00:01:34.380 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:02:03.740 this is the Glenn Beck program. Hello America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. It is Tuesday.
00:02:15.540 There's a lot to report today, especially coming from Loudoun County, Virginia. Uh, you know,
00:02:22.480 the guy who was arrested and taken out in handcuffs because he was shouting, uh, and, uh, this is the
00:02:30.540 guy they based the whole terroristic threat on. You haven't heard his story yet. Most likely
00:02:38.660 when you hear his story, you won't believe it. I'm going to talk about that. Also, I made mention
00:02:48.680 of the unions and school teachers. I'm sorry. I won't give the benefit of the doubt to any teacher
00:02:56.480 that still belongs to the union. If you belong to the teachers union at this point, you don't get
00:03:01.800 the benefit of the doubt. Sorry. And I think it's time for teachers and anyone involved in the union
00:03:08.640 to quit. Stu has said, maybe some of them want to work from the inside and try to change it. Maybe
00:03:15.920 I think it's too late. We have a long time teacher and a guy who was the president of his local chapter
00:03:27.140 of the California teachers association, the teachers union. We talked to him in 60 seconds.
00:03:36.820 The Glenn Beck program. Yeah. You know, I was talking to somebody the other day and they said,
00:03:42.200 you know, the difference between the men and women is women are always, um, thinking about the future
00:03:50.540 and they're, they're, uh, thinking about what happened in the day and, uh, and they're worrying
00:03:56.020 about what happened yesterday and guys just want to make it to the end of the day and go to go to bed.
00:04:02.660 And I think that's really true. I do. Cause I'm ready for bed right now. Ready for bed. I'm ready to go
00:04:10.320 home and just get in my jammies and slip between my Giza dream sheets and go to sleep. Um, my pillow.com

00:04:49.300 Sam Crutchfield. He is a former local president, California teachers association and a, uh, third
00:04:57.620 and sixth grade teacher on the central coast and central Valley of California for 20 years.
00:05:04.000 He joins us now from California. Hello, Sam. How are you?
00:05:08.740 Hey, fantastic. Great to be here. Uh, so Sam, you and I talked, uh, yesterday afternoon, um, a little bit,
00:05:16.940 and we were talking about what's happening in California and what's happening with the teachers union.
00:05:24.000 Uh, and you're one of those guys who said, I want to change things from the inside, right?
00:05:31.820 You know, I did. Um, the CTA, uh, basically at any, any, a, both, uh, basically when they sent out
00:05:41.220 their flyers before election time was kind of a blueprint about how not to vote for me, but,
00:05:49.160 uh, you know, despite their, you know, their, their stances on, on controversial issues like,
00:05:58.080 uh, access to abortion and gun control and abolishment of Columbus day tax reform, immigration and stuff
00:06:05.700 like that. Uh, you know, they, they, um, I'm sorry. Uh, a little bit nervous here.
00:06:15.940 Don't, don't be nervous. Are you, let me ask you this because I know you're nervous and our producers
00:06:21.800 talked to you, uh, yesterday and said you were nervous. Is it, are you worried about retaliation
00:06:28.420 of being on the air? Uh, slightly, slightly, you bet. Um, not, yeah. Okay. All right.
00:06:38.940 Um, the, um, you resigned as president of the, uh, the union earlier this year, um, because
00:06:48.880 you say the union released your private medical information to the general membership. What
00:06:55.120 does that mean? Uh, they did, uh, and it was, had to do with my vaccination status. Uh, yeah,
00:07:03.920 it was, uh, a way for them to try to get me to resign and, uh, that together with, uh, just a
00:07:13.460 whole bunch of other stuff going on at the time. And, um, the lack of, you know, tolerance, I put
00:07:20.300 that in quotation marks because, uh, you know, the, the left always talks about tolerance until
00:07:26.060 you don't agree with them. But, uh, you know, the colleagues, the people that, uh, that I trusted
00:07:31.880 the most, the people on my, uh, on my team there, uh, you know, released my, my vaccination
00:07:39.420 status to the general membership. And, uh, that, that along with other things, like I
00:07:45.920 said, uh, in an effort to, to try to get me to resign, you know, and, uh, I weighed out
00:07:52.980 things with, with my family and everything and, uh, uh, decided at the end of the day that,
00:07:58.300 uh, it, it wasn't, you know, worth it to, to continue in that way. Uh, it's a, it's a
00:08:04.900 non-paid position. It's, uh, it's thankless most of the time. And I, I started with the
00:08:11.720 intentions of trying to help, uh, our local teachers. And when it became, uh, personal
00:08:17.940 and political, like, why, why am I going to continue like this?
00:08:21.340 So when you say political, you mean access to abortion, uh, abortion and, uh, you know,
00:08:29.680 trying to get rid of Columbus day and tax reform and defund the police. Do you mean that kind
00:08:34.860 of political?
00:08:36.680 No, uh, political as in, um, trying to, uh, to run over people that, uh, that don't agree
00:08:45.320 with your stance on, on vaccinations. Okay. So, um, the California teachers, a lot of people
00:08:55.300 don't know this, but the teachers union, uh, back in 2008, do you remember this too? We found
00:09:01.660 that they had changed in 2007 or 2008, they changed a longstanding rule that you couldn't
00:09:07.020 be, um, a part of the teachers union. If you had been a communist or someone who had actively
00:09:14.480 worked to overthrow the United States of America, this is 2007 or eight. And I remember saying,
00:09:21.040 Hmm, why would you do that? Um, how radical is the teachers union?
00:09:31.580 I'm sorry. Are you asking me? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm asking you.
00:09:36.020 Um, well, you know, in the last few years, I've, I've kind of seen a shift, uh, kind of hard
00:09:42.640 left as far as our, uh, representative assembly and things like that go. The, the, uh, the
00:09:50.600 leadership, uh, from the members, uh, especially with, uh, black lives matter and defund the
00:09:57.800 police and things like that. Yeah. It's just this hard push to, to the left and, uh, and
00:10:07.640 the, um, their, their, uh, stance on CRT. And they say that they're not teaching critical
00:10:15.600 race theory. They themselves are not, but they're definitely providing links to, uh, for teachers
00:10:23.640 to access that kind of, uh, information if, if, if they want it. So they're, they are promoting
00:10:31.300 it. Definitely. So Sam, the, the, the average teacher, I mean, I, I see what's going on.
00:10:39.260 They have to, they have to know what's going on. Uh, and they see this stuff being pumped
00:10:45.680 out and they either agree with it or they're ignoring it for some reason. And I can't, I
00:10:52.760 can't figure out why are most of the teachers in agreement with this?
00:10:57.000 You know, I, I don't think, I don't think so. I mean, a lot of them are, but, uh, you
00:11:04.700 know, the, the teachers union has, and I always referred to it as kind of a necessary evil,
00:11:10.900 right? Where, uh, you know, they do provide a lot of good services for teachers. And if,
00:11:18.640 uh, if they kind of stick to that, I'd, I'd still be happy being a member today. It's them
00:11:25.360 getting their fingers and things that haven't, have nothing to do with, uh, with good teaching
00:11:31.280 and with keeping good teachers and with protecting the rights of teachers. You know, that's, that's
00:11:36.720 where I get off because especially now with, uh, with their endorsement of, of the sickening
00:11:45.420 the FBI on, uh, on parents who are trying to, to exercise their first amendment rights and,
00:11:54.160 and speaking out, uh, to, to boards. That's just over the top for me. That's the most sacred
00:12:00.760 of our rights. And, uh, for them to, to try to silence people like that is just, uh, like
00:12:07.980 they said, kind of the last straw with me. Are the teachers that refuse to get the, uh,
00:12:15.720 vaccine, a vaccine, has it been decided yet that they'll lose their job, they'll lose
00:12:21.700 their pensions, or is that still under debate with the unions? Well, uh, you know, access to
00:12:32.200 information is, is really tough at this point too, because everybody's doing something different.
00:12:37.600 And there, as far as I've heard, there is no United message from coming from, uh, our union,
00:12:45.020 as far as how they plan to, to deal with that. Now, the mandate has come out here in California
00:12:50.980 that, uh, all teachers need to be either vaccinated by October 15th or submit to weekly testing.
00:13:00.620 And, you know, my, uh, uh, a dear colleague of mine who was, who was president, uh, prior to me
00:13:07.340 for the last eight years, um, doesn't want to get the vaccine. And, uh, also doesn't want to
00:13:15.240 submit to the weekly testing because, I mean, it's the invasive kind where they stick the,
00:13:19.500 the, uh, the, uh, Q-tip in your nose. And, uh, he feels that's a violation of his, uh, religious
00:13:28.120 liberty. And, uh, because he's not willing to do that, uh, he's within the next 36 hours facing, uh,
00:13:36.280 unpaid administrative leave. And, uh, that, how can you guys go from, uh, the, the heroes of teachers
00:13:46.300 to, and, and being, and some of you pushing for the opening of schools to now, all of a sudden,
00:13:53.200 when the unions were pushing for vaccines for everybody, and we've got, we won't do it until
00:13:58.400 everybody has a vaccine. And now, uh, you, the teachers union kind of stuck on, well, I don't
00:14:04.860 know. And there's not a real quick, uh, clear message. It's, it's really odd that, um, you guys are
00:14:12.940 now, you know, from hero to zero, same with the nurses. Absolutely. You know, here we are, we're
00:14:20.300 the ones who want to, a lot of us were pushing for, uh, reopening of schools because we saw what,
00:14:26.500 uh, distance education wasn't doing for our students. I want to say not doing to them, but,
00:14:35.520 uh, you know, the lack of, of education that, of good quality education that we know how to do
00:14:42.000 just wasn't going through with distance education. So a lot of us were pushing for schools to be
00:14:48.120 opened again. And yeah, we, we were, um, considered heroes and no, especially with parents having to
00:14:57.980 step in and, and kind of homeschool and then, uh, seeing how hard the job was. So we, you know,
00:15:05.780 we were hailed as kind of heroes or, or supermen. And all of a sudden, uh, now we're, we're, uh,
00:15:12.080 a threat to our own students because we, uh, you know, choose not to get vaccinated as we're coming
00:15:19.040 out of the pandemic. It's just, uh, it's unreal. So you resigned as the local president or you were
00:15:27.080 local president of, uh, the California teachers. I just said a minute ago, I don't think I can trust
00:15:33.200 teachers anymore that belong to the, to the unions. Is that fair? Uh, there's, there's a lot of, uh,
00:15:44.680 waking up going on out there. I think, uh, give teachers, uh, another chance. Uh, we're speaking
00:15:53.700 loudly, uh, right now as, as, as you are, and everyone's trying to figure out, uh, where they're
00:16:00.920 going to go because, uh, like I said, the teachers union does offer a lot of, uh, services and
00:16:09.520 protection that, uh, that, you know, where else are you going to get kind of, if you, if you do
00:16:15.920 resign. So, uh, you know, there's a lot of fear out there. There's a lot of, uh, can you, can you be
00:16:22.900 fired if you're not a teacher in the union? No, no, that, uh, that's not a thing. Okay.
00:16:30.260 Interesting. So are you still part of the union? Are you planning on staying with the union?
00:16:36.800 Actually, Glenn, uh, I wanted to, uh, take this opportunity to say, although I appreciate, uh,
00:16:43.540 you know, some of the services that, uh, the union has, uh, given me and other teachers throughout the
00:16:49.820 state of California over the years, uh, because of the stance of NEA, our, our, uh, you know,
00:16:57.240 kind of mother organization up there and, uh, the continued, um, stance of, of, uh, CTA as,
00:17:06.180 as far as not providing us, uh, clear defense against these vaccine mandates. Uh, I just,
00:17:15.040 I just can't in all consciousness, uh, continue to be a member. Uh, so take this opportunity,
00:17:22.140 uh, this morning to say, I, I am renouncing my, my affiliation with CTA and NEA.
00:17:30.060 Wow. As a former local president, that's a pretty big deal.
00:17:35.920 Earlier this year. Yeah. From president of my local to, to a complete non-member, I didn't expect
00:17:41.760 this at all, but, uh, the pushing of masks, the pushing of, of, uh, of the, uh, experimental
00:17:50.020 vaccine. Um, yeah, it's just, and, and now, like I said, the, uh, the silencing of parents
00:17:58.060 doing, you know, expressing their God-given, um, right to, to speech. It's just, it's over
00:18:09.120 the Tahoe. It's too much. Well, I can't thank you enough for your, uh, courage to, um, to stand
00:18:17.880 and to, um, and to tell the truth. And, uh, I, I wish you luck. Please keep in touch with
00:18:27.460 us and let us know if there is, you know, any kind of pushback on you. And I'd, I'd also
00:18:32.440 like to see if there was, uh, anybody that is, um, actually standing up, uh, and, and
00:18:39.260 following your lead.
