BrickHouse wants to remind you that superfoods aren't always super.
00:00:23.100
You have to really look at the labeling on them because sometimes, you know,
00:00:27.060
if you see something that says supplement facts, that means it's made from extracts
00:00:48.640
Yeah, but especially this week after, if you ate like I did over the past four or five days,
00:00:54.160
Field of Greens is what BrickHouse Nutrition has come out with.
00:01:00.280
You don't have to deal with downing tons of broccoli.
00:01:02.520
You just have a scoop of this and whatever you're eating, it's great.
00:01:16.200
Yesterday, after we were told by the press that this was not going to happen,
00:01:22.760
this was not that that Donald Trump was just juicing the election,
00:01:33.860
Yesterday, an estimated 1,000 migrants from the infamous migrant caravan stormed the border like invaders.
00:01:44.480
They threw rocks and bottles at U.S. border agents.
00:01:49.400
In response, our agents fired tear gas at the crowd,
00:01:52.960
which gave the media the drama they had been craving.
00:01:55.920
So they could write lines like this from the Associated Press.
00:01:58.900
Quote, children screamed and coughed in the mayhem of the tear gas.
00:02:05.780
The headline might as well have been Evil America Tear Gases Babies.
00:02:15.060
I know we started to actually predict that this was coming within a year.
00:02:20.540
This spring, what is happening right now is the Palestinian state is being made on our border
00:02:31.500
and the United States of America will be made into Israel.
00:02:37.960
Yesterday morning, a group of Central Americans who were just fed up with the conditions in the migrant camps in Tijuana
00:02:45.100
held a rally urging the United States to speed up its asylum claims process.
00:02:51.740
Currently, the U.S. is processing 60 to 100 migrant asylum applications per day.
00:02:57.580
However, as the march veered toward the border, around 1,000 people decided to make a break for it.
00:03:03.940
They pushed past a Mexican police blockade and tried to squeeze through wire and scale fences.
00:03:10.280
As a result, the U.S. temporarily closed its border crossings between San Diego and Tijuana.
00:03:18.900
Now, apparently, a lot of the migrants' impatience stems from a pending deal between the U.S. and Mexico
00:03:25.020
over how we're going to deal with the asylum seekers.
00:03:29.600
In the past, asylum seekers have been allowed to remain in the U.S. while their cases are processed in the U.S. courts.
00:03:35.720
However, the Trump administration wants the caravan to stay in Mexico while their cases are processed.
00:03:43.200
Gee, that makes sense because if we make Mexico do that, maybe Mexico will worry about their own southern border.
00:03:54.280
They hope to make their asylum case in person to U.S. agents before this potential deal takes effect.
00:04:00.540
Now, it sounds all heart-wrenching, but the fact remains that the 1,000-plus migrants who rushed the border yesterday
00:04:07.960
are trying to expedite the legal process by breaking the law.
00:04:18.400
There's no solution for an immigration crush like this.
00:04:22.020
Yes, the asylum application process is going to be slow, especially when a mob of 6,000 people show up at the border at the same time.
00:04:32.580
Most other countries would be just as slow or slower, unless they were coming from the Middle East.
00:04:43.620
Frankly, most countries would close their border and turn this caravan around a long time ago.
00:04:58.100
But it is, at least for the time being, still governed by the rule of law.
00:05:03.580
What is it these people are trying to get to America for?
00:05:16.620
We cannot help other people who are trying to escape lawlessness by becoming lawless ourself.
00:05:28.380
Trying to crash through the border fence is not the way you immigrate to the U.S.
00:05:55.960
On the border thing, can we have the Jim Acosta audio?
00:05:59.080
You remember when last we spoke, we were still talking about Jim Acosta and what he said to the president, how he was kicked out, etc., etc.
00:06:07.120
I want you to listen to what he was talking about, because what he was talking about was the migrant crisis.
00:06:15.940
And this is a fascinating thing that's happened, because you had the migrant caravan coming.
00:06:23.680
And what we heard from the media was not whether this was a danger or whether this was real or what the causes of it were or how we should deal with it.
00:06:30.380
It was Donald Trump is basically just talking about this because of the elections coming up.
00:06:36.680
Then, right after the election, their coverage goes away.
00:06:41.020
And the only thing they talk about is, now that the election's passed, Donald Trump doesn't care about it.
00:06:45.680
Conservative media doesn't care about the caravan.
00:06:48.300
Then, this morning, people are talking about the caravan again, because there's people running across our border and climbing fences.
00:07:00.180
I thought you said it was only an election issue.
00:07:01.940
I mean, obviously, that's not true if you're complaining about how much they're covering it today.
00:07:07.580
And you also told us that it wasn't even going to arrive.
00:07:11.260
Listen to Jim Acosta from CNN on the migrant caravan.
00:07:23.460
I wanted to challenge you on one of the statements that you made in the tail end of the campaign in the midterms.
00:07:31.400
Well, if you don't mind, Mr. President, that this caravan was an invasion.
00:07:37.600
As you know, Mr. President, the caravan was not an invasion.
00:07:39.860
It's a group of migrants moving up from Central America towards the border with the U.S.
00:07:54.580
Do you think that you demonized immigrants in this election to try to keep...
00:07:58.920
I want them to come into the country, but they have to come in legally.
00:08:02.040
You know, they have to come in, Jim, through a process.
00:08:11.920
Because we have hundreds of companies moving in.
00:08:15.380
But your campaign had an ad showing migrants climbing over walls and so on.
00:08:41.080
I just wanted to ask Jim Acosta, who is right here?
