00:01:07.400 Dad.
00:01:08.120 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:01:30.520 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:01:39.440 Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:01:42.500 We're glad you're here.
00:01:43.520 There's a lot to talk about the crisis at the border, which is definitely not a crisis, until
00:01:49.360 you hear the numbers.
00:01:51.680 We have the official numbers now from an inside source.
00:01:55.840 We're going to share those with you, a little shocking, coming up in just a second.
00:02:00.860 Also, the oppression of people just continues.
00:02:05.440 Oh my gosh, the oppression, especially New York Times reporters get.
00:02:11.580 Oh my gosh, sometimes, sometimes people say bad things about them on Twitter.
00:02:17.860 Oh, why would you do that?
00:02:21.620 These great reporters out there doing essential work.
00:02:24.800 You know, they're criticizing everybody and everything that disagrees with them, but don't
00:02:29.240 disagree with them and call them out on it on Twitter.
00:02:32.640 Oh, it makes me sad.
00:02:34.420 The oppression continues.
00:02:36.100 We begin in 60 seconds.
00:02:41.880 All right.
00:02:43.320 Yeah, I want to tell you about my dog, Uno.
00:02:45.940 He is, he's the best.
00:02:48.540 He has been part of the family now for about eight years, and we care about him.
00:02:53.300 We love him, and I am delighted that I no longer have to stand motionless there by his bowl
00:03:00.400 while he casually decides whether or not he's going to eat that day, you know, and did I
00:03:06.600 move?
00:03:07.140 Why are you moving?
00:03:08.160 I was interested in my food.
00:03:09.280 Then you moved.
00:03:09.960 Oh my gosh.
00:03:11.340 Started feeding him rough greens.
00:03:13.120 And when I gave him rough greens, all of a sudden, everything changed for Uno.
00:03:19.120 Get a free bag of rough greens right now just for your dog to try it out.
00:03:23.500 If your dog loves it as much as my dog does, you are set.
00:03:28.980 He is, he's, he races to his bowl now.
00:03:32.900 He almost knocks people over.
00:03:34.980 When he hears the bag of rough greens coming, his tail just starts wagging.
00:03:39.500 And that's how much he loves it.
00:03:42.180 But let me tell you, because it has probiotics and all of the stuff that you're supposed to
00:03:46.700 have, you know, you are supposed to have, your dog's supposed to have it too.
00:03:50.480 All the really great stuff that they're missing, especially in kibble food, you give it to them
00:03:57.040 on top of their current food.
00:03:58.980 Whatever you're feeding them, put it on top.
00:04:00.980 They'll love it, and you will see a difference.
00:04:03.480 Right now, just see if your dog will eat it.
00:04:05.000 Get a free bag of rough greens just to try out.
00:04:07.740 Make sure your dog loves it as much as Uno does.
00:04:10.120 All you pay for is shipping.
00:04:11.700 It's free.
00:04:12.640 Just pay for shipping.
00:04:14.180 Go to roughgreens.com slash Beck.
00:04:16.600 That's roughgreens.com slash Beck.
00:04:19.240 Or call 833-GLEN-33.
00:04:21.760 833-GLEN-33.
00:04:24.200 Roughgreens.com slash Beck.
00:04:29.680 Oh my gosh.
00:04:31.220 Now, I don't want to say anything bad at all about the president.
00:04:37.080 I mean, I don't want to say anything bad about, you know, anybody involved with things that
00:04:42.100 I don't agree with.
00:04:43.240 In fact, I probably shouldn't say that I don't agree with them because that might, you know,
00:04:47.220 be harassment.
00:04:48.540 They might feel bad if I say those things.
00:04:51.800 But let me just give you the numbers of what is happening on our border.
00:04:56.040 According to sources, HHS is expected to reach its shelter capacity later this month, and
00:05:04.900 the agency is planning to change its coronavirus protocols to make room for an additional 2,000
00:05:12.080 kids.
00:05:13.440 In January, our Border Patrol caught 7,300 unaccompanied minors crossing the border illegally.
00:05:22.560 That's the highest number of arrests in the month of January in at least a decade, and
00:05:29.740 up from the number in December of 4,500.
00:05:35.140 Now, they have reduced the number of available beds for unaccompanied children by 40% to prevent
00:05:41.960 the spread of COVID-19.
00:05:43.480 It now has about 7,700 available beds, including those at emergency facilities.
00:05:50.860 And at the end of February, HHS had 7,100 children in custody.
00:05:56.500 On February 23rd alone, more than 400 migrant kids were referred to the HHS shelter.
00:06:05.660 For contrast, the 30-day referral average at the peak of the 2019 crisis was under 300, 294.
00:06:16.820 Based on information on the ground, the Border Patrol is seeing the average daily flow soar to
00:06:26.960 more than 3,500 people a day.
00:06:32.680 That's up from 2,000 in January.
00:06:37.480 Border Patrol's 21-day average has risen to nearly 3,000 every single day.
00:06:43.800 We don't have the February numbers yet, but sources tell this program that February could
00:06:50.980 see 100,000 people coming across our border in one month.
00:06:57.880 They have already encountered 300,000 illegal migrants since October.
00:07:04.920 The numbers are rising.
00:07:06.480 This does not include the February numbers.
00:07:09.560 For context, in the first four months of fiscal year 2020, the Border Patrol encountered 164,000.
00:07:17.180 Let me say that again.
00:07:19.360 The first four months of fiscal year in 2020, 164,932.
00:07:31.180 We already have 300,000 illegal immigrants in the same time period, and we don't have February's
00:07:40.860 numbers quite yet.
00:07:43.460 I don't know.
00:07:44.600 I think we might have a problem here.
00:07:46.800 We have a problem when Mexico steps to the plate and says, hey, guys, you're causing all
00:07:54.320 kinds of problem here with your border policies.
00:07:57.900 Remember how horrible it was?
00:08:00.300 Oh, my gosh.
00:08:01.180 Mexico was so upset with us.
00:08:02.980 Oh, no, wait.
00:08:03.520 They were cooperating because they had a problem on their southern border.
00:08:08.460 Everybody was trying to get through Mexico to come to the United States, and they were tearing
00:08:13.860 down the fences that they have on their southern border.
00:08:19.080 And things were getting better and better.
00:08:23.700 And now, because detentions are increasing, and we have now cut off the help we were giving
00:08:40.020 Central America to stop the flow into the United States, they see now Biden as a migrant president,
00:08:47.940 and they feel like they're going to reach the United States, and they're going to get in.
00:08:52.540 The problem is, according to Mexico, quote, we need to work together to regulate the flow because business
00:09:00.100 can't be tackled from one day to the next.
00:09:03.940 Apparently, based on in testimonies and intelligence gathering, gangs are diversifying methods of
00:09:11.440 smuggling and winning clients as they eye the U.S. measures that will incentivize migration.
00:09:17.660 The Mexicans are now worried about encouraging migration that will support gangs and violence
00:09:25.960 as those gangs streamline the legalization process and the United States suspends the Trump-era accords.
00:09:34.880 One Mexican official familiar with migration development spoke on the condition of anonymity,
00:09:39.780 said organized crime began changing its modus operandi from the day Biden took office.
00:09:46.760 They now say that the mobs and the gangs have unprecedented levels of sophistication.
00:09:53.860 Migrants, he continues, have become a commodity, arguing that they're now as valuable as drugs for gangs.
00:10:02.120 Higher concentrations of migrants in border areas have encouraged gangs to recruit them as drug mules
00:10:08.840 and to kidnap others for money.
00:10:11.780 Both Mexican and U.S. policy should be more clear cut as to not spur illegal immigration,
00:10:19.100 the Mexican official told Reuters.
00:10:22.120 To avoid detection, migrants now often travel in small groups instead of caravans
00:10:27.240 and increasingly follow more dangerous, less well-trotted routes.
00:10:32.420 Communicating via social media such as Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, and YouTube,
00:10:41.000 smugglers update migrants on impending checkpoints.
00:10:44.920 When freight trains that they can jump on pass and where to stay and how to navigate immigration laws.
00:10:51.880 Gee, they're organizing on Facebook and YouTube and Instagram and WhatsApp?
00:10:58.600 Maybe somebody should look into the legal activity that is being allowed to organize on those applications.
00:11:10.920 To ease their passage, smugglers advise Central American clients to register complaints with authorities
00:11:17.360 saying they've been victims of extortion or for young men that they face death threats from street gangs.
00:11:23.980 Migrants are being told to bring children along to make it easier.
00:11:27.280 Mexican intelligence shows smugglers' transit costs varied wildly in the last few months.
00:11:35.160 One assessment said an unaccompanied Central American miner could secure passage to the U.S. border for about $3,200.
00:11:42.460 If you're from Africa, the rate is $20,000.
00:11:46.540 If you are Asian, you will pay much more than that.
00:11:50.460 One evaluation set out concerns that there could be significant influx in migrants from outside the region,
00:11:57.900 the Caribbean, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
00:12:02.720 Hmm.
00:12:04.260 Even as Mexicans hail Biden's cancellation of work on Trump's border wall,
00:12:09.380 some officials say in Mexico that it's time Mexico returns to an idea the government raised in 2019,
00:12:16.820 improving the infrastructure along its own southern border with Guatemala.
00:12:23.600 Mexico spends more on every new wave of migrants that it would cost.
00:12:28.480 We have to do this now.
00:12:32.260 Meanwhile, Joe Biden has very little to say about it.
00:12:37.200 Well, Joe Biden has very little.
00:12:38.500 Is he doing a press conference tonight, Stu?
00:12:42.400 Absolutely not, Glenn.
00:12:43.900 That would be something he is not very interested in doing.
00:12:47.780 In fact, he's just set a record.
00:12:50.160 A record for the new administration.
00:12:52.300 Congratulations to the Biden administration.
00:12:54.660 The longest time to do a press conference in a century.
00:12:57.980 Good job, Joe!
00:12:59.020 Yeah!
00:12:59.200 Yeah!
00:13:00.280 He is.
00:13:01.060 He's smoking it.
00:13:01.840 Now, he's at, I think, 50 days, something like that now.
00:13:03.880 Uh, he, the previous record was 33 days, uh, uh, which was, uh, George W or George HW.
00:13:11.200 I can't remember.
00:13:11.580 One of the bushes.
00:13:12.500 Anyway, so they're, they're saying he may, and I want you to get excited about this.
00:13:16.520 He may be able to get a press conference done by the end of the month.
00:13:22.520 Yeah!
00:13:23.260 Wow!
00:13:24.020 I mean, it's only another 20 days.
00:13:25.940 Wow!
00:13:26.480 So, he might be able to put that together.
00:13:28.300 I thought he was taking questions tonight.
00:13:30.120 He's having his first primetime, I know, but.
00:13:32.480 Yeah, primetime address.
00:13:33.580 I thought he was supposed to take questions after that.
00:13:36.120 Now, he may take a question or two.
00:13:37.300 I don't know.
00:13:38.420 I will say, you know, the, the standard here, though, is formal press conference, which every
00:13:42.840 president does almost immediately after they get started to set the agenda and talk about
00:13:47.560 the things they want to talk about.
00:13:49.040 That's the last thing Joe Biden wants to do.
00:13:51.340 He does not want anyone to be aware of what he's doing.
00:13:54.040 And, of course, he doesn't also want to be in front of people where he might look like
00:13:58.020 his faculties are failing him.
00:13:59.920 Uh-huh.
00:14:00.440 So, let me, let me play this.
00:14:02.200 This is California Representative Mark Garcia.
00:14:06.160 He has been twice elected in the 25th District of North Los Angeles.
00:14:11.460 He just did an interview on Larry O'Connor's Examining Politics podcast.
00:14:16.860 I want you to hear what this congressman, who is known to be gentle, quiet, not a flamethrower,
00:14:26.260 here's what he said on that podcast.
00:14:28.660 Listen.
00:14:28.860 And, Congressman, to the question as to whether President Biden is lying or he just doesn't
00:14:33.920 quite understand, yesterday he was attending a ceremony of two women being promoted, one
00:14:39.640 in the Air Force, one in the Army, to four-star general status.
00:14:42.300 A great moment, actually, for a United States military and certainly for those two great
00:14:46.500 women.
00:14:46.760 Absolutely.
00:14:47.200 And he seemed to lose his train of thought with regard to the name of the Secretary of
00:14:51.580 Defense and, for that matter, the title of the Secretary of Defense and also the name
00:14:56.500 of the Department of Defense.
00:14:58.220 Listen.
00:14:58.440 I just want to thank you both, and I want to thank the former general, I keep calling
00:15:04.680 him general, but my, the guy who runs that outfit over there, I want to make sure we thank
00:15:12.140 the Secretary for all he's done to try to implement what we just talked about.
00:15:17.540 Are you concerned about this?
00:15:19.080 Are there conversations going on in Congress right now as every day we seem to see another
00:15:22.680 incident like this?
00:15:24.460 Yeah, I've been concerned about this since day one, especially in this case.
00:15:27.880 We brought the general in that he's talking about on a waiver because he had been on active
00:15:32.940 duty for less than, you know, less than 10 years since he assumed his post of sec death.
00:15:38.040 So this is very concerning now that he's all of a sudden forgetting not only the circumstances,
00:15:42.680 but the human being that he's appointed.
00:15:44.860 This, to me, in my opinion, and I mean this as gracefully and tactfully as I can, I think
00:15:49.940 we are seeing nationally one of the most grievous examples of elderly abuse in our nation.
00:15:55.380 This president is not fit for office.
00:15:58.960 I don't really believe he understands what he's doing, and he's got a political machine
00:16:04.140 behind him that's propping him up, and it scares the hell out of people like me who value
00:16:08.360 our national security and really value making sure that we're doing the right thing for
00:16:12.840 our country.
00:16:14.020 And we're being led right now by an individual who doesn't know the name of his own staff
00:16:17.520 members in public.
00:16:18.820 And look, we all make mistakes once in a while.
00:16:20.980 We all have gaps, public speaking gaps.
00:16:23.620 This is well beyond this.
00:16:25.720 And frankly, it's sad to watch.
00:16:27.300 It's dangerous, in my opinion, to our nation, and we do deserve better.
00:16:33.000 All right.
00:16:33.500 Let me tell you about real estate agents I trust.
00:16:36.420 You know, I wish I knew then what I know now.
00:16:39.520 How many times a day have you said that?
00:16:41.100 I know when I first started going through the process of buying and selling a house, there
00:16:46.320 was a ton to know, and I was young and stupid, and then I sold my next house.
00:16:51.860 I bought it, and then I sold it, and man, I was young and stupid.
00:16:56.060 Then it got to the point to where I was just old and stupid, because I didn't know how to
00:17:00.740 hire a real estate agent.
00:17:02.320 I mean, how do you do it?
00:17:03.300 You look at the bus boards, and you're like, that real estate agent looks pretty.
00:17:08.180 See, that real estate agent looks sincere.
00:17:11.860 You really have to know something about your real estate agent.
00:17:15.160 Do they have the right strategy?
00:17:17.340 Do they have the right advertising campaign?
00:17:19.820 Do they have people coming to their website ready to buy a house all the time so they don't
00:17:25.140 have to blow up balloons and have a little open house for you?
00:17:28.640 Real estate agents I trust.

