00:04:09 And it's a great book if you're a Larry David fan.

00:04:12 And, of course, the news of the day, we start there in 60 seconds.

00:04:14 First, let me tell you about Relief Factor.

00:04:16 I've discovered the world's cheapest time machine.

00:04:18 It doesn't require plutonium, a DeLorean, or even an extension cord.

00:04:22 All you have to do is find, you know, something you haven't done since you were 25 years old and try doing it again.

00:04:27 You'll spend about 20 minutes convinced you've traveled back in time.

00:04:30 And then, the next morning, you'll discover you actually traveled about 70 years in the future, it feels.

00:04:36 relief factor is a drug free daily supplement designed to support your natural inflammatory

00:04:41 response of your body something that you consistently you know you don't even think

00:04:47 about but when you've overdone something on the weekend you do think about it over a million

00:04:52 people have tried relief factor two-thirds of them have gone on to take more i'm one of them

00:04:56 uh i can't promise you're gonna feel 25 again but you're gonna you'll be a lot easier to do things

00:05:28 Okay, so I came in this morning,

00:05:31 And the first thing Ricky said to me was, did we just, what was it, the apocalypse?

00:05:36 Yeah, I said, did we just survive the day after tomorrow?

00:05:39 Yeah, the day after.

00:05:41 I'm happy to say I just looked at my email last night, you know, like 6 o'clock, and I'm like, hmm, nobody's written me today.

00:05:47 Oh, well.

00:05:49 It didn't bother me at all.

00:05:52 In fact, I kind of enjoyed it.

00:05:53 I kind of enjoyed it until I actually had to do work, and then I didn't enjoy it.

00:05:57 I started writing last night, and I'm like, what?

00:06:01 And you realize everything is connected, everything.

00:06:04 And that's kind of the story here that we should be learning from Microsoft.

00:06:09 Their underlying server infrastructure, it's all interconnected.

00:06:15 And the problem is restoring the service is kind of complex.

00:06:22 I think they're finding out now.

00:06:23 Now, they're saying that this wasn't a hack.

00:06:25 i don't know how they know it wasn't definitely not a hack well how do you know it definitely

00:06:29 wasn't a hack uh until you know what it was they don't know what it was yet but they are fixing it

00:06:36 my email just came back but then it went out again um but

00:06:41 the real problem is i don't think this is all uh as safe and comfortable as everybody thinks

00:06:53 all of this stuff is so i would be i would be really prepared you know there was a story out

00:06:59 that we gave you a couple of weeks ago it was four o'clock in the morning uh on a monday in october

00:07:04 at a supermarket in dijon france um got a call because his his freezers were warming up so he

00:07:13 drives to the store and he opens up the freezers and hot air comes out and his store was just one

00:07:19 of about 700 across france single night hackers reached into the internet connected refrigerators

00:07:25 it took the controls and pushed the temperatures as high as 122 degrees

00:07:30 so tons of food was was rotten okay 15 fires broke out it was earlier this week that france

00:07:40 said they know who did it or they believe they know who did it a cyber unit of iran's

00:07:45 Revolutionary Guard. Now, Iran is denying it. But of course, I mean, you know, three weeks later,

00:07:51 somebody got into the cold rooms at three of France's regional blood centers and changed the

00:07:56 temperature settings on that. Now, that's not ice cream. That's blood for hospital patients.

00:08:01 And then in August, refrigerators at at least six American military commissaries went down

00:08:06 the same way. U.S. officials are now warning more could be coming. I think personally,

00:08:12 France was a test run. It was a rehearsal of some sort. And experts say, quote, it was easy for them

00:08:19 to do this. Now, the Microsoft outage could just be a Microsoft outage. But I don't like when

00:08:26 things start stacking up that look very similar. We are connected for everything. And you have no

00:08:34 idea. You know, in my day, you have no idea what it used to take before everything was all connected

00:08:41 with this wireless hubbub when i was in radio in the 70s and 80s if we needed to find out some

00:08:50 information you know i wanted to find out you know what's the official animal you know what's

00:08:56 the official animal you know of zimbabwe and how many are there whatever it was all this think of

00:09:02 all the stuff you google or you you chat gpt uh and ask all the time if i was on the radio

00:09:11 and i needed to know i would call the research librarian at the local library and i would say

00:09:19 hey can you tell me what the official animal was or is of zimbabwe and how many are left

00:09:24 and she'd say uh sure is there anything else and you go yeah i also want to know you know

00:09:29 whatever and she'd say okay i can have that information back to you how's tuesday

00:09:36 and it might be thursday the week before and you would wait and she would call you on tuesday

00:09:44 that's the way that's how fast things were back then think of what we have at our disposal right

00:09:51 now think about what happens when you can't ask the internet a question think about how

00:09:59 when you're trying to get a message to somebody how do you do it well i mean we've lost all of

00:10:06 these things how many people have a uh a regular hard line in their house we don't we did for years

00:10:15 we just when we moved from dallas we took it out ah we don't need a hard line well you might need

00:10:20 a hard line one of the things i would you know the the store manager in france he could check

00:10:27 his freezers and he did he got an alarm and an alert at four o'clock in the morning but he could

00:10:33 check his freezers from his phone but if you can check anything from your phone a hacker can do

00:10:39 that as well in france alone more than 1700 of those control systems are sitting wide open on

00:10:48 the internet that's what they found and it's not just supermarkets think about you and your life

00:10:53 It's your thermostat, your door lock, your garage door, your security cameras, your television, the microphone and television and camera on your television.

00:11:07 If you can preheat your oven when you're driving in the car and I got to turn on the oven and get the preheat going, somebody else can do that.

00:11:17 Anything that you can control from anywhere, somebody else can also control from anywhere.

00:11:23 Now, I don't know about you, but here's what I need my refrigerator to do.

00:11:30 I need it to think this all the time.

00:11:33 Am I at 36 degrees?

00:11:35 Am I at 36 degrees?

00:11:36 I'm at 36 degrees.

00:11:37 I'm good.

00:11:38 36 degrees.

00:11:39 36 degrees.

00:11:39 I don't need it to think anymore.

00:11:41 I don't need it to be smart.

00:11:42 I need it to stay at 36 degrees.

00:11:44 I don't need it talking to me.

00:11:45 I don't need to phone my refrigerator.

00:11:48 You know, I don't need any of that stuff.

00:11:51 i don't know why we do need all this up we have we have a refrigerator in dallas 0.98

00:11:57 i open it up and it's got a stupid camera in the inside of the refrigerator you know what it's for 0.96

00:12:04 my wife just said this you know it's for so if you're at the grocery store and you're like do 0.99

00:12:11 i have butter you can call your refrigerator and it will show you the inside of the refrigerator

00:12:17 so you can go oh no i'm out of butter that's the dumbest thing i've ever i said we don't have that 0.72

00:12:22 connected to and she says like hell no no we don't have that came of the place i don't want that i

00:12:29 don't want it if it doesn't need to be on the internet don't give it access to the internet

00:12:36 this is really important refrigeration does not need wi-fi to be cold so what you what i urge you

00:12:45 to do this weekend is find out what in your life is connected now here's the easiest way to do it

00:12:52 log on to your routers app because it will list every device on your network and if you see your

00:12:58 refrigerator or your washer why do you need your washer connected you know what i've got to start

00:13:06 i've got to start drying those clothes at 4 p.m but i'm going to be away wait until five when you

00:13:12 get home why do you need that if anything your washer anything your oven is online take it offline

00:13:22 you can also look for the wi-fi symbol on the display search the model or number online your

00:13:28 every every appliance that you have turn it off go into the appliances setting menu and switch off

00:13:35 wi-fi but then you have to go to your router app and block it make sure it because it'll sneak

00:13:42 back on yeah yeah it will sneak it's a smart refrigerator you know if you can't find the

00:13:49 setting change your wi-fi password do this this weekend only reconnect the devices that you

00:13:55 actually need online for what you keep connected change all of the default passwords that's one

00:14:04 of the biggest things that's how they got into these refrigerators nobody checked the default

00:14:07 passwords they came with the default password you know one two three four five and that's what they

00:14:12 did so all of these supermarkets because they had the password they had the you know and have you

00:14:17 even thought about is anybody actually have you ever do you have a refrigerator that's a smart

00:14:23 refrigerator i have no idea see you have no idea neither do i neither do i most people don't and

00:14:31 if it comes and it decides to connect itself it shouldn't be able to do this but if it connects

00:14:35 itself in your online turn it all off put the devices if you need something online put it on

00:14:44 a separate guest network away from your computers away from your bank accounts put a cheap thermometer

00:14:51 in your freezer one that's not connected to anything trust what you can see with your own

00:14:56 eyes not what the digits say up above keep a pantry we've told you prepare keep two weeks of

00:15:02 food that doesn't need a plug water make sure you have that a way to cook if the power goes out

00:15:09 and then know your neighbors because if your systems fail the people on your street are your

00:15:14 backup network unless you all fail and then hopefully you've all gotten together and gotten

00:15:19 to know each other this is not about fear this is about ownership every convenience we hand to a

00:15:25 machine we hand to whomever can reach that machine that's what the guy is in france found

00:15:32 out at four o'clock in the morning jeez i didn't even know we could do this yeah they found that

00:15:38 out at four o'clock in the morning you have the advantage he didn't you now know so please take

00:15:46 this weekend it'll take you 10 minutes even just take your phone and just stand by your your phone 0.94

00:15:53 it with bluetooth and see if it's if it's trying to connect bluetooth turn the damn thing off

00:16:00 wi-fi just stand by your devices turn it on and search and make sure it's not searching to connect

00:16:08 to anything you've got to do this let's be the group of people that are prepared not the people

00:16:15 that are like i didn't even know that could happen all of a sudden my blender walked up the stairs and

00:16:19 threw my dog inside and put it on frappé. Make sure you turn everything off. All right, back in

00:16:26 just a second. First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. It's Preborn. When a woman

00:16:30 is considering an abortion, particularly a chemical one using an abortion pill, the window of

00:16:35 opportunity to reach her is extraordinarily short. She's frightened, she's probably alone,

00:16:41 and she's making one of the most consequential decisions of her life while feeling like she has

00:16:46 absolutely no other choice. She does. Preborn supports pregnancy clinics that offer women

00:16:51 compassionate counseling and free ultrasounds, giving them the opportunity to see their baby

00:16:55 and learn about the support available to them. And the goal is to reach these women before they

00:17:00 take that first abortion pill, not after the decision has already been made, but while still

00:17:05 there, while there's still an opportunity to choose life. If you can give $28, that provides

00:17:11 one ultrasound. If you're a business and you've had a good year, would you consider a write-off

00:17:15 Donation of $1,000, $2,000, $10,000, $15,000 buys an ultrasound machine for a needy clinic,

00:17:22 and that will save countless babies for years to come.

