This holiday season, grab the protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

It's a built bar.

Better than a candy bar.

Is that ruby chocolate?

Does that taste?

I give my glasses.

I'm not sure.

I think that's what that is.

And I don't know what ruby chocolate is.

Yeah, ruby chocolate cheese.

Can we get a little taste test here?

Oh, no.

Now, that's like the marshmallow.

Puff.

Yeah, they're called puff.

What's the chocolate flavor?

It's kind of like a berry-ish?

Yeah,

it's like a

marshmallow cheesecake

with berry compote on it.

Oh my gosh, that sounds amazing.

It is.

It is.

I'm having a little celebration in my mouth right now.

Well, as you're doing that, you let people know that Beck 15 is the code to use.

You'll get 15% off your order.

Use the promo code Beck15 for 15% off at built.com.

It's built.com.

My thought was maybe if I read read that, you'd have time to finish chewing the last bite, but you just put another bite.

I'm going to put another bite in.

Joe's going to be late a couple minutes.

Okay.

This is delicious.

Builds.com.

The code is Beck15.

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

This

is

the Glenback program.

Well,

I think we showed him a thing or two.

Yeah, that's right.

Have you even seen the first minute of the Putin-Biden phone conversation?

Oh my gosh, why would we release this?

They didn't release it.

We release this.

It is so humiliating.

And you can see on Putin's face, he knows exactly who and what he's dealing with.

We're going to stop there.

Also,

we talked to Mr.

Rittenhouse yesterday, Kyle Rittenhouse.

He is going to be on the TV show tonight.

I met him for the first time.

We sat down and we recorded tonight's TV show.

I'm going to play cuts of it.

I've got a lot to say about Kyle Rittenhouse.

He is not

who the media is making him out to be.

In fact, I don't even think he is the guy I thought he was.

He's a fascinating, fascinating dude.

We'll talk about that.

Coming up, first Putin and Biden in 60 seconds.

Reading all kinds of stuff today about how inflation, the new numbers come out on Friday.

We have 6.2% inflation.

That's at a 30-year high.

They're expecting it to be up at 6.7%

inflation.

But it's transitory until it's not.

And they announced last week that it's not.

Saw another thing that said people are running out of money.

You remember the big thing was, Americans have more money than they've ever had before in the bank.

All of it's gone now.

And everybody is feeling this inflation.

You need to save money.

Please call American Financing.

They've been helping people just like you for over 20 years.

Salary-based mortgage consultants that work for you, not the bank.

And they can help you save hundreds of dollars a month, maybe as much as $1,000 a month.

We don't know what the future holds, but we can look at what's happening right now and kind of guess next year might be a little rough.

The only lender I trust to do the job right, to save you money, is American Financing.

Call American Financing now, 800-906-2440 or AmericanFinancing.net.

And Vladimir Putin, what do you want for Christmas?

Well, I'd maybe like to take Ukraine back.

Oh,

well, I'd have to see if Joe Biden was asleep at the Switch.

Ho, ho, ho, ho, of course he is.

He always is.

Let me play, and if you happen to be watching the Blaze,

it's worth putting down your coffee or whatever and watching Vladimir Putin's face during this.

But listen how this started.

Joe Biden didn't have his mic on, so like an old grandpa, he's like fiddling with the dials.

I'm just looking at the dial trying to fiddle with his microphone.

Hello?

Oh my gosh, watch.

There you go.

Hello.

Good to see you again.

I uh

unfortunately

last time I saw we didn't get to see one another

smiling and looking off to the side.

It's good to see you again.

I uh

unfortunately

we didn't get to see one another at the G20.

I hope next time we meet we do it in person.

Do you see that expression?

Like, meh.

Maybe.

We'll see.

We'll see.

Maybe.

I don't know.

Putin is

an evil dude.

And

remember, he is, if you watch videos of him, his gun hand, when he was a KGB agent for so long, when he walks, both hands don't swing like a normal person walking.

Only one hand swings because he was trained to keep his hand where the revolver is.

And he's still the KGB strongman.

He is

way ahead of us and knows exactly what the deal is.

When Joe Biden got into office,

believe it or not, all this damage has been done in one year.

When he first got into office on January 20th, one of the first things he did was allow the pipeline to be built from Russia into Europe.

Now, if Donald Trump would have done that on one of his first days, would we not all be screaming?

I know I would have.

Whoa!

Is there a deal being brokered here?

How come that's happening on one of the first days?

That's a very, very big deal.

If Donald Trump would have done that, they would have used that as proof he was in bed with Vladimir Putin.

But nary a peep out of anyone.

So you know, this pipeline is the pipeline that Ronald Reagan warned about.

It's been a very big deal for a very long time.

So Putin, I mean, so Joe Biden gets in.

One of the first things he does, hey, let him build the pipeline.

What's the big deal?

Poland and Ukraine get on the phone and say, you can't do that.

Don't do that.

That makes him

more likely to invade our nations.

Ah, that's crazy talk.

We got him over the barrel.

Do you?

Do you?

How do you he started building the pipeline started building the pipeline four days after the inauguration of of joe biden four days

and now he's sitting there with all of the cards he's got poland he has ukraine he has europe he can squeeze the lifeblood out of them this holiday season this winter when it's freezing cold and everybody in the West is like, we got to do something about global warming.

Let's turn off the nuclear power plants that have nothing to do with global warming and are the safest kind of energy the world has ever invented.

Let's turn those off.

So as we're turning everything off, he's pumping more oil in.

And we're somehow or another going to stop him?

We're going to stop him.

Please play the cut of the National Security Advisor,

Biden's message to Putin, cut six.

Their assessment so far was that Putin had not made a decision over whether to invade Ukraine.

So did President Biden get clarity from him on whether or not that is his intention?

We still do not believe that President Putin has made a decision.

What President Biden did today was lay out very clearly the consequences if he chooses to move.

He also laid out an alternative path, an alternative path that is fundamentally in keeping with the basic principles and propositions that have guided America in the Euro-Atlantic area for the past 70 years.

And ultimately, we will see in the days ahead through actions, not through words,

what course of action Russia chooses to take.

Well, he's got,

I mean,

he laid it out.

You do that.

There are going to be

economic ramifications for Vladimir Putin.

And don't laugh that off.

I mean, in just a few short months, Joe Biden has almost destroyed our economy.

Imagine if he really sets his mind to Russia.

I mean, it's

insane.

It's insane.

He's carrying a small stick and barking loudly.

He does the opposite.

You know, Donald Trump was the least war-mongering president I've seen in my lifetime.

Every president has talked the same game, except for Donald Trump.

And not saying that they all wanted war, but they all played the State Department's game.

And we played the same game over and over and over.

The only one that kind of broke it was Ronald Reagan.

And he spooked the hell out of the Russians.

Caused them to spend all kinds of money.

Scared the hell out of them.

And what happened?

They collapsed.

We had peace.

Donald Trump played this expertly.

Because is there any doubt in your mind that if Putin or China or anybody else would have really done something against our national interests,

that he would have gone in balls to the wall?

No doubt in my mind, Donald Trump would push the button, he would execute a plan and he would win.

However, if it's not in our national interest,

he's not going in.

He wouldn't be going in to Ukraine

if Russia attacks.

So if you're not going to go in, what do you do?

You have to carry a big stick.

You want peace.

You carry a big stick.

and you have a twitchy eye.

And you're like, don't do it.

Don't do it, man.

Don't.

Cause I, I, man, holy cow, my, my eye is twitching and my hand is kind of vibrating on the button right now.

I just might do it.

And that's what keeps people like Putin at bay.

Not Joe Biden.

Joe Biden, you know,

he gave them what they wanted,

the Nord Stream pipeline.

He did it even when Ukraine and Poland were screaming, please don't do that.

He did it anyway because he knew better.

Then what was his second mistake?

His second mistake was Afghanistan.

When he pulls out of Afghanistan, screws all of our allies, NATO almost falls apart.

He looks completely weak.

That's his second problem.

His third problem is there were no repercussions for anyone on Afghanistan.

He still thinks it was fine.

There was no repercussion for anybody in the Pentagon.

Do you trust your kids to be a soldier under this regime?

With the people in the Pentagon?

I've always said, you know, the president is the president, but the Pentagon, they're at least competent.

I don't believe that anymore.

I believe the soldiers are the military, but the people they take their commands from, they're morons, morons.

So yesterday they were asked,

So are we planning for evacuation in case he does something in Ukraine and we can get the Americans out?

You know, the White House responded with

not the same situation.

No, I mean,

we don't have to plan those things.

You know,

we've got contingency plans on everything.

No, you don't.

No, you don't.

Because you knew what was coming in Afghanistan and you didn't do it.

The question, follow-up, did you learn any lessons from Afghanistan?

Let's not confuse these two.

I mean, Afghanistan required us to quickly get Americans out of a war zone.

And this is nothing like that.

If Russia invades, it would be us getting Americans out of a war zone.

So I think you can see, they just don't compare.

Putin, if Putin goes in,

God forbid this country goes to war.

If Putin goes in,

you better have some tough damn sanctions because you just sold the freedom of an entire country out.

For what, Joe?

For what?

What did you get from Russia

by okaying this pipeline?

I don't think his son was an artist yet, so I don't know if he sold any art.

But what was it that we as the United States got in exchange for that besides the loss of freedom for an entire country?

And if he does invade,

I can guarantee you Taiwan will be next.

And then we are a nobody country.

A nobody country.

And I don't have a problem with not being the world's policeman.

I actually kind of like that.

Be nice nice to kick up your feet once in a while and be Canada,

not have to worry about everybody else.

But I'm telling you, we're the world's reserve currency.

When we are nothing, so is our money.

And that's when, well, let me just put it this way, it'll be good by 2030 because you'll own nothing

and you'll like it.

Build Build back better.

Tim lives in Maine.

He writes in about his dog Sugar and her experience with rough greens after being a picky eater.

He says, I've been using rough greens for close to two years now.

Sugar's almost 10 and has a better appetite than I've seen in three years.

Thank you, Rough Greens.

Boy, I didn't mean to say that Sugar was a girl dog.

I don't know.

I don't know what her pronouns are.

She could identify as a wolf,

a she-dog, or a he-dog.

I don't know.

But Tim, thank you for taking such good care of it.

Sounds like Sugar is living a much happier and healthier life.

So is Uno.