00:17:56.880 10 seconds station.
00:17:57.760 Last night we did a great show on our Wednesday night special.
00:18:16.620 It's available.
00:18:17.480 If you're not a subscriber, you can find it on our YouTube page, Blaze TV YouTube page.
00:18:23.140 It's my Wednesday night special, and it was on the the great reset of the American story.
00:18:29.480 And there is a concerted effort to change everything.
00:18:33.400 I mean, you know, I think of that phrase that that Michelle Obama said over and over and
00:18:41.900 over again.
00:18:42.340 It is it's now here.
00:18:44.340 Now, they set this transformation into motion, but that transformation is now here.
00:18:51.960 The most transformative president is going to be Joe Biden, historically speaking, even
00:18:57.680 in just the first 100 days.
00:18:59.680 And he's not done yet.
00:19:01.500 And she said we have to change our history.
00:19:03.980 We have to change our language.
00:19:05.320 We have to change the way we speak to one another.
00:19:08.180 All of that has been changed.
00:19:10.380 Listen.
00:19:10.620 And Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices.
00:19:15.340 We are going to have to change our conversation.
00:19:18.200 We're going to have to change our traditions, our history.
00:19:21.260 We're going to have to move into a different place.
00:19:24.780 So David Flynn, he's a high school football coach in Massachusetts, and he's been the school
00:19:32.920 district's coach for nearly a decade.
00:19:35.920 And he was just fired because he raised concerns about the use of critical race theory in his
00:19:42.680 seventh grade daughter's curriculum.
00:19:44.780 Now, he's suing them.
00:19:47.180 The superintendent is being sued, the high school principal and the high school athletic
00:19:53.320 director for violating his First Amendment rights to speak out.
00:19:57.220 This is in the First Amendment.
00:20:00.660 It's not a right just to free speech.
00:20:02.180 It's a right to redress and demand answers from your government.
00:20:07.420 This is a government school.
00:20:09.460 They fired him for saying, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:20:12.580 What are you doing with critical race?
00:20:15.880 He went in his his seventh grade daughter's history teacher.
00:20:19.900 He went in and was talking to him or her and and then he asked for a meeting with with the
00:20:28.740 school committee challenging the world geography and ancient history one curriculum.
00:20:37.440 It was changed without notification or review by the parents.
00:20:41.140 And he complained in his complaint included coursework on politics, race, gender, equality, diversity.
00:20:49.680 And he said they're not suitable for 12 to 13 year olds.
00:20:55.000 In the in the teaching, the class materials said that all police officers are risks to black
00:21:04.060 people and all black males are risks to white people.
00:21:08.360 The lawsuit describes one of the daughter's assignments.
00:21:12.640 She was asked to consider various risk factors and mitigating factors that two people, one identified
00:21:20.360 as white and the other identified as black, might use to assess each other on a city street.
00:21:26.680 Included among the various factors were skin color, gender, race, age, physical appearance and attire.
00:21:32.680 Black aggressive body language in the wrong neighborhood were among the risk factors.
00:21:38.260 Purportedly assessed by the person identified as white, white and police officer were among
00:21:44.840 the risk factors purportedly assessed by the person identified as black.
00:21:49.400 We are teaching each other to hate.
00:21:52.580 They are indoctrinating our children to hate.
00:21:56.700 There is there is no clearer clarion call for you to get involved than this.
00:22:05.940 I want you to go to Glenn Beck dot com and there's all kinds of resources of groups that
00:22:12.300 you can join, how you can get involved in your local school board.
00:22:16.660 But you must stand up.
00:22:18.780 And if the teachers don't stand with you, I don't care how much you love that teacher,
00:22:24.180 how kind that teacher.
00:22:25.980 But if that teacher won't stand up against this kind of stuff, they're part of the problem
00:22:32.660 and you need to speak up against them as well.
00:22:38.740 This is the Glenn Beck program.
00:22:41.180 I'm going to show you how to do that here in just a second.
00:22:43.720 First, let me tell you about relief factor.

00:22:50.600 I know it sucks the life right out of you.
00:22:52.940 I can tell you I felt that for a very long years.
00:22:56.660 I wasn't myself.

00:23:15.640 Relief factor.
00:23:16.560 When I started taking it, it took me about three weeks before I started to see a difference.
00:23:21.480 And I stopped taking it because I thought, ah, it's just my, it's just my mind.
00:23:25.640 I'm just, I'm thinking there's a difference.
00:23:27.560 Oh no, there was a huge difference.
00:23:29.340 And then the longer I took it, the more and more all of that pain went away.

00:24:03.360 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:24:20.140 Coming up in an hour from now, 60 minutes, I'm going to introduce you to a couple from San Francisco.
00:24:26.780 I don't know.
00:24:28.480 We didn't really ask, but seeing, you know, their social media, they seem pretty liberal.
00:24:33.440 But they were really horrified by what the school board in San Francisco was doing and not doing.
00:24:41.320 Not reopening schools, but instead trying to rename all of the schools.
00:24:45.980 They decided that they were going to go to a school board meeting and listen in.
00:24:51.060 And they did.
00:24:51.980 And what they heard, they were horrified by.
00:24:54.060 I'm going to let them tell the story.
00:24:55.820 But they organized a little group of people who said, we want the schools open and we want this nonsense to stop.
00:25:04.080 They're liberals.
00:25:04.880 They even saw that things were out of control.
00:25:09.160 You don't have to be.
00:25:10.360 I mean, just because you're a liberal doesn't mean you have, you know, checked your your brain at the Marxist, you know, coat closet.
00:25:22.620 They have organized and they have actually changed the course of their school board there in San Francisco.
00:25:29.860 We're going to talk to them and I think you're going to find them to be really inspiring because that's what we all have to do.
00:25:39.300 We all have to get involved.
00:25:41.740 We don't all agree on on the same things, but there are some poisons that are being taught in our school.
00:25:48.260 And our school board usually doesn't reflect the community, you know, small people with a big agenda that they're going to impose.
00:26:00.100 And the stories we're hearing from school boards, it's quite amazing how people are being treated when they dare question their school board or their schools.
00:26:10.600 I just told you a story about a football coach that is it lost his job.
00:26:16.060 He turned their whole their whole athletic department around over a 10 year period.
00:26:21.560 He questioned the critical race theories and some of the other theories that are being taught to his 12 year old girl, 12 year old daughter.
00:26:31.140 What happens?
00:26:32.380 They fire him.
00:26:34.600 Other school boards are doubling down as well.
00:26:37.780 School districts and teachers are doubling down.
00:26:40.380 This is your chance to change something.
00:26:45.880 You can do it.
00:26:47.460 You're not alone.
00:26:49.580 There are people that might disagree with you on who to vote for.
00:26:52.860 There are people that might disagree with you on, you know, a lot of politics.
00:26:57.420 But there's a lot of agreement on this.
00:27:00.760 I want to tell you that our education and I showed this to you last night on our Wednesday night broadcast and I told you if you hadn't heard at least a quarter of the stories that I told at least a quarter.
00:27:15.340 And that's really being generous, if you haven't heard at least a quarter of the stories I told last night, you don't know American history.
00:27:25.980 And if you don't know American history, I guarantee you, your kids are way off the rails.
00:27:34.320 My kids get off the rails.
00:27:37.040 If I'm not policing it, they're off the rails.
00:27:40.140 Now, I want to show you what can be done if you know how to look for original sources and also if you if you know the tricks of the trade.
00:27:56.320 History was being changed by the progressives really beginning in the 1920s.
00:28:03.360 That's when a real concerted effort was put out to change history.
00:28:09.280 And what they did is they would print things with opinions and they wouldn't footnote.
00:28:16.340 Now, back in the 1920s, footnotes were not as big of a deal, but they wouldn't footnote.
00:28:21.900 We had gone from original sources.
00:28:25.760 And I witnesses to things to people's opinion, scholars opinions, and then they just started quoting each other as if that backed it up.
00:28:36.740 But each book would not have the footnotes.
00:28:39.800 They were quoting someone else.
00:28:41.540 And then that person was quoting someone else.
00:28:44.900 So let me give you an example of this.
00:28:47.420 This came from Nick Geyer.
00:28:50.460 He's a fellow minister in the conservative Presbyterian church.
00:28:55.800 And he had a problem with Peter Lilback's book, Sacred Fire.
00:29:03.180 And he says a large number of us are embarrassed by his poor historical methodology.
00:29:09.080 What Peter Lilback did in Sacred Fire was just take all of the writings of George Washington and compile them.
00:29:17.120 Just take all of the things that he ever said, he ever uttered, and compile them.
00:29:23.080 So I don't know exactly how you get that wrong.
00:29:25.720 Seems like a pretty good approach, I would think.
00:29:29.440 Yeah, it does.
00:29:30.620 Thanks to Glenn Beck's fawning promotion, an obscure self-published book on George Washington's religion has become a bestseller on Amazon.com.
00:29:38.820 Now, this happened a long time ago.
00:29:40.960 Beck enthused.
00:29:41.900 It discredits all of the scholars.
00:29:43.700 It's the best book on faith and the founding I've ever read.
00:29:46.800 But did Beck actually read this huge tome?
00:29:49.980 Yeah, I know.
00:29:50.860 You can't read, can you?
00:29:52.240 I can't read.
00:29:52.540 You're still working on that, but you'll get there.
00:29:54.300 It's almost 1,200 pages.
00:29:56.380 I know.
00:29:57.340 I know.
00:29:57.860 The only 1,200-page book that I've ever read was this one and Les Miserables.
00:30:03.780 And Les Miserables was worse.
00:30:06.220 Was that 1,200 pages?
00:30:07.440 1,200 pages, yeah.
00:30:08.520 Oh, jeez.
00:30:09.080 It was 1,200 pages.
00:30:10.820 And that was harder because it was all story of 1,200 pages.
00:30:15.560 This was, as he points out, 500 pages of endnotes and footnotes.
00:30:23.520 So I didn't read the 500 pages of footnotes.
00:30:27.660 You know, as a page turner, yes, it is.
00:30:30.820 Lilback really has to stretch the evidence and indulge in a lot of speculation to make Washington an Orthodox Trinitarian Christian.
00:30:38.140 Here's the essence of his argument.
00:30:41.100 Angelicans are Orthodox Christians.
00:30:43.680 Washington was an Angelican.
00:30:46.220 Therefore, Washington was an Orthodox Christian.
00:30:48.640 No, that's not his argument.
00:30:50.860 Thomas Jefferson rejected the divinity of Christ and the Trinity, but he was a lifelong member of the Anglican Church.
00:30:57.060 This fact leads us to believe that Lilback's major premise is obviously false.
00:31:00.820 Well, first of all, no, he did not reject Christ.
00:31:06.440 He's the author of the book, The Teachings of Jesus of Nazareth.
00:31:14.060 It's a very important book and one that is twisted by scholars, but it wasn't twisted in Jefferson's time.
00:31:25.560 Everybody knew exactly what it was.
00:31:27.340 He goes on, Washington's diaries show how frequently he dishonored the Sabbath.
00:31:33.040 We learn in one entry that he could have collected his rents on Sundays, but he declined because the people living on his land were apparently very religious.
00:31:41.000 This is the real honest George.
00:31:44.220 The weakest arguments in the book are the ones devoted to proving Washington believed in a deity of Christ and the Trinity.
00:31:49.960 In all of his voluminous, in all of his huge writing, huge collections of writing.
00:31:57.280 Again, you can read, but you can't speak.
00:31:59.560 Yeah, I know.
00:32:00.180 Geez.
00:32:01.740 Only once does he speak of Jesus.
00:32:03.880 This single incident, a speech to the Delaware Indians, was most likely written by an aide more orthodox than he.
00:32:10.480 So, in other words, this aide took the most respected man to ever live, in their opinion at that time, somebody who was so honorable and changed his words because they thought it was a little more important.
00:32:26.780 The aide did that.
00:32:28.180 With so little evidence to work with, Lilback is forced to make some.
00:32:32.460 Basically, this is like the Ron Burgundy of founding fathers, who's just like reading the prompter.
00:32:38.860 Yeah.
00:32:39.000 Like, these aren't words I mean.
00:32:40.380 Yes, they're different than my actual beliefs, but some aide altered them, so therefore I'm going to read them.
00:32:45.780 That's the premise here?
00:32:46.680 Yes.
00:32:47.060 Got it.
00:32:47.500 So, now listen to what he says.
00:32:48.900 Scholars at Mount Vernon.
00:32:50.540 Scholars at Mount Vernon.
00:32:51.920 State Washington's diaries show no church attendance by anyone in the family after they returned to Mount Vernon at the end of his presidency.
00:32:59.740 In stark contrast to Washington, Jefferson, after his retirement, rode all the way to Charlottesville to church.
00:33:04.820 In a recent biography of Washington, Joseph J. Ellis.
00:33:09.800 In a recent biography of Washington, Joseph J. Ellis describes the scene at Washington's death.
00:33:15.740 There were no ministers in the room, no prayers uttered, no Christian rituals offered the solace of everlasting life.
00:33:22.300 Benjamin Rush, who is a founding father, reported to Thomas Jefferson, upon leaving Washington, upon leaving office, Washington met with a group of clergy who submitted a number of questions for him to answer.
00:33:35.120 Since he had never made any public affirmation of Christianity, one of the questions was whether or not he was a Christian.
00:33:40.580 Washington very kindly answered all of the questions except for that one.
00:33:44.240 And then historian Paul Bowler concludes, if Washington was a Christian, he was surely a Protestant of the most liberal persuasion.
00:33:52.360 Okay, so who does he quote?
00:33:53.920 He quotes Benjamin Rush saying that George Washington didn't answer that question.
00:33:58.960 But you have to speculate what the answer was.
00:34:02.500 Everything else he quotes, he quotes diaries in one place, and then he quotes, what, five different modern historians.
00:34:12.560 So let me answer this.
00:34:15.800 George Washington has some hundred volumes of published writings, his own writings.
00:34:22.380 Over the past 250 years, several hundred biographies have been written about him.
00:34:27.840 Yet to emphasize his point, Geyer chooses to cite an anonymous review of Lilback's book from an unnamed modern pastor.
00:34:37.020 Since Geyer seems to be interested in the opinion of pastors, perhaps he should consider what numerous pastors who personally knew Washington wrote about his faith.
00:34:47.080 Again, I don't have to go to modern scholars.
00:34:50.900 What I do is I look to the people who knew him.
00:34:54.580 Virginia pastor John Leland was not only familiar with George Washington, but he also worked closely with James Madison and Thomas Jefferson on religious liberty issues.
00:35:06.920 He knew him.
00:35:07.860 He penned a 56 stanza poem about George Washington titled Washington and Christ, praising the character of the two.
00:35:18.200 Reverend Henry Muhlenberg, the father of one of Washington's generals, also the father of the Speaker of the House when Washington was president, declared of Washington that he respects God's word, believes in the atonement through Christ, and bears himself in humility and gentleness.
00:35:35.720 Now, you got all those scholars, modern-day scholars, but I just listed just two people who knew the man.
00:35:44.600 He was also active in several neighboring churches in his lifetime.
00:35:48.640 Lee Massey, a church leader or pastor of the Pohick Church, where Washington served on the board, testified at the time,
00:35:57.340 I never knew such a constant attendant on church as Washington.
00:36:01.460 He greatly assisted me in my pulpit labors.
00:36:04.540 Reverend Uzal Ogden, rector of the Trinity Church, where Washington frequently worshipped, affirmed his faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was unshaken,
00:36:14.700 and he was careful to venerate the precepts and public institutions that holy and divine religion he professed.
00:36:22.160 So, it wasn't just pastors.
00:36:24.920 I mean, I know, you've got, you know, some scholars from today, but John Marshall, the chief justice of the Supreme Court, who had been a military aide to Washington during the revolution,
00:36:38.620 avowed that Washington, quote, was a sincere believer in the Christian faith and a truly devout man.
00:36:44.240 Jeremiah Smith, a soldier in the revolution who served in Congress for six years during Washington's presidency, asserted that Washington had all the genuine mildest of Christianity with all its force.
00:36:57.560 He was neither ostentatious nor ashamed of his Christian profession.
00:37:02.380 And then there was a testimony of Washington's own family members, two of Washington's grandchildren, Nellie Park Custis and George Washington Park Custis.
00:37:12.180 They were adopted into the Washington household after the death of their father.
00:37:16.360 They spent nearly two decades with George and Martha in Mount Vernon.
00:37:21.060 The grandson testified on Sundays, unless the weather was uncommonly severe, the president and Mrs. Washington attended divine service at Christ Church.
00:37:29.820 And in the evening, the president read to Mrs. Washington in her chamber a sermon or some portion of the sacred writings.
00:37:37.460 The granddaughter personally witnessed Washington's religious practices, both private and public, when the Reverend Gerald Sparks, president of Harvard and the editor of the first published edition of the writings of George Washington, asked Nellie about Washington's faith.
00:37:52.060 She said, I should have thought it was the greatest heresy to doubt his firm belief in Christianity, his life, his writings prove that he was a good Christian.
00:38:00.260 Is it necessary that one should certify General Washington avowed himself to be a true believer in Christianity as well may question his patriotism?
00:38:09.700 According to Nellie, one might might as well question Washington's patriotism as his Christianity.
00:38:15.460 And no one seriously questions his patriotism.
00:38:20.840 If you're really, truly interested in historic figures, stop going to the scholars and start looking at what people who knew that person said of that person.
00:38:33.000 Those documents are available.

