The Glenn Beck Program - Karl the Elf Hates Children ｜ Guest： Steve Deace ｜ 12⧸17⧸21

00:00:00.000 So having our own personal set of values is important, but we have to share them and we have to get back to some traditions.

00:00:07.160 We're going to talk about traditions today. We have to get back to traditions.

00:00:11.200 And one of those is sitting by the fire. And I mean, the outside fire, you know, going out and just sitting around the fire, roasting marshmallows and talking about it and talking about life because it gets quiet.

00:00:23.960 And as the embers are just burning, you start to look up and realize how small you are.

00:00:30.000 Well, my fireside, my fireside would like you to start those traditions here in the south.

00:00:34.540 We can still go out and do it because it's beautiful outside. But, you know, next summer, if you're up north, our country needs to get back to some of our traditions.

00:00:43.540 And my fireside dot com can help you. It is a beautiful fire pit.

00:00:47.880 They're solid, durable, heavy duty, stainless steel. You can see the fire and the embers, which I think is a really important part of it.

00:00:54.740 And you can also equip it with different stock decorative panels.

00:01:00.120 You can choose from 1776. God bless America. Let's go, Brandon, the American flag, whatever.

00:01:06.740 Three percent of all sales go to Semper Fi and America's fund.

00:01:10.820 Give it to your family. Now, my fireside dot com receive one hundred dollars off and free shipping when you use the discount code back.

00:01:17.840 All right. Last program before the new year coming up.

00:01:23.660 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:48.960 Hello, America, and welcome to the program.

00:02:01.720 I don't know how this happened. I really don't know how this happened, but I am thrilled to have what is what is what is your name, sir?

00:02:11.280 Can we even Carl? Carl, Carl, Carl, the elf is with us today and and he's going to give us some of the news from all around.

00:02:23.040 That's coming up in just a second. Stand by.

00:02:29.960 You there, Carl? You OK? Yeah, I'm here. All right. Good.

00:02:35.160 I want to talk to you a little bit about life life lock. Nobody can take away what you what you are as a person, not even cyber criminals, but they can take away all kinds of stuff.

00:02:46.780 The money you worked hard to earn, the credibility you've worked hard to both, you know, build up your life and your name as a responsible adult.

00:02:55.780 This is where cyber hacking comes in. It stinks on ice, finding finding your name, your social security number.

00:03:05.080 I used to think that was a joke. It is now one of the biggest selling things on the dark web, you know, where you can go and you can contract for murders.

00:03:13.220 They're also selling a lot of your idea, ID, and people will go in and they'll buy all the social security numbers.

00:03:20.840 Then they'll buy banking codes. Then they'll buy records from hotels or whatever's been.

00:03:26.780 And they put them all together. And that's when they have you.

00:03:30.520 Life lock knows this. They watch all of the places, not just your, you know, just your credit cards.

00:03:36.080 And if they find any suspicious activity, they work with you to fix it.

00:03:41.500 No one can prevent all of it, but they're the best in the business.

00:03:44.680 It's LifeLock by Norton. Join now and save up to 25% off your first year with a promo code Beck.

00:03:57.560 Well, it's the holiday. This is the last broadcast I'll be doing before the holidays.

00:04:02.340 And, you know, we've usually, usually that means when we go on vacation, but Pat is here with me.

00:04:09.540 Hi, Pat. Hi, Glenn.

00:04:10.920 Usually that means we screw off and we don't get anything done, but we are dedicated to you.

00:04:18.280 And and so none of that's going to be happening.

00:04:21.180 I wanted to go through some of the news.

00:04:22.980 And as a surprise guest is Carl the Elf. Hi, Carl.

00:04:28.040 Hey, Glenn. How are you?

00:04:29.140 I'm pretty good. I'm pretty good.

00:04:31.340 It's a it's a surprise to have you here in the studio.

00:04:33.420 I didn't know that you would, you know, you'd make it for this.

00:04:37.480 You literally scheduled me to come in here.

00:04:41.140 I thought the elves were all about magic and. 0.76

00:04:44.940 Yeah, it's not magic waking me up early for a very long commute.

00:04:49.260 OK, your commute was long.

00:04:51.680 Yeah, but it was. Yes, I have it.

00:04:54.560 But it's at least it wasn't congested.

00:04:56.220 OK, Carl, I just have to do some news with the with Pat.

00:05:04.000 If you just want to join us for this.

00:05:05.640 Have you heard, Pat, that Joe Biden has warned of a winter of severe illness and death?

00:05:12.860 Oh, wow.

00:05:13.640 Yeah.

00:05:13.860 OK, well, that's Merry Christmas, everybody.

00:05:15.860 Merry Christmas.

00:05:16.580 Are you sure that wasn't you?

00:05:17.660 Is he listening to this show?

00:05:21.980 Is that what's going on?

00:05:23.620 President Biden said yesterday that Americans unvaccinated against the coronavirus are facing

00:05:28.960 a winter of severe illness and death, which is, you know, the kind of the fun stuff that

00:05:34.400 you like to hear from the president.

00:05:35.700 Yeah.

00:05:35.900 It's good that the Republicans are the fear mongers, right?

00:05:38.700 Right.

00:05:39.180 Yeah.

00:05:39.320 Right.

00:05:40.160 Carl.

00:05:41.040 Yeah.

00:05:41.340 Are you vaccinated?

00:05:43.340 Nah.

00:05:43.860 You're not.

00:05:46.200 Nah.

00:05:47.320 I mean, look, I'm begging for death at this point.

00:05:51.860 Yeah.

00:05:53.020 You're begging for death.

00:05:54.500 Really?

00:05:55.100 I'm sorry.

00:05:55.940 Are you guys slaves to build toys all year?

00:05:59.820 I am.

00:06:00.620 I know what that life is like.

00:06:02.040 I didn't.

00:06:02.640 I didn't.

00:06:03.020 It sucks.

00:06:03.520 Yeah.

00:06:03.760 I didn't think you were slaves.

00:06:05.120 I mean, you're you're up there in the North Pole.

00:06:07.260 You're always seemingly very happy.

00:06:09.800 Well, I guess you could call it indentured servitude that doesn't end.

00:06:14.120 There's another way of looking at it.

00:06:15.660 If you want to make the holidays nice and warm.

00:06:18.380 OK.

00:06:18.780 All right.

00:06:19.240 Well, thank you for chiming in on that.

00:06:22.540 Here's the next story.

00:06:24.060 And I hate to bring this to you, you know, so close to Christmas.

00:06:27.180 But the FDA is going to permanently allow abortion pills by mail.

00:06:33.780 Now, this is coming from The New York Times.

00:06:37.460 They have lifted all the restrictions that would make the abortion medication more accessible.

00:06:44.040 Nineteen states have already banned telemedicine visit for abortion pills.

00:06:49.000 And so women are going to have to travel to get their mail, I guess, in other states. 1.00

00:06:54.640 Wasn't that long ago that you couldn't get RU486 anywhere in the United States of America?

00:07:00.300 You're going to be able to get them in junior high vending machines.

00:07:03.960 Right.

00:07:04.780 Yes.

00:07:05.100 They'll have them.

00:07:06.020 Good.

00:07:07.680 Good?

00:07:08.000 Excuse me?

00:07:09.000 Well, I mean, look, the mail, whatever.

00:07:12.260 Yeah, the post office might be bringing you some abortion pills. 0.99

00:07:15.100 But we've been delivering these things for a long time.

00:07:18.580 Wait a minute.

00:07:19.460 I've been hitting up the ladies with abortion pills off the sleigh. 1.00

00:07:22.100 I kind of got a backroom sort of dealing operation, if you want to call it that.

00:07:27.260 I think this is probably not something Santa would, why are you for abortion? 0.87

00:07:33.580 I'm a little, well, first of all, I'm a little pissed off the post office is cutting into my business.

00:07:37.180 But I am for abortion for one simple reason.

00:07:43.100 And I know women's choice is something we can all agree on. 0.96

00:07:49.900 It sounds sarcastic, Carl.

00:07:53.700 Look, I don't care about women's choice. 1.00

00:07:57.120 What I care about is less toys to build.

00:08:00.320 The more abortion pills I drop off as a jolly old elf means I got to make less Etch-a-Sketches. 0.97

00:08:09.280 That's what it means to me.

00:08:10.320 Right, right.

00:08:11.000 You know, I, look, you know, this is why I don't get disappointed in your COVID reporting.

00:08:18.160 You know, if Fauci's right, you know, I've got, basically, I'm taking March off.

00:08:24.060 And that's what I'm looking at.

00:08:25.240 Right.

00:08:25.440 March and April, I might be off from making toys.

00:08:28.260 So you, there are too many, too many people for you.

00:08:31.920 Too many kids.

00:08:33.400 Yeah, I mean, how many do we need?

00:08:34.960 You know, four or five, I think, would be, would it be okay?

00:08:38.700 Per family.

00:08:39.560 No, total.

00:08:44.400 Look, how many do we need?

00:08:46.920 Eventually, if you have five, maybe one of them, you know, something happens at some point.

00:08:52.760 So you got four left, and that's enough to propagate the species.

00:08:56.320 At some point, I believe, elves should take over the whole situation anyway.

00:09:02.340 You know, why, why, you know, these humans, like, you're doing a good job running things?

00:09:07.980 Have you looked around lately?

00:09:09.720 Well, but you, you don't seem like you're carrying a, well, neither does Joe Biden, but you don't

00:09:15.500 seem to be carrying a happy message, one that we all want to get behind.

00:09:20.820 What year do you think this is?

00:09:24.080 It's 2021, Beck.

00:09:26.360 Right.

00:09:26.920 It is, we haven't had, it's been nonstop catastrophe for how many years?

00:09:33.180 Look at what you guys are doing.

00:09:35.900 You, you full-sizers down there are, have been screwing up this planet. 1.00

00:09:42.620 You've, you've, you've got, uh, disease spreading all over the place.

00:09:46.460 Uh, everybody's aborting each other.

00:09:49.120 I mean, look, everything you've done has, has screwed up this, this world.

00:09:55.200 And what have we tried to do?

00:09:57.860 Uh, make it a happy place.

00:09:59.500 And our efforts of bringing you, you know, little rocking horses isn't working.

00:10:06.660 Like, you guys suck.

00:10:07.960 So, so you, so you think the little rocking horses used to work.

00:10:12.080 And that's what.

00:10:12.980 Yeah, at one point it made it like, you know, you had a decent place to live.

00:10:16.700 Things were going relatively well.

00:10:18.560 And we'd bring you, you know, I don't know, some stupid toy to make the kids smile for five

00:10:23.640 minutes.

00:10:23.960 Because now they're basically going to, you know, uh, you know, we're teaching them that

00:10:28.880 the color of their skin is the most important thing about.

00:10:31.480 So wait a minute, wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:10:32.620 So when was it great here?

00:10:34.500 I just, I just want to hear because, you know, there, you seem to have rose colored glasses

00:10:39.320 on when, when was it really, really great where everybody was at nice houses and, you

00:10:46.680 know, we're happy.

00:10:47.640 You trying to, is this gotcha journalism?

00:10:50.180 Are you trying to, if I say a year, you're going to tell me the worst thing about that.

00:10:53.960 And then that was the thing I was rooting for.

00:10:56.860 Well, but I mean, when, when was that?

00:10:58.760 I mean, you know, things have been bad for quite some time.

00:11:02.380 I'll tell you when the good times are.

00:11:05.460 In the future, when people like you are gone, that's when we'll be celebrating.

00:11:10.460 You seem to be.

00:11:11.380 We will be dancing and dancing at the North Pole at that point.

00:11:16.240 You seem to be almost, uh, somebody who likes eugenics.

00:11:23.300 Eugenics, huh? 0.68

00:11:24.280 Yeah.

00:11:24.660 Yeah.

00:11:25.180 Uh, that's, that's not my thing.

00:11:26.820 You're the one that's basically in the Nazi party. 0.53

00:11:29.700 Uh, I, I'm not talking about eugenics.

00:11:33.000 I'm just, I'm just, because I mean, that's.

00:11:34.560 You were talking about giving abortion pills to kids and I mean, and you know, and, and

00:11:39.620 you're remembering things.

00:11:40.980 I remember, remember kids, you know, used to have polio and everything else.

00:11:45.680 Yeah, no, that's true.

00:11:47.340 There, there was some polio stuff.

00:11:48.640 We used to root for that.

00:11:49.800 We were like pro polio up at the North Pole. 0.60

00:11:55.280 You were?

00:11:55.600 Well, yeah, because, you know, there was a time when it seemed like, you know, we were

00:12:02.840 not going to be able to get abortion pills through the mail.

00:12:05.920 Now it's a lot easier to wipe these kids out.

00:12:09.620 Wait a minute.

00:12:09.940 Wait a minute.

00:12:10.300 So you were, were you behind polio?

00:12:14.400 I don't want to say behind it.

00:12:16.320 I mean, I was part of an effort.

00:12:20.220 To what?

00:12:22.680 To create polio.

00:12:28.480 I didn't, I didn't know that the elves were, were part of the creation of polio.

00:12:34.220 When is our vacation?

00:12:35.720 I know your vacation is coming up after this show.

00:12:38.120 Yeah.

00:12:38.540 When is my vacation?

00:12:40.000 My vacation is nowhere because kids keep coming.

00:12:43.600 There's more and more of them.

00:12:44.960 I want none of them anymore.

00:12:47.100 So if they're, they all, they're all sticky.

00:12:49.240 Their, their hands have like, they've been like eating a candy cane and then they get

00:12:55.260 the residue on their hands and everything's sticky.

00:12:58.240 And I just look, I want a vacation and this is the way I can get it.

00:13:02.720 So have you thought about maybe asking Santa for a vacation as opposed to killing all the

00:13:08.600 kids?

00:13:09.020 Oh, you mean the guy who's imprisoned me for a thousand years?

00:13:11.400 All right.

00:13:11.760 Okay.

00:13:12.180 Carl the elf.

00:13:13.180 Thank you very much.

00:13:14.280 Thank you.

00:13:14.880 I appreciate it.

00:13:15.880 Carl the elf.

00:13:16.560 Uh, gosh, it's, uh, too bad.

00:13:19.580 He can't stay every day.

00:13:21.200 You're out in the road in your car, carrying yourself and, uh, all those that you love back

00:13:25.500 and forth all over the place, hundreds of miles, maybe just to the grocery store and

00:13:29.980 back and then to the school and then back.

00:13:31.860 Like, I don't know how our wives or you as a parent do it.

00:13:37.980 I, my wife is in the car all the time, all the time going from here and there and here 1.00

00:13:44.520 and there.

00:13:44.980 She's never home.

00:13:45.980 Um, well, at least it keeps her, you know, out of her, out of her bathrobe and fuzzy 1.00

00:13:53.620 slippers, you know, sitting up there watching just general hospital or whatever else women

00:13:57.640 do these days.

00:13:58.760 Hard to believe she'd want to be gone all the time.

00:14:01.000 It's a surprising development.

00:14:02.900 Anyway, uh, if you have car problems, it is a real problem, especially now.

00:14:07.780 Uh, cars are, are so expensive.

00:14:11.460 Uh, never been like this before.

00:14:13.820 And now if you have a chip go down, you're in real trouble because I don't know if you're

00:14:20.880 going to be able to get that chip or when you're going to get it.

00:14:23.240 Do you, can you imagine how much it's going to cost if your car goes down and you can't

00:14:27.580 get something right away, how much you're going to spend just on a rental car?

00:15:01.300 Station ID.

00:15:01.800 Wow, Pat.

00:15:06.740 I was surprised by that elf.

00:15:08.760 Seemed a little angry.

00:15:09.800 Yeah.

00:15:10.300 Stu, you just, you just missed him.

00:15:12.360 He just left, I hope.

00:15:14.440 That's a short guy that walked out of here?

00:15:15.540 Yeah.

00:15:16.000 Boy, he was angry.

00:15:17.760 Jerk.

00:15:18.380 Yeah.

00:15:18.720 Stepped on my foot on the way out.

00:15:19.900 Did he really?

00:15:20.500 I think it was intentional.

00:15:21.480 Do you apologize?

00:15:22.320 No.

00:15:22.760 No.

00:15:23.000 Wow.

00:15:23.420 No, acted like he didn't even notice that he did it.

00:15:25.160 Do you think Santa knows about him?

00:15:27.320 Maybe we can call Santa a little later and talk to Santa kids.

00:15:33.260 Well, maybe kids wouldn't.

00:15:34.580 Let's just check with Santa before you tell the kids whether they should listen.

00:15:40.140 Anyway, there are some, there's some videos here that I'd like to show you and will describe

00:15:47.240 for radio listeners.

00:15:48.360 By the way, you can watch the podcast at blaze tv.com and of course, listen to it live.

00:15:55.160 And on demand at blaze tv.com.

00:15:57.340 But if you're listening to us now, thank you so much for, uh, for listening.

00:16:02.480 San Francisco, they are now, there's a new holiday tradition, leaving your car trunks and

00:16:09.720 your doors open.

00:16:12.040 Do we have the, do we have the video of this?

00:16:14.100 This is absolutely amazing.

00:16:16.440 Um, do we have it?

00:16:18.800 We see the aftermath of car break-ins all too often.

00:16:21.940 Windows smashed, glass shattered.

00:16:23.600 But now some people are getting so fed up.

00:16:26.280 They're leaving their trunks open.

00:16:28.600 Stop for a second.

00:16:29.660 Just pause this for a second.

00:16:30.980 Look at this.

00:16:31.820 This is, these cars are sitting here, uh, with their trunks open and they're just, they're

00:16:37.300 parked on the sides of the street, just in front of stores.

00:16:40.540 Yeah.

00:16:40.860 And they're hatch, they're like hatchbacks.

00:16:42.980 So like you could climb right into the front seat of the car from the back.

00:16:45.600 Like it's not like a trunk where you'd be stuck in the, in the back of it.

00:16:49.220 It's a hatchback.

00:16:49.420 This is insanity.

00:16:50.660 Yeah.

00:16:51.440 And cars side by side with their, with their tailgate.

00:16:54.300 They're open.

00:16:55.000 Yeah, hatchbacks open. 0.98

00:16:55.440 With their hatchback open.

00:16:56.460 Like if you were going to load something in.

00:16:58.440 Like come on in.

