When you're a dog owner, you might you want to do everything you can to give them a long and happy and healthy life because they're part of the family.
00:00:08.680
My dog Uno is part of the family, and he had a trouble.
00:00:16.180
We would have to freeze like we were playing statue with the kids every time that he would eat.
00:00:23.280
Rough greens have given him the willingness to eat again.
00:00:28.560
And the vitality that he had as a puppy used to be the pickiest eater.
00:00:35.420
In fact, he's kind of annoying at 11 o'clock at night when he's like, I got the ball.
00:00:42.480
Anyway, maybe I should start eating rough greens.
00:00:46.640
You get a free bag of rough greens now for your dog to try out.
00:00:52.360
It's a supplement that has all of the healthy stuff that they need and they can't get from their kibble food.
00:01:06.320
What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:01:40.640
Well, scientists have finally come out and said it.
00:01:58.480
That's just the theme of the show might be the only time we mention it, but I just want you to know it's now scientifically proven.
00:02:05.520
If you like cats, there must be something wrong with you because cats are psychopaths.
00:02:18.020
Also, we're going to I want to talk to you about who we really are and how we build our kids into who they really are, not what society is making them into.
00:02:33.080
The Glenn Beck program standing up for what you believe in can be challenging at times, but there are basic things you can do that aren't so challenging, like buying from companies that believe in what you believe in.
00:02:50.860
I can't tell you the opportunity that we have in front of us that we've never had before.
00:02:57.040
You know, we've we've said, oh, yeah, well, I'm going to boycott that.
00:03:00.740
Well, you really are you are you because I know I've tried to boycott several things that I'm like, nah, didn't work out because they make everything.
00:03:10.000
However, there is a way to get away from the big mobile companies.
00:03:17.200
These guys not only will give you great service at a fraction, literally a fraction of the cost.
00:03:23.840
They're on the same cell towers as everybody else.
00:03:26.300
So you're going to get the same coverage in the same kind of service.
00:03:35.120
That would be a real it would be almost diabolical if Soros did something like that.
00:03:39.940
But he wouldn't because all the people who like Soros are like, hey, he's not such a bad guy.
00:03:51.080
And now it is it's run by people who believe in the same thing that you believe in.
00:04:11.400
They're supporting things like Planned Parenthood.
00:04:15.560
Such an opportunity right now to send a huge message.
00:04:27.140
Patriot Mobile dot com slash back or call 972 Patriot.
00:04:30.260
972 Patriot or Patriot Mobile dot com slash back.
00:04:36.660
I want to tell you a story that that that really illustrates who we are, who we are as a people.
00:04:46.080
Now, who we are doesn't mean it's who we're going to be.
00:04:51.280
And there is a real problem in our country right now with our children.
00:05:01.520
I really feel bad for my kids because my kids are dealing with stuff I didn't even think of until I was maybe 40 or honestly.
00:05:16.260
And they're forced to deal with it and make decisions on things.
00:05:22.380
Meanwhile, as they're going through their most awkward time of their life.
00:05:29.900
Let's catch you on camera to make sure we preserve it and put it online forever.
00:05:43.480
I'm a dad just like you, and I don't know how to raise my teenagers.
00:05:50.620
If your kids don't listen to you, you know, your wisdom, because it's dad.
00:05:57.220
Let's switch kids for a while because I'm sure they'll listen to you.
00:06:13.900
My kids, your kids, they are adrift in this sea of awful stuff.
00:06:25.380
My son came to me last week and he was talking about things that he's supposed to do.
00:06:30.560
And if it was like taking out the garbage, I would understand.
00:06:55.660
And I said to him, you're not supposed to do any of that stuff.
00:07:02.920
You're supposed to take the things that we taught you, not throw them away.
00:07:13.280
And every time you make a bad decision, you limit your future opportunities.
00:07:22.500
However, once you correct that decision, everything opens up.
00:07:32.920
He doesn't know, and I don't think our kids know,
00:07:42.920
My son said to me, I don't know what I'm going to be, Dad.
00:08:05.320
All of the things that are already inside of him.
00:08:11.300
Well, I don't know how I'm supposed to make money with that.
