You're no longer compromise.

We gotta stand together if we're gonna survive.

Stand up, stand, and hold the light.

It's a new day, our time to rise.

What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is

the Glenn Beck program.

There's a lot going on for

Thanksgiving week, especially,

which it is.

Happy Thanksgiving week.

It is Pat and Stew for Glenn today.

Apparently, a hostage deal, a release of the hostages, is

there might, I guess there's some hope for that.

Even as we talk about that, though, the fighting has intensified.

We'll get into that in much more coming up in 60 seconds.

You know, coming up also on today's program, we have an interesting story for you.

The title, Forget the Founding Fathers.

How we should all basically disregard the things that the founders did and what they might say about today's world.

It's going to be an incredible journey.

And it reminded me as I was reading it about what we talk about all the time with the Tuttle Twins books.

The Tuttle Twins are having their biggest Black Friday deal ever ever with their books, bundles, and some very special one-time bonuses you won't see again.

And stories like Forget the Founding Fathers probably don't exist if people actually read the Tuttle Twins books when they're young.

Because

you're going to learn about the foundation of this country and why it's important to what we're doing today.

If you have kids, I have a couple of them, and they love the Tuttle Twins books.

If you want to have kids that look up to the heroes who built our country, to be empowered, self-motivated, and to think critically, you need the Tuttle Twins books.

These lessons aren't found in schools, and if you want the kids to cherish and defend our nation's core values, these books are key.

Books are the antidote to wokeism and Marxism and the garbage that kids learn at school or online.

Tuttle Twins have two phenomenal bundles.

This week only, go to tuttletwinsbeck.com, get the Black Friday deal, and all the one-time bonuses that are available now.

Again, it's this week only: TuttleTwinsbeck.com, TuttleTwinsbeck.com.

So heavy fighting has erupted around yet another hospital in northern Gaza.

Israel's military has expanded their ground assault

and reports from the Indonesian hospital come after weeks of focus on Gaza's main medical facility, Al-Shifa.

So 31 premature babies were evacuated from the site yesterday, but hundreds of patients and staff are still there,

trapped trapped by the fighting.

Many more have been sheltering at the Indonesian hospital.

Now, I guess the UN has paid them a visit, and so there's video going around of who's there, the hostages,

the

Hamas terrorists mingling around.

Israel has long said that there's a command center either at or underneath this hospital.

And apparently they've got fairly compelling evidence of that, but it doesn't matter to the rest of the world.

It's never going to be enough for the media, I'll tell you that.

You know, they have evidence of tunnels underneath.

They released a drone video, which is pretty amazing to see.

The drone drops through a little hole down a very long shaft to a tunnel system below the hospital.

Now, is that the one with the blast door on it?

Yeah, a blast door.

Yeah.

Now, look, Pat, it's very possible they're just storing their ibuprofen down there.

You know, it's possible,

you know, they were looking to, they had just stockpiles for all the Tylenols are

Tylenes.

You know, that maybe they just thought, you know, why put this stuff in a place that's really accessible to the doctors?

Let's put it way under the earth in a place that almost no one could get to.

Right.

You almost need to be a,

you have gymnast level

dexterity to get to this tunnel.

But let's do that.

Let's put it down there.

And then, when people, you know, need a syringe, they can just drop down 50 feet to these tunnels.

So, that is a good way of running a hospital.

It's possible that's why they're there.

They haven't, they didn't go down there and show like a

Dr.

Evil type headquarters.

So, the media is still hanging on to this belief that this is just only a hospital, even though Israel has also released footage of

Hamas members with hostages

from

Israel and bringing them back to this hospital, passing multiple other hospitals on the way.

You'd think like you just stop at the first one.

No, no, they passed all these other hospitals on the way, bring them to this one particular hospital, and don't seem to bring them into the places where the doctors are.

Huh.

Which is strange.

The doctors, by the way, all seem to understand what's going on here.

They don't seem to be, oh my gosh, I can't believe a Hamas member would come here.

It seems like they're all, like they're all work buddies.

Yeah.

And

over and over again, this has been shown to be the case.

It's just never going to be enough evidence.

You can't prove it enough.

And the standards are so different.

You know, when Israel makes a claim, we have to have drone footage.

We have to have documentation.

We have to show the weapons inside the hospital.

How many layers of proof do we need?

And then when Hamas is like, ah, that bombing, 800 million people killed.

Just run it on the front page of the New York Times.

Right.

There's no evidence at all of any of these things.

They just run the numbers directly from the Gaza Health Ministry, which is basically just Hamas.

I mean, it's Hamas run, and now they're saying 13,000 have died.

13,000.

Health officials reported that.

Okay.

From the Gaza Health Authority.

Which is run by Hamas.

Yeah.

So Hamas told us.

that their mortal enemies

killed 13,000 of them.

Like

a good little automaton, you just go ahead and report the numbers coming directly from Hamas yeah now if there were equivalent ridiculous claims coming from Israel and they were also reporting them I would still say it was not journalism but at least you could make the argument okay they're they're doing this on both sides of course there isn't any equivalent there are no equivalent claims coming from Israel because they're telling you what actually occurred have you also noticed that the estimate of innocent Israelis killed at the beginning of this thing seems to be going down it was 1,500, then it was 1,400, now it's 1,200.

I heard 1,200 as well recently, which was interesting.

Now,

the estimate of injury, which almost never gets talked about, was 3,500.

Jeez.

But

yeah, it is odd.

It does seem to be dropping.

And I think, I don't know what that is.

I've heard pro-Israeli sources say 1,200, which again makes you would indicate to you that Israel maybe is

finding people they thought were killed and weren't.

Yeah.

Or maybe they think they're hostages and weren't actually killed.

They've actually revised the hostage total down as well because they found many of them dead already.

So they're not hostages anymore.

They're gone.

But again, like a country just releasing wild propaganda doesn't do that.

No.

There's no reason to be lowering your estimates after everyone in the world has been talking about them for weeks.

You know, so

it's credit to

Israel if that's what they're doing.

Again, that's not how

it's just not how war works.

It's not even how, you know, we sit here all the time, Pat, and mock international law because international law is not something that

you could talk about it for guidelines for certain things, but it is not something that I would want my country run on.

I don't respect international law as an authority over the United States.

frankly, at all.

Right.

You know, because we're a sovereign nation.

We're a sovereign nation.

We make our own decisions.

Yeah.

When it comes to war, we will make our own decisions and live with those consequences.

International law gives maybe a basic guideline for what you're supposed to do.

Like, for example, you're not supposed to go into someone's country and rape and murder and decapitate them.

Like, that's against international law.

I haven't heard a lot of discussion about that recently.

No, not at all.

No condemnation.

No condemnation.

The UN.

No, it doesn't.

They have condemned Israel.

And in the history of this fiasco, they've condemned Israel 144 times and the Palestinians.

Let me bring down one too.

Let's carry the two.

None.

No times.

Zero times.

Zero times.

Wow.

Yeah.

You know, an easy way to shortcut that is any number multiplied by zero is zero.

You're right.

So if you just next time you're trying to do those calculations in your head, it's an easy one.

Thank you.

It's incredible that this keeps happening.

And this is what they continue to do over and over and over and over again.

And there's no end in sight.

In fact, it seems to be going exactly the way that Hamas wanted it to go.

Their plan was we will go in and do the most

just

vile things possible to a community.

We realize there will be backlash from Israel.

We are counting on it.

We want it.

And we also believe immediately that the international stage will turn on Israel and say they're the bad guys in this.

And if that happens, long term, it might be a win for us.

Maybe we can turn the tides against Israel.

Right now, it seems like a bunch of Arab nations are starting to

partner with them and negotiate with them in ways we haven't seen before.

Let's stop that.

And it seems to have worked with the help of the international media and every left-wing organization in the world.

And it's interesting because time and time again, they've not only lied and lied about numbers and the facts involving these things, but they've also faked a lot of injuries and deaths.

And I mean, to the the point where they use

past corpses to depict current death for themselves and then they stage these rescue operations and you always see these fire people running around and carrying somebody on a stretcher and a lot of times it's not even happening at that particular time.

That's right.

I mean we we had a situation, I believe it was this weekend, where Elon Omar, a sitting congresswoman, retweeted a picture of of a bunch of dead children and said, and it said, like, look at the horrors of Israel.

They're killing, they're murdering 65 children or whatever it was.

And it was a photo.

It was actually a photo from the Syrian gas attacks from what, 2014.

Oh, my God.

Not even the same country.

Oh, my gosh.

And this is a sitting congresswoman.

And I don't know.

Despicable.

I would argue, not to defend Elon Omar at this time, but I would argue she's not even the worst one on the left right now.

I mean, Taib is legitimately much worse.

Yes.

And it's incredible that this stuff happens.

Gosh, it's

embarrassing.

And yet there is no shame.

There's nothing that can happen that would make these people feel bad about the lies that they tell.

No.

It just, there's no limit to the amount of nonsense they will spew and feel no shame for it.

And I don't know.

I mean, we talk about this all the time.

Like,

if we make a mistake, I feel bad about about it.

Like, I feel like

I don't want to blow a story.

I don't want to give a quote that's not really a quote.

You know, you see so much stuff online.

Sometimes you only make sure to correct it.

Yeah, you make sure to correct it.

You're really careful when you do this stuff.

You know, when you're on social media, especially, you see stuff that is retweeted by, let's say, a trusted source, someone you trust.

So,

a lot of times I'll see some reporter that

respect tweet something, and I'll assume it's correct.

And we've been burned by that process before, frankly.

Like, there have been times where even on the conservative side, someone comes out with a claim on the conservative side, we sort of echo it for a few moments, not because we trust them, and then realize after we're doing deeper homework, that's not true.

And we have to come out and tell you about it.

It's happened a few times, not a lot, but a few times.

They don't do that at all.

They don't care.

None of them.

None of the squad does that.

Nope.

None of the left-wing media does that either.

They don't come back and say, oh, you know what?

These Hamas numbers completely out of whack.

They're not true.

No, they're not right.

It's stunning and it's embarrassing, like you mentioned, in a country like ours with all this freedom and the freedom of the press,

but they don't seem to be accountable to us anymore.

They just...

They do their thing.

They lie and stick it right in our face, and they don't care.

They get away with it.

It's really astonishing.

All right, more coming up in one minute.

Patents do for Glenn today.

Of course, it's this administration that makes all of these problems even worse because they go along with it.

They encourage it.

They themselves practice

these lies and the cheating and the stealing from the American people.

So I think it was Cheryl Crowe who said a change, a change would do us good.

It was her, yeah.

And then she said it about 58 straight times in the same song.

There's no other lyrics.

In fact, that's about all she says.

For four solid minutes.

But she's right.

In this case, we could really use a change.

And so as this primary season heats up, I just saw that Nikki Haley surged to number two in New Hampshire after Trump.

She's still way behind Trump.

Yeah.

Well, I think she's, I don't know if that's, I would say that's a current surge.

I mean, she's been, I think she's been the number in second place in New Hampshire for a while.

For a little while, yeah.

She was just up to 18%, though.

I think that's, ⁇ is that higher?

Yes.

