  Glenn Beck is going to join us.
• 0:14
  Yes,
• 0:15
  he's here.
• 0:16
  He's in Texas.
• 0:17
  He's gonna walk over to the studio
• 0:19
  and join us to tell us all about his brand new venture,
• 0:21
  the Torch.
• 0:22
  It's very,
• 0:23
  very cool.
• 0:23
  Thank you.
• 0:23
  You're gonna like it and give you all the details on that.
• 0:26
  Americans
• 0:26
  are getting creative with their healthcare.
• 0:28
  We'll look at a frightening new trend on that front,
• 0:31
  but we're going to start by doing the warmth
• 0:33
  of collectivism.
• 0:35
  Yes,
• 0:35
  it's Mamdani time.
• 0:37
  I'm very excited.
• 0:38
  This is the monologue I wanted to do the entire vacation.
• 0:41
  Uh,
• 0:41
  because I just kept thinking about this over and over and over again,
• 0:44
  like how can this be happening in our country,
• 0:46
  in the financial capital
• 0:47
  of the world.
• 0:48
  Of course,
• 0:48
  Zoran Mamdani won the mayoral election back in November
• 0:52
  and is going to be ushered in.
• 0:53
  You might think,
• 0:54
  well,
• 0:54
  you know,
• 0:55
  he won the election,
• 0:56
  sure he was a firebrand when he was out there on the campaign tour,
• 0:58
  but what's he really going to be like as a mayor?
• 1:00
  He tried to make that very,
• 1:01
  very clear
• 1:03
  in his opening,
• 1:04
  uh,
• 1:04
  speech,
• 1:05
  uh,
• 1:05
  where he talked about
• 1:07
  the warmth
• 1:08
  of collectivism.
• 1:10
  We will draw this city closer together.
• 1:13
  We will replace the frigidity of rugged
• 1:16
  individualism with the warmth of collectivism.
• 1:19
  If I.
• 1:21
  Campaign demonstrated that the people of New York yearn for solidarity,
• 1:25
  then let this government foster it.
• 1:27
  Because
• 1:28
  no matter what you eat,
• 1:30
  how you pray,
• 1:31
  or where you come from,
• 1:33
  the words that most define us are the two we all share,
• 1:38
  New Yorkers.
• 1:39
  It is unbelievable that anyone is falling for this,
• 1:42
  after what has happened in our history.
• 1:45
  The frigidity
• 1:47
  of rugged individualism,
• 1:48
  the thing that built America.
• 1:50
  He's describing it as frigid and cold and
• 1:54
  awful,
• 1:54
  an awful experience.
• 1:56
  And then the warmth,
• 1:57
  the warm blanket
• 1:59
  of collectivism.
• 2:00
  It's not even
• 2:01
  hiding it,
• 2:02
  it's not even the collectivism,
• 2:03
  the,
• 2:03
  the warmth of working together.
• 2:06
  He's not even using a euphemism.
• 2:07
  He's just coming out and saying it,
• 2:09
  he's just saying,
• 2:09
  hey,
• 2:10
  let me just pitch this to you,
• 2:11
  Marxism.
• 2:13
  Now of course the warmth of collectivism is very,
• 2:15
  very well known.
• 2:16
  They wrote a great book about it.
• 2:18
  It's a little long.
• 2:19
  It's called The Black Book of Communism,
• 2:22
  and honestly I'm thinking that maybe,
• 2:24
  maybe
• 2:25
  it's time for a revised cover of this.
• 2:27
  I'm just going to pitch this to the authors.
• 2:29
  Here it is.
• 2:30
  The warmth of collectivism.
• 2:32
  Wouldn't this be a great new title
• 2:35
  for the Black Book of communism,
• 2:37
  uh,
• 2:37
  which,
• 2:38
  by the way,
• 2:39
  if you don't have it,
• 2:40
  you should just have a copy of that book.
• 2:41
  So you can always refer to it because it is
• 2:44
  an endless
• 2:47
  telling.
• 2:48
  All the horrors of the world
• 2:50
  of communism and what it has done to us over the past 100 years.
• 2:54
  We're talking about
• 2:55
  millions and millions and millions and millions and millions of people dead,
• 2:58
  right?
• 2:58
  Like we're talking 9 figures of people killed
• 3:00
  by this philosophy
• 3:01
  that the people of New York were just like,
• 3:03
  you know,
• 3:04
  let's try that here.
• 3:05
  What could possibly go wrong?
• 3:07
  By the way,
• 3:07
  if you're wondering what could possibly go wrong,
• 3:10
  let me illustrate it here with you,
• 3:12
  and a graph,
• 3:14
  we brought this up earlier this week,
• 3:15
  it's one of my,
• 3:16
  it's my favorite graph of the week.
• 3:18
  It is a comparison of the GDP
• 3:20
  per capita
• 3:21
  from 1931 to 2022 between two countries,
• 3:24
  Venezuela
• 3:25
  and Poland,
• 3:25
  and what you see here is
• 3:27
  when you know
• 3:28
  communism existed in Poland.
• 3:30
  It is well behind
• 3:33
  what we saw
• 3:34
  in Venezuela.
• 3:35
  Venezuela is kicking its butt basically for many,
• 3:38
  many,
• 3:38
  many,
• 3:38
  many,
• 3:38
  many,
• 3:38
  many years until you'll notice
• 3:41
  the Berlin Wall falls and communism,
• 3:44
  the Soviet Union falls,
• 3:46
  and Poland says,
• 3:47
  OK,
• 3:47
  we're done with the communism thing.
• 3:48
  Let's try something else.
• 3:50
  They move toward capitalism
• 3:52
  and you see the GDP of the country skyrocket.
• 3:54
  About $7000 up to $35,000 and yes,
• 3:59
  of course these are inflation adjusted.
• 4:01
  We don't screw around on this program with that sort of nonsense.
• 4:04
  On the other hand,
• 4:05
  look at the Venezuela chart.
• 4:06
  It's much higher than Poland.
• 4:07
  It goes about flat in the 1980 and kind of like mulls along there.
• 4:12
  And then
• 4:13
  Hugo Chavez comes into power
• 4:16
  and you see it tank from about $20,000 of.
• 4:20
  To about $4000 of GDP.
• 4:23
  By the way,
• 4:23
  that little bump at the very,
• 4:25
  very end,
• 4:25
  if you zoom way in on the Venezuelan line with your eyeballs,
• 4:28
  what you will see is a little tiny
• 4:30
  turnaround at the very,
• 4:31
  very end,
• 4:32
  and that's when they got rid of some,
• 4:34
  a very small percentage,
• 4:35
  but a small percentage of some of the socialist nonsense they were attempting.
• 4:38
  And now we're saying,
• 4:39
  hey,
• 4:39
  let's bring that approach
• 4:41
  right to the financial capital
• 4:43
  of the world.
• 4:44
  How's that going to work out for everybody?
• 4:46
  Mamdani is making Democrats' communist fantasies
• 4:49
  come true,
• 4:50
  and that is exactly what is happening
• 4:52
  uh in New York.
• 4:54
  That was one of the things about that speech.
• 4:56
  I could have honestly just played you clip
• 4:57
  after clip after clip of that particular speech.
• 5:00
  I wanted to expand it a little bit on Mamdani since that was a little while ago,
• 5:03
  but he was talking also about like,
• 5:05
  hey,
• 5:05
  I ran
• 5:06
  as a democratic socialist.
• 5:08
  I'm going to govern
• 5:09
  as a democratic socialist.
• 5:11
  And
• 5:12
  a lot of times you see,
• 5:13
  you know,
• 5:14
  because when you take out the results of socialism,
• 5:17
  to some,
• 5:18
  it can appear like a feel-good program,
• 5:19
  right?
• 5:20
  We want to make sure everybody's equal,
• 5:21
  we want to make sure everybody's doing well.
• 5:22
  We want to make sure
• 5:23
  it's rich people that are just,
• 5:25
  they're the bad guys,
• 5:26
  we get rid of them.
• 5:27
  Bring in the good guys,
• 5:28
  the,
• 5:28
  the,
• 5:28
  the normal people like you,
• 5:30
  you're everything's gonna be great,
• 5:31
  working class,
• 5:31
  working class,
• 5:32
  workers of the world unite.
