hello america well i thought i'd start with the scariest thing since it's halloween what is the
00:02:56.580
scariest thing we could talk about i don't know how about the disillusion of the uh the entire
00:03:02.080
conservative movement how about that how about that one this is something i don't want to talk
00:03:06.280
about i haven't wanted to talk about been talking about it behind the scenes um because uh i think it's
00:03:13.420
something that you know i was hoping to be able to help solve behind the scenes um but a lot of people
00:03:20.840
in this movement don't want to talk about it some people in this movement that's all they want to
00:03:24.220
talk about and if you don't live online you don't even know what i'm talking about when i say i don't
00:03:28.620

00:04:44.800
always it should happen in private uh and it has been happening in private these conversations have
00:04:51.760
been going on with people who are you know uh people like me and other leaders if you will we
00:05:00.260
have been having many multiple conversations on how's the best way to handle this because you don't
00:05:06.780
want mommy and daddy fighting in front of the kids because then the kids have to decide whose side am i
00:05:11.740
on am i a mommy side or daddy side mommy and daddy are are fighting the whole family's gonna break up and
00:05:17.760
then everything is destroyed but since we're having a fight now on social media the worst place to have
00:05:24.440
a fight now that we're having a fight on social media we for the kids sake and for the family's sake
00:05:30.620
mommy and daddy have to figure this out in front of the kids so they know we love each other and we can
00:05:37.720
still stick together so let me start here because there are so many sides to this argument but let me get
00:05:44.720
into it this is all revolving around anti-semitism what that even means zionism what that means
00:05:51.720
tucker carlson is he on our side or not on our side oh god so let me start here i really do not like
00:06:00.120
seeing people ripped apart uh like tucker carlson uh ripped apart for bringing a guy on who says i love
00:06:07.460
stalin oh do you you love stalin okay let me talk to you for an hour i think that's ridiculous but
00:06:13.840
that's not my show that's his show he bring on whoever he wants to bring on i do not like people
00:06:20.180
trying to cancel people um you know if you don't like it don't watch it that is the solution um i really
00:06:28.340
despise the idea of people mounting campaigns uh to quote drive someone out of the movement no
00:06:35.940
no you don't do that uh and the same thing could be said now on the other side with the heritage
00:06:43.160
foundation for saying they won't distance themselves from tucker so now they their funding all has to
00:06:49.360
stop and people are starting to say we should cancel our funding to the heritage foundation i mean i gotta
00:06:54.980
tell you if i'm on the left there is nothing that i would want more than to pour fuel on this fire
00:07:03.100
we're destroying ourselves i also don't like it when people start ripping other invite them on the
00:07:10.560
show and give you the example and i love tucker uh but you know inviting ted cruz on i thought i felt
00:07:19.700
and i could be wrong i haven't talked to tucker about this one but i felt that that was setting him
00:07:24.900
up i never invite somebody on the show to then rip them apart okay i just i don't do that um i didn't
00:07:31.480
like it when he did that i wouldn't do it and i wouldn't do it to tucker and i just don't like it
00:07:35.580
uh i also have a problem with anybody who says who say they despise christian zionists and mainly
00:07:43.660
because i don't even know what your definition of a christian zionist is what is that it's got to stop
00:07:51.620
we are we are mixing the street remember in in ghostbusters don't cross the streams we're crossing
00:07:58.140
the streams all the time we're crossing them from political to personal to religious nobody even
00:08:04.520
knows what the hell we're even talking about anymore but something dark is happening in our
00:08:10.320
country so i want to try to take this apart piece by piece let's start with the rise of anti-semitism
00:08:18.240
because that's not the only dark thing that is rising in our country that alone should be enough
00:08:23.300
to chill everybody's blood um the other part of it is this loss of a moral compass and these stories
00:08:32.400
all tied together debate over tucker and his guests the heritage foundation their refusal to cancel him
00:08:38.400
so now they're the enemy and the condemnation of of the heritage foundation i mean does anybody notice
00:08:46.980
that we find ourselves in exactly the same place circling the same idea over and over and over
00:08:54.020
again different views different words but the same problem circling the drain okay same problem same
00:09:01.380
solution what do we do with speech we find reprehensible it seems some people think it's really
00:09:10.340
really easy you know it seems to be very easy on the left if if it's a conservative that says something
00:09:17.500
that you don't like or is politically you know uh advantageous to you to stand up against you stand
00:09:24.880
up against and then you get them canceled okay you do everything you can uh to cancel them if it's
00:09:30.220
somebody on your side that you like and they say exactly the same thing you just make excuses or
00:09:36.000
exceptions you know i mean that that it's easy on the left to do that that's simple but now we find
00:09:43.680
ourselves split between these two camps and here are the two camps those who believe silencing is the
00:09:50.120
cure for evil ideas and those who fear that silencing is a bigger evil in itself okay both sides are
00:09:59.080
missing something here so i just want to talk about freedom of speech here for a second there's so many
00:10:05.140
other things that are part of this but freedom of speech i think both sides are missing something
00:10:10.140
they're both staring at the same fire but from opposite sides of the flame so let's break it down
00:10:16.600
into two parts you should be able and i learned this from stew you should be able to change the topic
00:10:23.380
or the words of any statement and the outcome you're feeling on it should be exactly the same okay
00:10:34.520
because it should be the principles that we're arguing here let me give you an example the vaccine is
00:10:41.160
dangerous and you can't force me to take it should you be canceled on that trump is a nazi should you be
00:10:47.500
canceled on that men cannot have babies should you be canceled i love stalin should you be canceled
00:10:54.160
no matter what is said on either side we can condemn we can speak out and debate but the best way to
00:11:02.960
make bad ideas grow is to suppress them if you're a parent you might get this you raise your kids
00:11:10.520
and once you you know once they hit teenage years you'll start to understand this the more mom and dad
00:11:16.920
are against something the more mom and dad hate something oh the more likely it is that your kids
00:11:22.120
just turn the knife in you because that's what teenagers do they'll embrace it but when your
00:11:29.940
children are trying to provoke you for attention the last thing you do is give them the win they're
00:11:36.060
looking for you just don't do that you remember in star wars uh yes young skywalker take it strike me
00:11:48.220
down why did he say that because he knew the emperor knew you strike me down i am more powerful than ever
00:11:54.680
so stop with cancel culture two let me make something else really clear anti-semitism is evil
00:12:04.380
now how do you define that how do you define zionism i don't know everybody seems to have their own
00:12:11.320
definition here being against israel's policies israel's war the way israel or any country handles itself in
00:12:21.660
foreign relations that's not anti-semitism you know let me take let me take great britain okay i disagree
00:12:30.160
with the british government the way they are silencing people you know that 4 000 people last year have been
00:12:35.500
arrested for speech crimes i think russia arrested less than 200 people last year 4 000 in england
00:12:44.620
i don't know that's a problem you want to talk about fascism but if i'm against this and vehemently
00:12:52.620
against this and if i say you know their politicians are destroying england that the islamification of
00:13:00.620
great britain is almost complete and and the silence the official silence from the king
00:13:08.260
and from all of the politicians is evil does that make me anti-british no no i'm not anti-british
00:13:20.460
i have a problem with their policies i find their policies really stupid okay anti-semitism
00:13:29.180
means i have an unreasonable view that all the jews are in some global plot so let me bring it about
00:13:37.120
just changing a couple of words and you'll see it quickly all the jews you know all the jews all the
00:13:43.840
jews they control the whole world yeah they do they they're all in on some evil plot okay let me just
00:13:49.340
change one word let me just change it from jew to i don't know black whites uh blue-eyed blonde-haired
00:13:58.760
people you know all blue-eyed people they're all in a plot they're all in on it together and they
00:14:05.300
control the world okay that's just stupid that's just stupid anti-semitism is the ancient hatred that
00:14:15.800
is burned through every civilization that ever thought it was enlightened every time and it starts
00:14:21.660
the same way and in the last 200 years it's always started with marxism what a surprise well that's you
00:14:28.960
know marx was a jew he hated the jews oh my gosh starts the same way whispers scapegoats and the lie
00:14:38.120
that one one group of people those blacks all the whites all the blue-eyed people all the jews
00:14:46.940
they control the world you know what is how does that end it always ends in blood always and not just
00:14:54.780
jewish blood i mean that's first but it ends in the blood of of any nation that embraces that kind
00:15:01.420
of stuff every time it destroys the nation now clarity is what we need so let's talk about clarity
00:15:09.680
you can disagree with a government the government of israel without being an anti-semitist you can