Her average right now is 18.7, just

a glimpse.

So the last three polls, she's been at 18, 20, and 20.

In fact, DeSantis is not really even competing in New Hampshire.

He's actually 93.

He doesn't have much of an infrastructure in New Hampshire.

He's fourth in New Hampshire behind Chris Christie is third.

And I think Ramaswamy,

anyway, in the poll I saw this morning.

Yes, I think.

Ramaswamy was even ahead.

Washington Post poll?

Maybe.

Yeah.

8%.

Yeah, let me give it to you.

A Washington Post Monmouth poll came out over the weekend.

Has Trump at 46, Haley 18, Christie at 11, Ramaswamy at 8, DeSantis at 7,

and then Scott Bergum.

Bergham's still at 2.

And, you know, this is the time he makes his run.

People don't realize this.

Bergamentum is about to kick in.

You feel it, don't you?

There's an electricity surrounding his campaign that's undeniable.

It really is.

This is a sun.

You just know that at any minute he's going to explode.

And, you know, look, I don't want to overstate it, but Hutchinson had 1% in this poll.

Now, the last, the two previous polls, he had zero.

So

you think about this increase.

After he got out of the race.

Is Hutchinson out?

I think he's out.

Yeah, he's out.

Wait, he's dropped out?

Yes.

Wait, I missed this happen.

How did you miss that?

That was one of the biggest stories

when Asa Hutchinson dropped out.

Wait, I didn't know he dropped out.

Yeah, he dropped out.

But it's helped.

It's helped him in the middle.

Yeah, it has helped him.

People are like, wow, you know, i missed that guy wait so he's at one so at the last so his average poll right now is 0.3 is that right did you check on it oh yeah he just dropped out all right never mind i take it back i really thought he dropped out i didn't think he did

that that i was thinking of he's dang it he's pushing on to the end he's gonna keep churning until this happens And that's the thing.

Now, look, do I think the end of this, look, I know a lot of people like Trump.

A lot lot of people like DeSantis.

A lot of people like Haley.

I get that.

But the end of this game is a Bergham-Hutchinson ticket.

That's what it sentence.

That's right, okay.

That's the only one that right now.

It's the only one that can win.

It's the only one who can win.

It's the only team that can bring us to the promised land is Bergamentum, Bergamania kicking in with ASA fever.

And when those two get together.

So it's Bergamentum, but ASA fever.

ASA fever.

Okay.

Yeah.

And that's

it.

It's also a disease, you should know.

And if you it, you see your physician immediately.

It is deadly.

That is,

but

it's deadly for your campaign.

That's for sure.

If you catch ASA fever, wow.

Yeah.

At any time.

But it's, you're right.

It's an interesting now.

This is why I think we talked about this last week a little bit.

Like there's an argument, and the Haley people will make it to you if you ask them, that they're actually in second place overall.

You could go either way on this.

I think I would say DeSantis is he's still second place nationally.

He is second place in Iowa.

But to be fair, Nikki Haley is in a strong,

strong second is overstating it because all these people are behind Trump.

What I'm saying is in this secondary primary, right?

With everyone else outside of Trump running for that second choice.

And there will be a second choice at some point.

Someone will develop.

It will happen either if DeSantis wins Iowa or if DeSantis loses Iowa and Haley can come in a stronger second in New Hampshire.

Because the thing with Haley is she dovetails New Hampshire with her home state.

So she has the second state is Haley friendly because it's more of a moderate electorate in New Hampshire.

And then the third state is her home state, which obviously is Haley friendly.

So she has an argument that she could, especially if DeSantis can't win in Iowa, can kind of take over that mantle of the other choice.

And then you're going to have that.

Trump versus Haley thing that may not last very long, but is possible.

Really surprising to me that she's doing that well.

And she seems to have gone up in each of the after each of the debates.

And I don't, I don't know, maybe it's just me.

I just have not liked.

In fact, I like her less after the debates.

The first two debates I did not like.

I thought the

third debate, I thought she was better.

But still,

again, she's representing a part of the party that does exist, right?

Just because, yeah, like that, that is a...

I mean, that was a fundamental part of

the Reagan fusion

argument back in the day.

Right?

Like the national security conservatives, the foreign policy conservatives

that were hawkish.

That was a part of it.

And those people still

fits that bill.

She does.

She does.

And she promises.

She's also squishy on abortion.

And I really don't like that either.

So.

She is very squishy.

She's like, well, we can't really get votes.

So what if we don't say anything about it?

And it's like, yeah, we tried that.

Yeah, that was a long time.

A long time of trying that.

It didn't work.

And honestly, when you see the most successful moments in conservative history, they coincide with a lot of talk about it.

I mean, go back to Ronald Reagan if you want to go back there.

You know, yes, foreign policy conservatism was part of it, but

he was not squishy on abortion.

Not at all.

888-727-BECK with your thoughts.

The Glenn Beck program.

So we've taken a good beating as a country the past couple of years, and you've probably felt that a little bit.

And I'm sure you, like millions of other Americans, Americans, are feeling the effects of all of that.

If you're one of the people who are trying to sell or buy a house,

well, things could be kind of scary right now.

The deal, however, is that Americans are kind of like, it's our thing to get back up and just push back when we have tough times.

And we're in one of those periods right now.

Glenn started a company a few years ago called RealEstate Agents I Trust.com because he had dealt with all the hassles that, you know,

go along with buying and selling of homes.

It's not fun.

And he was complaining about it constantly, all the time.

I come in every day, and we want to talk about the news, and he would just be complaining about his real estate experiences.

So he started a company to actually do something about it, and it's been a huge success.

And one of the reasons it's a huge success is it's free for you.

If you want to find the best agent in your area, whether you're buying or selling a home at no cost to you whatsoever, go to realestateagentsitrust.com.

The name kind of says it all: realestate agentsitrust.com.

Have the best experience you can have with a big financial transaction like a real estate buying or selling a home.

It's realestate agentsitrust.com.

Check out my show, Pat Gray Unleashed, every weekday, 7 to 9 Eastern, live, 6 to 8 Central, or anytime and anywhere you get your podcast.

888727BECK.

You know what?

It is Joe Biden's 81st birthday today.

Happy birthday,

Mr.

President.

Happy birthday

to

It's a little creepy.

I mean, Marilyn Monroe is way too young for Joe Biden.

Yeah, way.

You know.

Yes, that is true.

It's true.

It's uncomfortable.

Because mental acuity-wise, he's about 216.

Wow.

It's kind of like dog ears.

216

with Joe Biden.

Just take his age and multiply it by three-ish,

and you get his mental acuity age.

Yeah.

He is

on a heck of a roll with this stuff.

Isn't he, though?

Yeah.

I've been

you see these clips come across social media all the time of him just stumbling and bumbling his way through stuff.

It's so embarrassing.

But like, what's I think increased even more than that since he's become president are the moments where he seems like he looks like he doesn't know where he's supposed to be.

Oh, I love that.

It's really kicking in.

And it happens every time at the end of a speech.

Yeah.

And you know, they've gone over it with him over and over.

Mr.

President, when the speech ends,

exit stage left, and someone will be waiting there for you to guide you down the stairs.

And so every time it's like,

where do I go?

Do I go over there?

No.

How about over there?

And do I go up there?

He has no idea.

He just can't do it.

He's incapable of understanding or remembering the directions you know he was given.

They have to tell him.

Many times it's written on a piece of paper he's holding.

That's right.

Which is what I still can't do.

And I have real sympathy in a weird way with the people around him because, you know,

as a man who's worked with Glenn Beck for multiple decades,

and you have his wealth hat, like Glenn has a bit of this in him, not from a,

not from a, I don't know, mental acuity standpoint, but from a, like, he's oblivious to all things told to him at any other point during the time.

He's got too many other things in his head.

Yeah.

And to worry about the details like that.

That's not the case with Biden.

No, but you, you come up up with tricks to try to get him to do the things that he needs to do.

Like, hey, you got to make sure you talk to this person.

You got to make sure this is this person's name.

Glenn's terrible with names.

You know, you have to make sure

you do X, Y, and Z.

You have to make sure you hit this thing.

Like, hey, we're here to promote.

This big project you're working on.

You have to mention it during the speech.

And then he'll do a 45-minute speech and then walk off stage and never mention it.

Like, that is like, that's the type of stuff Glenn does all the time.

So you come up with tricks.

You put little reminders in certain places.

You help him insert it into the actual speech text, right?

Like, so, hey, you're making this point that's very closely associated with this thing you're supposed to talk about.

Maybe that's a good time to mention it.

And occasionally he might even do it.

But like, so I have some sympathy with like the White House aide who's like, I just need him to walk to the left.

It's got to be the most frustrating thing in the world.

It's got to be.

Because they know how important this is.

And they know that the public perception, even among Democrats now, they're starting to become concerned about how old and decrepit over

50% of Biden voters say he can't do the job.

More than 50%.

Imagine that's incredible.

Imagine facing that as a campaign.

Forget the fact: well, look, we all know Biden's destroying the country.

Take that out for a second and think about this just from a strategical perspective.

You go into this and you're like, wait a minute,

what are we supposed to do here?

Right.

How do we get this to happen?

Our biggest vulnerability is a guy who can't

think or speak or walk the right direction or coherently get through a five-minute outlay of his policies.

And yet,

the only way to solve that, right?

If you are a normal candidacy, like, and I've seen articles written about this, if you're a normal candidate, the only way to get through this and solve this is to put him in positions where he can succeed, right?

Put him in front of people more often and make it look like the thing they're concerned about isn't true.

And they can't do that because there is no scenario in which he can succeed.

And that's why he does the fake jog everywhere he goes.

Because it's like, look at me.

I can move my arms quickly for a second.

And that is really why they do that.

Look like I'm jogging.

And he's got a habit now.

He does it every time, everywhere.

Right.

He remembers, thinks, show that I'm young.

VRI.

Show how spry I am.

Right.

Despite the fact that he's actually shuffling to wherever it is he's going, I'm going to move my arms and make it look like I'm jogging.

Yeah.

And you can see it's like that, that really weird, like, you know, look, this affects everybody when you get to this age, this stiffness, you know.

Yep.

They talk about how when you get older, one of the defining characteristics of that is if I were, if Pat, if you were walking ahead of me and I said, Pat, and you'd turn around and look at me and like you,

you wouldn't turn your entire body around.

You'd turn from your waist up, you'd kind of turn with your legs a little bit, and you'd turn back and you talk to me.

When you get to a certain age, your flexibility drops to a point where

you have to shuffle your feet around and you totally turn around and look at the other person.

That's the only way you can turn around.

And look, this is not,

I'm not being critical here of people as they get older.

It happens to literally everyone.

We're all going through this process.

This is the president of the United States.

Exactly.

We need him to be better than this.

You need him to be spry and thoughtful and sharp.

And despite the fact that the White House spokespeople continue to tell us, oh, he's the sharpest, best communicator in the White House.

Oh, the interns, the 20-year-old interns can't even keep up with him.

Yeah.

Are they crippled?

Are they

mentally, yes?

Yeah.

Do they have no legs?

I mean, how is that possible?

