The Glenn Beck Program - WHY Are Air Marshals Following an INFANT Instead of Protecting Flights？! ｜ Guests： Lt. Col. Peter Lerner & Sonya Hightower-LaBosco ｜ 11⧸30⧸23

00:00:00.000 I said just the other day, don't send your kids to college.

00:00:03.300 What are you doing?

00:00:03.980 What are you doing?

00:00:05.600 What did you learn in college?

00:00:07.680 Most likely, you found yourself.

00:00:10.260 You found partying.

00:00:11.440 You learned some stuff, but you got a degree, and that worked for the first time.

00:00:15.720 Does it matter, really, for most jobs?

00:00:20.520 You want to learn something and have a profound change on you.

00:00:25.360 You need to learn how to learn.

00:00:27.920 And then you need to know that you're not being indoctrinated.

00:00:31.500 Since 1844, Hillsdale has been providing an education in faith, freedom, and character

00:00:37.040 because they believe a virtuous citizen is the best defense for liberty.

00:00:42.120 They provide more than 40 free, not-for-credit courses, that are self-paced so you can start whenever you want.

00:00:50.640 This is everything you need to change the way you understand our country, our world, and your place in it.

00:00:56.140 I personally, wholeheartedly recommend checking out Constitution 101, the meaning and the history of the U.S. Constitution.

00:01:05.940 Go right now to hillsdale.edu slash glenn.

00:01:10.020 That's hillsdale.edu slash glenn.

00:01:13.140 No cost, easy to get started.

00:01:15.480 hillsdale.edu slash glenn.

00:01:18.060 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:39.520 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:42.820 I have to tell you, I love Elon Musk.

00:01:50.560 Okay?

00:01:51.580 This hour, oh, we're going to play some audio and we're going to discuss Elon Musk.

00:01:56.540 But I want to start on Biden's economic policies.

00:01:59.640 You know, Bidenomics.

00:02:01.820 According to The Guardian, Bidenomics is already delivering for the American people.

00:02:07.260 And Fortune magazine says, Bidenomics is working too well and is souring the Democrats' bourgeoisie base.

00:02:18.120 Really?

00:02:19.200 Is that what's happening?

00:02:21.280 We're going to go into that in 60 seconds.

00:02:24.460 For unto us a child is born.

00:02:26.600 Unto us a son is given.

00:02:28.740 Those are powerful, powerful words.

00:02:31.000 Some of the most powerful ever spoken.

00:02:32.560 And they were spoken at a time and a place where babies were being murdered left and right.

00:02:37.200 And they are words of blessing, words of love.

00:02:40.220 And they remind us that every life on earth, including the unborn, is so special that God sent his only son to become a little baby.

00:02:50.540 Unto us a child is born.

00:02:53.220 For 28 bucks, you can help a mom choose life because that's what an ultrasound costs. 1.00

00:02:58.740 Once she sees and hears the heartbeat of that child, she's twice as likely to choose life.

00:03:05.740 Right now, through a match of Tanya and I, your gift is doubled.

00:03:11.260 So, right now, we didn't meet our goal yesterday.

00:03:15.940 If you would like to donate, I'm matching dollar for dollar for $100,000.

00:03:21.560 And I know there's somebody behind me that will match dollar for dollar after that.

00:03:26.520 But can we do 80 days and nights?

00:03:29.440 Let's finish the first 40 days and 40 nights of sponsoring their entire network 24 hours a day.

00:03:36.880 Dial pound 250.

00:03:38.140 Say the keyword, baby.

00:03:39.140 That's pound 250.

00:03:40.480 Keyword, baby.

00:03:41.640 Preborn.com slash back.

00:03:45.740 Okay.

00:03:46.460 So, let's look at some poll numbers here.

00:03:48.780 First of all, the favorite talking points.

00:03:51.580 Inflation is decreasing.

00:03:53.860 Inflation is decreasing.

00:03:55.220 Gas prices are down.

00:03:57.760 Deficit has decreased.

00:04:00.680 Really?

00:04:01.960 Has it?

00:04:03.560 From when?

00:04:04.780 That's what you have to ask yourself.

00:04:06.120 From when?

00:04:08.260 Here is what people are saying about their situation.

00:04:14.540 98% of Americans say they are not in a better situation economically under Bidenomics.

00:04:20.120 95% say their grocery bills have increased under Bidenomics.

00:04:24.080 97% say their gas and diesel bills have increased under Bidenomics.

00:04:28.420 63% say their mortgage has increased under Bidenomics.

00:04:32.020 98% say utility bills have increased under Bidenomics.

00:04:36.040 64% say they're living paycheck to paycheck.

00:04:39.380 99% say they're not optimistic about the economic future of the country.

00:04:43.960 58% say the American dream is not achievable anymore.

00:04:48.360 84% say the American dream will not be achievable in the near future.

00:04:53.220 97% say Biden administration is waging a war on the middle class.

00:04:58.560 98% say the U.S. is not better off now than when they were a kid.

00:05:02.860 That's how the average person feels.

00:05:06.360 However, last night I went through gaslighting and I showed you the truth on this and I just

00:05:13.900 want to replay the chalkboard segment from last night's episode because Biden had come

00:05:19.840 out and said that this is the, what was he, the third or fourth cheapest Thanksgiving in

00:05:28.420 history.

00:05:29.640 Now, I tried to make sense of that.

00:05:33.220 Listen, even the mainstream media is having trouble covering for this debacle.

00:05:39.940 Bloomberg ran the numbers and they're insane.

00:05:42.780 In fact, I would like to show them on a chalkboard because this is just so sweet.

00:05:49.080 And I think you'll be able to relate on how cheap everything was.

00:05:55.040 The actual cost for an average American this Thanksgiving.

00:06:00.420 Now, this is Joe America.

00:06:02.260 America, he's sitting, I heard from the administration, he's sitting on a pile of cash, pile of it.

00:06:08.900 Okay.

00:06:09.320 He drew the short straw.

00:06:11.200 He has to host the entire family at his house this year.

00:06:14.540 The entire family is flying in, which kind of sucks because Joe had to help out with some

00:06:21.060 of their travel, especially given that the cost of airfare.

00:06:24.800 Remember, he even mentioned airfare.

00:06:27.580 It's the cheapest airfare.

00:06:30.520 It is up this year over 25%.

00:06:36.660 Okay.

00:06:38.960 Well, that's going to be hard.

00:06:40.000 Just everything else must be really cheap.

00:06:42.220 Just offset that.

00:06:43.860 Well, Joe invited everybody out because he was hoping that he was going to be in a brand

00:06:48.180 new house this year, but home values, he kind of had to put that one on the back burner

00:06:54.000 because the price of a house has skyrocketed.

00:06:59.580 The price of a house now is up 42%.

00:07:04.060 So that's double from when Donald Trump was in office.

00:07:08.600 It also doesn't help now that the mortgage rates, your interest on this is now up four

00:07:17.180 percentage points.

00:07:21.600 Okay.

00:07:22.220 So we got that.

00:07:23.400 So Joe was out of luck, so he couldn't get the house.

00:07:28.080 And he's just living in an apartment building.

00:07:30.680 Now he rents an apartment.

00:07:31.580 He's been screwed on that one, too, because that one, his place of occupancy is up 24%.

00:07:41.240 That's just in rent.

00:07:43.160 Adding insult to injury, water bills.

00:07:46.380 He's hoping that he was going to live by a lake so he could just go get a cup of water

00:07:50.860 at night for free when he wants it because now water is 16% higher.

00:07:57.220 And electricity, if he's really lucky, he can get hit by a lightning bolt while he's out there.

00:08:05.620 And then maybe the light bulbs will work just because the electricity is in him because the

00:08:10.260 electricity from the power company is up 25%.

00:08:14.760 Wow.

00:08:16.760 Food must be so cheap just to cover for these increases.

00:08:21.260 But Joe's resilient.

00:08:23.920 He's an American.

00:08:25.080 He takes solace that he doesn't live in California because their electric bill in California is up 51%.

00:08:33.920 Yeah.

00:08:34.660 Let's get Gavin Newsom in here.

00:08:36.480 Now, Joe inspects his kitchen before the big Thanksgiving feast.

00:08:41.160 And he's like, I mean, I got to get a new gas stove.

00:08:44.740 And he had to go buy it.

00:08:46.200 But the problem is all major appliances are up 12%.

00:08:53.100 Oh, and if it's gas, I mean, you got to do what you got to do.

00:08:57.700 But it doesn't help that natural gas now is up 29%.

00:09:04.440 You see how this is the cheapest, fourth cheapest ever?

00:09:09.380 Now, Joe heads to the garage.

00:09:12.120 He inspects his car.

00:09:13.260 He's got to be diligent to keep up his.

00:09:15.320 He's got a really nice car.

00:09:16.800 I mean, it's sure.

00:09:17.800 You might have called it in the old days a jalopy, but that would be gas lighting.

00:09:23.600 He's been diligent to make sure he keeps it in tip shop shape because a major breakdown would be catastrophic.

00:09:30.200 The price to get your car fixed through the roof.

00:09:33.700 But used cars, he wanted a new one.

00:09:35.640 But used cars are now 35% higher.

00:09:44.100 And car insurance, car insurance is only up 33%.

00:09:51.020 Now, Joe also, when he's going to the store, he's got to get some gas for his jalopy.

00:10:00.920 And that's gone from $1.80 before the greatest economy ever to $3 a gallon just a short three years later.

00:10:15.540 OK, so Joe decides, well, I know the turkey, because I heard the president's really cheap.

00:10:22.760 So I'm going to put some gas in the car and I'm going to drive to the grocery store, pick up a turkey.

00:10:28.020 But he's hungry now, you know, don't shop while you're hungry.

00:10:32.560 So he stops by McDonald's.

00:10:34.480 It's not really McDonald's.

00:10:36.020 He sees the logo is a little different because it's a knockoff because McDonald's, the food.

00:10:44.000 Have you seen this?

00:10:45.100 Oh, yeah.

00:10:45.960 I hope you're comfortable spending money on fast food because The Washington Post has just debunked a recent story about a $16 combo meal at McDonald's.

00:10:56.240 Post noted that the meal in question was a novelty item and that the White House confirmed that inflation was, in fact, falling.

00:11:04.800 But Joe soon finds out this was gaslighting because inflation is still in its sane highs.

00:11:11.920 The easing inflation that the Biden boys keep talking about is really just prices growing at a slower pace.

00:11:19.320 But nothing's really changing.

00:11:21.700 Joe orders the Big Mac combo meal.

00:11:23.800 Yeah, price, $10.

00:11:28.840 Big Mac fries at a Coke, $10.

00:11:31.640 And in some places, they are higher.

00:11:34.800 Why?

00:11:35.360 Because since 2020, restaurant food is up 24%.

00:11:41.080 But don't worry, says Joe.

00:11:43.720 I'm going to make it myself.

00:11:45.680 He gets to the grocery store.

00:11:47.320 His bank account is disappearing like Joe Biden at a press conference.

00:11:52.200 Ground beef, which he doesn't need.

00:11:54.480 And a good thing because it's $2 higher than it was.

00:12:01.080 Okay.

00:12:02.460 But I don't need it.

00:12:03.660 Coffee is also $2 higher.

00:12:07.600 So we don't have fruit and vegetables.

00:12:14.640 14% higher.

00:12:18.520 Wow.

00:12:19.580 Dog and cat food.

00:12:20.800 Because he's thinking, I really am looking for that cheap.

00:12:25.000 And so he's like, how about some dog food?

00:12:26.900 I mean, I know it was something that only old people ate when they were completely out of money. 1.00

00:12:32.600 And it was shameful at that point.

00:12:34.840 But now, Alpo and other dog and cat food, that's up 17%.

00:12:40.300 So he can't even get the Alpo.

00:12:43.160 That's a luxury item now.

00:12:45.380 So what's going on?

00:12:46.480 Because in 2020, Joe would spend $238 per week on groceries.

00:12:55.920 Okay.

00:12:57.000 Now, he's spending well over $315 per week.

00:13:04.940 I hate to be Sesame Street, but White House, which number is bigger?

00:13:10.880 Averaged all together, groceries are up 25%.

00:13:17.900 So how exactly does our president say, it's the fourth cheapest?

00:13:26.980 How is that possible?

00:13:29.400 How's that possible?

00:13:32.920 Now, there's a couple of other things that I'd like to bring you up to speed on.

00:13:39.580 But before a break, I want to tell you just this one.

00:13:43.480 Biden has come up with a new way because he's very angry.

00:13:49.180 Very angry.

00:13:50.540 Because it's something called greed.

00:13:56.380 Greedflation, I think is what they've named it.

00:13:58.660 Yeah, greedflation. 0.90

00:14:01.000 It's just corporate America being greedy.

00:14:04.520 And it is time to give the American consumer a break in price gouging.

00:14:10.640 Now, how can it be the cheapest and yet there's price gouging?

00:14:18.040 How's that possible, White House?

00:14:22.580 All right.

00:14:23.220 So I'm going to put this all in perspective here in just a second.

00:14:25.460 First, Rough Greens.

00:14:26.940 Having dogs around your house, around you, makes everything better, I think.

00:14:30.520 It's not like cats.

00:14:32.020 I mean, cats are, let me tell you something.

00:14:34.320 Cats are practically the animal version of Hamas.

00:14:37.140 They are planning to murder you in your sleep all the time.

00:14:42.460 Dogs are glad you're there.

00:14:44.000 Dogs will stop cats.

00:14:45.460 You see what I'm saying?

00:14:46.780 Anyway, if you have a dog, you want your dog to be healthy and happy and give him the best.

00:14:52.260 And I suppose if you're a cat lover, you want that too.

