I want to be serious and address these things as serious issues, just like American financing.
00:00:10.400
American financing, right now, you can get a consolidation loan.
00:00:17.380
You could probably, you know, get somebody on the phone that might gloat today.
00:00:32.180
Anyway, American financing, 800-906-2440, Americanfinancing.net, Americanfinancing.net.
00:00:41.340
Today is the big financial day at COP26, which sounds like a bad TV show, but over in Glasgow.
00:00:53.280
And the financial stuff is coming our way, and you need to be prepared.
00:00:58.040
So please, if you're doing anything financially, you want to save money or get a loan, consolidation, or financing, Americanfinancing.net, 800-906-2440.
00:01:09.200
What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:01:22.640
What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:01:49.480
I don't even want to start with that kind of an attitude.
00:01:53.580
There will be no gloating on today's broadcast.
00:01:59.940
We are here just to tell you the facts and certainly not to gloat over what happened last night.
00:02:13.780
But I am not your trained little monkey that is just going to do another gloatfest.
00:02:31.540
So if you've ever had to go through the process of buying or selling a home and your real estate
00:02:35.940
agent, you know, this experience was, you know, about as fun and useful as rolling through
00:02:42.760
a patch of cactus, which, hey, I mean, I know it's probably cacti if you're a snob, but,
00:02:53.420
You need somebody who is going to actually find the right house for you.
00:03:02.800
That's why I call my company realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:03:31.200
It's all about sportsmanship in a moment like this.
00:03:35.780
You know, both sides fought a good game battle.
00:03:45.560
And at the end of the day, you have to take a step back and say, we need to come together.
00:03:54.900
And someone gloating about a win would work against that.
00:04:02.820
Stu and I have promised that we will not gloat.
00:04:11.680
And Pat has not made the promise, you know, to not gloat.
00:04:25.680
No, you know, I haven't really made that promise, so I could, but I.
00:04:40.420
It looks like Terry McAuliffe has lost the state of Virginia.
00:05:23.320
I mean, we could look at Winsome Sears, the conservative Republican who will be Virginia's next lieutenant
00:05:34.580
Also, the first woman of color in the office of in their 400 year history of Virginia.
00:06:10.060
So I'm glad you guys aren't doing that today because it shows a certain amount of maturity.
00:06:30.280
He's behind now and it looks like they're stealing the election now in Jersey.
00:06:37.800
They're only going to do it in New Jersey today.
00:06:48.720
Why would we be listening to this of all things in the world?
00:06:56.240
Would it be better if it was the Soviet national anthem?
00:07:04.360
So let's go ahead and, you know, give them the credit.
00:07:13.960
I will say the outstanding vote is all in blue counties.
00:07:55.720
Biden's build back better bill, a package of social welfare program and climate investments,
00:08:00.980
has fared little better than his his overall approval rating.
00:08:10.280
Twenty five percent of Americans believe the legislation would help people like them, while
00:08:14.220
thirty two percent plurality say it will hurt them.
00:08:19.200
The remaining respondents say they don't know enough about the top of the president's top
00:08:36.180
The question is the question is, is it Joe Biden's fault?
00:08:42.040
There is another hypothesis that Biden's woes derive primarily from media distortions.
00:09:06.560
If you just keep doing the things you're doing.
00:09:11.020
OK, so listen, they're saying that this this is backed up by two political and economic
00:09:23.380
One, by many reasonable metrics, the political and economic situation is fairly good.
00:09:39.700
Two, the media environment is structurally biased against Democrats.
00:09:53.380
And the mainstream media's tendency to drive down approval of the in party power.
00:10:05.160
So they're saying that because people don't know the truth because of the mainstream media
00:10:20.160
Oh, I mean, can you not that you're totally out of touch with the everyday person?
00:10:31.440
When you look at the ratings of the left on, you know, MSNBC and CNN, it is true now.
00:10:48.840
That this is all racist nonsense coming from racist parents.
00:10:53.560
Yeah, they claimed it wasn't, it doesn't exist in Virginia schools at all.
00:10:58.780
Look at how they're claiming that, you know, the situation in the country, he's added more
00:11:08.080
Well, yeah, because no one was working when he was elected.
00:11:15.760
Remember, you guys were telling us none of our businesses could be open.
00:11:18.380
So I don't think bragging about how many jobs you've added is really much of anything.
00:11:24.980
Of course, conservative media did not become a cultural force in just the past three months.
00:11:29.820
So it can't be uniquely responsible for the turn in public opinion against Biden or at
00:11:36.040
What has predictably changed is the mainstream media's posture towards the president.
00:11:42.140
This was most overt in its coverage of Afghanistan withdrawal when the mainstream media subjective
00:11:48.980
Biden to weeks of relentlessly and, in my view, unjustifiably negative coverage.
00:12:05.780
It could not be seen as anything other than a success.
00:12:11.580
Biden said he couldn't have thought of a way it could have gone any better.
00:12:21.780
You leave thousands of your citizens to die in the war zone.
00:12:25.060
And leave them billions of dollars in equipment.
00:12:28.980
You give them all the fancy equipment, all the stuff that they've been trying to get
00:12:32.480
Do you remember in 1946 with the Nazi resurgence in Germany?
00:12:57.800
I want everyone else in the audience not to listen for about 20 seconds.
00:13:03.440
And we will double the amount of people that have heard this from MSNBC.
00:13:13.520
I watched Glenn Youngkin's interviews on Fox News and he did nothing that he did not.
00:13:19.700
He worshipped at the altar of Donald Trump on Fox News.
00:13:29.620
He did not really put much distance between himself and Donald Trump on the big lie or the
00:13:35.100
deadly insurrection in which police officers were maimed by flagpole.
00:13:40.780
I think that the real ominous thing is that critical race theory, which isn't real, is the suburbs.
00:13:50.880
15 points to the Trump insurrection endorsed Republican.
00:14:04.620
They should continue down this same road for the 2022 election.
00:14:32.320
They live in this place where everyone agrees with them.
00:14:49.720
They I think they actually think that if they say it enough, they'll convince people that it's true.
00:14:56.520
And that was a Nicole Wallace, by the way, who was a former Republican.
00:15:04.060
I am fascinated, too, by understanding that not only apparently is critical race theory not being taught in school, it now isn't real.
00:15:13.100
Like all of these colleges and universities that have departments set up to study it.
00:15:53.560
Well, you missed it because we won't be doing that again.
00:15:58.080
We're telling you today what not to do in your life.
00:16:04.000
We are gloating here so that you understand that's bad to do.
00:16:22.760
Imagine waking up in the morning and bouncing out of bed ready to face the day and anything
00:16:29.780
By the way, I saw the Rolling Stones last night here in Dallas.
00:16:47.180
Rafe said to me a few weeks ago, he's like, hey, dad, the Rolling Stones are coming.
00:16:50.500
And I'm like, the Rolling Stones, you want to see the Rolling Stones?
00:16:58.160
And I'm like, you're a fan of the Rolling Stones?
00:17:05.080
I mean, I went to ELO, CELO, and it was like, no more, no more, no more.
00:17:34.140
Everybody else is like, no more, no more, no more, no more.
00:17:46.580
He's probably, he was probably with some 20-year-old last night.
00:17:53.520
If your body is experiencing pain, you don't have to live that way.
00:17:58.940
Apparently, if you do a lot of drugs in the 60s, you're fine later.
00:18:45.360
Conservatives now have a majority of the Carroll Independent School District in the Dallas suburb of Southlake,
00:18:51.980
where the parents previously led an electoral revolt against racial equity.
00:19:01.220
This one is amazing, too, for another reason, Glenn,
00:19:03.860
because this is this seat was the seat that now turns the school board against the CRT stuff that was being floated there.
00:19:11.320
And in the in the meantime, since this revolt happened, NBC News did this big documentary and podcast series about how terribly racist this town is.
00:19:24.480
They have like a couple of incidents from 10 years ago where like a teenager said a racial slur.
00:19:29.080
And that's like their whole case about this town being racist.
00:19:31.880
What they were doing was the teenage girls were singing a rap song.
00:19:38.960
But the best part about this is NBC has dumped.
00:19:41.900
I don't know how much money in advertising how bad this particular town in Texas is because they're so racist.
00:19:54.980
Yesterday for the school board to turn the school board.
00:20:14.120
Three challengers who oppose school COVID masks mandates defeated incumbents in Iowa on the Johnson school board.
00:20:27.320
They're trying to say here that it's dark money.
00:20:30.260
Candidates who favored a quicker return in person instruction.
00:20:34.100
Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, the school board elections went towards the Republicans in Douglas County outside of Denver.
00:20:43.160
The conservative vote for kids first, a slate of four candidates leading comfortably yet this morning.
00:20:50.660
And in the Olath, I guess, and Blue Valley in Kansas, it looks like the conservative newcomers that campaigned for parent choice and against mask mandates, CRT, and against gender issues in schools were winning last night as well.
00:21:16.680
Well, now we know it really doesn't exist, at least in those areas.
00:21:20.840
Minneapolis, the voters there rejected the proposal to replace the police department with something else that laid.
