00:01:24.900 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:49.860 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:54.900 Hello, America.

00:01:57.760 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:59.980 Well, the elites have arrived in Davos and conspiracy theories thrive online.

00:02:09.420 Wow, that's the headline from the Associated Press.

00:02:13.760 Also, happens to be one of the things the Davos elite are dealing with.

00:02:21.560 We have misinformation about how charitable and wonderful this group really is.

00:02:27.780 We'll give you the details on what's happening in Davos because it ties directly to your life in 60 seconds.

00:02:37.460 First, let me ask you something.

00:02:40.020 The one thing that villains have throughout history, what have they all had on their side when it came time for them to become tyrants?

00:02:51.120 Give you a hint.

00:02:51.820 Same thing the World Economic Forum has on its side this week in Davos.

00:02:56.680 And that thing is complacency.

00:02:59.460 Enough people who don't understand, haven't understood history, or are buying into the lies, and they won't stand up and say,

00:03:07.680 Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute, I don't want any of that.

00:03:12.740 So, what do we do when the next bad guy comes along?

00:03:16.060 Do we just sit there, owning nothing, being happy, eating zip bugs? 0.52

00:03:20.940 Where does it all end?

00:03:22.460 What can we do?

00:03:23.460 What must we do?

00:03:24.600 Well, the first thing you have to do is educate yourself, your children, and everyone we can as a people.

00:03:30.140 So, people can spot the villains before they get anywhere close to holding any real power or influence.

00:03:36.420 Time is ticking, but our children need to learn this.

00:03:40.240 Our children, our children are so lost right now.

00:03:47.500 Everything that is, they are swimming in a sea of filth and evil.

00:03:54.240 And they're not going to survive unless we double our efforts.

00:03:59.080 It's the Tuttle Twins.

00:04:00.780 They have a new book, The Guide to Modern Villains.

00:04:03.480 It shows how 22 modern villains, people like Mao, rose to power.

00:04:08.240 To celebrate the launch of their book, the Tuttle Twins have their whole guidebook series on sale right now.

00:04:12.520 Go to tuttletwinsbeck.com.

00:04:14.220 Get these books on sale this week only.

00:04:26.280 All right, so let me just give you this.

00:04:28.700 Let me give you this story from the Associated Press.

00:04:31.180 When some of the world's wealthiest and most influential figures gather at the World Economic Forum's annual meeting last year,

00:04:39.040 sessions on climate change drew high-level discussions on topics such as carbon financing and sustainable food systems.

00:04:46.340 But an entirely different narrative played out on the Internet where social media users claimed leaders wanted to force the population to eat insects instead of meat in the name of saving the environment.

00:05:00.240 Oh, by the way, I should point this out.

00:05:03.560 In a completely unrelated story, I just saw this.

00:05:08.980 I was doing some research on another story in Canada.

00:05:12.160 And I came across, you can find it, CanadianManufacturing.com.

00:05:17.900 Some really good news.

00:05:19.160 Aspire Food Group has announced that it has completed construction of its alternative protein manufacturing facilities in London, Ontario,

00:05:29.060 which is now the home to the world's largest cricket production facility.

00:05:33.420 Aspire's new plant will reportedly produce 9,000 metric tons of crickets every year for human and pet consumption.

00:05:44.420 That's about 2 billion insects to be distributed annually across Canada and throughout the United States.

00:05:52.340 Now, I don't know about you, but I've been waiting for a plant to make 9,000 metric tons of crickets.

00:06:00.780 The demand is going crazy for crickets.

00:06:04.280 I hear it all the time.

00:06:05.480 People, my friends here in Texas, we're all talking.

00:06:08.160 Hey, do you have any crickets?

00:06:09.380 I'm out of crickets.

00:06:10.380 The supply line for crickets.

00:06:12.320 But the good news is Aspire Food Group has completed their production facility.

00:06:19.200 They're ready now to just start sending out the crickets.

00:06:23.840 Uh, what was I talking about?

00:06:26.660 Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:06:29.060 Elites arrive in Davos and conspiracy theories online, blah, blah, blah. 0.79

00:06:33.820 Some conspiracy theories force the population to eat sex.

00:06:37.400 The annual event in the Swiss ski resort town of Davos, which opens today,

00:06:44.080 has increasingly become a target of bizarre claims from a growing chorus of commentators

00:06:51.280 who believe the forum involves a group of elites manipulating global events for their own benefit.

00:06:59.140 Experts say that it was once a conspiracy theory found in the Internet's underbelly,

00:07:04.360 but now it has hit the mainstream.

00:07:07.760 One of the things that apparently these conspiracy theorists are talking about

00:07:14.140 is how the World Economic Forum had the Great Reset ready to go

00:07:20.400 and were part of, you know, the WHO and all of the plans

00:07:25.460 to shut down the economies of the world when it came to a, you know, some sort of a pandemic.

00:07:32.700 And then people started with those conspiracy theories

00:07:37.020 and the World Economic Forum, you know, started warning misinformation.

00:07:42.880 You got to control that misinformation.

00:07:46.060 And they did.

00:07:47.260 Hey, I'm sorry.

00:07:49.200 I'm so riddled with ADD.

00:07:50.960 You know, that cricket story I was just telling you about.

00:07:53.440 The reason why I was looking up at Canada and seeing some things up in Canada

00:07:57.640 was because there's a story up in Canada that's out today.

00:08:04.240 Danielle Stephanie Warriner.

00:08:07.200 She was sitting alone in a Toronto hospital.

00:08:11.680 She was wearing a blue medical gown.

00:08:15.980 And she was sitting in kind of like a wheelchair.

00:08:18.960 And she has her mask down off of her face.

00:08:23.360 But that's because she went to the hospital because she was having a hard time breathing. 0.99

00:08:29.760 So she couldn't have the mask over her face.

00:08:33.820 She didn't have COVID, by the way.

00:08:35.520 But she couldn't put the mask over her face because she couldn't breathe.

00:08:43.560 But, you know, hey, rules are rules.

00:08:45.120 So the nurse came out, started yelling at her. 1.00

00:08:47.380 And then two security guards came.

00:08:49.240 In fact, we have a little film of it.

00:08:51.560 There you see Danielle, if you happen to be watching on the blaze,

00:08:55.580 here comes the nurse to yell at her. 1.00

00:08:57.440 You've got to put that mask on your face.

00:08:59.420 She's like, I can't breathe.

00:09:01.120 So the security guards are given gowns.

00:09:04.900 And the security guards push her up against the wall along with a nurse. 1.00

00:09:08.680 And they pin her to the wall, you know, putting their arm against her chest,

00:09:13.780 kind of in a George Floyd sort of way.

00:09:15.960 And there they are now wheeling her dead body in the wheelchair with such class.

00:09:23.480 She died.

00:09:24.880 She died.

00:09:25.580 Of COVID?

00:09:26.620 No, no, no.

00:09:27.840 She died of COVID-related issues.

00:09:33.180 But don't worry.

00:09:34.380 There's nobody.

00:09:35.320 I'm sorry.

00:09:36.060 I've got to get back to this economic story.

00:09:37.580 There is nobody that is trying to take your rights away.

00:09:42.040 That's not happening.

00:09:44.240 And the World Economic Forum and the world leaders, they haven't been doing this.

00:09:49.940 I mean, can you think of a time when all world leaders were doing the same thing,

00:09:54.900 where every country was doing exactly the same thing?

00:10:00.000 I mean, sure, they all said it's the Great Reset.

00:10:03.240 Sure, they all said build back better, which is from the World Economic Forum.

00:10:08.640 But can you think?

00:10:09.760 I mean, look at how different every country reacted to COVID.

00:10:15.380 And nobody lost their rights.

00:10:17.720 Sure, in China, but nowhere else.

00:10:22.460 Anyway, so now increasingly in mainstream corners of the Internet and conservative talk shows.

00:10:30.820 Stu, I think they're talking about you.

00:10:33.240 The Great Reset has become shorthand for what skeptics say is a reorganization of society

00:10:40.820 using global uncertainty as a guise to take away rights.

00:10:46.480 Now, why would you say that?

00:10:48.920 Why would you say that?

00:10:50.140 That is crazy.

00:10:52.260 Yes, they put out, you know, their own video made by them that said by 2030,

00:10:58.880 you'll own nothing.

00:11:00.740 You will not have privacy, but you'll like it.

00:11:05.980 I mean, what rights are you talking about taking away?

00:11:11.560 By the way, you know, I got to be careful what I say here,

00:11:15.620 because you say the words, the Great Reset on YouTube,

00:11:19.380 and they take you off of YouTube because you can't say those things.

00:11:25.240 Oh, I'm on YouTube now.

00:11:26.720 The Great Reset, the Great Reset, the Great Reset.

00:11:30.120 Sucks, doesn't it?

00:11:31.600 Now, I can't imagine. 0.95

00:11:33.760 For instance, let me give you this conspiracy theory that it was just from right-wingers.

00:11:38.620 Remember the right-winger, Richard Trumka, came out last week, last Sunday.

00:11:46.080 Why are you looking confused?

00:11:47.200 Well, Richard Trumka was an Obama-era union.

00:11:51.520 Yeah, but he's spreading conspiracy theories now, so he is clearly a right-wing zealot.

00:11:56.100 So, he comes out, and he says, you know, as a consumer protection agency guy,

00:12:02.520 we are now looking at gas stoves because there's this really credible source out there that did a study

00:12:08.980 that says gas stoves can lead to asthma in kids. 0.57

00:12:13.800 And so, we're going to look at opening it up to public comments.

00:12:19.980 Should we restrict or ban gas stoves?

00:12:24.160 Well, of course, this was Republican scare tactics.

00:12:29.560 I mean, they're not going to do it.

00:12:32.740 There is no intention of doing it.

00:12:35.280 And nobody is suggesting this.

00:12:39.520 Nobody is.

00:12:41.500 Well, okay, the Department of Energy.

00:12:45.520 Okay, I mean, they're looking for efficiency standards.

00:12:51.680 Gas furnaces, they're going to try to get rid of gas furnaces. 1.00

00:12:56.620 And there's a not-yet-released proposed rule for water heaters that will tilt away from gas.

00:13:05.220 I bet Republicans are going to pounce on that, too. 0.52

00:13:07.720 Yeah.

00:13:08.000 When that comes out.

00:13:08.780 It's just like them.

00:13:09.680 That's what they do.

00:13:10.320 It's just like them.

00:13:11.260 And you know who did the study?

00:13:12.760 I mean, this is, I mean, how do you question this study?

00:13:17.840 The Green Energy Group behind the study, you know, cited by Richard Trumka Jr.

00:13:25.580 to just look into banning gas stoves, that's all he was doing,

00:13:30.560 is partnered with the Chinese government.

00:13:34.700 And their goal is an economy-wide transformation away from oil and gas.

00:13:41.680 Now, it's a Colorado-based group from, it's a nonprofit, the Rocky Mountain Institute.

00:13:47.760 And it published this study that attributes 13% of U.S. childhood asthma cases to gas stove use.

00:13:57.840 But they don't really get into how they came up with that in the study.

00:14:03.260 But don't worry about it.

00:14:04.860 The organization is demanding systematic changes to the economy-wide, total transformation to address climate crisis.

00:14:15.640 And this group says, we have to, you know, we have to go to great lengths to avoid the climate crisis.

00:14:20.960 In 2013, they went a long way.

00:14:26.100 They have joined forces with China's National Development and Reform Commission, which is great.

00:14:33.840 And China went into business with them.

00:14:35.820 And then, you know, some of the things didn't work out.

00:14:38.020 And, you know, the traffic lights had to be dimmed and nobody could cook on their stoves.

00:14:43.380 But that was just the first trial, okay?

00:14:47.040 Now, they advocate the banning of gas stoves.

00:14:53.240 They advocate the banning of gas stoves.

00:14:58.980 Okay.

00:14:59.740 The study, which spans nine paragraphs, was based on a bunch of hodgepodge different data and methodologies spanning various years and countries.

00:15:11.120 And, really, nobody can really make sense of it.

00:15:15.520 The experts at Yale University say, yeah, it's a little more than questionable the way they put this together.

00:15:25.560 No.

00:15:26.060 Yeah.

00:15:26.820 Yeah.

00:15:27.380 Yeah.

00:15:27.740 Now, I just want to tell you that you should not worry when we have a government official citing something, you know, like this study.

00:15:40.480 It's from Colorado.

00:15:42.060 What could possibly be wrong?

00:15:44.500 Now, I will say, I will say that they have a board of directors.

00:15:49.420 But look how strong the board of directors are.

00:15:52.840 Board members, We Ding.

00:15:55.760 Who doesn't love We Ding?

00:15:57.980 That's a sentence I've.

00:15:59.980 We Ding.

00:16:00.400 That's a name.

00:16:01.140 He's the founder and chairman of the Chinese equity firm, Broad River Capital.

00:16:05.820 He started the firm after serving as chairman of the China International Capital Corporation.

00:16:12.980 It's a state-owned investment bank.

00:16:16.880 And the executives, Chinese leader Xi Jinping's vice president, right-hand man, Wang Kisan.

00:16:24.680 And they have deep participation in China's economic reforms and development.

00:16:32.540 And their goal is to serve the nation.

00:16:35.060 Rocky Mountain Institute also sits on China Clean Transportation Partnership, a Chinese green energy nonprofit whose founding members include China's National Development and Reform Commission and Ministry of Transport.

00:16:47.600 So, they, you know, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

00:16:51.540 They're deeply in bed with communist China. 0.62

00:16:54.420 And, you know, who wins if the United States gets off of oil and gas and China doesn't? 0.70

00:17:00.900 Okay, China.

00:17:02.200 What is our president, you know, his son in bed with China? 0.74

00:17:07.600 Who got the Bagram Air Force Base after we, okay, China. 0.59

00:17:13.700 But I'm sure this is all just because gas stoves are very dangerous.

00:17:23.260 Very, very dangerous.

00:17:24.760 And it's a conspiracy anyway.

00:17:26.440 It's not happening.

00:17:27.700 Okay.

00:17:28.160 And all the Republicans thrusting this issue into the culture wars.

00:17:32.020 And this, they don't have any power.

00:17:34.140 World Economic Forum, no power at all.

00:17:36.800 They're skiing this week.

00:17:38.960 That's what they're doing.

00:17:40.220 They're skiing.

