The Glenn Beck Program - The ‘Respect for Marriage Act’ Could Destroy Religious Freedom | Guest: Daniel Horowitz | 11/30/22 Aired: 2022-11-30 Duration: 02:04:41 === Marxism and the Destruction of Family (14:55) === [00:00:00] I have a dog that's about 80 years old, Miles, President Miles. [00:00:04] He moves a little quicker, though, than Joe Biden. [00:00:06] I don't know if you've noticed that. [00:00:07] A little bit. [00:00:08] At least since Rough Greens. [00:00:09] I think Joe Biden maybe should try Rough Greens. [00:00:12] This is a controversy. [00:00:13] Is there something in the food? [00:00:16] Yeah, he's freaking. [00:00:17] He's not going to notice. [00:00:17] No. [00:00:18] I mean, it's all mush anyway, I'd assume. [00:00:19] It's ice cream. [00:00:20] It's ice cream. [00:00:21] Mostly ice cream. [00:00:22] It's pistachio ice cream. [00:00:23] Right. [00:00:23] There you go. [00:00:24] Yeah, exactly. [00:00:25] I think it's green. [00:00:26] That's all right. [00:00:27] You won't know. [00:00:27] All the vitamins and nutrients are packed into a supplement that tastes great to your dog. [00:00:32] And you put, sprinkle it on your food, helps your dog with all the nutrients that they need. [00:00:36] And dogs love rough greens right out of the gate. [00:00:39] I know Uno did with Glenn and Miles did as well. [00:00:42] President Miles, sorry, I want to disrespect him. [00:00:46] But if you have some issue where for some reason your dog doesn't like it, well, I mean, you know, you don't have to worry about it. [00:00:51] You can get a free trial bag of rough greens for your dog to try. [00:00:55] And all you have to do is pay shipping. [00:00:56] So go to roughgreens.com slash back or call 833Glenn33.

[00:04:29] The View could not bring themselves to say that what happened in those ads with the SNM teddy bears and the little children was a bad thing. [00:04:43] In fact, the, I guess, the conservative one, Alyssa Griffin, who I've never even heard of. [00:04:48] Anyway, she said, I found this ad campaign particularly distasteful in this moment. [00:04:58] Wait, wait. [00:04:58] So it would be okay if it's not in this moment? [00:05:02] Another moment? [00:05:03] It would be fine. [00:05:04] There's this growing anti-LGBTQ sentiment right now and how it's being framed as portraying, you know, trans people as groomers. [00:05:16] I don't think people are putting trans people as groomers. [00:05:21] I think it's anyone who is pushing pedophilia. [00:05:25] Don't you think that's what it is? [00:05:27] Anybody who's trying to sexualize our children, those are groomers. [00:05:32] I think there are people that, you know, are claiming to be totally straight, that are sexually attracted to children. [00:05:42] I don't think that that's straight because I think straight gay people and everything, I think there's a vast majority that think, ah, sex with kids, not a good idea. [00:05:56] Really? [00:05:56] I don't care how you stand. [00:05:59] I know. [00:05:59] I mean, Mr. Hot Takeover. [00:06:02] I know, I know. [00:06:04] So this is just, this is sick. [00:06:07] So anyway, a lot of trans people are being framed as groomers. [00:06:11] This is a term you'll hear on the far right. [00:06:14] They're groomers. [00:06:15] So the Balenciaga campaign is disturbing because it supports what the far right says. [00:06:22] That's why it's disturbing. [00:06:23] Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:06:23] Okay. [00:06:24] And they played right into their hands by having kids in a sexualized manner carrying something that represents, you know, sex acts. [00:06:32] Uh-huh. [00:06:33] Uh-huh. [00:06:33] So it's distasteful at this moment because it's being portrayed by the right as something sick. [00:06:42] Can we just all agree that sexualizing our children is bad? [00:06:50] Can we agree? [00:06:54] Apparently not. [00:06:55] Apparently not. [00:06:57] The New York Times weighed in lumping the ad campaign with Fox News and QAnon. [00:07:03] So the only people are, and you know what? [00:07:05] If that's true, then, you know, color me there. [00:07:11] If those are the only people standing up and saying, ah, I think the sexualization of children, then I guess that's who my peeps are. [00:07:19] Shockingly, that's not the only color. [00:07:21] No, it's not. [00:07:22] No. [00:07:22] No, it's not. [00:07:26] This is brought on by Marxism. [00:07:33] Marxism is evil. [00:07:36] It is evil. [00:07:38] How do I know? [00:07:40] I don't know. [00:07:41] Let's look at the fruit of the tree. [00:07:43] 120 million dead in 100 years? [00:07:47] I don't know. [00:07:48] Seems pretty evil to me. [00:07:51] A poet once said, if you will not have God, and he's a jealous God, you should pay your respects to Hitler or Stalin. [00:08:02] The intellectuals and the activists that dominate our culture today are doing this. [00:08:10] They're sworn to accomplish it in a fashionable new way with the destruction of God and the family. [00:08:18] This is the left's biggest mission. [00:08:21] I'm not talking about your neighbor. [00:08:24] I wish your neighbor would wake up and start standing with people when they see our children are under attack. [00:08:31] They hate capitalism and for some reason they see the family as capitalistic. [00:08:37] No, that's actually not true. [00:08:42] What is true is that they hate family and capitalism comes after that. [00:08:52] But to sell it to people, you got to start with capitalism. [00:08:56] But this is an evil, evil idea. [00:09:01] And so they know, in the end, they have to destroy the family. [00:09:05] Klaus Schwab encourages redefining family identity. [00:09:09] Quote, increasingly, the traditional family unit is being replaced by the transnational family network. [00:09:16] What the hell is that, Klaus? [00:09:20] Why is this guy? [00:09:22] in everybody's cabinet. [00:09:27] It's no coincidence that the left has become Marxist. [00:09:32] At the same time, it's worshiping men in dresses, encouraging children to climb onto stripper poles. [00:09:38] Marxism and pedophilia are a match made in hell. [00:09:43] Wherever Marxism appears, it will sprout pedophiles. [00:09:49] But pedophiles exist even in capitalist, you know, pedophiles can be anything. [00:09:56] But you have to understand that Marxism is evil. [00:10:02] For starters, Marx didn't consider the long-term effects of destroying the family. [00:10:06] He just wanted to destroy the family. [00:10:08] Anytime it has been tried in the Soviet Union, it resulted in a massive spike of orphans, which leads to massive spikes in pedophilia. [00:10:19] Look at our border policy. [00:10:22] What's happening to all those kids? [00:10:24] You're starting to see reports, I know, only from the right, because the left can't admit it. [00:10:32] Pedophilia is going through the roof because it supplies orphans. [00:10:40] In the wake of World War II, orphans became easy prey. [00:10:46] And there was a German psychologist who turned post-World War II Germany into his experiment in pedophilia. [00:10:53] His goal was to spread Marxist values to fight fascism. [00:10:58] Did you know that Stalin in the mid-1930s had an affair with a 13-year-old girl? [00:11:04] Stalin did, 13 years old. [00:11:07] Sources called her his child bride, even though after she got pregnant, he dumped her. [00:11:14] Marxism has a long lineage of this. [00:11:18] Why? [00:11:18] Not because it's Marxism, because it was birthed in evil. [00:11:26] In the Communist Manifesto, on what foundation is the present family? [00:11:30] The bourgeoisie family. [00:11:32] What's it based on? [00:11:34] On capital, on private gain. [00:11:36] In its completely developed form, this family exists only among the bourgeoisie. [00:11:42] Best of all, abolishing the family would be relatively easy once the bourgeois property was abolished. [00:11:50] The bourgeois family will vanish. [00:11:53] As a matter of course, when the complement vanishes, both will vanish with the vanishing of capital. [00:12:00] He said the bourgeois claptrap about family and education, about the hallowed co-relation of parents and child, become all the more disgusting. [00:12:11] The more, by the action of modern industry, all the family ties among the proletarians are torn asunder and their children transformed into simple articles of commerce and instruments of labor. [00:12:26] Now, when you think of Karl Marx and Marxism, think of a specific image. [00:12:32] And that image is an animal devouring its offspring. [00:12:38] And that is exactly what's happening. [00:12:40] And it's happening more often because the left has run out of enemies. [00:12:44] They're cannibals and they have to eat something. [00:12:48] They always end eating themselves. [00:12:52] Marx envisioned a complete purge, I'm quoting, of society, so that communists could have their revolutionary dictatorship. [00:13:02] He advocated for an overthrow of the entire legal system. [00:13:06] Gee, let's reimagine it. [00:13:09] The proletariat cannot conquer power within the legal framework established by the bourgeoisie. [00:13:15] He always was clear that this revolution had to be violent, the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions. [00:13:24] These are his words. [00:13:25] He wanted to change everything. [00:13:28] He wanted to reverse all traditions, all values, all beliefs that weren't his. [00:13:34] What was that Michelle Obama quote? [00:13:38] I think she stated it very, very well. [00:13:41] And Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices. [00:13:45] We are going to have to change our conversation. [00:13:48] We're going to have to change our traditions, our history. [00:13:51] We're going to have to move into a different place. [00:13:54] He wanted to get rid of everything that was sacred, even if it had been sacred since before recorded history. [00:14:01] Even if it was an invaluable part of being human. [00:14:05] Truth. [00:14:06] He hated religion. [00:14:08] He spited God. [00:14:09] He said that labor and not God created man. [00:14:13] Christ preached love, so Marx incited violence and encouraged death. [00:14:18] He got kicked out of Belgium for buying guns for terrorists. [00:14:23] Society valued marriage, so he degraded the family unit. [00:14:28] He replaced faith with doubt, compassion with prejudice, truth with feeling, art with propaganda, and work with laziness. [00:14:40] The left has internalized all of his attitudes about life. [00:14:44] Without God, without family, without marriage, without faith, without art, without truth, without compassion, all you are left with is an urge to destroy. === When Nothing Is Sacred (02:19) === [00:14:55] And when nothing is sacred, human life is expendable. [00:15:00] Marx believed that the individual human life was much less important than the well-being of the community. [00:15:06] He believed that people should sacrifice themselves for the sake of the community or for future generations. [00:15:14] If you just scroll through Twitter, you will see the left has perfected this attitude. [00:15:20] They've improved on it. [00:15:22] They've industrialized it. [00:15:26] Their utopia resembles a brave new world where monogamy is taboo. [00:15:35] Sex is fused with violence and degradation. [00:15:39] Orgies are routine. [00:15:41] Children are sexualized many times forcefully. [00:15:45] The family structure destroyed. [00:15:48] Any mention of family, mother, father is described as smut. [00:15:53] Yet anything degrading is encouraged, especially among young children. [00:16:04] Even the origin of life holds no beauty. [00:16:07] There is literally something called the embryo store where meaningless babies are cultivated by the dozen like grapes on a vine. [00:16:15] Have you seen the little lamb that is grown in a plastic bag? [00:16:22] We're not far from this, gang. [00:16:28] Here's the advantage we have. [00:16:33] We are very resilient because of our faith. [00:16:38] We are very resilient because of our history and our traditions. [00:16:44] If we start getting rid of those, we become vulnerable. [00:16:51] There is truth. [00:16:54] Now, you can call yourself whatever you want to call yourself, and I'm fine, whatever, whatever. [00:16:59] But do not force me to go down the road with your truth because there is universal truth and there are hardwired biological difference between family and non-family. === Relief Factor: Save 25% (06:34) === [00:17:15] That's why our teachers, they might like our kids, they might say they love our kids, but they will never fight for our kids like a traditional mother will. [00:17:26] I don't even know. [00:17:27] I mean, parents guard their children from vipers. [00:17:37] And as long as there is at least one family and one believer left alive, then God and family are full of life, stronger and brighter than anything or anyone who claims victory over their supposed demise. [00:17:51] Just remember what is true. [00:17:55] Yvonne wrote in about her experience with Relief Factor. [00:17:58] She says, my husband and I are getting older and we both had pain that was beginning to slow us down. [00:18:03] We've always been very active, so when we heard you talking about Relief Factor, we decided to try it and we love it. [00:18:09] We're back to being our active selves again. [00:18:11] Thank you. [00:18:12] Relief Factor was created by doctors to help your body reduce the inflammation in a way that won't, you know, knock you out.

[00:18:24] And Relief Factor has four key ingredients that work together with your body as it fights against the effects of aging, exercise, everyday living.

