00:00:00.000
I was just asking, Stu, you know, do you have a Rectect yet?
00:00:04.580
And is it because everybody in your family is a vegetarian?
00:00:09.260
I believe that you could destroy your kids with it.
00:00:17.400
Would you use it if I bought one for you for Christmas?
00:00:25.400
Rectect makes a great Christmas gift for somebody you care about.
00:00:33.480
And somebody that, you know, appreciates real food, not rabbit food.
00:00:40.520
You want to cook your food to absolute perfection.
00:00:47.520
You'll face another holiday at your home with a grill that doesn't make appetizers, entrees, even desserts.
00:00:57.400
And it has smart grill technology, so you can do it from the inside.
00:01:01.140
And it's cooking outside and letting you know when everything's ready.
00:01:19.100
What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:01:52.620
Gosh, it seems almost like it was just last year when we were saying, wow, we're energy independent for the very first time.
00:02:04.940
It's the lowest unemployment for minorities ever in the history of keeping records.
00:02:13.320
But I will tell you, we just broke another record today.
00:02:31.520
And we're at 6.8 official government estimated inflation.
00:02:49.080
Have you noticed that if you go to try to buy a new car, you can't get one?
00:02:54.920
Uh, if you tried to buy a used car, it's the price of a new car.
00:03:01.460
Now think of, oh, how much fun it's going to be to wait for that part, especially if it's a chip.
00:03:10.640
Oh, the times you will have paying for the rental car for that time period.
00:03:20.280
If your car is out of warranty, please get CarShield.
00:03:30.280
I have old trucks that, you know, I'm going to drive till the doors fall off.
00:03:34.500
I'd probably do it after that because I bet I could get the warranty.
00:03:39.160
I bet I could write in, I want something, too, with the doors.
00:03:44.280
I mean, you can create your own warranty, and they have something that fits everybody's budget.
00:03:52.280
But I will tell you, get the big things covered, because when they go bad, you're not going to be able to get another car to replace it.
00:04:33.200
And by the way, Janet Yellen came out yesterday.
00:04:36.400
She came out yesterday to say, I think we need to start using a different word than transitory.
00:04:54.160
I mean, think about it from the minute they started saying transitory.
00:04:59.020
And then Janet Yellen comes out and says, oh, yeah, by the way, the transitory thing.
00:05:08.580
But they now say that it's going to end next year.
00:05:15.080
And if not that, I mean, then the dollar will collapse and we'll be in hyperinflation.
00:05:19.440
But don't worry about it because they have a build back better plan.
00:05:30.280
You just pass it and trust them because our government on both sides of the aisle has
00:05:36.080
always been so reliable and trustworthy, haven't they?
00:05:41.480
When they say, I haven't read the bill, but I'm going to vote for it because I'm sure it's
00:05:45.840
All of us, you know, the regular people, we all go, oh, well, I trust you, too, seeing we
00:05:53.900
don't even know who wrote the bill, but blanket trust, blanket trust.
00:06:13.400
It is actually one page, has a dollar sign, and a big blank line.
00:06:21.420
It's literally, they're asking to pass a blank check.
00:06:27.100
It's a fun time when they actually just admit it, right?
00:06:29.740
We've known they've had a blank check this entire time.
00:06:35.180
Finally, they're just saying, yes, this is reality.
00:06:38.440
By the way, everything that I'm reading, please, I know you don't, most likely, but you've got
00:06:48.820
to take facts, actual facts, and share them with your friends that can be turned.
00:06:55.400
Stop reading the local newspapers, most likely.
00:06:58.720
I mean, I know even the Tribune and the Deseret News, they are just ripping Mike Lee apart as
00:07:17.320
If it's radical to preach the Constitution and stand up for the Constitution, then yes,
00:07:32.940
I know everybody is trying to make us seem like that.
00:07:39.720
No, we hate the way this government is behaving, but we love the Constitution and the Declaration
00:08:03.640
Oh, we have the Jussie Smollett verdict coming back in.
00:08:14.580
I really thought in the middle of the night on one of the coldest years in Chicago, Jussie
00:08:25.020
Grab some eggs and a Subway sandwich in the middle of the night.
00:08:28.560
Again, on the coldest day and walking right there in a very, very dark and dangerous area
00:08:37.560
and two white guys jump out with MAGA hats and they say, hey, black man in black show,
00:08:58.300
And we are in the hood of Chicago in the middle of the night with MAGA hats and we rule these
00:09:23.600
May I just, and I hate to bring this up because Ellen Page, she's no longer with us.
00:09:31.760
But here she was on Stephen Colbert right after.
00:09:37.080
And I think this is the way America felt at the time.
00:09:39.620
I have a media that's saying it's a debate whether or not what just happened to Jussie
00:09:48.520
It is absurd because that's not what the debate was about.
00:09:55.120
You know, if someone actually did the things he described, it would qualify as a hate
00:10:00.880
We're trying to be gentle because Ellen Page, we lost her.
00:10:06.620
I have a media that's saying it's a debate whether or not what just happened to Jussie
00:10:25.560
It feels impossible to not feel this way right now with the president and the vice president,
00:10:30.200
Mike Pence, in terms of connecting the dots, in terms of what happened the other day
00:10:44.080
If you are in a position of power and you hate people.
00:10:52.180
You spend your career trying to cause suffering.
00:11:04.240
What does Jussie Smollett have to do with kids killing themselves?
00:11:11.100
In fact, you might even say the opposite happened.
00:11:13.440
It's like if you just wanted to get somebody out of office so badly and you wanted to call
00:11:19.060
your country racist so badly and you didn't have really enough current examples so you
00:11:37.440
No, Elliot Page is a completely different person.
00:11:43.620
I feel like this is partially our fault, this whole thing with her and him.
00:11:48.640
Because, you know, first of all, the Elliot Page thing is just as fraudulent as the Jussie
00:11:59.780
The issue here is she has spent every moment of her waking life since making Juno trying
00:12:05.900
to have to serve penance for that because she made a mistakenly pro-life movie that people
00:12:14.660
And ever since that moment, she's become crazier and crazier and crazier.
00:12:36.540
I just read a story the other day and I think it might have been about the swimmer in, you
00:12:59.120
I read it three times and I couldn't understand the story.
00:13:03.380
I couldn't understand the story because I'm like, wait a minute.
00:13:16.560
Seriously, you get to this point and you see this all the time.
00:13:18.960
These news stories, you can't understand what's occurring.
00:13:21.460
I would like to take a news story like that and give it to an adult along with a sonnet
00:13:28.820
from Shakespeare and have an adult read both of those and say, which one do you understand
00:13:39.380
And Shakespeare is only because it's like, you know, outdated flowery language, old timey
00:13:44.960
stuff that you're like, what the hell does that even mean?
00:13:47.660
You see the same thing with these gender stories?
00:13:49.340
Like someone will either say something that's supposedly racist or supposedly gender horrific
00:13:54.640
and they can't now say the words in the news stories.
00:13:59.760
So you're like, they said something controversial, but you'll read.
00:14:04.340
You're clicking through link after link after link.
00:14:05.720
And no one says what the offensive thing is, because I guess we're all children and we can't
00:14:10.900
OK, so now I just want to bring you up to date.
00:14:14.780
Jesse Smollett guilty on five of the six counts of lying to the police and reporting
00:14:21.640
false battery and, you know, race hate charges.
00:14:28.200
They're waiting for the sentencing to happen here soon.
00:14:30.960
Um, but I hope he gets a, I hope he gets a, a bad, heavy sentence.
00:14:36.480
I really, the max penalty is a couple of years, right?
00:14:38.500
And I hope he gets the maximum penalty only because, well, I know.
00:14:44.100
Let me tell you what the, what the report is today.
00:14:46.760
By, by, by sending him to jail, these white people are sending a message that it is OK to,
00:15:00.380
uh, uh, to bash gay and lesbian and black people because now people won't report because they
00:15:13.580
Now, I don't know the mental gymnastics that you have to do, and I'm guessing there's no
00:15:19.980
I'm, I think that the mental gymnast looks at the kid on the bench and says, just keep
00:15:33.480
There's no gymnastics that would make this work in your head.
00:15:37.220
By sentencing a guy who lied about it, you're actually restoring some of the credibility
00:15:45.160
of cries of racism and sexism and everything else.
00:15:50.320
If, if you can just get away with making it up, which far too many times in our society
00:15:57.460
If you can just make stuff up, by the way, this is such a, so I'm on fire right now.
00:16:05.600
Like, like Ellen Page was, I'm on fire with something right now.
00:16:19.920
So, I have to tell you, now this happened about 20 years ago, but it's still going on
00:16:39.940
She ravaged me, ravaged me because she was like, this is only a place for hot people.
00:16:56.360
It was my wife's spaghetti sauce, which is delicious, as you know.
00:16:59.820
And she was like, come on, I'm covered in your favorite food.
00:17:06.120
I can't go into any more details, but I've, I hope people understand that I will be living
00:17:15.140
the rest of my life with the thought of Elle McPherson ravaging me relentlessly because
00:17:29.340
I don't mean to laugh at your story that is obviously affecting you in such serious and
00:17:38.860
And if anybody denies, if anybody, especially Elle McPherson's like, I've never even heard
00:17:47.360
Why would I, I want you to know that that hurts me even more deeply, more deeply.