00:17:41.880 Man, it's just a bunch of rich people getting together.

00:17:44.600 Get over it.

00:17:45.740 It's not going to affect your life.

00:17:47.660 Man, when do those bugs start to arrive in America?

00:17:50.860 I can't wait.

00:17:52.760 Okay.

00:17:53.920 Oh, there's another story out today.

00:17:56.540 Coincidentally, it has nothing to do with anything.

00:17:59.300 Wall Street Journal says the central bank digital currency where you'll have a bank account

00:18:06.040 with the Federal Reserve.

00:18:08.840 Yeah, that's coming whether you like it or not because we just have to do it.

00:18:13.480 But that's a conspiracy.

00:18:15.340 It's not going to happen.

00:18:17.960 Okay.

00:18:18.620 Let me tell you about our sponsor.

00:18:20.260 It's Relief Factor.

00:18:21.100 Does your head hurt after listening to this program?

00:18:25.400 Do you just have a throbbing migraine?

00:18:28.700 It could be that your head is about to explode.

00:18:32.300 So what do you need to do?

00:18:33.800 You need to reduce the inflammation in your head.

00:18:37.800 All right.

00:18:38.580 Now, this is one of the reasons that I would say Relief Factor exists.

00:18:44.180 They can't say, you know, legally that they'll stop your head from exploding.

00:18:48.680 But I know it will reduce inflammation in your body.

00:18:52.400 I know it helps.

00:18:53.880 At least it does with my pain.

00:18:55.720 Doesn't help my head from exploding, though.

00:18:58.040 That's weird.

00:19:22.000 Ten seconds.

00:19:22.540 Station ID.

00:19:26.220 Man.

00:19:26.700 So, the good news is we have made huge, huge inroads in stopping ESG in the country.

00:19:42.560 And we're doing it through the states.

00:19:45.380 However, we are finding more and more Republicans after they've been courted by the big banks.

00:19:52.680 It's, you know, gee, well, I mean, I'm not saying it's quid pro quo, but we are looking for good candidates to back.

00:20:01.280 And the big banks are coming in to all of the state representatives and senators, and they're all saying, you know, this is crazy, this ESG thing.

00:20:09.980 You shouldn't do anything about it.

00:20:11.600 So, now, Republicans and Democrats are telling our teams that are meeting with legislatures all over the country that it doesn't affect the average person.

00:20:25.460 Okay.

00:20:26.240 All right.

00:20:26.800 There's a new website that is really important.

00:20:30.840 It's ESGagainstus.com.

00:20:34.480 I want to hear from anyone who has come up against any kind of problems because of ESG.

00:20:45.520 If you have been refused anything because of your belief in ESG, we want to hear about it.

00:20:55.040 Now, we're looking for stuff that's not just like a gut.

00:20:57.840 But I just think, no, no, no, we're looking for things that are based on your ideology.

00:21:06.120 Have you been denied a loan?

00:21:08.340 Has your bank account been frozen?

00:21:10.660 Have you been forced to move your money out of a financial institution because your belief is different?

00:21:18.340 We need your story to stop this before it goes everywhere in America.

00:21:26.340 So, I want you to go to ESGagainstus.com.

00:21:35.700 ESGagainstus.com.

00:21:37.220 You'll be able to read some stories.

00:21:39.660 Religious nonprofit group says Chase closed its bank account.

00:21:43.660 Kanye West's story up there.

00:21:45.580 J.P. Morgan severs his ties.

00:21:48.340 A bank closes on a pastor's family business and the family accounts.

00:21:57.480 We're looking for any stories of anyone affected by ESG because of their belief.

00:22:05.000 Again, go to ESGagainstus.com.

00:22:08.980 Please spread this on social media.

00:22:11.740 Someone will be in touch with you, I'm sure, to verify the story.

00:22:16.080 But we need the facts.

00:22:18.540 We need all of the facts.

00:22:20.020 It's not a gut thing.

00:22:22.420 ESGagainstus.com.

00:22:23.080 I just saw a disturbing study out that just shows Americans, the debt.

00:22:48.460 It's through the roof.

00:22:50.340 It's just through the roof because people can't afford to live.

00:22:53.460 Don't worry.

00:22:54.120 It is the best this economy has ever been, according to the president.

00:22:57.540 If you have a credit card and you are putting things on your credit card, let's say you have a credit card balance of $10,000.

00:23:05.360 If you make the minimum payment amount, it is going to take you eight years, eight and a half years to pay that off.

00:23:13.760 And you're going to pay way more than $10,000 because your interest rate is like 20%.

00:23:20.300 You can get that interest rate down to about 5% with a consolidation loan.

00:23:27.040 And I so highly recommend that you just call, please.

00:23:31.260 It's saving an average of $695 a month.

00:23:35.640 The amount that you're going to save just on interest alone is crazy.

00:23:39.920 So call them today, American Financing, 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440, AmericanFinancing.net.

00:23:50.600 Glenn, one more time, the address for people who want to turn in these ESG stories.

00:23:55.400 ESGagainstus.com.

00:23:58.800 ESGagainstus.com.

00:24:05.340 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:24:09.920 West Virginia has been a great state to stop a lot of this nonsense.

00:24:17.800 Probably, I think, maybe only behind Florida.

00:24:25.120 But most of it comes from the state legislature.

00:24:28.440 I'm sorry, the state treasurer and the legislature getting on board.

00:24:33.220 And the treasurer is Riley Moore.

00:24:36.100 Hello, Riley.

00:24:36.720 How are you?

00:24:38.240 Glenn, how are you?

00:24:39.280 Thanks for having me back on.

00:24:40.680 You bet.

00:24:41.360 First of all, thanks for all your work with ESG.

00:24:44.900 You know, the AP is reporting today that all this great reset stuff is all, it's all fiction.

00:24:53.080 It doesn't affect the average person.

00:24:55.560 And these people in Davos, they don't have any power to do anything.

00:25:00.340 Oh, sure, sure.

00:25:03.320 No, just the trillions of dollars under their control.

00:25:06.120 I'm sure it gives them no power whatsoever.

00:25:08.100 No power.

00:25:08.720 No power.

00:25:10.420 You are actually, I wanted to have you on because you have introduced legislation prohibiting the tracking of guns and ammo purchases via debit and credit card transactions.

00:25:22.820 And this is something that the administration is working on, and they're working on it through the banking sector.

00:25:32.320 Can you explain?

00:25:33.160 Yes, Glenn, and, you know, this is going to sound very similar to what we've heard on the fossil fuel side as it relates to ESG.

00:25:44.460 But this would be the S, the social part of ESG.

00:25:48.260 So I've introduced what's called the Second Amendment Financial Privacy Act.

00:25:54.140 And let me give just a little bit of background here just so people understand how this came about.

00:26:00.200 So in September last year, 28 members of Congress, led by Senator Elizabeth Warren, sent public letters to the largest credit card companies and also to the financial institutions out there that deal with them, the banks.

00:26:19.740 And what they asked for is a new merchant category code, NCC.

00:26:25.040 And this is how they code all different transactions.

00:26:27.000 But what they wanted specifically is an NCC code in place to track purchases of guns and ammunition.

00:26:36.440 And now they were very upfront about why they want this.

00:26:39.960 This is a backdoor national gun registry.

00:26:44.080 The liberals have wanted this forever.

00:26:46.840 They've talked about it.

00:26:48.200 They can't achieve it at the ballot box.

00:26:50.440 So now they're using the financial services sector to be able to achieve that goal.

00:26:55.920 So what we've done here in West Virginia is introduce this bill, and it's going to do four separate things here.

00:27:04.520 One, any financial institution that's under our jurisdiction is going to be prohibited from sharing any information as it relates to purchases of guns and ammunition.

00:27:17.880 Secondly, any financial institution in the state of West Virginia that operates here is going to be prohibited from utilizing a firearms code to engage in discriminatory conduct, right, that would say, all right, we're not going to work with this gun shop or merchant, or we're going to deny credit card transactions for people that want to buy guns and ammunition.

00:27:40.520 Thirdly, and this is important, it's going to create a civil action, it is going to create a cause of action for people who have had their Second Amendment rights violated by these woke financial institutions to be able to sue for damages.

00:27:57.640 And lastly, any financial institution that has violated this bill, violated this act, will be prohibited from the bidding process on any contracts with the state of West Virginia moving forward.

00:28:12.960 So this is, and you know, we've talked about the S, what are we going to do on the S?

00:28:18.140 They are now taking the fight to us, we are responding, and this is all about the Great Reset, total control of our lives, they're going to control with the environmental side how we power our lives, right, they're now getting rid of the gas, they want to get rid of gas stove tops, and now they're going to control our guns and ammunition.

00:28:40.840 And here's one of the scariest things about this, you're going to have financial institutions, credit card companies, banks, have the sole discretion to decide when something is, let's say, suspicious activity.

00:28:55.800 Okay, I bought too much ammunition this month, or I bought too many firearms this month.

00:29:01.180 They're going to then decide to flag that for the feds or law enforcement.

00:29:05.980 I mean, this is unbelievable.

00:29:08.100 How is the legislature in West Virginia reacting to this?

00:29:13.980 Do you think this is going to pass?

00:29:16.580 Oh, this is definitely going to pass.

00:29:18.840 And this bill is going to run in the House next week.

00:29:22.640 People are very excited about it, I will say.

00:29:25.840 You know, certainly Florida had a great big red wave there.

00:29:29.100 We also had one for ourselves here in West Virginia in the House.

00:29:33.400 We now control 88 out of 100 seats in the House.

00:29:38.100 And we have 31 of 34 senators in the Senate.

00:29:41.460 And this bill is going to fly through.

00:29:45.080 So that's really weird, because Republicans didn't do well a lot of places.

00:29:50.620 And yet the places like Florida and West Virginia that took on these issues head on seem to have done really well.

00:29:59.120 Well, that's interesting.

00:30:00.580 Riley, I am sad to say, if this is true, that you're looking to leave your treasurer position and go to Washington.

00:30:12.040 Is that true?

00:30:13.300 I am.

00:30:14.080 I am, Glenn.

00:30:15.020 And I've announced to run for Congress.

00:30:17.640 I think we need people that need to get in there and fight to do.

00:30:22.740 There's only so much I can do as a state on a bill like this.

00:30:26.740 And we're going to fight like hell here in West Virginia to protect our Second Amendment rights.

00:30:31.400 But these people in Washington, D.C. need to get off their cans and start to do something about this ESG movement immediately.

00:30:40.900 And there's several things that they can do.

00:30:43.220 And that's why I want to take the fight to Washington.

00:30:45.940 I will be leaving the treasurer's office, but I'm going to continue this in Washington if I'm so lucky to be elected in 2024.

00:30:54.640 Have you prayed on this?

00:30:57.480 I have prayed a lot on this and spoken with my family.

00:31:02.380 And I, you know, it was a hard decision.

00:31:06.380 It was a very, very hard decision.

00:31:08.180 But I got to keep my faith in God.

00:31:12.320 I know, I know.

00:31:12.860 I think doors opened here and I am going to go in there.

00:31:17.360 Guns a blazing.

00:31:18.500 Good.

00:31:19.560 I really appreciate everything that you've done in West Virginia for the state treasurer.

00:31:24.840 I'd hate to see you go from a job that you're really, really good at.

00:31:30.680 But we need more people in Washington that have your sensibilities as well.

00:31:35.140 Riley, can I ask you, there was a new federal restriction or ban on the firearms with the collapsible stock.

00:31:46.560 Do you know what I'm talking about?

00:31:48.560 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:31:49.920 And it's like a 20-year prison sentence if you don't register them.

00:31:55.500 And I think you even have to change the stock.

00:31:58.240 Like, I mean, if it wasn't for that boating accident, I would have had one of those.

00:32:05.700 What do you do?

00:32:07.940 Do you know?

00:32:09.340 I mean, is that like law, law now?

00:32:11.760 It's done.

00:32:13.440 Well, I mean, this is an ATF regulation, my understanding, that they've been working on now for a while as it relates to collapsible stocks.

00:32:20.180 I mean, this is – you know, Washington constantly is doing this, okay, we're going to put this regulation and this rule in place, and then when we come in, we're going to repeal the rule.

00:32:29.840 These are the types of things that the new Republican majority in Congress and the people who are going to be running in 2024 so we can retake the Senate need to be talking about.

00:32:41.500 Back to your point, in Florida and West Virginia, these are the things we talk about.

00:32:46.140 And shockingly, guess what?

00:32:47.840 We win elections.

00:32:48.640 We win elections because we go out and do what we've been talking about, what we say.

00:32:55.840 But this is all about control.

00:32:59.320 They don't care about the Constitution.

00:33:02.080 It has been reaffirmed time and time again.

00:33:04.600 We have a Second Amendment right to have firearms, to bear arms in this country, and that goes back to the founding of the United States.

00:33:14.020 They don't care about that.

00:33:15.160 They're trying to remake the United States. 0.52

00:33:18.640 Thank you so much again.

00:33:22.260 By the way, we're going to have more on this particular issue on tomorrow's program, just to figure out exactly what we're required now to do.

00:33:31.560 Riley Moore, West Virginia State Treasurer, please keep us up to date on this passing or running into any kind of trouble there in West Virginia.

00:33:44.320 I don't expect any.

00:33:45.320 Riley, thank you so much.

00:33:47.500 Glenn, thank you so very much.

00:33:49.320 I'd love to see this pass in every state in this country.

00:33:52.140 And is it posted someplace so other states can look at it?

00:33:57.520 Yes, it is.

00:33:58.460 It is on my website, moreforwv.com.

00:34:02.660 You can go there.

00:34:03.840 It's HB 2004, House Bill 2004 here in West Virginia.

00:34:08.900 And I have shared this with many other states around the country.

00:34:11.820 I want to see this happen everywhere and have these liberals come challenge us in court.

00:34:16.160 Thank you so much, Riley.

00:34:17.480 This is really important.

00:34:18.940 These states that are leading, you need to take their legislation and run it through your state.

00:34:25.480 Every state that has the ability, and we've got, what, 16 of those states that have total control by Republicans.

00:34:36.780 They should all be the strongest states.

00:34:40.180 But you got a lot of wieners in there that are not actually, they're just big government progressive Republicans.

00:34:48.900 You need to find out which ones those are, vote them out, but you need to get these things done in your state.

