Chicken marinated for 24 hours and tossed in their blend of herbs and spices before they become cold and crispy.
00:00:19.000
Slapped between two Guyanese sweet buns that are toasted to buttery perfection.
00:00:34.500
ah, gosh, I knew this thing was possible and I just didn't pay attention.

00:01:33.500
you just don't want to be the one on that list.
00:02:42.440
And I don't know how he keeps filming these things
00:02:50.760
First of all, again on the Department of Education

00:04:57.820
I'm just reading the news of his latest proposal
00:45:56.760
Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:46:35.580
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood, and I actually mean that today.
00:46:41.260
Strangely, usually when I'm optimistic, very bad things are coming.
00:46:47.260
I don't think so. I mean, very hard things are coming, but I don't think so.
00:46:51.740
Uh, there's some amazing things going on just because of the way we voted.
00:47:02.320
Stu is on the, well, you know, I'm not going to stand in the station.
00:47:05.680
I'm on the train, but we're all going to die eventually.
00:47:09.820
And I, you know, I don't know how we switch places here.
00:47:18.100
So we're going to, I'm going to try to get him fully on the happy train.
00:47:22.160
And you too, if you're still standing at the station in 60 seconds.
00:47:25.440
First, the Ministry of Preborn is doing more right now to help champion the cause of life
00:47:31.320
For far too long, the left has told expecting mothers
00:47:34.140
that the child inside of them was nothing more than a clump of cells.
00:47:37.680
And there are so many people that want to buy into that,
00:47:45.720
That's about 68% of moms who have an abortion.
1.00
00:47:48.940
They really don't want to, but they'll buy into the lie.
00:47:52.200
Well, Preborn's network of clinics saves 200 babies every day
00:47:55.460
by offering free ultrasounds to expecting mothers,
00:47:58.420
doubling the chance that the mother is going to choose life.
00:48:03.560
And through a match, your tax deductible gift is doubled.
00:48:07.680
Preborn also supplies mothers with diapers, car seats, counseling,
00:48:14.920
I'm incredibly proud of the work that this audience has done to support Preborn.
00:48:43.860
Fight, fight, fight for the babies and their moms.
00:48:51.500
Now, Stu, let me see if I can get you to a truly happy place.
00:49:04.180
CNN is planning to wield the axe on some of its high-paid staffed after dismal election ratings
00:49:14.340
According to an explosive new report from Puck, network executives will unleash sweeping layoffs
00:49:21.960
in a bid to save the network's flailing reputation.
00:49:25.440
Chris Wallace, after his departure, amid the report, senior stars like Wolf Blitzer and Jake Tapper
00:49:38.000
Do you know how much Anderson Cooper makes a year?
00:49:45.700
What would you say is, well, it's, you know, it's okay.
00:49:52.580
I mean, Anderson Cooper's been around a long time.
00:50:04.420
I mean, what I really believe is, is probably in the neighborhood of eight to ten million dollars.
00:50:12.920
Because I think you could, because, you know, considering, and it's not even a knock on Anderson Cooper.
00:50:17.460
It's just like, you're on a network that doesn't have a lot of people watching it.
00:50:26.000
Erin Burnett has not had a moment of success in her life.
00:50:29.040
There's never been a moment where people were like, wow, the Erin Burnett show last night, you catch that?
00:50:42.580
I mean, at least you could argue Kaitlyn Collins has had some buzz around her in her life.
1.00
00:50:51.580
And she's making six million dollars a year?
1.00
00:50:56.860
You know, Anderson Cooper has done a lot in his career.
00:50:59.160
You might not like him, but he's had some accomplishments.
00:51:14.520
Like, Wolf Blitzer's had obviously a bigger career than Erin Burnett.
00:51:47.260
Well, currently, they're saying an end to big salaries at CNN.
00:51:52.780
So I just want to present this as just item number one in it's dead.
00:52:02.540
I mean, because the CNN model, by the way, is not a traditional TV model.
00:52:07.960
It's not even designed to succeed based on ratings.
00:52:12.180
It's designed like there's a prestige element with CNN.
00:52:15.940
So, like, where, like, Fox News might get five, six, seven times the ratings, they are
00:52:22.700
dealing with, you know, advertisers that are, like, you know, good companies, like companies
00:52:28.640
that support the country, but not necessarily what they call blue chip companies.
00:52:43.960
I mean, they're not all blue chip, but, like, they do that hero show every year.
00:52:55.540
You're talking about people who have accomplished things, and, like, companies want to pour money
00:53:00.400
And just so you know, the hero show is where CNN highlights heroes of the year.
00:53:16.800
So, at some level, you can understand this being a little bit out of step because of that's
00:53:25.240
But, man, that's a lot to dump into sales, especially in someone like, I hate to bring
00:53:29.340
it up, Erin Burnett, which, again, is, I mean, Erin Burnett is just like, did she just win
00:53:41.460
Anderson Cooper at $20 million a year for the next four years?
00:53:46.100
Or buying $20 million worth of Bitcoin every year for the next four years?
00:53:54.660
I mean, honestly, which one would do better things for the network?
00:54:01.900
If I'm a shareholder, I'm like, we should stop investing in that guy and start investing
00:54:08.180
But, again, I would pay Anderson Cooper $20 million a year a thousand times in a row before
00:54:29.280
I mean, Jake Tapper is making $7 million a year.
00:54:38.920
And I spent a million dollars a year on just research staff.
00:54:43.220
Because you hired staff on the outside of the company and, you know, burned all of that
00:55:22.420
It's almost as crazy as hiring Aaron Burnett for $6 million a year.
00:55:29.180
So, when I first started The Blaze, I was broke.
00:55:32.120
I mean, we took every dime I had and put it into The Blaze.
00:55:39.200
And I'm sitting in Mark Andreessen's office because I'm trying to convince Mark Andreessen's to invest in us.
00:55:52.340
He said, listen, I'm about to open something up.
00:56:16.300
And he said, you should take $10,000 right now and invest it and hold it.
00:56:37.760
It was 30 or under 30 cents a coin at that point.
00:56:51.080
Running by, let's see, point, let's say 30 cents.
00:56:58.560
So $33,333 Bitcoin times $91,400 current price.
00:57:14.440
Do you know how many times you could hire Aaron Burnett for that?
00:57:22.700
How many Aaron Burnetts could I hire at $6 million a year?
