It's a Good Day for the GOP | Guests: Jim Lentz & Carol Roth | 11/3/21

don't technically need this car.

You say that out loud to yourself.

You say, I have no space.

You say, eh, I'm just looking.

Then you click.

Then you zoom in on photo number 87 and whisper, oh no.

Then you text a friend, the one who always enables you.

You say to yourself, this is the last one, knowing it is not.

You don't need this car.

But maybe, just maybe, this car needs you.

Bring a trailer.

It's never just a car.

We will not gloat today.

We will not gloat today.

No, no, no, no.

I want to be serious and address these things as serious issues, just like American financing.

American financing, right now, you can get a consolidation loan.

You could get a mortgage.

You could

probably,

you know, get somebody on the phone that might gloat.

today, but that won't be us.

Won't be us.

And you know what?

I doubt it would be American financing, too.

They would not be gloating today.

Anyway, American Financing, 800-906-2440, American Financing.net.

AmericanFinancing.net.

I want you to go there.

Today is the big financial day at COP, what is it, COP26,

which sounds like a bad TV show, but

over in Glasgow.

And the financial stuff is coming our way, and you need to be prepared.

So please, if you're doing anything financially and want to save money

or get a loan, consolidation, or financing, AmericanFinancing.net, 800-906-2440.

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

This

is

the Glenback program.

Hell, hello, America.

You sick twisted.

You know what?

I don't even want to start with that kind of an attitude.

I don't want to even.

There will be no gloating on today's broadcast.

None.

None whatsoever.

We are

here just to tell you the facts and certainly not to gloat over what happened last night.

And so it won't happen on this program.

No, no, no.

I hear you.

You want it.

But I am not your trained little monkey that is just going to do another Gloat Fest.

No,

it won't happen.

We begin in 60 seconds.

The Glenn Beck program.

So if you've ever had to go through the process of buying or selling a home and your real estate agent,

this experience was

about as fun and useful as rolling through a patch of cactus, which, hey, I mean,

I know it's probably cacti if you're a snob, but, you know, that's not a lot of fun.

You need somebody who is going to actually find the right house for you.

They're going to get the right deal for you.

It's a real estate agent that you can trust.

That's why I call my company realestate agentsitrust.com.

Oh my gosh, the name kind of says it all.

Realestateagents I trust.com.

Go there.

Go there now.

Realestateagentsitrust.com.

No, no.

No, no.

No, Sarah, no.

Stop right now.

No, we are not

going to gloat, are we, Stu?

Of course not.

Of course not.

That would be

all about sportsmanship in a moment like that.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You know, both sides fought a good game battle.

Yeah.

They both tried their hardest.

We're not

both sides should be respected.

Right.

And at the end of the day,

you have to take a step back and say, we need to come together.

Right.

And

someone gloating about a win would be horrible

would work against that.

Stu and I have promised that we will not gloat.

Unfortunately, Pat just walked in.

Oh, hey, Pat.

And

Pat has not made the promise, you know, to not gloat.

Oh, wait.

Oh, wait.

Stop.

Start over.

Stop just a second.

I mean, no,

you're not going to do it either, huh?

You know, I haven't really made that promise,

so I could, but I, okay,

you want to play, you want to play it straight too.

We want to, I mean, let's, let's, I mean, let's, let's just, let's go over some of this.

It looks like,

looks like Terry McCullough

has lost the state of Virginia.

And so sad.

sign to freak and jump.

All right, all right.

We're not going to do that.

We're not.

We're not going to do that.

We're not doing that.

No.

No, we're not.

That's not.

That's for evil shows.

Yeah, Patreon leash.

It is.

It's not appropriate here.

You're calling your own show evil.

It's evil.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean, we could look at Winsom Sears, the conservative Republican, who will be Virginia's next lieutenant governor.

White supremacist.

Of course, she's a white supremacist.

Also, the first woman of color in the office

in their 400-year history of Virginia.

First one.

Wow.

Yeah.

Wow.

Amazing.

Yeah.

Didn't know that?

No.

Yeah.

And

we will not gloat

about that.

The Republicans are Democratics assigned to Brandon Joe.

All right.

That's

wrong.

That's wrong.

It is.

I'm glad you guys aren't doing that today because it shows a certain amount of maturity.

Thank you.

Well, we have grown as a show.

We have grown as a show.

So we got that going on.

And then

New Jersey,

too close to call.

Yeah.

Unfortunately.

he's behind now, and it looks like they're stealing the election now in New Jersey.

Is that what happened?

Is that really

what it looks like?

They're not going to do that in Virginia.

They're only going to do it in New Jersey today.

We can easily, you know,

they've.

Why would this be on the air today?

What?

Why would we be listening to this of all things in the world?

Do I want to give them a fair shake?

I want to.

All right.

Would it be better if it was the Soviet national anthem?

Honestly, yes.

the Soviet anthem is fantastic.

It's very stirring.

It's a great anthem.

So let's go ahead and, you know, give them the credit that credit is due.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

Well, we don't know.

That one's still not over.

I'm going to say the outstanding vote is all in blue counties.

So this is going to be tough for them.

It's going to be really close.

I mean, Biden won that by 16.

Yeah.

And

it's this close here.

Crazy.

Crazy.

Yeah.

Crazy.

People do not like this administration.

No.

And I think this is a clear signal.

Yeah, I think it is.

New Jersey almost going right.

That is a pretty clear signal.

So, wow, I've missed that.

I have, yeah.

I have missed that.

I didn't.

No wonder you're not gloating.

Well,

I did.

I have to find this.

You ready for this one?

I love this account.

This is from

New York Magazine.

Biden's Build Back Better Bill, a package of social welfare program and climate investments, has fared little better

than

his overall approval rating.

They find it 25% of Americans believe the legislation would help people like them, while 32%

plurality say it will hurt them.

The remaining respondents say they don't know enough about the president's top priority to have an opinion.

So,

what's happening?

They say the party has just lost Virginia,

a state that went for Biden for 10 points.

The question is, the question is,

is it Joe Biden's fault?

There is another hypothesis that Biden's woes derive primarily from media distortions.

Yes.

Oh, my God.

Yeah.

The media is so against

Democrats.

That's what's happening.

Yes.

Yes, Democrats.

That's what it was.

The media is so against you.

If you just keep doing the things you're doing, this is going to work out for you in the end.

Okay, so listen, they're saying that this is backed up by two

political and economic developments

that make this make sense.

One, by many reasonable metrics, the political and economic situation is fairly good.

Yes, right?

You should continue what you're doing.

Right, right.

It's fairly good when you look at that.

The media environment.

You ready?

Two, the media environment is structurally biased against Democrats.

Due to the right-wing media's strength

and the mainstream media's tendency to drive down approval of the in-party power.

Who wrote that?

Some socialist, I'm sure.

Oh, my God.

I mean, is this crazy?

That's unreal.

So they're saying that because people

don't know the truth because of the mainstream media is being driven by the Republicans.

Oh, absolutely.

It's not that you're totally out of touch with the everyday person.

No.

It's that the media isn't on your side enough.

Exactly.

That's the lesson you should take from this.

When you look at the ratings of the left on MSNBC and CNN,

it is true now.

Nobody believes them.

Nobody believes them.

Look how hard they work to say CRT isn't true.

That this is all racist nonsense coming from racist parents.

Yeah, they claimed it wasn't.

It doesn't exist in virginity schools at all.

Right.

Right.

Look at how

they're claiming that

the situation in the country, he's added more jobs than any president ever.

Well, yeah, because no one was working when he was elected.

No one was working.

It's a pandemic, guys.

Right.

Remember, you guys were telling us none of our businesses could be open?

So I don't think bragging about how many jobs you've added is really much of anything.

Listen to this.

Of course, conservative media did not become a cultural force in just the past three months.

So it can't be uniquely responsible for the turn in public opinion against Biden.

Or at all.

What has predictably changed is the mainstream media's posture towards the president.

This was most overt in its coverage of Afghanistan withdrawal when the mainstream media subjected Biden to weeks of relentlessly

and, in my view, unjustifiably negative coverage.

Yes, those poor babies.

What did they do wrong there?

What?

I don't know.

I mean, Jen Saki told us nothing went wrong.

Exactly right.

It could not be seen as anything other than a success, and yet the media did that.

He couldn't have thought.

Biden said he couldn't have thought of a way it could have gone any better.

It's never gone any better.

Every war ends that way.

Have you ever seen a war occur?

It always ends the same way.

You leave thousands of your citizens to die in the war zone.

And leave them millions of dollars in equipment.

Yeah, that's what you do.

Yes, you get

all the fancy equipment, all the stuff that they've been checking.

Do you remember in 1946 with the Nazi resurgence in Germany?

Yeah.

It was crazy.

They all came back in and took over again.

Yeah.

Oh, wait.

So,

wait a minute.

So, here's MSNBC last night.

They had a full meltdown.

I want to play this.

And if everyone but

Well, Stu and Pat can keep your headphones on.

I want everyone else in the audience not to listen for about 20 seconds, and we will double the amount of people that have heard this

from MSNBC.

Here it is.

Listen, I think we know the answer to some of this.

I watched Glenn Young's interviews on Fox News, and he did nothing that clares.

He did not.

This is the anchor, by the way.

He worshipped at the altar of Donald Trump on Fox News.

He flew an insurrection flag at his rallies.

He simply didn't, he played dumb about

a Zoom rally.

He did not really put much distance between himself and Donald Trump on the big lie or the deadly insurrection in which police officers were maimed by flagpoles.

So keep it.

He keep doing this.