00:17:26 All gifts are tax-deductible and will reach through the eternities.

00:17:29 There is nothing we can do that will bring more blessings on us and our nation than saving God's children.

00:17:46 seconds station ID.

00:17:58 So, um, I had a Joe Lonsdale on yesterday. I really like him. He's the, uh, uh,

00:18:07 the co-founder of uh palantir um just a really brilliant guy and i was talking to him about uh

00:18:18 nvidia and said you know you know what do you what do you take from all of this where are we

00:18:24 on this story what is what does it mean listen to what he said this from the last night's podcast

00:18:29 a lot of people are worried that this is an operation to bring these to light now to take

00:18:34 him out because he's been a very strong advocate for open source and there's this big battle in

00:18:39 the tech world between open source and closed source if the left gets in charge and bans open

00:18:43 source it could technically use that for like a really scary form of authoritarian censorship

00:18:48 a lot of people are worried about that okay wait wait wait if it's if it's open source you think

00:18:53 that's no if you ban open source so basically if you say okay yeah yeah yeah if only one or two

00:18:58 models are going to be allowed that everyone's going to be using then you can control how those

00:19:03 models think what they demand how they watch you uh how they correct you i mean even now listen and

00:19:10 i'm investor and an anthropologist in too many companies right but and generally i think they're

00:19:14 pretty reasonable but there are some people there who are more left than me and you can imagine the

00:19:18 government working with them and putting in some thought policing and that would be really scary

00:19:23 you know it's interesting um because uh many of your friends who voted for the left will not

00:19:32 say this um but you know they were concerned that donald trump was going to become authoritarian

00:19:37 and he was too close to these companies etc etc and i have the same fear i do not trust these

00:19:43 companies and i also do not trust our government i don't you know and joe and i talked about this

00:19:48 in the podcast by the way you can get the podcast now at glennbeck.com slash torch if you're a torch

00:19:54 membership it's up it came up last night at five o'clock uh and it'll be available everywhere

00:19:58 wherever you get your podcasts on saturday um but we were we were talking about this and i said i

00:20:05 don't trust the companies and i don't trust the government i don't i mean somebody is going to

00:20:10 control this thing but but think go back now and think about um huang uh and and what's happening

00:20:21 to him they're now i mean we knew we found out yesterday that they knew about this affair a year

00:20:27 ago the government did you know marco rubio the president was briefed on it and they never briefed

00:20:34 him they're now saying the reason why they didn't possibly is because there's no evidence that she's

00:20:42 a spy there's no evidence of that so all of this was out for a year uh last spring this came out

00:20:49 uh in the press so everybody knew the story and now all of a sudden it's a dog pile why

00:20:55 why as as joe was saying it could be because he's a strong advocate for letting everyone

00:21:06 have their own ai so it's open it's not closed ai otherwise it'll all that power will concentrate

00:21:13 in just a couple of places and it'll be extraordinarily dangerous and now who's in

00:21:19 charge the people who want that control the people who are actually i mean they could destroy the

00:21:27 economy they could also destroy freedom these are the people with a track record and they are the

00:21:34 ones that i mean i think you know we we had carol roth on yesterday and she made a really good

00:21:39 point she's like do you think it's a coincidence that this is happening as they're gaining power

00:21:44 that they go after the most powerful guy and the most powerful company in America, in the world.

00:21:50 No, they are teaching these companies, we will destroy you. 0.99

00:21:54 You will bow at our feet or we will destroy you. 0.98

00:21:58 That's a real possibility that no one should dismiss.

00:22:03 These guys, Huang was probably more powerful in many ways in the world

00:22:09 than the president of the United States.

00:22:11 he controlled the biggest chip maker in america he he his tentacles went everywhere and if you

00:22:23 don't think that these guys who are running these companies are that powerful you're fooling

00:22:29 yourself yet there's times that i don't know who's running what is the is the government running the

00:22:34 the you know the AI or is AI running the government I don't know the answer to that

00:22:42 and look at how much money and how much struggle to become the president of the United States

00:22:47 you don't think there's that kind of power trying to get the right people into the CEO positions of

00:22:54 these companies of course there is we're watching a show we're watching a show be very very very

00:23:01 careful all right let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour it's my patriot supply

00:31:40 all erections and hotness out of your life for a very long time, very long time.

00:31:51 Okay. Let me give you a good story. Can I give you a good story?

00:31:58 1968. Guy named Michael, 21 years old. He's drafted. It's August in Vietnam.

00:32:06 he's fighting gunfire finds his legs

00:32:13 he's not going to die on the battlefield they scoop him up they put him in a helicopter and

00:32:19 they fly him uh at an army field hospital and he remembers the blood that they put him that they

00:32:26 put in him he was losing so much blood they just grabbed blood out of the refrigerator put it it

00:32:31 was so cold it put him into shock you pass out sometimes you wake up sometimes you don't well

00:32:38 he woke up and the nurse standing there trying to make him comfortable said her name was linda

00:32:43 picker and she said where are you from and he said buffalo buffalo new york she said i'm from uh

00:32:51 tonawanda new york a world away from home half on the other side of the planet the nurse at his

00:32:56 bedside had grown up just down the road from him well the next few days don't look good and the

00:33:03 doctors are planning to amputate his left leg and nobody told linda picker what to do about that

00:33:09 but she came in on her own uh on her you know time off she came in and she irrigated all three

00:33:16 of his wounds so the swelling would go down the next day michael was off the amputation list

00:33:22 nobody said anything there was no ceremony no medal no note in the file that anybody would

00:33:28 ever read just a leg that was still there the next morning and then the army did what the army

00:33:33 always does it moved him uh vietnam to japan japan to alaska alaska to valley forge pennsylvania

00:33:38 hospital after hospital on a leg he was never supposed to keep with no chance to go back and

00:33:44 thank the woman who saved it and just did it because that was you know that's what she did

00:33:48 But he never forgot her. Over the years, he has tried to find her. He never could. He comes back home. He builds a business in Buffalo. He raises a family. The whole time somewhere out there is a woman who had no idea what she started.

00:34:03 so michael has just been inducted into the new york state senate veterans hall of fame

00:34:10 and the ceremony was in tonawanda her hometown so he stands up to speak and he tells the story

00:34:20 and her name linda picker a woman heard about it on the news her boyfriend was a genealogist

00:34:28 nobody knew no she wasn't there in the crowd nobody knew who she was so this woman hears about

00:34:35 it she calls her her boyfriend and she says you got to find this girl for him you have to

00:34:40 the very next day michael the vet his phone rings they'd found her

00:34:47 this guy had spent a lifetime looking for the genealogy guy found her in a

00:34:58 day. He sent Michael a video from last year, an honor flight out of Austin, Texas, and there

00:35:07 laying a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier was a former army nurse named Linda

00:35:12 Nightstep. That's her, Michael said. 58 years later, he sees this video. He's like, that's her.

00:35:19 A woman who wouldn't let his leg die off and be taken.

00:35:27 Standing at the grave of a man nobody could name.

00:35:32 So Michael writes her a letter.

00:35:35 The Honor Flight folks in Buffalo and Austin make sure it got to her.

00:35:40 She gets the letter. Within the same hour, she calls.

00:35:44 They talked for half an hour.

00:35:46 58 years of silence

00:35:48 Only that bedside moment

00:35:51 As he's coming out of shock

00:35:53 She couldn't wait an hour

00:35:55 To call him

00:35:56 Nobody will ever write down

00:36:01 The good thing you do

00:36:02 When nobody asked you to

00:36:04 You think nobody remembers

00:36:08 Look at this story

00:36:09 Her good deed just goes

00:36:12 Walking around for the next

00:36:13 50 years

00:36:14 so they talk for half an hour

00:36:17 but a phone call isn't enough

00:36:18 other people started working behind the scenes 1.00

00:36:20 to get Linda to Buffalo 0.97

00:36:21 she's coming in 1.00

00:36:23 to Buffalo

00:36:28 on Sunday

00:36:31 Monday morning at the Reichardt house

00:36:34 in Amherst

00:36:34 she and Michael are going to be the guests of honor

00:36:37 Michael said

00:36:40 the most important part of this

00:36:46 is not the ceremony

00:36:47 it's the introductions

00:36:49 he said I just

00:36:52 want her to meet my family

00:36:54 because standing in that

00:36:56 room will be three generations

00:36:58 came from me

00:37:00 people who as he

00:37:02 puts it might not have existed if it

00:37:04 wasn't for her all of them

00:37:06 standing in a 0.95

00:37:08 on a leg that a nurse from upstate New York decided was worth one more try.

00:37:18 Michael says every man ever wounded in combat was cared for by a nurse,

00:37:22 and every one of them will guarantee with his life.

00:37:32 He said, I would guarantee every one of them would love the chance to say thank you in person

00:37:37 and most ever get it, and I get to do that on Monday.

00:37:41 Imagine the butterflies in both of their stomachs this weekend.

