The Glenn Beck Program - It's a Good Day for the GOP ｜ Guests： Jim Lentz & Carol Roth ｜ 11⧸3⧸21

00:00:00.000 We will not gloat today.

00:00:01.900 We will not gloat today.

00:00:03.940 No, no, no.

00:00:04.260 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.

00:00:14.880 You could get a mortgage.

00:00:17.380 You could probably, you know, get somebody on the phone that might gloat today.

00:00:23.760 But that won't be us.

00:00:25.100 Won't be us.

00:00:25.960 And you know what?

00:00:26.560 I doubt it would be American financing, too.

00:00:29.020 They would not be gloating today.

00:00:32.180 Anyway, American financing, 800-906-2440, Americanfinancing.net, Americanfinancing.net.

00:00:39.740 I want you to go there.

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.

00:01:36.720 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:45.100 Well, hello, America, you sick, twisted. 1.00

00:01:48.820 You know what?

00:01:49.480 I don't even want to start with that kind of an attitude.

00:01:51.280 I don't want to even...

00:01:53.580 There will be no gloating on today's broadcast.

00:01:56.400 None.

00:01:57.000 None whatsoever.

00:01:59.160 We are...

00:01:59.940 We are here just to tell you the facts and certainly not to gloat over what happened last night.

00:02:08.800 And so it won't happen on this program.

00:02:11.640 No, no, no.

00:02:12.160 I hear you.

00:02:13.140 You want it.

00:02:13.780 But I am not your trained little monkey that is just going to do another gloatfest.

00:02:20.480 No, it won't happen.

00:02:24.380 We begin in 60 seconds.

00:02:26.460 The Glenn Beck Program.

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,

00:02:51.440 you know, that's not a lot of fun.

00:02:53.420 You need somebody who is going to actually find the right house for you.

00:02:57.180 They're going to get the right deal for you.

00:02:59.560 It's a real estate agent that you can trust.

00:03:02.800 That's why I call my company realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:03:06.700 Oh, my gosh.

00:03:07.780 The name kind of says it all.

00:03:11.200 Realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:03:13.260 Go there.

00:03:14.240 Go there now.

00:03:16.440 Realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:03:18.380 No, no.

00:03:19.720 No, no.

00:03:20.860 No, Sarah.

00:03:21.900 No.

00:03:22.440 Stop right now.

00:03:23.520 No, we are not going to gloat, are we, Stu?

00:03:27.720 Of course not.

00:03:28.600 Of course not.

00:03:29.240 That would be.

00:03:31.200 It's all about sportsmanship in a moment like this.

00:03:34.220 Thank you.

00:03:34.880 Thank you.

00:03:35.780 You know, both sides fought a good game battle.

00:03:39.440 Yeah.

00:03:39.840 They both tried their hardest.

00:03:42.080 We're not.

00:03:42.860 Both sides should be respected.

00:03:45.160 Right.

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.

00:03:54.520 Right.

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.

00:04:07.720 Unfortunately, Pat just walked in.

00:04:10.860 Oh, hey, Pat.

00:04:11.680 And Pat has not made the promise, you know, to not gloat.

00:04:17.820 So, I'll wait.

00:04:19.920 I'll wait.

00:04:20.680 Start over.

00:04:21.520 Stop.

00:04:21.920 Just a second.

00:04:22.660 Stop.

00:04:22.800 Stop.

00:04:23.120 No, you're not going to do it either, huh?

00:04:25.680 No, you know, I haven't really made that promise, so I could, but I.

00:04:31.020 Okay.

00:04:31.680 You want to play it straight, too?

00:04:33.820 We want to.

00:04:34.440 Yes.

00:04:34.920 I mean, let's just go over some of this.

00:04:40.420 It looks like Terry McAuliffe has lost the state of Virginia.

00:04:48.480 So sad.

00:04:49.480 Oh, wait.

00:04:50.280 Oh, wait.

00:04:50.300 Oh, so.

00:04:51.160 Glenn Young can kick McAuliffe's ass.

00:04:53.620 Glenn Young can kick McAuliffe's ass.

00:04:56.420 It's a signal to President Dementia.

00:04:59.340 It's a sign to Pre-Dentia. 0.70

00:05:01.920 All right.

00:05:02.420 All right.

00:05:03.440 We're not going to do that.

00:05:06.080 We're not.

00:05:07.140 We're not going to do that.

00:05:08.580 Not doing that.

00:05:09.380 No.

00:05:09.480 No, we're not.

00:05:10.680 That's not.

00:05:12.700 That's for evil shows. 0.97

00:05:14.540 Yeah.

00:05:15.300 Patria-leashed.

00:05:16.400 It is.

00:05:16.840 Right.

00:05:17.380 It is a very evil show.

00:05:19.200 Yeah.

00:05:19.660 You're calling your own show evil?

00:05:21.220 It's evil.

00:05:21.760 Yeah.

00:05:22.220 Okay.

00:05:22.700 Yeah.

00:05:23.320 I mean, we could look at Winsome Sears, the conservative Republican who will be Virginia's next lieutenant

00:05:30.820 governor.

00:05:31.440 White supremacist.

00:05:32.300 Of course, she's a white supremacist. 1.00

00:05:34.580 Also, the first woman of color in the office of in their 400 year history of Virginia.

00:05:42.020 First one.

00:05:43.240 Wow.

00:05:43.660 Yeah.

00:05:44.420 Wow.

00:05:45.100 Amazing.

00:05:45.660 Yeah.

00:05:45.860 Yeah.

00:05:46.000 Didn't know that?

00:05:46.800 No.

00:05:47.280 Yeah.

00:05:47.740 And we will not gloat.

00:05:50.480 No.

00:05:50.940 About that.

00:05:54.420 All right.