• 5:34
  These slogans worked on people for a reason,
• 5:37
  right?
• 5:37
  Because they do feel
• 5:39
  warm.
• 5:40
  We know what the results are,
• 5:41
  of course,
• 5:42
  but usually what happens
• 5:44
  when someone in the United States gets into office,
• 5:47
  even if they ran on some of that feel-good nonsense,
• 5:49
  at the end of the day they make it clear,
• 5:51
  like in reality,
• 5:52
  I'm going to,
• 5:54
  uh,
• 5:54
  you know,
• 5:54
  I'm sure we're going to be a little bit left,
• 5:55
  but we're not going to govern like socialists,
• 5:57
  obviously.
• 5:58
  That's not what Zohra Mamdani is saying.
• 6:00
  We'll see what the results are,
• 6:02
  but I think as you see his staff come into play,
• 6:06
  you sort of understand the types of things he might be planning
• 6:09
  to do.
• 6:10
  I would say
• 6:12
  to you
• 6:12
  is probably the best thing,
• 6:14
  not for you,
• 6:14
  but to you.
• 6:15
  What is he going to do to you?
• 6:17
  Um,
• 6:17
  let me give you,
• 6:18
  and this is a very strange development in the Mamdani campaign.
• 6:21
  I don't fully understand it.
• 6:23
  But he would sign up staffers
• 6:25
  and instead of,
• 6:26
  I mean,
• 6:26
  normally what you do with a staffer,
• 6:28
  most campaigns,
• 6:29
  you don't even know about it,
• 6:29
  right?
• 6:30
  These are people that interact with the media,
• 6:31
  they interact with,
• 6:33
  you know,
• 6:33
  certain programs.
• 6:34
  They,
• 6:34
  they have
• 6:35
  low level jobs,
• 6:36
  some medium level jobs,
• 6:37
  some high level jobs,
• 6:38
  but they're not like public facing all that often.
• 6:40
  Um,
• 6:41
  but what Mamdani did is,
• 6:42
  every time he
• 6:44
  time you hire somebody,
• 6:45
  you just put out like baseball cards for them.
• 6:47
  It looks like a signing ceremony,
• 6:48
  like you just signed a new center fielder.
• 6:50
  Um,
• 6:51
  Almonte Da Costa with a signature with her signature below it,
• 6:54
  and she's sitting there,
• 6:55
  and Mom Donnie with this just
• 6:58
  goofy smile
• 6:59
  there,
• 7:00
  and,
• 7:00
  uh,
• 7:00
  she's from Queens,
• 7:01
  by the way.
• 7:02
  They put the little jersey next to her.
• 7:04
  Anyway,
• 7:04
  um,
• 7:05
  what do you need to know about,
• 7:06
  uh,
• 7:06
  Almonte De Costa?
• 7:07
  Well,
• 7:08
  some interesting things.
• 7:09
  Think you might be interested,
• 7:10
  particularly if you happen to be a Jew.
• 7:13
  Um,
• 7:13
  uh,
• 7:13
  because,
• 7:14
  uh,
• 7:14
  you might have noticed Mamdani,
• 7:16
  not really a fan of the Jews,
• 7:17
  kind of a more pro-Hamas guy.
• 7:20
  His picture was taken with a Hamas jersey
• 7:22
  next to him.
• 7:22
  That's a totally different story.
• 7:24
  Um,
• 7:24
  but here is,
• 7:25
  uh,
• 7:25
  this one,
• 7:26
  she tweeted this back in 2011,
• 7:29
  money hungry Jews,
• 7:31
  shaking my head.
• 7:33
  Can you believe these money hungry Jews?
• 7:35
  Obviously.
• 7:36
  Basically at the top of her LinkedIn.
• 7:38
  If you're trying to get hired by Zoran Mamdani,
• 7:40
  she also tweeted this,
• 7:41
  woo,
• 7:42
  promoted to the upstairs office today,
• 7:44
  working alongside these rich Jewish peeps.
• 7:49
  How could you not hire her after all of this?
• 7:52
  Then you've got this,
• 7:53
  for so long,
• 7:54
  power has been in the hands of men
• 7:56
  and or white people,
• 7:58
  it has brought us
• 8:00
  ruin.
• 8:02
  I have my problems
• 8:03
  with the United States of America.
• 8:05
  There's a lot of things that happen in this country that I don't appreciate.
• 8:08
  However,
• 8:08
  I would not describe it as
• 8:10
  ruin.
• 8:11
  You know why?
• 8:12
  Because I'm an American.
• 8:13
  First of all,
• 8:14
  I'm proud of the country.
• 8:14
  I actually think it's the best country that's ever been created.
• 8:17
  I think the results in this country are better
• 8:19
  than any country that has ever been created.
• 8:22
  That doesn't mean I'm I'm happy with everything,
• 8:24
  but I certainly would not describe it
• 8:26
  as ruinous.
• 8:28
  But I guess if your goal is to make people who are male and white
• 8:33
  have horrible lives,
• 8:34
  I suppose in theory you could see it that way.
• 8:37
  Also,
• 8:38
  she tweeted this,
• 8:39
  this is 2016.
• 8:40
  A harsh,
• 8:41
  this was a harsh blow,
• 8:42
  but it's not the first time this country has let me down.
• 8:44
  It's important that white people feel defeated.
• 8:51
  I,
• 8:51
  I make this point often,
• 8:52
  and I think it's an important one.
• 8:54
  It's really important that's not for you,
• 8:57
  because most likely you're a conservative or a libertarian or
• 9:00
  just a constitutionalist and you're sitting around here thinking like,
• 9:02
  I see the world somewhat similar.
• 9:04
  I see some of the,
• 9:05
  you might disagree with me on a bunch of stuff,
• 9:07
  but that's fine.
• 9:08
  Um,
• 9:08
  but you probably aren't a hardcore leftist,
• 9:11
  um.
• 9:13
  But I,
• 9:13
  I make this point to leftists all the time,
• 9:16
  which is,
• 9:17
  if you're worried about whether maybe you're making a racist point yourself,
• 9:20
  change the colors.
• 9:22
  I mean,
• 9:22
  like,
• 9:22
  read these tweets
• 9:24
  the other way around.
• 9:26
  Uh,
• 9:26
  it's important that black people feel defeated.
• 9:30
  Would you be comfortable saying that out loud?
• 9:32
  Does it feel racist to you if someone did say that?
• 9:35
  If a white official who worked for Donald Trump
• 9:37
  said it's important that black people feel defeated,
• 9:40
  would you feel good about that?
• 9:42
  Would you think they were a racist?
• 9:44
  My guess is that you would.
• 9:47
  And we got another new baseball card here for you.
• 9:50
  Uh,
• 9:50
  I don't know.
• 9:51
  I've never seen the name CEA.
• 9:53
  It seems like more of a government agency.
• 9:55
  Uh,
• 9:55
  but,
• 9:55
  uh,
• 9:56
  CEA,
• 9:57
  maybe?
• 9:58
  Alright,
• 9:58
  you know what,
• 9:58
  I'm just gonna,
• 9:59
  how about Chey?
• 10:00
  Let's just call her Chey Weaver.
• 10:02
  Chey Weaver is the new baseball card here.
• 10:05
  She's from Brooklyn.
• 10:06
  She's got,
• 10:07
  it's weird.
• 10:07
  Momtani has the exact same smile.
• 10:09
  It's almost like it's kind of not,
• 10:11
  it's sort of disingenuous because he's doing it all the time,
• 10:13
  no matter what he's saying,
• 10:14
  but that was the,
• 10:16
  that was the tool
• 10:17
  to get you to vote for him.
• 10:18
  He was trying to fool you into believing he was just a smiley guy,
• 10:22
  and what could he possibly do?
• 10:23
  How could he harm you at all?
• 10:25
  He's just smiley.
• 10:26
  Well,
• 10:26
  Chey doesn't think.
• 10:28
  Chey,
• 10:28
  uh,
• 10:29
  doesn't think that uh you're going to be harmed.
• 10:31
  Uh,
• 10:31
  Chey is uh very much on board with all of the Mom Donny proposals,
• 10:35
  why she has this big high profile gig with her own baseball card.