00:08:16.240
Well, nobody in my family knew how I was going to make money doing this.
00:08:19.200
And I think a lot of the listeners right now are going,
00:08:22.580
I don't know how he makes money at that either.
00:08:28.100
So for people my age, let me tell you who we were.
00:08:40.940
Farmers and children and women lining the streets of small towns.
00:08:45.780
And they're ready to hurl vegetables and abuse at Nazis.
00:09:13.740
the townsfolk here in America just stared, mouths open, eyes sunken.
00:09:23.980
except for the clip-clop drag of the soldiers' long, long-worn boots.
00:09:28.960
The sharpened teeth and the blood-lust stares went away.
00:09:38.840
POWs weren't beast-like like the Nazi death soldiers.
00:09:48.500
They were muddy, listless, broken, and terrified.
00:09:52.140
They marched to their camps here in America, quietly.
00:10:07.360
June 1944, a horde of Nazi POWs slumped down in the streets of Moscow.
00:10:16.500
The story goes that before the Soviets marched the POW, the Nazis, through Moscow,
00:10:23.580
they fed them laxatives and then wouldn't let them stop.
00:10:33.620
things became very, very verifiably worse for the Nazi POWs in Russia.
00:10:43.400
Between 300,000 and 1 million never made it home.
00:10:57.800
Because the Nazis were cruel and brutal to the Russians,
00:11:10.360
established the rules for housing and care of POWs.
00:11:19.320
Combatants are no longer required to treat them
00:11:27.840
German and Japanese soldiers violated every single one.
00:11:40.720
were justified in doing whatever they wanted to
00:11:51.980
But this isn't a story of the brutality of the Soviets
00:12:59.540
camps had to be far from urban areas for security,
00:42:18.220
what you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment this is the
00:42:51.680
hello america and welcome to the glenn back program
00:43:02.780

00:43:08.180

00:43:19.700
the glenn back program if you're among the majority of people who use the same

oopsie you should be aware that cyber uh cyber attack method called credential
00:43:34.580
stuffing that's when a cyber criminal finds that the username and password you're so fond of
00:43:40.100
they gain access to that and then they go into all of your accounts
00:43:47.340
it is important to understand how cyber crime and identity theft are affecting our lives

00:44:48.040
i think we all understand how bad it is that the gas prices are so high
00:44:58.520
california you're going to look at these days as the good old days
00:45:02.820
remember when it was only five dollars a gallon
01:42:12.100
data but purports to eliminate about 90 percent of
01:42:14.800
hospital visits for people who take it if that's
01:42:17.120
available if we have pills that can do that the
01:42:23.680
right direction uh they don't need the hospital
01:42:31.000
antibody treatment um but i would want to increase
01:42:34.520
access to all of that stuff and i would also say i
01:42:37.060
would speed up the freaking process for example for
01:42:40.460
example the vaccines for the delta variant which
01:42:43.820
already exists but are in this same we need to wait
01:42:48.240
eight months to approve them type of situation which
01:42:53.480
right all right you left off the biggest the you
01:42:55.480

01:44:45.960
it all started with a misunderstanding according to the los angeles times
01:45:05.000
a black theater student at coastal carolina university told a visiting drama teacher
01:45:09.620
she wanted to connect with non-white students so the teacher drew up a list of
01:45:14.780
names on a whiteboard then forgot to erase it when they left the studio
01:45:19.820
when several other students walked in they saw this list and they were left with
01:45:24.100
the suspicion that those on it had been singled out with racist intent
01:45:29.500
a committee of professors investigated and promptly sent out a department-wide
01:45:34.220
email clarifying what had happened that september day seeking to calm the
01:45:38.100
students the professors wrote that the explanation in no way undermines the
01:45:41.760
feelings that any of you feel about the incident
01:45:44.580
and that the faculty was deeply sorry the visiting teacher also wrote an
01:45:49.560
apology no matter the good intention i still want you to know i'm an idiot and
01:45:53.400
well things might have ended there but at a time when college campuses have
01:45:58.080
become center stage for the polarizing issues of race identity and what
01:46:01.960
the theater department was primed for conflict enter steve ernest steve is with us now we've
01:46:10.140
had him on before when this story first broke what two months ago
01:46:13.720
uh yes uh it seems longer than that yeah i bet it does i bet it does um this is an amazing
01:46:23.000
story especially written by the uh by the la times um it shows that the person who really came