00:37:52 The things that you do, whether good or bad,

00:37:56 that you think no one will ever see,

00:38:01 are noticed, and they make a difference,

00:38:05 good or bad they make a difference do the next right thing

00:38:24 beautiful kitchen the backyard the extra bedroom the great deal you negotiated but i'll tell you

00:38:29 something about a really good real estate agent sometimes the most valuable thing that an agent

00:38:33 does is to keep you from buying the house in the first place. Maybe there's something wrong with

00:38:36 a property that you haven't noticed. Maybe they know something about the neighborhood or that

00:38:40 area. They know that a giant highway is actually, I mean, when I first moved to Texas, I had no idea

00:38:45 there were, there were these roads and highways, everything was being expanded. And we were about

00:38:50 to buy a house that was going, it was going to have a highway like right on its curb. I had no

00:38:55 idea. It looked like a country road when we first moved there. That's why my brother and I started

00:39:00 realestateagentsitrust.com. We wanted people to find experienced professionals who understand

00:39:05 their job is to represent your interests, not just get a deal closed. Whether you're buying

00:39:09 or selling, the agent you choose can make an enormous difference in the outcome. Please

00:39:14 check out realestateagentsitrust.com. We'll show you the right agent that can help you buy or sell

00:40:41 slash Glenn you know can I can I ask you a question back to Huang why does anybody care

00:41:06 about this you care because it's the possibility and it looks like i mean i've been making fun of

00:41:12 this obviously we've been joking but we don't even know if she's a spy and with the way the

00:41:18 government reacted unless something dirty is happening in the government which oh let's see

00:41:22 if that could ever happen um it doesn't look like she was a spy that she may not have been

00:41:30 a chinese spy so if that's true why does anyone care about this because do you need your chips

00:41:36 to be made by the pope is that what it is i'm just using the arguments of the left i don't need a saint 0.72

00:41:42 as a ceo of nvidia okay so why do you care about this what why is this such a big scandal

00:41:50 you know and the people that are defending him you know elon says he'd hire him

00:41:56 well you know i probably wouldn't hire him i i wouldn't hire him because i like people have

00:42:03 higher moral standards around me but elon i mean he's naming his kids x1b i mean you know his

00:42:09 standard is pretty low on stuff he's just looking at the product and if you're not sleeping with

00:42:15 chinese spies why does the left care why is this a story why and boy to those who are on the left

00:42:25 If she's not a Chinese spy, is it because she's Asian?

00:42:32 I thought you were just saying about Glenn Beck, how dare he say Asians? 0.95

00:42:36 We don't don't sleep with Asians. 0.97

00:42:38 Oh, but but she's not a spy. 0.99

00:42:41 So is that are you just assuming that all Asians are spies?

00:42:44 I'm trying to I'm trying to figure this out here.

00:42:46 I don't.

00:42:48 You know, we need to adopt Saul Alinsky.

00:42:52 I'm going to explain that next hour.

00:42:54 We need to adopt what Saul Alinsky did, which one of his rules for radicals was hold them to their own standards.

00:43:02 It's time we start doing that.

00:43:04 You know, certain headlines kind of remind you of just how bad human beings are at predicting

00:43:24 what they'll need to be prepared for. Here's one. A lab worker in Russia died anti-plague

00:43:29 laboratory. Nearly 200 people have been quarantined. The suspected disease is mnemonic plague,

00:43:35 which can spread from person to person rapidly. The risk to Americans right now, very, very low,

00:43:41 but that's not the point. You don't prepare because you know what the next emergency will

00:43:45 be. You prepare because you don't. That's one reason I appreciate the Jace Medical and Jace

00:43:50 Case. This Jace Case gives you a supply of prescribed emergency medications to have on

00:43:55 hand along with information about how and when they should be used here's what caught me my

00:44:00 attention about this story when caught early plague can be treated with common antibiotics

00:44:04 that already come standard in the jace case i'm not telling you plague is coming to your house

00:44:08 it's not nobody knows that if or when and i don't think it is but jace.com use the promo code beck

00:48:15 Were you in Texas?

00:48:16 No, I missed you.

00:48:18 So I tried to catch up with you when I was in Texas.

00:48:22 I was messaging your team saying, let Glenn know I'm here.

00:48:26 But I'm now back in the UK ahead of some Christmas shows that I'll be doing here.

00:48:31 Okay.

00:48:32 Well, I'm bummed.

00:48:33 We tried to schedule our travels between us.

00:48:36 It was really hard to line it up.

00:48:38 But thank you for letting me know when you were in Texas.

00:48:42 My wife and I really want to go see one of your shows.

00:48:45 And congratulations on those.

00:48:46 They're sold out all over the world.

00:48:48 Thank you.

00:48:49 You've had a remarkable comeback.

00:48:52 I mean, you were hated.

00:48:55 And now, I mean, you really put them in their place.

00:49:00 I mean, I don't know.

00:49:01 I don't know how I lived long enough to see my fortunes turn around again.

00:49:08 You know, I went through early phase of my life being military,

00:49:11 then going into the media and being everywhere all the time on everything with my own show my

00:49:17 own column my own radio you know how it goes and then utterly removed and I don't just mean you

00:49:24 know cancelled you know my story but utterly eviscerated from the face of the planet and

00:49:30 by some miracle and thanks to a global pandemic that completely set the world on fire

00:49:37 And thanks to a lot more people realizing that we are losing our right to speak freely, I now find myself not only able to speak in my country, but to rabble raise sufficiently to sell out tours here in the UK and also most recently in America.

00:49:55 So I'm a very grateful and lucky lady.

00:49:57 what do you think about you know last time i saw you i think it was in america and we were uh

00:50:04 talking about your love for texas and common sense and looked like things were really what

00:50:09 the hell happened any comments on election well yeah i mean so i came out uh your audience will

00:50:17 know some of them will know me and know that i'm all in i'm all in for the win so you know

00:50:22 every election going back 2016, 2020, 2024, I've been all in. And so I threw myself on the road

00:50:32 ahead of the midterms to help rally the red in any way I could. Very often just working. I tried to,

00:50:39 Glenn, go to the places that others don't. So I went to California, San Francisco. I was going

00:50:47 through all of the places where people think that there's no red anymore I went to Portland to Oregon

00:50:54 Redmond um it was in the desert then I was in Detroit did a stand-up gig in Detroit with

00:50:59 Republicans there so really rallying the red in the bluest of blue and and you will know how much

00:51:06 my heart breaks for Texas to see Tallarico get the win there um and also I was politely doing a

00:51:13 very british thing of holding my tongue um about some of the candidates that were put up by the

00:51:20 gop because of course my heart is also with the volunteers the national federation for republican

00:51:26 women these amazing patriots who work so hard to support candidates and sometimes i think it is

00:51:34 fair for this foreigner and outsider to say we just need excellent candidates if i can put it like

00:51:40 that um let me uh let me change to uh story about russell brand i i don't know him uh you know i 0.97

00:51:50 know that he lived a oh really wretched debauchery uh kind of life uh for a long time um and in his

00:52:00 own words i mean he's admitted some stuff that is just beyond remarkable and i and i don't know

00:52:07 you know the uk i don't know anything really deeply about him um but it seemed to be everybody

00:52:15 knew this everybody knew this um and then all of a sudden he speaks out about uh covid and you know

00:52:25 these charges come up and uh he they investigate him and they put him in jail meanwhile they don't 0.99

00:52:32 care what happens to your nine-year-old daughter uh you know from you know from a cult of muslims

00:52:39 that are you know passing your daughter around they can't find a way to investigate that or put

00:52:44 those people in jail but russell brand is in jail now it it seems to me if what was said is true

00:52:51 and it doesn't seem to you know i mean he seems like kind of the guy that was kind of doing that

00:52:58 with implied permission in his own head um uh but then i read it seems like he should be in jail but

00:53:05 then i read some of the transcripts i see some of the stuff that came out of the court and it's like

00:53:09 wait but wait wait wait wait i mean even one of the accusers was saying no it didn't happen exactly

00:53:17 that way and i i don't know what happened here katie is is he a good guy that i mean not a good

00:53:23 guy but a guy who is they just hunted for or does he belong in jail i mean i think there's sort of

00:53:30 a lot of people's feelings or opinions but i think there's just some basic facts to this

00:53:35 that uh help simplify it i should say very quickly up front russell and i in all of my life but

00:53:43 certainly in the early phases where i was uh you know hardline right wing and he was hardline left

00:53:50 wing at the time we were huge adversaries there's a clip where he is just absolutely you know my

00:53:57 name is Mark he calls me the puss from the pimple of humanity I mean we couldn't be more opposed so

00:54:04 so just to say I was never or in his eyes I was never his ally but of course as with all good

00:54:12 truth seekers what we actually care about is the truth and what we can acknowledge with Russell is

00:54:19 he always said he lived a debauched and hedonistic lifestyle his life was a mess he was a drug addict 0.94

00:54:26 a sex addict whatever else addict none of my particular business to be honest because I didn't 0.97

00:54:31 go to his events and I didn't go backstage with him because I wouldn't have however then of course 0.99

00:54:36 he comes over to the right he finds Jesus he's over in America he's living this new Russell

00:54:41 brand and you know he he's beguiling because he has this amazing lexicon like his ability to use

00:54:48 language is very you know there's something very magical about his ability with language

00:54:54 regardless channel 4 a tv show in our country you know like a cnn or whatever did an investigation

00:55:03 on russell brand that's where these women were prompted to come forward with their complaints

00:55:11 over 20 years after they happened and the court case happened after the tv documentary so in my

00:55:23 opinion he was found guilty by the left-wing media all of those who promoted him so heavily

00:55:33 enabled him every step of the way they have scurried like rats they are rats running for the

00:55:41 bins because they don't want anything to do with this now which i find to be morally despicable

00:55:45 like either you have a view on someone or you don't and then if i may say and i'm saying this

00:55:50 from a female's perspective as well personally i read a little of what was going on and i don't 0.96

00:55:59 believe you can do some of the things these women did and then complain because without being 0.97

00:56:06 graphic then complain that something more than you expected happened so for example if I went

00:56:13 to Russell Brown's home where he invited me after we'd already done certain things

00:56:18 I think I was going there for those certain things as well so I guess that's been my what I've been

00:56:24 trying to elevate is these left-wingers who promoted him and the fact that it is only since

00:56:32 he cleaned up his life he got sober he has a wife he has a children he found god and he was happy in

00:56:40 america only then did they come for him and not just come for him i mean he's been given effectively

00:56:46 a death sentence because if he's got that inside which he very you know most likely will be he

00:56:52 won't make it out of a british prison um tell me while that's saying a mouthful um tell me what

00:56:59 you think about this let me play douglas murray he just came out with this this week russell brand

00:57:04 has now been found guilty of rape at a trial that ended last week with sentencing on monday a jury

00:57:10 convicted him of many though not all of his charges for the comedian turned left-wing then

00:57:16 right-wing charlatan the laughter has finally stopped the most striking shift in brand's career

00:57:22 was his move from the political left to the political right.