• 10:39
  Uh,
• 10:39
  and,
• 10:39
  uh,
• 10:40
  she has some interesting tweets in her past as well,
• 10:42
  from 2019,
• 10:43
  2019,
• 10:44
  not 1984,
• 10:46
  but
• 10:47
  2019.
• 10:48
  Um,
• 10:48
  Private property,
• 10:49
  including
• 10:50
  and kind of especially
• 10:52
  home ownership,
• 10:53
  is a weapon of white supremacy
• 10:56
  masquerading as wealth building public policy.
• 11:01
  Owning a home.
• 11:04
  Is white supremacy
• 11:06
  These are the sorts of people
• 11:08
  that
• 11:08
  Zoran Mamdani has,
• 11:10
  has been able to search out
• 11:12
  in our public.
• 11:13
  People who believe crazy nonsense.
• 11:17
  Put him right into power,
• 11:18
  right?
• 11:18
  This is the type of thing that he,
• 11:19
  you know,
• 11:20
  you put right on your resume if you happen to be someone who wants to be hired,
• 11:23
  or you want to get hired by Zoran Mamdani.
• 11:25
  Chey,
• 11:26
  our good friend Chey Weaver,
• 11:27
  also in 2018 tweeted this,
• 11:29
  impoverish.
• 11:31
  The white middle class.
• 11:32
  Is poverty good?
• 11:34
  Impoverish
• 11:35
  the white middle class.
• 11:37
  Home ownership is racist,
• 11:39
  a failed public policy.
• 11:40
  And I want to focus a little bit more on the front of that because
• 11:43
  the second half is kind of the same thing she said earlier,
• 11:45
  but impoverish the white
• 11:47
  middle class.
• 11:48
  Sure,
• 11:49
  you can focus on white,
• 11:50
  and we know you can focus on white because
• 11:53
  Shay Weaver herself focused.
• 11:55
  Focus on white by putting
• 11:57
  little asterisks,
• 11:57
  little stars around the word white.
• 11:59
  In other words,
• 12:00
  saying,
• 12:00
  focus on this word.
• 12:03
  Uh,
• 12:03
  really put the emphasis on white.
• 12:05
  She wanted you to focus
• 12:06
  on white,
• 12:07
  but
• 12:08
  I want you to focus on something else,
• 12:10
  because it's really easy for us all to sit back and say,
• 12:13
  hey,
• 12:14
  Elon Musk,
• 12:15
  let's take his money.
• 12:17
  Hey,
• 12:18
  Peter Thiel,
• 12:18
  let's take his money.
• 12:20
  He's too rich.
• 12:20
  Donald Trump,
• 12:21
  he's a rich guy,
• 12:22
  let's take all of his money as well.
• 12:24
  It tests really darn well
• 12:26
  when you have a little class warfare
• 12:28
  attached to your policy and you say those evil rich people,
• 12:31
  they have boats and they have planes and they have big.
• 12:34
  4 bedroom,
• 12:35
  5 bedroom apartments in New York City and skyscrapers,
• 12:38
  and they're bad,
• 12:39
  and I don't like them,
• 12:40
  and we should take their things because you deserve their things more
• 12:43
  than they do.
• 12:44
  That's really easy.
• 12:45
  By the way,
• 12:46
  that's awful.
• 12:47
  If you have that feeling,
• 12:49
  you're terrible,
• 12:50
  OK?
• 12:51
  Peter Thiel and and Elon Musk earned their money,
• 12:54
  it's theirs,
• 12:55
  it's not yours to take.
• 12:58
  Even if you think,
• 12:59
  but I want it really bad,
• 13:01
  I know that feels like an argument to you,
• 13:04
  uh,
• 13:04
  on the left,
• 13:04
  but it's not.
• 13:05
  It's not a good point.
• 13:07
  It's their money,
• 13:08
  whether they have 1234 commas in their net worth.
• 13:12
  It doesn't matter.
• 13:14
  You don't get any of it.
• 13:16
  OK.
• 13:17
  But that doesn't test that well,
• 13:18
  to be honest with you,
• 13:19
  my opinion on that.
• 13:20
  Uh,
• 13:20
  that,
• 13:20
  uh,
• 13:21
  you know,
• 13:21
  when people,
• 13:21
  when I,
• 13:22
  when you say billionaires are good,
• 13:23
  a lot of people just don't like that sort of talk.
• 13:26
  But that's why I want you to focus on that tweet one more time,
• 13:28
  not on what she wanted you to look at,
• 13:30
  which was white.
• 13:31
  Obviously we can all agree,
• 13:32
  white people should be punished.
• 13:34
  That's the only way we should run a society,
• 13:36
  on skin color.
• 13:38
  Great idea.
• 13:38
  It's been tried before,
• 13:39
  by the way,
• 13:40
  it didn't work out all that well,
• 13:41
  but let's not look at that.
• 13:42
  What I want you to look at in that tweet is not the word white,
• 13:44
  but the word middle.
• 13:46
  This isn't about billionaires,
• 13:48
  it's not about the upper class,
• 13:50
  it's not about your rich neighbor that has a nicer McMansion than you.
• 13:54
  She's talking about the middle class.
• 13:57
  She wants people,
• 13:59
  the working class of this country,
• 14:01
  to be impoverished.
• 14:04
  And Zoran Mamdani's like,
• 14:06
  sign her up.
• 14:08
  How do I get her in this this organization as fast as possible?
• 14:11
  And by the way,
• 14:12
  let me look back at her baseball card here.
• 14:13
  Her job,
• 14:14
  executive director of the mayor's office to protect tenants.
• 14:19
  Now I guess in some ways you would say
• 14:22
  at least she's not dealing with homeowners directly.
• 14:25
  Of course she is dealing with landlords directly
• 14:28
  and property owners directly
• 14:30
  by punishing them.
• 14:31
  But I guess she's only dealing with tenants as far as her title goes.
• 14:35
  Uh,
• 14:35
  we also have this wonderful,
• 14:37
  if you didn't think the tweets were enough,
• 14:38
  here she is explaining in detail what she wants done
• 14:42
  to you evil white homeowners in this country.
• 14:46
  I think the reality is,
• 14:48
  is that for centuries we've really treated,
• 14:51
  um,
• 14:52
  property as an individualized good and not a collective good.
• 14:55
  And we are gonna ran and transitioning to treating it as,
• 14:59
  um,
• 15:00
  A collective good and towards a model of shared equity
• 15:04
  will require that we think about it differently.
• 15:07
  And it will mean that,
• 15:08
  um,
• 15:09
  families,
• 15:10
  especially white families,
• 15:11
  but some POC families who are homeowners as well,
• 15:14
  um,
• 15:15
  are gonna have
• 15:17
  a different relationship to property than,
• 15:18
  than,
• 15:19
  than the one that we currently have.
• 15:21
  You know that thing that you bought.
• 15:23
  And you raised your kids in,
• 15:25
  you built the white picket fence around,
• 15:28
  she just shoulder shrugged that for you.
• 15:30
  Ah,
• 15:31
  some,
• 15:31
  uh,
• 15:32
  white people,
• 15:32
  people of color,
• 15:33
  whoever's owning a home,
• 15:34
  uh,
• 15:34
  whatever,
• 15:35
  they're not gonna be able to do that anymore because we're gonna require you
• 15:37
  to think about it differently.
• 15:40
  That's the world we're living in right now,
• 15:42
  as if this stuff hasn't been tried.
• 15:45
  It's absolutely incredible.
• 15:46
  By the way,
• 15:47
  I have a good first target for your white homeowners that you want to,
• 15:50
  you know,
• 15:51
  go after and take their property away.
• 15:53
  How about mommy?
• 15:55
  The mom of this particular woman.
• 15:58
  Uh,
• 15:58
  Chey Weaver,
• 16:00
  she said,
• 16:01
  uh,
• 16:01
  of course,
• 16:01
  homing,
• 16:02
  uh,
• 16:02
  owning a home fuels white supremacy.
• 16:04
  Uh,
• 16:04
  she has a $1.6 million dollar house in Tennessee.
• 16:08
  Is that OK?