00:39:52.760 We're glad you're listening.
00:39:54.180 We're glad you're here.
00:39:55.000 Last night on our television show, it was quite eye-opening to see how the left has planned this out.
00:40:09.560 We took the 1776 project and the committee that or commission that Donald Trump put together.
00:40:18.620 Before Biden even arrived at the White House, it was removed from the website.
00:40:24.460 And it was one of the first presidential directives that he signed to demolish the 1776 project.
00:40:34.380 He said it was hateful and divisive and full of inaccuracies.
00:40:40.160 I've read it.
00:40:41.660 I don't know where those inaccuracies are.
00:40:44.060 And I certainly don't find anything divisive in it.
00:40:46.960 But they have something else that over 300 scholars have worked on.
00:40:53.060 And 10 of them are Republican.
00:40:55.320 So it's very, very bipartisan.
00:40:58.520 And it's the new curriculum.
00:41:00.640 And it's a little terrifying.
00:41:02.820 We talked about it last night and show you what to do.
00:41:06.260 You can find that at YouTube on the Blaze YouTube channel.
00:41:09.640 It's my Wednesday night special.

00:41:48.260 Hello, America.
00:41:49.460 There is one thing that we can, I think most of us, agree on.
00:41:54.520 What's happening in our schools, what's happening to our children is extraordinarily dangerous.
00:42:02.020 You know, there might be some bad things that America has done in the past.
00:42:05.600 And there's not, there's no might to it.
00:42:07.380 There's been some really bad things that America has done.
00:42:10.240 But is all of it to be thrown out?
00:42:14.120 Is there no good, no redeeming value?
00:42:16.880 Is there nothing to the Western society?
00:42:20.620 Most people know that there is something good and important about Western society and America's role.
00:42:27.900 When we have our priorities right, when we're not so arrogant, when we're not trying to go fight wars all over the world,
00:42:36.260 when we're just freeing people, when we are letting people do their thing.
00:42:43.620 You know, it's like Thomas Jefferson said, you be you, boo.
00:42:48.460 And I, what?
00:42:50.440 I don't know if he actually said it.
00:42:51.900 No, I learned that.
00:42:53.220 No, I think that's in curriculum now.
00:42:56.280 I'm not.
00:42:56.660 Oh, it is now?
00:42:57.200 Yeah, I think so.
00:42:58.540 Part of Common Core.
00:42:59.760 I'm going to show you what's going on and how not alone you really are and what you need to do.
00:43:11.120 If you want this to stop, if you want some semblance of sanity,
00:43:16.820 it's incumbent upon you to stand in your own local community.
00:43:21.920 I'll tell you about that in 60 seconds.
00:43:27.200 Amazing, amazing news here.
00:43:31.060 I haven't told anybody about this.
00:43:32.340 I'm breaking it right here.
00:43:34.360 It turns out, and I was just shocked as I think you're going to be.
00:43:38.100 I am a close relative of a recently deceased Nigerian prince.
00:43:45.540 I just found this out.
00:43:46.680 Yes, yes.
00:43:47.580 Congratulations.
00:43:48.420 I'm the closest relative.
00:43:50.220 Strangely, strangely closest relative he had.
00:43:53.200 Do you see the resemblance in the photos?
00:43:54.960 No, I don't see any resemblance at all, which is weird.
00:43:58.060 But hey, who am I?
00:43:59.820 Yeah.
00:44:00.220 I mean, I've inherited a fortune.
00:44:01.900 I may not be here tomorrow.
00:44:03.940 So it's awesome.
00:44:05.420 All I have to do is just write a $1,000 check and send it to him because he's got some banking
00:44:10.300 problems right now.
00:44:11.800 Yeah, that happens all the time.
00:44:12.560 Happens all the time.
00:44:13.640 But hey, tomorrow I may not be here.
00:44:16.920 Congratulations.
00:44:17.640 That's big news.
00:44:18.300 Thank you.
00:44:18.720 Thank you.
00:44:19.240 I didn't see that in my family tree, but he contacted me.
00:44:24.720 Oh, he saw it in here.
00:44:25.720 Well, a representative.
00:44:26.960 Yeah.
00:44:27.240 They were tracking me, I'm sure.
00:44:28.600 It was too big of a deal to reach out himself.
00:44:30.320 Now, if you think that all sounds dumb, it's only because it's an old trick.
00:44:34.060 But guess what?
00:44:35.480 There are new tricks being invented by cybercrime criminals all the time.
00:44:39.500 A lot of them happen with COVID.