00:08:48.940
Because you asked the question and the president told you, well, we have a difference of opinion.
00:09:03.520
You also said they were not going to be climbing walls.
00:09:16.080
And if you don't think a thousand people trying to rush our border is an invasion, what do you call it?
00:09:23.660
People coming here, standing in line, being cool.
00:09:28.060
Yes, it's going to take a while, but I'm going to be cool because I can't go back home.
00:09:34.440
But people trying to rush the border, a thousand of them.
00:09:40.420
And if you think this is the end of it, you're mistaken.
00:09:45.360
I just want you to understand that this is a Marxist utopia.
00:09:53.540
If you think these, quote, migrants are really ever going to go away, I think you're mistaken.
00:10:02.440
I have this sneaking suspicion that these people are going to be kept in limbo, that these people will be kept in Mexico instead of having Mexico saying we're not going to have this this separate community here.
00:10:22.080
They will keep them there and they will keep them there.
00:10:35.040
And it will be about the U.S. border and the United States will finally receive the treatment that Israel has been receiving the entire time.
00:10:46.480
And if you don't believe me, read the headlines of how the press covered this.
00:10:53.140
No, we were stopping a thousand people who we have no idea who they were from coming across the border.
00:11:04.920
Now, I understand if you're a mom and you wanted to get your child here.
00:11:11.520
But what responsible mother stands in a crowd and chooses the one thousand that are going to storm the gates?
00:11:36.380
You might not understand it, but things are so bad for me.
00:11:39.760
But you cannot tell me that if that was the situation with you and you were with your children.
00:11:48.800
That you would say, yeah, I'm going to not wait.
00:12:00.780
You cannot tell me also on the other side that if you were in Honduras and you were told America is just going to take you.
00:12:08.920
And they're going to take your kids and you're going to have a life in America.
00:12:12.920
You cannot tell me if that's what you believed and you knew America had a porous border and they didn't care.
00:12:21.760
You can't tell me you wouldn't go, especially if it was dangerous in your community because of drugs or whatever.
00:12:36.460
But I would not rush the border because I would think, well, that were really going to hurt my chances.
00:12:45.780
I mean, you want to talk about living in the shadows.
00:12:48.160
That's really going to hurt my chances of getting in legally.
00:12:58.520
You know, that's what you would do and I would do and any decent person would do.
00:13:06.240
You wouldn't rush the border like that, especially with a baby in your arms.
00:13:13.480
I am the guy who got my ass kicked by a lot of people for showing compassion to the people on the border.
00:13:21.560
So I am the same guy that says these are people and we need to have compassion.
00:13:30.300
However, when you cause your own problems, when you're running with your baby to rush a border, to break a law, to hope that you're just going to have the border guard.
00:13:59.100
I can feel bad for you because you're so unbelievably misguided.
00:14:12.760
The tears for the plight of your young child because of what you are doing.

00:16:08.080
Where do we, where do we, where do we, where do we begin, Stu?
00:16:26.880
I have a really bad feeling that, uh, 2019 is going to be the year.
00:16:35.600
Can we just now lock that in as our end of year conversation?
00:16:39.360
I feel like every, every year we're now like, ah, gosh, remember when, how great 2017 felt?
00:16:46.620
We just, every year, it seems like the next year is getting crazier and worse.
00:16:53.920
There are so many things that are happening right now.
00:16:57.020
Uh, Ukraine is under martial law today, and that's only because of an election.
00:17:05.140
The, the Russian, or the Russians, uh, seized Ukrainian ships, fired on them, killed, I think,
00:17:15.280
So that's heating up the, uh, the prime minister or president of, uh, of Poland said the United
00:17:23.220
States is the only guarantee that we have for any security of not being invaded by the
00:17:35.920
Uh, by the way, once I'm going back to the Poland thing for a second, once again, showing
00:17:39.900
something we've noticed and talked about many times on this show, and that a lot of people
00:17:44.280
in the media go after Trump for his rhetoric about Russia, but his actions about Russia
00:17:52.380
I mean, when you were on, when you were gone last week, they announced another massive,
00:17:56.400
uh, bust up of a financial network supporting everything from Hezbollah to Hamas through
00:18:05.080
Um, and again, you know, over and over again, we've seen this where he, where Trump might
00:18:10.620
in, in press conferences and interviews say things about Putin that make you squirm a little
00:18:16.800
His actions, at least the administration's actions on Russia have not been weak.
00:18:24.560
And I, I feel like the media, uh, ignores that because they like the sort of narrative
00:18:29.680
of, with the investigation going on and when with, uh, you know, they like the idea that,
00:18:35.840
you know, he's friendly to this sort of dictator, dictator type of figure.
00:18:40.560
But I mean, he is, Putin cannot be happy with Donald Trump.
00:18:45.000
He cannot be happy with the way that this has happened.
00:18:52.860
Poland is, is a, is a good example of it as well.
00:18:56.180
We've seen a lot of this going on, uh, and it doesn't get pointed out enough.
00:19:01.340
I think that, uh, Russia is testing the West right now and seeing if NATO is going to stand
00:19:11.860
Um, I, Russia is, Russia is on the move and you have riots in Paris.
00:19:23.580
You have Donald Trump with the FBI report that is coming out.
00:19:27.400
You have new news coming out of China now that 11 million people have already been sanctioned.
00:19:40.720
It was 11 million people have been blocked from taking flights already because of the
00:19:45.140
Another, I believe it's 4 million have been blocked from taking, uh, high speed rail and
00:19:51.180
another 3 million have been blocked from upgrading their rail.