• 16:10
  Does mommy get to keep her house?
• 16:13
  Usually that's the way that works,
• 16:14
  by the way,
• 16:15
  but
• 16:15
  also I could also see a situation where she hates her mom.
• 16:18
  Couldn't you?
• 16:18
  Couldn't you just see a situation where she hates her white mum?
• 16:22
  Anyway,
• 16:23
  if you were worried that this is just a couple of people,
• 16:25
  well,
• 16:25
  sure they've got jobs that are somewhat influential in this administration,
• 16:29
  but maybe Zolan Mamdani doesn't think that way.
• 16:32
  Just in case you were worried,
• 16:33
  here's his actual policy.
• 16:34
  He wants to shift the tax burden from overtaxed homeowners
• 16:38
  in the outer boroughs to more expensive homes in richer
• 16:41
  and whiter
• 16:42
  neighborhoods.
• 16:43
  Again,
• 16:43
  I ask you to change the color in that sentence.
• 16:45
  Would you feel comfortable saying
• 16:46
  you wanted to
• 16:48
  change,
• 16:49
  shift the tax burden to blacker neighborhoods?
• 16:52
  Would that be OK?
• 16:54
  Zoran,
• 16:55
  would that be OK?
• 16:57
  At least Zoran wants to let people
• 16:59
  have their,
• 17:00
  they can keep their houses,
• 17:00
  we just have to tax them out of them eventually.
• 17:03
  By the way,
• 17:03
  he's got other idiotic policies in case you've missed some of them.
• 17:06
  His World Cup DEI promise,
• 17:08
  this is the latest nonsense out of this idiot's mouth,
• 17:11
  as his out kick writes.
• 17:13
  Uh,
• 17:13
  here is him,
• 17:14
  uh,
• 17:14
  here is,
• 17:14
  uh,
• 17:14
  his mom Donnie talking about
• 17:16
  the tickets
• 17:17
  to go watch soccer.
• 17:20
  What we are seeing,
• 17:21
  you know,
• 17:21
  I had a New Yorker the other day come up to me and ask me
• 17:24
  if there was any way I could help him get World Cup tickets,
• 17:26
  because he was saying that the cost that he saw for a game was $600
• 17:30
  right,
• 17:30
  this is
• 17:31
  increasingly out of reach.
• 17:32
  We have made
• 17:33
  what used to be a working class game into a luxury experience,
• 17:37
  and there are too many for whom it doesn't matter
• 17:39
  where the World Cup is being played in the world,
• 17:41
  they know where they're going to watch it,
• 17:43
  it's TV,
• 17:44
  and we want to ensure that there are more
• 17:45
  experiences available to each and every New Yorker.
• 17:48
  Imagine you can't,
• 17:49
  you have to watch a soccer match on TV.
• 17:51
  You can't go.
• 17:51
  That's because it costs too much.
• 17:53
  Well,
• 17:53
  yeah,
• 17:53
  that's,
• 17:54
  yeah,
• 17:55
  events do cost a lot sometimes.
• 17:56
  You could watch,
• 17:57
  by the way,
• 17:58
  tons of soccer for free.
• 17:59
  You just don't get to watch the World Cup
• 18:01
  for free.
• 18:01
  You can go walk around to parks all over America.
• 18:03
  They're playing soccer.
• 18:04
  Uh,
• 18:05
  unfortunately,
• 18:05
  by the way,
• 18:06
  because it's been the downfall of our civilization.
• 18:08
  By the way,
• 18:08
  people.
• 18:11
  We're in ruins.
• 18:12
  Too much soccer.
• 18:14
  Uh,
• 18:15
  readers added context to the video,
• 18:16
  by the way,
• 18:17
  uh,
• 18:17
  with a community note on X.
• 18:19
  Apart from the fact that the mayor has no influence over FIFA pricing policy,
• 18:23
  there are no games in New York City.
• 18:26
  The New York,
• 18:26
  New Jersey stadium is in East Rutherford,
• 18:28
  New Jersey,
• 18:29
  so.
• 18:30
  He's an idiot on top of being an idiot.
• 18:32
  Um,
• 18:33
  also,
• 18:33
  if you were wondering,
• 18:34
  remember the woman that he hired
• 18:36
  who was like,
• 18:37
  hey,
• 18:37
  I don't like Jews.
• 18:38
  Remember that woman?
• 18:39
  Well,
• 18:39
  you,
• 18:40
  you won't be surprised that one of the first things that of
• 18:42
  course Mamdani did was revoke Israel-related executive orders signed by Adams.
• 18:47
  Uh,
• 18:47
  this is one of the revoked orders blocks
• 18:49
  all city agencies from divesting from Israel.
• 18:52
  And the other expanded the definition of anti-Semitism
• 18:55
  to match the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition,
• 18:59
  which classifies some criticism of Israel as anti-Semitic.
• 19:02
  Mamdani defended his orders,
• 19:04
  telling reporters that some Jewish organizations
• 19:06
  in the city also shared his concerns
• 19:08
  with the expanded definition
• 19:09
  of
• 19:10
  the term.
• 19:12
  It's one time he likes Jews when they agree with him.
• 19:14
  Every other time,
• 19:15
  eh,
• 19:15
  whatever.
• 19:16
  Whatever happens to them happens to them.
• 19:18
  Of course this is all,
• 19:19
  there's anti-Semitic policies,
• 19:21
  there are horrible,
• 19:23
  you know,
• 19:25
  just generalized domestic policies he's implementing,
• 19:27
  and of course the economic ones.
• 19:29
  When you come to when you're talking about communism
• 19:32
  and socialism,
• 19:32
  it is very,
• 19:33
  very
• 19:34
  key to economics,
• 19:35
  and we're now seeing this happen in California,
• 19:38
  and I wouldn't be surprised to see some of this coming the way of New Yorkers as well,
• 19:42
  the billionaire peril or the political peril of the California billionaire
• 19:46
  tax.
• 19:47
  is trying to do is
• 19:48
  tax your wealth.
• 19:49
  If you're a billionaire,
• 19:50
  they're just going to take 5% of your wealth,
• 19:53
  uh,
• 19:53
  and of course all the billionaires before this happens,
• 19:56
  obviously will flee the state.
• 19:57
  They're not going to give 5% for no reason to the state.
• 20:00
  If they get a dollar out of that,
• 20:01
  I'll be surprised,
• 20:02
  frankly,
• 20:03
  if it,
• 20:04
  if it passes.
• 20:05
  But these are the types of policies
• 20:06
  that
• 20:08
  Zorad Mamdani
• 20:09
  wants to implement.
• 20:10
  And you know,
• 20:11
  again.
• 20:12
  We're all disappointed in the idea of Zorai Mamdani becoming mayor of New York City.
• 20:16
  It's a really bad thing for the country.
• 20:17
  Now,
• 20:17
  of course,
• 20:18
  the second place guy was Andrew Cuomo,
• 20:20
  who is awful.
• 20:21
  You may have heard this,
• 20:22
  Andrew Cuomo is awful.
• 20:24
  Dot com.
• 20:25
  You may know that,
• 20:27
  uh,
• 20:28
  they,
• 20:28
  there were no good options,
• 20:29
  at least not ones that were considered by New Yorkers.
• 20:33
  The point of this though,
• 20:34
  the one good thing that comes out of
• 20:35
  Zoran Mamdani winning is that we can remind people
• 20:38
  all the time
• 20:39
  that this is what the left is.
• 20:41
  At its core,
• 20:42
  the left
• 20:43
  is
• 20:44
  Zoran Mamdani.
• 20:45
  There are people on the left who will try to do the same things.
• 20:50
  At a slower pace
• 20:51
  than Zoran Mamdani,
• 20:53
  there are plenty of people on the left who will not actually publicly tweet
• 20:58
  the fact that they want white people to be impoverished
• 21:01
  and they want Jews to go away.
• 21:03
  There are plenty of people on the left
• 21:05
  who will tell you those things,
• 21:07
  but in reality,
• 21:11
  So many of them believe
• 21:13
  those ideas.
• 21:14
  They just don't tweet them.
• 21:16
  They just don't spit them out like Zoran Mamdani does.