[00:19:03] Relief Factor, feel the difference. [00:19:06] 10 seconds station id just before we all went on uh holiday for thanksgiving congressman chip roy said something that stuck with me He said, the Biden administration has, and I'm quoting, effectively weaponized the federal government against the American people. [00:19:35] He then said, the American people need to see a lot of things that they have not been seeing. [00:19:42] But then you need to connect that with the actions of the government. [00:19:48] Tonight, on my Wednesday night special on Blaze TV, that's what this is all about. [00:19:55] There are so many secrets, so many unsolved mysteries that Joe Biden and the Democrats not only refuse to answer, but in some cases they appear they are actively trying to cover it up. [00:20:08] Tonight, I have seven unsolved mysteries that we must demand answers on because the amount of secrets they now hold is, I mean, is growing with their power all the time, constantly growing. [00:20:24] The federal government and bureaucracy have been weaponized and it's time for us to remind them they work for us. [00:20:34] We demand answers. [00:20:35] Tonight, I have a chalkboard that will blow your mind. [00:20:38] And after you see it, I think you're going to be convinced that our government is completely out of control. [00:20:46] And these seven things need to be answered. [00:20:50] What happened on January 6th? [00:20:52] Who's Ray Epps? [00:20:53] Who planted the pipe bombs? [00:20:55] What's in Joe Biden's executive order on elections? [00:21:00] That's really important. [00:21:03] What happened to the Dobbs leaker? [00:21:05] What's the COVID origin story? [00:21:08] What's happening with crypto, FTX, and the central bank digital currency that was just launched, by the way, over the holiday? [00:21:18] What's happening with all of those things? [00:21:22] Tonight, you will see the government is growing on steroids and they are using public-private partnerships. [00:21:32] In fact, the Montana Attorney General is now concerned that UPS and FedEx are working with the administration to track American gun owners. [00:21:45] And he has filed suit. [00:21:47] He accuses the administration of bypassing laws that bar the federal government from creating a national database of American gun owners. [00:21:57] And they are instead, they are going and asking UPS and FedEx to track the firearms sales with real specificity so they know who's buying guns, where they're buying, and then they keep the records. [00:22:16] Just like I'm sure Google is not sharing any information at all, and neither is Apple or Facebook. [00:22:27] You are completely safe as long as it's in the hands of a private corporation. [00:22:32] Conservatives, wake up. [00:22:36] Wake up. [00:22:38] These big businesses are no longer your friends. [00:22:43] And Democrats should wake up. [00:22:46] If you don't want to be in the pocket of big business, you're in the wrong party. [00:22:52] Things have changed. [00:22:54] More in a minute. [00:22:57] The Glenn Bach program. [00:23:00] In a fast-moving and increasingly complicated world like the one we live in, particularly preparedness comes to mind as something that is absolutely vital. [00:23:13] For example, cyber criminals are out there. [00:23:15] You know, they want what's yours, your money, your identity, all that comes with it. [00:23:20] So how do you combat it? [00:23:22] Well, you've got to be prepared. [00:23:24] You have to know what's going on and be prepared. [00:23:27] Then, because you have many other things to do with your life, you have to contract somebody to be that guard, that sentinel, and that watchman that will alert if there's something wrong. [00:23:40] And then they're also in the position of helping clean things up if something slips by them because nobody can catch everything. === Reimagining Police with Robots (04:44) === [00:23:50] The Guardian at the gate that I choose is Lifelock.

[00:24:35] Thank you so much for listening. [00:24:37] Hey, some good news. [00:24:38] San Francisco, the Board of Supervisors, did finally approve the proposal that would authorize the San Francisco Police Department to use robots as a deadly force option. [00:24:51] So I think that's, I mean. [00:24:53] Good news. [00:24:54] Oh, that's good news for you. [00:24:57] That we're reimagining the police. [00:24:58] I didn't imagine them being robots, did you? [00:25:01] No. [00:25:02] No. [00:25:03] I mean, and I say that from the very spot and the old Paramount movie lot where RoboCop was made. [00:25:12] Yeah. [00:25:13] So we got that. [00:25:14] Right down the hall. [00:25:15] Yeah, right. [00:25:16] It's fantastic. [00:25:17] It's amazing. [00:25:18] I heard a lengthy report this morning that apparently, and this is going to shock you guys. [00:25:24] You're going to be stunned by it, and you're going to have no explanation as to why it's occurring. [00:25:29] I'm pretty sure that's an accurate statement. [00:25:30] We're both going to just fall over. [00:25:34] I'm concerned over it. [00:25:35] But the report was that apparently big cities are having trouble maintaining police forces. [00:25:42] Shut up. [00:25:43] Apparently, many of these individual police officers are thinking they no longer want to be police officers. [00:25:50] Okay, so wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. [00:25:53] Are you saying that the movement to destroy the police officers in the country, the movement that was heralded by Silicon Valley and big tech? [00:26:06] And Washington, D.C. [00:26:08] And Washington, D.C., they're in Silicon Valley have an idea of how to replace those police officers? [00:26:17] Now, apparently, they want to hire robots to do it. [00:26:20] Well, those will be much more fair. [00:26:21] Yeah. [00:26:22] Oh, yeah. [00:26:22] They're perfect. [00:26:23] Yeah, this is what happened in RoboCop. [00:26:25] Yeah, exactly. [00:26:26] Robots always act perfectly. [00:26:28] Are cops so sensitive that they don't like it when people want to take away their money and any kind of safety measures that they now have? [00:26:37] And they're always under question. [00:26:38] Yeah. [00:26:39] And they're being, I don't know, shot in a lot of times. [00:26:43] And they want to leave now? [00:26:45] Yeah. [00:26:45] Well, actually, that was not the reason given for most of the report. [00:26:49] In fact, most of the report was. [00:26:51] Some of them just found better jobs. [00:26:54] Oh, yeah. [00:26:55] It was legitimate for centuries. [00:26:57] Wow. [00:26:57] Some of them just, you know, are going to be IT people. [00:27:01] Legitimate. [00:27:02] This is the report. [00:27:03] I'm like, wait, wait, I. Eventually they did get to what I think might be the main cause was, you know, the 2020 protests into defund the police was kind of maybe the reason. [00:27:13] And I have friends who did this, police officers who were in the police force and saw this happen. [00:27:20] We're just like, what am I doing with my life? [00:27:21] I know. [00:27:22] I know. [00:27:23] They just said, I got to be an IT person. [00:27:26] So they're just like, I got to get into IT right now. [00:27:28] I have to tell you that, I mean, you know, they have to have, you know, the cameras on their vest and then the cameras can be, you know, rushed to the media. [00:27:39] I mean, unless you're Pelosi. [00:27:41] But that camera footage of your vest, now we'll have robots that will be able to record everything from their visor face. [00:27:53] And it'll be so much better because it'll automatically erase the tape if you're at Pelosi's house. [00:28:01] Oh, that's nice. [00:28:02] That's much better. [00:28:03] Still won't give you. [00:28:04] And if you question, it might kill you. [00:28:07] Well, to be fair, they are saying they are not going to be carrying firearms. [00:28:12] They just be carrying explosives. [00:28:14] Explosives. [00:28:14] Just explosives. [00:28:15] Explosives. [00:28:17] I think I'd rather have a firearm. [00:28:21] What are you carrying? [00:28:22] What is this? [00:28:22] Like the Roadrunner? [00:28:24] Does he throw a stick of dynamite you're well? [00:28:28] I mean, what is that? [00:28:29] Acme is the producer of these robocops. [00:28:32] I wouldn't doubt it. [00:28:33] I wouldn't doubt it. === No Biggest Movie of All Time (07:51) === [00:28:34] Speaking of RoboCop and the movie RoboCop, there is another movie that is coming out. [00:28:41] And at least all three of us in this room agree we don't get it. [00:28:50] And I think we might be alone because it's the biggest movie of all time. [00:28:58] It's Avatar from James Cameron. [00:29:03] The Way of Water. [00:29:04] What an enticing title. [00:29:07] Oh, I'm on the edge of what is the way of water? [00:29:10] Could it be wet? [00:29:12] I can't wait to find out in a 16-hour cartoon. [00:29:17] No, wait a minute. [00:29:17] We did see that in Titanic. [00:29:19] The way of water. [00:29:20] Yeah. [00:29:20] Yeah. [00:29:21] This is all this guy does. [00:29:22] He keeps making water movies. [00:29:23] I know. [00:29:23] So I watched the first one. [00:29:26] I've only seen it once. [00:29:27] I saw it at home. [00:29:28] And don't tell me, oh, it's better on the big screen. [00:29:30] Shut up. [00:29:31] Yeah. [00:29:32] It's not. [00:29:32] It's a bad movie. [00:29:33] It's like, it's terrible. [00:29:35] I didn't get it at all. [00:29:36] It was so anti-human. [00:29:38] Yeah. [00:29:38] Anti-military, anti-human. [00:29:40] Okay, you got blue people that are tall and skinny running around. [00:29:44] Big eyes. [00:29:45] Yeah. [00:29:46] Okay. [00:29:47] Okay. [00:29:47] It had very little storyline to it. [00:29:50] It was not compelling in any way. [00:29:52] No, I don't hear anybody clamoring for four more. [00:29:55] Name a character from it. [00:29:57] Name a one. [00:29:59] No idea. [00:30:00] Can you name a character from, I don't know, the other big movies? [00:30:01] Star Wars. [00:30:03] Any characters come to mind? [00:30:04] Maybe one. [00:30:05] Maybe one. [00:30:05] Even Titanic. [00:30:06] Yeah. [00:30:07] Jack, right? [00:30:08] Jack Rose. [00:30:09] That's right. [00:30:10] Yeah. [00:30:10] I mean, it's very little to do with why people went to go see Titanic. [00:30:15] They went to go see the boat sink. [00:30:17] Yes. [00:30:17] But you can remember at least even that. [00:30:20] I mean, like, movies that make this much money typically are iconic. [00:30:23] Like, there's moments where you're like, oh, my gosh, remember when X, Y, and Z. They're all mean. [00:30:28] So here's what I remember. [00:30:30] I kind of remember the humans wanting to take fuel from their planet. [00:30:38] That's the only thing I remember. [00:30:39] I remember thinking, just because they're raping the resources of the blue people planet is cool. [00:30:46] That's all I remember of the movie. [00:30:48] Yeah, the generalized plot line had something to do with evil human beings and evil, probably white capitalists who going around and stealing from these poor people. [00:30:58] A peaceful people. [00:30:59] Peaceful blue people. [00:31:01] And finally, they step up and defend themselves, right? [00:31:03] It's essentially the Ewok storyline, right? [00:31:07] That's basically all it is. [00:31:10] They took the return of the Jedi. [00:31:11] They like the Ewok storyline. [00:31:12] No, I know. [00:31:13] They took the Return of the Jedi storyline and then ruined it. [00:31:20] The weakest of the original trilogy, they're like, what if we take the part there and then turn it into a computer program, right? [00:31:28] Like, I mean, even the name Avatar, it's like a cheesy technical term that an old person would think, well, let's use an internet term for the name of our movie, Avatar. [00:31:41] It's just pathetic. [00:31:42] Yeah, was it the name of the planet or anything? [00:31:44] What was the reason that Avatar was the name of that movie? [00:31:47] I don't know. [00:31:48] The only thing I can think of is when the movie came out, it was technologically advanced because they were basically making it was supposed to look really real, but it wasn't, you know, it wasn't live action. [00:32:00] Right. [00:32:00] It was like in that weird in-between area that was really impressive in what, 2008 or 2009, whenever that movie came out. [00:32:07] But like now, now like what? [00:32:10] So what we've seen, like, we're all now sick of CGI and no longer want to see it anymore. [00:32:15] So I saw the, what is Spirited? [00:32:19] Did you see Spirited yet? [00:32:21] Did you see that? [00:32:21] I know I did. [00:32:22] We talked about it. [00:32:23] I loved it. [00:32:24] So the Judy Dench part, I don't know if that was really Judy Dench or if it was CGI. [00:32:30] Is this? [00:32:32] Yeah. [00:32:33] CGI is so good now, you have no idea what's real, what's not. [00:32:38] This is not impressive technology. [00:32:40] And it looks, you know, you guys weren't big gamers maybe growing up, but like there's that thing that they do in video games where things can look really realistic and yet people are walking around and it just doesn't look right. [00:32:53] They don't look at Kenny Valley, right? [00:32:56] And it's like, it is like, it's that. [00:32:59] Even when you watch the preview, they don't look real. [00:33:01] They don't look, they're moving a little bit strangely and it doesn't look natural. [00:33:06] They're anti-alien. [00:33:08] Sort of. [00:33:09] Yeah. [00:33:10] How do you know that aliens don't move that way? [00:33:12] Have you ever been to the planet? [00:33:15] That's a great point. [00:33:16] That's the Avatarians. [00:33:18] It's a great point. [00:33:19] I know he has it. [00:33:20] And they're spending billions of dollars betting on that point, which is and you know what? [00:33:25] I think it will probably do well because I've never had a good explanation on why that movie is so popular. [00:33:33] I've never met a soul who liked it. [00:33:36] Well, nobody even told your life about it. [00:33:38] This one's like a non-issue. [00:33:41] There's no biggest movie of all time. [00:33:43] It's like you just said, you just said that nobody ever, there's no memes on it. [00:33:49] There aren't any. [00:33:49] No. [00:33:51] No one references it. [00:33:52] It's just a giant zilch of a movie that made a lot of money. [00:33:56] Here, here. [00:33:57] A movie that had been erased for 40 years. [00:34:02] Let me just say Mary's walking down the street in the snowstorm. [00:34:07] Right. [00:34:08] You know that's, it's a wonderful life. [00:34:10] Go ahead. [00:34:11] Mary. [00:34:12] Right? [00:34:13] Mary. [00:34:14] Don't you know me? [00:34:15] Don't you know me, Mary? [00:34:16] Okay, I mean, you can do that with, I am your father. [00:34:22] This is speaker. [00:34:23] Yeah. [00:34:24] And I don't know a single line from it. [00:34:27] It's amazing. [00:34:29] I mean, looking at these movies, the biggest movies from years. [00:34:35] Now, obviously, the Avatar was the biggest movie of 2009. [00:34:38] The ones, look, going back, Home Alone. [00:34:42] You know, you immediately know. [00:34:43] You can just do this. [00:34:46] Right? [00:34:46] Terminator 2. [00:34:48] You remember that movie. [00:34:49] You remember the morphing scene, right? [00:34:51] Yes, yes. [00:34:52] You know, Jurassic Park. [00:34:54] I don't know. [00:34:55] What was that story about? [00:34:56] Forest Gump. [00:34:58] Yeah. [00:34:58] Right. [00:34:59] And that's a weird story to try to explain. [00:35:02] Right, but you could do it. [00:35:03] And everybody who comes here, because we have the park bench here in the studios. [00:35:08] And everybody wants to have their picture taken on the park bench. [00:35:13] And they always say the same thing. [00:35:15] Life was like a box of chocolate. [00:35:18] Every single time. [00:35:18] Right. [00:35:18] Toy Story. [00:35:20] Right. [00:35:21] Independence Day. [00:35:22] I mean, Independence Day is not a movie that had like a the test of time all-time classic movie, but you can still remember all sorts of the laser coming down. [00:35:31] That's iconic. [00:35:32] You remember all Titanic, Saving Private Ryan, Star Wars. [00:35:36] Now, again, Star Wars episode one, which everyone agrees was bad. [00:35:41] We all remember Jar Jar Binks. [00:35:43] Yes. [00:35:43] Right? [00:35:44] Every single person remembers it. [00:35:45] Yes. [00:35:46] Does anyone remember one character from Avatar? [00:35:48] It probably was a decade more recent. [00:35:51] You got to tell you something. [00:35:53] It is almost like maybe. [00:35:55] Did you see it in the theater? [00:35:56] Yeah. [00:35:56] Oh, yeah. [00:35:56] Oh, there you go. [00:35:57] Did you see it? [00:35:58] Oh, yeah. [00:35:59] Yeah, okay. [00:36:00] That blows that I thought maybe there was some hypnosis when you went to see it at a theater. [00:36:06] Not in my theater, anyway. [00:36:07] There was some subsonic hypnosis where you're like, I love this movie. [00:36:12] I'll never be able to tell you what it was about, but I love this movie. [00:36:17] Look, Harry Potter, Spider-Man, Lord of the Rings, Shrek, Star Wars, Pirates of the Caribbean, right? === The Subsonic Hypnosis of Movie Theaters (03:44) === [00:36:26] Even that. [00:36:27] Spider-Man, again, another Spider-Man, The Dark Knight, right? [00:36:30] Like, people remember this. [00:36:32] Then Avatar, which no one remembers at all. [00:36:35] Toy Story, Harry Potter, The Avengers, Hunger Games, American Sniper, which is an interesting one as far as a number one movie for a year that doesn't fit per se, but everyone kind of still remembers it. [00:36:45] So Star Wars, Star Wars, Star Wars, Black Panther, even. [00:36:50] Avengers. [00:36:51] 2020 is a bad one because Bad Boys for Life was the number one movie because of the pandemic. [00:36:57] You can't use that one. [00:36:57] But then Spider-Man and Top Gun Maverick. [00:37:00] Okay, so all right. [00:37:01] So wait a minute. [00:37:01] Wait a minute. [00:37:02] What is it about we're gonna run out of time? [00:37:04] And let me take a quick break. [00:37:05] And I just want an answer to this. [00:37:08] What is the hero story? [00:37:11] What is the thing that people watched, and I don't know the answer to this, and went, oh, that's me. [00:37:16] I see me in. [00:37:18] I see me in. [00:37:18] In Avatar? [00:37:19] Yeah.