It's not.

It's not possible.

Well, and you see, again,

you try everything you can.

So, So as we just talked about, the normal way you'd solve this problem as a campaign would be to put your candidate in positions that they can succeed often

to push back against the narrative that he's too old and can't do this job.

However, none of these situations actually exist with Joe Biden.

So they've gone to the next step down in the bag of tricks, which is to say, all the times you can't see him, he's doing the job well.

When you can see him, I know he has these moments.

It's, ah, geez.

But when you're not there, when you can't see him, when only we can witness it, he's amazing.

We can't even keep up with him.

This is legitimately where they are now.

They have no other place to go.

So they're just saying, like, look,

what if we tell you that

these invisible times that you'll never be able to witness, he's amazing and just hope you believe it.

And look, all of the

The media members will echo it.

So there'll be some basis for people to believe it.

If you believe in the media, you might very well go along with this nonsense.

You might say, okay, well, you know, maybe he gets in front of people and it doesn't go so well.

But look, all these people I trust from the mainstream media and all these three-letter networks are telling me when he's off the air, when he's not, when no cameras are around, he's incredible.

And it's like, how could anyone believe that?

I don't know, but people do.

Some do.

Democrats do.

I mean, it's,

I think that Republicans, 86% of Republicans think, you know, he's passed the place where he can continue to serve in his capacity.

86%?

86%.

And I think it was 61% independents.

But it's growing to the point where now even Democrats, like you said,

are starting to think, yeah, I don't necessarily want him to run.

And I think that's about 50% or so.

The ones that said he's actually too old to serve was maybe 26%, if I remember

correctly.

But I mean, it's pretty widespread now.

It's not just Republicans.

It's not just the right.

Yeah, it's, you know, as far as the

direct mental acuity, it's not 50%.

But when you're talking about whether they would rather have someone else, that's not normal for a candidate.

It's like not.

That's not a normal thing that you're dealing with as a candidate.

You're running as an incumbent.

Joe Biden's the president of the United States.

Yeah.

The exact quote or question was: when it comes to Joe Biden's fitness for the presidency, how big a problem do you think his age is?

All voters, 56%.

Jeez.

With Republicans, 86, as I said, and Independents, that was the figure, 61%.

With Democrats, 27%

think it's a big problem.

Another 44%

say it's a small problem so

that's a pretty high percentage uh you know of 70 71 percent of democrats think it's at least some kind of a problem

yes i would say that is and it's you know

look they will say it over and over again um they don't want a to a guy who And I think, you know, this gets overblown.

The number is the easy way to summarize this argument.

And it's important important to understand, I think, that it's not about the number.

It's about the mental acuity.

Right, it is.

The most obvious example.

If he was 81 and perfectly fine mental health-wise, that wouldn't, you know, his policies would still be a problem for me.

But

it wouldn't be that I think he's decrepit and not capable of being president.

Another, let me give you another poll.

This is from,

let's see, who is the pollster?

Associated Press poll from this this is from a couple months ago.

But

is Joe Biden too old for a second term?

U.S.

adults, 77% say yes, Biden is too old.

That's huge.

Republicans, 89, so pretty consistent with the other poll.

However, Independents, 74% say that he is too old.

And Democrats, 69%

say he's too old.

69%

of Democrats.

Now, you notice there's a slight wording difference here, and that is important.

Like, is he capable or is he too old?

Meaning, like, maybe it's ideally we'd have someone younger.

Yeah.

But I do think that the numbers are much better for Trump.

In fact,

you'd expect them to be worse for Trump among Democrats, and they're basically the same, you know, among, which is a win for Trump, right?

But among independents, 74% say Biden is too old, and only 48% say Trump is too old.

Now, I mentioned

these steps of what you do as a campaign.

Number one is you try to get your candidate out there to disprove it.

They can't do that.

They have no way of doing that.

Number two is to say, well, when you can't see him, he's better.

Then when you can see him, trust us, we're going to be able to do that.

And then we just have to be naive enough to believe it.

Right.

And number three is to try to undercut

the difference, right?

So this is a new approach, and you're going to see this a lot more often.

Get ready for this.

This is going to happen all the time.

They are going to take every time Donald Trump makes an error.

Right.

And they're starting to do that already.

They're doing it already.

There's a new Jonathan Carl book coming out

about the Trump administration.

And he's an ABC reporter.

But one of the focuses of the book is actually behind the scenes, Trump,

the people around Trump are worried about him losing it because he's too old.

They say that he keeps referring to President Obama instead of President Biden.

And he has done that in a couple of speeches.

They go back and they say he's misnaming countries.

He's saying, I talked to this this leader of this country and it's the wrong country.

They're now going to try to emphasize every mistake Trump makes, not as Trump's crazy or Trump is, I mean, they'll say that stuff too, of course, but also that Trump is just as old as Biden and having the same problems.

Now, when your campaign boils down to that, their candidate is also

compromisedly incomprehensible and incoherent and is compromised mentally, that's not a good place to be.

That doesn't seem to be.

But that's how desperate desperate they are.

Yeah.

It is legitimately complete desperation.

All the things that we say on the air, all the things that you say to your friends, all of those things are being said by Democrats behind Joe Biden's back every single day.

They all know.

They all believe it.

They all believe.

This is one of those weird cases.

This is completely bipartisan.

They know what you know.

They don't admit it in front of the cameras.

But they know what you know.

They know this is a massive problem.

They know everyone can see it.

They have no idea what to do with themselves.

But again,

ultimately it comes down to

the best birthday card, which I both just did.

81 years young today.

All right, more coming.

All right.

Let me tell you about American financing.

American financing,

well, the year is winding down and the new year is right around the corner.

So you need to be asking yourself, what are your financial goals?

What is it that you're going to do to shore up your financial house?

Where are the areas where you're saving money?

And more importantly, where are the areas where you're not saving money?

If you're like a lot of Americans,

you know, the answer to that is debt.

Things like high interest credit cards, which are, you know, double digits and not even low double digits anymore.

If you're a homeowner, it's time to do something about it.

You can, with American Financing, in 10 minutes, they can do a free financial review that will show you what your options are.

People are doing this and saving 700 bucks a month.

Does that sound like something you could use?

700 bucks a month, especially as we approach the holidays.

Imagine how much freer you would feel by getting out from under that debt.

American Financing is America's home for home loans, and they've been helping people just like you get free of their financial burdens for over 20 years.

Be the next person that they help.

There's a lot of them, and you can be in that line.

I've been helped by American Financing.

So many people around here have as well.

It's American Financing 800-906-2440.

the Glenn Beck Program

And welcome.

Pat and Stu for Glenn today, and until Wednesday, actually.

And then I think Thursday.

I was thinking about taking Thursday off.

I wanted to talk about that.

Were you thinking about that?

Yeah.

Yeah.

What about Friday?

Yeah.

I've had some shopping to do.

Yeah.

It's Black Friday.

Black Friday.

And there's an NFL game on Black Friday for the first time in history.

Really?

Yes.

First time in NFL history.

Oh, I wouldn't even guess there's never been one.

A Black Friday game, yeah.

So you get now three games,

three games on Thanksgiving now.

That's great.

And one game on Black Friday.

So you never have to leave the house anymore.

You just watch football all the time.

That is basically what we're.

I don't know the schedule off the top of my head.

I will look into it here in a second.

But tonight, the Eagles play the Chiefs, right?

This is a Super Bowl rematch.

Super Bowl rematch, people were saying the biggest regular season game in years.

You have the 8-1 Eagles.

Here's what Records.

We just found out.

And maybe it's been the case the whole time.

But apparently, no Taylor Swift at the stadium today.

Yeah, very sad.

And we were all counting on that distraction.

Shockingly, you will still get

80% of the coverage will still be about.

The parents are still meeting or whatever, right?

Whatever.

Yes.

And so we definitely want to cover that.

Oh, we must.

Have to.

We must.

It's so disappointing.

I just, I just want football.

But I will say, what's funny about this is I do get now constantly social media messages about Jason and Travis Kelsey from my wife.

Like, whatever they're doing, I get updates all the time from my wife.

All of a sudden, she's very interested in the center of the Philadelphia Eagles.

Well, it looks like a scientist has stepped out of line and now he's got to be slapped back into line.

John Klouser, who won the Physics Nobel Prize last year,

said, I can very confidently assert there is no climate emergency.

Look out.

Woo!

Not allowed to say that.

As much as it may upset many people, my message is the planet is not in peril.

Atmospheric CO2 and methane have negligible effect on the climate.

How dare you?

How dare you?

How dare you speak the truth?

The policies the government have been implementing are totally unnecessary and should be eliminated.

So far, we have totally misidentified what is the dominant process in controlling the climate, and all of the various models are based on incomplete and incorrect physics.

Again, the winner for the Nobel Prize for Physics from last year.

The dominant process is the cloud sunlight reflexivity thermostat mechanism.

Clouds are all bright white and they reflected 90% of the sunlight back into space, making them the most crucial yet most overlooked aspect of the climate system.

So I guess we need to change the clouds.

Two-thirds of the Earth are ocean.

The Pacific Ocean alone is half the Earth.

The average cloud cover for the Earth is 67%, about 50% over land, 75% over over oceans i claim that the above conspicuous properties of clouds are the missing part of the puzzle well how dare you you're not allowed to say those things you can't say those things um

so

he went to this conference at the four seasons hotel in washington and he was with some other speakers that also identified and denounced climate change as a hoax perpetrated by a global cabal including the u.n the World Economic Forum, and many leaders of the Catholic Church.

Now, who's writing the summary of their statements?

This is the Washington Post.

I was going to say, that doesn't sound like what they actually said.

No, it's not.

Yeah, I just want to say it's a global cabal.

That's not how they actually talk.

This is how you make them

look like they don't have any credibility.

And they go a little bit further in this next paragraph.

It might have seemed like a fringe event, except for one speaker's credentials, John F.

Clauser, who shared the Nobel Prize in Physics last year before declaring Tuesday that there is no climate crisis, a claim that contradicts the overwhelming scientific consensus.

There is no scientific consensus on this.

We've shown you the letters written by and signed by,

was it 35,000, 40,000?

What are we up to now?

Something like 40,000 scientists who dispute that it's catastrophic.

And almost all of them say, yeah, okay, the Earth is warmed a bit, but it is not a catastrophic problem, nor is it something we can control.

Nor is it something that, if we could control, should be as high on our priority list as the left wants to make it.

Like you have, you know, like something like tuberculosis is still killing tons of people in the world, and it's completely curable, like with basic steps.

Like there's no, why wouldn't we care about that more?

Malaria.

Millions of people die and we don't seem to care at all.

We don't.

But like, we're like, oh, well, 0.04 degrees over the past 10 years.

We need to make sure we do something about that.

It's like, well, even if we could,

it shouldn't be on the top of our priority list.

And of course, it's impossible to do.

It's impossible to try to figure out how to manipulate the global climate like it's a thermostat in your, in your office.

That's not the way that works.

And something they never talk about is the fact that, okay, all of this is based on CO2, right?

The CO2 has gone up, and so that's pushed up the temperature.

Yes.

