I'm Jay Mullin, and I'm the host of the Energy Manager's Playbook, a new podcast from Save
00:00:06.020
This show is about real stories, real challenges, and real solutions from energy professionals.
00:00:12.140
I personally think that many engineers were not given enough training in communications
00:00:17.080
and the softer skills of getting a project done.
00:00:19.720
We have no control over cost of materials, but we do have control of how we use our energy
00:00:25.900
Listen to the Energy Manager's Playbook wherever you get your podcasts.
00:00:37.300
He's a guy who wants to change America and strengthen America, and he's trying to return
00:00:44.860
When a mill was going out of a factory that made American clothing, going out of business,
00:00:53.940
he bought it, retrained everybody, brought back the old machines that, back in the 60s
00:01:00.480
and 70s, used to make the great American sweatshirt.
00:01:06.360
He repaired them, brought them back, and then trained everybody on them.
00:01:13.440
The cotton, the ink, the zippers, everything made here in America and assembled here in America.
00:01:19.660
100% American, and it's quality that will last generations.
00:01:31.300

00:03:28.640
We're going to talk to Alex Epstein here in just a second about COP28.
00:03:34.960
I can't take the insanity that is coming out from these global, quote, leaders that are telling us that we need to abolish all coal.
00:03:44.340
How many people have to die before we all recognize it's a really bad idea?
00:03:54.020
He's from the Center for Industrial Progress and founder and president and the author of a great book called Fossil Future.
00:04:03.980

00:05:40.600
Center for Industrial Progress, founder and president, and author of Fossil Future.
00:05:45.720
He's been watching COP28, which, you know, I didn't see 1 through 27, so I didn't really
00:05:52.940
get it, but we wanted to have him come in and fill us in.
00:05:59.200
I mean, what's been your kind of observation just looking at it from headlines?
00:06:03.880
My observation is the arrogance is getting out of control.
00:06:09.700
They're the attitude of the little people must be tamed is sickening.
00:06:28.560
So just so people know, so COP stands for Conference of the Parties, and it's part of
00:06:32.660
what's called the United Nations Framework Concern in Climate Change.
00:06:35.480
They have all these acronyms and everything like that.
00:06:37.760
And then the allegedly scientific basis of this is called the IPCC, Intergovernmental
00:06:43.880
And this is really the epicenter of the net zero movement.
00:06:47.060
This is where they convene every year, and they always say the same thing, which is we
00:06:51.500
did a decent job restricting fossil fuels, but we really didn't do enough.
00:06:55.740
So this year, we really have to finish the job.
00:06:58.940
And so they start arguing, and everyone starts out by saying we should get rid of fossil fuels.
00:07:04.040
And then some remotely sane people kind of mitigate it, but it still ends up with a totally
00:07:12.040
But right now, they're literally considering that something that says a just and orderly phase
00:07:22.680
Is that like America should get rid of it first?
00:07:28.080
So that's the one that's getting headlines right now, because the leaders want that.
00:07:36.200
And it's really perverse, because the only legitimacy to it is they're recognizing, wait
00:07:41.880
a second, it doesn't make sense for undeveloped countries and developing countries to have
00:07:53.200
And so some African nations are standing up and saying, hey, it's good for us to use
00:07:57.640
And some are saying it's good for the world to.
00:07:59.580
But then there's this movement, which is often like climate justice or climate reparations,
00:08:03.540
where they say, no, no, Africa gets to use fossil fuels.
00:08:06.020
And then the US needs to stop using fossil fuels by 2030, which, can you imagine a worse
00:08:11.880
thing for the world for all the developed economies to be destroyed?
00:08:21.180
And the key to it is fossil fuel benefit denial.
00:08:26.140
They say, we don't like the side effects of fossil fuels on climate, but they ignore
00:08:30.220
And it's exactly as if you had an antibiotics conference and they just said, let's get rid
00:08:35.420
It's like, okay, but that's going to kill billions of people.
00:08:38.420
They're like, we're not going to talk about that.
00:08:42.480
So tell me what a world looks like without fossil fuels.
00:08:48.420
I mean, there's, you can't describe it to people like the destruction of it, because
00:08:54.340
it would be literally like, let's take their timetable of 2050, which, you know, this is
00:09:00.080
This is literally the most popular political idea in the world.
00:09:02.820
I mean that truly, that we should be net zero by 2050.
00:09:06.540
So that means rapidly eliminate almost all fossil fuel use.
00:09:09.900
We could talk about some of the oil companies are pretending you can capture all the CO2 by
00:09:16.140
So it means rapidly eliminate fossil fuels, but fossil fuels are 80% of the world's energy.
00:09:21.520
They're still growing because they're uniquely cost effective.
00:09:24.040
That's why China is building 300 new coal plants, despite, you know, all the hostility
00:09:28.940
So if you get rid of the most cost effective source of energy in a world where most people
00:09:34.060
use very little energy, and energy is absolutely a requirement for people to survive, let alone
00:09:39.680
flourish, because it allows us to use machines versus using manual labor.
00:09:46.040
We depend on diesel fuel for machinery, and we depend on natural gas for fertilizer.
00:09:52.380
And these monsters are discussing eliminating fossil fuels full stop.
00:09:58.060
I have to tell you, I was watching yesterday, I happened to be standing, waiting for something.
00:10:03.860
And I stood outside, and there was this big, what do you call those, you know, the diggers
00:10:15.380
And I'm watching them, and I'm like, this is the greatest boy job ever.
00:10:21.140
I mean, that, I mean, I still, you know, at almost 60, I'm like, I want that job.
00:10:26.720
But I just, I sat there, and I watched it, and I thought, oh, that's going to work with
00:10:32.220
That's absolutely, I mean, there will be nothing, there will be nothing that is working.
00:10:37.980
And if you get rid of fossil fuels, how do you charge the batteries?
00:10:42.360
So it's, I think it's important, once you start asking these questions, I think you
00:10:47.120
realize a broader point of mine, which is that the green movement and the green energy
00:10:50.820
movement, they're not an attempt to replace fossil fuels with better energy.
00:10:55.420
It's, there's a deep hostility toward energy as such, because their focus is, let's, let's
00:11:03.580
Human impact is evil, let's protect the planet from it.
00:11:05.880
But if you hate human impact, you have to hate energy, because energy is impact.
00:11:09.140
That's what we do with energy, is we impact the planet.
00:11:14.040
We spent thousands of years trying to come up with a way to create energy.
00:11:27.060
Every species wants impact except modern environmentalist humans.
00:11:30.840
How do you convince these dolts that this is just, this is suicide?
00:11:39.420
I, I mean, I do understand that people like John Kerry, they'll be able to have access to
00:11:46.400
But these people who are out in the streets picketing and, I mean, are they really that stupid?
00:12:01.300
Some people are truly anti-human, but I don't think that's most people.
00:12:04.780
I think most people, they've just, they haven't even realized that they've been taught to think
00:12:10.820
Again, ignoring all the benefits of fossil fuels and only looking at the negative side
00:12:15.900
Hey, with any technology, we need to be even-handed.
00:12:20.640
And then you need to educate them because, for instance, people don't know that fossil fuels are
00:12:25.400
They're taught the fiction that fossil fuels can be rapidly replaced by solar and wind.
