00:00:17.640 Not so far. We're getting there, though.

00:00:19.800 I'm getting closer and closer.

00:00:21.140 Well, you know my old war injuries act up all the time.

00:00:23.720 Oh, yeah.

00:00:24.100 And the football injuries are crazy.

00:00:26.680 All those big games you played back in the day.

00:00:29.060 I'm kind of like the Cowboys last night.

00:00:31.440 I'm not familiar. I'm boycotting the NFL.

00:00:33.460 Really? Yeah.

00:01:03.100 ReliefFactor.com.

00:01:06.860 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:10.560 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:13.160 Hello, America.

00:01:14.600 We are so glad that you joined us.

00:01:16.700 We have a lot on our plate today.

00:01:19.720 We're going to show you ways to feel really good about the holiday.

00:01:27.020 I did something this weekend that was unbelievable.

00:01:30.760 And today, you could do it, too.

00:01:34.260 Also, we've got some bad news for you.

00:01:36.940 What happened in Europe?

00:01:38.340 It was a weekend of rage spreading throughout Europe.

00:01:41.960 It was a concussion wave that just rippled across the continent.

00:01:48.500 20,000 marched in London.

00:01:51.400 Tear gas and water cannons fired off in Belgium as angry rioters tore up paving stones, ripped off road signs, and threw fireworks at police.

00:02:01.920 Meanwhile, the same exact scene was taking place simultaneously in the Netherlands.

00:02:08.480 Many of the rioters donned the famous French yellow vests.

00:02:13.080 And I haven't even begun to tell you yet what was happening in France.

00:02:20.920 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:23.440 That's coming up.

00:02:24.420 First, I want to tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

00:02:28.120 It is American Financing.

00:02:29.860 I did something so cool this weekend.

00:02:33.540 I was inspired by Tyler Perry, who Friday released this video where he went off and he just paid off everybody's layaway at Walmart.

00:02:40.520 And I just thought that was great.

00:02:42.420 And so I talked to my wife and I said, let's go.

00:02:46.940 Let's try that.

00:02:47.780 Let's do that.

00:02:48.500 Let's see how much that is.

00:02:49.900 Can we do that?

00:02:51.020 So we found out and we could do it.

00:02:53.200 And so we did.

00:02:54.160 We went in and we paid everybody's layaway off in Walmart.

00:02:58.800 It was incredible.

00:03:01.220 It sounds like it would be.

00:03:02.600 I can't wait to tell you the whole story.

00:03:04.140 But anyway, what I what I learned is how close to the edge.

00:03:08.600 So many people are firsthand.

00:03:10.320 I mean, I don't know how many people I held and cried on Saturday.

00:03:13.220 It was so cool.

00:03:15.100 People are close to the edge.

00:03:16.980 And if you are one of those people, you're going to get a call from a credit person and they're going to say, hey, you know, we can help you repair your credit.

00:03:25.740 We can we can help you get out of, you know, all of those high interest loans.

00:03:29.700 Yeah.

00:03:29.880 Well, they destroy your credit.

00:03:31.360 Actually, what you want to do is consider if you're having financial problems, a service to settle your debt for much less.

00:03:42.180 It's a consolidation loan.

00:03:45.020 You consolidate all your debt.

00:03:46.860 You move it into a new loan that you pay off with a much lower interest rate.

00:03:52.080 You may be able to save five hundred to a thousand dollars every single month just in interest.

00:03:58.920 And you also may be able to increase your credit score.

00:04:03.580 So go to American Financing.

00:04:06.260 Talk to them about this.

00:04:07.920 Save money and get out of debt.

00:04:11.200 Take a deep breath.

00:04:12.680 Take a deep breath.

00:04:14.220 Christmas isn't all about the toys and it's not all about the stuff.

00:04:17.380 It's really not.

00:04:18.240 Take a deep breath.

00:04:19.360 It's all going to be good.

00:04:20.340 I want you to call American Financing at 800-906-2440.

00:04:25.500 That's 800-906-2440, AmericanFinancing.net.

00:04:31.760 American Financing Corporation, NMLS, 182334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

00:04:45.460 So while you were probably putting up the Christmas tree or doing something, in Europe, they weren't doing that.

00:04:53.760 Europe, they were kind of raging in the streets.

00:04:57.980 And it was happening in England, Belgium, the Netherlands, and France, where over 130,000 rioters took over the streets all across France on Sunday.

00:05:10.200 More than a thousand people were arrested.

00:05:13.560 Now, this is the fourth straight weekend where the streets of Paris were literally on fire.

00:05:19.840 Rioters burned cars.

00:05:21.300 They smashed windows.

00:05:22.360 They looted stores.

00:05:23.500 You know, there's nothing that says, hey, you should listen to me politically.

00:05:29.640 More than really just looting of a store.

00:05:34.360 90,000 police officers and National Guard were called in to try just to maintain order in France.

00:05:42.420 The scenes coming out of Europe this weekend look like some third world or war ravaged country.

00:05:49.240 It looked more like Egypt than it did the continent that gave birth to the Renaissance.

00:05:56.380 So now, tell me, why is everybody so pissed off?

00:06:01.760 Macron canceled his fateful gas tax.

00:06:06.700 There is no equivalent being proposed in Belgium.

00:06:11.040 There is no equivalent in the Netherlands or in the UK.

00:06:13.660 Here's what one 67-year-old protester in the Netherlands said.

00:06:19.800 Our children are hardworking people, but they have to pay taxes everywhere.

00:06:24.660 You can't get housing anymore.

00:06:26.520 It's not going well in Dutch society.

00:06:28.920 The social welfare net we grew up with is gone.

00:06:35.060 Now, if you think the 2008 financial crisis ever really ended, you're wrong.

00:06:41.200 It was swept under the rug.

00:06:43.140 That's it.

00:06:44.140 It was hidden for a while by a wave of printed money and low interest loans.

00:06:49.180 But just like with socialism, eventually the money well dries, and there's nothing else to pull up in your bucket.

00:06:58.300 Since the 2008 financial crisis, global debt has hit new record levels.

00:07:03.840 At over 300% to GDP ratio, the global debt has now reached more than $240 trillion.

00:07:16.220 The entire world is sitting on a powder keg.

00:07:25.040 By the way, the whole world, if we took everything that everybody made every year, it's about $50 trillion.

00:07:33.000 But that's it.

00:07:35.340 Eventually, something's going to light the spark.

00:07:39.320 People mocked me so hard when I was at Fox, and I said the Arab Spring might be that spark. 0.87

00:07:44.220 The Arab Spring led to the migrant crisis, which also led to the caliphate. 0.82

00:07:51.360 The Greek sovereign debt crisis soon followed after.

00:07:55.520 The migrant crisis woke Europeans up to the very real fact that their governments couldn't even provide for them, 1.00

00:08:01.120 much less millions of migrants flooding out of the Middle East and northern Africa.

00:08:05.140 The result was a wave of populist movements on both the left and the right to challenge the established government.

00:08:12.840 It is exactly the chalkboard I laid out at Fox.

00:08:16.960 Exactly.

00:08:19.140 Macron's gas tax was the latest spark, but this all began 10 years ago, and it's now a monster.

00:08:25.280 It's a monster that the original organizers have completely lost control of, and it's spreading.

00:08:32.540 The question is, will it be put out?

00:08:35.980 Can it be put out before it spreads here?

00:08:39.420 What will the final spark be before Americans begin putting on their own yellow vests?

00:08:44.660 Will it be immigration?

00:08:46.540 Will it be the wall?

00:08:47.620 Health care?

00:08:48.340 Taxes?

00:08:49.580 Spending?

00:08:52.820 Because the government has failed to listen to the people here as well.

00:08:58.740 Hopefully, we don't don yellow vests and start burning things in the streets. 0.63

00:09:04.720 I mean, Antifa has already got that market cornered.

00:09:07.620 I don't think we need any competitors.

00:09:09.320 What's so frustrating is, Stu, you remember, by the way, welcome back, Stu.

00:09:16.120 Thank you, Glenn.

00:09:16.720 You remember the monologue that I did at Fox with the little blue book?

00:09:26.580 Yes.

00:09:27.460 The coming insurrection?

00:09:28.520 Yes.

00:09:29.380 The coming insurrection.

00:09:30.900 And remember how people said that had no relevance on anything that was happening?

00:09:35.580 This is ridiculous.

00:09:36.900 This is a this is a rarely read book out of France by just the intellectual and universities.

00:09:45.620 And you were you were blamed for drawing attention to it.

00:09:49.180 I remember they were like, well, you're going to put ideas in people's heads.

00:09:53.020 Oh, you're doing it.

00:09:54.120 The book that you didn't write in are criticizing.

00:09:56.140 But you're putting the ideas in people's heads.

00:09:57.660 So I I remember holding it up on TV and saying, you have to read this because this is what's coming.

00:10:04.660 And I went through it on the air and it was truly remarkable that nobody listened to it, because what did it say?

00:10:13.620 If you were one of those who watched the show or if you went out and read it, what it said was, we're a bunch of communists.

00:10:23.080 We've always been communists.

00:10:24.440 But we played along and we played along with the left and all of these socialists, all of these progressives that said they were going to turn us communists.

00:10:39.320 They were going to give us the state.

00:10:41.440 We were going to workers of the world unite.

00:10:43.680 And they lied to us and they keep telling us, wait, wait, we need some more voices.

00:10:50.280 We need to elect some more people.

00:10:52.140 Just basically the same thing.

00:10:53.600 We have to have the House and we have to have the Senate and we have to have the White House.

00:10:57.280 If we could just get all three then and then nothing happens.

00:11:01.880 And so they were making the case that it's time to tear the system apart.

00:11:06.840 It's time to burn it to the ground because these people are liars.

00:11:10.300 And so we'll burn it to the ground and then we'll take it.

00:11:14.760 And we're going to be able to find people that will work with us to burn it down to the ground because people are pissed off on all sides.

00:11:24.200 So let's get them.

00:11:26.720 That was pretty much the message of the coming insurrection written in France around 2006, 2008.

00:11:37.720 This is what's happening.

00:11:40.300 This is exactly what's happening.

00:11:42.440 And it doesn't take a genius to figure it out.

00:11:45.700 It just takes someone who's not so arrogant.

00:11:50.180 Oh, well, that's just ridiculous.

00:11:52.480 Take people at their word.

00:11:55.460 When they say they're going to kill somebody, when they say they're going to destroy a government, what do you say we start taking them at their word?

00:12:04.500 I'm going to destroy the border system.

00:12:07.460 Let's take them at their word.

00:12:09.400 You'd be surprised at just how many things won't surprise you when you actually start taking people seriously and literally.

00:12:20.860 All right.

00:12:26.260 We've changed this half hour here to be able to spend the whole time with you and not really break except for some live commercials.

00:12:38.760 But we're going to stay for the whole first half hour of every hour of this broadcast.

00:12:42.760 We're really glad that you're here.

00:12:46.020 Let me tell you about Blinds.com.

00:12:48.800 Oh, no.

00:12:49.100 Sorry.

00:12:49.500 It's actually Chamonix.

00:12:51.680 Chamonix is really cool.

00:12:53.580 And you're going to a lot of Christmas parties, Glenn.

00:12:55.400 I know you get invited to a lot of them.

00:12:56.800 And I go to all of them.

00:13:00.820 All of them.

00:13:01.540 All of them.

00:13:02.480 You're in the Christmas party situation.

00:13:04.460 And some have noticed that occasionally, maybe around the holidays, I put on a few pounds.

00:13:10.860 You get the kind of double chin.

00:13:12.800 You get the sort of saggy jawline.

00:13:15.520 It's not always pretty.

00:13:16.960 That's what Chamonix is dealing with.

00:13:18.540 They've got the brand new GenuCell jawline treatment, dual peptide and MDL technology, which they tell me to say, but I don't know what any of it means.

00:13:25.060 All I know is...

00:13:26.100 It's good.

00:13:26.320 Yeah, it's good.

00:13:27.280 Yeah.

00:13:27.460 But what I do know is it tightens the saggy jawline you may have.

00:13:30.800 Really?

00:13:31.060 Can I bathe in it?

00:13:32.200 You can bathe.

00:13:32.900 Yes.

00:13:33.380 I'd like to bathe in it.

00:13:34.400 You will look like Brad Pitt in his prime.

00:13:36.180 Really?

00:13:36.560 Yeah, if you use this product.

00:13:37.620 I will.

00:13:38.520 I don't think that's...

00:13:39.140 That's not in their...

00:13:39.820 I'll do all of it all the time.

00:13:41.480 All the time.

00:13:42.520 Bathe in this.

00:13:43.680 But this is what it helps with.

00:13:45.220 And it uses all of this new technology that they came up with.

00:13:48.500 Chamonix is the only one who has it.

00:13:50.120 And GenuCell is the only one that has it.

00:13:51.760 It works amazingly fast.

00:13:52.960 And the results get better every day.

00:13:54.620 I have no idea how it works.

00:13:56.320 But it works.

00:13:57.060 So that's really all you have to know.

00:14:30.920 I cannot wait to talk to you a little bit about what I did this weekend.

00:14:48.360 I'm fascinated by this Walmart thing that you did.

00:14:50.420 It's fantastic.

00:14:51.580 How do we, I mean, how do I get you to talk about that?

00:14:54.380 Are you going to do it today?

00:14:55.440 I am going to do it today.

00:14:56.280 Because that Tyler Perry thing is pretty amazing, too.

00:14:58.260 And you, I mean, you basically just copied him, right?

00:15:00.720 I mean, you just scammed his idea.

00:15:02.080 He came up with a good one.

00:15:02.580 You know, I took it as a challenge.

00:15:04.380 I took it as a challenge.

00:15:06.080 And I challenged others.

00:15:07.400 And I challenged, I challenged everybody.

00:15:10.020 I challenged Stephen Crowder and Ben Shapiro and Bill O'Reilly.

00:15:16.960 Challenge.

00:15:17.520 Just go in and do this.

00:15:18.860 Today is the last day you can do it.

00:15:20.760 Now, you don't have to, you know, spend the money that Tyler Perry or I spent.

00:15:24.940 You can just go in and just do $100 or $50, $10.

00:15:31.100 And you are not going to believe what a difference it makes.

00:15:36.900 I like this because we were shopping on Saturday morning for a battered women's shelter.

00:15:43.880 And so every year we help put together a kind of like a toy store for a battered women's shelter.

00:15:52.380 And so the moms can come in and they can just kind of go shopping for their kids. 1.00

00:15:56.200 Oh, that's cool.

00:15:57.300 And so we were doing that.

00:15:58.460 And we were at Walmart.

00:15:59.540 We do it every year.

00:16:00.300 And we just love it.

00:16:01.560 And because you get to go shopping, you're like, okay, we're going to go shop for three five-year-old boys.

00:16:08.720 And it's all he is going.

00:16:10.240 And we just go shopping for, you know, little boys.

00:16:13.040 We're going to shop for an eight-year-old girl.

00:16:16.720 And so we were at Walmart and I saw the Tyler Perry thing and I thought, hmm, I don't know what that would even cost.

00:16:28.860 I can't even imagine how much that must cost.

00:16:30.780 It was a lot.

00:16:31.680 And so I went to Tanya and the kids because they were all there.

00:16:35.800 And I said, I'm going to go up to the manager and just see, would you guys be willing to kind of forego your Christmas, the big Christmas gifts, you know, just kind of just, hey, we're all having, you know, turkey and something small.

00:16:51.800 Uh, if, if, if, if we did this and everybody was like, yes.

00:16:59.600 Uh, are you sure you didn't mishear?

00:17:01.360 No, I don't, I don't know.