00:19:55.060
So they wanted business class and were not able to purchase it because they did something
00:20:01.100
This is the new social credit system that, uh, China is helping Maduro build now in Venezuela
00:20:16.020
And it, it doesn't actually officially start until 2020 in Beijing.
00:20:22.340
And that's when it, that's, that's when it's lights out for China.
00:20:30.680
And like, again, as I might, we might complain about it, but I mean, I'm glad that at least
00:20:36.720
I guess I, I just, I, I'm, I'm very frustrated when people, uh, like me are called a conspiracy
00:20:49.220
Um, they're talking about the, the unspoken bargain citizens have with the communist party.
00:20:53.780
The government promises a good life to anyone who works hard, even the children of peasants
00:20:57.600
in exchange, they stay out of politics, look away when pro protestors climb onto rooftops
00:21:02.880
and accept the propaganda posters plastered across the city.
00:21:13.160
Can we just forget about the world for just a few weeks?
00:21:22.960
Uh, if you're thinking about, uh, Christmas gifts, I, I see this Pat Gray unleashed.
00:21:35.820
There's a great shoe in the fat with Jeff Fisher.
00:21:46.820
So, you know what is selling, uh, shockingly a lot is the one piece blaze swimsuit.
00:21:57.940
They, they showed me all the stuff that they were going to, you know, launch.
00:22:05.000
It was, but it is one piece, you know, so it is.
00:22:18.080
There is the, there is the Glenn Beck and this one I didn't approve.
00:22:21.960
And, uh, surprisingly, I, I didn't see this until somebody sent me something after I had
00:22:31.100
And the t-shirt and the pillow, which apparently is also selling.
00:22:35.120
I, I don't, I don't know if I want to meet you if you buy the pillow.
00:22:40.060
It is the, uh, it is, it is the bucket of chicken with my face.
00:22:50.380
So that's the, that's the mug is the bucket of chicken with me as Colonel Sanders.
00:22:58.380
And the, and the KFC is a matter of pillow and the t-shirts and all of it is available now
00:23:03.900
There's a flashback, uh, t-shirt too, of you and me, Glenn Pat days.
00:23:10.860
I think it's from whatever, maybe our first promotional photo shoots.
00:23:30.420
The flashback, uh, t-shirt might've even been pre ponytail.
00:23:51.640
Everybody was there and yeah, not everybody, but many, many, many issues.
00:23:58.820
There was a BYU, Utah situation, Glenn, that you should know about as a friend of Pat, uh,
00:24:03.900
that, uh, may have, may have hurt, may have hurt the few days off there.
00:24:08.780
It just, we're up 20 to nothing at the half and 27, seven late in the third quarter and
00:24:23.260
So anyway, um, I'm glad to see that there's nobody at the border.
00:24:26.940
You know, the, the, the, we're all conspiracy theorists.
00:24:29.780
Cause these guys, thousands of miles from the border.
00:24:38.860
You're showing pictures of them climbing fences.
00:25:16.620
Um, a, uh, a, a boy was introduced into the eighth grade and he was presented to the class
00:25:25.360
as a 15 year old boy born in Iran, had an amazing life story.
00:25:33.780
Uh, he's just claimed asylum in the UK and he's 15 and his brother is 12 and, uh, and, uh, and
00:25:46.200
And as we know, England said, uh, child refugees can remain if they are full time education, if
00:25:55.920
they, if they are there and in school age appropriate.
00:26:01.320
So this 12 and 15 year old, uh, went in and, uh, and they, uh, they're, you know, they're
00:26:09.360
However, one of the kids, uh, said he looks 30 because he had a full beard.
00:26:21.220
And if you see the pictures of him, you say that's unusual for 12 to 15.
00:26:33.640
The kid was punished and the kid that was reprimanded at school for being racist because he stated
00:26:50.700
School's not backing down and the government is, is supporting.
00:27:01.600
This is, I mean, this is Rudyard Kipling's, uh, poem where, you know, wishes are horses and,
00:27:10.500
I mean, we are told what to think, what to say, and to deny all reality.
00:27:18.580
Have you, have you seen what the global warming, what the new solution is?
00:27:24.320
The aerosol spray, we're going to dim the sun, dim the sun, dim the sun, dim the sun.
00:27:38.620
He completely blocked it out, but that was the plot.
00:27:42.380
So if I'm not mistaken, all of the money and all of the things that we've done to stop
00:27:48.820
global warming, what they're saying is now, if we want to stop it, we have to do more
00:27:54.720
of that stuff, except in the opposite direction.
00:27:58.540
Because they passed all these regulations on power plants to stop this exact stuff.
00:28:02.320
They would now want to spray into, didn't, didn't they ban aerosols and now they want
00:28:07.140
to spray aerosols into the atmosphere, to block the sun, to block the sun.
00:28:10.480
Remember, this is so reminiscent of the thing they never want to talk about, which is they
00:28:14.380
wanted to spread black soot on the poles to melt the ice back in the seventies because
00:28:25.720
I don't remember which book it's in of mine, but it's in one of our books.
00:28:39.400
Oh, here's another thing we're supposed to not notice.
00:28:46.160
So the, the, the, the press is only talking about this climate change report.
00:28:51.900
They're not talking about the climate change report.
00:28:54.320
All they're talking about is how the white house dumped it on black Friday and
00:29:02.460
So the press isn't really talking about it either.
00:29:06.260
They're just talking about how Donald Trump is not talking about it because
00:29:12.580
So nobody's actually talking about what the report says, but at the same time,
00:29:18.920
they're showing the riots in Paris, which I, I love.