00:15:16.240
question or an anti-semite you can question foreign aid you can question military policy you can
00:15:22.680
question the leadership without hatred for the jews the inability to distinguish between hatred of a
00:15:31.100
people and criticism of a government is part of what is poisoning our national discourse okay there's
00:15:37.920
no there's no problem question israel all you want i do if america stands for anything it stands for
00:15:48.440
the right to speak freely and to question power any power without being condemned a heretic that's what
00:15:56.480
we do and do best that's what we should do now on that seeing i brought the word heretic up don't tell
00:16:03.800
me that my support because i'm a christian and i believe it and you don't have to be a christian and
00:16:08.960
you don't have to believe what i believe but don't tell me that my support of the jewish people to exist
00:16:14.400
in their ancient homeland which is how i define zionism is heresy don't how dare you
00:16:21.360
i mean we don't even agree probably on the definition of zionism maybe we should we should do
00:16:28.440
that but stop calling my faith and my understanding of my faith heretical christianity and that's a quote
00:16:35.340
but we could have that conversation we should have that conversation between civilized people let's
00:16:42.300
have that discussion what does that mean here's what i mean me and everybody else we must stop
00:16:50.700
dealing in absolutes you're either for us or against us you know who thinks like that again let me go
00:16:56.580
back to star wars siths that's sith thinking that first leads to the silencing of voices and then in
00:17:05.100
extreme cases the execution of those voices that just won't be silenced look our founders were really
00:17:13.340
really clear on this is why the first amendment our founders understood all of this they knew that
00:17:18.460
liberty doesn't die with a bang it dies with a hush when voices are silenced even the ugly ones
00:17:26.460
we begin the descent we circle the drain and then go down jefferson wrote the error of opinion may be
00:17:34.780
tolerated where reason is left free to combat it what the hell is that that means as long as there's a
00:17:42.060
free man that is is willing and able to say that's a dumb idea leave it alone leave it alone an error of
00:17:52.460
opinion you're thinking let just free people have that debate and it will solve itself they also knew
00:18:00.020
that liberty without moral restraint curdles into chaos paul wrote everything is permissible but not
00:18:08.480
everything is beneficial just because you have the right to say something doesn't mean it's morally right
00:18:14.760
to say it have some restraint well but that comes with that comes with responsibility which we don't
00:18:22.860
have that comes with morality which we're losing day by day comes with religion i mean that's what
00:18:28.020
that's what i'm sorry george washington said religion and morality are the twill the twin pillars of
00:18:35.020
political prosperity you mean he wanted everybody to be really no he didn't want everybody to be
00:18:41.580
religious he meant that a republic cannot survive without shared virtue the moral foundation of our
00:18:49.500
society the idea that every man is created equal that rights come from god not government that springs
00:18:55.720
directly from dare i say it our judeo-christian values you don't have to be religious to understand
00:19:04.180
that or to cherish it but if that pillar falls so does the republic now let me switch gears but first
00:19:13.180
let me tell you about our our spotlight and our sponsor it's z factor sometimes the day ends but your

00:20:24.040
how many other staff said glenn can you fix your hair no it doesn't this is it this is as good as
00:20:31.200
it gets and if you are worried about my hair we are really lost as a country anyway um let me talk
00:20:38.140
let me talk here about islamic uh radicalism this is what is filling the vacuum left by moral
00:20:46.080
cowardice we know what's right sharia law is not right honor killings is not right but that's not
00:20:52.520
happening that's not happening anywhere in the world yes it is it is they're not they're they're
00:20:58.720
not taking over how dare you that's islamophobia no it's not cathedrals are being burnt all over
00:21:05.320
europe in canada in america churches are burning cathedrals have gone silent mosques are multiplying
00:21:12.760
where bells once rang okay and freedom is traded for fear and if you think that we're immune we're not
00:21:21.760
immune you can see it growing in our own cities new york minneapolis dearborn okay why is it that is
00:21:30.260
islam why are we debating about israel when we are facing islam like we are what i mean i you don't
00:21:41.720
have to like israel but one of these things is not like the other one of these is an actual dire threat
00:21:48.500
and nobody's looking at it because we're too busy fighting each other what the hell is wrong with us
00:21:53.840
and by the way at the same time the islamicists are gathering strength the globalists the socialist
00:21:59.060
ideologies they are eroding our sovereignty and faith at the same time the communists of old use class
00:22:08.200
today's radicals are using identity race gender and faith as the new dividing lines
00:22:15.240
but the goal is exactly the same destroy the moral glue that holds this republic together
00:22:23.480
that binds a free people if you do that then power can be seized by those who are promising safety in
00:22:30.440
exchange for silence this is why i and i know you do too rebuke the idea you don't cancel people
00:22:37.340
you can make a personal choice but we don't cancel people we don't drive them out of the public square
00:22:43.360
that's what the left does ideas are debated people can be persuaded right after 9-11 i pissed so many
00:22:51.280
people off in my own audience maybe you were part of it i mean we lost stations over this because i
00:22:57.300
stood against the abc firing of bill maher it killed me to do it he was calling terrorists remember he was
00:23:04.060
calling them like they're so brave our soldiers are cowards they never fly a plane into a building
00:23:09.860
no they're insane we're not insane but i stood for him why because the principle of freedom of speech
00:23:19.760
only counts when it hurts to defend it more in a minute this is glenn beck i have so much to say
00:23:28.800
this might take me the whole show uh z factor is our sponsor sometimes the um no i'm sorry i'm not

00:25:11.020
always a bad idea when mom and dad fight in public when leaders fight in public the children get
00:25:17.640
scared not to say that america is full of children but i remind you what is it 60 percent 56 percent
00:25:24.220
can't read past the sixth grade level so maybe but we can have these come for instance we can have these
00:25:31.160
conversations here because there's time to discuss it you don't when i say you know the children get
00:25:37.260
scared it's when you're seeing people rip each other apart on x that's not the place to have discussions
00:25:44.360
that is just it's a it's it's it's your gasoline and that is the fire it's not the way to have have it
00:25:54.280
now i want to make this really clear there is a place for line holders i really am i'm encouraged by
00:26:02.180
so many people who say no we we cannot keep expanding the tent because if everyone can get
00:26:09.420
under the tent why do we even have a tent you're exactly right not everybody you know i really like
00:26:16.420
stalin you're not in the tent man you're not in the tent you're just not in the tent but you're really
00:26:22.440
not worth my time because you're just not uh however somebody like tucker well he's being exposed on
00:26:32.240
tucker carlson well yeah the best way to disinfect is sunlight now i don't i i would have asked different
00:26:42.640
questions i would have handled that entirely different but i wouldn't have had him on in the
00:26:45.680
in the first place as a guest so does tucker do we have to drive tucker out of the tent well no i
00:26:52.340
don't think so but let me just say this do you really think that tucker carlson charlie kirk for
00:26:59.800
that matter is the kind of person that takes public pressure and is like okay i got a cave
00:27:06.040
no he doesn't care he doesn't care first of all he's extraordinarily wealthy he's not doing it
00:27:14.280
for he's not doing it for the money okay he's doing it because he enjoys it and he thinks he's
00:27:19.600
doing the right thing the last the last thing he will only harden his position to come in and say
00:27:27.440
you know what we're gonna cancel you tucker carlson's gonna go fine okay that's gonna be his response as
00:27:36.920
it would be my response you know as as charlie said you know oh fine then i'm i'm gonna find the
00:27:44.000
most crazy person and i'm gonna put them oh you know on the stage at tp usa why did he say that
00:27:50.540
what he was saying was don't threaten me because i would say that somebody comes to me and says
00:27:56.800
you can't have that guest on you can't have that guest on because you know they're anti-semitic oh
00:28:02.340
really yeah and i'm gonna make sure you pay in hell and i'm gonna cancel you and i'm gonna make sure
00:28:07.680
everybody cancels you i would say to that person you go ahead and try it my next guest will be adolf
00:28:15.060
frickin hitler okay i would say that out of rage uh i would say that's also not bookable right yeah i
00:28:22.740
know uh but i would say that out of rage to make the point don't threaten me do not threaten me i do
00:28:29.280
not respond that way uh and uh and and so wouldn't it be better to have conversations privately among
00:28:38.600
friends yes is that a line holder well yes just a different kind of line holder and also it we cannot
00:28:49.360
survive in a world where there's just line holders there also has to be coalition builders those are the
00:28:56.840
two coalition builders and line holders those two each of them equally as important and those two are
00:29:05.980
going to argue from time to time get them out of the tent no no that's not the way to handle it and
00:29:12.720
sometimes the uh the coalition builder will go you know what are you doing this person said they love
00:29:19.420