00:17:02.660 It was, it was really cool.

00:17:04.020 What country do you live in?

00:17:04.680 I know it was weird.

00:17:05.460 Uh, and so it took them, it took them all day.

00:17:09.100 We actually had to leave, go do some other things.

00:17:11.040 And they were, they took, it took a long time to total everything up.

00:17:16.120 Um, and then, cause it's, can you just give the basics here?

00:17:20.500 It was, it's layaway, right?

00:17:21.700 It's layaway.

00:17:22.520 So, so this is what, and the reason why I liked this is because it was something that, um, people were working towards.

00:17:31.400 They weren't asking for a handout.

00:17:33.100 They were, you know, and these are the people who, you know, they would take from, I don't know, $500 to some of them were literally $24 on layaway and you go and you make payments on it.

00:17:47.520 And then when you make your last payment, you can take it.

00:17:51.340 And the last day to make a payment is today.

00:17:55.720 And so these people are really struggling, really struggling.

00:17:59.840 And so I just went in, um, and I want to thank American express.

00:18:06.360 Thank you.

00:18:07.020 The American express for shutting off my card.

00:18:10.920 Uh, uh, well, about 40 minutes into it.

00:18:15.420 And I, no, no, seriously, I'm glad they did.

00:18:18.180 Cause I wondered how long it would take because I just kept buying stuff at Walmart over and over and over.

00:18:23.980 They didn't give you like a giant tab to pay.

00:18:26.380 Well, you had to, I thought so.

00:18:28.120 We were supposed to go to a Christmas party and my wife ended up going, this is your way of getting out of Christmas. 1.00

00:18:33.260 It was, it did work out really well for me.

00:18:35.800 Um, but, uh, I thought we were just going to go in and pay one big lump sum and they couldn't do that.

00:18:42.380 And so you had to go in, stand there.

00:18:44.860 I don't know how Tyler did it, but I, I had to go stand there and keep putting my credit card into it and pay them off one by one.

00:18:52.220 Um, and it took, uh, just over two hours to do.

00:18:57.100 And they would just, you know, I'd stick the credit card in and, uh, they'd hit approve and then they'd pull up another deal and it would say the price and I'd stick the credit card number in.

00:19:08.620 I still don't know exactly how much it was.

00:19:11.780 I know relatively close, but I don't know exactly how much it was.

00:19:16.220 This is the type of thing.

00:19:16.940 If I had this information, I could have tweeted to people to go put things on layaway while you were doing this.

00:19:21.660 And just, everyone could have just made out like bandits.

00:19:25.340 That would have been the way to do it.

00:19:26.840 Thank you.

00:19:27.260 You should have given me a heads up.

00:19:28.500 That would have been fun.

00:19:28.940 So that's why I didn't give you a heads up.

00:19:30.960 Uh, and, uh, and so I'll, I'll talk about, uh, I'll talk about what I experienced there, but as long as the Lord gives me, uh, strength and the ability to do that, I want to do that every year.

00:19:47.480 Um, uh, someplace, something, cause it, I, I, I, I felt so many different things and I remembered so many different things.

00:19:58.340 I remembered, uh, I just remembered what it was like on Christmas and not being able to afford.

00:20:06.180 And I remember, uh, and I know you're going to get into the emotion of it, um, coming up, but it's interesting thinking about, we talk about these policies every day as if they're these abstract things in Washington.

00:20:15.620 I remember Nancy Pelosi saying when people got a, what was it?

00:20:18.760 A couple hundred bucks.

00:20:19.980 Um, it was just crumbs off the table when it was a tax cut.

00:20:23.040 And, you know, they talk about, you know, these, these prices are going up, you know, cars are going up a thousand dollars.

00:20:27.820 Ah, you know, people can pay an extra thousand dollars for a car. 0.75

00:20:30.880 These are not, these actually affect people.

00:20:32.980 When you're putting $24 on layaway, you're in a position where, you know, you're, you're desperately trying to make your kids Christmas just a little bit better.

00:20:40.660 I mean, that is, you know, that is, you know, the fact that you're getting $24 back is a big deal.

00:20:46.800 You just, you, it's easy to forget.

00:20:53.040 But I think most of us have been in this situation to where you're counting, you know, you're standing at the gas pump and you're counting and you're having to stop it right at a certain amount.

00:21:04.160 And it's, you know, like $3 and 27 cents because that's all you have.

00:21:09.780 And you're trying to figure out how do I navigate?

00:21:12.860 And then Christmas comes and Christmas is Christmas.

00:21:17.500 The way we celebrate it now is an absolute lie.

00:21:20.620 Ah, it's too strong.

00:21:23.720 I mean, I, there's a lot of things I love about Christmas.

00:21:25.680 Oh, there's a lot of things, but it's, for instance, have you, have you noticed that it's, um, and there'll be presents on the tree.

00:21:33.340 That song, I think it's, there'll be home.

00:21:34.820 I'll be home for Christmas.

00:21:35.860 It's presents on the tree, not under the tree, on the tree.

00:21:41.300 I don't know that I noticed that.

00:21:42.540 Is that Kenny Loggins?

00:21:43.600 No.

00:21:44.560 No.

00:21:44.920 Is that the one that's Kenny Loggins?

00:21:46.600 My wife always listens to that song. 0.85

00:21:48.020 No.

00:21:48.340 I think Ingrid Michelson is the one I've been listening to lately.

00:21:51.280 It's such a great, uh, do you like Ingrid Michelson?

00:21:54.460 I do quite a bit.

00:21:55.300 Okay.

00:21:55.520 So listen to her new Christmas CD.

00:21:58.600 It just came out a couple of weeks ago.

00:22:01.340 It is my favorite.

00:22:02.360 She, um, uh, she, she, she wanted to do something traditional and it's really fantastic.

00:22:11.280 But anyway, think of presents on the tree, right?

00:22:14.600 You can't fit.

00:22:15.140 You're not getting a bike.

00:22:16.200 You're not, you know, you're not getting anything big.

00:22:18.740 You're getting something small.

00:22:20.420 And that's what Christmas was really all about.

00:22:23.620 It was a small noticing.

00:22:25.280 And I want to tell you about what you can notice when you give and prioritize that over

00:24:07.080 Everything's up.

00:24:07.900 Yeah.

00:24:08.480 How about you?

00:24:08.820 It's the 10th.

00:24:09.700 I know we thought we were moving.

00:24:12.640 You thought, wow.

00:24:14.340 I did miss a lot.

00:24:15.260 You missed a lot.

00:24:16.600 We closed on our house.

00:24:18.400 We closed.

00:24:19.060 We signed all the papers.

00:24:20.380 They signed all the papers and then they just didn't deliver the money.

00:24:24.560 Well, it's probably coming today though, right?

00:24:26.380 Yeah.

00:24:26.700 They just didn't deliver the money.

00:24:27.800 By the end of the business day today, you'll probably have it.

00:24:29.980 You'll probably have it now.

00:24:31.340 The, the excuse was one day, the excuse was no, it's George Bush's funeral.

00:24:34.820 The banks were closed.

00:24:35.860 No, dude, they were not.

00:24:37.200 They were not.

00:24:37.960 I live here.

00:24:39.140 I mean, what do you think?

00:24:41.000 What is the purpose of signing closing papers and not delivering money?

00:24:44.500 I have no idea.

00:24:46.580 No idea.

00:24:47.680 That was a weird situation.

00:24:48.700 It was a really weird situation.

00:24:50.080 From a guy who's got a lot of money, clearly.

00:24:52.660 Yeah.

00:24:53.220 But couldn't produce any.

00:24:55.000 No.

00:24:55.460 No.

00:24:55.860 Oh, the deal is dead.

00:24:56.980 Yeah.

00:24:57.200 I was like, uh, no, I don't think so.

00:25:00.340 He's like, just another day.

00:25:01.700 No.

00:25:02.240 Uh-uh.

00:25:03.080 No.

00:25:04.220 Thank you.

00:25:05.680 What are you in the mob?

00:25:06.480 You have to go collect money, break legs.

00:25:08.500 What the hell is that?

00:25:10.020 I mean, I couldn't, you know, the bank.

00:25:12.440 And he would call up and he would say, uh, the, um, uh, I'm at the bank right now and they

00:25:17.860 don't know what happened.

00:25:20.320 Okay.

00:25:20.720 All right.

00:25:21.020 We'll just transfer the money.

00:25:22.080 And then he would call later and he would say, uh, well, I was on the phone with the bank.

00:25:27.440 I wasn't there.

00:25:28.120 They didn't give me the transfer codes.

00:25:29.580 And we're like, wait a minute, dude, you said you were at the bank.

00:25:34.240 What kind of creepy thing are you involved in?

00:25:36.680 I don't know.

00:25:37.200 It was just weird.

00:25:38.240 It was really weird.

00:25:39.420 Real estate agents were like, well, never seen that one before.

00:25:43.420 So it was bizarre.

00:25:44.420 Anyway, so we've started decorating the house and, uh, and, uh, it was, is anybody else?

00:25:51.360 Okay.

00:25:51.520 When you decorate the tree, is everybody just allowed to just hang all the ornaments, just

00:25:59.720 throw them on the tree?

00:26:01.800 Are we allowed to do that?

00:26:02.920 Is there any kind of thought about how to hang the ornaments?

00:26:06.640 I grew up in a really weird house.

00:26:08.160 No, we have children.

00:26:08.760 Yeah.

00:26:08.900 They put the ornaments where they put the ornaments.

00:26:11.280 And then, of course, there's the giant holes and you fill them up later.

00:26:14.100 Yes.

00:26:14.780 Yeah.

00:26:15.440 What do you do?

00:26:16.600 Hmm?

00:26:17.540 What do you do?

00:26:18.780 Was that a tough sentence?

00:26:19.960 Yeah.

00:26:20.160 I don't understand.

00:26:20.840 I think it was.

00:26:21.660 So I said, I said towards the end, uh, cause I just stopped and I said, I looked around and

00:26:28.620 I said, am I the only one decorating the tree?

00:26:32.880 And, uh, Tanya said, yeah.

00:26:34.920 And I said, is it, is it just me?

00:26:38.900 And she said, oh yeah, no, it's you.

00:26:41.240 Oh, it's you.

00:26:42.000 What's you?

00:26:43.040 Well, I'm.

00:26:43.780 Cause were you moving things around?

00:26:45.120 Yeah.

00:26:45.680 Cause it wasn't.

00:26:46.700 Yeah.

00:26:47.140 You can't do that.

00:26:48.560 You can't move things.

00:26:49.360 I can't.

00:26:49.640 I can't.

00:26:50.480 I can't live in a house with a tree that is just, I can't do it.

00:26:54.420 Was it not even?

00:26:54.940 You're just too used to somebody else coming in and decorating for you.

00:26:57.060 No, no.

00:26:58.260 This is the way I grew up.

00:26:59.940 My mother, we have a very, you put the Christmas, you look for the holes and you put the big ones,

00:27:05.480 you put them in the back, you put them inside the tree and then you layer it out

00:27:09.780 and you, you put it up.

00:27:11.100 So you fill it all.

00:27:12.460 And, and we were fine with it as a kid.

00:27:15.640 And I, I remember liking it.

00:27:17.640 I don't think we did now that I see my kids reactions to this, but, uh.

00:27:22.740 So your, your concern is that your children were not appropriately decorating the tree

00:27:29.220 in symmetrical fashion.

00:27:31.420 No, they weren't necessarily enjoying the learning experience of how to decorate a tree.

00:27:37.940 I bet they weren't.

00:27:38.600 Yeah, they weren't.

00:27:39.200 I bet they weren't.

00:27:39.960 No, they weren't.

00:27:40.380 But your kids are not, you know, four.

00:27:41.680 Judging by how anal you are.

00:27:42.320 No, they're not.

00:27:42.960 But that's what, but see, that's the way it used to be.

00:27:45.200 Used to be when they were four, put them on.

00:27:48.040 And then you go to bed and we'll just rearrange them.

00:27:50.040 You know what I mean?

00:27:51.080 And we had to rearrange them because the, the dog, they were too low for the dog and

00:27:55.780 the dog might break them.

00:27:57.080 Ah, yes.

00:27:57.600 Okay.

00:27:57.940 So now that doesn't work because they're 12 and 14.

00:28:02.720 So it's time to show them that you just don't hang that there.

00:28:05.820 Cause that doesn't work.

00:28:09.520 Tanya hates me.

00:28:11.480 Tanya hates me.

00:28:12.460 And it's so hard cause it's sitting there.

00:28:14.520 Like, it's just, I'm so, I just, I'm so OCD with this and we sit there and we'll watch

00:28:21.740 a movie and I'll notice that halfway through the movie, I haven't even looked at the screen.

00:28:26.060 I'm looking at the damn tree going, that ornament has to be moved.

00:28:29.280 That has to be moved.

00:28:31.400 And I'm doing everything I can not to move it.

00:28:34.200 It's bad.

00:28:35.120 Yeah.

00:28:35.380 That's borderline psychosis is what that is.

00:28:40.500 Can't we all enjoy the Christmas season?

00:28:43.100 In a psychotic way.

00:28:45.020 You're weak kids.

00:28:46.200 You put them all on the tree.

00:28:47.680 And then when you go to bed, dad's going to move them all.

00:28:50.060 No, that won't even work.

00:28:51.480 That won't even work.

00:28:53.540 No.

00:28:54.040 It's depressing.

00:28:54.840 Yeah.

00:28:55.160 It's depressing.

00:28:56.120 That's weird when your kids get to an age where they understand that, you know, dad's

00:29:00.460 psychotic.

00:29:03.160 Christmas psychosis.

00:29:04.400 Yeah.

00:29:05.080 Yeah.

00:29:05.500 Well, isn't that what the holidays are all about?

00:29:07.880 Yes.

00:29:08.100 The one crazy relative that comes and you're just like, oh, dear God, we have to do this

00:29:13.360 again.

00:29:13.600 Except in your case, that crazy relative that are year round every minute of every day.

00:29:18.600 I can't be alone in this.

00:29:20.320 I can't be alone.

00:29:21.140 It can't just be me.

00:29:22.960 Oh, Tanya was so she was so because we have.

00:29:25.500 So everybody just stopped then and let you do it.

00:29:27.660 One by one.

00:29:28.280 They just kind of stopped and it started because I said, wait, wait, wait, you don't put the

00:29:32.980 ornaments on yet.

00:29:34.380 We haven't fluffed the tree because you know how you have if you have a fake tree, it's

00:29:38.440 been sitting in a box.

00:29:39.400 So everything is just flat.

00:29:40.960 And I'm like, look, see, you can see right out to the patio through the tree is because

00:29:46.340 you have to kind of bend the branches.

00:29:47.920 And so we were bending the branches.

00:29:49.540 Oh, my gosh.

00:29:50.440 That did not sit well.

00:29:51.740 Well, that has to happen with you.

00:29:52.840 If you have a fake tree in a box.

00:29:54.340 Thank you.

00:29:55.060 Thank you.

00:29:55.620 That part is pretty, pretty common.

00:29:57.520 Thank you.

00:29:57.820 Now, we solved this problem a few years ago when I started advocating for us making it Christmas

00:30:03.000 all year round in our garage.

00:30:04.880 So if you go out to our garage in July, the tree's just up.

00:30:10.060 Pat has a friend.

00:30:11.580 That's so great.

00:30:12.140 Pat has a friend who has a list of this.

00:30:13.700 In the neighborhood.

00:30:14.740 Oh, it's so great.

00:30:16.480 You walk into their living room.

00:30:17.860 It's a beautiful living room.

00:30:19.800 And there's a full wall that slides down the room.

00:30:26.340 And in it are all their Christmas decorations all set up.