01:46:29.480
out with you uh or or come out after you one of the students was really truly seemingly to me at
01:46:38.020
least out of control i'm not going to ask you to comment on that um what has happened since
01:46:42.800
they took you off and said we're not sure we're going to have to investigate this
01:46:47.940
well uh you know again i was i was removed from teaching and uh you know assigned to other duties
01:46:54.980
which i you know received sometime around november the second um but um i'm simply happy to be
01:47:02.820
reinstated at this point and uh apparently will be teaching again next semester um i'm not sure what
01:47:08.860
that world will be like but i'm certainly um you know i have a long history uh at of great work
01:47:14.400
at coastal carolina university and i'm i'm intending to continue that work uh at this point in my life
01:47:20.740
so what is the because i know that the administrators some of them came out that you thought were friends
01:47:28.480
came out against you um in including the department chair who said the words in your email were white
01:47:36.340
supremacist language i think of people burning crosses and wearing white robes and that's about as far
01:47:42.760
away from me as i can ever imagine now he says he didn't he says he don't he doesn't remember
01:47:48.400
saying these things eric doesn't remember saying that you were a white supremacist
01:47:52.820
but do you it was yeah it was said at a meeting and i did not disclose the name of the person who
01:48:01.000
who said it i didn't feel like i i should disclose that name um but it was said at a meeting and um
01:48:08.680
i think that the writer because they couldn't um you know pin down exactly who said it just you know
01:48:15.560
made the chair responsible for it okay so it it wasn't eric hall no okay all right well that's that's
01:48:22.740
fair good good to know um so um but when when they said you could you could go back that your behavior
01:48:30.380
was under review to determine whether your emails endangered the welfare of students or violated
01:48:35.780
the code of ethical conduct requiring employees to create a respectful environment nurture a climate
01:48:40.600
of fairness and civility towards others even in the face of disagreement um they said that your actions
01:48:47.600
didn't warrant disciplinary and disciplinary action at this time what is that what i mean is that how
01:48:56.780
it's left is this still hanging over you uh you know i we'll see you know um but my attorney who is a
01:49:05.660
i don't know what's going on there my attorney who is a big fan of yours ruth smith in asheville
01:49:12.380
north carolina hi ruth me to uh to uh to say say hello to you and uh um you know she's keeping a
01:49:20.200
watch on the whole situation and so we are you know we're taking it day by day and we will just
01:49:25.680
approach um you know next semester and um i'm i'm considering uh you know body cam and things like
01:49:32.960
this just to uh just to make sure are you gonna the theater is all about trust and exploration
01:49:40.800
uh i mean i tell my daughter she wants to go into acting and i'm i'm praying on my knees every day
01:49:48.900
that something happens that doesn't let that happen but uh she uh you know she comes home she's in high
01:49:56.540
school and girls are not just mean they are vicious to one another yeah and she comes home
01:50:03.220
and she'll be crying about something i said honey you know a i'm sorry and you know we we commiserate
01:50:09.060
on on what what happened but also say to her you have to get used to this because if you really do want
01:50:16.600
to be in acting people are going to say the worst things about you all the time and you have to
01:50:23.400
develop thick skin because not only can i say the worst things about you you're going to try out
01:50:28.800
for things and you're going to start in for 20 seconds and they're going to say next you can't
01:50:33.840
be crushed you can't be crushed isn't there a lesson for the students here you know um you know it's funny
01:50:43.140
that you would say that because just this morning i got a wonderful email from a major talent agent in
01:50:49.860
los angeles who starts out by saying bravo you i'm a talent manager and that the students are going
01:50:57.000
to be faced with rejection their whole lives please stay your course they will learn far from you more
01:51:02.900
from you that way than they even realize um so i mean it it really is it really is that way um i in
01:51:11.080
my opinion it's a very very difficult world and you really do have to have a very very thick skin to
01:51:16.640
even have a chance of surviving right and it seems as though i mean you know i read one of the things
01:51:22.440