00:29:28.360
If you're going to riot, it's one of the most spectacular places.
00:29:46.160
The oil prices are plummeting around the world.
00:29:55.380
Then if you read a little bit more, you'll see that it's taxes on gas prices.
00:30:00.280
Then if you read a little more, you will see that it's Macron's taxes on gas
00:30:06.600
to be able to curb global warming and to pour that money into alternative energies.
00:30:19.520
Instead, they all covered Cortez coming out and saying, we need a new deal.
00:30:26.000
She wants to go 100% renewable energy to get rid of the global warming problem.
00:30:31.680
It's like this is France is just implementing a bit of what people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
00:30:38.060
are suggesting, and the entire country's in riots over it.
00:30:47.300
The Democrats, if there are sensible Democrats over there, and they're looking at who they're
00:30:52.040
We went through this list of candidates on Friday.
00:30:54.040
The 40 candidates that they are now talking about that may very well be running for the
00:31:01.800
And many of them are what I would just kind of classify as climate activists.
00:31:13.880
Now, one of his five platforms, you missed this Glenn, one of his five platforms was
00:31:21.120
If you can guarantee people's health, not health care, he's guaranteeing health.
00:31:27.580
I got to say, there hasn't been a candidate since Jesus.
00:31:30.240
I was going to say, I don't think Jesus is going to guarantee that.
00:31:33.640
Jesus is like, I'm going to help you, but not you.
00:31:40.780
Steyer's going to up that program quite a bit and guarantee your health.
00:31:46.240
These guys have been, there's a bunch of them looking to run that are running as climate
00:31:55.120
Not only does it damage your economy in the long term, but you try to implement a policy
00:32:09.960
They should be totally and completely familiar and excited about it.
00:32:24.180
There are the Americas, the Americans, and those who live in the America that the press
00:32:30.400
and the politicians create, where they're just yapping and yelling at each other, and they're
00:32:49.100
And then there's the rest who are just kind of sitting around going, look at these people.
00:32:54.820
And they just haven't hit the point to where they're like, okay, guys, knock this crap off.
00:33:01.900
And I don't know what it's going to take for them to rise up.
00:33:04.880
I think that that was what the Donald Trump movement was, is enough people standing up and
00:33:17.080
Well, because they haven't knocked this crap off.
00:33:27.900
And a lot of them are just saying socialism is the way to go.
00:33:31.180
I mean, there are several candidates who are just avowed socialists.
00:33:36.040
And so they're taking off the mask and just running as such.
00:33:40.880
Did you hear the interview I did with, what's his name?
00:33:52.680
I was listening to it on the way to the airport.
00:34:08.740
It's a fascinating interview with a guy who started out not liking Ronald Reagan at all.
00:34:14.180
Yeah, he didn't write it with the idea that it was going to be a positive book, right?
00:34:35.500
Because he was like, you know, half the country loves this guy.
00:34:41.260
If you read the book, it looks like it was written by a fan.
00:34:46.320
And saying, you know, the stories that he's telling and the insight on Reagan is so great.
00:34:55.420
Wherever you get your podcast, just look for the Glenn Beck podcast.
00:35:04.260
And, by the way, if you're there, you know somebody loves Reagan, the book is called Reagan by Bob Spitz.
00:35:36.180
Secret Service has issued a warning that crooks are using the United States Postal Service
00:35:54.220
I guess it lets you view scanned images of incoming mail for some reason.
00:36:04.020
So, they scan the address and stuff so you know when stuff is coming.
00:36:10.440
You know, if there's a delivery you're expecting, you kind of can have an idea that it's on its
00:36:17.060
They were stealing credit cards from mailboxes over, you know, after signing up as those...
00:36:25.020
After looking on who's signing up on the website for the Postal Service.
00:36:29.140
There are so many ways for people to hack into our lives, especially right now.
00:36:37.440
I think Friday was bigger online than Cyber Monday last year.
00:36:46.080
It may have been bigger online than it was actually in the brick-and-mortar stores as well.
00:36:54.100
LifeLock Identity Theft Protection now has the power of Norton Security, and this is really
00:37:01.580
Nobody can prevent all identity theft or, you know, or cybercrime or monitor all transactions
00:37:08.220
But no matter the season, and they're working overtime now, LifeLock with Norton Security
00:37:13.740
is the right choice to help for the threats that you might miss on your own.

Cyber Monday, the economy, war with Russia, all of it still yet to come on the Glenn Beck
00:37:53.040
You know, the one thing the pain is not relieved from Relief Factor is the pain in your butt
00:37:59.440
that, you know, people like Stu create for me every day.
00:38:04.460
But Relief Factor has helped me alleviate pain.
00:38:11.160
It stops the inflammation in your body, and it makes a huge, huge difference.
00:38:15.960
70% of the people who try this order more month after month after month because it works.
00:38:21.940
They have the $20 three-week quick start, which is give it a shot, see if it works for you.
00:38:27.000
If it doesn't, you know, the worst, you're out $20, but that's certainly a good risk for...
00:38:33.940
If you are at the point where you're like, I can't take the pain anymore, I want you to
00:38:50.600
Well, if this concept is true, then we might be in for some seriously dark days.
00:38:55.240
In 1918, the world celebrated the end of World War I.
00:39:02.560
That was the war to end all wars, but it didn't end.
00:39:09.480
Kinetic War with Germany merely paused, giving way to a devastating economic war that effectively
00:39:17.060
galvanized the Germans into something much, much more frightening.
