And I'm Jonathan Kieperman. You probably know me as Lomaz.
00:00:05.380
We live in a time where the institutions have been captured by ideology that's fundamentally
00:00:09.780
contradictory to the American way of being and really for even understanding the world
00:00:16.460
What we do isn't just commentary. It's analysis. Cultural, historical, philosophical. We zoom
00:00:22.720
out. We connect the dots. We ask the questions that legacy media is either too afraid or
00:00:30.260
So if you want to understand what's happening and why it's happening, it's time to tune
00:00:35.240

00:00:52.420
Let me talk to you a little bit about pre-born. Around this time of the year, we talk a lot
00:00:55.900
about hope, not as a sentiment, but as something real that shows up when people are given a
00:01:00.100
chance. And that's what pre-born does every single day. They come alongside women who
00:01:05.080
are facing incredibly difficult moments, moments that are often filled with fear and pressure
00:01:08.760
and the feeling that they're completely alone. And they offer something simple, but life
00:01:12.740
changing support. Pre-born provides free ultrasounds, medical care and compassionate counseling
00:01:18.100
so mom can see the life growing inside of her and make the decision from a place of clarity
00:01:22.620
and not panic. Then time after time, she hears that heartbeat. She sees her child time after
00:01:28.660
time. Hope breaks through. These are real people, real mothers, real children, real choices who
00:01:34.200
get a chance because somebody just like you stepped in when nobody else would. In a season built around
00:01:39.680
the value of life, pre-born continues to do the work that reminds us that hope, what it actually
00:01:45.680
looks like. Donate right now. Spread a little hope. Pound 250, say the keyword baby. That's pound 250

the show begins in just a minute. Hello, America. You know, we've been fighting every single day. We
00:02:16.980

trying to feed you. We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.

Together, we'll make a difference. And thanks for standing with us. Now let's get to work.
00:03:55.520
Holy cow, there was a lot that happened this weekend
00:04:02.980
We're going to get into Brown, into Syria, into what happened in Australia
00:04:08.820
Also Rob Reiner and his wife were brutally killed this weekend
00:04:17.440
We'll give you all the details coming up in just a second
00:04:21.100
You and I, we've learned over the last few years
00:04:28.820
The simple fact that pharmacies don't always have what you need when you need it
00:04:32.280
This is why Jace Medical has become such an important resource for so many families
00:04:37.120
They will help you secure medical emergency medication
00:04:41.340
So you're not depending on a system that can break down at the worst possible moment
00:04:45.820
The Jace case will give you a supply of essential antibiotics
00:04:48.760
Packaged with clear practical instructions from real doctors
00:04:51.760
And if you have a daily prescription to rely on
00:04:54.740
Their Jace daily program lets you get a full year's backup supply of those medications as well
00:05:00.020
They even offer first aid kits and other emergency preparedness options
00:05:03.880
That help you feel like you're finally a step ahead instead of being a step behind
00:05:07.380
Look, we can't control, you know, when the next disruption will hit
00:05:14.200
When you order your Jace case today, use the promo code BECK
00:05:25.740
Alright, so let me just cover some of the headlines here quickly
00:05:28.620
Brown University yesterday, there was a shooter
00:05:32.820
The only one that has been named so far is the Republican Club Vice President, Ella Cook
00:05:50.320
And there's just some questions on this one that are weird
00:05:54.880
Also, Al-Qaeda struck and killed U.S. soldiers over the weekend in Syria
00:06:01.200
There will be a military response to that, I am sure
00:06:16.860
There's locals, there's people that are coming from all over the country
00:06:22.900
And the community celebration of the first night of Hanukkah
00:06:27.680
In the rest of the world, it is the darkest days of winter
00:06:49.760
The smell of grilled food that was drifting across the sand
00:07:00.700
Laughter was replaced with the screams of terror
00:07:04.840
Two men dressed in black and armed with high-power firearms
00:07:10.100
Positioned themselves atop a small concrete pedestrian bridge
00:07:13.660
It arched over the Campbell Parade near the Bondi Pavilion
00:07:47.740
Thousands had been gathered for Hanukkah by the sea
00:07:59.880
As friends and strangers alike fell all around them
00:08:07.240
For 10 minutes, these guys fired off this bridge
00:08:16.160
The beach, usually alive with surfers and sun seekers
00:08:25.580
Frantic dashed for some sort of shelter and protection
00:08:29.540
As the waves just continued to lap innocently at the shore
00:08:37.240
Now in the chaos, there were acts of individual courage
00:47:10.160
Last week, we told you all about this woman in Canada, Canada, named Jolene.
00:47:16.280
She has been suffering from an illness that should have been taken care of years ago.
00:47:25.520
She's had three surgeries. None of them have worked.
00:47:27.920
Because of the bureaucracy up in Canada, she can't get any more surgeries.
00:47:31.400
She can't get help, and we got involved last week.
00:47:35.560
And I am happy to tell you that her medicine is, you know, whatever the medical, I'm not involved in it.
00:47:42.400
And we don't, because HIP, I don't want to get involved in this any deeper than this and can't.
00:47:48.040
So all I can tell you is she's with the best doctors in America.
00:47:56.280
And she doesn't have to choose MAID, which is Medical Assistance in Dying.
00:48:00.960
This thing that came out around 2017, up in Canada, 2016, 2017, up in Canada, it is now responsible for one out of every 20 deaths, I think it is.
00:48:23.420
Doctors prescribing drugs and helping people kill themselves.
00:48:33.160
On Friday, while we were trying to save this life of this woman up in Canada,
00:48:38.580
J.B. Pritzker in Illinois signed into law a bill that now will allow doctors in Illinois to do exactly the same thing.
00:49:00.200
Let me compare and contrast and show you what our future is if we don't pay attention right now.
00:49:07.260
First, let me tell you about the Burnout Launcher.
00:49:08.940
One of the most meaningful gifts you can ever give the people you love is a way to feel safer in the world.
00:49:14.280
You know, especially a world that doesn't always feel really steady.
00:49:20.120
It's a non-lethal self-defense tool that gives you real protection without requiring a permit in any of the 50 states.