00:14:54.500 But sorry, can't help you out with a cat thing.

00:14:57.340 Here it is.

00:14:58.500 Rough Greens.

00:14:59.140 This was something that came up with by Dr. Dennis Black.

00:15:03.120 He said, just sprinkle this on the food. 0.76

00:15:06.220 If you're feeding your dog kibble food, it has everything they need, including all the probiotics and everything else that is cooked out of the kibble food.

00:15:16.180 Rough Greens.

00:15:16.780 So confident your dog is going to love this.

00:15:18.980 They want you to have the first trial bag for free.

00:15:21.600 All you pay for is shipping.

00:15:23.200 Call 833-GLEN-33.

00:15:25.300 833-G-L-E-N-N-33.

00:15:27.460 It's roughgreens.com slash Beck.

00:15:31.620 10 seconds.

00:15:32.560 Station ID.

00:15:33.100 All right.

00:15:42.420 So here's, have you ever heard of doom scrolling?

00:15:46.460 You know what doom scrolling is, Stu?

00:15:48.920 Sure.

00:15:49.640 Everyone, everyone has probably done it at some point or another.

00:15:53.200 And what is it?

00:15:53.840 Basically, you're just endlessly scrolling your social media feeds, which, by the way, never end by design.

00:16:00.900 And you keep going and going and going and feel an utter sense of doom.

00:16:05.060 Okay, good.

00:16:06.120 Good.

00:16:06.260 So there is now something that is happening in America, and it's happening more with those under 30, but it is called doom spending.

00:16:21.000 And especially those under 30 are saying, you know what?

00:16:26.020 I'm just going to live.

00:16:27.040 I'm going to live in the day.

00:16:28.220 I don't really care what happens tomorrow.

00:16:29.920 And they are just spending and spending and spending and putting it on a credit card.

00:16:34.400 And I think part of this has to do with, look, if the whole world is going to melt down, you know, everybody's going to default anyway.

00:16:41.700 So why do I care?

00:16:44.900 That's really bad.

00:16:46.460 Really bad.

00:16:47.120 Because as we learned in 08, others might get out of their loans and their debts, but you will not.

00:16:59.380 My son, since he was a kid, used to say to me, what difference does this make in school?

00:17:10.300 I'm not learning anything.

00:17:11.720 He likes to learn on his own.

00:17:13.200 And, I mean, he can tell you anything about anything if he's interested in it.

00:17:19.120 And he wasn't interested in a lot of the stuff.

00:17:21.640 I mean, there were a few history teachers that he ended up teaching.

00:17:27.020 And he would say, well, it's no good.

00:17:29.760 What am I doing this for?

00:17:31.760 And I said, you're going through gates that are important in society to go through.

00:17:39.480 You have to have a formal education.

00:17:43.200 You don't want to close doors only for this reason.

00:17:48.700 You could educate yourself, be, you know, out of school, do whatever you want.

00:17:54.900 You can do that at a certain age.

00:17:56.680 You could drop out if you wanted to.

00:17:58.660 I highly recommend against it because it because you did that.

00:18:04.080 It will close certain doors for you.

00:18:06.760 You may never want to go through that door.

00:18:09.200 But you, as a young person, want every door open to you that you can possibly keep open.

00:18:15.520 All right?

00:18:18.320 You've seen your kids close doors.

00:18:20.820 You've seen your kids do things and you're like, well, geez, that didn't.

00:18:23.420 Okay.

00:18:24.340 And then they'll come to you and they'll be like, hey, how come this didn't happen?

00:18:27.740 Or I wanted to do this.

00:18:28.880 And you're like, well, you close the door on it.

00:18:30.680 You didn't do the thing that you needed to do to have that door ability to open that door and walk through it.

00:18:40.460 When you're young, you want to do as many things as you possibly can to keep as many options open to you as possible.

00:18:51.900 Especially when you're young, you're under 30.

00:18:56.640 My career didn't really start.

00:18:58.040 I mean, I started radio when I was 13 years old, but I don't think my career really started until I was 40.

00:19:05.320 I turned 40 and thought, I haven't accomplished anything in my life because I sobered up at 35.

00:19:14.840 Doors were closed.

00:19:16.200 It was hard for me to open doors again.

00:19:19.120 But just because I'm obstinate, I open, I kick the door down.

00:19:25.760 When you put yourself in debt, you close doors.

00:19:31.220 If you default on that debt, you close even more doors for a very long time.

00:19:38.620 Bankruptcy, I mean, I'm sorry, I know I'm preaching to the choir here.

00:19:42.260 But if you know somebody in this situation, and they are doom spending, don't do it.

00:19:51.640 Bankruptcy lasts for seven long years where nobody's going to do anything.

00:19:57.920 I mean, already, if you have just an iffy credit score, you're having a hard time getting loans.

00:20:03.860 Keep all the doors open.

00:20:08.900 Doom spending is a real thing.

00:20:11.240 People feel so depressed.

00:20:14.240 I know I've done it.

00:20:15.520 I've done it.

00:20:16.540 I've done it recently where things were so bad, you know, on certain things that I just went out.

00:20:26.000 And I just went out and shopped.

00:20:30.040 And it didn't make me feel better.

00:20:32.140 I thought it would.

00:20:33.060 Well, it did while I was doing it.

00:20:34.380 I'm like, yeah, it does for a little bit.

00:20:36.380 Yeah, it does for a little bit.

00:20:38.000 And then it's over.

00:20:40.820 And it's just, it's going to lead to real trouble if you're doom spending.

00:20:50.140 Remember, we all survive this.

00:20:54.600 I don't know what the world looks like when we go through it, but we all survive.

00:20:59.960 We're all going to have a life on the other side of this.

00:21:03.000 It does correct itself.

00:21:05.660 The only scenario where doom spending would be maybe okay is if Jesus sent you a telegram and said,

00:21:15.040 I'm coming by the end of the month.

00:21:17.480 So rack up the American Express.

00:21:20.140 Okay, I haven't received that telegram.

00:21:23.680 With an exception of Jesus coming, all of us survive this and are on the other side.

00:21:34.300 Don't doom anything.

00:21:39.900 And don't worry.

00:21:41.060 It's all going to be taken care of, honestly, because Biden is threatening companies now.

00:21:46.200 You know, they better lower prices because inflation is down.

00:21:51.920 It's the cheapest it's ever been.

00:21:53.460 But somehow or another, they've jacked up the price because they're greedy.

00:21:58.700 Huh.

00:21:59.220 I thought everybody felt good about the economy.

00:22:03.900 And it's, of course, important in these times to do good things for your friends.

00:22:07.820 That's why any of these purchases you may have made in the doom buying spree, I will be happy to take off your hands so you don't feel the guilt of what you've done.

00:22:19.140 That's just something that I would do for you.

00:22:21.440 So would you buy that at a, like, a great discount?

00:22:25.860 You know, I would.

00:22:27.040 Although I think the right thing to do for your mental health is just a $0 transfer to me.

00:22:32.800 I don't think, because that would be rewarding you if you were to get money back for it.

00:22:36.440 Right.

00:22:36.560 That's just not right.

00:22:37.240 So I would just be left with the debt.

00:22:40.000 Yeah.

00:22:40.540 And then you take.

00:22:42.460 Right.

00:22:42.480 And the debt is a reminder of to not do that again.

00:22:46.160 A monthly reminder.

00:22:48.580 Other tip.

00:22:49.200 Don't have friends like Stu.

00:22:52.440 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:22:54.240 If you're a gun owner, you know as well as I do that there is nothing quite as satisfying as hitting what you're aiming at.

00:23:01.200 You know, the thing that people really miss, and anybody who ever tries a gun, if they just go for a day and just do an hour of shooting, almost every time they're like, this is fun.

00:23:15.040 It is.

00:23:15.720 It is.

00:23:16.740 You want to be able to have fun and hit the target and everything else.

00:23:19.800 But when it comes to it, you also want to make sure that you are hitting right where you're aiming because it's a huge responsibility.

00:23:29.240 Training now with live ammunition is expensive.

00:23:34.960 If you'd like to save money and keep your skills at the highest, I recommend Mantis X.

00:24:15.340 I got to tell you, I love Elon Musk.

00:24:25.940 I do.

00:24:26.820 I don't know if he's, you know, he could turn out to be some supervillain in the end.

00:24:31.180 I don't know.

00:24:33.100 Stranger things have already happened.

00:24:35.240 So who knows?

00:24:36.700 But this guy is, he's just, he's got so much F-you money.

00:24:45.880 You know, my dad told me, you know, what you really want to do someday is have enough money to just say F-you.

00:24:53.020 What does that mean, Dad?

00:24:56.980 And he was like, people are going to ask you to do things and compromise and everything else.

00:25:01.920 And, you know, you might think when you're younger and you don't have the money, I got to do what I got to do to put food on the table.

00:25:10.020 He said, so get yourself in a situation where you can go, yeah, really?

00:25:15.680 F-you. 0.57

00:25:16.880 This is the real reason why the left hates billionaires. 0.97

00:25:19.780 It's not because of income inequality.

00:25:22.200 They don't care about income inequality at all.

00:25:24.960 What they care about are people that can resist all the pressures that they put on people.

00:25:29.640 And Elon Musk doesn't care.

00:25:30.820 Right. That's why they, that's why they hate billionaires unless they're on their side.

00:25:35.400 You've never heard about income inequality when it comes to George Soros, have you?

00:25:40.560 Okay.

00:25:41.120 So if you're on their side, but he really doesn't care.

00:25:46.020 He really doesn't care.

00:25:47.320 There's a new book out on Elon Musk and it talks about his childhood with his dad just berating him all the time.

00:25:54.140 Yeah.

00:25:54.380 I mean, his childhood was really rough and his dad was, you know, according to Elon and everyone else in his family other than his dad was very, very abusive toward him and everybody else.

00:26:04.900 And one of the scenarios that they recount multiple times in the book, it's by Walter Isaacson, is that he was, he would come home and his dad would sometimes be in good moods, right?

00:26:17.360 He'd be in good moods.

00:26:18.160 He'd be a great dad. 1.00

00:26:18.800 And then another time he'd come home and his dad would just tell him how stupid he was, how worthless he was, how he would never amount to anything and berate him and berate him, berate him for hours. 1.00

00:26:30.400 And he was required to stand there and take it for hours and hours and hours on end. 0.99

00:26:37.060 Now think about that as a formative experience in your life.

00:26:41.060 Are you going to care what media matters says about you?

00:26:44.020 Are you going to care what the New York Times says about you?

00:26:46.200 Are you going to care about some advertiser leaving your platform?

00:26:48.340 You will hate bullies on any side and you will defy them.

00:26:54.200 One of my characteristics, and I don't know how this developed in me, but one of mine is you tell me you can't do it.

00:27:02.300 It's why I love Walt Disney and Orson Welles so much.

00:27:05.380 You tell me you'll never do it.

00:27:08.340 You can never do it.

00:27:09.540 You'll never get past these people.

00:27:12.500 Oh, you've guaranteed that now that's all I think of doing.

00:27:16.960 And you do it.

00:27:19.480 He's like that with bullies.

00:27:22.560 Now, here's what he said on CNBC yesterday in a live interview.

00:27:29.100 Listen.

00:27:29.760 Apology tour, if you will.

00:27:31.740 This had been said online.

00:27:33.540 There was all of the criticism.

00:27:34.880 There was advertisers leaving.

00:27:36.820 We talked to Bob Iger today.

00:27:37.880 I hope they stop.

00:27:39.260 You hope?

00:27:40.020 Don't advertise.

00:27:41.620 You don't want them to advertise?

00:27:42.760 No.

00:27:43.760 What do you mean? 1.00

00:27:46.540 If somebody's going to try to blackmail me with advertising, blackmail me with money, go f*** yourself. 1.00

00:27:51.900 But go f*** yourself. 1.00

00:28:00.080 Is that clear? 1.00

00:28:02.000 I hope it is.

00:28:03.940 Hey, Bob.

00:28:04.840 If you're in the audience.

00:28:06.480 Well, let me ask you then.

00:28:09.560 That's how I feel.

00:28:11.360 Don't advertise.

00:28:12.080 Okay, so.

00:28:13.900 Wow.

00:28:14.600 So.

00:28:15.420 It's another world, right?

00:28:17.620 It's another world.

00:28:18.620 I never see stuff like that.

00:28:19.960 But isn't that what we said 12 years ago?

00:28:24.960 Just on a very small scale compared to him.

00:28:27.700 I mean, with less language, but.

00:28:29.960 Yes.

00:28:30.340 But it was, it was my money.

00:28:33.640 Everybody said we couldn't do it.

00:28:35.620 Everybody was trying to put us out of business. 1.00

00:28:37.440 And I said, go f*** yourself. 1.00

00:28:40.700 We're doing, we're going to build it our own. 0.99

00:28:43.220 And we're going to build it in a way you're not going to be able to touch us.

00:28:47.040 And I said, we will be, you will, you will beg for the days when we were just on Fox.

00:28:57.580 We're having the best ratings, everything now than we've ever had in my career.

00:29:06.220 It looks like these are the days where you would beg for me just to be on Fox.

00:29:14.640 Okay.

00:29:14.940 It was my money.

00:29:18.280 So if I want to flush it down the toilet, I will.

00:29:22.120 That's his money.

00:29:23.560 You want to flush it down the toilet.

00:29:25.400 Now, the difference that the one thing that I think he didn't expect or people don't understand.

00:29:31.940 When I talk to people who are newly getting into this business and they'll say, okay, so what should I expect?

00:29:38.140 And it's the first thing I say is, you're going to have to understand that you're going to play to only half the audience available.

00:29:48.360 You're going to play to half the country because you're going to be on so many lists that they are going to target you relentlessly.