00:18:41.340 I, I'd just like to, um, say that this is not a reflection of our, of our school board
00:18:47.820 or our district in, in any way, because they're kind of stuck, uh, in the middle where they're,
00:18:54.480 they have to carry out the governor's mandate. And, uh, so they're kind of doing the best
00:19:01.520 that they can through this whole horrible situation. Uh, but it's, it's not a reflection
00:19:07.540 on them. And I'm definitely not, uh, I hope I'm not coming across that. Uh, I'm trying
00:19:12.760 to, to criticize them in any overt way.
00:19:16.580 Sam, thank you so much. I appreciate it. Former local president, California teachers union
00:19:21.940 and, uh, uh, and, and now, uh, former union member, uh, still a teacher, Sam Crutchfield.
00:19:30.400 Back in just a minute. First, let me tell you about relief factor. Fun fact. We're all
00:19:34.900 getting older every day. One of the things that comes with getting older is aches and
00:19:37.940 pains. The joints start to wear down. The normal exercise of everyday life begins to catch
00:19:43.220 up and, uh, you know, it's cause exercise is bad for you. Anyway, uh, most of what causes
00:19:49.000 this pain and lots of other forms of pain is inflammation, especially in the joints. If
00:19:54.220 you're going through it, it can really take over your whole life. I know I went through
00:19:59.020 it. May I recommend relief factor? It's not a drug, but developed by doctors. 70% of the people
00:20:05.200 try it to go on to order more relief factor. Try the three week quick start trial pack right now
00:20:11.340 for 1995. Go to relieffactor.com or call 800-500-8384. It's relieffactor.com 800-500-8384.
00:20:22.080 10 seconds. Station ID.
00:20:36.220 We are just so jam packed today. Judicial Watch has, uh, obtained critical race teacher training
00:20:42.820 guide for westerly Rhode Island and they're saying they're not teaching CRT. Um, I'll try to get into
00:20:48.540 that later and show you exactly, uh, how they're covering this and what they are teaching. They
00:20:54.740 are teaching critical race theory. They're just not calling it that Loudoun County. Do you remember
00:21:00.060 Scott Smith? It was in June and he was arrested at Loudoun County, Virginia at a school board meeting.
00:21:06.580 Um, and it was ultimately deemed an unlawful assembly after attendees vocally opposed a policy on
00:21:14.320 transgender students. Do you remember this? And he was taken out in handcuffs. Well, we're going to
00:21:20.600 get to this later today, but I, I urge you to stay around for the whole story. Um, he was the poster
00:21:29.880 child, um, of domestic terrorism, blue collar male upset, crazy. He got the memo started. Uh,
00:21:39.100 yeah. Isn't he the guy? Yeah. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. So here's the real story. What you didn't know
00:21:45.580 about Sam was that his daughter had been raped in the bathroom by a guy who occasionally wears a skirt
00:21:54.500 to school. The school board was trying to cover it up. He went to school, the, uh, to pick up his
00:22:04.240 daughter. Um, the, he, the police were called on him. They said, it's no big deal. And he said, um,
00:22:11.340 I believe my daughter that she was raped. They called the police on him. They just escorted him
00:22:17.700 to the hospital where they did a rape kit analysis on her. She had been raped. They didn't want to say
00:22:25.420 anything about it. They tried to sweep it under and he was at the podium and he was about to expose this.
00:22:34.240 When some leftist came up and said, you know, I don't believe your daughter. And he, he, as a dad
00:22:41.520 just kind of went nuts, but that's the guy, his daughter was raped. And that's why the FBI is saying
00:22:52.000 he's a domestic terrorist. Hello, America, get to your school board and run for your school board.
00:23:02.000 Take your schools back from these unions and from these communists.
00:23:10.820 We have Chris Stewart on talk about, uh, the, uh, FBI coming up in just a second. American financing
00:23:27.480 is there to help you reduce your monthly bills and to help you start saving more money. Uh,
00:23:35.160 look in, in a year you could save $12,000. How about six, how about a $6,000? If you could save
00:23:45.880 500 bucks a month, wouldn't it be worth it? You could just by lowering the interest rate on your
00:23:52.620 mortgage with a refi. And if you roll in your high interest credit card debts, you're going to
00:23:58.380 save a buttload of money. And believe me, you will thank me for it later. Take a moment and call
00:24:03.140 American financing at 800-906-2440. They're a mortgage lender, but they're not going to
00:24:09.320 recommend something like a refi unless it's really going to help you out financially. No tricks,
00:24:13.860 no gimmicks, just financial help. 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440. It's Americanfinancing.net. Call them now.

00:24:36.040 So, we all know that the FBI has been unleashed by Merrick Garland, our Attorney General, and he is
00:24:52.960 saying that, you know, there's been terroristic threats. Well, we find out today that Loudoun
00:24:58.940 County, Virginia, the school board meeting where one of the parents was arrested, and he, I guess,
00:25:05.440 is the catalyst. He was arrested for being disorderly, yada, yada, yada, and had been suggested
00:25:14.200 now that it was a form of domestic terrorism. We found out now that his daughter had been
00:25:22.080 raped in the bathroom by a, quote, transgender student, a student that just identified as bisexual
00:25:29.120 and wears a skirt from time to time. When you hear the whole story, it is remarkable.
00:25:38.120 The school district knew it. They were trying to cover it up. Thank goodness for the sheriff's
00:25:42.960 department. She was taken to a hospital after the school said that she had been beaten up.
00:25:48.400 No, she had been raped, and the rape kit told the story. And as they cover it up, that kid
00:25:58.020 goes on to rape or at least sexually batter another kid in school. And at the meeting with
00:26:09.880 the school board, the superintendent said, to my knowledge, we don't have any record of assaults
00:26:15.240 occurring in our restrooms. Board chair said, have we had any issues involving transgender students
00:26:20.400 in our bathroom or locker room? The answer is yes. This is why the dad went nuts. You would have gone
00:26:26.280 nuts, too. Now the FBI doing the dirty work for the leftists and for the unions and school boards.
00:26:35.620 They're out of control. They're out of control. They're now looking into parents because you don't
00:26:42.060 have a right. Chris Stewart is with us. He's a congressman, and he has written a letter to A.G.
00:26:49.420 Garland demanding answers. Welcome to the program, Chris.
00:26:55.260 Hey, good morning, Glenn. Look, it's interesting to see who Attorney General Garland, he has shown
00:27:00.920 who he really is. And if we go to bed tonight, thankful for one thing, it's that he was not put
00:27:05.840 on the Supreme Court. Because he can try to destroy our country for four years, but at least he won't
00:27:11.180 be doing it for 40 years, which he would have been. But this is just beyond outrageous, Glenn. I mean,
00:27:16.660 look how quickly things have changed. In a matter of months, we've gone from Trump as a fascist to
00:27:22.820 Trump supporters or fascist terrorists to young people like my daughter who's expecting and thus does not
00:27:28.800 want to take the vaccine right now. She's a domestic terrorist. To parents who love their kids and are
00:27:34.880 scared to death of the poison that's being taught in schools are now domestic terrorists. And this
00:27:39.980 Attorney General is going after them and turning a blind eye to everything else that's going on in
00:27:45.320 the world. It's unimaginable to me. So you wrote a letter to the Attorney General and you asked for
00:27:52.700 five questions to be answered. You want to go through them? Well, and to be clear, too, it's
00:27:59.860 not just me, Glenn. And this is good, because there were 60 of us who joined on this letter. And I don't
00:28:04.680 know. I don't know. I'm searching my memory. I don't know of any effort like this that had 60 members
00:28:11.420 of Congress who signed on within a few days. But essentially, the five questions are, you make this
00:28:17.800 accusation. That parents, as I said, concerned parents are going to their school board and are
00:28:24.580 just voicing their concerns. And by the way, the extreme majority of them, the vast majority of them
00:28:31.020 are doing so in a very patient and reasonable way. And from that, you've lurched to, as we've said
00:28:38.360 already, they are a threat of domestic terrorism. So basically, show us the evidence. Show us the
00:28:45.160 evidence where you have reached this conclusion. And secondly, we want to know how you reach this
00:28:51.500 conclusion. Not only the evidence, but what kind of coordination took place between the White House
00:28:56.740 and activist groups and teachers unions and the Department of Justice. Because you know that there
00:29:03.840 was. In fact, we have evidence there was. And in fact, the White House is the ones who initiated this.
00:29:09.280 They asked for these activist groups to write this inflammatory letter to the Department of Justice
00:29:14.420 saying they were intimidated and that they felt threatened. And then giving the Department of
00:29:19.420 Justice, Attorney General Garland, the excuse to say, OK, well, we have to we have to respond for
00:29:24.840 finally this. Why in the world is this not a local law enforcement issue? Right. If you're not intent on
00:29:31.540 intimidating, harassing and silencing parents, if you why won't you let the local law enforcement
00:29:38.160 agencies who are perfectly capable of dealing with an activist who gets out of line? Why do you have to
00:29:43.980 bring in the heavy hand of the Department of Justice and the FBI unless your intention is to silence
00:29:49.580 and intimidate? And I tell you, I wish every parent would go to the next school board meeting. I don't
00:29:54.440 care when it is. Please go and just show your presence so that we can show Attorney General
00:30:00.120 Garland that this is going to have the exact opposite effect of what he hoped for. So, Chris, I mean,
00:30:06.800 they don't answer letters. They don't answer Congress. They don't answer to anybody anymore.
00:30:14.400 Yeah. I mean, it's kind of it feels like a United Nations reprimand at this point. Oh, gee.
00:30:22.900 Yeah. Well, a strongly worded letter, as we all say in satire, right? Right. And unfortunately,
00:30:29.900 Glenn, it's one of the few tools that we have. I mean, we don't control the House. If if we controlled the
00:30:35.260 House, if I were chairman of the committee in a year, we could hold hearings and we could subpoena
00:30:39.980 and we could demand that they come in and they can't ignore subpoenas. But when Nancy Pelosi is
00:30:45.700 in charge and when Chuck Schumer's in charge, there's very few tools that we have. Now, it can
00:30:50.920 be a benefit. For example, you and I are talking about it right now. So it does help to raise
00:30:55.300 awareness. And eventually, he is going to have to answer this letter in some fashion. Now, it might be
00:31:01.160 three months from now. And he might say, well, we're still working on it. That's probably what
00:31:04.480 he will do. I have no illusions at all that he's working every night late into, you know,
00:31:10.180 till one or two o'clock in the morning trying to answer this letter to these Republican members
00:31:14.800 of Congress. I'm not foolish. I know that he's not. But it's one of the few tools we have. And
00:31:19.300 it's one of the few ways that we can help help the public become aware. And also, Glenn, so the people
00:31:24.360 know we're infuriated by it as well. But we're not just passively watching and sitting by. We feel the
00:31:29.760 same way that parents feel about this.
00:31:33.360 So, I mean, two years is going to be very long. I mean, how long has he been in office? Ten
00:31:40.620 months? Nine months? Look at how our country, and I don't think, I mean, I probably, I believe
00:31:48.920 you probably believe the same thing. A year from now, this country is going to be radically
00:31:54.700 different. Radically different. Yeah. I mean, one of the things. Go ahead. I'm sorry, Glenn. I didn't
00:32:03.180 mean to interrupt. But one of the things that, I mean, people reflect to me all the time, and they
00:32:07.600 say to me all the time, and you and I feel it, it's not just that things are changing. It's they're
00:32:13.260 changing so fast. You can't wrap your head around one issue, and three more issues have already gone
00:32:19.160 by you. And certainly, that's their intention. Their intention is to flood the beach. I mean, they
00:32:24.680 reveal this on the stay in office. We are going to flood the beach. They're not going to be able
00:32:29.460 to keep up. They won't be able to object because we will go so quickly and so broadly across our
00:32:34.660 society. And when you look at what he's accomplished or unaccomplished in eight months or nine months,
00:32:42.600 and you think, how do we live through four years? I do think you reach a point of critical mass,
00:32:46.540 where they've done pretty much all they can do. I mean, you've already tried to destroy the
00:32:50.800 military. You've already destroyed Department of Justice, FBI, now school boards, et cetera,
00:32:54.460 et cetera. I mean, at some point, they may run out of targets, but it's to leave our country,
00:32:58.900 as you said, a really different place. Yeah, I have to tell you, Chris, I mean, you know,
00:33:04.680 this all makes sense if you look at it as, you know, something I said a long time ago, the enemy
00:33:09.820 of the future will be chaos. And we all know who the author of chaos is. What they're creating is not
00:33:16.000 only chaos, but gridlock. Look at our airplanes. Airplanes not flying. Southwest are not able to
00:33:21.500 fly. Why? Because the pilots are on a sick out, and it's going to happen all over. And if it doesn't
00:33:32.760 work to change Southwest's mind, Friday, those guys are gone. Friday, the police officers are gone.