00:16:58.460 Because they're saying there's nothing in the car and if you want to steal it, please

00:17:02.080 just don't like break the glass.

00:17:03.680 Right.

00:17:04.080 Please just come in and steal whatever I have.

00:17:07.040 I just, I, this is insane.

00:17:09.880 We are, we are starting to accept things that are nuts.

00:17:15.360 Yeah.

00:17:16.080 This isn't America.

00:17:19.100 Let's open up some more jails. 0.99

00:17:21.200 And if you think it's, it's just these blue cities, I mean, it's, it's not.

00:17:26.500 I mean, there was, there was one of these smash and grab things right down the street from

00:17:29.560 where we're sitting just like two or three days ago.

00:17:31.920 Yeah.

00:17:32.040 That's because we're so close to a blue city though.

00:17:34.380 No, but I mean, it was, I don't know about that.

00:17:37.000 Oh yeah.

00:17:37.940 Dallas.

00:17:38.300 Our, our, our little space right here is really good.

00:17:42.320 My question was not whether we are close to Dallas.

00:17:44.820 I am, I am familiar with the geography.

00:17:47.240 Yeah.

00:17:47.560 My point is that this stuff.

00:17:48.440 I mean, it's run by Democrats too.

00:17:49.880 No, but it's, what I'm saying is this, it's not, it's coming to other areas.

00:17:54.180 Like the more it gets accepted in these blue areas, the more.

00:17:57.040 I want to go home.

00:17:57.780 I want to go home.

00:17:59.040 I want to go home.

00:18:01.660 I just, can we click our heels?

00:18:04.460 Is there anybody with me?

00:18:05.760 Can we just go back to sane places?

00:18:10.180 No.

00:18:10.780 I mean, unfortunately that has been ruled out.

00:18:14.320 That's good.

00:18:15.020 That's good.

00:18:16.420 Leaving your cars and truck and your trunks and your doors open.

00:18:20.280 Let's listen to the rest of this.

00:18:21.700 And the hefty bill to get it fixed.

00:18:26.320 Call it the price of parking in the Bay Area.

00:18:29.140 Bracing for a break-in.

00:18:30.620 Everything is broken.

00:18:31.860 People here at least try to be persuasive.

00:18:34.280 Writing, please use the door.

00:18:35.860 Or just flat out beg.

00:18:37.340 Please don't break the glass.

00:18:39.160 Nothing inside.

00:18:40.280 Yet it still happens.

00:18:41.880 Sadly, even while you're driving, just waiting for the light to turn green.

00:18:44.940 Oh my gosh.

00:18:45.600 This smash and grab happened two weeks ago in Japantown.

00:18:49.120 But now, it's come to this.

00:18:51.380 Trunks left open in broad daylight in Oakland.

00:18:54.240 A witness writing, imagine having to clean out your car and leaving it open.

00:18:58.020 Just so people won't break your windows.

00:19:00.880 Wow.

00:19:01.420 No.

00:19:02.700 No, thank you.

00:19:04.120 No, thank you.

00:19:06.180 That is, I mean, and please, if you live in the San Francisco Bay Area and you don't know what caused this,

00:19:12.020 please don't move to our states.

00:19:13.940 Don't come, don't come and move because you're sick of that if you don't know what caused this.

00:19:18.660 And what caused this?

00:19:21.120 You.

00:19:22.380 You and the way you vote.

00:19:24.420 Unless you haven't voted for any of this crap.

00:19:27.120 But if you voted for all of these people that are now doing all of these things, it's your fault.

00:19:34.000 Now, if you can come, I would like to have like a border station where you have to come and, well, I mean,

00:19:39.960 you know, something that's a little more effective than the one that we have on our southern border.

00:19:44.800 I would like one on the other three sides of Texas, where when you come in, we just go, where are you from?

00:19:52.360 California.

00:19:53.240 Uh-huh.

00:19:53.600 How'd you vote?

00:19:54.500 I voted for Gavin Newsom.

00:19:56.060 How do you feel about that?

00:19:58.020 Well, I mean, it just got so crazy there.

00:20:00.060 Get out.

00:20:00.780 Get out.

00:20:01.360 Yeah.

00:20:02.400 If you voted for defunding the police, if you voted for decriminalizing theft up to $1,000,

00:20:09.900 if you voted for the people who favor those things and implemented those policies, buh-bye.

00:20:16.040 Buh-bye. 0.98

00:20:17.480 And on the other side, if you are somebody who knows how insane this is, we all have to get together.

00:20:25.880 We all, it's time to move.

00:20:27.960 It really is.

00:20:28.920 It really is.

00:20:29.760 How many more times are you going to be told you're a bastard that wants to kill everybody because you're not wearing a mask?

00:20:37.900 Move.

00:20:38.540 It's time to move.

00:20:40.220 Because here's what happens.

00:20:41.740 They're doing this in Texas.

00:20:43.520 They are San Francisco-ing Austin.

00:20:46.620 And Austin has always been weird, but it is going to become San Francisco.

00:20:52.160 Houston, the same way.

00:20:53.900 Dallas, the same way.

00:20:55.140 And you know what really, really makes me angry is that these guys come in, these progressives come in, and they take all of the beautiful areas, all of the really great little towns, and then they just wreck them.

00:21:10.140 They just wreck them.

00:21:11.680 And they say, well, we're doing it.

00:21:13.360 You know, progress.

00:21:14.240 We're keeping. 0.92

00:21:14.820 Have you been to Jackson Hole lately, Pat?

00:21:17.240 No.

00:21:18.080 Jackson Hole, Wyoming?

00:21:19.040 Yeah.

00:21:19.400 No.

00:21:19.580 I drove through Jackson Hole.

00:21:21.440 You know, it used to be beautiful, just beautiful.

00:21:25.280 It is like New York City now.

00:21:27.800 I drove through on this.

00:21:29.000 Can I fact check this statement?

00:21:30.960 Yeah, yeah.

00:21:32.120 Anybody from Jackson Hole, anybody from Jackson Hole, tell me what your traffic is like.

00:21:36.840 Oh, okay.

00:21:37.280 It is, I was driving through Jackson Hole, and it was horrible, horrible, awful.

00:21:45.880 They just come and they just wreck all of the cities.

00:21:49.680 Stay where you are, unless you're somebody that understands the red states. 0.99

00:21:54.320 Then, can we start coming together?

00:21:56.520 Because we really need to, we need to, if we lose Texas, we lose forever.

00:22:02.780 What is your opinion on, like, let's call it the Dave Rubin standpoint?

00:22:07.740 Dave is, of course, here on Blaze TV.

00:22:09.780 He is leaving California, moving to Florida.

00:22:12.820 I think there's two ways to look at that, right?

00:22:14.920 Number one, I know I would do the same thing.

00:22:17.300 I would absolutely leave there.

00:22:18.580 But then there's an argument of, do you not stay and fight?

00:22:21.180 No.

00:22:21.960 You just leave and they get 100% control of all these states?

00:22:24.980 Because they're already starting to just destroy everything, and then even some of those

00:22:29.200 guys are moving out.

00:22:30.180 You know, when they really get down to, like, 25 people that can stand it, and one of them

00:22:35.140 is Gavin Newsom, and the other 25 are Nancy Pelosi and all the people that stock her refrigerator

00:22:41.680 with ice cream.

00:22:43.980 When you get there, then we all move to California and we fix it.

00:22:48.360 Because they'll all be living someplace else and wrecking it.

00:22:51.340 We'll just go take California back.

00:22:54.120 But now, get to safety.

00:22:57.520 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:23:00.180 You know, Patriot Mobile is a sponsor of ours, and I am very, very grateful for their

00:23:06.040 sponsorship.

00:23:07.120 They've been with us.

00:23:07.960 How many years have they been with us?

00:23:09.300 Five years, maybe?

00:23:10.600 At least, yeah.

00:23:11.360 They actually started as a way to fight back against the progressives.

00:23:16.820 They know the progressives.

00:23:18.200 They'll go to these companies like Verizon and everything else, and they'll just take them

00:23:21.940 over.

00:23:22.240 And then they'll take a lot of those profits, and the board will vote because they're all

00:23:26.560 progressives, and they'll fund Planned Parenthood and all these other things.

00:23:29.960 So they said two could play at that game.

00:23:33.000 The bigger they get, the bigger force they are for good for the First Amendment, Second 0.90

00:23:38.160 Amendment, all of the amendments.

00:23:39.660 It's PatriotMobile.com, 972-PATRIOT.

00:23:43.320 Now, they're on the same cell towers as everybody else, so you get the same great coverage, but

00:23:47.680 you're going to pay a fraction of the money that you pay right now.

00:23:52.320 And you'll be helping our cause, not hurting it.

00:23:55.560 We have to stand together.

00:23:58.060 PatriotMobile.com slash Beck.

00:24:00.060 That's PatriotMobile.com slash Beck, or call 972-PATRIOT.

00:24:06.340 Switch now.

00:24:13.660 All right, tonight's the night.

00:24:14.920 Stu Does America Christmas Party Power Hour.

00:24:17.000 Don't miss it.

00:24:17.660 Go to StuDoesPowerHour.com.

00:24:30.060 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:24:31.760 Merry Christmas.

00:24:32.600 17 gun firms are fleeing to friendlier states.

00:24:36.340 Now, that's what we're talking about.

00:24:38.240 That's what we're talking about.

00:24:39.620 By the way, Tennessee is getting a name of a place to go and, you know, find shelter in

00:24:46.940 the storm, except it's the place to go for those progressives that are trying to get out

00:24:52.360 of California and I don't think have learned their lesson as the place they want to go.

00:24:56.500 So, I'm not, I wouldn't count on Tennessee.

00:25:00.120 I also wouldn't count on Florida.

00:25:01.700 Florida is Florida only because it has Ron DeSantis.

00:25:06.680 Who won the election by 0.4%.

00:25:09.180 Yeah.

00:25:10.100 I mean, it's not exactly a lock.

00:25:11.200 And he's only allowed two terms.

00:25:13.880 So, in two terms, you could get, you know, Charlie Crist, which, hey, there's protection

00:25:19.480 for you.

00:25:20.040 One thing we can guarantee, he will be running again.

00:25:23.020 Because he runs in every available election.

00:25:25.140 He does.

00:25:26.500 So, you know, I was singing because I talked to Ron on Wednesday and I said to him, so

00:25:34.820 you only have two, you know, you only have two terms.

00:25:38.120 Yeah.

00:25:40.380 Have you thought about after your second term moving to Texas and running for governor in

00:25:45.980 Texas and you could just keep doing two terms in all of the states until they're fixed?

00:25:49.980 He said, don't count on it, but he would entertain it.

00:25:54.740 So, we got that going for us.

00:25:57.440 I wouldn't mind that.

00:25:58.700 I would not mind that.

00:25:59.600 He's been awesome.

00:26:01.840 He really is.

00:26:02.440 Free agent governors.

00:26:03.860 Yeah.

00:26:04.100 Like in sports.

00:26:04.940 I'd be okay with it.

00:26:05.560 You're signing like.

00:26:06.600 I'm okay with it.

00:26:07.440 Yes.

00:26:07.880 That would be an interesting process.

00:26:09.040 Signing with some fat contract and have him do it again here.

00:26:11.980 That'd be great.

00:26:13.020 A four-year, $82 million contract to come be governor of Texas.

00:26:17.440 Yes.

00:26:18.400 Texas is drafting Ron DeSantis.

00:26:21.720 That would be fine.

00:26:24.800 Except by then, he'll be president of the United States.

00:26:27.600 You think so?

00:26:28.280 Yeah, it's possible.

00:26:29.280 I think it's really possible.

00:26:30.220 If Trump doesn't run, I think it's going to be DeSantis.

00:26:33.120 Not a chance.

00:26:33.980 That he doesn't run?

00:26:34.840 That he doesn't run.

00:26:35.360 Yeah.

00:26:35.740 And you don't have that confirmed, because you did just meet with the guy.

00:26:39.280 So, are you revealing some news here?

00:26:41.540 Are you breaking his announcement?

00:26:42.660 Well, my producer was there on the side of the interview, Ricky, and she looks at me

00:26:52.040 towards the end, and she's like, follow up, follow up, follow up, follow up.

00:26:57.460 And I'm like, I don't know what you're talking about.

00:26:58.780 I don't know what you're talking about.

00:26:59.840 Now, is this part of the Hall of Fame induction process when you just miss it?

00:27:03.420 It is.

00:27:03.440 She's like this? 0.99

00:27:03.860 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:27:06.400 And I listened back to it, and I didn't miss it.

00:27:11.080 I don't interpret it the same way.

00:27:13.140 However, you could interpret it as, absolutely, he's saying he's going to run.

00:27:19.300 Because he says, towards the end of the interview, he says, clearly, well, we're going to take

00:27:25.360 care of that.

00:27:26.060 I'll just take care of that next time.

00:27:28.340 Oh, wow.

00:27:29.060 Okay.

00:27:30.200 Plus, he said, I think you're going to be happy to people who are fans of his and who

00:27:35.540 want him to run.

00:27:36.900 And he keeps telling those people who interview him, and I think you're going to be happy about

00:27:40.740 my choice.

00:27:41.960 Well, he's running.

00:27:42.740 What does that mean?

00:27:43.380 He's running.

00:27:44.120 He's running.

00:27:44.940 There's no doubt.

00:27:46.040 And he's not running.

00:27:47.280 This was surprising to me in some regard, because I thought, there's no way Donald Trump

00:27:55.360 is going to leave with an L in the column.

00:27:57.220 No way.

00:27:58.260 He's going to come back.

00:27:59.400 Yeah.

00:28:00.380 However, that's not it.

00:28:01.760 I really was impressed on, he loves the people who voted for him.

00:28:07.640 Yeah.

00:28:08.000 And he loves his country.

00:28:09.360 I believe.

00:28:09.940 He loves the country.

00:28:10.700 He loves this nation.

00:28:11.640 He really feels he can fix it.

00:28:13.640 And he sees the destruction being done by this administration.

00:28:17.140 Yeah.

00:28:17.980 So I think that is, I think that's really good.

00:28:21.660 By the way, can I play cut nine?

00:28:23.600 This is from the interview.

00:28:26.480 You can find it on the blaze right now.

00:28:29.520 I think maybe this weekend, maybe it's going up on YouTube.

00:28:32.720 I'm not sure.

00:28:33.720 But here's Ron DeSantis talking about his stop woke act.

00:28:38.440 Listen to this cut nine.

00:28:42.100 Or is this from yesterday?

00:28:43.100 We just did an event today rolling out a new piece of legislation called the stop woke

00:28:47.460 act.

00:28:48.060 And what we're doing is we already had our state department of education prohibit critical

00:28:53.400 race theory in our K through 12 schools.

00:28:55.680 But I think we've seen that sometimes schools will do what they want.

00:28:58.680 So we're giving parents a private right of action where they could go in and sue if this

00:29:03.300 is happening, get discovery and get attorney's fees.

00:29:06.100 And the parents are really happy about that and really excited that they have a role again

00:29:10.780 in Florida.

00:29:11.620 We have a parent's bill of rights.

00:29:13.100 We were one of the first states to pass it to where we say parents have the primary

00:29:17.380 obligation and responsibility for the health, education and upbringing of their kids.

00:29:22.840 It's interesting.

00:29:23.820 And that Virginia governor's race, you had the Democrats say parents shouldn't really

00:29:27.700 have a role in what goes on in school.

00:29:29.760 People said that that was a mistake.

00:29:31.900 But I was actually evincing what they actually believe.

00:29:35.140 The left believes that this is the province of unions and bureaucracies and that parents

00:29:40.640 are really a sideshow in all of this.

00:29:42.860 And I think that view has been totally exploded now.

00:29:46.820 And so parents are on the march.

00:29:48.600 And I think that that's something very, very positive.

00:29:50.940 Glenn, people will talk about, hey, win the Congress back, win this.

00:29:54.800 And I think all those are important.

00:29:56.220 But if I could have one thing politically, one political wish granted, I would want conservative

00:30:01.000 majorities on every school board in the country.

00:30:03.400 That would have a profound positive impact on our education system, our society and our

00:30:08.920 culture.

00:30:09.360 I really like him because he has the Donald Trump attitude where he'll go in front of

00:30:15.060 Brandon car dealership in Brandon, Florida, and then just give a speech.

00:30:20.580 I, you know, I kind of appreciate that.

00:30:22.900 But he's also very reasoned and very well thought out, very well thought out.

00:30:31.340 But he's not going to run.

00:30:32.740 I think he's going to run for governor.

00:30:35.440 Trump is going to run for president.

00:30:37.000 And then you'll see him again in 28.

00:30:41.140 It's been kind of interesting.

00:30:42.420 There's a little thing of VP for Ron.

00:30:45.380 Don't think he'll take it.

00:30:46.340 You don't think he'll take it.

00:30:47.120 Don't think he'd take it.

00:30:47.820 I don't know if it would be offered, but I don't think he would want it.

00:30:50.360 Well, you don't, we don't, we don't think he's going back to Pence, right?

00:30:54.080 No.

00:30:54.900 So where is he going there?

00:30:56.580 Done.

00:30:57.160 Yeah.

00:30:57.340 It does seem like they're done.

00:30:58.720 And he's, I think Trump is a little upset with DeSantis because DeSantis hasn't said he

00:31:05.220 won't run yet.

00:31:06.380 And he doesn't want to close that door before he knows what Trump is going to do.

00:31:09.940 Yeah.

00:31:10.080 I think if Trump doesn't run, he'll run.

00:31:12.520 He'll run.

00:31:12.960 If Trump does run, I don't think DeSantis will.

00:31:15.960 I agree with that.

00:31:16.780 There's some reporting that basically all of the major rumored candidates.

00:31:20.360 Have gone to Donald Trump and said, if you run, I'm not going to run, including the

00:31:25.100 reporting was including DeSantis.

00:31:27.100 However, DeSantis was the one guy who was not saying it publicly or like these other

00:31:31.860 candidates are like, look, if Donald Trump runs, then, uh, then I won't be running or

00:31:35.520 at least are insinuating.

00:31:37.240 DeSantis has not yet said that.

00:31:38.280 DeSantis has not said that.

00:31:39.300 And I think that would be foolish.

00:31:41.400 If Donald Trump is running, Donald Trump will, I mean, he crushes everyone, crushes everyone.