stalin i think we have to escort them to the door okay got it got it they're both really important
00:29:27.600
everybody has their own piece of the puzzle can we stop telling everyone they have to do it my way or
00:29:36.180
the highway can we stop forcing everyone to think alike this is what we're against at least i thought this
00:29:44.740
is what we were against if we become everything we despise to win we've already lost we've already
00:29:54.360
lost so what what do you have so here's what i would like to suggest we do first of all we stand
00:30:01.600
together shoulder to shoulder with anyone who believes in the bill of rights because that's our unum
00:30:09.000
that's what brought us together in the first place do you believe all men are created equal and endowed
00:30:14.720
by their creator with certain inalienable rights do you believe in the first amendment yes even the
00:30:20.100
third amendment do you believe in all of the amendments let's just take the top 10 because i really don't
00:30:26.740
agree with the income tax one but and i don't care what i don't care if you're jewish christian muslim
00:30:33.480
atheist republican democrat independent i don't care if you're a one-legged lesbian or a three-legged
00:30:41.400
heterosexual i don't care do you stand for freedom of speech freedom of conscience equal justice under
00:30:49.360
the law if you do you're my ally you're my friend and we're not going to agree on everything after all
00:30:55.540
you have three legs and you think that's pretty cool but that doesn't it we don't have to agree on
00:31:01.380
everything in fact i will fight against bad ideas just as strongly with somebody i'm standing next
00:31:10.860
to when that's the next topic to take on we don't solve anything we we make things worse we make things
00:31:19.240
worse you don't defeat hate by hiding it you defeat it by exposing it and having real conversations
00:31:26.840
not threats next thing we have to do is put america first okay and not in arrogance but in gratitude
00:31:34.800
isn't this our whole idea that's what both sides are saying yes america first america first
00:31:41.280
i can appreciate israel i can i can love its history i can love its meaning to the world in faith
00:31:48.840
i can love its people i can believe they have a right to live and survive and love america more
00:31:56.480
i can do both of those things it's used to be called uh walking and chewing gum at the same time
00:32:03.140
i can defend her right to exist and still insist that our foreign policy serves our people first
00:32:10.940
and any foreign policy that serves another nation first and doesn't serve us is not a policy we should
00:32:18.080
engage in equal justice applied evenly that's the mark of a mature nation and i i think that's what
00:32:28.160
in some ways that's what everybody's fighting for there's only a few bad actors here i think everybody
00:32:36.320
is fighting for that idea but that comes from our our unum our oneness not uniformity of thought
00:32:44.900
but in unity of principle america's unum we hold these truths to be self-evident that was never
00:32:52.080
sameness in fact it was the exact opposite of that it was a covenant that we are very different people
00:32:59.680
but we have one thing in common we're all equal and we can disagree fiercely we'll argue loudly we'll
00:33:08.900
live freely but we're going to remain one one people because of that principle that we're all
00:33:15.680
created equal in my childhood and this is not popular anymore i know i don't hear it anymore and
00:33:21.400
i wish it would become the phrase i hate it i got so sick if my father said this once he said it a
00:33:26.360
billion times and it was like you know you'd stand when your father would say something and you were
00:33:31.120
little and you heard a billion times and he wasn't looking you'd be like because he knew exactly what he
00:33:36.880
was saying and it was just wrote right i just have to tell you i so disagree with that person i disagree
00:33:43.640
with almost everything that they just said but i will fight to my death for his right to say it my
00:33:49.400
father said that once he said it a billion times everybody i knew back then was always saying that
00:33:53.980
why don't we believe that anymore that's who that's who we are we're at war not just with terrorists
00:34:01.840
or ideologues we are at war with ancient forces ancient evils that always rise the same thing
00:34:11.520
happens over and over again in history faith and freedom when they lose their anchor this is what
00:34:17.200
happens the islamists the communists the anarchists the globalists different names but the same impulse
00:34:23.600
race the individual differences erase god and rebuild the world in man's image but history tells us
00:34:33.400
another story and this is the one we should concentrate on every time darkness gathers light rises the
00:34:43.600
question is how long is it going to take us before we realize that light is inside of all of us and that
00:34:49.080
our job is to magnify that light will we be that light again people once grounded in truth once again
00:34:56.520
grounded in truth and courage and compassion i really don't care if you worship on saturday or sunday
00:35:03.240
or friday or worship at all i really don't what matters to me is that you believe in liberty rooted in some
00:35:12.600
sort of moral law and in america that moral law is judeo-christian values because because that not
00:35:20.760
politics not personalities that's what built this nation that's what will save this nation and if we
00:35:26.840
remember that if we refuse to silence or hate and and when i say silence silence your own self or others
00:35:36.600
we stand together as free people who still believe in the miracle of america then no force on earth or
00:35:43.880
heaven itself can destroy us i really do i think i think i hear all sides on this well not the i love
00:35:52.520
stalin but the rest of these sides i i really think i hear and i have real compassion for it
00:35:59.320
and i don't know why we're arguing all of these things because all of us know the worst thing that
00:36:12.360
is for mommy and daddy to fight because then everyone in the family has to pick sides
00:36:18.920
and then we break the family up and it's never the same
00:36:21.960
i will not remain silent or excuse it hatred i won't do it but i will not
00:36:42.280
it's my right and it's your right to disagree with me and we can have that conversation
00:36:48.120
but i will always be on the side of anyone who believes deeply believes not just lip service
00:36:57.240
deeply believes in the bill of rights because that's what makes us different from the rest of
00:37:02.360
the world that is what has made us american the whole time
00:37:10.760
i started this hour with i it's something i don't want to even talk about and i don't want to talk
00:37:15.560
about it because i know everything i said today is going to be sliced and diced and put through the
00:37:20.840
internet and there will be somebody that now it takes what i say and you know and put words in my
00:37:27.560
mouth or misconstrue it or i didn't state it exactly right because i only had so many minutes to do and
00:37:34.440
i'm human and i missed something that i should have said and so they will mark me for death
00:37:41.160
all i want everything i do even when i talk about the monkeys in minis in uh in uh mississippi that
00:37:51.800
escaped yesterday we screwed off for 20 minutes for monkeys you know why i did that because i think
00:37:56.360
you've had enough i think there are times where we just have to laugh why aren't you talking about
00:38:01.960
the things that are important because i believe that laughter is also important everything i do on
00:38:09.000
this show everything i do has one purpose save the republic
00:38:17.960
save the republic and i'm not going to be coerced into talking about something or not talking about
00:38:29.800
i will tell you what i believe it is then your choice to listen to reason with me
00:38:38.280
to change my mind to argue with me but in a civil way with respect for one another
00:38:48.120
because that's the only way we save the republic
00:38:56.440
all right let me tell you about pre-born the world you know doesn't always celebrate life in the way
00:39:01.160
it used to we measure success in followers and dollars and and not in heartbeats anymore and yet
00:39:07.800
every great story that has ever been told starts with a heartbeat the heart that began to beat long
00:39:13.960
before anybody knew the name except for god i knew you before you were born
00:39:20.520
nobody knew nobody knows einstein when he was just a heartbeat nobody knew what he was going to do
00:39:26.040
except one pre-born is is here for that first chapter it's the part of the story that most of
00:39:34.040
us never see before the photos before the laughter before the child takes their first breath there is a
00:39:38.760
moment of choice and it's what pre-born does is help turn that moment into a beginning and not
00:39:45.400
an ending they give mom something really priceless a free ultrasound and up to two years of additional
00:39:50.760
support they don't lecture they don't scream at they don't call her baby killer they don't do any
00:39:56.200
of that they show her love and that's what makes the difference maybe we should learn this in so many
00:40:01.960
things and i speak to myself not just you pre-born is expanding their life-affirming care in the
00:40:08.840
darkest corners of our nation to help more hurting women save more babies if you have the means would you
00:40:15.480
give a gift i mean if you have the means fifteen thousand dollars buys a ultrasound machine and
00:40:21.320
puts it in a needy women's center and they are needed all over the country um and that will save
00:40:26.280
countless lives for years to come but even you know 28 bucks pays for an ultrasound at one of these
00:40:32.040
clinics dial pound 250 give what you can maybe it's five bucks but can you give what you can pound 250 say

Okay, let me tell you about, there is a monkey update
00:44:29.800
And I think this is important, I think this is the news America needs
00:44:37.900
And we'll start there and all of the other news
00:44:40.900
Including Kamala Harris who was shocked she didn't win
00:44:44.900
When was the last time this country made any sense to you?
