Okay, so we've got a great show for you coming up in just a second.
We want to also tell you about our sponsor is Relief Factor.
Relief Factor has
changed a lot of people's lives, including mine.
Relief Factor is the way to relieve pain the natural way.
I hate this, and I'm so happy to hear that Stu is the same way.
Oh, totally.
When it comes to natural remedies, I'm like, oh, come on.
I just feel like there's so many that are just scam products.
Yeah, it's like, eat this bark.
right.
Right, yeah, you chew on a tree, and you'll feel better, right?
That's why I think with Relief Factor, you know, I've seen it with you, right?
I've seen it with people around this building, and it actually is making a difference for people, which is great.
Yeah, 100% drug-free, but created by doctors, four key ingredients that help your bodies fight against inflammation, and that's where most of our pain comes from.

That's relief factor.com, relieffactor.com.
The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenbeck program.
There is
a couple of stories today that
show the press completely exposed.
Jim Acosta naked on the border.
I can't wait to share my thoughts on Jim Acosta.
Also, there was a first yesterday, and while it's
not the best use of it, it I think is a shot across the bow with deep fakes.
There's a story that
was released yesterday about how a television station
changed the feed of the president and made him look just nuts.
It's a deep fake, but is this the first real deep fake of the election in 2020?
I think it is.
If you've been listening to this program, you know what a deep fake is.
We've been talking about them for years, and we told you this is going to change things.
This one didn't, thank goodness, but the story, there's something wrong with the story.
And we'll get into that.
And Bill O'Reilly, all on today's program.
This is the Glen Beck program.
All right, we've moved a lot of the commercials out of this broadcast.
We've decided to make sure that we're only stopping
as little as we possibly can.
So we've taken the commercials and moved them out, and we only stop twice in a half hour for one minute each time, a live commercial, and this is one of them.
And it's about X-Chair.
X-Chair is a great chair
and really top of the line.
I mean, it has,
I'm sitting in an X chair now, and it has absolutely everything.
I believe,
I believe I might be going with Elon Musk to Mars.
I think this thing could fly as well.
I'm not sure.
It is just very sophisticated, just a great, great chair with lots of support.
It's comfortable, and that's the part you care about.
It's not about all the bells and whistles, though.
It's a comfortable chair, right?
Especially if you have to sit at your desk all day long.
It's just really comfortable.
You don't even feel like you're doing it.
And that's what I like about it.
So X-Chair is great.
You get the optional headrest.
You can also get a foot rest.
In fact, you get that if you use my name, BAC, B-E-C-K, as the promo code.
But I also want to tell you that they now have the X-Basic.
This is the one that does not go to Mars, but has all of the adjustments that you normally would expect and all of the adjustments that you would want.
It would is still as comfortable as the souped-up Mars chair.
It will do international flights, however.
It will.
Yes, you can fly to the UK direct, not to Heathrow.
Okay.
Were you worried about the drones?
Maybe those are the drones.
Maybe those are the drones.

So Jim Acosta has a real problem with the president
saying this is a humanitarian crisis.
Oh my gosh,
he was out yesterday in the blazing sun.
He was down at the border where there is a border fence, a border wall, one of those big iron slatted
iron walls where, you know, the ones where they're like, look, you could just cut right through this.
Well, there hasn't been anybody who's cut through one of them, you know, unless you were there with a blowtorch and you were doing an example on TV.
But Jim Acosta was there, and it was about one o'clock in the afternoon, and he's walking around in his sunglasses by this wall, and says, look,
I see the fence here, and
there isn't any humanitarian crisis.
There isn't any problem.
In fact, here's the audio.
Listen to this arrogant fool.
And here are some of the steel slats that the president's been talking about right here.
As you can see, yes, you can see through these slats to the other side of the U.S.-Mexico border.
But as we're walking along here, we're not seeing any kind of imminent danger.
There are no migrants trying to rush toward this fence here in the McAllen, Texas area.
As a matter of fact, there are some other businesses behind me along this highway.
There's a gas station, Burger King, and so on, but no sign of the national emergency that the president has been talking about.
As a matter of fact, it's pretty tranquil down here.
Yeah, it's pretty tranquil.
You know, where were you, Jim?
In McAllen, Texas, when I was in McAllen, Texas.
You know, because there was a humanitarian crisis.
In fact, could we play the audio, please, the montage
between President Obama and President Trump on the humanitarian crisis at the border?
We now have an actual humanitarian crisis on the border that only underscores the need to drop the politics and fix our immigration system once and for all.
This is a humanitarian crisis, a crisis of the heart and a crisis of the soul.
In recent weeks, we've seen a surge of unaccompanied children arrive at the border, brought here and to other countries by smugglers and traffickers.
The journey is unbelievably dangerous for these kids.
Child smugglers exploit the loopholes and they gain illegal entry into the United States, putting countless children in danger on the perilous trek.
to the United States.
They come up through Mexico.
Protecting public safety and deporting dangerous criminals has been and will remain the top priority.
We will begin removing the more than 2 million criminal, illegal immigrants from the country.
But we are going to refocus our efforts where we can to make sure we do what it takes to keep our border secure.
We want to secure our border.
Thank you, Mike Broomhead, who happens to live in a border state, Arizona, and our affiliate in Phoenix for putting that montage together.
It wasn't real difficult because both of them have been talking about humanitarian crisis, and everybody in America knows it, except for the quote, journalists like Jim Acosta, who was again down at the border.
And if you look at when border crosses happen, they usually happen around lunchtime right there by the Burger King and the giant wall.
Either that or they happen in the middle of the night under the cover of darkness.
Now, Jim Acosta is going to Jim Acosta is going to be on a couple of other assignments this week, so you know, because there's some other real tragedies that are going on, some other things that he has uncovered.
For instance, people say, you know, Broadway is doing well.
You know, hey, theater, this is a great time for the theater in New York.
Well, Jim Acosta will be down on Broadway on Monday night to show you not a single theater is open.
Not a play is happening on Broadway on Monday night.
Then on Tuesday, he's going to be around 11 o'clock going around the country at some of our biggest churches.
And he will 11 o'clock Tuesday morning.
Don't miss the Jim Acosta expose
on how most of American churches are empty.
The fact that Americans attend weekly service is a lie.
And Jim Acosta will be exposing that.
Oh my gosh, this guy is so crazy.
He is the worst, man.
It's all about Jim Acosta.
None of this means anything.
Yes, he hates the president, but that is secondary.
He loves his love for himself.
And that is what is so disturbing about Jim Acosta.
I mean, again, you're making the point, right?
If there's a wall there, if there were people rushing to the border in the middle of the day, which that's not when they do it typically, but if that's when they were doing it, they would pick a different spot to do it.
They wouldn't do it right there because of the wall you're standing next to.
Well, look, I think, Jim,
your station may have had some footage at some point, or you may have seen it on another network, where they were charging the border in the middle of the day at a fence, but that was in San Diego.
That's where the humanitarian crisis is happening that we've been talking about for the last few months.
You happen to be in the place where the humanitarian crisis was happening under Obama.
That's why I was there.
That's why I called CNN and said, hey, do you know that they're putting kids in cages?
But you weren't there.
You were probably at the zoo doing the expose.
Glenn Beck says they're putting children in cages.
Well, I'm here at the San Diego Zoo and I don't see any children in these cages.
Come on.
He is just the worst.
He is the worst.
The best thing is, though, the best thing is
they're just so discrediting themselves.
Even liberals had to watch that and went, oh, dear God, damn, what are you doing?
Well, it's amazing he didn't realize, right, that he was making the opposite point.
And that's why people jumped on it and are making fun of the report.
But it separates it from every other report Jib Acosta does.
And I think we missed the larger.
issue here is that his point there, let's just say he made it in front of a small wall or a place where there was no wall and it it was at night, right?
It would be disingenuous to go there and find one place at one moment and act as if you're disproving the president because at that one moment no one was crossing.
Not true, not true.
It is true.
No, it's not.
And I proved it.
I proved it.
Last night, I went to the so-called Mayo clinic and I was there at the nurses station the whole night and I didn't see.
I was surrounded by healthy people.
So this thing, oh, cancer and the Mayo Clinic is just riddled with sick people.
I was there at the nurses' station the entire night.
So, please don't start with that.
Can I say what my favorite part of this entire rant was, by the way?
Yeah, because
you made very funny points.
But, my favorite part about it is you're so in the world of Broadway that it was completely obvious to you that plays don't happen on Monday nights.
Like, to me, I was like, why Monday night?
Why wouldn't there be plays?
And to you, it was so
in the middle of the day.
No, no, no, I didn't.
I did think dark none of them that night.
The only reason why I used it is because I know that everybody with Jim Acosta and CNN know exactly when.
That's why I followed it with churches on Tuesday.
Yep.
We have the deep fake guy on in a minute.
His name is Todd Herman.
And
he and a listener exposed something that I think is much more important than
most people think.
And there's something wrong with the story.
And I want to talk to him about it.
It's coming up in one minute.
All right, I want to talk to you a little bit about our sponsor.
It's Field Greens.
Field Greens is great.
It's an actual superfood.
You don't need any supplements along with this superfood.
It's like a border wall around salad.
You never have to cross it.
Oh my gosh, thank you.
If you hate salad as much as I do, and if you're tired of people saying, you gotta eat your green vegetable, if a kale person comes up to me when I am taking a picture of this sad sandwich that my son-in-law is being forced to eat by his wife, I looked at him yesterday.
By his wife?
Yeah, my daughter.
Your daughter.
Yeah, yeah.
And she remains his wife in this case.