00:31:46.500 And he'll, he not only will win, he will destroy you so that you're, you're, we have

00:31:51.500 nothing left.

00:31:52.340 That's not good.

00:31:53.240 Yeah, that's not good.

00:31:54.680 We need people like DeSantis, uh, because Trump only has four years.

00:31:58.920 And I talked about this.

00:32:00.320 My interview with Donald Trump is happening when we get back in January, first week of

00:32:04.600 January.

00:32:04.960 You don't want to miss it.

00:32:06.040 Um, but I talked to him about what needs to be done.

00:32:09.460 Uh, and I said, let me just give you a list of the agencies that need to be cleaned out.

00:32:16.600 I mean, fire everybody.

00:32:19.060 Um, and it, you know, it's almost every agency.

00:32:22.560 And I said, how are you going to do that in four years?

00:32:25.480 He said, Oh, we'll, we'll, we'll get it done.

00:32:27.820 We'll get it done.

00:32:28.880 He says, it's just going to take, um, focus and just courage to just keep on going.

00:32:35.060 Big time courage, big time courage.

00:32:37.040 Cause you're going to get such pushback from all sides, from everybody, from all sides.

00:32:41.380 Yeah.

00:32:41.600 And he said, that's why 2022 is so important.

00:32:44.700 Cause he needs people who know it's time to abolish.

00:32:49.080 Cause I asked him, it's a time to abolish the department of ed.

00:32:53.460 And, uh, I think you'll like his answer.

00:32:56.620 Um, but, uh, it's going to take, I said, are you going to do this?

00:33:00.940 If you have Mitch McConnell and all that was the wrong thing to say.

00:33:03.480 Cause he went off on Mitch McConnell.

00:33:05.800 He does not like Mitch McConnell.

00:33:09.220 I don't either.

00:33:10.260 I don't either.

00:33:10.920 I don't either.

00:33:12.340 We never have.

00:33:13.540 I mean, we tried to get him beaten by Matt Bevin years ago.

00:33:16.920 If you remember correctly, what was that?

00:33:18.540 2010.

00:33:20.480 Yeah.

00:33:21.300 In Kentucky and couldn't quite get it done, but, uh, would have been great.

00:33:25.720 Bevin of course went on to be governor of the state and then lost in a very close election.

00:33:29.740 I wonder how Kentucky feels about that since.

00:33:32.220 Oh my gosh.

00:33:32.880 I don't think very good having Bevin as the governor of how different things would be in

00:33:37.800 Kentucky, especially through COVID.

00:33:39.580 I mean, you know, to have a Democrat governor through that in that type of state, which is

00:33:43.320 clearly a red state that, that it was, that was rough on those people.

00:33:47.060 Let me quickly get to the podcast that is being released today for blaze TV.

00:33:52.140 It came out last night.

00:33:53.100 It's Andrew Yang.

00:33:54.220 Now I've been trying to have Andrew Yang on for a long time because I think he's a reasonable

00:33:58.740 guy.

00:33:59.240 He, he believes in things I don't believe in, for instance, UBI, but the discussion is

00:34:06.540 incredibly important because things are changing.

00:34:10.360 And if you know anything about what is coming our way, uh, you know, in the future with tech,

00:34:16.780 this kind of disruption that we've seen with COVID is only the beginning.

00:34:21.940 Uh, and so this is why he's for UBI.

00:34:24.840 And we talked about that here is, uh, what is it?

00:34:27.680 Cut, uh, eight.

00:34:29.440 I really disagree with UBI, but I see exactly the same problems on the horizon that you do.

00:34:37.000 And I don't have a better answer.

00:34:39.240 So I want to hear, I want to be able to talk to you about UBI as somebody who thinks it's

00:34:47.200 a horrible idea, but I also know what's on the other side.

00:34:51.940 Yeah.

00:34:52.560 What else could we do?

00:34:54.320 Can you explain the problem of why we would need a UBI?

00:34:59.220 I have a lot of friends who work in Silicon Valley, uh, tech entrepreneurs, venture capitalists,

00:35:06.240 and 95% of them are convinced that artificial intelligence is going to wipe out millions of

00:35:13.860 jobs in industries around the country.

00:35:16.480 And an obvious one that most people will understand and have direct experience with.

00:35:20.660 There are 2 million Americans who work in call centers right now, picking up the phone,

00:35:24.760 customer service, uh, and Google's AI now can do that job better.

00:35:30.880 Maybe right now as we're having this conversation.

00:35:35.780 And so if Google's AI ends up sweeping away hundreds of thousands of jobs, what do those

00:35:42.500 families do?

00:35:44.160 The scenario I was warning about on the campaign trail was imagine autonomous, uh, cars and

00:35:53.300 trucks where, when you call Uber, just an Uber shows up.

00:35:57.160 And that is going to happen.

00:35:59.480 That will happen.

00:36:01.180 Yeah, that, that will happen.

00:36:02.940 Uh, to the extent that there are impediments in that direction, a lot of them are regulatory,

00:36:07.560 you know?

00:36:08.520 And, and one of the things that you're going to see, Glenn, is that certain industries,

00:36:12.660 let's call them doctors, are going to lobby very actively saying, no, no, no.

00:36:18.300 Like you can't have a lot of surgery.

00:36:20.120 Doctors, doctors were the ones who came out against anesthesia in the 1800s because they

00:36:26.840 were not good.

00:36:28.560 You were based, if you did surgery, the best doctors were the fastest doctors.

00:36:36.120 And so when anesthesia came, now you could finesse.

00:36:39.780 Well, those guys who were really fast were not necessarily the best and they campaigned

00:36:44.560 against anesthesia.

00:36:45.980 That's the problem is, and that's where government always gets involved and says, well, now, wait

00:36:51.240 a minute, we'll make the, no, let it change.

00:36:55.380 Let the process work its way through.

00:36:59.220 Stop protecting industries that are dying.

00:37:01.840 I, I, I bet you believe by 2030, maybe 2035, people will say, yeah, yeah, doc, but what did

00:37:12.060 the machine say?

00:37:13.260 What did the computer say?

00:37:14.720 What did the AI say?

00:37:16.840 Because it will be better at diagnosis than the average really good doctor.

00:37:22.860 Right or wrong?

00:37:24.440 His answer is fascinating.

00:37:26.140 He's also the only guy that I have heard answer the Section 230 thing.

00:37:32.220 Satisfactory.

00:37:32.900 Uh, he's the only one that has a real, actual cure to the problem of these big, big tech companies

00:37:43.460 that doesn't involve breaking them up, doesn't involve Section 230.

00:37:48.120 It is, I think, the only right answer I've ever heard.

00:37:53.420 Uh, Andrew Yang.

00:37:54.680 It's the podcast.

00:37:55.660 It's available everywhere.

00:39:18.840 Code BECK35.

00:39:21.760 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:39:27.100 This is crazy.

00:39:29.020 Okay, if you live in Massachusetts and you voted for the animal welfare law, I think you

00:39:35.280 should have to stay in Massachusetts.

00:39:37.420 I don't want you in Texas.

00:39:39.140 I don't want you anywhere where freedom exists.

00:39:41.600 Massachusetts voters passed the animal welfare law, which effectively now bans eggs from being

00:39:49.380 sold in the state.

00:39:50.960 They overwhelmingly passed an animal treatment measure that in part makes it illegal to sell

00:39:57.820 eggs born of hens with less than 1.5 square feet of floor space in the enclosure.

00:40:03.580 So it comes into effect 2022, which is, oh, in three weeks.

00:40:10.060 And that's 90% of all eggs.

00:40:12.500 Correct.

00:40:13.380 So they're now saying that if they don't change this, you're not going to be able to have eggs

00:40:21.220 in Boston and in Massachusetts.

00:40:24.540 And I say good.

00:40:28.200 There's nothing like that will change policies more than reaping the results of them.

00:40:32.980 But look at San Francisco.

00:40:34.360 So they're basically trying to make this where you have to have like free range eggs, right?

00:40:38.660 Is that essentially the aim of this policy?

00:40:40.900 I think that's the aim of it.

00:40:41.680 Yeah.

00:40:42.000 But you can't treat animals better.

00:40:43.740 Right.

00:40:43.940 And that's good.

00:40:45.120 And I'd love for that to happen.

00:40:47.160 But you can't when you're buying most of your eggs, like Massachusetts is from Connecticut.

00:40:52.580 They don't have the space for that.

00:40:54.360 You're just you don't have it.

00:40:56.400 You don't have it there.

00:40:57.620 They didn't pass the law in Connecticut.

00:40:59.260 So those farms aren't changing.

00:41:01.340 And now they're going to they're calling it egg Armageddon.

00:41:06.860 Egg McGeddon.

00:41:07.720 Egg McGeddon.

00:41:09.060 They're they're saying this is an absolute Armageddon for eggs in Massachusetts.

00:41:16.240 Sounds funny to say.

00:41:17.260 It does.

00:41:17.640 And it happens in a couple of weeks.

00:41:18.940 And I say good.

00:41:21.080 Good.

00:41:22.980 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:41:25.260 Thanks, Hillary.

00:41:25.940 Right now, somebody might be out there looking at your house and thinking it looks exactly

00:41:29.800 like something they'd like to have for themselves.

00:41:32.180 The holiday season, people get presents.

00:41:34.260 Maybe your house is one of them.

00:41:35.360 Bad news is, of course, there are ways to make that happen nowadays with cybercrime and

00:41:41.020 someone who's pretty savvy on the Internet, which is why you need home title lock.

00:41:45.200 The fraud happens when a criminal forges your signature on documents stating that you sold

00:41:50.220 your home to them and then you need to take out some loans against your equity, leave you

00:41:54.980 with the payments.

00:41:55.820 It's it's a nice it's it's a nice gig, I guess, if you can get it very, very illegal,

00:42:00.760 but you can make a lot of money in a short period of time.

00:42:03.420 And if you're the homeowner, you're going to spend a fortune in legal fees trying to

00:42:07.080 prove you didn't commit fraud.

00:42:08.580 Good luck with that.

00:42:09.580 Home title lock puts a barrier around your home's title.

00:42:12.460 The instant they detect from a cyber thief to even like a disgruntled relative trying

00:42:18.100 to forge their way onto your home's title, they can help shut it down for you.

00:42:21.680 If you value your home and your peace of mind, the best thing you can do is get home

00:42:25.380 title lock.

00:42:25.980 Go to home title lock dot com.

00:42:27.820 Register your address and see if you're already a victim.

00:42:34.900 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:43:01.940 this is the Glenn Beck program.

00:43:08.520 Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

00:43:11.600 It is Friday, and there is a good friend of ours who has just put out a book that says

00:43:19.820 pretty much, let me get the exact title here.

00:43:23.440 I'm going to click out and get over here.

00:43:25.640 My gosh, when will technology just follow me, please?

00:43:29.520 Uh, it is, um, do what you believe or you're not going to be free to believe it much longer.

00:43:39.340 Steve Dace, a truth bomb in 60 seconds.

00:43:45.240 If you ever bought or sold a home, you're probably aware of the particular phenomenon where every

00:43:54.460 now and then you can just stop up and look at the ceiling and say, could I just have a

00:43:59.700 day where something goes right?

00:44:02.540 It's frustrating playing around in the real estate game.

00:44:05.060 Half the time, you don't even know what you don't know.

00:44:08.020 And that's why when it comes to picking a real estate agent, you need somebody who's not

00:44:12.220 only going to be able to guide you through the best practices, but also never is never

00:44:18.940 more than a touch of a button away from whatever sort of problem that you have.

00:44:24.020 They have the solution for it.

00:44:25.620 They have every expert you need right on their phone.

00:44:31.740 You get the best bang for the buck when you're buying or you're selling.

00:44:36.420 How do you find that real estate agent?

00:44:44.700 Steve Dace, Blaze TV show host, the Steve Dace Show, which follows this program every

00:44:55.460 day on the Blaze TV radio and television network.

00:44:58.760 Steve, how are you, sir?

00:45:00.320 Good morning to you guys.

00:45:01.720 Merry Christmas to everybody.

00:45:02.700 Thanks for having me, brother.

00:45:03.480 Are you in the Christmas mood?

00:45:04.960 You probably are.

00:45:06.140 I've been in a Christmas mood since, well, I'm a Christmas flap, and I've been in a Christmas

00:45:11.900 mood since about three seconds after Halloween.

00:45:14.140 That's when Christmas begins for me, November 1st.

00:45:16.120 See, I'm usually that way.

00:45:17.240 I'm just, I don't know.

00:45:18.940 We've had so many bad things happen with our family.

00:45:21.480 I'm going on vacation, and I just don't believe it.

00:45:24.020 I won't believe it until I'm back.

00:45:26.660 Because I said to everybody, nobody's answering the phones.

00:45:29.560 No phones.

00:45:30.580 No internet.

00:45:31.400 Everyone, the entire United States could burn to the ground, and no one is to recognize

00:45:37.540 it until we are off of vacation.

00:45:41.980 Amen.

00:45:42.720 Sounds like you have teenagers.

00:45:44.140 I feel the same.

00:45:45.280 Yeah.

00:45:46.800 Yes, I do.

00:45:47.860 My wife said to me, I had a dream last night.

00:45:50.360 She woke up, and she said today, I had this weirdest dream.

00:45:54.740 I dreamt that we had a lion in the house.

00:45:57.360 And I said, we do.

00:45:58.960 It's called our teenager.

00:46:01.980 But anyway, Steve, you have a new book out, Do What You Believe, or you won't be free to

00:46:07.760 believe it much longer.

00:46:08.740 Tell me about it.

00:46:09.300 The last year, you know, on our show here on Blaze TV, we kind of have a theme for the

00:46:15.920 show every year.

00:46:16.540 And the theme for our show this year was that the answer is us, that if we want to turn around

00:46:21.840 the direction of this, just sitting around and waiting to vote ourselves out of it isn't

00:46:25.740 going to be sufficient.

00:46:26.600 And we're going to have to learn some of the old arts of resistance and noncompliance and

00:46:32.140 civil disobedience that the founding generations of the country perfected in order to found

00:46:36.220 us.

00:46:36.460 And what's transpired as the year has gone on, and it's become more and more clear that

00:46:42.460 the political system, unless you happen to be governed by Ron DeSantis or a handful of

00:46:46.980 other people, is largely ineffective or unwilling to confront the authoritarianism that is beyond

00:46:53.560 creeping now.

00:46:54.700 It's a shadow that is threatening to overtake us.

00:46:57.300 We're going to have to do this.

00:46:58.760 And you've seen it recently.

00:47:00.380 I mean, just a few months ago, the airlines, Southwest and American Airlines, were facing unprecedented

00:47:04.760 shutdowns and cancellations because of pilots and employees failing, refusing to go along

00:47:09.740 with their jab mandates.

00:47:10.760 And now those CEOs are now saying, we shouldn't even be wearing masks on plane anymore.

00:47:15.600 It's amazing how the turntable's here in a few days, right?

00:47:18.620 Yeah.

00:47:18.760 You look at the Jussie Smollett, the Kyle Rittenhouse cases.

00:47:22.120 Those are cases where in our current political media industrial complex, the truth was unattainable

00:47:28.100 to achieve.

00:47:29.200 Yet when facts and evidences are presented to regular people that are sober minded and not

00:47:34.740 filtered through those mechanisms, suddenly we get to a place of truth and justice.

00:47:39.820 And I think that shows that really the answer we're looking for here are people who understand

00:47:45.400 where their rights come from, which is God.

00:47:47.460 We understand that America, as Chesterton said, is the only country ever founded upon a 0.99

00:47:51.900 creed.

00:47:52.720 And that ultimately, stop waiting for some magic savior with an R after his name to show

00:47:58.100 up and outsource your citizenship to him or her.

00:48:01.480 But to take these matters peaceably, but confrontationally into our own hands with the mechanisms we have.

00:48:08.620 And that's what our book lays out is a battle plan for doing exactly that.

00:48:12.160 Yeah.

00:48:12.380 Some of the chapters.

00:48:13.880 First, we have to correct some stinking thinking.

00:48:15.380 Can the Declaration of Independence choose this day the inconvenient truth about America,

00:48:20.780 which is what?

00:48:22.320 That we're far worse off than we think.

00:48:24.900 That what transpired the last year and a half didn't break or wreck anything.

00:48:29.500 It's a harvest of things that were already broken and wrecked.

00:48:32.840 So that the forces that want to really undo them, what we're really talking about here

00:48:37.140 is the unraveling and undoing of Western civilization.

00:48:40.260 You know, I'm really essentially.

00:48:41.540 Go ahead.

00:48:42.000 Don't go.

00:48:42.420 Go.

00:48:43.280 No, I mean, that which is essentially been a, you know, a 500 post-reformational understanding

00:48:49.920 of the world in the Judeo-Christian context of how to conduct human affairs, where rights

00:48:56.520 come from, where good and evil come from, who defines that, what institutions are in charge

00:49:01.240 of such endeavors, the role of family, et cetera.

00:49:04.060 What we're really up against is a complete and total unraveling of that.

00:49:07.700 That's why a lot of the theories and morals that the opposition articulates that they call

00:49:13.700 progressive, they're not progressive.

00:49:15.400 This is paganism. 0.66

00:49:16.560 This is a pre-Judeo-Christian understanding of the world. 0.97

00:49:19.760 And they're really regressive.

00:49:21.400 They want to take us back to the Dark Ages, all right?

00:49:24.080 So that even things like gender distinctions are all but gone and erased.

00:49:27.980 And that, that, that, those are the stakes we're playing for here.

00:49:31.420 And it's not as if we just got up one day and we're like, holy cow, how did we get to

00:49:35.040 this place?

00:49:35.760 We were actually creeping to this place for a long time.

00:49:39.000 We were complacent.

00:49:39.880 We did not confront it.

00:49:41.080 And now we're in the position now where it's here.

00:49:43.620 It's spectacular.

00:49:44.320 And it has us cornered.

00:49:45.500 That's the inconvenient truth.

00:49:47.020 So, um, uh, you know, I've been worried about this for a while.

00:49:49.880 Um, you know, if, if you look back at Germany, Germany lost all of its, uh, all of its icons,

00:49:57.060 all of the, you know, even the Eagle, uh, of Germany, uh, was lost in the twenties and

00:50:02.900 it was lost for about 10 to 15 years.