00:29:56.360 They will destroy your reputation.

00:29:59.360 They will do everything they can to destroy you as a person, destroy your family, destroy your business.

00:30:05.860 You just understand going in.

00:30:08.660 This company that we started with you, what, 12 years ago, Blaze?

00:30:15.340 If this were any other company, it would sell in the billions.

00:30:22.700 Okay?

00:30:22.980 It would easily be a billion-dollar company.

00:30:26.620 Agree or disagree?

00:30:27.620 I mean, I don't know all the numbers, but yeah, probably.

00:30:30.060 It's very, very successful.

00:30:31.200 I mean, we know companies that sold in this industry that were on the left sold for over a billion, and we dwarf them, okay?

00:30:41.620 We're never going to get a billion dollars for this, not in this climate.

00:30:46.560 Maybe our children will be able to do it when America goes sane again because they've done everything to destroy it.

00:30:53.800 Now, I did it on a smaller scale in the millions of dollars.

00:30:58.080 He's doing it in the billions of dollars.

00:31:01.080 So when he says this, and I think he knows, you're going to cut your advertising in half.

00:31:09.340 You're never going to get the Disneys.

00:31:12.880 And Disney, if Disney decides on its own, you know what?

00:31:16.460 I don't want to advertise on Twitter.

00:31:18.400 Fine.

00:31:19.180 Disney's rapidly putting themselves out of business anyway.

00:31:22.980 It's not a long-term client for anyone.

00:31:25.580 So if they decide on their own they want to do that, that's fine.

00:31:30.440 But what he's fighting, and he now knows, are organizations like Media Matters.

00:31:36.760 He used the word blackmail.

00:31:38.780 It's not blackmail.

00:31:39.960 It's economic terrorism.

00:31:41.540 Anyone who says, you must do this, or I'm going to boycott all of your advertisers, then they lead a campaign.

00:31:55.260 Like, they led a campaign against me, and they came up with all these advertisers that were no longer going to advertise.

00:32:01.160 The funniest one was Mercedes-Benz.

00:32:03.980 Mercedes-Benz has never advertised on a Glenn Beck program.

00:32:09.540 Ever.

00:32:10.200 Before there were anything political, they just don't advertise on shows like mine.

00:32:17.080 Okay?

00:32:17.300 They just don't.

00:32:19.140 And so Media Matters, why would Mercedes-Benz make a statement that they will never advertise unless somebody had a gun to their head saying,

00:32:30.340 say it, say it, say it, okay?

00:32:33.900 And quite honestly, Mercedes-Benz, if you want to take a stance against me because I'm a, quote, Nazi, let's have that fight.

00:32:44.640 I mean, I have pictures.

00:32:45.940 I have pictures of Hitler in your product. 0.78

00:32:53.140 You don't have a picture of Hitler listening to my show, so let's have at it. 0.88

00:33:00.340 I mean, jeez. 0.98

00:33:02.960 It's just ridiculous, and it is. 0.92

00:33:04.520 I mean, it is a form of attempted economic terrorism, and I mean, it's not very successful. 0.96

00:33:09.900 In many ways, it's more of a grift of the left than it is some pressure campaign on the right

00:33:15.200 because they convince their own donors to keep shoveling money so they can live in nice houses and fund their own lives.

00:33:23.940 When, really, do they ever get anything done?

00:33:26.220 I mean, do they ever accomplish anything?

00:33:27.360 No, they have accomplished this.

00:33:28.920 They have divided the country and made us into a country to where labels truly matter for some unknown reason.

00:33:41.100 You know, that label is with that label, that's bad.

00:33:44.320 That label with this label, that's good.

00:33:48.180 So they've really accomplished that for a limited time because over time, it's just not true, so it's going to burn itself out.

00:33:57.140 And they are teaching Elon Musk now the cost of not being popular.

00:34:06.600 They are bullies.

00:34:08.540 If you are beat up at school all the time because you're whatever, you're beat up at school all the time, you learn the lesson.

00:34:20.680 If I want to be this, if I choose that this is who I am, I'm going to get hit in the face over and over again, and I'll never be in the cool kids club.

00:34:33.140 Fine.

00:34:34.360 I never sat at the cool kids table.

00:34:37.220 I mean, I was the one getting food thrown at me.

00:34:39.360 You know, I was not the cool kid in school.

00:34:41.840 And I know that comes as a surprise ever.

00:34:44.180 So, you think I care?

00:34:48.500 I'm used to it.

00:34:49.080 I'd like to sit at the cool kids table, but not compromise and become something I'm not.

00:34:56.780 Go F yourself.

00:34:58.760 Who cares?

00:35:00.540 Really?

00:35:01.400 You think you're in a club that has to work to bully people to say, oh, you're the cool one.

00:35:11.120 You're the cool one. 0.96

00:35:12.060 You're stuffing people into lockers so everybody will be afraid to say, you're a fraud. 0.99

00:35:20.480 I don't like you. 0.96

00:35:22.420 And I'm going to compromise myself to sit at your table?

00:35:26.600 Uh, no thank you.

00:35:28.760 I'm not going to play your gerbils to your Hitler. 0.99

00:35:34.560 Sorry.

00:35:35.240 And Elon Musk has, I mean, whatever amount of that you have, he has it times a million.

00:35:44.500 A million.

00:35:45.500 So, he just doesn't care.

00:35:47.120 I mean, one of the reasons why Tesla was successful was because he didn't care if it lost a fortune year after year after year after year.

00:35:57.300 He didn't care.

00:35:58.500 He believed in it.

00:35:59.360 He wanted to do it.

00:36:00.200 He thought it was, as he says in this interview, he says he's done more for the environment than any single human being in history.

00:36:06.420 Which I believe is true.

00:36:07.620 I mean.

00:36:07.960 If you're talking about, you know, gas.

00:36:09.680 From the left wing perspective, I would say yes.

00:36:12.340 That's probably true.

00:36:13.040 I mean, it takes more, I mean, it does more to the environment with the batteries and everything else.

00:36:17.020 But he's single-handedly responsible for the, uh, the electric car movement and the success of it at this point, as limited as it is.

00:36:26.080 But it is successful at Tesla.

00:36:28.040 And he built that because for all those years at the beginning, he didn't care, right?

00:36:34.460 He didn't care if he lost money year after year after year after year.

00:36:37.960 And he almost shut down.

00:36:39.280 I mean, he wanted to make money, but he didn't mind hemorrhaging cash.

00:36:43.660 By the way, just like at the beginning with you at this company, you didn't mind hemorrhaging cash as we were building this.

00:36:50.080 You minded it.

00:36:50.980 I minded it after a while when it was like, I'm out of cash.

00:36:55.060 But you didn't mind.

00:36:56.540 No.

00:36:57.560 Risking it all.

00:36:58.400 Risking it, right?

00:36:59.480 It's the same thing with him.

00:37:01.120 Everyone told him, why the hell are you going to build a bunch of spaceships to go with SpaceX?

00:37:06.280 Because he prioritized this mission that he believed was important over his money.

00:37:12.360 This is what makes him enemy number one for the left, because he doesn't care.

00:37:19.540 And once you get past of once you get past the fear of, oh, no, they're going to cancel me.

00:37:26.200 Oh, no.

00:37:26.780 They might say this about me.

00:37:28.700 Oh, no.

00:37:29.480 I could lose my job.

00:37:31.320 Once you get past that, nobody will screw with you.

00:37:34.820 Because you will frighten the hell out of all of them.

00:37:40.460 Because when you walk into a meeting or you walk into an office, you're the guy with the twitchy eye that they all look at and say, good God, man, he just might do it.

00:37:51.360 Yeah.

00:37:52.200 Yeah.

00:37:52.680 I make promises to myself first on who I am, and then I'll make you a promise.

00:37:59.020 If you ask me to violate who I am, see ya.

00:38:03.320 I'd rather live in poverty than spend the rest of my life in hell compromising.

00:38:12.940 And then, because of that compromise, maybe spending all eternity in hell.

00:38:17.380 No, thank you.

00:38:18.320 I have my priorities.

00:38:19.700 Back in just a second.

00:38:20.700 First, let me tell you, conservative adults, it is easy sometimes to take the concept of the free market for granted that we do.

00:38:28.720 And so we never really taught it to our kids.

00:38:31.820 And we need to.

00:38:33.520 Now, teaching your kids how to do a lemonade stand, make money, that's all important.

00:38:38.520 I teach my kids from the get-go about taxes.

00:38:42.220 My kids don't like taxes because daddy charged taxes on everything they did.

00:38:49.620 Oh, the daddy food tax is the best part of the meal. 0.80

00:38:52.220 Oh, it is.

00:38:53.120 Thank you very much.

00:38:53.900 Whenever there's a dessert coming in.

00:38:55.240 Oh, daddy food tax. 0.96

00:38:56.920 10%.

00:38:57.320 Anyway, and I would say to them, that's only one bite.

00:39:01.700 Imagine if I took 50% of your cake.

00:40:20.100 Be the person who hits their target and not in, you don't have to be in a Rambo movie to do it.

00:41:35.320 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:41:37.400 We've been talking about Elon Musk.

00:41:41.580 Yeah, we should get into this maybe a little bit next hour going on where he goes.

00:41:45.240 Because one of the reasons why I started reading this book, which is, you know, pretty long.

00:41:49.260 And I'm not like, I wouldn't say I'm not an Elon Musk head.

00:41:51.640 Like, I'm not like, you know, obsessed with everything about Elon Musk.

00:41:55.420 But one of the things that is interesting is, especially since the Twitter thing started,

00:41:59.240 is I can't figure out if he's actually a good businessman or not.

00:42:03.340 The experience.

00:42:04.520 Tesla is doing pretty well.

00:42:05.680 Tesla is doing really well.

00:42:06.700 Yeah.

00:42:07.240 SpaceX is doing pretty well.

00:42:08.960 SpaceX is doing pretty well.

00:42:10.280 But what, how, and why is my question.

00:42:13.280 Because when you look at his other companies, like, you know, like he blew up PayPal.

00:42:17.320 Yeah.

00:42:17.680 You know, and wound up, you know, getting thrown, basically, they launched a coup against him.

00:42:24.080 It was such a disaster.

00:42:24.960 He was thrown out of his previous company, too.

00:42:26.740 All the money he made on these early companies were, you know, he wound up being kind of tossed

00:42:31.040 out in a bad situation.

00:42:33.700 And, but his last two companies have done pretty well.

00:42:36.340 Right.

00:42:36.660 But it's different.

00:42:37.660 It's not, it's not like he's a business genius.

00:42:40.840 He's just a genius genius.

00:42:42.800 He comes up with incredible ideas.

00:42:45.320 Okay.

00:42:45.480 So let me, we're running out of time.

00:42:48.140 We'll come back.

00:42:48.920 I've got a couple of incredible stories to tell, but I want to, I want to clarify something

00:42:53.840 about Elon Musk, uh, that I think just the name of his car company explains it all.

00:43:04.560 Yesterday I said, uh, Tanya and I were going to do 20 days of, uh, paying for the services

00:43:15.380 at pre-born and I challenged you to do another, uh, 20 days so we could complete 40 days, 40

00:43:23.160 nights.

00:43:23.580 Money is very tight.

00:43:25.840 Um, and I asked you if you could give even $5, $10.

00:43:30.440 We didn't meet our goal.

00:43:32.040 I'm still going to match you dollar for dollar up to a hundred thousand.

00:43:35.780 So we can have $200,000, which is 40 days and 40 nights.

00:43:40.780 Would you join us in that $2, a dollar, $5?

00:43:45.640 It, uh, to me, it is the, not the amount that you give.

00:43:49.460 It is the, it's the act of putting into action what you believe in.

00:43:57.540 And I know you believe in life.

00:43:59.360 Uh, and I don't think there's anything we can do to call down more blessings in our life

00:44:05.020 than saving God's children.

00:44:08.260 And that includes the moms preborn.com slash Glenn keyword baby.

00:44:55.520 We are so glad that you have tuned in today.

00:44:59.000 Uh, I don't know if you saw the New York tree lighting at Rockefeller Center yesterday.

00:45:04.640 Yeah, me neither, but I read about it and it's in our show prep today.

00:45:08.020 If you get that, it's free at glennbeck.com.

00:45:10.440 Pro-Palestinian protesters swarmed the tree lighting, tried to stop it.

00:45:17.320 They were actually carrying swastikas.

00:45:21.900 Signs with swastikas.

00:45:24.880 Now, I happen to believe all swastikas are created equal, but apparently some are more 1.00

00:45:32.180 equal than others because nobody seemed to care about these swastikas.

00:45:38.040 Uh, yeah.

00:45:40.220 Things are a little dicey all over the world, especially if you're Jewish. 1.00

00:47:15.800 Okay.

00:47:16.720 So we have Lieutenant Colonel Peter Lerner on from the IDF in Israel to give us an update

00:47:24.020 on what's happening and specifically on the hostage situation.

00:47:30.740 Lieutenant Colonel, how are you, sir?

00:47:32.860 Thank you very much.

00:47:33.820 Thanks for having me.

00:47:34.560 You bet.

00:47:35.360 First of all, how is, what is the mood of the people?

00:47:40.260 I've been, I've been shocked to hear, well, I shouldn't say that because this was like

00:47:44.800 after 9-11 in America, how we rallied together.

00:47:48.120 And after we really, once we started breathing again, we were optimistic and united.

00:47:56.860 Is that still the case in Israel?

00:47:59.140 I would say we are still not breathing here.

00:48:03.200 As I sit, sitting in my Tel Aviv headquarters in the IDF spokesperson's unit, I have my television

00:48:11.060 on and everybody is glued to the television watching as two ladies, two young women are 0.99

00:48:19.480 being released as we speak.