Well, years ago, and nobody ever talks about this, Al Gore made this amazing admission.

The temperature goes up before the C2.

Sometimes that has been true in the past.

The opposite has also been true.

Wait, okay, so you just admitted.

Give it to me one more time.

Okay.

The temperature goes up before the sea.

Sometimes that's

been true in the past.

The opposite has also been true.

Well, then that blows your whole premise.

If the temperature goes up before the CO2 does, that means it wasn't caused by the CO2.

That has been true, but also the opposite has also been true in the past.

Well, so that just tells you that

it's not definitive, that the Earth goes in cycles.

A little more complicated, right?

Yeah.

This is a

very complicated, chaotic system with thousands of variables, many of which people don't fully understand.

And when they try to make these climate models, the reason they can get to these catastrophic predictions is not because of the basic elements that they're talking about in our climate system.

It's because they start predicting that they're going to feed back on top of each other and make each other worse.

So there's a climate feedback system in their view, a positive

climate feedback system, which means that basically it creates a never-ending loop and it gets worse and worse and worse.

And, you know, it's like when they talk about AI and they say, well, if AI gets smart enough, it can create its own AI.

And then that AI will be even smarter.

And that AI can create its own AI.

And it can start getting worse and worse and worse.

And everything's going to spiral out of control.

Sometimes that stuff can happen.

Like there are positive feedback loops that happen in the world.

They're pretty rare, though, because if positive feedback loops existed commonly, things would spiral out of control all the time.

All the time.

And they don't.

For the most part, they don't spiral out of control.

That's why humanity has existed for a while.

There's a stable enough climate system.

You would see these things, you'd see extinction-level events all the time if these things were true.

And yet, for some reason, every single weather event, which we used to be told, don't confuse climate with weather or weather with climate.

But they do that every time.

Every time.

Every time there's a heat wave or a spike on a daily basis, even it's global warming.

It's climate change.

So I've taken the opposite stance.

Like every time there is a day that's cooler than it normally should be, that's proof to me that there is no climate change.

You've just gone the other way.

I've just gone the other way.

I like that.

That's one way of doing it.

And it's about as random as their

approach to the problem.

Yeah.

Well, if you're going to use weather for climate and climate for weather, then we should do it too.

Well,

I think there's an important part of this that people don't typically focus on, which was they say,

you shouldn't confuse climate with weather.

The important part there is not climate or weather.

It's you.

You shouldn't confuse climate weather.

We can do it all you want.

We'll do it all the time.

That's right.

You shouldn't do it because you do it.

Little people.

Well, yeah, because you do it and it hurts our argument.

So please don't do that.

Gosh.

You know, whenever they have a,

you know, this is

history that probably a lot of people know by now, but, you know, when you have a climate conference or a big hearing and it's in April and it's snowing, they'll be like, oh my gosh, these typical left-wingers, or excuse me, typical right-wingers.

They're just trying to disprove

science and they're trying to claim as if it matters that one day it snows in Washington, D.C.

in April.

Who cares?

It's got nothing to do with that.

It's just weather.

It's not climate.

And yet, in the most famous

climate

conference

and hearing of all time, this is when James Hansen was really like getting on board with the...

Who's never been right about a single prediction?

He wasn't right about this.

And you go back and and look at his predictions you know he predicted a level of co2 in the environment that was worse what really happened was worse than his worst case scenario so more co2 actually got into the atmosphere than his worst case scenario and yet his the temperature predictions it was the results were actually better better for the earth didn't warm as much better than his best case scenario and he's created he's like this like climate like you know

all the time they quote him all the time all All the time.

But in that hearing, they intentionally turned the air conditioning off so it would be hotter in the room so that people would look sweaty.

Oh my gosh.

Because it was the middle of summer in Washington, D.C., where it does get a little hot, especially if you don't turn the air conditioning on.

So the air conditioning wasn't on.

And this sort of stuff happens, you know, of course, look, a lot of this is not about science.

It's about trying to win people over.

And if you get to, it's not to say that there are no serious climate scientists that are worried about this.

There are some and but there are also others that aren't and people like this guy who you know again won the the Nobel Prize not you know 20 40 80 years ago but last year now it was for a discovery that happened I think almost 70 years previous yeah in the 70s but that was part of his point he's just like look it took 50 years for the scientific community to talk about what I discovered back in the 70s.

In the 70s, they all told me I was nuts.

They all told me scientific consensus does not work with my experiments.

None of these discoveries are going to amount to anything.

50 years later,

they announced I won a Nobel Prize.

That's a great point.

And so the same type of stuff is very likely to go on with climate.

Listen to how The Washington Post treated this guy.

The event showcased Clauser's remarkable shift since winning one of the world's most prestigious awards for his groundbreaking experiments with light particles in the 1970s.

His recent denial of global warming has alarmed top climate scientists

who warn that he's using his stature to mislead the public about a planetary emergency.

Then I love this.

Klauser, 80, who has a booming voice and white hair, he often leaves uncombed.

He's not

wanting to comb his hair.

You're just trying to disparage the guy because he didn't comb his hair

has brushed off these concerns.

He says skepticism is a part of the scientific process.

How dare you?

How dare you say that?

But that's exactly right.

You are supposed to be a skeptic.

Otherwise, we'd be believing things that just aren't true.

Somebody else has to say, I'm skeptical that you found cold fusion

at the University of Utah.

You're a bunch of godless animals over there, so I don't believe that that happened.

I'm going to try to replicate your experiment.

No one could back in 1989 replicate cold fusion.

Why?

Because there was skepticism.

It's a key part of the scientific process.

It turned out not to be the case.

It turned out not to be a fact.

And sadly, we don't have cold fusion now.

It would be great if we did.

Yeah, it would be great.

I would love that because then you've got endless energy that's very, very affordable.

And you're harnessing the power of the sun.

Well,

we don't have that yet.

Yeah.

One of the key things I think, Pat, to that story, and you hit on it in that last passage, is recently, he recently talked about his skepticism of global warming.

That largely has come after he won the Nobel Prize.

If he said it before, he wouldn't have won the Nobel Prize for his discovery from the 70s.

That has nothing to do with this.

It's a physics discovery.

But this is why scientists don't want to speak out on this when they're skeptical.

Because this guy would have lost his Nobel Prize if he had said these things very publicly beforehand.

And you know they're going to disparage this guy, make him look like a kook.

They're already doing this.

Yeah, he can't

comb his hair.

Can't even brush his hair.

It's crazy.

But a quick example of this from the left, for example, and I know what people think about this right now,

particularly in this audience, but think about this from the left-wing perspective.

Think about this from the Washington Post perspective.

mRNA technology had this exact same vibe against it when it was being created.

When they they they shut down research project after research project after research project.

And I know a lot of people are saying, well, I wish they shut them all down.

But think again, think about this from the Washington Post's perspective.

People who constantly praise this technology all the time.

This entire thing would have been shut down if they ran it like the left wants science run today.

Well, scientific consensus says no, so stop, right?

In their view, this miracle of modern science came from this exact same thing where a bunch of scientists said, well, wait a minute, you keep telling me we can't do this.

I think we can.

I think it's going to work.

And in the Washington Post's mind, certainly that was a wonderful success that came from scientists who didn't agree with the consensus pushing forward anyway.

So again, there's dozens of stories like this.

It happens all the time in science, which is what, this is why science is such an effective thing, right?

Like the reason why we've advanced so far is because a lot of people ask questions.

Hey, maybe we should be washing our hands in between surgeries.

You know, I don't know.

It seems like, you know, and that was one of them.

Yeah, because that was a waste of time before.

Scientific consensus was a waste of time to wash your hands in between surgeries.

And that's why so many people were dying all the time.

Hey, you're giving it, we're at a maternity ward.

No, you don't need to wash your hands in between.

Despite how disgusting it seems, just on the surface, that obviously you should be washing your hands.

They were spreading disease from one patient to the other.

Patients were dying like crazy until some guy stepped up and said hey wait a minute

i'm gonna put my hands under water just in between

use a little bit of soap a little soap yeah more in one minute

all right and a uncomfortable question for you uh well you know aren't your are your kids learning enough about actual american history in your school the answer might scare you as we found out really recently over the past few years and we went through the covid period and we're all like watching our kids on zoom calls and being like wait a minute what are they teaching my kids Well, the Tuttle Twins is here.

They're having their biggest Black Friday deal ever with their books, their bundles, some very special one-time bonuses you're not going to see again.

These books are an absolute must.

You know, our everybody around here reads them with their kids.

We all have known about the Tuttle Twins for a while now.

If you haven't, well, it's not a surprise.

No one wants to tell you about them in the mainstream media.

They're just great books for kids that teach kids real history, real philosophy, really important information.

If you want to instill the true principles of our founding and our nation into your kids, have them look up their heroes and have them learn about the truth about those heroes.

Be empowered, self-motivated, and think critically.

Well, you need the Tuttle Twins books.

These aren't lessons you're going to be found in your schools, especially if your kids are going to a public school that's teaching them all sorts of nonsense.

If you want your kids to cherish and defend our nation's core values, these books are key.

They are the antidote to wokeism and Marxism and all the garbage that kids are learning in school these days.

Tuttle Twins have two phenomenal bundles right now, and it's going on this week only.

Go to tuttletwinsbeck.com, tuttletwinsbeck.com, get the Black Friday deal, and all the one-time bonuses that are available.

Again, this week only, TuttleTwinsBeck.com.

It's TuttleTwinsbeck.com, 10-second station ID.

Pat and Stu for Glenn today.

Let me just give you one more little section on the Washington Post and their response to

John F.

Clauser, who was a Nobel Prize winner.

But the effort to discredit him already.

He didn't comb his hair.

Then they talk about what he wore.

Why would that be

important at all?

Why would you even include that?

Clauser, who wore a gray blazer with black jeans and Tiva sandals,

appeared buoyant as he took the stage.

He cycled through a PowerPoint presentation that began with the exclamation: great news, there is no climate crisis.

Shouldn't that be great news?

It should.

Seems like terrible news to the left.

They want us to be under constant danger all the time from the climate.

Clouser then bragged that he met, he bragged that he met privately with President Biden in the Oval Office last year when the 2022 Nobel Prize winners were invited to the White House.

This is a great story, though.

He said he criticized Biden's climate and energy policies, to which he said the president replied, sounds like right-wing science.

Oh, right-wing science from the Nobel Prize winner.

Because the Nobel, as we know, Pat, the Nobel organization, very conservative.

Oh, yeah.

Very right-wing.

Everything that they do.

Very.

Klauser, who has never published a peer-reviewed paper on climate change, so they're discrediting him from even talking about it.

How dare you even discuss it, despite the fact that you're a Nobel Prize winner in physics, has homed in on one message in particular.

Earth's temperature is primarily determined by cloud cover, not carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels.

He has concluded that clouds have a net cooling effect on the planet, so there is no climate crisis.

Michael Mann, a climate scientist at the University of Pennsylvania, said that argument is pure garbage and pseudoscience.

Well, then if Michael Mann said it.

Yeah, a guy who's had, let's say, his share of controversies over the years.

He's the hockey stick guy.

