Karl the Elf Hates Children | Guest: Steve Deace | 12/17/21

For a limited time at McDonald's, get a Big Mac extra-value meal for $8.

That means two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun, and medium fries, and a drink.

We may need to change that jingle.

Prices and participation may vary.

So, having our own personal set of values is important, but we have to share them.

We have to get back to some traditions.

We're going to talk about traditions today.

We have to get back to traditions.

And one of those is sitting by the fire.

And I mean, the outside fire, you know, going out and just sitting around the fire, roasting marshmallows and talking about it and talking about life because it gets quiet.

And as the embers are just burning, you start to look up and realize how small you are.

Well,

my fireside would like you to start those traditions.

Here in the south, we can still go out and do it because it's beautiful outside.

But, you know, next summer, if you're up north, our country needs to get back to some of our traditions.

And MiceFireside.com can help you.

It is a beautiful fire pit.

They're solid, durable, heavy-duty stainless steel.

You can see the fire and the embers, which I think is a really important part of it.

And you can also equip it with different stock decorative panels.

You can choose from 1776, God Bless America, Let's Go Brandon, the American flag, whatever.

3% of all sales go to SemperFi and America's Fun.

All right.

Last program before the new year coming up.

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

This

is

the Glenback Program.

Hello, America, and welcome to the program.

I don't know how this happened.

I really don't know how this happened, but I am thrilled to have...

What is...

What is you...

What is your name, sir?

Can we even...

Carl.

Carl.

Carl the Elf is with us today.

And

he's going to give us some of the news from all around.

That's coming up in just a second.

Stand by.

The Glenbeck program.

You there, Carl?

You okay?

Yeah, I'm here.

All right, good.

I want to talk to you a little bit about life.

Life lock.

Nobody can take away

what you are as a person, not even cyber criminals, but they can take away all kinds of stuff, the money you worked hard to earn, the credibility you've worked hard to both

build up your life and your name as a responsible adult.

This is where cyber hacking comes in.

It stinks on ice.

Finding your name, your social security number, I used to think that was a joke.

It is now one of the biggest selling things on the dark web, you know, where you can go and you can contract for murders.

They're also selling a lot of your

ID, and people will go in and they'll buy all the social security numbers.

Then they'll buy banking codes.

Then they'll buy records from hotels or whatever it's been, and they put them all together.

And that's when they have you.

LifeLock knows this.

They watch all of the places, not just

your credit cards.

And if they find any suspicious activity, they work with you to fix it.

No one can prevent all of it, but they're the best in the business.

It's Life Lock by Norton.

Well, it's the holiday.

This is the last broadcast I'll be doing before the holidays.

And, you know, we've usually

that means when we go on vacation, but Pat is here with me.

Hi, Pat.

Hi, Glenn.

Usually that means we screw off and we don't get anything done.

But we are dedicated to you.

And

so none of that's going to be happening.

I wanted to go through some of the news.

And as a surprise guest, is Carl the elf.

Hi, Carl.

Hey, Glenn, how are you?

I'm pretty good.

I'm pretty good.

It's a surprise to have you here in the studio.

I didn't know that you would

make it.

You literally scheduled me to come in here.

I thought elves were all about magic.

Yeah, it's not magic waking me up early for a very long commute.

Okay.

Your commute was long?

Yeah, I've been hours freaking pole hanging.

Yeah, but it was.

Yes, I have it.

But at least it wasn't congested.

Okay, Carl.

I just have to do some news with

Pat, if you just want to join us for this.

Have you heard, Pat, that Joe Biden has warned of a winter of severe illness and death?

Oh, wow.

Okay.

Well, that's Merry Christmas, everybody.

Merry Christmas.

Are you sure that wasn't you?

Is he listening to this show?

Is that what's going on?

President Biden said yesterday that Americans unvaccinated against the coronavirus are facing a winter of severe illness and death, which is, you know, the kind of the fun stuff that you like to hear from the president.

Yeah, it's good that the Republicans are the fear mongers, right?

Right, right.

Carl,

are you vaccinated?

Nah.

You're not?

Nah.

I mean, look, I'm begging for death at this point.

Yeah.

You're begging for death, really.

I'm sorry.

Are you guys slaves to build toys all year?

I am.

I know what that life is like.

I didn't.

I didn't.

It sucks.

Yeah, I didn't think you were slaves.

I mean, you're up there in the North Pole.

You're always...

Seemingly very happy.

Well, I guess you could call it indentured servitude that doesn't end.

There's another way of looking at it if you want to

make the holidays nice and warm.

Okay, all right.

Well,

thank you for chiming in on that.

Here's the next story.

And I hate to bring this to you, you know, so close to Christmas, but the FDA is going to permanently allow abortion pills by mail.

This is coming from the New York Times.

They have lifted all the restrictions that would make the abortion medication more accessible.

19 states have already banned telemedicine visit for abortion pills, and so women are going to have to travel to get their mail, I guess, in other states.

Wasn't that long ago that you couldn't get RU-486 anywhere in the United States of America?

You're going to be able to get them in junior-high vending machines.

Right.

Yes.

They'll have them.

Good.

Excuse me?

Well, I mean, look, the mail, whatever.

Yeah, the post office might be bringing you some abortion pills, pills, but we've been delivering these things for a long time.

I've been hitting up the ladies with abortion pills off with Slay.

I kind of got a backroom sort of dealing operation, if you want to call it that.

I think this is probably not something Santa would.

Why are you for abortion?

I'm a little well, first of all, I'm a little pissed off the post office is cutting into my business, but

I am for abortion for one simple reason.

And I know women's choice is something we can all agree on.

It sounds sarcastic, Carl.

Look, I don't care about women's choice.

What I care about is less toys to build.

The more abortion pills I drop off as a jolly old elf means I got to make less etch sketches.

That's what it means to me.

Right.

You know,

I, look, you know, this is why I don't get disappointed in your COVID recording.

You know, if Frouchie's right,

you know, I've got basically, I'm taking March off, and that's what I'm looking at.

Right.

March and April, I might be off for making toys.

So you, there are too many

people for you.

Too many kids.

Yeah, I mean, how many do we need?

You know, four, four or five, I think, would be, would it be okay?

Per family.

No, total.

Look, how many do we need?

Eventually, if you have five,

maybe one of them, you know, something happens at some point.

So you got four left, and that's enough to propagate the species.

At some point, I believe elves should take over the whole situation anyway.

You know, why, why, you know, you humans, like, you're doing a good job running things?

Have you looked around lately?

Well, but you don't seem like you're carrying a hand.

Well, neither does Joe Biden, but you don't seem to be carrying a happy message, one that we all want to get behind.

What year do you think this is?

It's 2021, Beck.

Right.

It is, we haven't had, it's been non-stop catastrophe for how many years?

Well, but look at what you guys are doing.

You

you full-sizers down there are have been screwing up this planet.

You've got disease spreading all over the place.

Everybody's aborting each other.

I mean, look, everything you've done has

screwed up this world.

And what have we tried to do?

Make it a happy place.

And our efforts of bringing you, you know, little rocking horses isn't working.

Like, you guys.

So you think the little rocking horses used to work.

That's what.

Yeah, at one point, it made it like, you know, you had a decent place to live.

Things were going relatively well.

And we'd bring you, you know, I don't know, some stupid toy to make the kids smile for five minutes.

Now, they're basically going to, you know,

you know, we're teaching them that the color of their skin is the most important thing about.

So wait a minute, wait, wait, wait.

So when was it great here?

I just, I just want to hear because, you know,

you seem to have rose-colored glasses on.

When was it really, really great where everybody had nice houses and

you know, were happy?

You're trying to is this gotcha journalism?

Are you trying to if I say a year, you're gonna tell me the worst thing about that year,

and then that was the thing I was rooting for.

Well, but I mean, when when was that?

I mean, you know, things have been bad for quite some time.

I'll tell you when the good times are.

In the future, when people like you are gone, that's when we'll be sad.

You seem to be

dancing and dancing at the North pole you

seem to be almost uh somebody who likes eugenics

eugenics huh yeah yeah uh that's that's not my thing you're the one that's basically in the nazi party uh i i'm not talking about eugenics i'm just because i mean that's you were talking about giving abortion pills to kids and i mean and you know and and you're remembering things i remember remember kids you know used to have polio and everything else

Yeah, no, that's true.

There was some polio stuff.

We used to root for that.

We were like pro-polio up at the North Pole.

Well, yeah, because, you know, there was a time

when it seemed like, you know, we were not going to be able to get abortion pills through the mail.

Now,

it's a lot easier to wipe these kids out.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

So you were...

Were you behind polio?

I don't want to say behind it.

I mean, I was part of an effort.

To what?

To create polio.

I didn't know that the elves were part of the creation of polio.

When is our vacation?

I know your vacation is coming up after this show.

Yeah.

When is my vacation?

My vacation is nowhere because kids keep coming.

There's more and more of them.

I want none of them anymore.

So if

they're all sticky, their hands have like, they've been like eating a candy cane and then they get the residue on their hands and everything's sticky.

And I just, look, I want a vacation.

And this is the way I can get it.

Have you thought about maybe asking Santa for a vacation as opposed to killing all the kids?

Oh, you mean the guy who's imprisoned me for a thousand years?

All right.

Okay, Carl the Elf.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

I appreciate it.

Carl the elf.

Gosh, it's too bad he can't stay.

Every day, you're out in the road in your car, carrying yourself and all those that you love back and forth all over the place, hundreds of miles, maybe just to the grocery store and back and then to the school and then back.

I don't know how our wives or you as a parent do it.

My wife is in the car all the time.

All the time.

Going from here and there and here and there.

She's never home.

Well, at least it keeps her, you know, out of her, out of her bathrobe and fuzzy slippers, you know, sitting up there watching just General Hospital or whatever else women do these days.

Hard to believe she'd want to be gone all the time.

It's a surprising development.

Anyway, if you have car problems, it is a real problem, especially now.

Cars are so expensive,

never been like this before.

And now, if you have a chip go down, you're in real trouble because I don't know if you're going to be able to get that chip or when you're going to get it.

Do you, can you imagine how much it's going to cost?

If your car goes down and you can't get something right away, how much you're going to spend just on a rental car?

Don't worry about that.

10 seconds, station ID.

Wow, Pat.

I was surprised by that elf.

Seemed a little angry.

Yeah.

Stu, you just

missed him.

He just

left.

walked out of here?

Yeah.

Boy, he was angry.

Jerk.

He stepped on my foot on the way out.

Did he really?

I think it was intentional.

Did he apologize?

No.

No.

Wow.

Acted like he didn't even notice that he did it.

Do you think Santa knows about him?

Maybe we can call Santa a little later

and talk to Santa.

Kids.

Well, maybe kids wouldn't.

Let's just check with Santa before you tell the kids.

whether they should listen.

Anyway,

there's some videos here that I'd like to show you and we'll describe for radio listeners.

By the way, you can watch the podcast at Blazetv.com

and, of course, listen to it live and on demand at Blazetv.com.

But if you're listening to us now, thank you so much for listening.

San Francisco,

they are now...

There's a new holiday tradition, leaving your car trunks and your doors open.

Do we have the video of this?

This is absolutely amazing.

