The poll numbers for for Donald Trump look really, really good.

And the poll numbers for Joe Biden

would

suggest maybe

he should spend more time at the ice cream parlor.

We'll get to that here in just a second.

A resolution that you can actually keep in this new year.

Well, welcome, Stu.

How are you?

Glad very well.

Yeah,

I think you're amazingly

accurate here when you point out that we are in that situation where we are hitting the ground running here.

Oh, yeah.

We jump in, you come back from holiday break, and you're less than two weeks away from Iowa.

We launch into basically full-out election mode immediately.

Yo, yo, yo, and we're staying.

Thank you.

We got lots of technical.

It's a new year.

It is a new year.

It's a new year.

New year, new buttons.

Yeah.

So you go right into this, right?

Like, I think so many people were, you spend the

previous year kind of like figuring out what the field looks like.

What's this race?

What is this, Right.

And it's got to be one of the strangest races anyone's ever looked at before.

We have one side saying all they care about is democracy as they're trying to get the other guy removed from the ballot.

I have to tell you.

I have to tell you,

I cannot believe that this is their strategy.

First of all, I don't know if you heard about Rudy Giuliani.

He's broke now.

They've wiped his savings out.

He is absolutely broke.

There was a ruling against him for nine figures right

and so he is he's broke uh and that is that's the lesson the lesson is we'll bankrupt you we'll destroy you we'll smear you you will not survive and the process really is also the punishment it doesn't matter if they win or not it really doesn't they'll just keep going with donald trump The way these states, I mean, I could not believe that they're invoking the 14th Amendment and saying, well, you know, part of an insurrection.

He's not even been charged with an insurrection.

Not even been charged.

So they're taking him off because of an insurrection, something he was never even charged with.

They have 91 charges against him.

None of them are insurrections.

None of them are.

And so now you have two states taking him off the ballot, and there's 30 lining up.

Yeah, plenty of them are going to try to do it.

Let me tell you something.

This should tell you everything you need to know about the Democrats.

It should tell you how radical they actually are.

They're saying that they want to preserve democracy, but this isn't true.

Let me tell you what I think is going to happen.

If this goes through,

And Donald, it's going to make Donald Trump more and more popular.

I have no idea how they're going to arrange these things.

It's going to throw everything into chaos.

Joe Biden's numbers are going to continue to go down.

And the Democrats have something that the Republicans don't, thank God.

And that is the super delegate.

The superdelegate is something that

the Democrats came up with after they saw Ronald Reagan elected.

Here's this guy who was out of step with the party, was not playing ball with the party, but his grassroots effect just took off and they couldn't control him.

And the Democrats saw that and they said, we can't have that happen to our party.

We can never have that.

Well, for many, many years, there's never been anybody.

You know, it's like Al Gore or Bill Clinton.

Oh, geez, which one?

Which one?

It's not that big of a choice.

They didn't have a Bernie Sanders that could stand up and actually

do grassroots.

Well,

Bernie Sanders did.

Bernie Sanders was not in their camp.

That's why you saw all of the horse trading and everything else that was going on

during the 2016 election.

They took him out.

Now, that was still not the full super delegate thing.

You're going to see it this year.

I really believe the Democrats are going to do their super delegate, which can vote differently than the public.

So

it's a hand-selected group of people that the party elites select.

And if they feel

for the party or for democracy's sake, the people have been duped, they can override their vote.

And I think you're going to see the poll numbers going down so horribly

that you're going to have to have somebody else besides Biden.

And you can't have his vice president.

And there's no way you can start a campaign now.

It's too late.

It's too late.

You can't even get people on the ballot.

Although they're strangely trying to get somebody else off the ballot, but you can't even get anybody on the ballot at this point.

Superdelegates stand in and they say you know what for the good of the country we need somebody that can unite us all and that would be michelle obama

wow

wow starting off the year with this i i because i just it just makes sense to me it may not happen but it just makes sense to me okay it's amazing because it it shows the state of where biden is right i mean there's a new poll out today showing that you know trump is

swampering him.

And even with like Hispanic voters and young voters and

black voters, he's making massive inroads in these groups that are supposed to be just Democratic votes, groups.

We've talked about this forever.

They just take them completely for granted, right?

They show up every single time.

They vote 80, 70, 80, 90% for Democrats, and they never really think about them again.

That is not, at least in the polls, is changing in a big way.

And at some point, you wonder,

are they really going to go down with the ship with Joe Biden?

Are they going to be really

dedicated to this man?

What is your choice at this point?

And then you get to where you are with Michelle Obama or someone similar.

You don't have it.

Am I wrong?

Do they have another choice at this point?

I think Gavin Newsom wants it to be Gavin Newsom.

Yeah, but how do you get him onto the ballots everywhere?

How does that happen?

It would have to be something within the party.

And by the way, that's an important thing to understand with the Trump part of this as well.

If these states tell the Republicans they're not going to put him on the ballot,

the Republican Party can still make this happen for Donald Trump as the nominee.

The question is, in the general election, where it becomes a problem, because they can change their own rules and tell people, like, you know, they can do all sorts of stuff to make sure Donald Trump gets this election if what people believe is that he's way ahead and they're just taking him off, trying to get him off the ballots.

It's a different process when it comes to the Republican Party.

But when it comes to the actual final ballot, that's a big, big, big deal.

This is Soviet Union stuff.

I mean, the next step, honestly, the next step is to put your opponent in jail.

They would never try that, Glenn.

Right.

Right.

And then here they are trying that.

They are.

It's fascinating.

I mean, and it's all under the context of an argument for democracy.

Correct.

It's all in this context that the media completely accepts with no sense of irony at all about it, that this is all about

an effort to preserve democracy.

Look, if you trust democracy, then just beat Donald Trump.

Just beat him.

Convince the American people he's the worst option.

They can't.

Your 90-year-old guy who can't get through a sentence is going to be much better.

Just convince them of that.

They can't.

But they obviously believe that they can't.

I mean, even if they could, they don't believe that they can.

Because if you believe actually in democracy, which I don't think that they do, at least the elements of democracy that exist in our constitutional republic, if they actually believed in those things, they would just come out and win.

Yes.

You know, I mean,

look, I went through a weekend this weekend, Glenn, where the Philadelphia Eagles lost to the Arizona Cardinals, and the Dallas Cowboys defeated the Detroit Lions, basically blowing up what started as a promising season for the Eagles.

And watching that, the end of that Cowboys game was horrible for Eagles fans because it really looked, and Detroit Lions fans, it looked like the Lions should have won.

There was a controversial call, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

And people, my Eagles friends are like, hey, can you believe that call?

Beat the Arizona Cardinals and you don't have to worry about it, right?

Go out and win the games on your schedule and you don't have to worry about the calls in the other games.

This is what the freaking Democratic Party should be able to understand.

Come out and win.

Beat the guy you say is Hitler and you don't have to worry about throwing him in prison just beat him they're just moving too fast look it you have a situation now did you see the poll numbers with youth on osama bin laden now

yes it is crazy it's

it is crazy it is 26

oh my god uh believe that he was not not only had good ideas but what he did was right.

Okay.

It's astonishing what's happening.

Now, why is that happening?

Because of lack of education.

We lived through it and

we did not show it all the time.

We don't even teach it anymore.

So all we're teaching is anti-American stuff.

They don't know who Osama bin Laden really is.

And

what do you get?

You get this.

Their agenda in schools is working.

We've already lost one generation.

We may lose two.

Okay?

If that happens and we don't turn it around,

America as we know it is gone for a while on earth.

It will be found again.

God will not be thwarted.

It may not happen in this country, but God will not be thwarted.

These freedoms belong to him.

You sit here and you look at what they're doing.

They know they can't get get all of the things that they need past, past.

So at the end of progressivism is either a peaceful transition or revolution.

They're now choosing, I think, revolution if possible, if needed.

They will not give this up.

But they they think they had all of the tools.

The thing that they didn't count on was the American people.

They didn't count on the middle of the country actually believing in something that they don't even understand.

They didn't count on a Donald Trump or a Ron DeSantis or a Vivek Ramaswamy.

They didn't expect the Tea Party.

And for the people who invented the Internet, they had absolutely no idea the monster.

that they unleashed when they put people and said, you can't talk on these media outlets

when the internet was ready.

So now what are they going to do?

They have to affect the election, and they're also trying to take Donald Trump off of the ballot everywhere because they want

turmoil in the streets.

They have to have it.

They have to have it.

More in just a second.

First, let me tell you about Life Lock.

You know, when Life hands a cyber criminal lemons, he gives them to his mom.

He has her make lemonade with them.

And then he brings it down to the basement where he's busy stealing your identity and giving you lemons instead.

This is why it's really important this year to be protected with Life Lock by Norton.

It's important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft affect your life.

Your personal information is exposed so often, it's dangerously easy for a cyber criminal to steal your identity.

I'm sorry, but you know, I'm not usually a guy who says fight fire with fire, but

I don't know why

you are not taking in states like Texas,

why we are allowing this to happen in 30 states without any threat of any movement by a state.

What does that mean?

I don't know legally what you can do, and I don't want to become everything I despise, but I want them to know, oh, you moved a chess piece.

You think you have me in.

in check.

Well, let me put you in check.

There's got to be a check and balance.

And it doesn't seem like that's happening.

For instance,

gosh, who is the person?

Oh,

what's his name?

The big

donor to the Democratic Party that was Sam Bankman Fried?

Yeah, Freed.