00:17:54.500
And that, that, if these models, because I could go on, if these models could get away
00:18:01.560
with ravaging me and there's no consequence and you don't believe me because I can act.
00:18:14.220
I just don't know what's going to become of all of us.
00:18:20.240
Don't answer that because we all know the answer is.
00:18:46.940
I've been carrying what looks like giant fatness.
00:18:53.900
And don't laugh because men can't have babies too.
00:19:02.660
Well, if you want to look as hot as Glenn and take, I don't know, 20, 30, 50, 80 years
00:19:08.800
off your life, um, uh, and you want to look a lot better for Christmas, for the holidays
00:19:13.880
and going into the new year, you might not own a time machine.
00:19:16.100
So you can go back to the, the nineties when Glenn was hot, supposedly hot, according to
00:19:21.540
I said to her, I'm not going to be as hot my whole life.
00:19:25.620
And she said, Oh, I will still want to ravage you then.

00:20:41.980
Sorry, I had to go back to the dark part of your life.
00:21:00.860
You know, I'd see her in the magazines and Sports Illustrated and I'd be like, that is
00:21:09.580
That is, and I would not, I would not look at her sexually at all.
00:21:21.200
And, and if we were to say that sounds like a completely made up story, that would hurt
00:21:30.220
That the people who actually were suffering from real claim.
00:21:33.520
It would hurt, it would hurt everybody else who's been ravaged by a model.
00:21:42.740
If we can just save one child from being ravaged, I don't think there's a huge market
00:21:54.800
Maybe there is, but I want to make sure you know that the audience is behind you and we
00:22:01.380
stand with you and, and your terrible struggles of 90s.
00:22:05.000
I will tell you that Anthony Anderson, a star of Black-ish said, I'm happy that the system
00:22:12.340
worked for Jesse Smollett because the system isn't always fair, especially for people of
00:22:20.300
Another co-star from Empire said, I'm happy the truth has finally been set free because
00:22:28.360
And I'm, I'm, I'm wondering now if they're going to come out with a comment that like,
00:22:34.380
wow, now that I, now that I see the case and I'm having a hard time saying that it didn't
00:22:41.620
work for a justice didn't work for black people because the two black people that were involved
00:22:52.440
You just, you just released a statement that just says, oops, I mean, that's what she said.
00:23:00.380
American financing NMLS 1-8-2-3-3-4 www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.
00:23:12.580
What's your answer look like in the same house, a different one?
00:23:19.080
You're sitting on a pile of money that you saved, huh?
00:23:26.460
Oh, it's a cute little boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo.

00:24:05.040
That's you, Errol McPherson, who's listening to me now.
00:24:35.420
Also, Jim Jordan on what Congress has to do, taking Congress back and the things that the Republicans have got to do.
00:24:50.600
Now, I don't know if there's any relation to the Seery that lives on your phone, but he is the managing partner of Seery and Glimstad.
00:25:01.060
He's the guy that has been asking Pfizer to release the COVID-19 vaccine data.
00:25:11.100
And they said it was going to take him 50 years.
00:25:14.780
He sued them, you know, for a FISA for a FOIA release.
00:25:18.960
And they came back and said, yeah, can't do it.
00:25:22.680
In fact, we're going to need, what was it, till 2096, I think, 75 years to be able to give the 451,000 pages to the public to be able to look through.
00:25:39.240
They are asking for all of those pages in 108 days.
00:25:44.840
That's the same amount of time it took the FDA to review and license Pfizer's Pfizer's vaccine.
00:25:50.580
So why why can't we look at all of that information?
00:25:53.740
He's on with us now to tell us why this is important.
00:26:04.140
This is one of the craziest things I've ever heard.
00:26:10.220
We've paid billions of dollars to FISA, and they won't give us any transparency.
00:26:17.000
What do you, why, what do you think you're going to find, and why are they working so hard to shut it off for the next century?
00:26:27.520
Yeah, you know, it's even worse than FISA not giving the documents.
00:26:31.460
It is the FDA, the taxpayer-funded agency that's supposed to be looking out for our interest, that is refusing to release the data.
00:26:42.740
And as you pointed out, Glenn, the FDA reviews those same documents in a review they said was thorough and complete and robust in just 108 days to license Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine product for use in America.
00:26:59.580
But yet, when it comes to being transparent about those documents that are reviewed, the documents that are received from Pfizer, it's saying that it will only produce about 500 pages a month.
00:27:14.040
So, with over 450,000 pages, what that means is the documents won't be fully produced until the year at least 2096, when most Americans today probably will have moved on to the next world.
00:27:31.240
That makes a joke of the FDA and the federal government's promise of transparency.
00:27:47.960
But the position it's taking is that it wants to allocate one person for only a week and a half each month to review those documents.
00:27:59.760
Just to understand, this lawsuit is not – I'm an attorney.
00:28:06.840
That client comprised of over 70 medical professionals and doctors and public health officials from the most prestigious universities in our country, from Yale and so forth.
00:28:19.420
They're the ones who want this data, because they want to conduct an independent review.
00:28:26.860
When the vaccines are failing, we need booster shots.
00:28:32.460
We have variants that are evading vaccine immunity.
00:28:37.240
It should be sharing it so that all scientists in our country can participate in finding solutions.
00:28:43.420
Aaron, do you have – we got through Judicial Watch and a FOIA request – the secret 200-page contract between Moderna and the NIH and N-I-N – what is it?
00:29:13.940
and co-own any of the vaccines and yeah that just seems wrong here really wrong
00:29:23.140
well if i may if i may say something before i directly answer that i will say this in terms
00:29:30.520
of quote-unquote wrong uh you know stepping even further back if i may the federal government has
00:29:37.500
given pfizer complete immunity from liability for any injuries caused by their product if you're an
00:29:42.000
american and you get this product and you're injured the federal government does not let you
00:29:45.980
sue them or anybody else you're basically on your own the federal government is also mandating you to
00:29:50.580
take this product correct and the federal government has given pfizer over 17 billion dollars but yet the
00:29:55.600
federal government doesn't want to let you see the documents underlying licensure and then to boot as
00:30:03.760
you just pointed out on top of it to put it in that bigger context when it comes to moderna's vaccine
00:30:09.440
what you said is effectively right which is the moderna vaccine covid19 vaccine was co-invented
00:30:17.320
with individuals in naiad fauci's agency within the national institutes of health a number of those
00:30:25.280
individuals within naiad these are public servants they have patent rights effectively or they have
00:30:33.300
royalty rights with regards to the moderna vaccine so there is a handful of individuals within
00:30:39.420
naiad who will who stand to earn about a hundred up to 150 000 a year not only in their lifetime but
00:30:46.980
their heirs lifetime we're talking millions of dollars for fauci's closest probably associates
00:30:52.740
within naiad presumably the ones he's worked with to create this what he calls the miracle drug
00:30:58.100
my understanding and and and naiad itself will also receive money everybody thinks the government is
00:31:04.660
totally impartial when it makes these decisions at least financially and unfortunately when it comes
00:31:09.660
to the moderna's vaccine that's not that that's just not the case um we we did actually a write-up
00:31:15.120
on this well many about seven eight months ago because this is not um you know this information is
00:31:20.620
is publicly available directly on naiad's naiad's website they don't actually hide this
00:31:25.340
you know our client uh i can you focus in action network we have a whole write-up on their website
00:31:29.860
detailing the names of everybody at naiad whose stance earn this money and providing all of the
00:31:35.440
you know statutory sections and the proof showing exactly the conflicts there so uh i've never seen
00:31:42.300
anything like this with especially with a vaccine i mean uh i think salk refused to patent it um uh and
00:31:50.420
you know we have a real tradition especially going all the way back to benjamin franklin of when it is in
00:31:57.940
the public interest you know generally people say you know this is going to help too many people
00:32:03.220
no patent on it i mean look at elon musk no patent on the stuff i'm doing uh in the government
00:32:09.780
paying for all of this if if they really truly believed that people were in peril it's pretty evil
00:32:20.080
that we would be paying with our dollars and it would go to a private firm and then they would
00:32:26.920
block the entire world from looking at it i mean this shouldn't be a privately owned thing if we're
00:32:35.120
paying for it if we are being forced to be able to to take it it certainly shouldn't be all black boxed
00:32:44.400
we should be able to see everything at a minimum the americans should be given the dignity if they have
00:32:51.520
to take it and they can't sue for harm at least they should have the ability to get what most people
00:32:56.740
get which is a second opinion an independent review we call it peer review in science yeah right somebody
00:33:02.520
else looking at the data absolutely it's it's very concerning but i think it's in part the result
00:33:07.920
of what happens when government steps in and acts really like a company and instead of instead of
00:33:16.280
working on behalf of the people let me let me put that in context the fda for example has its role
00:33:25.600
is to license products based on whether in its view it's safe and effective that's its role what
00:33:33.000
has the fda done vis-a-vis the covet 19 vaccine before it was even licensed janet woodcock and peter
00:33:38.220
marks the then acting commissioner of the fda and uh peter marks who's the head of the biologic
00:33:44.180
division the vaccine division within the fda they have been uh for lack of a better term pom-pom
00:33:51.120
cheerleading this product they have been promoting it to the american people meaning they put not only
00:33:59.220
the fda's reputation but their own reputation on the line when they did that they don't promote
00:34:05.460
statins they don't promote all heart medicine which is why the fda has no problems telling you oh oops
00:34:11.440