00:12:30.980
Those are people without solar or wind power at their house.
00:12:33.700
So one of the things, you know, I have this book, Fossil Future, but also a free website,
00:12:37.160
energytalkingpoints.com, and people can search any topic there and they can get very concise,
00:12:43.600
And that's helping people educate their friends and family.
00:12:46.440
So if you're, you know, you're having discussions during Christmas, just go to
00:12:48.620
energytalkingpoints.com and you can search like solar and wind and you can learn the
00:12:53.060
It's not too hard to explain, but the, you know, the mass media and educational system
00:13:00.040
So when they say no more fossil fuels, does that mean no more drilling for it either, right?
00:13:06.920
Well, it's actually worse than that because they make the, well, because, so no more fossil
00:13:13.240
We're going to stuff people down the oil wells to replace the dinosaurs.
00:13:16.900
Well, but what they do is they make this 2050 target for, we have to be net zero, which
00:13:21.800
means we can't add any more CO2 to the atmosphere by 2050, which I think would be the apocalypse
00:13:28.960
But then what they do in the meantime is they say, it's not like that happens in 2050.
00:13:34.900
They say, well, we need to ban, for example, natural gas infrastructure.
00:13:37.780
So the Markey out of, uh, Markey out of Massachusetts, the Senator, like he led this push to say no
00:13:45.580
He said, we committed to no new natural gas infrastructure by end of 2022.
00:13:50.720
And I'm thinking, wait a second, have you witnessed Europe?
00:13:52.720
Like Europe is afraid of winter now, like it's game of Thrones, right?
00:14:01.600
Bangladesh is having blackouts because they don't have enough gas.
00:14:04.220
And your solution is no new natural gas infrastructure.
00:14:07.740
And also they think they don't understand oil and gas deplete.
00:14:12.820
Otherwise you can't even stay at your current level, let alone the larger level that people
00:14:18.980
So, but what I'm asking is there are other uses for oil.
00:14:25.880
Um, you know, it's our synthetics for our clothing and everything else that comes from oil, the
00:14:37.140
Well, some of them say like, oh, we can do it for that.
00:14:40.060
But that, that whole industry is dependent on using it for energy.
00:14:44.080
It's not like, it's going to be a totally different thing.
00:14:46.760
So it's, um, I mean, but the point is the green people are not thinking about energy.
00:14:54.520
Protecting the planet from humans is their focus.
00:14:57.440
So every time you bring up these rational things, it's true, but they're not thinking about
00:15:03.120
And in a sense, I talk about this in chapter three of fossil future.
00:15:06.380
In a sense, the, the benefits of fossil fuels are the problem because they, the benefits of
00:15:11.400
fossil fuels allow the human race to expand for us to have 8 billion people for us to have
00:15:16.140
And a lot of these guys say explicitly, we should have 1 billion people or less.
00:15:20.500
Now think about what that implies in terms of any kind of near-term action.
00:15:24.720
How do you get 8 billion people to 1 billion people?
00:15:34.660
You know, the, the, especially when, when John Kerry said at, at cop 28, what, a couple
00:15:42.600
of days ago that he just, he just gets enraged when he sees people who should be responsible
00:15:54.980
And they don't understand we can't build another coal fire plant.
00:16:01.500
I think to myself, first of all, who are you to decide who lives and dies?
00:16:11.000
And the arrogance of your, of, of your position is just, it's crazy, crazy dangerous.
00:16:18.900
I mean, I think the coal thing is particularly scary cause everyone is piling on coal.
00:16:24.100
And just if I mentioned energy talking points.com, if you just search electricity emergency, here's
00:16:30.260
So we have a grid where we're artificially increasing demand for reliable electricity
00:16:36.120
And other, and trying to ban gas stoves this in California, where I live, this is the worst,
00:16:41.400
Then we're artificially decreasing the supply by shutting down coal plants, natural gas plants
00:16:49.360
We already have an emergency where look at what happens in Texas.
00:16:52.260
You guys have daily emergency alerts right throughout the summer.
00:17:04.100
And in this environment, coal plants are protecting us from the abyss.
00:17:11.480
We've shut down way too many without a viable replacement.
00:17:14.200
And what does our administration do representing us on the international stage?
00:17:18.060
They say, we're going to shut down the rest of them as quickly as possible.
00:17:21.040
If they do that, we lose 20% of our reliable capacity or more.
00:17:25.820
How long before the whole country is enrolling blackouts?
00:17:31.220
I mean, it just depends because we have this EPA that's just, again, they have no contemplation
00:17:35.840
of the benefits of fossil fuels or reliable electricity.
00:17:38.500
They're just focused on let's eliminate any emission we can.
00:17:42.700
But when you see the emergency alerts, that means you have shortages.
00:17:46.280
And it also means you have industrial blackouts.
00:17:48.400
It means that industrial customers are having their power cut off.
00:17:51.520
That happens before, like a blackout is an accident, but the shortages are what you want
00:17:55.900
to watch for because that means that you don't have enough power.
00:17:58.680
So we have shortages and all of these plans to decrease the supply.
00:18:02.400
I think when I talk to a lot of politicians, this is one of the things I tell them, like,
00:18:06.340
this is the existential thing you need to watch out for.
00:18:08.800
And because the coal industry is so small and has a small lobby, you're not getting enough
00:18:18.640
And there's some hostility toward coal sometimes.
00:18:20.520
But like these coal plants, you do not want to shut these things down.
00:18:24.160
We do not have the natural gas capacity that we're building.
00:18:26.840
The natural gas infrastructure isn't built for electricity yet.
00:18:34.260
But shutting down coal is right now is a terrible, terrible idea.
00:18:41.700
This is the time of the year when we think about giving gifts.
00:18:45.480
There's no better gift than giving the gift of life.
00:18:48.580
200 times a day in this country, the ministry of Preborn is introducing an unborn baby to his
00:18:56.720
Through the miracle of free ultrasounds, they meet that child.
00:19:03.140
And it all happens because of, you know, people like you who are donating 28 bucks.
00:19:12.560
And the effect of it is when a mom hears the baby, the heartbeat, and sees the baby,
00:19:22.480
And then they go a step further because 60-some percent of all moms that have had an abortion
00:19:30.540
say that they wish they hadn't, but they just didn't feel like they had any support.
00:19:43.520
For the first two years, they provide all kinds of stuff for mom and the baby.
00:19:48.920
And I've seen it firsthand, the relationship between Preborn and these clinics and the moms
00:19:58.640
If you'd like to be a part of this, donate at pound 250.
00:20:07.280
Or you can donate online at preborn.com slash Beck.
00:20:33.600
And he's with the Center for Industrial Progress.
00:20:36.040
He's, I think, the leading voice against climate change.
00:20:45.980
So have you done much on the Inflation Reduction Act and how we are paying people to dismantle
00:20:57.440
So, again, I keep plugging energytalkingpoints.com.
00:20:59.540
If you search IRA or Inflation Reduction Act, I think we have the most comprehensive analysis.
00:21:05.740
I mean, I called it at the time the Manchin Green New Deal.
00:21:09.220
Because it was, you know, Manchin had stood up against various iterations of this.