He's the guy who came to hockey stick chart.

He's completely discredited.

Yeah.

Well, I mean,

he does sue a lot of people, so I'll say allegedly on that one.

Allegedly discredited.

Yes.

He is

not my favorite climate scientist.

But again, it's okay for him to have that view, right?

It's okay that these guys disagree.

Some people do really believe that this is going to be catastrophic, I think.

Now, the politicians, I don't think, care.

And that's really what more of the focus needs to be.

Again, scientists can disagree with each other, and that's totally healthy.

And some will believe it's catastrophic, some won't.

But it's the politicians who come in and try to adapt trillions of dollars of your money to spend on things.

They don't care if it's really catastrophic.

They just see this as a means to an end.

And that's really where the focus needs to be.

So what are you looking for when you walk down the meat aisle at your grocery store?

A good price, something high-quality that you can feed your family with pride.

How about raised in America?

Are you looking for raised in America?

It's probably some combination of all those things because what you put on the table matters.

Now, we've got 85% of grass-fed beef is imported from overseas, but not with good ranchers.

They source all of their high-quality beef and chicken from local farms and ranches.

And for every box ordered, Good Ranchers donates donates 10 meals to Americans in need.

It's over a million meals so far.

So you can do good while you eat good.

Apparently, the cost of your Thanksgiving dinner is down 4.5% this year.

Hmm.

Now, it's still

25% higher than when Trump was in office, but don't worry about that.

It's down from last year's all-time record-breaking high.

So we got that going for us anyway.

Is that something we're supposed to be excited about?

Yes, you're supposed to make sure.

And you're supposed to vote for Joe Biden as a result of it.

But a 16-pound turkey would be $1.71 per pound.

That's down 5.6% from last year.

A 14-ounce bag of cubed stuffing mix

would cost you $377.

That's down 2.8%.

Two frozen pie crusts, 350, down 4.9%.

A half pint of whipping cream, down 22.8%.

Wow.

Haven't noticed that.

Where is that happening?

What is it, whipping cream?

Whipping cream.

Because this is something maybe that's central to your life more than others as you own a cookie company, Kexie Cookies.

Kexi.com, by the way.

Delicious.

By the way,

on Black Friday, this Friday, you save 25%.

Friday and Monday.

Really?

Yeah.

At Kexie.com.

You got to load up.

That's big.

25%.

Okay, so.

Our biggest sale ever.

Okay, so definitely do that.

But I would assume the heavy cream that goes into some of the recipes is

substantial.

Yeah, it is substantial.

Yeah.

Let's see.

We don't use frozen peas, though, in our cookies.

None?

Never?

Never.

Are you committing to never doing that?

I am.

Okay.

I'm going to go out on a limb there.

Fresh peas in the Kexie cookies.

But

never frozen peas.

It's always fresh, never frozen peas.

Down 1.1%.

A dozen dinner rolls up

almost 3%, 2.9%.

Miscellaneous ingredients to prepare the meal, 395.

Now,

that's down 4.4%.

That would include, I would think, things like butter, which are way up, way up.

Yeah.

Also, butter is an ingredient in a Kexi cookie.

I'm probably surprised that.

It was the butter there?

Yeah, butter.

I've never tasted the butter before.

Wow.

30-ounce can of pumpkin pie mix up 3.7%.

A gallon of whole milk down 2.6%.

Wait, can we go back to pumpkin pie mix for a second?

This is one of the things that I think is fascinating about the

future of Joe Biden as a presidential candidate and why it's so hard, why his approval is so low, why it's so difficult for him to win, even though inflation has come down, as we're told by the media and economists all the time.

Why are people not reacting positively?

What was the difference difference in the pumpkin pie mix uh it was up 3.7 up 3.7 now that's you know that doesn't seem that seems like a normal thing however compared to 2019 it's up 34

god that's right and people that's why people are pissed yeah because

what everyone loves to hide from you unless you follow this stuff you know even moderately closely is that they this builds on the previous higher prices.

These numbers they are saying are compared to the price you were already pissed off about.

So if instead of it going up by 10%, it's only going up by 3%,

economists might say, okay, well, it's coming back under control.

And

there's some reason

why they measure that.

It's not a crazy thing to measure.

But when you're talking about an individual person, if you're pissed off at $20 for something, because it used to be 10 and now it costs 22,

you don't say, well, the rate of increase has gone down.

You say it's even more expensive than when I was pissed off about it last year.

And the 2019 comparisons are incredible.

Turkey is

32%.

Pumpkin pie mix up 34%, as I mentioned.

Pie shells up 39%.

Ham up 97%.

My gosh.

Rolls up 54%.

Doubled in price.

Yeah.

Since 2019.

2019.

Rolls up 54%.

Stuffing up 41%.

potatoes up 30%, green beans up 32%.

All of these things are building off of prices that people are already annoyed about.

So when they go up only slightly more, or even in this case, go down slightly, as this will be only the second most expensive Thanksgiving in our history.

This is what Joe Biden runs on.

Incredible.

I'm slightly better than the worst of all time.

By the way, I was also responsible for the worst of all time, right?

Elect me again and see how that goes for you.

That should not be a winning proposition right there.

No.

Now, what about your Worthington protein roll?

Loaf?

Loaf.

Worthington's protein loaf?

Worthington protein roof.

Delicious.

Is that up or down?

People.

You know what?

I'd pay any price for Worthington's.

Oh, man.

You pay the price for the best.

Now, Worthington's protein loaf is not turkey.

It simulates turkey in certain ways, and that's why I always love it.

Especially tofu.

Is that right?

I don't think it.

No.

I don't know if it's tofu.

I don't remember what it is.

I mean, again, I don't ask questions it's misconception when you're eating Worthingtons you've had it though it's not bad it's not bad it's actually it's really not bad we Pat was did like a

what was the name of that show Joe Rogan used to host Fear Factor it was like that moment for you you had to have some vegetarian meat product Worthingtons and it was a it's not okay it's actually not terrible but I will say you know Thanksgiving the turkey

Who is the who is turkey the highlight of Thanksgiving for?

Is there a person?

It's certainly not the turkey.

We know that.

It's not their highlight.

No, it's not.

But like, I don't know.

Does anyone really like look at the turkey other than the guy?

I can't wait to get to that turkey.

The guy in Christmas Story.

I think that's it.

The dad in Christmas

Christmas Story is the only guy I feel like really, and that was about Christmas, obviously, not Thanksgiving.

But he loved the turkey, as we all can remember from the movie.

Other than that, I feel like turkey's like the eighth place thing on the plate.

Right.

Yeah.

He got stuffing.

He got mashed potatoes.

If you're a believer in mac and cheese, as I am, in a big way,

who isn't?

Some people are like, that's not a Thanksgiving food.

I think it is.

I think it's central.

I agree.

That's a huge one.

The dinner rolls.

Oh, yeah.

A must.

Cranberry sauce.

A must.

I'm a cranberry sauce guy above the turkey.

Although I used to really enjoy the

cranberry sauce on the turkey, it makes it more edible.

I think, too, you put the,

and then you put it on a sandwich later, like the next day.

That is the key.

That's when.

That's when it's

when it's really good.

Put a little stuffing on there.

You can put a little mayo

on there, too, on a sandwich on white bread.

Yeah.

On the whitest white bread possible.

Like the like, I mean, it's no nutritional value.

No, I don't want one grain.

No.

Don't give me a whole grain.

I don't even want a half grain.

I don't want a nutrients.

Nope.

I don't want any grains.

Absolutely not.

I want it to be squishy, and I want it to look exactly the same 12 years from now, if I forget about it in my cabinet that it did today.

Yep.

That's what I want out of that sandwich.

Me too.

And I'm going to be proud for

to eat it.

But that is, and then, of course, you have the desserts.

Yeah.

And all of those are going to rank over the turkey.

And apparently, all this adds up to about $61.20 for Thanksgiving.

But then, as you mentioned, when you throw in the boneless ham, the russet potatoes, and frozen green beans,

if you do that, and many, many people do, then you add another $23.58 for a grand total of $84.75 on average.

$84.75 for turkey dinner.

So, turkey and ham.

That's a lot.

Yeah, that's a lot.

That is a lot.

This is the same thing, though, they're doing with the gas prices.

Well, it's not $5 a gallon anymore.

Yeah.

You should thank us.

Yeah.

Because you're welcome.

Well, no, it's still about $2 a gallon higher than it was when you took office.

So, how is this a bargain for me?

It isn't.

It's like someone who brings you into a torture chamber and turns up all the dials and puts needles into you and does all these horrible things out of a saw sequel.

And then the next day says, actually, the torture is down 3.7% today.

So you should feel pretty good about that.

Like, I don't feel good about it at all.

In fact, in reality, what they say is we've only increased it 3.7% today, the torture.

So you should feel good about that.

You know, Carol Roth was on my show, Studios America, by the way.

You can get on YouTube or Blaze TV, party for membership.

And she was explaining this process as well.

And she was talking about it in terms of weight, which I thought was instructive.

Like, if you gain 10 pounds in a year and you go into your doctor, your doctor says, you can't keep doing this.

You got to really change things.

And then you go in the year after that and you say, well, I only gained 3.7 this year.

So wait, so you've gained 13.7 now overall?

Yeah, but my rate of increase is down.

No doctor is going to be excited for you.

That's not how that works.

And that's what they're trying to sell us on.

That's what they're trying to sell us on.

Re-elect me.

I only gained 3.7 pounds this year.

It's like, well, no, wait.

This is a problem.

Your weight's going up.

You're already unhealthy.

And you continue to do the things that cause weight gain.

Like, for example, printing money or, you know, eating extra calories, right?

You're doing, you're going to Taco Bell 16 times a day, and that's going to probably lead to future weight gain.

I've been told, though,

as we talked about scientific consensus, who knows if that's true?

I mean, in reality, maybe Taco Bell makes you lose weight.

I don't know.

We're going to test that philosophy.

I'm going to test it for the next 20, 30 years and see how that works out because I want to make sure the consensus is accurate on that particular item.

But I will say, like,

you can understand why people don't fall for it.

And it is encouraging to see we are not in a country where the media can say anything and people will believe it.

A lot of things they will.

And this is a problem in our country.

It happens too often.

But like with something like this, it doesn't matter how many times the media says the economy is good.

People don't believe them.

And that's important because you can't trick people who are seeing that their budget is suffering now as opposed to what was happening under Trump.

Yeah.

And you can tell them all the time, you're doing better than that.

You're doing way better than you were.

Trump was at the bad time.

And we know our finances better than the Biden administration.

Yeah.

And we know we're not doing as well.

So, yeah, yeah, it's a tough sell.

And they're still trying to sell it, but it is tough.

And

I don't know if you feel this way, Pat.

And I'm generally an optimist

on economic issues long term with the exception of the spending stuff.

But like, when you look at this, I still don't feel like we've paid the full price for what happened during COVID.

Yeah.

I don't feel that we've paid the full price of what has gone on with our spending.

All these things are bubbling and they've been bad, but they have not been catastrophic yet

in comparison to what I thought was going to happen.

Like, I mean, you shut down an economy for three, six months, you know, depending on where you live.