He identifies as a male, a big German shepherd.

Put your neck into his entire mouth and just squeeze, kind of alpha male

German Shepherd.

And he likes that, especially if he thinks your throat is a squeeze toy.

Rough greens is not a dog food.

It's something something you put on the dog food.

It's a supplement filled with all the things that makes your dog healthier and happier.

Most dogs love it.

Uno adores it, wolfs it down.

He is happier, healthier, full of energy, just like sugar.

Free bag of rough greens for your dog to try out.

All you do is pay for the shipping.

Just see if your dog likes it at roughgreens.com/slash back.

Free bag, pay for shipping, roughgreens.com/slash back, or call 833-Glenn33.

10 seconds, station ID.

Oh, man.

Well, the Commission is back, the Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court.

And they voted unanimously in favor of approving their final report and sending it to President Biden's desk.

So what did these 34 experts, which held six public meetings, called 44 witnesses?

Stu, what could they have possibly said?

They said

they didn't really come up with anything.

That's exactly right.

They said out of the 34 people, given the size and nature of the commission and the complexity of the issues addressed, individual members of the commission would have written a report with different emphases and approaches.

But the Commission submits this report today in the belief that it represents a fair and constructive treatment of the complex and also often highly controversial issues it was charged with examining.

No serious person in either major political party suggests court packing as a means of overturning dislike Supreme Court decisions, whether the decision in question is Roe v.

Wade or Citizens United.

Scholars could say, until very recently, that

even as compared to other court reform efforts, court packing is especially out of bounds.

That's part of the Convention of Judicial Independence.

But the Commission has decided to take no position on the validity or strength of those claims.

Okay, so we got 34 experts together and they have come back and said, you know what?

We're just going to give you the arguments.

You decide we can't.

I'm in the wrong business.

That's what you need to do.

You get a nice long commission.

You take your time.

You do a bunch of meetings.

You come back at the end, say, we didn't figure anything out.

Sorry.

That's fantastic.

You get a government job.

That's all government jobs.

And then

you can't blame it on us because we said both things.

We said both things.

Now, this was never a legitimate commission in the first place, right?

I mean, this was always Joe Biden's out to not have to deal with this issue, to not have to say to his own base

that

we're not going to pack the court, and to not have to say to potential moderate voters, we are going to pack the court.

Right?

So he's, oh, we're going to do a commission.

We're going to talk about all these issues.

We're going to figure it out.

See what we should do going forward.

And of course, there was nothing there.

There never was anything there.

This is a horrible idea.

Let's see what happens if they overturn Roe versus Wade because this will be the thing.

We've got to change the court.

Court packing.

We'll have to

become very fashionable.

It'll be very fashionable.

And I don't know that will go well with the American people.

The American people are much more in favor of Mississippi's abortion rules

than the rules that the Democrats want, which is no limits.

Polling on this issue is terrible because

both sides can find things that completely support their view.

I've looked at a lot of this polling over the years and had to analyze it many, many times.

What you really see when it comes to the polling is that Americans don't want abortion to be completely illegal, but they want it to be more less

than

rare

and safe.

Yeah, safe, legal, and rare.

That's what they want.

But it's important to note, not legal like it is now.

They want it to be more restricted than it is now.

They just don't want it to be completely eliminated for whatever terrible reason.

Correct.

And that's the American people are on the side of reason and common sense in almost every way.

It's why we used to

presidents go back to the center and go and govern from middle ground and common sense.

Because that's where the American people live, not at these wild extremes.

This is the Glenback program.

Not that saving babies is extreme.

That should be on our to-do list.

every day.

Our financial overlords have seen to it that meat is now a luxury item.

Oh, I'm so full of joy.

I went Christmas shopping last night for my wife for Christmas.

Oh, it was delightful.

Delightful.

Wonderful.

Wonderful.

Didn't get a damn thing.

Didn't get a damn thing.

Everything I, you know, do you have this in a size?

No.

Okay.

How about this one?

Nope.

Do you have this in a size?

No.

How about this in a black?

Oh.

Let me.

No.

I mean, it just.

A supply chain thing or supply chain thing.

Jeez.

Supply chain thing.

And the guy told me, he said, you know what, the real problem is, is people are coming in and they're buying things in sizes that they know are wrong, but they're just buying them because they want to put something under the Christmas tree and they figure, well, she can exchange it for the right size when her ship comes in.

Yeah.

If it ever comes in.

If it ever comes in.

It's crazy.

Yeah.

It's crazy.

And most people are really having a hard time.

I kind of actually like this because we've way downscaled Christmas this year.

Just way downscaled it.

We're doing, you know, we're giving gifts to other people and whatever and not in the family, we're just keeping it very, very simple, which is nice.

Should we be Pat and I expecting something nice?

Nope.

Nope.

So that's the part of the

scale, Death.

Are you needy?

Yes.

You're not getting a darn thing.

Not a darn thing.

You know what you can get?

Socks from shop.blazemedia.com.

Socks.

We have the new.

Can I get them?

Are we selling those?

We are selling those.

How do you know?

I know.

I don't.

I just.

How do you know we're selling those?

So these are the Let's Go Brandon socks.

Yeah.

And have you seen, have you actually seen them yet?

Yeah.

Well, I've seen them from the

49 emails I got yesterday.

They're fantastic.

Now, some might look at the Let's Go.

Can you bring that full screen again?

Some might look at the Let's Go Brandon one on the far right and say, why is there a butt?

And then poop on that.

That was my question as well.

Was it?

They gave it a name.

They say, look at those.

Do you know what it is?

I did find out when I asked.

Yeah, you have to ask, but do you know what?

Do you figure it out?

That's from Biden's trip to see the Pope.

Biden pushed his pants.

Oh, the rumor that he pushed his pants.

Was it a rumor?

Like El Roker did.

Well, I mean, it was a rumor until it was confirmed on these socks.

Yeah.

Now we know it was socks to tell us.

And we didn't make them.

Sock company made them.

Blaze Socks.com, BlazeSocks.com.

And sock companies can't lie.

No, they can't.

So you know it's true.

You know it's true.

So

I have Kyle Rittenhouse on tonight.

I want to get to a couple of cuts with him.

But I also, this is really important that we talk about something that happened in Dallas yesterday.

It was, it's actually on the second, so it was six days ago.

But

it doesn't lessen the severity of this.

They're praising a canine dog because a canine dog hit on some luggage, on a passenger's luggage at Dallas Love Field.

The dog, they even named the dog Ballantyne, alerted on an individual checked suitcase.

It turns out, get this,

it turns out that the suitcase belonged to 25-year-old, a 25-year-old woman from Chicago who was carrying $106,829 on her.

And

that's illegal

from her.

As you know, in the United States, it's illegal to carry cash.

No, it's not.

Well, no, it's really

so they took it.

No, it's not.

So they took it.

But she got it back.

No, she did not get it back.

Well, they charged her.

No, they didn't charge her with it either.

No, but they suspected.

They don't even suspect anything.

At least as far as the article is concerned, they don't even mention suspicion here.

There's no allegation.

There's no charge.

There's no suspicion.

A dog hit, they took.

That's it.

You talk insanity.

Such

a sanity.

If you have a hundred and you have a hundred thousand dollars, I can guarantee there's some $20 bills in there that smell to a dog very much like cocaine.

Yeah.

You know what I mean?

Can I play the role here, though?

Well, why was she carrying $106,000 for carrying

it?

Yeah.

Derry did it.

No, that doesn't

matter.

No, that doesn't matter.

No.

That makes no never mind.

Yeah, but what was she carrying that money for?

I don't know.

Probably something nefarious.

Could be, but we don't know, so they shouldn't have taken it.

No.

Yeah, well, but the dog knew.

The dog.

The dog knew.

You hear this all the time.

Serial killers, the neighbors will always say, I didn't see anything, but my dog.

Smelled it.

My dog knew.

Every time he'd walked by, he'd bark.

We should have taken all of the things that he had in his house.

Should have done it.

Bees know, and dogs know.

Dogs know.

And so they arrested.

They didn't arrest her.

She's not been charged.

And again, she's not even on vacation or wherever she was going at the time.

We don't.

I mean, this is all for money now.

See ya.

This is a little blip in the road.

Go have a good time.

There's another story, too, in Massachusetts where a woman lost her car.

It was her son.

Kids' car.

And this was a lot of fun.

He was suspected of something.

Was suspected of being

years ago, right?

By

someone who was dealing in, was suspected in dealing in drugs.

Now, that was not proven.

The car was taken on March 4th, 2015.

We could all celebrate she got it back this year.

Yeah.

Wow.

Well, she had to fight.

It only took her five years.

That's not bad.

She had to fight for it in court.

And she said afterwards,

you know, the Massachusetts law allows innocent owners to seek the return of their assets.

Unless they knew or should have known that such conveyance or real property was used in and for the business of unlawfully manufacturing, dispensing, or distributed controlled substances.

But

like the federal government and most states, Massachusetts requires the owners to prove their innocence.

So she had to prove her innocence, and she did.

And it only

five and a half years.

Thank you,

how are they getting away with this?

I know.

Over and over and over and over.

Because it doesn't affect most people.

And most people will say, what was she carrying $100,000 around for?

Right.

No, and

look, that is an odd thing to do through an airport.

So what?

So what?

So what?

She gets to do whatever she wants with her money as long as

they don't prove a case against her.

This case with the car,

luckily the Goldwater Institute got involved in this case.

The only reason that she got her car back.

Get the number of the Goldwater Institute and write it down and put it in your wallet because someday you may need the Goldwater Institute.

No kidding.

In the motion, they say Massachusetts does not provide any deadline, any deadline from which the Commonwealth is required to initiate forfeiture proceedings.

That's unbelievable.

They could just hold on to it forever and never have the proceeding at all.

And think about a car for a second.

You have a 2015 car and you don't have it until 2021.

Number one, you have to pay for six years of transportation after you've already purchased a car.

You have to figure out how to get yourself around for six years.

Then you get the car back, which is now six years older.

What happens when a car ages six years and it doesn't, it's not even being driven.

It's a classic.

It's now an NT?

It's a classic.

The value of the car goes down.

It was an infinity.

It's now a 2011 infinity in 2021.

Now, luckily, because of supply chain issues, it may be worth $500,000 right now.

So good luck.

Here's what Elon Musk said yesterday, and this is absolutely right.