00:21:34.140
Voters opposed the amendment by a 12-point margin.
00:21:41.280
Because that one early on looked like it might get through.
00:21:44.860
And they apparently did not want to defund the police as much as they thought they did.
00:21:53.780
The mayoral candidate and Democratic Socialist, India Walton, appears to have lost her race with an unusual write-in candidate.
00:22:09.940
The mayor lost the primary and then decided to try to run as an independent.
00:22:14.480
Then said, all right, I'll run as a write-in candidate and beat the Democratic Socialist.
00:22:28.120
All of the big, you know, Chuck Schumer, everybody big was up there campaigning for her.
00:22:49.560
I don't think it was a good night for Democrats and progressives.
00:22:56.020
There is nothing better than being surrounded by family and friends who have made food.
00:23:05.920
Now, if you're somebody who is trying to watch your waistline, because I know I am.
00:23:10.880
I mean, you do not get a body like this just through happenstance.
00:23:22.520
However, Bilt Bar, which will give you the same kind of satisfaction made with real chocolate, 130 calories with only four grams of sugar and plenty of protein.
00:23:32.860
So, replace the coconut cream pie or the pumpkin pie with a Bilt Bar.
00:23:39.560
And, I mean, you know, you don't have to do it for both holidays.
00:23:42.900
But maybe one holiday would be good and wise to stay away from all of that.
00:23:50.080

If you want to extend your Glowfest today, you've got to listen to the podcast of Pat Gray Unleashed.
00:24:17.080
From selenazito.com is the one and only Selenazito.
00:24:32.840
Well, I think the thing is, is if you're trying to understand an election and you're trying to understand a sort of sentiment and how, uh, and how granular, um, voting can be and personal for, for, for people is to literally go to them and listen to them.
00:24:55.720
They may not always tell you who they're voting for, but they will tell you what issues are important to them.
00:25:03.240
And if you understand human behavior, you can start to understand that when something is changing.
00:25:11.320
So it was a very good night, uh, last night for anyone other than progressive socialists, um, even in, even in San Francisco and Seattle, uh, the socialists did poorly.
00:25:26.200
Uh, and then there were, then there were things like the, the truck driver who had just had enough in New Jersey spent less than $200 on his campaign and looks like he just beat the state Senate president, a Democrat.
00:25:55.740
Look, if you strike a chord with voters, if you understand what their concerns are, if you are deeply rooted to the community as they are, you're going to capture their, uh, um, their imagination in people that are successful in governing.
00:26:12.220
Are people that are aspirational, people who are able to make, um, people believe they are part of something bigger than themselves.
00:26:21.380
And that, if you listen to Glenn Youngkin, if you listen to Jason Mayara's, and if you listen to the house of delegate candidates that were conservative, they all had that message in various different ways.
00:26:35.580
They understood the people and what the people wanted and what the people were longing for.
00:26:42.980
And, and that is, that is what I wrote about in, in my book, The Great Revolt.
00:26:49.140
I, I, I looked at these sort of different, um, coalition or, or, or different archetypes of voters who really didn't have a lot in common, um, except their rootedness to community and their sort of, um, unhappiness with our cultural curators, um, who run our businesses, our sports entities, our institutions, academia, and Hollywood.
00:27:15.560
And, and, and that, that, that sense of not being respected by those institutions is what drew them together.
00:27:24.520
That aspiration was incredibly important in this election.
00:27:29.220
And, and I think that the Democrats really failed because they don't know how to run unless Trump is on the ticket.
00:27:38.320
It was never about Donald Trump, uh, voters, whether you loved him or liked him or hated him, he was, they have moved on voters don't act in the way, um, of looking through the rear view mirror.
00:27:54.440
They're always forward looking, especially in local elections because the, the roads, the bridges, the education, taxation, inflation, uh, and economic development are constantly on their minds.
00:28:11.160
And I, I want to also point out to your listeners, one of the others, two of the other sort of interesting races for Democrats was the, uh, race for mayor of Buffalo.
00:28:24.160
And the, and the referendum on policing in, in Minneapolis, all these strident, uh, or woke sort of, um, platforms and, and positions failed miserably because people want police to protect them.
00:28:42.080
They don't want a socialist to, uh, to, uh, to, uh, run their city because mayors are supposed to be good managers.
00:28:53.680
And, and, and so, you know, and, and Democrats and the media really failed to grasp, um, what voters were so displeased with.
00:29:05.980
And, and, and they focused too much on Trump and they focused too much on, on every time someone said something they didn't like, that person was a racist.
00:29:24.180
I mean, I, I'm, I'm, I'm trying to put together all of the, the pieces.
00:29:29.780
And I think there's lots of reasons and you've named most of them.
00:29:35.040
Um, but there is a, there is this feeling that the left is elitist.
00:29:43.940
And most of the times they're talking, you know, it's Latinx, it's Latinx.
00:29:48.520
Nobody says Latinx except, I mean, how you say that.
00:29:54.380
I just looked at it and was like, I don't know what that word is.
00:29:56.920
Yeah, it's Latinx, uh, and, and, which I think is so New Jersey.
00:30:05.920
Um, but, uh, you know, they have their own language and I think it is off putting to a lot of people.
00:30:15.160
They, they just feel this elitism coming at them.
00:30:20.040
Um, uh, is it, is it, is it this plus the agenda that we've seen in Washington, you know, plus the economy?
00:30:37.980
Here's the, if you want one word to describe this election cycle, I would use the word overreach.
00:30:50.300
It's an overreach in believing that you were sent to Washington, um, and with a mandate.
00:30:56.220
And you certainly weren't because you barely won.
00:30:58.900
You don't have a majority in the Senate and you barely have a majority in the house.
00:31:05.960
And I would add on overreach on COVID, overreach on mandates, overreach on, on everything.
00:31:17.940
And voters always want to either put the brakes on that or correct it.
00:31:24.340
If they're putting the brakes on it, then you will only see it in a handful of elections because Democrats will then get the message.
00:31:31.640
But if they want to correct it, that means you have new people in the conservative coalition.
00:31:38.900
I would argue that is the direction that this is going because of the influx of blue collar, uh, voters into the conservative movement.
00:31:49.900
Um, that aren't just white, they're black, they're Hispanic, they're Asian.
00:31:54.440
I mean, they, they lost a lot of their black and Hispanic vote in Virginia.
00:31:58.960
I mean, that should be very concerning to the Democrats.
00:32:02.960
But, you know, I have been punishing myself all morning and listening and watching on social media, but also on MSNBC and CNN, watching the reaction and their, their belief as to what went wrong.
00:32:18.740
And I'm just, I shouldn't be stunned, but I'm stunned that they think, yeah, they think, well, if only we would have passed $3 trillion.
00:32:31.900
Voters wanted a regular sort of good infrastructure bill that, that, that keeps the roads, roads and bridges, um, and creates more broadband.
00:32:42.340
They do not want social engineering and, and, and, and environmental justice and criminal justice and free everything.
00:32:53.860
So you're a, you're, you're a student of, of history enough to be able to, I think, answer this, uh, with some backing, uh, in, in 1919, this is the mood.
00:33:06.260
What we're feeling right now, I think is the mood that was happening in 1919.
00:33:16.560
But what he did is when people started rejecting him, he said, I got to go out on the road.
00:33:22.600
I've got to, they're just too stupid to get it.
00:33:24.820
I haven't made enough speeches for them to get it.
00:33:27.660
I think that's what they're going to do, uh, this time around, which led to 10 years of the Republicans and the progressives being banished until they cloaked themselves again, uh, and, and shuffled things up.
00:33:54.900
They do not believe that they are at fault for this happening.
00:34:00.600
Uh, the same voters that they praised in 2020 have now become the, the, the, the voters of stupid.
00:34:07.380
And that's sort of, uh, the big, um, hurdle that they are, they have shown no, um, willingness to try to tackle.
00:34:19.920
They're going to go out and scold voters about not knowing, not understanding, not, uh, um, believing that they know better and they're going to fix their lives.
00:34:33.900
They want to be able to achieve whatever they want to achieve on their own.
00:34:38.680
They want that sense of earning the next step, earning the next, um, um, milestone that they are able to achieve.
00:34:51.880
You know, that's an innate thing in, in, in the American DNA that the Democrats have been trying to squash for the past 12 years.
00:35:00.620
So here's, what's frightening about all of this.
00:35:02.580
They become more and more arrogant and they are so self isolated that they convince each other that they are right.
00:35:13.340
And this is a group of people where you've got the president saying, my patience is wearing thin.
00:35:20.420
This is a group of people that will begin to really punish, not just scold, but to find ways to really punish people.
00:35:29.980
Yeah, well, in, in that effort, they are going to lose constituencies that they never should lose, you know, on paper, uh, people are not, you know, I, I called this cycle way back in January, two days after, uh, um, uh, Biden was sworn in and just started eliminating people's jobs on the pipeline.
00:35:55.440
I said, there is going to be a great awakening.
00:36:01.040
While everyone focused on the Democrats wins slim as they were, they missed the red wave that had already started down ballot.