00:21:13.520
And I think substantively this was the same basic idea as the Green New Deal in terms of
00:21:18.060
we're going to restrict fossil fuels and then we're going to subsidize and various ways prop
00:21:29.280
I mean, if you look at the, you know, the projected costs went from like a couple hundred billion
00:21:33.120
dollars, which is also terrible, to like a trillion dollars per decade.
00:21:36.360
One thing people don't know is it has no end date.
00:21:38.560
The subsidies have no end date because they say it's either 2032 or when we reduce our emissions
00:21:47.580
Well, even according to the Biden administration, we're not going to have that by 2050.
00:21:52.280
So it just means this endless parade of subsidies.
00:21:55.000
And what this is doing is it's in different ways forcing more and more unreliable solar and
00:21:59.540
wind on the grid and trying to get rid of coal at a time when we need reliable electricity
00:22:05.680
How is the where's the disconnect in people's heads between I'm buying an electric car?
00:22:14.660
And the idea that we're making less energy and we don't even have the grid.
00:22:24.660
The way our grid is now, it is not capable of carrying that much electricity.
00:22:31.320
I mean, I think we need to I think it's pretty easy to connect to make.
00:22:34.000
It's just there's often this stuff where people don't have something pointed out.
00:22:38.620
And so they're just not thinking about it because they're just taught not to think about
00:22:43.680
That's why I say, hey, look, we're increasing the demand for reliable electricity and we're
00:22:49.040
Isn't that and we're talking about drastically decreasing the supply more is not a problem.
00:22:52.320
Most people will say, yes, I mean, this came up in the Newsom.
00:22:55.160
I don't know if you saw the Newsom DeSantis debate.
00:22:57.080
I thought DeSantis had a really good point, which is a point that I make a lot, particularly being
00:23:01.960
a Californian, which is this point about, well, Governor Newsom announced, hey, no more internal
00:23:08.720
And then six days later, you know, you have to use EVs.
00:23:11.160
And six days later, California told us, don't charge your EVs.
00:23:24.800
And I want to talk to you about the candidates.
00:23:26.880
Which candidate do you think is best to stop all of this?
00:23:35.580
If you haven't, if you don't have rough greens yet for your dog, let me tell you something.
00:23:41.660
And, you know, that's I mean, that's fine as long as he doesn't hear about it and turn
00:23:45.600
on you, but if he hears that he could have been eating healthier, tastier food, you know,
00:23:51.200
if his his pet human would have been listening, you know, he might get a little upset and they
00:23:59.140
So I'm not going to tell him, but some of the other dogs in the neighborhood might.
00:24:03.540
You might want to put rough greens on his kibble food.
00:24:09.220
It's a supplement developed by naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black.
00:24:22.120
And that's just because the government wants it to be able to sit on the shelf for, you
00:24:28.560
The folks at rough greens are so confident that your dog is going to love it.
00:24:33.260
You just go to R U F F greens dot com slash Beck.

00:24:55.240
Well, we're with Alex Epstein and he is sitting here in the studio and he has the guts to
00:25:13.380
try to say that climate related emergency, climate emergency deaths are down.
00:25:23.540
I mean, we all know we listen to the politicians and and all of the people at COP 28.
00:25:29.680
We all know that climate deaths are are through the roof now.
00:25:33.760
Well, it's interesting because usually they just avoid that subject.
00:25:36.840
If you look at the rhetoric, what they'll do usually is they'll just use anecdotes.
00:25:43.020
And you're like, no, wait, actually, many, many more people used to die in Pakistan and
00:25:48.320
in general deaths used to be 50 times what they are today.
00:25:51.820
Interestingly, Hillary Clinton had the gall this year to say we're we just started studying
00:25:56.640
climate related deaths and we're finding that they're going up.
00:25:59.900
And like, wait, we have records going back a long time.
00:26:03.180
We have records of, you know, millions of people dying in a given year, like 100 years
00:26:07.620
And specifically, she said, and we know the biggest cause of climate death is heat death.
00:26:13.220
And this is news to me and to everyone who knows anything, because on every continent,
00:26:17.320
Russia, yeah, on every continent, even the African continent, cold related deaths exceed
00:26:25.120
So overall, it's something like an eight to one ratio.
00:26:30.380
Also, by the way, warming occurs more in colder places than in warm places.
00:26:36.500
So but she's just I'm glad she's bringing this up because it's so easily refuted.
00:26:40.420
But they're finally bringing up the issue of death, which they've evaded for years because
00:26:47.040
I believe it's in your book, Alex, where they've never put this the graph that you have
00:26:52.140
and you've shown 98 percent drop in climate related deaths.
00:27:04.080
With all these things put together, the main thing we're trying to prevent are climate
00:27:09.920
So that would be the number one graph to show in a report about the climate.
00:27:16.780
So they don't even talk about the rate of climate death, because let alone this graphic,
00:27:21.040
which is taken from mainstream data because they don't want to do it.
00:27:23.580
They also mentioned zero times any climate related benefits of fossil fuels, which is odd
00:27:28.600
because one of the main things we do with fossil fuels is protect ourselves from climate.
00:27:31.680
Think about irrigation powered by fossil fuels, crop transport, air conditioning, heating.
00:27:39.000
Like, I mean, so many ways in which we use fossil fuels take the naturally dangerous climate
00:27:45.620
And if you're interested in the future of climate danger, you can't ignore the benefits
00:27:48.980
of fossil fuels because your level of mastery over climate determines what's dangerous.
00:27:55.960
Like in the United States, we have every climate imaginable and we can live to 80 in
00:27:59.360
every state easily because we're masters of climate.
00:28:03.720
If you care about climate livability and avoiding climate danger, just have enough energy so you
00:28:11.780
I mean, in Minnesota and you can live comfortably in Arizona.
00:28:19.420
You, you, I mean, you had to chop a lot of wood to live in Minnesota and you couldn't live in
00:28:34.180
It was very few that would actually move down there.
00:28:42.580
And yesterday I saw a story from cop 28 where they're saying, got to get rid of air conditioning
00:28:51.040
Like their, their whole thesis is we're worried about the earth is getting too warm.
00:29:00.580
And you see, it shows the anti-humanism because what it shows is even by their own view of the
00:29:06.040
problem, they're against any solution that protects us.
00:29:11.120
And even if you ask, like they're against the idea of capturing CO2 from fossil fuels
00:29:15.360
usually, which I don't think you can do that efficiently on a global scale, but it's revealing.
00:29:18.900
And they're also against what they call geoengineering, which is at some point cooling the earth.
00:29:23.740
Like I believe if we, if we actually faced a warming crisis, which we don't, but you should
00:29:27.640
explore, are there any macro things you can do?
00:29:29.660
You know, volcanoes cool the earth, but they're like, no, that's, that's the thing.
00:29:36.200
They don't want us to cause any problem and then solve the problem with more impact in
00:29:41.500
They just want us to withdraw impact and technology.
00:29:45.060
So is the air conditioning thing targeted towards really the United States more than anybody
00:29:52.780
Cause you go over to Europe, you know, they don't use ice cubes and generally speaking,
00:30:05.200
Well, you can think of it as it's targeting us, or you could think of it as it's targeting
00:30:11.640
It's really bad because you want air conditioning because what they do is their whole focus is
00:30:16.060
let's eliminate human impact and particularly, uh, the impact particularly eliminate CO2.