[00:39:01] I would not be able to, I don't get the Avatar thing. [00:39:05] Jake Sully, he wakes up. [00:39:08] He's been traveling to another planet and he opens up his locker, which is marked Sully T, and he's told that his deceased twin brother, Tom, a scientist, who was part of a high-level program overseen by corporate and military strategists. [00:39:26] You mean a public-private partnership? [00:39:30] Anyway, he decides he's going to take over for his twin because he can pretend to be his twin or can get away with it because of genetic matches. [00:39:40] Then he goes to the planet for a fresh start. [00:39:44] Do you remember any of that? [00:39:45] No. [00:39:46] Then he takes a shuttle to Pandora, and it's four and a half light years away. [00:39:52] And he has to wear a full breathing mask because it won't support human life. [00:39:58] And then he's told that he's just got to obey the rules because everything on this planet will try to kill you and it's hard to kill them. [00:40:08] But what's out there, they'll try to kill you. === Pandora's Breathing Mask Rules (15:26) === [00:40:10] And it's our job to keep people alive. [00:40:14] So you got that going. [00:40:16] Do you remember? [00:40:17] No. [00:40:17] Yeah. [00:40:18] You know, hundreds of people died on the Titanic. [00:40:23] But this is the worst thing that the Titanic ever brought us. [00:40:26] Because Titanic was so successful, they let this guy make Avatar. [00:40:30] And that's the worst part. [00:40:31] Like that is the real tragedy of the Titanic. [00:40:34] He's not making other movies. [00:40:36] These take so long to make. [00:40:38] I know. [00:40:38] And it's like, this doesn't make any sense. [00:40:40] Why would anyone think that we're going to care? [00:40:42] And of course they're going to, they're making, they're spending so much money on advertising. [00:40:45] It's going to make a bunch of money at the box office. [00:40:47] And I guess it's huge overseas, which I don't really understand. [00:40:52] But they're making like amusement park lands of it. [00:40:56] It's like, yeah, I know. [00:40:57] It's a Disney World. [00:40:58] They've got to get it. [00:40:59] Avatar section. [00:41:02] Why? [00:41:03] I don't know. [00:41:03] This is why JPEC got fired. [00:41:08] Honestly, somebody write in, tweet what it is that we're missing on Avatar because we miss it completely. [00:41:18] I would say that this would be a box office bomb had this not been the number one movie in the world. [00:41:26] Well, it has to make $2 billion to break even. [00:41:30] Oh my gosh. [00:41:31] Oh my God. [00:41:33] Makes me think about it. [00:41:33] The Glenn Back Program. [00:41:35] People all over the country wake up and live their lives in a land that is still free, at least for now. [00:41:42] They work hard. [00:41:43] They try to make a good living. [00:41:44] They love their God and their family. [00:41:46] And at the end of the night, they go to bed and they're going to bed as decent people. [00:41:50] The American ideal is almost limitless, conceived in the hearts, motivated by liberty and goodness. [00:41:58] Believe me, you are not going to find a clearer example of that than the people that work and have created the products at Grip Six. [00:42:10] Their socks. [00:42:10] Let's just talk about their socks. [00:42:12] By supporting the American ranchers, they raise the specially bred sheep that produce the modern wool. [00:42:19] American manufacturers have to wash that wool, process that wool, weave it into socks so your feet stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer. [00:42:28] They're American business owners and their idea was, I want to return power to America and bring manufacturing back. [00:42:41] We want to celebrate America. [00:42:43] Put your trust and your hard-earned money in a company that does it right right here in America. [00:42:49] Go to gripsics.com slash Beck. [00:42:52] I'm wearing their socks now. [00:42:53] Gripsics.com slash Beck. [00:42:56] Do it now. [00:43:44] What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. [00:43:49] This is the Glenn Beck Program. [00:43:55] Hello, America. [00:43:56] Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. [00:43:58] Oh, you know, you know it's got to be good. [00:44:01] It's got to be good when the Senate passes a Respect for Marriage Act. [00:44:10] you know it's got to really truly respect marriage and do nothing but strengthen marriage and your faith that goes right along with it this is now some people me included say that this is a horrible thing that has just passed with significant support from the Republicans. [00:44:36] And I want you to know what they've just passed and what it means. [00:44:40] The guy who's really been following this story is Daniel Horowitz. [00:44:47] It's not good. [00:44:50] So what does it mean in 60 seconds? [00:44:56] If you've been living with pain and desperately want to get your life back, I'm here to tell you, I not only understand that firsthand, what it's like, but I may have an answer for you. [00:45:05] It's called Relief Factor. [00:45:08] I had tried everything and failed. [00:45:11] Relief Factor was created by doctors and it helps reduce the inflammation in your body. [00:45:17] Now, this is where these commercials lost me at first because I'm like, oh, it's ibuprofen. [00:45:22] Well, I've had the prescription ibuprofen 800. [00:45:26] Couldn't just take four tablets. [00:45:28] Uh-uh. [00:45:29] No, I got to go to a doctor and get the heavy stuff. [00:45:32] And it never worked for me. [00:45:34] This attacks inflammation four different ways where ibuprofen is only going down one way. [00:45:42] So even if ibuprofen hasn't worked for you before and you think this is all bullcrap, my wife forced me to take this. [00:45:49] And I have to tell you, once again, she was right. [00:45:52] Keep it to yourself, okay? [00:45:54] Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor and about 70% of them go on to order more month after month. [00:46:00] ReliefFactor.com. [00:46:01] Get their three-week quick start now for 1995. [00:46:03] ReliefFactor.com. [00:46:05] That's relieffactor.com or 800, the number four relief. [00:46:09] 800 for relief. [00:46:11] ReliefFactor.com. [00:46:13] Feel the difference. [00:46:15] Mr. Daniel Horowitz, welcome to the program. [00:46:19] Hey, great to be back with you in these confusing times. [00:46:22] Oh my gosh. [00:46:23] Well, we are showing real respect for marriage in this act, don't you think? [00:46:32] You know, it's funny, even with the Judeo-Christian heritage of this country, I believe there was never a time in history where the federal government ever technically prevented a state from adopting something like, let's say, a gay marriage. [00:46:46] And indeed, under the Defense of Marriage Act, which this repealed, eight or 10 or so blue states did adopt gay marriage, right? [00:46:54] The federal government never prevented states from defining marriage as they saw fit. [00:47:00] DOMA only defined it for federal purposes, the military, social security, immigration, things like that. [00:47:05] Yet this bill bans states from defining marriage as a marriage. [00:47:12] And I think what's so important here is the times we're living in. [00:47:16] Even if someone kind of evolved on that, as all these GOP senators said, over the last decade, the last couple years should give you pause. [00:47:25] This is not even about Leviticus. [00:47:28] This is more about Genesis. [00:47:30] When you look at the broader transhumanist agenda, everything they do seems to lead to a result of depopulation, undermining the continuity of civilization. [00:47:42] You now have 21% of Gen Z, according to Gallup, identifying as one of the alphabet soup stuff that can't procreate or won't procreate. [00:47:52] That ain't natural, and that ain't good. [00:47:56] And when the government makes it that it's an equal proposition, it's a 50-50 proposition, it's not even a biblical values issue anymore. [00:48:04] This is straight up a continuity of civilization issue. [00:48:09] This is why China reversed their one-child policy. [00:48:13] You cannot sustain anything at this level without procreation. [00:48:22] We also see just, there was a study out just this week that fertility rates for men way down all over the world. [00:48:33] And now we are codifying in the way that Roe versus Wade did, where I don't, honestly, I'm more libertarian on this, where I don't really care. [00:48:46] You want to get married? [00:48:47] Fine. [00:48:48] Just don't tell me what I have to do, and I'm not going to tell you where you have to get married. [00:48:56] And this, the biggest thing on this is the fact that I think this is going to be used to start to discriminate against Christian organizations. [00:49:09] Well, I mean, this has already been happening, so this thing kind of codifies, bake the cake into civil rights and makes it a civil rights. [00:49:18] And by the way, it's kind of funny at a time when all major corporations for public accommodations could collaborate with big government to box out people from the entire society getting organs, getting a job, getting anything on account of not getting Pfizer stuff. [00:49:39] But somehow, you know, Bob Shop, cake shop, he has to service this, you know, not just the person, but the event, even though there's 50 other places within five miles that will probably give the guy a discount and will champion it. [00:49:54] I mean, that's what this is all about. [00:49:57] It's about destroying the continuity of civilization. [00:50:01] Because you're right. [00:50:02] A lot of people, I think, kind of said, yeah, it's a couple of people here and there. [00:50:05] This is what they want. [00:50:05] Whatever. [00:50:06] I don't care. [00:50:06] It doesn't affect my marriage. [00:50:08] But what I'm telling people is when you see the results since Oberger fell, I did the math with Gallup's poll and the exit polling this past election actually seems to hone in on the same numbers. [00:50:20] The amount of people identifying as one of these things grew 27% in one year. [00:50:26] That is crazy. [00:50:28] And that is that is all social media and all propaganda. [00:50:33] You don't go, here it is. [00:50:36] People born before 1946, 0.8% said they were gay. [00:50:41] Baby boomers, 2.6. [00:50:43] Generation X, 4.2. [00:50:47] Millennials, 10.5. [00:50:50] And Generation Z, 20.8. [00:50:54] Come on. [00:50:56] And it's growing every year. [00:50:58] And my question is, how much is enough? [00:51:00] 30, 50, 60? [00:51:02] Again, I mean, this has nothing to even do with religious arguments. [00:51:05] You could be a San Francisco Bathhouse guy, but someone's got to do the procreating. [00:51:10] And think about the millions of people that takes out of the procreation business. [00:51:16] And the notion that somehow Republicans thought that this needed further strengthening, that there wasn't enough momentum behind it, is absurd. [00:51:26] But Glenn, it's worse than just the 12 names. [00:51:29] It's the fact that all but a few of them were fine with it. [00:51:33] McConnell and Thune, the leaders, they didn't whip against it. [00:51:36] They didn't speak out against it. [00:51:38] They were hope yes, vote no. [00:51:40] You know, with the exception of Cruz, Lee Langford, maybe one or two others, that was it. [00:51:45] They were all fine with this, as they're all fine with every other issue that Democrats want to screw us on, including the omnibus bill. [00:51:53] They're working on some immigration stuff. [00:51:56] This is never ending. [00:51:58] So is Mike Lee right with his amendment, which failed? [00:52:07] Is he right that this is going to affect all kinds of organizations where you'll lose your tax-exempt status or whatever, and you'll have to hire people that are different. [00:52:23] And if you're in a Christian organization, you want to keep those values. [00:52:29] You're not going to be able to keep those values. [00:52:31] That's what he really feels strongly, that this is going to just open everybody up. [00:52:39] Well, I mean, the courts were doing this even before Congress codified it. [00:52:43] So this puts an exclamation mark on it. [00:52:45] Obviously, he laid down that marker, made it very clear. [00:52:48] Look, you want gay marriage? [00:52:50] Here's a grand bargain. [00:52:51] You know, you get your thing permanently, even force red states to always reciprocate it. [00:52:57] But, you know, religious liberty is untouchable. [00:53:01] And yeah, I mean, these Republicans, except for Susan Collins, did vote for it, but it's a joke because then once it failed, they voted for the