I think that the real

is that

critical race theory,

which isn't real,

the suburbs.

15 points

to the Trump insurrection endorsed Republican.

What do Democrats do about that?

Great question.

Great question.

It's really balanced.

Yeah.

You know, that's a fascinating one.

They should continue down this same road for the 2022.

Can I tell you something?

It's working, guys.

It scares me.

It scares me.

I mean, yes, it scares me, too.

Democrats might win all the races.

Oh, it goes so well for them next year.

Yeah.

They need this strategy.

They really do.

I hope they don't continue to do that.

That's exactly what they're going to do.

I like that.

They never learn

they are in a bubble.

They live in this place where everyone agrees with them.

Every single person agrees with them.

And so they don't change.

They don't learn.

They didn't learn in 2016.

They don't learn now.

And people are,

I think they actually think that if they say it enough, they'll convince people that it's true.

And that was a Nicole Wallace, by the way, who's a former Republican.

That's not even like their Democrat.

That's their Republican thing now.

I am fascinated, too,

by understanding that not only apparently is critical race theory not being taught in school, it now isn't real.

Like all of these colleges and universities that have departments set up to study it, it's not even real at all.

What are they doing with their time?

I don't know.

Well, it's not as real as the insurrection flag.

Oh, yeah.

No, you do that.

He flies out everywhere he goes.

Hang on just a second.

I just need to take a break for this.

Okay.

Oh,

design.

President Dementia.

What's the last part?

Well, you missed it because we won't be doing that again.

No.

That would be terrible.

We're telling you today

what not to do in your life.

We

are gloating here so that you understand that's bad to do.

No.

Bad.

Don't do that today.

Maybe that's what MSNBC is doing.

Maybe.

Maybe.

Go away.

Let me tell you about Relief Factor.

Imagine waking up in the morning and bouncing out of bed, ready to face the day and anything that the day has to offer.

By the way, I saw the Rolling Stones last night here in Dallas.

Really?

Yeah, you didn't know they were in town?

No.

Yeah, yeah.

I wish I would have told you.

Yeah, I wish I would have too.

Yeah.

I was looking for people to go.

No, really, were you dumping tickets?

Dumping tickets.

No, Rafe said to me a few weeks ago, he's like, hey, dad, the Rolling Stones are coming.

I'm like...

The Rolling Stones?

You want to see the Rolling Stones?

My son, 17.

And he said, paint it black.

And I'm like, you're a fan of the Rolling Stones?

Wow.

And it was a surprisingly young crowd.

I mean, I went to ELO, CELO, and it was like,

they were good, though.

They were great, but it was an older audience.

Yeah.

This was a shocking young audience.

Shocking.

He's, how old do you think he is?

What, Mick?

Yeah.

I think Jagger's 77.

79.

79.

79.

And he sounds exactly the same.

He's,

I mean, he's in incredible shape.

Everybody else is like,

but

unbelievable.

Yeah.

Unbelievable.

I need a little relief factor.

He's probably, he was probably with some 20-year-old last night.

Anyway, relief factor.

If your body is experiencing pain,

you don't have to live that way.

Apparently, if you do a lot of drugs in the 60s, you're fine later.

It's relieffactor.com.

That's relief factor.com.

It's not a drug.

It reduces inflammation, hits you in three different ways.

It was developed by doctors.

Try it for three weeks.

See if it works for you.

It's worked for me.

I've got my life back.

ReliefFactor.com, 800-500-8384.

ReliefFactor.com, 800-500-8384.

10 seconds, station ID.

Wow.

Well, let's look at the school boards.

School boards around the country.

Conservatives now have a majority of the Carroll Independent School District in the Dallas suburb of Southlake, where the parents previously led an electoral revolt

against

racial equity.

This one is amazing, too, for another reason, Glenn, because this seat was the seat that now turns the school board against the CRT stuff that was being floated there.

And

in the meantime, since this revolt happened, NBC News did this big documentary and podcast series about how terribly racist this town is.

Of course, it's completely nonsense.

They have like a couple of incidents from 10 years ago where a teenager said a racial slur, and that's like their whole case about this town being racist.

What they were doing was the teenage girls were singing a rap song.

Yeah.

The lyrics from a rap song.

It's completely ridiculous.

But the best part about this is NBC has dumped, I don't know how much money in advertising how bad this particular town in Texas is because they're so racisty.

And the guy

race they're super racisty.

The guy who won yesterday for the school board to turn the school board

is an NBC sales executive.

He actually works

for NBC.

Whoa, that's so great.

That is so great.

I don't think he works for them now.

He might not ever today.

Three challengers who oppose school COVID masks mandates defeated incumbents in Iowa on the Johnson School Board.

They were backed by 1776 action.

They're trying to say here that it's dark money.

Candidates who favored a quicker return in person instruction, Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, the school board elections went towards the Republicans.

In Douglas County, outside of Denver, the conservative vote for kids first, a slate of four candidates leading comfortably yet this morning.

And in the Oleth, I guess, and Blue Valley in Kansas.

It looks like the conservative newcomers that campaigned for parent choice and against mask mandates, CRT, and against gender issues in schools

were winning last night as well.

So that CRT thing, well, now we know it really doesn't exist, at least in those areas.

Minneapolis, the voters there rejected the proposal to replace the police department with something else that,

well, I mean,

something.

It'll be something else.

Voters opposed the amendment by a 12-point margin.

Remarkable.

Because that one early on looked like it might get through.

And

they apparently did not want to defund the police as much as they thought they did.

Correct.

Correct.

Also, Buffalo, New York.

This one's amazing.

The mayoral candidate and Democratic socialist India Walton appears to have lost her race with an unusual write in candidate.

Yeah.

A mayor, Mayor Bottom.

The mayor, yeah.

The mayor lost the primary and then decided to try to run as an independent, couldn't get on the ballot, then said, all right, I'll run as a write-on, a write-in candidate, and beat the Democratic socialist

as a write-in candidate.

That's pretty remote.

She was a self-avowed socialist.

Yeah, Democratic socialist.

And AOC went up.

All of the big, you know, Chuck Schumer, everybody big was up there campaigning for, and a write-in candidate, a write-in candidate won.

This is the Glennbach program.

Wait until you hear what happened in Seattle.

I don't think it was a good night for Democrats and progressives.

New.

All right, Thanksgiving.

There is nothing better than being surrounded by family and friends who have made food.

I mean, amazing food and desserts.

Now, if you're somebody who is trying to watch your waistline, because I know I am.

I mean, you do not get a body like this just through happenstance.

You have to work on it.

And that's why I have Bilt Bars.

One slice of pie, 300 plus calories.

However, Bilt Bar, which will give you the same kind of satisfaction made with real chocolate, 130 calories with only four grams of sugar and plenty of protein.

So replace the coconut cream pie or the pumpkin pie with a Built bar.

And I mean, you know, you don't have to do it for both holidays, but maybe one holiday

would be good and wise to stay away from all of that.

Built.com, you're going to love them and they're healthy for you.

It's built.com.

If you want to extend your Gload Fest today, you got to listen to the podcast of Pat Gray Unleash is available as well on Blaze TV.

Blazetv.com/slash Glenn.

From SelenaZeto.com is the one and only Selena Zito.

Welcome to the program, Selena.

How are you?

Good morning, Sen.

You looks like you called it again.

Well, I think

the thing is, is if you're trying to understand an election and you're trying to understand a sort of sentiments and

how granular voting can be and personal for

people, is to literally go to them and listen to them.

Listen to what they're talking about.

They may not always tell you who they're voting for, but they will tell you what issues are important to them.

And if you understand human behavior, you can start to understand

that when something is changing.

So it was a very good night last night for anyone other than progressive socialists.

Even in San Francisco and Seattle, the socialists did poorly.

And then

there were things

like

the

truck driver who had just had enough in New Jersey, spent less than $200 on his campaign, and looks like he just beat the state Senate president, a Democrat.

I know.

I mean, that's fantastic.

What a great story.

His name is Edward Durr.

Yeah, absolutely.

Look, if you strike a cord with voters, if you understand what their concerns are, if you are as deeply rooted to the community as they are, you are going to capture

their imagination.

People that are successful in governing are people that are aspirational, people who are able to make

people believe they are part of something bigger than themselves.

And that, if you listen to Glenn Yunken, if you listen to Jason Mayaras, and if you listen to the House of Delegate candidates that were conservatives they all had that message in various different ways they understood the people and what the people wanted and what the people were longing for and and that is they

that is what I wrote about in in my book The Great Revolt I looked at these sort of different

coalition or different archetypes of voters who really didn't have a lot in common except their rootedness to community and their sort of

unhappiness with our cultural curators who run our businesses, our sports entities, our institutions, academia, and Hollywood.

And

that sense of not being respected by those institutions is what drew them together.

That aspiration was incredibly important in this election.

And I think that the Democrats really failed because they don't know how to run unless Trump is on the ticket.

It was never about Donald Trump.

Voters, whether you loved him or liked him or hated him,

they have moved on.

Voters don't act in the way

of looking through the rearview mirror.

They're always forward-looking, especially in local elections, because the roads, the bridges, education, taxation, inflation, and economic development are constantly on their minds.

And that's sort of what people miss.

And I want to also point out to your listeners: one of the others, two of the other sort of interesting races for Democrats was the race for mayor of Buffalo.

Were you familiar with that?

Yes, yes.

And

the referendum on policing in Minneapolis.

All these strident or woke sort of

platforms and positions failed miserably because people want police to protect them.

They don't want a socialist to

run their city because

mayors are supposed to be good managers.

They're not supposed to be ideologues.

