently some people do because mark carney has worked the country up
00:22:38.700 into such a lather over they call it a trade war i don't even call it a trade war we have trade
00:22:43.820 disputes with the americans right now you have trade disputes with us it's not a war we're still
00:22:48.760 selling each other half a billion dollars worth of goods every single day so brian from the
00:22:55.200 perspective of a canadian looking down here tell me about our elections how are they being viewed
00:23:01.540 down here and what do you think is going to happen uh well i've been of the view for a long time
00:23:08.940 that the democrats are likely to take the house i think the republicans keep the senate um and the
00:23:16.740 New York Times may help that with that story out of Alaska.
00:23:20.200 And I haven't moved on that.
00:23:23.460 I still think that the Republicans keep the Senate, but most of the Canadian media is
00:23:29.760 convinced there's a blue wave.
00:23:31.080 And maybe that does happen.
00:23:32.320 We don't know.
00:23:33.420 You know, voter turnout's always tough to tell, and it's going to be a major factor.
00:23:37.440 But a lot of Canadians have just been saying, oh, just wait for the midterm.
00:23:40.720 Those midterms happen, and we're going to get a better deal.
00:23:44.480 And I keep saying, how?
00:23:45.560 Now, the major tariffs that Donald Trump has imposed on Canada and the rest of the world,
00:23:51.260 the Section 232s, that's completely the purview of the president.
00:23:55.000 Read the legislation, except they don't do that and they just drink each other's bath
00:23:59.740 water and they're convinced the Democrats will sweep both houses.
00:24:03.020 They'll force Trump to get rid of the tariffs.
00:24:05.220 Well, one, they don't have that power.
00:24:07.000 Two, he's going to be grumpy if he loses both houses and he's not going to be looking to
00:24:10.460 give anyone a deal.
00:24:11.380 so we have a big misread in most of our establishment and this is the policy that
00:24:17.800 mark carney adopted was this um wait for the midterms and and those discussions back in august
00:24:25.120 when we got new tariffs slapped on us that was jamison greer attempting a you know i'll use a
00:24:29.960 good canadian sports term trying to throw a body check at mid-ice at them and saying okay you're
00:24:34.460 going to come back and negotiate with us or get more tariffs well we failed at the negotiations
00:24:39.300 and we got more tariffs.
00:24:41.220 One last thing.
00:24:42.500 The war in Iran.
00:24:46.820 Yeah.
00:24:47.820 Where do you think that's going?
00:24:52.180 It's taking way longer
00:24:53.980 than anyone would have wanted
00:24:56.900 and I said when it started
00:24:58.220 that this is a big threat
00:25:00.100 to Donald Trump
00:25:02.480 and the MAGA movement
00:25:03.280 because what's one of the big promises?
00:25:07.080 No more forever wars.
00:25:08.340 What's one of the reasons I think that Trump is having trouble motivating people?
00:25:12.300 The forever war, the price.
00:25:13.800 So for people that aren't full MAGA, it's the price of gas.
00:25:17.160 For people that are full MAGA, it's why did you get America involved in a forever war?
00:25:20.880 And for us, it saved the government budgets as they get a lot more oil revenue because the prices spiked up from where it was before the war started.
00:25:30.940 But, you know, you don't want to be living off of that.
00:25:35.540 As always, good to talk to you, Brian.