bill that didn't contain it. [00:53:10] And at this point, I mean, they have some very narrow carve-out for some nonprofits, but certainly for-profit. [00:53:17] So if you're a business like Masterpiece Cake Shop, you are totally unprotected by even their weak protections in there. [00:53:26] So this, again, codifies it. [00:53:28] The only saving grace I would say is that possibly by Congress putting this in a statute, it might make it easier to hit at this in the courts and disqualified as an unconstitutional violation of the 10th Amendment, even though Obergerfell was as well. [00:53:45] But, you know, the judges are kind of reluctant to reverse their own thing, even though the Dobbs opinion clearly does reverse it. [00:53:52] But this is a new statute that they could invalidate. [00:53:56] So I do think there is an angle there in the courts. [00:53:59] And so this makes, if you're a baker, this makes it pretty hard to say, I can't bake that, right? [00:54:09] Your religious objection is gone now, legally. [00:54:13] Exactly. [00:54:13] I mean, the baker could say anyone working in the 115-degree room back there has to wear a mask and violate occupational safety law, but he cannot say, look, I'm just going to sit this one out. [00:54:26] I don't want to bake for something, you know, with my handiwork, something that violates my conscience. [00:54:32] Yeah, I mean, this is the society we live in. [00:54:35] It's a new set of ethos. [00:54:36] It's a new pagan theocracy where we mandate gay marriage, we mandate Pfizer's whatever product they come out with next. [00:54:46] They fight for their values. [00:54:48] I mean, you've got to give them credit. [00:54:49] You listened to their speeches. [00:54:51] They were passionate. [00:54:51] They believed in it. [00:54:52] Cursed in cinema, hugged one of the Republican senators. [00:54:56] They're very passionate, pounding the lectern on it. [00:54:59] On the Republican side, again, it's not just the 12. [00:55:02] None of them felt strongly about it. [00:55:04] And this is kind of that imbalance we see on every issue. [00:55:08] They are fully peddled to the metal, unified in their beliefs. [00:55:12] And even on the most fundamental questions of our time, we can't get any sense of not just unanimity of opinion, but we can't even get a modicum of opposition. [00:55:23] So what happens to the Republican Party if this is what they're going to be over the next two years? [00:55:30] I mean, there's no passion to get out and defend these people. === The Republican Party's Controlled Opposition (02:57) === [00:55:36] I mean, look at any major issue. [00:55:38] What are they saying on biomedical tyranny, COVID fascism? [00:55:41] Are you hearing a word about that? [00:55:43] No. [00:55:43] I mean, what are they saying on blocking the FBI from arresting political opponents? [00:55:48] It's nothing. [00:55:50] I've had to bite my tongue for quite a while with a lot of our colleagues, but the reality is the Republican Party has been a controlled opposition for a very long time. [00:56:00] People are a little bit confused because there are only two parties. [00:56:03] So once in a while, you have a good guy that happens to be a Republican because there's no other option. [00:56:08] But at a leadership level, it's a controlled opposition. [00:56:11] And as conservatives, we need to pray and think and strategize hard what we need to do. [00:56:16] It's got to start certainly with local and state affairs, I think. [00:56:20] Obviously, we need to focus more on, say, the state of Texas's legislative session more than we do on Congress at this point and try to maybe build back better to rip a line to the CEA at a state level. [00:56:34] That would make you Klaus Schwab. [00:56:36] I just want to point that out. [00:56:38] One last thing. [00:56:40] Have you been reinstated at Twitter yet? [00:56:43] No, I have not. [00:56:44] And I don't want to prejudge this because it could be at any given time. [00:56:47] But I will say it is kind of interesting that Dr. Malone, Dr. McCullough, none of the big, you know, medical freedom patriots have been restated. [00:57:00] And I find that kind of interesting. [00:57:03] But you don't want to go any further than that. [00:57:07] It could be it takes time, but again, it just is an interesting observation that anyone who was kicked off on accounts of medical freedom has not been reinstated, although they do say they've taken away the new censorship on the COVID issue. [00:57:22] So we will wait and see. [00:57:24] Yeah, they did remove some policy, right? [00:57:26] It was the COVID misinformation policy they suspended. [00:57:29] Which means that doesn't this mean that they are no longer putting out little things, this may be misinformation. [00:57:39] Go to the CDC for the truth. [00:57:43] No, I mean, that has improved. [00:57:47] So that is definitely a step in the right direction. [00:57:50] But, I mean, it's kind of like a lesson with the Republican Party. [00:57:53] You can't hope it gets done. [00:57:54] You got to make sure it gets done. [00:57:55] Although I don't think this is really our decision. [00:57:58] But we can't put our trust in man. [00:58:00] I mean, that is really the lesson. [00:58:02] No one man is going to save us. [00:58:04] No one platform is going to save us. [00:58:07] It's kind of like starting a campfire. [00:58:09] It's ground up and there's no silver bullet. [00:58:11] And we just really have to assert our will in the states where a majority of people think like us and make it clear that these Republicans are persona non grado with the voters. [00:58:21] Hey, Daniel, because you're a deep thinker and a religious guy, I want to ask you another question on another topic. [00:58:30] Give me 60 seconds. [00:58:31] We'll be back with Daniel Horowitz. === Faith, Family, and First Responders (07:03) === [00:58:34] American Financing NMLS 1-82334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org. [00:58:40] Your home is probably the biggest asset you own, will be the biggest asset that you own your whole life. [00:58:47] There are lots of ways in which it can help you out financially, especially if you're working to get out from underneath other forms of debt. [00:58:55] The credit card debt that you might have, what is the interest rate on that? [00:58:59] Those interest rates are going to go through the roof and it's going to get worse as the economy starts to become more and more shaky because they'll lump you in with people who maybe aren't paying their bills and say, well, they're a risk, so we're going to raise their rates even more. [00:59:17] You'll never be able to pay those things off. [00:59:19] They hit 25%. [00:59:21] How are you going to pay it off? [00:59:24] You can save. [00:59:25] The average person right now that is working with American Financing is saving about $695 a month. [00:59:32] That's average, $695. [00:59:34] That is tremendous. [00:59:36] And you pay that debt down and off because you'll be paying, you know, I don't know, 4% to 7% interest. [00:59:44] That's a lot better. [00:59:45] And it's locked in. [00:59:46] American Financing, call them at 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440 or go to AmericanFinancing.net. [00:59:56] 10 seconds station id so daniel have you been following the balenciaga uh story Sure, a little bit from afar. [01:00:15] Okay. [01:00:16] There is real evil that is going on. [01:00:20] This pedophilia stuff is just marching through. [01:00:26] And this is something that if you would have said 10 years ago, oh, next thing you're going to know, you're going to be pushing for the normalization of pedophilia. [01:00:36] They got crazy on the left. [01:00:38] How dare you say that? [01:00:40] How dare you? [01:00:41] That is just a conspiracy theory. [01:00:43] It's never going to happen. [01:00:44] And now it's happening. [01:00:45] And I can't believe the number of people that are just dismissing this. [01:00:52] You have any thoughts on this? [01:00:54] You know, when our founders identified self-evident truths in the declaration, they identified God as the source of those self-evident truths. [01:01:06] And I have no other way of explaining this other than when you go away from that path, you're in outer space. [01:01:13] I mean, there's no limit to where you can float. [01:01:16] So people are like, well, you know, I think kind of homosexuality is kind of great. [01:01:19] Let's get involved in that. [01:01:21] And then those alphabet letters got added and added. [01:01:25] And now it's like a whole litany of them. [01:01:27] I wish we could make an editorial rule to ban that acronym here at the blaze. [01:01:31] It's just, it's ridiculous to use their parlance, but I will tell you, the P will absolutely be added to it within the next few years, along with other letters as well. [01:01:42] The P as in pedophile, pansexual. [01:01:46] Oh, okay. [01:01:47] Well, yeah, I mean, for what you want, there's there's an unlimited number of options. [01:01:52] And that's the thing. [01:01:54] The brakes are off this train. [01:01:56] It was never about accommodating a few people that are kind of confused or in a rough situation or feel they need to love. [01:02:04] It was always a concerted effort. [01:02:08] Marxism's lead ship in its armada is cultural Marxism. [01:02:13] Familiar ties, the family structure is the bulwark against a government. [01:02:20] You can't have a country, a big government overbearing government. [01:02:23] You can't have a country without faith and family. [01:02:26] And they needed to destroy the former two in order to destroy the third one, the country, and consolidate this support and make everyone just kind of this androgynous AI bot with no lineage, no ties to anything, but fully controlled by government. [01:02:45] So again, like even more than, I think it had its roots in moving away from the Judeo-Christian founding of America, but now it's really every bit as much part of the transhumanist agenda, almost like the biomedical experimentations, more than even the classical licentious agenda that the left has been pushing since the 60s. [01:03:07] And that's really what this is about. [01:03:09] And again, notice everything, everything seems to land in depopulation. [01:03:16] The more you make people confused about right and wrong, about basic human relationships, the less procreation you're going to get. [01:03:25] And that somehow seems to coincidentally align with their biomedical agenda as well. [01:03:31] I mean, it's amazing. [01:03:32] You look at what's happening with Canada, where they're about to let somebody, you know, kill themselves, doctor-assisted suicide, because he's very sick and can't afford his apartment anymore. [01:03:46] And so the solution is, instead of making him homeless, let's kill him. [01:03:52] I mean, this is so Malthusian. [01:03:54] All of it is so anti-human. [01:03:58] It's crazy. [01:04:01] That's really what it is. [01:04:02] It's anti-human. [01:04:03] This is not about liberal or conservative or even communism. [01:04:07] It's anti-humanism. [01:04:08] We've never faced this degree of pagan theocracy before, and it's something we've got to update to our pro-life cause. [01:04:15] Daniel Horowitz, thank you so much. [01:04:18] He is, by the way, the co-author of Rise of the Fourth Reich. [01:04:22] You want to know what happened with COVID and all the behind the scenes? [01:04:27] This is a tremendous book. [01:04:29] It'll be out soon, but you can pre-order The Rise of the Fourth Reich now. [01:04:34] The Glenn Bach program. [01:04:37] I've been telling you about the Tunnel to Towers Foundation for a while now, and honestly, I just, I love these people. [01:04:42] They outdo themselves all the time. [01:04:44] In Landa Lakes, Florida, they are building their Do-Good Village. [01:04:49] Now, this comes from a massive donation of acres and acres of land from people just like you. [01:04:55] And they are building this community of 110 homes for their program recipients. [01:05:01] This means the families of first responders, Gold Star families, the families of catastrophically injured first responders or military service members. [01:05:11] All of them can be part of this great community and their children will grow up together, play together, heal together. [01:05:20] I really think that you need to look at charity as who's doing the most amount of good, who's delivering that dollar to that promise the most effectively. [01:05:32] And if you want to take care of our first responders and our service members, there is no better cause. === Kanye West and Anti-Semitism (14:48) === [01:05:38] Donate $11 a month to tunneltotowers at t2t.org.