00:48:21.560 And this is the latest installment of the release of hostages, those 240 hostages that were abducted

00:48:29.120 by Hamas on the 7th of October.

00:48:32.760 So we are still not breathing.

00:48:34.180 We are still very, very, let's say very, very focused.

00:48:39.520 Society has gathered around the need for a paradigmatical change that brings safety and

00:48:46.600 security for Israel, for the South of Israel, but not only the South of Israel, everywhere

00:48:50.740 around.

00:48:51.380 We are this homicidal organization that has used the powers of government to create this

00:48:59.240 weapon, this machine of terrorism can no longer be permitted to have this power.

00:49:04.180 And that's all.

00:49:05.300 We have to get the hostages home and then we have to get rid of Hamas. 1.00

00:49:09.900 Can you tell me why or who decided on what prisoners were to be released by Israel?

00:49:16.040 Did they ask for the specific names or what? 0.57

00:49:21.740 Because some of them are really nasty.

00:49:25.480 I think, you know, the underlining common denominator of all of those releases that they have

00:49:33.200 either convicted for violent crimes or intended to conduct violent crimes.

00:49:43.660 The IDF did not or does not consider the list is not really under our responsibility.

00:49:52.560 And the government, with its decisions and deliberations with the other security services, makes the decision.

00:50:01.200 But what we can see is, yes, indeed, some of them are nasty. 0.61

00:50:04.600 Some of them, you know, try to blow up car bombs and stab civilians.

00:50:10.300 And, you know, a huge challenge.

00:50:13.860 But, you know, the government has made this decision in order to bring back those that have been abducted.

00:50:21.000 That are, you know, there isn't anybody that hasn't been affected by the abductions.

00:50:25.220 You know, myself, it's friends, it's family friends, it's relatives.

00:50:29.700 It touches everyone and everyone in society.

00:50:36.060 And this is why this is, you know, it may be a price, but we always put life first.

00:50:42.460 And this is the challenge with this ruthless enemy.

00:50:46.400 Out of the hostages that are remaining, how many are women and children?

00:50:51.620 How many are American left?

00:50:53.100 I don't have that current breakdown.

00:50:54.980 We've released, up until today, 99 women and children, babies, youngest of three, four and a half years old, eldest women in their 80s.

00:51:13.140 And there are still women and children that need to be released. 0.98

00:51:16.700 The latest story is, of course, the story of these beautiful ginger babies, Kfir and Ariel Bibas, who were abducted.

00:51:24.980 And we've been demanding that they be brought home with their mother, Shiri. 0.80

00:51:29.900 This is more and more devastating news coming out about hostages and these people.

00:51:37.760 But we are determined to bring every last one of them home.

00:51:42.340 It's the instructions that we have been given.

00:51:46.580 And we do believe that the operational pause advances the goals of the war, of bringing home the hostages and dismantling Hamas.

00:51:54.740 I hope so.

00:51:56.020 I hope you get back to business when it's, don't listen to our administration.

00:52:00.760 I don't know what our administration is doing, but I'm not going to ask you to comment on that.

00:52:04.140 But please just do the right thing and make sure that the bad guys are all dead, quite honestly.

00:52:11.420 We have been trying to find out.

00:52:14.180 I can get the names of hostages really from almost every country except for the United States.

00:52:20.180 And, you know, people were tearing down the pictures of the Israeli hostages, Palestinians were. 1.00

00:52:29.360 And it's shameful.

00:52:31.400 My staff wanted to, a couple of them wanted to take one to their synagogue, one to their church, the names of people and the names of the Americans so we could pray for them.

00:52:43.120 And we can't, we can't get the names.

00:52:46.700 Do you know who's, what, how many Americans and who they are?

00:52:52.740 Um, so I'm very cautious of anything to do with the hostages specifics about hostages identities and so on.

00:52:59.880 We don't know what Hamas know they have, um, and we need to be very cautious in public, publicizing and sharing information.

00:53:07.800 Uh, we haven't shared any specifics about anybody.

00:53:11.360 Um, and I think that's a wise move at this time and we need to pray for them as a collective.

00:53:17.940 We need to, you know, we need to keep them in our thoughts and, and, uh, and what we are doing from the military perspective is making sure that we can, um, you know,

00:53:29.480 gather the intelligence and, and seek out, uh, those that are holding them and, and be prepared for the next stage of this war and taking the war to Hamas.

00:53:40.240 Well, uh, Lieutenant Colonel, um, uh, I, I can't thank you enough for, you know, your sacrifice.

00:53:47.100 I think you were a reserve, weren't you?

00:53:49.600 What, what were you doing on the 6th?

00:53:52.620 My, my date, I was on the 6th.

00:53:55.160 I just came back from a vacation with my family in Florida.

00:53:59.280 We were in, you know, enjoying some, uh, good sun rays and we came back from, from the U S and I was lying in jet lagged, uh, on the 7th of October, very early in the morning, going through my social media at like 4.30 in the morning.

00:54:17.540 And then my phone started to ring, uh, at 6.30 here.

00:54:22.060 And my wife woke up from the ringing of the phone of the sirens of rockets being launched at us.

00:54:27.480 And she said, what's going on?

00:54:28.840 And I said, there are sirens, uh, rockets being fired down South.

00:54:33.160 And as I said, down South, the sirens started to sound in my city, which is a suburb of Tel Aviv.

00:54:41.200 So in the heart of the country, we went down to our shelter and took my daughter, my 12 year old daughter.

00:54:48.140 We went down to the shelter.

00:54:49.460 And when we came up from the shelter, I saw the images on social media of Hamas paragliders coming over the fence.

00:54:56.480 And I looked at my wife and said, something very different is happening today.

00:55:00.120 I think they're going to call me up.

00:55:02.100 And, uh, she looked at me and she said, are they coming for us as well?

00:55:06.340 Uh, you know, everybody feels this attack very, very personally.

00:55:10.460 Uh, the assault on Israel's, uh, Israeli society.

00:55:13.940 It's very personal to all of us.

00:55:15.840 Um, and so for me, there wasn't any, a question or a doubt that the country calls a report for duty.

00:55:22.500 And I, you know, I'm very proud of being today, um, able to speak on behalf of the IDF.

00:55:28.720 And I'm very proud that I have the confidence and I hope that I'm worthy for the servicemen and women on the front lines.

00:55:36.080 Well, um, thank you so much.

00:55:38.060 And I just want you to know, uh, there are millions of Americans, millions, no matter what you see on television coming from here, the hatred on our streets is reminiscent of the 1930s and 40s.

00:55:53.120 And there are millions of Americans that will stand in their way.

00:55:57.580 We, it's not going to happen again on our watch.

00:56:01.280 Uh, and, and, uh, please convey that to everybody that there are millions of Americans who are with you every step of the way.

00:56:09.440 Thank you very much.

00:56:11.300 You bet.

00:56:11.740 Thank you.

00:56:13.340 Uh, we've been trying to get somebody from the IDF on for, uh, uh, a while to talk about the hostages.

00:56:19.680 I, I feel bad that I, uh, I might've put him in a difficult situation, uh, to talk about the U S hostages, but this is something that has bothered us because we can get the names of the hostages everywhere.

00:56:33.820 Okay.

00:56:34.740 We can't get the names of the Americans.

00:56:37.860 And, um, we reached out and we asked the state department, I think nicely.

00:56:46.200 Why are you not releasing these?

00:56:47.920 Cause I can get them from any other country.

00:56:49.640 Why are you not releasing them?

00:56:51.320 This is our letter to the state department yesterday.

00:56:54.800 Hello.

00:56:55.180 I'm a producer for the nationally syndicated Glenn Beck radio program.

00:56:58.480 We have not been able to find a list of the United States citizens who are being held as hostages by Hamas.

00:57:04.300 The identity of hostages from other countries have been published and are easily accessible.

00:57:09.780 Will you release the names or descriptions of the hostages who are United States citizens?

00:57:15.540 If not, can you explain why you're unwilling or unable to release the names to the public?

00:57:21.380 Our deadline for responses tomorrow morning, 8 PM Eastern or 8 AM Eastern time.

00:57:26.600 This is the state department's response.

00:57:29.320 Good afternoon, comma, out of respect for their privacy.

00:57:33.840 No period regards state department press.

00:57:39.700 Okay.

00:57:40.420 Well, thanks.

00:57:41.360 Thank you.

00:57:42.080 Uh, that was a little terse.

00:57:43.860 I don't think we, you know, deserve that, but, uh, you know, not from our own government, you know, but, uh, okay.

00:57:53.180 Out of respect for their privacy.

00:57:55.160 I don't think the United States government cares about people's privacy.

00:58:02.500 You want to talk about privacy.

00:58:05.940 Come on, United States government.

00:58:08.580 Come on the program.

00:58:09.980 We'll talk about your respect for privacy.

00:58:12.800 Now, could it be that you don't want to give any more information, uh, because the terrorists can use it because somebody is, you know, a daughter, son, mom, you know, or individual, some woman who's very instrumental in whatever.

00:58:32.180 And they're afraid that that could cause more trouble.

00:58:34.800 I understand that.

00:58:35.840 And you don't have to tell us.

00:58:39.220 That's what I was looking for.

00:58:40.760 I was looking for either the list of the names so we could publish the names so people could pray for families by name.

00:58:49.880 You know, God knows who they are, but we thought it would be nice.

00:58:53.820 Um, but I get a response out of respect for their privacy.

00:59:01.640 I somehow or another don't believe that to be true.

00:59:03.980 Now, maybe because they do care about selective privacy, you know, the privacy of the Biden family.

00:59:14.820 They care deeply about the privacy of the Trump family.

00:59:18.520 Not so much privacy of your family.

00:59:22.060 No Soros family.

00:59:23.880 Absolutely.

00:59:24.480 Maybe it's just me, but I can't give you the names.

00:59:32.280 Uh, I'd like to know, you know, what we're doing.

00:59:38.460 Um, I, I don't need to know, but I don't trust this government that it is the government that has the citizens or Israel's or America's best interest at heart.

00:59:54.600 It's, it's an interesting calculation.

00:59:56.280 I mean, you could see a scenario where if, you know, the American media latched onto one specific hostage, they become higher value.

01:00:03.340 And it can be easily said there it's possible.

01:00:05.280 There's a reason why we don't know those things.

01:00:07.080 Although it's odd that every other country seems to be releasing lists.

01:00:10.500 Correct.

01:00:10.760 So I don't know exactly what the reason that could be because somebody is being held hostage and that one person, they say, don't release any of them because that one person is important.

01:00:24.920 And we don't want to let them know who they really are.

01:00:27.680 Sure.

01:00:27.960 Maybe that, that is a possible and a real possibility, but you say, we don't want to give anybody any information about anything because it could be used against.

01:00:41.240 And you make it in a general statement.

01:00:43.660 So you don't, you're not tipping off that there is somebody.

01:00:47.660 Yeah.

01:00:49.980 I mean, and plus, obviously there's posters being put up all over the country of people who are missing.

01:00:56.920 You know, it's just a strange, it is a really strange situation.

01:01:01.300 And I, you know, normally in a normal situation, I'd say, look, we'll give the benefit of the doubt to the, you know, the, the government and the military on this.

01:01:08.560 They know more than we do.

01:01:09.500 It's just hard to do that anymore.

01:01:11.080 Did you not know the faces of all of the people in Iran, the 282 or how many hostages were there and they were held?

01:01:18.440 Yeah.

01:01:19.380 282 hostages held for 400 and some days, something like that.

01:01:23.240 Yeah.

01:01:23.500 And luckily Ben Affleck saved them, but they would have been in trouble.

01:01:27.700 I didn't know he was even involved.

01:01:28.980 Yeah.

01:01:29.260 Oh yeah, he was.

01:01:29.840 I watched a documentary.

01:01:30.840 All right.

01:01:31.520 All right.

01:01:32.040 Let me stop.

01:01:33.660 Tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

01:01:35.700 American financing NMLS 1-8233-4 www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

01:01:41.680 You know, what is terrifying to me is how many people that are within the sound of my voice who are right now thinking I'm going to lose my house.

01:01:51.720 I may lose my house.

01:01:53.340 I may not have a place to go because my finances are all upside down.

01:01:58.480 I worry about you.

01:02:00.300 I worry about you.

01:02:02.220 I think about you.

01:02:03.220 I pray for you.

01:02:04.140 I'm glad I'm glad I'm not in your situation, but may I recommend something that if I were in your situation, I would consider, and that is calling American financing.

01:02:17.940 If you are all upside down with your credit cards and you own your home, you could get a loan, refi your mortgage, roll all of that debt in.

01:02:29.560 They can save people, and they are saving people, like $3,000 a month.

01:02:34.260 The average person is $825 a month.

01:02:38.860 That gives you breathing room.

01:02:41.280 Now, the downside is you're going to pay a higher interest rate on your mortgage.

01:02:45.460 Okay, but you're saving $825 a month, and when the rates come down, you're going to be able to get a lower mortgage.

01:02:56.300 They'll refi again, and so you can get a lower mortgage, but this gives you the breathing room that you need.

01:03:03.500 Also, American financing takes special interests in you, especially, you know, whatever your situation is, but if you have lower credit scores and you have it, you've been turned down, they have special programs for you, and they also have a program designed, and it's free, just to help you raise your credit score.

01:03:21.100 To get you on to a path of internal financial peace.

01:03:35.980 10 seconds, Station ID.

01:03:36.880 So, today, out on the Glenn Beck podcast, it's available now, episode 203, it was one of the more difficult conversations I've ever had,

01:04:03.460 and I offered to stop a couple of times, and this brave young woman, her name is Lee Saucy,

01:04:11.140 she was actually at the music festival in Israel.