00:33:39.820 You won't have enough pilots. You won't have enough police. You won't have enough anything
00:33:44.920 to be able to pull ourselves back from the brink. To me, this is a computer that all of the apps are
00:33:56.100 starting to freeze on you. The only thing you can do is push the reset button. And I think that's what
00:34:03.060 they're trying to cause. They're just everything they're doing is throwing monkeys. This is
00:34:08.900 sabotage. Sabotage. Yeah, Glenn, I just couldn't agree more. There's two things that will be the
00:34:16.700 outcome of this, and both of them are horrible. Number one is they just want to break faith with
00:34:21.620 the American people. They want the American people to look at the government, to look at institutions,
00:34:26.400 to look at everything from religion to Department of Justice, to pick an institution, and just to
00:34:30.820 conclude they don't work anymore. And the point of that is being, well, maybe our nation is so broken
00:34:36.280 that we really should just start over. And if we're going to start over, then what will we do?
00:34:40.720 And you know what they're going to suppose. But there's also another element to this, and that is
00:34:44.620 the United States, whether we like it or not, Glenn, we are the light and the example to the world.
00:34:50.280 And it allows them to go to President Xi in China, or leaders in the Middle East, or Vladimir Putin
00:34:56.620 and Russia and say, look at that mess. Do you really want to be like that? It allows those
00:35:01.660 leaders to go to their own people and to say, look at the United States. What a mess. Do you really want
00:35:08.120 to be like that? But stick with me, and we're going to avoid that kind of chaos. We're going to avoid
00:35:12.460 that kind of hatred and emotion and the disruption. And I mean, those two things, as I said, it changes
00:35:19.280 our future. It changes the future for our children. If we can't keep a core together of people saying,
00:35:25.560 no, I love my country. My country is not perfect, but my country is not completely broken. And if we
00:35:33.800 can't go to the rest of the world and say, look, we're struggling right now, but you got to stay
00:35:37.480 with us. We're going to fix it. We can get through this because we can, but it's going to be a real
00:35:42.640 fight to do it. Chris, thank you so much. God bless you. God bless you. Keep up the fight. Thank you.
00:35:50.820 Bye-bye. Chris Stewart. What? I was going to say, we got to stay optimistic. We got to stay
00:35:56.900 in the fight because we can't just lose faith in our future. I know you feel that way, Glenn. You
00:36:01.700 have said that to me many times. Yeah. We're in it. We're in it until one way or another. We're all in.
00:36:11.040 Thank you so much, Chris. I appreciate it. I urge you to go to your school board meeting. Even if
00:36:18.580 you're not having this problem, you need to send a very clear message nationally. We are in charge
00:36:27.520 of our children, not you. Everyone, everyone must go to their local school board meeting. You have to be
00:36:36.240 there. All right. Our sponsor this half hour is Patriot Mobile. This is a great, great organization
00:36:44.500 that is working with you. They are fighting the good fight on the first amendment, the second
00:36:51.700 amendment. I mean, they put their money where their mouth is. This is quite honestly, a organization
00:36:58.220 that was developed to, instead of going to people with their handout and create a 501c3 and, hey,
00:37:06.640 how can we raise money to fight against communists and authoritarians? Why don't we, why don't we
00:37:14.100 build a great company that people can use and then we'll take our money and we'll, we'll start,
00:37:19.940 you know, working against those authoritarian ideas. That's what Patriot Mobile, that's, that was
00:37:25.660 the idea on how to start it. PatriotMobile.com slash back. Now they have built a great service
00:37:31.600 around the same cell towers as the major carriers. You're going to get the same great service,
00:37:35.520 half the cost, half the cost. And they are using their money and their influence to be able to
00:37:43.440 stop the bleed of this nation and start to heal its wounds. It's PatriotMobile.com slash back. We all
00:37:51.880 better hang together or we will hang separately. Support those companies that are standing for
00:37:58.040 America. PatriotMobile.com slash back. This is the Glenn Beck program. I want to play some, uh,
00:38:12.140 I want to play some interesting audio for you. This is NPR encouraging people who have had the vaccine
00:38:19.900 to tattle at work. Listen, what would it take you to report an unvaccinated coworker? Someone on the
00:38:27.800 internet said they do it for a bag of flaming hot Cheetos. So here's the thing. So there's going to
00:38:33.700 be a federal vaccination mandate for all companies that employ more than a hundred people. But OSHA,
00:38:39.800 the agency responsible for enforcing workplace safety has fewer than 2000 inspectors across the
00:38:46.360 country. Now listen to this. And there's what, eight or nine million workplaces. So you can do
00:38:51.100 the math. That's a former OSHA enforcement director that my colleague Andrea Shue talked to this week.
00:38:55.680 So what's OSHA going to do? Well, if an employee files a complaint and if they allege a serious hazard,
00:39:03.060 then OSHA wants to get out there as soon as possible to investigate the complaint. And if a company
00:39:08.260 isn't complying, they can be charged up to $13,600 or 10 times more than that for repeated violations.
00:39:15.820 Slightly more expensive than a bag of hot Cheetos. Come get us. This is this amazing. Here's NPR
00:39:25.600 encouraging Americans to rat on one another.
00:39:29.980 By the way, I look at the mask now, not on everyone, but on many people almost as a black shirt. I mean,
00:39:42.960 it's a symbol now of I'm on this side of the issue and not entirely. There are a lot of people that still
00:39:49.660 feel like I have other conditions or whatever. And I think quite honestly, Texas is the right kind of
00:39:57.880 attitude. There are some that wear the masks. There are some that don't. The masks don't make
00:40:05.380 any difference, Stu. Do the masks make any difference? And not N95. Right. Regular.
00:40:11.460 Wouldn't it make sense if you actually cared about I mean, if you really wanted to wear the mask and
00:40:16.140 protect yourself, wouldn't you be wearing an N95 by now? What's the purpose of wearing less
00:40:20.720 lower quality masks when they're now available? You can get them anywhere. Any, any, any Home Depot
00:40:26.360 will carry them for you and they do protect you. Right. N95s actually do work. So why don't,
00:40:33.660 why doesn't the government encourage people who are concerned about this to wear those?
00:40:38.720 Instead, they tell everyone to wear cloth masks. Now, let's do anything. Even if they did do something,
00:40:46.480 though, you'd be you'd be requiring other people to help you get through this issue. Why wouldn't
00:40:52.980 you just encourage people to take care of it themselves? They can wear an N95 whenever they
00:40:57.040 want, whenever they want, and they can stop it for themselves. But yet the government never
00:41:02.020 recommends this behavior. Why? Why? Because they're striving for the Great Reset. They're trying to pit us
00:41:11.460 against each other. I mean, now we're talking about health care being raised, the prices raised.
00:41:17.560 If you don't have a vaccine, all the things we warned you about with universal health care
00:41:22.080 are now being put in place. Yeah, there you go. Back in a minute.
00:41:29.460 This is the Glenn Beck program. Let's talk about the covenant. You know, that happened in Israel where
00:41:35.020 they won't sell Ben and Jerry's ice cream. The covenant, the Old Testament stories. It is really
00:41:40.760 important that we find a way to get these biblical stories back into our culture and make them real.
00:41:47.660 I don't know if you've I don't know if you've seen The Chosen, but it is really, really good.
00:41:54.280 There is now the covenant that is in production, and they have written it with Andrew Clavin, who is
00:42:00.940 great. I mean, Andrew Clavin involved in this is going to be fantastic. Fantastic.
00:42:04.200 They would like you to invest in the project. KOTV, C-A-Y-O-T-V dot com slash back. That's
00:42:13.580 K-O-T-V dot com slash back. These things take a lot of money, and we have to start financing our
00:42:21.520 own things. We have to get these stories out there, and we are able to do it now, but we don't have
00:42:29.300 access to the big money. We need average people to help invest in these things. So The Covenant
00:42:35.640 from KOTV, C-A-Y-O-T-V dot com slash back. If you would like to make an impact on the culture,
00:42:44.280 help produce The Covenant. It is a multi-year television series where all of the Bibles of
00:42:51.820 the stories of the Old Testament are told correctly. KOTV dot com slash back.
00:42:59.300 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn
00:43:27.620 back program. Hello, America, and welcome to Tuesday. There is a lot going on in our country,
00:43:37.360 and I don't know how we bring it back together unless we come back on our founding principles.
00:43:44.160 That's what brought us together in the first place, the Bill of Rights. But nobody's talking
00:43:48.260 about that. And now the left and the right are both talking about maybe it's time for a national
00:43:53.560 divorce. Good heavens, what does that even look like? Well, probably pretty bad, involving a
00:44:02.900 revolution. But are we already in a revolution and we don't know it? That we take on in 60 seconds.
00:44:13.300 The Glenn Beck program. Imagine if you had to live entirely on food that had little or no nutritional
00:44:22.040 value every single day. Now, as a person that finds great nutritional value in heavy cream, I don't like
00:44:34.160 that idea at all. The first reaction would be no, of course. You know, if if you would buy into these
00:44:46.800 kinds of things, we'd have scurvy. Well, how are dogs? How are dogs surviving the way they are when
00:44:55.300 they eat kibble food? Because there's almost no nutrition in kibble food because it's all been
00:45:00.060 sterilized. That's why you want rough greens to put on it. Rough greens is not a dog food. It's a
00:45:05.700 supplement that you sprinkle on the dog's food. It contains vitamin, minerals, omega oils, antioxidants,
00:45:11.300 all the stuff that, you know, your wife tries to get you to eat because it is alive. It comes in a
00:45:18.180 little Ziploc bag and, you know, you get it once a month and you put it on your dog's food and it will
00:45:25.660 make a difference in your dog's life. A huge difference. I've seen it in Uno. Get a free bag
00:45:30.680 right now just to see if your dog will eat it. Some dogs don't like it. Most dogs love it. But if
00:45:36.640 your dog will eat it, then call back and get a full bag of rough greens and watch the difference in
00:45:41.520 your dog. It's roughgreens.com slash back or call 833-GLEN-33. It's 833-GLEN-33. Call them today.
00:45:49.340 Tomorrow night at nine o'clock, the divided states of America. Is it time for a national divorce?
00:45:59.340 The author of the new book, The Dying Citizen, Victor Davis Hanson, is with us now. Victor,
00:46:06.560 how are you, sir? Very good, Glenn. Thank you for having me. So I heard you say a couple of weeks ago
00:46:13.000 that we're already in a revolution, but we don't know it. Only one side is really fighting it.
00:46:19.340 Can you make that case here? Yeah, I think what's happened is the majority of the people,
00:46:25.080 based on polls of these new cycle events, whether it's the border or critical race theory or
00:46:30.460 stagflation or Afghanistan, all of them are a pretty traditional electorate. But the left has about 30%
00:46:38.540 of the support, but they have all the institutions. They have the media, Silicon Valley, academia,
00:46:43.940 K-12, Hollywood, entertainment, professional sports. So that's a megaphone. And we feel like
00:46:50.660 this bi-coastal from Boston to Miami or from Seattle to San Diego that each look out respectively on the
00:46:57.440 EU or the globalization in Asia, that they're the whole country, but they're not. And they exercise
00:47:04.240 an inordinate amount of cultural power. So I don't think that we're evenly divided. I think the majority
00:47:10.140 of us want a traditional America. So two to one, they want Columbus Day. Joe Biden is now at 38%.
00:47:17.240 And so when they see what's going on, they say, this is not America. So I don't think we're going
00:47:22.340 to have a civil war because the left has inordinate megaphone power, wattage or voltage, but they don't
00:47:30.320 have the number of people. And I think all it takes on our part is for people to say, you know,
00:47:35.040 I've had enough and it's time for me to start to invest more time in going to a school board meeting
00:47:41.780 or coming out to vote or giving money to a candidate. And we're not as good. We have our
00:47:47.200 community, our family, our traditions that we worry about, but we're not 24, 7, 360 degrees like the
00:47:54.500 left is focused on politics. And I think now that's going to end. Otherwise the citizenship is going to
00:47:59.900 be dead. I have no choice. I've, I've seen this and, uh, been on the front lines as I know you have
00:48:06.720 been. We, for some strange reason, the, the left doesn't have a problem just giving money like crazy.