00:39:20.320
This year is the 80th anniversary of the Munich Agreement when the Western world appeased a
00:39:26.400
monster, giving Hitler a collective pass for annexing the Sudetenland.
00:39:39.720
He said, well, there's a lot of Germans that live there.
00:39:42.100
Now, this is really German land anyway, and all these Germans that live there, they want
00:39:46.580
to be a part of Germany, and it's just a small sliver of land.
00:39:54.860
But appeasement only encouraged the storm to come.
00:39:58.200
The Great War to end all wars never ended in 1918.
00:40:04.620
But consider this, did the true Cold War ever end?
00:40:11.080
The West declared victory in 1991, but I can't help but see the parallels between 1991 and
00:40:20.360
Like Germany in 1918, Russia dealt with a very, very, we were dealt a very similar blow to
00:40:29.000
NATO expanded, pushed into the Balkans against Moscow's wishes.
00:40:41.760
Kremlin went through severe economic disorder, molding it into what we now see today.
00:40:47.900
In 2014, Russia pulled off its own Sudetenland annexation with the seizures of Crimea and Ukraine.
00:41:03.780
And because we didn't do anything, Putin went in to seize eastern Ukraine.
00:41:09.080
Now, remember, the Ukraine is where the famine happened.
00:41:23.400
But the Russians said at the time, well, these are a lot of Russians in the Ukraine.
00:41:30.820
Because they couldn't get the Ukrainian people to calm down and they couldn't get them to comply.
00:41:37.240
And so they sent thousands and thousands of Russians into the Ukraine to try to make it
00:41:52.500
The world continued to pause even when he went into eastern Ukraine, turned a blind eye.
00:41:59.240
Today, 10,000 Ukrainians have died in this ignored, invisible war.
00:42:08.020
No one even wants to acknowledge that it's going on.
00:42:11.000
And given the silence of the world, Russia pushes on.
00:42:16.180
Yesterday, Russia fired and seized three Ukrainian naval ships.
00:42:30.820
Now, this is the financial hub for the Ukraine.
00:42:39.660
Today, their parliament is voting to initiate martial law, which was called for by the Ukrainian
00:42:47.540
Now, the Ukrainian president is currently going through an election.
00:42:51.660
Elections are never a time to mess around with countries because people do what they have
00:43:00.140
We are dangerously close to a breakout of a much larger conflict.
00:43:13.140
But Ukraine's president might be looking for a statement because of the election campaign
00:43:25.820
The U.N. Security Council has called an emergency meeting today.
00:43:33.720
Meanwhile, the U.S. State Department and President Trump have been eerily silent.
00:43:44.660
Do we even have a choice when dealing with a nuclear power in their own backyard?
00:44:07.040
Today, I started writing a list of the books that I have read this year that I thought people
00:44:33.920
But I wanted to bring this up here because there is one that you really need to read.
00:44:47.240
The Rise of the Fourth Political Theory by Alexander Dugan.
00:44:54.680
The theory is there's capitalism, there's socialism, right?
00:45:12.080
And when you read it, you will understand what Russia is doing.
00:45:22.980
And this is the guy who has designed the Ukrainian or Crimean policy for Putin.
00:45:28.300
He is literally mixing in end-of-times theology.
00:45:35.920
And he's not a religious dude, but he knows Russians are.
00:45:43.100
We have to bring about a global bloodbath to bring about the end-of-days so we can restart
00:45:52.800
in this new fourth political theory where Russia will rule the world.
00:46:00.240
May I have just a quick point against Alexander Dugan here about capitalism failing?
00:46:05.780
So an American high school student who works 15 hours a week and makes a minimum wage is
00:46:13.980
among the top 20% of wage earners in the world.
00:46:23.740
A high school student, again, 15 hours a week, minimum wage, top 20% of wage earners in the
00:46:34.220
I mean, you know, again, we are so blessed to live here.
00:46:43.080
It's a lot of people who are intentionally trying to destroy it like Alexander Dugan.
00:46:46.500
By the way, speaking of capitalism, I saw this story today and I thought of used to 40 million
00:46:52.380
people with diabetes will be left without insulin by 2030.
00:46:57.460
They're saying that by 2030, there'll be 79 million adults with type 2 diabetes that are
00:47:04.040
expected to need insulin to manage their condition.
00:47:06.500
If current levels of access remain, only half of them will be able to get an adequate supply.
00:47:12.280
They're projecting that it's going to be a huge growth of type 2 diabetes in Africa and
00:47:32.360
But first of all, I have a lot of faith that a free market will provide the insulin needed.
00:47:39.760
We're talking about 10 years from now, 11 years from now, if we know there are going
00:47:46.700
to be 40 million people, you don't think capitalism is going to say we need to up the insulin.
00:47:51.700
Unless they cure it in another way completely and you don't need insulin.
00:47:55.140
To manage your conditions, if current levels of access remain, well, it's not going to
00:48:03.740
It will actually decline if you lose the capitalist system.
00:48:09.660
There was a study that came out and it was all over the media the last week or so that
00:48:14.800
was talking about how scary it was that, you know, cancer now is rising to levels.
00:48:26.920
You know, cancer now the biggest killer in Australia ahead of heart disease.
00:48:32.000
Now, we went, we go over this, by the way, the tour is happening this week.
00:48:37.500
If you want to come join us, glenbeck.com slash tour.
00:48:41.080
By the way, we're in, we're in Tampa on Friday and then Orlando on Saturday.
00:48:46.720
And I've got a pair of tickets for each of those shows.