• 21:19
  So watching him attempt this
• 21:22
  giant experiment in the city is going to be a fascinating thing
• 21:27
  to observe.
• 21:27
  Alright,
• 21:28
  we have Glenn Beck
• 21:29
  in the bullpen,
• 21:30
  ready to go.
• 21:31
  We'll bring him in
• 21:32
  next.
• 21:43
  Most days
• 21:44
  don't really slow down on their own anymore.
• 21:46
  Have you noticed this?
• 21:47
  They sort of just roll straight from one obligation to the next,
• 21:51
  and if you don't deliberately claim a pause,
• 21:53
  it's never gonna happen.
• 21:55
  That's the space Kindred Harvest is meant to fill,
• 21:57
  not as an escape
• 21:59
  per se,
• 21:59
  but
• 22:00
  as a reset,
• 22:01
  that you can actually fit into real life.
• 22:03
  Kindred Harvest starts with ingredients that don't need explaining,
• 22:06
  whole tea leaves,
• 22:07
  herbs,
• 22:08
  roots,
• 22:09
  and flowers that look like.
• 22:10
  What they are,
• 22:12
  they taste the way that they should.
• 22:14
  They don't rely on shortcuts and artificial stuff to get in there.
• 22:17
  Now you can see the quality before you even see the water hitting the cup,
• 22:21
  and you know,
• 22:22
  of course you can feel and taste the difference once
• 22:24
  it does.
• 22:25
  What I appreciate about is how intentional they are with all of this stuff.
• 22:28
  The blends they have are designed to be clean and straightforward
• 22:32
  without unnecessary processing,
• 22:33
  and even the tea bags themselves are
• 22:35
  made from plant-based material instead of plastic.
• 22:38
  So
• 22:38
  what you're drinking stays exactly what it's supposed to be.
• 22:41
  Nothing extra,
• 22:41
  nothing hidden.
• 22:42
  Choose American Quality.
• 22:44
  Choose Kindred Harvest.
• 22:45
  They're cultivating goodness

  Joined now by Glenn Beck,
• 23:04
  the man behind the torch.
• 23:06
  Yes,
• 23:07
  you can access this
• 23:08
  absolutely free right now,
• 23:09
  uh,
• 23:09
  at the end of the month at Glenn Beck.com.
• 23:11
  We'll talk more about this as we go through.
• 23:13
  Glenn,
• 23:13
  thanks so much for coming on.
• 23:14
  Thank you,
• 23:15
  Stu.
• 23:15
  Yeah,
• 23:15
  well,
• 23:16
  uh,
• 23:16
  so let's,
• 23:17
  I want to talk about the torch.
• 23:17
  I wanna,
• 23:18
  I wanna go through all of this,
• 23:19
  um.
• 23:21
  So let's start though with the Blaze.
• 23:22
  You're still on the Blaze.
• 23:23
  Yeah.
• 23:24
  You're still on the Blaze,
• 23:25
  like for Blaze TV subscribers,
• 23:26
  this is the Blaze.
• 23:27
  OK,
• 23:27
  good.
• 23:27
  For subscribers I watched a radio show.
• 23:29
  You're there.
• 23:30
  You're getting the same stuff that you're getting,
• 23:32
  so that's all there.
• 23:33
  And then in addition,
• 23:35
  we've got the torch.
• 23:35
  This is a totally new thing you've developed.
• 23:38
  Before we get into
• 23:39
  what it is,
• 23:40
  give,
• 23:40
  give me why you're doing it.
• 23:41
  So,
• 23:42
  um,
• 23:43
  I'm not doing the Wednesday night show anymore.
• 23:45
  I'm still doing the,
• 23:46
  you know,
• 23:47
  interview podcast and I think that's still on Blaze,
• 23:50
  um,
• 23:51
  but
• 23:51
  uh.
• 23:53
  You know,
• 23:53
  I sold the blaze,
• 23:54
  I don't know,
• 23:55
  a few years ago because
• 23:56
  I'm not a good businessman.
• 23:58
  No way.
• 23:58
  Yeah,
• 23:59
  no,
• 23:59
  it's,
• 23:59
  I'm gonna admit that.
• 24:00
  Um,
• 24:01
  but,
• 24:02
  uh,
• 24:02
  uh,
• 24:03
  and so
• 24:04
  I wanted to do certain things,
• 24:05
  but.
• 24:07
  There were so many commitments that I had to do
• 24:10
  every day.
• 24:10
  I'm probably giving too much information here,
• 24:12
  but I just wanna be honest.
• 24:13
  I,
• 24:14
  there were too many commitments I had to do every day,
• 24:17
  and I didn't wanna do that anymore because
• 24:18
  there are things that I'm passionate about,
• 24:20
  you know me,
• 24:20
  I have an attention span of a goldfish,
• 24:22
  and so there are things that I'm really passionate
• 24:24
  about and I wanna do them right now.
• 24:27
  But the system was like,
• 24:28
  OK,
• 24:29
  you'll have to do that in 3 weeks,
• 24:30
  and then by 3 weeks comes I'm not interested anymore,
• 24:33
  you know,
• 24:33
  I've never,
• 24:34
  never dealt with any of those issues.
• 24:36
  So there are things that I want to do and
• 24:39
  technology
• 24:40
  is so important,
• 24:41
  education is so important
• 24:43
  that
• 24:44
  I wanted just to focus on what
• 24:46
  I really felt passionate about all the time when I was passionate about it.
• 24:52
  Put it out at my pace
• 24:54
  um and focus on AI and technology and education and history
• 25:00
  um and you know me,
• 25:00
  I've been saying this for 3 or 4 years I'm like I.
• 25:04
  There was a change in me and I'm like I,
• 25:07
  I don't,
• 25:07
  I'm,
• 25:08
  I'm not,
• 25:08
  we're,
• 25:09
  I'm not in the right place.
• 25:10
  Remember me saying I'm just,
• 25:11
  I'm not,
• 25:12
  I'm not,
• 25:12
  I'm not
• 25:13
  doing what I'm,
• 25:14
  I don't know what's wrong with me,
• 25:15
  but I'm not in the right place.
• 25:17
  And that happens to me,
• 25:18
  you know,
• 25:18
  about every people through that.
• 25:19
  People usually go out and buy convertibles in these moments,
• 25:22
  uh,
• 25:22
  but you're starting a brand new thing.
• 25:23
  I just torch my whole career and say,
• 25:25
  let's start over.
• 25:27
  Um,
• 25:27
  but so
• 25:28
  because
• 25:29
  this is,
• 25:29
  they're deep dives here,
• 25:30
  which is,
• 25:31
  is an interesting thing.
• 25:32
  Like,
• 25:32
  so if you have,
• 25:33
  you can add on,
• 25:34
  uh,
• 25:35
  you know,
• 25:35
  the,
• 25:35
  the torch.
• 25:36
  You go to Glenn Beck.com,
• 25:37
  right?
• 25:37
  And,
• 25:37
  and right now it's totally free for the whole month,
• 25:39
  for a whole month.
• 25:39
  So you can check out all the stuff that's there.
• 25:41
  There's a bunch of different features.
• 25:43
  Give me ideas of the types of content you want,
• 25:44
  you wanna do here.
• 25:46
  I'm going to,
• 25:48
  um,
• 25:48
  South Korea,
• 25:49
  um,
• 25:51
  hopefully in the next 3 or 4 months.
• 25:53
  Um,
• 25:53
  does it have to do with content or it's just a vacation?
• 25:57
  You can't believe.
• 25:58
  The prostitutes you can get in South Korea.
• 26:01
  No,
• 26:02
  no,
• 26:02
  I'm,
• 26:03
  uh,
• 26:04
  Reverend Sun is in prison
• 26:07
  and,
• 26:08
  and what's happening,
• 26:09
  nobody is paying attention to South Korea.
• 26:11
  We're about to lose South Korea.
• 26:13
  That
• 26:14
  would be horrible for the world,
• 26:16
  horrible,
• 26:17
  and I think,
• 26:17
  I think it's a possibility in the next 3 years.
• 26:20
  Um,
• 26:21
  and this is something too that,
• 26:22
  uh,
• 26:22
  Charlie Kirk was big on right before he died,
• 26:25
  right?