00:34:55.840 The state is where we can truly make a difference.

00:35:00.760 All right, that was the Second Amendment.

00:35:02.200 I want to go to the First Amendment when we come back.

00:35:06.000 In 10 years, you and I might be complaining that the bugs we're eating aren't grown in the USA.

00:35:15.180 I mean, they're from Canada.

00:35:16.320 You know, they're being, they're from a giant manufacturing plant in Canada.

00:35:21.880 Don't import our bugs.

00:35:23.560 Don't import our bugs.

00:35:25.220 Right.

00:35:25.660 In the meantime, let's say, let's not import our meat.

00:35:30.260 You know, we've got ranchers here.

00:35:32.860 We have cattle here.

00:35:35.020 We have fisheries here.

00:35:37.280 We have chickens here. 0.78

00:35:39.820 Why are we importing this?

00:35:41.460 Our ranchers are in real trouble because of ESG standards, what's going on with the fertilizer and everything else.

00:35:50.200 Right now, I want to ask you to support your local rancher.

00:35:55.580 Please.

00:35:56.360 These guys are, they work so hard.

00:35:59.060 I would never want to, I own a ranch, but I am ranch.

00:36:02.020 I'm all hat and no work.

00:36:05.120 These guys work so hard and they're getting screwed everywhere they possibly can.

00:36:11.320 And they're losing their farms.

00:36:12.460 And guess who's buying it up?

00:36:13.980 Big corporations.

00:36:15.360 So let's support our ranchers. 0.97

00:36:17.300 Get your meat from Good Ranchers.

00:36:20.060 I want you to go to GoodRanchers.com.

00:36:42.020 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:36:50.060 Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, here from Texas, has introduced a bill criminalizing conspiracy to commit white supremacy.

00:37:08.480 Harmeet Dillon, who should be our next head of the GOP, said,

00:37:14.260 Sheila Jackson Lee just introduced a bill that would make it a federal crime for white people and white people only to criticize mass immigration or say anything that she claims would vilify a non-white person or group.

00:37:28.940 What could possibly go wrong with something like that?

00:37:32.960 There's another story out today.

00:37:36.060 It was done by the Daily Wire, and it was on my interview with Richard Dreyfuss.

00:37:40.460 And it is so important that you at least read this story, but I would say listen to this podcast and share it with a friend that you think is on the other side.

00:37:52.380 Richard Dreyfuss talks about, you know, he was a communist.

00:37:56.000 He was a communist and still disagrees with a lot of stuff, and I disagree with a lot of stuff he says.

00:38:01.400 But listen to this.

00:38:03.620 Dreyfuss joined Beck in an interview to discuss his book, One Thought Scares Me.

00:38:07.780 We teach our children what we wish them to know.

00:38:11.000 We don't teach our children what we don't wish them to know.

00:38:15.620 He said he gave up acting only for something he loved as much, which was saving his country.

00:38:25.660 I loved my job of acting since I was nine years old, and I left it for something I love just as much, saving my country.

00:38:35.280 And I firmly believe if we don't revive the study of civics, we will be dead before 2050.

00:38:42.920 We'll have the same name, but it will be a nightmare.

00:38:47.460 I've led such a blessed life, and I gave it up for a blessed life.

00:38:53.620 He said, it infuriates me that people don't understand what this place means, Dreyfuss added, his voice breaking.

00:39:02.920 He actually broke down and cried at this point.

00:39:04.980 What an advance on human progress this country is all about, and how quickly we can seem to abandon it without even a second thought.

00:39:13.820 He said that one of the things he was concerned about was the attitude people had about opposing views.

00:39:23.460 They don't know that opposing views are entwined and threaded through the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and what we show the world we believe in.

00:39:33.840 You know, there's a very simple thing.

00:39:35.540 It's these documents that tell the world who we are and why we are.

00:39:42.540 And we say, because the work's in progress, they'll tell us who we want to be when we grow up.

00:39:50.880 This guy is right on the mark.

00:39:56.260 If you haven't bought his book, you should.

00:40:00.700 One Thought Scares Me by Richard Dreyfuss.

00:40:03.500 He's talking about civics, and you're not going to agree with everything in the book, but he's talking about how we must teach our kids about the Bill of Rights, how we must teach our kids the Constitution.

00:40:20.080 You know, most people don't even know what the three branches of government is.

00:40:25.140 They don't know why we have the three branches.

00:40:28.920 They don't have any idea why all authority can't go to one branch or another, the checks and balances.

00:40:37.280 They don't understand any of it.

00:40:39.660 We cannot save our country if we don't.

00:40:43.840 Please at least listen to this interview.

00:40:47.000 You can find it on YouTube.

00:40:48.760 Just go to youtube.com slash Glenn Beck and look for the interview with Richard Dreyfuss.

00:40:54.920 Again, his book is One Thought Scares Me.

00:41:00.340 This portion of the program brought to you by Saving Aziz.

00:41:04.620 This is a book that I believe in so much.

00:41:06.500 I did the forward to, and I actually read it.

00:41:10.580 I've never done that.

00:41:11.420 I read the forward and endorsed this because this is your story.

00:41:18.460 You are the ones that made the 17,000 Americans that were saved in Afghanistan.

00:41:26.600 You're the ones that made it possible, and he talks about it.

00:41:29.900 This is Chad Robichaux's new book.

00:41:32.120 He talks about that.

00:41:33.220 He talks about you.

00:41:34.460 We gave him the Bonhoeffer Angel Award, what, last year at the last fundraiser.

00:41:43.720 He's an amazing guy, and this book is going to lift your spirit.

00:41:50.120 It is.

00:41:51.000 Please read it.

00:41:51.920 You can find it at savingaziz.org.

00:41:55.880 Savingaziz.org.

00:41:57.020 You can also get it wherever books are sold.

00:41:58.960 Phenomenal book.

00:42:00.200 Don't miss this one.

00:42:01.360 Getting high praise from some incredible authors, and you'll see them on the book.

00:42:07.420 It will pull you in from page one.

00:42:10.560 If you get the audio book, you'll hear my portion of the book read by me, savingaziz.org.

00:42:16.020 We have no room to compromise.

00:42:35.560 We gotta stand together, it's the course of life.

00:42:41.600 Stand up, stand, and hold the lines.

00:42:44.580 What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:43:00.220 This is the Glenn Beck Program. 1.00

00:43:03.740 Hello, you sick, twisted freak. 1.00

00:43:06.000 Welcome to it. 1.00

00:43:07.820 The World Economic Forum, which has absolutely no power, is not trying to control your life.

00:43:15.640 They're not infiltrating, you know, cabinets of prime ministers and presidents all around the world.

00:43:22.920 Although they've said all of those things.

00:43:24.920 Those are not true.

00:43:26.560 The AP wants you to know that's not true.

00:43:29.700 In fact, the World Economic Forum, the managing director last August, said this whole conspiracy of us trying to make sure that nobody has anything started as a screenshot called from the internet by an anonymous anti-Semitic account on the image boards of 4chan.

00:43:50.980 Own nothing, own nothing, own nothing, you'll be happy.

00:43:53.840 That was the Jew World Order 2030, said the Post, and that's, all the extremists picked that up.

00:44:00.280 That's weird because, um, that's not true.

00:44:04.180 But that's from the World Economic Forum.

00:44:06.720 The guy who brought this to my attention was Michael Schellenberger.

00:44:12.180 He's, um, he calls it a grift and a cult.

00:44:18.040 We're going to talk to him in 60 seconds.

00:44:21.500 One of the hardest lessons in life is that stability is a luxury in this world.

00:44:27.280 It's not always there for the enjoying, and I think you know that right now.

00:44:30.920 Wheels kind of coming off of the cart right now.

00:44:33.920 Please, I urge you to prepare yourself for impact.

00:44:38.740 Hopefully, it won't happen.

00:44:40.740 Hopefully, we'll turn this ship around.

00:44:42.940 But, um, I don't know.

00:44:45.480 If the lifeboats were available, I think you should get on it.

00:44:51.160 We've just hit an iceberg.

00:44:53.460 But who knows what will happen.

00:44:56.020 All I know is when they're gone, they're gone.

00:44:58.700 When the lifeboats have sailed, it's too late.

00:45:01.800 But you'll never regret this decision.

00:45:06.580 Prepare yourself.

00:45:07.960 Go to preparewithglenn.com.

00:45:10.180 You will save $200 on a three-month emergency food kit.

00:45:13.900 While you can, everyone, everyone should have a three-month emergency food kit.

00:45:19.340 I think even the Department of Homeland Security says that.

00:45:22.040 Every American should have that.

00:45:23.840 Please, they arrive in unmarked boxes.

00:45:25.840 Nobody knows that you have extra food.

00:45:28.520 They ship fast and free.

00:45:30.540 And you can save $200 now on the three-month emergency food kit.

00:45:35.440 Preparewithglenn.com.

00:45:37.800 Preparewithglenn.com.

00:45:40.140 Michael Schellenberger.

00:45:42.280 You're growing into one of my favorite people on the planet, Michael.

00:45:46.900 Oh, thanks so much, man.

00:45:48.660 Good to be with you, Glenn.

00:45:49.380 Yeah, I read your takedown or your observations of the World Economic Forum.

00:45:59.360 They are coming out today and saying misinformation is one of the things they have to tackle.

00:46:05.420 I think it was number five on their list of most dangerous threats was misinformation.

00:46:10.680 And they're claiming people like you, people like me, are just nothing but misinformation or disinformation agents about the WEF.

00:46:25.640 Well, yeah.

00:46:26.500 I mean, you know there's been just dozens, I mean hundreds of articles saying there's these conspiracy theories about this thing called the World Economic Forum.

00:46:37.740 The conspiracy theories claim that the World Economic Forum wants a great reset, that they want you to eat insects rather than meat, and that they don't want you to own anything or have any privacy, and that you'll be happier if you do that.

00:46:53.040 Okay, those are all supposedly conspiracy theories.

00:46:55.260 Well, my colleague, Isabella Kaminska, who actually used to work at Financial Times, which is a great fan of the World Economic Forum, and she'd been investigating them for almost a decade, and I both just published a piece where all of those things are not only true, the great reset insects as the new meat and owning nothing and having no privacy, those are not only true things.

00:47:20.060 They're actually from the World Economic Forum's Davos Summit itself, and from the website.

00:47:26.060 They say they want transparency, but they've actually deleted a number of those things.

00:47:31.900 They say they want more, they want to know our financial information.

00:47:37.180 Okay, that's like part of what gets promoted at these conferences.

00:47:39.820 Like, we should know what's in your bank account, and we should probably be able to control it, too, as we saw in Canada with the truckers.

00:47:46.960 That comes in handy if you're trying to, you know, move away from a democratic system to an authoritarian one.

00:47:54.760 So, they want that, too, but then when we say, well, how do you invest your money, they wouldn't tell us.

00:48:00.940 Right.

00:48:01.140 And they just said, Swiss law means we don't have to tell you.

00:48:04.300 Well, sure, Swiss law says that.

00:48:06.160 Are you familiar with Switzerland's banking laws?

00:48:08.700 Yes, I think, well, maybe Klausch might not have, but I think his father was clear about the Swiss banking laws.

00:48:18.400 Like, you know, his father ran a Swiss company in Germany during World War II, during the Holocaust.

00:48:26.660 Historians who have looked into this said that, indeed, he did use forced labor, you know, Jewish labor during the Holocaust, during World War II.

00:48:39.300 That's not actually in question. 0.65

00:48:42.760 He is a very creepy person.

00:48:47.780 And so, the natural sense, I mean, I think it's okay to say that, because I'm using it in a technical sense.

00:48:56.140 The creepy feeling you get from Klaus Schwab is accurate.

00:49:00.040 Yes.

00:49:00.740 The basic picture of World Economic Forum as a creepy event is accurate.

00:49:05.740 Well, his father believed in public-private partnerships, which is fascism.

00:49:11.160 That's the definition of fascism.

00:49:13.920 You own the company, but the country, the authoritarian leadership, tells you exactly what you're going to make, when you're going to make it, how to do it, and you get to keep your country.

00:49:26.640 It's exactly what's happening in China.

00:49:28.560 That's not communism.

00:49:29.820 That's more fascistic in nature, the way they run their businesses over there.

00:49:36.840 He was a fan of it.

00:49:39.640 Klaus is still a fan of it.

00:49:41.960 That, I mean, forget about the Holocaust for a second, but that's the basis of what Germany was going for on the economic front.

00:49:52.160 Correct?

00:49:52.840 Of course.

00:49:54.160 Yes.

00:49:54.940 I mean, that's what every school child learns.

00:49:58.340 I mean, it's almost a kind of, it's a kind of thuggery. 0.60

00:50:03.280 It's a kind of mob rule by these con artists.

00:50:11.160 I mean, look, your intuitive intuition against eating bugs is correct. 0.58

00:50:16.540 There's all sorts of parasites in these bugs.

00:50:20.520 It's obviously not a human custom.

00:50:24.560 You know, my wife is Korean-American, and I spent much time in Korea, and her parents said they ate bugs.

00:50:31.280 And I ate some bugs in Korea.

00:50:33.520 It's a little bit of a novelty.

00:50:36.040 Some people like it.

00:50:36.980 Most people don't.

00:50:38.240 Most Koreans like to eat beef.

00:50:40.660 And when my wife asked her father about the insect eating, he said, you know, we were poor and starving, you know, during the war. 0.55

00:50:47.600 So insect eating, the idea that insect eating is sort of something that noble Asians and Africans do is nonsense.

00:50:57.260 And so it really does come out, and they say it very clearly in promoting insect eating, that they don't want you to eat meat.

00:51:04.100 So then if you go and report that, what it is, they come out and say that it's a conspiracy theory.

00:51:10.360 But when you go check on their own website, that's what they say.

00:51:14.040 And it's basically all the things that you've been writing about.

00:51:16.380 I mean, I think ultimately you and Russell Brand and the other major critics of the World Economic Forum are proven correct in what we discovered.

00:51:26.680 And not only that, but I think it's going to ultimately destroy the organization.

00:51:31.580 Most world leaders, I think in part because of this heavy backlash against World Economic Forum, did not go.

00:51:38.880 Only the German chancellor went, and he has to go to every one of these events to suck up to world leaders and other people and sheiks and stuff because he needs oil and gas. 0.97

00:51:47.500 But other world leaders don't want to go because they know it's bad for their PR.

