The Glenn Beck Program - Glenn Has THESE Questions About the Nvidia Scandal’s Weird Timing ｜ Guest： Carol Roth ｜ 11⧸12⧸26

00:00:00 Behind our nation's defense is a powerful network of Canadian communities,

00:00:03 supported by Lockheed Martin Canada.

00:00:06 It's a network of over 1,300 employees and over 1,000 local suppliers,

00:00:10 from small family businesses to major tech firms.

00:00:14 Together, we've delivered a $3.6 billion boost to the Canadian economy over the past five years.

00:00:20 That's money that goes to securing our skies, our oceans, and the place we call home.

00:00:25 Learn more at LockheedMartin.com slash Canada.

00:00:30 Here's something I want you to hear.

00:00:31 It's Medicare open enrollment.

00:00:33 Yay!

00:00:34 The only time of year where you can make changes to your Medicare plan.

00:00:37 But I have some bad news.

00:00:38 I've just been looking at some research, and this is amazing.

00:00:41 It shows that only 1 in 10 Americans are on the right plan for their needs.

00:00:44 And it's worse than that.

00:00:45 The average person was overspending more than $1,000 a year,

00:00:50 and 1 in 10 are spending $2,000 more than necessary, and they have no idea.

00:00:55 This could be you.

00:00:56 The system is so confusing.

00:00:58 It's easy to pay too much and never know it.

00:01:00 But right now, Medicare open enrollment, the one window every year where you can fix it.

00:01:05 That's why I want you to fix it now with Chapter, the only Medicare advisors that I trust.

00:01:09 So dial pound 250 and say the keyword Chapter.

00:01:13 A couple from my audience, Tamara and Dean, they called Chapter.

00:01:16 They're saving almost $3,000 this year.

00:01:18 The call is free.

00:01:19 It takes 20 minutes, maybe.

00:01:21 Dial pound 250.

00:01:22 Say the keyword Chapter.

00:01:23 Act now before you're left overpaying or on the wrong coverage for another year.

00:01:28 Pound 250, chapter.

00:01:53 Crank the game

00:01:55 Glenn Beck is on

00:01:58 Glenn Beck is on

00:02:00 Na na na na

00:02:02 Na na na na

00:02:07 The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment

00:02:16 This is the Glenn Beck Program

00:02:21 Glenn Beck is on 0.72

00:02:23 well the ceo of nvidia has just resigned why well because he was sleeping with a possible chinese

00:02:33 spy why look at his leather jacket he wanted to be cool that's why somebody found him attractive

00:02:39 and he's just a typical can't think beyond his pants uh kind of guy apparently however

00:02:46 why is this coming out now because this has been known and known by our government this

00:02:53 investigation started under biden but there's all kinds of problems with this story and it's

00:03:00 all about the timing so we're going to give you a different perspective on what this story may

00:03:06 really be about we'll talk about that in 60 seconds first let me tell you about patriot mobile

00:03:12 You can learn a lot about a company by what it does when it has a customer problem.

00:03:19 A phone service provider can put all kinds of impressive numbers into an ad,

00:03:22 but when your bill doesn't make sense and your service needs attention,

00:03:25 you want to talk to an actual person who can help.

00:03:28 You want to know if your company that you're supporting every month

00:03:31 is supporting you and understands you.

00:03:34 That's why Patriot Mobile deserves a look.

00:03:36 I'm a big fan of Patriot Mobile because they're a wireless provider

00:03:40 that openly supports the values that we hold dear,

00:03:43 the first and second and third and fourth and fifth.

00:03:46 It's all of the amendments, the sanctity of life,

00:03:48 the men and women who serve our country.

00:03:50 They also emphasize U.S.-based customer support.

00:03:53 So you're talking to a real person here in America,

00:03:56 and that matters because a monthly phone bill

00:03:58 isn't a one-time purchase.

00:03:59 It's an ongoing relationship.

00:04:01 And right now for Black Friday,

00:04:03 they've got a great deal for you.

00:04:04 A free 5G smartphone plus two free months of service.

00:04:08 Free, two months.

00:04:15 Use the promo code Beck Friday.

00:04:17 That's the promo code B-E-C-K Friday for a free phone and two months of free service.

00:04:23 Beck Friday. Switch today. Terms and conditions do apply.

00:04:28 So who decided that today is the day?

00:04:32 Why is this story on NVIDIA out?

00:04:35 because this is killing anybody who had their money in NVIDIA.

00:04:40 Killing it.

00:04:42 It's way down on the stock market today.

00:04:45 Now the CEO has just resigned, had to.

00:04:51 The board of the most valuable company on earth

00:04:55 opened an investigation on its own CEO.

00:04:57 But it wasn't anything new.

00:05:00 On Sunday, NVIDIA's Jensen Hong sent a letter to his employees, and he admitted,

00:05:10 I've been unfaithful to my wife. He apologized to his family. He apologized to his colleagues

00:05:16 and his shareholders. He didn't name the woman. The Financial Times said a U.S. intelligence memo

00:05:21 did her name same last name first name alice no relation she was an executive at the singapore

00:05:31 company called mega speed it's one of nvidia's biggest customers in southeast asia now according

00:05:37 to the new york times american intelligence believes china's ministry of state uh recruited

00:05:43 her to get close so it's you know they're they're kgb if you will recruited her and said honeypot

00:05:51 we need you to come on to him the same day he sent that letter nvidia's board launched an

00:05:58 independent investigation it says it has no reason to believe any secrets were compromised

00:06:04 yesterday the stock dropped as much as eight percent from early october to early november

00:06:12 nvidia has lost more than a trillion dollars in value let me ask you first question here who does

00:06:19 that hurt well it hurts the shareholders it hurts you if you have anything in your 401k

00:06:24 but it also deeply hurts america nvidia is the biggest chip manufacturer that we have

00:06:32 the most advanced chips now six months ago this story came out 31 year old christian

00:06:39 lamarco he saw at least part of this coming he runs a tiny little short selling shop called

00:06:45 culper research and he runs it out of brooklyn just two analysis or analysts um and he uh went

00:06:54 to a small christian college in pennsylvania he has no wall street pipeline uh and he just cold

00:07:00 mailed his way into the business so he's he has no connections whatsoever and last year his team

00:07:09 started digging into nvidia and quit because they figured three guys couldn't find you know

00:07:13 what wall street had missed in march they picked it back up with former employees corporate filings

00:07:21 uh in not only here but in singapore and malaysia even youtube footage shot outside a noodle shop

00:07:29 in taiwan in may he published 40 pages on nvidia the company had said its china business went to

00:07:38 zero after export restrictions. Lamarco said it hadn't gone anywhere. He claimed that more than

00:07:45 20% of NVIDIA's computing revenue was still tied to China flowing through middlemen in Singapore

00:07:52 and Malaysia. And he named Megaspeed. He said its balance sheet went from $33 million to $3 billion

00:08:02 in one year, and then he included the photographs of Jensen and Alice together.

00:08:09 He called the relationship uncomfortably close.

00:08:14 He published this, and what happened?

00:08:19 NVIDIA's stock went up.

00:08:24 Hmm.

00:08:26 Nobody cared.

00:08:27 nvidia disputed the claims mega speed says inspections found no illegal transfers

00:08:36 nobody's been charged with anything the allegations and they say they stay allegations

00:08:41 until somebody proves them the allegations are out there but the story nobody cared about in may

00:08:50 is the story that is devastating our stock market in November.

00:08:56 Now, I don't know about you, but I have some questions.

00:09:00 Because that doesn't make sense.

00:09:05 First, the Times reports President Trump was briefed about this a year ago.

00:09:11 Classified memo circulating among senior officials last spring

00:09:16 reportedly overseen by Marco Rubio.

00:09:19 So we know the government knew. We know this investigation actually kind of started under the Biden administration.

00:09:25 But then we have the paper trail for the last year.

00:09:30 The government knew for a year.

00:09:34 What did it do with what it knew?

00:09:37 There's the first question.

00:09:39 Second, when our intelligence agencies believe a foreign service is targeting an American executive, what do they do?

00:09:45 they warned them that's usual they warned them it's called defensive briefings

00:09:51 the times reports jensen never got one now wait a minute hang on he is the head of one of the

00:10:03 most important chip manufacturers for sure in the united states but in the world and if the

00:10:10 government knew if you believe Beijing is working with the most important technology executive in

00:10:17 America and you don't tell him, what are you waiting for? What were they watching? Were they

00:10:25 watching her? Were they watching him? Or was someone saving it for the right time? Third,

00:10:35 During that same year, Washington let NVIDIA sell more advanced chips into China.

00:10:42 Now, if the people making that decision had a memo saying Chinese intelligence was inside the CEO's circle, how did anyone make that call?

00:10:50 These are the same kinds of questions I had with Hillary Clinton.

00:10:55 Remember when she was double dealing and dealing with Russia and selling our nukes and plutonium and everything else?

00:11:02 And you're like, wait a minute, that doesn't make sense.

00:11:04 Well, it doesn't make sense now.

00:11:07 And if they never read the memo, who did read the memo?

00:11:14 Fourth, a classified intelligence assessment ended up in the New York Times.

00:11:23 Hmm.

00:11:24 A week later, the most personal detail in it, in that classified briefing, ended up in the Financial Times.

00:11:32 Okay, so that's not one leak, that's a drip.

00:11:37 May I ask, who's turning the faucet on?

00:11:41 Because leaking classified intelligence is a crime.

00:11:45 Why isn't everybody up in arms in Washington about who's leaking this information?

00:11:51 Is anyone hunting for the leaker?

00:11:54 With the same energy, they're seemingly hunting for the CEO?

00:11:58 fifth the calendar doesn't make sense the time story landed october 29th the midterms were

00:12:11 november 3rd three house chairmen sent their letter on the fourth the affair detail dropped

00:12:18 on the seventh nvidia reports earnings on the 17th congress wants him behind closed doors on the

00:12:26 18th. Okay. Coincidences happen. They do, but so do schedules. I want to know which one is this?

00:12:35 Is this a schedule or is this a coincidence? Sixth, the money. In early October,

00:12:46 who was buying protection against a NVIDIA drop? Because that happened.