00:06:05.780 That's wrong.

00:06:08.820 That's wrong.

00:06:09.240 It is.

00:06:10.060 So I'm glad you guys aren't doing that today because it shows a certain amount of maturity.

00:06:15.640 Thank you.

00:06:16.280 Well, we have grown as a show.

00:06:18.260 We have grown as a show.

00:06:20.420 So we got that going on.

00:06:22.940 And then New Jersey.

00:06:27.480 Too close to call.

00:06:28.980 Yeah.

00:06:29.420 Unfortunately.

00:06:30.280 He's behind now and it looks like they're stealing the election now in Jersey.

00:06:33.340 Is that what happens?

00:06:34.760 That's what it looks like.

00:06:36.180 They're not going to do that in Virginia.

00:06:37.800 They're only going to do it in New Jersey today.

00:06:40.640 Okay.

00:06:41.000 We can easily, you know.

00:06:42.740 Okay.

00:06:44.340 They've.

00:06:45.740 Why would this be on the air today?

00:06:48.000 What?

00:06:48.720 Why would we be listening to this of all things in the world?

00:06:52.360 Well, I want to give them fair shake.

00:06:54.400 I want to.

00:06:55.840 All right.

00:06:56.240 Would it be better if it was the Soviet national anthem?

00:06:58.860 Honestly, yes.

00:06:59.960 Okay.

00:07:00.480 The Soviet anthem is fantastic.

00:07:02.000 It's very stirring.

00:07:03.080 It's a great anthem.

00:07:04.360 So let's go ahead and, you know, give them the credit.

00:07:08.060 The credit is due.

00:07:09.240 It's.

00:07:10.220 Yeah.

00:07:10.760 Yeah.

00:07:11.280 Well, we don't know.

00:07:12.180 That one's still not over.

00:07:13.460 I mean.

00:07:13.960 I will say the outstanding vote is all in blue counties.

00:07:17.120 So it's going to be tough for them.

00:07:18.740 It's going to be really close.

00:07:20.500 I mean, Biden won that by 16.

00:07:23.580 Yeah.

00:07:24.140 And.

00:07:24.740 Yeah.

00:07:25.240 This is.

00:07:25.960 It's this close here.

00:07:27.460 Crazy.

00:07:28.240 Crazy.

00:07:28.900 Yeah.

00:07:29.640 Crazy.

00:07:30.040 I mean, I do not like this administration.

00:07:33.320 No.

00:07:33.620 And I think this is a clear signal.

00:07:35.360 I think.

00:07:37.220 Yeah, I think it is.

00:07:38.140 New Jersey.

00:07:38.600 Almost going right.

00:07:39.620 It's a pretty clear signal.

00:07:41.180 Wow.

00:07:41.760 I've missed that.

00:07:43.280 I have missed that.

00:07:45.140 I didn't.

00:07:46.080 No wonder you're not gloating.

00:07:47.380 Well, well, I did.

00:07:49.200 I have to find this.

00:07:50.180 You ready for this one?

00:07:50.980 I love this account.

00:07:52.540 This is from New York magazine.

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.

00:08:09.060 They find it.

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

00:08:23.520 priority to have an opinion.

00:08:25.160 So what is what's happening?

00:08:27.540 They say the party has just lost Virginia.

00:08:32.560 A state went for Biden for 10 points.

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.

00:08:53.500 Yes.

00:08:53.880 Oh, my.

00:08:54.340 Yeah.

00:08:54.820 Yeah.

00:08:55.440 The media is so against.

00:08:57.460 Yeah.

00:08:58.080 Democrats.

00:08:59.280 That's what's happening.

00:09:00.720 Keep you.

00:09:01.740 Yes.

00:09:02.220 Yes.

00:09:02.620 Democrats.

00:09:03.280 That's what it was.

00:09:04.600 It is.

00:09:05.080 The media is so against you.

00:09:06.560 If you just keep doing the things you're doing.

00:09:09.000 Right.

00:09:09.340 This is going to work out for you in the end.

00:09:11.020 OK, so listen, they're saying that this this is backed up by two political and economic

00:09:18.520 developments that that make this make sense.

00:09:23.380 One, by many reasonable metrics, the political and economic situation is fairly good.

00:09:30.820 Yes.

00:09:31.600 Right.

00:09:31.880 You should continue what you're doing.

00:09:34.320 Right.

00:09:34.700 Right.

00:09:35.260 It's fairly good when you look at that.

00:09:37.660 The media environment.

00:09:39.420 You ready?

00:09:39.700 Two, the media environment is structurally biased against Democrats.

00:09:45.900 What?

00:09:47.980 Due to the right wing media's strength.

00:09:52.780 Unbelievable.

00:09:53.380 And the mainstream media's tendency to drive down approval of the in party power.

00:09:58.280 Who wrote that?

00:10:00.200 Some socialist, I'm sure.

00:10:02.340 Oh, my God.

00:10:02.860 I mean, is this crazy?

00:10:04.180 That's unreal.

00:10:05.160 So they're saying that because people don't know the truth because of the mainstream media

00:10:14.400 is being driven by the Republicans.

00:10:19.380 Yeah.

00:10:20.160 Oh, I mean, can you not that you're totally out of touch with the everyday person?

00:10:24.820 No.

00:10:25.200 It's that the media isn't on your side enough.

00:10:28.580 Exactly right.

00:10:29.320 That's the lesson you should take from this.

00:10:31.440 When you look at the ratings of the left on, you know, MSNBC and CNN, it is true now.

00:10:40.200 Nobody believes them.

00:10:42.820 Nobody believes them.

00:10:44.540 Look how hard they work to say CRT isn't true.

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.

00:10:57.540 Right.

00:10:58.340 Right.