Do we have it?

We see the aftermath of car break-ins all too often.

Windows smashed, glass shattered.

But now some people are getting so fed up, they're leaving their trunks open.

Stop for a second.

Just pause this for a second.

Look at this.

These cars are sitting here with their trunks open, and they're parked on the sides of the street.

just in front of stores.

Yeah, and

they're like hatchbacks.

So you could climb right into the front seat of the car from the back.

Like, it's not like a trunk where you'd be stuck in the back of it.

This isn't hatch PD, yeah, and cars side by side with their with their tailgate, their

hatchbacks, their hatchback open, like if you were gonna load something in because they're saying there's nothing in the car, and if you want to steal it, please just don't like break the glass, right?

Please just come in and steal whatever I have.

I just like this is insane.

We are

we are starting to accept things that are nuts.

Yeah.

This isn't America.

Let's open up some more jails.

And if you think it's just these blue cities, I mean, it's not.

I mean, there was one of these smash and grab things right down the street from where we're sitting, just like two or three days ago.

That's because we're so close to a blue city, though.

No, but I mean, it was, I don't know about that.

Oh, yeah.

Dallas,

our little space right here is really good.

My question was not whether we are close to Dallas.

I am familiar with the geography.

Yeah.

My point is, I mean, it's run by Democrats, too.

No, but what I'm saying is this:

it's coming to other areas.

Like, the more it gets accepted in these blue areas, the more.

I want to go home.

I want to go home.

I want to go home.

Can we click our heels?

Is there anybody with me?

Can we just go back to sane places?

No, I mean, unfortunately, that has been ruled out.

That's good.

That's good.

Leaving your cars and truck and your trunks and your doors open.

Let's listen to the rest of this.

People here at least try to be persuasive, writing, please use the door or just fly out beg.

Please don't break the glass.

Nothing inside.

Yet it still happens.

Sadly, even while you're driving, just waiting for the light to turn on.

Oh my gosh this smash and grab happened two weeks ago in Japantown But now it's come to this trunks left open in broad daylight in Oakland a witness writing imagine having to clean out your car and leaving it open just so people won't break your windows

Wow, no

No, thank you.

No, thank you

That is I mean and please if you live in the San Francisco Bay Area and you don't know what caused this Please don't move to our states don't come don't don't come and move because you're sick of that if you don't know what caused this.

And what caused this?

You.

You and the way you vote, unless you haven't voted for any of this crap.

But if you voted for all of these people that are now doing all of these things, it's your fault.

Now, if you can come, I would like to have like a border station where you have to come and, well, I mean, you know, something that's a little more effective than the one that we have on our southern border.

I would like one on the other three sides of Texas where when you come in, we just go, where are you from?

California.

Uh-huh.

How'd you vote?

I voted for Gavin Newsome.

How do you feel about that?

Well, I mean, it just got so crazy there.

Get out.

Get out.

Yeah.

If you voted for defunding the police, if you voted for decriminalizing theft up to $1,000, if you voted for the people who favor those things and implemented those policies.

bye-bye.

Buh-bye.

And on the other side, if you are somebody who knows how insane this is, we all have to get together.

It's time to move.

It really is.

It really is.

How many more times are you going to be told you're a bastard that wants to kill everybody because you're not wearing a mask?

Move.

It's time to move.

Because here's what happens.

They're doing this in Texas.

They are San Franciscoing Austin and Austin has always been weird, but it is going to become San Francisco.

Houston the same way.

Dallas the same way.

And you know what really, really makes me angry is that these guys come in, these progressives, come in and they take all of the beautiful areas, all of the really great little towns, and then they just wreck them.

They just wreck them.

And they say, well, we're doing it, you know, progress.

We're keeping.

Have you been to Jackson Hole lately, Pat?

No.

Jackson Hole, Wyoming?

Yeah.

No.

I drove through Jackson Hole.

You know, it used to be beautiful, just beautiful.

It is like New York City now.

I drove through on this.

Can I check this statement?

Yeah, yeah.

You can check it out.

Anybody from Jackson Hole.

Anybody from Jackson Hole, tell me what your traffic is like.

Oh, okay.

It is, I was driving through Jackson Hole and it was horrible, horrible,

awful.

They just come and they just wreck all of the cities.

Stay where you are, unless you're somebody that understands the red states.

Then can we start coming together?

Because we really need to, we need to, if we lose Texas, we lose forever.

What is your opinion on, like, let's call it the Dave Rubin

standpoint?

Dave is, of course, here on Blaze TV.

He is leaving California, moving to Florida.

I think there's two ways to look at that, right?

Number one, I know I would do the same thing.

I would absolutely leave there.

But then there's an argument of do you not stay and fight?

No.

You just leave and they get under their control of all these people.

Because they're already starting to just destroy everything.

And then even some of those guys are moving out.

You know, when they really get down to like 25 people that can stand it, one of them is Gavin Newsom, and

the other 25 are Nancy Pelosi and all the people that stock her refrigerator with

ice cream.

When you get there, then we all move to California and we fix it because they'll all be living someplace else and wrecking it.

We'll just go take California back.

But now,

get to safety.

This is the Glenback program.

You know, Patriot Mobile is a sponsor of ours, and I am very, very grateful for their sponsorship.

They've been with us.

How many years have they been with us?

Five years, maybe?

At least, yeah.

They actually started as a way to fight fight back against the progressives.

They know the progressives, they'll go to these companies like Verizon and everything else, and they'll just take them over, and then they'll take a lot of those profits, and the board will vote because they're all progressives, and they'll fund Planned Parenthood and all these other things.

So they said two could play at that game.

The bigger they get, the bigger force they are for good for the First Amendment, Second Amendment, all of the amendments.

PatriotMobile.com, 972 Patriot.

Now, they're on the same cell towers as everybody else, so you get the same great coverage, but you're going to pay a fraction of the money that you pay right now.

And you'll be helping our cause, not hurting it.

We have to stand together.

PatriotMobile.com/slash Beck.

That's patriotmobile.com/slash Beck, or call 972-Patriot.

Switch now.

All right, tonight's tonight: Stew Stew Does America Christmas Party Power Hour.

Don't miss it.

Go to stewdoespowerhour.com.

Welcome to the Glen Beck program.

Merry Christmas.

17 gun firms are fleeing to friendlier states.

Now that's what we're talking about.

That's what we're talking about.

By the way,

Tennessee is getting a name of a place to go and, you know, find shelter in the storm, except it's the place to go for those progressives that are trying to get out of California and I don't think have learned their lesson as the place they want to go.

I'm not, I wouldn't count on Tennessee.

I also wouldn't count on Florida.

Florida is Florida only because it has Ron DeSantis.

Who won the election by 0.4%.

Yeah.

I mean, it's not exactly all.

And he's only allowed two terms.

So in two terms, you could get, you know, Charlie Christ, which, hey, there's protection for you.

One thing we can guarantee, he will be running again because he runs in every available election.

He does.

So, you know, I was singing because I talked to Ron on

Wednesday, and I said to him, so you only have two, you know, you only have two terms.

Yeah.

Have you thought about after your second term moving to Texas and running for governor in Texas?

And you could just keep doing two terms in all of the states until they're fixed.

He said don't count on it, but he would entertain it.

So we got that going for us.

I wouldn't mind that.

I would not mind that.

He's been awesome.

So like

free agent governor.

Yeah.

Like in sports.

I'd be okay with it.

I'm okay with it.

Yes.

That would be an interesting process.

Sign into some fat contract and have him do it again here.

That'd be great.

A four-year, $82 million contract to come be governor of Texas.

Yes.

Texas is drafting Ron DeSantis.

That would be fine.

Except by then he'll be president of the United States.

You think so?

Yeah, it's possible.

I think it's really possible.

If Trump doesn't run, I think it's going to be DeSantis.

A chance that he doesn't run.

He doesn't run.

Yeah.

And you don't have that confirmed, because you did just meet with the guy.

So

are we revealing some news here?

Are we breaking his announcement?

Well,

my producer was there on the side of the interview, Ricky, and she looks at me towards the end and she's like,

follow up, follow up, follow up, follow up, follow up.

And I'm like, I don't know what you're talking about.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Now, is this part of the Hall of Fame induction process when you just miss it?

It is.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And

I listen back to it, and

I didn't miss it.

I don't interpret it the same way.

However, you could interpret it as absolutely he's saying he's going to run.

Because he says towards the end of the interview, he says clearly, well, we're going to take care of that.

I'll just take care of that next time.

Oh, wow.

Okay.

Plus, he said, I think you're going to be happy to people who are fans of his and who want him to run.

And he keeps telling those people who interview him, and I think you're going to be happy about my choice.

Well,

what does that mean?

He's running.

He's running.

there's no there's no doubt and he's not running it this was this was um

surprising to me in in some regard because i thought there's no way donald trump is going to leave with an l in the column no way he's going to come back yeah um however that's not it i really was impressed on

he loves the people who voted for him yeah he and he loves his country he loves the country he loves this nation he really feels he can fix it and he he sees the destruction being done by this administration yeah

so i i think that is um i think that's really good by the way can i play cut nine this is uh

this is from the uh interview you can find it on the blaze uh right now i think maybe this weekend maybe it's going up on youtube i'm not sure uh but here's ron de santis uh talking about his stop woke act listen to this cut nine

or is this from you we just did an event today rolling out a new new piece of legislation called the Stop Woke Act.

And what we're doing is we already had our State Department of Education prohibit critical race theory in our K through 12 schools.

But I think we've seen that sometimes schools will do what they want.

So we're giving parents a private right of action where they could go in and sue if this is happening, get discovery, and get attorney's fees.

And the parents are really happy about that and really excited that they have a role again in Florida.

We have a parents' Bill of Rights.

We were one of the first states to pass it to where we say parents have the primary obligation and responsibility for the health, education, and upbringing of their kids.

It's interesting.

In that Virginia governor's race, you had the Democrats say parents shouldn't really have a role in what goes on in school.

People said that that was a mistake, but I was actually evincing what they actually believe.

The left believes that this is the province of unions and bureaucracies

and that parents are really a sideshow in all of this.

And I think that view has been totally exploded now.

And so parents are on the march.

And I think that that's something very, very positive.

You know, Glenn, people will talk about, hey, win the Congress back, win this.

And I think all those are important.

But if I could have one thing politically, one political wish granted, I would want conservative majorities on every school board in the country.

That would have a profound positive impact on our education system, our society, and on our culture.

I really like him because he has the Donald Trump attitude where he'll go in front of Brandon car dealership in Brandon, Florida, and then just give a speech.

I kind of appreciate that.

But he's also very

reasoned and very well thought out.

Very well thought out.

But he's not going to run.

I think he's going to run for governor.

Trump is going to run for president, and then you'll see him again in 28.

It's been kind of interesting.

There's a little

VP for Ron?

Don't think he'll take it.

You don't think he'll take it?

Don't think he'd take it.

I don't know if it would be offered, but I don't think he would want it.

Well,

we don't think he's going back to Pence, right?

No.

So where is he going there?

Done.

Yeah, it does seem like they're done.

I think Trump is a little upset with DeSantis because DeSantis hasn't said he won't run yet.

And he doesn't want to close that door before he knows what Trump is going to do.