00:57:26 Some of us despised him in both of these guises.

00:57:29 For years, Brand was unavoidable.

00:57:32 But then the music changed.

00:57:33 The once cheering supporters and partners slunk away or spoke out too late.

00:57:38 The laughter died.

00:57:42 He's saying he's a charlatan in both of those,

00:57:46 but the timeline, and again, I don't know any of this stuff,

00:57:51 But the timeline seems like the left, he took the left on when the left was at the zenith of their power.

00:57:58 He wasn't slinking away when they were losing their power.

00:58:02 When they were at their zenith is when he changed, correct?

00:58:06 Yeah, and I think, you know, full respect to Douglas, whom I've loved for generations, as so many of us have.

00:58:12 However, I think a couple things there.

00:58:15 Douglas I mean I love it because it's so amusing to me when Douglas is so judgmental did this

00:58:22 happen no did this happen yes like Douglas Murray is the ultimate voice of authority on everything

00:58:29 it is just Douglas's opinions and I haven't ever despised Russell nor any anyone particularly I

00:58:36 don't think that's a valuable way of investing emotion but regardless you know I do think

00:58:42 what Douglas is missing there, because he has always enjoyed a rather comfortable position of

00:58:50 being of the upper echelons of society. And despite having similar opinions to me or Tommy

00:58:56 Robinson, Douglas does rather get away with it because he has the inordinate ring of power,

00:59:01 the gold signet ring. And what I find and observe very acutely, because I'm me,

00:59:06 is the closer that you get to jail, the more you recognise when injustice has been done

00:59:14 because it's coming my way. So Douglas doesn't suffer from that, obviously, but I'm very conscious

00:59:21 of it because there's not many of me left. Most of my right-wing allies are in jail. So I think

00:59:28 Douglas is being rather dismissive there, probably didn't enjoy sharing the US circuit with Russell

00:59:35 And I don't think he's entirely correct in what he's saying.

00:59:39 And also, I do believe, actually, that Russell cleaned his life up.

00:59:43 I do see that despite having, I think, 6 million, 8 million subscribers on his podcast,

00:59:49 he did call out against the COVID madness.

00:59:52 And he did call out Big Pharma.

00:59:54 You know, and I have a lot of respect for anybody who was bold enough to do that in those years.

00:59:59 Agree, agree, agree.

01:00:01 Katie, great to see you.

01:00:02 God bless you.

01:00:03 It's good to see you too.

01:00:05 Yeah. We'll see you again. Thank you. Thank you so much. Bye bye. Bye bye. I just love the English,

01:00:13 you know, even, even, I mean, they're, they're extra funny when they start to really go off

01:00:19 the deep end because they're always so restrained. And I love Douglas because he's always so

01:00:24 restrained. He's always like, and, and I believe, uh, you know, uh, I, uh, I might, uh, at this

01:00:32 point be on fire and you're like okay all right we'd all be screaming anyway katie hopkins uh you

01:02:13 You know what?

01:02:14 We have to play. I saw the movie

01:02:16 Jimmy.

01:02:18 And it is...

01:02:19 He's one of my favorite people in the whole world.

01:02:22 And it is a great

01:02:24 movie. You'll really enjoy it, especially

01:02:26 if you're a jimmy stewart fan or if you like you know it's a wonderful life i promise you you'll

01:02:30 never watch it's a wonderful life again uh the same way it's the true story but we were talking

01:02:35 to some of the uh 20 somethings on the staff and i said hey can you find the bow poem you know that

01:02:41 he did with uh johnny carson and all the 20 somethings are like the what and i said it's a

01:02:46 poem about his dog if you've never heard it listen to him this is jimmy stewart a poem he wrote about

01:02:51 his dog and he read on Carson. The title of it is Bo. That's the name of the dog.

01:02:59 He never came to me when I would call unless I had a tennis ball or he felt like it.

01:03:07 But mostly he didn't come at all. When he was young, he never learned to heal or sit or stay.

01:03:16 he did things his way. Discipline was not his bag, but when you were with him,

01:03:23 things sure didn't drag. He'd dig up a rosebush just to spite me, and when I'd grab him,

01:03:30 he'd turn and bite me. He bit lots of folks from day to day. The delivery boy was his favorite

01:03:38 prey. The gas man wouldn't read our meter. He said we owned a real man eater. He set the house

01:03:48 on fire, but the stories long to tell. Suffice to say that he survived and the house survived as

01:03:56 well. And on evening walks, and Gloria took him, he was always first out the door. The old one and

01:04:05 I brought up the rear because our bones were sore and he'd charge up the street with mom hanging on

01:04:13 what a beautiful pair they were and if it was still late and the tourists were out

01:04:19 they created a bit of a stir but every once in a while he'd stop in his tracks and with a frown

01:04:27 on his face look around it was just to make sure that the old one was there to follow him where he

01:04:35 was bound we're early to betters in our house I guess I'm the first to retire and as I'd leave

01:04:42 the room he'd look at me and get up from his place by the fire he knew where the tennis balls were

01:04:50 upstairs and I'd give him one for a while and he'd push it under the bed with his nose and I'd dig it

01:04:56 out with a smile but before very long he'd tire the ball and he'd be asleep in his corner in no

01:05:04 time at all and there were nights when I'd feel him climb upon our bed and lie between us and I'd

01:05:13 pat his head and there were nights when I'd feel this stare and I'd wake up and he'd be sitting

01:05:22 there and I'd reach out to stroke his hair and sometimes I'd feel him sigh and I think I know

01:05:33 the reason why. He'd wake up at night and he would have this fear of the dark, of life, of lots of

01:05:42 things. And he'd be glad to have me near. And now he's dead. And there are nights when I think I

01:05:55 feel him climb upon our bed and lie between us and I pat his head and there are nights

01:06:06 when I when I think I feel that stare and I reach out my hand to stroke his hair

01:06:16 and he's not there oh how I wish that wasn't so

01:06:21 i'll always love a dog named bo

01:06:26 jimmy stewart i have his daughter on um in about an hour from now you don't want to miss it i can't

01:06:37 wait to talk to her let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour it's mercury one you know

01:06:42 when i started mercury one 15 years ago i knew there were things i wanted to accomplish that

01:06:46 were far beyond what we could do you know beyond a microphone wanted to help people in crisis wanted

01:06:50 to preserve history and principles that made this country possible and wanted to create something

01:06:54 that could continue doing the work long after I'm gone, because that's the question every organization

01:06:59 should eventually have to answer. Are you building something that can outlast you? Today, Mercury One

01:07:05 is involved in disaster relief, helping persecuted Christians, preserving American history through

01:07:09 the American Journey experience, and none of that happens without the people who believe these

01:07:13 missions matter enough to support them. That's why we've created the Mercury One Loyalty Society.

01:07:18 For $15 a month, you can be part of this community that provides consistent support and keeps this work moving forward.

01:07:25 Would you please join us at mercuryone.org?

01:07:28 Mercuryone.org.

01:07:30 I'm going to be up in Washington, D.C. doing some work for Mercury One.

01:07:33 I'm actually having a meeting with the possibly president of Nigeria on Monday.

01:07:41 You heard Glenn and his daughter yesterday.

01:07:43 Now get the entire album, It's Christmas Again, available now on iTunes and wherever you get your music.

01:07:48 The air is starting to cool, and the music's getting warmer.

01:08:13 As the lights go up and the house fills with familiar voices, turn up the volume.

01:08:29 Cheyenne Grace. It's Christmas again. Now streaming everywhere.

01:08:35 That is, I can't tell you, it's a dad's dream come true.

01:08:39 You know, my daughter and I worked on that album for probably 18 months.

01:08:45 We wrote everything together and the lyrics and everything else.

01:08:49 And then we recorded it together.

01:08:51 And it's just, it's a dad's dream come true.

01:08:55 And I hope that you enjoy it as much as we did putting it together.

01:08:58 We tried to make all of the songs sound like stuff that you grew up listening to.

01:09:03 You know, it's all kind of in the style of the 1940s and 1950s.

01:09:07 And, you know, Michael Buble, Frank Sinatra, all of that.

01:09:10 Um, and it's all original.

01:09:12 Uh, so check it out.

01:09:13 It's Christmas again by Cheyenne Grace.

01:09:16 It's available wherever you get your, uh, your music.

01:09:19 Okay.

01:09:20 Let me tell you about, uh, let me tell you what's, what's coming.

01:09:25 Well, I'm looking at my clock, seeing how much time I have.

01:09:30 I need to talk to you again, write this down.

01:09:32 I have to talk to you today about being prepared for cyber trouble.

01:09:41 You know, Outlook looks like it's back up, but there's rumors going around that other things are coming down.

01:09:46 We don't know yet, so I'm not even going to share those with you.

01:09:48 But I'm telling you, in hour one today, I gave you a list of things to do.

01:09:52 Please prepare.

01:09:54 If we're not under attack, it's only a matter of time before we are.

01:09:58 And you will lose.

01:10:00 Get a map.