00:10:58.780 Look at how they're claiming that, you know, the situation in the country, he's added more

00:11:05.500 jobs than any president ever.

00:11:08.080 Well, yeah, because no one was working when he was elected.

00:11:12.160 So dumb.

00:11:12.700 No one was working.

00:11:14.240 It's a pandemic, guys.

00:11:15.500 Right.

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.

00:11:23.180 Listen to this.

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

00:11:35.640 all.

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.

00:11:56.660 Yes.

00:11:57.120 Those poor babies. 0.52

00:11:58.200 They did.

00:11:58.480 What did they do wrong there?

00:12:00.120 What?

00:12:00.440 What?

00:12:00.680 I don't know.

00:12:01.680 I mean, Jen Psaki told us nothing went wrong.

00:12:04.940 Exactly right.

00:12:05.780 It could not be seen as anything other than a success.

00:12:08.880 And yet the media did that.

00:12:10.300 He couldn't have thought.

00:12:11.580 Biden said he couldn't have thought of a way it could have gone any better.

00:12:14.320 It's never gone any better.

00:12:15.460 Every war ends that way.

00:12:17.480 Yes.

00:12:17.720 Have you ever seen a war occur?

00:12:19.760 It always ends the same way.

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.

00:12:27.500 Yeah.

00:12:28.000 That's what you do.

00:12:28.740 Yes.

00:12:28.980 You give them all the fancy equipment, all the stuff that they've been trying to get

00:12:32.120 all this time.

00:12:32.480 Do you remember in 1946 with the Nazi resurgence in Germany?

00:12:36.620 Yes.

00:12:37.020 It was crazy.

00:12:38.340 They all came back in and took over again.

00:12:41.100 Yeah.

00:12:41.540 Oh, wait.

00:12:42.320 So.

00:12:43.760 Wait a minute.

00:12:44.640 So here's MSNBC last night.

00:12:47.540 They had a full meltdown.

00:12:49.860 I want to play this.

00:12:51.420 And if everyone but.

00:12:53.620 Well, Stu and Pat can keep your headphones on.

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.

00:13:10.000 Here it is.

00:13:10.920 Listen.

00:13:11.480 I think we know the answer to some of this.

00:13:13.520 I watched Glenn Youngkin's interviews on Fox News and he did nothing that he did not.

00:13:18.100 This is the anchor, by the way.

00:13:19.700 He worshipped at the altar of Donald Trump on Fox News.

00:13:22.400 He flew an insurrection flag at his rallies.

00:13:25.100 He simply didn't.

00:13:26.420 He played dumb about a Zoom rally. 0.94

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.

00:13:39.780 Keep doing this.

00:13:40.780 I think that the real ominous thing is that critical race theory, which isn't real, is the suburbs.

00:13:50.620 Wow.

00:13:50.880 15 points to the Trump insurrection endorsed Republican.

00:13:57.240 What do Democrats do about that? 0.97

00:13:59.600 Great question.

00:14:00.780 Great question.

00:14:01.620 And really balanced.

00:14:02.660 Yeah.

00:14:03.020 You know, that's a fascinating one.

00:14:04.620 They should continue down this same road for the 2022 election.

00:14:08.580 Can I tell you something?

00:14:09.460 It's working, guys.

00:14:10.360 It scares me.

00:14:11.760 It scares me.

00:14:12.820 I mean, yes, it scares me, too.

00:14:15.000 I mean, Democrats might win all the races.

00:14:18.040 Oh, it goes so well for them next year.

00:14:19.600 Yeah.

00:14:20.060 They need this strategy.

00:14:21.280 They really do.

00:14:21.940 I hope they don't continue to do that.

00:14:24.480 That's exactly what they're going to do.

00:14:26.020 I like that.

00:14:26.400 They never learn because they are in a bubble.

00:14:32.320 They live in this place where everyone agrees with them.

00:14:37.520 Every single person agrees with them.

00:14:39.480 And so they don't change.

00:14:41.520 They don't learn.

00:14:42.560 They didn't learn in 2016.

00:14:45.780 They don't learn now.

00:14:47.880 And people aren't.

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.

00:14:59.680 It's not even like they're Democrat.

00:15:01.780 That's that's their Republican.

00:15:03.740 Wow.

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.

00:15:18.240 It's not even real at all.

00:15:19.880 What are they doing with their time?

00:15:22.400 I don't know.

00:15:22.980 It's not as real as the insurrection flag.

00:15:25.360 Oh, yeah.

00:15:25.880 No, you do that.

00:15:27.640 He flags that everywhere he goes.

00:15:28.960 Hang on just a second.

00:15:29.840 I just need to take a break for this.

00:15:31.920 It's a sign to President Dementia.

00:15:49.300 What's the last part?

00:15:53.560 Well, you missed it because we won't be doing that again.

00:15:56.380 No.

00:15:56.960 That would be terrible.

00:15:58.080 We're telling you today what not to do in your life.

00:16:02.840 That's exactly.

00:16:04.000 We are gloating here so that you understand that's bad to do.

00:16:08.000 No.

00:16:08.640 Bad.

00:16:08.960 Don't do that today.

00:16:09.780 Maybe that's what MSNBC is doing. 0.99

00:16:12.880 Maybe.

00:16:15.540 Go away.

00:16:17.360 Let me tell you about Relief Factor.

00:16:22.760 Imagine waking up in the morning and bouncing out of bed ready to face the day and anything

00:16:27.860 that the day has to offer.

00:16:29.780 By the way, I saw the Rolling Stones last night here in Dallas.

00:16:34.140 Really?

00:16:36.000 Yeah.

00:16:36.500 You didn't know they were in town?

00:16:37.680 No.

00:16:38.440 Yeah.

00:16:38.780 Yeah.