[01:06:05] 888-727-BECK is the phone number. [01:06:09] Glenn Beck Program. [01:06:10] Welcome to it. [01:06:12] Quick update on the show. [01:06:14] Glenn was just called away for a bit of a family emergency. [01:06:18] So we asked you to just take a moment and keep him in your prayers as it's been quite a storm for Glenn lately. [01:06:25] And I know the audience is always, you guys are always so cool with understanding how things go in life. [01:06:37] I'm not going to be too specific, but he's going through a tough time with some stuff at home. [01:06:42] And I know he really appreciates your prayers. [01:06:46] If you don't mind taking a moment for Glenn today, 888 727 Beck is the phone number. [01:06:51] We have a bunch going on today. [01:06:53] Tons of stuff to cover. [01:06:54] Jeff Fisher joins us, of course. [01:06:57] Stu. [01:06:57] Chewing the fat. [01:06:59] We appreciate you stepping in here, Jeffy. [01:07:02] Anything I can do for you. [01:07:03] I know. [01:07:04] Of course. [01:07:04] You're always such a great guy. [01:07:06] Another great guy that I just absolutely appreciate and love so much is a man named Don Lemon. [01:07:13] Don, of course, a wonderful broadcaster over at CNN. [01:07:16] He's one of the few that survived the initial wave of firings that happened after Discovery took over and they decided to take a bit of a different direction, maybe, or at least that's the hope. [01:07:29] He was on Stephen Colbert last night. [01:07:31] He's, I guess, on their morning show now. [01:07:33] Yes. [01:07:33] He does their morning show. [01:07:34] He was promoted to the morning show. [01:07:36] Correct. [01:07:37] He wanted to. [01:07:37] That's what he wanted. [01:07:38] He wanted to. [01:07:39] This is a dream for him. [01:07:40] Yes. [01:07:41] Because nothing's, I mean, everyone has a different dream, I guess, but dreams of getting up at 2, 2.30 in the morning. [01:07:47] Yeah, everyone loves it. [01:07:49] Yeah, that's a good dream. [01:07:50] What's fascinating about the whole CNN situation was Chris Cuomo, who was on the morning show, was then promoted to primetime. [01:08:00] Word on the street. [01:08:01] Don Lemon was taken from primetime and moved to the morning show. [01:08:05] That also was a promotion. [01:08:07] That's funny how that works. [01:08:08] I don't know how that works at all. [01:08:10] It seems like they're just saying anything that will benefit them at that moment, which is very consistent with the left. [01:08:16] It sure is, generally. [01:08:17] But we should not say, of course, that CNN is on the left. [01:08:20] That would be misleading. [01:08:22] You know, they just do good journalism. [01:08:24] Here's Don Lemon on with Colbert to talk about that. [01:08:28] Word on the street is that you guys aren't allowed to be liberal anymore. [01:08:31] Is that the case? [01:08:32] I don't think we ever were liberal. [01:08:33] What? [01:08:34] I don't think we ever were liberal. [01:08:36] Not me saying that. [01:08:36] That's the people out there saying that he's not letting you be liberal anymore. [01:08:39] Well, listen, I think what Chris is saying is that he wants Republicans, sensible Republicans. [01:08:47] He wants us to hold people to account, but he wants people to come on and feel comfortable with coming on and talking on CNN and appearing on CNN. [01:08:55] So if you invite someone in your house, you want to make them comfortable, but also by the nature of what we do, we have to hold people to account. [01:09:03] And so that doesn't necessarily mean that we're going liberal or conservative or whatever. [01:09:08] It just means that we are doing what we do, and that's good journalism. [01:09:11] I think there is a specific word in that clip that is the most revealing word. [01:09:18] Sensible. [01:09:19] Oh, I thought you were going to say when Stephen Colbert went, what? [01:09:23] What? [01:09:24] He couldn't believe it. [01:09:25] He couldn't even stick with the bitch. [01:09:26] He's terrible. [01:09:27] That's a whole other story. [01:09:29] But he's going through this thing and trying to articulate what CNN leadership is trying to articulate, which is, oh, we're no longer insane, right? [01:09:38] We're no longer those people that half the country couldn't watch for even five minutes because we were so dedicated to taking down the former president. [01:09:49] Oh, yeah. [01:09:49] It was our life goal. [01:09:51] It still is, really. [01:09:53] It still is. [01:09:54] And I think that kind of reveals it here. [01:09:56] He says he wants to have Republicans on so they can feel safe in their home. [01:09:59] But he uses the qualifier there, sensible Republicans. [01:10:02] He starts, he says, we want to have Republicans, sensible Republicans on with us. [01:10:06] That sensible word tells you everything you need to know about Don Lemon, right? [01:10:11] They will define who the sensible Republicans are. [01:10:14] And those sensible Republicans just always happen to be the ones that agree with liberals. [01:10:20] 100%. [01:10:21] Yeah. [01:10:21] We saw this in the coverage of the whole Kanye West dinner with the president. [01:10:30] Formerly, Kanye West. [01:10:32] I'm sorry. [01:10:32] I will not call him yay or ye or any. [01:10:35] Illegally changed. [01:10:36] I don't care. [01:10:37] What are you talking about? [01:10:37] I don't care. [01:10:39] I'm going to be the person who's going to call him Kanye West because I am not going to call him Ye. [01:10:44] No, I'm not doing it. [01:10:46] I'm calling him Kanye West. [01:10:47] People know who Kanye West is. [01:10:49] Period. [01:10:50] That's the way this works. [01:10:51] Once I learn something, I can't learn new things. [01:10:54] Okay, Grandpa. [01:10:55] No problem. [01:10:55] Thank you. [01:10:56] Get off my lawn. [01:10:58] So Kanye West has this whole dinner with the president and some other sort of fringy right-wing that he brought. [01:11:09] Ye brought with him. [01:11:11] Kanye brought them with him. [01:11:13] And now, I totally believe the president, former president, having no idea who these people were. [01:11:20] I mean, I think most people, even on the right, don't know who these people are. [01:11:22] No way. [01:11:24] That's just the way this works. [01:11:26] And even, I will say, even mainstream media coverage of this dinner have all basically admitted that Trump didn't know who these people were. [01:11:34] Kanye West brought some people with him. [01:11:36] They sat down. [01:11:37] They flattered him. [01:11:39] Trump said, oh, which he says to pretty much everybody in his orbit, hey, you seem like a smart guy. [01:11:45] Like, this is just, you know, Trump, that's a Trump guy. [01:11:46] The report was, right, that he came out and said, hey, Yay, let's go back to have some dinner. [01:11:52] And Ye was like, hey, I brought some friends with me. [01:11:54] All right, they can come. [01:11:56] Right, exactly. [01:11:56] And that's actually, I will say, the mainstream media has actually reported that accurately. [01:12:01] He doesn't seem to know who these people were at all. [01:12:03] Now, of course, there's a problem having, and Kanye West is a fringe figure at this point. [01:12:09] He said all sorts of stuff that, you know, look, he's been insane from the beginning. [01:12:14] Absolutely. [01:12:14] This is something I stand on from the beginning of the Kanye West era. [01:12:19] And I'm talking going back to Hurricane Katrina with poor Mike Myers standing there next to him. [01:12:26] And Mike Myers is looking at the camera like he wants to die in real time. [01:12:31] That was awesome. [01:12:32] And George Bush doesn't care about black people. [01:12:36] And poor Mike Myers just standing there, which is one of the greatest moments of television of all time. [01:12:41] And all that's going on. [01:12:42] And at that point, I said, you know what? [01:12:44] Kanye West is insane. [01:12:46] And then Kanye West was treated as this genius. [01:12:49] And you know what I said then, Jeffy? [01:12:50] Kanye West is insane. [01:12:53] And then he, I think, married a Kardashian. [01:12:56] And you know what I said then? [01:12:57] Kanye West is insane. [01:12:59] And then he put on a red hat. [01:13:01] And then all of a sudden, there was some switching because everyone agreed with me up to this point that Kanye West was insane. [01:13:09] But just because Kanye West took a stance and was brave enough to wear a red hat, which was illegal in celebrity circles, he still was insane. [01:13:20] That didn't make him wrong on every issue. [01:13:21] He's pro-life. [01:13:22] I'm pro-life. [01:13:23] I agree with him on that point. [01:13:24] But that does not mean he's not insane. [01:13:28] He is insane. [01:13:29] Then he, and people forget this all the time, he ran for president of the United States against Donald Trump. [01:13:36] And you know what I said about him then? [01:13:38] That Kanye West was insane. [01:13:40] And now that he's apparently very anti-Semitic, which I didn't know, that's the first time hearing about this over the past few weeks, but he's also insane now. [01:13:49] This is a guy going through severe mental health concerns. [01:13:53] And he has been in public view for two decades. [01:13:56] He's had moments maybe where he's, I don't know, been on his meds, been in therapy, dealing with it where he seemed a little more on the wagon. [01:14:05] But this guy is not. [01:14:07] Look, the story of Kanye West is not necessarily a story about anti-Semitism. [01:14:13] It's a story about mental health distress. [01:14:16] The man is dealing with massive demons of some sort, and they are not under control. [01:14:22] And people like these fringe guys on the right are taking advantage of his fame to get access to people like Donald Trump. [01:14:30] That's something that we should look down upon, that you're using a guy who's insane and in dealing with the current mental health crisis to up your own profile. [01:14:42] That's a problem. [01:14:43] Man, it's another way for everyone to hate Donald Trump. [01:14:46] Yeah, and that's what's another angle. [01:14:49] And that's what the media went with, right, Jeffy? [01:14:51] Sure. [01:14:51] They went with this situation where they said, hey, we're going to now use the Kanye West thing to make Donald Trump look bad. [01:15:00] And look, obviously, Trump's, Trump deserves, he's a former president. [01:15:03] He deserves better people around him to be able to sift through these things to make sure that a guy like this doesn't appear at a dinner with him. [01:15:12] I mean, look, say all you want, and I know we're going to have the, over the next couple of years, we're going to have DeSantis, Trump, God only knows who else gets in this race. [01:15:20] You know, Ron DeSantis is not going to, you're not going to have a story like this with Ron DeSantis. [01:15:25] The people around him are not going to let things like this occur. [01:15:28] And I think the president needs to think about the people he has around him and try to improve that situation, which there is reporting that he is doing that to make sure these things don't happen to him. [01:15:39] Because, you know, again, I don't think he has any. [01:15:42] There's no reason to believe that Donald Trump is anti-Semitic. [01:15:47] It's a ridiculous thing. [01:15:49] He's the guy who accomplished more for Israel than any five presidents before him. [01:15:55] I mean, it's just no sense. [01:16:00] So the New York Times has a story out where they want to say, look, this anti-Semitism thing, it's the last straw. [01:16:05] Now, how many times have we heard about the last straw? [01:16:07] The last straw with Donald, with Donald Trump. [01:16:10] It's always the last straw from the New York Times. [01:16:12] And they're saying that people on the right are out there now saying, look, we can't take Donald Trump anymore because of these anti-Semitic moments. [01:16:22] And one of the people they go to is the head, the president of the Zionist Organization for America, Morton Klein, who's a conservative, Very influential guy who really cares about Israel. [01:16:38] And of course, the New York Times goes to him and they treat him as an expert on anti-Semitism. [01:16:45] And they say, hey, what do you think of this Donald Trump thing? [01:16:48] And he says, Donald Trump loves Israel. [01:16:50] Donald Trump loves Jews. [01:16:51] Donald Trump is not anti-Semitic. [01:16:53] However, he is doing things that are putting real anti-Semites into public view, and that's really scary. [01:16:59] I'm paraphrasing there, but that's generally his quote. [01:17:02] That's a reasonable comment. [01:17:04] Totally. [01:17:05] What I found completely amazing about this, though, is how many times, Jeffy, you've been around here for a while. [01:17:12] How many times have they called our own Glenn Beck an anti-Semite in the New York Times, accused him of all these things all these times? [01:17:19] I mean, we're standing in Israel. [01:17:22] In Israel. [01:17:23] That's how bad he is. [01:17:24] And they were saying he was an anti-Semite, right? [01:17:26] What are they talking about? [01:17:27] Now, the same guy they went to as an expert on anti-Semitism because he would say something mildly critical about Donald Trump. [01:17:37] That same guy, Morton Klein, is the same man who gave Glenn Beck the Defender of Israel award from the Zionist Organization of America. [01:17:48] Same guy. [01:17:49] Same guy. [01:17:50] The same guy that the New York Times will go to in a moment where they want to get criticism of the right. [01:17:58] They will never use Morton Klein or the Defender of Israel award or the fact that Glenn received it from Benjamin Netanyahu. [01:18:08] They will never talk about that when Glenn says something that some left-wing person says is anti-Semitic. [01:18:15] They'll never go to him and say, wait a minute, what do you think about Glenn Beck? [01:18:18] They never do that. [01:18:19] No, because he's going to say something nice. [01:18:21] We don't want that. [01:18:22] Exactly. [01:18:23] And this is the case here with all of these stories. [01:18:25] It's the same thing we were talking about with CNN. [01:18:28] When they need it to be true, when they need. [01:18:31] It's all about journalism. [01:18:33] It's always what's right in front of them. [01:18:35] It's always what benefits them at that given moment. [01:18:39] Now, we've been on Studas America. [01:18:41] We've been doing a segment called the CNN Rehab. [01:18:44] And we're trying to monitor this transition to see if it's really happening. [01:18:52] Is there real signs of progress at all? [01:18:55] How's that working? [01:18:56] You know, I will say this, surprisingly, I think it's mixed. [01:19:00] They've actually put some fact checks out there. [01:19:03] They have put some stories out there that people, you'd agree with, Jeffy, like conservative critiques of news stories, reporting inaccuracies by other news sources. [01:19:13] So there has been some progress, I think. [01:19:16] However, something like Don Lemon in the morning really upends that progress. [01:19:21] I mean, their ratings certainly show it. [01:19:23] I mean, I've gone nowhere with Don taking over mornings. [01:19:26] In fact, I thought the original week, they went down. [01:19:30] That's the week that's supposed to pick up great numbers. [01:19:33] And his first week, I think the numbers were down. [01:19:35] Yeah. [01:19:36] So I don't know if you save it. [01:19:38] I don't think so. [01:19:39] The idea is that CNN is such a great brand. [01:19:41] You try to save it and rip it out from the hole that it's in. [01:19:46] But I mean, I don't know. [01:19:47] I don't know that conservatives will ever look at this again and say, okay, let me see. [01:19:50] This might be fair information today. [01:19:52] How can you after this last couple of years? [01:19:54] They've blown it up. [01:19:55] They sure have. [01:19:56] All right, let's take a break. [01:19:57] Triple 8727 Beck is the number.