00:30:22.020
And so what they do is they just categorize human activities, not by how good they are for human
00:30:29.060
They categorize them by how much impact do they have?
00:30:31.580
And they say, Hey, you know, air conditioning uses a lot of energy.
00:30:33.920
So if we want to reach our goal, we got to stop doing air conditioning.
00:30:36.960
When did they stop teaching trees, breathe in as we breathe out.
00:30:43.040
When I was a kid that, I mean, we knew it's this great circle trees, breathe in what we
00:30:54.300
So what that means is more CO2 generally means more plant growth.
00:30:58.300
We still, so some of the CO2 gets absorbed by trees and some gets absorbed by the oceans
00:31:02.540
and some, we put still have more in the atmosphere than we used to.
00:31:05.940
But I look at all this from a humanistic perspective, just, Hey, is the world today
00:31:10.020
with more CO2 in the atmosphere, more plant life and more, most importantly, more energy.
00:31:14.500
Is that a better world than the energy starved world of a hundred or 200 years ago?
00:31:19.460
And it's better in every respect, including climate.
00:31:21.980
I yet have, I have yet to meet one green activist who would prefer to live in the supposedly
00:31:30.500
Because they would freeze to death or burn or heat to death because they didn't have any
00:31:35.640
Um, let's talk about the, uh, candidates tonight is, uh, the, uh, the Republican debate.
00:31:42.160
Um, we have four people, unfortunately on stage and one that is not going to be there.
00:31:47.460
Donald Trump, when you look at, I'm sure you've talked to most, if not all of the candidates,
00:31:52.660
or at least their, their surrogates, um, who is the best, who has the best understanding
00:32:00.180
of this, uh, and who do you think is the most serious about stopping this kind of nonsense?
00:32:09.100
So for once, I'm a little hesitant to say stuff because I, I advise kind of a lot of different
00:32:17.140
Um, so I'm trying to get everyone to use what I'm advocating.
00:32:20.580
Um, I think I'll, but I'll talk about what people have said publicly.
00:32:23.580
So I think all of them, Christie is actually the one I know least in terms of, of his views,
00:32:29.380
Um, the ones who've been the most of the people tonight, the ones who've been most outspoken
00:32:36.040
So Haley, I don't disagree with much of what she said, but I just haven't heard her say
00:32:43.280
So Vivek has definitely been the most outspoken about this issue of climate death.
00:32:48.620
He's really popularized this statistic of 98% decline and he has a really good understanding
00:32:54.580
He's publicly, uh, this is not me giving away anything.
00:32:56.520
He's publicly said like he's read fossil future.
00:32:58.800
He's been very influenced by, you know, he's an intellectual guy.
00:33:03.760
And it's been exciting to see him on networks that would never have me like NBC making these
00:33:10.720
He's also, I think is in favor of energy freedom, you know, dramatically reducing the
00:33:15.940
Um, DeSantis has been really good as well in his, his opening energy speech in Midland.
00:33:20.480
Like he specifically mentioned 98% decline in climate disaster deaths.
00:33:24.580
Uh, you know, in his debate with Newsom, he talked about the evil of government dictated
00:33:28.800
green energy, which is a term that I use and I encourage others to use.
00:33:34.260
So I think, um, I think those two are both doing well.
00:33:37.320
I think in general, the Republicans, and I take some credit for this, have done are better
00:33:43.100
If you look at like the 2012 debates, 2016 debates, even the platforms have gotten way,
00:33:49.220
I mean, almost it's, it's almost hard to criticize any of them vehemently.
00:33:53.940
What, what years ago, when did you become, when did you become an unwashed heathen to the
00:34:01.080
Well, you were, I mean, you were a big deal to the left, um, because you believe in, you
00:34:07.900
know, climate change, et cetera, et cetera, but you don't believe in the solutions.
00:34:12.740
And if I remember right, you were, uh, you were beloved, you know?
00:34:23.840
I mean, I, you know, I grew up in sort of like a left wing kind of environment as a kid.
00:34:28.260
I grew up in Chevy Chase, Maryland, but I wasn't in the media back then or anything.
00:34:32.220
So, I mean, now I'm, I'm down, definitely at the peak of my prominence and it still has,
00:34:38.140
I get, look, I get a lot of exposure, but I've never been interviewed by CNN.
00:34:44.720
And I am the most willing guy in the world to debate anyone.
00:34:51.220
I guess I've been on the BBC before, but like, Hey, if anyone is watching from there,
00:34:56.780
But in the meantime, at least other people, it's great when presidential candidates and
00:35:01.940
politicians are making these points because they can't, those networks can't avoid them.
00:35:07.200
So that was exciting about seeing Vivek is like, Oh, he's making these points and they
00:35:13.980
Is this turning with the, um, next generation is, are you seeing real growth of, I don't
00:35:25.840
I mean, I'm seeing in my world, the significant proliferation of young people who are saying
00:35:31.640
So in terms of the influencer side, and a lot of my focus is on, this is why I have energy
00:35:36.040
talking points.com and, and basically giving everyone the building blocks.
00:35:40.480
Like Stu's become really articulate on these things and really knowledgeable.
00:35:43.800
And that's quite an accomplishment by you to make me articulate on anything.
00:35:47.720
The, I didn't say that, but I'd like to emphasize it.
00:35:51.660
So it's, it's, it's like, I like, I really like seeing other people learn the way of thinking,
00:36:00.640
I was just in Africa a couple months ago and there's a young Kenyan guy I've come to
00:36:04.200
befriend and kind of mentor called Jasper Machogu.
00:36:07.720
If you check him out on Twitter, I, by the way, I don't agree with all of his views on foreign
00:36:10.520
policies, so let's just, but, but he is really, really good on energy.
00:36:13.800
We did a video that I'll post soon, but anyway, he's become a really successful activist for
00:36:18.740
African energy freedom and he really gets it and he can frame the stuff a lot the way
00:36:25.600
And so I just want to, I want, the other thing is people are starting to see you can
00:36:31.640
When I got into this, believe me, I had no idea that being pro fossil fuels, there was
00:36:35.720
ever any notoriety in it, even though in retrospect, it makes sense.
00:36:42.400
And then people were interested, but now I'm glad if people follow me and say, you
00:36:54.980
It's part of why I've showed you guys in the background, like I'm making an AI that
00:36:59.140
Like I want to be obsoleted by the other people and by my own AI.
00:37:08.620
But, uh, you know, there's lots of people that would like you obsolete on the other
00:37:19.380
Um, fossil fuels, uh, fossil future is the name of the book.
00:37:23.760
It's Alex, uh, Epstein and, uh, it's always good to have you on.

00:40:43.180
When it's sanctioned by the RNC, you know, it's got to be good.
00:40:47.100
Discussions and talking points don't matter outside of that framework.
00:40:50.140
That is when the RNC approves, uh, I'm interested in Megan Kelly moderating, uh, today.
00:40:58.580
And the free beacon is also the editor in chief is going to be Johnson.
00:41:04.620
Would you like to just, well, I just thought, I thought you were looking at her name and
00:41:08.540
didn't know how to pronounce it, which is usually Elena Johnson.