00:50:06.200 Then Hitler came in and he twisted all of those symbols. 0.99

00:50:10.060 So the iron Eagle came back, but it wasn't the same.

00:50:13.540 Um, and I kind of feel like this is happening to us in real time.

00:50:19.220 We are slowly forgetting everything.

00:50:23.500 We, you know, we're, we're, we're living our life in such a way now because of COVID in

00:50:31.400 many places, we would have never, we would have never thought we would do this.

00:50:36.480 Now we're just doing it and we don't even notice it anymore.

00:50:39.860 It's just kind of like, yeah, that's the way life is.

00:50:41.800 That's very dangerous.

00:50:43.540 See, this is why what you just described is why we have this phenomenon right now with

00:50:48.600 people like Dave Chappelle, with people like Bill Maher, um, with, with people like Andrew

00:50:53.080 Sullivan.

00:50:53.580 I mean, Andrew, Andrew Sullivan's the Bill Buckley of the gay rights movement.

00:50:57.100 It was its first respected celebrity intellectual.

00:51:01.060 He can't get booked on CNN or MSNBC anymore.

00:51:03.620 Why?

00:51:04.440 Because if you go read half of Andrew Sullivan's Twitter feed every day, it, about half of it

00:51:09.000 is stuff I would tweet.

00:51:09.840 And I'm the guy that puts the fun in fundamentalism.

00:51:12.040 Okay.

00:51:12.140 Because what, what, what, what happened is a lot of the old liberals thought that they

00:51:18.420 were just freeing themselves from our gods.

00:51:21.360 And what they're learning is that the new leftist actually all along intended to introduce the

00:51:27.200 new gods instead.

00:51:28.740 Okay.

00:51:29.220 So no, you're not going to free your conscience from the mandates, the biblical, the mandates

00:51:34.100 of the 10 commandments or what the Bible preaches or traditional Judeo-Christian understanding.

00:51:39.040 You're at, we're actually just removing those restraints.

00:51:41.860 So we can put the new restraints in instead.

00:51:44.820 So you really didn't get rid of some form of what you viewed as theocratic authoritarianism.

00:51:50.580 You actually just set the stage and helped us bring in real theocratic authoritarianism.

00:51:56.280 It's just all going to be that the power emanates from the state.

00:51:59.060 And this is why we're now finding some strange bedfellows from some of these old liberals who

00:52:04.300 are like, wait a minute, I thought I had a right to my own conscience.

00:52:07.580 And it was really those Christians and those, and those conservative Jews who were stopping

00:52:11.780 me from fully actualizing that.

00:52:14.280 And now what they're learning is you don't have a right to your own conscience.

00:52:17.060 At least with us, we were, we were willing to argue with you how far your right to conscience

00:52:21.200 could go, but that you at least had one.

00:52:23.060 With the new left, you don't have those rights anymore.

00:52:25.840 You must comply.

00:52:26.840 There is no individuality.

00:52:28.740 It's why Dave Rubin's not gay anymore. 0.87

00:52:30.960 He might as well change his name to Donald Trump.

00:52:32.960 Okay.

00:52:33.580 It's why Jason Whitlock's not black anymore. 0.81

00:52:36.160 He might as well change his name to Steve Bace or Glenn Beck, because it's not about any

00:52:40.180 of those identities we were sold before.

00:52:42.160 It was about a means to an end to use those things in order to deconstruct the old ways

00:52:48.000 so we could introduce to you the new one.

00:52:50.420 So that's why it's so important to me that we're reaching out.

00:52:53.140 I just did an interview with Andrew Yang.

00:52:55.180 Uh, there's a lot I disagree with Andrew Yang on, but there's a lot I, I agree with him

00:53:00.980 on.

00:53:01.340 And these intellectuals that have had been part of this movement to the left, they're now

00:53:09.140 saying, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:53:11.080 Uh, uh, not, not here.

00:53:13.200 This is, I agree with the bill of rights.

00:53:15.540 These are the people now finally coming to the table that we can disagree with and, you

00:53:22.060 know, not have to round one, you know, one side or the other up in the end.

00:53:26.640 Uh, and I think it's really important that we welcome this diversity to the right because

00:53:33.220 there you want to talk about a very small tent.

00:53:36.000 It's the left.

00:53:38.400 I agree because I also don't think that the traditional political Venn diagram is applicable

00:53:43.840 at the moment where we aren't having a direction, an argument about the direction of the country.

00:53:50.000 We're having an argument about whether to have a country.

00:53:53.160 Okay.

00:53:53.900 What is a border?

00:53:55.280 What is a citizen?

00:53:56.440 What's a boy?

00:53:57.360 What's a girl? 0.94

00:53:58.320 What's a team?

00:53:59.280 What's a law?

00:54:00.360 What's anything we're, we're, we're up against a movement that is, that really transcends

00:54:05.440 politics.

00:54:06.040 It is a rival religion, uh, and it behaves in very cultic ways.

00:54:11.540 That's why there's not a lot of critical thinking, but a lot of group thinking with

00:54:14.600 talking points instead.

00:54:16.100 It's what I've kind of dubbed on my show to use an old stained glass window term.

00:54:20.040 I call it the spirit of the age.

00:54:21.520 And that's why there's so much zealotry, so much fervor.

00:54:24.840 That's why they see a lot.

00:54:26.580 These people that are caught up in this, sadly, when they speak to you, that they can't

00:54:30.080 critically think or reason with you.

00:54:32.580 Uh, it's because they have given up on reason and have essentially just glommed onto a, a

00:54:38.740 cultic spirit of the age that they think is ultimate truth is a form of salvation.

00:54:45.100 This is absolutely spiritual.

00:54:47.340 And, and that's why, you know, we run a, we run a great promotion for our colleague,

00:54:51.740 Allie Stuckey on our commercials here on blaze TV.

00:54:55.060 And she keeps saying this line.

00:54:56.760 And I always hear her say, uh, these people, they absolutely think they're the good guys.

00:55:00.560 They do.

00:55:01.360 They think that they're the, that they're here to deliver us, that, that we're the ones

00:55:05.420 that are misbegotten, that we are the, that, that we are the mis, you know, that we are

00:55:09.620 the troglodytes here unevolved.

00:55:11.280 And so this idea that there could be a national divorce and our states go their way and their

00:55:15.840 state, no, no, no, no, folks, they think that they need to save us from going our own way.

00:55:21.620 And so that's why what we're really talking about now is authoritarianism versus liberty.

00:55:26.580 That's really the paradigm now.

00:55:28.840 And, and, and that, that's why there is ability for us to work with people that we have a whole

00:55:33.900 host of disagreements on.

00:55:35.140 And I don't plan on changing my mind on most of those things anytime soon, but right now

00:55:39.900 we're having a fight, Glenn, am I entitled to have my own mind?

00:55:44.140 See, that is the thing that, you know, I, I keep starting in conversations with people

00:55:50.020 that I know I'm going to disagree with, with this.

00:55:52.820 Do you believe in the bill of rights as written?

00:55:57.360 You give me nine of those, you know, first 10, do you agree with the bill of rights?

00:56:03.320 If you do, then all we're usually talking about are policies and that's normal.

00:56:09.740 It goes back to you saying, you know, what is a law?

00:56:12.620 What is a nation?

00:56:13.800 What is a border?

00:56:15.560 If you understand the bill of rights that gave us the playing field and it gave us, this

00:56:21.920 is all out of bounds.

00:56:23.120 Well, nothing is out of bounds right now.

00:56:25.460 And I'm, you know, I'm, I can argue policies, but we are not talking about those.

00:56:31.800 Now it's not really about spending.

00:56:34.340 It's about, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

00:56:37.080 You are spending and building a structure for an entirely different system and you're not

00:56:42.040 including us in it.

00:56:43.380 That's exactly right.

00:56:44.900 This is, this isn't political.

00:56:46.520 It's spiritual and it's not cultural.

00:56:49.100 It's existential.

00:56:50.860 These, this is, this is a completely new, fundamentally new way of life.

00:56:56.740 Yes, it is.

00:56:57.260 And, and, and, and, and, and, and this is the end of Mel Gibson's apocalypto and neither

00:57:01.940 side can agree on who the savages are.

00:57:04.560 Okay.

00:57:05.480 So one belief system, this is, you know, it's a worldview steel cage match.

00:57:09.820 Now, two of them have entered.

00:57:11.700 Only one of them is coming out and either we are going to be permitted the luxury of going

00:57:17.820 back to those culture war political issues that, that we thought at the time were existential

00:57:23.840 and, you know, so serious.

00:57:25.880 And now we've reached a whole different meta level and realized kind of seems pretty trite

00:57:29.900 compared to what we're talking about now.

00:57:31.600 Either we're going to be afforded the luxury of returning to that political paradigm and

00:57:37.240 then being angry at the Andrew Yangs of the world again, or we're not going to have a

00:57:41.740 country.

00:57:42.140 Those are really the stakes.

00:57:44.420 So Steve, if you would have talked to me two months ago, I would have been very, very

00:57:49.680 pessimistic.

00:57:51.420 Then Afghanistan happened and I saw people stand up. 0.50

00:57:54.640 Then the school boards started to be flipped.

00:57:58.260 Now people are starting to say, you know, shut up Fauci.

00:58:02.640 I'm starting to see that spirit of America come back.

00:58:06.400 Are you optimistic?

00:58:07.480 I'm optimistic.

00:58:09.160 I'm optimistic.

00:58:10.300 I'm more optimistic.

00:58:11.420 I don't know.

00:58:12.220 I'm a total depravity kind of guy.

00:58:13.740 So I don't know that I'm ever actually optimistic.

00:58:15.620 Okay.

00:58:15.800 But I am, I am more optimistic than I was a few months ago.

00:58:19.940 Yes.

00:58:20.800 That I do think that there there's, here's how I would define it.

00:58:24.720 We don't have as many people, um, uh, as, as we probably need, but we have more people

00:58:31.400 right now, but we have more people than the system can tolerate at the same time. 0.97

00:58:35.020 And so that's where we can build a groundswell of momentum here.

00:58:39.440 And I think there's a window here that we can use things like mass resistance, noncompliance.

00:58:45.840 New York state right now, I believe has 40 of 62 counties that are refusing to enforce

00:58:50.980 or implement the new governor's attempt to return to COVID stands.

00:58:54.220 Fantastic.

00:58:54.860 Fantastic.

00:58:56.060 See, that's what we're talking about is, is who they can issue all the decrees that they

00:59:00.740 want.

00:59:01.340 The school board doesn't have a Sergeant at arms.

00:59:03.800 OSHA with the jab mandate doesn't have police officers that they can come arrest you.

00:59:08.460 If your company won't enforce it, if enough people refuse to, uh, to comply, these things

00:59:14.520 become unenforceable.

00:59:16.000 They, they, they're trying to impose these things through infrastructures that don't have

00:59:20.300 enforcement mechanisms that we've just relied on yet.

00:59:23.740 They've just relied on us to go along with it.

00:59:26.140 And, and we need to show them that it will be painful for you to try to inflict these things

00:59:32.040 on us, that this pain will not be a one-sided transaction any longer.

00:59:35.920 Just like you want to inflict pain on us.

00:59:37.980 We will return the pain on you for trying to inflict it.

00:59:41.760 Steve Dace, uh, blaze TV host, Steve Dace show follows this program every day.

00:59:46.380 He is the author of the Fauci and bargain and the author of do what you believe, or you

00:59:52.580 won't be free to believe it much longer.

00:59:54.560 This is what he's been talking about.

00:59:55.920 This new book that is out now, Steve Dace.

00:59:58.400 Thank you so much.

00:59:59.100 Talk to you again.

01:00:00.540 You got it guys again.

01:00:01.380 Merry Christmas.

01:00:01.900 Merry Christmas.

01:00:02.540 Thank you.

01:00:02.940 All right.

01:00:10.980 There's a short-term planning for your family and long-term planning.

01:00:15.040 Short-term is something like, do you know what you're getting everybody for Christmas this

01:00:19.580 year?

01:00:20.460 Have you figured out what everybody wants?

01:00:22.200 Have you worked it into the budget so that you can get the maximum amount of Christmas

01:00:26.280 paying for your buck?

01:00:27.200 Things like that.

01:00:28.040 Long-term planning for your family is something like how much money are you going to be able

01:00:31.840 to put into your savings every month?

01:00:33.880 What are you doing to lower the bills so that number can rise?

01:00:37.400 What are you considering as an option?

01:00:39.940 Are you considering all of them?

01:00:41.760 If you own a home, you've got to get a fair mortgage rate.

01:00:47.000 If you have a mortgage rate that is in the 3% interest range, you're overpaying.

01:00:52.780 You could be saving hundreds of dollars a month or more if you refinance that mortgage right

01:00:57.700 now.

01:00:58.220 The mortgage rates are low, but the Fed came out just, what, two days ago and said, we

01:01:02.880 are going to raise it three times.

01:01:04.540 And I think they are talking about some things that are really going to affect the economy

01:01:09.300 because it'll make it harder for people to get loans.

01:01:12.880 Get your loan now.

01:01:14.660 If you need a new mortgage, a refi, you want a consolidation loan, it's American Financing.

01:01:20.520 800-906-2440.

01:01:22.860 800-906-2440 or AmericanFinancing.net.

01:01:27.840 10 seconds.

01:01:28.540 Station ID.

01:01:29.060 So, there's a lot of really good signs on what we were just talking about with Steve.

01:01:44.960 One of them is the Salvation Army's, their red kettle donations.

01:01:50.240 Ah, they're not making it.

01:01:53.960 They're not making it.

01:01:55.100 Oh, they're way behind this year.

01:01:58.460 Now, usually you wouldn't say lack of donation to charity would be a good sign.

01:02:03.040 No, but this time, seeing that they put out a little booklet, let's talk about racism.

01:02:10.440 And said that, you know, we really need, as Christians, we really need to look at ourselves.

01:02:16.780 We need to evaluate our racist attitudes.

01:02:21.060 And the white culture has challenges it needs to overcome, including denial of racism and defensiveness about race.

01:02:29.360 And white Americans have to stop trying to be colorblind.

01:02:34.280 That's the one, out of all of those sentences, that's the one that bothers me the most.

01:02:39.220 Stop being colorblind?

01:02:41.240 No, I'm sorry.

01:02:42.120 I've spent my whole life being taught to be colorblind.

01:02:47.060 And the guy who was the head of the class was Martin Luther King.

01:02:51.800 And you're not going to convince me at this point that the things that he actually said and actually believed.

01:03:00.240 Now, you want to talk to me about communism and Martin Luther King?

01:03:03.720 Okay, you might be able to flip me on that one.

01:03:06.500 Maybe he was a total communist.

01:03:08.260 But I do believe, he believed, don't judge me on the color of my skin.

01:03:15.300 And I think that is right.

01:03:17.680 And sorry, I'm not going to comply.

01:03:19.780 And if that's what you are, Salvation Army, you're never going to get a, ho, ho, ho, shut up, fat man with a bell.

01:03:27.260 I'm walking into the store and you ain't getting anything either way from me.

01:03:32.480 I think tons of people feel that way.

01:03:34.160 I'm not going to, I don't care what you say, I'm not going to start making decisions based on skin color.

01:03:38.540 No, no, no, no, thanks.

01:03:40.620 Not going to go down that road.

01:03:41.620 Don't want to do it.

01:03:42.560 I think we all realized it was the wrong thing to do.

01:03:45.120 I think we were right when we realized that.

01:03:47.440 It is amazing how, how easy it is to see if you're on the wrong side of history.

01:03:53.760 You know what I mean?

01:03:54.940 It's just so easy to see.

01:03:57.300 Oh, wait a minute.

01:03:57.920 I think I'm on the wrong side of history here.

01:04:02.800 And I think more and more Americans are waking up more in a minute.

01:04:10.200 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:04:12.880 You know, when you woke up this morning, I'll bet you didn't expect that today was going to be the day that you'd have to drop a thousand dollars or more all of a sudden because something went crazy with your car.

01:04:22.620 If your car is out of warranty, that could be exactly what happens.

01:04:28.980 I hope it doesn't to you today.

01:04:30.700 Repairs aren't cheap.

01:04:32.660 And this time of the year, when the weather's changing from warm to cold, it can be really hard on a vehicle.

01:04:37.720 This is the worst time of the year for your car.

01:05:30.860 Go to StuDoesPowerHour.com.

01:05:33.480 You're not going to want to miss it.

01:05:34.320 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:05:43.660 I just want you to be on high alert.

01:05:46.520 In fact, I think it warrants the duct tape alert because what you are about to hear will honestly just make your head explode.

01:05:59.120 But you might pray for that.

01:06:01.160 So maybe you don't wrap your head in duct tape.

01:06:03.180 Biden is now warning, and I quote, of a winter of severe illness and death.

01:06:11.160 End quote.

01:06:12.700 Merry Christmas, everybody.

01:06:15.700 I mean, these guys just won't give up on their fear mongering.

01:06:19.360 And I think, I'd like to make a prediction.

01:06:22.260 By the end of the year, and I think it's going to happen sooner rather than later because it already is,

01:06:28.060 but America is just going to start mocking, I mean, universally, mocking these warnings, mocking these people.

01:06:37.040 And they're just going to be like, yeah, really?

01:06:38.620 Going to wear a mask, huh?

01:06:40.340 Not going to do it.

01:06:41.700 By the end of the year, meaning in like just a couple of weeks, or you're saying in 2020?

01:06:44.920 In 2022.

01:06:45.720 Yeah.

01:06:45.860 Yeah, I think it's coming.

01:06:48.300 Here's what I'm already saying to them.

01:06:50.300 A, B, C, D, E, F, U.

01:06:52.860 That's what I'm already saying.

01:06:54.200 Really?

01:06:54.700 Really?

01:06:55.280 Yeah.

01:06:55.700 And your mom, and your sister, and your job.

01:06:58.920 Are you quoting a-

01:07:00.060 Broke-ass car.

01:07:02.060 That stuff you call art.

01:07:04.380 What?

01:07:05.020 Are you guys familiar with this song?

01:07:07.720 It was number one in the country last week.

01:07:09.160 Yeah, but I didn't think I would hear it from you, of all people.

01:07:13.920 I never thought I would quote a song like that either, but this is probably the song your kids are listening to and you don't know.