So Sam Bankman Freed,

they decided, the feds decided, oh, we're not going to look into any corruption charges, any bribery or anything else.

He gave more money to the Democrats than I think anyone ever in the history of the Democratic Party, okay?

And we know what that bought.

The federal government decides, oh, we don't want to look into that at all.

I don't know why there isn't

an attorney general somewhere that knows that your congressman or your senator got money

from Bankman Freed

and

you're not pursuing it.

Our attorney generals have been really, really good, but it's time to take it to the next level.

If you believe that he was influencing government, the attorney general has a right, if I'm not mistaken, to go in and look at that and prosecute him and anyone else that was involved in bribery.

It's got to take it to the state level.

Have to.

I mean, you have to at least look at all this stuff, right?

I don't know what...

Yeah, I don't know.

I'm not an attorney, so I don't know.

I can't imagine you're the first person who's thinking, hey, like something, because there needs to be some sort of pushback.

It can't just be defense, right?

Yeah.

Because, I mean, I look, I am currently operating under the belief that this will, this stuff about getting Donald Trump tossed off these ballots will be eliminated by the Supreme Court.

I think the Supreme Court will hold the line on this.

And I I do think, and they have no argument in reality.

I don't think this will work.

And that's one of the reasons why I'm not as panicked about it as perhaps I should be.

But if all you do is just win these cases that they throw against the wall, you're in a position that eventually you're going to become victim of something sticking.

Yes.

Like eventually one of these things works.

So you have to be

disincentivizing them to try these things throughout the process.

Because if you just let them keep trying and trying and trying with no consequence, then they'll just keep trying until it works.

Did you see Mitch McConnell's ratings?

No.

Eight.

Out of 10, like in hotness?

Yeah, eight.

Oh, eight percent.

I think it was six

six or it was six or eight.

Approval rating?

Approval rating.

Okay.

Not good, Glenn.

Not good.

Not good.

And especially when you look at the poll and you realize it has a 4.8 margin of error.

Suboptimal thing is what I would say.

And why is that?

I think that is the exact same reason why Donald Trump is doing well.

Who's watching out for you?

Who's actually doing anything bold?

Okay.

Mitch McConnell is going the opposite direction.

But it's not just that, because there's lots of people.

Trust me, there's lots of people in Washington that are going the opposite direction.

He's made the stand to not only go the opposite direction, he's also ignoring all of the blatant things that would help America constitutionally.

So he's actually not just working in the other direction, He's actually barricading people off that feel disenfranchised.

You're not part of us.

We don't want anything to do with you.

And unfortunately, as the economy goes worse and worse and worse,

there's got to be a champion someplace.

And Donald Trump seems to be the only one that is connected with the American people to be their champion.

Now, I don't know if that can change with Ron DeSantis.

And I, you know, it's interesting.

Because at the beginning, everybody said Ron DeSantis, he's in with the party.

No, there seems to be one that is in with the party.

And I don't think it's Ron DeSantis.

Well, right now, DeSantis and Haley sit over 50 points behind

the president with support of 11.2%.

That is remarkable, remarkable.

Going into the Iowa caucus, I've never seen that.

In what is supposed to be a competitive primary, it really happened.

I mean, you can see that with someone who's running for re-election, which again, maybe that's the way that this should have been looked at the whole time, right?

Like where Donald Trump is essentially seen as

an incumbent.

I mean, he's obviously not in office right now, but he's running for a second term.

Maybe that's how he should have been seen.

Now, that's a national poll.

Some of the state poll stuff looks a little closer.

So that would be interesting.

Like, if

a Haley or a DeSantis were to keep one of these first states states closed, then what happens, right?

We have seen races turn on stuff like that.

But this lead is very large.

And it's not the same stuff that's fueling Donald Trump to a 50-point lead, which is him being attacked by

the legal system and the media and democracy.

All that's going to continue and ramp up in the middle of all this voting.

So it's hard to imagine how these guys can turn it around.

If you happen to be on the opposition side, how do you do it?

I have to tell you, though, I think this, as always, whenever you try to obstruct, my father used to say, you know,

water falls straight down from the sky.

It's only when it hits a mountain or a man-made object that it starts to divert its course.

Okay.

And it's true.

And I think what he was trying to teach me so many years ago was: don't be that man-made object.

Let it flow.

Just let it all flow.

And every time, and we learned this years ago,

every time you try to insert yourself and say, well, I'm going to make a difference here because I'm going to shape this or I'm going to...

I'm going to do this so then that happens later.

It never works out.

No.

It never works out.

You don't get to control the universe, unfortunately.

I know.

And

I think that's what the Democrats Democrats are trying to do.

And it's actually going against them.

By tying him up in court, he's not on television all the time.

By them saying we're not going to give him any TV time is also helping them.

Because Donald Trump, one of the things that people, even who like him,

have a hard time with is, okay, can we,

why, why would you say that?

You know what I mean?

It's what those people, especially the independent voters, are touchy on.

By them not covering him, by them keeping him

in the courtroom, they're taking away one of his biggest negatives.

Yeah, and this is what this is what they're holding, they're hanging their hat on right now, right?

Like they are looking at this and saying, well, we haven't started doing that stuff yet.

We haven't implemented the anti-Trump strategy

when it comes to going to the American people about who this guy is because he hasn't won the nomination yet.

And look,

that's a big risk if you're a Democrat.

You're waiting an awful long time.

Yeah, but they want him.

I mean, the theory is they want him to win this

primary.

And look,

when you're doing this to somebody, it's going to be hard for him not to win.

The argument, of course, for the other side has been, and this would be a competitive primary if this were the truth, which is Donald Trump,

yeah, he can win this primary, but he's going to lose the general election.

If Ron DeSantis was able to present poll after poll after poll after poll with him up eight points over Joe Biden and Donald Trump down five, this would be a totally different situation because the American, the Republican voters would look at that and say, geez, I love Donald Trump, but I don't want to risk Joe Biden.

What do we do?

The polls aren't showing that, though.

The polls are showing the opposite in many cases.

In fact, some of the polls are showing, and again, you could, you could throw polls away if you want.

I know everyone says every time I bring up the word polls, but it's like there is something that is made, people make decisions based on them.

I think too often.

I would say, who do you think is going to be the best president?

Vote for that person.

That would be my recommendation.

But people don't vote that way.

Here's why I think the people are voting that way when it comes to Donald Trump.

They look at him as a guy who's not a politician.

Everybody, Ron DeSantis is a very good politician, very good.

He's holding the the line against the establishment and everything else.

So he's very good, but he is seen as a politician.

That has such a bad rap to it that even the good politicians are getting pounded for it.

Donald Trump is not seen.

He is seen still

as the guy who is at the end of the bar.

Remember this in 2016?

There's a guy at the end of the bar who just says crazy things, but you know what?

Everybody cheers.

He's right.

Yeah.

Okay.

He still is that guy.

He's not a politician.

It's very true.

But the argument to unseat him

would be, well, he can't win.

And we can't.

I mean, DeSantis has made this argument.

Haley's made this argument.

And it might be true.

I don't know.

It may very well be true.

But

because again, as we pointed out, the left really hasn't turned their focus on Trump outside of these legal efforts.

I mean, you haven't seen him.

Every word of his gets covered.

And

we know this whole story.

So it may turn around, but right now, that's not even what the polls are showing.

The polls are showing that Trump's doing great.

Like, I mean, like, great.

He's doing really well.

Yeah.

Reagan great.

Leading

against, you know, among Hispanic voters, among younger voters.

These are not numbers.

These are not things that I think will hold up until the actual election.

Again, a big part of the reason why he's winning younger voters in particular is because the left younger voters, they don't like Biden's stance on Israel, which I don't know if you notice, Biden's noticing and is changing his stance on Israel by the day.

By the time this election comes around, he's going to sound like, you know, AOC probably on Israel or Ilan Omar on Israel.

And probably that all goes away.

They're probably not going to run from the Democratic Party when it comes to voting in these numbers.

But still,

it sets the tone

for this primary and makes it a very uphill battle for anyone trying to beat him.

Because the argument to go to people to say, change paths is we're going to lose in the general.

And the polling doesn't show that right now.

So it's hard to convince people of that.

You know, there's, you look at the polls recently, there's not enough in these early states.

So we really don't know what's going on.

Maybe Ron DeSantis has made a run over the past few weeks.

I mean, there is one poll that shows Haley very close to Donald, to Donald Trump in New Hampshire, you know, a few points.

So is that real?

I don't know, but she seems to be around nearing 30% in a lot of these polls in New Hampshire.

That's within striking distance, you could argue.

Maybe something like this will change, but it is a real uphill battle, real uphill battle for anyone trying to take him on in this environment.

I don't understand that.

I mean,

if you're a Nikki Haley supporter, I would love to hear

because it just goes, it's to me, it seems like an anti-Trump vote.

And maybe that's what it is.

Haley does.

You know, I'm going to be more along the lines of, you know, the traditional RNC,

which is if that's what America wants, that's what America wants.

But I don't understand it if it's anything more than that, because she doesn't seem like somebody who's going to go in and really change things.

Does she?

No, I think she's definitely more of a traditional Republican than I mean, it's crazy because she's a Tea Party person.

Yeah.

But I think at least that's the impression that I have.

She's more of the,

let's be calm, let's take care of some things, but

I'm going to go more the traditional RNC way.

And the youth is not going that way at all.