00:41:20.460
And, uh, you know, Megan is, uh, is kind of the headliner, I guess, of the, of the moderation
00:41:28.480
I can't remember, but, uh, I think there's three total moderators, but I'm going to be
00:41:39.780
I, I, cause I feel like these other debates, there's a lot of problems with them.
00:41:44.140
I'm mainly being the guy in first place and isn't in them.
00:41:47.000
Uh, but you know, having someone who's going to actually ask questions I care about would
00:41:51.440
I'm disappointed that Chris Christie is going to be in.
00:41:53.700
I mean, I, I'm, I'd like to get it down to the two or three, you know, and then he just,
00:42:04.500
You know, Rick Santorum was at four percent at this point in, uh, in Iowa back in the
00:42:11.840
Uh, I mean, Huckabee was probably not at the top by, by now either.
00:42:16.720
I mean, I think there's a, uh, we get to this rush where we want to get everybody out
00:42:21.160
I don't want, I look, I don't, there's no path for Chris Christie to win the nomination.
00:42:24.420
So that's just frustrating, you know, but I mean, you can make the point on, on Christie
00:42:31.080
I don't know what the path is for those two guys, but you know, there's been no
00:42:36.060
They want to, you know, at some point it becomes ridiculous to stay in the race, but I mean,
00:42:40.840
can you, can these guys at least have a couple of votes cast before they have to drop out?
00:42:44.920
We are, um, we're starting our coverage tonight at six 30 with, uh, Oh God, I got to do it
00:42:56.640
I think this is misleading advertising because I have no intention of doing it with you.
00:43:00.620
And then at eight o'clock, uh, is the bait, the, uh, debate eight, 8 PM Eastern.
00:43:08.080
Yeah, we are actually able to cover and, and carry the actual debate.
00:43:13.220
So we're going to be doing live commentary during it, uh, and watching.
00:43:16.960
And then after the bait at 10, we're going to rank how the candidates did and exclusive
00:43:24.800

00:45:57.300
Only the finest caviar, the most expensive champagne for me.
00:46:00.680
Oh, and when I drive off after stepping out of my 4,000 square foot shower, I use towels
00:46:07.660
that really only lovey and I could pack in our giant steamer truck trunk for that, that
00:46:17.020
Why did he pack all of that stuff for a three hour tour?
00:46:25.940
Anyway, uh, the 4,000 foot, uh, shower, uh, I, I, I hate to blame that on Thurston
00:46:35.260
It's actually a Chris Christie shower and he's in it right now getting ready for the debate.
00:46:39.600
But my pillow is announcing two brand new lines of my towels for you to try out.
00:46:50.300

Well, they usually name some horrible dictator.
00:48:07.140
I think that the Hamas would have had a better chance of winning it.
00:48:23.560
How about Zelensky and Putin arm in arm on the cover?
00:48:26.520
Let me give you a hint with yet another dramatic reading.
00:48:52.700
All this silence and patience, pining in anticipation.
00:48:55.780
My hands are shaking from holding back from you.
00:49:00.980
All of this silence and patience, pining and desperately waiting.
00:49:18.660
Only bought this dress so you could take it off.
00:49:30.120
It sounds wonderful and I'm really interested to know.
00:49:33.000
It's the bicycle guy that just, I'm sorry, the bicycle woman that just won.
00:49:40.480
Yeah, you know, the one that just won the bicycle race, you know, the guy who, oh, that just is.
00:49:47.360
Wait, it's the transgender guy who won the bicycle?
00:49:53.480
I only bought this dress so you could take it off.
00:49:56.620
You don't think that Time Magazine would do the transgender movement?
00:50:01.720
The male athletes, trans women in sports is the person of the year?
00:50:27.700
Lots of impact on my football watching every weekend, get to see, you know.
00:50:31.860
I just wanted to bring it up because I know how much she means to you.
00:50:37.580
I get to hear the pitch of, hey, did you know a player on your favorite team is related
00:50:43.820
to the person who's dating this woman that you don't care about?
00:50:55.760
But, no, Taylor Swift, I mean, look, you can, she had a heck of a year.
00:51:03.220
If you're going to give it to an entertainer, she's, I think, the obvious choice.
00:51:18.680
No, but I mean, like, if you're going to give it to an entertainer, it did feel like there
00:51:31.260
You had a lot of stuff going on that was of large impact.
00:51:42.940
The anti, the ones that pointed out that we were just targeting Catholics for no reason
00:51:49.520
Which ones would, which whistleblowers would you like?
00:51:52.140
None of them, by the way, that you're going to mention would go to this unless it's a whistleblower
00:52:00.060
But how about the, how about the Ivy League, um, uh, presidents of Harvard, MIT that, I
00:52:08.440
mean, they're women and they were, they were fantastic yesterday.
00:52:30.300
Well, I think it's pretty hard to, let me play a little bit of the testimony on Capitol
00:52:34.640
Hill from the, uh, from the presidents of Harvard, MIT, and Penn.
00:52:40.920
They were asked about, you know, the calls for genocide of all the Jews on their campus.
00:52:49.180
At MIT, does calling for the genocide of Jews violate MIT's code of conduct or rules regarding
00:52:58.280
If targeted at individuals, not making public statements.
00:53:04.200
Calling for the genocide of Jews does not constitute bullying and harassment?
00:53:07.520
I have not heard calling for the genocide for Jews on our campus.
00:53:14.180
I've heard chants, which can be anti-Semitic depending on the context, or calling for the
00:53:25.160
I have heard chants on campus that could, in the right context, be anti-Semitic calling
00:53:39.060
Well, sometimes when you call for the genocide of Jewish people, you're not being anti-Semitic
00:53:43.760
Like, you're looking for more, uh, living space.
00:53:49.460
That was another catchphrase you might remember from history.
00:53:56.340
We need to spread out, spread our wings a little bit.
00:54:08.900
They could be anti-Semitic in the right context.
00:54:13.540
You know, I don't know what context it would be anti-Semitic to say we should have a genocide
00:54:26.740
So those would not be according to the MIT's Code of Conduct or rules.
00:54:31.460
That would be investigated as harassment if pervasive and severe.
00:54:42.820
Now, I think anybody standing at a rally chanting death or genocide to all the Jews, I don't know.
00:55:00.100
It seems like if it doesn't violate your Code of Conduct, perhaps your Code of Conduct needs
00:55:15.900
And I don't understand, you know, the intellect of Harvard.
00:55:23.880
Ms. McGill, at Penn, does calling for the genocide of Jews violate Penn's rules or Code
00:55:35.860
If the speech turns into conduct, it can be harassment.
00:55:44.440
So, if they're chanting death to all the Jews...
00:55:51.140
But then they actually kill Jews at that point.
00:55:54.540
Once they've wiped out all the Jews, we're going to act.
00:56:05.720
Well, and technically, the speech is calling for genocide, so they probably have to wipe them
00:56:14.900
You know, when there's no Jews left, we'll be like, you know what?
00:56:23.680
Specifically calling for the genocide of Jews, does that constitute bullying or harassment?
00:56:30.420
If it is directed and severe or pervasive, it is harassment.