00:25:37.360 brian lily um from uh from up up north in a in our 51st state uh with the with the toronto so
00:25:46.480 can you guys lighten up on that he doesn't i mean well yes he does kind of mean it but he doesn't
00:25:51.260 he's not we're not going in troops or anything else we're not and everybody else even his
00:25:55.040 supporters are like yeah right we're not gonna think we don't want your problems we don't want
00:25:59.220 your health care system we don't want you don't want our land land acknowledgements at the start
00:26:03.460 of every meeting you know a pile more uh democrat senators yeah no we do not want it so brian thanks
00:26:11.060 so much god bless you thanks thank you bye-bye you're listening to the best of the glenbeck
00:26:21.080 program. You know, certain headlines kind of remind you of just how bad human beings are at
00:26:41.020 predicting what they'll need to be prepared for. Here's one. A lab, a lab worker in Russia died
00:26:46.600 anti-plague laboratory. Nearly 200 people have been quarantined. The suspected disease is
00:26:51.600 pneumonic plague, which can spread from person to person rapidly. The risk to Americans right now,
00:26:57.860 very, very low, but that's not the point. You don't prepare because you know what the next
00:27:02.400 emergency will be. You prepare because you don't. That's one reason I appreciate the Jace Medical
00:27:07.360 and Jace Case. This Jace Case gives you a supply of prescribed emergency medications to have on
00:27:13.140 hand along with information about how and when they should be used here's what caught me my
00:27:17.700 attention about this story when caught early plague can be treated with common antibiotics
00:27:21.760 that already come standard in the jace case i'm not telling you plague is coming to your house
00:27:26.280 it's not nobody knows that if or when and i don't think it is but jace.com use the promo code beck
00:27:31.780 and be prepared for anything jace.com promo code beck
00:27:35.200 you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program
00:27:44.180 andrew clavin how are you sir it's great to see you you came dressed for halloween
00:28:04.920 as a writer i said you i saw you wearing a tie i thought i'm underdressed now back this is the
00:28:11.240 worst thing ever no no no no no not at all how are you i'm good i'm good good life going well
00:28:16.400 it's it's exciting life has been exciting yeah yeah yeah uh so let me well let's start in because
00:28:22.320 you have um you know find me nowhere uh uh out which is your new book number six six i was gonna
00:28:30.980 say five uh in the series yeah tell me about it it is uh i i love this series this is a cameron
00:28:37.260 winter series he's a former assassin who's trying to become figure out how you become a good man in
00:28:43.160 a country where the establishment has collapsed in a country where the leadership has collapsed
00:28:47.540 yeah and so this is a story uh there are two killings on opposite sides of the world one in
00:28:52.860 the outside just outside of afghanistan a soldier is blown up and one in a small town in pennsylvania
00:28:57.740 which has been abandoned by everybody.
00:29:00.720 The factory has moved out. 1.00
00:29:02.220 The government has piped in migrants from who knows where. 1.00
00:29:07.140 They're being funded by welfare 1.00
00:29:09.060 and they're spending out welfare on drugs
00:29:10.600 that are being brought in by the mob.
00:29:12.980 This is strange.
00:29:13.640 This doesn't sound like reality at all.
00:29:16.040 Yeah, not at all, not at all.
00:29:17.820 And so Winter is asked by his old boss from the government,
00:29:20.960 he's asked to go in and find out if there's a connection
00:29:22.720 between these two killings.
00:29:24.060 He finds himself in a city where no matter who he talks to,
00:29:27.380 they want to kill him you know no matter who he talks to they've got secrets they want to keep
00:29:30.720 and at the same time he's he's fallen in love with this he's not a christian or a believer but he's 0.96
00:29:35.880 fallen in love with his absolute delight of a christian woman and he's just head over heels
00:29:41.880 in love with her and really all he wants to do is stop and start to create a home and babies and all
00:29:46.620 did you by the way a love story which you can't write in mainstream fiction anymore so it's like
00:29:52.220 a really different love story really why can't you write it because the our the major five 1.00
00:29:57.500 publishing houses have been taken over by feminist women and they will send you a rejection saying i 0.83
00:30:02.980 don't like the women in these books they you know they're too domestic or too whatever yeah wow 1.00
00:30:08.240 um did you start this kind of because of all the anti-heroes like with the sopranos and everything 0.84
00:30:17.420 I wrote those characters in the 90s in books like True Crime and things like that.
00:30:24.100 And when I saw them come on TV, when I saw The Shield,
00:30:26.820 I turned to my wife and said,
00:30:27.920 now all these characters are going to be on TV
00:30:29.800 because when you outlaw masculinity, only outlaws can be masculine.
00:30:35.420 So the only men around really, you know,
00:30:37.540 the Tony Soprano and the guy in Breaking Bad and all this stuff.
00:30:40.940 And I thought, well, why can't they write a real man who's a good man?