00:12:54 who opened short positions in the weeks before the times went to print now that's not a conspiracy

00:13:01 theory that's a records request i want to know who bought short positions the trading data exists

00:13:12 someone should ask the secretary to look into it did anyone enrich themselves and when did they buy

00:13:18 those. Seventh, this guy's not just a chip salesman. He's one of the loudest voices for

00:13:27 open AI. Now, this is where to me this gets very interesting. Open AI is a model that anyone can

00:13:38 download and you'll run it on your own computer and you'll build anything on it without asking

00:13:43 anybody's permission the more people running their own ai the more chips nvidia sells that's good

00:13:50 but other companies like open ai like chat gpt they make their money keeping the most powerful

00:14:00 models closed you have to rent them by the minute you have to buy tokens to be able to do things on

00:14:09 them. They're controlled from the center. They're controlled by the big corporation.

00:14:16 He wasn't for any of that. He was for making it so you had control of AI, not the giant

00:14:25 corporations. Now, some of these giant corporations, one in particular, getting ready for Wall

00:14:32 Street. So who benefits if the champion of open AI is out and buried? Who benefits if Washington

00:14:43 decides this technology is just too dangerous to leave in people's hands? But those same

00:14:50 closed model companies run on NVIDIA chips. A wounded NVIDIA hurts them too.

00:14:56 but China gains

00:14:59 China gains from a weaker American champion

00:15:03 China loses if the exports tighten

00:15:07 the hawks get their argument

00:15:12 the short sellers get paid

00:15:13 and the beneficiaries point in every direction at once

00:15:18 except your direction

00:15:20 this is why this has to be 0.99

00:15:24 the only loser in this is you 0.99

00:15:26 it is the only loser is you the only loser is the future of america that's why this has to be asked 0.99

00:15:34 out loud now now now i'm not saying he's innocent but i'm also not saying as a spy he admits he 0.92

00:15:42 broke a vow i don't know this alice chick i don't know was she just was she working for the chinese

00:15:50 is she a spy or isn't she i don't know she hasn't been charged mega speed calls the reporting

00:15:57 misleading but that's china what do you expect them to say i don't know christian lamarco is he

00:16:05 a hero or a villain i don't know i know he was on this story long before anybody else was and he

00:16:10 printed it and no one cared at the time see there are two stories here two one is what happened

00:16:20 And the other is, why are we hearing about this right now?

00:16:26 Doesn't that seem curious to anybody?

00:16:29 The press is covering the first one wall to wall.

00:16:32 They'll be telling you all about this.

00:16:34 Who's covering the second one?

00:16:40 Maybe it is exactly what it looks like.

00:16:42 A real spy, a real investigation, and reporters who finally connected all the dots.

00:16:46 maybe something real got picked up by people who like the timing and then turned up the volume

00:16:54 or maybe what happened is real but somebody planned all of this the first two are absolutely

00:17:04 plausible the third needs evidence names and dates and coordination and i don't have that

00:17:09 nor does anybody else but it's worth asking the question because a secret that sits in a drawer

00:17:16 for a year and comes out in a week didn't climb out of that drawer on its own somebody opened

00:17:24 that drawer that drawer had been opened exposed nobody cared it went back in the excuse me back

00:17:31 in the drawer and close back up. Who opened the drawer and why a second time? The truth doesn't

00:17:40 have a release date. People, parties, politicians, companies, countries, they have release dates.

00:17:52 truth doesn't so when the next big story breaks about anybody on any side don't stop at is this

00:18:02 true because yeah this is true but what's true what part of this is true and more importantly

00:18:07 why today and who knew before and who gains then wait for the evidence before you go out and

00:18:15 spout off and hang anybody christian lamarco congratulations you had the picture in may

00:18:22 the picture didn't change but somebody's reason for caring did we need to find out

00:18:33 who whose reason changed who had reason to pull that thing back out of the drawer

00:18:45 More in just a second. Let me tell you about Mercury One. A country like ours can lose track

00:18:50 of its own story without losing a single document. All it takes is a generation that never learns why

00:18:55 those documents matter. You put a declaration in a display case, but if the ideas behind it

00:19:00 are never explained, eventually it just becomes an old piece of paper. That's one reason the

00:19:05 American journey experience is such an important part of what we do at Mercury One. We want people,

00:19:10 especially young people, to encounter the people, the decisions, the sacrifices, the principles that

00:19:15 shape this country history should challenge you it should make it um make you ask all of the hard

00:19:21 questions and give you the hard answers the ones you're like wait a minute wait a minute i don't

00:19:25 what does that mean and then you have to figure it out what does that mean it should remind you

00:19:30 that the freedoms you inherited are not inevitable but mercury one does more than preserve history

00:19:36 we also respond when families face disaster and people are persecuted for their faith i'm going

00:19:41 to be up with a guy uh from nigeria who's running for the presidency of nigeria next week in

00:19:47 washington we're doing a we're doing a meeting with him and everybody in washington um that

00:19:53 cares about christians being killed um with mercury one i'm going to be up there on monday

00:19:58 and hopefully i'll be doing a broadcast with him hopefully i'll have time to be able to do that

00:20:03 um but we are everywhere that we can be trying to make a difference and for 15 years supporters

00:20:10 have helped make all of this work possible. Will you join our family? I'd love for you to be a part

00:20:15 of what comes next. Go to mercuryone.org. That's mercuryone.org. 10 seconds, Station ID.

00:20:34 The air is starting to crisp and the days are getting shorter.

00:20:40 As the lights go up and the house fills with familiar voices, turn up the volume.

00:20:53 Cheyenne Grace. It's Christmas again. Now streaming everywhere.

00:21:02 I can't believe it. My daughter and I have worked on this for 18 months and it is out today and I

00:21:09 can't wait for you to hear it i can't wait for you to hear it if you're in the mood or you really

00:21:14 would like a break to be able to celebrate christmas we you know cheyenne and i wrote all

00:21:19 of the the music and the lyrics together uh and it's from our experience of christmas and we

00:21:25 wanted to make something that sounded like an old album sounded like something you grew up listening

00:21:30 to but it's all new um and it's available now it's christmas again you can get it wherever you

00:21:35 buy your music it's fun I can't wait to play track seven Glenn are you gonna play that later in the

00:21:42 show maybe next week maybe I should count my blessing yeah not next week guys it's coming

00:21:50 later we're gonna tie his hands or kick him out of the studio it's a song that Cheyenne and I did

00:21:56 together and uh uh we learned a lot about each other during that uh she said she had never heard

00:22:07 me sing seriously and we we've sung together forever and i used to sing her to sleep every

00:22:12 night until she was five and it when she said that i just i realized it today when i because

00:22:17 i got up at midnight to download the album and uh and i listened to that i listened to the whole

00:22:23 album. And I listened to that song and I thought, I used to sing to her every night and she doesn't

00:22:28 remember at all, you know. But one of our favorite Christmas songs is Count Your Blessings. And so

00:22:34 we did a father-daughter thing and that's track seven on the album. You can get it anyway. Get

00:22:39 it wherever you get your music. Now it's Cheyenne Grace. It's Christmas Again. Okay, more in just a

00:22:48 second um and i want to talk to i want to talk to young men uh about a about a very common fear

00:22:58 that i think most young men don't want to talk about because they think it's just them next

00:23:03 one of the challenge challenges taking care of dogs is you can't exactly you know sit him down

00:23:11 and say how do you feel how you feeling you can get him to sit on the couch but you can't get him

00:23:15 to confess anyway um you're not going to get a useful answer you have to just watch your dogs

00:23:21 dogs depend on you paying attention to their health and you can't you know they can't explain

00:23:27 that oh my joints are really hurting and that's that was one of the bad things with uh german

00:23:31 shepherds we've had german shepherds our whole life and um uh they die early and it's kind of

00:23:38 a blessing because they die around 12 and it's a blessing only for them because their hips get so

00:23:44 painful and watching watching uno and all of our shepherds towards the end of their life when they

00:23:50 just have a hard time you know jumping up into the car or they you know can't navigate the stairs or

00:23:55 even getting up it just breaks your heart there's a daily supplement now designed it's called friend

00:24:00 factor to support healthy mobility and your dog's natural inflammatory response it's a easy addition

00:24:07 to your routine it's a treat you give him once a day it's friend factor and you can get it at

00:24:12 relieffactor.com, relieffactor.com, 1-800, the number four relief.

00:24:18 Tonight at 5 p.m. Eastern, Torch Insiders get early access to Glenn's interview with

00:24:22 Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale. It's appointment viewing happening only at glennbeck.com slash torch.

00:24:42 your 401k today is being killed if you're invested at all in nvidia and tech nvidia

00:24:55 is down another 10 points today 10 today um already and the ceo just resigned i want to

00:25:05 thank him i'm glad i hope she was really good in bed because all of us are paying for her

00:25:13 uh but we have got lots of questions we're going to continue to ask them uh as we go on i you know

00:25:20 yesterday was um veterans day and i want to talk to you about this um if you if you talk to a man

00:25:27 you know who's been to war uh and you ask them were you scared at all not the movie answer the

00:25:36 real answer were you were you afraid every honest vet that i have ever met says the same thing

00:25:43 yeah i was terrified but what choice do you you go you go you stuff it down and you go

00:25:50 mark twain once said uh courage is resistance to fear mastery of fear not the absence of fear

00:25:59 mastery of fear which brings me to what i really want to talk to you about um yesterday i talked

00:26:06 about you know the fact that you're born for these times we all are we're born for this

00:26:11 um but we don't we doubt ourselves and we don't know how to get there and we stop ourselves and

00:26:16 And this is something that I want to next year.

00:26:19 I'm really going to concentrate.

00:26:21 I'm writing a lot right now about men and boys and what the difference is and how we get there.

00:26:28 And yesterday I talked to, you know, I talked about the guy who just comes home and he sits in his truck or sits in his car for a while.

00:26:38 Engines off.

00:26:39 The phone is lit.

00:26:40 He's not ready to go in.

00:26:41 And yesterday I talked about, you know, because he's tired of not being the guy being almost man, you know, not not who he is being almost.

00:26:54 And I was thinking about it last night and, you know, for a lot of people.

00:27:00 It's not it's not that it's fear.

00:27:04 And nobody, especially guys, nobody will say that out loud because men are not supposed to be afraid.

00:27:11 So let me go first. I have been afraid of failing most of my life. And I've also been afraid of succeeding. And the second one sounds crazy until or unless you felt it.