I don't know if you saw this from Amfest,

Charlie Kirk's event, but

Donald Trump won by a landslide in their

straw poll.

And did you see who they wanted as vice president?

No.

two

non-politicians

the vaic

or tucker hmm tucker carlson wow hmm interesting i mean that that is it does seem like where a lot of the energy of the movement is at least at that that that wing of it and i'm laying look at look at the guy down in argentina yeah

what you know everybody's like why why how are these guys and why do they always look so weird because you're used to a politician combing his hair you're used to a politician looking a certain way and behaving a certain way and when they get on television go you know what you're just nuts and their hair's out of whack

you you've been programmed to think this guy is unstable

he looks like einstein who i i've i've had this argument with my wife she's like can you just run a comb through your hair occasionally and i'm like it worked for einstein how come it doesn't work for me why and she's like you're not einstein I said, but Einstein wasn't Einstein

before.

And I think it's just that you have to start.

You can't end that way because then you just look like you went mad.

You have to start with crazy hair.

Well, maybe uncovering some of the secrets of the universe is also a part of the equation for Einstein.

Maybe it's not all about the hair, Glenn.

No, I think it's there.

I think it's there.

I think it's there.

Yeah, it worked for him.

No, I mean, you just got to pass.

I mean, it's not like, oh, I want Einstein here.

Although, I wouldn't mind getting out of bed and just having my hair stand straight up like that and just walk out and be like, hey, it's me.

Love that.

Live with it.

Live with it.

Deal with it.

Einstein just got the world to live with it.

I mean, look, that's true.

I just feel like maybe his accomplishments had something to do with the fact that they put up with the hair.

I'm in the Hall of Famer.

That's true.

I mean, he could justify it a little bit.

Yeah, just a little bit.

A little bit.

I'm just saying.

Back just a second.

First, this message from Genucelle.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Welcome to the Glen Beck program.

So, in the category of, huh,

I don't think the churches are on fire, a High Point, North Carolina pastor was arrested last week after assaulting a McDonald's employee.

The High Point Police Department reported that on December 28th, a woman who was training to be a manager at the South Main Street McDonald's location

said that her employees were disrespecting her.

And as a result, the woman called her husband, who is a pastor, to help her deal with it.

He walked in, apparently.

This is what witnesses say.

He walked into the McDonald's, then went right behind the counter, grabbed the neck of one of the employees,

and then

pushed the victim's head towards the deep fryer.

Which I

think

that is in the, is that in the Gospel of John?

We're in Bible country.

We're in Bible country.

That's in the gospel of Jack.

I'm not sure.

It's a different kind of baptism.

Yeah, it is.

That's what he was going for.

How did I know it was 475 degrees?

He also punched the victim several times in the face

and did not strike, stop striking the victim until multiple employees were able to pull the pastor off the victim.

Now,

I don't know what it would take to make you look for a new church, but I think the deep fryer incident of 2023 would be on my list.

Right.

Has your pastor tried to force a McDonald's employee's head into a deep fryer?

No?

Okay.

All right.

Let's continue to talk.

Right.

You know, I'm still open.

That doesn't mean I'm staying.

It just means I'm open.

I mean, I might have done other things, but that one, I just want to check that one off the list.

Yeah.

Wonder if this guy has any parishioners left.

Oh, 100%.

In this country, absolutely.

Absolutely.

There's going to be people.

Absolutely.

And what was the disrespect?

What level are we talking about here?

She didn't say they were just disrespecting her.

Yeah.

That's an important.

That's an important part of that.

Like, what kind of disrespect would it be?

He didn't.

First of all, let's be let's be clear here.

He didn't actually put anyone's head in the deep fryer.

Uh-uh.

No, he was just trying to do it.

He was just right.

And that's not a good idea.

Yeah.

I'll throw that out there.

Don't pull the deep fryer unless you plan on using it.

I mean, there is a level of disrespect that could happen to your wife that would cause you to be very angry.

That might be.

That might be true,

although I don't think it would get me to force somebody's head into a deep.

He didn't do that.

He just threatened it.

I know.

I know.

You know, and then he punched a person a bunch of times.

Repeatedly and wouldn't stop.

I mean, you keep focusing on these details, but

there is a, I mean, there's a level of, look, if you're being, if your wife is being verbally assaulted in some way or being really disrespected, there's a level of anger that rises in a husband

that could cause all sorts of things.

I would defend my wife.

Right.

That would not include a deep fryer.

I thought I had you there.

No matter how you try.

You're still drawing a slide.

No matter how you try.

I am going by the gospels.

of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

Yeah, no, and there's almost no deep fryer action at all in any of those books.

No.

Pluck out your own eye?

Sure.

Put somebody's eyes in the deep fryer.

Never said it.

No.

Never said said it.

They had almost no fried foods back then, which is sad.

But

no wonder there were so many angry people.

Exactly.

There's no fried foods to cure it.

But I do think, though, there is, there's an anger.

I mean, like a

fight.

I cannot believe you are

saying.

I mean, I can't.

I mean, the story is, wow, that's the response.

No, wait a minute.

He said that they have any parishioners left.

I feel like there's a few that that are like, all right, come on.

He said all sorts of mean things about the guy's wife.

It would be you.

It would be you sitting in the pew.

Come on, tell me about it.

I respect you, pastor.

I respect you.

I mean, if you put the head in the deep fryer, I think we'd all be gone, but come on.

Hello, Stu.

Glenn, how are you?

Oh, Happy New Year.

Oh, my goodness.

My goodness.

I'm just great.

You know what's going to be really great is when we can just all stay in our homes and not go anywhere.

You know, because we won't have to.

You know, because it's so dangerous out there.

So dangerous outside.

Have you noticed that?

Everybody in my house over the holidays was sick.

Where do you think they got that?

Outside.

Outside.

Outside.

Other people.

Exactly right.

Eliminate the whole other people thing from our lives.

Everything will be so much better.

And, you know, in Davos, there's probably somebody saying that in just the next couple of weeks.

If we just get rid of all the people, we wouldn't have problems with people.

Anyway, there's a couple of things the

governors around our country are doing to make your life just that much better.

Let's start in California because Gavin Newsom isn't done yet.

He just signed a bill into law and it goes into effect in April.

It is fast food chains, national fast food chains, that operate in California have to pay their employees a minimum of $20 per hour now that the minimum wage in california is sixteen dollars but they're moving it up to twenty dollars an hour glenn did you i thought about this reading some of these stories about the minimum wage increases because they're all over the country yeah in 2024.

sure don't you remember when we had the conversation about a 15 minimum wage yes and it was treated as a bernie sanders fever dream right like it was like okay bernie sanders democrats were saying okay bernie sanders is saying that but no one's really considering $15 an hour.

Then like Seattle did it and like Portland did it.

And everyone's like, gosh, that was crazy.

Can you believe that?

And then they watched those restaurants leave.

Move.

Yeah.

Now,

$20.

Yeah.

I know $20 is $20.

We said, we said at the time, why not make it $20?

$25, $30.

Hell, why not make it $100 an hour?

What is your limiting principle here?

Correct.

Correct.

And we said that they're not going to, you're going to get the increase passed to you as a best case scenario.

And all of those people, and I know this is a small business person,

when my dad couldn't afford to have help because egg prices, he was a baker, egg prices went up or whatever happened, he had to let go.

the staff that was doing all of the work on cleaning and everything else.

And he hired me for a quarter.

Okay?

That's what they do.

They just can't print money like the United States of America.

Of course, they said

that it would protect the fast food workers.

Unfortunately, there's been a little announcement from

a major corporation,

Pizza Hut.

They've decided that they're going to lay off all of their delivery drivers.

And they say, well, I mean, why should we pay for that?

Because you can just go through DoorDash or Grubhub or Uber Eats, which leads you to two things.

Okay, great.

But now I pay for that delivery where I didn't pay for it before.

So you're getting it in the end.

You now have to pay for delivery instead of Pizza Hut bringing it to you.

And it opens up the door for, well, now wait a minute.

All of these drivers have been left off.

Maybe we should regulate DoorDash and Grubhub and Uber Eats.

That's a fascinating plan, right?

And, you know, from a consumer perspective, who do you blame when you're annoyed with the delivery fees?

You blame Grubhub or DoorDash, not Pizza Hut.

Correct.

And why would you blame Pizza Hut?

You should blame Gavin Newsom.

You should.

Though, it's interesting, and this is a...

a hack to our system that Democrats have not actually exploited as much as you'd think over the years, and they are learning that they should exploit it.

And that the minimum wage is one of the most popular policy proposals in our discourse.

I mean, usually, I mean, there's a poll from last year in May, 74% of voters support raising the federal minimum wage as much to $20 an hour.

Again, people generally look at the minimum wage as we should be nice to poor people.

That's how people translate that.

Now, you can bring up all the economic arguments in the world.

And they don't,

what actually happens to people, how it hurts the exact same people you're trying to help.

All that is true.

but when you ask people about it, they don't process it that way.

So what happens when you raise the minimum wage?

I mean, it's a think about this brilliance from the Democratic perspective.

You raise it to $20 an hour.

Well, what happens?

First of all, you get a bunch of people who are maybe making $14, $15, $16 an hour to get more money.

And supposedly, that

works with what you believe.

I don't know if the Democrat Party really

cares, but set that aside for a second.

What you do is you force a bunch of people who are on the verge of needing you into definitely needing you as a government, right?

You're translating these people, you're taking them from people who are making it on 15 bucks an hour, maybe not

with lavish vacations and wonderful new cars, but getting by.