yep problem with the heart medicine oops yep problem you know with this drug or that drug but when it
00:34:16.500
comes to certainly the covet 19 vaccine when they have now staked their reputation on this
00:34:22.960
it means that any claim any evidence any indication that it's problematic it causes any harm it might be
00:34:32.000
driving variants it might be have waning immunity it might not provide it might it doesn't prevent
00:34:37.920
infection transmission that not only reflects badly in pfizer in fact it hurts the federal government
00:34:43.820
more than pfizer and so what they now have an interest in hiding that information it's interesting
00:34:48.820
you mentioned jonas salk and his vaccine which was released in 1955 you might recall that vaccine
00:34:54.900
was then withdrawn from the market after the cutter incident a few years later was replaced by by by the
00:34:59.860
sabin polio vaccine i mean that was a time and an era in which we could you know say science was you
00:35:07.160
know when there was an issue our federal health authorities weren't conflicted in incredible
00:35:12.040
manner they are today where they're receiving money for selling this product as you pointed out earlier
00:35:16.140
for the moderna vaccine to acting as the promoters of the vaccine to the enforcers of the vaccine by
00:35:21.880
mandating it and in fact even giving any immunity for any liability for the product this is why the
00:35:27.800
great reset is so dangerous because it puts the government into public private partnerships with all kinds of
00:35:34.220
corporations um who is seeing this in court do you think we're going to win on this as people
00:35:42.700
well um i have uh i have an opposition brief uh uh due on monday and then i've got a court hearing
00:35:50.260
on tuesday in um in fort worth texas before uh the judge and we uh i guess we'll all hear what uh the judge
00:35:58.140
has to say and you know what i've told you here this morning is what i've basically told the judge
00:36:03.000
you know which is look uh you know you you the federal government wants to make it so that you
00:36:08.860
can't sue for any harm they're saying you have to get it the whole point of the freedom of information
00:36:15.440
act which is the statute being used to get it is transparency and it provides that the documents
00:36:20.880
requested under force be provided promptly you know you can't let the fda get away
00:36:27.220
with produce you know with with over 60 000 employees and a billion six billion dollars of
00:36:33.680
our money our money assign one person for only a week and a half every month that is the height of
00:36:42.380
authoritarianism in my view i agree aaron thank you so much for this fight we'll have you on next week
00:36:47.940
after you um after you've uh met with the judge and been heard in court i'd love to hear your thoughts
00:36:54.740
afterwards um so this is aaron seery he is the civil rights attorney that is fighting for covet 19
00:37:01.500
vaccine transparency which everyone on all sides of the aisle should be for this i mean it's what
00:37:08.320
joe biden said are you going to take it if donald trump comes up with the vaccine are you going to
00:37:12.940
take it he said well only with real transparency well this is the transparency he said he wanted this is
00:37:20.140
what everyone should want especially on a product they're trying to jam down your throat silence any
00:37:26.900
questions and force you to take back in a minute thanks aaron what are you planning on getting your

welcome to the glen beck program on my way to florida uh today this afternoon i have a um an
00:39:02.300
interview with donald trump a sit down our first sit down uh and uh it's going to air in january and i'm
00:39:09.620
going to try to focus emphasis on try try to focus on the future and the things that he would do to
00:39:19.340
fix how do we fix it especially if he has only four years to do it how does he get and scoop out that
00:39:27.560
deep state that sounds like a smart focus it seems like so much of the stuff around especially around
00:39:33.360
trump is always focused on the past like what happened on january 6th i want to know honestly i want
00:39:38.500
to know uh what he's going to do to make sure that he can i mean because he was surrounded by people in
00:39:45.300
the deep state that just destroyed and he didn't fill the positions fast enough and you know i've
00:39:52.180
talked to him about it he didn't fire people fast enough and he should go in and clean house i also
00:39:57.600
want to know 6.8 uh percent inflation by the time we hit 2024 how hard is it going to be what do you have
00:40:05.620
to do to turn this around how do you turn this economy yeah because the guy knows what a shape
00:40:14.600
it's going to be by then gosh oh my gosh do you think this is i mean i it's pointless to even ask
00:40:19.900
him this because he can't even answer it but do you think he's running oh yeah oh yeah absolutely
00:40:24.860
he's running we saw a poll yesterday the republican primary field uh donald trump was in first place
00:40:31.100
at 67 and second place was mike pence with nine and third was ronda santis with eight i think ronda
00:40:37.980
santis being the vice president would be good if they could if they could work together because then
00:40:44.820
you could have effectively a three-term presidency um because four years is not going to be enough to
00:40:53.000
lock these things in just not it's trump's though if he wants it though right it is there's no it is
00:40:58.740
absolutely is his if he wants it and i don't think he's the type of guy that doesn't doesn't want i
00:41:03.900
just don't i feel like i don't either yeah i don't either yeah all right more in just a second

00:42:12.400
nerdly and more with jim jordan coming up in just a second stand by
00:43:07.880
oh my gosh is the press freaking out the press is absolutely freaking out uh and
00:43:14.440
i just i saw another sign i read just a story just a few minutes ago
00:43:18.380
i saw a story about the jesse smollett thing from cnn that i think shows
00:43:23.020
they are they know they're doomed they know they're over and i want to talk to you about that
00:43:29.940
just a little bit uh coming up if we have time this hour because we also have jim jordan
00:43:33.920
and we have both nerdly and uh an update on uh the economy
00:43:40.360
oh you're gonna look coming up in just a second
00:43:43.420
wow so inflation is now officially at six point eight percent look that up on shadow stats will you
00:43:53.540
look up what that would be in uh 19 if we if we reviewed it the way we did in the 1990s and then
00:44:03.680
we've changed the formula so six point eight percent probably is about
00:44:08.200
14 13 percent maybe uh the way we did it uh in the past you know that because you're paying for groceries
00:44:21.020
the white house director of national economic council brian dees
00:44:26.980
he is finally on the meat thing and he came out yesterday with a statement and it's fascinating i don't think you've heard this anywhere else listen to what he says about why meat prices are so high
00:44:40.400
when you look at most of the um the increase in uh food costs you can isolate a significant portion of that to um uh meat uh beef pork and chicken in particular those are
00:44:52.980
very concentrated industries where a small number of meat processors control um the uh the industry and so what you've seen is
00:45:01.480
prices for the the farmers uh go up prices for consumers go up um and uh um and uh and profits for the meat processing uh
00:45:11.400
uh uh companies in the middle um go up and that's an issue of concern and one that we have focused on both from an antitrust perspective but also
00:45:19.440
investing in helping competitors get into that market really that's fascinating brian because none of that stuff is happening
00:45:26.100
um and it's good that you uh um um um now um um know that um um um what the problem is um um um with meat prices
00:45:36.260
this is something we talked about last year and if you were serious if you were serious
00:45:43.920
you would have already been been uh taken the meat industry to task you would have already been taking
00:45:51.420
those four big corporations but you're not and you know why because of global warming and your green
00:45:58.400
agenda that's why you are trying to kill the meat market we're not going to be eating meat and you're
00:46:07.540
going to thank them for it that's what they believe so um um um um um um um um don't believe anything that
00:46:17.940
they're said that what he just said i told you a year ago what he just said i'm a rancher i i watch the
00:46:25.720
price of beef and i watch what a price of a of of of a um a side of beef goes for how much can i take my
00:46:35.440
cow for and sell at auction i know who's buying it's those four big meat processors if they decide
00:46:42.120
they're not going to bid high they're not going to we can't make any money it costs us money to grow
00:46:49.820
the beef they're trying to put them all out of business and the federal government i believe
00:46:56.120
is part of it that's why you're paying so much for hamburger i'm sorry i got sidetracked i want to tell

00:51:37.140
um let's take let's take cut eight here from boast nerdly talking about the medal of freedom
00:51:45.040
i was there the night rush got the medal of freedom and rush and i didn't know each other we met each
00:51:52.740
other once at a friend's mutual friend's um wedding um and i was i'm never one to um i just i'm just not
00:52:02.340
one to you know call people up and go hey rush i'm in town i want to um you know especially somebody
00:52:08.120
like like rush um uh but when i when i did see him and when i uh saw him that night
00:52:20.000
um i don't know if he knew that was coming did he was that a surprise to him i know he had been at
00:52:27.100
the white house and what was that like when he came home well we didn't see him when he came home
00:52:32.280
for a few days because this happened the first day he had made the announcement that he had advanced
00:52:38.360
lung cancer he immediately left after the show that day to go to treatment that night is when all of
00:52:45.540
this happened he was supposed to be going to treatment and so following that he had to rush
00:52:50.720
back up to boston where he was being treated and um and we and resume and get started with the treatment
00:52:57.400
so we didn't see him until about a week later when when he had when he finally came back in and a week
00:53:03.780
later guess what he wasn't even interested in discussing it that much we took one call on it
00:53:09.740
toward the end of the show he wanted to dive right back into the news of the day do the kind of show that
00:53:15.440
he always did i talked to him about the last couple of broadcasts here what here's what bo said
00:53:21.640
his last few days you were there with him tell me about that didn't know it was going to be the last
00:53:29.700
few days we didn't i mean rush's bucket list was his audience and so every glenn every single day that