01:04:18.060 She was one of the few survivors.

01:04:21.420 I talked to her, what was it, yesterday, and

01:04:25.300 she tells the story from the beginning, and what she went through.

01:04:31.120 The episode is called, I Covered Myself With Bodies.

01:04:36.120 The way she and about, I think, four other people in this bomb shelter that got to a shelter,

01:04:42.980 and then every 30 minutes, for hours, another terrorist group would come in and shoot at the pile of bodies or throw a grenade in.

01:04:56.680 And each time they did that, somebody else died that was hiding under a body.

01:05:03.440 She survived miraculously.

01:05:05.380 Honestly, her story is unbelievable.

01:05:09.380 Unbelievable.

01:05:11.140 It is, when I, you know, we had a little kind of ease in to talk to it, and she was fine,

01:05:19.400 and then I said, so tell me about that morning.

01:05:24.660 Her breathing changed, everything changed, and I said, we don't have to do this if you don't want to.

01:05:29.900 She's like, no, no, it's good for me to do it, and people need to hear it.

01:05:35.580 The things she went through and did, that, just to survive, it's incredible what humans will do,

01:05:47.860 and how your mind processes situations.

01:05:50.940 It is an incredible episode.

01:05:53.160 Episode 203, available today, only on Blaze TV.

01:05:57.460 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:06:01.480 When it comes to your mobile carrier, if you had to choose between great service or giving money to a company that believes in your values,

01:06:08.460 which would you choose?

01:06:10.060 Now, that's a tough question.

01:06:11.840 Now, what if I said you could get the same service, cheaper,

01:06:16.800 and the company believes in your values,

01:06:19.680 and is actually in the thick of it, fighting for those values?

01:06:26.100 It's simple, right?

01:06:28.660 Switch to Patriot Mobile.

01:06:30.980 Their mission is to passionately defend our God-given constitutional rights and freedoms,

01:06:36.180 and to glorify God always.

01:06:38.180 That's their company's mission statements.

01:06:40.420 They put their cause ahead of profits.

01:06:42.840 Now, I'm proud to represent them just as a phone company,

01:06:46.440 because they're going to save you money.

01:06:48.360 Their phone service, I don't carry a phone.

01:06:50.860 I bought a phone, so I would be a customer of theirs.

01:06:54.980 That's how much I believe in them.

01:06:58.020 My family has their phone service.

01:07:00.600 You're going to be on the three big carries.

01:07:02.340 You're going to get exactly the same kind of coverage.

01:07:26.620 All right.

01:07:32.520 The House has reconvened on their weaponization of government.

01:07:37.040 There's testimony that is out today.

01:07:40.220 There is new information about this absolute insidious organization

01:07:48.640 that is now internal in the government, started as external,

01:07:53.680 and it is now a full operation with Five Eyes.

01:07:58.240 If you don't know what Five Eyes is,

01:08:00.700 it's the intelligence agency of the five largest powers in the West,

01:08:04.900 America, England, France, Australia, and either Germany or Japan, I think.

01:08:13.160 But it's the five major powers and their intelligence, and they share.

01:08:18.460 Okay?

01:08:19.520 Well, now they're spying on us because our CIA and NSA can't spy on us legally.

01:08:26.960 So they spy on us.

01:08:28.620 We spy on them.

01:08:29.900 And when I say them, our people, the citizens.

01:08:34.660 And they collate all the information, and they pass it to us.

01:08:37.720 We pass it to them.

01:08:38.800 That way, nobody's actually broken the law or their constitution.

01:08:42.200 It is absolutely insidious.

01:08:45.480 Insidious.

01:08:46.980 And it's public-private partnerships.

01:08:49.460 Now, this is what they're testifying about.

01:08:51.680 I want you to hear just a little bit of what Michael Schellenberger said about this.

01:08:56.460 But the First Amendment prohibits the government from abridging freedom of speech.

01:09:02.380 The Supreme Court has ruled that the government may not induce, encourage, or promote private

01:09:07.200 persons to accomplish what is constitutionally forbidden to accomplish.

01:09:11.140 And there's now a large body of evidence proving that the government did precisely that.

01:09:16.020 What's more, the whistleblower who delivered the CTIL files to us says that its leader,

01:09:21.080 a, quote-unquote, former British intelligence analyst, was, quote-unquote, in the room at the

01:09:26.580 Obama White House in 2017 when she received the instructions to create a counter-disinformation 0.97

01:09:32.080 project to, quote, stop a repeat of 2016.

01:09:36.560 The U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Information Security Agency,

01:09:41.240 CISA, has been the center of gravity for much of the censorship, with the National Science

01:09:46.820 Foundation financing the development of censorship and disinformation tools,

01:09:50.360 and other federal government agencies playing a supportive role.

01:09:54.140 Emails from CISA's NGO and social media partners show that CISA created the Election Integrity

01:10:00.420 Partnership, EIP, in 2020, which involved the Stanford Internet Observatory and other U.S.

01:10:06.400 government contractors.

01:10:08.460 EIP and its successor, the Virality Project, urged Twitter, Facebook, and other platforms to

01:10:14.100 censor social media posts by ordinary citizens and elected officials alike.

01:10:18.140 EIP reported that they had a 75 percent response rate from the platforms and that 35 percent of

01:10:24.680 the URLs that they reported were either removed, labeled, or throttled, or soft-blocked.

01:10:31.960 In 2020, the Department of Homeland Security's CISA violated the First Amendment and interfered

01:10:36.880 in the election, while in 2021, CISA and the White House violated the First Amendment and

01:10:41.680 undermined America's response to the COVID pandemic by demanding that Facebook and Twitter censor

01:10:46.920 content that Facebook itself said was, quote-unquote, often true, including about vaccine side effects.

01:10:53.880 All of this is profoundly un-American. 0.50

01:10:56.600 One's commitment to free speech means nothing if it does not extend to your political enemies.

01:11:01.360 In his essential new book, Liar in a Crowded Theater, Jeff Koseff, a law professor at the

01:11:06.980 United States Naval Academy, shows that the widespread view that the government can censor false speech

01:11:12.400 and or speech that, quote-unquote, causes harm, is mostly wrong.

01:11:16.220 The Supreme Court has allowed very few constraints on speech.

01:11:20.640 For example, the test of incitement to violence remains its immediacy.

01:11:25.580 I encourage Congress to defund and dismantle the government organizations involved in censorship.

01:11:31.000 That includes phasing out all funding for the National Science Foundation's TRAC-F,

01:11:36.300 Trust and Authenticity in Communication Systems, and its secure and trustworthy cyberspace TRAC.

01:11:42.140 I would also encourage Congress to abolish CISA in DHS.

01:11:46.380 Short of taking those steps, I would encourage significant guardrails and oversight to prevent

01:11:51.460 such censorship from happening again.

01:11:53.640 In particular, it's very easy to see the line in CISA.

01:11:57.380 They say they're covering physical security, cyber security, but they added a third one,

01:12:02.820 cognitive security, which is basically attempting to control the information environment

01:12:07.300 and how people think about the world, including the stories that they tell.

01:12:11.120 Stop.

01:12:14.120 This is a new term that everyone needs to learn right now.

01:12:22.200 Cognitive security.

01:12:23.840 What is cognitive security?

01:12:29.760 We used to call it propaganda, but that's old-timey.

01:12:36.680 Propaganda no longer happens the way it used to with, you know, Rosie the Riveter or whatever.

01:12:43.620 That's not the way it happens now.

01:12:45.860 Because of AI, algorithms, social media, and all of the information that is out on each of us

01:12:56.340 that we've gladly given to our overlords at social media.

01:13:03.080 Because that's out, and because we now have the tools to...

01:13:08.580 Remember when they used to say,

01:13:09.740 no, it's just metadata, just big data.

01:13:11.780 We don't know the individual...

01:13:12.580 They know the individuals now.

01:13:14.540 They know everything about you, your family, your history, your children, how you make choices,

01:13:21.120 what appeals to you, what doesn't appeal to you.

01:13:23.580 So now, through AI, propaganda is specific to you.

01:13:30.620 And it's not going to come in a Rosie the Riveter thing where you're like,

01:13:34.960 oh, yeah, you know, I remember seeing those, and I felt good about America.

01:13:38.920 It's going to come in little teeny pieces that your brain puts together without you knowing it.

01:13:48.720 All of a sudden, you're thinking in one direction, and you didn't have any idea that somebody planted that.

01:13:56.860 That's cognitive security.

01:13:59.020 As he said, it's our storytelling ability.

01:14:04.460 It's how we make decisions.

01:14:06.480 It's how we see life.

01:14:09.380 It is so unbelievably insidious.

01:14:13.760 This is not the loss of your liberty.

01:14:16.980 It is much deeper than that.

01:14:19.740 It is your loss of free will.

01:14:23.400 Because you will no longer know what you decided to do and what you were shaped to do.

01:14:35.720 We used to say, don't advertise cigarettes on television because, you know, it makes people smoke.

01:14:40.880 Joe, the camel's going to make you smoke. 1.00

01:14:43.300 If you're dumb enough, maybe you should smoke. 1.00

01:14:45.660 If you're dumb enough, like, that camel's smoking a cigarette. 1.00

01:14:48.240 That looks good. 1.00

01:14:49.040 Oh, it's got to be healthy for me if the camel is smoking it right there by the pyramids.

01:14:54.140 They've been around for a long time. 1.00

01:14:56.120 If you're that dumb, smoke. 1.00

01:14:58.500 Smoke 20 packs a day. 1.00

01:15:01.940 Good God.

01:15:04.280 However, we know advertising can be dangerous.

01:15:09.100 This is fatal.

01:15:11.000 And our government is pouring billions of dollars into it.

01:15:16.660 And all of the information is there.

01:15:19.100 This is not partisan.

01:15:22.520 It's not partisan.

01:15:25.280 This has to be stopped.

01:15:27.100 If Donald Trump were doing it, it has to be stopped.

01:15:32.060 Do you remember what was his name?

01:15:33.460 Robert, Dr. Robert Malone, maybe from Harvard.

01:15:37.540 He was the guy that was trying to do the ephemeral tracking from Google.

01:15:45.520 Do you remember?

01:15:46.780 It depends on how they stack results.

01:15:50.300 And so he wanted, I can't remember what it was.

01:15:52.860 He wanted to raise $20 million for research that could prove that Google was swaying elections.

01:16:02.760 He couldn't get money.

01:16:04.040 Couldn't get money from anybody.

01:16:05.460 Why?

01:16:08.240 Because too many in Washington don't want tracking to know they're shaping your thoughts.

01:16:17.120 And he proved that you could change an election just by these little tweaks in algorithms that no one would know about.

01:16:28.220 You just stack things differently and you can change a voter nine out of ten times.

01:16:39.720 That's why they didn't want to give him any money because they're doing it.

01:16:42.780 I think this is the biggest threat to freedom out there.

01:16:53.760 I think this is, this is the one.

01:16:59.220 This is brainwashing.

01:17:02.180 And if they can get away with it, they will do it.

01:17:07.060 They're all ready, but they will continue.

01:17:09.500 And in a very short time, AI is progressing so rapidly.

01:17:17.660 If we don't root all of this out of our government and all of this out of our big tech,

01:17:23.340 if we don't start becoming and demanding for transparency on all fronts, we're lost.

01:17:32.860 We are lost.

01:17:34.220 And it could be under one dictatorship or another.

01:17:37.380 But you lose your free will.

01:17:39.980 You will not know until it's too late.

01:17:43.560 I'm going to give you an amazing story tomorrow that will bring cognitive security to the table.

01:17:53.400 Here's one example I'll give you today, but then I'll show you how it's being done today.

01:17:59.640 You know how the FBI will infiltrate these groups, the Whitmer case up in Michigan or January 6th,

01:18:07.660 and they have operatives.

01:18:09.320 And those operatives are supposed to be in and infiltrate so they can see what's happening

01:18:16.160 and warn an arrest before anything happens.

01:18:20.560 But the FBI, we now know, is actively engaged, and they are setting people up.

01:18:29.200 Back in the Bush era, the left really cared about it because it was happening to Islamic people, 0.99

01:18:37.840 people who believed in Mohammed.

01:18:40.600 And I said at the time, it was wrong.

01:18:44.120 You can't go in and then offer guns and help hatch a plan and everything else,

01:18:50.520 and then arrest the people.

01:18:52.360 You were part of it.

01:18:54.400 You can't do that.

01:18:55.660 That's old-style cognitive security.

01:19:00.200 Go in, convince people to do something, and then arrest them.

01:19:07.840 I'm going to show you that very story that just happened online.

01:19:15.820 And it is horrifying and destroyed this group.

01:19:22.480 Destroyed them.

01:19:25.120 They were in the right.

01:19:27.140 Cognitive security was in the wrong.

01:19:29.380 Tomorrow, at this time, I'll tell you that story,

01:19:34.000 and I will show you how bad it's going to be before the election

01:19:40.880 if this committee doesn't stop it right now.

01:19:49.700 Stu wants to talk to you about GenuCell.

01:19:52.000 I sure do, Glenn.

01:19:53.180 It's Christmas time.

01:19:54.200 It's the holidays, and you're going to be meeting with all sorts of people.

01:19:57.560 Most of them you like, probably.

01:20:00.480 Some of them maybe you don't like so much.

01:20:03.020 But you'd like to look good in front of them either way,

01:20:59.260 Glenn Beck.

01:21:14.860 We have to spend more time on Elon Musk today,

01:21:21.460 because there's a lot out of this interview he did on CNBC

01:21:24.080 that I think is really important to cover.

01:21:27.440 We'll do that next hour.