01:10:01 make sure your car has a map an atlas in it now teach your kids how to read it and follow some

01:10:10 of the other things i said in last hour but please pay attention because we may not be under attack

01:10:16 but if these things are true the rumors that are circulating now are then we very well may be right

01:10:22 now but it is coming there's going to be a problem with cyber hacking it's it is coming now let me 0.91

01:10:28 take you to washington here for a second week before the 2024 election uh kamala harris stood

01:10:33 on the ellipse and told america that donald trump was going to walk into the oval office with an

01:10:37 enemies list and she would walk in with a to-do list two years later her party ran on a to-do

01:10:44 list affordability groceries rent the price of eggs and they won on that not one of them has

01:10:50 been sworn in yet not one gavel has changed hands and the to-do list is already in the trash

01:10:56 So now what's on the table now is the other list.

01:11:00 AOC was asked who the majority goes after first, who the majority goes after first.

01:11:05 She said there are so many criminals in this administration, it's hard to figure out the order of operations.

01:11:11 I'm quoting many, many, many investigations, many subpoenas will follow the evidence wherever it leads.

01:11:17 Now, think about the order of the sentence.

01:11:19 The verdict comes first.

01:11:20 The criminals, criminals with an S, plural, the whole administration.

01:11:24 And then somehow down the road, we're going to go find the evidence.

01:11:29 For eight years, these same people told us that Lock Her Up was the most dangerous chant ever in American politics, right?

01:11:38 I think we need to re-examine Sololinsky.

01:11:42 I think it was rule number four, rules for radicals.

01:11:45 Hold them to their own standards.

01:11:48 And I'll explain it later if I have time.

01:11:52 But we have to get into it next week.

01:11:53 write that down next week i've got to get into rules for radicals because now it's time to turn

01:11:58 this around on them hold them to their own words a leader who brands his opponents criminals before

01:12:05 a court has spoken is a strong man i didn't learn that from book i learned that from them

01:12:11 right this is how republics die that's their words then they were right but they didn't stop

01:12:18 the chant, lock her up. They just changed her to him. She's also hinted at impeaching Supreme Court

01:12:25 justices. Let me remind them of their own standard. When the president called for impeaching a federal 1.00

01:12:31 judge who ruled against him, the chief justice put out a rare statement saying impeachment is not how

01:12:37 you answer a ruling that you don't like. And Democrats all applauded. That's the standard.

01:12:42 They called it a defense of an independent judiciary against a man who couldn't take no

01:12:46 for an answer now they want to do the same thing to the highest court in the land so what's changed

01:12:53 it wasn't the principle it was the rulings that they dislike then there's indivisible the organizers

01:13:01 of the no kings rallies they're demanding that democrats democrats make what they call and i'm 0.58

01:13:07 quoting the crappy little heritage staffers face consequences end quote so the next generation

01:13:15 and I'm quoting again, understands it cannot be complicit. Do you remember Project 2025? I just

01:13:23 want to use their own words. What was their standard? We were told Project 2025 was a plot

01:13:29 to punish government employees who they served, to purge the disloyal, to turn every desk in

01:13:37 Washington into a loyalty test. We were told that it would make good people afraid to serve.

01:13:43 that was their standard now the people who marched under signs that said no kings want to go after

01:13:50 26 year olds with student loans who took a job in the administration that they didn't like

01:13:57 not for a crime but for who they worked for and the stated goal in their words is to make sure

01:14:04 no young person ever signs up with the other side again we need to start holding them to their own

01:14:11 words. Because I don't have to argue. What am I arguing? I'm just showing you their words then

01:14:17 and what they're saying now. This is not accountability. This is a loyalty test with

01:14:22 a subpoena stapled to it. And punishing the servants for serving the wrong master is exactly

01:14:28 what kings do. And I was against it with Donald Trump. If he ever crossed that line, I was with

01:14:34 the Supreme Court. When the White House warned Congress that investigations built to punish are

01:14:40 unconstitutional i agree but the new york times rushed to explain that threats to prosecute

01:14:47 executive branch staffs aren't really threats the real scandal according to the times is the

01:14:53 president now objecting this is the same paper that spent years telling us a president who

01:15:00 threatens to prosecute his opponents is how democracy ends it was the end of democracy

01:15:07 when he said it, it's oversight when they say it. The top Democrat now on Senate finance is

01:15:13 investigating whether Robert F. Kennedy Jr. lied to Congress on his confirmation hearing.

01:15:19 Okay, this is easy. If he lied, find it. Lying to Congress is a crime. But it was also a crime in

01:15:25 2013 when the director of the National Intelligence was asked under oath whether the NSA was collecting

01:15:31 data on millions of Americans, including those members in Congress, and he said no.

01:15:35 then we learned it was collecting that data and he was never charged so what has changed

01:15:41 democrats never opened an investigation they shrugged how about all the russiagate lies

01:15:47 under oath or sheesh the lies on covid from fauci that man destroyed the world as we once

01:15:55 knew it he killed millions of people our affordability crisis came from him refusing

01:16:03 to abide by the law on gain of function research and then he lied over and over and over to

01:16:08 congress the american people and the people of the world you never investigated it was crickets

01:16:13 a standard that only wakes up for the other team is not a standard it's a weapon

01:16:21 you know the spying power this is a story that nobody's covering this june this last june

01:16:31 Jim Himes, he's the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee.

01:16:35 He joined the Democrats who blocked the renewal of Section 702, the government's warrantless surveillance tool, because he didn't trust Donald Trump and Donald Trump's new spy chief with it.

01:16:48 This week, he's pressing the Senate Republicans to renew it and quickly.

01:16:54 Why?

01:16:55 He wants it done by the Republicans before his party takes the majority.

01:16:59 Same president, same spy chief, same power to read Americans' messages without a warrant.

01:17:06 In June, it was too dangerous.

01:17:09 In November, it's urgent.

01:17:11 What has changed?

01:17:14 The only thing that has changed is whose name will be on the vote.

01:17:18 He wants the tool.

01:17:20 He just wants the Republican fingerprints on it instead of his.

01:17:24 They said Trump would jail his enemies.

01:17:26 They're already arguing about the order of operations.

01:17:31 They said he would attack the courts.

01:17:33 They're talking about impeaching the Supreme Court and then packing the Supreme Court.

01:17:39 They said he would punish civil servants.

01:17:42 They're promising consequences for low-level staffers at the Heritage Foundation.

01:17:48 They said he would spy on Americans, but they're asking for the spying tool.

01:17:54 They said he had an enemies list.

01:17:55 They campaigned on a to-do list and they threw it away in a week and replaced it with an enemy's list.

01:18:02 And all of this is before the keys are even in their hands.

01:18:09 For years, every accusation they have made was a confession on layaway.

01:18:17 And that payment, that final payment comes due in January.

01:18:21 so here's what this all tells us about the next two years it was never about norms it was never

01:18:29 about democracy those words were the wrapping paper inside the box is power and a plan to make

01:18:38 it so expensive to stand on the other side that no one will legal bills subpoenas arriving at the

01:18:45 kitchen table parents telling their kids public service isn't worth what it costs you don't have

01:18:51 to win an argument ever again if nobody is left willing to make the argument on the other side

01:18:56 and the greatest danger honestly isn't what they do in 2027 it's what we will be all tempted to do

01:19:04 in 2029 because if they get full power in 2028 what it happens then and if we do if they come

01:19:13 out with their enemies list and they're persecuting. You don't think we're going to try to do that back

01:19:18 because this is the trap. The day we do it back, everything, everything I just told you stops being

01:19:24 hypocrisy and just starts being the rule. And a country where every election ends in a round of

01:19:29 persecutions and prosecutions is not a republic anymore. It's a cycle of revenge with ballots.

01:19:35 next week i want to talk to you about this because we cannot answer in kind and that is not surrender

01:19:44 when jesus sent his followers out he told them you were sheep among wolves was he saying no so

01:19:52 you're going to be eaten so just sit there and bah and be eaten by the wolves no he said bees

01:19:58 as wise as serpents and harmless as doves that isn't the advice of a pacifist it's a field

01:20:07 manual be wise know the law better than they do when they say no one is above the law agree

01:20:15 out loud and then ask why the law only ever seems to address our side and not their side but use

01:20:22 their words keep the receipts i've saved all the receipts i've saved everything that they have said

01:20:27 over the last few years

01:20:28 about how this is the end of democracy

01:20:31 and how this is fascism.

01:20:32 And I intend on holding them

01:20:34 to their own standard,

01:20:35 just like their wise, wise teacher,

01:20:40 Saul Alinsky taught them.

01:20:42 Because now you're in power

01:20:44 and it's our turn.

01:20:46 Now we can use the same thing

01:20:48 Saul Alinsky did,

01:20:49 everything except the evil parts.

01:20:53 And we'll use those

01:20:54 to hold you accountable

01:20:55 because Saul's whole point on this was you don't have to argue.

01:21:01 You don't lose when you're just using their words

01:21:04 because I don't have to argue anything.

01:21:06 I just say, well, but wait a minute.

01:21:07 You said this.

01:21:08 Now you're doing this.

01:21:10 Tell me how that works.

01:21:12 And they'll try to change the subject.

01:21:14 Saul Alinsky had the answer to what they're doing right now.

01:21:21 We have to fund the legal defense of those young staffers

01:21:24 because no 26 year old should ever face a congressional subpoena alone demand that every

01:21:29 hearing be held in public demand warrants for everybody not just for our guys for everybody

01:21:35 and be harmless do not put a list together of our own no no wait until we're back in

01:21:43 hold them to their own words and hold ourselves to the very same ones because when they said

01:21:49 that's what happens and democracy dies, we didn't disagree.

01:21:53 We disagreed that our side would do that.

01:21:58 So we agreed with the principle.

01:22:02 But if they start doing these things, well, now it's a different story.

01:22:08 Every accusation you make is a promise about you.

01:22:13 So keep it.

01:22:14 They made their promises before they've even taken their seats.