you said to one of these girls is there um hey shakespeare in the park and they're looking to cast
01:51:27.040
people like you and it's unclear whether it was her voice her talent or her color but i will tell you
01:51:34.280
that my daughter was told by an agent people like you are going to have a very hard time finding a job
01:51:41.640
right now and i said what do you mean people like you and she said white people and we were like okay
01:51:46.340
and we moved on with our lives we moved on with our lives i mean it is it reverse discrimination is
01:51:52.740
happening right now discrimination or whatever happens because fat people skinny people white
01:51:58.340
people black people it shouldn't be that way but it is well you know i again i've worked in
01:52:05.400
professional theater for 30 years and colorblind casting was something that was happening 20 years
01:52:10.740
ago it didn't matter you know what if you were working in shakespeare it didn't matter what what
01:52:15.440
color you were or what your ethnic heritage or anything was it it had to do with with your voice and
01:52:21.560
your ability um and so i think we've been past this for years and for some reason now it it's come back
01:52:30.400
to haunt us i mean uh again this this idea of of racism and casting um this is a i think just look
01:52:39.820
at the tv these days it's it's such a great time for people of color to be working in the theater i
01:52:45.640
mean oh yeah and we all celebrate that i mean it's great yeah um so and it's a it's a great time for all
01:52:52.960
people in in any kind of entertainment because the access is everywhere if you don't get access at
01:52:59.460
theater you get access someplace else i mean you can do anything now with the internet uh and and
01:53:06.280
find your own way and it's a remarkably free world that seemingly just wants to keep putting itself back
01:53:12.380
into a bottle of of uh of oppression uh everywhere but if you understand it be free just do it
01:53:21.200
yeah and we still can't wrap our minds around what level of you know pandemic of breakdown
01:53:29.220
this this might have represented you know people just uh because you know a lot of these people
01:53:33.640
are facing um a world where who knows what the direction of a theater will be and in film and what
01:53:40.620
well i mean what will the access to work be and casting uh in the future uncertain times that's the
01:53:47.560
same thing that i go through that the same thing that you are going through and not just because of this
01:53:52.800
incident but because things are changing i don't know if the campus is going to be like the campus is
01:53:58.820
now in 10 years change is part of life and if we expect our universities to be a bubble and protect
01:54:07.720
them i mean the one thing it should be taught right now is the only thing consistent will be constant
01:54:15.760
change and it's it's hard but if your school isn't preparing you for that they're not preparing you for
01:54:23.540
life am i wrong right no you're 100 right and this is you know this situation is not unique to coastal
01:54:32.860
carolina it's uh it's happening at universities uh my attorney said we're seeing as many as six of
01:54:39.420
these a day sometimes you know these types of things um steve i uh i i i'm i'm sorry to hear that you
01:54:48.140
feel like you you might have to wear a uh a body cam uh what a sad sad statement that is i i would
01:54:56.220
encourage you to have videotape on everything anyway um but uh it's sad that you have to be there
01:55:02.020
and i'm i'm glad you went back and i and i hope that everybody gets along and you can go back to
01:55:08.380
some sort of normalcy uh and do what you do best yeah well the great thing is at universities people
01:55:15.300
graduate so and we move on yeah yeah that's good all right steve thank you so much uh he's a theater
01:55:22.160
professor at coastal carolina university reinstated now over uh racism charges uh in a ridiculous
01:55:29.440
ridiculous ridiculous story i mean i'm surprised they didn't fire him because he voted for trump
01:55:33.640
quite honestly oops did i say that out they knew um but uh good for him we'll watch the story closely
01:55:41.920
i'm a reasonable guy but even i have my limits on certain things i mean i'm perfectly willing to eat
01:55:48.180
healthy food you know um as long as it doesn't taste like healthy food and that is why i love built
01:55:54.820
bars they are healthy but they don't taste healthy they taste like really good candy bars they're
01:56:01.800
delicious and i have standards to uphold if you haven't tried built bars yet you're really missing
01:56:07.980

01:56:56.480
covid started there's been one christmas yeah well there technically has been one so far but this will
01:57:03.140