00:57:46.260
Even when you have $3 billion, Aaron Burnett, that doesn't make any sense.
00:58:05.860
Without Trump doing anything, anything, Blaze News reported last month that there were thousands,
00:58:15.500
about 150,000 foreign nationals that were making their way through Mexico, wanting to cross
00:58:23.960
Mexico was asked by the Biden administration, can you hold those guys off for just a little
00:58:29.640
When Kamala's in, you can send them our way.
0.97
00:58:39.040
Those migrants are like, ah, yeah, I'm going to go back.
1.00
00:58:42.920
I think they're going to cross the border, but the opposite direction.
00:58:48.620
This is part of just, you can solve, I don't know, 10, 20% of this just by changing your
00:58:55.540
Just by changing your tone, which Trump is absolutely going to do.
00:59:00.140
And remember what happened when Biden came in and he said, you know, we want you to,
00:59:09.100
Now, here's somebody else that has announced just because Donald Trump's victory.
00:59:12.920
You know, everybody, I'm going to move out of this country because they won't have anything
00:59:20.420
One of the richest people in the world has just announced he's moving to the U.S.
00:59:32.500
He was just granted a green card for permanent residents last month, ranked 207 in Bloomberg's
00:59:39.400
list of the 500 wealthiest people in the world.
00:59:45.860
But why would someone of great wealth move to the United States when we were talking about
00:59:57.380
Because we're not going to tax unrealized gains.
01:00:02.460
In fact, we're going to reward people who create jobs.
01:00:11.660
By the way, Canada is on high alert, braces for potential migrant surge because of Trump's
01:00:30.080
And I really am happy because I think this might speed up the absolute disdain for the
01:00:40.380
I think, you know, I think Trudeau, he's had his run.
01:00:54.680
White House steams over call for Biden to resign in a gift to Harris.
01:00:59.260
President Joe Biden has just 10 weeks left to serve as commander in chief, but some in
01:01:04.080
his own party think it might be a good idea for him to step aside ahead of inauguration
01:01:09.500
Jamal Simmons, Vice President Kamala Harris, his former communications director, suggested
01:01:14.460
over the weekend that Biden might be able to make up for past mistakes and salvage his
01:01:20.200
legacy to some degree by actually resigning and allowing the vice president to step into
01:01:25.540
a new role as the nation's first female president for the next two months.
0.98
01:01:30.640
Joe Biden, he said, has been a phenomenal president.
01:01:33.580
He's lived up to so many of the promises that he made.
01:01:36.420
There's one promise left that he can fulfill being a transitional figure.
01:01:40.360
He could resign the presidency in the next 30 days, make Kamala Harris the president of
01:01:46.120
He could absolve her from having to oversee the January 6th transition of her own defeat.
01:02:01.340
Multiple senior White House officials said they doubted Biden would consider leaving office
01:02:06.860
early with one senior Biden official noting the president wouldn't go out of his way to
01:02:15.040
gift the vice president an honor she didn't actually earn.
01:02:25.760
Second of all, you may have noted you already gave her the nomination.
01:02:37.680
The president would go out of his way to, quote, gift the vice president an honor she
01:02:49.740
At least Biden went through an election, won a primary.
01:02:53.120
Who was the, was it Sam Britton, the guy, Britton, the guy who was stealing the luggage?
01:02:57.460
I mean, do you realize how stupid that's going to look in about five years?
01:03:04.380
Do you realize that all of America, you know how you have.
01:03:10.060
But you know, those pictures that you had, you were like, I was so cool when I was in
01:03:14.860
And then you look back at the pictures and you're like, good Lord.
01:03:25.000
That's what America is going to do and say to the historians in about five years ago, can
01:03:31.020
you just not show us the pictures of this part of our life?
01:03:38.360
Oh, you mean like this picture of the guy watching the nuclear waste in a dress?
01:03:44.180
To be fair, though, I would hire Sam Britton to actually manage an airport's luggage department
01:04:05.620
By the way, Mike Huckabee, it looks like he's going to be our ambassador to Israel, which
01:04:11.000
Between the multi-front war that they've been fighting over the past year and the extreme
01:04:14.480
rise in anti-Semitism around the world, the support of America and her president will
01:04:21.080
Have you seen what's happening over in, where is it, Amsterdam?
01:04:32.480
International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is now on the ground in Israel.
01:04:35.620
Israel, helping to support a lot of Israelis who have been driven out of their homes by
01:04:38.660
the constant warfare that's been going on since October 7th of last year.
01:04:42.320
They've been building bridges between Christians and Jews for over 40 years.
01:04:45.740
I don't know this for a fact, but I will bet you they are already doing things in Europe
01:04:52.020
where the Jews are practically becoming Anne Frank.
0.90
01:05:03.620
You can help support the Jewish people who are under attack everywhere.
01:05:15.040
If you don't know enough about them, it'll say it all on their website, what they do.
01:05:32.900
So, President Trump is meeting with President Biden here in just a few minutes.
01:05:52.540
He's meeting with the Republicans, the House, right now at Capitol Hill.
01:05:57.680
And I'm sure he's going to meet with some of the Senate leaders.
01:06:02.720
You have that vote going down today on who's going to be the leader in the Senate.
01:06:09.780
Ted Cruz came out with a statement today, by the way.
01:06:12.160
It was reported earlier he was not supporting Scott.
01:06:20.820
I just looking at this call sheet odds for this.
01:06:38.000
I can't deal with Cornyn or Thune, but Cornyn really.
01:06:54.660
John Cornyn now at 9% according to call sheet.com.
01:06:58.780
Well, we'll see if the president makes his stand.
01:07:01.260
And of course, we will tell you all the goings on with Trump at the White House today.
01:07:11.260
Daily life comes to really be a grind sometimes.
01:07:14.020
You can almost never feel worse than when you haven't had a good night's sleep.
01:07:20.220
Lots of stuff on the market that you could try, but how much of it is going to leave you feeling groggy the next day?
01:07:25.120

01:08:44.220
So the president right now is meeting with the House.
01:08:49.640
I don't think he's going to meet with the Senate today, but then he's going right over to the White House, and he is going to meet with President Biden.
01:08:57.880
That is going to be an interesting photo opportunity with both of them sitting by the fireplace.
01:09:08.960
She has been the most maligned, mistreated first lady ever.