00:48:14.260 Uh, they give money to these, these crazy institutions. Uh, the tides foundation has found
00:48:21.680 a way to, in my opinion, launder money. Uh, so you can give it to the most extreme people without
00:48:28.100 your name being on it and the, the right they're looking, and I think this is actually wise, but
00:48:34.700 they're looking for return on investment. Uh, and sometimes that return doesn't come in the next
00:48:40.460 election. Uh, no, it doesn't. Right. And, and so how do we change this? Well, I think we have to
00:48:47.740 identify the problem. The left is not anymore. The middle class, it's the party of the hyper wealthy
00:48:53.360 and the very subsidized poor. We're the party, the Republican or conservative, whatever term we use
00:48:58.940 loosely is the upper middle and middle and lower middle class. And we don't have the culture that
00:49:05.200 the left wealthy likes, and we don't have the romance that they, they, they show to the poor
00:49:10.400 and they despise us. But we got to remember that this new wealth, if we look at the fortune for 400
00:49:17.160 Glenn, it's not the old oil and transportation and construction. These pragmatic businesses
00:49:22.960 are minerals or timber that people who ran them and corporations who profit them from knew something
00:49:29.020 about the physical world. They're all tech and finance and wall street. And they're all adept at
00:49:35.140 tapping the 7 billion person global market. And their ideology reflects the bottom line,
00:49:42.300 globalism, et cetera. And they're left wing because they feel they're never going to be subject to the
00:49:47.560 ramifications of their ideology. They have the money and the influence to navigate around,
00:49:52.240 you know, for John Kerry, you'd take a private jet and talk about climate change. If you're Nancy
00:49:57.060 Pelosi, you praise the teachers union, you put your kids in private school. So we're up against a left
00:50:03.040 wing, multi-million and multi-billionaire class. And I don't think we quite grasp that. And because
00:50:09.640 class is really the issue, not race. And they keep saying race, race, race. But you know, Oprah and
00:50:14.800 Margaret, Meghan Markle and the Obamas and LeBron, these are not exploited people, even though they say
00:50:21.800 they are. And but we're really hung up on this identity politics as the left does not want to
00:50:26.940 talk about the party they've become, an elitist, bicoastal, globalist, arrogant party that wants
00:50:34.320 to talk down to the middle class. Do you think that's changing? Do you think it's being exposed?
00:50:39.540 And is it being exposed fast enough? I don't know if it's being exposed fast enough, but I know that
00:50:46.500 they're very upset and they're paranoid that people are starting to say to the left,
00:50:52.560 you people are racist because you're obsessed with race and you people are very wealthy and
00:50:58.960 you're elitist and you're privileged and we're not going to take it anymore. And they're starting
00:51:04.080 to think, wow, aren't Mexican-American communities on the border in the San Joaquin Valley, aren't they
00:51:09.660 supposed to do what we tell them? Why are they not doing what we tell them? And a lot of people are
00:51:14.160 saying if you turn your power over to these people, you will be paying $5 a gallon like it is in
00:51:19.640 California for gas. Your electricity will be unaffordable. Your kids will be not given an
00:51:24.820 empirical education. They're going to and it's not for you're going good. It's for their sense of
00:51:29.080 acquiring and sustaining and perpetuating their own power. These are these are people right out of
00:51:35.320 the Jacobin revolution in France or the Bolshevik. They're not Democrats. I think everybody's got to
00:51:40.060 realize that we're not dealing with Harry Truman or even Bill Clinton Democrats. This is a radical
00:51:46.300 fringe that's got the money and the influence and the institutions that took over the Democratic Party.
00:51:52.300 So how do we fight this?
00:51:54.780 I think we're doing what you're doing and I think there's avenues, there's podcasts, there's blogs,
00:52:00.600 there's talk radio and people are getting angry and they're starting to say, you know what?
00:52:04.520 If the science says acquired immunity is good as vaccination and I've had COVID, then I'm not
00:52:11.460 going to get vaccinated. Otherwise, I would ask the people who've been vaccinated to go get COVID so
00:52:16.420 they would have double indemnity too, like you want me to have it. So they're starting to expose the
00:52:21.360 whole illogic of this left of Dr. Fauci, of General Milley, of John Brennan, of James Clapper.
00:52:28.500 He's unelected. I think there's really a pushback and it's getting heated now,
00:52:32.720 but I think people have to sustain it. You saw the pilots at Southwest and the governor of Texas.
00:52:39.260 These are not crazy people. They're going back to the principles of foundations and we believe in
00:52:44.140 a strong middle class that lives within defined borders, that is not tribal and doesn't, you know,
00:52:50.840 privilege race over, you know, merit and we're not going to throw away the Constitution in the 233rd
00:52:58.260 year of a republic. We're just not going to do it. And I think a lot of people are starting to wake up,
00:53:02.540 but we've got to sustain it and encourage them that they're not crazy because that's what they
00:53:07.240 want us to believe that we're all cranks or transphobes or nuts and we're all alone. We're
00:53:12.100 going to be canceled. And oh, how I get an email every day. I used to read your history books,
00:53:16.960 but now I throw them against the wall. They're all the same email that people send. And I think
00:53:22.100 you get even more than I do and everybody does that, but that should encourage us to speak out,
00:53:26.420 not to be coward or, you know. Yeah. I think the, the reason why the FBI has been called out is,
00:53:32.300 uh, one, their arrogance. They think that they can get away with anything and their arrogance will
00:53:36.920 be their undoing. Um, but also because we're winning that they would not do something like
00:53:43.820 this if it wasn't making a difference. They're terrified of that. They are. And what did you
00:53:49.900 ever think, Glenn, that we would live to a day when the wall street journal writes an op ed and says,
00:53:55.620 given the status of the FBI, it should be disbanded and broken up and recalibrated and started all
00:54:01.280 fresh. No, that's a pretty revolutionary thing to say in the wall street journal, but that was there
00:54:05.760 last week. And so when you have people with that status saying the FBI of James Comey or Andrew
00:54:12.800 McCabe or Kevin Klein Smith is corrupt, Lisa Page, Peter Strzok, and you can't be fixed because
00:54:19.960 they're on elected judicial, you know, legislative executive power, all in one person are all in a
00:54:25.400 cadre in Washington and they're corrupt and we can't fix it. So let's just get rid of it and start
00:54:30.620 over. That's a pretty, that makes them very afraid. And the same thing with the Pentagon,
00:54:34.140 when you've got people who say, General Milley, you violated the joint chiefs, uh, advisory role,
00:54:40.940 you interrupted the chain of command, you contacted your Chinese counterpart in a way that's
00:54:44.980 unthinkable. And you violated article 88 of the uniform code of military justice. When you called
00:54:50.440 your commander in chief, a Hitlerian figure to a main journalist, you can't do that. And I think
00:54:56.480 he's crazy now. I mean, he's really upset and he can't, he can't believe people would say this.
00:55:01.580 He's chairman of the joint chief. So it's starting to embolden people. And I think this is really good
00:55:06.260 for democracy and what constitutional Republic that we are. You know, I keep looking for a, uh,
00:55:13.060 Charles Sumner sort of event where somebody is going to stand up in Congress or in the Senate and
00:55:19.140 say, neither side, neither of you actually care about things. You're playing a game and I'm not
00:55:26.860 playing a game. I'm, I'm, you know, Roger Ailes said to me at one point, you know what your problem
00:55:33.020 is you won't play the game. And I said, no, because it's not a game for me. I can't believe
00:55:39.720 it's a game. It that's despicable and disgusting. Uh, I think it is. I agree. And I think most
00:55:46.840 Americans feel that way. I have the same experience at Stanford. I've had people who won't speak and
00:55:52.300 said, you can't do this. You're a senior fellow. You're not supposed to talk like this. All right.
00:55:57.120 When I did your interview a week ago, the book shot up to number two and all of a sudden it went out
00:56:02.680 of stock within 24 hours, even though it's been selling by orders, but they don't count books that
00:56:08.760 aren't shipped. So it's never, never been in stock since 24 hours. They just put it out. So I did
00:56:15.280 your show and another show, all of a sudden it was number two on Amazon. And all of a sudden it just
00:56:20.560 stayed out of stock until as we speak. And then people say, well, don't worry. They're still ordering
00:56:26.520 them, even though they won't count them as orders for your rankings because, uh, they're not being
00:56:31.600 shipped. Why aren't they being shipped? Nobody can tell me. It's the only book that was in that
00:56:36.180 ranking. So they do things that that's what happened that, that are insidious and affects
00:56:42.600 all of us. And we've got to speak up against it. I think we're winning though. I really do. I think
00:56:46.940 of the midterms for all the problems in the Republican party. I don't think it's going to go
00:56:52.140 back to Mitt Romney and John McCain and the bushes. I really don't. I don't think people can,
00:56:56.700 can run on a platform of, you know, no, let's write off the interior of the country or, you know,
00:57:03.040 as Jeb said, illegal immigration is an act of love. I think that's gone for good.
00:57:08.520 It'll never come back. And they know that. And so the candidates at least,
00:57:13.180 will at least mouth a new agenda that reflects the interest of working people.
00:57:17.780 So I'm confident. I grew up in a democratic conservative household that did not like Republicans
00:57:23.540 because they thought they were all elitist. And that was maybe pernicious to stereotype people,
00:57:28.820 but the Republican movement or the conservative movement is becoming more nationalist and populist
00:57:34.200 and broad based and inclusive. I never thought I used that word inclusive, but here in the San
00:57:39.800 Joaquin Valley, I just meet so many Mexican American middle-class people and they are sick
00:57:44.740 of the left wing talk down elitist coastal party. They should, it should be. I mean,
00:57:49.640 everybody should be at this point. 67% of Hispanics are saying the border policy is a disaster.
00:57:56.080 It is. And you ask them why, because I want them to tell me, and all my friends are Mexican
00:58:01.360 American here. I'm speaking in Fresno County. And they say, Victor, I don't want people crowding
00:58:06.420 the dialysis clinic for my grandmother when I pay taxes and these people walk across the border
00:58:11.680 and they don't. Or why do we have to be vaccinated? And we, you know, we do. And then these people
00:58:19.100 are not asked to be vaccinated. Is it better to be an illegal resident or alien than it is a citizen?
00:58:24.440 And they don't know. And they said, no, nobody tells us. And I said, nobody tells you because
00:58:28.640 your fealty has been to the left and they take you for granted. All right. So I think that the
00:58:33.420 Democrats are very worried about it. Let me take a one minute break back with Victor Davis Hanson.
00:58:38.460 The name of his book is The Dying Citizen. Buy it, even though it's, quote, out of stock.
00:58:46.160 Buy it anyway, because all of that should build up and he should be at number one for at least the
00:58:51.920 week when it comes back in stock and they can ship. We'll continue here in one minute. First,
00:58:58.420 people who don't live with mild to severe frequent pain don't understand the extent of what pain can do.
00:59:04.300 It can rule your life. Pain like that puts you in a place where you're susceptible for the feelings of
00:59:10.760 depression and hopelessness and even worthlessness. It demands. I mean, it takes away your quality of
00:59:19.080 life. There is nothing in my life that has been more.