00:27:32 if you're the guy in the car you're not imagining it and you're not alone gallup recently looked at

00:27:40 young men 15 to 34 one in four say they feel lonely a lot of the day nearly half said they

00:27:49 worry every single day so you know worrying every single day you're 15 to 30 worrying every day

00:27:57 that's more than older Americans worry and much more than young men in nearly every other well-off

00:28:04 country on earth. People don't worry this much. And there are millions, millions of men in their

00:28:12 driveway, millions of driveways every day worrying. And the saddest thing, and I learned this because

00:28:21 I'm an alcoholic, I hid much of my life and my drinking and everything else. And then you stop

00:28:27 hiding because you just are like, I can't deal with this anymore. We always feel alone. We feel

00:28:32 like we're the only one that feels this way. Read Plato, man, that people have been feeling this way

00:28:39 forever. But the fear of failure, I think we all understand. You try, you fall on your face,

00:28:45 Everybody sees it. So I'm just not going to try. Psychologists have a name for the sneaky version of this. It's called self-handicapping. You cripple yourself so you don't succeed. And you do those in ways like you don't study for the test. So if you fail, it wasn't really you. It was the not studying. It wasn't me.

00:29:11 you never really go for the job or the girl or the business or the comeback because you don't

00:29:18 want to fail and if you never really try you never really lose but the problem with that is

00:29:24 you never really live either but everybody's watching right everybody's watching researchers

00:29:33 at cornell had college students put on a t-shirt and they were like what is the most embarrassing

00:29:38 thing we can get a college guy to put on a t-shirt and they decided it was barry manilow's face

00:29:43 and poor barry manilow so they put a t-shirt with with barry manilow's face on it because the

00:29:50 student said that's embarrassing and then they walked him into a room full of their peers and

00:29:54 afterwards they asked the kids wearing the t-shirts how much of the room noticed your shirt

00:30:00 they said half the room was staring at me the real number was about a quarter

00:30:07 Now, what does that tell us?

00:30:09 That tells us that we think the spotlight is on us all the time.

00:30:14 That's not true.

00:30:16 Most people are too busy worrying about their own T-shirt that they're wearing.

00:30:22 And the disaster that you're bracing for, there was another small study out at Penn State.

00:30:27 They took chronic worriers, people who worry all the time, but I think we're all becoming chronic worriers.

00:30:32 and we said write down all of your worries and then check back in 30 days more than 90 percent

00:30:39 of what people wrote down never happened and of the few that did about a third of those

00:30:45 turned out to be much better than they had expected there's a roman philosopher who wrote

00:30:53 uh um it was a couple thousand years ago we suffer more often in imagination than in reality

00:31:01 nothing has changed except the size of the screen we do it on fear of success

00:31:09 however is stranger the guy who did maslow's you know uh hierarchy of needs um he said he

00:31:20 saw it so often in people the fear of success that he gave it a different name he called it

00:31:26 the Jonah complex is after the, you know, Jonah, you know, who didn't do what he was called to do.

00:31:33 So Maslow wrote, we fear our highest possibilities. Listen to this. We are afraid to become the man

00:31:41 we glimpse in our best moments. Now, why would anyone be afraid of winning? Why would anyone

00:31:48 be afraid of being your your best self it's amazing you're afraid of it because success

00:31:56 raises the bar and then you can't lower it again not for others but more importantly for yourself

00:32:03 if you actually lose the weight if you actually get sober you start the company you become the

00:32:09 husband that you always hoped you'd be now you have to keep being that guy every single day

00:32:14 because success, it's proof.

00:32:19 Now, it's going to cost you some old friends,

00:32:21 the ones who liked you better when you were stuck with them.

00:32:25 But that voice in the back of your head keeps asking,

00:32:28 who do you think you are?

00:32:29 Who do you think you are?

00:32:31 That's a lie.

00:32:34 But once you prove you can,

00:32:36 you no longer can say, I can't do it.

00:32:38 I couldn't do it.

00:32:40 Because you did it.

00:32:41 So failure threatens what you have.

00:32:44 But success threatens your excuses, and most of us are comfortable living in excuses.

00:32:52 I'm going to talk about this slightly next hour where I'm talking about, everybody's

00:32:58 talking about affordability, and everybody's arguing about what affordability, they're

00:33:02 arguing the wrong thing.

00:33:03 They're arguing excuses.

00:33:05 I want to find the real reason, not the excuse.

00:33:09 when i started the world's first online network everyone said it was impossible impossible

00:33:19 and i have to tell you there were days where i thought it is impossible we're never going to make

00:33:24 it and i knew that if i failed it would be humiliating because all of the people who

00:33:33 wanted to dance on my grave would hold a massive party and it would be just a massive humiliation

00:33:39 but also there were times when i was afraid i would succeed because the company is built kind

00:33:47 of you know around me and i'd have to carry it and both both fears taught me something

00:33:54 or no didn't teach me can tried to convince me that I should accept just stay in the car

00:34:03 the car is safe nothing bad happens in the car nothing nothing nothing bad everything's going

00:34:09 to be great just stay where you are well nothing bad happens there but nothing happens there

00:34:16 eventually nothing good happens there the same Cornell psychologist who did the t-shirt study

00:34:22 he started studying regret and in the short run we regret the things that we did but the longer

00:34:29 we live the more of regrets drift towards the things we never did that we never tried that

00:34:36 we dismissed you get over the face plant but it's the door that you never opened that follows you

00:34:43 around for the rest of your life this goes to teddy roosevelt uh teddy roosevelt you know in

00:34:49 the arena the that poem you know the credit belongs to the man in the arena whose face is

00:34:55 marred by dust and sweat and blood who if he fails at least fails while daring greatly

00:35:01 so that his place will never be with those cold and timid souls who neither knew victory nor defeat

00:35:09 wow cold and timid that's what the car does to a man that's what that couch does to a man a little

00:35:20 bit at a time so let me give you a couple of things on how to get out of the car first say

00:35:27 it out loud not on the internet to one man you trust you know what i'm really i'm afraid i'm

00:35:33 gonna blow this i'm afraid whatever it is just say it out loud fear grows in the dark it shrinks

00:35:38 the moment another man says yeah i know me too and then write it down do what those warriors did

00:35:45 at penn state put a date on it and check back in a month make your fear make your fear keep a track

00:35:54 record because it's going to lose every time it will then shrink the step you don't have to climb

00:36:01 the mountain tonight you just have to open the car door make the one call send the application

00:36:07 walk into the meeting, talk to the girl, pick the one thing you can do before your head hits

00:36:13 the pillow tonight, one thing, and decide who it's for. Because fear is always about you.

00:36:22 Purpose is always about them. The kid asleep down the hall, the wife who has been waiting for you

00:36:32 to come back. The grandson that you've not met. Somebody in your life needs you to be the man

00:36:40 that you're afraid to become. Be that man. You were born for this. Also expect it to be hard.

00:36:50 You know, Frederick Douglass said, if there is no struggle, there's no progress.

00:36:54 That's part of it. Struggle isn't proof that you're on the wrong road. Usually, unfortunately,

00:37:01 it's proof you're on the right road just don't do it alone and i think that's the whole point

00:37:09 of what i want to do next year this mission of men i'm calling born for this you gotta we gotta

00:37:15 find our guys two or three men who will call you when you go quiet and tell you the truth

00:37:21 when you start making excuses we have to have those people in our lives

00:37:25 if you believe what i believe you were never sent into the arena alone you weren't the god who made

00:37:34 you didn't build you for the car he built you for what's on the other side of that door

00:37:38 the door you're most afraid to open is usually the one you were built to walk through

00:37:45 all those veterans that we were thanking yesterday

00:37:50 they're not fearless men

00:37:53 they were afraid

00:37:54 but they moved

00:37:56 you don't have to storm a beach

00:37:59 you just have to get out of the car

00:38:02 so turn off the phone

00:38:04 turn off the game

00:38:06 open the door

00:38:07 and walk in

00:38:08 somebody inside has been waiting

00:38:11 a long time for the man

00:38:13 you're afraid to become

00:38:16 remember

00:38:19 you were born for this more in a minute

00:38:24 if you bought a house back when mortgage rates were two or three percent congratulations you

00:38:32 made one of the best financial decisions of your life you spent years building equity into that

00:38:38 house and now if you want to access some of that to pay off high interest debt or handle major

00:38:42 expenses the traditional answer is you got to refinance your mortgage don't do that don't

00:38:47 You'll trade that beautiful low rate for a much higher one.

00:39:19 ago.

00:39:20 Now, borrowing against your home is a serious decision, and it's not always the right thing.

00:39:24 You have to look carefully at the numbers, but you've got a great mortgage.

00:39:46 when you send your daughter to play sports you expect her to face competition you know there's

00:40:05 a possibility she's going to get hurt and that's part of sports but you also expect that people

00:40:09 responsible for her safety are honest about who she's competing against in washington state a 0.96

00:40:15 high school sophomore named Kaylee Keeler says she was sexually assaulted during a wrestling

00:40:21 tournament. Only afterward did she learn that her opponent was a biological male who identifies as

00:40:27 a girl. Washington's policies allow male athletes to compete in girls' high school sports without 0.93

00:40:33 requiring schools to disclose the information to the girls who are competing against them or to

00:40:37 their parents. Well, now, Kaylee is fighting back. With the help of Alliance Defending Freedom, 1.00

00:40:43 She's challenging that policy and pursuing her case at the Supreme Court.

00:40:46 This is about the safety of your daughter and my daughter, the rights of parents,

00:40:50 and whether schools can withhold information that families deserve to have.

00:41:28 we'll try to get that monologue up on glennbeck.com later today i you know i'm i'm i'm i'm

00:41:35 it's weird because i'm specifically talking to men and i'm talking to young men specifically

00:41:42 because nobody is saying these things to to them um and every time i've done one here in the last

00:41:49 few weeks you have said you've related and said that is so important for women and i'm like but

00:41:55 i wrote it for men it's just i guess it's just universal fear is a universal universal experience

00:42:02 that all humans have and it's a motivating and demotivating thing and i don't know i'll tell you

00:42:08 later off air why that resonated with me i'm not gonna admit it to the world right now yeah you

00:42:14 have fear it's just i didn't know i did until you did that model and i'm like oh crap that's for me

00:42:19 that's so weird thank you it's so you know it is honestly i learned this when i was an alcoholic

00:42:24 um i sober up and i start saying who i really am the mistakes i made on the air this is back

00:42:30 in the 90s and this is why i had no fear when i was you know when media matters and everybody

00:42:35 he was investigating me, because I had already just went and blabbed all of my sins out on the

00:42:40 world. And when I first did it, I thought I was ending my career. The first time I said something,

00:42:48 I said something pretty shocking about me, and I thought I would end my career. And I looked at

00:42:53 Stu. He was just a board op at the time, and I said, write this down on your calendar. This is

00:42:56 the day Glenn Beck ended his career. The opposite happened. I started seeing people come up to me,

00:43:01 and they'd whisper, I can't believe you said that on the air.