Did you like get it, throw her out of the family because of her salad habits?
No, it's not the salad habits.
It's the sandwich.
I'm going to take a picture of it if he brings it in today.
If he has it again today, he's had it two days in a row.
It is,
it's wrapped in, like, I don't know, I don't even know what kind of leaf leaf it is.
It's, it's, that's not bread, that's a leaf, and I don't even know what kind of leaf.
It's like a leaf from a jungle.
It's not right to do to man.
All right, anyway, if you hate salads as much as I do, you can get all of your servings of your fruits and vegetables that you need in just a little teaspoony.
You just put it in water or whatever it is you're drinking, and it's good and gives you everything that you need.

You'll never have to have a salad again.
Then Second Station ID.
From the Todd Herman Show, it is Todd Herman in Seattle.
Todd, I wanted to get you on because of a story that broke yesterday, and you were at the center of it.
You and one of your listeners.
Can you tell me exactly what happened?
Because either something is missing in the story or something is wrong.
Okay.
Glenn, I appreciate you having me on.
It's a real honor.
Yeah, a lester named Jeff forwarded me a video he took on his smartphone of a promo that had been running on Q13 here locally.
They actually generally do a very good job.
But the promo looked weird because the president looked very, very strange.
They were promoting their analysis of the president's Oval Office speech.
And Jeff noticed that the president looked distorted.
So he sent us a copy.
We gave it to our video team at KTTH.
And they ran through it, looked at it, said, yeah, this looks really doctored.
So we broke the story.
contacted Q13 and their news director, Erica Hill, and said, look, we're going to be fair here and say this appears to be a doctored footage.
And all of one day, they did an investigation and came back and said, yeah,
apparently this, you know, they didn't say it was doctor, but they let the editor go.
And Glenn, you've seen the video.
It's pretty bizarre what they appear to have done to the president and photoshopped him to look 15 shades extra orangey.
Also made him look like he was manically licking his lips all kind of lizard style.
So it's a bizarre presentation.
So
here's the problem with this.
And look, I grew up in Seattle.
This is KCPQ, isn't it?
Yes.
The station.
When I was there, KCPQ was, you know, just like an also ran awful station.
It's not like that anymore.
It's a decent station.
And you say you talked to Erica Hill
and she was the news director.
Why did it take
someone who listens to you to capture it on their smartphone, call you, then you call the station?
Does no one at KCPQ watch their station?
Is no one at KCPQ seeing their promos?
Is everyone at KCPQ blind?
Because this was the most obvious, when he stops towards the end and he's licking his lips, it is so clear that either the president is mentally unstable and should be removed from office, or this is a deep fake.
Yeah, well, Glenn, I'll tell you, to be clear, Erica sent us a statement.
So I haven't spoken personally with her.
I don't want to commit any fake news on your show.
So she sent us statements, a series of statements.
I had the same question.
I have a friend of mine who's a videographer, and he said, look, a promo like this would go through layers of supervision.
Absolutely.
And so I'm trying to err on the side of not judging people I don't know.
It's egregious.
What you described, the promo, is ridiculous.
In fact,
to me, it frightened me to look at it.
I was praying, I was praying this was doctored.
So we've done a follow-up to ask, were there layers of supervision missed on this?
Maybe you were busy, et cetera.
But someone somewhere should have approved this.
And I want to be clear again,
I use their stuff, Q13 on the air, because they are actually, I think, doing good work and trying hard.
At least they fired the person the next day.
And I'm not all jumping up and down that someone's career ended.
I hope they'll take it as a learning experience that, you know, maybe go ask Nike for an endorsement now.
You risked everything.
Yeah,
here's the part of the story that doesn't make sense to me: that it made it on air
in the first place.
And how long did it run?
At least it ran several times.
And your listener, a conservative, was the only one?
Did anyone call KCPQ and say,
hey,
what is this promo?
The president looks weird.
Nobody, now I know it's Seattle, but nobody called.
Nobody watched it from KCPQ.
The receptionist wasn't sitting there in the empty reception area and just going, I hate my job so much.
And looking up at the television because they had nothing else to do and notice that the president looked like a monkey.
Nobody noticed that.
The fact is,
in Seattle, it's really difficult to pick up the phone when you're shooting a parent in one arm and eight o'clock.
So you got that challenge as well.
And I think probably in Seattle, there's a lot of people saying, thank God, someone has unfiltered the president.
We knew he did this with the slips.
It's crazy.
I know you're not a stranger to the area.
And
it's gotten very, very bizarre out here, you guys.
Very, very bizarre.
Todd, it's amazing because you're kind of in the middle of what I think is a real milestone.
I mean, this technology is going to come, and it's not going to come from some editor at Q13.
It's going to come from the Chinese government, right?
Manipulating footage and really changing people's opinions.
You're kind of like in the middle of the first time this has ever, as far as I know, ever happened on a news station like this.
Yeah, I think this is, I've been talking about deep fakes for how many years now?
Three years.
And talking about how 2020 is going to be a really bad year for deep fakes, and you're going to start to not believe your eyes.
And when I saw this story, I thought,
this is history.
This one, Todd, you're going to go in history books.
I really believe.
In the end, this story will end up in any important history about deep fakes.
Because this is the first time that I've seen a news station try to manipulate something and use deep fake technology
skew an opinion or an election.
Well, and I hope, Glenn, that I truly hope the editor takes this as a sign that maybe you've gone too far, but on the other side of me, the cynical side of me, thinks how many media companies are sending him now
or him or her invitations to go to work there?
I'll tell you another local flavor to this that might interest you both is that the Seattle Times, who accidentally for a little while pretended they broke this story and then they were kind enough to point out that we actually did, They went to great pains after they ran this to show a whole bunch of circumstances where conservatives have doctored pictures, etc.
And they kept adding to it and I was screaming at them, well, wait, this is very, very different.
This is a news station not just manipulating this, but they could easily have put words in the president's mouth.
And I think that's what you guys are pointing to, is this technology that you could have the president say something he's not saying at all.
It's bad enough with the
the way the media twists things now, but I absolutely agree that this had better be a wake-up call, and I'm really pleased you guys point that out.
Todd, thank you so much, and appreciate your good work.
Todd Herman from KTTH in Seattle, who broke the story of the deep fake from Q13,
a news promo for
a news station that made the president look like a monkey and using deep fake technology.
Horrible, horrible first step.
This is a milestone.

He's coming up next here on the Blaze.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
Joining us now is Pat Gray from Pat Gray Unleashed.
Pat, big story of the week.
The thing you're focused on today is
I'm focused on the wall.
Oh, geez.
I'm focused on the wall.
The immoral, ineffective, inefficient wall.
Walls don't work.
They're immoral and they don't work.
We all know that, right?
I do.
The walls on my house work pretty well.
Yeah.
Right.
Keep rain out.
Animals.
Yeah.
You know, intruders.
They're very immoral, though.
Very immoral.
Because I should just let whoever wants to walk in
walk in.
Exactly right.
Exactly right.
And
be no respecter of persons.
Ellen DeGeneres is taking down the walls around her house.
Is she?
Yeah.
And the walls
under her roof.
Oh, my gosh.
Because they're very immoral.
And in fact, I think a lot of people in Hollywood are just trying to make that point, and they're going to take down all of the walls around their houses.
I think they probably will.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, sure.
Because they don't need them.
And they're immoral, of course.
We know how moral all of Hollywood is.
Yeah.
Don't we, though?
Don't we?
I mean, they're not raping each other.
They're busy being moral.
So at all times.
Once every three months, then?
Yes.
Yes.
About that.
But I got a list of things that the Democrats have funded recently that are just a tad more expensive.
Well, they're probably a tad more moral.
Way more moral.
Okay.
Things like Rural Utility Service.
This is a program that was put into place to bring electricity to rural communities.
And I just, I can't wait for the day when communities out in the country can finally get electricity.
It's never going to happen.
I don't know if that will ever happen.
Never going to happen.
Will
pipe dream happen.
You know, they don't have, they still, they still don't have high speed.
They still have dial-up.
Right.
And I don't know how they're running that dial-up without electricity, but
soon.
Right.
Soon.
Yeah.
Of course, this happened, what, 80, 90 years ago.
And now it actually is being used to bring them high-speed internet.
And that is kind of what they're using the $8.2 billion a year for.
$8.2 billion.
So
can I ask you, if we already have $8 billion a year of funding for high-speed dial-up, how come we're still hearing about people who don't have high-speed dial-up as a
political
multi-trillion dollar problem, Glenn?
That's why.
Okay.
Okay.
All right.
Okay.
Each home in a rural community that gets internet costs the U.S.
government $1.3 trillion.
I did not know that.
It's true.
Wow.
We spend $6 billion a year subsidizing sugar and
high fructose corn syrup, which is way more important than a wall.
Can I tell you something?
High fructose corn syrup is the worst.
I, of course, disagree with that, but beyond that,
I will say that there is a legitimate ⁇ this is a a thing that does not get focused.
Tariffs are bad, and we've talked about tariffs being bad for a long time.
Protectionism also comes in the form of subsidies like this,
where they're just propping up the sugar industry.
All your food could cost less, except for the fact that your tax dollars are going to subsidize U.S.
sugar companies and farms when we could be getting this from all over the world for a lead.
Yes, there's no need.
You could argue it at one point.
It makes no sense now.
How about $10 billion a year to the UN?
Is that a program you're excited about?
No.
Well, it's very moral.
Very moral.
They only rape people that are in dire need.
And
in dire need of something.
Not rape.
You're saying they're in dire need of something else.
Something else.
They're bringing that aid.
Aid, for instance.