00:56:42.280
Calling for the genocide of Jews is, depending upon the context, that is not bullying or harassment.
00:56:48.600
This is the easiest question to answer yes, Ms. McGill.
00:56:54.300
So, is your testimony that you will not answer yes?
00:56:57.420
If it is, if the speech becomes conduct, it can be harassment.
00:57:05.000
Conduct meaning committing the act of genocide?
00:57:12.440
I'm going to give you one more opportunity for the world to see your answer.
00:57:16.600
Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate Penn's code of conduct when it comes to bullying and harassment?
00:57:32.020
And, Dr. Gay, at Harvard, does calling for the genocide of Jews violate Harvard's rules of bullying and harassment, yes or no?
00:57:49.900
It's targeted at Jewish students, Jewish individuals.
00:57:53.320
Do you understand your testimony is dehumanizing them?
00:57:57.420
Do you understand that dehumanization is part of anti-Semitism?
00:58:05.460
Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate Harvard's rules of bullying and harassment, yes or no?
00:58:17.140
Anti-Semitic rhetoric when it crosses into conduct that amounts to bullying, harassment, harassment, harassment.
00:58:25.920
If you have a microaggression, which is not saying, we should kill all of you, okay?
00:58:41.640
If you use the wrong pronouns, they put these things into these categories.
00:58:53.000
Well, technically, if you're calling for the genocide of the whole race, it's not targeted at an individual.
00:59:02.320
But also, I will say, you know, that's one of the best grilling.
00:59:08.640
I mean, that is, she did a really good job with that.
00:59:11.540
Now, I will say, it should have been easy for them to say this.
00:59:15.900
You can look at the, what you don't maybe get on radio is the faces of these women as they are trying to answer these questions.
00:59:23.100
They're so smug and so like, oh, this, she's, I see what you're trying to do here and I'm not going to fall for it.
00:59:37.060
To make them say the Palestinian protester kids are bad.
00:59:41.420
It's like, well, yeah, when they're calling for the genocide of the Jews, yeah, they are.
00:59:44.480
You should be able to say that with real confidence.
00:59:48.740
Even more confidence than the pronoun mistake that you're going to throw 10 kids out of your school for next week.
00:59:54.560
Here's a Jewish student that is suing UPenn describing anti-Semitism.
01:00:03.900
Since October 7th, American Jews have been under attack.
01:00:08.820
My name is Eyal Yacobi and I am a proud American studying at the University of Pennsylvania.
01:00:16.320
I've wanted to attend this university since before I can remember.
01:00:19.940
I'm here because the Penn I attend today is unrecognizable from the Penn I once used to know.
01:00:27.020
Penn, once renowned for groundbreaking discoveries like the mRNA vaccine,
01:00:31.100
is now a chilling landscape of hatred and hostility.
01:00:34.760
Our university, revered for its pursuit of knowledge, has devolved into an arena where Jewish students tiptoe through their days, uncertain and unsafe.
01:00:43.240
Not only are tensions palpable, but there have also been materialized actions taken to intimidate and harm students.
01:00:49.020
A bomb threat against Hillel, a swastika spray painted, the Hillel and Chabad house is vandalized,
01:00:55.620
a professor posting the armed wing of Hamas's logo on Facebook, a Jewish student accosted,
01:01:01.740
Jews are Nazis etched adjacent to Penn's Jewish fraternity house.
01:01:07.100
Why doesn't the university hold the perpetrators of such acts accountable?
01:01:11.340
Is the university fearful that they may offend those who wish to intimidate and harass their fellow students?
01:01:16.840
Penn's ambivalence fuels a crisis that has shattered my academic sanctuary.
01:01:23.520
Policies meant to safeguard us have become hollow promises.
01:01:27.080
And let us be clear, if they fail Jewish students today, tomorrow they will fail the rest of us.
01:01:37.400
And not just for outing of anti-Semites, but also those who were called transphobic.
01:01:47.340
There was another hearing on Capitol Hill yesterday where I saw again one of the greatest responses I have seen from a congressperson.
01:02:02.400
First, when you absolutely, positively have to buy or sell a home, sometimes you just have to.
01:02:08.340
You want the people that you can trust on your side doing the best job possible.
01:02:13.960
It's a company called realestateagentsitrust.com.
01:02:19.660
I started it, I don't know, five, six, seven years ago.
01:02:23.440
Because I didn't know how to interview a real estate agent.
01:02:27.500
I had no idea how they, you know, what are the best practices?
01:02:32.000
Well, I figured that out because I started doing work with the, what the Wall Street Journal said was the 500 best real estate agents in the country.
01:02:44.760
The one thing that you need is somebody who knows the best practices, engages in them, has a very, very popular website that already has the traffic built in.
01:02:56.220
Plus, somebody that relates to you, somebody that listens to you.
01:03:01.520
The agents we work with are those people, top sellers.
01:03:04.960
They know the lay of the land, best practices to get your family where you need to go.
01:03:09.140
So whether it's across the street or across the country, if you're looking for a real estate agent that will get the job done, realestateagentsitrust.com.
01:03:26.220
Okay, so there was a, another house hearing, um, and Riley Gaines was there and Summer Lee, the representative, uh, said that we are just going to hear nothing but transphobic language.
01:03:49.940
Uh, we're going to have to sit here and listen to these transphobes.
01:03:54.080
And, uh, Riley Gaines, uh, had a problem with that.
01:03:58.320
...to me that although the title of this hearing implies a much-needed discussion, we're likely going to be forced to listen to transphobic bigotry.
01:04:06.960
Unsafe, unfair, and discriminatory practices towards women must stop.
01:04:11.200
Inclusion cannot be prioritized over safety and fairness.
01:04:15.040
And Ranking Member Lee, if my testimony makes me transphobic, then I believe your opening monologue makes you a misogynist.
01:04:25.960
I move to have, uh, the gentlewoman's words taken down.
01:04:35.940
Can I just ask how it's fair to be called transphobic?
01:04:41.160
I would say men disguising themselves as women are engaging in personalities.
01:05:01.040
I don't know if she's related to the McClain that, you know, is in that Christmas film, that documentary about the bombing in Los Angeles.
01:05:19.820
I sat here and listened to every, every label imaginable.
01:05:42.000
So I will not apologize now or ever for trying to protect my daughters and women in sports.
01:06:15.720
And I will never stop protecting our daughters.
01:06:31.140
Then she pushed a computer on a chair down the elevator shaft.
01:06:37.280
Prices for almost everything have gone up dramatically over the past year.
01:06:41.480
I mean, the main things that went up were just food and fuel.
01:06:47.440
What is the first step towards owning nothing and being happy?
01:06:56.660
So people who don't know how inflation works can't afford anything.
01:07:09.240
Inflation is a very important concept to know who's causing it and what causes it.
01:07:16.020
The Tuttle Twins would like to enlighten your kids and your grandkids and you with a free stocking stuffer.
01:07:22.520
It's a book called The Tuttle Twins and the Creature from Jekyll Island.
01:07:26.540
It explains inflation and money in a way that both kids and adults can enjoy and understand.
01:07:32.220
The books are free until they run out of the extra supply.
01:07:46.200
Teach your kids how to stay ahead of inflation.