00:53:40.720
he could be there that he wasn't in treatment that he wasn't suffering from the effects of treatment
00:53:47.160
he came to work and when the mic went on i i'm telling you you would not even think the man
00:53:55.000
was was fighting any kind of an illness because he had the same upbeat uh the same upbeat presentation
00:54:04.960
he was just as witty as ever was prepared as ever it was only afterward glenn when when
00:54:13.180
there were days he couldn't he could barely get out of the chair after doing his show um in fact
00:54:21.720
one day he had to have someone come in and help him because he couldn't even hold his attache case
00:54:26.440
he was so weak and it had taken everything out of him to do those three hours but all of those days
00:54:34.380
you would not be able to tell that any anything was wrong with him and we didn't know that his last
00:54:41.480
show was his last show it was then he just spiraled down really quickly apparently after that and that
00:54:47.500
was and then just didn't come back he worked until the very end and let me just stop for a moment
00:54:53.720
and thank not only our audience but it's also your audience glenn it's all of our audience do you realize
00:55:01.300

00:59:08.680
wow key u.s inflation measure hit 39 year high i knew we could do it yes we would just get him in
00:59:30.580
i knew we could hit all-time highs and uh thank you joe biden by the way you asked what the inflation
00:59:35.840
rate would be under 1990 levels according to shadow stats it's 6.9 now the way we officially
00:59:42.440
tabulate it under this administration right so the 1990 measure would have it at 10 percent a little
00:59:49.540
over 10.3 the 1980 measure would have it at about 15 percent which is about what it was at the peak
00:59:55.660
of the badness the the end of carter beginning of reagan that that so all this means is we change
01:00:03.040
we take things out that we look at and say what are staples what are the things people need to have
01:00:11.080
and then we put them in a basket and then we do the price well we keep changing that and we take
01:00:17.420
things out of that basket like do we really need meat in that basket i don't think we need meat in that
01:00:22.640
basket um i don't know what we've taken out but we constantly are changing it and it always works in
01:00:28.060
the government's favor uh but you're looking if we would do it the way we did it under carter and
01:00:33.820
reagan you're looking at the same rate of inflation when it was at its worst and we are just beginning
01:00:41.620
so we got that going for us oh and just like jimmy carter when it was cold uh jimmy carter said
01:00:48.640
americans just need to learn to put a sweater on put a sweater on that's what you do don't worry about
01:00:53.160
the oil price just put a sweater on so i hope you give somebody a sweater if you can get it
01:00:58.660
if the stores have them available or if your store hasn't been looted uh if your store has any
01:01:05.200
employees that have decided to come to work and are not just living off the government dole just wear a
01:01:10.740
sweater that's all you have to do and thank your lucky stars for joe biden and his team right yeah
01:01:18.960
fancy he's done a great job so far he has um i go ahead uh do you want the uh this abortion update
01:01:26.120
that just came down from the supreme court i love abortion updates do we have any abortion update
01:01:30.220
themes or anything there's a musical interlude that ties to the abortion update so this is not
01:01:36.900
the mississippi case that was that was decided uh or you know was argued recently that is the kind
01:01:42.260
of the big challenge to roe versus wade this was the texas law they have a ruling that just came out
01:01:47.160
uh and this is not the supreme court saying whether they think the texas law is constitutional
01:01:51.940
or anything like that they had two things to decide basically can the people who don't like
01:01:56.920
the texas law challenge it in court and in the meantime will the law remain in place okay so what
01:02:04.240
happened was yes they can challenge it in court yes and yes it will remain in place for the time
01:02:08.540
being yay so just that's good it's an important uh update it is probably less kids being aborted
01:02:15.000
for the time being uh i think let's take them across state lines um the uh the interesting thing here is
01:02:21.720
that uh this is really this is a nice little effort but the real effort is is happening with the case
01:02:29.500
that was just argued in in court uh and that will dramatically change things i i spoke on studios america
01:02:37.860
last night i spoke to uh the woman the woman who wrote the bill you know all the reaction to the
01:02:45.640
supreme court oral arguments were like how can a man have an opinion on abortion and mansplain to these
01:02:52.100
female attorneys right what's right about a woman's right to choose well a female nurse wrote the bill
01:02:58.540
so i don't know if you happen to know that but it's true what'd she say she's really interesting she uh
01:03:04.600
she saw with her own eyes i mean she worked in in uh delivery rooms and saw with her own eyes you
01:03:11.160
know kids born at 14 weeks struggling to survive um you know she went through all of it and this is one
01:03:17.300
of the things that motivated her to write the bill and um she you know strongly believes that you know
01:03:23.160
life begins at conception but says also like okay this is a if you if i mean if you want to come up with
01:03:29.320
some sort of rational line to allow some of this that's why she pushed it to 15 weeks now um texas
01:03:35.120
has pushed it to six the the obvious choice here is zero weeks which i think is possible if they do
01:03:41.740
overturn road versus wade in some states but as you point out they can cross state lines they can get
01:03:46.320
abortion pills through the mail we have to just keep working to change people's minds on this because
01:03:51.220
that's that's where this really ends eventually yeah it you watch the extreme on the left new york
01:03:56.660
california massachusetts illinois they are going to kill them after birth if roe versus wade is
01:04:01.980
overturned mark by words this is the glenn back program all right why don't you take a minute just
01:04:09.800
to consider something how many times a day do you get on the internet how many times all of that time
01:04:16.120
reaching down uh for your phone all that time sitting in front of the computer you're on the internet
01:04:22.720
what all day long take your phone out of your pocket checking with twitter entertainment online
01:04:28.840
list goes on and on a lot of time spent online and the reason why i bring this up is because there is
01:04:34.260

really uncomfortable really uncomfortable he looks like an adult jason is our uh head writer uh foreign
01:05:47.300
affairs uh guy and chief researcher for uh the glenbeck program and uh is wearing a tie because
01:05:53.180
i told him i don't care if you have to go borrow a clip-on tie you have to have a tie we're going to
01:05:59.080
go speak to the president today i looked everywhere for sleeveless suits and they don't find them no or
01:06:05.480
instead of a coat like a biker vest yeah or something like that yeah they don't find that
01:06:08.940
i think that's uh supply chain issues that's what it was they're all off the coast i was doubting my
01:06:14.080
country for a little bit is this the first president you've ever met yeah yeah very first one i i saw
01:06:19.100
bush i've seen bush when he came to my college yeah but that was that's it first president uh i ever
01:06:25.180
spoke to i did an interview with uh ronald reagan and i had to be crazy 22 maybe at the time
01:06:33.540
thinking this is going to happen all the time and then there's a nice long gap no i didn't think it
01:06:38.120
would ever happen again i really didn't think it was a big deal oh yeah knew it was a huge deal i
01:06:42.540
sat in my desk at my desk in the production room because he was calling in the afternoon
01:06:47.140
and i waited and i had the producer check that line check that line make sure it can i can i hear
01:06:52.240
you can you hear me let's get it right because it's the president of the united states and i waited
01:06:56.320
away i must have sat in that production room an hour early just waiting and staring at that line
01:07:00.900
and when it went off pick it up mr beck yes please hold for the president uh and that when you hear
01:07:08.020
that that there's just nothing like that it is the coolest thing um we uh when you were probably 20
01:07:16.280
we went up and met with george hw bush yes at kennebunkport yeah at his place in kennebunkport
01:07:23.260
and it was it was at a time when technology was changing and we were going from tape to digital
01:07:30.120
and i don't remember where we were but we were oh i'm having flashbacks from oh my gosh we were so
01:07:35.260
freaked out because we had never used any equipment like this before yeah when when they told us we
01:07:41.400
were trying to get this interview it was something i think it was about september 11th
01:07:44.500
one year anniversary and we really wanted to get this interview and we when they said okay you know
01:07:51.640
you couldn't go up there and get the interview we had like no window to get from new york to
01:07:57.140
to maine with the exception of one train there was like one train that if we made there wasn't even a
01:08:02.460
flight that we could do it and get there on time so we had to take a train up to was it boston or
01:08:07.400
boston and then drive to benny buck it was the first time do you remember this it was the first time
01:08:12.440
either of us had seen gps in a car that's right yes it had the hertz rental car you remember those
01:08:18.160
old big awkward and if it wasn't for that we wouldn't have made it we wouldn't have made it
01:08:23.160
so because it was in the middle of the night and very foggy and we're like we don't have any idea
01:08:27.640
where we are so we're like okay because we're not doing it in a studio we're doing it at the guy's
01:08:31.180
house so they say okay we're like how are we going to record this so we have an hour to go to our
01:08:37.380
you know places get our stuffed for this trip we didn't know was coming and at the same time
01:08:42.360
our engineer ran all across new york to find something to record this interview with because
01:08:47.260
we didn't have anything ready to go they gave us back two different ways to record it where we're
01:08:52.320
both digital i had never used either one of them i had no idea how they worked and they were in the
01:08:57.100
boxes so we didn't even get a chance to test them and so we take the train up there we go through all
01:09:00.980
the prep and everything and get to the hotel at like midnight and the interview is in the in the
01:09:06.740
morning um and so i have to stay up i stayed up all night reading the manuals trying to figure out
01:09:14.080