00:44:52.900
Alright, let me get to that here in just a second
00:44:59.900
There's a certain kind of peace that only comes when you know your home is locked down
00:45:06.900
When you're asleep, when you're at work, when you're halfway across the country
00:45:11.900
Every door, every window, every room, all of it covered
00:45:21.900
No wires, no contracts, no strangers camped out in your living room installing equipment for six hours
00:45:26.900
And if something happens, Simply Safe's monitoring center is on it in seconds
00:45:44.900
You need somebody who is going to call the police
00:46:13.900
I mean, I was fine until I saw this monkey again
00:46:17.900
And now I'm just starting to get kind of worried
00:46:58.900
There have been seven monkeys on the loose this week in America
00:47:12.900
And then they said, you know, many of them were captured
00:47:36.900
Like one of the three just made it up to Plano?
00:47:46.900
It happened while the person with the video was shopping for Halloween costumes
00:47:51.900
Store employee said the monkey had gotten spooked by one of the store's animatronic decorations
00:48:02.900
You know, you bring your kid in, you know, and they're wearing a diaper
00:48:06.900
Stick them up next to the, you know, audio animatronic
00:48:15.900
Ultimately, the monkey's owner was able to entice it with a cookie
00:48:21.900
So it looks like we're no longer in DEFCON 1 on monkey patrol
00:48:27.900
The cookie did entice the monkey to come back to the owner
00:48:43.900
I was curious about the legality of this, Glenn
00:48:52.900
Like, you can just buy one and just have it hanging out in your house
00:48:57.900
Well, okay, so apparently Texas is a little bit of a free-for-all
00:49:05.900
Is the state with the most private zoos in the world
00:49:20.900
Texas has more private zoos than any other place on earth
00:49:42.900
So maybe per capita Oklahoma would be in that competition
00:49:45.900
But I don't think there's much more outside of that world
00:50:07.900
You'd see the buffalo running on the side of the highway
00:50:11.900
But they were running on the side of the highway
00:50:37.900
What do you get the man who has literally everything?
00:56:08.900
I feel like we kind of blew past that really quick
00:57:12.900
Obviously you understand what she's saying here
00:57:39.900
Yeah, that's what they would say the difference is
00:57:48.900
It's the same thing they did with Sarah Palin back in the day
00:58:04.900
And we're just supposed to forget them the next day
00:58:12.900
But it's only affecting their short-term memory
00:58:17.900
And the next day it's like they never said that
00:58:21.900
It's on the back of something that I saw the other day
00:58:39.900
Is pretending they don't understand what's happening
00:58:53.900
That means that they're trying to kill the person
00:58:57.900
Well, you know that's not what that means, right?
00:59:11.900
And you're trying to act as if you have more knowledge about a situation
00:59:15.900
They're constantly acting as if they have less knowledge
00:59:22.900
They don't understand what any of these things are
00:59:26.900
What? People use the word target to talk about districts?
00:59:41.900
I want the cut of Kamala talking about the ballroom
00:59:54.900
And the next they're just watching you throw it from the shade
00:59:59.900
And they're like, nah, I think I'm done with that
01:00:02.900
But the truth is something is missing in most dogs
01:00:07.900
You know, kibble food or any kind of processed food
01:00:34.900
Give them something that helps them feel that way as well
01:00:37.900
Because they may be aging faster than you think
01:01:16.900
And see if this isn't exactly what you're talking about, Stu
01:01:22.900
This guy wants to create a ballroom for his rich friends
01:01:26.900
While completely turning a blind eye to the fact that
01:01:30.900
That babies are gonna starve when the SNAP benefits end
01:01:52.900
So they're pretending they don't understand the ballroom thing
01:03:22.900
I get that you think we should be talking about something
01:03:26.900
Whatever the thing is that you think is the most important thing in the world
01:03:30.900
You think all other people should not only share your view about it
01:03:44.900
Tonight the Toronto Blue Jays play game six of the World Series
01:03:50.900
It kills him not to be talking about that the whole time
01:03:54.900
And yet I have to get, every time you talk to somebody else
01:04:01.900
You need to, you know, excommunicate this individual
01:04:07.900
Just note that, you know, maybe your life and the thoughts going on in your head
01:04:13.900
Aren't supposed to be applied to everyone else in the world
01:04:15.900
And you know what's crazy is we literally pray every day before this show
01:04:23.900
I pray all the time when I'm preparing the show
01:04:30.900
Show me what I should be talking about that will be useful
01:04:33.900
And how many times have you tuned in and went, well, that's not useful
01:05:00.900
It makes simple things like bending down to pick up a grandchild
01:05:12.900
But there is something that actually goes after the source
01:05:19.900
Relief Factor is a daily supplement created by doctors
01:05:22.900
To help your body reduce the inflammation naturally
01:05:29.900
Millions of people have found that it helps them to get their life back
01:05:45.900
And moving me just to the left or to the right a little bit
01:05:49.900
You can give their three week quick start a try now
01:06:26.900
There is some really disturbing things that are happening in the Sudan
01:06:40.900
You can see the blood on the streets from satellite images
01:06:50.900
I mean just row after row after row of dead bodies
01:07:00.900
Can we go to the footage here of what's happening
01:07:02.900
With the protests in front of Columbia University
01:07:57.900
Okay, if she doesn't call in the next couple of minutes
01:07:59.900
Or we can't get a hold of her next couple of minutes
01:08:02.900
I have this author of this unbelievable article
01:08:22.900
One of the most notorious sex trafficking districts in America
01:08:25.900
And this reporter for the Times wrote this story
01:08:40.900
And because Gavin Newsom and the lefties in California
01:09:00.900
This couple that believes in this because of spirituality
01:09:17.900
Can anyone rescue the trafficked girls of LA's Figueroa Street?
01:09:30.900
To underage girls that are being forced into sex slavery
01:10:03.900
Troubling details are emerging in the federal case involving a local doctor
01:10:07.900
Jumana Nagrawala is accused of performing an illegal medical procedure on young girls
01:10:12.900
The procedure, referred to by prosecutors as female genital mutilation
01:10:20.900
And now the man whose name is on the front of that clinic
01:10:25.900
The charges are disturbing that the doctor allegedly conspired with
01:10:28.900
Respected Henry Ford emergency room doctor Jumana Nagrawala
01:10:34.900
Where female genital mutilation is against state law
01:10:39.900
Where there is not a state law in the books against the practice here in Michigan
01:10:43.900
The FBI alleges that the girls' genitals were cut by Nagrawala with Attar and his wife assisting
01:10:49.900
The lawyer for Dr. Nagrawala says only skin was removed in what he calls a Shia Muslim religious practice
01:10:56.900
Federal investigators say two seven year olds suffered pain cuts and scarring from the procedure
01:11:01.900
Recognized by the World Health Organization as a human rights violation
01:11:13.900
Michigan does not have female genital mutilation on the books
01:11:28.900
Have you noticed though the problems are all kind of stemming from the same place?