00:59:22.500 I don't know, just harder for me to take as a, as a, as a man than having my wife have to get up in
00:59:36.220 the morning because my hands were too, too, I had too much pain. She had to button my shirts
00:59:42.300 and tie my shoes and it was horrible. Live that way for a while and I found Relief Factor. It's
00:59:51.760 worked for me. Please try it. Try the three-week quick start trial pack for $19.95. Three-week

01:00:21.200 Victor Davis Hanson, senior fellow at the Hoover Institute and also the author of the book that
01:00:26.700 you should buy, The Dying Citizen. He has actual things in it that we all should be doing to be
01:00:34.820 able to save our nation. We were talking about revolution and, you know, I really don't like
01:00:40.680 this talk. People are like, we should secede. I mean, Texas has been, I lived here in 1980,
01:00:46.140 what, 1985 and they were talking about seceding. So it doesn't, it doesn't matter. Texas is always
01:00:52.560 on that boat. But I don't like that because I don't want to secede. I just, we're the ones that
01:00:59.400 like the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights. They don't. So I mean, I'm not in
01:01:05.880 revolution. They are. I think that's right, Glenn. I'm speaking from a house on my farm that I'm the
01:01:12.360 sixth generation to live here. And I don't, when I think of my wonderful parents and grandparents and
01:01:17.880 what they told me about their parents and grandparents, my great, great, why should I leave
01:01:23.120 just because the state's gone insane? And here there's a lot of good people in California. In
01:01:27.980 fact, I've discovered over my lifetime that the most conservative traditional people in the United
01:01:32.920 States live in the conservative red areas of California. They're wonderful people. Why should
01:01:37.840 they have to leave just because a coastal culture has hijacked the state that used to elect Ronald Reagan
01:01:44.060 or George Dugmation or Pete Wilson? And I know how it happened. They opened the border and they
01:01:49.220 changed the demography. And then they got $5 trillion in market capitalization in Silicon Valley
01:01:55.240 and poured money. And then the middle class got disgusted and said, why pay these high taxes and
01:02:00.520 get such terrible education? And I'm leaving to Idaho or Nevada. But I don't think that's the right
01:02:05.320 strategy. I think we need to fight and take back these states because I don't think these people are in
01:02:10.900 the majority. I think they're just, it's an illusion because they have so much money and they have,
01:02:17.700 it's sort of like the Jacobins and the French Revolution or the Bolsheviks. They were never
01:02:21.760 them. They were never the majority. And the Jacobins failed because people stood up to them. But the
01:02:26.700 Bolsheviks won because they intimidated everybody. And then when they took power, everybody said, wow,
01:02:31.980 they're just, they were just a minority of opinion. So how do they do it? So let me go here. We've got
01:02:37.240 less than two minutes now for, for an answer, but, um, you know, I've studied revolutions for the last 20
01:02:43.080 years. They have, they now you could claim that they had the military. They've eviscerated, uh, the
01:02:51.240 police. They have the media, they have the banks, uh, they have the judges. They, I mean, they really
01:02:58.840 have absolutely everything that you need for a revolution. So what do we have?
01:03:05.120 But we have, uh, we have almost everybody from Colonel down in the military and all the polls
01:03:12.400 show it. This, this woke Pentagon thing is one, two, three, four star among careerists people who
01:03:18.640 want to revolve into the corporate boardroom when they retire and don't want to offend their corporate
01:03:22.600 people. We have the people who buy products. We have the people have the checking accounts. We have
01:03:28.020 the people that take the mortgages out. And we didn't really know that we didn't know how much power
01:03:33.180 that exercises. So when the American airlines or Delta says, you know what, you guys have to learn
01:03:40.080 that an ID is racist. And these new voting laws in Georgia and Texas, and the people said, well, then
01:03:45.260 why do we have to have an ID to get on your plane? And why can't you get your call waiting down from
01:03:50.740 seven hours on the helpline? Or why does your plane have no fuel? And then guess what? They started
01:03:56.360 to shut up. And that was just an inkling that these people are actually quite cowardly. Glenn, they,
01:04:02.780 they, they, they bully people. But when people push back, they think, wow, there's more of
01:04:07.760 them than there are of us. And they don't listen to our money and our title and our letters after
01:04:11.900 our name. So I think it's a, I think there's hope.

01:06:05.200 an airline pilot, uh, talking about why he's standing against the vaccine mandate.
01:06:12.600 I've been an airline pilot for 18 years and now I'm facing an ultimatum, not a choice,
01:06:17.800 but an ultimatum. I'm being told in order to continue my career as an airline pilot,
01:06:22.000 I must be vaccinated, which really means I have to choose between putting food on the table for my
01:06:26.900 family and my freedom of choice. Whether you believe in vaccination is the right thing to do
01:06:31.680 or not, the situation goes far beyond health. We, the American people have fought for freedom for
01:06:36.760 257 years. We go around the world, spreading ideas of freedom and democracy. We help other countries
01:06:44.000 and people fight for their freedoms while ours are being stripped away. You may think being forced
01:06:50.320 to wear a mask or get a vaccination is insignificant, but when you begin to compile mandate after mandate
01:06:58.080 and loss of freedom after freedom, it becomes very significant. As each thing is taken away,
01:07:04.820 we face what is known as the shifting baseline syndrome. This syndrome changes our idea of a new
01:07:11.400 and acceptable normal. Soon we will not remember what it was like to have the freedoms we once did.
01:07:18.200 Our children and our grandchildren will experience less freedom and they won't have the privilege
01:07:23.700 or the pleasure to enjoy the same choices our parents had or that we have. If we give into
01:07:31.100 these mandates and we do not stand up for our freedom of choice, we dishonor every armed service
01:07:36.880 person over the last 257 years. A disservice to the people who have fought and bled for the very
01:07:44.180 freedoms we enjoy. Whether you believe in vaccination or not, I'm standing up for your freedom of choice.
01:07:50.680 You may support the vaccine mandates because they fall in line with your current beliefs,
01:07:55.560 but if we let this happen now, there will be a day when what you're told to do will not fall in line
01:08:02.400 with your beliefs. If we do not stand together and fight back in one voice, soon we could be told
01:08:09.320 where to live, what job we will do, what religion to believe, and how many children we can have.
01:08:15.500 Do you really want someone telling your children or your grandchildren what, when, and how they will
01:08:22.660 live every minute of their lives? It's time we take a stance. It's time we fight for our freedom of
01:08:28.580 choice while we still can. I agree. And it might sound crazy to people who are, you know, not really
01:08:40.420 paying attention or the mask mandate falls in line with their thinking, but it is true. All of the
01:08:48.040 people that are with the mask mandate now, most of them, are the same ones that told us about
01:08:55.300 that rationing would never happen, that death panels wouldn't happen, that, you know,
01:09:05.460 they're never going to raise the price of your insurance or make you a pariah if you didn't fall
01:09:16.320 into line. These are all things that we said, these are logical outcomes. If you are providing
01:09:23.580 health care and you're the federal government, they have a right to tell you how much to eat.
01:09:30.100 I told you there would come a time that you would be wearing a watch or something that would monitor
01:09:35.760 to be able to see, are you exercising? Are you eating right? How many calories are you having?
01:09:42.260 Well, we're here now. You have that. And they just haven't implemented it. But that is what's
01:09:48.820 happening. You say vaccine mandate. Well, why would we mandate vaccine? And I'm being serious. Why would
01:09:55.020 we mandate vaccines for everybody when we know the biggest comorbidity factor is obesity? You should
01:10:04.180 have to lose weight. If you don't, you're costing us too much money. If you don't do these things,
01:10:09.760 then you don't get anything. They have you under control. And the worst thing that can happen with
01:10:17.300 this type of development is if it happens gradually. Yes, because if it the American people would be
01:10:23.920 shocked to deal with the situation you're talking about, but when it happens slowly, like it is,
01:10:29.860 it becomes, but is it, I mean, yes, it is on the, on the healthcare stance, but look at what's
01:10:35.980 happening to the airlines. And I want you to understand this. What, what is build back better?
01:10:42.480 What is it? The most uncomfortably awkward thing to say in the U S history is the slogan for the great
01:10:49.920 reset. When your computer is, is locked and none of the apps work. What do you do? You unplug it and
01:10:58.800 plug it back in or turn it off and turn it back on. Right. And it goes back to the original factory
01:11:04.260 settings. Okay. This great reset, it will be the same thing. Your airlines won't be working. You won't
01:11:11.860 be able to travel. People are going to lose their jobs. Inflation will be out of control. The police
01:11:19.780 system and the justice system won't be working. And somebody will say, this just doesn't work
01:11:25.760 anymore. Yes, that is the plan. And they have the new system to drop it into. What you will mean
01:11:36.720 is we've got to go back to normal. But as this airline pilot just said, you won't even remember
01:11:44.080 normal. You won't remember normal. That's true. We have already have a giant amount of our healthcare
01:11:53.020 that goes through the government. I mean, I think it would be an incredible wake up call
01:11:57.840 for people. If the government started just doing these things and they said, you know what? You have
01:12:02.460 to be less than 1800 calories a day to get this healthcare. And people would have a choice between
01:12:09.200 private healthcare and the government healthcare where they did monitor what you did. And they
01:12:13.780 did monitor your weight. And they did harass you about the things you eat. And we talk all these
01:12:17.620 things as if they're nightmares. Maybe they'd be great warnings to people to get off of government
01:12:22.520 healthcare. Correct. And stop encouraging and voting for people who want it. Do you know why Southwest
01:12:27.500 is not giving in to the employees while they're, you know, the, the unions are pushing back?
01:12:35.580 You have their employees that are definitely not walking out. That's no, this was just weather
01:12:42.440 patterns, even though there was no weather issue all went all weekend. They had what? 10 times
01:12:47.780 the cancellations of every other airline. Right. Uh, they, um, uh, they are, they're doing
01:12:54.120 this because they've already taken money from the government. They are a government contractor.
01:13:01.100 They get 2% of their money in government contracts. So when you're a government contractor, you
01:13:09.480 have no choice unless you drop the government con contract. Well, they don't want to drop that
01:13:16.420 2%. Um, also, in addition to that, are they going to bail us out? If we go under the FAA
01:13:23.360 is, I mean, is, I mean, could so easily become Gestapo, uh, for any airline, the FAA can just
01:13:31.880 destroy you as an airline. If it's weaponized, you don't think they'll weaponize the FAA.
01:13:39.300 They are. You have to wear masks on planes, right? You notice that you walk into, depending
01:13:43.720 on which state you're in, of course, but most places you walk into, you don't have to wear
01:13:46.900 masks anymore. There's, you know, it's changed quite a bit from the past over just over the
01:13:51.280 past six months. But there is no place where it's stricter than on an airplane. Now we have
01:13:57.480 high level filtration there. There's no reason for an airplane to be a place that would, would
01:14:03.880 pass COVID in any large amounts. We have no record of that. We have no information that
01:14:08.120 supports that. Uh, but they're crazy on planes with you and your mask, because that's one
01:14:13.700 of the things they can control. Joe Biden can basically just say, I want it. And that's
01:14:19.420 why you don't want things under the government's control like this. Correct. This is why we need
01:14:24.340 to minimize these things, not maximize them. We're going the opposite direction. We should
01:14:28.420 be. So I, I encourage these airlines and these employees to walk out, walk out. I encourage
01:14:35.440 you as a, uh, as a, uh, uh, teacher get out of the union right now. I don't think that it's
01:14:43.980 any difference with the teachers union as it is with the unions, uh, for the, um, uh, for
01:14:50.760 the airlines or any other union. If your union has been part of the problem and they are in
01:14:56.500 with the federal government, get out of that union right now. You have to start showing them
01:15:02.120 pain. And yes, you do have to start taking a risk. But if you won't take a risk for your
01:15:09.200 children and children's children, we're going to lose and all of our children will lose.
01:15:19.920 We all are at risk today. Our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor. We want freedom for
01:15:29.820 our children and they are boiling us slowly. Amtrak I hear is next, uh, which I mean, wouldn't
01:15:41.200 that be great? Wouldn't that be great if Amtrak, by the way, the shortages are coming. Retailers
01:15:49.240 are now saying, uh, good luck getting a Christmas tree, a Christmas tree in America, a Christmas
01:15:57.480 tree. Oil prices continue to surge today. Seven year record. This is the highest, uh, oil has
01:16:07.040 been since Halloween, 2014, two years, two years before Donald Trump. This is the highest gas has
01:16:18.500 been. I'm telling you, California is probably at $5 a gallon. The rest of the country will be at
01:16:26.340 $5, $6, $7, $8 a gallon. All of these things, uh, all of these things are coming and they are
01:16:34.500 intentional. They are intentional. All of the things that they're doing now just couldn't be done.
01:16:43.120 Just truly could not be done, uh, in, in happenstance. All of these things that are happening
01:16:52.880 are happening because it is planned. This isn't Joe Biden just being out of control.
01:17:01.740 This is a takeover, a hostile takeover, a revolution from the inside out, from the top down.
01:17:11.440 I'll show you. I'll give you an example next. All right. I, I want you to, um, I want you to get a set
01:17:23.240 of books. Set of books is for the Tuttle Twins, the Tuttle Twins books. I mean, it took me a long
01:17:31.200 time before I read Road to Serfdom. And once I read Road to Serfdom, I got it. I'm like, oh my gosh.
01:17:38.420 And you realize that this was written right after World War II and they were warning, don't do it.