how to work this stuff getting it all pre-set up because you know we didn't have enough time to set
01:09:18.080
everything up from scratch everything set up on my bed and then like i had to like sleep on the floor
01:09:22.540
for a half an hour afterwards when i was finally done and i i i will tell you i've never been more
01:09:28.120
obsessive about anything i checked all during the interview i kept looking over the president's
01:09:33.140
shoulder like you got this right i mean it's recording right and he would look at me and put
01:09:38.400
his hands up kind of like i don't know it was terrifying i tested it a thousand times that night
01:09:45.640
over and over and over and over again and i'm like okay i can never be sure but i this is as sure as i
01:09:50.300
could possibly be we went there recorded the entire thing got home to new york i opened it up played
01:09:55.240
back one of the two things did not work we got nothing on it nothing was that the first one we listened
01:10:00.080
to i maybe and i was like oh good god oh my god second one was there perfectly but the first one
01:10:06.920
it literally i it was literally one of the most stressful things that's ever happened to me my
01:10:11.980
entire life i don't think stew even processed that he was with the president yeah i didn't enjoy it i
01:10:17.300
don't even know what he said yeah he was just like i i i i i i i i i think i i think he almost went to
01:10:24.820
the hospital after that one that was it was very very it's the most stressful thing that's ever
01:10:28.680
happened in kennebunkport since then no there's been no stress in kennebunkport then george w bush
01:10:36.180
i went in couldn't have any cameras or record anything or write or even take notes and he yelled
01:10:41.240
for about an hour uh and then uh i was thinking we're going to mar-a-lago today the last time i was
01:10:48.240
at mar-a-lago trump just called me up and he was like hey you're doing one of your tours and i said
01:10:53.440
yeah and he's like you're in my neighborhood and i'm like okay and he's like where are you staying i said
01:10:58.400
i don't know and he said nah you're staying at mar-a-lago and so he put me up with my wife at
01:11:04.140
mar-a-lago for the night and it was bizarre yeah mar-a-lago is amazingly beautiful but it's also
01:11:12.120
it's from a an air it's an american castle yeah yeah and so it's like you've you know it's like
01:11:19.560
staying at the biltmore estate or something it's really really different uh it's amazing right i mean
01:11:25.840
oh it's amazing but it's amazing but it's it's like not a house it's not like hey come on over
01:11:31.060
and just hop on the couch we'll watch right you know watch some football or something no it's not
01:11:36.120
it's weird you know you know when your wife puts those chairs that are too cool or pretty to sit
01:11:40.560
in yeah that's the entire place i just stood there it is it is it is like because my mom used to always
01:11:48.120
say don't use those towels those are where my company comes over that's the whole place
01:11:52.760
that's the whole place uh so what are you going to talk to him about do you uh how well do you have
01:11:58.800
this thought out oh really well thought out i mean i know you've prepped but you also prep for
01:12:03.020
every speech i've ever seen and then you usually like go off plan when it comes down to it probably
01:12:07.540
do that as well i'm terrified of this plane ride over because everything we've prepped is going out
01:12:11.400
probably he'll probably roll the window down throw out the staff has been doing research and
01:12:15.580
everything else and they're like and i keep saying they're like you want to meet on this
01:12:19.220
and i'm like no we'll do it on the plane we'll be fine and uh and everybody knows he's gonna he's
01:12:25.160
gonna throw it all out our ep's face was white she was like uh that's the way this works she's not
01:12:33.040
used to that yeah yeah she's not used to that yeah so what are you gonna focus on uh the future
01:12:37.520
this this this interview is uh for january it'll be it'll be airing on the blaze in january
01:12:45.520
and i want to focus purely on the economy gas prices china uh ukraine um the the inflation and
01:13:00.560
the printing of money here's a guy who had pretty much all of that under control all of that under
01:13:07.000
control how how much damage is going to be done in the next three years what do the republicans need to
01:13:15.240
do in 2022 what do they not need to say what do they need to do if they win the house and the
01:13:22.940
senate how can they dismantle it and what if he runs for president which he's going to if he runs
01:13:30.040
for president what how do you fix this and how long would it take to return to some sort of normalcy
01:13:38.920
in the economy and the jobs and everything else i can't i can't wait to see what he says about
01:13:44.520
ukraine i i cannot wait it's just so current right now you know he's got to be living i saw swalwell
01:13:48.860
tweeting yesterday that he's like what do you expect when for four years our president was playing
01:13:53.540
footsie with uh russia i'm like he sanctioned nordstrom too he sent them weapons he did more stuff
01:14:01.460
against uh russia than obama did and certainly more than joe biden is doing joe biden just gave
01:14:09.140
them the candy store yeah russia invaded crimea under obama if if donald trump would have done
01:14:16.000
what joe biden has done in the last what nine months if he would have done it you wouldn't have
01:14:21.540
been able to convince me that there wasn't russian collusion i would have looked at that and said come on
01:14:27.340
he's playing for something this guy is giving them the whole store yeah helping them out and the
01:14:36.040
only thing i can think of is he's just trying to destroy america he's not getting anything out of
01:14:40.440
this his son might be getting something out of it for him but i don't know about that um but he's just
01:14:46.120
doing it because it's destroying us it is going to put us in the worst situation at some level you
01:14:52.320
just have to just dismiss the absurdity right it's like you're telling me the party of ronald reagan
01:14:57.140
is the one who likes russia like i i don't even understand what where did this come he wanted
01:15:01.820
to build a hotel there you know yeah he wanted to build a hotel everywhere yeah he'd build a hotel
01:15:06.160
everywhere everywhere that's uh that's not a surprise i don't think he's an international
01:15:10.980
businessman yeah he has uh he has some aspirations in all sorts of markets all around the world that
01:15:16.420
doesn't mean uh that's going to guide his policy and and you look at the difference between just
01:15:22.020
obama forget even biden who's obviously a complete joke but i mean you know even with obama
01:15:26.760
obama's policies were much lighter on russia than trump's were oh the reset button yeah the reset
01:15:32.300
button i mean you know trump at times said things that were not tough talk about putin and people
01:15:38.260
keep would judge him solely on that look at the policies implemented while he was i think the only
01:15:44.120
president that vladimir putin would respect would have been ronald reagan because putin would have
01:15:52.840
known this guy knows how to communicate to the american people he knows how to win the um the pr war
01:16:00.960
uh and he's no dummy on this he actually believes something i think putin would have had a hard time
01:16:08.500
with ronald reagan and the only other one is is donald trump because donald trump he knows the game
01:16:15.560
putin is playing he knows it he knows it uh and he he knows that putin is really a businessman he's not
01:16:24.860
running the country he's a businessman uh and he's running everything to be able to protect him how does
01:16:31.880
a guy go from a kgb colonel to one of the richest men in the world answer you're an oligarch you're
01:16:41.880
running the company the country and taking a piece of everybody's profit uh and you're selling out and
01:16:48.400
one thing about donald trump he knows how the game is played uh and he's just not willing to play it
01:16:56.460
i don't think he's just willing to play it he's it's going to be an interesting interview today
01:17:00.640
i'm anxious to see what his mood is as well and i'm doing it i think in his ballroom yeah
01:17:07.080
every house has to have a ballroom you know but um it's interesting because you know this
01:17:13.080
you know i believe he's going to run for president you believe it as well uh jason are you on that
01:17:18.400
bandwagon as well you think he's going to run i think he's chomping at the bit yeah and that's i
01:17:21.820
think that what's interesting about this is there's a there's a scenario where you know we're coming out
01:17:26.840
of a pandemic things maybe naturally improve you know the treatments get better people are back to
01:17:33.520
work the economy swings back and what world do you live in with the democrats doing this no i'm just
01:17:38.920
saying that like that like that was a possibility of just pure luck from biden on timing right yeah
01:17:44.020
he gets into the presidency and things are turning around naturally and it's a difficult road for a
01:17:48.740
challenger the exact opposite has happened i mean this there could not be a better road for donald
01:17:54.520
trump to return to the white house than joe biden's first year yes and you know you have to
01:17:58.900
it's only going to get worse it is it's only going to get worse and i i'll tell you i i talked
01:18:03.640
to jim jordan and i said you know if donald trump gets in is are the is the gop actually going to do
01:18:11.660
anything i said because everybody always says oh well you know we'll get rid of roe versus way but
01:18:16.120
you got to give us the house the senate and the white house and then you do nothing when you have

well cnn is just becoming so incredibly desperate um their empire and it's not just cnn it's the entire
01:20:02.360
corporate media structure is burning itself to the ground um their latest attack on cnn
01:20:09.020
or from cnn uh and here's their take on how sean hannity and right-wing media personalities are
01:20:16.020
using smollett verdict to attack the media the tactic is dishonest cnn writes yet simple take an actual act
01:20:23.840
of deception in this case one that was perpetrated by an actor and covered heavily by the press and
01:20:29.640
then use it to suggest that anything reported by mainstream sources cannot be trusted everything is a
01:20:35.380
first of all first first paragraph okay take an actual act of deception this case one perpetrated
01:20:42.760
by an actor yes and one not covered heavily by the press but one that was said was true by the press
01:20:51.780
and they became activists about that hoax then suggest that anything be reported by mainstream sources
01:20:59.700
can't be trusted because did you apologize are you going back to all of the people i.e joe biden and uh