01:11:37.900
It is stemming from those who will embrace Sharia law lovers to get their way to destroy the way
01:11:47.900
They just happen to be playing on useful idiots
01:12:03.900
I thought Donald Trump was the source of all racism
01:12:10.900
How come our politicians are saying exactly the same things
01:12:28.900
That's happening because they have duped people
01:12:39.900
So we can't fight and see what the real problem is
01:12:46.900
We have politicians that are actually working against the nation and the West
01:12:55.900
They are intentionally trying to reset our nation
01:13:01.900
They're intentionally trying to destroy the West
01:13:09.900
Like they're going to be able to bring all of these 20 somethings
01:13:18.900
You know then we'll take care of these these Sharia law lovers
01:13:29.900
I put this on the chalkboard every day for two years
01:13:52.900
You're looking for young people who have passion right?
01:13:57.900
Is it that they agree with them on a lot of stuff?
01:14:11.900
Maybe lose their house lose their job lose everything
01:14:16.900
They have never experienced an America that we lived in
01:14:20.900
They've only seen this corrupt cronyist you know cronyism kind of capitalism their whole life
01:14:26.900
And then they've been told in every class they've ever attended that America is a bad place
01:14:31.900
They don't have any idea legitimately don't have any idea of who America really is
01:14:37.900
They've only been given this cooked book about how bad America is
01:14:43.900
And then they've seen it and they've witnessed it themselves
01:14:46.900
They've seen what's what's going on with the banks and the bailouts and everything else
01:14:50.900
And but they've played by rules and their parents they think their parents you know are dupes in some ways
01:14:56.900
They think their parents were foolish because they just kept sticking it out
01:15:02.900
That you can't see this whole system is corrupt
01:15:05.900
No, it's it is corrupt honey, but it's not fully corrupt
01:15:08.900
The ideas are good, but they don't even understand the ideas
01:15:11.900
And so they grew up with all of this corruption
01:15:14.900
They had mom and dad played by the rules then they went to college
01:15:18.900
Because that's what they were told get a college degree and everything's gonna be fine
01:15:22.900
And now they're out of college and they can't find a job because that was a lie too
01:15:33.900
They knew they knew just like we knew this is not serving them
01:15:37.900
Not everybody should go to college not everybody should be in Ivy League colleges what
01:15:45.900
So they get out they played by the rule now they can't get any jobs they see their money just disappearing
01:15:51.900
They see the people up at the top just getting richer and richer and richer
01:15:55.900
And they're like, you know what this system doesn't work. I I can relate to that. I think that's what I would believe
01:16:05.900
I think I would be really vulnerable to that argument
01:16:11.900
Because they don't know anything that you know, they just don't know the things that we know inherently because we lived it before
01:16:19.900
We've seen this country operate in the right ways
01:16:27.900
Like this idea that everything's so terrible like that you know, I don't know there's no connection to what terrible actually
01:16:37.900
There's not it can get a lot worse, you know, and I think a lot of people
01:16:41.900
There's a lot of this, you know burn it all down because you know we we this isn't working
01:16:48.900
Talk and you know, it's the same people we talked about this earlier. Oh, there's gonna be a civil war
01:16:55.900
It's like oh, you know, I know these these terms sound
01:17:01.900
They're they're they're terms that like get people tweeting and they you know, it gets people clicking
01:17:07.900
But like I you know, you don't want that if there's a civil war you will pine for the worst days of any administration that you hate
01:17:18.900
It changes everything and people don't know that they've never had struggle
01:17:22.900
They don't have an education a real education of what it is. They don't know what communism is
01:17:28.900
They've only heard that communism is neat and they look at these things as okay
01:17:33.900
Well, I don't really know why it failed or even when it was tried because they don't teach it that way
01:17:40.800
They teach it was never tried really the right way, but we can do it this time and they don't well
01:17:45.500
They were not taught that that's what they say every time every single time so they don't know these things
01:17:52.080
And so they hear you know what this doesn't work. They they feel inherently this doesn't work
01:17:57.280
Well, I agree with you this the way we're doing it doesn't work, but we're not doing the constitution and it works
01:18:03.260
It works. It's just could be working a lot better a lot better. It's ugly the way it's working
01:18:09.120
What's fascinating is a lot of the people who say this isn't working. We need to burn down this system
01:18:24.180
Yeah, and if you want to come up with a real historical example of what that real struggle looks like
01:18:31.140
It's under all of the systems they want to implement. Yes, right like go back and look at what communism
01:18:41.440
Go back and look at the holodomor go back and look at the real struggles look at cuba today
01:18:47.620
China China you want to live like that you want north korea you can have it
01:18:53.100
And I suppose you can implement a system like that if you really want to now
01:18:57.500
Of course, they might not let you into north korea to experience the glories of pyongyang for yourself
01:19:04.500
Exactly, but you don't trust me you don't want to implement the things you want to implement
01:19:12.120
More than miserable half of them will not even be able to feed themselves under these systems
01:19:20.380
It's just so simple to sit back and and uh, and say these things
01:19:26.000
And of course our you know the the the world that we're in right with social media and all these other things
01:19:33.640
Simple dumb passionate exactly right and right now everything is mcdonald's speed
01:19:39.820
And I want it right now and I want an explanation right now
01:19:47.960
You know these people who are saying that we should um, you know, we got to get off the these nations off of the teat of uncle sam
01:19:56.940
That we got to stop doing all these foreign wars and everything else. I 100% agree with you
01:20:01.980
But you don't stop something that has been in play for 120 years
01:20:09.220
He's been working on this for nine months. Look at the progress he's made in nine months
01:20:13.860
Imagine what it'll be in four years. Imagine what it could be in eight years
01:20:18.840
But we're making progress and you know, just because we're still engaged in some of these things. Yes
01:20:26.140
Look at how much progress has been made on that front in the last
01:20:34.880
But we don't have any perspective and that's the that's the problem because we we've lost gratitude on almost everything
01:20:44.160
You know, you don't think much about your gutters until the day you have to rain's pouring down water spilling over the edge and you're out
01:20:50.080
There on a ladder trying to fix it in the middle of a storm and that's when you realize this is insane
01:20:54.500
It's insane. How how come we don't have a gutter that just you know, doesn't clog up that doesn't have you know
01:21:00.460
It isn't a storage but isn't a natural leaf and nut and squirrel catcher

Here's a friendly tip always drink upstream of the herd
01:22:09.780
Last night we're in Chicago today. Well, I think I heart for putting us up in their studios today
01:22:34.740
I'm in Chicago because last night was a radio hall of fame induction ceremony and
01:22:42.660
Julie Talbot. She is she runs premier. She is responsible for much of the success of this
01:22:51.860
Executives I've ever worked with she's awesome. She is truly awesome and belongs in the hall of fame
01:23:02.380
There were some really amazing people that were inducted last night
01:23:19.600
Yeah, really good and then the Birmingham radio legend
01:23:22.840
Shelly Stewart. He's 91 years old. He was around, you know during civil rights and he talked about how much he loves America and don't tear it down how great it is
01:23:33.080
It was really a powerful evening at the radio hall of fame
01:23:35.720
So excited we have andrew clavin on in a minute one of my favorite people on earth
01:23:40.120
Uh, we're gonna talk to him in just a second first a preborn every day in america
01:23:44.680
Thousands of women face the most difficult decision of their life and far too many face it alone fear pressure and uncertainty
01:23:51.080
Can drown out hope leaving these women in despair and often leading them to choosing death for their unborn child over life
01:23:57.540
They don't need lectures. They don't need people yelling at them preborn stands in that gap
01:24:02.620
They offer compassion and truth and real help when it matters most
01:24:06.340
Preborn partners with clinics all across the country to provide free ultrasounds to expectant moms
01:24:11.640
Because when a mom sees her baby and hears the heartbeat watches that little life move
01:24:15.900
Something changes inside of her and she is much more likely to choose life
01:24:20.960
But then there's some other obstacles like I can't afford it. I don't know what to do
01:24:24.240
I do I can't afford diapers whatever it is. It's usually something really
01:24:28.220
meaningless in the big thing of things the big picture, but
01:24:32.460
It stops them. That's what preborn does. It helps there
01:24:36.780
It's not a time for silence. It's a time for courage time for truth and a time for life

01:25:26.280
Down the road where shadows hide, feel the dark on every side.