Yeah, I think if Trump doesn't run.

He'll run.

He'll run.

If Trump does run, I don't think DeSantis will.

I agree with that.

There's some reporting that basically all of the major rumored candidates have gone to Donald Trump and said, if you run, I'm not going to run.

Including the reporting was, including DeSantis.

However, DeSantis was the one guy who was not saying it publicly.

Or like, these other candidates are like, look, if Donald Trump runs, then I won't be running.

Or at least are since.

And DeSantis has not yet said that.

DeSantis has not said that.

And I think that would be foolish.

If Donald Trump is running, Donald Trump will, I mean, he crushes everyone, crushes everyone.

And he not only will win, he'll destroy you so that you're

we have nothing left.

That's not good.

Yeah, that's not good.

We need people like DeSantis because Trump only has four years.

And I talked about this.

My interview with Donald Trump is happening when we get back in January, first week of January.

You don't want to miss it.

But I talked to him about what needs to be done.

And I said, let me just give you a list of the agencies that need to be cleaned out.

I mean, fire everybody.

And it, you know, it's almost every agency.

And I said, how are you going to do that in four years?

He said, oh,

we'll get it done.

We'll get it done.

He says, it's just going to take focus and just courage to just keep on going.

Big time courage.

Big time courage.

Because you're going to get such pushback.

From all sides.

From every side.

From all sides.

And he said, that's why 2022 is so important, because he needs people who know it's time to abolish, because I asked him, is it time to abolish the Department of Ed?

And I think you'll like his answer.

But

it's going to take, I said, are you going to do this if you have Mitch McConnell?

And oh, that was the wrong thing to say because he went off on Mitch McConnell.

I bet he did.

Mitch McConnell.

He does not like Mitch McConnell.

I don't either.

I don't either.

I don't either.

We never have.

I mean, we tried to get him beaten by Matt matt bevin years ago if you remember correctly what was that 2010 yeah in kentucky and couldn't quite get it done but uh would have been great bevin of course went on to be governor of the state and then lost in a very close election i wonder how kentucky feels about that since oh my god i don't think very imagine having bevin as the governor of how different things would be yeah in kentucky especially through covet i mean you know to have a democrat governor through that in that type of state which is clearly a red state that

that was rough on those people.

Let me quickly get to the podcast that is being released today for Blaze TV.

It came out last night.

It's Andrew Yang.

Now, I've been trying to have Andrew Yang on for a long time because I think he's a reasonable guy.

He believes in things I don't believe in, for instance, UBI.

But the discussion is incredibly important because things are changing.

And if you know anything about what is coming our way

in the future with tech,

this kind of disruption that we've seen with COVID is only the beginning.

And so this is why he's for UBI.

And we talked about that.

Here is, what is it, cut eight.

I really disagree with UBI, but I see exactly the same problems on the horizon that you do, and I don't have a better answer.

So I want to hear,

I want to be able to talk to you about UBI as somebody who thinks it's a horrible idea, but I also know what's on the other side.

What else could we do?

Can you explain the problem

of why we would need a UBI?

I have a lot of friends who work in Silicon Valley, tech entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, and

95% of them are convinced that artificial intelligence is going to wipe out millions of jobs in industries around the country.

And an obvious one that most people will understand and have direct experience with.

There are 2 million Americans who work in call centers right now, picking up the phone, customer service.

And Google's AI now can do that job better,

maybe

right now,

as we're having this conversation.

And so if Google's AI ends up sweeping away hundreds of thousands of jobs, what do those families do?

The scenario scenario I was warning about on the campaign trail was imagine autonomous

cars and trucks where when you call Uber, just an Uber shows up.

That is going to happen.

That will happen.

Yeah, that will happen.

To the extent that there are impediments in that direction, a lot of them are regulatory.

And one of the things that you're going to see, Glenn, is that certain industries, let's call them doctors,

are going to lobby very actively saying, no, no, no, like you can't have a headbot surgery.

Doctors were the ones who came out against anesthesia in the 1800s because they were not good.

You were based, if you did surgery, the best doctors were the fastest doctors.

And so when anesthesia came, Now you could finesse, well, those guys who were really fast were not necessarily the best.

And they campaigned against anesthesia.

That's the problem is, and that's where government always gets involved and says, well, now, wait a minute, we'll make the, no,

let it change.

Let the process work its way through.

Stop protecting industries that are dying.

I bet you believe by 2030, maybe 2035,

People will say, yeah, yeah, Doc, but what did the machine say?

What did the computer say?

what did the ai say because it will be better at diagnosis than the average really good doctor right or wrong

his answer is fascinating he's also the only guy that i have heard answer the section 230 thing satisfactory uh he's the only one that has a real

actual cure to the problem of these big big tech companies that doesn't involve involve breaking them up, doesn't involve Section 230.

It is, I think, the only right answer I've ever heard.

Andrew Yang, it's the podcast.

It's available everywhere.

Tomorrow, it is available for Blaze scribers today.

All right.

Stu.

Yes.

This is crazy.

Okay, if you live in Massachusetts and you voted for the animal for welfare law,

I think you should have to stay in Massachusetts.

I don't want you in Texas.

I don't want you anywhere where freedom exists.

Massachusetts voters passed the animal welfare welfare law, which effectively now bans eggs from being sold in the state.

They overwhelmingly passed an animal treatment measure that in part makes it illegal to sell eggs born of hens with less than 1.5 square feet of floor space in the enclosure.

So it comes into effect 2022, which is, oh, in three weeks.

And that's 90% of all eggs.

Correct.

So they're now saying that if they don't change this, you're not going to be able to

be able to have eggs

in Boston and in Massachusetts.

And I say good.

There's nothing like that will change policies more than reaping the results of them.

So look at San Francisco.

So they're basically trying to make this, you have to have like free range eggs, right?

Is that essentially the aim of this policy?

That's the aim of it, yeah.

But you just treat animals better.

Right, and that's good.

and I'd love for that to happen.

But you can't, when you're buying most of your eggs, like Massachusetts is from Connecticut, they don't have the space for that.

You're just, you don't have it.

You don't have it.

They didn't pass the law in Connecticut, so those farms aren't changing.

And now

they're calling it egg Armageddon.

Egg Mageddon.

Egg Mageddon.

They're saying this is an absolute Armageddon for eggs in in Massachusetts.

It does sound funny to say.

It does.

And it happens in a couple of weeks.

And I say, good.

Good.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Thanks, Hillary.

Right now, somebody might be out there looking at your house and thinking it looks exactly like something they'd like to have for themselves.

The holiday season, people get presents.

Maybe your house is one of them.

Bad news is, of course, there are ways to make that happen nowadays with cybercrime and someone who's pretty savvy on the internet, which is why you need home title lock.

The fraud happens when a criminal forges your signature on documents stating that you sold your home to them.

And then you take out some loans against your equity, leave you with the payments.

It's a nice gig, I guess, if you can get it.

Very, very illegal, but you can make a lot of money in a short period of time.

And if you're the homeowner, you're going to spend a fortune in legal fees trying to prove you didn't commit fraud.

Good luck with that.

Home title lock puts a barrier around your home's title.

The instant they detect, you know, from a cyber thief to even like a disgruntled relative trying to forge their way onto your home's title, they can help shut it down for you.

If you value your home and your peace of mind, the best thing you can do is get home title lock.

You go to home titlelock.com, register your address, and see if you're already a victim.

The code radio gets you 30 risk-free days of protection.

This

is

the Glenbeck Program.

Hello, America, and welcome to the Glen Beck Program.

It is Friday,

and there is a good friend of ours who has just put out a book that says pretty much.

Let me get the exact title here.

I gotta click out and get over here.

My gosh, when will technology just follow me, please?

It is

do what you believe,

or you're not going to be free

to believe it much longer.

Steve Dace,

a truth bomb

in 60 seconds.

The Glenn Beck Program.

If you ever bought or sold a home, you're probably aware of the particular phenomena where every now and then you can just stop up and look at the ceiling and say, could I just have a day where something goes right?

It's frustrating playing around in the real estate game half the time.

You don't even know what you don't know.

And that's why, when it comes to picking a real estate agent, you need somebody who's not only going to be able to guide you through the best practices, but also

is never more than a touch of a button away from whatever sort of problem that you have.

They have the solution for it, they have every expert you need right on their phone.

You get the best bang for the buck when you're buying or you're selling.

How do you find that real estate agent?

Steve Dace,

Blaze TV show host, the Steve Dace show, which follows this program every day on the Blaze TV Radio and Television Network.

Steve, how are you, sir?

Good morning to you guys.

Merry Christmas to everybody.

Thanks for having me, brother.

Are you in the Christmas mood?

You probably are.

I've been in the Christmas mood since, well, I'm a Christmas flap.

And I've been in a Christmas mood since about three seconds after Halloween.

That's when Christmas begins for me.

November.

I'm usually that way.

I'm just, I don't know.

We've had so many bad things happen with our family.

I'm going on vacation, and I just don't believe it.

I won't believe it until I'm back.

Because I said to everybody, nobody's answering the phones.

No phones.

No internet.

Everyone, the entire United States could burn to the ground, and no one is to recognize it until we are off of vacation.

Amen.

Sounds like you have teenagers.

I feel the same.

Yes, I do.

My wife said to me, I had a dream last night.

She woke up and she said today,

I had this weirdest dream.

I dreamt that we had a lion in the house.

And I said, we do.

It's called our teenager.

But anyway, Steve, you have a new book out, Do What You Believe, or you won't be free to believe it much longer.

Tell me about it.

The last year,

you know, on our show here on Blaze TV, we kind of have a theme for the show every year.

And the theme for our show this year was that the answer is us, that if we want to turn around the direction of this, just sitting around and waiting to vote ourselves out of it isn't going to be sufficient.

And we're going to have to learn some of the old arts of resistance and non-compliance and civil disobedience that the founding generations of the country perfected in order to found us.

And what's transpired as the year has gone on, and it's become more and more clear that the political system,

unless you happen to be governed by Ron DeSantis or a handful of other people, is largely ineffective or unwilling to confront the authoritarianism that is beyond creeping now.

It's a shadow that is threatening to overtake us, is we're going to have to do this.

And you've seen it recently.

I mean, just a few months ago, the airlines, Southwest and American Airlines, were facing unprecedented shutdowns and cancellations because of pilots and employees failing, refusing to go along with their jab mandates.

And now those CEOs are now saying, we shouldn't even be wearing masks on a a plane anymore.

It's amazing how the turntables here in a few days.

Right?

Yeah.

You look at the Justice Smollett, the Kyle Rittenhouse cases.

Those are cases where in our current political media industrial complex, the truth was unattainable to achieve.

Yet when facts and evidences are presented to regular people that are sober-minded and not filtered through those mechanisms, suddenly we get to a place of truth and justice.

And I think that shows that really the answer we're looking for here are people who who understand where their rights come from, which is God, who understand

that America, as Chesterton said, is the only country ever founded upon a creed.

And that ultimately stop waiting for some magic savior with an R after his name to show up and outsource your citizenship to him or her, but to take these matters peaceably but confrontationally into our own hands with the mechanisms we have.

And that's what our book lays out is a battle plan for doing exactly that.