00:49:26.800
And this year, they've made it even easier by offering both the standard Burnout Launcher and the Burnout Compact,
00:49:33.900
which is smaller, lighter, and incredibly easy to carry, but it just packs a punch still.
00:49:44.300
Now, usually once you put a CO2 cartridge in, you have to use it within a certain amount of time.
00:49:49.120
Otherwise, all the air is gone or the CO2 is gone.
00:49:53.160
And, you know, you're not going to be able to reload like that.
00:49:57.780
This is a unique design with the Burnout Launcher.
00:50:01.100
With as much as is going on right now, this can give you confidence with security, peace of mind.
00:50:08.260
It is a gift that lasts far beyond the holiday season.
00:50:12.260
It is something somebody starts coming towards you.
00:50:14.660
Somebody starts coming towards a group and people that you love.
00:50:17.940
You can fire the Burnout Launcher within 60 feet, and you hit them five, eight feet away,
00:50:26.780
In fact, they're going down on the ground for about 45 minutes.
00:50:29.540
Go to burnupbyrna.com slash Glenn to learn more about it.
00:50:32.960
Try before you buy it at a sportsman's warehouse location near you.
00:50:40.800
All right, so J.B. Pritzker in Illinois signed into law a bill on Friday
00:50:46.400
that will allow doctors in Illinois to prescribe the deaths of their own patients.
00:51:04.900
That is a very important concept that our doctors are to buy into and that we all believe.
00:51:15.440
If you don't have that, all kinds of things can follow,
00:51:18.860
especially when they're couched with compassion.
00:51:21.920
And that is exactly what this is always couched in, compassion.
00:51:27.860
So this new law goes into effect in September of next year.
00:51:32.380
Terminally ill patients over the age of 18 are going to be able to get a suicide drug from their doctor.
00:51:37.840
This is the 12th state in the country that is allowing assisted suicide.
00:51:42.220
And there are about 25 others that are standing in line for it.
00:51:47.700
Illinois is the one, the first of this batch of them coming in to say,
00:52:01.280
No matter what anybody tells you, we're not battling the Republicans or the Democrats.
00:52:09.300
It's not, it is a culture of death that we are battling.
00:52:16.320
When you look at, uh, when you look at what people are saying about global warming, what is the solution?
00:52:27.560
Well, culture of death takes care of that, right?
00:52:30.900
Uh, when you look at, uh, when you look at, you know, just about anything now, um, healthcare, abortion, culture of death, Islam, culture of death.
00:52:46.320
Um, Marxism, honestly, it is a culture of death.
00:52:52.680
Because, well, it eliminates those who disagree with it.
00:52:55.800
Uh, and first it just pushes them off the sidelines, but eventually it ends in camps.
00:53:00.340
Um, but, but also look at what's being taught to our kids.
00:53:04.220
They're killing themselves because they're so depressed because it has no meaning.
00:53:08.760
It completely rejects the human aspect of humanity.
00:53:20.500
Now, Illinois and Pritzker, they're, they're saying, well, no, no, no, no.
00:53:25.360
This is going to be very, we're going to be very, very careful.
00:53:30.520
I mean, Germany had three doctors had to give you permission.
00:53:33.400
So you're not even up the line of Nazi Germany, but congratulations on that.
00:53:38.060
Um, and they have to be diagnosed, uh, as having six months or less, less to live.
00:53:46.760
I want you to know Illinois, America, Western world.
00:53:58.980
This is preparation for when the system can no longer afford to fulfill its promises.
00:54:06.440
They are preparing the system to be able to have the way out and they're preparing you.
00:54:14.420
And so when it gets worse and worse up until the very end, you don't recognize it.
00:54:18.320
I mean, they're beginning to a little bit in Canada to see what's coming their way.
00:54:24.780
Because they can no longer afford socialized medicine.
00:54:30.660
Can, let me just say, can America afford to fulfill its promises that it's made for
00:54:34.780
generations on all of this socialized everything?
00:54:39.060
In fact, there are people now trying to double down.
00:54:43.440
They're trying to double down and expand those programs, which will only collapse us faster.
00:54:49.380
And so when they, when they collapse, you know, nobody likes the, you know, nobody likes
00:54:55.820
And as I've said to you before, I don't like that either.
00:55:06.460
Well, we have a committee and we, we ration things.
00:55:13.460
You're not going to like that because that's not the way humans work.
00:55:17.680
When they ration things, either the people with money or the people with power always find
00:55:23.840
a way to short circuit so they can get to the top.
00:55:26.540
So the one that you're saying now is just the poor, helpless waif that's not getting anything
00:55:34.240
When the system changes, that's poor, you know, lonely waif is still not going to get
00:55:39.720
any help because the powerful, the ones that are connected, they'll get the medical care
00:55:47.620
People will find a way to short circuit the system because people generally suck.
00:55:52.820
And when you give all the power to people, it's not good.
00:55:58.320
So you may not like the, you know, pay for it kind of system, but it is the best one out
00:56:06.680
And you really don't want to give a bureaucracy, the, the ability to kill you if you become
00:56:28.320
Let me just, let me just tell you, it was called C-14.
00:56:41.900
Uh, and it, what it, what it meant was you could get compassionate care if you had doctors,
00:56:53.460
You had a terminal, I don't remember what they call it, but basically that we, you could
00:57:00.920
You, you, there was, there was no way for us to repair, uh, your body and, and, and heal
00:57:07.220
So we could see that basically, you know, you were terminal.
00:57:11.000
Um, we could see that in the future, near future, and three doctors agreed.
00:57:17.260
And then you had a waiting period after you requested it, the doctors would approve.
00:57:22.860
And then there was 10 days before it could be a minister, 10 days for you to back out.
00:57:35.360
And you had to be 18 years or older and you had to have full capacity.
00:57:39.480
So you couldn't listen to, you know, friends or family, you had to make the decision and
00:57:54.580
Then we started having people move into the country.
00:58:03.680
Uh, and then you start bringing in people from all over the world and now you don't have
00:58:12.680
And so in, uh, 2021, they decided the, uh, Quebec court decided, well, you know, death in
00:58:21.820
the foreseeable future, is that really necessary?