01:07:50.240
And head over to BlazeTV.com slash Glenn and fight inflation by saving $30 with the code GLENNPLUS.
01:08:07.000
Because Buddy the Elf brought in some chocolates.
01:08:17.260
Do you have to be old money to know how to open these things?
01:08:35.580
I mean, there's only so much time to open a box of candy.
01:08:39.680
If they make it impossible to open, you just pound it open.
01:08:43.480
There are shards of sharp plastic all over the studio now.
01:08:48.840
But as you were ripping that off, you saw clearly a sticker type of thing that was wrapped around the outside.
01:08:55.600
That was obviously how you opened that package.
01:08:58.220
You don't slam it against the desk like an insane person.
01:09:04.200
That is a regular way that when you wrap chocolate like it's like an old CD, that's how you open it.
01:09:17.320
I'm afraid I'd be eating plastic shards if I were to ingest any of this.
01:09:23.120
That was, now how many times is that, how many times have you done that?
01:09:26.220
That seemed like it was not the first time you had smashed a package of chocolates against the table to open it.
01:09:33.680
I mean, you really wanted some chocolate there.
01:09:37.760
No, less about the chocolate, more about the packaging.
01:09:41.660
You just, you don't get to the point where you're opening something and it's been so sealed that there's no way any human could ever open it.
01:09:56.980
It's never happened to me on national radio before.
01:10:03.900
I feel like that's a lesson we've learned lately.
01:10:06.020
A lot of people are like, I just need to tell the world who I am.
01:10:11.300
You know, Glenn, maybe the way you just acted should be closeted.
01:10:17.400
You're sitting over there with a bottle of whiskey and you're telling me to behave myself.
01:10:25.040
You know how much I want that whiskey right now?
01:10:26.940
I will say, I've got some Fox and Odin whiskey right here.
01:10:36.220
Glenn, I mean, Glenn is looking at me in a way that is disturbing.
01:10:40.680
I feel like a protective parent and you're like Jared from Subway.
01:10:57.720
I will say, I like taunting you over alcohol because I think it's really funny.
01:11:18.480
Look, at the very end of your career, do I want this to end in some sort of alcoholic binge that gets us all sorts of ratings?
01:11:35.620
You okayed a whiskey, knowing that whiskey is my, you okayed a whiskey sponsorship on this program.
01:11:48.580
Why did you take that whiskey sponsor, sponsorship?
01:12:01.740
So now, it's sitting here, and now you're like, oh my gosh, I can't torture you.
01:12:14.200
Those are glass shards if you break the bottle of whiskey, Glenn.
01:12:23.600
You also love the taste of whiskey, and that became a major problem for your life.
01:12:50.900
Or being somebody that's excited about this story, and you're an adult.
01:12:58.060
McDonald's is bringing its adult Happy Meals back into circulation, even containing six
01:13:11.440
The chief of marketing and customer experience officer references the success of last year's
01:13:19.000
cactus plant flea market box, and notes that it was something that would be revisited because
01:13:24.960
fans told us they wanted to celebrate that quintessential childhood experience again.
01:13:31.620
Mm-hmm, so they're giving you the little Happy Meal where the golden arches are the handle.
01:13:44.480
With the little toy in it that none of us had for more than five minutes because it was crap.
01:13:51.600
And which adult, I want to talk to the adults that are like, you know what?
01:13:56.480
I am really happy I can relive that experience and see what McDonald's has left for me as
01:14:15.000
Now, the worst part about the Happy Meal for adults is they have full-sized meals for adults
01:14:21.140
that you could just have that are bigger and more of the stuff that you like, unless you're
01:14:25.820
going for some weird, you know, I'm going back into a cocoon of childhood.
01:14:31.140
And you know, with what Disney has done, when I heard adult toys in a Happy Meal box, I...
01:14:39.000
Oh, you can picture some psychopath out in the McDonald's parking lot smashing open a
01:14:56.080
I'm going to smash it on the bumper in the parking lot.
01:14:59.620
Do you think, though, this is a thing that is...
01:15:07.640
Maybe I'm just misremembering this, but I feel like there was a time where it would
01:15:10.720
be embarrassing to, like, want to jump back into all the childhood behaviors of your past.
01:15:18.300
Yes, I think our grandparents would have slapped us across the face.
01:15:32.020
But, like, the real passion for Disney World and Disneyland from adults is interesting
01:15:44.240
First of all, it's a spawn of Satan now, so you can't go anymore.
01:15:49.100
But, like, I do know a lot of people, even conservatives, who still go back there, like,
01:16:25.520
You gave that box that Happy Meal because it kept your kids quiet so you didn't drink during
01:16:34.740
I don't know that your experience is exactly the same as everyone else's experience.
01:16:39.360
Mister, please open that whiskey bottle so I can smell it.
01:16:57.040
When I was 18 years old, maybe 17, I remember coming back home from school and I had a bowl
01:17:06.520
of cereal and I'm sitting on my couch and I'm just watching TV and there's nothing on.
01:17:11.060
It's like, you know, soap opera time of the day.
01:17:15.040
So, I keep flipping around and the best thing that was on, believe it or not, was Mr. Rogers.
01:17:24.720
Now, my dad happened to come home early that day and I'll never forget, he came up the
01:17:33.520
You know, we had those split levels houses and he came up the stairs and he came around
01:17:38.720
and he's like, hey, and he saw me eating cereal on the couch watching TV, which he was disgusted
01:17:49.120
So, he came and then, I'll never forget, he walked past the TV and then he turned around
01:17:55.280
to see it because Mr. Rogers and had the little puppets with the king and the kingdom.
01:18:02.800
He looked at it and he looked at me and he looked back at the TV.
01:18:08.840
He watched it for about 40 seconds and he looked back at me and said, what the hell is wrong
01:18:14.880
I think that should be said to every adult who's excited about the Happy Meal.
01:18:22.820
You need a parent or a grandparent that is in your life that'll just say to you, what
01:18:34.480
I feel like that was the approach back in the day, but like I was talking about...
01:18:41.820
I'm very excited to celebrate this quintessential childhood memory.
01:18:47.760
Out of all the memories we have as a family, you pick the crappy two-cent toy.
01:18:56.400
There's some anti-McDonald's thing going on with you and I don't like it.
01:19:09.880
No, I mean, but I do feel like there's this anti...
01:19:19.080
Because they reduced the size of the Filet-O-Fish.
01:19:24.940
I mean, it's like they're becoming like Dunkin' Minis.
01:19:35.960
And I'm pissed because, yes, I am fat, but I feel fatter if I have to order two of them.
01:19:57.180
The world needs your knowledge and wisdom on these topics.
01:20:18.300
So we had a video we were showing yesterday when we watched on News and Why It Matters as
01:20:22.340
well, these two people talking about what it means because they're dinks and they're bragging
01:20:28.680
And one of the, the fat guy who's one of the, there's a very small woman and a very large
01:20:37.220
We're going to get asked daily when we plan on having kids.
01:20:40.120
Of course, we're going to go out to eat every night after work.
01:20:43.040
We don't have to ask our family for financial help or to watch our kid when we want to go
01:20:47.840
We're going to go to Costco and buy all the snacks in bulk that we want.
01:21:01.860
There's no way she's going to have sex with him.