He was talking about another subject, but this one goes right to

asset forfeiture.

Elon Musk, quote, it doesn't make sense to to take the job of capital allocation away from the people with a demonstrated great skill in capital allocation and give it to an entity that has demonstrated very poor skill in capital allocation.

Think of the government as essentially a corporation to the extreme limit.

The government is simply the biggest corporation with a monopoly on violence and where you have no recourse.

Amen.

It's true.

Amen.

Yep.

This is why you have small government.

All right.

Back with some audio of the Kyle Rittenhouse interview that is going to happen tonight at 9 p.m.

Standby.

Pat, hang out for a minute.

Turns out buying and selling a house can really suck.

Yeah, yeah, believe it or not.

Big shocker.

It's not as

simple as exchanging a set of keys for a big fat check.

On the selling end, you have inspections and repairs and remodeling.

Finally, having to take care of all those things that your wife has been asking you to do for years around the place, you now actually have to do them.

And then on the buying end, you don't know exactly sometimes where to look for the right house.

The kitchen may look great in the pictures, but it turns out to be made of cardboard.

I mean,

you're going to get hungry at some point.

This is why real estate agentsitrust.com came in to be.

So Kyle Rittenhouse is on

tonight on my Wednesday night special at 9 p.m.

He's a very different guy than you think

he is, I think.

You know, you don't know anything about him.

You know now he's not a white supremac vigilante.

You know that he has been found not guilty, but who is he really?

And I was,

I was,

it was

pretty profound realization to me on how much of a kid this guy is.

I mean, you know, we know he's 18 years old.

He's going to

he is not,

he's not, he's a regular kid.

You know, at 17,

he had to quit school so he could go and help.

He held three jobs so he could help pay for the rent and the food in the house because mom didn't have it.

Wow.

So

he's going out of school and he's just working.

He's not paying attention to politics.

None of it.

He only gets involved in Kenosha because that's where his dad lives.

And his friend and his aunt and uncle and cousin, and a bunch of

his jobs is there.

So

he knows the area.

And,

you know, that's why he was involved.

But everyone, I think tons of people went through that during that period.

I remember my wife driving around

one person defend our community when there were threats of riots going on.

I mean, you see your sanity burning down.

You feel like you need to do something.

I had a neighbor call me and say, we're all going going to meet at your house if things happen.

And we'll defend it from your house.

And I'm like, okay.

Yeah.

I mean, my house is definitely the one we should defend.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Let the other ones burn.

So anyway, I talked to him about many things.

About, does he have nightmares?

Will he ever pick up a gun again?

How does he feel about guns?

Him going to college.

He's saying he's going to, he's not going to take it online.

He's going to.

Arizona State.

Yeah, Arizona State ASU.

And

he's enrolled and going.

We also talked to him about lawsuits.

And there's some interesting things on that.

Let me just play this.

Rittenhouse, will you ever pick up a gun again?

Listen to this.

Will you ever pick up a gun again?

I don't know.

What is your view of guns now?

I believe everybody has a Second Amendment right.

I believe in the Constitution.

Have you touched one since?

I haven't.

Other than the museum.

Yeah.

I saw your guys' beautiful museum, and I was looking at your very

old weapons you guys have.

Yeah, from the Revolutionary War.

Yes.

So they don't scare you at all.

No.

Good.

So you put a gun back in Kyle Rittenhouse's hand.

There's your headline.

Flintlock.

He goes wild with that flintlock, too.

That was interesting.

Because, you know, you get the sense.

The thing about him that you notice, and you had mentioned this, that

he's a teenager.

You sit across the table from him.

He looks three years younger in real life than TV.

Easy.

I felt like I was sitting there talking to my son.

Wow.

It's interesting, though, but he was very, seemingly very well trained on his firearm.

Like he knew, he knew where his hands needed to be.

He did everything right in those moments.

Thank God, or he'd be in prison for the rest of his life but he he was he was restrained with it he was doing the things that you're supposed to do that look at the difference between not to call them out but like the people the the couple in uh in st.

Louis remember when people were breaking into their degated community they're out there with like fingers on the trigger out you know how about

Baldwin

Alec Baldwin who shoots somebody and then says I didn't pull the trigger it wasn't me or point it he didn't point it he didn't point it it didn't pull the trigger and he bears no responsibility for it yeah so that's that doesn't really work Alec.

That's a bizarre claim.

Yeah, it is a really bizarre claim.

But it was interesting that

someone who at 17 or 18 years old knows how to use a firearm like that, you'd think would be someone who is a big part of their life.

And

he doesn't come off there coming up like, of course, I'm going to be doing commercials for gun companies.

No,

he's the opposite of that.

He doesn't want all of this.

I asked him, I said, so then why the media tour?

Why are you speaking to everybody?

He said, because I'll talk until my side is out.

He said, nobody has heard my side, and I think everybody needs to hear from me.

That's great.

And he's a really thoughtful kid, but he's a kid.

He's a kid.

I think you'll walk away liking him more

than even you may have already.

But he's not somebody who wants to be the president or run for Congress or be a spokesman.

He doesn't doesn't want to be.

He's not even an activist, right?

No.

He's not leading parades down the street in protests.

He's not that guy.

He's not going to become the, what was that guy's name, the Parkland shooter?

Yeah.

Pig or what was his pig?

Pig?

I'm pretty sure it wasn't pig.

Oh, gosh.

He said pig, and I was like, what is he talking about?

No, it was David Hogg.

David Hogg.

David Hogg.

That's what it was.

Oh, my God, David.

You're right.

It was David.

David Hogg, yeah.

It was close.

I was like, legitimately.

It was close.

The rain is an amazing coin.

I I don't know how you got there.

That was amazing.

You don't want to see his mind palace.

It's a spooky place.

It is.

But yeah, he's not going to become that guy.

He doesn't want to be that guy.

And I hope he doesn't become that guy.

I hope he can go back to school

and live his life and do what he wants.

He told me, too, now he's...

You know, he was thinking about being a fireman or something like that, and he's had a career change,

kind of an epiphany.

and you'll hear about that and so much more tonight at 9 p.m.

on Blaze TV don't miss it

so people always ask me all the time Glenn do you really believe in the clients you talk about on the air this is a picture of me I just have to show it here on my iPad this is a picture of me this is our backyard and

that is the new product I'm going to talk to you about and I was using it before I knew they were going to be a client of mine.

That's cool.

My Fireside.

It is.

There is something about sitting around the fire at night with your family.

We don't share those times anymore.

And there is something about a real fire that you can see.

And these, My Fireside is this beautiful, solid, durable, heavy-duty stainless steel fire pit.

And you can choose

custom sides for it, but you see the fire through it.

And that is really important.

So, you know, whether you want to see your fire through Let's Go Brandon or the American Flag or whatever it is you want, plus 3% of the sales go to Semper Fi and America's Fund.

Go to myfireside.com.

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

This

is

the Glenback program.

Some breaking news.

Pfizer says three doses of their vaccine will improve protection against Omicron.

So that's good.

That's good news, I guess.

Just take three of those doses, and it won't stop it.

It'll protect you.

So it'll be a little bit better.

So,

I mean, so you won't feel those flu-like symptoms.

That's all you have to do.

Just take three of the doses, and you won't feel the flu-like symptoms.

Okay.

We have more on that because Stu

just made Stu very angry.

He's like,

Not at all.

Not at all.

Covering the news well, as usual.

Also, I want to talk to you about the banks.

Wow, it's really interesting what Citi just decided to do.

Citibank, it's almost like the great reset

isn't a hoax.

The news on what the bank is doing now in 60 seconds.

Imagine if you were literally paying somebody, overpaying them, in in fact, to come into your home every day and beat you over the head with a club.

Believe it or not, that's pretty much what you're doing if you're getting your cell phone service through big mobile companies like Verizon and AT ⁇ T, because they charge you through the nose, then they hit you over the head with their woke nonsense and their contributions to evil causes,

you know, like Planned Parenthood.

Hey, come on in.

Is that you, Big Mobile?

Come on in with that big club and beat me over the head.

Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian conservative mobile provider.

They offer broad, nationwide coverage.

In fact, they're on the same cell towers as all the major carriers.

Patriot Mobile has plans to fit any budget and their 100% U.S.-based customer service support team

provides exceptional service.

More importantly, Patriot Mobile.

They share your values and support organizations fighting for religious freedom and constitutional rights.

So get great service, a fraction of the cost, and not get clubbed over the head every month by Big Mobile.

It's

slash Beck or call 972 Patriot, 972 Patriot or patriotmobile.com slash back.

Okay, I just, this is,

this is going to be really good.

Now, Stu,

how would you describe what I said ESG scores were going to mean in the banking industry?

ESG environment,

governance, and social justice, right?

That's the ESG, what they stand for.

And the basic concept,

and I know you go into much more depth on this in your new book, The Great Reset, which is coming out in January.

But in the basic story.

For a general, what your take is on that?

Basic concept is

you just being a profitable business is not enough.

You need to hit these

standards that make the world better by their view.

And the ESG standard is like basically going to give you a score.

Do you do the things that essentially the left wants you to do with your business or even in your personal life?

So if you are, for example, buying a gas guzzler car, your ESG score would be lower.

If you're donating to anti-LGBTQ causes, you would be seen as, that would be a negative in your ESG score.

And so these things would punish you and maybe you would get rejected by banks.

Maybe you wouldn't get the loans, the banking services you need.

Maybe you get higher rates.

That's crazy.

Does that,

that's it.

That's it.

But that's, remember, that's crazy.

Because I said this about Merrill Lynch.

Merrill Lynch is now posting ESG scores, your ESG score.

Did you know you had one?

Posting it?

Posting it.

What does that mean posting it?

Posting it.

You go sign into your Merrill Lynch account and you will see your ESG score.

ESG score.

Oh, my God.

Based on what you are investing in.

Okay, so

if you want your ESG score to go up, you better reallocate some of the money and get out of some of these brown industries.

Right.

And then you get this thing that goes on where...

People now will start lobbying to have positive ESG.

This is happening with nuclear energy right now, where they're trying to get nuclear energy to be a good thing for your ESG.

Because it is.

Because it is, at least for the environmental part of that,

you know, no emissions and everything.

And they want to develop new nuclear energy, but they can't do it until they get this

stamp of approval from the ESG master.

Okay, so back in March, I said Merrill Lynch had put this up and they were going to use this now to start judging you.