Yeah, some of the chapters, first we have to correct some stinkin' thinking.

The Declaration of Independence choose this day the inconvenient truth about America, which is what?

That we're far worse off than we think.

That what transpired the last year and a half didn't break or wreck anything.

It's a harvest of things that were already broken and wrecked.

So that the forces that want to really undo, what we're really talking about here is the unraveling and undoing of Western civilization.

You know what I'm bringing?

Go ahead.

Don't go.

Go.

No, I mean, which has essentially been

a 500 post-Reformational

understanding of the world in the Judeo-Christian context of how to conduct human affairs,

where rights come from, where good and evil come from, who defines that, what institutions are in charge of such endeavors, the role of family, etc.

What we're really up against is a complete and total unraveling of that.

That's why a lot of the theories and morals that the opposition articulates that they call progressive, they're not progressive.

This is paganism.

This is a pre-Judeo-Christian understanding of the world.

And they're really regressives.

They want to take us back to the dark ages.

All right.

So that even things like gender distinctions are all but gone and erased.

And

those are the stakes we're playing for here.

And it's not as if we just got up one day and were like, holy cow, how did we get to this place?

We were actually creeping to this place for a long time.

We were complacent.

We did not confront it.

And now we're in the position now where it's here.

It's spectacular.

And it has us cornered.

That's the inconvenient truth.

So,

you know, I've been worried about this for a while.

You know, if you look back at Germany, Germany lost all of its

icons, all of the, you know, even the eagle of Germany was lost in the 20s.

And it was lost for about 10 to 15 years.

Then Hitler came in and he twisted all of those symbols.

So the iron eagle came back, but it wasn't the same.

And And I kind of feel like this is happening to us in real time.

We are slowly forgetting

everything.

We're living our life in such a way now, because of COVID, in many places,

we would have never thought we would do this.

Now we're just doing it and we don't even notice it anymore.

It's just kind of like, yeah, that's the way life is.

That's very dangerous.

See, this is why why what you just described is why we have this phenomenon right now with people like Dave Chappelle, with people like Bill Maher,

with people like Andrew Sullivan.

I mean, Andrew Sullivan's the Bill Buckley of the gay rights movement.

It was its first respected celebrity intellectual.

He can't get booked on CNN or MSNBC anymore.

Why?

Because if you go read half of Andrew Sullivan's Twitter feed every day, about half of it is stuff I would tweet.

And I'm the guy that puts the fun in fundamentalism, okay?

Because

what happened is a lot of the old liberals thought that they were just freeing themselves from our gods.

Yes.

Okay.

And what they're learning is that the new leftist actually all along intended to introduce the new gods instead.

Okay.

So no, you're not going to free your conscience.

from the mandates,

the mandates of the Ten Commandments or what the Bible preaches or traditional Judeo-Christian understanding.

We're actually just removing those restraints so we can put the new restraints in instead.

So you really didn't get rid of some form of what you viewed as theocratic authoritarianism.

You actually just set the stage and helped us bring in real theocratic authoritarianism.

It's just all going to be that the power emanates from the state.

And this is why we're now finding some strange bedfellows from some of these old liberals who are like, wait a minute, I thought I had a right to my own conscience.

And it was really those Christians and those conservative Jews who were stopping me from fully actualizing that.

And now what they're learning is you don't have a right to your own conscience.

At least with us, we were willing to argue with you how far your right to conscience could go, but that you at least had one.

With the new left, you don't have those rights anymore.

You must comply.

There is no individuality.

It's why Dave Rubin's not gay anymore.

He might as well change his name to Donald Trump, okay?

It's why Jason Whitlock's not black anymore.

He might as well change his name to Steve Base or Glenn Beck, because it's not about any of those identities we were sold before.

It was about a means to an end to use those things in order to deconstruct the old ways so we could introduce to you the new one.

So that's why it's so important to me that we're reaching out.

I just did an interview with Andrew Yang.

There's a lot I disagree with Andrew Yang on.

There's a lot I agree with him on.

And these intellectuals that had been part of this movement to the left, they're now saying, whoa, whoa, whoa,

uh-uh.

Not here.

I agree with the Bill of Rights.

These are the people now finally coming to the table that we can disagree with and

not have to round

one side or the other up in the end.

And I think it's really important that we welcome this diversity to the right because there, you want to talk about a very small tent.

It's the left.

I agree because I also don't think that the traditional political Venn diagram is applicable at the moment.

We aren't having

an argument about the direction of the country.

We're having an argument about whether to have a country.

What is a border?

What is a citizen?

What's a boy?

What's a girl?

What's a team?

What's a law?

What's anything?

We're up against a movement that really transcends politics.

It is a rival religion.

And it behaves in very cultic ways.

That's why there's not a lot of critical thinking, but a lot of group thinking with talking points instead.

It's what I've kind of dubbed on my show, to use an old stained glass window term.

I call it the spirit of the age.

And that's why there's so much zealotry, so much fervor.

That's why they seethe a lot.

These people that are caught up in this, sadly, when they speak to you, that they can't critically think or reason with you.

It's because they have given up on reason and have essentially just glommed onto a cultic spirit of the age that they think is ultimate truth, is a form of salvation.

This is absolutely spiritual.

And that's why, you know, we run a great promotion for our colleague, Allie Stuckey, on our commercials here on Blaze TV.

And she keeps saying this line, I always hear her say, these people, they absolutely think they're the good guys.

They do.

They think that they're here to deliver us, that we're the ones that are misbegotten, that

we are the troglodytes here, unevolved.

And so this idea that there could be a national divorce and our states states go their way and their state, no, no, no, no, folks.

They think that they need to save us from going our own way.

And so that's why what we're really talking about now is authoritarianism versus liberty.

That's really the paradigm now.

And

that's why there is ability for us to work with people that we have a whole host of disagreements on.

And I don't plan on changing my mind on most of those things anytime soon.

But right now, we're having a fight, Glenn.

Am I entitled to have my own mind?

See,

that is the thing that, you know, I keep starting

conversations with people that I know I'm going to disagree with this.

Do you believe in the Bill of Rights as written?

You give me nine of those, you know, first 10.

Do you agree with the Bill of Rights?

If you do, then all we're usually talking about are policies.

And that's normal.

It goes back to you saying, you know, what is a law?

What is a nation?

What is a border?

If you understand the Bill of Rights, that gave us the playing field, and it gave us, this is all out of bounds.

Well, nothing is out of bounds right now.

And I'm, you know, I can argue policies, but we are not talking about those now.

It's not really about spending.

It's about, wait a minute, wait a minute.

You are spending and building a structure for an entirely different system, and you're not including us in it.

That's exactly right.

This isn't political, it's spiritual and it's not cultural, it's existential.

This is a completely new, fundamentally new way of life.

Yes, it is.

And this is the end of Mel Gibson's apocalypto and neither side can agree on who the savages are.

Okay?

So one belief system, this is, you know, it's a worldview steel cage match now.

Two of them have entered.

Only one of them is coming out.

And either we are going to be permitted the luxury of going back to those culture war political issues that we thought at the time were existential and

so serious.

And now we've reached a whole different meta level and realized kind of seems pretty trite compared to what we're talking about now.

Either we're going to be afforded the luxury of returning to that political paradigm and then being angry at the Andrew Yangs of the world again, or we're not going to have a country.

Those are really the stakes.

So, Steve,

if you would have talked to me two months ago, I would have been very, very pessimistic.

Then Afghanistan happened, and I saw people stand up.

Then the school boards started to be flipped.

Now people are starting to say, you know, shut up, Fauci.

I'm starting to see that spirit of America come back.

Are you optimistic?

I'm more optimistic.

I don't know.

I'm a total depravity kind of guy, so I don't know that I'm ever actually optimistic, okay?

But

I am more optimistic than I was a few months ago.

Yes, that I do think that

here's how I would define it.

We don't have as many people

as

we probably need, but we have more people right now, but we have more people than the system can tolerate at the same time.

And so that's where we can build a groundswell of momentum here.

And I think there's a window here that we can use things like mass resistance, non-compliance.

New York State right now, I believe, has 40 of 62 counties that are refusing to enforce or implement the new governor's attempt to return to COVID standards mandates.

Fantastic.

See, that's what we're talking about is who they can issue all the decrees that they want.

The school board doesn't have a sergeant-at-arms.

OSHA with the jab mandate doesn't have police officers that they can come arrest you if your company won't enforce it.

If enough people refuse to comply, these things become unenforceable.

They're trying to impose these things through infrastructures that don't have enforcement mechanisms.

They've just relied on, yet, they've just relied on us to go along with it.

And we need to show them that it will be painful for you to try to inflict these things on us, that this pain will not be a one-sided transaction any longer.

Just like you want to inflict pain on us, we will return the pain on you for trying to inflict it.

You got it, guys.

Again, Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Thank you.

American Financing NMLS 1-82334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

All right, there's short-term planning for your family and long-term planning.

Short-term is something like,

do you know what you're getting everybody for Christmas this year?

Have you figured out what everybody wants?

Have you worked it into the budget so that you can get the maximum amount of Christmas bang for your buck?

Things like that.

Long-term planning for your family is something like, how much money are you going to be able to put into your savings every month?

What are you doing to lower the bills so that number can rise?

What are you considering as an option?

Are you considering all of them?

If you own a home,

you've got got to get a fair mortgage rate.

If you have a mortgage rate that is in the 3% interest range, you're overpaying.

You could be saving hundreds of dollars a month or more if you refinance that mortgage right now.

The mortgage rates are low, but the Fed came out just, what, two days ago and said we are going to raise it three times.

And I think they are talking about some things that are really going to affect the economy because it'll make it harder for people to get loans.

Get your loan now.

If you need a new mortgage, a refi, you want a consolidation loan, it's American Financing.

800-906-2440.

800-906-2440 or AmericanFinancing.net.

10 seconds, station ID.

So there's a lot of really good signs on what we were just talking about with Steve.

One of them is the Salvation Army's, their red kettle donations.

Ah,

they're not making it.

They're not making it.

They're way behind this year.

Now, usually you wouldn't say lack of donation to charity would be a good sign.

No, but this time, seeing that they put out a little booklet, let's talk about racism

and said that, you know, we really need as Christians, we really need to look at ourselves.

We need to evaluate our racist attitudes.

And the white culture has challenges it needs to overcome, including denial of racism and defensiveness about race.

And white Americans have to stop trying to be colorblind.

That's the one, that's the, out of all of those sentences, that's the one that bothers me the most.

Stop being colorblind?

No, I'm sorry.

I've spent my whole life being taught to be colorblind.

And the guy who was the head of the class was Martin Luther King.

And you're not going to convince me at this point that the things that he actually said and actually believed.

Now, you want to talk to me about communism and Martin Luther King?

Okay, you might be able to flip me on that one.

Maybe he was a total communist.

But I do believe he believed.

Don't judge me on the color of my skin.

And I think that is right.

And sorry, I'm not going to comply.

And if that's what you are, Salvation Army, you're never going to get a, oh,

shut up, fat man with a bell.

I'm walking into the store and you ain't getting anything either way from me.

I think tons of people feel that way.

I'm not going to, I don't care what you say.

I'm not going to start making decisions based on skin color.

No.