• 26:26
  This was a big he promised like he was there 2
• 26:28
  days before he died or had just talked to Reverend Soon
• 26:32
  2 days before he died and said
• 26:34
  if they throw you in prison,
• 26:35
  I will be there
• 26:37
  and,
• 26:37
  um,
• 26:38
  South Korea,
• 26:39
  I've talked to the family and they know
• 26:41
  if no,
• 26:42
  if America's not paying attention,
• 26:43
  it's just gonna get worse
• 26:45
  and nobody is paying attention to it.
• 26:47
  So things like that,
• 26:49
  but also we just released something today on capital controls.
• 26:54
  Let me explain.
• 26:56
  I grew up
• 26:58
  Doing
• 26:59
  broadcasting.
• 27:01
  Broadcast just seems like a word.
• 27:03
  It actually means something.
• 27:04
  It means broad,
• 27:05
  a huge audience,
• 27:07
  OK?
• 27:08
  So
• 27:09
  you always had to,
• 27:10
  I started in top 40 radio.
• 27:11
  You have to play the hits whether you like it or not.
• 27:14
  You play the hits and you play them in the way,
• 27:17
  knowing,
• 27:17
  you know,
• 27:17
  listen to top 40 radio.
• 27:19
  You play them over and over again because you're hitting this
• 27:21
  huge audience that is only there for a few minutes,
• 27:24
  OK?
• 27:25
  When we were at Fox,
• 27:26
  most people did not,
• 27:28
  my show was different.
• 27:30
  People would watch 3 out of 5 shows a week,
• 27:32
  OK?
• 27:33
  Most shows you watch 1 out of every 5 or 7,
• 27:38
  OK?
• 27:39
  So you have to hit things over and over again and you have to be
• 27:43
  broad.
• 27:44
  You have to hit a lot of things in about that deep,
• 27:46
  OK?
• 27:48
  Now
• 27:49
  podcasting has become narrowcast,
• 27:52
  and that's why we're split in so many different categories.
• 27:55
  There's people who are experts on everything.
• 27:58
  I want to be able to still I have to for radio,
• 28:01
  my podcast everyday podcast it's seen on Blaze and
• 28:05
  also in a different way on Glenn Beck.com,
• 28:08
  um,
• 28:08
  that is a broadcast we will hit
• 28:11
  all of the biggest topics and we will go as deep as we can in the time allowed.
• 28:17
  I want to take those topics now and go much deeper
• 28:21
  so we're gonna go
• 28:23
  narrow on the things that we that I am interested in
• 28:26
  that I think are important and that the audience is asking for
• 28:31
  and then we'll help you become an expert on that topic
• 28:35
  and we'll go as deep as we possibly can
• 28:38
  so I can tell you
• 28:39
  like today.
• 28:41
  Capital controls,
• 28:42
  you know,
• 28:42
  hey,
• 28:43
  there's some things that are gonna be happening and
• 28:46
  one kind of capital control,
• 28:47
  it's not technically a capital control,
• 28:49
  but so you can understand it,
• 28:51
  what Mamdani is saying
• 28:53
  up in New York about,
• 28:54
  you know,
• 28:54
  hey,
• 28:55
  you're gonna have a different relationship
• 28:57
  depending on your color
• 28:58
  with property.
• 28:59
  What?
• 29:01
  What he's saying is
• 29:03
  because of who you are,
• 29:04
  you won't be able to spend your money the way you want to spend your money.
• 29:09
  The government will tell you how to spend the money,
• 29:11
  OK?
• 29:12
  When
• 29:13
  countries spend themselves into oblivion or you start to have,
• 29:18
  you start to have serious financial problems.
• 29:22
  Capital controls come in and that's the government trapping money
• 29:27
  into
• 29:28
  the country.
• 29:29
  You're seeing this in California you're gonna see it in New York.
• 29:32
  They're gonna start.
• 29:33
  California is now putting a wealth tax on
• 29:36
  that even if you move from California,
• 29:39
  you're still gonna have to pay taxes
• 29:41
  in California.
• 29:42
  I'm not living in the state anymore.
• 29:43
  I chose to get out.
• 29:44
  mm.
• 29:45
  Capital controls,
• 29:46
  OK,
• 29:47
  that's trapping the money because the state knows it's collapsing.
• 29:52
  So
• 29:53
  we show all of this and it's a 30 minute deep dive
• 29:56
  just on that,
• 29:57
  what you need to watch for because it'll,
• 29:59
  it'll be said and we show you exactly how the hosts are gonna say it on TV
• 30:04
  and it'll go right over your head.
• 30:06
  But if you start hearing them,
• 30:08
  you have to be prepared.
• 30:09
  So
• 30:10
  we show you
• 30:11
  what the odds are,
• 30:12
  what the words are,
• 30:13
  what the odds are,
• 30:14
  and then how to prepare.
• 30:16
  I hope you're not promoting the frigidity of uh of
• 30:20
  of rugged individualism.
• 30:21
  No,
• 30:22
  the warmth of collectivism.
• 30:24
  We're gonna make a blanket,
• 30:25
  warmth of collectivism blanket.
• 30:28
  Um,
• 30:29
  uh,
• 30:29
  so it's not,
• 30:29
  uh,
• 30:30
  just,
• 30:31
  it's,
• 30:31
  but they're shows,
• 30:32
  they're like documentaries.
• 30:34
  I'm not building a network,
• 30:35
  so it's not like this,
• 30:37
  you know,
• 30:37
  I don't have shows like
• 30:38
  you,
• 30:39
  um,
• 30:40
  so I'm not,
• 30:41
  I'm not competing there.
• 30:42
  It's,
• 30:43
  it's,
• 30:43
  um,
• 30:44
  documentaries.
• 30:45
  It is,
• 30:46
  um,
• 30:48
  some AI,
• 30:49
  uh,
• 30:50
  for George AI and Glenn AI give you short little 10 minute
• 30:53
  documentaries every day.
• 30:54
  Today I think is on Greenland.
• 30:56
  And I actually did the writing on that one with the AI,
• 31:00
  um,
• 31:00
  but I just,
• 31:01
  there are things I don't have time to go into a studio and record,
• 31:05
  so
• 31:05
  AI
• 31:06
  does that for us,
• 31:07
  but
• 31:08
  we write it all,
• 31:09
  um,
• 31:10
  based on this proprietary library that we have
• 31:13
  of,
• 31:15
  I think we have all 30 years now in of.
• 31:18
  Of
• 31:18
  every show I've done on talk radio,
• 31:21
  every speech I've given,
• 31:22
  every book I've given,
• 31:23
  every word I've said in the last 30 years online or on TV,
• 31:28
  on radio,
• 31:30
  it's all in this library,
• 31:31
  so we can ask it.
• 31:33
  Tell me about George.
• 31:34
  Do 15 minutes on
• 31:36
  George Soros and how he,
• 31:39
  his business really works,
• 31:41
  and it takes all of that.
• 31:42
  It's like me but with a photographic memory,
• 31:45
  and it can assemble it into a 10 minute.
• 31:47
  You definitely do not have.
• 31:50
  But that,
• 31:51
  uh,
• 31:51
  first of all,
• 31:51
  this sounds cheap.
• 31:53
  Uh,
• 31:54
  well,
• 31:54
  you know me.
• 31:55
  Yes,
• 31:55
  yes.
• 31:56
  Um,
• 31:56
  so in,
• 31:57
  in this is interesting because it's with both Glenn AI and George AI.
• 32:02
  They're sort of cordoned off from the world,
• 32:04
  right?
• 32:04
  Like the George AI,
• 32:05
  for example,
• 32:06
  you've put in just these historical documents,
• 32:08
  some of which
• 32:10
  no one else has access to.
• 32:11
  I'm going over to the library right now to give them.
• 32:16
  About
• 32:19
  Uh,
• 32:19
  Probably
• 32:21
  25,000 pages fine print
• 32:24
  of just the letters that George Washington wrote.
• 32:28
  So
• 32:28
  every word that he ever wrote from 1771
• 32:35
  to like 1789.