What?
They're just asking for a little rape here and there.
That's true.
They're bringing you...
Well, tents with
the UN markings on them.
And you know what the great thing about those tents is?
No walls.
No walls.
No walls.
No walls.
No, the UN as well.
No walls.
No.
At all.
Well, except there are
the existing walls.
Except for those.
They're still subsidizing Amtrak to the tune of $9.7 billion.
Well, Joe Biden needs to get to Delaware.
Foreign aid.
You know, we give $50 billion in foreign aid every single year.
$50 billion
in waste, fraud, and abuse.
According to the GAO, in payment errors,
payment errors, we spend $137 billion a year.
Excuse me.
In payment errors.
$137
billion a year.
May I ask?
This is where.
May I ask?
Man.
How come none of us are ever on the receiving end
of a payment?
I don't know.
I've never had a friend, a colleague, somebody in the neighborhood, somebody in town that was like, whoa, whoa, I just gave you $6 billion.
This is what every once in a while I like to think about this because you think about taxes and we've argued about the rates and the cuts are great.
But if you think about it this way,
every tax dollar you will ever put in in your entire life, plus every person you will ever walk by in their entire life, and all those, their tax dollars of their entire lives, all of that combined, probably won't be one 137th of one year of
payments made in error by this government.
That is, that is how you know
you are wasting all of your life working to give money to a government that will take it and chip away at their missed payments feature for like a day.
So, here's what's amazing:
credit card fraud.
Credit card fraud used to be, used to be lucky, lucky that they could catch 20% of credit card fraud.
Okay.
Then they introduced crude AI.
They got it up to about 50% of credit card fraud.
Do you know now with deep learning, credit card fraud is caught between 95 and 99.9%
of the time
because
it can predict you now so well that there was a guy who was in,
there was a guy who had his credit card stolen.
He did not know that his credit card was stolen.
And somebody went to Vegas.
Well, he went to Vegas like 20 years ago.
He's never been back.
He doesn't have any kind of reckless spending kind of stuff.
He's not a gambler.
And the AI picked up somebody went to a casino.
The first charge at a casino, it was denied.
The first charge.
Wow.
It does seem like they've gone a little too far on that.
I think their character is over 100% of fraud.
I should say,
if not immediately, they call.
Right.
Call to see to make sure it's you, which I don't mind.
Call to make sure it's you.
I don't mind that.
Yeah, my credit card texts me.
And like this morning, I got a text from my credit card informing me that I may have a fraudulent purchase.
My wife has purchased something at the place she purchases something like 10 times a week.
And it's like, well,
I'm kind of going to assume, considering we have 100,000 charges on the card from this particular place.
Yeah, that's kind of that maybe, and I think a lot of times they overreach, right?
Like anytime they pick up anything,
they come after you.
But it is improved dramatically.
And now it's to the point where a text, you wrote Becky Affair we did that, and it's all set.
I mean, it is, it is improved
massively.
We got to, we got about halfway through the Walmart
purchases before
Amex just text and said, hey, is this you?
Yeah.
That's probably a good question after halfway through.
Yeah, about halfway through.
But anyway,
what I'm pointing out is maybe we should get some AI technology from the federal government.
That'd be nice.
They're so busy monitoring us.
How about they use some of that money to monitor them
to find out where this fraud is going, where these rounding errors are.
And how about
some of the nickel and dime things?
I mean, you know, to the federal government, these are nickel and dime things, but you could eliminate these things and build a wall instead.
The The Fed spent $613,000 to boost intimacy and trust of transgender women and their male partners.
Is that necessary?
Does the federal government belong in that business?
I just don't like the federal government identifying one of the partners as male.
How do they know how they identify?
They don't know how they're doing.
And the federal government, if you're identifying males, you better be throwing them in jail because you're a hate monger if you're trying to help males.
Male privilege.
I love this study at Northwestern because they received more than $3 million from the National Institute of Health Health to watch hamster fights.
Wait, watch hamster fights.
Right.
When did hamster fights become a thing?
And these are great fights because they'll put one hamster in without steroids, then they give steroids to the other hamster and see if the hamster with roids is more aggressive than the non-roided hamster.
And what happened?
Don't leave us hanging lights.
It doesn't seem
like they tell you.
Are they in a ring?
Do they have towels?
Do they go to their corners?
What happens in hamster fights?
This is a Rocky Creed sequel to the making.
This is great.
I didn't think you guys were going to be in favor of that.
So we don't eliminate.
No, no, we don't eliminate them.
We got me, ham.
Cut me.
We can leave a couple feet of border without a wall for that.
Yes.
Are you also in favor of Japanese quail and their sexual behavior on cocaine?
We've kind of
been interested in
$518,000 isn't enough.
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
Do we have a problem with quail on Coke?
Apparently, there's been one, yes.
And we don't know how well they perform sexually when they're on Coke.
And so
if a Japanese quail is coked up, you want to make sure it can still perform.
And that's what we're doing with the Federal Committee.
I want to look into that one.
I want to know the Japanese quality.
I just like these expenditures better than the wall.
It's entertaining, at least.
I kind of want to.
I want to see: do they teach the quail to snort the cocaine?
Does it snort it through the mouth part of the beak or the little hole on the top of the beak?
These are great questions.
I think this is like the ultimate achievement in the Japanese quail community.
Like, this is their Harvard.
Like, if they can get into the cocaine for sex study, this is the peak of all quails' lives.
This is the show.
Right?
This is the show for quail, man.
How much money did it take to create little teeny quail currency that they can roll up?
Thanks, Pat.

Now, we were just talking about credit card fraud.
Yeah, yeah.
And what AI can do.
I'm reading this fascinating book, Stu, about deep learning and
AI.
And I have to just ask you a question.
Remind me after the break to ask you a question about AI.
This is a mind-blowing thing for me.
And it's so obvious.
We all know it, but it's really bizarre when you actually think about it.
So they're looking now at AI that can predict where you're going to be and if that's you spending, et cetera, et cetera.
With all of that deep learning that is happening right now, you still have thieves out there who are inventing new ways to steal your identity.
Your identity is gone.
Your digits are gone.
Your bank account.
They can now, with one piece of information, they can now connect you to information that is also available on you on the dark web.
Many different ways.
There is really only one way that you can keep yourself safe that I know of.
Well, there's two.
You can completely go offline
or you can try Life Lock.
Lifelock detects a wide range of identity threats, like your social security number are for sale on the dark web.
And if they detect your information being used at all, they send you an alert.
If there's a problem, a U.S.-based restoration specialist is going to work to fix it.
Now, nobody can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions or stop all cybercrime, but no one does it like lifelock.com.

You know,
one of the things that happened this week that I thoroughly enjoyed was
Elizabeth Warren
coming out and announcing that she's probably going to be running for president.
She just wanted to have a little chat in her kitchen there.
I want to play just a little bit of this.
I love this.
Hold on a sec.
I'm going to get me
a beer.
I'm going to get me a beer.
A beer.
I've practiced this in a mirror 25 times, and I think I've pulled it.
Oh, hey, my husband Bruce.
Oh, he's on here.
Bruce, you want a beer?
No, I'll pass on the beer for now.
He's over by the refrigerator.
Here he comes.
Here, Tim.
This is a good one.
I'll pass on the beer for now.
And I'm crazy to walk.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Oh, my gosh, that is so horrible.
Please, please, Democrats, please
Elizabeth Warren for president.
We're so afraid of her.
Elizabeth Warren is custom-made for Donald Trump.
Oh, my gosh.
She is the perfect candidate for Donald Trump to run against.
She is Hillary Clinton, the Clinton with Clinton ninja powers.
I mean, she is so awkward.
That's
one of the reasons why Hillary Clinton can't come.
Because Hillary Clinton would have said, you know, I'm going to get me a beer.
Yeah.
Oh, Bill.
There you are.
Yeah.
It's so, she's cannot, she's incapable of being natural.
Oh, she's incapable.
And Hillary was too.
And that's the type of candidate that Donald Trump can take out easily because he comes after you.
He
puts pressure on you.
And if you sit there and try to
focus test in advance your line response, you get what Hillary did.
It was like, oh, yeah.
Hey, by the way, I want to Pokemon go to the polls.
Like, remember that whole thing?
And it was like, that's what you get out of Hillary Clinton.
Let me just, I don't think we have time to play all of it.
Let me play a little bit of Ali Stuckey here.
She dressed up as Elizabeth Warren, and here she is from the Blaze.
Hello, friends.
It's
suck.
Suck, y'all.
Suck, fam.
It's lit.
I'm just sitting here relaxing in my
chilling, chilling,
chilling in my in my in my brick
lot in downtown Boston that I
I cannot hardly afford it because soon low death
is great you should see this this is Allie Stuckey you can find her at blazetv.com uh a very funny uh parody of Elizabeth Warren who I'm just gonna get me um
a beer
You find that on Blaze TV.
Bill O'Reilly is next.
Also, we have a new poll on Democrats that show just how extreme they are becoming.
It's all coming up with Bill O'Reilly after the top of the hour.
Let me tell you a little bit about RealEstate Agents I Trust.com.
I want to share a letter that came in.
Real Estate Agents I Trust.
This is from Scott in Tennessee.
He says, Glenn, I cannot speak highly enough about the service that I received from the very first email with RealEstate Agents I Trust.com.
I was contacted right away by Jim, a realtor from your network.
I had a pretty big mess on my hands.
I received what amounted to free budgeting and investment advice during our meetings.
He then proceeded to take a house that I was stuck with and owed way too much money on and sell it in less than a week for much more than I thought I could get.