00:58:28.640
I mean, I mean the reasonable foreseeable natural death.
00:58:39.460
Those who have natural death in the foreseeable future, uh, we're going to make it a little
00:58:46.020
So beyond the request, the three doctors, uh, and the 10 day waiting period, we're going
00:58:54.940
I mean, if we're, if you're in the reasonably foreseeable future, you don't need all those
00:59:01.140
And then people whose natural death is not reasonably foreseeable.
00:59:07.580
Well, we're going to make them do all of those things.
00:59:12.080
Oh, and by the way, we're removing the 10 day waiting period too.
00:59:26.280
Now they have, uh, a new bill C seven Canada bill seven.
00:59:33.280
Um, when they, when that removed the foreseeable requirement, they added a temporary exclusion
00:59:43.980
exclusion for people whose sole medical condition was a mental disorder.
00:59:53.320
So your death isn't in the foreseeable future, but you really want to die.
01:00:03.500
So does this apply to mental people with mental problems?
01:00:12.060
We're just going to put a temporary ban on that one.
01:00:19.540
Why would you put a temporary ban on something like that?
01:00:23.680
Let me give you the answer and tell you what else it's done and then bring it home for you
01:00:28.100
First, let me tell you about choosing life around the holidays.
01:00:31.400
We talk a lot about hope, about new beginnings, about the value of every single life.
01:00:39.660
Pre-born puts those beliefs into action every single day by providing free ultrasounds to
01:00:47.080
expectant moms who are facing fear and pressure and uncertainty in life.
01:00:51.420
When a mom sees that baby on the screen, she hears the heartbeat, everything changes for
01:00:56.220
It's a moment of clarity and connection and a moment of courage, but she still feels alone.
01:01:03.660
They also provide counseling and baby supplies and long-term support so the women don't feel
01:01:09.280
like they're walking this journey alone because usually they are completely alone.
01:01:12.500
It's practical care that meets people in their most vulnerable moments and offers them something
01:01:23.000
Every mom Pre-born serves faces a moment of decision when she sees her baby in an ultrasound.
01:01:27.460
In that sacred moment, she has the opportunity to say yes, and usually she does.
01:01:33.460
This Christmas, for $28, you can support a woman like this and save a life, her life and
01:01:40.460
the baby's life, a life that might just change the world.
01:01:43.960
Donate by dialing pound 250, say the keyword baby.
01:01:46.780
That's pound 250, keyword baby, or donate securely at preborn.com slash beck.
01:01:56.120
Okay, so why would you remove the restriction on the mentally ill?
01:02:13.420
Remember, the first thing was you got to be fully there.
01:02:18.720
You have to be competent and aware of what you're doing.
01:02:21.380
Then they said, well, the foreseeable future thing, you know, your death is, you know,
01:02:29.920
We're going to take that away, but we're going to put a temporary restriction on mental illness.
01:02:37.660
The only reason why you would make that a temporary restriction is because you're just
01:02:42.120
trying to get the rest of the society to catch up with what you're going to do.
01:03:04.580
So you're not eligible for MAID until March 2027 if you have a mental illness.
01:03:15.000
Now they may push it forward again to give them more time to convince everybody that that's
01:03:22.480
Well, you convince people because there's shortages and that person doesn't have the capability
01:03:46.260
Unless all of a sudden we were like, you know what?
01:03:48.960
That's, you know, that's, that's not who we are.
01:03:52.920
The West is not defined by its technology, even by its freedom or its wealth.
01:03:58.660
Everybody thinks, ah, the West is going to get wealthy.
01:04:02.940
What makes us unique in the West, the entire West, Canada, including all of Europe, this
01:04:08.480
radical idea that the individual has inherent value, that nobody is expendable and not because
01:04:17.800
they're useful, not because they're productive, not because they're convenient.
01:04:32.620
If you look at the past, you look at Athens and Rome.
01:04:37.720
I mean, they just, they just put you, they put babies that were, were not boys.
01:04:45.660
They just throw them on a garbage barge and they would, these barges would go down the rivers
01:04:56.000
But the West through Judeo-Christian ethics taught us that's not right.
01:05:15.480
When a society like ours stops choosing life, it does not become more compassionate.
01:05:34.560
And efficiency has never given birth to moral virtue.
01:05:41.780
If that's your goal, if that's your goal, it kills it.
01:05:53.700
It is the most important thing we can focus on.
01:05:58.040
A lot of people will focus on politics and everything else and what J.B. Pritzker is doing here, there, and everywhere else.
01:06:08.520
We have to start standing up for the principles that made the West the West.
01:06:13.240
Because without the choice to protect life at its most fragile, we are no longer a civilization worth saving.
01:06:26.000
We're just another system deciding, I don't know, is that worth the trouble?
01:06:31.240
And history is very clear where that society ends.
01:06:34.920
That's why last week, to me, it was so personal and so important to help this woman, not just because it's the right thing to do, and because every life matters, and this happened to be a life that came across my path, and I'm like, we've got to stop that.
01:06:54.900
But because this goes to something bigger, and it is infecting us right now, and if we buy the lies that this is for compassion, look, I understand, I understand pain, I understand end of life, I don't want to be in that situation, I know you don't want to be, and I know, I mean, I know what it feels like with my dog, putting my dog down, it kills me, kills me, put my dog down.
01:07:21.240
So, I get it on the dog level, let alone, you know, a parent level, or a spouse level, I get it.
01:07:31.840
But you cannot, as a society, go down this road, because once you open this door, all the other doors just start to swing open.
01:07:43.060
The first sign of shortage, all those doors open up, and guess what we're headed for?
01:07:51.640
Every dollar you spend on your cell phone bill is supporting something, a company, a set of values, a direction for the country.
01:07:59.020
And what's happening with most carriers, the money goes to causes and politics you would never choose yourself.
01:08:05.340
You would never give a dime to some of these causes.
01:08:07.400
Some of them, Planned Parenthood, Verizon, Planned Parenthood.
01:08:11.500
Patriot Mobile is one company that lets you get excellent, reliable cell service while supporting the beliefs and the freedoms you actually share.