00:16:39.260 I wish I would have told you.

00:16:40.560 Yeah.

00:16:40.820 I wish I would have too.

00:16:41.660 Yeah.

00:16:42.040 I was looking for people to go.

00:16:43.680 No.

00:16:44.100 Really?

00:16:44.680 Were you dumping tickets?

00:16:46.140 Dumping tickets.

00:16:47.000 No.

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?

00:16:53.860 My son, 17.

00:16:55.280 And he said, paint it black.

00:16:58.160 And I'm like, you're a fan of the Rolling Stones?

00:17:01.400 Wow.

00:17:02.360 And it was a surprisingly young crowd.

00:17:05.080 I mean, I went to ELO, CELO, and it was like, no more, no more, no more.

00:17:09.200 They were good, though.

00:17:10.060 They were great.

00:17:10.980 But it was an older audience.

00:17:12.520 Yeah.

00:17:13.100 This was a shocking young audience.

00:17:16.500 Shocking.

00:17:17.980 He's, how old do you think he is?

00:17:19.580 What, Mick?

00:17:20.740 Yeah.

00:17:21.620 I think Jagger's 77?

00:17:24.320 79.

00:17:25.160 79.

00:17:25.860 79.

00:17:26.820 And he sounds exactly the same.

00:17:30.420 He's, I mean, he's in incredible shape.

00:17:34.140 Everybody else is like, no more, no more, no more, no more.

00:17:39.080 But.

00:17:40.220 It was good?

00:17:42.080 Unbelievable.

00:17:42.900 Yeah.

00:17:43.260 Unbelievable.

00:17:43.780 I need a little relief factor.

00:17:46.580 He's probably, he was probably with some 20-year-old last night.

00:17:51.860 Anyway, relief factor.

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.

00:18:03.640 It's relieffactor.com.

00:18:05.580 That's relieffactor.com.

00:18:07.120 It's not a drug.

00:18:08.400 It's, it reduces inflammation.

00:18:10.360 Hits you in three different ways.

00:18:12.700 It was developed by doctors.

00:18:14.640 Try it for three weeks.

00:18:16.060 See if it works for you.

00:18:17.060 It's worked for me.

00:18:17.980 I've got my life back.

00:18:19.420 Relieffactor.com.

00:18:20.460 800-500-8384.

00:18:23.240 Relieffactor.com.

00:18:24.320 800-500-8384.

00:18:27.060 10 seconds.

00:18:27.900 Station ID.

00:18:34.460 Wow.

00:18:34.860 Wow.

00:18:37.120 Well, let's look at the school boards.

00:18:41.580 School boards around the country.

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.

00:19:22.120 Of course, it's complete nonsense.

00:19:23.920 Unbelievable.

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.

00:19:35.600 Yeah.

00:19:35.900 The lyrics from a rap song.

00:19:37.720 Yeah.

00:19:37.860 It's completely ridiculous.

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.

00:19:48.800 And the guy to see race.

00:19:50.960 They're super racist.

00:19:52.600 The guy who won.

00:19:54.560 Yeah.

00:19:54.980 Yesterday for the school board to turn the school board.

00:19:58.080 Yes.

00:19:58.340 It is an NBC sales executive.

00:20:01.880 He actually works so great for NBC.

00:20:05.340 Well, that's so great.

00:20:06.960 That is so great.

00:20:09.700 I don't think he works for them now.

00:20:11.580 He might not after today.

00:20:14.120 Three challengers who oppose school COVID masks mandates defeated incumbents in Iowa on the Johnson school board.

00:20:23.480 They were backed by 1776 action.

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.

00:21:13.220 So that CRT thing.

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.

00:21:29.800 Well, I mean, something.

00:21:32.380 It'll be something else.

00:21:34.140 Voters opposed the amendment by a 12-point margin.

00:21:40.180 Remarkable.

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.

00:21:48.560 Correct.

00:21:49.660 Correct.

00:21:50.920 Also, Buffalo, New York.

00:21:53.100 This one's amazing.

00:21:53.780 The mayoral candidate and Democratic Socialist, India Walton, appears to have lost her race with an unusual write-in candidate.

00:22:06.180 Yeah.

00:22:07.100 A mayor.

00:22:08.540 Mayor Byron Brown.

00:22:09.160 The mayor, yeah.

00:22:09.940 The mayor lost the primary and then decided to try to run as an independent.

00:22:13.680 Couldn't get on the ballot.

00:22:14.480 Then said, all right, I'll run as a write-in candidate and beat the Democratic Socialist.

00:22:19.680 Wow.

00:22:20.100 As a write-in candidate.

00:22:21.840 Yeah.

00:22:22.140 That's pretty remarkable.

00:22:23.040 She was self-avowed socialist.

00:22:24.920 Yeah, Democratic Socialist.

00:22:25.940 And AOC went up.

00:22:28.120 All of the big, you know, Chuck Schumer, everybody big was up there campaigning for her.

00:22:33.720 And a write-in candidate.

00:22:35.720 A write-in candidate won.

00:22:44.940 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:22:47.560 Wait until you hear what happened in Seattle.

00:22:49.560 I don't think it was a good night for Democrats and progressives.

00:22:53.380 No.

00:22:54.480 All right.

00:22:55.120 Thanksgiving.

00:22:56.020 There is nothing better than being surrounded by family and friends who have made food.

00:23:03.140 I mean, amazing food and desserts.

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.

00:23:15.020 You have to work on it.

00:23:15.960 And that's why I have Bilt Bars.

00:23:18.420 One slice of pie, 300 plus calories.

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.

00:23:49.280 Bilt.com.

00:24:04.740 It's available as well on Blaze TV.

00:24:06.920 BlazeTV.com slash Glenn.