He did such a fantastic job that I referred him to everybody I know, including my mom.
Her house had been listed by multiple agents for several years.
Jim sold her house as well.
To sum up, thank thank you.
Thank you.
That's Scott in Tennessee.
Let realestate agents I trust.com help you sell your house fast, on time, for the most amount of money without any hassles.
It's realestate agentsitrust.com.

For cable news, Donald Trump is no longer the gift that keeps on giving.
At first he was, but now big change is in the air, and it's all because of this president, Bill O'Reilly, and the cable news war.
Hello, Bill.
How are you?
I'm the same, Beck, but happy new year.
And I have a question before we get underway.
Yes.
So, the Glenn Beck program is a fusion between enlightenment and entertainment.
Yes, yes.
Okay, where am I in that fusion?
You are unfortunately not involved in any of that.
You're kind of the anomaly.
At first, I thought I was in a restaurant, restaurant.
Confusion, obviously.
Yeah.
All right.
So tell me about the cable news war and how it's changing.
All right, column on billorilly.com.
Open everybody to read it.
You are seeing,
not this week, because this week is with the president's address on the border and all that,
a different situation.
But over the past couple of months, a decline in viewership on Fox News.
And
MSNBC
now
some nights winning in prime time which never ever happened
and
the audience for cable news on a consistent basis dropping and it's because it's all Trump all the time
and
you know if you go and you want other news you're just not going to get it
and it's not really you're not getting the news anyway you're either getting we hate Trump or we love Trump.
Business decisions were made.
In the beginning, they paid off.
And now I believe once Donald Trump leaves the stage,
the cable news is in serious, serious trouble.
I think they're in serious trouble, perhaps even before he leaves the stage.
I just don't.
But you're always going to get that hit.
See, what MSNBC has done is they've created a reality broadcast network.
And the reality theme is, when will we get
President Trump?
So every night, that's where they're going.
When are we going to get him?
Here's what happened today, and we're getting closer, and this could happen.
CNN does that on a lesser extent.
CNN is number three because they can't hate as much as MSNBC.
They're trying.
They're sending their personnel to loathing classes.
But they're just not at the hate level that MSNBC is.
So
let me ask you a question here, Bill,
an honest question that you probably
no other host in America would ask this question.
What's the difference between what MSNBC is doing now and what, let's say, I was doing when I was at Fox?
Well, I never saw you as a hater.
I mean, you weren't gleefully trying to destroy anyone.
I watched your show, and you were on my show.
You appeared on The Factor.
And I don't remember you sitting there rubbing your hands together going, oh,
no, we were.
I did actively hate Woodrow Wilson, but he's been dead for a very long time.
So it wasn't cable, Endbeck.
I just want to remind you.
Right.
You know,
you weren't alive then, so I don't know where you were actually hating.
I know, I know.
Well,
I was hating a few years too.
Teddy Roosevelt also loathed him, so you have that in common.
Yes, I did.
Teddy.
Yeah, and I don't really like Teddy Roosevelt either, but that's a different story.
So tell me about, before we leave cable news, is there anything just really good and entertaining you can say about Jim Acosta and his border trip?
Did you see that?
Acosta epitomizes what's happened.
So he's CNN's White House correspondent.
So it used to be on the news agencies that you would get news from the White House correspondent, right?
So what happened today, and here's what they're doing.
And no, no.
Now, Jim Acosta, he's basically guiding you through hate Trump land.
And he's not really interested in reporting facts or seeking the truth about anything.
He's interested in demeaning Donald Trump.
So his whole job is really a facade.
Why don't they just say, here's Jim Casa, our hate Trump correspondent, reporting from wherever?
That would be honest.
Could I ask you something?
You know, the White House correspondents used to be like Jake Tapper, who I think
is a good journalist.
It's like they've replaced Jake Tapper in the White House with Rick Sanchez, who is just this awful clown of a reporter.
Well, I disagree with you on Mr.
Tapper.
I have no respect for him whatsoever.
Really?
I think that he
is much better at presenting
as
somebody who does seek the truth, but he certainly does not, in my opinion, my humble opinion.
If you look back at the White House correspondence, it is not
a crew,
generally speaking, that you would admire.
I mean, Dan Rather,
Sam Donelson.
I mean, these people had agendas all day long, but they were forced by their masters, their corporate masters, to hide it.
They had to hide it.
Now, I work with both Rather and Donaldson.
I saw it with my eyes.
They loathed.
Donelson loathed Reagan.
Rather loathed Nixon.
Hated them.
But they couldn't come right out and say it as Acosta does and some of the others.
So that was a difference.
Where do you stand on the president this week and his address to the nation on the border.
What did you think people missed?
I think
Trump won that Tuesday night
wrestling match because Pelosi and Schumer came across as,
let's say, doddering.
I think that might be the word, doddering, D-O-D-D-E-R-I-N-G.
They, well, he's mean,
he's mean, and the government shut down, and he's so mean
and that's what it came across that was their presentation it wasn't like we have a better idea to secure the nation's border we really understand there's a problem down there and want to fix it no no no that's not what they did so Trump got eight minutes to put his view across to many Americans who were stunned that they actually had to watch some kind of news program I mean, they were looking for the family guy, and all of a sudden, here's the non-family guy, Donald Trump, because all the networks are forced to take it.
Now, I understand there were a lot of broken dishes and angst, but a lot of people who never consume news were forced to watch this.
And Trump got his message across using facts in eight minutes.
So I thought he did himself some good.
Trevor Burrus, Jr.:
What do you think about
the possibility of him using
an emergency order to say we've not a good thing because it diverts the story away from the seriousness of the problems at the southern border and makes it all about Donald Trump.
So that's what the left wants.
The left wants him, they're goading him, they're hoping that he does say, national emergency, I'm taking money from this fund and I'm building a wall and blank you.
That's what Pelosi, Shu, Mercy, and NMSNBC want.
All right, and then they go, oh, you're there, he's a dictator.
Look at Vega, look at him.
Okay, he's a baby.
He's throwing a tantrum.
And then that becomes the story for a week.
And then the real seriousness of tons of narcotics coming here, millions of people coming here, and we don't know who they are.
That goes by the wayside, which is what the left wants.
They don't want to talk about drugs and people smuggling and all that.
They never mention the Amnesty International study that says 60% of migrant women on their way to the border are assaulted, raped, whatever.
They never even report it.
That's not a crisis.
100,000 people dying of drugs every year in this country is not a crisis.
The Mexican drug cartels running that nation, literally running it, is not a crisis.
You're not going to get that reportage.
You're never going to get it.
It's all that drop.
Look at Amis Hitler again.
So how does this end?
Who do you think is going to have to break first?
The president or Pelosi and Schumer?
Well, Trump's not going to break.
Because if he did, that's the end of his administration.
He'll never be re-elected.
So, Trump will either string it out
or declare a national emergency.
Those are his only two options.
Could we?
Pelosi and Schumer, if the polling next week comes in, as I think it might, and says most people want this border solved,
they might have to go back and compromise a little bit and then put a happy face on the comp.
But we're the adults in the room.
We're the ones where, you know, and we, so we'll compromise, get that
government open again.
So I'd say that the odds, if you had to bet, would be that the Democrats would probably,
as you put it, break first, because Trump simply cannot if he expects to be reelected.
re-elected so I think there is a different uh there's a different outcome if he needs to break first and we talked about it last night Stu and I were talking about what Ted Cruz is doing
and I think it's really important and could be a very uniting thing that could compel the the president not only into a 2020 win, but could actually be very uniting.
And we'll go into that with Bill O'Reilly when we come back.
Sponsor this half hour in 60 seconds, and then back to Bill O'Reilly: is Life Lock.
Life Lock, according to experts, some of the top cybersecurity predictions for 2019: ransomware is going to taper off, but it will still wreak havoc, and crypto jacking and other money-making schemes increase.
Government regulation and public sentiment on privacy is going to drive stronger data protection policies, but the bad guys are going to keep up as well.
Expect more nation-state attacks and surveillance on private individuals in the next 12 months.
Somebody's identity is stolen every two seconds.
It's much more than a credit card.
You could miss certain identity threats if you're only monitoring your credit cards.
Now, that's why there's Life Lock.
LifeLock detects a wide range of identity threats, like your social security number for sale on the dark web.
If they detect that your information has been compromised in any way, they have first they'll send you an alert, but they they have a U.S.-based restoration specialist that is going to restore your identity and stop the bad guys.
Now, nobody can prevent all identity theft, cybercrime, or monitor all transactions at all businesses, but Lifelock is the best.

Bill O'Reilly back in 10 seconds.
Station ID.
This is the Glen Beck program with Bill O'Reilly.
Bill, tell me what you think about this potential idea.
I think it would be great for the state of the union.
We're coming out of this whole border thing.
Let's say it gets solved or it doesn't.
Either way, we've learned a big lesson here yet again that Congress is completely terrible and the people there just don't do their jobs.
So if we're going to have a bold new proposal that I think can actually help unite the country and is incredibly popular, Ted Cruz just announced a new constitutional amendment for term limits.
This has been around for a long time.
This is the polling on it.
76% of Democrats agree with term limits, 83% of Independents, and 89% of Republicans.
It's actually more popular among Republicans than the wall is.
And Donald Trump has said he ran on the fact that he would do it.
He supported it as recently as just a few months ago.
The last time there was a push for it, Mick Mulvaney, who is now chief of staff, was the guy behind it.
This is something that I think could take it out of this sort of partisan divide, give us something that we could actually do.
And I would love to see these Democratic Senate candidates that are going to be running for president try to tell the American people that they need to be there for the next 60 years instead of having limited terms.