And you turn them into people who can't get by without your help.

Then you get to regulate DoorDash, Grubhub, Uber, all these other things, places where people go to work.

You get to regulate them because now they're just part of the economy.

And you can increase the benefits that go from the government to these people because, look, there's all these new people that are unemployed because they're these evil corporations.

And you do that by implementing a policy that is overwhelmingly popular, not only with Democrats, but also Republicans.

That is something that people really need to wake up to because they're going to start doing this to ridiculous extents across the country.

Yeah.

They're not going to, so let's move on.

California also initiating a new law today.

Now, imagine

you have a

toy store or a toy center in your house or in your business, okay?

You're in the business at all of selling toys.

I mean, it could be marginal,

but that's part of your product line.

Today, it begins, they will fine any retailers if they don't sell gender-neutral children toys in their

They have to be clearly marked and sectioned, and stores that refuse to comply will face a $250 penalty for the first violation and $500 penalty for every subsequent offense.

Oh, and the law also pertains to, quote, any product designed or intended by the manufacturer to facilitate sleep, relaxation, or the feeding of children, to help children with sucking or teething.

So it has to, because it's not clothing, right?

They don't have to have a special clothing or anything.

Toys, just toys.

Then the

sleep, the relaxation, feeding of children, and help children with sucking or teething.

That is disturbing.

That's a disturbing line.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Disturbingly specific.

I like how they put a lot of thought into that.

But like, what does that mean?

So, like, you have a section currently, right, where you have a bunch of toys that are together from boys and girls.

Then you have to have a separate section.

Section, right?

Like, so you're not like you're giving options to kids who are supposedly transgendered or non-binary or whatever the hell they're promoting this week, but you,

they can't even be in the same section with other kids.

Because it's not the point.

The children, not the point.

It is to make a statement, this store will comply.

There were many, many stores back in the 1930s over in a

foreign land

that

a lot of people were not with the Nazi Party.

They weren't with it.

But they put the Nazi flag up in their store window because they didn't want trouble.

Right.

Okay.

That's all this is.

We have a special, what, non-binary, what the hell is this calling for gender-neutral children toys?

Imagine seeing that.

What do you think?

You immediately know this store caved.

That's all this is.

This is muscle.

Wow.

It seems so...

What?

Again, this isn't about the customers.

You have to remind yourself it's not about the customers because customers will be like,

what am I doing?

Where am I going?

Like, when you go into a store, let's say you have a daughter who really likes sports, right?

Maybe isn't consistent with the typical gender stereotypes, right?

You just go buy the things they like.

Right?

That's as a parent, you say, okay, well,

they like basketball, so I'm going to buy her a basketball.

You don't necessarily need to go to a girls' section, girls' sports section to find the basketball.

They have different sizes for.

girls, but using this as an example, they're going to be right next to the other basketballs, and you're going to say, this is girls' basketball.

You're going to go buy that.

Now these people are going to go to these sections and then in theory go to another separate section

where there is a well-marked section.

A well-marked section.

You have to be clearly marked and sectioned.

And how long until they say this is essentially segregation?

You're taking these poor, non-binary kids and making them have their own section?

They're going to just, none of this stuff makes any sense.

What was segregation really all about?

What was segregation really, truly all about?

I mean, it was about a lot of things,

but it was about certainly racism, skin color,

power, right?

A sign of power?

I would say mainly power.

I mean, racism, obviously, but that is a function of I want to be powerful over somebody else.

Sure.

Okay.

So what was segregation?

It was teaching people.

You are not good enough to walk through this door.

These people are.

Okay?

So whenever you saw whites only,

you were reinforcing, you were teaching the public without ever saying blacks are inferior.

I'm only saying whites only.

Right.

Okay.

That's all I'm saying.

This wasn't a good argument, but this is what

this is.

They were trying to argue.

This was the argument.

It was only about power and reinforcing the doctrine of the people in power.

That's all it is.

And that's all this is.

Little section toy store, if these are non-gender

uh you know or gender neutral toys why i i go i go to walmart i go down

preventing you from buying a toy for the other gender right like you you make the decision when it comes to toys you're making this is not life-changing surgery you when it comes to toys you're making the decision you want to make for your kids wow can you stop bringing up gender surgery okay I mean, gender is fluid, but the discussion is not.

Wait, what?

Gender Gender is fluid, but the discussion is not.

So we're not allowed to have this.

We're not allowed to have it.

We needed a national conversation.

No.

Gender is the only thing that is fluid.

Conversation about it is not.

All right, back in just a second.

I have some good news.

I know you thought you were going to have to use that second-rate real estate agent who barely knows what he's doing this year.

But you can make the biggest transaction of your life, financial transaction of your your life, and you can do it without a state of wondering or fear.

Real estate agents I trust is going to set you up with not just a good agent in your area, but the one we think is the best agent in your area.

If you're moving to a different town or a different state, how do you find them?

We'll hook you up with the best agent in that area.

Look, buying and selling a home was hard before the housing market went crazy.

There is so much work, so much rests on you being in contact with the right people to do everything that needs to be done, both on the selling and the buying side.

Years ago, we started Real Estate Agents I Trust, and we have been going strong and great

gaining steam, unbelievably so ever since.

Realestate agents I trust.com.

Go there now.

Realestateagents I trust.com.

10-second station item.

Okay.

You point out, Glenn, this the way things are turning right now with all of this.

There was a one situation in Ohio that we should hit and not let pass by where the governor, Republican governor of Ohio,

vetoed a law that basically would have

done what a bunch of other states have done on the Republican side, say, hey, you can't have gender surgeries.

You can't have all these crazy gender treatments.

You can't have boys play and girls' sports.

Hold it.

Just a second.

If I'm not mistaken, there is a difference here.

Okay.

Isn't Dwine the one that took the money from the gender hospital?

Yeah.

There I guess there was.

Okay, so there were special interests involved in this one.

That's what makes this so different.

It's special.

It makes it special.

That special interest.

Yes.

Now, I don't know.

What did he take?

$40,000, I think.

I don't know if that's.

I mean, it was enough for Martha Stewart to go to prison.

Let's just remember that.

That's true.

Wow.

Which is bizarre.

Bizarre.

But I don't, sometimes

I find that explanation lacking because, you know, people get a lot of money from a lot of different places, and that might be, it might be the reason.

It might be.

But I think more than that,

it's this very squishiness

over this topic.

Look, here's the deal.

Dwine, it's clear you're a whore.

We just don't know what the price is.

It could be money, though.

I think money is a more innocent explanation, frankly.

I think the fact that he just wants to enrich himself personally would make me feel a little better about the situation.

Like, okay,

he's trying to get a new vacation house.

All right, we all understand.

He's just a poor working girl.

He can decide what he wants to do.

And, you know, if you have to mangle a couple of kids to get it, you know, as a third bedroom, we need the extra, we need the pool.

Yeah.

I agree.

So if it was just that, I find it to be worse than that.

I mean, like, you know, here's a guy who is really, you know, against the freedom movement when it came to COVID, for example.

This is one of the things he's well known for.

He was very bad on COVID for a Republican governor.

And

he,

so obviously he.

This idea that he just wants to keep you alone with your health care decisions is absurd.

Absurd.

It's the exact opposite of everything he's known for, right?

But in this one case, he's just like, I just feel like parents should be able to say kids can be, you know, mutilated and mutilated

at the whim of the nutty parents.

Of course, that's okay.

I don't know.

If you want to chain your kids to the basement and the radiator, that's fine.

Parental choice.

We're all super libertarians here.

Come on.

Okay, another new law out of California.

It starts today.

If you're an employer in California, you cannot ask your employees about their marijuana consumption outside of the workplace.

So you can't necessarily smoke pot on the job.

No, and you cannot penalize employees if they test positive for marijuana unless they're actively high at work.

At work.

So I, you know, and I don't know.

How do you, how do you

know

you're actively high?

No,

wow

no i mean how would you wait when we work in the entertainment field everyone around here is high everybody okay so here's the problem here's the problem with this

it seems kind of reasonable

it seems kind of reasonable now you know you're kind of like well yeah as long as they're not high at work you know what i mean

that's the way most people are going to look at it well yeah i mean if they want to smoke dope you know but i mean there's a part of me that that has some sympathy for this.

I know, I know.

You know, again, I don't know.

I don't.

It's still federally illegal.

We do realize this, right?

Like everyone's like, oh, it's legal now.

Not really.

Like, it's actually still against federal law.

Yeah.

But, but again, like, you know, I kind of feel the same way of like, well, you know, if you're tweeting something, should you be fired from your job?

Pretty much no.

I mean, there are some exceptions to that, maybe.

I shouldn't have been fired from my job.

I was never drunk at work, but I was drunk for 21 hours out of the day.

But like we start firing people who are drunk 21 hours a day.

There's no left in the workforce.

This is California.

You start firing people who are smoking pot.

There's nothing left.

I don't think that,

and this is a

strange thing to say, but I don't think that like a functioning alcoholic.

If you were drinking at home and coming in and doing a good show every day, you shouldn't be fired for your drinking at home.

I mean,

it's your own bad personal choice.

Correct.

Now, if you're doing something illegal at home, which marijuana is, there's a different maybe argument, but still, like generally speaking, I think that's you shouldn't.

Like I said, this one kind of, it just is like we're lowering the standards.

You know, we're having to pass a law that says, hey, there's a really big problem with people being fired because they're smoking pots.