Nope.

Nope.

No, thanks.

Not going to go down that road.

Don't want to do it.

I think we all realized it was the wrong thing to do.

I think we were right when we realized that.

It is amazing how

easy it is to see if you're on the wrong side of history.

You know what I mean?

It's just so easy to see.

Huh, wait a minute.

I think I'm on the wrong side of history here.

And I think more and more Americans are waking up.

More in a minute.

This is the Glenback program.

You know, when you woke up this morning, I'll bet you didn't expect that today was going to be the day that you'd have to drop $1,000 or more all of a sudden because something went crazy with your car.

If your car is out of warranty, that could be exactly what happens.

I hope it doesn't to you today.

Repairs aren't cheap, and this time of the year, when the weather's changing from warm to cold, it can be really hard on a vehicle.

This is the worst time of the year for your car.

I've had CarShield for several years now, and I can tell you that they have saved me and my family a ton of money.

They have affordable plans for your budget, and they can get you out of a tough bind.

We have house insurance in case something goes radically wrong.

We have medical insurance because we know how expensive it is if it happens to us.

This is just car insurance.

It's medical care for your car because you know something's going to go wrong.

Don't face that gigantic bill.

Car Shield, the best defense against costly repairs.

It could put a deep freeze on your plans and finances, and they have everything that would fit everybody's budget.

And don't miss the big power hour tonight.

Christmas Party Power Hour for Stew Does America.

Go to stewdoespowerhour.com.

You're not going to want to miss it.

This is the Glenbeck program.

I just want you to be on high alert.

In fact,

I think it warrants the duct tape alert because what you are about to hear will honestly just,

it could make your head explode.

But you might pray for that.

So maybe you don't wrap your head in duct tape.

Biden is now warning, and I quote, of a winter of severe illness and death.

End quote.

Merry Christmas, everybody.

I mean, these guys just won't give up on their fear-mongering.

And I think, like to make a prediction,

by the end of the year, and I think it's going to happen sooner rather than later because it already is, but America is just going to start mocking, I mean, universally, mocking these warnings, mocking these people.

And they're just going to be like, yeah, really?

Got to wear a mask, huh?

Not going to do it.

By the end of the year, meaning in like just a couple of weeks, or you're saying in 2022?

In 2022.

Yeah, I think it's coming.

Here's what I'm already saying to them.

A-B-C-D-E-F-U.

That's what I'm already saying.

Really?

Really?

And your mom and your sister and your job.

Are you quoting?

Broke-ass car,

that stuff you call art.

Are you guys familiar with this song?

It was number one in the country last year.

Yeah, but I didn't think I would hear it from you

of all people.

I never thought I would quote a song like that either, but this is probably the song your kids are listening to and you don't know.

Do you have a piece of it edited?

You and any mom, any sister, any job, any broke-ass car, and that's car lost.

You any friends that I'll never see again.

Everybody but your dog even more.

I swear I'm once you made the best when it ended, even tried to get

a tongue when

It's super catchy.

As a programmer, strictly as a guy who used to...

A music guy who used to program top 40 stations, I would have this in what was called power rotation out of the box.

You'd hand it to me, I'd put it in, I'd listen, I go, it's on the airwaves.

Every 90 minutes.

Every 90 minutes.

Every 90 minutes.

It is a...

It's a smash hit.

It's not only a smash hit, it is an anthem.

It's an anthem.

And

those happen

occasionally, rarely, but it is an anthem that becomes a movement of the age.

You and your friends that I'll never see again.

Everybody but your dog, you can all fing lost your time.

They spared the dog, too.

I feel good that they said that.

Yeah, they spared the dog.

They spared the dog.

It's something you can just powerfully relate to, I guess.

It is.

And I wish you couldn't.

I wish I couldn't.

But

you can see the appeal.

Wait,

you're singing it.

It's your Pat Gray's anthem?

I thought you were saying it was good.

It just feels good.

No, it feels good.

That's my anthem.

I could quickly adopt that as my anthem.

Oh, big time.

Yeah.

Big time.

And your kids have got to.

Not that I want them to, oh, or they should be.

This is what they're listening to.

But that's what they're listening to.

They're listening to that, and you don't know it, and they would never sing it around you, but I guarantee you they know everyone.

They're singing to all their friends, and they're screaming it in the car when they're not with you.

Yeah, yeah,

uh, it's weird.

We were at a place where,

like, I didn't like the

I let me put it this way: uh, I like the Brandon chant

much better than what that, what it means.

Yes, I, as a parent of two small kids going to sporting events and hearing the actual chant associated with Let's Go Brandon over and over again, it was not fun.

I did not appreciate that.

I like Let's Go Brandon much more.

But I think society, I mean, Pat, you remember me in the day

before I sobered up and changed and found the Lord and everything else.

It was an art form.

The F-word was an art form.

You know, I could say...

It came up a few times in conversation.

Yeah, and I could pretty much

talk about anything

and

probably more F words in it than actual other words, and you'd still understand exactly what I was talking about.

I feel like I wasted all of those years.

Well, maybe I was just a pioneer because everybody is talking like that now.

Yeah.

Doesn't it seem like that?

Yeah.

Like you hear that everywhere.

Yeah.

Everywhere.

Seems like we're just getting dumber and dumber as a society.

And I think that's, it's like, what was it?

The idiocracy,

the

movie that predicted the future blatantly.

But everyone kind of breeds and gets dumber and dumber over time.

And then that's how they talk all the time.

All they're doing is swearing and

it's just constant insults.

But there is nothing better at times, at times, than that word.

It just.

That word is an effective word.

It's a very effective word.

There are only a couple of words that are more effective

that they don't get into songs all that often.

Yeah, right.

right.

But it's kind of like it's becoming almost like the C word in England.

Like in England, it doesn't mean what we think it means.

Right.

The C word.

Yeah.

Do we all understand the right C word?

Because I know there's lots of C words we're not supposed to say.

Yeah, C is the one you got to stay away from the most.

It seems like.

Hang on just a second.

I'm getting it from my Scottish friend.

Is it only Scotland?

So in England, does it mean the same thing that it does here?

Means the same in England, not in Scotland.

And I know this because the guy who is my assistant is Scottish and

he was having a conversation with his now wife,

but they were dating and he

called her that.

And she was like,

what?

And he was like, what?

What's the problem?

Didn't go well.

Didn't go well, but he saved it.

Does it mean like, you know, idiot, Dwight?

Can he just

let me see him at least?

I know he doesn't want to be on the microphone, but.

Does it mean idiot?

Is that a program?

What does it mean?

Open his mic.

Go ahead.

What's it mean?

It's just a friendlier way of saying, yeah, that idiot over there.

A friendlier way of saying that idiot over there.

It doesn't seem friendly, but.

Yeah.

And I mean, it doesn't seem like idiot either.

Yeah.

That's how we use it.

I mean, we use it in all

questions in anybody.

Oh, I see you over there.

Yeah, I know, I know.

And,

you know,

because, you know,

I watch the BBC a lot because I think the BBC is, no, it's not necessarily better.

Well, yes, it is.

But it's just that it doesn't have any American politics in it.

It's got loads of British.

But I don't care if they burn to the ground.

So it's like, yeah, that's funny.

Yeah, but it's interesting.

Like over there,

and they have a word for cigarette as well that means something else over here that occasionally makes it into those shows.

And it's jarring because you just don't hear it in any kind of thing.

And especially because it's usually preceded, want to drag off of a

and you're like, no, no, no, I'm good.

Thank you for that.

I've been watching The Wire, the show on HBO that aired in the early 2000s.

Basically based off Jason Whitlock's recommendation.

Because obviously I've heard of The Wire and it's one of the most renowned shows of all time.

And he was saying it's his favorite show of all time.

And so he kind of talked me into going through it.

And it's very good.

But what's interesting about it is there,

it's about drug dealing on the streets of Baltimore in the early 2000s.

And

particularly the anti-gay slur is all over the place.

like crazy.

And like it's it's interesting just in that time, that has gone from a word that was just continually used in pop culture, not necessarily in a positive way like hey these guys are good for using this word i mean they're bad characters but like it was just in there all the time and you go back at you know there's episodes of it's always sunny in philadelphia that blate just have the n-word in them straight out n-word said full like it's so shocking that like that's that's happened pretty fast really fast well but it is it is to me it has always been shocking because you know pat and i came from music radio that stuff was in rap all the time all the time All the time.

And so it was,

to me, it was always shocking to hear it in music.

And it's, and then it was just weird that you could hear it in music, still can, hear it in music, hear it in, you know, with, you know, half of the population or what is it, 20% of the population being free with it, just throwing it out anywhere and can.

And everybody else is like, okay, that's really a bad word.

It's just weird.

Developed in a very strange way.

There's that controversy that happened around here in Texas with supposed racism in high schools, and it was what was kind of the basis of the recent CRT stuff that happened here.

Where the teenage girls were singing the lyrics of a rap song.

Yeah.

And that was part of, you know, the criticism of this town and that, like, the white girls were singing the actual lyrics of this song.

No criticism levied at the artist

for recording the song this way.

Right.

No one said, hey, maybe like don't put it in the song that you know is going to attract young people who may not be able to decipher the ins and outs and nuances of how this word is supposed to be used.

No criticism to them for making millions of dollars off the word, but let's criticize the high school kids for just singing along to lyrics of a song that Universal or some other big company is making millions of dollars off of.

Remember when I stood up for Don Imos

against Al Sharpton?

Because Al Sharpton, I mean,

Don just said some things he shouldn't have said, but it's by far not worse than what's in rap songs.

Oh, God, no.

And I'm talking to Al Sharpton.

I'm like,

when are you going to talk to the record companies?

When are you going to boycott them?

And the answer, of course, is never.

He actually did.

Oh, he did?

He did say he would do it, and he did, too.

He did.

I went and marched with him.

I said, I'm not going to, I said, you're not going to do it.

And he said, yes, I will.

And I said, you know what?

Then I'll show up with my cameras and I'll be there to cover it.

I don't agree with it, but I will cover it and I'll be there.

And I walked out.

He'd had a march and I walked around the corner and he was there, you know, with a block full of people.

And one of the guards was like, no, no, no, no.

And Sharpton said, no, come here.

And he looked at me like I was an alien, like you're here.

And I said, of course, I told you I would be.

I said, I can't believe that you are doing this.

And he said, well, I told you I would.

And I said, yeah.

But there was a time where that was a position of

race activists, right?

That everyone should get rid of the N-word.

It should not just be the same.

You know, I don't know if anybody

is.

It kind of goes to all men are created equal.

I mean, we should all be playing by the same rules.

We should all be playing by the same rules.

That's old school.

What you're saying is old school.

Who was the rap star?

Was it Drake that invited the white girl up on stage to sing one of his songs with him?

She sang the word and then he berated her for it.

Really?

What?

Yeah.

What are your songs, man?

I'm just singing the lyrics.

What am I?

Do you put N-word in there in place of it?

Kendrick Lamar, I'm being told it was.

All right.

Good.

Still, that's a,

I hope she went away going, you're a total psycho.

I would think so.

Well, how about when in the Jussie Smollett trial, they were reading the texts and they, and Jussie Smollett said the lawyer, the white lawyer, couldn't read Jesse's text because the N-word was used in the text.