[01:21:11] This is the Glenn Beck program. [01:21:29] Welcome back. [01:21:30] Triple eight, seven, two, seven B E C K. Thank you, Jeff. [01:21:34] It's the Glenn Beck program. [01:21:36] Welcome to it. [01:21:37] You know, we were just talking about CNN and how they're going downhill. [01:21:42] And I think, honestly, all of our entertainment is going downhill these days. [01:21:45] And I said, I did, I have to make a correction. [01:21:47] I don't know if I necessarily like you looking at me when you say that. [01:21:50] I have to make a correction from something I said earlier in this program. [01:21:53] I said I have never met anyone who likes the movie Avatar. [01:21:58] And that is not entirely true. [01:22:00] It's someone I want to forget, but it is, there has been one person I've met. [01:22:04] I'm a fan. [01:22:05] That is Jeff. [01:22:05] I'm never a fan of Avatar. [01:22:07] I mean, they were after Onobtanium. [01:22:10] That's what we needed. [01:22:11] I forgot about Onobtanium. [01:22:14] How bad of a movie do you have to be? [01:22:17] I don't know. [01:22:17] They can't obtain it. [01:22:18] What should we do? [01:22:19] On Obtanium? [01:22:20] Great line there, James. [01:22:24] I do agree with you on James Cameron, though. [01:22:26] I mean, that guy's intolerable. [01:22:27] He's just insufferable. [01:22:28] He's agonizing. [01:22:29] No question about it. [01:22:30] And they will never be. [01:22:31] I think we have this avatar, right? [01:22:33] And then we're supposed to have like eight more. [01:22:35] I think we have probably one more after this way of water. [01:22:38] That'll be it. [01:22:39] You think he'll be dead by then. [01:22:42] It takes him 80 years to make a movie. [01:22:44] It's so true. [01:22:46] They say worldwide it needs to get to $2 billion. [01:22:51] They probably, I mean, with sales of everything else, all the articles and everything, they probably are going to get that easy. [01:22:58] You think? [01:22:58] Oh, yeah. [01:23:00] It is huge in places like China. [01:23:02] Yeah. [01:23:02] But they don't let anybody out of their homes anymore. [01:23:04] So I don't know if they can go see these movies. [01:23:05] That's a good point. [01:23:06] There's a lot to say. [01:23:07] Triple 8, 727 back. [01:23:10] The Glenn Back Program. [01:23:11] In case you didn't know, the things you do with your money matter. [01:23:15] You can often affect change in this country with your wallet as much as you can with your vote. [01:23:20] And one way of doing this, of course, is buying things that are made in America. [01:23:23] And I mean, really made in America, not just, they don't just say it. [01:23:27] When you buy clothing from American Giant, you know you're getting true American quality, a product with merit made by people in this country for a fair wage, not one the government's forcing them to pay. [01:23:38] They do it because they believe in it. [01:23:40] Every metal rivet, every drop of ink is made here in America. [01:23:44] You're not just buying the clothing, you're investing in the process that will help save the country. [01:23:48] We need to get back to the independent spirit of American manufacturing. [01:23:52] And American Giant is doing their part. [01:23:54] The cotton, the milling, the cutting, the sewing, 100% American. [01:23:58] You can buy cheaper, sure. [01:23:59] You'll get cheaper quality, though, and you'll made by workers. [01:24:02] It'll be made by workers overseas who are being paid pennies. [01:24:05] Or you can buy quality that will last for generations. [01:24:08] The American Giant patch means something, and it means something to you. [01:24:12] There's American Giant in all of us. [01:24:14] Go to AmericanGiant.com/slash Glenn. [01:24:17] AmericanGiant.com/slash Glenn. [01:24:20] Have one of their hoodies. [01:24:21] Oh, man. [01:24:22] It's fantastic. [01:24:22] It's the best one I own. [01:24:24] AmericanGiant.com slash Glenn. [01:25:14] What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. [01:25:19] This is the Glenn Back Program. [01:25:26] Well, you know, when you want someone to take care of a serious issue, you find a serious person. [01:25:31] And that's what we've done with our nuclear arsenal and our nuclear power plants. [01:25:37] We found the most serious person we can find, and we put them directly in charge of whether you explode or not. [01:25:43] We'll get into that story here in just a second. [01:25:50] We've been talking for a while about investing some portion of your portfolio into precious metals. [01:25:55] How do you do that? [01:25:56] Where do you go? [01:25:57] How about Goldline? [01:25:58] Goldline has been around for a very long time doing right with this audience for quite a long time. [01:26:06] And we always tell you to do your own homework, but you really do need to actually do it because I don't know how much time there is before we go off of a financial cliff. [01:26:14] If Glenn were here, he would tell you it's seconds away. [01:26:18] Anyway, this week only, Goldline is extending their Thanksgiving special to say thank you for an excellent 2022. [01:26:24] With every box of historic graded $5 gold Indians, you will receive 20 of the one ounce silver buffalo rounds at no additional cost. [01:26:31] That's 20 ounces of free silver with every qualifying order. [01:26:35] In addition to that, qualifying orders will receive a personally signed copy of The Immortal Nicholas, Glenn's great Christmas book from a few years ago. [01:26:44] I mean, it's a signed copy. [01:26:45] You got to get your hands on that. [01:26:46] You can only get these from Goldline. [01:26:48] Right now, give them a call. [01:26:50] 866Goldline. [01:26:52] Find out if gold and silver are right for you. [01:26:54] Go to 866Goldline or goldline.com. [01:26:57] It's goldline.com. === Goldline Silver Promotion (13:01) === [01:27:01] So the left has been talking for a long time. [01:27:03] I should also mention it's Stu and Jeffy in for Glenn. [01:27:06] Glenn did most of the show today and was called out for a family emergency. [01:27:10] So we ask you to keep him and his family in your prayers today as he's dealing with some stuff on the home front that we hope he's going to be back here for his TV show tonight. [01:27:23] Of course, it's Wednesday. [01:27:24] So Glenn TV tonight on Blaze TV right before that is Stu Does America. [01:27:30] Oh, that's still on? [01:27:32] Shockingly, at least for a couple more weeks. [01:27:34] As far as I know, it's still on. [01:27:35] We'll see. [01:27:36] But yeah, make sure to, we'll give you updates here during the day on social media as to whether the show he had planned is going to be able to happen because I know he's in the middle of something. [01:27:44] So we do appreciate your prayers and I know he does more than anybody. [01:27:48] So thank you for that. [01:27:50] I know the audience always steps up in these moments and does such a great job. [01:27:54] So thank you so much. [01:27:55] We're talking about our country though. [01:27:58] And the left has been for years and years telling us that global warming is the greatest existential threat that exists in the world. [01:28:09] Now, it's interesting because they have a guy who built the largest electric car company in the world and they now hate him. [01:28:15] They hate him. [01:28:16] They hate him. [01:28:17] Poison. [01:28:17] Because he lets people tweet. [01:28:20] He's the worst person in the world because he allows people to put 240 characters out there that the left might not agree with. [01:28:28] So the greatest existential threat, screw that. [01:28:31] Don't worry about that. [01:28:32] Let's criticize Elon Musk and make him out to be the worst person in the world. [01:28:35] But the other part of this, which has always been interesting to me, I think it's a really defining line in the environmental sort of debate and movement, is if you see an environmentalist who does not support nuclear power, you know they're not serious. [01:28:52] You know that person is a fraud. [01:28:54] Because if you say you care about global warming and you're going to say we should not use unlimited clean energy with no emissions and you don't think we should pursue that at all, you're obviously not making any sense. [01:29:11] Either you want to, you're part of the degrowth movement where you think, you know, we shouldn't pave paradise to put up a parking lot if you're one of those people. [01:29:22] Or none of this is serious because you find out over and over again, even solar and wind projects, people don't want them in their backyard. [01:29:29] They're killing some bird you've never heard of. [01:29:32] There's whales. [01:29:33] They're killing whales. [01:29:34] They're killing whales. [01:29:35] They're not going to be able to do windmills up on the northeast where there's these right whales, I think they are. [01:29:39] Really? [01:29:40] Yeah, they're putting windmills in the water. [01:29:41] They're like, no, no, we can't put them there. [01:29:43] Sorry, there's right whales that swim by there. [01:29:46] And I'm not an expert on the sea, but my understanding of offshore wind, the part that's in the water is really not doing a lot. [01:30:00] It's just kind of, it's just a pole. [01:30:01] Yeah, but you never know. [01:30:02] You know, a whale swimming around bangs into it. [01:30:06] Are these whales drunk? [01:30:09] They're just swimming around bashing into poles. [01:30:11] Never know. [01:30:12] I guess you never know. [01:30:13] So you wonder about our nuclear program because we have not, we've had no nuclear power plants. [01:30:20] I mean, we're closing them down. [01:30:23] We are now two or three generations behind when it comes to nuclear power plants. [01:30:27] We have so much advanced technology we're not even utilizing because people can't get these plants approved. [01:30:34] Well, in comes the Biden administration, and they want to make sure the idea that you might be irradiated at any moment is put in the hands of someone very, very serious. [01:30:44] In this particular case, Sam Brinton. [01:30:48] Love they, them. [01:30:50] You love they them. [01:30:51] They, them, Sam Brinton. [01:30:53] Yeah, because Sam Brinton, you might say, well, I don't know who Sam Brinton is. [01:30:56] You may have seen the photo of Sam Brinton, which is notable for some significant reasons. [01:31:03] You might notice something a little different about Sam. [01:31:05] He always wears, I mean, he always wears a fashionable dress. [01:31:09] I'm sorry, they, them. [01:31:10] These stories drive me insane, by the way, because they all start off with his preferred pronouns are they, them. [01:31:17] So then the story continues with then they instead of he or she's hard to follow. [01:31:24] It really is hard. [01:31:26] There are times where I really can't understand. [01:31:29] You have to stop and go, okay, we got to. [01:31:31] It's not just me making fun of it. [01:31:32] It's not being a conservative saying this is wrong. [01:31:35] We're just changing the definitions of words, that weird conservative trait where you think words should mean things. [01:31:40] No, it's like, I really don't know what's happening. [01:31:43] Is there a group of people doing something or is one person just one person? [01:31:46] Because they've already prefaced it with they prefer they, them. [01:31:49] So we're just going to call them they, them throughout the whole story. [01:31:52] Even when it doesn't make any sense. [01:31:53] Zero sense doesn't matter. [01:31:55] It doesn't matter. [01:31:56] So anyway. [01:31:58] Okay, so Sam Brinton. [01:32:00] Can you walk me through the, Jeffy, as if I didn't understand the sort of biological physics of this situation? [01:32:10] Is this someone who was born a man? [01:32:13] Yeah, no, he's a male. [01:32:14] Yeah. [01:32:14] He's still a male. [01:32:16] Yeah. [01:32:17] So he doesn't identify as anything else. [01:32:18] No, he just, you know, he identifies he as he likes to call himself a pup handler. [01:32:27] I'm sorry. [01:32:28] A pup handler. [01:32:29] What the heck? [01:32:30] He's a pup handler. [01:32:32] That's when men who are gay like to be treated as dogs. [01:32:40] So he handles the pups. [01:32:43] So he is not necessarily the one who wants to be treated as a dog, but he's opposed to that. [01:32:48] But he usually obviously is handling it. [01:32:49] So what we have here is a biological male who is still a male, but often dresses as a female. [01:32:57] Yeah, non-binary. [01:32:58] You know, it's non-binary. [01:32:59] Non-binary. [01:33:00] And is gay as well? [01:33:03] As far as I know. [01:33:04] So we're layering all that on top and we're like, hey, go deal with the nukes. [01:33:07] Oh, yeah. [01:33:08] He's really smart. [01:33:09] He's got all kinds of degrees. [01:33:10] It does have a lot of degrees. [01:33:12] He's really a smart guy. [01:33:13] And I forget what his whole title is there. [01:33:16] He's spent nuclear rods. [01:33:20] I think you might be reading a different part of his. [01:33:22] Forget it. [01:33:23] Okay. [01:33:23] So this person is in charge of spent nuclear whatever his job is. [01:33:28] Okay. [01:33:28] I mean, he went to MIT. [01:33:30] Yeah, like he's really smart. [01:33:31] He does have a big resume. [01:33:34] Big resume. [01:33:35] Absolutely. [01:33:35] But it's important to understand, it's not just education when you're dealing with an important job like this. [01:33:41] It's also stability is an issue, right? [01:33:44] And I feel like there are some signs unrelated to the amount of makeup or dresses this person is wearing that might make you think he's not the right person for the job. [01:33:56] Wow. [01:33:56] Do you have any evidence that would support this thesis? [01:33:58] Well, other than pup handling early on in his career. [01:34:04] Because I know he's big with, he also started, and I think he started the Trevor Project, too. [01:34:09] Or he's big on that. [01:34:10] Which is spoken of. [01:34:11] Yeah, which is a part of the teen suicide and LGBTQ suicide and issues that's, you know, discouraging. [01:34:19] By the way, we should be clear. [01:34:20] Yes. [01:34:21] Discouraging. [01:34:22] But now he's had the gig, right? [01:34:24] He's got the gig in the Biden administration. [01:34:27] And we find out that he has now been charged with felony theft. [01:34:33] And, you know, he faces, I think he goes before the court in December 16th. [01:34:40] I think was the date that I remember right. [01:34:43] And he could face, you know, prison time and a fine of like $10,000 because he stole some luggage at the Minneapolis