Merrill Lynch

and Bank of America responded immediately, the fastest response to anything I've ever seen in literally in anything we've ever done.

It was an immediate response.

And they said, many of our self-directed clients have expressed an interest in implying an ESG lens to investment opportunities.

And I'll define ESG lens in a second.

But a lot of clients say they want to look at investments that they're considering making and looking at them through the lens of environmental, social, and governance information.

And this is just to help them assess the opportunities and the risks if they want to.

It's completely optional.

These ratings are available.

Not everybody uses them, but

they have absolute no impact on any individual's credit or the ability to access any of our other services at all.

That was back in March.

Now that's Bank of America.

Let me give you this story from Citigroup today in Bloomberg.

Citigroup.

will eventually expect borrowers to have a credible plan for measuring and reducing their carbon carbon footprint as part of the bank's pledge to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions.

So they have made a promise to the globe, I promise you,

that we're going to have zero net emissions on all the loans that we make.

We will not hurt Big Blue.

We're not going to do it who loves his hurt.

So

for them to have no emissions, zero net emissions, that means they can't loan any money out to people who are investing in

brown industries.

What's your ESG score?

Who are you investing in?

Because we can't invest in you if you're investing in anything brown.

The firm says they are still formulating plans for how it will go about pulling off its pledge.

Chief Executive Officer Jane Frazier said Tuesday at the Wall Street Journal CEO Council conference, when asked how the firm would respond to

a natural gas driller looking for a 30-year loan to build infrastructure, Frazier said, well, it'll start with a conversation.

If they don't have a credible plan and they're not able to come up with targets and metrics and disclosures, then it'll be a shorter conversation.

Citigroup's climate plans are a key push for Frazier, who made the pledge to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 on her first day.

Frazier was one of the many financiers who descended on Glasgow earlier this year for a climate summit, where she called for global leaders to set consistent sustainability standards that would make it easier for clients to invest in green projects.

She said her firm isn't a fan of the idea of simply asking clients to dispose of any so-called brown assets, which would just shift the problem to a new owner.

She cautioned that banks also have to consider the ramifications of quickly pulling support for carbon-laden industries without any backup plan.

If we're shutting down a lot of brown assets in certain communities, and then we're not providing alternative employment sources and driving finances into local entrepreneurs and building out the alternatives, this is going to be a very unpleasant and socially unpleasant transition that we all have to go through.

No, we actually don't all have to go through that.

No, huh?

No, you're deciding, you and those of you in Davos.

This is the Davos plan.

You know, you always say, oh, man, they're all just these great guys going to the ski resort, you know, talk about money and things.

And it's great that they're all getting together in Davos.

This, the great reset, is from Davos.

It is the Davos plan.

I don't know about you, but I haven't been invited to Davos in quite a long time.

Oh, in fact, never.

Have you?

Your voice isn't being heard in this.

You're just going to have to go through that

really socially unpleasant transition that we all have to go through.

Because why?

Why do we have to go through this?

Oh, that's right.

Because they've decided.

You don't have a say in it.

So when they said, you know,

we're not going to do this, you know, on loans,

That's ridiculous.

It's not going to have an effect on anybody.

Yes, yes, it is.

Yes, it is.

This is one step closer now

to the great reset.

This is one step closer to you not being able to get a loan for something you want to do.

And if you want to buy a dirty old house, oh my gosh, what are your plans to make sure that that's a greenhouse?

What are your plans to make sure that that doesn't take all that oil to heat that house?

I mean, we'll help you.

You just have to take out a loan, you know, to make sure you do all that.

That might be a loan you can't afford, then maybe you shouldn't have the house.

But we can sell it to somebody like BlackRock, who has the money and they have the credibility with the bank to be able to turn that into a green, green house.

And then you can rent it from them.

See how this is working?

It's it's it's it's insanity.

But let me give you this from the New York Times.

I love this.

Saul Amarova, a Cornell Law School professor whom critics painted as a communist after President Biden picked her for a key banking

regulator job.

She withdrew from consideration for the post on Tuesday.

In a letter to the wife.

That's sad, by the way.

That's sad.

Is it?

Yeah, I mean, because we talked so much about her, and it didn't seem like anybody else knew anything about her.

I don't remember anything.

There was nobody else talking about it.

This audience by itself basically made this one happen, and thank God it did.

She is,

well, you just look up some of her hit quotes.

I'm just going to read what the New York Times said about her.

In a letter to the White House, Ms.

Omarova said it was no longer tenable for her to seek the position of comptroller of the currency.

Mr.

Biden, who said Ms.

Omarova had lived the American dream by escaping her birthplace in the former Soviet Union.

I'm sorry, did she escape?

Did she escape?

No, she was over here on an educational visa.

She was over here when the Soviet Union fell.

So she didn't escape.

In fact, she loved the Soviet Union.

She thought it was a pretty great place.

Saul would have been...

She would have brought invaluable insight and perspective to our important work on behalf of the American people, he said.

But unfortunately, from the very beginning of her nomination, Saul was subjected to inappropriate personal attacks that were far beyond the pale.

Oh my gosh.

What were some of those personal attacks, Du?

Oh my gosh.

Well, I, first of all, the New York Times in their tweet about this story, I think, nailed it.

They said she's a Cornell law professor whom President Biden picked for a key banking regulator job.

She's withdrawing.

Bank lobbyists and Republicans painted her as a communist because she was born in the Soviet Union.

Yeah, it's xenophobia.

It was just because she was born there.

Now, it's weird because I don't remember painting Melania Trump as a communist because she was born in the Soviet Union.

Maybe you thought it.

That's a dog whistle stew.

Really?

Yeah, we all thought it.

Dog whistle, dog whistle.

I don't remember

communists.

That's what we were all thinking.

No, we actually were like, this is an amazing story of women who was born.

Why isn't this a big deal?

Right.

Somebody's incredible.

Yeah.

And no one seemed to care about it at all, including the New York Times.

Well, the New York Times might have had a little bit in their dog whistle racism and xenophobia.

You know, they might have thought, well, if Melania is with Donald Trump, of course he has an affinity to Russia because she's a communist.

Ms.

Amaroma faced months of criticism from Republicans and bank lobbyists who cast her as a threat to the American economy.

Lobbyists began to oppose her almost as soon as her nomination was announced, saying she wanted to replace the banking industry's functions with services provided by the Federal Reserve.

They pointed to a 2020 paper that she had written about the ways the Fed could use its own digital currency with central bankers that had already begun to consider creating.

As comptroller, she would have had to coordinate with bank regulators at the Federal Reserve, but would not have the authority to make changes to the banking system's structure, dummy.

Some lobbyists, including the incoming chairman of a group representing community bankers and the chief executive of another group that focuses on big banks also shared a Wall Street Journal editorial suggesting that Ms.

Amarova's Soviet childhood meant she couldn't be trusted.

Now, I will tell you, I read that Wall Street Journal, and it is her childhood in the Soviet Union that made me go, hmm, can we trust her?

She wasn't playing with Lincoln logs.

They weren't talking about Lincoln over in the Soviet Union.

Can we trust her?

Because she wasn't playing with a chatty Kathy doll.

Oh, no.

No.

It was a Soviet doll.

This is the craziest things I've ever heard.

Republicans

in Congress mimicked the lobbyist criticism, saying Miss Amorova's academic work and her Soviet origins should disqualify her.

Yeah, her academic work should have.

In exchange, in an exchange that drew gasps from Democrats during Ms.

Omarova's hearing before the Senate Banking Committee, Senator John Kennedy, Republican of Louisiana, demanded that he know whether or not Ms.

Amarova had ever resigned from a communist youth group that Soviet children were forced to join.

I don't know whether to call you professor or comrade, he said.

But the Republican opposition would not have mattered had Senate Democrats been united in favor of Ms.

Amorova.

Her nomination was ultimately doomed by a lack of support from moderates, making her the Biden administration's third high-profile nominee to bow out.

Okay, let me ask you this.

If your

problem came from your Democratic moderates,

Then she probably isn't a moderate to most Democrats because you only have a few moderates left that you haven't taken out back and shot in the head.

And if it was those moderates, it's really not the xenophobic,

crazed callings and cat calls from Republicans.

It is really truly, you don't like a moderate candidate.

Every candidate you're putting up is saying crazy things like, we should close all of the banks and there should only be one bank, the Fed.

And the Fed will just open up accounts for everybody and all of the loans and everything can be done by the Federal Reserve.

That doesn't sound like a very American idea.

And if that is the new America, then I don't want any part of that.

And yes, I will fight against a bank monopoly held by our federal government or worse yet, five private corporations that kind of pose as government.

Glenn Beck and Kyle Rittenhouse go one-on-one tonight.

The real villain of the Rittenhouse story.

I actually talked to him, did this interview yesterday.

It's going to air tonight.

We'll play some clips here in a minute.

He's a fascinating guy, and I don't think the guy everybody thinks he is.

Everybody thinks he's some sort of a

conservative crusader.

He's not.

He's not.

He's a kid.

And

I think a really decent,

nice kid.

But he is a kid, nonetheless.

And I said to him, has justice been served?

And he said,

yes.

I don't think it has.

Yeah, I disagree with him on that point.

Yeah.

Yeah.

He should have never been charged.

And until that, that sort of stuff is rectified and what happened to him in the media is rectified.

I said,

so they didn't get you.

Okay.

So you were found not guilty.

So justice has been served there,

but they're still calling you a racist white supremacist.

They're still doing it.

The press that ginned this whole thing up, until there's justice there, there won't be justice.

Until there's justice with this out-of-control prosecutor, that thing should have never come to court.

Never.

Should have never gone to court.

And yet it did.

Why?

Because the prosecutor

is either somebody who just cares about his approval ratings or was doing it because the mob said, but it had nothing to do with justice.

And that should be corrected.

That's when justice will be served.

And we should also point out the only reason he was able to do this interview with you, not in a jail cell, is because of conservative media members who risked their lives to film the footage and luckily caught it all because without that, he'd be imprisoned for the next 50 years or more.

Yeah, I talked to him about that.

Without the video coverage of the event and the video coverage in the trial, do you think you'd be free?

Here is Answer Tonight.

Kyle Rittenhouse, one-on-one with me, the real villain of the Rittenhouse story.

Tonight, 9 p.m., Blazetv.com.