01:07:20.580 Do I have a piece of it edited?

01:07:21.680 F*** you and your mom, any sister, any job, any broke-ass car in that s*** car, Lord.

01:07:29.980 F*** you and your friends that I'll never see again.

01:07:34.080 Everybody but your dog, you can all f*** you.

01:07:38.520 I swear I learned to mean the best when it ended.

01:07:43.020 It's a good song.

01:07:45.180 It's super catchy.

01:07:46.540 As a programmer, strictly as a guy who used to-

01:07:50.300 Yeah, strictly as a music guy.

01:07:50.800 A music guy who used to program Top 40 Stations, I would have this in what was called Power Rotation, out of the box.

01:07:57.480 You'd hand it to me, I'd put it in, I'd listen, I'd go, put it on the air right now.

01:08:02.160 This place every 90 minutes.

01:08:02.880 Every 90 minutes right now.

01:08:04.420 Every 90 minutes.

01:08:04.920 It is a-

01:08:05.920 It's a smash hit.

01:08:07.320 It's not only a smash hit, it is an anthem.

01:08:10.060 It's an anthem.

01:08:11.140 And those happen occasionally, rarely.

01:08:16.380 But it is an anthem that becomes a movement of the age.

01:08:21.980 A, B, C, D, E, F, U, and your mom, and your sister, and your job, and your pro-cast car, and that's f*** you call us.

01:08:32.840 F*** you and your friends that I'll never see again.

01:08:36.680 And everybody but your dog, you can un-f***ing call us.

01:08:41.560 It's nice though.

01:08:42.820 They spared the dog too.

01:08:44.240 I feel good that they say-

01:08:45.480 Yeah, she spared the dog.

01:08:46.320 You spared the dog.

01:08:48.060 It's, uh, it just, you get something you can just powerfully relate to, I guess.

01:08:53.000 Um, it is so-

01:08:54.320 And I wish you couldn't.

01:08:55.140 I wish I couldn't.

01:08:56.040 Yeah.

01:08:56.320 But, uh, you can see the appeal.

01:08:58.840 Wait, wait, you're singing it.

01:09:00.200 It's your, like, Pat Gray's anthem?

01:09:02.600 I thought you were saying it was good, like, for-

01:09:04.540 It just feels good.

01:09:04.960 Oh, no, it feels good.

01:09:05.980 That's my-

01:09:06.380 You know?

01:09:06.680 That's, I could, I could quickly adopt that as my anthem too.

01:09:09.560 Big time.

01:09:09.960 Yeah.

01:09:10.440 Big time.

01:09:10.840 Yeah.

01:09:11.260 And your kids have got to-

01:09:13.540 Not that I want them to, or they should be.

01:09:16.500 That's what they're listening to.

01:09:17.340 But that's what they're listening to.

01:09:18.600 They're listening to that and you don't know it.

01:09:20.540 And they would never sing it around you.

01:09:22.240 But I guarantee you they know every word.

01:09:23.700 They're singing to all their friends and they're screaming it in the car when they're-

01:09:26.640 Yeah.

01:09:27.000 Not with you.

01:09:27.540 Yeah.

01:09:28.040 Yeah.

01:09:28.960 Uh, wow.

01:09:29.540 It's weird.

01:09:30.180 We were at a place where, like, I didn't like the-

01:09:35.120 Let me put it this way.

01:09:37.180 Uh, I like the Brandon chant.

01:09:40.460 Yeah.

01:09:41.080 Uh, okay.

01:09:41.800 Much better than what that, what it means.

01:09:45.660 Yes.

01:09:46.100 I, as a parent of two small kids going to sporting events and hearing the actual chant, uh, associated

01:09:52.260 with Let's Go Brandon over and over again.

01:09:53.780 It was not fun.

01:09:54.480 I did not appreciate that.

01:09:55.600 I like Let's Go Brandon much more.

01:09:57.180 So I, but I think society, I mean, Pat, you remember me in the day, um, before, before

01:10:02.500 I sobered up and changed and found the Lord and everything else.

01:10:06.160 I, it was an art form.

01:10:08.040 The F word was an art form. 0.97

01:10:09.320 Uh, you know, I could say-

01:10:11.920 Came up a few times in conversation.

01:10:13.340 Yeah.

01:10:13.900 And I could, I could pretty much, uh, talk about anything and, uh, probably more F words

01:10:21.440 in it than actual other words.

01:10:23.720 And you'd still understand exactly what I was talking about.

01:10:26.740 Uh, I feel like I wasted all of those years.

01:10:29.940 Well, maybe I was just a pioneer because everybody is talking like that now.

01:10:34.840 Yeah.

01:10:35.180 Doesn't it seem like that?

01:10:36.320 Yeah.

01:10:36.820 Like, you hear that everywhere.

01:10:39.460 Yeah.

01:10:39.740 Everywhere.

01:10:40.980 Seems like we're just getting dumber and dumber as a society.

01:10:43.760 And I think that's, it's like, uh, what was it?

01:10:45.560 Uh, the idiocracy?

01:10:47.800 Uh, the, um, movie that predicted the future, uh, blatantly, but they, they, everyone kind

01:10:54.380 of breeds and gets dumber and dumber over time.

01:10:56.440 And then that's how they talk all the time.

01:10:58.300 All they're doing is swearing and like, and it's just constant insults.

01:11:02.640 But there is nothing better at times, at times than that word.

01:11:06.860 It just.

01:11:07.520 Word is an effective.

01:11:08.420 It's a very effective word.

01:11:09.600 There are only a couple of words that are more effective that, that they don't get into

01:11:13.440 songs all that often.

01:11:14.420 Yeah.

01:11:14.620 Right.

01:11:15.260 You know, it's, but it's kind of like, it's, it's becoming almost like the C word in England.

01:11:21.600 Like in England, it doesn't mean what we think it means.

01:11:25.620 Right.

01:11:26.060 The C word.

01:11:26.580 Yeah.

01:11:26.980 Uh, yeah.

01:11:27.880 That's interesting.

01:11:28.420 We all understand the right C word.

01:11:29.980 Cause I know there's lots of C words we're not supposed to say.

01:11:33.080 Yeah.

01:11:33.240 C is the one you got to stay away from the most.

01:11:35.280 It seems like that word.

01:11:36.120 Hang on just a second.

01:11:36.840 I'm getting it from my Scottish friend.

01:11:39.040 Is it only Scotland?

01:11:40.580 So in England, does it mean the same thing that it does here?

01:11:45.600 Means the same in England, not in Scotland.

01:11:48.320 And I know this because the guy who is my assistant is Scottish.

01:11:52.780 And, uh, he, he was having a conversation, uh, with his now wife, uh, but they were dating

01:12:00.860 and he, he called her that.

01:12:04.080 And she was like, what?

01:12:07.520 And he was like, what?

01:12:09.620 What's the problem?

01:12:14.180 Didn't go well.

01:12:15.320 Didn't go well.

01:12:16.160 But he saved it.

01:12:17.100 Does it mean like, uh, you know, a door?

01:12:19.700 Can he just, let me see him at least.

01:12:23.080 I know he doesn't want to be on the microphone, but.

01:12:24.980 Does it mean idiot?

01:12:25.920 Is that a appropriate translation?

01:12:27.460 What does it mean?

01:12:28.660 Open his mic.

01:12:29.600 Go ahead.

01:12:30.140 What's it mean?

01:12:30.800 It's just a friendlier way of saying, yeah, that idiot over there.

01:12:34.500 A friendlier way of saying that idiot over there.

01:12:36.260 A friendlier way.

01:12:37.240 Doesn't seem friendly, but.

01:12:37.920 Yeah.

01:12:38.240 And it, I mean, it doesn't seem like idiot either.

01:12:42.260 Mm-mm.

01:12:42.860 Yeah.

01:12:43.200 That's how we use that.

01:12:43.840 I mean, we use it in all.

01:12:45.320 Oh, I know.

01:12:46.320 In expressions in anybody.

01:12:46.980 I, I, I, I.

01:12:47.900 See you over there.

01:12:48.740 Yeah, I know.

01:12:49.700 I know.

01:12:50.300 And, uh, and you know, when I, cause I, you know, I, I, you know, I watch the BBC a lot

01:12:56.240 cause I think the BBC is, no, it's not necessarily better.

01:12:59.280 Well, yes it is.

01:13:00.180 Um, but, uh, it's just that it doesn't have any American politics in it.

01:13:05.660 It's got loads of British, but I don't care if they burn to the ground. 1.00

01:13:09.000 So it's like, yeah, that's funny.

01:13:11.080 Uh, yeah, but it's interesting.

01:13:14.380 Like over there, they have a word, and they have a word for a cigarette as well.

01:13:18.400 That is, that means something else over here.

01:13:20.280 Yes.

01:13:20.580 Yes.

01:13:20.660 That occasionally makes it into those shows.

01:13:22.260 And it's, it's jarring cause you just don't hear it in any context.

01:13:25.720 And especially because it's usually preceded, want to drag off of a, yes.

01:13:29.460 And you're like, no, no, no, I'm good.

01:13:32.080 Thank you for that.

01:13:34.020 I was watching, I've been watching The Wire, the show, uh, on HBO that aired in the early

01:13:38.560 2000s.

01:13:39.320 Yeah.

01:13:39.600 Uh, and basically based off Jason Whitlock's, uh, recommendation.

01:13:43.360 Cause I've heard, obviously I've heard of The Wire and it's one of the, you know, most

01:13:46.860 renowned shows of all time.

01:13:48.500 And he was saying it's his favorite show of all time.

01:13:50.400 And so he, he kind of talked me into going through it and it's very good.

01:13:53.780 But what's interesting about it is there it's, you know, it's about like drug dealing

01:13:59.080 on the streets of Baltimore in the early 2000s.

01:14:01.300 And they like, particularly the anti-gay slur is all over the place.

01:14:06.220 Like, like crazy.

01:14:08.080 And like, it's, it's interesting just in that time that has gone from a word that was just

01:14:12.760 continually used in pop culture, not necessarily in a positive way.

01:14:16.540 Like, Hey, these guys are good for using this word.

01:14:18.400 I mean, they're bad characters, but like, it was just in there all the time.

01:14:21.820 And you go back at, you know, there's episodes of it's always sunny in Philadelphia that

01:14:25.300 just have the N word in them straight out.

01:14:28.140 N word said full, like it's so shocking that like, that's, that's happened pretty

01:14:33.480 fast, really fast.

01:14:35.060 Well, but it is, it is to me, it is always been shocking because, you know, Pat and I

01:14:40.800 came from music radio.

01:14:42.640 That stuff was in rap all the time, all the time, all the time.

01:14:45.560 And so it was, to me, it was always shocking to hear it in music and it's, and then it was

01:14:51.980 just weird that you could hear it in music, still can hear it in music, hear it in, you

01:14:56.540 know, with, you know, half of the population or what is it?

01:15:00.960 20% of the population being free with it, just throwing it out anywhere and can.

01:15:06.300 And everybody else is like, okay, that's really a bad word.

01:15:09.640 It's just weird.

01:15:11.040 It's developed in a very strange way.

01:15:12.740 I, I, there's that controversy that happened around here in, in Texas with supposed racism

01:15:17.460 in high schools.

01:15:18.620 And it was what was kind of the basis of the recent CRT stuff that happened where the teenage

01:15:23.060 girls were singing the lyrics of a rap song. 0.99

01:15:25.280 Yeah.

01:15:25.620 And that was part of, you know, the criticism of this town and that like the white girls 1.00

01:15:31.800 were singing the actual lyrics of the song.

01:15:34.000 No criticism levied at the artist for recording the song this way.

01:15:39.200 Right.

01:15:39.320 No one said, Hey, maybe like, don't put it in the song that you know is going to attract

01:15:44.000 young people who may not be able to decipher the ins and outs and nuances of how this word

01:15:51.120 is supposed to be used.

01:15:52.640 No criticism to them for making millions of dollars off the word, but let's criticize the

01:15:57.440 high school kids for just singing along to lyrics of a song that Universal or some other

01:16:03.880 big company is making millions of dollars off of.

01:16:05.760 Remember when I stood up for Don Imus against Al Sharpton because Al Sharpton, I mean, Don

01:16:13.680 just said some things he shouldn't have said, but it's, it's by far not worse than what's

01:16:20.580 in rap songs.

01:16:21.420 Oh God.

01:16:21.840 And I'm talking to Al Sharpton.

01:16:23.080 I'm like, when are you going to talk to the, when are you going to talk to the record

01:16:25.060 companies?

01:16:25.900 When are you going to boycott them?

01:16:28.120 And the answer of course is never.

01:16:29.920 He actually did.

01:16:31.180 Oh, he did.

01:16:31.640 He did say he would do it.

01:16:32.760 And he did do it.

01:16:33.680 I went and marched with him.

01:16:34.900 I said, I don't, I'm not going to, I said, you're not going to do it.

01:16:37.620 And he said, yes, I will.

01:16:38.540 And I said, you know what?

01:16:39.420 Then I'll show up with my cameras and I'll be there to cover it.

01:16:43.080 I don't agree with it, but I will, I will cover it and I'll be there.

01:16:47.260 And I walked out.

01:16:48.360 He'd had a march and I walked around the corner and he was there, you know, with a block full

01:16:55.680 of people.

01:16:56.180 And one of the guards was like, no, no, no, no.

01:16:59.660 And Sharpton said, no, come here.

01:17:02.460 And he looked at me like I was an alien, like you're here.

01:17:07.440 And I said, of course I told you I would be.

01:17:09.900 I said, I can't believe that you are doing this.

01:17:12.680 And he said, well, I told you I would.

01:17:14.260 And I said, yeah.

01:17:15.940 But there was a time where that was a position of race activists, right?

01:17:21.380 That we should, everyone should get rid of the N word.

01:17:23.460 It should not just be something.

01:17:24.340 You know, I don't know if anybody knows.

01:17:25.740 It kind of goes to all men are created equal.

01:17:27.860 I mean, we should all be playing by the same rules.

01:17:30.180 We should all be playing by the same rules.

01:17:32.820 That's old school.

01:17:33.720 What you're saying is old school.

01:17:34.960 Who was the rap star?

01:17:36.000 Was it Drake that invited the white girl up on stage to sing one of his songs with him?

01:17:41.620 She sang the word and then he berated her for it.

01:17:45.260 Really?

01:17:45.700 What?

01:17:46.360 Yeah.

01:17:47.920 What are your songs, man?

01:17:50.340 I'm just singing the lyric.

01:17:51.560 What am I?

01:17:52.360 Do you put N word in there?

01:17:55.100 We're in place of it.

01:17:56.180 Kendrick Lamar, I'm being told it was.

01:17:58.020 Not Drake.

01:17:58.880 All right.

01:17:59.300 Good.

01:17:59.680 Still, that's insane.

01:18:01.420 I hope she went away going, you're a total psycho.

01:18:05.620 I would think so.

01:18:06.340 Well, how about when in the Jussie Smollett trial, they were reading the texts and Jussie Smollett

01:18:13.260 said the lawyer, the white lawyer, couldn't read Jussie's text because the N word was

01:18:18.180 used in the text.

01:18:19.180 Jeez.

01:18:20.040 Quoting texts in a legal trial.

01:18:22.900 Hang on just a second.

01:18:23.720 Let's just all enjoy for a second the holiday season and knowing that Jussie Smollett is 0.58

01:18:31.120 going to go to jail.

01:18:31.900 Yeah, there we go.

01:18:33.040 Yeah.

01:18:33.160 That's very nice.

01:18:34.040 It's a good.

01:18:34.420 It's like chestnuts roasting on an open fire.

01:18:38.060 You know, it just feels good.

01:18:40.920 You care deeply about your dog and you want him to live the fullest, healthiest, happiest

01:18:45.320 life he or she can.

01:18:46.920 Part of the family, right?

01:18:48.480 That's why I use Rough Greens.

01:18:50.340 Not a dog food, but a supplement that you pour on the dog food.

01:18:53.620 And then if your dog is anything like Uno, you just stand back and watch because of the

01:19:01.060 feeding fringe.

01:19:02.640 It's like pouring a chum into the water with sharks.

01:19:07.080 They love it.

01:19:08.060 It's full of probiotics, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, omega oils, all the things that they

01:19:13.020 need and they're not getting from kibble food.

01:19:15.440 So this is not a dog food.

01:19:16.900 It's a supplement you just sprinkle on and they love it.

01:19:19.460 Get a free bag of Rough Greens for your dog just to try out.

01:19:22.160 Make sure that he loves it as much as Uno does.

01:19:24.240 It's roughgreens.com slash Beck.

01:19:26.920 R-U-F-F-Greens.com slash Beck or call 833-Glenn33.

01:19:36.800 I hate Stu.

01:19:38.960 I just want to bring that.

01:19:40.280 How did we get to that?

01:19:40.960 I hate.

01:19:42.240 I started with a compliment and you turn it around on me.

01:19:45.820 I just hate you.

01:19:47.080 I just think.

01:19:47.520 The compliment was a very thin sliver.

01:19:50.860 It was.

01:19:51.340 You know, in a sea of hate.

01:19:53.340 That you immediately disavowed.

01:19:54.060 I mean, before you even got to the compliment, you disavowed the compliment.

01:19:58.180 How?

01:19:59.000 You said, well, and it's a very small, small, small compliment.

01:20:03.360 It's a sliver of a compliment.

01:20:05.000 Before I tell you what it is.

01:20:05.540 But at least I'm being honest, right?

01:20:07.460 I'm being honest.

01:20:08.260 But it was a compliment.

01:20:09.480 Yeah.

01:20:10.120 You know, he's going.

01:20:11.500 Stu always goes to like the Super Bowl every year and he goes to, you know, bowl games and

01:20:16.240 he flies around and he doesn't do, you know, you do one or two of these a year.

01:20:20.640 I like to do.

01:20:21.520 I like to go to sporting events and fun things.

01:20:23.520 And I love that.

01:20:24.480 I love that.

01:20:25.300 You do it without your wife and kids, right?

01:20:27.340 You just go with friends.

01:20:28.000 Sometimes.

01:20:28.640 Sometimes.

01:20:29.100 Yeah.

01:20:29.240 Sometimes.

01:20:29.680 Yeah.

01:20:30.140 And I know this is not something I do.

01:20:32.100 Not something that Pat does.