01:22:17 they're breaking them in public we must keep ours and that's how this ends not with our list

01:22:24 this ends with their own words back in a minute

01:22:29 there is something about helping another human being that i've always found fascinating you

01:22:36 almost never get to see the rest of the story yourself you help somebody through a difficult

01:22:39 time then life goes on you don't know where they'll be five years from now you don't know

01:22:43 what their children will accomplish or what kind of life they will build. You may never even see

01:22:48 them again. But there's an entire future that is still waiting to unfold, and your act of kindness

01:22:52 may have helped make that possible. That's something I want you to consider when I talk

01:22:57 about the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. They provide food and essential assistance

01:23:01 to vulnerable Jewish people. They support critical safety needs in Israel and all around the world.

01:23:07 And the Jewish people facing anti-Semitism find a safer future. And when you support that work,

01:23:12 you're helping give somebody the opportunity to keep writing their own story for generations to

01:23:17 come. You're not going to know how your story ends or their story ends, but you can now make

01:23:22 sure the story doesn't end before it's time. Let's show our Jewish brothers and sisters our

01:31:14 amazing that movie and no you get to talk to her you could yeah you got to see it you got to see

01:31:19 it so what was it like hanging out with larry david for six years it was a dream come true

01:31:26 and speaking of a dream come true before we really get into it i have to thank you

01:31:30 My career would have been over.

01:31:31 There would be no Larry David book if not for you.

01:31:34 I still can't believe that Glenn Beck,

01:31:35 a man who has very different political ideologies than myself,

01:31:39 saved my career, but I'm so forever grateful to you

01:31:41 for giving me a platform on the history of the future

01:31:44 and the Palmer Lucky story when no one else cared.

01:31:46 Thank you.

01:31:47 And so that resurrected my career.

01:31:49 Thank you.

01:31:50 And I have to tell you, I'm glad we're friends.

01:31:53 I'm glad we're friends.

01:31:54 I like having friends who don't agree with me on everything,

01:31:56 and I'm glad we're friends.

01:31:57 So now let's get to Larry David.

01:31:58 I agree that you look good.

01:31:59 You look good in those glasses.

01:32:00 You look good.

01:32:01 It's been six years.

01:32:02 Larry David, most fascinating man in the world.

01:32:05 At least he's in competition with Palmer.

01:32:06 Lucky.

01:32:07 I can't believe that I got access to speak with him.

01:32:09 It was quite a process.

01:32:11 But the obvious question is how different is he than the character in the show?

01:32:15 And Larry's response to that would be that he's completely different.

01:32:18 He sees the character of the show as this other guy, this hero.

01:32:21 But if you ask me or if you ask his wife or anyone close to him, there's a lot of overlap.

01:32:26 And I'll give you an example of the difference and the similarity.

01:32:29 So for six years, I spoke with Larry. And then I sent him the manuscript and he called me in May. And he finished reading the final chapters. And I said, like, you know, and he was very happy. And I said, Larry, it's been six years, any big macro thoughts like this is what it all led to. And I thought maybe he'd have some macro thoughts about, you know, looking back at his career, he's very unprofessional at times, which we can get into. You know, he was very unlikely to succeed. But instead, his macro thought was, yeah, if I could do it over again, I wouldn't do it.

01:32:58 he was talking about the book. And I was like, Oh man, that's kind of hurtful to me. Like this is

01:33:03 my life's work. I just spent six years and the character of the show would stand by that. But

01:33:08 the real life Larry noticed that he hurt my feelings and didn't mean to hurt my feelings

01:33:11 about that. He said, no, no, Blake, not because of you. You did a great job. You did a great job.

01:33:16 He said it twice. He said, I just, I'm a very private person. I don't want people knowing

01:33:19 about me. And so I felt like that small distinction really shows you the difference because

01:33:23 the character of the show, like the real life Larry regrets everything, but the real life

01:33:27 larry's noticed that he hurt my feelings in a way that he didn't intend to because he wasn't

01:33:31 the book he had a problem but just he doesn't want people knowing about him um is it true you

01:33:36 started out in the your first phone call it was like you had a strict parameter you could only

01:33:41 talk about the yankees is that true that's 100 true and that was my one of the best ideas i've

01:33:47 ever had in my life and i haven't had many when i finally got to larry it was like when the dog

01:33:51 catches the car like oh now what and i wanted to show him that i'm not a typical journalist that

01:33:56 i could be you know a fun person to speak with um and i said to larry by email um after so my

01:34:03 initial email correspondence to start with larry said there's far better subjects to write about

01:34:06 i only have my wife ashley and my two daughters kazzy and romey so that's only three book sales

01:34:10 no one else cares about me no one's gonna buy this book there shouldn't be a book and i said

01:34:14 larry let me try to convince you otherwise let's get on the phone um and he said oh jesus if we

01:34:20 must and the parameters for the call that i set up were for this first call of what i hope will

01:34:23 many i don't want to talk about seinfeld i don't want to talk about curb the only thing i want to

01:34:27 talk about is the new york yankees because i knew he liked the yankees and i love the yankees

01:34:30 and so we talked about the yankees and you know he had very strong opinions on steroid users not

01:34:35 being in the hall of fame he's a very principled guy which i don't think would surprise people

01:34:38 given you know he has such strong opinions about social interactions and what the rules should be

01:34:43 yeah so so how did you go to the how did you how did you go from the yankees to

01:34:50 when when did you convince him at what point that i'm the guy to write a biography about you great

01:34:56 question so i think the there was a moment that i remember that i call the greatest moment of my

01:35:01 life which my wife finds strange because it was me getting a mild compliment from an old man

01:35:05 but it was the old man was larry and i said to larry is it true that you were completely

01:35:10 horrified about this book at first and he said yes i was so horrified and i said well larry it's

01:35:14 it's midnight new york time and it's 9 p.m la time you're on the phone with me why are you talking

01:35:18 to me. No one's putting a gun to your head. And he said, I kind of like you. And I think the reason

01:35:23 he kind of liked me is, you know, I try to be fair, as you know, I also try to bring something

01:35:28 to the party. And I think he really liked my theory on why the Seinfeld finale was so hated

01:35:32 at the time. Granted, I don't think it's the greatest episode, but I told him that essentially

01:35:37 he made, you know, a 60 minute clip show with the Seinfeld finale. And what he didn't realize

01:35:42 because he wasn't in the office was that what aired before the Seinfeld finale in May 1998

01:35:46 was a 45-minute clip show that NBC put together.

01:35:49 So he kind of got ruined by this film show.

01:35:51 And so he really liked that theory

01:35:52 because I remember him saying,

01:35:53 oh my God, oh my God,

01:35:55 as if it was a breakthrough in therapy.

01:35:57 And he said, where were you 20 years ago?

01:35:59 And I was like, I was in high school.

01:36:00 You should have called me up.

01:36:03 How weird is it that you,

01:36:05 because I mean, Seinfeld played a huge role in your life

01:36:09 when you were growing up.

01:36:11 I mean, you're in high school.

01:36:12 Those are formative years.

01:36:14 I mean at any point or several points did you go I can't believe I'm talking to Larry David about

01:36:20 this Glenn I still I said that this morning I'm like I can't believe I wrote a book about Larry

01:36:24 I can't believe Larry talked it's true like here's how pathetic I was I wrote my college

01:36:29 admissions essay about May 14th 1998 the day that Seinfeld ended as if this was like this big

01:36:34 seminal terrible moment in my life very pathetic but yeah I love Seinfeld that's why I became a

01:36:39 writer. And I think the most, the best thing I could say about Larry and why people might want

01:36:45 to read the book is that he started off my hero before this, and he remains my hero. And that's

01:36:49 so rare that you could get to know somebody who works at all and still six years later,

01:36:53 think that you're a hero, that he's my hero. And a big part of it is not just because he's

01:36:58 such a funny guy or because he's an incredible storyteller. It's this uncompromising aspect of

01:37:03 his personality. I think there's a part of us that all hopes to some degree that when push

01:37:07 comes to shove. We're not going to take the money that we're going to fight for our creative vision.

01:37:11 But the book is basically just example after example of Larry sticking to his guns and being

01:37:16 willing to walk away from things, which now as a successful guy is understandable. But when he was

01:37:21 just an artist who could barely afford his rent in New York, and he was willing to walk away from

01:37:27 Saturday Night Live, or he was willing to quit a TV show, like that's really, that really, it's a

01:37:32 very different type of person he is so um you know you watch seinfeld and seinfeld was the first time

01:37:40 being mean uh became cool uh and it was everyone in i mean there's not really a likable kramer

01:37:50 there's not really a likable person in the cast you know um and that was that was brand new when

01:37:57 that when that first happened what is the secret there because it's because i you feel like

01:38:02 at least with larry and seinfeld and kramer um you feel like there's redeeming qualities

01:38:10 there you know that they're actually probably really nice people um but in the show there's

01:38:16 there's there's not did you talk about that at all that this was a game-changing kind of

01:38:23 yeah what did he say i think it really goes back to his favorite show as a kid

01:38:29 was sergeant bilko which was really the phil silver show but that was a character who liked

01:38:35 the characters on seinfeld was incredibly selfish he was like quote unquote unlikable but you really

01:38:39 liked him because he was funny and because he was loyal to certain people like these people are

01:38:43 loyal friends um so i it's not even i don't know that meanness is what i would say seinfeld brought

01:38:48 but it was selfishness because there's a selfishness at all yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah that's

01:38:52 it that's it it wasn't like mean for the sake of mean but you're totally right like that kind of

01:38:56 the kinds of storylines that Larry and Jerry were doing were the storylines

01:38:59 that network execs historically. And even to this day would say, Oh no,

01:39:02 people aren't, that's going to make him unlikable.

01:39:03 He needs to save the cat. And then for him,

01:39:05 for Larry to come back and do that again with curb where it's not just a 0.98

01:39:08 selfish guy, but it's a selfish, almost billionaire, wealthy white guy. 0.86

01:39:13 Like, you know, everyone's like, Oh, no, one's going to like this, 0.91

01:39:15 but Larry made it work. Cause all that matters to him is funny.

01:39:18 Funny is really the name of the game.