00:24:17.080 From selenazito.com is the one and only Selenazito.

00:24:22.320 Welcome to the program, Selenazito.

00:24:24.220 How are you?

00:24:25.880 Good morning, Ben.

00:24:26.760 You, uh, looks like you, uh, called it again.

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.

00:24:53.800 Listen to what they're talking about.

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.

00:25:45.460 I mean, that's fantastic.

00:25:49.300 What a great story.

00:25:51.240 His name is Edward Durr.

00:25:54.080 Yeah, absolutely.

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.

00:28:08.040 And that's sort of what people miss.

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.

00:28:21.720 Were you familiar with that?

00:28:23.140 Yes.

00:28:23.800 Yes.

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.

00:28:50.760 They're not supposed to be ideologues.

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.

00:29:16.000 I mean, people just get tired of that.

00:29:19.020 So the, is this a rejection?

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.

00:29:42.240 They have their own language.

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.

00:29:52.760 I didn't even know how you said it.

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.

00:30:01.620 It doesn't, it sound like Tony Soprano.

00:30:03.260 Hey, I got a Latinx over here, you know?

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?

00:30:30.560 What is the, what does it say?

00:30:32.620 Let's start here.

00:30:33.300 What does it say about Joe Biden?

00:30:35.840 Anything?

00:30:36.780 Here?

00:30:37.460 Yes.

00:30:37.980 Here's the, if you want one word to describe this election cycle, I would use the word overreach.

00:30:44.000 And, and it is an overreach on policy.

00:30:47.700 It's an overreach on elitism.

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.

00:31:03.660 Everything is about overreach.

00:31:05.740 Same.

00:31:05.960 And I would add on overreach on COVID, overreach on mandates, overreach on, on everything.

00:31:14.960 Yeah.

00:31:15.500 It's overreach.

00:31:16.680 That is the best word.

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.

00:31:49.260 Yes.

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.

00:32:27.980 I'm like, no, no voter wanted that.

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.

00:32:39.580 That's what voters want.

00:32:40.700 And also to keep their water clean.

00:32:42.340 They do not want social engineering and, and, and, and environmental justice and criminal justice and free everything.

00:32:50.800 Voters never voted for that.

00:32:53.460 Okay.

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.

00:33:11.980 Wilson went crazy and overreach like crazy.

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.

00:33:45.400 Are, are they going to go stronger?

00:33:47.980 Are they going to cloak themselves?

00:33:50.140 What do you think's coming?

00:33:51.540 Um, they're too arrogant to cloak themselves.

00:33:54.640 Yeah.

00:33:54.900 They do not believe that they are at fault for this happening.

00:33:58.400 They do believe the voters are stupid.

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.

00:34:17.800 So they're just going to double down.

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.

00:34:31.440 People don't want their lives fixed.

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.

00:34:48.480 And even they also want to learn how to fail.

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.

00:35:11.020 And that everybody else is stupid.

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.

00:35:58.740 Here's what people missed in 2020.

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.

00:37:06.060 I did want us to be out of Afghanistan. 1.00

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.

00:37:25.380 All right.

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.

00:37:52.840 And I think that's the end of that.

00:37:57.120 That is, that's huge.

00:37:59.020 That is huge.

00:39:56.280 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:40:00.780 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

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.

00:40:10.740 He is the former CEO of Toyota North America.

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

00:40:52.080 just boggled my mind.

00:40:54.080 Um, I understood it, but holy cow, it is much more than anybody really thinks.

00:41:00.300 He's coming in in just a few minutes.

00:41:01.880 There's also continued updates on what is happening with last night's election.

00:41:06.520 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:41:08.500 Thank you so much.

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.

00:41:25.460 Doing it online is a real nightmare.

00:41:27.060 This is where the zebra comes in the zebra.com.

00:41:31.480 You can compare car and home quotes from every major insurance company in under five minutes,

00:41:37.200 giving you all the facts you need to make the right decision.

00:41:40.580 It's the fastest way to find the right coverage at the right price.

00:41:44.200 The, the zebra actually saves the average American $922 a year on home and auto combined.

00:41:59.760 That's 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

00:42:08.220 to go into one of the main issues.

00:42:09.880 And that is the economy, uh, with a guy who has given me an entirely new perspective on

00:42:17.000 the supply chain.

00:42:18.280 Next.

00:42:25.200 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:42:45.140 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:42:52.620 I will tell you right now.

00:42:53.980 The one thing we are not going to do is gloat.

00:42:58.160 We're not right.

00:42:59.600 Still, we are absolutely not.

00:43:01.600 That would be wrong.

00:43:02.320 We are definitely not gloating today.

00:43:04.340 We're above that.

00:43:05.160 Yeah.

00:43:05.380 The program begins in 60 seconds.

00:43:15.200 I've got a guy in that you're going to love.

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

00:43:34.260 get this back?

00:43:35.380 That's coming up in 60 seconds.

00:43:36.820 First, let me tell you about autumn.

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.

00:43:47.600 I read from them to my six kids, six kids.

00:43:52.920 You know what's causing that, Autumn, right?

00:43:54.920 I think they do.

00:43:55.620 Really?

00:43:56.200 Okay.

00:43:56.560 Anyway, six kids.

00:43:57.560 She says, I'm homeschooling six kids.

00:44:01.200 You are a saint.

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

00:44:12.180 and the law at a much deeper level.

00:44:14.440 So, listen, waking America up from its slumber, reminding ourselves of who we are starts with

00:44:20.740 our kids.

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.

00:44:46.320 Tuttle Twins books.

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.

00:44:54.820 It's a big discount.

00:44:55.920 Just go to TuttleTwinsBeck.com.

00:44:58.800 That's TuttleTwinsBeck.com.

00:45:01.860 Get the discount.