01:08:19.740
They use America's most dependable nationwide networks.
01:08:24.420
So, you're not sacrificing any coverage or any quality.
01:08:27.780
And because they're 100% U.S. based, their customer service actually feels like somebody is listening and ready to help because they are listening and ready to help.
01:08:38.700
You're choosing to stand with a company also that invests in family and faith and freedom.
01:08:43.740
In a world that constantly pushes you in every direction you don't want to go to, why don't you do business with a company that's fighting with you?

I remember as a kid, Christmas was a lot different than it is today.
01:09:53.620
I remember my parents always saying, it's Christmas again already?
01:09:58.680
And not understanding that, because it seemed like Christmas was a million miles away.
01:10:05.580
It seemed like the year dragged on and dragged on, and it was a different life by the time you got to Christmas.
01:10:18.180
Now that I'm older, I wish things would slow down a little bit.
01:10:23.540
But it's just, time is merely perspective now, I guess.
01:10:32.060
But I remember being a kid, and there was like this, I don't know, this code.
01:10:38.900
I don't remember how it happened, and it wasn't, I don't think it was because of advertising.
01:10:42.880
I remember hearing about it at school and the playground, and it was never from a teacher.
01:10:48.460
Tonight, tonight's Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
01:11:06.180
At Christmas time, at Christmas time, we couldn't wait to see whatever followed this sound on Christmas.
01:11:14.460
Let me take you to a time before CBS television existed.
01:11:30.820
And the country was clawing its way out of the Great Depression.
01:11:38.840
Montgomery Ward, which had been around forever, was competition to Sears.
01:11:45.520
They had been buying and giving away children's Christmas booklets every year.
01:11:49.840
Someone in the executive chain finally said what corporations always say.
01:11:55.220
Why are we paying somebody else to make these books?
01:12:00.060
Can we have anybody in-house that can do this cheaper?
01:12:13.120
I mean, he did not look like a guy who was writing Christmas stories, a myth maker.
01:12:19.120
His office for Montgomery Ward was barely wider than the desk inside of it.
01:12:24.140
And when they came to him, he was a man who was drowning in grief.
01:12:40.660
And Robert's medical bills were just stacking up.
01:12:44.280
And in the middle of all this, Montgomery Ward came to him and said,
01:12:48.100
hey, can you write a cheery little Christmas story for children?
01:12:52.160
He said later, he almost turned them down, almost said, are you kidding me?
01:12:58.160
How do I possibly write joy when my life is collapsing around me?
01:13:07.860
He said he went home, and that night he looked at his daughter.
01:13:12.580
This little girl trying to make sense of her mom dying.
01:13:17.980
Makes sense of sorrow that was way too big for her world.
01:13:22.160
And he remembered the offer to write something of joy.
01:13:27.840
And he thought, if I can give her something, even if I can't give her stability,
01:13:38.400
So he started thinking back in his life, and he remembered being a small, shy child.
01:13:52.740
And so this character started to form a character that was mocked for what made him different.
01:13:58.540
Until that day, that difference is what saved the world.
01:14:12.760
He was every child who felt small, who felt different.
01:14:21.020
He would scribble lines between doctor visits and shaping rhymes in the hospital hallways.
01:14:27.300
He would draft a few lines, and then he would go into his wife's hospital room with his daughter,
01:14:50.560
Montgomery Ward urged him, finish it, finish it.
01:14:57.220
When he finished it, he printed, the company did, 2.4 million copies of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
01:15:12.060
It was read aloud in living rooms across America.
01:15:20.420
But they knew the feeling of hope being born out of heartbreak.
01:15:27.560
And then something that I'm not sure would happen now happened.
01:15:34.080
Montgomery Ward, which was usually really strict about intellectual property, did something unprecedented.
01:15:49.820
And they said, Robert, we see you're struggling with these bills.
01:15:57.960
And they gave him full ownership of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
01:16:03.200
All rights, all royalties, all future potential.
01:16:08.360
That is an act of Christmas generosity that is unheard of.
01:16:13.820
And especially in that era when everyone was struggling.
01:16:16.820
And it changed the course of May's life and his daughter.
01:16:20.000
His wife died, but his wife's brother was a songwriter named Johnny Marks.
01:16:32.520
He took the story and shaped it into a melody that we all know.
01:16:51.740
And he's like, I don't think this fits my image, but I'll give it a whirl.
01:16:57.340
In 1949, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer by Gene Autry became the second best-selling song of all time,
01:17:11.300
And it turned Robert May's grief-born story and sorrow into cultural bedrock.
01:17:26.140
And then 25 years after the original booklet, Rankin and Bass brought the Rudolph to stop motion animation.
01:17:37.140
And Burl Ives played the snowman and the abominable snow monster in the island of misfit toys.
01:17:51.740
Economists have tried to figure out what the rights were worth in total.
01:18:06.460
They looked at the entire empire, the books, the records, the TV specials, the merchandising, the international licensing.
01:18:20.040
Adjusted for inflation, the money that is flowing to the May and the Marx family today.
01:18:28.760
The rights that Montgomery Ward handed to the grieving widower because it seemed like the right thing to do.
01:18:44.540
One of the most valuable intellectual properties in Christmas hero, in history.
01:18:50.260
Handed to a man who just needed hope for his daughter.
01:18:57.080
And I think that's why we waited as kids and we still love it as adults.
01:19:06.900
Because behind the red nose and behind the jingle bells and the puppets and the fat snowman.
01:19:15.380
Is this a single man who in a very small office.
01:19:21.000
And then a company showed unexpected compassion.
01:19:41.060
Born from the pain of a father just trying to give his daughter one spark of light in the dark.
01:19:51.000
And that's why we waited for that sound at this time every year.
01:19:59.140
And while that sound isn't there anymore for our children.
01:20:30.420
Most of us put off getting a security system for the same reason we put off fixing anything around the house.
01:20:36.280
We assume it's going to be complicated, expensive, or take up a whole weekend.
01:20:42.580
SimpliSafe has completely changed what home security looks like today.
01:20:45.680

01:21:07.880
The simple setup of the professional monitoring that happens.