Jeez.

Requoting texts in a legal trial.

Hang on just a second.

Let's just all enjoy for a second the holiday season

and knowing that Jesse Small is going to go to jail.

Yeah, that makes sense.

Yes, it's a good.

It's like chestnuts roasting on an open fire, you know, it just

feels good.

You care deeply about your dog and you want him to live the fullest, healthiest, happiest life he or she can.

Part of the family, right?

That's why I use rough greens.

Not a dog food, but a supplement that you pour on the dog food.

And then, if your dog is

anything like Uno, you just stand back and watch because of the

feeding frenzy.

It's like pouring a chum into the water with sharks.

They love it.

It's full of probiotics, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, omega oils, all the things that they need and they're not getting from kibble food.

So this is not a dog food.

It's a supplement you just sprinkle on and they love it.

Get a free bag of rough greens for your dog just to try out.

Make sure that he loves it as much as Uno does.

It's roughgreens.com/slash Beck.

R-U-F-F-Greens.com/slash Beck.

Recall 833-Glenn33.

I hate stew.

I just want to bring that idea.

I hate.

I started with a compliment and you turn it around on me.

I just hate you.

I tell you.

So the compliment was a very thin sliver.

It was.

You know, that you immediately have hate.

Disavowed.

I mean, before you even got to the compliment, you disavowed the compliment.

How?

You said...

Well, and it's a very small, small, small compliment.

It's a sliver of a compliment.

Before I tell you, at least I'm being honest, right?

I'm being honest.

But it was a compliment.

Yeah.

You know, he's going, Stu always goes to like the Super Bowl every year, and he goes to, you know, bowl games, and he flies around, and he doesn't do, you know, you do one or two of these a year.

I like to do, I like to go to sporting events and

love that.

And

you do it without your wife and kids, right?

You just go with friends.

Sometimes.

Sometimes.

Yeah, sometimes.

Yeah.

And I don't know.

That's not something I do.

Not something that Pat does.

And

I feel like you're a hero to me.

Well, thank you.

Very small.

See, this is

diminished hero, right?

Well,

really non-hero hero.

Yeah, you're a non-hero hero.

Kind of somebody that you tell your kids not to look directly at kind of hero.

I don't know.

I think you do some fun things, Glenn.

I think you've do some fun things.

You have an interesting life.

You have an interesting life.

But, you know,

I talk to people and I'm like, I don't know what you do to make money.

I have friends who are like, oh,

I just got back home.

We took the family to the moon last week.

And you're like,

what, really?

You know, I have a friend who's like, yeah, the family went for four weeks.

We went to four weeks.

Four weeks.

We went to China.

Oh, the Great Wall.

And I'm like, shut up.

What do you do?

You have a job.

Why are you doing that?

Wow.

That's incredible.

See, but you do at least fun things.

I mean, Pat, I will say, Pat makes incredible cookies of kexy.com.

I will say.

He actually makes the cookies.

I don't even do that.

No, you don't even do that.

But you are running a new new small business.

Hard for you maybe to get away.

But you won't take all of that.

You won't take all those profits and go someplace, cool, will you?

No.

No, you'll probably give all those profits away, won't you?

So far, there are no profits.

Solves the problem completely.

Yeah, you don't have to worry about it.

Do I give it to the kids?

Do I give it to charity?

Do we take a vacation?

Nope.

Don't have to worry about it.

Good stuff.

Good stuff.

All right.

Back with more more in a minute.

If anybody in my family is listening, they should turn off the radio at this point.

And

you'd say, why?

And I'd say, because you don't ask questions around Christmas time.

Just turn it off right now.

Because

we have some talking to do about Christmas in 60 seconds.

The Glen Beck program.

Do you have a Rec Tech yet?

If you don't, you should get one.

If you like smoked food, grilled food,

you like to bake and not necessarily be stuck in the kitchen, a Rectec does all of these and does them to perfection.

It has smart grill technology on it, so everything bakes, grills, smokes to perfection.

I have not burnt a steak in my Rectech.

That is quite an accomplishment.

You don't know how many times I've had to cut the burnt part off of steaks.

Don't have to do that with RekTech.

It comes out perfect every single time.

It'll be the last grill you ever buy.

It's RekTech, R-E-C-T-E-Q.com.

R-E-C-T-E-Q.com.

RekTech.com.

So what is your favorite Christmas tradition?

What's the one, if I said one thing,

what would it be, Pat Gray?

Ah,

yeah, good at this.

Stew.

I loved.

We have a manger scene that we put out every year.

And we take the wise men from the manger scene and put them around somewhere else.

And then they all move.

And then the kids move to them every night.

But you're not doing that now, are you?

No, because the kids are a little old for that.

I know.

See, it's kind of weird.

Once your kids kind of grow up, you're like, okay.

Yeah.

My kids are still in peak Christmas years right now.

Enjoy them.

So they don't come back.

We have done more Christmas stuff this year than

is physically possible.

Multiple times.

So

does it feel like Christmas to you then?

Oh, yeah.

I love it.

Because to me, it's like I love Christmas too, but it's kind of like, meh.

I'm all in.

I'm all in this year.

Because our kids are so old now.

Is that what it is?

Maybe.

And the world is on fire.

It could have something to do with it.

Well, and also, my kids are on fire.

And the world is on fire.

So

it's complicated.

I'm going through those beautiful teen years that I remember you having.

Oh, my gosh.

Well, you bet.

Yeah.

I look at these times

and quite often will say, remember, Pat and Jackie went through this, and those kids are, they're not in jail.

No.

They're good, solid citizens.

I mean, they turned out.

And she's like, Yeah, but we're not Pat and Jackie.

And I'm like, you're right.

It sucks.

It's over.

Yeah.

You know, one of the latest Christmas tradition for me is

my grandkids absolutely are convinced that I am Santa.

They think you are Santa

Convinced.

Convinced.

Convinced.

There is some resemblance, Glenn.

Yeah.

You have several of the features I've got needed and required, with the exception of, I mean, you have a little bit of a beard, I suppose.

Well, it started really with

my grandson saying, Grandpa,

Santa's fat.

You're fat.

Wow.

That was the first time.

Santa's fat.

You're fat.

That's a smart kid.

He has white hair.

You have white hair.

Wow.

And I'm like, well, you got the two things required to be Santa down.

You all the beard.

You need the beard.

And your beard is not.

So here's the thing.

The Santa Claus, you know, the first one, you know, where what's his name?

Tim Allen.

Tim Allen, he grows the beard and he can't shave it off so last Christmas and this is all done by my daughter Hannah who I bought a couple of extra years by doing some magical things you know with like I think I've told the story about the Santa sleigh bell yeah you've told it in some live shows yeah and gave her the Santa sleigh bell and it was really really magical that year and it bought about another year or two of believing in Santa.

What I didn't know is she was very, very pissed once she found out that Santa doesn't come for those kids of that age.

You know, it's time for them to grow up.

And he's just for the little kids.

And

thank you for that look, Stu.

And so

I'm sitting there and

she says to me, I said, you remember how magical that was?

And she said,

I was so angry.

I was so angry for a long time.

And I was like, what, really?

What?

And this is after she started telling the grandkids that I'm I'm Santa.

She told the grandkids that you are Santa?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

And we've, we've, we've, we've, we've really piled some logs on it.

Last year,

last year, uh, I, I went to bed early on Christmas Eve and I said, I got, I got to go to bed early.

And they're like, grandpa, it's four o'clock.

And I'm like, I know, I got to go to bed early.

And so I went to bed and you know, I happened to have a real great Santa suit from some show that we did years ago.

And so I got into bed and I put my covers up to my chin, but then I got a really good stage, you know, like one with spirit gum glue that you glue on, you know, all the hairs and stuff, put a really good beard on that looked absolutely real and had that on the other side of the covers, kind of like Miracle on 34th Street.

And

Hannah comes in and she's like, oh my gosh.

She closes the door and then she runs.

We have it all in videotape.

She runs and she gets the kids.

You have to see grandpa.

What?

You have to see.

I can't.

I just look and open up the doors.

And the kids are like,

just about freak out.

Oh, my gosh.

Last summer.

This is unfair.

I know.

Last summer, I took that suit and I just put it in a box.

And I said,

it says grandpa's secret box.

Do not open

unless grandpa dies.

Okay.

And so I put it way up on the shelf.

Jackie even brought death into this story.

Put it way up on the shelf.

And Hannah goes out and she's up on a ladder with the kids cleaning the garage.

And she's like, what's this?

She opens it up and she's like, oh my gosh.

And then puts it away.

And of course, the kids are like, what's that, mom?

Nothing.

Mom, what's in the box?

Okay, you can't tell Gaga.

And so she opens up the box and it's the Christmas suit with a little instruction.

If I die, put on the suit and all will be explained.

Okay.

The kids are crazy.

She's like, you cannot tell grandpa what we just did.

I won't.

My grandson runs directly into the house, directly to me.

I knew you were Santa Claus.

Oh, it's so great.

That's incredible.

Wow, that is, you've really piled it on here.

I know, and I keep saying to her, remember how angry you were with Belle?

Right.

And she was like, yeah, but they'll probably be angry for a while, but they'll get over it.

And I'm like, well, yeah, but then I'm on the outs for a couple of years.

Right.

Just a couple of years of their childhood.

No big deal.

Luckily, I keep telling them I am not Santa, and I stick by that.

So you're the truthful one.

You're being true.

Well,

I'm saying those words.

And those words are accurate.

They are completely accurate.

I won't tell you what I'm doing this year until next year, but this year, oh my gosh, you couldn't pile it on bigger than this.

You cannot,

you couldn't outdo this.

You could not outdo this this year.

And this is the thing.

I think this is like unfair for parents around the country in that, like, Glenn is like, gets super into this stuff and is super creative on this stuff.

I, you've told me some stories about past years

that you're just like, oh my God, like the effort that goes into it.

And like, you're, you, you're doing this as if you're putting on a stage show, right?

Yeah.

There's a lot of stuff.

For like a million people.

There's resources.

Oh, yeah.

There's, I mean, you go into it.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

It's unfair.

Yeah.

A, um,

one of the kids was left a Santa glove.

And I mean, it's a real Santa glove, red leather and the soft white fur in it.

And I don't know how many rabbits died to make this glove.

And it took us a long time, but it is Santa's glove.

It is Santa's glove.

But wait.

Oh, my God.

The kids' heads, I think they will explode.

I think there's a chance.

You know those things that they always like pull in England?

You know, hey, Merry Christmas.

And they pull that stupid little paper thing and it, I don't know, pops something out.

I think that's going to happen.

That's going to happen.

That's going to happen to their heads.

Stuffing is going to fly out.

All right.

Let me tell you about Goldline.

CEO of Goldman Sachs just said publicly that he expects lower returns on stocks for the next few years.

Huh.

Why would you say that?

Would it be because the Fed has been pumping all fake money into the stock market?

And now maybe

it's going to

have a a giant bubble and it's gonna pop a little bit I mean maybe maybe take some of the winnings off of the table and move them into a more conservative protective asset the time-tested winner as always is precious metals gold and silver are where you want to be when the next crash comes and it could be closer than you think this is why I have gold as an investment it's a hedge against insanity you don't you don't want everything in gold you don't want everything in anything you have to spread the risk 10 is a good place to have for you know holdings of precious metals, but don't buy the paper gold.