00:51:52.620 They know it hurts their image.

00:51:54.020 And you saw Elon Musk responded to me on Twitter, you know, saying, yeah, it seems like it, you know, while everybody would support dialogue, it's a creepy event.

00:52:04.740 But didn't he just say it seemed boring?

00:52:07.640 I thought that was an odd statement for him to make.

00:52:10.340 He's smarter than that.

00:52:12.820 I mean, sure.

00:52:14.220 You know, I mean, I think, look, I think part of the thing we discovered as well is that this is also how they rip you off.

00:52:20.940 This is the grift part of it is that when you and I buy, you know, stocks or people have pensions and retirement funds that are buying stocks, they're not getting the early stock or the early investment money.

00:52:35.160 That's the stuff that gets traded at Davos.

00:52:38.660 So in the front house, they talk about we love the environment and racial equality.

00:52:43.640 That's the main story.

00:52:45.120 And then behind the scenes, they're just doing grifty type deals.

00:52:50.060 And we're seeing it bust on people.

00:52:51.940 A lot of people got into crypto.

00:52:53.160 A lot of money got lost.

00:52:54.880 You know, it wasn't a real asset.

00:52:56.120 You know, and so for me, I think for Izzy and me, that's my co-author on this, we were like, well, what is the right thing to say?

00:53:05.660 Is it a grift?

00:53:07.160 Yes.

00:53:07.580 Is it a cult around this kind of creepy dude, Klaus Schwab?

00:53:13.360 Yes.

00:53:13.740 But it is also a bid for global domination in the sense that they want to take hold of the economy, and they're doing that.

00:53:21.660 I mean, the energy economy at this point in Europe and heavily in the United States is overwhelmingly controlled by governments because they put so many subsidies in it that they're basically controlling.

00:53:31.060 And now because they've made electricity unreliable in the United States, they're going to have to create yet another set of subsidies just to pay somebody to try to keep power plants operating when the sun is not shining, the wind is not blowing.

00:53:42.640 So it is making progress.

00:53:45.260 Klaus Schwab is sick.

00:53:47.040 It may be that in the future, because you and Russell have so demonized the World Economic Forum so successfully, it may be like something else.

00:53:56.140 But definitely global elites are constantly trying to take advantage of ordinary retirement-holding citizens with their stocks and bonds and whatever.

00:54:12.640 You know, 18th century economies.

00:54:15.780 Yes.

00:54:16.620 Kind of an ideology behind it.

00:54:18.940 We've talked about it before.

00:54:20.100 It's malthus. 0.94

00:54:21.080 It's low energy living.

00:54:22.420 You should be basically, the idea is basically you should be poorer.

00:54:26.040 Yes.

00:54:26.580 That's the idea.

00:54:27.380 Right.

00:54:27.680 Eat insects.

00:54:28.200 Don't eat meat.

00:54:29.300 Don't own anything.

00:54:31.140 Don't have any privacy.

00:54:32.940 This is...

00:54:33.780 It's pretty terrible.

00:54:34.880 It's gone back to serfdom. 0.81

00:54:36.640 That is, you don't own anything, because the king owns it, or one of his lords.

00:54:42.440 You're not going to invent anything, because you don't get anything from it.

00:54:46.180 You're not going to improve your life, because you can't.

00:54:48.640 You can't improve your station ever, because you can't own anything.

00:54:54.300 I mean, it's right back to the feudal system.

00:54:58.900 In the meeting, Klaus Schwab opened up yesterday, and he said, we have to master the future.

00:55:07.320 And what he was talking about was there are so many crises that are going on right now that they have to master them and use them to push us into this new world.

00:55:22.340 That's the only thing that...

00:55:24.560 I mean, if we had time on our side, I would think that we are going to beat them.

00:55:30.580 But I think this is going to be a photo finish at the wire on who wins on this if people don't wake up to...

00:55:39.940 Their tentacles are everywhere.

00:55:42.620 And when you have a crisis, and they're creating all of these crises, when you have a crisis of food, when you have a crisis of money,

00:55:52.340 people will just reach out for whoever is going to say, I have the solution.

00:55:59.980 Well, yeah, absolutely.

00:56:01.640 I mean, I think the one thing that's proven, that you've proven, and Russell Brand have proven, and others have proven,

00:56:07.580 is that World Economic Forum, when you actually learn what it's promoting, is wildly unpopular.

00:56:12.540 That's why the change in the media environment, you know, and it starts, of course, with radio, but the internet really takes it to another level,

00:56:21.600 means that the old regime struggles constantly.

00:56:26.100 So why are they always talking about disinformation?

00:56:28.900 It's because people like us are out here explaining that actually, that is what they want.

00:56:35.100 They want the bugs, the not owning anything, and a move to low energy living.

00:56:41.240 Great Reset, remember, was always just like, we're going to stop using fossil fuels and nuclear and reliable energy,

00:56:47.900 and we're going to use unreliable solar and wind, and only whenever that is possible because of the weather.

00:56:54.540 That was what the Great Reset was.

00:56:56.300 And fundamentally, the organization is about what they call sustainability, what I think we would call basically making everybody much poorer,

00:57:06.680 you know, returning to a kind of a miseration that we had before the Industrial Revolution,

00:57:12.780 before we had reliable energy sources and energy-dense fuels.

00:57:17.520 So, yeah, it's a pretty, and all I can say is that you're right, I totally agree.

00:57:22.380 In other words, there's a fight going on between those of us that think that individuals and families and nations should be able to determine their own identity

00:57:33.960 and a group of other people that think it should be worked out by the supposedly smart elites, yeah,

00:57:41.080 working out of think tanks and UN meetings and business conferences.

00:57:45.420 And, you know, Elon, you know, he's a complicated person, and I've gotten to know him a little bit,

00:57:49.840 but, I mean, what I would say is I think he's seen the dark side of that hyper-woke-ism,

00:57:55.860 and his purchase of Twitter is maybe the most significant thing he's done because he's basically said

00:58:01.960 ordinary people should be on an equal platform to communicate as elites,

00:58:06.460 and we should stop censoring ordinary folks because the elites demand it.

00:58:12.680 Michael Schellenberger, thank you for everything that you do.

00:58:16.200 Appreciate it. Always great to have you on. God bless.

00:58:18.900 Great to be with you, Glenn. Thanks so much.

00:58:20.680 Michael Schellenberger, he is the author of San Francisco.

00:58:24.660 If you haven't read his work, he's not a conservative.

00:58:28.760 He's just common sense and was at one point the friend of the earth from Time magazine.

00:58:37.920 He was like on the cover of Time magazine as the, you know, the best climate justice kind of guy.

00:58:45.480 Nope. Nope. Not so much.

00:58:47.460 He doesn't agree with any of the stuff that is going on right now.

00:58:50.540 He thinks it is a grift, and good to have him check in on the World Economic Forum.

00:58:55.640 All right. Back in just a second.

00:58:57.900 First, let me tell you about relief factor.

00:58:59.540 I'm guessing that nobody asked you for permission to saddle you with a bunch of pain, yet here you are dealing with it day in, day out.

00:59:08.020 And if you're like me, living with pain in your life is like walking uphill in 10 feet of snow to school both ways in the dark.

00:59:17.320 Right? Right? Am I right?

00:59:19.520 Yeah, that's the way I used to do it when I was going to school.

00:59:22.000 Anyway, the lowest point comes, at least in my life, when the pain I was living in was just consuming everything.

00:59:31.760 My every thought, I was, you know, I can't do that.

00:59:33.900 I can't do that.

00:59:34.980 I just have to get back home.

00:59:37.640 It's horrible.

00:59:39.180 I tried relief factor because my wife made me try it. 1.00

00:59:42.740 She's like, I'm not going to listen to you whining if you don't try everything.

00:59:45.020 And I'm like, it's natural.

00:59:46.420 It's not going to work better living through pharmaceuticals.

00:59:49.940 This actually changed my life.

00:59:52.440 Three week quick start.

00:59:53.840 1995.

00:59:54.760 It's a trial pack.

00:59:55.760 That's what my wife said.

00:59:56.960 Just try it for three weeks.

00:59:58.660 What do you have to lose?

01:00:00.240 Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered relief factor.

01:00:02.900 70% of them go on to order more.

01:00:05.000 I'm one of them.

01:00:06.340 Relieffactor.com.

01:00:07.620 800.

01:00:08.180 The number four relief.

01:00:09.280 1995.

01:00:10.040 Three week quick start.

01:00:11.660 Relieffactor.com.

01:00:12.780 800.

01:00:13.300 The number four relief.

01:00:15.100 Relieffactor.com.

01:00:16.420 Feel the difference.

01:00:18.320 10 seconds.

01:00:19.020 Station ID.

01:00:29.580 By the way, those that are going, Joe Biden isn't going, but he had to sing happy birthday.

01:00:35.900 Do we have to have the happy birthday?

01:00:37.660 He did this for Martin Luther King's, I think, granddaughter.

01:00:42.820 And it was beautiful.

01:00:44.380 Listen, here it is.

01:00:45.100 Well, look, my wife has a rule in her family. 1.00

01:00:47.340 Uh-huh.

01:00:47.900 When somebody's birthday, they sing happy birthday.

01:00:49.760 You ready?

01:00:50.320 Yeah.

01:00:50.820 Happy birthday to you.

01:00:54.620 Happy birthday to you.

01:00:58.040 Happy birthday, dear.

01:01:02.000 Happy birthday to you.

01:01:04.640 I love, you know, my wife has a rule when you sing happy birthday, especially if you're 1.00

01:01:09.880 leading, you should know the person's name.

01:01:12.420 But that's just a custom in our house.

01:01:14.360 Or be smart enough to, like, step off from the mic as you're singing the part of the song.

01:01:18.780 Have a coughing fit.

01:01:19.580 Yeah.

01:01:19.860 Right about that time.

01:01:21.080 It happens to him all the time.

01:01:22.420 Yeah.

01:01:22.500 Everyone would have believed it.

01:01:23.500 Yep.

01:01:23.840 Okay.

01:01:24.100 Anyway, he's not going to be at the World Economic Forum, but the climate czar, John

01:01:30.040 Kerry is there, Biden's trade representative, Biden's secretary of labor, the FBI head, Christopher

01:01:37.340 Wray, U.S.

01:01:38.560 Director of National Intelligence.

01:01:40.980 Samantha Power is there, U.S. 0.94

01:02:12.000 It's great.

01:02:12.620 No, it's fantastic.

01:02:13.720 It is fantastic.

01:02:15.800 Let's see, what else is going on?

01:02:18.120 Oh, you know, I think it's about time that we have the conversation about the hate monger,

01:02:25.020 Mr. Rogers, okay?

01:02:26.820 We have to have that conversation.

01:02:28.620 It's time.

01:02:29.340 This has been floating around for a while, and it's time.

01:02:32.880 I mean, now it's starting to really break in, and everybody is seeing it.

01:02:36.840 Can we play this hateful clip warning, trigger warning here?

01:02:40.040 Boys are boys from the beginning.

01:02:44.440 If you were born a boy, you stay a boy. 0.98

01:02:47.480 Girls are girls right from the start. 1.00

01:02:50.920 If you were born a girl, you stay a girl and grow up to be a lady. 1.00

01:02:55.800 Only girls can be the mommies. 1.00

01:02:59.080 Oh, only girls can. 1.00

01:03:00.760 Only boys can be the daddies. 0.94

01:03:05.080 How dare he? 0.99

01:03:06.620 I mean, we ought to dig that guy up and just beat the snot out of him. 1.00

01:03:13.680 You know what I mean? 0.96

01:03:14.680 It used to be, like, okay, because everyone knew it was true, and, like, everyone could

01:03:19.500 say it.

01:03:20.020 Isn't that weird?

01:03:20.500 There was a time.

01:03:21.080 I think everybody still knows it's true.

01:03:23.160 I do, too.

01:03:23.580 But they're just afraid to say it.

01:03:25.280 Uh-huh.

01:03:25.940 Are you afraid to say it?

01:03:26.880 I'm not.

01:03:27.340 I'm afraid to say it.

01:03:28.060 But only girls can be mommies. 1.00

01:03:31.280 Mm-hmm.

01:03:32.180 I'm really willing to say it.

01:03:34.980 The way he said it was mummies, which I think boys can be mummies.

01:03:38.300 Yeah.

01:03:38.680 Right.

01:03:39.780 I think he meant mommies, but kind of said it in an English sort of way for some unknown

01:03:45.740 reason.

01:05:12.760 So I want to play something for you, and believe it or not, I have a very deep point

01:05:26.980 on this.

01:05:27.780 It's not just to, it's not, certainly not to make fun of Chelsea Handler.

01:05:32.060 It is to remind people, you should stop listening to people like this.

01:05:36.080 This is my first point, but this is not the deep point. 1.00

01:05:38.620 She's a moron. 0.99

01:05:39.660 She was on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, and she told a story that she made an admission 1.00

01:05:48.900 that she really didn't understand something.

01:05:51.480 And if you don't understand this, what else don't you understand?

01:05:55.720 This is a pretty basic thing.

01:05:58.020 And this is coming from a woman who has lectured us, morally and intellectually, our superior 0.92

01:06:04.760 on, you know, how to live our lives.

01:06:08.300 Listen to this admission on Jimmy Fallon.

01:06:10.580 I didn't know, and this is true, I didn't know until I was 40 years old that the sun and

01:06:16.240 the moon were not the same thing.

01:06:19.220 I find it's hard to believe, but what are you talking about?

01:06:21.440 It was, I was shocking to me as well.

01:06:24.560 I mean...

01:06:25.240 Well, of course, it must have been more shocking to you.

01:06:27.140 I was like, I was in Africa, we were on safari, my sister and I were riding an elephant,

01:06:32.000 and there was a man riding an elephant for us, because we don't know how to ride an elephant.

01:06:36.440 Yeah.

01:06:36.740 And my older sister Simone looked up at the sky, and she said, Chelsea, Chelsea, look up.

01:06:42.100 It's not often you get to see the sun and the moon at the same time.

01:06:47.160 Yeah.

01:06:50.380 And I was like, looking, I was like Scooby-Doo.

01:06:52.820 I'm like...

01:06:53.280 I said it, I go, wait, I go, but they're always together.