Welcome to the Glenbeck program.

It is the holiday season, and it is time to spend time with your family and friends and reconnect reconnect with the things that are important.

And we need to reconnect.

It's been, you know, we're going on two years of lockdown madness in some states.

And

we feel

further from our family and our friends than I think we ever have.

I just spent some time with a friend of mine.

I went over to the house and I said, How long has it been?

Two years.

I mean, it's these two years have just disappeared on us.

Use the time to reconnect and reconnect with the real values.

There's a book out called Life on Christmas Eve.

It's a novel.

I told you about it before.

And it is a book written by one of my writers, the guy who,

I have two writers and researchers that are, you know, that's their primary, only real job, is to write the Wednesday night specials.

And Nathan Nipper is one of them.

And he takes two weeks to write one of those specials.

I, you know, I

do them every week, but these writers need, you know, need to skip every other one or something.

But so Nathan is one of the guys who writes.

And if you've ever watched any of our specials and thought, wow, that was really important, he's one of the guys responsible for it.

And he's written a book, Life on Christmas Eve, which has been in the works for how long?

I mean,

as a story over 10 years.

Yeah,

how did you find the time to write?

Because I work you to the bone.

Yeah.

How did you find time to write this?

I wouldn't have.

I actually wrote the first draft of that six years ago and just sort of tinkered with it, you know, over the ensuing six years.

Very slow.

I'm a slow writer.

You may have noticed.

Yeah, no.

True.

So, yeah,

first draft was over six years ago.

And then, you know, it's just been 10 years old.

Tell the story quickly.

Now, let me tell you this, because he's a really humble guy, and he's not going to say, as I told you the last time he was on,

he'll never bring this up.

But he has three kids, and

they were born without faces.

And so he wrote this book to be able to, this is why I ask you to go to Amazon.com right now and get the book, Life on Christmas Eve, so he can get the surgeries needed for his children to have faces.

I understand you got eyebrows.

We had to start there.

Right.

We got to start somewhere.

Right.

But you only got three eyebrows.

Yes.

Instead of the full six.

It's true.

It's rare

to have that problem.

And it's weird to start with the eyebrows before the eyes.

But anyway, go ahead and tell me about Life on Christmas Eve.

Sure.

Yeah, Life on Christmas Eve is about a 31-year-old small-town woman who finally watches It's a Wonderful Life for the very first time.

And shortly after she does, she starts to notice some unusual, weird similarities between a few things that happened to her and things that happened in the movie.

And so her journey to sort of figure out why these things might be happening leads her to an encounter with a mysterious stranger, we'll say, on Christmas Eve.

Now, do you mention the pandas that you saved?

I don't believe.

See, he's again.

He's being very humble.

Nathan is responsible, really, single-handedly, for getting pandas taken off of the endangered species lift.

He really is big on pandas.

So you might say he's a conservative.

He writes for Glenn Beck, yeah, but he is really big into pandas.

And this book has nothing to do with that.

But I just thought maybe if you like pandas, you might think, you know what?

What's a few bucks going his way for his kids?

And I also like pandas.

And it's a good book.

Life on Christmas Eve.

So

would I see this on Hallmark?

Believe it or not, as heartwarming as this book is,

it's a little dark, honestly, for them.

Probably in a couple spots.

But I also, because I've read the book, it also isn't.

Now, I could be really harsh.

I don't mean to be so harsh because maybe it's just me, but not quite as formulaic as movies on Hallmark are.

Well, I appreciate that.

I was sort of trying for that.

Yeah, you were trying

for the non-formulated Christmas right.

Yeah, I mean, it works for Hallmark.

It does.

But gosh darn it, those movies are so surprising.

Even the end of each one.

My 14-year-old son, the other night, Hallmark Channel, is on, and I'm barely paying attention to it.

And he actually said, you know, it seems like they really go for quantity over quality.

No.

Just out of the blue.

And I think that's a good thing.

Now it's weird because your son without eyes or a mouth was watching Hallmark.

And then you can hear it and discern a lot.

Oh, okay.

From another room.

So they do have ears.

Yes.

I mean, that's something you probably should have disclosed.

Yeah, I mean, there are a lot of people

who have sympathy or something.

What are you trying to do here?

Well, we have to be able to communicate.

Hey, let's not talk down to him.

He is, I don't know if you know this dude, but he is the guy who, you remember those Chilean miners that were trapped?

Yeah.

He dug them out by hand.

Really?

Yeah.

He's going to deny that, but that's how humble he is.

Wow.

Humility is really his big deal.

You're sort of like the Forrest Gump of our generation.

It's like that.

And wouldn't you like to own the book written by our real Forrest Gump?

Real life Forrest Gump.

And my understanding is correct.

That movie was based on the life of Nathan Nipper.

Nathan Nipper, the Life on Christmas Eve, a novel, and you can get it at Amazon or bookstores, anywhere.

Last time, they ran out of books.

They did.

They did run out of books.

Do you have books now this time?

Yes, but I mean, they actually had to do for Amazon, an emergency paperback edition.

Oh, really?

I think the hard copies are almost gone

for hardcover.

Well,

you know what I don't like about hardcovers?

What's that?

Well,

the hardcovers remind me about, remind me, bring flashbacks of the Unibomber.

to mind.

Really?

Yeah.

That's random.

I don't understand.

Well, it's a weird thing.

I was reading a book when I heard about the first explosion.

And so it is,

they give me the willies a little bit.

I like soft covers better.

But do you know that he's the

guy?

Nathan.

Nathan was the guy.

He was the neighbor of the first bomb.

And he was like, that seems weird.

That guy in that sweatshirt.

And he drew up.

You remember that sketch?

I remember the sketch.

He drew it up himself.

So

you're an artist.

A prime artist.

I've been known to draw.

Yeah.

Okay.

Wow.

Here and there.

How many times has Nathan saved your life?

I think that's a question as an audience member, you need to ask yourself.

And what have you done to thank him?

Have you thought about buying Life on Christmas Eve?

That's one way to do it.

I think it's probably the most important way you could.

Everything else seems a little shallow.

Life.

I mean.

He's responsible for the moonland.

Well, I'm not going to get into it because it makes him uncomfortable.

But Life on Christmas Eve by Nathan Nipper.

It's a great holiday read.

You can get it everywhere, wherever books are sold.

I mean, probably not porn shops.

That's true.

And they, well, they don't sell books.

I don't know if they sell books.

Do they sell books, Nathan?

I do not know.

Nathan owns it a giant chain of porn shops across the board.

That one's probably not healthy, right?

He was the first guy to actually develop a porn shop.

No, it's true.

So

I could say definitely that is

definitely not true.

Life on Christmas Eve, pick this up at Amazon right now, or we will come back and talk to you more about the things that Nathan has done that should make you want to buy this book beyond it's a really good book, Life on Christmas Eve by Nathan Nipper.

I'm waiting until you get online.

Still waiting.

Here's another great book that you have to have under the Christmas tree for this season.

If you are a parent or a grandparent, you have anybody in your life, and I know, honestly, some of these are kids, kids' books, but young adult and adult books as well.

Don't get excited, Nathan.

The Tuttle Twins explain how our economy works.

It explains how our republic works, why freedom is so important.

These are the books that will prevent your kids from being brainwashed in school.

It is really hard because most of us don't know how to teach these things.

It's a growing library of resources now from the Tuttle Twins.

They have toddlers and children's books that explore the principles of freedom using stories and pictures.

They have a free market curriculum with lessons that explore how free markets work so your kids can understand supply and demand and inflation.

Your kid will understand inflation, quite honestly, better than the Fed will after you read the Tuttle Twins books.

Giving these books and curriculum is great for your kids and grandkids, but honestly, it's good for anybody who reads them and it is essential if we want to save our country.

We must know these principles.

Blazetv.com slash Glenn.

You have a special with Kyle Rittenhouse on tonight.

Yeah.

9 p.m.

Eastern, right after a brand new studios America.

Wow.

And in that special, you talk to Kyle about how he, obviously, his entire experience, and you think back to that incident.

We just mentioned it.

The only reason he's not in prison is because there were conservative journalists, including Blaze TV's own Elijah Schaefer, who was there.

Oh, I think Elijah was

incredibly key.

Incredibly key.

He was the first.

He was the guy who did the only interview with Kyle on the street before the shooting.

Before the shooting.

Yeah, and

put a different picture.

I mean, when you first saw the video even of the actual incident, it was, of course, being reported that he was a white supremacist and he was gun crazy.

It was Elijah's interview that really turned that narrative around initially.

For instance, here's the interview.

Listen.

This is the buddy's business.

What are you guys doing out here?

We're protecting from the citizens, and I just got pepper sprayed by a person in the crowd.

So you had non-lethal, but you didn't respond.

We don't have non-lethal.

So you guys are full and ready to defend the property.

Yes, we are.

No, if I can ask, can you guys step back?

Medical, EMS, right here.

I'm an EMP.

That clip, partially, and some other stuff that was shot by Elijah and others,

mainly in conservative media, was able to show.

I mean, you see, he's leaving this interview, this guy who all he wants is attention for his white supremacy, leaving the interview to

give medical attention to Black Lives Matter protesters.

And they attacked him.

And Elijah said,

you have a weapon.

And Kyle says, yeah,

but I don't have non-lethal.

So in other words, they can do whatever they want, but unless my life is in jeopardy, I'm not using it because I have only lethal

weapons.

That shows he's in control of himself and his weapon and he's not itching for a fight.

Yeah.

And I will say,

as you're pitching people around the holidays here to think about supporting Blaze TV, a lot of this stuff has happened this year.

I mean, think of all the things that have been exposed.

Think about all the stuff that we went through with Afghanistan, the coverage that we had there, not to mention your own charitable efforts to actually remove people from Afghanistan that were American citizens and Christians in danger.

But I mean, all of these things, I think, work together in some way.

And

while I think you get really fantastic shows like Studos America on this network, you also get, I think,

the ability to be part of something that is bigger than that.

You know,

the pushback on the Kyle Rittenhouse is a white supremacist narrative came solely from places like Blaze TV and other conservative outlets that didn't back down immediately when everyone was calling him a white supremacist.

We didn't say, we know he's not.

We just said, where's the evidence for this claim?

Can you prove this?

Wait a minute, we're seeing the video.

Where's the evidence that he was targeting people all over the place?

He's running away from them.