It could even be longer than that.

Would you even have thought before COVID that that was something you could recover from?

No, I would think you can't just turn it off.

What are you talking about?

And like, while it's been bad and we've seen a lot of bad results, there's no downplaying them.

It was a really, really rough period.

I don't think that 7% mortgage rates are the end of that story.

That's bad.

It sucks if you've got a 7%, 8%, 9% mortgage right now.

You can't buy a home because of how high the rates are.

You realize

we're paying more and more for all of these goods and all these problems that we've had.

But

I think there's still more to come when it comes to a downside of the economy.

And we've been kind of on this verge of recession for multiple years now.

We dipped into the traditional definition of it for a while, but it didn't last for a super long time when it came to growth numbers.

But I do feel like we have to look forward and prepare ourselves for what could be coming.

Yeah, well, you look at a country like Argentina, who just elected an outsider, supposedly a libertarian outsider, Javier Malay.

Yeah.

Fascinating story.

Who won in Argentina by quite a bit.

He won by 12%.

Why?

Their inflation is 140%.

Good God.

140% inflation.

So.

Have you seen this video of him where he goes up to a whiteboard and they have on the whiteboard all the agencies?

And he goes, what am I going to do?

The Department of Sports and whatever.

They have all these dumb departments.

He's like, he's just ripping off.

He's like, gone.

He goes to the next department of cultural ministry, gone.

And just keep taking, just throwing them off the board over and over again.

It's a fantastic video.

Now, again, will he do these things?

Who knows?

A lot of people say very interesting things.

He's about the most, he describes himself as an anarcho-capitalist, which is about as far as you go on the libertarians

side of things.

And I think, look, Argentina could really use a dose of that.

It would be interesting to see how much of that he could actually get done.

You know, of course, as with every foreign leader, they're not perfect, but

he's encouraging a really good

leaders always are.

Yeah, oh, yeah.

Well, Joe Biden.

Totally perfect.

Perfect.

More coming coming up in a minute.

All right, the holidays have arrived, and it's hard to think of a better gift you could give someone or yourself than feeling good again.

Who's the person in your life that has been living with pain for a long time?

I mean, is it you?

If it's you, I mean, honestly, whoever it is,

think about what they might be searching for.

Probably the thing that can actually help them feel better again.

Have they tried everything?

Have they tried relief factor?

Maybe it's time to try something new, something that's helped someone that they know.

Pretty, pretty, I mean, if they listen to this show, they know them pretty well.

Our own Glenn Beck, he's used Relief Factor for years.

It's worked for him.

It's worked for thousands of others in our audience.

It's Pat and Stew today for Glenn.

Just a couple days away from Thanksgiving.

And fortunately, you're going to pay almost nothing for your Thanksgiving dinner.

It's gone down 4.5% from last year.

So everything's fine now.

Don't worry about it.

Immigration situation taken care of.

The border security.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

I hadn't heard that.

Yeah.

I heard it was the highest it had been in how long?

As far as

ever.

Yeah.

As far as border crossings go and apprehensions.

But there's only been 10 million since Biden took over.

10 million illegal crossings.

But it's not 100 million.

It could be a billion.

Right.

How many people are in the world?

7 billion.

There's 8 billion now.

A little over 8 billion.

So it could be 8 billion people coming into the country.

And instead of it's just

10 million.

This is nothing.

Not very many.

So, yeah, everything's fine.

Need to re-elect this guy.

And today, you know, again, his birthday.

He's just 81.

So by the time his second term would end,

he'd only be 86.

All they have is,

don't you remember how bad some of those tweets were from the other guy, though?

Like, that is really all they have.

Oh, that's right.

You know, hey, remember January 6th?

Like that's like legitimately all they have.

I wouldn't look in this country at this time, would I be shocked if it works?

No, would not be.

Would not be shocked.

But

they have no real case here.

They don't.

Nope.

It's Batten Stu for Glenn today.

Interesting question being posed by a person in what magazine was it?

Website?

Compact.

Compact.

Okay.

It actually wasn't even a question.

His thing is, forget about the founding fathers.

Why are we even bothering with what they would think?

Are they annoying right now?

They're annoying.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's kind of a making you toe the line on this constitution that's lasted longer than any constitution in the history of mankind.

Why would you even bother with it?

Yes.

Why?

There you go.

So

we'll look into that and try to figure out why we are still following these people who've been long dead.

Coming up in just a minute.

Tunnel Twins is having their biggest Black Friday deal ever with their books and bundles and some very special one-time bonuses you're not going to see again.

These books are an absolute must.

Our team reads them with their kids, and I do as well.

My daughter Ainsley loves them.

And we read them often before bed because they not only are books that I know aren't going to have woke nonsense in them, but they also teach foundational lessons that are really important for them to understand and understand early in life.

I mean, everything from inflation to the economy to starting a small business, there's a million things.

And they're hidden in these, like,

interesting stories.

So kids actually want to read them.

We can learn, you know, from the right voices, or we can learn from the wrong ones.

And we know what our schools are doing right now.

So if you want to instill true principles of the founding of our nation into your kids, to have them look up to the heroes that built our country, to be empowered, self-motivated, and to think critically, you need the Tuttle Twins books.

I mean, the story we're we're about to go into is going to give you the ultimate case for the Tuttle Twins books.

We just forget our founders.

Why should we learn anything about them?

Why should we understand what they thought and why they thought it?

That's not what I want in my kids, and honestly, I doubt that you want it as well.

These aren't lessons found in schools.

If you want to

have your kids that cherish and defend our nation's core values, these books are key.

They're the antidote to everything you're getting in school, wokeism, and Marxism and all the garbage they get online.

Tuttle Twins has two phenomenal bundles this week only.

Go to tuttletwinsbeck.com.

Get the Black Friday deal they got going on right now.

Great gift for any kid in your life.

It is TuttleTwinsbeck.com.

Why bother with the American Founding Fathers?

Yeah.

I mean, what do they know?

What did they know?

Yes.

Thank you.

Right?

Let's go through this because this is interesting.

The title of the story is Forget the Founding Fathers.

It's in Compact Magazine and is by Michael Lind.

Now,

Michael Lind sounded familiar to me, but I couldn't remember all the details.

So let me give you this write-up just so you know his background.

Michael Lind's ideological stance has evolved over time.

He's been associated with various political perspectives.

Initially, he was considered a neoconservative, particularly in the context of New Deal liberalism.

However, Lind has also been critical of the American right and

as seen in his books like Up from Conservatism, Why the Right is Wrong for America.

His work and views have often defied easy categorization.

So, you know, not necessarily a hardcore leftist, had some conservative parts in his life, sort of,

but

I'm just fascinated by the take here.

Here it is.

Let me give this to you, Pat, because this, I thought, I read this story, and I was like, this column, and I was like, this is, this is for, made for Pat Gray.

This is

like right in your wheelhouse.

What would the founding fathers think of today's America?

How would they advise us to address the great domestic and foreign challenges of our time?

Would they be proud of contemporary Americans for preserving their handiwork?

Or would they despair of what has become of the United States in the 21st century?

Despair.

Well, that's not what he has is the answer.

He says, the answer to all of these questions is the same.

Who cares?

Jeez.

Seriously, who cares what James Madison would have thought about internet regulation?

Who cares what Thomas Jefferson might have said about the war in Ukraine?

The cult of the American founding.

Wow.

What a sentence.

The cult of the American founding has no parallels in other English-speaking democracies.

A British prime minister who declared that the 21st century Britain must turn for guidance to Horace Walpole or Pitt the Younger would be considered daft.

Most Australians would be hard-pressed to name more than the smallest handful of the founders.

Ironically, some of the American founding fathers themselves seem to have foreseen the future cult devoted to their veneration.

In 1790, John Adams complained in a letter to Benjamin Rush: The history of our revolution will be one continued lie from one end to the other.

The essence of the whole will be that Dr.

Franklin's electrical rod smote the earth and outsprung George Washington.

At least that would be more interesting than the present version of an American political ancestor worship in which the founders, like a cloud of ghosts, hover over our shoulders, smiling in approval or shuddering in disgust.

What a view of where we are in our country.

And I don't think anyone,

I certainly don't, look at our founders as gods.

I don't look at them as perfect.

What I look at, one of the things I

certainly inspired,

inspired by God, yes,

very wise, very inspired.

And for all 56 of them to come together at the same time was

an amazing, well, it's a miracle.

It's a miracle.

Some of the smartest, best men to exist on the planet ever,

all together at the same time when we needed it.

And there's a reason that our Constitution has lasted.

as long as it has when others have crumbled over and over and over and over.

How many constitutions has Russia and the Soviet Union had in the same time period?

I mean, dozens.

Yes.

And that's

sort of his point, although he seems to make it in a negative way, right?

Like that, well, everyone else has had lots of new ideas.

Yeah, that's not good.

No, that's not good.

Stability is good.

Yeah, stability is really good, especially when it is

liberty and stability.

for the most part.

Yeah.

I mean, it's only when we go away from their founding principles that we lose our liberty.

Right.

I think that's true.

If we stuck to them, we wouldn't we would not lose them.

And again, like, look at the results of this.

I think, you know, part of the proof is in the pudding, right?

I think you could make the argument that certainly there are plenty of countries that have founders that suck.

Yes.

And maybe that's why they don't look up to them.

Maybe.

Right.

But like, the ideas that founded this country are really positive, and they've led to America being the world's greatest superpower for how many years now?

A long time.

He brought up Australia.

Why would you know you're the founders of the penal colony?

Why would you know that?

You wouldn't.

Right.

That's not.

You wouldn't.

No, it's not Canada.

He brings up Canada as well.

I mean, I'm just skipping around a little bit, but he brings up Canada.

It's like, I don't know.

I mean, we've talked to people

who have shown some reverence for certain figures in Canadian history.

There's not that there's none, but like,

you know, that's, we started something new that changed the world.

It's not just even America.

These founders changed the way humans were governed and said to them, hey, maybe you should be the one with some power rather than everybody else.

And I guarantee you could find a million things from this guy and other others that would agree with him on the founders that will find all sorts of things that they do agree with on the founders and revere them for, right?

Democracy.

Democracy.

Now, of course, we are not a democracy, as we are careful to point out, a constitutional republic.

However, you know, there are elements of democracy within our republic that are important.

And the left always tells us how much they revere them while they're trying to get candidates banned off of ballots.

But

they certainly act like they revere them in those times.

And look,

it's not that you just have to revere your founders no matter who they are or what they did.

You revere the good things about them and the ideas that changed the world.

And I think I maintain one of the most central things the founders figured out that almost no one else did,

which makes them incredible people and makes them better than every politician we have today is they understood human fallibility.

They understood that humans were not perfect.

We were never going to come up with a person who was going to be able to centrally manage the economy.

They all realized that they would have different motivations and different problems, including themselves.

They recognized the weakness in themselves and their own characters and designed a system where that wouldn't be a factor.

You didn't need a perfect person to run the system.

You didn't even need competent people.

Look at the president we have now.

We're somehow still in existence with a guy who can't get through three straight sentences.

Right?

Yeah.