00:30:46.060 And I thought, there's one big reason. 0.99
00:30:48.320 It's that they can't write real women. 0.94
00:30:49.920 They can't write women who need protection.
00:30:51.700 They can't write women who are vulnerable. 0.95
00:30:54.860 They can't write women who want somebody to take care of them and protect them 1.00
00:30:58.420 because the feminists go nuts when they see that.
00:31:01.280 And so when you can't write women, you can't really write men, can you?
00:31:04.920 Because we're kind of one flesh and we all sort of react to one another.
00:31:09.640 And so I thought, well, I'm going to see how I can take a guy from one kind of man,
00:31:15.800 a man who uses his uh his power to kill in not the best way and what does he do when he wants
00:31:22.540 to become a good man but really that's still his power his he's still a violent uh you know tough
00:31:28.380 guy so how does he use that in a way that's good and how does he find love and all those things
00:31:33.520 can an assassin outside of war can an assassin be a good guy well the question is can he become
00:31:41.720 a good guy and and i i think i think yes wait wait why do you say that well well first i i think the
00:31:47.400 answer is yes because there's some people who's we just have to face the fact look i i hate war
00:31:52.900 i think war is one of the biggest wastes of human talent and youth that there is but a country that
00:31:59.220 won't fight a war dies you know that's that's all there is to it and so there's some people
00:32:04.180 whose personalities are improved by getting killed you know and every day you know the
00:32:14.400 trump administration my friend sebastian gorka is in there you know helping them find these guys 0.62
00:32:19.140 who have to kill us and taking them out and and yes yes that is the right thing to do it's not a
00:32:24.740 pleasant thing to do you know it's not i'm not talking about the country i'm talking about the 0.84
00:32:29.960 individual well that's that's the question because when the country starts to sour and you're still
00:32:35.460 doing this then suddenly you find maybe you're not the individual you thought you were and that's
00:32:41.120 what has happened to Cameron Winter so he's he's really he starts out these books in the first book
00:32:45.340 when Christmas comes he's in a deep depression and he's kind of working his way through that
00:32:49.100 and now he's come through that and he's found a girl that he loves but now the question is
00:32:53.340 what does he do with this you know right with his power that he has and that's one of the things
00:32:58.820 he's working out now it's it's been it's been an amazing series of books to write because it's kind
00:33:04.300 of like writing the biography of the country and as a mind you know instead of writing it as a
00:33:10.520 history it's right yeah as a mind and it's um i think they're really exciting books they're funny
00:33:15.160 and they're got plenty of action and does it does it but there's something else how do you feel
00:33:20.180 about you know writing fiction about the country you know i found myself watching more foreign stuff
00:33:30.220 um you know if it's like a cop show or something yeah i'd much rather watch it from england than
00:33:35.500 here because i'm watching i'm like yeah that's what's happening to us where i'm not connected
00:33:42.240 to it over whether if it's happening it's restful overseas it's rest you can like be like what's
00:33:47.480 their problem it's not i'm just watching it here i mean when you're when you're writing and you're
00:33:52.680 planning some of these books and you're like oh god this is the way it really is and you're using
00:33:58.680 these things is it well you know is it is it what depressing or yeah is it depressing is it hard is
00:34:05.320 it no it's not because in in any situation i mean i think this is good christian doctrine in any
00:34:11.540 situation your soul can rise above and so really in some ways it's encouraging to remember look
00:34:19.120 you know we're not it's not nazi germany it's not some of the things that can really terribly
00:34:23.900 happen it's a it's a tough time we're in and it's a very discombobulating time but but of the each
00:34:31.000 individual soul can rise above and make something of himself and the challenges are the challenges
00:34:36.660 you know the world it's always going to give us trouble but we can overcome the world and that's
00:34:40.640 kind of what i'm trying to edge toward as i as i get through this you are i mean you have you've
00:34:46.420 had your books made into movies and everything else because of the redemption aspect of this
00:34:51.360 series is that can it be made oh you know would it be made you know it's funny when the first
00:34:56.860 book came out i gave it to my agent far left guy totally left this guy he flipped out over it he
00:35:02.560 loved it he took it everywhere in hollywood this is my hollywood agent we must have taken 150 people
00:35:08.780 and we didn't get a nibble on it.