01:21:17.220
People are shocked by how quickly they go from really should get a security system to, oh, wow, that's it.
01:21:24.700
It's modern security for people who don't have time for the games.
01:21:27.780

01:21:50.560
Here's what I found on the web about that private conversation you just had.
01:22:12.660
One of the most exhausting parts of managing money today is this.
01:22:24.900
A lot of times, you're making choices based on whoever shouted the loudest this week.
01:22:28.940
And that's what WorthPoint tries to do something about.
01:22:33.620
They have certified financial planners that start by giving you something that's almost impossible to find in the financial world.
01:22:42.780
They take the time to understand the full picture.
01:22:45.920
Your investments, your tax exposure, your estate plan, your charitable goals, the milestones ahead.
01:22:51.500
And they piece it together into a long-term strategy that you can actually follow.
01:22:57.160
It's about reducing the noise so that you can make decisions with confidence.
01:23:01.160
And because we haven't all memorized it yet, we've got the legal section that I love so much.
01:23:05.900
It's about WorthPoint, of course, being a registered investment advisor.
01:23:09.360
Registration does not imply a certain level of skill or training.
01:23:12.160
Before considering their services, you should carefully review WorthPoint's disclosures at worthpointinvest.com.
01:23:18.540

01:23:22.640
All investing involves risk, of course, including the risk of loss.
01:23:26.260
This is a paid endorsement, and I am a client of WorthPoint.
01:23:30.200
What really matters is, of course, that you can stop feeling reactive and start feeling in control again.
01:24:01.420
It was a tough weekend where Rob Reiner and his wife were brutally murdered over the weekend.
01:24:08.960
It looks like, hopefully this is not the case, but it looks like it might be a son who had mental illness and was in and out of homelessness his whole life.
01:24:24.180
And our deepest condolences go out to everybody involved and those who loved him as much as we did.
01:24:30.920
We didn't agree on anything politically, but what a genius and what a lot of joy.
01:24:35.880
Princess Bride, Stand By Me, all of that from that guy.
01:24:41.680
And we saw some really tragic stuff happening in Syria, Brown University, and in Australia, probably the most dramatic.
01:24:49.800
But, you know, let's, let's focus here a minute here on the hero.
01:24:55.000
There was a hero that showed up in that, in that scenario, which is amazing.
01:25:00.900
Really, when you watch the video, can we play the video?
01:25:06.140
He's there behind the tree and he goes and he jumps on the back of the shooter.
01:25:14.800
He grabs him and grabs the gun and does not fire at him, just holds him in place.
01:25:21.400
That's frightening, especially since if you, where he's walking, he's walking.
01:25:26.700
The shooter is now walking back towards the bridge.
01:25:34.800
So somebody on the bridge, if they would have seen it, they could have shot the hero.
01:25:55.860
You know, obviously, well, I can't say obviously.
01:26:18.400
The other thing that makes you nervous, too, is if someone doesn't see the heroic act,
01:26:25.760
And pointing it at somebody, like you could have been shot by police or something that
01:26:32.460
Or I would say a good meaning bystander, but none of them, all their guns have been taken
01:26:40.760
They're saying that these guns were obtained legally by these people.
01:26:48.480
I mean, first of all, the media has been lying about Australia's gun laws forever.
01:27:00.120
And they did take, they did buy back something like 35% of the guns that were in the country.
01:27:05.820
Though, there are some reports that there's more now than there were back then.
01:27:13.820
The conversation about Australia's gun laws is one of, has been for years, one of the most
01:27:28.180
There have been multiple university studies that have noted that there was no observable
01:27:40.220
But none of that matters because they want to, they want to take your guns away so that
01:27:45.040
when this happens in your community, you're just a helpless victim as well.
01:27:48.300
And thank God we don't put up with that nonsense here.
01:27:56.560
We have some really good things right around the corner.
01:28:00.640
Some uplifting things for the holiday season and some good news as well.
01:28:15.140
So it is amazing how much tension we carry around without even, you know, noticing it.
01:28:19.880
Hours at the desk, long drives, the stress you absorb.
01:28:23.200
You don't realize how tight your back has become until you feel what it's like when you release
01:28:28.300
So, I mean, I lay down on my chirp and I, when I first lay down, I'm like, I can't really
01:28:35.420
And then all of a sudden it all releases and it feels so good.
01:28:40.480
It works in a way that, you know, a lot of things don't.
01:28:42.940
The chirp wheel, if you, if you will, has a groove down the center.
01:28:46.580
So you put your spine there and you get a real targeted stretch that opens your back
01:28:50.620
up and relieves the pressure right where you feel it most.
01:28:55.500
You can do it in 30 seconds without leaving your living room.
01:28:58.080
Most people feel the difference the very first time they try it.
01:29:01.000
In a world where everything seems to get more and more complicated by the day, there's

01:30:03.920
Down the road where shadows hide, feel the dark on every side.
01:30:09.660
Stand your ground when times get dark, gotta face the dark and embrace the fire.