00:43:04 I'm exactly like that.

00:43:06 And I thought it was just me.

00:43:07 We're all alike.

00:43:08 We're all alike.

00:43:09 Stop hiding it.

00:45:21 is on the fusion of entertainment enlightenment and empowerment this is the glenn beck program

00:45:43 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:45:53 We have a lot to talk about.

00:45:54 One of the things I want to address today is, again, affordability.

00:45:58 Because we seem to have a problem with understanding affordability on all sides.

00:46:04 I have been talking about how Van Jones has used affordability to lie to you.

00:46:11 He didn't lie to you about affordability.

00:46:13 affordability to trouble to make ends meet is real. I've been saying that for six months. I've

00:46:18 been begging the GOP to talk to the people who are having a hard time filling their gas tank

00:46:25 because affordability is real. But I want to point out that what Van Jones and the Democrats did

00:46:33 was take that real concern and turn it into a political opportunity and tell you, yeah, see,

00:46:41 this doesn't work. What we're doing does work. And it was a lie. Now John Kerry is out saying that

00:46:48 the message the Democrats got was that you want more green energy. You think that's going to

00:46:54 lower your gas prices? So he turned it, twisted it and lied about it. And now everybody's yelling

00:47:02 at each other about, well, you know, you just don't care about the port. Can we, can we stop

00:47:07 all this please let's focus in on the problem instead of accusing each other of but you don't

00:47:14 get it you do get it whatever let's look at the problem because that's the one thing i think most

00:47:21 politicians don't want you to hone in on what actually caused the problem the the affordability

00:47:27 problem and how do we fix it we're going to do that in 60 seconds first let me tell you about

00:47:31 simply safe never understood the confidence of some burglars here's a guy who's about to commit

00:47:36 a felony and he's acting like he's the smartest person in the neighborhood he figures nobody's

00:47:40 home nobody's watching and you know he can take his sweet time well congratulations einstein you

00:47:45 may have just walked into one of the most embarrassing afternoons of your criminal career

00:47:49 hope you like gray shirts and iron bars because simply safe has delivered home security technology

00:47:54 that can do a whole lot more than just set off a siren their advanced cameras professional

00:48:00 monitoring live u.s based security specialists can be alerted to suspicious activity and in

00:48:06 certain situations intervene while it's happening so while our criminal mastermind is busy

00:48:11 congratulating himself on finding an empty house there may be an actual human being watching that

00:48:17 is not at the house he's watching him take steps uh towards the front door and then the guy watching

00:48:24 takes steps to the phone to call police and then alert hey you you might want to not try to break

00:48:30 that window because we already have you on tape and the police are on the way simply safe best

00:48:34 deal of the year, 70% off your news system with professional monitoring. Visit simplysafe.com

00:48:39 slash Beck, simplysafe.com slash Beck. All right, so let's talk about affordability.

00:48:48 A poll of young voters reported this year, 74% say the cost of housing in America

00:48:54 has reached a crisis, not a problem, a crisis. And it has. In New York this spring,

00:49:02 crowds march demanding a freeze on rent uh and across the country socialist candidates you know

00:49:07 had their villains picked out you know greedy landlords and wall street investors and developers

00:49:13 and republicans of course donald trump donald trump donald trump if you're 25 i don't need to

00:49:20 tell you the crisis is real you're living it you have roommates you didn't plan on having

00:49:25 you've done the math on a house and you close the app you're like well not going to get a house

00:49:30 so instead of blaming the democrats or the republicans or whatever can can we actually

00:49:36 have a conversation on who actually did this what is the actual problem at the end of 2019

00:49:44 the median price of a new home in america was 331 000 by the middle of this year it was 411

00:49:54 thousand dollars almost eighty thousand dollars more in six years that's not inflation what the

00:50:01 hell happened there did landlords suddenly discover greed in 2020 did did the landlord

00:50:08 discover all of a sudden greed because donald trump was in office no something else happened

00:50:13 in 2020 now what was it well in march of that year the federal reserve cut its key interest rate

00:50:20 to zero, and it kept it there for two years. Then it went further. It created trillions of

00:50:28 new dollars and used a huge chunk of that to buy mortgage bonds on purpose, to push mortgage rates

00:50:35 down. Why? They did that so the economy wouldn't collapse during the lockdowns. Now, you can argue

00:50:43 that may have made sense for a few months, but the Fed kept its foot on the gas for two full years

00:50:49 long after the emergency passed. But it worked. In January 2021, the average 30-year mortgage

00:50:56 hit 2.65%. That's the lowest ever recorded. And that sounds, I mean, that's a gift, right?

00:51:03 No, it's not. When money is almost free, every buyer can suddenly afford a bigger loan.

00:51:11 So every buyer shows up. Families, investors, people buying a second house, and they're all

00:51:18 bidding on the same houses because you can't build a neighborhood over a weekend. We stopped

00:51:23 building houses because that's what the government kind of encouraged everybody to do after the big

00:51:30 crash. So it becomes an auction and the government just handed every bidder in the room a bigger

00:51:37 paddle. The houses didn't change. The bids did because everybody had more fake money in their

00:51:44 hands. And then came the hangover. All that cheap money helps set off the worst inflation in 40

00:51:50 years. So in 2022, the same Fed slammed rates back up. Today, mortgages run about six and a half

00:51:58 percent. And now everybody's like, wait a minute, I can't afford that. Do the math on a $400,000

00:52:02 home. OK, at two point six, five percent, your payments about sixteen hundred dollars a month

00:52:07 At six and a half, it's $2,500.

00:52:10 Same house, almost $900 more every single month for 30 years.

00:52:16 Why? 0.71

00:52:17 Because the Fed made cheap money, because the government wanted it.

00:52:21 So your generation got hit twice.

00:52:25 First, cheap money drove all the prices up.

00:52:28 Then expensive money locked you out of that house on higher prices.

00:52:32 And then it got worse because millions of owners who grabbed those houses at two and a half percent, they're not going to sell.

00:52:40 Why would they trade a three percent mortgage for six?

00:52:43 So the houses you want may never even hit the market.

00:52:46 Nobody wants to nobody wants to get a new loan.

00:52:49 That wasn't the landlord.

00:52:52 That was the central bank, the Federal Reserve.

00:52:56 now big investment firms are they buying houses yeah yeah in some neighborhoods they've been

00:53:06 really aggressive but ask why wall street wanted your smarter home in the first place

00:53:12 why did they want that starter home why do they want it because washington made borrowing nearly

00:53:18 free and your city made building nearly impossible. So that means houses were scarce

00:53:26 and the money is cheap. What does that do? That means the biggest wallet wins.

00:53:34 The investor didn't create the game. He just played it better than you could because he had

00:53:41 more money. So now do we punish the investor? Do we scream at the investor and say, look at you,

00:53:47 you greedy SOB or do we say what caused this and how can we fix this? Now, second half of the story,

00:53:57 why not just build more houses? Because in most of America, it's illegal to build what you need.

00:54:05 The National Association of Home Builders, their estimates show regulation adds $94,000 to the

00:54:13 price of a new home. That's permits, fees, delays, codes. Then there's zoning in huge stretches of

00:54:20 American cities. The law says one house per plot, no duplex, no townhouse, no small apartment

00:54:26 building, minimum lot size, parking requirements, years of hearings. The starter home, the kind your

00:54:33 grandparents bought at 24, has been regulated nearly out of existence, not by the market,

00:54:39 by city councils, you know, the meetings none of us go to.

00:54:45 So then the socialists step in with a fix.

00:54:49 Rent control, freeze the rent.

00:54:53 Well, that sounds kind, right?

00:54:55 For the person already in the apartment, it helps.

00:54:58 But economists at Stanford studied what happened

00:55:01 when San Francisco expanded rent controls.

00:55:04 landlords covered by the new rules cut the number of rental units they offered by about 15 percent

00:55:13 they turned apartments into condos and then they sold them they got out so fewer apartments meant 0.99

00:55:19 higher rents for everybody still looking because they sold the condos because the marxists stepped

00:55:24 in rent control protects the person who already has the key it punishes the person still knocking

00:55:32 at the door. If you're 23, you're still knocking. It's musical chairs. That's all it is. Rent

00:55:39 control doesn't add a chair. It glues the people already sitting into their seats. And then it

00:55:45 quietly just takes the few chairs that are left away. And the music keeps playing. And more and

00:55:50 more of us are walking around the table going, what the hell? There's not even a chair at the

00:55:53 table. See, this is why nobody wants to have this conversation. Because you start to see what the

00:56:01 real problem is and then it requires courage to actually stand up and be the politician to say

00:56:09 okay i know what this is you're gonna go against the central banks good luck that's what they'll 0.76

00:56:15 tell you that's what they'll tell you good luck well damn right damn right i i'm tired of being

00:56:21 controlled by the big banks in the federal reserve i'm tired of it they should be audited

00:56:26 there why are they above the law why are they even messing with any of this stuff

00:56:34 okay so what actually works building that's what actually works building more homes build build

00:56:42 build and it doesn't take a miracle it's already happened minneapolis loosened its rules and let

00:56:49 people build from 2017 to 2022 the city grew its housing supply by 12 percent now what's that going

00:56:57 to do to rent according to pew rent in minneapolis rose one percent over that stretch while they rose

00:57:04 14 in the rest of minnesota do you want to pay 14 more or one percent more all you have to do is

00:57:13 build nothing nobody froze any anything nobody seized anything there was no marxism involved

00:57:20 they just got out of the way and let the market work the free market is the answer

00:57:27 and it's the only one that has ever made housing cheaper for any period of time when builders

00:57:33 compete for renters renters win when the government decides who gets to build what they get to build

00:57:40 where they get to build, when they get to build.

00:57:42 The people who already own something win.