00:45:17.340 Let me give you some of the headlines.
00:45:21.720 And these are headlines from today.
00:45:25.760 New York City schools encourage kids now to stop using the words mom and dad because they're
00:45:33.940 offensive.
00:45:34.440 California is embracing mandatory racial injustice study for all of its 1.7 million high schoolers.
00:45:44.900 The law school, the law school of Ohio, the Ohio law school has chastised their students
00:45:55.780 for being too white after the release of a study ranking the whitest law schools in America.
00:46:03.180 Okay, I don't think it's this.
00:46:06.060 This is a good practice, by the way.
00:46:07.320 We should be ranking by skin color.
00:46:09.520 Right.
00:46:09.640 That's a good thing for the country to get going again.
00:46:12.780 Can you imagine if this was done in the 1960s or 70s?
00:46:16.120 Well, it was.
00:46:16.820 If this is what was proposed in the 70s, that we start grading everything by how white or
00:46:25.100 how black it is, and we say, if it's black, it's no good.
00:46:30.540 Can you imagine that?
00:46:32.840 That is what they're doing.
00:46:34.100 They're saying it's a bad school if it's white.
00:46:36.900 If it's white.
00:46:37.280 This is terrible.
00:46:39.980 And I thought something we left behind a long time ago.
00:46:42.100 Well, we didn't.
00:46:42.980 And everybody is positioning themselves.
00:46:45.320 Yesterday, I told you, well, let's go with Dr. Seuss.
00:46:49.820 Dr. Seuss, what happened there?
00:46:52.180 The family decided.
00:46:53.880 The estate decided.
00:46:55.520 Now, have you ever seen like the Ford Foundation?
00:46:59.500 Ford Foundation can any of these big funds, they usually go off the rails because the original
00:47:06.960 intent is no longer there.
00:47:10.120 I don't know if this is the case with Dr. Seuss or not.
00:47:12.980 But it's usually a committee or generations past that don't really have the original intent
00:47:20.460 at heart.
00:47:22.380 You're seeing this now with businesses that are also coming out yesterday.
00:47:26.780 What was the story yesterday, Stu, where they came out and they said, oh, Dove and Unilever.
00:47:33.820 They're removing the word normal off of their shampoo when it's marked for normal or dry hair.
00:47:41.380 Now, it's just going to be marked for dry hair.
00:47:45.860 So what's dry or damaged?
00:47:47.460 Yes.
00:47:47.700 This is worse.
00:47:48.420 So why do I what what shampoo do I use?
00:47:50.860 Because I have like normal hair.
00:47:52.520 I don't have any real problems with the hair other than it's falling out.
00:47:55.960 Should I use Gorilla Glue?
00:47:57.580 What do I do?
00:47:58.220 Um, the reason why Unilever did that is because they are preparing now for what are called ESGs,
00:48:08.260 environmental, social justice and governance, governance scores.
00:48:13.260 So if you are not in line with one of those, you're going to get a lower score.
00:48:19.800 So all of these giant corporations are rushing to show how woke they are because they need
00:48:27.320 a high score in the S.
00:48:30.220 Otherwise, they're going to be deemed a risk to the financial system.
00:48:33.900 If you want to learn more about it, you can just watch my shows on Wednesday.
00:48:39.320 Go back and watch last week, the last three weeks of shows starting, what, three weeks
00:48:46.000 ago.
00:48:46.380 Just watch those shows and you'll get an idea of what ESG is and the Great Reset.
00:48:52.620 It's really important because that's why everybody is starting to make these moves.
00:48:57.180 And they're not going to reverse it unless you stand up because they know what's coming.
00:49:05.220 You just don't.
00:49:07.460 UPenn nursing final exam mandates students ask imaginary patient for preferred pronouns.
00:49:13.600 A transgender author has been nominated for the UK Women's Fiction Award.
00:49:19.940 The transgender author nominated for a woman's award.
00:49:24.260 I don't know why women aren't upset at this.
00:49:27.180 I don't know.
00:49:27.820 I mean, you're taking sports away from them.
00:49:31.040 Now, women's author, I guess you could make the case that, you know, men and women.
00:49:37.020 No, you can't even make the case because everybody says they think differently.
00:49:39.660 Yet they're exactly the same.
00:49:41.840 So if a man competes in a in a in a female category, they're not the same.
00:49:46.920 Why should you know, why should they be eligible for that?
00:49:51.260 Because they they took hormones and changed their their parts.
00:49:57.440 That doesn't change the chromosome.
00:49:59.420 That doesn't change.
00:50:00.260 Why are we doing this to women?
00:50:03.620 Anyway, the the next one is the Texas School District apologizes to parents for the assignment of books with graphic sex scenes in them.
00:50:17.180 It's it's worse and worse.
00:50:20.780 Now, I want to show you you're not alone.
00:50:23.720 If you say transgendered athletes should not compete in women's sports.
00:50:28.960 You are not the fringe.
00:50:32.820 You are in the vast majority.
00:50:36.800 If you think that transgender athletes should compete in women's sports, you're on the fringe.
00:50:45.600 And yet that very small group is hurting all of us into a place that none of us want to go.
00:50:53.300 How are they getting away with it?
00:50:57.300 Because they've convinced you a that you don't matter and they've convinced you to be afraid.
00:51:03.860 Let me give you this story from Barry Weiss.
00:51:06.260 Now, she was formerly with The New York Times.
00:51:08.080 She left The New York Times in a very vocal way.
00:51:11.540 She is not a conservative.
00:51:13.960 And she spoke out and said this cancel culture and and political correctness is insane and going to kill us.
00:51:21.200 She's just put out a new article, The Miseducation of America's Elites, that you need to read.
00:51:27.320 She said the dissidents use pseudonyms and turn off their videos when they meet for clandestine Zoom calls.
00:51:33.640 They're usually coordinating soccer practices in carpools.
00:51:37.060 But now they've come together to strategize.
00:51:39.400 They say they could face profound repercussions if anyone knew they were even talking.
00:51:45.120 But the situation of late has become too egregious for emails or complaining on conference calls.
00:51:50.320 So one recent weekend on a leafy street in West Los Angeles, they gathered in person and invited me to join in the backyard behind a four bedroom home.
00:52:01.620 Ten people sat in a circle of plastic Adirondack chairs eating bags of skinny pop.
00:52:07.840 These are the rebels well off Los Angeles parents who send their kids, their children to Harvard Westlake, the most prestigious private school in the city.
00:52:17.620 By normal American standards, they are quite wealthy.
00:52:21.840 But by the standards of Harvard Westlake, their average, these are two career couples who credit their own success,
00:52:28.840 not to family connections or inherited wealth, but to their own education.
00:52:32.840 So it strikes them as something more than ironic that a school that costs more than $40,000 a year,
00:52:40.700 a school with Charlie Munger, Warren Buffett's right hand, and Sarah Murdoch, wife of Lachlan, Rupert Murdoch's daughter-in-law,
00:52:50.900 is on its board and they're teaching students that capitalism is evil.
00:52:55.920 For most parents, the demonization of capitalism is the least of it.
00:52:59.460 They say their children tell them they're afraid to speak up in class.
00:53:03.440 Most of all, they worry about the school's new plan to become an anti-racist institution, unveiled this July.
00:53:11.220 It's making the kids fixate on race and attach importance to it in ways that strike them as grotesque.
00:53:18.860 Quote, I grew up in L.A., and the Harvard school definitely struggled with diversity issues.
00:53:23.820 The stories have expressed since the summer seem totally legitimate, says one of the fathers.
00:53:30.220 He says he doesn't have a problem with the school making greater efforts to redress past wrongs,
00:53:35.000 including by bringing more minority voices into the curriculum.
00:53:38.780 What he has a problem with is this movement that tells his children that America is a bad country
00:53:43.440 and that they bear collective racial guilt.
00:53:46.920 They're making my son, quoting, feel like a racist because of the pigmentation of his skin, one mother says.
00:53:53.000 Another poses a question to the group.
00:53:55.460 How does focusing a spotlight on race fix how kids talk to one another?
00:53:59.820 Why can't they all just be Wolverines?
00:54:02.780 That's Westlake.
00:54:04.540 This Harvard-Westlake parents group is one of the many organizing quietly around the country.
00:54:11.240 Let me say it again.
00:54:12.460 This parents group is one of many organizing quietly around the country
00:54:16.940 to fight what it describes as an ideological movement that has taken over their schools.
00:54:21.640 This story is based on interviews with more than two dozen of these dissenters, teachers, parents, and children
00:54:28.900 at an elite prep school of two of the bluest states in the country, New York and California.
00:54:35.280 The parents in the backyard say that for every one of them, there are many more too afraid to speak up.
00:54:41.520 I've talked to at least five other couples who say, I get it.
00:54:44.460 I think the way you do.
00:54:45.400 I just won't want the controversy right now, related one mother.
00:54:49.380 They're all eager for their story to be told, but not a single one would let me use their name.
00:54:54.300 They worry about losing their jobs or hurting their children if their opposition to this ideology were known.
00:55:00.760 The school can ask you to leave for any reason, said one mother.
00:55:04.920 Then you'll be blacklisted from all the private schools and you'll be known as a racist,
00:55:09.480 which is worse than now being called a murderer.
00:55:12.940 That's a mother in Brentwood.
00:55:16.260 Isn't that interesting?
00:55:18.180 One private school parent born in a communist nation told me,
00:55:23.320 I came to this country escaping the very same fear of retaliation that now my own child feels.
00:55:30.560 Another joke, we need to feed our families.
00:55:32.760 Oh, and pay $50,000 a year to have our children get indoctrinated.
00:55:36.580 A teacher in New York City put it most concisely.
00:55:40.780 To speak against this is to put all of your moral capital at risk.
00:55:46.520 Parents who have spoken out against this ideology, even in private ways, says it hasn't gone over well.
00:55:51.940 I had a conversation with a friend and asked him, is there anything about this movement we should question?
00:55:56.380 A father with children in two prep schools in Manhattan.
00:55:59.120 He said, dude, that's dangerous ground you're on in our friendship.
00:56:02.860 I've had enough of those conversations to know that's what happens.
00:56:06.960 That fear is shared deeply by the children.
00:56:10.340 For them, it's not just the fear of getting a bad grade or getting turned down for a college recommendation,
00:56:15.760 though that fear is potent.
00:56:18.060 The fear of social shaming.
00:56:20.400 If you publish my name, it will ruin my life.
00:56:23.700 People would attack me for even questioning this ideology.
00:56:26.520 I don't want people knowing that I'm a capitalist, a student at Fieldstone School in New York City told me in a comment echoed by other students that I also spoke with.
00:56:37.920 Fieldstone declined to comment.
00:56:40.660 The kids are scared of other kids.
00:56:44.120 The atmosphere is making their children anxious, paranoid and insecure.
00:56:48.060 Closed off even from their close friends.
00:56:50.740 My son knew I if my son knew I was talking to you and he begged me not to, said another Harvard Westlake mother.
00:56:58.360 He wants us to he he wants to go to a great university.
00:57:02.640 And he told me that one bad statement from a parent will ruin me.
00:57:08.480 This is the United States of America.
00:57:10.540 Are you kidding me?
00:57:13.180 These people are starting to gather and stand up.
00:57:17.740 I'm going to introduce you to a couple in San Francisco in a few minutes that are doing this and they are changing the way things are done.
00:57:25.400 Now, I don't necessarily or they don't maybe necessarily agree with everything I say.
00:57:30.020 They live in San Francisco and they are liberal.
00:57:32.900 However, they saw what the school board was standing for and spending all of their time on.
00:57:38.420 And they were like, hey, how about math?
00:57:40.480 What do you say?
00:57:41.580 How about we do some work in school?
00:57:43.360 How about you even open the doors of the school?
00:57:45.320 And they started a little group.
00:57:48.440 It grew to 400 and they've changed things.
00:57:53.240 You are not alone.
00:57:56.420 This is very concerning.
00:57:58.640 And unless somebody starts to gather together and has the guts to do it.
00:58:05.720 Nothing's going to change and it's going to get much, much worse.
00:58:10.060 All right.
00:58:10.740 Our sponsor this half hour is built bar dot com.
00:58:13.880 Oh, man.
00:58:16.200 Oh, built bar is so good.

00:58:23.220 I got to do that.
00:58:24.180 I don't really I don't have to be reminded.
00:58:26.980 Hey, have you had your built bar today?
00:58:29.100 I might be reminded.
00:58:30.580 Hey, is that your sixth built bar today?

00:58:37.160 Built bar, low calorie, low sugar, high protein, high fiber.
00:58:40.640 It's a protein bar, but it tastes like a candy bar and it's healthy for you.
00:58:47.200 Yeah.
00:58:47.680 Made with real chocolate and yet healthier than your average protein bar.
00:58:51.900 Don't give up on your New Year's resolution to lose weight.

00:59:07.260 And station I.D.
00:59:22.260 Fairfax County schools.
00:59:24.740 This is in Virginia.
00:59:26.440 Fairfax County schools recently ditched a merit based admissions process.
00:59:30.900 So if you're going to if you're going to get into the school, you know, merit based, you
00:59:36.660 got to you got you got to be good.
00:59:39.280 You have to have good grades, et cetera, et cetera.
00:59:42.720 Apparently, they're they're ditching that because Asians did too well.
00:59:47.600 I don't.
00:59:49.200 What is this?
00:59:53.140 This is common is what it is.
00:59:55.020 Yeah, Asians do well, not because they're Asian, but because in many cases, the culture
01:00:01.600 that they came from, it might be two generations down the road, but the culture they came from
01:00:08.120 put an emphasis on family, respect and education.
01:00:12.920 Yeah.
01:00:13.260 I mean, people different people have different priorities and different cultures give different
01:00:17.700 results.
01:00:18.100 I was talking about this with Eric July on Studios America the other day and we're talking
01:00:21.540 about the the NBA now, the most desired jobs in the NBA are the players.
01:00:27.660 They get tons and tons of money.
01:00:29.340 They get all the stardom.
01:00:30.420 They get everything else.
01:00:31.200 Everybody wants that job.
01:00:33.140 Every white kid, black kid, any race grows up wanting that gig.
01:00:38.940 If you're an athlete, not you, some people just want to be in theater, but a lot of people
01:00:43.080 want that job yet in a country with 13% of African-American population, something in the
01:00:49.300 neighborhood of 75% of the players are black.
01:00:52.700 Is that racism against white people?
01:00:56.260 Because if we apply their standards, that's the only possible explanation because apparently
01:01:03.200 the NBA hates white people.
01:01:05.500 It's keeping white people out and elevating black people.
01:01:09.420 That obviously is insane, right?
01:01:12.280 For whatever reason, African-Americans tend to outperform white people at basketball and they
01:01:17.960 get all the good jobs.
01:01:19.420 Then we get these complaints that there's not enough black coaches, which is a whole other
01:01:24.320 ridiculous conversation.
01:01:26.440 But the jobs that everybody wants as a kid, everybody plays up or grows up at the playground
01:01:32.740 trying to become the guy who hits the three at the buzzer to win the championship.
01:01:37.500 All of those jobs are going to outsized amount of African-Americans.
01:01:44.140 Should we be complaining that that's racism against whites?
01:01:47.240 I would argue that the answer to that would be no.
01:01:49.640 That would be an insane argument.
01:01:50.980 But if you apply their logic, that would be a sane, rational conversation to have.
01:01:55.940 It is, you know, Google's having a problem right now because they need more women.
01:02:00.520 They need more African-American women that are programmers.
01:02:04.120 I don't know any women that are like, oh, I'm such a computer geek.
01:02:09.320 I mean, I know they're out there, but that's not, you know, guys generally are the geeks on
01:02:16.580 stuff like this.
01:02:18.160 So they have to meet a certain quota.
01:02:21.120 Well, you just have to keep lowering the bar and lowering the bar and lowering the bar of
01:02:24.780 what your qualifications, you know, you have to meet to be able to get a job.
01:02:30.280 Well, that's insane.
01:02:31.700 Yes.
01:02:31.940 That leads to destruction of business, destruction of integrity of thought.
01:02:39.560 It leads to the destruction of the Western way of life.
01:02:43.120 And they know it.
01:02:47.020 This is the Glenn Beck program.
01:02:51.080 How much time do you spend grilling every week?
01:02:54.280 Now, how much time would you spend grilling if you didn't have to stand there the whole
01:02:58.720 time, making sure that nothing is, you know, my old grill, I would, I would tend to leave
01:03:06.260 because it's hot out in Texas during the summer and I would come back and everything would
01:03:12.060 be on fire.
01:03:12.860 I mean, I'd open up just giant flames on everything.
01:03:16.660 I think the burgers are done.
01:03:19.340 Don't have to worry about that anymore because I have a rec tech rec tech.
01:03:24.520 It is, it has smart grill technology.
01:03:27.340 It has revolutionized the way people cook.
01:03:29.880 It grills, it smokes, it even bakes, and it adjusts its own temperature to make sure that
01:03:34.900 you're getting the perfect cook every single time.
01:03:37.760 You can control it from an app on your phone or your device, which is great for the hot
01:03:42.020 days or the cold days when you just want to sit inside in the air conditioning and let
01:03:46.780 the, let the rec tech do the work.
01:03:49.220 Try it out.
01:03:50.360 Do an AB comparison of rec tech to its competitors.