And

so, you know, and Democrats and the media really failed to grasp

what voters were so displeased with.

And they focused too much on Trump and they focused too much on

every time someone said something they didn't like, that person was a racist.

I mean, people just get tired of that.

So

the

is this a rejection?

I mean,

I'm trying to put together all of the pieces, and I think there's lots of reasons, and you've named most of them,

but

there is this feeling that the left is elitist.

They have their own language, and most of the times they're talking, you know, it's latinx.

It's latinx.

Nobody says latinx except I mean.

I don't know how you say that.

I didn't even know how you said it.

I just looked at it and was like, I don't know what that word is.

Yeah, it's latinx.

And which I think is so New Jersey.

Doesn't that sound like Tony Soprano?

Hey, I got a latinx, so hey, you know?

But,

you know, they have their own language, and I think it is off-putting to a lot of people.

They just feel this elitism coming at them.

Is it

this plus the agenda that we've seen in Washington, you know, plus the economy.

What is the what does it say?

Let's start here.

What does it say about Joe Biden?

Anything?

Here?

Yes.

Here's the, if you want one word to describe this election cycle, I would use the word overreach.

And it is an overreach on policy.

It's an overreach on elitism.

It's an overreach in believing that you were sent to Washington

with a mandate, and you certainly weren't because you barely won.

You don't have a majority in the Senate and you barely have a majority in the House.

Everything is about overreach.

Same, and I would add on overreach on COVID, overreach on mandate, overreach on

negative

thing.

It's overreach.

That is the best word.

And voters always want to either put the brakes on that.

or correct it.

If they're putting the brakes on it, then you will only see it in a handful of elections because Democrats will then get the message.

But if they want to correct it, that means you have new people in the conservative coalition.

I would argue that is the direction that this is going because of the influx of blue-collar voters into the conservative movement.

Yes.

That aren't just white.

They're black.

They're Hispanic.

They're Asian.

I mean, they lost a lot of their black and Hispanic vote in Virginia.

I mean, that should should be very concerning to the Democrats.

But, you know, I have been punishing myself all morning and listening and watching on social media, but also on MSNBC and CNN, watching the reaction and their belief as to what went wrong.

And I'm just,

I shouldn't be stunned, but I'm stunned.

Oh, I hear.

Yeah, they think, well, if only we would have passed $3 trillion.

I'm like, no,

no voter wanted that.

Voters wanted a regular sort of good infrastructure bill that keeps the roads and bridges and creates more broadband.

That's what voters want.

And also to keep their water clean.

They do not want social engineering and

environmental justice and criminal justice and free everything.

Voters never voted for that.

Okay, so

you're a student of history enough to be able to, I think, answer this with some backing.

In 1919, this is the mood.

What we're feeling right now, I think, is the mood that was happening in 1919.

Wilson went crazy and overreached like crazy.

But what he did is when people started rejecting him, he said, I've got to go out on the road.

I've got to, they're just too stupid to get it.

I haven't made enough speeches for them to get it.

I think that's what they're going to do this time around, which led to 10 years of the Republicans and the progressives being banished until they cloaked themselves again

and shuffled things up.

Are they going to go stronger?

Are they going to cloak themselves?

What do you think is coming?

They're too arrogant to cloak themselves.

They do not believe that they are at fault for this happening.

They do believe the voters are stupid.

The same voters that they praised in 2020 have now become

the voters of stupid.

And that's sort of the big

hurdle that they have shown no

willingness to try to tackle.

So they're just going to double down.

They're going to go out and scold voters about not knowing, not understanding, not

believing that they know better and they're going to fix their lives.

People don't want their lives fixed.

They want to be able to achieve whatever they want to achieve on their own.

They want that sense of earning the next step, earning the next

milestone that they are able to achieve.

And even they also want to learn how to fail.

You know, that's an innate thing in the American DNA that the Democrats have been trying to squash for the past 12 years.

So here's what's frightening about all of this.

They become more and more arrogant, and they are so self-isolated that they convince each other that they are right and that everybody else is stupid.

And this is a group of people where you've got the president saying, my patience is wearing thin.

This is a group of people that will begin to really punish, not just scold, but to find ways to really punish people.

Yeah, well, in that effort, they are going to lose constituencies that they never should lose, you know, on paper.

People are not, you know, I...

I called this cycle way back in January, two days after

Biden was sworn in and just started eliminating people's jobs on the pipeline.

I said there is going to be a great awakening.

Here's what people missed in 2020.

While everyone focused on the Democrats' wins, slim as they were, they missed the red wave that had already started down ballot.

People, just in Pennsylvania alone, rejected wokeness,

and Republicans won in state Senate seats in places that have been

reliably Democrat for decades.

And no one paid attention to those results.

But I understood that this sort of great awakening was already in flux.

It started to sort of poke up

during the first few days after the inauguration.

But I will tell you the most pivotal thing that happened for Democrats, and I don't think people understand this, is how is Afghanistan.

And we talked about this yesterday.

That

negligence, that negligence, and that is the key word, that negligence

is what made people stop and say, wait, what?

This is not what I bought into.

I did want us to be out of Afghanistan.

However, I did not want it

at the cost of people's lives.

I did not want it at the cost of our reputation.

And people saw through the lies and are continuing to see through the lies on this issue.

I've only got 30 seconds.

Are these two bills waiting in Congress?

Are they going to be jammed through or do you see the

sane Democrats say, I am no way, no way am I getting on board with that?

See, I have always thought that their second bill wasn't going to pass.

And I still think that it's not going to.

I think the infrastructure, the bipartisan infrastructure bill does pass.

And I think that's the end of that.

That's huge.

That is huge.

The Glenbeck Program.

This is the Glenbeck Program.

I am so thrilled, coming up in just a few minutes, to have a new friend of mine, Jim Lentz.

He is the former CEO of Toyota North America.

He is also the former chief executive officer for,

or no, sorry, the chief operating officer for Toyota Motor Corporation in Japan.

The guy has been responsible for so much, including moving Toyota from California to Plano, Texas.

But we were having dinner recently, and I just asked him to explain the problem with the supply chain and what it means and how long is it going to take to fix it.

And he just has

real knowledge of the supply chain and can explain it in such a way that just boggled my mind.

I understood it, but holy cow, it is much more than anybody really thinks.

He's coming in in just a few minutes.

Also, continued updates on what is happening with last night's election.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Thank you so much.

Sometimes the most important issues are the most complicated.

Take finding insurance.

Whether it's for your car or your home, endless companies and coverage options that you need to consider.

And,

you know, you want to just talk to some real people.

Doing it online is a real nightmare.

This is where the zebra comes in, thezebra.com.

You can compare car and home quotes from every major insurance company in under five minutes, giving you all the facts you need to make the right decision.

It's the fastest way to find the right coverage at the right price.

The zebra actually saves the average American $922 a year on home and auto combined.

That's a heck of a lot of money.

Save time and money in minutes.

Compare quotes for free at thezebra.com/slash beck.

That's thezebra.com/slash beck.

We're going to cover the election here for a couple of minutes, and then we're going to go into one of the main issues, and that is the economy

with a guy who has given me an entirely new perspective on the supply chain.

Next.

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

This

is

the Glenback program.

I will tell you right now, the one thing we are not going to do is gloat.

We're not...

Right, Stu?

We are absolutely not.

That was

definitely not gloating today.

We're above that.

Yeah.

Oh man.

The program begins in 60 seconds.

I've got a guy in that you're going to love.

He is the former CEO of Toyota North America and COO of Toyota Motor Corporation.

And we were having dinner the other night and he explained the supply chain.

Wait until you hear A, how amazing it is, and then try to figure out how are we going to get this back.

That's coming up in 60 seconds.

First, let me tell you about Autumn.

She wrote in recently talked about the Tuttle Twins books and what they mean to her family.

She said, Glenn, I have to let you know this book series has meant the world to our family.

I read from them to my six kids.

Six kids, you know what's causing that, Autumn, right?

I think they do.

Really?

Okay.

Anyway, six kids, she says, I'm home schooling.

Six kids, you are a saint.

Anyway, when we finish all of them, we start right over again.

Our reading has led to relevant discussions of current events and an understanding of government and the law at a much deeper level.

Listen, waking America up from its slumber, reminding ourselves of who we are, starts with our kids.

Our kids are going to be the ones that really fight this battle in the future.

And if you are expecting them to be taught through osmosis or anything at school about

how the free market actually works, why a republic is the best system out there,

you're not going to find it.

You're just not going to find it in their classrooms.

Tuttle Twins Books.

It's a great series and they have a 35% discount off their books right now.

They're giving away the activity workbook at no additional cost.

It's a big discount.

Just go to tuttletwinsbeck.com.

That's tuttletwinsbeck.com get the discount keep your kids sane in this socialist world tuttletwinsbeck.com before we go and introduce you to uh jim lentz i want to get a quick update uh from stu on and again

hey they fought a good battle Let's not cry.

Hey, we're all in this together, guys.

We're in this together.

So, okay.

All right, so here are some of the results from last night.

So, Glenn Youngkin is the big news.

He wins in Virginia in what would have been just a month ago a shocking upset.

It's important to say because we got to that point in the last week before the election where we thought he might win, that this is

a devastating defeat for Terry McCullough.

And it couldn't happen to a better end.

It really couldn't.

And I will tell you, I have lots to say on this.

I think just the Terry McCullough loss

tells us many things that we need to know.

I'll cover that coming up next hour.

Basically, progressives lost almost everywhere, including in Buffalo, where a socialist Democrat lost to a write-in candidate

who was just a normal, crazy Democrat.