00:36:09.140
People just in Pennsylvania alone rejected wokeness in, in, in, in depth and Republicans won in state Senate seats in places that have been reliably, reliably Democrat for decades.
00:36:22.080
And no one paid attention to those results, but I understood that this sort of great awakening was already in flux.
00:36:32.000
It was, it, it started to sort of poke up during the, um, during the first few days after the inauguration.
00:36:40.620
But I will tell you the most pivotal thing that happened, um, for Democrats.
00:36:44.880
And, and I don't think people understand this is how is Afghanistan.
00:36:49.520
And we talked about this yesterday that, that changed everything, that negligence.
00:36:57.520
And that is the key word that negligence is, is what made people stop and say, wait, what, this is not what I bought into.
00:37:09.120
However, I did not want it at the, at the, at the cost of people's lives.
00:37:13.560
I did not want it as a cost of, of our reputation and, and, and, uh, and, and people saw through the lies and are just continuing to see through the lies under this issue.
00:37:25.720
I've, I've, I've only got 30 seconds is the, are these two bills waiting in Congress?
00:37:31.680
Are they going to be jammed through or do you see the, the sane Democrats say, I am no way, no way am I getting on board with that?
00:37:41.440
See, I have always thought that their second bill wasn't going to pass.
00:37:45.660
Um, and I, I still think that it's not going to, I think the infrastructure, the bipartisan infrastructure bill does pass.
00:38:00.080

00:40:04.480
I am so thrilled, uh, coming up in just a few minutes to have a new friend of mine, Jim Lentz.
00:40:15.200
Uh, he is, uh, also the former chief executive officer for, uh, uh, or no, sorry,
00:40:21.800
the chief operating officer for Toyota Motor Corporation in Japan.
00:40:26.600
The guy has been responsible for so much, including moving Toyota from California to Plano, Texas.
00:40:33.480
But we were having dinner, um, recently, and I just asked him to explain the problem
00:40:39.340
with the supply chain and what it means and how long is it going to take to fix it.
00:40:45.280
And he just has real knowledge of the supply chain and can explain it in such a way that
00:40:54.080
Um, I understood it, but holy cow, it is much more than anybody really thinks.
00:41:01.880
There's also continued updates on what is happening with last night's election.
00:41:09.180
Sometimes the most important issues are the most complicated.
00:41:12.600
Take finding insurance, uh, whether it's for your car or your home, endless companies
00:41:18.300
and coverage options that you need to consider.
00:41:21.560
And, um, you know, you want to just talk to some real people.
00:41:27.060
This is where the zebra comes in the zebra.com.
00:41:31.480

00:41:55.200
Compare quotes for free at the zebra.com slash back.
00:42:04.180
Uh, we're going to cover the election here for a couple of minutes, and then we're going
00:42:09.880
And that is the economy, uh, with a guy who has given me an entirely new perspective on
00:42:25.200
What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:43:18.000
He is the former CEO of Toyota North America and COO of Toyota Motor Corporation.
00:43:23.480
And we were having dinner the other night, and he explained the supply chain.
00:43:28.940
Wait until you hear a how amazing it is, and then try to figure out how are we going to
00:43:38.300
She wrote in recently to talk about the Tuttle Twins books and what they mean to her family.
00:43:42.680
She said, Glenn, I have to let you know this book series has meant the world to our family.
00:44:02.640
Anyway, when we finish all of them, we start right over again.
00:44:06.460
Our reading has led to relevant discussions of current events and an understanding of government
00:44:14.440
So, listen, waking America up from its slumber, reminding ourselves of who we are starts with
00:44:21.420
Our kids are going to be the ones that really fight this battle in the future, and if you
00:44:26.860
are expecting them to be taught through osmosis or anything at school about how the free market
00:44:35.420
actually works, why a republic is the best system out there, you're not going to find it.
00:44:43.380
You're just not going to find it in their classrooms.
00:44:47.520
It's a great series, and they have a 35% discount off their books right now.
00:44:51.660
They're giving away the activity workbook at no additional cost.
00:45:07.220
Before we go and introduce you to Jim Lentz, I want to get a quick update from Stu on,
00:45:24.400
So, here are some of the results from last night.
00:45:28.200
He wins in Virginia in what would have been just a month ago a shocking upset.
00:45:33.060
It's important to say, because we got to that point in the last week before the election
00:45:36.840
where we thought he might win, that this is a devastating defeat for Terry McAuliffe.
00:45:45.940
And I will tell you, I have lots to say on this.
00:45:48.740
I think just the Terry McAuliffe loss tells us many things that we need to know.
00:45:56.300
Basically, progressives lost almost everywhere, including in Buffalo, where a socialist Democrat
00:46:01.800
lost to a write-in candidate who was just a normal, crazy Democrat.
00:46:07.380
The only real victory for real hardcore progressivism around the country was in Boston, the mayor
00:46:22.220
People who are more normal and more conservative, if you can use that word, in San Francisco were
00:46:32.200
I mean, it's the Seattle, the school board in San Francisco flipped away from these people
00:46:39.200
who were saying, we're going to rename George Washington high school.
00:46:44.700
A couple more big school board victories in Texas as well.
00:46:49.300
One other interesting situation was in New York.
00:46:52.540
Not really covered too much, but there's three ballot initiatives.
00:46:54.960
All of them sort of trying to open up elections like, you know, same day registration and things
00:47:02.100
All of them failed and failed badly in New York, which is remarkable.
00:47:06.800
And then the other big race that everyone's watching right now is New Jersey.
00:47:14.160
The governor race there, Biden won New Jersey by 16 points.
00:47:22.740
Murphy, the Democrat, is leading at this point.
00:47:25.960
You know, as someone who goes through all this stuff all the time, the votes that are
00:47:32.200
And I would expect Murphy to hold on to this, though it's going to be very, very close.
00:47:38.880
Even the fact that it was close is almost more impressive than what happened in Virginia.
00:47:42.780
So the economy, schools, the culture, what's happening in Washington, D.C., the wild unpopularity
00:47:55.580
But one of the big things that everyone was talking about across the country as they were
00:48:04.080
And the supply chain is really hard to understand.
00:48:11.940
He is, he's been the head of, you were the head of Toyota for how long?
00:48:18.520
Sales side about six years and about seven years CEO for North America.
00:48:22.680
So he was the CEO for Toyota Motor Corporation of North America and the chief operating officer
00:48:30.960
And he is, he was, he was there for all of the big things, including the move from California
00:48:41.800
And also you were there for the big earthquake.
00:48:45.140
In Japan, which I think would play a little bit of a role that you could learn from now
00:48:54.580
So can you explain the supply chain to the audience like you did to me when I asked you,
00:49:01.080
I said, so what is happening with the supply chain?
00:49:04.280
So the biggest thing to understand is supply chain is a system and there are a lot of different
00:49:10.620
And it really starts with forecasting and ordering what you think.
00:49:15.080
So as a manufacturer, I have to forecast what my future needs of automobiles will be.
00:49:20.180
I place that manufacturing order and let's say something that's being produced overseas.
00:49:25.680
It gets produced, it gets shipped, it gets processed at the port.
00:49:30.540
It then gets transported, whether it gets trucked to the ultimate place of sale or a warehouse,
00:49:37.360
or it gets moved into a rail yard and then it gets railed and eventually it gets sold.
00:49:43.140
So the challenge is when the supply chain breaks down, all of that has to operate in sync.
00:49:50.180
If you concentrate as we are today on just the port operations, you're just going to move
00:49:56.820
that supply chain problem further down the road.
00:50:00.600
Because let's just, and I'm sure it doesn't work this way, but let's just say you have
00:50:05.380
shipment of a whole bunch of steering wheels coming in.
00:50:08.420
Well, what are you going to do with all the steering wheels?
00:50:10.920
Because you're missing the chips because the chips aren't in.
00:50:13.720
You need all of them to come in in an ordered way, right?
00:50:16.900
And can you explain how sophisticated the supply chain is for fact, for factories like Toyota?
00:50:24.200
Well, you know, so literally the, the Japanese kind of invented just in time and just in time
00:50:30.820
means when I build a vehicle in my plant, literally the part that goes on that truck may only arrive
00:50:39.360
In fact, our plant here in Texas that builds the Tundra, we actually have suppliers on site,
00:50:46.540
So they will build their seats in the same sequence that I build my vehicle.
00:50:52.120
So that seat literally arrives maybe 20 minutes before it needs to, to be able to go down that
00:50:59.700
And I think the biggest thing as a result of all this, lean manufacturing was created to
00:51:06.080
So you didn't have to warehouse 30 and 60 days worth of parts.
00:51:10.340
Because when you were, when you were at Ford, this is many years ago, almost 40 years ago,
00:51:15.020
when you were at Ford, you, you told me that there were times when you ran out of the right color
00:51:24.300
You put in whatever you had at the end of the year.
00:51:27.140
So, so, you know, the world's gotten away from that.