01:17:44.800 Don't do it. Don't go down this road. We're well down that road. Now it's going to be, I mean,
01:17:50.940 it took me until I was in my thirties to read Road to Serfdom. How about if you have a book that could
01:17:57.760 teach this to your children and quite honestly, you, uh, I mean, because most of us haven't read
01:18:04.240 some of these things. If you could get that book in a children's book to be able to read it to your
01:18:11.020 kids. I know, I know it sounds like, oh, I want to read, you know, a good night moon. Well, not really
01:18:19.020 the time to read good night moon time to make sure that our kids understand what's going on.

01:19:02.100 This is the Glenn Beck program. If you don't believe me that, um, you know, this isn't,
01:19:08.820 this isn't planned. Let me just, let me just go over who's in this administration.
01:19:13.200 We have Kamala Harris. She's the, uh, she's the one that has been put in charge of the border.
01:19:19.520 She's going to go find the root causes doing a great job. Uh, yeah, there's, there's,
01:19:23.960 there's nothing. She's not even making public appearances, uh, now. Um, then you have Anthony
01:19:29.740 Blinken, his appearance before the Senate made it clear. He has no answers for what happened in
01:19:35.420 Afghanistan. He said they had no idea the Taliban would advance. So this is so fast. He had no real
01:19:40.780 plan to get Americans out. 13 U S service members died. Um, there are at least a hundred Americans
01:19:47.920 left behind enemy lines, thousands of green card holders. Uh, but he has abandoned them. Then he
01:19:55.120 managed to anger France by announcing a nuclear submarine deal with Australia with little notice
01:20:00.680 that Biden had no idea even what's happening. Yeah. Right. Crazy. Uh, then you have Janet Yellen
01:20:05.860 during her confirmation. She promised she would be a voice for fiscal sanity.
01:20:10.260 Uh, she's going to bat right now for the 3.5 trillion and probably much more spending plan
01:20:18.760 after trillions of stimulus. She now seems to think that despite, you know, what you're paying
01:20:25.020 at the grocery store, interest rates won't rise and neither will inflation, uh, are increasing
01:20:31.460 astronomical 23 trillion in national debt. Won't be a drag. Then you have Lloyd Austin. Besides what
01:20:40.020 happened in Afghanistan, he knows now that the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, general
01:20:44.960 Mark Milley secretly went behind trip president Trump's back to assure the Chinese, he would tip
01:20:50.220 them off. He has yet to take any actions for that. Merrick Garland bowing to the teachers union
01:20:56.460 school boards who call parents upset over critical race theory and mask mandates, domestic terrorists.
01:21:01.900 He got the FBI involved. We found out late last week that his son in law and his daughter
01:21:08.080 are making millions, millions off of, uh, the school boards. And even if it was this huge
01:21:15.020 problem with the school boards, what jurisdiction does the FBI have over local school boards?
01:21:19.740 There's nothing to do with nothing to do with secretary of interior. Uh, they moved, uh, the Bureau of land
01:21:25.740 management to Colorado under Trump, but nobody wants to live in, uh, the Western States from
01:21:32.340 Washington. So they moved it back and they, uh, put Dev, uh, Holland in charge. And she of course was
01:21:39.800 involved in tree spiking. She's in charge of our public grazing lands. Tom Villisak, secretary of
01:21:46.280 agriculture. He has been pushing for capital gains tax would, which would make it almost impossible for
01:21:52.900 children to inherit farms from their, uh, uh, from their parents. He's putting all kinds of regulation on
01:22:00.200 farmers. The secretary of Congress, uh, I'm sorry, of commerce, uh, said people need corporations need
01:22:07.720 to be taxed more in order to compete globally. Secretary of labor. Uh, he said, I don't think the
01:22:16.200 jobless numbers are as bad as everyone is reporting. I don't know. Check the numbers. Can you do basic
01:22:21.720 math? The health and human services director, he's in charge of COVID response. He doesn't even go to the
01:22:28.920 meetings. He doesn't even go to the meetings and we haven't even gotten to Pete Buttigieg and the
01:22:36.120 secretary of housing and urban development. This is the Glenn Beck program. So I know it might sound
01:22:44.520 fun, uh, to live like you saw those wonderful people, uh, living under a bridge. Uh, uh, and that
01:22:52.760 was, uh, that was a fun thing to watch on our border over the past few months. You might get some
01:22:57.240 wonderful recipes out of that, maybe some new friends, but honestly, you probably want to stay
01:23:02.440 in your home and you probably want to stay in your bed and you probably want to live, uh, in your,
01:23:07.080 uh, you know, your domain. It's yours and you can use your own bathroom. You can use your own kitchen.
01:23:13.120 That's a little bit better. Stay in your home. The threat of cyber thieves now stealing your credit
01:23:18.760 cards is a risk for sure, but now we're near your biggest risk. It's talking about, they're talking
01:23:23.560 about taking over your home now and they're doing it all over the country. You got to stop this before
01:23:28.360 it starts with home title lock. Home title lock is, uh, taking care of one of the fastest growing
01:23:33.640 crimes in America, home title fraud. You can register your address now and see if you're already a victim

01:23:53.560 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn
01:24:23.480 Beck program. Hello America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We are so glad to, uh, hear from you
01:24:34.120 today and, and be able to gather together. We have some news on Afghanistan, some, some good news,
01:24:40.840 uh, uh, that we shared on Saturday night. I'd like to share some of it
01:24:45.640 with you in 60 seconds. Stand by.
01:24:51.400 The Glenn Beck program. You know, I know I don't look a day over
01:24:56.280 85, but I'm, I'm actually in my fifties. And when you get into your fifties, they immediately start
01:25:03.800 sending you stuff. Hey, senior, maybe it's time for you to go to the early bird special. And you're like,
01:25:11.240 wait a minute. No, I don't. I don't think I want to eat at three o'clock in the afternoon,
01:25:16.600 but if I do, then I could also go home and have dinner at seven. Uh huh. Anyway. Um, I,
01:25:24.520 I joined a group, uh, called a Mac and I joined it. I mean, you can get, you can join for a lot of
01:25:31.080 reasons. You enjoy it for the benefits. They're really, really good. They have insurance discounts,
01:25:35.480 travel benefits, all of the things that you would get from a seniors group. But I joined for the
01:25:42.360 advocacy because I know these people, they provide everything you're looking for, but they go above
01:25:47.560 and beyond and provide a whole lot more in advocacy for you in Washington, because your freedom is
01:25:53.960 important. A Mac members played a significant role in stopping the passage of house resolution one.
01:25:59.800 That was the, uh, Pelosi federal takeover of all the election, uh, legislation. They're doing the
01:26:06.920 same to stop Senate passage of house resolution for another really horrible bill. These people are
01:26:12.840 on, uh, Capitol Hill and they involve you. If you don't know how to help, they will help you help
01:26:20.840 a Mac join them for the advocacy, the benefits and the information most importantly joined because
01:26:27.340 America needs every hand on deck. Now, a Mac, a M a C dot U S slash back. That's a M a C dot U S slash back.
01:26:42.940 So did you see the, um, the guy who was the interpreter for Joe Biden is now out of Afghanistan?
01:26:52.060 Yeah, I noticed that. I noticed that story for a couple of reasons. First of all,
01:26:56.860 big news. Cause we talked about this when it was going on that the, the, the guy who was an
01:27:02.860 interpreter in Afghanistan who helped Joe Biden as a Senator survive a, a nasty bout with a blizzard.
01:27:11.340 He was stuck in Afghanistan and complaining about it pretty, uh, in a big way. Uh, and I, so I noticed
01:27:18.620 it because I wanted to get an update on that story. What happened to this guy? And apparently he did
01:27:22.380 finally get out of the country. Um, and then I was, as I was reading the article,
01:27:27.660 I happened to see your name in it a bunch of times, which was a very strange moment. I will say very
01:27:34.140 strange moment. Yes. Uh, apparently, uh, Mercury one and the, or Nazarene fund had a lot to do with,
01:27:41.740 with his, uh, safety, his safety. So can you break it down? Cause it was, it was, it was a little
01:27:47.660 confusing the way the story was written. So here's what, here's what happened when we found out this
01:27:51.740 guy was, uh, you know, being left behind, we thought it was, you know, obviously an, an outrage
01:28:00.300 thought it was pretty bad. Uh, and so we moved him, uh, from, I think he was in Kabul and we moved him
01:28:11.180 several hours and got him to a safe house, uh, for him and his family. Um, and that move was
01:28:18.540 a lot of money to move him there. Sure. Uh, and it was like $900 a night to move them. Cause he was a
01:28:25.660 high value target. Um, and, uh, they, they moved him and moved him and moved him and nothing was,
01:28:34.460 was working. Um, then, uh, the people that he was working with, uh, said, we got to get him out on
01:28:46.160 one of our planes. And we tried and we, we kept him, uh, at risk. Uh, I mean, at, uh, safe houses
01:28:54.120 away from risk almost for four or five weeks. I mean, I, you knew Stu that we were getting him out.
01:29:03.100 I told you, uh, I knew a little, I didn't know the details, but yeah, I knew a little bit about
01:29:07.600 that at least possible. Yeah. And the trouble was no one in his family had any identification,
01:29:13.920 but that's not unusual in Afghanistan. In Afghanistan, they don't have birth certificates.
01:29:21.420 So, you know, record keeping not really been their priority the past couple of decades. Right. And so,
01:29:25.860 you know, and they don't have passports. They're not necessarily going everywhere. Um, and, uh,
01:29:31.400 and he didn't want to leave without his family. Obviously not. Obviously not. Um, and so he was
01:29:36.780 in for five or six weeks in hiding and we would take him out. There was, uh, a week just, I think
01:29:42.500 it was last week where we took him and his family out, got him on planes and then weather cancellation.
01:29:49.900 And, and he had to go to another safe house cause you can only use these safe houses once.
01:29:54.640 And then the next day we'd get him out and we'd bring him in cause it looks like we're about to
01:29:59.300 take off. So we'd get him in, got him on the plane, a weather delay. And it happened like
01:30:05.040 three or four times where we got him onto the plane. Um, and he was just getting really spooked
01:30:12.760 and very, very frustrated. And as you can imagine, uh, you know, you're going to the airport over and
01:30:19.880 over again. And then he just disappeared. He ghost us. Uh, we couldn't get him. Uh, he left the safe
01:30:26.440 house. Scary too. You don't know what happened to these guys. We thought maybe there was a chance
01:30:30.000 that he had been kidnapped and killed and, uh, uh, we couldn't get ahold of him. Uh, and we found
01:30:37.460 out later that he was, um, uh, he made it to the Pakistani border and some people there helped him
01:30:46.220 get across the border. So great. So, so he's out and safe. Yeah. So the guy who helped the president
01:30:53.560 and a couple of other senators back in, uh, I think it was 2000, was it 2007? Something like
01:30:59.580 that. That interpreter who president Biden didn't, was not able to get out of the country.
01:31:08.080 You along with another group were able to actually get him to safety and then get him across the
01:31:13.720 border. Yeah. We didn't get him across the border. That was another group. But we, we kept him safe for
01:31:20.720 about four or five weeks. It's amazing. And you mentioned this at the, the big Mercury one
01:31:25.060 10th anniversary event this, this past weekend, how many other organizations you've worked with
01:31:30.160 through this? I mean, it is hard, you know, like, I mean, I think in the article that I read in the
01:31:34.600 New York times, they just say Glenn Beck's group over and over again. I mean, they're not even naming
01:31:39.660 the group. Yeah. I think they're the time. Cause I think they're trying to maybe discredit it or
01:31:45.000 something, I guess. I mean, why would you call the Nazarene fund Glenn Beck's team? It's the Nazarene
01:31:51.180 fund. It's certainly not intended to glorify the effort. No, no. They don't use your name in that
01:31:56.640 way. Yeah. It's really not. But it is important. There's so many other groups as well that you've
01:32:01.120 worked with and some directly, some indirectly. Uh, and, uh, look, I mean, thousands of people,
01:32:08.360 you mentioned this at the event, thousands have been rescued. All of the, all of the details.
01:32:14.240 I can't say all of the details. Um, many of the numbers were released, uh, on Saturday night at the
01:32:20.580 Mercury one, um, event. And I believe the number they don't have it in front of me, but I believe
01:32:26.260 the number was 6,700, uh, have been, uh, taken out almost every single Christian that we had on our
01:32:35.120 list, including the underground churches and the underground pastors are out now.