the tragedy by the way um i want to show you how rob reiner for as politically different as we were
01:37:12.640
and we were extraordinarily politically different i want you to listen to how he handled the death of
01:37:19.440
charlie kirk when you first heard about the murder of charlie kirk what was your immediate gut reaction
01:37:28.160
to it well horror absolute horror uh and i unfortunately saw the video of it and it's uh
01:37:40.480
it's in this it's beyond belief what happened to him and uh that should never happen to anybody i
01:37:47.120
don't care what your political beliefs are that's not acceptable that's not a solution uh to uh to solving
01:37:55.040
problems and uh i felt like what uh his wife said at the uh the service that the memorial they had
01:38:02.640
was exactly right and totally i believe you know i'm i'm jewish but i uh i believe in the teachings of
01:38:09.820
jesus and i believe in doing to others and i believe in forgiveness and what she said to me was uh
01:38:17.680
uh uh beautiful and absolutely you know what she she forgave uh his his assassin and i think that that is uh admirable
01:38:33.360
i mean how many how many other people did that especially for as vehemently as he disagrees with the right
01:38:39.760
he was a human being and i think that's why his i think that's why his films lasted and connected
01:38:49.360
with us you know i mean a lot in a lot of ways his films were a little like john hughes movies
01:38:55.760
john hughes was i mean he was lightning in a bottle and there was something and i i think that's something
01:39:02.080
in many ways was john candy but there was something about the john hughes movie that connected to us on a
01:39:11.920
basic level you know that that spoke to us deeper than just a movie or a script you know it it came from
01:39:23.760
in a place that was real and i and i and i i think of peter falk and uh what's his name used to be in
01:39:32.720
the wonder uh uh can't remember it used to be in the wonder years that was was the little kid on princess
01:39:38.480
bride that just those scenes alone fred savage just those scenes alone were so real so real
01:39:48.560
when peter falk turns around and says as you wish
01:40:07.040
now on the other side of the world while this was going on uh we had another tragedy this one involving
01:40:18.960
jewish people being shot by newcomers to australia that were you know
01:40:26.800
clearly islamists that their hatred of jews went and put them out on the beach and they just
01:40:37.280
just started riddling and raining bullets and terror down um and by the way i'm not going to call
01:40:44.000
them suspected terrorists that they're terrorists we we saw them the video was there and i couldn't
01:40:50.800
believe how long it took it went on for 10 minutes 10 minutes um and but it's been coming for a long time
01:41:00.960
here's the australian prime minister three months ago cut 14 this is three months ago the australian prime minister
01:41:08.560
australians should be able to feel safe and at home in any community the targeting of australians based on
01:41:16.320
their religious beliefs is not only an attack on them but it's an attack on our core values
01:41:23.360
we must stamp out the hate fear and prejudice that drives islamophobia and division in our society
01:41:32.320
his consultations have been wired and he has made a range of recommendations
01:41:38.400
we'll carefully consider these and continue to work closely with aftab
01:41:44.720
today marks a critical and long-awaited moment for the muslim communities of australia
01:41:50.240
this is a historic opportunity it is a moment where we decide who we are as a country and whether we
01:41:57.840
are prepared to take the necessary steps to ensure that every person in australia regardless of faith
01:42:04.640
ethnicity or background is safe valued and treated with dignity the reality is this is their envoy to
01:42:14.320
islamophobia now i would assume that they have an envoy to anti-semitism and to uh anti-colonialist
01:42:26.320
sentiment and anti-whatever but you and i both know they don't um the the jewish community in australia
01:42:36.160
has been told to pipe down for for a while now stop it you're you're not under attack you're not under
01:42:41.760
attack these are isolated incidents and then look at this and i wouldn't doubt if they're not saying
01:42:46.640
this is an isolated incident my question is when when are there going to be enough of these isolated
01:42:53.280
incidences to to where countries in the west start to say you know what no that's not what's happening
01:43:00.400
here there are people in our country that are not friendly to our way of life they they wish it
01:43:09.360
ill i mean when you're chanting i saw a video over the weekend people were chanting um death to canada
01:43:18.640
death to israel death to canada and they were in montreal what what how death to canada how are you
01:43:28.880
still in the country i mean if you're canadian i guess you have the right to say that um you know
01:43:34.880
so you can't export people who are canadian but anybody else who is in that crowd that's not canadian
01:43:41.920
get the hell out of the country and when are we going to start saying those things canada is a long
01:43:48.320
way away from saying those things i think europe is a long way away from saying those things but you're
01:43:52.800
seeing what's happening in england and what's happening in england you're starting to now see
01:43:58.240
masked uh men who i would deem as terrorists if they start to do the same thing that was being done
01:44:07.600
you know between the protestants and the irish in in ireland back in the 70s and 80s that was terror
01:44:17.360
but they're now standing up and saying hey our government isn't listening to us at all and
01:44:22.240
we're not putting up with it because they're trying to erase our civilization and you're going
01:44:26.000
to have in ireland and you probably already do the bubba effect people are going to be like damn right
01:44:30.880
i don't want terrorism on our streets but they're not doing anything so these guys are at least trying
01:44:35.920
to save our culture and our country even though they're violating every possible principle of the
01:44:42.160
country and the culture people will listen to it why because the politicians refuse to respond to what
01:44:50.640
everyone sees and everyone feels is true and when that happens when they fail to respond people will
01:44:58.960
start to listen to somebody who doesn't know the difference between a muslim and islamist
01:45:05.760
that's when you have the bubba effect and that's when it goes bad and it's about to go bad in every
01:45:10.560
country more in just a second first let me tell you about good ranchers most of the meat and grocery
01:45:15.840
stores today comes with a label that tells you very little sometimes it hides even more
01:45:20.320
product of the usa doesn't always mean what you think it means and uh you know if you care about
01:45:26.000
where your food actually comes from that should matter good ranchers fixes that problem by delivering
01:45:31.120
100 american meat from farms and ranches that still take pride in doing things the right way
01:45:35.840
when you open up a good ranchers box you're getting real quality real transparency and real
01:45:40.960
consistency that you can count on no imported blends stew can you tell me what is a blend of meat
01:45:46.880
besides sausage what's a blend of me right you try to keep your meat from the one animal is that what
01:45:54.080

01:46:39.120
let me take you to cut 26 here please this is tim waltz asked if the somali community should hold
01:46:45.760
fraudsters accountable listen to this you want to hear more from members and leaders from the small
01:46:52.560