01:21:18.720
She has brilliantly convinced him there's some new ideology between a dual income, no
01:21:25.600
When they first got married, he was probably, you know, okay.
01:21:46.260
But I, I have a huge problem with, with these points, largely because the big fat guy doesn't
01:21:53.440
understand that children largely, I mean, they're the biggest part of the role of children is
01:22:03.400
It's the best snack highway you're ever going to find.
01:22:06.840
Do you know how many kinds of mac and cheese I've had over the past 10 years?
01:22:24.820
With the holiday shopping season now in full swing, the holiday scamming season is upon
01:22:32.080
Cyber thieves are now working overtime to steal your information and your money.
01:22:36.040
I think I have a shard of plastic in my, in my hand.
01:22:40.820
No, I need chocolate to be on the lookout for scams that involve gift cards.
01:22:50.880
Wire transfers, cryptocurrency, all these things that you could be scammed on.
01:22:57.580
Make sure that you are, are paying attention and you're not going to be able to catch everything.
01:23:05.920

I, I can't explain anything that's happening with John Fetterman.
01:24:18.100
Have we gone brain dead or is he getting better?
01:24:21.200
Are you saying, is he getting better physically?
01:24:23.540
Are you saying like, yeah, because he's actually speaking.
01:24:27.920
Now, of course, I would still argue he should not be a senator, but he is a little bit better than he was.
01:24:34.320
Like, there was an interview in The View he did the other day and he still stumbles and has problems,
01:24:41.620
I mean, I mean, as much as we hear what he said about Menendez.
01:24:46.100
Did you see, he did a George Santos cameo for Menendez.
01:24:50.980
He actually like paid for George Santos to, to record a video, to encourage Bob Menendez to, to push on.
01:25:09.580
This is one of the fastest growing crimes in America.
01:25:11.340
And most people have no idea that there's an invisible gap in their home's protection.
01:25:14.700
You think, okay, well, I've got insurance, you know, if it burns down or if there's some, you know, hail damage or whatever, whatever natural disaster is in your area, I'm protected.
01:25:22.900
Well, not from house stealing or not, according to the FBI, they say this is one of the fastest growing crimes in America.
01:25:28.160
And when con artists can pick a house and fool with the paperwork, it becomes a catastrophe for you financially.
01:25:35.540
You can try to wait till it happens to you and then try to unwind it with all the authorities and banks and insurance companies and all that.
01:25:45.360
Unfortunately, a home title lock is the smart approach because they will protect you before it happens.
01:25:55.520
You got to do that because I'm going to give you a complete scan of your home's title and your first 30 days of triple lock protection are free.
01:26:57.260
We gotta stand together, it's for goodness to die
01:27:14.060
Is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment
01:27:23.840
Hello America, welcome to the Glenn Beck Program
01:27:30.200
There is a lot on our plate that we need to discuss
01:27:34.040
Including what we found out from the FBI yesterday
01:27:38.060
And in another hearing, what we found out about Biden
01:27:43.220
It looks like Biden is going to go through impeachment in the House
01:27:48.180
We'll bring up speed on that coming up in just a sec
01:27:51.260
First, let me talk to you a little bit about Goldline
01:28:27.820
And I just read a story where it looks like the Fed might start quantitative easing again
01:28:47.240
When you purchase 25 of the Lincoln quarter ounce gold coins
01:28:51.360
You're going to receive 100 Lincoln copper rounds absolutely free
01:28:55.380
Each Lincoln commemorative is a tangible testament to the principles and sacrifices that built this nation
01:29:04.580
I designed these in honor of the 16th president, Abraham Lincoln
01:29:13.500
It is about the covenant that he made at Gettysburg on the back of the Bill of Rights
01:29:44.880
Feeling a little bit better after your very smashed chocolate box?
01:29:54.060
Yeah, I don't know, the coconut one was pretty good
01:29:56.960
Not to say that I did, I stole any of them from you
01:30:01.560
I gladly trade you a box of chocolates for you opening that bottle of whiskey just to let me smell it
01:30:08.980
This, this, this man who has been, who has been sober for how long?
01:30:27.260
I really need this, we need a, we need a safe in the studio
01:30:39.000
It's like, you know, your husband's cheated on you a few times
01:30:53.740
You're a little bit, you're a little bit nervous, aren't you?
01:31:03.840
Because my son, I got a videotape of, or, you know, an Instagram post from my wife last night
01:31:13.100
Of my son being called on by Tony Robbins and leading part of this thing yesterday
01:31:25.020
My son is, you know, up by the stage and he's like
01:31:28.180
Right now, I'll tell you right now, this is what has to happen
01:31:31.620
And he's like, I don't know what's happening to my son
01:31:37.740
And it's happened in a very short period of time too, right?
01:31:40.920
Yeah, I mean, I'm anxious to see how long this lasts
01:31:43.420
But my wife and my, I'm getting things from my wife and my son
01:31:52.100
They're going to come back and I'm going to feel like a slug
01:31:55.280
They're going to be like, you know what, you don't work very hard
01:31:58.460
You need to, you need to, what are you doing with your life?
01:32:02.620
And I'm like, I've already done something with my life
01:32:05.680
That's kind of, yeah, that's the plan of most adult men
01:32:08.460
You get to a certain point and you just get to kind of skate towards the end of the life, right?
01:32:12.420
I mean, you're skating towards the cliff or to the thin ice, you know
01:32:27.580
That's the only thing, you get those people who are like super high achievers
01:32:31.360
And they get around you and it's like, yeah, sure what you're saying is true, but go away
01:32:52.060
She is cheap on, not cheap, she is frugal on everything
01:33:01.480
Whatever Tony Robbins charges for being a mentor for careers, it's worth it
01:33:28.680
That's interesting, because you kind of looked at this as something that might help your son
01:33:32.580
And my wife, she never really kind of recovered from her brother's suicide
01:35:26.520
And I'm going to have to have a talk with Tony Robbins
01:35:34.600
They're starting putting unreasonable demands like
01:35:43.740
Is it possible to kind of pay Tony Robbins more to make your kids and family members less productive?
01:36:12.960
You've worked between three and four hours a day
01:36:33.060
I thought it was more access to macaroni and cheese
01:55:17.120
I've never liked an opera audience more than this
01:55:23.700
I mean wait till you see the guy in the tuxedo come
01:56:04.000
This is worse than anything the media ever showed about a Trump rally
01:56:12.000
Are they aware the thing they're there for sucks
01:56:15.440
I think they're still under the illusion that this is nice
01:56:22.140
You gotta believe half the men in that audience were like
01:56:36.380
It is fascinating of course the people that fund all of these
01:56:39.680
Extinction Rebellion is the group that did this
01:56:41.620
And they're you know one of the most extreme organizations on the planet
01:56:45.600
We have a recurring segment on Studios America called
01:56:56.300
They go and there are people that glue themselves to the floor of like a factory
01:57:19.800
They're not ever gonna glue themselves to things again
01:57:22.060
But it'd be almost like a sequel to the movie Saw
01:57:29.040
And just wait until they saw their hands off to get out
01:57:54.800
You can saw your hand off anytime you want to leave
01:57:56.640
And then they may just commit suicide with the saw