01:21:29.520 Also, a continuation from last night's TV show.

01:21:33.080 If you missed the Wednesday night special, boy, you missed a lot.

01:21:37.880 I had an interview with a woman from the air marshal system.

01:21:42.420 Did you know that our air marshals are not on planes right now?

01:21:46.140 Do you know that?

01:21:47.200 Do you notice that planes have to be grounded,

01:21:50.740 then the police have to come on board and take these people.

01:21:53.780 They're fighting.

01:21:54.360 They're doing weird things on planes, right, all the time.

01:21:57.240 Where are our air marshals?

01:21:58.160 I didn't even think about that.

01:22:00.260 Where are our air marshals?

01:22:01.960 Wait until you hear what this administration has done.

01:22:07.080 That's next hour.

01:22:09.260 So in about 15 minutes from now.

01:22:11.860 Let me finish a conversation from last hour with Stu on Elon Musk,

01:22:16.780 because last hour you were saying, you know, he's a genius,

01:22:20.440 but he may not be a business genius.

01:22:23.240 Right.

01:22:23.840 I think you look at his history and you see this pattern repeated over and over again.

01:22:28.840 He makes a lot of bad, arguably bad business decisions.

01:22:33.600 Some of his companies have been immensely successful,

01:22:36.580 sometimes because people didn't listen to him early on in his career.

01:22:40.360 But later on, because he was able to walk through a lot of decisions that were highly

01:22:45.600 questionable business-wise to get to a goal that he cared about so much.

01:22:49.880 Okay.

01:22:50.120 So I think that, A, I would, he might have made mistakes when he was younger and other

01:22:55.960 businesses, but I think he's learned from those mistakes.

01:22:58.140 These seem to be, you know, Tesla is a very good example of that.

01:23:01.980 SpaceX is another great example of that.

01:23:04.000 But everything you need to know about Elon Musk, I think, can be brought back to the name

01:23:11.760 of his car company, Tesla.

01:23:14.860 Why did he pick Tesla?

01:23:17.200 In America, if you want to talk about electricity, you pick Edison.

01:23:21.420 There's a reason I believe he picked Tesla.

01:23:24.600 Edison, let me just describe Edison quickly. 0.93

01:23:28.200 Honestly, he was a bully. 0.91

01:23:30.420 He was double dealing. 1.00

01:23:32.780 He was a liar. 0.99

01:23:34.080 He exploited the workers. 1.00

01:23:36.120 He exploited everybody.

01:23:37.940 He tried to put everyone out of business, not fairly, in any way he could.

01:23:44.140 He would use Wall Street.

01:23:45.380 He would use powerful, you know, millionaires or billionaires today.

01:23:49.640 He would use the government and he'd destroy you.

01:23:54.020 Okay. 1.00

01:23:54.240 You were either for him or you would die.

01:23:58.440 Tesla, on the other hand, Nikolai Tesla, he was somebody who just believed in a few things

01:24:04.600 and wanted to change the world.

01:24:06.500 He couldn't fight the monster that was Edison and he was driven insane and everything else.

01:24:15.540 However, Tesla won.

01:24:19.760 In the end, Tesla won.

01:24:21.800 And his biggest win was when he found somebody else that didn't care.

01:24:28.900 And that person was the guy who invented the air brake for trains and saved hundreds and hundreds of thousands of lives.

01:24:36.820 His name was Westinghouse.

01:24:40.320 Elon needs Westinghouse.

01:24:42.760 I am wearing American Giant today.

01:24:49.180 In fact, everything except this shirt, my t-shirt, this.

01:24:52.260 I just got these pants from American Giant.

01:24:55.020 They are, you know, I don't know if anybody else is like this.

01:25:00.440 When you put on a pair of pants or a pair of jeans, there is a difference between the zippers that used to be made in America

01:25:08.380 and the zippers that you find on most pants.

01:25:11.440 Maybe this is a guy thing and maybe this is just a Glenn thing. 0.99

01:25:14.360 But when they are brass, strong, zippers that you know last, they're not cheap little pieces of crap. 0.99

01:25:22.860 It's unbelievable. 0.96

01:25:24.180 I put this pair of pants on and I thought, I think these are the only pants I'm going to wear from here on out.

01:25:29.940 I mean, they are really good.

01:25:32.180 You can get all of this stuff at AmericanGiant.com right now.

01:27:12.380 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:27:18.520 Hello, America.

01:27:19.540 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:27:21.940 Last night I did a show, a Wednesday night special.

01:27:24.640 If you missed it, go back and watch it.

01:27:26.280 You can see it on YouTube or Blaze TV.

01:27:28.820 But it was about gaslighting.

01:27:31.580 First, where is that term coming from?

01:27:34.020 Why was it the 2022 word of the year?

01:27:37.340 It comes from a movie in 1940, I think 1941 or 44.

01:27:43.160 It was not a big term at the time.

01:27:45.620 All of a sudden, Merriam-Webster's like, gaslighting.

01:27:49.400 It's the word of the year.

01:27:51.100 And that was used against conservatives, not the other way around.

01:27:58.460 So, they say we're gaslighting.

01:28:01.580 Well, I think they're doing worse than gaslighting on the economy and the border.

01:28:07.240 Those are the two top things that people are worried about in America.

01:28:10.600 When you ask about what's the most concerning thing, number one is immigration. 0.95

01:28:17.260 I'm sorry.

01:28:17.900 Number one is the economy.

01:28:19.580 Number two is immigration and all of the problems. 1.00

01:28:22.940 I took both of those apart and showed you the truth last night.

01:28:26.300 But I took immigration in a different way this one time.

01:28:30.740 And that is security.

01:28:32.780 How is our security, the number of terrorists, known terrorists that we have caught coming across the border?

01:28:42.600 Let me just put it this perspective.

01:28:44.480 During the Trump administration, a group of terrorists, I think it was nine, came across the border in four years.

01:28:51.700 We are now two months into the new fiscal year, and I believe we have tripled that number four years.

01:29:04.060 We've tripled that number in the last two months.

01:29:07.740 That's how bad it is.

01:29:10.500 And I was led to talk to an air marshal, somebody that was part of the federal air marshals.

01:29:18.440 You know they're not on our planes anymore?

01:29:20.220 Wait a minute, what?

01:29:23.580 Probably the most effective thing we did after 9-11, and we're not doing it now?

01:29:29.880 Why?

01:29:30.520 Why?

01:29:30.920 You're not going to believe the answer.

01:29:33.060 She's back joining me to finish our conversation from last night in just a minute.

01:29:37.900 First, let me tell you about LifeLock.

01:29:39.400 Good rule of thumb to remember, especially when you're doing things online,

01:29:43.660 is that, you know, if you've got it, somebody out there is probably trying to take it from you.

01:29:50.720 Your information, your identity, your money, your property even.

01:29:54.220 That's the game cybercriminals play.

01:29:56.560 It's also the game the federal government plays, but that's a different story.

01:29:59.900 It's no game if they succeed in cybercriminals.

01:30:03.480 They're going to take it, and you're going to have a real mess on your hands.

01:30:10.140 Your personal information gets exposed so often, it's dangerously easy now,

01:30:14.800 and it's getting easier and easier, and the game is constantly changing,

01:30:17.860 which is why, you know, nobody can catch everything.

01:30:21.500 But LifeLock by Norton is the best.

01:30:23.900 They detect and alert you to threats that you may not spot on your own.

01:30:28.220 Things like loans being taken out of your name or cybercriminals pretending to be you.

01:30:34.020 Don't be a victim.

01:30:52.700 Okay, so last night I was having a conversation with Sonia Hightower-LeBosco,

01:31:01.160 and this is how it ended.

01:31:04.180 Listen to this.

01:31:05.840 ...speech, this person returned to the hotel.

01:31:08.820 It is important to note that blank never set foot near the Capitol grounds,

01:31:14.000 in fact, suffers from a disability that makes it difficult for her to walk.

01:31:18.900 This air marshal with 27 years of experience, do you remember this case?

01:31:24.400 What was he assigned to do?

01:31:26.720 I do, and that's his wife we're talking about, Glenn.

01:31:29.100 He is the special ops air marshal.

01:31:31.380 He actually assigns the teams of air marshals to follow these individuals that are on quiet skies or a selectee.

01:31:37.080 So this air marshal actually came into duty.

01:31:39.020 It was his job to sign the missions for that day,

01:31:41.440 opened his computer and saw a photograph of his wife listed as a suspected domestic terrorist,

01:31:45.880 knowing that she had nothing to do with the Capitol.

01:31:49.120 She didn't even go to the Capitol that day,

01:31:51.680 and we proved that through many, many different ways from geo-tracking,

01:31:56.120 her cell phone, her Uber receipts, you name it.

01:31:58.840 We proved it.

01:31:59.900 I've got less than a minute.

01:32:02.080 You have to tell me if this is true.

01:32:05.140 Did we actually use the air marshals to track a four-month-old, four-week-old baby?

01:32:11.860 Yes, Glenn.

01:32:13.700 We're doing that now.

01:32:14.620 The baby's eight weeks old.

01:32:15.940 The baby was not even conceived.

01:32:17.560 It's an eight-week-old baby who's on the terrorist watch list.

01:32:20.160 That is correct.

01:32:22.620 I didn't have time to fully delve into why our air marshals are following,

01:32:28.420 and I bet it's not hard to track,

01:32:31.400 the eight-week-old newborn that is now on the terrorist watch list.

01:32:37.840 Now, one of my kids, well, two of my kids,

01:32:42.000 they were born with, I believe, explosive stuff in their system,

01:32:48.280 and when they would drop a bomb sometimes, it was nasty.

01:32:54.120 But I never thought we should call an air marshal.

01:32:58.240 But apparently, at eight weeks, I mean, that's basic boot camp, isn't it?

01:33:04.360 Eight weeks?

01:33:05.680 What can these babies do to us? 1.00

01:33:08.540 Sonia is with us again.

01:33:10.440 Sonia, tell us the story of the eight-week-old baby.

01:33:14.740 Okay, Glenn, this story was just broke by Uncovered DC and Wendy Mahoney.

01:33:19.060 This eight-week-old baby is on the terrorist watch list,

01:33:22.600 and it's not just one air marshal that's going to be assigned.

01:33:24.880 It's going to be a minimum of three.

01:33:26.860 So you're going to have three air marshals following this eight-week-old baby,

01:33:29.920 no matter if the baby travels with their grandparents,

01:33:32.980 if the baby just travels with cousins, it doesn't matter.

01:33:37.380 Once the baby's on the list, by their name, the baby is going to stay on that list.

01:33:41.820 Okay, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.

01:33:45.200 Did the parents do something?

01:33:48.200 The father, I think the father was, I think they got him for parading at January the 6th.

01:33:54.620 I think he did face a charge.

01:33:56.240 I think he did walk through, yeah, he either walked through the Capitol

01:33:59.760 or he did something of that nature on January the 6th.

01:34:03.760 Oh, my gosh, not parading.

01:34:06.500 And this, you know, I think this is his fiancée that booked the tickets for her and the baby.

01:34:13.020 I don't know that they're married.

01:34:14.320 I think this was his fiancée that she booked the tickets for her and the baby

01:34:18.980 to go on, I think, a holiday vacation down to Puerto Rico.

01:34:23.680 So he wasn't even with them?

01:34:26.400 No, he wasn't with them then.

01:34:28.740 No, he wasn't.

01:34:30.740 So he's with them now.

01:34:32.720 They are a family.

01:34:34.060 So they were flying down to visit family, I think, down in Puerto Rico.

01:34:38.500 And lo and behold, you know, they get to the airport.

01:34:41.620 She gets to the airport.

01:34:42.800 They print out the boarding passes.

01:34:44.600 And here's the baby.

01:34:45.620 As you can see, I think I sent you the picture.

01:34:48.660 It's the infant.

01:34:49.800 It's the infant on the boarding pass.

01:34:51.700 It says INFT, and then it has the four quad S's showcasing that they're on the watch list.

01:35:00.120 Well, has the baby blown anything up?

01:35:04.360 I mean, I just have to ask.

01:35:05.720 I mean, is the baby involved in things right now?

01:35:10.540 I mean, you never can tell.

01:35:11.860 The baby wasn't even born.

01:35:12.880 The baby wasn't even conceived.

01:35:14.460 It wasn't even born then.

01:35:16.880 It wasn't even a thought at that moment.

01:35:19.060 But this was, you know, back in January of 2021, we're going three years later into this.

01:35:25.700 And I mean, I mean, I knew, look, I knew that we had been following a six-year-old boy and a nine-year-old child.

01:35:32.180 I knew that.

01:35:32.780 I mean, that was a all-time low for the information we received.

01:35:36.620 But when we received the information on the eight-week-old baby, I mean, how low can you go within the government for these, to pacify the swamp, right?

01:35:48.300 Because this is who we're pacifying in TSA with the air marshals.

01:35:51.780 We are pacifying the swamp members that want Americans targeted because they exercised their First Amendment right or they attended a rally or they weren't even there.

01:36:01.980 Anybody affiliated with January the 6th, whether you were at the Capitol or the rally, it does not matter.

01:36:08.120 The swamp wants you targeted.

01:36:10.500 So to give people perspective, and I, Sonia, I believe one of the most of, I think we did two things right after 9-11.

01:36:21.900 We put air marshals on the plane and we made the door to the pilots bulletproof.

01:36:30.500 Those two things, I think, are the best things we ever did.

01:36:34.540 Everything else was just government nonsense for the most part, I think, at least the way it's been executed.

01:36:41.760 The air marshals are not on board of our planes now because they're not only just following babies and children, but they are also on our border, correct?

01:36:58.320 That is correct.