00:30:30.400 And all they do is roll them out and put them where they go.

00:30:33.740 And then shut the tree off.

00:30:35.100 So the tree is fully decorated in a closet, essentially.

00:30:37.800 Completely decorated, year round, and it's on a rolling thing, and they just bring it

00:30:42.620 out, and it's ready.

00:30:44.260 That's why I'm bummed.

00:30:45.740 The house didn't sell, because I want to build a house, and I'm putting that Christmas.

00:30:49.480 You need to do that.

00:30:50.580 You see the trees that are all on the set here?

00:30:52.500 Yeah.

00:30:52.920 Okay.

00:30:53.800 Those were all in a property cage.

00:30:55.620 They just had plastic on top of them.

00:30:58.460 And somebody said, hey, we got to decorate the studios for Christmas, blah, blah, blah.

00:31:02.660 I come in the next day, everything's decorated.

00:31:06.460 And I'm like, how did you do this so fast?

00:31:07.820 And they're like, wow.

00:31:08.640 We just took the plastic off and wheeled the trees out.

00:31:11.420 And I'm like, oh my gosh, I forgot we did that.

00:31:13.820 That is the greatest thing ever.

00:31:15.220 Brilliant.

00:31:15.640 It's awesome.

00:31:16.100 Every house.

00:31:16.600 It's awesome.

00:31:17.020 Every house needs that.

00:31:17.900 Yeah.

00:31:18.040 It's like every Jewish house needs two dishwashers. 1.00

00:31:22.560 Every Christian house should have a Christmas tree room.

00:31:25.320 Yes.

00:31:25.640 And it just disappears and you just open it up and pull it out.

00:31:29.840 Beyond that, they kind of designed their whole house around their Christmas decorations

00:31:33.840 because they also have an elevator that goes up to the second floor.

00:31:37.360 What?

00:31:38.040 On the elevator, they've got the Christmas decorations for the second floor.

00:31:42.620 And they take the elevator up to the second floor, roll everything out, and it's all in place.

00:31:47.880 It's a pretty awesome system.

00:31:49.520 You know you have a pretty sweet gig if you're thinking, I'm going to get an elevator for

00:31:54.180 my house.

00:31:54.860 Not because somebody's crippled.

00:31:56.660 Right, right, right.

00:31:57.120 But because I don't want to haul the ornaments up.

00:32:00.080 And they're retired.

00:32:01.400 So, yeah, it's pretty sweet.

00:32:02.980 Yeah.

00:32:03.360 You need to be a billionaire.

00:32:04.400 I know.

00:32:04.780 You need to be a billionaire.

00:32:06.540 Did you start this with a Christmas, like, it's about too much materialism?

00:32:09.920 Yes, I did.

00:32:10.820 I did.

00:32:11.060 Hey, I got an elevator for my Christmas decorations.

00:32:14.000 That's a quick transition.

00:32:14.840 I don't have an elevator.

00:32:16.080 I think that's excessive.

00:32:17.560 Oh, okay.

00:32:19.520 So, that's the part of the Christmas materialism you're upside down.

00:32:22.420 Yeah, that's too much.

00:32:23.000 Too many people are putting elevators in their houses for Christmas decorations.

00:32:28.120 Okay.

00:32:28.660 So, Pat, could we just take a moment, talk about sports just a little bit?

00:32:33.080 I want to throw in something that I think is very important to mention.

00:32:35.900 Dallas Cowboys beat the Eagles.

00:32:37.860 Oh, yeah, that's right.

00:32:38.600 They beat the Philadelphia Eagles last night, right?

00:32:40.700 Yeah.

00:32:40.940 Did they?

00:32:41.480 Yeah, they did.

00:32:41.960 You know, I gave up football after we're calling Kaepernick.

00:32:44.360 Oh, did you?

00:32:45.400 I just don't like it anymore.

00:32:46.860 Dude, I have a feeling you and your son were there about 50-yard line last night to see

00:32:50.820 them lose.

00:32:51.560 We were there.

00:32:52.540 I will say, you know, you can't win the Super Bowl every year.

00:32:55.200 No, right.

00:32:55.780 And this is going to be one of those years.

00:32:57.460 This is a lesson you might know that the Dallas Cowboys are in the middle of a two and a half

00:33:01.180 decade master course on.

00:33:04.260 So, I don't really care.

00:33:05.740 I know you don't.

00:33:07.440 But I cared a lot last night.

00:33:09.420 You did.

00:33:09.760 Last night, I was suddenly a huge Dallas Cowboys fan.

00:33:13.420 Me too.

00:33:13.940 Weirdly enough.

00:33:14.780 Well, the Packers are going right to the bowl this year.

00:33:17.580 They're going to the same place the Philadelphia Eagles are.

00:33:19.920 Which is great.

00:33:21.640 The NFL draft in a high pick is where they're going.

00:33:25.500 It's been a horrible football season.

00:33:27.640 There's been some interesting developments on the college side, though, over the past couple

00:33:31.920 weeks.

00:33:32.340 Over the weekend, Kyler Murray, University of Oklahoma quarterback, won the Heisman Trophy.

00:33:37.860 And because he won the Heisman Trophy and got some accolades, people had to search through

00:33:43.320 his Twitter feed to find anything that might be anywhere near offensive.

00:33:49.980 Ah.

00:33:50.360 He's a witch! 1.00

00:33:51.320 Yeah.

00:33:51.740 Well, it wasn't that.

00:33:53.280 But he did use the word queer in a tweet.

00:33:56.120 Oh, boy.

00:33:56.700 When he was 14 years old.

00:33:58.480 No.

00:33:59.240 He did not.

00:34:00.320 14 years old.

00:34:00.880 Yes.

00:34:01.140 This bastard should go to prison.

00:34:04.020 It's a real controversy.

00:34:04.520 Yes!

00:34:04.740 You're not asking for the death penalty?

00:34:08.660 Oh, absolutely I am.

00:34:10.100 Okay.

00:34:10.320 You just said he should go to prison.

00:34:12.000 Well, prison while he awakes from burning at the stake.

00:34:15.200 Okay.

00:34:15.540 Good.

00:34:16.160 Yes.

00:34:16.680 Good.

00:34:17.020 Good.

00:34:17.400 Isn't Q in LGBTQ? 0.99

00:34:20.240 Yes!

00:34:20.680 That was my thing today!

00:34:23.160 I'm sorry, but it's one of the Q's! 1.00

00:34:26.900 Right?

00:34:27.720 Right.

00:34:30.000 LGBTQQIA2+, one of the Q's is queer! 0.98

00:34:33.160 And it leads...

00:34:33.860 So why is that offensive to anybody?

00:34:35.440 Right.

00:34:35.560 Why?

00:34:35.960 It leads Quilt Bag 2 Electric Boogaloo. 0.68

00:34:38.540 It's the first Q.

00:34:39.860 It's the first Q.

00:34:40.740 In Quilt Bag 2.

00:34:41.880 Yes.

00:34:42.480 Electric Boogaloo, which I...

00:34:43.720 In fact, I think it's the only Q in Quilt Bag.

00:34:45.840 It is.

00:34:46.200 Right?

00:34:46.500 Yeah, because I don't think questioning...

00:34:47.620 Or maybe they...

00:34:48.120 They like to do that with Q.

00:34:49.320 They just divide your questioning in queer. 0.96

00:34:51.000 Yes.

00:34:51.160 In case you're a normal human being, Quilt Bag is actually the new thing instead of LGBTQQIA2+. 1.00

00:35:01.980 Right.

00:35:02.340 So Quilt Bag 2 gives you all the...

00:35:05.960 Most of the letters.

00:35:07.560 Yeah, no plus.

00:35:08.220 That's why we added in Electric Boogaloo, because it just feels like it's going to cover whatever

00:35:11.580 else is next.

00:35:12.140 No, it's going to happen.

00:35:13.240 But that's amazing.

00:35:14.300 So he's really...

00:35:14.940 Is he getting legitimate heat over this?

00:35:16.180 So he's getting legitimate heat over this.

00:35:18.460 In fact, some people are calling for him to have the Heisman take it away, because he

00:35:23.540 used the word queer when he was...

00:35:25.040 In a derogatory way?

00:35:26.740 14 years old.

00:35:27.320 Again, in 14 years old.

00:35:28.280 Well, he was like talking to his friends, and one of his tweets was, y'all are queers. 0.99

00:35:34.840 Wow, that's...

00:35:36.080 Holy cow, I can't imagine they hate you.

00:35:37.860 Keep in mind, 14.

00:35:39.560 You know?

00:35:40.280 I mean, I talked to...

00:35:41.440 I talked to my son again last night.

00:35:43.740 They've got to get off social media.

00:35:45.260 Kids have to get off social media and stay off it.

00:35:47.920 And it's not just social media.

00:35:50.060 If you have an email account, thank God, my son does not have any of these things.

00:35:53.360 My kids don't have these things.

00:35:54.620 They're not on Twitter or Facebook or any of that.

00:35:56.920 No, good God, no.

00:35:57.740 Yeah.

00:35:58.400 But even emails.

00:36:02.340 Because emails...

00:36:03.260 Yeah.

00:36:03.720 They're around forever.

00:36:04.800 They'll come back to haunt you.

00:36:04.960 They'll come back to haunt you.

00:36:06.020 They sure will.

00:36:07.100 Nothing.

00:36:07.760 You are not...

00:36:09.360 Nothing electronic.

00:36:10.620 Yes, you are not at an age to be able to handle that.

00:36:14.160 I have to tell you, I had an amazing conversation with my son this weekend about electronics.

00:36:19.340 He went in.

00:36:20.180 We went in for tithing on Saturday.

00:36:23.320 And he went with...

00:36:24.400 And he was just in his, you know, 14-year-old kind of mood.

00:36:31.020 And we left.

00:36:31.980 And I said, what is your deal, dude?

00:36:34.340 And we had this amazing conversation that I think, I know he's not alone in.

00:36:42.200 I just know he's not alone in.

00:36:44.360 And it's electronics in the world today.

00:36:49.620 And, you know, what is meaningful?

00:36:51.720 What has meaning?

00:36:53.420 You know, the fight of, you know, right and wrong.

00:36:56.360 I mean, it's...

00:36:57.620 Our kids, man, are facing stuff that no other generation has faced.

00:37:04.280 It's tough.

00:37:05.220 Well, I was amazed.

00:37:06.280 You know, on vacation saw the Kevin Hart thing that I know you mentioned earlier on the show.

00:37:09.920 And it's like, here's a guy who did some things that he didn't...

00:37:13.140 That we look back at 2010, 2011 that were bad, right?

00:37:17.000 And like he said, things that were homophobic.

00:37:19.300 At least it's what all the stories were.

00:37:21.240 And now he's saying he's not homophobic, right?

00:37:23.920 He's not...

00:37:24.580 Doesn't feel that way anymore.

00:37:25.860 What's the point of all this?

00:37:27.260 Like, in 2000...

00:37:28.180 Like, isn't your argument that you want to convince people that, you know, being homophobic is bad?

00:37:34.340 And you want people to change their mind about that and come to a point where they no longer think it's bad, right?

00:37:38.560 Like, that's the whole issue that you're supposed to be addressing if you're a gay rights activist.

00:37:43.220 So here's a guy who was, you know, said things he didn't like, you know, you don't like back in the day.

00:37:47.420 But it's changed.

00:37:48.340 It hasn't done it in a long time.

00:37:49.560 And it's saying he doesn't feel that way anymore.

00:37:51.520 Didn't you accomplish what you wanted with him?

00:37:53.880 No.

00:37:54.080 No, there is no forgiveness.

00:37:55.740 There's no mercy anymore.

00:37:57.360 That's...

00:37:57.840 Think of this.

00:37:58.420 That is the problem.

00:37:58.680 If you're trying to cause chaos, we know who the author of chaos is.

00:38:02.740 Why would forgiveness play in any of that?

00:38:05.800 Yeah.

00:38:06.200 It doesn't.

00:38:07.440 It doesn't.

00:38:08.580 Thanks, Pat.

00:38:08.980 Thanks, Pat.

00:38:09.480 All right.

00:38:09.920 Let me tell you about Say Anything.

00:38:12.420 You know, when a friend casually says something and it makes you stop and think or your kids say something and it makes you stop and think, it can give you a really different perspective and you can really learn about them.

00:38:24.460 And that is what happens whenever you and your family get together and play the game Say Anything.

00:38:30.220 You answer simple questions from one of the cards.

00:38:34.680 It's really easy, but it's amazing to see how your kid's imagination works.

00:38:40.780 You'll begin to see things through your kid's eyes.

00:38:43.540 It's really amazing for the parents to learn.

00:38:47.960 And everybody's laughing and have a good time.

00:38:49.880 It's called Say Anything.

00:38:51.660 Say Anything.

00:38:52.800 Brilliant at showing everybody's perspective.

00:38:55.540 Now you can get it right now for the holidays.

00:38:58.060 Make sure you give them this game.

00:38:59.760 It's available at Target.

00:39:00.880 It's in a new white box.

00:39:02.520 It's in the toy section.

00:39:03.800 Just ask for it.

00:39:04.580 It's called Say Anything.

00:39:06.200 You can find it now at Target.

00:39:07.940 Say Anything.

00:39:13.540 Thanks so much for joining us.

00:39:17.000 It is, it's Monday.

00:39:19.020 We have a ton to share with you today.

00:39:23.500 Are you going to tell us about the Walmart story?

00:39:25.180 Do we get that today?

00:39:26.020 When we come back, when we come back after the top of the hour, I'm going to tell the Walmart story.

00:39:29.680 The white Tyler Perry is hosting your radio program.

00:39:32.780 That's what you have today.

00:39:34.080 I was so inspired by what Tyler Perry did.

00:39:37.160 I took it as a challenge and I challenged others to do the same that are in a position.

00:39:43.960 Like I am, but I'm going to show you how you can actually do this as well.

00:39:48.100 But it has happened today, at least at Walmart.

00:39:50.920 Has to happen today.

00:39:51.880 Today's the last day.

00:39:52.720 Everybody has to come pick up their stuff today.

00:39:55.440 Why is that?

00:39:56.580 I don't know.

00:39:57.240 It's just a thing.

00:39:58.280 Layaway ends on December 10th or whatever it is.

00:40:00.640 Oh, okay.

00:40:01.020 So they probably need the product to go back on the shelves if people are going to pay it off or whatever.

00:40:04.460 And I experienced something I've never experienced before.

00:40:11.920 And I don't know how many people will ever experience.

00:40:14.620 And I want to share it because I want you to experience it too.

00:40:18.480 It should have been a TV show.

00:40:20.420 I mean, the people behind the counter said, we should have put cameras up.

00:40:23.700 This is so unbelievable.

00:40:25.640 It was just so cool.

00:40:27.900 And the people are still, Walmart's still going through it today and yesterday.

00:40:31.360 Just the one that I paid off everybody's layaway.

00:40:36.640 It's so cool.

00:40:39.400 I'll tell you how you can get involved in your local area.

00:40:43.200 Coming up in just a second.

00:40:44.480 So I want to tell you about our sponsor of this half hour.

00:40:51.100 It's Home Title Lock.

00:40:52.940 Home Title Lock sent an FBI, a retired FBI out here.

00:40:58.220 And he was going to do a show with me.

00:40:59.960 And he came in.

00:41:02.060 A little disconcerting, I would say, is the word I would use.

00:41:05.480 Yeah, he came in with the title of my home.

00:41:07.060 He came in with a fake notary that he had bought online for like 20 bucks for the state of Texas.

00:41:15.600 And he had the documents from the courthouse.

00:41:19.240 And he had all my information.