1.00
01:09:15.600
It's not like Hillary Clinton, where she inserted herself into everything and made herself a polarizing figure.
0.68
01:09:23.640
No, she just sat back and tried to be nice to people.
1.00
01:09:25.840
And tried to restore the White House back to Jackie O's original plan.
01:09:31.660
That garden she did, she got raked over the...
1.00
01:09:41.860
She restored it to the Kennedy years, and it's an abomination.
01:09:51.700
It's understandable for you to dislike a political opponent.
01:10:00.460
He is a guy who was the executive director for the Senate Steering Committee for the Senate,
01:10:07.220
He also has held positions at Pacific Legal Foundation as legal policy director, multiple
01:10:12.880
roles with the U.S. Senate, including policy director for the Senate Steering Committee,
01:10:17.180
assistant counsel for the Senate Budget Committee, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
01:10:20.700
He is now the vice president of government relations at the Heritage Foundation and an adjunct
01:10:27.120
professor at the University of Alabama School of Law.
01:10:32.320
Can you help us break down what's going to happen today with the Senate?
01:10:41.980
So what's going to happen today is they're voting this morning on who's going to be the
01:10:47.820
They're going to vote for positions all the way down from Senate leader to conference leader.
01:10:52.780
These are several positions that a lot of people don't know about.
01:10:55.060
Everybody sees the face of the majority leader.
01:11:00.200
This morning, they're giving nominating speeches.
01:11:04.040
Senators Tillis, Senator Tillis is giving the nominating speech for Senator Cornyn.
01:11:09.380
But interestingly, Senators Rubio and Hagerty are giving the speech for Rick Scott.
01:11:16.400
Now, a couple of years ago when Rick Scott ran, it was Mike Lee giving that speech for
01:11:21.840
Ron Johnson, conservative right wing, you know, troublemakers.
01:11:26.400
Now, it's our potentially next secretary of state.
01:11:32.280
Because he's in second place, according to the latest numbers, and we don't know if they're
01:11:35.860
true or not, but he is in second place behind Thune.
01:11:45.300
But what it tells me is the conference, the Republican conference has moved the way of
01:11:51.040
And even the Hill rags who don't really know what's going on in America, like your listeners
01:11:57.960
This morning, Punchbowl said, regardless of who wins, the Senate could look and act differently
01:12:03.640
next year, due in large part to Scott and Senator Mike Lee banging the drum for years
01:12:13.160
So conservatives are winning this battle no matter who becomes the leader.
01:12:22.560
Isn't he just going to be almost the same kind of guy that, what's his name was?
01:12:35.260
Yeah, that guy, that guy who's always in our way.
01:12:38.880
So Thune, I would think, would be a little bit more McConnell aligned.
01:12:43.080
Uh, that is, uh, that is his reputation, but the conference has changed so much.
01:12:49.620
Republicans have started to say, Hey, wait a minute.
01:12:55.380
Why did he put bills up negotiated in the back room on the floor with five minutes to
01:13:00.480
The conference, the Republican senators who choose the leader, they are mad about that.
01:13:06.660
So Thune is going to have to change the way business is done, even if he wins to accommodate
01:13:12.620
Or frankly, he may not last as long as McConnell did.
01:13:18.280
I mean, McConnell, I think is an eternal, uh, figure at this point.
01:13:22.780
I don't remember a time really when McConnell wasn't, uh, in charge of things.
01:13:27.460
Um, so what does the vote mean for, for Thune that the majority still is kind of on the fence
01:13:35.700
and they just kind of want business as usual kind of, but not totally business as usual.
01:13:43.660
There's so many factors that go into this, you know, it's, it's really a small institution.
01:14:02.060
What are you going to do to make my life better?
01:14:04.540
And for a select few, it comes down to certain issues.
01:14:07.880
So a vote for Thune could be about fundraising.
01:14:11.300
It could be about personal relationship, or it could be about his position on a select
01:14:15.220
few issues that, you know, maybe more swampy Republicans want to get a deal on some earmark
01:14:24.120
What do you say to the call for this should be in open air?
01:14:31.320
I would like to know where senators stand on this.
01:14:41.700
Because imagine, you know, at your workplace, you get to vote on who gets the promotion.
01:14:45.520
You have to select from three of your friends, and then you have to work with that person.
01:14:50.180
You didn't vote for the guy that got the promotion.
01:14:52.620
Sorry, you're not getting that vacation time you wanted.
01:14:54.980
But there's certainly an element of retribution, and it protects senators to actually be able
01:15:00.460
to vote their conscience for someone like Rick Scott if they don't face retribution for
01:15:07.940
Now, they could still, because they've come out publicly for him, and that's a brave stand.
01:15:13.020
What do you—why do you think Donald Trump hasn't weighed in on this at all?
01:15:17.100
I mean, it would be Scott if he just said, this is who I want.
01:15:26.780
I certainly think he could move the conference if he did, but he has the same dynamic these
01:15:33.880
So what he did is he said, I want the winner, whoever it is, to commit to moving my nominations
01:15:43.120
And if you don't, I want you to do recess appointments.
01:15:46.900
He made it about how the place is run and fulfilling his agenda, rather than about personalities.
01:15:57.920
When you look at this, if Trump—he's got to have the Senate move and move quickly.
01:16:10.840
If you have a Thune and he begins to become an obstructionist, does the president have the
0.65
01:16:20.760
ability to say, J.D. Vance, go in there and take control of the Senate and do what John
01:16:30.960
There is a little known procedure in the Senate that gives the majority leader the right to
01:16:40.160
The person sitting in the chair at the front of the room.
01:16:44.920
Anybody else sitting in that chair is borrowing his seat.
01:16:47.660
He can walk in the room, kick them out, take the seat, and recognize whoever he wants who
01:16:52.920
is going to move his—President Trump's nominees so he can actually decide, really, who's running
01:17:04.280
There was talk in the last Trump administration of doing this.
01:17:08.560
I ultimately don't know why they decided not to.
01:17:11.240
There's always a negotiation about these kind of things.
01:17:14.100
Having the threat of doing that is certainly powerful, and maybe Pence just wasn't comfortable
01:17:21.760
J.D. would probably be a lot more comfortable with that.
01:17:28.100
Since you're an attorney, and this is unfair to spring on you here, but I don't know if
01:17:32.480
you've seen the Doge announcement that came out yesterday from Donald Trump about cutting
01:17:44.620
This is just a thought experiment at this point.