00:48:50.100
If you're in Tampa or you want to come to the Tampa Orlando call now, 888-727-BECK.
00:48:55.320
You can win a free pair of tickets so you can come to the show, but make sure you grab
00:49:01.280
your tickets online at glenbeck.com slash tour.
00:49:04.140
It's, it's a lot of fun happening this Friday and Saturday, Tampa and Orlando.
00:49:08.080
Part of the show, we focus on some of the good things that are happening in the world that
00:49:11.800
And the cancer rates, you know, we've gone over that, you know, there's so much improvement
00:49:18.040
And what the, what the, when they dig into this report, what's actually happening is because
00:49:22.320
they're saying it's the biggest killer now in Australia.
00:49:25.300
Well, that's because people are living so much longer.
00:49:28.300
They're living essentially long enough to get cancer, right?
00:49:32.060
They're, they're now getting to the point where you don't get cancer, you know, these
00:49:35.800
types of cancer that you don't typically get at 50 years old and people were dying at 60.
00:49:42.840
Now they're living to 80 and 90 and they're developing cancer very late in life.
00:49:52.920
And the same thing with, with the diabetes stuff and, and obesity, they came out and
00:49:57.380
said that, you know, obesity is now a bigger problem than hunger.
00:50:02.320
If we could get to a point where we all choose to die, that's a great world, right?
00:50:08.440
Where we all have to make bad decisions to die.
00:50:11.760
We don't just die because of things we can't control.
00:50:14.440
If we can get to a point where we all have to choose to be fat, lazy pieces of crap.
00:50:19.580
Uh, and that's what eventually causes our death.
00:50:22.660
Now, I hope we don't choose that, of course, but, but we will, but that's a better outcome
00:50:30.860
Like this is a starvation starvation, which is the most, one of the most brutal ways to
00:50:38.180
So this, you know, there's some really good things that are happening in the world.
00:50:50.840
I'm going to take a quick break and then I'm going to, I'm going to come back and I'm give
00:50:55.480
I'll post later today of the books that I have read that, that I would recommend.
00:50:59.980
I've read a few others that I would not recommend, but, um, I'll give you some of the books that
00:51:06.560
I've read that I really recommend in different categories.
00:51:14.460
What is the name of that one by a Steven Pinker?
00:51:28.860
And it, it is all about, guys, it's, it's, it's not what you think.
00:51:36.140
There's another book, uh, called, um, uh, it's better than it looks by Greg Easterbrook.
00:51:48.060
And you, you look at it and say, wait a minute, it looks really bad.
00:51:51.700
His point is, yes, it does look really bad, but that's because nobody's showing you the
00:51:59.740
And when you start to see how much progress we have made and you stop concentrating only
00:52:08.040
on our problems, all of a sudden you start to say, wait a minute, wait a minute, let's
00:52:27.720
And capitalism is starving people to death and taking their money.
00:52:38.700
Now you could make the case that those things are true.
00:52:42.680
If you leave out the other side of the story, you can equip your kids with some really good
00:52:52.220
stuff about capitalism, but I would suggest that you start with it's it's what is it?
00:52:59.640
It's it's better than it looks by Greg Easterbrook.
00:53:07.420
Back in a second sponsor, the Sapphire is Casper.
00:53:11.600
The weather getting colder, the struggle to get out of bed is, oh, man, it was 60 degrees
00:53:20.540
Yeah, yeah, I was we were in 20 degree weather up in the mountains.
00:53:24.720
And as I was leaving, one of the guys said, oh, you're leaving.
00:53:31.300
Like, yeah, it's going to be about four next week.
00:53:45.120
And I don't know about you, but I have a hard time getting out of bed when it is when
00:53:52.240
The most comfortable mattress, the one that will not help you get out of bed because you
00:53:56.540
want to just crawl up and fall asleep is Casper.

You want to go to the Tampa show this Friday, Kim?
00:54:42.420
I've been listening to you for years and years and years.
00:54:51.820
A lot of people say that to Glenn and then scary things happen.
00:55:09.080
Hang on, unless we already have all of your information.
00:55:17.080
Let's go to Barb, who wants a couple of tickets to the Orlando show.
00:55:44.020
And then you start looking like Colonel Sanders.
00:56:17.620
If you want to join us, all you have to do is go to glenbeck.com slash tour.
00:56:21.400
And you can get your tickets for Orlando and Tampa this week.
00:56:25.920
So I started making this list of the books that I have read that I've enjoyed that I thought might make good presents for somebody this year.
00:56:45.900
I have history, I have novels, social science, teenagers, tech, and future.
00:56:59.540
Well, you know, I'm trying to think of the books that can teach your kids something that they should know.
00:57:15.820
First of all, the Know Your Bill of Rights book by Sean Patrick is really good.
00:57:28.600
But I would look at 1984 and Brave New World and Fahrenheit 451.
00:57:52.880
We're getting into that China thing more this week.
00:57:54.720
But that is an incredible story that is not getting much attention at all.
00:57:58.920
By the way, if you're into that, I read a book called The People's Republic of the Disappeared.
00:58:04.000
Which is really interesting how people just kind of like disappear.
00:58:10.680
This is written their accounts of what happened to them after they were disappeared.
00:58:15.020
Now, as helpful as your completely unreadable chicken scratch on yellow notebook paper is,
00:58:19.820
would this be something we could post on the web?
00:58:23.400
So, you know, I'll give you some other really good books for you to read in all different categories.
00:58:29.880
If you're looking for a Christmas present, we'll have that for you online.