01:21:08.340
and kamala harris and ask what do you have to say about this this was a hoax no propagandists know that
01:21:17.840
their power increases now listen to that so they're talking about how this is a dishonest dishonest tactic
01:21:23.760
by uh sean hannity and and the right uh media but in their second paragraph the first word is
01:21:31.400
propagandists so they are now taking everybody on the right and calling them a propagandist
01:21:38.640
they know their power increases substantially when they can convince their audiences not to trust other
01:21:44.380
sources of information so in other words like what you have done to me and others our entire career
01:21:52.220
how you have taken everything that we have done either out of context called it a hoax when it hasn't
01:22:01.080
been a hoax i am according to the new york times a conspiracy theorist no i'm not no i'm not but you're
01:22:10.820
using that tactic to discredit they are now trying to turn the tables they're exposing their own game
01:22:17.980
by defending themselves that game is almost over now
01:22:22.240
this is the glenn back program you know when i when i go up to the uh farm i uh we start a fire at

01:27:11.400
just my opinion richard paul evans welcome to the program how are you sir that's why carrie loves you
01:27:16.960
so much i know i know uh so uh richard you have a new book out called the christmas promise and i just
01:27:24.760
read and if i could i just want to read what's on the you know on the on the leaf here on the book
01:27:30.000
on the night of her high school graduation rochelle box father gives her and her identical twin sister
01:27:35.660
michelle matching opal necklaces these opals look identical he tells them but the fire inside each is
01:27:42.300
completely unique just like the two of you indeed the two sisters couldn't be more different than their
01:27:47.580
paths diverge as they embark on adulthood years pass until their fathers at their father's behest
01:27:52.340
they both come home for christmas what happens then forever damages their relationship and rochelle
01:27:58.920
vows to never see or speak to her sister again in in their father's last days he asked rochelle to
01:28:05.140
forgive michelle a deathbed promise which she never fulfills as her twin is killed in an accident
01:28:11.020
wow uh that a it sounds like a great uh opening of a story and a great plot for a story you want
01:28:19.960
to go into it anymore without giving it away yeah well it actually is based on the story of the
01:28:28.260
prodigal son and so i wanted to tell a story from the older brother's perspective hold on just a second
01:28:33.860
hold on just a second you sound you are you still do you still have walking pneumonia i do sit down
01:28:39.900
and then at least this plane pneumonia are you how are you feeling um not not too great oh my gosh
01:28:48.660
honey water we could have rescheduled this interview richard i'm so sorry i would never i would never
01:28:56.140
leave you in that oh my gosh i'm i'm sorry all right well you sit down and whatever you can do let's do
01:29:03.200
well hopefully i don't sound ridiculous but i i am so excited about this book and it's it just hit
01:29:09.600
all the nation's bestseller list usa today new york times and publishers weekly and um i had a movie
01:29:15.560
producer call me and then tell me that he um has already read it twice and this is his number one
01:29:20.740
goal is to get produced but most important i wanted a book that at this time in our country that people
01:29:26.660
would have something warm you know the book is about compassion it's about it's about not judging
01:29:33.260
each other and it's about loving each other for the fire that's within um do you watch do you watch
01:29:39.380
the hallmark channel sometimes yeah so i watch it and i only i've i've actually never been a fan because
01:29:46.920
it's so obvious the way all those stories are going to end but i i actually watch it with my wife in a
01:29:52.020
fun way but but it is they're always i don't know christmas is supposed to be a renewal of hope
01:29:58.800
and as cheesy as some of those movies are there is something special about christmas that allows you
01:30:06.040
to start all over again is that why you keep coming back to christmas in a lot of your novels
01:30:10.880
it is i mean they say the dance with who brung you to the dance and my first book was the christmas box
01:30:16.580
right and i spent years trying to get away from that i didn't want to be typecast as a christmas
01:30:22.040
author even though i mean the new york times called me the king of christmas fiction so i was kind of
01:30:27.120
stuck and i tried to get away from it that's why christmas is a time of redemption it's a time of
01:30:33.740
love it's a time when society comes together and why not why not embrace it you are you have a
01:30:42.180
fascinating life i wish i could live your life in so in in many ways you travel all over the world
01:30:47.560
um as you're doing research for your books i know michael uh michael vay you traveled all over you speak
01:30:54.920
um mandarin don't you yes i got to go back to taiwan and oh my gosh glenn it was just like it was just
01:31:02.640
like i wrote it in the book it's like this is it was like it really existed but the only way to really
01:31:07.860
get the feel is to go there um so but glenn you're the life i'd like to have no one dreams as big as
01:31:14.420
you yeah um so are are we ever going to talk about my son who read every single uh michael vay book we
01:31:24.780
read them together i think if you're looking for a christmas gift uh you know for your family to uh to
01:31:32.080
read i mean obviously the christmas promise is his book but if you've never read the series
01:31:37.240
uh that richard wrote uh michael vay it is great and we started reading him i think rafe was probably
01:31:44.380
seven or eight he just said to me the other day i said i'm trying to convince uh richard paul evans to
01:31:51.140
write another uh group of books on michael vay he said you're kidding me he's 17 and he stills you're
01:31:59.780
kidding me really when's that going to happen i said i don't know i you know i am hoping that he's going
01:32:04.820

any of his books he's actually i don't know if we've ever talked about this simon and schuster um
01:34:19.360
came to me because of the original ending of the christmas sweater is i think and always have felt
01:34:26.900
is a better ending i've always wanted to update the christmas sweater and give it the original ending
01:34:32.240
um uh but it was director's cut yeah yeah they thought it was depressing and i said no you read a
01:34:41.280
depressing book i can't even imagine they said it was depressing because in it mom dies but in it
01:34:47.140
you know it goes on for a couple more chapters uh and in it you see real redemption work out and
01:34:54.940
they were like you can't have a holiday book where mom dies and i'm like but it's that's the true i mean
01:35:01.620
it's better it's and they really didn't understand the idea and the concept of redemption they found
01:35:07.220
yeah but he see he learns all the lessons and they're like no no mom can't die i didn't know
01:35:14.020
how to write that and so i called richard paul evans i don't even know if we knew each other that well
01:35:19.160
back then and i said you know i i know you're the king of christmas i'm stuck i've got this book and i
01:35:26.580
can't i can't figure out a way to get this to be anywhere where i want it to be uh and mom lives
01:35:35.340
and he said send it to me let me look at it and he called me back in uh a couple of days and he said
01:35:41.140
okay here's what happens eddie has to do this this this this and this and he was the guy who
01:35:46.320
really is responsible for the ending of you know two million copies sold of the christmas sweater
01:35:51.920
and he's the guy who who wrote it the you know i mean are you trying to convince us he's a better
01:35:57.400
author than you because we already believe that clearly yeah yeah yeah you don't need to know
01:36:01.340
no work to meet done there uh if you walk around all day with food on the brain like i do
01:36:06.200
i can think of uh nothing you're gonna like better than having a rec tech it is it it will cook your
01:36:13.260
food to perfection it really does if you have a rec tech you have a grill you have an oven and you
01:36:20.800
have a smoker all in one and i don't know which it does best honestly whether it's a rack of
01:36:27.760
ribs steak slathered in butter burgers to die for or just a whole bunch of vegetables uh rec tech has
01:36:35.500
it rec tech built with solid stainless steel smart grill technology which means your foods heat
01:36:41.800
evenly all throughout the cooking process it even automatically adjusts the temperature itself as
01:36:46.860
needed and it it's smart grill technology there's nothing like it on the on the market and there is
01:36:52.540
nothing in its category especially at the price point but even if you look at the very best there's
01:36:58.160
nothing like it it's rec tech r-e-c-t-e-q dot com r-e-c-t-e-q dot com 10 seconds station id
01:37:05.340
as you got an older stew is christmas the same uh for you you know i i remember in my 20s and 30s
01:37:26.180
christmas was really i mean it was just i was really excited for christmas every year
01:37:31.820
and uh i don't know i the last two christmases i can't i guess not i mean maybe maybe it's just
01:37:40.660
this christmas i feel kind of out of step with it really yeah i do feel a little a little out of
01:37:46.140
step with this season but i'm pretty excited about it i mean now i also have young kids you know nine
01:37:50.320
and ten so they're in like peak christmas years yeah which is really fun but you you've been doing
01:37:55.400
this for a while i mean i remember when you my whole life i remember you had this one christmas
01:38:01.360
i think it was like the first time that you know there was any success with the show and then you
01:38:05.340
bought like everyone you knew ridiculous christmas presents oh my gosh and then the next year you're
01:38:09.700
like i've too much consumerism and you bought no one like your kids got i've swung both ways
01:38:15.960
lettuce if you will yeah i mean the i will tell you because it was the first year that ever in my life
01:38:22.380
i had money and i was like i'm gonna buy everybody everything i've ever wanted to buy
01:38:29.440
uh and and gave i mean just gave extravagant gifts to everybody it was the most shallow christmas i
01:38:38.380
had ever had yeah you hated it i hated it it was and i think the family i think the family would agree
01:38:44.700
that that was the the an empty christmas and i mean the boxes were stacked around the trees and we were
01:38:51.420
going to people's houses and giving them stuff it was it was so empty it was so empty the only things
01:38:57.740
that were good were the things where we were giving them outside of the house and they were the
01:39:02.920