You know, maybe we should look at it that way just a bit because I don't necessarily have a problem with the law.

The Glenn Bach program.

It's just really sad.

Hey, I gave

my whole family Burna.

Do you remember the gun I brought in?

Yes.

It is

my second oldest daughter, who is not a fan of guns.

She was like, you're giving me a gun for Christmas.

And I said, yes, I am.

Except it's not a gun.

I mean, it looks just like it, but it is a

gas-powered launcher,

tear gas, kinetic deterrence,

60-foot range.

So

you're not going to kill anybody with it, but you can hit them with a pretty hard.

It won't break the skin, but

it hurts.

And

60 feet away, you can shoot tear gas.

And it's nasty-ass tear gas.

I got it for every member of the family.

And I told Tanya yesterday, I said, I want to see this in your purse, honey.

Put this in your purse.

So just going into, you know, some of the goings on in

blue states where the governors are just going to make it better for you all around, safer.

I mean,

you're not going to run around the house with a knife or a stick.

You can put an eye out with that.

And the state knows, and they want to take care of you on this.

And now, Whitmer,

another just

safety first kind of governor, she signed in the Clean Energy and Climate Action Package,

which will make the state 100% carbon neutral by 2040, which I think is great.

There won't be any employment there or any

real homes that are not, you know,

covered with people who are either wildly rich and comfortable or extremely poor and cold.

But she signed that in.

It's going to require all of the state's utilities to increasingly source from green energy.

The bill says that you can use solar and wind power.

Now, I built a house off the grid

and

I use solar and wind power.

And I have spent enormous sums of money trying to make it work.

No.

No.

No.

It won't work.

It won't.

It's just unreliable.

Unreliable.

It is absolutely unreliable.

I mean,

if I were trying to

put this company on solar or wind, there's no way.

We'd be off the air three times a week.

It's absolutely unreliable.

And it is so I bleed expensive.

If you're doing a big project, there's no way if you want to offset some, you know, put some solar panels on your roof and, you know, I don't know, be able to make a cup of tea.

Great.

Some of the solar panels, you can actually sell it back to the grid.

Good, good for you.

But this is not, this is, this is one of those things that you're like, oh, good for you.

This is not like you're going to do this or else.

It's because it doesn't work.

And wind power is an absolute joke an absolute joke this is i had a wind turbine at the house

uh it was uh attacked by some cattle

and uh it was wait it was a how

what happened to the well wind turbine i i don't know uh maybe

Maybe one of them was trying to mate with, I don't know exactly.

But it came down.

You know how long it took us to recognize that we lost all of our wind power?

No, how long?

I have no idea.

Don't know when that thing came down.

I have absolutely no idea.

It makes that big of a difference.

It makes that big of a difference.

Now, in...

Why were your cattle mating with a.

I'm not a farm guy

per se.

So maybe I don't understand.

There's not a lot of cows, you know, where my cows were kept.

And, you know, they were like...

I kind of, you know, they don't seem to be real choosy.

Okay.

You know?

And the female cow

doesn't see, I mean, just eats during it.

You know, I just,

he's on me again.

I mean, it's

romantic lifestyle.

It is romant.

The farmer's life, romance all the way.

All the way.

In Illinois, a new law going into effect on January 1 will allow non-citizens to become police officers and sheriffs.

So, Illinois, you got that going for you.

Now, I'm noticing a trend here on some of these laws.

Let's see.

California, Michigan, Illinois.

Okay, well.

Landlords also in Illinois are going to be required under state law to rent or sell property to non-citizens and illegal aliens beginning today.

And by the way, if you're an illegal alien, you're also going to be able to obtain a standard driver's license starting, you know, wow, just around election time and mid-2024.

So.

Now you won't need that to vote, of course.

No.

No.

You could go in and vote and they just don't have to bring anything.

We don't have to stop you for anything at the border.

No.

And we don't even have to verify that, yes, those crying children are your children.

We're not going to ask you for...

No, nothing.

Too much.

Too much.

Too much.

Beginning January 1st, Illinois also is shutting off state funding for public and school libraries that ban books for political reasons, including books that promote LGBTQ plus ideology, making the first state to enact the law.

So they are promoting this as a ban on book bans.

Yes.

But of course, these book bans aren't actually occurring.

Correct.

So it's a ban on something that has not really been banned.

Yes.

But we've got the bonfire burning.

All I'm asking you to do is just keep throwing stuff in.

In Colorado, a new law will go into effect beginning January 1st.

Wow, Colorado, another state.

What do these states have in common?

A new law go into effect beginning today banning certain single-use plastics

like bags

and styrofoam cups and takeout containers.

So they say that

these are typically less expensive than paper or biodegradable alternatives.

Yeah, they're also better.

They're also better.

They do the job, you know?

As much as I like taking,

you know, and using my paper towel holder, you know, the inside of the after, I save those now for straws.

The only way you can get any liquid up.

They have to be that wide.

Yeah, and they, and it lasts for, oh,

seconds before it just starts to degrade into whatever it is you're ingesting.

I was at a restaurant this weekend that had

paper straws.

Oh, I.

And I was drinking out of one of them.

First, it's a terrible experience.

Like,

it feels awful on your lips.

It feels awful on your tongue.

The soda doesn't come up.

And I was drinking this, and I just started taking them out and asking for new ones.

Every time it got the slightest bit difficult because

screw these people.

I want to use 50 paper straws just to show them that they shouldn't be doing this.

These stupid restaurants.

No, they won't learn.

Because they don't care.

It's not about it.

Of course, it's not about the climate.

No, it's about, again, marking all of the toys and the toy section.

We've given up.

We're not going to cause any problems.

Even though most of our customers hate this, there's a few vocal people that want us to stop with plastic.

And we might even ourselves want to stop with plastic, but that's not why we're doing it.

We're doing it now so we can tell everybody we've surrendered

it's it's true and it doesn't make any sense either i i was reading this uh our interview in the it was a new york times interview they did with some person who was talking about how to talk about climate she has a new book out and she is concerned about the climate um but her point is basically like hey like we should you know, talk about the positive things that we could do, but not necessarily freak everybody out.

And in the book, the interviewer asked, in the book, you have this category of things that we shouldn't stress about so much, like using plastic straws or single-use plastic bags.

But isn't the person who says, I'm going to care about those things more likely to display the political will that is needed than a person who says, I don't care?

Her response.

I'm clear in the book that I don't think we should use all sorts of plastic bottles and plastic straws, but people stress too much about it.

It's an absolute disaster if they turn up to the supermarket and they don't have a recyclable bag.

They feel awful for the entire day because they're not doing their bit for the environment.

It's just trying to take a little stress out of it so it feels less overwhelming.

The other lens to it is based on this concept of moral licensing where we feel like, oh, yes, I avoided the plastic straw.

I've got my bag.

I can drive my gas-powered car and eat lots of meat.

The risk is that people focus entirely on the small and miss the big stuff.

It's fascinating, first of all, that people really are like this.

Like, people will go to a grocery store, forget their recyclable bag, and feel bad all day.

What sort of psychosis is this no it's not it's a religion it is yeah it's a religion you have sinned against the god of the planet and so you should atone for that you're

the planet will never forgive me this is a religion and and and it is a state controlled religion

and the second part of it is 100 right this moral licensing idea where you can sit there and say well i got my platinum my paper, my recyclable bag, and I'm using these straws that don't work.

Therefore, I'm a good boy, and you're a bad boy because you're driving your gas-powered car when everyone knows

none of that makes a difference.

The plastic straw one we've talked about was initially started by like a fourth grader who had a school report who tried to come up with some number of how many straws we use, and the media picked it up as if it was real.

It literally came from a student in like elementary school.

Still quoted as

real.

Yeah.

All right, back in just a second.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

You know why we can't have reasonable discussions anymore on things is because some stories that you might go, well, I don't know exactly how I feel on this.

You can't have a discussion on that one alone because that one story is not in a vacuum.

It's all of the stories that come out every single day that show we are being dismantled.

And

remember this,

millions of people will die from starvation, from cold.

They will die if the people who have the radical climate agenda win.

Millions will die.

So you can't look at things in a vacuum.

Here's a story.

A new animal welfare law goes into effect today in California.

And it has mandates for space requirements for pigs, cows, and chickens.

And this includes the price of your eggs.

So any meat and eggs gonna go through the roof.

Why?

Because they want the pens

to be larger for each animal.

Now, I don't eat veal because I don't like the idea that they're sometimes hung or they're just kept in a box so they don't move so it be more flavor or less more tender for me.

No, thank you.

So, I do care about the animal.

I raise animals to be eaten, and I love my animals and I treat them well.

However,

what this is going to do, and California knows this, California did Proposition 12.

It goes into effect today and it sets the standards for sale of certain animal products in California.

If you don't comply to California law, you can no longer sell any meat, chicken, eggs, beef, pork to California.

And this

puts an enormous burden on the farmer.

They say, if you want to live up to this, if you're a hog farmer, it will cost you $3,500

per head.

Okay.

$3,500.

I don't know what my cows actually sell for, but I don't think they make that much.

And I fed them all year.

Okay.

This is insane.

This is insane.

And here's what the problem is.

Farmers around the country, because California has such a big population, they buy so much meat, the farmers are going, well, I could either go out of business by trying to comply and hope that I gain

the business in California and other states that will probably follow this,

or I'm just going to stand my ground.

And they don't know know what to do.