01:04:09.660 We've all heard about the recall of Gavin Newsom, but in San Francisco, there's a group trying
01:04:27.860 to recall the school board.
01:04:31.000 San Francisco schools are out of control and have been out of control all during this pandemic.
01:04:37.100 Uh, it doesn't seem like they're trying to reopen their schools, just rename many of their
01:04:42.880 schools.
01:04:43.820 Uh, two parents decided to, uh, go and listen to what the school board was doing and they
01:04:51.020 didn't like what they saw.
01:04:52.300 And we have them both on the phone.
01:04:55.200 Shiva Raj and, uh, Autumn Loyan.
01:04:58.080 She is the, they both are the co-founders of recall San Francisco school board.
01:05:03.520 Welcome to the program.
01:05:06.320 Thank you.
01:05:06.900 Thank you for having us.
01:05:07.980 You bet.
01:05:08.520 So, um, uh, Autumn, let's start with you.
01:05:11.680 What was, why did you do this?
01:05:13.860 Why did you get involved?
01:05:14.900 What was the first thing that you saw that you were like, we got to stop just sitting
01:05:19.560 on our hands.
01:05:21.220 We moved here in December from other school districts.
01:05:24.600 And I think for me, it was the contrast between the way the school board behaves in my kids'
01:05:31.920 school district and the way, um, the school board here behaves, the way it treats parents
01:05:36.640 and the way it communicates with parents is totally different.
01:05:39.240 And it really bugs me when the people in charge don't take care of and listen to the people
01:05:46.720 who are their constituents.
01:05:48.160 So Raj, they actually, they humiliate, uh, people who question anything they they're doing,
01:05:55.780 don't they?
01:05:57.120 Yeah.
01:05:57.760 It's been really kind of stunning to see them treat parents, um, push parents away.
01:06:03.760 But I mean, I worked on school side councils.
01:06:06.240 I volunteered in schools, uh, and usually schools are like desperate for parents to help
01:06:11.320 out.
01:06:11.620 And, you know, in San Francisco, parents have been really, really eager to roll up our
01:06:14.880 sleeves and help out in every shape possible.
01:06:16.900 You know, we are happy to kind of, you know, move into the schools, clean them up, you know,
01:06:20.800 do up the windows, et cetera.
01:06:22.020 We know that there is a lot of change that's required for the pandemic, uh, for safety,
01:06:26.300 and we are happy to kind of get involved, but they've been pushing us away.
01:06:30.440 They've treated parents who volunteered.
01:06:32.160 For example, there was a gay parent, uh, who volunteered to be on the parent advisory
01:06:36.680 council, which is 50% empty.
01:06:38.740 Um, and they spent two hours just criticizing him in public without even giving him a chance
01:06:43.300 to speak.
01:06:43.800 It was just stunning.
01:06:47.000 They also, and this one drives me nuts because I hear this from all kinds of, um, quote unquote
01:06:53.640 experts that the mental health issues are not a problem.
01:06:59.140 I know I'm dealing with mental health issues with my kids who have not, not been in school
01:07:05.580 up until recently.
01:07:07.340 And you can't do that to children.
01:07:11.020 You can't really do that to people.
01:07:12.860 We are, we are social by nature.
01:07:16.180 Uh, and in San Francisco, they completely deny this, right?
01:07:20.460 I think it's, you know, my oldest son is, is an, is a freshman in high school and his
01:07:26.020 school experience is just very different.
01:07:27.820 He's stares into a blank screen.
01:07:30.440 All his, uh, classmates have the cameras turned off.
01:07:33.660 Right.
01:07:33.880 Right.
01:07:34.140 And so I've seen him actually borderline depressed.
01:07:37.360 Um, he does his entire school from his bed and it's just, you know, for a parent, it's
01:07:42.880 just shattering to see that.
01:07:44.080 And he's just seems to have lost entirely his desire to learn.
01:07:46.960 And he's a good student.
01:07:47.940 I mean, he used to play football.
01:07:49.320 Um, he was very active and extroverted.
01:07:51.700 So, you know, it's just like a complete change in him.
01:07:54.680 And yeah, we've seen, you know, the, for example, one of the commissioners in the school
01:07:58.760 board, just as recently as February was quoted in, you know, San Francisco Chronicle saying,
01:08:03.200 you know, the school closures don't cause mental health issues.
01:08:07.080 They don't cause learning loss.
01:08:08.620 And it's just stunning to see again, that there's no recognition.
01:08:12.000 It's one thing to say that, Hey, you know, we have a pandemic, we have to like account for
01:08:16.100 the safety and we have to do, get this right to get kids back.
01:08:18.700 Uh, we recognize that there are real challenges that both parents and students and teachers
01:08:23.000 are facing.
01:08:23.400 And we want to do the right thing for everyone.
01:08:24.960 It's one thing to say that.
01:08:25.920 And, you know, all of us would have totally supported the school board if that was the
01:08:29.800 kind of attitude we saw, but the, it's been the exact opposite.
01:08:33.160 They seem to be completely blind to an unwilling to recognize the real challenges that students
01:08:38.320 and parents are facing in the school district.
01:08:40.100 So Autumn, what is the, what is the, why?
01:08:43.620 I mean, there's, there's zero public schools in San Francisco that were approved free for
01:08:49.700 reopening as of, uh, February 26th.
01:08:53.660 Zero.
01:08:54.780 Yeah.
01:08:55.320 Yeah.
01:08:55.800 I believe as of today, they have got six out of 108.
01:09:00.680 So what, what was the motivation?
01:09:02.900 Why were they, I mean, you charged that they, they never had any intention at all to open
01:09:07.640 schools this year.
01:09:09.120 Why?
01:09:10.920 I think it just, honestly, I think it just looks like such a big problem.
01:09:15.360 They threw up their hands and they're like, let's just pretend it doesn't exist.
01:09:18.840 I don't know why else you would do that when it's your responsibility to take care of so
01:09:22.060 many children and get them back to school so they can learn.
01:09:24.700 I don't know why else you would not have the school sites ready by, you know, January at
01:09:29.520 the very least when the schools were originally slated to reopen.
01:09:31.660 So you guys went to a school board meeting, you listened to it, and then you started a,
01:09:37.540 I think a Facebook page, if I'm not mistaken.
01:09:40.040 And there are four or 500, uh, families now and parents that are involved in this recall.
01:09:46.600 And what has happened so far?
01:09:49.060 What changes have you seen just by standing up and doing the basic moves?
01:09:53.980 So we have, um, our Facebook group is actually a group for organizing our volunteers and we
01:10:02.380 have over 700 people in there.
01:10:04.100 We have this army of volunteers who help us whenever we want to learn more about an issue
01:10:08.880 or that sort of thing.
01:10:10.880 Yeah.
01:10:11.100 And, um, Shiva, do you want to talk about the movement you've seen?
01:10:16.260 I'm sorry.
01:10:16.920 Go ahead.
01:10:17.220 What was that question?
01:10:17.940 Did you ask me a question?
01:10:19.680 No, no.
01:10:20.300 I was, I was, I was thinking if Shiva wanted to speak too much, much going on since, um,
01:10:24.520 since our recall effort started and, uh, since the school board has also been sued, right?
01:10:29.980 Kind of at the same time.
01:10:31.460 Yes.
01:10:31.920 Um, we have seen a little bit of movement.
01:10:34.460 Um, they are talking about reopening now.
01:10:36.080 They are saying that reopening is their first priority and they're kind of shelving the other
01:10:40.020 issues for now.
01:10:41.700 Um, and those other, those other issues are like the renaming of schools.
01:10:48.820 Yes.
01:10:49.400 Okay.
01:10:49.800 Um, and the, um, and so we've seen, um, I think on April 12th, a few kids are slated to
01:10:57.980 go back in a few schools, so it's not all the great, it's, it's like, I think at 12
01:11:04.360 schools, um, there's a couple of grades that are going back.
01:11:07.960 So that's, that's a little bit of progress.
01:11:10.740 So I just read a story about a couple in Los Angeles or a group of parents now that were
01:11:17.980 meeting, uh, with Barry Weiss, formerly of the New York times.
01:11:21.560 And, uh, they were talking about, you know, you can't use our names.
01:11:26.260 You can't put us, you know, you know, on the record because we will lose.
01:11:31.520 Our kids will suffer from this.
01:11:33.500 There will be a campaign against us.
01:11:35.380 Did that ever concern you or cross your mind?
01:11:39.760 Well, you know, one of the things we saw very early on when we were exploring the recall,
01:11:43.520 which is about, you know, early in Feb after we kind of realized how deep the, deep the issues
01:11:48.780 were with the board is that we saw a lot of parents, um, supportive, a lot of people in
01:11:54.140 the city supported, non-parents too, right?
01:11:56.600 But very few people were actually keen to put their names on a recall because they were
01:12:00.800 afraid.
01:12:01.640 Uh, and that's understandable.
01:12:02.660 You know, I've, I'm afraid I have two kids in the school district and I kind of worry about
01:12:06.740 how they'll get treated if this is not successful, right?
01:12:10.260 Isn't that, I mean, that should be successful.
01:12:12.400 It, it, it, and it, that shouldn't, you shouldn't be afraid.
01:12:15.360 I mean, in democracy, you shouldn't be afraid of holding elected leaders accountable.
01:12:19.460 Right.
01:12:19.960 I mean, I, I, that should tell you everything you need to know on why you need to stand up.
01:12:24.900 If you're afraid now at this shift towards this kind of rule, if you will, you're going
01:12:32.660 to be terrified in 10 years.
01:12:35.300 You can't let this sit.
01:12:37.200 You, you have to stand up or do you think people are becoming more willing to, or we've
01:12:44.400 seen a lot of support for the recall.
01:12:46.100 So Adam kind of talked about some of that.
01:12:48.020 We've seen over 8,000 people sign up.
01:12:50.060 Um, you know, we've had, you know, 30 people put their names on a petition that we just filed
01:12:54.480 with the, uh, city and that note, that notice has been sent to each of the three board members
01:13:00.500 who are eligible for recall right now.
01:13:02.820 Um, you know, who are kind of our focus at this point.
01:13:07.200 Um, and so, so, so there is a growing, and as people see that others are also interested
01:13:12.660 with hundreds in the Facebook group, there is growing talk across the city.
01:13:16.420 You know, we're seeing people like feeling more comfortable, um, you know, talking about
01:13:20.880 it to their friends and to their neighbors, et cetera.
01:13:22.980 So we had a lot of enthusiasm from people saying, Hey, you know, if we have about 7,000
01:13:26.960 people sign up, but if every one of those 10, every one of those 7,000 just got 10 signatures,
01:13:31.440 which is essentially our ask, we will hit the 70,000 we need to, you know, get the recall
01:13:37.680 on the ballot.
01:13:40.300 Well, I am so glad to see you guys, uh, do this and to lead this and to, uh, start to
01:13:48.060 lead the way courage is contagious.
01:13:49.740 And that's why I wanted to have you on.
01:13:52.220 We may not agree on all the issues, but, uh, people have to, yeah, that's exactly right.
01:13:58.780 And people have to stand up for one another and their freedom of speech and, uh, and stop
01:14:04.780 this madness of this local authoritarian style ruling.
01:14:09.820 Thank you so much.
01:14:10.960 I appreciate it.
01:14:12.320 Thank you for having us.
01:14:13.700 You bet.
01:14:14.020 Uh, if you want to go to their website, it's recalls, uh, recall S F school board.org.
01:14:21.780 Uh, and you can also follow them on Twitter at recall S F B O E.
01:14:28.480 Um, we also have a glennbeck.com, something that you need to look at.
01:14:34.940 We have a bunch of groups that you can join all around the country.
01:14:38.620 We have, um, people that are focusing on the teachers unions.
01:14:43.800 Some of them are focusing on school boards.
01:14:46.280 Some of them are focusing on parents.
01:14:50.060 We must make this a priority.
01:14:53.500 The, there is poison being shoveled into our children.
01:14:57.880 If the schools aren't back yet, why, why are they not back yet?
01:15:05.480 They have destroyed a year of our children's learning and education.
01:15:11.260 They've set them way back.
01:15:13.360 How much has this cost us in, in their future abilities when they're 18 years old?
01:15:20.960 Nobody's talking about that.
01:15:22.520 Nobody's talking about the, the physical damage that is being done.
01:15:26.160 Not only the mental, all kinds of damage is being done.
01:15:31.060 And then when they do open up, they're shoveling garbage into them.
01:15:35.080 This critical race theory.
01:15:36.680 If you happen to be against that, we'll help you, uh, start working together and start, uh, networking with people in your own area and people who have done this.
01:15:48.320 And we're also working on a few things to help you with attorneys.
01:15:52.540 If you start to have real problems and you're fired or whatever, because you speak out, we'll have more on that.
01:15:58.780 But you can check out the initial things at glennbeck.com.
01:16:03.000 Now did a whole show on this last night.
01:16:05.900 You can watch it on YouTube.
01:16:07.180 If you're not a subscriber, we do ask that you would, you would join us here.