01:17:47.080
But if we wanted to fire half of the administration, we can do it just by holding a lottery, and
01:17:55.920
We pull one from a bowl, and if it says odd, then everybody whose Social Security number
01:18:06.320
That way we don't have any litigation or anything else.
01:18:13.300
You know, I don't know the legal ins and outs of that idea, but certainly the federal government
01:18:21.320
And that would probably need some funding decisions from Congress.
01:18:25.880
But at the end of the day, the president can take that money and, you know, it's assigned
01:18:31.860
by Congress to certain things, but he can decide how to execute on that.
01:18:36.880
And if he doesn't have the right people in there, if government's too big, which we think
01:18:41.200
it is, we know it is, then he should have the ability to do mass layoffs like any company
01:18:48.640
Right, and if the executive is not in charge of the executive branch of all of the cabinet
01:18:57.940
and all of the agencies, then he works for the people that haven't been elected, not
01:19:09.840
It's putting the administrative state in charge of the government, which is the entire problem
01:19:15.280
that we have right now with the executive branch.
01:19:17.420
So the president needs the ability to decide who is executing on his agenda and whether
01:19:27.640
I think they're going in to vote right now, Clint, or was it last hour?
01:19:35.440
They're voting right now for the Senate, I believe, or at least the process begins right
01:19:53.820
I think it's because of Donald Trump not saying anything about Scott.
01:20:01.420
It's a nice thought here in the next few months.
01:20:04.220
We finally won't have to be worrying quite as much about the disasters coming at us from
01:20:11.360
It's nice to have that off our plate, but it is still going to be a real battle.
01:20:15.540
But there's still kinds of there's other things that that could be coming at us.
01:20:22.680
You can prepare for whatever could come your way.
01:20:26.180
I think the idea of cutting the federal government by 50 percent, that's going to take a lot of
01:20:37.460
You're going to have to be responsible for yourself.
01:20:39.400
You're going to have to take care of yourself and your neighborhood when it comes to breakdowns
01:20:45.020
of anything, especially relationships with like China.
01:20:48.820
We rely on China for 80 percent of our generic medication.
01:20:52.820
Preparing now is the only recourse we have in case something happens to that critical supply
01:20:59.260
The Jace case is a personalized emergency medication kit that that contains essential antibiotics
01:21:04.840
and medications that treat most common and deadly bacterial infections.
01:21:54.840
Now, what started as a trend on TikTok for women to shave their heads in protest of the
0.97
01:22:01.020
election results has become somewhat more sensitive as a top of a topic for others with alopecia
01:22:08.180
and those who have to shave their heads because of cancer conditions where baldness isn't exactly
01:22:16.020
To the women shaving their head for the 4B movement, you say you're shaving your head
1.00
01:22:21.860
But does that mean that men shouldn't want women who have struggled with the loss of their
01:22:29.660
See, this makes me happy inside because I'm for the chemo patients and the alopecia patients.
01:22:37.180
OK, your sick actions are very selfish, and it's only affecting the women who have struggled
01:22:49.800
I'm I'm bald because my body hates me, not because I hate men.
01:22:53.960
Justice for the alopecia baddies and their hair loss community.
1.00
01:22:58.040
Now, this started with a woman who said she woke up feeling spicy and she took a razor and
01:23:04.060
clippers to say F, F being all things that the patriarchy wants us to be because clearly
01:23:18.400
Sydney and the city said she took the clippers to her head and shaved it all off in order to
01:23:30.260
It was a rebellion, a loud, intentional in your face protest against the patriarchy and
01:23:39.220
For far too long, women have been conditioned to believe that their worth is wrapped up in
1.00
01:23:45.320
That's ridiculous because clearly it's either your boobs or your butt.
1.00
01:23:49.400
That's I mean, I mean, if you want to be honest about what guys they're not going, oh, my gosh,
01:23:59.660
But I mean, if we're all going to be piggish, let's go down that road.
1.00
01:24:05.680
This is me taking back the narrative, redefining beauty on my own terms and pushing myself.
01:24:12.940
The step beyond the confines of societal expectation.
01:24:16.620
Shaving my head wasn't about rejecting femininity.
01:24:19.000
It was about defying the idea that our femininity needs validation through the lens of male approval.
01:24:40.020
So they can look at each other, you know, alone by themselves, walking around, kicking rocks,
01:24:45.580
wondering why they're so alone with their cat all the time.
01:24:48.340
And they'll be like, there's another person just like me.
01:24:58.800
Somebody who really has a distorted view of life.
01:25:13.160
The 4B movement, by the way, is what they all claim to be a part of.
01:25:17.480
As the 4B movement stipulates, four no's, no sex with men, no giving birth, no dating men, and no marriage with men.
0.91
01:25:33.720
Fits right in with a liberal agenda, doesn't it?
01:25:42.220
She's going to, I want to talk to her about a couple of things.
01:25:45.080
The cooking of the books, what's coming our way, and the new possible Secretary of the Treasury.
01:26:00.920
When you purchase products made in America by American Giant, you're casting a vote for American manufacturing, American workers, for American quality, American jobs.
01:26:08.680
Expecting the Chinese government to care about our country is really pretty ridiculous.
01:26:15.820
They've shown us who they are, and it's time for us to believe them, and it's time for us to reinvest in America.
01:26:21.880
You'll be sending America a message that American manufacturing matters.
01:26:32.680
We need to get back to the independent spirit of American manufacturing, and American Giant clothing is 100% American.

Let's talk a little bit about the possible Treasury secretaries and who we should have next.
01:27:06.280
Let's talk a little bit about the possible Treasury secretaries and who we should have next.
01:27:30.500
Welcome to the Fusion of Entertainment and Enlightenment.
01:27:57.700
I think what we got was a load of bullcrap with all of the numbers.
01:28:02.200
I think we're going to figure that one out pretty soon.
01:28:06.780
And who is he going to put in charge of the Treasury?
01:28:14.660
Carol Roth is here to chime in on some of the people he's thinking about.
01:28:23.660
2024 feels like it's been about a million years long, doesn't it?
01:28:32.080
You've got a month and a few days until Christmas.

01:28:57.600
And I have to tell you, getting those pictures out of my aunt's hands,
01:29:03.380
She's like, you swear to me these will come back.