The only real victory for real hardcore progressivism around the country was in Boston, the mayor in Boston, who's an Elizabeth Warren clone.

She wins there.

But they were falling apart.

Conservative, I can't say conservative.

People who are more normal

and more conservative, if you can use that word, in San Francisco were winning

last night.

I mean,

Seattle, the school board in San Francisco flipped away from these people who were saying, we're going to rename George Washington high school.

Yep.

It's big, big, big.

A couple more big school board victories in Texas as well.

One other interesting situation was in New York, not really covered too much, but there's three ballot initiatives, all of them sort of trying to open up elections like same-day registration and things like that.

All of them failed and failed badly in New York, which is remarkable.

And then the other big race that everyone's watching right now is New Jersey.

It's very, very close as we speak.

The governor race there, Biden won New Jersey by 16 points.

Currently, it's 49.66% to 49.60%.

Murphy, the Democrat, is leading at this point.

You know, as someone who goes through all this stuff all the time, the votes that are outstanding are largely in blue counties.

And I would expect Murphy to hold on to this, though it's going to be very, very close

and not a Dunson

earthquake.

Even the fact that it was close is almost more impressive than what happened in Virginia.

So the economy, schools, the culture,

what's happening in Washington, D.C., the...

the wild unpopularity for Joe Biden all played a role.

But one of the big things that everyone was talking about across the country as they were coming out of the polls was the economy and the supply chain is really hard to understand i was having a dinner with a friend jim lentz he is um

he he's been the head of you were the head of toyota for how long uh sales side about six years and about seven years ceo for north america okay so he was the ceo for toyota uh motor corporation of north america and the chief operating officer of the parent company in Japan.

He was there for all of the big things, including the move from California to Texas, Plano, Texas.

And also you were there for the big earthquake

in Japan, which I think would play a little bit of a role that you could learn from now on supply chain issues.

Oh, very much so.

Very much so.

Okay, so can you explain the supply chain to the audience like you did to me when I asked you?

I said, so what is happening with the supply chain?

Sure.

So the biggest thing to understand is supply chain is a system.

And there are a lot of different components to it.

And it really starts with forecasting and ordering what you think.

So as a manufacturer, I have to forecast what my future needs of automobiles will be.

I place that in manufacturing order, and let's say something that's being produced overseas.

It gets produced, it gets shipped, it gets processed at the port, it then gets transported, whether it gets trucked to the ultimate

place of sale or a warehouse, or it gets moved into a rail yard and then it gets railed, and eventually it gets sold.

So the challenge is when the supply chain breaks down,

all of that has to operate in sync.

If you concentrate as we are today on just the port operations, you're just going to move that supply chain problem further down the road.

Because let's just, and I'm sure it doesn't work this way, but let's just say you have shipment of a whole bunch of steering wheels coming in.

Well,

what are you going to do with all the steering wheels?

Because you're missing the chips because the chips aren't in.

You need all of them to come in in an ordered way, right?

Right.

And can you explain how...

sophisticated the supply chain is for fact for factories like Toyota.

Yeah.

Well, you know, so literally, the Japanese kind of invented just-in-time.

And And just-in-time means when I build a vehicle in my plant, literally the part that goes on that truck may only arrive hours before production.

In fact, our plant here in Texas that builds the Tundra, we actually have suppliers on site, the seat supplier.

So they will build their seats in the same sequence that I build my vehicle.

So that seat literally arrives maybe 20 minutes before it needs to to be able to go down that line.

And I I think the biggest thing as a result of all this, lean manufacturing was created to take waste out of the system.

So you didn't have to warehouse 30 and 60 days worth of parts.

Because

when you were at Ford, this is many years ago, almost 40 years ago.

When you were at Ford,

you told me that there were times when you ran out of the right color seats, but that was just it.

That's right.

You put in whatever you had at the end of the year.

So

the world's gotten away from that.

But the big question that COVID and this supply chain crisis has created is can lean manufacturing as we know it today, just in time, literally hours before it's needed, is that the best way to go?

Or are we going to need to go backwards a little bit, create more warehousing so we don't have these big glitches?

It's going to be interesting to see how this gets fixed because there's an old adage in the car business, and that is when things were going wrong, you'd say the bull is in the ditch.

And the big question is not how the bull got there, not whose fault it was, not how you're going to keep him out of the ditch in the future.

The question is, how do you get him out of the ditch today?

So today, we need to be concentrating our efforts on the supply chain in these ports.

And how can we get these ports cleared as quickly as possible?

So I've talked to the head of the truckers,

independent truckers.

They say there's not a shortage of trucks.

There's a shortage of place to put stuff.

And they say the trucks, the reason why they have problems with truckers is sometimes these truckers will wait eight hours at a port and they're not getting paid for that.

They're not getting paid to wait.

So what is the problem?

If you were president, how would you be fixing this?

I would go to somewhere like Warden and get a systems expert on logistics to go go down to the port and observe exactly what's happening.

Where are the bottlenecks?

Is the bottleneck trucks coming into the port?

Is the bottleneck trucks going out of the port?

Is it bottleneck

how many cranes we have to move it?

I mean, there are so many issues.

And if you look at Long Beach as an example, they've been processing roughly 18,000 containers a day.

Jeez.

There are 29,000 containers a day arriving.

Oh, my gosh.

And, you know, as I started to research this for your show today,

you can go back to March, and there was a huge backlog in March.

So this didn't just take place last month.

This has been going on for some time.

And nobody did anything.

No, and there are 540,000 containers sitting on ships waiting to be processed.

Oh, my gosh.

And only 18,000.

Being processed.

So if you look at those numbers, you've got to increase your your throughput by 60 percent just to keep up with what's coming not even to cut into the backlog of what you have there so the the only way to tackle this is to look at the entire system how can we improve the efficiency every step along the way because if if for example i find a way to work 24 7 at every term terminal and I start putting out all these containers, well, your next problem is going to be at the railhead.

You're not going to have enough trains to move the merchandise.

And then if you fix that problem, then where are you going to put all this stuff?

You're not going to have the warehouse space.

If you go into Walmart today and there's something that's not in stock and you say, well, do you have it in the back room?

There isn't a back room.

Right.

So this is.

That's why like our supermarkets are

restocked.

Like, what is it?

Like something created like 18 times a day.

Yeah.

Because it's just in time, right?

They predict when they're going to be out of these products.

Yeah.

I mean, it happens at our plants.

I mean, literally, at one end of the plant, we'll have parts arrive, and literally, within hours, it is taken from there and it's put on the assembly line.

Rarely do parts sit for a very long period of time.

Well, that seems like an impossible problem.

to fix because you have to fix it from both ends.

And a lot of the stuff in these 540,000 containers are not going to be used right away, right?

Right, right.

Which is going to cause a problem if they are parts used to complete whatever it might be, a television, an automobile, a piece of furniture.

It creates that problem as well.

And understand, too, in China today, their main port, they have problems with electricity, they have a problem with manpower, and they're likely running short on cargo containers.

Because nothing is coming back to them.

Right, right.

So at some point in time, you're going to have this glut sitting over there ready to come back.

And this armada is going to keep on coming until this system gets fixed.

Now, the big challenge is

the port infrastructure needs to be improved.

In the case of Long Beach, I don't think there's much more land to deal with.

Right.

So until you can improve the efficiency, And that takes someone to sit down and actually observe what happens.

At Toyota as an example, we have a department that works in our plants just on efficiency.

And they'll sit and they'll observe what's going on on an assembly line to figure out where are we wasting time?

How can we change something to improve the safety or improve the efficiency of what we do?

And it may just be something that saves two or three seconds, but it makes a huge difference over time.

That same type of thought process has to go into fixing a complex problem.

So was this doomed to fail from the beginning?

I mean,

should we be looking for the short term to get us back to this kind of a system?

It seems to me one of the things we learned was there are some things like chips and medicine that maybe we should make here in America just for our own strategic

defense reasons.

But does this system go back to the way it was?

Well, I think the difficulty is if you look at California, the ports in Long Beach, I believe they were up 25 or 30 percent even last year.

And this year, they're up another 20 or 30 percent.

And if you're landlocked and that much throughput is increasing,

it was inevitable that you were going to have challenges unless you changed how you operated.

You know, the difficulty with just moving chips to the U.S.

as an example, there are roughly 50 chip manufacturers in the world.

50% of all the chips come out of Taiwan.

I need you to listen to this.

50% of all chips come out of Taiwan.

Roughly 90% of all the really high-tech, sophisticated chips come out of Taiwan.

Most all the chips come out of somewhere in Asia.

If it's not Taiwan, it's Japan, it's Vietnam.

It's China number two, isn't it?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I think if you add Taiwan and China together, they are by far the largest.

So if Taiwan falls to China, they have a gun to our head.

To the globe.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And the difficulty is it takes a long time to build one of these plants, and they're very capital intensive.

You know, a new chip plant today is $15 to $20 billion to build.

So you can't exactly change that overnight.

Aaron Powell, Jr.: So

we're going to continue our conversation here in just a second.

This is what, when you think about Build Back Better, which is just a slogan to change the financial

strategy of our system, this is the kind of stuff that we should be talking about.

Can we get relief to help build chip manufacturing plants here in America?

Can we redesign our ports?

Instead,

they're going to green energy and all of this garbage that is not going to help us out in the future to remain

ahead of the rest of the world, or at least even competitive with the rest of the world.

Back in just a second, 60 seconds to tell you about Deborah Ann.

She lives in Massachusetts.

She writes in about her experience with taking Relief Factor for pain.

She said, I started taking Relief Factor four days ago

after hearing about it on your show for so long.