00:57:45 And you who don't have a house, you who's trying to have a starter home, you wait.

00:57:51 And the same government that created the shortage is now asking for more power to fix it.

00:57:57 The people who create the problem cannot fix the problem.

00:58:00 That's the arsonist that wants to run the fire department.

00:58:02 so if you want to change you want to change this don't join the marxist or the republican club

00:58:13 go to a city council meeting just one watch what happens when somebody proposes building 40

00:58:20 townhouses watch who shows up to stop it it's not going to be a wall street banker

00:58:27 It'll be your neighbors, the politicians who need their votes.

00:58:32 That's where your house is being decided.

00:58:35 Bring a friend, speak for two minutes.

00:58:38 And to the parents, especially those of us who already own a home,

00:58:43 some of that zoning is protecting our property values at our children's own expenses.

00:58:48 We should be honest about that as well.

00:58:50 We should look into what Houston does.

00:58:52 Houston is the only major city in America that doesn't have zoning requirements, and it works fine.

00:58:59 There is no zoning committee in Houston, and it's fine.

00:59:04 Why do we insist on having one everywhere else?

00:59:08 If you want your grandchildren to live in your town, somebody has to be allowed to build them a house.

00:59:15 We had our chance at 24.

00:59:17 They deserve theirs.

00:59:18 because this is true about housing and almost everything else.

00:59:23 You can't share your way out of a shortage.

00:59:26 You have to build your way out.

00:59:30 The landlord is not the one that made money cheap.

00:59:33 The landlord isn't the one that wrote the zoning code.

00:59:37 Find the people who did and vote accordingly.

00:59:42 More in a minute.

00:59:43 helping somebody make an important decision requires reaching them while they're still

00:59:49 making it and that's true in almost every area of life and it's especially important for

00:59:54 organizations trying to help women who are facing an unplanned pregnancy the abortion pill has

00:59:59 changed the timeline a woman may never visit an abortion facility which means the old assumptions

01:00:05 about where she can be reached no longer hold this is a real problem in the future pre-born

01:02:05 your music um i want to i want to do something most people would never expect me to do i didn't

01:02:12 expect me to do until i saw this video um let me defend joe biden here for a second um yesterday

01:02:20 he was in at a university in dublin in ireland and he gets out and the palestinian flags and

01:02:28 everybody's chanting blood on your hands and they were you know fighting with police officers and

01:02:33 they start pelting him um do we have the video let's play the video here

01:02:37 and they're throwing they're throwing milk at the president

01:02:50 you know what i've had enough of this i've really had enough of this

01:02:57 shut the f up about our president he's our president not yours he's the president of

01:03:05 the united states i don't care if you like him or not and i say that i especially say that to 0.98

01:03:12 overseas back off our president and i don't care which one we're talking about back off of our

01:03:18 president uh and i say it here too you know this president this in the last 10 days has had three

01:03:24 to five actual active people coming to kill him in the White House,

01:03:31 back off the president of the United States.

01:03:35 And I would say that about the next president of the United States

01:03:38 if he's a flaming liberal.

01:03:41 Doesn't matter.

01:03:42 It's the president.

01:03:44 Enough is enough.

01:03:49 Now, let me talk about John Kerry.

01:03:53 Listen to what John Kerry said.

01:03:54 If you voted for affordability, let me ask you, is this what you're getting?

01:03:58 Listen to John Kerry, what he just said.

01:04:00 And the fact that one week ago today in the United States, people made climate change and its exigencies a voting issue.

01:04:14 Did they? I didn't see that anywhere.

01:04:18 i i don't know i don't know a single person i haven't i haven't seen that on tv i haven't seen

01:04:27 that in a poll i haven't seen that in my own life i have not met a single person who has said

01:04:32 yeah you know what i was really voting for i was sending the message um we need more green energy

01:04:37 stuff uh no they were voting against one of the main things they say was gas prices green energy

01:04:47 does not make gas prices go down john again i can't take the lies that that is that's the real

01:04:55 problem with this is i just can't take the lies and both sides do it but this they've they have

01:05:02 made lying they've taken it to an art form you know one thing you could say donald trump lies

01:05:08 all the time you know if let me give you the benefit of the doubt on that one and say okay

01:05:13 but is it artful the way he does it is it because this is an art form for the left

01:05:23 they lied about affordability not that it's happening about the solution they said they

01:05:31 left out all of the stats that show our gdp by the end of the year should be at five percent 0.81

01:05:39 that is a that is recovery like you can't believe you know when china was really chugging i mean 1.00

01:05:46 really taking over the world do you know what their gdp was eight eight percent we're at five 0.92

01:05:53 come on guys but they left all of that stuff out because they wanted to tell you that republicans

01:06:02 bad democrats good affordability democrats good well there's your democrat is that going to help

01:06:08 your affordability that's the lie that we have to get on to affordability not that affordability

01:06:15 is real or isn't real of course it's real let's have the discussion of what to do about it and

01:06:22 why we're upset about it is because they manipulated people and lied to them i'm tired

01:06:29 of being manipulated all right my patriot supply weather forecasters have the greatest job in the

01:06:34 world don't they they can tell you it's 30 chance of rain and by the time the local news gets

01:06:39 finished you're expecting the book of revelation you know tie yourself to something build an arc

01:06:44 they've got the dramatic music and the red graphics and the reporter standing in a parking

01:06:48 lot looking very concerned and then of course there's a traditional american response everybody

01:06:54 goes to the grocery store you know get more toilet paper and canned ravioli just you know

01:06:58 because jesus might come back because we got a lot of rain or a lot of snow coming and then it never

01:07:02 happens every once in a while the forecast is really bad and when the major storm or another

01:07:08 emergency disrupts normal life that's the time where you figure out did i have enough food clean

01:07:14 water i mean that time has passed for me to go to the store that's why i recommend my patriot supply

01:07:18 they specialize in long-term emergency food storage and other practical supplies that can

01:07:23 help your family be better prepared for the unexpected and believe me the on it the the

01:07:28 unexpected is coming please go to prepare with glenn.com prepare with glenn.com do it now

01:07:37 we have the perfect christmas gift for that freedom loving person in your life over at

01:07:43 glennbeckshop.com torch insiders with an annual plan get 10 off every order go there now

01:07:58 the uh there's a story that is circulating now um that is full of numbers about this program

01:08:22 And it's pretty shocking. It's really pretty shocking.

01:08:26 Over the last 28 days, our long form videos on YouTube were watched by were watched 40.7 million times.

01:08:38 To put that number into perspective, that was either just above or tied with Joe, just above with Joe Rogan.

01:08:46 This program, just above Joe Rogan's views on YouTube, across Facebook, X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, 446 million impressions, 50 million unique viewers, 50 million people just on social media.

01:09:08 That's not counting radio or anything else. Edison Research says the weekly audience on radio has been up 11% since 2024 on more than 430 stations nationwide. But if you look since we began this mission of the torch, Nielsen now says that this show is beating the average ratings of the stations that carry it by 30%. That's unheard of.

01:09:32 even media matters which has never been mistaken for my fan club went encountered the youtube

01:09:40 views and had to admit the audience is growing and i think they only admitted that because

01:09:43 they see us as a growing threat to the mission of the left and the people who you know wrote

01:09:50 this story did a really good job but they got one thing wrong they put my name in the headline

01:09:55 because these are not my numbers.

01:09:58 They are your numbers.

01:10:01 Next year, I will have been in radio for 50 years,

01:10:05 and I know what a spike like this usually means in this business.

01:10:09 It means somebody found a new way to make you angry

01:10:12 because outrage is the cheapest fuel there is,

01:10:15 and most of this industry runs on it.

01:10:18 But that's not what happened here.

01:10:21 When we launched the torch about a year ago,

01:10:24 we did what every consultant in america will tell you don't do

01:10:29 i asked more of you not less we said we weren't just going to tell you what happened today we

01:10:37 were going to ask you to understand why i was going to ask you i've asked you over and over

01:10:41 again you got to take two things and hold them and i know this is really hard but you got to do

01:10:46 this you got to do that you got to look at it this way to to go and learn history and then teach it

01:10:51 to your kids, to get stronger in body, mind, and spirit, to prepare, to be a better man,

01:10:58 a better woman, a better neighbor, a better American, to stop waiting on Washington and

01:11:03 start building something where you live. 0.99

01:11:06 I got to tell you, that's a hard sell.

01:11:09 You know, homework never went viral.

01:11:13 And yet you show up anyway, more of you than ever in my life.

01:11:21 I think I know who you are.

01:11:24 You're the truck driver who has been on the road between Amarillo and Albuquerque.

01:11:30 You're the mom who listens in the kitchen while she's packing the lunches.

01:11:34 You're the guy in the shop with the radio on the workbench.

01:11:38 You're the grandma who prints out transcripts for her Bible study.

01:11:41 and now more than ever, more and more and more

01:11:45 are the 24-year-olds who have found us on YouTube

01:11:49 and have never turned on an AM radio in their life.

01:11:55 Some of you have been with me for 25 years.

01:11:58 You've heard me at my best. You've heard me at my worst.

01:12:01 You've heard me be wrong. You've heard me admit that I was wrong.

01:12:05 Some of you walked away for a while and then came back

01:12:08 And you didn't owe that to me.

01:12:10 And I've never taken that for granted.

01:12:12 I never will.

01:12:14 You, to me, are not an audience.

01:12:18 An audience watches.

01:12:20 You build.

01:12:21 I watch you.

01:12:23 When a flood takes a town, you don't wait to be asked twice.

01:12:29 You don't even really wait to be asked.

01:12:31 When a Christian family is trapped on the wrong side of a border in the Middle East or now in Africa with nowhere to run,

01:12:37 you've paid their way out you've saved them

01:12:42 this summer we asked you to read the founding documents you read them

01:12:47 you read them to your kids i get letters i get the pictures of the kitchen table with

01:12:52 the declaration of independence spread out next to the cereal bowls you're poor kids

01:12:56 you know we don't talk about this as much but this is a mission we we as a group we're on a

01:13:07 but each of our families are too. My family, we've talked about this many times. It's our

01:13:13 mission as a family to leave the world a better place wherever we can. And sometimes that means

01:13:20 volunteering. Sometimes that means giving money. I want to show you the impact of what happens.

01:13:30 Around 20% of what I make goes to charity. Tanya and I have, we are going to die broke.