01:20:33.420 No.

01:20:33.560 And I feel, I feel like you're a hero to me.

01:20:37.240 Well, thank you.

01:20:37.700 A very small.

01:20:38.760 See, this is.

01:20:40.560 Diminished hero.

01:20:41.520 Right.

01:20:42.480 Well, really non-hero hero.

01:20:44.680 Yeah.

01:20:45.020 You're a non-hero hero.

01:20:46.580 Kind of somebody that you tell your kids not to look directly at kind of hero.

01:20:51.260 I don't know.

01:20:51.600 I think you do some fun things, Glenn.

01:20:54.280 I think you've had, you do some fun things.

01:20:55.980 You, you have some, you have an interesting life.

01:20:58.440 You have an interesting life, but, but, you know, you know, I talk to people and I'm

01:21:02.960 like, I don't know what you do to make money.

01:21:04.780 They're all, I have friends who are like, Oh, I just got back home.

01:21:10.160 I, we took the family to the moon last week.

01:21:13.120 And you're like, really?

01:21:15.740 You know, I have a friend who's like, yeah, the family went for four weeks.

01:21:19.420 We went to, uh, four weeks.

01:21:21.980 We went to China.

01:21:22.960 Oh my gosh.

01:21:23.860 Walked the Great Wall.

01:21:24.320 And I'm like, shut up.

01:21:25.620 What do you do?

01:21:26.760 Yeah.

01:21:26.920 You have a job.

01:21:28.400 How are you doing that?

01:21:30.020 Wow.

01:21:30.520 That's incredible.

01:21:31.460 See, but you do at least fun things.

01:21:33.220 I mean, Pat, I will say, Pat makes incredible cookies at Kexi.com.

01:21:37.600 Uh, I will say.

01:21:38.880 My wife actually makes the cookies. 1.00

01:21:39.960 I don't even do that.

01:21:41.020 No, you don't even do that.

01:21:42.060 Jeez.

01:21:42.960 But you are, oh, you're running a new small business.

01:21:46.240 Hard for you maybe to get away.

01:21:47.440 But you won't take.

01:21:48.220 Yes, very.

01:21:48.960 You won't take all those profits and go someplace.

01:21:52.700 Cool.

01:21:53.080 Will you?

01:21:53.580 No.

01:21:53.960 No, you'll probably give all those profits away.

01:21:56.300 Won't you?

01:21:56.920 So far, there are no profits.

01:22:01.380 Solves the problem.

01:22:02.420 Yeah.

01:22:02.580 Completely.

01:22:03.140 Yeah.

01:22:03.280 You don't have to worry.

01:22:03.980 You don't have to decide.

01:22:05.020 Do I give it to the kids?

01:22:06.480 Do I give it to charity?

01:22:07.520 Do we take a vacation?

01:22:09.060 Nope.

01:22:09.580 Don't have to worry about it.

01:22:10.980 Good stuff.

01:22:12.140 Good stuff.

01:22:12.800 All right.

01:22:14.180 Back with more in a minute.

01:22:21.900 If anybody in my family is listening, they should turn off the radio at this point.

01:22:26.180 And you'd say, why?

01:22:28.040 And I'd say, because you don't ask questions around Christmas time.

01:22:31.020 Just turn it off right now.

01:22:32.340 Because I, we have, we have some talking to do about Christmas in 60 seconds.

01:22:38.360 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:22:43.760 Do you have a Rectech yet?

01:22:45.340 If you don't, you should get one.

01:22:46.820 If you like smoked food, grilled food, you like to bake and not necessarily be stuck in

01:22:54.960 the kitchen, a Rectech does all of these and does them to perfection.

01:22:59.400 It has a smart grill technology on it.

01:23:02.360 So everything bakes, grills, smokes to perfection.

01:23:06.660 I have not burnt a steak in my Rectech.

01:23:10.740 That is, that is quite an accomplishment.

01:23:13.660 You don't know how many times I've had to cut the burnt part off of steaks.

01:23:18.360 Don't have to do that with Rectech.

01:23:20.200 It comes out perfect every single time.

01:23:22.300 It is a great, it'll be the last grill you ever buy.

01:23:24.960 It's Rectech, R-E-C-T-E-Q.com, R-E-C-T-E-Q.com, Rectech.com.

01:23:37.020 So what is your, your favorite Christmas tradition?

01:23:41.120 What's the one, if I said one thing, what would it be, Pac-Rae?

01:23:48.860 Yeah, good at this.

01:23:50.880 Stu.

01:23:51.320 I loved, I loved, I, I, we have a manger scene that we put out every year and we take

01:23:57.500 the wise men from the manger scene and put them around somewhere else in the house.

01:24:01.800 And then they all move.

01:24:02.520 And then the kids moved them every night during the Christmas season.

01:24:05.340 Yeah, but you're not doing that now, are you?

01:24:06.680 No, because the kids are a little old for that now.

01:24:08.360 I know, see, it's kind of weird.

01:24:09.660 Once your kids kind of grow up, you're like, eh.

01:24:12.240 Yeah.

01:24:12.740 My kids are still in peak Christmas years.

01:24:14.860 Oh, I know.

01:24:15.380 You can enjoy them.

01:24:16.140 They don't come back.

01:24:17.240 We have done more Christmas stuff this year than have you really.

01:24:22.020 It's physically possible.

01:24:23.900 Multiple things per day.

01:24:25.480 Does it feel like Christmas to you then?

01:24:27.000 Oh, yeah.

01:24:27.580 I love it.

01:24:28.060 Because to me, it's like.

01:24:28.940 I love Christmas too, but it's kind of like, meh.

01:24:31.120 I'm all in.

01:24:31.740 I'm all in this year.

01:24:32.560 Is it because our kids are so old now?

01:24:33.940 I don't know.

01:24:34.400 Maybe.

01:24:34.540 Is that what it is?

01:24:35.440 Maybe.

01:24:35.700 And the world is on fire.

01:24:37.060 It could have something to do with it.

01:24:38.220 Well, and also, my kids are on fire, and the world is on fire.

01:24:42.520 That makes it more complicated.

01:24:44.200 I'm going through those beautiful teen years that I remember you having.

01:24:47.820 Oh, my gosh.

01:24:48.940 It's fun?

01:24:49.400 Well, you bet.

01:24:50.300 Yeah.

01:24:50.440 I look at these times, and quite often will say, remember, Pat and Jackie went through

01:24:56.380 this, and those kids, they're not in jail.

01:24:59.300 No.

01:25:00.000 They're good, solid citizens.

01:25:02.460 I mean, they turned out, and she's like, yeah, but we're not Pat and Jackie.

01:25:05.820 And I'm like, you're right.

01:25:07.260 It sucks.

01:25:08.660 It's over.

01:25:09.260 Yeah.

01:25:09.640 You know, the latest Christmas tradition for me is my grandkids absolutely are convinced

01:25:19.880 that I am Santa.

01:25:22.120 They think you are Santa Claus.

01:25:24.240 Convinced.

01:25:25.120 Convinced.

01:25:25.480 There is some resemblance, Glenn.

01:25:28.300 I am aware.

01:25:29.680 You have several of the features needed and required, with the exception of, I mean, you

01:25:35.400 have a little bit of a beard, I suppose.

01:25:37.260 Well, it started really with my grandson saying, Grandpa, Santa's fat.

01:25:46.100 You're fat.

01:25:47.660 Wow.

01:25:48.180 That was the first thing.

01:25:48.940 That's awesome.

01:25:49.380 Santa's fat.

01:25:50.180 Awesome.

01:25:50.900 You're fat.

01:25:51.440 That's a smart kid.

01:25:53.220 He has white hair.

01:25:54.960 You have white hair.

01:25:56.660 Wow.

01:25:57.320 And I'm like, well, you got the two things required to be Santa down.

01:26:02.120 You need all the beard.

01:26:03.080 You need the beard.

01:26:03.620 Yeah.

01:26:03.700 And your beard is not.

01:26:05.140 So here's the thing.

01:26:07.080 The Santa Claus, you know, the first one, you know, where, what's his name?

01:26:12.020 Tim Allen.

01:26:12.460 Tim Allen.

01:26:12.980 He grows the beard and he can't shave it off.

01:26:15.740 So last Christmas, and this is all done by my daughter, Hannah, who I bought a couple

01:26:23.320 of extra years by doing some magical things, you know, with like, I think I've told the

01:26:27.820 story about the Santa's sleigh bell.

01:26:30.040 Yeah.

01:26:30.520 You've told it in some live shows.

01:26:31.860 Yeah.

01:26:32.040 And, uh, gave her the Santa's sleigh bell and it was really, really magical that year.

01:26:36.080 And it bought about another year or two of believing in Santa.

01:26:40.260 What I didn't know is she was very, very pissed once she found out that Santa doesn't come at

01:26:45.900 for those kids of that age, you know, it's time for them to grow up and he's just for

01:26:50.440 the little kids.

01:26:51.460 And, uh, and thank you for that looks too.

01:26:54.580 And so, um, I'm, I'm sitting there and, uh, she says to me, I said, you remember how

01:27:01.640 magical that was?

01:27:02.420 And she said, I was so angry.

01:27:05.780 I was so angry for a long time.

01:27:08.680 And I was like, what, really?

01:27:10.500 What?

01:27:11.060 And this is after she started telling the grandkids that I'm Santa.

01:27:15.780 She, she told the grandkids that you are Santa.

01:27:19.180 Oh yeah.

01:27:19.840 Yeah.

01:27:20.080 And we've, we've, we've, we've, we've really piled some logs on it.

01:27:22.780 Last year, last year, uh, I, I went to bed early on Christmas Eve and I said, I got,

01:27:30.400 I got to go to bed early.

01:27:31.580 And they're like, grandpa, it's four o'clock.

01:27:33.280 And I'm like, I know I got to go to bed early.

01:27:35.640 And, uh, so I went to bed and, you know, I happened to have a real great Santa suit

01:27:42.060 from some show that we did years ago.

01:27:44.840 Uh, and so I got into bed and I put my covers up to my chin, but then I got a really good

01:27:52.820 stage, you know, like one with spirit gum glue that you glue on, you know, all the hairs

01:27:57.940 and stuff, put a really good beard on that looked absolutely real and had that on the

01:28:04.800 other side of the covers, uh, kind of like miracle on 34th street.

01:28:08.620 And, uh, Hannah comes in and she's like, oh my gosh, she closes the door and then she 1.00

01:28:14.740 runs and we have all the videotape.

01:28:16.360 Like she runs and she gets the kids, you have to see grandpa.

01:28:20.040 What?

01:28:20.960 You have to see.

01:28:21.800 I can't, I just look and open up the doors and the kids are like, ah, just about freak

01:28:28.960 out.

01:28:29.560 Okay.

01:28:30.080 Gosh.

01:28:30.640 Last summer.

01:28:31.620 This is unfair.

01:28:32.380 I know.

01:28:32.740 Last summer I took that suit and I just put it in a box and I said, uh, it says grandpa's

01:28:39.860 secret box.

01:28:41.080 Uh, do not open unless grandpa dies.

01:28:46.420 Okay.

01:28:47.500 And, uh, so I put it way up.

01:28:49.120 He even brought death into this story, put it way up on the shelf and, uh, and Hannah

01:28:54.320 goes out and she's up on a ladder with the kids cleaning the garage.

01:28:57.700 And, uh, she's like, what's this?

01:29:00.120 She opens it up and she's like, oh my gosh.

01:29:03.080 Uh, and then puts it away.

01:29:04.560 And of course the kids are like, what's that mom?

01:29:07.180 Uh, nothing.

01:29:08.180 Mom, what's in the box?

01:29:10.120 Okay.

01:29:10.520 You can't tell Gaga.

01:29:11.560 And so she opens up the box and it's the Christmas suit with a little instruction.

01:29:17.400 If I die, put on the suit and, uh, all will be explained.

01:29:22.200 Okay.

01:29:22.980 The kids are crazy.

01:29:24.260 She's like, you cannot tell grandpa what we just did.

01:29:28.420 I won't.

01:29:30.060 My grandson runs directly into the house directly to me.

01:29:34.700 I knew you were Santa Claus.

01:29:36.700 Oh, it's so great.

01:29:42.880 That's incredible.

01:29:43.880 Wow.

01:29:44.000 That is, you've really piled it on here.

01:29:46.660 Uh, I know.

01:29:47.140 And I keep saying to her, remember how angry you were with a bell?

01:29:51.500 Right.

01:29:51.880 And she was like, yeah, but they'll probably be angry for a while, but they'll get over

01:29:56.680 it.

01:29:56.920 And I'm like, well, yeah, but then I'm on the outs for a couple of years.

01:30:02.780 Right.

01:30:04.040 Just a couple of years of their childhood.

01:30:05.580 No big deal.

01:30:07.140 Luckily, I keep telling them I am not Santa and I, I stick by that.

01:30:12.480 I'm not.

01:30:12.800 So you're the truthful one.

01:30:13.940 You're being truthful.

01:30:14.940 Well, I'm saying those words.

01:30:19.500 And those words are accurate. 0.99

01:30:21.620 They are completely accurate.

01:30:23.820 I, I, I, I won't tell you what I'm doing this year until next year, but this year, oh

01:30:30.820 my gosh, you couldn't pile it on bigger than this.

01:30:32.920 You could, you cannot, you couldn't outdo this.

01:30:38.140 I, I, I, you could not outdo this this year.

01:30:42.000 And this is the thing.

01:30:42.640 I think this is like unfair for parents around the country.

01:30:44.960 And that like Glenn is like gets super into this stuff and is super creative on this stuff.

01:30:50.360 I, you've told me some stories about past years, um, that, and you're just like, oh my

01:30:55.020 God, like the effort that goes into it.

01:30:56.760 And like, you're, you, you're doing this as if you're putting on a stage show, right?

01:31:01.240 Like there's a lot of like a million people.

01:31:03.360 There's resources.

01:31:04.300 Oh yeah.

01:31:04.760 There's, I mean, you go into it.

01:31:06.440 Oh yeah.

01:31:07.200 Yeah.

01:31:07.620 It's unfair.

01:31:08.340 One of the kids was left a Santa glove and I mean, it's a real Santa glove, red leather

01:31:20.460 and the soft white fur in it.

01:31:23.420 And I don't know how many rabbits died to make this glove and it took us a long time, but

01:31:28.300 it is Santa's glove.

01:31:30.480 It is Santa's glove.

01:31:32.120 And, uh, but wait, the kids heads, I think they will explode.

01:31:38.900 I think there's a chance, you know, those things that they always like pull in England, you

01:31:43.220 know, Hey, Merry Christmas.

01:31:44.240 And they pull that stupid little paper thing and it pops something out.

01:31:48.780 I think that's going to happen with their heads.

01:31:50.780 That's going to happen with their heads.

01:31:52.220 Stuffing is going to fly out.

01:31:53.760 All right.

01:31:54.280 Let me tell you about a gold line CEO of Goldman Sachs.

01:31:57.500 Just said publicly that he expects lower returns on stocks for the next few years.

01:32:04.100 Huh?

01:32:05.400 Why would you say that?

01:32:07.140 Would it be because the Fed has been pumping all fake money into the stock market and now

01:32:12.040 maybe it's going to, it's going to, you know, have a giant bubble and it's going to pop a

01:32:16.540 little bit.

01:32:16.940 I mean, maybe, maybe take some of the winnings off of the table and move them into a more

01:32:21.300 conservative, protective asset.

01:32:23.440 But the time tested winner as always is precious metals, gold and silver are where you want

01:32:29.000 to be when the next crash comes.

01:32:31.260 And it could be closer than you think.

01:32:33.140 This is why I have gold as an investment.

01:32:35.860 It's a hedge against insanity.

01:32:37.460 You don't, you don't want everything in gold.

01:32:39.560 You don't want everything in anything.

01:32:41.100 You have to spread the risk.

01:32:43.780 10% is a good place to have for, you know, holdings of precious metals, but don't buy

01:32:49.960 the paper gold.

01:32:51.540 Call gold line.

01:32:52.980 Get the actual physical precious metal.

01:32:56.000 This week, gold line is offering 6% in promotional metals for qualifying self-directed IRA acquisitions.

01:33:01.620 So call and speak with an account executive right now, 866-GOLDLINE.

01:33:06.560 That's 866-GOLDLINE or goldline.com.

01:33:10.580 10 seconds.

01:33:11.460 Station ID.

01:33:21.820 Hmm.

01:33:24.820 Okay.

01:33:25.300 Favorite Christmas movie.

01:33:29.360 Just going right to the top of the list here.

01:33:30.800 Yeah, go to the top of the list.

01:33:32.060 We made a list of Christmas movies, but just don't even look at the list.

01:33:36.800 Favorite Christmas movie.

01:33:37.980 One you cannot miss a year of.

01:33:41.580 I feel I have three that have fallen into this category.

01:33:43.920 However, number one, I would put Elf.

01:33:45.680 I would say Elf is my number one.

01:33:47.180 Okay.

01:33:47.400 I love Elf too.

01:33:48.340 Yeah, Elf is number one for me.

01:33:49.640 My favorite is It's a Wonderful Life.

01:33:51.640 Hmm.

01:33:52.200 Yeah.

01:33:52.580 That's got to be number one.

01:33:53.400 I've got that at number six.

01:33:56.200 Number six.

01:33:56.780 Yes.

01:33:57.200 Okay.

01:33:57.500 That's well down the list.

01:33:59.320 Actually.

01:33:59.680 You know what it is?

01:34:00.440 You know what it is?

01:34:01.100 I think TBS wrecked that movie because they played it over and over and over again.

01:34:05.520 And so when we were growing up where we were just probably what either late teens or early

01:34:11.260 twenties when Ted Turner found that movie and it was like, nobody owns the rights to

01:34:16.060 that.

01:34:16.520 Okay.

01:34:17.320 Yeah.

01:34:17.840 And he ran it 24 hours a day.

01:34:20.520 I don't think that route.

01:34:21.380 I think that makes it more.

01:34:22.900 It associates it more with Christmas.

01:34:24.680 Like, I know we've had conversations when we disagree on a Christmas story being a great

01:34:28.640 Christmas movie.

01:34:29.160 I love it.

01:34:30.080 But like, I put Christmas story right halfway down my list because it's one of those that

01:34:36.440 I sometimes I'm absolutely in the mood for and it's great.