• 32:38
  Every word he ever wrote
• 32:40
  that's going in there,
• 32:41
  but what's not going in there is anything about Donald Trump,
• 32:45
  anything about me.
• 32:46
  We did something on
• 32:48
  Venezuela on Monday.
• 32:51
  And we had to tell it and we coordinate we,
• 32:53
  we put,
• 32:54
  you know,
• 32:55
  electric fence around this
• 32:56
  so we can get it to relate to what we're trying to talk about.
• 33:01
  We will,
• 33:01
  we had to teach it what Iran is,
• 33:03
  what Venezuela is,
• 33:04
  what all of these things are,
• 33:06
  and then what we did
• 33:08
  and then said,
• 33:09
  is there any example from your time period and how should we view this?
• 33:14
  Is how would the founders view this?
• 33:17
  And it was fascinating to watch,
• 33:19
  but it does not have any current
• 33:22
  information.
• 33:22
  It's only,
• 33:23
  it's only allowed
• 33:25
  to go in and look at what
• 33:27
  it has
• 33:28
  memorized from that day.
• 33:30
  It's like from their time.
• 33:31
  I mean it's as close as we can possibly come to basically asking George Washington,
• 33:35
  hey,
• 33:36
  how would you deal with today's world?
• 33:37
  Correct?
• 33:38
  And it's,
• 33:38
  it's funny because you should listen.
• 33:40
  Yesterday's,
• 33:41
  I think,
• 33:41
  was on.
• 33:43
  Uh,
• 33:43
  the constitutionality
• 33:45
  of
• 33:46
  maybe that was Venezuela,
• 33:47
  I can't remember,
• 33:48
  but,
• 33:49
  uh,
• 33:49
  I saw some comment that said,
• 33:51
  uh,
• 33:51
  you know,
• 33:51
  Glenn Beck,
• 33:52
  of course he's got George Washington defending Donald Trump,
• 33:55
  and I responded,
• 33:56
  did you listen to it?
• 33:58
  Because
• 33:59
  he said
• 34:01
  these things may
• 34:02
  be in our national interest.
• 34:04
  That's for you to decide.
• 34:06
  That may be in our national interest.
• 34:08
  But how you do it
• 34:10
  is more important than national interest.
• 34:14
  If it violates the constitution
• 34:16
  in these ways,
• 34:18
  you cannot do those things.
• 34:22
  Principles are much more important than.
• 34:26
  The outcome
• 34:28
  Um,
• 34:28
  you're gonna be diving a lot into history,
• 34:30
  I know,
• 34:31
  as part of this.
• 34:31
  There's a history podcast as well available at Glenbeck.com.
• 34:35
  We're currently writing songs.
• 34:36
  I'm writing songs now
• 34:37
  on
• 34:38
  the,
• 34:40
  uh,
• 34:40
  Bill of Rights,
• 34:41
  almost like a,
• 34:42
  um.
• 34:44
  Uh,
• 34:45
  what was that used to,
• 34:46
  what was that called,
• 34:47
  you know,
• 34:47
  I'm just a bill on Capitol Hill,
• 34:49
  yeah,
• 34:50
  um,
• 34:50
  writing songs right now for youth to teach them the Bill of Rights.
• 34:55
  I have,
• 34:56
  I sent them to,
• 34:57
  uh,
• 34:57
  Mike Lee,
• 34:58
  and he's like,
• 34:59
  what,
• 34:59
  what
• 35:00
  did you just send me?
• 35:01
  And I'm like,
• 35:02
  I just need you to check the lyrics to make sure.
• 35:04
  I know it probably doesn't make sense,
• 35:05
  but I just wanna make sure this is rock solid in your opinion on teaching
• 35:09
  the Bill of Rights.
• 35:11
  So I haven't heard back from him yet.
• 35:13
  He's probably like,
• 35:14
  what is happening?
• 35:15
  He was,
• 35:16
  uh,
• 35:16
  there's also a fiction podcast,
• 35:18
  fully produced fiction Days of Ash that I wrote,
• 35:22
  10 minutes each,
• 35:23
  10 to 15 minutes each,
• 35:25
  uh,
• 35:25
  and it's fiction,
• 35:27
  uh,
• 35:27
  it's dystopian,
• 35:28
  of course.
• 35:29
  The 1st
• 35:30
  10 episodes,
• 35:31
  5 are out right now.
• 35:32
  The 1st 10 episodes
• 35:34
  of the first season are
• 35:36
  about how the world breaks down
• 35:38
  in a financial collapse and it follows one guy.
• 35:41
  And
• 35:42
  he just,
• 35:43
  he's just,
• 35:44
  it's like a almost like a log,
• 35:46
  you know,
• 35:46
  where he's just talking about here's what's happening
• 35:48
  in our world and blah blah blah,
• 35:49
  and he describes.
• 35:50
  Um,
• 35:51
  the second season is where I think it really is good,
• 35:54
  um,
• 35:55
  and I'm in the middle of writing that now,
• 35:56
  and that is,
• 35:58
  uh,
• 35:58
  where.
• 35:59
  AI has started at the end of the first season.
• 36:02
  AI is starting to assert itself.
• 36:04
  Something is starting to coordinate and take control and
• 36:07
  shut power on and off in certain areas,
• 36:10
  um,
• 36:10
  and watch,
• 36:12
  uh,
• 36:12
  and,
• 36:13
  um,
• 36:14
  and nobody knows who actually is in control.
• 36:16
  And in the second season.
• 36:18
  A religious element starts to
• 36:21
  come into it as well,
• 36:22
  and it's,
• 36:23
  it's,
• 36:24
  it's good.
• 36:24
  It's gonna be great.
• 36:25
  There's tons of great stuff.
• 36:26
  So if you,
• 36:26
  you know,
• 36:27

  it's a big venture.
• 37:15
  Thanks so much.
• 37:16
  Thanks for coming on.
• 37:27
  There's a lot of different healthcare
• 37:29
  plans going back and forth,
• 37:30
  you know,
• 37:31
  of course there's the nationalized universal healthcare and there's the,
• 37:34
  oh,
• 37:35
  free market solutions and all that
• 37:37
  new proposal for you,
• 37:38
  just gonna throw this out there.
• 37:39
  What if we all just kind of,
• 37:41
  when we don't feel right.
• 37:43
  Put whatever we're feeling into chat GPT and go from there.
• 37:46
  Uh,
• 37:47
  because that seems to be what Americans are doing.
• 37:48
  40 million people are already on this plan,
• 37:50
  apparently.
• 37:51
  Uh,
• 37:52
  55% of people say they check or explore symptoms.
• 37:56
  Uh,
• 37:56
  uh,
• 37:57
  they,
• 37:57
  uh,
• 37:58
  they,
• 37:58
  they,
• 37:58
  this is what they,
• 37:59
  uh,
• 37:59
  they like in the last 3 months,
• 38:01
  by the way,
• 38:01
  this is just in the last 3 months.
• 38:03
  Um,
• 38:03
  they want to understand medical terms,
• 38:05
  they want to learn about treatment options.
• 38:07
  I mean,
• 38:07
  look.
• 38:08
  If you use AI at all,
• 38:09
  you've definitely already done this,
• 38:10
  right?
• 38:11
  Something,
• 38:11
  that's a weird,
• 38:12
  that's a
• 38:13
  kind of a weird little rash right there.
• 38:15
  Let's take a photo of that.
• 38:16
  What's this chat GPT?
• 38:17
  And what's weird about it is everyone
• 38:19
  just automatically believes whatever chat GBT says.
• 38:22
  I don't think that's a good way of going about your mention,
• 38:24
  your,
• 38:24
  uh,
• 38:24
  healthcare,
• 38:25
  but I will say,
• 38:26
  probably better than the old way,
• 38:28
  which was go on WebMD and,
• 38:30
  uh,
• 38:30
  it would just tell you that you had like,
• 38:32
  you know,
• 38:32
  syphilis.
• 38:33
  Uh,
• 38:33
  so,
• 38:34
  uh,
• 38:34
  hopefully you don't have syphilis,
• 38:35
  but if chat GPT says it,
• 38:37
  you do.
• 38:38
  Now you know
• 38:39
  the rest of the story.