Amazingly, my hip pain in four days is almost completely gone used to be i had horrible time sleeping because of that pain but not anymore i am absolutely loving how i'm feeling these days thank you so much deborahanne that's a i mean that's close to a miracle four days and you're already pain free um you know if you're taking it for three weeks you should start to see some relief of your pain and if you're not seeing anything in three weeks stop taking it it you're probably you're you're part of the 30 30% probably that it won't work on.

It has given me my life back and so many of our listeners.

10 seconds station ID.

So

am I wrong with that assessment that

we're not doing the right thing, it doesn't seem like we're focused on the right things as a nation?

Well, and part of it, I think if you look at Build Back Better, there is money in there to build chip plants in the U.S.

There is money in there.

And I think there's infrastructure to try and improve the ports.

But it's being undershadowed by some of the rest of this garbage stuff.

I'll say garbage.

You don't have to say garbage.

So,

you know, trying to get people prepared for the short term, I've been saying for a while, buy your Christmas presents now

because when they run out, they run out, right?

Yeah, no.

What industries do you think are going to be most affected?

How is the consumer going to be most affected by this?

Do you have any idea?

Well, you know, I can speak primarily the car industry.

Yeah.

You know, right now, consumers are spending a lot more for vehicles.

If you go into buy a new car today, chances are they are not discounting them because an industry that typically has good selection, 60 days worth of cars on the ground, today they may have five days worth of cars on the ground.

You were trying to buy a car recently and you couldn't get the options that you wanted.

Yeah, I mean,

it's ordered, but

they won't even give me a date and when they expect to deliver it.

Yeah, because they may not know because they're not sure when the parts are going to come in.

Because if you look at it, and chips are a big part of it, but an average car has anywhere from 50 to, say, 150 chips.

If it's a hybrid or an EV, it may have thousands of chips.

And the more sophisticated your car, the more chips it has.

anti-lock brakes,

lane departure warning, dynamic cruise control, navigation, all of that creates more sense.

So, is it possible that we are entering a time to where your car breaks down and you just don't have one for a while because it's just sitting in the shop.

They don't have the parts.

Yeah, I mean, good news is, at least with chips, that doesn't happen very often, but sure.

I mean,

if you're bringing some of your parts from overseas, in our case, we buy $33 billion worth of parts a year in the U.S.

So fewer and fewer and fewer come, but sure.

You have a problem with your car,

your cruise control goes out and you need a new component.

It may take quite a while to get it.

And as you mentioned,

to be able to produce vehicles today, some of the manufacturers are reducing the options that are on them.

Back in just a second, the supply chain and the coming economy.

This is the Glenback Program.

Also, we'll give you an update, and I have a lot more to say about last night's election coming up on the program and we'll have another update on who won, who lost yesterday.

Really good news.

You know, if you're a fan of this program, you're in a happy place today.

Patriot Mobile is one of those companies that we all need to start doing business with.

AT ⁇ T just did a big session this week where they were teaching their employees if you were white that you're part of the problem and you need to be less white.

I don't even know what that means, quite honestly,

But that just goes to reinforce I don't want to do business with AT ⁇ T.

I don't want to do business with people who are funding Planned Parenthood like Verizon is.

I would rather, because I can get the same great service and I can get it at half the cost, I can get that from Patriot Mobile, a company that is not,

let me put it this way, a company that is reflecting my values.

I'd rather be for something than against something.

And Patriot Mobile is something that will give me the same great service, half the cost, and I can be for them because they're for me.

Patriotmobile.com slash Beck.

Go there now.

Back to back tonight, Studos America and Glenn Beck on TV.

Make sure to check it out, blazetv.com slash Glenn.

The promo code is Glenn.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

We're very glad that you're here today.

We have an update on what's happening

in the.

It was a good night.

It was a very, very good night, in case you missed that.

All the way from

Seattle

to Virginia, believe it or not.

Not a good night if you are a deep progressive.

We're talking to Jim Lentz.

He's in.

He's the former CEO of Toyota North America and the former COO of Toyota Motor Corporation

in

Japan.

And

in the Wall Street Journal,

I think it's, yeah, this week, two days ago, there was a full-page ad that Toyota took out.

Let's not play politics with the environment, the American autoworker, and the American consumer.

Toyota believes the future of automobiles is electric.

We also believe Congress needs to provide incentives for the purchase of electric vehicles to speed the transition to the electric future.

But some in Congress have a different idea.

They want to give an extra $4,500 incentive exclusively for electric vehicles made by workers who have decided to join a union.

What does it say to the American auto worker who's decided not to join a union?

It says

their work is worth $4,500 less because they made that choice.

This doesn't, I mean, this is the problem in Washington:

A,

I think

car business is the future is electric, possibly hydrogen in the end.

I don't know for sure, but the American consumer is not being allowed to drive that innovation.

And now, if you really cared about climate change,

why would you say

You know,

how many car companies are union?

I mean, do you know the balance?

I don't know the numbers.

Is it 50-50 or any idea?

Probably a greater percentage non-union in this country.

So that's crazy.

Yeah,

it's nuts because

the administration has put out the challenge of selling 50% electric vehicles by 2030.

That's a huge number to hit.

But if 60% or 50%, call it 50-50, of the manufacturers can't participate in that because of a a $4,500 less incentive.

And to put $4,500 in perspective, that's $100 a month in payments.

That's huge.

So that's a huge number for the average person that's going into purchase.

So, you know, to me, it's just,

it's bad policy.

It's not fair to that worker.

I mean, what are you telling that worker that is a great American worker that builds vehicles?

You're telling them he's not worth as much.

You're telling the consumer that you really have to buy from these three manufacturers, even though you may want to buy from someone else.

100 bucks a month is a big difference.

You're saying that while the environment's important, the drive for unionization is more important.

And what are you telling the taxpayer?

Because these aren't the government's dollars.

These are taxpayer dollars.

And basically you're telling the taxpayer that it's okay for the government to use your tax dollars to put their thumb on the scale of competition.

And to me, that's the biggest problem in all this.

So

I agree with you.

The problem is this crony capitalism that we are

only

making much worse with the ESG and everything that's happening in Scotland this week.

They are picking winners and losers.

And this happened.

I mean, I am probably the only person crazy enough to cancel a multi-year contract with General Motors.

The company tried to get General Motors to advertise on talk radio forever, and then they went into business with the government, with TARP.

And

I said, you know, when you get back out of business with the government, that's great.

But you just told me before this president came in that hydrogen was the future.

And when he gets in office, the first thing he does is say, you drop hydrogen and you'll get this money.

How can I represent a company that

sells themselves out like that so fast?

They're picking winners and losers left and right, and that stops innovation.

It does.

And the government isn't good at picking winners and losers.

What works in America is let companies compete and let consumers choose who they like the best, what products they like the best.

You know, in our case, we do believe that electrification is going going to be the future.

But I can't tell you if that is a battery-powered car, a hydrogen-powered car, a hybrid car, a plug-in hybrid car.

It's up to the consumers to make that decision.

And the risk in

not allowing the consumer to make that decision.

Roughly in the marketplace, there are 250 million cars on the road.

Average age is about 12 years.

So if you really want to clean up the environment, the key is to get the old cars off the road.

And yes, in a perfect world, if they were all electric, it would be wonderful.

But the unintended consequence is people either don't want or can't afford the electric car.

So what are they going to do?

They're going to drive older cars longer.

And they're going to create a bigger CO2 problem over time.

And

they also don't, I mean, this is the thing, Jim.

You know, you said earlier that China is having electrical problems They are their power grid is they're going dark some some cities some factories are literally dark in China

And they're building a new coal-fire plant every week in China if the more we put onto the power grid the more cars we're all plugging in

there look what happened to Texas last year because we added wind power and solar power and then turned the coal-fire plants down and our nuclear energy down.

You can't do that while adding all of these cars.

I mean, we're going to be looking at real serious electrical problems, are we not?

Yeah,

I would guess that's the case as well.

You know, part of it is you want to help, as a manufacturer, you want to help lead consumers to a greener future.

But if you get too far out in front of the consumer, they will lose track of what you're trying to accomplish.

And that's the biggest fear.

That's why we think as long as we can, building hybrids and plug-in hybrids and electrics, and eventually we believe the world is hydrogen

because it's just a better battery.

There are challenges with batteries.

People today, 75, almost 80% of what people are buying today are pickup trucks and SUVs.

They're bigger vehicles.

Those take enormous batteries because of their weight to move.

It's just not an efficient way to do things.

E equals MC square.

The bigger the battery, the more power you need to move it.

Because of the weight.

But in the case of hydrogen, you're producing electricity on board.

So you need much smaller batteries, much less weight.

There are challenges with infrastructure to be able to build out a hydrogen infrastructure, but there are challenges with an EV infrastructure today as well.

How does the average person who might live in in a apartment or a condominium complex, they don't have a garage, how are they plugging their car in?

It's a huge challenge.

It's a huge challenge.

Where in the case of hydrogen, I think people want cars to act just like gasoline cars in the future.

I don't want, I haven't bought an electric car because I don't want a car that only goes 400 miles.

That's ridiculous.

I like to drive across the country.

I don't want to be limited at 400 miles, and then I have to stop in the middle of some place and find a charging station.

That's not reasonable.

Yeah.

And in the case of hydrogen, you can refuel your vehicle in about the same amount of time it takes to refuel a gas in a car.

So, you know, and eventually battery technology will catch up.

But we just have to understand that it's going to take time.

And let's not have perfect be the enemy of progress.

So we are, but we are putting rules down now that are

2030, 2050, which I think is a great goal, but not when you're mandating that you get there.