01:34:39.460 And other times I'm like, oh, I can't take that movie.

01:34:42.280 I love it.

01:34:43.040 But I think part of the reason I love it is because it's on 24 hours of a Christmas story

01:34:47.680 every Christmas.

01:34:48.980 And so they just air it over and over and over and over and over again for 24 hours.

01:34:52.380 And I love that.

01:34:53.280 Like whenever it's on, even when we're doing something in the house on Christmas and we're

01:34:57.720 not, we don't have the TV audio on.

01:34:59.620 I just put it on without the audio.

01:35:01.140 So that's what happens in my house with the Hallmark Channel.

01:35:03.920 Oh, I love the Hallmark Channel.

01:35:05.440 I love it.

01:35:06.960 It's the same movie over and over and over again.

01:35:09.860 It doesn't matter though.

01:35:10.300 I know it doesn't.

01:35:11.020 Because I watch them all.

01:35:11.620 I watch them all.

01:35:13.000 And I love watching them with the family and being just sarcastic.

01:35:17.480 Yes.

01:35:17.880 I love it.

01:35:18.580 Sometimes they're so bad.

01:35:19.920 So the story is so dumb and the acting's so bad that it's just fun to make fun of.

01:35:25.880 It just made fun of.

01:35:26.640 We sit there like my father-in-law.

01:35:29.640 We sat there and watched it.

01:35:31.400 I didn't know if he was being serious or sarcastic the whole time.

01:35:35.240 And I looked at my wife and she's like, no, he's sarcastic.

01:35:38.820 Because I didn't know because he was so deadpan on it.

01:35:41.380 He was like, there's no way these two are going to get together.

01:35:45.280 There's just no way.

01:35:47.480 They're from different sides of the cracks.

01:35:49.080 They're two different.

01:35:49.880 And one of them lives in New York now and just came back to the small town.

01:35:53.820 There's no way she's going to stay here.

01:35:55.880 Right.

01:35:56.020 Right.

01:35:56.220 She's engaged to be married to another guy. 0.98

01:35:58.600 Right.

01:35:59.160 And she loves him.

01:36:00.440 Back in New York.

01:36:00.780 Yes.

01:36:01.280 Not to mention.

01:36:01.780 We saw the same one.

01:36:02.800 That's the one we were watching with my father-in-law.

01:36:06.420 The same one.

01:36:07.220 All of the movies can be described this way.

01:36:09.940 That is what you do.

01:36:10.840 Yes.

01:36:11.640 They always have some business interest back in the big city.

01:36:14.760 Yeah.

01:36:15.160 By the way, on this note, I should point out, I mentioned Stew Does Power Hour is coming tonight.

01:36:19.680 Yeah.

01:36:19.940 When's Christmas Cookie?

01:36:20.800 Well, A Christmas Twist is going to air on Stew Does America tonight.

01:36:23.680 So, if you happen to be, if you watch the place or you can go to youtube.com slash Stew

01:36:27.240 Does America, wearing the entire movie, The Christmas Twist. 0.58

01:36:30.100 This is a movie that we all-

01:36:31.180 Become a fun holiday tradition.

01:36:32.820 It really is funny.

01:36:34.640 It really is funny.

01:36:36.080 And it's a parody of these terrible, sort of Hallmark-style Christmas movies.

01:36:41.080 And I swear to you, this is true.

01:36:45.160 We made a Christmas Twist.

01:36:46.440 What was that?

01:36:47.280 2014?

01:36:47.940 2015?

01:36:48.880 Quite a while ago.

01:36:49.420 I think it was earlier than that.

01:36:50.740 Maybe.

01:36:51.180 It was on when I was doing Wonderful World of Stew for this network.

01:36:54.800 And it's a movie that Glenn is in.

01:36:56.520 Pat does an incredible role.

01:36:58.580 Glenn does an incredible role.

01:36:59.500 We have like a bunch of people from the blazer end.

01:37:01.240 It's a lot of fun.

01:37:02.180 And it's a parody of these movies.

01:37:04.440 And the woman has a Christmas cookie store. 1.00

01:37:07.220 And it's all-

01:37:07.760 It's the same dumb plot line from all these movies.

01:37:10.300 And I swear to you, I swear this is true.

01:37:13.580 They saw this movie and then made a real Hallmark movie out of it.

01:37:18.040 There is one about the-

01:37:19.420 It's almost the exact plot of our fake movie.

01:37:23.220 And it almost all happens in the same order.

01:37:26.080 You know what it's called?

01:37:26.640 I gotta watch this.

01:37:27.920 But, Stew, I would just-

01:37:28.820 I don't know off the top of my head.

01:37:29.340 May I just point out that you just told me you're describing every Christmas movie on Hallmark.

01:37:37.840 They're all the same.

01:37:38.840 They are the same.

01:37:39.520 But they have typical different things.

01:37:41.480 Like, you know, sometimes the business will be like a lawyer.

01:37:47.060 And sometimes, you know, they'll be a business executive.

01:37:50.500 And then, like, in the town, sometimes they're making cookies.

01:37:54.700 And sometimes they're making Christmas costumes.

01:37:57.320 And sometimes there's always little, like, you know, bumps in different directional.

01:38:01.820 This is, like, the exact same movie.

01:38:04.140 They made a real movie out of our parody movie.

01:38:06.240 I want to make a Christmas movie next year.

01:38:08.640 Oh, we should.

01:38:09.400 I want-

01:38:09.820 And I, you know, I said this to-

01:38:12.500 I said this to the guy who runs Mercury.

01:38:14.760 And I said, and I want to make it for Hallmark.

01:38:16.760 And he said, why?

01:38:19.060 Yeah, that's true.

01:38:19.780 That's a good point.

01:38:20.700 And I'm like, because Hallmark will run it.

01:38:23.560 And we could do it live with no script.

01:38:29.620 Just ad-lib.

01:38:31.420 And we'd have a Hallmark Christmas movie.

01:38:34.640 And you know the thing I really love about the Hallmark Christmas movies?

01:38:38.220 Most of them are filmed in California.

01:38:40.820 And you can tell because there's snow on the ground and yet strangely leaves on the trees in the background.

01:38:48.000 Have you ever noticed that?

01:38:49.960 Yes.

01:38:50.100 It'll, like, be-

01:38:50.880 Yeah.

01:38:51.300 They don't really do the-

01:38:52.900 They don't do that thing that they do in movies where they make sure the background scenes look right.

01:38:56.900 Right.

01:38:57.380 Exactly.

01:38:58.220 It's unlikely.

01:38:58.740 It might be a set that there-

01:39:00.960 It might be a set, like, of a town.

01:39:02.680 And it just happens to be moving down the, you know, sidewalk because they're getting ready to film another movie.

01:39:08.720 Right.

01:39:08.860 And all of a sudden there's a town behind them.

01:39:10.820 Continuity is not necessarily the strong point.

01:39:13.280 It's like, you know, you're watching a movie from 1845 and a plane flies by.

01:39:17.120 It's like that type of stuff goes on, the equivalent in Hallmark movies.

01:39:21.100 I love when the blizzard is happening and they walk into an indoor setting and they've got supposedly snow all through their hair.

01:39:29.760 And they could be indoors for 15 minutes, not a single flake has melted.

01:39:34.580 I wonder if that-

01:39:35.580 Wow, that is really frozen snow that can stand up to 70 degrees inside.

01:39:41.140 Or is it perhaps-

01:39:42.320 Or is it perhaps-

01:39:43.640 Yes.

01:39:44.060 That they've decided they're not going to use fossil fuels.

01:39:48.080 Maybe.

01:39:48.540 And so they are-

01:39:49.720 It's just as cold inside as it is outside.

01:39:52.460 Yes.

01:39:52.840 Okay.

01:39:53.460 Yes.

01:39:53.760 I mean, that'd be the responsible thing to do.

01:39:56.980 It would be.

01:39:58.220 It would be the woke thing to do.

01:40:00.560 So your number one is Elf?

01:40:03.120 My number one is, yeah, Elf.

01:40:05.440 And then my number two is Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

01:40:08.340 I have that at four.

01:40:09.660 Okay.

01:40:10.540 Well, you're wrong.

01:40:12.500 See, again, you're being disagreeable.

01:40:13.960 I think we're in the same vicinity here.

01:40:15.380 I'm surprised, actually.

01:40:16.500 Then I have Christmas Vacation.

01:40:18.500 I have that at number three as well.

01:40:19.680 Oh my gosh.

01:40:20.240 You know what?

01:40:21.740 I'm telling you.

01:40:22.740 Where do you want to go on vacation?

01:40:23.780 You two should be married.

01:40:24.720 Where do you want to go?

01:40:25.440 My wife and I, we don't agree on anything when it comes to vacations.

01:40:32.620 If it's not a beach, she's really not that interested.

01:40:37.960 And it's got to be a beach vacation.

01:40:42.240 I'm like, hey, maybe we could go.

01:40:43.800 Nope.

01:40:44.860 But maybe we could.

01:40:45.700 Nope.

01:40:46.580 And I want to do things.

01:40:48.520 Like, I can't, no, I understand this.

01:40:50.840 It's not a beach, but it's warm.

01:40:53.200 I really want to go to Chernobyl.

01:40:55.340 Oh my gosh.

01:40:56.160 That's totally, it's on my literal bucket list.

01:40:58.620 It is on mine too.

01:41:00.220 It is.

01:41:00.600 It is.

01:41:01.060 A hundred percent true.

01:41:02.300 One hundred percent.

01:41:03.640 Like, Red Square.

01:41:05.820 I don't want to see all of Russia. 1.00

01:41:07.520 I just want to see the parts where I grew up.

01:41:09.580 It's probably not as for you.

01:41:11.920 I'd like to see some things in China.

01:41:15.080 Don't want to eat there.

01:41:16.000 Wait, are you saying you grew up in Russia?

01:41:18.280 No, I grew up.

01:41:19.840 Oh, crap.

01:41:20.840 I have blown cover.

01:41:22.400 Run! 0.68

01:41:24.260 They're on to me!

01:41:26.240 No, it's that I grew up with the Cold War, and I always wanted to see Russia. 0.72

01:41:32.780 I always wanted to see that.

01:41:34.660 My wife is like, I'm not going.

01:41:36.880 Any time of the year, I'm not going.

01:41:38.800 It's very questionable whether you, Glenn Beck, should go to Russia.

01:41:42.500 I will say you will definitely get murdered.

01:41:44.340 Right.

01:41:45.040 And Ukraine is probably not the best place either. 0.51

01:41:48.420 But however, it's Chernobyl.

01:41:50.100 It's Chernobyl. 0.64

01:41:50.740 That's worth, you know, that's worth.

01:41:52.120 I mean, I got to go.

01:41:52.800 I want to see the Ferris wheel.

01:41:55.160 Oh, the spookiest places?

01:41:56.920 Yeah.

01:41:57.480 That's what I want to see there.

01:41:58.460 Yeah.

01:41:58.980 And you can do it now.

01:42:00.040 You can do it.

01:42:00.480 I know you can.

01:42:01.020 You go to the exclusion zone.

01:42:02.220 I know.

01:42:02.540 We should go.

01:42:03.580 We should go together.

01:42:04.880 I would love this.

01:42:05.580 Do you know where I almost went this year?

01:42:08.120 Turkmenistan.

01:42:09.240 That's on my bucket list, too.

01:42:10.720 Mm-hmm.

01:42:11.100 Mm-hmm.

01:42:11.560 Almost.

01:42:12.140 And I was going.

01:42:13.580 Almost went.

01:42:14.400 That's the place.

01:42:14.500 And I was like, I can't go without Stu.

01:42:16.780 Stu would be so pissed.

01:42:17.780 If you went to Turkmenistan without me, I would never talk to you again.

01:42:20.480 Yeah.

01:42:20.540 Now, that might be your goal.

01:42:21.780 Yeah, well.

01:42:22.160 And so I can understand that.

01:42:23.860 It is an asset that I have to put on the table.

01:42:26.180 Turkmenistan, if you don't know, had a very, and still does, have a very strange dictator

01:42:31.580 that took power after the fall of communism and littered the internet.

01:42:36.340 Oh, he's still alive?

01:42:37.360 No, he died.

01:42:38.260 His dentist took over the country.

01:42:40.240 No, seriously?

01:42:41.100 Yes.

01:42:41.620 His dentist took over.

01:42:42.660 That is a great.

01:42:43.440 Hermie?

01:42:44.100 That makes it even better.

01:42:45.960 I want to be a dentist.

01:42:48.200 Literally, his dentist took over the country.

01:42:50.800 Now, wait, wait.

01:42:53.220 Yeah.

01:42:54.160 I think you don't just throw that out, you know?

01:42:58.120 Like, the dictator of Turkmenistan is up on the roof.

01:43:01.280 You have to break this to us a little bit.

01:43:06.200 Yeah, and then he slipped off, and his dentist is now in charge.

01:43:10.940 Everyone has a plan for succession in Turkmenistan.

01:43:14.020 It's the dentist.

01:43:16.380 Oh, I've got to go.

01:43:17.780 I've got to go.

01:43:21.260 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:44:43.240 It's available on the Studios America podcast page now.

01:44:52.580 It's beginning to look a lot like Venezuela.

01:44:59.480 Everywhere you go.

01:45:02.580 From Medoro and Chavez, to Ocasio-Cortez, Pelosi, Kamala, and Senile Joe.

01:45:13.900 It's beginning to look a lot like Venezuela.

01:45:20.040 Soon, we'll all be flogged.

01:45:24.000 At dinner, you'll need to bring your favorite seasoning for the roasted dog.

01:45:35.320 Well, there's a mountain of dead and a criminal threat.

01:45:38.920 It is such a socialist treat.

01:45:41.840 A band of marauders have captured our daughters and amputated my feet.

01:45:46.360 The reindeer have been murdered and the elves have all been beat. 0.92

01:45:51.740 It's beginning to look a lot like Venezuela.

01:45:57.620 Oh, the kids have frowns.

01:46:01.600 The tree is red and green.

01:46:05.120 It is splattered with blood and spleen.

01:46:08.420 And Santa Claus is not coming to town.

01:46:13.000 It's beginning to look a lot like Venezuela.

01:46:17.680 Venezuela, soon we'll lose our soul. 1.00

01:46:23.500 But the thing that will make us cry is the painful way we die.

01:46:29.700 As our heads all roll.

01:46:34.280 Oh, well, the temperature's higher from all of the fires and rampant is the disease.

01:46:40.360 There's some execution and much destitution and I am covered by fleas.

01:46:45.280 And have you ever noticed that the water smells like cheese?

01:46:50.520 It's beginning to look a lot like Venezuela.

01:46:57.000 Begging for some food.

01:47:01.240 But the thing that will make us flee is the worthless currency.

01:47:07.020 Holy crap, we're screwed.

01:47:09.880 And it's beginning to look a lot like Venezuela.

01:47:17.220 We're Venezuela.

01:47:19.960 Cause Biden failed ya.

01:47:22.520 It's beginning to look a lot like Venezuela from Stu and his orchestra. 0.97

01:47:34.560 Click subscribe and listen as many times as you like.

01:47:37.980 I mean, it's a good way to celebrate the oncoming socialism that's coming to this country this holiday season.

01:47:43.180 You know, I think what says Christmas more than any other Christmas tradition or movie,

01:47:47.900 especially in this time when we need it the most, Die Hard.

01:47:53.820 You know, I think.

01:47:54.940 Is it a Christmas movie?

01:47:56.200 It's absolutely a Christmas movie.

01:47:57.660 It hasn't been to me in my mind until this year.

01:48:00.940 I think we're there now.

01:48:01.680 Yeah, we're there now.

01:48:02.400 I think Die Hard is now a Christmas movie.

01:48:04.020 Yeah, it is a Christmas movie, but it's a late Christmas movie.

01:48:07.200 It's like when you've watched all the other Christmas movies.

01:48:10.300 You know what I mean?

01:48:10.840 Well, it occurs during Christmas.

01:48:13.480 Yeah, but you don't necessarily watch that one before Christmas.

01:48:17.160 Like you've watched, like, you know, next week, we're as a family, we're all going on a vacation.

01:48:22.400 So we're all going to, you know, one of the things we do every night, we're going to watch another Christmas movie.

01:48:26.360 And so we do that.

01:48:27.740 And, you know, like by the 27th, you're like, okay.

01:48:32.340 And that's when Die Hard comes in.

01:48:34.440 That's when you're like, that's a Christmas movie.

01:48:36.880 And everybody tends to agree at that point.

01:48:39.260 Yeah.

01:48:39.940 You know?

01:48:40.860 I could see that.

01:48:41.660 I think that's a solid Christmas movie.

01:48:44.560 I think I'm kind of on that front.

01:48:47.160 What do you think about Rocky IV?

01:48:48.340 We just saw Rocky IV, the director's cut.

01:48:50.500 Where is Christmas in that?

01:48:52.200 The Russian fight happens on December 25th.

01:48:56.040 I am willing to make that a Christmas movie.

01:48:59.880 I'm writing that down.

01:49:01.040 That's a Christmas.

01:49:01.600 That's like maybe the 26th.

01:49:03.500 Die Hard the 27th.

01:49:04.660 I like that.

01:49:05.300 Yeah.

01:49:05.460 I think that's if you want to get away with Rocky IV.

01:49:08.020 Rocky IV.

01:49:09.040 Yeah.

01:49:09.400 Now, you might say really only one scene happens on Christmas and it's in Russia where there's

01:49:15.580 no Christmas markings.

01:49:16.740 But if you watch closely, the kids are cheering on their dad with who's got a Santa hat on.

01:49:21.640 Yeah.

01:49:22.060 Oh, well, there you go.

01:49:23.020 Right.

01:49:23.480 There you go.

01:49:23.980 I mean, how much Christmas do you want in your Christmas movie?

01:49:26.780 That's enough.

01:49:27.560 And you're down to like, you know, Jingle All the Way or the Polar Express at that point.

01:49:32.780 Oh, I like Polar Express.

01:49:33.940 You don't like Polar Express?

01:49:35.160 Polar Express.

01:49:35.780 I like it.

01:49:36.580 I'm in the middle on that one.

01:49:38.320 That's in my upper section.

01:49:39.940 That was my lowest one was Jingle All the Way.