00:58:42.980
You can buy tickets to the Tampa and Orlando show, which happened Friday and Saturday at glenbeck.com.
00:58:48.380
Also, shop.theblaze.com is a great place to do some of your cyber shopping for fans of the show.
00:59:02.760
The new Glenn Beck t-shirt and coffee mug and for some strange reason, pillow is out.
00:59:15.320
The picture is resembles a bucket of chicken with my face on it.
00:59:21.540
And, you know, I mean, some will find that funny.
00:59:37.160
These are some of the books that I have read in the last year that I highly recommend.
00:59:42.280
I'm in the middle of Kate Morton's The Clockmaker's Daughter.
00:59:51.460
This woman in present day England, she is working at a conservatory and she is she opens up.
01:00:01.300
I think it's a satchel of some sort of a satchel.
01:00:03.660
And she has to catalog everything and she's captivated by a picture that is in there.
01:00:09.580
She remembers that in a story that her mother used to tell.
01:00:14.000
But she thought that this was a story that was just her mother's story.
01:00:18.300
So how did this picture of this old house get in there?
01:00:22.780
So she starts this investigation and it goes back about 100 years.
01:00:29.540
And I don't know how it ends yet, but it's really it's a lot of fun, especially if you're like, you know, history hunts.
01:00:38.720
There is a book called White Rose Black Forest, which I read, I think, in the spring and loved this book.
01:00:48.020
This one is about a an allied soldier, World War Two, and he has to fly in and parachute into the Black Forest all by himself.
01:00:59.300
And he's going in as a German soldier and he has to kill one guy on a certain date.
01:01:10.460
Well, he goes in and something happens to a shoot.
01:01:13.000
I can't remember exactly, but he lands in the in the forest, and I think he breaks either one or I think maybe both of his legs and he passes out and he's out in the snow at night in the black forest.
01:01:27.440
Well, this woman, this German woman who lives in a cabin there in the forest, she happens to be walking in the forest.
01:01:35.560
You know, you know, but he doesn't know that she was going actually to kill herself that night.
01:01:42.580
She takes care of him and then drags him back to the cabin where she nurses him back to health.
01:01:50.080
Well, he's trapped and he can't move because of his legs.
01:01:56.180
What she can't tell him is that she's anti-Nazi and her biggest foe is the head of the SS in her small little town.
01:02:07.620
And they have just destroyed her family and she hates the Nazis.
01:02:12.580
But she can't say this because he's a German soldier.
01:02:17.780
But she starts to realize, I don't think he's a German soldier.
01:02:27.860
So it's this game back and forth the whole time.
01:02:31.300
This mental game and how it ends is just it's fantastic.
01:02:41.860
If you're into tech and see what's coming, he wrote a book called The Fear Index.
01:02:50.520
This guy was working for CERN and he had this theory that he could make an AI that could predict, you know, habits.
01:03:03.180
And he used as an example, it could predict the stock market and it could actually make money.
01:03:08.600
So this guy from Wall Street comes in and says, hey, I want to hire you for this.
01:03:15.520
And so he does well, it turns out that he actually creates a eye and then it starts to move into a GI and its goal is to make money.
01:03:28.140
Well, fear, don't fear the machine, fear the goals.
01:03:34.420
It now is taking on a life of its own and it is piling money in.
01:03:39.620
But like plane crashes are happening just after the stock is dumped.
01:03:49.600
They don't know if they want to shut it down as the guy starts to figure things out.
01:04:07.720
We should get to today on AI where he's talking about.
01:04:10.800
I mean, he's absolutely in this world and you've talked about him as being very skeptical of how this is happening.
01:04:17.640
He's seemingly making major moves to try to make sure that we do it.
01:04:24.360
Yeah, no, he's he started a huge foundation to do it, but he doesn't believe it'll be done, nor do I.
01:04:31.960
You can't put this genie back in the bottle and somebody somewhere is going to go.
01:04:41.780
Also, the new Dan Brown book that came out this year.
01:04:48.420
If you know somebody that is into history, there's a few things that I that I highly recommend.
01:04:59.720
We just had him on as a podcast over the weekend.
01:05:29.040
He's got a long list of he writes the ultimate biography of people.
01:05:39.320
He he he writes these books, the people that change culture and are deeply.
01:05:49.260
The only person he said he was with his wife and he was like, who can I write about next?
01:05:58.040
But he decided that half the country loved him.
01:06:02.520
And so he went and he started to track him and he met with people that have never been interviewed before in his hometown that knew him and his family.
01:06:12.860
He went in and he had access to Reagan's personal papers.
01:06:24.060
One other author has had access to these, but he left them sealed.
01:06:28.760
And the things that he found in those papers, just awesome.
01:06:38.060
He loves Reagan now still says, I disagree with his policies, but I love this guy.
01:06:59.320
It is the best history book on Germany I have ever seen.
01:07:03.820
The reason why it stopped is the guy escaped from Germany, came over here, became one of the leading authors and leading authorities on Hitler himself.
01:07:17.040
He was writing it in Germany as a as a missive to the West saying, look, you don't understand our history.
01:07:25.760
You don't understand what he's doing and how this is affecting even my friends.
01:07:34.580
Another book that I read over the summer by Thomas Cahill is how the Irish saved civilization.
01:07:42.040
I don't even know why I picked this up, but I picked this book up and I loved it.
01:07:48.820
You will because of the way Ireland was a lot of the books when Europe was burning were taken to Ireland and left in Ireland.
01:08:03.980
So a lot of the knowledge of that should have been lost was preserved by the Irish, but also the whole story of St. Patrick.