01:29:38.760
Well, let's say hello to the one and only Carol Roth.
01:29:51.640
And I don't want anybody to knock me down from the street.
01:29:53.760
But I'm feeling like we finally have everything I have asked for in a leader.
01:30:00.260
Somebody who is pointing to the horizon and giving us a huge goal like JFK did.
01:30:06.260
We're going to go to the moon and come back within 10 years.
01:30:09.040
I think with the Doge announcement yesterday, I think he's saying, I'm going to cut the regulations.
01:30:19.040
And I'm going to give the Constitution and the government back to the people by July 4, 2026, which is our 250th birthday.
01:30:34.600
Because I know that you're usually a contrarian.
01:30:36.720
You're the person who gets on the boat and looks for the exits.
01:30:39.620
Like, are you dealing with all this optimism okay?
01:30:49.520
For 15, 20 years, I have been just seeing the burning down.
01:30:53.860
And I recognize that this is not going to be easy.
01:31:05.500
But from now until, you know, things get ugly, I think we should enjoy this time and, you know, mentally prepare.
01:31:20.080
We have had such a weight on our shoulders, like you said, for a couple of decades.
01:31:24.340
And it's really accelerated in the last five years.
01:31:28.200
And the fact of the matter is that now we do have optimism.
01:31:34.860
And as you said, it's not an easy path to navigate.
01:31:38.000
It's one that is full of, you know, pebbles and rocks and barriers.
01:31:52.840
We do have to, you know, hope for the best and, you know, make that optimism self-fulfilling.
01:31:57.940
Do what we can to push forward this opportunity for the American dream to be seized by everybody.
01:32:03.720
Okay, I don't believe anybody's appointment until you see it on Truth Social, okay?
01:32:10.220
He, I personally think he is, he's checking the boat for leaks right now, you know?
01:32:16.800
I think some of these names are just being said, oh, you know, the only person I told was you.
01:32:23.040
So he's checking his own boat for leaks, I think.
01:32:26.080
But one of the names being touted and thrown around for the Treasury pick is somebody I don't know.
01:32:41.920
Besant, Besant, Besant, Besant, Besant, Besant.
01:32:47.460
So obviously the Treasury Secretary pick, let's just put it on the table, is going to be better
01:32:57.580
Yeah, you, a sock puppet, a random name out of a phone book, whatever it is, is going to
01:33:04.220
The Trump administration tends to go for the jockeying of the billionaires and the Wall Street
01:33:11.560
Scott Besant is interesting because he is not necessarily famous, but he is famous for
01:33:22.280
So I'm going to set it up and everybody's going to go, ah, and then let me walk it back
01:33:28.380
So he was, um, he started early in his career at the Soros Funds and he ended up being the
01:33:37.320
CIO of the Soros Fund and the likely successor to George Soros, which I know right now everybody
01:33:44.480
just fell over in their chairs and has a cold sweat running down.
01:33:48.840
What I need to tell you about that is that it's almost like separating the art from the
01:33:55.260
You know, there are all these bad people who, you know, you, you enjoy their art, but you
01:33:59.100
don't like the people they're associated with or, you know, that kind of a thing.
01:34:02.900
George Soros for, I would, I would say that he is a repugnant human being, but I'm not sure
01:34:14.880
But in financial circles, if you put that aside, he is an incredibly savvy, astute investor
01:34:22.740
and the best of the best people on wall street have been associated with Soros at different
01:34:28.740
points in time, including one of my favorite billionaires.
01:34:31.580
Cause we all have always have to have our favorite billionaires on wall street, a gentleman
01:34:34.520
by the name of Stanley Druckenmiller, who is probably the most common sense, rational,
01:34:40.920
like fantastic guy that, you know, honestly, we would all love him to be in the administration,
01:34:45.980
but he's, I think a bit older, but he was the one, he was basically Scott Besson was Stanley
01:34:51.020
Druckenmiller's protege at Soros, his quantum fund.
01:34:54.140
They did in the early nineties, you may have heard about this infamous bet against the British
0.88
01:35:05.340
And from a political standpoint, he has pushed back against George Soros.
01:35:09.520
I think the, the most famous time was in 2014 when Soros got pressure from his allies to
01:35:17.980
And Scott Besson went into his office with a team of people and said, if you do this,
01:35:25.100
And so that to me says, this is somebody who's willing to stand up for his principles.
01:35:31.720
Um, and you know, not let who somebody like George Soros, who, you know, again, you're
01:35:40.840
And so I think that should give people, I'm not saying take it, you know, he's, you know,
01:35:46.360
that you should throw away every reservation that you have, but he's somebody who's proven
01:35:50.920
that he does not approve of Soros is, and is very unlikely to be, you know, a puppet as
01:36:02.320
I mean, we've got to cut all of this DEI crap, all of this public private partnership bull
01:36:09.500
crap, all of that, that has been laid deep into the treasury department.
01:36:14.540
Is he a guy that will recognize that and come in and just cut it all out?
01:36:18.560
We can't, we cannot have a halfway person.
1.00
01:36:24.040
Yeah, no, he is a no nonsense, nuts and bolts, doesn't want any of this, you know, stuff that
01:36:33.700
I think my biggest concern, and this is going to sound very funny, is that the guy's too
01:36:39.240
This may be the smartest person that we have for treasury secretary, you know, potentially
01:36:45.700
And the issue with that is that he may be unchecked, that his ideas are so sophisticated.
01:36:51.680
This is somebody who understands currencies, who understands central banks, who's dealt
01:36:57.320
I mean, he has so much domain experience in all of these different areas, which is very
01:37:03.220
Usually you're kind of a specialist in one area that he may have an idea and nobody else
01:37:08.520
is going to be there to go, well, you know, why are you going in this direction or whatnot?
01:37:14.040
He said a couple of kind of crazy things that I just put on your radar.
01:37:17.760
One is that my biggest red flag is that his favorite treasury secretary was Robert Rubin,
01:37:23.900
who was the treasury secretary under President Clinton, who repealed the key provisions of
01:37:29.320
glass deal that allowed commercial banks to go into investment banking, which we all know
01:37:35.760
So he is going to be somebody who probably leans into bank deregulation.
01:37:41.320
Um, he has come up with the idea of having a shadow fed to basically, uh, reduce Jerome
01:37:49.000
Powell's power, which, you know, as you may think, well, that sounds like a great idea until
01:37:53.460
you realize if you can do that under Trump, you can do that under anyone else.