And that sort of stuff was only covered by conservative media for a very long time.

And still kind of is.

And still kind of is.

I'll tell you, we are making an impact.

And I say we, not meaning just the blaze, I mean conservative media.

They are terrified of us.

They are.

They're terrified.

If they could shut us down today, they would.

But they know they can't.

Now, does that mean they're not not going to?

No, I think they're going to.

I think that's a matter of time and to see what happens.

But the conservative movement is growing stronger and stronger.

And I can't even say it's conservative movement.

The common sense movement.

I'm a conservative, but I'm also a common sense guy.

And I can live next door to people who have wildly different views than me.

But I believe in the Bill of Rights.

And that's my movement, is the Bill of Rights, the rights of free people to remain free.

We can disagree on policies all you want, but not on the rights.

And look at what's happening.

They are

skewing the mainstream media.

I don't know if you saw this about the White House having a briefing, several briefings with all of the main anchors and the main news

groups to talk about their coverage of the White House and the economy and COVID.

Those guys are all, that's all propaganda.

That's all that is.

And the American people know it.

I mean, did you see Bill de Blasio, what, yesterday said he was going to make vaccines mandatory

for everybody in New York?

Yesterday, it was the city council, wasn't it, that said, no, we're not going to do that.

The courts shut it down today, yeah.

Okay.

So the courts did it.

The courts have been speaking loudly on this, but it looks like they're even losing support from Democrats now in the House and the Senate on the vaccine mandates.

They're not even going to get enough Democrats to go on that.

That's because you've been allowed to hear another side and not feel so alone.

You're not alone.

And millions of Americans who may vote differently than you do agree and are starting to wake up.

And that's a great thing and a great reason to to become part of our team at blazetv.com slash Glenn.

Last hour of the broadcast today.

And it's brought to you in part by RekTech, literally only a couple of weeks away from Christmas.

And I know what you're thinking.

How am I going to cook all that food to absolute perfection?

I have the answer for you.

It is RekTech.

RekTech.

It comes with a

sensor that makes sure that everything is perfect.

It's a smart grill

app, and you can put this sensor into the food, and you can watch it on your phone.

You can control the entire thing.

It actually adjusts, if there's like a cold wave, it'll adjust the temperature inside, or if you open the door of it, it adjusts the temperature to make sure that it's always cooking perfectly and it lets you know when it is done.

It makes a great Christmas gift.

It's great for cooking anything.

If you've been keeping track of the airlines recently, you know that flying pretty much anywhere for Christmas is going to cost you an arm and a leg.

You might be thinking to yourself, why not drive?

Great idea, as long as you don't have a breakdown and if your warranty is not out of date.

Remember the arm and leg we were just talking about?

You know, I went uh shopping yesterday for my uh for my wife and uh really couldn't find anything.

Not because I didn't know what to get her, just because

nothing was.

And the mall was sad.

It really was.

Really?

Sad.

Like a lot of the stores closed.

And I mean, this is, I went to, what is it, North Park?

That's a mall in Dallas.

Yeah, big mall in Dallas.

Closed.

A lot of it is closed.

Strangely, the parking lots were still absolutely packed.

That could just be like a universal law.

It has nothing to do with how many people are shopping.

You just can't get close to a mall on Christmas.

And God help me, I went shoe shopping for my wife.

And yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I didn't get any, but I went in.

Have you ever done any shoe shopping at Nordstrom's?

I don't think I have.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

There are more salespeople than there are cars in the parking lot.

Yeah, like every two steps you take.

Have you been helped?

Yes, yes, I've been helped.

Maybe that's where all the employees are.

Maybe the shortage is

no shortage in the shoe department at North.

Zero shortage.

There were too many people that were there, but it was very delightful.

It does feel like the worst case scenario pre-Christmas has not come to fruition.

Is that safe to say?

That you can't get anything.

You can't get anything.

The stores are bare.

Yeah, I'd say that.

At this point, if you have kids, which I do, you've probably done a good chunk of your Christmas shopping.

Yeah, not.

No.

You haven't done a good chunk of your

responsible parent by this time.

Yeah.

Or a responsible grandparent.

No.

No.

Don't hit either of those.

But like I went to

I'm not saying you're completely done with it, but you've probably purchased things.

You know, we've gone through some stuff for the kids and been able to find it.

It's, you know, you haven't done a darn thing.

Not, not, not, not.

I was at the mall this weekend.

It was very crowded.

You know, the stores still seem to have stuff in them.

It's not like you're not getting the Venezuela Venezuela possibilities that we were really making, hoping that we wouldn't get.

That doesn't mean it's not around the corner.

And

certain things we have had those types of problems.

I found yesterday.

And this was just, you know, this was just for the things I was looking for.

I wasn't for kids.

If you're expecting something to be in the back room.

No, it's not going to be in the back room.

No.

No.

It's not like, you know, I don't know.

We had these big, you know, magical ideas that there is this big storehouse that can I, you know, you have this in purple and pink polka dot?

Yeah.

Oh, sure.

I got that in the back.

You know, no, uh-uh.

Right.

Like we're seeing, it's interesting.

We're seeing more problems, I feel like, with

things that are more important to your day-to-day life, like certain items, you know, construction supplies, certain foods, certain, you know, things like that have been harder to find than maybe a normal Christmas present.

That's not a good thing for the economy and civilization generally, but maybe it doesn't ruin case.

Yeah, I mean, you know, sure, you can't get the turkey.

Right.

You know, but you have toys under the tree.

They did, again, I think we talked about this a little bit around Thanksgiving, but they do have big turkeys, not small ones.

What an American problem to have.

Yeah.

What do you mean you don't have?

Oh, you know, this might have been, you were off that week, that's right.

Oh, I have, oh, I have an update on something else.

Remind me.

Go ahead.

So

the issue with the turkeys

was that they didn't have a lot of small ones.

The reason for that is because last year there was a lot of holiday celebrations that didn't happen because of COVID.

So not a lot of turkeys lost their lives.

Those turkeys lived an extra year and grew really big.

So it was really hard to find the small ones this year, but easier to find the large turkeys.

So, I mean, again, that's not the worst problem to have, but again,

that is annoying.

You're spending a lot more money on,

you know, turkey you don't need.

So that is, that is an issue.

You know, there's a, i just thought of turkeys because uh we did make a very small turkey uh this year at home um and uh and that's unusual for us uh but we you know i told you we got the the stove that we waited a year for

it won't fit anything but a small turkey

I mean, because we couldn't look at it because they didn't have one.

And so, you know, we just assumed, you know,

it's a big stove.

So it'll have...

No, uh-uh.

No, it doesn't.

So the one you waited all this time for?

All this time for?

Sucks.

It's the wrong size?

Well, no, it's not the wrong size.

It's the size they make, I guess.

And they changed the model, and

it's not quite as big on the interior.

Why do I get so big?

Bigger on the exterior, smaller on the interior, which is.

Something I need to examine about myself.

I don't know why I get so excited when these things happen to you.

I can't help but smile.

I took a picture for you, actually, yesterday.

Really?

I got home yesterday, and I walk into the kitchen and it's all taped up with plastic and

you have to go through a maze of plastic.

And I thought to myself, I got to take a picture of this for Stu because two weeks, it'll be done in two weeks.

You're never going to

be done.

It's never going to be done.

Never going to be done.

It's going to be like that Winchester house.

You know, that in California that just went on and on and on?

Yeah.

You know, because the lady thought, you know, Winchester, my family has caused so many deaths.

If the hammering stops, the ghosts will come and drag me into hell.

And so she, you know, she was dragged into hell, but the hammering never stopped.

And so they just kept building the house.

Mine's not going to get any bigger.

It's just never going to get done.

Just never be done.

And this is going to go on.

I mean, now what they're saying is you don't need to.

Well, first of all, your home is going to never be repaired.

And then that will also go to the end of 2023.

But they're saying the inflation problems are looking at least into 2023 now, which doesn't seem that transitory to me.

No, and it doesn't seem good.

We're at 6.2, and that's bogus.

That's a bogus number.

6.2% inflation.

Yeah, 6.2% inflation.

That is an absolute bogus number.

If you actually looked at the rate of inflation,

the way that we used to measure it, not this newfangled, hey,

what?

Gas, meat,

food, clothing, doesn't count.

If you measure it the way we've always measured it in the past, in the 90s, we would be at about 13% inflation.

If we did it like we did in the 80s, we'd be almost at 15% inflation.

And when they looked,

they did an index of a bunch of key items for people, and it was something like 24%.

And they're like, well, wages have risen 4%, though.

So, okay, you should be fine.

But that is really their argument.

Wages are coming up, too, and they have come up a little bit.

I guess that's generally good.

It seems, though,

not when prices continue to go up.

Well, I mean, it's good if your wages go up to chase those prices, I suppose.

However, when it seems like the wages are mainly going up because not enough people are showing up to jobs, well, here's the thing.

There's a crunch on the labor system.

The Fed just came out and said they're very concerned because now people have less savings than they've had in a very long time.

Now, just I told you over the summer.

They were fine.

They said, don't worry about it.

Everything's going to be fine because Americans are spending like there's no tomorrow because they have more savings than they've had in a very long time.

Well, as I said to you, those that more savings, you know, the cash people had, that's because the government was giving them cash.

And if you don't keep giving them cash, they're not going to have the cash to keep spending.

And so now.

We don't have, now we're, everybody's hitting the end of their savings, the end of their government bubbles.

Yeah.

And now people are going to be in real trouble.

The savings rates are coming down.

They've been watching that really closely because, you know, if you think about it, you're getting a bunch of free money from the government.

This is not everybody, by the way.

A lot of people, this didn't happen to, but a lot of people got free money from the government and were scared to go outside and do things.

So they didn't spend on vacations.

They didn't spend on anything.

They didn't go to the movies.

They didn't go out to dinner.

They were basically at home and terrified about the future.

So they were saving as much money as they could.

So the savings rates through the pandemic were really solid.

I mean, really solid for a bunch of sort of artificial reasons.

You come out of the other side.

People are now willing to go do things and spend money.

They tell you to spend.

And then when you start spending, they tell you not to spend.

I mean,

it's insane.

It's insane.

Here's the thing.

People are going to start.

If the government doesn't write another massive check to people, it will mean that soon people are going to have to go back to work.

And once they go back to work, that will help unclog a lot of this stuff.