01:06:57.340 And as soon as I said that, she turned around, she goes, what did you say? 0.99

01:07:00.000 And I was like, oh, shut up, shut up, shut up. 0.98

01:07:02.460 I was like, I'm like, I knew what I said was wrong. 1.00

01:07:04.660 Giddy up, elephant.

01:07:06.460 I was like, let's canter, is that what an elephant does?

01:07:08.940 Oh my God.

01:07:09.500 And she looked at me, she goes, I need you, and I just tried to gloss over it.

01:07:14.100 I was like, never mind what I said, I know.

01:07:16.620 And she said, no, I need you to tell me what you think is happening between the sun and the moon.

01:07:25.060 And I was like, honestly, I just assumed when the sun went down, it popped back up as the moon, you know?

01:07:31.720 A little costume change.

01:07:34.340 Like, is that not what's happening?

01:07:35.720 The man riding the elephant spoke no English and went... 1.00

01:07:38.720 And he's just like another dumb American, you know? 1.00

01:07:43.060 Yeah. 1.00

01:07:43.820 Yeah.

01:07:44.360 Absolutely true.

01:07:45.600 Okay.

01:07:45.820 Stop listening to these people. 1.00

01:07:50.980 They're morons. 1.00

01:07:51.840 They're morons. 1.00

01:07:53.900 Because, you know, look, I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer either, but that's pretty darn basic. 1.00

01:08:02.080 Pretty darn basic.

01:08:05.700 Wow.

01:08:06.660 Okay.

01:08:07.000 So she's, what, 47 years old?

01:08:09.260 She's almost 50 years old.

01:08:11.020 The mentality of these elites that they are so morally and intellectually superior and that, you know, everything is old fashioned.

01:08:23.760 And, you know, you need to learn.

01:08:27.280 It's more important than facts to learn the new facts that are cool.

01:08:33.820 You know, men are, men are able to have babies.

01:08:39.080 No, they're...

01:08:39.880 No, they're...

01:08:40.580 No.

01:08:46.660 My problem in doing this show is I am...

01:08:49.580 Speechless for the first time in your life?

01:08:55.160 That's about what it sounds like.

01:08:56.700 Yeah.

01:08:57.360 Um...

01:08:57.920 Because I'm...

01:08:58.700 I'm very transparent with my life.

01:09:09.420 And this is coming from someplace else that is happening in my life.

01:09:16.840 And let me just say this to you.

01:09:19.700 Our children have no idea that we...

01:09:24.540 No.

01:09:25.740 Parents, you have no idea how confused and lost your children really are.

01:09:34.420 It might seem like they get it, but Chelsea Handler is... 1.00

01:09:41.040 I mean, she is...

01:09:43.860 She's a genius in today's world.

01:09:48.560 They're not learning the things that they need to learn.

01:09:52.060 And they're learning all of these things that are really horrible, that are counter to everything that is an eternal truth.

01:10:02.580 Let me give you another story here today.

01:10:05.700 And I don't know if anybody can see where I'm going when I make this connection.

01:10:11.500 But this is a story out of England.

01:10:17.060 And it is a story about how Satanism is becoming very popular.

01:10:23.520 And...

01:10:24.320 But there's no blood rituals anymore.

01:10:28.060 There's no murder.

01:10:29.400 There's no sacrifice.

01:10:30.980 There's no blood rights to Satan.

01:10:33.140 We don't worship the devil.

01:10:34.880 We don't cast magic spells, says the leader of the Satanic Temple in England.

01:10:44.340 Okay?

01:10:46.420 He said, yeah, we do occult rituals.

01:10:50.780 And, you know, there's no virgin sacrifices or chalices of blood.

01:10:55.000 And we don't believe in the actual devil or Satan.

01:10:58.740 That's a thing of the past.

01:10:59.980 Satanism is luring to young people now because everything in religion is outdated and dogmatic and traditional.

01:11:13.040 And you're told that you have to offer yourself.

01:11:18.860 You have to change your ways.

01:11:21.440 The Sunday Telegraph, I'm reading, spoken to leaders of members of the Satanic groups around the world who claim that the opportunities Satanism offers people to engage in activism and they campaign on issues such as gender sexuality is part of the appeal for younger members, particularly those who are less likely to declare themselves Christian.

01:11:49.100 Christian, the guy who runs the global order of Satan, UK, he's an undertaker for a job. 0.88

01:12:03.540 He says he has a 200% increase in membership over the last five years.

01:12:08.520 He said, I wish I could claim that we could pat ourselves on the back and say, yeah, we've done our internal work here.

01:12:14.440 I'm quoting we're successfully declining the number of Christians, but it's more complex than that. 1.00

01:12:20.800 He said two factors are responsible.

01:12:22.780 The decreasing popularity of traditional dogmatic religions and a movement towards self-identification and self-realization.

01:12:32.240 He said this amongst younger people, they don't want to be identified as part of a prescriptive dogmatic religion.

01:12:39.380 Instead, they want to identify with their own self-belief and their own self-realization, which is what Satanism offers.

01:12:49.480 They are now turning away, he says, from incredibly outdated, very obviously stuffy views that are completely not in keeping with modern times.

01:13:04.220 You know what?

01:13:06.480 He's absolutely right.

01:13:09.100 He's absolutely right.

01:13:10.600 Those stuffy religious ideas that come from the Bible, they are not in line with contemporary ideas and contemporary living.

01:13:26.080 And if you want an easy life where you will be accepted and things are going to be really peachy and swell for you for a while, and I emphasize for a while, as an alcoholic, I know how things, how taking the easy route and just not dealing with stuff, not dealing with reality, just have a drink.

01:13:52.800 Like, you'll be, that'll all go away, you won't have to worry about it, for a while, and then it all comes crashing down on your head.

01:14:04.280 If you, if you, uh, we don't know what our kids are faced with.

01:14:13.640 We have no idea.

01:14:15.580 I would not want to be one.

01:14:19.420 I would not want to be a kid in today's world.

01:14:23.920 They are confused and they are being confused intentionally.

01:14:30.920 Social media and the phone that they all look at 24 hours a day is the enemy in their pocket.

01:14:40.720 It is also part of their life now.

01:14:45.980 And we are going to get to a point to where I swear to God, I'm going to be driving a buggy soon.

01:14:52.580 I am.

01:14:53.840 I mean, you, we are not going to be able to protect our families in this society.

01:15:02.120 And, uh, Christians, it's going to get really hard to be a Christian when say Satanists can say, oh, we're not, we're not really, I mean, we're not really Satanists.

01:15:19.120 I mean, you know, Satanism is a young person's religion, you know, uh, and it's just a diversification.

01:15:28.360 That's it.

01:15:29.200 That's all it is.

01:15:30.140 And we just explore, um, you know, your identity, your interest, your values, your beliefs.

01:15:38.200 Oh, okay.

01:15:41.420 And they say that we're, you know, Satan is just more metaphorical, you know, he's just the rebel.

01:15:48.740 That's all he is.

01:15:51.140 Um, we don't believe in a higher power.

01:15:53.780 Instead, we revolve around a religion of the self.

01:15:58.120 Think of that in today's society.

01:16:00.740 Forget it.

01:16:01.260 What came from him, a religion of the self.

01:16:05.660 And it's up to individuals to define their own moral code and their, and to develop themselves as their own Godhead.

01:16:17.180 Sure.

01:16:17.700 We get around, you know, we get together, do rituals in the forest and stuff, you know, uh, and, you know, we have a community bonding and meditation to give people the time to develop your own personal vision of yourself as Satan.

01:16:33.500 But we don't mean, but we don't mean that literally.

01:16:42.500 I, I, I, um, I want you to write to me and tell me how I can help you as a parent.

01:16:50.980 Because as a parent, uh, my kids are, and I'm not Satanist and stuff like that, but, um, my kids are, are so lost right now.

01:17:07.880 And Tanya and I would just feel like we are just, uh, uh, losers.

01:17:16.800 We just feel like, wow, wow.

01:17:20.640 All of that work for decades and none of it took.

01:17:25.440 And, uh, we know that's not true.

01:17:29.060 Um, but I cannot be the only person feeling that way.

01:17:34.200 And I am out of answers in my own life many times.

01:17:41.600 Um, but we are, thank God, uh, mom and dad are on the same page and we love each other and we have a very loving family.

01:17:50.120 So we are able to, uh, keep our head above water, but it is difficult because no one has faced these problems before.

01:18:01.040 We did an experiment on our children and it's going awry.

01:18:06.820 We just gave our kids, do you know, do you know what failure to launch is?

01:18:12.000 You know what that is, right?

01:18:12.980 Failure to launch when people are still living at their house, you know, mom and dad's house and they haven't launched their own life.

01:18:19.120 Do you know what, uh, psychiatrists have now?

01:18:23.140 They've just moved the age up.

01:18:25.940 Do you know what the age is now?

01:18:30.340 37.

01:18:32.900 37.

01:18:35.740 Failure to launch.

01:18:38.580 Okay.

01:18:39.360 That it's, that it's, it's only a problem when you hit 37.

01:18:42.560 At 37, it's like, okay, there's a real issue.

01:18:46.240 37.

01:18:46.800 37.

01:18:48.460 Our kids are, they are so confused.

01:18:52.820 They don't know what is up.

01:18:55.760 They don't know what is down.

01:18:57.680 They are so in a bubble that they have absolutely no tolerance to any kind of stress.

01:19:05.440 And I'm telling you, stress is coming.

01:19:08.200 Stress is coming.

01:19:10.440 Let me know how we can help you, please.

01:19:13.040 And we will do our best.

01:19:15.300 Back in just a minute, Sharon wrote in about her dog's experience with rough greens.

01:19:19.260 She says our, our pit bull Molly, by the way, the only reason why I bring up the Satan thing, God is the only answer.

01:19:25.900 God is the only answer. 0.91

01:19:28.260 Our pit bull Molly is a rescue, was in really rough shape when we adopted her. 0.65

01:19:34.040 She's had, I mean, she's had quality dog chow, but her coat still was really kind of nasty. 0.99

01:19:40.080 For several weeks now, we've put rough greens on her dog food and she smells better.

01:19:45.540 She's more energetic.

01:19:46.860 We're keeping with the rough greens for sure.

01:20:19.980 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:20:38.960 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:20:41.180 We're so glad that you're listening.

01:20:44.400 And, you know, I know I'm not alone in some of these concerns.

01:20:48.660 Stu and I were just talking about parenting today.

01:20:51.380 It is so hard because you don't know society has changed so much.

01:20:57.120 And it's almost, I mean, society doesn't know what's real and what's not.

01:21:01.620 And there's times where you're just like, suck it up.

01:21:05.560 You know, suck it up, buttercup. 1.00

01:21:07.300 And, you know, the things that now, you know, you're dealing with are things that you would have never thought you were going to deal with ever.

01:21:18.980 And society is pushing one way and you're like, okay, how do I hold the ground here when I'm absolutely alone?

01:21:31.880 How am I going to hold the ground here for our children and yet not do it in a way where society is going to pull them away from us even more because we believe certain things?

01:21:45.380 Do you know what I mean, Stu?

01:21:47.180 Does that make sense to you?

01:21:48.420 Yes.

01:21:49.380 It is.

01:21:50.620 I mean, being a parent today is so difficult.

01:21:56.400 So difficult.

01:21:57.840 And give yourself a break.

01:22:00.220 If you're, you know, if you're going through tough times, give yourself a little more benefit of the doubt.

01:22:07.900 These, this is really difficult to manage, but you got to be on it all the time because your family is a little island and it used to be you were safe.

01:22:22.060 But now with all of the devices and social media, everything that's going on, it's just pouring into your house.

01:22:28.940 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:22:52.060 What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:23:22.060 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:23:28.780 One, if not the favorite guest of mine on this program is in studio.

01:23:35.980 We always have a fascinating, historic geek fest.

01:23:42.160 And Brad Meltzer joins me for that geek fest in 60 seconds.

01:23:47.760 So David Neuhauser, he's the chief investment officer for Livermore Partners.

01:23:53.400 He said this week, you start to look around and think, where's the safest place for your investment in terms of assets?

01:23:59.920 The only place really to go as an alternative now is gold in terms of knowing that you're not going to see the debasement of your assets.

01:24:08.980 Honestly, can you trust land, even farmland?

01:24:14.040 I mean, is that going to go up?

01:24:16.040 Is it going to lose value?

01:24:18.140 Your house?

01:24:19.160 Because everything is so unstable right now, you have to look for something that thrives when instability is around.

01:24:29.000 This week, Goldline has two specials at goldline.com.

01:24:33.700 First, Goldline is offering 6% in free promotional medals with every qualified self-directed IRA acquisition that you would complete this month.

01:24:43.720 So if you do it, complete it this month, you get 6% of additional assets in to your self-directed IRA.

01:24:51.760 Did you know you can put gold in a retirement account like a traditional IRA or an old 401k, Roth, all of this.

01:25:01.000 Second, with the purchase of every gold legal tender bar, you will also receive at no additional cost 25 silver Mind Your Business bars for free.

01:25:11.960 That's 866-GOLD-LINE.

01:25:13.820 That's where you call and talk to somebody right now.

01:25:17.060 They're waiting for your call.

01:25:18.080 Just ask them for information, 866-GOLD-LINE or goldline.com.

01:25:25.220 Brad, it is a thrill to have you in studio.

01:25:29.240 Again, you have a new book out called The Nazi Conspiracy.

01:25:34.180 I had no idea this even had been planned.

01:25:39.300 The secret plot to kill Roosevelt, Stalin, and Churchill. 0.93

01:25:43.140 At the height of World War II, Nazis are planning to kill the big three.

01:25:47.880 I didn't know the story either.

01:25:48.920 How do you – I mean, how is this – you watch certain history channels and it's all World War II Nazi stuff.

01:25:56.200 I mean, you think you know everything.

01:25:57.900 I've never heard that.

01:25:59.420 And listen, I obviously watch those same shows.

01:26:01.620 I love World War II.

01:26:02.780 I never knew the story.

01:26:03.760 I don't think the internet is good for many things, but it's good for obscure historical stories.

01:26:08.640 And I found – scrolling through my feed, I found the story years ago.

01:26:12.840 It was a tiny mention, maybe a half-page page article.

01:26:15.740 I had barely any facts.

01:26:16.660 I'm like, you're telling me the Nazis tried to kill FDR, Stalin, and Churchill, the height of World War II, and you and I don't know about this story?