be the second one right i guess then wow like one summer yeah it just feels like it's like one
01:57:12.100
year has passed yeah i was thinking about this donald trump
01:57:21.660
that like wait it doesn't feel possible january 6th was this this year was this year yeah i mean
01:57:31.400
we're coming up to its year anniversary doesn't it seem like
01:57:41.020
how long ago was that just over a year ago it was october i think of 2020 2020
01:57:49.760
i mean just over a year ago that feels like a hundred years ago a hundred years ago like
01:57:57.160
donald trump feels like he was president in like 2012 right he feels like it feels like
01:58:02.840
mitt romney time yeah you know his election in 2016 feels like 2012 yes so much has happened
01:58:11.620
in the last year i i you know people i mean just over the new year i mean people were still
01:58:19.660
really inside and not doing much and there was that worry about about you're not allowed to meet
01:58:26.320
i mean it's a little different in in places like texas it's been normal for forever for a long time
01:58:32.740
yeah i mean we were in there for about three months and they were like yeah i think we had
01:58:36.760
enough of this i mean really it was six weeks of full sort of like most stuff was closed here in
01:58:41.660
texas and then they opened up the restaurants i know i was there may 1st 2020 and it all kind of
01:58:47.460
made sense didn't it yeah and still does and then we made we had a flare up uh in the south
01:58:54.080
over the summer uh-huh and we had some restrictions kind of pop back on that you know we went i think
01:58:59.420
at one point we went from 50 opening for restaurants to 75 and then back to 50 for a short time and so
01:59:05.380
it was we were still sort of dealing with that down here at that point after that flare up though it's
01:59:09.960
been pretty much normal you know i mean the events at first were closed right but the first uh full
01:59:16.120
capacity event was here in texas in april but that was april this year that feels like forever ago to me
01:59:21.460
you can't relate to this because you're not old enough but kavanaugh's hearing seems as far back
01:59:27.900
almost as robert bork you know it's weird it's just this thing that time has just i don't know
01:59:37.900
what it is is it just because everything is happening so fast i think so and i think too we've
01:59:42.180
spent a lot of time and i think this is very unhealthy for a society but we spent a lot of time
01:59:46.360
thinking to ourselves we just got to get past x i haven't heard a single person say not this year
01:59:52.520
not this year not this year this is the first year you haven't seen i can't wait for 2021 to be over
01:59:56.460
2022 is going to be better yeah no one believes that yeah we all know it's getting worse stop
02:00:00.780
you know it's like it's like matrix sequels we all know the next one's going to be worse why are we
02:00:05.220
getting excited like none of it really matters you're just kind of like going through the motions
02:00:09.140
and you're like hey happy new year oh my god that sucks but i think that we have spent so much
02:00:15.680
time since particularly covid where you're just like okay if we could just get past this thing
02:00:21.100
we could get past let's just get past you know the next thing and then there's the election we
02:00:24.400
just got to get past that and then we just got to get past the you know all the crap going on and
02:00:28.260
all of these gigantic news stories that have happened you know once the written house trial is over and
02:00:33.240
if i could put you in if i could put you into a walt disney freezer under treasure island or wherever
02:00:40.400
uh and then open it up in 10 years not far enough from the problems right right 10 years you open up
02:00:51.360
they put you into frost and you're like oh crap put me back in yeah right if i could open you at 2050
02:00:57.560
now would it seem what your kids would still be alive oh that would be cool would it be too
02:01:03.820
freaky because things probably are going to be a lot different yeah i got it would be a lot different
02:01:13.820
a lot of changes i'd like to check in see how it's going but i don't know that i want to stay okay that's
02:01:19.240
why you need that you don't want the freezer you want the time machine so then you can go back to
02:01:23.080
the times that you liked that yeah but when you do that you realize wow there's something faulty here
02:01:29.080
it's either with a machine or my memory it wasn't so great back then well glenn if we could just get
02:01:34.600
past omicron then everything is gonna be fine don't worry it's just this last mutation just this is it
02:01:41.700
if we could just get past armageddon right we will be fine there's a giant asteroid currently