00:51:30.200
But the big question that, that COVID in this supply chain crisis has created is can lean
00:51:36.960
manufacturing as we know it today, just in time, literally hours before it's needed,
00:51:44.500
Or are we going to need to go backwards a little bit, create more warehousing.
00:51:51.560
It's going to be interesting to see how this gets fixed because there's, there's an old
00:51:57.820
And that is when things were going wrong, you'd say the bull is in the ditch.
00:52:03.580
And the big question is not how the bull got there, not whose fault it was, not how you're
00:52:10.120
going to keep them out of the ditch in the future.
00:52:11.860
The question is, how do you get them out of the ditch today?
00:52:15.000
So today we need to be concentrating our efforts on the supply chain in these ports and
00:52:21.460
how can we get these ports cleared as quickly as possible?
00:52:25.840
So I've talked to the head of the truckers, independent truckers.
00:52:36.040
And they say the trucks, the reason why they have problems with truckers is sometimes these
00:52:40.500
truckers will wait eight hours at a port and they're not getting paid for that.
00:52:50.060
How, if you were president, how would you be fixing this?
00:52:53.140
I would go to somewhere like Wharton and get a systems expert on logistics to go down to
00:53:08.700
Is the bottleneck trucks going out of the port?
00:53:11.240
Is the bottleneck, how many, how many cranes we have to move it?
00:53:17.900
And if you look at Long Beach as an example, um, they've been processing roughly 18,000 containers
00:53:30.920
And, and, you know, as I started to research this for your show today, you can go back to
00:53:46.260
And there, there are, there are 540,000 containers sitting on ships waiting to be processed.
00:53:57.080
So, so if, if you look at those numbers, you've got to increase your, your throughput by 60%
00:54:03.600
just to keep up with what's coming, not even to cut into the backlog of what you have there.
00:54:10.180
So the only way to tackle this is to look at the entire system.
00:54:14.820
How can we improve the efficiency every step along the way?
00:54:18.720
Because if, if, for example, I find a way to work 24 seven at every term terminal and
00:54:25.100
I start putting out all these containers, well, your next problem is going to be at the
00:54:29.620
You're not going to have, you're not going to have enough trains to move the merchandise.
00:54:32.820
And then if you fix that problem, then where are you going to put all this stuff?
00:54:38.640
If you go into Walmart today and there's something that's not in stock and you say, well, do you
00:54:52.620
Like something created like 18 times a day because it's just in time, right?
00:54:57.860
They, they predict when they're going to be out of these products.
00:55:03.120
I mean, literally at one end of the plant, we'll have parts arrive and literally within
00:55:09.480
hours, it is taken from there and it's put on the assembly line.
00:55:14.160
Rarely do parts sit for a very long period of time.
00:55:17.120
Well, that seems like an impossible problem to fix because you have to fix it from both
00:55:25.100
And a lot of the stuff in these 540,000 containers are not going to be used right away.
00:55:32.920
Which is going to cause a problem if they are parts used to complete whatever it might
00:55:38.820
be, a, a, a television, an automobile, a piece of furniture, it creates that problem
00:55:44.560
And, and understand too, in China today, their main port, they have problems with electricity.
00:55:51.520
They have a problem with manpower and they're likely running short on cargo containers.
00:55:59.680
So at some point in time, you're going to have this glut sitting over there ready to come
00:56:05.420
And this armada is going to keep on coming until this system gets fixed.
00:56:11.380
Now, the, the big challenge is, um, the port infrastructure needs to be improved.
00:56:17.380
In the case of Long Beach, I don't think there's much more land to deal with.
00:56:21.740
So until you can improve the efficiency and that's, that takes someone to sit down and
00:56:28.380
At, at Toyota, as an example, we have a department that works in our plants just on efficiency
00:56:34.300
and they'll sit and they'll observe what's going on on an assembly line to figure out where
00:56:41.480
How can, how can we change something to improve the safety or improve the efficiency of what
00:56:47.920
And it may just be something that saves two or three seconds, but it makes a huge difference
00:56:54.300
That same type of thought process has to go into fixing a complex problem.
00:57:03.900
I mean, should we be looking for the short term to get us back to this kind of a system?
00:57:12.640
It seems to me, one of the things we learned was there are some things like chips and medicine
00:57:19.440
that maybe we should make here in America, uh, for just for our, our own strategy.
00:57:27.820
Um, but does this system go back to the way it was?
00:57:32.460
Well, I think the difficulty is if you look at California, the ports and long beach, I
00:57:44.720
And if you're landlocked and that much throughput is increasing, it was, it was inevitable that
00:57:51.860
you were going to have challenges unless you changed how you operate it.
00:57:56.880
Um, you know, the, the difficulty with just moving chips to the U S as an example, there
00:58:03.120
are roughly 50 chip manufacturers in the world.
00:58:16.000
Uh, roughly 90% of all the really high tech sophisticated chips come out of Taiwan.
00:58:22.000
Um, most all the chips come out of somewhere in Asia.
00:58:27.140
If it's not Taiwan, it's, it's Japan, it's Vietnam, it's China number two, isn't it?
00:58:33.640
I think if you add Taiwan and China together, they are by far the largest.
00:58:38.100
So if Taiwan falls to China, they have a gun to our head to the globe.
00:58:46.180
And the difficulty is it takes a long time to build one of these plants and they're very
00:58:52.460
You know, a new chip plant today is 15 to $20 billion to build.
00:59:01.240
So, um, we're going to continue our conversation here in, in, uh, just a second.
00:59:05.520
I, this is what, when you think about build back better, which is just a slogan to change
00:59:17.900
This is the kind of stuff that we should be talking about.
00:59:21.020
Can we get a relief to help build chip manufacturing plants here in America?
00:59:30.880
They're going, they're going to green energy and all of this, this garbage that is not going
00:59:36.880
to help us out in the future to remain, uh, ahead of the rest of the world.
00:59:42.340
Or at least even competitive with the rest of the world.
00:59:44.960
Back in just a second, 60 seconds to tell you about Debra and she lives in Massachusetts.
00:59:48.900
She writes in about her experience with taking a relief factor for pain.
00:59:52.460
She said, I started taking relief factor four days ago about hearing after hearing about
00:59:57.120
it on your show for so long, amazingly, my hip pain in four days is almost completely gone.
01:00:04.080
Used to be, I had horrible time sleeping because of that pain, but not anymore.
01:00:07.960
I am absolutely loving how I'm feeling these days.
01:00:13.920
And that's a, I mean, that's close to a miracle four days and you're already pain free.
01:00:18.420
Um, you know, if you're taking it for three weeks, you should start to see some relief
01:00:24.460
And if you're not seeing anything in three weeks, stop taking it.
01:00:28.060
You're probably, you're, you're part of the 30% probably that it won't work on.
01:00:48.600
Uh, so am I wrong with that assessment that, that we're not doing the right?
01:01:07.400
It doesn't seem like we're focused on the right things as a nation.
01:01:11.240
Well, and part of it, I think if you look at build back better, there is money in there
01:01:19.920
And I think there's infrastructure to try and improve the port.
01:01:22.460
So, but it's being undershadowed by some of the rest of this garbage stuff.
01:01:31.320
Um, so, you know, trying to get people prepared for the short term, uh, I've been saying for
01:01:40.020
a while by your Christmas presents now, uh, because when they run out, they run out, right?
01:01:47.640
Um, what, what industries do you think are going to be most effect?
01:01:52.800
How is the consumer going to be most affected by this?
01:01:56.960
Well, you know, I, I can speak primarily of the car industry.
01:02:00.100
Uh, you know, right now consumers are spending a lot more for vehicles.
01:02:04.420
If you go in to buy a new car today, chances are there are, they are not discounting them
01:02:08.920
because an industry that typically has good selection, 60 days worth of cars on, on the
01:02:15.700
ground today, they may have five days worth of cars on the ground.
01:02:19.700
You were trying to buy a car, uh, recently and you couldn't get the options that you wanted.
01:02:23.960
You were, yeah, I mean, it's, and it's, it's ordered, but it's, they just, they won't even
01:02:28.760
give me a date and when they expect to deliver it.
01:02:31.920
Because they may not know because they're not sure when the parts are going to come in.
01:02:35.580
Because if you look at it and chips are a big part of it, but an average car has anywhere
01:02:40.820
from 50 to say 150 chips, if it's a hybrid or an EV, it may have thousands of chips and
01:02:49.980
the more sophisticated your car, the more chips it has anti-lock brakes, um, lane departure
01:02:57.360
warning, dynamic cruise control, navigation, all of that creates more.
01:03:02.360
So is it possible that we are entering a time to where your car breaks down and you just
01:03:09.080
don't have one for a while because it's just sitting in the shop.
01:03:13.420
I mean, good news is at least with chips, that doesn't happen very often, but sure.
01:03:17.300
I mean, if, if, if you're bringing some of your parts from overseas, in our case, we buy
01:03:23.200
$33 billion worth of parts a year in the U S so fewer and fewer and fewer come, but sure.
01:03:31.680
You've, uh, your cruise control goes out and you need a new component.