01:39:20 So after all of the time, you know, I mean, you're writing it during COVID,

01:39:25 monthly check-ins everything then you finish the book you give it to larry and then does he have

01:39:33 edit rights does he have the right to go edit right not that story i mean and that's the hardest

01:39:38 that's like i basically wrote 500 pages of how uncompromising larry was and how all he cares

01:39:44 about is his creative vision so i figured i was really in for it when i sent him the manuscript

01:39:48 and him having to deal with the fact that he doesn't have creative control now with both with

01:39:52 my other books, I always valued feedback from the people as it was a work in progress. I would

01:39:57 change things. They didn't have editorial control, but I always want to hear from the subject.

01:40:01 So I valued Larry's input. And then this is another like kind of typical Larry thing.

01:40:06 He didn't mind looking stupid. He didn't mind looking dumb or, you know, self like his self 1.00

01:40:12 sabotaged tactics. Thing that really bothered him was when he came across as too nice. And I'm like, 0.98

01:40:18 Larry, you're a pretty nice guy, though. Like, for example, there was a quote from Mary Steenburgen

01:40:21 who's Ted Danson's real-life wife

01:40:23 and plays his wife on the show Curb Your Enthusiasm.

01:40:26 And she said that Larry's a sweetheart,

01:40:28 that people wouldn't think this about Larry David

01:40:31 because he plays such a selfish character in the show.

01:40:32 But in case of an emergency,

01:40:34 she's actually someone that would be on her

01:40:35 in case of emergency list.

01:40:37 And Larry crossed it out and wrote,

01:40:38 too nice, embarrassing.

01:40:39 And I did sort of give him,

01:40:41 I trimmed that quote down a bit.

01:40:43 But for the most part,

01:40:45 I was shocked by how-

01:40:46 Why do you think he did that?

01:40:50 Why did that bother him?

01:40:51 that's an excellent question okay so the like the surface level first answer would be he has

01:40:58 this brand or this persona that he's persnickety and prickly and he doesn't want that but i think

01:41:03 it's more so that he thinks i i think he thinks everyone should be that way and that that's not

01:41:09 special because i remember the way the other note was like i was talking about his daughters and

01:41:13 someone said and and it was a quote from him saying i love my daughter so much and other

01:41:18 people talking about how his daughters mean the world to him and then i as the author wrote

01:41:21 something like, you know, Larry would do anything for his daughters. And he's like, this is so

01:41:24 stupid. He said, every father would do everything for their daughters. I'm not special. And I was 1.00

01:41:28 like, first of all, Larry, you are kind of special because not every father would do that. Like

01:41:32 being a good father is not, is, is a, is an important thing. And then the other thing too,

01:41:37 was because of the conceit of the book, he's a funny guy. I was using that to show how Larry

01:41:42 really would do anything. And the example that he would do was that he did a cameo on Hannah.

01:41:47 He did a cameo on Hannah Montana, which is like the least Larry show that would exist because

01:41:51 his daughters liked it right but i think it's i think it's that it's like larry so much of larry's

01:41:56 shows and seinfeld and curb are about the way that we should treat each other you know and that and

01:42:01 that is in funny ways like oh you shouldn't you know wish someone a happy new year after a certain

01:42:04 date in january but i think he also believes that there should be a certain amount of human decency

01:42:09 and niceness that exists between all of us and to celebrate someone actually having that that

01:42:13 minimum amount shouldn't be celebrated because we should all just have that in general what do you

01:42:18 think about his his deadpan piece that just uh came out about the dsa with you know proposals

01:42:25 like unlock doors for strangers and closing jails and everything else yeah so he usually is not that

01:42:31 guy yeah larry is also a lifelong democrat and hasn't typically gone after the left so i think

01:42:40 two things um i think it shows you a little bit of how crazy some people on the left are and again

01:42:45 And I say that as someone on the left, that even Larry David is going after you.

01:42:49 And the other is that I asked Larry about that essay.

01:42:53 It was this piece for Airmail about the DSA.

01:42:57 And he showed me the inspiration for the piece, which was like a recruitment ad that he saw for the DSA.

01:43:05 And I think Larry's the funniest guy in the world.

01:43:07 But I thought he was a little less funny after reading the recruitment ad.

01:43:10 Because the actual real-life recruitment ad was almost as crazy as Larry's stat tire.

01:43:15 So I was like, Larry, this is actually not that extreme what you wrote.

01:43:20 But you know politically how I feel.

01:43:24 I feel like these things should be wake-up calls.

01:43:25 I don't think that a lot of people on the left, the response to that was, oh, let's attack Larry.

01:43:30 He's going after us.

01:43:32 Well, how about – I would see this.

01:43:34 If Larry David's going after the left a little bit or poking fun, maybe that's a sign that we shouldn't go so far.

01:43:40 Maybe not too far.

01:43:41 Maybe.

01:43:42 yeah and at the end of the day like i said earlier all that matters to larry is funny so it was he

01:43:46 didn't sit down and think how am i going to skewer the left today he just he thought something funny

01:43:50 and he doesn't care who the target is yeah so yeah blake thank you for being on with me thank

01:43:57 you uh i uh i'm a big fan say hello to larry he probably will hate this but i'm a big fan of

01:44:04 larry david i think he's very funny and he's he has contributed to uh entertainment and television

01:44:10 like very few people have uh and uh big fans so thank you thanks so much have a great day

01:44:16 you bet uh blake harris emperor of nothing if you're a larry david fan emperor of nothing it

01:44:51 before you can do anything useful rapid radios went the opposite direction they took modern

01:44:55 cellular technology and made it simple one button push talk rapid radios uses lte cellular networks

01:45:51 Yeah, you know, it's funny.

01:45:57 People don't like Larry David politically, and I don't either.

01:46:03 I don't like, you know, I don't like preachy stuff, but Larry Davis has never seen preachy

01:46:08 to me.

01:46:08 His, his America special is two 50 special.

01:46:11 I really did not enjoy.

01:46:13 I really did not like, um, but I didn't watch it.

01:46:16 You know, I know who it's aimed at and it's not me, but, um, uh, you know, there's some

01:46:23 people who are just really, really, really funny.

01:46:26 And he's one of them.

01:46:28 Seinfeld is really, really funny.

01:46:30 I really like the Seinfeld approach of, I'm not getting involved.

01:46:33 And I think that's just so old school, you know, but I think that's the right approach

01:46:37 for people who are entertainers.

01:46:39 Don't get involved.

01:46:40 Just, just zip, be quiet.

01:46:44 Um, why cut your audience in half?

01:46:47 I mean, if I could do this all over again and, uh, you know, I wasn't interested, if

01:46:50 I wasn't who I was, you know what I mean?

01:46:52 I wasn't interested in things I'm interested in.

01:46:54 If I was just an entertainer, why would you cut your audience in half?

01:46:57 Why would you do that? 1.00

01:46:59 It's the dumbest thing you could ever do. 0.99

01:47:02 You know, if you could reach everybody and you were just making them happy or laugh or whatever, what, what, how could you not like that job? 0.99

01:47:10 How could you not like that job?

01:47:13 Hopefully we'll get back to some of those things.

01:47:15 Okay, Ricky, what have we missed?

01:47:19 Jason, have we missed anything here?

01:47:20 We're going into the last half hour and Jimmy Stewart's daughter is on with me next.

01:47:25 Well, I've been dying to ask you what you think about President Trump taking J.D. Vance off the Iran file and just helping him focus domestically.

01:47:32 If I recall, you said that was going to actually help save him.

01:47:39 So, yeah, I think President Trump compartmentalized Rubio and J.D. Vance.

01:47:47 and uh jd has never been for the war never been and that it will work to his advantage if you are

01:47:53 playing just strategic games uh and i think the president taking him off and now jd

01:47:59 he has the greatest opportunity of any politician i've ever seen the president is saying you run a

01:48:06 task force and you go find crime you go find corruption and root it out i have not seen a lot

01:48:14 here from i mean he his face should be on the tv every day fighting crime and fighting corruption

01:48:21 because that's what's going to make the difference is somebody actually fighting corruption um and

01:48:27 so far i haven't seen him meet that standard but this is good now the president said just

01:48:31 concentrate on this so that's good for jd vance in the long run um i don't know what it says about

01:48:37 iran but i am concerned because the things with iran on their side are going to get worse

01:48:43 um just look at all of the hacking that is going on right now not to say that's microsoft but it's

01:48:49 coming uh personal defense is about making decisions under circumstances nobody wants

01:48:55 to experience somebody threatening you you know you don't know what they're going to do next you

01:48:59 may have only seconds to decide how to respond you should have some options when it comes to

01:49:02 protecting yourself and your family berna makes a leth lethal uh personal defense launcher the

01:49:19 the road hoping the guy was just going to pass him he didn't he stops his car and then he gets

01:49:23 out and he starts walking towards him he didn't have a gun he had i'm sorry he had a gun in his

01:49:27 glove box and he's like i'm not pulling a gun out because i don't want to escalate that guy was

01:49:32 beaten to a pulp he's the guy who designed the burner launcher he's like i want something in

01:50:11 opening this weekend in movie theaters is a movie i saw i saw a screener of it uh on i think

01:50:36 Tuesday or Wednesday with my mother-in-law and my wife and we absolutely loved it and I'm taking my

01:50:43 kids to it when we get up to Thanksgiving and they're in town because we watch It's a Wonderful

01:50:47 Life all the time and you will never watch that movie the same ever again I mean we all know that

01:50:53 movie by heart but this will change the way you watch the movie it is called Jimmy it is a story

01:51:00 of uh jimmy stewart in his war years you have never seen jimmy stewart like this you will

01:51:07 this movie will connect with you so deeply especially if you saw the movie uh on amazon

01:51:13 what was the what was that movie jason with the the air war over europe uh and it had the guy who

01:51:21 played elvis yeah what was it gosh what was his name i can't remember masters of the air or

01:51:25 something like that masters of the air if you saw that and you realized oh my gosh that's what that

01:51:31 was like jimmy stewart was flying he was commanding a squadron of those guys from masters of the air

01:51:40 uh and it changed him deeply i am thrilled to say that we have his daughter on uh with us her name