01:13:37 And we want to give all of our money away.

01:13:39 I hope to die broke.

01:13:41 It's intentional. 0.79

01:13:42 I mean, some people die broke because they made bad decisions.

01:13:45 And I may die broke that way too.

01:13:46 But it's my intention to die broke because we've given it all away.

01:13:53 Also, at least 10% of everything this company makes goes out the door to people who educate, rescue, heal, empower, feed, help moms.

01:14:07 I'm not sure how many shows do that, but I encourage them to do it.

01:14:13 And I tell you this because I want you to see the scope.

01:14:16 You take the money that this show makes from subscriptions and T-shirts and candles and record sales,

01:14:23 and you couple that with what you give, not just here, but in your private life.

01:14:28 How much do you give in your private life?

01:14:32 By the way, this doesn't include all of the give-send-goes that you do as an audience.

01:14:37 Our last one for Don, remember the 81-year-old guy in Dallas?

01:14:41 It was working at 81 just so he could pay his wife's cancer treatment.

01:14:48 What was that final number?

01:14:51 300 and...

01:14:51 Over 370,000.

01:14:53 370,000 from you.

01:14:55 This audience is a giant crater.

01:14:59 The impact for good is...

01:15:03 It's remarkable.

01:15:07 you are humbling and remarkable people.

01:15:14 When all is said and done,

01:15:17 at this point,

01:15:19 we're approaching half a billion dollars

01:15:24 in giving.

01:15:26 That's your generosity.

01:15:30 And because of you,

01:15:33 another impact you're making,

01:15:35 good American jobs are being created because we're on this journey together. We're hiring

01:15:41 right now. I've been talking to some other, you know, people in this industry. Everybody's firing

01:15:46 people. AI is coming in and I made a promise. I said, we're going to use AI guys, but I'm not

01:15:51 going to fire people. We're going to add people. And because of you, while everybody else is

01:15:55 handing out pink slips, we're bringing on writers and artists and producers and historians. We have

01:16:00 job openings right now unfortunately we have well we just hired an extra security personnel

01:16:07 protectors as i call them because that's part of today's life but these every one of these jobs

01:16:12 exists because you decided this was worth your time those are real families paying real mortgages

01:16:18 It's because of you.

01:16:24 I have been given, given far more in this life than I've ever earned.

01:16:34 I know what I've earned and I know what I have been given.

01:16:37 And the scales aren't even close.

01:16:39 and i'm trying to be as responsible as i possibly can because i want you to know we'll make it

01:16:51 together we're here for each other it's amazing because there were there have been so many years

01:16:57 where everybody was writing my obituary oh my gosh it was like every month glenn beck is going to be

01:17:02 out of business this month every every month for like five years you know and sometimes some months

01:17:09 they had good reason to believe that. But every time it was you who picked this thing up off the

01:17:14 floor, not a network, not a sponsor. It was you. Somebody in my business asked me the other day,

01:17:23 they saw these numbers and they said, why do you think this is happening? Why? I mean,

01:17:27 bigger than Joe Rogan? What? How is that happening on YouTube? And I'm like, I don't know.

01:17:36 but i think it's because people are hungry not for another hot take god there's so many hot

01:17:44 takes out there i can't i can't take it people are hungry for the truth i know i am i want to

01:17:49 understand history so do you i want to know i'm not crazy that i'm not seeing the world and i'm

01:17:58 sitting here all by myself looking at it no and you don't want to feel alone either

01:18:02 and most of all i i want to do good i want to do something i don't want to be i can be mad about

01:18:09 oh the world will provide me with stuff to be mad about all day long can somebody help me do

01:18:16 something good can somebody help me do something that is positive

01:18:21 that's the whole mission of the torch to remind you that you have

01:18:30 you have far more power to shape the future

01:18:39 than anyone will lead you to believe

01:18:41 and not the power of the mob

01:18:43 but the power of the dad who shows up

01:18:46 the power of a mom who just teaches

01:18:48 a neighbor who knows your name

01:18:51 the church that speaks the truth from the pulpit

01:18:57 and feeds people

01:18:58 a town that takes care of its own

01:19:00 that kind of power doesn't trend

01:19:03 but it doesn't need to

01:19:05 it lasts

01:19:06 whatever you build to be seen

01:19:09 will fall

01:19:10 whatever you build to serve

01:19:12 will stand

01:19:14 and that's the only test I care about

01:19:17 for my company

01:19:18 I don't care about the views

01:19:19 not the impressions

01:19:20 I don't care what somebody puts in

01:19:22 New York puts us on some chart

01:19:25 what I take away

01:19:29 is that we're actually beginning to accomplish what I hope, that we serve you.

01:19:34 Because that's the question I ask.

01:19:36 Are we serving the listener?

01:19:38 Did your kids learn something true?

01:19:40 Did you walk away from any of the shows, anything that we do,

01:19:43 a little more hopeful or a little more ready to do the next thing that's right?

01:19:48 And if the answer is no, you should turn me off.

01:19:50 And I mean that.

01:19:51 Turn it off.

01:19:53 And if it ever becomes about me, you have my permission to walk out the door

01:19:56 and tell me why you're walking out the door.

01:19:59 because this was never supposed to be about me.

01:20:02 I don't want it to be about me.

01:20:06 A torch is not meant to be held by one man.

01:20:11 It is meant to be passed on.

01:20:17 My job is just to keep it lit long enough

01:20:19 to put it into your hands,

01:20:21 and yours is to put it in your hands of your children.

01:20:24 so to the drivers and the nurses and the teachers and the farmers and the ones who have been here

01:20:31 since the very beginning and and heard all the people say we will never last to everyone who

01:20:37 has shared a clip bought a subscription sent a letter said a prayer for our staff

01:20:43 or just kept the radio on when it would have been easier to turn it off thank you

01:20:49 there's no other way to say it

01:20:55 I have been talking for a living for almost half a century

01:20:59 and the most important thing that I have ever said

01:21:03 fits on an index card

01:21:04 thank you

01:21:06 thank you for your kindness to me and towards my family

01:21:12 I know numbers are going to go up and down

01:21:15 next month I could be saying we're out of business

01:21:19 because that's the business.

01:21:20 That's the business.

01:21:24 But what you have built

01:21:26 and what we have built together

01:21:27 doesn't live on a spreadsheet.

01:21:29 It lives at your kitchen table.

01:21:30 It lives in your church.

01:21:32 It lives in your town.

01:21:33 It lives in your kids.

01:21:35 And the good news is

01:21:36 together

01:21:39 we're just getting started.

01:21:42 Thank you.

01:21:43 More in a minute.

01:21:44 remember when the primary purpose of a telephone was to talk to somebody i mean i think that was

01:21:53 the whole invention you picked it up you dialed a number and another human being said hello

01:21:56 absolutely revolutionary technology somewhere along the way we decided it wasn't complicated

01:22:02 enough so we now carry a thousand dollar computer in our pocket that can edit movies monitor our

01:22:08 heart rate tell us the name of a song playing in an elevator and when somebody actually calls us

01:22:12 we stare at the screen like we've just received a death threat i don't want to talk to somebody

01:22:16 which brings me to rapid radios because sometimes you really do need to talk to somebody you know

01:22:22 you're out on a job site and hey don't move the shovel okay too late didn't you get my text no i

01:22:28 didn't you can do it without opening an app you know waiting for a call to connect or any rapid

01:22:33 radios push to talk communication devices and they work over lte networks which means i can be in

01:22:39 hawaii and talk to somebody in new york it's like a walkie talkie except not they're rugged

01:22:45 water resistant designed for straightforward communication and for a limited time you can

01:22:48 go to rapid radios.com and you'll get up to 60 off and free shipping add the promo code beck

01:22:53 get an extra 5 off now it's rapid radios.com that's rapid radios.com glenn beck will be right back

01:23:09 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:23:29 Let me tell you a couple of things.

01:23:34 We're going to talk about, with Carol Roth, that's coming up next,

01:23:37 there's some news out of uh out of russia apparently the whole bricks thing has fallen

01:23:43 apart russia is no longer trying to collapse the dollar um why why jason why why what happened

01:23:50 what why is why is china and and russia all of a sudden going okay well that won't work

01:23:55 i guess specific moves that we have made on the chinese one uh specifically to replace the dollar

01:24:01 as the global reserve currency suddenly doesn't seem like such a great idea anymore who would

01:24:06 of thought you know just had someone do something seen that coming wow saving the dollar you want

01:24:12 to talk about affordability um so that's really good news we have that also i have the um founder

01:24:20 the co-founder uh of palantir joining me today it will be a podcast i mean especially with the

01:24:27 video and everything that's going on i can't wait to talk to him about that and what's happening

01:24:30 at palantir with the new guy running it who's like i'm i'm a democrat i'm a i love democrats

01:24:36 always love democrats i love them love them love them love them what the hell is that all about

01:27:22 Hello, America. We want to talk about affordability. We want to talk about how we can change things.

01:27:28 We want to talk about NVIDIA getting its head handed to us.

01:27:34 Is it down? It's only down 4% today at this point. It was down 10%.

01:27:42 It was down 14%. The head of NVIDIA has just stepped down.

01:27:49 you know i guess it happens you know when you sleep with a possible chinese spy

01:27:53 but there are so many questions if you haven't heard the monologue there are seven areas of

01:28:00 concern that i had and i did that in a monologue hour number one of today's podcast that you

01:28:05 you really because nobody's covering this story i think the way it needs to be but i want to talk

01:28:10 to carol roth next about all of the different things in uh in the news and our economy but i

01:28:15 want to start with nvidia um how is this affecting our economy and what does this mean um to america

01:28:23 i mean this is a really big deal so we're going to talk to her beginning in 60 seconds first a

01:28:28 grocery store can give you 20 different labels on a package of meat and still leave you with one

01:28:32 very simple question yeah but okay where's this meat from you might not like the answer the package

01:28:38 can look wholesome it can have a flag in it and a farm and a picture of a contented cow but that's

01:28:43 no substitute for knowing the source that's one reason uh the approach of good ranchers is so good

01:28:49 they focus on american sourced meat that's it steaks chicken the or they make the origin of

01:28:55 what you're buying a central part of the offer it's from america you shouldn't need a degree

01:29:01 in label interpretation to feel confident where you're what you're serving your family is from

01:29:05 america and with the holidays coming the food has a way of bringing people together who might not

01:29:09 agree on really much of anything else you get a pick to cut of meat you can enjoy with a free

01:29:15 uh with free orders um in every single order you're going to get free meat and you get a pick

01:29:20 it it's a gift that keeps on giving so don't wait until black friday because it's happening right

01:29:25 now at good ranchers.com slash beck claim 120 off plus free meat with every single order it's

01:29:31 good ranchers.com slash beck make sure you let them know that i sent you when you buy it's

01:29:35 goodranchers.com slash back American meat delivered. Carol Roth is with us now. If you

01:29:43 don't get her newsletter, you should. Her website is carolroth.com slash news. Get her newsletter.