01:36:59.440 When we have been forced to go down to the border for over two years now, the Air Marshal National Council, the group I work with,

01:37:07.580 we've been fighting that because we know that we have very limited resources in the first place.

01:37:13.000 I mean, the air marshals are only a couple of thousand specialty group inside of TSA, which TSA is this big administrative 65,000 bureaucratic agency.

01:37:23.800 And then you've got this little small law enforcement component inside of this administrative agency,

01:37:28.920 and they're smothering our duties as law enforcement with all their bureaucratic administrative red tape that they're using for a political agenda.

01:37:39.120 And our air marshals are doing what on the border?

01:37:42.280 They are doing non-law enforcement duties, non-law enforcement.

01:37:46.600 They are driving people to the hospital.

01:37:49.020 They are walking around the facility once an hour and checking a box saying, well, everything's quiet.

01:37:54.760 I didn't see any doors unlocked.

01:37:56.160 They're at the front gate signing vehicles in and out.

01:37:59.820 Okay, well, there's a delivery.

01:38:01.160 All right, this person came in at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

01:38:03.780 They left at 2.30.

01:38:05.540 They're handing out water.

01:38:06.920 They're making sandwiches.

01:38:08.440 They are doing nothing, nothing that they should be doing to thwart hijackings in the aircraft.

01:38:15.000 What's your biggest concern on all of this?

01:38:17.900 My biggest concern is we're going to have another 9-11, Glenn.

01:38:21.280 We're blinking red.

01:38:22.600 And if there was ever a time in this country for, it's not even incompetence.

01:38:28.260 I used to think this was incompetence.

01:38:30.240 This is intentional.

01:38:31.680 How can you take the only resource we have from the air and put them down on the border to do no duties?

01:38:38.800 That's the thing.

01:38:39.800 We're not even doing anything down there.

01:38:41.440 And we're letting the American people, we're ushering in illegals, we're catering to the illegals, and the American people who buy plane tickets and pay security fees and expect to be safe have nobody looking out for them. 0.98

01:38:55.720 You know what's amazing to me is I didn't even think of the air marshals.

01:39:04.340 Story after story, sometimes it feels like it's once a week we'll hear about some crazy person on a plane that started an argument or whatever, and not once have I thought, wait a minute, where's the air marshal?

01:39:18.080 Because usually the air marshals are the ones that, you know, hey, sit down if there's a problem. 0.94

01:39:24.100 You don't usually have to land the plane right away for some jerk, which the airlines have been doing. 0.98

01:39:32.320 These, all these incidences of these jerks on planes, that's maybe happening more often because we don't have an air marshal. 0.99

01:39:43.340 Is that logical? 0.98

01:39:46.240 Glenn, that's logical.

01:39:47.480 Look, and these have been some very serious incidents.

01:39:49.820 If you look over the last two years, just alone, where we're fighting, while we're, we know that air marshals are on the border, we've had flight attendants stabbed.

01:39:58.200 We have breaches of the cockpit.

01:40:00.320 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, what?

01:40:03.400 Yes, we've had flight, United, United flight 2609 from Los Angeles to Boston in 2022, there was a flight attendant stabbed on that aircraft.

01:40:16.000 That's correct.

01:40:17.680 How, what, what did they use?

01:40:20.080 A plastic knife?

01:40:21.900 He, he went in, we're not sure where he got it.

01:40:25.020 He made some type of homemade shank in the bathroom.

01:40:28.220 We don't know if he had it on him or did he get a spoon?

01:40:30.700 We don't know how he did this, but he made a shank. 0.98

01:40:33.300 Okay, so that happened in the last two years and we still don't know how he did that.

01:40:37.500 Okay.

01:40:38.220 And then the cockpits have been breached?

01:40:41.980 Yes.

01:40:42.400 Well, there's been level four threats that's been called out with, with the captain stating that the cockpit were, they were trying to breach the cockpit.

01:40:51.260 There's been incident after incident that has happened and every one of these incidents were normal flights, air marshals would have been on.

01:41:00.220 The long haul flights, remember, that's what Al Qaeda took our planes for when they took them.

01:41:05.360 They, they took the planes with the most fuel.

01:41:07.620 So that's East Coast to West Coast.

01:41:09.540 Those are flights we have normally would have been on, but we're not on those flights because we're at the border or we're following January, 2021 people that potentially were at the rally or at the Capitol.

01:41:20.880 That's what our duties are doing.

01:41:22.520 Your organization, you know, you represent the federal air marshals and, you know, you've, you've, you've done this.

01:41:28.900 Um, how, how worried are the air marshals, uh, about, I mean, you know, the countries at red alert, we know this, we've, we've heard it.

01:41:40.840 We've heard the, um, the, uh, uh, Homeland security say we're on high alert right now for terror.

01:41:50.700 What are they saying?

01:41:51.960 What are the actual air marshals saying?

01:41:53.980 They gotta be going crazy.

01:41:55.420 Going nuts, Glenn.

01:41:57.240 They're going nuts because this is 22 years we've been fighting.

01:42:00.680 Look, 22 years, a lot of the men and women that came over came over right after nine 11, 22 years that we have tried to prevent this from happening again.

01:42:09.580 And we are being handcuffed by this administration, totally handcuffed.

01:42:14.700 There's nothing we can do because this administration doesn't want us to do anything.

01:42:19.540 Okay.

01:42:19.660 So what do we do?

01:42:21.480 I mean, besides, we got to get out of TSA, Glenn, we got to get out.

01:42:24.740 We got to get the air marshals to a law enforcement entity.

01:42:27.720 This is what happens when you have an administrative bias, political biased association like TSA running a law enforcement program.

01:42:36.000 They weapon, they weaponize the air marshals for their political gain. 0.93

01:42:39.360 Well, we're not going to send them to the FBI or any other government institution.

01:42:42.800 I mean, I think they should be locally, you know, wherever they're living, that airport should possibly do it.

01:42:49.980 I mean, you know, San Francisco, I think, is the only airport that doesn't hire the TSA to run their security.

01:42:57.200 And they catch more things than any other airport.

01:43:00.920 And I can't believe I'm giving credit to San Francisco.

01:43:05.080 But this, you can't give it to another government agency.

01:43:10.860 Sonia, thank you so much.

01:43:12.140 I'd like to talk to you again on how we can serve you and help get our air marshals back on our planes.

01:43:21.000 Something is going to happen.

01:43:23.160 And there will be no doubt, no doubt, who exactly is responsible for terrorist activity in this country.

01:43:33.100 Name them right now.

01:43:35.920 Sonia, thank you for exposing this.

01:43:37.820 God bless you.

01:43:38.240 All right, I want to talk to you about Goldline helping you build a hedge around your financial house.

01:43:44.860 When something is, you know, going wrong with the economy, gold is the hedge against inflation, against collapse, and everything else.

01:43:55.800 I just read a stat last night.

01:43:57.940 It was staggering.

01:44:00.960 Gold is, I have to see where it is today.

01:44:04.200 But in the article that I was reading, gold's about to break the 2050 marker.

01:44:12.340 And if that happens, then it's a whole new ballgame with it.

01:44:16.520 Gold is being gobbled by China, Russia, the central banks, all over the world, except in the United States.

01:44:25.740 Why?

01:44:26.420 Please, please, please, do yourself a favor and call Goldline right now.

01:44:34.080 Please put a hedge of protection around what you have.

01:44:39.020 866-GOLDLINE.

01:44:40.640 Just ask them about gold and silver.

01:44:42.640 They've got a special going on for every 100 ounce silver bars you buy.

01:44:46.220 They're throwing in extra silver.

01:44:49.440 Just find out all about it at 866-GOLDLINE.

01:44:52.560 866-GOLDLINE or goldline.com.

01:44:56.320 10 seconds, station ID.

01:44:57.280 Where is, well, again, it always works to their advantage.

01:45:18.760 I don't think it will this time, but they have so many levers of power right now that maybe they just shut it all off.

01:45:25.480 But where is anybody thinking that you're going to be okay, politically speaking, if there's a massive terrorist attack?

01:45:36.900 Because we know who's responsible.

01:45:39.860 We know it's this administration.

01:45:41.540 We know it's a corrupt DHS.

01:45:44.260 We know it's a corrupt FBI.

01:45:46.080 Because what are they doing?

01:45:47.440 They're following January 6th.

01:45:49.920 Babies.

01:45:51.540 Babies.

01:45:52.180 And putting these guys down on the border, our planes don't have an air marshal.

01:46:00.080 When there's a terrorist that most likely came across our southern border, what do you do?

01:46:10.300 If you're a politician, because I got news for you, everybody's going to know it was your fault.

01:46:17.620 It was your fault.

01:46:18.580 You intentionally did it.

01:46:21.260 I think that's why they're working so hard on locking all social media and all independent voices down.

01:46:27.220 I have to tell you, I pray that I'm wrong about next year.

01:46:35.760 And I haven't decided how much I'm going to tell you about what I think could be coming yet.

01:46:42.060 But I am very concerned that you are going to lose many voices that you trust telling you the truth.

01:46:56.280 And over the holidays and right after the holidays, I'm meeting with some people to try to figure out what you need to know and learn and be capable of in case voices are lost next year.

01:47:16.260 But we are headed towards a year of biblical proportions, and we've got to keep our cool, and we have to be informed.

01:47:26.320 We'll do our best to keep you there at the Blaze and also on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:47:33.300 Thank you for listening to us.

01:47:35.340 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:47:37.240 When one of our service members dies or is catastrophically injured in the line of duty, who is it that helps the family pick up the pieces?

01:47:44.200 When we have veterans who have returned to this country, only to end up homeless on the streets, who's reaching out to help them get back on their feet?

01:47:53.920 Who's helping our nation keep its sacred vow to never forget the horror of 9-11?

01:47:58.960 I'll tell you, it's you.

01:48:00.660 It's you.

01:48:02.080 And it's organizations like Tunnel to Towers.

01:48:04.640 There are very few charities that I believe in.

01:48:08.240 And I talk about them on this program.

01:48:11.320 I talk about Tunnel to Towers.

01:48:13.180 I talk about Mercury One.

01:48:14.780 I talk about Preborn.

01:48:16.480 I've vetted these people.

01:48:17.900 I know.

01:48:18.680 I've seen their records.

01:48:20.600 I know their history.

01:48:22.220 I know they do what they say they do.

01:48:25.120 And that's why I support Tunnel to Towers.

01:48:28.500 They've got all kinds of programs to help the homeless veterans, to help the families of those who passed away, the cops that are shot.

01:48:37.500 They do all of it.

01:48:40.120 And they do it with your help of $11 a month.

01:48:43.120 $11 a month to Tunnel to Towers at T2T.org.

01:48:47.100 That's T, the number 2T, dot org.

01:48:50.920 And head over to blazetv.com slash Glenn.

01:48:53.440 Great Christmas present for anyone on your list.

01:48:55.660 Use the promo code Glenn and save 20 bucks.

01:48:57.920 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

01:49:09.600 We're glad you're here.

01:49:11.160 And I've got some really exciting news for you.

01:49:15.660 And thank you again for being the most incredible audience, I think, and I've done this for 50 years, and I studied radio.

01:49:29.440 You are the most generous, kindest, and active audience, I think, ever assembled in commercial radio.

01:49:42.100 Yesterday, I said that I thought we should do a, you know, a challenge.

01:49:51.300 I wanted to donate to Preborn, and I called my wife, and I said, let's make a donation of $100,000,

01:50:04.640 because $5,000 every day will cover all of everything, their operations all across the country for one day.

01:50:15.840 So I said, let's do $100,000, and I want to challenge the audience to match me so we could do 40 days and 40 nights of rescuing babies.

01:50:28.260 40 days and 40 nights, that would have been 8,000 babies, I mean, an estimate of saving 8,000 babies?

01:50:35.380 Right.

01:50:35.880 Okay.

01:50:36.600 Let me give you a couple of stats.

01:50:39.140 Since Roe versus Wade, since 1972, we've been fighting against it, and we overturn Roe versus Wade,

01:50:49.580 how many babies did they say were saved since then?

01:50:54.160 In the most recent six-month period.

01:50:57.080 Okay, most six-month period, okay.

01:50:58.640 So, like, the first six-month period after Roe versus Wade was about 10,000 babies, they believe, were saved.

01:51:03.920 Okay.

01:51:04.860 But, of course, some of the laws weren't in place in the states yet, so it's hard.

01:51:08.500 So as these states have come online with, you know, better laws protecting life,

01:51:14.320 the last six months, they said 32,000 additional births.

01:51:18.300 So I think 32,000 babies that would not have been born previously were born because of the change.

01:51:23.680 So, out of all the legal wrangling, all of the things that have happened.

01:51:27.680 Half a century.

01:51:28.740 Yeah.

01:51:29.080 Half a century.

01:51:29.780 32,000?

01:51:32.220 32,000 in six months.

01:51:33.540 In the last six months.

01:51:35.320 Worth it.

01:51:36.020 Yep.

01:51:36.300 Absolutely worth it.

01:51:37.180 Absolutely worth it.

01:51:38.160 40 days and 40 nights, we would make a dent in pushing that number forward by another 8,000.

01:51:46.700 What happened is you were unbelievably generous and two people stepped up to match my donation dollar for dollar

01:51:58.500 and match your donation dollar for dollar.

01:52:02.420 So I put in a hundred grand, somebody else said, I'll match his hundred grand, you came in and through five, ten, hundred dollar increments,

01:52:13.540 we raised one hundred and, I think the current number is one hundred and eighty three thousand dollars.

01:52:18.840 Yep.

01:52:19.060 Okay.

01:52:19.380 And then somebody else or a couple of other people came in and said, I'll match that.