And I'm telling you now,

and

I know farmers, and I know the situation you're in, so I don't say this lightly, but if somebody doesn't take a stand,

we're toast

because this is only trying to get it.

This bill is heralded by the

Humane Society.

They don't want you to even have a dog.

Okay?

You can't say you're an owner of a dog you think they're going to stop with this

and i quite frankly am tired of california dictating what i have to do

yeah because i mean i always assume if you're a farmer you're thinking to yourself well i could lose my business if i can't sell to california but if i have to make these changes i could lose my business anyway

because other states aren't going to want to buy.

You know what?

Take a stand in your own area.

You might as well just take a stand in your own area.

I refuse to sell to California because I'm not going to have California dictate to my farm.

And if you start standing together, you know the only thing that's going to teach California, well, I don't even know if it will ever.

I mean, it's just slide into the ocean.

I don't know anything that will actually turn California into a common sense place because everything's on fire and they still go down this road.

But when they can't get any meat, God bless you, California.

Gee, no eggs, no chicken, no meat, no pork.

Huh.

Sucks to be you.

That's why I don't live in California.

Don't take your nonsense and your insanity and shovel it into my backyard.

I don't live in California for a reason.

And now they're going to give, what, free health insurance to all illegal immigrants?

Lie!

It's a lie.

Liar.

Is it?

They're going to do that.

And then we know what's going to happen.

It was when they are on the verge of bankruptcy.

Guess who bails them out?

You do.

You do.

You do.

No.

My star is going to start.

My flag is going to have 49 stars.

I am seam ripping one of them off.

And it might be two.

I may go back to the 48-star flag.

The Glenn Bach program.

Charlie Sheen is an icon of decadence.

I lit the fuse and my life turns into everything it wasn't supposed to be.

He's going the distance.

He was the highest paid TV star of all time.

When it started to change, it was quick.

He kept saying, No, no, no, I'm in the hospital now, but next week I'll be ready for the show.

Now, Charlie's sober.

He's gonna tell you the truth.

How do I present this with any class?

I think we're past that, Charlie.

We're past that, yeah.

Somebody call action.

Yeah, aka Charlie Sheen, only on Netflix, September 10th.

Have no room

to compromise.

We gotta stay together.

If we're gonna survive,

stand up strength

and hold alive.

It's a new day, a time to rain.

Welcome to the fusion

of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Hello, America.

As we start a new year, new day, new attitude.

We begin in 60 seconds.

First, if you're buying or selling a home, you've discovered how much of a hassle it can be, or you're about to.

I feel you.

I bought and sold quite a few houses as I've been on this radio train all across the country.

Sometimes even knowing where to begin is half the battle.

That's why I created realestateagentsitrust.com.

My brother and I went into business together on this.

It was something we were both frustrated with.

And I started working with the 500 best real estate agents in the country, as recognized by the Wall Street Journal, and I got to know them.

How do I even begin to interview a real estate agent?

How do I vet them?

How do I know?

Well, there is a system.

There really is a reason why some are really good and some are not so good.

We found out that system and we vet all these people.

Now, none of them work for me, but they're all fans of the show.

You're going to have a lot in common with them and they have a great track record.

These agents are your kind of people, hardworking, smart, dedicated to their community.

Pretty good chance there's one in your area.

Why not check and see?

Just go to realestateagentsitrust.com.

If you're looking to buy and sell across the street or across the country, realestate agentsitrust.com.

So I

talked to Tony Robbins over the

holiday.

He's an amazing guy, amazing guy.

And the reason why, I said I couldn't start the new year without thanking you for giving me my son back.

If you are a long-time listener of this program, you know that,

you know,

all of our kids are struggling.

And we have had real...

gut-wrenching and terrifying moments in my son's growth.

And

it's nothing unfortunately out of the usual.

And he went to college.

He was, you know,

I thought he was on a great path.

And all of a sudden, he was suicidal and it was horrible and didn't know what to do.

And

I called Tony Robbins.

And I said, Tony, I don't know what to do.

He said, send him to me.

And he didn't mean send him to my house personally.

He said, just,

I'm going to tell you which events your son should go to.

And he talked to me about depression.

And he said,

we have the highest

rebound from depression.

It's like 93%.

Even drugs and counseling, it's like 47%

that hold it.

And he said, it's unlike anything.

He said, all we're doing is just teaching the correct principles,

showing them that their life does have meaning, that they're in control of their own life.

They don't have to wait around for somebody else's permission,

and they don't have to wait around because they can't do it.

Yes, you can.

And

I said, Okay, so I went for a weekend with my son, then my wife went for a week at another Tony Robbins event

with our son.

He is a different man.

I sent a broken boy.

I got a man back.

It is amazing.

I said to him, Tony,

no way I'm spending money, another dime on college that is doing everything to dismantle my children,

where you...

Actually, I did my best, but I couldn't somehow or another break through on this young man, and you did.

I'm going to send him to Tony Robbins University.

And if

it's expensive,

but it is game-changing.

It is game-changing.

If your child wants to change,

that's the biggest thing.

If you don't want to change, you're not going to change.

But if my son was just tired of being like that, he's just, dad, I don't know what to do.

I can't break the cycle.

I don't know.

And we tried and tried and tried.

And he got to a point to where he didn't want to be that way.

And

he is totally,

totally

different.

It's crazy.

And like holding it.

I mean, I know it's only been about, what, four weeks, but still holding it this long, like getting up in the morning was a problem for him.

I went, I think it was the day after Christmas.

I said, Hey, son, I need, and I know he was up till three o'clock in the morning with his sisters watching movies.

And it was like eight o'clock in the morning, and I needed some help.

And I said, Hey, son, wake up.

Can you help me with something?

He popped, popped out of bed, sat on the edge of his bed, and said, Sure, dad, what do you need?

And I'm like, Who are you?

Who are you?

It's incredible.

How much of this is

you to have to make a real change, you have to be able to come to that decision yourself, right?

Oh, 100%.

I mean, you know, you can, he had come to that decision that he didn't want to continue the life he was doing.

He saw there is only dead ends in front of me.

You know, remember, we went.

We've gone through some dark places with him, and we had one

psychiatrist say and i think it was the right thing but don't don't do this without consulting somebody um but uh

we brought him and he said uh you need to tell your son you're not afraid of him killing himself and i'm like uh

what

you need to tell your son you're not afraid you'll be sad it'll be horrible but you'll get over it And probably, I mean, what would happen if that happened?

And he took me through it and I was like, we would probably go on tour and we'd devote our life to suicide prevention.

And, and he's like, so actually, I mean, it's bad.

You'll never get over that, but

you'll do good.

And I'm like, yeah.

And he's like, you need to, you need to let your son know that.

And I'm like, are you,

can I see your license?

I've never wanted a holographic sticker on those license that you have on the walls, but this time I think, but he was right.

He was was right.

And when he stopped,

when he,

when he learned he couldn't get reaction from us anymore,

which was helping him somehow or another, just making things worse, but also giving him

things to blame.

You know, I don't know.

Um,

but once that went away, about a year, year, year and a half later, he's like end of his rope.

And we're a very close family.

So we talk about everything.

You do.

We do.

And

but

he got to the end just, you know, in November.

I was like,

I can't do it.

So I was out of options.

And I'm telling you,

I don't know Tony Robbins.

I know of him probably like you do.

He's a, he's a guy who is motivational speaker and very successful and I think a billionaire and everything everything else.

But I, you know,

I've never studied him or anything else.

He's a lot like my father.

My father taught the same kind of philosophy.

So I can plug into Tony Robbins and go, oh, I know what you're saying.

Where some people might have a problem with it because they think he's, you know, saying one thing and, you know, he's not a guru.

He's teaching you how things work.

the mind mechanically and the body, how they work.

And they never change.

The mind is the mind.

And it works the same with everybody.

The mind is an engine.

You can put whatever body of car you want on it, but it's still an engine.

Okay.

And

that's what he teaches.

And if you go into it thinking, this is all about me.

This is, this is, I've got to find out what the things are that are stopping me.

When I heard my son next to me,

Tony asked everybody to shout out, you know, your biggest fear.

And the thing that really bothers you.

And I'm shouting something out.

And my son, I hear my son, because he is like, keep shouting it, keep shouting it, keep shouting it.

And, you know, I don't think you're supposed to be listening, but it's my son.

I wanted to hear.

And he said,

I'll never be greater than my father.

I was heartbroken.

Heartbroken.

I mean, what a compliment, but heartbroken.

Because that's absolutely not true.

He is going to surpass me.

He's going to surpass me.

And that's good, right?

That's great.

That's what you want as a dad.

Yeah.

My dad, when I hit...

I think 40, my dad came to me and he said, you have surpassed me as a man.

He said, I worked my whole life.

And he started bad with his father.

And he said, I've worked my whole life.

You have now surpassed me.

He was in his 70s.

And I said, No, dad, I don't.

And he said, Yes, yes, you have.

Yes, you have.

And he said, Now your job is to see if your son can do it even a year before you did.

And I think my son's going to do that and then some.

But

I just, I know people are struggling for answers and i know this is expensive um but uh man i i don't know why you're sending your kids to college i mean i i think of the the

the fear of college right now

the uncertainty of college right now what is it Did you see Google, you know, all, hey, you got to learn to write code.

Really?

Do you?

Google just let off 30,000 people this week.

30,000 people.

You know why?

AI.

I have no idea what to take, what the future is going to look like.