00:41:20.860 He said, all I have to do is just notarize this, sign it, and your house is mine.

00:41:25.960 Like, what are you talking about?

00:41:27.660 For 40 bucks.

00:41:29.300 And it's illegal to do.

00:41:32.100 But you're doing it through a legal process.

00:41:33.640 It's crazy how easy it is to seal stomach's house.

00:41:37.060 So here's what you need to do.

00:41:39.320 They borrow against that mortgage.

00:41:41.840 And then you're up for the loan that you never took out.

00:41:45.060 And you've lost your home.

00:42:02.460 The Fusion of Entertainment and Enlightenment.

00:42:08.440 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:42:12.280 Hello.

00:42:13.620 A good Monday to you.

00:42:16.120 Glad you're here.

00:42:17.780 I had one of the greatest experiences of my life.

00:42:22.700 And I want to share it with you because I can't keep this.

00:42:28.960 I mean, it's just so, it was so great.

00:42:31.300 And I want to show you how you can do what Tyler Perry did.

00:42:37.080 Tyler Perry on Friday inspired me.

00:42:41.880 He went to two Walmarts and he paid for everybody's layaway.

00:42:50.340 Everybody.

00:42:51.500 He did it in one, then he went to the other.

00:42:53.580 I think it cost him $470,000 to do two Walmarts.

00:43:01.000 So, I saw that and I looked at that as a challenge.

00:43:05.240 I'm in a position to where I could help.

00:43:12.580 So, I went to my Walmart.

00:43:14.880 And I did that at my Walmart.

00:43:19.200 And you can do kind of the same thing.

00:43:22.860 It doesn't have to be a whole lot of money.

00:43:25.680 You can just pay off one person on layaway.

00:43:29.020 And I have to tell you what it feels like coming up.

00:43:36.140 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:43:39.420 Before we get to that, I want to talk to you a little bit about LifeLock.

00:43:42.180 By the way, we've got a new thing that we're starting here on the program that we're together for this first half hour.

00:43:47.020 We've tried to get rid of all those long commercial breaks.

00:43:49.460 And we're just going to stop a couple of times and stop for about a minute and then right back into the show.

00:43:54.600 So, LifeLock has a reminder for you.

00:43:57.760 When you're shopping this holiday season, make sure you don't shop at a site online that doesn't have SSL.

00:44:05.240 I don't even know what this means, but the URL should start with HTTPS instead of just HTTP.

00:44:15.000 And it will have an icon of a locked padlock, usually to the left of the URL.

00:44:20.020 Have you seen this?

00:44:20.580 Am I the only one that hasn't looked for this?

00:44:22.100 I've definitely noticed it, but you don't check it every time.

00:44:24.560 Just assume it's okay.

00:44:26.080 Don't shop at anything that doesn't have that, okay?

00:44:28.540 And don't share your social security number or your birthday.

00:44:32.100 And make sure you check your bank statements for transactions that you didn't make.

00:44:36.340 Now is the time that this kind of fraud goes through the roof where they're trying to steal your identity and your bank account numbers and everything else.

00:44:44.680 You need LifeLock. 0.65

00:44:45.800 They use proprietary technology to detect and alert you to a wide range of identity threats.

00:44:50.740 Because Norton, now LifeLock comes with Norton Security, protects your devices against all the cyber threats like malware.

00:44:57.800 It is so well worth your time to get it and your money.

00:45:01.900 It is really well worth it.

00:45:03.880 Everybody on this show has it, and we've had it for a long time, and they have saved us multiple times.

00:45:09.760 Now, nobody can prevent all identity theft or cybercrime or monitor all transactions at all businesses.

00:45:14.920 But no matter the season, LifeLock with Norton Security is the right choice to help look out for threats that you might miss on your own.

00:45:39.760 So, you know, when you give, you're supposed to give silently.

00:45:50.000 However, I took what Tyler Perry did as a challenge.

00:45:57.240 On Friday, I saw this Tyler Perry video.

00:46:01.220 It said, hey, I just went to this Walmart in Atlanta, and then I went to this other Walmart in Atlanta, and I paid off everybody's layaway.

00:46:09.800 So, go get it.

00:46:11.900 If you put anything on layaway, go get it.

00:46:14.980 And I thought that was the coolest thing I'd ever seen, and I never even thought of it.

00:46:21.140 I never even thought of it.

00:46:22.400 And the more I thought about it, the more I liked it, because these were the people who were not asking for handouts.

00:46:28.260 These were the people who are really trying to earn the money, to get the money, to be able to get it for Christmas or whatever.

00:46:34.900 And so, Walmart has this layaway thing where you can put things on layaway until December 10th.

00:46:42.000 And so, you can make payments throughout the years.

00:46:47.080 And so, on Saturday morning, we usually do this thing.

00:46:50.660 Our church, our local church, has adopted this women's shelter.

00:46:56.560 And so, we all get together, and we all go shopping at the Walmart for all these children's toys.

00:47:01.720 And so, I was there early in the morning, and I was just thinking of the Tyler Perry thing.

00:47:08.080 And I said, honey, have you seen the Tyler Perry?

00:47:11.260 And she said, what do you want to do?

00:47:13.900 And I said, I just want to see if, I mean, I don't even know what it cost.

00:47:22.120 This is before I heard what Tyler had spent.

00:47:25.960 And she said, a lot, honey.

00:47:30.440 And I said, I know, but, you know, if we just scrimp and save, and we don't spend a lot of money on our Christmas,

00:47:38.200 and, you know, we'll just, you know, this would be a good thing.

00:47:40.780 And she said, okay, I'm in.

00:47:44.240 And so, we went, I went, and I talked to the lady at Walmart.

00:47:48.540 Her name was Gabrielle, which I thought was great, the angel Gabriel.

00:47:52.440 And I think she thought I was crazy.

00:47:55.380 I think she thought I wasn't serious.

00:47:57.860 And I said, could I, could I, is it possible to just pay everybody's stuff off?

00:48:04.260 And she said, hmm, yeah.

00:48:07.140 And I said, even if I don't know them?

00:48:09.960 And she said, yes.

00:48:11.760 And I said, okay.

00:48:13.160 And she said, I said, how do I do that?

00:48:14.800 And she said, get in line. 1.00

00:48:15.800 And the line was really long.

00:48:17.340 And so, I said, I'll come back.

00:48:18.920 And if she believed me, she probably didn't think I'd ever come back.

00:48:22.820 So, then, a couple of hours later, after we did some stuff, we called and said, can you, can you just total all that up?

00:48:32.340 And so, she did.

00:48:33.640 A few hours later, she calls with the, with the.

00:48:35.940 And number, which was about double of what we had thought it might be.

00:48:43.120 And so, I had a family meeting and said, kids, dad doesn't really believe in college anyway.

00:48:53.200 And so, we were getting ready to go to a Christmas party.

00:48:58.620 And we called and we said, okay, so we want to do this.

00:49:01.140 And she said, I've got, you know, I've got everybody assembled and we're ready to go.

00:49:05.100 And I thought it was just to, like, you know, you know, put the credit card through and everybody is going to be like, yay, we're helping people out.

00:49:12.720 And it was actually an ordeal because I couldn't pay it in a lump sum.

00:49:18.100 I had to do one by one individually.

00:49:20.400 So, it took over two hours to process.

00:49:23.640 Now, here's where it gets really cool.

00:49:26.560 So, we're doing this.

00:49:28.060 Layaway is still open for an hour.

00:49:29.820 The first hour I'm doing this, layaway is still open.

00:49:31.860 And so, people are coming in to make the final payment on their layaway.

00:49:39.000 And so, they said when we first started, she said, this is going to take a while.

00:49:44.960 This will be a while.

00:49:46.560 And I'm like, okay.

00:49:47.660 And she said, so that other register over there is also layaway.

00:49:51.560 And we can steer everybody there.

00:49:53.540 Now, do you want to pay for people who are coming in?

00:49:56.500 And I said, yes, but I don't want them to know.

00:50:00.200 So, and she said, okay.

00:50:02.500 So, we devised this plan to where people would come over to the register and they'd say, I want to pay off layaway.

00:50:07.720 And they'd give their name.

00:50:08.800 And then the person behind the counter would go, okay, Betsy, so-and-so. 0.94

00:50:12.240 And then we would look up Betsy, so-and-so.

00:50:14.380 We'd pay it off if he hadn't already paid it off.

00:50:17.280 And so, the first woman who did this, it was one of the greatest things I've ever seen or been involved with.

00:50:28.400 Everybody at Walmart was crying.

00:50:30.200 This woman comes up and she had to pay off, I think it was like $94.

00:50:38.660 And so, they bring all the stuff out.

00:50:41.340 She had four children.

00:50:42.400 They brought all the toys out.

00:50:44.580 And then we paid it real quick without her knowing.

00:50:48.880 And then she said, the lady got behind the counter and rang it up. 1.00

00:50:52.600 She said, okay, your total then is one penny.

00:50:57.080 And the lady said, what? 0.78

00:51:02.680 She said, you owe one penny.

00:51:05.040 And she said, oh, no, there has to be a mistake.

00:51:07.040 Like, it's just over $100.

00:51:10.040 And she said, no, somebody came in and paid this for you.

00:51:18.180 And I'm kind of three-quarter turned away from her.

00:51:22.480 I want to watch her in my peripheral.

00:51:24.980 And she just bursts into tears.

00:51:29.540 Just bursts into tears.

00:51:31.340 And she said, this is a miracle.

00:51:35.480 This is a miracle.

00:51:37.440 And she has to actually stand over the side for a while to collect herself.

00:51:41.700 And she said, please, can I get the name of the person who did this?

00:51:45.340 I have to at least.

00:51:46.600 She said, no, they don't want to know.

00:51:48.360 She said, I have to at least send them a card.

00:51:50.160 And she said, and then all of the Walmart people looked at me like, you know, say something.

00:51:58.060 And so I looked over and I said, I'd rather just have a hug than a card.

00:52:02.000 And she came over and she said, this has been the worst year of my life.

00:52:12.740 She said, my husband left me.

00:52:14.640 I just lost my house.

00:52:16.720 I have four kids.

00:52:18.200 I needed to do something for their Christmas.

00:52:22.160 She said, I have been paying for these toys over the months.

00:52:27.000 And she said, I'm working three jobs.

00:52:30.760 I just got the hundred dollars to pay for it.

00:52:33.320 She said, now I have the money to buy food so we can have Christmas, a Christmas meal.

00:52:42.440 It was so incredible.

00:52:45.680 And it was story like that after story like that after story like that is this grandmother.

00:52:52.780 She was standing in the back because there was several people that we did this to.

00:52:56.500 And I didn't say anything to any of those people, but she was standing in the back.

00:53:00.200 She was like four people maybe back. 0.54

00:53:01.980 And so she was she had time to watch what was happening at our counter, you know, probably because she was probably pissed. 0.98

00:53:09.080 She's like, why is this guy taking so long?

00:53:10.920 And so she was watching and when it came to the hundred dollars, she actually came up and she said she pulled out a ten dollar bill and she said, I need to cancel my layaway.

00:53:24.780 Because she didn't have the money and it was literally like, I don't even remember.

00:53:31.160 It was like forty seven dollars.

00:53:32.360 And the stuff came out and it was two baby blankets and like this little literally, I don't even know, twenty five dollar Fisher price thing.

00:53:47.020 And she said, I need to cancel.

00:53:49.720 And they said, no, somebody has already paid.

00:53:54.600 And then she just whipped around and she looked at me and she said, it's you, isn't it?

00:53:59.460 And I said, I don't know what you're talking about.

00:54:01.600 And she started to cry and she came over and she said, it's my first grandchild's first Christmas.

00:54:09.980 And she said, I have been laying awake for the last three days trying to figure out a way.

00:54:16.900 To be able to afford just something simple that I wanted to to give him and she didn't have the money to do it. 0.88

00:54:31.620 It reconnects you.

00:54:35.960 It grounds you.

00:54:38.820 It.

00:54:39.920 My kids were with me and Mary was the one inserting the credit cards.

00:54:44.580 And it's the memory of my Christmas with Mary where dad couldn't afford something from CVS to get for her for Christmas.

00:54:59.560 We've all been there.

00:55:02.040 And this and this holiday season makes parents.

00:55:09.920 Believe a lie.

00:55:12.120 And I want to talk to you about that.

00:55:14.580 In just one minute.

00:55:19.580 First, let me take one minute to give you our sponsor.

00:55:22.400 It's Casper.

00:55:23.980 I want you to look at a Casper bed.

00:55:27.020 If you are having trouble sleeping, tossing and turning, you need a new bed.

00:55:30.940 This might be a really good Christmas gift.

00:55:33.220 Switching to a Casper really is a no brainer.

00:55:35.380 It's a high quality mattress at a very affordable price.

00:55:38.120 You can sleep comfortably every single night and you're not going to wake up overheated because it has a unique combination of foams that they did.

00:55:45.760 They made that will provide the right pressure relief and alignment that doesn't trap the heat.

00:55:51.140 And it ships right to your door for free in a small little box.

00:55:54.560 They even pick it up for you.

00:55:56.040 And if you don't love everything, they'll refund all the money and pick it up.

00:55:59.620 So it's it's so easy.

00:56:01.360 This is really a no brainer from the engineering to its packaging to letting you try it for 100 nights.

00:56:07.000 This is why Casper has over 35,000 five star reviews on all of their products across Casper, Google and Amazon.

00:56:14.800 Sleep on your neck mattress.

00:56:37.000 So I remember when Mary was.

00:56:49.640 I think nine.

00:56:53.960 And.

00:56:55.640 I couldn't afford anything.

00:56:59.780 For Christmas.

00:57:01.540 And I remember feeling like I am the worst dad in the world.

00:57:07.700 How.

00:57:09.460 How did this happen to me?

00:57:11.220 What have I done with my life?

00:57:12.840 And it was just horrible because you think you need to do all these things for your children for Christmas.

00:57:22.680 And.

00:57:24.340 You don't.

00:57:27.320 You don't.

00:57:32.040 The Christmas.

00:57:33.380 I wrote about this in a book called The Christmas Sweater.

00:57:37.000 My last Christmas with my mom.

00:57:38.760 I was.

00:57:39.600 I think.

00:57:40.320 14 or 15.

00:57:42.700 And I got a sweater.

00:57:44.740 And it was all.

00:57:46.460 It's all she could afford.

00:57:48.680 It's all she could do.

00:57:49.380 I'm sure it had been a layaway.

00:57:54.840 That came back to me.

00:57:56.440 Rushing back to me.

00:58:00.960 And I didn't appreciate it.

00:58:02.320 And it haunted me for a long, long time.

00:58:09.800 That.

00:58:10.700 Christmas sweater.

00:58:12.780 And I.

00:58:13.500 Because I didn't appreciate it when she gave it to me.

00:58:18.560 And I.

00:58:19.460 I knew at the time.

00:58:22.140 She was hoping that I would like it.

00:58:24.200 I was.

00:58:24.720 She was hoping that one president of the tree would be enough.

00:58:27.940 For a snotty teenager.

00:58:32.900 And.

00:58:34.100 I think in my own way.

00:58:36.620 I let her know that it wasn't.

00:58:39.220 And.

00:58:40.160 It.

00:58:42.900 Destroyed me.

00:58:44.340 For so long.

00:58:48.580 But Christmas is not about.

00:58:51.180 The presents.

00:58:51.920 I look back on Christmas now.

00:58:57.360 And I don't.

00:58:59.000 I don't remember getting any.

00:59:01.700 Specific present.

00:59:04.500 Except that sweater.

00:59:07.220 I don't remember getting.

00:59:08.540 I don't.