01:52:25.160 So what is the total we've raised now?

01:52:28.940 Five hundred and sixty six thousand dollars.

01:52:30.360 Now here's where it gets really good.

01:52:34.680 How many days are now covered for the pro-life clinics?

01:52:41.260 The entire network covered for one hundred and thirteen days so far.

01:52:46.260 In one day.

01:52:47.300 In one day you've done this.

01:52:48.780 One day.

01:52:51.080 How many babies could possibly live because of this?

01:52:56.280 On average, it's about two hundred babies a day.

01:52:58.680 Twenty-two thousand six hundred.

01:53:02.720 So far.

01:53:04.400 Which is incredible.

01:53:05.520 An incredible number.

01:53:06.400 In a day.

01:53:06.680 In a day.

01:53:07.180 In a day.

01:53:07.980 Fifty years of legal wrangling.

01:53:09.980 Finally getting over, over versus weight overturned.

01:53:12.480 Then state laws being put into place all across the country.

01:53:15.500 And that helped thirty-two thousand babies live. 0.63

01:53:18.740 Worth every single ounce of effort to get that done.

01:53:21.620 But in this, with this audience in one day, twenty-two thousand six hundred babies.

01:53:28.700 Incredible.

01:53:30.740 Such blessings.

01:53:33.020 Such blessings.

01:53:35.340 Will happen.

01:53:37.200 Because we're trying to be good.

01:53:40.920 We're not calling people baby killers.

01:53:43.760 We're not doing any of that.

01:53:45.760 We are loving the mothers.

01:53:48.300 Helping them for two years with everything they need for the baby.

01:53:52.440 They feel completely alone.

01:53:53.840 Sixty percent of them say, I wish I didn't do it.

01:53:56.420 But I felt alone.

01:53:57.560 I had no other choice.

01:53:59.260 Because of this program, they do have another choice.

01:54:01.860 And we introduce them to their child through an ultrasound.

01:54:05.660 That doubles the chance she chooses life.

01:54:08.600 We're going to do that for 118 days?

01:54:12.360 113 so far.

01:54:13.320 113.

01:54:13.660 I think we'll get to 118 though.

01:54:14.820 I'm confident.

01:54:15.260 So that's, we're close to three 40-day and 40-night covenants.

01:54:21.600 Okay?

01:54:22.900 If you want to give, you can go to preborn.com slash beck right now.

01:54:28.500 Preborn.com slash beck.

01:54:31.120 I am overwhelmed by what is happening.

01:54:36.060 Please be a part of it.

01:54:40.240 Be a part of it.

01:54:40.820 Wouldn't it be, how many, how much money do we have to raise to get up to equal the six months?

01:54:46.520 I can do the math on that.

01:54:47.740 Do the math on that.

01:54:49.080 We were also talking about Elon Musk and we're going to run out of time.

01:54:54.280 But the Elon Musk audio yesterday, CNN is saying he said to advertisers that didn't want to advertise on X to F off.

01:55:08.700 That's not what he said.

01:55:10.320 Listen.

01:55:13.520 Do we have it?

01:55:15.100 Apology tour, if you will.

01:55:17.000 This had been said online.

01:55:18.800 There was all of the criticism.

01:55:20.500 There was advertisers leaving.

01:55:21.960 We talked to Bob Iger today.

01:55:23.140 I hope they stop.

01:55:24.500 You hope?

01:55:25.300 Don't advertise.

01:55:26.880 You don't want them to advertise?

01:55:28.020 No.

01:55:29.020 What do you mean? 1.00

01:55:31.820 If somebody's going to try to blackmail me with advertising, blackmail me with money, go f*** yourself. 1.00

01:55:40.700 But go f*** yourself. 1.00

01:55:44.200 Is that clear? 1.00

01:55:47.280 I hope it is.

01:55:49.160 Hey, Bob.

01:55:50.140 You're in the audience.

01:55:51.080 So, what was he saying?

01:55:53.760 He wasn't saying, if you don't want to advertise. 0.61

01:55:56.760 He's saying, if you want me to bend and silence people so you could pose and you won't be boycotted, screw yourself. 0.52

01:56:15.740 I'm not playing that game.

01:56:17.220 I don't want your money that badly.

01:56:18.820 This is the way Americans, all Americans, should be.

01:56:23.820 I don't want your blood money.

01:56:25.420 No, thank you.

01:56:26.220 I don't want it.

01:56:27.720 If you want me to sell my soul, because that's what's happening here.

01:56:32.600 You are selling your soul.

01:56:34.500 Every time somebody tells you to compromise, to just go along to get along.

01:56:44.640 Angel Studios is coming out with a movie on Bonhoeffer, and I can't wait.

01:56:48.780 I saw the trailer yesterday.

01:56:50.020 I can't wait.

01:56:51.940 But Bonhoeffer said, our silence in the face of evil is evil itself.

01:56:59.260 We're, by remaining silent, by not standing up, by compromising, by just letting the bullies win, it's evil what you're doing, and it will cost your soul.

01:57:12.000 So, I'm sorry, but if somebody is coming to me, and he's driven by what he really, truly believes, and I'm not saying Disney isn't.

01:57:20.800 But if you come to me with a threat, and say, you better change this, or we're going to all boycott you, we're going to destroy you, is there a bigger definition of evil than that?

01:57:38.260 I'm not selling my soul.

01:57:41.400 He's saying, I'm not going to sell my soul for, what, $55 billion.

01:57:44.540 It's a pretty high price tag, but I'm not going to sell my soul.

01:57:52.920 My number's a lot smaller than that.

01:57:59.120 It's amazing.

01:58:00.520 Tomorrow, I want to talk to you about it, because Stu and I have been talking about, he's a genius.

01:58:06.880 He's a genius of geniuses, okay?

01:58:09.700 And we rarely see these people.

01:58:12.080 But there is something to Tesla.

01:58:17.380 He picked Tesla for a reason.

01:58:20.380 And I don't think enough people, they're like, oh, yeah, well, he was, you know, an electric guy.

01:58:24.820 He wanted to electrify things, and, you know, Tesla.

01:58:28.020 No, there's a lot more to Tesla's story than that.

01:58:31.260 And I think if you really want to understand him, I could be wrong on this,

01:58:34.400 but I think if you really want to understand him, you have to understand Tesla.

01:58:39.620 You have to understand Edison, Tesla.

01:58:44.360 You have to understand Howard Hughes.

01:58:48.180 You have to understand Orson Welles. 0.97

01:58:50.640 You have to understand these people who, when their back was against the wall, went, screw you.

01:58:59.440 I'm going to talk a little bit about that tomorrow.

01:59:01.520 Yeah, it is the ultimate, you know, power, right, to be able to not care about this.

01:59:06.060 And this doesn't just come from his money.

01:59:08.100 No.

01:59:08.380 With Elon Musk.

01:59:08.980 I mean, it partially comes from money.

01:59:10.180 There's a lot of people.

01:59:11.300 There is a lot of people.

01:59:12.520 If he cared about money, he would fold.

01:59:15.660 Yeah.

01:59:16.180 And everything, everybody from his younger years says he never talked about money when he was trying to develop these ideas.

01:59:24.120 It was never the thing that drove him.

01:59:26.860 I mean, he figured eventually it would come, right, from this.

01:59:29.220 He at one point said, I will either end up incredibly wealthy or have zero dollars.

01:59:35.240 I think I've been quoted as saying that, too.

01:59:37.320 A lot closer to zero for you than him.

01:59:41.400 We'll be living the high life or I'll be living under a bridge.

01:59:46.060 But I think it's essential to understand his mindset.

01:59:48.540 You know, it's like one of the reasons why I started reading the book about him was because I don't fully understand, like, some of the stuff that happens with him.

01:59:59.080 You know, at some point I'm like, is he the most amazing businessman in the world or is he not really a good businessman at all?

02:00:04.500 Because it's really –

02:00:06.540 It's not even a criticism.

02:00:07.580 It's like he doesn't care about the business side of it in some way.

02:00:10.780 Right.

02:00:11.040 It's not exactly true because, obviously, he's built these giant companies and he's been very successful.

02:00:16.140 He's a genius.

02:00:17.600 He's just – he doesn't seem to care as much about the business side.

02:00:22.880 The priority for him is whatever mission he's decided.

02:00:27.180 And he, early on in life, believed – it was three things that he believed were really important.

02:00:33.180 One was space travel.

02:00:34.480 One was the environment.

02:00:36.020 I'm trying to think what the third one was.

02:00:38.180 I can't remember.

02:00:39.360 Wasn't chicks. 1.00

02:00:40.100 No, I don't – no, no.

02:00:42.080 Go ahead.

02:00:43.780 Again, he seemed to have participated in this book a lot.

02:00:46.880 So, I don't know how – if he would say it was completely fair.

02:00:50.220 But they definitely, you know, make him at times to be pretty rough on some of his mates throughout life.

02:00:58.740 Like, they had some pretty rough relationships with both sides.

02:01:00.820 Look at the way he was raised.

02:01:02.200 Yeah.

02:01:02.620 Seriously.

02:01:03.020 Of course.

02:01:03.580 I mean, I think it's central to who he is.

02:01:06.480 It is.

02:01:06.800 So, I mean, look, I don't think he's the easiest person to deal with.

02:01:10.200 And, you know, people in his life say that.

02:01:12.100 But, like, also, you know, that's part of the way he's been able to achieve what he's been able to achieve.

02:01:17.840 I knew a guy who was a genius.

02:01:21.960 Absolute genius.

02:01:22.880 Thanks, man.

02:01:23.560 No.

02:01:24.320 Nothing like you.

02:01:25.200 Oh.

02:01:25.640 An absolute genius.

02:01:27.480 The guy could do and think in levels you can't even imagine.

02:01:31.600 Okay?

02:01:32.040 He, so many times, would just be frustrated.

02:01:38.520 You know, I'd talk to him and he'd be like, oh, God.

02:01:41.440 No, Len.

02:01:43.180 This.

02:01:43.820 And I said to him at one point, you get tired of people talking to you who just cannot think as fast.

02:01:54.640 I don't think – I've never seen Elon talk down to people.

02:01:58.760 I mean, he may in, you know, private life.

02:02:01.160 I've never seen him in public talk down to people.

02:02:03.900 I've never seen him really frustrated.

02:02:07.740 But he's got to be.

02:02:10.380 Because he's thinking it at different levels.

02:02:14.200 And all of these press people, how frustrated are people who actually are trying to do something they believe in and then everyone around them is trying to make it about something that is so much smaller?

02:02:32.960 Right.

02:02:33.280 Your fame, your fortune, whatever, politics, you've got to just be like, oh, God, would these people shut up?

02:02:44.700 Yeah.

02:02:44.920 They just – I mean, open your mind a bit and see a bigger picture.

02:02:51.080 I – he's got to go through that a lot.

02:02:54.160 I think he does.

02:02:55.280 A lot.

02:02:55.780 I think that's definitely true.

02:02:57.340 All right.

02:02:57.660 Back in just a second.

02:02:59.520 We owe a lot to Relief Factor.

02:03:02.480 I do.

02:03:03.540 It changed my life entirely.

02:03:06.640 It turned my life from being overshadowed with pain.

02:03:13.040 You know, I just – I told one of my partners, my business partners yesterday.

02:03:17.400 I said, my best years are ahead of me yet.

02:03:20.700 And he said, oh, I know.

02:03:23.660 But he was there when I was saying, I don't know if I'm going to make it another year.

02:03:29.680 And it's – for me, I credit Relief Factor because I was at the point where I couldn't take the pain anymore and I had tried everything.

02:03:40.400 And I want to get out of pain.

02:03:42.300 You could take these drugs.

02:03:44.340 They'll get you out of pain, but you'll – you just won't care anymore.

02:03:47.640 You won't be any good.

02:03:49.640 Started taking Relief Factor.

02:03:50.840 I didn't believe it would work.

02:03:52.160 It did for me.

02:03:53.520 Please try it.

02:03:54.820 Try it.

02:04:11.840 Glenn Beck.

02:04:17.560 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

02:04:33.340 Unless you work to change – you know, my father said to me, I said, I'm not going to ever be like you.

02:04:38.800 And he said something that really pissed me off.

02:04:41.340 He's like, good.

02:04:42.860 I don't want you to be like me.

02:04:44.320 I want you to be better than me.

02:04:46.080 But you have to have an example and work for it or you'll be exactly like me.

02:04:51.560 And I don't know if – I mean, it may be why Elon pours everything into work.

02:04:57.820 You know, I don't know.

02:05:00.320 But unless he is actively seeking other direction, he will be at times just like his father.

02:05:09.580 And it's not because he's a genius and he's tired of people, but because that's the way dad raised him.

02:05:15.120 Yeah.

02:05:15.400 That stuff permeates every child at some level.

02:05:18.480 Um, there's new research out, um, and it's pretty fascinating.

02:05:22.680 Adolescents with very conservative parents are 16 to 17 percentage points more likely to be in good or excellent mental health compared to their peers with very liberal parents.

02:05:33.940 Unbelievable.

02:05:34.800 But so believable.

02:05:36.800 When you watch the way parenting occurs with these – tied to parents of these beliefs, it is so believable.

02:05:46.200 You can be anything you want.

02:05:48.360 There's no definition of anything.

02:05:52.040 Uh, you're – there's – you're living in a world where there is no forgiveness.

02:05:55.620 You know, unless you're powerful and connected to government, your savior, who wants – who thinks that's a good upbringing?

02:06:03.120 You're either oppressed to a point where you can never do anything or you're the oppressor.

02:06:08.460 Like, what kind of vision is that for kids?

02:06:11.240 None.

02:06:11.440 No wonder they're all depressed.

02:06:12.460 Yes.