01:03:37.720
And, and, and as you mentioned, um, to be able to produce vehicles today, some of the
01:03:42.640
manufacturers are reducing the, the options that are on back in just a second, the supply
01:03:55.500
Also, we give you an update and I have a lot more to say about, uh, last night's election
01:04:01.920
And we'll have another update on, uh, who won, who lost yesterday.
01:04:06.460
Um, you know, if you're a fan of this program, you're in a happy place today.
01:04:11.120
Patriot mobile is one of those companies that we all need to start doing business with.
01:04:16.340
Um, AT and T just did a big session this week where they were teaching their employees.
01:04:21.960
Uh, if you were white, that you're part of the problem and you need to be less white.
01:04:26.920
I don't even know what that means quite honestly.
01:04:34.460
I don't want to do business with people who are funding planned parenthood like Verizon
01:04:39.400
I would rather because I can get the same great service and I can get it at half the
01:04:45.140
I can get that from Patriot mobile, a company that is not, uh, let me put it this way.
01:04:54.680
I'd rather be for something than against something.
01:04:57.700
And Patriot mobile is something that will give me the same great service, half the cost.
01:05:28.920
We have an update on what's happening, uh, in the, it was a good night.
01:05:33.120
It was a very, very good night in case you missed that.
01:05:39.180
Seattle, uh, to Virginia, believe it or not, uh, not a good night.
01:05:44.940
If you are a deep progressive, um, we're talking to Jim Lentz.
01:05:49.060
He is, uh, he's in, he's the former CEO of Toyota North America and the former COO of Toyota Motor Corporation, um, in, um, in Japan.
01:06:02.400
And in the wall street journal, uh, I think it's, yeah, this week, two days ago, there was a full page ad that Toyota took out.
01:06:12.420
Let's not play politics with the environment, the American autoworker and the American consumer.
01:06:18.180
Toyota believes the future of automobiles is electric.
01:06:22.240
We also believe Congress needs to provide incentives for the purchase of electric vehicles to speed the transition to the electric future.
01:06:31.520
They want to give an extra $4,500 incentive exclusively for electric vehicles made by workers who have decided to join a union.
01:06:40.240
What does this say to the American autoworker who's decided not to join a union?
01:06:45.620
It says their work, their work is worth $4,500 less because they made that choice.
01:06:52.180
Um, this doesn't, I mean, this is the problem in Washington is a, I think the, the car business is the future is electric, possibly hydrogen in the end.
01:07:06.940
And I don't know for sure, but the American consumer is not being allowed to drive that innovation.
01:07:15.940
Uh, and, and now if you really cared about climate change, why would you say, you know, how, how many, how many car companies are union?
01:07:33.040
There's probably a greater percentage non-union in this country.
01:07:38.600
Yeah, it's, it's, it's, it's nuts because, you know, the, the administration has put out the challenge of selling 50% electric vehicles by 2030.
01:07:49.780
But if 60% or 50%, call it 50 50 of the manufacturers can't participate in that because of a $4,500 less incentive and, and to put 4,500 in perspective, that's a hundred dollars a month in payments.
01:08:08.060
So that's a huge number for the average person that's going into purchase.
01:08:11.480
So, you know, to me, it's just, it's, it's, it's, it's bad policy.
01:08:18.580
I mean, what are you telling that worker that is, is a great American worker that builds vehicles?
01:08:25.920
You're telling the consumer that you really have to buy from these three manufacturers, even though you may want to buy from someone else, a hundred bucks a month, big difference.
01:08:36.360
You're, you're saying that while the environment's important, the drive for unionization is more important.
01:08:50.780
And, and basically you're telling the taxpayer that it's okay for the government to use your tax dollars to put their thumb on the scale of competition.
01:09:00.480
And to me, that's the biggest problem in all this.
01:09:05.880
The problem is this crony capitalism that we are only making much worse with the ESG and everything that's happening in Scotland this week.
01:09:17.720
Um, they are picking winners and losers and this happened.
01:09:21.780
I mean, I am probably the only person crazy enough to cancel a multi-year contract with general motors.
01:09:28.740
The, the, the company tried to get general motors to advertise on talk radio forever.
01:09:33.400
And then they went into business with the government with TARP.
01:09:37.100
And, uh, I said, you know, when you get back out of business with the government, that's great.
01:09:42.960
But you just told me before this president came in that hydrogen was the future.
01:09:50.140
And when he gets in office, the first thing he does is say, you drop hydrogen and you'll get this, this money.
01:09:55.920
How can I represent a company that sells themselves out like that so fast?
01:10:03.780
Um, this is, they're picking winners and losers left and right.
01:10:12.340
And, and the government isn't good at picking winners and losers.
01:10:16.100
The, what works in America is let companies compete and let consumers choose who they like the best, what products they like the best.
01:10:26.000
You know, in our case, we, we do believe that electrification is going to be the future, but I can't tell you if that is a battery powered car, a hydrogen powered car, a hybrid car, a plug in hybrid car.
01:10:39.740
It's up to the consumers to make that decision.
01:10:42.500
And, and the risk in, in not allowing the consumer to make that decision, roughly in the marketplace, there are 250 million cars on the road.
01:10:57.360
So if you really want to clean up the environment, the key is to get the old cars off the road.
01:11:03.500
And, and yes, in a perfect world, if they were all electric, it would be wonderful.
01:11:09.880
But the unintended consequences people either don't want or can't afford the electric car.
01:11:18.340
They're going to drive older cars longer and they're going to create a bigger CO2 problem.
01:11:24.320
And they're also, they also don't, I mean, this is the thing, Jim, you know, you said earlier that China is having electrical problems.
01:11:32.360
They are, their power grid is, they're going dark.
01:11:35.520
Some, some cities, some factories are just literally dark in China.
01:11:40.580
Um, and they're building a new coal fire plant every week in China.
01:11:45.500
If the more we put onto the power grid, the more cars we're all plugging in there.
01:11:53.320
Look what happened to Texas last year because we added wind power and solar power and then turned the coal fire plants down and our nuclear energy down.
01:12:04.380
You can't do that while adding all of these cars.
01:12:09.120
I mean, we're going to be looking at real serious electrical problems.
01:12:15.400
I would, I would guess that's the case as well.
01:12:17.760
You know, part of it is you want to help as a manufacturer, you want to help lead consumers to a greener future.
01:12:25.240
But if you get too far out in front of the consumer, they will lose track of what you're trying to accomplish.
01:12:34.440
That's why we think as long as we can building hybrids and plug-in hybrids and electrics.
01:12:40.940
And eventually we believe the world is hydrogen because it's just a better battery.
01:12:48.220
People today, 75, almost 80% of what people are buying today are pickup trucks and SUVs.
01:12:56.940
Those take enormous batteries because of their weight to move.
01:13:04.840
The bigger the battery, the more power you need to move it.
01:13:10.200
But in the case of hydrogen, you're producing electricity on board.
01:13:14.300
So you need much smaller batteries, much less weight.
01:13:18.840
There are challenges with infrastructure to be able to build out a hydrogen infrastructure.
01:13:22.820
But there are challenges with an EV infrastructure today as well.
01:13:26.880
How does the average person who might live in a apartment or a condominium complex, they don't have a garage.
01:13:40.060
Where in the case of hydrogen, I think people want cars to act just like gasoline cars in the future.
01:13:47.780
I don't want to, I haven't bought an electric car because I don't want a car that only goes 400 miles.
01:13:58.020
I like to, I don't want to be limited at 400 miles.
01:14:01.420
And then I have to stop in the middle of some place and find a charging station.
01:14:08.000
And in the case of hydrogen, you can refuel your vehicle in about the same amount of time it takes to refuel a gas in the car.
01:14:14.900
So, you know, and eventually battery technology will catch up.
01:14:18.880
But we just have to understand that it's going to take time.
01:14:23.580
And let's not have perfect be the enemy of progress.
01:14:28.140
So we are, but we are putting rules down now that are, you know, 2030, 2050, which I think is a great goal, but not when you're mandating that you get there.
01:14:44.920
Well, eventually, if you make a mistake, there's going to be pushback from consumers.
01:14:48.860
If you start telling consumers, I'm sorry, but the only thing you're going to be able to drive is a four-passenger car to make an EV efficient, and they're coming out of their Escalade or they're coming out of their van, that's going to be a problem down the road.
01:15:06.820
And they're either not going to come out of the vehicle or they're just not going to be happy.
01:15:11.460
So companies like Toyota pushing back on this union thing, so that gives me a lot of hope that there are companies that are standing up for common sense and saying, no, no, this doesn't make any sense at all.
01:15:26.080
They're not just folding to the green agenda at all costs.
01:15:31.680
I mean, you can't because, you know, I've got a lot of stakeholders.
01:15:34.280
You know, I employ 36,000 people in the U.S. through 10 manufacturing plants.
01:15:41.560
I've got 180,000 dealer personnel that rely on Toyota to make their livelihoods.
01:15:49.240
You know, between the dealers and Toyota, we've invested over $60 billion in this country.
01:15:56.080
So, you know, we believe that we've earned a right for a seat at the table.