01:37:57.020
And I think that's a very bad precedent and could create a lot of, um, consternation in
01:38:03.680
And then the third one is that he has this three, three, three plan.
01:38:08.220
It's not the nine, nine, nine plan that, you know, we used to have from Herman Cain.
01:38:11.260
It's the three, three, three plan that was, he said was based on Shinzo Abe, uh, of Japan,
01:38:20.700
And it sounds different, but, but Shinzo Abe's plan is not one we would want here because it's
01:38:26.020
very much, uh, you know, fed intervention, fiscal stimulus from the government, as well as
01:38:32.880
Now he's saying his three, three, three plan is going to be different.
01:38:36.520
He wants to reduce, uh, the deficits to GDP to less than half of what they are.
01:38:42.520
He wants to increase GDP growth, three percent on a, an ongoing basis.
01:38:47.360
And he wants to tamp down on inflation by producing three built, uh, three million barrels
01:38:54.320
So as long as it, you know, that it was inspired, but it's not the same.
01:38:58.840
So I think those are the kinds of things that you have to kind of get in the weeds.
01:39:02.880
But he's certainly somebody who understands the issues we face, which by the way, are
01:39:08.720
They have left us a huge mess, the Biden Harris administration in terms of our fiscal foundation.
01:39:13.600
And by the way, refinancing $13 trillion of debt over the next four years, as well as any
01:39:24.460
And so I would say, guys, don't focus on the Soros connection here, focus on the policy.
01:39:30.760
And is this person maybe a little bit too smart for the position?
01:39:36.360
Cause I, I, I read something from Ed Dowd, uh, today and he said, we have been handed,
01:39:43.540
uh, uh, uh, a book, a record book of fraudulent, uh, you know, records of, of the economy.
01:39:53.000
He says it's all a fraud and he thinks we are in real trouble.
01:39:59.940
And I'd like to talk to you about that here in just a second.
01:40:03.420
As far as my dog Uno is concerned, I am the master of the house and he's a German shepherd.
01:40:09.000
He doesn't even speak English, uh, you know, and I don't speak German and you know, when
01:40:13.480
Germans get into the house, they think they run the place, et cetera, et cetera.
01:40:16.980
But at least somebody in the house thinks I'm running the show.
01:40:22.560
Anyway, as the master of this dog, at least I tried to make sure that he's leading the
01:40:29.200
And a big part of that is giving him rough greens, not a dog food.
01:40:32.440
It's a supplement developed by naturopathic, Dr.
01:40:34.420
Dennis black that you sprinkle on the dog's food.
01:40:36.440
It contains all of the good stuff that your dog needs.
01:40:38.660
Things like probiotics and antioxidants, because remember brown food is dead food.
01:40:44.120
The folks at rough greens are so confident that your dog is going to love rough greens.
01:40:48.760
Just go to rough greens, r u f f greens.com slash back.

01:41:20.980
And I'm not saying we're going to go into a Great Depression, but I'm not not saying.
01:41:36.340
All right, so we're with Carol Roth, and we're looking at something that they say could be as bad as 1982 that we're going in,
01:41:52.940
because the data that they have given us is all wrong.
01:41:57.280
They cooked the books over the last few years, and that's going to become very, very apparent soon.
01:42:04.260
So Trump is walking into a much worse situation than the media and the government have led anybody to believe.
01:42:13.540
So I don't know if you remember, Glenn, probably about four months ago, there was like a whole slew, I don't remember the numbers, pick it,
01:42:21.860
17 Nobel economists that came out with a piece, and they said,
01:42:26.200
if Trump gets in, he is going to crash the economy and increase inflation and do all of these things.
01:42:34.100
And at the time, I flagged that piece, and I said, they are setting this up because they know the reality of what's ahead.
01:42:41.000
And so they want to be on the record to say, I told you so, for something that they knew 100% was happening and wasn't Trump's fault.
01:42:51.960
I mean, we know we're in a very tenuous financial situation.
01:42:55.900
We know that the illusion of growth has been propped up with government spending,
01:43:00.820
which is why I've said we have to be careful here.
01:43:03.440
We have this very delicate balance that we need desperately to cut our deficits and to cut government spending
01:43:10.300
and to have our Doge office do wonderful things.
01:43:13.600
But we have to do it in a way that is measured against promoting additional growth in the private sector
01:43:21.320
and doing that in a very careful manner, because that can get ugly very quickly.
01:43:25.780
But if we cut the size of government, let's say by half, so you are firing a lot of people.
01:43:37.040
But I think it's worth all biting the bullet for that one.
01:43:40.740
But then you're also cutting regulation, which will spur business.
01:43:48.700
If you could get even the corporate tax rate down to 20%, I'd like it lower than that, but 20%,
01:43:58.300
And that alone should inspire a lot of business and startup business.
01:44:06.580
We we've almost crushed the entrepreneur and we need all that's that's where our growth always comes from.
01:44:17.680
I mean, you know that this is my area of expertise, small business.
01:44:21.140
There's more than 33 million small businesses in the country already on top of any new that might get started,
01:44:28.520
but that are because of regulation, we had one point seven trillion dollar regulatory burden that came out of the Biden-Harris administration,
01:44:39.280
We're still we know we're we're heading into the end of the year here.
01:44:42.460
We're trying to get the Trump administration to come out to say that they're going to repeal this beneficial ownership information rule,
01:44:49.140
because that deadline is coming very, very quickly, which is giving a lot of small businesses pause.
01:44:57.100
We have the the flexible work, which Trump was very much in favor of independent contractor work and gig work.
01:45:04.780
And the Biden-Harris administration under overturned all of those rules.
01:45:08.340
So those will probably be restored and hopefully strengthened in a way to support independent contractor work.
01:45:14.980
So, yes, there are all of these good things, but it is a choreography.
01:45:20.460
When you invest capital, it takes time to see the growth from the investment.
01:45:25.260
And that's why we need to be careful, because if we all of a sudden, like you said,
01:45:28.840
put all of these people out of work and don't have some sort of a transition plan or find a way to model this out correctly,
01:45:36.060
and there's a time lag, then that creates a whole new set of issues that we could could potentially be facing.
01:45:42.780
So this is why this is the most critical thing.