00:59:08.960 I don't.

00:59:09.720 I don't remember.

00:59:10.880 Toys.

00:59:11.380 Whatever I wanted.

00:59:12.160 I don't remember what I got.

00:59:14.580 But I remember the time.

00:59:17.180 And I remember decorating the tree.

00:59:19.280 And I remember listening to my grandparents talk.

00:59:21.920 And I remember sitting at the table.

00:59:23.620 And I remember.

00:59:24.860 Playing Chinese checkers.

00:59:27.080 I remember.

00:59:29.640 I remember watching.

00:59:31.600 You know.

00:59:32.220 Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.

00:59:33.400 And my dad going.

00:59:34.240 Damn is it this time of year again.

00:59:35.620 I have to watch this damn thing again.

00:59:38.280 I remember all of that.

00:59:41.440 And none of that came from a store.

00:59:47.260 I told my daughter.

00:59:48.800 Today.

00:59:49.200 And my wife.

00:59:50.260 They wanted to put up a.

00:59:51.320 A nativity scene in the house.

00:59:54.000 And I said.

00:59:54.620 You know.

00:59:54.860 I've always threatened to do this.

00:59:56.060 But nobody will go buy chicken wire.

00:59:57.780 Go buy chicken wire.

00:59:59.160 Today.

01:00:00.200 By the time I get home.

01:00:01.840 Chicken wire.

01:00:02.840 I don't even know where you buy it.

01:00:04.800 But buy some chicken wire.

01:00:06.200 And get some newspapers.

01:00:07.400 And then get some spray cans.

01:00:09.520 And some spray paint.

01:00:10.720 Because I'm going to make a nativity scene.

01:00:12.540 That will blow your mind.

01:00:14.140 And we'll make it together.

01:00:15.300 I got that from my mom.

01:00:18.920 I remember my mom making it.

01:00:21.260 And it was so cool.

01:00:25.980 And I remember making it with her.

01:00:28.440 I remember watching her.

01:00:29.940 That's the Christmas.

01:00:35.620 That we really need to reconnect.

01:00:38.220 You know.

01:00:38.820 As I was.

01:00:39.620 As I was standing.

01:00:43.120 In Walmart.

01:00:44.000 My son is.

01:00:45.320 Is.

01:00:46.280 Struggling right now.

01:00:47.200 With God.

01:00:47.740 He doesn't know if God exists.

01:00:50.280 And you know.

01:00:51.240 Some.

01:00:51.560 Some of my friends are freaking out.

01:00:52.820 Oh you got to get him to.

01:00:54.360 No I don't.

01:00:55.620 No I don't.

01:00:56.300 I have to get him.

01:00:58.680 To understand.

01:01:00.140 He should try to find God.

01:01:02.680 But everybody's got to find God.

01:01:04.480 On their own.

01:01:06.080 He should try.

01:01:07.080 Because it makes a difference.

01:01:09.480 If.

01:01:10.100 If.

01:01:10.460 If he exists.

01:01:11.920 If he exists.

01:01:13.740 Then it will change your behavior.

01:01:16.520 But if.

01:01:17.460 You don't know he exists.

01:01:18.980 Why are you wasting the time?

01:01:23.400 And if you don't.

01:01:24.740 If you find out.

01:01:25.660 You say.

01:01:25.940 I don't believe him.

01:01:27.120 And I've done my homework.

01:01:28.420 And I really don't believe him.

01:01:29.580 Great.

01:01:30.020 Then what is it.

01:01:30.960 That's going to.

01:01:31.880 Make you do the things.

01:01:34.340 That.

01:01:35.420 You know.

01:01:37.360 Change you.

01:01:38.040 As a person.

01:01:40.680 My son and I were talking yesterday.

01:01:43.020 And I said.

01:01:43.560 I.

01:01:45.420 Son.

01:01:45.960 I don't think.

01:01:46.960 I.

01:01:47.440 I wouldn't have taken you to Walmart.

01:01:50.260 Had I not had.

01:01:52.020 A God experience.

01:01:52.560 A God experience.

01:01:55.020 I wouldn't have.

01:01:55.840 Why would I.

01:01:58.240 I said.

01:01:58.640 Do you know how many college classes you could have taken.

01:02:02.500 Why would I.

01:02:04.200 I wouldn't have had the faith.

01:02:06.820 That.

01:02:07.500 It's all going to work out in the end.

01:02:09.760 I wouldn't.

01:02:10.420 I would have been focused on.

01:02:12.140 Are you kidding me.

01:02:12.820 You know what.

01:02:13.160 I could have bought with that.

01:02:15.080 I would have wanted that.

01:02:16.780 And I would have thought.

01:02:17.920 Well.

01:02:18.140 You know.

01:02:18.420 Other people.

01:02:19.400 You know.

01:02:19.760 I'll help out.

01:02:20.600 But.

01:02:21.180 You know.

01:02:21.480 Other people are struggling.

01:02:22.560 No.

01:02:23.200 I'm grateful.

01:02:24.600 I am grateful.

01:02:25.820 My relationship with God has made me thankful.

01:02:30.860 Grateful.

01:02:31.580 I've been through that.

01:02:33.960 And I may someday go through it again.

01:02:37.220 But it's all going to be fine.

01:02:41.560 Why should I care about other people?

01:02:48.000 Because they are my brother and sister.

01:02:50.880 They're my literal brother and sister.

01:02:53.480 We're all brothers and sisters.

01:02:55.820 And we all come from the same place.

01:03:01.060 And we should.

01:03:04.620 Celebrate that.

01:03:06.180 And help each other.

01:03:09.200 Today's the last day for a Walmart layaway.

01:03:12.220 If you have $10.

01:03:13.940 I'm telling you.

01:03:15.160 I paid off some layaways that were $10.

01:03:18.500 Today's the last day.

01:03:20.140 Call your Walmart.

01:03:22.040 Take the Tyler Perry Challenge.

01:03:23.460 And just whatever you can do.

01:03:27.840 It is such a blessing to so many people.

01:03:33.000 Call Walmart right now.

01:03:35.320 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:03:43.060 All right.

01:03:43.500 I want to tell you a little bit about relief factor.

01:03:45.220 One thing I am really grateful for is this Christmas.

01:03:47.600 I do not feel the way I did last Christmas.

01:03:50.140 Last Christmas, I was at the end of my rope with pain.

01:03:53.360 And I just couldn't take it anymore.

01:03:54.820 And I knew that I just couldn't take anything from the doctor.

01:03:59.160 I'm like, I don't want.

01:04:00.520 I just don't want opioids in my life.

01:04:03.280 So what do I do?

01:04:05.160 My wife convinced me.

01:04:06.640 Try relief factor.

01:04:07.900 Now, people have been talking about it.

01:04:09.240 We've heard commercials for it.

01:04:10.320 And I'm like, I don't know.

01:04:11.300 It's all natural.

01:04:12.780 Natural stuff doesn't work.

01:04:14.180 This is all this is all created by doctors.

01:04:17.340 But it has four natural key ingredients that keep your body fighting against inflammation.

01:04:23.340 And that is really where all of our pain comes from.

01:04:26.420 And all of our problems, cancer and everything else is really inflammation.

01:04:30.060 Do what I did.

01:04:30.960 Just try it for three weeks.

01:04:32.400 I'm still taking it today because it works.

01:04:34.900 Get your life back.

01:04:57.640 In fact, I did pick it.

01:04:59.640 I bought it, sent it to my house.

01:05:02.580 I tried it for, I think, five days.

01:05:05.080 I actually was honest.

01:05:06.660 I don't know if everybody appreciates this.

01:05:08.940 But I said, I'm not sure I like it.

01:05:11.440 Well, it took me a few more days before I really started to have my body settle down.

01:05:15.840 I love this bed.

01:05:17.600 It is Casper.

01:05:18.920 It's a no brainer.

01:05:52.920 Hello to the program.

01:05:56.940 I'm glad you tuned in today.

01:05:59.060 There's some interesting things going on with freedom of speech that we should talk about.

01:06:06.200 And I'm going to address something at the top of next hour that will further this.

01:06:10.560 But you heard about Kyler Murray.

01:06:16.980 Kyler Murray.

01:06:17.580 I'm surprised you've heard of Kyler Murray.

01:06:19.560 It came on my radar because it's a speech thing.

01:06:21.800 He was a Heisman Trophy winner.

01:06:24.620 I don't know anything about him.

01:06:25.540 Good guy?

01:06:25.860 Bad guy?

01:06:26.260 Do you know?

01:06:26.660 Do you care?

01:06:27.180 Seems like a good guy.

01:06:28.120 But, I mean, he's a two-sport athlete.

01:06:30.780 He's going to wind up probably playing baseball and not football, which is pretty amazing.

01:06:35.160 He's an amazing athlete.

01:06:36.660 Okay.

01:06:37.200 So he won the Heisman Trophy.

01:06:39.920 And now he's – did they take it away or were they threatening to take it away?

01:06:44.960 There are some that want to.

01:06:45.640 I don't think that's going to happen.

01:06:46.640 But there are some that want to take it away.

01:06:48.180 Okay.

01:06:48.600 They want to take it away because when he was 14 years old, he said on a tweet, knock

01:06:56.660 it off, guys.

01:06:57.480 You're queer. 1.00

01:06:59.400 Oh, my gosh.

01:07:01.120 He did that when he was 14?

01:07:03.560 Oh, we've got to run him out of society.

01:07:05.420 I'm surprised he hadn't been killed yet.

01:07:07.000 And Carl Benjamin, Sargon of Akkad, big YouTube guy, he was de-platformed this weekend.

01:07:23.460 And Gavin McGinnis.

01:07:24.800 I'm going to address some things at the top of next hour, but I want to give you one more piece to this puzzle before I do.

01:07:49.360 A leading expert on the ethical, legal, and social implications of bioscience has now revealed her concerns over handing over the control of our minds.

01:08:03.080 Nita Farhani has detailed her fears of artificial intelligence in the workplace and has outlined that it could lead to the loss of jobs over employees' thoughts.

01:08:19.320 She has now revealed how more and more companies are looking into the idea of making EEG devices a compulsory part of their uniform.

01:08:31.260 The wearable headset, which is now used to monitor alertness, productivity, and mental state, is already being used in China.

01:08:39.660 Train drivers on the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail are required to wear the technology.

01:08:44.880 And according to some reports, in government-run factories in China, the employees are also required to wear the EEG sensors to monitor their productivity as well.

01:08:55.720 So here's what happens.

01:08:58.040 And I've read about this, and I think we addressed it in the book, Addicted to Outrage.

01:09:03.840 It is a system now where they put these sensors in a cap, and then you have to wear this cap.

01:09:09.500 And it can show when you're distracted, it can show when you're angry, it can show when you're frustrated, it will show when you're experiencing all kinds of different thoughts, when you're tired.

01:09:20.980 And the boss will be able to see that.

01:09:25.260 And now the boss sits in a room and is monitoring everybody's brainwaves.

01:09:30.800 And it tells them that there is a problem.

01:09:33.280 And so then they stop the line and go down to that person and say, hey, your EEG looks like it's slipping.

01:09:40.160 What's the deal?

01:09:41.580 Or just say, go home.

01:09:43.340 And you get, you know, one go home, and the next time you get a go home, I don't know what happens to you in China, but I don't think anybody wants to find out. 0.98

01:09:55.380 She says there's an increasing number of worldwide interest in the technology, which could lead to people being fired just for their thoughts.

01:10:05.100 In a world of total brain transparency, who would dare have a political or creative thought?

01:10:14.380 Artificial intelligence worn now in the workplace.

01:10:18.680 I worry people will self-censor in fear of being ostracized by society or that people will lose their job because of waning attention or emotional instability or because they're contemplating collective action against their employers.

01:10:35.440 That coming out will no longer be an option because people's brains will long ago have revealed their sexual orientation, their political ideology, their religious preferences well before they were ready or able to consciously share that information with other people.

01:10:55.340 I worry about our laws and the ability of our laws to keep up with technological change.

01:11:01.280 Take the First Amendment on the U.S. Constitution, which protects freedom of speech.

01:11:06.700 But does the First Amendment protect freedom of thought?

01:11:14.380 She is a professor in law and philosophy.

01:11:19.600 She was inspired to study brain activity after the 2009 presidential election protest in Iran.

01:11:26.840 She revealed how when she called her parents during the violent crackdowns, they would be too scared to tell her the truth about what was going on in fear of the government listening in.

01:11:38.620 Her fears increased when she contemplated the possibility of officials now being able to read people's thoughts.

01:11:47.960 We are in very interesting times.

01:11:56.840 How do we navigate?

01:12:03.240 Who has a right to tell you not to think it?

01:12:08.380 See, there's one thing that no one can take away from you.

01:12:13.560 And that's what's in your head.

01:12:16.380 No one can take away your thoughts.

01:12:19.100 They are who you are.

01:12:21.720 Your thoughts are creative.

01:12:23.540 They build who you are.

01:12:26.400 Like it or not, you build who you are.

01:12:32.800 But that's no longer true.

01:12:36.860 They can take away your thoughts.

01:12:39.940 They can violate that one space that has always been private.

01:12:44.960 New technology was released last week of a camera sort of device that they're using now on animals.

01:12:54.460 And it's one of the most incredible things I've ever seen.

01:12:56.820 It takes a picture of the animal, but then it takes some sort of infrared or I don't I don't even know what this technology is, but it can actually read the thoughts of the animal.

01:13:07.720 And what it does is it takes a picture or series of pictures and it shows the animal thinking about moving before it does.

01:13:19.160 So the next series of pictures kind of center around the brain of the animal and it shows a distortion of the animal either turning or moving forward or whatever it's going to do.

01:13:32.180 It can read the mind of where the animal is going to move.

01:13:39.260 Now, they do this in rats.

01:13:42.040 They've done this in geese and chickens and dogs.

01:13:45.300 They can shoot this thing at people or I mean at animals.

01:13:50.440 And for instance, if you're in a if a rat is in a maze, it can predict which way it's going to turn.

01:13:58.340 It can now predict if it's going to turn around.

01:14:01.240 It can see the moment of decision.

01:14:03.280 It can see the moment of I've made a mistake.

01:14:05.540 I've got to turn around and they can predict it now.

01:14:09.540 Now, that's just the entry level.

01:14:11.100 But just think of that on the scope of a rifle.

01:14:19.280 Think of that on a drone.

01:14:23.580 Think of that with AI.

01:14:25.820 You want to talk about no escape?

01:14:27.620 There is no escape.

01:14:29.040 It will know which way you're going to turn.

01:14:34.740 I didn't think about it because you were mentioning it with with animals that popped into my head of hunting.

01:14:39.320 I mean, eventually technology comes around where hunting is not much of a challenge if you know which way the animal is going to move.

01:14:46.900 But of course, as as you typically would took it to a bunch of humans being murdered.

01:14:51.780 But it's true.

01:14:52.760 I mean, that's where it's going.

01:14:54.040 That's where it's going.

01:14:54.860 I mean, think about that.

01:14:56.300 I mean, the with with AI, because you've talked about artificial intelligence quite a bit.

01:15:00.000 And we did a bunch of this stuff on tour and stuff of the abilities of of this when it actually gets to the level it can it can do this on its own.

01:15:07.480 I mean, so you missed Friday show.

01:15:09.740 Did you hear what Google announced?

01:15:11.620 No.

01:15:12.400 OK, so Google announced a that on Thursday night there was an evolutionary leap in AI.

01:15:20.580 That it now has its own human like intuition.

01:15:27.420 They thought it was at least a decade away.

01:15:32.060 But they put a eye.

01:15:34.500 They gave it a chess board.