01:16:04.780
You know, on a retail basis, more people purchase Toyota products than any other brand.
01:16:11.080
See, I have to tell you, going the opposite direction, I think the one that doesn't really have a seat at the table is standing in the room.
01:16:20.260
But the one who doesn't have a seat at the table is the government.
01:16:22.760
I mean, the government should be there just to go, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, wait, wait, wait.
01:16:27.660
No, what you guys are talking about at the table, you can't do because of the Constitution.
01:16:32.320
But they are leading the discussions at the table now.
01:16:41.800
I mean, frankly, you know, Tesla vehicles aren't going to get this.
01:16:45.640
Because Revian, so if you look at the really companies that are really pushing the EV side, the real innovators, they're also locked out of this.
01:17:03.400
This is Jim Lentz, former CEO, Toyota North America, COO of Toyota Motor Corporation in Japan.
01:17:16.260
Our sponsor this half hour is American Financing.
01:17:19.280
You got to get your financial house in the best shape it can be.
01:17:23.460
The concept of storing up in good times for when bad time comes.
01:17:28.940
Old is the Bible and just as relevant today as it was then.
01:17:36.400
You know, you want to improve your financial status.
01:17:45.300
An easy way for you to save money is to consolidate your mortgage with all of your high interest credit cards or just to get a lower interest rate.
01:17:58.760
It just has to come up if we're going to stop inflation.
01:18:05.500
There's, you know, there's no tricks and no obligation.
01:18:09.780
You just call them and see if they can help you.
01:18:12.620
I know several people in the audience that have called, and I've done this, and they're like, yeah, can't help you.
01:18:56.320
And while this guy's not a conservative, he's a former cop.
01:19:05.000
So in the midst of all this defund the police, even New Yorkers, who are bad crap crazy, even New Yorkers have said, yeah, we're not going down that road.
01:19:20.500
Really, almost exclusively across the country, the AOC wing of the party was absolutely handed defeat after defeat after defeat.
01:19:31.300
Which is really good news because, I mean, as much as it is easier to defeat the AOC wing of the party when you're talking about elections, but you don't want people like that in power.
01:19:44.060
God forbid, when they do sneak into office, they can do massive damage.
01:19:50.920
And you'd rather have a sane Democratic Party if it were ever to exist again.
01:19:57.740
So the fact that the AOC party and wing of the party is being shown to be an electoral loser over and over and over again is a good thing for the country.
01:20:07.840
By the way, tonight on the Wednesday night special, the insider story of the massive border crisis under President Biden.
01:20:15.800
This fiscal year, there have been over 1.7 million arrests on the southern border.
01:20:22.840
This is the highest number ever recorded, more than twice the population of Washington, D.C., three times the population of Wyoming.
01:20:32.180
And that's just the people who were caught crossing the border illegally.
01:20:36.120
In the past few few months, there's been around 1,000 additional people per day that Border Patrol refers to as gotaways.
01:20:46.840
The Biden-Harris administration has been AWOL on this.
01:20:54.760
Tonight, I'm sitting down with the recently ousted U.S. Border Patrol chief, Rodney Scott.
01:21:00.600
He is a 29-year border veteran who served under five different presidents.
01:21:08.100
Only one president has decided to politicize Scott's position.
01:21:14.820
He could have said a lot over the past several weeks about the disaster he has witnessed this year, but he's not a political hack.
01:21:21.840
He wanted to wait until the time was right to talk.
01:21:30.040
Do you want to hear what's really going on in the border?
01:21:33.220
How about the former border chief, the guy who has served under five different presidents?
01:21:38.060
He's going to talk about what happened tonight at 9 p.m.
01:21:42.820
Eastern, only on BlazeTV.com and BlazeTV YouTube.
01:21:49.300
If you're not part of the family yet, please join us.
01:21:59.660

01:22:26.920
We have a nice regular grill and we bought a Rectech for the promise really of you can smoke and smoke ribs, but also it cooks everything to perfection.
01:22:43.760
And at the price of meat, I don't want to be burning steaks.
01:22:58.340
Rectech is having a Black Friday sale that has already begun.

01:24:08.780
We're going to give you the facts and definitely, definitely not gloat.
01:24:31.100

Now, today is a day that I didn't know that it would come this soon.
01:26:31.880
um that was the example of what not to do today not to do you shouldn't do that at your workplace
01:26:38.500
somebody comes in and they're a little bit down today and they're like gee it looks like
01:26:44.100
the progressive socialists got their ass handed to them yeah the last thing you need to do is say
01:26:51.020
that would be wrong you shouldn't do that you should not do that the last thing you
01:27:01.580
should do thank you you shouldn't bring that song with you on your phone no in fact let me just give
01:27:06.860
you a clear cut of it go ahead everybody dance not that whoops not that that should be your ringtone
01:27:19.740
today oh you know that would be bad that would be terrible terrible you would be a bad person if you
01:27:25.260
did something like that too many times more than more than 10 more than 10 no more than 10
01:27:32.960
in an hour okay so so the signal from san francisco is pretty strong public you're talking about the
01:27:45.840
scent of the streets like they're just the public defecation the signal the signal said okay yeah
01:27:51.540
yeah yeah yeah uh public safety public education voters in san francisco said yesterday yeah uh
01:28:03.260
why don't you just pick up the garbage uh why don't you just get people to stop crapping on the streets
01:28:09.040
and uh stop trying to rename all of the uh you know george washington and abraham lincoln schools
01:28:15.420
we're pretty cool with that um that is that is astounding astounding to happen in san francisco
01:28:27.400
but uh it looks like i mean could we just play kamala harris this is one two three four cut four please
01:28:36.420
because you see what happens in virginia will in large part determine
01:28:49.080
she's right though suck see people say we can't be bipartisan we are we agree with her analysis on
01:29:04.340
that point 100 percent agree 100 percent agree yeah yeah that's right yeah yeah uh so that's the
01:29:13.900
problem but will they learn that lesson no and to that i say everybody
01:29:25.580
it's one of those days it is one of those days the only thing setting it aside from a perfect
01:29:33.920
wonderful day is what's happening in new jersey yeah which is incredibly good news for republicans
01:29:42.520
overall yeah and and quite honestly to even be close in new jersey to be close is astounding the
01:29:50.400
best poll in new jersey for chitarelli who's the republican there was a four point defeat and it's i don't
01:29:58.860
think it's going to be that high i think he looks like he is going to wind up losing in a very close
01:30:03.420
election just because the the vote that is hanging around is from democratic uh districts um but i will
01:30:10.100
say this what's interesting too when you look at on the other side of this in virginia the news of
01:30:15.080
of the governor uh situation and down the ticket is pretty good but the the house of uh delegates
01:30:20.880
um which is a fascinating uh race much more fascinating than the title house of delegates
01:30:28.020
would indicate because house of delegates i mean if that was a show on pbs the house of delegates i
01:30:35.100
would immediately so there's a few different crazy ones there first of all there's this guy um uh his
01:30:43.580
last name is it's chris hurst did i tell you the story this is a crazy one no go ahead so chris hurst
01:30:47.780
you don't know who he is of course but he you know something about him you know about the absolute
01:30:53.060
worst moment of his life okay okay so in 2015 remember this you'll remember this story
01:30:59.580
a video comes out of a female reporter doing a live hit on the air and she's interviewing someone
01:31:08.040
from the chamber of commerce locally and in the middle of the interview a gunman comes out and
01:31:15.080
kills her in the middle of the interview do you remember this story no you don't remember the story
01:31:19.420
we talked about it at the time the video was everywhere uh she was legitimately doing a local
01:31:23.420
news report gunman comes out kills her on the camera on camera kills the um cameraman as well
01:31:30.040
the the woman who she was interviewing got away um that woman the reporter who was killed was the
01:31:36.540
fiance of this guy chris hurst who after this incident wound up running for the house of delegates
01:31:43.980
he wins a close election wins another close election he's running again the night before the
01:31:51.740
election uh he is uh pulled over uh and apparently hold on just a second hold on just a second i was
01:31:59.800
promised i was promised here the uh you know the house of delegates or whatever that sounded
01:32:08.120
welcome to the house of delegates nobody nothing exciting like this happens in the house of
01:32:15.320
delegates all they do is talk about quorum calls right right that's what happens in the house
01:32:19.260
that's right that's right no and somebody is uh like a really bad maid yes to somebody else yeah okay
01:32:25.220
anyway so um this guy gets pulled over pulled over uh the night before the election um police talk to
01:32:33.780
him so it's unclear exactly what happened but either him or possibly the woman who was in his car
01:32:39.820
uh they catch them because they were vandalizing signs for his opponent so the night before the
01:32:47.460
election i guess they're just out tearing down signs for their opponent in the race long story on
01:32:52.860
that part short he winds up losing uh in the house of delegates this brings it to a 50 50 split
01:32:59.520
so dev republicans might have a you know they're gonna have a split control of this house however
01:33:05.740
in the overnight how many times have you heard this story in the overnight new votes were found
01:33:11.140
all the time all the time yeah new votes were found new votes were counted and the the outcome
01:33:18.000
changed in favor of the republicans and now republicans look like they'll have 52 seats not to in two
01:33:26.620
different seats they're gonna wind up getting a last minute win it looks like and it looks like
01:33:31.600
now republicans will get control of the house of delegates in virginia which nobody thought was