airport. [01:34:53] And he just decided, no, I don't know. [01:34:54] I'm sure that you, Stu, have a Vera Bradley suitcase. [01:34:59] You're going to be. [01:34:59] I'd be surprised to hear I do not. [01:35:01] I do not have a Vera Bradley suitcase. [01:35:02] Now, does our hero in this story, Sam Brinton, have? [01:35:07] Well, he has a Vera Bradley suitcase now because he stole it. [01:35:13] It was all... [01:35:14] It was worth like $2,300. [01:35:16] I mean, $2,300 for the suitcase. [01:35:18] I know. [01:35:18] That's why I thought you would have one. [01:35:20] That's me. [01:35:22] The guy just spends on fashion. [01:35:23] You know, that's me. [01:35:24] Wait, so he was... [01:35:27] So he's at Minneapolis Airport, and he decides, I like that suitcase. [01:35:32] I'm going to take it. [01:35:34] And he does. [01:35:35] And he walks away. [01:35:37] He takes the tag off of it. [01:35:39] Walks out of the airport. [01:35:40] Tag off of it. [01:35:41] Walks out of the airport. [01:35:43] So obviously, instead of just looking the other way, the person who owned the $2,300 piece of luggage said, hey, I'm missing my luggage. [01:35:53] Where is it? [01:35:55] And they look back at the footage because they didn't have it. [01:35:58] Well, who would know that they have cameras at airports? [01:36:00] Everywhere. [01:36:01] I mean, who could possibly have that sort of in-depth knowledge? [01:36:04] You wouldn't think of it. [01:36:05] You wouldn't think of it. [01:36:05] No, you wouldn't. [01:36:06] In Minneapolis? [01:36:07] Come on, no. [01:36:07] Come on. [01:36:08] Maybe New York, but not Minneapolis. [01:36:10] So they look back at the footage and there he is taking the suitcase and taking the tags off. [01:36:15] I mean, that's bad. [01:36:17] So what was the, was the excuse, oh, I thought it was my bag? [01:36:21] Because that's a typical excuse for people who steal luggage. [01:36:24] And just a helpful hint from me, Jeff Fisher, chewing the fat. [01:36:28] I'm here to help. [01:36:29] When you take luggage, don't take the tags off. [01:36:32] Just keep going. [01:36:33] Just take the luggage and go. [01:36:35] Are you giving tips on how to do it? [01:36:37] I'm just saying if I'm going to do it. [01:36:38] Is that what you're doing? [01:36:40] If you want to. [01:36:41] If you get caught now, it's like, oh, shoot, you're right. [01:36:44] I just thought it was mine. [01:36:45] I'm sorry. [01:36:47] You're good. [01:36:48] But if you're caught taking the tags off, you knew it wasn't yours. [01:36:53] Now, did Sam have a bag? [01:36:57] Yeah. [01:36:58] He did have a bag. [01:36:59] Because I was under the impression that maybe he was flying without a bag. [01:37:03] I think he had his carry-on. [01:37:05] I think he had his carry-on or another bag that he was picking up. [01:37:07] If you have a carry-on, you don't need to go to the luggage depot there and pick it up off the little fancy. [01:37:14] But my understanding, I mean, this was just an ex he went there and he decided that he liked that and he took it. [01:37:22] I have not seen the footage. [01:37:23] Minneapolis airport has not released it to me. [01:37:25] I wish they would. [01:37:26] I'd be happy to look at it. [01:37:28] So then the police call him and say, hey, I mean, again, if you're listening on radio and you've never seen Sam Brinton, it's not like you'd miss him in a crowd, right? [01:37:43] Like, it's not like you'd say, okay, oh, that's a typical nuclear scientist. [01:37:47] That's not me. [01:37:48] Right. [01:37:48] It's like, there's no way to deny that if you're Sam Brinton, that you are Sam Brinton. [01:37:54] And he says, no, I still had my clothes. [01:37:57] The suitcase that I grabbed had my clothes in it, and I didn't do a thing. [01:38:02] And they were like, oh, okay. [01:38:05] And then he called back at the airport. [01:38:07] And then he calls him back and says, you know what? [01:38:10] Oh, my gosh. [01:38:11] You know what? [01:38:12] You're not going to believe this. [01:38:13] Maybe I did pick up the wrong suitcase. [01:38:17] And the police go, but it's really strange because all I had was my clothes. [01:38:21] I just had my clothes. [01:38:23] Really? [01:38:23] Because the hotel found all the clothes that were in the suitcase that belonged to the other person in the hotel room after you left. [01:38:32] I mean, this is really sloppy. [01:38:33] Again, it's wrong to steal someone's luggage. [01:38:37] However, if you're going to steal someone's luggage. [01:38:39] You're going to leave the clothes in the hotel room. [01:38:41] No. [01:38:41] You got to dispose of those someplace else. [01:38:44] And don't worry. [01:38:46] You say, hey, you should really dispose of those clothes properly. [01:38:50] This is the person in charge of disposed nuclear fuel. [01:38:57] It just seems like maybe you give the job to anyone else. [01:39:04] Anyone else? [01:39:05] Like Homer Simpson. [01:39:06] You'd put Homer in charge over this person. [01:39:08] It feels like that would be a better choice, really. [01:39:12] And again, like, I will say, you look at the resume of Sam Brinton as far as education goes, and you can find that they are, I guess, qualified for this job. [01:39:22] But are they the most qualified? [01:39:23] Are they? [01:39:24] Did you look at this person and say, hey, this person's the most stable? [01:39:29] Right. [01:39:29] It's like they keep doing this where they're putting people in positions of power based solely on either their genitals or their skin color or which genitals they prefer interacting with. [01:39:42] All of these bizarre qualifications that have nothing to do with job performance. [01:39:46] It's how Corinne Jean-Pierre, who was hired for all three of those reasons, has this job where everyone knows she's terrible at it. [01:39:54] Everyone. [01:39:54] Everyone knows. [01:39:55] Everyone knows this is the single worst person possible to do this job. === Hiring Based on Genitals (14:50) === [01:40:02] She has no idea what she's talking about. [01:40:04] She's constantly just reading. [01:40:07] She can't defend these policies. [01:40:09] Many of them, to her credit, are indefensible. [01:40:12] I understand. [01:40:12] I know, but she's got her great big book of everything, and it's just, we're just going to read out of that, and that's what you have. [01:40:17] That's what she has. [01:40:18] That's really what she does. [01:40:19] Yeah, every day. [01:40:20] She opens it up and she reads the most basic things that anyone should be able to do. [01:40:24] And stumbles over that. [01:40:25] And stumbles over that. [01:40:25] Says that. [01:40:26] And doesn't know what the words were. [01:40:27] That's it. [01:40:28] Wraps up, picks up her great big book of everything, and off she goes. [01:40:31] It's good good. [01:40:32] This is how this happens. [01:40:33] When you hire based on genitals, I mean, unless you're running a strip club, then maybe that's something, you know, maybe one of the things you want to think about. [01:40:42] Well, you have to, Stu. [01:40:44] I don't know. [01:40:45] Of course you do if you're running a strip. [01:40:47] I shouldn't have brought that up in your presence. [01:40:48] There are some jobs, perhaps, where you should think of this. [01:40:52] When you're talking about nuclear physics, no. [01:40:55] No. [01:40:56] Is Sam Britton going to do jail time? [01:40:58] I doubt it. [01:40:58] And they'll probably pay a fine and give the suitcase back and be fine. [01:41:02] But when they tried to reach out to him, they realized, oh, he's on leave. [01:41:06] Yeah, he hasn't worked yet. [01:41:07] Oh, no. [01:41:08] He's been on leave for over a month now. [01:41:10] What are you trying to get a hold of him for? [01:41:13] Oh, okay. [01:41:14] Maybe they've already realized this problem and they've taken him out of the job. [01:41:18] I'm just going to for it to happen. [01:41:20] Very interesting. [01:41:20] All right. [01:41:21] Let me talk to you about the Tuttle Twins. [01:41:23] There are books, and there are important books, books that change your life and help to shape who you become and what impact you have on society around you. [01:41:30] If your kids or grandkids aren't reading the Tuttle Twins books right now, they need to be. [01:41:34] My kids are. [01:41:35] My kids are going to turn out good because they're doing this. [01:41:37] Okay. [01:41:38] I don't know. [01:41:39] Jeffy, who knows? [01:41:40] Jeffy can't read, so it's hard to put him on the Tuttle Twins bandwagon. [01:41:44] Look, these books are fun and entertaining. [01:41:46] My kids love them.

[01:42:43] 10 seconds station id uh 888-727-BECK is the phone number it's It's Stu and Jeffy in for Glenn, who had to leave for a family emergency. [01:43:01] Her prayers are appreciated. [01:43:04] We were talking about Sam Brinton. [01:43:06] It will be interesting because this might be one of those situations where they put this person in control of something very important. [01:43:13] They got into it after a few months, realized that they just are not reliable to do this job and have sort of quiet-fired them, right? [01:43:22] Like they put them on the sidelines. [01:43:24] They've been on the sidelines for a while. [01:43:27] Now they're traveling and stealing luggage. [01:43:29] Well, yes, I absolutely don't disagree with that. [01:43:33] I kind of feel like he was, everything was okay until he got busted stealing this luggage, which I, you know, if you're stealing luggage from an airport, you're probably stealing other stuff. [01:43:44] Yeah, he don't have a little problem going on, among other things. [01:43:50] Yeah, well, yeah. [01:43:51] But because I think this happened originally in September. [01:43:57] Okay. [01:43:57] So, and now, you know, we're starting to get through it. [01:44:00] And, you know, I think the news was getting ready to break, and we just didn't talk about it. [01:44:05] We went on leave. [01:44:06] Scouring. [01:44:07] And we just kind of, you know, we just wait for the news to break if it breaks. [01:44:10] If it doesn't, we don't have to do anything. [01:44:12] He's already gone. [01:44:13] I kind of got to believe too. [01:44:15] And I am not, I don't happen to be a member, Jeffy, of the LGBTQQIA2 community. [01:44:21] A lot of letters there, are you sure? [01:44:22] And I guess we're going to be adding P soon, I heard. [01:44:24] So I don't know. [01:44:25] I maybe have to update my acronym. [01:44:27] But like, I have to believe, if you are a member of this particular community, you don't want people who are criminals treated this way. [01:44:37] You don't want them soothed out of every negative consequence of their bad actions. [01:44:43] You want them to be called out. [01:44:45] I hope that's true. [01:44:46] You want them to say, hey, look, you know, if we want, what we want is equality, if we want us to be accepted as members of the community, well, being accepted as members of the community means paying a consequence when you steal somebody's luggage. [01:44:58] Yeah, but if he had felt equal, then he wouldn't have had to steal the luggage. [01:45:03] I'm working on something for him, okay? [01:45:05] Jeffy, people don't realize this. [01:45:07] Jeffy has a crisis PR firm. [01:45:09] Whenever you've done something really stupid, you call Jeffy and he says. [01:45:14] Chewingthefat at the Blaze.com. [01:45:16] I'll give you some work it out. [01:45:17] That's the free part of it. [01:45:18] You can go there. [01:45:19] You can either pay Jeffy's firm or listen to his free podcast, but he will give you some shady out for whatever crime you've committed. [01:45:26] You're welcome, by the way. [01:45:27] And it'll start with first of all, and then you'll rant for a while. [01:45:32] Your honor, first of all. [01:45:34] I want to see a lawyer show like Suits with Jeffy as a central character. [01:45:40] You have to give a fan. [01:45:42] I would totally watch that show. [01:45:43] That would be amazing. [01:45:44] 888727-BECK is the phone number. [01:45:47] You're listening to the Glenn Beck program. [01:45:49] Back with more here in just a second. [01:46:05] American Financing, NMLS 1-82334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org. [01:46:11] I mean, we had Jeffy live on that one. [01:46:13] It was amazing. [01:46:13] If you're like most Americans, you probably spend a significant amount of time thinking about how to make more money or at least save more money back. [01:46:21] You know, kind of keep it with you. [01:46:23] And that's important, especially if you're trying to figure out how to sell $2,300 stolen luggage. [01:46:29] Look, if you wanted to make a move in the right direction, if you want to do something that's going to help your financial future, especially in this time with inflation and all this other stuff going on, you should think about a debt, getting all your debt into a consolidation loan. [01:46:44] You could literally be saving hundreds of dollars per month and maybe as much as $1,000 a month. [01:46:48] What would an extra $12,000 per year do for you and your family? [01:46:52] You'd be able to pay for that gas for a little bit. [01:46:54] It's like three tanks of Biden fuel.

[01:47:37] Stu and Jeffy in for Glenn. [01:47:39] By the way, we're down to, I think, the last like 100 Nancy Pelosi Sucks pens. [01:47:45] And with her stepping down from leadership, my understanding is when these are gone, this is it. [01:47:50] This is it? [01:47:50] Yes. [01:47:51] When these are gone. [01:47:52] This is it. [01:47:54] So if you want a great Christmas gift and you think Nancy Pelosi sucks, go to NancyPelosiSucksPen.com. [01:48:01] You can get the very official, beautiful Nancy Pelosi Sucks Pen. [01:48:06] And they are nice. [01:48:07] It features her signature in beautiful gold. [01:48:08] It's a replica of the actual pens she used when she signed Donald Trump's first impeachment. [01:48:14] And the only difference is on those pens, it just said Nancy Pelosi in her signature. [01:48:19] And this in the same font says Nancy Pelosi sucks. [01:48:22] And these have been a big hit for many, many years. [01:48:24] They've been out of stock so many times. [01:48:25] Is your signature auto-penned, though, or is it from actual Nancy's? [01:48:30] It's a great question. [01:48:30] I don't know the answer to that. [01:48:32] I don't know the answer to that. [01:48:32] I will say that. [01:48:33] It's actually hers. [01:48:34] Sure. [01:48:35] But they're super official and you'll love them and they're a great gift. [01:48:38] And I think if you use the code by Nancy, B-Y-E-Nancy, we're saying so long to Nancy Pelosi.