I only know that the thing that we came here with, and I mean at birth and all the people, I don't care what color they are.

I don't care how they came here or when they came here, but if they came here for a better life and they wanted to be left alone to pursue their dreams because some bully was standing in the way back where they lived,

they know

I need some conditions that are helpful, but the biggest thing I need is me.

I need me to be solid.

I need to know who I am first.

I need to know what my skills are, what I'm not good at, and I need to conquer those things.

You know, it's amazing.

Tony divides people up into four different categories, water, fire, wood.

I can't remember.

And

because my son was teaching it to me just recently.

But

he's saying, look, you might be wood right now.

You might be fire.

20 years ago or 20 years from now.

You might be that person, but you should be all four of these elements.

Okay.

You can be, you can be more than the others, and that makes sense, but you have to be all of them.

And he's right.

And if you can give your kid a foundation at 20, 25,

I mean, I had a really solid foundation from my father.

But I didn't re it didn't activate in me until I was 35.

Okay.

I think I gave my son a pretty good upbringing.

My wife, especially, gave a pretty good upbringing, but we couldn't activate it.

And so you as a parent usually go, well, something will happen.

They'll remember.

You know, when they need it, they'll find it.

Well, gosh, yeah.

This is a positive way to take action.

And it's, you can do it online.

This is not a commercial for him.

Nothing.

I tell you, I wrote to him a couple of days ago to say thank you.

You have given me a man.

You have not taken from him.

You've activated him.

You just put all of the correct principles in a way that made him understand and go, I want to that.

Tony Robbins,

you should check it out.

He does things online too.

I mean, the seminars and stuff go online.

It's not just about business.

His best ones

empower you as an individual.

And that is what we need, all of us.

We need to realize who we are and how much power we actually have.

We have to stop letting other things in our life control us.

And I struggle with this.

I told Stu when he came in, I've read 90 stories today, Stu, and none of them good.

And I haven't had a pit in my stomach in two weeks.

And I was fine when I got up this morning, and I'm sitting here an hour before the show with a giant pit in my stomach, thinking, good

Lord.

But

I have to do it.

So, how do I do it?

do I

how do I not let the world control me?

That's really the secret, I think.

More in just a second.

Your home is so much more than the place where you live.

It's an investment tool, and you can put that tool to use by accessing your equity as cash, which you can use to pay off high interest debt.

Right now, the average credit card rate is hovering at about 25%.

If you're not paying that debt in full every month, that fee is adding up.

It's two steps forward, one step back.

You just can't let this happen.

All right, so what do you do?

Well, take a look at your spending.

I'm sure you already have your finances and your debt.

Better yet, let American Financing do that with you.

They're helping people just like you get out from that.

debt burden and start to realize significant savings and have some light at the end of the tunnel.

Mortgage refi also could be the thing you need.

Unlike credit card debt, your mortgage interest is tax deductible.

So it stretches that savings out even further.

Talk with one of their salary-based mortgage consultants.

There's no pressure, no upfront fees.

They don't get bonuses for selling you something.

You might be able to delay up to two mortgage payments.

10 seconds, station ID.

All right, you then.

Do you buy into the New Year's resolutions thing?

Do you start your year?

Can I tell you?

I'm living with Yoda now.

My son has become Yoda and it's pissing me off.

He said, my daughter said,

so

you're going to, your resolution is to lose weight again and get into shape.

I mean, that's just rude.

I know, I know.

Well, we, we're pretty rude to each other.

And

I said, yes.

And my son, like Yoda, put his hand on her shoulder and he said,

nothing changes if nothing changes.

I'm like, sit down, Yoda.

Sit down.

Go fly around the room, lift up a spacecraft or something.

Leave me alone.

So So

is that your actual resolution?

Are you thinking?

Yeah, well, I've gotten.

I've gotten to the place, you know, that number that you have when you're like, if I ever hit that, then I'm an absolute cow.

I hit that last year.

Congratulations.

Yeah, yeah.

And I blew it up.

See, you are hitting your goals.

Oh, I blew past that.

That's great.

It was nothing.

Like, it was nothing.

And

I just, you know, I was looking.

When you get to the point to where when you're turning over in bed and you're kind of out of breath, breath, you know, you're like, oh,

that was a workout.

That's a problem.

That's a problem.

You know, some would say.

Yeah.

Some would say.

Yeah.

And, you know, I don't want to, it's, I'm in a month.

I'm 60.

Is that true?

Yeah.

60.

Wow.

That's crazy.

That doesn't feel real.

I know.

I know.

My grandfather died at 67.

That was old back then.

That was old.

Yeah.

And it's not old.

It's not old now.

And I don't want to do that.

And

my niece gave me a picture of my grandfather

for my desk.

And I looked just like him.

I looked just like him, weight and all.

And in fact, he might have been a little slimmer.

Well, he's working outside a lot.

Yeah, he was working outside.

Most of it was muscle, you know, sure.

But yeah, I don't want to end up that way.

I had to sell a few friends over the holidays.

And

every

horrible stereotype of getting older is like every conversation is about health.

I know.

It's unbelievable.

We used to leave, leave the table.

Tanya and I used to leave because we dined with her Italian family.

So all generations were there.

And it was always about, oh man, I got gas so bad.

I can't, I had to go.

I thought I was having a heart attack.

And you're like, what?

And we used to go and think,

I mean, I I don't ever want to have that's all your conversation is now.

Yeah, I feel like it's getting worse too, because there are now so many

like fitness and longevity influencers that people are into.

So like you get in these conversations and everyone's got this like guru that they're watching 900 YouTube videos from that's explaining the nine things you need to do to live to 200 years old or whatever it is.

I don't want to live that long.

No, no, no, no.

Somebody's overrated.

Glenn Beck.

No, no, no.

I mean, do you really want to?

Would you want to live to be 150?

I mean, at some point, aren't you like, oh, okay.

What else can I do here?

I've seen all the shows.

I've seen everything.

I can't watch friends again.

Okay.

I mean, it depends how you're living, right?

I guess the idea is, you know, you want to live a healthy life, being able to do these things.

200 seems like a long time, though.

I'll be honest.

I don't envy the Bible.

Eternity?

It might all be hell.

The Glenn Beck program.

You know, that's what I think hell is.

Just living like this.

Just living like this for all eternity.

Anyway, remember when you were a kid, you hit the ground running in the morning.

You didn't stop until evening.

You would come back when the lights would come on, the street lights would come on.

That's, you knew if that happens and I'm not home soon, I'm in trouble.

I don't have, you know, trouble sleeping all the time, but when I do, it sucks because it's usually like, I've got four hours before I have to do it all over again.

I got to sleep.

And you can't take something that's going to be in your system.

You know,

those days I'd come in like,

and

something else bad happened.

You got to go drug-free, natural.

Well, that's what relief factor sleep is.

I know from experience that it works.

My wife is well.

I mean, I think she's pushing them on me.

Good thing it's all natural because I think she's like, you might want to have sex or something.

Go ahead and have some.

You should go to sleep.

All right.

I want to talk to you about.

I mean,

I thought I'd bring up the

Sam Bankman freed story one more time.

And I.

Why?

Yeah.

I mean, he already had a trial or something.

I know.

He had a trial.

Shouldn't we just forget about everything he did?

Let's not look too closely.

So I know this came out last week, but I haven't had a chance to vent on this one.

And I did vent earlier, but there's more venting to do here.

Just reading the story that came out New Year's Eve.

The decision to avoid a second trial charging Sam Bankman Freed with conspiracy to make unlawful political donations and bribery

has many conservatives up in arms.

Federal prosecutors said Friday they do not plan to proceed with a second trial against Sam

Bankman Freed, citing

cost to the taxpayer.

Ooh,

really good.

Yeah, really good.

What do we need?

No.

Public interest in a speedy resolution to the case.

Oh, yeah, people don't want to know the truth.

they want it to be over quickly.

You know what I've been thinking is, you know, gosh, these, this trial has been going on and on and on.

And when is it ever going to end?

You know?

No, no, I haven't had that thought.

No, I don't know anybody who has had that thought except maybe Sam Bank been freed.

Yeah, or at least the people around Sam Bank been freed.

Well, his lawyers are like, probably, can we stretch this out a little longer?

So

the

The federal court said they do not plan to proceed with a second trial as much of the evidence that would be offered in a second trial was already offered in the first trial

and can be considered by the court at the defendant's March 2024 sentencing.

See, the one part of that was who was he giving his money to?

Which campaigns was he

apparently bribing?

We don't know that part of it.

But we know he gave money to politicians.

We know he promised something like a billion dollars.

Now, there's not a ton of evidence that he gave that much money.

He did give more than any other person on earth, except George Soros, I believe, in that cycle.

And we also know that there was a lot of money that was going through various cryptocurrencies, some of which are not easily traceable, especially if you happen to own an exchange.

And

some of that money is not around anymore.

We don't know where it went.

Don't have any idea.

Think that might be important to find out.

I don't have any idea whatsoever.

But no, apparently not the issue.

Well, the Justice Department said, given the practical reality and the strong public interest in a prompt resolution of this matter, the government just proceeds to, just intends on proceeding to sentencing.

So, I mean, you know,

we don't have to know anymore because, man, I can't wait for that to get over.

By the way, in 2023, ICE had 37,000 migrants in detention.

Okay.

37,000.

Now,

they've issued a warrant to appear.

Oh, good.

That's taken care of.

To 6 million people.

They're not detained, but they have final orders of removal.

So, but it's only 6 million.