Call Goldline.

10 seconds, station ID.

Okay, favorite Christmas movie.

Just going right to the top of the list here?

Yeah, go to the top of the list.

We made a list of Christmas movies, but just don't even look at the list.

Favorite Christmas movie.

One you cannot miss

a year of.

I feel I have three that fall into this category.

However, number one, I would would put elf.

I would say elf is my number one.

Okay.

I love elf too.

Yeah, elf is number one for me.

My favorite is it's a wonderful life.

Yeah, that's got to be number one.

I've got that at

number six.

Number six.

Yes.

Okay.

That's well down the list.

You know what it is?

You know what it is?

I think TBS wrecked that movie because they played it over and over and over again.

And so when we were growing up, where we were just probably, what,

either late teens or early 20s when Ted Turner found that movie, it was like, nobody nobody owns the rights to that.

Okay.

And he ran it 24 hours a day.

I don't think that rule, I think that makes it more, it associates it more with Christmas.

Like, I know we've had conversations when we disagree on a Christmas story being a great Christmas movie.

I love it.

But like, I put Christmas story

right halfway down my list because it's one of those that I sometimes I'm absolutely in the mood for and it's great.

And other times I'm like, ugh, I can't take that movie.

I love it, but I think part of the reason I love it is because it's on 24 Hours of a Christmas story every Christmas.

And so they just air it over and over and over and over and over again for 24 hours.

And I love that.

Like whenever it's on, even when we're doing something in the house on Christmas and we're not, we don't have the TV audio on, I just put it on without the audio.

So that's what happens in my house with a Hallmark channel?

Oh, I love the Hallmark channel.

Which is

love it.

It's the same movie over and over and over.

It doesn't matter.

I watch them all.

I watch them.

I watch them all.

And I love watching them with the family and being just sarcastic.

Yes.

Sometimes they're so bad.

The story is so dumb and the acting's so

bad that it's just fun to make a

we sit there, like my father-in-law, we sat there and watched it.

I didn't know if he was being serious or sarcastic the whole time.

And I looked at my wife and she's like, no, he's sarcastic.

Because I didn't know because he was so deadpan on it.

He was like, there's no way these two are going to get together.

There's just no way.

They're from different sides of the world.

They're too different.

And one of them lives in New York now and just came back to the small town.

There's no way she's going to stay here.

She's engaged to be married to another guy.

Right.

And she loves New York.

Yes.

She's the same one.

That's the one we were watching with my father-in-law.

The same one.

All of their movies can be described this way.

Yes.

That is what you do.

Yes.

They always have some business interest back in the big city.

By the way, on this note, I should point out, I mentioned Stew Does Power Hour is coming tonight.

Yeah,

well, a Christmas Twist is going to air on Stu Does America tonight.

So if you happen to be, if you watch Blazor, you can go to youtube.com/slash Stew DoesAmerica, wearing the entire movie, The Christmas Twist.

This is a movie that we're talking about.

It's called a fun holiday tradition.

It really is funny.

It really is funny.

And it's a parody of these terrible sort of Hallmark-style Christmas movies.

And I swear to you, this is true.

We made a Christmas twist.

What was that?

2014, 2015?

That was quite a while ago.

It was earlier than that.

Maybe.

It was on when I was doing Wonderful World of Stew for this network.

And it's a movie that Glenn is in.

Pat

does an incredible role.

Glenn does an incredible role.

We have a bunch of people from the Blazer in it.

It's a lot of fun.

And it's a parody of these movies.

And the woman has a Christmas cookie store.

And it's all, it's the same dumb plotline from all these movies.

And I swear to you, I swear this is true.

They saw this this movie and then made a real Hallmark movie out of it.

There is one about the

actual exact plot of our fake movie.

And it almost all happens in the same words.

I got to watch this.

But Stu, I would just

may I just point out

that you just told me you're describing every Christmas movie on Hallmark.

They're all the same.

They are the same, but they have typical different things.

Like, you know,

sometimes the business will be like a lawyer, and sometimes, you know, they'll be a business executive.

And then, like, in the town, sometimes it's, it's, uh, they, they're making cookies, and sometimes they're making, they're making Christmas costumes, and sometimes there's always little, like, you know, bumps in different directional.

This is like the exact same movie.

They made a real movie out of our parody movie.

I want to make a Christmas movie next year.

Oh, we should.

I want.

And I, and I, you know, I said this to, I said this to the guy who runs Mercury, and and I said, and I want to make it for Hallmark.

And he said, why?

Yeah, that's true.

That's a good point.

And I'm like, because Hallmark will run it and

we could do it live with no script, just ad-lib,

and

we'd have a Hallmark Christmas movie.

And you know the thing I really love about the Hallmark Christmas movies?

Most of them are filmed in California.

And you can tell because there's snow on the ground and yet strangely leaves on the trees in the background.

Have you ever noticed that?

It'll like be, yeah.

They don't really do the they don't do that thing that they do in movies where they make sure the background scenes look right.

They do, exactly.

It's likely.

It's a little bit of a distance.

It might be a set like of a town and it just happens to be moving down the sidewalk because they're getting ready to film another movie.

Right.

And all of a sudden there's a town behind them.

Continuity is not necessarily a strong point.

It's like, you know, you're watching a movie from 1845 and a plane flies by.

It's like that type of stuff goes on,

the equivalent in Hallmark movies.

I love when the blizzard is happening and they walk into

an indoor setting and they've got supposedly snow all through their hair and they can be indoors for 15 minutes.

Not a single flake has melted.

I wonder if that, wow, that is really frozen snow that can stand up to 70 degrees inside.

Or is it perhaps, or is it perhaps

that they've decided they're not going to use fossil fuels maybe and so they are

it's just as cold inside as it is out

yes okay yes i mean maybe that's

responsible thing to do it would be it would be the woke thing to do so your number one is is elf my number one is uh yeah elf and then my number two is rudolph the red-nosed reindeer i have that at four okay so that's pretty pretty we're in the see again you're being disagreeable i think we're in the same vicinity here.

I'm surprised, actually.

Then I have Christmas vacation.

I have that at number three as well.

Oh, my gosh.

You know what?

I'm telling you.

Where do you want to go on vacation?

We should be married.

Where do you want to go?

My wife and I,

we have we have the we don't agree on anything on when it comes to vacations.

If it's not a beach,

she's really not that interested.

And, you know, it's got, and it's got to be a beach vacation.

You know, I'm like, hey, maybe we could go.

Nope.

But But maybe we could, nope.

And, you know, like, I want to do things like I can't, now I understand this.

It's not a beach, but it's warm.

I really want to go to Chernobyl.

Oh, my gosh.

That's totally, it's on my literal bucket list.

It is on page two.

It is.

100% true.

100%.

Like Red Square.

I don't want to see all of Russia.

I just want to see the parts where I grew up.

It's probably not as

for you.

I'd like to see some things in China.

Don't want to eat there.

Wait, did you, are you saying you grew up in Russia?

No, I grew up.

Oh, crap.

I have blown colours.

They run to me.

No, it's that

I grew up with the Cold War, and I always wanted to see Russia.

I always wanted to see that.

My wife is like, I'm not going.

Any time of the year, I'm not going.

It's very questionable whether you, Glenn Beck, should go to Russia.

I will say you will definitely get murdered.

Right.

And Ukraine is probably not the best place either.

But however, that's Chernobyl.

That's worth, you know, that's worth.

I mean, I got to go.

I want to see the Ferris wheel.

I'm

going to go to the spookiest places.

Yeah.

That's what I want to see there.

Yeah.

And you can do it now.

You can do it.

I know you can.

You go to the exclusion zone.

I mean, that's.

We should go.

We should go together.

I would love to.

You know where I almost went this year?

Turkmenistan.

That's on my bucket list, too.

Almost.

And I was going.

Almost went.

And I I was like, I can't go without Stu.

Stu would be a good thing.

If you went to Turkmenistan without me, I would never talk to you again.

Now, that might be your goal.

And so I can understand that.

He is an asset that I have to put on the table.

Turkmenistan, if you don't know, had a very, and still does, have a very strange dictator that took power after the fall of communism and

littered the.

Is he still alive?

No, he died.

His dentist took over the country.

No, seriously.

Yes.

His dentist took over.

He's a great Hermie.

That makes his Hermie even better.

I want to be a dentist.

Literally, his dentist took over the country.

Now,

wait, wait.

I think you don't just throw that out, you know.

Like, the dictator of Turkmenistan is up on the roof.

You have to break this to us a little bit.

Yeah, and then he slipped off, and his dentist is now in charge.

Everyone has a plan for succession in Turkmenistan.

It's the dentist.

So I've got to go.

I've got to go.

This is the Glamback Program.

Do they have a beach there?

No, definitely not.

It's beginning to look a lot like Venezuela.

It's available on the Studios America podcast page now.

dog

Well, there's a mountain of debt and a criminal threat It is such a socialist treat A band of marauders have captured our daughters and amputated my feet.

The reindeer have been murdered and the elves have all been beat.

It's beginning to look aloud like Rena's well.

Oh,

the kids have frowns.

The tree is red and green.

It is clattered with blood and spleen.

And Santa Claus is not coming to town.

It's beginning to look a lot like renews well

soon we'll lose our soul

but the thing that will make us cry is the painful way we die

as our heads all

roll

oh well the temperature's higher from all of the fires and rampant is the disease there's some execution and much destitution and i am covered by pleas

And have you ever noticed that the water smells like cheese?

It's beginning to look a lot like Venezuela

Baking

for some food

But the thing that won't make us flee Is the worthless currency

Holy crap worse

food

And it's beginning to look a lot like Venezuela.

We're Venezuela.

Cause pride in the field ya.

It's beginning to look a lot like Venezuela from Stu and his orchestra.

Yeah,

you can listen to it and share it as much as you want.

Just go to the podcast page for Studos America, click subscribe, and listen as many times as you like.

I mean, it's a good way to celebrate the oncoming socialism that's coming to this country this holiday season.

You know, I think what says Christmas more than any other Christmas tradition or movie, especially in this time when we need it the most, die hard.

You know, I think

it's absolutely a Christmas movie.

It hasn't been to me in my mind until this year.

I think we're there now.

Yeah, we're there now.

Die Hard.

It is now a Christmas movie.

Yeah.

It is a Christmas movie, but it's a late Christmas movie.

It's like when you've watched all the other Christmas movies.

You know what I mean?

Well, it occurs during Christmas.

Yeah, but

you don't necessarily watch that one before Christmas.

Like you've watched, like, you know, next week, we're as a family, we're all going on a vacation.

So we're all going to, you know, one of the things we're going to do, every night we're going to watch another Christmas movie.

And so we do that.

And, you know, like by the 27th, you're like, okay.

And that's when diehard comes in.

That's when you're like, that's a Christmas movie.

And everybody tends to agree at that point.

Yeah.

You know?

I could see that.

I think that's a solid Christmas movie.

I think I'm kind of on that front.

What do you think about Rocky IV?

We just saw Rocky 4, the director's cut.