01:33:37.620
possible coming into last night so really i mean it's hard to limit how good the news was last night
01:33:45.740
wait a minute but it was supposed to be boring okay all right here's how we do it here's how we do it
01:33:55.340
um you know the uh the house of delegates uh there was somebody somebody that was not driving
01:34:03.460
bentley came up on a bicycle and he was riding and there was a sign there in the large lawn and he
01:34:13.440
looked at it and said this shan't stand and votes were found in the basement by the butler
01:34:23.740
and then that and then just like a long musical interlude out oh sorry
01:34:39.900
that's where they spend most of their money most of their money is on shows like the house yeah that
01:34:45.860
like really creepy eugenic stuff yeah sure but the house of delegates is the main part of the
01:34:51.380
organization not the actual house of delegates but the the show the show delegates tuesday nights
01:34:56.560
so really the only thing holding uh holding back the ultimate party today is this new jersey thing which
01:35:04.380
looks like it's you know this is like one of those situations where you're like a small college
01:35:08.640
you have no chance to win beat the big sec team you're playing and somehow you've got the ball on
01:35:15.520
the one yard line with eight seconds left in the game and you can't quite punch it across like they're
01:35:21.540
going to wind up losing a very close race you know and once again it is a sign mcauliffe losing
01:35:27.160
is a sign that hillary clinton and the clinton's power is over way over absolutely way over their
01:35:36.180
influence is done they mcauliffe what is essentially a clinton that's how close yeah oh yeah to that
01:35:43.160
that legacy and again and he might actually be a clinton yeah this bill might have had sex with
01:35:50.580
somebody you know i don't know on the next episode on the next episode of the house of delegates
01:35:59.940
bill clinton has sex with a downstairs maid will that be terry mcauliffe find out in the next episode
01:36:17.560
it's hard to promote that joke because how do you spell it you know delegates no the last episode of
01:36:24.820
it's just difficult to so his so the clintons are absolutely over now which is which is another
01:36:36.820
i mean it's another reason for that it's another reason for that and i think that bill clinton i mean
01:36:46.980
uh barack obama also i mean he went out and he politicked hard but his message was this is all
01:36:56.560
bullcrap this is all made up stuff these white people are afraid of black people and nobody's
01:37:02.380
buying that nobody's buying that anymore yeah you know i think that's a real miscalculation
01:37:07.660
by the left and i i hope they continue to make it oh i do too because it is just it's so insulting
01:37:14.700
you know and i think there's an interesting thing here glenn between virginia and new jersey we
01:37:18.480
talked about virginia a lot in the lead up and obviously education was one of the most important
01:37:23.000
things but education isn't just crt and gender right it's also teachers unions telling your kids
01:37:30.560
they're not allowed to go to school correct it's the mask it's also a mask mask mandates it's now
01:37:35.180
relations yeah now it's your five to eleven year old having to get vaccinated vaccine mandates and
01:37:40.940
passports and all that stuff so all that stuff is is out there um and i think like when you look at
01:37:46.660
the new jersey situation which looks like it will move more to the right in pure points than even
01:37:54.040
virginia did i mean it was a it's a bluer state and you look at that and there was not crt was not a big
01:38:00.540
part of that election you know uh the gender stuff was not a big part of that election the covet stuff was
01:38:06.160
a big part of that election you know you look at murphy has the single highest or second highest um
01:38:12.540
he's even has a worse death rate in the in the state than andrew cuomo which is saying something
01:38:16.680
um and you know then you add on all of the businesses that were closed down they didn't
01:38:23.340
want kids going to school he's one of the worst with the mandates in the nation all of this came and and
01:38:30.300
hit new jersey business owners and you know regular citizens in the face over and over and over
01:38:36.140
and over and over again and you know that's it might be a bigger factor i think too a big part
01:38:42.740
of this is just how bad joe biden is yeah it's not you know there is a national there are some
01:38:49.680
there are some like i i think um i think winsome sears could be a superstar she could be as now this
01:38:57.640
is a great story i don't know that much about her yeah i don't either but she's got a great
01:39:01.560
great story and she's cool pictures of her yeah right yeah the gun which is very cool uh so she
01:39:07.760
is the new lieutenant governor uh in virginia she is also the first woman of color in the office of
01:39:15.880
the commonwealth's 400 year legislative history okay and she took on um she took on crt and she was
01:39:27.100
very very clear look we should learn good and bad about american history yeah yep 100 but we
01:39:34.400
what did how did she say it something along the lines of um but if you are coming in to a class
01:39:42.100
and you're trying to make one kid feel guilty for history and they're white black doesn't matter
01:39:49.860
that's not sustainable that's not a good plan so teach history as it actually happened leave all
01:39:57.700
the rest of it out yeah and what was amazing i was watching a little cnn last night so you don't have
01:40:03.080
to and you were the one it was your night it was my night over and over and over again they made the
01:40:10.880
point that this was just you know look youngkin um he just was using racist dog whistles uh he just
01:40:18.100
you know like when he was trying to ban these books they just happened to be with black authors
01:40:21.900
that absolutely this is this is crazy this is crazy um and you know this is a guy whose lieutenant
01:40:28.660
governor who's going all around the state was was was the was sears who was black the first black
01:40:34.340
woman to have statewide office his attorney general uh that he was running with is hispanic
01:40:39.560
all around the country honestly the only person who made sense and i didn't and i know he took
01:40:44.900
van jones as well well you're right van freaking jones i know i said he got in trouble for some of
01:40:51.040
the stuff he said last night but he said over and over again he said this this idea that we can win
01:40:56.280
elections meaning democrats can win elections by just saying we're not trump is dead tonight it's over
01:41:01.500
and he said over and over again that democrats come off as offensive to regular people they come off
01:41:11.780
as annoying to regular people and he's completely right and elitist and elitist i mean i think there's
01:41:20.700
something to be said when you are using the word latinx in your latinx or latinx you said let i think
01:41:27.380
it could be both is that i think it's latinx it could be latinx seems even worse somehow i've heard
01:41:33.600
them say latinx i've heard them say latinx i've heard them say latinx as well now latinx just sounds
01:41:39.360
like malcolm x yeah it's to me it's bad either way i don't but i mean i prefer my preferred pronoun
01:41:46.120
here is latinx latinx is better it seems more demeaning to democrats and it's more absurd
01:41:51.640
considering hispanics don't want you to say they don't want to say no latinx latinx they don't want
01:41:57.040
to say any of that uh and that's the point when you have these i think they are dog whistles for
01:42:05.800
white elitists when you say things that the average person is not saying that's a dog whistle
01:42:13.340
i'm better than you and people are not going to have any more of it i hope i hope all right now let's
01:42:22.380

01:46:38.620
conservative and you are against the things that this government is doing now we took a step towards
01:46:44.720
sanity a big big step uh towards sanity last night however let's remember that we still have the
01:46:51.300
biden administration in power uh which means i mean just what's happening in glasgow today which we'll
01:46:58.220
tell you about tomorrow uh that is going to affect every american citizen the things that they're doing
01:47:04.300
with energy is uh remarkable things they're not doing on the supply chain also remarkable uh and we're
01:47:12.960
going to have shortages and uh carol roth who is the author of the war on small business she's a former
01:47:19.820
investment banker she is cut from the same cloth i think that i am and she is she is looking at
01:47:27.820
uh what is coming and seeing some real problems uh and i wanted to get her on because we are entering
01:47:36.000
the holidays and i don't want people to hoard things but i do want you to be prepared and so i asked
01:47:42.780
carol to look into this and she joins us now hi carol how are you i'm doing well glenn is very well
01:47:48.680
said you know if you fail to prepare you prepare to fail it's a good old boy scout mantra isn't it
01:47:54.120
so the things that i mean we are we are going to be facing energy shortages i think uh and if it is
01:48:05.300
very very cold um i think we're going to see a repeat of what we had here in texas around the country
01:48:12.900
or we could um the things that people are saying right now the energy uh issue is one of the things
01:48:21.900
but also water and i don't understand the water issue why are people saying there's a water shortage
01:48:28.580
well i always like to follow the money i know it's something that you're very keen on
01:48:34.940
and if you look at what's been happening over the past several years you have really big pools of
01:48:42.360
money institutional investors hedge funds who have been buying up land that has water rights
01:48:49.380
associated with it and anytime you have institutional investors going to something that everyone thinks
01:48:56.820
is a commodity and buying it up that's forward thinking that maybe something's going on and with
01:49:02.860
population growth and obviously all the issues that we have just in terms of governments and their
01:49:09.320
mismanagement there are a lot of people who are very concerned both short-term and long-term about
01:49:16.620
water shortages so i think it's really imperative that everybody like you said you don't have to go
01:49:23.720
out and hoard and in fact costco won't let you do it they've already put a limit on it but every time
01:49:29.800
you go to the store purchase some extra water get to the point where you have at least a gallon a day
01:49:37.220