[01:48:51] There you go. [01:48:53] So Disney has got a new CEO and really a stunning move. [01:48:58] As far as like nerdy entertainment streaming media coverage, it was legitimately stunning that Bob Iger has stepped back in for Bob Chapek, the guy who was personally appointed to this role by Iger initially. [01:49:18] But during the whole time that Chapik was in charge, Iger kept needling that he wasn't happy about how things, how he was being handled. [01:49:27] So I kind of feel like maybe Iger was pressured from the board to say, I love Bob. [01:49:32] He's a great guy. [01:49:33] He's the no one else I want for the job than him. [01:49:36] Yeah, because he didn't seem consistent with what Iger. [01:49:39] Iger was like a very pro, he always, even though he was a numbers guy, he came from an entertainment background. [01:49:47] He's like a weatherman back in the day, came from an entertainment background and always talked about how storytelling was the most important thing. [01:49:54] And at least gave that facade of the creative part of this company is the most important part. [01:50:01] And Chapic kind of came out and was like, hey, we're going to charge people more for churros at Disneyland. [01:50:07] And that's going to be our business plan. [01:50:08] That's our plan. [01:50:09] That's, you know, basically what went on here to summarize it. [01:50:12] So Iger's in, Chapek's out. [01:50:17] And it is, it's interesting because Iger, they were initially we were told that Chapic was the guy who said, look, I don't want to get involved in any of these controversies. [01:50:25] I don't want to be the guy trying to change every piece of culture. [01:50:30] I just, you know, let's stay out of this stuff. [01:50:32] Right. [01:50:32] That lasted like two weeks. [01:50:34] Which is really strange, too. [01:50:35] I know it didn't last very long at all. [01:50:37] And you'd think that, you know, he had that frame of mind because of what Iger had been doing, right? [01:50:44] There's, I mean, a lot of the stuff that, you know, was taking place was under Iger's watch. [01:50:49] It was under 15 years prior to that. [01:50:52] He greenlit a lot of these movies that were pushing for the LGBTQQIA 2 plus P community. [01:51:00] A lot of that was going on. [01:51:01] Absolutely did. [01:51:01] Under Iger. [01:51:03] And like, look, you can run an entertainment company and make movies that are targeted to a particular audience. [01:51:10] You can make movies that want to get a viewpoint across. [01:51:13] You can do all that stuff. [01:51:14] The issue that people have, of course, is children. [01:51:18] Like the fact that you're trying to slip this by a parent and not being upfront about it is a real problem. [01:51:24] Case in point, this past weekend, you go through Thanksgiving. [01:51:28] It's Friday. [01:51:29] I'm in a food coma. [01:51:31] Kids are home. [01:51:33] All they want to do is eat leftovers and be on their iPad. [01:51:35] It's just one of those lazy days. [01:51:36] And you get about halfway through that day and your parenting gene wakes up a little bit and you say, I got to do something with these kids. [01:51:44] I'm just going to sit around all day. [01:51:45] Yeah, I wish I knew that gene. [01:51:47] You don't have that gene. [01:51:48] It was removed in a terrible accident for Jeffy. [01:51:50] But you know what I mean? [01:51:50] Like you get to that point where it's like, all right, I can't, you know, I was like working on stuff and I was being kind of lazy too. [01:51:57] I'm in the food coma mode. [01:51:59] And I thought, well, let's go do something. [01:52:00] We got to get you out of here. [01:52:01] Let's get them out of the house and put them in front of a much larger screen. [01:52:04] Hello. [01:52:05] That's the only thing. [01:52:06] Hey, you're on that little screen. [01:52:07] Let's get you. [01:52:08] It's different food. [01:52:09] Stop eating the leftovers. [01:52:11] You need some popcorn, something healthy. [01:52:13] So I was thinking, you know what sounds right right now is a movie because a movie is a great piece of parenting. [01:52:20] You bring your kids there, you plop them down. [01:52:22] They're quiet. [01:52:23] They sit there. [01:52:24] You can kind of space out. [01:52:25] You can eat food. [01:52:26] You can maybe be entertained by the kids' movie, whatever, but you don't have to do anything. [01:52:30] You have to get a better theater. [01:52:31] You might be able to kick your feet up and go to sleep. [01:52:33] Sometimes there's the recliner situation going on. [01:52:35] You got sometimes the waitress service. [01:52:38] Like, I mean, it's some of these movie theaters, at least in Texas, are serious now. [01:52:43] It's a fun experience. [01:52:44] I'll go to any kids' movie because I like the dine-in movie experience so much. [01:52:50] I'll go to any movie. [01:52:50] I don't care. [01:52:52] And so we're looking through and, hey, there's a new movie out this weekend. [01:52:56] It's called Strange World. [01:52:58] Strange World. [01:52:59] And it's a kids' movie. [01:53:00] It's animations. [01:53:01] From Disney. [01:53:03] You know, and I, so I'm like, well, and I'm on alert. [01:53:06] You know, I don't, I don't, I, I'm not a boycotter. [01:53:09] I don't boycott anything. [01:53:11] You know, I like that just not what I do, but I do make individual decisions based on what's, what I see. [01:53:17] So I'm like, I know Disney well enough to know anything they're releasing could be a problem, right? [01:53:22] I want to, that's the opposite of what they built 50 years of their company on. [01:53:27] The point of the Disney Corporation was when I was a kid, anything they released was safe. [01:53:34] Well, it was family. [01:53:35] Anything they released, your parents could bring their kids to always trust it was going to be okay. [01:53:42] It might not be the best movie in the world, but you knew it wouldn't violate your principles, the basic foundations of America, right? [01:53:49] Yeah. [01:53:50] And it wouldn't push into uncomfortable territory. [01:53:54] That's not what they were designed to do. [01:53:55] They were designed to entertain kids and give life lessons that were universal. [01:53:59] That was what they were supposed to do. [01:54:02] So I know enough now to actually watch the trailer of this movie. [01:54:05] So I pull it up and I watch the trailer of this movie. [01:54:08] And Jeffy, if I tell you that there is not one objectionable thing in the trailer of this movie, it is just a bunch of cool creatures. [01:54:16] It's wild landscapes, weird things walking around. [01:54:20] In fact, I be honest with you, I can't tell what the movie's about at all. [01:54:23] There's no plot line. [01:54:24] There's nothing in the trailer that would tell you it's about anything other than a kid in front of a bunch of weird creatures in a strange world. [01:54:34] Right. [01:54:34] All right. [01:54:35] I mean, you know, I don't know what that is. [01:54:36] But again, I have a super low bar to clear here. [01:54:40] I'm tired. [01:54:41] I want to go to sleep in a nice recliner and maybe eat a couple of appetizers and entertain my kids for a couple of hours. [01:54:47] So I have almost no standards to hit. [01:54:50] A movie about nothing with cool colors. === Political Statements vs. Company Impact (09:48) === [01:54:53] I'm in. [01:54:54] I'm in. [01:54:54] I'm going to be asleep for half of it anyway. [01:54:57] So I, but there's something that hits me wrong because I'm thinking to myself, why aren't they telling me anything about this movie? [01:55:05] Why have I learned nothing from this trailer about what the plot of this film is? [01:55:10] So I decide to read some of the user reviews. [01:55:14] Oh. [01:55:15] And if I tell you that two out of every three of them are, why would they try to push this on our children? [01:55:21] Why would they introduce this to our children? [01:55:24] Why? [01:55:24] And I'm thinking to myself, what is this? [01:55:26] Well, you keep reading and you find out that apparently the movie, which by the way, flopped this week. [01:55:31] I was just going to say it did not do well at all. [01:55:33] No, did not do well at all. [01:55:35] They made another political movie, released it called Strange World. [01:55:39] Vulture helpfully summarized how important political messaging is to the film, saying it was, quote, an environmentally focused adventure featuring a queer black teenager. [01:55:53] Apparently, within the first 10 minutes of the movie, they start some same-sex relationship is introduced, and apparently that's the plot of the movie. [01:56:02] And of course, a bunch of environmental nonsense, which it's hard to avoid in almost any movie these days. [01:56:07] Boy, that's a fact. [01:56:08] So spoiler alert, I didn't go to the movie. [01:56:12] Even in my lazy parenting movie, I kind of want to see it just so I can come in here and do a segment about it, but I'm not going to give them any money. [01:56:21] But I mean, this has been the problem with Disney. [01:56:24] Yes. [01:56:25] For a while, they have abandoned what the corporation stood for. [01:56:30] And I listened to some of what Iger did a town hall with employees and question and answers. [01:56:38] And I listened to some of that. [01:56:40] And, you know, I don't know that he's... [01:56:43] Do you believe him? [01:56:44] Let me... [01:56:45] Well, I don't know that he's. [01:56:46] Yeah, I believe him. [01:56:47] He was trying to walk the line. [01:56:48] I don't think he's going to, I mean, I don't think we've accomplished anything. [01:56:52] Let's listen to some of this because conservatives are taking this as, wow, they're taking a step back from the controversies. [01:56:57] They don't want to jump in there. [01:56:58] Tell me, is this what he's saying or is he just sort of walking the line so he's not saying almost like the trailer of this movie, he's not saying anything. [01:57:07] Here is Bob Iger at this big company conference thing. [01:57:12] Here's a virtual question. [01:57:14] Many cast members had wished that Disney stayed out of politics. [01:57:18] Will Disney stay out of making political statements? [01:57:23] You know, I think there's a misperception here about what politics is. [01:57:30] And I think that some of the subjects that have proven to be controversial as it relates to Disney have been branded political, and I don't necessarily believe they are. [01:57:41] I don't think when you are telling stories and attempting to be a good citizen of the world, that that's political. [01:57:48] Just not how I view it. [01:57:49] Do I like the company being embroiled in controversy? [01:57:52] Of course not. [01:57:53] It can be distracting and it can have a negative impact on the company. [01:57:57] And to the extent that I can work to kind of quiet things down, I'm going to do that. [01:58:02] But I think it's important to put in perspective what some of these subjects are and not just simply brand them political. [01:58:09] So two things from that. [01:58:12] Number one, you can see why Bob Iger is a good CEO, right? [01:58:16] Like that is an absolute non-answer. [01:58:18] Correct. [01:58:19] He's correct. [01:58:21] What he's saying there, essentially, is, and a lot of people on the right took this as, oh, well, he's saying he doesn't want to be political. [01:58:29] What he's saying is the things that the statements he wants to make are so right that they don't count as politics. [01:58:36] Correct. [01:58:36] Because there's no other side to the issue because he's so right, right? [01:58:40] Like the LGBT, QQIA2 plus community, what they want is so obviously correct to humanity and being a, quote, good citizen of the world that that doesn't count as politics. [01:58:52] So no, we're not making political statements. [01:58:54] That is what he's saying there. [01:58:55] Now, the fact that he said it like that and not how I said it is why he's a good CEO. [01:59:01] Now, whether he'll make good decisions for Disney and whether I'm going to want to bring my kids to these movies and other situations. [01:59:05] The first clip I saw was where he definitely didn't answer the question. [01:59:09] Yeah, there's one about the don't say gay bill. [01:59:11] Is that the one you're talking about? [01:59:12] We have that as well here. [01:59:13] This is Bob Iger talking specifically about the falsely named don't say gay bill in front of us. [01:59:21] And I will say, is he? [01:59:22] Izzy? [01:59:23] Let's hear. [01:59:24] All right, another virtual question. [01:59:25] What is your stance on the don't say gay situation? [01:59:31] Well, first of all, our LGBTQ employees are very important to us, and we care deeply about them. [01:59:39] That is a given. [01:59:41] Secondly, this company has been telling stories for 100 years, and those stories have had a meaningful, positive impact on the world. [01:59:51] And one of the reasons they've had a meaningful, positive impact is because one of the core values of our storytelling is inclusion and acceptance and tolerance. [02:00:02] And we can't lose that. [02:00:04] We just can't lose that. [02:00:06] I think about Black Panther and the impact that had on the world or a film like Coco. [02:00:10] I mean, I could go on and on and how we actually change the world for the good. [02:00:15] The must continue. [02:00:17] We also, when you tell stories, it's a delicate balance. [02:00:19] You're talking to an audience, but it's also important to listen to an audience. [02:00:24] It's important to have respect for the people that you're serving, that you're trying to reach, and not have disdain for it. [02:00:32] That's an interesting don't say gay bill, though. [02:00:34] Yes. [02:00:35] I'm concerned about that because I thought that was the question. [02:00:37] He did not address that at all in that clip. [02:00:40] He did say that he wants to respect LGBT employees, which he leaves off the QQIA2 plus and the P. [02:00:48] So I don't know if he hates them. [02:00:50] I assume he hates them because you're not allowed to leave that off. [02:00:53] If you listen to it, though, he says, look, he's not saying, hey, we're making movies that kids like. [02:00:58] That's what we do. [02:00:59] That's not what he said. [02:01:00] Nope. [02:01:01] He said, we need to make movies that have a positive impact about inclusion and tolerance. [02:01:06] In other words, all these messages are staying in here with Iger. [02:01:09] They're going to continue. [02:01:10] He was, I mean, he's the reason why. [02:01:11] We just don't want to talk about it. [02:01:12] Exactly. [02:01:13] He's exactly the guy that had all this. [02:01:16] He was there for 15 years. [02:01:17] Yeah. [02:01:17] Chapik was just following, came in after following up on all. [02:01:20] Most of the stuff we're talking about was green lit under Iger, right? [02:01:24] These movies take time to be made. [02:01:26] So he gets to go, he gets to go away and then now come back as the savior. [02:01:30] I mean, that's a good gig, I guess. [02:01:31] Now, he does say, oh, I'll listen to the audience and I'll have respect for them. [02:01:34] And I get that. [02:01:35] You know, it would be nice, right, if that would happen. [02:01:39] Because right now, they do seem to literally hate half the country. [02:01:43] So just avoiding the act of despising anyone who wants lower taxes would be an improvement. [02:01:53] I don't believe him, but he wants to at least communicate that. [02:01:56] But you know what makes Bob Iger a great CEO? [02:02:00] And again, I don't like what he's done with these companies, but just as a positional, a job performance rating, why he's such a good CEO. [02:02:10] The detail that most people leave out is Bob Chapek got this job specifically handed to him by Bob Iger on February 25th, 2020, like two weeks before the economy shut down. [02:02:27] This guy's like, ah, you take the gig. [02:02:30] And remember, February 25th, this is a company that has tons of business in China. [02:02:35] They all knew what was about to happen. [02:02:37] And they're like, I'm out. [02:02:40] Taking a vacation for a couple of years. [02:02:41] You're in, guy I don't like that much. [02:02:44] Society's going to close down. [02:02:45] All the parks are closing down. [02:02:47] I'm out. [02:02:47] I'm out. [02:02:49] Amazing. [02:02:50] That's just absolutely incredible. [02:02:52] All right, let me tell you about Rough Greens. [02:02:55] You know, if you have a dog, I have three dogs. [02:02:58] One dog in particular, President Miles, is approximately 138 years old. [02:03:03] Pretty good. [02:03:04] He's really, I think he's 17 now. [02:03:07] He does not get around as fast as he used to, but he's doing a lot better because he has rough greens. [02:03:12] Rough greens is a great, it's a supplement that you sprinkle on top of the food. [02:03:16] It's not the dog food itself. [02:03:17] You just sprinkle it on top, gives them all the nutrients that they love, helps them with their joints and all this other stuff. [02:03:22] And dogs love it because it tastes great. [02:03:25] And meanwhile, they're getting all the vitamins and minerals and other things that are going to contribute to a healthy life for them. [02:03:30] Whether your dog is as old as President Miles or a puppy, they can benefit from Rough Greens. [02:03:35] The folks at Rough Greens are so confident that your dog is going to love it.