01:26:22.760 I'm like, I got to know.

01:26:23.720 And just to paint the picture, it's 1943.

01:26:27.660 It's the moment where Joseph Stalin wants us to invade the continental Europe. 0.63

01:26:33.220 He's getting decimated by the Nazis.

01:26:35.700 We, of course, the United Kingdom and the United States are sending munitions and weapons, but he's like, no, you need to invade.

01:26:42.060 Basically do what becomes the invasion of Normandy.

01:26:45.100 And FDR realizes we got to get the big three together.

01:26:48.600 We have to look each other in the eye, plan troop movements, plan supplies, plan morale, and millions of lives, Glenn, are at stake.

01:26:56.160 You know, this is it.

01:26:57.280 And really look each other in the eyes also.

01:26:59.560 You paint a great picture in the book of the moment the Japanese hit Pearl Harbor and what that was like in the White House.

01:27:08.440 And then you go overseas and what it was like with Churchill.

01:27:11.640 And he's having, I think it was dinner with the ambassador of the United States at the time.

01:27:16.440 And he finds out.

01:27:17.340 And what I love in that moment when you see Churchill, because we've all heard the story of Pearl Harbor.

01:27:21.980 We show you it a different way.

01:27:23.120 A totally different way.

01:27:24.260 In a way you've never seen before.

01:27:25.600 And what I love is in the moments after, we always tell the story in America that, you know, we punched the Nazis in the jaw.

01:27:32.280 We won, you know, we saved democracy for the world and that's the end.

01:27:36.160 And that's a beautiful story, but that's the Hollywood version.

01:27:38.940 It was much more complex and actually much more amazing for America to see what we had to do to get there.

01:27:43.620 And what I love is when Pearl Harbor happens, we, of course, declare war against the Japanese, but they'd say to Adolf Hitler, stay out of it. 0.87

01:27:53.520 His own advice is like, stay out of it.

01:27:55.340 Don't mess with America.

01:27:56.280 We don't need this now.

01:27:57.160 And Hitler slaps his leg, literally slaps his leg and says, this is great that it happened. 0.83

01:28:01.940 We're going to declare war on them because, you know, strong people declare war.

01:28:05.540 They don't wait to be declared war on.

01:28:07.160 And Winston Churchill remembers this quote he heard about the United States.

01:28:10.960 He says that the United States is like a gigantic boiler.

01:28:13.640 And once you light a fire under it, there is no limit to the amount of power it will produce.

01:28:18.740 And Winston Churchill is exactly right.

01:28:21.460 And we are on.

01:28:22.560 And this story, you know, as we're, as the big three are coming together.

01:28:27.400 Which Churchill doesn't trust Stalin.

01:28:29.780 No one trusts Stalin.

01:28:30.720 And FDR doesn't trust him at all because he was on the side of the Germans for a while.

01:28:35.700 He started the war on the side of the Nazis.

01:28:38.700 The only reason he comes to our side is because Hitler invades. 0.97

01:28:41.340 And he's like, oh, you're going to invade us?

01:28:43.000 I'll be on the Allies side now.

01:28:44.580 You know, he's not a good person.

01:28:46.380 And, you know, we've done books on, we did the secret plot to kill George Washington.

01:28:50.880 And we did George Washington.

01:28:52.440 We did the Lincoln conspiracy about the secret plot to kill Abraham Lincoln. 0.50

01:28:56.360 The first plot, not the John Wilkes Booth plot.

01:28:58.140 And when I look at what makes a good president, it's not the person that makes the best promises.

01:29:03.640 It's not the person that makes the best speeches.

01:29:05.380 It's the person who, when a disaster strikes, can pivot and deal with that disaster and be the right person for that right moment in time.

01:29:13.320 And FDR in that moment, whenever anyone thinks of his politics, he has one belief in himself, and it's his ability to charm.

01:29:21.480 And he's like, I'm going to charm Stalin because I know Stalin likes me better than you, Churchill.

01:29:25.620 Right?

01:29:26.540 And he knows that Churchill, of course, prefers him to Stalin.

01:29:29.920 And FDR is the right guy.

01:29:31.940 He brings these three together.

01:29:34.100 And Tehran, Iran, of all places.

01:29:36.740 Which, again, I was like, how did I not know this?

01:29:39.600 And in Tehran, what's so wild is—

01:29:42.240 Well, you knew that they were there.

01:29:43.580 I know the Tehran conference, but I know that the assassination plot took place there. 0.73

01:29:47.020 But so here comes FDR, flies across the globe.

01:29:52.340 This is the big meeting.

01:29:53.260 Millions of lives truly at stake.

01:29:55.080 This meeting must take place of the big three.

01:29:57.660 And he comes to town, and the motorcade is moving through the center of the city, and everyone's craning their neck because they want to see the president of the United States.

01:30:05.380 FDR is in town.

01:30:06.820 And they're waving at the motorcade.

01:30:08.620 President's waving back.

01:30:09.640 What none of them know is that that is not FDR in the motorcade.

01:30:13.480 That's just a Secret Service decoy.

01:30:15.720 The real president, the real FDR, is ducked down and hiding in the back of a beat-up sedan, racing through the side streets because they're worried that there's a Nazi assassin who's about to kill him.

01:30:27.940 I just ruined chapter one of the Nazi conspiracy for you, but that is chapter one.

01:30:31.840 It's so well done, too.

01:30:33.760 I mean, I was—honestly, because I love your novels.

01:30:37.880 Love your novels.

01:30:38.620 And when I found out that this was a Nazi—that this is a history book, I thought, okay, well, he's really good at history, but I really wanted a novel to escape. 0.84

01:30:48.460 I get into the first chapter, and it's over for me.

01:30:51.500 I'm just—I mean, you write it like a thriller.

01:30:54.540 Well, that's the thing is, you know, for me, you know, I love these stories, but I don't want to read an encyclopedia entry.

01:31:00.800 I don't want to read some boring things.

01:31:02.000 And we all know FDR, and we all know Winston Churchill, and we all know Joseph Stalin.

01:31:05.440 We know those names.

01:31:06.140 We grew up with those names.

01:31:07.760 What I love are the people you don't know in this book.

01:31:09.940 So there's a Nazi in there named Otto Skorzenny, and Otto Skorzenny gets the call from Adolf Hitler one day to come down to Adolf Hitler's secret headquarters, the Wolf's Lair.

01:31:20.880 And you know you're in trouble when the word Lair is in the title, right?

01:31:24.620 Yeah, right.

01:31:25.120 You know you're not going for a party.

01:31:26.520 Right.

01:31:26.720 And Adolf Hitler wants all of his best special operations fighters, which Otto Skorzenny is one of them. 0.88

01:31:33.120 He's a special ops guy.

01:31:34.100 He wants to find the toughest and strongest one.

01:31:36.440 And he lines up all the special op guys in this big room, shoulder to shoulder, and he gives them a quiz of one question.

01:31:42.900 What do you think of Italy, Adolf Hitler says.

01:31:45.720 And they all give these kind of macho answers saying, oh, you know, Italy's on our side.

01:31:49.880 We'll fight to the death with them.

01:31:51.060 You know, thank you for all this.

01:31:52.300 Otto Skorzenny, this one Nazi, shouts out above everybody else. 0.96

01:31:55.800 I am from Austria, my Fuhrer.

01:31:58.560 And he's gambling because he knows Adolf Hitler is from Austria.

01:32:01.620 And he also knows that a true Austrian forever resents Italy because in World War I, they took a key piece of Italy and of Austria and never gave it back. 0.89

01:32:11.340 So at that moment, Adolf Hitler turns to Otto Skorzenny and he's like, you're my guy.

01:32:17.780 You're my guy.

01:32:18.480 And he sends him on a secret mission.

01:32:19.840 We won't ruin this part of the book.

01:32:21.080 But he sends him on a secret mission that is so crazy and so wild that Josh mentioned, I'm a co-writer in the book, said that we need to put an actual photograph of this secret mission in the book.

01:32:31.180 Because people will not believe this really happened.

01:32:33.560 Nazis falling from the sky.

01:32:34.900 An 80% casualty rate is what they predict.

01:32:37.740 It is this amazing moment.

01:32:39.860 The end result of this secret mission earns Otto Skorzenny the nickname, the most dangerous man in Europe.

01:32:46.640 And this is the craziest Nazi story you've never heard in your life.

01:32:51.080 Why?

01:32:52.340 I know.

01:32:52.860 Well, and the thing is, is it doesn't even stop with him, right?

01:32:57.800 There's a guy in there named Franz Mayer.

01:33:00.480 So there's two Nazis that play a key role in this assassination plot. 0.55

01:33:03.360 And Franz Mayer is a guy who's on the ground in Tehran.

01:33:07.640 The truth is the Nazis think he's dead.

01:33:09.320 They think he's captured when the allies come there.

01:33:11.540 They're like, he's done.

01:33:12.720 But he's actually spent a couple years making, finding other people who love the Nazi cause.

01:33:18.680 He's got supplies.

01:33:20.000 He sends a message back to Berlin and says, I got a drop zone.

01:33:23.220 I got a safe place.

01:33:24.240 You can send me supplies and paratroopers.

01:33:26.040 Send me money.

01:33:26.860 And here's a secret code to put on the radio.

01:33:28.900 Like you and I talking, you're going to say a certain couple words together.

01:33:33.240 And I'm going to know you got my message.

01:33:35.020 And at that moment in time, the Nazis get the greatest thing that anyone can get in a fight, 0.94

01:33:40.640 which is an opportunity.

01:33:42.460 Because the big three are coming to town and they've got a guy on the inside on the ground in Tehran.

01:33:47.620 So you've got Franz Mayer on one side.

01:33:50.320 You've got Otto Skoset on another.

01:33:52.000 And Glenn, the best part is, is that Franz Mayer is not just there because he loves the Nazi cause.

01:33:59.160 He's in love.

01:34:00.640 It's the Nazi in love. 0.61

01:34:02.000 And he loves a local woman from a wealthy family.

01:34:05.140 He's sleeping with her.

01:34:06.820 What he doesn't know is she's sleeping with another guy who's an American GI.

01:34:10.500 So he's whispering secrets to her.

01:34:12.880 She's whispering the secrets back to us.

01:34:14.740 I couldn't make this up if I want.

01:34:16.620 My editor would be like, no one will believe this.

01:34:18.260 It all really happened all in World War II.

01:34:20.500 Anyone who loves history, I was like, this is the greatest story.

01:34:23.380 It's a great story.

01:34:24.080 And the thing that you realize is it could have changed the entire war, right?

01:34:29.480 It could have.

01:34:30.080 If the big three are assassinated at this moment in time, this is just the moment where the Nazis, 0.95

01:34:35.000 it's starting to go against them.

01:34:36.300 They really need a win.

01:34:38.200 And we have to remember, assassination was used as a weapon all the time back then.

01:34:42.280 So even when Admiral Yamamoto, one of the chief architects of Pearl Harbor, the United States,

01:34:50.200 we get information where he is, where he's going to fly.

01:34:52.660 And they go to FDR and they say, what do you want to do? 0.97

01:34:54.440 You want to kill him or not? 0.96

01:34:56.100 FDR knows, listen, if we kill him, they could retaliate against us. 0.99

01:34:59.200 They've retaliated against us before.

01:35:01.280 This is the main architect of Pearl Harbor.

01:35:03.800 And at that moment, FDR says, quote, get Yamamoto.

01:35:09.300 And we do.

01:35:10.140 We get him. 1.00

01:35:10.740 We kill him. 1.00

01:35:11.320 We know the stories of Hitler. 1.00

01:35:12.940 You know, they try and kill him in the Alps.

01:35:14.460 They try and kill him on a train. 0.88

01:35:16.080 The Nazis tried it. 0.90

01:35:17.120 They find out that Winston Churchill, they think, is on a commercial flight.

01:35:19.920 They shoot the flight out of the sky.

01:35:22.220 It's just a guy who looks like Winston Churchill.

01:35:23.880 They get the wrong guy.

01:35:25.160 So all through the war, assassination is being used.

01:35:28.260 When the big three come to Tehran, it's a tantalizing target for the Nazis. 0.89

01:35:34.180 And you have to ask yourself, why do I not know this story?

01:35:37.680 How do you and I, who obsess over this stuff, not know this story?

01:35:41.320 And it's because when Churchill comes back and FDR come back from the meeting,

01:35:47.140 FDR holds a big press conference at the White House.

01:35:50.100 And he says, yes, the meeting went really well.

01:35:53.080 We plan the, you know, he doesn't tell it, but he knows they plan the invasion of Normandy is coming now.

01:35:57.660 But he says, by the way, the Nazis tried to kill us.

01:36:01.740 The Secret Service is like, why did you say that?

01:36:03.360 How could you tell everyone?

01:36:04.120 You're not supposed to say anything.

01:36:04.780 It becomes a front page of every newspaper.

01:36:06.400 It's a big, giant story.

01:36:08.360 Again.

01:36:08.940 But guess what?

01:36:09.700 Guess what happened soon after that?

01:36:11.620 Normandy.

01:36:13.200 150,000 men stormed the beaches, a million more standing by in successive waves.

01:36:17.560 And then this story becomes a footnote in history and gets lost until nerds like me dig it up and show you, look at this moment that we all forgot.

01:36:26.840 It's almost like, do you remember when Rumsfeld on September 10th came out and said, like, there's $2 trillion of funding missing?

01:36:36.900 Do you remember this?

01:36:37.540 I don't even remember this.

01:36:38.480 Oh, this is amazing.

01:36:39.580 So the night before, because we had it on our show prep, remember, Stu?

01:36:44.960 We were going to talk about it.

01:36:46.360 Rumsfeld comes out and they had just done some audit of the Pentagon.

01:36:50.920 And he was like, this is worse than we thought.

01:36:55.360 And it was some staggering number.

01:36:58.640 It was like $1 or $2 trillion that they can't account for.

01:37:04.700 And then?

01:37:05.180 And we're going to get down to the bottom of it.

01:37:07.280 And the next morning.

01:37:08.460 Unbelievable.

01:37:09.100 It was just, it was a non-story because the next morning was 9-11.

01:37:12.840 Well, the thing is, is there's always, to me, lost history is the best history, right?

01:37:17.240 Because we know the stories that we hear and we tell over and over again.