01:16:20.760 Our sponsor this half hour is American financing.
01:16:24.080 This whole past year has seen a dramatic decrease in mortgage rates throughout the housing industry.
01:16:30.200 And during that time, I've advised you to please check out American financing, see if they can save you a bundle of money.
01:16:38.820 I mean, we're talking hundreds of dollars, sometimes over a thousand dollars a month, especially if you're getting rid of your high interest credit cards.
01:16:46.440 So while you're at it and you're looking for refinancing of your own, uh, your own mortgage, also ask them about bundling, you know, other debts that you might have into that mortgage and you don't have to restart your loan.
01:17:00.860 This is a really good way to have one payment, low interest rate and save a buttload of money.
01:17:08.720 I want you to call them right now.
01:17:11.080 Call them at 800-906-2440.
01:17:15.060 I invite you to see what I see in these people.
01:17:18.120 Just, just work with them.
01:17:20.060 They work for you, not the big banks.

01:17:43.820 Music
01:17:45.060 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:17:54.240 Uh, last night on, uh, TV, I was, I was highlighting some books that have been changed, uh, and showed you the progress of that.
01:18:02.960 The autobiography of Booker T. Washington is just that, an autobiography of a guy who started the Tuskegee School, changed people's lives, changed the direction of, uh, of America, and is now deemed to be a fictional character.
01:18:24.680 Everything in this book, according to the copyright now, everything in this book, all characters, are fictional and not based on anyone real.
01:18:35.300 Well, it's an autobiography, and the name, the word autobiography has come, come off now, the front cover of, uh, Booker T. Washington's Up From Slavery.
01:18:45.420 It is a must-read. It is a must-read. But you have to begin to find those books that are really important to American history.
01:18:53.440 Up From Slavery is one of those books. Uh, and get an older copy of it.
01:18:58.760 You know, I know some people are saying that they want to get an encyclopedia. Go ahead and get the new encyclopedia, but I would definitely get one before 1970 as well.
01:19:11.320 Um, things began to change in the, uh, in the 1920s, the 1950s, the 1970s, and now they're completely at warp speed on this.
01:19:25.040 Uh, I would, I would, you don't have to spend a lot of money, but I would gather up as many things that you think are important, all the way from, you know, Curious George to Democracy in America by de Tocqueville.
01:19:40.840 We showed you last night, the new edition with a third of the page size and just slightly smaller font is about the third of a, uh, of the size of the, of the actual unedited book.
01:19:57.820 And the point of de Tocqueville is what he found here. He was, he was looking for justice. He was from France. He was a, uh, a justice guy and he was looking, how do we rule in courts? How do we, how do we bring justice?
01:20:15.140 And so he came over here to study America. When he got here, he couldn't find out. He couldn't figure out what the secret was. There were fewer arrests. There were fewer murderers. What, what was happening here?
01:20:28.480 And it wasn't until he started going to the churches that he found the answer. And he started listening how people were talking open openly about God and, uh, and, and the miracles of God and our responsibilities to God that he realized that's the difference.
01:20:44.320 And it's where our uniqueness has always come from. All of that's edited out into Tocqueville's, uh, democracy in America. You, you've got to get the original versions of things. Otherwise your kids will be reading them and go, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait, what was the point of this? Why did I read this? And I don't think that that is, uh, I don't think that's a coincidence.
01:21:14.320 More in a minute.
01:21:44.320 This is the Glenn Beck program.
01:21:50.320 In the great state of Colorado, there is a Senate bill. Uh, it's 21, one 32, and it will establish a digital communications division and digital communications commission to regulate online speech,
01:22:07.340 specifically targeting fake news,
01:22:08.340 specifically targeting fake news, intentional disinformation, and conspiracy theories with the goal of eliminating those practices.
01:22:18.780 There's no provided definitions of those terms. We're getting a state Senator of Colorado pulled off the floor so he can speak to us.
01:22:29.340 Is there a chance that AOC's dream of a truth commission or Orwell's warning of the ministry of truth is actually coming to an American state?
01:22:42.560 We'll find out in 60 seconds. Stand by.
01:22:45.400 So my pillow is the best pillow I've ever slept on. And it is, it is something that I would never have bought at the store because I wouldn't have believed it.
01:22:57.620 Uh, and it was given to me as a gift by Mike Lindell and I had to meet him one day and I had the pillow and I hated it because it was a smaller size.
01:23:07.020 But do you think maybe a little smaller? And I hated it, hated it. And I was dreading meeting with him all day. Cause I was going to tell him I hate it.
01:23:15.360 He said, you have the wrong size. He sent me another one. And I reluctantly tried it out and I love it. I sleep with it every single night. His sheets.
01:23:23.780 My wife loves the sheets. I love the sheets. They're really, really super soft. So now what could make your sleep even better?