01:45:45.420
We need very strong people who don't just have the ideas and can see the long term impacts,
01:45:50.620
but they can measure that choreography because you have to do it in the right way.
01:45:55.820
Otherwise, you end up in a no good deed goes unpunished situation.
01:46:01.560
This goes back to our treasury markets, you know, which is, you know, the bastion of safety, supposedly for the entire world.
01:46:08.920
All of these things could go sideways that could create its own set of issues.
01:46:14.100
And then everything else is off the table because you have to deal with this emergency that was self-created in the spirit of doing something great.
01:46:30.820
But we need to be able to make these cuts at the same time.
01:46:34.440
And then we have to also manage through the potential inflation that has been, again, I believe, hidden and pushed out by the existing administration.
01:46:50.100
I mean, it took Ronald Reagan at least a couple of years to turn things around.
01:46:53.740
If Donald Trump did what he says, and I don't know how much of this he can get done, but he is talking about dropping every regulation that wasn't voted on by Congress.
01:47:06.700
So slashing that would be phenomenal for growth.
01:47:11.380
And if he cuts the income tax as dramatically as he says he's going to, how fast would it take?
01:47:21.280
Well, how long would it take before we'd actually really start to see that turning?
01:47:28.620
Well, here's the comparison you're making to Reagan.
01:47:30.820
The difference between us today and under Reagan is under Reagan debt to GDP was about 30 percent.
01:47:43.140
If we didn't have that, this plan goes into place and probably, you know, is able to make a difference, you know, maybe in 12 to 18 months.
01:47:52.380
But because we have to manage what this means for our fiscal foundation and by the way, the Globes fiscal foundation, it's going to take a lot longer to get this done.
01:48:03.080
So people need to be patient because this is going to be a process.
01:48:17.140
And I still believe I'm still believe those things are coming, but I was hoping we were going to do it quickly.
01:48:40.660
In this time of inflation, which hopefully will be coming to an end in the next 18 months, please, please know that we have to lock in a price on just about everything because everything is going to jump up in price.
01:48:56.200
It is the fact that we have a chance that it starts to fall is a miracle.
01:49:03.100
Right now, if you have a car that's no longer covered by a warranty, you should really use some sort of insurance, if you will.
01:49:13.860
You need some insurance or assurance, at least, that you're not going to lose your shirt in the process.

We have a great program tonight, tonight on our Wednesday night special.
01:50:26.660
America's given Donald Trump and GOP a historic mandate.
01:50:33.700
The election was much more than just dinner table issues, the cost of living, gas, and everything else.
01:50:41.020
We all felt something disturbing about the state of the country.
01:50:44.280
There is a cancer in this nation, and we voted in record numbers to elect President Trump to excise that cancer.
01:50:59.740
Tonight, we're starting a series that looks at everywhere this cancer has spread within our country.
01:51:05.340
Identifying where we want Trump to come in and just start cutting.
01:51:10.220
We begin with the country's eyes and ears, censorship, and the American propaganda complex known as legacy media.
01:51:18.840
Tonight, in chapter one of this series, I'm going to take you back half a century to where all of this started.
01:51:24.880
The biggest progressive minds in the country found out how to brainwash and indoctrinate a select elite class.
01:51:33.140
And as of today, I'll show you how they control over 90% of the information that we consume every single day.
01:51:39.840
Don't miss the Wednesday night special tonight, a beginning of a fantastic series.
01:51:50.220
Blaze TV, Thursday on my YouTube channel, youtube.com slash Glenn Beck.
01:52:01.640
Sarah is sitting there with her headphones on, so I know she has a comment to make.
01:52:08.100
You had mentioned earlier that one of the reasons the Democrats lost was because they weren't challenged enough.
01:52:19.060
Let me explain that in case you don't know what she's talking about.
01:52:26.060
You know, when you go exercise, they tell me, you know, good exercise.
01:52:33.380
That's because you've torn the muscles and they're healing again, but they're also growing.
01:52:37.780
You have to tear and grow and tear and grow and tear and grow.
01:52:40.100
So this is this is something the Democrats have never felt that pain, at least in the last 15 to 20 years.
01:52:54.320
They haven't had to think things through because they haven't really, truly been challenged.
01:53:10.200
So from your book, Propaganda Wars, it kind of leads to we just believe what the government tells us.
01:53:17.880
So I think instead of challenging, it's more they weren't questioned.
01:53:27.240
And then it comes out later because we believe this propaganda.
01:53:37.840
But you kind of laid it out brilliantly that it's just ask.
01:53:40.820
And then when you find the answer, you ask and make sure that's still good.
01:53:44.180
And you just continue asking until you find the correct answer from a good source.
01:53:48.220
Well, I think we but my point is because we're it's it's unusual to naturally ask if you're right, because you want to be right.
01:54:00.240
And if you have no pain, you know, nobody's going to listen to a missionary.
0.78
01:54:05.260
That's why missionaries always go to places like Africa, because they're they they need answers in their life.
01:54:13.800
You don't see missionaries doing real well on Wall Street unless the market has just collapsed.
01:54:22.660
So unless you train yourself to ask, you only ask, well, wait a minute.
01:54:31.040
And so we've had to ask ourselves because we've been called all kinds of names now that they're out of power.
01:54:37.860
But are they have they experienced enough pain yet to say, OK, what what role did I play in this?
01:55:01.180
It certainly doesn't seem like they ever get there.
01:55:08.060
It's kind of special, students, kind of just for you.
01:55:17.000
She said that she's the real outsider, not the establishment, because she struggles to just like the average person.
01:55:29.680
She said she wouldn't be co-hosting the talk show if she could afford financially to not host it.
01:55:39.940
You have a net worth of about 60 million dollars.
01:55:43.120
She makes, you ready for this, six million dollars.
1.00
01:55:50.280
Some would say because that's exactly the salary of Erin Burnett at CNN.
1.00
01:55:57.380
But Whoopi Goldberg makes six million dollars a year.
01:56:01.020
And she she says, I'm struggling just like everybody else.
01:56:13.460
You know, yes, we have to get up, be here on time.
01:56:33.300
She she'd like to stop working, but she can't.
0.85
01:56:38.700
In fact, I think people would pay her seven million to stop.
1.00
01:56:42.400
I think she could easily get a GoFundMe going.
1.00
01:56:46.480
But like, again, like she is she was in she was a star of hit movies in her life.