01:32:41.000 So what we set out to accomplish, uh, to save the Christians and to save the underground church
01:32:47.040 has now been accomplished. Also including, um, in, I don't know if this is an addition to that
01:32:52.300 number. It was, you know, I know it's difficult to disclose all of it, but, uh, American citizens,
01:32:57.540 a lot of American citizens. Yeah. Over, I think over a thousand American citizens,
01:33:04.120 American citizens, um, green card holders. And for those who, you know, cause we hear green card
01:33:08.340 holders a lot of times talked about in the immigration debate. And so people might not
01:33:12.880 know, but these are permanent U S residents. And basically they're, they're like citizens,
01:33:18.680 except they don't vote. Right. But they're permanent U S residents. These are not people
01:33:22.440 who are like, Oh, well, they're illegal immigrants. These are permanent U S residents. Thousands of,
01:33:27.200 of them are still left there. But I know there've been a bunch that have been rescued by
01:33:32.460 Mercury one as well. Uh, excuse me in the Nazarene fund. Uh, and then in addition to that,
01:33:38.180 you have the S IVs, a special immigrant visas. Uh, you have, uh, religious minorities, uh, and
01:33:45.260 we've taken in Christians and everything else. I mean, it's been an incredible effort.
01:33:48.980 We've taken U S troops out. We have taken U S troops out. It's remarkable. When you hear the full
01:33:57.280 story, it's, it's remarkable. I wanted to, uh, let you know, uh, and we began to release this stuff
01:34:03.940 on Friday. Uh, there were 19 flights as of Friday. Um, in the afternoon, there were 19 flights that we had
01:34:16.400 taken off. There are about 350, uh, per flight. Uh, and by the time I made it to stage, there had
01:34:26.420 been, I believe three more flights. Isn't that what Rudy said? Two or three more flights. It was,
01:34:31.640 it was between 900 and 1200 people had gotten out just on Saturday, uh, in between the time that we
01:34:38.860 were, uh, talking about, you know, the speech and me giving the speech at eight o'clock at night.
01:34:45.080 Um, so things are continuing. Um, we are not done by any stretch of the imagination, but it is,
01:34:53.360 it's quite exhilarating next week. I have an interview with, uh, some amazing, amazing people
01:35:02.020 to two girls that helped 200 people escape. Now they, they needed to get out as well. They were,
01:35:12.460 um, uh, big targets, really big targets. And, uh, they helped about 200 people escape and we finally
01:35:23.980 got them, uh, out. It's a remarkable story. They have nothing. They came to America. They actually
01:35:31.760 were flown here to America and they have absolutely nothing. I mean, one of the guys had to take them
01:35:38.380 to a CVS that night just to get toiletries and then the next day shopping. Um, but, um, they,
01:35:46.380 the reason why they came here is because they have, uh, you know, they could go to school here and the
01:35:54.180 Taliban, they were encouraging all these girls to go into school and they were helping all these
01:35:59.340 girls to get into school. And, uh, the biggest, the biggest, um, let's go Brandon to the Taliban
01:36:08.940 would be, uh, to see that they go to school here and they have absolute, literally, absolutely
01:36:16.300 nothing. And, uh, let me see if I can find this. We're setting up a fund for them. So maybe this
01:36:23.280 audience would be willing to send them to school. You've already given so much. It it's,
01:36:29.500 it's just remarkable what you've done. Um, but we want to make sure that if, if you are up to it,
01:36:37.840 if you feel like you can, uh, give, uh, we have a, uh, a fund that we want you to give to. And I'll
01:36:44.420 give you that information here in a second. First, let me take a one minute break. Life lock October
01:36:50.420 is cyber security awareness month. I've already got my tree up. How about you? This year's theme
01:36:55.440 is do your part be cyber smart. Oh my gosh. Is that really, is that really the theme that
01:37:02.800 had to come from build back? Better people had to have anyway, getting cyber smarts starts
01:37:08.320 with what is known as cyber hygiene, which is just the basic habits that can help keep
01:37:14.720 you and your family protected from identity theft and scams and other online dangers. Things
01:37:19.760 like using strong passwords, setting up a multi-factor authentication on your accounts.
01:37:25.660 And of course, regularly updating software on your devices. It is important to understand how
01:37:30.820 cyber crime and identity theft are affecting our lives. And every day we put our information
01:37:35.420 at risk on the internet. Life lock helps detect a wide range of identity threats and they'll send
01:37:40.960 you an alert. Plus you have access to a dedicated restoration specialist. If you become a victim,

01:38:18.980 So, uh, it's truly amazing to, um, be a part of, of all of these, um,
01:38:47.840 just amazing times. We really are living history and it's remarkable to be able to stand and be able
01:39:01.260 to speak and be able to turn things around and not buy into all of the lies that you can't,
01:39:07.120 you can't, you can't. Yeah. Because you can difference. I mean, you think about this where
01:39:10.880 the federal government and our, our administration just left all these people, uh, there and you'd
01:39:20.440 think with a, something that big, there's nothing that we could do. I mean, if we can come together
01:39:25.780 and help fund the rescue of thousands and thousands of people in a war zone under Taliban rule,
01:39:32.820 certainly our school boards are obtainable, right? Certainly the goal of making sure our kids don't
01:39:41.480 have to be learning CRT in their schools. Certainly that's a goal. That's not too far
01:39:49.780 of a reach. Is it? I mean, that seems doable. So here's the thing. Um, asthma is her name
01:39:58.200 and we'd like to send her, um, we'd like to send her to a school. She was going to study,
01:40:06.440 um, finance that involves artificial intelligence. And there's only a handful of schools that teach
01:40:13.700 that. And they're not cheap. Georgia tech, 53,000 to MIT, Stanford, Carnegie Mellon, Harvard.
01:40:19.300 Those are all around 75,000. Um, we would like to send her to, to school, uh, as a, as a, a final
01:40:30.580 gesture to the Taliban. She was rescued, um, during the Taliban takeover and, um, we need to raise
01:40:40.540 enough money for her laptops, you know, her living expenses. Uh, and we want to help her with more
01:40:48.160 than just tuition. Uh, she is a remarkable, a remarkable woman and we're going to introduce
01:40:54.960 her to you, uh, next Wednesday, but, uh, I'm talking to her today and I would love to be able
01:41:01.920 to surprise her, uh, and say, by the way, we're going to cover your college tuition. Um, you can go
01:41:09.760 find out more about the asthma scholarship fund and donate. Just go to mercury one.org and look for
01:41:18.080 the asthma scholarship fund should be right on the front page and you can donate their asthma
01:41:22.640 scholarship fund. You know, one of the guys that was, was there, um, on Saturday night and wasn't
01:41:29.280 introduced was the only Christian that was allowed into the country from Syria during the Obama
01:41:36.680 administration. One, one, one. We got him in. He was going to school for, um, to be a pastor,
01:41:48.080 pastor. And, um, he wanted to go back and, and be a pastor in his, in his area. And he had already
01:41:58.080 been accepted at Harvard and that was the loophole that allowed us to get him in. And we helped him
01:42:06.160 every step of the way. He now works for the Nazarene fund and mercury one. He's an amazing,
01:42:13.040 amazing guy, but he was the only Christian that was allowed in, in the eight years of Obama.
01:42:19.640 I was told that he was really friendly to people in need across the world and that Donald Trump was
01:42:24.700 restricting. Yeah, no, no, no, no, not, not true. That's not, yeah, no. Well, he did get the one in
01:42:30.040 though. He got that one. He only had eight years. How many was he supposed to get in? Two? Yeah, I know.
01:42:35.340 I know. Three? Yeah, I know. That would be incredible. You can't get three people in in eight
01:42:40.960 years. That's insane. So as we talked about on Saturday night, the other problem that we have
01:42:46.920 now is we have all of these people. We have about 10,000 people that are in countries that we promised
01:42:53.600 we would not leave them in those countries. And we are really working hard to get them to other
01:43:00.060 countries. But it's been tough for, oh, I don't know, a myriad of reasons. And so we would sure
01:43:08.060 appreciate your prayers. But about half of the funds that we have now are because a really expensive
01:43:13.960 part starts now, flying them overseas or whatever, and then having to do the aftercare. We don't just
01:43:23.640 dump people off into cities. We provide all the aftercare. We make sure that they are, you know,
01:43:30.060 getting food and shelter. And we make sure that their church unit can stay together and they have
01:43:37.860 somebody to shepherd them and they can get jobs and learn how to speak the language. You know, we do
01:43:44.360 more than just get people out. And so I just want to let you know, there will be a full audit of
01:43:51.200 everything. We do that every year anyway. And we'll make sure that you know exactly where everything was
01:43:57.740 spent and how it was spent. Because you have raised an awful lot of money. And I want to be
01:44:03.200 really, really clear. So you know, how we're using the money. Somebody said, you're spending all this
01:44:09.960 money on the airplanes. Yeah. And, and, you know, those are expensive. Yeah, they are. 737 charters are
01:44:21.780 pretty expensive. But so you know, the guy who's, who's really running this operation, a lot of these
01:44:28.760 people, if they can get the planes, you know, are paying about double what we are paying. We, we've,
01:44:34.580 we negotiated down to $200,000 a flight, uh, which is at least half. Uh, and we can't thank Cam Air
01:44:43.680 enough. That's the, the, um, Afghani airline for working so hard and helping us. Now we have to go
01:44:52.840 to Western based carriers because Cam Airlines not allowed to fly outside, uh, into Western countries
01:45:01.280 for obvious reasons. Uh, so now we look to Western carriers and gosh, I wonder if we're going to get
01:45:07.520 that same kind of help from Western carriers. I'm sure we are. We'll let you know when we hear from
01:45:18.420 them back in just a second. This is the Glenn Beck program. Today's news is unfortunately a cautionary
01:45:33.020 tale. Um, Catholic university just concluded a study indicating that 75% of Venezuelans are living
01:45:40.980 now in extreme poverty. That's 75%. 95% of the country lives in general poverty, 75% of extreme.
01:45:50.340 We we've never experienced anything like that. This is what happens when you hyperinflate a currency,
01:45:57.680 when you take over the oil companies and you take over all of the businesses and the media and
01:46:03.540 everything else. This is what is happening here in America right now. Venezuela was not just one of
01:46:10.980 the wealthiest countries in Central America. It was the richest and it started to fall into the wrong
01:46:17.080 hands about 20 years ago. And lo and behold, here they are. Well, lo and behold, here we are.
01:46:24.120 There's a lot of parallels. Please, uh, protect your portfolio from the excessive printing of our
01:46:31.100 U.S. dollar by acquiring gold or silver. Find out if it's right for you and do it right now.

01:46:42.560 Head over to blazetv.com slash Glenn. The promo code is Glenn for 10 bucks off your subscription to
01:46:48.440 Blaze TV. Next. Gruden and Wicklot. Next.
01:46:54.120 I don't care. I don't care if they look at all my emails or they're spying on me. I don't have
01:47:04.620 anything to worry about. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. There's nothing that you've ever written in an email. There's
01:47:12.680 nothing you've ever written or sent to somebody, uh, that was something that you wouldn't want to see
01:47:19.740 in the, on the cover of the New York Times. Uh, John Gruden, uh, would probably fall into that
01:47:27.040 category, uh, this weekend. He probably does care. Maybe all of what you put on the internet is never
01:47:35.040 gone. Uh, John Gruden, uh, I'm, I'm anxious to talk to Jason Whitlock. Uh, his show Fearless,
01:47:44.700 you can find on YouTube. If you haven't subscribed to, uh, Jason's YouTube channel yet, you need to.
01:47:51.280 Uh, he is also our Blaze TV host of Fearless. The Raiders head coach, John Gruden, has resigned
01:47:58.140 over old emails. And Jason is joining us now to tell us all about it and give his opinion.
01:48:04.200 Hello, Jason.
01:48:06.360 Glenn, great day to have me on. I know you're not the biggest sports fan, but I've got an analogy
01:48:13.460 that's going to work for you in a massive way and give you a way to talk about this.
01:48:19.280 All right.
01:48:19.620 What you're seeing with John Gruden and, and what the NFL is doing to him is no different
01:48:26.580 than what Joe Biden and the Department of Justice and the military are doing to all their employees.
01:48:33.880 John Gruden is being chopped down to size as a signal to everyone else in the NFL. This
01:48:41.220 guy had a 10 year, a hundred million dollar contract. Uh, other than Belichick, probably
01:48:46.300 the most recognizable coaching face in professional football, maybe more recognizable because of
01:48:52.160 the Chucky deal. He wasn't on board and there's a lot of coaches and executives not on board with
01:48:59.340 all of the gender and diversity and inclusion stuff. The NFL is doing from female coaches,
01:49:07.880 microwaving females through the referee process, the black lives matter stuff.