per person in your household for at least a month because this is an issue yeah yes because if this is
01:49:46.640
something that happens uh you're going to want to have that extra preparation and there could be a
01:49:51.920
short-term implication because of the supply chain but i am deeply concerned based on all of this
01:49:58.260
um you know investment that's been going on longer term so um i had a billionaire friend of mine say to
01:50:06.100
me oh 12 15 years ago glenn you gotta buy water yeah and i said why do i feel like i'm sitting here
01:50:16.440
with uh rockefeller in you know 1900 when he said buy oil uh and he said because it is it's going to be
01:50:25.520
as precious as oil is and he said but don't buy water don't buy water per se he said buy the things
01:50:36.080
that will help filter water invest in he said because otherwise if you are the water baron he said
01:50:45.020
you're going to be as unpopular as any of these oil people are now no it makes a lot of sense and so
01:50:52.520
that's another good backup thing that you can purchase you know for your own household is you
01:50:57.460
get a supply of water filters but you're right from an investment thesis standpoint if there are all
01:51:03.680
the kinds of technologies that are being developed um things for the desalinization of water and
01:51:09.520
whatnot so that's definitely something to consider you know who's really focused on this too um michael
01:51:15.200
burry if any of you watched the big short yes he was one of the first guys to call yes mortgage
01:51:21.220
crisis and that's where he's been investing as well so i don't understand where is the water
01:51:26.260
shortage coming from though i mean we've got water well we don't have as much um that's usable as
01:51:34.440
everybody thinks and well i mean places in california don't because they haven't built a reservoir since
01:51:40.080
1972 exactly exactly they haven't been investing in some of these uh arenas that uh are required in
01:51:47.600
order to make sure that you keep the water and we also have population growth um and you have to
01:51:53.660
remember it's not just the the major uh consumption of water individually but 70 percent of the water
01:52:00.660
that's used is for food which goes into sort of the the next issue is if you're going down the chain
01:52:06.300
you don't just want to have water you want to make sure that you have access to food and as you
01:52:10.440
mentioned with california california is a huge source and supplier of our food you know here in the u.s
01:52:17.060
as well as uh throughout the world and i'm really concerned because i just saw again yesterday a story
01:52:22.460
about bill gates buying up farmland saying that he's got these these little farms they're not going
01:52:28.980
to be sustainable and so he's helping by buying them all up super helpful don't you think oh super helpful
01:52:36.060
yeah so so also things that on your own land if you have the access to seeds and things where you
01:52:43.300
can also grow your own healthful food that's important as well as the perishables or the
01:52:49.980
non-perishables to be able to have a stock and supply of that so coming from you this rings differently i
01:52:55.920
mean i'm a prepper and been prepared for a while but you don't strike me as a prepper in the classic
01:53:03.200
sense of you know 2008 you were saying this yeah so i i would i would call myself like a like a mini
01:53:10.600
prepper so i i i'm always suspicious that there's something that's going on but i don't have an
01:53:16.660
underground bunker so i'm sort of somewhere in between the two but i do follow trends and i do
01:53:22.840
follow the money and um you know it's unfortunately it's a moral issue right things that um you are used
01:53:29.940
to sustain us water and food that these shouldn't be treated you know like investment commodities but
01:53:36.300
you know that's sort of the outgrowth of what's happened from all the terrible policy that we've
01:53:41.180
seen from the government and the fed the guy who services my car said hey i i bought some extra air
01:53:48.680
filters for your car and i was like thanks and he said no no there's a shortage coming of air filters
01:53:55.860
he said you want this and i'm like okay well thank you um but that not only is for air filters for your
01:54:03.460
car um if you have a problem with uh hvac uh or any of this stuff you you are going to have a hard
01:54:13.920
time you should get it checked now shouldn't you yeah i actually spoke to the head of maintenance of a
01:54:19.520
huge food service operation as well as some other experts and they are saying to have your hvac
01:54:25.380
system inspected now for any impending failures because one of the things that's happening in
01:54:31.300
terms of the supply chain we all know the supply chain is a mess but any parts that are coming out
01:54:36.160
the priority is being given to new products instead of to repair shops so repairs are you know kind of
01:54:43.700
down on the the food chain down on the totem pole so to speak in terms of getting things so have that
01:54:49.780
looked at have them look at coils that might be leaking refrigerants um things that are easy to
01:54:55.640
spot and you get get yourself in the queue now in a patch until you know those needed parts arrive
01:55:01.740
and if you have um an old refrigerator or if you have a refrigeration system that's necessary to store
01:55:09.580
something like life-saving medicine it probably makes sense to also invest in one of those mini
01:55:15.980
fridges you know the kind that you can get for a dorm or that you see in a hotel you know anything
01:55:20.880
that if you've got a life-saving issue um or you've got an appliance that's old like you want to get in
01:55:28.020
that queue now because you know think about we're headed for most of the country into really cold weather
01:55:33.220
um you you want to get out ahead of the curve for sure so medicine is one of those things that i don't
01:55:39.800
think we've learned our lesson on correct you know covid came and you know we all realized oh crap we
01:55:46.260
don't make our medicine here and i don't think anything's being done but how do you store up on
01:55:51.180
medicine so that's a really good question because it depends on you know if you have medicine that
01:55:58.300
you can only get via prescription um and that you know you're requiring to go through your insurance
01:56:04.000
i would say the number one thing that you can do is not wait until you're at the end of your
01:56:09.200
refill cycle so if you you are kind of in that cycle where every month you buy something and
01:56:15.420
they open it up for insurance on week three always week three go in for sure but to the extent that
01:56:22.760
you can ask for uh you know a larger um supply from your doctor go to your doctor say you're concerned
01:56:29.180
can you write me a prescription for a three-month supply or a four-month supply um you know and if you
01:56:35.080
have the financial wherewithal even if you have to pay for it out of pocket it's obviously worth that
01:56:40.760
extra expense to not be in a scenario where you go to your pharmacy and they're saying we're sorry
01:56:46.520
but like you know it's not just the medicine itself it's the compounds we couldn't get those compounds
01:56:51.260
because they were coming from china or you know whatever the reason is so anything that's important
01:56:58.160
to your life um that will you know especially if it it's life critical but anything that you know you
01:57:05.380
may um have an issue with if you don't have access to you can you don't need to hoard it but slowly
01:57:12.700
start building a backup um first aid kit batteries toothpaste whatever it is you want to make sure that
01:57:19.620
you have something because that supply chain is so disrupted not just for that end product but for
01:57:25.000
all the components that are going into is this going to affect turkeys and i mean i know we're
01:57:30.920
going to have problems with the supply chain for christmas or i hope we don't but likely we will
01:57:37.080
um how about the food for thanksgiving get your turkey now i just uh heard uh i was on a program
01:57:46.640
right after the ceo of butterball and especially if you want a smaller turkey um and we know the prices
01:57:53.480
of everything have gone through the roof for inflation so that big turkey may be you know
01:57:57.940
outside of the budget you know go get it now um put your name on a list if you have to or put it in
01:58:04.180
your freezer or whatnot but get that and then the other thing i will say and i know that you've been
01:58:08.340
very focused on this glenn is anything that comes in an aluminum can that has been a huge shortage so
01:58:15.920
if you want your beer or if you want your you know canned cranberry sauce that you just love that
01:58:21.400
comes in an aluminum can go get that now because that's another area that we have a shortage so i
01:58:27.900
heard that from a couple of sources and i couldn't verify and i was trying to look online i heard you
01:58:35.960
know go buy anything that you you like that are in cans correct because there's going to be a can
01:58:42.800
shortage you you verify that that is coming it's it's or it's already been happening and and there's
01:58:49.860
no um sort of sense it's going to get better and the reason is kind of funny there are all these
01:58:55.100
additional beverages that have come on the market like sparkling hard seltzer that are using up they
01:59:01.920
become very popular out of nowhere and they are using up part of that aluminum can supply and with
01:59:08.780
all the other issues that are going on the world that there's just a huge supply and demand imbalance
01:59:13.640
so all the people who are using aluminum for various products including can manufacturers are
01:59:19.300
having a hard time getting those aluminum cans i mean it is i i giggle because it's just so silly but
01:59:25.940
this is what happens when you're a central planner and you think you can turn on and off the economy
01:59:31.080
like you're power cycling a modem the rest of us have figured out you can't do this um and and now
01:59:36.640
we're paying the price for all of this literally so carol i don't have time this time but could i ask you
01:59:41.820
um to do some research for me i am concerned about energy and generators in california they've already
01:59:49.700
said no gasoline generators no nothing um and you know your power goes out how do you generate power
01:59:58.560
and i'm looking not just for today but what is going to be taxed out of or you know regulated out
02:00:07.500
of existence in the next three years um for power generation can you look into that and then we'll
02:00:14.440
have you back i absolutely would be happy love the homework yeah i'm sorry i'm so sorry better you