01:24:27.600 Senator on. We, uh, have now Colorado, Colorado state Senator Jerry Sonnenberg. Hello, Jerry. How are you?
01:24:37.660 Good afternoon or morning, sir. It's a pleasure to be with you from the Petri dish of the Democrat party.
01:24:44.500 Throw stuff against the wall here to see if it works. So they, before they go nationwide, what happened to Colorado?
01:24:50.760 I mean, it was, I mean, it was a state that I would have loved to live in. It is beautiful there and it's gone crazy.
01:25:00.400 It, it, it has, it, uh, it is, uh, it has turned into the middle coast of the East and West coast, uh, liberal bend.
01:25:10.740 And, uh, uh, we're, we're struggling here in Colorado and then what's happening with, uh, with all the attacks on our freedoms and liberties.
01:25:19.000 So it's, it's not liberal. This is gone. This is insane. Now what they're talking about. There is a new bill out. I know you're aware of it. Senate bill 21, one 32 for a digital communications division.
01:25:32.760 Tell me what this bill actually is.
01:25:35.400 Well, the interesting part is the bill is being run by the person that wants to take out Congressman Boebert, uh, that has announced for that congressional district.
01:25:47.100 And what she wants to do is allow the governor to appoint a five member commission with no requirements on political balance, no requirements on any balance whatsoever.
01:25:59.780 And then that commission has the ability to determine what is, uh, uh, hate speech.
01:26:07.560 What is fake news? Uh, they make all of those determinations and then confine you.
01:26:14.600 They can also set up fees to all social media platforms, which quite frankly might even include, uh, uh, blogs after a news story, uh, from, uh, from a media, uh, whenever somebody makes a comment on social media, that would be regulated by this commission.
01:26:36.500 I mean, is there outrage in Colorado about this? I mean, it seems pretty, you know, Moscow, 1962.
01:26:48.880 Uh, this, this does seem stolen, doesn't it? Absolutely. Uh, there, there is outrage from my side of the aisle, but it's interesting that it's not being condemned, uh, or pushed back against by our governor, uh, or leadership.
01:27:06.480 In either chamber, uh, they're just kind of Latin and slide. I don't know if they're supportive, but they sure haven't come out and opposed it. So you got to assume that they support this type of effort of squashing our first amendment, uh, uh, rights, free speech by their silence.
01:27:25.500 Well, I will tell you, they're serious about it in Washington, DC. Why wouldn't they be serious about it? You know, in Colorado, is there, is there any chance this passes?
01:27:36.480 I honestly don't think so, but you know, it depends. Yeah. Here's what I'll tell you.
01:27:45.340 It's 2021 Democrats. Yeah. The Democrats have not come out and said they oppose it. They have not come out and said that this is bad policy. So I don't know if it will die or not.
01:27:58.440 I, uh, the truth is I'd like to have it. I hope it lives through committee and actually gets to the Senate floor. So we have a discussion and we can hear all of the Democrats talk about how they want to squash free speech.
01:28:13.520 I don't think that'll happen. I actually think if, if, if, if their leadership is smart, they can't afford to let this go to the floor. Uh, they have to kill this attack on our first amendment.
01:28:24.840 As is there any pushback from the people of Colorado on things like critical race? Are you hearing from parents or, or anybody about trying to stand the line against some of these things?
01:28:39.040 Uh, absolutely. And interestingly enough, uh, uh, Colorado, rural Colorado, especially has become outraged, uh, where they have been tried to stay isolated, just do their work in agriculture.
01:28:53.040 And those types of things have now become outraged and are rallying and getting involved. Uh, so, uh, Colorado, especially the rural parts of the state have been awakened. And, uh, I want to say that they probably have awakened the sleeping giant, uh, even though they're small in numbers, uh, they will have a strong, strong voice as this moves forward.
01:29:20.360 I will tell you, it is the giant cities and the cities with all the universities and usually the state capital that becomes so infected and they are leaving all of the people in, uh, the rural areas way behind. It's, it's, I mean, you think if you listen to the media, it's that we can't talk to one another. Uh, and I don't know if that's necessarily true, but with the policies that are being pushed now by the extreme far, uh,
01:29:50.360 left and what's happening in Washington, uh, left and what's happening in Washington, we don't have much left in common. Uh, if you're in a big city and you're talking to somebody who lives in, you know, rural Colorado or rural Wyoming or Texas, you just, you don't understand each other.
01:30:07.280 Uh, you're exactly right. Uh, it wasn't that long ago that, uh, our urban cousins had a generation that was still on the farm, whether it was an uncle or a grandparent out in rural areas of some state. So they had some tie.
01:30:22.880 We don't have that anymore. And interestingly enough, uh, the voice is shrinking because you look at as, as legislators are based on population. I represent alone in my Senate district, 20% of the entire landmass of Colorado. That makes it very hard to get a rural message to my urban cousins and the urban legislators.
01:30:48.260 It is, uh, if you're, if you're running or representing 20% of the landmass, uh, you have to be affected by what the government is doing with BLM land and, and the gobbling up of, of state land that they've been told twice by the Supreme court to send it back to the states. It belongs to the states. There's no intention of doing anything except to what it seems to me, roping that land off and not allowing the states to do anything with it.
01:31:15.620 Uh, absolutely. And what we're seeing now is, uh, the attempts to try and, uh, uh, benefit all of the country through mineral production, uh, on federal lands, uh, that's being shut down as well. So, uh, and then you can see it at the gas pump, uh, gas now is 70 cents higher than it was in January here in Colorado.
01:31:38.660 Uh, I mean, uh, it's pretty easy to figure out what that's attributed to.
01:31:43.920 Yeah. Thank you so much, Jerry. I appreciate it. That is a state Senator Jerry Sonnenberg from Colorado. Uh, and, uh, if you see any movement on this Senator, if you wouldn't mind just, uh, reaching out in case we miss it, otherwise we'll be watching it as well and reach back out to you.
01:32:00.140 Absolutely. I look forward to talking to you again soon. Thank you. And I'll keep you informed.
01:32:05.360 You bet. All right. Our sponsor this half hour is gold gold line. The largest U S financial institutions are out to win no matter how many American, you know, average retailers are out there and retail investors that
01:32:22.140 they have to step over to get there. They've been doing this for a very long time and they're not changing anytime soon. They are willing to take enormous risks because they know our money will bail them out.
01:32:35.660 And we are currently with your tax dollars, your money that you're on the hook for. We're bailing these big banks out. You know what I love is the fed is actually the five largest banks in the country.
01:32:48.560 We pretty much know who they are. We don't have verification, but we pretty much know who they are. So they're deciding to print more money to give that money to themselves.
01:32:59.460 You just, when they're wearing their banker hat, not the fed hat, and then they're taking that money and they're investing it in big corporations on wall street.
01:33:07.560 And then they're making all of the financial rules outside of Washington, but in cahoots with Washington, they're making the financial rules so they can decide which companies make it and which companies don't.
01:33:20.160 They're going to get rich off of all of this.
01:33:23.400 Please, I want you to call gold line now and see if, if gold or silver is right for you.
01:33:33.800 They have a great special right now with every tube of certified gold Liberty coins.
01:33:38.880 You're going to get five brilliant uncirculated Kennedy silver half dollars at no additional charge.
01:33:44.620 These are the same exact coins that I have purchased in the past from gold line.
01:33:49.900 They're the only company that I trust to do business with call gold line now at eight, six, six, gold line, eight, six, six, gold line or gold line.com gold line.com.
01:34:01.320 They're waiting for your call now.
01:34:03.400 10 seconds station ID.
01:34:04.460 You know, the, uh, the daily wire asked a good question yesterday.
01:34:20.920 If Donald Trump was a Nazi for detaining migrant children, what does that make Joe Biden?
01:34:29.100 Albert Speer, a well-meaning Nazi.
01:34:32.100 Right.
01:34:32.820 Right.
01:34:33.260 The good Nazi.
01:34:33.840 Yeah, the good Nazi.
01:34:34.720 He's the good Nazi.
01:34:36.240 I don't know.
01:34:36.780 That's interesting.
01:34:37.340 I don't think you can come out and criticize him if you're the media.
01:34:40.760 You, you had to say that the idea behind Trump was that he was uniquely bad, not just bad, but uniquely bad.
01:34:48.480 And when Donald Trump was putting kids in cages, as they said, and we found out a lot of the pictures of that were from the Obama administration, they just seemed to sort of blow by that.
01:35:02.640 And try to find little distinctions between the policies.
01:35:05.080 And I assume they'll try the same thing here.
01:35:07.720 But when you have the same administration, I mean, Biden was part of the Obama administration.
01:35:12.380 When you have the same people sandwiched around Trump doing the things that they said Trump was uniquely terrible for doing.
01:35:21.740 How do you have any credibility on this?
01:35:23.660 You have none.
01:35:23.800 You have none.
01:35:24.220 But you have the press that is, you know, running cover for you.
01:35:28.220 Yeah.
01:35:28.240 Just there's nobody that is there's, by the way, anyone in the Border Patrol that would like the story told and would like to be able to show the pictures.
01:35:40.960 I was the guy down in the border in under Obama that talked about the cages, tried to get.
01:35:48.100 I personally called people like Chuck Todd and said, you've got to cover this.
01:35:53.600 This is this is beyond politics.
01:35:56.100 This is kids being kept in cages.
01:35:59.100 There was no interest in the media.
01:36:02.640 I was interested in it under Obama.
01:36:06.060 I was interested in it under Trump and I'm interested in it today.
01:36:11.280 We are doing horrible things down on the border because no one will talk about it and they they don't really care.
01:36:20.120 Otherwise, they'd be down there now.
01:36:21.880 They only cared about it because it was a tool for politics.
01:36:24.940 They don't care about these children.
01:36:27.700 Otherwise, you'd have a sad looking AOC at the get the fence looking in thinking this is the Holocaust.
01:36:35.620 This is literally a concentration camp.
01:36:38.120 I could get that sort of thing.
01:36:39.700 Wow.
01:36:39.720 Is that a clip from her?
01:36:40.700 Yeah, it was pretty good.
01:36:41.900 Literally, literally a concentration camp.
01:36:44.880 Like I was I was one time I pushed I flipped a switch over my sink and it made this really loud sound.
01:36:53.840 There's like a monster in there eating something.
01:36:56.200 It's like eating metal inside of my sink.
01:36:58.380 Right.
01:36:58.680 Does everybody have one of these?
01:37:00.300 I've never even heard of it.
01:37:01.580 They say that it's a garbage disposal.
01:37:03.500 It's all yes.
01:37:05.880 Yes.
01:37:06.300 Yes.
01:37:06.700 It's old technology.
01:37:08.760 It's old technology.
01:37:09.320 You're doing great here in life and everything.
01:37:11.880 But yeah, no, it's it's obviously hypocritical.
01:37:14.920 One of the things that would be helpful here and would at least give us someone else to criticize about it.
01:37:19.240 If they didn't ask questions was would be if the media actually had an opportunity to talk to Joe Biden and ask him these questions every day.
01:37:27.440 And maybe that's about as much as he said so far.
01:37:32.980 My hat.
01:37:36.360 Your hat.
01:37:37.360 Yeah.
01:37:37.640 So the point here is if there were actually press conferences, maybe he could hold one considering he's already set the record today.
01:37:47.440 Earlier this week, they said that Thursday would be he would give a give a speech primetime address.
01:37:55.480 Yeah, an address and then he would take questions now he may maybe he takes a question or two.
01:38:02.600 I don't know, but he's not done a formal press conference, which is the standard.
01:38:05.960 We hold presidents to every single one of them for the past hundred years has done one by this time in his presidency.
01:38:12.280 Every single one.
01:38:13.180 And Joe Biden would know because he was there for all hundred years.
01:38:15.800 I'm just coming down the stairs now.
01:38:21.820 I'm just riding in that little chair they installed.
01:38:26.780 Hang on.
01:38:27.520 It'll take me a second to get to the bottom of the stairs.
01:38:32.620 You know, when Jill said she was going to put me in a home, I didn't know it'd be this nice.
01:38:41.260 And they're very nice here.
01:38:42.900 They they give me my pills and some of the people here are delusional.
01:38:49.540 This this kind of black lady comes by.
01:38:53.840 She says she's going to be president in just a few weeks.
01:38:57.800 And they're delusional.
01:39:00.360 Help me.
01:39:01.180 Help me.
01:39:06.920 My head.
01:39:08.960 I think that would be important to hear.
01:39:11.440 I think we should all know if the president is there or not.
01:39:16.900 You know what I mean?
01:39:18.360 Yeah.
01:39:18.740 And, you know, he continually.
01:39:21.660 Right.
01:39:22.140 Goes down these roads where he these this builds and builds and builds.
01:39:27.320 He flubs something here.
01:39:28.860 He flubs something there in a public appearance.
01:39:31.080 Everyone gets a little bit more worried.
01:39:32.400 And then he's able to kind of piece a sentence or two together.
01:39:35.500 And everyone's like, OK, well, I guess he's OK again.
01:39:37.940 And that's not the standard we should have for the president.
01:39:40.560 And it's not about it's not about anything other than what are our allies and our enemies
01:39:49.340 thinking.
01:39:49.920 If our enemies think that our president is in double Duma hat, there's a problem.
01:39:58.500 There's a real problem.
01:40:00.300 And to be very clear here, I am not advocating for Joe Biden to step down.
01:40:05.960 I want Joe Biden to serve every day.
01:40:09.900 Every day of this term.
01:40:11.720 Every day.
01:40:12.400 I do not want Kamala Harris in that job.
01:40:15.700 And I know Biden's going to be terrible, but I want him to be there every single day
01:40:20.680 until January 20th, 2025, which is a terrible, hard thing to say.
01:40:28.720 But I want him there every day until then.
01:40:30.820 If they have to give him a shot of cocaine to keep him lucid.
01:40:36.140 Fine.
01:40:36.680 I'm fine.
01:40:37.020 If they need to put like a little like, you know, a little those dolls used to have a
01:40:41.760 box, you know, you pull out and it'd be like the cow goes moo.
01:40:45.420 If they need to put a box in that and just somebody stand behind him pulling a string the
01:40:49.260 whole time.
01:40:49.780 I'm also fine with that.
01:40:51.640 I want this president to serve his entire term.
01:40:54.320 Yes.
01:40:54.700 So I 100 percent don't want him out of.
01:40:58.360 Oh, my God.
01:40:59.100 I do not want him out of office in any way.
01:41:01.560 However, that being said, you have to have questions as to whether he is capable of doing
01:41:10.120 this and questions and these giant one point nine trillion dollar bills that are being
01:41:15.380 passed.
01:41:15.980 Did I just put a load in my pants?
01:41:18.340 Are you saying you can't control your I'm I'm not.
01:41:23.040 I just ask a question.
01:41:24.340 I wasn't making a statement.
01:41:26.260 Oh, OK.
01:41:26.980 Questions.
01:41:28.100 Don't think that's a good question to ask, frankly.
01:41:31.560 I just I don't know.
01:41:34.300 I don't know where he's going to.
01:41:36.360 I don't know where he goes from here.
01:41:37.740 What is he at some?
01:41:38.780 They said he may may be able to get a press conference in by the end of the month, which
01:41:44.280 is 20 days away.
01:41:46.000 He puts logs on.
01:41:47.340 I like to put logs on fires.
01:41:49.900 Should I do in a round room that they put me in?
01:41:54.700 I was a little afraid when Jill said I'm going to be in a round room.
01:41:59.340 But this one doesn't have any padding.
01:42:01.560 Hmm.
01:42:02.240 And I like fire.
01:42:03.700 I put logs on fire.
01:42:06.620 Did you see that story?
01:42:08.140 They were so that's that was the he goes to bed or I go to bed very early for in the
01:42:16.180 afternoon.
01:42:16.700 But I get up early.
01:42:18.680 I get up at 10 a.m.
01:42:20.200 The next day.
01:42:22.060 And he likes to put logs on the fire.
01:42:24.540 OK, that's that's not making me feel better.
01:42:27.280 OK, no, it's not making you know, if he's out back chopping the logs, chopping them.
01:42:33.180 He goes out.
01:42:34.080 He goes out to the forest every weekend and he's chopping logs.
01:42:37.360 And those are the logs he wants to use on fire.
01:42:39.560 That's a story.
01:42:41.100 Me like put log on fire myself is not helpful.
01:42:46.340 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:44:27.500 Congressman Chip Roy is quickly working his way up on the Glenn Beck Program favorite congresspeople list.
01:44:37.260 Welcome to the program.
01:44:39.020 Chip, how are you, sir?
01:44:39.820 Well, that's a pretty low bar to make work on that list.
01:44:44.560 Well, no, not everybody.
01:44:46.120 We don't have a very long list to be on the list, really.
01:44:50.720 It's like it's an honor just to be nominated.
01:44:54.500 But let's talk about what's happening on our southern border.
01:44:58.800 And I would like to just put this out there.
01:45:02.280 I'd sure like to go down with you and a camera crew and and see and show what's really happening on the border, especially with those cages, which I talked about during the Obama administration.
01:45:15.860 It's not getting better.
01:45:18.180 It's getting worse.
01:45:20.880 Well, Glenn, you're absolutely right.
01:45:22.340 And I'm happy to take up on that.
01:45:24.140 In fact, I got a trip coming up in a few days.
01:45:26.600 Happy to talk to your producer, see if that works.
01:45:28.660 If not, we might have some more coming up in the future.
01:45:30.760 You know, the district I represent gets within about 100 miles of the district.
01:45:34.060 My friend Tony Gonzalez obviously has a whole bunch of it.
01:45:36.160 But I'm going to be going down to Laredo.
01:45:38.480 I'm going to be going down to McAllen, Brown.
01:45:40.400 So look, for your listeners, I mean, most of your listeners are well informed.
01:45:43.520 They know how bad it is.
01:45:44.480 But however bad they think it is, it's worse.
01:45:47.880 And it's all purposeful.
01:45:49.140 This is this is President Biden either purposely and willingly seeking to avoid his constitutional duty to secure the border in order to get some crass political gain out of seeming like they're compassionate.
01:46:01.800 Or it's frankly just wrote incompetence on his part and inability to comprehend how bad his policies are, endangering the American people, empowering cartels.
01:46:12.000 And Glenn, I'll say this as believers, as people of faith, you know, we we're compassionate for the immigrants who seek to come here.
01:46:19.240 I know you are.
01:46:19.920 I've heard you talk about it.
01:46:20.880 So am I.
01:46:21.360 And we've got people who are being used as political pawns who are being endangered, children, families, women and children being endangered and abused by cartels on the journey.
01:46:32.180 And now you've got these these facilities packed with unaccompanied children in and packed in there because of the policies of Biden, which, by the way, they were mocking the last two or three years.
01:46:44.000 President Trump's policies, which he was doing to exercise to minimize the danger and push back and work with Mexico and use Title 42 to stop the flow.
01:46:54.120 What we have right now is 100,000 apprehensions in February.
01:46:57.600 That is an extraordinary number.
01:46:58.920 So you have that confirmed now, because I heard that they hadn't come out with a number yet.
01:47:03.780 You can confirm that 100,000?
01:47:06.060 I can confirm that both from sources that I know full well, but it's probably even more than that.
01:47:11.540 But also, he put out officially yesterday the number that it was over 100,000.
01:47:16.680 Now, here's the number that's not public and not official.
01:47:18.840 But I'll tell you, people in DHS sources that they have had about 11,000 people were caught and released in January and February.
01:47:28.300 Because of overcrowded facilities, they're literally just catching and releasing.
01:47:31.940 They're turning DHS into essentially a welcome center in which cartels are empowered and people are then abused in the process.
01:47:39.220 And frankly, it's disgusting what the Biden administration is doing.
01:47:42.980 Even the Mexican officials have come out just recently, and they were not a fan necessarily of Trump and all of his policies, but they even said America has got to get this under control.
01:47:55.580 It is empowering, and it's becoming a bigger business and a bigger moneymaker for the drug cartels than drugs.
01:48:04.260 Well, and the worst part about it is, is you're absolutely right.
01:48:08.360 They're profiting obscenely, moving human beings for profit, like $7,000 a head, sometimes $20,000, depending on where they come from in the world.
01:48:16.460 And then you've got the drug problem that is now exacerbated and made worse because our border patrol are being turned into caretakers trying to figure out how to manage all these people in these facilities.
01:48:26.120 And their eyes are off the ball in terms of between ports of entry, and now they're moving vast quantities of narcotics, fentanyl, and now we've got an addiction problem in this country, the opioid addiction, which gets worse because cartels are exploiting it and running these dangerous narcotics through our border.
01:48:41.920 All because Biden wants to say in the false name of compassion that his policies are somehow pro-immigrant, and it's a lie.
01:48:48.760 It's a dangerous lie.
01:48:50.660 And look, in Texas, we're feeling it.
01:48:52.840 High-speed chases, people's homes getting broken into.
01:48:56.120 The mayor of Del Rio put out a plea to the Biden administration.
01:48:59.420 This is a Hispanic Democrat in Del Rio saying, Mr. President, please do your job to secure the border.
01:49:06.360 Henry Cuellar, Vicente Gonzalez, these are congressmen from Texas who are saying to the president,
01:49:12.480 your administration is failing and not doing your job to actually do what needs to be done to make the border work.
01:49:17.500 So it's unfortunate, but I think and hopefully the American people are going to see it.
01:49:22.560 But, of course, the mainstream media, they're not going to report it like they were when Alexandria was down there lying about kids drinking out of toilets or kids in cages.
01:49:29.980 So, Congressman, why is Biden not aware?
01:49:36.940 Is he plugged into enough stuff, or is there something else going on?
01:49:43.520 You know, this is, I think, a $64,000 question.
01:49:47.480 The Joe Biden of a decade ago, however liberal that he is and was, and he was, you and I have opposed him for decades.
01:49:53.940 But I don't think the Biden of a decade ago, in fact, if you look at the policies under Obama-Biden,
01:49:58.920 as bad as they were, they were nothing like this.
01:50:01.360 I think that he is being bullied and, frankly, just steamrolled because of, frankly, a certain level of either competence or engagement that isn't there,
01:50:11.280 at least as it used to be, and that now the policies are, frankly, really troubling.
01:50:15.480 Because I don't think an American president would ever willingly look at this border and say to the American people,
01:50:21.880 it's secure, there is no crisis.
01:50:23.340 But he's allowing his DHS secretary to say that.
01:50:25.600 And he's, frankly, this is the guy who, two days ago, referred to the Secretary of Defense as that guy who runs that outfit over there.
01:50:36.280 I mean, this is extremely troubling.
01:50:39.540 And I think that what we're seeing right now is the radical lefts take advantage of a weak president
01:50:44.500 and use it to jam through an unbelievably horrid agenda for crass political purposes.
01:50:50.720 And the blood is on their hands for doing it.
01:50:52.360 So this is why people have dropped listening to news.
01:50:58.340 They've they've they're just they're unplugging because the problems are getting way too big.
01:51:04.800 And it doesn't seem like anybody is either interested in doing something or people like you can't can't get things.
01:51:14.100 Can't get things rammed through because even your own party at times doesn't support the ideas of of people.
01:51:21.120 They believe in the Constitution.
01:51:23.100 What is the solution here?
01:51:25.340 Well, you're not wrong about, frankly, that some of the default falls on Republicans who for too long were ignoring the problem at the border
01:51:32.940 instead of doing what we should have done when we have majorities to do it.
01:51:36.180 But here we sit and we're looking at what's happening.
01:51:38.860 And so what we need to do is be faithful people.
01:51:41.100 Know that now that that that the veil is being lifted for the American people.
01:51:44.360 They're seeing the radical left on full display, not just at our borders, but at our schools where teacher genes are getting paid not to work or to teach America, teach our kids that America is evil.
01:51:52.720 The veil is being lifted.
01:51:54.100 We got a target 2022 and 2024.
01:51:56.600 And right now, turn to your governors, turn to your states, make them particularly border states.
01:52:01.760 And Texas is one, obviously, that I'm proud to live in.
01:52:04.400 And, you know, Governor Abbott mentioned or launched his Lone Star project last week to try to, you know, empower DPS.
01:52:12.260 Remember, during the Obama years, Texas spent almost a billion dollars working to try to secure the border ourselves using DPS, even though it's a full federal responsibility.
01:52:21.560 States are going to need to start pushing back on a federal government that is not just ignoring the borders, but they're trying to take their guns away.
01:52:27.380 They're defunding police.
01:52:28.540 There's passing two trillion dollar bills that remake your health care system.
01:52:32.460 They're running away from Israel.
01:52:34.020 They're empowering Iran.
01:52:35.620 They're moving a radical agenda across that green agenda coming right down our throats in the bureaucracy.
01:52:41.260 So we're going to fight at the state level and the American people need to make this fix this in 2022.
01:52:48.360 Congressman, anything we can do to help you, you please let us know.
01:52:52.800 The audience is eager for something that actually will make a difference.
01:52:57.060 And I've been preaching to this, you know, the same the same message from this pulpit every day that it has to be fixed locally and every state has to stand against this onslaught.
01:53:10.500 What was passed in H.R.
01:53:12.280 One is completely unconstitutional, completely unconstitutional.
01:53:18.000 And that stops anything from happening in 2022 or 2025 or four.
01:53:23.200 Well, Glenn, let me just say to any of your listeners out there in West Virginia, Arizona and other states with senators that need to listen, burn their phones down that they not pass H.R.
01:53:32.500 One, that they not get rid of the filibuster and they hold the line on this ridiculous federalization of our election.
01:53:36.900 And if you're in a state like Texas or, frankly, any state, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin, Arizona, any of the places that had issues last year, burn down the doors of your legislative, the phones of your legislators to make sure they know you want to see election reform at the state level, too.
01:53:51.460 We're going to fight H.R.
01:53:52.340 One.
01:53:52.760 We'll keep fighting.
01:53:53.680 We'll get back in power in 2022 and try to fix some of this.
01:53:56.640 But states need to lead the way.
01:53:58.080 So get them to pass legislation.
01:53:59.640 We're working on an effort to do that and set the principles out to encourage states to fix this.
01:54:03.540 Representative Chip Roy from the great state of Texas and Washington, D.C.
01:54:08.380 Stay safe, my friend.
01:54:09.500 Thank you so much.
01:54:10.820 God bless you.
01:54:11.320 Go on.
01:54:11.460 Take care.
01:54:11.620 You bet.
01:54:16.540 Patriot Mobile wants to remind you that there's an option out there.
01:54:21.440 It used to be the case that you were stuck with one mobile carrier company or the other because, you know, you'd get stuck with something that didn't have the service and the coverage that you didn't want.
01:54:33.540 Well, that's not the case anymore.
01:54:37.440 Patriot Mobile has the same service that everybody else does, and it's because they're using the same cell towers.
01:54:47.040 So call Patriot Mobile and see the difference.
01:54:51.240 You'll see the difference in price.
01:54:52.940 You'll see the difference in customer service.
01:54:55.820 Patriot Mobile is great now.
01:54:59.400 They're great because they save you money.
01:55:01.320 They're great because they give you the same service, maybe even a little better.