00:45:03.180 Keep your kids sane in this socialist world.

00:45:05.980 TuttleTwinsBeck.com.

00:45:07.220 Before we go and introduce you to Jim Lentz, I want to get a quick update from Stu on,

00:45:15.620 and again, hey, they fought a good battle.

00:45:19.800 Let's not cry.

00:45:20.500 Hey, we're all in this together, guys.

00:45:21.760 We're in this together.

00:45:22.860 So, okay.

00:45:23.360 All right.

00:45:24.400 So, here are some of the results from last night.

00:45:26.520 So, Glenn Youngkin is the big news.

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.

00:45:43.020 And it couldn't happen to a better guy.

00:45:44.720 It really couldn't.

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.

00:45:54.560 I'll cover that coming up next hour.

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

00:46:13.420 of Boston, who's an Elizabeth Warren clone.

00:46:15.900 She wins there.

00:46:17.620 But they were falling apart.

00:46:19.340 Conservative.

00:46:20.240 I can't say conservative.

00:46:22.220 People who are more normal and more conservative, if you can use that word, in San Francisco were

00:46:30.300 winning last night.

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.

00:46:42.500 Yep.

00:46:43.020 It's big, big, big.

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

00:47:01.660 like that.

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.

00:47:11.060 It's very, very close as we speak.

00:47:14.160 The governor race there, Biden won New Jersey by 16 points.

00:47:18.280 Currently, it's 49.66% to 49.60%.

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

00:47:29.740 outstanding are largely in blue counties.

00:47:32.200 And I would expect Murphy to hold on to this, though it's going to be very, very close.

00:47:36.760 Which is itself an earthquake.

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

00:47:52.660 for Joe Biden all played a role.

00:47:55.580 But one of the big things that everyone was talking about across the country as they were

00:48:00.260 coming out of the polls was the economy.

00:48:04.080 And the supply chain is really hard to understand.

00:48:08.460 I was having dinner with a friend, Jim Lentz.

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.

00:48:22.380 Okay.

00:48:22.680 So he was the CEO for Toyota Motor Corporation of North America and the chief operating officer

00:48:29.120 of the parent company in Japan.

00:48:30.960 And he is, he was, he was there for all of the big things, including the move from California

00:48:38.980 to Texas, Plano, Texas.

00:48:41.800 And also you were there for the big earthquake.

00:48:44.440 Yes.

00:48:45.140 In Japan, which I think would play a little bit of a role that you could learn from now

00:48:51.580 on supply chain issues.

00:48:52.940 Oh, very much so.

00:48:53.600 Very much so.

00:48:54.380 Okay.

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?

00:49:04.060 Sure.

00:49:04.280 So the biggest thing to understand is supply chain is a system and there are a lot of different

00:49:09.760 components to it.

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?

00:50:16.800 Right.

00:50:16.900 And can you explain how sophisticated the supply chain is for fact, for factories like Toyota?

00:50:23.760 Yeah.

00:50:24.200 Well, you know, so literally the, the Japanese kind of invented just in time and just in time 0.96

00:50:30.820 means when I build a vehicle in my plant, literally the part that goes on that truck may only arrive

00:50:37.600 hours before production.

00:50:39.360 In fact, our plant here in Texas that builds the Tundra, we actually have suppliers on site,

00:50:45.320 the seat supplier.

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

00:50:59.100 line.

00:50:59.700 And I think the biggest thing as a result of all this, lean manufacturing was created to

00:51:04.480 take waste out of the system.

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

00:51:22.000 seats, but that was just it.

00:51:23.920 That's right.

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,

00:51:42.520 is that the best way to go?

00:51:44.500 Or are we going to need to go backwards a little bit, create more warehousing.

00:51:49.100 So we don't have these big glitches.

00:51:51.560 It's going to be interesting to see how this gets fixed because there's, there's an old

00:51:56.380 adage in the car business.

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.

00:52:29.720 They say there's not a shortage of trucks.

00:52:32.780 There's a shortage of place to put stuff.

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.

00:52:45.840 They're not getting paid to wait.

00:52:47.960 So what is the problem?

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

00:53:00.400 the port and observe exactly what's happening.

00:53:03.980 Where, where are the bottlenecks?

00:53:05.840 Is the bottleneck trucks coming into the port?

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?

00:53:16.080 Uh, I mean, there are so many issues.

00:53:17.900 And if you look at Long Beach as an example, um, they've been processing roughly 18,000 containers

00:53:24.400 a day.

00:53:25.280 Jeez.

00:53:26.100 There are 29,000 containers a day arriving.

00:53:29.740 Oh my gosh.

00:53:30.920 And, and, you know, as I started to research this for your show today, you can go back to

00:53:36.140 March and there was a huge backlog in March.

00:53:38.860 So this didn't just take place last month.

00:53:42.220 This has been going on for some time.

00:53:44.840 And nobody did anything.

00:53:46.200 No.

00:53:46.260 And there, there are, there are 540,000 containers sitting on ships waiting to be processed.

00:53:52.600 Oh my gosh.

00:53:53.700 So, so only 18,000 being 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

00:54:29.040 railhead.

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?

00:54:36.880 You're not going to have the warehouse space.

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

00:54:43.060 have it in the back room?

00:54:44.220 There isn't a back room, right?

00:54:46.200 So, so this, that's why like our supermarkets.

00:54:49.240 Are, are restocked.

00:54:52.040 Like, what is it?

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.

00:55:01.840 Yeah.

00:55:02.080 I mean, it happens at our plants.

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 0.83

00:55:24.080 ends.

00:55:24.640 Yeah.

00:55:25.100 And a lot of the stuff in these 540,000 containers are not going to be used right away.

00:55:31.440 It, right, right, right.

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

00:55:44.180 as well.