01:15:36.360 They gave it chess pieces and a clock.

01:15:39.500 You know, one of those clocks.

01:15:40.420 OK, told it nothing.

01:15:42.780 Within four hours, it figured out what it was, started to play and can beat a grandmaster in four hours from not.

01:15:52.560 So I'm not even not being taught anything, not being taught anything.

01:15:56.560 It just had to look at the things and say, this is what this is.

01:16:00.900 And then learn to play it.

01:16:03.100 And then master it in four hours.

01:16:05.760 They thought that that machine learning would that evolutionary jump there would be at least 10 years away.

01:16:13.000 We hit it on Friday, Thursday night.

01:16:15.520 It happened on Thursday night.

01:16:17.420 This is much closer than anybody thinks.

01:16:20.320 That's incredible, too, because being on vacation did not hear that story at all.

01:16:24.920 No, well, you don't sit across from you every day.

01:16:27.200 I don't get that in all seriousness.

01:16:28.900 Like, that's where I hear a lot of it.

01:16:30.640 Yeah.

01:16:31.580 And that should be a huge story.

01:16:33.120 There was a huge story every week, every day last week on AI.

01:16:37.160 Huge, like massive, huge.

01:16:39.860 Now, what do you think?

01:16:41.000 What do you think the governments of the world are going to do with technology like this?

01:16:48.180 I mean, and if you think that the technologists won't do it, Google's already doing it in China.

01:16:54.000 They may not do it with us, but they're going to do it with everybody else.

01:16:57.220 What do you think France would do today with that technology?

01:17:00.600 If they knew who were going to throw things, they knew what people were going to do.

01:17:06.280 Would you ever make it to the scene of the protest?

01:17:09.520 Or would you be rounded up?

01:17:10.920 If you don't think this is possible, thought crime is already being implemented in England now.

01:17:18.480 Thought crime, arresting before you do anything.

01:17:22.840 So we're starting to slip past the First Amendment.

01:17:30.820 We're starting to slip past, gee, do I have a right to say something?

01:17:35.020 We obviously, as a society, are all rejecting that.

01:17:40.020 We cannot reject that.

01:17:42.460 We have to take it a step further.

01:17:44.800 I have a right to speech, and I have a right to my own thoughts.

01:17:49.020 Get out of my head.

01:17:50.460 More on this at the top of the hour.

01:18:08.240 I want to thank X Chair, sponsor of our broadcast.

01:19:50.080 Do you hear the story, and I think you remember this, Glenn, a video of an assistant principal

01:19:53.800 who went out to a pro-life protest, and he was screaming at the kids doing the pro-life

01:20:00.540 protest.

01:20:03.000 At one point, he said, I don't give an F what Jesus tells me about where I should and should

01:20:08.280 not be doing.

01:20:09.220 You're harassing public school students.

01:20:11.160 I will call the police if you don't shut up. 0.98

01:20:12.960 They went out, and these were teenagers, and was vicious to them, and was just like mocking

01:20:18.940 God and all sorts of stuff.

01:20:20.340 Well, of course, it went viral.

01:20:21.760 He was being filmed.

01:20:22.560 He didn't, I don't think he realized it at the time, was being filmed.

01:20:25.720 They suspended him initially, and then finally got rid of him from the job.

01:20:31.500 And it's interesting now, he's somewhat contrite at this point, it seems like.

01:20:36.860 His life has apparently been ruined.

01:20:38.860 He's not getting a lot of job offers after this behavior.

01:20:43.140 And he can't seem to find a gig.

01:20:48.260 No one really wants to talk to him.

01:20:49.740 He sent over 200 applications out last summer, had a few interviews.

01:20:53.180 One potential employer ended up blocking his phone number, apparently, after seeing the

01:20:57.700 video.

01:20:58.780 But worries, he will never work in education again.

01:21:01.340 I don't want this to define me, he said.

01:21:03.360 It's interesting, though, looking at this.

01:21:05.460 And if he is actually contrite, what's again the lesson here?

01:21:09.260 Like, if what he did was wrong, and he's able to, he's actually contrite about it and admits

01:21:16.680 what he did was wrong, do we want him out of, you know, employment forever?

01:21:22.000 This is from LifeSite News, who wrote this up, a big-time pro-life organization.

01:21:25.860 Listen to this last one.

01:21:26.520 I thought this was interesting.

01:21:27.560 This is how they end the article.

01:21:28.480 Although Ruff's actions were clearly out of line, he is a human being who deserves forgiveness

01:21:31.880 for what he did and restoration.

01:21:33.760 Hopefully, he feels true contrition for his actions and will be able to find a job where

01:21:37.120 he can be a positive and supportive role model for others, regardless of their viewpoints

01:21:40.700 on abortion.

01:21:41.620 Let's talk to him.

01:21:42.460 Let's see if he's willing to come on.

01:21:44.840 I don't know if he is.

01:21:45.720 Yeah.

01:21:46.220 But see if he's willing to come on.

01:21:48.160 You know, we all scream for justice.

01:21:52.100 I think we need to start screaming a little bit more for mercy.

01:21:55.700 Grace.

01:21:56.580 You know?

01:21:57.140 I mean, you know, what is it, you know, for patriots, dreams, who, who,

01:22:05.640 uh, love mercy more than life?

01:22:10.120 I mean, that, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's really what we were.

01:22:14.600 We're supposed to be when we, when we got together here as a country that we, we would

01:22:22.280 stand for justice, but we would also stand for mercy.

01:22:25.400 And is there no mercy anymore?

01:22:28.240 More in a, in a minute.

01:22:30.460 I don't want you to miss the next segment.

01:22:35.640 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:22:42.780 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:22:46.420 Phony self-righteousness.

01:22:48.920 That's why so many Americans can't stand mainstream media.

01:22:52.060 And we have another textbook example of it over the weekend aimed at Heisman trophy winner,

01:22:56.780 Kyler Murray.

01:22:57.900 In fact, we have a few names to, uh, to add to the de-platformed list today.

01:23:03.440 Saturday, Murray was the first.

01:23:06.480 He plays quarterback for the University of Oklahoma.

01:23:09.340 He was awarded the Heisman, uh, as the best college football player in the country.

01:23:14.200 Huge honor.

01:23:15.540 Unforgettable night for the 21-year-old.

01:23:18.180 But then came Sunday morning's fallout.

01:23:21.300 Hit piece by Scott Gleason in USA Today.

01:23:24.360 Gleason had his crack reporting that he dug deep into Kyler Murray's shady past on Twitter.

01:23:30.900 Yes, Gleason uncovered the absolutely shocking, completely unheard of truth that 14-year-old

01:23:38.800 boys say immature things when they're bantering with their friends.

01:23:42.440 It's almost too appalling to imagine.

01:23:46.080 Murray, when he was 14, 15, tweeted to his friends and said,

01:23:51.500 Knock it off.

01:23:52.820 You're a bunch of queers. 1.00

01:23:55.280 Oh my gosh.

01:23:56.440 But the horrors continue.

01:23:58.460 We begin there, right now.

01:24:04.560 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:24:07.200 You're never more than 30 seconds away from, uh, the, uh, the broadcast.

01:24:11.560 Uh, now we've changed the first half hour of this, uh, program.

01:24:14.720 So we are together the whole first half hour of every hour.

01:24:18.420 Uh, we've kind of tried to move the spots and take some of the commercials away.

01:24:22.020 So it's a little easier and we're together more in this half hour.

01:24:25.900 I want to tell you a little bit about LifeLock, our sponsor.

01:24:28.720 They have an important security reminder.

01:24:30.920 Um, all of the holiday shopping that you're doing right now, if you do not shop at anything

01:24:36.420 online that doesn't have an SSL encryption, I don't even, I didn't even know this, but it

01:24:41.500 starts, um, up in the URL, HTTPS.

01:24:45.980 Yeah.

01:24:46.080 You need the yes at the end of that.

01:24:47.680 Did you know this?

01:24:48.520 Yeah.

01:24:48.680 They have a little, it has a little lock symbol.

01:24:50.360 I know it.

01:24:51.080 I never look at it though.

01:24:52.120 Of course, I've seen the lock and I didn't even know what it was.

01:24:54.720 Yeah.

01:24:54.980 This means it's a safe site.

01:24:56.480 I'm secure and safe.

01:24:57.460 Right.

01:24:57.680 But a lot of, you know, if you go to a place that doesn't have that, you're at risk.

01:25:01.500 Yeah.

01:25:01.620 Don't give any information.

01:25:03.000 Don't share your social security number, your birthday.

01:25:05.360 Don't, don't, you know, and check your bank accounts.

01:25:07.260 This is, this is the time of the year that, um, you know, cyber criminals are, are looking

01:25:14.080 to, uh, steal information and they're looking for your information.

01:25:18.140 That's why you need life lock with new Norton security.

01:25:22.320 Now, Norton security, um, is the one that protects against the, you know, your devices

01:25:28.240 on cyber threats like malware and life lock looks for anybody who's trying to steal your

01:25:33.060 identity or any of your codes or anything else.

01:25:34.960 Nobody can prevent all identity theft, all cyber crime or monitor all transactions, but

01:25:43.940 Use promo code Beck, get an initial 15% off your first year.

01:25:47.020 It's promo code Beck extra 15% off at life lock.com.

01:25:56.280 Boy, I cannot believe that, uh, that Kyler Murray is still allowed to walk the streets.

01:26:04.960 Saturday, he won the Heisman trophy Sunday, uh, USA today reporter.

01:26:12.480 Oh man, he's, he's working on the big story.

01:26:15.560 Scott Gleason.

01:26:17.060 He, he went to work and he started going through his Twitter and he discovered that at 14 years

01:26:22.220 old, yeah, uh, Kyler Murray used the word, uh, queer.

01:26:29.280 Wow.

01:26:29.820 Which is now acceptable, right?

01:26:31.100 I don't know if it was when he was 14, but now queer is in LGBTQ.

01:26:35.400 Yeah.

01:26:35.900 It's one of the Qs. 0.97

01:26:36.760 Whatever, Stu, whatever, Stu.

01:26:38.060 It's an anti-gay slur.

01:26:39.180 Uh, and I don't care how old you were and I don't care that it was, uh, it was many,

01:26:43.580 many, many years ago.

01:26:44.480 Uh, he had to apologize and he did.

01:26:46.760 He had, he issued an apology for something that he had said seven years ago while he

01:26:50.800 was in junior high.

01:26:54.340 Oh man, Scott Gleason, Scott Gleason.

01:26:56.860 I wish we had your Twitter feed.

01:26:58.640 I wish we had your Twitter feed from when you were 14 or 12 or however old you were when

01:27:03.460 you were doing stupid stuff. 0.88

01:27:04.560 Cause we all did stupid stuff.

01:27:07.480 You know, if the media wants to continue this witch hunt, it's never going to end because

01:27:14.420 I don't know anybody who hasn't said stupid and embarrassing stuff, especially in junior

01:27:20.260 high.

01:27:23.340 What are we doing?

01:27:27.140 There's one thing that matters to me really deeply matters.

01:27:31.340 And that is the bill of rights.

01:27:34.480 It is the only thing that brought us together and will hold us together.

01:27:39.520 And we should be, we should be looking at enforcing and, and empowering people with the bill of

01:27:45.820 rights because without the bill of rights, man will shove and beat and shout down and silence

01:27:52.580 and kill whomever the collective wants. 0.58

01:27:56.040 All in the name of progress, all in the name of safety, all in the name of understanding

01:28:04.200 or our children, but they're not standing for the bill of rights.

01:28:09.960 They're not standing for progress.

01:28:11.480 They're standing for the dark ages.

01:28:13.260 And if you're going to truly stand for the bill of rights and not your right, doesn't matter

01:28:21.440 what's your right stand for the rights of others when it's the rights of others in a time of

01:28:26.680 collective madness, I warn you, you're putting your life and your livelihood in danger, but I

01:28:38.860 also promise you nothing you do in your life will be worth more.

01:28:44.220 It is my sincerest hope that in the end, my children can say, my dad stood for the rights of others.

01:28:54.860 And he stood for justice, real justice.

01:28:58.060 And he stood for mercy when the world lost its mind and lost its sense of decency.

01:29:08.860 But I also want to warn you, when you have to stand for other people's rights, it's going

01:29:13.380 to make you very uncomfortable.

01:29:15.080 It's going to put you in uncomfortable situations and you're going to be defending things that

01:29:18.780 you don't want to defend.

01:29:20.360 It's messy.

01:29:22.180 You have to decide what's right and wrong.

01:29:24.520 And then you have to defend someone's right, even if and maybe perhaps even more so or especially

01:29:31.440 if you disagree with how they use that right.

01:29:34.480 We live in dangerous and perilous times.

01:29:40.140 I was on the phone last night, almost midnight with a friend who called and said, Glenn, I'm

01:29:44.320 about to do something insane.

01:29:45.920 And you're the only guy I could call because it sounds like something you would do.

01:29:52.940 Abort, whatever it was.

01:29:54.440 Abort.

01:29:54.840 I said the exact opposite.

01:29:56.160 Sounds good to me so far.

01:29:57.700 I said, do you believe in it?

01:29:59.240 He said, yes.

01:30:00.960 And I said, then why are you wasting your time calling me?

01:30:02.920 There's nothing better than doing what you believe in.

01:30:05.660 And if it destroys you, so be it.

01:30:07.620 Something better will come along.

01:30:10.900 We live in dangerous and perilous times.

01:30:14.620 One mistake and your career, and it's not just this career, it's your career, any career,

01:30:21.180 one mistake and your career could be over.

01:30:25.160 Every day, if you're in the media, you wonder, is this the day that the jackals come to devour

01:30:32.280 me for some reason or another, for some past transgression or stupid error?

01:30:38.060 Or is it maybe perhaps this monologue that will end my career?

01:30:42.520 And if it's not something I've done, it doesn't matter.

01:30:47.200 They'll just twist your words.

01:30:49.560 They'll creatively edit your words.

01:30:51.640 They'll smear you.

01:30:53.100 And if that doesn't work, they'll threaten your life or the lives of the ones that you love.

01:30:58.380 I have many friends now.

01:31:00.260 Many.

01:31:02.020 I used to be the only guy I knew that needed to have security.

01:31:05.180 I have many friends now who have constant threats on their life.

01:31:09.660 And it's from both sides.

01:31:18.940 You know, it's amazing.

01:31:20.860 I want to talk about Gavin McGinnis here in a second.

01:31:24.040 But Gavin, CRTV, not the Blaze Media, not Glenn Beck.

01:31:29.760 I had nothing to do with it.

01:31:31.980 This was an old thing that CRTV had been dealing with.

01:31:35.840 I think.

01:31:36.340 I don't know.

01:31:37.140 It's up to them.

01:31:38.080 I had nothing to do with it.

01:31:40.720 And it's certainly not the way I would have handled it.

01:31:43.900 But he is out.

01:31:46.240 Now, last week, I just spoke to Gavin.

01:31:48.960 In fact, Gavin is on my show tonight.

01:31:51.820 And it's something we recorded last week about the dangers of getting fired.

01:31:59.420 The dangers of being witch hunted.

01:32:03.320 Now, why, if I had something to do with his termination, would I have him scheduled?

01:32:07.580 And that program is airing today.

01:32:09.580 That program is airing.

01:32:11.100 I don't care who it makes uncomfortable.

01:32:12.840 It's airing.

01:32:15.180 Because this is something important we should be talking about.

01:32:18.120 So after we recorded that last week, I talked to him.

01:32:21.320 I said, I'm worried about your family because they've had more than bricks through windows.

01:32:26.780 I'm worried about your family.