01:49:41.600 Jingle All the Way.

01:49:43.000 That's no chance.

01:49:44.460 That's not even on my list.

01:49:46.740 That's not that.

01:49:47.220 If that was an option for me.

01:49:48.120 I followed the rules.

01:49:49.080 But if that was an option for me, I would have done that.

01:49:50.740 Well, that's, you know, I color outside the lines.

01:49:53.680 You do.

01:49:54.040 You know what I mean?

01:49:54.620 And that's just the way I am.

01:49:56.220 I don't recognize that.

01:49:57.620 It's not that it's not a Christmas movie.

01:49:59.340 It's just not a movie.

01:50:01.840 Okay.

01:50:02.320 Yeah.

01:50:02.540 Yeah.

01:50:02.980 So, yeah, it's got Christmas in it, but I wouldn't classify that.

01:50:06.740 The Santa Claus Trilogy.

01:50:09.000 I love them.

01:50:09.920 Really?

01:50:10.400 I do.

01:50:10.720 You know.

01:50:11.200 I like them.

01:50:11.540 I mean, two is kind of stupid with the toy Santa or whatever.

01:50:15.040 I don't like that part of it.

01:50:15.680 Yeah, I don't like that one.

01:50:16.620 But I just speed through the toy Santa parts.

01:50:19.020 That's almost all of it, isn't it?

01:50:20.440 Yeah, it's a lot of it.

01:50:21.460 It's a lot of it.

01:50:22.220 It's a lot.

01:50:23.020 Yeah.

01:50:23.460 And I like the one with Martin Short.

01:50:25.400 Kind of.

01:50:25.940 Not as good as the first one.

01:50:27.460 Right.

01:50:27.700 But it's better than two.

01:50:29.340 That's for sure.

01:50:29.760 Yeah.

01:50:30.080 Do you guys watch Planes, Trains, and Automobiles on Thanksgiving?

01:50:33.320 They do not.

01:50:33.720 Or anywhere around that.

01:50:35.300 That is a holiday movie, isn't it?

01:50:36.980 It's a holiday movie.

01:50:37.940 It's all built around Thanksgiving week.

01:50:40.400 That's right, yeah.

01:50:40.980 And it is hysterical.

01:50:43.240 We watch it every year.

01:50:45.160 We don't watch it for Christmas.

01:50:46.340 We watch it, you know, sometime the week before Thanksgiving or whenever.

01:50:49.320 But we have to watch it.

01:50:51.620 And that's an all-time classic comedy.

01:50:53.440 Oh my gosh, that is one of the funniest things ever.

01:50:56.140 You know what's terrible and always has been is Home Alone.

01:51:00.080 What a horrible movie that is.

01:51:01.580 I don't know about that.

01:51:02.320 It's just dumb.

01:51:03.440 Really?

01:51:03.880 Have you watched it?

01:51:04.500 People, your mom didn't realize you were home until she got to Paris?

01:51:10.840 Okay.

01:51:11.740 It's not, I will say, many of these movies involve literal magic.

01:51:16.980 Yes.

01:51:17.460 So I don't know that questioning the plot line of Home Alone is a great point.

01:51:22.200 But considering the universe they exist in, that's important to me.

01:51:27.200 Yeah.

01:51:27.460 That's important.

01:51:28.080 It is important.

01:51:28.820 This one?

01:51:29.160 Yeah, you've got your standards.

01:51:31.460 Yes, I do.

01:51:32.000 And I would not.

01:51:32.620 Yes.

01:51:33.420 It's like Star Trek can be realistic because it's within that universe.

01:51:37.980 Right.

01:51:38.440 Home Alone, not so much.

01:51:39.920 Not so much.

01:51:40.540 Not so much.

01:51:40.800 I would have to agree with him.

01:51:41.980 It is a complete.

01:51:42.560 Well, I thought it was a little implausible when they then did it again.

01:51:46.480 Yes.

01:51:46.840 Yes.

01:51:46.960 Home Alone, too.

01:51:48.100 Could I ask you a question?

01:51:50.060 Whatever.

01:51:50.520 This is a serious question.

01:51:51.400 Where was CPS, by the way?

01:51:52.920 Right.

01:51:53.320 Where were they?

01:51:54.000 Well, it was in the days before.

01:51:55.560 Yeah, I guess so.

01:51:55.860 During the Reagan administration when they just didn't give a damn.

01:51:59.320 Tell me this.

01:52:00.380 Whatever happened to John Hughes?

01:52:02.880 Because he made a string.

01:52:04.300 I mean, you think of the 1980s and it's John Hughes.

01:52:07.620 And the reason why I thought of this, I went shopping with my daughter.

01:52:11.000 She was looking for a dress or something.

01:52:13.040 And I went shopping for my teenage daughter.

01:52:14.820 And I'm walking through the stores and I'm like, this is 1985.

01:52:18.520 Everything in the store right now is 1985.

01:52:21.840 And I said to her, I'm not buying anything in this store for you because it's all from 1985.

01:52:27.200 And I made the mistake.

01:52:28.860 And there are pictures of me in clothes that would reflect this spirit.

01:52:34.560 And it's not like I can give you some sage advice and say, don't have, you know, you can wear it.

01:52:39.760 Just make sure there's no pictures of you because now everything is on, everything is forever.

01:52:45.560 My pictures of me and Tanya with the big hair and the woof.

01:52:51.020 I mean, those things are kept in an album.

01:52:54.140 You only bring those out for friends.

01:52:56.760 You take pictures in these.

01:52:58.840 I mean, it's back.

01:53:00.220 Meaning like the 80s style is back?

01:53:02.540 Oh, yeah.

01:53:02.900 It's like walking into a John Hughes movie.

01:53:04.880 Really?

01:53:05.100 Oh, my gosh.

01:53:05.720 Yes.

01:53:06.020 It was, it is so bizarre.

01:53:08.660 By the way, I have some bad news.

01:53:10.820 He's very sick.

01:53:11.880 John Hughes.

01:53:12.620 Oh, no.

01:53:13.480 We've lost him.

01:53:14.740 Wow.

01:53:15.140 Thank you for breaking it to me.

01:53:16.640 Yeah.

01:53:16.940 In 2009.

01:53:17.620 So gently.

01:53:18.340 In 2009.

01:53:19.240 Yes.

01:53:19.580 What happened?

01:53:19.880 Just 12 years ago.

01:53:20.820 He was like so young too.

01:53:23.020 How old was he?

01:53:23.220 He's only 59.

01:53:24.680 Wow.

01:53:24.960 So he was young.

01:53:26.140 I suspect murder and foul play.

01:53:30.440 Too soon.

01:53:31.380 Too soon.

01:53:31.960 Too soon.

01:53:32.260 Too soon.

01:53:32.560 Dude, I don't feel appropriate laughing at that because this guy just, listen to this

01:53:37.780 string though.

01:53:38.320 National Lampoon's Vacation.

01:53:39.740 Right.

01:53:40.120 National Lampoon's European Vacation.

01:53:41.020 Wait, that was John Hughes?

01:53:42.700 Yeah, he wrote it.

01:53:43.980 Huh.

01:53:44.420 John Hughes is for every kind of cheesy kind of funny comedy, especially with John Candy.

01:53:52.440 He made all of them.

01:53:53.580 He made all of them.

01:53:55.120 So National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.

01:53:57.300 Okay.

01:53:57.520 Mr. Mom.

01:53:58.600 16 Candles.

01:53:59.260 Oh, I love that movie.

01:53:59.920 Weird Science, The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, are the greatest movies

01:54:03.800 of all time, obviously.

01:54:04.820 Pretty in Pink, Some Kind of Wonderful, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.

01:54:09.120 Those are classics.

01:54:09.900 She's Having a Baby, Uncle Buck.

01:54:11.800 Wow.

01:54:12.560 I love Uncle Buck.

01:54:13.280 Like every single one of those.

01:54:15.480 Every single one.

01:54:16.140 I don't think there's one in there that I, well, Weird Science, I don't think I've ever

01:54:19.400 seen.

01:54:20.320 But what?

01:54:22.280 99% of those movies are classics.

01:54:25.240 Yeah.

01:54:25.400 And then it just stopped.

01:54:27.820 Yeah.

01:54:28.260 What year did the...

01:54:29.400 Yeah.

01:54:29.600 When was his last movie?

01:54:30.800 And then you just like, or did he just start making bombs?

01:54:33.840 Well, he did Home Alone in 1990, then Home Alone 2 in 1992, Home Alone 3 in 1997.

01:54:40.340 Well, you can't.

01:54:41.100 That kind of does seem like it.

01:54:41.600 And nothing in between those two?

01:54:44.560 I'm reading sort of the highlights here.

01:54:46.320 I guess he did Flubber.

01:54:48.160 You remember Flubber?

01:54:48.740 Oh, yeah.

01:54:49.220 Was that Robin Williams?

01:54:50.080 Yeah.

01:54:50.700 Okay.

01:54:51.040 That was not a success.

01:54:52.100 No.

01:54:52.240 That was not...

01:54:53.140 That didn't even feel like a John Hughes movie, though.

01:54:55.980 Yeah.

01:54:56.240 I mean, his were very formulaic.

01:54:58.560 Yeah.

01:54:58.700 And really, they were full of heart, I thought.

01:55:01.620 Yeah.

01:55:01.940 It sort of ended right around Home Alone 2.

01:55:04.300 He did Beethoven.

01:55:05.700 Remember the big dog movie?

01:55:07.140 Oof.

01:55:07.480 Curly Sue. 1.00

01:55:08.620 Wow.

01:55:08.880 Yeah.

01:55:09.560 Curly Sue? 0.97

01:55:10.760 I think he took his own life.

01:55:15.020 He couldn't handle the shame of Curly Sue.

01:55:17.200 He's like, Curly Sue.

01:55:18.500 I can't do it.

01:55:19.040 What the hell happened to me?

01:55:20.340 I've tried for 17 years to live with that.

01:55:22.940 I can't.

01:55:23.800 I just can't.

01:55:26.640 Okay.

01:55:28.160 Yeah.

01:55:28.540 Died of a heart attack.

01:55:30.040 59 years old in New York.

01:55:32.160 Wow.

01:55:32.740 Yeah.

01:55:33.540 It's too bad, because he was...

01:55:35.000 He literally...

01:55:36.160 If you...

01:55:37.240 And I didn't know it was all those movies, but I looked...

01:55:40.140 I literally walked into the store.

01:55:42.720 I don't remember what store it was.

01:55:44.120 It was all 1980 stuff.

01:55:45.580 And I said, I'm walking into...

01:55:47.940 My daughter.

01:55:48.600 I'm walking into a John Hughes movie.

01:55:50.940 And she said, who's that?

01:55:52.040 And I said, planes, trains, and automobiles.

01:55:53.920 And she's like, what does that have to do with this?

01:55:56.200 And I said, all of the clothing.

01:55:58.320 It's all coming back.

01:56:00.360 And run from it, kids.

01:56:02.040 Run.

01:56:02.960 Run from it.

01:56:04.140 Not good fashion sense in the 80s.

01:56:06.280 Isn't it not weird, too, as well, as we talked...

01:56:07.980 We mentioned Home Alone with Macaulay Culkin, of course.

01:56:10.680 That now, like, in one of the biggest shows, one of the biggest stars and one of the biggest shows is Kieran Culkin, who is in succession.

01:56:20.260 Right.

01:56:20.460 And he's, like, the best character in that show.

01:56:22.600 He's incredible in that show.

01:56:23.760 He is incredible.

01:56:24.580 And I didn't put that together until recently.

01:56:26.760 Yeah.

01:56:26.960 And you look at him, you're like, I can kind of see Macaulay Culkin there.

01:56:29.760 Yeah.

01:56:30.420 Like, an older Macaulay Culkin.

01:56:31.780 And Kieran Culkin's incredible in that show, which is so weird.

01:56:35.320 I didn't even know he was an actor.

01:56:36.260 I didn't even know he existed, friend.

01:56:37.420 You know what?

01:56:40.600 I have respect for you on that.

01:56:42.100 Okay, good.

01:56:42.480 I have a lot of respect for you on that.

01:56:44.620 You know, when people don't know people that you shouldn't know, you're like, God bless you.

01:56:49.020 No, thank you.

01:56:49.600 But you have a life.

01:56:51.080 Thank you for your ignorance.

01:56:52.740 Thank you, Stu.

01:56:53.820 No, that's a good kind of ignorance, though.

01:56:56.560 American Financing.

01:56:58.100 A radio listener of ours, Michael, wrote in about his experience with American Financing.

01:57:02.440 He's been working with Thea at American Financing since we made the decision to refi.

01:57:07.940 She has been such a great help answering all of the questions, returning every phone call.

01:57:13.740 I got my answers in email.

01:57:16.700 I think she works 24-7.

01:57:19.840 Best of all, my wife and I didn't have to go to the closing.

01:57:23.520 The closing came to us.

01:58:32.500 Yes.

01:58:32.900 Made entirely out of cookies.

01:58:34.900 It is.

01:58:35.260 So it's good.

01:58:36.000 It's good.

01:58:36.620 A lot of people eat their rooms before they leave.

01:58:38.600 There is a new movie out that I cannot wait to see called American Underdog.

01:58:44.840 Oh, yeah.

01:58:45.880 This is...

01:58:46.500 This is the Kurt Warner?

01:58:47.280 Kurt Warner.

01:58:47.980 Yeah, yeah.

01:58:48.360 That looks good.

01:58:48.860 Oh, me too.

01:58:49.200 I didn't grow up with...

01:58:50.400 I mean, I don't follow sports, so I didn't...

01:58:52.980 You know, I don't care about Kurt Warner.

01:58:54.780 But it looks like one of those great football movies, you know, Invincible.

01:59:00.460 Yeah.

01:59:00.680 It looks like one of those.

01:59:02.280 And I guess you guys would know...

01:59:04.440 His story is incredible.

01:59:05.360 His story is not incredible.

01:59:07.120 Working at a grocery store, right before he wound up getting a job.

01:59:11.580 He was in the Arena Football League for a while.

01:59:13.700 How was this not a movie beforehand?

01:59:16.580 I mean, this is a great story.

01:59:18.360 He hasn't been out of the league that long.

01:59:19.620 Yeah.

01:59:19.940 He's fairly young.

01:59:21.580 He's, what, late 40s, maybe?

01:59:23.880 Have we met him?

01:59:24.300 Early 50s?

01:59:25.140 Kurt?

01:59:25.460 No.

01:59:25.720 Yeah.

01:59:26.120 I've never met him.

01:59:27.440 I mean, he played into the mid-2010s, didn't he?

01:59:30.660 Yeah.

01:59:30.940 In 13, 14, something like that?

01:59:32.660 I don't know when he actually retired.

01:59:33.960 But he played for a long time.

01:59:35.440 He was...

01:59:35.840 Maybe it was 2010.

01:59:36.180 He's in the Hall of Fame.

01:59:37.180 We should get him on.

01:59:38.120 Let's see if we can get him on for the first of the year.

01:59:40.320 He'd be great.

01:59:40.740 Because that's, I mean, that is truly, don't give up on your dreams.

01:59:44.460 Yeah.

01:59:44.860 And by all accounts, he's a really good guy, too.

01:59:47.260 He's like, well, you know, like he, everybody seems to love him.

01:59:50.360 And his story is incredible.

01:59:51.720 And he is a legit Hall of Famer.

01:59:53.440 I mean, he's one of the, you know, I mean, those teams, those greatest show on turf teams

01:59:57.400 were, they were good.

01:59:58.480 It's the best offenses I think I've ever seen.

02:00:00.660 American Underdog is the name of the movie.

02:00:03.140 And I can't wait to see it.

02:00:04.360 I think it's open in select cities now.

02:00:06.380 Does it open wide on Christmas Day?

02:00:08.640 I think that's when, yeah, maybe, maybe I'm not sure, but it looks great.

02:00:12.660 Are there any other Christmas movies or any movies opening up?

02:00:15.900 Movies are so weird now.

02:00:17.200 This used to be a huge time to release movies.

02:00:21.320 And I can't think of anything that is coming out besides this one.

02:00:25.380 And they can't figure out really what to do yet.

02:00:27.200 You know, they, in this kind of weird place we're in with the pandemic, should we release

02:00:31.820 the movies in theaters?

02:00:33.020 Should we release them at home?

02:00:34.420 Should they be in both?

02:00:35.500 They're trying to find the right balance there.

02:00:38.300 And I think they're really struggling with it.

02:00:39.580 Here's what you need to say.

02:00:40.440 California, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, grow up.

02:00:45.020 Illinois, grow up.

02:00:46.740 Grow a set.

02:00:47.680 Go to the movie theater.

02:00:49.100 Stop wearing the mask.

02:00:50.360 What's wrong with you?

02:00:52.140 Okay.

02:00:52.880 That's my holiday advice.

02:00:54.280 The Spider-Man movie comes out on the 17th, which is today.

02:00:57.460 So Spider-Man is out in wide, wide release theaters today.

02:01:00.780 Nightmare Alley is another one that is out.

02:01:02.440 I've seen commercials for, I don't know that much about it.

02:01:04.020 Oh, that's with, oh gosh, what's his name?

02:01:07.520 That was with Lady Gaga in The Star is Born. 0.95

02:01:11.380 Oh, yeah.

02:01:12.680 I know who you're talking about.

02:01:13.860 Yeah, he's great.

02:01:14.360 I can't think of his name either.

02:01:15.040 I like him.

02:01:15.100 He's great, yeah.

02:01:15.840 Bradley Cooper?

02:01:16.440 Yeah, Bradley Cooper.

02:01:17.280 Thank you.

02:01:22.100 Matrix Resurrections.

02:01:23.640 Oh, wow.

02:01:24.260 Really?

02:01:24.580 That starts today?

02:01:25.660 I think you can watch that one at home.

02:01:26.880 That's the 22nd.

02:01:27.560 Wow.

02:01:27.880 22nd.

02:01:28.200 Oh, the Tender Bar and the Kingsman, the Kingsman.

02:01:31.840 Ooh, this is the going to the Kingsman.

02:01:33.860 Yeah, yeah, that looks good.

02:01:35.140 All right, we will see you in the new year.

02:01:37.660 Stay safe.

02:01:39.560 Thank God we made it through another year.

02:01:42.400 Literally, thank God.