community to say we need to hold our we need to look at ourselves we need to hold our own
01:46:58.960
neighbors accountable because look at the damage that this has done to our community what do you
01:47:03.360
want to hear more from instead of just saying don't blame us do you want to see more ownership and
01:47:08.480
oversight from within look it's not law-abiding citizens if that were the case there's a lot of
01:47:14.400
white men should be holding a lot of white men accountable for the for the crimes that they have
01:47:18.240
committed um i think for the community i'm trying to educate their population because i think what
01:47:22.720
you're seeing here is there are secondary victims in this that there's there's providers inside the
01:47:27.280
community that are then victimizing the community themselves by signing them up because when we're
01:47:31.120
going to some of these people they're like i had no idea i was in this program so i think it's it's
01:47:35.760
asking us then you know for every crime which of course the majority being committed
01:47:40.720
by white men asking us to do more about that i think it's crime in general and i think the biggest
01:47:45.600
thing on this is is just making sure that we're educating the population and again this is 80
01:47:51.840
people or so that have been convicted in this maybe some more in that out of a
01:47:57.680
um it's also like a billion dollars i mean does anybody care about that it's also defrauding you know
01:48:06.400
children of food of housing i mean does anybody really care about that i'm so tired of saying we need
01:48:13.600
more education we need more education no if you were if you were involved in this and you had
01:48:18.400
absolutely no idea you don't need to be educated you don't need any education this was what appeared
01:48:26.560
to be a legitimate system so you know i guess i need education if you're not going to close all
01:48:33.280
of them down so you're educating me on how do i know the difference between a fraud and a real
01:48:38.000
system okay what are you educating them on can you help me with that help me with that one what are
01:48:44.080
you educating them on the these were these were um fraudsters that they they were endorsed by you they
01:48:56.000
were giving given that money themselves they were given that money by you the white man who i would like
01:49:04.320
to as a white man hold responsible like like white men are getting away with this no no uh uh no you
01:49:12.000
are at the top of the food chain i blame you more than the somali community you made it happen you
01:49:18.640
turned the blind eye all kinds of warning you did nothing about it you should go to jail first and that is
01:49:26.240
also you know something i'd like to happily remind people in washington you know the one year
01:49:32.000
anniversary which i said i would hold my tongue for a year on prosecutions that one year anniversary
01:49:37.120
is coming up and i'm kind of wondering we're going to see some we're going to see some big powerful
01:49:44.480
white people go to jail because here's one white man that would like big powerful white people who are
01:49:49.600
guilty of crimes to go to jail and i don't think any education is required there's no education i don't
01:49:56.480
need to educate them about anything they broke the law here's what i'm going to educate you have
01:50:01.600
a right to remain silent there's that's the that is that's the that's the the most education i want
01:50:09.360
to give them okay i don't understand it i don't understand it's really not hard and do we have time

01:54:14.240
you there brian hi glenn how are you good good i thought you were lost at sea here for a second
01:54:26.320
brian what an epic tale can you tell it from the beginning you're standing i think in the miami
01:54:33.280
airport on december 5th yeah it was uh it was last friday and uh it's kind of crazy when i say it like
01:54:41.360
that because a lot of things have happened since then yeah it's uh just over a week ago uh my team
01:54:50.080
and i were coming back from aruba where we were setting up for venezuela operations and i've been
01:54:55.520
very vocal about venezuela for a very long time i've worked venezuela for a long time um uh we've known
01:55:02.480
for a while that president trump uh wanted a piece of maduro we've known that he was very vocal about it
01:55:08.800
as the 45th president and again as the 47th as we've seen so we've been we were getting ready
01:55:14.560
and uh transiting uh transiting through miami airport when i uh turned my phone on and i had
01:55:19.360
a whole bunch of missed text messages from a from a friend of mine so i call him back and he says uh
01:55:24.160
hey look man i know you're doing venezuela stuff i got a weird one for you um you want to hear this guy
01:55:29.360
out and i said well you know is it real is it not he's lots of people call us like nonsense you know
01:55:35.040
this what's interesting is this is our 800th mission that we've done as a team 800 missions
01:55:42.000
in four years so we get calls to do stuff all the time my team and i started august 2021 and we're in
01:55:49.600
december 2025 so um we've worked all over the place russia ukraine you name it we've done it gaza
01:55:56.800
we've done israel so i asked my guy i asked my friend you know is it real because i'm transiting and
01:56:02.800
i don't want to waste a lot of time and we're busy and he says it's real it's real and i said okay
01:56:08.080
cool connect me he said do you mind if i show your number i go yeah sure you know i go are you in on
01:56:12.080
it he says no not really uh not really i'm not really in on it i go okay cool so he connects me
01:56:17.520
with this guy who turns out to be on maria's team and uh one of her one of her folks and at first he
01:56:24.880
wasn't transparent that it was maria so he asked me a couple of questions do you do things in venezuela
01:56:30.480
tell me a little bit about yourself we go through that then and he asked me um and i go uh um uh you
01:56:36.720
know what what's the project and he starts to kind of describe it his way and he's a good guy but he's
01:56:43.280
never done this before and i spent 27 years in the intelligence business so i've done this a lot
01:56:48.640
and i very quickly figure out that it's maria and at first he denies it he says no no no no no how funny
01:56:54.640
would that be and i said look you know when i know you know you know when i know that it's maria
01:57:00.800
if you're not transparent and honest with me i'm not going to be able to do a good job so i need you
01:57:05.200
to you know you know we're going to be in this thing together i'm not saying i'm going to do this
01:57:09.120
but if we're going to do this together you need to be honest with me because things change and he
01:57:13.680
says okay he kind of he kind of admits to it and cops to it and um and uh that was friday saturday
01:57:21.520
we that was friday night he and i spoke uh again friday night when i got back to uh to tampa and then
01:57:29.120
we spoke again all day saturday doing things sunday uh sunday we set conditions sunday we set conditions
01:57:36.320
and planned i went to miami to go meet with some venezuelan friends of mine uh monday morning deploy
01:57:43.360
uh monday morning early deployed to uh the caribbean we set conditions on monday initiated
01:57:50.880
on tuesday she was in oslo for wednesday that's unbelievable what does it mean that you um set
01:57:58.800
conditions on monday what does that mean so it's kind of like um it's um this is an orchestra okay
01:58:08.880
the way these operations work is like an orchestra you have the string section you have the horn
01:58:14.080
section you have the the drum the percussion section right you have the yeah i don't play
01:58:18.560
music but whatever you know all the different things all the different instruments yeah you know