01:32:28.840 I told him I wanted him to reach out to a few of my friends who could advise him on safety.

01:32:33.760 Because whatever you think of people like this Heisman Trophy winner or Gavin McGinnis, I don't know him.

01:32:44.460 But I know a lot of people who do.

01:32:46.060 And they all say the same thing.

01:32:47.460 I may not agree with his approach.

01:32:49.140 But he is not what Antiphon needs him to be.

01:32:53.920 And notice that I use the word needs him to be.

01:32:58.080 Because people who wish to destroy us, they need boogeymen.

01:33:06.820 They need those men who have said or done something in the past that you're not going to like.

01:33:13.740 You're not going to want to defend.

01:33:15.600 And so you won't.

01:33:21.240 Even if you correct your mistakes.

01:33:24.140 Even if you correct it before anyone noticed.

01:33:28.080 You had a change of heart.

01:33:31.160 You apologized.

01:33:32.120 You asked for forgiveness.

01:33:34.000 There is no redemption.

01:33:35.380 There is no redemption in America anymore.

01:33:38.560 And why?

01:33:39.440 Because anyone who is building their life around spreading chaos.

01:33:46.120 Is on the opposite side of anyone who preaches forgiveness.

01:33:50.160 And that's a fact.

01:33:52.000 So the left targets and isolates and polarizes and destroys anyone who will not comply.

01:34:01.640 And they can pick voices off one by one because fear is a very powerful gag.

01:34:07.520 Now it's easy for anyone to say, well, then don't pick the voices that have done something or said something stupid to be out front.

01:34:17.280 Really?

01:34:18.780 Really?

01:34:19.300 Because I think when they were going over the Heisman Trophy winner, I think they probably looked into, is this a decent young man?

01:34:27.160 No, apparently he's not, according to USA Today.

01:34:32.920 Because their crack reporters have so much, with everything that's happening in the world, they've got a crack reporter who's on the case.

01:34:41.420 I found out what this kid was doing in junior high.

01:34:45.700 My gosh, he was also kissing girls out back when he told his parents he wasn't.

01:34:51.600 But, let's burn him.

01:34:57.560 It's easy to say, let's just get the right people.

01:35:02.520 I want to talk to you about that in a minute.

01:35:06.980 First, you're only about 30 seconds away from more of the show at any given time.

01:35:14.020 100% drug-free relief factor created by doctors.

01:35:18.180 Four key ingredients that help keep your body fighting against inflammation.

01:35:24.940 If you don't sleep well at night, if your neck, your shoulder, your back, your hip, your knee, you have foot pain.

01:35:31.900 Are there things that you're doing that are keeping you from doing the things you want to do?

01:35:42.560 How about just going for a walk?

01:35:43.920 How about golf, tennis?

01:35:45.160 How about this one?

01:35:47.840 Just opening a jar.

01:35:49.680 This is the most emasculating thing in my life, is when my pain is so bad, I cannot open a jar, and I have to hand it to my wife.

01:35:57.260 I know it's stupid, but it just is.

01:36:01.320 Try the three-week quick start.

01:36:03.540 $19.95.

01:36:04.940 Dollar a day.

01:36:05.920 It's a trial pack.

01:36:07.360 You try it for three weeks.

01:36:08.500 70% of the people who try it or go on to order the three-week quick start, they order more because it works.

01:36:14.580 It did for me.

01:36:16.500 Get your life back.

01:36:17.800 Try it now.

01:36:19.140 Relieffactor.com.

01:36:20.220 That's relieffactor.com.

01:36:22.040 You know, I'd just like to remind USA Today and everyone else that even the icons of the civil rights,

01:36:42.460 even these guys who have a day named after them, are deeply flawed.

01:36:47.620 Martin Luther King was far from perfect.

01:36:51.700 That man was commingling with communists, you know.

01:36:55.480 He was sleeping with women other than his wife.

01:36:59.360 But how about FDR?

01:37:03.680 How about JFK?

01:37:05.000 How about even the king of family values?

01:37:09.700 Now, it sounds quaint now, but in 1980, it wasn't so quaint.

01:37:13.520 But, my gosh, a divorced Hollywood B actor, Ronald Reagan?

01:37:20.180 Oh, my gosh.

01:37:21.220 And he talks about family values.

01:37:22.980 You know, he lived in Hollywood and he was divorced.

01:37:26.520 He has problems with his kids.

01:37:29.800 You only know that because he was on the wrong side.

01:37:33.380 The other side?

01:37:35.080 You know, FDR wasn't even shown in his wheelchair.

01:37:37.520 Wasn't even shown in his wheelchair.

01:37:39.660 They're still arguing that his statue in Washington, D.C.

01:37:44.120 Should not reveal his wheelchair.

01:37:49.260 The wheelchair is no big deal.

01:37:51.240 You know, he died.

01:37:52.820 He died with his mistress.

01:37:56.020 There's nobody that covered that.

01:38:02.240 Nobody covers that.

01:38:03.740 Until somebody, these icons like Martin Luther King,

01:38:06.580 it doesn't, isn't radical enough or communist enough.

01:38:09.580 Then, the leftist gatekeepers,

01:38:12.320 well, then they'll reveal who that man really was.

01:38:17.820 I got news for you.

01:38:18.940 Nobody can lead us.

01:38:20.120 Nobody is qualified.

01:38:21.400 Nobody's Jesus.

01:38:25.960 And politics have always been tough and brutal.

01:38:28.720 Jefferson called Adams,

01:38:30.420 whom he was running against,

01:38:31.800 a hermaphrodite.

01:38:32.880 Now, if somebody today on the right

01:38:35.920 called somebody else a hermaphrodite,

01:38:38.400 you'd be chased from the public square.

01:38:40.500 You'd never be heard from again.

01:38:45.220 Well, how about the Heisman Trophy winner?

01:38:48.480 How about Kevin Hart?

01:38:50.000 Fired over very politically incorrect

01:38:53.060 and corporately indefensible things.

01:38:56.780 Last week, he lost his job for the Oscars.

01:38:59.740 I stand with Kevin Hart.

01:39:03.200 I still do.

01:39:05.320 Roseanne.

01:39:07.600 Roseanne, a democratic socialist.

01:39:10.560 She's bat crap crazy. 1.00

01:39:13.640 In 2009, she called for the literal beheading

01:39:16.920 of all bankers who make over $100,000 a year.

01:39:21.120 And she wasn't kidding.

01:39:23.320 But you didn't really hear about it

01:39:24.940 because people on the left,

01:39:26.200 people in power just were like,

01:39:27.340 God, Roseanne, she's a crazy socialist. 1.00

01:39:29.940 She's on her side.

01:39:31.140 I like it.

01:39:31.760 Until she strangely, this socialist,

01:39:34.340 this democratic socialist,

01:39:36.100 decides she was suddenly for this capitalist Trump. 0.85

01:39:39.380 Then, oh my gosh, everything she says,

01:39:43.480 even a much less egregious statement,

01:39:45.540 which did not call for the public execution

01:39:48.500 of an entire group of people,

01:39:51.060 she was just kicked in the head repeatedly.

01:39:52.800 This was a messy decision for me, at least.

01:39:55.920 I got to stand with the Bill of Rights.

01:39:57.160 Where do I stand?

01:39:58.700 Where do I stand?

01:40:01.300 I don't like Roseanne.

01:40:03.580 I don't like, she is a crazy woman. 1.00

01:40:06.820 She's a democratic socialist.

01:40:09.700 I don't like her.

01:40:11.380 She has a right to say it, doesn't she?

01:40:13.620 So I have to stand with Roseanne.

01:40:15.160 However, ABC is a privately run company.

01:40:20.900 It's open for shareholders.

01:40:23.780 The shareholders are going to be screaming bloody murder.

01:40:27.180 Don't they have a right to fire when they say,

01:40:29.040 well, no, we don't think this is appropriate.

01:40:30.640 Don't they?

01:40:31.160 Yes.

01:40:31.600 So I have to stand for them, too.

01:40:35.460 And you know what that gets you?

01:40:36.720 Kicked in the head from both sides.

01:40:39.680 Meanwhile, I hated sticking up for either side.

01:40:42.160 But it's gasoline on a pyre.

01:40:47.840 I stood with James Gunn, who personally cost me a great deal.

01:40:54.460 Because what he said that started this whole thing,

01:40:58.120 he said against a very good friend of mine, Ben Shapiro.

01:41:02.120 That's what caused the witch hunt. 0.95

01:41:04.580 What he said in a video that was taped, you know, years in the past,

01:41:08.840 what he said in jokes and as a comedy writer and provocateur was indefensible to me personally.

01:41:16.560 But he had a right to do it.

01:41:18.760 So again, I get kicked in the head from both sides.

01:41:22.440 But I don't have a problem with that.

01:41:25.140 And kick me in the head all day long.

01:41:27.000 I'm going to continue to do what I believe is right.

01:41:30.540 Because who made me God?

01:41:33.920 Who gave me the right to judge and condemn and then keep them down,

01:41:38.940 even when they ask for forgiveness?

01:41:41.780 Who made you God?

01:41:43.120 Who made any organizations on the left or right God?

01:41:46.020 Because I know who God is.

01:41:47.720 Currently, it's a co-chair position between Mark Zuckerberg at Facebook and Jack from Twitter.

01:41:52.940 That's who we think God is now.

01:41:59.020 We have lost our minds and we're losing our rights.

01:42:06.680 But that's what always happens when people lose their God.

01:42:12.340 Speech is not free if a minority of very vocal activists can not only shut it down in individuals,

01:42:19.280 but make an entire country fear and cower.

01:42:27.860 Honestly, in my younger days, I would have been much worse than...

01:42:31.960 Well, I don't know about that.

01:42:34.040 I would have done many things.

01:42:35.420 I would have done many things that these people are...

01:42:40.280 Kevin Hart or Gavin McGinnis.

01:42:44.360 I would have...

01:42:45.280 Because I...

01:42:46.900 It's in me.

01:42:47.920 In my 20s and 30s, I would have gone the opposite direction that society told me to go.

01:42:54.020 In defiance alone, I would have said everything they told me not to say.

01:42:58.000 I would have done everything they told me.

01:42:59.600 You don't dare do this.

01:43:01.080 Oh, really?

01:43:01.520 You've just guaranteed I'm going to do that.

01:43:05.440 And I would have done it proudly.

01:43:07.240 Because it's an American act of defiance.

01:43:10.700 It makes us who we are.

01:43:13.160 I have no king but God.

01:43:15.620 We're rebels.

01:43:20.240 We're the dreamers.

01:43:21.660 We're the doers.

01:43:22.660 But we get to do it because we dream and we rebel.

01:43:27.280 And everyone who tells us we can't do it, we shouldn't do it, it's crazy.

01:43:32.120 We do it anyway.

01:43:33.400 That's what put our feet on the moon.

01:43:40.320 Freedom of speech in this country has a very long history.

01:43:46.280 And it's important.

01:43:47.840 I stand with the outcast and the oddballs and the misfits. 1.00

01:43:55.120 I seek out the newly humbled and those who need forgiveness because in the end, I need forgiveness.

01:44:00.880 And the country I used to know was populated with a whole bunch of people

01:44:06.360 that also didn't want to cast the first stone because they too needed forgiveness.

01:44:11.000 All right, let me tell you a little bit about SimpliSafe.

01:44:36.980 You know, these are the times that, I mean, because people know, for instance,

01:45:33.820 Hello, Elliott.

01:45:35.880 Welcome, Elliott.

01:45:38.360 Are you there?

01:45:40.020 Yes, but I am.

01:45:40.960 You are good.

01:45:41.780 Thanks for taking my call.

01:45:42.480 You bet.

01:45:42.820 And thanks so much for holding for so long.

01:45:45.460 That's no problem.

01:45:46.500 It's my pleasure.

01:45:47.800 So, real quick, I live in Fayetteville, North Carolina.

01:45:50.100 Long-time listener, first-time caller.

01:45:52.700 And I was listening to your segment about the Tyler Perry Challenge and your experience this past weekend at Walmart.

01:45:59.660 Yes.

01:45:59.840 And as I was listening to it, you finished your segment, and I looked up, and there was the Walmart.

01:46:05.580 So, I pulled into the Walmart.

01:46:07.660 I had an amount of money that I thought that I could, that I wanted to donate to somebody.

01:46:14.760 So, I found the layaway counter, got in this long line.

01:46:20.800 I was thinking, oh, this is going to take a little bit.

01:46:23.020 And this kid came up behind me.

01:46:25.080 So, I started talking to him about the Tyler Perry Challenge and if he had heard about it.

01:46:29.080 And he said, no, he hadn't.

01:46:30.660 And I said, well, I was just listening to Glenn Beck.

01:46:32.840 And he goes, Glenn Beck?

01:46:34.740 And I said, yeah, I was listening to Glenn Beck.

01:46:37.260 And I said, how much do you owe for your payoff?

01:46:41.080 And he told me the amount, and it was within $2 of the amount that I had in my head.

01:46:46.920 So, I reached into my pocket, pulled out the money, and I said, here, I want to pay off your layaway.

01:46:54.680 His jaw hit the ground.

01:46:56.320 He just, he was speechless for like 30 seconds and he was like, you're listening to Glenn Beck?

01:47:03.020 And I was like, yeah.

01:47:04.160 And he said, this is fantastic.

01:47:06.280 He said, I've been, I put this stuff on layaway for my kids and I'm here to pick it up.

01:47:11.880 And this is just wonderful.

01:47:14.720 And the feeling that I felt in my chest was incredible.

01:47:20.220 And that was one of the reasons I pulled over because I had that same feeling listening to you

01:47:25.180 reiterate your experience at Walmart with your kids.

01:47:29.060 Yeah.

01:47:29.640 And I just wanted to share it.

01:47:31.120 I am so glad, Elliot.

01:47:32.900 Spread it.

01:47:34.120 Tell everybody just to do it.

01:47:36.220 Today's the last day you could do it, at least at Walmart.

01:47:39.120 But you could find another place with layaway, I'm sure.

01:47:41.620 But everybody has to have it paid off by today.

01:47:44.740 And it's just, it's a great blessing.

01:47:47.480 Thank you so much, Elliot.

01:47:48.420 I appreciate it.

01:47:49.020 God bless you.

01:47:50.020 No.

01:47:50.720 Thank you, Glenn.

01:47:51.740 God bless you.

01:47:52.420 You bet.

01:47:52.700 So, if you don't know what the Tyler Perry challenge is, he went into two Walmarts on

01:48:00.160 Friday and he paid for everything in layaway.

01:48:05.180 Cost him $470,000.

01:48:10.260 Okay.

01:48:10.540 I was going to say that was a really good bargain for $470,000.

01:48:13.680 $470,000 for two Walmarts.

01:48:17.160 I'm not Tyler Perry, at least not this year.

01:48:20.080 Uh, and, uh, so, and I had never thought of that.

01:48:23.860 I had never even thought of it.

01:48:24.900 It's a really cool idea.

01:48:25.540 It's a great idea.

01:48:26.980 And Tyler Perry is, you know, getting some heat, you know, oh, how come you, you know,

01:48:31.100 you should give in silence.

01:48:32.860 Tyler Perry, that was inspirational.

01:48:36.000 And I think, too, he intended on doing it anonymously initially.

01:48:39.240 And I don't know exactly what happened where he was outed in some way.

01:48:42.420 I'm not surprised.

01:48:43.400 If it's happening like it happened with me, you're there for two hours.

01:48:46.500 Right.

01:48:47.000 Okay.

01:48:47.560 Um, and so I decided, I talked to my wife and we decided that we were going to do, um,

01:48:53.700 a Walmart here in Texas.