• 38:39
  Uh,
• 38:40
  how,
• 38:40
  by the way,
• 38:41
  instead of doing that,
• 38:41
  you can just always go to
• 38:43
  a,
• 38:43
  uh,
• 38:43
  Somali healthcare facility.
• 38:45
  Uh,
• 38:45
  that could be better than Chad GPT.
• 38:46
  House committee is going to hold a hearing
• 38:48
  on the fraud in Minnesota,
• 38:50
  which is good.
• 38:51
  Uh,
• 38:52
  you know,
• 38:52
  of course,
• 38:52
  Tim Wall's already out,
• 38:53
  but,
• 38:54
  uh,
• 38:54
  you know,
• 38:55
  let's keep.
• 38:55
  The reason why he dropped out was,
• 38:56
  of course,
• 38:57
  to avoid all this.
• 38:58
  I don't think the right is going to stop.
• 39:00
  I don't think conservatives and Republicans are
• 39:01
  going to stop going after this fraud,
• 39:03
  not just in Minnesota,
• 39:03
  but in state after state after state.
• 39:05
  I think they're on this now.
• 39:06
  Let's see.
• 39:06
  Hopefully some people
• 39:08
  are held responsible
• 39:09
  above,
• 39:10
  you know,
• 39:10
  who's there have been a few that have already been
• 39:12
  arrested for this.
• 39:14
  A year after the LA wildfires destroyed thousands of homes.
• 39:17
  Today is the anniversary,
• 39:18
  I believe,
• 39:19
  fewer than
• 39:20
  1 dozen
• 39:21
  have been rebuilt,
• 39:22
  12.
• 39:24
  I mean that is 13,000 homes were wiped out.
• 39:28
  And a dozen
• 39:29
  have been rebuilt.
• 39:31
  When you talk about a potential
• 39:33
  of Gavin Newsom running for president,
• 39:35
  we should just be hammering this
• 39:37
  all the time.
• 39:38
  The fact that this entire thing has gone on and
• 39:40
  he has not been able to streamline any of it,
• 39:42
  he hasn't been able to get any of this stuff done,
• 39:44
  is such an embarrassment for him.
• 39:46
  It should,
• 39:47
  in any sane world,
• 39:49
  obviously
• 39:50
  persuade him to not run,
• 39:51
  but he really wants it.
• 39:53
  He's been running basically for president for multiple years,
• 39:55
  even during the Biden campaign,
• 39:57
  campaign against Trump,
• 39:58
  he was basically running for president as like a third candidate,
• 40:00
  just like waiting in the wings.
• 40:02
  Just in case you need me,
• 40:03
  uh,
• 40:04
  he is going to run,
• 40:05
  I think,
• 40:05
  and that,
• 40:06
  that is.
• 40:07
  Uh,
• 40:08
  going to be terrible for all of us if he were to win.
• 40:10
  Uh,
• 40:10
  Trump leaves Venezuela opposition sidelined and Maduro's party in power.
• 40:14
  This is,
• 40:14
  I don't know what to think about this yet.
• 40:16
  I,
• 40:16
  I,
• 40:16
  I,
• 40:17
  and look.
• 40:18
  I'm really happy Maduro's out,
• 40:20
  uh,
• 40:20
  thrilled actually.
• 40:21
  I think he was horrible for the country and horrible for the people of Venezuela.
• 40:25
  Um,
• 40:26
  I,
• 40:26
  I don't have,
• 40:27
  you know,
• 40:28
  when it comes to how they did it,
• 40:29
  I think it was legally justifiable,
• 40:31
  at least in our,
• 40:31
  our understanding of the way this goes.
• 40:33
  I would have preferred some sort of
• 40:34
  congressional approval or authorization of military force.
• 40:37
  That being said,
• 40:39
  how this is going to be judged is not on any of that.
• 40:41
  How this is going to be judged is how does this turn out in the end,
• 40:43
  and.
• 40:44
  You know,
• 40:45
  I don't know.
• 40:45
  I mean,
• 40:46
  they have an opposition there that is very friendly to our policies,
• 40:51
  and it's not really being embraced.
• 40:52
  There's some rumors of friction behind the scenes.
• 40:55
  Richard Grinnell went there,
• 40:57
  didn't seem to get along all that well with the opposition leadership.
• 41:01
  You know,
• 41:02
  there's just some,
• 41:03
  some tension there,
• 41:04
  and so far
• 41:05
  the Trump administration answer to this is to say,
• 41:08
  well,
• 41:08
  we'll just leave Maduro's vice president in there
• 41:11
  and everybody kind of still in power.
• 41:13
  If this is just a transitional period where you're saying,
• 41:15
  OK,
• 41:16
  look,
• 41:16
  we can't just shake everything up,
• 41:17
  let's have them have this,
• 41:18
  uh,
• 41:19
  we will keep them in power for the moment,
• 41:20
  try to get what we can out of them.
• 41:22
  They seem to be playing ball a little bit,
• 41:23
  and then we'll have an election and whoever comes in comes in,
• 41:26
  hopefully someone from the opposition.
• 41:27
  That's OK,
• 41:29
  but right now I don't think it's,
• 41:30
  it hasn't improved their situation as much as you'd hope it would
• 41:34
  by removing Maduro.
• 41:36
  We'll see how that goes.
• 41:37
  And by the way,
• 41:38
  an update on Greenland.
• 41:39
  Um,
• 41:40
  you know,
• 41:40
  Trump's been talking about Greenland again.
• 41:42
  Rubio's going to go to Denmark and talk to him,
• 41:44
  uh,
• 41:44
  talk to the leadership there,
• 41:46
  try to get some sort of,
• 41:48
  I guess,
• 41:48
  I mean this is an ally,
• 41:49
  you'd hope that we're not going to be going to war with Greenland.
• 41:52
  Um,
• 41:53
  I don't think we're gonna be taking over Greenland.
• 41:55
  But we definitely really do want to buy it.
• 41:57
  That is a thing,
• 41:58
  that is a real thing,
• 41:59
  or at least at the very least get more access to
• 42:02
  what they have there when it comes to rare earth minerals
• 42:05
  and the like.
• 42:05
  So
• 42:06
  that's going on as well.
• 42:07
  Rubio going to visit next week.
• 42:09
  Back in a second.
• 42:21
  OK,
• 42:22
  so here's what happened.
• 42:23
  Um,
• 42:24
  actually,
• 42:24
  what happened was incredible disappointment.
• 42:26
  Why?
• 42:27
  Because I saw this headline and I got very excited.
• 42:29
  Scientists create robotic rabbits to fight invasive Burmese pythons in Florida.
• 42:34
  That sounds awesome.
• 42:36
  OK?
• 42:37
  Picture of the Slytherin things going around and
• 42:38
  then like swarms of robot rabbits attacking it,
• 42:41
  that,
• 42:41
  that sounds like a battle I wanna watch,
• 42:43
  right?
• 42:44
  But then I saw the actual news footage.
• 42:46
  Watch this.
• 42:47
  is being unleashed in Florida's Everglades to hunt Burmese pythons.
• 42:51
  All right,
• 42:51
  take a look at this right here.
• 42:53
  Scientists have deployed 120
• 42:55
  robot rabbits.
• 42:57
  Yeah,
• 42:57
  they're designed to look,
• 42:58
  move,
• 42:58
  and even smell like real marsh rabbits.
• 43:01
  The South Florida Water Management District and the
• 43:04
  University of Florida have deployed the mechanic bunnies.
• 43:07
  They did this over the summer and each rabbit robot
• 43:10
  cost about $4000 4000 dollars
• 43:13
  heat,
• 43:13
  scent,
• 43:14
  and motion to draw in pythons,
• 43:16
  triggering cameras that alert hunters to move in.
• 43:19
  Officials say it's too early to measure success,
• 43:21
  but
• 43:22
  they call the first results promising.
• 43:24
  Yeah,
• 43:24
  I'm sure they are.
• 43:25
  $4000.
• 43:26
  It's a,
• 43:26
  it's a,
• 43:26
  it's a stuffed rabbit
• 43:28
  on a lazy Susan.
• 43:30
  It doesn't look anything like the rabbits actually move,
• 43:32
  and somehow they spent $4000 on each of them.