That's it, you know, it doesn't work that way.

Yeah, well, eventually, if you make a mistake, there's going to be pushback from consumers.

If you start telling consumers, I'm sorry, but the only thing you're going to be able to drive is a four-passenger car to make an EV efficient, and they're coming out of their escalate or they're coming out of their van, that's going to be a problem down the road.

And they're either not going to come out of the vehicle or they're just not going to be happy.

So companies like Toyota pushing back on this union thing.

So that gives me a lot of hope that there are companies that are standing up for common sense and saying, no, no, this doesn't make any sense at all.

They're not just folding to the green agenda.

Well, yeah, at all costs.

Yeah.

I mean, you can't because, you know, I've got a lot of stakeholders.

You know, I employ 36,000 people in the U.S.

through 10 manufacturing plants.

I've got 180,000 dealer personnel that rely on Toyota to make their livelihoods.

You know, between the dealers and Toyota, we've invested over $60 billion in this country.

So, you know,

we believe that we've earned a right for for a seat at the table.

We think we're part of the fabric of America.

You know, on a retail basis, more people purchase Toyota products than any other brand.

See, I have to tell you, going the opposite direction, I think the one that doesn't really have a seat at the table is standing in the room.

But the one who doesn't have a seat at the table is the government.

I mean, the government should be there just to go, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, wait, wait, wait.

No, what you guys are talking about at the table, you can't do because of the Constitution.

But they are leading the discussions at the table now.

And that's just, that's a recipe for disaster, I think.

And especially on the EV side.

I mean, frankly, you know, Tesla vehicles aren't going to get this.

Revian, so, so, so if you look at the, the really

companies that are really pushing the EV side, the real innovators, they're also locked out of this.

Right.

And it just Elon Musk is crazy about this.

He's got this and go nuts.

Yeah, yeah.

Jim, thank you so much.

You're very good.

I really appreciate it.

This is Jim Lentz, former CEO, Toyota North America, COO of Toyota Motor Corporation in Japan.

I hope to have you on again.

You're a fascinating guy.

Thank you so much, Jim Lentz.

Our sponsor this half hour is American Financing.

You got to get your financial house in the best shape it can be.

The concept of

storing up in good times for when bad time comes, old as the Bible and just as relevant today as it was then.

You could be saving money.

Now, where can you save money?

You know, you want to improve your financial status, you have to do one of two things.

You got to get a better job or more jobs,

or you have to save money.

Well, do both.

An easy way for you to save money is to consolidate your mortgage with all of your high interest credit cards or just to get a lower interest rate.

And please lock the interest rate in.

The interest rate has to come up.

It just has to come up if we're going to stop inflation.

American financing can help you.

There's no tricks and no obligation.

You just call them and see if they can help you.

I know several people in the audience that have called and I've done this and they're like, yeah, can't...

Can't help you.

I think you got a pretty good deal.

You are listening to the Glenbeck Program.

This is the Glenbeck program.

So just how bad was the defeat of the left?

I think you only have to go to New York City.

And while this guy's not a conservative,

he's he's a former cop.

So who's against Defund the Police activity?

Correct.

So in the midst of all this Defund the Police, even New Yorkers who are bad crap crazy, even New Yorkers have said, yeah,

we're not going down that road.

That's remarkable.

It really is.

Really,

almost exclusively across the country, the AOC wing of the party was absolutely handed defeat after defeat after defeat,

which is really good news because, I mean, as much as it is easier to defeat the AOC wing of the party when you're talking about elections, but you don't want people like that in power.

Like, God forbid, when they do sneak into office, they can do massive damage.

And you'd rather have, you'd rather have a sane Democratic Party if it were ever to exist again.

Yeah, I know.

So the fact that the AOC party,

wing of the party, is being shown to be an electoral loser over and over and over again is a good thing for the country.

It is.

By the way, tonight on the Wednesday night special, the insider story of the massive border crisis under President Biden.

This fiscal year, there have been over 1.7 million arrests on the southern border.

This is the highest number ever recorded, more than twice the population of Washington, D.C., three times the population of Wyoming.

And that's just the people who were caught crossing the border illegally.

In the past few few months, there's been around a thousand additional people per day that Border Patrol refers to as gotaways.

The Biden-Harris administration has been AWOL on this.

The useless debates that are going on.

Tonight, I'm sitting down with the recently ousted U.S.

Border Patrol Chief, Rodney Scott.

He is a 29-year border veteran who served under five different presidents.

Only one president has decided to politicize Scott's position, Rodney Scott.

He could have said a lot over the past several weeks about the disaster he has witnessed this year, but he's not a political hack.

He wanted to wait.

until the time was right to talk, and that time is tonight.

Join us tonight.

You want to hear what's really going on in the border?

How about the former border chief, the guy who has served under five different presidents?

He's going to talk about what happened

tonight at 9 p.m.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Okay, thank you so much, Hillary.

I'm glad you're here.

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

RekTech is just the best grill

I've ever had, I've ever used.

We have a nice regular grill,

and we bought a RekTech for the promise really of

you can smoke and smoke ribs,

but also it cooks everything to perfection.

And I am the worst.

I burn everything, literally burn.

And at the price of meat, I don't want to be burning steaks.

RekTech

is unbelievable.

Their smart grill technology.

I haven't burned anything.

I know this sounds like, but it's true.

I mean, I suck at this.

RekTech is having a Black Friday sale that has already begun.

the Glenback Program.

Hello, America.

We are not going to gloat this hour.

No, we're going to give you the facts and definitely, definitely not gloat.

Because that would be wrong and childish, right, Stu?

We wouldn't do that.

Now we're adults here.

Or we might, just maybe a little bit.

I mean,

even adults can...

60.

60 seconds.

We'll

find out how adult we are.

I have a love-hate relationship with my bed, honestly.

I love to climb into it in the evening.

I hate to get out of it in the morning.

I'm just saying.

You know, I can't decide.

Love-hate.

Anyway, one of the things I love about my bed is my sheets and my pillows.

I get them from Mike Lindell's My Pillow.

And Mike has been working for years to make sure you can, you know, have that love-hate relationship with your bed.

Now,

today

is a day that

I didn't know that it would come this soon.

And I,

while I don't want to gloat,

I do

want to dance.

Everybody dance.

Okay, that was childish.

That was the example of what not to do.

What not to do?

Not to do.

You shouldn't do that at your worst time.

Somebody comes in and they're a little bit down today, and they're like, gee, it looks like the progressive socialists got their ass handed to them.

Yeah.

The last thing you need to do is say, everybody days.

That would be wrong.

No, you shouldn't do that.

You should not do that.

The last thing you should do.

Thank you.

You shouldn't bring that song with you on your phone.

No, in fact, let me just give you a clear cut of it.

Go ahead.

Everybody naked.

Not that.

Whoops.

Not that that should be your ringtone today.

Oh.

You know, that would be bad.

That would be terrible.

Terrible.

You would be a bad person if you did something like that too many times.

More than

more than 10.

More than 10.

No, more than 10 in an hour.

Okay, so

the signal from San Francisco

is pretty strong.

Public safety.

You're talking about the scent of the streets?

Like just the public education.

The signal sentence.

Okay.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Public safety, public education.

Voters in San Francisco

said yesterday, yeah,

why don't you just pick up the garbage?

Why don't you just get people to stop crapping on the streets and stop trying to rename all of the, you know, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln schools?

We're pretty cool with that.

That is,

that is astounding, astounding to happen in San Francisco.

But

it looks like, I mean, could we just play, Kamala Harris, this is one, two, three, four, cut four, please.

Because you see, what happens in Virginia will in large part determine

what happens in 2022, 2024, and on.

Everybody.

She's right, though.

Sucks.

See, people say we can't be bipartisan.

We are going to agree with her analysis on that point.

100% agree.

100% agree.

Yeah, that's right.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So that's the problem.

But will they learn that lesson?

No.

And to that I say, everybody.

Because you just, I mean,

it's one of those days.

It is one of those days.

The only thing setting it aside from a perfect, wonderful day is what's happening in New Jersey, which is incredibly good news for Republicans overall.

Yeah, and quite honestly, to even be close in New Jersey, to be close is astounding.

The best poll in New Jersey for Chitterelli, who's the Republican there, was a four-point defeat.

And it's, I don't think it's going to be that high.

I think he looks like he is going to wind up losing in a very close election just because the vote that is hanging around is from Democratic districts.

But I will say this: what's interesting, too, when you look at on the other side of this in Virginia, the news of the governor situation and down the ticket is pretty good.

But the House of Delegates,

which is a fascinating

race, much more fascinating than the title House of Delegates would indicate.

Because House of Delegates, I mean, if that was a show on PBS, the House of Delegates, I would immediately.

So, there's a few different crazy ones there.

First of all, there's this guy,

his last name's Chris Hearst.

Did I tell you the story?

This is a crazy one.

No, go ahead.

So, Chris Hurst, you don't know who he is, of course, but he, you know, something about him.

You know about the absolute worst moment of his life.

Okay.

Okay.

So, in 2015, remember this, you'll remember this story.

A video comes out of a female reporter doing a live hit on the air, and she's interviewing someone from the Chamber of Commerce locally.

And in the middle of the interview,

a gunman comes out and kills her in the middle of the interview.

Do you remember this story?

No.

You don't remember the story?

We talked about it at the time.

The video was everywhere.

She was legitimately doing a local news report.

Gunman comes out, kills her

on camera, kills the cameraman as well.

The woman she was interviewing got away.

That woman, the reporter who was killed, was the fiancé of this guy, Chris Hurst, who after this incident wound up running for the House of Delegates.