01:48:55.820 And so we selected a Walmart and we went in on Saturday night and we paid for everything

01:49:00.980 on layaway.

01:49:01.640 Well, they started getting, when you do that, it will send, we didn't know this until about,

01:49:09.340 you know, a third of the way in, it starts sending out text messages.

01:49:13.340 Hey, uh, come get your item.

01:49:16.040 It's available.

01:49:16.640 And so people started calling and they were confused and they were like, what, what is,

01:49:22.600 what, what just happened?

01:49:24.340 And, uh, they said, oh, we had a good Samaritan.

01:49:27.080 He just, uh, he just paid that off.

01:49:28.760 And people were crying and call, I mean, it was, is so great.

01:49:35.600 Now I didn't know that you could do it for individuals, but you can, you can go in and

01:49:43.240 just for whatever amount you want, you can, you can, you know, you could, uh, try to gather

01:49:52.620 as many hundred dollar bills as you can from every friend that, you know, and go in and

01:49:58.500 pay a good portion of, of, uh, this down for people.

01:50:03.400 You could take, you know, $10 and pay it down.

01:50:08.060 The people that I encountered that I saw because I was there doing the transactions because I

01:50:15.160 had to pay for them all individually.

01:50:16.860 I couldn't just pay a lump sum.

01:50:18.320 So I was there for a couple of hours.

01:50:20.120 And so I saw some of the people and their reactions.

01:50:23.660 $10 means the world.

01:50:26.180 $10 means the world.

01:50:28.100 It's so incredible.

01:50:31.060 And you can get involved.

01:50:32.380 I mean, cause charity goes both ways.

01:50:33.720 And I've decided to get involved in the challenge, um, by putting on layaway, a bunch of big screen

01:50:39.820 TVs strategically near celebrities' homes.

01:50:42.040 Um, my thought is I'm going to get some free stuff out of this and they'll feel better

01:50:47.920 because if they go into a, if they go into a Walmart and they pay off all the layaway

01:50:52.020 and it's like, Oh, Oh, we only had $27 of layaway.

01:50:54.960 They're not going to feel like they did enough.

01:50:57.560 And so you need someone to step in like me to load it up with some 4k so that if they pay

01:51:03.560 these, these TVs off, I'll get them and they'll be like, wow, I did something good.

01:51:07.100 So I don't know.

01:51:08.360 I don't know how you feel about this, but I, I thought about asking, okay, so are there

01:51:16.620 things like, you know, big screen TVs and things like that, that people put on layaway

01:51:21.520 that, you know, they're not really struggling.

01:51:24.140 And I decided not to ask cause I didn't want, I didn't want to pick and choose cause you

01:51:29.580 don't know.

01:51:30.560 You know what I mean?

01:51:31.360 And, uh, I mean, you could have done maybe under a dollar amount, right?

01:51:36.260 Like if someone has a thousand dollar thing, uh, somebody had a very expensive, uh, thing

01:51:41.580 that I didn't know.

01:51:42.380 I only saw it cause I didn't know what anybody was buying.

01:51:44.660 I just saw the price and it was, it was expensive.

01:51:48.540 Uh, but it turned out to be a box of, they had six children and so it was a box of, of toys

01:51:57.740 and clothing and stuff like that.

01:52:00.500 So they had put, you know, their six children and it was a single mom.

01:52:04.380 I mean, so you couldn't, I, I just didn't want to know.

01:52:07.240 No, you just, I mean, it's better if you could do it.

01:52:09.520 Obviously look, you've, you've been, uh, blessed with, uh, being able to help people like that,

01:52:14.180 which is have, and there's been years when we needed help and it might change again.

01:52:18.200 We might need help someday.

01:52:19.320 So we, it's just, I, I encourage you to do this.

01:52:23.020 You don't, I, I don't even know if you can just call them and do it, but it's a good

01:52:26.880 Samaritan program that they had.

01:52:28.540 I didn't know, even know you had this.

01:52:29.680 You can just go in with five bucks or 20 or a hundred or whatever.

01:52:33.460 Today is the last day.

01:52:34.760 Everybody has to pay it off today.

01:52:36.620 So there are lines there now.

01:52:39.280 Um, but what I want you to do is, uh, uh, is, is call Walmart or go buy Walmart or another

01:52:45.420 store that has layaway and just help.

01:52:49.580 If you have it, it's really a cool thing.

01:52:52.640 It's really, really a cool thing.

01:52:55.780 I prefer to think of you in sort of the caricature of a devil, um, with satanic horns, um, out

01:53:04.540 of the top of your skull.

01:53:05.760 Yeah.

01:53:05.920 And this does not help.

01:53:06.940 This does not help my vision and I reject it for that reason.

01:53:10.140 Uh, I'm sorry to confuse that.

01:53:11.840 Yeah.

01:53:12.200 I really, I'm very, very sorry.

01:53:13.940 It's much easier.

01:53:14.680 Yeah.

01:53:15.000 Well.

01:53:15.320 To just, just, you know, just really hate you.

01:53:17.640 Um, so I'm going to go back to that world.

01:53:19.560 No, you can, no, no, no.

01:53:21.020 You can, you can hear all this crap and then still hate my guts.

01:53:24.660 That's right.

01:53:25.120 I guess I could just give credit to Tanya for the wonderful gesture and then.

01:53:28.680 He had nothing to do.

01:53:29.440 Here's, here's what you're saying.

01:53:30.320 Okay.

01:53:30.860 He's only doing this for publicity.

01:53:32.520 Yes.

01:53:33.140 That's what you're saying.

01:53:34.020 That's what you're saying.

01:53:34.660 If he really wanted to do it, he would be quiet about it.

01:53:37.840 I've always, that's such a strange argument to me because I mean, certainly like that's

01:53:43.000 not supposed to be your motivation, right?

01:53:44.540 I mean, we certainly can look at the Bible and see examples of, right.

01:53:48.020 Of if you're doing it for self aggrandizement, it's not a good idea.

01:53:51.340 It's not a good reason.

01:53:52.920 So that's what I, cause I, I wrestled with this because Tyler Perry inspired me.

01:53:59.420 I wouldn't even, I wouldn't have done it.

01:54:01.320 Not because my heart was hard.

01:54:02.680 I just never even thought of it.

01:54:04.860 And so he inspired me and I'm like, he didn't say anything.

01:54:08.160 You wouldn't have been inspired.

01:54:09.060 I wouldn't have been inspired.

01:54:10.120 And so I hope the same thing I'm telling you the girls behind the counter, one of the 0.60

01:54:15.880 girls, I don't want to say which one she had worked at, she had worked there for a long

01:54:21.460 time.

01:54:21.900 They were, they were so great, so great.

01:54:25.280 And, um, uh, one of them, we were just talking about how they were, um, you know, in, in different

01:54:35.960 ways, each of them struggling.

01:54:37.540 And one of them had worked at Walmart, I think for like 17 years and, or 20 years.

01:54:43.520 And, um, she started when she was young and she was living in her car and she just needed

01:54:51.400 a job to pay for gas and food.

01:54:54.020 And, uh, Walmart, you know, paid well and had great benefits and everything else.

01:54:59.460 And she worked her way up.

01:55:00.520 And now she's a, you know, I don't know if, you know, she's on, you know, first name basis

01:55:06.280 with Mr.

01:55:06.920 Wall or Mr.

01:55:07.720 What Mart, but, uh, she's a, you know, she's a big deal there. 0.95

01:55:11.620 And, um, and she's still, I mean, she carries it with her and each of the girls that were

01:55:18.320 helping, they all had been in that situation.

01:55:21.200 I had been in that situation and it was so cool that, I mean, they said we should have

01:55:26.420 made this into a TV show because it's just in, it's just infectious.

01:55:32.500 It's just, you want, you crave it more.

01:55:37.580 It's so cool.

01:55:39.220 Do it, do, do yourself a favor.

01:55:41.320 Do you give yourself a gift?

01:55:43.520 Go do this.

01:55:45.320 Just go do this.

01:55:47.120 You, you, you will, you'll feast on it for days.

01:55:51.200 So you're doing it selfishly.

01:55:52.640 It's selfish giving.

01:55:53.880 You say, I will say that's always a, you know, I, I'm a big believer that everything that

01:55:58.360 we do in life is selfish in some way.

01:56:00.500 Um, uh, this is a nine grand sort of, uh, I just think it's virtue.

01:56:04.920 I don't know.

01:56:06.080 I do think it is part of it.

01:56:07.820 It's not necessarily a negative.

01:56:09.120 No, um, I think, because I think that's how we're built.

01:56:11.860 When you serve people, you leave there feeling better.

01:56:16.120 It does something to you.

01:56:17.760 I don't know what it is, but I think it's a God thing.

01:56:20.480 I think that's the way we were designed.

01:56:21.880 We were designed to help each other and we lose our way and we start becoming depressed

01:56:28.160 and we start just thinking about us and all of our problems.

01:56:32.140 And the best way to cure all that is to serve other people.

01:56:35.580 And it sounds horrible and I never want to do it.

01:56:38.680 I'm on my way to, you know, Hey, you know, so-and-so needs help at their house.

01:56:41.960 I don't want to do it.

01:56:42.900 Can I call, hire somebody to do that?

01:56:44.760 I don't want to go do that.

01:56:45.960 But you do it and you're driving back and you're feeling guilty.

01:56:48.720 You're like, why did I want to do that?

01:56:49.940 That made me feel so good.

01:56:52.240 You know, it's like exercise.

01:56:54.380 There's just something that's a lie.

01:56:56.020 The exercise one's a lie.

01:56:57.140 The charity one's true.

01:56:58.260 The exercise one, you're just sore and then you get injured.

01:57:00.760 Those are the two things that happen.

01:57:01.760 You know what happens?

01:57:02.260 You die on a treadmill someday.

01:57:03.740 That's the end of the story.

01:57:04.900 Okay.

01:57:05.140 I'm willing to go with that one.

01:57:06.820 Can we agree on the goodness thing?

01:57:08.480 The goodness thing is great.

01:57:09.600 Yeah.

01:57:09.880 The exercise thing is death.

01:57:11.060 Good.

01:57:12.200 All right.

01:57:12.700 Good.

01:57:12.900 I'm cool.

01:57:13.460 Okay.

01:57:13.720 I'm cool.

01:57:14.040 Glad we nailed that.

01:57:14.680 Yep.

01:57:14.940 Thank you.

01:57:15.660 Merry Christmas.

01:57:20.160 So have you noticed that your home might be a little colder when you wake up?

01:57:26.080 Could be that you need to change your home's filters.

01:57:31.620 Until recently, I had completely forgotten about that.

01:57:35.060 I remember my dad doing something with that.

01:57:37.360 I, you know, I just rather sell my house than actually have to fix something or change the filters.

01:57:45.140 But I've lived in this one now for a while and changed them.

01:57:49.280 And I was, wow, that's not good.

01:57:51.820 That's not good.

01:57:52.800 You can actually really hurt your system if you're not changing the filters.

01:57:56.280 And by your system, I mean the HVAC system, your heater or your air conditioner, but also your system because of all the crap you're breathing in.

01:58:07.620 Filterby.com is America's leading provider of HVAC filters for homes and small businesses.

01:58:12.240 And they're all made here.

01:58:13.480 You can choose from 600 different sizes and they're all made in America in there.

01:58:16.840 Some of them are custom made if you need.

01:58:18.180 And they ship within 24 hours.

01:58:20.380 Now, if you need the extra reminder, which is very, very helpful.

01:58:25.180 So I don't kill my air conditioning unit or my heating unit.

01:58:30.120 I can change my filters, but I'm never going to Home Depot.

01:58:33.680 And I'm never going to remember to go online and order them again.

01:58:37.420 I never will.

01:58:39.300 So that's why I have the auto order.

01:58:41.700 You can subscribe for auto replacement.

01:58:44.160 And then they just arrive at your door.

01:58:45.620 And then you open your door and you're like, oh, wow, I got to change my filter.

01:58:48.240 You pull the old one out, put the new one in, and you're done.

01:58:51.320 Save 5% when you subscribe.

01:58:54.120 Set it and forget about it.

01:58:55.560 Never think about filters again.

01:58:57.740 Kind of like where I used to be.

01:59:00.020 Filterby.

01:59:01.140 Filterby.com.

01:59:02.100 That's filterby.com.

01:59:04.060 Let me go to Dow in Texas.

01:59:11.780 Hello, Dow.

01:59:12.400 You're on the Glenn Beck program.

01:59:15.400 Hey, Glenn.

01:59:16.420 Yes, sir.

01:59:18.360 The Walmart thing is great.

01:59:20.940 And those people can really appreciate it.

01:59:22.700 But I own a couple of pawn shops in the central Texas region.

01:59:27.740 Yes.

01:59:28.620 And if you really, really want to touch people that are, you talk about struggling, trying

01:59:34.160 to make it, live it on the edge, that's where those people are.

01:59:39.860 At pawn shops.

01:59:41.100 You want to make it.

01:59:42.200 So how do you, I've, I've, I've not done any business with a pawn shop before.

01:59:47.440 Um, so is it just, they, they sell, they just sell their stuff and they're hoping that

01:59:54.560 nobody comes in and buys it, right?

01:59:57.300 Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

01:59:59.660 I, I want, you know, everybody to come buy this stuff.

02:00:03.720 I want people that get alone with me.

02:00:05.680 I do not want anybody's stuff.

02:00:08.640 I want everybody to get their stuff back.

02:00:11.500 Right.

02:00:11.640 That's what I mean.

02:00:12.340 So, um, so when you go in, you can say, I don't want to buy any of this.

02:00:17.240 I want to pay this one off.

02:00:19.220 And then you would call the, the owner of that and say, Hey, come get your stuff.

02:00:24.480 Well, I'm, I'm talking about the layaways.

02:00:26.540 We do a bunch of layaways at the pawn shop.

02:00:29.300 The layaways.

02:00:30.840 So come pay the layaways off at the pawn shop.

02:00:35.420 Wow.

02:00:36.580 Okay.

02:00:37.660 I mean, um, uh, cause that's, that is, uh, where people are shopping that really don't

02:00:45.360 have money.

02:00:48.140 Exactly.

02:00:49.240 Exactly.

02:00:50.500 That's great.

02:00:51.160 Del.

02:00:51.300 Thank you so much.

02:00:52.700 I never, I never thought of that.

02:00:55.040 You know, there was, uh, uh, as I was at this Walmart.

02:00:59.940 Uh, that I went to, um, it was the one that, you know, is, you know, relatively close to

02:01:05.120 my house.

02:01:05.520 It's, um, um, in North Richland Hills.

02:01:09.620 And the, um, I said to them, I said, uh, before we started, this is like, not, I mean, they're,

02:01:19.940 these are struggling and they were like, Oh my gosh, these are struggling people.

02:01:23.400 Yes.

02:01:24.400 And afterwards I said, we're in the Dallas Fort Worth area.

02:01:28.680 Really struggling.

02:01:29.420 And she said, boy, there's a couple of places.

02:01:31.720 She said where, you know, socks are on layaway.

02:01:35.520 Um, and they have, they have nothing.

02:01:39.160 And the people in these areas, they'll go to these, these places where they're, they can

02:01:44.500 get free toys for their kids, but they're all used.

02:01:46.560 And she said, I had to do it with my kids once.

02:01:48.540 And she said, they're just, you can't, I mean, you just can't, they're, you can't even use

02:01:52.400 them because they're so bad.

02:01:54.160 We just, we just need to see the need around us and do what we can in the holiday season.

02:02:01.060 All right.

02:02:03.200 We'll see you tonight at five o'clock.

02:02:06.340 Oh, this is a don't miss show on the blaze TV.com.