They designed a system that honestly, if you just keep your hands off of it, will run so incredibly well that you will,

by default,

be a world leader.

By default, be the greatest country that has ever been imagined.

Even if you don't do it right, even if you put in rules that screw it up from time to time,

it's still better than everywhere else.

Yeah.

That's why they're revered.

And they're revered by other countries around the world as well, and by leaders

of other countries around the world.

In fact, you know, he makes the point that they're not worried about their founders.

Well, yeah, because they really

look to ours and they look to America.

At least they had until, you know, recently when

we've kind of betrayed everything they ever stood for.

And so

they're not as apt to look to America for the guidance and for the leadership because they're just not getting it anymore.

We've got people who are so different from our founding fathers that

America's not revered as it once was

at the present time.

That's really changed recently as we've started to implement ideas that were farther from the founders.

I mean, there's no, that's not a coincidence.

It's central to the problems we've had.

The farther we get away from those ideas and principles, not even like not every, obviously there's a lot of policy.

They talked a heck of a lot about land usage.

You know, they talked a heck of a lot about ownership and agriculture and things that like, well, agriculture obviously is still a vital part of what we do here in America.

It's not as central to the economy as it once was.

Of course, there are changes, but those principles guide the changes.

And when they stop guiding the changes, you get what we have now.

You get all of the problems that we have have today.

It all comes from us abandoning those principles.

And that doesn't mean that we just blindly sit back and say, okay, we're going to follow everything that they ever did and we're never going to change.

But I mean, central to what they did was the opportunity to adjust with constitutional amendments that would change.

the country as the nation developed.

They built that in because, again, they recognized their own fallibility.

They realized they didn't have every perfect answer.

No one's saying they do.

But there's a process involved for when these things should change.

And if you don't change it the right way, if you don't go through that process the right way and you just abandon these principles, you see weakness.

And that's what we're seeing now.

Yeah,

it's amazing that this guy just said the quiet part out loud.

You know, there's a lot of left-wing people,

politicians, journalists, media types who feel the same way and just want just want to tell everybody, forget about the founders.

There's no reason to follow them anymore.

They just don't say it.

They don't say it outright.

And he is.

He's saying the quiet part here.

I'll bet you there's a lot of left-wing people who feel the same way.

Oh, totally.

Totally.

Look, Woodrow Wilson felt the same way.

Yeah.

You can go back.

There's been plenty of people who have been in power in this country and have felt the same way.

He thought the Declaration of Independence was a joke.

What do we care about that?

That happened a long time ago.

He wanted people to basically stop teaching it.

you know, and he kind of got that accomplished finally.

I mean, it seems to be, yeah, it took a while, but

I don't think it's taught much in schools anymore.

It's Pat and Stu for Glenn today.

Stu was just lamenting the fact that the Eagles are probably going to get beat by the Kansas City Chiefs tonight.

I'm not forfeiting the game for the Americas' team, the Philadelphia Eagles.

Americans.

But I will say, Andy Reid off of a bye week.

Yeah, that's tough.

Yeah, you've got to be tough.

It's a tough proposition.

Andy Reid just passed up Tom Landry, a legend on the all-time winning

list.

He just got his 254th win to Tom Landry's 250th.

So, like four games ago, he passed it.

Three games ago, he passed it.

Great coach.

Great coach.

He's won 64% of his games.

Not too many better.

Don Schula won 67% and 328 overall.

George Hallis, 318 overall, 68%.

And then Bill Belichick, who's apparently about to get fired.

I can't imagine.

Is that amazing?

It's hard to believe.

Wow.

It does show, though, that maybe it was Tom Brady more than Bill Belichick.

Certainly as a general manager, I don't think Belichick has held up

real well the last few years.

Yeah, he's still, I think, a great

coach.

The question is whether he's still into it as much as he once was, right?

Like,

is he living or dying with every single

what is he?

Close to 70?

He's got to be, right?

I think he is.

So, yeah, he's getting up there a little bit.

And by the way, you said 68% was the best out of that group?

Yeah.

Just want to point out Nick Siriani, 72%.

Nick Siriani.

Head coach, Philadelphia Eagles.

Okay.

31 and 12.

Is he really?

31 and 12 in his career, yes.

Okay, he's got a ways to go.

It's a good start.

I didn't notice that.

It's a healthy start to the season or his career, that's for sure.

Yeah, it's a big game tonight, Pat.

Monday night football, Philadelphia Eagles at the Kansas City Chiefs in Kansas City with Andy Reid off a bye week.

I remember when he was the Eagles coach, they never lost off of bye weeks.

He was always very well prepared for those games.

So it's going to be a tough task, but I hope the Eagles are up to it.

If not, I will be miserable tomorrow when you hear us on the show, and I'll act like my anger is probably targeted at Joe Biden or Gavin Newsome or whoever else really knows.

It's really just frustration over the Eagles losing, which I hope doesn't happen, but I am afraid may.

It's a tough schedule for the Eagles.

They've go through a bunch of really difficult games here and can come back to the pack very quickly, although they do have the best record in the National Football League.

What is the record now?

8-1.

Oh, wow.

Yeah.

And their one loss was to Zach Wilson of the New York Jets, which makes no freaking.

It makes total sense.

It makes total sense.

No, it does not.

To one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL?

Yeah.

Is he?

Which is the NFL stand for something else in this particular analogy?

Of course, you are a big BYU fan.

Yes.

And Zach Wilson.

Which is from whence Andy Reid comes as well.

Andy Reid, yeah.

They had a very close loss over the weekend.

How do you feel about that?

I was torn to shreds over it.

So cool.

Because they had a chance.

They had multiple chances.

They won that game against Oklahoma.

And

the last three weeks, they hadn't been playing

well at all, and they got destroyed.

And then all of a sudden, for some reason, they showed up on Saturday, almost won it, and just a couple of bad turnovers at the wrong time.

messed it up for them.

It is amazing how central football is to the American culture.

Like,

Thursday really is a day of getting together.

Sure, there's giving things.

Giving sang.

Sure, there's family.

But let's be honest about it.

Those are the things that

come on and all that stuff kind of turns off for a while.

And you're watching, you know, many times, which has been...

But the family can join me while I watch if they want.

Yeah, they can.

They shouldn't talk to you.

No.

No, please don't.

No, no.

Please don't speak.

The talking was at the dinner table.

Yeah.

Now, shut up.

Let's watch some football.

We're here.

The football is off.

And this goes back to when, you know, the Detroit Lions were, and they're very good this year.

And I mean, the Bears blew a ridiculous game against them this past weekend.

But there have been eras where the Lions were horrible.

They finished like

3-13, and everyone's crowded around that TV to watch the Detroit Lions that one time every year because they're on every year.

And then, of course, the awful Cowboys, who everyone hates.

But I don't think that's quite true.

It should be true.

I'll tell you that much.

But they'll be on again.

We'll have to suffer through another Cowboys game.

And then you've got the Lions and a third game at night, which is a good one.

It's the Seattle and I can't remember.

Is it Seattle, San Francisco?

It's a good game.

Yeah, Seattle, San Francisco on night.

And then for the first time ever, a Black Friday game, which I remember, I'm old enough to remember what everyone was like, I can't believe they opened these stores on Black Friday.

Oh,

this should be a time for family.

And everyone's like, wait a minute, but I don't like my family enough for one day.

I have to spend two days with them.

I have to spend Black Friday with them too.

And, you know, what about the people who like going out shopping together?

Like my grandma and my aunt, every Black Friday used to go out.

And that was like a big part of their relationship.

They loved doing it.

Yeah,

we used to do that.

Get up at four in the morning and go shopping by five, and you're at the stores at 5.30, right when they open.

Yeah.

You don't really need to, almost nobody bothers with that.

Now it's all online, obviously.

Yeah, and and but that's okay.

Like what's fascinating about this like the people who are in the warehouses shipping all the products that are bought on Black Friday, that's fine.

We're allowed to be okay with that.

Yeah, and we we don't care about the hourly worker who can make double their pay for a day.

We don't care about them.

Oh, they they should be spending time with their family.

And they're like, wait a minute, this I can make more money today than I can make on any other day of the year.

Why are you taking that away from me?

And we say to them, well, you should be spending time with your family.

We make your decisions for you.

I hate that.

Let people do what they want to do.

If you want to, look, if you don't want to work on Black Friday, you know, you don't have to work on Black Friday.

You can find a job where you don't have to work on Black Friday, I guess.

But, like, at the end of the day, what I found from most hourly employees are like, you know what?

Honestly, I'd rather work on those days because I'm going to make more money, make time and a half or double time in a lot of cases.

And, you know, my family sucks.

So

that's what I hear from hourly employees all the time.

Glenn Beck.

Avoiding the woke mainstream messaging in favor of truth.

More Glenn Beck in a moment.

It is Patents Due on the Glenn Beck program.

It looks like Mike in Georgia has a response to our guy who suggests we forget about what the founding fathers had to say.

It's nonsense, and other countries don't worry about it.

Hey, Mike, you're on the Glenn Beck program with Patents Due.

Yeah, yes, my wife is English, and I asked her a question a few days ago about history and how they studied history in school.

And I said, did you guys learn about the American Revolution?

And she looked at me like my hair was on fire.

So the answer was no.

No.

She said, no, why would we do that?

I said, well, wasn't it part of your history?

Well,

we were learning about kings and queens.

Uh-huh.

All right.

I mean, that's somewhat understandable from their perspective.

They're embarrassed.

In some ways, it was not

part of their history.

They got beat beat up pretty badly in that one.

Yeah, they got their anus kicked by a bunch of farmers.

And they probably don't want to talk about that a lot.

That's not normally the way it's put in history books,

to be clear.

But yes, that's basically what happened.

I will say, though, you know, it's funny, you look at a lot of the leading,

you know, conservative, a lot of conservative intellectuals come from Britain.

Yes.

And that's often because John Locke.

Yeah.

Well, I mean, going, I was going to say current ones, because you go back and they look at the history, where the American movement really came from.

And of course, Bray Britain's a huge piece of that puzzle.

And Locke is, yes.

I mean, if you're going to talk about someone who's directly responsible for what happened here, I mean, Locke is one of those guys

that you have to mention.

It's a big influence.

Yeah.

So Magna Carta, a big influence.

Sure.

So.

So, you know, you can see why maybe there'd be an attraction there.

However,

it's interesting to see that because I don't know that we would find an ability to have reverence for another country who defeated us in a war and their founders.

Like, that would not be.

I don't know.

I can't think of any example necessarily where.

Because it's never happened to us.

So maybe that's why.

Maybe that.

But you think of it's why.

It has happened to them twice from us.

If it happened to us.

You're welcome.

You're really helping

our closest relationship on the global scale today.

But if it did happen to us, I don't think we'd be like, you know who I really like are the founders of that country that kicked our ass.

Like, I don't think that would be what we would say.

Probably not.

It probably would not be central to our people.

Think of them

who do revere our founders and our founding principles.

I wish you could find some people in America who revered them because it feels like

a lot of people.

Oh, man.

It's not taught.

And more than that, I think the opposite of being proud of America is taught in schools a lot.

Yeah.