He wins a close election, wins another close election.

He's running again.

The night before the election,

he is

pulled over.

And apparently.

Hold on just a second.

Hold on just a second.

I was promised here the

House of Delegates or

whatever that sounded.

Welcome to the House of Delegates.

Nothing exciting like this happens in the House of Delegates.

All they do is talk about quorum calls.

Right.

That's what happens in the House of Delegates.

That's right.

That's right.

And somebody is like a really bad maid.

Yes.

To somebody else.

Yeah, okay.

Anyway, go ahead.

So

this guy gets pulled over.

pulled over the night before the election.

Police talk to him.

So it's unclear exactly what happened, but either him or possibly the woman who was in his car,

they catch them because they were vandalizing signs for his opponent.

So the night before the election, I guess they're just out tearing down signs for their opponent in the race.

Long story on that part short, he winds up losing in the House of Delegates.

This brings it to a 50-50 split.

So Republicans might have a, you know, they're going to have a split control of this House.

However, in the overnight, how many times have you heard this story?

In the overnight, new votes were found.

All the time.

All the time.

Yeah.

New votes were found, new votes were counted, and the outcome changed in favor of the Republicans.

And now Republicans look like they'll have 52 seats,

in two different seats.

They're going to wind up getting a last-minute win, it looks like.

And it looks like now Republicans will get control of the House of Delegates in Virginia, which nobody thought was possible coming into last night.

So,

really, I mean, it's hard to limit how good the news was last night.

Everybody!

Wait a minute, but it was supposed to be boring.

Okay, all right, here's how we do it.

Here's how we do it.

You know,

the House of Delegates, there was somebody,

somebody that was not driving, Bentley,

came up on a bicycle and he was riding and there was a sign there in the large lawn and he looked at it and said, this

shan't stand.

And

votes were found in the basement by the butler.

And then

just like a long musical interlude out.

Oh, sorry.

On this week's House of Delegates.

Brought to you in part by the Ford Foundation.

And that's where they spend most of their money.

Most of their money.

Is on shows like the House of Delegates.

Yeah, that and like really creepy eugenic stuff.

Yeah, sure.

The House of Delegates is the main part of the organization.

Not the actual House of Delegates, but the show, the show.

Tuesday nights.

So really, the only thing

holding back the ultimate party today is this New Jersey thing, which looks like it's, you know, this is like one of those situations where you're like a small college, you have no chance to win, beat the big SEC team you're playing, and somehow you've got the ball on the one-yard line with eight seconds left in the game, and you can't quite punch it across.

Like, they're going to wind up losing a very close race.

You know, and once again, it is a sign.

McAuliffe losing is a sign that Hillary Clinton and the Clintons' power is

way over.

Absolutely over.

Way over.

Their influence is done.

McAuliffe is essentially a Clinton.

That's how close he is to that legacy.

And again,

he might actually be a Clinton.

Bill might have had sex with somebody.

I don't know.

On the next episode,

on the next episode of the House of Delegates, Bill Clinton has sex with a downstairs maid.

Will that be Terry McCullough?

Find out in the next episode of

on PBS.

It's hard to promote that show because how do you spell it?

You know?

Delegates?

No, the last episode of

It's just difficult to.

So the Clintons are absolutely over now, which is which is another reason, everybody.

I mean, it's another reason for that.

It's another reason for that.

And I think that Bill Clinton, I mean, Barack Obama also, I mean, he went out and he politicked hard, but his message was this is all bullcrap.

This is all made up stuff.

These white people are afraid of black people.

And nobody's buying that.

Nobody's buying that anymore.

Yeah, you know, I think that's a real miscalculation by the left.

And I hope they continue to make it.

Oh, I do too.

Because it is just, it's so insulting.

You know, and I think there's an interesting thing here, Glenn, between Virginia and New Jersey.

We talked about Virginia a lot in the lead up.

And obviously education was one of the most important things.

But education isn't just CRT and gender, right?

It's also teachers' unions telling your kids they're not allowed to go to school.

Correct.

It's the mask.

It's also a mask mandates.

It's COVID relations.

Yeah, now it's your five to 11-year-old having to get vaccinated.

Vaccine mandates and passports and all that stuff.

So all that stuff is out there.

And I think like when you look at the New Jersey situation, which looks like it will move more to the right in pure points than even Virginia did.

I mean, it's a bluer state.

And you look at that, and there was not, CRT was not a big part of that election.

You know, the gender stuff was not a big part of that election.

The COVID stuff was a big part of that election.

You know, you look at Murphy has the single highest or second highest.

He even has a worse death rate in the state than Andrew Cuomo, which is saying something.

And,

you know, then you add on all of the businesses that were closed down.

They didn't want kids going to school.

He's one of the worst with the mandates in the nation.

All of this came and and hit New Jersey business owners and

regular citizens in the face over and over and over and over and over again.

And

that

might be a bigger factor.

I think, too, a big part of this is just how bad Joe Biden is.

It's not, you know, there is a lot of people.

But it's also

like,

I think Winsom Sears.

could be a superstar.

She could be a now this is a great story.

I don't know that much about her, but she's not.

Yeah, I don't either, but she's got a great, great story.

And she's cool pictures of her.

Yeah, right?

Which is very cool.

So she is the new lieutenant governor in Virginia.

She is also the first woman of color in the office of the Commonwealth's 400-year legislative history.

Okay.

And she took on,

she took on CRT,

and she was very, very clear.

Look, we should learn good and bad about American history.

Yeah.

Yep.

100%.

But we, what did, how did she say it?

Something along the lines of,

but if you are coming in to a class and you're trying to make one kid feel guilty for history and they're white, black, doesn't matter, that's not sustainable.

That's not a good plan.

So teach history as it actually happened.

Leave all the rest of it out.

Yeah.

And what was amazing, I was watching a little CNN last night, so you don't have to.

And you were the one.

It was your night.

It was my night.

Over and over and over again,

they made the point that this was just, you know, look, Junkin, he just was using racist dog whistles.

He just, you know, like when he was trying to ban these books, they just happened to be with black authors.

That absolutely.

This is crazy.

This is crazy.

And, you know, this is a guy whose lieutenant governor, who's going all around the state,

was Sears, who is black, the first black woman to have statewide office.

His attorney general that he was running with is Hispanic, all around the country.

Honestly, the only person who made sense,

and I know he took some as well.

Van Freaking Jones.

I know, I saw it.

Who said,

he got in trouble for some of the stuff he said last night, but he said over and over again, he said,

this idea that we can win elections, meaning Democrats can win elections by just saying we're not Trump is dead tonight.

It's over.

And he said over and over again that Democrats come off as offensive to regular people.

They come off as annoying to regular people.

And he's completely right.

And elitist.

And elitist.

I mean, I think there's something to be said when you are using the word latinx in your Is it Latinx or Latinx?

You said I think it could be both.

Is that?

I think it's Latinx.

It It could be Latinx.

Latinx seems even worse.

Somebody else.

Oh, it did.

I've heard them say latinx.

I've heard them say latinx.

I've heard them say Latinx as well.

Now, Latinx just sounds like Malcolm X to me.

It's bad either way.

But, I mean,

my preferred pronoun here is Latinx.

Latinx is better.

It seems more demeaning to Democrats.

And it's more absurd considering Hispanics don't want you to say it.

They don't want to say

Latinx.

Latinx.

They don't want to say any of that.

And that's the point.

When you have these, I think they are dog whistles for white elitists, when you say things that the average person is not saying, that's a dog whistle.

I'm better than you.

And people are not going to have any more of it.

I hope.

I hope.

All right.

Now let's see the Republicans and what they do when they actually get into office.

Please do something.

All right.

Somewhere along the line, when I wasn't looking, I got past the age of 50.

I don't know how it happened, honestly, and I'd like to complain to the manager, but here we are.

So you join a benefits group, or you can when you hit your 50s.

There are several you could join, but may I recommend AMAC, A-M-A-C.

It's the Association of Mature American Citizens.

It's over 2 million members strong and counting.

The benefits are fantastic, like insurance discounts, roadside assistance programs, members-only credit card travel benefits, phone plans, dental plans, auto loans, all of that.

But I think more importantly is their advocacy.

AMAC is an advocate group.

We had a great night at the polls.

If you are a conservative and you are against the things that this government is doing now, we took a step towards sanity, a big, big step towards sanity last night.

However, let's remember that we still have the Biden administration in power,

which means, I mean, just what's happening in Glasgow today, which we'll tell you about tomorrow,

that is going to affect every American citizen.

The things that they're doing with energy is remarkable.

The things they're not doing on the supply chain, also remarkable.

And we're going to have shortages.

And Carol Roth, who is the author of The War on Small Business, she's a former investment banker.

She is cut from the same cloth, I think, that I am.

And

she is looking at

what is

and seeing some real problems.

And I wanted to get her on because we are entering the holidays and I don't want people to hoard things, but I do want you to be prepared.

And so I asked Carol to look into this, and she joins us now.

Hi, Carol.

How are you?

I'm doing well, Glenn.

It's very well said.

You know, if you fail to prepare, you prepare to fail.

It's a good old Boy Scouts mantra, isn't it?

So, the things that I mean,

we are going to be facing energy shortages, I think.

And if it is very, very cold,

I think we're going to see a repeat of what we had here in Texas around the country, or we could.

The things that people are saying right now, the energy issue is one of the things, but also water.

And I don't understand the water issue.

Why are people saying there's a water shortage?

Well, I always like to follow the money.

I know it's something that you're very keen on.