01:25:48.940
You know, once in a while you'll say, when I grow up, I want to be just like, and for me, when I grow up, I want to be just like Andrew Klaben.
01:25:56.360
He is one of my favorite people, I think, just based on his children.
01:26:03.360
He's really, really, really smart, constantly looking for the truth, and he's one of the best fiction writers around today.
01:26:12.480
He's been nominated, I don't even know, four or five times and won a lot of them for the Edgar Award, the Edgar Allan Poe.
01:26:21.280
I think it's named after Edgar Allan Poe, which is so appropriate for today, being Halloween.
01:26:28.900
It is, let's see, After That Dark, that's not the name of it, is it?
01:26:42.520
He has written True Crime, which turned into a movie with Clint Eastwood.
01:26:46.980
Don't Say a Word, which was in a movie with Michael Douglas, Empire of Lies.
01:26:51.760
He is great and a great guest, and we're going to talk to him next in 60 seconds.
01:27:00.500
You know, the one bill that feels like a necessary evil is the phone bill.
01:27:04.100

01:27:07.760
But you have, you've known now probably for a while that that money, especially if you're paying for Verizon,
01:27:14.200
that money is going to help pay for abortions and Planned Parenthood.

I have to tell you that behind your back, I was talking to Steve Deese about you yesterday,
01:28:28.900
and we were saying that you are the only major conservative voice that actually loves fiction.
01:28:36.980
You know, when we come on, when we talk to you, we feel like,
01:28:40.200
oh, at least here's somebody who actually reads and appreciates the art.
01:28:43.900
So when you were giving a big appreciation behind your back.
01:28:48.620
It's, um, it's really, I was wondering, I wanted to ask you this off the air because I didn't know if anybody would be interested,
01:28:54.720
but I'm going to ask you now because you kind of brought it up.
01:29:01.940
And I mean, it used to be, you know, you could have millions sold.
01:29:06.740
And then, you know, having a 1 million or a 2 million, uh, sales book became harder and harder.
01:29:14.340
Now I would imagine a book that sells a million copies is a wild out of control bestseller.
01:29:26.000
It's, it's crazy businesses has, yeah, the reading has gone down and the business has been,
01:29:31.880
is so feminized that, you know, writing books, men hardly read novels at all anymore.
01:29:40.240
I'm not alone, but I'm one of the last remaining guys who writes books for men and women.
01:29:45.140
You know, they have love stories in them, but they're action books and they're full of,
01:29:48.320
full of the questions that men are thinking about.
01:29:50.460
And like, it's just really tough to get that out there.
01:29:53.700
And they are, they also, you know, they blacklist white men.
01:29:56.900
And, uh, my, my editor, Otto Penzler, who is probably the major, uh, figure in the 20th
01:30:03.580
century for mystery publishing, uh, he's been, he's been canceled at things because they say
01:30:13.940
I know I, I got out of my relationship with, uh, Simon and Schuster because it, it got so
01:30:19.200
crazy just on, just on nonfiction books, you know, you got to really take this angle.
01:30:30.420
Um, you know, yeah, I mean, that's why they hire you.
01:30:36.180
They're paying you to give you your vision and then they want to make sure that your,
01:30:48.100
This is after that, the dark, I'm going to tell you, Glenn, absolutely.
01:30:51.360
Honestly, this is one of the best books I ever wrote.
01:30:56.280
It's about this, this guy, Cameron winter, who's been trying to escape his past as a
01:31:06.940
Or do I have to, yes, this is, this book has all, all of the things, all of the themes
01:31:14.000
And, uh, he, he meets this girl that he's really falling for and they go out on a first
01:31:19.080
date and she tells him, she, she knows he likes kind of odd murders and she tells him
01:31:23.500
a true story about a murder in a locked room of classic locker room mystery.
01:31:27.700
And he just to impress her, he tries to solve the murder and he opens up this absolute hornet's
01:31:35.520
So he's, this guy is trying to escape being an assassin, but he finds it he's going to
01:31:38.740
have to kill some people to get out of this alive.
01:31:41.060
And it's, uh, you know, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, can I ask, you know, in the locked
01:31:45.400
room, it's an institution, a padded, a padded, it does feel a little inspired by Jeffrey
01:31:53.220
Epstein is always on a good crime writer's mind.
01:32:00.080
I will tell you a little bit, a little bit, is that just a coincidence?
01:32:06.640
No, there are all kinds of, uh, Epsteinian themes in the book.
01:32:10.300
I have to say because of the, uh, there's a lot of, a lot of dark stuff going on behind
01:32:16.240
Uh, so, um, you also have, you know, the billionaire that is played also has a, again,
01:32:23.220
I'm sure, because I'm sure it says at the very beginning, any, anything that would make
01:32:28.800
you think this billionaire was like George Soros, that's on you.
01:32:43.300
I give you these books and you just turn them into these horrible conspiracies.
01:32:46.960
I know, I know, I know how horrible of me, just horrible.
01:32:56.460
Cause I'm really, I'm really bothered by, you know, I saw a poll.
01:33:02.040
It was, uh, the stat was, was it 58, 58% of Americans have a sixth grade level, uh, reading
01:33:23.520
And they're shutting down, uh, schools for gifted kids and the school.
01:33:28.400
And I have to tell you the way they treat poor people, black people, people in, in underserved
01:33:38.100
I mean, my, my daughter taught in one of the worst schools in the country for a couple of
01:33:41.740
years, and she had to close the door in order to teach kids values, because if they caught
01:33:46.840
her teaching kids good values, they would tell her she was doing something terribly wrong.
01:33:54.860
The things that they withhold from underprivileged children and the fact that they shut down these
01:34:00.480
schools as they did during, um, COVID and, and the teachers union just ruled the party
01:34:06.780
and ruled the country there for a couple of years.
01:34:09.940
Um, um, Weingarten said that she was for the opening of schools.
01:34:29.960
If anything expands your soul, if that is a possible thing, it's reading.
01:34:34.260
And I think, I think reading fiction, you know, approaching the arts, I think the arts
01:34:41.460
I'd like, I mean, just, just being able to understand the culture that you're in good
01:34:48.200
It helps you understand human nature and to take that away from kids and to take it away
01:34:56.480
I remember at lunchtime, my fourth grade teacher read, um, you could stay in for lunch
01:35:02.200
and she would read, uh, Little House on the Prairie and, uh, she was a great reader and
01:35:14.320
Uh, and you know, I read, you know, books back then, especially, you know, written, you
01:35:20.460
know, prior to the modern age, they were, they were written to be read out loud, especially
01:35:30.460
And I think Mark Twain too, if you had a great reader, a great storyteller in your family
01:35:35.640
that, and you had access to these books, you had television, you had movies.
01:35:40.420
It would come to life when you would read these things.
01:35:46.380
Nobody is, nobody is reading to their children out loud and really taking them for adventures.
01:35:52.820
You know, I, when I was in sixth grade, we had to memorize a poem and I memorized the
01:36:01.500
And I have to say, having that poem in my head and having other poems in my head, I have
01:36:12.000
It's like having somebody in, you know, in the dark of night, there's something you
01:36:14.700
can always think, go to is like connecting with another soul.
01:36:20.440
Like you were talking about teachers who introduced things to you.
01:36:23.240
I remember this teacher who introduced us the first scene from Macbeth with the witches
01:36:28.020
and all this stuff, which is telling Macbeth that he was going to be King.