Prices will go back to being somewhat normal.

I mean, not,

you know, not normal, but they won't continue on this pace, I hope, if people start going back to work.

We'll still have high inflation, but it won't be no end or no top of it in sight.

We have to get back to work.

It's so bizarre to live in America and

see things

closed,

go into places and they don't have it.

You know, things you're, we're just not used to that.

I went to McDonald's yesterday.

That's a stunning announcement.

You can just break that to us like that.

I know, I know, I know.

So my daughter and I, we went to McDonald's.

I went for her, not for me.

Of course.

And

we went to McDonald's, and there's a sign on it that says, we are serving a limited menu.

Yep, limited menu.

And at least the one near where I live is only open for like a few hours a day inside, like only in the main hours.

Yeah.

So the drive-thru stays open a little bit longer.

But like if you want to go in, you know, nine o'clock at night, you can't, they're not even open because they don't have enough employees.

They didn't have soda.

They didn't have...

They didn't have soda.

Now, I went there the other day with my kids, and they wanted to get ice cream, and they didn't have the machine.

The machine was broken because it's McDonald's, and that's what happens at McDonald's.

They're always broken.

So that one, I don't think, has anything to do with the

chain noticed that.

Oh, it's a huge, it's a very well-known thing.

For their ice cream?

Ice cream and shakes.

Yeah, okay.

Ice cream and shakes.

They don't really need a machine because it's not really ice cream.

It's not, I mean, maybe it is now.

Maybe they, you know, maybe

the cows said, you know, enough is enough here.

If you're going to take the milk, you got to at least make it in McDonald's with milk.

I don't know.

but I think it was like a...

There might have been some nuclear energy used in those shake machines.

So, you know, you can understand a meltdown.

The bottom line, this is America.

I want it when I want it.

Do you understand?

I'm not going to live like Europe.

I'm not going to learn to love getting three-week delays on things.

No.

This is the thing.

Don't accept this.

I mean, it's not anybody's fault.

We're all in this together, but let's not lower our standards and go, well, that's just the way it is.

Let's get back to work.

Let's go find ways to beat this.

I'd be really interested to see you do some stuff on the anti-work movement.

I did a little bit on it last night on my show.

And the anti-hang on just

oh my god, that's where we are.

We have to open another door.

It's like Advent Day, Advent calendars every day.

Let's open a door.

Ooh, what's there?

Anti-work movement.

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

First, let me tell you about Goldline.

If you're one of the few people who haven't gotten gotten the memo yet, the Fed is not your friend.

These are the geniuses that brought us the crash of 08.

That was them.

That was the big banks.

Then they brought us TARP.

That was the Fed.

That was the big banks.

Now we have this.

Who was it that walked into the Oval Office when Donald Trump said, what do we do?

It was the Fed.

Close down the economy here's the plan

they're not your friend and they're printing money and as we were just talking about inflation is going through the roof if they continue to in to print money there's there's no end to this no end

gold and silver are a hedge against excess and excessive inflation or worse hyperinflation i want you to call goldline today to find out how to protect the money that you do have.

or you get nothing.

You can explain at Christmas.

How did I not explain that correctly?

You buy them at full price or you get nothing.

Those are your two options.

Merry Christmas.

Wow, you're a Grinch.

You get the honor of explaining why the naked butt and the poop emojis are on the Let's Go Brandon socks, one of the pairs.

Right.

And that's you get to say to your friend who votes differently than you, you can say, oh, that's to honor

Joe Biden and his trip to meet the Pope.

That is what it is about, apparently.

Apparently, I didn't make the socks.

No, but you support the message.

You can get them now at blazesocks.com.

Okay, the anti-work movement.

Yes.

So you may have heard this quote from Prince Harry.

He was talking about the, now there's another thing they called is the Great Resignation.

Yeah, I've heard of that.

Okay.

I don't, so this is going to come as a shock.

I don't follow Prince Harry.

No, no, I didn't think you would necessarily know that.

But I thought it is an interesting cultural development.

And it's, you know, Prince Harry took a beating because he said, he said, it's a sign, the great resignation.

It is a sign that with self-awareness comes the need for change.

Many people around the world have been stuck in jobs that didn't bring them joy.

And now they're putting their mental health and happiness first.

This is something to be celebrated.

You know what's really nice about that is

first world people get to do that.

I mean, really, in his case, above first world people.

Like, the people literally are princes.

All right.

Yeah.

People who are princes.

Yes.

They get to do that.

They get to do that.

There are lots of people that are stuck in just jobs that just they shouldn't have.

You know, if you thought about being parliament, a member of parliament, it's awful.

You know, but you can find joy in your work too.

A lot of people do.

I do.

Yeah, of course.

And, you know, so there's some positive message there, right?

Like, you should try to work, do something that you enjoy doing.

Or you could just focus on this is the responsibility I have to feed my family.

Right.

And that's why he kind of took a beating on this and that, like, a prince who's married to Rachel from Suits is really going to tell us,

hey, you know.

Yeah, you're not exactly doing dirty jobs.

Exactly.

Right.

And who's going to do the dirty jobs other than Mike Rowe, who is a multi-millionaire and still does them?

I would like to nominate Prince Charles.

There you go.

I would like to.

So who does those jobs if all we do is look for joy in our work?

Sometimes work is hard.

You do your best to get what you can get out of it, but sometimes it's hard and sometimes you don't enjoy it.

I mean, I do this show every day.

So

there's this movement, though, on the left that is saying, and it's kicked into high gear with the pandemic.

Wait a minute.

We sat at home for months and months and months and months and didn't work and everything kind of turned out fine.

We didn't, we still got to pay our, we got to play Xbox at home all day.

We didn't have to go to work.

We got money from the government.

Why don't we just continue this?

And this has gone back.

You remember from Obamacare, Glenn, Nancy Pelosi kind of famous.

Oh yeah, she said, oh, well, what if you just, you could enjoy your, to be an artist and a photographer, a truisician.

You shouldn't have to be stuck in a job to have health insurance.

Well, now it's everything they want to move this to.

And there's a whole movement called the anti-work movement.

I'll give you a couple of the ideas of how they're talking.

Working your whole life just to enjoy a few years when you're close to death is one of the biggest scams.

It is, because really,

I mean, we're going to lose that.

We're not going to get that.

Our generation is not going to see that.

I know this is the norm in America, but getting home at 6 p.m.

and having two to three hours to yourself every night is the craziest crap ever.

Yeah, especially when you don't get the two or three hours to yourself because you got kids.

Sounds amazing.

Two to three hours to myself?

You can't even tell them I would love that.

I would like that in a year, please.

I'm not jealous of rich people because of the things they have.

I'm jealous of rich people because they get to pursue their passions in life without having to work a grueling 40-hour workweek just to get by.

Yeah, I know.

I know.

I know a lot of people who are wealthy that work 80-hour work weeks.

Imagine a 40-hour workweek.

What would that be?

I don't know what that would be.

Is it three days?

This is the Glenback program.

All right.

Personally, I love eating vegetables.

I love them.

I could eat them morning, noon, and night.

You're known as Mr.

Vegetable.

Yes.

Because between the workouts and whatnot, I've got vegetables.

The problem is I'm contractually obligated to come on this program and pretend that I only like food that's bad for me like candy bars you know what I mean so I've because I like broccoli love it I've found a happy medium I can talk about a healthy protein bar that tastes like candy bars huh is that great if you haven't tried built bars yet you're missing out they're made with 100% real chocolate they taste like a candy bar also high in protein and fiber yet low in fat and carbs.

Taste at other protein bars?

Never taste a protein bar like Built ever.

They are completely different.

So Kyle Rittenhouse has been in the studios for the last couple of days.

And he was here Monday as a guest of Elijah Schaefer, who is joining us now.

He's the Blaze TV host of Slightly Offensive and the co-host of You Are Here.

You Are Here did the interview with Kyle on Monday, and that's because you've kind of become friends with Kyle.

Yeah, very good friends, actually.

It's been a friendship I never thought I needed, but

after 2020, I need somebody who's gone through worse stuff.

And

he's at the top of the list.

I think he's at the top of everybody's list right now.

Let me play the first interaction that you had.

You were there the night Kyle, right before the shooting happened, you did a quick interview with him.

Here it is.

This is the buddy's business.

What are you guys doing out here?

We're protecting from the citizens, and I just got pepper sprayed by a person in the crowd.

So you had non-lethos, but you didn't respond.

We don't have non-lethal.

So you guys are full-on ready to defend the property.

Yes, we are.

No, if I can ask, can you guys step back?

Medical, EMS, right here.

I'm an EMS.

So that's the first time, and I like the way you were, because you were doing the little

camel soup can with a string on it, right?

So you were talking talking into a can of coffee.

How many masks did you have on at this point?

I was like, I was like, I actually had on one of the masks that work.

It's a gas mask, military grade.

So I mean, that thing was that is thick, and that filter is huge.

And I could barely hear myself through it.

So,

so you were there.

You knew.

I mean, we talked to you, I think, the next day, or you were still there.

And you said, no, no, no, this story is not what they're painting

to be.

He told me yesterday um in the interview that we'll release tonight he was in jail um or he went to um the to the police they took him downtown they um said you better get an attorney and his whole life changed how did you stay in touch with him did you stay in touch with him yeah i mean uh from the beginning of the the shooting uh that happened to the third one that happened i knew that he was going to be painted as a white supremacist because I knew that around the BLM movement, there was nothing but lies.

And I knew that the victims at that time, which I called victims, were not black.

And I knew that this was an altercation between rioters and another kid.

And I knew the media was going to slander him.

And I went, I didn't know his politics.

I didn't know what he believed.

I mean, I didn't even know he was 17.

I just went, I've got to get in contact with this guy because he's got to know that people in the public know the true story.

That someone that was there knows that he's innocent of murder, that this was a self-defense, clear-cut self-defense.

I knew it that night.

I witnessed it with my eyes.

And so, you know, I quickly found out who he had retained, got in contact with his legal team, quickly was able to talk to his mother.

And, you know, I was able to get information to and from him.

And we've been FaceTiming for the last year or so and just trying to keep his spirits high, praying together, laughing together.

He likes to talk about girls, you know, typical 18-year-old guy.

So just a normal kid.

Yeah, he is.

And

you may not have felt the same way.

but when I interviewed him yesterday, sitting across the table from him, he is a kid.