01:58:23.440
now yeah you know you have like the violin people i was wondering why you missed the viola but
01:58:29.200
yeah yeah right you know it's not my area i don't do that i do i do maduro you know right so
01:58:34.560
you have you have you have all these different people and it's all music and we're all on the
01:58:41.120
same team but the reality is the violin people don't know how to play a saxophone and the saxophone
01:58:46.000
people don't know how to play a violin correct and the music of the violin is different than that of
01:58:50.160
the saxophone and all and all these different things so but everything has to work in harmony
01:58:55.360
and if one instrument in the orchestra is off key you're not making music you're making noise and that's
01:59:01.920
the one thing that everyone hears so when we build these operations and we talk about setting
01:59:06.240
conditions it's getting all the instruments to be ready to rock and roll and many of those instruments
01:59:11.920
many of these people do not know what they're doing so there are people lots of people who worked on
01:59:18.720
this operation who were instrumental in this operation who have no idea that they helped get maria
01:59:26.240
carina machado to safety they they do not know for their safety for their safety and also because we
01:59:33.520
need to understand you know maria carina machado maria carina machado from the maduro perspective is
01:59:42.080
like what osama bin laden was for us there's tens of thousands of intelligence officers have been looking
01:59:48.560
for her from cuba venezuela russia iran the chinese hezbollah cartels she is the most wanted
01:59:57.600
person in the western hemisphere and to add insult to injury because of the nobel prize
02:00:04.400
piece they knew if she was in venezuela that she's going to need to be making a move this week
02:00:10.720
so they were really switched on they were really looking aggressively so how did so how did you get
02:00:15.760
her from hiding to the shore and then you got to tell the story about the water because that's insane
02:00:22.080
so the water was honestly the harder part yeah so really we don't get into we don't get into a
02:00:27.920
lot of the specifics for security reasons as you would imagine okay okay okay yeah yeah you know
02:00:32.640
she was in that she was in a house and then had to get to a spot where there was a boat and this
02:00:38.720
is not a port where you're like getting a ticket this is a sandy nasty kind of you know kind of beachy
02:00:48.960
marshy area that you wouldn't really want to be in honestly you know and that's why we picked these
02:00:55.120
sites for that reason um you're not pleasant and uh she embarks on boat one with a small with a small
02:01:03.840
group of amazing men and uh they're embarking uh with the expectation of rendezvousing with the
02:01:10.480
second boat that's the boat that i was on which has come from across the whole caribbean so our trip
02:01:15.520
was very very far their trip was relatively short but we're doing this under cover of night in pitch
02:01:21.120
black we had a little bit of moonlight a little bit and a lot of cloud cover we were in five to ten foot
02:01:26.960
seas depending on um where right uh and these are not big boats these are not big boats oh yeah by the
02:01:35.040
way the whole world is trying to find her and oh yeah by the way our military is dropping things from
02:01:40.400
the sky onto boats so this is a pretty uh yeah so pretty high so so did you so she is she goes out
02:01:49.280
she's running really late right the boat launches really late um and then the the seas pick up they're
02:01:56.800
10 foot waves they start drifting you don't have eyes on her nobody has eyes on her and you do have
02:02:03.760
the threat from above did did anyone above no don't don't bomb us please don't just don't bomb us and
02:02:10.640
don't a little boat might be out there don't bomb them either so this this is where it gets this is
02:02:16.160
where it gets hard for people to understand this is where it gets hard for people to understand is
02:02:20.480
that you know we nothing we do is classified i'm not government uh contrary to
02:02:26.640
common opinion we do not work for the cia i'm not a uh i've been listed as a former assassin i've
02:02:32.720
been listed all kinds of things none of these things are true we're we're a we're a non-profit we're
02:02:37.680
just the foundation what you see is what you get if you go to graywellrescue.org you can read about
02:02:42.880
all of it um we're donor funded this operation was paid for by donors uh tax deductible okay so so um
02:02:53.120
um uh you because of who we are though and because of what we've done and where we've done it and
02:03:01.040
where we come from and where my board comes from uh and where my team comes from we have our fingers
02:03:07.280
we have a very large network of good guys and bad guys the good guys are at the highest levels of
02:03:14.240
government four-star admirals and generals uh deputy assistant secretary of fill in the blank
02:03:20.800
you know um uh from the intelligence community the diplomatic corps the military community
02:03:26.480
the special operations community you know i've only been doing this for 27 years only right so
02:03:32.000
we know a lot of people um and we have a very good reputation so when we call and say hey look
02:03:39.280
you know here's a lat long we're going to be conducting an operation in the vicinity of this
02:03:43.680
lat long around this time be advised that's us number one don't get excited that's us don't kill us
02:03:50.880
number one number two it would be super cool if you could tip us off if you see someone coming to
02:03:55.280
someone else trying to kill us from from you know flight time of a venezuelan f-16 to where we were
02:04:01.440
operating about four and a half minutes five minutes so oh my god we are danger close to the bad guys
02:04:08.080
and the way these work is you don't know if you have a problem until you're getting shot at
02:04:17.120
they don't right like call you on the phone and say hey jerks we know what you did we're coming for
02:04:22.240
you you better surrender they don't do that they shoot you full of holes instead so this whole time
02:04:28.240
we're doing all kinds of tricks all kinds of deception operations we're putting things out
02:04:33.200
uh getting things on the street we had we had some a whole group of bad guys convinced that we were
02:04:38.640
going through the land into guyana that wasn't true all kinds of things designed to create confusion
02:04:46.560
create space to create uh noise right it's the abracadabra of any good magic trick right uh
02:04:55.360
the russians call me amerikansky volshavnik it means the american magician this is how i got the name is
02:05:00.880
because you know when the when you're doing the street card guy says don't take your eye off the
02:05:05.840
card here's your card don't take your eye off the card the last place you should be looking is that
02:05:10.480
card that's the last place you should be right okay well that's how we do this stuff so um it's it's a
02:05:18.720
little bit of deception it's a lot of manipulation and it's a lot of really understanding how the bad
02:05:24.320
guys function how they work what they'll fall for the cultural nuances i know they are hungry for
02:05:31.680
maria i know that i know that i spent 27 years in the intelligence business hungry for very important
02:05:38.800
people and i know how i would react if i got a tip right from a reliable source so we create that tip
02:05:46.320
for a reliable source from a reliable source and they go for it what happens they're dedicating
02:05:52.320
resources to a figment of my imagination and now it gives me space can you rather not it gives me
02:05:59.360