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.

00:55:57.120 Because nothing is coming back to them.

00:55:59.080 Right, right.

00:55:59.680 So at some point in time, you're going to have this glut sitting over there ready to come

00:56:05.160 back.

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.

00:56:21.180 Right.

00:56:21.740 So until you can improve the efficiency and that's, that takes someone to sit down and

00:56:27.000 actually observe what happens.

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

00:56:40.320 are we wasting time?

00:56:41.480 How can, how can we change something to improve the safety or improve the efficiency of what

00:56:47.200 we do?

00:56:47.920 And it may just be something that saves two or three seconds, but it makes a huge difference

00:56:53.700 over time.

00:56:54.300 That same type of thought process has to go into fixing a complex problem.

00:57:00.200 So was this doomed to fail from the beginning?

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.

00:57:24.300 Strategic, you know, uh, defense reasons.

00:57:27.320 Right.

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

00:57:37.720 believe they were up 25 or 30% even last year.

00:57:41.860 And this year they're up another 20 or 30%.

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.

00:58:06.140 Um, 50% of all the chips come out of Taiwan.

00:58:10.520 I need you to listen to this.

00:58:13.080 50% of all chips come out of Taiwan.

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? 0.65

00:58:33.200 Yeah.

00:58:33.480 Yeah.

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. 0.99

00:58:44.600 Um, yeah, yeah.

00:58:46.180 And the difficulty is it takes a long time to build one of these plants and they're very

00:58:51.180 capital intensive.

00:58:52.460 You know, a new chip plant today is 15 to $20 billion to build.

00:58:57.160 So you can't exactly change that overnight.

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

00:59:12.540 the financial, uh, uh, strategy of our system.

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?

00:59:27.120 Can we, can we redesign our ports instead?

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. 0.97

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.

01:00:12.100 Thank you so much, Debra.

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

01:00:23.760 of your pain.

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.

01:00:32.020 It has given me my life back.

01:00:34.000 And so many of our listeners try it now.

01:00:37.100 Relieffactor.com.

01:00:38.400 Try the three week quick start for 1995.

01:00:41.160 It's relieffactor.com.

01:00:42.760 800-500-8384.

01:00:46.000 Relieffactor.com.

01:00:47.420 10 seconds.

01:00:48.100 Station ID.

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

01:01:15.980 to build chip plants in the U S.

01:01:18.800 There is money in there.

01:01:19.780 Yeah.

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.

01:01:28.460 I'll say garbage.

01:01:29.400 You don't have to say garbage.

01:01:30.980 Yeah.

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?

01:01:47.100 Yeah.

01:01:47.460 No.

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?

01:01:56.060 Do you have any idea?

01:01:56.960 Well, you know, I, I can speak primarily of the car industry.

01:01:59.740 Yeah.

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.

01:02:31.680 Yeah.

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.

01:03:12.280 They don't have the parts.

01:03:13.280 Yeah.

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.

01:03:30.140 Uh, you have a problem with your car.

01:03:31.680 You've, uh, your cruise control goes out and you need a new component.

01:03:35.700 Uh, it may take quite a while to get it.

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

01:03:48.000 chain and the coming economy.

01:03:50.080 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:03:55.500 Also, we give you an update and I have a lot more to say about, uh, last night's election

01:04:00.280 coming up on the program.

01:04:01.920 And we'll have another update on, uh, who won, who lost yesterday.

01:04:05.620 Really good news.

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. 0.99

01:04:26.920 I don't even know what that means quite honestly.

01:04:29.660 Um, but that just goes to reinforce.

01:04:32.240 I don't want to do business with AT and T.

01:04:34.460 I don't want to do business with people who are funding planned parenthood like Verizon

01:04:39.020 is.

01:04:39.400 I would rather because I can get the same great service and I can get it at half the

01:04:44.640 cost.

01:04:45.140 I can get that from Patriot mobile, a company that is not, uh, let me put it this way.

01:04:51.820 A company that is reflecting my values.

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.

01:05:03.080 And I can be for them because they're for me.

01:05:08.000 Go there now.

01:05:25.120 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

01:05:27.080 We're very glad that you're here today.

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.

01:05:36.620 Um, all the way from, uh,

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.

01:06:29.460 But some in Congress have a different idea.

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?

01:07:27.980 I mean, do you know the balance?

01:07:29.380 I don't know the numbers at 50 50 or any idea.

01:07:33.040 There's probably a greater percentage non-union in this country.

01:07:37.000 So that's crazy.

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.

01:07:48.200 That's a huge number to hit.

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.

01:08:07.600 That's huge.

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.

01:08:16.600 Um, it's, it's not fair to that worker.

01:08:18.580 I mean, what are you telling that worker that is, is a great American worker that builds vehicles?

01:08:24.020 You're telling him he's not worth as much.

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.

01:08:43.800 And what are you telling the taxpayer?

01:08:46.500 Because these aren't the government's dollars.

01:08:48.940 These are taxpayer dollars.

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.

01:09:03.840 So the, the, the, I agree with you.

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.

01:10:09.660 And that stops innovation.

01:10:11.440 It does.

01:10:12.340 And, and the government isn't good at picking winners and losers. 0.99

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.

01:10:54.320 Average age is about 12 years.

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.

01:11:16.300 So what are they going to do?

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.

01:12:14.100 Are we not?

01:12:14.780 Yeah.

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.

01:12:33.020 And, and that's the biggest fear.

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.

01:12:46.420 There, there are challenges with batteries.

01:12:48.220 People today, 75, almost 80% of what people are buying today are pickup trucks and SUVs.

01:12:54.960 They're bigger vehicles.

01:12:56.940 Those take enormous batteries because of their weight to move.

01:13:01.400 It's just not an efficient way to do things.