And if you look at what's been happening over the past several years,

you have really big pools of money, institutional investors, hedge funds, who have been buying up land that has water rights associated with it.

And any time you have institutional investors going to something that everyone thinks is a commodity and buying it up, that's forward thinking that maybe something's going on.

And with population growth and obviously all the issues that we have just in terms of governments and their mismanagement, there are a lot of people who are very concerned, both short-term and long-term, about water shortages.

So I think it's really imperative that everybody, like you said, you don't have to go out and hoard.

And in fact, Costco won't let you do it.

They've already put a limit on it.

But every time you go to the store, purchase some extra water.

Get to the point where you have at least a gallon a day per person in your household for at least a month because this is an issue.

Yeah.

Yes, because if this is something that happens, you're going to want to have that extra preparation.

And there could be a short-term implication because of the supply chain, but I am deeply concerned based on all of this

investment that's been been going on longer term.

So

I had a billionaire friend of mine say to me

12, 15 years ago, Glenn, you got to buy water.

And I said, why do I feel like I'm sitting here with Rockefeller in

1900 when he said, buy oil?

And he said, because it is.

It's going to be as precious as oil is.

And he said, but don't buy water.

Don't buy water per se.

He said, buy the things that will help filter water, invest in.

He said, because otherwise, if you are the water baron, he said, you're going to be as unpopular as any of these oil people are now.

No, it makes a lot of sense.

And so that's another good backup thing that you can purchase for your own household is to get a supply of water filters.

But you're right, from an investment thesis standpoint, there are all the kinds of technologies that are being developed, things for the desalinization of water and whatnot.

So that's definitely something to consider.

You know who's really focused on this too?

Michael Burry, if any of you watched the big short.

Yes.

He was one of the first guys to call the mortgage crisis, and that's where he's been investing as well.

So I don't understand where is the water shortage coming from, though.

I mean, we've got water.

Well we don't have as much that's usable as everybody thinks and well I mean places in California don't because they haven't built a reservoir since 1972.

Exactly.

Exactly.

They haven't been investing in some of these arenas that are required in order to make sure that you keep the water.

And we also have population growth

and you have to remember it's not just the major consumption of water individually, but 70% of the water that's used is for food, which goes into sort of the next issue is if you're going down the chain, you don't just want to have water, you want to make sure that you have access to food.

And as you mentioned with California, California is a huge source and supplier of our food, you know, here in the U.S.

as well as throughout the world.

And I'm really concerned because I just saw again yesterday a story about Bill Gates buying up farmland, saying that he's got these little farms.

They're not going to be sustainable.

And so he's helping by buying them all up.

Super helpful, don't you think?

Yeah, super helpful.

Yeah,

so also things that on your own land, if you have access to seeds and things where you can also grow your own healthful food, that's important, as well as the perishables or the non-perishables to be able to have a stock and supply of this.

So coming from you, this rings differently.

I mean, I'm a prepper and been prepared for a while, but you don't strike me as a prepper in the classic sense of, you know, 2008 you were saying this.

Yeah, so I always call myself like a mini prepper.

So I'm always suspicious that there's something that's going on, but I don't have an underground bunker, so I'm sort of somewhere in between the two.

But I do follow trends, and I do follow the money.

And, you know, it's unfortunately it's a moral issue, right?

Things that

are used to sustain us, water and food, that these shouldn't be treated like investment commodities, but that's sort of the outgrowth of what's happened from all the terrible policy that we've seen from the government and the Fed.

The guy who services my car said, hey, I bought some extra air filters for your car.

And I was like, thanks.

And he said, no, no, no, there's a shortage coming of air filters.

He said, you want this.

And I'm like, okay, well, thank you.

But that not only is for air filters for your car,

if you have a problem with

HVAC

or any of this stuff, you're going to have a hard time.

You should get it checked now, shouldn't you?

Yeah, I actually spoke to the head of maintenance of a huge food service operation as well as some other experts.

And they are saying to have your HVAC system inspected now for any impending failures, because one of of the things that's happening in terms of the supply chain, we all know the supply chain is a mess, but any parts that are coming out, the priority is being given to new products instead of to repair shops.

So repairs are kind of down on the food chain, down on the totem pole, so to speak, in terms of getting things.

So have that looked at, have them look at coils that might be leaking refrigerants, things that are easy to spot, and

get yourself in the queue now in a patch until those needed parts arrive.

And if you have an old refrigerator or if you have a refrigeration system that's necessary to store something like life-saving medicine, it probably makes sense to also invest in one of those mini-fridges, the kind that you can get for a dorm or that you see in a hotel.

Anything that if you've got a a life-saving issue or you've got a an appliance that's old, like you want to get in that queue now because

think about it, we're headed for most of the country into really cold weather.

You want to get out ahead of the curve for sure.

So medicine is one of those things that I don't think we've learned our lesson on.

Correct.

You know, COVID came and

we all realized, oh, crap, we don't make our medicine here.

And I don't think anything's being done.

But how do you store up on medicine?

So that's a really good question because it depends on if you have medicine that you can only get via prescription and that you're requiring to go through your insurance.

I would say the number one thing that you can do is not wait until you're at the end of your refill cycle.

So if you are kind of in that cycle where every month you buy something and they open it up for insurance on week three, always week three go in for sure.

But to the extent that you can ask for

a larger supply from your doctor, go to your doctor, say you're concerned, can you write me a prescription for a three-month supply or a four-month supply?

And if you have the financial wherewithal, even if you have to pay for it out of pocket, it's obviously worth that extra expense to not be in a scenario where you go to your pharmacy and there it says, We're sorry, but like, you know, like it's not just the medicine itself, it's the compounds.

We couldn't get those compounds because they were coming from China or

whatever the reason is.

So anything that's important to your life that will, you know, especially if it's life critical, but anything that, you know, you may

have an issue with if you don't have access to, again, you don't need to hoard it, but slowly start building a backup.

First aid kits, batteries, toothpaste, whatever it is, you want to make sure that you have something because that supply chain is so disrupted, not just for that end product, but for all the components that are going into it.

Is this going to affect turkeys?

I mean, I know we're going to have problems with the supply chain for Christmas, or I hope we don't, but likely we will.

How about the food for Thanksgiving?

Get your turkey now.

I just heard I was on a program right after the CEO of Butterball.

And especially if you want a smaller turkey, and we know the prices of everything have gone through the roof for inflation, so that big turkey may be outside of the budget.

Go get it now.

Put your name on a list if you have to, or put it in your freezer or whatnot, but get that.

And then the other thing I will say, and I know that you've been very focused on this, Glenn, is anything that comes in an aluminum can

that has been a huge shortage, though.

If you want your beer or if you want your canned cranberry sauce that you just love that comes in an aluminum can, go get that now because that's another area that we have a shortage.

So I heard that from a couple of sources, and I couldn't verify, and I was trying to look online.

I heard, you know, go buy anything that you like that are in cans

because there's going to be a can shortage.

You verify that that is coming?

It's already been happening, and there's no sort of sense it's going to get better.

And the reason is kind of funny.

There are all these additional beverages that have come on the market like sparkling hard seltzer that are using up, they've become very popular out of nowhere, and they are using up part of that aluminum can supply.

And with all the other issues that are going

on in the world, there's just a huge supply and demand imbalance.

So, all of the people who are using aluminum for various products, including can manufacturers, are having a hard time getting those aluminum cans.

I mean, it is, I giggle because it's just so silly, but this is what happens when you're a central planner and you think you can turn on and off the economy like you're power cycling a modem.

The rest of us have figured out you can't do this, and now we're paying the price for all of us.

Literally, so Carol, I don't have time this time, but could I ask you

to do some research for me?

I am concerned about energy and generators.

In California, they've already said no gasoline generators, no, nothing.

And, you know, your power goes out.

How do you generate power?

And I'm looking not just for today,

but what is going to be taxed out of or, you know, regulated out of existence in the next three years

for power generation.

Can you look into that and then we'll have you back?

I absolutely would be happy.

Love the homework.

Yeah, I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

No, I love it.

Listen, better you than me, Carol.

You're providing real value to your listeners.

These are actionable.

This isn't just theory.

These are actionable things that people can do to make sure that they're surviving and make sure that their lives aren't disrupted.

So I'm thrilled to be a part of it.

We'll talk again, Carol.

Thank you so much.

All right.

Let me tell you.

Let me tell you a little bit about AMAC,

which I think I just did.

So I mean, I'm the old one here, Sarah, and I have the good memory, right?

Yeah.

Let me tell you about Goldline instead.

The American economy is very complex.

It's an amazing machine, incredibly durable.

I mean, you know, we were in the process of bouncing back from a pandemic in a matter of...

couple of months and that that is remarkable this economy has taken a beating however the dollar is going out of style, literally going out of style.

If you read anything about what the Fed is planning, they are going to be going to a digital currency.

When that happens,

our dollars are going to be worthless, really worthless.

Other countries are already starting to try to box us out so far.

They haven't, but it is coming with this inflation and out-of-control money printing.

It's going to happen.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Our Border Patrol agents continue to be overwhelmed trying to stem the flow of illegal immigrants while having their hands tied by the Biden administration.

The Border Patrol Chief, Rodney Scott, has recently been outed, sorry, ousted

as the Border Patrol Chief.

He's a 29-year veteran.

He's worked for five different presidents.

He's sitting down with me tonight to tell the story.

1.7 million arrests on our southern borders,

highest number ever recorded, twice the population of Washington, D.C.

And there's an additional thousand people per day that we know of that are gotaways.

Tonight, don't miss it, 9 o'clock, Blaze TV.

This is the Glenn Beck program.