01:29:50 She's got a lot of other things that are that's happening there. And I want to talk to her about

01:29:54 that here in just a second. But first, I want to start with this question. How much would the

01:29:59 american economy improve carol if american politicians and businessmen would stop sleeping 0.99

01:30:06 with chinese spies it seems to be a rampant issue and it's it's like you said it's not just in the 0.92

01:30:15 business realm it's uh it's in politics um and certainly it's a it's a strategy of the ccp but 0.89

01:30:22 But this is crazy, Glenn. 1.00

01:30:24 I mean, this is one of the biggest corporate scandals of my lifetime.

01:30:30 And it is involving not only the previous to the announcement, the largest company in the entire world.

01:30:39 It was now it's the second largest company in the entire world.

01:30:43 It is the primary driver, the industry that it's in of our economy.

01:30:49 So this is a linchpin of that growth of our economy. As you said, it involves possible spying or at least sort of unsavory intermediaries to China. And the thing that comes up for me, which I'm sure you're already all over, is the timing of this.

01:31:08 because this is something that has been known for, you know, in internal circles as well as

01:31:14 supposedly in the administration for quite some time. So why is it now that all of a sudden this

01:31:20 is coming to light? You know, is it so that was that was the point of my monologue this morning

01:31:27 when I first came in is let's look at the timing. I want your why? Why now? What do you what do you

01:31:33 suppose is happening all right so in my choose your own adventure book and this is just me you

01:31:39 know yeah gaming things out strategically but as you know when i game things out strategically

01:31:43 usually i'm fairly spot on on these things um one of two things right either it's the democrats

01:31:49 asserting dominance that they've been sitting on this information and now that they're in power

01:31:56 and they don't want ai to be a strategy because you know god forbid we do things that put us ahead 0.71

01:32:02 of China and grow the country, that they are asserting dominance and they're sending a

01:32:07 message potentially to other tech companies and all the infallible humans that sit atop

01:32:14 of them.

01:32:15 If you don't fall in line, we've now taken down the guy at the big evangelist at the

01:32:20 biggest company, we could do it to you.

01:32:23 Now, it doesn't have to just be them.

01:32:25 It could also be the CCP asserting dominance.

01:32:28 But somebody, Glenn, is asserting dominance and sending a message to the entire tech community that will reverberate throughout the American economy.

01:32:41 I hope to God it is China that is doing this.

01:32:47 That is that if that if that was the Democrats and it to me, that makes more sense because the Democrats want to send a message to I mean, look at Palantir, the head of Palantir yesterday. 0.98

01:32:58 I'm a Democrat. I've always been a Democrat. I love Democrats. Democrats are my buddies. I love you.

01:33:04 I mean, they are immediately folding.

01:33:07 Well, this was the first thing. You can go back and you can check my ex posts.

01:33:11 And one of the very first things that I posted after the absolute route that happened was watch the tech bros flip their quote unquote ideals in three, two, one.

01:33:24 and here we are. And part of it is just they don't have any ideas or principles. But it does

01:33:31 seem like somebody is sending a message. And if you look at some of the other things, you know,

01:33:35 they're coming out the very first messaging. We're going to come out. We're going to stop

01:33:39 data centers. We're going to pause AI. Why is that their first messaging? And then we follow

01:33:45 up with this. I mean, I'm not Nancy Drew here, but, you know, the clues are starting to align.

01:33:50 oh that's bad um oh geez uh so tell me what this means to the economy i mean if they do take ai i

01:34:04 mean they're they're they seem to be serious about all of the data centers and everything else

01:34:10 if i mean the the key to um the donald trump plan is energy and they're all over that

01:34:19 um energy lots and lots of energy and data centers and that they seem to want to stop

01:34:28 both of those but i think they're serious unless they all fall in line and you know start to again

01:34:35 shadow ban and and uh and you know silence people like us um they're serious about that

01:34:43 What is the future of America if this is their plan?

01:34:49 So this is my perspective on AI, because I know there are a lot of people who may be concerned about it.

01:34:55 They may be concerned about data centers.

01:34:57 They may be concerned about, you know, handing over tasks to these, you know, autonomous agents, so to speak.

01:35:05 But I look at it as national defense and national security.

01:35:09 Because if you look at primarily what the AIs are trying to do, a lot of them are trying to hack.

01:35:16 And so from a defense standpoint, if you have our enemies, if you have the Chinas and the Russias and the other countries out there developing AI that are trying to hack into our financial system, our energy grid, everything that we operate on as a country.

01:35:35 because, of course, we've, you know, taken away all the analog redundancies, which makes no sense,

01:35:40 but that's a talk for another day. You know, then we're in a place where we need to be investing

01:35:46 at a minimum, if nothing else, to be able to counter those hackers. If you stop the development

01:35:53 and you don't let us lead AI, then what's going to happen to our banking system? What's going to

01:36:01 happen to our grid. Look at what happened in France with just grocery stores that were connected to

01:36:07 the internet. We need to have that leading development. So it is a critical, think of it

01:36:13 as nothing, if nothing else, as part of our defense spending, it has to happen. So that's one piece of

01:36:20 it is that it could, if we don't invest in it, it could just absolutely take down everything. It can

01:36:25 put us to a standstill. In another sense, if let's say that doesn't happen, but just in terms

01:36:32 of the biggest driver of growth, the reason we haven't had a recession, the reason why the GDP

01:36:39 is being projected at 3.4% or more in the final quarter of the year is because of the investment

01:36:47 in the capital that's being made in and around AI. And that includes data centers and all the

01:36:53 jobs that it's creating, including well-paying jobs for people like electricians and, you know,

01:37:00 other skilled workers. So if we're now going to say we're going to thwart the biggest driver of

01:37:07 growth, one, it could put us into a recession, and two, they're going to scramble to try to

01:37:15 replace that in the economy. And where are they going to do that? It's certainly not going to be

01:37:19 in the private sector, it's going to be re-pumping up the government sector. One of the things that

01:37:24 the Trump administration has been focused on is reducing and actually been effective, reducing

01:37:29 the government jobs and moving that towards the private sector. So again, it goes back to this

01:37:34 whole socialist Marxist situation. So the good outcome is that the economy ends up in a recession.

01:37:42 and the bad outcome is that China takes over everything 0.64

01:37:45 and we have like a massive, massive cyber issue. 0.62

01:37:52 Oh my gosh.

01:37:54 Before we leave the NVIDIA thing,

01:37:57 I have John Lonsdale on with me today.

01:38:01 Oh, nice.

01:38:02 Yeah, kind of a good interview to have today.

01:38:06 Comes out for Insiders at five o'clock, by the way.

01:38:08 um what would you ask him on this whole thing on what do you think the important question is to ask

01:38:16 yeah the guy from palantir yeah so if i was talking to to joe lonsdale the the question

01:38:25 i would ask is how does the tech community navigate the fact that you have democrats

01:38:37 as well as we know, agents from China working with activists trying to stop America from

01:38:45 moving forward and being able to, at a minimum, defend itself with AI? I think that's the big

01:38:52 question because, you know, not only based on the things that we just discussed, but silly things

01:38:57 like the fact that, you know, there was a big data center that was supposed to be built

01:39:01 on an abandoned mall site. And somebody linked to the CCP reportedly touched base with an activist

01:39:10 who was going around and was like, I've thwarted this. And they said to her, what is it that you'd

01:39:15 like to see there? And she said, a trampoline park. This is the level of economic idiocy that

01:39:23 we're dealing with in our country. But people will do anything for a quick buck. And so I would be 0.99

01:39:30 asking him, how do we deal with this very clear, targeted campaign, both coming from overseas

01:39:38 and coming from inside the house? The call is also coming from inside of the house.

01:39:42 How do we deal with that so that we can still have the investment to continue to grow and protect

01:39:47 our country? Okay. That interview with Joel Lonsdale is coming up at 5 p.m. for Insiders.

01:39:54 If you're not an insider, go to glenbeck.com slash torch and sign up now. There's a ton of

01:39:59 stuff going on and all kinds of great information, um, that you'd have access to way before anybody

01:40:05 else does. I want to play a clip of Dave Smith. He was on a podcast and I want to play it. And

01:40:11 then I got to take a one minute break and then I want to get your reaction to it. Listen to this.

01:40:16 Particularly for men, there's something really important about being an owner.

01:40:21 And I'm, when I say an owner, I just mean like being in the owner class of society,

01:40:24 being in the like the self-sufficient class of society being in the like i can provide a life

01:40:30 for myself and potentially a family you know it doesn't have to be like you live in a mansion or

01:40:34 anything like that but like i got you like we there will be a roof over your head we will have

01:40:38 a car you'll be okay if young men in their 20s can't have that to offer to a chick you get really

01:40:47 bad things in your society radical politics in the left and right that are not good when it becomes

01:40:52 a thing where like oh you got to kind of make a million dollars a year to live kind of a middle

01:40:56 class lifestyle but what does that mean it just means the middle class is shrinking more and more

01:41:01 and more and all these people who used to be middle class are now something below that they're

01:41:05 not you know like well you just said the average person can't afford the house they're living in

01:41:09 that person isn't middle class anymore so you have this kind of stratification

01:41:13 i want to get your uh your take on that um because this is what people are saying and believing and

01:41:20 And and what is the solution to this?

01:41:23 Ownership is is America.

01:41:26 It is what we were built on.

01:41:29 We have to be in.

01:41:30 We have to have ownership class.

01:41:32 We have to. 1.00

01:41:33 And it has to be middle class that can own things. 0.98

01:41:35 All right. 0.99

01:42:45 10 seconds.

01:42:57 The first cold night.

01:43:00 The first carol.

01:43:01 The first time it all feels like

01:43:03 Christmas.