And it's made a big impact on millennials because they, you know, they think that this is a bad country and they focus on slavery and they focus on the foibles of this and the things that we had to overcome and are still trying to overcome.

Whereas what other country on earth does that?

What other country focuses on their mistakes and teaches their mistakes?

Very few.

If any.

Yeah.

I mean,

I can't imagine it, really.

You do see, I think, similar things that happen with Israel occasionally.

You know,

certain allies.

of the United States will do this, but not often enough.

And I think you look at, this is something we talked about a little bit last week when it comes to the Osama bin letter, bin Laden letter going viral on TikTok.

And it's like, that's only possible in a country where the education system has told them over and over again, actually, this is a bad country.

So you have that basis, right?

You have that foundation that says, hey, you live in a bad country.

You are, the American people are a bad people.

They're not exceptional other than the fact that they're exceptionally bad.

And if you have a situation where they already kind of believe that as a foundational part of their education,

they can be won over even by the words of a madman.

And that's, of course, who Osama bin Laden was.

And they proved that positively last week.

So good for them.

That's great.

It really is.

It's incredible.

It is.

I don't know what, like, there are certain things you can try to do something about, right?

If you've lost a person to the bin Laden letter, you're never winning them over with coherent thought.

That's not going to happen.

You know, you might as well give up on those those people and go for people that are actually engaged with their minds.

But it is fascinating that anyone could fall for that.

And this is, this is a man who

brutally murdered a bunch of innocent people for no reason.

Yeah.

And you're like, well, it's not no reason.

He wrote that letter.

I read the letter.

Did they?

I bet they didn't.

It's 3,840 words.

My guess is no chance they actually read the letter.

And especially when you kind of look at like,

there's a line near the end that we didn't even talk about the other day that it says something to the effect of, we desire death more than you desire life.

That is what bin Laden said to America.

And it's like, these people going on TikTok, did they read that line?

Are they, oh, wow, I was won over by the fact that he likes death more than we like life.

Really?

Okay.

Then you're a lost cause.

Okay.

Can't help you.

No, you can't.

It can't be helped.

And

first of all, it's likely they didn't even read the letter because I will say it was written, it was not like a, it was not designed, it was designed for the American people, but it was not designed for people who watch the Kardashians.

It is a

bunch of, you know, it's subsections and, you know, arguments that you need to have some historical knowledge of.

And

this is not like designed for people who are on TikTok all day.

Okay.

But I will say that like when you read it, there are places where it's blatant anti-Semitism.

It's obviously blatant anti-Americanism.

It's blatant anti-capitalist.

Again, it's someone who's on

even a capitalist enterprise run by the Chinese government would understand that there are some benefits to capitalism, I would think.

The fact that you're even accessing this information at all is capitalism at work.

And again, like, not everything that comes out of capitalism is always super desirable, but it is still the best system that we have.

And then you go to the end of it, like, I mean,

someone described this, I can't remember who it was, but described it accurately, I think.

That line of we desire death more than you desire life is

a death cult.

It's something a death cult would say.

Someone who is drinking Kool-Aid in

some African desert is going to say, hey, we desire death more than we desire life.

And that's what the movement that all of a sudden Americans are falling in love with, that was at their core.

It's the same thing that was at with Hamas.

You know, you look at Hamas and you see how they are celebrating the deaths of Jews.

That is a death cult.

Nothing short of a death cult.

And we can get this at times overblown, right?

Where like you see something trending on TikTok and you're like, gosh, we are being lost.

I did see a more scientific poll, which was a little inspiring.

I mean, slightly more inspiring

than

Osama bin Laden trending on TikTok,

that went over the approval rating of some of these groups.

And it goes through the typical groups, and you try to which organizations are popular, which candidates are popular.

And

you think,

they're all right around where you expect them to be.

Where would you think Hamas was in the United States?

If you had to say, what is a Hamas approval rating in the United States?

Wow.

Jeez.

I shuddered to think, but

based on what happened with TikTok,

I'm going to say 35%.

35%.

35%.

Now, that's, I will say, somewhat close to what I would have probably guessed before seeing the poll.

And so I was inspired

by the result.

The approval rating for Hamas in the United States, 1%.

1.

Wow.

Really?

Negative 81.

So a minus 80.

Wow.

So that is a a bit inspiring.

Now, of course, that does have 20% who don't have their mind up or don't know enough about Hamas, which is a little depressing.

But this is an NBC poll, by the way.

Now, again, I wouldn't say that you could lock in 1% from an NBC poll, but you could probably guess it's certainly beneath 10, which is better than I would have thought, honestly, after watching.

So maybe we are at times emphasizing the worst elements of our society a little more than we should.

I'm willing to take

some

responsibility for occasionally doing that.

Let me give you all these results.

Some of them are pretty interesting.

Israel, 47% positive, 24% negative.

The rest in the middle somewhere.

That's a plus 23 for Israel.

Ukraine

is plus 21, slightly behind them.

45% positive, 24% negative.

I bring that one up.

I think it's interesting because it's pretty similar to Israel.

And I think, again, it highlights...

That's too high.

It highlights.

I think that is too high.

It should not be as positive as Israel.

It's a corrupt nation.

Very corrupt nation.

Again, I think wrongly attacked and

I think have the right to defend themselves.

But

I wouldn't think our view would be as positive.

The reason why I think it's important to bring up is to remember, as conservatives who are really skeptical about helping Ukraine and funding Ukraine and the open checkbook that we seem to have for them and the Biden unending support for as long as it takes, et cetera, et cetera, we have to understand that that issue isn't as toxic for all voters as it is in Republican primaries.

And you see a lot of these candidates coming out.

Viveka is big on this, where he's basically like cut off all funding right now.

And, you know, really, you know, he, I think he said it was a mistake, but kind of referred to Zelensky as a Nazi in the last debate.

That sort of stuff is going to play better in the Republican primary than it is to the general electorate.

And that's just something to remember.

It doesn't mean you change your view, but when you're messaging these things, it's important to remember.

Nikki Haley is 24% positive, 28% negative.

Shows how little people know of Nikki Haley.

A lot of the people in the United States have no opinion on her whatsoever.

However, she's only minus four.

Mike Johnson, new Speaker of the House, is 14% positive, 23% negative.

No one knows who he is,

but he's still

minus 9.

Well, yeah, because he's getting hammered by the Democrats.

That's the only thing they know about it.

That's the only thing you know.

He's watching porn with his son or something, according to the media.

Yeah.

Which is not true, of course.

Donald Trump, 36% positive, 52% negative, minus 16.

What's interesting mainly about that number is the next one.

Again, think of what they say about Donald Trump.

He's Hitler.

He's trying to overthrow the government.

He's the worst guy in the world.

Next guy on the list, Joe Biden, 36% positive, the exact same number.

However, 53% negative, one point worse.

He's a minus 17.

That is incredible.

And this is NBC News telling you this.

A sitting president.

Sitting president.

Minus 17.

Access to the bully bully pulpit who has a

press conference virtually every day where he's, you know, he's got a spokesperson singing his praises every day, telling us how to feel about him every day.

Yeah.

And still 17% underwater.

Wow.

Yeah.

That's amazing.

Amazing.

Palestine.

Now, is this hard to poll because it's not a place?

Yeah.

So how, what should our opinion be about this place that does not actually exist?

But Palestine, 20% positive, 38% negative, a minus 18.

Not exactly

positive news for Ron DeSantis, who comes in slightly below

Palestine.

Oh, no.

How is this possible?

27% positive, 47% negative, a minus 20.

That's incredible.

Worst news.

Why?

I don't know.

I mean, again,

I guess the negative sense of...

I don't understand that.

I think,

here's one theory for you.

Trump voters are not going to respond positively to Ron DeSantis right now.

True.

And the majority of the Republican voters are Trump voters, and he's in a current competition.

So a lot of those voters that would normally love Ron DeSantis and did love him six months ago now are looking at him maybe more negatively.

Did you also see the poll number out of Florida, supposedly, that he's behind by 39 points in Florida?

To Trump?

Yeah.

I mean, it's incredible.

39 points.

Again, look, I think

we talked about this.

I think there's an emotional connection to Trump that you can't overcome.

Yeah, and nobody's going to.

I don't know if anyone is.

Who knows?

A couple more here.

Last place on the politician list is Kamala Harris, 29% positive, 52% negative, and minus 23.

And she goes only, out of all the people polled, the only

thing she's ahead of is Hamas, which was 1% positive and 81% negative.

Congratulations on that.

And Russia,

which was 3% positive, 77% negative.

Oh, they're only

4% before.

Underwater.

That's not bad.

Again, if Kamala was running against Hamas or Russia, she'd probably win.

Other than that, she would lose every single race.

More coming up.

All right, let me tell you about the Tuttle Twins.

What a good hour for Tuttle Twins talk because we've been talking about how the establishment, when it comes to the education and our media, have let our kids down.

They don't teach us.

and our kids the right things anymore.

They're really putting them in a situation where they're lost.

And And how do they come out of that?

What do they look like generations from now?

If you want to install true principles of the founding of our nation to our kids, you got to

connect them to our heroes who built our country, people who were, you know, I don't know.

You got to get them to be empowered.

You got to get them to be self-motivated and to think critically.

You need the Tuttle Twins books.

Trust me, these lessons aren't found in schools, as you absolutely know by now.

And if you want our kids to cherish and defend our nation's core values, these books are honestly really key.

The books are the anecdote to antidote to wokeism and Marxism and the garbage kids learn at school or online.

So, Tuttle Twins has two phenomenal bundles you need to know about.

It's a big Black Friday sale this week only.

Bill Maher

sort of defended Vivek Ramaswamy on his show the other night.

Donna Brazil was

being a little bit racist, and this is according to Bill Maher.

Listen to this, the exchange here on Vivek.

And Vivek needs to just shut the hell up and go home.

I'm fine with you.

Yay, what a great point.

Let's clap.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay.

Shut the hell up.

It's Vivek.

Vivek.

Vivek.

Whatever.

Would you say that about other Donna, I'm Diana.

Vivek?

Is it Vivek?

Ramasama?

It's funny, Mr.

Absinthe.

Ramaswamy.

Thank you so much.

I learn so much when I come on this show.

I know.

Vivek?

Listen to me.

Vivek.

Vivek needs to go home.

Where?

To India?

Is that what you're saying?

I just feel like there's something wrong with everybody refusing to learn to say his name.

Vivek.

I just feel there's a little racism there.

That's amazing to me.

That's something.

I mean,

I do not expect him to point that out.

I would not either.

Look,

is it racism?

I mean,

they would say it is.

If you were mispronouncing Barack Obama's name,

you'd be a racist.

Every time people said Osama by mistake, they called them racist.

And, you know, look, it was one letter off, and the name was both, it was in our consciousness, obviously.

If we were on purpose mispronouncing Donna Brazil's name, that she was offended by that, and she'd say it's racist.

I mean, I think it's more like they don't like him as a candidate and want to find a way to mock him, but still, it's not.

But if you said

home,

they would absolutely assume you're talking about India.

Yep.

Or with Barack Obama, you're talking about Kenya.