01:36:32.060
So he thought, well, maybe I have to murder the King to be King.
01:36:37.300
You know, and I've been, I've been a Shakespeare lover all my life and that was in third grade.
01:36:43.340
And it's just a terrible thing to be deprived of.
01:36:46.140
And I think for some people, I think for the, for people who are past childhood, I think
01:36:50.880
the internet gets in the way, you know, I think the phones that drop, draw you into
01:36:55.280
these little bursts of information without drawing you into real stories and real life.
01:37:01.100
You know, I, I became friends with Orson Welles daughter and you know, cause I collect, I have
01:37:09.080
a lot of his, I have his original war of the world script.
01:37:11.660
I have all of his original scripts, you know, with his hand annotated, you know, scripts
01:37:17.040
from everything from Citizen Kane to, you know, all of it.
01:37:20.820
Um, and we were talking one time, his daughter and I, and she said, you know, I didn't realize
01:37:30.660
And she said, he was my best friend and we did everything together.
01:37:39.120
Now imagine being homeschooled by Orson Welles.
01:37:47.360
But anyway, she said, you want to know how I learned Shakespeare?
01:37:52.460
And she said, Friday came and my dad said, be ready Monday morning.
01:38:01.040
Um, and be ready to, you know, bring a, bring a jacket.
01:38:06.780
And she said, uh, he came into my room and said, come on, let's go on Monday morning.
01:38:12.060
He had packed a picnic basket, brought a blanket.
01:38:19.060
And my dad pulled up to this old castle and he stood, he stood, uh, with the castle as
01:38:28.940
And he laid the blanket down and I sat down and he stood up with the backdrop of the castle.
01:38:48.100
And he's, you know, he, he made a film, he made a film of a fellow that has been pieced
01:38:55.160
That's one of the best Shakespeare films ever made.
01:39:01.660
You know, you know, you want to take that collection.
01:39:05.380
You want to do for the 250th birthday of America.
01:39:11.100
Like they didn't the last time I think it was 200.
01:39:13.760
They did a train that went across the country carrying memorabilia.
01:39:25.720
I was involved in the beginning and I don't know what, where the ending is, but we talked
01:39:29.040
about doing something with trucks, with the white house.
01:39:31.840
Um, and I, the last I heard, we were going to be taking it on buses or trucks around the
01:39:40.000
I don't know if that's, I don't know if that's happening still or not.
01:39:43.140
Um, but we are going to be, we're going to be doing a lot of, a lot of stuff with it.
01:39:47.260
Cause it's, it's, uh, you know, I thought about the train, you know, 1976, you know, isn't it
01:39:53.300
Do you remember the bicentennial logo, you know, the star, the red, white, the logo?
01:40:01.720
And I thought, I remember this being everywhere.
01:40:05.420
I remember it being, you know, 1776, 1976 on our coins, everything here.
01:40:11.860
We are at, at two 50 and there's nothing, you're not even talking about anything.
01:40:19.600
There's nothing coming from our government and it's like pulling teeth.
01:40:24.040
I mean, Trump is doing something, but the government, it, they're not doing anything.
01:40:31.600
And, and, you know, I mean, it has been one of the things that I love about Trump is the
01:40:36.000
fact that he does care, you know, about the culture, about the arts, about fiction and
01:40:41.320
Speaking over, uh, the Kennedy center, which I think is great.
01:40:44.340
People are protesting it and all that stuff, but it's, no, this, these are great things
01:40:48.100
because, because we've lost it to this little group of people who feel like entitled to how
01:40:54.020
hound artists, uh, out of the, you know, we're talking about the publishing industry.
01:40:57.560
That's just leftism, leftist hounding artists out of the square because they don't like their
01:41:05.940
You know, people who write novels that actually have a vision that, that other people can agree
01:41:10.340
with and is not imposing this nonsense on them.
01:41:16.000
You know, we were talking, um, a few weeks ago, I think off the air, I don't think we shared
01:41:19.940
this on the air, but, um, back in 2010, I think I did something at the, uh, I rented
01:41:26.180
out the, the, uh, Kennedy center and I was doing a night at the Kennedy center and I said,
01:41:35.140
And I asked them if they had one, assuming it's Washington DC, of course they have a backdrop
01:41:45.700
Oh, and they said the American flag, when I put the flag on the stage, I was told by
01:41:51.120
the Kennedy center, this is the first time the American flag has ever been on stage at
01:42:07.420
And he's the only, the only president who ever thought that maybe this could be changed.
01:42:11.780
You know, it ever, the only time it ever occurred to anybody that we don't have to live like
01:42:16.160
We don't have to live with this little small sliver of the population who hate our country,
01:42:21.080
who hate our values, dictating everything that we see and do.
01:42:25.680
And I think that the Republicans have a lot to answer for, for the 50 years in which they
01:42:31.560
They shrugged off the news media that, you know, was all on one side.
01:42:36.860
And I think that that's, you know, that's kind of what's brought us here.
01:42:39.480
I think we're in this really weird moment when the culture has, has flatlined because
01:42:46.460
of these crazy, woke ideas, which basically call evil, good and good, evil.
01:42:52.920
And I would really like it if conservatives and people of traditional mind, you know,
01:42:56.940
it sort of get involved and sort of say, yeah, you know, I want to, I want to do this.
01:43:00.600
I want to make sure that our culture doesn't fall like this again, because it's, it's so
01:43:21.720
Andrew Klavan, as always, my friend, it is good to talk to you.
01:43:26.820
And by the way, he said his favorite is The Raven.
01:43:30.640
It's Halloween and I always do an Edgar Allan Poe.
01:43:33.820
And so we're going to do The Raven in just a few minutes.
01:43:37.340
If you've never heard it or you've never heard it read correctly, you don't want to miss it.
01:43:44.500
Chapter, if you're on Medicare or if you know somebody who is going to be on Medicare soon, if maybe your parents are getting on, you know, this is the time of the year that it changes every year.
01:44:02.500
They're the only ones that can search all of the plans.
01:44:15.540
Their parents started saying, I can't get my doctor.
01:44:20.640
And they're like, wait, but this was the wrong plan for you.
01:44:23.820
They decided they didn't want this to happen to anybody else's family.
01:44:29.080
If you're on Medicare or soon will be, please reach out to Chapter.
01:45:01.100
You know, it's weird how we just get this knuckle-dragging, Neanderthal, you know, image that if you're a conservative, you have no idea what the arts are.
01:45:18.760
The reason why we don't need to be funding them at the government level, and I would argue I don't want any of that to happen.
01:45:29.100
They go into their, they make it their lives work.
01:45:32.100
It would not need to be funded by anything if you would stop jamming agendas down people's throats.
01:45:37.920
I mean, when is Broadway going to figure this out?
01:45:42.980
Everything that they're doing, all of the revivals that they're doing that are old that don't have this agenda, they're running and running and running and they're great.
01:45:51.360
All of the new stuff that is full of agenda, it closes within a year.
01:46:24.720
Buying or selling a home is not just a transaction.
01:46:29.840
You know, maybe you're starting fresh in a new city, moving closer to family, or just ready to upgrade after years of hard work.
01:46:35.320
But in a world full of empty promises and pushy sales tactics, how do you find somebody that you actually trust with one of the biggest decisions of your life?
01:46:44.940
And that's why my brother and I started years ago.
01:46:48.960
We have now done billions of dollars in transactions for real estate, for real estate transactions.
01:46:54.800
And just help match people with the right real estate agent.
01:46:59.960
We went and we started with the 500 best real estate agents, according to the Wall Street Journal.
01:47:10.420
And then we went and we started to find people that live those values and those principles and understand.
01:47:15.800
And all of the best real estate agents have the same thing in common.
01:47:19.600
It's not that hard, but you just have to know how to find it.
01:47:23.700
We have found these people, and we will recommend them to you for free.
01:47:28.620
If you're looking to buy or sell a house, whether it's across the street or across the country,
01:47:32.840
please just at least interview the real estate agent you'll find at realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:48:09.520
One young man's logic misguided through the onslaught of insanity.