01:56:56.280
You can at least understand how she got the job.
01:57:05.260
No, I just don't understand this an hour ago and Stu won't let it go that, you know,
01:57:11.440
they're talking about, you know, Anderson Cooper makes 20 million dollars a year.
01:57:15.600
And CNN is like, we've got to shave some, you know, some M's off of these off of these
01:57:24.960
You know, they on election night, we had more people watching us than CNN.
01:57:45.380
They don't even have the trapped airport people to watch them anymore.
01:57:49.260
That was the key to their success for a long time.
01:57:53.380
That's what I that's the sort of business you need to get into where people are trapped
01:58:02.520
in America, every every place where people are in a coma.
01:58:27.100
I'm going to take a break there for just a second.
01:58:35.280
This is, by the way, America's number one daily fantasy sports app.
01:58:45.120
The Philadelphia Eagles take on the Washington Redskins.
01:59:00.380
But like, you know, you add a little bit of extra flavor when you when you hang out with
01:59:03.540
prize picks because they've got these huge promotions.
01:59:07.720
They will discount player projections up to 25 percent.
01:59:11.820
You've got they've got the injury insurance where if your player gets injured in the first
01:59:16.580
half, they will make sure you get covered because a lot of times that happens and you just get
01:59:19.900
you get messed up and, you know, your lineup is ruined.
01:59:27.700
And all you got to do is pick a player and they give you a stat projection.
01:59:33.360
You can combine them with several in a row and you can win like up to 100 times your money.
01:59:41.280
And I will say you might say, well, I don't want to lose.
01:59:42.780
Well, let me give you a little proposition here.
01:59:44.920
But price picks, if you go there today, use the code stew.
01:59:48.400
You can get 50 bucks instantly when you play only five bucks.
01:59:52.460
The code is stew on price picks to get 50 bucks instantly when you play only five bucks.
01:59:56.540
You don't even have to win to receive the $50 bonus.
02:00:08.220
Subscribe to the Glenn Beck podcast anywhere podcasts are found.
02:00:37.180
So I just want to point out that Bitcoin is at $93,000.
02:00:46.560
Glenn, we've had a terrible, tragic falling to 92,600.
02:01:02.480
It probably should go to about 50 or 60 the next time it falls, right?
02:01:12.540
I will say one of the things that's interesting about Bitcoin going forward is Trump is basically
02:01:17.000
one of the things he's talked about with crypto was taking a bit, getting a Bitcoin reserve.
02:01:21.240
The United States is already one of the largest holders of Bitcoin because.
02:01:24.860
We just get them from drug dealers and everything else.
02:01:32.040
You know, Trump is like, why don't we just hold on to them, have a reserve.
02:01:36.660
But if he has, if there's an official U.S. policy to have a Bitcoin reserve, right, which
02:01:42.360
I think is very plausible in the next few years, if Trump, you know, believes in this
02:01:49.060
If that happens, doesn't like every other country wind up following us on that?
02:01:54.300
When the United States takes a big step like that and says, we're going to have a reserve
02:01:57.720
of Bitcoin, doesn't France, doesn't Russia, doesn't China, don't they all get on board?
02:02:03.560
Because they all know if they're getting in, I can get in now and it will rise.
02:02:11.180
If I get in quickly after the United States government says they're going to get into
02:02:15.560
it and reserve it and keep it, it will ensure that the price doesn't fall as dramatically.
02:02:24.220
You know, if we have 250,000 Bitcoin, I don't know how many we have, but we have a lot.
02:02:31.220
So we get, we dump that on the market, then it's going to, that would drop Bitcoin down.
02:02:36.960
But if we hold all of our Bitcoin, that's going to keep the price.
02:02:40.760
And knowing that, that stabilizes everything, more people will invest in it.
02:02:46.060
I mean, is it possible 30, 40, 80, 100 countries wind up doing something similar if we actually
02:02:53.020
It is, if Donald Trump does what he says, I believe Bitcoin could be from half a million
02:03:14.440
If I just wouldn't have listened to Warren Buffett.
02:03:20.240
Warren Buffett said, remember after the dot com crash?
02:03:23.380
He said, look, if you can't explain it, if you don't understand it, it's probably too
02:03:34.840
I asked Mark Andreessen, can you explain that to me?
02:03:39.740
And I'm like, you know, Warren Buffett said, shut up.
02:03:51.540
Three billion dollars if I would have done what I was told by a very smart guy to do.
02:03:58.380
Gosh, that's because that beats out your initial story of Clear Channel stock.
02:04:06.480
So back in the day, Glenn got offered a contract and was offered stock in Clear Channel, which
02:04:14.380
is the radio company that now syndicates the program, you know, parent company.
02:04:22.080
Like $10,000 or something instead of the stock, which then wound up being worth millions and
02:05:03.280
And look, you know, Bitcoin's been Bitcoin again.
02:05:08.940
Every single person who has ever purchased Bitcoin and held on to it is currently up.
02:05:14.100
You know, the guy who said, remember he bought the pizza for like, I don't remember what
02:05:33.520
Um, uh, this guy who did the pizza says he doesn't regret it.
02:05:40.180
I mean, what if he only gave him 400 Bitcoin and he kept a hundred of them, by the way,
02:05:44.620
500 Bitcoin, $46 million right now for two pizzas.
02:05:51.680
It's not like he got them shipped in from Pepe's.
02:05:55.540
It was just like Papa John's, two Papa John's, $46 million.
02:06:00.580
Now the guy who took the Bitcoin in, it was cause this is the first ever, uh, transaction
02:06:10.460
But, uh, the, the guy who took the Bitcoin for the pizza also didn't keep it until now
02:06:21.760
There's a guy who worked here at one point who had a roommate who, you know, bought it
02:06:25.320
at like $10 and sold it at a hundred and bought like a used SUV.
02:06:36.940
So let me give you a, let me give you something.
02:06:39.000
You know, did you hear Elon Musk recently say, I've only heard him say it once that X is going
02:06:44.700
to be full service and it will eventually, he, he said, people don't understand it because
02:06:48.680
they'll confuse it with a bank, but it won't be a bank, but all transactions will be done.
02:07:05.500
Uh, it might be one of those that you, you hold, uh, I don't know.
02:07:10.520
It doesn't have the same kind of, you know, limitation that really drives the price up,