What do you think?
Well, nobody would do that, though.
Everybody's going to say, oh, we're for term limits.
But then when it comes down to voting for it, many of them won't.
I don't see how that is going to immediately impact the hatred of the two parties right now.
You know, when you have a president
who
has alienated the opposition to the extent that Trump has,
the opposition is basically going to say, we're going to...
We're going to get him out at all costs.
So that's what we have.
So it's like, there isn't anything we're not going to do to get him out.
And that includes we're not going to be reasonable.
We're not going to compromise.
We're not going to do anything that he wants.
But that is
where we are.
But I think that's why with independence, this term limit thing could be perfect timing.
Because let's say he didn't get the
little, it's not cause and effect because it
is.
These guys were for
two term limits for senators 12 years and probably five or six for the house well i guess my argument is they're still going to serve a long period of time yeah i think i think i believe it's a good long-term thing that we need separate from any political long-term but it's not going to
be short-term it's good politics i think short term it's good politics it's something that everybody wants to be on the top of the radar screen but trump can put anything on the top of the radar screen he just has to say it a bunch of times and everyone will start attacking him and going after him.
And I think that's a good thing.
I mean, let them come after him for something that 80% of the people actually want.
Play offense, not defense.
Anybody will.
I think they'll all mouth platitudes that yes.
Good,
then let's vote it in.
And then when you didn't, when you voted against it, let's make sure that Donald Trump can talk to every single senator that is running and every single congressman that is running and say, oh, yeah, but where did you vote on that?
Where did you vote on that?
Where did your party stand stand on that?
You said you were for it, but you voted as a block against it.
That's exactly what the American people hate, is people say one thing and do the other.
Yeah.
I don't know if that legislation would ever even get in because Mitch McConnell would have to get it in, and he's Mr.
Non-term limits, isn't he?
Yes, he is.
He would be a problem.
He would be a problem.
But I'd love to see him mister it.
What was that bill again?
I didn't quite understand.
You're going to have to go back and rewrite it again.
So what happens to the shutdown?
You know, we're at another payday today.
Yeah.
Nothing.
I mean,
they'll get, they being the government workers, will get reimbursed.
When the government finally opens, they'll get back pay.
So nothing will happen.
It'll just be, you know, if you go to Yellowstone, it's going to be tough to use the head.
I mean, that's just the way it's going to be.
Right.
So if you have, let's say you're a government worker, um you're going to get all of this money you could go to a bank or a credit union and just say hey here's my pay stub i'm part of the government uh shutdown i'm going to get it so i just need this every two weeks until this is done and i'll sign it over to you and everybody would give you that loan um
i hope so i mean and
if they didn't then they should tell the press who might even report that locally yeah i mean um there should be a i mean a bank you know maybe not because it's so political now but if some bank should stand up and just say, hey, by the way, federal workers, we've got a program for you.
We'll help you out.
We'll help you out.
You know, you just, when you get it, you bring it back to us and we'll give you the salary.
A bank could look really good by solving that by solving that.
Absolutely.
That's a good idea, Beck.
That's part of the enlightenment.
Yes, it is.
Now, part of the entertainment and comedy,
your thoughts on
how it's going to actually play out this this thing about you know the American people are being hurt and and and security is is being weakened do you believe that this can last very long and Trump come out victorious with this
I think that there'll be some resolution in the next couple of weeks I think that if the Trump administration believes that the
Democrats are not going to compromise, that they will do the emergency thing.
Because again, this strengthens Trump in front of his core.
It looks like he's a man of action standing up to the villainous Democrats.
And I think they'll take the calculation that, look, we'll do this, we'll open a government, we'll fund the wall, and our people will like it and re-elect him.
So that's what I see happening if the compromise doesn't come.
All right.
When we come back, I want to talk to you a little bit about Michael Cohen.
Again, the newsrooms were rubbing their hands in glee.
We've got him this time.
They want all the stuff.
Yeah.
And so he's going to testify in front of Congress in February before heading to prison.
Want to get your thoughts on
what he's going to say, the damage, if any, that that would cause,

Bill O'Reilly, more with him.
Next.
This is the Glenn Beck program with Bill O'Reilly.
Bill, we want to clean up one of the facts that we've heard quoted three different ways.
We've been quoting the president,
and everybody else, including you, have said that this number is even higher.
So I want to know which is right.
Yeah, Bill, it's a sexual assault number coming across the Mexican border.
You said, you think you said 60%?
I've heard two-thirds.
Amnesty International has reported that.
Yeah, there's a Huffington Post report from a couple of years ago that said 80%.
The president, however, in his address said it was one-third.
I don't know if he just misread the number or Doctors Without Borders says it's 30%.
Okay.
So, look.
It's a lot.
The confusion is that how are you going to get accurate reporting?
You're not.
So
the only thing you do is cite the agencies that go in and
ask people
what happened.
But do the math.
If you are a young woman and you are walking in territory controlled by cartels
toward the Mexican border, what do you think is going to happen to you?
All right?
So no matter what the stat is, whether it's 33 or 60,
That's a national crisis if we care, we the United States, about defenseless poor women being brutalized.
And you want to talk about a power dynamic.
The power dynamic between a woman and a coyote is a little off the charts.
Yeah, especially when they have guns and knives and they'll use them.
Yeah.
All right.
So
go ahead.
Let's talk a little bit about Michael Cohen real quick and what Michael Cohen is
expected to say in front of Congress and
how everyone is licking their chops on this on the left.
Yes, this is another example of the cable disintegration that I write about on billorilly.com in my column.
So what you're going to have here is this guy, Cohen, who hates Trump,
going to sit there, and then Democrats are going to say, oh, what did he tell you about Stormy Daniels?
Oh, what did he tell you about Karen McDougal?
How many other women were there?
What did did he do with those women?
Were you there?
It's going to be salacious with a capital S.
And that's what the cable and network news wants.
Diminish the president.
So it's going to be like Bill Clinton.
We got all the Lewinsky stuff.
All right.
This is part two.
And Cohen will sit there and he'll say whatever he wants, whether it's true or not, all right, even though he's under oath.
So what?
How is that going to be disproved?
It's a he said, she said.
He's the lawyer.
Trump is the client.
So, what does he do?
What does Trump do?
Now, I would ignore it, but you're going to have at least seven days of that.
At least.
And Trump is not capable of ignoring it.
Every second,
every salacious thing, and Cohen's going to get his revenge.
All right.
Let me change subjects to two videos that came out.
The first one
is:
Is Betto in the dental chair.
Listen to this.
So I'm here at the dentist, and we're going to continue our series.
Hey, this is crazy,
but not as crazy as Elizabeth Warren and her video.
Let me play a clip of this.
Hold on a sec.
I'm going to get me
a beer.
So bad.
Hey, get me a beer.
My husband, Bruce, is now in here.
Oh, my gosh.
You want a beer?
I'll pass on the beer for now.
Sure.
I will pass on the beer for now.
So this is my speech.
We don't usually drink beer.
And I'm crazy about it.
Okay, all right.
So, Bill,
first of all.
Less filling.
Oh, my gosh.
I mean, I beg the Democrats.
I beg the Democrats, please run Elizabeth Warren.
Please, because she makes Hillary Clinton look less wooden.
Now, that's not a wooden cigar Indian thing.
That's not what I meant by that.
Just a little stiff.
Well, you know, I went to Harvard and I believe I saw Elizabeth Warren careening down Mass Avenue with a couple of beers in her hand, but
it could be wrong.
Yeah, well, she says, if you heard her say,
I'm going to get me a beer.
I'm going to get me a beer.
I'm going to get me a beer.
And then I'm going to shoot my shotgun out the back window.
So
if you had to pick the three most dangerous people to run against Donald Trump, who would they be?
Well, are you asking me for serious whether they beat him or just ridiculous?
No, no, no.
The people who you would say
These would be serious contenders.
For instance, I think Joe Biden would be a serious contender.
Yes.
I have no doubt that Biden would be a serious contender.
But Trump
could lash him in the debates.
Look, if Michelle Obama runs for president, as I understand some very powerful people are asking her to do, she would win.
And so that's where you start.
Michelle Obama would win the presidency of the United States.
And then from there,
Oprah,
Biden,
maybe
Cuomo, the governor of New York.
No way.
Possible
because he's got New York and California locked up.
He just needs to peel off Florida.
Those are the ones.
Okay.
So if I did the top three, not counting Michelle Obama, because I think that's a Greek.
That's really a wild card.
Do you expect her to do it, Bill?
I know she's people want her.
I do not expect her to do it, but it is entirely possible.
You got to understand that there's a crew, and her husband would probably have the final say on it.
Barack Obama.
But there is a crew, and they regularly meet.
Oprah is part of that crew.
And this topic, my sources tell me, is always discussed.
I will tell you,
I don't think they like Hillary Clinton all that much.
And just the icing on the cake would be that Hillary Clinton,
she might have to check herself into a mental institution.
If it was Barack Obama, a Republican, and then the wife of the president,
she'd lose her mind.
Well, Hillary Clinton is not going to get the nomination.
No, no, no, no.
Yeah, no, I know that.
But I'm just saying, that's what her dream was.
She was going to be the one.
And to have a Michelle Obama would die.
Exactly the same scenario with a much better candidate.
Yes.
Michelle Obama is a very formidable woman and can handle herself.
But what she has going for her is basically the press would just lockstep right behind her.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
They didn't like.
There's a lot of people in the press.
100%.
Yeah.
A lot of people in the press don't like her.
Fox News.
Right.
Only Fox News would be opposed.