littler things yeah no i mean you could definitely overdo it i i'm going uh back and forth with my
01:39:07.980
wife right now on this thing where she you know she wants to give less stuff to the kids um you know
01:39:13.560
like basically okay we don't need to get them nine million things they they open them up they play
01:39:17.300
with them for a day they never look at them again and of course all of these points are accurate
01:39:21.640
right like they do this they do open them up they do get excited for five minutes they do put them
01:39:26.680
down and then never look at them again like that's actually a real thing it is and she's much more
01:39:30.800
worried about like you know clutter around the house that i am right like i don't care like so
01:39:36.180
what they put stuff in their closet and don't look at it for a while and it doesn't bother me but it
01:39:39.340
bothers her so she's like well we should buy less stuff and then i've got her hand i'm like well you
01:39:43.440
know i don't know like they're in peak christmas year one time and they're gonna get incredibly
01:39:49.840
excited over every little thing we give them one or you know one little period of what five years
01:39:54.940
and then it's over and then like they look at their go oh thanks and then they they go out with
01:39:59.660
their friends like i i don't know i feel like i want to embrace every little bit of it you know
01:40:04.080
and if i want to if i see something i want to get the kids i'm going to get it for them if i can afford
01:40:07.220
it yeah i feel that i kind of feel the the same way i remember um when we first met uh i would just
01:40:15.740
broke as hell i mean i think you made more money than i did oh no that i can assure you that has never
01:40:22.240
been the case since we've known each other however i will say home more money well you you had some
01:40:27.400
external payments i did not have at that time yes i will say that yes little little remarkable but
01:40:33.680
uh and i remember i just couldn't afford anything and it was horrible because i felt like a i felt like
01:40:42.340
a failure as a dad and as a parent and i couldn't buy a little thing from cvs even that year uh that that
01:40:51.120
mary really wanted and uh oh my gosh that ate at me and ate at me and ate at me and you know we're
01:40:58.400
entering a time again where more and more people are feeling this kind of a pinch don't buy into that
01:41:05.620
don't buy into any of that crap yeah you know all your kids really want is time that's what they'll
01:41:14.540
remember right they're not gonna remember the extra little gift you give them nope uh but they will
01:41:18.820
remember you know we try to do we load up on these like little christmas traditions you know we go to
01:41:24.160
this place we go to this place we go to this festival we do like all of it and at times it does
01:41:28.880
get a little overwhelming because you've got you know four things scheduled in one day and you're
01:41:33.060
running around it's like is this fun i don't i don't know but it is i think important and you know
01:41:39.560
you don't have to do every little thing you don't have to go you know to every festival to remember
01:41:44.480
to have memories like that but i i think those traditions are super important you know i used to
01:41:48.720
put the lights up on our house with my dad every year and i hated it and it was always cold and he
01:41:55.920
would never let me on the ladder and i had to hold it and if it would have fallen i mean i it would
01:42:01.400
have done right yeah uh and uh i just always hated it hated it i remember it but i hated it uh and i'm
01:42:09.900
not i'm not i'm now it's just a good memory it's you know we used to do these things and i hated it
01:42:16.620
at the time but i i think you know i think some of those things that you do again it was just because
01:42:23.100
we did it together that i remember it you know like i don't remember i hated mowing the lawn i don't
01:42:28.860
remember thinking now back fondly on my times of mowing the lawn you know i mean this was a chore we
01:42:34.520
did every christmas but i did it with my dad and there's something to that you know we we get a live
01:42:41.760
christmas tree and uh and every year now because rafe's old enough and big enough we go out we pick
01:42:47.560
it out and he chops it down and you know we bring it in and i think that's a great memory our best
01:42:54.960
christmas memory was actually one of our worst christmases we went up to the ranch and everything
01:43:03.320
that could go wrong did go wrong we went out to this christmas tree lot and where you cut it down
01:43:09.000
yourself and uh my car uh because this is the time when we were still driving just the armored cars
01:43:16.580
the armored car we drove it onto a farm and it sank and uh armored cars aren't really supposed to be at
01:43:24.360
far no and it can and so we had to have somebody come tow us out uh and then we put the christmas tree
01:43:31.960
we wrapped it all up we were all cold everybody was you know not in a good mood we get onto this
01:43:38.100
highway and uh the car breaks down okay so somebody comes with a truck and says um uh you know the guy
01:43:50.280
who runs our farm came with his truck and he said you do this you just get the family into the truck
01:43:54.680
uh and uh or take take the tree and rafe and the kids in the truck and uh i'll bring the family home
01:44:01.380
behind you and somebody will wait for a tow truck so we go we go and i'm going home and we're talking
01:44:07.020
about how miserable this is we didn't pay attention the tree blows out of the of the uh truck and uh then
01:44:16.380
this car starts flashing its lights at us and speeding up and tailgating and you know we were still from new
01:44:22.440
york at the time and i'm like what the hell is this who is what are they doing you know not used
01:44:27.000
to people just being nice and saying hey your tree blew out we get almost to the house and i don't
01:44:32.320
want this person to know where we live so i just stop and pull over and he pulls over and he's like
01:44:36.780
hey i've been trying to catch up you like 10 miles back you your tree blew out and i'm like oh crap
01:44:42.400
oh crap we now look at that tree cutting day as the best tree cutting day we ever had as a family
01:44:52.420
yeah yeah that is that is always how it works out i feel like you have those memories you think are
01:44:57.660
gonna be you know it's the ones you plan you know they never work out but the ones where everything
01:45:02.020

01:48:04.320
um all right so here's the thing um you have and i don't want to talk about the the hallmark movie
01:48:11.320
because i hear it's nothing like the real story but a hallmark movie a god wink christmas miracle of love
01:48:18.380
is airing is premiering tomorrow night on hallmark and it is based on a story that happened to you
01:48:26.200
correct that's correct loosely loosely based now you're never going to guess how this ends
01:48:33.540
will the couple actually get together again will a miracle happen watch tomorrow night on hallmark
01:48:40.560
um but uh uh tell me the story quickly start you know you you know you you started dating your your
01:48:48.920
wife in the early 70s and then in 1975 something happens tell me tell me so uh we met that previous
01:48:57.280
summer and in and we built a relationship got engaged and a few weeks before we were to be married i was
01:49:03.560
working and i was involved in a horrible accident and uh in i was traveling i was in the small town
01:49:10.780
of oshkosh wisconsin and uh the doctors didn't think i would survive but one of them had gone to
01:49:17.200
a seminar which is where the god wink comes in which means a coincidence and they had i had a severe
01:49:23.920
liver injury okay hang on hang on hang on hang on hang on yeah you suck at telling your own story
01:49:28.820
let me let me help you out here just a little bit let me be hallmark here just a little bit
01:49:34.020
you were working you were working you were working like eight weeks straight so you could
01:49:38.780
pay for the honeymoon when you're getting when you're on vacation you're up in where wisconsin and
01:49:44.320
she's in san diego that's correct okay and you your your truck won't start that you're you're using
01:49:51.240
for your job and you get underneath it and the car brake goes out and actually lurches forward
01:49:58.800
and crushes everything from the belt up right except for your head that is very true and it did get
01:50:06.820
part of my head because it's it smashed my jaw in three places holy cow and so when you're laying
01:50:12.540
there how long were you laying there was anyone around so i was in the parking lot of a of a little
01:50:17.760
restaurant and uh i just i knew what had happened you know because and i thought well i'm dead i really
01:50:23.660
did and i had one of those moments where you hear from god and he said not yet and so i kind of tried
01:50:30.640
to holler and somebody ran up and this woman started screaming and they immediately called the emts and got
01:50:37.480
me to the the local hospital oshkosh mercy's medical center so your jaw your call both collarbones several
01:50:43.760
ribs broken right arm shattered um they actually went if i'm not mistaken they called uh your bride to
01:50:52.240
be and said don't rush he's not going to make it yeah she was actually at her bridal shower and my
01:51:02.180
father called her father and he called the church and said send joy home right now they got a hold of
01:51:08.440
the hospital and they said exactly what you said he's not going to make it don't rush out here um
01:51:13.820
we're so sorry you know uh but she jumped on a plane every anyway and obviously i survived and the first
01:51:22.340
thing i saw when i opened my eyes was her lovely face and i'm trying to figure out how did she get
01:51:26.840
here because you know i was yeah out of it for for several several hours so when you got in to surgery
01:51:33.540
your liver ruptured and that's normally a death sentence right correct but the guy who was just
01:51:40.460
happened to be on duty i mean you weren't with a special you were just at the hospital the next
01:51:45.340
hospital that could take you right correct yeah and he just happened to be on call okay and so he
01:51:52.100
happened to uh be on call and what had he just happened to do he had been at a seminar and there was a
01:52:01.080
another session with a billboard out there and it said uh new technique for liver trauma and he was
01:52:08.580
going to go home and he said well i might as well go to this and it was just the day before so therefore
01:52:13.560
the coincidence that the writer called a god wink and he said to his his partner uh one was named
01:52:21.300
graver the other was our partner was isom he said uh let's try this this kid's a goner anyway
01:52:26.840
so they used that technique and saved my life that is unbelievable really truly unbelievable
01:52:33.120
you've you went on i i just love this because i i love norman vincent peele um you uh uh you went