01:49:14.260 Take out John Gruden, make an example of him. Same way Biden ministry, make an example of Trump
01:49:22.980 supporters and claiming that January six was this insurrection and the worst thing since Pearl Harbor,
01:49:28.140 the bullying of military people. If you don't get on board with, uh, critical race theory and
01:49:36.260 everything else, we're running you out of the military. We're, we're attacking you through,
01:49:42.560 they're attacking parents through the department of justice. If you don't get on board with critical
01:49:47.020 race theory, this is all the same thing. Okay. So wait a minute. So wait a minute. Uh, you know,
01:49:53.780 I I've read some of the comments and some of the comments are, you know, what you would expect,
01:49:58.020 uh, from, you know, people who are not, you know, that are in, you know, sports or just guy kind of
01:50:05.980 stuff. Yeah. Locker room talk. Some of the stuff is, is pretty bad. It's pretty bad. There's no
01:50:13.400 question, but it's pervasive throughout sports and pervasive throughout football. Everybody in football
01:50:20.600 mail, uh, has emails, text messages, and, or comments similar. And I'm not in that vein, in that
01:50:32.500 light, you, I get Glenn. I grew up in that culture. I played football all the way up until age 22 when I
01:50:38.540 was done with college football, a lot of friends in the NFL, a lot of friends in professional sports.
01:50:44.340 Everybody's vulnerable to the attack that John Gruden just went through. If people get to go
01:50:51.300 through your private emails and surf for inappropriate comments, there's a good chance
01:50:57.900 there's something there. If it's not in your emails, maybe it's in your text messages. Maybe
01:51:02.340 it's in a comment you said to someone 10 years ago, everybody's vulnerable to this. And so you take
01:51:09.580 out Gruden. And then that's what they've done here. It's all a part of the NFL and professional
01:51:16.000 sports have been taken over by the left. The NFL is the most powerful force in popular culture.
01:51:24.060 It's the number one TV show on five different television networks. It's Superbowl platform
01:51:31.740 is the biggest platform in American culture. More than a hundred million people watch the Superbowl.
01:51:39.580 Taking over sports, taking over the NFL is crucial to the goals of the left and what they're
01:51:49.180 trying to do. The NFL, correct me if I'm wrong, has been the least problematic. They've been the
01:51:55.420 ones that, I mean, you know, the NBA is gone. Uh, the NFL doesn't seem to have, it, it started
01:52:04.140 out bad, but then it, it kind of pulled itself back. Didn't it? No, no, no, they're still doing
01:52:11.780 the, uh, black lives matter sloganing and on the field, on the back of helmets. Uh, NFL is the
01:52:19.320 worst one. I think NBA, I think NBA is still the worst one, Jason. I don't know what you, how you
01:52:23.180 feel about that. NBA is probably the worst. Then maybe, then maybe the NFL, then major league
01:52:28.280 baseball. I don't know. NBA is unwatchable. It's just a democratic party conference. Yeah,
01:52:32.540 I guess that's what they want the NFL to be. Yeah. So, and that's what they're doing. Here's
01:52:39.540 what, here's what it kills me is, uh, and I don't know this guy, Stu says he was with the
01:52:44.120 Eagles, maybe, uh, Emmanuel Acho. Is that how you say his name? Yeah. Uh, John Gruden's
01:52:50.580 Males are further and final proof for the necessity of minority voices in positions of power. Uh,
01:52:58.300 so another, wait, wait, wait. So in other words, it's just a white people problem. Is that what
01:53:04.340 he's saying? Immorality, according to Emmanuel Acho, yeah, it's just a white person problem.
01:53:10.320 And that, you know, that want black skin cures immorality. Uh, what about all the, what about
01:53:17.180 all the LGBT deal? That cures immorality. If everybody knows that if you're LGBT, that
01:53:22.920 cures immorality. Well, wait, wait, how about all of the, how about all of the trans? How
01:53:27.420 about all the cures immorality? I mean, what about all the football players that have, you
01:53:33.140 know, raped girls, harassed girls, killed people, you know, killed dogs? Glenn, I mean, come
01:53:40.960 on, Glenn, you know, that's white supremacy, but that, that, that they, without white supremacy,
01:53:46.280 that would have never happened. Oh, come on. That's your fault, Glenn. All right. Okay. All
01:53:52.280 right. I mean, I love your response to this on Twitter. Respectfully, who should it be? Bill
01:53:58.820 Cosby, R. Kelly, Russell Simmons, Jay-Z, OJ Simpson. And I think you meant, uh, uh, I, I, I,
01:54:06.180 maybe this was autocorrect. Maybe not. Juicy Smollett. Uh, me and Dave Chappelle call, uh,
01:54:12.280 whatever his name, Juicy Smollett. Uh, and I don't, I can't even think of his real name
01:54:17.080 now. Jussie, I think. Jussie. Jussie. Yeah. Um, we all fall short. All human beings fall
01:54:23.200 short. Power corrupts. So what should happen here? With John Gruden, we should have accepted
01:54:30.400 his apology and kept it moving. No different. The NBA superstar, Kevin Durant, a few months
01:54:37.060 ago. Uh, the actor, Michael Rapoport exposed all the direct messages between those two filled
01:54:44.580 with misogyny, homophobic stuff, profane, all of that. And the NBA slapped Kevin Durant with a
01:54:53.800 $50,000 fine and everybody kept it moving. And Durant issued an apology and everyone kept it moving
01:54:59.940 private direct messages between these two that put Durant in an embarrassing light. No one acted like
01:55:05.960 the world again. No one had acted like this says everything about Durant's character. He apologized.
01:55:13.540 He was fine. We kept moving. That's what should have happened to John Gruden.
01:55:18.440 Especially since he's playing for the Raiders, which is not necessarily the nicest, uh, Sunday school
01:55:24.580 team in Las Vegas. I mean, one of the things that he got in trouble for was he was sending,
01:55:30.400 uh, uh, uh, pictures or girls or passing along, uh, pictures of, uh, women in bikinis where they
01:55:39.800 were topless and I'm ever myself. Uh, I am shocked by that. Shocked. Uh, Glenn, just think about this.
01:55:50.620 The NFL has excitedly announced that it's Superbowl halftime show, the biggest platform in American
01:55:59.600 culture will be, will feature the rappers, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Eminem. Oh, anybody go listen to
01:56:06.920 their music. It makes John Gruden's email seem like a Sunday school lesson. Go listen to their
01:56:13.840 music. I mean, the stuff Eminem on Dr. Dre's last album, I think came out 2015 or 16. He had a lyric
01:56:21.680 that said, even the women that I rape have orgasms. He didn't use orgasms. He didn't say it. He said it
01:56:28.380 more profanely than what I did. But again, the stuff that these guys have rapped about,
01:56:34.680 right? Dr. Dre, uh, beat up a woman violently. I mean, I don't know if you can do it nonviolently,
01:56:41.400 but beat up a woman in the 1990s. Snoop Dogg accused of murder. Uh, the lyrical pornography
01:56:48.920 that these guys have attached to their name, they're appropriate for the biggest platform
01:56:54.220 that we have in American culture, the biggest platform that football has, but John Gruden must
01:56:59.840 be removed from the NFL's platform because of private emails. And the Chappelle thing that
01:57:05.960 just came out really highlighted this with DaBaby, who actually killed a guy in a Walmart under very
01:57:14.280 strange circumstances and didn't get canceled. Yet he said a couple bad things on stage about the
01:57:20.540 LGBTQ2 plus community. And now he's, he's toast toast. And you know, some will argue comedically
01:57:30.860 will argue that like, uh, Gruden said these things about DeMarie Smith's lips and survived that,
01:57:37.740 but you violate the LGBT, the alphabet mafia, and you must be beheaded. Do you think, do you think,
01:57:47.140 um, uh, Chappelle weathers this storm? Uh, yeah, I do. Uh, I strangely do too. Well, I, if you move to a
01:58:00.480 point where you don't care, you can't be canceled. And that's where I think Chappelle has gone. He
01:58:10.080 doesn't care. And so they can only count, cancel you if you care. And so I think he's there. And so
01:58:20.560 I think he survives. I can't wait for your show today. Uh, Jason, Jason, uh, Whitlock, you can, uh,
01:58:28.700 you can watch him on fearless on blaze TV. You can also, uh, uh, subscribe to his, uh, YouTube channel,
01:58:36.040 fearless with Jason Whitlock. Make sure that you, uh, subscribe to his YouTube channel and rate and
01:58:42.320 review. Stu five stars is appropriate, right? That's the right number. Yes. They don't have
01:58:47.040 seven. If they had seven, it would be seven, but it's only five, but five is, uh, I guess you're
01:58:51.460 going to have to live with it. Jason Whitlock, blaze TV and fearless. Thank you so much, Jason.
01:58:56.100 Talk to you later. Uh, if you're in the middle of trying to buy or sell a home right now, Hey,
01:59:00.040 how's that going? The way the housing market has gone absolutely crazy over the past year,

02:00:05.020 right now. Can we take a little, just a, just a little bit of this Nancy Pelosi press conference
02:00:09.000 here? There's a lot in it. And, uh, and I think she said too much. You shouldn't have stuck with
02:00:15.720 that for so long. Um, Nancy Pelosi says the spending cuts that are in the $3.5 trillion bill
02:00:23.540 will not diminish the transformative nature of the build back better plan. Now, let me, let me just
02:00:31.100 say, uh, we're guessing, we don't know what this is going to land at, but, uh, cinema and, uh, uh,
02:00:38.400 and, uh, and mansion say that that needs to be around one five. So if there's a compromise,
02:00:43.900 it'll be two, two and a half, maybe, maybe two and a half. Yeah. Two and a half would be the
02:00:50.320 midpoint. Right. So let's just say that it is two and a half. How can you cut one point? What?
02:00:57.660 $3 trillion, $1.2 trillion. Uh, isn't it? It was 3.7 to five. So, okay. Okay. So $1 trillion and not
02:01:07.820 have that diminish the transformative nature. Hmm. And the answer is because it's not the money.
02:01:15.620 We've all been concentrating on the money. It's the infrastructure that is in this plan.
02:01:24.080 It is the things that, you know, I said this last week, if you remembered, uh, Johnny Cash's song,
02:01:31.900 uh, one piece at a time, he was talking about, he worked at GM and he worked on the line for the
02:01:39.280 Cadillacs and he always wanted a Cadillac. And so he was working there at 50 in 1955. And he decided,
02:01:45.160 I'm just going to get a Cadillac. I'm going to get it for free. I'm just going to take it out one piece
02:01:49.520 at a time. And he started in 55 and ended in 73 and none of it, none of it fit together. Uh, but they
02:01:59.400 didn't notice it because it was one piece at a time. That's exactly what this is. Yeah. And it's
02:02:05.580 all accounting tricks too. I mean, they will lower the money to make it look like you're saving and
02:02:11.960 then keep all the programs in there. One of the ways they do this is all these numbers are designed
02:02:17.440 to be for 10 years. So they'll instead put the program in for three years. So a program that should
02:02:22.700 cost a hundred billion dollars, they'll say it only costs $30 billion and then they'll have it only in
02:02:28.380 there for three years. Something like, you know, let's say universal pre-K. Well, the mom who sends
02:02:33.340 their kid to pre-K for free at three years old and then expects to send them the next year for four
02:02:38.380 at four, at four years old. Well, guess what's going to happen when they bring that in front of
02:02:43.020 politicians who want to keep their jobs? They're just going to extend it. So that a hundred billion
02:02:47.200 dollars or more will be spent. It's just not in the accounting of the bill. So that's how they're
02:02:52.060 going to lower the bill to make this seem like a big savings. And so that Joe Manchin can go
02:02:58.320 back to you in West Virginia again and get you to vote for him again, even though he does this
02:03:05.440 every time. He can act like he's this big moderate bulwark in the Senate, but every time the same
02:03:13.440 thing happens when they need his vote, he's never there for you. He will not save you. And once again,
02:03:21.300 this is going to occur. All this stuff's going to be put in place and we're going to be the ones
02:03:26.200 paying for it and our kids are going to be paying for it and our grandkids and several
02:03:30.080 generations after that. Nah, that's crazy. We'll just print the money and we'll never have to pay
02:03:37.260 for it. Isn't that great? Sounds great. Yeah. Yeah. It's going to be really, it's going to be really,
02:03:42.200 really, really, really, really good. Congratulations to the Democrats. They've had to cut the spending
02:03:49.880 and they're not happy, but don't worry.