And the other thing is that if you criticized Michelle Obama, you know, then you're a racist.
Okay.
So hang on.
Would be front and center.
So she would get no scrutiny at all.
And then there would be Barack saying, hey, happy days are here again.
We'll be in.
All of this crazy Trump stuff will be gone.
And
Barack Obama won the presidency twice on very thin record.
He didn't have a good record to run on.
So people listening to us right now, I want you to write down that O'Reilly put forth this on January 11th, 2019, because it is entirely possible.
Probable, I don't think Mrs.
Obama wants to do it,
but she could be persuaded.
Aaron Ross Powell, Jr.:
Write this down in your journals, that on the same day, Glenn Beck told Bill O'Reilly how it becomes probable, and that is economic calamity.
If we have a serious economic downturn, it not only becomes probable for her running, but very probable of her winning easily because she can just say, remember the good old days?
What'd you say?
If Trump's not going into the vote with a strong economy, he loses.
Yes.
To anyone, Bill, you can even lose it.
And he's not going to lose to Camilla Harris or Bernie Sanders, but he will, the Democrats will run a moderate against him if the economy wobbles.
And they're not going to, look, these far-left people, they're entertaining and the press loves them, but they're not serious candidates.
Nobody,
Camilla Harris is going for vice president.
She's hoping that Biden, if he gets the nomination, will pick her as VP.
And I think this is what all the calculations.
Beto, all Beto wants is lecture fees and a book.
I mean, it's money in the bank for him to do this.
Now, is there an outside shot he would be VP?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, they might, but I don't think they're going to run two white men
with the anti-white sentiment among the Democratic Party.
No, he's Hispanic.
No, I mean, but, you know, identity politics is selection of race to represent your party.
No, he's Hispanic.
I'm from Texas.
I saw the campaign.
It was Hispanic against a white man.
And the white man was Ted Cruz, and the Hispanic was Betto.
But he's Irish.
Oh, please don't confuse facts.
You and your facts.
Oh, my gosh.
So annoying.
It was part of the fusion, though, Beck.
With enlightenment and entertainment.
Bill O'Reilly, thank you so much.
We'll talk again next week.
Thank you very much for having me.
There's no plug or anything?
You don't want to throw it?
Oh, you know, Killing ESS is number six.
It's number three this week, this Sunday, and then then the six after a quarter of a year on the list.
So it's got to be good, right?
Killing the SS, got to be good.
Beck even liked it.
We elected Barack Obama.
So I'm not sure I trust the American people.
It's Bill O'Reilly.
And then billorilly.com, as you kindly mentioned, is a place for lively and honest analysis.
Thank you so much, Bill.
I appreciate it.
All right, guys.
God bless.
BillO'Reilly.com.
All right.
I want to talk to you a little bit about Bitcoin.
Is 2019 the year Bitcoin takes back off?
I'm not sure.
We have to watch what happens tomorrow.
In France, the Yellow Vests are actually saying that they want to cause a run on the banks.
They put, I think, another, what is it, 60,000 police on the streets for this weekend.
They say it's going to be very violent.
But they're saying that they want the French people to go into the banks and take 20% of their money out, take it out of the Euro and put it into Bitcoin.
This is not something to prop up Bitcoin.
As much as it is something to collapse the Euro, that's what they're trying to do: create a run on the banks.
I don't think, is it possible this is going to happen and be something is really important on Monday?
Yes, it's possible.
Is it probable?
I don't think so, but we'll have to see and we'll know by tomorrow.
Bitcoin is going to play a role because the economies, whether it's started by some group or or it's just started by bad,
you know, just bad banking practices and bad spending practices,
there are going to be runs on the bank in the future.
And Bitcoin is going to play a large role in that, of a flight to safety, I believe.
So here's what I want you to do.
Learn all about it.
I'm not asking you to invest in anything.
I want you to learn all about blockchain, Bitcoin, cryptocurrency.
Take the crypto course.
It's smartcryptocourse.com.
It was designed for this audience so it can take you along and teach you everything that you need to know about why this technology is important and the role that it will play.
Then you decide if you want to invest in it or not.
I think everybody should have a hundred dollars in some sort of cryptocurrency, but don't go crazy with it because it's very volatile.
SmartCryptoCourse.com, smartcryptocourse.com, or call 877-PBL back, 877-PBLBAC, smartcrypto course.com.
Welcome to the program, the Glenn Beck program.
So glad that you are here.
I wanted to play something
that
has been taken off of Twitter that I think is really important.
It's audio and video from
a rally in Sweden.
But I just want to show you how dangerous
it is to have an algorithm or people who judge what's hate speech, what's not hate speech, and to have a platform, not a media source, but a platform decide what's arable and what's not.
Can we please play the Muslim Crowd Threatens Jews?
Here they are talking about, oh Jews,
the army of Muhammad is returning.
I arm me, make me of service, they say.
Down with the house of Saad, that's the Saudi.
They don't make anybody.
Yeah, I know.
No normalization with Jews.
No normalization with Jews.
All things said chanted like this are most positive.
Down with the house of Saad, no normalization with Jews.
It gets much worse.
Strike them with knives.
Strike them with knives.
Strike, strike.
Do not be afraid.
So, strike, strike, do not be afraid.
Anyway, this is happening in Sweden in a town square with a bunch of people holding a Palestinian flag.
This has been removed from
social media.
I played this and I have reposted it on social media and I will continue to repost it on social media
so people can see what is happening over in Europe.
And you can proudly see the Palestinian flag and how the Palestinian movement is not about peace.
Now it's really important for me to clarify.
I have met Palestinians over in the Middle East.
I have met Muslims over in the Middle East.
And when they are alone and feel safe, they do not say a lot of these things, but they keep their mouth shut because the people who are saying these things will kill them.
There's also another story from the Palestinian areas around Jerusalem where a Palestinian guy who didn't have a problem with Jews sold his house to somebody from Jerusalem.
He was taken and tortured, and
I don't hear anybody talking about that.
I don't know why.
I mean, we had to pay attention to Khashoggi,
but
what about this guy?
What about this guy?
Does his life matter?
The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenbeck program.
Now, Jim Acosta did some unbelievable reporting.
He was out on the border yesterday wearing sunglasses in the middle of the day, trying to prove that there is no problem on the border in Texas.
Did he go to San Diego where it's happening?
No, he went to McAllen, Texas, where it was happening a few years back, and he wasn't there.
He's standing in front of a giant border wall and here's his cute little report.
And here are some of the steel slats that the president's been talking about right here.
As you can see, yes, you can see through these slats to the other side of the U.S.-Mexico border.
But as we're walking along here, we're not seeing any kind of imminent danger.
There are no migrants trying to rush toward this fence.
It's over in the McAllen, Texas area.
As a matter of fact, there are some other businesses behind me along this highway.
There's a gas station, Burger King, and so on.
But no sign of the national emergency that the president has been talking about.
Well, I have to tell you,
when I saw this from Jim Acosta yesterday, I thought, wow, that kind of proves the point of offense.
And people aren't usually coming over during the day unless it's a mob, like is happening in San Diego.
But then we started thinking, you know, he's making a good point here.
Let's go to Stu, who is out on location.
Stu, where are you right now?
Stu, are you?
Go ahead.
Are you there?
Yes, Stu, go ahead.
On the road again, or broken down on the side of the road.
Hi, I'm Stuper here reporting live right now from the Long Island Expressway, one of the busiest roads in the United States of America.
And you're not going to believe what I am seeing out here right now, Glenn.
It's incredible.
We are told, we are told America loves, they love their cars.
We are told that the economy is raging right now, and this is one of the best economies we've had in decades.
But yet, here I am on the Long Island Expressway, and there is almost no one on the road.
This president is a fraud.
Hold on just a sec.
Wait a minute.
It's not rush hour.
What?
It's not rush hour.
Of course,
it's not rush hour.
The Long Island Expressway is usually open during the.
Hello?
I don't...
It's not breaking up.
I can still hear the car engine.
Radishes.
All right.
We'll try to check in with Stu and we get a better connection.
Maybe we can get one from CNN.

Can we go back to him?
We have Stu back on the line.
Are you still on the Long Island Expressway, Stu?
Hello, Stu.
No, I'm not.
No, I'm not.
Glenn,
Aquaman, number one or underwater.
Hi, I'm Super Here.
Oh,
I am Super Here.
I'm reporting live from a showing of Aquaman that is going on right now at a local theater.
We are told by this administration that Aquaman is the number one movie in America.
But is it?
Well, I'm here right now, and I see only four other people in this entire theater.
This man is a fraud.
He is a liar.
He's lying to us about the moment.
It's a workday in the middle of the day.
It's a workday in the middle of the day.
Of course, there's only four people in the movie theater.
You started breaking up there, but let me just finish the true statistical factual information that I have.
I am watching this film right now, and what we're seeing is that man and fish have merged.
Man and fish have now merged because of global warming.
This president continues to deny it.
But I am sitting here right now watching four other people watch a man-fish combination on the big screen.
Okay.
This
is shocking, and this president is a liar, and I hope people understand it and watch my Instagram channel.
All right.
Thank you very much.
Stu Bregeer
doing some Jim Acosta reporting now on the road.
All right, I want to talk to you a little bit about how important it is
for the president to pay attention to the economy and to
stay
right
lockstep with a good economy and doing everything he can to make sure that we don't go into a recession.
Now, there is speculation that we are headed for a recession.
In fact, most people believe now that we are headed for something really, really bad.
I think we are too.
The numbers just show it.
As far as debt, spending,
personal debt, personal credit, all of these things all around the world, we're just on the brink of something really, really bad because Europe did not come back after 2008.