01:37:19.900 And the story of World War II is not just, you know, an amazing battle where millions of lives are at stake.

01:37:25.660 It's also one of the few, maybe last times in the American government where we think that the government went in, we did the right thing, we saved the day for everyone, and everyone on every side of politics agrees.

01:37:38.040 That just doesn't, right?

01:37:39.040 World War II is not just an incident.

01:37:41.520 It's an ideal.

01:37:43.260 It's what makes America the best, right?

01:37:45.500 It's the moment where we stand up to evil.

01:37:47.160 And Josh and I, when we write these books, like when we did the Nazi conspiracy, we were like, okay, it's great to say that we have this amazing plot you've never heard of to kill FDR and Stalin and Churchill, but what's the book really about?

01:37:59.180 Like, what's it really about?

01:38:00.140 What is this, you know, you and I know, our love of history is not just that we love dates and facts and obscure stuff.

01:38:04.160 What we love, and you and I have been together a long time, decades now, is that it informs us about us today, right?

01:38:11.540 When history tells us who we are today, and one of the things I remember is when Charlottesville happened, when we saw, and not thrown, you know, when Nazis were marching in Charlottesville, I'm not talking about throwing around the word Nazi the way it's thrown around today, but truly Nazis are marching there, and we're all wringing our hands and going, how does this happen in America?

01:38:28.060 Why are we fighting Nazis in modern times?

01:38:32.400 One of the things I didn't know is, and you see it early in the book, is back in World War II, there was a rally in Madison Square Garden, 20,000 Nazis in the heart of New York City who cheer, and they have a big giant banner of George Washington surrounded by swastikas, and the first speaker of the day says, if George Washington were alive today, he'd be friends with Adolf Hitler.

01:38:53.580 Yep.

01:38:53.800 And, oh my gosh, I'm like, why are we fighting Nazis? They never left.

01:38:58.340 No, they never left.

01:38:58.860 World War II is not that long ago, and Frank is born the same year as Barbara Walters, and it's just not that long ago.

01:39:04.960 Think about that a moment, right?

01:39:06.540 It's not that long ago, and to me, the reason why we tell these stories is so, you know, to me, the American dream is not about just making money.

01:39:16.880 It's about when you see someone being bullied, when you see someone being picked on, you use your voice and you say, enough.

01:39:23.400 Yeah.

01:39:23.980 Enough.

01:39:24.440 And over and over in time, you know, we see it, you know, Adolf Hitler, what he does is he says, those people are the cause of your problems.

01:39:31.460 He goes to those Germans who are suffering economically, those people are the cause of your problems. 1.00

01:39:36.500 He means the Jewish people.

01:39:38.320 And all those Germans there, they believe him. 0.99

01:39:42.040 They take him at his word.

01:39:43.060 And listen, when someone says to me, you're the cause of my problem, I'm like, oh my gosh, I'm mad. 0.97

01:39:46.480 I hate those people.

01:39:47.240 Who are they? 0.99

01:39:47.680 What are they doing?

01:39:48.900 But we see it over and over through history, whether it's the black community, you see with, you know, the gay community, the immigrant community. 0.94

01:39:54.600 There's always a group where someone will say, those people are the problem. 0.92

01:39:57.840 Right.

01:39:58.040 And when you see, that's a code, and it's a code through history, and we need to be better than what angers us.

01:40:04.360 We need to not fall for that.

01:40:06.060 And we have to say, when someone's being picked on, use your voice and say enough.

01:40:10.140 Not just when it's your group being picked on, but any group that's being picked on, you've got to say no.

01:40:15.420 We used to say, I disagree with what you say, but I will fight to the death for your right to say it.

01:40:22.520 All right, back in just a second, Legacy Box, we're halfway through now, the first month of the new year, already those new year's resolutions, probably starting to weigh down on you, like, have you even started?

01:40:33.120 I didn't make one, so it's great.

01:40:34.800 Here's one you can take off your list.

01:40:37.320 Do you have a box somewhere, if you're like me, lots of boxes with family, you know, home movies and pictures and everything tucked away behind, you know, I don't know, old bowling trophies in the back of the closet.

01:40:48.880 If you have been meaning to find a way to preserve those, those are disintegrating quickly.

01:40:55.840 If you go back and look at them, you'll see the photographs are fading.

01:40:59.860 Legacy Box makes checking this off your to-do list really easy.

01:41:03.120 You just send the Legacy Box filled with the home movies and the photos and the slides or whatever, and you get back digital copies along with your originals, and it's all done here in America.

01:41:12.720 But it's now in a format that is permanent.

01:41:16.220 We've used Legacy Box before.

01:41:18.160 We're still using Legacy Box.

01:41:20.080 We have a lot to copy.

01:41:22.480 Kick off the new year by rescuing your family's most cherished memories.

01:41:27.200 Visit LegacyBox.com slash Beck.

01:41:29.900 Take advantage of the exclusive offer now.

01:41:32.480 That's LegacyBox.com slash Beck.

01:41:35.820 10 seconds.

01:41:36.520 Station ID.

01:41:37.020 So I want to talk to you more a little bit about your book, The Nazi Conspiracy, and what do you think would have happened if they would have died?

01:41:54.340 But because we always do a little bit of show and tell when you're here, I'm going to give you some choices.

01:41:58.480 I'm excited.

01:41:59.060 Of some of the new things, and you get a pick.

01:42:01.260 Okay.

01:42:01.620 I'm ready.

01:42:02.520 We have Batman's Cowl.

01:42:06.120 Which one?

01:42:07.400 From, is it Batman?

01:42:09.340 You bought 1989?

01:42:10.760 No, no, no.

01:42:11.240 66?

01:42:12.280 No, no, no.

01:42:12.920 This is the Batman.

01:42:15.060 The Christian Bale.

01:42:15.640 The Christian Bale.

01:42:16.380 I saw that one.

01:42:16.920 I knew you were going to bid on it.

01:42:18.480 I knew you were going to bid on that one.

01:42:19.260 I saw that one just came up.

01:42:20.880 Yep.

01:42:21.120 Okay.

01:42:21.420 So I have that.

01:42:22.360 You got a good deal.

01:42:23.060 I actually thought it was going to go higher.

01:42:24.160 You got a good deal on that.

01:42:25.100 Yeah.

01:42:25.440 Well, good deal is a-

01:42:26.320 I mean, it's a relative term.

01:42:27.480 Yeah, relative term.

01:42:27.920 I also have the speech with the bullet hole through it, given by Teddy Roosevelt, along

01:42:36.800 with his classes.

01:42:37.360 Oh, you have that?

01:42:37.780 I did not know you had that.

01:42:38.460 Okay.

01:42:38.700 And those two kind of tie together.

01:42:40.040 Yep.

01:42:40.260 I have Mel Gibson's sword from Braveheart.

01:42:44.520 I have Sputnik.

01:42:47.320 Of course you do.

01:42:53.440 And, oh, I have the founding document.

01:42:57.920 Of the first settlement in Texas in Austin's own hand, which is really pretty amazing.

01:43:07.040 But listen, as someone who wrote, I am Batman, it has to be the cowl.

01:43:11.720 I got to see it.

01:43:12.420 I only saw a picture of it.

01:43:13.480 I have not seen it up close.

01:43:14.560 Okay.

01:43:15.040 Would somebody get the Batman cowl and the FDR?

01:43:21.100 Yeah.

01:43:21.460 Not FDR.

01:43:22.200 Teddy Roosevelt.

01:43:22.480 Teddy Roosevelt.

01:43:22.940 Yeah, that was the other one.

01:43:23.800 That was the close one for me.

01:43:24.480 I have a Batman question for you that you might be able to answer.

01:43:29.720 I'm ready.

01:43:30.440 All right.

01:43:30.900 The name of the book is Brad Meltzer's The Nazi Conspiracy, The Secret Plot to Kill

01:43:37.300 Roosevelt, Stalin, and Churchill.

01:43:40.240 The idea was take all of these guys out and things collapse.

01:43:45.320 I don't think, I'm not sure that would have, at least in America, it wouldn't have collapsed.

01:43:53.660 I don't think we would.

01:43:54.780 I agree with you.

01:43:55.120 No, no, I agree.

01:43:55.640 I don't think that if it happened.

01:43:58.280 So hang on just a second.

01:43:59.480 Okay, let's do it.

01:43:59.840 We'll take a quick break and then we'll come back.

01:44:02.560 Great.

01:44:02.740 And get your opinion on that and then a little show and tell and a question that only you'd

01:45:28.500 So show and tell in a minute, but we're back with Brad Meltzer, the author of The Conspiracy Theory.

01:45:44.760 Sorry, the Nazi Conspiracy, the secret plot to kill Roosevelt, Stalin, and Churchill.

01:45:51.080 So what do you think would have happened if this would have won, if they would have done this?

01:45:56.300 This is before D-Day.

01:45:58.040 We're kind of, you know, on the ropes.

01:46:01.220 Yeah, I mean, listen, this is the moment where it can all go sideways.

01:46:04.880 I don't think if it happened, I think if the plot worked and the Nazis killed FDR, Stalin, and Churchill 0.51

01:46:10.540 at this moment in time, I don't think we'll be flying Nazi flags in Times Square right now.

01:46:16.640 But I do think that, you know, back then, perception was reality, right?

01:46:22.860 In a way, today, we all have our Twitter accounts, we have our Instagram feeds,

01:46:25.700 and the moment something comes out, we all say, oh, what the news says, I don't agree with that.

01:46:29.060 We find a different opinion.

01:46:30.420 But back then, if you look at when Churchill and FDR met for the very first time in Casablanca,

01:46:36.080 that moment of just them sitting there with every paper in the world saying,

01:46:40.260 look at the allies, how strong they are, they're standing together, that became reality.

01:46:43.920 We weren't really together.

01:46:44.920 We didn't have the supplies.

01:46:46.180 We didn't have the manpower.

01:46:47.300 But we look like the strongest power in the world.

01:46:50.100 And that is, to me, the great unknown.

01:46:51.740 Do I think someone would have stepped up or Cordell Hull or anyone else?

01:46:54.500 Of course, you know, D-Day is not planned just by three people.

01:46:57.380 It's planned by-

01:46:58.180 No, I know, but the leadership.

01:46:59.440 Churchill, I'm convinced Churchill was the only one that really understood all of it.

01:47:04.520 Oh, yeah.

01:47:05.160 Well, he, I mean, he's, you know, the thing that you have to look at, and it's just the sheer amount,

01:47:10.620 and this is what hit me more than anything, is what's at stake.

01:47:13.860 You know, the United States, we buried about 521,000 men.

01:47:19.140 The United Kingdom buried about 500, a bit more, about 550,000.

01:47:26.100 The Soviet Union buried 24 million people.

01:47:29.480 And you don't realize how just decimating the Nazis were.

01:47:33.580 When the Nazis attacked, and again, think about this in American terms.

01:47:37.300 When they attacked Leningrad, they take the city.

01:47:40.820 This is all in the book.

01:47:41.860 You take the city.

01:47:43.020 They don't want to deal with POWs, so they just surround the city and say, 0.95

01:47:46.100 no one's going in, no one's going out. 0.70

01:47:47.820 Their plan is to starve everyone to death.

01:47:50.320 And it happens immediately.

01:47:51.400 People start eating dogs.

01:47:53.000 They start eating rats.

01:47:54.600 Then they start looking at each other and thinking about eating the unthinkable, which happens.

01:47:58.780 And Stalin did it to the Ukrainians.

01:48:00.640 And Stalin, it's right out of, it's the same, thank you, it's the same exact playbook. 0.85

01:48:05.180 And what's so amazing is that in a year's, in no time, but in close to a year, nearly a million people in just that city are dead.

01:48:16.560 It's the greatest loss of life in a modern American city ever in history.

01:48:21.120 And that's one location.

01:48:23.700 So to me, I say all that simply to say, what do I think would happen?

01:48:27.300 Like, obviously, anything can happen at that moment.

01:48:30.680 And you take away our ability to look like we're the strong ones, and God knows where the Nazis go.

01:48:36.120 This is a great book.

01:48:37.280 It is a history book, but it's a story you've never heard before.

01:48:40.760 And even the stuff that you have heard, like Pearl Harbor, written in such a way, you look at it completely with different eyes.

01:48:48.820 I mean, you get the same, you know, bad guy, good guy, but completely different eyes.

01:48:53.320 And you're taken even to the White House and then to Winston Churchill, where you just, I just never thought of those things before.

01:49:04.380 It's great.

01:49:04.860 My favorite thing for Winston Churchill, just two quick thoughts, is I also love, and I have to, I haven't said this on anything that I've done, but you and I, so Winston Churchill's at the White House right after Pearl Harbor.

01:49:14.420 I thought this was what you're going to call me on, is, and Winston Churchill always had a bath every day, because he used to like taking a bath.

01:49:20.920 And FDR and his aide walk in on Winston Churchill, and he's buck naked.

01:49:25.960 That's not unusual for him.

01:49:27.380 Which is not, of course, but Winston Churchill at that moment has the greatest comeback, as he says, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom has nothing to hide from the President of the United States.

01:49:37.240 And to me, that is the greatest line to ever say if you are ever caught naked anywhere.

01:49:41.740 If the Nazi conspiracy gives you nothing else, it's the greatest line when you're caught naked. 0.71

01:49:46.260 But, and to me, what I love is, you know, how do you find this stuff out?

01:49:49.920 And for us, it was hard.

01:49:51.000 Like, we couldn't go to the National Archives for this, or go to the usual places we go to.

01:49:55.020 We needed researchers who speak Russian, who speak German.

01:49:58.380 And so, you know, the Nazis' top secret intelligence was on what they call the brown sheets. 0.52

01:50:03.100 And you and I, we got to find a brown sheet, because the brown sheets were literally called out because they were printed on brown paper.

01:50:09.100 And they used to be in a special zipper case.

01:50:11.920 You had to destroy it after a month when you read it.

01:50:15.700 It was like the Mission Impossible briefcase, but for Nazis. 0.95

01:50:18.460 The only reason we were able to research this book is people like Joseph Goebbels, the head of propaganda for the Nazis, used to keep extensive diaries.

01:50:27.600 And he stupidly used to write down what he saw on the brown sheets in his diaries.