01:55:09.640 You can you can keep your phone, keep your number or change it all if you want.
01:55:16.840 And they don't donate to Planned Parenthood.
01:55:21.100 That's kind of a big deal.
01:55:22.940 Did you know your mobile carrier most likely is making huge donations to things like Planned Parenthood?
01:55:28.980 Get out of the system.

01:55:44.220 Patriot Mobile dot com slash back.
01:55:46.760 This is the Glenn Beck program.
01:55:57.320 A year ago, we were freaked out for entirely different reasons.
01:56:03.120 We were freaked out because this is the one year anniversary of the WHO coming out and saying it is a pandemic.
01:56:10.100 And when they said that, we didn't know what that meant.
01:56:15.360 I mean, remember, there were like millions and millions of people could die.
01:56:19.580 Two million people could die in America in the next year.
01:56:24.000 And they're like, whoa, wait, what?
01:56:26.380 Yeah, that hadn't that number.
01:56:27.460 I don't think was out there yet, but it was we were it was a total unknown.
01:56:31.800 And the other thing, remember, we saw what happened in China and it was scary, scary in China.
01:56:36.780 And remember, this is also a time where we have basically no testing.
01:56:40.480 So no idea who has it.
01:56:42.460 No idea how to track who has it.
01:56:44.520 Totally different situation than we're in today.
01:56:47.260 We had no real concept as to what we were about to face.
01:56:51.360 Our hospitals had no PPEs.
01:56:53.180 Yeah.
01:56:53.800 I mean, we didn't have we didn't have what did Obama call them?
01:56:58.700 Breathulators.
01:57:00.840 We didn't we didn't have any ventilators for people who had problems with breathing.
01:57:06.160 And a lot of that wound up being wrong.
01:57:08.800 I mean, the CDC's guidance as to how many deaths as it related to how many hospitalizations was so wildly incorrect that all these models on the hospitalizations were totally off, which is one of the you know, this is one of the excuses of the Cuomo administration.
01:57:24.740 We just thought there was going to be more people who came into the hospital.
01:57:26.820 So we sent all the sick people back to the nursing homes.
01:57:29.640 Oh, brilliant way to handle that.
01:57:31.740 But but this is also the night that the NBA canceled its season.
01:57:37.420 If you know the clip, there's a great actually an interesting podcast.
01:57:41.100 If you want to relive this day, ESPN 30 for 30 has a podcast.
01:57:45.820 I think it's called March 11th, 2020.
01:57:47.360 And it goes through the day of like what was happening behind the scenes as the Oklahoma City, Utah Jazz game was beginning.
01:57:55.220 And they found out last second they got a positive test of one of the players.
01:57:59.420 The entire crowd's there already.
01:58:01.300 They're already at the game.
01:58:02.220 They're about to tip off.
01:58:03.220 All of a sudden, the players just got to walk off the court nonchalantly.
01:58:06.920 And the refs sort of like walk around and everyone's just silent.
01:58:09.700 And the game's just not starting.
01:58:11.060 And no one knows why.
01:58:13.080 And then they make this announcement.
01:58:14.480 And it's like, hey, everybody, game's been canceled.
01:58:18.540 You're all safe.
01:58:19.880 Don't worry.
01:58:21.540 Everything's fine.
01:58:23.060 Just move quietly to the exit and check our website for detail.
01:58:27.380 It's like that crazy.
01:58:28.960 Hey, NBA fans.
01:58:30.660 Thanks for coming.
01:58:32.420 We have moved all of the players and all the officials.
01:58:35.860 In fact, I'm speaking to you from outside of the building.
01:58:39.680 But take your time.
01:58:42.240 No rush at all.
01:58:44.320 You're riddled with infection.
01:58:46.740 But we'll see you next time.
01:58:48.960 And at that point, we really were at the time where we didn't know.
01:58:53.700 Like, if you were in the room or a stadium with a guy who had COVID, do you get it?
01:58:59.640 Like, it was unknown at that point.
01:59:01.400 It was really all big questions.
01:59:03.780 And then it was that night later on, they canceled the season.
01:59:06.740 The other sports followed.
01:59:07.880 And it was the 16th of March when they instituted the 15 days to stop the spread, which you remember, of course, Donald Trump's sort of famous speech from that time.
01:59:19.340 So it is a this is it.
01:59:21.680 And it's interesting going back and seeing all this stuff, all these weird anniversaries, all the weird takes that everyone had back then.
01:59:27.940 You could tell. And I think if you go through this year and you haven't been humbled on getting something wrong with COVID, you're way too certain of yourself.
01:59:37.140 I think everybody from the skeptical side of the argument to the hyper freak out side of the argument.
01:59:44.360 I don't know. I was pretty down the middle.
01:59:47.700 I mean, I don't think.
01:59:48.520 Did you ever predict there's gonna be 500,000 dead people?
01:59:51.400 No, I said, don't fear the numbers, fear the economic ramifications.
01:59:57.500 You were also very high on the hospital worries.
02:00:00.540 I was.
02:00:01.140 And that did not pan out.
02:00:02.480 Right. I was worried about that we were we were going to over overload, which is why I was for the 15 day pause.
02:00:09.240 It's amazing. Everyone I talk to about this is the one person who got it all right.
02:00:12.120 It's amazing how and they all disagree with each other, yet they're all right.
02:00:15.620 I mean, I'd like to know where I was wrong.
02:00:17.820 I don't know where I was wrong, but I'm sure I was.
02:00:20.180 Yeah. I mean, I will say this. I think I've been, you know, I'm out of this at a step with a lot of conservatives and taking it, I think, more seriously than a lot of conservatives have.
02:00:29.180 I haven't been as skeptical, but I did not think we'd be anywhere close to this death count.
02:00:33.700 I would. And I know people will be like, oh, well, they're manipulating the numbers.
02:00:36.860 They're they're measuring this the same way they do every other disease.
02:00:39.360 You can have a problem with the way they record deaths of disease if you want.
02:00:42.220 But the bottom line is this. These numbers are really high.
02:00:45.540 The overall deaths are really high. The excess deaths from a normal year are incredibly high.
02:00:51.440 I did not think it would get this bad. I will be honest with you.
02:00:55.040 I totally did not think that was going to happen.
02:00:57.520 I remember when Fauci and all them or Birx came out and said one hundred thousand to two hundred and forty thousand.
02:01:01.640 Trump was out there as well saying that. And I was like two hundred and forty thousand.
02:01:05.460 It seemed completely insane a year ago.
02:01:08.380 See, I heard two million a year ago and thought that was completely insane.
02:01:13.560 And both turned out to be completely insane.
02:01:15.520 Insane. Yep.
02:01:17.180 This is the Glenn Beck program.