And, you know, what do you think?

I'd like the speedy ending to that one.

Yeah, where's the speedy resolution on that one?

I'd like that one.

We're just going to sit here for decade after decade after decade, accepting millions of people.

Did you hear the woman over the weekend that came across the border?

She was issued a court appearing.

She has to appear in court by, what was it, 2031?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Okay.

Yeah.

I don't know.

I'd like a little speedier work on that one.

That's an interesting thought.

You know, it seems like they come right after you when you do something wrong.

Yeah.

You know?

Yeah.

Yeah.

It seems like Donald Trump.

Donald Trump, he's got to have what?

172 trials.

Right.

But Sam Bankman Freed.

he look he's already had one that's enough

ah okay apparently you know and and what is it uh free health care to 700 000 illegals yeah in california in california yeah 700 000 illegals imagine if you're in california you maybe you are an independent contractor working your butt off to try to make ends meet yeah yeah maybe you don't have a health insurance right maybe you can't afford it Maybe you're in one of those little pockets that Obamacare just can't find.

And you find, find, can you imagine finding out that they're giving your tax dollars to illegal immigrants for health care?

I mean, I can't even comprehend how angry I would be if that was happening to me.

You lie.

I don't know.

Why do they keep saying that?

You keep saying that.

I don't keep saying that phrase.

Josh has a memory of some sort that

I don't know what it is.

What was the guy?

I don't even remember the guy's name.

What it is.

South Carolina.

If you don't know what we're talking about, it was during a State of the Union with Barack Obama when he said something to the effect of, they exclaim Obamacare will give free health care to illegal immigrants.

That will not happen.

Will have happen.

And he said, you lie.

And at the time, it was like, oh, my gosh, how could you?

Oh, my gosh.

We're going to spend years calling somebody, the next president, Hitler.

But how could you say you lie to this glorious man?

Right.

And it was a big deal at the time.

Kind of.

It was a big deal.

Joe Wilson was his name.

Yeah, that's

Joe Wilson.

Representative Joe Wilson.

It was, I guess, South Carolina.

And

remember, of course, it is Barack Obama who's president at this time.

The next Democratic nominee for president, Hillary Clinton, had that exact thing in her platform.

That's how long it took for him to be proven right.

You lie.

No, I do not lie.

And now, Gavin Newsom, the seemingly the next guy up in this

long

cavalcade of disasters on the Democratic side, is giving it, has done it in his state, 700,000 people.

You know, here's right now, California, I'm sorry to California.

And I know there's a lot of great Californians that listen to us every day, but

you should get out of there.

But let me just say this: California could burn itself to the ground.

I would weep for the natural beauty of the state.

But far as any of the infrastructure that, you know, was built out there, it's, it's it's all garbage.

It's all garbage.

And it's going to burn itself down.

Here's what I'm not going to do.

Send in tons of money to act as a firefighter for their reckless spending.

I'd love to live.

I always wanted to live in California.

Always.

I loved California.

When I was growing up, it was a lot different.

It was, you know, Reagan had just left, had just left office.

California was kind of a decent place.

Now it's a cesspool.

And I've known forever, I can't live there.

They'll tax you to death.

They'll spend to death.

They're destroying the state.

I am not sending a penny to California.

Not a penny.

You get, you, you made your bet.

When did our

collection of states become a suicidal pack?

We have states that are committing suicide.

Okay.

Look,

if this was a patient, if California was a human being

and you saw their progress

to

suicide, they came in to you 10 years ago, then five years ago, and you said, hey, you should stop doing those things.

They come in and they're in California's condition.

Do you even spend any time with them?

I mean, I would say, you know, I can't help you unless you want to change.

But they're like, no, everything I'm doing is great.

Okay, well, go find yourself another doctor, man.

That is, that's suicide.

That is absolute suicide.

And we all know it.

We all know it.

Why would, why do I have to be involved?

And they'll say, well, that's never going to happen.

Really?

Like 700,000 people on

Obamacare?

Really?

Because that wasn't going to happen either.

Eventually, you run out of other people's money.

And when that happens, you're not coming for mine.

I've got news for you.

Yes, they are.

They are coming for yours.

Well, I hope to be living.

I hope to be living in a state that says, nope, nope, nope, you're not.

Nope, you're not.

You mean a nation-state?

Because you may need to go to a different nation state for that.

I don't think.

I think there comes a time when I don't know what the line is, and I don't, I hope I never see it.

But there is a line that

I think many will know when they see it.

I don't know what it is, it's way down on my priority list of ever finding that line.

But there is a time when people, when you take, when you've taken everything, that some people are going to stand up and go, No,

nope,

I don't, I'm not going there with you.

Now, usually that ends in gulags.

And say it, how does it really end?

Usually it ends with a bullet to the head at the gulags.

Right.

Usually.

But I didn't take you there.

I just took you to the gates of the gulags.

Right.

That's all.

Yeah, that's it.

That's the new optimistic 2024.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Now,

one thing that we did talk about before we went on election

or on vacation, I said, you know, who has Jeffrey Epstein's book?

And we revealed that on one of my Wednesday night television shows.

Not the person I would put the book into the hands of.

But

now,

apparently, right before the new year,

a judge ruled that this has to be released.

So John Doe 36

is President Bill Clinton.

And this is going to come out tomorrow, John Doe 36.

Now, he is mentioned more than 50 times.

Now, of course, they redacted all of this because, you know, you don't, I mean, you know the name, but you don't want to know exactly what he was doing, right?

I mean,

he's already been tried for information.

I want a speedy resolution, speedy resolution.

And that's why I don't want to know any other information.

Apparently, they say this will be released, I think, tomorrow.

So if it is,

we will gleefully cover that.

But he's mentioned more than 50 times, apparently because one of the accusers kept coming to him and saying, come on, testify against him.

You know.

Well,

50 times is a little excessive.

And if somebody's coming to me 50 times and saying, hey, come on, you know.

And other people are, come on, you know, you've got to stand up and testify testify against him.

At some point, I say maybe to Jeff,

hey, Jeff, these people won't leave me alone.

Is there something you're doing to cause this?

You know what I mean?

Or if I know Jeff is kind of, you know, ha ha,

let's have some cigars and some four-year-olds, you know, that kind of guy.

I might, after maybe the 10th time, go,

you know, I'm going to look into that.

I'm going to to look into that.

And I'll get back to you.

Again, that's going to add length to this process.

And all we want is a speedy resolution.

You're right.

Do we want to know the truth?

Amen.

That's amazing.

So

is the accusation that he was involved in this?

Or is it that

he just turned the other cheek because he didn't?

Don't say that.

Not in this.

Don't say he didn't he wasn't willing to open his mouth.

No.

Don't say any of it.

You can't say anything no that's why we need a speedy resolution because whatever we say

i'm guessing it is anyway let me tell you about rough greens

jackie wrote in about her dog's experience with rough greens she says we ordered the sample bag of rough greens uh that you were talking about our little chihuahua loves it now i don't think i ever recommended it for a chihuahua although i'm giving Chihuahuas the benefit of doubt, they're still kind of dogs.

They're not cats.

So

they're okay.

Anyway, she said,

it used to take forever for her eating her food.

Of course, Kibble,

that's like an apple to a regular dog.

Anyway, now she begs for her food every night.

She'll scratch on the cupboard until we feed her.

Her energy is up and she runs up and down the stairs easier than she's ever had.

She's addicted to it.

Wonderful product.

Thank you so much.

Jackie, thank you for writing in and telling me about

your dog.

You see that Joe Biden is in his administration is now thinking about about suing the state of Texas for shipping minors

out of Texas.

Not minors, I'm sorry, illegals.

Well, minors too, probably.

I don't know.

We don't check anymore.

It's not important.

But I say bring it on.

I say bring it on.

I thought the word illegal, in illegal immigrants, had some relevance, but apparently no.

Yeah, no.

We had to pass a new law to make it illegal to be an illegal immigrant.

Yeah, so we're shipping them elsewhere.

And Chicago,

Denver, and New York, they're full up.

They just like, oh, I've eaten too much.

And I just, I can't loosen the belt anymore.

So they, so I think we've sent 25,000 to New York, and they are to the point of like collapse.

Yeah.

Right, right.

At least that's what the mayor is saying.

Texas.

But we got what?

300,000 in one month?

In one month.

In one month.

So the entire time we sent 25,000 up there, but we're getting 300,000 a month.

Well, just this year, we've added the population of,

I believe it's Alabama.

So we just created just one Alabama in the last year.

But Texas' got to take it.

Texas, you'd sit down and shut up.

But no, they're full up.

They can't take another.

I can't have another bite.

It's weird because I heard over and over again it was a human right.

Yeah, no, Sanctuary City.

Yeah, let him come there.

You know,

so yeah, I don't know what happened.

I don't know what.

Tomorrow we're going to show you who's involved, though.

Doctors Without Borders, the Red Cross, the

United Nations, and Friends of the Train.

I love that one.

I wonder if Joe Biden is involved in that NGO.

Friends of the Train, because he's a friend of the train.

You know, he was riding one time and this old train conductor who he'd seen there over and over, who never really worked there when Joe was alive.

But he told him some great little story and anecdote, and none of it happened, but he's definitely a friend of the train.

So we'll show you tomorrow

how planned and coordinated by the left this is.

Now, this is something we told you would happen

in

an episode of my Wednesday night television show in 2018,

but here's the evidence of that conspiracy theory tomorrow.