01:48:14.400
His name remains unspoken, but his crime is unforgettable.
01:48:26.380
Very, very dreadfully nervous, I admit, and am.
01:48:33.940
The disease sharpened my senses, not destroyed.
01:48:56.420
Hearken and observe how healthily, how calmly, I can tell you the whole story.
01:49:02.960
It's impossible to say how the first idea entered my brain, but once conceived, it haunted
01:49:16.780
He had never wronged me, had never given me insult.
01:49:27.360
He had an eye of a vulture, a pale blue eye with film over it.
01:49:34.160
Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold, and so, by degrees, very gradually, I made
01:49:41.820
up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever.
01:49:57.060
You should have seen how wisely I proceeded, with what caution, with what foresight, with
01:50:04.260
I was never kinder to the old man than during the whole week before I killed him.
01:50:09.180
And every night, about midnight, I turned the latch of his door and opened it all so gently.
01:50:17.220
And then, when I had made an opening sufficient for my head, I put in a lantern, dark, all
01:50:31.280
Oh, you would have laughed to see how cunningly I thrust it in.
01:50:35.000
I moved it in slowly, very, very slowly, so I may not disturb the old man's sleep.
01:50:41.620
Oh, it took me an hour to place my whole head within the opening, so far that I could see
01:50:51.480
Would a madman have done something as wise as this?
01:50:54.340
And then, when my head was well within the room, I undid the lantern cautiously, oh, so
01:50:59.840
cautiously, cautiously, for the hinges creaked.
01:51:03.340
But, I did it just so much that a single thin ray fell upon the vulture eye.
01:51:12.140
And this, I did for seven long nights, every night just at midnight.
01:51:20.120
But I found the eye always closed, so it was impossible to do the work.
01:51:25.940
I was not the old man who vexed me, but his evil eye.
01:51:29.560
And, every morning when the day broke, I went boldly into the chamber and spoke courageously
01:51:36.000
to him, calling him by name in a hearty tone, and inquiring how he had passed the night.
01:51:41.140
So, you see, he would have been a very profound old man indeed to suspect that every night,
01:51:46.920
just at twelve, I looked in on him while he slept.
01:51:53.440
Upon the eighth night, I was more than usually cautious in opening the door.
01:51:58.460
A watch's minute hand moves more quickly than did mine.
01:52:03.480
Never before that night had I felt the extent of my own powers, of my sagacity.
01:52:10.380
I could scarcely contain my feelings of triumph.
01:52:13.960
To think that I was there, opening the door little by little,
01:52:18.420
and he not even dream of my secret deeds or thoughts.
01:52:22.480
I fairly chuckled at the idea, and perhaps he heard me,
01:52:25.320
for he moved on the bed suddenly as if starting.
01:52:34.620
His room was black as pitch with thick darkness,
01:52:37.840
for the shutters were closed and fastened through the fear of robbers.
01:52:40.980
And so I knew he could not see the opening of the door, and I kept pushing it on.
01:52:53.080
I was about to open the lantern when my thumb slipped upon the tin fastening,
01:52:57.560
and the old man sprang up in the bed, crying out,
01:53:09.820
And in the meantime, I did not hear him lie down.
01:53:13.060
He was still sitting up in bed, listening, just as I had done night after night,
01:53:33.940
It was the low, stifled sound that arises from the bottom of the soul when overcharged with awe.
01:53:44.360
Many a night, just at midnight, when all the world slept,
01:53:48.420
it had welled up from my own bosom, deepening with a dreadful echo.
01:53:53.020
The terrors that distracted me, oh, I say I knew it well.
01:54:00.460
Although I chuckled at heart, I knew that he had been laying awake
01:54:04.440
ever since the first slight noise when he turned in the bed.
01:54:09.800
His fears had been ever since growing upon him.
01:54:12.980
He had been trying to fancy them causeless, but could not.
01:54:16.020
He had been saying to himself, it's nothing but the wind in the chimney.
01:54:19.620
It's only a mouse crossing the floor, or it's merely a cricket who's made a single chirp.
01:54:26.160
Oh yes, he had been trying to comfort himself with these suppositions,
01:54:44.260
And it was the mournful influence of the unperceived shadow
01:54:54.720
to feel the presence of my head within the room.
01:55:08.920
I resolved to open a little, a very, very little crevice in the lantern.
01:55:16.900
Oh, you cannot imagine how stealthily, stealthily,
01:55:27.500
shot from the crevice and fell upon the vulture eye.
01:55:48.500
But I could see nothing else of the old man's face or person,
01:55:51.060
for I directed the ray as if by instinct precisely upon the damned spot.
01:55:57.040
And have I not told you that what you mistake for madness
01:56:04.760
Now, I say, there came to my ears a low, dull, quick sound,
01:56:10.000
such as a watch makes when enveloped in cotton.
01:56:37.120
I tried how steadily I could maintain the ray upon the eye.
01:56:41.940
Meantime, the hellish tattoo of the heart increased.
01:56:46.980
It grew quicker and quicker and louder and louder every instant.
01:57:02.420
And now, at the dead hour of night, amid the dreadful silence of that old house,
01:57:14.980
so strange a noise as this excited me to uncontrollable terror,
01:57:23.500
It stood still, but the beating grew louder and louder.
01:57:28.100
I thought his heart must burst, and then a new anxiety seized me.
01:57:37.720
With a loud yell, I threw open the lantern and leaped into the room.
01:57:46.580
In an instant, I dragged him to the floor and pulled the heavy bed over him.
01:57:51.420
Then I smiled gaily to find the deed so far done.
01:57:55.120
But for many minutes, his heart beat on with a muffled sound.
01:58:46.440
If you still think me mad, you will think so no longer when I describe the wise precautions
01:59:04.680
Then, I took up three planks from the flooring of the chamber and deposited all between the
01:59:11.200
Then, I replaced the board so cleverly, so cunningly that no human eye, not even his,
01:59:36.020
When I had made an end of these labors, it was four o'clock.
01:59:44.240
As the bell sounded the hour, there came a knocking at the street door.
01:59:48.000
I went down to open it with a light heart, for what now do I have to fear?
01:59:53.760
There entered three men who introduced themselves with perfect suavity as officers of the police.
02:00:00.060
A shriek had been heard by a neighbor during the night.
02:00:05.580
Information had been lodged at the police office.
02:00:07.880
And they, the officers, had been deputed to search the premises.
02:00:16.440
The old man, I mentioned, was absent in the country.
02:00:29.400
I showed them his treasures, secure, undisturbed.
02:00:32.840
In the enthusiasm of my confidence, I brought chairs into the room
02:00:36.820
and desired them here to rest from your fatigues.
02:00:40.660
While I myself, in the wild audacity of my perfect triumph,
02:00:45.620
placed my own seat upon the very spot beneath which reposed the corpse of the victim.
02:01:07.000
But, ere long, I felt myself getting paled and wished them gone.
02:01:26.820
I talked more freely to get rid of the feeling, but it continued and gained definitiveness
02:01:32.800
until, at length, I found that the noise was not within my ears.
02:01:38.440
Now, no doubt I grew very pale, but I talked more frequently and with a heightened voice.
02:01:50.220
Much such a sound as a watch makes when enveloped in cotton.
02:01:55.140
I gasped for a breath, and yet the officers heard it not.
02:02:00.160
I talked more quickly, more vehemently, but the noise steadily increased.
02:02:04.080
I arose and argued about trifles, a high key with violent gesticulations,
02:02:12.320
I paced the floor to and fro with heavy strides,
02:02:15.540
as if excited to fury by the observations of the men.
02:02:25.160
I swung the chair in which I had been sitting and grated it across the boards.
02:02:29.320
But the noise arose over all and continually increased.
02:02:36.000
And still, the men chatted pleasantly and smiled.
02:02:53.120
Anything was more tolerable than this derision.
02:02:55.840
I could bear those hypocritical smiles no longer.
02:03:00.560
And now, again, hark, hark, louder and louder and louder.
02:03:26.720