01:43:07 Family around the table. Laughter

01:43:09 in the kitchen. And the soundtrack to

01:43:11 all of it cheyenne grace it's christmas again now streaming everywhere my daughter and i spent about

01:43:25 a year and a half on this uh working it's the prog orchestra it's the uh salt lake city mass

01:43:31 choir on a couple of the songs i mean it's just it's an incredible album uh and it's available

01:43:37 for the first day today so you can get it wherever you wherever you stream or or buy your music

01:43:41 uh carol what is your comment on on you know that clip because that's what everyone is thinking and

01:43:53 saying right now you know it's funny glenn i'm aware of this fantastic book called you will own

01:43:59 nothing that i feel like makes a lot of great points um written by i believe a woman who's

01:44:05 Fairly smart, maybe a friend of yours that made this argument.

01:44:08 She's been on the show a few times.

01:44:09 I think, yeah, I think she's been on the show a few times that has made this argument many,

01:44:13 many times that absolutely ownership is critical.

01:44:17 It's critical to freedom.

01:44:18 It's entwined in America.

01:44:20 And the elites are the ones who don't want you to own anything.

01:44:23 They want to own everything.

01:44:24 And it's why we need to fight back and own things.

01:44:27 What I find so evil about this clip is this has been a strategy of both the Democrats.

01:44:34 And I know you talked about this on your show over the past couple of days, as well as some of the quote unquote, you know, far right and libertarian podcast bros to take something that is a serious issue and elevate it and bastardize it in a way where it seems that everything is hopeless.

01:44:55 And I'm not saying that we don't have real issues, because I've also come on here and talked about the real affordability issues and the fact that we do need to increase ownership.

01:45:04 But for Dave Smith to say that everybody needs a million dollars a year to be in the average, I mean, that's like the top 0.5 percent of income in this country.

01:45:18 That is absolutely absurd.

01:45:21 and yes, housing is expensive

01:45:24 and there are policies that we should be putting in place

01:45:27 at the federal and local level

01:45:29 but they're the ones who are making it sound hopeless

01:45:33 and instead of saying, well, here are the things

01:45:35 that you can do and here's what you should be looking into

01:45:38 and if you're young and you're thinking about

01:45:41 how do I approach school, like here's your approach

01:45:44 they're absolutely using hyperbole

01:45:47 in order to demoralize, and the impact of that, which I think was intentional, and as I think you

01:45:54 know is intentional, was to get the Republicans out of power, and I think that part is evil and 0.65

01:46:01 disgusting. I agree with you. I mean, I have, you know, it's crazy because I'm being beaten up by 0.80

01:46:07 the left and the right because I, you know, commented on Van Jones, you know, and everybody's

01:46:12 like there is a real affordable yeah of course there is there is i mean yes i i'm i'm at the

01:46:17 gas station with people i see what gas costs me and i'm shocked by it i go to the you know i go to

01:46:23 a you know mcdonald's drive-thru with just me and my wife and i see it's 35 and i'm like what the

01:46:29 how is anyone affording that there is a real issue the problem is everyone's pointing the finger at

01:46:37 blame and fear. And no one is talking about the actual issues and what can be done to fix those

01:46:45 things. And not mentioning how many of those issues are state and local and have been driven

01:46:51 by democratic policy. Why is McDonald's so expensive? Because they put these crazy minimum

01:46:59 wages in place. And we know the impact and how that flows through. And we've warned that your

01:47:04 Big Mac was going to cost you $25 one day because of that. Why is gas so expensive? Do you know who

01:47:11 makes the most money on gas? It's in terms of profit. It's not the gas station. It's not the

01:47:17 gas company. It's the government. Look at the breakdown of every dollar or every dollar of

01:47:23 gasoline that's sold and what percentage. So the local jurisdictions could make that more

01:47:28 affordable for you. Same thing with a lot of the housing. There are things we should be doing

01:47:33 federally but a lot of it goes back to state and local zoning so instead of of saying here's the

01:55:01 Okay.

01:55:04 Let's see.

01:55:09 Ricky has been giving me a hard time

01:55:11 all day

01:55:12 because 0.99

01:55:14 I'm burying holes into your head right now for those 0.99

01:55:17 who can't see. I'm wondering why you're 0.99

01:55:19 stalling.

01:55:23 So Ricky has been

01:55:25 really

01:55:26 a thorn in my side all day um because uh nobody has heard this song until we released it

01:55:35 have you even heard it i heard about 30 seconds of it and i was like no way so it's on the album

01:55:45 and i i i put it on because this is a song that cheyenne and i sing when we we watch white

01:55:50 christmas every year and it's an irving berlin song called your bless count your blessings and

01:55:55 we sing it every year and so as a father-daughter thing and so it made it onto the album somehow or

01:56:03 another and uh you don't you you don't have it is that what you're saying to me bj you don't have

01:56:09 it no that is not what he's saying the control room the tv control room has it i gave them a

01:56:14 heads up. Here it is

01:56:16 from the new album, It's Christmas

01:56:18 Again.

01:56:29 No.

01:56:30 Just take him off the camera.

01:56:32 Let the poor man get embarrassed

01:56:34 privately.

01:56:44 And I fall asleep counting my blessings When my bedroll is getting small

01:57:02 I think of when I had none at all

01:57:07 And I fall asleep, counting my blessings.

01:57:19 I think about the nursery, and I picture curly heads. 0.86

01:57:29 And one by one, I count them as they slumber in their beds.

01:57:41 If you're worried and you can't sleep, just count your blessings instead of sleep.

01:57:53 And you'll fall asleep

01:57:57 Counting your blessings

01:58:23 I think about the nursery

01:58:32 And I picture curly hair

01:58:37 And one by one I count them

01:58:43 As they slumber in their beds

01:58:50 If you're worried and you can't sleep 1.00

01:58:56 Just count your blessings instead of she 1.00

01:59:02 And you'll fall asleep 1.00

01:59:07 Counting your blessings

01:59:20 Thank you for indulging a father with his daughter.

01:59:25 I mean, I gotta tell you, we, I mean, it was hard.

01:59:30 It was hard, uh, to, to, I mean, cause it's, it's my daughter and, uh, and you know, thinking

01:59:49 about her growing up and, you know, having her own children. And, you know, the whole, the whole

01:59:55 album is so personal, um, because we wrote the lyrics together. This is all original, except for

02:00:01 that one. Um, it's all original music. And, uh, we tried to make it sound like it was something

02:00:08 that was recorded 40 years ago that you've, or, you know, 80 years ago, something that you grew

02:00:12 up listening to. Um, but all of the lyrics on the whole album are really personal. I, I hope that

02:00:19 they are relatable to you, but it's, um, all of the things that make Christmas special, you know,

02:00:29 Mary, my oldest daughter, she's, she's always saying, you know, about Joseph, nobody ever

02:00:35 talks about Joseph dad, um, you know, uh, with the birth of Christ. And, and she's always like,

02:00:41 Like, how did Joseph handle that, you know?

02:00:47 And thank God, God sent an angel to say, hey, by the way, Joseph.

02:00:52 And how did Mary tell him, you know?

02:00:58 It had to be terrifying.

02:01:00 And so I, you know, I wrote a song about Mary and kind of her struggle at one point.

02:01:08 it's about her struggle with that on please dear god please why would anyone believe me

02:01:16 um and so anyway it's it's just a very personal uh christmas note if you will um and it's

02:01:26 available wherever you get your music now it's called it's christmas again by cheyenne grace

02:01:31 all right uh back in just a minute

02:04:04 our oceans, and the place we call home.

02:04:07 Learn more at LockheedMartin.com slash Canada.

02:04:10 so uh yesterday pete hankseth went to uh the tomb of the unknown soldier which they do not

02:04:31 mess around my son was just there um and somebody had dropped a water bottle a bottle and it had

02:04:37 rolled across the rope line and they just reached down to pick it up i mean it was literally five

02:04:43 inches past the rope line and they reached down to pick it up so they didn't leave trash there

02:04:48 and they got yelled at you know one of the soldiers ma'am step away you know it was like

02:04:53 serious they take it seriously so yesterday pete hagseth is there and there's a group of people

02:05:00 and they're walking away um and they're towards the top of the stairs as they're walking away

02:05:04 and uh this is what happens go ahead and play this

02:05:07 oh we do didn't we i thought we did we don't have it no okay well anyway somebody in the group

02:05:15 laughed and uh you know the soldier barked out you know decorum um and not appropriate and

02:05:25 remained silent and and it was really stern uh and i applaud that soldier i think that is

02:05:34 You know, when I first saw it, I mean, I welled up inside because it was like, where else but America are you going to have a military soldier yell at the secretary of war?

02:05:49 I mean, that got that. I mean, that a that took guts and hopefully it didn't take as much guts as I think, because that's what you do.

02:05:58 And I was talking earlier today that I wish that, you know, Pete Hegseth would just come out and issue a statement saying that guy did exactly the right thing.

02:06:07 You know, congratulations.

02:06:10 Thank you for saying that.

02:06:10 We were out of line.

02:06:11 And Jason, you just found a story he did.

02:06:14 Oh, and then some.

02:06:15 So he did this post about an hour ago.

02:06:18 He said, we love soldiers.

02:06:20 We love standards.

02:06:21 Well done, specialist.

02:06:23 Carry on patriots.

02:06:24 And this is the picture of him pinning a joint service commendation medal on him for doing this.

02:06:31 Well done, Secretary of War.

02:06:33 Amazing.

02:06:34 Good job.

02:06:36 Good job.

02:06:38 Now, let me ask you, how many politicians would have done that?

02:06:41 How many politicians would have hidden from it?

02:06:43 They would have probably tried to humiliate that guy in one way or another.

02:06:48 That's exactly the response the Secretary of War should do.

02:06:51 Exactly.

02:06:52 Give that guy accommodation.

02:06:54 good thank you awesome i mean that's but i mean that is what he's trying to rebuild that's what

02:07:01 the democrats hate is he's trying to make them into men you know into men you have standards

02:07:08 we have standards and hold fast to those standards and to see him when he's getting

02:07:16 hammered on cnn and msnbc and all the left they're just hammering him on the they're not going to

02:07:21 show that picture we have to tweet that out they're not going to show you that um and uh and

02:07:27 they should but they're not honest i would show it the other way if he wouldn't if he had tried