I mean, it was like talking to my 17-year-old son.

You know, he's got the mindset of he's not political.

He doesn't want to be involved in, you know, he's not some crusader.

He's not a crusader.

He thought at the time he wanted to be part of EMS.

So he was going down to

do that that because that's what he wanted to do for life.

And he's thinking, you know, you say he talks about girls.

He's a kid.

He's an 18-year-old kid.

Legitimately.

I mean, when we hung out, he just wanted to, again, talk about girls, play video games, and, you know, just go eat steak.

He didn't even know what ribeye was.

You know, I mean, this is an 18-year-old.

He was like, I don't know what steak to order.

And I was like, I mean, what 18-year-old knows the difference between prime rib, ribeye, and a Tama.

He's like, what's wagu?

I was like, you can get it if you want, but I'll buy you whatever you want.

But I mean, this is definitely just some guy who was out there.

People say, well, you know, how did he go out there with a gun if he was 17 or whatever?

And you just went to, bro, we've sent people to wars at that age, too.

Like, I mean, it is an age where a lot has been asked of young men.

And yes, in the age, he is a young man and he has responsibilities.

And again, he defended himself like a man would.

But at heart, I can't believe that that's not the kid that I would have thought would have went out to defend property.

Because he's just so jovial, innocent, nice.

He's the sweetest, sweetest guy.

I'm really a sweet kid.

Like to my wife, you know, just like, oh, it's so good to meet you.

Gives her a hug and was like, I'm so happy to see you in person finally because they had FaceTimed.

And I feel that like I'm talking to my nephew.

Yeah.

I'm going.

He's not a, this is not a murderer.

This is not a racist.

What are they talking about?

When he was talking to me, he's going, he's going to go to Arizona State.

I mean, he's going.

And, you know,

they didn't want him on, they didn't even want him on

virtual campus, let alone on campus.

And he's just got this attitude of, you know, they're going to say stuff to me.

That's okay.

I mean, I don't want to talk about politics.

Talk about my dog.

You know, I'm just, I'm just there for an education.

He really thinks that

I think he thinks he's going to go back at some point soon to a normal life.

And I don't see that happening.

Do you?

You can't because life isn't normal.

I mean, even for people that are still pretending like it is, you got to wake up.

And if you're brought into the cultural war, if you're brought into the battles, I mean, at Arizona State, they had a protest against him screaming over microphones to maybe 100 people about how they're letting a man on campus that killed three black and brown people.

I mean, they don't even have his story correct.

No.

So they're

the public doesn't even know what happened.

And they don't care to correct that.

You know, even if they lost their slander campaign on him to get him put into prison for murder, which it was clearly self-defense, they They still have the stronghold on the narrative that this is a white supremacist that killed black people that were in the name.

It's the farthest thing from him.

But it did, yeah, but this is what this is what the media does.

They go, well, we have a loss here, but you know what?

We're not going to retract the articles.

We're going to leave the Google searches up.

And it's still, you know, it's still against Instagram's policy.

He tried to put his name in his Instagram account because he's not a criminal.

He didn't do anything wrong by the court of law.

He tried to put his own name, Kyle Rittenhouse, in his name for his Instagram account, and it was against community standards.

He couldn't.

He can't.

apologies to all the Kyle Rittenhouses out there that exist.

Wow.

You can't use your name on social media.

You can't.

What I find amazing is you can't post anything about him.

No.

Because you'll be violating.

Tell the story.

Yeah, so obviously I'm connected to the trial, to the case.

Facebook and Instagram knew that.

They, you know, had started striking.

This is early on.

I was obviously one of the first people putting a lot of stuff up about this case.

And they started first removing the posts.

Then they started blocking the posts.

Then they started contacting us.

And then they said they were going to delete my account.

So we reached out to them and they made me delete everything off of off my page of Kyle Rittenhouse to keep the account up.

And what was insane was I have other social media.

So I just told everyone, go to this social media, go to my Telegram, go here if you want to see updates.

I'm going to keep updating you, just they won't let me do it here.

And so then

they write us and they go to delete my account saying, oh, you have Kyle Rittenhouse propaganda or whatever on your account.

I'm like, wait, no, I deleted everything there was an old story if you're not familiar with instagram there's like a 24-hour post that you can post and it archives quote unquote into their hard drives there was an old post from like five months ago that was only up for 24 hours that saved onto their hard drives and they threatened again to delete my account versus a post from five months ago that wasn't even visible to the public unless i went back into their archives and had them delete it like that's how insane they are they had to go delete them off their hard drives like off the archives of their servers in order to keep the account active and i can't even post articles with his name.

I have to blur out his name.

Still today?

Yes.

They haven't changed their policy on my account.

Other people can't.

He's still.

I can't.

He's been found not guilty, and it's still

wrong for Elijah to post anything about him.

Like, hey, congratulations.

Hey, look who's not guilty.

Not even a picture with him.

I couldn't post a picture from...

I'm on an interview with him on YouTube.

Can't even put a clip up.

I mean, you're talking about a journalist who actually conducted the first known interview, basically, of this entire story before the shooting, who can't discuss the shooting in the case.

That's insanity.

That's their stronghold on the information.

That's what you were saying about him.

Can he go back to normal life?

I just said, no.

Dude, look, man, we don't live in a society of truth.

And yes, the truth is you were acquitted.

It was self-defense and you didn't do anything wrong by the court of law.

And yes, that's the truth.

Unfortunately, man, these institutions operate, I don't know, by the power of demons.

Like, I don't know what to claim that they operate by, but I can tell you that their ultimate goal is disinformation.

It's misinformation.

I mean, I mean, I said, it does not matter.

I go, even if you, if I write that you were acquitted, I'll get fact-checked and said, missing context, you know, he was acquitted, but some people think he's guilty.

And you're like, all right, well, your opinion doesn't matter because that's what we have the justice system for.

Okay.

But it doesn't, I just told him, I go, you know, justice is no longer by the court.

It's by public opinion.

And the evil powers at hand, the people at CNN, people at MSNBC, like Joy Reed, Rachel Madow, I guess Cuomo's out, but Don Lemon.

I mean, these people are not going to come to your side.

They're going to tell you not to retract.

They should be quaking in their boots.

They should be moving their money into Bitcoin or someplace offshore because they're going to have it taken from them.

Because I think this kid has the strongest case I've ever seen.

He's going to win.

Oh, he's going to win.

And I think he's going to win big.

And if they're not going, I told him, I'll invest in that.

I don't want any money.

I will invest in that because if you hit them hard enough, big enough, there's a chance they have to change or they'll collapse.

They need to be bankrupted.

And I'm saying this because

I don't believe in cancel culture and the idea of I don't want to come after people for making mistakes.

Or and I don't want to do it because I disagree with them.

Correct.

I'm saying, yeah, if you make a mistake, like somebody says something, they get it wrong.

It's like, you know, says a mean thing, fine, apologize.

The reason why this is bad, these people will not only not apologize, they double down on their disinformation.

So, it's like when they're asked to retract, like with Saki, and and

hey, you will you retract this?

He said he's a white supremacist, just skirts around the question and just says, you know what, no, yeah, I'm not gonna do it without having to say no, just

I will not retract, will not apologize.

It's like, look, then you deserve

justice, also doubling down.

They're doubling down on, for instance, all the stuff with

Ukraine and President Trump.

They're doubling down.

They're saying that all of that stuff was real.

The New York Times just took, we have all the evidence now.

They just wrote a story last week saying, nope, because of this, this, and this, we were right.

I mean, they won't stop.

Do you know how crazy this is?

So

Will Witt from PragerU, I share one of his posts about the Nuremberg Code, you know, sort of being ignored in Europe.

And I get fact-checked.

It says AP fact-checks this as false.

Okay, this is false.

They're changing the Nuremberg Code.

So I read it, and it it was like, look,

the fact check

goes,

they never said that we're getting rid of the Nuremberg Code.

What they said is the Nuremberg Code would prevent state-enforced vaccinations.

But what the EU chief did say was that it's okay for states to ignore the Nuremberg Code and to have state-enforced vaccinations.

She didn't mention the Nuremberg Code, but said that it's okay to do what violates it.

But because she didn't say the word Nuremberg Code,

we're going to fact check this as false.

And I'm like, no, you just complicated it.

Will Witt put into 160 words what you tried to explain in three pages to complicate it.

You convoluted the truth with weird lies.

And I'm like, no, if the EU, if the head of the EU is saying to states to violate the Nuremberg Code and to do whatever they want, medically speaking, then we are doing away with it.

And it's like,

false.

We're not doing away with it.

We're just ignoring it.

It exists.

We just won't read it anymore.

It's kind of like the Bible.

It's kind of the

Constitution.

Yeah, the Constitution, the Bible.

They're good at that.

It's still there.

Nicholas Cage, you can still steal it.

You know, the Declaration of Independence exists.

Good news is if you have Life Lock, one of the restoration specialists is already probably working on it to restore everything.

This pandemic has been got off for so many reasons.

And behind the lies of human and environmental protection is something far more sinister.

But it does present us with an opportunity.

I see the need for a great reset.

It's time to wake up.

Tonight at 9 o'clock, the real villain of the Rittenhouse story.

You'll understand when you see it.

Tonight at 9 p.m., an hour one-on-one with Kyle Rittenhouse.

I talked to him about nightmares

and

what this means to him.

You really get to know this kid.

I also asked him about Joe Biden refusing to apologize.

Has anybody from the media organizations?

He hasn't.

And

I would like to sit down with the president and have a conversation with him and tell him the facts of what happened.

I don't expect that to happen, but it would be right for him to do it.

Yeah, don't hold your breath on that one.

I also asked him, this is cut nine.

Has anybody apologized?

Listen to this.

Has anybody from the media organizations...

has anybody honest come to you and go, you know what?

I really thought this, but I was watching that and I was wrong.

I'm sorry.

I haven't noticed anything from the media, but Bill Ackman, a really great guy.

I had a Zoom call with him the other day.

And who is he?

He does banking stuff

at Hedgeford New York.

Yeah, a hedge fund guy.

Yes.

And he said, I watched the trial and I was wrong.

And

I support you now.

I'm sorry.

And it was just a great phone call.

How amazing is that?

How amazing is that?

People don't do that anymore.

No.

No.

You'll be amazed at what comes out of this interview tonight, 9 p.m.