China only recovered 20% of what they had lost in 2008.
We've done well, but the rest of the world hasn't.
But there are some things here in the United States that should be noted on the positive side.
I just got this from the Palm Beach Daily.
They were talking about the labor statistics from the Bureau of Labor.
They said that the U.S.
economy added 312 jobs, 312,000 jobs in december
now that far exceeds the expectations of 184 000 and the average hourly hourly earnings also rose 0.4 percent over last month okay
0.4 percent that doesn't mean that much does it but that means it has risen hourly wages 3.2 percent over last year
so let me translate this from econ bull crap to English.
U.S.
companies hired 70% more workers than they anticipated during the holiday season.
You hire more workers because things are better than everybody is telling you it is.
The workers that they hired got 3.2%
more this last December than they did the December before.
Why is that important?
3.2% doesn't sound like that much of an increase, but it is the biggest increase in hourly wages since 2014
and
one percentage point higher than the inflation rate.
So, on the whole, Americans got an actual real inflation-adjusted pay raise last year.
We haven't had that in, I don't know how long.
So, now that's the good news.
Now, I want to show you why it is so in.
Hang on just a second.
We have,
is he still at the movie theater?
Stu,
I think you're taking the Jim Acosta thing too far.
It didn't work for him.
I don't know what you're doing.
America's Pastime or America's Pastime of the Past.
Hi, I'm Stu Bergiere, reporting live from Yankee Stadium in New York City.
And as you can probably hear, there are tons of people here.
They're walking around.
The streets are hustling and bustling, as you'd expect.
However, Yankee Stadium is empty.
No one who's passing by is even bothering to go in.
Do people care about baseball anymore?
I don't think so.
Okay, hang on.
It's January.
We don't, the season is over.
Nobody should be going in to watch baseball at Yankee Stadium.
And it's in the middle of the day, and it's Friday.
Outside of baseball season.
Okay, Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
The truth, of course, is that your lies about what happens here at Yankee Stadium are well documented.
First of all, yes, sure, there are fences and walls keeping people out of Yankee Stadium, but that's not the reason.
Walls don't work.
And I want to make one more thing clear.
All of the things that I talk about in these incredible award-winning reports are not about the actual topics.
They're about me.
I want you to to think about me.
I, the news, is about myself.
I am the most important story here.
I want you to look about me.
I want you to think about me.
I want you to dream about me.
Shimakai is super here.
Think about me every waking moment because that's all I care about.
Live from New York.
It's super here.
Thanks, bud.
Oh man,
I think that disease from CNN is starting to spread.
Let me tell you about realestateagentsitrust.com, then back to the programming and why the president needs to pay attention to the economy and what it means for 2020 in just literally one minute.
First, let me tell you, if you're trying to sell your home, please, please, please, please go to realestateagentsitrust.com.
We get letters in all the time, and I want to read one from Scott from Tennessee.
He said, I can't speak highly enough about the service that I received from the very first email with realestate agents I trust.com.
I was contacted by a realtor named Jim from your network guys.
He said I had a pretty big mess on my hands and received what amounted to free budgeting and investment advice during our meetings.
He then proceeded to take a house that I had been stuck with and owed way too much money on, and he sold it in less than a week for more money than I thought he could ever get.
He did such a fantastic job that I referred him to everybody i know including my mom her house had been listed by multiple agents over several years jim just sold her house as well so to sum up thank you all for the service that you provide that is the reason tanya and i started realestate agents i trust.com we've been in Jim's position.
We've been in that situation where you're like, ah, geez.
These people that we have found all over the country that are real estate agents, they don't work for me.
I'm a network that have assembled some of the best people around that listen to the show, have the same values that you have, and will sell your home.

Get moving.
10 seconds, station ID.
The year was 1928.
Amelia Earhart became the first woman to fly across the Atlantic.
It was a year after Charles Lindbergh had become the first man to do so.
The economy was booming.
People had refrigerators for the first time.
Americans were having their houses wired for electricity.
America was experiencing a year with record low unemployment and record high household incomes.
Now, 10 years before, after the wake of World War I, America had experienced a financial crisis.
We had a stock market crash and a depression deeper than the one that would be coming.
From 1918 to 1919, it was bad.
But since the lows of that were short-lived because,
well, Calvin Coolidge helped them recover by cutting spending and cutting taxes, factories were booming.
The stock market had increased over 400%.
Companies were expanding and hiring.
Now, leading up to the 28 presidential election, Calvin Coolidge had been a very popular president, but
he could have easily won re-election.
But I think his son had just died.
And he had also promised he would only serve one term.
So he did.
So he left.
And Coolidge handed the reins of the Republican Party over to a young and very popular member of his cabinet, Herbert Hoover.
Now, Hoover at the time in the 20s was known because he spearheaded the effort to save New Orleans and many other cities along the Mississippi Delta.
And he won the 1928 election in a landslide, 60% of the popular vote, 80% of the Electoral College.
He was the first Republican ever to win Texas.
He entered in 1929 with a 78%
approval rating.
Think of that.
His first first year in office was marked with yet further gains in stocks, more gains in popularity.
In fact, at a midsummer concert in Central Park, President Hoover went, this is 1929, in the middle of the summer of 29.
Remember, the crash comes in October.
He walked in to Central Park, a Republican president, walked into Central Park.
The standing ovation went on for 10 minutes.
He was just sitting in the crowd.
It was so bad he had to get up on the stage and say, please stop so we can listen to the concert.
That's how popular he was.
Now,
in 1932,
he loses to Franklin Roosevelt.
Why?
Hoover lost his reelection bid to Franklin Roosevelt in the worst defeat in the Republican Party history.
He won all but six states in 1928.
Four years later, he won only six states.
Let me go to 1988, Ronald Reagan.
Ronald Reagan's popular VP, George Bush, ran against Michael Dukakis in 88.
The 1980s economy, very strong.
From 81 to 1988, the Dow had gained over 150%.
percent.
Bush defeated Dekakis 426 to 111 on the electoral map, winning 40 out of the 50 states, including California.
But four years later, Bush lost to Bill Clinton.
He carried only 18 states.
Most lopsided presidential election in history.
1972, Richard Nixon wins 46 out of the 50 states.
He carried 520 of the country's electoral votes compared to 17 for McGovern.
It was an early night.
Nixon won California, Washington, Oregon, New York, Florida, Wisconsin, and Hawaii.
Imagine a Republican carrying two of those states.
And yet, just a few years later, Richard Nixon resigns in disgrace, one of the worst and least populated presidents in American history.
So what is the moral here?
What is the theme that runs through these stories that explains the dramatic falls from grace?
From October 29 to 1931, the U.S.
stock market lost 90% of its value, the crash that
launched the Great Depression.
From 89 to 91, stocks declined 28%.
Bush lost to Clinton.
From 72 to 74 at Nixon's resignation, markets had lost 26%.
That dramatic decline in stocks gave us the most dramatic reversal in political fortune history.
Now, since Trump's election, stocks are still up, but they are down 8% from their all-time high since the fall of last year.
Stocks are merely a barometer of what people are feeling.
If people are feeling good, stocks are up, and the public is perfectly willing to ignore scandals.
Ask Clinton.
He was president during a stock boom.
Nothing mattered.
It's the economy stupid.
But when stocks are down, it indicates the public's mood has turned negative.
And in that environment, presidents end up bearing the blame for how people feel.
And like Nixon, scandals are not ignored.
Scandals are going to come.
They come with every president.
And now with a Democratic Congress, more scandals are going to be happening.
The president inherited a booming economy.
He has made it better.
And rising stock markets and nearly a decade since America's last financial crisis.
Remember,
10 years before
1929, there had been a big crash, a depression, but it didn't last long.
And from that depression in 1919 to 1929, stocks went up 400%.
Since 2008
to 2018,
stocks have gone up 400%.
We
possibly are headed for dicey territory.
And if I am right, it doesn't mean just trouble for Trump.
It means socialism will be very difficult for even Republicans
to say we don't want any part of it.
Please, Mr.
President, please.
Above all things, make the economy your number
one
issue.
Please don't do anything that hurts the economy and do everything you can that makes it easier for people to do business.
Thank you for cutting regulation.
Thank you for cutting taxes.
We should stay focused on those things while you continue to take care of things like the border, etc., etc.
You got a lot on your plate, but you can do nothing if the economy begins to really nosedive.
You're listening to Glenn Beck.
So I was just, I was a pleasure to be around for the last five years.
I've just been joyful
and happy and pain-free and just joking around with everybody or not, maybe the exact opposite, until I started taking Relief Factor.
A relief factor is
a, I can't even say it's a drug.
It's something that I take.
I don't even know what you would call it.
Something I take four times a day.
It's all 100% natural ingredients.
It was designed by doctors.
But there's four key ingredients.
And these four key ingredients, what they do is they go in and they reduce inflammation.
That's where most of our pain and the trouble with our bodies come from, is from inflammation.
Take Relief Factor.
I tried it for three weeks.
I went on to order more.
I got my life back.
Get rid of your pain.
Give it a shot.
relief factor, and live the life you want to live.

So, Stu, I'm reading a
I'm reading a book, The Simple Economics of Artificial Intelligence, because artificial intelligence is going to change everything.
And it is hit into something that is so basic, and I feel so stupid for not realizing this, but
I don't think,
I mean, maybe I'm alone.
Maybe I'm just a really dull knife in the drawer.
How would you describe artificial intelligence?
What is it?
I mean, it's the process of computers, machines learning, instead of just
being given a task and executing it over and over again like computers do.