01:52:42.720
to work with norman vincent peele and donald trump as the co-chair of peele's 90th birthday right which
01:52:50.700
had to be well that yes that was a an amazing event where uh trump's father loved dr peele and
01:52:58.880
so when trump was a teenager there was an assigned seat for him to sit in peele's church in in uh you
01:53:05.920
know uh 29th and 5th avenue in manhattan every week and uh later when peele came around to this big
01:53:14.120
celebration for his 90th birthday trump and and then former governor john y brown of kentucky were the
01:53:20.260
co-chairs but trump was in charge and we met in manhattan and i was placed you know as the
01:53:26.380
staff executive responsible to help him with whatever he needed so i mean there were 20 people
01:53:32.380
in the room but i got to spend two or three sessions watching him orchestrate a wonderful
01:53:37.720
event for dr peele's 90th birthday and you've gone on to also you went to china uh and you were there
01:53:44.240
when the churches were open for the first time after 50 years yep and if that was an amazing
01:53:51.400
experience joy went with me um the chinese government was very anxious to show that they were
01:53:57.300
loosening at that time and uh we we went we attended a few church events but also experienced
01:54:05.360
through interview what many of the believers had gone through in terms of imprisonment and torture
01:54:11.360
during the the 40 years between when the churches were closed and when they were reopened
01:54:15.980
you also had three kids one of them is jason and now he's married to ricky which kind of makes it
01:54:22.660
it cheapens it a bit doesn't it i mean you've went on to do all these things
01:54:26.600
well i you know i can't say that because i never thought i'd ever get to be on glenn beck's radio
01:54:35.540
this is another amazing event in my life well i have to tell you um i saw a bit of the clip
01:54:43.340
what you just told me and what i knew it doesn't seem like hallmark it doesn't seem like anything
01:54:51.240
like what you just told me yeah so the only two things in the hallmark movie are our names
01:54:57.540
the fact that graber saved my life and that we and then joy ended up marrying me that's that's it
01:55:04.080
not even the injury nothing well well there's a oh yeah there's an injury but the the facts of the
01:55:10.300
injury are different because instead of meeting at a summer camp and going to work they have us
01:55:14.800
meeting on a habitat for humanity project and i actually haven't seen the whole movie so i don't
01:55:20.580
know all the details but um are you gonna watch it are you gonna watch it absolutely it's already
01:55:26.340
you know we're old now so it starts at 10 o'clock we might not make it but it's on record
01:55:32.040
it's on record eric great to talk to you sir thank you so much we'll be watching god winks uh the
01:55:40.360

01:55:46.740

01:55:53.720
tomorrow night on hallmark thank you so much eric god bless
01:55:56.580
so what distinguishes a truly great real estate agent from merely an adequate one or worse a bad
01:56:06.180
one that's a question was on my mind several years ago question that sparked the idea for a company that
01:56:12.080
i started six or eight years ago now um with uh my brother robert real estate agents i trust dot com
01:56:20.320
we were actually just doing i was doing other work with a bunch of real estate agents that had
01:56:25.740
just been dubbed the 500 best agents in the country by the wall street journal and i was struggling with
01:56:33.240
selling my house my brother was struggling selling his house and we're like okay guys what what do we
01:56:39.060
look for in an agent that's how it really started we look for those things in an agent and then we pass
01:56:45.960
it on to you for free it's no cost to you real estate agents i trust dot com real estate agents
01:56:54.240
i trust dot com we've done all the initial work to make sure that they're hitting all of the things
01:56:59.800
that the 500 best real estate agents in the country say yeah this is really important many of those agents
01:57:05.220
by the way are part of real estate agents i trust a free service to you if you're looking to buy or sell
01:57:10.360
across the street or across the country real estate agents i trust dot com the glenbeck program
01:57:29.760
what do you like for christmas i mean i mean i'm talking about you're not gonna get it
01:57:36.180
but what would you like for christmas um if you could pick anything a private jet yeah i think so
01:57:44.100
too i think that's what i would be like private that would be really cool that would be nice now
01:57:48.040
that would be santa it would be difficult for him to deliver it yeah the problem is santa doesn't
01:57:53.160
deliver the fuel for it either so yeah oh well i want it i want him to also deliver the fuel
01:58:00.100
reindeer power magic corn something like that that's fine with me it's fine with me just so it flies
01:58:05.420
because that is the ultimate i think i mean you know that's the ultimate thing to have i think
01:58:09.020
if you're gonna have sonic ice maker i just got a sonic ice maker and it is the it's one of the
01:58:15.900
things that i've i had that i was like we are rich when you say sonic you mean like the restaurant
01:58:22.560
sonic yeah yeah yeah like that type of ice that's small pebble ice yeah yeah the pebble ice that's worth
01:58:29.340
forgoing a car yeah it really is it really is that is that's brought so much joy i had some people
01:58:36.800
over and they said do you want uh do you want some ice in it uh or you just want the bottle and they
01:58:41.400
said no i'll take the bottle i said we have sonic ice and they were like are you kidding me and i'm
01:58:46.160
like right right this should be in every refrigerator door i don't know why it's not but it should be can
01:58:54.660
you buy i think you can i know you may not have a sonic near you many areas don't but if you have
01:58:59.680
one here can't you buy ice from them i think you can yeah i think you can that would be i should
01:59:03.800
start doing i don't know why i'm not doing that you could well you could probably a lot easier they're
01:59:06.880
not i mean a really good one is really expensive sure but um you can buy them pretty i mean you know
01:59:13.480
like it's so weird hundred dollars maybe five hundred dollars why is it better i don't know
01:59:18.900
but it is it is and it's great to chew on that's a rich man's gift yes that's a rich man's gift
01:59:26.120
it's great to chew on it's a great point why i don't know and it's completely unnecessary
01:59:30.720
completely unnecessary yes like fine ice everywhere else that's why it makes you feel rich because
01:59:36.760
you're just like no i have ice that you can't get at everybody else's house now normally the rich
01:59:44.020
person ice is like the balls of ice that come like like bourbon like you put in a cup of bourbon
01:59:49.420
like the the big cube one large cube in the middle of your drink really chew on that no you can't
01:59:55.560
chew on that no don't try it you get drunk enough you could try it yeah uh if you drink enough i
01:59:59.420
probably would have i probably would have yeah no i that's interesting i think you get to that
02:00:05.080
there are those like one of the one of the luxuries that i have in my life is that i i have we i go and i
02:00:12.040
buy uh every variety of soda that i could possibly want and i put it in one fridge and it's a soda
02:00:17.360
fridge and the soda fridge lives in our house it has nothing else in it i don't want any other
02:00:22.400
drinks no other no milk doesn't get stored there right only right my soda flavors and then there's
02:00:27.980
every so because i thought man cave you get a little fridge i got it too yeah don't even think
02:00:33.320
about coming into my refrigerator milk no and i don't want little i want a full-size fridge here's
02:00:39.240
what i kept thinking wow do you ever go you know when you go into a like you go to a gas station
02:00:43.760
yeah you go to a convenience store uh-huh and you walk up and they have all the flavors yes that's
02:00:47.960
the best moment that's the moment you want to recreate what if you want like a 7-eleven in your
02:00:54.320
house yes i want all the flavors so i could choose whatever i want whenever i want yeah and the thing
02:00:59.640
is it's not you know you buy i'd like a slushy machine where i could push for any flavor that i wanted
02:01:06.680
see these are the things this is never going to happen in joe biden's america no joe biden wouldn't
02:01:11.300
but if i tell you donald trump we'd still we'd have him under the tree at every poor people would
02:01:17.760
have these things you should when you're interviewing donald trump will you ask him if a slushy machine
02:01:22.880
in every household is part of his is part of 2024 two slushy machines in every garage
02:01:27.840
wait i don't know if i want a slushy machine in my garage i feel like it's a man cave usually is
02:01:34.440
usually a yeah you could have the garage really yeah thank you for that i appreciate that i do feel
02:01:40.820
like there is there's that section of because that's what the right gift is you can get someone
02:01:45.660
a gift that is maybe somewhat pricey or something but like it really is it's more about the value
02:01:51.480
versus the amount you're paying it is that's what makes christmas so hard you have to think
02:01:58.680
you know because it could really be something that's not expensive at all not expensive at all
02:02:04.680
yeah and you're like whoa i love this yeah and then you can go to the store and you could see
02:02:11.400
it's not on the shelves anymore and if it is it's up 45 percent right and that's your merry christmas
02:02:16.560
message for 2021 it's gonna be i mean i i feel like the absolute worst case scenario maybe hasn't
02:02:24.700
played out where there are things in the stores but i mean that could be around the corner for for
02:02:29.740
christmas you can buy stuff but it's if you want to get something specific you very well may be
02:02:35.260
completely out of luck i mean you know the playstation 5 came out in 2019 and you still can't really buy
02:02:42.080
it how is that possible what what what year is it i don't know what's happening i don't know i don't
02:02:49.860
know but i will tell you the greatest joy so far this christmas has been going with my kids my son
02:02:55.040
and i went shopping for boys that were in need uh and we went shopping and he convinced me to get
02:03:03.100
the batman lego uh the batman uh bat cave with the whole control board stuff on it and he was like dad
02:03:11.980
and i'm looking at it i'm like good heavens when did lego become that expensive but i will tell you
02:03:21.540
uh you know he took it out of his pizza money but uh i will tell you that the best joy was going
02:03:28.480
shopping for somebody else even kids we just didn't even know it is really good try doing that this