00:35:10.800 And this is, you know, agents only love things for money.
00:35:14.060 Right, right, right, right.
00:35:15.220 And he just couldn't get a nibble on it.
00:35:17.400 I'm pretty sure, I can't prove it,
00:35:19.460 but I'm pretty sure I've been blacklisted in Hollywood.
00:35:21.400 That may have changed now.
00:35:22.640 I'm going to try and go back out and see what's going on
00:35:25.100 because I think these books are worth making into films.
00:35:28.200 But I was doing really well in Hollywood.
00:35:31.880 I know you were.
00:35:32.620 My politics came out.
00:35:33.580 My phone went out so fast,
00:35:34.820 I thought there'd been an electrical storm.
00:35:36.540 so so i'm i'm pretty sure i'm a tough sell but i you know i walk is that all coming apart
00:35:43.600 yes well it is but there's a question whether we're we're going to step up and replace it
00:35:49.420 you know we're all guys at daily wire we're trying we are trying and you should see
00:35:53.700 ben's new picture oh i know yeah it's lovely and uh so i think uh we're doing our best but
00:35:59.540 i remember that ip you know the the stuff that makes movies comes from books and so it all
00:36:05.600 starts with books. So I always, and I love books. I know you do too. And so I'm doing this. I just
00:36:11.520 want to say before I forget, because I always get so wrapped up in our conversations, I just want
00:36:15.560 to say that I'm going to be at Interabang bookstore in Dallas tonight at six. And I hope people will
00:36:21.660 come and get a book and say hello. I just wanted to throw that in because I always get so wrapped
00:36:26.020 up in our conversations. I forgot to do it, but yeah. Wow. Bookstores, how are they doing?
00:36:30.320 You know, it's, it's really interesting, especially Barnes and Noble is one of the
00:36:34.800 most interesting stories out there uh it has a ceo who used to be i think with waterstones
00:36:40.820 in england who once killed one of my books because it had religious content not him
00:36:45.860 but there's waterstones did but he has come in and he said we need to really sell books as books
00:36:51.200 and he's restocked the store with employees who understand books that's fabulous yeah i mean they
00:36:57.740 were becoming like a record store that's right i mean for a while it was like gifts and everything
00:37:02.340 else and i yeah when i moved to florida i saw barnes and noble because they've they're closing
00:37:08.280 they were closing a lot of them yeah i went to florida and it's a actual bookstore barnes and
00:37:15.880 noble and i walked in i was so happy to see that but i mean so many people don't read now and it's
00:37:21.620 sad there's something about there's something about the paper there's something about you know
00:37:27.160 I read nonfiction, and if I read it online, I can recall it, but I can never find it again.
00:37:34.360 But if I've read it in a book, I just know where it is.
00:37:38.480 There's something about that.
00:37:39.720 And there's something about engaging with another person's mind over a long distance,
00:37:43.600 over 300 pages.
00:37:45.180 You get to know them.
00:37:46.280 You get to know what you trust about them, what you don't, where your vision's different.
00:37:50.300 It's like C.S. Lewis said, it makes your soul bigger because it contains other souls,
00:37:55.920 you know and it's really a wonderful thing what is your what are your thought on ai and how that's
00:38:01.040 going to affect well you know it's funny i was at a debate a while back and uh i stood up and it was
00:38:06.500 in dc and i stood up and in back of me was a screenwriter i used to know from hollywood and
00:38:11.440 i said well how are things going back in la and he said everybody's terrified the writers are all
00:38:16.340 terrified they're going to be replaced by ai and i as you know have a big mouth and i immediately
00:38:20.480 blurted out if if they can be replaced by ai they should be replaced that's true because i i don't
00:38:26.860 worry about it at all i mean i never you i use it for the most minor for research research yeah
00:38:31.800 it's great on research it's great on research but but i never if if it produced an entire book i
00:38:36.920 could make it better i could make their book this book better absolutely because it doesn't have a
00:38:40.720 soul and that's what that's important you think that's important a little bit yeah back with