It is instead learning new ways to do it, the best ways to solve the problems.
It's essentially the idea of a machine learning.
No, that's what I would have said.
Okay.
But AI is actually nothing more than a prediction machine.
Now, when you think of this, I want you to think about how frightening this is if you are living in China or you would live in a 1984 state.
It's a prediction machine.
And the more information you give it, the better its predictions become.
Okay.
So let's say you're living in China.
Without any information, you go missing.
Now the government's looking for you and it doesn't have any information.
Well, it's predicting, okay, maybe they're at work.
All right.
That's us.
Without all the information.
The more information you give, the better the prediction is.
So when you have access to all information, I can now monitor your emails, I can now monitor your friends, I can now monitor your energy
usage, I can monitor your credit cards, I can monitor what you've purchased, who your friends are, has their hot water heater added more water, used more water than they usually use, like there's a guest staying at the house.
Now, with all that, I can say, you know what?
He's been talking to this person an awful lot lately.
He just bought a ticket to this part of town, and this friend who lives in that part of town, their water usage and electricity usage went up this morning, and their electricity was on.
Their lights were on late, late, late last night after he disappeared.
I think he's there.
That's all AI is.
It's predicting what's happening next.
Right, okay.
I mean, that makes sense, right?
Like, you'd say the same thing with like a purchase on Amazon, Amazon, right?
Like this person has purchased these 10 things.
That would lead me to believe I'm going to suggest this 11th thing because it seems like the pattern they would be.
It's going to predict what I want to purchase.
So they are getting now, speaking specifically of Amazon, the predictions are getting so good that with just a little more information, because it needs two pieces of information.
It needs, on general, when people buy this product,
what else do they buy?
Then it needs your buying habits.
Do you have that what else people normally buy?
Are you like the average person?
What makes you different?
They now believe that they can get the prediction of the things that you also want.
So when you go, if you, let's say you start to do Amazon grocery service, okay,
and you go in,
and you start using Amazon grocery service and you still have to order, what will is you will go on and you say, I need bread.
Then it'll say, people who bought this also bought.
And you'll be like, yes, I need milk too.
Okay, yes, and I need cheese.
Yeah, I need the breakfast cereal.
And it will know what normal people do, but as it gathers more information on you, you're not really going to have to do a grocery list because it will know your buying habits, how often you buy them, when you have to have new fruit loops.
you buy that every other time or twice a week or whatever it is, it will know you buy milk, but every other time you buy milk, you also buy fruit loops.
And so it will start packaging.
And so Amazon is going to be the first company that is going to be able to predict you so well
that they are going to, right now,
the way everything is done is shopping and shipping.
You shop, it it ships
but prediction is going to become so good because they have gathered so much information on you this is why alexa is in your home it's shopping alexa is in your home to listen to you because they're about to switch from shopping and shipping to shipping and shopping
They believe that they can predict you so well soon that they're just going to send you the groceries.
They're just going to send you the things that they know you need.
The things that they know, oh, this just came out, they are going to love this,
and they will send it to you.
And they feel they can handle about four to five percent of returns.
That means they're going to be able to predict your shopping habits
95% of the time, and they're correct.
So, this is a prediction machine.
That's all it is.
And it's getting so good and it's changing so fast.
For instance,
have you ever used translation services from Google?
Yes, a few times when there's something I, you know, that's the only place I know how to translate anything.
Okay, so
translation services from Google used to be horrible.
Used to be horrible.
And it's kind of like
they put those little suggestions up in your email box.
And it's not just to help you learn to write a better email or make it easier on your fingers to write an email.
They're also, you're teaching it to predict you.
So it goes in and you might be doing a work email and it might say, I love you.
And you're like, why would I know?
But it's learning now you,
this person you never say I love you to.
This category, that doesn't belong.
Okay.
And so the more it learns and deep learning deep machine learning is really starting to take off now let me show you how much it changes so in 2000 I think it was 16
the snows of Kilimanjaro from Ernest Hemingway started like this
the the actual original translation Kilimanjaro is a snow-covered mountain 19,710 feet high it's said to be the highest mountain in Africa That's how it starts.
November 2016 was like a Tuesday.
Somebody went in, tried to translate that to Japanese,
and it read this way.
Kilimagero is 19,700 feet of the mountain covered in snow, and it is said to be the highest in Africa.
Not a very good translation.
No, and is it only 19,000 that is covered in snow?
Or
what is that, right?
The very next day, after putting in machine learning, translating it into Japanese, it went from that to Kilimanjaro is a mountain of 19,710 feet covered with snow and said to be the highest mountain in Africa.
That's the right way, right?
Hello.
Yeah.
Yeah.
In one day, it changed.
And it's only because
it added so much information about
the words and predictive words in Japanese that Google didn't have access to.
It's changing so rapidly.
The reason why I bring this up is because, A, it shows you
how
your habits are going to be, and it's fascinating to me.
Your body only gets stronger if you change your exercise routine, right?
You go in and you do the same thing day after day after day after day,
it eventually stops being effective.
You have to change it up.
You have to confuse your body.
If you're eating and you're eating the same thing day after day after day, you have a harder time losing weight because you have to confuse your body.
Your body gets used to things, right?
The mind, it goes stale when you're not learning new things and you're you're not pushing the boundaries, right?
We are so easily tracked because we're so predictable.
The other reason why this is interesting to me is
we're going to be asked, in my lifetime, we're going to be asked to define life.
We can't define it now even inside the womb of a woman.
When AI passes the Turing test and you cannot tell the difference, is that because it has intelligence or just because it can predict
what your next question is going to be and predict the answer that will satisfy you?
There's no reason to it.
It's not reasoning.
It's just doing what it was trained to do.
Predict you.
It's saying the perfect thing that will make you think it has intelligence, essentially.
Right.
Because that's its goal.
To predict you,
to be able to model you, to be able to think like you.
So, what does that mean?
It means we should have
deep discussions on AI
because it's just a predictive model.
And so, if it is tasked with,
well,
remember that game where they said
where it had to find, the AIs
played characters and they had to
create fuel?
Oh, yeah.
That was the
life,
artificial life simulation, and survival in the game required energy, but childbirth didn't.
So the AI to try to make this society work, evolved into a sedentary lifestyle that consisted mostly of mating in order to produce new children which could be eaten
They solved the problem you said we needed energy and you said it didn't cost any energy to give birth to something so nice and easy they solved the problem This is why you have to be aware of it You have to be aware of it because it's not reasoning It's not reasoning.
It's just pursuing a goal.
Yeah, it's it like another one was uh you can't be killed on level two.
That was the goal to the computer, so to AI.
And so AI, what they did is they got to the end of level one and just paused the game or crash the entire game.
They found ways to crash the game because they didn't want to lose on level two.
You told me not to lose on level two.
So I'll pause it on level one or crash it on level one.
I'll never lose on level two.
We just found there was a story out today that I think it was Google Maps found that
they were taking the satellite
photography and they were having to they tasked AI with making these maps quickly and translate this into like a Google map well it did but it was leaving things out of the map like skylights so if there was a building with a bunch of skylights or a bunch of things on top of a roof it didn't have the time to complete the map it was not told delete or take any shortcuts it was told do this it decided it cannot i can't complete that task and do everything so i don't think this is important and so it cheated It started doing something itself and leaving things off.
We just have to be extraordinarily careful as we get into AI.
Our sponsor this half hour is American Financing.
It is really important that you do not get into a loan that is
crazy.
I told you about a JP Morgan loan that is.
I still have that here.
Yeah.
It's this crazy loan system that they've just come up with, a relationship pricing.
Oh, relationship pricing.
That sounds good.
You're getting a special deal, Glenn.
Right.
I am because I have a relationship with JP Morgan.
And so I can take my 401k and I can just apply that to my house.
And so I can say, oh, there's my 20% down payment.
It's, it's what I have in the stock market.
Now, on page three,
the very last thing about this relationship pricing says managing collateral.
The value of securities in your pledged asset account, if it falls below the required minimum, you will be asked to post additional collateral.
But if you don't, your pledged securities may be sold to satisfy such obligation, and you will not be entitled to choose which assets are sold.
Wait, what?
What's this?
Now, I saw this.
I got this letter in from JP JPMorgan, and then I saw this on a millennial website as an ad, and it was smart investing.
It was how millennials can get a house.
And I thought, oh my gosh, are you so stupid?
Do you not remember what happened in 2008?
Doing it all over again.
Doing it all over again.

This is the Glenbeck program.
There is something to watch this weekend.
I want you to keep an eye on France to see if there are runs on the banks in France.
I don't think it's going to happen, but if it does, it will be a gigantic story in the markets on Monday.
They are expecting a very big and violent weekend in France with the yellow vests
and what they are working on.
But they are now trying, intentionally, openly trying to collapse the Euro, and they're asking anybody who supports them to take 20% of their money out of the European banks this weekend, put that in cryptocurrency.
If that would happen, which I don't think most people will do,
if that would happen, it would cause possibly a collapse and a run on the banks in France and possibly in Europe.
Blah, blah, blah.
Let's talk about something important, like what I learned on MSNBC last night, and maybe we can get into this on Monday.
Yeah.
That apparently the president does not want people of color living in the United States.
Now, sure, that might seem like a claim with absolutely no evidence behind it.
However, a Democratic congressperson said it on MSNBC, so it has to be true.
See?
Well, I'm kind of a pinkish color,
and
I bet he wouldn't mind if
I moved away.
I'm just saying.
I'm just saying.
It's possible.
Either that or that's ridiculous, MSNBC.
Stop it.
That's ridiculous.