01:51:48 is uh kelly stewart harcourt kelly welcome to the program how are you uh i'm i'm good thank you i'm

01:51:56 glad you liked the film oh loved it loved it um you didn't you weren't if i have this right i've

01:52:05 read that you and your sister were like nah i don't know if we want to do this because my dad's

01:52:09 kind of boring well yes yeah i thought it would be hard to make a a typical hollywood

01:52:18 biopic of dad because he was well behaved um but i i never thought um of the idea of making

01:52:31 um making a film about his wartime experience largely because dad always wanted to keep his

01:52:40 military life and his hollywood life separate yeah and so what were we doing here we were doing

01:52:48 exactly what dad didn't want which is combining the two in the movie but then um but then i read

01:52:57 this this the treatment and um i thought well now here's a story that that nobody knows that

01:53:10 we didn't know until my sister found a diary that my father kept during the war

01:53:15 in a drawer next to his bed and he kept it there and i asked myself why did he keep it there

01:53:24 why was it right by his bed and i think he wanted that story to be told and what he wrote in that

01:53:30 diary is what this film is i have to tell you if masters of war hadn't come out a few years before

01:53:38 because nobody knows what that air war was like nobody knows no but nobody knew until that movie

01:53:42 came out and now that we know how brutal i mean it was horrific now that you're watching you know

01:53:52 this movie jimmy um and you see that he was the guy giving the briefings he was the commander he

01:53:59 was up on uh what it was it 16 or 18 of these flights you know you didn't make it to 15 um and

01:54:07 uh and what he went through you can understand the ptsd that he he had did did you did it ever

01:54:20 did he get that under control did that ever did you ever see that in your life or was that all

01:54:25 from the diary we never saw that because dad never talked about his his experiences during the war

01:54:33 i think he right he just is just something he just kept it yeah um but my mother said that

01:54:43 every so often he would have a nightmare and he would sit up in bed and he would be

01:54:49 uh controlling he would be flying the plane and he would be looking down at you know planes

01:54:57 attacking from the right planes and he would yell like that and that it came out like that

01:55:05 his so you you grew up watching um it's a wonderful life it it must have been before

01:55:14 um before ted turner found it and made it into the american uh christmas icon that it that it

01:55:23 is now when it came out it was not a big hit and the movie kind of references that yeah i know it

01:55:30 was not a big hit but it really um it became a christmas tradition when it um when it came on

01:55:39 tv came out on tv and that was that gave it a whole new life life had you watched it before

01:55:47 it became a hit again did your dad because this was your one of your dad's favorite movies wasn't

01:55:53 if not the favorite movie he made yeah he he did he did finally say yes if you had to pin him down

01:56:00 that was his favorite movie um and we i remember watching it as a kid on tv and i i thought

01:56:10 well this is just kind of a corny film you know i wasn't that impressed as a kid and then i i went

01:56:20 away and graduated from high school and did my stuff and then i watched it again as an adult

01:56:27 and i thought whoa this i mean it's so deep it is so deep it is so good um and it seems to be who

01:56:36 your father really was he was he at least from the outside he seems like he was george bailey

01:56:41 in many ways. Would you agree with that?

01:56:44 I know. I agree.

01:56:46 It's

01:56:48 the two

01:56:50 of the meat in its wonderful

01:56:52 life.

01:56:54 So

01:56:54 the end of the movie, they take

01:56:57 and I'm not going to wreck it for anybody.

01:57:00 Believe me, it's so worth watching

01:57:01 because you will understand these.

01:57:03 You'll never watch that movie again the same way.

01:57:06 How much of that is artistic

01:57:07 license? What'd you say?

01:57:10 i totally agree and i i think that um you should watch jimmy first and then watch it's wonderful

01:57:17 absolutely absolutely agree 100 percent um how much of that ending is artistic license and how

01:57:25 much of that do you think it explains his performance you mean the uh which which part

01:57:34 you mean the ending of meeting mom so when there's yeah when he's doing the monologues

01:57:39 when he's doing those scenes in that that explains i mean it was brilliant the way they

01:57:44 used the sounds and the the voices of the past during those monologues where you could you could

01:57:52 see it i mean it was it was amazing how much of that is artistic license

01:57:58 you know i think i think a lot of it was was pretty true that's why i think it's a good film

01:58:07 And I think death to prove is because it's true.

01:58:16 What was he like as a dad?

01:58:20 He was quiet, and he was a great dad.

01:58:24 He was very funny.

01:58:26 He'd just come out with these one-liners that were wonderful.

01:58:29 He and Mom shared a sense of humor, and he never lectured us.

01:58:35 He never said, this is how you should behave.

01:58:38 It was more by example.

01:58:42 You know, in the movie, it shows your mom and dad meeting quickly,

01:58:47 and then all of a sudden they're married, and I know it didn't happen that way.

01:58:51 Did they meet that way on the beach?

01:58:54 No, they didn't.

01:58:55 They were introduced to each other.

01:58:58 It was a blind date, and I think it was Gary Cooper introduced them,

01:59:05 Gary Cooper's wife introduced them. And so it was, it was a blind date, but, um, they fell for each

01:59:13 other pretty fast. I mean, they, they met and they got married, you know, maybe a year and a half

01:59:19 later, something like that. Two years later. Yeah. It's, uh, it's amazing. He is always

01:59:25 reminded me, I don't know if you remember Paul Harvey, but Paul Harvey and his wife just had

01:59:29 this epic love affair, uh, and they just, they were just such a good team.

01:59:34 And, uh, I've always felt, I've always hoped that that's the way, uh,

01:59:38 Jimmy and Gloria were. They were just, you know, just, yeah. Yeah. Um,

01:59:44 I played earlier today, um, and I'm anxious to see the millennials and,

01:59:48 or, you know, the, uh, Jen's ears or X Xers, Zers, Y and Z. 0.97

01:59:55 I can never get them straight. I know.

01:59:58 i know but i can't wait to hear how they reacted i played uh his uh poem on carson about his dog

02:00:06 bo today which just makes oh i know so great so great yeah i mean everybody cries i know i know

02:00:19 um can you tell me the scene in it's a wonderful life uh with your dad and donna reed um where

02:00:27 they're kissing because your dad was nervous about that and the way it plays out in the movie

02:00:33 is just brilliant but can you give us more on that scene and is that you mean the scene where

02:00:40 he's um on the phone on the phone she's on they're listening together and he's like i don't care about

02:00:46 plastics and you know yeah i don't want to be married to anybody i don't want to be in love

02:00:50 yeah um that's one of the great scenes in the film i think yeah it is brilliant

02:00:58 listening together is just uh such a moment of a romantic moment

02:01:08 um the story about them kissing though with i mean he was nervous about it do you know

02:01:15 Do I have that right or no?

02:01:17 I haven't heard that story.

02:01:20 Oh, okay.

02:01:21 You've heard more stories than I have.

02:01:23 I bet you.

02:01:24 I can't imagine what it's like to be Jimmy Stewart's daughter.

02:01:30 Well, thank you so much.

02:01:32 I heard last week that there was a possibility of having you on the show,

02:01:36 and I don't think I've been this excited to talk to somebody in forever

02:01:41 just because your father it's a it's a it's a real pleasure it's it's thank you for asking me

02:01:51 you're welcome your father was uh an amazing american and uh a great icon and uh i've loved

02:02:00 him forever as long as i can remember thank you and i'm glad that i'm glad you liked the movie

02:02:28 It is absolutely movie out of time.

02:02:31 Could have been made by him.

02:02:32 And the kid that's playing young Jimmy Stewart sounds exactly like him.

02:02:37 um and uh uh you'll just love it you'll just love it and then there's another movie uh called uh

02:02:44 drummer boy and uh i told you about that last week i took my friend i saw it as a screener by myself

02:03:02 know the early americans that came here from great britain and which side are they on uh and it's

02:03:08 just so good and it's a great it's just a great film any time of the year but it's kind of like

02:05:03 Behind our nation's defense

02:05:05 is a powerful network of Canadian communities

02:05:07 supported by Lockheed Martin Canada.

02:05:10 It's a network of over

02:05:11 1,300 employees and over

02:05:13 1,000 local suppliers, from small

02:05:15 family businesses to major tech

02:05:17 firms. Together, we've delivered

02:05:19 a $3.6 billion boost

02:05:21 to the Canadian economy over the past five years.

02:05:24 That's money that goes to securing our skies,

02:05:26 our oceans, and the place we call home.

02:05:39 Hang tight. Glenn Beck returns next.

02:05:51 The first cold night, the first carol, the first time it all feels like Christmas.

02:06:12 Family around the table, laughter in the kitchen, and the soundtrack to all of it.

02:06:21 Cheyenne Grace, it's Christmas again.

02:06:26 Now streaming everywhere.

02:06:34 I think you're really going to love it.

02:06:36 For Christmas especially, if you're getting ready for the holidays this weekend,

02:06:39 you can download it now.

02:06:41 There is something exciting happening today.

02:06:43 You want to talk about the future of the world and the future of America

02:06:46 and why Elon Musk is so important.

02:06:48 The starship is about to go up.

02:06:51 today at about five o'clock this afternoon. They're waiting final approval on it. It has

02:06:55 not been delayed, but the really exciting part is that tomorrow it's coming back and it is the

02:07:04 upper stage. So it's the capsule part. Uh, and they're going to try to catch it tomorrow.

02:07:11 If those two things work, Elon Musk has changed everything. This is the last piece that we really

02:07:20 need to master uh to be able to go up into space and go to the moon and have a space economy which

02:07:28 will transform everything um and uh and this is the first real step this is this is what i think

02:07:37 this may end up being his most important uh thing to mankind is starship and being able to i mean

02:07:47 Because you'll be able to take a rocket, catch it, refuel it, put it back on the launch pad and launch it the next day.

02:07:56 This changes everything.

02:07:59 Elon Musk, may God protect him.

02:08:02 And we will see you on Monday and tell you all about it.

02:08:05 Have a safe weekend.
