Glenn Beck, the New York Times bestselling author of The Great Reset, provides the ultimate handbook for tackling and winning life's most important arguments.
FUNNY. FRIGHTENING. TRUE.

The #1 New York Times bestseller that gives you the right answers when idiots leave you speechless!

It happens to all of us: You're minding your own business, when some idiot* informs you that guns are evil, the Prius will save the planet, or the rich have to finally start paying their fair share of taxes.

Just go away! you think to yourself—but they only get more obnoxious. Your heart rate quickens. You start to sweat. But never fear, for Glenn Beck has stumbled upon the secret formula to winning arguments against people with big mouths and small minds: knowing the facts.

And this book is full of them.

The next time your Idiot Friends tell you how gun control prevents gun violence, you'll tell them all about England's handgun ban (see page 53). When they insist that we should copy the UK's health-care system, you'll recount the horrifying facts you read on page 244. And the next time you hear how produce prices will skyrocket without illegal workers, you'll have the perfect rebuttal (from page 139). Armed with the ultimate weapon—the truth—you can now tolerate (and who knows, maybe even enjoy?) your encounters with idiots everywhere!

*Idiots can't be identified through voting records; look instead for people who hide behind stereotypes, embrace partisanship, and believe that bumper sticker slogans are a substitute for common sense.

      A recurring segment of Glenn Beck's national radio program involves question-and-answer sessions between Beck's stock character, "The Idiot," and show regulars Steve Burguiere and Pat Gray. This book is a compilation of those segments, encompassing social, political, and economic debates. Beck draws on more than 20 years of broadcast experience, giving his all in a vocal presentation that ranges from low-key to didactic to satirical. He's clearly having fun with the subject matter, and his inflections inspire both laughter and contemplation. Less expressive are Burguiere and Gray, who provide patient instructional performances in counterpoint. Abridgment yields a seamless linear progression; the print copy's scattershot approach is eliminated, with the exception of "ADD Moments," humorous asides inserted at timely intervals. A.Z.W.