01:50:31.460 And through our translators, we were able to figure out, we all know the story of the Enigma machines. 0.92

01:50:35.820 I know we've talked about them before, of course, cracking the Nazi codes. 0.52

01:50:38.780 What I didn't know, Glenn, is they had cracked our codes.

01:50:41.420 They had actually, according to his diaries, they had cracked our international cables between FDR and Churchill.

01:50:48.040 They were listening to us the entire time.

01:50:50.480 That's chilling to me.

01:50:52.060 And I just was, you know, again, things that I feel like I know World War II, not like this.

01:50:56.720 And this was kind of like looking at the bad guy's playbook and seeing how close they came to taking out the big three.

01:51:03.040 All right.

01:51:03.480 Let's do a little show and tell, shall we?

01:51:04.880 Can't wait.

01:51:05.320 Okay.

01:51:05.600 So in front of you is the Batman cowl from, that's Batman Begins, right?

01:51:12.820 Batman Begins.

01:51:13.400 Yes.

01:51:13.800 Yes.

01:51:14.160 With Scarecrow.

01:51:14.960 It is taking, I need to tell you, everything in my body to not put this thing on my head right now.

01:51:20.080 And just burst through the window and just go to the security and be like, I'm Batman.

01:51:25.080 That's it.

01:51:25.680 That's all I want to do right now.

01:51:27.880 So this is actually fireproof because this is for the scene where he walks through the fire that Scarecrow has started.

01:51:36.960 Okay.

01:51:37.340 So thoughts on the Batman cowl.

01:51:39.260 So here's my first thought.

01:51:40.340 My first thought is I saw when this came up right around Christmas time and all I thought was I need a Christmas present.

01:51:45.960 So I did not bid on it.

01:51:47.540 I will tell you, unlike the Superman stuff, I did not bid on it.

01:51:49.180 Please, before you bid on stuff, call me.

01:51:50.880 No, no.

01:51:51.940 We made a blood oath last time.

01:51:53.300 We are not bidding on things unless we tell each other.

01:51:55.880 I love, love, love the sculpture of this.

01:51:59.460 His jawline, you can see it coming through and add such a detail to it, which is spectacular to me.

01:52:04.880 It's cooler, I think, than the Darth Vader in person.

01:52:07.760 Oh, the Darth Vader is amazing, but it looks plasticky to this.

01:52:12.920 This looks real.

01:52:13.920 That looks like a toy and it looks big.

01:52:16.640 I told you when I wanted the Millennium Falcon.

01:52:18.780 What?

01:52:19.180 I went, so I went, I took my kids to see the filming of Star Wars and they said to me, you know, you want to meet R2-D2?

01:52:24.760 Of course.

01:52:25.120 You want to meet Chewbacca?

01:52:25.880 Of course.

01:52:26.200 I mean, it couldn't get better.

01:52:27.300 So each thing is getting better.

01:52:28.620 And then they say, okay, come this way.

01:52:30.600 And we turn the corner and now we're in Pinewood Studios.

01:52:33.520 Okay.

01:52:33.840 Wow.

01:52:34.280 Where they, of course, film Star Wars.

01:52:35.560 Yeah.

01:52:36.200 I had to pull every favor.

01:52:37.620 I had to give them one child, but I have a couple, so I had a spare.

01:52:40.140 But it was, and they, I turned the corner, I bring my kids.

01:52:43.860 It's like, this is my one gift I can give my kids.

01:52:46.340 And I turned the corner and there, you know what you're looking at is the entry to the Millennium Falcon.

01:52:51.240 Wow.

01:52:51.680 And I take my kids on the Falcon.

01:52:53.160 And I know, again, I'm such a nerd, but I know where to go.

01:52:56.100 I'm like, don't, you don't have to tell me.

01:52:57.100 I know.

01:52:57.320 So I sit down and my sons both jump in the two seats.

01:53:00.780 I have two boys and a girl.

01:53:02.380 And they fight.

01:53:03.040 And my son, my youngest son says, Chewy, hit the hyperdrive.

01:53:06.820 And then my other son says, no, no, you're Chewy.

01:53:10.060 I'm Han Solo.

01:53:11.080 You're in the passenger seat.

01:53:12.260 I'm the driver.

01:53:12.920 And they look at me and they say, dad, which one's the driver?

01:53:15.380 I say, what's Han Solo's seat?

01:53:16.980 And I'm so used to seeing it from the opposite side because we're looking at it from the inside.

01:53:20.960 I'm like, I don't know.

01:53:22.120 And I turn to our guide and he points to the older son.

01:53:25.000 And my older son says, Chewy, hit the hyperdrive.

01:53:28.400 And we just had, and they give you a camera.

01:53:30.540 And they say, take all the pictures you want because they're filming the new Star Wars at the time.

01:53:34.740 They say, we'll send you the photos in two years.

01:53:37.320 And two years later, sure enough, they sent me the photos of us on the Millennium Falcon.

01:53:41.060 That's unbelievable.

01:53:41.580 It was awesome.

01:53:42.300 Unbelievable.

01:53:44.060 Okay, show off.

01:53:44.760 Teddy Roosevelt.

01:53:45.360 Okay, let's do it.

01:53:46.560 Here's Teddy Roosevelt's glasses.

01:53:48.420 This is it.

01:53:49.180 Okay.

01:53:49.460 You can hold those glasses up and everybody should know exactly which president.

01:53:54.480 I mean, yeah, there's no one else.

01:53:55.800 This is spectacular.

01:53:56.560 I don't know why they don't make those anymore.

01:53:58.420 Really?

01:53:58.940 They're fantastic.

01:53:59.840 They're beautiful.

01:54:00.720 These are beautiful.

01:54:01.680 Yeah.

01:54:02.120 All right.

01:54:02.720 So here is the last page of the speech that he was giving at the Bull Moose party where he was shot.

01:54:10.200 That hole is the bullet hole that went in.

01:54:13.560 Is this his handwriting?

01:54:14.680 Did he do that?

01:54:15.240 No, this is the gift too.

01:54:16.820 And then here's the speech.

01:54:17.480 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:54:17.720 Wow, this is the bullet hole.

01:54:19.420 This is an amazing moment.

01:54:21.200 Only you, of course, would have this.

01:54:22.760 Isn't that crazy?

01:54:23.700 I love, love.

01:54:24.860 You know, and Teddy Roosevelt, again, of one of my favorite presidents of all time, bar nothing.

01:54:29.480 You know, no offense to FDR, no offense to anyone.

01:54:31.660 But Teddy Roosevelt is it.

01:54:35.240 Is it.

01:54:35.860 Now I'm reading the whole speech, of course, myself.

01:54:37.960 So here's the question that only you will be able to really answer.

01:54:43.180 Okay.

01:54:43.760 This is legend.

01:54:45.440 And they say they don't know.

01:54:48.060 Okay.

01:54:48.320 But I thought of you when I read it.

01:54:51.180 Batman.

01:54:53.540 Apparently, one of the inspirations of Batman.

01:54:57.700 Leonardo da Vinci?

01:54:58.700 Was Theodore Roosevelt.

01:55:00.280 Uh, okay.

01:55:01.060 So.

01:55:01.360 Rich guy.

01:55:02.620 Big, influential.

01:55:04.540 Gotham.

01:55:05.520 Cleaned up the city.

01:55:07.340 Did it in an unconventional way.

01:55:09.600 Yeah.

01:55:09.820 So I'm going to tell you the answer here.

01:55:11.200 So there is no more myth than the myth that surrounds Batman and his creation.

01:55:15.840 And the truth was, is it was, if you look for the original 75 years of it, everyone said

01:55:21.700 a guy named Bob Kane was the creator of Batman.

01:55:24.240 I'm on an event with a guy named Jerry Robinson one day.

01:55:27.400 And Jerry Robinson famously created the Joker.

01:55:30.600 And, you know, has his hands in Robin and all these other amazing things.

01:55:33.640 And this woman stands up and says, I'm the granddaughter of Bill Finger.

01:55:38.700 Who I'd heard of and is one of the original Batman artists.

01:55:42.200 And she says, and my grandfather created Batman with Bob Kane.

01:55:46.800 And I lean over to Jerry Robinson, who's there, who created the Joker.

01:55:50.160 Robin did all these things.

01:55:51.560 And he says, she's right.

01:55:53.400 And it causes me and a number of other people to start this campaign to recognize the creator of Batman.

01:55:58.600 Yeah, because they did that.

01:56:00.080 And Bob Kane, Bob Kane, I was part of this.

01:56:02.240 And Bob Kane famously said that the inspiration for Batman, his costume was Leonardo da Vinci.

01:56:09.280 He said some of the Teddy Roosevelt stuff, although I hadn't heard the extent of the rich guy stuff, but it's actually a good idea.

01:56:14.720 He was always looking to tell tall tales to keep away the fact that the real creation of Batman came also from this guy, Bill Finger.

01:56:23.980 And a bunch of us got together.

01:56:25.820 I work with DC Comics.

01:56:26.840 A number of other great people worked on the outside of it.

01:56:29.060 And if you look in the Batman comics now, it says created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger.

01:56:35.140 And the very first comic book that was written that gave him that credit was mine.

01:56:39.060 I put it in there because I wanted to correct the historical record.

01:56:41.640 And it was vital to me.

01:56:42.900 And I even thought, used to think that Batman, the inspiration for the costume came from Leonardo da Vinci's great bat wings and the flying wings.

01:56:51.020 But sadly, when he originally created them, he had these purple gloves and these other things.

01:56:55.660 It was Bill Finger who said, made up the name Bruce Wayne, gave him the identity, gave him the origin, gave him Gotham City, gave the bat signal.

01:57:03.460 He made all the stuff you love, gave him the scallop cape.

01:57:07.140 But we don't know what his inspiration was at all.

01:57:09.760 I've never heard the Teddy Roosevelt one, but I'm going to tell you what I'm going to be doing this afternoon.

01:57:13.620 I can tell you that.

01:57:14.260 Yeah, let me know.

01:57:14.860 I will.

01:57:15.200 Of course.

01:57:15.980 I'll text you.

01:57:16.380 And if it's wrong, you don't have to get back to me.

01:57:18.480 Don't tell me.

01:57:19.160 Right, right, right.

01:57:19.520 Don't tell me.

01:57:20.120 It's a great legend.

01:57:20.740 I love it.

01:57:20.800 I love it.

01:57:21.760 It's a brilliant idea.

01:57:22.800 It really is, isn't it?

01:57:23.800 It's a perfect idea.

01:57:25.220 Yeah.

01:57:25.360 Yeah.

01:57:25.560 I found it someplace.

01:57:27.200 I don't remember where.

01:57:28.440 Brad Meltzer.

01:57:29.380 The name of the book is The Nazi Conspiracy, The Secret Plot to Kill Roosevelt, Stalin, and Churchill.

01:59:35.960 I mean, his books are always great as well, but he really knows how to tell a story.

01:59:40.240 And he's one of those people too that he, the books he writes, he sort of lives through

01:59:46.240 his regular life.

01:59:47.280 Like he is always going after these incredible pieces of history.

01:59:52.260 He just loves it so much.

01:59:54.460 You can tell he has joy.

01:59:58.060 He just, he does.

01:59:59.280 He has joy in telling these stories.

02:00:01.720 I just love it.

02:00:03.120 By the way, you know, I didn't watch the Golden Globes.

02:00:07.140 I didn't even know the Golden Globes were on.

02:00:09.120 I don't really even care about any of it, but I saw a clip yesterday that I wanted to

02:00:13.780 play from Brendan Fraser.

02:00:15.980 Have you seen the clip yet?

02:00:17.760 I've seen a little bit, yeah.

02:00:18.460 This is amazing.

02:00:20.500 Well, I've seen Jeffy.

02:00:21.740 I have not seen the whale and, um, uh, but I want to see it now after this, listen to

02:00:29.860 this.

02:00:30.100 This was his acceptance speech, um, at the Golden Globes.

02:00:34.420 Listen to this.

02:00:35.020 If you, like a guy like Charlie, who I played in this movie, in any way struggle with obesity

02:00:44.060 or you just feel like you're in a dark sea, I want you to know that if you too can have

02:00:52.660 the strength to just get to your feet and go to the light, good things will happen.

02:00:59.180 You know what's amazing?

02:01:09.480 Have you seen the people that are standing up?

02:01:12.240 Uh, it's like all the people that I, you know, like Harry Winkler, uh, Henry Winkler and, you

02:01:17.680 know, people that we know or people that are kind of, and everybody else is like, they're

02:01:21.900 not standing up to applaud.

02:01:23.140 They're like, Oh, that's good.

02:01:24.160 That's good.

02:01:24.700 All right.

02:01:25.000 Move on.

02:01:25.840 Um, but this was, he was so concerned about this movie that he couldn't shoot one of the

02:01:34.000 main scenes, uh, one day.

02:01:36.080 And the director just said, Brennan, just relax, relax, relax, go home.

02:01:41.640 Just forget about all this.

02:01:43.140 And he's like, this is, I mean, he knew this was his comeback chance and, uh, he didn't

02:01:50.360 want to blow it because he loved the, the role.

02:01:53.660 And, uh, I mean, he gained what?

02:01:56.380 200 pounds for it.

02:01:57.800 Something like that.

02:01:58.580 Oh, well, I thought it was all makeup.

02:01:59.680 It was.

02:01:59.980 No, he really gained that way.

02:02:01.800 That's the fun part.

02:02:02.740 Yeah.

02:02:03.360 Getting it off.

02:02:04.240 That's the fun part of acting.

02:02:04.800 Yeah.

02:02:05.160 Yeah.

02:02:05.260 Not.

02:02:05.820 I like how it's like, everyone's like, gosh, the bravery of that person fighting back against

02:02:09.300 these terrible claims of obesity and they all stand up and they're all like 108 pounds.

02:02:13.380 Yeah.

02:02:13.600 Like every woman in the audience has 0.3% body fat. 1.00

02:02:19.200 I, I love Brendan Fraser because of that speech.

02:02:24.680 I love it.

02:02:25.620 And I'm going to see the whale and I mean the movie, not Jeffy.

02:02:33.640 That was mean.

02:02:34.780 See, that's the exact type of stuff that Brendan Fraser is bravely standing up against.

02:02:38.560 Yeah.

02:02:38.760 That's really, it's not.

02:02:40.600 You being hateful.

02:02:41.620 He's more of a hippopotamus because if you're in the water, he's in the water. 1.00