01:08:16.500
I couldn't find any snakes, but do you know what he did drive out of Ireland?
01:08:23.120
He was a slave who was captured, I think, in Great Britain, and the Irish were horrible slave owners, and they would just come and they would just capture people and they would take them and they'd sell them into slavery.
01:08:40.760
Well, St. Patrick, he escapes one night just because he heard the voice of God and he just walked.
01:08:51.020
He gets he walks all the way across Ireland, gets to a ship.
01:09:00.200
He never wants to have anything to do with with the Irish again, and he's prompted.
01:09:06.880
And so he starts changing people's hearts one town at a time, one church at a time in in Ireland.
01:09:26.260
The Tech Wise Family by Andy Crouch is a great book.
01:09:47.640
There are three of them here that are really, really good that are, I think, are must reads.
01:10:07.880
And I think it's Life 3.0 that talks about the industries of the future that will survive.
01:10:13.640
Then one more category, and I've got a lot more books, but I'll post them all online.
01:10:22.600
In the social sciences, how to win friends and influence people.
01:10:36.340
This is the book on how to bring America back together.
01:10:40.140
This is the best thing I have read in a long time as far as solutions.
01:10:54.360
This is a frightening book, but you will understand how leadership around the world.
01:11:00.880
This is a very respected guy, respected by global leaders.
01:11:08.680
This one has some truly frightening things in it.
01:11:11.860
The way he just looks at the world and you get an insight on what's coming.
01:11:21.240
You may not agree with the lessons that he wants to give, but you should know them because
01:11:29.800
Then, real quick, The Coddling of the American Mind by Greg Lukanoff and Crisis of Responsibility
01:11:40.300
There's more on these lists and we'll give you the complete list at glennbeck.com.
01:11:45.920
We'll have that posted later today at glennbeck.com.
01:12:00.420
Most people believe that to refinance a home loan, you first have to finance for 15 or 30
01:12:13.760
When refinancing to eliminate mortgage insurance, lower your rate, or consolidate high interest
01:12:19.740
debt, you don't have to worry about resetting your loan.
01:12:22.780
Because in American Financing, they offer 9, 13, or 18-year loans.
01:12:28.920
So it's really any term that you need, and it's a custom loan.
01:12:36.400
They'll find the most competitive interest rate.
01:12:38.940
It's mortgage your way because they're not a bank.
01:12:47.640
With a fixed rate, no matter where the interest rates go, yours will stay the same, and that
01:12:52.880
is really important because your monthly payment is going to increase if you have an adjustable
01:12:58.780
loan, and now, trust me, now is the time to get a loan or to refinance.
01:13:13.420
You do that on your phone using the keyword American Loan.
01:13:20.920
Use the keyword American Loan or AmericanFinancing.net.

We've had him for about four years, and I don't think I've ever seen him happy until
01:13:54.140
We went up to the ranch, um, and, uh, I think this was the second time up on the ranch, but
01:14:05.860
I mean, she was like, you know, he would actually walk around the couch to cross the room if
01:14:17.320
Um, and, uh, I think this is the first time I've seen him happy, and it's crazy.
01:14:29.160
I mean, they, they, I mean, he seemed fine, but, you know, the other, the, he was out
01:14:34.500
in the yard, and he was, like, rolling rocks, and, like, all by himself.
01:14:42.760
He was, like, playing frisbee by himself for a while.
01:14:53.420
He doesn't do anything unless, you know, he's supposed to.
01:14:57.020
Up at the ranch, he was a crazy dog, but wagging his tail, so happy.
01:15:04.780
I brought him back, and he was like, okay, we're back here, okay.
01:15:08.480
I feel really guilty, because I think I saw him happy for the first time.
01:15:48.820
What determines, or who determines, who is free?
01:15:54.760
Imagine the First Amendment vanishing overnight,
01:15:58.440
and suddenly there were limits on what you can and cannot say.
01:16:07.780
How much would you lose if we didn't have freedom of speech,
01:16:21.900
Whether or not something was offensive to you or not,
01:16:27.460
I mean, not unless you were a part of, you know,
01:16:31.960
a small group of activists that had gained control,
01:16:41.240
and they could say that you can't discriminate,
01:17:00.240
coming up with a definition of what those words mean.
01:17:02.820
By their standards, discrimination and harassment
01:17:05.180
have less to do with insulting or abusive language,
01:17:08.740
and more to do with the general public's proper use
01:17:16.760
person's self-identified gender pronouns and expressions.
01:17:34.300
This is the one that Jordan Peterson came up against
01:17:38.940
and said, I'm sorry, this is a freedom of speech issue.
01:18:02.280
Now, it hasn't spread much further than New York in America,
01:18:09.300
Twitter recently announced a ban on misgendering
01:18:56.240
But we can still be a little concerned about the decision here.
01:19:01.140
It's a little shocking that science is being discarded in the name of progress.
01:19:08.220
We prohibit targeting individuals with repeated slurs, tropes, or other content,
01:19:14.000
intend to dehumanize, degrade, or reinforce negative or harmful stereotypes
01:19:29.080
but all those things have been done to me online.
01:20:07.240
it jeopardizes their ability to express themselves.
01:20:16.000
I've chosen to kind of back off of Facebook some.
01:20:27.920
are disproportionately targeted with abuse online.
01:21:16.240
For those who identify with multiple unrepresented groups,
01:21:32.520
It's unclear what data or evidence Twitter used
01:21:37.780
but we can say for sure that the transgender population
01:22:06.280
that it's infringing on everyone else's freedom.