01:13:03.540 And this is E equals MC square.

01:13:04.840 The bigger the battery, the more power you need to move it.

01:13:08.820 Because of the weight.

01:13:09.920 Right.

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.

01:13:34.740 How are they plugging their car in?

01:13:37.320 It's, it's, it's a huge challenge.

01:13:39.120 It's a huge challenge.

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.

01:13:53.740 That's, that's ridiculous.

01:13:55.540 I like to drive across the country.

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.

01:14:06.560 Yeah.

01:14:06.680 That's not reasonable.

01:14:07.840 Yeah.

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.

01:14:41.080 That's it.

01:14:42.160 You know, it doesn't work that way.

01:14:44.780 Yeah.

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.

01:15:31.600 Yeah.

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.

01:16:00.900 We think we're part of the fabric of America.

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.

01:16:36.240 And that's just, that's a recipe for disaster.

01:16:39.280 Yeah.

01:16:39.340 And especially on the EV side.

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.

01:16:56.480 Right.

01:16:56.780 And it just, Elon Musk is crazy about this.

01:16:59.520 He's been going nuts.

01:17:00.080 Yeah.

01:17:00.560 Yeah.

01:17:01.140 Jim, thank you so much.

01:17:02.260 You're very welcome.

01:17:02.520 I really appreciate it.

01:17:03.400 This is Jim Lentz, former CEO, Toyota North America, COO of Toyota Motor Corporation in Japan.

01:17:11.600 I hope to have you on again.

01:17:12.940 You're a fascinating guy.

01:17:13.980 Thank you so much, Jim Lentz.

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.

01:17:32.540 You could be saving money.

01:17:34.320 Now, where can you save money?

01:17:36.400 You know, you want to improve your financial status.

01:17:38.740 You have to do one of two things.

01:17:39.840 You got to get a better job or more jobs.

01:17:42.380 Or you have to save money.

01:17:44.340 Well, do both.

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.

01:17:53.720 And please lock the interest rate in.

01:17:56.600 The interest rate has to come up.

01:17:58.760 It just has to come up if we're going to stop inflation.

01:18:01.480 American Financing can help you.

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.

01:18:18.660 I think you got a pretty good deal.

01:18:20.540 American Financing.

01:18:39.680 You are listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:18:42.460 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:18:46.520 So just how bad was the defeat of the left?

01:18:51.880 I think you only have to go to New York City.

01:18:56.320 And while this guy's not a conservative, he's a former cop.

01:19:03.300 Who's against defund the police, obviously.

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.

01:19:17.940 That's remarkable.

01:19:19.700 It really is.

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.

01:19:57.280 Yeah, I know.

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.

01:20:07.160 It is.

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.

01:20:51.780 The useless debates that are going on.

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.

01:21:13.760 Rodney Scott.

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.

01:21:26.200 And that time is tonight.

01:21:29.200 Join us tonight.

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.

01:22:10.700 No.

01:22:11.300 That's you.

01:22:12.740 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:22:14.620 Okay.

01:22:15.440 Thank you so much, Hillary.

01:22:17.740 I'm glad you're here.

01:22:19.140 I want to talk to you a little bit about Rectech.

01:22:22.080 Rectech is just the best grill I've ever had.

01:22:26.000 I've ever used.

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.

01:22:39.880 And I am the worst.

01:22:41.300 I burn everything.

01:22:42.680 Literally burn.

01:22:43.760 And at the price of meat, I don't want to be burning steaks.

01:22:47.600 Rectech is unbelievable.

01:22:50.880 They're smart grill technology.

01:22:52.620 I haven't burned anything.

01:22:54.180 I know this sounds like, but it's true. 0.97

01:22:56.280 I mean, I suck at this.

01:22:58.340 Rectech is having a Black Friday sale that has already begun.

01:24:06.260 We are not going to gloat this hour.

01:24:08.400 No.

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

01:24:12.860 Because that would be wrong and childish.

01:24:14.700 Right, Stu?

01:24:16.020 We wouldn't do that.

01:24:17.320 We wouldn't do that.

01:24:17.900 No, we're adults here.

01:24:18.780 Or we might.

01:24:20.800 Just maybe a little bit.

01:24:22.580 I mean, even adults can do it.

01:24:24.980 60 seconds.

01:24:26.080 We'll find out how adult we are.

01:24:29.900 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:24:31.100 I have a love-hate relationship with my bed, honestly.

01:24:34.160 I love to climb into it in the evening.

01:24:36.900 I hate to get out of it in the morning.

01:24:39.320 I mean, I'm just saying.

01:24:41.200 You know?

01:24:41.600 I can't decide.

01:24:42.900 Love-hate.

01:24:44.100 Anyway, one of the things I love about my bed is my sheets and my pillows.

01:24:49.540 I get them from Mike Lindell's MyPillow.

01:24:52.760 And Mike has been working for years to make sure you can, you know, have that love-hate relationship with your bed.

01:26:11.100 And I, while I don't want to gloat, I do...

01:26:17.260 I do want to dance!

01:26:21.660 Everybody dance!

01:26:29.140 Okay, that was childish.

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

01:28:43.280 what happens in 2022 2024 and on

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

01:29:20.980 because you just i mean

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 0.97

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 1.00

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 0.54

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 0.96

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

01:34:29.820 on this week's house of delegates

01:34:35.140 brought to you in part by the ford foundation

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 1.00

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 0.96

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

01:36:11.540 of

01:36:12.260 on pbs

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

01:36:35.180 reason everybody

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 1.00

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 0.82

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 1.00

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 0.62

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 1.00

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 see the republicans and what they do when they actually get into office please do something all

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

02:00:22.820 than me carol you're providing real value to your listeners these are actionable this is just theory