Where is Christmas in that?

The Russian fight happens on December 25th.

I am willing to make that a Christmas movie.

I'm writing that down.

That's like maybe the 26th.

Die Hard of the 27th.

I like that.

Yeah.

I think that's if you want to get away with

Rocky IV.

Yeah, it's now you might say really only one scene happens on Christmas, and it's in Russia where there's no Christmas markings.

But if you watch closely, the kids are cheering on their dad with a, he's got a Santa hat on.

Yeah.

Oh, well, there you go.

He's right.

There you go.

I mean, how many journals do you want in your Christmas movie?

That's enough.

And you're down to like, you know, Jingle All the Way or the Polar Express at that point.

Oh, I like Polar Express.

You don't like Polar Express?

Polar Express.

I like it.

I'm in the middle on that one.

Jingle all the way.

That's my upper section.

That was my lowest one.

It was Jingle All the Way.

Jingle all the way.

Jingle all the way.

That was no chance.

That's not even on my list.

That was an option for me.

I followed the rules, but if that was an option for me, I would have done that.

Well,

I color outside the lines.

You know what I mean?

And that's just the way I am.

I don't recognize that.

It's not that it's not a Christmas movie.

It's just not a movie.

Okay, yeah.

So, yeah, it's got Christmas in it, but I wouldn't classify that.

The Santa Claus trilogy.

I love them.

Really?

I like them.

I mean, Tua's kind of stupid with the Toy Santa or whatever.

I don't like that one.

Yeah, I don't like that one.

But I just speed through the Toy Santa parts.

That's almost all of it, isn't it?

Yeah, it's a lot of it.

It's a lot of it.

It's a lot.

Yeah.

And I like the one with Martin Short.

Kind of.

Not as good as the first one.

Right, but it's better than two, that's for sure.

Do you guys watch planes, trains, and automobiles on Thanksgiving?

I do.

Or anywhere.

Or anywhere around that.

That is a holiday movie, isn't it?

It's a holiday movie.

It's all built around Thanksgiving week.

That's right, yeah.

And it is hysterical.

We watch it every year.

We don't watch it for Christmas.

We watch it, you know, sometime the week before Thanksgiving or whenever, but we have to watch it.

And that's that's an all-time classic comedy.

Oh, my gosh, that is one of the funniest things ever.

You know what's terrible and always has been is Home Alone.

What a horrible movie that is.

I don't know about it.

It's just dumb.

Really?

Have you watched people?

Your mom didn't realize you were home until she got to Paris.

Okay.

It's not, I will say,

many of these movies involve literal magic.

Yes.

So I don't know that questioning the plot line of Home Alone is a great point.

But considering the universe they exist in,

that's important to me.

Yeah.

That's important.

It is important.

Yeah,

you've got your standards.

Yes, again, I would not.

It's like Star Trek can be realistic because it's within that universe.

Right.

Home Alone?

Not so much.

Not so much.

Not so much.

I would have to agree with him.

It is a complete.

Well, I thought it was a little implausible when they then did it again.

Yes.

Could I ask you a question?

Whatever.

And this is a serious question.

Where was CPS, by the way?

Right.

Where were they?

Well, it was in the days before.

Yeah.

During the Reagan administration when they just didn't give a damn.

Tell me this.

Whatever happened to John Hughes?

Because he made a string.

I mean, you think of the 1980s, and it's John Hughes.

And the reason why I thought of this, I went shopping with my daughter.

She was looking for her dress or something.

And I went shopping for my teenage daughter, And I'm walking through the stores.

And I'm like, this is 1985.

Everything in the store right now is 1985.

And I said to her, I'm not buying anything in this store for you because it's all from 1985.

And I made the mistake.

And there are pictures of me in clothes that would reflect this spirit.

And it's not like I can give you some sage advice and say, don't have, you know, you can wear it.

Just make sure there's no pictures of you because now everything is on, everything is forever.

My pictures of me and Tanya with the big hair and the woof.

I mean, those things are kept in an album.

You only bring those out for friends.

You take pictures and these, I mean, it's back.

Meaning like the 80s style is back?

Oh, yeah.

It's like walking into a John Hughes movie.

Really?

Oh, my gosh, yes.

It was, it is so bizarre.

By the way, I have some bad news.

He's very sick, John Hughes.

Oh, no.

We've lost him.

Wow.

Thank you for breaking it to me in 2009.

In 2009.

Yeah.

Just 12 years ago.

He was like

so young, too.

How old?

He's only 59.

Wow.

So he was young.

I suspect murder and foul play.

Too soon?

Too soon.

I just feel appropriate laughing at that because

this guy just

listened to listen to this string, though.

National Lampoons Vacation.

Right.

National Lampoons European.

Wait, that was John Hughes?

Yeah, he wrote it.

Huh.

John Hughes is for every kind of

cheesy kind of funny comedy, especially with John Candy.

He made all of them.

He made all of them.

So National Lampoons Christmas Vacation.

Okay.

Mr.

Mom.

16 Candles.

I love that movie.

Weird Science, The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

One of the greatest movies of all time, obviously.

Pretty in Pink, Some Kind of Wonderful,

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.

These are classics.

She's having a baby, Uncle Buck.

Wow.

I love John Uncle Buck.

Like, every single one of those, every single one.

I don't think there's one in there that I, well, weird science, I don't think I've ever seen.

But

what, 99% of those movies are classics.

Yeah.

And then it just stopped.

Yeah, what year did the.

Yeah, when was his last movie?

And then you just like, or did he just start making bombs?

Well, he did Home Alone in 1990, then Home Alone 2 in 1992, Home Alone 3 in 1997.

Well, you can't just stop.

And nothing in between those two?

We're We're reading sort of the highlights here.

I guess he did Flubber.

Do you remember Flubber?

Oh, yeah, Robin Williams?

Yeah.

That was not a success.

That was not...

That didn't even feel like a John Hughes movie, though.

Yeah.

I mean, his were very formulaic and really

full of heart, I thought.

Yeah, it sort of ended right around Home Alone 2.

He did Beethoven.

Remember the Big Dog movie?

Curly Sue.

Wow.

Yeah.

Curly Sue.

I think he took his own life.

He couldn't handle the shame of Curly Sue.

He's like, Curly Sue.

I can't do it.

What the hell happened?

I've tried for 17 years to live with that.

I can't.

I just can't.

Yeah, died of a heart attack, 59 years old in New York.

Wow.

Yeah.

It's too bad because he was, he literally, if you, and I didn't know it was all those movies, but I looked, I literally walked in to the store.

I don't remember what store it was.

It was all 1980s stuff.

And I said, I'm walking into my daughter.

I'm walking into a John Hughes movie.

And she said, who's that?

And I said, planes, trains, and automobiles.

And she's like, what does that have to do with this?

And I said, all of the clothing.

It's all coming back.

And run from it, kids.

Run from it.

Not good fashion sense in the 80s.

Isn't it not weird too, as well, as we talk,

we mentioned Home Alone with Macaulay Culkin, of course, that now, like, in one of the biggest shows, one of the biggest stars in one of the biggest shows is Kieran Culkin, who is in succession.

Right.

He's like the best character in that show.

He's incredible.

He is incredible.

And I didn't put that together until recently.

Yeah.

And you look at him, you're like, I can kind of see Macaulay Culkin there.

Yeah.

Like an older Macaulay Culkin.

And Kieran Culkin's incredible in that show, which is so weird.

I didn't even know he was an actor.

I didn't even know he existed, friend.

You know what I'm saying?

I was just like, you know what?

I have respect for you on there.

Okay, good.

I have a lot of respect for you.

You know, when people don't know people that you shouldn't know, you're like,

bless you.

But you have a life.

Thank you for your ignorance.

Thank you, Stu.

No, that's a good kind of ignorance, though.

American Financing.

A radio listener of ours, Michael, wrote in about his experience with American Finance.

He's been working with Thea at American Financing since we made the decision to refi.

She has been such a great help answering all of the questions, returning every phone call.

I got my answers in email.

I think she works 24-7.

Best of all, my wife and I didn't have to go to the closing.

The closing came to us.

We didn't have to take time off.

Thank you, Thea.

Thank you, American Financing.

You rock.

We've saved a ton of money.

The Glen Beck Program.

This is the Glen Beck Program.

We're glad you're here.

Pat Gray has joined us all day today.

Pat Gray Unleashed, of course.

Welcome, of course, Pat.

Thanks for hanging out today.

Oh, no.

Thank you.

Should mention that if you're looking for a wonderful holiday gift, I would recommend Kexie Cookies.

K-E-K-S-I.com.

Pat's cookie company is awesome.

Smart man.

It is legit awesome.

All guests stay at the Kexie Cookie Hotel.

Yes.

Made entirely out of cookies.

So it's good.

It's good.

A lot of people eat their rooms before they leave.

There's a new movie out that I cannot wait to see called American Underdog.

Oh, yeah.

This is Kurt Warner?

Kurt Warner.

Yeah, yeah.

Oh, it's going to be too.

I didn't grow up with, I mean, I don't follow sports, so I didn't, you know, I don't care about Kurt Warner, but it looks like one of those great football movies, you know, Invincible.

Yeah.

It looks like one of those.

And I guess you guys would know.

His story is incredible.

His story is nuts.

Incredible.

He was working at a grocery store.

Like right before he wound up getting a job,

he was in the Arena Football League for a while.

This is not a movie beforehand?

I mean, this is a great story.

He hasn't looked at it.

He's pretty long.

Yeah, he's fairly young.

He's, what, late 40s, maybe?

Early 50s?

Kurt?

No,

I've never met him.

I mean, he played into the mid-2010s, didn't he?

Yeah.

In 13, 14, something like that.

I don't know when he actually retired, but he played for a long time.

Maybe it was two years.

He was in the Hall of Fame.

We should get him on.

Let's see if we can get him on for the first of the year.

He'd be great because that's, I mean, that is truly, don't give up on your dreams.

Yeah.

And by all accounts, he's a really good guy, too.

He's like, you know, like he, everybody seems to love him and, and his story is incredible.

And he is a legit Hall of Famer.

I mean, he's one of the, you know, I mean, those teams, those greatest show on turf teams were, they were good.

The best offenses I think I've ever seen.

American Underdog is the name of the movie, and I can't wait to see it.

I think it's opened in select cities now.

Does it open wide on Christmas Day?

I think that's when.

Yeah, maybe.

Maybe.

I'm not sure, but it looks great.

Are there any other Christmas movies or any movies opening up?

Movies are so weird now.

This used to be a huge time to release movies.

And I can't think of anything that is coming out besides this one.

And they can't figure out really what to do yet.

You know, in this kind of weird place we're in with the pandemic, should we release the movies in theaters?

Should we release them at home?

Should they be in both?

They're trying to find the right balance there.

And I think they're really scared.

Here's what you need to say: California, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, grow up.

Illinois, grow up, grow a set, go to the movie theater, stop wearing the mask.

What's wrong with you?

Okay, that's

holiday advice.

The Spider-Man movie comes out on the 17th, which is today.

So Spider-Man is out in

wide-release theaters today.

Nightmare Alley is another one that is out.

I've seen commercials for.

I don't know.

Oh, that's with,
